Anyone available tomorrow AM?
We have a marine biologist / member visiting Woods Hole Oceanographic from Seattle who I am going to have to leave hanging tomorrow morning with a perfect tide! I can't pull off the half day I had hoped due to craziness at work.
He has time in the morning to fish. He brought his own gear and is ready to rock. If anyone can chase fall fish on the cape or Rhody with Howzer please let me know either here or by email. Thanks in advance! |
Juro, thanks for being such a good agent. Based on my trip out here last fall, I'll have half a clue about where to go and what to do. The thing that'll really get me is the lack of a fish magnet. Last year my success might have led me to believe there were no fish around, but watching you and your gang hook fish left and right showed me what a lousy barometer my success was! I'll be out at Chatham tomorrow at dawn, I'll be the guy with the mini-stripping basket and navy blue windbreaker.
Still working on it... don't give up on us just yet. I am working a 12+ hours shift today you'd think I could swing a morning off now and then, huh? >(
We'll get ahold of you one way or another, you got my phone #s too... |
sorry about the crappy cell phone connection this afternoon, someday we'll have end to end coverage on the Mass Pike **sigh**. Howzer. Hope you log on one more time before the end of the night. 50/50 chance I'll be able to get down for a few hours tomorrow AM. Look for the blue Tahoe with the yak-rack on the roof. If I don't make it... catch 'em up for all of us who wish we could be there! |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:45 AM. |

hello all,
i'm working on a project currently using max/msp. I'm interested in using the $100 laptop to run the max patch that I create. It seems to meet the minimum required specs. for Runtime. Does anyone know if it MAX/ MSP and/ or Runtime work on the $100 laptop?
from the website: "specs We are using components from Red Hat's Fedora Core 6 version of the Linux operating system"
take a look at PD (or CSound, which is already installed on the machines.)
that would be a really good idea. I have got max 4.5 to run under wine in a distro of fedora (i think it was 6) So it is possible but it was really really stressful. From the news of max 5 there could one day be hope for a linux version, but until then windows or osx is the options. good luck with your experimenting though be great if you get it working.

Let us tell you about notable Max projects, obscure facts, and creative media artists of all kinds.

I was so excited to learn about all the beautiful wildflowers. There are so many different kinds like Lupine, Indian Paint Brush, and so many others. I don't know how I'll ever remember them all! I never would have thought that one place could be so full of information and beauty.
-Becca D.
On the second day of our stay here in Wyoming, we went on a hike. On breaks during the hike we played many different games. Some of the games included "Ninja," "Birdie on a Perch," "Black Magic," "Camouflage," "Master Tracker," "Predator." Other games we played didn't have a specific name, but were known as different names by different girls. After a wonderful hike and delicious dinner, we all headed back to the Main Lodge and relaxed and played more games, such as "People to People," and "The Big Wind Blows."
Most of the games we've played have been very interesting. "People to People" was a great learning game. We all learned lots of new things about everyone. I hope we get to learn some more games!
Path Maps
Today all the girls presented their Path Maps. If you don't know what Path Maps are, they're a way of sharing the journey of your life in the form of a map. We put where we're from and many of our interests that all lead up to this trip to Wyoming. We left a blank space on our Path Maps because on the last day we will fill in that blank space with something that we learned or got out of our trip. I loved the idea of the Path Maps.

GMAC's fifth National Drivers Test reveals just how horrible — along with news drivers nationwide are getting worse. The study, the fifth annual GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test, found 20.1% of licensed Americans — roughly 41 million drivers — would not pass a 20-question standard DMV written drivers test exam if taken today. And those numbers of knowledge of basic road rules have been decreasing with each year the survey is given, with this year's test scores lower than last year's (76.6 percent vs. 78.1 percent). State-by-state, Idaho and Wisconsin drivers tied for first in the nation, with an average test score of 80.6%; New York drivers ranked last, with an average score of 70.5%. Figures. Don't think this is an anomaly — it's the second time Idaho ranked first and the second time New York has ranked last in the survey's five-year history. Advertisement Advertisement As you'd also expect from those numbers, the lowest average test scores geographically occurred in the Northeast, while the states in the Midwest held the highest averages.When comparing genders, men are still more likely to pass the test than women, but the gap is considerably smaller in 2009 (81 percent of males versus 79 percent of females) than in 2008 (87 percent of males versus 80 percent of females).Want to take the test yourself? Head on over to the website of GMAC Insurance and see how you score. Let us know in the comments below. Let's see if Jalopnik readers can beat Idaho.

Two blogs better than one
Starting from today I've decided to split Adverblog's content in two parts: interactive marketing will still be featured on Adverblog, while mobile marketing and other issues related to the mobile world will have their on space on Mmoom.com.
Making Money Out of Mobile (Mmoom) is in fact a new blog dedicated to mobile marketing and marketing in the mobile industry.
As you can see I've changed Adverblog's layout and one more time I have to thank my brother Marco for the nice graphic he designed. I understand the layout might look a little minimal, but it's surely more practical for blogging.
I've also upgraded the MovableType version which will hopefully help me adding new features (i.e. content subcategories) and comments (if spammers leave us alone). The upgrade has been somehow painful, I've imported all Adverblog's entries, but unfortunately files' names will not match. So if you have old links to single pages on my site they will probably no longer work…
All right, that's about it! I hope you'll enjoy reading both blogs. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

New QPR signing DJ Campbell admits it is nice to "come home" and has now targeted an England call-up.
The 29-year-old rejoined rejoined the club with whom he spent his formative years on Thursday, penning a two-year deal at Loftus Road to end his successful spell with Blackpool.
"I've got ambitions with my national team, which hopefully one day I can achieve, and that was a big part of me coming back into the Premier League," Campbell told talkSPORT.
Campbell snubbed interest interest from other clubs in the Barclays Premier League to become manager Neil Warnock's fourth summer signing and admitted it is great to return to west London.
"I can't wait. Obviously I left a great club in Blackpool but I have signed for another great club in QPR," he said.
"It is a club that I supported as a boy and I am looking forward to it.
"Every game in this league is going to be hard as a I knew last season but the gaffer has a good squad here and hopefully we can all stick together and push in the same direction.
"Everyone in this league can be beaten but obviously you can beaten by every team in this league so it is going to be tough but it is a challenge we're looking forward to.
"There were a few clubs in for me but QPR are my home club and the club I supported as a boy.
"It is the area I know very as that is where my family is from and stuff. When I found out they were interested it was great to come home."

The American Empire has grown too fast, and the fault lines at home are stressed to the breaking point. The war of words between Right and Left has collapsed into a shooting war, though most people just want to be left alone.
The battle rages between the high-technology weapons on one side and militia foot-soldiers on the other, devastating the cities and overrunning the countryside. But the vast majority, who only want the killing to stop and the nation to return to more peaceful days, have technology, weapons, and strategic geniuses of their own.
When the American dream shatters into violence, who can hold the people and the government together? And which side will you be on?

