Excellent and fast delivery! | ||||
Great Service! (5/5) | May 14, 2012 | Cindy Bonewitz | Oklahoma City OK US | |
Great product at a reasonable price. Tried to order same type of device from Office Depot along with our regular office supplies order--Out of Stock. Surfed and came across this device. Compared to other products that do the same thing, this one was less expensive. Arrived within 3 days time! Only suggestion I would make is to send an email notification when the product ships so the customer knows it's on its way. | ||||
Converter (5/5) | Jul 7, 2010 | James Turnipseed | Robertsdale Al US | |
Works as advertised. Now I wish I could a converter that will work from USB to PS/2 so I can go back to my USB keyboard on my KVM switch. | ||||
great service (5/5) | Apr 11, 2011 | James Willoughby | Charlotte NC US | |
I found for a cheaper price on Amazon but I ordered anyway hoping for faster service. The item was delivered within 3 days. It is a handy way to connect your Notebook to a PS/2 KVM switch. | ||||
PS/2 to USB Converter (4/5) | Sep 13, 2010 | Joseph Feest Jr. | Highland Mills NY US | |
When I upgraded my 2 daughters computer could only get standard keyboard to work then I purchased the PS/2 to USB Converter and pluged in the VisionBoard keyboard and it worked perfectly. Now both keyboards work great. I would buy Chester Creek products in the future service was fast and prompt. |
Just what I needed, Plus (5/5) | Nov 7, 2011 | Marty | Woodstock IL US | |
I needed to use a bar code reader on my new laptop that only had USB and no PS/2. The bar code company told me I need to buy a $100 cable. So I bought this PS/2 to USB adapter. You know it worked great and I got it so fast! Now I can also hook up my older keyboard and mouse if needed. Thank you for offering this adapter. |

A Hoosier Tuesday, May 11, 2010: 12:44 am More from A Hoosier | Reality Check, maybe you prefer these comments from theindychannel.com regarding this story: Well, well, well. Folks, this one is mine. Morgan County doesn't like the idea of a "swingers campground", but you are perfectly ok with allowing Brooklyn to assume zoning jurisdiction of 2 miles, change the zoning, (which coincidentally allowed one of the zoning commissioner's son-on-law to sell his property at over $70,000 an ACRE....that's not a missprint.....so that a mining company can dig a 150 ft hole for 70 years behind a residential area....and trying to do it without notifying adjacent property owners. And then, we had the story of the Rev Frank Sams whose brother in law was living with him (a registered sex offender) and living within a 1000 ft of a school. And now, you folks have a problem with swingers. Not that I am a swinger nor would I ever engage in it, but to think that the crooks, thieves, and pathetic swindlers of Morgan Co have a problem with ANYTHING is beyond my comprehension. Seems to me that those in charge in Morgan Co don't have a problem with screwing people; they just have a problem with the "literal" use of the word. Or maybe this one: Hey... this is sister kissing, nascar and wrasslin country... we don't need no swingers messing up our style down here... Read more. These comments suggest the preception the public has regarding our community and it's citizens. Heart breaking. |

Tomcatt68 Tuesday, May 11, 2010: 10:01 am More from Tomcatt68 | These comments suggest the preception the public has regarding our community and it's citizens. Heart breaking. - a Hoosier This is the exact reason Martinsville will never grow. No business wants to come to a town that is so prejudice. A factory wanted to build here in the 90's along White River, signs went up saying "this land not for sale" and "Remember Pearl Harbor". You don't have to agree with ones beliefs, but it is their right to be free. Zoning laws are in place to protect having industrial sites right next to residential sites or landfills in a well protection zone. Zoning laws are not there so a person can say "I don't want that next to me." You don't like it buy the ground, or sell yours either way they have the right as long as it does not endanger the public. Why do people think Morgan County is full of redneck hillbilly white trash, it is because the citizens give them plenty of reasons to think that. Between the fights at the funeral homes, the MSD superintendent's DUI, Cops using excessive force on a 10 year old, the prejudice attitude, and the list goes on. |
elelady Tuesday, May 11, 2010: 11:16 am More from elelady | The Bible says we should love our neighbors as ourselves, but this does not mean we should not be able to tell the world that being "Gay" is not a lifestye that God approves of. We can love the person and hate the things they choose to do. I hate the thought of such a campground's being approved, they do have the same rights to regular campgrounds, so they have no need of a special one. As far as I know, it is a crime to expose yourself in public, for whatever reason. |
A Hoosier Tuesday, May 11, 2010: 11:30 am More from A Hoosier | Drummer. Oh no, Sugar, I am not programmed. I just await a �potential destiny�. A world in which all people care for one an other, nurture one an other, and strive to help one an other succeed in this big bad world. I pray for empathy, compassion, moral and personal responsibility, and humanity. I believe in an open heart, one that welcomes all people of all colors and beliefs. Just like you, Drummer. I don�t believe in or support any of the things that you do. Such as: liberals will be the death of us all.......... usually some hair brained female with a touchy feely unrealistic tunnel visioned view of 'her' world. (BTW, that would be me.), The police break laws by not following laws....... we are a nation that doesn't respect laws. why should I?, it is insanity --- half of our country is welfare sucking people who hate us, make my day girly boy. and not to worry, your gubmit is shipping africans into your country at the tune of hundreds of thousands a year. Your coming diversity engulfment (also from de pais de mexico) will soon make you irrelevant whether it bothers you or not. I hope that, one day, you will see that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Until then, I respect your right to believe what ever makes your world go round. Peace. |

