It's Sew Emma Spotlight: On the Boardwalk
Lucy's Crab Shack is finally here, and we've been dying to tell you about our next Little P, On the Boardwalk. I actually dreamed up this quilt one night, believe it or not! As soon as I woke up, I got to work, and out came On the Boardwalk.
If On the Boardwalk were a person, specifically our sample in Lucy's Crab Shack, I imagine he'd be a free spirited beach bum with a collection of bikes and surfboards who has sand in his toes more often than not!
Of course this pattern allows you to add whatever personality you'd like with its big blocks just begging for fun novelty prints! A super easy quilt that you can finish in just a few hours, you'll be whipping them out right and left, for everyone you know! Right before Market, we were able to whip out a few more, like our Secret Santa..
..and Barnyard Dance versions.
And like all of our Little P's, all you need are a few fat quarters, background, binding and backing.
What will you use??
Shop owners, you can find this pattern as ISE-502 at United Notions, Checker Distributors, Brewer and EE Schenck!

I love On the Broadwalk! I've already made one out of Little Apples. I should add that is it so easy to peice, I went from fabric to a quilt top in about two hours the other night. It took longer to quilt! I'm pretty sure it is my new 'go to' baby quilt pattern :)

Need help with fixing compatibility in our 15g
We have recently stocked our 10gallon with the Glowlight Danios. Originally this was to be my 5year old's "pet" and has turned into my job rather quickly. I'm having trouble keeping these fish alive and fins intact.
Our tank currently consists of 5 Glowlight Danios, 5 Glowlight Tetras, and 1 Neon Tetra (there used to be more, and the one little guy has been doing rather well with the rest of the fish).
I have had our water tested several times and its always exactly where it should be. I've woken up several mornings to find fin-less fish stuck in the filter. The tank is right next to my desk and so I am constantly trying to see which fish are doing this. Is there something I should be doing that I'm not? Are these fish just not compatible? I currently have one Glowlight Danio that I hope is going to make it, since it is currently missing its caudal fin.
What are your water parameters? ammonia/nitrite/nitrate?
Danios can get nippy, especially when not given proper room to swim. they are very active swimmers and need long spaces to swim.
do you notice any aggression during feeding/nighttime/daytime?
what is the current filtration?

I'm going to be honest with you and say I really don't know the exact numbers. Ive taken water samples to the store and they test it for me. I have the test strips but am not sure what the water should be.
I don't ever notice aggression, so I'm assuming it happens when we're sleeping and all the lights are out. The danios are always fast to eat but never really bother the others.
The filter that we are using is an Aqueon 20. The tank is clean and never cloudy. The temperature is set at 78 degrees.
Could I just have aggressive danios? Should I take the tetras back and just get a couple more Danios? None of the danios have died, but I do have one that has a bitten off fin (though I have no way of knowing which fish did it.)

Honestly? The danios don't really belong in a 10gal tank - they need a lot of swimming space (length-wise) and don't stay very small (I'm sure you have baby fish).
It's in your best interest to get yourself a good liquid test kit instead of using test strips (we usually recommend the API freshwater) - what do you mean by your parameters are "always where they should be"? Does this mean the pet store dips a strip and tells you "your water is fine"? They (the strips) aren't accurate. It appears you are in the middle of "cycling" (going through the nitrogen cycle) your tank - if you want to do what's best for the fish in the tank you will need to keep on top of the water parameters yourself so you know exactly how high your readings for ammonia, nitrites & nitrates are - those readings will tell you how often and how much water to change in your tank. A cycled tank shows 0 for ammonia & nitrites, 20 or less for nitrates (NOT zeros for everything).
If I were you, in addition to getting a liquid test kit, I would return the danios & the neon & get more glowlights as they are schooling fish & are appropriate for that sized tank - a few more would make them happier - but 1st, once you return the danios, I would make sure the tank is cycled (there is an article in the beginners section you can read) before getting more fish.

My son was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic on January 17, 2004. He was 9 years old. In the beginning phases of his adjustment to his diabetes, it was really hard to get him to wear the basic bracelets and dog tag necklaces that were on the market. One day I found this web site online, and I have ordered many kids medical bracelets for him since. I have had the best luck with the products, they are durable, comfortable, stylish, and he wears his bracelets all of the time and they don't bother him at all. I have found that your company has provided most excellent service. Years ago, my son lost his bracelet. I panicked and placed a rush order, requesting a new engraved bracelet as quickly as possible. I will never forget the feeling of relief that I had the next day when I found the bracelet at my door. I look forward to being able to continue purchasing more products from your company in the future. It's nice to know that you are there for our medical bracelet needs. Thank you for your services. You rock!

