Getting Downtown from Munich Airport
Munich's Franz Josef Strauss Airport (Airport Code: MUC) is located about 35 km (20 miles) to the north of Munich. In addition to being a hub airport for Lufthansa, the airport is used by many international carriers and budget airlines. Air Canada flies directly to Munich, as do the US carriers United, Delta, and US Airways.
If you're staying in Munich and want to rent a car, keep in mind traffic is quite bad. Even if you're planning a car tour of Europe starting with one or more overnights in Munich, you might want to wait to rent the car until your Munich stay is over. Similarly, if you plan to spend your final evening in Munich before flying home, consider turning in the rental car on arrival in Munich and using public transport to get to the airport.
The Lufthansa Airport Bus is a possibility, stopping at the Nordfriedhof U-Bahn station (U6) and the Hauptbahnhof, costing EUR 10.50 1-way (EUR 5.50 per child) and EUR 17 round-trip. The buses depart about every 20 minutes, and are scheduled to take approximately 25 minutes to get to Nordfriedhof, and 40 minutes to get to the Hauptbahnhof (travel time varies depending on traffic).
My recommendation to get downtown, however, is to take the S-Bahn. The S-1 and S-8 depart alternately about every 10 minutes. Travel time downtown is 40-50 minutes, depending on where you're going.
Costs: Railpasses (e.g. Eurail, Selectpass, German Rail Pass) are valid on the S-Bahn only (i.e. not the U-Bahn, trams, or buses), but require use of a travel day on a flexi pass -- a bad value unless you're taking a train well outside of Munich the day you arrive. A 1-way ticket costs EUR 10.40 with cash (a bit less with "non-cash" options -- see the website for details), but for just a bit more (EUR 11.70), you can buy a "Single Tageskarte Gesamtnetz," which covers the trip plus all of Munich's S-Bahns, U-Bahns, trams, and buses for the rest of the day. An even better deal for 2-5 travelers is the "Partner Tageskarte Gesamtnetz," which costs EUR 21.30, just a few cents more than two 1-way tickets alone, and covers the transit system for the whole day for up to 5 people traveling together. You can purchase tickets at the DB ticket booths or at the easy-to-use ticket machines (the ones at the airport even take credit cards!). Remember to validate your ticket in the machines marked "E" before you board. (NOTE: When you purchase a Tageskarte Gesamtnetz at the airport, sometimes also known as an "Airport-City-Day Ticket," you no longer need to cancel the tickets, but you must use the ticket on the same day you buy it.)- Budget Travel

Munich Airport: my favourite :-)
Whenever I fly to Ancona (Italy), I have to change planes in Munich. And it is now my most favourite airport in Germany. But only recently I realised that it is the second biggest German airport when it comes to transport passengers. Very interesting, especially since I do not really like my home airport Frankfurt, which is just too big and where I cannot refrain from thinking that the airport managers are a bit overstrained. Often I have to walk a lot to get to my gates.
Not so in Munich. Even though the flights to Italy with Air Dolomiti involve bus transfer to the planes, it always seems to very efficient and excellently organised.
Ok, the hard facts are that Munich's airport, named Franz-Josef Strauß Airport (after the famous Bavarian politician) is in operation since 1992. It is located approx. 30 km NE of the city, easy in reach with public transport (streetcar/Straßenbahn S1 and S8, 45 min from main station). It has two terminals, T2 being the one where Lufthansa and Star Alliance flights are being checked. As of today, 110 airlines fly regularly into and out of Munich, 230 destinations worldwide being served. The airport has two runways, the third one will most likely not be built, as a result of a citizens' decision mid June 2012.
Terminal 2 is a very convenient airport, with only a short part without transport bands/ moving walkways, as opposed to Frankfurt where long distances have to be walked, especially strenuous when one has to catch another flight.... In the middle of the terminal the food and shopping stores are located, often quite pricey.
But in case one wants to save some money, here are my suggestions:
* get your free coffee (several varieties including hot chocolate) from one of the Lufthansa self-serving machines, which are quite abundant here and I found them always filled and functioning (as opposed to Frankfurt!). Don't worry, even if you are not a Lufthansa or Star Alliance passenger: these machines are for everyone,
* in "Little Italy", or "Spazio Italia" in the lower level (L3), the prices are very reasonable and good food is being served too. Although it is only snacks. But for my double caffè macchiato plus croissant plus San Pellegrino Limonata I paid only 6,60 Euro in August 2012 (Limonata: 3,10, croissant: 1,80, caffè macchiato: 1,70). This level is located down the escalators just behind the mini Allianz-Arena.

