Comments about Bam Softpack Tenor Sax Case:
i recently bought this and when i recieved it - it was exactly the quality i was looking for , as the case my tenor saxophone came in was way too big , i want one that is the exact size of my tenor saxophone and this bam soft pack case i got the terra cotta color (red) it also comes in black also a beautiful blue . my tenor sax fits perfectly and it has a inverted space inside the case and you put your neck and mouth piece in the inverted space inside the case and it has a nice cover that fits perfectly over the inverted space and its cover keeps your neck and mouth piece in place so it does not move around and your tenor saxophone fits perfectly , it nicely designed inside the case and outside the case , its the best quality and it zips nice and has a nice grip handle and comes with a strap for around your shoulders . worth the extra money the best quality100 percent worth it .

Justin Bartha's "mystery woman" is in fact his girlfriend, trainer Lia Smith, a source reveals to PEOPLE.
The pair recently enjoyed a cozy trip to Smith's native Hawaii and were snapped basking in the sun on Maui on New Year's Day, which got people buzzing about her identity.
"They were very cute with each other," says an eyewitness. "They had their arms around each other and were kissing."
The couple also spent time with Smith's parents on Oahu. Bartha, who currently stars on The New Normal, was previously linked to Scarlett Johansson and dated Ashley Olsen for two years before breaking up in 2011.

BRAND NEW 1 Bedroom Villa in beautiful garden setting. Perfect for solo travelers & couples or a small family.
Walk to Ubud. Located in the sought after neighborhood of Penestenan, We have 2 one bedroom villas that can be rented alone or together.
Each new villa is private and has all brand new furnishings and bedding. The fully air-conditioned villa has a luxurious king sized bed with beautiful linens, a desk and plenty of hanging closet space to get the wrinkles out of your travel clothes. (An additional mattress can be requested if traveling with a small child.)
The open air living area features a shaded day bed for daily naps and a separate area to sit and have a bite to eat. Each villa also has a small kitchen area with basic kitchen supplies. The bedroom features a built in desk for inspired writings and storage. The bathroom is a fully westernized, immaculate indoor enclave with shower and tub, toilet and sink.
The 3 sided infinity edge pool is the centerpiece of the gardens. It's perfect to cool off from a day of sightseeing and walking in Ubud.
2 minute walk to Alchemy Detox & Raw Food restaurant
2 minutes to local warung restaurants
3 minute walk to Eve Spa for relaxing massages
7 minute walk to Intuitive Flow Yoga Center
15 minute walk to the center of Ubud.
Motor bike rental available.
The villas are Balinese owned. The family has done a beautiful job constructing these villas and will treat you as part of their family during your stay.
Simply the 'Best Breakfast in Bali' is served for an additional additional 50,000 rph ($5 US) per night for 2 people. It is SOOO relaxing to have breakfast served right to your villa door, lovingly prepared by Made. (Breakfast can be ordered directly with Ketut and Made upon your arrival and paid directly).
Other villa listed at: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/689523
Both villas are identical and can be rented together. Each villa is private and separated by lush gardens and space. Even when you are outside, you'll have your own private space to indulge in.
It was a wonderful experience. Just as the name mentions it is 'Perfect for Couples'. Ketuat and his family was of great help. The proximity of the villa is also very good in terms of the market and food outlets. The experience was a BLISS.
Sabina's staff were fantastic -some of the nicest people ever put on our planet!
We had a wonderful time and nothing was too much trouble for them. We recommend this place and would like to return.
We love Penestanan. We loved Amomaya House.
It was exactly as described in the listing.
We travelled with another couple who booked the other villa so we had the place all to ourselves.
The staff were great. Putu and Made kept things spotless and made great breakfasts. Ketut's father made sure the grounds were kept clean and tidy and made sure all was good at the end of the day.
We will be back.
The villa was more than expected & we enjoyed our stay.
Ketut was very helpful, kind & welcoming along with all the staff.
Ketut the owner also helped us with transport for dinner & for around Ubud which was an extra bonus.
The pool was beautiful & we wish we stayed longer.
We would highly recommend this villa & hope to one day come back.
Just had an absolutely wonderful stay in Ubud. Loved the tranquil location, hospitatliy, and helpfulness of all staff. Especially owners Ketut and Mademaya. Room was very clean, pool was exceptional, and enjoyed the home-cooked breakfast each morning. Very pleasant stay. Would recommend to all!
The villa itself is very nice, a big modern bathroom and large bedroom and adequate kitchen. Outside there is a great covered area where you can still enjoy fresh air during rain. Beyond that, the garden is absolutely beautiful, like a dense perimeter of tropical rainforest. Soft grass underfoot and a gorgeous pool. The pool is shared so it will depend on who is in the second villa, but generally we felt like we had the entire grounds to ourselves. I would highly recommend this villa for a couple, for a pair of couples, or a small family.
We just stayed for Amomaya for a week. It was lovely but know that it's quite far from Ubud by foot. By the end of the week, we really wished we could have rented a scooter but we don't hold licenses, nor can we drive on the left side of the road! To get into central Ubud, it's a trek on a busy, busy road into Ubud, not ideal for kids or nervous old ladies like me. Other than that, it's peaceful and worth the $. A negative was that the internet barely worked (the signal is very weak in the villa that does not have the router) and we didn't have a TV in the one villa (though we were paying the same price). There are staff members on the grounds almost 24/7 which is convenient but not as private as we would have liked. Be sure to check out the amazing rice field walks surrounding the villa! Also, Putu, the house "assistant" was awesome, but couldn't give directions or much advice about Ubud. Her coffee and crepes make up for that though. All the locals are nice and always offer a smile and a "Halo"! Be sure to eat at Warung Mendez and pick up some art while you're there!
My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Amomaya. It was so very peaceful! We will certainly stay again, and encourage anyone thinking of spending time here to do so. It is such a special part of the world, with wonderful hosts :)
This is a beautiful place to stay. It is conveniently located near downtown Ubud (20 - 30 mins by foot or 10K-20K IDR by Taxi). The entire villa is perfectly clean and well-maintained. Likewise, the villa's caretakers were were helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for folks staying in Ubud.
It was so good we wished we owned it! As the listing says, perfect for couples and very private. No point trying to give a description as the pictures on Airbnb are a very accurate representation. Bed extra large and super comfy, the a/c is effective and quiet.
Be aware that, at the time of our stay, only one of the villas has TV so if that's important to you specify the one furthest from the entrance gate. The wifi router is also located there which makes for a more consistent service. Don't expect to stream video as the line speed is 0.5 mbs!
It's not too far down the rice field track from the main road, takes less than 5 minutes to walk but you'll need a torch at night so take one with you. We walked to Ubud once but never again, it's not so much the distance but the first kilometre that is on a very busy road with no sidewalks -better to take a taxi (£1.50) or rent a scooter.
The "Dreams" cafe is less than 100 metres up the track and has good variety at great prices.
The owner of Amomaya, Made, was always on hand in the morning with Puto to make breakfast at whatever time you desire, it's now IRP60000 for 2 but is still fantastic value for money.
Sabina, the Airbnb host, is a near neighbour of Made and helps with the internet and Airbnb listing.
All in all a great stay and a good Airbnb experience.

