How to Find DUI Help
If you've been charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, also known as a DUI charge, you will need a lawyer. And not just any criminal defense attorney will do. You need DUI help from a lawyer who regularly represents clients accused of DUI (also known as operating a vehicle while intoxicated, or OVI, or driving while intoxicated, or DWI).
If you have never needed a lawyer before, it's understandable if you're not sure how to go about finding one. This article will explain the process of how to find and hire the very best one for you.
Finding a DUI Lawyer
If you cannot afford an attorney, the court may appoint one for you. A public defender, however, isn't necessarily free. In some states, there is a fee to apply for a public defender. (If you cannot afford the fee, it will be waived.)
Many of those same states have laws that allow the judge to re-assess your financial situation at the end of your case. If the judge decides you have some ability to pay, you may be billed a portion or even the full cost of your representation.
In most states, you may ask for an attorney while in jail or at your first court appearance, called an arraignment. Sometimes it's the judge who makes the determination whether you qualify for a public defender. Other times, it's the staff at the public defender's office.
If you do qualify for a public defender, you must accept the lawyer assigned to you. You do not get to choose which lawyer will represent you.
Whether you were involved in a DUI accident or are charged with aggravated DUI (also called felony DUI), if you do not qualify for a public defender, you need the help of aDUI lawyer. You should not try to brave the criminal justice system alone.
There are several ways to find a DUI lawyer. You can ask your circle of friends and family members to see if they have ever hired a DUI attorney. If they have, they can help you by sharing what they thought of their attorneys. Did the lawyers aggressively defend their case? Did the strategy work? Would they re-hire the lawyers if they had to do it all over again?
If you are hesitant to discuss your drunken driving charges with people you know, you can get a referral right here. Attorneys.com offers a service that can connect you with a DWI lawyer in your area.
Simply call us at 1-877-913-7222 or fill out the short form on this web site. After answering a few questions, we'll forward the name and contact information for at least one DWI attorney near you. You may call the lawyer directly, or he or she will get back to you within two business days.
Preparing to Meet a DUI Lawyer
It's not enough to have the name of a DUI lawyer or two. You need to interview them to find out which one is the right attorney for you
Many DUI attorneys are willing to talk with you briefly to introduce themselves and learn about your case. Take advantage of this offer because you can accomplish a lot at these meetings. You can:
- Learn more about the attorney's background and experience
- Discuss your options and possible strategy
- Determine whether this is the lawyer you want to hire
When you call to make the appointment with a DUI lawyer, the office help may want you to fill out a questionnaire. If asked, make sure you complete it and send it back ahead of your meeting.
You'll want to take some time to think of questions for the attorneys. Because your primary goal at the first meeting is to decide whether you want to hire the attorney you meet, focus on topics that will help you make that decision, such as:
- How much experience the attorney has with criminal law
- How much experience the lawyer has representing clients facing DWI charges
- How familiar the lawyer is with the prosecutor in your case and other people who work at the courthouse where your case will be heard
- Your legal options and possible strategy
- How much the lawyer charges in legal fees and expenses
Write your questions down and bring them with you to your first meetings. Bring also some writing material, so you can record the answers and any notes you want to take.
The DUI lawyers will also find it helpful if you bring certain documentation with you, including:
- Any paperwork from the court spelling out the charges against you and your next court date
- The police report, if possible
- Any other paperwork the police may have given you, such as a search inventory record
- Your bail papers
- A list of all the people involved in your case
That last item is important because generally, DUI lawyers may not represent you if they-or someone in their firm-have previously represented another person connected to your case. A prior relationship may cause a conflict of interest. So, be sure to include witnesses and victims on this list.
Meeting with a DUI Lawyer
When you first meet with the DUI lawyers on your list, resist the urge to blurt out your story. Let the lawyers ask the questions first. It's important they understand the prosecutor's charges and the evidence against you.
Do not hold anything back when answering the lawyer's questions. Lawyers who help clients with DUI accidents or charges of either misdemeanor DUIs or aggravated DUIs (also called felony DUIs), are bound by strict confidentiality rules that prevent them from repeating anything you tell them. Even if you hire someone else, all lawyers will keep your conversations confidential.
When it is your time to ask the questions, systematically go through your list, jotting down the answers. Does the lawyer seem in command of the local DUI DWI laws? Is the lawyer patient with you? Does he or she explain foreign concepts well to you? Can you see yourself working side-by-side with this attorney for several months?
If you have any special requests, you need to ask about them at the first meeting. For example, perhaps you need weekend appointments or communication in Spanish. Find out at the first meetings whether the lawyers can accommodate your requests.
Hiring a DUI Lawyer to Help You
When you are done interviewing all the DUI lawyers on your list, it's time to choose one to represent you. If you only met with one, but the lawyer is qualified in every way, your search is over.
If, however, you cannot decide between two or more attorneys, ask for the names and contact information for a few previous clients. Then call those clients to get some first-hand feedback about the lawyers. Ask the same kinds of questions above recommended for friends and family members who may have used a DUI lawyer in the past.
If you still cannot decide, it's time to ask yourself a few questions:
- Which lawyer had the strongest background representing clients accused of DWI?
- Whose strategy did I like best?
- Whose judgment and advice earned my confidence?
- Which attorney had legal fees and expenses that were fair and reasonable?
- With which attorney was I most comfortable?
The answers to these questions should point you in the direction of the very best DUI attorney for you. Once you have hired him or her, you can face the rest of the legal process with an attorney at your side.

