text: I am trying to set up products that can be purchased as either a single item or a box of 10, no inbetweens. I set up my minimum as 1, with units of 10, no maximum. I get a quantity error when trying to purchase 1 (I assume due to the units being 10). I am wondering if it is possible to set up my product(s) in this way and if so how without having to create two separate product entries for one product, but instead allow the customer to be able to choose the quantity from one product entry, while maintaining quantity restrictions I described above. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My Thanksgiving mantra: Don't mess with Mom. She has been cooking turkeys for nearly three decades longer than I have, so I simply follow her directions for seasoning and roasting the turkey. When I make her hearty sausage and apple bread stuffing, the praise flows.
Nowadays, the holidays rotate homes in our family, but the turkey and stuffing rarely vary. As for the rest of the meal, the host will add personal favorites and eliminate others. At Mom's, we count on a platter of simple blanched asparagus (for the diet-conscious, she says), sugary-sweet sweet potatoes (Dad's favorite) and cinnamon apples (for the grandchildren). You'll never find Brussels sprouts at Pat's house, beets at Roberta's or acorn squash at mine.
My household loves to shake things up. Sometimes we'll add curry to the sweet potatoes, porcini mushrooms to the green bean casserole and fresh herbs to the mashed potatoes. Most years we only mess around with one or two of the side dishes. We've learned that too many deviations rock the holiday boat.
No matter what we're cooking, we always use the freshest ingredients possible. That means fresh green beans in the casserole, real potatoes in the mash and fresh garlic and herbs throughout. We use the holiday season as a reminder to ditch the year-old dried herbs and spices.
This year we're looking for more ways to boost flavor. Lately we've been adding whole spices and chunks of garlic to the rice cooker for flavorful rice without calories. So we're taking the same approach with the holiday potatoes by adding garlic and herbs to the cooking water. The results are amazing.
Same goes for the homemade mushroom sauce for the green bean casserole. Adding sweet onion and dried mushrooms to the milk and letting it steep yields a deep, rich flavor that clings to the beans.
All these touches add depth and flavor to dishes worthy to stand by the best turkey: Mom's.
Side dish boosts
Use the freshest ingredients you can find: The results are worth it. Look for time-saving fresh ingredients such as bags of trimmed fresh green beans, diced root vegetables and squash.
Use unsalted butter. It tastes sweeter and fresher and allows the cook to adjust salt to taste.
Splurge on fresh herbs. Fresh sage in the stuffing and chives in the mashed potatoes prove worth the expense and effort.
A mixture of russet and golden potatoes yields light, fluffy mashed potatoes that have a rich color and flavor.
To keep mashed potatoes warm, put a piece of plastic wrap directly over the surface of the potatoes. Cover the pot and wrap it in a heavy towel. Potatoes will stay warm for about 30 minutes.
Plan on half a double-baked potato per person. Bake an extra potato just in case one of the shells splits while scooping them.
Green beans (as well as broccoli, carrots and cauliflower) can be blanched (cooked in boiling water) up to two days in advance; rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. When cool, shake them dry and store in a container in the refrigerator. Then season or sauce as recipe directs shortly before serving.
Skip the canned soup on the veggies. It only takes a few minutes to make a flavorful sauce, and it can be made two days in advance. Thin with a little milk if necessary.
Sage and garlic mashed potatoes
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Servings: 8 to 10
Note: You can peel the potatoes if you wish; I enjoy the look and flavor of the skins.
6 or 8 sprigs fresh sage
1 or 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 ½ pounds (about 6 medium) Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 ½ pounds (about 3 medium) russet baking potatoes, scrubbed, cut into 2-inch chunks
4 to 6 large cloves garlic, peeled, roughly chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup each: skim milk, half-and-half
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Freshly ground pepper
1. Separate sage and rosemary leaves from stems. Slice leaves finely; set aside. Tie stems together with kitchen string.
2. Put potatoes, garlic and herb stems into a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Heat to a boil; simmer gently with lid slightly askew. Cook, checking potatoes occasionally with a knife, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well. Discard herb stems.
3. Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Make a well in the center; pour in the milk and half-and-half. Set the heat to medium. When the milk starts to boil, reduce the heat to low; start mashing vigorously using a potato masher. Add about three-fourths of the soft butter; continue mashing until the mixture is fairly smooth. Season to taste, usually about 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Remove from heat.
4. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in small, nonstick skillet. Add herb leaves; saute until crisped, about 1 minute. Pile hot potatoes into a heated serving dish. Spoon sage butter over potatoes.

