"I am on my second bundle of the Robusto (5.0" x 50) and am compelled to throw my 2 cents in. I enjoy these with coffee in the morning. I don't analyze the flavor of my cigars; I just turn to CI to see their description to find out why I liked it. With that said, apparently the notes of nutmeg and roasted nuts are why I find this cigar so enjoyable with my coffee. It is a mild cigar but does give a good dose of smoke and flavor in a single draw; especially mid way through. The quality can be a hit and miss. I have found canoeing to be an issue, especially off the truck. Resting them naked for 2-3 weeks in the humidor seems to alleviate the issue. If you store with the cello, rest it longer. I also had a few with tight draw but not bad enough for me to throw out the cigar. Sometimes it loosens up half way through. I like full bodied cigars so I usually don't smoke these after my morning coffee but if anyone is looking for a nice breakfast cigar or those who prefer mild cigars, I would recommend these. "
"no brainer on the price. decent med cigar that went well with my French roast in the am. I will order more at the discounted price!"
"I was pleasantly surprised. It is a mild smoke but with a nice flavor. If you're in the mood for a mild smoke on a Sunday afternoon you might enjoy this one. A nice light smoke but with distinction. Try them, I'm glad I did. You can't go wrong with a Cameroon wrapper & C.I."
"Hands down the best $1.13 cigar available! My 2nd bundle of these spicy medium bodied treats is the Rothschild. It's 4.5" X 50 frame is firmly packed with aged Cuban seed long fillers from The Dominican & draped with a golden brown Cameroon leaf that ups the ante with tons of flavor. It is a cross between a La Perla Cameroon & a Punch EMS Rothschild. More complex than most bundle or budget line blends, Don Lino Colorado is simply made too well, tastes too good & costs too little to be anything but another CI "No-Brainer"."
"Working on my 2nd bundle of Don Lino Colorado. I went through 20 of the Robustos this Summer & when they went on clearance I knew what a bargain they would be. So I got a bundle of the Rothschild size, just to see if they might be any different. But they seem identical, except for the 1/2" in length. Anyway, they are a toasty mild, yet quite flavorful & spicy treat. At a buck & change, it's hard to go wrong. Construction is good, burn is straight & true. A firm white ash clings to the cigar, as it emits clouds of luxurious smoke. It is now & will continue to be a part of my regular rotation. Early morning coffee or the last puro of the day, Colorado is a great buy on a mild but interesting blend."
"I have been smoking the Don Lino San Andres which I enjoy a lot. I bought a bundle of the Colorado for something different and have not been disappointed. Good smoke and a clean flavor. Will buy again."
"I like the Don Lino line-up. Colorados are the best, IMHO. The San Andreas habano are decent as well. Both are on my buy-again list. The San Andreas maduro- not so much, too rustic to enjoy; again IMO..."
"A good little cigar. I like it!"
"I think my 1st Don Lino cigar is the Colorado robusto. I wanted to cash in on the big gordo figurdo deal I saw, but the thing is on backorder, so I picked up a bundle of these. After a week in my humidor, I fired one up to find that it is a mild, toasty blend. Tastes of earth, with a tobacco core that is easy to inhale. Scads of smoke & a perfect draw are not what I normally expect from a stick costing so little. This handsome cuss will make a perfect knock around/gardening vitola. An everyday mild bodied smoke at machine roll or sandwich style prices, is typical when ordering from CI. I took a flyer on this one and came out smelling like a rose. You guys rock!"
"A nice little spicy cigar. Can't beat it for the price."
"Love Don Lino cigars but these won't be on the future buy list. Too harsh for me."

The Dream

Night Secrets
Nothing But Velvet

Kassandra "Kitt" Wentworth is like many Regency heroines: feisty, feeling the limits placed on a woman and vowing never to marry. Her vow stems from rape by a young nobleman when she was just sixteen. This rape was unreported due to threats made by the young man and Kitt's fear that her father would force her to marry the fiend. She lived with the certainty that she can never be a normal wife.
Clay Harcourt is like many Regency heroes: a womanizer, an unacknowledged bastard and a quietly intelligent businessman. He has a good relationship in private with his father. However, he is the result of a long-term liaison with a mistress, therefore he is not publicly acknowledged, but is publicly accepted by the ton. Clay is strong and sure of himself on the outside, while hiding some vulnerability due to his upbringing.
Kitt is on the immature side, seeking to get her way and getting herself into outrageous situations. When first we meet her, she is involved in a high stakes card game at a soiree. Her next endeavor is to dress as a boy, climb out her window and run away to a friend's estate in order to escape her father's punishment of being locked in her room for the gambling escapade.
Clay encounters the young lady and the chase is on. Clay is attracted to Kitt's energy, her love of life and the passion he sees in her eyes. She has a zest for living that she brings to life with her sketchpad, a skill few appreciate, but one Clay actually encourages. When he realizes he wants her for his wife, he tricks Kitt into a compromising situation. She shares with him her fears of the marriage bed, and he is gallant, as only a hero should be. They marry and he woos her, treating her with gentleness as she overcomes the memories and learns the pleasures he can bring her.
In the course of things, Clay discovers the identity of the scoundrel who raped her. He engineers a duel for some other slight. It is during this scene that both Clay and Kitt realize their love. The story up to this point is well written, engaging and truly heartwarming.
But with the book only halfway complete, Martin sinks to the lure of the "Big Misunderstanding". Actually, it is less of a misunderstanding and more of a stupid action on the part of a selfish heroine… she leaves Clay because she fears he will eventually tire of her and turn to another woman. She knows she cannot stand that to happen. When she comes to her senses, she must work to bring Clay back to her.
It is only Martin's writing skill that brings me back into a story I was giving up on. Danger from unknown sources supplies both suspense and a reason for Clay and Kitt to rediscover their need for each other. Clay is such a good hero, that I find myself hoping he gets the happiness he deserves. And Kitt does finally grow up, adding maturity to her other enjoyable attributes.
This is apparently the second of three stories about friends. The characters Ariel and Justin return from Heartless and there is a hint of a story for Clay's friend Adam. All three bring some depth to the tale; helping to ensure the reader understands the history and providing sound advice to both Clay and Kitt. Adam particularly was an intriguing character. He is at first, withdrawn, having survived a scarring injury in the war. Yet as a good friend of Clay's, he offers help and advice while working through his own angst. He plays a pivotal role in the final chapters to ensure a happy ending for all.
The romance of Clay's wooing is endearing. The sensuous scenes of their lovemaking are sizzling with passion. As Kitt matures, so does her understanding of love and there is definitely fire in their relationship!
Aside from those 40 pages, I recommend this story and can only lament that Martin was not able to make it top-notch all the way.