DENVER (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced a woman to 27 months in prison for buying the handgun that was used to kill Colorado's prisons director last year.
Stevie Vigil pleaded guilty to buying the weapon that parolee Evan Ebel allegedly used to fatally shoot corrections chief Tom Clements when he answered the door of his home in Monument, about 50 miles south of Denver.
Prosecutors say parolee Evan Ebel also used the gun to kill a second man and wound a sheriff's deputy in Texas, where Ebel fled after Clements' death. Ebel was killed in a shootout with Texas authorities.
With Ebel dead, Vigil has so far been the only person to face a criminal charge related to the prison chief's killing. The 23-year-old was also sentenced to three years supervision. She had faced a maximum of 10 years in prison.

I have just been talking to a long retired draughtsman who worked on the development of new vehicles.
He told me of the works photographer who had a very unusual and ingenious take on the normal ring flash.
He would set a shot up to the point of clicking the shutter, then he would start a high wattage lamp swinging in wide circles above and around the subject; apparently it results in a completely shadow free photograph.
I love lateral thinking.
Yes what i great idea - light painting with a giant bulb.
Did he mention reflections at all?
Now.... Let's see.
At a shutter speed of, say, 1/125th of a second, what radial speed would the lamp need to swing at to get a complete revolution?
Or, conversely, how far away would the lamp need to be to avoid over-exposure at ISO 100 and an aperture of f/22 if a sufficiently slow shutter speed was employed?
ND filters?

Feeding TimeIsis let out a heavy sigh. For the past two weeks, her body had been growing weaker and weaker with the want of food, no matter how much food she consumed. Her throat had felt scratchy and she tried to soothe it with teas, but not even the strongest of her concoctions could slake her thirst. Her skin, too, was suffering; though she was already pale, her skin began to take on an unloving shade of white and the tips of her fingers and toes were beginning to turn bluish-grey. She looked like the walking dead.Feeding Time by renovek

Samara had been alive for the past 300 years, lived enough dreams and seen enough horrors for a million lifetimes. She didn't mind this life; the eternal youth and beauty had changed her from when she was truly alive. She didn't mind death anymore, or pain or suffering, as long as she was causing it. She was like a walking wrecking ball, leaving death and destruction in her wake. You see, Samara was a vampire, she hated that term, and she preferred to refer to herself as an eternal. She had only met one other like her, and she had to kill him. He was crazed and nearly wiped out all other eternals he had to be stopped.
Even living 300 years alone, Samara wasn't lonely, not until she met Serrure. Samara had always thought of herself as the most beautiful being alive, and it did not make her happy when she met a man with m

In truth his hunger was always with him. From the moment he woke up to the dreams he had while he slept, he could feel nothing else but the overpowering desire for blood. Steadying his desires and maintaining control of his mind was all too hard at the best of times, but he knew he had to, less he became the ravenous monster he feared he was inside.
However, Dontas could feel it building. He took a few breaths and tried to centre himself, placing his book down gently on the coffee table. He looked up towards the kitchen, Loki was chuckling away at something, keeping him distracted from what was going on in the living room. Good. Dontas didn't want Loki to see him struggling, not again.
He got to his feet and wandered slowly through to the bathroom, running the cold tap and splashing water on his face. He had to calm down, if he went out looking for blood just now he'd be at risk of attacking the firs

Slowing to a stop and opening its doors, releasing a flood of bodies pouring out and flowing in all different directions towards the many flights of stairs. One body paused as he stepped off the train, his dark eyes focused as they narrowed, checking his surroundings before moving off towards the stairs. Though his eyes where heavily rimed by dark bags his irises where bright and vibrant, a chilling electric blue that dazzled against his almost pure white skin.

Spielberg 3D must-haves
New 3D version of Jurassic Park hits cinemas this weekend
With the new 3D version of Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg brings his spectacularly successful 1993 film to a new generation of moviegoers. While its use of computer-animated imagery was groundbreaking when the film was released 20 years ago, modern 3D technology takes the story of cloned dinosaurs that get out of control to a whole new level. Spielberg made many other films that scream for a 3D conversion. We're not talking about The Colour Purple or Schindler's List, of course, but let's take a look at the range of Spielberg classics we think are perfect candidates for a modern overhaul.
Jurassic Park 3D is out worldwide on 5 April.

