Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dominic Devito The affordable W1v2 subwoofer incorporates patented features developed by JL Audio for their legendary W7 subs. Special venting keeps the W1v2 sub running cool for trouble-free performance, while extensive research in cone bonding and motor assembly construction keeps its cone movement linear for precise, dependable output. The cone interlocks with the dust cap for superior rigidity, and a sophisticated suspension system keeps internal parts aligned properly. The low-profile 13W1v2-4 13.5" subwoofer works best in compact enclosures, so you can put quality lows in smaller and hard-to-fit vehicles. It features a metallic-finish polypropylene cone with an embossed JL Audio logo for a look that stands out as much as the sound. The removable, customizable trim ring lets you put a personal touch on your system, and makes optional grille installation a snap. This punchy W1v2 sub works well with moderate power, delivering impressive performance without costing a fortune.

A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back.

The 13.5" allows for an extremely low free air resonance so when placed in the correct size enclosure it sounds amazing and hits really low and deep while remaining tight and accurate. I'm running a single 13W1V2-4 in a '09 Sierra powered by a J2 500.1 JL Audio amp which is about the max wattage allowed for this sub. I run the amp for the sub at about 50% to 75% with the stock BOSE system. I built a box for the truck (since there's not much out there) and it's a little over 1 cu.ft. internal volume. I used a pound of poly-fill to make up for the 1.5 cu.ft. recommended box volume. The pressure, sound quality and depth produced by this single sub is far superior to the 2 JL W0's I had before. I listen to all types of music (mainly rap hi-hop and trance) but I'm telling you Stevie Ray Vaughn's Little Wing sounds amazing to say the least and other blues and rock artists sound phenomenal as well. Highly Recommended. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No JL Audio 13W1v2-4 Written By GeorgeW, Ocean View, HI on Thursday, September 02, 2010 I have one of these in a ported box. I'm running a Kenwood 8104D 300 watt amp 1000 watt RMS peak. This sub bumps hard and is so clear. I'm looking to get another one for my SUV because I like the quality of sound produced. Was this review helpful? Yes No JL Audio 13W1v2-4 Written By Jesse, Georgia on Thursday, January 14, 2010 I got this sub and have been pretty pleased with it. Unfortunately the amp I got with it only puts out 200 rms at four ohms so i'm looking to upgrade at some point to a setup that will give me between three and four hundred watts instead. Due to the weak amp i have to crank up the gain to make it boom, but it hits pretty hard when powered right. It's said that bmw's are some of the toughest cars to get good bass out of but the jl does a good job filling my 735il. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Surround Stress Relief: By creating a radius feature on the edge of the cone, stress is relieved from the surround material at maximum forward excursion, resulting in longer life and more consistent surround behavior Interlocking Cone & Dust Cap: The W1v2's utilize a dust cap that is not just glued, but also interlocks with features molded into the cone body for a tight snap-fit. This creates a more rigid cone assembly and a more reliable dust cap attachment. Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, W1v2 motors remain linear in motor force over a very long range of excursion, and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. The result is vastly reduced distortion, faithfully reproduced transients, and tight, clean, articulate bass. Floating Cone Attachment Method (FCAM): JL Audio's patented FCAM technology is an innovative method of bonding the surround/cone assembly to the voice coil/spider assembly. This assembly technique ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment. Vented Reinforcement Collar: The Vented Reinforcement Collar (VRC) is a composite structure that addresses two issues related to reliability. Stress Relief: By reinforcing the critical junction between the cone, voice coil and spider, the VRC greatly reduces failures due to glue breakdown or material weakness. It does this by greatly increasing adhesive contact area and providing stress relief to the spider material at excursion extremes Air Flow: The VRC also features slots that facilitate air flow directly onto the voice coil windings. This reduces thermal compression effects and enhances reliability Insert Molded Suspension/Coil/Terminal Sub-Assembly: The W1v2 features a unique spider, coil and terminal subassembly which is assembled prior to installation in the speaker frame for optimum alignment and glue-joint integrity. This type of assembly ensures precise lead wire length, lead wire entry and exit angles; and coil to spider perpendicularity. Elevated Frame Cooling System: The elevated frame design of the W1v2 delivers cool air through slots directly above the top-plate to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression. Customizable Trim Ring: The woofer comes with a removable ring made of black ABS plastic which can be painted to match the installation theme and create a personalized look. You can purchase optional grille mesh inserts which are specifically designed to fit into the inner diameter of the trim ring. Enclosure Compatibility Recommended Sealed Box Volume: The sealed box size recommended by JL Audio is 1.5 cu/ft.

A St. Mary's judge ordered Friday that a Mechanicsville man remain in the county jail in lieu of $100,000 bond on charges of sexually abusing and committing a third-degree sexual offense in 2010 with a boy who was 12 years old.
The sexual assaults by Ronald Davis Pope, now 48, occurred on at least four occasions at a residence, during a time period ending in January of this year, according to charging papers filed by detective Cpl. Thomas Hedderich of the St. Mary's Bureau of Criminal Investigations.
"Further evidence was discovered that the defendant had produced child pornography at the [same] residence. That aspect of the [investigation] is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation," the detective wrote in a statement of probable cause. "The defendant is currently on house arrest, ... living in a [different] residence with a 14-year-old boy. Based on interviews, ... it appears that the defendant may have been grooming that juvenile for potential abuse."
The detective wrote in the charging papers that the suspect "made statements corroborating the criminal acts of the investigation."

