Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's outgoing president, has asked to come to the US.
"There's going to be a pretty vigorous debate within the administration, within policy circles, because what message does this send to the protesters in Yemen who think that President Saleh should be prosecuted and not necessarily given refuge in a New York hospital?"
- Andrew Axum, a Middle East analyst
Saleh has ruled Yemen for 33-years and Barack Obama, the US president, like his predecessor George Bush, regards him as a critical ally in the fight against al-Qaeda.But thousands of Yemenis have been protesting for months calling for Saleh to step down and hundreds have been killed by government security forces.In November, Saleh signed an agreement in Saudi Arabia, according to which he pledged to resign after next year's elections. In return, he was promised immunity from prosecution for crimes such as the killing of protesters during his rule.
But going forward, there are several issues for the US in Yemen.
Firstly, there is the ongoing fight against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Penninsula (AQAP), which the US calls a great threat to American security. It was in Yemen that accused al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki became the first US citizen to be killed in a CIA drone strike. Another issue is the Yemeni government's ongoing struggle against the Houthi fighters in the north. Both, Saleh and the Saudi government accuse Iran of supporting the Houthis - a charge denied by the fighters as well as Tehran.
"The motivation is to distance Saleh from political developments in Yemen, to allow them to proceed in a more positive direction, and to get through this critical period between now and the elections. And the argument is if you get Saleh into the United States, that will facilitate that transition."
- Edmond Hull, a former US ambassador to Yemen
And as elsewhere in the region, the question that remains for Washington is: Will a truly democratic government give the US permission to continue its covert war against its perceived enemies, most notably its campaign of drone strikes in Yemen?Although Saleh was injured in a rocket attack in June and he is still recovering from his wounds, he denied that was the reason for wanting to travel to the US. So if Saleh travels to the US, would it be seen as White House support for a despot with blood on his hands? And what is the future of US policy in Yemen? Inside Story Americas discusses with guests: Abdullah Al-Saidi, Yemen's former ambassador to the United Nations and a senior fellow at the International Peace Institute; Edmond Hull, a former US ambassador to Yemen and author of a book on al-Qaeda in Yemen; and Andrew Exum, a Middle East analyst and blogger and a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security.
"I will go to the United States. Not for treatment, because I'm fine, but to get away from attention, cameras, and allow the unity government to prepare properly for elections. I want to be away for the elections, because whether it fails or succeeds people may blame the president."
Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemeni president

Im looking to replace the brakes on my sierra but they sell regular brakes and heavy duty suspension brakes. How do I know if my truck is equipped with the heavy duty suspension? It's a 91 gmc c1500 sierra sle

its all comes down to what you wanna pay
does 1991 have ABS?Gas was $1.83 when Obama took office.....
06-17-2013, 10:51 AM #3Heavy duty suspension. Not brake pads. They put heavy duty suspensions on a few trucks that means you have to get different parts when it comes to brakes, wheel bearing/hub assemblies, etc. for some reason, I can't remember how to find out which one you've got but I'd say pull the old pads off and take them in. Compare to the hd and standard susp. brakes.

Select Route:
DescriptionThis hidden gem is one of the best Flatiron climbs. Solid rock and a soaring arete that is quite consistent at the grade, make for a great scramble. This climb is long, and if done roped is probably at least 8 pitches. It is quite similar in difficulty to the standard E Face route on the Third Flatiron and makes for a great solo outing. Unlike the 3rd Flatiron, however, there is no fixed gear. NOTE: This climb falls within the Falcon closure and is usually closed from Feb 1 to July 31. ProtectionStandard Flatiron rack (very light rack).