How to play the world in 2013 (using cheap investment trusts)
by Sarah Miloudi on Jan 30, 2013 at 09:40
2013 has got off to a good start.
Stock markets are riding high and corporate and economic data have defied expectations, playing straight into the hands of risk asset bulls.
But a strong beginning to the year also means an expensive one, so strategists are turning their eye to a corner of the market known for its bargains.
To play the key themes of 2013 - steadying growth in China, caution over the US and hopes for improving politics in emerging markets - investment bank JP Morgan is keeping a watchful eye on the closed-end sector and has recommended a series of investment trusts in a note to clients.
Their optimism for the sector is not without reason; the FTSE Equity Investment Instruments Index outperformed the FTSE All Share in 2012, producing a total return of 14.8%, and stand out performers like Aberdeen's New Thai generated returns of more than 50%..
Analyst Chris Brown says there was a strong Asia bias among the sector's best trusts in 2012, and expects this to continue as emerging markets maintain their lead over developed ones.
'[Emerging market] equities are likely to continue to be driven by strong fund flows, helped by stabilisation in Chinese growth and steady improvement in overall bank lending conditions,' Brown explained.
Within emerging Asia, India is the bank's top pick, though it also likes the Philippines and Thailand. Owing to the looming debt ceiling risks it is concerned about the US, while in the alternatives space, hedge funds could deliver mid to high single digit returns to investors.
Cheap picks?
With the difficulties of 2012 still lurking, it will come as no surprise if the tensions between low inflation - a result of lacklustre growth - fiscal tightening and the boundaries of near-zero interest rates soon start to bite.
Against this backdrop, to capture the best opportunities within global growth, Brown and his investment companies team suggest investors take a look at discounted Alliance Trust (-13%), which has an 11% weighting to Asia and last year grew its share price by 16%, and turnaround play Caledonia, whose shares at a 19% discount to net asset value (NAV) and where its manager's focus is on general equities.

"Stock markets are riding high and corporate and economic data have defied expectations, playing straight into the hands of risk asset bulls." Or in the real world, the US economy contracted in Q4 '12 and the 4th largest economy in Europe (Spain) had a shocker (technical term) whilst retail sales continue to fall across the Eurozone. To me it feels exactly the same as 2012, where money was made in the last six months.