Dustheads, 1982, By Jean-Michel Basquiat
Sold at Christie's, "Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Sale" (New York, May 15)
At the most profitable auction in history—with total sales of $495 million—the biggest buzz was arguably over this large Basquiat painting (measuring six by seven feet), which epitomizes the artist's raw, expressive style during the height of his career. The canvas easily set a new record for Basquiat, hammering for a whopping $43.5 million against a $25–35 million estimate. The previous high, established only last November, was a comparatively humble $23.5 million.

1913 Liberty Head Nickel
Sold at Heritage Auctions, "U.S. Coins Signature Auction" (Schaumburg, Illinois, April 25)
One of only five such examples known to exist, this Liberty Head comes from the last run of the coin, which was replaced in 1913 with a buffalo design. In 1962, the nickel's then-owner, George Walton, was en route to a numismatic convention with it when he was killed in a car crash. Though the coin was recovered from the scene and returned to his family, it was soon thereafter mistaken for a counterfeit. Reappraised in 2003 and identified as the real thing, the coin achieved $2.7 million against a $2.5 million estimate.

Circa-1575 Iznik Vessel
Sold at Bonhams, "Islamic and Indian Art" (London, April 23)
Connoisseurs perked up at the appearance of two rare Iznik vessels on the auction block. Dating from the golden age of the Ottoman Empire, the items came with a sales invoice from 1919, when they were bought jointly from a London antiques dealer for the then-substantial sum of £510 (about $2,000). Of the two pieces, which were sold by Bonhams as separate lots, this one-foot-tall surahi (or pitcher) aroused the greater interest. Distinguished by its red saz-leaf motif, it brought a stunning $580,000, eclipsing the $107,000 high estimate.

Green Panel (Ground Zero), 2011, By Ellsworth Kelly
Sold at Sotheby's, "Contemporary Art Evening Auction" (New York, May 14)
This painted-aluminum wall sculpture was one of 25 works sold to benefit the Whitney Museum of American Art's new Renzo Piano–designed building, which is under construction in downtown Manhattan and scheduled to open in 2015. Kelly—who is celebrating his 90th birthday this year, with several exhibitions timed to the milestone—donated the vibrant trapezoidal piece, an artist's copy from an edition of three. Modeled in form and color after his proposal for a grass-covered park at the World Trade Center site, the roughly 22-by-50-inch panel sold for $620,000 (est. $400,000–$600,000). The overall sale, meanwhile, realized a total of $19.1 million, including buyers' premiums.

Orgone Stretch Lounge, Circa 1993, By Marc Newson
Sold at Phillips, "Design" (London, April 25)
Ever since Newson's aerodynamic Lockheed Lounge chair broke the million- dollar mark in 2007, the iconoclast's limited-edition works have remained at the forefront of the high-end contemporary design market. This auction featured three Newson pieces, all forms that debuted in his seminal "Wormhole" solo exhibition during the 1994 Milan furniture fair. Phillips specialist Alex Heminway notes that their streamlined silhouettes "each have their genesis in the Lockheed." Leading the group was the aluminum Orgone lounge chair, which sold for $313,000, just surpassing its $305,000 high estimate.

En español | If a stint in the garden, or an overlong plane ride, sends your back into spasms, you're not alone: 80 percent of adults will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
Long work hours in one position can make us ache, as can day-to-day stresses that make us unconsciously stiffen. Inactivity can lead to weakness and stiffness.
Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter.
Even the simple habit of walking upright — our human birthright — adds to our back problems. "It puts a lot of stress on the body's core, which contains the spine," says Julie Silver, M.D., assistant professor at Harvard Medical School's Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and author of You Can Heal Yourself. As your spine ages, "you may get arthritis or slight bulges in the disks, or narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the nerves."
Treatment options can, of course, include medications and surgery. "If you can get similar outcomes with less invasive and potentially safer interventions, those should be your first choices," says Adam Perlman, M.D., executive director of Duke Integrative Medicine at Duke University in Durham, N.C..
Talk to your doctor about some of these nondrug options for back pain:
- Work with a pro. "Physical therapy can focus on strengthening core muscles" — the major muscles of the stomach and back — "and improving flexibility as well as stabilizing the spine," says Silver. She suggests physical therapy twice weekly for four to eight weeks, plus an individualized home exercise program.
- Get moving. "Do activities — long walks, biking, swimming — where you raise your heart rate and break a sweat at least three times a week," says Norman Marcus, M.D., a pain medicine specialist at New York University School of Medicine and author of End Back Pain Forever: Without Surgery or Drugs. "That helps back pain by blowing off stress and increasing the capacity of muscles to withstand prolonged activity. Without endurance, your muscles fatigue more easily and you're more likely to get injured."
- Stay strong. "As we get older we start to lose muscle," says Marcus. "Weight training helps us preserve muscle, including those that support the spine." If you're unfamiliar with weight training, Marcus recommends working with a physical therapist or exercise trainer who can arrange a personal program for you.