Thematic presentation
Making the most of the exhibition area's linearity and the unimpeded view towards the lake, the first exhibition unit, corresponding to the environment, offers the possibility of acquainting oneself directly with the natural habitat, which also constitutes the object of the individual subsections developed here. The first subsection presents the region's particular geological characteristics, the land and water, and their exploitation by mankind over the centuries. The second subsection presents the specific characteristics of the lake and mountain habitats, with a particular emphasis on their flora and fauna.
The third subsection ends with a presentation of the region's human habitation from ancient times through to the present, thus introducing the human element to the museological narration. The elaboration of this subsection benefited greatly from the input of the LZ Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, the 25th Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities and the Canadian Archaeological Institute at Athens. *Kilika 510 –500bc © Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The second exhibition unit presents the traditional occupations that were developed in the region, in direct relation with the environment. A central exhibit, the cross-section of the lake brings into the Museum's premises the lake's real flora and fauna and stresses its role as a driving force for all human activities in the region. It comprises three subsections, which also indirectly determine mankind's space of action: the lake, the plain and the mountain. The first subsection is dedicated to hunting and fishing, the second presents farming and viticulture, while the third concerns livestock farming, beekeeping and the use of pack animals for transportation. The Museum highlights issues such as the necessity of an ecological balance and the respect of the environment.

Promo video for D'Angelo's "Voodoo" album…shot in Cuba
What a musician this man is!
Promo video for D'Angelo's "Voodoo" album…shot in Cuba
What a musician this man is!
From The Depths Of SOUL
This has got to be one of the trillest performances I have ever seen. In Gospel Quartet Fashion, D'Angelo, Raphael Saadiq, QuestLove, and Ali Shaheed float seamlessly through genres like air. This performance is love, and sweat, and shout. It is a spiritual experience, with music as its magical conduit.
Yes. You. Are. Welcome.
"There's forces that are going on that I don't think a lot of motherfuckers that make music today are aware of," he says. "It's deep. I've felt it. I've felt other forces pulling at me." He stubs out his cigarette and leans toward me, taking my hand. "This is a very powerful medium that we are involved in," he says gravely. "I learned at an early age that what we were doing in the choir was just as important as the preacher. It was a ministry in itself. We could stir the pot, you know? The stage is our pulpit, and you can use all of that energy and that music and the lights and the colors and the sound. But you know, you've got to be careful."

