Few advancements in espresso machine technology over the past fifty years could be called revolutionary. The latest advancement featured in La Marzocco's Strada Electronic Paddle (EP) is one that has earned that title. Pressure profiling was first introduced into the mass market in 2009 by the Slayer Espresso Machine. The La Marzocco Strada takes this new technology to the next level by allowing the barista to save up to four pressure profiles at any given time. Along with the ability to save profiles, each group has a digital display that shows the temperature (±0.1°C), shot time, and current bars of pressure (±.1 Bar). The Strada perfectly combines the durability and workmanship of La Marzocco with the technology of the future.
The TACKY Inlay Station is a wood pour-over stand beautifully designed for your viewing and brewing pleasure. The seamless "inlay" design gives the stand its name and also a unique look that anyone who appreciates fine wood craftsmanship will admire. The Inlay stand is available as a one, two, or three hole station and in a variety of woods. Pourover brewing is both delicious and artistic - the Inlay adds to the whole experience.
For most companies it's hard to find motivation for pushing out new products if you find yourself on top already. This is not, however, the case with La Marzocco. The Italian based espresso machine manufacturer continues to push the envelop when it comes to innovations in espresso machine technology. The newest line from La Marzocco continues their progression in the specific areas of temperature stability and pressure profiling. We've discussed the Strada Electronic Paddle version in detail in our Strada EP blog post and listing for the 2 Group Strada EP. The Strada Mechanical Paddle employs technology similar to the Mechanical Paddles on other La Marzocco models but with a few new features including individual pressure gauges, digital PID control, and dedicated group boilers.