A harried John Mullett tore around the Ivy Tech kitchen Friday, back and forth from the stove to a prep table. He furiously stirred a concoction in a pan on the stove, then darted over to the ice machine. "Ice!" he bellowed, warning bystanders to get out of his way. He shoved a scoop in twice, filling a pan with ice, then raced back to the prep table, where he had to rein in his energy to painstakingly plate his food.
There was a good reason for Mullett's intensity.
He was in the throes of a cooking contest, one with a special prize: He was vying to be one of eight Ivy Tech Community College-Northeast culinary students who would win a trip to France to study culinary arts for two weeks in May.
Jeff Bunting, the program chair for Hospitality Administration at the school, said Ivy Tech has been doing the competition for about 10 years. Seventeen students participated in this year's Mystery Basket Competition: 11 who had four hours to plan, prepare, plate and serve a starter, entr�e and dessert; and six who had 4 hours, 15 minutes to bake and serve a chocolate dessert, a fruit dessert, a yeast bread and a decorated cake.
As if that wasn't hard enough, the students doing the starter, entr�e and dessert were given three "mystery" ingredients they had to use: a meat, a fish and a vegetable. They didn't find out specifically what they were until Friday morning.
A still-sweating Mullett sat down to talk shortly after he was done preparing and plating his food. Between drinks of water he talked about his fitful sleep the two days before the competition: He'd sleep, then wake up either with an idea or the feeling he was in the competition and something had gone wrong.
The only thing he was able to plan ahead was the dessert. He decided to go out of the box and try some molecular gastronomy. His pots de cr�me — sort of a creamy custard — was garnished with something akin to noodles made out of orange juice.
Mullett's "mystery" ingredients were grouper, pork and turnips. The Ivy Tech kitchen and pantry were stocked with all the other ingredients he would need.
The way the contest works, the students have a half-hour to plan their menu, then about four hours to prepare the food. They have a 20-minute window in which all three courses must be served.
Shortly after the mystery ingredients were announced, Mullett had a plan. The grouper would be used for a ceviche appetizer, in which the fish is marinated in citrus, "cooking" the fish without heat. It was served with a cucumber and scallion slaw.
He marinated the pork and grilled it. It was served on robuchon potatoes, sort of like mashed potatoes, except the potatoes are put through a ricer for an almost runny texture. Mullett's recipe is one pound of butter to two pounds of potatoes, plus a little milk, salt and pepper.
The turnips were diced and saut�ed.
While he was talking, Mullett retrieved from his pocket a rather soggy piece of paper in which he had timed out his entire four hours, so he would know what needed to be done when. On another paper he had written his menu, so he wouldn't get confused and forget what he was preparing.
It all went well until the last few minutes of plating. "Things were running really tight," he said. "It's stressful the whole time. It gets hot in there."
Mullett, 35, is in his last semester at Ivy Tech. He will graduate with an associate's degree of applied science, with a dual concentration in culinary and pastry.
He has big plans after graduation. Mullett will move to the Czech Republic, where he had three standing job offers. His plan is to stay there five years. "The food scene is really up and coming," he said of the country.
Mullett also has some big plans in May: He was one of the winners of the competition, so will travel to France for two weeks in May.

I suspect that Lincoln is being cautious with their oil recommendations, especially regarding break-in.
Most manufacturers caution against using synthetics during the break-in period. Internal parts need to wear in or seat. Often times, this doesn't happen when the engine is started off on synthetics.
After the break-in period, I think it's been proven that the synthetics have their advantages.Syncrowave 250 DX Tigrunner

Synthetic vs Conventional Oil
The major difference between Synthetics and "regular" oil is in the molecular structure. Conventional oils, refined and distilled from crude, have an uneven molecular structure, and have limits regarding hi and low temps.
Due to this "uneven" molecular structure, conventional oils are best suited during the "break in" of engines. Minor irregularities in castings and machining promulgate the use of conventional lubricants "filling the gaps."
In extremely low temps, conventional oils form sludge, and at high temps, the chemistry of the oil can break down into sulphurs, waxes, and promoting pollutants.
Synthetic oil, on the other hand, has a near perfect molecular structure, as it's produced chemically. These oils have been tested to -62F with no change in viscosity. Oil temps have been monitored as high as 400F without breakdown in chemistry.
The major drawback, is the price of synthetics. It can be a trade off of "insurance" for prolonging the life of an engine, once "broken in."
Those of us who are old enough to remember "Lithium Grease," have seen the extremely hazardous material, "Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate" virtually disapear from the industry.
The largest stockpile of this material was once stored at DOE's High Assay Uranium Enrichment Plant, near Portsmouth, Ohio. Once used as a catalyst in weapons grade Uranium, was all sold to grease (Nat'l Grease, Kansas City) and battery manufacturers (Union Carbide) in the mid 70's, about the time Mobil was perfecting synthetic oils.
It was a very caustic material and an extremely high respiratory irritant."Bonne journe'e mes amis"
I have always used RedLine in my bikes & Quads but when I am not using syn oil I use rotella...I still have 11 hr's b4 my first oil change on my 302..What are you guys using for filters?

You really can't turn a corner in this city without fawning over a precious pup or two. In fact, we think it's safe to say that S.F. has gone to the dogs. So much so that it makes getting from point A to B super lengthy (we just have to stop and coo) and pretty darn enjoyable. But, we have to be honest — it's not just our four-legged friends we're enamored with. Nope, we get a kick out of spotting the captivating owner around town, too.
Since we know the city is rife with pets and hip masters, we took to the streets to spy on canines and their humans. The results: 14 too-adorable-for-words pics that give bow wow wow a whole new meaning. Ready to get the cuteness rolling?

