This summer Stanton turned heads at pretty much every major Tech fair with the unveiling of their revolutionary new Mixstation controller, the SCS.4DJ. What sets the SCS.4DJ apart from its competitors is that no laptop or external computer is required to play your music. It's a fully integrated all-in-one system comprised of software, computer and controller and is capable of playing music from your USB stick, smartphone, iPod/iPhone or external hard drive. All major file formats are all catered for including MP3, MP4, AAC, WAV, and AIFF.
This is a feature heavy unit that is set to take the DJ market by storm!
The SCS.4DJ adopts a traditional 2-channel mixer style and Stanton have created a thoughtful layout and been careful not to overcrowd or overcomplicate things. All buttons are nicely illuminated with 2 central 7-LED stereo master output meters.
It's extremely lightweight weighing in at only 5.0lbs and although quite plasticky it feels fairly sturdy with a rugged build quality. Overall the unit is well put together and although the casing doesn't appear as durable as some other units on the market it is built from the same scratch and scuff resistant material as the SCS.3.
Ease of use and portability are its key selling points so once in the booth you just take the audio out, either 1/4" TRS or RCA phonos, and plug straight into the amp or mixer channel. No additional soundcard or computer required! A great feature is the inclusion of both 1/4" and 1/8" stereo headphone connectors as I'm always losing and misplacing the adaptors.
Once you've loaded up your portable drive of choice with tracks, plugged it in and switched on the device the SCS.4DJ will instantly start analysing the tracks. This actually takes a fair while at only 1/4 the speed of the overall track time, meaning your 10-minute epic house tune is going take around 2.5 mins to fully analyse. You'll need to do all your gig preparation ahead of time rather than on the fly.
I was hoping for some sort of 'Rekordbox' style software for quickly analysing and creating playlists but I have been informed that an offline analyser app called QuickGrid is currently in beta which will be capable of analysing a song every few seconds.
Now that your tracks are ready it's time to turn your attention to the central 4.3inch colour screen where much of the action takes place. From here you can start to sort your music and create playlists or dive straight into loading tracks to the decks and getting a mix going. Navigation of the menu screens was pretty intuitive and on the whole using the device required little or no referencing of the manual. The built in screen means you can do all your track selection, mixing, beat juggles, and FX triggers without having to look away from the unit.
Browsing and selecting tracks is done by the large navigation wheel between the EQ's with "soft" buttons each side of the screen to load tracks to either Deck A or Deck B. No chances of accidentally loading up a track on the wrong deck as they go into lock mode as soon as you hit play. Manageable playlists are key here as searching for tracks by the character input method can be time consuming so best to sort your music by BPM, artist, genre, comments etc.
The high-resolution 4.75" touch-sensitive platters are weighted and provide very responsive scratch, touch and nudge functionality; however I found skipping through tracks using the fast forward mode too slow when trying to quickly preview tracks. Scratching audio back and forth sounds extremely accurate and although it's unlikely to be a device that appeals to the most hardened scratch fans, I experienced pretty much zero lag time and is a testament to the quality of the build, software and accuracy of the platters.
Finding and setting your initial cue point is done in much the same way as cueing on a CDJ but the ability to add multiple cue points or hot cues is a notable absence.
The beat grid and BPM detection software is very advanced and accurately synced up tracks of varying styles and tempos with a pretty much 100% success rate. I didn't go as far as testing with any particularly abstract electronica but it easily managed my selection of house, techno, dubstep, and drum and bass. Additionally there is a TAP tempo button for your non standard musical genres. The colour-coded waveforms displayed on screen are bright and clear and are instantly recognisable to users of Traktor or Serato.
When switching off sync mode I really enjoyed having a freestyle mix using the pitch faders and platters to manually beat match. The faders can be adjusted between +/-5% and +/-100% so you can achieve a very accurate mix. As previously mentioned the platters have a very authentic feel to them when nudging or scratching and are even capable of realistic sounding spin backs.
The 3 band EQ's are of a notable quality with complete kill and +6dB boost which certainly added to the smoothness of the mix but another notable absence is the omission of any gain controls. All tracks are normalized by the inbuilt auto-gain but in a club / bar environment it's often essential to have that added dimension of control. I really like the depth and control of the filter effect too. Delay, Flange, and Slice (glitch/stutter) effects are also included and are automatically synchronized to your tracks' BPM but can only be used one at a time.
On the fly looping is also a nice inclusion and with snap mode enabled you can easily and accurately drop into a loop snapped to the nearest beat. You can set the default loop length in the system preferences but once you trigger a loop a great feature is that you can actually halve or double the loop length by using the divide and multiple buttons to quickly get the desired length.
There is an Auto-DJ function that will automatically mix tracks form your playlist and fade them together using one of six predetermined fade times. It was cool listening back to tracks as a continuous mix at home while you're doing other tasks or hanging out with friends but not a feature I'd use in a performance scenario.
Once you're familiar with the controls, recording your fist mix is as simple as hitting the 'Rec' button the master LED output and the SCS.4DJ will instantly start recording your set in WAV to your USB stick. Couldn't be easier!
Finally, for those with a computer and DJ software such as Traktor, Mixvibes or Virtual DJ you can use the SCS.4DJ as a standard MIDI controller connected via USB. Traktor and VDJ mappings will be available shortly.
This is a huge step forward in the controllerism market as people continue to look for ways to scale down and miniaturize their performance set up with more convenient plug and play options. It also presents a very affordable option for those not willing to splash out on a laptop or perhaps compromise their existing laptop by taking it to gigs.
There are some minor gripes such as, no gain controls, slow file analysis and only one cue point per track, that stop this from becoming a professional performance controller for the club. But as a unit that retails for less than £500 there are many areas where it excels and is well suited for home, bar, after party and mobile use.
There's currently no other unit like this on the market and is a product I highly recommend to our Trackitdown customers.
If you like what you see then we urge you to head over to your nearest Stanton dealer and get a hands on demo of this fantastic bit of kit.