- PURCHASED SPEED RACER FOR MY 3YR. OLD GRANDSON. HE HAS TYPE 1 DIABETES. HE SAYS THE BRACLET LOOKS COOL. Review by SAM
QUALITY IS GREAT. LOOKS LIKE IT WILL STAND UP TO THE ABUSE OF A 3YR. OLD BOY. (Posted on 11/18/16)
- Great bracelet Review by Natalie
I bought the speed racer for my son who stated Preschool. I could tell his teacher was nervous with him having hemophilia and decided to get him one for peace of mind. My son doesn't even realize what it is for. He loves wearing it because of the cars. I found it was the best way to get him to wear it and have the teacher know what to do in case of an emergency. I recommend this medic bracelet (Posted on 3/19/15)
- 5yr old just loves it! Review by Alain
This bracelet is just perfect for my 5 year old son who has allergic reactions to penicillin. It fits just right, it's lightweight and it's pretty! My son doesn't even want to remove it to go to bed! (Posted on 10/10/13)
- cute! Review by Jamie Pattullo
Love the bracelet for my 7 year old. Just wearing it around the house he slipped it off over his hand so I hopefully just need to make it more snug when he wears it out and about. Wish the buckle were sturdier but it will hopefully hold up. Band is super-cute. Very pleased and shipping was super-fast! (Posted on 2/19/13)
- Great for my little Man! Review by Mark Kimble
When we found out our little guy who is only 2 had Epilepsy we were terrified but believe it or not this little bracelet puts a little ease to that knowing that if something happens the right people will know how to treat him instantly! And believe it or not he loves to have it on! (Posted on 1/7/13)
- Perfect for my 5 yr. old! Review by Jessica
Found N-Style ID site to have the perfect selection for my needs! My 5 year old, who has just started kindergarten,has severe food allergies. He just loves his Speed Racer Medical Alert Bracelet & I feel better knowing that not only does my son likes wearing it, but I know this is a helpful tool in keeping my son safe while in school. Look forward to ordering different styles for him in the near future! (Posted on 9/21/12)
- Love them! Review by Jennifer
These med alert bracelets make my twins life much easier! The easy clasp buttons are quick to take on and off! The racer car design is perfect for my boys taste! Instead of cutting the excess length of material, I just tucked it underneath the ID and when they grow, I can just loosen the bracelet! (Posted on 7/26/12)
- Awesome Review by Carolin Best
This was for my 5 year old grandson and we needed something he would want to wear when he goes out. It was a hit he loves it and does not want to take it off!!! (Posted on 7/21/12)
- Quality bracelet and slider Review by Karen
The photos of the bracelets and metal sliders on the website don't do the product enough justice. I am pleased with the quality of both pieces. My 6 y.o. son loves to wear the bracelet. It doesn't look like your typical boring, metal medical bracelet. Plus, N-Style bracelets don't pull on little arm hairs like the metal ones may. Thanks for a great product !! (Posted on 5/16/12)
- fantastic and practical Review by jill

When I try to pose him, his other parts flop around and look stupid.
My daughter told me to "play" with Thrust and Drift. I told her it wouldn't be fair; any Decepticon could mop the floor with that emo pretty boy. Even freaking Laserbeak could decimate him in a matter of ten seconds.


text: My Eden is now nearly two months old - and I am still looking for a suitable case. It's interesting how the diy case market has failed with the introduction of the ITX motherboard. The board itself is great - a little over 17cm each side and about 3cm high. The cases are all huge bricks - like scaled down mini-towers and desktops. How about something 18cm a side and 10 cm high - enough for a board and a psu and a disk ?

Shares of cable operator Charter Communications (CHTR) are up $7.86, or almost 9%, at $97.95, following a report from The Wall Street Journal's Dennis Berman and Martin Peers that Liberty Media's (LMCA) chairman John Malone is considering buying 25% of the company for $2.5 billion, citing unnamed sources.
Liberty shares are down $1.33, or 1.2%, at $109.04, while shares of Cablevision Systems (CVC), which is a perennial subject of M&A speculation, are up 24 cents, or 1.7%, at $14.32. Shares of the U.S.'s largest cable operator, Comcast (CMCSA), are down 38 cents, or 0.9%, at $40.33.
Lazard Capital's Barton Crockett, who has a Buy rating on Liberty shares, writes this afternoon that such a deal seems to him "credible," but that a deal won't necessarily happen.
Liberty might be induced to make a Charter investment in order simply to put some of its cash to work, and given that Malone knows cable "very well," he observes:
Liberty Media, by our calculation, could afford this investment, if it sold some of its non-core public equity stakes. We see net cash at Liberty, post Starz spin and other stock transactions, including acquiring control of Sirius, at $1.7B. We see another $1.1B of investments in non-core publicly traded securities that could be sold, including $200M plus stakes in Time Warner, Time Warner Cable, and Viacom. Liberty holds another $800M of strategic stakes in publicly traded securities that are unlikely to be sold, including Barnes & Noble convertible preferred, and Live Nation equity (where Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei last week was named chairman).

broonie asked what's wrong with switch statements?
The default behaviour of switch statements is broken, it's too easy to forget a break and introduce a fall-through bug. That's harder to do with the if-else-if-else form.
Breaking after each case should have been the default and continue should have been required to explicitly fall through. It wouldn't even have needed a new keyword.

