My Feedback: Here on Automags.org, On MCB, BigEvilOnline, and PaintBallNation
well, we will all have a great laugh if you did miss your flight again. at least you know what you need to do and how to get here.
Last edited by Nobody; 02-08-2013 at 12:08 AM.
but actually making your flight doesnt make for a cool story... in fact, you gotta one up what you did last year. this time, you miss your flight and during the drive up, all your tires blow out. then you find a little kid on a bike and steal it, then ride the rest of the way up with all your gear on your back.
This will fade one day. Then you will regret all the things you missed and realize that all those things you did were for NOTHING because she will complain to you all the way to your grave and even after that when she steps all over it!
Enjoy Her BIRTHDAY! We will all be having a GREAT time at the cabins (hopefully) and drinking, not thinking of you!
By the way and for the record, I have been married (still am) for longer than you have been alive so I think I know a thing or two about how to stay in a marriage!
Remember this: Wisdom is a by product of Experience! Use it when it is offered!
......You know you want one!!
to the possibility of another appearance by the great and mighty. . . .ZONDO!
A couple of questions...
1. Will we need to RSVP or register?
2. Is it safe to assume there will be a swap meet of sorts?
There will be TONS of stuff. Tuna brings a truck full.. everyone else has globs and globs of pb junk for sale, if you are into cockers, the guys at Topgun have a good portion of the wgp inventory.. Simon Stevens always brings a bunch of old and new goodies also... plus you just never never know
i think we will have another white elephant/sale again. so bring parts or money, and guns. who wouldn't want to win a trophy for having the best Mag or other gun?
Im really really hoping to NOT leave Tunaball again this year with more guns than I show up with.
Its always nice to be able to call you on the phone and see where you are time wise,... we want to meet everyone! Its why we have this weekend.
I brought a duffel bag of cradles i handed out for FREE,... not too many people wanted one though,.. they were BNIB by the way!
I gave out 2 VER frames for the raffle,.. and some other stuff. I go now to hang out with the guys and see my "friends". My real friends.
I met Loguzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzo for the first time, Simon, Ando, Zondo, pillage, etc..... guys I talk with more than I do with my family.
If you go to play paintball,.. you will find yourself getting distracted a lot!
Jai "P8ntbal4me" Menard
"Accuracy by aiming."
Definitely not on the A-Team.
That crazy jvaughn212 and myself are gonna be there. Looking forward to the event. Can't wait to get to know everyone and talk about automags. Might even plan on playing some paintball while we are there.
I did have a couple questions if someone would be so nice to answer.
Do you suggest bringing tables to set up your gear on? Should we bring a pop up canopy or are there areas to stay out of the sun if it is hot out? And....What kind of turn out have you had in the past? This will be our first adventure to Tunaball and I was just curious.
I am sure there will be more questions as I think of them. Thanks in advance.
tables are always nice to have. one person who has attended that past 2 Tunaballs, brings a circus and smaller circus tent, but if you feel that you want to have your own tent and don't care to share tent space, then go ahead.
it is better to have and not need, than to not have and want.
You speak wise words Nobody.....If we have room in the vehicle....I will make sure to pack what we can. Then again....it might be difficult to find room around the kegs and strippers. What am I thinking....the strippers can just be loaded into the trunk. With the occasional restroom break of course. After all, we are not that cruel.
Tunatown was pretty big last year
Just finished up the automag. Gonna be difficult to keep it looking this sexy until Tunaball.
It's getting closer
Find the board and you can ban me for life
LOL in the first post
heh, so is tunaball turning into a "staring" contest now, instead of paintball?
Well done
TK is going to be there? REALLY? Does Tunaman know?
Hoping to show up friday wearing my cherry underwear.
Go easy on me, I never played before..
First post updated with lodging info. If anyone has any travel questions please post them up. There are a bunch of us who can help.

When a plot is your passport
Can't afford that big trip you'd hoped to take this summer? Reading an atmospheric mystery or thriller can help to keep the fantasy aglow until next year. And Bill Peschel has reviewed lots that are set in places I'd love to revisit or revisit. Some of the novels he's covered and their backdrops include:
Hawaii: Dan Gordon's Just Play Dead (St. Martin's, 1999)
Paris in the 1920s: Water Satterthwait's Masquerade (St. Martin's, 1999)
London: Simon Shaw's A Company of Knaves (Minotaur, 1998)
Rural England: Ann Granger's A Word After Dying (Avon, 1999)

LONGMONT -- A new online database should make it easier for residents to learn about registered sex offenders living in the city, according to the Longmont Police Department.
Detective Stacey Graham led the effort for the city to abandon a police beat-based registry map in favor of a multiagency online database called SOTAR, or Sex Offender Tracking and Registry. Longmont and the Boulder County Sheriff's Office have been working to integrate the searchable system for about a year.
The new system allows residents to search for registered sex offenders generally in the city or by entering an address and searching for offenders within a specific distance of that address. Residents also may sign up for email alerts that are sent when a new sex offender registers within selected parameters, such as within a mile of the registrant's home.
"We're trying to get the other Boulder County jurisdictions up and running, as well," Graham said.
Graham and several other police employees have been working to enter all of the eligible sex offenders into the online system, including their addresses, mug shots, descriptions, convictions and associated vehicles. Of about 224 registered sex offenders in the city, Graham said, 74 meet the state's legal criteria to be listed online. Getting the baseline information into the system has been time consuming, she said, and she and others are still working on it. Sometimes there can be a delay after a new offender moves into the city.
"Web eligible" offenders include adults convicted of a felony sex offense or a second or subsequent misdemeanor sex offense, including sexual assault, unlawful sexual contact, sexual assault on a client, sexual exploitation of a child by possession of exploitative material, indecent exposure and sexual conduct in a penal institution. Juvenile offenders may be listed if convicted of two or more crimes that involved illegal sexual behavior or a crime of violence, or if convicted of a crime that would have been a felony had the juvenile been an adult.
Police note that the online list will not include all sex offenders, though residents can request a full list from the police department, and that convictions may not be a good indicator of risk.
"Unfortunately, most sex offenders are somebody that you know," Graham said.
The system, developed and maintained by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, includes more than 40 Colorado agencies. Graham said law enforcement officers have special access to the system that offers more information beyond the public listings and that officers can access listings from any of the member agencies.
Officers hit the streets Tuesday to check on current registrants to make sure they were current on their legal requirements and that they still lived at the addresses listed.
"The officers can do a house check and they can actually update information on the street and it can go into the file," Graham said.
The new system also allows an offender's file to follow them from jurisdiction to jurisdiction easily so long as the new agency also uses the SOTAR system.
Graham said the system alerts her when a new offender is scheduled to register in the city and when a registration is overdue.
"They are kind of out there screaming, 'Look at me,'" she said.
She said the system is geocoded from Google maps, so some registrations are imprecise because Google hasn't been able to keep up with all of the city's growth. However, the addresses are in the ballpark.
"It does put the person in the general area, but it is not capable of putting in their exact residence," she said.
The link to the SOTAR system is ci.longmont.co.us/police/crimeupdate/disclaimer.htm.

