So, that is what the Reg staff got up to during then 80s.
Sony is ditching the groundbreaking Walkman cassette player in its home market, 30 years after first launching its assault on the hearing of teens and the patience of the people sat next to them. The electronics giant said that demand for the serial crinkly recording format had nosedived in Japan. "There is still demand in …
I had assumed by "emerging markets" they were talking about Africa and some East Asian and Subcontinental martkets where there isn't anywhere handy to hook up an MP3 player or get downloads where there isn't even and landline phones. Cassette tape may be a horrible medium in so many ways but its cheap and pretty robust where even "indestructable" CDs will end up scratched and otherwise damaged. Remember when CDs were sold to us as being "indestructable" LOL?
I wasn't aware they were still making tape players.
I have to admit to my first walkman-esque device kicking off a lifelong aversion to walking without tunes.
I feel sorry for future generations whose music will just stop when the battery dies instead of gradually lowering in pitch until it ground to a halt.
Icon: A pint for the origin of the PMP species!
Bow Wow Wow weren't exactly brilliant but so much more interesting than some of the incredibly manufactured stuff out there at the moment even though it was yet another band put together by legendary ........ Malcolm McLaren. We all assiduously didn't lust after the "teenage sensation", Annabella. There was Claire Grogan for one....
Where's the "old and past it" icon?
They probably weren't still making them - it's just any time a company like this wants a bit of free publicity they announce that they're going to stop making such-and-such an antiquated device and the media slavishly publish their press release giving free publicity.
It's getting pretty tedious quite frankly.
Yep, and they still are making them in China. It is just Japan where they have stopped.
Infact you can still get one on Amazon:
I can't decide whether to have a pint icon for the fun times I had trying to get the stupid reverse rewind function to work or a tombstone icon in memory of the mountain of batteries I went through. Either way, I'm deeply grateful for the wonderful technology that helped me ignore a vast number of people in my angsty college years.
I'm pleased to see that it's still possible to actually buy a brand new one stateside...little miracles never cease, I guess.
It's also still quite possible to buy compact cassette tapes here as well...practically every discount, hardware and general merchandise store still sells them. (Being somewhat surprised by this, I asked around at a few stores and everyone said that cassettes still move pretty well.)
As it is (warning, obnoxious opinion coming!!!), I think the good old cassette is insufficiently appreciated--they're cheap, available in long runtime, can sound quite good, and will shrug off abuse that will send CDs and MP3 players into hiding. Recording 'em couldn't be any simpler, either...start any source playing, set the level, hit record and there you go. I'll take that over fiddling with a CD burner and authoring software any day! (Plus, the cassette deck can easily record any source hooked to my stereo, including audio from the computer!)
It was years before I actually came to have a proper Sony Walkman, but prior to that I had a Koss-branded player that was a gift from my grandmother. I put miles of tape through that thing and it never skipped a beat. Maybe I should dig it out and slap some batteries into it...?
Especially at 12:45 on Tuesday lunchtimes, when the BBC chart was announced. That ages me!
And yes, radio did promote conversation in kids. See how it is portrayed in "The Boat that Rocked" to get a feel of '60 and '70s radio culture. Because of the cost of record players and radios, music listening was a communal pastime. You would take your new LP around to a mates house to listen to, rather than giving them a copy, as happens now. A household would normally have one TV, one record player and a couple of battery powered radios at most.
The revolution started with the "Compact Cassette", which allowed you to tape your mates records, and continued through the Walkman era as cassette decks in Hi-Fis got better. In some respects, this paused a bit when CDs first came alone as they were originally a read-only medium.
I still remember the stir rare-earth magnets caused when they appeared in the headphones which were the other revolution of the time. Allowed music to actually sound passable at low voltages compared to the crap piezoelectric earphones for transistor radios or bulky and current hungry cans that were used on Hi-Fi systems.
I wouldn't trust what Dixons say they stock and don't stock. They'll be no problem getting hold of cassette tapes for years to come.
Someone told me that it was impossible to get hold of minidisks these days and within five minutes I'd found four suppliers who had huge quantities of them as well as a company who make them. Hell, you can get hold of 1/4 reel to reel tape if you know where to look.
While the Walkman may be fading out, cassettes will still be around for a while. Even the plod use them for interviews still as they are cheap and aren't easily tampered with.
I was in WHSmith the other day and near the blank DVDs they had not only cassette tapes but floppy disks, both of which I'd been led to understood they stopped stocking many years ago. Presumably the tapes were intended for audio, but I did glance around hopefully for the latest ZX Spectrum release from Code Masters.
I haven't used one for years but I'm sorry to hear its going from a nostalgia point of view, as it helped define the 1980s.
@"a tradition that has lasted longer than any of the intervening recording formats"
Accelerating technological change means we will see shorter life spans for products.
R.I.P. Walkman ... here's a pint in memory of the happy times. :)
"@"a tradition that has lasted longer than any of the intervening recording formats"
Accelerating technological change means we will see shorter life spans for products."
That's entirely beside the point. The text you quote refers to the tradition of dire warnings on loss of hearing and wandering into moving traffic. Your response makes no sense.
Does... not... com... pute....
I interpreted it as implying it lasted longer as a technology than other recording formats. (obviously not records before it but they were older still tech). Then again I could have been suffering from Monday-morning-caffeine-deprivation (a serious condition, the side effects of which last these days to at least Friday afternoon. ;)
Anyway it doesn't change the fact that during "Accelerating technological change" we will see "shorter life spans for products." which is what we are seeing (stochastically speaking depending on how big a hit the tech was to start with). So anyway, somewhere through the chaos and smoke filled room of my mind there does seem to be a meaningful signal trying to get out. :)
Coat icon, with a poor old walkman in the pocket, taking it for one last nostalgic metaphorical walk pretending its the 1980s ... now where's some coffee. :)
"I was in WHSmith the other day and near the blank DVDs they had not only cassette tapes but floppy disks, both of which I'd been led to understood they stopped stocking many years ago. Presumably the tapes were intended for audio, but I did glance around hopefully for the latest ZX Spectrum release from Code Masters."
Likewise I was in Leeds' Clas Ohlsen "usefulshopp", saw saw floppy disks, and did a double take ... although I'm fairly sure that every newspaper report I saw on "[the] death of the floppy" suggested complete unavailability but before the Chinese whispers of modern reporting started out as "another manufacturer ramps down/stops production" - including the latest.
Finally heard of someone that's been into a Clas ohlson in the UK. One of the best "handy bits" shops over here in Norway, and I used their catalogue to help me learn Norwegian when I moved . . usefull words like the names of tools ;) It's generally seen as a "refuge for men escaping the shoeshops" when out with the wife.
It was great for people who didn't fit into a predefined social group (back in the '80s, nerd wasn't a recognised option). I could easily make up my own selection of music and listen. Didn't stop me talking to anybody, more like it saved me from having to talk to people I didn't want to. :-)
Had an original Walkman, and several later incarnations. To be honest, I'm surprised tape lasted this long. I find it amusing to see the comments on battery life. Perhaps you're all thinking of those portable CD players that can run down four AAs in a couple of hours? My little MP3 player can run for some 24 hours on a single charge. The others I have can do around 6-7 hours from an AAA. Not so bad, really. And there's a serious win with MP3 in that if I really like a specific song, one button-press will play it again. Plus I can set my player to "shuffle" so it is a completely random selection each time, unlike tapes where I learned pretty quickly which song was next, and listening to specific songs involved a lot of faffing around getting the tape in the right place - which was often a delicate balance of pressing Play just enough to hear the fweefweescreee sounds of the tape at speed, but not so much that the tape got eaten.
IT angle? A decent Walkman that played the tapes at the right speed (unlike <cough> some) could be easily hooked up to a Beeb for loading software into the machine...
As long as the two channels were in phase and not skewed, and you could do without the motor control.
I had no end of trouble with stereo players and the Beeb. Ended up making a cable that would only connect the left or the right channel, but never both. Always recommended a good mono tape recorder to other people.
Beebs were remarkably tolerant of the tape speed. There was a tape deck you could buy that had an adjustable speed controller on the motor. You could speed it up by nearly 10% before you had any loading issues. Really made a difference for the longer games. Some game manufacturers advertised faster loading speeds by actually recording with a slower tape drive before duplication, so they were faster on normal players.
Ahhh. Gone are the days of *OPT 1,2 followed by *LOAD and then by swapping the tapes and a *SAVE with the correct parameters to copy tape games.
Someone has actually got a BBC micro user guide on the net at "http://central.kaserver5.org/Kasoft/Typeset/BBC/Intro.html". Bizarre, but welcome. I didn't have to risk opening my decrepit and fragile copy in order to refresh my memory of the *OPT numbers for extended info for CFS.
I remember those ghetto blasters, or "boombox". They had the size of bazookas, where "shoulder mounted", and caused just as much damage to everybody ears. They were lots of fun. And chew size D batteries too.
The de-facto rewinding mechanism for these walkmans is your standard 20c BIC ballpoint pen. Did you ever notice how the hexagonal shape of the pen matches PERFECTLY the size of center pin in the cassettes? Fit in, and give it a twirl. It would rewind in 30 seconds. Major battery-saver. Be careful when turning, otherwise the cassettes fly off and cause damage.
Methinks you just invented a new Reg style word for students lol
Also, to the Apple fanboi (can't remember your name, can't be arsed looking), you do realise Sony make mp3 players too, called Walkmans and the fact that they still make one product doesn't preclude them from making another?
Apple "stole the march" because of a marketing victory, so allow the iPod to become to mp3 players what a "Walkman" was in 80s. Still, it's still a proprietary format, so I wouldn't piss on one myself, much like the iPod.
I notice none of the articles mention that, but I guess they can't be seen to suggest that there's an alternative to the iPod. Feckin bodysnatchers.
An '80's job with Dolby and dbx in a spiffy black anodized die-cast case. Sounds fab, still -- and the magnetic media seems to have fared far better than my CD's -- a high percentage of which appear to have turned into coasters. My Technics tape deck still works fine, too. I regret having sold my Revox reel-to-reel, through. The quality of these devices easily equals that of good MP3's (though not FLAC) and far, far surpasses digital radio.
But then I still have a 1936 bakelite radio for which you can still buy valves.
Just because its old and analogue doesn't mean it shouldn't still be enjoyed be functional.

