When the Washington Post revealed recently Mitt Romney's past as a cruel boarding-school tyrant, conservatives cried foul. Where were the stories about Barack Obama's days as the entitled son of a governor? What was the media hiding?
Finally, David Maraniss, in his upcoming Obama biography, Barack Obama: The Story, has found the dark truth of Obama's past. It turns out that Obama was a bully as well someone who threw his weight around and terrorized even those closest to him.
Barry also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted "Intercepted!," and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind.
Did they not mind because they had all smoked themselves into a blissful stupor, or did they not mind because they were terrified of Barry?
The truth is bound to come out - and it won't be pretty.
LOL! Obama lost the War on Religion, the War on Women, the War on Dogs, and now he's losing the War on Bullying!
So he was always a good at stealing?
"Being a drug user works fine ... until you run out of other people's marijuana." — not Margaret Thatcher
among the detestables, stoners are in the top 5 in my book.
Using the term "bully" with this linguini spined, spaghetti arms, pathetic excuse for a human being is an insult to bullies.
Barack Obama IS a Stoner Bully
There are alot of Freepers who enjoy a puff on occasion, so to broadly say that is wrong. IMO!
I think obama's a kenyan. I think he's a muslim. I think he's a queer. I think he's a double digit IQ horse's arse. But there's no way that the magic negro fairy is or ever was a bully. He's a pothead version of Urkel.
Oh a bogart eh?
I bet he also seldom or never brought any of his own to the party either.
Best way to handle them is just don't pass it to 'em and let them figure out why.
How Obama Lost The War On Dogs
Zero was a stoner and a back stabbing, lying and two faced hypocrite. Bully? No, grabbing a number out of line is just being an arsehole. Don't doubt that plenty of people from those days would say that if they thought it was safe to do so.
"There are alot of Freepers who enjoy a puff on occasion, so to broadly say that is wrong. IMO!"
Thanks for making that pjoint
That pu$$y was never a bully.....a bogart yes.....bully, I think not....most likely bottomed for weed.
Listening to him try to answer questions without a teleprompter supports your suspicion.
i reiterate.
"When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted "Intercepted!," and took an extra hit."
Yeesh, even way back then he was redistributing other people's wealth! :-)
True that. it sounds like Vapor Lock.
Reminds one of that ancient Cheech and Chong routine: "uhmmm, ahhh..a lot of people say pot makes you lose your memory...ummm, ahhh..."
Don't need to be strong, if you're psychopathic, to be a bully.
I learned the best strategy to keep the drug people from pestering you as they kept insisting on passing you the joint with their pleadings for you to smoke, was to quit arguing and just eat the joint, pretty soon they learned to leave you out of their need to spread drug usage.
Now that is reverse peer pressure if I've ever heard of it.
Trouble is, the really good stuff is smoked out of a pipe, don't want to foul the flavor with nasty paper, so that makes it a bit harder to chow down on it.
This looks like the POTUS is on drugs.
Any questions?
I remember when it was all joints, pipes were only for hash and Opium, needles for speed, and Black Mollies were the real deal, and you could still get LSD-25 and Orange Sunshine.
I even remember $2.00 match boxes, and the couple of short lived times that the seemingly eternal $10.00 per ounce price dropped to $6.00 per ounce.
And joints made of a full newspaper sheet, roughly 26" long, and 2" in diameter, for concerts, I never ate one of those.
Those were made from the rough stuff leftovers from pounds.
Who knew? The Truth Fairy was Humphrey Bogart.
That's even worse than bogarting.
"Hes a pothead version of Urkel."
Nope, definitely not, the trite words so often heard during the blue dress saga apply here, he "doesn't rise to that level". You have insulted the late, great character Steve Urkel.

Written by Daniel Hazard
A lot of people think that all Ann Hanson does is talk about sex.Written by Daniel Hazard
"But they do not understand that sexuality involves relationships, power and the misuse of sexuality to rape, to demean, to bully," said Hanson, UCC minister for sexuality education and justice. "The sexuality thing is about so much more than how to reproduce."
Hanson spoke just days after returning from New York City, where she spent a late winter's day as one of 16 judges - film directors, educators, youth, young adults and media professionals - to engage in a conversation about gender and complete one mission: select from a field of 10 the top two student-authored scripts spawned by the question, "What's the REAL DEAL about Gender, Power and Relationships?"
Thousands of students grades 6 through 12 from two programs, in Cleveland and New York City, submitted manuscripts for plays spanning a broad range of topics. Among them were family violence, love relationships, generational differences, male-on-male rape, incarceration, bullying, dysfunctional relationships, unequal sharing of power in relationships, teen pregnancy, homophobia, and overeating.
"There was a variety of age, culture and experience on the selection committee," said Hanson. "But the most powerful people who came into discussion were the young adults and teenagers. They were very clear about what issues teenagers are exploring and want to hear more about."
Hanson said many submissions centered on bullying or generational differences - "real issues for real teenagers in every culture."
"The project has reached students who had been considered hard to engage," said Hanson. "Students remarked that they were empowered by the project because it demonstrated to them how their lives and experiences connect with the larger world."
Forty scripts were chosen as semi-finalists. From that pool, 10 finalists were selected. The committee then selected two winners and two runners-up - one from each locale. Directors were on hand when the two top entries were announced, noting that their projects were still in the "tweaking" stages. The hope is that the winner's scripts will turn into films that can be used by schools throughout the country.
Hanson praised Maura Minsky, executive director and co-founder of Scenarios USA, for her effective style of consensus-building during the selection process. "Everyone selected their first choices, and favorites emerged right away," said Hanson. "The process allowed everyone to fully share their baseline thoughts in a concise way, and then we moved on."
Hanson said she was the only member of the faith community at the table. "I was there because of the experience I've had regarding the issues of gender, power, sex and relationships," said Hanson. "What we do here in the UCC matters to the people outside the walls of our church. We are advocates in so many different areas. We are looked to in many cases to be leaders in this."
Hanson said her link to serving on the selection committee was Stephanie Wahome, Greater Cleveland project coordinator of Scenarios USA. The two met in January 2010, a year after Wahome had returned to her native Cleveland to provide education and an arts-integrated curriculum for under-served youth through Scenarios.
"What is so valuable about this program is that it isn't just about a writing a script," said Hanson. "Teachers have a curriculum they use. Yes, it's about helping students with their English composition and grammar, but it's also dealing with topics that are not so warm and fuzzy."