The latest innovation from Stoeger Airguns is the X20 Suppressor, which utilizes the Dual-Stage Noise Reduction System™. This system combines the functions of an internal air-regulator ring and baffles that work in tandem to reduce noise better than any other airgun on the market. Unlike other airgun manufacturers that utilize only sound dampening baffles, Stoeger's X20 Suppressor utilizes the Dual-Stage Noise Reduction System™. By combining the functions of an internal air-regulator ring and baffles that work in tandem, noise is reduced better that any other airgun on the market. The air-regulator ring has four decompression holes that bleed off most of the compressed air before the pellet even enters the baffles. The remaining compressed air dissipates throughout the baffles further reducing noise.

Stoeger X-20S Suppressed .22 Caliber Air Rifle
February 13, 2013
Got my New Stoeger X20 Suppressor today in .22, WOW! Average 650fps with the Crosman .22 14.3 grains HP's, out of the Box. My 40 year old Crosman 1400 will break 600 fps with the same ammo on a warm day! :(
Pros:Nice gun, well packed, fast service, just no where near 800 fps with lead pellets. Stoeger X-20S suppressed is accurate though.
Cons:Slow, my 40 Year Old Crosman 1400 with ten pumps will almost equal it.

Not impressed
February 5, 2013
I sighted it in, or tried to at about 50'. I could hardly get 2 pellets within two inches of each other. Scope was loose when it came in but I tightened it first. Adjustments on the scope were not at all predictable or linear. Finally put a good scope on it. A 2x7 Nikon, so far I've shot 7 different pellets and around 200 rounds. Shooting from a perfect rest in a controlled environment at about 50'. I have not shot a consistent group yet. Well maybe a consistent bad group. What could be wrong? Any suggestions. My 35 year old Benjamin with open sights is more accurate.

X-20S .22 review
February 1, 2013
The look and feel of the air rifle is good and comfortable to use. Good hitting power and surprisingly good groupings out of the box. Excellent service from Airgun Depot, the shipment arrived quicker than expected.
Pros:Like the weight and the overall balance of this rifle. Power is good and the accuracy is also good. Sound suppression was good out of the box and after shooting, it began to get better.
Cons:The scope needs to be upgraded. I found it difficult to use comfortably.

Rifle is a great deal
December 25, 2012
I bought it and changed the trigger before I shot it. So I will not rate the original one. The rifle itself is awesome. It is hard hitting and a blast to shoot. The scope is OK I will be changing it, but nothing really wrong with it JMO. You can't go wrong with this one.

Great rifle for the money
December 15, 2012
The Stoeger x20 S is a great value. Quiet, accurate, and powerful in .22 cal. It has a nice tactical look and feel. It's carbine sized which reminds of my M4 that I carried in Iraq lol. I love it. It's extremely hard to beat in this price range. If you want a perfect air rifle then you need to spend more money. Buy FX! If you want something really cheap that's really good and well made buy Stoeger.
Pros:Carbine sized Nice synthetic stock Accuracy Knock down power for small game Pretty quiet for a springer
Cons:I wish the suppressed model had open sights.

good rifle bad trigger
December 13, 2012
The stoeger x20 s is a great rifle. The only reason why I gave it three stars is because of the trigger. It sucks. It is not bad, it's really really bad. Accuracy is not to be achieved with this trigger. Buy a GTR gen 2 trigger and this rifle will shoot like an expensive Europe rifle. I don't understand why many manufacturers destroy there rifle with bad triggers. Run and buy, just upgrade the trigger and you have a great airrifle there to shoot dime size groups from 30 yards. Also upgrade the scope.
Pros:The weight Ergonomic Balance
Cons:The TRIGGER. The worst trigger I have ever put my finger on.

