My advice is just use a VPN to cover your ass. stacksocial.com has quite a few available, relatively inexpensive, with lifetime subscriptions. The reason for this advice is that even though your ISP provider, be it iTV3, Metronet, or brandx may not recognize or care about dcma or p2p file sharing, it doesn't mean that they can't be subpoenaed for your information, or be ordered by a court to turn it over. $30 to $60 for a lifetime VPN subscription is better than fines, damage/loss judgement costs, court costs, and IP bans.

Here is what the book looks like:

VIOFO/SpyTec A119 (not A119S). It's one of the most recommend dashcams under $100.

Here's the Amazon Link I bought it from.

Get away from any form of Online Dating. It is a cancer on the dating culture. Build a real live social life and meet people through that. You can begin with something like Meetup.com. I already know there is an active meetup group in Peoria. It is called "The Good Life", has 155 members and run by a guy named Ken, The bulk of the members are probably in their 40's. Just don't treat it like a "dating group" or you may get booted out of it pretty quick. It looks like a social group rather than a singles group, but I am not sure. I gave the guy a heads up that I recommended them to you. Obviously I couldn't give him your name, but if you say we met on Reddit.com he will know who you are.

BTW - I'm southwest of Springfield. It is the same distance to Peoria as it is to St Louis for me. Most of my social life is in St Louis and I am a member of a single Meetup group down there that has nearly 4,800 members.

In my limited experience... the best programmers are self taught. Programming languages are generally not taught in college.

I started my son off with this: Python for Kids.

Python is a good and useful language to learn coding with. His interest was stoked and we moved on to learn C and C++ on his own and learned how to use Linux. It perhaps helped a little that I know coding myself. Really, he didn't want or need my help beyond getting the PC set up with the right software in the beginning. There are vast resources online to learn coding from.

Getting your child involved with Lego Robotics (middle school) and/or First Robotics (HS) can greatly boost interest. Both involve coding. The Lego program begins in August. Most middle schools in the area have a team. First Robotics begins during or just after winter break. Most area high schools have a team associated with them.

You can always buy the lego robotics sets on your own if you like. The Lego Education sets used in competitions are superior to the Lego Store one.

There is a local Code Ninjas location.... which teaches coding. I have known some parents to be happy with the program.

Depends on if it's just the screen or not. If so, it's pretty easy to do on the 4th gen - you could do it a bit cheaper yourself if you bought the screen off of Amazon or something -

There was a book written on this very topic a few years ago. Available on kindle:

"It Didn't Play in Peoria: Missed Chances of a Middle American Town" by Gregory H Wahl

Wow thanks for getting back to me. I know they went through some different line-ups. But all I know is their records. I heard of them from a Tampa FL record store guy with a Chicago connection and he brought down a case of their albums. I have the album and the single. Never got to see them live. I don't even know who Bob is.

I did hear that some members formed Xraymen and put out a CD, but the names didn't even match up from the ones on the original album.

I guess it's a happy memory at this point, and I'm glad to have their recorded output and need to be careful with them since they're out of print.

I suppose we all have memories of great bar bands we saw in our 20s, and they all seem to fade away.

Probably not. He addressed a lot of the crazy rumors in this book. It's by Neil Strauss and very well done. I assume that you were joking, but the book is good. I like Strauss quite a bit though.