The Legal Blues Continue for These Tech Companies
Mohsin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The technology sector has been in the news for all the wrong reasons over the last few years. The tough competition in the sector forces companies to make compromises and push legal boundaries. This is the very reason that this sector has one of the largest number of lawsuits and infringement claims. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are the two most active companies in this regard, and are almost always in the news for their legal battles. The huge size and global presence of these companies makes them an easy target for accusers and their own misadventures.
Reduced Award
Apple is currently involved in dozens of infringement lawsuits all around the world to protect the unique identity of its iOS, iPhone, and iPad. Apple won a huge victory against its arch rival Samsung last year when the Korean company was fined a massive $1 billion for infringing on Apple patents. The decision also allowed for the damages to be tripled if the infringement was willful. This was considered a major victory for Apple in its war against other smartphone companies trying to sell high-end smartphones. More importantly, it was taken as the first major victory over Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android, the rival smartphone operating system that provides a user experience to rival that of iOS. Steve Jobs, the co-founder and late CEO of Apple had promised that he would conduct 'thermo nuclear warfare' against Android, and this was one of the first bombs dropped in that war.
Unfortunately, these days the bad news from Apple investors just doesn't seem to end. Last Friday a jury overturned the previous billion dollar award to Apple, slashing it by nearly 40% to $599 million. According to Judge Koh, the jury had made incorrect calculations on damages and a new trial was ordered to recalculate the damages. This new trial could means that the award of $450 million might be reduced or increased. The judge also said in her ruling that the court has found an impermissible legal theory on which the award for the 14 devices was based on. The market reacted negatively to the news, and the share price of Apple further slipped 2.5%. This is a major win for Google, because the entire Android operating system had been put under the legal microscope after Apple's victory over Samsung.
Microsoft's European Troubles
The software giant has been involved in some of the most high profile litigations of the last decade. The company has already faced legal scrutiny both in US and aboard for engaging in anti-competitive behavior. The PC industry might be heading downhill, but it seems that the legal troubles for Microsoft are still not over. According to a recent ruling by a European court, Microsoft was fined $731 million because it had failed to offer a choice of web browsers to new Windows users. The company had promised the court that it would provide such an option back in 2009.
According to the commission's investigation, Microsoft failed to give this choice to approximately 15 million users between May 2011 and July 2012. Reports also indicate that this is the first time that the EU's antitrust authority fined a party for not meeting its obligations. The total fine amounts to a mammoth 11% percent of Microsoft's quarterly profits and has a net effect of $0.087 per share. The software giant has already taken responsibility for the incident and cited technical issues as the reason for this massive misstep.
Bottom line
The last couple of weeks have not been good for US technology companies when it comes to lawsuits. Apple will continue its legal war against other handheld manufacturers, but I believe designs of competitors are becoming more unique now because other companies are also spending more on R&D. Apple will also have to increase its R&D spending, as it has one of the lowest R&D/Sales ratios in the industry. Meanwhile, Google should closely monitor the fines levied against Microsoft because the search giant is already involved in a dispute with the EU commission over ranking of search engine results.

The Park.it! app for Android has a great new feature to help California commuters plan their routes. The above screenshot shows how our app can show where highway incidents are on a map in the palm of a person's hand and let them plan their route around it. You can also tap an incident for more details, which looks like this:
The option to see highway incidents is shown when you search for parking spots and garages in California. This is because the data is from a California API listed in the AT&T San Diego Apps Challenge. It's awesome that localities around the world are getting their data out there to help their residents! Here's what the search results for a California spot look like:
Meanwhile, New York City searches still offer our great new parking sign lookup and color coding feature, developed for NYC Big Apps 3.0. The city of New York is actually running this sort of contest to encourage apps to use public data to help citizens for the third year in a row! Here's what the search results for a New York City spot look like:
We're proud that we get to work with such great data provided by such innovative programs. Just participating has helped motivate our team, gotten us a lot of feedback to help us improve, and helped us meet tons of other people in the industry at events like the NYC Big Apps 3.0 opening ceremony. In the future we plan to integrate this extra data into the main search results rather than having them on separate screens.
For developers, here's some great sample code on parsing KML files. This code, with only slight modification can parse both Google Maps KML files returned from searching Google Maps as well as California's highway incident KML files to extract marker locations. Hooray for open standards! You can learn a lot about KML from Google's KML Reference.

