CAMDEN, NJ -- Campbell Soup Co. has struck a deal to license its V8 Splash and V8 V-Fusion brands for Israel-based Soda Stream's namesake home carbonation machines.
The system, which transforms tap water into carbonated soft drinks and sparkling water, includes a soda-maker, CO2 carbonator, reusable bottle and more than 150 flavor options.
Campbell and Soda Stream said the initial V8 Splash concentrates will include tropical blend, berry blend and fruit medley, along with V8 V-Fusion in strawberry banana, pomegranate blueberry and peach mango varieties. They are expected to be available during the second quarter of 2013.
The deals follow an agreement between Campbell and Mesa, AZ-based Esio Beverage Co. inked last summer that brought V8 Splash beverages to Esio's hot and cold beverage system. | SEE STORY
Both the Soda Stream and Esio systems also feature Kraft's high-profile Crystal Light and Country Time brands. Last month, Esio expanded its agreement with Kraft to include Maxwell House coffee. | SEE STORY

Not sure about clubs in your area but without a doubt the best advice would be to get a girlfriend your age and wieght interested with you, find a local mma gym and just get stuck in. The only difficulty that you may face is getting someone your weight and skill level to drill with.
All mma clubs should be very interested to train someone interested and dedicated at your age. A good club (maybe one with a bjj school attached) is something you will have to research. Someone on here should be able to advise

Hi guys,
Perhaps this is a silly question. I'm just a bit confused and need your advice to make it clear and to ensure that I would go to the right way.
Currently I'm developing another WP theme and planning about theme options of the new theme then something popped up in my mind. Since some options like social network links, custom sidebars, home slider or even a logo might be the common elements for most themes.
Should I make them available for every theme of mine? So when the buyers switch the theme then those elements stay the same but in different position or different styles depending on the new theme?
Or just making them completely separated among the themes and the buyers need to input those common data to the new theme again? Is this a normal case?
Thanks in advance.
So you are assuming that a buyer is using at least two of your themes?

Yes, that could be the case but anyway, in general, just wondering which method is better in practice?
What do you think?

-don't know, I don't think you could have exactly the same options for all themes
there was a thread about it: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/wp-theme-forward-compatibility-shortcodescpts/75050?page=1

Oh I remember that epic thread. I'll read through the replies again. Thank you!
Actually, that thread linked to wasn't about this particular scenario. But, the two questions aren't entirely unrelated.
Depending on the feature itself, you have two options: 1) Add the theme setting to all your themes or 2) Create a separate plugin.
Here's the question you should answer: Is the functionality specific to your WordPress theme (when I say "theme", I'm talking about the design/presentation, which is what a theme is)? If yes, it should be a theme setting. If no, you might want to consider creating a plugin. But, it's something that you usually have to decide on a case-by-case basis.
It's all about the implementation. I'll use some of your examples:
Sliders: If you're implementing a blog post/page slider, it usually makes sense as a theme feature. If you're creating a custom post type "slide" and using it as a slider, it makes more sense as a plugin.
Sidebars: Pretty much a theme-specific thing because it deals with the presentation of content. But, I'd use the same sidebar IDs to make it easy to switch themes for users.
Social network links: If the links are user-specific (registered users on the site), it should be plugin material. If it's a widget, it can be a plugin or theme thing. If it's a theme setting, I'd say keep adding it to themes.
Logo: This is also a fairly theme-specific feature. I could see it being used as a plugin if all themes shared the same site title markup, or at least all your themes. But, it's best left as a theme setting.
One option you might consider is just making a drop-in library that you carry from theme to theme. You should look at how WordPress handles the Custom Background and Custom Header features as good examples.
Another thing to keep in mind is that not all themes require the same settings.

works a treat but the version i downloaded is in a language i dont understand and I dont have a clue how to change it back to english.
due to the fact that BT4 pre-final is based on Intrepid, it's quite a challenge to install FF 3.5 as it's not at all available via apt-get. There's a rather comfortable python-script called "Ubuntuzilla" available though that automates the process by downloading FF 3.5 directly from Mozilla, put FF 3.0 aside and is even able to revert the whole process with a single command. Furthermore "Ubuntuzilla" introduces a cron job that notifies you of updates on FF 3.5. So, let's get started:
1st Step: Download the "Ubuntuzilla" installer from Sourceforge and install it utilizing dpkg and apt-get to resolve dependencies (ignore the warnings while running dpkg)
2nd Step: Execute the "Ubuntuzilla" python-script and follow the rather simple y/n questions (should be self-explanatory)Code:# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ubuntuzilla/ubuntuzilla-4.6.1-0ubuntu1-i386.deb?use_mirror=surfnet # dpkg -i ubuntuzilla-4.6.1-0ubuntu1-i386.deb # apt-get install -f
"Ubuntuzilla" puts FF 3.0 (installed from repositories) aside utilizing dpkg-divert and replaces the KDE menu-item to launch FF 3.5 instead of FF3.0 (both are installed in parallel). FF 3.5 gets btw installed to /opt/firefoxCode:# ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox
If you want to revert the process for some reason, you just need to execute the "Ubuntuzilla" python-script again like this
Have fun! For an even smoother FF experience, please also checkout my other tutorial about "Integrating GTK-apps into the KDE3 desktop environment" hereCode:# ubuntuzilla.py -a remove -p firefox
works a treat but the version i downloaded is in a language i dont understand and I dont have a clue how to change it back to english.
Please choose the localization (language) for Firefox. Enter the number of your choice from the list below. [If you do not see a list of localizations, please check the help section of our website at hxxp://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/ for steps you can take to resolve this problem.]
input: "14" for en-US (English-US) if you want English.
The 3.5 release includes several Web standards improvements. It's based on the updated 1.9.1 Gecko layout engine which includes speculative parsing to render (draw) content even faster. Support for new web technologies, such as HTML5 video and audio elements, JavaScript query selectors and downloadable fonts, have also been added. The HTML 5 (HyperText Markup Language Version 5) <video> and <audio> tags allow for the embedding of arbitrary video and audio formats. Firefox includes support for several royalty-free codecs, like Ogg Vorbis, Theora, WAV and others. Support for proprietary formats including patented technology, such as QuickTime and MPEG-4, will be optional.
Thanks a bunch this walk-through did it nicely. Checking on the rest of your 'improvements' as this is my sole Ubuntu based OS on my system.
Thanks for the great tuto
After installing unbuntuzilla, I have two packages now on my desktop (one may be a duplicate). What should we do with them? Can (or should) they be deleted?
nice and easy upgrade, thank you very much for this one
do you know if the ubuntuzilla .deb package required for the cron job, or can i delete this one after the initial install?
EDIT: I guess I'm wondering the same as goldhedge
If all seems ok then you could move them to /tmp and if things are still ok then again you could delete them.
If anything would later be needed a reinstall would most likely fix it.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
thanks i renamed them and it turned out i had no need for them...

Second of multiple languages in Content-Language meta element
Test passes if you see green below, and no message to ignore it.
This test is only valid if the user agent recognises HTTP declarations.
|Ignore this test. (:lang not supported)
Assertion: [Exploratory test] The UA will recognize the second language declared where more than one language is declared in the Content-Language meta element.
In order to tell whether the language information is available, we test a feature, :lang, that makes use of that information in a detectable way. Unfortunately, such features are not uniformly supported across current user agents, and so conclusions must be drawn with care. We run control tests that will raise a flag if :lang is not supported by the user agent - if it is not, that particular test is not valid. If the test proves positive, that should show that the language declaration was recognized.
Note that we are only testing whether a declaration is recognised, not whether it is appropriate (eg. lang attributes in xml documents).