"Couldn't be timelier...heartfelt and sobering....All the action doesn't obscure the author's message about the dangers of extreme political polarization and the need to reassert moderation and mutual citizenship...it drives it home." (Booklist)
If I had picked up this book without looking at the author's name I would never have guessed that Scott Card was the author. Card is one of my favorite authors and I've read many of his books, both fiction and nonfiction. But I was disappointed with this read. The plot depended too much on coincidence to explain the action. And while Card is a master of character development I felt that the characters in Empire were paper thin lacking depth and personality. I simply never got to know these folks.
There were surprises throughout the story which is a good thing in a novel but I felt the explanations for some of these events lacked any believable logic.
While I found the book's basic concept intriguing I just wish Card could have used his magic to bring the story to life as he has so many times before.
"Good pace, weak premise"
While the pace of this book was engaging, the premise was not. Progressive democrats invading NYC with their own mechanized militia? Then easily footnoted by a few special ops boys? Kind of laughable and, at best, overly simplistic.
I stuck with this book because I kept waiting for a second or third dimension to be revealed - some gritty contradiction perhaps, or actual character development.
The final affront is the afterword in which the author, lacking any real analysis, provides predictable right-ish political commentary. Should have quit while I was ahead.
I'm a software engineer working out of Toronto Canada. I enjoy science fiction but have started to drift into other areas.
"Even a great author can have a bad day"
America?s War on Terror is being fought and won across the globe. Ruben Mallitch is a bona fide hero in that war and a rising star in the US Army. After completing his tour of duty in the Middle East he is promoted to Major and returns home to complete a Masters Degree at Princeton and then assume new duties in the Pentagon. Those duties include identifying weaknesses in domestic counter-terrorism efforts and formulating plans to exploit them. His ?unofficial? duties include acting as a covert go-between for the White House in the world?s hot spots.
This double life doesn?t trouble him until he witnesses a plan he prepared being executed by terrorists.
Are you hooked yet? I was! This has the makings of a fantastic story.
Orson Scott Card?s military SF offerings are unique in that the military characters are believable. In Empire, the author manages to convince us that Mallitch is both a Professional Soldier and a Patriot without him becoming a parody. He isn?t cold-blooded and mindless, he thinks about, and believes in, what he is doing!
Something terrible happened to Empire on the way to its conclusion:? having made the effort to develop the characters; the author doesn?t find anything useful for them to do!
Empire maintains Audio Renaissance?s high production standards and the reading, by Stefan Rudnicki, is clear, precise and well paced. Unfortunately their efforts cannot save this story from itself.
"Couldn't take it"
This audiobook annoyed me too many times. It's a neat idea for a story, but I couldn't stand the combination of Card's sometimes tedious dialogue and the monotonous, unchanging pacing of the narrator's reading. Whether it's violent action or casual conversation, the narrator never seems to alter his pace or tone (at least not in the first half of the book, which is all I listened to). I have to mention one particular scene that simply bugged me: a guy is shooting at one of the protagonists with a shotgun, and the guy being shot at evades the shot by simply jumping in the air, the shot missing him between his legs. I'm sorry, that's just stupid. Not altogether impossible I suppose, but stupid nonetheless.
"Good story (not great) a little preachy"
I haven't read anything from Orson Scott Card that was quite like this before. Perhaps it is the fact that conspiracy theories are not my favorite Genre, but I didn't really enjoy this book that much. The story was decent but there are a lot of authors who do this kind of story a lot better. And the Ideal logy that was being presented isn't something I completely agree with either.
While I too agree that we should not be so extremely left or right that we cannot see anything the other side is trying to show us. There does come a time when we have to stand up for what we believe in.
There I go assuming that I too know more than you do and feeling the need to preach my own "enlightened" theories, sorry.
This book was Just OK for me.
"Ridiculous but Entertaining"
Nearly everyone love's Ender's Game who reads it, this author's best known work. This book is far, far from that though. It's not sci-fi but almost immediate future and so all the completely absurd weaponry, and unbelievable military prowess is simply not credible. In fact, very little of it is believable which really ruins the story (and I like stuff from Clancy or Ludlum for example). OSC is also incredibly heavy handed with his right wing cheerleading - for example, we're meant to accept that CNN is just as crazy left-wing as Fox news is right. I don't think even Rush Limbaugh would agree with that.
The book is well read though, and you probably won't be bored, just irritated.
"Great Premise, Fair Delivery"
This is kind of like a politically-oriented Crichton novel, just not as well thought out or written. I like the premise of a "new civil war", but it's execution is fair at best. Many of the characters are stereotypes -- and cardboard ones at that -- and there are holes in the plot large enough to drive a few "mechs" through. (Read the book and you'll get the reference>)
That said, I still basically enjoyed to book. The plot moves along fairly quickly, some of the stereotypes are spot on, and Card does make one really consider the impact of overheated political rhetoric.
a dedicated dilettante
"Red State vs. Blue State-> Benevolent Dicatator?"
Orson Scott Card does nothing if he doesn't thoroughly analyze a topic through his novels. Some may be pure fiction, such as time travel analyzed in Pathfinder and Ruins, stand-ins for the non-fictional such as the Ender series where he analyzes hatred of and hostility towards those who are different (Ender's Game), then dealing with the consequences of how you treat those who are "other", alien or different than you. In Empire and Hidden Empire, Mr. Card reflects on the political chasm of those who are conservative and those who are liberal (red state vs. blue state), a civil war that results from the chasm and a potential leader who views the only solution to that and other global problems is to become a benevolent dictator, albeit one who keeps the form of democracy.
As is my typical practices, I went between the Kindle and Audible versions of Empire but the Audible version only of Hidden Empire. Mr. Card provides the narrative introduction to each chapter while Stefan Rudnicki narrates the core of the story. Mr. Rudnicki is a consummate narrator and he brings his golden voice, deft pacing and perfect inflections to bear on these stories. He ranges from a Southern soldier and an eastern-seaboard house wives / political wonk to an Hispanic soldier and a Nigerian boy; now that's range. An amazing job, as always. Rusty Humphries joins the narration effort in Hidden Empire and does fine job essentially playing himself. If you enjoy audio books, you'll like this version.

"Could have been exceptional"
I really appreciate the works of this author and when I started this book it sounded like it was going to be one of his best ever. I actually listened to the entire book in two sittings. The ending of the book really fell off. It almost seems like the author just wanted to be done with it so he wrapped up too many loose ends with some rather simplistic conclusions.
Even though the ending kind of let me down-I would still recommend it as a listen that is as good as most. But for this author-it could have been so much more. There was one real shocker with the demise of one of the characters-I won't spoil if for you but it comes as a real suprise.
I've been an Audie Awards judge since 2008. I have enjoyed audiobooks since the days when they were called "Books on Tape".
"Entertaining Escape"
Taken for what it is, a work of Science Fiction, it is an entertaining escape. The listener should not bring any preconceived notions beyond this. It is fascinating and entertaining. However, it is fiction. It does not appear to be a discourse of his own political opinions (despite what others say) - save for the aftward.
However, Mr. Orson Scott Card, for whom I'm an immense fan, should re-read his Civil War history, for the causes he cites here for the cause of this fictional civil war are similar to the REAL causes of the last civil war and though opinions crossed boarders, it was a matter of mostly rural states vs. mostly urban (mostly urban states holding the majority vote).
In this fictional civial war it was the about liberals vs. conservates (liberal opinions being mostly urban and convervatives being mostly rural) - he supposes that the next war will fracture along county lines as opposed to State lines... Perhaps. But perhaps for different reasons than he supposes. Primarily because of the fact that after Civil War 1, the US congress made it illegal for States to secede. Seceding later became more difficult after the State Militia was turned over to the National Guard - taking any military power out of the hands of individual states. Therefore, nothing but a complete takeover of the government by it's own military and backed by a majority of 350 million mostly armed citizens would work.
Mr. Card needs to understand that the seemingly polorized opinions amongst the media (he being sort of in the media), does not represent the opinions of most Americans who are as fractured in their alignments along the lines of the political spectrum as he is. We merely choose sides based on what it most important to us. So it is not inconceivable that there are many Republicans that are pro-choice or many Democrats who are ani-gun control. As we are not in the media, we are drowned out by the money backed party line.

