Captain's Report
Captain's Report by Capt. Steve
The 32 is Regulator Marine's second largest model in their line of offshore-capable fishing rigs. Regulator tells us that the FS or "Forward Seating" version adds family-friendly seating to the front of the boat, without taking away any of the fishing features of this North Carolina built boat. While seats are not new, and nice to have, to our eye, this is still a purpose-built fishing machine.
Bow Features
Starting at the front of the boat, the wide gunwales join to form a handy high casting deck in calm water, or a wider foot rest when working a fish. Pop-up cleats and a bow light that retracts into the deck keep the area free of obstacles to trip on or snag a line. A locker in the bow handles the anchor and line, but I'd like to see Regulator engineer an access for the anchor rode to feed from this locker with the lid closed. The forward seating consists of two large facing bench seats with comfortable cushions for seat bottoms, and coaming pads extend forward for the seat backs. Beneath each of the seats are large 52.5 gallon (199 L) capacity storage boxes that double as insulated fish boxes. Obviously a table can be installed here to create a comfortable place for lunch when at anchor. Women will love it.
Fishing Amenities
In the sole is a huge 161 gallon (610 L) insulated box for the majority of your catch. This fish box is outfitted with a pump out and macerator and none of the contents drain into the bilge, so your boat will not smell like last month's catch. When not used for fish, this box doubles as a rod organizer. Every lid on this boat is strong and durable, made by resin transfer molding. All compartments have locking latches and stainless steel gas-assist struts.
In front of the center console is another comfortable bench seat with a flip-up bottom that reveals a 74 qt (70 L) insulated cooler. The deck to both sides of the console houses in-deck rod storage lockers which are lighted and lockable.
Helm and T-Top
Everything on the helm falls right where you would need it. The old, standard Yamaha gauges used to be clustered on the top right corner of the panel. Now, four digital multi-function displays lie across the bottom and that really opens up the real estate for two large multi-function nav displays, and there's easy access from the head for installation and service. The controls for the stainless 14x22 Lenco trim tab are to the left of the wheel, and I was happy to see indicator lights to either side. Teleflex Seastar hydraulic tilt steering with power assist is now standard and it sure made driving this boat easy.
The fiberglass T-top has an electronics box with a flush mounted electronics panel, LED lighting, and built-in outrigger bases for either the 16' or 18' Lee Sidewinder outriggers. I like how the spreader lights are molded into the hard top.
The Head
The head has over 6' (1.8 m) of headroom inside. There is easy access to the battery switches, which are located just inside the door which is lockable. Access panels to the backs of the electronics and to the batteries are also inside. A sink, storage drawers and an electric head make up the amenities inside.
Leaning Post
The leaning post tackle center is optional and features seat back rocket launchers, a covered sink and baitwell. Down below, Plano tackle storage bins are at both sides and built-in drawers in the center. Tool holders are just above. In the cockpit deck abaft the helm is access to the bilge and all the pumps for the macerators, livewells, and bilges. At the transom, is an optional fold-away rumble seat and on top is a 50 gallon (189.27 L) livewell with the bait calming blue gelcoat; and a 32.5 gallon (123 L) fishbox. To starboard is a transom door for hauling in any catch that's too big to make it over the rail.
This model measures 32' (9.8 m) length overall with a stable 10'5" (3.2 m) beam. She has a dry weight 9,801 lbs (4,446 kg) with engines and carries 310 gallons (1,174 L) of fuel so you can run well offshore to chase the big fish. She has a maximum rated engine horsepower of 600 with twin outboards. Her wide Carolina bow flare and 24 degrees of deadrise deliver a wave-slicing smooth, dry ride and with the outboards trimmed all the way up she draws 24" and 32''with them down.The 32 FS delivered a solid performance and has top-notch fishability, fit and overall finish. But having been in several different Regulator models, I've come to expect nothing less, and I wasn't disappointed.