text: ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/patches/2.6-unstable/2.6.11-rc3/2.6.11-rc3-udm1.tar.bz2 Patches 1 and 2 are in upstream bitkeeper. We still need more testing of dm-crypt and dm-raid1 (pvmove/dmraid) on multi-TB devices. I recommend you don't apply patch 14 here unless you specifically intend to test that patch with dmsetup. Existing LVM2 and EVMS tools needs some modification to work with it correctly, and more patches like that will follow. The LVM2 source tree will branch for a while as these changes are worked on to make snapshot creation more reliable. I'm preparing to submit the multipath patches upstream. Alasdair Revision 1: stripe_width should be sector_t to support large devices. Signed-Off-By: Alasdair G Kergon <agk redhat com> [Included upstream] Revision 2: Fix some bugs in device-mapper handling of 64-bit values, replacing dm_div_up() and dm_round_up() inlines with macros and removing some avoidable divisions of 64-bit numbers. The mirror region size is the granularity used to manage and monitor the data copying, typically 512KB, so 32 bits (of sectors) should be plenty to hold this. Taken together with the two earlier patches: "fix TB stripe data corruption" (a missing cast) and "stripe_width should be sector_t", I've now had 3 independent reports that this fixes device-mapper for devices with large stripes. Still awaiting test results for dm-crypt and dm-raid1. Signed-Off-By: Alasdair G Kergon <agk redhat com> [Included upstream] Revision 3: Use %llu not %Lu in sscanf/printf format strings. Signed-Off-By: Alasdair G Kergon <agk redhat com> Revision 4: Only call format_dev_t once. Revision 5: Functions to record and restore bio state. Revision 6: Export map info for multipath. Revision 7: Multipath. Revision 8: Round-robin path selector. Revision 9: Hardware-handler. Revision 10: EMC Hardware-handler. Revision 11: Flakey. Revision 12: Handle writes to a snapshot-origin device that has been extended since the snapshot was taken. Revision 13: More snapshot metadata reading into separate function. Revision 14: Move snapshot metadata loading to happen when table is created instead of when device is resumed. Origin writes don't trigger exceptions until snapshot table becomes active (when resume() is called on snapshot). NB This patch may break some existing LVM2 and EVMS operations. Revision 15: The patch adds new interfaces to bio.c that support the creation of local bio and bvec pools. This is important for layered drivers that need to allocate new bio and bvec structures in response to bio's submitted to it from higher up. The layered drivers can allocate local pools of bio structures to preclude deadlock under global bio pool exhaustion. The device mapper source files have been modified to remove duplicate bio code, and to use the new interfaces to create local bio pools. From: Dave Olien <dmo osdl org> Revision 16: mm kgdb

The Most Annoying Coworker Is…
A coworker who screws up then doesn't take responsibility is officially the most obnoxious type of office behavior, according to a recent survey from LinkedIn. I would agree with that!
They asked 17,000 employees around the world to share the actions that drive them "up the cubicle wall". And here are the top five:
5. People who don't respond to emails.
4. Starting meetings late or going long.
3. Dirty common areas.
2. Constant complainers.
1. People not taking ownership for their actions.
What do you think is the most annoying thing a coworker can do?

Women Don't Care About Contraception?
On ABC's The View, the governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, said that women don't care about contraception. News to me. Here, all along I thought, women (and men) care very much about contraception. I thought American women and families cared very much about being able to decide whether and when to have a child. Shows what I know.
When pressed, the governor tried to backpedal, saying that maybe women cared about birth control, but we don't need government making that decision for us. I am sorry, I missed it. Exactly which government policy is telling women they have to use birth control? Here I thought we were talking about government making sure that women had insurance coverage for birth control and allowing a woman and her partner to decide for themselves about using it. Silly me.
And while we are on the topic of letting women decide for themselves, can we talk about the South Carolina bill that would take away comprehensive insurance coverage from women and families? The South Carolina legislature is currently considering a bill that would actually prevent an insurance company from selling, and a woman from buying, a comprehensive insurance plan that includes abortion care. Remind me again how a government ban on insurance coverage for reproductive health care allows a woman to make her own decision?
Tell Gov. Haley that women do care about contraception. Tell her that we do care about being able to make our private health care decisions. Tell her she ought to support comprehensive insurance coverage for women instead of working to take it away.

text: The foundation of this plan is to keep possession and not inefficiently kick it away. Therefore, the goalkeeper must have the ability to hold onto the ball and make adequate and appropriate passes from which their team can progress. The Spanish way of football may not dominate the next decade, but any future developments, such as Germany's machine like approach, have and will always incorporate this goalkeeping style.