Call it an instance of science fiction begetting science fiction. Physicist Adam Weigold wants to build a laser weapon that he believes might change the face of warfare should the U.S. find itself tangling militarily with a certain people's republic across the Pacific at some point in the near future. And to fund the research for said weapon, Weigold is releasing a science fiction novel about--wait for it--the U.S. tangling militarily with a certain people's republic across the Pacific in the near future.
Dragon Empire, set in 2025, is a creative telling of the real-world impact that various technologies--including hypersonic missiles, satellite weapons, drones, and stealth aircraft--would likely have on a future war between two modern military powers like China and the United States. But beyond that, Weigold is funneling the book's proceeds into his defense startup Lightning Gun Inc. which aims to produce a laser weapon that can swat guided missiles and other electronically-augmented weapons from the sky--and thus change the playing field for modern warfare.
How? Well, as Weigold told TechNewsDaily, guided missiles and bombs are a huge battlefield technology piece. Without them, militaries would have to completely shift their strategies and tactics. And Weigold thinks the way to do this is with a defensive laser EMP weapon capable of knocking out guidance systems aboard incoming munitions. All Lightning Gun has to do now is succeed where everyone who has tried before has failed.The idea behind laser electromagnetic pulse weapons is pretty simple. A high-powered laser can strip electrons from air molecules and create an ionized ball of charged plasma in the sky. Pulsing said laser can create a kind of charged ripple from this effect--in other words, an EMP. If the EMP is generate close enough and powerfully enough in the path of an incoming electronically guided munition, its electronics will be fried. No more guidance.
But as with all laser weapons, there are complications here. For one, high-energy lasers are a huge power suck with lots of delicate components--not exactly ideal for a military that likes to be light on its feet and pack equipment that can take a beating. Then, lasers are finicky. Everything from humidity to clouds to air pressure can alter a laser's beam path and intensity. As the DoD can attest, you can spend billions on a laser weapon and still end up with nothing.
Weigold and Lightning Gun claim to have solutions on the drawing board, and if the company can raise something like half a million dollars to get experiments set up it could possibly ask the DoD to help cover the rest of its funding needs, which are roughly $2 million (Weigold is only looking to raise $20,000 of that from his book). If he can do that, he thinks he can produce a weapon in three to four years.
That would be pretty amazing turnaround for a laser weapons program, and it's not completely unfeasible. Laser weapons, for all of their impracticalities, are quite real. Germany's Rheinmetall Defense recently blasted two drones out of the sky from over a mile away with its new 50-kilowatt laser system, and everyone from the U.S. Navy to the American Missile Defense Agency is toying with laser tech these days. The real question is whether they can have the impact Weigold imagines. Guided missiles are a threat, yes, but so are ballistic ones--including the one U.S. Pacific planners are most worried about, the so-called DF-21 "carrier-killer." And if there's one thing we know about arms races, it's that for every defensive countermeasure you can dream up the enemy can generally think up a way around it.
I listened to that book on the drive to S.P.I. It kinda sucked.
I just recently watched a video announcement of a successful test of a missile that can selectively knock out targets with an EMP pulse while cruising along the given trajectory. So isn't something like this a little old news? I say funnel the funds into development of portable power sources to power particle/chemical lasers, and the tech to increase the reaction time and range of those lasers' detection systems.
Imagine being able to park one or two battle cruisers along an alies coast, and pick anything the enemy throws at us out of the sky or sea like childs play.
So basically what they want to build is an ion cannon. Got it.
Five amazing, clean technologies that will set us free, in this month's energy-focused issue. Also: how to build a better bomb detector, the robotic toys that are raising your children, a human catapult, the world's smallest arcade, and much more.

Surrounded by bilingual and multilingual people as I am on my Intercultural Communication course, I feel quite inadequate with my single language. For me, it's not about the arrogance of believing that English is the international language and that I don't need to learn another. It's that I have no talent for languages. I've tried, taken countless hours of classes in German, French and Spanish, listened to audio tapes, used interactive computer learning modules, all to no avail. I still don't even have much better than tourist-level proficiency in any language. I consider it one of my greatest weaknesses, and it's a source of shame for me. Still, I haven't let that stop me from exploring the world, learning about other cultures and developing close personal relationships with people around the globe.
Since beginning my studies, I've been confronted several times, in lectures, books and journal articles, with the opinion that you can't truly understand a culture without learning the language. I'm not sure I buy it. Admittedly I haven't delved deeper to see if anyone has backed up the opinion with proof, and maybe my own lack of language skills makes me biased, but I'm sceptical. For one thing, I've known many many people who are fluent in a second language, and yet remain completely monocultural, keeping their minds closed, holding onto their cultural biases. Their knowledge of the language doesn't seem to have increased their cultural understanding at all. They seem, instead, to simply be translating, substituting words but not ways of thinking.
However, I do agree with Wierzbicka that delving into key words in a language can provide cultural insights. In fact, just learning a bit about the Japanese word "enryo" provided insights for me that I've already been able to put to use in my ongoing work with a Japanese client. It's not being able to speak the words that are important, so much as it's understanding what is behind the words.
So here's my own theory: You can learn about and understand a culture without becoming fluent in the language, but not without developing insights into the emotions and beliefs that are central to it. Studying key words is one way to gain insights, but I suspect there are insights to be gained by examining other clues, including cultural icons, foods, customs and other behaviour.
But I still wish I could speak additional languages. And I'll keep taking classes and buying the latest language CD sets. In fact, just last week I spent a day at The Language Show, and took my first lesson in Japanese. I think optimism must be an American cultural trait.