Mariah Huehner is a comics writer and editor. She is badass, as evidenced by her appearance on the New York Times bestseller list. In July she wrote the below entry on her blog. I didn't find it until by chance recently. In a nutshell, it's a documentation of her experience at a past Comic Con. I just think it's worth noting that this was not a booth babe, or a skimpily dressed cosplayer. Not that either of those things excuses the behavior Ms Huehner describes. But a lot of times, people outside of the situations like to commentate, and suggest that the way a woman is dressed has "something to do with it". It doesn't, and shouldn't, and that's why I'm reposting her entry. Anyway:
SDCC is rapidly approaching, and amidst the stress of figuring out my flight, hotel, booth duty, and what the hell I'm going to wear so I don't feel uncomfortable but also don't look crappy for 4 days…I'm thinking about two incidents that happened at my first SDCC (which is about 5 years ago now, maybe even 6) that have forever colored the way I view it and every other convention I attend, and likely will attend, for the foreseeable future.
In short: during the 2nd night, at the Hyatt, I experienced two separate physically and sexually threatening situations. The first was a groping that I was too shocked to register until the next day. The other was being cornered, touched, and made uncomfortable by two drunk men.
Both left me feeling shaken, upset, and like I had done something wrong. I kept thinking: how did I get in that situation? What did I do to provoke it? What mistakes had I made? How did I allow this to happen? Why didn't I make a huge scene? Basically, I immediately started blaming myself for being a woman who did not prevent someone else from making me an object. Something that I had absolutely no control over, did not deserve, and yet still feel responsible for in some way, to this day.
First, the groping. I was standing with a group of fellow professionals I had worked with for years. Most of them I knew quite well, one not very well. They were all drinking, I was not. I suddenly felt a hand trail down my back and cup my right…er…posterior. My stomach immediately flip flopped and I turned to the guy, shocked. He was talking to someone else and then stumbled away. He did not look at me once. I said nothing, because I had already started telling myself it hadn't really happened, I must have imagined it, who does that, no way.
The second happened about an hour later. I had drifted away from the group I had been talking to, to write an idea down in my sketchbook. I was against one of the large windows. There were many groups of people around, as there usually are. I did not notice the two men until they were towering over me. I was stuck and felt very small and uncomfortable. I looked around to see if anyone I knew was close by, but they weren't, and in any case, couldn't see me because these two men had neatly blocked me from view. I didn't know them at all and, the clearest thought I can remember when I realized I was cornered, is that I wished I was wearing my boots. I had left them at home because they're a pain to deal with at the airport. I was wearing flats after a day of standing on my feet, and I suddenly felt about two feet tall (I'm actually a little over five feet tall). They started asking me what I was so intent about, why was I so serious, what was I doing at SDCC, was I a friend of someone there. I said, no, I'm an editor. This was a mistake as they were then curious about why a girl worked in comics. They moved closer. I backed up, but there wasn't anywhere to go. I could tell they had been drinking, likely a lot, and for some reason I felt compelled to be…nice. I was scared to be mean or just get away, afraid they'd get mad or rough. I felt like I was stuck to the sidewalk. One of them men reached out and touched the front of my jacket, telling me I looked like a Tim Burton character. He tried to run his hand down the stripes and that's when I unfroze. All I could think of to do, because for whatever reason I just couldn't yell, I said…oh, I see some people I know, bye. And I quickly moved away. I had to squeeze myself against the window and duck. I practically ran to open the door and went up to my hotel room where I proceeded to have a very hard time sleeping.
My mind raced. I had every cliche thought you can think of. Had I been wearing something "wrong"? Not unless you think being covered from neck to ankles in baggy black, with a striped jacket is "revealing". Had I somehow suggested I wanted attention? Not unless being shy and a little freaked out at my first SDCC indicates that. Had I acted inappropriately? Other than a bit awestruck and not drinking (which might be considered weird at a convention), no. Had I, in short, done something to deserve what happened?
Although I am rationally aware I did not, and that you can't "deserve" being objectified in any case…emotionally, I was convinced I had done something wrong. Namely: that I had moved away from people for a brief moment, thereby allowing myself to be in an unpleasant situation. I had not been vigilant. I had not been "smart". The groping I felt less responsible for, because it had just…happened. And I was sort of convincing myself it hadn't, like somehow someone's hand would trail down your back and cup your ass by accident. I just couldn't process it. And it didn't occur to me at the time that experiencing both in one night was perhaps a lot to deal with and that I was having a panic attack. I felt sick, I remember that.
The rest of the convention I didn't really go out at night. I avoided the bar. I was at my industry's largest event, with all kinds of people I admired right downstairs…and I was scared to leave my room. I felt wrong, that's the only way I can describe it. I spent the rest of the convention nervous, on edge, and not because of how big it is or the fact that it was the first time I'd been there. That was overwhelming enough. I had wanted to be this strong, independent professional…and instead I felt like a groped, disrespected, thing.
I didn't feel like I could talk about it because I'd be confirming all the stereotypes about women being harassed at conventions…and I was worried people would blame me. That they'd say I should have done something different, not been alone, yelled…or worse…that it was something I would just have to get used to.
In the years since, I haven't had a single experience like it at SDCC or any other convention. And yet, it colors the way I view every nighttime event. I don't always have the option to go to something with a group, and professionally, going to the bars or hotels to interact with creators and publishers is important. It keeps you visible, lets people get to know you a bit in a more casual setting, and can lead to opportunities. And it can also be cool to run into the various other people who go to cons, you never know who you might get to chat with. It's supposed to be, you know, fun.
But for me, it rarely is. I can't not think about what happened that night. I still blame myself, if I'm being really honest. It's a big reason why I don't drink, although it's not the only one. I might have a beer I'll nurse all night, but that's it. There are plenty of reasons that's not a bad thing, and I don't wish I could get smashed. But I do wish I didn't have to spend every second being vigilant and on guard. That I didn't have to feel scared, way down, most of the time.
Women tend to get criticized for bringing up scenarios like this, because most people want to believe we did do something to "make" it happen. And I'm sure someone reading this will think, well, you SHOULD have been more vigilant. Honestly, it's exhausting. And no one can keep that up 24/7. Then there are the people who will say it was either complimentary, or I took it too seriously, or they were drunk so what did I expect? Well, I'll tell you what I didn't expect. To have my personal space invaded, to be touched without permission. No one should be assuming, no matter how drunk they are, that other people's bodies are a free for all. The fact that they did shows a profound lack of respect for me personally, and women in general. It's not a compliment, I can tell you that. As for taking it to seriously…no. Other people don't get to define what is threatening to me, and cornering a young woman in the dark is, by definition, threatening. Every man on the planet should know better.
And anyway…shouldn't the men, who acted like that, be responsible for NOT putting me in that position? Being a woman is not a reason to harass me or any other woman. Drinking isn't an excuse. Just…don't do that, okay? It's awful. And I won't be forgetting it any time soon.

