Review: Apple iPad Dock
Apple's first iPod Dock appeared in 2003, packed in with the third-generation iPod -- the first model to include the company's 30-pin Dock Connector on the bottom -- and since then, there have been dozens of alternatives, most of them better than the original. The single most influential innovation was the 2005 Universal Dock, which introduced a wider, deeper docking well that could be resized with plastic Dock Adapters or left alone for use with thicker cases, a design that continued with a very similar 2007 re-release that also worked with the iPhone. Unfortunately, Apple's iPad Dock ($29) steps backwards in time to the first 2003 iPod design, and though it will be entirely fine for some users, anyone who needs a case will either have to pass or wait for cases that are compatible with Apple's unnecessarily tight mount.
On the surface, there's absolutely nothing controversial about the iPad Dock: it's roughly 2.75" deep and 2.75" wide, with a slanted 1.25" tall lip that stands considerably above its 0.38" tall base. Like virtually all of the iPod Docks and iPhone Docks that have preceded it, there's a gray rubber base on the bottom and both 3.5-millimeter audio-out and 30-pin Dock Connector ports on the back. It is typically Apple in its elegance and purpose: the slanted lip defines the angle that the iPad will rest on when docked, while it and the base provide just enough of a footprint and support to enable the aluminum device to recline vertically without any fear of tipping over. The top of the iPad forms an invisible line straight down to the back of the base—clean, precise, and attractive.
Once it's docked, the iPad can be charged, synchronized, and used for line-level audio out, assuming that you're willing to provide the cables and charger yourself, as they're not included in this box. Audio sounded strong and problem-free through the line-out port, which always outputs sound at the iPad's peak volume for subsequent attenuation by your connected audio receiver and speakers; the iPad disables its own volume controls when it's connected to the Dock. When the line-out port isn't in use, the iPad performs sound through its bottom speakers, which stand enough above the surface of a table to be heard without an issue.
Synchronization similarly worked fine with Apple's Dock Connector to USB cable, and charging wasn't a problem with the iPad's 10W USB Power Adapter; the iPad Dock essentially just passes through whatever power and data it receives from a connected cable. Similarly, Apple's separately-sold composite, component, and VGA video accessories can be connected to the iPad Dock, and since the iPad has integrated Bluetooth capabilities, it can be used with wireless keyboards, speakers, and headphones while in the Dock, as well.
If you need a hardwired keyboard for the iPad, and don't mind the fact that it wont be able to sit on the typical slide-out keyboard tray of a desk, Apple's iPad Keyboard Dock is another, more expensive option with a very nice keyboard that looks like it was physically grafted onto the front of this accessory; the screen recline angle is actually a little more pronounced on the Keyboard Dock. The result is a 7 1/8"-deep alternative that some people will find convenient and others will deem unusable. Pairing the iPad with the standard iPad Dock and a $69 Apple Wireless Keyboard is yet more expensive, but will work on any desk.
There's one and only one reason that we wouldn't rush to recommend the all-Apple solution, and that's the iPad Dock's slanted lip. It is, like the original iPod Dock, precision fit to a specific maximum depth of a specific unencased Apple product. If you want to use the iPad Dock with an unencased iPad, it works without a problem; Apple has actually designed the dock with a little rubber pad around its male Dock Connector, and the iPad with a tilting female Dock Connector port, enabling users to tilt the iPad forward while removing it without breaking either the iPad Dock or the iPad itself. But because the hard white plastic lip doesn't have any give, the docking system doesn't work when you try to use it with an iPad case. Even the thinnest of the dozens of cases we've received for testing doesn't fit properly. Consequently, if you want to use the iPad Dock, you'll need to pull your case off, then put it back on again every time you're done, a problem that Apple's Universal Dock avoided completely—at least, with the vast majority of iPod and iPhone cases.
Over time, if full body films or Dock-sculpted case bottoms become popular for the iPad, this may change, but the iPad Dock leaves considerably less room for accommodation than the Universal Dock did for encased iPods and iPhones. Perhaps Apple will release a follow-up dock for the iPad; regardless if it does or doesn't, third-parties will certainly step up and produce solutions such as stands and alternative docks that are more flexible, if not as elegant as this one. For now, the iPad Dock is a good enough docking solution to recommend to those users who plan to use their iPads without cases, but everyone else should hold off in favor of a more convenient alternative.

Downtown L.A.'s FYF Fest keeps punk thriving
September 5th, 2011, 1:30 am by DAVID HALL, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER"Punk" is one of those musical descriptors that often breeds controversy. What does it mean anymore? Does it only apply to those legends who purportedly kick-started the scene - the Clash, Sex Pistols, Ramones? Can it legitimately be used to describe the myriad bands influenced by those groundbreakers, even though they have since branched out into electronica, new-wave revivalism and even pop?
Many so-called aficionados might thumb their noses and answer that last question with a blunt and unforgiving "no." But the creators of the eclectic FYF Fest - the widely proclaimed "punk-rock fest" that returned to Los Angeles State Historic Park for its eighth staging - seem dead-set on abolishing that narrow-minded mentality.
With a lineup pulled from varying styles - popular indie-rock (Cold War Kids and Broken Social Scene, the latter of which declared this its final gig before hiatus), dubstep (Nosaj Thing), psychedelia (Pink Mountaintops) and cosmic instrumental (Explosions in the Sky) - this year's edition of the event convincingly extended the definition of punk to include any and all groups with DIY integrity. As such, I suspect Saturday's bash will be voted one of the most successful - and genuinely fun - in the fest's history.

First swim21 Learn to Swim Accreditation awarded
01 Dec 2009
Kim Chapman Swimming School in Basingstoke has become the first swim school to gain swim21 accreditation.
swim21 accreditation is the ASA's 'quality mark'. It is about creating the best possible swimming experience for all and raising the quality of swimming provision across all areas.
Kim Chapman Swimming School caters for swimmers from pre-school age through to pre-competition as well as adult beginner and improver lessons and fitness sessions.
Swim school owner Kim Chapman said; "I am passionate that anyone who runs a swimming school should aim to work towards the accreditation of swim21 because it is such a great tool to self assess your programme and show you the areas you need to improve upon. "It also keeps you on your toes in ensuring you are keeping up to date, being fair to your employees and enabling you to deliver a fantastic service to your clients. I inform my clients that swim21 is extremely similar to Ofsted – so when they see you have that accreditation they know how hard you have worked to achieve that accreditation."
Kim was also quick to praise the team who work with her and have been vital in gaining this accreditation; "I have a great team of teachers and office ladies who have over the years helped the swim school achieve and maintain our high standards. We are more like a family than work colleagues. "We also have a lovely group of young water assistants who provide an invaluable service in the water to our Level 2 teachers."
swim21 has recently been re-launched to include three strands:
- swim21 Learn to Swim Accreditation – for anyone offering a learn to swim programme who is not an ASA affiliated club e.g. swim schools, leisure operators, local authorities
- swim21 School Swimming Accreditation – for organisations running a school swimming programme
- swim21 Club Accreditation – specifically designed for ASA clubs.

