Greatest UD primer
Eden is my favorite primer from UD! its a Matte texture which works best with shimmer eyeshadow and helps "pop" and eyeshadow as well. I recommend this any day! This is a MUST HAVE! if you haven't bought it yet! what are you waiting for? its worth every cent! lol more like Dollar
this is def a must have in anyone and everyone's makeup bag!! Eyeshadow primer is one thing but Urban decay's eyeshadow primer potion is another. Its simply the best, the reason i love so, is b/c it brightens the face, it bring youth to you the face, and it holds on to that shadow like no ones business. Its just a must all the shades are awsome so you really cant go wrong but i love love the eden , and sinful. it might be alil pricey but a dab will do ya..meaning its worth ur bucks fa real fa real. SHOUT TO EDEN lol
I got this product not too long ago and it works AMAZINGLY. i have really oily eyelids and this stuff keeps my eyeshadow on ALL DAY. before i got this, my eyeshadows would crease within 1 hour of putting them on, epsecially black eyeshadow. but now my eyeshadows last 8+ hours. sometimes with the black eyeshadow there is very small creasing but its wayyy better than before using this product! :)
There's better out there
This product worked wonders for me! ...until it creased on me. Now I don't use anymore. I actually used this product a lot of times until one day my eye makeup creased for some strange reason. So, I ended up buying NYX eye primer instead. Use it all the time hasn't creased on me yet. I have a friend who uses it too, she says it's the best.
Eyeshadow Primer Potion Eden
I always wondered why eyeshadow would come off during the day and then I tried all sorts of primers and none worked as good as this one. I like it a little lighter so that way the colors pop. ELF was what I use to wear but it wouldn't last all day for me while I am running around a hotel resort.
Go to
I use this primer with just about every look I do. Minus glitter and very powdery products. I've had the same one for about 2 years. I love how it gives me an even color and a little stick for all my colors. It's even good for my mattes that wouldn't like to blend by themselves
Conceals eyelid discoloration and is an amazing primer
This is like a 2 in one product. It conceals discoloration on my eyelids while working as a great eyeshadow primer. It definitely is the definition of a good eye primer, and it makes the eyeshadows appear extra vibrant. It is comparable to the MAC paint pot in soft ochre.
When I first got my UD primer in Eden I was super excited to try it out 'cause it was the first primer to try.
I have this primer for almost a year, a little goes a looong way, it conceals any redness on your eyelids or veins, it makes your eyeshadows pop and lasts forever!
I have normal to oily eyelids and Im in love with this primer, I don't know how it would work on dry eyelids 'cause UD in Eden is a ''dry'' product, it maybe would dry out your lids even more.
I call this primer my BFF! I would use it again and again and again.