This is another simple script for edges detection. I like like it much more than standart edge detection scripts, because in case of photo processing it gives results more close to real ones.
After installation, script will be at Scripts/Leon/Morphology edges detection
I'm attached here an example: sources picture and results of Sobel and Morphology edge detection. Each edges are processed: colors inverted, Color-Levels-Auto.
This script sharpens an image with the built-in GIMP plugins erode and dilate. These two plugins infiltrate the image with the lowest/highest pixel of the closer environment, but never higher or lower.http://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-dilate.htmlhttp://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-erode.html
This means, they can be used to sharpen an image w/out halos.


text: Same-sex marriage has been a controversial issue in France. Earlier in June, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Aryault announced [JURIST report] that laws legalizing marriage and adoptions for same-sex couples will be introduced. Last year the Constitutional Council [official website, in French] ruled [JURIST report] that the country's same-sex marriage ban does not violate the constitution. The council emphasized it may only interpret existing laws under the constitution, but that the legislature has the power to make new laws allowing gay marriage. The Court of Cassation [official website, in French], the country's highest court of appeals, ordered the Constitutional Council in November 2010 to rule on the constitutionality [JURIST report] of the law. The order was made after a gay French couple challenged the ban in a Reims court, saying it limited their personal freedoms.

Ewww I saw this on another thread. I hope to god they find a way to make it look prettier than this.
I think the iPhone 4 is gorgeous aside from how delicate the glass back is.
I agree with that. Plus it better not interfere with the antenna or there's going to be an uproar.
^^ eeeekk yuck
Just make the iPhone 5 same as 4 just thinner and antenna inside..the iPhone 4 glass front/back is sexy unlike other smart phones.
Didnt iPhone 2G have Aluminun back? So whenever you put your phone down on the table scratches are all over the phone. After a month phone looked like you went skiing with it.
I quite like it too and it has a A5 dual core well I have a semi just thinking about it lmao
I kind of like it except Apple wouldnt go back to the same design they once made.
From 2G to 3G big difference. From 3G and 3GS, 4G looked nothing like the two.
I like it. And yes they should bring back the aluminum design, the first gen iPhone was built like a tank.

Razor Edge sells one that has a flat back, instead of beveled, but they are out of stock Off to find somewhere else....
Here is another place: http://cnn.cn/shop/apple-iphone-c-25...9659aff3cf5599
I would like them to use carbon fiber for the back.
That aluminum is ugly.
So Apple want to combat the antenna problem of the iPhone 4s Steel Band by making the entire casing out of another radio blocking metal?
I hope that's not any way close to being the iPhone 5. Looks like an iPod touch... They should just keep the i4 design maybe fix the antenna design up a bit and add the aluminum back, or what ever happened to the liquid metal thing?? They should just toss liquid metal on the back for protection and with that A5 chip and again new antenna design and I'll gladly buy that one.
Yes! The design in this picture is far superior to the glass "Brick" that is the iPhone 4.
The iPod Touch 4 feels way better than the iPhone 4.
Go with the flat one man. The beveled one causes your camera to have a vignette affect on your pictures. I tried it.Sleek Metal Cover Replaces Glass iPhone 4 Backplate | Gadget Lab| Wired.com

