Monotheism in crisis as high level insiders claim the Qu’ran and the New Testament were Vatican P2 lodge propaganda
In a sign we are living in historic times, high level insiders have begun claiming that Jesus Christ was a fictitious character and that the Qu’ran was written by Vatican propaganda experts. This is evidence the 2000 year old Roman plan to create a unified, mono-cultural fascist world government is unravelling and that, as a result, ancient secrets are pouring out. The details of the new revelations can be seen at the end of the article.
Meanwhile nuclear and earthquake terror threats are being made by the US military industrial complex, Russia, Israel, the gnostic Illuminati, the North Koreans and others as a back-drop to negotiations aimed at forming a world federation of free states and sovereign humans.
During the last week the Russians, the gnostic Illuminati, the federation of world martial arts societies, the British, the North Koreans and others have contacted the White Dragon Society to offer support for its plan to end poverty and stop environmental destruction.
Also last week, a man claiming to represent “Russian television” sent a reporter to record a planned one hour special documentary about the White Dragon Society. The individual failed to offer any proof he represented Russian television but nonetheless, he was shown proof the WDS had the capability, if necessary, to raise a 200 million person army against the cabal.

Notable West Virginians recall favorite memories of Christmases past
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For Christmas this year, we reached out to some West Virginians of local and international renown and asked them for their favorite Christmas memories from West Virginia. Here are their answers, in their own words:
Kathy Mattea (country star)
In my early Nashville years, I was hired as a waitress in one of the few trendy restaurants in town. It was good money and allowed me the flexibility to pursue music.
But when Christmas rolled around that year, I was the new kid on the schedule. I could get Christmas Day off, but was going to have work Christmas Eve.
There had been long-running gathering on Christmas Eve of my Mom's side of the family. Every year on the 24th, my entire family -- Grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins (first, second and third) -- would gather at our house and eat copious amounts of food and, of course, open presents! It was my favorite tradition of the year, the thread running back as far as I could remember, stitching together the years of my life.
My mom would bake a ham, and they'd turn the washer and dryer in the kitchen into a makeshift bar. Dad would put our cars in the backyard, and as folks arrived, start lining them up on the grass anywhere they could fit.
As a kid, this was absolutely the most exciting thing -- watching Dad drive everyone's car into the yard! It was like all the rules got broken for that one big celebration.
So, for the first time I wouldn't be attending. I was beyond sad. I called home and broke the news.
But then the day before Christmas Eve, a friend (bless you, Chris Burgess, wherever you are) said he would take my shift. I was ecstatic.
The next morning, I called my sister-in-law and told her I was coming. It was a seven-hour drive, and I drove a '62 Ford Galaxy. A long trip was always iffy.
I pulled up our street just as the party was getting into high gear. There was about an inch of snow on the ground, and the Christmas lights were on. The house was full of people. You could see their silhouettes through the living room window.
I walked in the back door and casually asked my mom for something to drink. She whirled around and nearly started crying. Mom just kept looking at me and saying over and over, "Well, Kathy! Well, Kathy!"
I got a huge hug from the folks in the kitchen that almost crushed me.
Dad was holding court in the basement, sitting on bench under a deer head. He'd recently broken his ankle and wasn't supposed to put any weight on it. When he saw my face, Uncle Pappy had to hold him down to keep him from running across the room.
It is, to this day, my best Christmas memory. My folks are gone now, and we sold the house a few years back, but the history of that place, that safe place where everyone I know and love anchored me to the world in such a beautiful way, lives with me always.
Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. (2011 "America's Got Talent" winner)
There was a place we used to go to across the street from where I lived on Logan Avenue, called Lyman Terrie Hill. All my cousins and I would go up there and sled down the hill; we'd take buckets of water and throw them on the road to make it slick.
It's a blacktop now, but it was just dirt road when I was a kid, and we'd throw buckets of water all over it to make ice. We'd sled down on our jackets or on trash bags with shovels-- sometimes we were fortunate enough to have a real sled or inner tube!
That's my fondest memory as a child in Logan around Christmastime.
Helen Lodge (West Virginia Symphony volunteer extraordinaire)
I came here in 1968, expected to stay a year and now can't think of another city I'd rather live.
I worked at Charleston Area Medical as director of dietetics -- and this was back when hospitals had money. Every year, we'd do a Christmas buffet for our employees. We'd start planning in September, and it was almost like I didn't really have a budget (though, of course, I did.)
Every year, we'd have a different theme and feed some 2,500 people. A lot of the employees who'd come to eat, this was their Christmas. They didn't have families, and so, we were their family.
Christmas day everybody could invite someone to join them in the hospital cafeteria for our noon meal.
I really love those memories.
George Daugherty (the Duke of Dunbar/Earl of Elkview)
The local lawyer and musician sent along this photo, which is one of his very first memories. He's pictured at age 5 as the ring bearer in a Christmastime military wedding in Mannington, where his godmother had to prompt him onto the stage.
"It was the most nervous I'd ever been," he said. "I was shaking so badly I literally had to be shoved out from behind the curtain."

Comparing Amazon Web Services (AWS) to GoDaddy is similar to comparing apples to oranges. Both have their own merits and demerits, they host the different number of sites at a given time, they target different markets, and their pricing is different. The concept of GoDaddy is simple and it is meant for beginners, while AWS is targeted to developers and advanced users. Having said that, both of them make the web hosting world go around in their own inimitable way.
This blog presents a comparative view of both AWS Web services and GoDaddy in an objective manner. Take a look.
AWS versus GoDaddy –
1. AWS vs GoDaddy – Service Plans
A quick glance at the plans, offerings, products, and solutions of AWS and GoDaddy will show there’s a vast difference between the two. Beginners get overwhelmed with AWS’ range of web hosting and cloud computing solutions divided into more than dozen categories. They include developer tools, storage, database, application integration, machine learning, and the Internet of Things. In contrast to this, GoDaddy’s plans are simpler and more straightforward. They are divided into the economy, deluxe, and ultimate. Clients can go live with the essentials by availing the economy plan, whereas if they own complex sites with heavy traffic and need more data storage space and flexibility, then they may go for the higher plans.
2. AWS vs GoDaddy – Geographical Distribution
Individual developers and businesses who take the services of AWS and GoDaddy are located in disparate geographies. A majority of the AWS clients are from countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Japan, and 180 other countries. GoDaddy is more popular in South Asian countries such as India and Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, and 50 other countries. So, numerically, AWS is in the lead.
3. AWS vs GoDaddy – Uptime
AWS has an uptime offering of up to 100 percent. GoDaddy follows closely with nearly the same figure at 99.94 percent. The difference is attributable to the fact that AWS hosts sites that work for a longer duration than GoDaddy. Also, GoDaddy hosts almost a million different sites at the same time, while AWS hosts less than 3,000 a day. Both are huge numbers, but they won’t cause clients’ websites to crash, or hurt their performance or reliability. Service buyers get nearly the same results with both hosts, but still, if they need to choose one of them, AWS is the better option with slightly better uptime.

4. AWS vs GoDaddy – Website Categories
AWS and GoDaddy host different types of websites and concentrate on different industries around the world. AWS leads in Domain Names & Register, Arts & Entertainment, Education, Video Games, and 27 other categories. GoDaddy has better usage coverage with more website categories, which include Business & Industry, Internet & Telecom, Marketing & Advertising, Shopping, and 211 other categories.
5. AWS vs GoDaddy – Pricing
Both web hosting players price their plans differently and keep their prices competitive. GoDaddy charges a fixed cost that can be as low as $1 a month. Their promotional pricing is an example. AWS, on the other hand, offers multiple price options, which can be fixed prices or chargeable by the minute. Depending on the business requirements, clients also choose different plans that are of different prices.
In a Nutshell
Based on the above comparison, you may conclude that AWS and GoDaddy are going neck and neck. It would be unfair to pass judgment that one is better than the other because they are not. Each has its own unique features that are advantageous to the particular client availing the hosting service. Determine which one is best for your needs, but neither of them will disappoint you. If you’re looking for a dedicated web server hosting in India, i2k2 Networks can help. We offer a gamut of enterprise-level solutions for web hosting, public cloud server, and IT infrastructure to developers.

The appointment of Steven Bulger to the position of County Administrator is deeply disturbing and raises grave doubts about whether the change of leadership at the county will result in real reform.
Mr. Bulger is a long time political operative. As reported in the January 7, 2021, Daily Gazette:
Bulger has been involved in Republican politics for decades, and is a former chairman of the Saratoga County Republican Committee and was district director to then-U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson when Gibson, now president of Siena College, was serving in Congress. Bulger is currently the regional administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration, a job he would potentially lose with the end of the Trump administration.Daily Gazette
It is possible that Mr. Bulger has the administrative skills to do the job, but the manner of his appointment does little to encourage confidence.
To say that the way he was selected was opaque would be generous. It was more like a black hole.
This blog has been highly critical of Supervisor John Lawler (Waterford). He bears a great deal of responsibility for the past problems at the county but he was on the money in his attack on Bulger’s selection.
Who did the interviews for a replacement? Were there any other candidates? I’m guessing not?”
“The fact that Mr. Bulger is the former chairman of the Saratoga County Republican Committee is terrible optics.”John Lawler as quoted in the January 7, 2021 Daily Gazette
Bulger’s name was unceremoniously presented to the Board of Supervisors as one of about fifteen resolutions on the agenda for the January 6 meeting. The creation of the agenda was opaque. Supervisors attending the January 6 meeting asked repeatedly who crafted the agenda but could not get an answer. When pressed, newly elected chair of the board Todd Kusnierz denied that he wrote it, but did not offer any information as to who did.
We are talking about filling the most powerful position in the county. Under normal circumstances one would expect that an acting County Administrator would be appointed while a proper search was done.
That search would involve the public posting of the position. As with most high positions, an executive search firm would have been contracted with to seek out the best candidate. After all, this is the person who will essentially be running the county.
There remains the question whether this mysterious selection even met the requirements of anti-discrimination laws.
To choose the past chairman of the Saratoga County Republican Committee as the county administer behind closed doors and without a search is an example of Yogi Berra’s adage of “it’s deja vu all over again”.
The specific choice of Bulger is disturbing but the manner by which he was chosen is even more disturbing. Its tone deafness and heavy handedness mirrors the very problems the insurgents claimed they were going to end.
One might well ask where the Saratoga Springs Supervisors were in this sordid business. The answer is that they offered no criticism and voted for Mr. Burger.
I received a press release issued by Supervisor Tara Gaston. With no sense of irony she wrote:
“Supervisor Kusnierz launched his tenure with remarks on improving communication and transparency [JK: my emphasis] in county government, beginning with a thorough and public COVID-19 response plan.”
“It is therefore with hope, honor, and humility that I accept his (Kusnierz) appointment to lead the Board’s Health and Social Services Committee.”Supervisor Gaston Press Release
Supervisor Kusnierz may have a “thorough and public COVID-19 response plan,” but other than announcing that his top priority would be getting a vaccine out and improving contact tracing, few details were given.
For those of us who had viewed the successful change in county leadership with great anticipation, these developments have been a cold dose of reality.

After much research this was the most suggested drill, and it didn't disappoint!
Comment:Great size, small price, 2 batteries, good power! This is the first drill I've ever bought (I normally borrowed them!) and I decided it was long over due! After a lot of research, this was by far the most suggested drill for the average homeowner. Basic and economical that gets the occasional DIY job done! I'd definitely suggest it to friends
November 5th, 2014
Comment:Husband lost his battery to the first one of these drills that he had, so I order him and new drill and the day it arrived we found the battery. So now I get to have the old one for my own, totally love it. Small, lightweight, very handy. Would recommend it to anyone. Now we both have our own.
August 23rd, 2013
Perfect for this Occasional DIYer
Comment:After some on-line research, this appeared to be the right choice for me, and I was correct. Easy to use, light weight, nice appearance, cost effective.

It began with the breaking and entering of a Warren home where two teens were, sparking a 911 call and subsequent chase by Warren police.
A state police trooper on Interstate 94 near Van Dyke in Detroit heard five gunshots in a nearby neighborhood. While investigating, the Warren police zipped by in pursuit of their suspects and he joined in behind.
State Police officials say the suspect, in a white SUV, blew a stop sign while leading police northbound on Iroquois and Warren Avenue in east Detroit and slammed into another SUV that was westbound.
The driver, a 47-year-old Detroit man, ran away. The driver of the vehicle he struck, a 47-year-old Detroit man, with three passengers, including a 2-year-old boy, suffered minor injuries.
State troopers were able to track down the suspect on the porch of a nearby home believed to be owned by a relative.
Meanwhile, as another state police sergeant responded to the crash, a woman flagged the sergeant down and said she'd been sexually assaulted in a nearby abandoned house.
Using the "good description" provided by the victim, the sergeant began searching and spotted a man who fit the description between some abandoned houses.
The suspect immediately ran but was captured by the sergeant. He's been turned over to the Detroit Police Department pending charges.

Pictorial Space: New Textile Images
Date: Sep 15 - Dec 2, 1990
Artist: Marna Goldstein Brauner, Nancy Edell, Marcel Marois
Curated by: Susan Warner Keene
The 1990 exhibition Pictorial Space: New Textile Images focuses on the work of three artists: Marna Goldstein Brauner, Nancy Edell and Marcel Marois, and provides an opportunity to take a closer look at contemporary storytelling and the significance of individual techniques – in this case, textile collage, rug hooking and woven tapestry.
Each artist takes a highly personalized approach to the invention of the imagery, deriving iconography from personal experience and extending it into allegorical narrative forms. Inextricable from this narrative is the physical nature of the objects themselves – the interplay of image and structure affirms the possibility of an expressive textile art that can refine the language of material and process while speaking of life and spirit.
Pictorial space: New textile images focuses on the work of three artists: Marna Goldstein Brauner, Nancy Edell and Marcel Marois. Each of the artists takes a highly individual approach to imagery and medium. In bringing their work together, the exhibition provides a welcome opportunity to take a close look at contemporary intentions and methods.
Marna Goldstein Brauner uses photo silkscreen methods to layer and repeat images on linen cloth, then goes on to add further layers of embroidery, beading and sequins until her cloths attain great richness and density.
Nancy Edell’s hooked rugs reflect her interest in the conflict between myth and reality, particularly as it is expressed in sexual politics. Her choice of this medium – commonly dismissed as merely a comfortable domestic textile – enhances the irony she portrays.
Marcel Marois is a Quebec City artist whose large tapestries have won him an international reputation. While working with traditional Gobelin weaving techniques (characteristic of tapestry produced at the Gobelins works in Paris, France), Marois draws on news-media coverage of environmental issues for his powerful images, which are tense with an atmosphere of crisis.

Dance occupies a prestigious place in Indian performing arts, yet it curiously, to a large extent, has remained outside the arena of academic discourse. This book documents and celebrates the emergence of contemporary dance practice in India. Incorporating a multidisciplinary approach, it includes contributions from scholars, writers and commentators as well as short essays and interviews with Indian artists and performers; the latter add personal perspectives and insights to the broad themes discussed. Young Indian dance artists are courageously charting out new trajectories in dance, diverging from the time-worn paths of tradition. The classical forms of Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Odissi and Manipuri, to name a few, are rich resources for choreographers exploring contemporary dance. This volume speaks about their struggles of working within and outside tradition as they grapple with national and international audience expectations as well as their own values and sense of identity. The artists represented here continue to question the uneasy relationship that exists between the insular world of dance and outside reality. Simultaneously, they are actively creating new dance languages that are both articulate in a performative context and demand examination by researchers and critics.

Will mistrust between government and industry affect new cyber laws?
As of February 22, Australian companies are now required to comply with the new Data Breach Notification Regulation that was passed under the 2017 Act Privacy Amendment (Notifiable Data Breaches). This regulation impacts all Australian organisations and agencies that currently adhere to the 1988 Privacy Act. Given the dramatic migration of cyber crime and fraud to businesses and government organisations of all sizes over the past five years, federal regulation of data breach notification, to both hold organisations accountable and encourage the implementation of cyber security best practices, seems the obvious answer.
Op-Ed by Terry Roberts, Executive Chair of WhiteHawk Limited (ASX:WHK)
Ideally, we want to know what breaches are happening across government, industry, non-profits, and academia; the magnitude of the breach and the level of sensitivity of the data stolen; and, if available, the who, why, and how of the cyber adversary that took the data. This regulation is designed to gain insight into the scope of cyber events and the impact to our economies.
However, there is one major drawback to this regulation – the fact that it is federally administered. For over a decade, based upon my research and experience, I have recommended that cyber event reporting should be federally sponsored but administered by a non-profit, third party entity that is equally trusted by government and industry, and a proven cyber thought leader.
This is because private businesses and non-profits, by necessity must protect first their reputation and revenue. On the other hand, the government focus is on breach mitigation and customer warning and awareness. As a result, companies may be hesitant to report directly to the government because of their understandably conflicted priorities. And frankly, around the world, there simply is not a complete level of trust between government and industry.
An academic institute or non-profit cyber think tank can best serve as trusted entity for both industry and government and be the expert recipient for cyber event and breach reporting, conduct cyber intelligence analysis, and systematically disseminate notifications, preventative insights and recommendations broadly, without attribution to the impacted company or entity. Utilising a third party as the reporting mechanism means that a company’s reputation will be protected while the customers, clients, and personnel are still appropriately notified about remediation and mitigation of the event. This type of approach is more holistic, scalable and impactful over time.
I have also recommended this third-party framework in the US, where data breach notification regulation is currently highly segmented by state and industry. For example, the health care industry has specific rules about reporting personal information breaches through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). However, there is not currently one broad regulation encompassing data breach notifications like the Australian Data Breach Notification Regulation in the US.
So, how does a company prepare for a cyber breach? The first and most important lesson is that strong cyber protection is not about doing everything. It simply isn’t affordable or practical. Instead, you must insure that your customer files are protected and that your proprietary conversations and online communications are encrypted. It’s the digital equivalent of making sure your doors and windows are locked and your jewels are in a safe. Begin by assessing your organisation’s critical functions and prioritising what should be protected first, then back up everything else. Just like that, you are taking the first steps towards protecting your organisation.
It is also important to know that the first step for one company might be the third or fourth step for another, which can make the process seem overwhelming. This is especially true for small and midsize businesses (SMB), who, as a result, are often the most unprepared for a breach.
Until now, there hasn’t been a place for SMBs to quickly and easily profile their risks and put affordable and impactful solutions in place to lower their business risks today. I’ve worked hard the past several years on focusing my time and attention on building the first online cyber security exchange for this underserved market that doesn’t have the cyber security expertise and perhaps never will. This is what the WhiteHawk Cyber Security Exchange is all about. It is an exchange of best practices, cybercrime and fraud trends, analysis of your business risk, and an open marketplace of innovative products and service options.
Australia’s new data breach notification regulation is an important step in increasing peace of mind for both government regulators and consumers that can minimise serious harm to consumers who have had their information stolen or released. Now, we need to work together to help businesses of all sizes put into place the infrastructure to protect their businesses against cyber threats and we offer our expertise to the Australian government to take it to the next level.