Munich Airport, Germany
"Munich Airport" is located 30 km north of Munich, Germany and is a hub for Lufthansa and Star Alliance partner airlines.
It lies nearby the old city of Freising and is named in memory of politician Franz Josef Strauss.
The Munich Airport Centre (MAC) is a shopping, business and recreation area that connects the two terminals. The older Central Area which was originally built as part of Terminal 1, hosts a shopping mall and the S-Bahn station. The newer MAC Forum built with Terminal 2 is a large outdoor area with a tent-like, partly transparent roof. Next to it is the airport hotel managed by Kempinski.
As its the hub, u can get many connections to other parts of Germany and also Europe, just check the last minute desks on the second level which u can grab a promo rate for ur next flight .. :)- Food and Dining

Luggage Storage at the Airport
If you need to, you can store luggage at the airport. Cost (as of April 2013) is between EUR 2.30 and EUR 7.50 (depending on size) for the first 3 hours, between EUR 3.80 and EUR 10 per piece for up to 24 hours, then between EUR 2.80 and EUR 8.50 for each 24-hour period thereafter.

I've used this airport many times in the last 2 years, on trips to the Ingolstadt area of Bavaria - about 45 minutes by car from the airport.
Arrivals have always been easy and fast. Same with departures.
Most of my trips have been on easyJet, so using terminal 1. Checkin is in the "Z" area, 1 floor below the others, in the middle section of the building. It is quick and painless - I have an easyJet Plus card which means a dedicated check counter. £100 p-a, so good value.
Passport control can be a little slow, depending on other flights leaving about the same time. Usually it is quite bearable.
Departure zone C - used by easyJet - has the Atlantic Lounge, which I can use (free of charge) by dint of my Diners Club card. TV, newspapers, drinks, snacks and comfortable seats all help to make the trip start well. £30 p-a for the card, so with about 12 flights in a year it's worth it for the coffee alone.
Access by car to the airport is very easy, and you can drop off right at the terminal door.
Train access is by the S-Bahn from the city centre - no mainline trains. They run every 20 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof (and other city centre stations). That's where you'll get a mainline train connection.- Budget Travel

MUC-Franz Josef Strauss International Airport
Probably we shall start with the beginning and the beginning for us was the landing on the Munich Airport…
It was nothing special with the airport but once out of the airport we have understood why Germany is so "German".
Even the airplanes are special, the seats are new and everywhere you'll find real leather and the best quality materials.
All is clean, all is well organized, all is built to last and all is built around people.
The entrance to the airport is covered, the parking are there, train station is there, the rent cars are there, taxi station is there either.
And, as even my 8 years old sun discovered, you can easily see the richness of the place EVERYWHERE. -
Airport is Out There
It is about a 15-18 mile drive into the Inner Ring Road from the airport, located off A92 autobahn. If traffic is not heavy , the time to get to the Inner Road would be about 25-30 minutes; but from there to get to the center of the city, it may take another 20+ minutes.
The airport is laid out very well to find your way around. The issue is the size takes a lot of walking to get to the rental car pick up, or other transportation from the gates -
Lufthansa - Heathrow to Munich
I flew over to Munich on the 17.10 Lufthansa flight from Heathrow. Flight took 1 hr 50 minutes.
Unlike some of the other cheap airlines, Lufthansa does a decent flight with a coffee and sandwich thrown in.
Then I took the regular shuttle bus into town €10,50 single or €17.00 return.
The bus was a 45 minute journey, dropping us off close to the hotel at the main Hauptbahnhof railway station.- Trains