CD/LP/Track Review
Circulasione Totale Orchestra: Open Port (2009)
This largely high-impact orchestra launched in 1984 by Norwegian multi-reedman Frode Gjerstad is more of a collective, where young and veteran jazz-based improvisers pass through to abet the unit's continual evolution. It's an acoustic-electric format that might be analogous to a histogram amidst the abundance of pointy spikes and steady-state flows.
It's an international gala indeed, featuring vibraphonist Kevin Norton, cornetist Bobby Bradford and drummers Paal Nilssen-Love and Louis Moholo, who augment the thirteen-piece gathering of like-minded improvisers. Here, Morten J. Olsen and Lasse Marhaug provide the existential overtones via electronics, while Olsen also employs an arsenal of percussion instruments to align and complement the drummers' asymmetrical pulses.
The orchestra looms as a multidimensional powerhouse, teeming with interesting contrasts and knotty sojourns. With jangling percussion, supple interludes and blistering crescendos, it elicits notions of a subterranean environ. This is partly due to Borre Molstad's understated tuba lines on the second movement of the lone piece, dedicated to Gjerstad's former band-mates in the group Detail, titled "Yellow Bass & Silver Cornet (In Memory of Johnny Mbizo Dyani And John Stevens)." Gjerstad then accelerates the variable cadences with his wily clarinet phrasings atop Anders Hana's blistering rock guitar lines. At times, the musicians perform as though they're possessed by spirits, with the intentions of rising to a state of divine fulfillment.
In alternating regions of sound and scope the artists execute a barrage of soul searching motifs, firmed up with free-form exchanges and weaving horns choruses. But they also mix it up with scrappy interplay, creating a mind-altering experience that is incredibly powerful and intense. Gjerstad and friends prove, beyond a doubt, that free improvisation coupled with synergistic interplay yields substance. It's a 360 degree panorama of rapidly-moving themes, underscored by gobs of imagery and the instrumentalists finely tuned improvisational faculties.
Track Listing: Yellow Bass & Silver Cornet (In Memory of Johnny Mbizo Dyani And John Stevens.

Why is it natural or useful to organize objects (of some appropiate category) into exact sequences? Exact sequences are ubiquitous - and I've encountered them enough to know that they can provide a very useful and efficient framework to work within. However, I have no idea what this framework truly is or why it is effective.
So, my questions are:
1.) what makes exact sequences natural objects to deal with?
2.) what do they encode, generally speaking? Or if you are unable to think of a satisfactory answer in general, what are some specific examples of exact sequences encoding some desirable property?
Please set me straight! It seems like all of the references that I've come across only encyclopedically develop the idea of an exact sequence, sparing the reader of any qualification or exposition. Thank you.
Note: I had surely expected this to be a question already asked here or on mathoverflow... But I could not find anything like it. My apologies if this question has already been addressed.