Feeling anxious is as much a part of adolescence as first dates, final exams and acne, to name just three perennial sources of teenage anxiety. In a 1999 survey of eight thousand young people, conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, two-thirds claimed they felt stressed out at least once a week; one-third reported being on edge at least once a day.
Anxiety is a normal reaction to the stresses of life. A case of the jitters isn't necessarily harmful; in fact, it can spur us to be at our best. Ordinarily, stressful situations prompt a flurry of brain and hormonal activities, in what is called the fight-or-flight response. Body systems mobilize to meet the challenge, and a person feels more alert, focused and energetic.
An anxiety disorder, by contrast, can be incapacitating. It is an illness, one that frequently runs in families. The anxiety may be overwhelming—and at times terrifying—or it may be relatively mild but incessant, often with no apparent cause. A young person has nearly a one-in-seven chance of developing an anxiety disorder, which is the most common mental health condition among all age groups.

Editor's Summary
A central goal for information architects is to understand how people use information, make choices as they navigate a website and accomplish their objectives. If the goal is learning, we often assume it relates to an end point, a question to answer, a problem to which one applies new understanding. Benjamin Blooms 1956 taxonomy of learning breaks down the cognitive process, starting from understanding needs and progressing to action and final evaluation. Carol Kuhlthaus 1991 outline of the information search process similarly starts with awareness of a need, progresses through exploring options, refining requirements and collecting solutions, and ends with decision making and action. Recognizing the stages of information browsing, learning and action can help information architects build sites that better meet searchers needs.