TELEMUSIK Structure 6 and 7 on Max 5
In this example, we have realized an entire structure of Stockhausen's TELEMUSIK; namely the glissandi in structures 6 and 7. In brief, a function generator is programmed to generate a train of pulses at a relatively fast frequency and gradually slow down to a frequency of 0.222 Hz (1/4.5 Hz). This generator is then used in 8 simultaneous tracks, each controlled by a different evolution envelope.
Both the audio circuit and the presentation of the patch were entirely realized within Max 5.

Standard Chartered Hid Iran Transactions
The Standard Chartered Bank is being accused of hiding roughly 60,000 illegal transactions with Iranians. The New York State Department of Financial Services is accusing the British bank of deliberately falsifying records in order to cover up the transactions, which are reportedly worth $250 billion. U.S. law requires transactions with Iranian banks to be closely monitored, in order to prevent the use of American banks to finance the country's nuclear programs or terrorist organizations. According to the report, Standard's dealings "left the U.S. financial system vulnerable to terrorists, weapons dealers, drug kingpins and corrupt regimes."

Theology is a compound of two Latin words:
meaning God and
meaning the study of. Science comes from the Latin root
which means to know. A Scientific Theology is thus the study of God based on empirical knowledge: actual facts.
Many believe that it is impossible to "know God." They say his nature is such that the human mind could never comprehend Him. According to scripture/prophets God desires to be known.
According to a hadith of Prophet Muhammad, Allah said, "I was a hidden treasure; I wanted to be known. Hence, I created the world so that I might be known."
Quetzacoatel, Black God of Mexico
Godfrey Higgins, Anacalypsis: An Inquiry Into the Origins of Languages, Nations, and Religions states, "We have found the Black complexion or something relating to it whenever we hae approached the origin of nations. The Alma Mater, the Goddess Multimammia, the founders of the Oracles, the Memnon of first idols, were always Black. Venus Jupiter Apollo Bacchus hercules Asteroth Adonis Horus Apis Osiris and Amen: in short All the deities were black."
All of the ancient civilizationsof the Black Man and Woman understood that the Most High conveyed himself through the body of the Black Man.
, a Greek word coming from
meaning man and
meaning form.
Manley P Hall, in Man: Grand Symbol of the Mysteries, says: "Eusebius, on the authority of Porphyry, wrote that the Egyptians acknowledged one intellectual author or creator of the world; that they worshipped him in a human form and dark blue complexion blue-black..."

chrome hooks
I finally bought the 2010 Lade today. I bought chrome hooks at the dealer. Do the old ones simply unbolt and pull through the front of the bumper? I thought I could do these myself instead of paying the dealer. By the way, it is a black on black luxury with DVD (I will never use)

Re: chrome hooks
I'm not sure, but you may have to remove the square black surrounds before pulling the hooks out.

Re: chrome hooks
The one side is a pain compared to the other side, I put chrome tow hooks on all my trucks, did my 10' yesterday, they unbolt, I pulled them thru the front surround and bolted the new ones in, on a lift it took me about 20 minutes. Congrats on your new truck.

Re: chrome hooks
Hey HCVONE,
I do not have a lift, were you able to use air tools on the passenger side. I could remove the bolt with the nut on it, but I could not get the other one loose. I do not have an air rachet, but could borrow one. Otherwise, it may be eaiser to pay the dealer. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements

Congratulations to you and DH!
I have had my Garmin for 4 years but the battery died about 6 months ago- I do miss it and will have to get around to taking care of it soon.
Easy 8 miles for me today, probably just mow the lawn tomorrow after work.
PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.
10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.
an amazing likeness
Congratulations on the wedding anniversary VF!
I agree with you, the ability to just go run and let the GPS log the data is great. I actually set mine up so that I have this one screen which doesn't give me any pace or time info just so I don't get any feedback on pace/time, etc.
The two things I love...love...love about working out with a GPS device are setting up interval workouts in it (which is easy as pie!), and having average pace and last split pace when running a race.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
Team 9 from Outer Space
I am sure I don't know how to really use the functions on my Garmin. It beeps the mile markers and I dump all the info off when I get home. I probably have it on default (time/pace/distance) display, but that's enough for me.
Training is going well, I think. I have no problem with consistency, but I'm 23 days out from my half and I need to work on the mental part. I've tried to sort of follow Macmillan paces to see if it would help. I'm surprised to find that I usually enjoy the tempos and I'm stronger on hill day than I expect. Last year I stayed with the 2:30 pace bunny and finished 2:28. I want to be faster this time, but I think the 2:15 bunny will be too quick so I don't know whether to pace myself or go with the 2:30 rabbit until 10 or 11 miles. And I signed up for a 10K three weeks after the half.
"Don't feel like running today...suck it up and run ...you're an athlete." (John Stanton, founder & owner of The Running Room)
Three half marathons later, I got a number. Half Fanatic #9292. :)
If the weather is cool and you are feeling good I would take the bold approach and try for 2:15- I am pretty sure you can do it.
I have sometimes been conservative and regretted it afterwards.
Your log is looking so good, Meg -- you have a lot more base miles this year compared to last, and are currenty logging a steady diet of 30 mile weeks....are you sure you're not underselling what you can do in terms of pace? What if you start out with the 2:15 group and decide to let them go only if you have to after 5 - 6 miles?
Anyway, all I'm really trying to say is to not sell your training short, you've put in a lot of work to build miles and pace will come from that hard work.
Really rained hard during my run tonight, so hard it soaked through my shoes and socks.
I could hear the drops on the tree leaves, on the car roofs, the house roofs and the road.
I must say I enjoyed it, it has been a long time- felt like a kid again.
I'm feeling pretty strong on my runs these days. The mental stuff is tougher for me; I don't want to tank my race out of nerves so I'm working on trying to let go of the worry and put my trust in my training. I've done the miles and I've done tempos which I'd never done in training before this year. (And this morning's run put me over 725 miles which was my stretch goal for this year because at New Year's, I didn't know how much I was going to run. LOL!)
Simon, I love running in that sort of rain unless it's cold.
I LOVE running in the rain! Glad you had a nice run Simon! I find it sort of freeing...and I love the looks I get from people in their cars as they pass me, LOL.
Meg I agree with MT!!! I think you are going to rock this thing! A little bit of nerves are ok, but don't get bogged down with them. Your log is rock solid and your training will pay off. Just trust your body and tell your mind to go with the flow
I foresee a sub 2:15!!!

text: A Maryland state Senate committee on Tuesday held a hearing on a bill that would ban anti-transgender discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodation. "Many of the most vulnerable people in the LGBT community are left with no legal protections in our state laws," state Sen. Rich Madaleno (D-Montgomery County,) who introduced Senate Bill 449 or the Fairness for All Marylanders Act of 2013 late last month with state Sen. Jamie Raskin (D-Montgomery County,) said. He noted lawmakers in 2001 added sexual orientation, but not gender identity and expression to Maryland's anti-discrimination law. "I come before you today as the sponsor of Senate Bill 449 with my good friend from Montgomery County and ask you to fix this omission and ensure that all Marylanders, including my transgender sisters and brothers, are afforded protection under our anti-discrimination laws."