Posted on May 7, 2012
All right, all right: in response to popular demand, I shall pause in my explanation of the Manager's philosophy behind all the subject headings at the Book Fair. I'm not sure whether it's the glimpse into a Blogsy brain that is so appalling or if it's a simple case of Superman's wires. It is enough to see Superman fly; it spoils the movie for some people to learn about the wires and camera tricks that make it possible.
So in place of my remarks on the Women's section (I had a customer once who demanded to know why there were books by men there.) I will address you on the subject of non-book families. I mentioned these folks before—nice people, many of them, and not at all illiterate or uneducated. Some people, as I said, consider their books to be tools: useful when needed, discarded or set aside when not. But a recent donor took it all too far: almost a pathological case of non-bookness.
I get the impression it was a matter of inheritance. A parent or grandparent or someone was altogether the other way: somewhere in her ancestry was a book family. You can tell. One book has the name of the 18th century owner written on the title page, a bookplate a hundred years later from an owner with the same last name, and a scribble underneath from fifty years after by someone with the same first and middle names as the 19th century owner. A clear case of family heirloom bookishness.
What does a non-book family do in such a case? It may have involved an inherited house, and the books stayed for a while on the shelves. They stayed somewhere, at least, where they got too hot and dry, and the leather covers began to break off. This happens in bookish families, too, but in any case does not encourage book use. At some point, the books were packed away, as family treasures not used but too good to throw out, and stacked in a storage locker.
The storage locker leaked, so the books which had previously been too dry now sustained water damage. Such a leak takes a while to notice, because families don't go out on a Sunday afternoon for a picnic at the storage locker the way they used to. They look in the locker once or twice a year, and then only to get out the lawn umbrella and put away the winter clothes.
On discovering that all these lovely old leather books were damp-stained and losing their covers, the family tried to pass them along to bookish folk via that fine old suburban redistribution program: the garage sale. Each book was marked at three bucks and set out in milk crates. When this failed to turn the trick, they asked around and heard about the Newberry. Saved! They could deal with their ancestral heritage without recourse to the dumpster.
If only the Book Fair had been around fifty years ago, we might have performed a rescue mission. I now have milk crates of books lacking covers, sets lacking volumes (something sold at the garage sale), and books with covers intact but the most appalling stains. Here's a set of Dickens lacking a volume (there were only four; in 1853, when the set came out, he hadn't finished writing yet), there's an important first edition from 1848 in pristine condition if you don't notice that the entire binding, front, back, and spine, is missing, and here's a lovely set of blue leather volumes containing engravings bound up specially for the family AND the only obvious spot of mold in the collection (but it makes up for being alone by also being the size of a dollar bill.)
I wasn't going to talk Book fair categories, but let me just mention that a volunteer once suggested that we set aside a section for Free Books. "You know, books no one would actually spend money for."
I said, "We have a section like that. It's caked a Recycling Bin."

Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving it the form of reality.

I have the right to do whatever I wish with my property. If I own a pile of wood, I can set fire to it even if it is currently nailed together in the shape of a barn. Cigarettes may not be healthy for me in the long run, but I have the freedom to smoke them anyway. Drinking alcohol may or may not have negative side effects, but even if it does, the government has no authority to prohibit you from consuming it, even if it is "in your own best interest." Since when do we let the government decide what is or isn't good for us? What the hell does Congress know about nutrition, anyway? (For that matter, what does Congress know about the Constitution?) If the government can use force whenever something is "in our best interest" then government should force everyone to wake up at 6am every morning for calisthenics in the front yard. Fast food establishments should be torn down and replaced with bars that serve carrot juice and alfalfa sprouts, since - "it's in your best interest." This paternalistic attitude that "the government knows best" and that you are merely a helpless child is insulting and reprehensible. Hitler used the same attitude to persuade the Germans to subjugate themselves to the "Fatherland."Michael J. Badnarik
The one and only test of a valid religious idea, doctrinal statement, spiritual experience, or devotional practice was that it must lead directly to practical compassion. If your understanding of the divine made you kinder, more empathetic, and impelled you to express this sympathy in concrete acts of loving-kindness, this was good theology. But if your notion of God made you unkind, belligerent, cruel, or self-righteous, or if it led you to kill in God's name, it was bad theology. Compassion was the litmus test for the prophets of Israel, for the rabbis of the Talmud, for Jesus, for Paul, and for Muhammad, not to mention Confucius, Lao-tsu, the Buddha, or the sages of the Upanishads.Karen Armstrong
Clever men will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness; every authority rouses their ridicule, every superstition amuses them, every convention moves them to contradiction. Only force finds favor in their eyes, and they have no toleration for anything that is not purely natural and spontaneous. And yet ten clever men are not worth one man of talent, nor ten men of talent worth one man of genius. And in the individual, feeling is more than cleverness, reason is worth as much as feeling, and conscience has it over reason. If, then, the clever man is not mockable, he may at least be neither loved, nor considered, nor esteemed. He may make himself feared, it is true, and force others to respect his independence; but this negative advantage, which is the result of a negative superiority, brings no happiness with it. Cleverness is serviceable for everything, sufficient for nothing.Henri-Frdric Amiel
I tell my brethren in Palestine: be patient and continue your blessed struggle. We did not forget you. We are still healing another wound in the Muslim nation, which is the occupation of our land by the Americans. Your battle and ours are one and the same.Mohammed Omar

When you are confronted with terrible hardships, and no one offers you any support, when your friends turn into enemies, and even your relatives have deserted you, and when all support has given way, and all hope has been lost - if you then come to remember the Supreme Lord God, even the hot wind shall not touch you.Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Some material things make my life more enjoyable; many, however, would not. I like having an expensive private plane, but owning a half-dozen homes would be a burden. Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner. The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends. My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes, and compound interest. Both my children and I won what I call the ovarian lottery. (For starters, the odds against my 1930 birth taking place in the U.S. were at least 30 to 1. My being male and white also removed huge obstacles that a majority of Americans then faced.) My luck was accentuated by my living in a market system that sometimes produces distorted results, though overall it serves our country well. Ive worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions. In short, fates distribution of long straws is wildly capricious. The reaction of my family and me to our extraordinary good fortune is not guilt, but rather gratitude. Were we to use more than 1% of my claim checks on ourselves, neither our happiness nor our well-being would be enhanced. In contrast, that remaining 99% can have a huge effect on the health and welfare of others. That reality sets an obvious course for me and my family: Keep all we can conceivably need and distribute the rest to society, for its needs. My pledge starts us down that course.Warren Edward Buffett
So many read good books and get nothing, because they read them over cursorily, slightly, superficially.Thomas Brooks

Giving feels good. It is a form of healing. Not just for you as an individual, but for everyone.Jennifer Beals
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.Amelia Earhart

Disney has shut down seminal computer game developer LucasArts, reports Kotaku, saying over 150 jobs have been lost amid the cancellation of Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313. They attribute this to a reliable source, and a confirmation can be found on GameInformer, where they have a comment from a representative from LucasFilm saying the cancellation of Star Wars 1313 is not absolute, as they will be looking to license games like that planned action/adventure in the future. "It is worth noting that we are looking for proven external partners who can help us provide video games to our fans. We still believe in the video game industry, we still will provide Star Wars games, we're just looking at different models rather than internal production... They're evaluating everything. There's always a possibility that it [Star Wars 1313] can still come out via licensing," the rep told them. "It's super sad. It's a terrible day. I want to make sure everyone realizes that there still will be Star Wars games out there."