Enabling Action: Digging Deeper into Strategies for Learning
by Thom Haller, associate editor for information architecture
When I teach, my students have an opportunity to explore how humans use information. Lets help the humans, we cry. If we know more about how people interact with the words and images we create, the odds are better that we can develop products that people can use.
To help us understand humans, we explore how people respond visually, make connections, navigate space and act how they make choices as they work to get their jobs done.
How? we wonder, can we help people accomplish what they want to accomplish? Attend to tasks, we decide we can look for these mini-goals looking specifically at questions formed in a users mind and what we expect as a visible result, an observable end.
But what if there is no observable end? What if a humans knowledge is limited and he or she leans more toward browsing. Maybe, they would refer to their interest as learning?
Certainly, I regard myself as a fan of learning. Questions first drove me to the WorldWideWeb (no spaces in 1994). I was curious about the Māori, indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. Go to the Mosaic browser, type in Maori, out comes information. How novel. How exciting.
Students and clients often tell me they go online because they want information.
Click anywhere, there it is: information. I respond. We drown in information. But as students of information structure, we begin to dig into what wanting information means. I often explain how our reading, especially workplace reading, focuses on reading to do or reading that specifies action. I contrast this with reading to learn or reading that centers on a topic as in a classroom.
During a recent class, one of my students a department manager challenged the notion that her audiences were reading to do, telling me our audiences read to learn. Sure they want to learn, I responded. But you can find a reason for this learning they want to understand, comprehend and apply.
I referred to an organizing structure on human cognition first introduced by Benjamin Bloom in 1956. His taxonomy explored how understanding (identifying what specifics or theories the person wants to know) leads to comprehension (organizing, comparing, translating) which leads to application (solving problems based on what youve learned), analysis (breaking information into parts to enable closer examination), synthesis (assembling ideas and reshaping them to meet needs) and evaluation (developing and presenting judgments).
Did I win her over and help her begin to emphasize doing?
The manager stared at me.
I began to question or continue to question my reliance on Bloom. Yes, its a great taxonomy for helping to understand what people do with information but it may not be so useful for web development specialists crafting information to help people learn.
So I left class with my own homework assignment: learn more about phases we follow when we look at text to learn.
I found (in our information science literature) a six-stage process of information seeking, specifically directed at learning: Carol Kuhlthaus information search process. Introduced in 1991, Kuhlthau identified six stages of learning: initiation/awareness, selection, exploration, formulation, collection and action.
How can we apply these stages in architecting usable structure and content? Fortunately, my exploration directed me to Jared Pomrankys explanation on his site Net Profit Marketing (http://bit.ly/stages_learning). Pomranky states that by understanding what people are looking for at each stage of their learning process, we can design websites that [effectively] guide them. He identifies each step and applies them to our work in user experience:
- Initiation (Awareness) Users becomes aware that they need information. Generally, its assumed that visitors to your website already have this awareness, but there are circumstances in which you can generate awareness as well.
- Selection Users weigh topics against criteria such as personal interest, project requirements, available information and time predicting the outcome of possible choices and choosing a topic with the potential for success.
- Exploration Users see the available options to choose among. Quite often, especially online, analysis paralysis can set in and make learners quit at this stage because they cant decide which of the options are worth further pursuit.
- Formulation Users see theyre going to have to create further requirements before theyre able to make a final selection, and they make decisions to narrow the field. Confidence returns.
- Collection Users have clearly articulated their precise needs and are able to evaluate potential options. They gather all available solutions and begin to weigh them based on relevant criteria.
- Action Users make their final decisions and act on them based on their understanding.
So lets help the humans. Start by exploring Carol Kuhlthaus research. We have a lot to learn. At least I do.

Vibram Five Fingers KSO - Keep Stuff Out - Toe Shoes
The Vibram Five Fingers KSO (KSO stands for "Keep Stuff Out") has been one of the most popular models of Vibram Five Fingers to date (Jump to posts on the KSO below!). It's closed top design sets it apart from the open-topped Classic and the open- and strap-topped Sprint. Some might argue the KSO put "Toe shoes" on the map due to it's popularity among runners. Like all Vibram Five Fingers models, the KSO has five separated toe compartments for each toe that allow the foot to splay on contact with the ground.
The Five Fingers KSO has no arch support and a minimal amount of cushioning or padding — it is slightly thicker than the Classic and Sprint which have zero insole (the KSO has a 2mm EVA insole). Many, many minimalist runners "cut their teeth" with the KSO — running 5KS, half-marathons, full marathons, and even ultramarathons in the KSO. That said, the KSO is also a favorite for exercise, casual wear with jeans (or shorts), and also for travel.
Model specifics
Here are the technical specifications of the Vibram Five Fingers KSO straight from Vibram:
Featuring a thin, abrasion-resistant stretch nylon and breathable mesh upper that wraps your entire forefoot to "Keep Stuff Out." A single hook-and-loop closure helps secure the fit. A non-marking 3.5mm Vibram TC1 performance rubber sole is razor-siped for a sure grip, and a 2mm EVA insole enhances plating protection and comfort.
KSO IS BEST FOR: Running, Light Trekking, Climbing/Bouldering, Fitness, After Sport, Water Sports, Yoga/Pilates & Travel
The standout features of the KSO include:
- Closed top providing a fairly tight "seal" around the ankle. The KSO manages to "keep stuff out" by way of this seal leaves it looking somewhat like an ankle sock.
- The KSO has a 2mm insole, which reduces "barefoot feel" as compared to the Classic or Sprint. Many users don't notice this small amount of cushioning. Some find it more comfortable for more varied surfaces such as trails.
- The KSO is the most popular model for men!
Sizing and fit
If you've never sized your foot for Vibram Five Fingers, you need to consult the Vibram Five Fingers sizing chart (image) and measure the length of your feet as presecribed. Vibram sizing does not correspond to standard shoe sizes!
If you've sized in Vibrams before, note that KSOs size slightly larger than the same size in the Classic or Sprint models. So a 43 KSO will fit larger than a 43 Classic or 43 Sprint. For this reason, Vibram prescribes you size down in the KSO compared to the Classic or Sprint models. Generally, it is better to size up if you're in between sizes — you don't want your toes bending out of lack of room! Also, the KSO's closed-top design means that if you have particularly high arches or "high feet" the KSO may not fit properly and you might consider the Sprint or the Classic. Finally, some have anecdotally observed that black KSOs size smaller than other color combinations.
Read (and see!) more about the Five Fingers KSO via these reviews:
- The Definitive Guide to the Vibram Five Fingers KSO [birthdayshoes - guide]
- men's Vibram Five Fingers KSO review
- women's Vibram Five Fingers KSO review
Modifications and other considerations:
- Fortify your KSO hook and loop straps in style using the Marley Mission tape mod.
- Make your black KSO Five Fingers dressy by blacking them out.
- Keep your pants off the ground (the hems of your pants at the heel) when wearing KSOs using S-Biners
- Got webbed toes? Turn your Five Fingers into Four (or three or whatever) Fingers
Okay, I want some KSOs. How much are they? Where can I get them?
The KSO retails for around $85 and can often be purchased with free shipping from most online retailers. Find the Vibram Five Fingers KSO in stock via the Store or subscribe by email to inventory alerts.
Of course, there are other barefoot shoes worth checking out!