Spouse(s) | Lilias Georgina Guthrie |
Father | Major James Rennell Rodd |
James Rennell Rodd, 1st Baron Rennell GCB GCMG GCVO PC (9 November 1858 – 26 July 1941), known as Sir Rennell Rodd before 1933, was a British diplomat, poet and politician. He served as British Ambassador to Italy during the First World War.
Early life[edit]
Rodd was the only son of Major James Rennell Rodd (1812–1892) and his wife Elizabeth Anne Thomson, daughter of Anthony Todd Thomson. On his father's side he descended from the geographer James Rennell. Rodd was educated at Haileybury and Balliol College, Oxford, where he was associated with the circle of Oscar Wilde. Wilde later assisted Rodd in securing publication for his first book of verse, Rose Leaf and Apple Leaf, for which Wilde provided an introduction. As Wilde began to court scandal in his public career, their friendship subsequently cooled.
He entered the Diplomatic Service in 1883 and served in minor positions at the British embassies in Berlin, Rome, Athens and Paris. From 1894 to 1902 Rodd worked under the Consul-General of Egypt Lord Cromer. He played an important part in negotiating the Anglo-Ethiopian Treaty of 1897 with Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia. In late 1901 he was appointed First Secretary at the embassy in Rome,[1] where he arrived in 1902 and remained for the next two years. In 1904 Rodd was made Minister plenipotentiary to Sweden (and until November 1905, Norway), but did not arrive until 17 January 1905. He played an active and neutral part in the dissolution of the Union between Sweden and Norway, for which he was rewarded the Grand Cross of the Order of the Polar Star by King Oscar II. After the secession he continued as a Minister in Sweden until 1908.
The latter year he was appointed Ambassador to Italy. He was to remain in this post until 1919, and played a key role in securing Italy's adhesion to the Entente cause. Rodd left the Diplomatic Service in 1919 but nonetheless served on the mission to Egypt in 1920 with Lord Milner and was British delegate to the League of Nations from 1921 to 1923. He also sat as Unionist Member of Parliament for St Marylebone between 1928 and 1932.
Writer and scholar[edit]
Apart from his diplomatic services Rodd was also a published poet and scholar of ancient Greece and Rome. He published his memoirs, entitled Social and Diplomatic Memories, in three volumes between 1922 and 1925. His diaries were published in 1981 by Torsten Burgman, and edited by Victor Lal in 2005.
Rodd was appointed Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in 1897, Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in 1899, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) in 1905, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG) in 1915, and Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (GCB) in the 1920 New Year Honours.[2] He was appointed to the Privy Council in 1908 and in 1933 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Rennell, of Rodd in the County of Hereford.[3]
Lord Rennell of Rodd married Lilias Georgina Guthrie, daughter of James Alexander Guthrie, in 1894. They had four sons and two daughters. His third son, Peter Rodd, married the author Nancy Mitford, daughter of David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale and one of the famous Mitford sisters. His eldest daughter Evelyn Violet Elizabeth Rodd was a Conservative politician and was created a life peer as Baroness Emmet of Amberley in 1965. His second daughter, the Hon. Gloria Rodd, married the painter Simon Elwes, by whom she had a four sons, including the portrait painter Dominick Elwes, who had three sons with Tessa Kennedy, including actor Cary Elwes.[citation needed]
Rennell Rodd, 1st Baron Rennell died in July 1941, aged 82, and was succeeded in the barony by his second but eldest surviving son, Francis, who later served as President of the Royal Geographical Society.[citation needed]

To say that resources are scarce in a startup is an understatement. They often times don't exist. This is a big issue for startups that are still just a handful of people. So how do you make sure that you can keep everything moving forward? Just make time for everything.
It's far to easy to get heads-down on any one thing and neglect other areas. Before you know it you'll be woefully behind on those other areas. So let's try this:
Reserve some time for each major business area every week or two.
So if you're focusing very heavily on product right now, you should still try to reserve 3 hours a week for marketing. Big push on sales? How about you don't forget to budget half a day every other week to think about your product strategy. Booking a few hours in your calendar to work on those things you keep putting off, gives you a chance to force yourself to step away.
The truth of the matter is that if one area is top of mind, interesting, or even on fire, then it may never seem like a good idea to context switch out. This is especially true if the things you aren't doing are less interesting or just not your cup of tea.
In startups, there are a million things that need to get done. Reserving time for each area of the business allows you to knock the things off the top of multiple lists. Rather than trying to prioritize everything, you just need to timebox areas of less importance.

Missing girl's parents agree to lie detector test
Published 2:49 am, Tuesday, August 5, 2014
BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — The parents of a 6-year-old girl who disappeared from her Washington home and wasn't reported missing for a day have agreed to take lie detector tests and allow a search of the home, a sheriff's spokesman said Monday.
Both the home search and lie detector tests were in progress late Monday, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson said. He said he doubted he would be able to discuss results.
State child welfare workers removed two other children, an 8-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl, from the home earlier Monday.
About 80 searchers including dog teams looked Monday for little Jenise Wright, who was last seen Saturday night when she went to bed. Her family noticed her missing Sunday morning but didn't become worried and call for help until that night because she had left the home on previous occasions and wandered around the neighborhood.
The family felt it was relatively safe because it's a fenced property, Wilson said.
A decision on whether to continue the ground search Tuesday was pending, the spokesman said.
The little girl's disappearance was being called a missing person case with "suspicious circumstances," Wilson said. Most missing children would have surfaced by now, he said.
Investigators, who now include the FBI and detectives from nearby police agencies and the Washington State Patrol, are "looking at the entire spectrum of possibilities: has the child sustained an accident? Has the child been abducted? Has the child come to harm?" Wilson said.
The FBI has resources "that we can only dream about — investigative tools, personnel that specialize in child abduction," Wilson said. "We're not calling it an abduction, but why not get those resources early on, examine all the possibilities."
Two parents live in the home in a blended family. The 8-year-old and 12-year-old were the only other children in the home last weekend. A 16-year-old boy was out of town. Two other offspring are adults.
The search began at about 1:30 a.m. Monday with deputies and volunteers in and around the Steele Creek Mobile Home Park. They cleared the park and searched later in the surrounding neighborhood and wooded area, Wilson said.
"She's really independent, she's tenacious," the little girl's father, James Wright, told KOMO-TV, describing the neighborhood as safe and saying his daughter roamed the park.
Other residents in the park described Jenise as outgoing and unafraid to talk to anyone.
Bremerton is on the west side of Puget Sound, across from Seattle.
Jenise is 3 feet tall, weighs 45 pounds and has black hair. She'll be a first-grader this school year. She shared a bedroom with her sister.

Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next You're likely familiar with smart phone apps aimed at saving you money, but we're talking about a new generation of apps that actually deposit cash into your bank account or deliver free products to your front door. Janet Paula rates Adfun as one of her favorite apps. Paula is a full-time student and mother to four boys. Her time is at a premium, so she sets the bar high when it comes to the apps she downloads. She says if you don't earn something fast, that's a deal breaker. Paula watches Adfun's 30-second videos while she cooks dinner, washes clothes or waits in line. With every view she wins tickets that she uses to bid on an array of items up for auction. In the two months she's played Adfun, she has won not one, but two Xbox Ones which retail for over $500 each. Paula says her favorite apps are the ones that earn her cash. She's picked up $240 playing two apps in particular in the last six months. The first, Scantopia, involves nothing more than scanning bar codes of the products you buy. In three weeks, the coupon-using mom says Scantopia deposited just shy of $30 into her PayPal account. Another favorite is Plink. Paula considers it a fast-earning app. With Plink, you create a list of stores you shop at from Plink's master list and then scan your receipts every time you shop at one of those retailers. Points turn into cash after you link your debit card to the app. Another one of her favorites is Jingit. The app pays you to shop in certain stores like Wal-Mart and scan items in the store. So, you earn money while you shop. With any technology, you want to pay attention to how much personal information you give out. These apps require your name, email, date of birth and the city you live in. Plink does ask for your debit card information. That is how they deposit funds.