text: INTRODUCTION Parents are a critical, if not the most critical, factor in the social development of children (Alvarado and Kumpfer, 2000; Conger and Simons, 1997). A plethora of studies have produced empirical findings that indicate parental behavior can either increase or decrease an adolescent's risk for delinquency and other problem behaviors (Elliot, Huizinga, and Menard, 1989; Loeber and Stouthamer–Loeber, 1986; Patterson et al., 1992; Sampson and Laub, 1993; Simons et al., 1998; Simons, Chao, and Conger, 2001). For instance, volumes of research indicate that supportive parent–child relationships, positive discipline methods, close monitoring and supervision, parental advocacy for their children, and parental pursuit of needed information and support (Huizinga, Loeber, and Thornberry, 1995; Bry, 1996; Alvarado and Kumpfer, 2000) consistently buffer youth against problem behaviors. In other words, parents who provide their children with respect, support, supervision, and consistent discipline are likely to be rewarded with children less likely to become involved with antisocial peers and in delinquent behavior. But when parents fail to fulfill these fundamental responsibilities, their children often suffer the consequences (Kumpfer and Alvarado, 1997). In fact, the evidence is overwhelming. A tremendous amount of research reveals that children are at risk of developing antisocial behaviors when they are exposed to ineffective parenting behaviors such as poor supervision, rejection, or harsh and inconsistent discipline. Specifically, research indicates that antisocial behavior of parents (Slavin and Rainer, 1990; Henggeler, 1989); unsupportive parents (Conger and Simons, 1997; Sampson and Laub, 1993; Gottfredson and Hirschi, 1990); physical and emotional abuse (Doerner, 1987); parent–child involvement, parental supervision, and parental rejection (Loeber and Stouthamer–Loeber, 1986; Cernkovich and Giordano, 1987); and parental monitoring, parenting techniques, and caretaker discipline toward children (Steinberg, 1990; Snyder and Patterson, 1987) have all been found to influence delinquent behavior. This research suggests that improving fundamental parenting practices should reduce problem behaviors. Today there are several major categories of interventions designed to improve parenting practices and thus prevent future problem behaviors. These programs include behavioral parent training, parent education, parent support groups, in-home parent education or parent aid, and parent involvement in youth groups. This section generically labels all of these "parent training programs." THEORETICAL CONTEXTParents can increase the probability of delinquency and other problem behaviors among their children because they serve as the primary socialization context for children (Simons et al., 1998; Patterson, Reid, and Dishion, 1992). The theoretical foundation for this relationship is generally grounded in theories of social control positing that delinquent acts are more likely to occur when an individual's bond to society is weak or broken (Hirschi, 1969). Under this perspective, the family acts as a socializing agent by introducing and endearing children to conventional norms and values. The theory argues that a strong affectionate tie between child and parent is one of the fundamental means for establishing this societal bond and thus insulating adolescents from delinquency and other problem behaviors (Brook, Whiteman, Finch, and Cohen, 1998). Unfortunately, poor family functioning or nontraditional family structures can inhibit the development of or decrease parental attachment and thus break the bond with society, separating individuals from the internal controls that discourage criminal behavior. Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990) argue that as a result of inept parenting, some adolescents tend to be impulsive, defiant, physical, and risk-taking (Stewart et al., 2002; Conger, Patterson, and Ge, 1995). Such youth are attracted more strongly to delinquent acts than those who have been socialized to possess strong internal controls. However, ineffective parenting is seen as a result of two factors (Thornberry, 1987; Simons, Chao, and Conger, 2001). First, parents and children tend to be similar in their temperament, personality, and cognitive abilities (Plomin, Chipuer, Loehlin, 1990). Thus, there is a tendency for impulsive, aggressive children to have parents who also possess these characteristics, and these characteristics tend to interfere with effective parenting. Second, recent research indicates that parent–child interaction is a reciprocal process. In other words, not only does ineffective parenting increase the probability of child conduct disorders, but also hostile, obstinate child behavior often elicits negative parenting behavior—resulting in a reduction in effective parenting (Patterson, Reid, and Dishion, 1992). Thus the personal characteristics of the parents combine with the difficult behavior of the child to create a volatile mix of antagonistic relationships. Consequently, it is imperative that delinquency prevention programs reinforce the parent– child bond as a means of preventing delinquent behavior. One way of reinforcing the parent–child relationship is to decrease risk factors and increase protective factors for delinquent behavior through parent training and family strengthening programs. These programs address important family protective factors such as parental supervision, attachment to parents, and consistency of discipline (Huizinga, Loeber, and Thornberry, 1995). They also address some of the most important family risk factors such as poor supervision, excessive family conflict, family isolation, sibling drug use, and poor socialization (Kumpfer and Alvarado, 1995). EVIDENCE OF IMPACTThis section examines the scientific research regarding parent training programs. These programs concentrate on teaching parents and prospective parents the use of effective management skills. This highly structured approach generally includes parents only, in small groups led by a skilled trainer or clinician. Programs are designed to help parents learn to recognize both prosocial and antisocial behaviors, employ social learning techniques (e.g., positive reinforcement, ignoring, distraction, punishment), and improve family problem-solving skills. Parent training can be beneficial even during pregnancy and early childhood, since parenting skills learned early can have positive effects as the child matures (Howell, 1995). Parent training sessions can occur in diverse settings (e.g., schools, community centers, churches, the workplace, or even at home with self-instructional programs) and under various types of approaches. Kumpfer (1999) outlines several of these approaches, including the following: ■ Behavioral parenting training is structured, delivered by a trained professional, and lasts for 8 to 14 sessions of 1 to 2 hours each. A curriculum and instructional aids (e.g., manuals, guidebooks, handouts, videotapes) are used. Positive reinforcement skills are taught and parents learn to decrease inappropriate punitive behaviors and chastisements. ■ Parent education programs are usually designed to reach a broader audience of families who are not necessarily severely dysfunctional, but who may be at risk. Parent education programs raise awareness of good parenting practices and better ways to discipline children. They also help parents learn how to determine if a child is abusing drugs or alcohol and to recognize other warning signs of delinquent behavior. Parent education materials may include videotapes, television programs, and brochures, feature articles in newspapers and magazines, and other written information. In addition to general media information, schools, workplaces, churches, and community organizations can offer parent education information. ■ Parent action/parent support groups are grassroots organizations that have gained in popularity in the past 2 decades. Some are national organizations with local chapters; others are ad hoc groups of neighborhood parents. Numerous researchers have found that parent training helps reduce aggressive, antisocial, and delinquent behavior among children (Dumas,1989; Satterfield et al., 1987; Tremblay et al., 1991; Tremblay et al., 1992; Kazdin, Siegel, and Bass, 1992).Several evaluations of this program found that participating 3-year-old children showed increases in IQ and cognitive ability and that more positive interactions occurred between program mothers and children (Bridgeman et al., 1981; Johnson and Walker, 1987; Johnson and Breckenridge, 1982; Johnson, 1991).Another parent-directed program is The Incredible Years Training Series: School-Age BASIC Training Program and ADVANCE Parent Training Program. The Incredible Years Training Series consists of programs that address family management problems, lack of commitment to school, early and persistent antisocial behavior, and family conflict. The BASIC segment is a 12-week parent training program that involves group discussion of a series of 250 video vignettes. The program teaches interactive parenting and reinforcement skills, nonviolent discipline techniques, logical and natural consequences, monitoring, and problem solving strategies. The original BASIC program (designed for children ages 2–7) and the program's permutations were evaluated extensively. In the first evaluation, 35 nonclinic families were randomly assigned to BASIC parent training or to a wait-list control group. BASIC programs caused highly significant attitudinal and behavioral changes in participating middle-class, nonclinic mothers and children ages 3–6 compared with the control group. Nearly all changes were maintained at the 1-year follow-up. In a second study, 35 clinic high-risk families with conduct problems were assigned to one-on-one therapy, videotape group therapy (the BASIC program), or a wait-list control group. The BASIC program was as effective as the one-on-one therapy, and both were superior to the control group in accomplishing beneficial attitudinal and behavioral changes (Webster–Stratton, 1984; Webster–Stratton, 1985).