Fall can be an intimidating time for walleye fans, many of whom throw up their hands at the challenges of transitional fish locations and feeding behavior. But it doesn't have to be. In fact, armed with the right game plan and tactics, you can catch hungry 'eyes night and day, throughout autumn.
Last fall, we outlined the secrets of NAFC friends Scott and Marty Glorvigen, who ply rivers in the pitch-black nights of the new moon (see "'Eyes Of Darkness,"). This time, we're bringing you double coverage—with the full moon night moves of Cabela's Masters Walleye Circuit competitor Mark Courts, coupled with cutting-edge daytime tactics from NAFC Fishing Advisory Council member Keith Kavajecz.
Moon Dance Fall is a time of opportunity for Courts, who fishes the MWC Central Division, as well as the PWT and FLW walleye tours. His latest accomplishment was a first-place finish at the PWT event last summer on South Dakota's resurgent Lake Oahe, where he trolled his way to a dramatic comeback victory against some of the planet's top walleye guns. The Oahe scenario included sweltering daytime temps topping 100, and deep fish scattered amongst flooded treetops.
When he's not competing, however, Courts favors fall's shallow-water night bite. "It's by far my favorite, and most productive walleye pattern," he says.
In Courts' home waters of central Minnesota, the bite holds through freeze-up, often in late November or early December, and it hinges on the three days before and following the full moon.
"I've found the first three days of the full moon are the best," he adds. "I definitely want to be out there when it's lit up." It is then, from moon rise deep into the night, that Courts' night moves trigger walleyes moving onto shallow structure to feed.
Key fishing areas include shallow rocks adjacent to daytime holding areas—often in close proximity to a drop-off or deep hole—as well as sand flats and weedbeds. Courts typically looks for areas where the bottom rises from 15 feet or deeper up to five feet. The key is finding areas where walleyes can waylay baitfish.
"If you can find current, such as where a tributary feeds into the lake, you may have a gold mine," Courts notes. "On one of my go-to full moon lakes, for example, walleyes stack up in the flow between a necked-down area between two basins. At night, they slide up into the shallows, and the bite is fantastic."
The beauty of the full moon pattern is that, depending on the lake, you can often tap it as easily in a battered pair of waders or bobbing float tube as you can from the casting deck of a 20-foot walleye rocket.
"It's a great time for wade-fishing," Courts grins. "It's a simple, deadly and fun way to fish."
Afoot or afloat, slip float rigs or crankbaits are solid choices. Courts favors cranks on light spinning tackle. "I spool 10/4 Berkley FireLine on a spinning reel and 7-foot, soft-tipped rod," he explains. "The rod still needs some backbone, though."
A variety of shallow-diving minnowbaits trigger fish. Courts relies heavily on No. 11 and 13 Rapala Original Floaters. Top colors include firetiger, black-and-gold and gold fluorescent red. Longline trolling is a great way to cover shallow water from your boat.
Casting is another option from the boat, tube or waders. "When casting, take the time to try different retrieves and figure out what the walleyes want that particular night," he says. "Sometimes a fast, erratic cadence triggers more strikes; other evenings, the fish like a slower, steadier pace."
Hit The BreaksLongtime NAFC Fishing Advisory Council member Keith Kavajecz takes a different track, targeting deep walleyes on steep drop-offs during the day.
"Think about where the fish were during summer, then find the closest sharp breaks," he advises. "Walleyes feed on these structures throughout much of the fall."
The key word here is "feed." Inactive walleyes may sulk suspended off the structure, say, 25 feet down over 40 feet of water, Kavajecz says. But when it's time to eat during daylight hours, they'll move onto the drop-offs to shadow schools of passing baitfish.
Early and late in the day are often prime times to fish structure. And as Courts outlined earlier, nighttime action on the tops of shallow rock reefs (and points) can be incredible. But Kavajecz warns not to overlook steep breaks when winds are blowing into them; such conditions can trigger a solid bite any time during the day.
Kavajecz's go-to method is live bait rigging. After carefully studying hydrographic maps to pinpoint likely hotspots, he motors over the structure, watching his sonar for fish hugging the bottom.
More now than ever, it's critical to keep a sharp eye on your electronics if you hope to spot fish. "It can be a challenge to recognize walleyes on sonar, when the fish are tight to a steep break," he cautions.
To aid in the search, Kavajecz recommends sonar units that offer a high vertical pixel count for optimum separation—that is, the ability to show fish that are tight to structure. "A color display is a huge help, too," he adds.
"You may only see a bump on an otherwise smooth taper. With a monochromatic screen, it's hard to tell what that is; but color makes it easier. For example, if you notice a bump that shows up as a reddening lump, almost like a pimple, on structure with otherwise uniform returns, there's a good chance it's a fish.
"When in doubt about a suspicious bump on bottom, I always fish it," he adds. "If it's a log, it's a log, but there still may be walleye around it."
A key point regarding Kavajecz's boat position is when he marks fish at a consistent depth on structure, say, 28 feet, he runs his rig at that depth, if not a bit shallower—in this case, at 25 feet.
"I always fish at or shallower than the depth the fish are holding, because the walleyes are generally facing up the structure," he explains.
Tools Of The Trade Kavajecz favors a 61/2- to 7-foot graphite rod with a slow taper. "It should be soft, so the walleyes don't feel you when they pick up the bait. But it still needs to be sensitive, so I choose a high-modulus blank, like IM-8 or HM-85. Sensitivity is a factor because keys to successful rigging include being able to feel the sinker tapping bottom, the actions of your bait, and changes in resistance when a fish grabs the minnow."
For this reason, Kavajecz spools up with a low-stretch line like Berkley's new FireLine Crystal, which he says transmits information better than stretchy nylon monofilaments, while offering near-invisibility other superlines can't match.
"Low-visibility line is important when you're rigging because you're moving so slow, the line spends a lot of time in front of the fish," he explains. "It's a totally different story than when you're trolling."
To balance sensitivity with stealth, he adds a mono leader. "You still want some stretch, for when the fish pick up the bait," he notes. "If there's too much resistance, or they feel you on the other end, it's over.
"Plus, your minnow can tell you a lot about what's going on down there," Kavajecz notes. "If it starts acting nervous and tugging erratically, there's a good chance there's a walleye eyeballing it."
When that happens, or when he marks fish on his sonar unit, Kavajecz often lets up on the trolling motor, hovering over the walleye until it takes the bait.
Two basic forms of rigging get the nod for steep-structure walleyes: one is a walking- or pencil-style sinker on a quick-change clevis and up to a 10-foot leader; the other is a sliding bottom bouncer rig, with a 4-foot tether. Bouncers are fished faster, which makes them better at covering water.
Minnows, including redtail chubs, creek chubs and fatheads, are top fall baits. Kavajecz impales fatheads on a size 4 Mustad UltraPoint live bait hook; bigger baits may require up to a 1/0. "With a 6- or 8-inch creek chub, I often add a size 8 Triple Grip treble as a stinger," he notes, adding, "Red is a good color for the lead hook; but not the stinger—you don't want the walleyes striking at the treble."
Bites often feel mushy, or like extra weight on the line. Sometimes, a big minnow can fool you into thinking a walleye has struck. No matter. When in doubt, set the hook, Kavcajecz says.
Actually, the hooksetting process also involves opening the reel's bail, and letting the fish take the bait—experiment with how much time it takes—then taking up slack and driving the steel home.
Fall Ahead Day or night, walleye fishing can be extremely rewarding throughout the fall. The key is not letting the change of seasons—as well as fish location and behavior—keep you from enjoying some of the year's best action.
There are currently no comments, be the first to post one.
NAFC staff and members have caught some big walleyes over the years—some even on video—but this trophy walleye video courtesy of PK Lures—takes top honors. The quantity and quality of fish caught during this segment is astounding. You've got to see it for yourself!
Sixty-seven lakes and reservoirs, in 19 states, hold specially tagged fish that could turn into cash or prizes for lucky anglers! Read on!
In many states, walleyes are protected by closed fishing seasons during the spawn, though border waters between states often remain open. Make sure you know the regulations where you fish, and if you do have the opportunity to target early-season 'eyes, this map will help you zero in on them.
Puzzled, I put my rod down, took a drink of water, and started up the motor to head to another flat. Then it hit me: tight-lipped fish often require ultra-finesse presentations. Why not drop-shot?