Spagnuolo trying to improve Saints' defense
METAIRIE — The way Steve Spagnuolo and his players see it, he didn't accept an invitation to become the new defensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints to try to re-invent the wheel.
Nonetheless, he knows it's his responsibility to give the Saints a new, fresh look after they ended the past two seasons by giving up 41 and 36 points in playoff losses to the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, respectively.
The 52-year-old Spagnuolo is clearly back in his element as a defensive coordinator after a three-year stint as the St. Louis Rams head coach ended when he was fired Jan. 2 with a 10-38 overall record.
Spagnuolo, who cut his NFL teeth under one of the league's most-respected defensive coordinators in the late Jim Johnson, is better known for his two years as defensive coordinator of the New York Giants from 2007-08.
It was with the Giants that Spagnuolo made a name for himself, drawing up the masterful game plan for Super Bowl XLII that ended the New England Patriots' bid to become the first team to go 19-0.
Tom Brady and his prolific offense were shut out for the first three quarters and managed just two touchdowns and 274 total yards in the Giants' shocking 17-14 victory.
Just like that night, however, Spagnuolo says it's more about players than the game plan or the scheme.
"It all comes back to the players," he said of trying to help the Saints get back to the Super Bowl after those last two playoff setbacks. "Sometimes, all a coach can do is screw it up. That's just how I feel about the game.
"We don't play as coaches, but we certainly have to give them enough to give them a chance to win or be successful. We hope to do that every week."
That's great news for fans whose joy of watching the Saints hold Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts to 17 points in a Super Bowl XLIV win was offset by the 77 points they gave up the past two postseason outings under former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
Gone is Williams' aggressive man-to-man defense and all-out blitzing tactics that often left linebackers and defensive backs susceptible to long passes down the field.
In is Spagnuolo's zone-blitz defense, which drops quicker defensive ends off the line of scrimmage to help out in coverage while defenders who would normally be covering receivers rush the quarterback.
"Spags is not coming in here to try and change any of these other things or our attitude or anything like that," Saints strong safety Roman Harper said. "He loves the way we play. He's just playing a different scheme.
"We're just going to have some different calls. It's not like he's changing the whole thing here. It's a winning attitude, it's a winning coach who has a team and that's what you want to be a part of. We want to keep that."
Indeed, the Saints have won 41 games including the playoffs with a Super Bowl title the past three seasons.
But the defense has been vulnerable against the run, giving up more than 4.3 yards per carry — including 5.0 yards a pop last season — in each of Williams' three seasons, and big pass plays as well.
Last season alone, the Saints allowed 99 big plays — defined as runs of 10 yards or more and passes of 20 yards or longer.
Interim head coach Joe Vitt, who has also served as linebackers coach for the past six seasons, and Spagnuolo said they would like to drop that total to 75 or less.
"Big plays on either side of the ball, or big-play differential, has a huge relation to winning or losing games," Spagnuolo said. "The more you can eliminate them and the more you can create them on offense increases the chances you have of winning the game."
Spagnuolo's philosophy is that starts with the big guys up front.
"You try to keep as many out there as you can," he said with a smile. "We could put 11 out there, but those guys wouldn't be able to cover the wide receivers. But we do believe in winning the game up front."
In Spagnuolo's two seasons with the Giants, his defense ranked seventh and fifth against the run and were fifth in fewest points allowed in 2008.
"One of Steve's biggest assets is his ability to put players in what they do best and in the right positions," Vitt said. "He's a very creative coach. He's got a great mind, and he doesn't ask players to do what they can't do. The players come first with him, not the scheme. I think that's exciting."
He's excited about having three unrestricted free agents — defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley and linebackers Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne — as well as holdovers in defensive ends Will Smith and Cameron Jordan, Harper and fellow safety Malcolm Jenkins, and cornerbacks Jabari Greer and Patrick Robinson to build around.
"Most coaches will tell you this, but what I enjoy the most is the teaching part of it … getting your hands dirty," Spagnuolo said. "Sometimes, when you serve as head coach, there are a lot of other pulls in a lot of other directions that take you away from that.
"I'm refreshed to be back in the trenches. The focus is strictly on the defensive guys and the defensive coaches, and I'm enjoying it right now."

Clonezilla partition clone and backup tool
Listening to the heads on your hard disk clicking when the disk fails is bad enough as it is, but worse things are still to come. Although buying and installing a replacement disk is unlikely to faze most users, this is just the start of a time-consuming installation marathon that can easily take a day or two to restore the whole system with your personal preferences and favorite wallpaper. Having a backup copy of the whole disk means that you can carry on with your work after about an hour, just as if nothing had gone wrong.
Retailers offer a variety of programs that will create a full backup with the press of a button, but these programs cost money. The open source Clonezilla [1] is an alternative to proprietary tools such as True Image, Drive Image, and Norton Ghost. Clonezilla will read a partition or your whole disk bit by bit and store the results in a (fairly large) file known as an image or write directly to a second medium. This allows you to clone a disk fairly quickly, which is handy if you are moving to a new computer and want to take your old system with you.
Clonezilla comes in two flavors: Clonezilla Live, which boots from a CD; or a bootable USB stick, which backs up a partition on another medium attached to your computer and is your best choice for everyday work. If needed, Clonezilla Live will back images up to the network, for example an NFS, SSH, or Samba server. This is really useful on home or school networks where you could store drive images on a small NAS. Clonezilla Server Edition can even clone the disks in multiple computers simultaneously over a network, but it requires a special environment to do so (see the "Clonezilla SE" box).