What parts of Java do you dislike and why?
Hi everyone.
Recently I looked some ads about Java vacancy and found this question and really I have doubt with this. I actually don't know how to answer on this question.
So What do you think about it? Any suggestion. :)
Regard.Skype: petrarsentev
Re: What parts of Java do you dislike and why?
Honestly? I dislike questions like this.
But if I were to give an answer, it would be the misconceptions around the language. People think that Java is slow because when it was first being used, programmers didn't know how to use it- they did things like put a bunch of work on the EDT, which caused the program to become unresponsive. That didn't mean Java was slow, it meant that the programmer was using it incorrectly. Couple that with the metrics for the original JRE being "slower" than equivalent languages (not that the difference really mattered to 97% of programmers or users), and people who know nothing about Java or programming still tout "Java is slow!" even though it's simply not true. For more information: Java performance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The other misconception is that Java programs are all ugly, gray, square buttons used for boring business software. Sure, that's ONE application of Java (and many other languages), but one look at the featured board at JGO should shut anyone up about Java not being cool/beautiful/game-worthy.
Other misconceptions are things like "teh Jav is dead", which is, again, simply not true.How to Ask Questions the Smart Way

Re: What parts of Java do you dislike and why?
I personally dislike the explicit boolean type; I prefer it the 'C way': anything not 0, 0.0 or null is considered true. But that's just me ...
kind regards,
JosBuild a wall around Donald Trump; I'll pay for it.
Re: What parts of Java do you dislike and why?
KevinWorkman Thanks for your opinion, but I want to hear your opinion about this questions. You just pointed peoples opinions who don't use Java in job as profession developer. for example JosAH said good thing. Sometimes I get bug in this cause like this;
Java Code:Integer i = null; passParams(i); .... void passParams(int value) {
Skype: petrarsentev
Re: What parts of Java do you dislike and why?
I'm not sure what use you think this information would be to you. Different languages are useful for different things. The people here obviously find Java useful for most things, or else they wouldn't be here. So you aren't going to get a ton of responses. My answer isn't just about people who don't use Java- it affects people who do, as well. For example, management might hear from somebody that Java is slow and decide not to use it, even though it's the best tool for the job. This is a real downside of the language, in that it's underrated and undervalued, at least some of the time, so as a developer of Java I sometimes feel the same way.
I don't want to be too pedantic, but that's not a bug, and it is run, and that's not the reason you get the Exception.How to Ask Questions the Smart Way

Re: What parts of Java do you dislike and why?
I personally LOVE the strict typing of java.
The fact that it will not implicitly cast from int to bool stops 90% of "if (x = y)" coding errors before the program will compile. Actually the "=" for assignment is a minor negative but its conventional so I don't notice it.
For me the worst point of java is that in order to make all code portable, there is no support for some (frankly very common) os features. Unix sockets spring to mind. This makes it impossible for java to interface with some programs without diving into JNI. I've had to re-configure my PostgreSQL server just to allow Java to connect. I've then had to implement an Ident server capable of translating between IPV6 and IPV4 just to get java to authenticate with PostgreSQL based on O/S user.
And yes the performance is an issue... For larger programs not so much. But with small command line programs; the time it takes for the JVM to initialize can be many times the entire runtime of an equivalent C program, making small light weight java programs rather slow.----Signature ----

Give me some clues. Where were these photos taken? If this was practice at a tournament we can check the draw. She kind of looks like Kanepi, but it is tough being this far away. What kind of racquet is that, anyone?
Sony Ericsson Open in Miami this year. I took a whole bunch of picture there but don't know who this player is. The racket looks like a Head Extreme to me. Its def not Kanepi.
You know who will probably know? TennisBum Ask him to have a look here.
Don't know. Too small of image to identify. If you crop in and post again, might be able to tell better.
Hard to tell, I thought Agnes Szavay,but she uses wilson, big girl.
She looks right handed so it can't be Kerber...

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and leaders of four equipment manufacturing companies today joined former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) at a manufacturing plant in Pataskala, Ohio, to discuss ways to strengthen U.S. manufacturing in the global marketplace.
AEM member company business leaders from Ohio and Iowa shared their perspectives with Gov. Romney about the need for new manufacturing policies that would rebuild deteriorating roads, bridges and highways and help American manufacturers and farmers export their products to new and expanded markets around the world.
Gov. Romney spoke to employees at Screen Machine Industries (SMI),a member of AEM and participates in the I Make America campaign to support manufacturing jobs.
In its effort to support America's manufacturing sector, AEM launched a national grassroots campaign in 2010 called I Make America to give a voice to the men and women across the nation who work in manufacturing and agriculture. Thousands of people across the country have signed up to support this campaign, recognizing that infrastructure investment and export-friendly policies are two fundamental ways to generate economic growth and create jobs.

MDOT seeking 'walk' stories for Facebook
LANSING – What's your story? The Michigan Department of Transportation is collecting memories from the public about the annual Labor Day Mackinac Bridge Walk. One person sharing their memories on MDOT's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/MichiganDOT) will be chosen at random to receive an oncein a-lifetime tour to the top of the Mackinac Bridge.
Now through Sept. 10, those interested can post memories of walking the bridge in years past, including photos and videos, on the MDOT Facebook page. MDOT is also encouraging anyone walking the bridge this year to share their experience and make this year's bridge walk a unique live social media event. Participants can share stories, photos or videos.
"The Mackinac Bridge Walk is a Pure Michigan tradition unlike any other," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. "It's the one time of year that pedestrians are allowed on the iconic bridge that links our two great peninsulas. We encourage anyone who's never walked the bridge to make the trip this year."
A free gift pack of Pure Michigan merchandise donated by the Michigan Economic Development Corp., including hats and t-shirts, will be awarded to the person who travels the farthest to walk the bridge and posts their memory to the MDOT Facebook page. One entry chosen at random by computer will receive a tour for two to the top of the bridge, courtesy of the Mackinac Bridge Authority. MDOT employees and their families are not eligible for either prize, but are encouraged to share their photos, memories and videos on Facebook.
For more details on the Mackinac Bridge Walk social media promotion, go to the MDOT Facebook page.