Responsible for preventive maintenance for East Carolina University's 115 buildings in Greenville, N.C., PM engineer Anthony Patrick says his employees are required to perform 30-sec (monthly) and 90-min. (yearly) tests on all emergency exit lights in buildings not connected to back-up power generators per NFPA 101, Chap. 7, Sec. 9.3. In the past, this task required pressing a manual switch located on each exit sign.
Climbing a ladder to push a button may not seem that time consuming — until you multiply this act by 50 to 100 emergency exit signs per building. But by using the new CheckMate ET1, a remote control emergency exit light tester designed by Collierville, Tenn.-based life-safety products manufacturer The Bodine Co., Patrick estimates he saves 70% to 75% in man-hours on the annual 90-min. testing alone.
"Our life-safety people love it," Patrick says. "When they get on a long hallway, they can walk down the hallway and activate all of them without having to carry a ladder."
Not having to use a ladder also prevents injuries caused by slipping off of the structure or being bumped by someone passing by, especially when testing exit signs in the middle of heavy-traffic hallways and corridors.
Designed by Bodine's R&D manager David Crenshaw in the late '90s for emergency lighting ballasts, the remote control test (RCT) technology was recently applied to emergency exit signs after Patrick expressed interest in such a product to a Bodine sales representative. Crenshaw had received a patent in March 2004 to use RCT technology on emergency exit signs, but says that the customer interest later that year was the catalyst for actually developing the product for commercial use. Released to the public on December 1, 2005, the CheckMate ET1 can activate monthly or yearly testing using a remote control (model WHRCT, sold separately) within 30 feet of the device.
"This test involves simulation of a power outage to the emergency exit sign," says Crenshaw. "The exit sign must then operate from its own internal battery during the test, which is designed to test the readiness of the battery and the lamps in case of an emergency."
The RCT feature works by replacing the manual testing switch with a relay that is controlled by a circuit mounted inside or on the unit, explains Crenshaw. The control circuitry incorporates an infrared detector and a microcontroller that is activated by the infrared hand-held remote control transmitter. A single remote can be used to test any CheckMate ET1. In order to make this technology reliable, Crenshaw had to come up with his own infrared code for transmitting and receiving to avoid noise interference. "Infrared energy is abundant anywhere you have fluorescent lighting, and it's in the form of noise," Crenshaw says. "The [infrared] code was designed to penetrate that noise so that the receiver could discriminate against all the noise and pick out this transmitter signal easily."
Although Crenshaw concedes that CheckMate is not the only way to test emergency exit lights without using a ladder, he doesn't recommend the alternative: An individual can throw the breaker for a branch circuit and then go back and look at the entire branch to see if all exit signs are lit. The problem with this method, he maintains, is that it leaves an entire area without power. "So during the day — or when there's activity going on — that's not very feasible to do," Crenshaw says. "Code regulations do not recognize or advocate this method of testing."
Alternatively, Crenshaw hopes that CheckMate ET1's ease of use will encourage more people to follow the NFPA code. "By having the remote control, we remove that inconvenience factor," Crenshaw says. "By making it convenient, hopefully it will promote the idea that this needs to be tested."
Priced around $25, CheckMate ET1 is not only simple to use — it's also easy to install and works with most existing fixtures, according to Patrick.
"It's a 3-wire hook up. You have to drill a ½-inch hole in the outside of the device — then it's just very simple wiring," he says. "It takes our people about 5 minutes to install this — that includes setting the ladder up and getting to the exit sign."

Van Halen 2012
Van Halen kicked off their 2012 tour with a two-hour blitz of classics and new songs on Saturday night (Feb. 18) in Louisville, Ky., and we've got a great set of photos for you from that night.
For the legendary group's first trek in four years, in support of their long-awaited new studio album 'A Different Kind of Truth,' David Lee Roth and the musical Van Halen family (Alex, Wolfgang and Eddie) tore through 22 songs and left the sold-out crowd completely satisfied.
We published both a full concert review and rundown of the set list from the evening already, now you can see the gigantic video screen backdrop we were talking about through these pictures. If Van Halen's coming to your town we'd strongly suggest you sell your car or cat to get into the show.

Vanguard Group, the largest U.S. mutual fund manager, reduced fees across dozens of its index-tracking stock and bond funds, following similar moves by competitors.
The fee reductions range from five-hundredths to one-hundredth of a percentage point per year. With many of the funds already charging low fees of less than 0.20 percent Of assets, some of the reductions were the equivalent of a 20 percent fee cut.
Continue Reading Below
Intense competition among managers of index mutual and exchange-traded funds has led to sharp price cutting across the industry over the past few months. BlackRock , the largest ETF manager, and brokerage firm Charles Schwab both announced price cuts earlier this year.
At Vanguard's line of broad equity sector funds, such as the firm's Consumer Discretionary ETF and Health Care ETF , fees declined to 0.14 percent from 0.19 percent. Vanguard, based in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, posted a full list of the fee cuts at http://link.reuters.com/cut84t.
Vanguard raised fees slightly on three actively managed equity mutual funds, including on both share classes of the $17.6 billion Vanguard International Growth Fund. Fees on the "Investor" share class rose to 0.49 percentage point from 0.47 while fees on the fund's "Admiral" class rose to 0.36 point from 0.34.

Preparing the Pecan Crust:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Finely grind pecans in a food processor. Add flour and salt. Mix well. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and cut in butter, working butter into flour with 2 knives until dough is in crumbs the size of small peas. Add ice water and evenly incorporate into the mixture, which should remain fairly crumbly. Roll out dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Press dough into a lightly greased 9-inch tart pan, starting with the sides and then the bottom. Bake crust for 20 minutes, or until golden.
Preparing the Filling:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a skillet, saute onion in butter until translucent. Add crabmeat and cook just until heated through, then remove from heat. Blend cream cheese until smooth in a mixer fitted with a paddle, or by hand using a wooden spoon. Add Creole cream cheese and mix well. Mix in eggs 1 at a time. Gently fold in the crabmeat mixture. Stir in hot sauce and season, to taste, with salt and white pepper. Spoon filling into prepared crust. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
Preparing the Meuniere Sauce and Garnish:
Combine lemon, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a heavy saucepot. Reduce over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk until mixture becomes thick and syrupy. Whisk in heavy whipping cream. Reduce heat to low and slowly blend in butter, 1 cube at a time, adding additional butter only after each cube has been completely incorporated into the sauce. This process is called "mounting the butter." Remove from heat and continue to stir. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Strain through a fine strainer and keep warm.
Saute mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter until tender and all moisture has cooked off. Excess water from the mushrooms may break your sauce if it isn't cooked off. Stir mushrooms into Meuniere sauce. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan and warm crab fingers over low heat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To serve:
Slice cheesecake and top each piece with warm Meuniere sauce and 3 crab claws.
Dough can be made ahead of time. If doing so, wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Allow dough to come to room temperature before rolling out.