Transiting at Munich Airport
Munich airport has often been ranked as one of the top 10 airports in the world, and one of the top 3 airports in Europe. In fact, in 2010 it has been chosen as the best airport in Europe. Of all the airports in Europe, I've been to Budapest, Paris (many times), Frankfurt and also Munich, and I can say that I find Munich very traveller-friendly and welcoming. :)
Transiting was a breeze. The airport is well-signposted in English and German. Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners (such as Singapore Airlines) operate out of Terminal 2. I flew on Lufthansa from Shanghai to Frankfurt, with a transfer in Munich. Unfortunately the stopover was only for about 3 hours in the early morning, and I didn't have the luxury of extending (was on work) so I couldn't leave the airport to enjoy the wonderful sights of Munich. However I enjoyed what I saw of the airport transit area and based on that experience would love to go back again!
The duty-free shop was reasonably good in its selection of perfumes, alcohol and also European and German souvenirs such as beer, sausages, chocolate etc. Since it was a couple of weeks before Easter, there were pretty Easter-themed chocolate souvenirs on sale when I went. I can't be sure, but they might look better than they taste. ;)
Souvenirs, snacks, drinks, magazines and books can also be found at the convenience stores. I finally found my postcards here, and the friendly staff will also sell stamps. If you want to post the postcards, one of the staff kindly offered to help me with that (just give the postcards to her after you're done writing them) and the postcards reached me fine. Figure on about 1.5-2 EUR for a postcard, and 1 EUR for postage.
There're plenty of places to eat, what I saw in the early morning were mainly cafes which open around 0500 to 0600. For a sample of prices (I took photographs of the menu at Dallmayr Bistro), figure on about 6.5-15 EUR for a breakfast set, 5-7 EUR for a sandwich, 2-3 EUR for a pastry/croissant, 2-6 EUR for a coffee/tea -- prices quoted exclude taxes. However I wanted to save my money and eat on the plane, so I didn't get the chance to try anything.
If you're lucky enough (like me) to fly and transit on Star Alliance airlines, you'll be pleased to find that you can enjoy free cups of coffee, chocolate, milk or tea (or even just hot water) at the beverage stations in the transit area of Terminal 2. The options on the self-service machines are only in German, good luck figuring them out. ;) If you're an English-speaker and go to cafes frequently, most of the names won't be too difficult. It took me some time to figure out that "Heisse Schokolade" is hot chocolate (it was easier when I heard another traveller beside me reading it out!), "Milch fur Tee/Kaffee" will give you hot milk and "Heisse Wasser" is hot water. As for tea, you can have your pick of green, Ceylon (English), fruit and vanilla. There're plenty of paper cups, serviettes, sugar and stirrers available. If you read German, there're also a lot of newspapers and some magazines available for free, I forgot if there were any English-language newspapers but I think so.
I found toilets a little scarce in the transit area -- had to walk a little far from where I was to get to one. Either that, or the signs didn't direct me to the nearest toilets. In any case, I found the toilets to be very clean, reasonably spacious and with enough cubicles.
I find at Munich and Frankfurt airports that passengers generally do the check-in process with the self-service machines (great for saving on labour). If you run into problems, then go to the staff standing around and try to get them to help. After choosing your seat and printing out your boarding pass, go to the check-in counters if you have any luggage to check-in, otherwise you can go directly to your boarding gate. At the boarding gate, you can scan the boarding pass at a "ticket gate", if everything goes well (ie you're not trying to board the wrong flight at the wrong place), the gate will open and you can walk down to your plane. Being a rather new traveller with non-Asian airports, I was very pleasantly surprised as this method is much more efficient and easier for travellers who might not be able to communicate with airport ground staff. Of course, that's assuming you know what these "ticket gates" are and how to use them!- Budget Travel

S-bahn to the city centre.
The trip from the airport to the city centre in Munich is very straightforward. Take the S-bahn S1 or S8. The trip crosses 4 ticketing zones, so if one is puzzled at the ticketing machine (with all the small prints), just pressed the small orange rectangular button with a 4 on it (if you are going to the city centre). the machine will ask for 9.20 euro (price is correct April 2009), it takes euro notes and will give change.