Getting Overwhelmed? Choose Not to Be.
First year is a weird time of your life. You’re probably stoked to be in rez, enjoying independence and freedom finally being away from home, or just in general loving the University life of friends, fun, and discovery. But soon after that first week, the realization comes that it ain’t gonna be a walk in the park.
Man, I remember thinking to myself after even just a few classes, there is a lot to do! I reflected with one guy as we left our second Physics lecture, and we both couldn’t believe how much more there was to do (and how short a time we had to do it) compared to high school. The pressure was mounting, and I really had no idea what to do or where to start. Then came a pivotal conversation with a friend over MSN (hopefully you’re all old enough to know what that is…)
My buddy had started University the year before and had gone through everything I had. He was sympathizing with (and laughing at) me as he reflected on his previous year. At one point (probably for the 5th time) I said “Man, I can’t get over how much work this is! I’m kinda nervous…” and he quickly retorted “don’t worry man, just do the work and it’ll get done. Stop worrying, start studying!”
I kinda felt dumb after he said it. I had spent so much time thinking about having to do so much, being worried about it, and then complaining about it that I hadn’t even started to get anything done. It became obvious that worrying wasn’t going to help me at all.
What does it mean?
One thing I love about my friend’s helpful words is that they were simple. “Stop worrying, start studying” – STOP doing the unhelpful thing, START doing what you need to do. In my remaining three years in University, until that very last final, this would be a go-to mantra of mine as I felt stress and worry mounting outside the door of my mind.
Behind the simple phrase is the truth that worrying just doesn’t help me in any way. As an ancient carpenter and religious founder is famous for saying, “…you cannot add an hour to your life by worrying…” If that’s true, why bother worrying? Just get to the task at hand!
80% Internal, 20% External
You don’t have to look too far to find research that shows the nasty effects stress can have on you physically, mentally, etc. And if it’s true that stress is 80% internal and only 20% external(as a mental health doctor told me last year), we only have ourselves to blame if we find ourselves stressing out and consumed with worry.
The “Stop worrying, start ______” mentality helps us here. If we choose to have a correct view of things, we can stop telling ourselves lies about potential consequences, embrace obstacles as challenges (instead of potential stressors), and in the end be healthier and more mentally prepared for it. Joe can focus and work hard on the tasks at hand without being consumed with “what-ifs”. He can move on if he doesn’t get the mark he really wanted.
If you find yourself worrying or stressing out over your tests or assignments (or whatever), take a minute and run through the following exercise:
1. STOP WORRYING
Note that this is an active exercise. You need to actually stop yourself from worrying. Don’t let your mind wander to the potential consequences, the “what-ifs” or the like. Note also that you do have this power. One of the lies that only makes things worse is that you have no say over whether or not you worry.
2. Reflect and ask yourself why you are worried or stressed.
If you are an external processor, you may find it helpful to write things out or talk things through to yourself or a friend. Whatever you do, get the thoughts that feed the worries out there – “I’ll fail my test and drop out of school!” could be one of them. Don’t start the thinking about correcting the thoughts yet – just be honest and get them out there.
3. Correct yourself on what is true about potential consequences, etc.
Now is the time: Defeat the lies! You probably realized as you wrote things down or talked them through how silly some of your thoughts were. So now go back and write out why those thoughts are silly, and replace them with what is true and reasonable. If you had rational thoughts, that’s ok! Just make sure that the beginnings of those rational thoughts aren’t stretching into ridiculousness (e.g. “I could fail my test” is very rational if you haven’t studied and it starts in 2 hours. But sometimes a deeper belief sprouts from this and once again we think that a failed test or course is the end of the world).
4. Psych yourself back up!
Pump yourself full of the truth discussed above and visualize yourself taking on whatever challenge you face. Feel free to quote your favourite movie/TV moments to get yourself back in the game. See below for one of my personal favourites.
5. START STUDYING (in our case)
You can only sit and think (or write, or talk) about the internal stuff for so long. Once you actually consummate your thinking with action you’ll solidify things in your mind and ready yourself for fighting off worry in the future. Now get in there and get the job done!
If you practise this little mental exercise, you’ll both get better at it and find it more natural as time goes on.
At the end of the day, Joe has a choice. He can see the assignments, tests, projects, or really whatever obstacles he faces in life as either stresses to endure or challenges to overcome.
What will you choose?Why do we fall Master Wayne? — So we can learn to pick ourselves back up! [Batman Begins, 2006]

Samsung Galaxy 3 and Galaxy Apollo review: Galactic twins
User interface (continued)
The performance of the Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 is very good – we experienced no lags, even with UI animations turned on. The CPU is powerful enough to take on even more expensive handsets (and with the lower-res screen the Galaxy 3 is flying).
Here’s the traditional run of benchmarks and how it stacks up against the HTC Legend and the Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica, which has a faster 800MHz CPU.
The software on the I5800 Galaxy 3 and I5801 Galaxy Apollo is almost identical, so we’ll review the general version and mention any changes in the Galaxy Apollo (mainly Orange stuff).
A typical Android smartphone, Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 has a phonebook with massive functionality and practically unlimited capacity. The I5801 Galaxy Apollo has an identical phonebook.
The handset displays the phone memory, SIM-stored and all Google contacts in the phonebook. There is a dedicated setting for that, so you really can have all of your contacts gathered in one place. You can search the entries by either flick-scrolling the list or using the alphabet scroll at the side of the screen (courtesy of Samsung and the TouchWiz UI).
With Android 2.1, the Galaxy 3 packs the new Quick contacts feature. It lets you use the contact photo in the phonebook and call, text, or email the person with a single click.
Thanks to Android 2.1, there is also multiple accounts support for email and contact synchronization, including Exchange accounts.
There are many info fields that you can assign to each contact, but it still remains perfectly organized. You have all the types listed (numbers, email addresses, etc) and there's a plus sign on the right - clicking it adds another item of that type. Pressing the minus sign under it deletes the unneeded field.
Samsung have added another cool feature to the phonebook, which is also available in the Bada OS. In the main contact list, a swipe to the right on a name will dial the contact’s default number, while a swipe to the left will start the New message interface. The side-sweep thing works in other lists too where you have names or numbers.
The Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 caused us no trouble during calls. The reception was good and we didn’t experience dropped calls, though the in-call sound wasn’t as loud as we would have liked.
Smart Dial is available and works like a charm – the implementation on the Galaxy 3 searches both contact numbers and names.
Thanks to the proximity sensor, your screen will automatically turn off, once you place you next during a call. The available options during a call include taking a note, using the keypad, muting, holding the call or adding another call to this conversation.
The call log is the tab next to the dial pad. It shows all the dialed, received and missed calls in one list sorting your call history by contacts.
We also ran our traditional loudspeaker test on the I5800 Galaxy 3 and I5801 Galaxy Apollo. They both scored a good mark with (unsurprisingly) very close results. More info on our loudspeaker test as well as other results can be found here.
|Speakerphone test||Voice, dB||Ringing ||Overall score|
|Samsung I9000 Galaxy S||66.6||65.9||66.6|
|Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica||66.6||62.1||75.7|
|Samsung I5801 Galaxy Apollo||71.7||66.6||71.2||Good|
|Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3||73.7||66.6||72.3||Good|
|HTC Hero||76.7||71.9||77.7||Very Good|

It's finally here! The Studer A812 tape machine has joined the lineup of mix:analog! Right now it costs ZERO TOKENS and will stay that way for a few days while we collect bug reports and feedback.
Comparing A812 to the Telefunken
The reason is that the tape machine is a much more modern and linear tape machine and has more options than the Telefunken. For example it supports four tape speeds and three bias settings.
We are not unlocking these options right away, but the sonic differences are easy to hear.
The level is set so that you can drive it really hard but if you want a more transparent result, use the output level knob on the mix:analog IO unit to drive the tape softer, for example at -8 or -12dB. This affects the level of our BURL D/A converters.
Studer A812 User Interface (v.2.5.1)
In version 2.5.1 released September 12th 2019 we show a user interface with the A812 head block. It displays the amount of time left on the tape and a recording indicator. It shows recording or winding (in case the machine is rewinding).

“We’re not just a doll company. It’s the whole education element that appeals to our customers. We call it the vitamins-and-chocolate-cake approach.” So says Wade Opland, vice president of retail for American Girl, which just opened its only store (all 8,500 square feet of it) in Colorado.
I am sure all the prepubescent girls “pointing, pleading and screaming” over dolls and accessories at the opening of the Park Meadows store used the educational angle to convince their parents that $95 for a doll, $14 for doll ear piercing, and $10 to $20 for custom doll hair styling were all important components to their understanding of “historical events and moral or social issues.” Consider the liner notes for Kit Kittredge, a doll themed around growing up during the Great Depression (quoted in the Denver Post, “Girls gaga at doll shop,” 27 March, 2010):
“Kit overhears terrible news just before Christmas — her family may lose their house. Even with the rent from the boarders, the Kittredges don’t have enough money to pay the bank.”
Or this, at the end of the article:
Avital Rotbart, 13, of Denver, left American Girl smiling Friday after buying a Sabbath bread, candle and tea set — $68 — for her Rebecca doll, themed as a girl from 1914 growing up in a Russian-Jewish immigrant family.
How very ironic, or sad: that would have been a Russian-Jewish family living in New York City’s Lower East Side, where I am sure no immigrant parents would ever have contemplated pampering a daughter with the 1914 equivalent of $68 for something as frivolous as doll accessories.
Last night, The Kid came home from babysitting with a $50 bill. Needless to say, no clue who Ulysses S. Grant was, which era, which war. Not surprising, really. So we finally told her it was the Civil War, and she said,”It was the Union against the communists!”
Maybe if I had bought her an American Girl doll . . . .

In the light of recent ongoing hacks, break ins, and breeches of security within the online community both corporate and individual, Google has begun moving forward to accelerate online security for users and creators. In order to promote advanced security measures website owners can take to secure their own domains; Google has begun to reflect security more in its search algorithms. This means, more secure sites are going to rank better than unsecured ones. Though currently things such as traffic, signals, and high quality content are the highest ranking factors, Google has announced new security measure for website owners (HTTPS) in order to provide a safer online experience.
The new process includes security certification once reserved for ecommerce websites where credit card information was exchanged. Once websites began with Http , now there is Https, and it is recommended to be adapted by every website.

If off-roading sets your heart racing, dirt bikes could be the perfect choice for you. But even after gregariously saving for that perfect off-roader bike, what if you fall short on funds? That is when online dirt bike sales can come to help you manifest your dream. Salvage dirt bike auction sales, to be more specific. Continuing on the subject, we present a brief overview of salvage dirt bike auctions, starting with the benefits they entail. Read on.
Why to Buy a Salvage Dirt Bike?
Salvage dirt bikes for auctions are not only great for dirt biking enthusiasts on a limited budget, but also give the extra rush to bikers looking forward to modifying and assembling custom bikes. Moreover, while buying a salvage dirt bike, the consumer already knows what they are getting into, unlike buying a used dirt bike where many damages go unreported. Salvage dirt bikes listed in auctions online come with all their damages and faults officially listed and the buyers know what is in it for them while making the deal.
Repairing Salvage Dirt Bikes
Salvage dirt bikes can be repaired back to excellent working condition if you know your way around the bike and have knowledge about sourcing the suitable spare parts. Many of these vehicles are victims of accidents, natural disasters or severe neglect, but can be salvaged with the right remedial measures. Salvage dirt bikes also serve bidders looking for inexpensive, functional parts for everyday bike repairs. In some cases, the damage to the bike is minimal and you get a great deal.
Things to Keep in Mind when Buying a Dirt Bike
First of all, keep your budget in mind. Although salvage dirt bikes cost way less than new and used dirt bikes, it is always best to have a budget and stick with it to avoid overspending. Moreover, you must have the required financial buffer to cover for spare parts and other repairs. Here are some of the other things you need to keep in mind:
- Make sure you know your way around the bike or get a mechanic to inspect the bike you have shortlisted. A thorough inspection is mandatory.
- Be extra sure when buying expensive or rare bikes unless you have guaranteed access to their spare parts in the future.
- Arrange for insurance beforehand according to the type and condition of your vehicle.
- Buy only from trusted online sources.
- Check the history of the options you shortlist.
- Choose the right engine size; while a 125cc to 150cc bike will be suitable for a beginner, experienced bikers can go for higher models.
Salvage dirt bikes are a great alternative to buying new or pre-owned vehicles if you are handy and looking to save some cash, provided you buy through trustable sources online. No matter whether you are looking for an entry-level dirt bike or are looking for something more advanced, check out salvage dirt bikes for auctions at any trusted auto auction website and register with them to bring home your dream machine.

Assemblyman and wannabe congressman Michael Blake recently worked for one of the country’s harshest debt collectors, The Daily News has learned.
He also failed to report earning tens of thousands from the firm on one ethics filing.
Blake, who serves as vice chair for the Democratic National Committee, got between $20,000 and $50,000 from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson for consulting work in 2013, records show. The firm said he also worked there in 2012.
Linebarger is one of the nation’s largest government debt collectors and reportedly one of the most ruthless – helping inspire federal legislation to combat deceptive tactics used by the industry.
Blake unsuccessfully ran for New York City public advocate earlier this year and is now among 10 Democrats vying for the state’s 15th Congressional district in the Bronx.
When Blake first ran for public office in New York during a 2014 special election for state assembly, he initially failed to report his income from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson.
A July 2014 financial disclosure with the Legislative Ethics Commission only noted he consulted for the firm but didn’t list any income over $1,000. Blake only amended the paperwork to include income in February 2015, after he was already sworn in as assemblyman.
Blake didn’t dispute the shoddy paperwork and defended his work for the firm.
“Five years ago, I advised a national law firm seeking to collaborate with county officials outside of New York," he said in a statement to The News. "This work was approved and permitted.”
Blake worked for the debt collector in both 2012 and 2013, according to the firm.
“Assemblyman Blake did provide marketing services for the firm for a brief period of time in 2012 and 2013, prior to his being elected to public office,” Linebarger spokesman Joe Householder said. “Since then we have had no business relationship with him.”
Blake has previously said he worked for the firm for just three to four months and earned a fixed fee, according to a transcript from an August 2014 deposition for an unrelated election law dispute.
“I was helping them make introductions to elected officials around the country,” Blake said at the deposition. “They represent municipalities around the country and given my previous work at the White House they were looking for someone who had relationships with elected officials around the country as well.”
The city eventually said she didn’t have to pay after the Daily News wrote about the notice she was sent. The collection firm said the case was referred to them in error and they’ve since implemented a review process for all NYPD property damage cases to prevent a similar bungle.
Linebarger was also among firms found to have sent people “scary debt collection letters – threatening arrest, suspension of their driver’s license or garnishment of their wages,” according to a CNN report.
Reports of Linebarger’s practices led U.S. Sen. Cory Booker to introduce legislation in 2015 prohibiting firms hired by the federal government from using abusive, unfair or deceptive means to collect what’s owed.
“From unpaid traffic tickets to overdue student loans, debts owed to the government have too often become a license for debt collectors to harass and intimidate well-meaning families who are struggling to get by,” Booker said at the time.
The Linebarger spokesman said CNN’s reporting was biased.
“We are in the business of collecting government receivables such as delinquent taxes, fees and fines,” Householder said. “Our collection work helps governments build roads, pay the salaries of police officers, and provide public schools with much needed funding for education.”
Blake said that bringing up his history with the firm was “silly” and painted the revelation about his side-gig as a smear campaign by his political enemies.
“While opponents try to divide the community with silly attacks, we will focus on our recent Congressional endorsements for our campaign, building more momentum among community leaders and bringing Bronxites together who believe in our vision,” he said.

MORGANTOWN — For some time, Pat Hawthorne had heard stories about Terrell Chestnut, about how a gifted athlete and smart young man struggled in class, talked back to teachers and punched his peers.
One day, Chestnut sat across from Hawthorne’s secretary desk outside the assistant principal’s office at Pottsgrove Middle School in Eastern Pennsylvania, in trouble yet again. In that moment, she saw something in the sixth-grader’s eyes, a basic goodness and compassion that didn’t befit someone making regular visits to the school’s disciplinarian.
So, in a moment of inspiration, Hawthorne unloaded.
“What are you doing throwing away such God-given talent?” Hawthorne later recalled in a letter nominating Chestnut for an award. “A good-looking boy like you who can see the entire basketball court as a point guard, deliver precise passes and make plays like you do and excel with speed and agility on the football field has intelligence and no right to be struggling in the classroom and sitting in this office.”
Chestnut didn’t respond, but the next day he flashed Hawthorne a small smile. The message had gotten through.
That moment nudged Chestnut, now a senior cornerback for West Virginia, away from a troubled childhood. As he prepares for his final college game, the Cactus Bowl Jan. 2 against Arizona State, he’s always mindful of the people — from Hawthorne to his grandmother — who helped a lost young man save his life.
“It just changed my mindset about certain things, made me mentally stronger and allowed me to cope with certain things,” Chestnut said. “What I went through, even when I got to college, it helped shape me into what I am today.”
Understanding the depths from which Chestnut rose is difficult without knowing the circumstances from which he came.
His upbringing was anything but settled. With his father out of the picture, Chestnut and his siblings moved from one place to another, from his original home in Philadelphia to a foster home and, ultimately, to a two-bedroom house with his grandmother in Pottsgrove, Pa.
For all that turbulence, nothing shook him more than the loss of his older brother, Don.
When Chestnut was 8, the two were hanging out one night when Don had an asthma attack. The next morning, Chestnut learned his brother had died.
The trauma of that event festered into an internal rage, one that got him into scuffles and made him something of a bully. He befriended a drug dealer or two. Academically, he staggered, so much so that he had to repeat the sixth grade.
“That was my way of coping, getting in trouble and crying out for attention, but not in a positive way,” Chestnut said. “It was an outlet for me to release my anger.”
Then, early in his second year of sixth grade, Hawthorne gave her talk. The two had never met before, but she gave him a stern, vocal lecture rooted in the same principle by which she had raised her own children — live and perform to the best of your abilities.
“I thought for sure I was going to get fired,” Hawthorne said with a laugh.
What came from that speech was a lasting bond. Chestnut secured the coveted position of office aide, where he spent 45 minutes every school day doing various chores and, most important, talking with Hawthorne about life and the difficulties he faced.
A promising athlete even in his lowest moments, Chestnut’s life changed that much more when he started playing football in seventh grade.
“A lot of that energy and a lot of that emotion was caged up for years,” said Bill Hawthorne, Pat’s son and Chestnut’s quarterback coach and offensive coordinator at Pottsgrove High School. “Football was one of the ways where he could channel a lot of that energy loose.”
Chestnut quickly proved to be a special player. He was a four-year starter at safety, a three-year starter at quarterback and a three-time all-state selection. Away from the field, he excelled academically, blossoming into an honor roll student in high school, while volunteering with youth groups and at a local nursing home.
That charitable work has continued at West Virginia, as he spends some of his free time at the Ronald McDonald House and a local hospital, among other places. Every Thursday, he and teammate Isaiah Bruce buy McDonald’s cheeseburgers to hand out to the homeless.
“They’re really appreciative,” Bruce said. “They know us by name. Every time, they expect us to come around 11:30-12:30 or sometime around there. It’s a good feeling, giving back, and just knowing how much it affects them, even with just one cheeseburger.”
A standout in a strong Mountaineers secondary, Chestnut’s future beyond this season is unknown. But whatever he pursues, his past — from the hardships he endured to the assistance he received — pushes him to help others however he can.
“To see the amount of people that helped me get to where I am today really set me up to want to give back,” Chestnut said. “I’m in a position where I can give back and I’m going to continue to give back. As long as I have this platform, I’m going to continue to help as many people as I can.”

Investing in a startup ‘case’ vs a startup’s DNA
When I hear folks discussing a potential startup investment I’ll often hear something like “it’s a really attractive case” or after the team has made certain changes to the pitch, “the case has improved a lot.”
Although in most cases it is meant well, I don’t like that way of thinking because it feels like we are at business school and are making decisions based on how slides and spreadsheets are changing.
What it completely ignores is what I call the company’s or team’s “DNA” – i.e. its intrinsic capabilities that are completely detached from any kind of plan. Let me explain using an example:
A team approaches investor X and the investor thinks that the product roadmap is too slow and revenue ramp is too late. The team works on the pitch and comes back with a faster product roll-out and a more aggressive revenue plan. The investor says “the case has improved a lot” and is now more likely to invest.
However, nothing has changed at the company – same team, same product, same market, etc. In fact, nothing has improved at all, except a few slides and numbers on a spread sheet. That is why I really dislike decisions that are based on how ‘cases’ are moving around.
DNA investing works differently and it is my preferred method: Say if I have questions around a company’s product roadmap or monetization strategy I would much rather focus on observing its ‘DNA’ in those areas, e.g.:
- While we were engaging with the team have they iterated quickly on their product?
- What is the observable product quality to me; to their customers?
- How have they reflected user / customer feedback in to the product in the past?
- How is the product team assembled, what are the backgrounds of the product folks at the company?
- Does the team have a clear idea on how / where to monetize and how / where not to? Is there a philosophy behind it?
- Have they been agile in testing pricing structures in the past? Are they structured in their thinking vs benchmarks, competitors, etc?
- Does the team have a relevant background in monetizing this kind of product? If not, do they know who they want to hire?
If I have a good feeling on the above, quite frankly, I don’t really care about the plan so much at all. That will be easy to figure out together. However it will be very hard if you don’t have the DNA to do it, no matter what it says in your pitch or spreadsheet.
This is oversimplified but you get the picture. A company’s DNA is way more important than it’s business ‘case’. Unless of course you are actually at business school.