Starting with the most outstanding estate grown fruit and finishing with the selection of the best individual barrels of the resulting wine for final blending, Katnook Estate Odyssey Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with the most time consuming attention to detail. Winemaker Wayne Stehbens says that when making Odyssey, his greatest challenge as a winemaker, is to "not only capture the essence of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon but to transcend it, thereby creating a wine which will hold its own alongside the very best Cabernets in the world."
The 1997 vintage Coonawarra began with above average temperatures and a very dry summer. In contrast, March and April temperatures fell to well below average, which slowed grape maturities to the extent that harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon was delayed for two weeks. The fruit was harvested near optimum flavours producing deeply coloured wines that have good varietal definition, rich generous flavours with lingering tannins. A vintage that is comparable among the best and will cellar for 15 to 20 years.
Katnook Estate is one of the most esteemed domains in Australia's premier red wine district, Coonawarra. Its vineyards, planted in prime Terra Rossa soil, span 330 hectares in the heart of this comparatively small and remote region in the south east corner of South Australia.

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Re: Mr. Wilkes' letter (whom, for sake of full disclosure, I consider a dear friend) in which he took understandable umbrage at my remarks about My Lai and Haditha, I am truly sorry my words were understood the way he did. He states, "I am a combat veteran of the U.S. military. Our record is not shameful, it is exemplary and every American should be proud," and I could not agree more. The men and women who risked (and still do) their lives or actually gave their lives are, in my mind, forever enshrined in the roles of the ultimate American heroes, as people who did the hardest thing any person can ever be called on to do — fight and risk death and injury for our country. I certainly never meant to cast dispersions of any kind on the U.S. military as whole. Having said that, it is a sad but undeniable fact that My Lai and Haditha happened — unforgivable mass murders carried out by U.S. soldiers — aberrations, very uncharacteristic of the glorious and proud history of our armed forces when viewed in totality. Indeed, I'm sure many of the thousands of U.S. soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan died as the result of policies of restraint intended to minimize civilian deaths. The IDF in its past history also has some events for which it should be ashamed, in 1948 and later years. But, to the best of my knowledge, it has been many decades since any IDF unit carried out mass murders, and certainly no such thing happened in "Cast Lead." As such, the IDF has, in my opinion, perhaps the "cleanest" record of any modern army facing actual combat conditions, at least in the last two or three decades, completely opposite of the impression Ed Mast's group tried to convey ("Provocative bus ads go to highest levels of county government," Dec. 24). So, again, I apologize to my fried Robert and any one else who thought I meant to belittle the U.S. Armed Forces. I am very proud of both the U.S. Armed Forces, and of the Israel Defense Forces, and Americans and Israelis are all fortunate to be so well served by their fighting men and women. And to my friend Robert, thank you a thousand times over for your sacrifices and your service.