Considering TechSpot's audience mix of techies, hardware enthusiasts, IT pros and gamers, the question above sounds overly simplistic, if not insulting, but is it? Over the last decade, the MHz measurement in your PC's processor has lost much of its meaning, in part because it's no longer an absolute reflection of performance, but that may not the end of it.
For example, I know I'm running a Core i7 870 processor in my workstation, but I have no clue what exact frequency the CPU is running at. I don't think that would have been the case 5 or 10 years ago when I ran my overclocked Celeron 300a or Athlon dual-core processor. Back then I cared about clock and bus speeds, RAM timings, and other details that today I barely pay attention to before upgrading to a new platform.
With devices like smartphones and tablets invading the consumer space in sheer numbers, bringing potential irrelevancy to component specifications, do you think this is a trend that will inevitably hit computers sooner or later?
How about yourself, off the top of your head (DON'T LOOK IT UP), do you know what's your PC's CPU clock speed? Discuss.
mobile core 2 duo penryn 2.8ghz @ 3.25 i believe. yes i overclock my 14" laptop.
and not once ive seen an amd 64 x2 5200+ (2x2.6ghz)..
thats what i have had since 2007
replaced the mobo, its am2+..
could anyone tell me what the fastest cpu would be i could get atm?
the mobo is an msi k9a2 cf
i know i know, google.. but u ppl are fast n reliable.. i hope
i on the other hand.. am not.. atm
Core i7 2600k overclocked to 4.5 Ghz.
I7 970 3.2ghz (OC -4000 mhz)
AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3806.6MHz
AMD Phenom II x4 940 Black Ed. quad core 3.0 Ghz. I know cuz I just upgraded and my old mobo didn't support the new CPU and had to get a new one <_<
lesson learned: read/research BEFORE you buy!
P.S. Im not on my computer right now. =P
i7 950 @ 3.2 Ghz Only because its hot out otherwise it's at 3.8Ghz
on July 23, 2011
Phenom II X4 965BE 3.4GHz.
The way I see it, the gamers are the backbone of the computer hardware market as they're the ones constantly buying new processors, video cards, cases, CPU coolers and all that performance candy. I believe that as long as the PC gaming industry is alive and well, so will the computer hardware industry be here to stay.
Well, that's nice. I think that the consumer prebuilt, school, industrial, and government markets spend more money on hardware than gamers. Then there's the mobile segment.
I really don't think you're all that significant in keeping the computer industry alive.
You didn't think that one all the way through. PC Gamers upgrade and change video cards every 2yrs. or so, Inthusiest will change every 6 months. Govrnmt. and Schoold buy on a 5 and 10yr. basis. Soooo.

Daily Freeman (dailyfreeman.com), Serving the Hudson Valley since 1871
Tuesday, October 2, 2012
KINGSTON, N.Y. — A self-professed high-ranking member of the Bloods street gang who was arrested in Kingston's Operation Clean Sweep last spring has been convicted of felony drug sales following a trial in Ulster County Court, the county District Attorney's Office said Monday.
A jury on Thursday found Gary "B War" Watkins, guilty of five counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance and five counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, felonies, said District Attorney Holley Carnright.
Watkins faces up to 30 years in state prison when he is sentenced by Ulster County Judge Donald A. Williams on Nov. 28.
Carnright said Watkins was charged with selling crack cocaine to an undercover state police investigator on five separate occasions.
On three of occasions, Carnright said, Watkins negotiated the drug sale over the phone and sent Isiah "Ike" Pickett to carry it out, while Watkins conducted the other two himself.
Pickett, Carnright noted, pleaded guilty to his role in the crimes prior to trial and is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 19.
Carnright said based on the intelligence he received on Watkins, he is "responsible for bringing an influx of gang members from New York City to the city of Kingston to fill the void following the Sex, Money, Murder gang prosecutions."
Assistant District Attorney Michael Kavanagh prosecuted the case. Denis McClure represented Watkins.

Aristocracy Quotes Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.
An aristocracy in a republic is like a chicken whose head has been cut off; it may run about in a lively way, but in fact it is dead
The breath of an aristocrat is the death rattle of freedom.
A century and a half after its birth, the modern business corporation, an artificial person made in the image of a human psychopath, now is seeking to remake real people in its image.
There is...an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents.... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy.
Actual aristocracy cannot be abolished by any law: all the law can do is decree how it is to be imparted and who is to acquire it.
There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talent.
The true aristocracy and the true proletariat of the world are both in understanding with tragedy. To them it is the fundamental principle of God, and the key, the minor key, to existence. They differ in this way from the bourgeoisie of all classes, who deny tragedy, who will not tolerate it, and to whom the word tragedy means in itself unpleasantness.
Democracy may become frenzied, but it has feelings and can be moved. As for aristocracy, it is always cold and never forgives.