Just an update, in case it helps anyone.
2008 and 2009 have essentially been about identity crisis>delusion & confusion>healing.I have also come to realize that based on the evolutionary stages (link below) that I have crossed substage 2 of the individuated state.
I am now free of all ego-centric desires, do not feel a need to attain anything for personal glory, do not feel a need to rebel, have no fear of connecting back with people and society and as of now I am centered internally and experiencing real peace, absolutely nothing disturbs me anymore like everything just passes by or put more in a wordly way "in from one ear and out of the other". Everything written in the individuated state by Jeff describes my life so far with complete precision. And, I am very glad that I came across this material. Substage 3 of individual contribution to society is now to begin. It's quite likely that things start rolling in the creative direction once Uranus enters aries and trines my sun sign.
Another interesting thing that I came across were the sabian symbols from
I tried to gain a little deeper understanding of them by comparing my own past. And, here's what I discovered and it's kind of strange as well.
Moon's actual degree Sabian symbols in YYYY year solar return chart shows what happens "till that date in the year"..
Please do remember I am taking the actual degree of the Moon... say 8.30 would be 8 in my consideration and not 9 as traditionally used to interpret sabians. I have not thoroughly gone in depth but I do believe that the actual degree is the "outcome" and the next degree is the "quest of the soul that needs to be achieved or after which an outcome will happen". For example, my Sun is 13.xx in Sag. 14 degree is about Phoenix rising and 13 degree is "wistful young woman surprised into a warm relationship that she has felt alien to"..Now Pluto transited my sun 96-08..I am undergoing rebirth at this time..the Phoenix rising will happen...though lately since Pluto has freed my sun..I am more able to connect and experience warmth in one on one relationships..this was more pronounced before pluto going retrograde this year..but I can clearly see that this is the way it will be forward..and supports "connecting back to society" of the evolution.
Here's the retrospective analysis:
2005:Cap 30
old: In the mahogany-paneled and magnificently furnished directors room a secret business conference has begun.
new: DIRECTORS OF A LARGE FIRM MEET IN SECRET CONFERENCE.
Interpretation: Business work, meetings with leadership, hush hush
What happened in my life?: I joined a large firm in Sep 2005. Before that, within the year, I had meetings with directors (CEO) of company in japan as negotiated 1 OEM agreement.
2006:Gem 18
old: Standing apart from the passing stream of well-dressed shoppers, two Chinamen in San Francisco are talking Chinese.
new: TWO CHINESE MEN TALKING CHINESE IN A WESTERN CROWD.
Interpretation: Alienation due to unusual communication, understanding of a different type of information not of common culture
What happened in my life?: Different attitude and way of expressing myself landed me in trouble with authority figures at my present large firm. Start of the study of astrology explains the second part.
2007:Lib 29
old:It's a seer's dream; vast masses of humanity push forward in frantic effort to cross the black chasm of knowledge.
new:MANKIND'S VAST ENDURING EFFORT FOR KNOWLEDGE TRANSFERABLE FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
Interpretation: Enduring pursuit of knowledge
What happened in my life?: Intense study of astrology the entire year! Seriously felt like going down and down into a spiral of knowledge. Enduring is an understatement!
2008:Pis 02
old: Almost as if possessed with man's intelligence a tiny squirrel remains watchful on a limb hidden from the hunter's .
new: A SQUIRREL HIDING FROM HUNTERS.
Interpretation: Withdrawal, Observation, Reflection
What happened in my life?: Yup, bang on! Complete inner withdrawal to understand whatever I had been through till then.
2009:Can 22
old: A young woman, neatly attired in outing clothes, eyes softened by dreaming, awaits a sailboat headed toward her.
new: A YOUNG WOMAN AWAITING A SAILBOAT.
Interpretation: Waiting for opportunity, clarity, breakthrough
What happened in my life?: That's 2009 precisely. I have been waiting..waiting..waiting and waiting.
2010:Sag 9
old:A mother is leading her children up a broad flight of steps. they enjoy the task of lifting little feet.
new:A MOTHER LEADS HER SMALL CHILD STEP BY STEP UP THE STAIRS.
Interpretation: Forward movement, Guidance
What happened in my life?: Let's hope so....Will keep you posted I guess.
Now, the reason I called this insight a little strange is that - YYYY solar return charts..say Dec 5, 2005...are essentially about the year forward from that date (Dec5,2005-Dec5,2006). How come a Moon's sabian symbol completely describes with such accuracy something which is part of the preceeding year. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Welcome To Cala Santandria | Home