A total of 25 of the Cardinals rookies went to Phoenix Children’s Hospital yesterday to bring a little joy to the kids who are there. Thanks to the wonders of technology — and the enterprising PR person Stacey Dillier (@PCHPRgal on Twitter) who recorded this great piece of video goodness — you can see some of the rookies “playing backup” to patient Bethany, who decided to channel her inner Taylor Swift. The players are Jamaal Johnson-Webb (62), Padric Scott (62), Earl Watford (with the giant stuffed dog), Dan Giordano (48, sitting) and Jonathan Cooper (61).

A New Role
For the past two years, I’ve been working as a product engineer developing picture frames and limited time only products. I have been largely focused on the item-level details of our various assortments. I reported to a product development manager (PDM) whose job it was to lead us through the process of product development, and ensure every member of the team (buyers, packaging, engineering, design, leadership) were all producing the right deliverables at the right time. He managed our development calendar in order to anticipate obstacles, secure resources and create strategy. He facilitated the correct conversations at the correct time to create alignment with other teams and leaders. He was a program manager at the core, with additional responsibility for team and technical strategy. It was his job to keep the cross functional team running smoothly, producing great product and getting it to stores on time. (He did great, btw.)
Well, now, it’s my job!
As of last week, I joined the Housewares team who develops kitchen tools & gadgets, barware, bakeware, cookware and cutlery. Target has tremendous breadth of product in these categories, and many different brands both Target-owned and national. Our part in this is the development of owned or exclusive brand offerings such as Chefmate, Room Essentials and Threshold. I also get to lead a team with incredible talent and guest empathy who weave user experience into everything they do.
As I onboard into this new role, I’m drawing both great strength and caution from my own experience as a Target engineer. I know the product development process in and out, and the specific ways I accomplished the job. In this role, however, I have to use that experience judiciously, because even a few weeks in I’m fighting the urge to solve – to prescribe – to execute! I’ve led teams and people before, but I was always alongside them developing product in a same or similar job. It was easy to lead by executional example. As a PDM, I step away from that somewhat and lead through other means. I must now use experience not to hand down solutions, but to influence, to organize, to build consensus and enable my team to bring their own experience to a better solution.
I’m excited to have the time to focus on team, resources, and grow skills in cross-functional leadership. It’s a natural next step given my background and future goals, even if it feels unfamiliar to step back from the day to day. Although, as exploration of unfamiliarity has been the goal of my Target experience, I’m still on the right track.

People we don’t necessarily want to think about in our free time and in school either, people who sometimes seem strange and haven’t got any kind of humor, some even so little that we have to question their humanity.
Sure, you guys are here to fill our brains with knowledge and help us going the right directions in life but this is also possible with less discipline and more fun – this way students are going to come in the classrooms with a smile on their faces and wish you a good morning sincerely.
Strictness on the other hand does not only make you unpopular but I doubt that you’re happy being the talk for students and colleagues.
Maybe these 4 reasons will make it clearer why it is not cool and productive to be strict:
- Students, I experienced myself, learn a lot more in a relaxed atmosphere without a person in the room stressing them out means that they are way more productive and receptive, good for them and for the teachers.
- Especially the quiet ones in class are the ones who have to say something but are restricted by the negative energy in the room. Not only are the lessons less filled with clever comments and are so less exciting but it is a huge disadvantage for the students with a loud brain but a quiet mouth.
- I actually like going to school. Most of our teachers are so relaxed and my classmates are my best friends. Aren’t that the best circumstances to encourage my future kids to go to school happily? Not that I wouldn’t send them to school whether they like it or not, but my dad has always told me about how he loved going there so let’s say it burned into my brain and gave me an instant feeling of comfortless whenever I sat in the chair in front of the board with the teacher next to it, but just because they have always been polite. Impolite and strict teachers on the other hand reach the complete opposite, that’s why, in my opinion, one quarter of the Schoolchildren have such a negative attitude toward school, which is going to continue with their children etc. if nobody shows them how fun school can be with the right environment.
- Aren’t smiles and laughs one of the prettiest things in the entire world, especially when they are directed at you? Yes, they totally are. And if you are being friendly you can watch your class laughing over a joke you made or one of your students shouted around. To be honest the teachers I know enjoy this just as much a we do, so brighten up your day by going easy on it and your surroundings, I guarantee your soul will bless you for this just as your beauty. Smiles ARE attractive!
So basically we all know that teachers with a strict strike tend to be infamous ones but those are facts that go deeper in the topic, hopefully clearing up some fog blurring the vision from them.
Let me say you that you should not let you intimidate from any teacher, do your thing. You are doing it right.

Updated 3:45 p.m.
Raspberry Pi’s website went black after unknown hackers brought it down with a distributed denial of service attack (DDOS). The website has since been restored.
“For those interested, this one’s quite hardcore: We’re seeing a SYN flood from a botnet that seems to have about a million nodes,” said Raspberry Pi on Twitter. “This is the second attack in a couple of days. We haven’t had the blackmail email yet. It’s getting plonked when it arrives.”
During the attack, the company actively tweeted accounts of the attack, saying they were unable to trace it back to its creator. This, according to Raspberry Pi, is due to the attackers using a “SYN flood” to mask their identities. It believes the attacker is likely an “angry and confused kid” who won’t be able to hold up an expensive attack like this for very much longer.
The company is also unable to get in touch with its host given that it is nighttime in the U.K., where Raspberry Pi is based.
The general question on Twitter concerning the DDOS is “Why?” Raspberry Pi creates cheap micro PCs, which has caught the eye of many. Its foundation arm is also focused on bringing computer science education to children and is involved in other charities.
When asked about why it might be a target, Raspberry Pi tweeted, “Well, we *are* horrid, what with our focus on education and charity and everything. Boo to irritating do-gooders.”

We joined forces with Birmingham based communications agency Clarity Comms to create a live social media game show for leading Beer brand Hobgoblin. The show was filmed in front of specially invited live audience in a transformed Highbury Hall and live streamed directly to the brand’s Facebook page.
INTERACTIVE LIVE STREAM
Together with Clarity Comms we handled all aspects of the live show; script development, casting, locations and decor. Method were solely responsible for all the technical elements including internet connectivity, power distribution, staging & lighting. We were delighted to work again with the skilled crew at Urban Audio who provided staging, lighting and audio support throughout the show.
This was a complicated project with numerous challenges we would need to overcome to produce a high end live show. Not least of these was the interactive element which we incorporated into a number of the ‘live’ games. Online viewers were able to play a part in the show through interactions with the host fed directly to him from the team in the gallery. This included choosing competitors to eat at a specially designed ‘Halloween Banquet’. An escape room where online viewers fed the players ‘helps or hinders’. If they failed they would be locked in for the remainder of the show. (They failed!) The venue itself although perfect in many respects to create the look and feel of the fictional ‘Hobgoblin Inn’ was lacking in Infrastructure. With no internet connectivity and nowhere near enough power available to meet our requirements we bought in 4G bonded functionality to ensure we could deliver the livestream and power generators to ensure there were no power cuts!
The Halloween Game Show reached an audience of over 240,000 consumers with over 133,000 views of the show. A further 25,000 fans commented, shared or liked the content. Clarity Comms co-founder Jason Navon commented “We knew the campaign was a strong idea that would depend on the execution. HTF were the perfect choice to help us deliver this innovative project. The results were fantastic and show that brands can create high value content and find strong audiences at a fraction of the cost of traditional media options. We were delighted to work with Clarity to create this fantastic show for Hobgoblin. To the end user it was a fabulous hour of entertainment and results are a testament to the creative expertise across both our agencies.

My task for the Syria Valentine project was to figure out how to get in touch with "the Syrian Revolution." Needless to say I was a little intimidated. Locating and connecting with activists, conveying the project's sentiments, and finding a way to get our words of support to people on the ground was challenging. A week and a half ago, I never would have dreamed we would be able to make such a human connection purely though the internet, social media and email. But just since Amanda's blog was posted yesterday, we have received even more feedback from Syrian activists about our Valentine! The words are so heartfelt that I just had to share it with you.
"Hi Julia... Thanks a lot for all your efforts as well! It was a great experience to go through all those comments of all those great souls. I'm sorry I couldn't contact you earlier than this, but it was difficult for me to send the card yesterday as the internet was really bad and we experienced a 12-hour power cut, believe it or not! As for me, I loved the whole experience and as I mentioned in my blog 'I just want to thank the global spirits who initiated and signed the card. I'm proud of them just as much as they are proud of the Syrian people. I'm also proud of all who can support the Syrian with a feeling, a prayer, a piece of action, or more!' and I want to add that I feel that this is what it's all about as the big word here is COMPASSION...Thanks again Julia, from my heart."

It actually sounds better IMO. Have both in the garage, and at least personally, I like more the refined sound of the HEMI vs the 'motorboat' one of the LSx engine. Inside the car they're similar, but outside, the HEMI wins easily. The Overland with Corsa sounded absolutely incredible. The best V8 exhaust I've heard, and I've heard many expensive ones. Sounds like a modern DOHC V8 rather than a pushrod. The Corvette 'pushrod' sound is unmistakable.
And yes, I hate when magazines compare vehicles costing tens of thousands of dollars more (and even double and more) rather than comparably priced. They might as well test a Ferrari against a Hyundai, and slam the Hyundai as crap. Geez.

A new paper on supernova 1a distance calibration 'The luminosity of supernovae of type Ia from TRGB distances and the value of H_0' - http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.5054 - brings into question the value of Ho. The authors derive a value of H0 = 63.7, considerably below the present accepted value of 73.8 derived from WMAP 7. This value is consistent with that derived by Beutler, et al [67.0] based on the 6dF survey - re: http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.3366. A lower value for Ho, of course, has far reaching implications. The fallout should be interesting.

He added that cashless gaming would be used to get previous a banking hurdle to introduction playing to the island. Automate planning/recommendation facet and introduce banking providers over time. These services are fragmented, arduous to grasp and infrequently costly. The service allows users to interact with and pay different services anonymously, with full control over what knowledge they expose. Every on-line retailer and repair requires us to offer away our private information. One among the problems with growing for Android at this level is that there is not as big of a person pool for Dolphin but; it requires insane hardware, the Android version isn’t as complete in spots, and little bugs like this tend to slip via. The cloud has dangerous UX points and requires expertise or costly assist to use effectively. Fixes points with using hotkeys to disable the framelimiter. This fixes overbloom points in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3 along with other titles.
Our games embody the modern army conflict titles THUNDER RUN: War OF CLANS, FIRESTRIKE and the MARS FRONTIER sci-fi trilogy. Without it, many games will straight up crash in dualcore, equivalent to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. Other games will run utterly desynced; with these titles working at framerates they was by no means meant to run. A very simple, pay as you go hosted resolution that lets you run experiments, track results and affiliate them with code/knowledge versions. Emulated Bluetooth (the former Real Wii Remote emulation technique,) is just not going anyplace and ought to be easier to enhance now that there’s a another technique with better results. Essentially it’s uncovered the constraints of Dolphin’s emulated Wii Bluetooth emulation as pretty limited and buggy whereas at the same time proving that many Bluetooth adapters are capable of handling Wii Remotes when not hampered by Bluetooth stack limitations. There are at the moment some games that do not work with graceful shutdown due to numerous deficiencies in Dolphin’s IOS emulation. Having more capability at executing difficult strategies absolutely by no means harm anyone, and one of the best players of video games that require dexterity normally do have a wealth of it.
While the brick and mortar hallmark casino sign in still respect the identical golden rule and don’t permit the entry of people who should not in possession of large quantities of cash, on-line casinos are open even for people with a median funds. Banking, asset management, brokerage, advice and planning – all personalised and accessed by means of the identical easy platform. Simple and efficient instruments that do not require researchers to be software program builders are needed to make best practice simple. Normally the stencil is saved in a Stencil Buffer, however the GameCube doesn’t have one, so the developers wanted to find another way to retailer the stencil. This makes it simpler for builders to make adjustments; and hopefully will end in a much smoother time growing new options for Android. The result’s that most people don’t or can’t use them. Nonetheless contemplating that people have come to enjoy Dolphin for its means to enhance the games, losing shade precision would make issues look worse in some circumstances. While the pace of recent layoffs has slowed considerably since March, when a document 6.9 million folks filed claims in a single week, the unemployment fee stays astronomically high.
Never go in for high stakes till you might be completely certain of the games and the amount of cash required. In spite of everything, if a player is admittedly so good as to dominate a discipline of obsessed, bloodthirsty opponents, then how may he possibly have the time or vitality to play different video games at a high level, even different comparable games? Some even use it as their most important measure of determining how good another player is: can the player adapt shortly to new situations? If anybody would be good at this, I’d suppose it can be me, but I have typically thought in the again of my thoughts how much easier it could be to lose the subsequent round and be finished, reasonably than to face the upcoming lineup of superstar players. I’d like to emphasize how much easier said than completed this actually is. That is a giant topic, past the scope of this guide, however I’d prefer to contact on it.

Being acquired by a private equity firm is both a stressful and exciting time for the management team of any business. In addition to your traditional duties of actually running a successful company, you will also be called on to keep the deal process moving forward, which is itself a full-time job. And all the while, you will need to strike a careful balance between the expectations of the current and future owners.
In all that chaos, it is easy for some C-level executives to lose sight of the fact that a PE acquisition is, in part, a negotiation about their individual interests as well (which interests may not be perfectly aligned with those of the business owners). In most of these transactions, the management team will be asked to sign employment agreements, equity award documents, and other agreements in connection with the closing. Three common areas of negotiation in these arrangements are...

The 22-year-old has struggled for form & playing time at the Stade Louis II and has been dropped by the Nigerian national team as a result. It’s still early into the new season, but Onyekuru isn’t having the best start to life in France.
The Monaco winger has made four appearances since his move from Everton, making one assist. In Ligue 1, he started in the 3-0 defeat to FC Metz (August 17) and the 2-2 draw with Nimes Olympique (August 25) before being dropped by Leonardo Jardim.
Onyekuru was given just a minute off the bench in the 2-2 draw with RC Strasbourg (September 1), was an unused substitute in the 4-3 defeat to Olympique Marseille (September 15), picked up 15 minutes in 0-0 draw with Reims (September 21) before being left on the bench in the 3-1 win over OGC Nice (September 24).
The Nigerian international has managed only 16 minutes of football for Monaco in the last month. Under Jardim, Gelson Martins, Gil Dias and Keita Balde has been preferred on the wing, but Onyekuru has plenty of time to turn things around.

Some music on the radar, but not yet on the iPod...
I have a feeling Brandi Carlile's new album, The Story, will be a good one. Her debut album was fantastic (as I pointed out last year). Her song, "The Story," was free on iTunes a few weeks back. You can see her video for "The Story," though I like this live version better. Man, what a voice.
I'm entranced by the music of Eluvium. I've been back to their My Space regularly to hear it again. Beautiful. Can't find the CD's in my local stores so I may have to order them. The new one, Copia, is getting great reviews.
Some music I'm loving and will probably post on in the near future: Besnard Lakes, Blonde Redhead, Headlights, Low, Patrick Park, and The Shins.

Two earlier NATO complicated research Institutes (ASI) on berthing and mooring of ships were held; the 1st in Lisboa, Portugal in 1965, and the second one at Wallingford, England in 1973. those ASls have contributed considerably to the lower than status and improvement of fenders and mooring, as have works via Oil businesses foreign Marine discussion board (1978) and PIANC (1984). advancements in send sizes and construction of recent really good terminals at very uncovered destinations have necessitated extra advances within the mixed mooring and fendering know-how. Exploration and exploitation of the continental cabinets have additionally caused new and hard difficulties, advancements and suggestions. Offshore actions and advancements have in fluenced and better wisdom approximately either ships and different floating constructions that are berthed and/or moored less than quite a few environmental stipulations. The scope of this ASI used to be to provide contemporary advances in berth ing and mooring of ships and mooring of floating offshore constructions, concentrating on types and instruments on hand with a view in the direction of defense and aid of frequencies and effects of accidents.

Mathematical modelling is explained in refs. 5,9,10,11,20 and 25. A rational approach based on probabilities was developed based on tests in EUROPORT (1). Fig. 1 shows a 1 in 3,000 probability against displacement dia~ gram (1). It indicates the considerable larger unit energies for smaller vessels. Balfour (1) emphasizes that the results from the PORT OF ROTTERDAM field tests do not necessarily apply to other more exposed ports. But the trend however, is probably general. It is also suggested that the energy value required for a jetty or pier situated in a harbor basin can be read directly off Fig.
It is logical to assume that a proper mooring and fendering system will be able to replace a breakwater - or at least part of it. According to Bruun (4) this was actually done at HADERA, ISRAEL, as mentioned in detail later. This open pier intallation for coal bulkers up to 120,000 DWT has now functioned satisfactorily since 1981. 3 km trestle. As the breakwater had to be located in 24 m depth with wave action up to Hs = 6 m, often arriving at angles with the shore of ± 15 degrees, it became very expensive.

Many accidents have occurred, while the vessel was at the berth. Reports from these accidents describe how fenders contributed to or reinforced oscillating movements of the vessel by "buffeting action". It is apparent from reports and experience that most of the presently available fenders are inadequate, but in varying deqrees.

Copies of David’s novels will be available at the event, with a Book Signing commencing after the talk. David Nicholls is the author of the worldwide phenomenon One Day, and bestselling novels Us, The Understudy and Starter for Ten. His novels have sold over eight million copies worldwide and are published in forty languages. David’s last book, Us, was longlisted for The Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2014. David wrote the screenplay for the film adaptations of his novels One Day, which starred Anne Hathaway and Started for Ten, which starred James McAvoy. David recently won a BAFTA award and was nominated for an Emmy for Patrick Melrose, his adaptation of the novels by Edward St Aubyn, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Sweet Sorrow 'That most rare and coveted of literary feats: a popular novel of serious merit, a bestseller that will also endure.' – Observer. 'Triumph ... the sense of nostalgia is visceral and intense, almost time-bending.' - The Sunday Times. 'Does any writer do nostalgia quite like David Nicholls? His bestseller One Day was partly so adored for the way he captured the feeling of being young, being in love, and being confused. He returns to similarly fertile territory on Sweet Sorrow, only stepping back into teenage years, the writing an ideal blend of the gently humorous and utterly heartfelt. It made me feel like something had swollen up inside my chest, and readers are liable to find their thoughts drifting over their own misspent school holidays or crushingly ardent first loves.' - Holly Williams, The Independent, UK.

Don't look now, but bitcoin has remained over $900 for several days in a row now hitting a high of $921.33 on the dinbits index over the last 24 hours.
It appears as if the profit taking and other activity which caused a dip down into the $800's after hitting a high of over $1000 on New Years day is now stabilizing. Many forecast a large drop in price which didn't solidify while we remain supportive of going long.
The volatility was fantastic for a good portion of January making short trading lucrative but that has also stabilized. However there is still money to be earned with short-term investing or day trading with bitcoin, we just aren't; seeing the drastic margins enjoyed earlier in the month.
There's something to be said for stability.
Bitcoin Outlook 2017
The real question now is when will we see $1000 again and when will that be the number bitcoin is hanging over? It may be sooner than anyone thinks and some forecasts show bitcoin hitting as high as $3000 in 2017.
Here at dinbits, we're going to predict somewhere between $1600 and $1800 or better at some point in 2017, which is a bit more conservative than many estimates, but that's because there's allot of things that will be stabilizing bitcoin in 2017 and allot of bitcoin price will reflect products coming to the market in addition to financial reasons.
Adversely, one prohibitory factor will be failed blockchain projects and startups that have nothing to do with bitcoin or its blockchain. These mention bitcoin in grand fashion when it helps them get the word out, while at the same time they bash bitcoins architecture to promote their own systems.
When these systems don't produce, the mainstream media will drag bitcoin through the mud with any mention of any kind of failed blockchain because they take every chance they get to do so, despite bitcoin's complete lack of involvement in these projects. Thus there will certainly be a ding or two but that won't really hurt anything long term.