Double-baked sweets with curried marshmallows
Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 1 1/4 hours
Servings: 12
6 or 7 medium-size sweet potatoes, about 3 pounds total
18 regular size marshmallows (about 6 ounces), quartered
1/2 teaspoon mild curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 to 2 tablespoons mild red Thai or Indian curry paste to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons chopped chives
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put potatoes on a large baking sheet. Bake until a fork pierces them easily, about 1 hour. Let cool until you can handle them.
2. Meanwhile, mix the marshmallow pieces with the curry powder in a small bowl until pieces are nicely coated. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt; mix again. Mix coconut milk and curry paste in another bowl with an immersion blender, hand mixer or potato masher until smooth.
3. Slice warm potatoes lengthwise in half. Scoop out the soft flesh with a small spoon (I like a serrated grapefruit spoon here), leaving a 1/4-inch thick potato shell; place in the coconut milk mixture. Beat or mash the potato flesh into the coconut milk until very smooth and light. Season to taste, usually about ¾ teaspoon salt. Stir in the chives.
4. Arrange the potato shells on the baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dollop the mashed potatoes with a spoon back into the shells, filling them evenly. Spray or brush the tops lightly with a little olive oil. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to several hours in advance; refrigerate covered.)
5. Arrange marshmallow pieces over the potatoes. Bake until centers are heated through and marshmallows are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Green bean casserole
Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
Note:Look for canned fried onions, or sub with crumbled veggie stick snacks.
2 pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed
1 ½ cups whole milk
1/2 large sweet onion, peeled, halved
1/4 ounce dried mushrooms, such as porcini
2 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
1 ½ tablespoons each: butter, flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup fried onion pieces
1. Heat a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans; boil, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water. Refrigerate covered up to a couple of days.
2. Put milk, sweet onion, dried mushrooms, cloves and bay leaves in a small saucepan. Heat to a simmer. Remove from heat; steep, about 20 minutes. Strain to capture the milk. Discard the cloves, bay leaves. Finely chop onion and mushrooms.
3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Slowly whisk in the strained milk. Cook and stir until smooth and thick. Add chopped onion and mushrooms; season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate covered for up to a couple of days; thin with a little milk when reheating, if needed.
4. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Toss green beans with sauce. Arrange in a buttered 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Bake until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with fried onions; bake 5 minutes.

Water is the source of life — but when it's not properly managed, can breed disease, create conflict and destroy communities. Mercy Corps works to provide access to clean water around the world, whether it's bringing relief during droughts or rebuilding wells in remote villages. We also help people learn proper sanitation, improve distribution and irrigation, and strengthen communities against flooding.

Some say Yemen is on the edge of abyss. But there is a tremendous opportunity in Yemen — especially if we can harness the potential of the youth.
Jordan, Syria: Zaatari refugee camp rapidly expands August 31, 2012
Less than six miles from the Syrian border, the Zaatari camp opened just a month ago and is already home to more than 20,000 refugees. The most pressing need in the camp is water.

Yemen: A witness to distress in beautiful land July 19, 2012
Since Mercy Corps began working in Yemen in October 2010, we have kept our main office in the capital city of Sana'a. I see more and more women and young girls begging for food on the streets. Last month, nearly 100 soldiers were killed here by a suicide bomb.
Yemen: Relief and development in the slums of the forgotten July 19, 2012

CHITTENANGO -- Area churches are coming together to help those in need get ready for school.
The Chittenango Area Association of Churches is holding a giveaway at the Presbyterian Church that runs Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (10am to 4pm) and Saturday (10am to 2pm).
Hundreds of families are stocking up on clothes and school supplies including.
Caroline Brazeau has four kids and picked up four back packs filled with supplies like notebooks and pencils.
"It's really important," says Brazeau. "It's more food money. We're not going on vacations with the extra money. It's more or less, we're trying to get by day to day."
This giveaway gets bigger every year and the donations come from churchgoers and businesses.
There are clothes for kids and the whole family.
Organizers expect they'll hand out more backpacks this year.
Pastor Michaela St. Marie of the Chittenango United Methodist Church, says people are feeling more comfortable coming forward to ask for help these days.
"The need is here just like anywhere in the country," says Pastor St. Marie. "A lot of these people think Chittenango's a small town, we don't really have need here, but there is quite a large need."
Pastor St. Marie says anyone in the Chittenango School District who hasn't signed up for a backpack can go to the church and get registered and the backpack will be ready on Saturday.