Well, having spent 2.5 hours going through the SDCC schedule and calendaring in the stuff that needs to be done and such, we've found that Friday is just not likely to work because Hasbro's (very short) Star Wars/Indy panel is at 1, Sansweet's SW overall panel is at 4, and Steve and Tycho and I have schedule conflicts all over the place that day.
However, Thursday looks really open after the Sideshow panel. Steve and Tycho have plans in the late afternoon, but free time between. UNFORTUNATELY, Steve's schedule just got a little tighter, an appointment at 1, so we're going to do our lunch on the lawn after the Sideshow panel and then Steve's appointment, on Thursday, around 2pm to 4 or "question mark?".
Last year we hit this awesome sandwich shop and then ate on this nice lawn just across the street from the convention center. Assuming the lawn isn't occupied, we could do the same this year.
Hope to see you guys there!

When Magellan got to Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America, the people he found there wore no clothes, and would lie down on a snowbank to sleep. If they could do it, why can't we? The answer, as usual, is practice. I determined to raise my base metabolic rate, initially by sleeping with one arm out on top of the blankets. In an astonishingly short time -- a couple of months -- I was finding any sort of blanket too hot, and now a sheet is plenty cozy at 60°F/15°C/298K. I still have a way to go before sleeping in a snowbank, but I have not needed a coat this winter.
Upgraded to firefox 10. Now it crashes unattended, again. 8 and before usually crashed in GC cycle detection. 9 didn't crash unattended, but crashed in regular use, somewhat less often. Now, the 10 crashes seem to have something to do with timer expiration. (Recall this is 32-bit ff running on 64-bit linux.) Maybe now it's just not fooling around for as long after it's gone corrupt. I count this as progress. [I spoke too soon. It crashes attended, too, and in the cycle collector; this time after barely 16 hours running; VSZ 3359988, RSS 2457468.]

From Precy Dumlao, Opalesque Asia:
The hedge fund industry's losses in April demonstrate "how dysfunctional governments in Europe and the U.S. can only give negative impact for the markets," according to Aaron Miller, President of Chicago, Illinois-based hedge fund AM Capital.
All major hedge fund indices reported losses in April with hedge fund data provider Hedge Fund Research reporting that its HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index declined -0.36% during the month (+4.42% YTD) on investors' resurgent concern over the European sovereign debt crisis and uncertainty surrounding the outcome and implications of European elections. The Eurekahedge Hedge Fund Index also fell -0.07% during the month as well as the Hennessee Hedge Fund Index which reported a -0.38% decline in the same period (+4.02% YTD).
"The macro outlook took a turn for the worse with Europe coming back into the daily markets and now the leaders who agreed on austerity lost their elections," Miller said. "I am more in favor in the short term of printing money than complete austerity however the fact that things are so uncertain in Europe can't be a positive for the market.

Slayer: Grave New World
Slayer may be entering their most productive, responsible and affable period, but one listen to World Painted Blood reveals that the guys haven't lost their signature hardcore metal edge. It's more like they've honed it. Written against a backdrop of economic collapse, the swine flu epidemic, foreign nuclear threats, protracted war and a general sense of increased global unrest, World Painted Blood's tormented sounds, pit-inducing riffage, logic-defying solos and demented lyrics are as relevant, and vicious, as ever. From the determined marching-beat of the midtempo "Americon" to the ripping thrash punk of "Hate Worldwide" and "Psychopathy Red," the album is a terrifying collection of squealing and distorted classic thrash. In other words, it's Slayer just the way we like them.
When Guitar World arrives at Slayer's rehearsal studio in Chino, King and Hanneman are geared up and raring to go. The band has finished all tracking and punch-ins, and Fidelman is completing final mixes for World Painted Blood. The guys have just wrapped up two weeks of intensive rehearsals and are about to kick off a short tour, dubbed Canadian Carnage, with coheadliners Megadeth before jumping on this summer's mammoth Rockstar Mayhem Fest with Marilyn Manson, Killswitch Engage, Bullet for My Valentine, Trivium, Cannibal Corpse, Job for a Cowboy, Behemoth and others.
In the following interview, Hanneman and King dig deep into their pasts to reveal the at times dark details that ultimately led them to their latest, bloodiest creation.
GUITAR WORLD To kick things off, I've always wondered about your first guitars and amps. Do you remember the first instruments you picked up?
JEFF HANNEMAN I think it was a Fender Reverb amp, because that's all I could afford. It wasn't very big and it didn't even sound that great. I mean, it wasn't a Marshall. My first guitar was a Les Paul that I bought off a friend for 500 bucks. I worked a long time to save up enough money for it. I did telephone solicitations for the marshals—you know, the police. I would call old ladies and say, "Can you give us money?" [laughs] And I was actually good at it! I was selling that shit, because I wanted that Les Paul. Then when I had enough money to buy it, I immediately quit.
GW Kerry, what were your first instruments?
KERRY KING Man, I think my dad lived vicariously through me. He would get the [local classified paper] Recycler all the time to see who was selling what. I played whatever caught his eye in the paper, because back then I didn't know what I wanted to play.
My dad had a Gibson ES-175 lying around the house, and I learned to play on that for a while. He also had a Fender 1963 L Series Strat with a tobacco sunburst finish, which is probably worth a ton of money right now [roughly $30,000]. But we traded it for the B.C. Rich Mockingbird that I eventually used on our first album, so it served its purpose well. Thank you, Mr. L Series Strat.
When I started doing shows, I had a Fender Super Showman, but it didn't take me long to get the Marshall thing going. My practice amp back then, which I still have today, is a Fender Super Champ. Those things are awesome.
GW Did you take lessons?
KING I took lessons for the first 18 months. My teacher was this doctor of music theory, which to this day is a topic I know nothing about. But he taught me how to structure leads with whatever rhythms are behind you. I went back to the same teacher before Seasons in the Abyss. If you listen to the leads on South of Heaven and compare them to Seasons, it sounds like a different guy. South of Heaven is a guy who didn't care and just made up some horseshit leads. But I started seeing my name in guitar polls and I thought, If I'm in these polls, I'd better at least know what I'm doing. So I started paying more attention and putting respect into what I was doing with my instrument. I'm sure I still don't do it "right," but it makes sense to me.
HANNEMAN I took a few lessons, but I really sucked at it because I didn't want to be taught by anybody. Kerry and I actually met at that place where I was doing the phone solicitation job. He was in the building trying out for a band. Because I was always working there I knew the musicians and I would hang out and play guitar with them once in a while. So Kerry was there and he looks over at me and goes, "You wanna start a band?" And I'm like, "Yeah, why not." Kerry had been playing a lot longer than I had; I was still learning. I knew right then and there that I had to learn how to play guitar really quickly or I wouldn't be able to be in the band. As Tom likes to say, "The next thing you know, Jeff's writing all the songs." [laughs]