Getting to Central Munich from Airport
There are many options for getting into Munich after you arrive at the Airport. The best value looks like the S bahn, lines 1 and 8 head into the centre.
The ticket machines are located downstairs in the centre of a shopping mall area.Takes cash and gives change.
Many options as far as tickets to go for. Consider the Partner one which allows up to 5 people, max 2 adults to travel within specified zones for the day.Ideal for a family but a couple can also use. Cost was 18 euros in March 2008. -
Josef Strauss Airport to Hotel
We caught the Lufthansa bus from the airport to the central train station, Hauptbahnof in Munich. Our hotel, Eden Wolffe, was directly across the street. I made arrangements for the bus ahead of time online. It was very clean, comfortable and inexpensive. One tip: I printed out a colored photo of the bus I would be looking for online prior to my trip. It made it easier to spot and sort through all the transportation options quickly when we arrived. Had my kids looking for a "blue bus". Worked out great.

Fly Via Salzburg
If your local airport doesn't offer direct flights to Munich, an alternative way of getting there is via Salzburg. (Thomsonfly operates very low cost flights from London Gatwick during much of the year.)
From Salzburg Airport, take a bus from directly outside the terminal building to Salzburg main train station (Hauptbahnhof). The journey takes 15-20 minutes and costs €1.80.
At the railway station you can buy a return ticket to Munich for €54. There are two trains an hour and if you get the faster one, the journey time is about 90 minutes. The trains are very comfortable and there is some nice scenery to enjoy en route.
When you arrive at Munich Hauptbahnhof it's easy to catch U-Bahn or S-Bahn trains to any area of the city.- Museum Visits

S8 from Munich Airport to City Center
The directions I received from a local on how to arrive to my hotel near city center (on Maximilianstrasse) from the airport was as follows:
Taking a taxi from the airport to your hotel is expensive - in the order of US $100 (as far as I have heard). The much more economical way to do it is to take the train called "S8" from the airport (the station is in the basement of the Terminal 1 building) to the 11th stop called "Isartor" (a 36 minutes train ride) and to take a taxi from there to your hotel. The only difficulty in going to town this way is buying the right train ticket at the airport: Do not even try the ticket vending machines, they are horrible. There are some real people around (sitting behind a counter in Terminal 1 right where you go down the escalators to the basement) who are selling tickets to those who are interested.
My commentary based on my experience:
I found that the S-Bahn was easy to use from the airport. The S-Bahn originates from the airport, so there's only one direction you can take. The key is just taking the right train. Only two trains service this airport (S1 and S8). Anyways, the signs are well posted, and you won't have a problem finding them.
The trains are comfortable, and I found them to have plenty of space for my luggage.
I did have problem finding the ticket people as my host recommended (because after re-reading his message, I went down the elevator before looking for the ticket people, and I should have looked for the people before I took the escalator down). However, the machines were not as bad as he said. The cost to go to town was 8.80 Euros. The machines actually took credit cards.
Based on actually doing this trip, I would say to get off at Marienplatz station (12th Stop). This stop is more central to the city center, and a nicer area to view when walking to your hotel. I decided to walk rather than take a taxi (although taxis seem to wait outside these stations).- Budget Travel

Something I failed to mention in the review is how excruciatingly boring this album is, which really lowered my rating of it. D3rF31: Nah man, I respect your opinion, but to me this is their worst.