As I've seen it in my general opinion Condos are basically everything good about the world all put into that one location. Everything you could possibly want just put inside a excellent little Hotel they call a Condo. Now these "Condos" are what you'll find to be so called "Paradises" especially if they're in the West Coast of the United States.
Here is an Example of what you'll find in a Condo... - Pools
- Suits - Computers - TVs - EVERYTHING!!! So the next time you think that Bill Gates is the "Happiest Man On Earth" think again. You know he is just bastardizing this whole world. Just know that there are people who are happier then him. So stop acting like a damn Sheep. Condos are what should lead you to success. |

I would caution against Do It Yourself wills as there is too much that could go wrong and is ultimately not worth the risk as cleaning up a mess takes way more time and money then preventing a mess in the first place. Estate planning attorneys will work with you on price and you can find one that will charge a reasonable fee. There are other sources such as legal services and wills clinic that may provide them for no charge. The durable power of attorney and healthcare directives are valid in a new state if they were validly executed in the old state. A hospital or other healthcare facility may provide a healthcare power of attorney and living will at no charge. Evan Guthrie Law Firm 164 Market Street Suite 362 Charleston SC 29401 843-926-3813 |

In Response to DIY Wills: I am thinking of using LegalZoom.com to write my own will. My assets are minimal with cash amounting to less than 20k. I own and live in a mobil home, which has minimal value. My question is whether or not I could undertake this task myself. Posted by skeezix202 I did use Legal Zoom for my will (5 years ago prior to a surgery) and was very pleased with the results. I used WORD to organize my thoughts and then transferred it to their paperwork. They put it into legal jargon. I am currently updating the same will. Adendum will have to be notorized as well. In NJ, will is submitted after death. My sister has a copy. |

Commencement speakers this week include Barbara Walters at Yale, Jenna Bush at Southern Connecticut State University
College graduation season in Greater New Haven continues with visits from a presidential daughter and the first lady of TV news.
This comes after commencement appearances last weekend by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and comedian Jane Condon.
Yale University's commencement activities rev up at 2 p.m. May 20 when TV news personality Barbara Walters gives the Class Day address. Last year's Class Day event featured actor Tom Hanks.
Yale's commencement is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. May 21. As in past years, recipients of honorary degrees are kept secret until the event itself, and there are no speeches by the honorees.
Recent years have seen such luminaries as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, singers Paul McCartney and Aretha Franklin and film director Martin Scorsese receiving honorary degrees.
The Southern Connecticut State University undergraduate commencement will be May 18, with the procession starting at 10:15 a.m. The ceremony will be held at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport.
Jenna Bush Hager, a contributing correspondent on TV's "Today" Show and daughter of former President George W. Bush, will give the commencement address.
SCSU's graduate commencement ceremony will be at 6:30 p.m. May 17 at the Webster Bank Arena. Christopher Korenowsky, executive director of the New Haven Free Public Library, will be the speaker.
Meanwhile, Albertus Magnus College will award about 670 undergraduate and graduate degrees at 2 p.m. May 20, at 700 Prospect St.

New leader chosen for Lake County Board
Updated: December 7, 2012 7:27PM
A changing of the guard at the Lake County Board on Monday included the swearing in of five new members and the elevation of 30-year-old board member Aaron Lawlor of Vernon Hills to the chairman's post.
"I want to thank you for your support and vote of confidence. I am so grateful to lead this body," Lawlor said after the unanimous voice vote.
Lawlor added that his rise to chairman came after meeting privately with members to discuss the future direction of the board.
"Over the few several weeks, I've had the opportunity to sit in many of your living rooms (and) at coffee shops and other places to hear about what your priorities are," he said. "We talked a lot about new ideas and ways to improve the issues that the board's already working on. Those were not passing thoughts. Those are now policy decisions for this board to evaluate."
Among those policy priorities, Lawlor said, are "pursing the extension of Route 53 vigorously" and delivering services "in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible."
Lawlor replaces board member David Stolman of Buffalo Grove, who was elected chairman in December 2010, a move that came with the recommendation of outgoing chair Suzi Schmidt.
On Monday, board Member Ann Maine of Lincolnshire put Lawlor's name in for the chair, saying, "He has consistently demonstrated a high level of personal integrity, the ability to bring people together to solve problems, and strategic thinking that is so often missing in today's world.
"It is (the) strategic thinking that sets Aaron apart," Maine said.
"It's an honor to serve as your chairman, and I couldn't do this without you," Lawlor said.
Carol Calabresa of Libertyville was elected to succeed Maine as vice-chair. Sworn in for inaugural terms along with Sauer were Sandra Hart of Lake Bluff (District 13), Steven Mandel of Highland Park (District 11), Mike Rummel of Lake Forest (District 12) and Tom Weber of Lake Villa (District 3).~.