I saw you in the street,
I saw you in a tree,
I saw you in the bathtub –
Whoops! Pardon me!
I Saw You in the Bathtub: And Other Folk Rhymes (An I Can Read Book 1) By Alvin Schwartz. Illustrated by Syd Hoff. HarperTrophy, 64 pp., $3.99, paperback. Ages 5–8 (for independent reading), ages 2 and up (for reading aloud).
By Janice Harayda
A couple of months ago, I mentioned I Saw You in the Bathtub in the context of a couple of its poems that relate to Halloween. But this book is so much fun, it has a year-round appeal.
Alvin Schwartz has collected 40 ageless folk rhymes that consist mainly of words of one or two syllables: "I scream, / You scream, / We all scream / For ice cream!" So this book is a good choice for many kindergarten-though-third-graders who are starting to read and need short words and strongly patterned text.
But children as young as age 2 also love rhymes like: "Teacher, teacher made a mistake — / She sat down in a chocolate cake!" and "Three little chickadees / Looking at you, / One flew away / And then there were two." And because variations on most of the rhymes seem to have existed since Cain, the book has an intergenerational appeal: It gives parents and grandparents a chance to share the versions they know. Am I the only one who learned the title rhyme as: "I saw you in the river, / I saw you in the sea, / I saw you in the bathtub — / Oops! Pardon me!"?
Best line: The title rhyme. But "Mary, Mary, strong and able, / Keep your elbow off the table" may be better known.
Worst line: A few rhymes are taunts that some adults may want to skip when reading the book aloud, such as the deathless: "Kindergarten baby, / Stick your head in gravy!" Speaking just for myself: I'd rather hear those lines than some words that arepopular among 3-year-olds, such as "dickhead."
Recommendation? High value for the dollar as holiday gift for a family with children ages 2 and up. This $3.99 paperback is much more entertaining than most $16.99 hardcover picture books.
Published: March 1989 (first edition), 1991 (HarperTrophy paperback) www.harpercollins.com/books/9780064441513/I_Saw_You_in_the_Bathtub/index.aspx
Reviews of books for children or teenagers appear every Saturday on this site, which will also post a list of suggested gift books for children and teenagers during the holiday season. Please bookmark this site or subscribe to the RSS feed to avoid missing these posts.

I could simply say Harvin and be done with it. That would be too simple, and no fun.
First, what do we know about Pete? He hates turnovers. The turnover margin is often the first thing he mentions, win or lose. He hates turnovers like like I hate leftovers. Particularly in the red zone.
Second, when it comes to making offensive changes, Pete has to be forced to change. He has to see it work. Go back to the Chicago game, it took having our backs against the wall, facing a loss with little clock left, to put the offense truly in Russell's hands. Then overtime came, and with no clock to beat, Pete left the game in Russell's hands. And yet, there had been games earlier in the year, Detroit, Miami, and New England, where putting the game in Russell's hands had shown them what they needed to do. It just took a while to sink in. To me, the acquisition of Harvin is proof the lesson was learned.
Lets go back to the reasons Pete loves the power run. Clock. Turnovers. Tired 4th quarter defenses. But primarily turnovers.
How many red zone turnovers did Russell have last year? When it matters, in the Red zone, Russell is money.
How many failures did the power run game have in the playoffs in the red zone and in field goal range? When it mattered, it was the insistence that no matter what the defense did we were going to run that led to turnovers, and contributed to an early trip home.
The answer to the thread title is no. We are not going to be a pass first offense either, though. We are going to be a multiple offense. I still expect some growing pains as Pete cedes some control of the offense to the intuition and decision making of Russell, and power running is still a staple of the Hawks, but being multiple is going to be our identity moving forward. Harvin does so much with quick passes that expecting Russell to complete near 70 percent of his passes is not unreasonable. That negates some of the clock worries of passing more.
All that said, I expect our run game to be far more efficient moving forward. The threat of Harvin should create more space for running, and the development of Turbin should continue. A fresh Lynch for the playoffs would be welcome difference from last year.
The best part? Our offense can be whatever we need it to be. And when you think back to the mood around here before and as the season began last year, it feels like we are way ahead of schedule.

Since Dom and Brian's Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty. The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

By now, you know if you're in or out for the Fast & Furious franchise. Director Justin Lin took the wheel for the third installment, Tokyo Drift, and kicked it into high gear with an independent trilogy of films with episode four, Fast & Furious. Now he's back for the sixth entry - finally, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and the rest of the gang are ready to go toe to toe with summer's most ludicirous blockbusters. Fast & Furious 6 is a fantasy film, existing in a world where cars defy the laws of physics and logic is put on the back burner. It's more of the same, cranked up 100 times louder. Fans are going to love it.
After stealing millions and falling off the grid in Fast Five, Diesel's Dominic Torreto is recruited by lawman Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) to hunt down international criminal/custom car enthusiast Owen Shaw (Luke Evans). Employing a team of expert drivers, Shaw is knocking off heists across Europe in hopes of assembling the ultimate weapon to sell off to the highest bidder. And there's a catch: Dominic's thought-to-be-dead lady friend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) is part of Shaw's squad. The photographic evidence lights a fire under Dominic, and he gets Brian (Walker) and the rest of the gang back together to put an end to the evil doing.
What Lin does with the Avengers-esque setup of the Fast bros as a supersquad is simply astounding. Dominic and Co. travel to London to intercept Shaw and attack his plan like a swarm of fighter pilots in a WWII dogfight. The movie's not about racing anymore - even though there has to be (and is) a racing scene - and Lin pines for a bigger scale with more innovative action by abandoning the backgrounds of his characters and bestowing them with the power to fight crime. Could a roadster actually face off with a tank? Could a team of street drivers suddenly learn how to fight like they're Bruce Lee? Could Vin Diesel zoom off the edge of an elevated highway, fly in the air, land on a moving car, and survive? Fast & Furious 6 doesn't ask ''could,'' it just says ''does.''
The main issue with the film, that even diehard fans might agree with, is that the drama around the few major set pieces is an absolute bore. Clocking in at nearly two and a half hours, Fast & Furious 6 feels like four seasons of a CBS procedural, with a bigger stunt budget. The twists and turns are episodic, continually returning to Torreto's homebase to formulate the next plan of attack and try and squeeze comedy out of the ensemble. (Funniest person in the movie? Ludacris as Tej - believe it). By the time Brian traces back through his past to an old nemesis - apparently the Fast franchise has a dense mythology worthy of callbacks - the talky moments feel like breaks for power napping. To keep the momentum, Lin shoots dialogue scenes as if they were chases, swirling camera movements and equally dizzying overacting. Just get to the cars already!
To combat superheroes and sci-fi epics, Fast & Furious 6 is even bigger and crazier than before. But it's overload - even with adeptly conceived and executed stunts, the sixth (but not final) entry of Fast is a Porsche souped up with monster truck wheels. Yeah, it looks wild, but it doesn't work.