SOURCE Total Call International
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Total Call International, Inc. ("Total Call"), announced that it has reached a settlement with plaintiffs in a nationwide class action lawsuit related to its sale of prepaid calling cards and prepaid calling services. In the lawsuit, plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that Total Call distributed or sold prepaid calling cards and prepaid calling services to consumers without fully disclosing the applicable rates and fees associated with those cards and services. As part of the settlement, Total Call denies any wrongdoing or liability. The parties agreed to the settlement to avoid further costs and uncertainties related to litigation.
The class action, Flores et al. v. Total Call International, Inc. et al., Case No. BC492907, remains pending before the Superior Court for the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District until the settlement agreement is given final approval by the Court. The settlement affects consumers who purchased a Total Call prepaid calling card or prepaid calling service in the United States at any time between September 28, 2007 and November 27, 2013. The settlement will provide refund Personal Identification Numbers ("PINs") to those who either submit proof of purchase or a PIN of an eligible prepaid calling card/calling service or submit a signed statement declaring that they were the purchaser of an eligible Total Call calling card or prepaid calling service. Total Call agreed to provide refund PINs worth up to $600,000 to eligible consumers of Total Call prepaid calling cards and prepaid calling services. Eligible consumers are entitled to a refund PIN with a value of $1.50 for domestic calls at $0.10 per minute and international calls to certain destinations at $0.25 or $0.50 per minute. Rates are available at www.totalcallusa.com/settlement.
Members of the settlement class can submit a claim by following instructions at 855-640-0503, at Total Call 's website (www.totalcallusa.com/settlement), or at the website of plaintiffs' counsel (www.c2lawgroup.com). Those requesting a refund PIN will be required to provide certain identification information and prepaid calling card/calling service information. A list of eligible Total Call prepaid calling cards and prepaid calling services can be found at www.totalcallusa.com/settlement. Total Call will then determine whether the member of the settlement class is eligible for a refund based on confirmation of the information provided and remaining funds in the pool. If the settlement receives final approval by the Court, Total Call will provide such eligible members of the settlement class with a refund PIN; a claimant may not receive more than 10 refund PINs.
Members of the settlement class can also object to or be excluded from the settlement if they adhere to the specific protocols by February 3, 2014. Information about objecting to or being excluded from the class can be found by calling 855-640-0503 or by visiting www.totalcallusa.com/settlement.
The plaintiffs in Flores et al. v. Total Call International, Inc. et al. are represented by Plaintiffs' Counsel, Christopher Rudd of C2 Law Group, P.C.

I grew up on the x-books and batman the animated series, but am fond of those muties. DC's new 52 was a great launch pad into their universe, which I always felt was soo complex and kinda convoluted previously, but I kinda dig their superhero titles these days and cant really place exactly why. Vertigo's Sandman series is my favorite ever. I dunno. I love Nolan's Dark Knight universe and think the rest of DC's characters would have trouble translating to screen, but feel like I would've said the same thing about the individual Avenger characters 5 yeas ago, so who knows.
Having written that, gun to my head I think I say Marvel.

(RAY.see.noh or ruh.SEE.noh)
A horse racing track that also includes slot machines, video gambling terminals, or other casino features.
Example Citation:
Here's how racinos work, and why fans, breeders, and track owners like the idea: Racetracks install slots, generally thousands at a time, on-site. Racing fans, presumably between races, spend a few dollars on the slots. The income made by the track, after sizable payouts to the state and the lottery system, is funneled back in the form of bigger purses for each race. The difference between a racino-funded purse and one without slot money can be as much as $ 175,000.
Heather Timmons, "Can slot machines rescue racing?," Business Week, December 2, 2002
Heather Timmons, "Can slot machines rescue racing?," Business Week, December 2, 2002
Earliest Citation:
"There's no place in the world where casinos and pari-mutuel racing have ever coexisted, but that doesn't mean we can't!" says Richard L. Duchossois, who poured $ 200 million of his own money into rebuilding Arlington Park, a palace of a racetrack outside Chicago, but who now expects to take a 35% hit in his handle this season. Last fall a giant floating casino called the Grand Victoriawith 977 slot machines, 39 blackjack tables, seven roulette wheels, eight craps tables and room enough for 1,736 peopleopened for business on the Fox River in Elgin, just 12 miles from Arlington's front door.
Duchossois beseeched the state legislature for the right to open a casino, and he threatened to padlock his doors this year when it refused. He backed off that dime, but only after the state allowed him to cut his 1995 racing dates, and hence his losses, from 131 days to 55. Still hinting darkly that this might be Arlington's final year unless he can get relief to compete with the boat, Duchossois intends to continue his quest for a hybrid creation that he calls a racino. "Casino and racing can coexist," he says. "If "they can't, the racing and breeding industry is going to self-destruct."