Somehow, it trickled in with 19.4 seconds left and No. 3 Syracuse escaped with a 57-55 victory over No. 21 Cincinnati on Monday, its second scintillating win in three days.
"We didn't want to lose," said Michael Carter-Williams, whose dagger 3-pointer from the top of the key tied it at 55-all with 80 seconds left. "None of us like losing. We wanted to do anything to win that game. We picked up our intensity and our energy. We should have found that in the first half."
Syracuse had trailed by seven points with just over 5 minutes left, rallying for the victory in the final minute just as it had at then-No. 1 Louisville on Saturday in a 70-68 win. Carter-Williams had a go-ahead 3-pointer with 5:28 remaining, and his steal and slam dunk put the lid on that one as the Orange beat the Cardinals.
"Louisville was a tough, gritty game. We're banged-up and sore," Carter-Williams said. "To come back one day later and beat Cincinnati is a great feeling. We were a little fatigued. Now we get some rest."
C.J. Fair was credited with the game-winning tip but admitted afterward he wasn't sure who hit the ball.
"There were bodies down there and the ball just went in the hoop," Fair said. "I just raised my hand. I thought I did it, but maybe I got help. I don't know."
The Orange outscored the Bearcats 13-4 over the final minutes and Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin wore a frown after his team's third loss this season by two points or less.
"It was a batted ball in the air by three guys — two of their guys and one of our guys — that just happened to go in the basket," Cronin said. "I'm not giving him a tip-in, not when our guys were trying to hit it the other way. Stuff happens. We didn't get the stops defensively down the stretch. We got out-executed."
Cincinnati's Cashmere Wright missed a 3 from straight on with 2.9 seconds left, allowing the Orange to escape with their 35th straight win at home, the longest active streak in Division I.
Syracuse (18-1, 6-0 Big East), tied for third in the rankings with Kansas, is the only Big East team with an unblemished conference record and is 28-1 in regular-season play in the Big East the past two seasons, that lone loss coming at Notre Dame exactly one year ago Monday.
The Bearcats (16-4, 4-3) had won three straight. They lost on the road for the first time in eight games.
Carter-Williams had 16 points and seven assists and Brandon Triche had 13 points for the Orange.
Wright, who sprained his right knee last Tuesday in a win over DePaul and did not play in Cincinnati's overtime victory against Marquette on Saturday, finished with five points on 2-for-13 shooting. He was 1 of 8 on 3s.
Sean Kilpatrick led Cincinnati with 21 points and JaQuon Parker had 11.
Syracuse's James Southerland, tied for second on the team in scoring at 13.6 points per game, missed his third straight game because of an eligibility issue. He was in street clothes on the bench.
Cincinnati played the shot-clock game with its deliberate half-court approach and kept the game close despite a poor shooting performance in the opening half.
Trailing by just a basket at the break, the Bearcats started the second half with a 12-2 spurt keyed by consecutive 3-pointers from Parker when he was left unguarded in the right corner.
A high-arcing 3 by Kilpatrick was the fourth make in five tries from long range for the Bearcats and gave them a 36-29 lead with 13:46 left.
Carter-Williams responded with seven straight points, his 3 from the top of the key making it 36-all midway through the half.
Kilpatrick's sixth 3-pointer of the game and a layup by Cheikh Mbodj completed an 11-4 spurt that gave the Bearcats a 49-42 lead with 5:44 left.
Georgetown 63,
No. 24 Notre Dame 47
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Otto Porter scored 19 points to lead Georgetown to a 63-47 victory over No. 24 Notre Dame on Monday night, the Fighting Irish's third loss in four games.
It was a dismal night for Notre Dame's offense, which recorded season lows in points scored, field goal percentage (35 percent) and assists (11).
The Irish (15-4, 3-3 Big East) went on long stretches without scoring in both halves, while Georgetown (13-4, 3-3) shot 53 percent from the field.
It was Notre Dame's third Big East home loss over their past 24 conference home games. The game was reminiscent of last season's 59-41 win by Georgetown over the Irish in Washington, when the Hoyas held Notre Dame to its lowest point total in nearly four years by limiting the Irish to 33 percent shooting.
Jerian Grant led Notre Dame with 13 points.

Looking out from Bashan: the republic of Og
by Mark Reid
Price $24.95
- About the Book
Og is the last survivor of the giant races of the Old Testament, doomed to conquest by God's chosen people on their way to the Promised Land. Og is not only the king of the last of his people but, as a giant amongst ordinary sized humans, he also represents the monster within.
An exciting new collection of poems linked by a strong narrative into a poetic 'biography'.Praise for the Book
'Reid's words are understated, sometimes stark, and are employed with precision. This is a highly approachable collection that will be enjoyed by readers of poetry and short fiction.' Colosoul Magazine'Reid's fantasy is not a simple narrative but a dynamic series of portraits, offering cinema a bio-pic model with its many different views of his character Og.' Michael Farrell, The Australian
'Og is wonderfully primal and unexpected, a Biblical and gigantic character. Og is the naive power of perception and learning, a great craft afloat on his own oceanic curiosity.'