text: I have posted this before but for you I will post it once again. This was our very first junior hunt test when my dog Sunny was just a year old. I was so nervous that when one of the judges said nine which was the cue to release my dog I said nine instead of her name. The picture quality isn't very good, I think my brother was as nervous as I was. We are now running in Field Trials with the BIG dogs but I still enjoy looking at this video. Best of luck to you.

April 2014 MBI: Strong Growth Continues
With a reading of 53.6, Gardner's April metalworking business index showed that the metalworking industry continues to grow at a fast pace.
Steven Kline, Jr.
Director of Market Intelligence, Gardner Business Media
With a reading of 53.6, Gardner's April metalworking business index showed that the metalworking industry continues to grow at a fast pace. In each of the first four months of this year, the index has been above 53.0, and the industry grew six of the last seven months. The metalworking industry is still on the uptrend that began in August. In April, the index was 10.5 percent higher than it was one year earlier, the second month in a row that it grew by more than 10 percent. Annually, the industry has grown at an accelerating rate the last two months.
New orders increased for the seventh month in a row, at a steadily accelerating rate. Production also has expanded for seven months, and in recent months it has increased slightly faster than new orders. Therefore, backlogs contracted two out of the previous three months. Yet, compared to one year earlier, backlogs are increasing at a rapid rate. The annual rate of change in backlogs continues to accelerate, which is a positive sign for future capacity utilization levels and capital spending. Employment has expanded since October, but the rate of hiring slowed slightly in April. Exports began to contract once again, while supplier deliveries continued to lengthen at a rate similar to what we have seen since November.
Material prices have increased at a noticeably faster rate in 2014 compared to 2013. However, prices received contracted in April for the first time since August. Future business expectations remain strong even though they have fallen from their high level in the first three months of the year.
After contracting for two months, future capital spending plans increased in March and then again in April, when they were 17.9 percent higher than a year earlier. That is the strongest month-over-month rate of change since November, and it moved the annual rate of change back into positive territory.