High-speed chase through Kingman ends with crash
AHRON SHERMAN/Miner
Police chased Jack Taylor Lagerwey through the streets of Kingman Monday, and it ended when he ran a red light at the intersection of Bank Street and Gordon Avenue and crashed into another vehicle. The bicycle in the foreground was in one of the vehicles involved in the crash.
By Ahron Sherman
A brief police chase through Kingman that reached speeds of at least 75 mph Monday ended when Jack Taylor Lagerwey, the man being pursued, ran a red light at the intersection of Bank Street and Gordon Avenue and plowed into a large green truck.
Kingman Police Department
received a report that a trailer had been stolen from the 2000 block of Club Avenue around 2:30 p.m. Within four minutes of the call, KPD's on-duty sergeant spotted a gray Mazda truck towing the trailer north on Harrison Avenue.
The sergeant attempted to pull the 43-year-old Lagerwey over, and at that point "the chase was on," said KPD Sergeant Bob Fisk.
The trailer fell off (it was later recovered), and the chase took those involved to the west side of train tracks, over toward K-Mart, on to Airway Avenue and through many of the streets to the west of Andy Devine Avenue. Lagerwey ran multiple red lights, Fisk said.
Lagerwey made it back on to Airway Avenue, where he started going west, Fisk said. He turned onto Bank Street and started heading north, he added.
At that point, the sergeant in charge of directing the pursuit called it off because of traffic and how fast Lagerwey was driving, Fisk said.
Shortly thereafter, Lagerwey ran his last red light of the day and crashed into the large green truck, which was carrying two occupants.
Lagerwey was transported to Kingman Regional Medical Center because of possible face and head lacerations. One of the occupants of the truck was also transported, but it is unclear what his injuries were.
The truck's other occupant didn't need to be transported via ambulance, but she was taken to the hospital by one of the lieutenants on the scene, Fisk said.
Police expect to take a sample of Lagerwey's blood to be analyzed for alcohol and drugs, Fisk said. Lagerwey did not own the truck he was driving, but Fisk said it wasn't stolen either.
Police recovered a bag filled with a substance consistent with marijuana, Fisk said.
The incident is being investigated.
"We don't have all the details and facts just yet," Fisk said.

The "Near-Surface Layer of the Ocean" provides a comprehensive account of the structure and dynamics of this important component of the ocean. The book develops the relevant physics and thermodynamics in depth. Detailed treatment is given to the surface microlayer, upper-ocean turbulence, fine thermohaline structure, coherent structures, high wind-speed regime, and to practical applications. Results of major air-sea interaction experiments (including those obtained with the participation of the authors) are used in the analysis.

By Frazier Smith
Dayton Mayor Gary Leitzell, in Washington on Thursday for the National Conference of Mayors meeting, was among mayors from cities who met with Vice President Joe Biden to hear his pitch on gun control.
Biden met with the mayors one day after he and President Barack Obama unveiled sweeping proposals on gun control.
Leitzell, in a brief interview with a reporter from the Cox Washington Bureau, expressed support for a national gun restriction.
A restriction on firearms, he said, is "somewhat overdue. I definitely would support some kind of restricting them getting into the hands of certain people. or maybe you have a special hike cost license to open anything. You limit their availability."
The mayor said, "I think it should have been done awhile ago. I believe people should have guns but I also think there are certain guns that certain people don't need to have."
Leitzell also suggested a potential hike in license costs to help limit the availability of guns.
He owns a gun, but would use it only for protection.
Biden told the mayors there is a lot that can be done at the city level, but that change needs to happen now.
"I hope we all agree that mass shootings that we saw 34 days ago in Newtown cannot continue to be tolerated," the vice president said.
Mayors can help share information on universal background checks and mental health, Biden said.
The president's $500 million plan marks the most comprehensive effort to tighten gun laws in nearly two decades. He outlined four major legislative proposals: universal background checks for all gun buyers, a crackdown on gun trafficking, a ban on military-style assault weapons and a ban on ammunition magazines holding more than 10 bullets.
In addition to his proposals, the president signed several executive actions, including adding data to the federal background check system and launching a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.
Some of the president's proposals will take effect immediately through executive order. Some may take years to make their way through Congress.

Penguins claim Taylor Pyatt off waivers
The Taylor Pyatt era in New York has come to an end. The Pittsburgh Penguins have claimed the winger off waivers, absolving the Rangers of his $1.55 million cap hit and clearing a spot on the 50 man reserve list. Over his 70 games for the Rangers, Pyatt was a pretty big disappointment, putting together a line of 6-6-12 over the season and a half.