The wine world is filled with its own jargon. Acronyms easily replace long complex words or drawn-out phrases. But what do they mean, and how does one use them?
In the next few weeks, we'll take a look at some of the nomenclature used in three major processes: wine growing, wine making, and wine tasting, all in an effort to get a handle on the terminology largely specific to this world. Today we'll look at wine growing. But, be careful. Sometimes, as they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Ready, set, go. Straight out of the box with his first feature Fast Girls, director Regan Hall has produced a fun and energetic film that, while no Chariots Of Fire, will leave you eager for the Olympics and, possibly, your running shoes.
Being Human's Lenora Crichlow is Shania, the feisty runner from the wrong side of the tracks (in this case, South London) with a lot of raw talent and a shopkeeper for a coach.
When she wins her first big race against the odds she is shunted onto the GB track squad and, unwillingly, onto the relay team, where she must compete in more ways than one with pretty, posh Lisa (Lily James) who has a slick, don't-mess-with-me ponytail and an attitude to match.
There's not much to surprise here, the main question being, of course, can the girls work out their differences in time for the Olympics, sorry, Championships?
Along the way they encounter Lisa's bullying father (played by British stalwart Rupert Graves), her more helpful coach (played by Kidulthood's Noel Clarke, who also co-penned the script) and Carl, the girls' physio and sometime love interest.
Crichlow has just the kind of solid natural charisma needed for this kind of lead and Graves the right amount of weak-chinned foppishness.
There' no denying it's cheesy and the whole girl power thing can get a bit much at times, but some decent acting, a high tempo soundtrack (featuring the likes of Labrinth and Example) and a good sense of its simple objective keeps the film on track.
The supporting cast, all of whom really do look like professional athletes after they all followed the same gruelling diet and exercise regimes as Crichlow, provide a decent backdrop to the story, the only exception being a half-hearted romance involving Carl and, well, you can probably guess, that never really gets going.
But then, like Bend It Like Beckham the heart of this story is its girls and, with bags of energy and a timely release slot just ahead of London 2012, they will keep you entertained for the full hour and a half. Any rom com that manages to stick to 90 minutes deserves a medal in our book.

Nancy Branham Awarded CVE Civilian Employee Award 2013
Date of News Release: 10/28/2013
(Morehead, KY) -- Congratulations to Nancy Branham, Admin Specialist II for Region 5, for receiving the CVE Civilian Employee Award 2013. Mrs. Branham began her position with CVE in 1988, where she has advanced from a data entry clerk at the Morehead Scale Facility to her current position as an Office Support Assistant II. Although this position is a "behind the scenes" function, it most certainly is a critical component of CVE. Along this exemplary course of progression, Mrs. Branham has become a most valuable asset to the division and the agency as a whole. Mrs. Branham's work ethic is second to none and her ability to multitask is astounding.
We appreciate all Mrs. Branham does on a daily basis, and are glad that she is a part of our team! Congratulations, again, Mrs. Branham. It is an honor that is well deserved.

Hill architect on the cutting edge of environmental building design
by Jennifer Katz
Muscoe Martin is at once a reminder to a distant past and a messenger of the future. His name, as old-fashioned as it gets, is a reference to his Southern roots, but when Martin decided to his open an architecture firm in 2006 his focus was on the future.
M2 architecture, the small firm he runs from a second floor office at 14 West Highland Ave., is a "green" boutique outfit aimed at the city's growing environmental movement.

Artist 'leaves' his mark by branching out into trees
by Lou Mancinelli and Len Lear
When you hear about someone sneaking into the woods with a few buckets, a number of scenarios might come to mind — some kids transporting supplies to build a fort, maybe. But in this story, that someone is a grown, bearded man. Maybe he's building bombs?
The less incendiary truth is that it's a local artist/art teacher (at Abington High School) sneaking into the woods to mix pigments in a mortar and pestle, as it has been done for ages, into colors he uses to paint primitive images on old trees. This is not something you see every day.
What are we afraid of?
As people around the country are busy redecorating their homes to put a little scare in the air, to make their typically well-groomed lawns look like temporary graveyards populated by the undead, a lot of Americans are busy getting scared by what they see every night on the evening news.
For starters, there are the political ads. I don't know who is scarier: Is it the could-be-a witch, Christine O'Donnell? Or is it Joe Sestak, who in a hilariously over-the-top ad by Pat Toomey, appears, Godzilla-sized and angry-faced, looming over the steps of Congress as if he's poised to tip it over and gobble up the Constitutional rights of average Americans?
Penn Charter soccer settles for tie
by Tom Utescher
Penn Charter's soccer team may have had reason to be a little overconfident when they traveled to Bryn Mawr last Friday afternoon to take on the girls of Baldwin School.
It's true that the Quakers were missing injured freshman sweeper Steph Soroka, but the Baldwin Bears had lost four starters since the beginning of October due to injuries and non-medical problems, and even when the Bears were in full strength last month, they fell to PC by a 6-0 score in the first game of the home/away series.
However, after Charter's first goal was matched by Baldwin in the opening period last Friday, the Quakers could not score again, going home with a 1-1 tie that moved their Girls Inter-Ac League record sideways to 3-2-2. The stalemate represented an improvement for the host team, which had lost each of its seven previous league matches.
This is Darla, she's being fostered. She's a rescue from down south. A real sweetie. So if anyone wants to adopt Darla, she's here in our hospital. She comes with Julie our technician."