The final part of funding for an upgrade to Springfield's sewer plant was approved last week by the Springfield City Council.
In February, the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission received confirmation that they were approved for a total of $1.92 million from rural development, with $1,347,000 coming from a loan and $573,495 coming in the form of a grant for a headworks sewer project upgrade.
... And cut!
Hollywood will begin to scale down its presence in the small towns of Springfield and Lebanon as it wraps up production of the movie "Tragedy Girls," a horror-comedy film portraying an adventure of two teenaged girls, later this week.
According to Edward Mokhtarian and Armen Aghaeian, producers of the movie, the production of the film has gone extremely well.
A former Springfield police officer, along with another man, have been indicted on assault charges.
The Washington County Grand Jury indicted Michael A. Cotton, 59, of Bardstown, and Kevin R. Bewley, 28, of Willisburg, on one count of assault in the second degree, a class C felony.
Shawn Malloy, along with his wife, Lori, has been working with natural fibers for more than a decade. Now, after opening two successful fiber companies, they've opened up a third – U.S. Natural Fibers, a processing plant in Springfield.
"What U.S. Natural Fibers is all about is, we're buying and selling fiber from small farms across the county," Malloy said.
Multiple city council and school board seats are up for grabs this year, and voters will go to the polls to decide who will fill them on Nov. 8.
Tuesday, Aug. 9, was the last day for candidates to file for election.
According to Washington County Clerk Glenn Black, three school board seats are up for the taking, as well as all six spots on the Springfield City Council.
Washington County High School's chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is not only one of the biggest chapters in the commonwealth, it's also had some its members recently recognized at the national level.
The Woman's Club building has been transformed into a coffee shop called Gushers, and it could remain that way after the most recent city council meeting.
The film "Tragedy Girls," which has also been referred to by its production name Sadie & McKayla, has been filming in Springfield since the end of July, and when the movie called for a smoothie shop for the main characters to visit, the props department created one in the Woman's Club building.
Residents of the Beechwood subdivision off of KY 555 will be glad to hear that an approximate 800-foot stretch of Beechwood Drive will be adopted by the county.
Washington County Fiscal Court voted to begin the ordinance process so that the county can provide maintenance to the road.
This comes after a request from members of the subdivision last year. In September 2015, the fiscal court denied the residents' request for adoption after it was determined the road did not meet county specifications.
Children and teens in Washington County are headed back to school tomorrow, and according to Washington County Schools Superintendent Robin Cochran, a lot has been done in preparation for their return.
"We are very excited about the 16-17 school year," Cochran said in an email. "WCSD staff, while on summer break, has spent a great deal of time planning and preparing for the upcoming year."
She said many staff members have undergone course work over the summer.
The doors of St. Catharine College closed permanently on July 31, and now the assets of the school are under the control of a federal court-appointed receiver as the result of a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by Huntington National Bank as trustee, to recoup more than $24 million under various loans, bonds and mortgages.

Twins Release Matt Guerrier
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have granted relief pitcher Matt Guerrier his unconditional release, making the 35-year-old right-hander a free agent.
The Twins announced the move Monday. Guerrier was trying to make a comeback from surgery on his right elbow.
He gave up three runs and five hits in four innings during spring training.
Guerrier spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Twins, starting in 2004, and was at camp with a minor league contract.
With Jared Burton, Casey Fien and Anthony Swarzak already established as reliable right-handers in the Twins bullpen, and the possibility of starter Samuel Deduno joining them, there was no room for Guerrier.
The Twins also optioned right-handers Michael Tonkin and Ryan Pressly and catcher Chris Herrmann to Triple-A Rochester.
Meanwhile, the spring training game between the Twins and Tampa Bay Rays scheduled for Monday was rained out.

Oh it's a wondrous Friday, folks! Are you feeling some stress from a shitty week? Maybe need a little something to blow off some steam and get pumped for the weekend? Well have we got the remedy for you!
One of our favorite bands, Dead Sara, just released a spanking brand new video for their song of badassery, "Lemon Scent" from their highly anticipated self-titled debut album which will be out April 10th – and it's pure aggressive awesomeness! Live vicariously as you watch lead singer Emily Armstrong and lead guitarist Siouxsie Medley battle it out in the ring! Everybody loves a good bitch fight, right? We won't ruin the ending for you, but these girls and band KICK ASS!
Love these lyrics:
You're not cut out for this
You've got that lemon Scent
Fuck your instincts
Everything you do is for somebody else
Dead Sara is currently out on tour with Muse, which was a dream come true for the band. As a matter of fact the Los Angeles based quartet has been nothing short of a Cinderella story since their formation in 2011. They spent most of last year between trying to record their first album (after getting signed by Epic Records), touring on Warped and sharing stages with the likes of Bush and the Offspring.
Hailed as one of the biggest breakout acts of 2012, the sky is the limit as far as we can foretell for singer Emily Armstrong, Siouxsie Medley (guitar), Chris Null (bass) and Sean Friday (drums). We are betting to see this band on a headlining tour for sure sometime this year!
Check out this amazing live concert footage to see for yourself what we are talking about! Please put your trays in the upright position & forward to 2:33 – hang on!
Told ya so! If you love raw, real, rock n' roll…then this is the band for you!

The Eastern Illinois University Chemistry Department hosted the annual Maurice Shepherd Chemistry Contest on Wednesday, May 11, 2016. This year marked the 41st consecutive year for the contest which drew 71 participants from 11 regional high schools.
Dr. Hongshan He, EIU Chemistry Department, was the guest speaker at the post-test program, and he presented a highly informative and interesting talk to our guests entitled Organic Materials for Solar Energy Conversion.
Mahomet-Seymour won the traveling team trophy for the second consecutive year with a team average of 38.9 which nearly matched last year's team average of 39.3! Neoga edged out Sullivan for 2nd place by a half-point and Effingham placed 4th with team averages of 35, 34.5 and 30 respectively. Each team received a plaque in recognition of their accomplishment.
Students from Mahomet-Seymour also placed in first through sixth place respectively in the individual category although there were ties for 1st and 4th place with students from MacArthur and Cumberland respectively. Unlike the 2015 Contest, there was no perfect score but the high score was a very respectable 45 (out of 50) and followed closely by scores of 43.75, 43.5, 42, and 41.5. These students were awarded plaques in recognition of their performance.
Congratulations to the top teams and top students, and our thanks to all who participated. We are especially grateful to each teacher (coach), since the success of the contest very much depends on their willingness to enter and bring students to the contest.
The 42nd annual Shepherd Contest is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, May 10, 2017. We look forward to your participation!
1st place (tie): Connor Dickey (MacArthur) and Ben Dahl (Mahomet-Seymour) | 2nd place: Joe Churm (Mahomet-Seymour) | ||
3rd place: Antonio Cosimini (Mahomet-Seymour) | 4th place (tie): Conrad Ebbecke (Mahomet-Seymour) and Drew Warner (Cumberland | ||