The clock stopped at 10:10. The hands couldn't have been more perfectly positioned. Through the ripped glass of its door was a smiley face. Or was it mocking us? Time had stopped; the clock was not ticking.
That has happened before, most commonly when I let it go beyond its seven-day winding. That's a simple fix, although it took some doing to synchronize the chimes with the time. Sometimes I didn't bother and it would faithfully strike 12 with the hands showing 6 and day just beginning. There were other days when I would have preferred the chimes to the time.
Then there have been occasions when time stood still, but not for a lack of winding.
The first I can document dates to September 1909.
In my grandfather's neat cursive on the inside of the door, he wrote:
"This clock was given to me by Rev. H. G. Quick Rector of Springfield Center, NY August 25 1909 on consideration that I repair one similar to this for him." It is dated Sept. 24 1909, Sewickley, Pa., and signed by my grandfather.
I can see him doing it. He kept good records. And he was good at making connections. Open a book from the shelf above his desk and inside the cover were clippings, either about the book or relating to the author, or the book's topic. He would have been a good librarian, but that's not where life took him. He was a preacher.
Clocks played a unique role for him. They were a form of therapy. As my father tells the story, a doctor advised him to get a hobby as a means of relaxing. The suggestion was repairing clocks.
My grandfather's workshop was filled with clock parts; from trays of tiny gears and spindles; to boxes with chains, weights and pendulums. There were jars of solutions where parts bathed, and bottles of oil with long, needle-like applicators. On his bench was an assortment of miniature tools, like screwdrivers no longer than a nail and tweezers. His workshop was a special place. It had a musty-oily smell and there was always a ticking, sometimes the heavy, deliberative rhythm generated by a slow-moving pendulum; other times, the racing tick-tick of a pocket watch. I loved it when he let me use a jeweler's loupe to get a view of the smallest mechanisms.
Long after my grandfather's death, my father gave me one of the clocks he inherited. It's nothing spectacular; in its era it was likely the equivalent of a Timex, a people's clock designed to be practical and cheap. It is a Chauncey Jerome made in New Haven. Jerome, who was born in 1793 and died in 1868, made a fortune selling lots of clocks, some for as little as 75 cents.
But my clock didn't end up being cheap by the time I got it.
My father probably spent a couple of hundred dollars before handing it over to me in splendid working order. It soon found a place in our kitchen, where it has been for more than 35 years.
During its tenure, it had to be cleaned and one of the springs was replaced after it snapped. It has kept good time until about two months ago, when it stopped at 10:10. The problem was obvious. It needed to be wound. I reached for the key, always perched on the corner of its case, but it wasn't there.
Had I put the key elsewhere, perhaps inside the case?
No key. I then searched the counter on the chance it had fallen.
Carol, too, hadn't a clue where it had gone. She removed everything on the counter, even looked into a potted vine that sits beneath the kitchen window.
A week went by and we intensified our search. Could it have slipped behind the counter? That seemed remote, as there is only a narrow crack, but stranger things have happened. I angled the beam of a flashlight into the crack to reveal a few cobwebs, but no brass key.
Another week went by. We would catch ourselves looking at the clock even though its tick-tock was silent. I tried keys from other clocks we have that, over time, have all gone silent. None fit grandfather's clock. It was always 10:10, that smiling face framed in Roman numerals.
I went through all the tools in the cellar, hoping to find something that fit the square key shaft, to no avail. I stopped at Place Jeweler in Apponaug, thinking Rodney might have spares. He didn't.
"How idiotic," it occurred to me, "For want of a key that had mysteriously disappeared, a clock that keeps time for more than 140 years was silenced."
Or was it me? Had I placed the key elsewhere and just forgotten? That was a more frightening thought that, thankfully, dissipated with Saturday's spring-like weather:
We were doing yard work and I had just switched blades on the mower to thatch the lawn when I spotted Carol frantically waving at me from the back porch. I shut down the mower. She was speechless – holding a rake in one hand and the clock key in the other. She found it pressed in the dirt outside the backdoor. The only explanation we could muster was that it fell into a can of sunflower seeds for birds she keeps on the counter. She must have tossed it to the birds one snowy day.
Now things are ticking again; and the chimes are in sync with the time. Could someone else be smiling at me?

South Florida home prices rose in December, an upbeat end to a year in which sellers regained the upper hand.
Broward County's median price for existing homes last month hit $230,000, the highest of 2012 and a 21 percent increase from a year earlier, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Realtors said Tuesday. Broward's median increased on an annual basis in every month during 2012.
There were 1,238 Broward homes changing hands, up 15 percent from December 2011. Cash deals rose 35 percent, to 549 from 407.
Palm Beach County's median price also rose by 21 percent in December, reaching $229,750, according to the Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches. The county had 1,184 sales – roughly half in cash -- a 15 percent increase from a year ago.
Sales and prices of existing condominiums also rose across the two counties in December.
After a long housing downturn, the market rebounded in 2012. Bidding wars broke out, pitting first-time buyers against seasoned investors. Homes sold quickly and the supply of properties dried up in many areas.
"You really have to know what you're doing to buy a home in this market," said Stephen B. McWilliam, immediate past president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Realtors.
"We expected 2012 to be a good year for housing, and it delivered in spades," Stan Humphries, chief economist for Zillow.com, said in a statement. "Strong demand paired with limited inventory in many markets helped fuel a robust and often rapid recovery in overall home values, good news for homeowners after years of poor performance. We expect this recovery to continue into 2013, but at a more sustainable pace."

Silvio Berlusconi angers Spain for mocking female cabinet
A heated row has broken out between Spain and Italy over whether women should be given powerful Cabinet jobs.
Silvio Berlusconi, who takes power shortly as Prime Minister of Italy for the third time, caused outrage in Spain after he suggested that the new Government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was "too pink".
Mr Berlusconi, who won a sweeping victory in this week's Italian election, told a radio station: "Zapatero has formed a government that is too pink, something that we cannot do in Italy because there is a prevalence of men in politics and it isn't easy to find women who are qualified."
Mr Zapatero, a self-declared feminist, made equal rights a centrepiece of his first term in office, passing a law making it compulsory for electoral lists and even company boards to be composed of at least 40 per cent women. This week he suggested that he would go even further in his second government by naming more women than men to his Cabinet. "Now he's asked for it," Mr Berlusconi said. "He will have problems leading them."
I dare say Mr Berlusconi is hardly flawless, but credit to the guy; he knows feminist bullshit when he sniffs it, and is happy to bring it's stench to people's attention.
I feel sorry for Spain with what appears to be a 'self-declared feminist' as a leader. I don't think it's a coincidence that Spain has one of the lowest birth-rates in Europe; 1.1 kids per woman. That's a sure sign of feminist infestation; a dying society.
Not that we in Britain can talk of course; the Labour party are a bunch of feminist/socialist scum and even David Cameron - supposed leader of the Conservative Party - spent most of his leadership acceptance speach waffling on about how he was going to fill the ranks of his cabinet with wimmin.
Still, it's nice to see that there's a leader in Europe who is quite happy to sneer and jeer at mangina wimmin-firster scum.