Great rifle.
September 2, 2012
This is my first adult air rifle (after shooting Daisy growing up) and I like it. It's spring loaded and has a little kick to it, so it takes a little to get used to. It has a good weight and feel to it. The scope is nice but I upgraded to the RWS 4-12X50 to get a better look at targets at 30 yards. I can't comment on the suppressor since I have never shot a spring loaded air rifle before, so I don't know how load they are without the suppressor.
Pros:good accuracy good weight

Superb X20 .22cal
August 25, 2012
Much more than I expected for a rifle in this price range. Although, I will probably upgrade the scope, it was very easy to sight and resulted in a very accurate shot. The look and feel of the rifle are excellent. My wife finds it a little heavy and the break action slightly difficult but she loves the knock down power and accuracy of the gun. I expect that after the break-in period the break action will become easier. Currently using Gamo Rocket pellets with good results. Looking forward to trying the X50.

I got the stoeger x20 with a leapers ugt 4-16x44 ao.I can drive tacs at ten yards my son loves it! Great for outdoor fun with the family. I even get the wife to shoot and she can hit pennies at ten yards. I also have different rifles like the gamo big cat 1200 , beeman r11 mkii , and a benjamin 397/392 series, but my personal favorite would have to be this quiet beast. Love it! Thank you for your time. Be safe, have fun, and keep driving those tacs in the wall.
Pros:Like the Weight , quiet , and accurate all around great gun
Cons:Just did not like the scope it came with to small That's why I put the leapers ugt 4-16x44 ao!

X20S Review (1)
March 26, 2012
This would be my first impressions review. Nice weapon, good hitting power. lives up to the label of quiet, but not yet able to test it side by side with my Crosman Titan GP. No data on groupings yet. first few times you cock it, it will be difficult. reccomend getting Gamo Gun Buddy sling with this rifle, it comes in handy if in use with a sidearm.
Pros:Integral suppressor, .22 cal
Cons:scope that comes with weapon

Good value
December 29, 2011
This air rifle is a good value it feels solid and it is very powerful, I like the scope it comes with and it also feels solid and it is much better than what most air guns in this price range come with. The cocking takes some effort and the gun is not that quiet but this is based on my first and only test shot, others say it will quiet down as it breaks in.
Pros:Solid feel good scope
Cons:Hard cocking.

my opinion
November 30, -0001
Very nice rifle, nothing i dont like about it. Would buy it again in heart beat. Not as quiet as the stoeger ad made it seem, and no i am not using light pellets that cause it to be louder. Mine is the 22 cal version, and did smoke for a while as others have commented due to factory excessive oiling. Nothing to be afraid when considering buying it. Awesome bang for the buck and just what i was looking for.

From the department of not getting it.
by Joe Lindsey
A little over a week ago, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood addressed the National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C. and said some of the most supportive things ever about cycling. Specifically, he told the audience composed of cycling advocates that his vision called for cyclist and pedestrians to be seen as equal to cars when planning transportation.
It was a huge moment that you might've missed because advocacy is usually an eat-your-spinach kind of thing that's full of weirdo acronyms no one really understands. It's wonky, abstract and I can already hear you saying "Bor-ing!" in your best Homer Simpson voice while reading this.
But stuff like the Bike Summit is important because it puts cyclists face to face with congresspeople and other people, like LaHood, who have the power to steer billions of dollars in funding to bike paths and lanes that help you not get killed when you ride.
In all the coverage of healthcare legislation, I missed the response, but LaHood's comments didn't go over all that well in some circles.
Not a week after LaHood's speech, at a House Appropriations Subcommittee Committee to Study Forming a Committee on Committees session* Ohio representative Steven LaTourette suggested, to laughs from others present, that LaHood might've been on drugs when he made his speech.
"What job is going to be created by having a bike lane?" he grumbled.
That's kind of funny considering that on his official web site he touts his own prowess in securing federal dollars for bike paths. Perhaps Congressman Steve-O needs some drugs himself. Like memory pills. Or perhaps he's well aware of the contradiction and is just following Washington rules: it's only pork when it's in someone else's district.
Not to be outdone, Iowa's Tom Latham (ranking Republican on the committee) covered himself in Spock-like logical glory by stating that every biker is "one less person paying into the transportation trust fund."
Tom! Hey Tom! Over here in the peanut gallery!
Little lesson for you: most cyclists own cars. And so we pay the same sales taxes, registration and ownership taxes and gas taxes as any other car owner. So if we're paying all that but we're using our bikes instead, what's actually happening is we're subsidizing all the people who drive everywhere and cause wear and tear on roads and add to congestion, which are the two central reasons we need money to repair and expand roads.
Not to mention the fact that the Federal Highway Trust Fund gets revenue from a number of sources, not least the General Fund, which itself is composed of income taxes and other revenue sources. Of course you knew that, right? Or did you think that cyclists don't have jobs and we just spend all our time riding around wearing brightly colored tight-fitting clothing?
Where am I going with this? It's showtime.
LaHood went out on a limb for cyclists. He said stuff no transportation secretary's ever said, and is backing it up with action. And now he's getting hammered on it by a bunch of idiotic congressmen (fellow Republicans) who apparently don't even understand how the projects they fund get funded.
So tell 'em to back off, if you live in their respective districts:
Steven LaTourette (Ohio's 14th District, covers Cleveland, Akron and all or part of seven counties)
Tom Latham (Iowa, 4th District, mostly rural and small towns but also Ames and some Des Moines suburbs)
Not from Ohio or Iowa? Check out the rest of the committee members here (from California – 2, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Texas – 2, Ohio again, North Carolina, Arkansas, Massachussetts and Virginia) and, if you see your duly elected congresspersontype listed, tell them
A) You didn't think LaTourette's comment was funny and
B) You support bicycling, LaHood, apple pie and freedom, and why do they hate America and love terrorism?
Or something like that. Go forth. Exercise your constitutionally protected right to petition your government for redress of grievances.