"Elysium" might be a big budget blockbuster film, but it also is one that opens up conversations about politics, class and race. While doing press for the movie, Matt Damon fielded questions of similar subject matters.
Damon has made no secret of the fact that he disagrees with President Barack Obama, and BET asked him if that stance has changed in Obama's second term.
"He broke up with me," Damon responds. "There are a lot of things that I really question, you know: the legality of the drone strikes, and these NSA revelations they're, you know, it's like, they're, you know, Jimmy Carter came out and said, 'We don't live in a democracy.' That's a little intense when an ex-president says that. So, you know, he's got some, some explaining to do, particularly for a constitutional law professor."
Damon also shares his thoughts about the Trayvon Martin case that drew a lot of press recently as the jury determined George Zimmerman was not guilty. He says, "We have a police force for that. We should leave the novices at home."

Top 5 snacks to eat at your desk
Healthy snacks for work
Do you get struck by the mid-morning munchies? Continually feel the 3pm sugar craving that inevitably brings you to the vending machine for a sweet treat to perk you up? Okay, it's no bad thing to grab a sweet treat now and again, but if you are looking to shave your daily calorie count in a bid to shape up, ditching those sugary or fatty snacks will definitely help.
We've come up with five snacks that can be enjoyed at your desk, so even if you swap one vending machine visit per week with one of the following you'll be on your way to a healthier diet.
For a sweet treat that will sustain you - Yoghurt and honey
Yogurt is low in fat, high in calcium and good for your gut. A recent study also found that people who got their calcium from yogurt rather than other dairy sources lost more weight around the tummy area. Opt for low-fat, unflavoured varieties that contain probiotic bacteria, and add a touch of sweetness with honey. Honey has been shown to increase the blood's level of protective antioxidants, and may also be a useful diet addition for people with high cholesterol. According to research, using honey instead of sugar or an artificial sweetener can reduce total cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increase HDL (or 'good') cholesterol.
Portion size: One 120g (4oz) pot of yoghurt plus one tablespoon of honey = 140 calories.
For an alternative taste to toast - Avocado toasty
Avocado is something of a 'superfood', as it's rich in vitamin E, high in monounsaturated fats and a good source of potassium - as well as vitamin B6, which aids the process of serotonin synethesis (a process that promotes good mood). Spread half a 'medium ripe' avocado on a slice of wholemeal toast to get a tasty, wholesome, low-GI snack containing a healthy dose of fiber. And if you like a spicy touch, sprinkle it with a dash of Tabasco sauce!
Portion size: Half an avocado on one slice of bread = 220 calories.
For a pick up to hide from your boss - Almonds and apricots
Almonds are high in protein and fiber, as well as being low-GI, a good source of magnesium, and rich in vitamin E (an antioxidant). Dried apricots, on the other hand, are rich in carotenes - which may lower the risk of cancers of the throat and lungs - and provide you with potassium, iron, calcium, silicon, phosphorus, and vitamin C. Interestingly, dried apricots have a far greater nutritional value than fresh ones because the nutrient content is so concentrated. Gram for gram, dried apricots have twelve times the iron, seven times the fibre and five times the vitamin A of fresh ones. The best way to eat this snack is to impale the almonds in the apricots.
Portion size: six to eight apricots plus 20 -25 almonds = approximately 250 calories
For a liquid perk up - Banana, mango and pineapple power smoothie
Smoothies are a real filler and can also be enjoyed on the sly if your place of work has a no eating at the desk policy. Granted, you can't just set up your blender next to the photocopier, but you can easily make up a batch for brekkie, save and chill the rest for later. We recommend a banana, mango and pineapple power smoothie, it provide a hefty portion of beta-carotene, folic acid, fiber, vitamins B, C and E and essential minerals. The skimmed milk also adds protein and calcium.
For two servings you'll need the flesh of one ripe mango, chopped ½ fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and chopped, one small banana or ½ large banana, chopped, juice of ½-1 lime (according to taste), 150ml skimmed milk and eight ice cubes. Simply crush the ice cubes in the blender and then add the rest of the ingredients - then blend until smooth.
Portion size: One serving of smoothie = approximately 177 calories.
For a savoury snack to sustain you - Peanut butter on crispbreads
This is the perfect combination of protein, fat, carbohydrate, and lots of fiber. While peanut butter is high in fat, it's the unsaturated (or 'good') kind - and peanuts are a great source of the antioxidant vitamin E. Peanut butter is also rich in protein - so is an especially good option for vegetarians - and a good source of magnesium. Opt to spread the peanut butter on rye crispbreads - which are low in salt, high in fiber and have a low GI - so you won't get an energy high followed by a crash.
Portion size: Two teaspoons of peanut butter on two rye crispbreads = 180 calories.