Gallery: Foster + Partners Unveil World's First Commercial Spaceport
New Mexico is well on its way to hosting the world's first commercial passenger spaceport as Foster + Partners' Spaceport America was dedicated this weekend. A partnership between the state of New Mexico and Virgin Galactic, the first-of-its-kind building is chock-full of state-of-the-art energy-saving features. Unfortunately, on the heels of the much anticipated project is a study showing that the fuel used for the space vehicles based there could significantly contribute to global warming. Turns out the spaceport, one of America's greenest buildings, will be home to one of its dirtiest forms of transportation.
Located near the city of Las Cruses, the projected LEED Platinum building uses site-appropriate design and deeply integrated technologies to reduce its energy consumption. The low-profile building rises from the ground like a small hill and is made from locally sourced materials. Visitors enter though a passage cut into the terminal's embedded mass. On either side, a series of earth tubes precondition the interior's air and a ground-source heat pump helps reduce HVAC needs by a substantial 50-70%.
At the core of the facility is a large solar thermal and electric array which also allows light to penetrate to the lower hangers. A series of apertures dot the roof, allowing more natural light throughout the facility. Since it's located in a desert, houses large equipment, and a large volume of people produce heat within the facility, it uses chilled beams in the public areas, radiant in-floor cooling, and displacement cooling in the large hangar to reduce energy demand. Natural ventilation takes care of the rest of the cooling needs. Water catchment, thermal mass, low-energy embedded materials and a slew other features ironically keeps the building well grounded.
The facility is expected to offer at least two space flights a day. Unfortunately, considering the overall environmental impact of the operation, could this incredible building simply be green window dressing?

Your only issue with "New Mexico"'s statement is the term "american hemisphere"?
November 1, 2010 at 11:49 am
@New Mexico:
America isn't a hemisphere.
October 31, 2010 at 9:53 pm
@GreenWin, it's not the heat from rockets that contributes to global warming with the transportation method here, it's the junk that rockets emit into the air.

This whole project is a british government terrorist swindle of the American taxpayers and ALL AMERICANS EVERYWHERE for free American cashflow so they can bring in their terrorist brit agents and debase and destabilize America in every conceivable way. The brits have a bomb to hurl against America and ALL THE AMERICAN HEMISPHERE, and we must take them down and out for the count or we can kiss our nation, our democracy and our freedom goodbye forever.
October 26, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Umm, what is important is progress in green buildings. If we are to whine about the extraordinary TINY amount of heat generated by the spaceplane's rocket – we have lost sight of the goal.
Unless and until someone invents anti-grav flight systems, space flight will continue to use combustion energy.

New 'Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock' Game Trailer Packed With Monsters [Video]
They say a functionally immortal time-and-space-traveling alien genius is only as good as the deadly monsters they face, and that certainly holds true for The Doctor. Possibly compelled by this insanely specific line of reasoning, Supermassive is putting out what appears to be the most polished videogame appearance yet of The Silence, the Cybermen and the Silurians in its Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock videogame.

It's hard to explain Anders Nilsen's Big Questions (Drawn and Quarterly, $69.95) without confusing people, because Big Questions leaves the reader with so many Little Questions, all of which sound entirely crazy. "Is the pilot really on the lam after murdering someone? How does he talk to geese, and what are the geese saying? Why does the snake feel such an allegiance to the finch named Alger? And the underground lair—is that animal heaven? Animal hell? Why isn't the finch named Charlotte there in the caves, sleeping with the other birds?"
There, you see? Crazy. And on one hand, Nilsen's graphic novel is as absurd as those questions—it's a 585-page story (notably bulkier than your average motel Bible) that took Nilsen 15 years to complete. It features about a dozen finch protagonists who are, confusingly, all drawn exactly the same way and set against a widescreen rural landscape. To keep the finches company, other animals drift in and out of frame: There are the eternally teenaged, shit-talking crows, the nervous squirrels—who always suspect foul play—and a few key humans who speak far less often than the finches (all of whom are quite intellectually capable and self-aware, if often anxiety-stricken).
While much of the book is idle chatter between birds—a sort of Seinfeld of the trees—the finches do have large-scale dramas to contend with, and their curiosity over the mysterious human world feels very much like human questioning of God: Some birds are reverent while some just want to keep their distance from the chaos the humans bring to the table.
But that's about where the thing stops making sense in any traditional way. Those familiar with Nilsen's previous works for the Fantagraphics imprint (which can look and read a bit like vastly expanded versions of Stanley Donwood's liner notes for Radiohead's OK Computer) know that he enjoys playing with the tension between philosophical crises and everyday bullshit, a torch Big Questions grabs and runs with, even if it makes some concessions in the way of plot resolution to keep the reader from going insane. Still, the book ends with some fortune cookie-style wisdom and a belch.
Of course, that's what's so special about the medium of comics. Big Questions
doesn't have to tie all the loose ends together to make for a
satisfying read: The satisfaction comes from watching Nilsen's talent
grow with each passing page and knowing that the epic comic you've just
finished is the artist's first, and also most recent, work of art.
GO: Anders Nilsen presents a slide show, reading and signing for Big Questions at Floating World Comics, 20 NW 5th Ave., No. 101, 241-0227. 6 pm Friday, July 29. Free.

First I needed to say, I love love this thread, you learn so much even about things you never wondered about it's great !Now to my question, when is the best moment for a quick workout?In a fit of enthusiasm I've decided that I'll try and keep a (at least at first) quick and basic workout with a few basic fitness exercises (those 5/10 minutes routines ones).I have all day free to do that whenever I want, but is there a best moment to do it? Before/after a meal?I guess not right after but I have low blood sugar problems so I cannot picture myself doing it without having eaten breakfast...I'm also in front of the computer most of the day, any tips or website about exercices and stretches to do during breaks?
This might belong in the Transatlantic Knowledge thread, but it really is a stupid question, so hopefully it also fits here.On a recent vacation in the US, Mr T was quite fascinated by the difference in the postal delivery system between "here" and "there". The biggest difference is the use of mailboxes at the ends of driveways to receive incoming mail (in the UK most houses have a letterbox in the front door, so post is delivered straight inside).He wanted to know what stops the mail from being stolen out of the mailboxes after it has been delivered?
And they don't have the time to ring the door bell more than one brief press - so you have to check the porch if you've been gone or aren't sure if you heard anything....because that one brief press might be enough the door bell to go "ri..." instead of "ring".