Hung up on rudeness
October 10, 2022
Changing communications technology is one of life's never-ending annoyances, and now we have a new agitation: voice messaging.
Voice messaging allows smartphone owners to record their voice and send the recording to others as they would a text or a chat.
According to the Wall Street Journal, some people consider the technique bothersome and rude - a camp I am clearly in, and I'll happily explai...

Name: Yamamoto Genryuusai
Shi-Kai: Ryuujin Jakka
- release command → "Banshou Issai Kaijin To Nase!" ("Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Dust!")
Oldest and strongest heat based zanpakutou. It's fire can burn anything in the soul world.
CHARACTER HISTORY -
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai is the Captain of Soul Society's First Division, often referred to with the title of Captain General. General Yamamoto founded the shinigami academy about 2000 years before the story of Bleach began, and has used it to train many generations of Death Gods. Yamamoto was a teacher at this academy, and personally instructed Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake, both of which would go on to become Captains of the Gotei 13 themselves. Yamamoto admits to being proud of Ukitake and Kyoraku and that when they first became Captains of Soul Society, he boasted about them as though they were his own sons.
During the Soul Society Arc, Yamamoto spends much of the time organizing the other twelve Captains rather than doing things personally, but when Shunsui and Jushiro make the move to stop the execution of Rukia Kuchiki, their former teacher was the one to step up and face both of them on his own. Though appearing feeble and frail, he is perhaps the most powerful Captain of Soul Society, with possible exception to Aizen Sousuke.
At the end of the Arc, he has made peace with Ichigo and his companions, even allowing Orihime passage into Soul Society during her training with Rukia. He stays in contact with Captain Hitsugaya via a communication system set up in Orihime's house, and has his Shinigami fight alongside Ichigo and his companions, even seeking them out while they were still in school.
The embodiment of conviction, Yamamoto follows the laws and regultaions of Soul Society to the letter, and expects the same of others. He is not a man to tolerate insubordination, and is vocal with those who attempt to be such a way. He is wuick to anger in the face of possible betrayal, and appears rather ruthless in combat. When in a state of peace, he carries himself with an air of fragility, even to the point where he has fallen asleep standing while awaiting Shunsui Kyoraku's arrival for a meeting.
Yamamoto possesses a powerful Reiatsu, capable of paralyzing Lieutenant Nanao Ise with a simply look. This later caused her to faint, and she had to be taken a safe distance away from the Captain General simply to regain her ability to breathe. He is also seen to be experienced in the art of Shunpo, though is not quite as fast as Shunsui or Ukitake, possibly due to his age.
His Zanapkutou is the most ancient one in Soul Society, as well as being the most powerful fire type. Ryujin Jakka (Flowing Blade like Flame) is activated by the command "Bansho Issai Kaijin to Nase" (Reduce the whole of creation to smoldering ashes), at which point the blade of the sword is transformed into fire. The aura of this weapon can disintegrate anything that Yamamoto waves the sword at, changing it into nothing more than into ash and engulfing the surrounding landscape in flames. Kyoraku and Ukitake, both high ;level Captains, can resist instant death at the hands of this weapon, but are still being injured by it's presence.

Äänekoski Art Museum
Get to know both an interesting culture person Toivo Parantainen and his art collection and beautiful landscape depictions from Central Finland in Äänekoski Art Museum!
Permanent exhibition presents works of art from art collection of Mr. Toivo Parantainen and Jyväskylä Art Museum. Toivo Parantainen (1921-1994) was a teacher and an art collector. He founded an “art house” to his home, an old school building in Liimattala, Konginkangas. In his home he exhibited not only his own art, but also offered artists exhibition space. “Art house” became later a foundation and management of art collection was shifted to the municipality of Äänekoski.
Permanent exhibition was renewed in 2015 by lending art from Jyväskylä Art Museum. This second part of exhibition presents aquarelles and drawings from Kalle Carlstedt and pieces of graphic art from Erkki Tanttu. Graphic artist Kalle Carlstedt from Sääksmäki travelled several times to Konginkangas in 1910´s, 1930´s and 1940´s to capture landscapes and traditional way of life in Central Finland. In 1947 Carlstedt was accompanied with Erkki Tanttu, remarkable finnish illustrator and graphic artist.
Museum´s temporary exhibitions present wide variety of local art.
Äänekoski Art Museum is situated in an attractive and interesting villa, built in 1900. At first, villa was a home to the family Hammarén, the father being the head of the Äänekoski Mills. Later on, in 1920´s and 1930´s, villa provided apartments for the graduate engineers and their families and in 1950´s and 1960´s it served the forest industry as assembly rooms for important foreign visitors and sociable balls. Villa was renovated in 1970´s as offices for the staff of the mill. In 2004 the municipality of Äänekoski purchased building in order to establish an art museum and to offer appropriate premises for the art collection of Toivo Parantainen. The first exhibition was opened to public in October 2005.

The employees were very friendly and efficient. It was a very busy day and almost everything available was rented when we arrived. The truck we reserved had to be cleaned before we could take it, but thanks to the hard working employees, we were on our way quickly. Returning the truck was very quick and easy too! I would rent from this location again!
dereck g. en
Make sure the back of the truck is swept out. Not all truck damage was marked. Customer service was lacking. I felt like I was just annoying them if I asked more than 1 question.

Great customer service and the rental transaction was accurate and speedy.

The staff gentleman provided me with wonderful service. I'm grateful to him!

The guy who got our trailer off the truck was a very polite and professional guy. A night and day difference from Charles at America's Mailbox. You need more people like him at your locations.

Nothing . 10 stars all around.

They do not run normal business hours Monday through Friday. They closed early and I could not pick up my trailer. I was changed to this location from my requested one with a later pock up time(within normal business hours).
John B. en
Not in the same league as the pick up location.
Mike J. en
Van was dirty inside. Dirty flooring and child’s dirty sock. Passenger seat covered in dog hair. Dirty can floor wells. When I called dealer to let him know I had to spend an hour cleaning the van before I could load it he basically brushed me off and gave me an 800 number to call and log a complaint. He made no apology for condition of the van or offered any other support.

Keep up the good work. Friendly customer service and helpful

The auto dolly literally fell apart as we drove across the country. Lost over half a day worth of time and then had to turn in the dolly for a new one. Will never use U Hual again.

Quick drop off, friendly staff.

Waited 30 minutes inside with no uhaul employee to help us or the other customers inside. When they finally showed up, both employees were checking in the same customer which made the wait even longer.
LISA D. en
Staff was incredibly nice, polite and helpful. We rented a motorcycle trailer and the bike leaked oil. Upon returning, we were ready to clean the spill and Lisa said don't worry about it, I will take care of it for you. Will rent again from this location.
Cody V. en
Friendly and helpful....been there multiple times!
CYNTHIA E. en
Both employees were friendly, professional and great to work with!
Noah R. en
U-Haul needs to address their system of renting through smaller local offices. The fact that what customers reserve online doesn’t relate to what is actually available at the location puts undo pressure and chaotic confusion on the local vendors. U-Haul is the grandaddy, you have the money, your system should be the best. Please restructure your ability to have a real-time data base that connects all offices and branches so local vendors don’t bear the brunt of a dysfunctional system. The guys at the E Mulberry office in Ft Collins we’re doing their best with their hands tied, they deserve better.
Debora B. en
office being remodeled and it was unorganizaed. parking lot is full of pot holes and mud. other than that- everything good.

WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center
ADMINISTRATIVE PANEL DECISION
Jack Brabham Engines Limited v. Sixstroke Engine Developments Pty Limited
Case No. D2007-0292
1. The Parties
The Complainant is Jack Brabham Engines Limited, Queensland, Australia, represented by Gail Casey, Australia.
The Respondent is Sixstroke Engine Developments Pty Limited, Victoria, Australia, represented by Matt Pini, Pini Patent and Trademark Attorneys, Australia.
2. The Domain Names and Registrars
The disputed domain name <sixstroke.com> is registered with Intercosmos Media Group d/b/a directNIC.com and the domain names, < sixstroke.net>, <sixstrokeenginedevelopments.com>, <bearehead.com> and <bearetechnologies.com> are registered with Melbourne IT trading as Internet Names Worldwide.
3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the “Center”) on February 28, 2007. On March 2, 2007, the Center transmitted by email to Intercosmos Media Group d/b/a directNIC.com and Melbourne IT trading as Internet Names Worldwide a request for registrar verification in connection with the domain names at issue. On March 2, 2007, Intercosmos Media Group d/b/a directNIC.com transmitted by facsimile to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant of the domain name <sixstroke.com> and providing the contact details for the administrative and technical contact. On March 5, 2007, Melbourne IT trading as Internet Names Worldwide transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant of the domain names <sixstroke.net>, <sixstrokeenginedevelopments.com>, <bearehead.com>and <bearetechnologies.com> and providing the contact details for the administrative and technical contact. The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Policy”), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Rules”), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Supplemental Rules”).
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on March 7, 2007. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was March 27, 2007. The Response was filed with the Center on March 27, 2007.
The Center appointed The Honourable Neil Anthony Brown QC, James A. Barker and Philip N. Argy as panelists in this matter on April 11, 2007. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. Each member of the Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
4. Factual Background
The Complainant is a company incorporated under the laws of Australia.
The Respondent is a company incorporated under the laws of Australia.
5. Parties’ Contentions
The following is summarized from the Complaint and, in some cases, inferred from statements made in the Complaint.
The Complainant alleges that the domain names <sixstroke.com>, <sixstroke.net>, <sixstrokeenginedevelopments.com>, <bearehead.com>and <bearetechnologies.com> should no longer be registered with the Respondent but that they should be transferred to the Complainant. It contends that this should be done because, within the meaning of paragraph 4 of the Policy, the domain names are confusingly similar to the Complainant’s SIXSTROKE and BEAREHEAD trademarks, that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain names and that the domain names have been registered and subsequently used in bad faith. The Complainant maintains that it can prove all three of these requirements and that the appropriate remedy is to transfer the domain names to the Complainant.
In support of its case on the first of these three elements, the Complainant contends that it has unregistered trademarks in SIXSTROKE and BEAREHEAD, that the domain names <sixstroke.com> and <sixstroke.net> are self-evidently identical to the trademark SIXSTROKE, that the domain name <sixstrokeenginedevelopments.com> is confusingly similar to that trademark, that the domain name <bearehead.com> is identical to the trademark BEAREHEAD and that the domain name <bearetechnologies.com> is confusingly similar to it.
The Complainant then contends, to establish the second element, that there has been a history of commercial dealings between the Complainant and various other parties associated with both the Complainant and the Respondent concerning the development of a particular type of engine technology generally referred to as the Beare Head six stroke engine. This history has given rise to some disputes which remain unresolved. The Complainant contends that one result of the dealings between the parties is that the Complainant owns ‘the intellectual property and all rights’ to the technology. However, the Respondent, it claims, has wrongly asserted the right to register the disputed domain names and use them to promote the technology and the claims of other competing parties to the ownership of the technology. The Complainant contends that on a proper interpretation of the facts the Respondent has no such right or interest in the domain names.
Finally, the Complainant contends that the domain names were registered and are being used in bad faith. It contends that this is so because the Respondent’s conduct in registering and using the domain names to display and promote the alleged rights of other parties to the technology and to make other claims is calculated to cause confusion among the Complainant’s present and future shareholders and among the public.
The Complainant also contends that the Respondent and those associated with it are using the website linked to the disputed domain names to make inflated and misleading claims about the efficiency of the technology and other false claims which the Complainant cannot rectify as it has no control over the content of those sites.
The Respondent contends that, as the Complainant has not shown a registered trademark or service mark on which to base the proceeding, it is required to show an unregistered trademark or service mark and the evidence adduced by the Complainant has not established any such interest.
The Respondent then contends that the Respondent has a right or legitimate interest in the domain names. This right or interest is said to arise from the fact that Malcolm Beare, a shareholder of the Respondent, used or made demonstrable preparations to use the domain names for a bona fide offering of goods and services before receiving notice of the current dispute. Accordingly, it is contended, the matter comes within paragraph 4(c)(i) of the Policy.
The Respondent also contends that the Respondent has been and is commonly known by the domain names by virtue of the fact that its shareholder Mr. Beare has been and is so commonly known, thus bring the matter within paragraph 4(c)(ii) of the Policy.
Thirdly, the Respondent denies that it registered or has used the domain names in bad faith and that none of the criteria set out in paragraph 4(b) of the Policy can be made out. On the contrary, it contends, its activities have been meritorious, as the Complainant has abandoned its duty to develop the Beare Head and Sixstroke technology, leaving this burden to be assumed by interests associated with the Respondent in forming the Respondent company and registering the disputed domain names.
Supplemental Filing on behalf of the Complainant
The Panel has considered correspondence between the parties and the Center concerning a Supplemental Filing on behalf of the Complainant. In the exercise of its discretion, the Panel is of the opinion that this is not an appropriate proceeding to have regard to any submissions other than the Complaint and the Response.
6. Discussion and Findings
Paragraph 15(a) of the Rules instructs this Panel to “decide a complaint on the basis of the statements and documents submitted in accordance with the Policy, these Rules and any rules and principles of law that it deems applicable.”
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy requires that the Complainant must prove each of the following three elements to obtain an order that a domain name should be cancelled or transferred:
(1) the domain name registered by the Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and
(2) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(3) the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
The Panel will therefore deal with each of these requirements in turn.
A. Identical or Confusingly Similar
For the Complainant to succeed it must first establish that there is a trademark or service mark in which it has rights. That is clear from the terms of the Policy.
It is here that the first problem arises in the present case, for the Complainant has not adduced any evidence at all to show that it has a registered trademark or service mark to which the domain names are identical or with which they are confusingly similar.
The Panel, however, assumes that the Complainant means to contend that it has unregistered trademarks sufficient to support its claim. The question then is whether an unregistered or common law trademark is sufficient to give the Complainant standing to bring a UDRP complaint.
The answer to this question is that it is now well established that the Policy protects rights in unregistered trademarks: for example, see: Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd. v. Steven S. Lafwani, WIPO Case No. D2000-0014, SeekAmerica Networks Inc. v. Tariq Masood, WIPO Case No. D2000-0131 and the cases cited by the Complainant, Brisbane City Council v.Warren Bolton Consulting Pty Ltd, WIPO Case No. D2001-0047 and Imperial College v. Christopher Dessimoz, WIPO Case No. D2004-0322.
The next question is what evidence will a panel expect to find before it is able to conclude that the evidence establishes the existence of an unregistered trademark?
The answer to this question is to be found in the WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions which says:
‘1.7 What needs to be shown for the complainant to successfully assert common-law or unregistered trademark rights?
Consensus view: The complainant must show that the name has become a distinctive identifier associated with the complainant or its goods and services. Relevant evidence of such “ secondary meaning” includes length and amount of sales under the mark, the nature and extent of advertising, consumer surveys and media recognition. The fact that the secondary meaning may only exist in a small geographic area does not limit complainant’s rights in a common law trademark. Unregistered rights can arise even when the complainant is based in a civil law jurisdiction.
Uitgeverij Crux v. W. Frederic Isler WIPO Case No. D2000-0575, Transfer
Skattedirektoratet v. Eivind Nag WIPO Case No. D2000-1314 Transfer
Amsec Enterprises, L.C. v. Sharon McCall WIPO Case No. D2001-0083, Denied
Australian Trade Commission v. Matthew Reader WIPO Case No. D2002-0786, Transfer.’
There are other decisions to the same effect such as: UK Betting PLC v. Oldfield, WIPO Case No. D2005-0637 and Ticket Specialist Inc. v. hubshift, FA. 575616 (Nat. Arb. Forum, December 5, 2005) where the three panelists said:
‘…to succeed in a Complaint under the Policy in relation to an unregistered mark, it is necessary for Complainant to prove that it has, through use, acquired secondary meaning, i.e. a reputation such that members of the public associate those goods or services solely with Complainant or its licensees. British Heart Foundation v. Meyer, AF-0957 (eResolution August 22, 2001)’.
It is then necessary to consider all of the evidence and apply it to the words that are said by the Complainant to constitute the unregistered trademark.
In the present case, the Panel finds that the Complainant has established, to paraphrase the words of the Overview, that the names BEARE and BEAREHEAD have plausibly become a distinctive identifier associated with the Complainant or its goods and services. That is so for the following reasons.
Although there is a dispute between the parties and others associated with them as to the ownership of technology referred to widely as Beare and Beare Head, it is common ground that those names have been used in connection with it. Moreover, the names have been associated with the use of the technology in producing specific engines and parts of engine technology. The goods and services associated with the technology are essentially commercial in the sense that the objective of all concerned seems to have been to have the technology adopted and to encourage the sale of products that use it. Thus, the Complainant’s promotional literature which is Exhibit H to the Complaint specifically refers to ‘The Beare Head and its associated technologies’, describes it in detail, appears to invite investors to ‘ participate in our future success…’ and solicits contact from ‘investors, suppliers and partners’. Above all, the literature promotes the technology as being a product of the Complainant.
The matter is not entirely free from doubt and, as will have to be said on several occasions in the course of this decision, UDRP proceedings are an inappropriate and inadequate means of resolving disputes as to complex and contested matters of fact and the current issue may well turn out to be one such disputed matter. Accordingly, a different result might be reached after a proper forensic examination and testing of all of the evidence.
However, the Panel is of the opinion that, on the balance of probabilities and on the material put before it, the Complainant has just barely made out a case for an unregistered trademark in BEARE and BEAREHEAD.
The same however, cannot be said for the apparent claim that the Complainant has unregistered trademarks in SIXSTROKE. That is so because the expression “six stroke” is a combination of two generic words and in such cases it is more difficult to make out a case for an unregistered trademark.
The difficulties involved in resolving such issues were set out in Deutsche Post AG v. NJDomains WIPO Case No. D2006-0001 where the panel said:
‘The Complainant however has two obstacles in its way in establishing that it has or at any time has had an unregistered trademark in the name ‘Post’.
The first obstacle is that set out in one of the postal cases already referred to, namely: Postecom spa v. smartphone sa (supra) where the issue was whether the complainant had established an unregistered trademark in <poste.biz>. The panel said:
“Complainant …has not established that POSTE is a distinctive mark. The Panel finds the word POSTE is a generic term used in several languages with different meanings. Therefore, POSTE is incapable of acting as a common law trademark without a showing of significant secondary meaning.” See SOCCERPLEX, INC. v. NBA Inc., File No. FA 94361 (Nat. Arb. Forum May 25, 2000) (finding that the Complainant failed to show that it should be granted exclusive use of the domain name <Soccerzone.com>, as it contains two generic terms and is not exclusively associated with its business); Rollerblade, Inc v. CBNO, WIPO Case No. D2000-0427 (August 24, 2000) (finding that “genericness, if established, will defeat a claim of trademark rights, even in a mark which is the subject of an incontestable registration”) …
Secondly, there is no evidence showing that the word ‘Post’ has come to be identified with the Complainant and its business…(T)o establish a common law trademark, which will in effect deny all other users, the use of a generic word on the internet, a complainant must establish far more than that, especially in an industry that is international and where the use is to be by a medium that is itself international, namely the internet.… In this case, there is no evidence to that effect and the evidence falls far short of those requirements …’
Those remarks are applicable in several ways to the present case. First, the expression “six stroke” is clearly made up of two generic words and even in combination they might be used to refer to a wide variety of goods and services that have nothing to do with the so-called six stroke engine and a Google search shows some 6 million references to the expression. As a corollary, there is no evidence to show that the expression has taken on a significant secondary meaning associated with engines. Moreover, there is no compelling evidence showing that the expression “six stroke” has come to be distinctly identified with the Complainant and its business.
Exhibit H to the Complaint, which seems to be the main promotion of the Complainant, repeatedly refers to its product as The Beare Head, not the Six Stroke and uses the latter term only in the expression ‘Termed a six-stroke due to …( the description which is then given)’. That explanation of the term would seem to suggest that the Complainant itself regards the term not as the product’s name but as a description of it, in the same way that a motor car manufacturer would describe its products as ‘motor cars’. Certainly, there is no sign of any attempt by the Complainant to appropriate the name Six Stroke to itself.
For all of these reasons the Panel finds that the Complainant has not made out a case for an unregistered trademark in the expression Six Stroke.
Again, it must be said that a different conclusion might be reached after a proper forensic examination of all of the evidence.
Accordingly, the Panel finds that the domain name <bearehead.com> is identical to the unregistered trademark BEAREHEAD in which the Complainant has rights, as the two expressions are themselves identical.
The Panel finds that the domain name <bearetechnologies.com> is confusingly similar to the unregistered trademark BEARE in which the Complainant has rights, as the BEARE mark is associated solely with technology and invoking the name BEARE inevitably invokes the technology associated with it, to the extent that the consumer could well be confused as to whether the domain name is referring to the same goods and services as the trademark.
The Panel finds that the domain names <sixstroke.com>, <sixstroke.net>, <sixstrokeenginedevelopments.com> are not identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights.
(iii) Rights or Legitimate Interests
Under paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy, the Complainant has the burden of establishing that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the two disputed domain names remaining for consideration.
But by virtue of paragraph 4© of the Policy, it is open to a respondent to establish its rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain names, among other circumstances, by showing any of the following elements:
(i) before any notice to you [Respondent] of the dispute, your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or
(ii) you [Respondent] (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if you have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) you [Respondent] are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.
Thus, if the Respondent proves any of these elements or indeed anything else that shows it has a right or interest in the disputed domain name it will have established, Complainant will have failed to discharge its onus and the Complaint will fail.
But at all times the onus remains on the Complainant to satisfy the Panel that on the balance of probabilities the evidence shows that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain names.
The Panel concludes that the Complainant has failed to establish that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the two remaining disputed domain names. That is so for the following reasons.
The essence of the case relied on by the Complainant appears to be, first, that there has been a history of commercial dealings between the Complainant and various other parties associated with both the Complainant and the Respondent concerning the development of a particular type of engine technology generally referred to as the Beare Head six stroke engine.
It appears that Mr. Malcolm Beare had a major part in the development of this technology and that he subsequently became a shareholder and a director of the Complainant for its further exploitation. However, over time, the relationship gave rise to some disputes which remain unresolved and in the course of these disputes Mr. Beare resigned his position as a director.
The Complainant contends that one result of the dealings between the parties is that the Complainant now owns ‘the intellectual property and all rights’ to the technology and that consequently neither Mr. Beare nor the Respondent have any ownership of them. However, the Respondent, it claims, has wrongly asserted the right to register the disputed domain names and use them to promote the technology and the claims of other competing parties to the ownership of the technology. Thus, the Complainant says that:
“ It is to be noted that Malcolm Beare has not paid a financial consideration for his 30% shareholding in the company and now purports to own the technology outright at “www.sixstroke.com” and is identified by a photo and the Australian flag.”
The Complainant contends that on a proper interpretation of the facts set out in the Complaint and in several legal documents annexed to the Complaint, the Respondent “…has no ownership, patents or right, title or interest in the technology to support any identified domain names…” and can be shown to have no rights or interests in them.
To this the Respondent contends that it has a right or legitimate interest in the domain names. This right or interest is said to arise from the fact that Mr. Beare, in his capacity as a shareholder of the Respondent, used or made demonstrable preparations to use the domain names for a bona fide offering of goods and services before receiving notice of the current dispute. Accordingly, it is contended, the matter comes within paragraph 4(c)(i) of the Policy.
The Respondent also contends that the Respondent has been and is commonly known by the domain names by virtue of the fact that its shareholder Mr. Beare has been and is so known, thus bring the matter within paragraph 4©(ii) of the Policy.
The Respondent also maintains that Mr. Beare resigned his directorship because he became ‘disillusioned with a lack of progress in the development of his technical achievements and resigned as a Director of the Complainant in around late 2005 and that Mr. Beare and an associate formed the Respondent company “which has as its aims to be a vehicle for furthering the development of Malcolm Beare’s innovations.”
In support of this case, the Respondent, like the Complainant, has annexed a series of legal agreements that it maintains support its case.
The Panel’s task is to take all of this evidence into account and decide if on the balance of probabilities it shows that the Respondent has ‘no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain names’ in question. The Panel’s view is that it is impossible to say that the evidence shows the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the two domain names in question. That is so because the evidence properly presented and analysed may show that the Respondent does in fact have such a right or interest, either because the facts bring the case within one of the provisions of paragraph 4© of the Policy or because it shows that in a more general sense the Respondent has a right or interest in the domain names. In other words, in this particular case as things stand at present on the evidence, it is impossible to say that the Respondent could have no arguably relevant rights or interests at all, based on its historical role in the evolution of the technology and the evidence and arguments set out in the Response.
The resolution of such an arguable issue can be made only by a Court or other tribunal in proceedings where evidence can be given by witnesses who are subject to cross-examination and where discovery and interrogatories can further elicit the true intentions of the parties and the significance of what they said and did during the course of the commercial dealings between them and the disputes between them which are clearly still extant.
Moreover, the rights and wrongs of this whole matter will be able to be determined only after argument on the proper interpretation and meaning of the documents and agreements appended to the Complaint and the Response.
Only by such means will it be possible to conclude whether the parties associated with the Respondent have an interest in the technology that justify their registration and use of the domain names. At the moment, the parties are at loggerheads, there are arguments as to the meaning and effect of the documents appended to the Complaint and Response and there are allegations of lying. In those circumstances it would be clearly unjust to the Respondent and outside the proper role of the Panel to reach a final conclusion on this issue.
It has been said on many occasions that UDRP proceedings such as the present, encompassed as they are by the strict limitations of the ICANN Policy and without the assistance of oral evidence, cross-examination, discovery, interrogatories and argument, are singularly inappropriate to answer these sorts of questions: see for example Edward G. Linskey Jr. v. Brian Valentine WIPO Case No. D2006-0706 and the cases cited there. All that the Panel can do on this occasion is determine if it is clear on balance that there is no right or interest on the part of the Respondent in the domain names. The difficulty in reaching that conclusion at this juncture is that the Respondent does not have to establish a better right than the Complainant. It need establish only that it has some right even if it is an inconclusive one and on the facts of the present case it is at least arguable that there is evidence sufficient to establish this element.
Moreover, although it would be unwise and unhelpful for the Panel to make any further comments about the merits of the case, it is appropriate to say that on a proper presentation, the case may well turn out to be one more related to contractual and patent issues rather than a case strictly concerned with the Policy on domain names.
Accordingly, the Complainant has failed in the present proceeding to discharge its onus of establishing that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain names <bearehead.com> and <bearetechnologies.com>.
The Complainant has therefore failed to make out the second of the three elements that it must establish.
C. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
In view of the foregoing findings, the Complainant cannot make good an allegation of bad faith.
For all the foregoing reasons, the Complaint is denied.