They are world champions and brought hope to a nation reeling from a natural disaster, but Japan's female Olympic footballers had to make do with economy class seats during their gruelling flight to Europe this week, while the less celebrated men's team relaxed in business class.
The issue surrounding "Nadeshiko Japan", who lifted the women's world cup in Germany last summer, began soon after they arrived in Paris on a Japan Airlines flight from Tokyo.
"I guess it should have been the other way around," Homare Sawa , the team's star player, told Japanese media. "Even just in terms of age, we are senior," she joked.
The team are due to play a warm-up match against France on Thursday before flying to London. Their first Olympic match is against Canada, in Coventry, on 25 July, in a group that also includes Sweden and South Africa.
Sawa, 33, who will be taking part in her fourth Olympics, noted that the team had been awarded business class seats after they won the world cup in Germany last July.
That proved to be an exception: the Japan football association [JFA] has since reinstated the practice of putting female players in economy class, although they were given a little extra leg room in premium economy during the flight to Paris, thanks to their status as potential medalists.
The team received a heroes' welcome on their return from Germany last summer. Their victory was a rare bright spot for the people of Japan, who were still reeling from the 11 March tsunami, in which almost 20,000 people died, and the Fukushima nuclear accident.
Sawa and other players were feted with commercial deals, made numerous TV appearances and became the first sports team to receive the people's honour award from the government.
The most effusive praise came from JFA president Junji Ogura: "The players have showed the brilliance of Japanese women," he said.
While the women set off for London days after an effortless 3-0 victory over Australia, the men failed to impress with a dull 1-1 draw with New Zealand.
Nadeshiko are being talked about as gold medal prospects in London, but the men face a difficult opening fixture against Spain, followed by matches against Morocco and Honduras, and are not expected to win a medal.
Japan's Olympic committee pointed out that most of the country's Olympic athletes, as amateurs, are required to fly economy, with exception made for judoka and other physically large competitors.
Well-known athletes often get round the rule by upgrading with help from their sponsors, but that isn't an option for players in team sports aiming to preserve the esprit de corps.
The JFA said the men's football team had been given business class seats since the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 in view of their professional status.
Sawa, who won the golden boot as top scorer in Germany and was named Fifa women's world player of the year in 2011, suggested that the team's best chance of securing a more comfortable flight back to Tokyo would be to win gold in London.
"When we won the world cup, our seats were changed to business class for our return flight," she said. "I hope we can produce a good result again and be treated the same way."

I have isp3 server at home.(mydns) Now I setting up idp3 server @ work.(BIND) How I can set them up so they function as redundant dns servers to each other? So far I use configuration on my home server that ns1 and ns2 points to the same isp3 server to .So there is no redundancy only it appears that I have two dns servers.I set it up this way just to experiment with it.I could get away with one dns record as NS1. But @ work i would like to have it set up properly as it should be with primary and secondary dns. So I wonder if both location/domains can function as redundant dns servers to each other. could you please explain How it works in nut shell and how it needs to be set up to make it work so when aether servers goes down the one standing will still function on its own but when both servers are up there is two dns servers available to resolute requests. Thank you.
mirror of server explanation Yes i noticed that option. Wander what it does. And the effect to have mirrored system vice versa.
How it mirrors it and what all is mirrorred? does it mirror the whole ispconfig3? does it mirror the dns only? is the current set up on the slave get overwrited or merged? so what exactly is mirrored and how? Some examples of use would be appreciated. Thank you.
It mirrors all configuration for all services that are on the server that is selected in the "is morror of server" field. The slave must be a fresh installed ISPConfig 3 and may not conatain any records assigned to it in ispconfig. So you can not use a server where you created already any records on. All kind of setups that use mirroring. E.g. high availability mailservers, multiple dns servers, high availability webserver setups, load balancing for mailserver clsuters etc.
wont aply in my case The slave must be a fresh installed ISPConfig 3 and may not conatain any records assigned to it in ispconfig. So you can not use a server where you created already any records on. It wont work for me as in my case i wont two established isp servers to work as slave servers to each other in the dns area.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Showmanship
- - Do you show? (:
Do you show? (: I've never showed before (I've only been riding a little over 2 years), but I might in the future. If I do, I think it'd be in Equitation. :] Do you show? If you do show, what do you show in and for how long have you showed? :D |
I did one show last year which was my first and I plan on doing one show per month this summer hoping I can find transportation. I hope to show alot more next summer when I have my own truck and trailer. It's way too hard finding transport! I mainly do gaming, 3 of the 4 shows I have planned this summer are gaming shows. The other one and the first one I did are just local shows with english/western mixed together. We showed english pleasure, equitation, trail and barrel racing. |
Cool :D I'm always scared that the second I walk into the ring I'll completely forget how to ride. xDD And do you think 16+ is too old to start showing? S: |
I definately don't think that is too old to start showing! Besides I was 16 when I started showing last year :p |
I love showing, we only do a few shows a year because they're so expensive! I show dressage ( I used to do hunters) For me it took a while (and I still get worked up) to relax in the ring and ride normally. I have showed since I was... 9 or ten I think. But I started showing dressage a few years ago. 16 is definatly not to old to start! I know 40yr olds who are just starting! :) Posted via Mobile Device |
Haha, okay, thanks :D I don't know *anything* about showing, so I have a lot to learn. xD And to buy. D: |
I show my miniatures..the hardest thing about it is looking relaxed and natural in the arena. |
My horse hasn't got the conformation to show unfortunately so no :( I've showed before though, and it's good fun :) |
I Have shown quite a bit sadly not so much this year I haven't had enough time. When I do show I compete in quite a few different things Dressage, jumpers, Hunter, Hack (generally hunter under saddle and english pleasure), I've also done reining, horsemanship, trail, western horsemanship, and then halter(with and Arabian and a Quarter horse), and showmanship. |
I've showed a million and a half times.. Western Pleasure and Eq, English Pleasure and Eq and a little hunter, and now Barrel Racing. ;] It is really fun and a good experience for you and your horse.:] Oh and Halter and Showmanship. :] |
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 05:53 PM. |

U.S. News A Day With HIV: Photographic Tapestry of Life With HIVSeptember 5, 2013 Positively Aware, a magazine for HIV treatment and wellness, will hold its fourth annual "A Day with HIV" photo essay campaign on Saturday, September 21. The magazine created the event to fight the stigma of being HIV-positive and being tested for HIV. The campaign encourages people everywhere to take photos on that day to emphasize HIV-positive people and those who care for them in their day-to-day lives. The campaign hopes that by confronting stigma, fewer people will be discouraged from getting tested, starting treatment, and disclosing their status to loved ones. Many who test positive feel isolated and alone. This year, Mondo Guerra, a fashion designer and HIV advocate, will join a panel of three to judge the photos. "I know from personal experience how powerful and life-changing it can be to make a public statement about HIV, and also how scary it is for some," said Guerra, of "Project Runway" fame. "I'm thrilled to be able to lend my support to 'A Day with HIV' this year." Positively Aware will announce this year's judge-selected images in October and publish them in its November/December issue. The magazine also will choose four covers for this special issue. The other two judges will be celebrity photographer Duane Cramer and David France, the Oscar-nominated producer and director of the AIDS documentary "How to Survive a Plague." Participants must submit photos by Wednesday, September 25. They can post images on the Web site, www.adaywithhiv.com, or submit them by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. The Web site contains last year's pictures and advice on how to take great photographs. Follow "A Day with HIV" on its Facebook page, on Twitter @A_Day_With_HIV, or on Instagram to receive updates and view selected photographs from last year as well as to share the campaign with friends and family.