The western flank of Lhotse is known as the Lhotse Face.It is forth Highest Peak of the world
Mount Lhotse (8516) was climbed by a Swiss expedition in 1956. Its lower peak, mount Lhotse Shar 8383m, sometimes considered a separate 8000m peak, Mount Lhotse , which means "South peak" is a part of the Everest massif, just to the south of Everest. The primary route on mount Lhotse is via Everest's South Col. But by 1955, despite the activity on Mount Everest, Lhotse was the highest unclimbed peak in the world.
The first attempt on Mount Lhotse was by an international team in 1955. One member of the party was Erwin Schneider; during this expedition, he began work on the first of the series of high-quality "Schneider maps of the Everest region". The same Swiss party that made the second ascent of Everest in 1956 made the first ascent of Mount Lhotse from a camp just below the South Col.
Mount Lhotse Shar was first climbed by an Austrian expedition in 1970. Japanese, South Koreans, and Germans attempted from various routes on its main peak. Poles and Italians also climbed the summit before the summit was reached again by German expeditions in 1977.

This is the documentation for "Digitizing the S. D. Cabaniss Papers," an NHPRC-funded grant project which will run from January 1, 2010 through February, 2011.
The current grant "Digitizing the S.D. Cabaniss Papers", part of the "Digitizing Historical Records" effort by NHPRC, is funded for 14 months. The intent is to provide online access to the content in a low-cost, scalable model which simulates online the experience of the patron in the reading room. That is, the finding aid provides the descriptive information about the content, and from the finding aid, content in each series is linked in the order found in each file and box.
The method followed will keep the cost below $1.87 per page. If successful, it will prove to be a valuable model for mass digitization of huge collections for which institutions cannot feasibly afford the development of item-level metadata.
More information about the grant can be found [here].
Documentation of work flows, progress, processes, procedures, and access to software, are all available below.
The above link is to open source software we developed for you to use to implement this model of digitization regardless of your method of delivering the finding aid online.
This link is to the version of this software we developed and used locally for this project. Specific to our implementation and delivery system.

BOSTON -- Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone announced Tuesday he will resign to become a partner in a Boston law firm.
Leone's resignation will be effective April 29, Nixon Peabody LLP announced in a statement.
Leone will join the firm as a partner in government investigations and white-collar defense. Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown joined the same law firm last week.
Leone was elected Middlesex district attorney in 2006. His term expires in 2014.
"After dedicating myself to protecting and serving others and impacting lives in public service for the last 20 years, I'm excited about the opportunity to take on new challenges and provide service to others in a different capacity," Leone, 50, said in a statement.
Gov. Deval Patrick will make an interim appointment to fill Leone's job.
"Gov. Patrick appreciates Mr. Leone's 20-plus years of public service to the residents of the commonwealth and wishes him well in the next phase of his career," Patrick spokeswoman Heather Johnson said in a statement. "The governor will appoint an acting Middlesex district attorney in the weeks ahead."
Leone, a Hopkinton resident and Democrat, told his staff in January he would not seek a third term and he planned on leaving politics to "pursue other career opportunities."
Leone had hinted he was considering a run to fill former U.S. Sen. John Kerry's vacant seat. He later announced he was not interested and stuck by his pledge that he would leave politics.
There was some speculation that Leone would leave his seat early.
At the St. Patrick's Day breakfast in Lowell Friday, Leone used his time at the podium to reflect on his introduction to the Mill City with former state Sen. Steven Panagiotakos at his side. He also took time to thank several supporters throughout the city, making some observers think he was planning an early exit.
Leone was a first assistant in the U.S. attorney's Boston office from 2001 to 2005 before doing private security work for Vance/Garda and then running successfully for Middlesex district attorney in 2006.
Before that he was an assistant district attorney in Middlesex and Suffolk counties and became the chief of the attorney general's criminal bureau.
Leone's high-profile convictions include former Deputy Treasurer Robert Foley, "shoe bomber" Richard Reid, the first admitted al-Qaeda terrorist convicted in the United States, and British nanny Louise Woodward.
"In addition to Gerry's stellar credentials as a prosecutor and trial attorney, his energy, innovative spirit, and collaborative approach is an excellent fit with our firm's culture and priorities," Andrew Glincher, CEO and managing partner of Nixon Peabody, said in a statement. "Gerry's arrival is a visible example of how we are bringing value to our clients in new ways."
Middlesex Sheriff Peter Koutoujian, a former Waltham state legislator, has been mentioned as a likely interim replacement, as has Middlesex Clerk of Courts Michael Sullivan, state Sen. Eileen Donoghue, D-Lowell, state Rep. David Linsky, D-Natick, and former state Rep. Charlie Murphy, D-Burlington.
Panagiotakos said he is not interested in being appointed to the seat.
"It's a big loss for us. Gerry was the consummate district attorney. He came with more experience than anybody ever had to have for the job," Panagiotakos said.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe
12.10.10 by Jackie
Cordon bleu is a French chicken dish. I used boneless chicken thighs but you could use chicken breasts as well or even turkey. First, the meat is sliced in half, horizontally, so the chicken can be stuffed. A thin slice of cold cut smoked turkey (or traditionally, ham) and cheese are inserted into the slit. Then, the piece of chicken is transferred from an egg batter to a breading dish.
I pan-fried the chicken and finished the cooking in the oven. The chicken came out crispy on the outside and moist on the inside with cheese oozing onto the pan. The smoked turkey adds saltiness to the dish and pairs perfectly with the melting cheese and the milder chicken.