Google Play Music All Access subscription music service launches today, takes on Rdio, Spotify
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Google, Music
Google has just announced Google Play Music All Access at its Google I/O 2013 developer conference, the company's new subscription music service. Aside from givng you access to the millions of songs in Google's new streaming catalog, it will also incorporate tracks that you have stored in your Google Play Music account. The service launches today, and will cost $9.99 per month. Google offers a 30-day trial--sign up for the free trial by June 30th, you'll lock in a $7.99 per month rate, making it 20% cheaper than competing services like Rdio and Spotify.
It is expected that Apple will announce it's own streaming music service, possibly at WWDC 2013 in June, but rumors point to it being more akin to a Pandora Internet radio competitor than a full on streaming service where you can pick and choose individual tracks and albums that you want to listen to.

Interestingly, it appears that AppleCare support for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad is about to become much more of a pain for customers. This marks a significant change where Apple will seemingly make a decision to make the customer service experience worse rather than better, all in the name of saving a ton of money.

T-Mobile sells over 500,000 iPhone 5s in under a month
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds
Despite being the last major carrier to pick up the iPhone, T-Mobile is still seeing massive success thanks to the Apple smartphone. In fact, the company revealed that it has sold over 500,000 iPhone 5 units since the device went on sale on April 12th, less than a month ago. On that day, T-Mobile locations had lines out the door, which is almost unheard of for the carrier. Technically, the iPhone 5 went on sale after the end of the first quarter, so those 500,000 sales weren't accounted for. We will have to wait until next quarter to see how the iPhone is affecting T-Mobile revenue.

Bill Gates thinks iPad owners are frustrated without keyboard, Office
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Handhelds, PC / Laptop, Videos
Former Microsoft CEO, current mosquito-wrangler and public donator of his vast wealth, Bill Gates, was talking on CNBC about how he feels iPad users are frustrated about not having a physical keyboard and the lack of Microsoft Office. Curious among many where he is getting his data. Bill didn't waste any time proposing the Microsoft Surface tablet, which has Microsoft Office, as a better alternative, despite sales indicating the contrary. Perhaps, it might behoove Microsoft to go to its roots and start selling software instead of trying to sell an ecosystem. After all, we're in the 'Post PC-era' as coined by the late Steve Jobs. On the other hand, Bill is saying tablets are growing in popularity, and that, eventually, they'll be hard to distinguish between them and PCs. Catch the video after the break.
"With Windows 8, Microsoft is trying to gain share in what has been dominated by the iPad type device. A lot of those users are frustrated. They can't type. They can't create documents. They don't have Office there. So we're providing them something with the benefits they've seen that have made that a big category but without giving up what they expect in a PC." - Bill Gates

Apple is set to show off OS X 10.9 at WWDC 2013 (which sold out in less than two minutes this year) and the current rumors point to the inclusion of a tabbed Finder and iOS-style multitasking that will allow background apps to pause, freeing system resources up for the apps you are using at the time. Additionally, the Mission Control complaint that users with multiple monitors have been complaining about since the release of OS X 10.7 Lion will finally be addressed--if you have multiple monitors, you'll be able to have a space open on each one.
Other rumor mill nuggets point to both Siri and Apple Maps making their OS X debuts as well. We'll know more on June 10 when WWDC kicks off!

Duke Energy Tops List of Worst Utility Company Polluters
Four Ohio energy providers earn spot on Pear Energy's "Dirty Dozen"
Cincinnati's main gas and electricity provider, Duke Energy, has scored a No. 1 ranking, but it's not exactly one you'll be wanting to clap your hands about. Remember when we blogged a couple of weeks ago about how Greater Cincinnati has some of the worst air pollution in the nation? Yep, the American Lung Association's report, "State of the Air," gave us an "F" for ozone pollution, a "D" for 24-hour particle pollution and a "fail" for year-round particle pollution. That put us at the 10th worst spot in the country for year-round particle pollution and 14th worst for ozone pollution. Solar and wind energy provider Pear Energy, which currently operates in all 50 states, released yesterday its "Dirty Dozen" compilation, a list of the 12 utility providers emitting the greatest carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a type of greenhouse gas. CO2 emissions, of course, are the gunk released into our atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels like gas, coal or oil. Excess CO2 in our atmosphere is directly linked to global warming. Coming from a company that wants to sell you energy itself, it's good to approach the list with a little skepticism, but the methodology seems transparent; according to the website, all rankings were determined by total CO2 emissions in 2010 of power producers with retail operations that have carbon intensities above the national average emissions rate (stats were sourced from Environmental Protection Agency data). While Duke Energy was pinpointed as the nation's worst offender, several other Ohio energy providers also earned accolades, including American Electric Power (No. 2), NRG (No. 8) and First Energy (No. 11). First Energy is the utility provider that in 2012 partnered with Duke Energy locally to bring Cincinnati an electric aggregation program, allegedly useful for both lowering electricity rates and increasing use of renewable energy sources with group buying power. Last month, CityBeat covered allegations that First Energy was focused on weakening energy efficiency standards under Ohio's Clean Energy Law, supposedly to protect prices from shooting up for its customers.