NGE >> Media >> Broadcasting >> Radio >> Radio Broadcasting |
Radio Broadcasting Commercial radio broadcasting in Georgia began on March 15, 1922, when a hastily assembled transmission system began scheduled broadcasting under the call letters WSB. This was the first true station in the state and the forerunner of more than 450 stations to come. Origins Since about 1900 "electric radio signals"
Rival Atlanta newspapers
Following WSB onto the airwaves in 1922 were five other stations, four of which served the Atlanta area. They were WAAS in Decatur, WGM in Atlanta (later WGST at the Georgia Institute of Technology), WDAJ in College Park,
Call Letters Call letters may or may not have meaning. Listeners more easily remember a call when it is accompanied by a slogan. Pioneers Lambdin Kay and Ernie Rogers of WSB suggested that their station's call letters stood for "Welcome South, Brother." WTOC aided tourism in Savannah with "Welcome to
Through the years, other stations have incorporated their call letters with the home city's name, such as WAGA and WATL in Atlanta, WGGA in Gainesville, WALB in Albany, and WROM and WRGA in Rome. Three Athens stations, WGAU, WUGA, and WUOG, mark the presence of the state university in that city. New Services, More Radios, More Listeners The growth of stations spurred the manufacturing of AM (amplitude modulation) radio sets. As more listeners tuned in, many stations prospered. By the mid-1930s some automobiles featured radios, and visionaries were looking ahead to adding television, FM (frequency modulation), or perhaps the facsimile printing of "news" on rolls of treated paper. It would be 1948 before TV arrived, however, and the 1970s before FM realized its potential; when facsimile printing was finally developed, it was not based on broadcast technology. While FM first appeared in the 1930s, in actual practice most radio tuners tended to drift off the station. However,
WSB applied for Georgia's first television license in 1931, but TV receivers were extremely crude and virtually nonexistent. (They featured a spinning wheel with tiny holes through which projected light shone to a surface, creating a picture.) It was 1948 before the first TV station in Georgia actually went on the air. In 1933 the University of Georgia (UGA) developed statewide Georgia Bulldog football coverage on pioneering Georgia stations. Georgia Tech followed with its own network. The names of legendary sports commentators Marcus Bartlett, "Red" Cross, Al Ciraldo, and Larry Munson are remembered by thousands of radio listeners. World War II and the Postwar Era World War II (1941-45) slowed the overall growth of broadcasting. War news led to the development of new listening patterns, as radio reported instantly from around the world. After the war,
In 1947 the tiny transistor made its appearance, decreasing both the size and the power consumption of radios and thereby changing the history of broadcasting. Millions of sets were produced, and radio moved from the "living room" into virtually every room in the house. Automobile listening increased as well. New stations were added, and these properties took on dollar values far beyond any earlier dreams. In 1948 the FCC authorized WABE-FM, which was owned by the Atlanta Board of Education, to begin broadcasting. This was Georgia's first station devoted purely to educational programming. School systems began to formulate broadcasting as an extension of their services, and a public broadcasting net began to form in the state. A network of public radio stations, many of which are affiliated with colleges and universities, now offers National Public Radio programming as well as classical music and local features. Georgia Association of Broadcasters Georgia broadcasters were early to develop their own broadcasting association and, thanks to strong support, the Georgia Association of Broadcasters (GAB) was founded in 1934 and became the nation's largest, and one of the most active, state associations. GAB has enjoyed a long history of association with the Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications at UGA and has developed unique working relationships with numerous other colleges and universities around the state. The Georgia Broadcasting Hall of Fame, housed at UGA, recognizes those who have made substantial contributions to Georgia broadcasting. Likewise, the nation's most prestigious broadcasting awards, the Peabodys, are administered by the Grady College of Journalism. Meeting the Challenge of Newer Technologies During the early 1950s, with television encroaching on audiences, budget, and talent, a Georgia radio broadcaster developed a nationwide campaign to resurrect the medium. Elmo Ellis used the platform
By 2003 the FCC had licensed 448 Georgia stations. Trends in ownership are changing because of a more liberal FCC policy, with some companies owning dozens of stations within the state. Just after 2000, satellite radio networks appeared, and new technology allowed satellite signals to reach moving cars. Some observers have questioned whether traditional radio can survive in this technological environment, but radio is now enjoying its greatest prosperity. Radio broadcasting in Georgia has emulated the tremendous pattern of growth within the state. With about 8.5 million potential listeners, and thousands more in neighboring states, Georgia stations offer programming as diverse as the population itself. Michael H. McDougald, Rome Published 1/28/2005 |

Results Summary
Fixtures Summary
Feb 25 - LNE3 Sudbury (A)
L 46 - 8 Report Attached
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Forced into last minute changes in personnel and positions as a result of injuries failing to heal, Wymondham slipped further towards the foot of the table when they came up against a Sudbury team which bore little resemblance to that which they had beaten at home in October.
Wymondham opened the half playing against a strong and awkward blustery wind.
The tone was set just five minutes into the game when the strong running Sudbury backs cut through the improvised Wymondham midfield and scored under the posts.
The early score gave Sudbury the confidence to run at Wymondham and after 13 minutes from a lineout on their left wing, they spun the ball across the field and finished with a try wide on the right.
At 12-0 down and only 18 minutes played, Wymondham suffered another blow when hard-tackling back row, Sam Hodgson, was forced from the field with what appeared to be a serious leg injury.
The Red and Blacks began to show the patterns that they have practised all season and put together a number of excellent phases of play, moving the ball quickly between forwards and backs and releasing the ball quickly from the breakdowns. Having progressed to the Sudbury 22, however, a knock-on gave the Sudbury scrum-half possession and, with all the Wymondham players in attack, he scampered the length of the field to score under the posts.
Not only had Wymondham conceded another 7 points, but young hooker Tom Masters was left in a heap with a twisted knee and was unable to continue.
There was some consolation for Wymondham when Sims kicked a penalty given for a Sudbury offside but the respite was short-lived as Sudbury bagged possession from the restart and waltzed through midfield for another try under the posts to make the score 24-3 at the break.
The second half proved no better for Wymondham as, straight from the re-start, Sudbury moved the ball quickly to their wing where Brugger made a solid tackle but Sudbury had men in support and crashed over the line.
Wymondham were having more of the play in the second half although the wind, which was now in their favour, had dropped considerably. However, Sudbury broke yet again and, with quick hands and strong running, passed the ball wide and scored again wide on the right to make the score 36-3.
Wymondham came back strongly and Duckham was just held up over the Wymondham line but, with continued pressure, Wymondham won a line out on the right and rolled a maul over the line for Josh Wright to score.
The Red and Blacks were now carrying 'walking wounded' but had used all their replacements to replace players injured earlier in the game. Sudbury took full advantage and ran in two more tries to finish the game with the score at 46-8.
This was, to say the least, an unfortunate game for Wymondham but there were some battling and courageous performances on display, in particular Tom Wilson, Josh Wright and David Blake worked extremely hard throughout the game making hard yards and big tackles for their team.
Wymondham must now hope that they can restore their injured players, put this game behind them and travel to Upminster next week determined to return with some league points.
After losing out to high fliers Harlow by a single point on a quagmire last weekend, Wymondham make a trip across the border to Suffolk this Saturday to play their re-arranged fixture against Sudbury.
Sudbury have an identical playing record to Wymondham with the Red and Blacks sitting one place above the Suffolk team by virtue of having acquired one more bonus point. In the reverse fixture in October, Wymondham prevailed by the slender margin of four points and both sides will be seeking a win to lift them clear of the relegation zone.
Sokia is still a major doubt with a troublesome knee injury while young scrum-half, Harry Anderson-Brown, who has impressed recently, looks to recover from an ankle injury sustained while playing for Wymondham Colts. Jonny Payne will stand by and will certainly not let down the side if called upon. Simo has also been under treatment and Colt, Long, who has impressed in training, may come into the squad for the first time.
Happily, the coaches have fewer problems in the pack and may be able to name a practically unchanged squad.
President, Chris Williams, was impressed with the effort and commitment shown against Harlow and is looking for his team to bag some points over the next couple of weeks to avoid a nervous finale to the season.
Wymondham (From): D Canning, T Masters, N Brown, J Wright, A Duckham, D Blake, S Hodgson, H Anderson-Brown, J Payne, T Wilson, R Dodd, P Sokia (Capt.), A Brugger, Simo, A Turner, J Riches, K Long, J Loveridge.