We've moved!
Posting to http://thecarrothers.com/ now!
Amongst the flurries in an endless grey of snow, a man ventures into the cold heart of a storm. His goal lies beyond the grey. Beyond the flung flakes and ice. He risks it all for the most noble of causes.
He needs pictures to write a blog post.
In all honesty, I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS WEATHER. Snow just holds way too many fond memories for me, even though it puts Katie into some weird state of hibernation that limits her to only 3 ventures past her couch fort.
Perhaps I'm a son of Höðr (look it up) or maybe it's just my Canadian blood awakening to it's natural state of polar awesomeness, but whatever it is, it's how I was meant to exist. Which draws a sharp contrast with Katie's sub-tropical temperament…
The only problems I have noticed this day are:
1) I don't have a dog to explore the snow with
2) Strouds was closed, so I couldn't eat fried chicken
3) Katie wouldn't play in the snow with me
4) No Mario Kart…
Boxing The Shame Away
There comes a time in a man's life when he's met with a challenge. He is faced with the tough choices in life, that prototypical crossroads with the devil at one end, and salvation at the other.
My crossroads was whether or not to give up eating all you can eat Chinese buffets.
I'm a weak man that is easily corruptible through food. As I'm getting older, I'm also getting fatter. So I'm left with the choice - give up my love of buffets or continue down that salt and fat paved road.
I chose neither.
Enter Sweet Z's Gym. A place lined with blood, sweat and lost dignity.
As I was unable to part with my delicious foods, I turned to exercise to maintain and improve my increasingly soft body.
I chose Sweet Z's gym because, no matter what, all men have a desire to punch shit. It sounded like a ton of fun. And after the first few bloody nose's, gums and ruined shirts, it was!
See that picture? That's me FIGHTING a dude (his name is Andrew and he hits like the Hulk throwing a horse that is also a hulk).
Straight. Up. Gangsta.
He later got me in the kidney and I had to sit down and evaluate my life for a bit.
It's a fantastic place that's kept me in Buffet Eating Shape. That is to say, it's kept me skinny enough to convince my wife that I'm allowed to still eat buffet's.

Christmas In Nashville
As the seasons change and the sun falls low, snow and ice cover the land like a blanket that's too thin and short to keep you warm. Also there's a girl in this metaphor that keeps on stealing them from you and you have a hole in your socks.
It's cold.
But there's something warm beneath the surface. A tiny flame of pure happiness that swells and undulates the farther into December we delve. And it makes this weather not only worth it, but pleasant. Why you ask?
Which means this is straight up the greatest time of the year. Ever. And this year, we spent it in Nashville with Katie's family, and more importantly, Lola the dog.
We flew east over the gumdrops hills and candy cane forests…
Where we were met with lights and town squares covered in garland and ribbon.
Downtown Franklin was perfect.
But of course, no light show or southern charm can match the warm fuzzies that a dog can produce. I give to you all, Lola the dog.
She's a bit photo shy, so you have to pretend that your texting in order to get a photo…
And what Christmas would complete without badass hello kitty footsie PJ's?
Notice the difference below when Katie does not have her PJ's on… She was very upset.
But happy again once Lola stopped hanging out with me exclusively and gave her a 30 second hello (to return to my, superior, lap).
My ladies.
And of course, Nancy created an amazing tree that was covered in no fewer than 6 weiner dog ornaments.
My sidekick.

A golf MMO? Those krazy Koreans!
Broken English and hole-in-one hackers! Korean developer OnNet's "Shot Online" puts players inside a world populated by golfes and lets them golf together. A lot.. How exactly does this work out? I could tell you, but I'd rather quote something funny.
"A sample description [for one of the playable characters], this for Wotan: "Reticent and sincere. With a great sweat, he ranks one of the tops even though he lost his one eye in an accident. His nick name, Odin becomes him." If you're anything like me, first off, your wondering what is up with the names? Then you get hit with the broken-English translations, (which is a recurring theme). I had to laugh at this description numerous times. If he has a "great sweat", it does not sound like much fun playing 18 holes with him. Kind of like that underarm deodorant commercial where the golfer sinks a putt, raises his arms in victory, and the entire crowd, wildlife included, fall over from the apparent stench. Also, if he "lost his one eye in an accident", would not that make him partly blind? I would be pretty impressed if he still ranked as "one of the tops" then! "
The article does a good job of detailing how a golf MMO works, or doesn't work. You decide! The Shot Online review at MMORPG.com.

Former Meadowcreek High School basketball standout Teondre Williams has decided to transfer from Oregon for his senior year.
"I am transferring back down to the South," Williams told The Register-Guard.
We're not sure if by "the South" Williams is referring to Oakland, Calif., (where he was born) or in the Southeast.
The 6-foot-4, 218-pound was a reserve player as a junior at Oregon, averaging 4.5 points and 1.7 points.

April 25th, 2011
8:41 am
He is a reserve on a mediocre team in a mediocre conference with one year of eligibility left. Georgia State maybe. He's not even going to get a sniff from the big schools. I can not see him xfering to a school where his degree would be worth less than at Oregon, but dumber things have been done. The fact that he declines all interviews does not bode well, particularly after a coaching change. The young man should look at his long term future with a degree from Oregon, and not some last hurrah playing basketball, or feeling wanted by some coaching staff somewhere. Its over and time to move on with your life.

My favorite tomato pie recipe EVER! I prefer the parm version to one using cheddar. Absolutely the best when made with home-grown tomatoes and fresh basil. I have served to company and family, with rave reviews. MIne looks a little more browned on top and the cheese/mayo mixture melts down some; the one pictured looks almost like they haven't cooked it yet.