LW LA 5 years ago
Michael Cammalleri isn't bothered by the fact that the Calgary Flames are poorly regarded by bookies.
"If that's what the experts want to say, that's fine," Cammalleri said. "We know we're not a favorite, but we like our group. We like our team. Team is the important thing. We play a sport where team play is exemplified more than any other sport. If we can become a good team, those odds change quickly." Any team is obviously capable of defying the odds, especially in a shortened season, but that doesn't mean that most will. Going into the season, Calgary should be regarded as a bubble team in the playoff race at best.

Hi everyone, just thought I would introduce myself and tell you what an awesome site you have here!
I'm Kat, I live in the UK and am a Structural Engineer by day, although I am currently on maternity leave with a 9 month old baby so have had some spare time to dedicate to baking and cake decorating recently!
I've been a keen hobby baker for quite some time, but only recently taken the plunge into decorating - mostly simple cupcakes until now but I have just this weekend finished my first full cake! I made this Ipad cake for the birthday of my older son's best friend and am really pleased considering it is my first try and I am a complete novice.
I naively thought that covering the cake with fondant would be the easy bit but boy was I wrong! So that's the first thing I will be searing on here for hints and tips on!
Looking around this site I can see that I have a VERY long way to go, but I can see I am definitely in the right place to start learning!
Welcome! That is a fabulous cake! I love this website, it is so helpful in every way.
You did an EXCELLENT job!! Really, I'm not just saying that!! Good for you! Be careful, it gets addicting!
You will find so much info on this site and best of all, the members are so supportive and helpful- welcome!
I'm in a cake funk right now, so-- its so nice to read about someone getting excited-- I suggest, rent, buy as many tutorials as you can- Sharon Zambitos- Buttercream video is a must have!!! Craftsy is always running sales- excellent videos-- Etsy offers so many- you tube and so many other generous decorators have posted free tutorials- There is also My Cake School- worth the 30.00 US for the year-- just a few suggestions--
Ohh-- I wouldn't say you were a beginner/novice anymore- you are well on your way!
Hope to keep in touch-
PS-- The 9 months is that "paid" maternity leave, as in the US we only get 6 weeks- and in most professions you need to use your own sick time to get paid- I know in Finland they get 2 years PAID leave-- I was just wondering
Welcome, Fondant is not always easy (it can really vary with the weather) but it is very rewarding. Practice will help make it easier. You will find a wealth of information in the old threads on this site if you a prepared to search.
wow thats an amazing cake! im new too and the 'cakers' as i like to call them are sooooo supportive.
can i ask did u use a printed sheet on ur cake or did u make all the icons?
that cake is fab! and i agree-ur not a novice anymore!!
Welcome! Such a great cake. There is a wealth of knowledge here. The best cakes I ever made were because of the information I learned from this site.. Looking forward to see what you do next :)
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and your kind words :)
Funny you should say that as I think part of my problem (other than inexperience!) was that it was maybe a little too cold to be fully workable. I will certainly be spending some time searching the forum for info, when the baby allows me to!
I didn't use a printed sheet, all of the icons are kind of 3D and I made them all by hand, even cut the letters for "iPad" freehand which was pretty fiddly I can tell you!
Thanks for the suggestions Mo, I will definitely be checking those out! Regarding maternity leave, here in the UK we are entitled to up to 12 months off work - the first 6 weeks at 90% of full pay, the remainder of 9 months is a statutory amount (not much but enough to get by) and then the remaining 3 months are unpaid but many return at the end of the paid 9 month period. I know we have it good compared to you guys over there and am very grateful for it, but had no idea that in Finland they get 2 paid years - that would be fantastic!
Thanks again for your lovely comments people!

Kansas star Joel Embiid – a possible No. 1 overall choice – has decided to enter the June NBA draft, sources told Yahoo Sports.
Embiid, a 20-year-old, 7-foot freshman, rapidly emerged as one of college basketball's major talents and moved into competition with Jayhawks teammate Andrew Wiggins and Duke's Jabari Parker to be the No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft.
A formal announcement on Embiid's decision is expected soon. In the past week, Embiid has progressed in settling on agent representation, but no final decision has been made, sources said.

Clemson QB Deshaun Watson suffers apparent left knee injury
Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered an apparent left knee injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game at Georgia Tech.
The apparent injury occurred on a running play in which Watson was not tackled. The true freshman was helped off the field and went to the locker room.
ESPN reported that Watson was in discomfort when trainers attended to him on the sideline. Clemson later announced that Watson would not return to the game.
Watson had not played since he broke a bone in his throwing hand in an Oct. 11 win over Louisville. Shortly after Cole Stoudt replaced Watson in the game, the senior threw a pick-six that gave the Yellow Jackets a 6-3 lead.
• RICKMAN: The ultimate TV guide to college football's Week 12
Watson has thrown for 1,176 yards with 12 touchdowns and two interceptions this season. He was rated the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2014 by Rivals.com.
Stoudt began the season as the starter after beating out Watson in a position battle but lost the job after a strong showing from Watson in a Sept. 20 loss at Florida State.
Clemson is 7-2 (6-1 ACC) and ranked 19th in the latest edition of the College Football Playoff rankings.

**support c-style directives in python**
* using an intentionally limited subset of the c directives, and then some...
**can run post-processed code on-the-fly**
* pre-process and run code all in one shot
* accurately preserves error tracebacks for the source file
**can output to a file**
* as easily as setting a flag
* with a user specified filename if defined
**can strip all pre-processor data from the output**
* as easily as setting a flag
* removes all preprocessor directives
* removes all preprocessor specific code
**#defines can be set in code prior to processing**

* or it can pre-process and run code transparently the same way as c-style languages do
* the source footprint for the pypreprocessor code is very small
* the preprocessor is designed to be as simple and lightweight as possible
The syntax for pypreprocessor uses a select subset of the stanard c-style preprocessor directives, and then some...