The redesign of Florida license plates is on hold.
The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles wants new license plates that are easier for toll booth cameras and red light cameras to read.
But the agency withdrew its request for approval by the Florida Cabinet Tuesday.
The DMV is tweaking the plan in part because of concerns by county tax collectors that private companies will be hired to issue the new plates.
Leon County Tax Collector Doris Maloy says collectors are not against the redesign; they just don't trust private companies to distribute the plates with the same level of customer service currently provided by the state.
"If the department wants to change Florida's plate design and reissue 15 million new plates over the next two years, tax collectors are prepared to do so," Maloy says.
Plus, she says a study commissioned by Florida Tax Collectors Inc. found no real cost savings to the state by outsourcing the work.
"That system would not only hurt customer service, it would cost drivers more money," Maloy says, "and that system would provide no real benefit to the people."
The DMV is expected to go before the Cabinet again within the next few months with a new proposal involving plate redesign and distribution.
Florida last changed the plate design in 2003.

SSS(Shoe String Shooter) is a low budget FPS game which attempts to achieve "next gen" look. The game has no specific theme so you might find dinosaours, ninjas, cars and robots all together in the same game. It will consist of several small levels or maybe some bigger campaigns and also online gameplay. I will try to include any mechanic that looks fun, and not necesseraly realistic. There is the intention of making it look like an AAA title, at least from the technology side. Since the budget for the assets is a little on the short side.

There's no need for jammersThere are only a few situations where having jammers is convenient. Cinemas, certain parts of hospitals, etc... But having a jammer in is counter productive and sometimes defeats what you're trying to achieve i.e. hospitals.
If a designated no cell area is properly defined why can't the walls be a little thicker or even a faraday cage implemented?

Re: There's no need for jammersI agree with what you are saying, but dispute your comment about "certain parts of hospitals". Cell phones may interfere with the use of certain pieces of sensitive equipment, but a jammer would therefore also interfere.
I do see a fallacy here that health care equipment is not properly shielded against such interference, but then again... a plane apparently isn't shielded either, if you really believe the steward/ess.

Which is also a huge load of bull. If there was even the slightest chance that an operating cell phone could bring down a jet liner, they'd be just as prohibited as firearms are.
Nick Coghlan (profile), 10 Feb 2011 @ 5:24amActually, they may have a valid point. If the US is anything like Australia, the rise of mobile phones means that public phones and private landlines are becoming less common. If you deliberately cut off mobile coverage in areas where mobile service is normally reliable, there may no longer be a convenient landline available as an alternative.

Somehow, it causes a secret smile thoughWhen you see the look on the faces of the zombies as their lifeline goes blank. People will sit in a turn lane all day because they are involved in a call and doing that and judging traffic for an acceptable opening would be too dangerous. They seem to awake from their trance and move along if the cell signal goes away.

I don't understand the angerMike, why so angry? You seem to be trying hard to find fault with everything that any government agency says.
The issue of security and especially 911 access is key. As others have mentioned, more and more people are ditching their home phones in favor of cell phones. Making it impossible for them to call, or making their call less informative by disrupting GPS service would certainly put people at risk.
Further, imagine criminal gangs using portable devices to great a "blackhole" in the cell network, making it impossible for victims to contact police. When it comes down to it, an extra minute is a long time for them to get away.
I am just really surprised that you cannot see the reasons for restricting these devices. I bet you would have a different opinion if it was a wifi blocker.

Specious argument"It wasn't that long ago that no one had mobile phones and emergency responding still seemed to work."
As others have pointed out, when no one had mobile phones there were other ways to get in touch with emergency responders - every store, restaurant, gas station, and bar had a pay phone and they were on half the street corners in any decent-sized town, and calls to 911 (or the operator, before 911) were free.
How many operational payphones have you seen in the past week? You could probably count them on one hand - if you've seen any.