Council combats human trafficking, Medicare reveals price data, Duke tops 'Dirty Dozen'
With a set of initiatives unanimously approved last week, City Council is looking to join the state in combating Cincinnati's human trafficking problem. The initiatives would evaluate local courts' practices in human trafficking and prostitution cases and study the need for more surveillance cameras and streetlights at West McMicken Avenue, a notorious prostitution hotspot. Councilwoman Yvette Simpson, who spearheaded the initiatives, says the West McMicken Avenue study will serve as a pilot program that could eventually branch out to other prostitution hotspots in Cincinnati, including Lower Price Hill and Camp Washington. Medicare data released yesterday revealed charges and payments can vary by thousands of dollars depending on the hospital, including in Cincinnati. Health care advocates and experts attribute the price disparity to the lack of transparency in the health care system, which allows hospitals to set prices without worrying about typical market checks. CityBeat previously covered the lack of health care price transparency in Ohio here. Duke Energy is the No. 1 utility company polluter in the nation, according to new rankings from Pear Energy. The rankings looked at carbon dioxide emissions, which directly contribute to global warming. Pear Energy is a solar and wind energy company that competes with utility companies like Duke Energy, but the methodology behind the rankings was fairly transparent and based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data. Commentary: "Republicans Continue Voter Suppression Tactics." City Council approved form-based code yesterday, which Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls has been working on for years. In a statement, Qualls' office called form-based code an "innovative alternative to conventional zoning" that will spur development. "Cincinnati now joins hundreds of cities that are using form-based code to build and reinforce walkable places that create value, preserve character and are the bedrock of Cincinnati neighborhoods' competitive advantage," Qualls said in the statement. State Sen. Peggy Lehner is looking to amend the Ohio budget bill to add a $100 million voucher program that would cover preschool for three- and four-year-olds. The details of the program are so far unclear, but Lehner said she might put most of the funding on the second year of the biennium budget to give the state time to prepare proper preschool programs. If the amendment proceeded, it would join recent efforts in Cincinnati to open up early education programs to low- and middle-income families. CityBeat covered the local efforts and many benefits of quality preschool here. Gov. John Kasich says he would back a ballot initiative for a mostly federally funded Medicaid expansion, which the Health Policy Institute of Ohio says would insure nearly half a million Ohioans and save the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in the next decade. CityBeat covered the Medicaid expansion in further detail here. Policy Matters Ohio released a lengthy report yesterday detailing how the state could move towards clean energy and electric cars and calling for more state incentives for clean energy. The report praises Cincinnati in particular for using municipal policies to build local clean energy and keep energy jobs in the city. The last tenant at Tower Place Mall is moving out. Scientists are working on a microchip that could be implanted into the brain to restore memories. They also found proof that seafloor bacteria ate radioactive supernova dust.