By Terry Mattingly
Dave Brubeck had a problem and, as a short concert intermission turned into a long and mysterious delay, the jazz master sheepishly came back on stage to make a confession.
It seemed that his son Chris had locked his electric bass in a dressing room and the Baylor University stage crew couldn't find the right key. Without that bass, the Two Generations of Brubeck ensemble -- pianist Brubeck backed by sons Chris on bass, Dan on drums and Darius on electric keyboards -- was in trouble.
"I really don't know what to do," said Brubeck, on that night in the mid-1970s.
High in the Waco Hall balcony, a voice called out: "Play the piano!"
Brubeck laughed and went to the keyboard. First he played some Bach, which evolved into gentle jazz improvisations that eventually turned into a stomping blues that roared on and on -- until Chris Brubeck finally had his bass.
Afterwards, Brubeck explained that, for him, music was music and he never could separate the many forms of music that he loved. In later interviews -- four in all, over three decades -- it became clear to me that his religious beliefs followed a similar path down the years.
Brubeck died of heart failure on Dec. 5, the day before he would have been 92.
As a composer, Brubeck was haunted by themes of justice and faith and, even during the glory years of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, he expressed his yearnings in explicitly religious classical works, often with lyrics written with his wife Iola.
"Really, I have trouble expressing myself about these things. I still do," he told me, during a 1984 interview that was published in the National Catholic Reporter. "Have you ever seen the notes in 'Light in the Wilderness'? ... I really said it all there. That still says what I believe -- although I guess no one's beliefs ever really stay the same.
"To me it all seems like the same journey."
In the liner notes for that 1968 recording, Brubeck wrote: "Although reared as a Presbyterian by a Christian Scientist mother who attended a Methodist church, and, although this piece was written with the theological counsel of a Vedanta leader, a Unitarian minister, an Episcopal bishop and several Jesuit priests, I am not affiliated with any church."
In particular, he cited the influence of "three Jewish teachers" -- philosopher Irving Goleman, classical composer Darius Milhaud and Jesus.
"This composition is, I suppose, simply one man's attempt to distill his own thought and to express in his own way the essence of Jesus' teaching," wrote Brubeck.
Eventually, Brubeck -- who had never been baptized as a child -- stunned his family by making the leap from his liberal Protestant background to Catholicism. The decision grew directly out of his experiences composing a Mass, completed in 1979, at the request of the Our Sunday Visitor publishing company.
Brubeck wrote "To Hope! A Celebration" in stages and, once it was complete, discovered that he had failed to write an "Our Father" anthem. During a family vacation in the Caribbean, he dreamed the entire missing piece -- jumping out of bed to sketch parts for chorus and orchestra.
The experience left Brubeck so shaken that he decided to be baptized as a Catholic, at Our Lady of Fatima parish in Wilton, Conn. While many insisted on calling him a convert, he always resisted that term and repeatedly explained that he found it impossible to describe precisely what he was "converting from" when he decided to enter Catholicism.
"You could say I was a lot of things or you could say I was nothing in particular" before becoming a Catholic, said Brubeck, the last time I interviewed him. "My wife and my kids didn't understand why I wanted to join the Catholic church. I'm not even sure I completely understood what happened. ... It was a calling."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Eight people died in crashes on Minnesota roads over the weekend, making it the deadliest weekend of 2013.
The Minnesota State Patrol says three of those victims died in a Sunday crash on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis when some minor contact between three vehicles caused a minivan driver to lose control and rollover. Five others in the minivan were injured.
The names of the victims who died in that crash have not been released. But authorities say they are an 80-year-old woman, a 44-year-old woman, and a 16-year-old male. They were not wearing seat belts.
The weekend's fatalities also include a motorcyclist who ran a red light in Brooklyn Park, hitting another vehicle.
State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske urges motorists to buckle up, drive at safe speeds and pay attention.

Ready to steal Jennifer Lopez's chic and sexy hairstyle? This braided bun is a snap to recreate, thanks to the tips by Nick Penna of SalonCapri. Here's how to get the look in six easy steps:
Carefully brush out all the knots in wet hair. Nick recommends that this hairstyle is easiest to start on smooth, untangled hair. When you're in the shower, apply a dime-size drop of your favorite conditioner so that when you go to comb your wet hair, it doesn't get caught in knots and break easily.