Private PropertyHere's my view (for anyone who cares... heh.)
If it's my private property (say a nice family eatery), and I choose to make, as a condition of eating in my establishment, a rule that no one may use cell phones (kinda like the no crying children rule)... why can I not enforce that in the method I choose?
Yes, I could just kick people out... but that may not be the way I wish to go about it. I know the law says I can't interfere with signals, but as long as I control it such a way that it does not exceed my walls, what's the big deal?
On another note: What about the FM Modulators? Where did that land? If they're legal, can we not create a in-house system... say, stereo system... that utilizes that particular band so that incoming signals are drowned out while in my establishment? I'm not that technically savvy on cell phone bands, so I don't know.
One last question... if I'm not allowed to interfere with someone else's signal, then why the hell is their signal allowed to interfere with my speakers? I get that 3G ticking every time someone walks by with a Blackberry. >:( Way to be fair, FCC.

DaveL (profile), 10 Feb 2011 @ 6:56am
Re: Private PropertyThere are some good passive systems to restrict use of wireless devices on your private property. A fine wire mesh installed in the walls (think metal screen door material) and then grounded properly. A Faraday cage if you will.
The active jammers they are talking about in the article don't necessarily stop at your property line and are something completely different in my opinion.
ComputerAddict (profile), 10 Feb 2011 @ 7:39am
Re: Private Property"why can I not enforce that in the method I choose?"
You probably can, so long as it doesn't affect areas outside your property as DaveL pointed out, and you post a gigantic sign that says "Hazard, Radiation Zone" because if you though the radiation from your cell phone caused problems think about how strong the EM field has to be to overcome that.
In all Seriousness a prominent sign notifying people that this area has a signal jammer (so first responders knew they were going into a blackhole area) would probably be sufficient, again as long as it doesn't overflow off your property.

If it's my private property (say a nice family eatery), and I choose to make, as a condition of eating in my establishment, a rule that no one may use cell phones (kinda like the no crying children rule)... why can I not enforce that in the method I choose?
How you enforce your rules on your property is your business, BUT you are still not permitted to operate an unlicensed radio transmitter, and that's exactly what a cellphone or GPS jammer is. Like any radio transmitter, the signal will not magically stop at the boundary of your property, so now you are jamming the neighbour's cellphone too, even if he wants people to be able to use cellphones in his store.
If you really do want to completely stop cellphone use in your building, there is a very simple way to do it that's perfectly legal. Line the walls of the building with conductive metal foil. Cellphones, and any other radio receivers, inside the foil box will simply not get any signal they can use. This does not transmit anything, so is perfectly legal.
As for cellphones interfering with your speakers, That's your problem. speakers are not intended to pick up radio signals, and should be designed not to do so. If your speaker manufacturer decided to save a few pennies per speaker by not doing this, that's something you'll have to take up with the manufacturer.

Fogbugzd, 10 Feb 2011 @ 6:22am
We may already have a gps jamming system being installed.There is some concern that 4g phone systems block gps, at least near towers where 4g signals are strong.
EngineerZ, 10 Feb 2011 @ 6:25am"It wasn't that long ago that no one had mobile phones and emergency responding still seemed to work."
The reason cell jammers are a problem for first responders is that many agencies use 800 MHz Land Mobile Radio systems that operate in the band directly adjacent to cellular. Most jammers wipe out this band at the same time they are jamming cell phones. So when someone sets up a cell jammer it also takes out police and fire department two-way radios. When no one had cell phones, no one set up cell phone jammers and two-way radios were unaffected.
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2011 @ 7:01am
Re:Not to mention that some departments use 3G networking to drive laptops used in dispatch of emergency services. If one of their units is parked too close to a theater or next to some business that has chosen to block cellular, they could end up missing calls or messages that could cost lives.
Michial Thompson, 10 Feb 2011 @ 7:32am
I doubt they are refering to GPS RECIEVERSI doubt that they are refering to the jammers blocking the GPS Receivers. The frequencies aren't close, and not even the 4g transmitters could interfere...
What they are most likely refering to is the GPS Trackers that are used in the EMS vehicles to report their positions back to the mapping software that the dispatchers use. These tranmitters use normal GSM/3g/4g data channels of PCS phones to transmit.
As for interfereing with EMS, eve little mikee has posted a number of different articles about how landline phones are decreasing and cellular usage is increasing. So I would think that even little mikee could see how jammers would prevent cellular users from CALLING 911...
But then little mikee couldn't be over dramatic and super critical of the government finally cracking down using existing laws.
Overcast (profile), 10 Feb 2011 @ 7:33amPerhaps we are becoming a little too dependent on these technologies. I clearly recall on 9/11/2001 - that cell phone networks were jammed up anyway. I'd never really count on a cell phone in a situation similar to that anyway.
The mere fact that there's this kind of dependence of this stuff is unsettling.
As for 'terror' or 'organized' threats - in those cases, they would likely custom make jammers with far more power than these, maybe even something on the scale of a full 120 volts with a high-wattage power booster.