* define non-value constants used by the preprocessor
#define constant
* remove a non-value constant from the list of defined constants
#undef constant
* makes the subsequent block of code available if the specified constant is set
#ifdef constant
* makes the subsequent block of code available if all of the preceding #ifdef statements return false
* required to close out an #ifdef/#else block
* exclude a the subsequent block of code (conditionals not included). I know it doesn't fit into the standard set of c-style directives but it's too handy to exclude (no pun).
* required to close out an #exclude block
The following options need to be set prior to pypreprocessor.parse()
add defines to the preprocessor programmatically, this allows the source file to have some decision logic to decide which 'defines' need to be set
pypreprocessor.input = 'inputFile.py'
required if you are preprocessing a module that is going to be imported. you can also use it to process external files.
pypreprocessor.output = 'outputFile.py'
set this to write the post-processed output to a file, no on-the-fly execution needed
pypreprocessor.removeMeta = True
set this to remove the metadata from the output, useful if you're generating a 'clean' version of the source
**Include support for debug-specific information**
It is often useful to provide statements within code specific to debugging, such as, print statements used to verify correct outputs. But, removing those debug statements can be painful and introduce new bugs while migrating to the production version.
Why not leave them...
By setting a "#define debug" at the top of the module and wrapping all of the debug statements in "#ifdef debug" blocks; disabling that code during production is as easy as adding another hash mark before the "#define debug" statement.
For a working example see:
* [/examples/debug.py](https://github.com/evanplaice/pypreprocessor/blob/master/Examples/debug.py)
**Python2 -> Python3 code conversion**
Producing code that can be run in both Python 2 and Python 3 is as easy as...
1. check the version of the python interpreter in use
2. set a #define in the preprocessor indicating the version
3. add #ifdef directives on the code that is version specific
For a working example see:
* [/examples/py2and3.py](https://github.com/evanplaice/pypreprocessor/blob/master/Examples/py2and3.py)
**Writing code from Debug -> Production in the same file**
Ever wanted to run a file with debug-specific code during development but output a clean version specific source file for release? Here's how...
1. make a source file that takes the arguments 'debug' and 'production'
2. put the debug code in "#ifdef debug" blocks
3. then run 'filename.py debug' during development
4. or 'filename.py production' to output a version without any of the pypreprocessor metadata
For a working example see:
* [/examples/debug2production.py](https://github.com/evanplaice/pypreprocessor/blob/master/Examples/debug2production.py)
Note: This file also contains a 'postprocessed' mode that shows what pypreprocessor actually outputs. It's so simple it'll probably make you ::facepalm:: ;)

Ronaldo says sorry for seeing red
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo apologised to his team-mates and said he hopes to learn from his mistakes after being sent off for two needless bookings against Almeria on Saturday night.
• La Liga: Ronaldo sent off in Real Madrid win
Ronaldo, starting his first home match in more than two months having recovered from his ankle injury, was at the centre of a hugely eventful match that Madrid eventually won 4-2.
Not only did Ronaldo set up Madrid's first goal, he also scored their last, controversially won and then missed a penalty, before picking up two yellow cards in the final four minutes.
The first was for removing his shirt in celebration of his goal and then, soon after, he was shown a second yellow card for kicking Juanma Ortiz following a tussle by the touchline.
That red card means the Portugal international is now set to be suspended for next weekend's tough trip to fourth-placed Valencia.
Ronaldo was quoted as saying after the match by AS: "Taking off my shirt was an instinctive reaction. I know that I made a mistake but I'm human. I didn't want to do it.
"These are things that happen in football and I hope to learn from them. I've apologised to my team-mates.
"I'm sad that I won't be able to face (Valencia defender) Miguel, my team-mate with Portugal."
Regarding the incident involving Ortiz, Ronaldo added: "I won't lie, I hit him. I said sorry to him."
The world's most expensive player also spoke about his lack of celebration for Karim Benzema's crucial goal in the 83rd-minute, a strike that helped Madrid establish a 3-2 lead.
Benzema crashed the ball home after Ronaldo had seen his penalty saved by Almeria goalkeeper Diego Alves, who will have felt justice was done after conceding what was a debatable spot-kick.
The Brazilian looked to have got a hand on the ball as Ronaldo attempted to round him before the £80million man went crashing to the ground, but the referee ignored the Almeria team's protests and awarded the penalty.
Explaining why he did not join his team-mates in congratulating Benzema, Ronaldo said: "I was angry. I missed the penalty. I don't like to lose and I don't like to miss.
"My reaction is always going to be like that. I'm a professional but neither will I give up and I felt happy for Karim's goal and for mine."