Page is 18 (and a half), so she's old enough to fuck, but not old enough to drink. Our cameras found her loitering outside the liquor store looking for someone to buy her a 6-pack of beer. She asks a couple of old dudes and they don't buy this piece of jailbait any beer, but they do promise to give her some cash if she does a little \'modeling\'. Page isn't exactly the model type. She's a total stoner chick and she's still got a little baby fat clinging to her -- probably the product of the munchies and all those late-night beer runs. But the kind of modeling they want doesn't require a perfect body and 2% body fat -- you just have to love to fuck. This is the first time she's ever had a threesome and probably the first time she's fucked a couple of guys who are at least her father's age, but these older guys convince her with a pocketful of cash and Page gives up her young pussy for her first three-way sex.

Have you guys tried the chat that's available in your identity box in the upper right-hand corner? It's part of a package of things I paid to have added - but I don't know how to use it or if it is valuable at all. Want to try it out and let me know? It has a blue "talk balloon" and says "Chat" right under "My Settings."
I can understand that if it was slowing down the main page for a lot of users moving it to a new tab makes total sense. I use Tabbed browsers (Firefox 3 and Google Chrome) so I normally have the chat open in a different tab while I am browsing/chatting.
Thanks for all the hard work you put in on the site Terry.
Yeah, I haven't really figured that out yet.
Looks like the Chat got moved to its own tab from the front page. I haven't a clue how that happened. I hope it was Ben who did it, 'cause I sure didn't.

Awesome Documentary Slams Ancient Aliens TV Show
I love this documentary. It does the job bringing real science to dispel the nonsense some of these researchers dish out.
I'd said before that the Pyramids weren't built by space aliens but by very, very, very smart Africans in Egypt.
Our ancestors were very sharp even if they didn't have air conditioning and indoor plumbing.
Re: Awesome Documentary Slams Ancient Aliens TV Show
That's a long documentary Greg but full of really interesting and useful info. I've been going through it at random points to learn something new. Helps a great deal in understanding and comparing archeology and known facts and history to the wild speculation that some of the UFOlogists are putting forth without much objective analysis. Thanks for posting this.

Re: Awesome Documentary Slams Ancient Aliens TV Show
Yes Charles it is a long documentary but well needed.
The public has been subjected to so much nonsense for so long regarding UFOs and so called "ancient aliens" that it was high time someone addressed it with some sanity and integrity.
I was looking forward to presenting similar data but this documentary did a great job and beat me to it. Many other UFOlogists hate me because I won't embrace the foolishness they dish out because I demand facts not fantasy.
Not saying that the possibility of alien contact is out of reach but the bottom line is that after almost 70 years of research not one shred of proof of any form of alien contact outside of bacterial has been presented.

I talked to a rep in the store looking for the non-backlit version a few weeks ago (before this one was available), and they did not have it. They said they were told to send all their original ones back and a new one would be available the first week of December. Since they still did not have them in-store, and this new one popped up, I'm guessing this is why. The non-backlit one was [$], this backlit model is [$]. So 4 cents more for a backlit capability? :-)If you closely compare the photos on the website between the 2, they are identical. So it appears the only difference is the backlit functionality.I ordered one with a ship date of 12/15, more to comment later!

Was looking forward to it since I can't type on the screen with my fat fingers. I liked how light and thin it was when i pulled it out of the box and it fit snugly around the phone itself. That said, try to take it out - practically have to use jaws of life to take the iPhone out of the case. That was my first con. Started using it and it worked great, function keys like keyboard and lock the screen are very useful. Keys themselves are pretty hard - could definitely benefit from using silicon ones instead. Keys are also pretty small and bunched close together, definitely better than typing on the screen but still will take some time getting use to. Function key and key arrangement is another thing to get use to, it is definitely different from the regular keyboard arrangement. Major con is that they keyboard doesn't stay connected. If I use it nonstop - no problem, put it down for an hour or 2 and I have to find something small and pointy because I have to reset the keyboard and pair it to the phone again before I can use it again. Very annoying. That was the last straw for me and I returned it.

Comments about Bluetooth® Backlit iPhone Keyboard Case:
I'm adjusting to the keyboard since I only received it last night. I'm amazed that it is a simple snap-on cover and talks to my iPhone via bluetooth (it's wireless!). One of the best features (when I adjust to it) will be not having to toggle between a numeric screen, alphabet screen, and special characters screen. I'm a very tactile person and after YEARS of keyboarding, just don't have the sensitivity in the nerve endings of my finger tips that I used to have. This just complicated my use of the virtual keyboard on iPhone. I had considered dumping my iPhone just for this one reason. THANKS a million. I also bought one for my sister and can't wait to see how she likes it.