Court to Decide Dispute over Streetcar Utility Lines
Mallory announces construction to begin in April on track for 2015 completion
Another hurdle in the ongoing struggle to make the streetcar a reality was bypassed today, when Mayor Mark Mallory and City Manager Milton Dohoney, Jr. announced that after months entangled in a gridlock, Duke Energy and the city of Cincinnati have finally reached an agreement over who will pay for the relocation of utility lines. Somewhat of an agreement, anyway. Mallory said that the city and Duke will go before a judge in Common Pleas court, who will make the final decision as to who should pay for the utility relocation. According to the agreement, Duke Energy will begin moving its utilities in the next few weeks, and the court decision will determine cost responsibility later. The city and Duke are expected to file in Common Pleas court within the next few weeks, although the court decision could take years to finalize.The city broke ground on the streetcar nearly a year ago, but the skirmish between Duke and the city delayed further development — Duke refused to begin any kind of construction before financial responsibility was determined. The reconciliation contains two separate agreements, one of which outlines how Duke will safely operate its utilities once the streetcar is in place. The other demarcates how Duke and the city will resolve the issue of financial responsibility; they've both agreed to abide by the court ruling after any appeals are exhausted. "The utilities' agreements are in place, the cars are being ordered and the construction bids are coming in," announced Dohoney. Roxanne Qualls, city council member and Democratic mayoral candidate, has long been a supporter of the streetcar project, which she values as an indispensable economic investment for the city of Cincinnati. Yesterday, Qualls announced her request for the city to ramp up the streetcar construction timeline in order to have the project completed in time for the All-Star Games, which will take place in Cincinnati July 2015. Her announcement came just weeks after the city revised its timetable to delay project completion until April 2016. In a letter from Qualls to Mallory and Dohoney, she explains: "This may present a challenge, but it is one I am sure the administration is capable of meeting. The streetcar will serve a critical role in efficiently and effectively moving visitors to and from Great American Ballpark and allowing them to conveniently visit other venues such as Fountain Square, Horseshoe Casino, Over-the-Rhine, Washington Park, etc." At the meeting, Mallory announced that the city would shoot for construction to be completed prior to the games, but there were no guarantees. The streetcar builder will ultimately set the timeline for the project, according to Jason Barron, Mallory's director of public affairs. CityBeat recently covered the streetcar project's delays and how the 2013 mayoral race could affect its progress here.

Council Approves Measures Shifting $29 Million for Streetcar
Measures front Duke $15 million, add utility responsibility to move lines to city code
Cincinnati City Council on Wednesday approved a set of measures to alter funding of the $110 million streetcar project in order avoid further delaying its 2015 opening. The three measures set up $15 million to front to Duke Energy to move utility lines out of the proposed path; changes the source of funding to repay some $25 million in bonds used to pay for the streetcar; sells $14 million in bonds for streetcar improvements; and changes the municipal code to clarify that it is the responsibility of a utility to relocate its structures. The $15 million comes from the $37 million sale of city-owned land near the former Blue Ash Airport. Council voted 6-3 to approve the front money, improvement bonds and bond repayment, a vote that largely mirrored a Monday Budget and Finance Committee vote. Councilman Chris Smitherman was the sole "no" vote on the ordinance to change the municipal code. Councilmembers Cecil Thomas, Wendell Young, Roxanne Qualls, Laure Quinlivan, Chris Seelbach and Yvette Simpson voted to pass funding, while Councilmembers Smitherman, P.G. Sittenfeld and Charles Winburn voted against. "My concern with all of these votes … in particular the Blue Ash Airport dollars, these were promises that you made to the neighborhoods and I don't have the confidence that the legal battle against Duke Energy is going to yield a 100 percent win for the city of Cincinnati, so there's no assurance that these dollars are going to come back," said Councilman Chris Smitherman, one of the most vocal opponents of the streetcar. "I want to be clear that it's something that I don't support." The $15 million would be fronted to Duke to move its lines while the city and utility work out who is responsible for funding the move. Duke estimates the full cost at $18 million and argues that the lines would not have to be moved if the streetcar wasn't being built. The city maintains that it has always been the responsibility of utilities to move or upgrade their structures — which the third measure clarified in the municipal code. If the city loses a legal battle against Duke, it will not recoup the $15 million. The second proposal switches the source of funding for streetcar bonds from money coming into city coffers from southern downtown and the riverfront area to a 1995 fund set up to collect service payments from the Westin/Star, Hyatt and Saks. The measure wouldn't use any additional new money for the streetcar. That downtown area wasn't bringing in as much cash as expected but the city hopes to repay the other fund once the downtown district — which includes the Banks and the casino — rebounds.