Apple's iPhone (s aapl) production is ramping up to levels that suggest it's "increasingly becoming carrier-agnostic" and could mean we'll see a Verizon iPhone sooner than previously expected, Rodman & Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar alleges in a note to clients today. Up to 12 million iPhones are already in the supply chain for the September quarter — a huge amount considering Apple has sold some 50 million of the devices worldwide since June of 2007. Kumar believes that if such production trends continue, Apple will move 40 million iPhones this year. He further believes that if Apple inks a deal with Verizon Wireless (s vz) by the end of 2010 — which may be the last year of iPhone exclusivity with AT&T (s t) in the U.S. — pent-up demand for a Verizon iPhone could drive quarterly sales to 17 million.
Although Kumar is throwing around what sound like large numbers and what-if scenarios, his numbers may actually be in line when you look at several other key bits of information:
- Apple sold 8.75 million iPhones in the first three months of 2010. That's a yearly run-rate of 35 million handsets, not far below the 40 million Kumar expects.
- Love it or hate it, Apple sold more than a million iPads in the first 28 days after launch, there are reports that 200,000 are being sold each week and in many retail locations, there aren't any currently left. The halo effect of a successful iPad could help iPhone sales.
- Recent documentation confirms AT&T's exclusive relationship to carry the U.S. iPhone until 2012, but Kumar sniffed out other supply chain details earlier this year that signal a potential change to that deal. In January, Kumar reported that Qualcomm (s qcom) had been tapped by Apple to supply CDMA radio chips — there's no iPad model with CDMA support, so the only other reasonable explanation is a CDMA iPhone.
- Apple surely knows that there's pent-up demand for its phone the largest carrier network in the U.S. — in a recent survey, more than 50 percent of cellular customers said they'd be "somewhat likely" or "very likely" to purchase an iPhone on Verizon's network.
Given that Google (s goog) claims the activation of some 100,000 Android devices per day, the game is clearly on between it and Apple. In 18 short months, Android has proven itself to be a force against Apple's mighty iPhone and is catching up in terms of market share. And according to a recent AdMob report, much of the Android army is based in North America, so Apple could use another iPhone brigade in the form of Verizon.
And the fact that AT&T recently jacked up the price of its early termination fee to $325, effective next week, is just further evidence that AT&T expects to soon be losing its cash cow. Perhaps the big news at Apple's WWDC event next week isn't what we already know — there's a new iPhone coming soon — but instead is what many hope for: at long last, a Verizon iPhone.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Portland, OR, United States, 2013/03/20 - Urban environments are not suitable for propeller-type wind generators. Solardyne.com has developed an Urban Wind technology that is safe for wildlife, and silent running - Solardyne.com.
Inventor Toby Kinkaid, founder of Solardyne.com has developed the patented Urban Wind Turbine for City-based Wind power. Silent running, safe for wildlife, and aesthetic the Helyx technology is specifically designed to be used in high population areas close to people. Propellers are an out of date technology, theyre noisy, and unsafe for birds and bats. Urban Wind technology elegantly designed is a natural solution putting real wind technology into peoples everyday life, says Kinkaid.
Wind farms used around the world are almost all based on old-style Propeller technology noisy, and unsafe for wildlife. Urban Wind technology uses advanced materials and design to capture wind from any direction, being fully visible to birds and wildlife, producing electricity used by home owners. Wind is a goldmine for energy consumers. At 12 cents/kWh of energy, one strong wind storm passing through a city is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Kinkaid continues. Properly harvested - safely, and silently, everyone with an electric bill can tap in - Urban Wind power is the next big wave for smart-grids, wind energy captured in cities is untapped.
Solardyne.com is developing the Urban Wind technology to power Street lighting systems, Water pumping, and Home power systems for Net-Metering. Urban Wind as a market is going to explode as home owners realize how much electricity is flowing past their roofs, and how much they can actually harvest safely says Kinkaid. Wind farms are placed far away from cities because they use propellers. Urban Wind is technology that can actually be outside your window, generating power - and youll sleep like a baby.

Fraternity-like messing. Male-bonding scrums. And thicker-than-power-lifter legs…
How many reasons do you need to get yer jock-sniffing butts out to a pitch? ("Pitch" means "playing field" in rugby speak).
This weekend, Big D becomes gay rugby central. On Saturday, local gay team Dallas Diablos host three "sister" teams in the Dallas Invitational Pride Cup. The Pride Cup is the Diablos' first tournament that will lure teams from other states.
New York's Gotham Knights, the North Carolina Kodiaks and the Atlanta Bucks will be making their way to Big D. There's a welcome party on Friday at The Round-Up Saloon. Matches begin Saturday morning. And the "third half" (rugby speak for "rowdy party") takes place, post-match on Saturday at Woody's Sports and Video Bar.
Next month, the Diablos are headed to Seattle to play in the Magnitude 15 Tournament.

Federal Way man shot to death
Published 6:34 am, Thursday, May 8, 2014
A Wednesday night shooting left one man dead in Federal Way, and police are still searching for the shooter.
Officers were called to the Silver Shadow Apartments at 9:30 p.m. after getting calls about a shooting. When they arrived at the complex, in the 27600 block of Pacific Highway South, they found a man dead in the parking lot.
Police say the man, who was in his 20s, died of a single gunshot wound.
Neighbor Teleda Holmes heard the shooting.
"It sounded like a firecracker, but now we know it was a gunshot," she said. "And now this man is dead right here in our parking lot."
Witnesses reported seeing a group of men running from the scene, but police have not made any arrests. Detectives are investigating.

The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has released a new 13-page guide to public electronic communication service providers to help explain when such companies are obligated to report personal data breaches, Out-Law.com reports. Telecoms would be required to submit monthly reports to the ICO laying out all the security breaches sustained. This ICO did say such reports could be disclosed under Freedom of Information Act requirements. "Strictly speaking, PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) does not require this monthly return," the ICO said. "However, we believe that this remains a useful exercise as it will demonstrate that service providers are monitoring their security properly and taking their responsibilities seriously. If we do not receive a monthly return from a service provider, this may trigger further investigation."