07.03.12 – BEBE WINANS talks with TJMS about performing July 4th on Good Morning America and his special "Bebe Winans' America America" will air on Centric.
Critically acclaimed inspirational, R&B and gospel vocalist BeBe Winans is best known as part of the celebrated Winans family. Similar to the Jackson family's impact on pop music, and the Carter and Cash families' history with country, the Winans family is truly gospel music royalty. Also an award-winning songwriter and producer, BeBe Winans has achieved notoriety both as part of the hit-making duo BeBe & CeCe Winans and as a solo artist. (Still, the long-awaited duet CD and first Bebe & CeCe album in 15 years, is approaching Gold.) Winans takes his artistic gifts to the next level with an uplifting new collection of patriotic songs, AMERICA AMERICA, a celebration of the heritage and history that we all share.
In the midst of an important election year, this would seem to be a perfect time to remind ourselves in the U.S. of all that we hold dear. "I'm on a mission to share these songs with as many people as possible," Winans says. "As a nation, we are going through hard times; people are in need of an uplift. My hope is that these songs can be that, and much more."
With the exception of three new songs written by Winans – the beautifully hopeful title track "America America," the upbeat "We're The United States of America," and the poignant "Ultimate Sacrifice" – the album is comprised of songs long in the public domain. But what is amazing about this new collection is that Winans' soulful, distinctive tenor gives the songs new life, as if we are hearing them for the first time.
"The inspiration for AMERICA AMERICA is the time we are living in," he explains. "Sometimes, we forget that we are all Americans. At sporting events, when the national anthem is sung, everyone stands – black, white, rich, poor – everyone."
The cherished "Star Spangled Banner" brings up poignant memories of his dear friend and frequent musical collaborator, the late Whitney Houston. She spoke with Winans about the revered anthem prior to performing a game-changing rendition of it before the 1991 Super Bowl XXV. He spoke with her again about the highly regarded hymn before recording his version for AMERICA AMERICA. (Winans also won a Grammy Award for co-producing the song "Jesus Loves Me" on Houston's smash hit film soundtrack for The Bodyguard.)
He was actually working on another album when the idea for AMERICA AMERICA came to him, motivated by the challenges Americans from all walks of life are facing on a daily basis. "Lift Every Voice" and "America The Beautiful" are familiar to us, but Winans was able to bring who he is as an artist to these songs, giving each an inspired freshness. Each track on AMERICA AMERICA is approached with reverence, sung with grace and filled with encouragement. This includes the glorious title track and first single, "America America," a soaring, affirmative tribute to this great country that we all share. A touching video for the single, shot in New York City and in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., by David Warshauer [artist credits], will soon be available.
"I have seen the power of music," Winans says. "I want the nation to heal through this music. When our country is united, we find the path to success.

Consistent Clarion Quality
By simply upgrading your stock OEM radio to the Clarion CX201, you will bring a whole new level of audio into your car. This entry-level double DIN car stereo is a solid, stable receiver with plenty of options for the casual listener. The basic face and easy-to-use interface makes the transition from stock radio to aftermarket seamless. The CX210 offers playback of all your favorite media, including CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. The receiver is designed to read MP3 and WMA files for convenience. Clarion has a built-in 3-band equalizer to make those simple audio adjustments.
The Clarion CX201 has all the connectivity that you could ask for. With a front panel 3.5mm auxiliary input and USB port, you can listen to just about all your portable music in the car. There are options to add SIRIUS radio, HD Radio, iPod control, and steering wheel controls. Plus, the 2 sets of preamp outputs make it easy to complete an entire aftermarket audio system.
General Features:
Playback and Audio Features:
Expandability Options:
Single DIN: 1 DIN dimensions will work with all single DIN installation kits we have to offer. Single DIN radios are the most common size for after-market stereos.
Single DIN slot with flip-out screen: The DIN stereo includes a retractable, flip-out screen. Before purchasing, make measurements to be sure there is no interference with dash accessories such as A/C vents or shift levers.
Single DIN slot with a larger face: Standard single DIN size, but the display is larger then the standard single DIN size. Due to the nature of the larger face, problems may arise when installing in particular vehicles. These stereos are great for single DIN slots where you want a larger screen.
1.5 DIN: This size is very uncommon in vehicles, however this size opening is most commonly found in Chrysler and Chevrolet vehicles.
Double DIN: Approximately 4-inches in height, this size is becoming more common every year. Prior to 2000, this size was typically only found in Japanese vehicles such as those made by Honda or Toyota. Now, it is becoming more popular for many vehicles to be fit with a Double DIN opening.
Detachable / Removable faceplate security: The most common anti-theft feature. It allows you to take the faceplate with you, thus disallowing operation, which deters theft.
Security Codes: Mainly a feature in high end video units which do not have a detachable face / screen. Once the unit is uninstalled (or stolen), a security code (or PIN) is required upon reinstallation. Though you no longer have your unit after the theft, the thief also does not have your security code, which makes the unit useless. The hope is the thief knows which units have security codes and he/she chooses not to steal your unit because of the security code.
Ghost technology: This is not commonly used, but can be found primarily in a select number of 2004-2005 head units. It creates an illusion that no unit is installed by appearing completely black when turned off. Potential thieves may steer clear because it appears as though no head unit is installed.
Anti-theft covers: Similar to ghost and hiding faces because they only create an illusion that the face/unit is not in place.
ESN: Stands for Electronic Serial Number. Allows the disabling of the radio and allows tracking if it is stolen.
Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal to consumers. The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
Dot-Matrix Text Display: A simple display which uses dots in specific illuminated color(s) to light up and form letters or numbers that are displayed on the receiver.
Graphic or Motion Display: Typically found in mid to high-end receivers and give your text information and receiver more life by adding motion, backgrounds, or multiple colors to your display. There are types of graphic displays such as 3D Graphic, Motion, and OEL (Organic Electroluminescent) displays. They can range from one color to full color displays and typically allow you to select from one of many built-in animations, background images, screensavers or other graphics to enhance your experience and add an extra bit of personality to your system. Some units also come with software that allow you to load your own customizable pictures or animations.
LCD Monitor Display: Can be as small as 2" or as large as 10". Some LCD displays are motorized for angle adjustment. LCD monitors display full motion video playback as well as your standard text such as track status, radio station information and more depending on the receiver's features.
Multi-Color: When more than one color is on the display, for example one part of the text is white, while the other part is blue.
Variable-Color: The display colors can be changed by the user. If the default color of text/display is blue for example, the user can change the settings to where the color turns to red. Variable color displays are typically described in detail in the item's description.
TFT-LCD Display: In-dash receivers with a video screen that display multiple colors and often times video such as DVD, navigation or other video sources.
This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.
RCA Composite Inputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
This is commonly referred to as a mini-jack or a headphone jack. It is a 3.5mm plug that transfers audio only. There is a right and left audio channel on the plug which allows for stereo sound playback.
3.5mm AV Input
These plugs look similar to the common 3.5mm mini-jack, however they carry a third channel dedicated for video.
This means that an auxiliary input is possible, but only with the use of an optional accessory. These optional adapters will sometimes use the CD Changer port or other port on the back of a unit that might restrict the use of other expandability features. These accessories are typically sold separately.
Some in-dash head units are built-in with the navigation features, while others require an add on navigation box. Other navigation options include portable navigation units that you can take with you or attach to the dash of your vehicle.
RCA Composite Outputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
If "Yes", then the aftermarket stereo is compatible with steering wheel remote controls. If an additional accessory is required for the steering wheel controls to work properly, a compatible piece will be listed.