Change bus route for Gunn students living at Stanford
Original post made by Sue Klapholz on Jun 23, 2006
Unsafe driving practices abound, with parents dropping students off along busy Arastradero Road or on the west side of Miranda Avenue (where students jaywalk through traffic to access Gunn). The congestion creates pollution, danger for bicyclists and pedestrians, and stress.
Currently, students from the Stanford campus residential area do not have PAUSD-provided (or any other) bus service to Gunn. For several years I have been part of a group of parents who have worked together to explore ways to obtain bus service for these students.
A proposal to reconfigure the J bus route is the result of this effort. The Nixon, Terman and Gunn PTAs all support busing for Stanford-area students to Gunn.
We hope the school district will come "on board" and work with us to make bus service for Stanford-area students a reality.
on Jul 10, 2006 at 9:49 am
So how about biking to school? It is flat here, limited rain and good bike paths. This would help alliviate traffic congestion and also make these close to being adults healthier (biking vs driving) and self reliant.
on Sep 20, 2007 at 3:44 pm
How about more buses to get our students to school. Instead of rte 88 being lost, lets get more buses for everyone. And why should Stanford resident students get better treatment that PA resisdents?
We all want to get our kids to school by public transport.
on Sep 20, 2007 at 3:58 pm
I've seen that corner and it is a little crazy at drop off time.
There may be good reasons to provide a bus ( don't really know what the overall policy thinking is ), but you don't need busses to address the problem above. A couple cops, ticket books in hand, standing there a couple days a week for a few weeks will go a long ways to change unsafe/illegal behaviors and getting people to rethink how they do things.
Carrots are nice; sticks are also necessary and appropriate.

Hanahan teams have different levels of experience
Hanahan's diamond squads are on different ends of the spectrum as far as having proven varsity talent on the field this season.
The baseball team was hit hard by graduation, losing all but one starter. The lone starter back is junior shortstop Seth Lancaster, a commitment to South Carolina. Last season, he batted .345 with 28 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He had eight doubles, two triples and one home run.
"We're extremely young but we're not going to use that as an excuse," HHS coach Brian Mitchell said. "These guys are just going to have to grow up quickly. We believe they're capable of playing good ball. The biggest thing is going to be consistency."
Lancaster could also pitch some but they prefer to keep him in the middle of the defense. The team's starting pitchers are southpaw Collin Strimpfel, righty Dalton Pate, righty Cameron Maze and southpaw Brandon Caddell.
The Hawks lost to Pinewood Prep on Friday night to cap the first week of the regular season with a 1-2 mark.
The Hawkettes softball team has five returning starters. Everybody up the middle has experience.
Catcher Brittany Hines, pitcher Megan Wright, second baseman Kayla Dyson, shortstop Emma Scharett and centerfielder Abby Kennedy are all returning starters. They also bring back Alli Adams at designated hitters.
"We're pretty deep," HHS coach Katrina Moffett said. "We've got a lot of players that are really good. Every single player has played multiple games this season."
The Hawkettes concluded the first week of the season with a 3-0 record, beating Goose Creek 12-8 on Friday. HHS also defeated Fort Dorchester and Ashley Ridge last week.