If Barack Obama wins the Presidency--which is ever more likely since he's leading in virtually all the polls--some credit must go to his campaign's embrace of new-fangled communication methods. Specifically, social networking. During a panel called "One Month to Go: The Road to the White House" at Fortune's recent Most Powerful Women Summit, Penny Pritzker, Obama's finance chair, talked about how his campaign had a scant 20,000 names early on, when Hillary Clinton's campaign had already collected some 250,000 names. "We took a page from Silicon Valley," Pritzker said. "We thought, What can we do to harness social networking? Today we have over 5 million names."
My colleague Nina Easton, who is Fortune's Washington editor, noted during the discussion that in those early campaign days, anyone who went to an Obama rally was besieged by people asking them to "fill out this card" so the campaign could collect e-mail addresses. Pritzker explained, "All we asked people to do was sign up. If you sign up, we can communicate with you. That helped us gather more than 2.1 million volunteers -- and we use the social network for fundraising as well."
Indeed, Time national political correspondent Karen Tumulty noted that on BarackObama.com, you can set up your own personal Barack Obama page and do fundraising from it. "Because it's about YOU," blares the headline on the Obama campaign's My.BarackObama.com page.
Citigroup (C) chief marketing officer Lisa Caputo, who had been Hillary Clinton's press secretary during the Clinton Administration, led the discussion at the Summit. Also on the panel: former eBay (EBAY) CEO Meg Whitman, who is co-chair of the McCain campaign. If McCain loses on November 4, Whitman looks likely to run for Governor of California in 2010--and as I said on Postcards on Wednesday, judging by the votes of Fortune's Most Powerful Women at least, she and Obama both have decent odds.

Hot/cold water cross-overs (please help me)
I am doing a report and looking for info on hot cold water cross overs or cross connections, and what the installation of check valves do in these cases. This work is regarding a stores plumbing system. If you have any information please assist me . . . I am new to plumbing!
Example: The water in a sink was not hot enough or no hot water at all. To fix the issue a technician adjusted the lines and found a cross connection. This was adjusted and fixed the problem |

Hot/cold water cross-overs (please help me)
The term cross connection usually refers to the connection of a lawn sprinkler or soda machine (for example) into the supply plumbing of a business or residence. Many jurisdictions require cross connection permits and inspections of the backflow devices to ensure that backwash or foreign chemicals don't pollute the rest of the home or business' water supply plumbing.
I think you're mixing terms. You refer to the water not being hot at all, and the plumber finding a "cross connection." That sounds more symptomatic of a "CROSSED" connection...Hot and cold lines somehow reversed or blended somewhere in the plumbing system. From my experience a backcheck device is not something that would create the problem you're describing. They're typically installed right by the device they serve, and you might have several in a building. |

- 2008
In the 2008 congressional general election, he defeated his Democratic opponent, State Senator David Boswell, for the right to succeed the retiring Republican U.S. Representative Ron Lewis. Lewis announced his retirement on the last day for candidates to file for the seat in 2008, in hopes of steering the Republican nomination to his chief of staff, Daniel London. Guthrie, however, filed his papers and defeated London for the party nomination.
This set up the closest race in the 2nd in 14 years. While Democrats have a large advantage in registration, they are very conservative on social issues, a major reason Lewis had been able to hold onto the district with little trouble since winning it in a 1994 special election. Ultimately, Guthrie prevailed by 15,500 votes, mostly on the strength of rural voters. Guthrie may have been boosted by voters being more motivated to come to the polls due to the Presidential election and the Senate election that were held at the same time. Republican candidate John McCain carried the district with 60 percent of the vote and won all but one county entirely within the district. The incumbent Republican Senator Mitch McConnell also carried the 2nd district easily.
- 2010
The 2nd reverted to form in 2010, and Guthrie defeated Democrat Ed Marksberry by a large margin.
- 2012
Guthrie won reelection in 2012 with over 64% of the vote.
In December 2013, Suzanne Miles, Guthrie's district representative in Owensboro, won a special election to the 7th District seat in the Kentucky House of Representatives. She became the 46th Republican member of the chamber, the highest since 1921.[4]
Based on a questionnaire and the votes that the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund considered to be the most important in 1998, they assigned Representative Guthrie a grade of B.[5] He has since received A's from the NRA and various other Second Amendment rights advocacy groups. In 2011, Guthrie voted for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 as part of a controversial provision that allows the government and the military to indefinitely detain American citizens and others without trial.[6] In July 2013, Guthrie voted against the move to defund the National Security Agency due to the alleged privacy violations reported by whistleblower Edward Snowden.[7]
Guthrie is not particularly affiliated with the Tea Party movement and unlike the majority of members of his own party voted to end the United States federal government shutdown of 2013.[8]
Committee assignments[edit]
Personal life[edit]
With his family, Guthrie attends the Lehman Avenue Church of Christ in Bowling Green, Kentucky, as reported by the Christian Chronicle; Michael Greene, minister of the Lehman Avenue congregation, said that he has no doubt "Guthrie's faith will play a positive role" in representation of the 2nd district.[9]