Visionaries wait for technology to catch up to them.
Such is the case with Memory Infinite, a link drive that has a male plug at one end and a female plug at the other end, allowing you to hook up a presumably infinite number of USB drives and expand your memory in an infinite direction. The drives come in fun colors and are Slinky-like so they bend into tiny horseshoes or circles.
If you’re really hot to trot about holding a bevy of these in your hands, you should know that they are definitely form over function. You’ll have to have infinite patience as you wait for USB 3.0, which might just allow the concept of memory scaling up. Still, RAID wasn’t built in a day, either.

[VIDEO] Exposing the ‘Ruling Class’ Behind Border Policy Uproar: ‘Their Goal Is To Change Your Country Forever’Posted: June 20, 2018 | |
Tucker Carlson on Monday blasted the “self-righteous posturing” of politicians and media figures eager to condemn the Trump administration for its border policy.
Before playing a clip of examples, Carlson began the segment by calling the “spectacle of illegal immigrants separated from their children at the border,” an “event in which the elites vie to see who can reach greater heights of rhetorical excess and self-righteous posturing,” rather than a news story.
“So, the same people who support the third term post-viability abortion for purposes of sex selection are now lecturing you about God and sin and the holiness of children. Feel chastened?” Carlson asked sardonically before launching into a few more examples, including Michael Hayden’s comparison of the border situation to Nazi Germany.
“We could go on,” The Daily Caller co-founder said. “There was so much more just like that. The rich and powerful reminding you just how virtuous they are. Do you think any of these people really care about family separation? If they did, they would be worried about the collapse of the American family, which is measurable and real, but they are not worried about that. In fact, they welcome that collapse, because strong families are an impediment to their political power. That’s why they are always lecturing you about the patriarchy and the evil of the American family.” … (read more)

Have you ever heard this term “it is usually what exactly the item is”? What exactly may of which term indicate accurately?
Previous to When i grasped this greater significance in this term, When i imagined a emaciated yogi wizard from the lotus location hanging preceding the earth imperiously imparting information that may carry historians many lifetimes to help understand. Since the way it is the past lifetime we know along with the lotus location could fit everyone with footing, When i believed of which visiting this Training With Wonderful things could guide everyone simplify it is significance.

About the Artist
Cissy & Flo Designs is about Art & Fashion, with the emphasis on creating something distinctively different.
Cissy & Flo Designs is the creation of Saana Bourne a self-taught artist from Melbourne, with a life-long passion for being creative and launched her small business in 2020. She dabbles in everything from painting to digital art, textile prints and has even launched her own fashion label.
The fashion label is a slow-fashion brand, advocating femininity & a striking style using quality fabrics and bold original prints that appeal to women who dress to stand out and be remembered. The garments reflect a classic style for flattering silhouettes and the designs are cut and suited to a petite sizing starting at size 6 and up to 14. Everything in the process is exclusively designed by Cissy & Flo, from the print design to the garment design.
Cissy & Flo Art includes original paintings, digital artwork and textile prints.
Saana’s painting style is based on ‘Intuitive Art’ which can often start without a plan, but with time and numerous layers of colour and markings on the canvas, the painting begins to emerge.
Digital prints are also created from the original paintings which are then taken on a new direction and given a whole new look. So, it is not simply a photo of the original painting, it is another whole piece of artwork again, which can take days to complete.
Other styles of digital artwork produced vary from either a complete new original artwork, or a collage or digital mediums or reworking a photo.
With her love of bold colours and floral prints, Saana’s textile prints are typically full of lots of colour, linework and detail and she puts heart and soul into producing beautiful prints.
The brand Cissy & Flo is a tribute to 2 great aunts. Cissy was sweet and always made people smile, whilst Flo was stylish and elegant. Both were incredibly strong and independent but sincere. Their values and styles reflect the brand.
In addition, Cissy & Flo has trademarked the statement ‘Be Your Own Woman’. Not only does this statement reflect the Cissy & Flo brand, but it underpins the brand’s intention of ensuring women are supported and nurtured. A percentage of sales relating to the ‘Be Your Own Woman’ campaigns will be given to specifically selected groups and charities that are exclusively designed to support women in need.

School board members earn highest designation from TASB
July 6, 2012 at 2:06 a.m.
Updated July 14, 2012 at 2:14 a.m.
Two Victoria County school board members earned the designation of master trustee after completing the Texas Association of School Board's leadership program.
Estella De Los Santos, Victoria school board secretary, and John Cranfill, Bloomington school board president, are part of more than 700 school board members across the state who have received the in-depth training on every facet of effective board governance.
Along with the TASB's Summer Leadership program in San Antonio, they also heard keynote addresses from renowned education experts and picked up ideas from district showcases and networking opportunities.
School board members in the 2011-12 Leadership TASB class made presentations of their team's findings following year-long research. Class participants selected topics related to nontraditional approaches to challenges in today's educational enterprises. Their research focused on topics that included college readiness, student health, board leadership, funding inequities, 21st century classroom adaptations, and parental involvement.
The 2012 Leadership TASB class, composed of 31 school board members, represents school districts of all sizes and property wealth. Participants who completed all required elements of the study program earned master trustee status, the highest designation recognized by TASB.
TASB is a voluntary, nonprofit association established in 1949 to serve local Texas school districts. School board members are the largest group of publicly elected officials in the state. The districts they represent serve more than 4.9 million public school students.

Some of the Best Xbox Live Games
3D FPS Multiplayer
Battlefield 1943, 1200, $15
It's battlefield 1943 with up to 24 players. It's one of the top rated games, so you can't go wrong with this one.
Braid, 1200, $15
If you love platforming and games that make you think, then give Braid a try.
Portal Still Alive, 1200, $15
It's Portal; It's awesome.
Side Scroll Adventure--think Metroid
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, 800, $10
Do you like Castlevania? If you've never played a Castlevania game, then you should start now with this one.
Shadow Complex, 1200, $15
I haven't played this game yet, but it is highly rated and is said to be the Metroid of our time. That was enough to sell me, so I will be buying it.
UNO, 400, $5
It is faithfully UNO with tons of live players to play against online.
Vertical Scrollers (Shooters)
Ikaruga, 800, $10
So, you blast away spaceships, but there is a twist. You can switch your ship from black to white, which allows you to phase through black or white bullets respectively. This gimmick adds a whole level of strategy not found in other games like it. It's one of the best shooters of all time, period.
Wolf of the Battle Field: Commando 3, 800, $10
As I said before, great game.
Biology Battle, 240, $3 (Indie)
Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2, 800, $10
That is my list of the best live arcade games, of which there are more; though, these should keep you busy for a while.

I recently saw and heard the interview Hudson County Democratic Organization (HCDO) Chairman Vincent Prieto gave to Hudson County TV (Hudsoncountytv.com) and frankly, his comments as to why I was not entrusted with the Democratic line contributes to what has been plaguing the HCDO for so many years and supports what I have been saying.
What ever happened to the kind of “Leadership” where one LISTENS TO THE PEOPLE? Think about this for a moment; The Chairman of the HCDO listening too and supporting Mayor Roque of WNY whom we all know has done everything possible to destroy the integrity of the words Democrat, Politics, Integrity, and “FOR THE PEOPLE!” Furthermore, this same Mayor Roque has presented a candidate to represent the residents of District 7 that agrees and supports with the Mayor’s every action and decision – just look at her voting record and if that’s not enough, watch her actions as she totally disregards the very people she professes to represent. You may see her uncomplimentary actions taken at the February Town Commission Meeting on Hudson County TV or on www.wakeupwestnewyork.com. The people of District 7 and Hudson County deserve better, much better.
I have nothing personal against Chairman Prieto. I do however believe his decision to foster support for anyone associated with WNY Mayor Felix Roque and his supporters is absolutely wrong politically and ethically. The people deserve quality representation not the kind that Roque and his puppet group have given to the residents of WNY by appointing inexperienced family members to important town boards, giving high paying political patronage jobs to unqualified friends within his group, wasting taxpayer money on unwarranted hires and the list goes on all the way to the State Investigating the BOE and listing their findings which involve Mayor Roque once again.
If my attempt to bring pride back Political Integrity back to our Party and by doing what is right for the residents is not what the Political Machine wants, I will not apologize. As I said before and I will say this throughout the upcoming election, “You the voter will decide as to whether you want the Democratic Party to rid itself of people like Roque who are an embarrassment to the Party and to the people OR whether you want your representative to stand up for you and fight for what is right at whatever the cost” This decision will be yours and only yours to make.

From the “Bread and Circuses” approach of those seeking office in ancient Rome, to Napoleon’s creation of a press office called “The Bureau of Public Opinion,” politicians have never been shy about molding favorable opinions of themselves through mass communication.
But it wasn’t until the 1950s that political parties started to bring in advertising agencies and consultants. The New York World Telegram, describing the 1950 Congressional campaign, ran a headline, "THE HUCKSTERS TAKE OVER THE GOP CAMPAIGN."
Saying that, politicians were using the same techniques employed to sell autos, bath salts and lawn mowers.
The last election not influenced by the adverati was in 1948. Dewey was expected to win in a landslide. 50 out of 50 top political pundits predicted Truman was toast. But "Give 'em Hell, Harry" in those pre-interstate highway days took to the rails, travelling over 30,000 miles, speaking to more than 15 million people.
His re-election ranks as the greatest upset in political history and was the last hurrah for a style of campaigning which no longer exists. Interestingly, Rosser Reeves, of USP fame, tried to persuade Dewey to make some TV spots, but Dewey refused, considering this to be undignified.
Reeves finally got his way with Eisenhower in 1952. His “Eisenhower Answers America” effort is the first example of the significant use of TV ads in politics. He wrote 60 second spots featuring “men on the street” asking soft, pre-recorded questions of the candidate. He then had a reluctant Eisenhower—who is reputed to have said, “To think an old soldier would come to this”—crash out equally well-scripted answers.
Things started to improve in 1964, when the Democrats were smart enough to hire Doyle, Dane, Bernbach, who recognized that voters could be reached by making an emotional appeal suited to Lyndon Johnson’s campaign, reminding them of the administration's work fighting poverty and providing Medicare, whilst capitalizing on the fear that LBJ’s opponent, Barry Goldwater, would fight the cold war with nuclear weapons.
This is regarded as one of the best political campaigns ever, and included the famous "Daisy" TV ad, with the little girl counting flower petals accompanied by a countdown ending in an atomic mushroom cloud.
However, today virtually all political advertising is produced by political consultants, who may be independent, or part of an agency dedicated to political and advocacy accounts. The days when agencies such as DDB worked on Presidential campaigns are long gone. What we have now is formulaic advertising based on rigidly tested and word-smithed concepts that hammer away at one or two points the consultants have decided in their Machiavellian wisdom will have the most impact.
Most of the TV spots are either archive video clips of the candidate delivering a twenty second version of his/her two-minute stump speech, clips of the candidate’s opponent with running titles showing how he/she voted to bring back slavery, or increase taxes by 2,000%.
Others show “concerned citizens” terrified that the candidate’s opponent will turn the country into either North Korea or Las Vegas. Inevitably, each candidate’s advertising ends up being a carbon copy of their competitions.
Today, few ad agencies seek the accounts of political candidates, as they are usually the most difficult clients you could possibly deal with, the schedules are crazy, you have to get signoffs from just about everyone on their staff, and 99 percent of the people who run for public office are insufferable, raging egomaniacs…
But perhaps, even more tellingly, the reason agencies shy away from political accounts is that if the candidate fails to win the election, there’s a pretty good chance they will not get paid. This is why virtually all media companies who run political advertising expect to get paid up-front; otherwise, they won’t run the ad.
Personally, I think that political advertising serves as a perfect example of what is wrong with advertising in general… It costs an arm and a leg, there’s altogether too much of it, and it’s increasingly becoming less and less effective.
However, if you’ve got a few million to spend in your quest for the office of County Dog Catcher… Give me a call.

- How many unread books do you have in your house, right now? (Your own books, that is--not ones that belong to other family members--and not counting things like school books, if you have them.) Clearly, an estimate will do. Reply here
- To the best of your recollection, what is the OLDEST unread book in your collection? How long has it been waiting? Reply here
- Do your TBR books (that's "To Be Read," if you didn't know) haunt you, make you feel guilty that you haven't read them yet? Reply here
1. OMG! Going just with the "fun stuff" that's right next to me as opposed to the vast majority of fun stuff which is getting stored.... I'd have to say 400.
2. Oldest as in time spent on my shelf .... well the obvious winner would be my Bible, but it's not like that is going anywhere. Second would be a couple collections of Emily Dickinson which I've hauled around for 25-ish years, but they aren't leaving either. So, coming in third is probably Fritz Leiber's Ill Met at Lankhmar which I've had for 10 or so years.
3. My books don't bother with merely "haunting," they *taunt* me. They also specialize in sweetly staring at me in an accusatory manner. They are especially good at guilt trips. But, when it comes to series, I am happy having at least 2-3 hanging out waiting for me because I dread "running out" of a good thing.
Reading finish: Tony Hillerman's The Fallen Man -- wonderful as usual.
Currently reading: Terry Pratchett's The Fifth Elephant -- well, duh, of course it's great
Bought last night: Hillerman's Shapeshifter and Hunting Badger and Rex Stout's The Rubber Band

Sarah Jessica Parker Upon Which ‘Sex And the populous city’ Character She Pertains To & Film Fashion Strategies
Within just a couple of weeks, “Sex plus the City 2” will strike theatres to your pleasure of fans throughout the world and there was clearly no further fabulous means to interview Sarah Jessica Parker than in a carriage trip around Central Park.
Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush’s ride with SJP within the carriage might have celebrated her character, Carrie Bradshaw’s, favorite town – New York, however in “SATC2” the ladies travel all of the way to Abu Dhabi. Filmed in Morocco over six days, Sarah Jessica stated the experience had been magical.
“This film had been a really experience that is special” she told Billy. “It ended up being the only real and very first time that the four of us have actually ever endured the possibility to call home together. We can’t imagine having been here with anybody else and then we came away I think actually loving one another in a completely brand new means. as a result more close than we’ve ever been and once you understand each other many”
Additionally they surely got to know a whole lot about life abroad – including NYC’s carriage equivalent when you look at the Middle East – a camel.
“I loved being in the camels. I liked it therefore much,” SJP laughed. “I think perhaps we liked it a lot more than anyone else.”
The visit to the center East within the movie comes in the same way Carrie, the previous ultimate single woman, is navigating life 2 yrs after marrying Mr. Big (AKA John James Prescott, played by Chris Noth).