Raced last year without incident, the Specialized Shiv is now the Root of All Evil.
by Joe Lindsey
Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't, but the UCI made its usual ham-fisted mockery of its own rules over the weekend when it alerted the Astana and Saxo Bank teams that their prototype Specialized Shiv time trial bikes were not allowed. Verboten. Or as Lili Von Schtupp might say, Fertig! Verfallen! Verlumpt! Verblunget! Verkackt!
At issue, apparently, is the measurement of the head tube area and whether it fits within the UCI's exceedingly vague technical rules. The Shiv was introduced in 2009 when World TT Champion Fabian Cancellara rode one at the Tour of Romandie, and it was raced by a number of Quick Step and Saxo Bank riders the rest of the season, without incident.
But prior to Sunday's time trial at the Volta ao Algarve, UCI officials warned the Astana team (Specialized ended its agreement with Quick Step and picked up Astana) that the bike wasn't legal. Not only that, but even the older Transition wasn't totally legal, as two fins on the downtube had to be literally sawed off to comply. The Transition has been raced in UCI competition for about three years, again, without incident.
No one knows exactly what the UCI's rules are. Not even the UCI can say for sure, since it changes. But to be safe, I'd recommend bikemakers revert to designs like this:
If, however, you're interested in entering a time trial on a Bowden Spacelander, I think you're in for a rude surprise when you get to der Kommisar and der protractor in der start house.
I'm in the process of gathering comments for a more serious look at the issue later this week, but for now, it's contest time. The UCI has a mission statement but I can't find any slogan.
Every self-important governing body needs a slogan. After this past weekend, it appears to be "Boldly leading cycling into the 19th century."

College Highlights
One Acre at a Time: Seminar covers value found in woodlands
Organized by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service and the UK College of Agriculture's Department of Forestry, One Acre at a Time will take place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. EDT, March 27 in the John W. Black Community Center, 1551 North Highway 393 in LaGrange. Whether they reside on their woodlands or are absentee owners, participants will come away from the seminar with clear directions on how to reap the benefits from their property.
"Kentucky's woodlands produce some of the world's most valuable hardwood trees, and they are a renewable product. Any land that has trees growing on it can continue to produce after a managed harvesting operation," said Billy Thomas, UK extension forester. "Properly managed woodlands can provide numerous benefits for woodland owners."
Registration will begin at 6 p.m. There will be food and exhibits at that time, with the program starting at 6:30 p.m. Seminar topics include:
- Got Woodlands? Now What?
- Wildlife Management Options
- Signs of Woodland Health Issues
- Working with Your Wildlife Biologist
- Working with Your Forester
- Timber Sales and Consulting Foresters
Registration is $5. Preregistration, which is encouraged, can be made in advance at any of the hosting county extension offices: Oldham, Bullitt, Henry, Jefferson, Shelby, Spencer and Trimble. Participants also can register at the door the day of the event. Questions may be directed to the Oldham County Extension office, 502-222-9453 or UK Forestry Extension at 859-257-7597.
Co-sponsors of the seminar include Kentucky Division of Forestry, Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Kentucky Chapter of the Association of Consulting Foresters, Kentucky Woodland Owners Association and American Tree Farm System.

The atmosphere at CCS is one of mutual support and love. The learning advantage (learning center) does amazing things with kids who have learning difficulties. The staff brings the love God with them into the classroom for our kids each day. The staff has had clear expectations for our kids, learning and help them achieve their personal goals. The small class size, means my daughter knows her teacher well, and the teacher takes time with her daily. It is a school for parents who want their children to thrive, love God, have friends, and not become stress balls.
This school has great offerings. The teachers genuinely care for their students, and take time with them. The Christ centered outlook is refreshing, especially during these more turbulent times. Children learn phonics earlier here, and they approach reading in preschool with those who are ready. - This is very different from some other local schools, who seem to restrict the growth of their students. The elementary school staff is friendly, and they greet my children daily with a smile. Middle school and high school offerings are strong, and the program has seen leaps of improvement, offering some challenging advanced classes.
Its a wonderful place and the staff is great!
My son is 5 and is just beginning his school career. My husband and I are very impressed with the level of education that we are seeing not only from our own child, but from children in upper grades as well. The commitment of the teachers @ CCS is unparalleled. I don't have a doubt that they really do care about their students. The atmosphere @ the school is one of Family and community. The class sized are small enough that the teachers are afforded the opportunity to focus on all students. Not just the above and below average ones. We plan on having a long term relationship with the school since we have a 3 year old enrolled in 'His Kids' the preschool part of Carolina Christina School.
I just graduated from here and I would not trade it for the world! I loved every second of it! The teachers were like my parents and they all cared greatly about my academic success. I hope it is still around when I have children so they can attend CCS as well.
very unorganized. We tried it for one year and was very disappointed with the training, guidance, dress code enforcements, and teacher feedback.