Why I will never buy another BMW
I paid $25,000 for a nice BMW and I have kept it in excellent condition. Not one ding on it.
I have BOTH a CPO and Maintenance warranty on it that will expire during March.
I HAVE TRIED FOR OVER A YEAR to get the computer fixed as it acts crazy re the miles for the next service. Last time I spent a LOT of time explaining over and over and over to the BOTH the service shop foreman and the rep that I wanted the computer fixed this time. I told them I had complained about it every single time I had come in ....
They kept the car for FIVE days saying that they were running software on it to fix it.
It had said 4,000 til next service last month and should say today 2000 or 3000 Miles to service (I'm a realtor and drive a lot), which would bring it into February, not the March 3013 that is when my warranty runs out.
It started changing to 7,000, then 9,000 and now is at 14,000 miles til next service when I took it in.
I feel completely hopeless to get this fixed ... as they seem completely unresponsive to my many trips and pleas. TWICE during the last year I have made a trip TWO HOURS ONE WAY (I'm in Sedona and dealership is in Chandler AZ) for NOTHING because the computer was wrong.
I got the nonsense that someone didn't reset it right. Now I am absolutely
positive that it does not work correctly .... and no one seems to care.
It is the CORPORATE POLICY with a used car to do as little as possible re computer equipment?
I am absolutely APPALLED to have paid that much money to be treated like a poor relation.
I have paid probably 1500 in replacing 6
(run flats) because of one nail and my husband is fit to be tide that they cannot "fix" a flat that is a simple nail in the middle of the tire.
I have dropped money to have bushings fixed because they apparently didn't notice how bad the struts were and then more deferred maintenance damage was done ....
They act like they are deaf, giving me a bunch of verbal nonsense, and when I called to complain I get a phone message that says "Call me and I'll talk to you so you feel better."
They must be under some corporate restriction that prohibits them from fixing my car as I cannot believe that any human being would be so cold after many trips down to the PHX area during the past year.
I then when I got the email from BMW HQ told exactly what happened, asked them to CALL ME ON THE PHONE ANY AFTERNOON, and guess what? Have not heard from them in two weeks.
What the heck is going on with BMW. Worst car experience of my life!
and to pay THAT much money for a car that has both a CPO AND A MAINTENANCE WARRANTY is incomprehensible to me.
I drove Audis for years and they are crap compared to BMWs but I or my hubby used to do the work ourselves. Now in real estate I don't have time or skills and knowledge to work on modern cars and I was hoping that buying a nice car with CPO and with Maintenance agreement would put my mind at ease. This has been a complete nightmare !
Cheers, Fay

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer
CAMANO ISLAND — When Christy Swartz graduated from Stanwood High School in 2009 and moved all the way across the country to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, her mom was anxious.
A year later when Barbara Swartz found out her daughter was having trouble studying because of a growing sensitivity to wheat, the mama-bear instincts kicked in.
However, instead of searching for gluten-free foods she could buy and mail to Boston, Barbara Swartz decided to come up with a breakfast cereal that any college student would appreciate: It had to be organic, not taste like cardboard and be quick and easy to prepare.
Swartz, 55, experimented with a variety of whole grains, seeds and nuts. Eventually she decided on a mix of almonds, buckwheat, brown rice, amaranth, chia, millet, flax, cañahua and a gourmet black rice that in ancient China was reserved for the emperors.
The black rice is actually a dark purple, and when it's cooked with the other grains, the purple color dominates. So, Swartz flavored the cereal with a little vanilla and called it Purple Sunrise.
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you eat it at sunrise and it's purple," she said. "Christy loved it. She could focus on her studies instead of a stomach ache. Then we started giving the cereal to friends as gifts. People raved about it, so we decided to see if we could sell it."
Christy Swartz said the process to find the right blend took her mother several months.
"After she got the balance right and sent it to me, it was actually wonderful and so delicious. It's the best cereal I've ever tried, and I've tried a ton," Christy said. "My mom is multitalented and she constantly impresses me with these random things she knows how to do."
Swartz, a graphic artist, and her husband, Chris, who has a doctorate in microbiology, turned their TV room into a commercial kitchen. Last October they got a state food processor's license to operate as Camano Island Mills.
On Saturday and Sunday, the Swartz family, including Christy, her fiance, and her brother Scott, plan a public unveiling of Purple Sunrise at Vegfest 2013 at the Seattle Center's Exhibition Hall.
The cereal is available online at www.camanoislandmills.com. Barbara's sister Kathy Blechel is working on getting the cereal into retail outlets.
Chris and Barbara Swartz own several other home-based businesses, including a website development company, all under the umbrella of Midnight Oil LLC.
"That's because we really do burn the midnight oil," Barbara said. "I'll be in the commercial kitchen at 1 a.m. milling, mixing and packaging Purple Sunrise."
The Swartzes bought a commercial scale, a mill that grinds the ingredients, a cement mixer machine that tosses it all together and a vacuum package sealer. Each package includes an oxygen absorber sachet to help keep the cereal fresh, they said.
"The investment was substantial and the premium grains we buy are expensive," Barbara Swartz said. A 16-ounce package of Purple Sunrise is sold online for $14.95 and cooks up about 16 servings. She packages between 35 and 70 pounds of cereal a day, Swartz said.
On top of their several businesses, the Swartzes are preparing for Christy's wedding on March 30. A gluten-free, vegan meal is planned for family members who will attend.
"We are so busy right now that we wish we could clone ourselves," Barbara Swartz said. "But it is fun, and our health has improved so much since we have been eating gluten-free. We have more energy."

The parent company of Sepracor Canada Ltd. has decided to cease operations at the Windsor plant.
A pharmaceuticals plant in Windsor is slated for closure in mid-2013.
Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc., the Massachusetts-based parent company of Sepracor Canada Ltd., released a prepared statement to the media Dec. 5 to inform the public of the closure, which will result in 32 job cuts.
"The decision to close the Windsor, Nova Scotia plant is critical to the company's business strategy to remain competitive and better align production capacity with anticipated product demand," the statement, forwarded by communications director Candace Steele Flippin, reads.
The company's statement says "transition arrangements" have been made for the impacted employees.
"All employees will receive a generous transition package consisting of salary, rewards and benefits as well as outplacement services," Steele Flippin explained in a follow up email to the Hants Journal.
She said the workforce was last reduced in 2010.
When asked where the work completed at Sepracor Canada will take place following the closure, Steele Flippin said Sunovion "has identified alternative sources for the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) manufactured at the plant to address the anticipated product demand."
A security officer working the front desk at Sepracor Canada's plant on Morison Drive referred the Hants Journal to Sunovion's corporate headquarters for comment. The 43,000 square foot research and development facility opened in 1994.
Mayor Paul Beazley said news of the closure comes shortly after the public learned the Town of Windsor would be gaining 34 jobs with the impending relocation of the Nova Scotia Tourism Agencyin September 2013.
"We had good news a few months back with the relocation of the Nova Scotia Tourism Agency to the area. It's unfortunate now that we suffer a loss of what is essentially an equal number of jobs at the old Sepracor plant," he said in a brief phone interview.
"You think you're starting to make some good momentum forward, and it's sort of two steps forward, one step back."
Beazley said commercial taxes paid for by the Sepracor Canada plant are shared by the town and municipality, but he feels the job loss will have the greatest impact on the area.
"I think everybody's main concern would be the job loss. The building is going to stay there and there will be some assessment on it and we will continue to get some tax dollars from it."
He says the Town of Windsor will consult with the Hants Regional Development Authority to learn what can be done to attract a new business to the plant.
"Things like the closure of this type of business sort of reinforce the idea that we need to have a good strong regional development agency in the area," Beazley said.
The future of the 12 regional development authorities in the province, including the Hants RDA, largely stems on 25 recommendations laid out in a report that calls for the existing RDAs to be restructured when federal funding for the agencies is pulled in May 2013.
The report, Renewing Economic Development in Nova Scotia, recommends moving forward with six "regional enterprise networks," rather than 12 RDAs.
Claude O'Hara, executive director of the Hants RDA, says the local development authority is working with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (AC0A) and Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI) to find a new company to move into Sepracor Canada's facility in a timely manner.
"We have been aware of this situation for some time now and we have been working closely with our counterparts at ACOA and NSBI to try and find a new investor for that facility," O'Hara said.
"We are confident that progress is being made."