Thanks for your question and good evening.
There is no way to know for sure but honestly to me if they were investigating you they would have contacted you at some point.
You can certainly dispute all of this in court and present your side of all of this.It sounds like an angry investor to me and nothing more.
That is what I figured. My wife was afraid the Black Tahoe was going to show up at the front door with an arrest warrant, whereas I figured they would call and schedule an appointment to discuss first.
They would certainly do some investigating including offering you a chance ot discuss it with them.I really think this is jsut posturing.I mean how woudl the other side really know either.
Thank you.
Sometimes these guys are just rattling the cage as you say.

You're out there, AFC West fans. We see you. We hear you, too – boastfully waxing about how your team plays in the toughest division football doesn't go unnoticed. Lucky for us there's one man who knows how you ALL feel simultaneously, because he's a bigger fan than you. And he wants to take us on a trip through the AFC West, handing out report cards along the way.
Chiefs: A
You're lost at sea. The GPS on your iPhone says mainland is a few miles back yonder, but you know that hasn't been true since floating past an "International Waters" buoy several days prior. The air is rife with desolation, and another sunset – beautiful as they may be in the middle of nowhere – offers no more sustenance than the bottle of half empty daiquiri mix rattling around the stern. Should you funnell it? You should funnell it.
But what's that up ahead? Another boat? Ahoy, it's another boat! Did they see you fire off that flare last night? Probably not, since in your rum-and-starvation induced haze you only managed to hit a pelican perched on the mast, the poor bastard now relegated to spending his eternal days in Davy Jones' Locker. No, nobody saw that. You hope.
Maybe they heard the Jimmy Buffet blaring from below deck? Eh, doubtful. Several thousand dollars worth of stereo equipment only functions when the generator you use to power it isn't now property of a gang of pretty feisty Somalis. No, couldn't have been that either. But here they come anyway, a beacon of light in the darkness, angels sent from high to save your lost and wary soul. To nurse you back to health. To show you how to live again.
You hop on board. The captain is a jolly fella, someone you maybe recognize from a previous life, and his first-mate is navigating the vessel with pinpoint accuracy. You believe again. Hope starts to fill the void mother ocean created. Tonight, when the sun goes down, you'll be back on top.
Because you're the world's biggest Chiefs fan, dammit. That's the good stuff.
Broncos: A-
Selling out. That's your move, sure, and you've been chided for it in the past, but those decries have become louder and more volatile as of late. So what? Who are they to tell you how to run your show? You're also selling out stadiums across the country, backed by up-and-coming talent, flanked by an endless supply of the Rocky Mountain's finest, and hell yeah there's a keg of it in the closet. You demanded it in the rider. Not your first rodeo.
It's good to be you. Remember when management wanted you to go gospel, so you fired the whole damn lot of 'em? You signed on with the legend. You're not looking back. Was it the right move? Time will tell, but early numbers are promising. Is there an upstart young buck threatening your dominance? Yeah, but things change in this industry. You know better than anyone that success can be fleeting, but you also know full well that when you finally meet face-to-face, the talent will rise the top.
Because you're the world's biggest Broncos fan, dammit. If you mess with one man, you got us all. We're the boys of fall.
Raiders: C-
Where are we? What the hell is this place? Is this where they tested the A-Bomb? A burnt down prison? The set of Escape from New York? Can't be Oakland, right? RIGHT!?!?
[Realize you're talking to a snake eating chicken wire]
The pilgrimage wasn't what you'd expected. Always did look a little off-kilter on TV, but you've watched a thousand games and never pictured it quite like this. Empty. Destitute. Carcinogenic. But here you are, an hour from kickoff, malt liquor in hand, face painted black, pirate flag waiving high atop the million dollar coach you're suddenly regretting bringing, ready to attend your first Raiders game.
Suddenly, in the distance, you see them. Thousands of them. Flocking to the O.co, on their motorcycles and in buses, ready for war. All of them your brethren, by choice or by gang affiliation, united by a common bond of being members of the Nation. This was what you came for. To fight and hope a football game breaks out. You strap on your helmet, ready for battle.
Because you're the world's biggest Raiders fan, dammit. No shoes, no shirt, no problem.
San Diego: D
Now this. THIS is what you call a city. Bountiful beaches, perfect weather, guitars, tiki bars, and hell, you're just a stone's throw from having a beer in Mexico. (It's TJ, sure, but sometimes you just need to throw caution to the wind, you know?)
We've got a football team here, too. But you won't watch. Can't. Not when it hurts this much. They've fooled you once, and that was all their fault. The second time? Well, maybe you're to blame. There won't be a third time, you swear…but, OK, they're 4-3, and maybe this is finally the year that good ol' boy from nurthern' Alabama will lead us to the promised land? Has to be, right?
But you believe anyway.
Because you're the world's biggest Chargers fan, dammit. Marmalard and tequila makes you crazy.

This video shows terrorists from the "Free Syrian Army" (FSA) going into a prison in the town of Harem, Syria, to release captives of the Syrian government. The footage shows that quick assessment of whether a prisoner is actually "guilty" of a crime or not is done by the so-called rebels by simply asking each prisoner about their crime. All prisoners ended up being released and joined the FSA to help them with their crimes against the Syrian population and government.
This is just an example of several other instances where hardline Islamists were recruited directly from prisons that were overtaken by the militants. This trend also explains the increased level of kidnappings, thefts, murders, beheadings, mutilations, and explosions that plague Syria.