This stereo is definitely better than a factory radio because you have more control over the sound. However if you do not know anything about setting the EQ, you should read up on it. It does have preset EQ's which you can also use. In my truck with aftermarket speakers, metal music doesn't sound as good as it was wit my stock stereo even with the EQ properly adjusted to metal. If you're all about BASS then definitely get this because you can make your subs bump harder then you can imagine, be careful cuz you will definitely blow them with this up if your amp isn't set properly.

Overall I thought this sounded pretty good on my aftermarket 6x8's. It has decent functionality but is a little tough to learn the controls. If it says it will fit a ford f series but does not without modification. If I were to say this is better than the jvc or kenwood I would probably say yes. I am crucial on the bad points but it has lots of nice features.

I was looking for something simple to go into my wifes Oldsmobile and this fit the bill nicely. Its been in the car for about 6 months now and all is well. One problem with it that I noticed is that the Samsung Galaxy wont play through the USB port. Although it doesnt claim too either, I just assumed it would (my bad). I had to get an adapter to get it to work. The apple stuff all works good though.

This radio was easy to install. It worked as advertised. The controls are easy and relatively intuitive. I love the aux input. You just plug in a thumb drive with your favorite songs and go. Easy. The drawback of this radio is that the display is very difficult to see in the day time when it is sunny. Overall a good product for the money.

I bought this stereo and love the looks but cant get it to play loud. My factory one was way louder. I'm still figuring out what might be the issue. I drive an 07 jeep wrangler.

I bought this to replace my in dash 6 disc changer of my 04 Forester. I don't need DVD, GPS nav or even bluetooth. I did however want simple styling, power and a few preamp RCA outs for a future amp. USB on the front panel is awesome. Aux plug also a plus. I remember when you paid premium for an aux on the front panel.
What really sold me on this radio was the ability to plug a sirius tuner withOUT the need for a costly adapter plug. That folks is worth the price of admission here.
After letting the wife drive my car in rush hour traffic for a week. I was purchasing another radio for her 2005 Outback. That installation included removing the whole radio/climate control fascia and replacing. But all went smoothly and I have to say we are still very happy with the performance, capabilities and the sound quality of this radio.

I bought this to replace my factory double din in my 02 Buick Regal. The EQ took a minute to get used to but it sounds way better than stock, even with stock speakers. The USB port is the best feature if you don't want to carry a bunch of cd's around. You also have quite a bit more control over your sub.

I was using Sony XAV63 in my i20 almost for a year, the sound system was good but in terms of clarity it is nowhere close to clarion.
It took some time to install it, slightly longer for understanding the settings, once that is done be prepared for being amazed by the sound quality. The clarity is simply amazing. Highly recommended for those who want some good sound quality music system.

THE NORTH COUNTY SECTION of the Palm Beach County Bar is presenting a course at Florida Atlantic University in Jupiter titled "Law in the Real World." Each week a lecture is provided by an attorney regarding his or her particular area of practice. "The course is designed to introduce the students to the various legal specialties using real world stories to illustrate how the law affects both their personal and professional lives," said Michael Slavin, chair of the North County Section's Education Committee. "This is also a great opportunity for pre-law students to gain a better understanding of the various specialties before entering law school." The section also assisted FAU in its moot court course by providing attorneys to help judge the students before a national competition. Pictured is paralegal Debra Gerstemeier of McHale & Slavin in Palm Beach Gardens, working with intern Celine Rodriguez from FAU's Honors College. Rodriguez is majoring in "Law and Society."