Despite what many people may think, fiestas on Menorca are not held purely for the benefit of tourists, and the origins of many can be traced way back to the 14th Century. To the local residents, the word "fiesta" automatically conjures up images of horses and their riders, dressed in mainly black and white and decorated with ribbons, embroidery and multi-coloured carnations, also the consumption of "Pomada", the local fiesta drink, which is a combination of gin and lemon, and finally "Coca amb Xocolati", which is a traditionally baked cake with a sweet chocolate drink to accompany it. A typical fiesta begins on the afternoon before the Saint's day with the horses and their riders meeting and parading through the streets before congregating at the church for Mass. In the evening there is often live music and traditional folk dancing, and then a magnificent firework display ends the celebrations at around midnight.
Although all fiestas on Menorca are something special, and are regarded by the local residents as a being
a public holiday with only the bars and restaurants remaining open, the annual Fiesta of Sant Joan which is
held in nearby Ciutadella on 23rd - 24th of June each year, is widely recognised as being the most spectacular
on the island.
The fiesta always starts on the Sunday prior to the 24th June, and this is known as the "Día des Be".
On this day every year a countryman, dressed in lambskin similar to those worn by Saint John the Baptist,
walks barefoot through the old streets of Ciutadella accompanied by the "caixers" (riders), who are also on
foot, inviting everyone to the fiesta that is approaching.
On the 23rd of June at precisely 2pm, the fiesta starts at the palace of the "Caixer Senyor", with the
playing of a flute known as the "flabiol".
This is a simple flute made out of cane which, together with a small drum, permanently marks time for the
duration of the celebration. The main events and the times of the fiesta are then:
23rd June:
Palace of the "Caixer Senyor"
Plaça des Born, where horses and riders demonstrate their skills and elegance to the rhythm of the "jaleo", which is the typical music of the fiesta. During the "jaleo" the horses are encouraged to rear up onto their back legs whilst the local people (only the brave or very stupid ones!) try to support the horse, and keep it up for as long as possible.
The rural chapel of Sant Joan de Missa, which is 3km from the centre of Ciutadella.
The Calle de Ses Voltes, Plaza de la Catedral.
The narrow streets between Ses Voltes and the museum of the Bastió de Sa Font and Santa Clara.
24th June:
The trials for the Medieval games are held in the Plaça de Sant Joan in the port of Ciutadella.
The "convidada" takes place. This is when the "noble rider" invites the town hall officials to view the games that take place an hour later. These "games" are the most spectacular and dangerous of the fiesta and only the most experienced riders are allowed to take part. They consist of three trials of equestrian skills. The first is the "Ensortilla", which is a test of equilibrium and aim, the second is the "rompre ses carotes", which is a jousting test between two riders, and finally the most dangerous test in which two horses set off on a gallop together, with their riders arm in arm.
The Fiesta of Sant Joan is not the only event in the Ciutadella cultural calendar. The first event of the year is the Fiesta of Sant Antoni which takes place on January 17th each year, when few, if any tourists are on the island. The origins of this fiesta can be traced back to 1561, and is a three way celebration of Sant Antoni, the Processó dels Tres Tocs, which translates into English as the Procession of the Three Knocks, which commemorates the Christian conquest of Menorca by Alfonso III of Aragon in 1287, and finally the annual Ciutadella agricultural and craft fair. The Processó dels Tres Tocs always begins with Mass which is held in the Catedral Basílica of Ciutadella, where the story of the conquest is included as part of the sermon. After Mass, the procession leaves the Cathedral led by three members of the municipal council riding horses and dressed in tails, waistcoats, white breeches, riding boots and wearing a "bicornio" which is a two-cornered hat. The procession makes its way through the town to where the gate in the old walls used to be, where the the most senior rider dismounts and gives three knocks with a flag pole at the place where the gate was located. On the same day the annual Ciutadella agricultural and craft fair is also held. This is widely recognised as being one of Menorcas most important agricultural fairs, although over the years it has also developed a more commercial theme. Nevertheless, there's still always exhibitions of local produce and handicrafts, along with displays of industrial and agricultural machinery.
Every year on the Thursday following Ash Wednesday, which by tradition is always 46 days before Easter, through to the following Tuesday, most of the larger towns on Menorca celebrate their annual Carnival. As with a fiesta, there's always a parade of floats through the town along with a varied selection of sporting and musical events to get the community involved in.
Possibly the most bizarre tradition that takes place each year in Ciutadella is the annual "Matances de Bujots", or "Death of the Bujot". The event always begins at noon following the Easter Sunday Mass, where a number of straw figures (the bujots) representing both politicians and other contemporary figures of ridicule, are shot with hunting rifles until the effigy falls to the ground in flames, to the obvious delight of the crowds. For safety reason, the cartridges fired are specially manufactured for the event, and are blanks which have a small amount of gunpowder and a plug. The whole event usually lasts for no more than 10 minutes or so, during which around 300 shots are fired at each bujot.
If ever proof was needed that the Menorcan people can celebrate even the most tragic part of their history, then look no further than the annual Fiesta commemorating Any de sa Desgràcia, which translates into English as either "Our Year of Misfortune" or "Our Year of Disgrace". The fiesta is commemorated on July 9, when in 1558 Ciutadella underwent brutal destruction which was led by Turkish troops backed by France and the Vatican.
If all of this culture and tradition is becoming too much for you, on the somewhat lighter side
you may wish to consider a visit to the "Aqua Rock" water park at nearby Cala'n Bosch. Admission is a bit
pricey at 20€ per adult and 11€ for a child for a full day. One thing to look out for though, is they also
charge an extra 3€ per sunbed once you are inside.
Contact details are:
AquaRock Menorca

Ciutadella de Menorca

A little to the north of Cala Santandria, on the road running west from Ciutadella to Cala'n Forcat/Los Delfines,
is the only other water park on the island. But don't expect to find anything that compares to either the
Octopus Park
in Tenerife or either of the
in Mallorca, it's not that big and really wouldn't be of
much interest to older children. However, the park is extremely clean, and the restaurant is good value.
Admission is 8€ for children and 12.5€ for adults and children over 11. It opens at 10:30am each day and closes at
around 6pm. For more information their contact details are:

Both Deadline.com and the Huffington Post, citing unnamed sources, are reporting that iconic TV journalist Barbara Walters, 83, will soon announce that she will retire in May 2014. If those reports turn out to be right, it'll be the conclusion of a career that spanned more than half a century, during which Walters rose from the lowly post of "Today Girl" on NBC's Today show to being the first woman co-anchor of a network news broadcast at ABC News in 1976, and a star of the ABC news magazine 20/20. In recent years, she's been one of the panelists on ABC's daytime talk show The View.
Related: Working women owe Barbara Walters sincere thanks
The feisty, unflappable Walters helped establish women in network TV news as equals to their male counterparts, and paved the way for the likes of Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, Andrea Mitchell and Christiane Amanpour. But she's best known for her provocative interviews with some of the world's most important and famous figures, ranging from presidents and prime ministers to Hollywood stars. Here are five of her most spectacular tíªte-í -tíªtes:
- Fidel Castro. For a 1977 ABC News special, Walters spent two days interviewing the Cuban leader, and produced what may be the most evenhanded, nuanced portrait of him. But Walters made headlines by confronting Castro about the lack of freedom under his regime, saying to him bluntly, "You allow no dissent." She again interviewed Castro in 2002, in the segment shown here.
- Monica Lewinsky. Walters' 1999 interview with the former mistress of President Bill Clinton, whose dalliance led to his impeachment and nearly brought down his presidency, attracted an astonishing 74 million viewers.
- Michael Jackson. Walters talked to the enigmatic, deeply troubled prince of pop in 1999, asking him how he felt when the tabloids called him "Wacko Jacko." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sOj7NWP35Q
- Patrick Swayze. Walters interviewed the actor in 2009, during his ultimately fatal struggle with pancreatic cancer. "It's amazing what courage love can breed in other people," Swayze told her.
- Katharine Hepburn. Walters' 1981 interview with the actress was lampooned by some because of her odd question: "What kind of a tree are you? If you think you are a tree." Hepburn's witty reposte: "I hope I'm not an elm, with Dutch elm disease." Walters, a surprisingly good sport, subsequently featured the moment in a special titled "30 mistakes in 30 years."