First, the 1982 World Series film, narrated by the legendary broadcaster Dick Enberg. It starts with recaps of the NLCS, with the Cardinals' sweep of the Atlanta Braves, and the Milwaukee Brewers' dramatic ALCS comeback after falling behind 0-2 to the California Angels. Then, on to all the great moments of the Fall Classic: the 10-run, 17-hit attack by "Harvey's Wallbangers" that got the series off to a ringing start; Bruce Sutter's perfect closer performance in Game 2; Willie McGee's two homers in Game 3; Milwaukee's 6-run seventh inning in their Game 4 comeback victory (a rare World Series day game); Robin Yount's record second four-hit game of the series in the Brew Crew's Game 5 win; St. Louis staving off elimination with a blowout in Game 6; and the Cardinals coming back against the Rollie Fingers-less Brewers bullpen to win the exciting seventh game and take home the trophy. With great coverage of tailgating at old County Stadium, rare footage of mic's up managers Harvey Kuenn and Whitey Herzog during meetings on the mound and arguments with the umpires, and some other great surprises, this is a true classic for fans of '80s baseball.
Next is "The Road to Royalty: The I-70 Series", baseball's official film of the 1985 Kansas City Royals 7-game victory in the all-Missouri series. It starts with some brief season highlights, including Bret Saberhagen's 20th win, both teams' division-clinching games, and some of the great moments from the ALCS (George Brett hitting a homer against the Toronto Blue Jays) and NLCS (Ozzie Smith and Jack Clark homering off Tom Niedenfuer to win games 5 and 6). Narrated by the great Al Michaels, the film moves on to all the great moments of the Fall Classic: the Cardinals' 9th-inning comeback in Game 2 to take a 2-0 lead in the series on the road; Saberhagen's gem in Game 3; John Tudor's gem in Game 4 to put St. Louis up three games to one; Danny Jackson's season-saving performance in a 6-1 Royals win in Game 5; Don Denkinger's notorious 9th-inning blown call that helped the Royals complete a miraculous 2-1 comeback win; and the amazing blowout in Game 7 that treated the home fans at Royals Stadium to a championship celebration.
Finally, it's the 1987 film, "There's No Place Like Home", featuring all the action of the wild Cardinals-Minnesota Twins series. Also narrated by Michaels, it starts with a replay of ABC's pre-game broadcast booth analysis of the upcoming series, with Tim McCarver giving a slight edge to the Cardinals, and Jim Palmer predicting a Minnesota victory. Then, on to the great Series moments, starting with Harmon Killebrew throwing out the first pitch, and the Homer Hanky-waving fanatics cheering on the Twins to two easy victories at the Metrodome; Ozzie Smith starting the St. Louis phase of the series with his patented acrobatic flip, and unlikely heroes Tom Lawless and Curt Ford helping the Cards to a three-game home sweep; and Minnesota completing baseball's only home-team-wins-all World Series with victories helped by Kent Hrbek's grand slam in Game 6, and Frank Viola's brilliance in Game 7.
With rare, historic coverage that also includes stars Cecil Cooper, Jim Gantner, Paul Molitor, Ben Oglivie, Ted Simmons, Don Sutton, Steve Balboni, Buddy Biancalana, Hal McRae, Frank White, Willie Wilson, Charlie Liebrandt, Dan Quisenberry, Gary Gaetti, Kirby Puckett, Dan Gladden, Don Baylor, Tom Brunansky, Bert Blyleven, Jeff Reardon, George Hendrick, Keith Hernandez, Tommy Herr, Darrell Porter, Terry Pendleton, Vince Coleman, Andy Van Slyke, Joaquin Andujar, Bob Forsch, Todd Worrell, and many more, this is an amazing find for any baseball lover. Whether you are a fan of the Cardinals, Brewers, Royals or Twins, this is a must-have for your collection!

A squandered opportunity.
That's how Creston girls coach Larry McNutt described a 41-39 loss to Red Oak here Friday on senior recognition night.
In a much better performance than a 64-31 drubbing in Red Oak on Dec. 21, the Panthers came out strong with a 6-2 lead and 9-7 advantage after one period. Red Oak inched ahead 19-18 at halftime, but it was apparent that it was going to be a defensive battle to the wire.
"Credit to Creston and Larry," said first-year Red Oak coach Dan Martinez, who guided the Tiger boys program for many years. "They definitely had us defended. They sagged inside more and we didn't even look to shoot the three."
In the first meeting, Blake Bergren made two 3-pointers in scoring 17 points, and Kate Walker had a trey while netting 13 points. Six-foot center Grace Blomstedt had 14 points.
On Friday, Blomstedt managed a team-high 12 points, Bergren was limited to 10 and Walker nine.
"We got off to a good start and defensively we played well," McNutt said. "We really should have won. I feel sorry for the girls. If we keep them off the offensive board, we win that game. We need to take advantage of opportunities."
Instead of knocking off a team ahead of them in the Hawkeye 10 standings, Creston fell to 2-10 in the league and 5-14 overall heading into Saturday's game at Lewis Central. Red Oak improved to 5-6 in league play and 9-11 overall.
Brianna Maitlen, one of two seniors honored along with guard Emma Johnson, had 17 points to lead the Panthers. The other inside starter, junior Zaidy Frank, had 11 points.
"Creston got the ball inside effectively against us," Martinez said. "Their post players played well in the second half against us over there, and we knew they were good. That little 14 (Frank), she played a great first half. Her energy was above everybody else's — going after rebounds, going after loose balls."
After trailing 37-32 early in the fourth quarter, Creston got a bucket by Maitlen from a Chelcee Downing assist, and Frank got a transition layup off a steal to get it within one.
Maitlen's free throw at the 3:18 mark tied it 37-37. Walker scored to make it 39-37, but Maitlen tied it again for Creston at :52.
With under 30 seconds to go, Creston had the ball in a tied game, but lost it on a dribbling turnover.
Bergren seized the opportunity by getting fouled on a drive to the basket, and converted both free throws for a 41-39 edge with 11 seconds left.
Creston called a timeout at :09.
Downing's 3-point attempt was left of the rim, and time ran out during the scramble for the rebound.
"We were trying to get a screen at the high post to get to the basket and we didn't get to the basket like they did when they got up two," McNutt said. "If we get it to the lane we give ourselves a chance. We had a chance earlier with the ball when it was tied, but we lost it."
In addition to the two senior players, honored before the game with their parents were statistician Britany Irelan and cheerleaders Jana Johnson, Sam McDonald, Sydney Rogers, Carlea Schuler and Lauren Tucker.
Sophomore guard Brenna Baker sang the national anthem on a special "Color Blast" activity night, with the sale of tie-dyed T-shirts and other promotions to raise funds for cancer research and assist students fighting diseases. In addition, the Panther girls teams wore pink uniforms to honor cancer awareness.