Speaker Back And Forth Motion Damping

Hi Guys
I usually post in the Quantum Physics section because that in my interest these days.
I have recently been in a rather heated discussion about an interesting device a speaker designer I know (Mike Lenehan) recently bought to market:
What it is designed to do is as the cones of a speaker go back and forth and the cabinet also goes back and forth in response and to damp it - it stretched some rubber the weight sits on that exerts a countering force and dissipates some of the energy in doing so. That's the simplistic explanation the designer told me and it sounded OK.
What I can say is it works on most speakers I, and others, have tried it on (not all but most - only 2 out of the 20-30 failed) - you get a better stereo localisation of sound exactly as you would expect from a reduction in the blurring caused by driver motion - the sound stage seems to just snap into place. And at least one of those was in a blind test.
However one guy on a Hi Fi forum I frequent thinks its all hooey. He claims its like a Helmholtz resonator and could not possibly work. I have a bit of an understanding of Helmholtz resonators and it didn't seem to be like that - it wasn't absorbing a well defined frequency but rather damping a broad range. I explained in all sorts of different ways what was explained to me but he is adamant - it cant work - and was quite uncomplimentary to what he thought was a total lack of understanding of the physics. It is a resonance device and cant do anything outside resonance. I always thought there was something called Q that if small meant it was more broadly based than a particular frequency but he thinks no - it cant work like that. I chatted to the designer and mentioned about the Helmholtz resonator and his eyes basically bulged - it is not a Helmholtz resonator. But the guy says he is a resonance engineer and gave me the following link he claims proves it can't work - it must be individually tuned to each speaker:
I have a background in applied math but that paper was beyond me in a casual reading.
The other issue is for some reason he seems to think if it actually did work as claimed there is no way it could possibly affect the distortion of a speakers tweeter. Now that really left me scratching my head - there is no claim about it affecting distortion - simply a blurring of the sound due to a fuzziness introduced by the back and forth motion of the speaker.
This has me beat - what do you guys think - does the resonance expert have a valid point - is it all hooey?
Jan3-13, 03:15 PM
My initial thought after seeing the print add for it was that it was a tuned mass damper type of device. Then I read the link to the ISVR paper, and that also provides more detail on that type of device. I don't think it's a helmholtz resonator.... that's an acoustic device consisting of a neck and acoustic volume to provide acoustic attenuatian at a specific frequency. I do agree with the audio guy that a tuned mass damper should ideally be designed for a specific cabinet. You'd have to know the structural resonance frequency of the cabinet top to match the tuned frequency of this device if it really works that way. The print ad talks about using concrete pavers to mass load the cabinet, which would drop the structural resonant frequency of the cabinet top to a much lower value. If the cabinet has structural resonant modes in the audio frequency range, then I suppose it could affect the speaker performance.... any wall compliance will affect the performance of the air spring that the cabinet creates behind the speaker cone. Adding mass and damping to the cabinet will theoretically change that response, so it's possible you can hear the results on any cabinet...or alternatively, if you know most cabinets are of a similar size, and use similar construction material, perhaps you can get the tuning of this thing close enough so it does work pretty well on most of the stuff out there?
Look for more papers on tuned mass dampers, or multiple vs single degree of freedom spring mass systems.

Reducing speaker cabinet vibration will reduce distortion. That much is sort of obvious.
So the question is whether this device does reduce cabinet vibration in a meaningful way. For good quality speakers, the answer should be "no, because there is no significant vibration to reduce". On the other hand, people buy good quality speakers and then mount then on flimsy speaker stands, or stand them on flexible wood floors, etc, so it might help it situations like that.
I would have thought it the design would only help damping out a "global" resonance of the entire speaker cabinet (caused by the way it is mounted, as with the above problems). In a typical "box" cabinet, each face of the box (expecially the front, which is the most flexible because it has some big holes cut in it!) will have its own set of resonances, and putting a damper on the top would only affect one set out of the six.

Hi Guys
Thanks for your replys.
Yea I don't think its a Helmholtz resonator either. I personally think its a tuned mass damper but with a Q chosen by ear to work the best subjectively.
Regarding cabinet resonance the guy that designed them builds his speakers lined with steel or even 1/4 inch thick copper plate to combat resonances and having heard them I can say going to such lengths is clearly audible.
I don't think we are getting any localisation information at such low frequencies - what I think its doing is the back and forth motion of the speaker as a whole blurs the localisation information at the upper and mid frequencies.
I had a friend over yesterday and we did some experimenting with it - it really is strange - subjectively it just seems to lock the sound stage.