Amtrak substation repairs to be completed this weekWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
Amtrak and New Jersey Transit are making repairs to an Amtrak-owned electrical substation in Kearny, N.J., which will be completed Friday, Nov.16.
The repairs will provide the power needed to allow for further service expansion.
Amtrak and NJ Transit conducted inspections and testing of the substation and determined the flood damage from Hurricane Sandy was not as severe as first feared. Crews are continuing with the necessary repairs and intend to have the facility back online by week's end, providing increased electrical power and a more reliable signal and switching system between New York City and Newark, N.J.
"The expedited repairs to the substation are a direct result of the cooperation and communication between Amtrak and NJ Transit and will allow our infrastructure to support a near regular service level," said Amtrak President and CEO Joe Boardman.
"This is an example of strong cooperation between the two agencies, all with an eye toward improving the commute for tens of thousands of customers, following the devastating impact Hurricane Sandy has had on many of their lives," said James Weinstein, executive director of NJ Transit. "The repair of this important substation will allow us to operate nearly 90 percent of our rail network into New York."
Amtrak has continued to keep NJ Transit apprised of their ongoing power restoration efforts along the Northeast Corridor, allowing NJ Transit to resume service on a number of rail lines, including the Northeast Corridor service from Trenton to New York and MidTOWN Direct service from Morristown and Montclair.

Set up your remote control
Use this tool to find the codes of your devices and to get specific instructions on programming the codes into your Comcast remote.
New to the Community? Start here.
Hello Everyone,
I have found this site very useful when trying to find codes for remotes.
Blue Ridge Cable in Northeastern PA has an actual interactive channel that shows you how to program the remote for different devices. I believe it is Ch 998.
It shows a picture of a remote and you select the remote based on the picture.
Next you select what you want to program, TV, VCR, Audio, DVD.
Next you select the brand of the device.
Finally it tells you exactly what buttons to push on the remote to get it into program mode, and the available codes for that device.
Why not create an interactive help program on Comcast to do the same thing?
Thank you for this post. I went to the site and found a code for my Panasonic DVD/VCR recorder very easily. I had not been able to find the code anywhere else.
need help ASAP!!! my wife and i just bought a new flat screen tv and none of the codes in the remote booklet or the codes on the website George provided are working. the brand of TV we got is: Apex Digital and the product code is: LD3249.
if anyone out there knows what remote code works please let me know.