Voting at the Eurovision Song Contest
There have been many varied voting systems at the Eurovision Song Contest. Currently, the winner of the contest is selected by means of a positional voting system. Each country ranks all the entries, with twelve points given to the first choice, ten points to second, and from eight down to one point for third to tenth place, with the point values decreasing respectively. Countries are not allowed to vote for themselves.
The current method for ranking entries is a 50/50 combination of both telephone vote and the votes of juries made up of music professionals.[1] It was first used in the final of 2009 edition, and extended the next year to semifinals.
In the past, small demographically-balanced juries made up of ordinary people were used to rank the entries. After the widespread implementation of telephone vote in 1998, juries were only used in case of televoting malfunctions or a weak telephone system. In 2003, Eircom's telephone polls system ceased to operate normally; the Irish broadcaster, RTÉ, did not receive the votes on time and instead used the votes of a panel of judges.[2] In the first years of the telephone vote, the lines were opened for a short period after the performance of the final song. This was implemented during the 2010 contest, thus allowing viewers to vote during the performances, however this ruling was reverted back for the 2012 contest.
The 1956 Contest did not have regional voting. The BBC had used the idea of contacting regional juries by telephone in their national competition to choose their 1956 song. The EBU later adopted the idea of contacting the international juries by telephone, and was used from the next contest, and used until 1993. In 1994, the Contest saw the first satellite link-up to juries.
For the announcement of the votes, the presenters of the Contest connect by satellite to each country in turn, inviting the spokesperson to read out that country's votes in French or English. Originally, the presenters would then repeat the votes in both languages, but since 2004, due to time constraints, the votes have only translated from English to French and vice-versa instead of repeating the votes in their original language. To offset the extension to voting time caused by the increased number of participating countries, from the 2006 Contest onwards, each country's one- to seven-point votes have been added automatically to the scoreboard as that country's spokesperson was introduced, with only the eight-, ten- and twelve-point scores being read out. The scoreboard displays the number of points each country has received and, since 2008, a progress bar indicating the number of countries that have voted.
In the event of a tie for first place and for other places after all the points have been announced, there is a tie-break procedure. It was realized that a tie-break procedure need be predetermined following the 1969 Contest, where France, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom tied for first place. Since no tie-breaking system had been previously decided, it was determined that all four countries be jointly awarded the title. In protest, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Portugal did not participate the following year.
The current tie-breaking rule is that, in the event that two or more countries tie for first place and for other places the song that received points from the greater number of countries is the winner. This system is sometimes called the "count-back". If there is still a tie, the second tie-breaker is to count the number of countries who assigned twelve points to each entry in the tie. Tie-breaks continue with ten points, eight points, and so on until the tie is resolved.
In 1991, the tie-break procedure was put into action when Sweden and France had both scored 146 points at the end of voting. At the time, the tie-break rule was slightly different: the first tie-break rule (the country voted for by the most other countries wins) was not yet in use. Both Sweden and France had received the maximum of twelve points four times. Only when the number of ten-point scores had been counted could Sweden, represented by Carola with the song "Fångad av en stormvind", claim its third victory, having received five ten-point scores against France's two. Thus, the French song, "Le Dernier qui a parlé..." performed by Amina, came second with the smallest ever losing margin.
Nul points[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2008) |
Since each of the participating countries casts a series of preference votes, under the current scoring system it is rare that a song fails to receive any votes at all. Under the modern rules this means that the song failed to make the top ten most popular songs in any country.
Under the second-most-used scoring system, however (see below), jurors gave points individually and only to their single favourite song, a system which might be expected to result in songs regularly not being awarded any points. Even so, it was not until 1967 that that occurred under that scoring system—the seventh year of its operation.
When it does happen, it is often referred to in the British populist media as nul points (pronounced as if it were French, although the phrase is meaningless in French). In fact the phrase nul points is never actually read out during the presentation of the Contest. French for "no points" is pas de point and zéro point, and none of these phrases are used in the contest as no-point scores are not announced by the presenters.
Entries which received no points, since the introduction of the current scoring system in 1975 are as follows:
- In 1978, Norway's "Mil etter mil" by Jahn Teigen.
- In 1981, Norway's "Aldri i livet" by Finn Kalvik.
- In 1982, Finland's "Nuku pommiin" by Kojo.
- In 1983, two entries: Turkey's "Opera" by Çetin Alp and The Short Waves and Spain's "¿Quién maneja mi barca?" by Remedios Amaya.
- In 1987, Turkey's "Şarkım Sevgi Üstüne" by Seyyal Taner and Grup Locomotif.
- In 1988, Austria's "Lisa Mona Lisa" by Wilfried.
- In 1989, Iceland's "Það sem enginn sér" by Daníel Ágúst.
- In 1991, Austria's "Venedig im Regen" by Thomas Forstner.
- In 1994, Lithuania's "Lopšinė mylimai" by Ovidijus Vyšniauskas.
- In 1997, two entries: Norway's "San Francisco" by Tor Endresen and Portugal's "Antes do adeus" by Célia Lawson.
- In 1998, Switzerland's "Lass' ihn" by Gunvor.
- In 2003, United Kingdom's "Cry Baby" by Jemini.
- In the 2004 semi-final, Switzerland's "Celebrate" by Piero & The MusicStars
- In the first 2009 semi-final, Czech Republic's "Aven Romale" by Gypsy.cz.
In his book Nul Points, comic writer Tim Moore interviews the first twelve of these performers (he wrote the book before 2009, and only counted artists who received no points in the main contest, thus ignoring semi-finalist Piero) to find out if their Eurovision score was the end of their music career or just the beginning.