Natural Male Enhancement?
Well, this IS the men's only corner, and I'm not talking about "Enzyte" :eek:.
If any of us men need more motivation to shrink our bellies, think about the body part it's covering. Less belly means we'll be smiling more than "Smilin' Bob" ever did! :D Regards, Michael |
it's hard to see the tool if the shed is too big??
Things have been a little slow here--thought that might grab some attention. Plus, it's also true :D. Regards, Michael |
It is true. I once heard a doctor tell a guy that for every 10lbs of belly fat we put on, we lost 1/8" of length. This guy had a HUGE belly. Couldnt see his feet. He said just imagine, you're probably hanging like a horse, its just caught up in your stomach right now. For some strange reason, I don't think the guy even cared:confused::eek:
'if i had mine just an inch longer, i'd be the king!' and the wife replies, 'and if just 1 inch shorter, you'd be the queen' :D |
There's been much joking on the "Motivational Thread" about using nudity as an appetite suppressant.
When I was a kid we used to refer to men that had big bellies as "Dickie Do's", which was short for "his belly stick out further than his Dickie do". |

Young and aspiring youngsters in their respective national sides, Ajinkya Rahane and James Faulkner are taking their first steps in the international circuit for India and Australia.
Rahane made people stand-up and take notice with his performance in the Indian Premier League in 2012 and Faulkner has made his presence felt in the shortest format of the game while playing in the Big Bash.
Both have also displayed their skills while playing on the domestic circuit of their home countries.
What they also have in common is, that both have had the opportunity to play under the leadership of Shane Warne. Rahane has already played under Rahul Dravid and Faulkner will have that honour when he turns out for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2013.
Rahane has always spoken reverently of the influence and guidance provided by Dravid and Faulkner too speaks highly of the support extended to him by Warne.
Discussing the contrasting captaincy styles of 'The Wall' and the spin wizard, Rahane observed, "They (Warne and Dravid) are both legends but are entirely different captains. Rahul bhai likes to keep things simple while leading the side while Warne was always trying various new things and was always experimenting.
"Both Rahul bhai and Shane have been equally approachable."
"I am enjoying playing with Rahul Dravid. Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar are my role models since my childhood, so it is a dream to bat alongside Rahul bhai. It is a great learning experience. We all learn from him.
"He is simple and humble and still a student of the game. I learnt a lot from Shane Warne as well."
Speaking about Warne, Faulkner Warne added, "He has been a massive support for my cricket over the last two years I have really got to know him. I have really got to know him off the field as well and he has left a legacy to be followed.
"With RR being his IPL team I glad I am here I am playing where he is used to play."
"I haven't actually spoken to him about RR but the advice that he has given to me is to always back myself and back my game and I have done that through the Big Bash under him. So I am looking forward to doing that here in India too."
"I have had a couple of sessions now with Rahul (Dravid). He has been very positive for the team. And everyone has been positive so far as a group at training. Now it is a matter of putting games of cricket together as a team and winning games of cricket," Faulkner mentioned.
Speaking about the Royals', Rahane who was one of the star performers for the franchise in 2012 said, "I have lot of good memories of last season but as we know cricket is a funny game so I want to start this season from scratch."
Faulkner too is looking forward to take the field for RR and agrees that they have got a very good squad.
"Few games last year were disappointing. We lost close games, especially against Delhi we lost by one run. We are learning from that (those mistakes). We also have Shane Watson for the whole season. We have a good side so we hope to do well," Rahane added.
Speaking about the devastating effect that Shane Watson is known to have on the opposition, Faulkner said, "When Watson is both batting and bowling he is probably the best player in the world when it comes to the short format, at least that's what the statistics show. He can break the game open with both the bat and ball. As a batter in T20 cricket he is one of the best going around. He has dominated and won matches for his country. And he has done that here in the IPL before".
Faulkner who has come to India after playing in another twenty20 tournament, the Big Bash said, "The conditions are a lot different. Australia is where I am from so I am used to those conditions there. India is different when it comes to the weather, the pitches and how they play. But I think I have got the game to adapt to any sort of conditions around the world."
"The quality of cricket in both – the IPL and the Big Bash is international (level). IPL has very high standards and I am really looking forward to IPL kicking off."
"I have just finished my summer back in Australia so I am in reasonably good conditions at the moment. I came four-five days ago to adapt to the wickets over here. I have done really good in nets so far and I will have another one today and I look forward to it all starting," the pacer added.
Discussing his own batting and adapting to different formats of the game, Rahane said, "As an international cricketer you have to adapt to different things. My main strength is that I like to learn new things every day. I just want to focus and stick to my game plan."
On his style of playing in the 'V' which can fetch runs as much as any other innovative shot like a 'dilscoop' Rahane explained, "Every batsman has his own style. My style is to keep things simple. My idols are Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. Both play cricketing shots and are successful in T20 format as well. So I would like to keep it very simple and stick to my game plan. You need to adapt to all these situations. It is about the mind set. Adjustments are important and how you approach the game is important."
"Once you get a taste of international cricket, it is like a bug so you want to keep playing and performing as well as you can for your country. And it's the same when it comes to the IPL. Anywhere that I play, I think I want to achieve my goals and play as well as I can for that team. It's is no different for Rajasthan Royals and I am looking forward to it," Faulkner said.
On the batsman he looks forward to bowl to, the tall Australian pacer said, "Definitely Chris Gayle. I have got a little bit of rivalry with him now if I get the option to bowl at him again I sure he will try to hit me out of the ground and I will try to get him out so I am sure it will be good for all the spectators."

Comments about Original Flap Hat with Ties UPF 50+ - White:
I bought the medium for my son when he was 5 or 6 mos old and have been using it every day since (we take a lot of walks). I stays on great on its own, but he loves to play with the ties so I'm glad they're there. I will be buying another in the next size soon.

Comments about Original Flap Hat with Ties UPF 50+ - Candy Pink:
I purchased this hat in size medium for my 3 month baby for a trip we were taking to Hawaii. I am SO glad I bought this, she wore it all week long! It's great because it shades her neck and ears, and the bill at the front of the hat can be folded up or down depending on where the sun is shining!
I will definitely be getting these every summer and for friends as well. Definitely worth the $15 or so dollars!!!

Old Major's dream team of mixologists (see our pick for best bartender) delivers a seasonal and constantly evolving libation list that matches our mood whenever we drop in. On a recent visit, we couldn't resist the subtly sweet 46 and 2 (rum, orange Curaçao, yellow Chartreuse, basil, and lime juice), and this winter we swooned over the restaurant's unique scotch cocktails. The bar space is tiny, so try to nab a spot on the patio.