The code is 11958, but have not had any results with that.
I have it plugged into the optical output of the Pace 110 cable box and would just like to get the power and volume functions to work off the Comcast remote. I have unlocked the audio control but that does not seem to control the volume of the optical output. The Mute function does work to turn off the audio, but that is about it.
I am using what seems to be a UEI Delta Universal remote with a Magnavox 15MF605T/17 television.
No codes listed from Comcast or UEI's www.urcsupport.com seem to work. 10054 works partially, but mute powers the tv on/off, and volume down and up both increase the volume.
Anyone have some other codes that might work?
EDIT: Phillips code 10037 also partially worked with the same issues as 10054. I also thought the remote itself might have been defective, but an identical remote produced the same results.
The link gives a remote control code for Onkyo AV Receiver TX-SR506 as 30135. Comcast lists 30135 or 30842 as the remote codes. 30135 will turn the receiver on but not OFF, and 30842 will turn it off but not ON. Does Comcast have a fix for this with their remotes?
I have an Onkyo TX-SR507 and I am having the same problem as the person above me had. Has a fix been worked on and resolved? I have a code to turn on/off or a code to control volume BUT no code controls both the volume and the power. Please help!
The new Comcast remotes ( they have a red select button and are programmed with 5 digit codes) do not support many of the sony home entertament systems. I hAD A REMOTE WITH THE GREY SELECT KEY WHICH WORKS FINe with the sony equipment. The sony is a DAV-HDX285 dvd home audio system. with the grey remote the code is 1903. on the red key remote I have tried all the codes listed along with about 50 given me from tech support and none work. I have used the search feature with no luck. I have tried to get a grey key remote at the local Comcast office but they have none. Other than buying a logitech harmony remote does anyone have any suggestions?????
I have a Yamaha HTR-5063 Receiver which none of the codes I have found seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I finally had a tech come to the house who understood the problem - but had no solutions. He did bring me an older remote with the grey select key - so for now I am ok... My suggestion is to call comcast and have a in house tech come out with a replacement remote (with the grey key)
My biggest complaint is that COMCAST has no method to really report a technical problem and god forbid come up with a fix......
The bottom line with the Comcast remotes is they are supplied as a convience for supporting many but far from all devices, and are not intended as a full fledged universal remote especially for more complicated devices like HTIB's, AV receivers and Blu-Ray players..
If you want a full fledged universal remote look at the Logitech Harmony line of remotes. They are programmable and gets updates from the web for any new devices.
If you want a cheaper alternative try the the SONY RM-VL600 learning remote. It is $26 at Best Buy or Walmart plus others I'm sure, It has 4 programmable keys that allow you to program a sequence of events, plus 8 componet keys that will learn all of your remotes functions so you can use 1 remote to control everything. It is a little tedious to program but after you do it for a few minutes you get the hang of it and it goes fairly smoothly. My wife uses it and only rarely gets the system messed up. i use 1 key to turn on and off the entire system, 1 key sets up the DVD for use and 1 key to switch back to the TV, I have a small number of components to control though.
That is pure BS. My setup is all sony equipment. If they forgot how to support sony then what else are they incompetent in. HD??? . The real issue is they do not know how to deal with technical problems as any other company does. If I sell a TV then I support it. If I sell an operating system then I deal with the bugs and correct them. I spent 55 years in the computer business and would have failed in the first 5 if I didn't know hot to fix problems. all I was looking for was that the sound system turns on and off and I can control the volume. I agree if the user is using off the beat audio equipment but a Sony surround sound system -- get real......
excuse me ah
sorry my reply was to Jayinalg and to COMCAST not you -- again sorry
In 2007 I inherited a less than 6 month old Polaroid tv from my father. Got a dvr, hooked it up to the tv, and none of the Polaroid codes worked for the dvr remote.
After 3 years of off and on looking for a code to make the remote work with the tv, I finally found one that worked.
My mom's tv in her bedroom is the only one tv in the house which is not connected to a dvr. The digital transition is set to be complete in my area in October. In July, I had to return something to Comcast and while there I decided to go ahead and get a dta.
As I looked at the tv codes so I could program the adapter remote for her tv, I looked at the Polaroid codes.
There were more codes listed for the dta than there were for the dvr remote. The light bulb came on over my head. Why not try the DTA codes on the dvr remote?
Somewhere in those numbers was one that worked for the Polaroid tv. After 3 years, we were finally able to use the dvr remote for the tv functions. At some point along the way, the tv remote had ceased to work, so in order to turn the tv off/on we had to walk over to the tv and do it from the power button. (we bought a few remotes but couldn't find the correct codes for them)
This might be an option if none of the codes with the dvr work for you. DTA's are newer than dvr's so the codes may be more updated for DTA's.
You can find the list of DTA codes HERE Choose View Manual for Comcast Digital Adapter Remote (DTA)
'Got a Vizio E420VO with code 11758 for the Comcast remote (dark silver-grey with red select button) which works except for volume control (yet the mute button does!). As I unlock the volume with the prescribed procedure by pressing TV / Setup / enter 990 the Comcast remote blinks twice the volume can be controlled...temporarily. But upon powering down the Comcast RNG110 box, then powering up again the volume control is lost and will not control volume without repeating the procedure above. Mute will work without fail in any case, but the volume can only be controlled by the Comcast remote only after proceeding with the aforementioned "990 unlock routine" and keeping the RNG110 box powered up...'got any idea what the solution might be? This is very challenging! Thanks.
I would like to have my Toshiba remote (CT-90276) able to control my basic digital cable box (esentially just change channels). The problem is that the digital cable box is simply branded Comcast and Toshiba doesn't provide any codes for Comcast branded cable boxes. This is the new (in my area anyway) small Comcast digital cable tuner box that I am being forced to use after Comcast has removed the ability for my tv's built-in digital tuner to access their digital cable service. (Not to mention removing the free local HD channels I had been getting....ahh, sorry, had to vent about that...haha!)
Please help!
I'm having trouble finding a code for an older Panasonic TV/VCR combo set (Model PV-C2061). I've got a list of 36 different codes, but none seem to work. I tried calling Comcast support but only got the same basic list of codes and the incorrect process to try them. The method he gave me made no sense, contradicted the instructional manual, and ultimately didn't work at all. Any help would be appreciated.
Try Motorola codes for your small (DTA) box.
What remote control are you trying to use? A Comcast supplied remote? The Comcast people probably have no idea of how to program some of the non Comcast remotes.
I'm new to this Forum so I read through the 3rd Party Remote Control Codes Discussion with considerable dismay. I too have an ALL SONY setup, Bravia TV & Blu-Ray Home Theater System, a Comcast DVR Box & a Silver Controller with a Red OK Button. THe Remote Doc is from 2007 & doesn't even mention Blu-Ray, only DVD Players. THat's still the Latest Doc on the subject.
I tried out all the Codes under Sony DVDs to no success. I tried the Comcast Chat Tech Support to TOTAL FRUSTRATION. They acted like they had never heard of Blu-Ray. THen gave me the same DVD Codes as the Remote Doc.
After an hour of dancing around the Superviser said that the Blu-Ray had a new & mysterious Codeset & that the Engineers would be looking into the problem.
So, after 2 years Blu-Ray & its mysterious Codeset have just come to the attention of the Engineering Department? I see multiple requests for the Blu-Ray codes dating to 7-2009. THat's 18 months. Still no resolution? Am I in a Time Warp?
I needed some further Frustration so I went to the Sony Chat Tech Support figuring they at least would have their Heads out of their *sses. But No. They say the issue is on the Manufacturer of the Remote not them.
All I want to do is control the volumn of the Blu-Ray Home theater System & have the All On button turn on the TV, Cable Box & Blu-Ray. I will still have to use the TV Remote to switch the Input from Cable to Blu-Ray & the Blu-Ray control to run that device.
Does that sound so complicated? Comcast & Sony have had plenty of time to come up with something here. Based on the conversation on this Forum, I'm not the only one with a problem with both my Remote & Comcast.
When will 1 or both of them pull their heads out & deal with this issue?
The bottom line is these Comcast remotes are given out for convenience, and not a high end cure all for all equipment that comes out after it's design. They are simple and not upgradeable, designed mostly to turn on and off and control the volume of your TV.
Most high end AV users would use a high end programmable remote like a Logitech Harmony.
It is the same with other new equipment that uses the XMP protocol's, older remotes won't control them because the remote doesn't know about the new protocol's and / or codes.
These are not high end remotes, and not advertised as such. You get what you pay for. They are a free bonus with your digital set top box.
Sorry, not a Free Bonus, these Remotes are required for the use of the Cable which I pay dearly for. Didn't ask it to wash my Cat or lower my electric bill, just turn the Blu-Ray on along with everything else & allow me to control the volumn without requiring 2 remotes to do anything.
Commanguy, The remote I'm trying to use is the one supplied by Comcast for their new digital transport adapter that we are all required to have. There are no brand name markings on it other than "Comcast", but based on the pictures from the link listed in the first post above, it would be the Delta. I just find it frustrating because I am not trying to make it work on some new, high tech sound system or even a Blu ray or DVD player. This is just a television. I now have to pay a few extra dollars each month for the DTA because I have more than 3 TV's and the remote they provided can't be programed to work on that one TV. I've tried it on the others....it is fine. I now need to use 2 remotes everytime...one to turn it on & adjust the volume, and one to change the channels. Very frustrating.
For Tittle5845... I feel for you guy -- You will not get any answer from either comcast or sony. By the way those who feel comcast doesn't have to support sony - they actually did with the original remote.. Its actually the manufactor of the remote that is at fault... My solution originally was to go to the local comcast store and they were able to find two of the old ones. BUT tittle5845 there is another solution. On your bravia TV in the setup there should be a setting for HDMI remote or something like that. The purpose is for the tv to be able to control the audio out to the sony home theater system. What it does is that when the tv is turned on it senses the HTS and turns it on and transfers the audio to the HTS. (you need to connect the HTS and the tv via HDMI cable AND use the audio optical out cable from the tv to the input on the HTS) When you press the TV sound up or down it sends that to the HTS. Then if you have the comcast remote setup for TV sound then it does pass to the HTS... It works good.. If you want more info email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
That is the very basic of basic remotes. I looked at the manual for that on the Comcast site and in just glancing I didn't see anything for a combo tv like yours. I wonder if the remote that came with that tv would have the cabability to turn on the DTA at the very least then you could use the original remote for controlling things. I tried that out of curiousity on one of my tv remotes for the full size box just to see.
In any case I am also including a link to the Comcast DTA, it may be newer and be useful.
Well, I spent 4 hrs struggling with Comcast On-Line Chat Support on Monday & Tuesday regarding Remote Codes for Sony Blu-Ray Home Theater System BDV-E570. I was told all kinds of Junk.
I was told that the Remote Manufacturer makes up the Remote Codes & I should call Motorola & ask for the Blu-Ray Code. After I insisted that was Crazy Talk & asked for a Supervisor. I was finally told to, Just Go away, we're not going to do anything else.
I had read that the Sony RM-VL600 Remote Would control the Sony Blu-Ray, Cable & Sony TV. I located a newer Model, RM-VLZ620, at Best Buy for $25.99. It has multi device programmability, Macros to control several devices with 1 touch. When I got home I tried it out & you guessed it, Worked on Cable & TV but not on Blu-Ray.
I flipped out. I went to the Sony Site, On-Line Chat Support & got pretty much the same story.
"Something is different about the Blu-Ray, it works with the Supplied Remote & we are not responsible for making it work with any other Remote, even if it is a Sony Universal Remote & you are trying to use it with Sony Products".
Now I'm Homicidal!!! Sadly I slammed Sony on several Customer Review Sites (CNET, Sony, & New Egg). THen I went outside to cool down. While I was standing in the Cold (-5) I decided to by-pass On-Line Chat Support at Sony, bite the bullet & try Phone Tech Support. 45 minutes on Hold, listening to Ads, later I got to talk to Kenneth (probably not). Kenneth was a part of Remote Control Tech Support & apparently a 2nd Tier Support. He knew exactly what I was talking about. Ken says, The problem is with the Remote not the E570. He passed 2 little Gems to me while we were talking.
1. The BDV-E570 is not a Blu-Ray Player, it's a Blu-Ray Home Theater System. I & On-Line Chat at both Sony & Comcast, were looking in the wrong place for the Remote Code. We should have been looking in the DVD Home Theater System section of the Remote Codes. Counter Intuitive as HE77. While there are no such Code listings in the Documentation provided by Comcast, the RM-VLZ620 does have DVD HTS Codes for Sony products in its Documentation.
2. The Code that Kenneth gave me worked like Magic. Woooo Hoooo, SCORE! THat Code is 31454.
And now for the Bad News. While that Code worked fine in the RM-VLZ620, the Silver ComCast Remote (Red OK Button) would not take it. Aux Button, Setup till Aux Flashes, type in code & NO 3 Flashes. No response from E570 when I press Power or Play. I don't consider this a problem as the Sony Remote was Cheap. had Programmable features & is a considerably better Remote than the Comcast Remote.
I draw several conclusions from my On-Line Chat Support experiences with Sony & Comcast.
1. It seems that, in both cases, the Chat "Technicians" are below Entry Level & should be avoided at all costs unless you enjoy Frustration & Bold Faced incompetence. Asking for a Supervisor results in being told the same Junk as the entry level personnel feeds you. The Supervisor has no more experience that the "Technician".
2. In the case of Sony, the 2nd Tier of Tech Support doesn't share information with the 1st Tier Tech Support. THis is especially disturbing but is probably a reflection of the Out Sourcing Solution most Consumer Product Customers suffer through. THese Product Manufacturers are counting their savings in Tech Support Costs while their Customer are being abused, disappointed, frustrated & slamming their Products on Review Sites & Forums. Short Term Thinking as usual.
Comcast is suffering with the same issue on their Chat Support Site. I swear I was chatting to the same people on both sites.
So once again,
So, my next duty is to go to the Review Sites & retract my slam but restate my On-Line Chat Tech Support Rant. I hope this is helpful to the other Forum Members who have been waiting for a solution or have just given up & bought something else.
You are a genius!!!!
Thanks so much for solving this problem. I owe you!
I apologize if this is a duplicate post but I need help:
I have a Cisco branded cable box issued by Comcast and I would like to use a Vizio universal remote I just purchased. Does anyone know the code for a Cisco cable box model# RNG100 to use on a universal remote.
Well I Had The Exact Same Problem, But Your Reply Helped Me Thank You