You do that one time, and for about 30 seconds afterwards you can watch the flurry of activity as people check their phones making sure there turned off......funny as hell....
Ron (profile), 10 Feb 2011 @ 8:40am
Yes, Jammer Can ...... hinder emergency responders. A while ago I was in a theater where a guy collapsed from a heart attack. Several people ran out to find the theater management. About a dozen more (yes, overkill, but, there was a guy dying in the aisle) called 911. The paramedics showed up within 3 minutes. The theater manager came in AFTER the paramedics to find out what was going on. Yes, we got emergency help before there were cell phones, but many venues like this are now run by quite a reduced staff so that it's more difficult to find help. The cell phone, and 911, removes at least one impediment.
Jesse, 10 Feb 2011 @ 9:10amIf you are in a packed theatre with a jammer and there is an emergency that could be a problem. There are also fewer pay phones today that before. Doesn't mean it's impossible today to get emergency help, but in an emergency seconds can mean life or death.
No need to overplay it, but the truth is it can be dangerous.

JammingThis is another example of a ridiculous and over-intrusive interference by the government.
A private business like a restaurant or a movie theater should be free to jam cell phones on their own property if they choose to do so. So long as the effect is confined to the property and notices are posted informing customers of its use, there's no legitimate reason why it should be illegal.
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2011 @ 11:28am
Re: JammingIt is not easy at all to confine a jammer to a given area. The propagation of radio waves (a jammer is nothing more than a transmitter) does not magically stop at property lines, it only falls off under the inverse square law. And there is no safe threshold, you might think the jammer signal might be weak at a given point in the space, but the real signal might be even weaker and be overpowered by the jammer. And even if it does not overpower, it lowers the SNR.
A passive measure (metal mesh forming a Faraday cage), on the other hand, only casts a shadow on the signal outside, and only if it is in the line of sight between the receiver and transmitter, and even then multipath and diffraction can work around that.
btr1701 (profile), 10 Feb 2011 @ 1:27pm
Re: Re: Jamming> The propagation of radio waves does not magically
> stop at property lines
I have a feeling that those big multiplex movie theaters that sit in the middle of acres of parking lot can safely contain their signal to their own property.
As for mesh wire cages in the walls, I can easily envision where even that could eventually be deemed illegal, given the current general attitude among the populace that it's their "right" to make a cell phone call whenever and wherever they please.

Lboden needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 87 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
We are a personalized gift company that creates custom gifts. Every item on our site can be personalized to the customers desire and is then shipped direct to home.
Our market is mainly adult women (24-50), often mothers/wives, but we also have some sports gifts and other items which attract both genders and people of all ages.
The logo should be very clean and the text of our company name to be easy to read. (ie. no overly flowery or ornate fonts)
The three words of our company can be combined into one: "personalizeitgifts", but we want it very clear that it is three words. Our old logo accomplished this by making the "It" a different colour, which worked well.
An image of a gift worked into the logo might work well, but is not required. We are looking for something a little more interesting than simply text arranged in some different way, though again, we are open to all suggestions.
We're looking for a logo that is striking. Whether this is achieved by contrasting colour or design is up to you. Thus far we have been attracted to more colourful and contrasting designs, but that is not a requirement. Have fun with the project and exercise your creative freedom!
The winning entry should be submitted to us as a 300 resolution layered Photoshop file.