Action demanded from BC Hydro at boat ramp open house
BC Hydro knows they have a problem on their hands with Nakusp's boat ramp. If they didn't, they heard it loud and clear at an open house they held on Wednesday to show what they were doing about the much maligned concrete slab.
More than 50 local residents came out to express their frustration, displeasure and impatience with BC Hydro's lack of action to extend the boat ramp so it can be used when the Arrow Lakes are low.
For years, they've waited for Hydro to extend the ramp and fix the floating walkway that helps them get in their boats. On Wednesday, they found out only a temporary fix would be put in place this winter, and a long-term extension would have to wait until whenever the water goes back down again.
"It's just a band aid, a total band aid," one frustrated Rod and Gun Club member told me about the temporary filter stone extension that contractor Landmark Forest Management has been installing.
A few weeks ago, the Arrow Lakes News reported that the boat ramp would be extended by 30 metres starting mid-February. At the open house, we learned those plans have been scaled back and all that is happening right is a temporary fix that will extend the ramp by 18 metres; any permanent fix will have to wait until the next low-water period.
At this point, there's little, if any faith that the work will get done.
"We've been hearing this for years," said Hank Scown, the president of the Nakusp Rod and Gun Club. "I'm tired of hearing why we can't do it. Let's figure out a way to do it. It's not going to the moon."
For their part, BC Hydro and Columbia Power Corporation brought out the whole team for the open house. There was two community liaison officers, multiple engineers and other staff on hand, some of whom came all the way from Vancouver.
"We're committed to building the boat ramp," said Sabrina Locicero, one of the community liaison officers. "We want the community to know we are doing that and we're continue to work on it."
She told me this winter's plans for a 30-metre concrete extension were scaled back because of the rapidly rising water levels. Installing a coffer dam, like planned, isn't feasible under the conditions, so instead a rip rap-like filler material is being placed in the existing rocks at the end of the ramp that will extend it by 18 metres.
"Because we weren't able to go ahead with the coffer dam, we're in the planning stage to look at the options for completing the rest of the ramp," said Locicero. "We need to finish the ramp."
The goal is to extend the ramp so you can get a boat in the water at the lowest water levels — that's about 420.5 metres elevation. The 18-metre fix will bring it down to 427.5 metres elevation.
BC Hydro is also planning to fix the floating dock, which has not worked as planned and hasn't descended as far as planned due to design flaws. As was explained by project manager Bill Smith from Columbia Hydro, the dock has been getting hung up on the old anchors. They will be moved further out so the dock can float unimpeded along the length of the ramp.
All that sounds great, but locals want to see things happen. Mayor Karen Hamling said she was happy so many people came out to the open house because, "they've been very unhappy and this certainly gives Hydro and Columbia Power Corp that it's been blowing in the wind."
For Hank Scown, he wants to see BC Hydro follow through on its promises. The dissatisfaction with the crown corporation goes back decades.
"The saddest part is the people who have some positive thoughts, some enthusiasm, who want to contribute and see if we can't make things better in our lives, they get disenchanted," he said. "They get discouraged and disheartened.
I asked Scown what he'd like to see a year from now. "A year from now I'd like to see a family derby on this February long weekend, where the whole community is out with kids on a full-length ramp that was there regardless of what the water level is," he replied. "I wouldn't want to see a hydro truck in sight anywhere. That's what I'd like to see."

Not sure about this, but I seem to recall that there's a difference between the '37-'41 and '42-'48 brakes. I know the spindles are different. The '37-'41 spindles are "round back" and the '42-'48 are "square back", so maybe the backing plates are different too? Bob |
Sv23T |
new drums dont fit old spindles??? I'm building an old skool 23 t-bucket (Late 50's early 60's style) and just got some new '37-'48 ford 2" drums for the front. I got the 2" cause I eventually want to get some Buick finned drums. I went to mock everything up and realized that the backing plates don't fit on my early ford spindles. The top flat part of the backing plate where the circular bolt pattern is at hits the top of my spindle where the top of the kingpin is at. This causes them to not marry up flush with each other... I noticed in the catalog that if you are installing F-100 front drums on early ford spindles you need a special kit with new bearings and seals and a spacer, but these are not F-100's these are the 12"x2" passenger car '37-'48 car brakes. Can someone please offer some advice or a solution if this has happened to them????? Thanks |

Ya, eating dog meat isn't part of Japanese culture. It's more Korean. Thai don't eat dog meat. As to Chinese, they eat everything, moving or not. Everyone will learn to eat anything during famine.
And don't get worked up so much on what people call Japanese. Last that I know, most Asian countries still have strong resentment in Japanese war crimes (that were never acknowledged by post war JP governments).

The attacks in Mumbai on November 26 left a wound on everybody's memory.
And, as Hindustan Times had reported a day after the attacks, seven players from JCT's I-league team experienced the horror first-hand, when the attacks first took place near Café Leopold. Daljit Singh, Jaspal Singh, Shivraj Singh, Baldeep Singh Junior, Balraj Singh, Balwant Singh and Jagpreet Singh were walking down Colaba Causeway after dinner when they heard gunshots.
But to their fortune they managed to enter a showroom nearby and seek shelter.
Defender Daljit Singh, the eldest member of the group, had told HT a year earlier that it was quite a shattering experience. "We were caught unawares and did not know what to do. Since two of
our players had entered the shop, the rest also rushed in," he said.
"The blasts and the gunshots were ear-shattering. But since the shutters of the shop were down, it gave us some relief."
The defender said that after things settled down after almost an hour, they came out and boarded a bus to return to their hotel. "Once the shoot-out stopped, we came out and took a BEST bus to reach our hotel. But the bus halted a distance from the hotel. With the help of some locals, we managed to walk to the safety of our hotel rooms."
JCT coach Sukhwinder Singh said that when he heard about the terror attacks he started to get in touch with the players. "This crazy acts are now part of life," he said. "I was concerned about the safety of my players and began find about their wherabouts."
Shaken up by the experience in Mumbai, the JCT players were only too happy to leave the scars behind.