In National Review, Conrad Black Defends Fox News, Nixon, And Warrantless Wiretaps
Blog ››› ››› ADAM SHAH
In a National Review article, convicted fraudster Conrad Black falsely claims that Fox News is honest about how its political views sway its news coverage. In order to prove his point, Black attacks other mainstream news outlets for their unfair coverage of former President Richard Nixon and his unconstitutional policy of wiretapping his political opponents without warrants.
Black, a businessman who has been convicted of a $600,000 fraud as well as obstruction of justice (other convictions against Black were thrown out by the U.S. Supreme Court) and is awaiting sentencing, argues that the mainstream media pretend that they are unbiased when in fact they favor progressives. By contrast, Fox News "makes no bones about its conservative penchant."
In fact, while Fox News admits that its opinion shows have a point of view, it strongly maintains that its supposedly "straight news" programs are objective, all evidence to the contrary aside. Furthermore, Bill O'Reilly, the only Fox personality that Black mentions in his piece, has repeatedly claimed that most of Fox News is "fair" and is not "out to hurt" President Obama (again, all evidence to the contrary).
But that's not all that's wrong with Black's piece.
To make the case that the mainstream media are liberally biased, Black refers to the media's treatment of Nixon and Mark Felt, the Watergate source nicknamed "Deep Throat":
The most egregious occurrence of this sort of thing in recent years was the saga of Deep Throat in the Watergate affair. In 2005, he identified himself as Mark Felt, former senior official of the FBI. He was duly lionized as one of the heroes of the Left, and the whole Watergate business was replayed again. What was almost entirely unmentioned in the mainstream national liberal media was that when Felt and an FBI colleague, Edward Miller, were accused in 1980 of criminally violating the privacy of members of the urban-terrorist Weather Underground by authorizing break-ins in their homes, Richard Nixon, although he suspected Felt was Deep Throat, offered to help them pay their legal fees and volunteered to testify on their behalf. They had the decency to decline, saying that they doubted Nixon would be helpful before a largely African-American jury in Washington, D.C. Not to be put off, Nixon required the prosecutors to call him, though he made it clear that he would be supporting the defendants. He appeared on Oct. 29, 1980, amid demonstrators outside the court and hecklers within, who were forcibly removed by U.S. marshals at the judge's order.
Under constructive cross-examination by defense lawyers, Nixon made a strong case for "warrantless searches" and pointed out that in his first year as president there had been 40,000 bomb scares, and 3,200 bombings that killed 23 people, injured hundreds, and did $20 million of property damage. He defended the conduct of Felt and Miller as necessary to defend the lives of the innocent. They were convicted anyway, but Nixon successfully lobbied incoming President Reagan to pardon them, and sent them champagne and congratulatory notes when they were pardoned. Felt in his memoirs made no mention of this, or of his status as Deep Throat, and when he came out of that closet in 2005, his coronation was not sullied by reference, in the major media, to Nixon's determined help to his chief accuser. The irony alone should have made it a compelling story. But it was ignored, not to say stifled.
I'm not sure what Black means when he says that Nixon's testimony at Felt's 1980 criminal trial despite suspicions that he was Deep Throat was "almost entirely unmentioned in the mainstream national liberal media."
The Washington Post, the paper who received the benefit of Felt's testimony, reported:
FBI agents have rallied around Felt before, but in a decidedly different case. In 1980, Felt was convicted of authorizing illegal break-ins that targeted members of the radical Weather Underground group. At one hearing, more than 500 agents, clerks and friends of Felt stood on the courthouse steps to show their support for him and another senior FBI official. Former president Nixon -- who had suspected Felt as a leaker in the Watergate scandal -- nevertheless testified at the trial on his behalf, and Felt was later pardoned. [retrieved via Nexis]
In its obituary for Felt, The New York Times reported: "In a criminal trial, Mr. Felt was convicted in November 1980 of conspiring to violate the constitutional rights of Americans. Nixon, who had denounced him in private for leaking Watergate secrets, testified on his behalf. Called by the prosecution, he told the jury that presidents and by extension their officers had an inherent right to conduct illegal searches in the name of national security."
CNN's Jack Cafferty stated: "Ironically, President Nixon testified on Felt's behalf in the 1980 trial, where Felt was accusing of authorizing illegal break-ins at homes of people associated with the radical Weather (ph) underground" (retrieved via Nexis).
And what about Black's argument that "Nixon made a strong case for 'warrantless searches' "? I'm not sure how good a case Nixon made for warrantless searches. I haven't read the trial transcripts of Felt's trial. But what I do know is that Nixon's warrantless wiretapping policy was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court held that the wiretaps were unconstitutional in 1972. The vote wasn't close. Seven justices held they were unconstitutional. An eighth judge believed they were illegal under federal statutes, and the ninth judge was recused from the case. No justice defended the legality of the program.

Bengals sign more draft picks
The Bengals today made the following roster moves:
*Signed LB Sean Porter, a fourth-round selection in the 2013 NFL Draft. Porter (6-1, 230; Texas A&M) started 39 games over his final three seasons and finished his career with 261 tackles, 14.5 sacks and 34.5 tackles-for-loss.
*Signed HB Rex Burkhead, a sixth-round draft selection. Burkhead (5-10, 214; Nebraska) was limited to eight games by an injury as a senior, but he averaged 6.9 yards per rush, and he closed his career ranked fifth on Nebraska's all-time rushing list with 3329 yards.
*Signed DT Terrence Stephens as a college free agent. Stephens (6-1, 307; Stanford) participated as a tryout player in this past weekend's rookie and first-year player minicamp.
*Waived rookie DT Travis Chappelear of Northwest Missouri State. Chappelear had joined the Bengals April 30 as a college free agent.
The Bengals have now signed five of their 10 selections from the 2013 draft. Signed previously were WR Cobi Hamilton of Arkansas (sixth round), OT Reid Fragel of Ohio State (seventh round) and C T.J. Johnson of South Carolina (seventh round).