Born a showbiz family in California, Blake Lively who quickly followed the footsteps of her parents. She was raised as a Southern Baptist. The youngest of five siblings, she has a brother, two half sisters and a half brother. Both of her parents and all of her siblings are, or have been, in the entertainment industry. During Blake's childhood, her parents used to bring her in acting classes that they taught because they didn't want to leave her with a babysitter. Watching her parents in acting classes helped her learn the drills of acting and gain confidence as she got older. As a child, her mom would always bring her to Disneyland twice a week as an opportunity to bond together.
She attended thirteen different schools. When she was three years old, her mother enrolled her in the first grade because her older brother was supposed to start school but he didn't want to go alone. Not long, her mother took her out of school. Then she attended Burbank High School in Burbank. While attending in Burbank she joined choir and was a cheerleader. By 15, her brother took him on a tour to Europe for two months. While on the trip, her brother used most of the time trying to talk to Blake into having an acting career.
Blake Lively was not at all interested in acting but during summer between her junior and senior years, her brother, made his agent send her out on a few auditions over a period of few months. Her first role was "Trixie, The Tooth Fairy" in the 1998 movie Sandman which directed by her dad.
Her big break came along after few years later, though. Blake was up to finish high school when she got the co-starring role "Bridget" in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. She also got her fame in different aspects of show business. By 2007, she was cast in the young- adult drama series Gossip Girl. One of the most acclaimed roles to date is her supporting role as playing the younger version of the title character in "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" in 2009. She is also one of the actresses who starred in the movie "The Town" last 2010.
For her personal life, she dated actor Kelly Blatz for 3 years from 2004-2007; the two had been friends since childhood. In late 2007, rumors spread that she was dating her Gossip Girl co- star and former childhood classmate Penn Badgley. They had great time together and very open with their relationship. They ended their relationship in mid September- 2010.
Aside from all the careers she had achieve Blake enjoys cooking and consider it to be her hobby. She then owns one pet a copper colored Maltipoo dog.
During 2008 US presidential election Blake expressed her support for Barrack Obama over John McCain. She and Penn Badgley appeared in pro-Obama commercial, as part of MoveOn.org's Youth Vote program.

Battle of the birds: Chief Kanim volleyball defeats SMS
November 15, 2012 · 4:20 PM
The Chief Kanim Middle School eighth grade varsity volleyball team defeated Snoqualmie Middle School Eagles on Wednesday, Oct. 10. The Hawks are now 6-0.
"This was the best of the best," Chief Kanim coach Joyce Kjorsvik told the Record in an e-mail. "Amazing plays, great rallies, incredible hits."
Baylee Young was on fire in game one, serving five points and getting eight kills. Sophie Click had six points and four hits, and Kara Link had five hits and four points. Setters Kendal Schmidt and Cameron Kendall also played a big part in the success.
In game two, Young had some wicked hits and rocket serves, while Callen from SMS had two great blocks.
The Hawks lost game two, 21-17, making the third and final game a must. With milkshakes on the line, the Lady Hawks prevailed, winning the final game 21-13 and taking the title of who is the best in the Valley.
"The high school team will have amazing players next year," Kjorsvik predicted.