PEORIA, Ill. (Nov. 29, 2008) -- With its first non-conference road win of the season already in hand, the ETSU men's basketball team heads out again to take on Missouri Valley Conference foe Bradley Saturday evening inside Carver Arena at 8 p.m. (EST).
The Buccaneers (3-2) and Braves (3-2) have never met on the hardwood, and this will be the only time during the regular season the Bucs will play a MVC member. ETSU is coming off a 78-65 win over Tennessee Tech earlier this week.
Live radio coverage of the game will be available on the MSHA Buccaneer Sports Network, while free audio streaming will be accessible at ETSUBucs.com.
For more on the game, see the game notes below or click on the notebook link located above.
Buc Shots
A seven-time NCAA Tournament and two-time NIT participant, the ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2008-09 season having come up just one win shy of the 20-win mark in 2007-08 and looking to avenge a hard fought loss to Belmont in the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament ... With a 19-13 overall mark and a third place finish in regular season league action (11-5) a year ago, the Bucs return their top two and three of their top six scorers from a year ago, led by first-team All Atlantic Sun selection Courtney Pigram (Memphis) ... The 6-1 guard will begin his senior campaign with 1,445 career points after having averaged a team-leading 15.8 points, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals a game last year .... Pigram will be joined by senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who helped power the offense with 14.6 points and a team-high 2.9 offensive rebounds a game last season en route to earning second team All A-Sun honors.
The series against Bradley
This is the first meeting between the Bucs and Braves.
Last time out
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 24, 2008) - Building a 14-point halftime lead and surviving a second half rally which cut that advantage to just three points, the ETSU men's basketball team picked up a win in its first non-conference road game of the season, downing in-state and former Ohio Valley Conference rival Tennessee Tech 78-65 inside the Eblen Center ... A short-handed Buccaneer squad - now playing without senior guard Jocolby Davis (wrist/hand) and freshman Seth Coy (foot) who was injured over the weekend when a teammate stepped on his foot in practice - got a game-high 23 points from senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), 22 points from senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), and junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) picked up his second career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds to pick up the win .. With the victory, ETSU improves to 3-2 on the year, while Tennessee Tech dropped to 3-1 ... While that trio spurred the offensive effort, the Bucs' defense was equally impressive, holding the Golden Eagles to 33 percent shooting from the floor and 22 percent from beyond the 3-point line. On the glass and in the paint, ETSU dominated 42-31 and grabbed 30 defensive boards to just 18 for Tennessee Tech. Offensively, the Bucs hit on 46 percent of their shots and were 78 percent from the foul line. But even with the strong statistical numbers, the Bucs still had to battle for the win.
After getting the lead to 16 on an early bucket by Brown in the opening seconds of the second half, the Bucs were unable to keep the Golden Eagles down. After a basket by Smith made it 46-34 with 16:11 remaining in regulation, Tennessee Tech put together a 10-1 run to make it 47-44 with 11:15 remaining on the clock. However, from there Tiggs scored 10 of his 23 to stop the Eagle run and build the lead back to 13 at 67-54 with 3:34 left on the clock. The Bucs iced the game at the foul line at that point, and never allowed Tech to threaten ... The first half saw the Bucs put together arguably their best all-around 20 minutes of season. As a team, ETSU hit on 45 percent of its shots from the field, 50 percent from beyond the 3-point line and 79 percent from the charity stripe, all the while getting the job done defensively by holding the Golden Eagles to just 29 percent shooting from the floor and 16.7 percent from beyond the arc. On the boards, ETSU held a 25-16 advantage, including an edge of 7-5 on the offensive glass.
Hamlin, Brown step up in Coy's absence
After freshman Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.) earned a spot in the Bucs' starting five, there was a lot of hope for the 6-11 post ... However, after a foot injury sidelined Coy for the Tennessee Tech game, the Bucs turned to 6-7 senior forward Greg Hamlin (Flint, Mich.) and 6-8 freshman post Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) to step in and pick up the slack ... The two responded in a fine fashion ... Hamlin posted his career best game, scoring eight points, grabbing seven rebounds, dishing out three assists and blocking three shots ... Meanwhile, Brown posted eight points and five boards ... The coaches would take a combined 16 points and 12 rebounds from the duo each night.
Pigram makes history with triple-double
With his 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Wingate (11/20), senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) became just the second ETSU player to record a triple-double and the first to reach that special feat in NCAA Division I-A play this season ... He joins former Buc Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) on that exclusive list at ETSU ... In Atlantic Sun Conference play, Pigram is just the sixth player to accomplish that feat since 1996-97, and he is the first to post a triple-double against a non-conference opponent ... A full list of those players can be found below:

Bartow picks up 200th career win, just two
shy of 100 ETSU victories
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow reached 200 career coaching wins as the Buccaneers defeated Wingate (11/20) earlier this week ... Bartow is now 201-146 for his career, a 58 percent winning percentage ... Bartow, the son of legendary coach Gene Bartow, is also 99-62 (.609) at ETSU, leaving him just two shy of 100 with the Buccaneers ... In his previous five seasons at ETSU, Bartow has averaged 19 wins a year.
Bartow adds three early signees to 2009-10 class
ETSU men's basketball head coach Murry Bartow announced Wednesday that the Buccaneers have received three national letters of intent for their 2009-2010 recruiting class ... Three high school seniors have signed the dotted line with the Bucs, a trio that includes 6-foot-3 guard Sheldon Cooley of Tampa, Fla., 6-foot-8 forward Lukas Poderis of Port Richey, Fla., and 6-foot-1 guard Bruce Grimm of Rochester, Ind. ... Cooley, who averaged 22.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 7.0 blocks and 5.1 steals a game during his junior season at Plant High School, has been a four-year letter winner on the Panther squad. He was the Western Conference Player of the Year in 2007-08, a first team All-Suncoast and All-Tribune pick, and a third-team All-State Class 5A selection. Along with multiple other player of the year and all-star selections, Cooley will finish his senior season as his high school's all-time leading scorer ... While Poderis is originally from Lithuania, he currently plays at Ridgewood High School in Port Richey, Fla., the same school that produced former ETSU standout Andrew Reed. Poderis has helped his high school to three straight 20-wins seasons, and a year ago he averaged 18.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 67 percent from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range. A 1,000-point scorer, Poderis was the Sunshine Athletic Conference Player of the Year last season, and a third-team All-State pick ... Grimm has been a three-year starter at Rochester High School, was a first-team all-conference selection as a sophomore and junior, while also receiving his team's most valuable player award. He averaged 20 points a game, while dishing out five assists, three steals and three rebounds a contest as a junior ... The Bucs are scheduled to have one more scholarship open for the 2009-2010 season.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 22, 2008) - Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball - marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 - the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to a new "Prestige" ranking released by ESPN.com ... The Buccaneers, who have enjoyed six NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT berth, seven 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85, ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. The Bucs also were placed ahead of every current member of the Colonial Athletic Association with the exception of Old Dominion ... In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as other major programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.
Smith stepping up in junior year
In his first three games this season, 6-foot-6 junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) has done his part and then some ... Currently, Smith is third on the team 14.6 points per game and is averaging a team-best 7.6 rebounds a game ... Smith is shooting 46 percent from the floor and has posted a team-best 2.2 steals per game ... Smith, who has scored 672 points in his career, was named a team captain and has fit that role well.
Non-conference home win streak at 18
Over the last five seasons, the Bucs have fared well against non-conference opponents within the confines of Memorial Center ... In fact, the Bucs have won 18 straight non-conference home games since losing a 90-73 contest to Fresno State back on Nov. 27, 2004 ... ETSU has wins over teams such as Marshall (twice), Tennessee Tech (twice), Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Morehead State, UNC Asheville, Eastern Kentucky, Radford and Appalachian State during that time frame.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 119-38 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the championship of the A-Sun Tourney... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center.