China's exports fell the most since the global financial crisis, dealing another blow to confidence as Communist Party leaders meeting in Beijing assess the risk from the nation's first onshore bond default.
China is paying a heavy environmental price for growth in gross domestic product and leaders will only solve the pollution problem if they change the country's development model, a vice minister said.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the Asia-Pacific will be a testing ground for relations with the U.S. and that leaders won't allow instability on the Korean Peninsula.
China should allow companies to default on their bonds, an external supervisor at the Bank of China said today, after a solar-cell maker couldn't repay full interest on its debt.
The euro rallied for a fifth week as European Central Bank President Maro Draghi said he expects inflation in the currency bloc to gradually rise, damping bets that policy makers would reduce the benchmark interest rate.
Asian stocks rose this week, with the regional gauge capping its longest streak of weekly gains since September, as U.S. data signaled resilience in the world's biggest economy and concern about the Ukraine crisis eased.
U.S. retail sales probably rose in February as consumer spending stabilized, data in the coming week may show.
The dollar rose to a six-week high against the yen as U.S. employment gains exceeded forecasts, boosting speculation that the Federal Reserve will continue to pare monetary stimulus that's seen as debasing the currency.
Treasuries fell for a fourth day, while oil and the dollar rose after stronger-than-forecast jobs growth fueled optimism in the American economy. U.S. stocks were little changed as Russia said it may cut Ukraine's gas supplies.
China's onshore bond market experienced its first default as a solar-cell maker failed to pay full interest on its bonds, signaling the government will back off its practice of bailing out companies with bad debt.

Wow - what can I say. I had a set of business cards and a set of mini cards printed, and thought they had printed a little darker than expected, as I had not used the 'enhance image' feature. As this was my first MOO order, the customer service team contacted me to ask for feedback. I mentioned the darker than expected printing. Less than 24 hours later I received an email saying they were going to reprint both sets of cards for me. These were shipped to me (I live in Barbados) within record time (and no additional charges).
I feel like MOO have gone above and beyond what was expected, and not only valued my feedback, but went the extra mile to rectify the situation.
Well done MOO!
Will definitely use you for printing, again!