Commercial Sweep
"Work Safe, Not Hard!"
The Daay Bin Paddle Sweep is engineered to the most current specifications in the industry. The sweep has no dangerous augers to worry about and simply moves the grain with flexible rubber paddles. Explosion proof, all-weather quick change motors and tractor tread tires are among some of the features. The sweeps can be manufactured to fit in grain bins from 15' to 120' in size.
Farm Sweep
The Daay Power Sweep is available from 15' to 66' bins.
The Daay Power Sweep can be manufactured for bins from 15' up to 66'. It is designed to be fully submersed in grain. It has the ability to perform single or multiple passes. The paddle chain moves grain gently and evenly to the sump. And has a capacity of 5000 Bu/hr. at 350 rpm tightener shaft speed.
- Powered by the Power gearbox so there is no 2nd motor or power cords.
- The drive is driven by the paddle chain, eliminating the need for another power source.
- Has a single, segmented 5"x8"x15" tire.
- It has a flexible pivot joint and stabilizer arms to allow the sweep to move independently from the gearbox. This allows the sweep to adjust to variations in the floor height.
- It has adjustable stabilizer arms to accommodate variations in the bin size and out of roundness.
- The rubber drag helps clean the floor for minimal sweeping.
- The drive wheel is closer to the center of gravity, so the weight of the sweep is transferred to the tire better eliminating the need for a weight bracket.
- The flexible pivot joint transfers the power from the gear box to the sweep and gives you the flexibility to slow down or speed up the speed of the paddle chain to better match the Bushels per hour of the reclaim system. This will prevent overloading of the sweep and reclaim due to excessive capacity.
- The inclined pivot section allows the grain to flow the sump, so not matter if your sump is offset of center of your bin, the sweep will be able to achieve max capacity at any position in the bin.
- There are Pivot kits available for both a new install or to retro fit to your existing power sweep reclaim system.
Daay Bin Paddle Sweep Features
- 5,500 bushels per hour maximum capacity
- Lower input power requirement compared to other sweeps
- Does not plug or stall when overrunning the sweep
- Drive tire size: 13 x 5.00-6 Super Lug (foam filled)
- The tires are designed to slip to keep the sweep from climbing the pile.
- This allows the sweep to clean very close to the floor.
- Designed to be fully submersed in grain
- Housing is made out of 10 ga. Material
- Moves grain gently and evenly to sump
- Explosion proof motor
- Adjustable chain and motor mounts
Daay Bin Paddle Sweep
"We were very impressed with how the sweeps performed in our hybrid rice. They required virtually no help to keep feeding, making emptying our bins much easier, faster, and safer than with our old auger-type sweeps."
"We have found using the Daay Bin Paddle Sweep to be a much more efficient method of cleaning our bins versus our previous practice of using a grain vac. We use our paddle sweeps in 56 different bins multiple times a year. Our testing has shown better seed quality by using the Daay Sweep. Our employees have embraced it because it makes their job easier and safer. The safety and well-being of our employees is our number one priority".
"After we installed our first Daay Bin Paddle Sweep, my guys said if I didn't put Daay Sweeps in the rest of our bins they would quit."
"It took a lot of convincing for me to take that first step and buy a Daay Bin Paddle Sweep and I'm glad I did. We were looking for an economical way to meet OSHA guidelines, especially in our small bins, and there just wasn't anything out there. Three years ago this was an unsolvable problem. Now, it is solved. We are even considering the Daay Bin Paddle Sweeps for our flat storage buildings".
"As an operation's manager for a large co-op with multiple locations I need to look at safety, quality, and value when purchasing grain handling and storage equipment. When our team discovered the Daay Bin Paddle Sweep back in early 2010, I first found it somewhat hard to believe. After we tried our first one, I was a believer. We've purchased about a dozen since then and spread them throughout our locations. Our employees love them and they've made their jobs much easier. They are very safe to work around which is our No#1 priority, work well with any commodity, and save our co-op members money on capital improvements."

Yet another sample from Kiosque… I think I need to start in on my staples again. My palate is getting tired!
Anyhow, this was ok. Could definitely taste apricot, and peach… and each of them distinctly, which surprised me. I did not expect that. It all balanced very nicely. It was a very light tea as well. No sweetening or milk required!
If I hadn't just found another great peach tea last week, I would have surely liked this one more. I guess that's how the tea leaves fall :P

Flavory and tasty combination of smooth and mellow peaches with deep and intense apricot flavor.

As far as BL's I have seen Grade I and II's. The two's looked a little nicer and there was one advertised as maybe a 3 that was really nice. I am assuming the higher the grade the better. I wonder if it it is that way for all their stuff.

As far as I know on all Brownings the grade 1 is the base unit, with little if any engraving etc. As the number gets higher, the better the grade of gun.