Upson County Board of Commissioners Chairman Maurice Raines stated he was very encouraged when it comes to the LOST (Local Option Sales Tax) negotiations with the City of Thomaston and the City of Yatesville after the first mediation meeting held last week. Raines noted during Tuesday's Board of Commission meeting that the meeting went quite well.
"I am very encouraged and it was a very good mediation meeting," said Raines. "The city (Thomaston) has put some things on the table for us to look at and we are going to do so. I just wanted to let the community know that it was a very, very positive meeting."
A Notice of Mediation was filed at the end of August after the three governments failed to come to an agreement with in the 60-day negotiation period. If all three sides cannot come to an agreement within the next 60 days, then the issue will be resolved in Superior Court by a judge located outside the Griffin Judicial Circuit.
Yatesville Mayor Cecil Moncrief said Monday that during the mediation meeting he asked both Upson County and Thomaston representatives if Yatesville can continue to receive its two percent portion of the LOST. He said both sides agreed to that and he believes Yatesville's participation in the mediation is concluded.
Chairman Raines also reminded the public that the Board of Commissioners will be hosting a Town Hall next Thursday, October 18 to discuss what LOST is and how it is used throughout the community. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at the Civic Center. Everyone is encouraged to attend.

A pimpmobile is a term used to describe a large luxury vehicle, usually a 1970s-era Lincoln or Cadillac car, that has been heavily customized in a garish, extravagant style. Customized features such as headlight covers {known as 'Superfly Headlights'} hood ornaments, LOUD stereo systems, unusual paint colors, and shag carpet interiors, Mirrors on the floor/cieling of the car, were used by car owners/Pimps to advertise their purported wealth and major importance.
These customized vehicles were popular with pimps in the ghettos of large cities of the US in the 1970s and 1980s, especially New York City, Detroit and Los Angeles, as a way of symbolizing their power to their community. By the 1990s and 2000s, the term was used to describe any car that was too fancy/godi Pimpmobiles became part of popular culture when they were depicted in 1970s films such as Superfly and The Mack. In later days they also appeared in Austin Powers in Goldmember and Undercover Brother. The conversions became popular with Americans of all races, and several companies manufactured kits to convert late-model cars to pimpmobiles. The most popular cars for this customization were Cadillacs and Lincolns, especially the Cadillac Eldorado and Lincoln Continental produced between 1971 and 1978, although lower-luxury models, such as Chryslers, Buicks and Oldsmobiles, were also common. One notable exception is the "Corvorado" used in Live and Let Die, which was a Chevrolet Corvette with Eldorado bod... |

Bob Casey is the only change to the side that saw off Worcester and he has been named captain for his 235th and final appearance.
England international Delon Armitage will also be playing his last match for the Exiles before departing for Toulon, while Paul Hodgson and Kieran Roche, who are also leaving, are named amongst the replacements.
It is not just players who will be signing off, either. It will also be the final match for attack coach Mike Catt after eight seasons with the club.
"Tomorrow (Saturday) gives us the opportunity to continue the momentum we gained from the win over Worcester to take into our pre-season," said head coach Toby Booth.
"It will also mark the end of an era to players who have been great servants to our club. I am sure the supporters will turn up in their numbers to say goodbye."
Meanwhile, Gloucester head to the capital with nothing to play for but pride following a series of disappointing results that have dropped them down to eighth in the Aviva Premiership table.
Scotland international Jim Hamilton will captain the Cherry and Whites, who remain under the leadership of Carl Hogg following Bryan Redpath's departure.
Tom Voyce is named at full-back with Jonny May partnering Mike Tindall in midfield as Tim Molenaar is unwell. Ollie Phillips gets a start on the wing.
Darren Dawidiuk is preferred to Scott Lawson at hooker while Tom Savage comes in for Peter Buxton on the blindside flank. Alasdair Strokosch moves across from number eight to openside.
"It's been a difficult end to the season but we intend to go down to London Irish and challenge ourselves. It's a difficult fixture but one we're looking forward to," Hogg said.
"Training this week has been very buoyant, it's been very upbeat. It's our last game and the group have been enthused this week.
"As a professional, you take pride in going out and performing to the best of your ability and the enthusiasm and effort this week has been excellent. Hopefully, that will translate to the pitch on Saturday."
London Irish: 15 Tom Homer, 14 Delon Armitage, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Joe Ansbro, 11 Sailosi Tagicakibau, 10 Steve Shingler, 9 Darren Allinson, 8 Ofisa Treviranus 7 David Sisi, 6 Jamie Gibson, 5 Bob Casey (Captain), 4 Bryn Evans, 3 Leo Halavatau, 2 David Paice, 1 Max Lahiff.