About 70 percent of Pennsylvania school districts plan to raise property taxes
About 70 percent of Pennsylvania school districts plan to raise property taxes in the 2015-2016 school year, according to a recent survey.
Conducted by the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials and the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators, the survey found 2015-16 will mark the sixth consecutive year in which at least 60 percent of districts statewide have had to raise additional local revenue in order to meet educational needs.
One of the largest drivers is increased pension costs. According to the survey, which included responses from 346 of the state's 500 districts, 99 percent of districts project an increase in pension costs for the upcoming school year. read more
Having witnessed the decline in the education produce by school systems after having more and more money thrown at them I would say that any proposal to throw even more money at education is absolutely stupid. If you track the money spent on public education it closely matches two things, the size of the federal education agency and the power of related unions, neither of which does anything for a solid education for the children.
They need to fund their pensions, at this point by robbing many landowners in their districts of any chance of secure retirement.
Makita (06-26-2015)
Take away any tax credits for children and give them to those that don't have children. That would be fair. I don't mind paying some for public education but I do mind when those being educated come from families paying less.
Paying more taxes to fund lavish pensions is bullshit.....
And how will those districts spend their ill gotten gains? Like they always do, fast, wasteful and without supervision or safeguards.
If you could reason with Liberals there wouldn't be any.

text: Thursday, June 23, 2011 Rehab Services Should be a 'Priority,' Say Speakers at Capitol Hill Briefing Today in the US Capitol, APTA sponsored a congressional briefing on "The Importance of Rehabilitation in America's Healthcare System," highlighting for policymakers the value of rehabilitation services and devices for people who sustain injuries, or have disabilities or chronic conditions. The briefing was hosted by Reps Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R–WA) and Jim Langevin (D-RI), co-chairs of the House Bipartisan Disabilities Caucus. Gerard Francisco, MD, chief medical officer at TIRR Memorial Hermann Hospital and attending rehabilitation physician for Rep Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), spoke on the value of rehabilitation services and therapies. Paul Tobin, president and CEO of the United Spinal Association, addressed the unique rehabilitation and assistive technology needs of veterans and other populations. Jeanne Wilcox, PhD, professor of Speech and Hearing Science at Arizona State University (ASU) discussed the importance of habilitation services for children with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Wilcox also is director and founder of ASU's Infant Child Research Programs. APTA provided materials to participants regarding the repeal of the therapy cap as part of its efforts to educate congressional staff and members about the need to address the issue in a timely fashion. APTA is a member organization of the Independence Through Enhancement of Medicare and Medicaid (ITEM) Coalition, the Consortium for Citizens With Disabilities Health Task Force, and the Coalition to Preserve Rehabilitation, which collaborated with the House Bipartisan Disabilities Caucus on the event. Paul Tobin sustained a spinal cord injury in August 1993 while body surfing. Jeanne Wilcox, PhD, provided examples of advances in rehabilitation technology. Rehabilitation is "longitudinal," said Gerard Francisco, MD. Comments PT is a very valuable entity for people recovering from disabling conditions and necessary efforts would be appreciated to improve access and care for return to function and community. We get a full scope of all the details in people's lives to assist them and their families to continue living an altered but functional life with hope for the future.It's very rewarding. Posted by sherry bales on 6/24/2011 6:56 PM GReat post! Not to say about my native country,RUSSIA. I am a neuro-rehab specialist. "PT is a very valuable entity". Posted by yury moostafaev on 6/25/2011 7:48 AM This is obviously a step in the right direction. I appreciate the efforts that the APTA is making to bring rehabilitation and PT into the national consciousness and the political conversation. As our role is so wide-ranging in the scope of health care, we need to continue to broaden the conversation on the national political level, the local level and the personal level. So few people understand the knowledge and value of the average PT. More importantly, the role of physical therapists in the overall health of our population is underutilized and undervalued. PTs bring so much to the table, but we are minimized due to our lack of presence, limited funding, and minimal (but growing) political and marketing power. Efforts like the one depicted above are small steps that eventually can lead to great strides. This article written by Dan and Chip Heath for Fast Company illustrates how persistence was so effective for Project ASSIST, an antismoking initiative - http://goo.gl/82r39 As long as leadership in the PT community 1. Recognizes what we bring to the table 2. Has a long-term view of PT becoming a dominant player in US healthcare 3. Gritty, persistent leadership, then I am very hopeful about the future of our profession. I'll continue to do my part on the local and personal level and I am willing and able to participate in any campaigns that meet the requirements I've specified above. I encourage anyone else who is passionate about helping people as a PT to do the same. Posted by Daniel Seidler on 6/27/2011 11:29 AM

About the Author: Paul Herman is Chief of American Citizen Services at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India."Nail-biting!" "Gut-dropping!" "Hair-raising!" Those are just some of the words used to describe the descent into Bhutan's only international airport, which involves weaving in and out of narrow Himalayan valleys before touching down -- slightly -- on a tarmac that's still at 7,300 feet. After having taken the ride myself, I can confirm: those are understatements!
My journey was just one of a handful that consular officers from the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi have embarked on over the past year or so in an ongoing effort to strengthen ties with Bhutan's government on consular issues. Bhutan and the United States do not have formal relations. Informal contact is maintained through the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, which covers citizen services from replacing lost or stolen passports to communicating with local police in the event of an arrest, assistance with medical care, possible evacuation in the event of injuries, and even the repatriation of remains. Developing these long-distance relationships with the Bhutanese government is therefore key if we are to provide effective assistance to Americans.
These efforts have become all the more important after Bhutan announced plans to boost its annual tourist numbers from around 30,000 annually to 100,000. If trends hold, this could mean 20,000-25,000 American tourists visiting Bhutan every year. Americans make up the largest number of tourists in Bhutan. Last year 4,786 (20 percent of all tourists) visited, down from 6,941 the year before. According to Bhutan's Tourism Council, Americans spend more time in Bhutan -- and, consequently, more money -- than tourists from any other country.
In meetings with contacts in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Immigration Department, Bhutan's Tourism Council, and the country's Attorney General, we discussed ways the two governments could work together to ensure Americans traveling in Bhutan would have safe, enjoyable trips and access to consular services should they be needed. All the officials were exceedingly gracious and eager to assist. In fact, as a sign of the growing cooperation that these trips have engendered, Bhutanese officials will observe a Mission-wide crisis management exercise later this month.
Finally, I met with members of the small but tight-knit American community in Bhutan, learned a little about life in the land of "Gross National Happiness," where wealth is not measured in monetary terms alone, and delivered long-awaited consular services to citizens who otherwise would have to travel to U.S. embassies in New Delhi or Bangkok. Gut-dropping stuff? Not so much. But protecting the lives and interests of American citizens abroad, providing them with essential services, and helping them engage the world are among the highest priorities of our State Department, even in far away places like Bhutan. And that is not at all an understatement!
For more information about consular services, please visit travel.state.gov.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A massive wildfire burned 150 dunams (45 acres) of the lush forests that border the western side of Jerusalem on Sunday.
At the height of the fire, flames were encroaching on the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum and several western Jerusalem neighborhoods.
Yad Vashem was evacuated, as were homes along streets nearest the forest, though firefighters managed to prevent the blaze from causing any damage.
Eight people - five firefighters and three Yad Vashem employees - suffered from smoke inhalation. They were the only injuries.
By 8 PM local time, the fire was under control and was no longer a threat to the city.
It was later revealed that the fire started simultaneously in five different locations, strongly suggesting that it was a coordinated act of arson.
Israel has been on high alert this summer for forest fires after last year's devastating conflagration in the Carmel Forest in northern Israel.