Windows Live Writer Portable Version 3
It has been over a year since I posted version 2 of a portable launcher for Windows Live Writer. In that time, WLW has moved out of beta and is now a big part of Microsoft's Live initiative.
One of the biggest complaints about my portable launcher is that it required you to have Administrator level access on the machine you were running it on. For the most part this isn't an issue on Windows XP but is big on Windows Vista because of User Account Control (UAC). In shared, locked down computer environments like colleges, this is a big problem and essentially renders the launcher useless. I have finally figured out how to fix that problem and am happy to announce version 3 of Windows Live Writer Portable. This version does not currently support U3. Truth is, I've never really liked U3 taking over my thumb drive. I use the excellent Portable Apps Menu instead. You can put it on anything, not just a SanDisk drive.
The File: WLWPortable3.zip
This zip file does NOT contain everything you need to run Windows Live Writer. This is simply a launcher which will run Windows Live Writer in a self contained environment so you can take everything with you between computers via your USB memory device.
If you do not currently have Windows Live Writer, follow the instructions in the section below titled "Details on installing Windows Live Writer."
If you are currently using version 2 of my launcher, follow the instructions in section below titled "Upgrading from WLW Portable Version 2."
Installation Summary for New users
1. Unzip this file to somewhere on your hard drive.
2. Download Windows Live Writer from: http://get.live.com/writer/overview
3. Install Windows Live Write as usual. You don't even have to run it, just so long as it is installed. This is fairly straight forward but you might want to look over the details I have written below.
4. Copy ALL of the files FROM C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Writer TO the new structure on your USB drive that looks like the graphic below \WindowsLiveWriterPortable\App\WindowsLiveWriter
NOTE: Window 7 is copy the files from C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Writer to WindowsLiveWriterPortable\App\WindowsLiveWriter
5. You can now uninstall Windows Live Writer if you want.
6. Copy the whole WindowsLiveWriter Portable folder to your USB stick.
To use Windows Live Writer from your USB drive simply double click on WindowsLiveWriterPortable.exe and it will take care of the necessary registry settings and document paths.
Upgrading from WLW Portable Version 2
If you are using the standard, non U3 version, of WLW Portable you simply need to download and unzip the file above. On your USB drve, replace your WindowsLiveWriterPortable.exe with the one from this zip file. You can then launch the program as you always have.
Details on installing Windows Live Writer
1. Download WLinstaller.exe from: http://get.live.com/writer/overview
2. Double click to start the installer.
3. The next screen will pop up. Accept the agreement.
4. The following screen will pop up. Unless you want these services you can deselect all of them and click Install
5. You will be prompted to add other Live services. Choose Writer and any others you want to try out.
6. Writer will install as well as others you have selected above.
7. Remember, you do not even need to launch the program. Follow the procedures above and then you can uninstall Windows Live Writer from your machine.

Steve Schillinger is remembered by several traders as a gregarious, husky 6-footer from Chicago who worked the floor for 18 years. When Schillinger's name is mentioned, the reaction from his former colleagues is always the same -- a pause, followed by sly, knowing laughter, and a shake of the head. They loved or hated Schill, as he was known. But he was always upbeat, and possessed an incredible head for numbers.
"He was God," says one trader with graying Brillo pad hair. "He was a natural."
"A wheeler-dealer!" chuckles another named Terrence Pierce.

Gamblers Anonymous
The front page of wsex.com refers people with gambling problems to GA.
"Very street-wise," adds Brad Rucker, a trader who hung around with Schillinger when they were kids growing up in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights. "We hustled a lot of pool together."
"He's one of the smartest guys I know," smiles trader Rob Kovell. "Like a mad scientist."
Schill was an inspiration to other traders, says Bob Pagnini, because he always kept his cool under pressure. Even if he was having a terrible day, "he wouldn't show it emotionally. He's terrific at it."
People remember Schill for another reason. He was the undisputed king of the office pool. On the side, Schillinger took bets from fellow traders, making book on which movie was going to win an Academy Award, or what the verdict would be in the O.J. Simpson trial. The traders loved it, in part because it took balls to attempt such a thing -- right there, on the floor of the Pacific Exchange! And he remembered everyone's wagers, never writing anything down. He kept all of it in his head.
The informal gambling provided welcome relief from the stress, which traders handle in various ways. The younger ones blow off steam, charging through San Francisco bars, shooting off to Tahoe for a weekend of skiing. The older ones compartmentalize their stress, and try not to bring home all the bullshit to their families every night. Some burn out early and fade away, others sit simmering with thoughts of another way to make a living. As one says, "People are always looking for other avenues."
In 1996, Schillinger and fellow trader Jay Cohen decided their avenue out of the Exchange would be Internet gambling, on a scale nobody had ever seen. Their jobs -- buying in the morning and selling in the afternoon -- weren't much different than making book. The Internet gaming market appeared wide open, with little or no competition. The three men researched the legal issues, consulted with attorneys, and began talking to investors about launching a Web gambling site.
About the same time, the Exchange caught wind of Schillinger's betting operation, and noticed that he wasn't making as many trades as he once did. In-house regulatory staff asked Schillinger upstairs for questioning about his betting pools. "He declined to explain," recalls Exchange Corporate Affairs Vice President Dale Carlson.
But by then, Schillinger and Cohen had lined up financing for their next venture. All the pieces were in place for the company that would be called World Sports Exchange. Cohen phoned up Haden Ware, a 21-year-old floor runner and student, whose primary job every day was to fetch hamburgers at 10:30 a.m. for Cohen and Schillinger. Cohen told Ware they were going to the Caribbean. Did Ware want to come along? Ware said sure.
The three walked away from their jobs on the Exchange, confident that success awaited them on an island in the sun.
Antigua sits in the heart of the Caribbean, with Puerto Rico to the northwest, and Montserrat and Barbados to the south. Discovered by Christopher Columbus, the island achieved independence from the British in 1981, but the U.K. influence is everywhere, from the parliamentary-style government to a strange passion for playing cricket. Tourists come for the scuba diving and balmy weather, and the island advertises itself as the world's ideal honeymoon destination.
It's also ideal for gamblers.
With a population of just 80,000, Antigua -- and the neighboring islet of Barbuda -- bristles with Internet gambling. According to Antiguan government documents, at least 82 licensed online casinos and sports books operate there, with a long waiting list for gambling licenses. A hefty percentage of the world's total offshore gambling, hundreds of millions of dollars' worth, runs through Internet servers located on 108 square miles of beach and palm trees.
On the island's north coast, in an area called Blue Waters, sits the villa rented by Steve Schillinger and Haden Ware. Five minutes away, in a shopping mall, are the offices of World Sports Exchange, filled with 14 computers. Most workdays, the two sit in shorts and sandals in front of keyboards, watching sports on TV, taking bets from customers thousands of miles away. They gladly speak to reporters. Press attention never hurt before, and now, in an extended legal dispute with their own government, it can only help.
Schillinger, 46, says the idea for the operation was actually a combination of his Pacific Exchange betting activities and the computer acumen of Jay Cohen. Stocky, buff, with short dark hair, Cohen was a 29-year-old trader with a degree from Berkeley in nuclear engineering who noticed how the floor traders swarmed around Schill to bet on the O.J. trial.