Ask Amy: Widow is moving on, but daughter can't
- Article by: AMY DICKINSON
- January 15, 2014 - 1:49 PM
Dear Amy: I am in my 60s and have been a widow for four years. My daughter misses her father very much. I have been dating a very nice man (divorced, my age) for more than six months. My daughter says she is happy for me. She likes my "boyfriend" but says she doesn't want to see me with him at too many family events because it makes her cry to see me with another man.
She says it will take more time. I told her that I respect her feelings, but he makes me happier than I have been and I don't want to leave him at home.
Please offer me your sage advice, Amy. I am willing to be patient, as we haven't been dating for very long, but I sincerely believe we could be together for the rest of our lives.
Amy says: First you need to truly understand, deep down, that your daughter is responsible for managing her own feelings. Then you should hold her hand and spend time with her — talking, going through photos and reviewing memories of your family's life together, so that she knows that this is what she owns, and this loss is what she must come to terms with.
Her past (and the past you two share) belongs to her. This is unchanging and resolute. Your future (and hers) belongs to each of you as individuals.
Your patience and understanding will help her. However, you should not give in to her emotionally loaded demand that you not include your partner in family events. You can tell her, "I understand that you are sad. I realize this is hard for you, but I trust you to find a way to handle this. You can do it."
You should not fear your daughter's tears now, any more than you might have feared the ferocity of her feelings when she was a child. If she is struggling beyond her ability to handle it, you should offer to attend a session with a grief counselor with her.
Going solo
Dear Amy: I am a 58-year-old man who recently got divorced after 30 years of marriage. I am wondering how one learns to live alone. I have never lived alone before now. I come from a large family, had roommates in college (and after), and then got married at age 28. I miss my family and ex-wife badly.
Can this "old dog" learn any new tricks to make this transition any easier? I could just get a roommate, but I think this is a challenge that should be addressed before I just find someone else to live with.
Amy says: I think that getting a roommate sooner, rather than later, might actually ease your transition and adjustment.
If you had a fairly solid roommate situation, you could sort through your feelings and separate your anxiety about living alone from your (quite natural and understandable) loneliness for your family. Interacting with an unrelated adult at home could help ease you toward a new life and teach you some "new tricks." (And, speaking of old dogs, you might consider adopting one. Domestic pets chase the loneliness away.)
You should read, "Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone" by Eric Klinenberg (2013, Penguin Books). Sociologist Klinenberg reports that people going solo do well when they are social and engaged outside of their homes.
A heartwarming story
Dear Amy: I followed your advice on giving books for the holiday season this year.
In the past, I have typically bought gift cards for the grown-ups and plush toys for the kids.
Results this year: Yowsa! Especially with the children. The kids compared books, the adults (privately) were gratified that no batteries were required, and I smiled all day at hearing stories being read and told.
Amy says: This makes me smile. Thank you so much. Long after the batteries have worn down, a book will resonate and inspire its recipient. This year at Christmas my family had a storytelling session/contest that I'm still laughing about.

Air pollution - Outlook 2020 (Latvia)
- Topic
- Air pollution
Projected emissions in 2010
According to information submitted by Latvia on the National Emissions Ceilings Directive[1] in 2009, emission projections for 2010 are as follows:
Pollutants |
Latvian emission ceilings for 2010 (in kilotons) |
Emission projections for 2010 |
101 |
4 |
NOx |
61 |
45 |
136 |
55 |
44 |
14 |
The implementation of all current legislation on SO2, NOx, NH3 and VOC emissions, including measures taken within the framework of climate change policy, will enable Latvia to meet the 2010 emission ceilings for these pollutants.
Projected emissions in 2020
If effective reduction measures are implemented, it is assumed that by 2020 SO2 emissions will not exceed the European Commission's proposed ceilings for 2020 as there are no economic sectors in Latvia producing significant SO2 emissions.
Nevertheless, current studies show that it will be difficult to meet the proposed NOx and VOC emission ceilings for 2020, even if additional measures are implemented and prove to be effective.
The projection for NH3 emissions is that they will decrease but they could still exceed the emission ceilings for 2020 proposed by the European Commission. The level of NH3 emissions will largely depend on national environmental policy and the application of legislation relating to agriculture. However, the implementation of efficient NH3 emission reduction measures may be expensive.
It is assumed that emissions of PM2.5 will also exceed defined emission ceilings in 2020, which is why it will be necessary to put in place additional measures to reduce the emissions of PM2.5.
[1] Directive 201/81/EC of the European Parliament and the Council on National Emissions Ceilings for certain pollutants (the NEC Directive).

Why would any coach with half a brain go with Tebow?
Listen, I love the kids work ethic, heart and determination.
But he's not a QB in this league.
McElroy probably isn't the future, but we know Tebow isn't.
You can't expect to contend for the playoffs or Superbowl every year having to rely on your starting QB pulling last second wins out of his ass every week.
Rex made the right decision.
If this is true, goes to show you who wanted to trade for teblow and who didn't
I hope its true
tebow has succeeded with the right pieces around him, at florida and denver. strong o-lines, running games and defenses. the jets don't have the offense to support him for 4 quarters, just like they don't have the team to carry sanchez for 4 quarters, for different reasons. tebow, like sanchez, is not accurate.
rex wants a smart, pocket passer who can complete short passes, make good decisions and not turn the ball over. this is mcelroy, not tebow, not sanchez.
rex is finally acting to save his job and try to get the lockerroom back in full. sanchez is benched and i'd be surprised he's on the team next year. the defense clearly has no faith in him and sanchez sounds like a defeated athlete. it will be harder for the jets to win games next season if sanchez is on the team.
2 games too late, we'd still be in playoff contention if McElroy played last night.
Mike Tannenbaum wins the "idiot of the year" award for giving Sanchez an extension
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora
The Jets have informed their QBs that Greg McElroy is starting Sunday.
funniest thing will be if tanny gets fired, then mcelroy becomes the starter and the team starts winning next year.
but that is exactly what rex wants. Defense, run the ball and win low scoring affairs. Rex has no interest in throwing the ball all over the place and scoring points. Tebow is perfect for Rex's philosophy. Thats why I cannot understand why rex never went with him. Its seems like the perfect fit.having to rely on your starting defense and kicker
Its not so much who is going to play moving forward. But if rex really wanted to win that game last night, he should have put tebow in and he would have won it.
Hey Mc, you're gonna love the beard
Tebow was never the backup QB anyway, he was just supposed to fill the Brad Smith role. It's just now it's obvious.
I guess we will never know the true story. It just seems so odd to me that with the season on the line, he didnt pull mark last night. Anyone with a pulse could see mark was terrified to be out there and wanted no part of being a starting qb.Rex wants a conservative passing attack, but passing attack, still.
With Tebow you're running a pre-Sammy Baugh-era offense.
You may hate tebow and think he isnt an nfl qb, but he would have won that game last night if given the opportunity.