Hi everyone,
here is the setup.
I am working at a factory with about 150APs.
My job is to test the security since we will implement a new WiFi system.
I am located right underneath and AP which I have it's MAC address (BSSID) and its (ESSID) which its broadcasting.
The AP broadcasts a WEP password protected ESSID on channel 11 and the key is 128bit encrypted.
The amount of traffic on this specific AP is very little, therefore I believe I will need to injected packets in order to gather some unique IVs.
I have followed ALOT of videos online and tried everything, i even tried to crack it with 105,000 IVs and nothing would give.
I am using Backtrack 4 and an Hawking HU-G1 (RT73) Usb chipset.
Can someone guide me in the right direction, i really tried it all, and read the forums and read tutorials.

An award-winning bed and breakfast at Blubberhouses will be serving up three days of hearty morning food for charity in the New Year.
Scaife Hall Farm at Hardisty Hill, Blubberhouses, is hosting Yorkshire's annual Farmhouse Big Breakfast fundraiser, from January 28 to January 30.
It will be the third time the business, run by husband and wife Chris and Christine Ryder, has held the event to raise money for the Addington Fund.
Previous Big Breakfasts at Scaife Hall – held in 2007 and 2010 – brought in nearly £7,500 for the charity, which provides homes for farming families in England and Wales who have to leave the industry and offers emergency hardship grants.
The Ryders will be serving up two breakfast sittings, from 10am to noon and from 1pm to 3pm, per day, this time with locally produced food featuring prominently.
Sponsors so far include Bracken Hill Fine Foods, Yorkshire Dales Granola, Gold Top Jersey Milk and Butter, Shortridge Laundry and Topcliffe mushroom grower Trevor Fothergill, while the couple's friends will help cook and serve the breakfasts.
Director of the Addington Fund, Ian Bell, said: "The Ryders have been among our staunchest supporters over the years.
"Fundraising of this nature is absolutely fundamental to our needs and we hope farming communities, businesses and the public at large will support their 2014 charity farmhouse breakfast – and savour one of the best breakfasts to be had in the whole of Yorkshire."
Tickets, which cost £15, are already selling fast and Mrs Ryder is hoping for a record-breaking success.
She said: "We've served up well over 300 charity big breakfasts in the past and we're hoping we can break through the 500 mark this time around and take our fund-raising total past £10,000."
Scaife Hall Farm, winner of the 2011/12 Best Yorkshire Breakfast category in the Deliciouslyorkshire Awards, is a 600 acre working hill farm with flocks of Swaledale, Mule and Blue Faced Leicester sheep, a herd of Belted Galloway Cattle, and free range hens whose eggs are used for the B&B's breakfasts.

For the first time ever, deputies at Men's Central Jail are wearing video cameras on their uniforms as the Sheriff's Department tests a new way to curb violence at the troubled facility.
The cameras were added as a pilot program to combat what critics allege is a growing trend of brutal deputy violence against inmates in county jails.
"What's important to know is that the sheriff is doing everything in his power to make these jails as safe as possible," said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for Sheriff Lee Baca.
Under the pilot, 30 deputies will wear the personal video recording devices for six months, after which the department will decide whether the technology should be used throughout Los Angeles County's correctional system.
"This will give us real-time firsthand information on the initial confrontation between deputies and inmates," said Cmdr. Eric Parra, who sits on the task force that Baca created to review jail policies and recommend reforms.
"If there is a force incident, the camera will give us a recording -- both video and audio," Parra said. "Between PVRD's and overhead cameras, we think we'll get a full perspective on the actual incident, manage it better, and hopefully make our operations more sound."
Since Feb. 26, 15 deputies interacting with inmates who have a history of mental illness, violence or hostile behavior toward jail staff have been wearing the cameras at Men's Central Jail.
They work on different floors and different shifts, and all of them volunteered to participate in the pilot program.
The second batch of 15 cameras will be delivered shortly, some to the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, also located downtown.
"The camera goes on the deputy's chest, and it records conversations and video of anything that's in front of them," Parra said.
"They're not cumbersome," he added. "They're small and relatively simple in terms of operation."
Operations Lt. Dan Fedele said the deputies do not hide the fact that they're recording their interaction with the inmates.
"When it's activated, the PVRD has a large green circle, approximately an inch in diameter, that the inmate can see, which would serve as the indication that they're being recorded."
"If an inmate were to ask, the deputy will tell them they're being recorded," he added.
Whitmore said the cameras do not cost the county anything because vendors who are hoping to get the permanent contract are lending the equipment to the county for the pilot.
The pilot program elicited cautious praise from Peter Eliasberg, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a class action lawsuit against Baca and his top brass in January, accusing them of condoning "savage" beatings of inmates at county jails.
"I am not a believer that technology and cameras are the silver bullet that fixes everything," Eliasberg said.
"I do think it's a very good step, but the violence in the jails is not a simple problem that can be fixed by doing just one thing, and that's it," he added. "You also have to have good training, good supervision, and so on."
County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich said the cameras "protect everybody's interests."
"It'll protect an officer who's unfairly accused of mistreatment, and it'll also protect an inmate who was unfairly treated by a person of authority," he said.
"This is a step forward, and I'm only sorry that it took the sheriff so long to implement it."
The deputy-worn cameras were activated even as the department also continues to install hundreds of surveillance cameras throughout Men's Central Jail.
Assistant Sheriff Cecil Rhambo said 705 cameras should be operational by the end of May. Additional cameras will be installed at the Twin Towers and at the Inmate Reception Center.
The cameras were among several recommendations made by county Special Counsel Merrick Bobb and the Office of Independent Review to curb violence at the jails.
In its lawsuit, the ACLU alleged there was a "longstanding and widespread pattern of violence" at county jails.
It presented 70 sworn statements from purported eyewitnesses to beatings, mostly at the Men's Central Jail and Twin Towers in 2010 and 2011.
Inmates made most of the sworn statements but a few civilians -- including two jail chaplains and a Hollywood movie producer -- also reported seeing deputies punching, kicking and using pepper-spray or Tasers on inmates.

Class of '63 Kennedy High School Student Remembers JFK Assassination
San Antonio's John F. Kennedy High School will celebrate its 50th anniversary this Friday, on the same day their namesake and former president, John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
The Edgewood Independent School District high school was the first high school in the country named for the 35th President. The school name was first presented to the their Board of Trustees and approved September 10, 1962, just before the start of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the school opened its doors in September 1963.
Joe Gomez was a freshman at John F. Kennedy High School in 1963 when the school first opened, and he says even after all these years he still remembers where he was when he heard the news the president had been shot.
"I was in my math class," Gomez said. "They made an announcement over the intercom: 'President Kennedy has been shot' they said."
It became very silent, the whole school was just in shock, and no one could believe that something like that could happen, he said.
"At that point no one knew he had been killed," Gomez said. "Everyone in class was in shock, sad, and just concerned…. We were just waiting to hear something."
When they finally found out President Kennedy was dead, Gomez said the community, like the rest of the country was devastated.
"In the Hispanic community he was very well liked,…he was Catholic, and he was part of the civil rights movement," Gomez said. " It was hard for us students there at the school… it was was his name sake then and now we were proud to go to a school named after an amazing president."