Since the creation of a semi-final in 2004 and two semi-finals in 2008, more than thirty countries vote each night - even the countries eliminated or already qualified. Thus occurrences of scoring no points become rarer; it would require a song to place less than tenth in every country and in both jury and televote. In the 2004 semi-final, Switzerland's "Celebrate" by Piero Esteriore & The MusicStars received no points, but only 32 countries out of 36 voted, and in the first 2009 semifinal, where only 20 countries voted, Czech Republic's "Aven Romale" by Gypsy.cz received no points.
In 2003, following the UK's first Zero Score, an online poll voted on the Zero pointers to date with Spain's Remedios Amaya (1983) winning the poll as the song that least deserved a zero. Austria's Wilfried from 1988 ended up last in the Poll taking the wooden spoon as the song that best deserved zero.[3]
There were no nul points in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest because All countries get 12 points from start.
Regional block voting[edit]
Statistical analysis of the results between 2001 and 2005 suggests the occurrence of regional block voting;[4] it is a matter of debate whether it is primarily explained by conscious political alliances or by a tendency for culturally close countries to have similar musical tastes.[5] Historically, the United Kingdom and France would exchange points at an average of 6.5 points per contest, and the United Kingdom has on many occasions had such a relationship with Ireland. Several countries can be organised into voting blocks which regularly award each other high points:[4]
- Greece and Cyprus;
- Turkey and Azerbaijan;
- Ireland and the United Kingdom;
- The Netherlands and Belgium;
- Andorra, Portugal and Spain;
- Nordic states: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland;
- Baltic states: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania;
- Romania and Moldova, acting as a bridge between the Balkan and Warsaw Pact states;
- Balkan countries:
- Macedonia and Albania;
- A core contingent of former Yugoslavian countries, most notably Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro, Macedonia, and Croatia;
- Former Warsaw Pact countries of Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Moldova;
Bjørn Erichsen, former director of Eurovision TV, disagrees with the assertion that regional block voting significantly affects the outcome of the contest, arguing that Russia's first victory in 2008 was only possible with votes from thirty-eight of the participating countries.[6]
Voting systems[edit]
Year | Points | Voting System |
1956 | 2 points | Two jury members from each country award two points to their favourite song. |
1957-1961, 1967-1969 | 1 - 10 points | Ten jury members per country had ten points to give to their favourite songs. |
1962 | 3, 2 and 1 points | Ten Jury members per country could give points to their three favourite songs. |
1963 | 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points | Twenty jury members per country could give points to their five favourite songs. |
1964-1966 | 5, 3 and 1 points | Ten jury members per country could give points to their three favourite songs. |
1970, 1974 | 1 - 10 points | All countries had ten jury members that had ten points to award to their favourite songs. A tie break round was introduced in the event of a tie. |
1971-1973 | 2 - 10 points | Two jury members (one aged between 16 to 25 and the other aged 25 to 55 years old) had to rate every song between one to five points. |
1975-1996 | 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points | All countries had at least one jury member that would award points to their top ten songs. |
1997-2003 | Some countries had jury members and some countries used televote to decide which songs would get points. | |
2004-2008 | All countries used televoting to decide which songs would receive points. | |
2009–Present | All countries votes were decided by a 50/50 combination of jury and televoting. |
The most-used voting system other than the current one was that used for the 1969 contest. This system had been used between 1957 and 1961, and later between 1967 and 1969. Ten jurors in each country each gave a single vote to their favourite song. In 1969 this resulted in four countries tying for first place (UK, Netherlands, France, and Spain), and there was no tie-break procedure. A "second round" voting in the event of a tie was introduced to this system in 1970.
Between 1962 and 1966, a voting system closer to the current system was used. In 1962 each country awarded its top three one, two and three points; in 1963 the top five were awarded one, two, three, four and five points, and from 1964 until 1966, each country awarded its top three one, three and five points. With the latter system, there was an additional rule that each country could choose not to give points to three countries, but award points to two countries (giving one a three and the other a six). In 1965 Belgium awarded the United Kingdom six, and Italy three points. The system also permitted a country to give a single award of 9 points, but it never happened.
The 1971, 1972, and 1973 contests saw the jurors "in vision" for the first time. Each country was represented by two jurors - one older than 25 and one younger, with at least ten years' difference in their ages. Each juror gave a minimum of one point and a maximum of five points for each song. In 1974 the previous system of ten jurors was used, and the following year the current system was introduced. Spokespeople were next seen on screen in 1994 by satellite link up to the venue.
The 2004 contest was the first time there would be a semi final at the Eurovision Song Contest, but this saw a slight change in the way of voting compared to previous years. For the first time, countries that did not qualify from the Semi Final would still be allowed to cast votes in the Grand Final. This resulted in Ukraine's Ruslana coming first with a record 280 points. If the voting had been the same as the voting conducted between 1956 to 2003, where only finalist countries could vote, then Serbia and Montenegro's Željko Joksimović would have won the 2004 contest with 190 points - with a 15 point lead over second place Ruslana, who would have scored 175 points. To date, non-qualifying countries are still allowed to vote in the Grand Final.
An exceptional occurrence arose in 2006 when, despite not taking part in the 2006 contest due to a scandal in the selection process, Serbia and Montenegro retained voting rights for the contest and voted in both the Semi Final and Grand Final.
With the introduction of two semi-finals in 2008 a new method of selecting finalists was created. The top nine songs ranked by televote qualified, along with one song selected by the back-up juries. This method in most cases meant that the tenth song in the televote placing failed to qualify, and attracted some criticism, especially from Macedonia, who in both years placed 10th in the televote.[7] In 2010, the system used in the 2009 final, where the winner is selected by a combination of televoting and jury votes, was also used to select the semi-finalists.[1]