My daughter, my wife, and I all have an iTunes account. All three of us are using the same computer and each of us has a separate iTunes library loaded on the same computer. This setup uses lots of memory. Is it possible to load one version of iTunes onto an external hard drive and still have our own separate accounts?
- Scot
A:You can definitely share the same iTunes library across more than one user account on your operating system as well as having multiple iTunes Store accounts for the same iTunes library.
To consolidate your library, you can either use an external hard drive or even a shared folder on your internal hard drive that all users have access to (ie, C:Music). You can start by moving one of your three iTunes libraries to this shared location—detailed instructions on how to do this can be found in our iPod 201 article on Transferring your iTunes Library.
Once you have moved the first library to a shared location, the next step will be to export the information from your other two iTunes libraries so that you can consolidate all of your information into the new, primary library. You can export each library to an XML file by choosing File, Library, Export Library from the iTunes menu and specifying a location for your library XML file. This XML file can then be imported into your new, main iTunes library by using the File, Library, Import Playlist option.
Following the import of these XML files, running the "Consolidate Library" option, as described in the article above, will then bring all of your music from the other libraries into the single "iTunes Music" folder used by the primary library.
Alternatively, if your ratings, playlists and play counts from the other libraries are not critically important, you could instead choose to simply add the media content from the other libraries into your new, primary iTunes library by using the File, Add to Library function in the iTunes menu and simply pointing at the other media files.
Note that in either case, if you had a lot of the same music across your three iTunes libraries, you will end up with duplicates in your new, consolidated library. You can track these down by using the File, Show Duplicates option in iTunes or by using a third-party application such as Dupe Eliminator for iTunes.
On the other hand, if you find that your media content is almost entirely identical across all three libraries, then it may be simpler to just determine which few songs are not in your main library and import those manually.
Once you've consolidated all of your music into a single iTunes library, simply ensure that all three user accounts are pointing to the same iTunes library in the shared location. This can be done by holding down the SHIFT key when starting iTunes, which will present a dialog box asking you to either create or choose a new iTunes library to use. Simply click "Choose Library" and browse to the path where your new, shared iTunes library is stored.
Note that although iTunes can easily support all of your family's iPods from a single library you may want to set up synchronization using "Selected Playlists" to determine which music is synchronized to each iPod. It is also important to note that if you are automatically synchronizing all of your iPods to the same iTunes library, information such as ratings, play counts and last played dates will be shared across all three users, so when one family member listens to a song on their iPod, the play count and last played date will get updated for everybody.
I use three iPods (a fourth-generation iPod nano, a second-generation iPod touch, and an 80 GB iPod classic) with a single copy of iTunes running on a desktop Dell. The main library is synched in its entirety to the 80 GB classic. I have separate smaller libraries for the nano and the touch, selected upon iTunes startup (by holding down the shift key, which lets me specify which to launch). I do all new purchases in the main library and then manually copy the songs/folders to the smaller libraries. Is there an automatic way to have all new purchases appear in all three libraries? I can't just add the "Purchases" folder because it doesn't appear when I view the iTunes folder, either in iTunes itself via the "Add Folder" option or in Windows Explorer. Any ideas?
- Steve
A:Although your playlists in iTunes are not represented in the underlying file system, you can actually copy tracks directly from iTunes itself to another folder simply by selecting them in your iTunes window and then dragging and dropping the selected tracks to a folder in Windows Explorer. iTunes will copy all of the selected tracks to the destination folder.
Therefore, in this case you could simply highlight the newly-added tracks in your "Purchased" playlist, drag-and-drop them to another folder, and then add them to your other iTunes libraries from there.
That having been said, however, it sounds like you may be over-complicating your iTunes setup. There is rarely a need to configure separate, smaller libraries to support lower-capacity iPods and maintain a separate media collection for each. Instead, you could synchronize all of your iPods to the same iTunes library and set up playlist sets for your lower-capacity iPods.
Each iPod you connect to iTunes has its own synchronization preferences, independent of any other iPods that you may be syncing to the same library. Among these preferences is the ability to synchronize only selected playlists rather than your entire iTunes library.
So in this case, you would simply set up a series of playlists to use on your iPod nano and iPod touch, containing all of the music and other media content that you want synchronized to these devices. Once you have these playlists setup, simply connect each of your iPods to your computer, select them from the Devices list in iTunes, and choose the "Music" tab to configure which playlists you would like to synchronize to that specific iPod. iTunes will sync only the content listed in those playlists to that particular iPod, and you would manage which tracks you want on your iPod simply by modifying the content of those selected playlists.
Note that the same method can be used for synchronizing movies and TV shows to your iPod—simply choose the Movies or TV Shows tabs, respectively, and choose either the individual Movies or TV Shows you wish to sync by title, or choose to sync by playlist and select the playlists containing the movies or TV shows you would like to sync to your device.
Since you would be using a single iTunes library in this case, you have the advantage of reducing the amount of storage required on your computer as well as being able to share other metadata such as ratings and play counts across all of your iPod devices.
Further, you would be better able to take advantage of Smart Playlists to help manage the content on each of your iPods. A Smart Playlist is basically just a saved search where all tracks meeting the search criteria are included in a dynamically-updated playlist. For instance, if you wanted all newly-purchased content to be automatically synced to all three iPods without having to worry about adding the tracks to device-specific playlists, you could easily use the built-in "Recently Added" Smart Playlist or create your own variation on it to limit the scope by size.

Nation Starting To Realize New Era Of American Innovation Never Gonna Happen: Full Report
I know it's satire. But damn if that doesn't cut deep.
(via adriofthedead)
Source: theonion
Americans reported feelings of overwhelming disgust with whatever abhorrent bastard did this and with the world at large for ever allowing it to happen, as well as with politicians, with the NRA, and above all with their own pathetic goddamn selves, sitting in front of a fucking computer instead of doing fucking anything to help anyone—Christ, as if that were even fucking possible, as if anyone could change what happened, as if the same fucking bullshit isn't going to keep happening again and again and fucking again before people finally decide it's time to change the way we live, so what's the point? What the hell is the goddamned point?
Romney Apologizes To Nation's 150 Million 'Starving, Filthy Beggars'
Romney also said he recognized that the hardships of the nation's low-earners are made more difficult by the fact that so "very, very many of them are drug-addicted, high-school-dropout single mothers and fathers who sleep in gutters while sewer rats nibble at their necrotic flesh."
In an effort to right his campaign and rebuild his image, Romney promised to bring his message of compassion and economic opportunity to the "ramshackle, mud-floored huts" in which half of all U.S. residents live.
"Let me make this absolutely clear: I have the utmost respect for all of the filth-encrusted, lesion-covered degenerates of this nation," Romney said. "In the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting real Americans in their squalid, roach-infested hellholes in every corner of this country. I promise to stand up for every one of you, even the 47 percent of you huddled together for warmth, fighting your own family members for moldy crusts of bread as you wallow in your own excrement."