Bangkok braced for more unrest
The Thai capital braced today for more unrest after the government rejected a peace overture from anti-government protesters offering to end increasingly violent protests in return for early polls.
The red-shirted supporters of ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra said they feared an imminent crackdown, and their leaders threatened more aggressive measures after rescinding an offer to end the protests if the government called elections in 30 days.
The stalemate rekindled fears of more unrest and a heavier toll on Southeast Asia's second-biggest economy as more retailers shut their doors and tourist numbers dwindle.
About 500 kilometres north of Bangkok, hundreds of "red shirts" formed a roadblock in northeastern Udon Thani province and stopped a convoy of 150 police from heading to Bangkok to strengthen security operations, a local official said.
The police retreated but the red shirts continued to block the road, the official said, raising questions over whether prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva can exert full control over rebellious parts of Thailand as the deadly protests enter a seventh week.
The army is also having to deal with a rogue military element that supports the protesters and is allied with Mr Thaksin, who was ousted in 2006 coup and sentenced to prison for corruption after fleeing the country.
Mr Abhisit's six-party coalition government is under intense pressure from upper-class and royalist Thais to rebuff demands from the mostly poor "red shirts". He stuck to an earlier offer to dissolve parliament and call elections in December, a year early.
"There must not be a precedent that allows intimidation to bring about political change," Abhisit said in his weekly television broadcast today.
"Thirty days is out of question. I don't think this problem can be solved within 30 days." He said the red shirts' peace overture looked insincere, designed only to boost their image and could not be considered amid threats. The protests, he added, were taking a worsening toll on Thailand's economy, Southeast Asia's second biggest.
Hotel occupancy in Bangkok has crumbled to 20 per cent from about 80 per cent in February, squeezing an industry that supports six per cent of the economy. Some hotels such as the Holiday Inn near the main protest site have shut their doors entirely.
Taking those losses into account, Mr Abhisit said he would soon scale back the government's projection of 4.5 per cent annual economic growth this year.
"We will have to revise the growth rate again, especially after this month and last month, as we can see that the protests have had a big impact on tourism," he said.
Army chief Anupong Paochinda, sitting by Mr Abhisit's side, sought to downplay signs of a split in the armed forces, but he acknowledged for the first time some retired and active officers had joined the protest movement.
"Some of those involved in the deadly attacks are still in the military," he said. "But on the division, any big organisation could have that." Bangkok, a sprawling city of 15 million people, has been on edge after grenade blasts three days ago killed one person and wounded 88 in a business district, an attack the government blamed on the red-shirts, who deny they were responsible.
That followed an April 10th clash between protesters and the army that killed 25 people and wounded more than 800 in Thailand's worst political violence in nearly two decades.
The army warned yesterday it would forcibly disperse thousands of red shirts in a fortified encampment stretching three square-kilometres in Bangkok's main shopping district, but it wants to first separate militants from women and children.
Protest leaders are urging supporters to remove their trademark red shirts to make it harder for troops to find them and they threatened more aggressive measures, including laying siege to Central World, the second-largest shopping complex in Southeast Asia, next to the stage at their main protest site.
"If you want Central World shopping mall back safely, you must withdraw army forces out of the nearby Rajaprasong area immediately," said Jatuporn Prompan, a protest leader.
The shopping centre at the Rajaprasong intersection has been closed since the protesters occupied the area on April 3rd.
"This hardening of the battle lines between the two sides does not bode well for Bangkok's security situation and a risk of another, and this time maybe even more violent, crackdown is immediate," risk consultancy IHS Global Insight said in a note.
Analysts and diplomats say both sides want to be in power in September during an annual reshuffle of the military, an institution central to protecting and upholding the monarchy.
If Mr Thaksin's camp prevails and is governing at the time, big changes are expected, including the ousting of generals allied with Thailand's royalist elite, a prospect royalists fear could diminish the monarchy's influence.
Royalist generals are likely to resist that at all costs, making these protests radically different from any other period of unrest in Thailand's polarising five-year political crisis.
The government is stepping up accusations the red shirts want to overthrow the monarchy, which the protesters deny, raising the stakes in a country whose 82-year-old king is deeply revered but has appeared rarely in public since entering hospital September 19th.
The red shirts say British-born and Oxford-educated Abhisit came to power illegitimately in December 2008, heading a coalition the military cobbled together after courts dissolved a pro-Thaksin party that led the previous government.
They chafe at what they say is an unelected elite preventing Mr Thaksin's allies from returning to power through a vote.

It's all in the wording...
By: Diane Sori
guys let's get this straight...some present at the Benghazi briefings
that fateful night are saying Obama was NOT in the Situation Room when
the briefings were going on. Now read this wording of theirs very
carefully... 'Obama was NOT in the Situation Room when the briefings
about Benghazi were going on.' This will be his defense if and when
questioned by Trey Gowdy, the standard I did NOT know about it as I was NOT in the room...I heard it on the news nonsense.
Now listen carefully...'I was NOT in the room'...which could be true
but wording is everything folks as Obama might NOT have been in the
actual room but HE WAS STANDING RIGHT OUTSIDE IT AND HEARD EVERYTHING
GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT in the actual room...possible and what a great
cover if the truth...but standing outside and hearing everything...most probable...as it's
all in the wording folks...all in the wording.

Arrogant Muslims Kick All Americans Out Of This Country
“The Department of State warns U.S. citizens..."
Christopher Agree / Western Journalism
As a select committee in the U.S. House attempts to find the truth about the 2012 terror attack that left four Americans dead in Benghazi, Libya, U.S. citizens in that nation are being urged this week to leave immediately amid security threats.
The State Department issued a warning Tuesday evening for all Americans who remained in Libya following a U.S. Marines mission to help Americans evacuate.
“The Department of State warns U.S. citizens against all travel to Libya and recommends that U.S. citizens currently in Libya depart immediately,” the statement explained. “The security situation in Libya remains unpredictable and unstable. The Libyan government has not been able to adequately build its military and police forces and improve security following the 2011 revolution.”
The agency explained a number of threats by “various groups” have been made against Americans in the nation, noting its capability to offer protection or emergency services at this time is “very limited.”
Staffing at the U.S. Embassy in Libya’s capital city of Tripoli has been pared down significantly as a result of the ongoing threats, the statement indicated.
As for those citizens targeting Americans, the State Department indicated many have access to powerful military equipment and weaponry, including some devices that can effectively attack aircraft.
Coinciding with the evacuation warning is an ongoing battle waged by Libyan Gen. Khalifa Hifter against Islamic operatives and supporters in the region. Though many of the nation’s officials and military personnel support Hifter’s mission and are backing him as a political leader, he has earned the wrath of those in the Islamic militias he is targeting.
A number of these radicals – including members of Ansar al-Shariah – are fighting back against the military leader, whom they conclude is acting on America’s behalf. The group, which has ties to terror organization Al Qaeda, has been linked to the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

VA Investigation Confirms Phoenix Abuses, Whistleblower Describes 'Crime Syndicate' AttitudeGuy Benson / Townhall Columnist
An initial investigation by the VA's Inspector General confirms sordid allegations of rampant records manipulation designed to hide chronic failures within the Phoenix-based system, as originally reported by CNN. A snippet from the report:
To date, our work has substantiated serious conditions at the Phoenix HCS. We identified about 1,400 veterans who did not have a primary care appointment but were appropriately included on the Phoenix HCS’ EWLs [electronic wait lists]. However, we identified an additional 1,700 veterans who were waiting for a primary care appointment but were not on the EWL. Until that happens, the reported wait time for these veterans has not started.
Most importantly, these veterans were and continue to be at risk of being forgotten or lost in Phoenix HCS’s convoluted scheduling process. As a result, these veterans may never obtain a requested or required clinical appointment. A direct consequence of not appropriately placing veterans on EWLs is that the Phoenix HCS leadership significantly understated the time new patients waited for their primary care appointment in their FY 2013 performance appraisal accomplishments,which is one of the factors considered for awards and salary increases.
And don't miss that last sentence, which affirms that at least part of the motive behind this scheme was financial. Bureaucrats were more interested in protecting their pay increases and performance bonuses than protecting the veterans in their care. That appalling reality isn't a new revelation, but it's still arresting to see it described in black and white, from the government's own watchdog. As you're by now well aware, Phoenix wasn't an isolated "bad apple" event. Abuses along the same lines are under investigation at dozens of VA facilities, with allegations surfacing from coast to coast. Back to the Phoenix report:
To review the new patient wait times for primary care in FY 2013, we reviewed a statistical sample of 226 Phoenix HCS appointments. VA national data, which was reported by Phoenix HCS, showed these 226 veterans waited on average 24 days for their first primary care appointment and only 43 percent waited more than 14 days.
However, our review showed these 226 veterans waited on average 115 days for their first primary care appointment with approximately 84 percent waiting more than 14 days. At this time, we believe that most of the waiting time discrepancies occurred because of delays between the veteran’s requested appointment date and the date the appointment was created. However, we found that in at least 25 percent of the 226 appointments reviewed, evidence, in veterans’ medical records, indicates that these veterans received some level of care in the Phoenix HCS, such as treatment in the emergency room, walk in clinics, or mental health clinics.A New York Times reporter boils the key numbers down:
What was D-Day?
Victor Davis Hanson / Townhall Columnist
About 160,000 troops landed on five Normandy beaches and linked up with airborne troops in a masterful display of planning and courage.
Within a month almost a million Allied troops had landed in France and were heading eastward toward the German border. Within 11 months the war with Germany was over.
The western front required the diversion of hundreds of thousands of German troops. It weakened Nazi resistance to the Russians while robbing the Third Reich of its valuable occupied European territory.
The impatient and long-suffering Russians had demanded of their allies a second front commensurate with their own sacrifices. Their Herculean efforts by war's end would account for two out of every three dead German soldiers -- at a cost of 20 million Russian civilian and military casualties.
Yet for all the sacrifices of the Soviet Union, Josef Stalin was largely responsible for his war with Nazi Germany. In 1939, he signed a foolish non-aggression pact with Hitler that allowed the Nazis to gobble up Western democracies. Hitler's Panzers were aided by Russians in Poland and overran Western Europe fueled by supplies from the Soviets.
The Western Allies had hardly been idle before D-Day. They had taken North Africa and Sicily from the Germans and Italians. They were bogged down in brutal fighting in Italy. The Western Allies and China fought the Japanese in the Pacific, Burma and China.
The U.S. and the British Commonwealth fought almost everywhere. They waged a multiform war on and under the seas. They eventually destroyed Japanese and German heavy industry with a costly and controversial strategic bombing campaign.
The Allies sent friends such as the Russians and Chinese billions of dollars worth of food and war materiel.
In sum, while Russia bore the brunt of the German land army, the Western Allies fought all three Axis powers everywhere else and in every conceivable fashion.
Yet if D-Day was brilliantly planned and executed, the follow-up advance through France in June 1944 was not always so. The Allies seemed to know the texture of every beach in Normandy, but nothing about the thick bocage just a few miles inland from Omaha Beach. The result was that the Americans were bogged down in the French hedgerows for almost seven weeks until late July -- suffering about 10 times the casualties as were lost from the Normandy landings.
So how did the Allies get from the beaches of Normandy to Germany in less than a year? Largely by overwhelming the Wehrmacht with lots of good soldiers and practical war materiel. If German tanks, mines, machine guns and artillery were superbly crafted, more utilitarian American counterparts were good enough -- and about 10 times as numerous. Mechanically intricate German Tiger and Panther tanks could usually knock out durable American Sherman tanks, but the Americans produced almost 50,000 of the latter, and the Germans less than 8,000 of the former.
Over Normandy, British and American fighter aircraft were not only as good or better than German models but were far more numerous. By mid-1944, Germany had produced almost no four-engine bombers. The British and Americans built almost 50,000 that by 1944 were systematically leveling German cities.
Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt were far more pragmatic supreme commanders than the increasingly delusional and sick Adolf Hitler. American war planners such as George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower and Alan Brooke understood grand strategy better than the more experienced German chief of staff. Allied field generals such as George S. Patton and Bernard Montgomery were comparable to German legends like Gerd von Rundstedt or Erwin Rommel, who were worn out by 1944.
The German soldier was the more disciplined, experienced, armed and deadly warrior of World War II. But his cause was bad, and by 1944 his enemies were far more numerous and far better supplied.
No soldiers fought better on their home soil than did the Russians, and none more resourcefully abroad than the British Tommy and the American G.I., when bolstered by ample air, armor and artillery support.
Omaha Beach to central Germany was about the same distance as the Russian Front to Berlin. But the Western Allies covered the same approximate ground in about a quarter of the time as had the beleaguered Russians.
D-Day ushered in the end of the Third Reich. It was the most brilliantly conducted invasion in military history, and probably no one but a unique generation of British, Canadians and Americans could have pulled it off.
Heroic Obama hides/ducks behind a child to avoid being hit by catapult
Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs
Once again, Obama gives us a peek at his true morality. He must have picked this up from his pals at Hamas and the other Islamic groups he backs that use children as human shields.
If I were in the armed forces and this was my commander in chief, I’d puke.

The President hides behind a child to avoid being hit by catapult during today’s science fair, for you
The post Heroic Obama hides/ducks behind a child to avoid being hit by catapult appeared first on Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs.
The U.S. is forking over another $5 billion to fight against “radical extremists” — that is, $5 billion to fight against a foe that U.S. officials are afraid to name, and officially forbidden to name.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has for years now given billions to Pakistan to fight these shadowy “radical extremists,” only for the Pakistani government (which also affected high dudgeon at the killing of Osama bin Laden) to funnel a good bit of that money to those very same “extremists” — with no consequences from the U.S., of course. John Kerry is the very model of a modern Secretary of State.
Also, if al Qaeda is “on the ropes” and all that, why do we need to spend another $5 billion to fight them?
“Kerry: US to start fund to fight terrorism,” Associated Press, May 28 2014:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States will begin a $5 billion “terrorism partnership fund” to help other countries push back against radical extremists.
Kerry says President Barack Obama will announce the fund during his commencement speech Wednesday at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York….
Kerry says that plan will allow the U.S. to divert resources to the anti-terrorism fight in other parts of the world. He says U.S. foreign policy needs to reflect a “rapidly changing, more complex world where terrorism is the principal challenge.”
Kerry described the anti-terrorist funding on “CBS This Morning.”

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." – Buddha
Community is so important. It’s not the things that bring us happiness. It is our connections that bring us true happiness.
Yes, our relationship to other is a vital part of these connections, but there’s one relationship that is more important than all the others.
That essential relationship is our connection to self.
What we want from others we must give ourselves first.
The interesting thing about this is that once we give these things to ourselves, the need to receive it from others disappears. We already have what we need.
What do we often desire or believe we need from others? A few examples would be love, approval, appreciation, support, acceptance, trust and faith.
These create some of our biggest “If…then…” scenarios.
Also interesting is that we often withhold these from ourselves because others do not offer them to us.
How can I love myself? My ____ doesn’t. I must not be loveable.
In truth, no one can love you until you love yourself. It’s not the other way around. Somewhere along the way we made that up.
Whatever it is you are looking for from others, stop looking outside of you for it. Turn to yourself. Give this to yourself, and receive this from yourself.
This can be done simply. Begin asking yourself simple questions that move you in that direction.
How can I show myself love today??
How can I show myself appreciation today?
What would it take to accept myself?
What would it take to have faith in myself?
Write these questions in your journal. You may get an immediate answer, but often the answers to these questions show up when you least expect it.
It’s these small daily practices that begin the process of connecting more deeply with you.
As you connect more deeply with you, the JOY comes in. The simple things begin to hold more meaning. The connections with others grow.
JOY fills every corner of your life.
JOY fills you.

(MOBILE PRESS-REGISTER (AL) 18 APR 10) ... Kaija Wilkinson
PASCAGOULA, Miss. -- A ship Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding President Mike Petters described as the most technologically complex in the U.S. Navy formally became the William P. Lawrence (DDG 110) in a christening ceremony that brought more than 1,000 people -- including top Navy officials and former presidential candidate H. Ross Perot -- to the shipyard on a sunny spring morning.
Named for a Vietnam War hero described by friends and family as selfless, brilliant and down-to-earth, the DDG 110 destroyer has an Aegis combat system, gas-turbine propulsion and Tomahawk missiles.
Like the man it's named for, the ship can be both gentle and strong. DDG 110 is capable of delivering humanitarian aid, but also of "picking off three pirate (ships) with just three bullets," the Hon. Juan M. Garcia III, assistant secretary of the Navy, told the crowd.
It's the 60th ship of its class and the 28th built in Pascagoula by Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding. Petters described the event as a "family affair," since it brought together members of Lawrence's family and the Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding family, which includes about 40,000 employees nationwide and about 11,500 in Pascagoula.
Typically, a ship has one sponsor, a woman chosen to christen it. But in this case, the Navy chose three women important to Lawrence: his widow, Diane Wilcox Lawrence, and his daughters, Dr. Laurie Macpherson Lawrence and Capt. Wendy B. Lawrence.
Before the three broke ceremonial bottles of champagne on a rail on the ship's bow, Perot, a close friend of Lawrence's, took the podium to talk about the ship's namesake. Perot described Lawrence as a role model to everyone who knew him.
That includes 67-year-old Bill Bailey, a native of Kosciusko and Ole Miss graduate who came from his home in Anderson, S.C., to attend the event. Bailey was the junior officer who was with Lawrence when his Phantom F-4B two-seater plane was shot down in June of 1967. The men were separated, and ended up spending years as prisoners.
Bailey said that even though typically there was a vast social gulf between senior and junior officers, Lawrence was always a "sailor's admiral."
"I think the world of Bill Lawrence," said Bailey, fingering a cap bearing the name of Fighting Squadron 143, affectionately known as "Pukin' Dog" because its logo, a Griffin, looks like one. Perot said he can sum up Lawrence in several words and phrases: "Patriot, guardian of freedom, hero, fearless, brilliant, modest, humble, a man of absolute integrity, (and) and a great leader."
Perot ticked off Lawrence's accomplishments. An outstanding athlete, Lawrence went on to become the first naval officer to fly twice the speed of sound. But he's perhaps most remembered for enduring six years as a prisoner of war.
Rear Adm. William Landay, U.S. Navy Program Executive Officer of Ships, said that Lawrence fought "every hour of every day with his only weapons: the strength of his mind, his indomitable spirit and his sustaining support of his fellow prisoners."
In naming DDG 110 for Lawrence, we are reminded, Landay said, that freedom isn't free. "It comes at a terrible price, and it is our duty and our destiny to preserve it for future generations."
The ship is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in the fourth quarter of 2010, when it will become the USS William P. Lawrence.

In other words, nowhere else is any better for me.
Still, sometimes... Sometimes living in a city has its moments. Sometimes, the low roar of traffic suddenly dies down, a minor street vacated, and I can hear the music.
Now, it's not like I've become some kind of neo-hippie mystic who thinks cities have a pulse and soul, a song they sing to each other across the highways and power lines. I wouldn't deny that
A small band, in some apartment above a store, their drummer crashing out a beat and the guitarist strumming along, while the singer lets loose with a wordless call, instruments and voice following their own paths but complementing each other smoothly.
Two college kids, a boy and girl, sitting at an intersection in the dead of night and singing "American Pie" to each other, neither a very good singer on their own but their voices wending together into something sweet and beautiful. Young love, for everyone to hear. I hope they stay in love forever.
A guy standing in a park by the river, late at night, playing a saxophone for nobody in particular.
Some days, I never want to leave the city.