- Multicarrier Converters Conquer Ku/Ka Bands
- A Tale Of The Numbers
These frequency upconverters and downconverters help reduce the complexity of satcom system infrastructure while also providing improved performance levels at Ku- and Ka-band frequency bands.
A Tale Of The Numbers
Taking a closer look at the frequency downconverters, each is specified for input and output return loss (at 50 Ω) of 18 dB. The downconverters provide two or three IF outputs at +18 dBm or more output levels, with 30-dB gain, flat within ±3 dB. Gain can be adjusted independently for each IF output, in increments of 0.2 dB, over a gain-control range of 30 dB. At constant temperature, the gain is stable within ±0.25 dB/day and within ±2 dB over a 1-GHz bandwidth and temperature range of -40 to +50ºC. The frequency downconverters exhibit worst-case amplitude response of ±0.5 dB per 40 MHz of bandwidth and ±1 dB per 1 GHz of bandwidth. The rugged little downconverters achieve in-band spurious performance of -65 dBc with 80-dB minimum image rejection and worst-case noise figure of 15 dB at the minimum attenuation level.
The phase-noise levels are tightly controlled for all of the compact Ku- and Ka-band frequency downconverters, whether the units provide two or three IF outputs. As an example, model DNB2-W-20.45 is a wideband frequency downconverter with two IF outputs at 1.5 to 2.0 GHz and 1.0 to 2.0 GHz. They represent the translated RF signals from bands of 19.7 to 20.2 GHz and 20.2 to 21.2 GHz (from a single RF input port), via LOs of 18.2 and 19.2 GHz.
Model DNB3-W-29.5-1.5 is a wideband frequency downconverter with three IF output ports, all from 0.95 to 2.45 GHz. They are the downconverted frequencies from RF bands of 27.0 to 28.5 GHz, 28.3 to 29.8 GHz, and 29.5 to 31.0 GHz, again by way of a single RF input port, and translated by means of LOs at 26.05, 27.35, and 28.55 GHz. For both wideband frequency downconverters, the phase noise is low. At Ku-band frequencies (about 12 to 18 GHz), the phase noise is -48 dBc/Hz offset 10 Hz from the carrier, -73 dBc/Hz offset 100 Hz from the carrier, -103 dBc/Hz offset 1 kHz, -112 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz, and -132 dBc/Hz offset 1 MHz.
At Ka-band frequencies (about 26.5 to 40.0 GHz), the phase noise is -41 dBc/Hz offset 10 Hz from the carrier, -64 dBc/Hz offset 100 Hz, -94 dBc/Hz offset 1 kHz, -102 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz, and -124 dBc/Hz offset 1 MHz. These frequency downconverters are also specified for phase noise at K-band frequencies (about 18 to 27 GHz), with performance levels of -42 dBc/Hz offset 10 Hz, -67 dBc/Hz offset 100 Hz, -97 dBc/Hz offset 1 kHz, -106 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz, and -126 dBc/Hz offset 1 MHz from the carrier.
Housed in similarly compact enclosures, the wideband frequency upconverters provide performance levels that are likewise outstanding. They also feature 18-dB input and output return loss, slightly less gain at 27 dB, but similar 30-dB gain-control range, adjustable in 0.2-dB steps. The gain stability is similar to that for the downconverters, with similar image-rejection and spurious performance levels. As with the frequency downconverters, the maximum peak-to-peak group delay per channel is 1 ns, and worst-case noise figure is 15 dB at the minimum attenuation level.
The frequency upconverters also offer excellent phase-noise characteristics. To provide examples, model UPB2-W-13.625 is an upconverter which works with separate IF input ports at 0.95 to 1.45 GHz and 0.95 to 1.70 GHz, which are translated by means of LOs at 11.8 and 12.8 GHz to RF bands of 12.75 to 13.25 GHz and 13.75 to 14.50 GHz, available at a single RF output port. Model UPB3-W-29 is a frequency upconverter with three IF input ports, all operating at 0.95 to 1.75 GHz, translated with the assistance of LOs at 27.05, 27.75, and 28.45 GHz, to three RF output bands at 28.0 to 28.8 GHz, 28.7 to 29.5 GHz, and 29.4 to 30.0 GHz, available at a single RF coaxial output port.

The phase-noise performance is similar to that for the frequency downconverters. At Ku-band frequencies, the phase noise is -48 dBc/Hz offset 10 Hz from the carrier, -73 dBc/Hz offset 100 Hz, -103 dBc/Hz offset 1 kHz, -112 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz, and -132 dBc/Hz offset 1 MHz from the carrier. At Ka-band frequencies, the phase noise is -42 dBc/Hz offset 10 Hz, -67 dBc/Hz offset 100 Hz, -97 dBc/Hz offset 1 kHz, -106 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz, and -126 dBc/Hz offset 1 MHz from the carrier.
Such outstanding satcom frequency-converter performance comes from enclosures that measure just 13.0 x 9.90 x 7.25 in. (330.2 x 251.5 x 184.0 mm) and weigh nominally 17 lbs (7.71 kg) or no more than 20 lbs (9.07 kg) with options. The frequency converters use SMA female connectors below 17 GHz, 3.5-mm connectors below 17 to 22 GHz, 2.9-mm connectors above 26.5 GHz, and N female connectors at L-band frequencies. These rugged outdoor units are designed for operating temperatures from -40 to +50°C and altitudes to 10,000 ft. Between their small physical size and ability to pack two or three frequency bands into a single box, they represent a major step toward the simplification of satcom infrastructure.

What: Nigiri and sashimi platter £36 /16 pieces
Where from: Nozomi (nozomi.co.uk; 020 7838 1500)
Taste assessment: Nozomi, a highend Japanese in Knightsbridge, has just launched a delivery service, which must make it one of the poshest takeaways in London. The sushi and sashimi we tried were scrumptious — tuna that actually tasted of something, wasabi-dabbed sea-bream, all remarkably sea-fresh. (It also does unagi, an pungent eel dish, rarely found in the UK). The hot offerings, including a tempura prawn roll — a sad decapod in a squelchy duvet of dough (£10.60) — were less successful, but hey, if your company keeps you late and insists on picking up the dinner tab, it's a healthful option.

New Steamboat Springs City Council President Loui Antonucci says Nov. 6 marked the first time in city history - or at least since Steamboat became a home-rule charter - that residents elected five new council members.
While it's clear voters wanted change, the big unknown is what that change will be and how the council will go about enacting it.
We think the new council's first decision - appointing Antonucci as president - was a wise one. Antonucci brings experience and institutional knowledge to a group of mostly young, inexperienced council members. He has lived in Steamboat since the mid-1970s and was first elected to the council in 1989. After losing a re-election bid in 1993, Antonucci returned to local politics in 2001 when he defeated Ken Brenner for the District 2 seat. Antonucci staved off challengers Warren Harner and Charles McConnell in the 2005 election.
Antonucci has been labeled "pro-growth" in the past because of his close associations with the business, development and real estate industries. He is the former owner of Old Town Pub, and is a partner in Old Town Realty as well as a contractor.
Regardless, Antonucci's experience in those fields - particularly as it pertains to housing needs and workforce recruitment and retention - can be valuable to both fellow council members and Steamboat residents.
He certainly has his work cut out for him. Past councils, including the most recent one, could be inefficient and, at times, overly ambitious. Many meetings stretched late into the night and lacked the structure needed to keep members focused.
Antonucci says he wants the council to limit its meetings to three times a month - and have them end at a reasonable hour. He also has expressed a desire to keep council members on task and for the council to give clear direction to city staff.
Antonucci also appears to be learning from other mistakes of past councils. He wants the council to be open in conducting its business and accessible to the public. He expressed a desire to gather input from the community before making important decisions.
He's on the right track, and we hope he can deliver on these goals. It's worth reminding Antonucci and other council members that open government is the best government, and the law requires - in almost all cases - that the public's business be conducted in public.
Of course, there will be roles for Antonucci that expand beyond the council chambers, including liaison between the city and Routt County. The two entities have had an often-adversarial relationship, and we'd like to see that improve. The presence of a new City Council provides an opportunity for the mending to begin.
Antonucci has tentatively scheduled a council retreat for early December. It will be interesting, and telling, to see what issues this new council identifies as its top priorities. Whatever they are, a commitment from the council to discuss and act on those issues in an efficient, open and thoughtful manner will be something all residents can support.