Episode 08
Oh, so I'm in jail again? First things first:
Ahem, but the actual episode itself. Oh my, page 32 of this thread has my thoughts on episode 07, one of the key things I asked was where was the basketball stuff in ep 07, but mama mia we have swimsuits and basketball in one ep! Awhooo who's idea was it? Any friend of Aoi-chan is a friend of me Aoi went strapless , like Seiryuu, I have no qualms about her size. But I need to verify, so all I need to do is fondle- *get's a shimapan kick from Aoi* Ah! In that same page 32 I mentioned about Tomoka not wearing her Subaru-wristbands, and now she did! Wait a minute... is the production staff reading my posts and trolling me? It's no secret where my allegiance lies, and this ep makes me like Aoi even more. Look at that, a lot of what she said in this ep was perfectly valid, and she was very observant of the girls' shortcomings, just like how I'm observant on girls too *ahem* But, she complements Subaru's coaching so well, further fueling my hatred against the Tomoka X Subaru pairing I'm definitely hoping she becomes an assistant for the loli's, since they seem to like her too. More Aoi in this series is never a bad thing Quote:
This is the best experience if it ends with an Aoi kick. Anything to experience the awesome power of a shimapan kick Quote:
Took me a good 2 hours to post this...

worshipping the pantyhose
Seriously speaking, I guess hers are firm... wait! You lie! When Airi's boobies kissed Aoi's boobies, her boobie's went squishy squishy, meaning there's some bouncy bouncy with those boingy boingy's! So I am right! (I'm a little hyper right now lol...)

I guess I'm a little disappointed this episode, maybe because I'm expecting a cat fight between Aoi and the 5 girls. especially Tomoka.
I guess what really apparent is Tomoka's drive of playing basketball shifts to more of being together with Subarun. Playing bad when she thought Subarun got a girlfriend. Also didn't know Hina was serious of marrying Subarun, and even Saki is developing some of it. (I guess I needed some of your charisma Subarun). But the focus again in this episode is Airi -- doing her best in facing her fears. I guess Subarun can really get away of jail if he dated Airi with all the height but I'm still ALL Tomoka!!!

That must have been something to see
Yeah! Following the tradition of the Strike Witches "Crotch Kiss", I call that the Boob Kiss Ah, Airi. After overcoming your fear of the waters, you have found solace in the aquatic activity known as swimming. Look, your swimsuit, soaked in the chloronated goodness that is a pool, how it enclamps upon your (16 yrs old!) body, ah such a sight to behold...

The insult posted on Twitter wasn't subtle.
"Funny thoughts," it began. "I have a degree in liberal arts. Do you want fries with that?"
It would be one thing if this were a random guy dissing a well-rounded education to his 12 Twitter followers. But the trash talk this time about those graduates' job prospects was on the site of an online nurse training provider with more than 4,000 followers. It was too visible to ignore, and this time, the defenders of the liberal arts weren't about to let it go.
As part of a larger campaign to promote the value of liberal arts instruction, a group representing small- and medium-size private liberal arts campuses has begun fighting back in real time against what it views as misinformation or outright slams found in social media, where students and parents increasingly get their information about colleges.
"Ummm, who do you think hires nurses?" came the retort from "Libby and Art," a fictitious college student and counselor who collectively are the public face of @SmartColleges, a new Twitter feed created by The Council of Independent Colleges. "Liberal arts graduates are more likely to be the ones to hire the health professionals you train."
The Twitter feed debuted Dec. 11. Eventually, those involved in the campaign expect to monitor Facebook, Instagram and other platforms for mentions of liberal arts, repeating posts that have positive things to say and challenging those that do not.
Leaders of liberal arts colleges long have pointed to data showing their graduates perform well in tests of learning outcomes, are more engaged in their communities and possess flexible thinking that employers want. Nevertheless, their side has lost ground in the debate as the public increasingly views job preparation and education for life as two separate things.
Joblessness in the still-recovering economy has not helped matters, nor has public skepticism overall about what a college degree costs.
The Washington, D.C.-based council is hoping to help reverse that with its campaign, dubbed "Securing America's Future: The Power of Liberal Arts Education."
The council is using research, opinion pieces, speeches and other tools along with social media to drive home the importance of an education grounded across the humanities, arts and sciences, from languages and history, to anthropology and math.
"If you can't write well, if you can't understand problems from multiple angles because you don't understand multiple disciplines, then you're not going to be a good engineer," said S. Georgia Nugent, former president of Kenyon College, who is leading the campaign. "You're probably not going to progress to manager and you're not likely to be an innovator."
Ms. Nugent, herself a classics scholar, said she is troubled by the change in thinking about the reason for a college degree. "In public discourse, we seem to have lost all sight of higher education having anything to do with anything other than making the most possible money," she said. "It's very disturbing to think of education's only purpose being wealth generation for the individual or society."
It's not as if students from liberal arts campuses don't go on to careers in research and science because they do, often in disproportionate numbers, campaign organizers say. As undergraduates, those students presumably got a well-rounded education and then concentrated on their career.
Robert Noyce, co-inventor of the microchip that ushered in the information age, attended a liberal arts campus, notching degrees in physics and math from Grinnell College in Iowa in 1949. Before he was known as the "Father of Transplantation," UPMC surgeon Thomas Starzl was a student at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., where he received a biology degree in 1947.
There are others, said Ms. Nugent, including former secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, who received an English degree from Dartmouth College. She noted that the CEO of Procter & Gamble was a French and history major at Hamilton College.
As a group advocating for independent colleges, the council is trying to challenge assumptions that private colleges are beyond financial reach. Ms. Nugent said people look at the sticker price of those schools without understanding that many students actually pay far less after financial aid. A third leave college with no debt, she said, and those with loans more typically owe what a small car costs -- in the neighborhood of $20,000 -- rather than the $100,000 and up sometimes portrayed in media.
Annual tuition and fees on private campuses nationwide averaged $30,094, about three times that of public campuses, according to the College Board's annual price survey released this fall. A separate study by the National Association of College and University Business Officers found the freshmen tuition discount rate on private campuses stands at 45 percent.
The joblessness rate for recent college graduates in liberal arts is about in the middle relative to other career paths, said Anthony Carnevale, director of Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce. He said recent graduates from English, Spanish and design have lower unemployment rates than those from majors like anthropology, education and social studies.
What may be more important, he said, are earnings. Bachelors' degree holders from liberal arts and humanities have median earnings of $47,000, lower than the median earnings of above $70,000 and $60,0000 for graduates of engineering and business programs respectively, but more than the median of about $40,000 in earnings for psychology and education graduates, Mr. Carnevale said.
It might seem odd that those skilled at reason and at taking the long view of things would be so preoccupied with beating back a blogger.
But experts in social media campaigns and in protecting brands aren't surprised. Better to go find the insult than to wait for that insult to find you.
"It's actually very smart," said George Potts, vice president for social media with Brunner, a Pittsburgh advertising agency. "One-to-one peer communication is much more influential than traditional communication. I'm more influenced by my circle of friends and contacts in social media. If they [criticize] the quality of liberal arts education, that's going to be more influential to me than just somebody taking out a paid advertisement on radio or in print."
But such campaigns can be labor intensive. With so many people out there tweeting and blogging, it makes sense to zero in on individuals and messages that carry the most influence and target responses to them, he said.
And in an arena that can be volatile, it's best to be mindful of your message.
"What I always tell my clients is think of social media like a cocktail party," Mr. Potts said. "Be careful what you say. Always be polite."
The staff answering tweets under the name "Libby and Art" so far have kept a measured tone, even when a woman from Indianapolis tweeted that her uncle told her: "This piece of artwork is like getting a liberal arts degree, it's pointless and screams 'I can't get a job.' "
Their reply: "Sounds like he needs to read this column on the five big myths surrounding liberal arts education." Attached was a link to the op-ed piece written by Ms. Nugent.
Another "Libby and Art" tweet alluded to data showing college graduates, even in a bad economy, earn substantially more than those without a degree.
To a tweet stating "College debt = scary," Libby and Art replied: "Taking on some debt to earn a college degree = wise financial decision."
There was nothing to challenge in a tweet by a Wheaton College student, so "Libby and Art" simply retweeted her words: "When your bio teacher emails you back congratulating you on your final grade. These are the perks of a small liberal arts college."
To prepare for the campaign, several social media monitoring tools were used to track the frequency and nature of tweets involving the words "liberal" and "arts" as they appeared with nearly 140 other keywords such as "job," "debt," "degree" and "success," according to Sawmill Marketing Public Relations, a Baltimore firm hired to work with the council on its campaign.
The firm found on average 175 mentions a day, tilted generally to the negative largely due to the dominance of cost/affordability messages.
Campaign planners say they hope to shift the discussion into positive territory as "Libby and Art" continue to tweet. And if words alone aren't enough, perhaps some idyllic photos will help, like the snapshot "Libby and Art" retweeted Friday of Susquehanna University's historic Seibert Hall after a winter storm:
"Lots of beautiful #LiberalArts campus #snowday pics this morning.'"