Roy Williams won the 700th game of his career Friday night about an hour away from where he won the first 418 games of his career. If he wins No. 701 Sunday, he'll upset the fan base that revered him for 15 years.
No. 8 seed North Carolina advanced to the round of 32 in the South Regional of the NCAA Tournament with a 78-71 victory over Villanova. No. 1 seed Kansas survived an upset bid by No. 16 seed Western Kentucky to advance. That will match Williams against the Jayhawks for the third time in the NCAA Tournament.
"Number 700 means I've been coaching a long time, had really, really good players," Williams said. "The 700, that's neat. It's a lot of players at Kansas and North Carolina that have made that happen, and I realize that."
After struggling to put away the Hilltoppers, Kansas guard Elijah Johnson was asked if the Jayhawks would be ready to face the Tar Heels in what should be an emotional afternoon in the Sprint Center.
"I think, personally, it's just human nature to not be as prepared for a smaller team," he said. "A North Carolina-Kansas game, I think everybody's gonna be ready to play. There's just gonna be so much juice in the building. Roy's coming back. There's gonna be a lot of fans pumped up. And I think we'll be pumped up."
North Carolina built a 20-point lead 13 minutes into the game and made 50 percent of its shots in the first half. Villanova, though, cut 12 points off that lead and went into halftime trailing just 37-29.
The Wildcats continue the rally into the second half and forged ahead 44-42 in the first eight minutes after intermission. Villanova then let the Tar Heels build another lead.
James Michael McAdoo's jumper put the Tar Heels up 65-56 with 4:21 to play. And all that did was set up one more Villanova surge. JayVaughn Pinkston's free throws with 2:14 to play brought the Wildcats to within 62-61.
Marcus Paige answered with a stone-cold 3-pointer 12 seconds later and North Carolina remained in control for its 109th NCAA Tournament victory.
The Tar Heels have won nine of their last 11 and have been playing well since Williams switched to a smaller lineup that basically uses four perimeter players. North Carolina made 11-of-21 3-pointers against Villanova and made 49 percent of its shots.

Nebraska Bowling Celebrates National Title
Lincoln— Nebraska Head Coach Bill Straub and current bowlers Kristi Mickelson and Liz Kuhlkin addressed the media Monday following their dramatic 2013 NCAA Women's Bowling National Championship Saturday night in Canton, Mich.
Straub noted that a number of current Husker coaches, student-athletes and staff have congratulated him and the team on their performance Saturday night.
"There is no place like Nebraska; it's so special around here." Straub said, "Our players, assistant coach Paul Klempa and mysel are treated without regard with what sport we play, it's something where it is one big happy family that we are happy to be a part of."
Current NU bowlers Mickelson and Kuhlkin also met with the media at the press conference, most notably trying to hold back emotion talking about the recent national championship victory.
"It's really surreal, I have been dreaming about this my whole life." Kuhlkin said, "It feels unbelievable, all the hard work we put in—six days a week—three hours a day, it's just really surreal for all of us right now."
Mickelson agreed with what Kuhlkin had to say, adding "All year I have been dreading the end; I am not ready to leave. Nebraska is my home, I've been here for five years and I don't know what I am going to do without these girls." Mickelson said.