Group Forums >> Patch Collecting >> Wanted!! Patches!!
Wanted!! Patches!!
24 posts back to top |
| Posted almost 5 years ago I'm looking for patches from cities near, or at, places I've been stationed when in the military. I'd like to get patches for Oceanside, CA, Columbia, SC, and Yuma, AZ. I've also been hoping someone can offer advice on getting patches for overseas departments/agencies for those places as well... (Hanau, West Germany; Osan, Okinawa, Japan; Gladstone, Queensland, Australia) If anyone can help or will trade, my email is: firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll also check back here occasionaly to look for replies. I am an active officer with patches to trade, but I'd like to concentrate on those patches, first, you know? I'd also thought about a "theme" patch board: a 4x8 1/4 plywood/paneling board with the US outline with state capitol municipal department patches affixed. This idea came to when visiting DC and I traded for one of their muni patches. Any opinions on that? |

Keep in mind when following Jodi's exploits that she is a VERY experienced lifter and that many of the strategies and exercise methods she employs are extreme and exceptionally demanding. This blog series is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended to be specific advice on what to do for your porgram. As always, be sure your are medically and physically sound before beginning any exercise or nutrition program.
Week #1
Hello everyone! My name is Jodi Braun and throughout the next 14 weeks I will be sharing with you my insightful information on my transformation as I get ready for my 3rd professional figure competition. It will take place April 17th in West Nyack, New York. Premier Fitness is promoting the event and added a pro figure category. It's very rare I get to compete on home turf where all my friends and family can be there to show support, so I am jumping on this opportunity.
I am fitness trainer at Premier Fitness and teach group fitness as well. I hold workshops getting other women ready for figure and fitness. I assist in stage presence, posing, suit choice, and more. Warren Fahrenfeld is the nutritionist/coach here. He has been the one to get me ready for each event since day 1. Using dotFIT nutrition we have been able to get my conditioning, strength and muscle mass to the next level.
I wasn't really into sports when I was younger except for an occasional game of volleyball or softball. Though I enjoyed playing I never took it seriously enough to be on a team for school. I started lifting weights in college and I fell in love from there. After training myself for a couple years, I trained friends. From there I knew the gym was where I was meant to be and I began studying to be certified as a fitness trainer. I was certified with ISSA, Apex, dotFIT and next plan to get an NASM certification. I have worked in a couple of gyms prior to Premier Fitness part-time but now this is what I do full time. I live it, breathe it, and I keep clients motivated because of it.
At the time when Warren approached me about competing, I was a member at the gym and not yet employed. I wasn't sure if I had what it took to do it and dismissed the idea. After about a year of Warren approaching me I finally gave in and said I would give it a shot. Well, needless to say I was hooked and loved everything about it. I enjoyed the discipline needed to make it and the feeling of accomplishment when it was time to take the stage.
In 2008, at my 5th amateur figure competition, I won overall and gained professional status at the OCB Mid-Atlantic Classic in Burlington, New Jersey. It was one of the most memorable moments in my life. I made my pro debut October of 2009. I didn't place where I would have liked to but I knew what I had to do in order to place better 6 weeks later at the Yorton World Championships. Confidence was a must and it was the hardest 6 weeks I have ever experienced. Warren had trained me for those 6 weeks and my conditioning was better than ever before. I placed 5th!!!! I was thrilled to be in the top 5 and standing with fellow women who were my role models.
So, here I am again ready to take on another journey. That's exactly what this is and I want to make everyone at home proud! Every time I have begun another cycle of preparation I say to myself, "Okay, it's time!!!" So here we go! With the help of dotFIT, Warren's nutritional guidance and support from my biggest fans, it's time to shine and that's what I plan on doing.
Week 1 is now complete. Cardio is pretty minimal at this point and I'm still lifting pretty heavy. In about 6 to 8 weeks the type of workout will change. Every week my body fat % is monitored and my diet changes based on what Warren sees. At 15 weeks out I started at 16.9%. My goal is not to get to a certain % but more of what will it take to get my body to peak. Last competition I was at 6.5%, but with each show it varies.
I'm pretty psyched about this competition and excited to share it with all of you. Keep checking in week to week as I post each milestone that I overcome over the next few months. I hope to inspire you as I am inspired. 😉

What Is Autism?
Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that affects boys four times as often as girls. Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) are usually called Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) by physicians. PDD is a group of three conditions -- autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome, and Pervasive Development Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. The conditions are characterized by problems communicating and relating to others, and a need to follow rigid routines and to engage in repetitive behaviors or language.
Some pediatricians are knowledgeable enough to diagnose PDD, but the majority need the support of a specialist, especially if a child has already received an ADHD diagnosis.

CRIMINON Three decades of growth in America's prison population has brought the nation to a sobering threshold: one in every 100 adults in the United States is now confined behind bars. The total prison population is now 2.3 million, the highest number in the world, followed by the much more populous nation of China with 1.5 million. The cost of maintaining the US prison system topped $49 billion in 2007, up from $12 billion in 1987. The figures speak for themselves. And considering the 80 percent recidivism rate, there is desperate need for a workable technology that delivers true and lasting rehabilitation of criminals who can become productive members of society. |

Can't buck Broncos as pick to win Super Bowl XLVIII
The Denver Broncos have issues.
Their best defensive player, Von Miller, who's also one of the NFL's best defensive players, is suspended for the first six games of the season. Their second-best pass rusher from a year ago, Elvis Dumervil, is playing for the other guys. Their Hall of Fame-bound cornerback, Champ Bailey, is out because of an injured foot. Their center, Manny Ramirez, never has started a regular-season game at center. Their tailback is any one of three flawed players.
Doesn't sound good, does it. Well, what if I told you that none of it matters?
This isn't a "30 for 30" promo; it's a 1-of-32 prediction. As in which of the 32 NFL teams will hoist the Lombardi Trophy come February.
That team will be the currently troubled Broncos, who will follow a familiar pattern to their first Super Bowl championship in 15 years.
If we've learned anything the past three NFL seasons, it's this: It isn't the best team from start to finish that wins the Super Bowl but the team that's the best at the finish.
The 2012 Baltimore Ravens stumbled through December, got hot in January and won it all. The 2011 New York Giants went 9-7 during the regular season, got hot in January and won it all. The 2010 Green Bay Packers didn't win their division, got hot in January and won it all.
(With all due respect to brilliant Grantland.com NFL analyst Bill Barnwell, momentum does in fact exist. See previous paragraph.)
The 2012 Broncos were the best team in the regular season, securing the AFC's No. 1 seed with a 13-3 record and a point differential of plus-192 that trailed only the 12-4 Patriots' 226. What did that do for Denver? Nada. The Broncos lost in the divisional round to the eventual champion Ravens, who also happen to be their season-opening opponents Thursday night.
Given the Miller situation, among others, Denver probably will finish with a worse regular-season record in 2013. Despite being my Super Bowl pick, the Broncos aren't No. 1 in my Week 1 power rankings. But they'll be a better team when it matters most.
The biggest factor behind that projected improvement is that Peyton Manning will be a better quarterback this year than last.
Despite missing an entire season because of multiple neck surgeries that left his football-playing future in doubt – and joining a new organization with new receivers after 14 years with the same organization and (mostly) same receivers – Manning improbably produced the second-best statistical season of his Hall of Fame career. Entering Year 2 in Denver, he is healthier, stronger and more comfortable with his team and teammates.
"I certainly feel more comfortable," Manning told Denver reporters at the start of training camp. "I have more knowledge about how I feel physically and what I can do and certainly of our teammates, our system, kind of this Denver Broncos culture. There is no question there was a lot of unknown answers last year, and the only way to get those answers was to play an entire season."
Last year at this time, some weren't sure whether Manning could throw a football more than 10 yards down the field, let alone survive the rigors of a 16-game season. Despite lacking the zip he once had, Manning passed for 4,659 yards with 37 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions. His 68.6 percent completion rate led the league.
Now he's feeling better about a lot of things, including his arm strength and his timing with what might be the NFL's best receiving corps.
"When you know your teammates better, when you have your timing better with your teammates, that certainly always in my past has allowed for more precise throws, more confident throws," Manning said.
Manning being Manning, he always believes there's more work to be done. That's especially true with his new toy, Wes Welker, who's only the best slot receiver in NFL history.
Welker sure would have come in handy during the divisional-round loss to the Ravens, when Manning struggled to adapt to the frigid conditions. We've seen this before with older players. Remember Brett Favre's last game as a Packer? It was the NFC Championship Game against the Giants in January 2008. Favre threw two interceptions, including one that set up the winning field goal in overtime. Favre was 38 at the time. The temperature that day dropped to minus-3 degrees with a minus-24 wind chill.
Manning was 36 – and still recovering from those nerve issues – when he took the field last January. The game-time temperature was 13. You know who else struggled that day? Bailey, who was 34. There's a reason older people relocate to warmer climes.
And here we find the underlying beauty of the Broncos not necessarily being the best regular-season squad in 2013: They're better off without home-field advantage.
The ideal path to the Super Bowl for Denver runs through Houston's retractable-roofed Reliant Stadium. No cold, no wind, no problems for Manning. With the Texans being the best non-NFC West team in the league right now, there's a decent chance this happens.
Without Miller and Bailey and Dumervil (who's now a Raven), the Broncos might struggle in the opener. They might be a .500 team when Miller's suspension ends.
Come February it'll all be forgotten, those hardships mere postscripts in Denver's championship narrative.