USA today does a good write up on Whole Foods.
Whole Foods, which just turned 25, has only 168 stores but has the industry's full attention. A typical supermarket sells south of $400 per square foot; a Whole Foods exceeds $800. Sales at the average market grew about 1% last year; the typical Whole Foods posted a nearly 15% jump. The results "speak for themselves," says Mackey, who expects Whole Foods' revenue to mushroom to $10 billion in 2010 from $3.9 billion in 2004.
Supermarket experts say Whole Foods has raised the bar for the industry. "You can't just be a purveyor of meal ingredients anymore," says David Merrefield, editorial director at Supermarket News. "Whole Foods brings excitement to an industry that needs it."
Count me as a fan of Whole Foods, for a variety of reasons. Selection, quality, their basic philosophy surrounding what they sell, how they treat their employees: all are solid reasons for frequenting their stores, and they do these things better than many, many other chain supermarkets. But one of the primary reasons I go is due to their corporate transparency. They don't hide their politics…Their website tells their take on many important food issues. Let's see Safeway compare against that.
My only complaint? It's very crowded (which is a testament to its popularity). But soon Seattle is going to have its third Whole Foods, almost down the street from where I currently live. Hopefully that'll help.
UPDATE: Derrick noted in the comments that Whole Foods does have a problem with Unions. A quick glance of google confirms this. Something to bear in mind…I'll re-visit this later.

Thank you Soundwave
Hello! I wanted to tell you just how good Soundwave was and urge you to buy a ticket for next year. So that's what I am going to do.
It was AMAZING. I've never been to a festival as beautiful as this one before. Sun, sea (no sand) and seafood.
We got to the airport at half ten at night and we were greeted by Adam Ball, one of the organisers who drove us the half hour drive to our apartment, where we crashed out and woke up in the beautiful sunshine the next morning. We had previously looked at the weather forecast which read something like this…
Thursday – Shit
Friday – Shit
Saturday – Shit
Sunday – Slightly shitter…sorry.
But we had high hopes and we were not disappointed. It was glorious. Adam, Abi and I cartwheeled our way down to the festival site and claimed our spot which turned out to be ours for the entire weekend. The sea didn't take long to entice us in. I do wish it has been slightly kinder on me though as I managed to fall over quite a few times and graze my left buttock on the rocks before I managed to get in. There are sea urchins you see and their sole purpose in life, I am sure, is to get bits of themselves into your feet, so its best to go in with jelly shoes. I went in with flip-flops. Don't go in with flip-flops. Even though mine had 3 straps to ensure they didn't come of, they did. Once we were in the sea I could not have been any happier. It was crystal clear and so salty that treading water whilst you listened to the DJs and punched your index fingers into the air (ironically of course) was real easy to do. Unless you are Abi Sugden who had to straddle a buoy to do so.
The music wasn't bad either! Aly Gillani did an exceptional job of introducing us to Soundwave life with his DJ skilz. Ross PTH, The Nice-Up boys, Hoya:Hoya fellas and WrongTom were most excellent at getting the party swinging into action at the Beach Bar whilst we sipped our Pina coladas and on the main stage Laura J Martin did not disappoint, Bonobo was rammed, absolutely rammed and Jack Baker and Mike Lesirge blew most of the audience away with their sick improv tussle which was only bettered by the drop back into the tune (of which I am more than embarrassed to have forgotten the name of. I don't think I am too good at writing reviews).
When it came to our set on the Sunday you'll never guess what happened. It rained! It did! It bloody rained! So instead of playing the main stage drenched in sunshine and probably sweat, the entire festival was ushered into Barbarella's, (a 1970′s, Italian discotheque) and play resumed. Although, it was a different kind of play. By the time we had set up our equipment the whole dance floor was populated and a rave was well and truly underway. Not the ideal warm-up for an acoustic act that consists of 1 guitar and two vocals. We asked the DJ to bring it down a little so he dropped some Nostalgia 77 and watching the dance floors reaction to this was hilarious. It was like they had all been woken up from a state of hypnosis and caught themselves doing something really wrong. I did enjoy that bit.
When it came to it, the audience were amazing! We had a sea of people beaming at us and dancing along. I couldn't believe how much they appeared to enjoy it considering we had just wrenched them out of a rave and thrust them into some soft vocal lead, acoustic soul. Every song we played was met with a wall of hand claps, wooops and eager faces awaiting the next. I sound like I am bigging myself up here don't I. I'm not, I am bigging the crowd up. Ive never been to a festival where the festival goers are so open to everything. They were there to have a good time and so that's what they did. It really was a joy to be a part of and testament to a wonderful festival.
So, all that's left to say is thank you Soundwave. Thank you for your good times. I like you very very much.