I use a short steam box for bending ribs for kayaks. The ribs are 1/4 inch thick and 3/4 inches wide and usually less than two foot long. I use a long steam box for steaming coamings that go around the cockpit of the kayak. The wood for the coamings is about 7 feet long and 3/4 inches by 1-1/2 inches in cross section.
Step 1: Materials list
You will need a coat hanger or a few feet of heavy wire as supports inside the steam box to keep the wood off the bottom so heat can get to it from all sides.
You will need a cooking pot. A two quart size is good for starters. You can fill it two thirds full and generate steam for several hours.
You will need a heat source. If you plan on working outdoors, a camping stove works fine. If you work indoors, you can use a hotplate. The hotplate I use runs 750 watts. That is hot enough for the three foot steambox I use and just hot enough for the 8 foot steam box.
Since first writing this Instructable, I have gotten my hands on a wallpaper steamer. It works much better than boiling water on a hotplate, mostly because it runs at a higher wattage and puts out more heat. If you can get a used one, go for it.

Should this work to bend something like a bamboo cane ? have you got any tip for bending bamboo canes ?
It's better to bend the cane when it's still green ?
Thanks a lot for the instructable anyway =)
Thanks for your dedication. Then I'm going to tell you how I did the bamboo bending ( or make an instructable for it)
good luck =)
Good Luck with your work =)
Secondly, a 12 inch diameter by ten foot long pipe will take quite a good source of steam to get up to temperature. You will need something more than a one quart pot of water. Also, the pvc pipe loses heat, so if you put some insulation around it, you won't need as potent a heat source to get it up to temperature.
Thanks, pquin3
Your scheme for straightening the neck via steam and then locking it into a straight shape might work. And if it does, you would be the world expert and could write an instructable about it.
On the other hand, dried wood does not steam bend as well as wet wood or green wood, I assume guitar necks are made from well seasoned wood. Might be easier just to put a new neck on the guitar.
I have since found that a wallpaper steamer has higher wattage than a small electric heating pad and generates a lot more steam.
If you use one of those, you just drill a hole in the steambox the size of the hose on the steamer and run the steam right in.

[Release] Siginet's PLoP USB Boot Manager Installer Boot from usb even if BIOS does not support it!
Posted 07 January 2010 - 12:05 PM
In other words- simply creating boot.ini does not guarantee that you will be able to start PLoP this way.

In other words- simply creating boot.ini does not guarantee that you will be able to start PLoP this way.
As graphically explained in the linked page:
Normal NT 4.x/5.x booting:
MBR->bootsector->NTLDR->BOOT.INI->NTDETECT.COM->Windows 5.x
Normal NT 6.x/7 booting:
MBR->bootsector->BOOTMGR->BCD->WINLOAD.EXE->Windows 6.x/7
Normal NT6.x/7 with NT 4.x/5.x dual booting:
MBR->bootsector->BOOTMGR->BCD->WINLOAD.EXE->Windows 6.x/7
MBR->bootsector->BOOTMGR->BCD->NTLDR->BOOT.INI->NTDETECT.COM->Windows 5.x
The bolded part should be the link you are missing, you need an entry in BCD for booting a previous NT system.
Or if you prefer BOOT.INI is read by NTLDR and not by BOOTMGR.
There might be an exception, possibly a LONGHORN version, if I remember correctly.