On a recent speaking trip to Dallas, I had the opportunity to spend some time with a good friend who is also a social media expert.
Dave Nelsen, who lives in Pittsburgh, is a business executive, entrepreneur, and he seems to understand how to harness the power of social media.
Dave was born in the Silicone Valley area of California and is a Stanford graduate who moved to Pittsburgh in 1995 to work with a start-up company. He has two sons, 19 and 16, who are his friends on Facebook and help him connect to social media.
Most of what he learned about social media was through is role as the CEO of TalkShoe, a company that let people produce their own podcasts. He used social media tools to build that company.
Dave now does seminars worldwide, teaching business people how to use social media to build their businesses.
I asked Dave why it is important for people to learn about social media to promote their businesses or their companies.
He related that social media allow us to actually connect with clients and customers on a one-to-one basis and that accelerates learning on both sides.
"When we're actually in such a conversation," said Dave, "we learn. We build a relationship. We build trust. And that trust is part of how we sell. That's what I love about social media."
Just so you'll know, Dave has been my mentor in social media for a number of months. He helped me see the great value of creating and placing videos on YouTube and has encouraged me to become active on Twitter. Before I started working with Dave, I knew nothing about social media.
Dave said that the whole concept of social media, with all its intricacies, can become confusing to the average person. Thus, he recommends focusing on one aspect at a time and getting to know that process. He said, "Pick one and just do it! Focus on it, master it, and then move on."
That's why, with his guidance, I simply focused on YouTube at first. Now I have my own YouTube channel (YouTube.com/user/BoazPowerTV) and have over 60 videos already posted on that channel.
Dave related that these social media services are free and all we have to do is figure out how to use them. Part of the power, Dave told me, comes from people looking for something that people post on social media and then they can be found.
"The key," Dave said, "is to create value for viewers in a target audience. You want to create value for them in order to build a relationship that will ultimately return to you. It's the same concept as in the movie Pay It Forward."
If you wish to contact Dave about his work in social media, he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
He has helped me to begin to understand the power of social media and has a wonderful way of explaining something complex in a way that I can understand.
Both the "30 Day Prosperity Plan" CD and the "Can Do Program for Kids" CD are now available, with e-book bonuses, at the Boaz Power Store on my web site: Boazpower.com.
Once you purchase, you'll be able to instantly download the audio files and the e-books.
A Social Media Affirmation

Heading into the 1970s, Sly & the Family Stone were known for their good-time hits like "Everyday People," "Dance to the Music" and "Hot Fun in the Summertime." The band then released There's a Riot Going On, a far darker album–even if did contain "Family Affair" and was later hailed as a classic–that marked the beginning of the end for the band's popularity.
Brazil has its own riots going on today, and while they surely don't mark the end of its popularity as an investment destination–stock investors have been avoiding it for a while now, as the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index ETF (EWZ) has dropped 8% a year for the past three years–they're another sign of just how messy Brazil has become.
The protests also raise serious questions about Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's ability to win elections next year, says Nomura's Tony Volpon. He writes:
The main factor leading to a rethink of her election chances are expressions of popular dissatisfaction, from protests over public transportation tariff hikes in major cities that at times have turned violent, to President Rousseff receiving a less-than-welcome public response as she appeared at the opening of the Confederate Cup"s football tournament this weekend.
Political commentators and analysts see worrying trends in these protests. The "new middle class", the bed rock of support for the current government, looks increasingly restless and worried about maintaining recent economic gains. If, as many believe, unemployment rates begin to rise and real consumption levels fall due to sticky inflation, support from this key constituency could weaken. Add to this the view, shared by many within policy circles, that the government has become insular and alienated, facing a series of problems in managing its political base of support.
Volpon doesn't consider a Rousseff loss his "base case," but says her reelection, he says, is "materially less certain."
Still, it's worth pointing out that Rousseff has had a far different response to the protests than her counterpart in Turkey. The Wall Street Journal reports:
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff on Tuesday acknowledged the weight of massive public protests in recent days, saying in a speech that such actions, even when directed against her administration, showed the vibrancy of the country's democracy.
"Brazil is stronger today than it was yesterday," the president said in a televised speech. "The size of yesterday's demonstrations showed how important democracy is to our people."
That response highlights the differences between the two countries, at least recently. Turkey has a light touch with its businesses but a heavy-handed approach to its citizens, while Brazil intervenes in the economy and lets its population be.
Right now, investors aren't happy with either approach. The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index ETF has dropped 0.3% to $47.26 today and 13% during the past month of tarding, while iShares MSCI Turkey Investable Market Index ETF (TUR) has dropped 1.1% to $63.20 today and 17% during the past month. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) has gained 0.2% to $39.75 today, while dropping 8.5% during the past month.