text: content DHA helps preserve memory and brain volume Tuesday, February 28, 2012. The February 28, 2012 edition of the journal Neurology® reports a beneficial effect for higher red blood cell membrane levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, an omega 3 fatty acid) on brain volume and memory in older men and women. "To our knowledge, no prior study has related red blood cell fatty acid composition to subclinical markers of future dementia," the authors note in their introduction to the article. For their research, Zaldy S. Tan, MD, MPH, of the Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research and the Division of Geriatrics at the University of California at Los Angeles and colleagues measured red blood cell omega-3 fatty acid levels in 1,575 dementia-free subjects with an average age of 67. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessed brain volume, and cognitive tests evaluated various aspects of memory and mental function. Dr Tan's team found a reduction in total cerebral brain volume, visual memory, executive function (which includes organizing and multi-tasking) and abstract thinking, among those whose DHA intake was among the lowest 25 percent of participants compared to those whose intake was higher. "People with lower blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids had lower brain volumes that were equivalent to about two years of structural brain aging," Dr Tan observed. Participants in the lowest 25 percent of DHA also had greater white matter intensity volume, which is increased in small vessel disease and has been associated with an increased risk of stroke and dementia. The authors remark that DHA lowers blood pressure, reduces the risk of clots and decreases serum triglyceride levels, all of which benefit the vascular system and may help delay the onset of brain aging. "Lower red blood cell DHA levels are associated with smaller brain volumes and a 'vascular' pattern of cognitive impairment even in persons free of clinical dementia," the authors conclude. "The association between lower red blood cell omega-3 fatty acid levels and markers of accelerated cognitive and structural brain aging observed here should be confirmed in other populations and extended in the future to include dementia outcomes." Trial will evaluate omega 3 fatty acids for the prevention of mental illness in teenagers A double-blinded, randomized trial funded by the National Institute of Mental Health will examine the effect of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil in young adults aged 12 to 25 who are at risk for severe psychiatric disorders. Omega-3 fatty acids, which include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are necessary for normal brain function, and have been recently studied as possible therapies for psychiatric disorders in addition to being widely recognized as helpful in depression, arrhythmias and other conditions. The trial will be administered by researchers at Zucker Hillside Hospital's Recognition and Prevention (RAP) Program in Glen Oaks, New York. The RAP Program is a clinic and a research facility that works with adolescents and young adults to help prevent and treat psychiatric illnesses. The current study will compare the effects of six months of fish oil or a placebo on the subjects' clinical symptoms and school, work and social function. Participants will be monitored monthly at eight clinical sites. "Of the 300 adolescents who have participated in the RAP Program, most have shown substantial improvement," stated Barbara Cornblatt, PhD, who is the director of the RAP Program and investigator at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, headquartered in Manhasset, New York. "If this study continues to show success, omega 3 could offer a natural alternative to the range of medications and therapies now offered to RAP participants. Ultimately, the goal of the RAP Program is to intervene and prevent illness before symptoms get worse." The Top Ten Steps to Achieving Ultimate Health Today's consumers are inundated with contradictory medical claims about nutrition, anti-aging supplements and vitamins, making it difficult to choose a science-based program to protect their precious health and wellness. To take the guesswork out of what aging humans should do to extend their productive lives, Life Extension® publishes an annual list of the Top Ten best vitamins and nutritional supplements, including hormones, herbal supplements, and other nutrients. When compiling this Top Ten list, the primary factor Life Extension considers is the preponderance of scientific evidence that substantiates the biological benefits of the dietary supplements recommended. Next, Life Extension examines the cost-to-benefit ratio enabling consumers to obtain the maximum degree of protection at a reasonable price. This means that more expensive choices are ruled out if a lower cost item provides a similar degree of effectiveness. Finally, convenience plays a very important part.

Great room. My wife and I had a queen bed and each girl had a double bed. All three beds were surrounded each night by drapes on a pull out wall so we could have privacy. Great for a family of 4
The suite guests get to eat at Cagney's for breakfast and lunch. Cagney's for breakfast was a must do. I love food and the breakfast at Cagney's were excellent. The lunch was very good.
I would like to rate the main dinning, but we never at in the two main dining rooms. We took this cruise to enjoy all the specialty restaurants. All we very good and half were excellent. Every restaurant on this ship except the buffet cooks your found only when ordered. Since there are no fixed dinning times the galley does not have to churn out 1000 meals at once.because of this the food quality was better than any of the cruises we had taken. Freestyle cruising is best if you food is important to you. On our next cruise we will return to French Bistro, Italian eatery, Asian food. I am glade to have eaten at Cagney's for diner, but I like my steak cooked over a wood grill and it was not. Also, the teppan dinning was good but I have had better back home.
The chef's table was Fantastic. It was 10 courses and lasted over 4 hours. Too much food and wine was consumed and all great. The service was excellent. This is similar to Vitoria and Albert's at Disney World.

Kindle 2: Linux eBook from Amazon
Kindle eBooks have been around since the '90's, and although sales are still uncertain, Amazon has now upped the ante by not only releasing version 2, but also publishing parts of the Linux source code.
Linuxdevices.com has taken a closer look at the device. First of all, it looks good and is thinner than Kindle 1.While the display hasn't changed that much, the device now has 16 gray shades which help greatly with contrast adjustment. Pages turn 20% faster and thanks to the new user interface, turning the page, making notes and skipping pages has become a lot easier.
The SoC (System on Chip) is a Freescale I.MX31 processor, based on ARM11 architecture with a 532 MHz tact. Kindle 2 has 32 MByte RAM and 2 GByte memory with 1.4 available to the user. Large enough for 1.500 books, says Amazon. The original SD slot of its predecessor has been replaced by a mini USB 2.0 port and a 3.5 mm audio line-out has been added. Improved battery performance should keep the device running for four to five days.
Presently aimed exclusively at the US market, Kindle 2 will cost 360 USD, with downloads available via the 3G wireless Whispernet.
Source Code:
The source code for Kindle 2 can be downloaded here. The 138 MByte TAR.GZ archive contains a U-Boot 2.6.22 Linux kernel, Alsa, Busybox, Powertop, Gstreamer, Bootchart and other popular open-source programs. Developers are calling attention to the short boot-time and energy saving functions of the device. More information on Kindle 2 can be found here.