Pregnant Woman Relieved To Learn Her Rape Was Illegitimate
LITCHFIELD, CT—Though she was initially upset following the brutal sexual assault last month that left her pregnant, victim Martha Byars told reporters she was relieved Sunday to learn from Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) that her ability to conceive her unwanted child proves she was not, in fact, legitimately raped.
"Being violently coerced into having sex was the worst thing that's ever happened to me, so I take comfort in knowing it wasn't actually rape," Byars said of the vicious encounter in which she was accosted in an alleyway by a stranger, pinned to the ground, and penetrated against her will for 25 minutes. "It was absolutely horrific—I felt violated in the worst way imaginable—but thanks to Congressman Akin, I now realize it must, at some level, have been consensual after all."

Farrukhabad district is a district of Uttar Pradesh state in northern India. The town of Fatehgarh is the district headquarters. The district is part of Kanpur Division.
Farrukhabad is situated between Lat. 26° 46' N & 27° 43' N and Long. 79° 7' E & 80° 2' E. The district is bounded by Badaun and Shahjahanpur on the north, Hardoi District on the east, Kannauj District on the south, and Etah and Mainpuri districts on the west. The Ganges River and Ramganga River are located to the east and the Kali River to the south.
The district formerly included present day Kannauj District; it was divided into two districts on September 18, 1997. The district consists of three tehsils, Farrukhabad, Kaimganj and Amritpur. Amritpur tehsil was created from Rajepur Block after the district was split in 1997.
The district lies on a plain, varied only by a few gentle undulations and slopes, some times abrupt, which lead down to the river valleys. The highest recorded elevation is 167 m above sea level at Mohammadabad and the lowest 145.69 m at Mau Rasulpur in the Trans Ganges flats of Tehsil Farrukhabad. The only marked variation of level is between the two divisions, the upland or bangar, which is a continuation of the doab and the low lands or Tarais, cut away from the upland by the erosive action of the rivers.
The climate of the district is characterised by a hot dry summer and a pleasant cold season.
Farrukhabad City[edit]
The headquarters of the District is located at Fatehgarh. The district with a total area of 2,28,830 hectares consists of three tehsils, seven Development Block, 511 Gram panchayats, 1010 villages, 13 police stations, two nagar palikas (Municipal Committees) and four nagar panchayats (Town Area committee) and one Cantonment Board. Farrukhabad City was founded by Nawab Mohammad Khan Bangash in 1714 who named it after the reigning Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar.
According to the 2011 census Farrukhabad district has a population of 1,887,577,[1] roughly equal to the nation of Lesotho[2] or the US state of West Virginia.[3] This gives it a ranking of 250th in India (out of a total of 640).[1] The district has a population density of 865 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,240 /sq mi) .[1] Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 20.2%.[1] Farrukhabad has a sex ratio of 874 females for every 1000 males,[1] and a literacy rate of 70.57%.[1]

Apart from these, there are many old temples, which prove the historical & religious importance of Kampil.
During the epic period it was the capital of King Drupada, the father of Draupadi. The sacrificial altar (Yajna Kund) from which Draupadi is believed to have been born from the fire of knowledge, is situated in Kampil till date. Near the sacrificial altar, there's a structure, which is the hermitage of a sage Kampil, where he used to perform penance. As per mythology the temple of Rameshwarnath Mahadev, is attributed to Shatrughna brother of Rama. It is said that he had brought the idol (Lingam) of Shiva, which was worshiped by Sita, the wife of Rama in Ashok Vatika while she was held in captivity in Lanka and installed in this temple.
Sankisa is located about 47 km from Farrukhabad. It is believed to be the place where Buddha, along with Brahma and Devraj Indra descended after giving sermons to his mother in Tushita, one of the heavens. At the spot of descent stands a temple with a statue of Buddha. The place is also known for a temple dedicated to Bisari Devi and an excavated Ashokan elephant pillar. There is also colossal Shiva Linga here. A large fair is held at Sankisa in the month of Vaisakha (May) every year.