Desktop Mastering: A few moments with Steve Turnidge
Each semester, the number of students in my recording classes who are interested in mastering increases. Yet few, if any, understand what a mastering engineer does. Many are under the misconception that mixing and mastering are done at the same time, and that the latter simply involves the use of a compressor that maxes out the levels on the output bus. Consequently, they are very surprised to discover how the two aspects of the recording process differ, and that they can learn to do both.
Desktop Mastering (2012, Hal Leonard) was written for aspiring engineers who want to develop the skills required to enhance a recording after it is mixed. Author Steve Turnidge walks the reader through the various stages of mastering, explaining the terms, technology, and working methods involved. He even offers tips on creating a mix that won't make the mastering process a nightmare.
In addition to running a studio, Turnidge has worked in nearly every facet of the music business, and he currently designs audio products that combine analog and digital circuitry. So it's no surprise that Desktop Mastering includes sections on business as well as the fundamentals of audio and electronics. The following Q&A was conducted via email.
What made you decide to write this book?
Initially I was hoping to write a different book about Social Networking—my working title was "The Social-Digital Ecosystem." I was talking to Bill Gibson, author and editor with Hal Leonard Books, about the idea. At one point he visited my studio and evidently I shared a few novel techniques about mastering with him, and that stayed with him.
A few months later, it turned out that Desktop Mastering, already in progress, had an AWOL author. A memo went out to the editors asking if anyone knew a likely candidate and Bill thought of me right away. One quick phone call—"Can you write a 50,000 word book on Desktop Mastering by July?"— and I said yes.
The universe makes the set list, and this was appropriate for me to do. It has been a great learning experience: for example, what actually matters when you are writing a book?, and what can you rely on others for? Evidently, it worked out OK because I've been asked to write an 80,000-word follow-up called Beyond Mastering: A Conceptual Guide, which is slated for release in March 2013.
What advice about mastering would you give to students that they can put to use immediately?
First, make a distinction between hearing and listening. We hear all the time, but listening is a conscious event. Bring attention to your listening.
Second, work to get an accurate listening environment. Investigate speaker placement, especially, and work toward accurate frequency response from your system. Tuning your listening position sweet spot with a Real Time Analyzer and room EQ is a great start. You wouldn't operate on someone without an X-Ray to see where the internal organs are, and you shouldn't make critical changes to audio without knowing that what you are hearing out of your system is closely equivalent to what went in to it.
Third, work at a consistent level. You can check things softer or louder, but find a position for your volume control and only work there. Train your ear for a given output, and your decision making process will receive a consistent input.
Lastly, I'd make sure that the students have a clear view of the stage of music production they are working on at any given moment. There are generally four stages of production: Tracking, Mixing, Mastering and Distribution. These stages closely reflect the stages of baking a pie.
Tracking is like getting the ingredients together: the fresher and cleaner the source material is, the better the pie will be.
Mixing is like, well, mixing. This is where all the components are blended together and placed in the pan. It is important to realize that the freshly mixed and prepared pie is not yet ready to eat: it still needs baking.
Mastering is the baking phase. Among the most common errors mastering engineers see are half-baked pies. This is when compression, limiting, and high levels make the mastering job more about restoration than enhancement. If the mixed file sounds like it is ready to go on the radio, it is probably not in an appropriate pre-mastered state.
The last stage, distribution, is like the hot pie on the windowsill, drawing the audience and fans from far and wide.
It is important to know and work appropriately on the stage you are in.
What do you tell aspiring mixing engineers about avoiding over-compressing their work? Is there a particular way they can keep dynamics in the work, yet make it as loud as possible?
There is a very counter-intuitive aspect to the modern relationship between a mixing engineer and mastering engineer. The softer the tracks I get, the louder I can make them. Assuming they are 24-bit, there is plenty of resolution even with the peaks -10dB down.
When I get tracks that are half-baked and crispy right out to the edges, we start the mastering process as one of restoration. We only have the opportunity to work half of our craft: we can only turn things down.
On the other hand, when a track comes in that is emotionally balanced, and gentle and delicate—even if it is a hardcore track—I can not only turn parts down, but I can turn them up! This allows for the greatest dynamic range from my processes.
One way to think about this is to let the mastering engineer fight the loudness wars for you. You stay in the studio and get the artistic process right. Make the greatest song you can, the best you've ever done, and keep those master faders nice and soft. I can make that rock.
You have to get small to get big. I have a client that ran his master fader bus full on, all the time. He had no headroom to vary the mix: he always hit the limits and had to turn down the individual elements. I finally convinced him to turn the master faders down. When he learned to mix softly, he could vary the elements of the composition easily, without the constant compromises his overdriven system was demanding from him.
He could still turn up his monitoring amp, so the levels he mixed at could remain comfortable for him. Mix softly, and monitor with a big stick.
This was a conversion experience for this client. Every track that came out of his studio after that was a pleasure to master and peeled the paint off the walls (compared to starting with a screeching, sibilant mess from a maxed-out system).
That is the nature of the conversation. As a mixing engineer, once you hear the true, final outcome when you respect the larger world of gain structure, you don't have to be convinced. You become good.