Barix is targeting the Digital Signage Expo as the U.S. debut of its Exstreamer P5 amplified IP decoder, a new IP Audio innovation that allows businesses to integrate standard loudspeakers into IP-based, in-store/on-location audio systems. Its ability to operate in high-temperature environments and support Power over Ethernet (PoE) distribution provides many options for system deployments.
The Exstreamer P5 features a built-in amplifier and I/O connections to turn nearly any 8-ohm speaker into an “IP Speaker” solution. This enables a true end-to-end Audio over IP solution for businesses and organizations pushing background music, advertising, paging and other audio content to one or more speakers, zones or locations — from the entrance to the aisles, all the way to the restrooms.
Retailers, restaurants, clubs, hotels, offices, schools and universities are among those that can benefit from installing the Exstreamer P5 as part of a new IP Audio system or as a retrofit into existing IP or legacy systems. The P5 can also integrate with SIP phone systems to bridge telecom and security, merging audio streams and real-time paging into an efficient, centralized messaging system. Integration with digital signage systems to synchronize audio and video is another possibility.
“There is a growing desire to improve audio distribution, in combination and synchronization with video in digital signage systems,” said Rietschel. “The all-in-one design of the Exstreamer P5 addresses the common concerns: affordability, robustness, an open-standards approach and the support of high-quality, low-latency applications such as audio-for-video. This includes universal support of IP standards including TCP/IP, RTP, SIP, Multicast and Ethersound. The P5’s flexibility also ensures that businesses are not limited in their architectural or environmental options.”
Like all major Barix products for digital signage/in-store audio applications, the Exstreamer P5 features IP addressability to enable targeted delivery of music and messaging to multiple zones within a single location; or to multiple locations in a chain of businesses. The P5’s rugged design can withstand high temperatures, making the device an ideal choice for ceiling speaker systems. Power over Ethernet (POE) support reduces infrastructure costs and simplifies deployments.
Some standalone examples of Exstreamer P5 audio deployments include:
· Hospitality, including general and in-room systems for hotels, venues and cruise ships
· In-store audio systems for retail stores, restaurants and other businesses
· Background music and paging systems for office buildings and corporate facilities
· Security applications, including PA playback points and SIP-based notification
· Soothing audio in public locations, underpasses and corridors
Barix will also demonstrate its Store and Play software solution, a centralized, automated FTP/HTTP download and playback application introduced last year; and the Adiosys ad-insertion service for targeted, localized delivery of music, advertisements, promos and other audio programming.
“The Adiosys service has proven reliable for real-time ad insertion to chain stores and businesses with multiple locations, as well as in live, low-latency event streaming,” said Rietschel. “The service allows individualization of advertising and other inserts down to the device level, based on a streaming architecture which can be monitored in real time from a central location.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Thousands of people filled Uptown Charlotte for the Belk Bowl.
The Virginia Cavaliers shut out the South Carolina Gamecocks in a 28 to 0 game.
Organizers of the Belk Bowl expected more than 40,000 people to fill the streets around Bank of American Stadium today.
After rain canceled the pep rally and fan central events Friday night, the fan fest kicked off Saturday morning at 9 a.m. as planned.
Fans, cheerleaders, the bands and more joined in on the festivities outside the stadium before heading inside for the main event.
South Carolina and Virginia fans were both excited to cheer on their teams.
"We saw other Hoos fans, we saw other gamecocks fans, everybody's having a good time," said Sue Cavallaro, a Virginia fan.
The Belk Bowl isn’t the only big event in the next few days in Uptown. Charlotteans can ring in the new year with the Charlotte New Year’s Eve celebration Monday night.
The celebration is at the Levine Avenue of the Arts starting at 8 p.m.
Organizers are expecting five-thousand people to watch the lighting of the Queen City crown. There will be several street closures for that event.

103 U.S. 205
103 U.S. 205
26 L.Ed. 514
October Term, 1880
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Minnesota.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
Mr. Thomas Wilson for the appellants.
Mr. Gordon E. Cole, contra.
MR. JUSTICE HARLAN delivered the opinion of the court.
This case involves the construction of the second clause of the second section of the act of March 3, 1875, c. 137 (18 Stat., part 3, p. 470), determining the jurisdiction of the circuit courts of the United States, and regulating the removal of causes from the State courts.
It was commenced by a complaint filed in one of the courts of the State of Minnesota. The plaintiffs are William H. Latham and Edward P. Latham, citizens, respectively, of Minnesota and Indiana. The defendants are Ashbel H. Barney, Jessie Hoyt, Alfred M. Hoyt, Samuel N. Hoyt, William G. Fargo, N. C. Barney, Charles T. Barney, citizens of New York; Angus Smith, a citizen of Wisconsin; Benjamin P. Cheney, a citizen of Massachusetts; and the Winona and St. Peter Land Company, a corporation organized under the laws of Minnesota.
The complaint is very lengthy in its statement of the grounds upon which the suit proceeds, but the facts, so far as it is necessary to state them, are these:——
The Territory and State of Minnesota received, under various acts of Congress, lands to aid in the construction of railroads within its limits. Act of March 3, 1857, c. 99, 11 Stat. 195; Act of March 3, 1865, c. 105, 13 id. 526; Act of July 13, 1866, 183, 14 id. 97. The benefit of the grants from the government was transferred by the State to the Winona and St. Peter Railroad Company, a corporation created under its own laws, with authority to construct a road from Winona westerly by way of St. Peter in that State.
Prior to Oct. 31, 1867, the individual defendants already named (except N. C. Barney and Charles T. Barney), together with Charles F. Latham and Danforth N. Barney (both of whom died before the commencement of this suit), had constructed one hundred and five miles of the proposed road for that company, whereby it became entitled to several hundred thousand acres of land, which it agreed, in consideration of its indebtedness to those persons, to sell and convey to them, excepting so much thereof as was necessary for tracks, right of way, depot grounds, and other purposes incidental to the operation of the road. Of the moneys advanced and used in construction Charles F. Latham contributed one thirty-seventh, and to that extent, it is claimed, he was entitled, in equity, to an undivided one thirty-seventh of the lands earned. The company, prior to October, 1870, received from the State conveyances of lands to the extent of 364,154 acres, which quantity was increased to 617,510 acres by a deed from the State, of date Feb. 26, 1872; and on May 30, 1874, it received a further conveyance for more than 500,000 acres. Up to the end of the year 1869 the railroad company made numerous sales, on long time, and in small quantities for actual settlement. Charles F. Latham died in October, 1870, seised and possessed, it is contended, of the equitable title to the undivided one thirty-seventh of the lands earned. He left nine heirs-at-law, among whom are the plaintiffs. The defendant, Ashbel H. Barney, acting for his associates, had a settlement with those heirs in reference to the sales of lands, and procured releases from them, which are averred to have been fraudulent and void as to the present plaintiffs. The facts averred in support of that charge need not be here detailed. They are fully set forth in the complaint. The surviving associates of Charles F. Latham, together with N. C. Barney and Charles F. Barney, heirs-at-law of D. N. Barney, deceased, without the knowledge and consent of plaintiffs, incorporated themselves under the general laws of the State of Minnesota, as the Winona and St. Peter Land Company, to which, by their direction, the railroad company conveyed, and by which were thereafter managed, aged, all the lands remaining unsold. The plaintiffs claimed that the individual defendants owed them, as heirs of Charles F. Latham, the further sum of $3,500, on account of sales of land made both prior to his death and subsequently thereto, up to the time when the title to the lands was conveyed to the land company. The individual defendants repudiated the claim of plaintiffs to any further sum on that account, and the land company refused to recognize the claim of plaintiffs to an interest in the unsold lands.
The specific relief asked for is,——
1. That the individual defendants be required to account to plaintiffs for the amount of all moneys which came to their hands from the sales of land prior to the death of Charles F. Latham, and pay over to plaintiffs the sum of $3,500, or such other sum as shall be found, on an accounting, to be due them as their share thereof; also such amounts as might be due them out of the sums received by Ashbel H. Barney, from purchasers subsequently to the death of Charles F. Latham;
2. That the plaintiffs be adjudged to be the owners of two-ninths of one thirty-seventh part of all unpaid contracts and securities in the hands of the land commissioner of the company; that the land company be required to account with plaintiffs for all lands sold by it subsequently to the conveyance from the railroad company, and convey to them an undivided two-ninths of one thirty-seventh of all the unsold lands.
The individual defendants answered and put in issue all the material allegations of the complaint.
The land company, in its answer, admits the conveyance by the railroad company to have been without any consideration by it paid; that the stock therein is all held by its co-defendants and the heirs or personal representatives of D. N. Barney; and that, if the relief prayed for against the other defendants be granted, the company is liable to and should account to plaintiffs as asked in their complaint. It consented that the matters and facts established and proven as against its co-defendants may be considered as established and proven against it, and such judgment accordingly entered as might be equitable and proper.
Upon the petition, accompanied by a proper bond, filed by the individual defendants, the State court entered an order that it would proceed no further in the suit. But upon motion of plaintiffs the Circuit Court remanded the suit to the State court, upon the ground that it was not removable under the act of Congress.
Is this suit removable upon the petition of the individual defendants, citizens of New York, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts? Does the fact that the land company, one of the defendants, is a corporation of Minnesota, of which State one of the plaintiffs is a citizen, prevent a removal of the suit to the Circuit Court of the United States?
The answer to these questions depends upon the construction which may be given to the second clause of the second section of the act of March 3, 1875, c. 137.
We will be aided in our construction of that act by recalling as well the language as the settled interpretation of previous enactments upon the subject of removal of causes from State courts.
The act of Sept. 24, 1789, c. 20, gives the right of removal to the defendant in any suit, instituted by a citizen of the State in which the suit is brought against a citizen of another State. According to the uniform decisions of this court it applied only to cases in which all the plaintiffs were citizens of the State in which the suit was brought, and all the defendant citizens of other States. It made no distinction between a suit and the different controversies which might arise therein between the several parties; that is, Congress, when authorizing the removal of the suit, did not permit any controversy therein between particular parties to be carried into the Federal court, leaving the remaining controversies in the State court for its determination. If the whole suit could not be removed, no part of it could be taken from the State court.
Thus stood the law until the act of July 27, 1866, c. 288, which (omitting such portions as have no bearing upon the present question) provides that——
'If in any suit . . . in any State court . . . by a citizen of the State in which the suit is brought against the citizen of another State, . . . a citizen of the State in which the suit is brought is or shall be a defendant, and if the suit, so far as relates . . . to the defendant who is a citizen of a State other than that in which the suit is brought, is or has been instituted or prosecuted for the purpose of restraining or enjoining him, or if the suit is one in which there can be a final determination of the controversy, so far as it concerns him, without the presence of the other defendants as parties in the cause, then and in every such case . . . the defendant who is a citizen of a State other than that in which the suit is brought, may, at any time before the trial or final hearing of the cause, file a petition for the removal of the cause as against him into the next Circuit Court of the United States, to be held in the district where the suit is pending, and offer good and sufficient surety for his entering in such court . . . copies of said process against him, and of all pleadings, depositions, testimony, and other proceedings in said cause affecting or concerning him, and also for his there appearing; . . . and it shall be thereupon the duty of the State court to accept the surety and proceed no further in the cause as against the defendant so applying for its removal, . . . and the said copies being entered as aforesaid in such court of the United States the cause shall there proceed in the same manner as if it had been brought there by original process against the defendant who shall have so filed a petition for its removal as above provided. . . . And such removal of the cause, as against the defendant petitioning therefor, into the United States court shall not be deemed to prejudice or take away the right of the plaintiff to proceed at the same time with the suit in the State court as against the other defendants, if he shall desire to do so.' 14 Stat. 306.
This provision is explicit, and leaves no room to doubt what Congress intended to accomplish. It proceeds, plainly, upon the ground, among others, that a suit may, under correct pleading, embrace several controversies, one of which may be between the plaintiff and that defendant who is a citizen of a State other than that in which the suit is brought; that to the final determination of such separate controversy the other defendants may not be indispensable parties; that in such a case, although the citizen of another State, under the particular mode of pleading adopted by the plaintiff, is made a co-defendant with one whose citizenship is the same as the plaintiff's, he should not, as to his separable controversy, be required to remain in the State court, and surrender his constitutional right to invoke the jurisidiction of the Federal court; but that, at his election, at any time before the trial or final hearing, the cause, so far as it concerns him, might be removed into the Federal court, leaving the plaintiff, if he so desires, to proceed, in the State court, against the other defendant or defendants. When there were several defendants to that separable controversy, all of whom are citizens of States other than that in which the suit was brought, they could unite in claiming the removal of such controversy.
Next came the act of March 2, 1867, c. 196, which allows the citizen of the State other than that in which the suit was brought, whether plaintiff or defendant, upon the proper affidavit of prejudice or local influence, filed before the final hearing or trial of the suit, to remove the suit into the Federal court. 14 Stat. 558. It was construed in Case of the Sewing Machine Companies (18 Wall. 553) as allowing a removal, upon such an affidavit, only where there is a common citizenship upon each side of the controversy raised by the suit; that is, all on one side being citizens of the State in which the suit is brought, while all on the other side are citizens of other States. In that case the plaintiff and one of the defendants were citizens of the State where the suit was brought, while two of the defendants were citizens of other States. It was ruled that whatever was the purpose of the act of 1866 as to the particular cases therein provided for, Congress did not intend, by the act of 1867, to give to parties, who are citizens of States other than that in which the suit is brought, the right of removal upon the ground of prejudice or local influence, when their co-defendants or co-plaintiffs, as the case might be, are citizens of the same Stae with some of the adverse parties. The court there evidently had in mind the case where the presence in the suit of all the parties, on the side seeking the removal, was essential in order that complete justice might be done, and not a suit in which there was a separable controversy, removable under the act of 1866.
We come now to the act of March 3, 1875, c. 137, the second section of which provides,——
'That any suit of a civil nature at law or in equity now pending or hereafter brought in any State court, where the matter in dispute exceeds, exclusive of costs, the sum or value of $500, . . . in which there is a controversy between citizens of different States, . . . either party may remove said suit into the Circuit Court of the United States for the proper district; and when, in any suit mentioned in this section, there shall be a controversy which is wholly between citizens of different States, and which can be fully determined as between them, then either one or more of the plaintiffs or defendants, actually interested in such controversy, may remove said suit to the Circuit Court of the United States for the proper district.' 18 State., pt. 3, p. 470.
We had occasion to consider the meaning of the first clause of this section in Removal Cases, 100 U.S. 427. Disregarding as immaterial the mere form of the pleadings, and placing the parties on opposite sides of the real matter in dispute according to the facts, we found that the only controversy there was between citizens of Ohio and Pennsylvania on one side, and certain corporations created under the laws of Iowa on the other. And we held that if, in arranging the parties upon the respective sides of the real matter in dispute, all those on one side are citizens of different States from those on the other, the suit is removable under the first clause of the second section of the act of 1875, those upon the side seeking a removal uniting in the petition therefor. Whether that suit was not also removable under the second clause of that section we reserved for consideration until it became necessary to construe that part of the statute. The present case imposes that duty upon us.
We any remark that with the policy of the act of 1875 we have nothing to do. Our duty is to give effect to the will of the law-making power when expressed within the limits of the Constitution.
We are of opinion that the intention of Congress, by the clause under consideration, was not only to preserve some of the substantial features or principles of the act of 1866, but to make radical changes in the law regulating the removal of causes from State courts. One difference between that act and the second clause of the second section of the act of 1875 is, that whereas the former accorded the right of removal to the defendants who were citizens of a State other than that one in which the suit was brought,—if between them and the plaintiff or plaintiffs there was, in the suit, a controversy finally determinable as between them, without the presence of their co-defendants, or any of them, citizens of the same State with plaintiffs,—the latter gave such right to any one or more of the plaintiffs or the defendants actually interested in such separate controversy. Both acts alike recognized the fact that a suit might, consistently with the rules of pleading, embrace several distinct controversies. But while the act of 1866, in express terms, authorized the removal only of the separable controversy between the plaintiff and the defendant or defendants seeking such removal,—leaving the remainder of the suit, at the election of the plaintiff, in the State court,—the act of 1875 provides, in that class of cases, for the removal of the entire suit.
That such was the intention of Congress is a proposition which seems too obvious to require enforcement by argument. While the act of 1866 expressly confines the removal to that part of the suit which specially relates to or concerns the defendant seeking the removal, there is nothing whatever in the act of 1875 justifying the conclusion that Congress intended to leave any part of a suit in the State court where the right of removal was given to, and was exercised by, any of the parties to a separable controversy therein. Much confusion and embarrassment, as well as increase in the cost of litigation, had been found to result from the provision in the former act permitting the separation of controversies arising in a suit, removing some to the Federal court, and leaving others in the State court for determination. It was often convenient to embrace in one suit all the controversies which were so far connected by their circumstances as to make all who sue, or are sued, proper, though not indispensable parties. Rather than split up such a suit between courts of different jurisdictions, Congress determined that the removal of the separable controversy to which the judicial power of the United States was, by the Constitution, expressly extended, should operate to transfer the whole suit to the Federal court.
If the clause of the act of 1875, under consideration, is not to be thus construed, it is difficult to perceive what purpose there was in dropping those portions of the act of 1866 which, ex industria, limited the removal, in the class of cases therein provided for, to that controversy in the suit, which is distinctively between citizens of different States, and of which there could be a final determination without the presence of the other defendants as parties in the cause.
It remains only to inquire how far this construction of the act of 1875 controls the decision of the case now before us. The complaint, beyond question, discloses more than one controversy in the suit. There is a controversy between the plaintiffs in the suit. There is a controversy Company, to the full determination of which the other defendants are not, in any legal sense, indispensable parties, although, as stockholders in the company, they may have an interest in its ultimate disposition. Against the latter, as a corporation, a decree is asked requiring it to convey to the plaintiffs the undivided two-ninths of one thirty-seventh of certain lands, and to account for the proceeds of the lands by it sold subsequently to the conveyance from the railroad company.
But the suit as distinctly presents another and entirely separate controversy, as to the right of the plaintiffs to a decree against the individual defendants for such sum as shall be found, upon an accounting, to be due from them upon sales prior to the conveyance from the railroad company. With that controversy the land company, as a corporation, has no necessary connection. It can be fully determined as between the parties actually interested in it without the presence of that company as a party in the cause. Had the present suit sought no other relief than such a decree, it could not be pretended that the corporation would have been a necessary or indispensable party to that issue. Such a controversy does not cease to be one wholly between the plaintiffs and those defendants because the former, for their own convenience, choose to embody in their complaint a distinct controversy between themselves and the land company. When the petition for removal was presented, there was in suit, as framed by plaintiffs, a controversy wholly between citizens of different States, that is, between the plaintiffs, citizens respectively of Minnesota and Indiana, and the individual defendants, citizens of New York, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. And since the presence of the land company is not essential to its full determination, the defendants, citizens of New York, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts, were entitled, by the express words of the statute, to have the suit removed to the Federal court.
It may be suggested that if the complaint has united causes of action, which, under the settled rules of pleading, need not, or should not, have been united in one suit, the removal ought not to carry into the Federal court any controversy except that which is wholly between citizens of different States, leaving for the determination of the State court the controversy between the plaintiffs and the land company. We have endeavored to show that the land company was not an indispensable party to the controversy between the plaintiffs and the defendants, citizens of New York, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. Whether those defendants and the land company were not proper parties to the suit we do not now decide. We are not advised that any such question was passed upon in the court below. It was not discussed here, and we are not disposed to conclude its determination by the court of original jurisdiction, when it is therein presented in proper form. A defendant may be a proper, but not an indispensable, party to the relief asked. In a variety of cases it is in the discretion of the plaintiff as to whom he will join as defendants. Consistently with established rules of pleading he may be governed often by considerations of mere convenience; and it may be that there was, or is, such a connection between the various transactions set out in the complaint as to make all of the defendants proper parties to the suit, and to every controversy embraced by it,—at least, in such a sense as to protect the complaint against a demurrer upon the ground of multifariousness or misjoinder.
In Oliver v. Piatt (3 How. 333, 411) we said: 'It was well observed by Lord Cottenham, in Campbell v. Mackay, 1 Myl. & Cr. 603, and the same doctrine was affirmed in this court in Gaines and Wife v. Relf and Chew, 2 How. 619, 642, that it is impracticable to lay down any rule, as to what constitutes multifariousness as an abstract proposition; that each case must depend upon its own circumstances; and much must necessarily be left, where the authorities leave it, to the sound discretion of the court.' We further said that the objection of multifariousness cannot, 'as a matter of right, be taken by the parties, except by demurrer, or plea, or answer, and if not so taken it is deemed to be waived;' that although the court may take the objection, it will not do so unless it deems such a course necessary or proper to assist in the due administration of justice. Story, Eq. Pl., sects. 530, 540; Shields v. Thomas, 18 How. 253; Fitch v. Creighton, 24 id. 159. No objection taken it is deemed to be waived;' in the court below to the complaint upon the ground of multifariousness or misjoinder, and the plaintiffs should not be heard to make it for the purpose, or with the effect, of defeating the right of removal. They are not in any position to say that that right does not exist, because they have made defendants those who were not proper parties to the entire relief asked. The fault, if any, in pleading, was theirs. Under their mode of pleading, whether adopted with or without a purpose to affect the right of removal, accorded by the statute, the suit presents two separate controversies, one of which is wholly between individual citizens of different States, and can be fully determined without the presence of the other party defendant. The right of removal, if claimed, in the mode prescribed by the statute, depends upon the case disclosed by the pleadings as they stand when the petition for removal is filed. The State court ought not to disregard the petition, upon the ground that, in its opinion, the plaintiffs, against whom a removal is sought, had united causes of action which should or might have been asserted in separate suits. Those are matters more properly for the determination of the trial court, that is, the Federal court, after the cause is there docketed. If that court should be of opinion that the suit is obnoxious to the objection of multifariousness or misjoinder, and for that reason should require the pleadings to be reformed, both as to subject-matter and parties, according to the rules and practice which obtain in the courts of the United States, and if, when that is done, the cause does not really and substantially involve a dispute or controversy within the jurisdiction of that court, it can, under the fifth section of the act of 1875, dismiss the suit, or remand it to State court as justice requires.
We are of opinion that, upon the filing of the petition and bond by the individual defendants in the separable controversy between them and the plaintiffs, the entire suit, although all the defendants may have been proper parties thereto, was removed to the Circuit Court of the United States, and that the order remanding it to the State court was erroneous.
The judgment is reversed with directions to the court below to overrule the motion to remand, to reinstate the cause upon its docket, and proceed therein in confomrity with the principles of this opinion.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE, MR. JUSTICE MILLER, and MR. JUSTICE FIELD dissented.