"Test" was displayed upon reboot in bootmgr's menu.
Next try- rename ntldr to ntldr.bak. Upon reboot the new entry in boot.ini "test" is still displayed. Ntldr is not used in order to display contents of BOOT.INI, which is apparently read by BOOTMGR.
Haven't tested whether contents of BOOT.INI will be displayed if there is no entry for NTLDR in BCD.
What's interesting- selecting "Grub4dos" in BOOTMGR menu leads to error from BOOTMGR's
...File: \grldr...
....status 0xc000007b..
...the application is missing or corrupt
Rename NTLDR.BAK to NTLDR. Add to BOOT.INI:
d:\grldr="Grub4dos D" e:\grldr="Grub4dos E"and remove c:\dummy="test".
BOOTMGR displays
Windows 7
Go figure. First partition is hidden primary. It might be ignored by NTLDR, but counted by BOOTMGR. Won't go any deeper, this is improper way of adding new boot menu entries.
Proper and documented ways are:
Add the desired entry in BCD.
Or add an entry for NTLDR in BCD if not present, next add whatever you need to BOOT.INI and use BOOTMGR's "Earlier versions of Windows" menu to launch NTLDR, next launch whatever is needed from NTLDR's menu. This is only in case 2000/XP/2003 are already present, otherwise no point of going through all this.

"The sand floor and cabana-style tables give this place a great vibe, but the sand isn't for everyone (girls wearing expensive heels, beware)."
Unique venue that lives up to its name. The W is a beautiful hotel and the aptly named Beach is a venue that's definitely worth checking out. The sand floor and cabana-style tables give this place a great vibe, but the sand isn't for everyone (girls wearing expensive heels, beware). Nevertheless, the W actually supports a good number of worthy fundraisers in the local community, even more reason to check this place out.
The W's trendy rooftop bar brings the beach--sand and all--into the heart of downtown..
In Short
A grand staircase from the hotel lobby--which morphs into a chic lounge after dark--leads up to an outdoor oasis on the 4th floor roof. With warm, white sand underfoot, well-groomed groups dressed casually hip in designer jeans and shirts sip chardonnay and martinis while gossiping near the fire pit or lounging in large white cabanas. Light techno music gets louder and funkier as the night wears on.
Very unique atmosphere, great environment and vibe. Really unique and different spot that is one of a kind in San Diego. And if it's not great weather you can still enjoy the Living Room downstairs.

Going to see Batman? Check your costume
Updated: July 24, 2012 3:31PM
HODGKINS — Going to see "The Dark Knight Rises" Batman movie at the The Quarry theaters in Hodgkins or Yorktown in Lombard? Better check what you wear.
AMC Loews movie theaters announced Friday they will not admit guests with face-concealing masks and will not allow fake weapons in the buildings.
"We want all our guests to feel comfortable at our theatres and we will be closely monotoring," read a statement from the national chain, which in addition to The Quarry and Yorktown has theaters in Woodridge, Chicago Ridge and Cicero.
In Downers Grove, the Tivoli Theatre announced Friday afternoon it was taken precautions in light of the shooting.
"Effective immediately we will not allow backpacks or other large bags into the theatre," a statement read. "In addition, we will not permit guests to wear face-covering masks that conceal their identity. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust our security needs so that our guests may attend our theatres with confidence in their comfort and safety."

According to reports in the English press, Bryan Redpath is set to be demoted from the top job at Sale to accommodate John Mitchell's arrival.
Redpath, who joined the Sharks in pre-season from Gloucester, apparently has "no issue" with working alongside the experienced head coach.
However it would be hard to imagine Mitchell coming in as a number two, which means a possible step down is likely for the Scot.
Mitchell watched Sale defeat Cardiff Blues last week and is expected to travel to Montpellier with the squad for Round Two of the Heineken Cup.
"John may come to France this weekend. That sort of stuff is being discussed - how he will involve himself. I'm trying to concentrate on preparing the players and not really worry about other elements," Redpath told the Express.
"Every coach needs someone to bounce stuff off.
"We just have to concentrate on knuckling down and doing the job. Our egos have to be put to one side.
"I have no issues with John at all. My role won't change in many ways."
Meanwhile, Redpath spoke to the Guardian and explained that the club's form is the most important issue in the whole setup as the Sharks look to back up their Blues victory.
"It's about us getting back on track and winning some games, and we can't worry about reputations at the moment. Will that change over the next few months? Well, I'll worry about that over the next few months," he said.
"Obviously there's lots of chat about John and he's got a wealth of experience and if it does get sorted out we'll tap into that as much as possible. The rugby club's bigger than me. So I've got to make sure I do my end of the bargain and prepare the players properly to perform, and not get too bogged down with who potentially will be added to the staff and the squad."