After leading 38-17 at halftime, the Creston JV girls went on a 19-7 run in the third quarter on the way to a 65-36 victory over Red Oak Friday night at Creston Middle School.
Four Panthers scored in double figures, led by Taylor Briley with 16 points and four steals. Sadie Jones had 14 points and four assists, and Camryn Somers provided 13 points and 13 rebounds.
"We came out playing strong and did a great job of taking care of the little things," coach Mendy McCreight said.
Creston (65) — Taylor Briley 16, Sadie Jones 14, Camryn Somers 13, Olivia Nielsen 10, Alli Thomsen 6, Maria Mostek 2, Jenna Taylor 2, Brooke Thelen 2. 3-point goals — 0-2. Free throws — 13-22.

Red Oak (36).
Creston freshmen earned their second lopsided win of the season over Red Oak, taking a 43-11 halftime lead on the way to a 71-28 victory.
"We were moving the ball up the floor well," said coach Mallory Peterson, whose squad dominated transition with 19 steals.
Camryn Somers had 21 points and seven steals for the Panthers (9-5).

Much like just about everyone else on the grid, Charles Pic and Giedo van der Garde can't wait to race at the historic Spa circuit. For all the latest F1 odds on the Belgian GP, round 11 of the 2013 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet. Charles Pic: "I've had a great holiday with my family in France and it's always good to recharge, particularly with seven of the races in the second half of the season being flyaways, but now I'm ready to get back to racing. "The second to last European race of the season at Spa is one of the classic Grands Prix and there's a lot of history about the track, particularly when you look back at what it used to be like! These days it's obviously much shorter, and safer, but it's still a very good challenge in an F1 car, whatever the weather is like! "The main technical focus on Friday and Saturday morning is getting the balance right between the outright speed you need for the high speed sections, like the run to Les Combes, and the downforce you need to push in sector two - particularly through corners like Pouhon, which is very quick when you have the car set up well. Get the balance right and a quick lap of Spa is a very satisfying feeling - for the drivers inside the cockpit and the fans watching the cars through corners like Eau Rouge, it's what F1 is all about!" Giedo van der Garde: "I've had a pretty busy August break, spending some time down in Valencia with my physio to keep up the training programme, and then off to Italy for a few days of holiday completely away from motor racing, but now it's back to work at Spa. "Honestly, I've been excited about racing in F1 at Spa ever since the start of the season, actually probably for all my life! As there isn't a Dutch Grand Prix these days, the Belgian GP is the closest I have to a home race and I know there's going to be a lot of orange flags around the track, and a lot of support for me and the team all weekend. "I know we're not going to be in a position to fight at the front of the grid, but we'll still be pushing as hard as possible to beat our nearest rivals, and after the last race in Hungary I'm confident we can start the second half of the season in a positive way and put on a good show for all the fans who'll make the trip to Spa. I can't wait!"

Giro Hex Helmet
? Share a...
Love it!
Had this helmet for 2+ years (an older color but same one) and I absolutely love it. Super comfortable, cooling, stays in place, no issues, cool colors. I'm cooler wearing it than not! And it's a really reasonable price compared to other helmets.
M Ryan
Can fit a big noggin'!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I went with an XL because my hat size is 7 7/8. I happy to say that I actually had to tighten it a little to get a proper fit. The only issue I have is how the velcro is adhered to the helmet - it could be stronger, but as long as you're careful removing it, you won't have any issues.
Almost perfect...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This helmet is awesome. It fits great, is very light, offers excellent airflow, and is well padded.
The ONLY concern is the split in the pads in front. I sweat a lot, riding here in AZ, and it runs into my eyebrows. I don't love that about it but everything else is stellar.
Peter Taylor
Comfortable AND light
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Solid like the other Giro helmets I've had. Light, comfortable and vents well. Big win!
Ronen Sarig
it's waterproof too!

Great helmet, very comfortable, good air
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Rode with this helmet a few times now, very comfortable, keeps your head safe and cool and looks decent
Great helmet for the price.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Love the fit and finish of Giro helmets and this one is no different. Well made and comfortable. Pretty bright though, so beware of the green if you're going for stealth. On the flip side your easier to see on evening rides!
Protect your dome
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great helmet, stays in place, not the lightest but has great ventilation.
Does this helmet fit true to size?

Good helmet
This is a good all-around mountain bike helmet that has plenty of vents and a good fit. The rear RocLoc 5 adjustment works well to ensure proper fitting of the lid, but there are indeed better half shells out there - just not at this awesome price.