Two people were shot in the leg at Denver's Civic Center during Saturday's 4/20 pot rally and a third person was grazed by a bullet.
A man and a woman were both shot, said Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson. Their injuries are not life-threatening. A juvenile who was grazed by a bullet walked to a nearby hospital.
Both victims are in their 20s. They were taken to Denver Health Medical Center.
Police are looking for at least two suspects involved in the shooting. Investigators do not know what sparked the shooting.
Crowds scattered around 5 p.m. when shots were heard Saturday.
Both of the victims were shot near the outdoor Greek theater. The man remained near the theater, but the woman was able to run across West 14th Avenue and out of the park.
Denver police are asking witnesses that fled to come forward with information, Jackson said.
"Everybody fled. That's the problem," Jackson said.
Officers are looking for two men. They described the first suspect as a black man who is about 6 feet tall and weighs around 180 pounds. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, black pants and a Carolina blue baseball cap.
The second suspect was described as a black man wearing a black-and-white checkered shirt.
Denver police officers, who were at the 4/20 rally, ran toward the southeast corner of the park with their guns drawn.
Johnny Lee said he heard the shots during a concert at the rally. He was standing near the theater. He did not hear any shouting or arguments before he heard the shots.
"Everybody started to run," Lee said. "They were running over people."
Damontay Wimberly said he heard about seven shots.
"Pow-pow-pow-pow-pow, about seven times," he said.
Wimberly was in the middle of the park near the tents, and was one of thousands who sprinted in all directions.
Miguel Lopez, organizer of the rally, said about 5:20 p.m. that the event is done for the day. Events scheduled for Sunday at Civic Center have also been canceled.
Laura Forduno also heard the shots.
"It was peaceful. Everybody was having fun and then you heard the shots — pow-pow-pow-pow — and everybody started to run," Forduno said.
Forduno was knocked down but someone helped her up. As she ran out of the park she looked back toward the corner of West 14th Avenue and Bannock Street.
"There was a gentleman on the floor, lying there, and he was not moving," Forduno said. "It was chaos."
Dean Zimmerman was among those who rushed to help the man who was lying on the ground saying, "man, I'm hit, I'm hit. He was cool about it."
Zimmerman was covered in the victim's blood after the man was taken to the hospital.
"I was talking to him, telling him, you're gonna be OK, you're gonna be OK," Zimmerman said.
Travis Craig, 28, said he also rushed toward the man. Craig said he had a gunshot wound to his left thigh.
"He was bleeding pretty bad," Craig said.
Isaac Aversano said after the shots, everyone around him paused. Aversano said he saw security guards at the event run as well.

Almost as many Shelby Countians showed up at the polls to send Gov. Steve Beshear back to office as helped elect him four years ago.
More than a third of the registered voters turned out – 39 percent – falling short of Shelby County Clerk Sue Carole Perry's prediction of 50 percent but surpassing the 30 percent statewide and nearly equaling the 40 percent of Shelby Countians who voted in 2007.
"We kind of got off to a slow start, but things really picked up during the day," she said. "Whenever we would check in with our precinct officers, they would say they didn't expect to be busy, but [that] they were."
Perry reported that out of Shelby County's 26,992 registered voters, 10,384 of them hit the polls.
The trend toward a solid flow of voters began shortly after polls opened at 6 a.m.
"I was a little off [in prediction], but overall, I was pleased," she said.
Beverly Worley, a worker at precinct D105, at Shelby County Fire Station No. 1 on Alpine Drive, said at 6:15 a.m. that she had had 15 people ready to vote as soon as the door opened.
"That's typical, so we're right on schedule so far," she said.
Workers at the Simpsonville Community Center said they too had a line waiting when they arrived to open the doors.
But Susan Reynolds, a worker at D103, the Stratton Center, said just before 7 a.m. that things were a little slow there.
"We are down a little here, and I know that was expected, but I always say, if you don't vote, you lose your right to complain," she said.
One voter there, Matt Salmons, said he always votes, but even if he had been inclined to vote before, he was compelled not to miss going to the polls after hearing about a comment the Republican candidate for governor, state Sen. David Williams (R-Burkesville) had made – a comment he found highly offensive.
He was referring Williams' recent blasting of Gov. Steve Beshear for participating in a religious ceremony with a Hindu priest at the groundbreaking of a factory in Elizabethtown.
"He shot himself in the foot with that one," Salmons said.
Technical issues
Perry reported only one technical glitch on Election Day, which came early in the day at precinct F101 at Simpsonville Elementary.
"Only about a dozen people had come through when the voting machine jammed," she said. "It was human error. They [precinct workers] didn't tear the ballots off and it just jammed.
"But we got it straightened out pretty quick. But it would have been O.K. in any case, because we have two machines at every precinct."
Perry said that in years past, her office paid a tech person to be on standby in case a problem should arise, which happened rarely.
"Then, when something did happen, he would get on the phone with the company in Lexington, and they would talk him through it," she said. "So I got to thinking, I'm not going to pay somebody to do that anymore – I can do that myself."
Since then, only two technical problems have cropped up, which she handled herself.
"It was no problem," she said, "and it didn't cost the county a dime."
Fewer complaints
The day yielded less disgruntled voters than usual, Perry said, although one person in particular made up for it.
"There was a man at one of the precincts who made quite a fuss about having to show his identification," she said. "He said he has been living here for 13 years, but they [precinct workers] did not recognize him. If a precinct officer knows you personally, you do not have to show an I.D., but no one knew him, and he was really upset about that."
Another man was agitated because he thought he was registered, and was not, and still another lady had to be directed to her correct precinct, though she was not upset, Perry said.
"We usually take phone calls all day from people who want to make sure where they need to go, and we don't mind that, that's good that people do that," she said. "One of our precinct officers had a lady that was at the wrong precinct, but she kept insistently she was not.
"She said she had voted at the same place every time, but when the precinct officer checked and told her where she needed to go, she said, 'Oh, that's right! Now I remember.' But other than that, things have run pretty smooth."
Fred LeCompte, a precinct officer at E101 at West Middle School, agreed.
"Everyone has been very nice and we have not have any problems here," he said, watching as voters trickled into the school's lobby, where the two voting machines and three voting cubicles awaited voters.
"I was here last time, too, and it's been going well."

Youve probably seen the logo while browsing the aisles at your natural products store: Fair Trade Certified chocolate, coffee, tea, herbs, or maybe even wine. Fair trade is a socially responsible food movement that aims to empower farmers by offering a premium price for their harvest. Choosing Fair Trade Certified products is one way to make your dollars matter and have a positive global impact.
The Fair Trade Certified label is sponsored by Fair Trade USA, the leading third-party certifier of fair trade products in this country. According to Fair Trade USA, fair trade practices use a market-based approach that allows farmers to get a fair price for their harvest, help them create safe working conditions, and provide a decent living wage. They enliven developing countries and promote environmental sustainability. Funds are specially designated for social, economic, and environmental development projects, and each community determines how the funds are used. Farming and working families are able to eat better, keep their kids in school, improve health and housing, and invest in the future.
While Fair Trade Certified products arent necessarily organic, fair trade does encourage farmers to transition to organic agriculture by offering them a higher price for organic products. In addition to paying sometimes as much as twice the price of the conventionally grown crop (as is the case with coffee), importers who do business with Fair Trade Certified growers must also extend credit to them if needed and provide technical assistancethis support often helps the farmers make the switch to organic.However, even for nonorganic products, environmental standards are integral to fair trade. These include protecting water resources and natural vegetation areas, promoting agricultural diversification and erosion control, restricting the use of pesticides and fertilizers,banning the use of genetically modified organisms, and requiring proper management of waste,water, and energy. Receiving a fair price makes it easier for farmers to practice sustainable agriculture and protect local ecosystems.
Fair Trade USA recently created a buzz when it announced that it would make some changes in the kinds of products that get its seal of approvalspecifically coffee. While coffee from large plantations couldnt previously be designated Fair Trade Certified (fair trade coffee and cocoa traditionally come from smallscale farms organized into cooperatives), the group says that allowing coffee grown on large plantations to be designated Fair Trade Certified will benefit more farmers and workers and make it easier for large corporations to sell Fair Trade Certified products. Some critics fear that small farmers will lose market share to the big plantations. Whatever the outcome, the principles of fair trade have a positive impact on farmers and workers around the globe and provide the consumer with a better quality product. Choosing Fair Trade Certified products is one way to use your spending power to promote social responsibility and a cleaner, greener planet.