It was go, go, go since the alarm went off this morning - another one of those days when I had to do a little of each job which means running around to a few different places. This is the first chance I had to turn on the computer today. I have been getting busier with my nutrition deliveRD business which is great but it's making it harder to blog in real time, sorry! For breakfast this morning I packed a Fage 2% yogurt and some Quaker Oatmeal Squares...eating yogurt in the car is not the easiest so I ate the cereal first and saved the yogurt until I was at the gym. I worked in our cafe a little and had to scoot off and make a delivery afterwords. I shopped at Whole Foods for my client so I grabbed a salad off the salad bar while I was in there. I tried a new combo of lettuce, corn, peas, black beans, raisins, pecans and soybeans or lima beans (not sure which one). I had to have a little crackers with it because I was craving some carbs(probably because too many hours had passed since I last ate!). I am running off to dog training now and then I am actually going out to dinner because it is Restaurant Week in Boston so Mike got us a couple reservations - good eats for cheap...can't pass that up!

ShareWell we have had the Budget from the Treasurer Wayne Swan and it has no surprises given the amount of detail leaked in the last 24 hours or so.
The 1% company tax cut being dropped is disappointing, the Government will have to work hard to explain to the business community why it was dropped. I don' think it is off the agenda as it was a meagre cut of that recommended in the Henry Tax Review, and "The Business Tax Working Group has been asked to consider the longer‑term reform …

ShareThere is no need to return to surplus. At least as far as the domestic economy is concerned. Sure, to be the first economy in the world to return to surplus after the GFC would be great kudos for the Government, it 'should' blunt the Opposition's claims that the Government couldn't achieve it, and more importantly, it will contribute to foreign investment confidence.

ShareThere are two glaring omissions thus far from the headlines in regard to policy strength and weakness on both sides of the current election campaign. One is the proposed Internet Filter, which has thankfully been "put on ice", for a while, I just fear that it will be warmed up should Labor be successful in winning a second term. It is interesting that although the Libs have previously quietly opposed it, for that is their job – to oppose things, they haven't made it a highlight issue of criticism in …

ShareWell ladies and gentleman, here we go again. Another election campaign? well no. This is not just another election campaign, this is quite different, this is a campaign that will demonstrate the power of accelerated media, the short life span of rhetoric, and the capacity of the Australian people to stand up to the ridicule that some people the political spin factory (on one side in particular) would have you believe how stupid you are.

About Me Value Oriented
We use these mats on our back yard pool deck, which gets so hot in summers we can hardly walk on it. The mats stay cool, don't slip around when wet, and dry quickly. Also good on the grassy yard area. So inexpensive, I bought 4 -- am ordering more!
Using for my beach themed wedding
By Nikki
from New York, NY
I'm having a casual beach wedding this summer and I actually used these mats to create an aisle runner for the ceremony. I got five and sewed them together, folding the edges over so it looks like one continuous piece! It looks great, actually. I also bought an extra one to use on the beach on our honeymoon. They are much sturdier than I thought they would be for the price.

Her commentaries had previously included deliberately-bleeped words for comic effect, but the production goof came at a time of intense concern by broadcasters over new FCC scrutiny. Nipplegate, Howard Stern, now Loh. Station manager Ruth Seymour later apologized and offered to re-hire, but Loh declined. The whole story's here (and you can still hear Loh on NPR's Marketplace, here). LA Times update here.
There's good reason for concern, as evidenced by a recent decision by congress -- which passed 391-22-- to substantially increase fines, penalties and license reviews for 'indecent' or 'profane' material. BoingBoing pal Ernest Miller says:
"For years the FCC has been regulating 'indecent' speech. Recently, of course, this has become a big deal, what with Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction and Bono saying 'This is really, really f-ing great!' at the Golden Globes. Now, however, the FCC has really taking a big step forward in regulating speech. For the first time they have declared speech not only 'indecent' but 'profane' as well. If the FCC's argument about profane speech is upheld, any 'grossly offensive' speech, whether or not related to sex or excretion, could be banned from the airwaves."Link to Corante post on the FCC's new moves to regulate profanity in broadcasting. Update: Stern fined, Bono's remark ruled profane, in FCC decision: Link

Profile America — Wednesday, March 19th. Banks had operated in America for about a half century before someone tried to make an unauthorized withdrawal. On this date in 1831, Edward Smith committed the first bank robbery in the U.S. — hitting the City Bank on New York's Wall Street. He entered the bank after it closed, using a duplicate set of keys, and got away with $245,000 — a huge sum at the time. But he was caught, convicted and spent five years in New York's Sing-Sing Prison. Now, across the nation, there are over 91,000 commercial banking establishments. As one 20th century bank robber supposedly noted, that's where the money is — bank deposits total over $8 trillion.