The New York Times Best Seller list
The New York Times Best Seller list is widely considered the preeminent list of best-selling books in the United States.[1][2] It is published weekly in The New York Times Book Review magazine, which is published in the Sunday edition of The New York Times and as a stand-alone publication. The best-seller list has been ongoing since April 9, 1942.[1]
Contents |
The list is composed by the editors of the "News Surveys" department, not by The New York Times Book Review department, where it's published.[3] It is based on weekly sales reports obtained from selected samples of independent and chain bookstores and wholesalers throughout the United States.[3] The sales figures are widely believed to represent books that have actually been sold at retail, rather than wholesale,[4] as the Times surveys booksellers in an attempt to better reflect what is purchased by individual buyers. Some books are flagged with a dagger indicating that a significant number of bulk orders had been received by retail bookstores.[5] The Times reported in 2013 that "we [generally do not] track the sales of classic literature," and thus for example new translations of Dante's Inferno would not be found on the best seller list.[6]
The exact methodology used in creating the list is classified as a trade secret.[7] Book Review staff editor Gregory Cowles explained the method "is a secret both to protect our product and to make sure people can't try to rig the system. Even in the Book Review itself, we don't know (the news surveys department's) precise methods."[3] In 1992, the survey encompassed over 3,000 bookstores as well as "representative wholesalers with more than 28,000 other retail outlets, including variety stores and supermarkets."[7]
The lists are divided among fiction and non-fiction, print and e-book, paperback and hardcover; each list contains fifteen to twenty titles. Expanded lists that show additional titles are available online through the Book Review website. The lists have been subdivided several times. "Advice, How-To, and Miscellaneous" debuted as a list of five on January 1, 1984. It was created because advice best-sellers were sometimes crowding the general non-fiction list.[8] Its inaugural number one bestseller, The Body Principal by Victoria Principal, had been number ten and number twelve on the non-fiction lists for the two preceding weeks.[9] In July 2000, the "Children's Best Sellers" was created after the Harry Potter series had stayed in the top spots on the fiction list for an extended period of time.[10] The children's list was printed monthly until Feb. 13th 2011 when it was changed to once an issue (weekly). In September 2007, the paperback fiction list was divided into "trade" and "mass-market" sections, in order to give more visibility to the trade paperbacks that were more often reviewed by the newspaper itself.[11] In November 2010, The New York Times announced it would be tracking e-book best-seller lists in fiction and nonfiction starting in early 2011.[12] "RoyaltyShare, a San Diego-based company that tracks data and aggregates sales information for publishers, will … provide [e-book] data".[12] The two new e-book lists were first published with the February 13, 2011 issue, the first tracks combined print and e-book sales, the second tracks e-book sales only (both lists are further sub-divided into Fiction and Non-fiction). In addition a third new list was published on the web only which tracks combined print sales (hardcover and paperback) in fiction and nonfiction. In December 16, 2012, the children's chapter books list was divided into two new lists: middle-grade (ages 8-12) and young adult (age 12-18), both which include sales across all platforms (hard, paper and e-book).
Effect on book sales[edit]
A Stanford Business School analysis[13] found that the majority of book buyers use the Times' list for buying ideas. The study concluded that lesser-known writers get the biggest benefit from being on the list, while perennial best-selling authors such as Danielle Steel or John Grisham see no benefit of additional sales.
The best-seller list may not be a reflection of overall book sales; a book that never makes the list can outsell books on the best-seller list.[14] This is because the best-seller list reflects sales in a given week, not total sales. Thus, one book may sell heavily in a given week, making the list, while another may sell at a slower pace, never making the list, but selling more copies over time.
In 1995, the authors of a book called The Discipline of Market Leaders colluded to manipulate their book onto the best seller charts. The authors allegedly purchased over 10,000 copies of their own book in small and strategically placed orders at bookstores whose sales are reported to Bookscan. Because of the benefits of making The New York Times Best Seller list (speaking engagements, more book deals, and consulting) the authors felt that buying their own work was an investment that would pay for itself. The book climbed to No. 4 on the list where it sat for 15 weeks, also peaking at No. 1 on the BusinessWeek best seller list. Since such lists hold the power of cumulative advantage, chart success often begets more chart success. Although such efforts are not illegal, they are considered unethical by publishers.[15]
In 1999, Amazon.com announced a 50 percent decrease in price for books on the Best Seller List to beat its competition, Barnes and Noble.[16] After a legal dispute between Amazon and The New York Times, Amazon was permitted to keep using the list on condition that it displayed it in alphabetical rather than numerical order.[17] Since 2010 (or earlier), this is no longer the case. Amazon now displays the best-seller list in order of best selling titles first.[18]