GOLD Cup-winning jockey Sam Waley-Cohen and London 2012 eventing silver medallist Zara Phillips leant some star quality to the opening of the Cocklebarrow point-to-point near Aldsworth on Sunday.
Despite foul weather, the estimated 6,000 crowd were well entertained at the Savills-sponsored Heythrop Hunt card, not least in the feature race.
The Lord Ashton of Hyde's Cup was contested over the marathon distance of 3m6f and yet the winner Rumbavu and runner-up King Fontaine were separated by just a neck at the line after a thrilling race.
Rumbavu, the mount of Waley-Cohen who triumphed in the Cheltenham Gold Cup aboard Long Run in 2011, was providing his famous orange and brown silks with their second win in this prestigious race. Irilut, also owned and trained by Sam's father Robert, won it in 2008.
Zara was not so lucky as the most fancied of the three runners she trained on the card, Devils Boys, fell heavily when leading the Restricted race with four to jump, also bringing down principal rival Rye Cross.
How the heavily-pregnant Zara would have coped with the excitement of a close finish we will never know.
Cocklebarrow's debut proved a professional and personal success for Nick Phillips, clerk of the course and racetrack designer on land his late father John used to farm.
Nick rode the winner of the 2m4f maiden on Cousin Pete, home-bred by his father and named after his Ablington-based cousin Peter Mason, another pillar of the local point-to-pointing community.
"I knew Cousin Pete had ability but I thought his lack of experience might count against him," said Phillips.
Of the meeting as a whole, he said: "It all came together and there no real dramas.
"We could not do anything about the weather but I was delighted with the crowd and there was a brilliant atmosphere. The trade stands did great business in hats and wellies and the KidsZone was a real plus as parents could entertain their children in the warm.
"We are already looking forward to next year."

RAWALPINDI, Sept 16: The activists of Sunni Tehrik (ST) and Anjuman Taliba Islam (ATI) on Sunday staged separate protest demonstrations outside Rawalpindi-Islamabad Press Club (RIPC) against anti-Islam film in the US.
The charged protestors torched effigies of US President Barrack Obama, film producer Sam Basail and American flags.
While holding placards and banners mentioned with anti-US and anti-government words, they also bellowed slogans against the US and the government.
They asked the government to expel US diplomats, including the Ambassador from the country as a protest.
The first protest demonstration was held by ST Rawalpindi chapter on the call of ST Pakistan Head, Muhammad Sarwat Ejaz.
Led by Mufti Liaquat Ali Rizvi, Alam Tahir Iqbal Chishti, Sahibzada Attaur Rehman Dhanial and Allama Wasim Abbasi, the protest demo was attended by scores of other activists.
Addressing the participants, the speakers denounced the production of anti-Islam film saying it hurt sentiments of Muslim Ummah across the globe.
They said that US and West committed a heinous crime by making this movie and the Muslim world should get united to tackle it. They endorsed what protestors in Libya, Egypt and Yemen and other Arab countries are saying: "No Muslim can tolerate blasphemy."
The protestors in a resolution demanded that US diplomats should be kicked out from Muslim countries, including Pakistan, while UN and OIC should also take notice of the devilish act.
A large number of members of ATI, under the leadership of Rawalpindi Cantonment Nazim, Shaheer Sialvi and Nazim Faizabad, Sohaib Sialvi, also registered their protest outside RIPC by torching effigies of US President and the film producer and US flag.They were carrying placards and banners bristling with anti-US words and chanting slogans against the US President and film maker.
The speakers demanded of the government to ban the film in the country and severe its ties with US and other Western countries.
Meanwhile, Markazi Anjuman-e-Tajraan Bohar Bazaar will take out a protest rally from Bohar Bazaar to Committee Chowk today (Monday) at 3pm to protest the production of blasphemous movie in USA.
The rally will be led by Tehrik-e-Islam head, Allama Muhammad Haider Alvi and other trader representatives.

A ROYAL Navy veteran had to wait nearly 70 years to be recognised by Britain for his service on the Russian Convoys - but then his Arctic Star medal arrived unceremoniously through the post.
Bob Glover enlisted in the Royal Navy in 1943, aged 18, serving aboard HMS Diadem as a supply assistant on 10 convoys ferrying vital supplies to the former Soviet Union - breaking off to take part in the D-Day landings.
But though 88-year-old Mr Glover received recognition from the Kremlin in 1987 it took until Thursday, April 18, for his medal from the Ministry of Defence to arrive at his home in New Lane Hill, Tilehurst.
Mr Glover said: "It makes me wonder what took them so long? It is nice for the dependants to get one if they have lost their husbands or fathers. It seems like a bit of a waste of money to me, although it may have been different 70 years ago. But at least they sent it by recorded delivery."
Last December a consultation set up by Prime Minister David Cameron agreed to decorate the veterans who shipped food and munitions to Russia during the last two years of the war.
Mr Glover joked that when he first embarked on the Bellona-class AA Cruiser his nickname was eight-meals-a-day. He said: "They would call me four-down, four-up, because I was so seasick, it was unbelievable."
But through his 10 voyages from Scapa Flow near the Orkneys to Murmansk on the Kola Peninsula in northern Russia, he found his sea legs and no small amount of danger.
He said: "Even Churchill reckoned the Russian convoy was the worst and most dangerous job in the war. I think everyone was scared when you were called to action stations. I was down in munitions, sending up shells to the turrets and hoping that we wouldn't get hit."
His convoy only lost one ship in 10 voyages, despite having to make a 24-hour dash down from the Arctic to Portsmouth to support the troops on D-Day.
Mr Glover, who lives with his wife of 65 years Vera, 90, was nominated for the Arctic Star by his 62-year-old son, David, an accountant from Burghfield.