Streetcar Delayed until 2015

Streetcar Delayed until 2015
City says a number of issues contributed to more than yearlong postponement
The $110 million streetcar project's opening is being delayed by more than a full year — from spring 2014 to summer 2015. Meg Olberding, city spokesperson, attributes the delay to "a number of scheduling issues." "There's so many moving pieces," she says. "There are issues with utility and we have to order the cars. We have to get a contractor on-board for the work. So we still have a couple of things that are taking longer than we thought."The delay, which was announced Sept. 10, is the latest in a history of plan and schedule changes for the Cincinnati streetcar, which saw $52 million pulled by Gov. John Kasich last year and forced the city to abandon its Uptown connector lines. Kasich, who has been against other rail projects in the state, claimed the move was necessary to balance the 2012-2013 budget.Today, a feud between the city and Duke Energy is causing more trouble. The city and utility company disagree over who should pay for moving utility lines to accommodate the streetcar. On Aug. 29, the city said it was considering a lawsuit to resolve the issue. Olberding says the conflict played a role in the delay."We need to resolve that quickly because, obviously, the longer we can't get utility work done, it'll cause delays and cost overruns," she says. "So we want to get that done as soon as possible." Before the current spat, the city and Duke could not agree on whether manhole covers and utility lines should be eight feet from streetcar tracks or three to four feet. The city claimed the smaller number was fine, but Duke disagreed, citing fears for its workers. In a previous look at the issue, CityBeat found the city's standard was supported by experiences in other cities ("The Great Eight Debate," issue of March 6). The city eventually won out, and manholes will only be required to be three to four feet from streetcar tracks.The streetcar has faced consistent opposition from other Republicans besides Kasich. U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot of Cincinnati successfully amended the 2013 transportation bill to ban federal funding from going to the streetcar and other light rail projects. Councilman Charlie Winburn, the lone Republican on Cincinnati City Council, said the city should stop its threat of lawsuit against Duke Energy.

Duke Energy told city officials to OK an operating deal for the streetcar before trying to talk costs. The fighting words are in the middle of an ongoing feud between city officials and Duke Energy about who will move utility lines and pipes to accommodate the streetcar. The operating details will help Duke know what "unbreakable rules" about maintenance and emergency repairs exist and where the streetcar will go, according to the company's spokesperson. CityBeat previously covered the streetcar issue and all the pettiness from Duke here. A suspended frat is suing Miami University. The frat was suspended after a fireworks battle led to the discovery of illegal substances in the frat. The frat claims the university improperly suspended it, damaged its business and property, and made libelous allegations out of "malice, hatred and ill will."