Dave Douglas
Douglas grew up in the New York City area. He started playing piano at the age of five, then trombone at seven before discovering the trumpet at nine. He learned jazz harmony in high school and began playing improvised music as an exchange student in Barcelona, Spain. From 1981 to 1983 he studied in Boston, first at the Berklee School of Music, then the New England Conservatory. He moved to New York City in 1984, where he attended New York University and studied with Carmine Caruso. In 1987, he toured Europe with Horace Silver. The early '90s saw Douglas begin to record in earnest; he led or co-led dates for the Hat Art, Soul Note, New World, and Arabesque labels. His various bands included the Tiny Bell Trio, a self-described "jazz-Balkan-improv" group with drummer Jim Black and guitarist Brad Shepik (who used the surname Schoeppach at the time); his String Group, which included violinist Mark Feldman, cellist Erik Friedlander, bassist Mark Dresser, and drummer Michael Sarin; and his Quartet and Sextet, which included drummer Joey Baron. Also busy as a sideman, he could be heard during this period on recordings by Patricia Barber, Myra Melford, Anthony Braxton, and John Zorn (particularly the latter's original Masada quartet), among others, and the trumpeter continued such collaborations until the end of the new millennium's first decade.
Douglas began recording for RCA in 2000 with a tribute to jazz pianist Mary Williams titled Soul on Soul, a Down Beat Album of the Year award-winner that markedly enhanced the trumpeter's profile on the jazz scene. That same year A Thousand Evenings, featuring accordionist Guy Klucevsek, was released, followed by El Trilogy and Witness in 2001. It was with Witness that Douglas began to broaden his already eclectic scope, incorporating electronic-savvy improvisers like Jamie Saft and Ikue Mori, as he had first begun to investigate with the samplers of Anthony Coleman and Yuka Honda on 1997's Sanctuary. His next album, The Infinite, featured a more familiar sound but surprising covers of songs by Rufus Wainwright and Björk. Freak In, a more electronic-oriented effort, was released in 2003.
Douglas began his own Greenleaf Music label in 2003 and introduced it with the Mountain Passages album, released in early 2005 by a new aggregation, Dave Douglas & Nomad. Next came yet another new ensemble for the trumpeter, Keystone, which released an eponymous CD/DVD tribute to Fatty Arbuckle produced by Douglas and David Torn, also in 2005. The Dave Douglas Quintet (featuring an electrified Uri Caine on Fender Rhodes) releases Meaning and Mystery and Live at the Jazz Standard arrived in 2006 and 2007, followed by the Keystone group's Moonshine in 2008. In 2009, Douglas returned with Spirit Moves by his latest grouping, the brass ensemble Brass Ecstasy.
In 2010, he collaborated with experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison to reinterpret the film Frankenstein for its 100th anniversary. Morrison recontextualized the film using new, archival, and distressed footage, while Douglas wrote an original score. The project was entitled Spark of Being. In addition to a soundtrack of the same name, Douglas and his Keystone group recorded two more albums and created a box set, though the titles were available individually as well. Spark of Being: Expand was released in August of 2010, and featured the band playing extended but "straight" versions of the cues used in the soundtrack. The final volume, Spark of Being: Burst, included themes recorded during the original soundtrack sessions, but were never used in the film. It followed in September of that year.
In 2011, Douglas issued three "EPs" on Greenleaf Music: the first, entitled Rare Metals, showcased five tunes by Brass Ecstasy; the second, Orange Afternoons, showcased a quintet with Ravi Coltrane, Vijay Iyer, Linda Oh, and Marcus Gilmore. The final disc, Bad Mango, featured Douglas performing with So Percussion. The three titles were originally issued only as digital downloads, but were assembled for a physical CD release in box form in November. In 2012, Douglas released a new quintet offering entitled Be Still. The album was a collection of new tunes and hymns that featured vocalist Aoife O'Donovan along with the group's lineup of saxophonist Jon Irabagon, pianist Matt Mitchell, bassist Linda Oh, and drummer Rudy Royston. A year later, Douglas returned with the same quintet, minus O'Donovan, for the album Time Travel. In 2014, Douglas paired with Caine for Present Joys, a duo album inspired by Sacred Harp vocal music.
The year 2015 proved to be busy for Douglas, who first joined saxophonist Joe Lovano for the Wayne Shorter-inspired quintet album Sound Prints: Live at Monterey Jazz Festival. Later, he collaborated with electronic musician Shigeto on the electro-acoustic album High Risk, and released the quintet album Brazen Heart. Douglas then finished out the year with another collaboration, Fabliaux, featuring the Monash Art Ensemble. In May of 2016, he was presented with a Doris Duke Artist Award. Also that year, Douglas released Dark Territory, his second album featuring his High Risk ensemble with electronic artist Shigeto, bassist Jonathan Maron, and drummer Mark Guiliana. ~ Chris Kelsey