Apple quickly put a stop to thatthe Gym brendon Bag at Beach 10 Black Shopping HippoWarehouse x38cm 42cm disco Tote litres nYqEH8dw, and has now updated its app guidelines to explicitly ban background currency mining …
Apple objected to the practice at the time, arguing that it was in violation of App Store policy 2.4.2:
Design your app to use power efficiently. Apps should not rapidly drain battery, generate excessive heat, or put unnecessary strain on device resources.
Mining cryptocurrency potentially does all of those things, and Calendar 2 was removed from the Mac App Store until the mining code was deleted.
As Business Insider spotted, the latest version of the same clause now explicitly lists cryptocurrency mining as an example of an activity which would breach the rule.

MARTIN, Tenn. – Senior Blair Bowens poured in a
career-high 28 points and had five steals, Vivian Nwosu added 14
points, and Tennessee Tech attacked the boards with a vengeance to
overcome blistering shooting by UT Martin as the Golden Eagles
claimed a 61-55 Ohio Valley Conference road victory Saturday
The Skyhawk women Martin had one of their most balanced offensive efforts of the season, but Tech snapped down 21 offensive rebounds and had a 36-26 edge on the glass which ultimately led to the TTU victory.
Yalonda Davis and Alishia Glover netted 12 points each to lead the Skyhawks, who shot 53.8 percent from the field compared with 36.5 percent by the Golden Eagles.
Bowens hit five 2-pointers and went 9-for-13 at the free throw line on her way to Tech's highest scoring performance of the season. She had four rebounds and three assists in addition to five steals.
Nwosi shot 6-for-8 on her way to scoring 14 points. Senior Meagan Lyons added eight points and eight rebounds. Senior point guard Allison Price continued her streak of strong floor play, seeing 38 minutes of action with five assists and only three turnovers. Price has now played 147 minutes with just four miscues.
Tech held the Skyhawks to their lowest rebound total of the season, and only the fourth time this year that UTM was out rebounded in a game, the first in conference play.
Tennessee Tech continues to climb up the OVC standings, improving to 7-19 overall and 5-10 in the OVC, while the loss drops the Skyhawk record to 2-22 on the year and 0-12 in league play.
After UTM took an early lead, Bowens beat the expiring shot clock at the 16-minute mark to give Tech its first lead of the day at 6-4. The Golden Eagles went on to push their lead to as much as six in the first half, with the help of five three-point buckets, but the Skyhawks continued to hang around. The deep shot wasn't falling in the opening half for the home team, but over 50 percent shooting from the field overall helped them stay close.
A pair of free throws from Mitchell tied the score at 23 apiece with four minutes remaining in the half, but Lyons followed with another 3-pointer on the next possession. A pair of Simone Rutledge free throws with 12 seconds remaining in the half gave Tech a 28-27 lead at halftime.
UTM went up by five to open the second half, but Tech tied the game at 35-35, and scored the next six points for a 41-35 lead. The contest was tied twice more, before a three-point play by Bowens at the 4:43 mark pushed Tech on top to stay. Bowens added another 3-pointer for a six-point lead and the Golden Eagles nursed that to the finish.
The Golden Eagles, who have won three of their last four games, will host Tennessee State next Thursday at 5 p.m. in Eblen Center, followed by Austin Peay on Saturday at 7 p.m. Tech lost in double overtime to APSU earlier this year and in overtime to TSU.
Plenty of good seats are available for the game, with fans encouraged to wear pink and join the team in a "Pink Zone" event sponsored by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
For tickets, visit the Athletic Ticket Office in Eblen Center or call (931) 372-3940.

Of course, it will have already occurred to you, the Testimonial Reader Sans Pareil, that the Hunting of the Snark is essentially a thermolinguodynamic crusade against the Forces of Entropy which are such a blight upon our otherwise happening cosmic scene, a quixotic crusade which takes as its goal the discovery and capture of that counteracting force of vigorous chaos, scientifically known as Maxwell's Demon but which answers here to the name of Snark, possibly subspecies Boojum.
That being the case, all such reiterations as described above are rather counterproductive, expressing as they do patterns of orderly repetition conducive to further entropy, if not outright boredom and a comfy postprandial nap (on company time, naturally).
Every verse, every strophe and trope and kenning and galdor of our Snark Hunt is taking us only further and further away from our prey — every word we read and write plunges us deeper into a world not even of our own making!
And so, as the young Tolstoy once asked his demimondaine, what is to be done?
To which I reply: we must be silent. We must remain mute and dumb. We must not speak nor read … we must … look! And what do we see when we look at one another? We see ourselves as we really are, as inanimate tokens in the Snark's childish game, as the helpless objects of his middle-aged gaze! Disgusting!