Here's what I read in May.
1. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
My friend The Saucy Wench will be pleased to learn that I finally made my way around to reading Never Let Me Go. The only previous experience I had had with Ishiguro was the dense and meticulous Remains of the Day, which was a satisfying, if tiresome, experience. Therefore, I grabbed a pencil before I picked up Never Let Me Go, ready to make careful observations in the margins, lest I missed anything. Within a few minutes I was sitting at my dining room table aghast, pencil long forgotten, drawn in by the mesmerizing storytelling.
The first sentences had me. "My name is Kathy H. I'm thirty-one years old, and I've been a carer now for over eleven years." The pages began turning faster and faster. I had been expecting another novel of manners about the English aristocracy, only to get this--a science-fiction story told from the point-of-view of a young, doomed, carer?
Reading a good book is like scratching an itch you didn't realize you had, and Never Let Me Go scratched such an itch. It was unable to keep up the unrelenting momentum of its first act, and the second two-thirds of the novel wended its way through a slightly tedious journey to its conclusion, but it was still a dazzling novel written by a wonderful writer. What are you waiting for? You oughta read it.
Hey, it's a movie, too.
After reading the novel, I watched the faithful and tasteful film version directed by Mark Romanek. It was a fine adaptation with deft performances by Keira Knightly and Carey Mulligan, but it felt redundant to me.
(By the way, did you know that Carey Mulligan is playing Daisy Buchanan in the upcoming film version of The Great Gatsby, which Baz Lurhmann is filming in 3-D? I am not joking you, my friend. They are filming it right now in Australia, of all places.)
(In related news, nobody thought to ask me to play Gatsby, and the role went to Leonardo DiCaprio. Still, I think I could have done a good job.)
2. Lots of Short Stories
I went on a short story tear in May, thanks mostly to an awesome anniversary gift from my wife, which centered around lots of short fiction by J. D. Salinger. After I read those, though, I also read stories by John Cheever, Woody Allen, Philip Roth, and Dorothy Parker, all from Wonderful Town, a collection of New York stories from The New Yorker. This experience reminded me how much I used to love short stories, and how much of my time I spent reading (and writing) them.
3. Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
There. I read Brideshead Revisited. It is behind me now, and I shall never have to read it ever again. That's not to say that I did not enjoy reading it--I did enjoy it, at times. Coming as it was, though, sandwiched between some of the most enjoyable reading I have done in a while, it felt more like an assignment than a real pleasure.
I recently read Waugh's Decline and Fall on recommendation from my professor at Yale, and found it to be irresistibly witty. Brideshead is witty, too, but is mired down with sentimentality and heady themes of homosexuality, Catholicism, and nostalgia. The Waugh in Decline and Fall is a delightfully acerbic writer who mocks everything to within an inch of its life; the Waugh in Brideshead is a bit of a preachy buzzkill. I don't think the author would have disagreed with me, despite the fact that this book became the best-known work of his life. When he re-read it, five years after its publication, he said he was "appalled."
It didn't help that the book I picked up about halfway through Brideshead was one of the most interesting things I have ever read, and made the novel seem pale and boring in comparison. But more on that in a moment.
Hey, it's a movie, too.
I am halfway through the beloved 1982 BBC miniseries version of the novel. It's good!
4. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
What is the most fascinating non-fiction book you have ever read? I have a couple of candidates in my mind right now, but I am not sure if any of them could match up to this one, which I devoured in a way that I have not devoured a book in some time.
This is a hefty one, nearly 600 pages long, but I dispatched it in just about six days. I started cheating on Brideshead Revisited with it, but tried to hold off until I was done with that novel before giving it my full attention.
The only proper way to describe this book is as a science textbook for people who did better in their English classes than their physics, geology, or biology classes. It is divided into 30 chapters covering topics from the birth of the universe to quantum mechanics to plate tectonics to evolution and extinction, and all told in Bryson's learned, conversational tone. And almost every page of it (including the chapter on glaciers!) is fascinating and gripping. In fact, the only time I put it down was when I encountered a terrifying image of a dust mite on page 489. I slammed the book shut and gave myself a few hours to get over the willies.
When I was a young lad, I used to love nothing more than to sit in my father's recliner and read my mother's encyclopedia (edition 1962). Reading this text gave me the same feeling, that I could go on reading and learning without end.
Special Note: This book is unusual in that it comes in two editions. The first is a trade paperback, just like dozens of books you already have, with no illustrations. The other is the Special Illustrated Edition, pictured above, which is shaped like a college textbook and replete with hundreds of lovely illustrations and photos that illustrate black holes, dinosaurs, or grotesquely magnified dust mites. After reading the latter, I can't imagine how much I would have missed by reading the former.

Could it possibly contain the es9022? ESS Products - DAC
Thats exactly what I thought. A passive volume control is at zero gain at full volume. Its just like a volume attenuator (like you get with many headphones on their cables), not an active preamp volume control.
Maybe Larry didn't set his to full volume so that he could get matching outputs with other dacs he was comparing with like the pico. After all, at full volume the udac will sound louder than most other usb powered dacs because of its 2 volt output. |
Right, it doesn't need to be at max to match the Pico DAC-only line out levels, and the uDAC volume knob can go even lower to match the EF2's DAC when I was comparing DACs.
And, with the EF5 amp having a little bit of channel imbalance at very low volumes I can get the amp's volume knob up higher and out of the problem area by turning the uDAC down a little. I used to do the same kind of thing with the volume knob on my apogee mini-DAC. I've even been known to turn an amp up to 3-4 o'clock and control the volume of my amps entirely by using the Apogee mini-DAC's volume. The uDAC allows me to do the same thing. |