Benefits such as making your own schedule and working from home are just some of the reasons people choose to own and operate a business online. There are still expenses to be paid and laws to be followed, however. One of the most important laws to know about is how to handle online sales tax. Though the rules can vary by state, they all follow the same basic structure, and it is important to understand what that structure is.
How Do I Know if I Need to Charge Taxes?
A general rule of thumb when deciding whether your online business needs to tax your customers is to follow the nexus rule. A nexus is the physical presence of a business in a state. This can include a store, an office or a warehouse. In some states, it is even considered a physical presence if you take frequent business trips to the state. Each state defines a nexus differently. If you are unsure if your business is considered to have a physical presence in a state, you should contact that state's revenue agency. If your business is considered a nexus, you will need to charge sales tax to the people in that state. If you do not qualify as a nexus in a customer's state, then they will not need to be charged sales tax.
How Was This Rule Decided?
The rule about mail-order business taxation laws is based on the Supreme Court's ruling in Quill Corp v. North Dakota (1992). In the case, the Supreme Court Justices decided that all mail-order businesses would have to follow the nexus rule, and could not charge sales tax to a customer if the business was not located within their state. As the Internet became more popular and online shopping began to take the place of shopping in brick and mortar stores, many states adapted laws to include online shopping into its mail-order business taxation laws. However, no official ruling has ever been made about taxation for online shopping.
Are There Any Complications?
One downfall of the nexus ruling is that tax rates are actually determined by the states and can vary from state to state, and even from municipality to municipality. To make it even more complicated, some states do not charge any sales tax at all. Those states are Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. It is important to be on top of changing tax laws in each municipality and state that your business has a physical presence in. Try asking your current tax professional for tips about notification systems and other ways to keep up on the changing statutes.
Isn't there an Easier Way?
One way that many owners of online businesses choose to handle the taxation is to implement online shopping cart software. Some of this software is very basic and offer no tax programming. In this case, the owner will want to hire a professional assistant that specializes in building and modifying shopping cart software to include tax information. Another option is to purchase one of several shopping cart software options that automatically includes programming to handle taxes, and automatically figures taxes on each order.

Thankfully, Tom Waits seems too odd to ever create anything that might absorb the cheesiest parts of Glee. That said, Twenty-Four Bit is reporting that Waits is teaming up with director Robert Wilson yet again for a new stage musical project. The two collaborated on Alice and Wonderland, The Black Rider and Wayneck previously. This time the duo will also join forces with acclaimed writer/director Martin McDonagh and are slated to premier the project sometime next year in Paris. This project remains untitled, but we've got high hopes it will eventually lead to some quality music being released.

I'm doing my first pattern from this book. I've completed my cuff, my leg, and my heel turn. Now I'm ready to pick up stitches for my gusset. I'm using 2 circs. I have 16 stitches on one needle, which are my heel stitches. The 2nd needle has the instep stitches.
I PU 14 stitches from the side of my heel flap and 2 at the top of the gusset. Place a marker. Then it says, "NEEDLE 2: Work half of instep stitches in pattern, PM, PU 2 sts at top of gusset, PU 14 sts from side of heel flap, knit half of heel flap stitches from needle 1 to needle 2."
The part I'm having trouble with there is the "half." There are 28 stitches on needle 2. If I only work half of them, I'm still 14 stitches away from my heel flap and gusset. That makes no sense to me. I would think I would work all the way across needle #2.
The second question I have is after I have done the above, I move on to the gusset. Right before it gets to the gusset instructions, it says, "Work rnd 1 once to combine sts picked up and to eliminate gap at the top of the gusset." Then it goes on to give me instructions for Rnd 1, Rnd 2, etc.
Are those 2 steps there? I would think, esp since Rnd 1 includes directions to work in pattern, that I would immediately go from picking up my stitches to Rnd 1 instructions, but that little sentence before has me confused.
This is all on page 35 of the book if anyone has it and wants to look.
I have that book!!! It's great ^.^
Look above needle 2's instructions that you are having trouble with. You placed a marker after your PU stitches then is says work half of instep stitches in pattern.
Then there's needle 2 saying work half (what you posted). In other words, at this point you shouldn't have all the instep stitches on needle 2.
What you're doing is transfering some of the stitches to the other needle so that at the end each needle holds half the foot and half the instep stitches. With needle 1, PU first side of stitches and knit half the instep stitches in pattern. With needle 2 work the other half of the instep stitches in pattern, then you do the PU. Then it says to knit half the heel-flap stitches from needle 1 to needle 2. Now you should have half and half on the 2 needles.
As for the gusset decrease, do round 1 once after you've finished the PU stitches round. That's the only time you do it. Now go to rounds 2 and 3 and you'll notice you only repeat them from then on. It says repeat rows 2 and 3 until (#) remains.
Hope this helps
Yes, that helps. I was completely overlooking that first line in the green box! Thank you so much!
Oh, if you like this book - I just got Socks a la Carte. Oh my! I'm in sock book heaven!
You're welcome I'll keep that book in mind next time I'm hunting a good sock book.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Place the water, salt and molasses in a large 12-quart container and stir until the salt dissolves. Add the pork butt to the brine and weigh down with a zip top bag filled with 2 cups of the brine to make sure it is completely submerged in the brine.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove the pork from the brine, and pat dry.
Heat the smoker to 225 degrees F. Add the wood chunks, and place the pork into the smoker. Cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, 4 to 5 hours.
Once the meat reaches 140 degrees F, heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap the pork in aluminum foil and transfer to a half sheet pan. Place on the center rack and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 200 degrees F and is tender and pulling apart easily, 3 to 5 hours. Remove from the oven and rest, covered for 30 minutes before serving.

Karl D. Wente
Chief Winemaker and Fifth Generation Winegrower
Chief Winemaker and Fifth Generation Winegrower Karl D. Wente is responsible for all winemaking at Wente Vineyards. 2016 will be Karl's 17th vintage and the 15th at Wente Vineyards, working with the family's estate-grown vineyards.
"To me it is a source of pride that my family has been the committed to the soil and climate of Livermore Valley for five generations and Arroyo Seco since the 1960's. And that we have always had a philosophy of delivering thoughtfully balanced, food-friendly wine, with a sense of place," says Karl.
Being highly educated and experienced in both winegrowing and winemaking, Karl maintains the traditional hands-on approach of previous generations of Wente family winemakers. In the vineyards he nurtures no less than 33 grape varieties while in the winery he takes great pride in making balanced and thoughtful wines out of each of them. "Continued emphasis on innovative farming and top quality fruit are the keystones of winemaking. Great wines truly do begin in the vineyard. " Karl says.
Since joining Wente Vineyards in the summer of 2002, Karl has overseen the production of the winery's estate grown and small lot wines. His passion for artisanal, handcrafted wines has led to the addition of limited release wines, The Nth Degree series, as well as the development of a small lot winemaking facility within the main winery.
"Integrity, excellence, sustainability, and respect are truly the values that we share in my family. Integrity is simple. I can almost hear the words of Ernest Wente: 'you've got nothing without your word'. And sustainability has just been a part of our DNA since Carl Wente planted his first vine back in 1883," says Karl.
Along with his interest in the technical aspects of winemaking, Karl is also an ardent viticulturalist. And, thanks to the efforts of the previous generations, he enjoys the benefits of state-of-the-art winemaking facilities and nearly 3,000 acres of vineyard in two premier appellations. "We have a family legacy of innovation and accomplishment," he says. "It's a heritage that inspires me and I am honored to be part of this legacy."
Karl grew up working at Wente Vineyards and he chose to gain experience at other wineries, starting with The Peter Michael Winery in Sonoma. That was followed by a stint at Brown Brothers winery in northern Victoria, Australia, where Karl gained southern hemisphere experience before returning home to Wente Vineyards.
Karl graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Chemical Engineering, then went to graduate school at the University of California at Davis, where he earned two Masters degrees: one in horticulture (viticulture) and one in food science (enology). Studying winemaking and viticulture at U. C. Davis is another family tradition. Karl's father and uncle studied there, as did his great-grandfather in 1909, a year after the school was founded.
Karl is an avid skier, telemarker and mountain climber, and he loves playing tennis and basketball. He also has a passion for music, playing guitar, composing and performing with his band "The Front Porch."