text: Tomblin touts coal mining, gas drilling By Ken Ward Jr. January 12, 2011 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin promised Wednesday night to continue to fight to protect the coal industry and urged state residents to embrace increased natural gas drilling as part of a broader energy production agenda.But Tomblin did not take advantage of his State of the State address to promote his own Department of Environmental Protection's proposal for wholesale changes in the way drilling is regulated. And the acting governor vowed he would "aggressively pursue" a lawsuit to block Obama administration plans to limit mountaintop removal mining.Tomblin's speech drew strong support from lobbyists for the coal and gas industries, but left environmentalists concerned about the direction he'll take West Virginia."I think it's terribly short-sighted not to also mention the serious problems that are developing with some of this mining and some of this drilling," said Cindy Rank of the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy.On coal issues, Tomblin briefly mentioned the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster and the previous tragedies at the Sago and Aracoma mines. But Tomblin indicated no plans to take up legislative proposals -- including one to make corporate officials more accountable for safety performance -- that former Gov. Joe Manchin also deferred action on until after the Upper Big Branch probe concludes."When we determine the cause that contributed to that accident, we will do all that is necessary to make sure it never happens again," the acting governor said.Tomblin said that the Obama administration "seems focused on bringing a crushing halt to one of the cheapest, most reliable forms of energy we have ever known.""He talked about the coal industry and did it absolutely in spades," said Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association. Tomblin also promoted efforts by American Electric Power to develop greenhouse gas emissions control equipment in the state, but -- in an apparent criticism of federal cap-and-trade legislation -- said if the goal is reducing carbon dioxide emissions "then we should take a more sensible approach to achieving that end."DEP Secretary Randy Huffman said that it was "very progressive" for the acting governor to "talk as openly and bluntly about the greenhouse gases and the carbon issues that the country faces."But Don Garvin, lead lobbyist for the West Virginia Environmental Council, said that most experts believe the federal climate change bill that state political leaders generally condemned would have helped the coal industry and utilities develop and deploy carbon capture equipment."[Tomblin] ought to be on board with federal legislation to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to provide funding for research to further develop the process," Garvin said.On gas drilling, Tomblin said that new drilling technology and the Marcellus shale formation combine to create an opportunity not only for direct jobs, but for spin-off development of processing plants like the one that Dominion Energy announced Wednesday it will build near the PPG Industries chemical plant in Marshall County."We are just now beginning to know what this potential is, and I think the governor's people now understand what this potential is," said Corky DeMarco, lobbyist for the state Oil and Natural Gas Association.Huffman said he was not disappointed that the governor did not promote DEP's proposal for new regulations and a doubling of his agency's oil and gas office staff. Tomblin supports the measure, Huffman said, but simply wanted it to be introduced as a DEP bill rather than part of the governor's legislative agenda. But Rank said she was amazed that the acting governor didn't urge lawmakers to pass some sort of package for new drilling regulations."He never even mentioned it," Rank said. "That's a slight of what I would consider good efforts by DEP to address the problems that we all know exist." Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

I don't find his ranting entertaining.
He actually makes a lot of very valid points, but they get lost because no one bothers to listen to him.
This ranting is getting as old as his daughter's whining.

NEW YORK (Oct. 11)
Dr. Mordechai Hacohen, a founder and vice president of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy, has resigned from his post and cancelled his membership with the conservative foreign policy association, apparently a result of the recent dispute within the group over the presentation of an award to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on Simchat Torah.
Declaring that the 10-year-old association has been "reduced to a social club" and that it "has lost its reason to exist," Hacohen wrote in a letter to the executive committee of the organization, dated October 9, that there was a "callous disregard for the religious sensitivities of some of the officers, members and friends" of the organization when the awards dinner was scheduled.
He accused the association of having "abrasively ignored" his pleas to have the dinner, which presented Kissinger with the Hans Morgenthau Memorial Award, rescheduled. Hacohen said the dispute over the awards dinner resulted in the circulation of a "fraudulent memorandum" last month addressed to the executive committee, allegedly saying that the committee had accepted his "resignation." He said he never submitted his resignation until now.
In his October 9 letter, Hacohen also took "the opportunity to pay tribute to Ambassador Sol Linowitz, the writer Elie Wiesel, executive board member Professor Howard Adelson and Ambassador Ira Hirschman and other members and friends who affirmed their Jewish faith, pride and self-respect by not attending the dinner on Simchat Torah.
"At the same time, I deeply regret, despite my pleas and those of others, Dr. Kissinger accepted the Hans Morgenthau Award on that day, thereby endorsing the discrimination by the organizers against observant Jewish officers, members and friends of the committee.
"Though it is not a sectarian organization, the National Committee on American Foreign Policy was founded by citizens of the Jewish faith and has in the past been sensitive to the dictates of the conscience of its members.
"All these developments have led me to the conclusion under the circumstances I do not wish to continue my association with the organization and herewith cancel my membership … effective today, Sunday, October 9."