I like to know who votes for this thing. He is probably having one or one of the worst years he has ever had and makes the pro bowl. Just curious to what you think?
I like to know who votes for this thing. He is probably having one or one of the worst years he has ever had and makes the pro bowl. Just curious to what you think?
Sure why not? It's a popularly contest and Ed Reed is very popular.
Do the players have a vote?
In some cases, maybe a player doesn't really have to "do" anything to be valuable-- I don't know if Reed is still at that level, but he sure used to-- kind of like Deion Sanders when he was in his prime- I mean if a player just causes an offense to simply not use a portion of the field due to his presence, I think that's pretty valuable.
It's good for the collective star power that will be advertised as being there to draw more fans to the event....
Meh, Pro Bowl..... who cares? Even less of a game than the All Star.
If anyone needs even further proof of the idiocy of the Pro Bowl, it's Ed Reed making it. That just about sums it up. Comical.
statically speaking absolutely not. He can't tackle with that bad shoulder any longer. He's lost a step or two and is guessing more and more to compensate for it. And getting burned more.
Having said that,
The NFL Pro Bowl voting is no different than the MLB All Star voting. Undeserving players make it all the time. It's called Fan Favorites right ?
I'm okay with it
I couldn't care less who makes or doesn't make the pro bowl. Haven't watched that farce of a game in years
Absolutely not.
Just like baseball...some players make it on past performance, others popularity and still others on having an outstanding year. Yes on Ed Reed!

Is Vet Pro fact or fantasy?
Quite a while since this thread had anything new and while there always seems to be interest in, and calls to offer Vet Pro classes, the reality is that this is poorly supported and suspect will go the same way as Dinosaurs and Championship Cruiser.
Just need to look at the entries for the 2012 Nationals to demonstrate the lack of support or interest in Vet Pro.
30+ Masters (a UCI Category), 7 entries.
Masters Cruiser, newly introduced as an Australian Catogory, 3 entries
Not even enough to form a class with these three being merged back into Challenge.
So does anyone think there is a future for Vet Pro at National level?

At state and national level it should be madatory, that if you have won a title in the previous year, they should be in masters in that event. Eg, if you have won a title in any 30+ class you automatically go into 30+ masters.
I am just a hack, competitive but not in the pointy end of the field, i am entering in Vet Pro, i make the fast guys work but am not strong/fast enough to win.
We all know there are plenty of riders that should be in A or AA but elect to ride age class, the governing bodies should step in and say they must irde the approriate class.
When it comes to state/national, i keep forgetting that masters is their, but really would not ride as the class should be filled with riders that would smash me, eg Tony Harvey and the like.

Quote from: Curly on October 26, 2007, 04:14:41 PM
I think the concepts you are talking about warrant further expansion as it's not just affecting the 30+ classes but the whole sport. If you have less than 16 riders in any class then combine age classes across the board as riding against the same people in every motto aint that exciting and does nothing for:
- improving rider skills through greater competition
- spectators watching the same people in the same motto time and time again
- race meets which drag on due to having 3-4 riders in mottos
You can always score the mottos based on rider ages when you have merged classes if you desire.
Bring on a general 30+ Class with a Vet Pro Open Wheel and Amatuer Open Wheel and that way people can race either or both and if there are enough competitors split it up with a 40+ class. Leave the 5 year bracketed age classes for the State and National events when you have the numbers to support it.
It's a shame a format that appeals to all riders hasn't been worked out. If BMX is to become anything more than a fringe sport with little growth prospects then it needs to make changes to add more excitement and interest in the sport.
For example, at Club events age classes are combined by ranking riders according to ability which makes for fun racing where everyone can compete at a challenging level. Yet this format does not seem to be adopted at open meets.
Because BMX is such a technically difficult sport like Tennis why keep grouping ages together because a 9 year old whose been riding for 4 years is going to be a damn sight faster than any new 9 year old. Grade riders on ability as it works in other sports and would make it more enjoyable for everyone. Age is only one factor in BMX racing so why treat it purely on this basis. Looking at the dynamics that have made other sports successful would be a good start.
There's a lot of options which I think BMX has yet to explore.
Here here. We grade A and AA pro,s but wont grade a 9 year old. Its the way forward. 30+ Vet pro and Vet Am would be awesome.