Dutch Diplomat, Family Die in Desert ParkABDOULAYE GANDEMA , Associated Press
May. 2, 1996 6:00 PM ET
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) _ A Dutch diplomat, his wife and their two children died of dehydration after they became stranded in an isolated desert park in this West African nation, officials said Thursday. Their bodies were discovered Saturday in the Pama national park, about 180 miles southeast of the capital, Ouagadougou, after the Dutch Embassy launched an air search. Arnold Eisma, 37, first secretary at the Dutch Embassy; his wife, Gaby Eisma-Poeteray, 33; and their daughters Morgane, 4, and 20-month-old Soraya, died of dehydration, according to Dutch government officials in Burkina Faso and Amsterdam. According to an embassy spokesman in Ouagadougou, the family had set out on a driving holiday April 4 and planned to travel through Benin, Ghana and Togo. They were to drive back to Ouagadougou through Pama, an isolated park on the border with Benin. It appeared they became lost in their vehicle, ran out of gas, and were unable to find assistance. It was the second time in a year foreigners have died in the desert country's sparsely populated national parks, which tourism officials recommend visiting with local guides who know the area. In December, the remains of a British woman were discovered several months after she was reported missing in a park in the far east of the country, near the Niger border. She also died of dehydration. Eisma had been the embassy's first secretary _ the No. 2 official at the mission _ since January 1995. Flags at the Ouagadougou embassy flew at half-staff Thursday. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Worst Trade Since Babe Ruth? UC Berkeley Sells $1M Sculpture for $150
In 1919, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee famously sold a young pitcher named George Herman Ruth to the New York Yankees, netting some petty cash, which may or may not have financed a Broadway play called No, No, Nanette. George went on to become known as Babe, the Yankees went on to win 28 championships and the Sawx didn't win the World Series for 86 years.
The University of California, Berkeley, knows how Frazee must have felt: In 2009, the university sold a sculpture by Sargent Johnson, a prominent figure in the 1930s' Harlem Renaissance, to a gallery outside Los Angeles for a mere $164.63 (tax included). Berkeley, understandably, is under a Mordor's worth of fire from the California art community, who read about the sale this week in The New York Times.
The university admits it mishandled the 22-foot-long redwood carving, which was featured in a school for the deaf and blind. Berkeley bought the building and put the piece in storage, where it was eventually mislabeled and clustered in with other school miscellanea, then put up for sale at its surplus store.
An art dealer named Greg Favors couldn't believe his eyes when he found the sculpture. He called in scholar Gray Brechin to appraise it, who sent him this email: "You BOUGHT this? They SOLD it?" Indeed. Favors sold it for nearly a million dollars to the Huntington Library of San Marino.
What a dick. He didn't even bother to take it on Pawn Stars?
Andrew Goldblatt, assistant risk manager for the university, says of course they regret it. "Something went wrong, and it just cascaded."
Sargent Johnson was one of the first African-American sculptors from California to receive national acclaim. Today his sculptures and carvings sell for more than $100,000.

Together with their countrymen Kreator and Sodom, Germany's Destruction constituted the dominating triumvirate of Teutonic thrash metal during the 1980s. And even though they ultimately failed to match these peers in terms of commercial success and longevity, at least two of their albums still qualify among the crème de la crème of the decade's speed metal. Heavy metal underwent a worldwide revolution in the early '80s, when the lingering lessons from '70s giants like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest crashed head-on with the D.I.Y. ethos of punk rock and the sheer velocity of Motörhead to spawn the much ballyhooed New Wave of British Heavy Metal, which, in turn sparked a far more powerful and lasting bastard offspring: thrash metal. Of all the nations contaminated by this musical virus as it proliferated unchecked, Germany was second only to the U.S. in terms of widespread infection. Among its earliest contenders, there was Hamburg's Helloween, Essen's Kreator, and, from the town of Weil am Rhein in the Fatherland's southwestern tip, Destruction. Formed in 1983 from the remnants of an earlier band named Knight of Demon, Destruction brought together towering vocalist/bassist Marcel Schirmer (aka Schmier), diminutive guitarist Mike Sifringer, and drummer Tommy Sandmann. Looking to take advantage of the bustling worldwide tape-trading network responsible for breaking most of the '80s biggest heavy metal bands, the trio immediately set about recording and circulating its Bestial Invasion demo to critics and fans alike. It wasn't long before Germany's own Steamhammer label came calling with a record deal, and Destruction's Sentence of Death EP was released in 1984, soon to be followed by 1985's Infernal Overkill LP. Both of these were surprisingly proficient affairs fueled by raw aggression and youthful energy, and Destruction toured Germany with Slayer later that year before taking part in the legendary WWIII Festival in Montreal, Canada, alongside Celtic Frost, Voivod, and other rising stars of extreme metal. Once they returned home, the bandmembers got to work on their second album, 1986's well-received Eternal Devastation, but lost founding drummer Sandmann shortly before heading out on the road again, this time with fellow Teutonic thrashers Rage. Thankfully, Sodom's Chris "Witchhunter" Dudeck was able to step in until they could find a permanent replacement in Oliver Kaiser. Additional guitarist Harry Wilkens was also brought on board at this time, and, after testing this new lineup on 1987's Mad Butcher EP, Destruction delivered what many consider their finest album, 1988's Release from Agony. Not all fans were in agreement, however, as the newfangled quartet's far more technical, almost progressive-leaning direction also rubbed hardcore constituents the wrong way. Being chosen as the opening band for Celtic Frost's disastrous Cold Lake tour was another unexpected setback, and, confirming that things were not right within the Destruction camp, popular frontman Schmier was unceremoniously sacked shortly after the release of 1989's Live Without Sense to make way for "more capable" replacements in vocalist Andre Grieder (ex-Poltergeist) and bassist Christian Engler. Feeling betrayed, upset fans made their feelings known by staying away in droves from 1990's Cracked Brain album, as well as subsequent offerings like 1994's Destruction, 1995's Them Not Me (both EPs introducing new vocalist Thomas Rosenmerkel and guitarist Michael Piranio), and particularly, 1998's career low The Least Successful Human Cannonball. Schmier, in the meantime, had formed a new band called Headhunter and busied himself with the operation of his own restaurant, but he couldn't resist the opportunity to finally reunite with former partner-in-crime Sifringer and drummer Sven Vormann; the trio relaunched Destruction at the dawn of the new millennium. Since then, 2000's All Hell Breaks Loose, 2001's The Antichrist, and 2003's Metal Discharge (featuring drummer Marc Reign) have been released by Nuclear Blast, and 2005's Inventor of Evil, 2007's Thrash Anthems, and 2008's D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. by AFM Records. Destruction returned to the Nuclear Blast fold for 2011's Day of Reckoning, which would be the first album to feature new drummer Vaaver. Spiritual Genocide dropped the following year and coincided with their 30th anniversary. Under Attack, the band's 14th studio long-player, dropped in early 2016. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