Careers in Interdisciplinary Studies
What Can I Do With an American Studies Major?
Prepared by Professor Catherine Lavender
Director, American Studies Program
The College of Staten Island of The City University of New York
Only a small percentage of American Studies majors go on to work in the field of American Studies; most go on, instead, to become lawyers, librarians, businesspersons, writers, archivists, researchers, teachers, politicians, and even entertainers. Leaders in every industry, from business to the arts, can point to their training as American Studies majors as the starting point for their success. Below is a brief examination of the sorts of skills developed by American Studies scholarship and various career options available to American Studies majors. By examining the varieties of approaches American Studies scholars use, the discussion below seeks to identify the advantages of the distinctive interdisciplinary approach to American Studies in fostering well-rounded intellectual development as well as developing valuable career skills in research, writing, analysis, argumentation, and documentation.
What are the skills one learns as an American Studies major?
One of the key ways of thinking about what an American Studies major prepares you to pursue after graduation is to focus on the skills one acquires as an American Studies student. These include:
- Effective writing skills--vital to any job for which a college degree is a necessity, effective writing means the ability to successfully and precisely communicate one's ideas in
text . - Critical analysis skills--vital to the decision-making process for any job, critical analysis means the ability to analyze a situation and come up with creative and practical solutions.
- Research skills--vital to any job, research skills mean the ability to understand past practices and policies and to trace the roots of any issue, to find new information which bears on that issue, and to incorporate that information into one's analysis of an issue.
- Interdisciplinary thinking and training--vital to any position, interdisciplinary thinking and training
means the ability to think about a problem in a multitude of ways, to analyze it using multiple tools, and to provide solutions which draw from different traditions of thought. - Curiosity and inquisitiveness--vital to any position,
curiosity and inquisitiveness mean the desire to learn more and to continue learning, to examine reasons beneath issues, and to come to understand them as part of a continual, life-long, education process.
What are some of the careers paths which American Studies majors commonly follow?
American Studies majors as Educators
Many American Studies majors go on to become educators, focusing on the communication of their ideas. Educators include teachers in Elementary and Secondary education. They also include Higher Education on many levels, including teaching at community and junior Colleges, undergraduate colleges, and universities. But educators are also important members of other educational institutions that you may not think of as immediately as schools. These include historic sites and museums, where history majors can become docents, education directors, curators, guides, and interpreters. Also, there are other forms of teaching than standing up in front of a classroom. These include work as historical consultants, contract archivists, public historians, writers, and even filmmakers.
American Studies majors Researchers
Many American Studies majors go on to careers as researchers, emphasizing their skills in evaluating and analyzing documentary evidence. American Studies scholars as researchers include public historians as well as policy advisors, who serve as planners, evaluators, and policy analysts, often for state, local, and federal governments. Also, American Studies scholars often find employment as researchers for museums and historical organizations or pursue additional specialized training to become professionals in cultural resources management and historic preservation.
American Studies majors as Writers and Editors
Because success as an American Studies majors depends upon learning to write effectively, many American Studies majors become writers and editors. They make their living as authors of historical books, or more commonly, they work as editors at a publishing house. Many American Studies majors become print and broadcast journalists, and others become documentary editors who oversee the publication of documents such as those produced by government agencies.
American Studies majors as Information Managers
Because American Studies majors must learn to deal with documents, many pursue a one- or two-year graduate program in library studies (commonly, a Master of Library Science, or MLS, degree) or archival management and enter careers as information managers. With this additional training, they enter the fields of archives management, information management, records management, and librarianship.
American Studies majors as Advocates
Many American Studies majors find that the interdisciplinary nature of American Studies training makes a perfect preparation for Law School, as American Studies scholars and lawyers often do roughly the same thing--they argue persuasively using historical data to support their arguments, and they analyze and critique their opponents' counter-arguments. Many American Studies majors become lawyers; others undertake careers in litigation support as paralegals. Others enter public service and become policymakers, serve as legislative staff at all levels of government, and become officers of granting agencies and foundations.
American Studies majors as Businesspeople
Most people overlook the value of an American Studies major in preparing an intelligent person for a career in business. Yet, American Studies majors track historical trends, an important skill for those developing products to market or engaged in corporate or financial planning. Many American Studies majors enter banking, insurance, and stock analysis. American Studies majors also learn how to write persuasively, and this training gives them an edge in advertising, communications media, and marketing. Finally, many industries depend on an intimate knowledge of government policies and historical trends; thus, American Studies majors have found their skills useful in extractive industries and public utilities.

- 2. The western third of the island is the nation of Haiti.
- 3. Christopher Columbus landed on it in 1492, becoming the first European settlement in the Americas, specifically the place that is now called Santo Domingo. Beforehand the area was inhabited by the Tainos since around 650 AD. Between 1795 and 1802, the French moved in as the Spanish had moved on to other parts of the Americas, lasting until 1808 with a revolt and bringing it back to Spanish influence. The Dominican Republic gained independence from Spain in 1865.