Vet Pro at a state level has some traction.
- 2 gates at each round of the Pro Tour in Vic.
- 2 gates in WA Super Series rounds for several years (riders also riding separate 20 inch age classes).
Fast 30+ riders are competitive in A Pro ..or higher...
Three of our Olympic hopefuls are close to Vet Pro age:
- KY97 is 28
- Brian Kirkham is 27
- Luke Madill is 32
None of these guys are looking to race Masters at Nationals anytime soon.
For Nationals there are too many 20inch classes for 30+:
- 30+ Masters
- 30+ Challenge
- 35-39
- 40-44
- 45-49
- 50+ years
At least 30-34 has been removed. Only the first two classes are UCI classes.......so BMXA / NOD could amalgmate other classes as:
- 30+ Master
- 30+ Challenge
- 40+ Veteran
- 40+ Challenge
This Master and Veteran are offered at a national level in the UK.
Seems that most Vet Pro at State level are 40+
Some of the most anticipated racing was 30+ Masters at 2009 Nationals; 29 riders including:
- Karl MUSTCHIN
- Daniel SPRAGUE
- Justin LAMB
- Simon ANDERSON
- Julian LIM
- Daniel YUJNOVICH
- Kamahl LORD
- Brett SCRUSE
- Jade MCPHERSON
- Marco DELL'ISOLA (GB import)
2009 Nationals was qualifier for Worlds in Australia and only UCI classes were offered:
30+ Challenge had 76 riders.

no aussie plated riders from last year have entered in 2011 which is dissapointing but i think you ll find most of these guys (including myself) have either moved on from the sport, had major work commitments etc . No too much to read into this the general numbers for Mt Gambier look low....elite men were 44 last year and only 27 this year... .
Most years the numbers in Masters are higher than elite women and there is no discussion on dropping that class nor should there be!
Lifting the age will not do anything to improve the numbers but only lower the standard of racing. I went to race Vet Pro in the us last year but had to race A pro as 12 months earlier they raised the age to VET Pro age to 33. Most of the rumours behind this were that it was to prevent ex AA's like Derek Betcher coming into the class and beating them....sounded like an old boys club to me....
the class is legit and is here to stay and will become more relevant as BMX gets older....

im 46 and quite happy to race any vet pro class if you can ride O/W as for instance i would ride my cruiser because of the worlds coming up and swapping bikes is a bit much nowadays.
i have a 1a plate but don't agree i should be forced to enter vet because of it you will lose riders if they have no choice!

But the other side to that is that we lose riders who don't want to go and pay the big bucks to go to Nationals and States just to make up numbers and see how much we can lose by. I don't agree with the 30+ as you have guys in there mid to late 40's competing with 30 year olds. Where is the incentive there? But then that puts them fairly and squarely in my shoes. I love riding with my kids and enjoy racing but am definitely fed up with lining BMXA and BMXV's pockets for no return. I know you guys can kick my butt, don't really need to pay for the proof.

Our Super Series in WA has a Vet Pro Cruiser class. I love it.
It's 30+ & it is always up the top of the race order so that we get to ride another class be it age 20" or whatever age cruiser you ride.
I don't feel that the age gap is a huge factor over here. There a plenty of 40+ riders that can shape up to the 30+ riders.

there are a few riders in vic at the moment who could ride vet quite competitively but don't turn up and support the class or ride age for the trophy,
in the end they lose out because avoiding guys your speed will ultimately make you slower and reduce your skill level.
so I'm more impressed by the guys who might not win but will push hard even to make the finals.
make no mistake about it some of the vet races are as entertaining as any other pro class, we have averaged about 12 vets at each pro tour round with at least 5 not turning up for what ever reason!

Carers to be recognised for hard work
7:40am Sunday 14th October 2012 in News
PEOPLE are being urged to help give county carers the recognition they deserve.
Redditch-based mobility manufacturer, Karma Mobility, is running a competition to highlight an unsung hero that looks after a husband, wife, child or sibling.
To enter the Karma Carer of 2012 awards, people need to send the name of the carer and why they think they deserve to be crowned the winner to email@example.com. People can also call 01491 578888 to make an entry.

As small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) take advantage of the compelling benefits of the transformations in their IT computing infrastructure they should also re-think how they deal with the corresponding vulnerabilities, threats and risks. Specifically, email security, web security and secure file sharing should be considered foundational security capabilities for every small and mid-sized business, in addition to anti-virus and firewalls.

The Seamless Summer Feeding Option is a federally funded program operated nationally by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered by the California Department of Education. Sponsors serve nutritious meals and snacks free to low-income children during the summer months. Summer programs are located at approved sites that are either located in low-income areas or otherwise serve a group of low-income children.
According to OUESD Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Maryann Hussey, "Many of our children, who rely on school breakfast and lunch during the school year, do not have the energy they need during the summer. That's where we come in, by providing nutritious meals and activities to keep kids nourished and engaged.
"Our responsibility to students doesn't end when school lets out. Students who get enough to eat and have safe activities to participate in during the summer are more likely to be successful. Our summer meals program is a building block in the community for healthy, happy kids who are ready to learn."
To find out about the Seamless Summer Feeding Option in Oakley, call Director of Nutrition Services Cheryl Wagner at 925-625-6852.