I asked Watanabe-san about wabi-sabi. “That’s difficult, even we Japanese do not understand that”, she replied. “I don’t really know what it means”, said Saiko-san.
But all the Japanophile foreigners in Tokyo are talking about wabi-sabi. They see it in art, design, food, music and even people. Could wabi-sabi just be another Asian cultural fantasy that these Westerners have latched onto?
In his book “Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers”, Leonard Koren describes it as a beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity, simplicity, modesty, intimacy, and the suggestion of natural processes. Andrew Juniper claims, "if an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi". According to architect, Tadao Ando, “wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death”.
So what are some examples of wabi-sabi? Rustic and simple pottery, fading autumn leaves, ageing bare wood, Zen music, Japanese gardens, bonsai. Again, according to Tadao Ando, “Wabi-sabi is flea markets, not warehouse stores; aged wood, not Pergo; rice paper, not glass. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet-that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent.”
How much wabi-sabi can you see in Tokyo? If you look hard, you can always find evidence of wabi-sabi in old temples, gardens and decorative objects.
But in my experience, the Japanese may be among the least wabi-sabi of all the peoples that I have met. They do not rejoice in imperfection and incompleteness, rather they are a very meticulous and finicky people. They are obsessed with cleanliness and details, and would never get excited about a dying lotus or peony flower. Ageing and antique architecture basically does not exist – true, much was destroyed in the 1923 earthquake and then the war. But much of Tokyo is quite simply gaudy and crass, especially the ubiquitous Pachinko parlours. And coffee shops, which must represent the height of European wabi-sabi, are all copies of Starbucks.
All cultures have the co-existence of the opposing forces of yin and yang. In ancient China, the art of gentleman scholars tended to idealize retreat into the beauties of nature and contemplation – even though they usually lived in enormous cities, and were members of large families.
And so it seems in Japan that wabi-sabi is an aesthetic of ancient elites, which has been picked up by the Japanophile foreigners, but has little relevance to the average Japanese.
I am now interviewing young Japanese artists on the subject of wabi-sabi. Half of them have never heard of it, and the other half still do not know what it means. This is not entirely surprising, as much of modern Japanese art is computer-based, and this far removed from any notion of wabi-sabi.

BEA this year was such a blast! I really think it just gets better and better every year. I got so many great books, met all my favorite authors, and met some really awesome blogger friends along the way.
I am so happy that BEA is my yearly trip, because I don't think I can live without it anymore. lol
This year I decided to attend the Book Blogger Conference. The keynote by Maureen Johnson was hilarious and on point. She was the perfect person to have up there, because I could listen to her for days. The breakout sessions were very informative and learned a lot on how to make the blog better.
There will be a lot of changes on the blog in the very near future to make it the best it can be and I definitely see a move to wordpress in the near future as well. The only session I really could have lived without was the "Blogging & the Law" session. It was informative, but very dull and I just really didn't feel like I was soaking it all in.
After all the sessions there was a celebration with LOTS of free books, free booze and popcorn, and live music from the awesome band, Tiger Beat.
Here is a photo of my mom and I in the super dark elevator in our hotel on our way to day 1 of BEA
This year I also got the chance to go to my first breakfast. I attended the Harlequin Teen Author Breakfast with some AMAZING authors. Jennifer L. Armentrout, Alexandra Adornetto, Robin Talley, Julie Kagawa, and Adi Alsaid were the authors who attended along with some of the editors and publicists from Harlequin Teen. We got to meet each of the authors and talk to the professionals about anything we wanted and it was seriously the best thing I ever attended.
It definitely didn't hurt that we got an awesome tote that said "I like big books and I cannot lie" filled with all of the authors books, which they gladly signed for us.
While at the breakfast I got to meet the amazing Jennifer L. Armentrout! Can you tell how excited I am?
Throughout the rest of BEA I felt like I was in line after line for autographed books. I loved it because I got to meet all my favorite authors, and some SUPER cool new friends, but I didn't get to wander around a lot and find some new, unexpected reads. In any case I still had an amazing time! Below are some of the authors I met this year...
|Neil Patrick Harris|
|Me at the front of the line for Gretchen McNeil's signing. She gave me a hug for being first!|
|Adi Alsaid's "car" for his debut novel, "Let's Get Lost"|
|Me and Holly Black|
|Me and Sylvia Day|
|My ticket to meet the famous Stan Lee|
Throughout the convention one of the things I absolutely love collecting, besides books, is tote bags! I have way too many from all the years I have attended and will be giving some away this year, so make sure to look out for those if you win anything from me. Below is one of my favorites I got this year.
At the end I came home with about 103 books, too many tote bags, some book/BEA related cups, and a butt load of swag! I cannot wait to start reading the books I got and I cannot wait to do some giveaways for you guys this summer.

When I was young there was a comic shop, called Comic Kingdom that used to be on 7 mile and Gratiot Ave. in Detroit. I, actually, don't remember how we found it but my Father would take me there, on weekends, so I could sort through the impressive collection of Macross, Dougram, Orguss, and Gundam kits, at least it was the fact they carried such kits that led me there (my Father bought me a bunch of the Revell Robotech kits the X-mas of 84 and I was hooked). However, it wasn't the kits as much as the discovery that this little Comic shop also carried anime art books and magazines, straight from Japan. Back then it was just really cool animation to my eyes, something new and exciting. They were doing things I had never seen before with the medium of animation and for a young artist the idea of such creative freedom with "moving drawings" was immensely impressionable.
I remember always being excited to see previews in the magazines or getting the actual artbooks of these fantastic films soon to hit theaters in Japan, films like; 'The Wings of Honneamise Royal Space Force', 'Akira', 'Castle in the Sky Laputa', and 'Venus Wars' (this was during the late 80s so that does indeed make me very old school). All films that STILL to this day I find as impressive as when I first saw these previews in Animedia, Animage, or Newtype. It was always seeing those previews of screen caps, background art, or cool peeks at model sheets and such that sparked my imagination. Even more impressionable was the fact that the cool fellow who ran that section of the shop, Bill Sikoro (not sure if I have his last name right but I do wish to extend my thanks for encouraging a young upstart to follow his dream of making his own works) would have showings of these films as they got them on Laser Disc, and, usually, it was within a month or so after release. I saw Akira on LD, like right after it came out in Japan. So all this stuff really inspired me to both strike out on my own creative ventures, but more importantly to pursue my own original creative voice. Seeing all the imagination in those films, back then, ingrained a drive in me to settle for no less than my own original vision and I've had no interest in aping anyone else's work since. I find it FAR more rewarding to strive for something I haven't seen while honoring the works and genres that inspired me in my youth.
Well, many, many years later and I'm producing my own work with that spirit in mind. My approach to presenting much of the Theos art has been designed to evoke those days of seeing all those previews for some anime film, or project, that just grabbed you with wonder, or some cool box art for a plastic/resin kit.. Back then you wanted to see it because it looked wild, imaginative, thoughtful in execution, or just plain cool... impressions I sense less and less in current anime offerings (though there are still some impressive works produced to be sure). The TKP art is presented in a manner to, hopefully, achieve that same sense of wonder, like seeing those previews, back then, before the internet and the tidal wave of media we have today. The FOIL art has especially been tailored toward a sense of seeing some old school box art for a cool resin or plastic mech that would catch your eye. Seeing as how I've had a few people tell me the art gave them that impression it seems I've succeeded in evoking that vibe. Eventually we'll need those FOIL kits in our hands for real, but for now we have the art to inspire that path forward.
Below are the line art works for the Nal-Farbute and the Strumgeist 5th Gen EVO. These line art presentations will go up here first, then later to DA and Pixiv.
Comments are welcome and feel free to stay a spell. More of these to follow soon!

IMPACT OF PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES ON FAST MOVING CONSUMER GOODS (FMCG)
The study examined the impact of promotional activities on fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), a study of Unilever Nigeria Plc.
The sample frame of the study was made up of consumers of fast moving consumer goods resident in Ikeja, and the research was limited to age of 20 and above,
The simple random sampling technique method was use to pick the respondents and 400 consumers in Ikeja were selected, and a well- developed questionnaire was designed to elicit information from the respondents.
The data collected were analyzed using the descriptive statistics technique and the linear regression analysis was adopted to test the stated hypotheses at .05 significance level.
Result from the study indicated that there is strong relationship between promotional activities and FMCGs, there is strong relationship between improvement in promotion strategies on FMCGs and consumer referrals, and there is strong relationship between health labelling and consumers’ patronage.
Base on this, the study advised that FMCGs producing companies especially Unilever Nigeria Plc should ensure that they meticulously input expiry date on every product they are producing., secondly, it should be very careful of misleading advertisement which can take the interest of consumers away from the product., lastly, it should make sure the labeling of their products is healthy, along with expiration date, and NAFDAC registration number for authenticity should also be attached.
Modern marketing calls for more than developing a good product, pricing it attractively and making it accessible. Companies and individuals must also communicate with present and potential stakeholders, and the general public. For most companies and individuals, the question is not whether to communicate but rather what to say, how to say it, to whom and how often. But communication gets harder and harder as more and more companies clamour to grab the consumer’s increasingly divided attention. To reach target markets and build brand equity, holistic marketers are creatively employing multiple forms of promotions.
Sales promotion is an indirect form of marketing promotion intended to stimulate quick action. It is those promotional activities other than personal selling, advertising and publicity that stimulate consumer purchasing and dealers effectiveness such as displays, shows and exhibitions, demonstration, coupons, contests, samples, premiums, trade allowance, point of purchasing displays, price cent-off pack and dealer allowance and other known routine selling efforts that are usually of short term activities since the aim is to move sales of a particular product or brand above the existing level. Sales would increase if more customers are attracted to the shop, if non-brand users are attracted and if brand users are encouraged to buy more.
According to Ebue (2000) “sales promotion is that something extra that can arouse interest, creating a buying desire, sparks an immediate reaction from customers, middlemen or company sales force.
According to Nnolim (1979) sales promotions is intended to aid both consumers pull and dealer push. They thus categorized sales promotions techniques in term of their consumer and dealer focus.
According to Kotler (2003) sales promotion, a key ingredient in marketing campaigns consists of a diverse collection of incentive tools, mostly short term design to stimulate quicker or greater purchase of particular products or services by consumers on the trade. Based on the sales promotion impact, the researcher used product life cycled theory.
Sales promotion holds a middle ground between advertising and personal selling. It is usually not directed as advertising but it is directed at much large groups than a typical personal selling effort.
Before the sixties, sales promotions had not become popular, but in recent years they had grown so rapidly between 1967 and 1976, and much more in the late eighties, nineties and beyond. In Nigeria over the years, companies and individual service providers have been trying to improve on the creativity in their promotion so as to meet world standards, and again, create the necessary awareness that a product needs.
1.2 Background of the Study
Promotion is a form of communication intended to persuade its viewers, readers or listeners to take some action. It usually includes the name of a product or service and how that product or service could benefit the consumer, by persuading potential consumers and customers to purchase or to consume that particular brand. Modern promotion developed with the rise of mass production and increased competition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Promotion could also be seen as an element of a marketing communications program. It is usually not the only one, or even the most important one, in terms of building brand equity. The promotion communication mix consists of six major modes of communication.
1. Advertising: Any paid form of non personal presentation and promotion of idea, goods or services by an identified sponsor.
2. Sales promotion: A variety of short term incentives to encourage trial or purchase of a product or service.
3. Events and Experiences: Company sponsored activities and programs designed to create daily or special brand-related interactions.
4. Public Relation and Publicity: A variety of programs designed to promote or protect a company’s image or its individual products.
5. Direct Marketing: Use of mail, telephone, fax, e-mail or internet to communicate directly with or solicit response or dialogue from specific customers and prospects.
6. Personal Selling: Face-to-face interaction with one or more prospective purchasers for the purpose of making presentations, answering questions and procuring orders.
The above listed are the elements of a promotion communication mix. A case study of Unilever Nigeria Plc was used to find out how the strategies employed help the company achieve its promotional goals.
1.3 Statement of the Problem
The purpose of this research work is to thoroughly evaluate the strategies and tools that companies employ to ensure promotion of their goods and services and, possibly, find out how that will commensurate with increased sales due to the use of the different tools. Inspite of the tight definition of sales promotion as an essential means of creating awareness of the product’s existence and characteristics and also the positive, psychological associations that can enhance the buyer satisfaction which add to the real value of the company's offering, little attention is being given to it by many business organisations in the country and they rarely promote their sales to the fullest.
Many firms pay little attention to sales promotion since they feel they can sell their product with little or no promotional activities. Likewise, despite the effects of sales promotion, there had been insufficient research and decision modeling devoted to it. In addition, there is an established negative perception of many firms as regards the cost of business promotion especially those whose benefits are not early and immediately reached.
Also, adequate records of sales and promotional cost are always neglected and some sales promotion programmes are introduced at the wrong time, which will therefore hinder the level of sales and profitability of the firm and thereby render sales promotions less important in the community and the country as a whole.
1.4 Objectives of the Study

Good Evening AmPark Families,
This post is to let you all know that I have just received confirmation from the Situation Room that our building is to remain closed through November 24th. All learning will continue and be fully remote during that time. Please know that this does not indicate additional positive cases of COVID-19 in our building but rather community tracing's inconclusive results linking our AmPark COVID case to those positive cases at PS/MS 95. Keeping our campus closed is being done out of an abundance of caution. Please see the letter generated by the Situation Room posted below.
Do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.
In solidarity and with well wishes,
Dear AmPark Neighborhood School Families:
As always, the health and safety of our students and staff, and everyone in the DOE family across the city, is our top priority.
As you know, our school building was closed for an initial 24 hours because two or more members of our school community tested positive for COVID-19. Today we are writing to update you that the NYC Test + Trace Corps and the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene have determined that at this time the building must remain closed for 14 days, inclusive of today.
Here is what will happen next:
· The school building will remain closed, and all teaching and learning will continue remotely. Staff and students may return to school on November 25.
· Anyone with a positive COVID-19 test will not return to the school until they are no longer infectious.
· Close contacts of the person who tested positive have been notified and will continue their 14-day quarantine period. If additional close contacts are identified, they will also be instructed to quarantine for 14 days.
It’s up to all of us to help keep our school community safe and healthy. While we swiftly address this situation, please remember to follow these important “Core Four” actions to prevent COVID-19 transmission:
· Stay home if sick: Monitor your and your child’s health and stay home if you are sick or keep them home if they are sick, except for getting essential medical care (including COVID-19 testing) and other essential needs.
· Physical distancing: Stay at least 6 feet away from people who are not members of your household.
· Wear a face covering: Protect those around you. Wearing a face covering helps reduce the spread of COVID-19, especially if you are sick and don’t have symptoms. For more information about face coverings, visit nyc.gov/health/coronavirus and look for "FAQ About Face Coverings."
· Practice healthy hand hygiene: Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available; clean frequently touched surfaces regularly; avoid touching your face with unwashed hands; and cover your cough or sneeze with your arm, not your hands.
We will continue to closely follow directions from public health experts and proactively update you on any measures we are taking.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. For additional information on COVID-19, visit schools.nyc.gov/coronavirus or call 311. Finally, to ensure we can rapidly reach you via text and email, please set up a New York City Schools Account as soon as possible by visiting schools.nyc.gov/nycsa.
Thank you for your cooperation. Health and safety will always come first in New York City public schools, no matter what.
AmPark Neighborhood School

Well Windows 7 is here and wouldn’t it be nice if we can dual boot XP or vista along with Windows 7?. Well here is a step by step procedure to do the same.
step 1 : First We need a copy of Windows 7 Rc. download the same from he website. Then burn the image using any software like Nero or ImgBurn to make a bootable version of the disc from the image.
step 2 : Once we have the boot DVD we need to partition our existing hard drive to accomodate Windows 7. For this softwae like partition magic can be used . Since parttion magic is not available for free we can use gparted live CD for the same purpose. All one need to partition is to simply load the disk and follow the onscreen instructions. we need to make sure that atleast 16 Gb of hard disk is available as stipulated.
Step 3: From now the process is easy just load the Windows 7 disk into the drive and direct the installation to the just created drive. Make sure the drive you mentioned is clear else your existing installation wil be corrupted.
Please note that vista already comes with a bundled partion maker under Control Panel -> System and Maintainence (skip this one if you’re in Classic view) -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management. Just right click the volume from which you want to create a new partion and follow the options.

[Snort-users] RE: Rule content question.
mkettler at ...4108...
Wed Aug 21 11:23:03 EDT 2002
What lack of replies? I made a couple of suggestions for this one... were
the limitations unacceptable?
You are correct however that there is *no* way whatsoever in snort rules to
detect that a packet contains *all* 00's. all you can do is exclude those
with lots of 00's. But there are a lot of other things that can be done to
make up for this limit and have a reasonably accurate rule.
Other improvements to my rule below could also be to make the content
search have offset and depth restrictions. This way you could alert for any
ICMP message whose body doesn't start with 00's. It still would fail to
detect large ICMP packets starting with a bunch of 00's and then containing
nonzero data, but it's pretty close to what you want and gives you a rule
that is mostly usable.
What about this? (sid changed to a local-rules sid range)
alert icmp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"ICMP nonzero Large ICMP
dsize: >800;content:! "|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|00|"; classtype:bad-unknown;
Admittedly it only detects 8 00 bytes before deciding to ignore the packet,
but you can expand it to more to reduce the false-negative rate.
Given your request for this, I take it you're trying to ignore AIX MTU
probes, which use large pings of 00's.
Your other option, a little better, is to have a pass rule which passes
ICMP echo's with the don't fragment bit set and contents of a whole pile of
zero's, then leave the original rule intact. This way you have a lesser
chance of passing things other than the AIX probes.