Speaker corp considered highly of by average consumers who have never compared bose to anything other than their $50 radio.
Speaker corp whose flagshit $3500 Lifestyle50 is outperformed by a $700 Onkyo model. What gullible people buy when they have too much money to spend and not enough time to research. A name who ignites flames in the hearts of audio enthusiast A speaker corp who uses shoddy materials, overprices the product, and places displays and demos next to $200 models in order to sound decent by comparison A speaker corp who uses 5" subwoofers in a $3500 home theater system (note: 5" does not a subwoofer make) A gullible consumer magnet Bose uses the same speakers for the $3500 and the $1500 model.
1. | Bose | ||
Highly overrated company that manufactures inferrior audio components that fail to compete with equipment in a pricerange that undercuts many Bose products tenfold.
Paper cones, 'secret' frequency response, and wide gaps in the crossover dynamics make for muddy and empty sound with high distortion in the upper ranges coupled with limited bass response from the 'bass module,' which is little more than 3 small drivers arranged in a sequence. No highs, no lows, must be Bose!
2. | bose | ||
Other Stereo Equipment or else you'll have a Bad Or Sad Experience Specifically, expensive car stereos' BOSE systems are wired so stupid that you have to gut the ENTIRE system just to upgrade it. Their speakers are in weird non-standard sizes and 1- or 2-ohm impedance (the norm is 4-ohm) and each has its own amplifier. They have all sorts of amplifiers and wires throughout the car it's a Bermuda Triangle. The head-unit is also specially matched to these shit speakers! Try and install an aftermarket head-unit and it will blow up because it thinks the speakers are shorted (lower impedance noted above). Try and replace the speakers and it will not sound as loud because of that same problem. Most people just roll their eyes and say, "Bose?? rip that shit out and start over, new speakers, new stereo, rewire!!!!!!!!!" Some housewives think BOSE is the best, but really it's not. But you know what, even their stereos are like filet-mignon prices for a Big Mac, they deserve their money since their marketing is top-notch. Too bad their sound quality isn't as good as their prices would suggest, or as good as their marketing dept!! Their sound quality is so bad their official slogan is
no highs, no lows, must be BOSE And yes, there is a real person named Amit Bose (I think that's it) |

"My headphones fell apart" "My subwoofer is talking" "My computer speakers sound like dollar store headphones in a paper towel roll" "How much did you pay for this?! It sounds so much better than my Bose system!" "$200." "..." |
7. | Bose | ||
An acronym for a company which uses unreliable and substandard materials to create a stereo which disintegrates after short sustained use (about 3.2 seconds) at about 50 dB, then packages it in a pretty casing and surrounds it with marketing which is comparable to the Nixon '68 campaign in which he claimed he had "secret" solutions to our problems, so also does this company claim to have "secret" technology through planetary domination. Stands for "Buy Our Shitty Equipment," or "Buy Other Sound Equipment"

Teenager charged with homicide by OWI in Sheboygan Brat Days hit-and-run
SHEBOYGAN - A teenager has been charged Tuesday with homicide by drunk driving and other charges involving a hit-and-run crash that killed one of three pedestrians near Sheboygan Brat Days.
WTMJ partner station WHBL Radio in Sheboygan says that Kayla Bower, 19, could face up to 78 years in prison if she is convicted on all charges.
According to the criminal complaint which WHBL cites, Bower had gone drinking at Brat Days, got behind the wheel, made a U-turn and then crashed into the three pedestrians.
Police say 60-year-old Barbara Janke was killed when she, her daughter and another woman were struck while crossing the street in the crosswalk.
Bower apparently told police she didn't see them, and when she discovered a crash happened, she became frightened and drove away before abandoning her car.
Janke was taken by helicopter to a Green Bay hospital where she died about 10 p.m. Monday. The other two women were treated for injuries at a local hospital.

An intelligent playmaker, Rodriguez passes selflessly but is also smart enough to take his own shots. He represented Columbia at the international level as a U17 and U20 player before making his first senior appearance in 2011. When he is not representing his country, Rodriguez plays for Porto in Portugal.

Raising Baby Green
Alan Greene, M.D., is a beloved practicing pediatrician, leading authority, and spokesperson for the green baby movement. Named "the Children's Health Hero of the Internet" by Intel, Dr. Greene teaches at Stanford University School of Medicine.
As Past President of The Organic Center, founding partner of the Collaborative on Health and the Environment and an Advisory Board member of Healthy Child Healthy World, Dr. Greene has an impressively green resume – and a wonderfully down-to-earth perspective. That could be because he has four children himself.
"In my job as a pediatrician at Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University School of Medicine over the last ten years, I've seen how clinical experience, science, research, and technology have increased the choices that doctors and parents can make," says Dr. Greene. "But there's also an important new set of choices parents can make that can have a beneficial impact on the environment."