"It wouldn't have taken much to just pop over, would it?"
John Paul Jones

Count Basie
"Certain people want to see me solely as a pop act, but there are many different sides to Christina Aguilera besides the pop girl."
Christina Aguilera
"All of us, whether or not we are warriors, have a cubic centimeter of chance that pops out in front of our eyes from time to time. The difference between the average person and a warrior is that the warrior is aware of this and stays alert, deliberately waiting, so that when this cubic centimeter of chance pops out, it is picked up."

Update (2012.12.21): I've been asked to re-start my petition in light of the Newtown school shooting. I'm not promoting it a whole lot, but a few on Twitter are spending time trying to draw more signatures; they wanted my words so I gladly contributed them.
All eyes are once again on Colorado in the wake of a devastating mass shooting.
We experienced it 13 years ago when the shootings at Columbine High School shocked the nation. So infamous, one need only say "Columbine" and the reference is instantly recognized as the death, destruction, and loss of innocence of April 20th, 1999. I watched it unfold an hour away – at a safe distance, though it hit too close to home – as a junior high school student in Greeley, Colo., my hometown on the eastern plains.
Once again are we experiencing a media circus. This time, we have social media to help fill the need for constantly knowing what is going on. Initially, social media helped spread the news faster and inform the world about breaking developments. The amazing versatility of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. provided exactly the tools we needed.
Now it's in extreme overload. And so are the media, particularly local and cable television networks. It's wall-to-wall coverage and it is non-stop. Non-stop.
It's dangerous to sensationalize mass murder. We know this from experience; serial killers and domestic terrorists have expressed keen interest in publicity as a reward for their heinous acts. Yet we fall into the trap every single time and our morbid curiosities get the best of us, allowing media outlets to capitalize on our hunger for 24/7, up-to-the-minute news.
We reward the suspects and wanna-be killers who know that the attention they crave will come to them if they can accomplish mass casualties.
And we know this, yet we don't stop.
I'm passionate about journalism, journalistic ethics, media studies, and all of the pertinent issues we overlook so often, though news media are a part of our daily lives. This is our opportunity to stop a problem in journalism and use the extreme coverage of this shocking attack to demonstrate why sensationalized news coverage hurts the survivors of tragedy and gives power to the antagonist.
That's why I created a petition to ask the Denver television media to change the way it is covering the theater shooting. I believe that if we start at the very nearest media sources – the most malleable, too, as local news is limited yet flexible in ways national media are not – that we can start a trend and present a discussion, nationwide, about the ways in which we disclose the situation to the American public.
No, it's not about halting news coverage. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
What we do now – this onslaught of the most intimate details of a suspect, the family, the motives, the every move, the every possible thought – is a gigantic distraction from the story as it progresses. Of course we want to know who is responsible, and yes it is legitimate to demand a motive; but to pound it into our brains, to effectively give the tragedy's instigator top billing in the history books over the heroes of the story? The suspect does not deserve the glory. We cannot afford to encourage the copycats and other sick individuals who are undoubtedly inspired by such abominable violence.
We must weed out the unnecessary; we need to lose the drama that glues us all to the television but pains the families for whom it is very real. We can't lose focus of the real goals: to help the survivors survive, to recognize the real heroes, and to put justice where justice belongs. When we reward the bad guy, we are not doing justice to those who are suffering; we're failing the people who need us the most.
Journalists are failing the victims. And many of them are exploiting them, too.
It's not too late to change it. It's not too late to be subtle and quick and appropriate when reporting the suspect's name and motives. It's not too late to exclude the irrelevant details – the names of his parents or the repetition of his sick message – in order to inform, but nothing more. It's not too late to put the focus on what we need to do to prevent these killings, nurture the wounded, and better ourselves.
If you agree with me, please – sign the petition – I implore you. Tell the media in my home state that they have a golden opportunity. Tell them that it's imperative and that they have the power to lead us into a new age of integrity for journalism. Maybe we can move this further if we start with Denver.
Yeah, I know. It sounds dramatic. But it is. And it's important to me – but it is especially important and to the survivors of the Aurora tragedy and for the memory of those we have lost. Sign the petition for them.

Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser decided to do something about the frustration of many in the area who believed the famous ground hog who predicted an early spring last month.
With the snow flying today and more in forecast for the weekend, Gmoser imposed the death penalty on Punxsutawney Phil for "misrepresentation of early spring."
The direct indictment distributed by email says: "On or about February 2, 2013, at Gobbler's Knob, Punxsutawney Phil did purposely, and with prior calculation and design, cause the people to believe that Spring would come early."
Contrary to the Groundhog Day report, a snowstorm and record low temperatures have been predicted to continue in the near future. That, according to Gmoser's news release, constitutes the offense of "misrepresentation of early spring, a Unclassified Felony, and against the peace and dignity of the State Of Ohio."
Gmoser laughed Thursday, saying he didn't care if he had no jurisdiction in Pennsylvania, he said he was going to seek extradition.

Ray Ban Rocks
July 11, 2013
I love these sunglasses so much, these are my second pair. I scratched my first pair while mowing. They have a perfect wrap and fit. Plastic sunglasses squeeze my head and cause headaches, but I have never had a headache even after wearing these glasses for 12 hours.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueRay-Ban Sunglasses
March 27, 2011
Glasses are extremely light and fit well. I like the brown poloarized lenses as they are soothing to the eyes especially when there is glare. They seem well made. The only negative is the case is large and not easy to easily carry around. I am using an older Serengetti case to store them in. All in all , a very good product.

Cold Weather Safety: With the impending cold weather and dangerous wind chills, here are few important reminders for staying safe. Wear multiple layers of loose-fitting, lightweight and warm clothing. Be sure to wear a hat, gloves and scarf to protect exposed skin from frostbite. Avoid wide-open spaces and stay indoors when possible
Increasing clouds through Sunday night, less breezy and cold. Lows in the mid to upper teens. Can't rule out a stray flurry.
Temperatures struggle to rise on Monday as a blustery northwesterly wind continues to filter much colder air into the region. Afternoon highs expected near 20 degrees, with winds increasing through the day to speeds between 15-20mph, wind chills will be in the single digits. Mostly cloudy skies to start Monday clear through the evening opening the door for a drop in temperatures overnight. The lowest expected wind chill values will be recorded Monday night and Tuesday morning roughly 10-15 degrees below zero.
Mostly sunny skies on Tuesday, highs will reach only into the lower teens with wind chills below zero. Winds will subside Tuesday night and shift to a more southerly flow allowing temperatures to be better on Wednesday, but still below average in the lower 20s.
Could see a few flurries on Wednesday under partly cloudy skies. More clouds on Thursday with highs approaching 30 degrees.
The next chance for significant precipitation arrives late Thursday. This is still a few days away, but as of now it appears the precipitation will start as light snow changing to freezing rain with rain then overnight and ending as light snow early Friday. Approximately a half inch of rain is possible, and any snow that falls will likely not accumulate.
You could see some slippery or icy roadways to start Friday. Mostly cloudy and cold on Friday in the lower to mid-20s.
A weather note: Usually highs reach in the mid-30s, so temperatures will be below average for the next five days, and through next weekend.
Cold Weather Safety:
With the impending cold weather and dangerous wind chills, here are few tips for staying safe. First, wear multiple layers of loose-fitting, lightweight and warm clothing. Be sure to wear a hat, gloves and scarf to protect exposed skin from frostbite. Second, avoid wide-open spaces and stay indoors if possible

Oven Industries announces a new temperature controller for embedded applications.
Mechanicsburg, PA (PRWEB) February 06, 2014
Oven Industries 5R7-001 temperature controller creates a seamless transition between heating and cooling devices, as it serves as the commander of thermoelectric modules.
With a bi-directional or unidirectional H-bridge configuration, the temperature controller has many benefits. The included, user-friendly PC software makes it quick and simple for users to change any temperature control configurations, which eliminates signal interference or errant signals.
The software also enables the temperature controller to operate as a stand-alone unit. A computer can also be connected to the device, for retrieving data. The 5R7-001 offers temperature setting and control through the remote potentiometer and the optional display.
Delivering a load current of .1 to 25 Amps, the controller has several other features that make it appealing, including being RoHS compliant, allowing for a set temperature range of -40 to 250 degrees Celsius, having a large program memory space for customization, being PC programmable and having 0-36 VDC output using a split power supply system.