There are four main mountain regions on the island, including Cordillera Septentrional in the north, the Cordillera Central going southwards and containing the four highest peaks in the Caribbean, the Sierra de Neiba and the Sierra de Bahoruco in the southwest. Between the mountains is the rich and fertile Cibao valley and the Llano Costero del Caribe (Caribbean Coastal Plain), including four major rivers, the Yaque del Norte, the Yuna River, the San Juan River and the Artibonito river.
- 5. The language used is Spanish with a local dialect called Dominican Spanish, with influences from African and Arawak languages. English is taught as a secondary language and Haitian Creole is also used in some communities.

Perfect for the TV
By Manic Mike

About Me Audiophile
Comments about Sony Black Wireless Subwoofer BRAVIA Speaker:
Adds depth to the tv sound. Perfect for TV watching. Definitly not my 150w 12" polk audio sub used in the surround dound system
Good purchase
By Max
from Stockton CA
About Me Audiophile, Movie Enthusiast, Practical, Tech Savvy
This subwoffer when used as recommended with the new sony HD is a great combination. Only Sony has dececnt treble speakers in their thin HD TVs. With the addition of this subwoffer you have a full range of sound without the "surroud sound" external systems that I don't care for. The subwoffer and 50" Sony bravia (just released this summer) came in at about $1,100.00 which is better than the similar Sony I almost bought which was $1,800 without the subwoffer. Thankful for ABT to have the subwoffer.The big boxes and manufacturer did not have any available. Will definalty put ABT on my bookmarks for the future.
Not a "miracle worker"...
By TVGeek
from Ohio
About Me Enthusiast
I hoped that this subwoofer would augment the Sony KDL50W800B LED television's (rather thin-sounding) onboard speakers. As expected, the SWFBR100 sub was a snap to set up and functioned seamlessly with my Sony Bravia television. Adjustment of the SWFBR100 was very easy through the Sony Bravia's on-screen menus. Unfortunately, the SWFBR100 sub didn't provide the full sound I was hoping for with my television's tiny speakers. I assume the SWFBR100 will mesh more effectively with the larger Bravia televisions due to their larger onboard speakers. This sub performs like a small subwoofer should; it provides a reasonable amount of very low frequencies. Be advised - this sub won't shake your walls (it's simply too small/low-powered). Unfortunately my Bravia television needs more mid-bass than the SWFBR100 can provide.
Needs more control
By NJ
from Pasadena, CA
The problem with this Sub is that the TV controls everything. This means that there is only so much controllability and there are times where I wish I could turn the sub volume up louder even though it's on max on the TV sub control. That means that depending on your source it will be very low. For instance on TV programs I have very little bass but if I put music on through my apple TV it sounds great. Maybe If I could control things more through the cable box?

Gotta Have the Grid
by J. Douglas Foster / Dallas StarsThere comes a time, roughly beginning in late February, where morning rituals change around competitive NHL teams.
Sure, the cup of coffee is essential heading into morning skate.
But an equally important part of the daily routine for coaches, PR types, media members and broadcasters involves "the grid."
Started some years ago by somewhere else, and perfected by the Dallas Stars PR staff, "the grid" is a thorough breakdown of each team in the playoff hunt in an easy to read format. Each team's record, point total and games remaining are listed on a header. Following that is a breakdown of games at home and on the road, back-to-backs, divisional games – any important stat concerning the squad's schedule. And finally, an actual listing of each team's remaining schedule. The beauty of the grid is being able to see just how many head-to-head matchups remain between teams vying for the same playoff position.
As far as printed minutia goes, it's incredibly addictive. Anyone trying to calculate just where they will finish, and whom they will face in the first round, must have this updated sheet every day. Stars PR intern Matthew Clinkscales greets the Dallas media contingent each day, every member impatiently pacing with an outstretched arm, asking "where's the grid?" The entire group waits, like Pavlov's dogs, for our newly-printed information treat at the ringing of a bell. Sometimes, you can just stare at the sheet for hours, mapping out the most likely run all the way through the Western Conference and the best possible route for reaching the Stanley Cup Final.
Even Stars head coach Dave Tippett – who lives by the mantra of worrying only about what's going on within your own team, and not what's happening anywhere else – admits he must have his updated grid, before and after each game, to prepare for every possibility. Knowledge is power, you know?
Yes, Matthew Clinkscales is our Brian McNamee, brandishing a needle filled not with B-12, but with every potential playoff scenario. Mind steroids, if you will.
The one obvious observation from looking at this grid each day involves the strength – and potentially dangerous playoff positioning – of the top three teams in the Pacific Division.
Currently, Dallas, San Jose and Anaheim possess the second, third and fourth best records in the Western Conference. In fact, they are all among the top four teams in point total in the entire NHL. Of course, with division winners being the top three seeds, the Northwest Division champion moves into the third spot.
That means that, in all likelihood, the Stars, Sharks and Ducks will occupy playoff seeds two, four and five.
Knowing that, just how important is it to win the Pacific Division outright?
I would say incredibly important.
If you don't win the division, you get to take on a team from your division, one that is undoubtedly capable of winning just about any other division in the NHL. Can you imagine the first-round pairing of Dallas vs. San Jose, Dallas vs. Anaheim or San Jose vs. Anaheim?
Surely it makes the rest of the conference happy. You are guaranteed to have one of the West's best teams out after the first round. Even the winner of that series could be seriously drained, both physically and emotionally, entering the second round.
It's a bit of a shame. But it's also a pretty good warning. Win the division, and you don't have to face either Anaheim or San Jose until the second round at best. The size and physical nature of both the Ducks and Sharks makes them a tough playoff matchup for anyone. Why not pit them against each other to start the postseason?
Works for me.
The NHL has – rightfully – been giddy about superkid Sidney Crosby's explosion onto the NHL scene since his arrival following the lockout.
And why wouldn't they be? Last year, on his way to winning the Hart Trophy, Crosby became the first teenager in North American professional sports history to win his league's scoring title.
But he can't carry hockey on his back for the next 20 years. Luckily, he's got some help.
The one good thing to come out of Crosby's high-ankle sprain this season, which cost him 21 games, was the proof the Penguins won't just fold without him. In fact, it also became Evgeni Malkin's coming out party.
In the 21 games without Crosby, all Malkin did was register 35 points (16 goals, 19 assists) with a plus-9 rating. Very Crosbian numbers, if you will. During that stretch, he briefly took over the NHL scoring lead as well.
But he had that taken back, by another exciting young Russian. Obviously, you don't need to be told about Alex Ovechkin, who has already registered his second 50-goal campaign in just three NHL seasons, and currently leads the league in both goals (54) and points (92).
The point is this: The list of the league's top scorers is led by 22-year-old Ovechkin and 21-year old Malkin, while Crosby, despite missing those 21 games, still has 65 points (tied for 22nd in the NHL) and just turned 20 last August.
Can you imagine the possibilities for those three players over the next 15 years? They'll all be on the ice, at the same time, Sunday when the Penguins take on the Capitals, and I can't help but hope that both Pittsburgh and Washington become legitimate frontrunners in the Eastern Conference over the next few seasons (Pittsburgh appears to already be there).
Just picture those three, on the huge stage of an Eastern Conference Final, battling to lead their respective teams back to the Stanley Cup Final.
Now, imagine it happening three, four, maybe even five years in a row.
I'm in. Where do I sign?