Don't feel bad. I've worked everyday this week (no day off) and last week I was out sick (kidney stones) for 3 days. NOw Ive got to get to work on the van again. So much work.....so little time.
I missed on the ports and the x-over on the amp. The port calcuator said the box is tuned to 20hz, so I need to cut the ports down 5" each to get it tuned at 44hz.What's the break-in for the sub and can it take two D5000.1s.Also my series/parallel wiring came to 1.4ohm before I put the sub in the box.
Hello,The breaking in period i would recommend for the DMX is around 6 to 8 hours, out of the box with low volume low frequency being played threw it. If you have a frequency CD that's perfect. You really don't want to hear anything just have that cone moving up and down. If you have 1-DMX15 I wouldn't put anymore than 1,200 watts RMS for any music play so 1-D5000.1 would be perfect. But for straight SPL competition 2-D5000.1 strapped together would give you 5000 Watts RMS at 2OHM which could be used for straight SPL 30 second burbs.
Hi guys will the D5000.1 be ok at 1/2 ohm? I know it loves 0.70 and never gets a little hot, but I want to check before I do it. I have two red tops and one is only one foot of wire from the battery.
As far as area goes.......I'd say 56.76in^2. I'd personally go with 76in^2 area with 16" depth. That should tune to around 40Hz witha peak of around 45Hz (depending on vehicle transfer function).
You get the new box built???

Not only does the color of these two dresses play a role in the inspiration of this interior, but the soft flowing fabrics mimic the silk drapery of this dining space. The runway deck imitates the white, lacquered modern dining table. If I would add anything to the interior, I would totally take abstractly painted backdrop of the runway and place it right above the fireplace.
Yellow and grey color combos are so big this season in both fashion and interiors. But the patterns in this little number grab the attention of the beholder similarly as the wonderful wallpaper in the interior image. Just as the designer of this outfit has kept the style of this dress simple, the interior space is minimal and refreshing with it's white, grey, black, and yellow scheme and clean lines of the furnishings and accessories.
Girls love pink! But, adding it to an interior is bold, edgy and unexpected. Her porcelain skin tone mimics the white wainscot of the interior, and notice the touch of blue in the voile of the underskirt how it relates to a blue and white vase that tones down the bold contrasting colors in the interior.
What's in your closet that could inspire an interior?

The Alternate Reality List
This is somthing I'd like to do for fun. We already know what has happened and how the world works, but what if in an alternate reality it was different? Come up with an insane thing about your alternate reality, for example if everything revolved around the Earth, or if Michale Jackson was still a famous black and not-at-all creepy performer? What if water made you blow up? What if saying the word fish was illegal? Whatever you want and make it as crazy as you can.

What I am about to describe to you is absolute truth, the world around you is not what it appears. We are merely trapped in an illusion that we refer to as reality, the actual universe that exists beyond the impenetrable veil that we call existence (or corn chips to those in the know) is actually far more terrifying and delightfully strange. It is a world where black is up, white is down, and Jay Leno is president of the United States, which ironically enough is nothing more than a pimple on the anus of a field mouse.
If Nero were dead today to see this, would he cast his magnificent gaze down upon this purple planet with pride, or would he merely shake his head erasing all from corn chips. This is a world where you must consume your own urine, as drinking water is easy to come by. Where you must lay in the green gaze of the sun, revealing your solar plexus to the light to begin the process of photosynthesis, since food is an evil tool of our government meant to control the masses. All food that is, except for cabbage. Steamed cabbage is the only form of nutritional supplement that you should consume so as not succumb to the evil wiles of a massive governmental body. You see cabbage contains a vital nutrient that only it possess. "homo talus", and without this nutrient the photosynthesis that your body partakes in would be completely ineffective. Each and everyone of us are simply an elaborate host for an alient ghost which controls each and every one of our movements. They are the source of all evil in the world, whispering eternally into our ear telling us to stray from the path of good, and commit vile acts like taking part in the practice of psychology. Each of us must take part in expensive examinations of a priest of gaia to help remove the evil alien spirit from our meat bags. Once the purification processs has been completed the spirit is compressed and sprayed on our crops and livestock as they are an extremely potent fertilizer. So tremble my children, while you might be shielded from this harsh corn chip by the evil wiles of CNN, you are really being controlled and used to produce energy for the multitude of maniacal children via your pain. You see these terrible minors actually feed off the pain that you suffer, leeching it into their pores in a disgusting feeding frenzy. There is at least 3 attached to you as we speak, each sucking and draining your life force, quickly expose your solar plexus and run!!!!!!!!

What if we lived in a world where reality television shows were the most popular things, pop music stars were more well known than great historical figures, more children watched MTV than read books, where materialism was the almighty ruler of society and the economy, where greed and consumption was the norm, and true happiness was never attainable?