Announcing Speakers for CTIA-FCBA State and Federal Policy Panels at CTIA 2013
We just released our CTIA-FCBA State and Federal Policy Panels at CTIA 2013 and have a fantastic lineup of speakers and moderators. Our group will have a diverse background – from federal and state policymakers to reporters to our members, there's a depth and variety of experiences that will mean great discussions.
Our program will kick off on Tuesday May 21st with a panel of leading policymakers from state government, including public utility commissioners and elected representatives, and will continue with a panel focused entirely on emerging public safety issues in the new mobile world.
On Wednesday, we will do a deep dive on spectrum issues, keynoted by speeches from the Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel and Commissioner Ajit Pai. Both of our Wednesday panels will focus on the challenges and importance of bringing more spectrum to market to meet consumer demand and serve as a platform for innovation. One panel will focus entirely on broadcast TV incentive auctions, and the other panel will tackle other key spectrum topics, like the effort to make more efficient use of federal government spectrum, the need for both licensed and unlicensed spectrum and the role of new technologies in meeting mobile broadband demand.
We are looking forward to a great discussion and to seeing you at the CTIA 2013 policy panels!

Spectrum Incentive Auctions: Step Right Up!: Wednesday, May 22, 2013; 3:15-4:45 pm
The U.S. has long led the world in both wireless services and spectrum policy. That trend will continue in 2013 with the introduction of an all-new tool: voluntary incentive auctions. In 2012, Congress authorized the FCC to design and hold incentive auctions to free up valuable broadcast television spectrum for mobile broadband use. The effort will create new challenges for policymakers and new opportunities for mobile players. This panel will discuss the broadcast television incentive auction, its implementation, and its implications for U.S. wireless leadership.

The Smartest Buoy in the Bay
For more than 300 years catching fish, oysters and the famous Chesapeake Blue Crab has been a major economic driver for many Maryland residents. By using wireless interpretive buoys, vital data and information, such as speed and direction of the currents, are being transmitted to the watermen and charter captains improving their chances of a better "haul."
Quick Facts on the U.S. Wireless Industry
A couple of weeks ago, we released our semi-annual survey. With the year-end 2012 numbers, the industry continues to grow and invest despite the current economy. The fact that our members spent the highest ever in capital expenditures in 2012 shows that they are focused on providing their customers – you and me – the fastest and best networks in the world.
I know that some people like to gripe about the U.S. wireless industry, but the facts remain that we are the world's leader. Carriers spent $94 per subscriber in the U.S., compared to $16 per subscriber for the rest of the world, even though we have only five percent of the world's wireless users! We have more 4G subscribers than any other country, despite having fewer people. We talk and text more than other countries, yet we pay less. We have 96% of users with a data plan.
After working in this industry for more than 20 years, I recognize that I may be perceived as a bit biased. So that's why I pulled together this one page independent assessment about the U.S. wireless industry.
Whether it's innovation, value, competition, economic impact or mobile access and satisfaction, the U.S. wireless industry is working.
As Stanford Professor Bill Barnett explained in a blog post, "As a firm competes, it becomes more capable, and so performs better. Even though its rivals also perform better, the net effect turns out to be beneficial in time. Highly competitive markets, over time, feature some of the world's greatest competitors…Competition is good for you."

This motorized fast-change filter wheel has been designed for applications that require sequential observations with different filters inserted in the optical path, such as multi-wavelength fluorescence imaging. The mechanical interfacing of the wheel accepts SM1 (1.035"-40) lens tubes and 30 mm cage systems for both input and output ports of the filter wheel housing. The housing contains an 8-32 tapped hole to allow post mounting of the wheel. Up to six Ø1.0" filters mounted in the standard housing (e.g., Thorlabs' FEL series) can be fitted onto the wheel. Access for the fitting of filters can be gained through a removable cover without needing to unmount the filter wheel from the optomechanical setup within which it sits.
The FW103H incorporates the FW103 filter wheel with our BSC101, Single-Channel apttm Controller for applications requiring high-speed switching (55 ms) between adjacent filters. The BSC101 comes with a power supply for 110 to 240 V, and with a US, UK, or European power cord determined by your ordering location.
The filter wheel uses a Hall effect sensor to determine the filter wheel's position, which is ideal for light-sensitive applications.