More than 150 soldiers deploy this week for a nine to 12 month tour
Dressed in combat Army green, soldiers of the 77th Engineer Company said their farewells this week and deployed to Afghanistan as a part of the deconstruction phase of Operation Enduring Freedom.
A deployment ceremony was held on Monday on post in honor of the 77th Engineer Company, 94th Engineer Battalion. The company is composed of more than 150 soldiers who are carpenters, masons, electricians, electricians and masons ranging from ages 19 to 52.
The company's mission in Afghanistan will be to deconstruct the infrastructure that U.S. troops have built throughout the war.
"This is a good day, a day where we are sending a fully prepared, fully trained company to execute the mission the army gave them," said Lt. Col. Gary Calese. "We are sending them to tear down the facilities that we started building 11 years ago."
Calese said that the arrival of this company will lift the spirit of those soldiers in Afghanistan, serving as proof that the war is winding down.
"The 77th Engineer Company will change the landscape and infrastructure in Afghanistan to prepare our departure as an Army," he said.
Yenter said that this company will be preparing the Afghan engineers to take over combat operations, as the war is expected to end in December 2014.
"This is truly a critical stage of the war," he said.
Yenter reminded the company to never leave a soldier behind and to always take care of one another.
"There will be good days and there will be bad days," Yenter said. "You've got to celebrate the good days, put them in the bank, because there will be tough days you will need to be recharged for."
The company deployed early Saturday morning from Springfield-Branson National Airport for its nine to 12 month tour in Afghanistan.

The Obama administration has opened discussions with Gary Gensler about serving a possible second term as chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, according to a person briefed on the matter.
Gensler has also discussed other economic or financial jobs in the administration, according to the person, who asked not to be named because the talks are private. Gensler hasn't been told he will be nominated for a second CFTC term or to a different job, the person said.
Gensler has led the five-member commission in its effort to write new Dodd-Frank Act rules overseeing derivatives trading by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and other companies. The law was enacted following the 2008 credit crisis as an effort to reduce risk and increase transparency in the financial system.
The White House press office declined to comment. The Wall Street Journal reported on the discussions earlier today.
Gensler, who has said he'd be willing to serve a second term, took office in May 2009 and his term officially expired in April 2012. Federal rules permit him to remain in his post until the end of 2013 without being renominated by President Barack Obama.
Gensler has been criticized on Wall Street for the scope of the CFTC's regulations and the potential they have to increase costs on banks and other users of derivatives.

Every football fan has had that feeling.
Your favorite team is behind a couple touchdowns. The clock is running out and every little point, even a field goal, matters. Your team has good field position. The kicker goes to kick and… he misses. That's when you think, "Oh, good Lord, how hard can it be?!!"
Well, it's harder than you think. Ditto for spiraling a football into the hands of a running receiver or making a call on a controversial play.
Those who doubt the skill required to play or referee the game should head over to Liberty Science Center for "Gridiron Glory: The Best of the Pro Football Hall of Fame," the latest exhibit to open at the science and technology-oriented museum in Liberty State Park.
In addition to loads of sports memorabilia, which is understandably heavy on items from the Giants and Jets, the exhibit also features a mock digital "training camp," which allows visitors to test their field goal and throwing abilities, among other skills.
'This is the largest football exhibit that has appeared in the Northeast.' – Paul Hoffman
What's on the turf
The exhibit encompasses about 7,000 square feet of space at in the museum, Hoffman said.
One interesting installation provides an overview of the history of coach-to-quarterback communication. The installation includes the type of mic'd helmets quarterbacks use today and visitors can hear actual recorded conversations between professional quarterbacks and their coaches.
Visitors can also step into a real referee's booth and watch a real play from an actual major league football game from the past. Visitors are then given an opportunity to "make the call," after which the screen then shows the call that was made by the real referees during the game.
A simulated field goal practice booth and separate target throwing area are other interesting interactive features in Gridiron Glory.
Of course, the exhibit also includes loads of jerseys and other memorabilia from such players as Giants quarterback Eli Manning, ex-Pittsburgh Steeler defensive lineman Charles Edward Greene (a.k.a. "Mean Joe Greene"), and former Baltimore Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas.
Liberty Science Center plans to periodically rotate items in and out of Gridiron Glory during its run, so the exhibit stays fresh and gives people who visit early a reason to see it again. A number of former NFL players will also visit the exhibit from time to time to attract visitors.
Capturing the crowds
In addition to being a fun exhibit for Hudson County residents, local municipalities hope Gridiron Glory will also encourage Super Bowl tourists to come across the river in February for a visit and maybe spend a few hours, and dollars, locally.
An estimated 200,000 to 400,000 people are expected to be in the New York metro area during Super Bowl week next February, but only about 82,566 of them will actually have tickets to see the game live. This means thousands on non-ticketholders will be looking for things to do during Super Bowl week.
The local business community is actively exploring ways it can leverage events and resources in the restaurant and arts/entertainment community to bring tourists to Hudson County.
"This exhibit is open through March, so it will be available to all of the throngs of fans who come into the area," said Maria L. Nieves, president and chief executive officer of the Hudson County Chamber of Commerce. "For local businesses, the opportunity to keep those visitors in Hudson County and make sure that they patronize, not only this exhibit, but also restaurants and other destinations in the area, is going to be really key. So, I'm encouraging our members to really start to think about how they want to market to those folks who are going to be in the area. For our smaller members, it's really going to be about marketing, marketing, marketing and getting in front of those people."
Hoffman said a number of businesses have already started booking events and company outings within the exhibition. "Three or four" companies have expressed a specific interest in hosting events within the exhibit during Super Bowl week, Hoffman said.
Visiting the museum
Gridiron Glory opened on Sept. 28 and will remain open through Sunday, March 2, 2014.
General admission to Liberty Science Center for kids and adults ages 13 and older is $25.75. (That admission price also includes a ticket to one Liberty Science Center film.) Children ages two through 12 get in for $19.75. Admission for seniors 65 and older is $22.75.
These admission prices give visitors access to all of the exhibits at the Science Center.
On Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Oct. 6, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch cardholders can get into the museum for free as part of the company's "Museums on Us" weekend. The free admission deal is only available for the individual cardholder and does not extend to family members or friends. Cardholders need only to show their credit or debit card to take advantage of this deal.
Liberty Science Center also offers an annual membership program for individuals, couples, and families that grant free admission to the museum for an entire year.