There's a memo being circulated everywhere from TiPb's comments to some of the biggest sites on the blogsphere, that purports to contain leaked information on Rogers -- the GSM monopoly with de-facto exclusive iPhone 3G rights in Canada -- rate plans, including data rates, which have historically been a HUGE issue for Canadians.
More →
Windows users love them their XP. No matter how prettier, more secure, and better architected -- though admittedly heavier -- Vista may be, the PR problems round Microsoft way have made it seem like every user is desperate to keep XP running on everything from their server farm to UMPC.
And now thanks to the folks at Citrix -- who rumor has it know Windows at the they-contributed-towards-the-kernel level -- could the iPhone be next?
Well, technically no. They're not really getting XP to run on Apple's handset, but they are enabling the same kind of remote wizardry they've been doing on the Windows side for years.
Sure, those on the twisty-turny AT&T train have looked on at free iPhones in the UK and €1 iPhones in Germany with some lust in their wallets. We get that. But those of us in Canada gaze longingly at all of your clear plans and reasonable data rates with something akin to battered-consumer syndrome.
While confusion still looms over who is eligible and at what price for iPhone 3G upgrades, never mind how high the unsubsidized price will eventually soar, AT&T may have clarified what families have to look forward to:
Family Talk plans ARE available. Voice plans start at $39.99 a month (same as the regular one-line starting plan) and additional lines will be $9.99 a month. AT&T's expecting lots of Family Talk Plans this time around because of the $199 price point.
Makes sense. But howsabouta family data? $30 a pop still per phone?
Steve Jobs announced Apple would sell 10 million iPhones in 2008. Up until June, given waning sales, 3G expectations, and large-scale unavailability from Apple and carriers alike, it didn't look possible.
Here at TiPB we've covered the heck out of the Flash on the iPhone debacle. Will it, won't it, can it, should it, omgvidz!1 and privacy nightmares. But it just won't stop. Current case in point, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen was once again let near a live mic:
Woke up this morning and as per my usual modus operandi, checked mail on my iPhone and then went to read some feeds. That's when it happened, mobile.mac.com (the interceptive RSS reading feature on MobileSafari) came back with a server error.
Seems to be working for me again, but reports have since sprung up of others having trouble with web-bound services of .Mac (though email protocols seems fine).
So you might have heard that the iPhone 3G was going to retail for $199 from AT&T. I've already covered how it isn't technically $199 for current iPhone users. And you heard Rene tell you that $199 is less than the notorious price DROP of the iPhone. Well TiPb has been wondering how Apple settled on dropping the price so dramatically.
And we settled on a story, kind of—more like a collection of reasons. We've analyzed the outcome back and forth, from reverse and from the beginning. And we think we have come to a conclusion (or at the very least, a conspiracy theory). In a purely speculative story, I'll give you my opinion on how we reached $199.
Read on for Apple's Path to $199
Hot on the heels of O2 in the UK offering FREE iPhones, and T-Mobile in Germany offering ONE Euro-buck iPhones, AT&T waddles up to the plate to remind these upstart old-worlders how a carrier is supposed to behave:
The company is treating the iPhone 3G pretty much just like any other phone in that people who are ineligible for upgrades have to pay the full, unsubsidized price for the phone. [...] AT&T hasn't specified what the unsubsidized price is.
Based on European conversions, however, let's expect that to push $700+

The Ohio River forms the entire 451-mile southern boundary of Ohio. The river covers 91,300 surface acres of water along Ohio's border -- offering plenty of opportunity for recreation: pleasure boating, fishing, sailing, water-skiing.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began improving the Ohio River in 1824 by dredging sandbars and removing snags. The first lock and dam was completed in 1885 about five miles below Pittsburgh, and 12 more were built in 1910. Channelization of the river was completed in 1929 with 50 lock and dam structures in operation. This system was later replaced by a high rise system of 20 dams. Nine navigational projects (locks and dams) are in operation today along the Ohio river bordering Ohio.
When operating on the river, all State of Ohio watercraft laws are in effect; in addition, some lesser-known provisions also apply. Various state law enforcement agencies have jurisdiction, depending on where you are boating. Be sure you know the state laws for the area where you will be boating. Various security zones are located along the river (see "Security Zones" at right).
The Ohio River is considered to be "federal waters" and boaters need to comply with all U.S. Coast Guard requirements. When operating on the river all State of Ohio watercraft laws are in effect.
Following are some lesser known provisions that are applicable:
Ohio law states that any watercraft operating within 300 feet of a marina, gas dock or launching area must travel at no wake or "idle speed." Boat operators are responsible for any damage that their wake may cause. Stay in the main channel of the river when operating at greater than idle speed.
No wake or idle speed is also enforced during the period from sunset to sunrise according to local time within any water between the Dan Beard bridge and the Brent Spence bridge on the Ohio River for any vessel not documented by the U.S. Coast Guard as commercial.
Most of the creek and backwater areas leading to the Ohio River are also zoned as no wake. (Check with your local enforcement agency.)
Kentucky officials announced they have expanded that state's no-wake zone from 100 feet to 300 feet between the Brent Spence and Daniel Carter Beard bridges near downtown Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky, during daylight hours. The new regulation became effective June 19, 2002. Boaters, PWC operators and other powercraft must operate at idle speed within 300 feet of near-shore vessels, marinas, docks and harbor entrances. The new regulation is intended to enhance boating safety by reducing speeds in a highly congested area and to reduce wakes that effect small boats and shoreline structures.
When operating on waters where a current is present:
When operating the vicinity of a narrow channel:
Many hazards exist for river boaters who are unaware or careless. Locks and dams help manage water flow along the river and have special rules. Commercial traffic is heavy on the river and poses its own problems. And the river current is ever changing, varying with water levels.
Bottomlands of the Ohio River basin are subject to occasional damaging floods. A system of reservoirs and local protection projects throughout the basin is capable of reducing annual flood damage by more than 50 percent.
ODNR Division of Watercraft encourages all boaters using the Ohio River to install a VHF radio in their watercraft. The VHF radio may provide a vital link to obtaining help in the event of an "on-the-water" emergency.
Be aware that certain VHF channels are reserved for exclusive use purposes:
In the event of an emergency, distress calls are made on channel 16, the national distress frequency, using the following procedure:
For normal radio operation: Select Channel 9 (a recognized hailing channel), state the name of the vessel you are attempting to contact, then your vessel's name and call numbers once; when the other craft responds, switch to another channel to talk.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires a Ship Station License for some vessels equipped with VHF radios, RADAR, EPIRBs and some other telecommunications equipment. As of 1996, most recreational vessels no longer need the FCC license if operating domestically. "Domestically" means not traveling to foreign ports or transmitting to foreign stations, including Canada.
The Ship Station License must be on board the vessel.
A license application (Form 506) can be obtained from any office of the FCC. Call 1-800-418 FORM (3676) for an application and information. There is a fee for the license.
The Ohio River is a boundary between Ohio and the states of Kentucky and West Virginia. Numerous enforcement agencies patrol this river and each has the authority to enforce boating safety laws and assist boaters in distress. Boating safety equipment and operating laws vary from state to state. Please contact the following agencies for boating or fishing regulations.