Baddaryll-- There are essentially 3 BL22 lever action 22's. These petite lever action rifles date back to 1969/70-- the date is under the receiver rather than on the side of the receiver and the barrel is marked "patent pending." These older BL22's came in Grade I and II (the latter have an engraved receiver). The trigger on these early BL22's are thought superior to those made since and up until our day. The French walnut on the early rifles was also superior and lovely (like mine). Today's BL22's continue in Grade I and II (receivers engraved). They are a fine rifle and at least in my experience with a 1970 -- very accurate. A 3rd BL22 variant is the octagon barreled version. These turn up from time to time and look pretty cool. I've never handled one but if you come across one you might want to grab it, as they are rare.
All nice rifles! Just my .02 David |

Pretty little gun with a nasty trigger. It's been back to Browning twice to have the trigger reworked to make it at half way decent. It cost me an arm and a leg to buy it in 2000. I disliked it enough that I tried to trade it back in on something else. The dealer didn't want it back and said the only way would be if he really low balled me on the value. I didn't want to take that bad of a hit so I hung on to it. It's also got a funky weird way of cocking. The trigger moves along with the lever. At first I thought that was pretty innovative. The more I used it though, the more it irritated me. To be 100% fair though.... MY wife had earlier picked up a Wincheter "Trapper" in .22. That thing is to die for smooth, has a great trigger, "normal" cocking and cost less - a whole lot less. FWIW - I picked mine up the day my grandson was born. It was my intention to buy him a nice lever action .22 that he could have when the time came. I didn't want it to be a gift type of gun, I wanted it to be a "grandpa gun", something I shot and took care of then handed it off to him when the time came. LOL! Best laid plans and all that eh? |

Alexandra Angle :: Interior Design
Hmmm... What do I love most about this Fire Island home designed by Alexandra Angle? The pops of color throughout? Yes. The repeating stripes motif? Of course. The Omaggio vases (!!!) displayed in the kitchen and dining room? Definitely. The unapologetic cheerfulness of the entire space? OMG, yes! Were it possible to teleport (I have it on good authority that we're going to bust through that technological barrier any day now), I would be sitting in that hanging Tropicalia Cocoon chair right this minute.

I want to discuss what happened a few weeks ago at the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency.
The Saddleback Forum, hosted by Pastor Rick Warren, provided voters their first opportunity to hear Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain candidly answer the same questions.
After the debate, a lot of television pundits declared McCain the winner, saying that his decisive and straightforward style won him the night.
I support McCain and his straightforward speaking style certainly appeals to me, but I still think the pundits were missing something in their analysis of this forum. One question defined the debate for me – one question that distinguishes the true difference between the character of Obama and McCain. Warren asked this question: "At what point is a baby entitled to human rights?"
Obama said: "…answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade." McCain said: "At the moment of conception."
Here's my problem: I know Obama supports abortion – I just want him to be honest about his beliefs. In Illinois, he voted against a ban on the brutal partial-birth abortion procedure. Furthermore, he is endorsed by the National Abortion Rights Action League because of his continued support for legal, on-demand abortion.
Let's be honest, Obama does not believe that a person has human rights until that person is out of the womb. This past week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to back up Obama's cop-out by saying: "as an ardent, practicing Catholic, what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition."
Our generation, you and me, we are the most powerful pro-life voices this nation has ever seen. One quarter of our potential classmates and friends are not here because they never had a chance. We are a generation of survivors. We are the generation that is fighting for human rights not just in across the ocean, but here at home. Please join me. I am asking all of our leaders to be honest with us and with themselves. When does life begin? What do you really believe?
This week I want to leave you with a few very profound words from Cardinal Egan, a Catholic leader in New York: "We are blessed in the 21st century with crystal-clear photographs and action films of the living realities within their pregnant mothers. No one with the slightest measure of integrity or honor could fail to know what these marvelous beings manifestly, clearly, and obviously are, as they smile and wave into the world outside the womb. In simplest terms, they are human beings with an inalienable right to live, a right that the Speaker of the House of Representatives is bound to defend at all costs for the most basic of ethical reasons. They are not parts of their mothers, and what they are depends not at all upon the opinions of theologians of any faith. Anyone who dares to defend that they may be legitimately killed because another human being 'chooses' to do so or for any other equally ridiculous reason should not be providing leadership in a civilized democracy worthy of the name."
Well said, sir, well said.

Jorge Andres Rosano Gamboa selected his second-place images from a project he is currently working on. "Most of my work is about the idea of identity," he says. "I modify, transform or erase it. In the case of these images, I worked on how to replace the identity, like a game. The physiology of each person make us unique and recognisable: we do not choose the face we get, but we choose the clothes we wear, so this is another way to form our identity. The exercise was to flip the thing and dress the faces, so the people would be unrecognisable, transformed in a different form. I enjoyed the process a lot."
Jorge comes from a family that has been making frames in Mexico City since 1950. He studied photography for three years, became a graphic designer and now works in the visual arts, specialising in photography. He finds the market in Mexico City tough but is committed to continuing his professional studies in order to progress and innovate.
Jorge is about to go to Columbia for six months to continue studying. He hopes to exhibit his work there, and to then create an exhibition of the photographs he shot in Columbia on his return to Mexico.