Giro Hex Helmet
Giro Hex - Best I've owned
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've ridden with the Hex about 20 hours, and I'm still impressed with the amount of air this thing pulls in. Just above walking speed I can feel my head cooling. Easily the best cooling of any helmet I've used in the past. The fit is also impressive - I have a very large head, most helmets and hats simply won't fit, or are uncomfortably tight. The Hex feels great, even at the end of a ride. Easy size adjustment with a simple twist of the knob.
I can't think of a single negative! Buy one!
Very comfy.
Especially the chin straps. It's nice to have a set of chin straps that aren't so heavy. The helmet itself is light and well ventilated. The support cinch on the back doesn't get in the way (even if you have lots of hair, like me). And the pads hold in the sweat well.
I had to block a few outreaching branches with the helmet on my last ride. Solid smacks on the noggin, too. To my surprise, nary a scratch on the plastic. I consider that a good sign.
Will I buy another Hex if smash up this one? Yeah, probably.
Best Bang for the buck
I've had this helmet for years and love it. For the price it's light and the ventilation hangs with any top dollar lid. I have the black one and just got the white one for my wife and it fits her well. If Giro ever stops making the Hex I plan to stock up on em because I'm not sure I want to use anything else.
This is a nice helmet
I really like this helmet. It is great for the price. It is much more ventilated than my last one, its fairly light, and I think its actually pretty cool looking. Just a couple drawbacks that I noticed about it though...
-It tends to wobble a bit from left to right, especially with a camara on top, and also pulls back a little bit. Not a big deal though and probably just a sizing issue.
-The chin strap is a little weird and hard to adjust correctly so it doesnt feel funny.
Overall this is a good helmet for the price.
Great Helmet
Helmet Fits Perfect, great vents.
Giro Hex Helet
The helmet is great. It has vents that open to the front to take in air. I ride in Texas where it's really hot. This helmet is noticeably cooler than my last one. I like the matte finish too.
Giro Hex Helmet
First new helmet in 5 years. Easy to fit. I ride in Florida and I can feel the difference with the vent system. Didn't need the extra pads for fit.(might be because I gotta block head). Great price and quick delivery from Huck. I would highly recommend.
Andrew S
Great Lid
I've got a few rides in with this helmet and so far it's been great. I typically have to wear a l/xl helmet but with the Giro sizing I was able to fit into a medium which makes for a more compact and better fitting helmet. Ventilation is great and it's very light weight, hardly notice it once it's on. The fit system of this helmet is highly adjustable so you can really dial it in. It takes some time to get it right, but once it's done you shouldn't have to mess with it again. My only complaint is the height adjustment on the RocLoc moves up and down too easily. I usually reposition it once the helmet is on and then adjust the RocLoc as needed. If I crash and burn and need to replace this helmet I'd get another Hex.

For self-preservation, players, when in the moment, really do need to be political.. but most of 'em aren't Vince Young or Antonio Cromartie-level functional morons; you would think as a player they'd prefer to follow the lead of someone whom they have reasonable confidence is smarter than they are.
I would love nothing more than to have The Meatball coach the Jets!

Rush Equipment Assisting Children (REACH)
About REACH
Through the REACH Program (Rush Equipment Assisting Children), Rush supports disadvantaged youth in developing countries by partnering with Rush soccer clubs, schools, nonprofit organizations, and communities to provide soccer uniforms and gear. By linking equipment donation to on-the-ground programs that develop youth soccer skills and promote health and education, REACH is contributing to stronger, healthier communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Since the launch of the REACH Program in 2002 Rush Soccer has distributed hundreds of thousands of pieces of soccer gear to more than 30 developing countries around the world. From tsunami victims and Russian orphans, to the children of war-torn Iraq or HIV-ravaged southern Africa, REACH has given thousands of kids a chance to enjoy the game.
For more information on the program, contact the Rush Soccer Director of International Affairs, Alex Amell Robredo, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
How does REACH work?
Rush Soccer is the biggest soccer club in the world with over 37,000 registered players or "members". High levels of membership have created a large supply of used soccer uniforms and equipment. Seeking to capitalize on the opportunity to redistribute these uniforms with needy communities around the globe, Rush Soccer has established a standard process for managing the program. The steps below describe a typical uniform collection process that would take place over a one-year period.
Partners and Volunteers
The success of the REACH Program has hinged on strong partnerships and the contributions of countless volunteers across the United States. Rush has worked closely with partners such as the US Navy's Project Handclasp, ISTAT-AirLink, and FedEx to ensure that soccer gear is safely and cost-effectively shipped to locations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. As demand for gear continues to increase, we look forward to expanding our partnership base.
Essential to the program are REACH "Ambassadors", Rush players who often volunteer hundreds of hours soliciting donations of gear and assisting with organizing and packing it for distribution overseas. Ambassador efforts are also supported by REACH Volunteer Coordinators who represent each of the Rush clubs around the US and play an active role in promoting and administering the program.
REACH Uniform Program
In June of 2010, the REACH program implemented its first coordinated and comprehensive used uniform collection program in an effort to greatly scale-up the number of uniforms distributed around the world.The Rush registers over 37,000 soccer players of which approximately 12,000 are in the "travel" program. That equates to roughly 6,000 competitive girl soccer players and 6,000 competitive boy soccer players. Because of our partnership with Nike and Eurosoport, "travel" soccer players are required to purchase new Kits (two jerseys, two shorts, and two socks) every two years. This happens every year with the girls purchasing new Kits on odd calendar years and the boys purchasing new Kits on even calendar years. When the uniform is ordered and distributed to the players, the player has the option to bring in his used uniform kit for a $20.00 credit**. We will collect approximately 4,500 used uniform kits. Over ten years, that table represents 45,000 uniforms distributed throughout the world! The impact both from a humanitarian side and marketing side is staggering. This does not include additional pieces of soccer equipment such as balls, shin guards, warm up jackets and pants, etc. estimated at 300,000 pieces. If handled properly, the 45,000 target could easily be tripled for a total of 135,000 uniforms distributed to children.