Yes, according to the folks at Pavilion Global Markets. And investors will have U.S. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to thank for boost.
In a note today, Pavilion's Pierre Lapointe, Alex Bellefleur and Frances Donald explain:
With a more dovish Fed and a stabilization in U.S. rates (both real and nominal), the severe outflows that have occurred from EMs should take a pause. We are not saying that all is well with EMs – quite the contrary. A number of important EMs have 'business models' that are now highly questionable given the rebalancing of Chinese growth and their persistent external imbalances. We only believe that the external conditions that favored a violent EM selloff in recent months are no longer present, giving structurally weak countries breathing room in the near term.
They also note that investors appear to have come to terms with emerging markets sluggish economic growth.
By now, almost everyone knows that EMs are struggling, and the last believers in the old pre-2011 theory that "growth is higher in EMs therefore they should be bought" seem to have capitulated. Interestingly, this occurs as EM economic data releases – which, on the whole, remain weak – are no longer disappointing markets to the same extent as earlier this year. This is not necessarily because the data has improved, but rather because expectations have been reduced. In the short run, given current market pricing, the bar has been lowered for many EMs and they are more likely to print economic data on par with, or slightly above, what is expected by markets. Our China view has not changed: the country's economy is slowing down. Yet we feel that this is increasingly well understood by markets, again making the case that major disappointments are perhaps not on the immediate horizon.
Emerging markets are getting no such lift today, however, because China's economic data was once again disappointing. The HSBC Flash China Manufacturing PMI fell to 47.7, its lowest since August 2012 and well below the 50 level that signals expansion. HSBC's Hongbin Qu sums up the disappointment:
The lower reading of the July HSBC Flash China Manufacturing PMI suggests a continuous slowdown in manufacturing sectors thanks to weaker new orders and faster destocking. This adds more pressure on the labour market. As Beijing has recently stressed to secure the minimum level of growth required to ensure stable employment, the flash PMI reinforces the need to introduce additional fine-tuning measures to stabilise growth.

Fisherman dies chasing fish that stole his pole
BERLIN (Reuters) - A fish caught in an east German lake near the Polish border not only got off the hook but also lured a 46-year-old fisherman to his death, police in the eastern town of Eisenhuettenstadt said Tuesday.
A police spokeswoman said the fish pulled the fishing rod out of the man's hands and dragged it about 100 metres away from shore at the Kleinen Pohlitzer lake near Eisenhuettenstadt. The man took off his clothes and swam after the pole.
An eyewitness said the man reached the rod floating on the surface but then suddenly stopped moving. The witness, 54, swam out to help him and pulled the fisherman back to shore, where he was later pronounced dead, police said.
"I know it sounds like an incredible story but it really happened," an Eisenhuettenstadt police spokeswoman said. "It was apparently just an ordinary fish."

Sainte-Croix/Les Rasses
Dream makers create automata and music boxes in Sainte-Croix, a village offering a panoramic view of the Alps. Skiers and hikers enjoy the slopes in Les Rasses which are marked and prepared daily.
Perched on a terrace of the Jura, Sainte-Croix and its tourist resort Les Rasses offer a unique view of the Lake Geneva Region and the Alps.
Sainte-Croix focuses on an industrial activity: artistic mechanics, particularly automata and music boxes, whose masterpieces are exhibited at the International Centre for Artistic Mechanics (CIMA) in Sainte-Croix or at the Musée Baud for mechanical instruments in l'Auberson. The specialist, enthusiastic craftsmen who shape wood and metal are nicknamed dream makers.
Above the wintry fog layer, Les Rasses offers 9 ski lifts at an altitude of 1,150 and 1,580 metres: an ideal skiing area for beginners to improve their technique. From Les Rasses to Creux du Van, 65 km of cross-country and snowshoeing slopes are prepared every day.
Sainte-Croix / Les Rasses is located 20 minutes from Yverdon-les-Bains.

Just got back from this weekend... a pretty good time was had.
I ended up in Corvallis for the Install fest hosted by the Mid-Willamette LUG. I got there for the last little bit, so not much was happening. From what I heard, sounded like there were alot of people that showed, and lots of good things going on.
I stayed at Cooper and Kassetra's, talking all night, and the next day I took Cooper up to the Erma Bells. I fished the lakes, and he took pictures.... a couple of geeks doing their things in the woods. When we got back, I was so tired I didn't feel safe to drive, so I slept at their house. I just now got back, and I think I smell like a yeti, which isn't as bad as it sounds. ;^)
I got spidered by picsearch so I had a look at what they do. It's interesting to me, so I fired off an email to see if they have an URL Submit page that I can add to Castor.
As far as Castor goes, I've eliminated alot of the search engines that don't work for some reason or another, and I'm slowly picking through the ones that don't, and trying to figure out why. At least google, hotbot, northern lights, and excite (sometimes) work, so it's still a good tool. It just needs more love. obligatory link

Hi,do you know if i could do the same thing --> control led lights using a playlist of say 3 songs in max/msp and then sending it to arduino to change the led colors?
Unfortunately not actually beat detection, I was kinda hoping for some true 'beat detection' code which is extremely difficult.
I can add a few lines of code to estimate BPM if you were looking for something like that.
I did a little research into measuring tempo, aka BPM, and found it to be a very non exact science.