Conservative media personalities go out of their way to praise Isikoff, lay blame on Newsweek editors
Research ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN & RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
Following Newsweek's May 16 retraction of its May 9 article that cited an anonymous source to report that U.S. investigators found evidence that interrogators at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, flushed a Quran down a toilet, conservative anchors and pundits on cable news and talk radio repeatedly praised the reputation of the story's primary reporter, Michael Isikoff, and blamed the lapse on the magazine's editors. This defense of Isikoff may be related to his investigation into President Bill Clinton's sex scandal, during which, as Media Matters noted, Isikoff relied extensively on unreliable sources.
Conservatives praised Isikoff and defended his work ...
- Ed Rogers, Republican consultant:
ROGERS: Hey, I don't know what can be done, but a lot of damage has been inflicted, and so there's going to be a lot of hue and cry here in Washington. There's going to be calls for investigations. There's going to be calls for reform. But who knows what's going to happen? I mean, the next shoe to drop -- but it never will, because they won't reveal their source -- but was this just an opponent of the administration trying to make life difficult that made up this story and that gave it to Newsweek? Now, the reporter that wrote this is actually a big-time pro, who I don't think could be deceived. But nonetheless, it has real consequences, and it's done real harm, so there ought to be a real inquiry into this. [CNN's Crossfire, 5/16/05]
- Brit Hume, Fox News Washington managing editor:
HUME: This is Michael Isikoff, the veteran investigative journalist, a guy we all know, who has been on this program, somebody who has compiled a pretty good record over the years. [Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, 5/16/05]
- Fred Barnes, Weekly Standard executive editor:
BARNES: He's a very honorable reporter. [Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, 5/16/05]
... and then shifted the blame to Newsweek's editors and management:
- L. Brent Bozell III, Media Research Center president, and Sean Hannity, ABC radio and Fox News host:
BOZELL: One would be hard-pressed to lay the blame directly at the feet of Michael Isikoff. Michael Isikoff is also the reporter who broke the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky story for Newsweek magazine.
HANNITY: Yeah. I wouldn't mind putting Isikoff on and getting his take on this, and I don't want to rush on the Isikoff-bashing bandwagon here because if I had to bet dollars for donuts, he probably told them, "I have a story, I have a source, I'm not ready to go with it yet, but I'm writing it out and we gotta investigate it." And they probably just said, "Hey, great! Let's run with it!" [ABC Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show, 5/16/05]
- Hannity, on his Fox News show:
HANNITY: By the way, I don't think it's Isikoff. I think it's the people above him, just for the record, Bill [Press, guest]. They make the decision, not Isikoff. He doesn't decide what gets in that magazine. [Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, 5/16/05]
- Robert D. Novak, CNN host:
NOVAK: [I]sn't this the kind of a story that a responsible media executive would have said, I know what it's like in the world today. I know what it's like in Islam. We shouldn't run this story. [CNN's Crossfire, 5/16/05]
Finally, MSNBC host Chris Matthews (though not on Fox News nor a self-identified conservative) similarly praised Isikoff:
MATTHEWS: Well, Newsweek is going to have to catch up to the [Washington] Post. Anyway, thank you very much. Isikoff, by the way, is one hell of a reporter. I hate to see this happen to him. What a great reporter he is. He's been on the tail of a lot of people in this town. [MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, 5/16/05]

Armed Assault campaign
Added by Herr_Kalashnikov almost 8 years ago
After I released the SP scenarios I was thinking to do next. As u already asked for someone to help converting the QG campaign, I thought I had a look and see how the campaigns work.
I tried the Armed Assault campaign.
The campaigns kinda works out of the box it starts but it has some problems with several missions. The 1st real mission had a incorrect definition of sounds array for example. That was fixed quite easy. Sounds doesn't work but after pointing to the correct subfolder it worked to.
Intros doesn't work perfectly had to modify some to make them more realistic but all in all that can be done quick and easy to.
The biggest issue I have is that most A1 units don't convert to well into A2. I'm not certain how oac_core converts them, so it's just basicly a puzzle to find a good counterpart or that all stock A1 units are allready in oac or caa for that matter. If it's the first i'll make a list of units i seem to have a problem with.
Also like mentioned in the issue tracker of caa1 there seems to be some serious pathing problems with wheeled vehicles on roads (esp in citys). This is a real immersion stopper because u have to sometimes litterly wait 5-10m till u get at the spot where u are dropped. Tried other formations, speeds and waypoints but it doens't seem to help at all. I hope the new BIS island tools can resolve it.
On missions where u have to select which next mission u wanna do u will get a error message like ..
Warning Message: Variable '_display' does not support serialization. Call 'disableSerialization' in the current script (maybe 'Campaigns\ca\missions\S02BeatenDog.Sara\strategyMapInit.sqf') if you need to use it.
Tried some things to remove it without any success. Don't have enough script experience to pinpoint the problem.
I think this is a pretty doable thing. And prob the most work will be defining the proper A2 units for A1 missions. BTW all this was tested on the git repository so should be latest build.

RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju almost 8 years ago
gday Herr_Kalashnikov!
first of great info and thanks for sharing!
The best thing IMO would be to form a Skype group of interested people to
discuss problems and plans easily that way.
I started the QG campaign, as it good way better feedback than the A1 campaign.
However in the end it is up to the people what is of interest for em. :)
- Sounds definition: Noticed that too and fixed it for QG and all OFP campaigns.
- Intros: good to know. Got any more details what type of modification was needed.
- Task/briefing: still didn't find the time to look into this in detail.
Yet I am fairly certain that this part can be automated to a very large degree.
- Unit/Class mapping: You can check the current mapping here: oac_core/BI/h/CfgVehicles.hpp.
You can suggest different mappings. That said keep in mind infantry models are
very hard to convert, vehicles and weapons are easy.
So mainly we have to rely whats in CAA1 and in A2 for now.
- Pathfinding problems: A2 tools seem to be out very soon. Hopefully we can fix this.
- Scripting errors/any error you have no solutions: Report it in the issue tracker. :)
best regards
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov almost 8 years ago
Hey Kju,
Good to see u also starting on the campaigns. I would love to team up and assist u with it. As i'm quite new to online projects I think its wise for u to decide whats the best method for communicating. I have some programming experience with Delphi creating random tools but im certainly not a expert. Although most scripts and stuff are readable/understandable for me.
I also tried some QG editing already but postponed it after i saw that alot of units weren't replaced properly. As u described I'll have a look in the oac_core/BI/h/CfgVehicles.hpp file to see if it makes any sense.
Besides some missing vehicles (i understand u working hard to get them in) like the littlebirds / m113, it's mainly infantry units. Let's hope with the new BIS tools we can convert infantry properly as some unit's make the campaigns more realistic.
About the intros, It mainly is because most Armed Assualt intro missions use overlays which aren properly presented in A2. A simple bypass is to enable cinemaborder while that overlay is displayed and disable after it is removed, pretty easy stuff. Didn't check the QG intros so not sure there will be the same issue.
Kind regards,
Herr AK
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov almost 8 years ago
A little update..
I'm making decent progress on the A1 campaign. Basicly I think I can make a playable release in the upcoming 1 or 2 weeks. It will still have some problems but i think its best to have a release so people can play with it and solve the problems on the fly.
The issues i still have:
Pathfinding makes some missions impossible. I'll just leave it this way because i still hope that can be fixed with the new tools and insights. If it becomes clear that it isn't solvable I'll try to adjust the mission so it's bypassed.
Most missions saves global variables to give the next mission info about status of the campaign. Out of the box it doesn't seem to work. Probably have to rewrite those variables so it will work propely. I'm currentlty busy solving this because it makes or breaks the campaign.
Unit mappings are still abit off. Mostly its the loadouts which aren't the same and that can be hard to complete the mission. In the mindset of OAC i think its best to get proper mappings instead of adjusting the missions myself. I propose to make a list of all stock A1 infantry units and there correct weapons / magazines.
Also if other people reads this and they wanna help out in any form please don't hesitate. The more people who gets involved the faster and better it will be ;)
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju almost 8 years ago
How is your progress Herr AK?
I am interested to give it a play test once you think it is ready.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov over 7 years ago
Hey Kju,
I been away for awhile. Been busy RL and played some other games. About the campaign it is alrdy in a playable state but there is still alot of work to be done to polish it up.
- All missions work
- Radio sounds
- Mission selections
- Briefings
- unit/weapon mappings
- mission/ai testing
- cleaning up
I see the AI road problem are solved \0/ which was imho the biggest reason why i wouldnt want to post it yet, because its basicly unplayable.
It's a shame to so few people take interrest in this project. With a bit of combined help the campaign would be alrdy playable for months :)
If u wanna give it a shot to play test it sure, just tell me where to upload the file to. its aprox 80mb.
herr ak
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju over 7 years ago
wb back :)
I am in the process of uploading the fixed worlds to the CAA1 YAS server as well.
As written in Skype, there was one more guy eager to play-test the a1 campaign.
Try this page:
Send me a link and I will put up a mirror.
One without sound files and one with, and the registry check to avoid BI complain.
Actually a lot of people use CAA1 and make missions for it.
At the same time it is the natural way that the number of people interested to
tweak instead of creating new content is rather small.
I think it is certainly possible to get more people work on it by helping people
getting into it, get to know each other and form a team.
For me personally this is just a side project, so I will invest only the time
the other responsibilities permit.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov over 7 years ago
Ok here is a downloadlink
Campaign : see below
Class mapping : http://dev-heaven.net/attachments/3320/oac_a1_class_mapping.7z
It's basicly a alpha release (as in non public), all missions should be playable but there are still alot of thing to be done for a proper release.
- all missions are playable
- selection missions works with status
- intro scenes works and are finetuned to be displayed properly
- implemented kju's class mapping addon so it's easy to remap a1 units or loadouts
- briefings
- check all unit layouts (seen some strange loadouts)
- polish intro's soundlevels
- polish overlay scaling (a2 seems to make all overlays smaller then the actual screen)
- playtest alot (finetune triggers and stuff) :)
Unpack ca folder into arma2\campaigns
Unpack class mapping addon into arma2\x\oac\core\addons
Note if u want ofp class mappings just remove the replacement addon or make a seperate modfolder.

I had two problems so far gameplay wise.
1) Mission two to destroy the tanks.
For some reason even after blowing up all vehicles, the WP was not completed.
2) Mission three to defend the counter attack.
In the 2nd phase of the mission you need to stop
a counter attack from the east at a small base.
The enemy has a BMP3 and 2 BTR there. Their GL make
those a very big challenge, unless you disable them as
player with AT.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov over 7 years ago
Good to hear they seem to work.
There are still loads of problem with proper triggers and gameplay balance like u noticed.
My plan is to work on these issues (in that order)
- creating new briefings
- playtesting the missions and see if they work properly
- checking for scripts error
- polish up intros and mission selections
- clean up
A downside i had a pc crash recently and swapped over to a fresh w7 install and don't have arma installed so playtesting can get abit hard :)
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju over 7 years ago
I can help with script errors.
Play-testing is possible to.
The mission intros worked fine here so far.
The notes/briefing was missing - at least when I checked.
We can try to automate that part.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Max255 over 7 years ago
For me it crashes right after intro, when i suposed to be in HMMWV in route to Corazol...
Got bunch of addons but without them it still crashes. I'll check rpt for errors...
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju over 7 years ago
Hm thats weird. A rpt would be helpful yes.
Do you use the latest CAA1/OAC version via YAS?
Did you load the oac_a1_class_mapping.pbo from the post above too?
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Max255 over 7 years ago
Little update.
Finally i managed to run it... But with addons it still crashes. Gonna try different setup.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov over 7 years ago
I'd suggest to run a clean CAA1/OAC setup, mine is arma2dir\beta\arma2.exe -mod=beta;x\caa1;x\oac\oac_core
Also make sure u place the classmapping.pbo in the x\oac\oac_core\addons directory.
A little update on progress..
- fixed a error in the last mission preventing it to load
- added simple briefings to all the missions
So i have some time for playtesting them properly. Still could use some help with testing of the weapon/vehicles maps correct with the original ArmA. As I don't have it installed atm (due to reinstall pc) its kinda hard :)
I'll upload a new release when I got the last briefings in which should be soon.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju over 7 years ago
What addons do you use Max?
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by froggyluv over 7 years ago
I don't how much you want to keep the Campaign 'pure' but I think the second mission - AT Sabateur- plays much better with a small force recon team. I added a weapon crate by the inital boat and 3 recon players and it seems much more balanced than the ramboesque way it was initially done.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju over 7 years ago
I guess changes like these would be welcome and more freedom in editing
makes it easier.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov over 7 years ago
Personaly i prefer to preserve the original campaign as much as possible. Ofcource gamebreaking issues will be fixed but everyone has his own likings (some like it rambo and some like milsim) that's why i think BI placed all sorts of missions into the campaign. So that all people will get some missionstyles they like.
Then again the editor is our friend and if u personaly like to play the mission another way you can always edit it to ur likings like u did.
A generic question to all who started on playing this campaign about AI choppers. I alrdy had some AI crashing into tree and mountains. Not sure what is creating this behaviour. Silly AI or wrong island heightmap information or a mix of both perhaps? Noticed there was a custom made addon which makes sure AI always keep a specific height, maybe that will fix it, will test it later.
BTW all briefings are in now, will upload latest release when i get home today:)
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by froggyluv over 7 years ago
Ok, I understand you want to stay true to the original although I'm not sure how much thought the Dev's put into that particular mission. I went up North to check out the secondary objective, Documents, got into a few skirmishes and noticed almost all of my ammo was gone due to the 3 rockets that take up your weapon slots. Couldn't even touch the main objective after that -so perhaps a different loadout or some weapons near the starting boat position would be nice :p Also,GPS would be nice on this one.
In that mission, there was an enemy helo circling us for a long time (took out boat) and he didn't seem to have any problems but that isn't a mountainous area so I'll get back to you when I can see them in a more 'challenging area'.
Look forward to updated missions with Briefings that I hope will tell you where your next objective is because I often miss the text and after the fight in Ortega, wasn't sure were to go as the truck that had dropped us off was gone.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov over 7 years ago
I tried that mission and I agree the starting loadout is abit weird.. 4 clips m16, 3 m136's and a satchel charge (thats with the class mapping loaded). I don't have A1 installed atm so I can't say what the loadout in the original was. But if u tell I can change the class map to.
The briefings make all abit clearer to.
Btw maybe u didn't know but u can use these 'cheats' to make it easier testing:
- numpad - and then 'endmission' / for ending a mission u stuck on, objectives arent updated so u will fail the mission but u can still continue
- numpad - and then 'campaign' / in the mission selection screen to unlock all missions
Uploading the new campaign as we speak and update the link when I wake up :)
link... see below
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by froggyluv over 7 years ago
So far briefings seem fine. The 2nd level, Beaten Dog, plays out very nice, almost epic, as the momentum shifts back and forth until the forced retreat.
The next 3 missions in Dolores are another matter due to the problems with the AI driving of which you are well aware. The solo Sabotage mission in Geraldo (SP?) didn't work at all because the tanks never show up. The main mission was broken for me as well because the AI driver took me to a spot close to my dropoff point but I had no option to exit the vehicle. Didn't try the other auxillery mission as it was vehicle bound but I'll give it a shot.
Hopefully, BI helps you with whayever you need to get the driving at least somewhat competent. I'll jump ahead to some later missions to check them out.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju over 7 years ago
froggyluv you do use the latest CAA1 version, right?
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by froggyluv over 7 years ago
kju -that did help somewhat. The main Dolares mission seemed better with my update as my driver dropped me off correctly.
Mission m14_construction_convoy, still has some problems. I watched the convoy via Troopmon program and they have a hard time staying together over such a long distance but do seem to get to their destination, perhaps 15 minutes into the mission, a little too long methinks, perhaps you can start them closer?
The other problem is that they kept sidestepping the town your meant to ambush them completely and I looked at their wayponts and it seems that there is no waypoint taking them thru town -but to the rear of the church rather.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by Herr_Kalashnikov over 7 years ago
First thanks for the feedback greatly appreciated.
I started playtesting some missions myself tonight, and found some odd bugs preventing to behave properly. As i didnt change any stuff in the mission itselfs (just scripts and declarations) yet, i reinstalled Arma1 to experience it in there. As a shock to me alot of these bugs where there in ArmA1 to :) For instance that Doleres mission, in ArmA1 the first group of tanks just bounce down the road and sometimes tend to drop down from the bridge.
The last CAA1 update made it possible for the AI to drive the roads. It still isn't as good as in ArmA1, they tend to start abit disorganised but when there on the way they follow the roads at nice speeds.
Beaten Dog
Yeah thats a real nice mission it was always my favourite. Shooting loads of flanking infantry with a machine gun :) The 1st part work very good, nice immersive action with the AT rounds flying aoround at the start. The 2nd part isnt relay working well like Kju mentioned. Those vehicles just spam grenades and there isn't much u can do. I will look into a proper vehicle replacement which isnt that anti infantry.
I actualy just played that and that mission needs to get fixed. In my try the convoy seemed to get to their destination without me spotting them. The midway radio command came up nicely so they moved passed the trigger. Did see 1 unaware bmp in the horizon and 1 min later i got a mission failed. Something seriously wrong there, will look into it.
RE: Armed Assault campaign - Added by kju over 7 years ago
I dont know much about convoys, yet there was a convoy manager
released in BIF the other day.