For those who ADDED foglights...
Did you order the OEM kit from a website like, justforjeeps, or has anyone bought some aftermarket replacement ones off ebay and pieced their kit together that way? If so, where did you order all the other parts from, etc?
Reason being, I came across these here.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=400075828123 any thoughts as to quality or anyone have any experiance with something similar? HID's will be going in them so I don't need a lamp that the housing will start melting in or anything! |
Re: For those who ADDED foglights...
Just to be safe, I'd go OEM.
I always see it as what you pay for is what you get. Hope this helps. |
Re: For those who ADDED foglights...
i just bought the oem from just for jeeps
Re: For those who ADDED foglights...
you can actually buy the kit cheaper if you buy the pieces seperate.....new fog hgousings are $23 each for instance. You also only need the new headlight switch($33 if I remember correctly), a 20 amp fuse and a $11 relay.
so-2 lamps-$46 headlight switch-$33 fuse and relay-$11 total=$90 |
Re: For those who ADDED foglights...
I remember you mentioning this earlier Scott, were you ever able to track down the places and part #'s for people wanting to buy the kit like that? If you have the sites your quoting these prices from that would be awesome!

Sharon, Ariel (ärˈēĕl shärōnˈ) [key], 1928–2014, Israeli general and politician, b. Kfar Malal as Ariel Scheinerman. As a teenager he joined the Haganah, the underground Zionist military brigade, and took his Hebrew name from the Sharon Plain, where he worked in 1947. A superb military leader in the 1948 and 1956 Arab-Israeli Wars, he was made a major general months before the 1967 war. In the 1973 conflict Israeli forces under his command captured Egypt's 3d Army. That year, Sharon resigned from the army, helped establish the right-wing Likud party, and won a seat in parliament. He served as security adviser to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (1975–77) and as minister of agriculture (1977–81). He became (1981) defense minister in the second Begin government, and engineered the construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Sharon was the chief architect of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, and was widely criticized for allowing Lebanese Christian forces into Palestinian refugee camps in West Beirut and held at least indirectly responsible for their subsequent massacre of civilians in the Sabra and Shatila camps. Ousted (1983) from the defense ministry, he subsequently was minister of trade and industry (1984–90) and minister of construction and housing (1990–92); in the latter post he worked to increase Jewish settlement in the occupied territories. In 1996 Sharon became minister of national infrastructure in Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet, and in 1998 he was also appointed foreign minister. After Netanyahu lost the prime ministership to One Israel (Labor) party leader Ehud Barak in 1999, Sharon succeeded Netanyahu as Likud leader.
In 2000, Sharon, accompanied by hundreds of soldiers and police, visited to the Al Aksa Mosque (Temple Mount), a site holy to both Muslims and Jews, located in Palestinian East Jerusalem, ostensibly to show that Israel had sovereignty over it and other holy sites. The visit sparked Arab demonstrations in Jerusalem and in many Arab enclaves, leading to a bloody Palestinian insurrection and, less directly, a prime-ministerial election in which Sharon, pledging to try to reach a workable Arab-Israeli peace while promoting domestic security, defeated Barak (2001). Sharon formed a government of national unity, but pursued a hard line with the Palestinians. Violence escalated in both the occupied territories and Israel, and in 2002 Sharon ordered the reoccupation of West Bank towns in an attempt to prevent attacks against Israelis. The national unity government broke up in Oct., 2002, and new elections in early 2003 resulted in a Likud victory.
In 2003 his government accepted the internationally supported "road map for peace," and resumed talks with the Palestinians until violence again broke out that August. In 2005, however, he withdrew Israeli settlers and forces from the Gaza Strip because of security issues; the move was opposed by many in Likud, and forced him into a coalition (2005) with Labor. Following the withdrawal, Netanyahu unsuccessfully challenged Sharon for the Likud party leadership, and Sharon subsequently formed the centrist Kadima [Forward] party. A stroke in 2006 left Sharon hospitalized in a coma until his death; Ehud Olmert succeeded him as prime minister.
See his autobiography, Warrior (1989); biographies by U. Benziman (1985) and A. Miller et al. (2002).

Hey, I heard about this X800 GT on ati.com. Well they don't say anything about how it compares to the other X800's and they don't even give it's specification. Well I was wondering, how does it compare to all the other X800's? And by the way, do you know about the R520 core series? I can't really find much on it, but if you guys have links please send them to this. Thank you
All I know about the GT is that its suppose to be the 6600GT competitor. It has 8 pipe and runs at 470/490. For the R520 the last I heard was the end of August. It just past PCI-SIG. -Dan
WOAH, well that sucks. It's also pretty stupid, I would think the X700 series would fight the 6600, since it's got 8 pipes and does compare. They should have just released an X700GT, that lowers the X800's names.
Dang, I've been looking at Sapphire and it looks like my overclocked 9800 should compare to that pretty well. So now I can say I can beat X800's, stupid mistake ATI made. I remember when they used to say "more than twice the power of the 9800 series", now they can say "about the same power as our 3 year old cards".
Yeah, I was saying I can compare to X800's now, you know, like saying you can compare to a top model. I've got a 9800 pro way past XT speeds if you read my signature. I hope the GT is hardware moddable, but it's doubtful. It's the newest card for the X800 series, so it's probably not built off any better core. But thanks for telling me
actualy id have to say given the specs it should be a bit better than the 9800xt it has 2 more vertex shaders a updated core a little over 50 mhz more core and over 2x100mhz more on the mem
As a Side note... I BIOS flashed my Sapphire x800Pro to x800XT and now it sais my VGA card is a x800GT Funny that. Likily... as it's a Pro i am still running 12pipelines AND this card overclockes like there is no tomorrow. 585mhz Core 585Mhz mem. Without any game corruption. Thats faster then x850XTPE
I love how clocks on these cards go so high, it makes you so proud when you outdo stock speeds, especially that high. But I don't know, the X800 series should never have gone 8 pipelines, the only thing it does is make 9800, 6600, and X700 owners proud that their cards can still do everything with only 8 pipelines (so they're not futile). Again, it should have gone to the X700 series.
8 pipes is a little low...it's almost a highly clocked x700 I cannot say much about the x800GT as i dont have one... apparently i read that more pipes can be enabled... so thus attracting enthusiast... imgine inableing 12 or even 16 pipes on it... thats an x800Pro for a much lower price. Worth looking into. Performance wise... it's similar to what a 6600GT is to a x700 This x800GT is to 6600GT... 6600GT is faster then x700 (in most things but not all and only by a little) x800GT is faster in most things then 6600GT but not by much. Really x800GT should have been the x700GT (Pro) whatever... to compete with the 6600. No matter which way you see it... Naming convention is a little crap in this case. I am really sad i cant hack my x800Pro to go 16pipes... really sad about that