- Maria, people recognise morals only until it does not disturb it. Then they step through it, commit crimes and declare publicly that their acts have been dictated by emergency. I consider that it is better to send the person as an experimental rat in laboratory, than to destroy it for the sake of own enrichment. - You tell terrible things! - Be not frightened. - he has looked at it attentively and took for a hand. - not so I am terrible, as now it seemed to you. Simply I exaggerate a little, that you could understand me. - Never faced what similar! - she has perplexed responded. - to exaggerate to inform thought? Maria did not understand, whether told Rejter truth or cruelly joked, pursuing any unknown aim. - You want, that I participated in experiences over people? - I want to involve you in researches. I hope that, having started to work at Institute, you will open in yourselves some abilities. - What abilities? - I do not know, there it will be visible. pojdyomte, I will show something to you. It is my pride. It has brought Maria to an oak case and has opened a door. The translucent skull inside lay. - What miracle! - Maria has exhaled, having felt inflow of any reverential delight. - A skull from crystal. Till now nobody knows, for what purpose such subjects were created. I am assured that they had occult value. - All of you reduce to an occultism, mister Rejter. - Touch. - it carefully took a subject in hands. - you will understand at once that this thing never intended simply for an admiring it... From it force proceeds. Only here that it for force? In the opinion of Rejtera the spark unfamiliar to Maria has flashed. - How to define it? How to fix? - You also are engaged in it? He has smiled, and in its smile Maria has read undisguised pride. - Yes, my department reconstructs ancient rituals. We recreate atmosphere to reveal power inherent in it. To me has had the luck to be engaged in of what I dreamt since the childhood. I raved an antiquity, raved magic. And here at my order there is all accessible for today ňĺőíč÷ĺťńęčĺ means, I set a direction of researches, I define problems... - You intrigue me. - At last you have shown any interest, - Charles sincerely was delighted. He has led it further. - One of these days it has come from the USA. They have stopped before the big wooden box. Rejter has given a hand and has got from straw voluminous parcel from the soft white suede, decorated with a long fringe. - Look! It is the sacred quiver made of a skin of a white otter. In it were never stored neither onions, nor arrows because it was a sacred sheaf, instead of a part of military or hunting ammunition. See, it is fastened from both ends by cords? Indians have named this quiver. - What? - White Spirit. This sacred parcel - the keeper of force. It used during ceremonies, addressed to it for the help. Every possible stones, bowls, the bird's pads inside lie. - Sacred parcel? It is possible to touch it? - I wanted to ask you about it, - Rejter very seriously has answered. - take it. Take. Feel.

Interactive: Strong and Silent
THE DESIGN OF EXTERNAL hard drives isn't exactly ripe for innovation. Functionally, there isn't much difference from one model to the next; despite how distinct they may appear from the outside, the components inside are standard. So when a marquee designer like Philippe Starck restyles one, our first question is: How much of a premium are we paying for a prettier box?
With the LaCie Blade Runner, however, Mr. Starck pushes the boundary of form—this drive looks like no other—to improve function.
The device's blob-shaped center, which is suspended inside 16 aluminum fins, tackles two age-old annoyances common to external drives of this type: noise and vibration. The Blade Runner is quiet. The bulk of the case is cast from a single piece of aluminum, and those fins, which have enough room between them for air to circulate, dissipate heat so that a noisy fan isn't required. To dampen vibration (hard drives like these have platters that spin thousands of times per minute), the Blade Runner's case is heavy, solid and completely sealed. Adapting a trick from the hi-fi industry, which often poises speakers and turntables on stiletto-like feet, the 4.4-pound drive rests on four slim rubber pads to prevent transferring residual jitter to your desk.
At four terabytes, the Blade Runner is among the largest-capacity hard drives that you can buy—it has enough space to store a lifetime of digital photos, videos and music—and only a limited edition of 9,999 will be released. Compared with other USB 3.0 drives, it does command a premium. But, unlike most "designer" models, its appeal is more than just visual. Mr. Starck's most impressive flourish? Making something so soft-spoken. $300, lacie.com