What is a DOI? How do I find one?
DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier, a system used to identify content online. A DOI is a unique number assigned to items, like scholarly articles, on the Web. A DOI looks like this: doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(09)60206-3.
Some citation styles, such as APA, now require DOIs in references to electronic articles.
If you have an article citation without a DOI, you can look up the DOI at CrossRef.org. Likewise, if you have a DOI but not the citation information, you can look up the citation at DOI.org.
For example, pasting the DOI above into the search box on DOI.org, retrieves this citation information:Mechanical supports for acute, severe ankle sprain: a pragmatic, multicentre, randomised controlled trial
The Lancet, Volume 373, Issue 9663, Pages 575-581
S. Lamb, J. Marsh, J. Hutton, R. Nakash, M. Cooke
Putting the citation information above into the CrossRef.org form, retrieves this DOI:doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(09)60206-3
Some articles and journals do not provide DOIs--it is the publisher's preference to include or not to include a DOI. When citing an article without a DOI, check the style manual (APA, AMA, ect.) for guidance.

It's a shame I jiggled the camera, August flipped the stone over and is cleaning the bottom, just like Dad.

crouching down, getting ready to throw
Notice the different skip's stances?
I think it should go here
I'm here to sweep, after the skip decides what shot to call
Here it comes
The broom is on the tee line
Yes, he deliverd with it too
Watching the results after the delivery, but you don't see him sweeping do you?

Hello Pali friends,
The expression 'ekāyana maggo' is used in Satipatthana formula, Mahasihanada sutta, three Jatakas, and explained in Niddesa.
In Mahasihanada Sutta (MN I 74) this term is used with the meaning "leading to only one place":
37. (1) "By encompassing mind with mind I understand a certain person thus: 'This person so behaves, so conducts himself, has taken such a path that on the dissolution of the body, after death, he will reappear in a state of deprivation, in an unhappy destination, in perdition, in hell.' And then later on, with the divine eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, I see that on the dissolution of the body, after death, he has reappeared in a state of deprivation, in an unhappy destination, in perdition, in hell, and is experiencing extremely painful, racking, piercing feelings. Suppose there were a charcoal pit deeper than a man's height full of glowing coals without flame or smoke; and then a man scorched and exhausted by hot weather, weary, parched and thirsty, came by a path going in one way only and directed to that same charcoal pit. Then a man with good sight on seeing him would say: 'This person so behaves, so conducts himself, has taken such a path, that he will come to this same charcoal pit'; and then later on he sees that he has fallen into that charcoal pit and is experiencing extremely painful, racking, piercing feelings. So too, by encompassing mind with mind... piercing feelings.
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/canon/su ... mn012.html
If we apply the same meaning to Satipatthana sutta usage, then the meaning would be 'leading to only one place (Nibbana) [and no other place]'.
Atthakatha (Commentary) to Satipatthana sutta (see English translation by Soma Thera below) gives five meanings, which includes (in translation of Rupert Gethin):
1) eka-maggo aya.m bhikkhave maggo na dvedhaa-patha-bhuuto ti eva.m attho da.t.thabbo
(this path is a path to one (destination), not a forked path)
2) ekena ayitabbo
(a path that is ekāyana is one to be travelled alone)
3) ekassa ayano ekāyano; ekassā ti seṭṭhassa; sabba-satta-seṭṭho va bhagavā
(the ekāyana path is the path of 'the one' in the sense of 'the best', which means 'the best of all beings', namely the Buddha)
4) ayatī ti va ayano; gacchati gacchati pavattatī ti attho; ekasmiṃ ayano ti ekāyano
(an ekāyano path is a path that occurs or is found in just one place; in the present context that is in the dhamma-vinaya of the Buddha)
5) eka.m ayatii ti ekaayano
eka.m nibbaana.m eva gacchatii ti vutta.m hoti
(a path that is ekaayana is one that goes to one place only, namely Nibbana)
The three Jataka usages are:
Ja IV 349:
sūkarehi samaggehi vyaggho ekāyane hato ti
Atthakatha explains is as: 'tattha ekāyane hato ti eka-gamasmiṃ yeva hato' - 'The tiger was killed at one charge by the pigs en masse.'
In Jaat. 524:
ekaayane ta.m pathe addasaasi.m balena va.n.nena upeta-rupa.m
One can just make guesses about this verse (Ja V 172-3) since it's not explained neither in the text nor in Atthakatha to this passage.
In Jaat. 537 (Ja VI 557):
2194. "Ekaayano ekapatho, saraa sobbhaa ca passato;
a~n~na.m magga.m na passaami, yena gaccheyya assama.m.
In the Atthakatha to this verse it is explained as narrow path:
Ekaayanoti ekasseva ayano ekapadikamaggo.
To complete the picture, here is Niddesa explanation, from "The Buddhist Path to Awakening" by Rupert Gethin:
"Interestingly though, the late canonical Niddesa does extend the application of the term ekaayana-magga to all seven sets. The Niddesa comments that the Blessed One is eka because because he has travelled the ekaayana-path (bhagavaa ekaayana-magga.m gato ti eko) and then goes on to explain the ekaayana-path as 'the four extablishings of mindfulness, the four right endeavours, the four bases of success, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven awakening-factors, the noble eightfold path' (Nidd I 455-6). The Niddesa then quotes the following verse:
Seeing the end and destruction of birth, he knows the ekaayana-path in friendliness and compassion; by this path they crossed the flood in the past, they will cross [it in the future] and they cross [it now].
(This verse is also found at S V 168, 186, and is quoted at Sv III 745, Ps I 230.)
So it is, says the Niddesa, that the Blessed One is eka because he has travelled the ekaayana-path (eva.m bhagavaa ekaayana-magga.m gato ti eko). At the same time as extending the term ekaayana-magga to all seven sets, the Niddesa also preserves a tradition of the term's special association with sati or 'mindfulness': 'that which is mindfulness, recollection ... the awakening-factor of mindfulness, the ekaayana-path - this is called mindfuless.' (Nidd I 10, 347, 506)"
Metta, Dmytro