UC Irvine 65, Sam Houston State 63 (OT)
HUNTSVILLE, Tex. — Junior Chris McNealy scored a team-high 16 points to go with seven assists for the Anteaters (3-3) in the Progressive Legends Classic Subregional game at Sam Houston State Wednesday night.
McNealy earned all-tournament team honors. He scored all five Anteater points in the extra session and his three-point play with 1:20 left gave UCI a 63-61 lead.
Darius Gatson's basket with 13 seconds left in overtime and a free throw by him with 6.3 seconds remaining lifted Sam Houston State to the win. UCI freshman Alex Young's three-point attempt from the left side as the clock wound down fell short.
Senior Adam Folker had 13 rebounds along with seven points for the Anteaters, and sophomore Will Davis tied his career high with 12 boards and had six points and four blocked shots.
UCI, which battled back from a 15-4 deficit nine minutes into the game, hit just 11 of 25 free throws in the game, including 8 of 19 in the second half.
Sam Houston State is 3-3.
UCI travels to Malibu to face Pepperdine Saturday night at 7.
Vanguard 77, Central Methodist 62
FULLERTON — Preston Wynne scored a game-high 32 points, as the Lions wrapped up play in the Hope Classic at Hope International University Wednesday.

Criminal Addendum Proofread Please
October 28, 2012, 10:29:56 AM »
Hey guys, I just really quick typed this up and I need some feedback relatively soon. October LSAT scores should come out tomorrow and I need to get my applications in. This is my real rough criminal addendum. From what I gather on other forums it should be concise and neat, not too much detail. It sucks how both of my tickets were kind of BS, but hey what can you do. Advice greatly appreciated!
""On May 30, 2009, I was cited with two misdemeanor charges in XXX: Operating a vehicle as a minor with a BAC below .08, and an open container in the vehicle. After consuming two beers at a neighbor's home I was asked to drive a friend back home, just down the road. As I pulled into the guest's driveway an officer pulled in behind me, he told me the windows on my car were illegally tinted and the light above my license plate was burnt out. He said the car smelled of alcohol and had me performed field sobriety tests and ultimately submitted me to a PVT. I had consumed two beers, and accordingly blew a .03. As a minor, I was allowed no alcohol in my system-I was arrested. The officer then found two beer bottles in the car with some remains-the passenger and I were both ticketed for those. The open container charge was dropped and I plead guilty to operating with a BAC below .08 as a minor. My license was restricted for 30 days and I paid my fines.
On October 10, 2010, I was issued a ticket for minor in possession of alcohol. I was in a car with my roommates and our sober driver on our way back to our apartment. The driver allegedly rolled through a stop sign. We were pulled over and all given PVTs and the vehicle was searched. There was no alcohol in the car and the driver was sober, yet, I had consumed several beers so was issued the ticket. I eventually plead guilty and paid the fines associated with the ticket.
The charge of operating a vehicle with and BAC was a very immature crime to commit, and I have moved past it. Since the incident I have been a sober driver, and have urged the same off all my friends. I go out of my way to make sure those I am around do not drink and drive. When I was cited with an MIP, I was the student who organized our sober driver. However, even though our driver was sober I still committed a crime. It has been several years since these incidents, I am certain this will not happen again. ""
Help me out please

Just a few words would help me so much

Those seem pretty good not to much to worry about I have known people with DUI's and MIP's that passed their state's moral character application. As long as you disclose what happened you will probably be ok I would recommend contacting the state bar you plan on practicing in and running your addendums by them.
This is a serious question and anonymous internet posters can't really tell you what will work. Only thing is DO NOT FAIL to disclose this info it sounds you did some stupid stuff in college, but so has just about everyone else. If you disclose it, admit fault, and acknowledge you learned from it shouldn't be a problem. Three people I went to law school with had DUI's and all passed their moral character application for the state bar, but they disclosed it.
That is all you can really do in reality schools are much more concerned about your numbers than these factors, but a state bar will investigate your application and if you hide this fact and a background investigator you may be prevented from getting a law license.
Hope that helps good luck.

Thank you so much, that provides so reassurance. All the information is out there, and I'll be attaching copies of the charges too. I feel like both those instances are unfortunate. I realize I was only 18 but blowing a .03 the officer could have given some leeway, and having a sober driver to take us home in college seems responsible to me. Obviously I won't mention that in the addendum though.
I was also looking for some insight to the actual writing of it. Do you see any grammatical errors? Should I remove any parts, elaborate, etc. ?Obviously I want it to be short so the adcomm can look at it and move past it.
Thanks Again!!

No problem I am not adcom committee, but I really liked the last paragraph. Just come across as you learned your lesson and it was stupid. Even though realistically having a .03 when your 20 isn't a huge deal at least to me just say you were wrong and you learned from it like you did in your closing paragraph.
I don't think it will have to much of an impact, but I have never worked in a law school admissions office and can't say. Sounds like your doing the right thing disclose and apologize then you should be fine. Good luck on your applications.
If you have any other questions about law school feel free to post again.

As I finished my last 300 of the workout, I immediately dropped to the ground and sprawled out on my back. You could have outlined me in white chalk right then and there because I had the silhouette spot on. Anyone who knows me or has ever practiced with me knows I'm an on the ground kind of person. Always. Some people say you shouldn't do this. Why? Well for starters because it's hard to recover like this. You need to keep moving and keep the blood from pooling and letting the lactic acid build up...yadda, yadda, yadda. But it's also because it might make you look weak and like you're broke down. Well guess what?! I'M BROKE!!! I happen to not care if every single competitor I'll ever race this season sees me in the fetal position after a hard workout, whimpering to myself and crying out to Jesus. I'm a beast when it comes to competition, but practice--I'm more like a cub. So be it.
So as usual, Coach comes over in his entirely too chipper voice and tells me to get up. I usually ignore the first two or three times because it's possible that I've also developed a bit of deafness during this ass-kicking of a workout. I groan and grunt a couple of times, then I open my mouth to actually protest and tell him that I actually can't move just yet because it's just not physically possible. Let me be! He then proceeds to ask me what I plan on doing after the Olympic Finals when they come to interview me after my race. My response: "They can come down to me."