eric which one did u get? did you go with the parks board and bindings?
eric which one did u get? did you go with the parks board and bindings?
I am already stoked with the difference in the bindings!! I was going to pick up another pair of bindings for my old boards, but I will probably just pick up another board and bindings and use the excuse "it's for my boys"
Actually they probably could use a new board also, they have been on my 10 year old 144s but they only weigh about a buck sixty to 170. The way they progressed last year, I am sure by the end of next May they will be better than me anyway.
I love buying last year's models, espcially when the new ones are only a color change, I used to do that with my snow skies and snow boards - buy the last year's leftovers and then paint them with black primer so no one would want to steal them.
if im not mistaken atr in a diff bonding procees they use. makes the board firmer and wont felx as much and give u more pop and feed back it also has the krpto cable which run around the edge of the board to help it maintain shape.
ahh how bout this!!!
Attachment 16636
i love there bindings i orderd some for my board as well gonna put the harleys back on the old viva.
yes might as well get them a newer board sized to fit them it would be a night and day comparison. youll be amazed at how different the board rides than your old one. it will also help your riding progress and let you beable to ride longer because you arent have to work as hard
i also always buy last years model saves you a ton of money but this may be the first yr i pay full retail because the new Ronix One Time Bomb addition board and bindings are amazing i love the new color up and they all so did some work on the channel and fin setup. its just a jam up board flat out and has the looks to go with it and they know it cause they matched the price with it too. you should check it out EVO.com has them

How Duke and Alabama Met in the 1945 Sugar Bowl
The 1945 Sugar Bowl was an almost complete reversal of form from the previous 10 pairings. This one, at first glance, looked to be a pumpkin; but at the stroke of midnight, it was transformed into the princess.
Again, the war made for odd pairings, but Georgia Tech again had a representative team in the South, one in which the Mid-Winter Sports Association was definitely interested. The Orange Bowl made a bold bid and invited the Engineers to Miami for a rematch of the 1944 Sugar Bowl with Tulsa. Tech still had two games to play, including one with Notre Dame.
Tennessee was on its way to an 8-0-1 season but quickly committed to the Rose Bowl, the big winner in the holiday sweepstakes with the only two ranked teams (seventh-ranked Southern Cal and the 12th-ranked Volunteers). The Sugar Bowl was sent scrambling. Alabama, an SEC also-ran with one loss and two ties, was eventually selected. Coach Frank Thomas was surprised when the invitation arrived. The Southern Conference champion Duke, beaten four times, would be the opponent. Duke was also a Navy training team.
Alabama, a civilian school that didn't even field a team the year before and started the 1944 season with only one backfield regular as old as 18, came under some pressure not to accept because it didn't appear to be an equitable match. Thomas resisted initially but finally accepted.
Thomas, the second coach in two years to complete the major bowl circuit in New Orleans, knew full well what he was getting into. Asked how his team felt, Thomas replied, "They're too young to know any different than they're going to win. I'm not going to tell them any different."
For the first time since Pearl Harbor the Sugar Bowl would be an absolute sellout of 73,000. It may not have been a stellar attraction compared to the other bowls, but a lot of fans wanted to see Alabama-Duke.
Other than the buoyant atmosphere prevalent toward the end of a war, it is hard to see how Alabama-Duke would create much excitement. Purely and simply, it appeared to be a case of men against boys, as the Blue Devils' two-touchdown pick reflected. Alabama's line had only one man who weighed as much as 200 pounds - center Vaughn Mancha. Eighteen year-old Harry Gilmer guided the Crimson Tide offense. In contrast, the older, heavier Duke trainees looked to 23-year-old Tom Davis for leadership. Davis was a Marine lieutenant who had been discharged in September and had returned to school.
Coach Eddie Cameron, who had taken over at Duke while Wallace Wade, also a former Alabama coach, was in the service, realized he could be stepping into a trap. Coach Cameron said the odds were "silly" and read a letter to his team from Colonel Wade, a field artillery officer in France, who wrote that he would be listening and was "setting up a special cheering section over here to help the boys along." In reference to two previous Duke bowl losses, Wad added, "Tell the boys they've got to win this one. We don't want to be three-time losers at anything - especially football."
Thomas, on the other hand would have made the odds higher. The Alabama coach, speaking to the New Orleans Quarterback Club, couldn't contain a gush of praise for his team. Chairman Lester Lautenschlager reminded Thomas that it was a bit out of his character to do that before a big game. "I believe in giving the kids the credit they deserve," Thomas reflected. "The boys are young, and are just about the hustlingest team I've had. I wouldn't say it is the greatest team I've coached, but they have more enthusiasm and love to play."
When asked for a prediction, Thomas thought for a few seconds, then answered, "Duke 21, Alabama 6." Lautenschlaeger said, "I understand you told somebody before it would be 21-0." "I did," Thomas admitted with a smile, "but I've become enthused myself since coming to the Quarterback Club and now I think we'll score!"
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

This was a story on the Today Show this morning and will be part of a special series starting on Nightly News.
Gist: There is an underground community (?) that people can contact to "re-home" kids they've adopted internationally. I don't know if its only international children or any adopted child but the focus were on those who were adopted out of the country this morning. The woman doing the investigation said people post on different chat rooms (yahoo had 6 different rooms they shut down within hours of being contacted by the woman doing the story) saying they can't do it and want the kid gone. It can be as simple as just meeting someone at a truck stop and giving someone else all the kids belongings. No lawyer, no background check, nothing. It isn't considered trafficking because typically no money is exchanged. Making this perfectly legal.
Debate: When are we as a country going to do an overhaul of all adoption procedures? And is there a way to prevent this type of...child exchange? Should there be a "way out" when you adopt a child and decide it isn't what you wanted anymore?