A bunting they will go
Published on Wed, Jun 24, 2009 by

In baseball, bunting serves best to advance a base-runner into scoring position.
In Sequim, buntings lace business fronts as a sign of respect for patriotic holidays.
The Kiwanis Club of Sequim-Dungeness has 180 buntings, red, white and blue half-circle flags, that hang from Carlsborg to the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce from Memorial Day to Veterans Day.
The flags project has been fronted by the Kiwanis Club longer than current members can remember.
Shell McGuire, Kiwanis member, said the bunting donations have increased each year for at least 20 years.
"Some people don't know that the banners are from us and not the city," said Sequim Kiwanis vice-president Joe Treece.
"I don't blame them for not knowing. We need to let people know about them."
All monies raised from bunting subscriptions go to Kiwanis' sponsored charities. Most donations are intended for children because of the Kiwanis' motto, "Serving the Children of the World."
A Kiwanis-sponsored camp for special-needs students was established 15 years ago by the Port Angeles, Port Townsend and Sequim clubs.
It is a 40-acre camp based in Chimacum for one month each summer.
"It was established to give these special campers a chance to have the true camping experience," Treece said.
Volunteers come from the peninsula and as far as Puyallup to help the campers ride horses, go swimming, make crafts and roast marshmallows over a campfire, McGuire said.
The Sequim Kiwanis members also purchased, for a fifth year, one book for each elementary student in Sequim.
"Many children do not have books of their own," McGuire said.
"They are plunked in front of the TV instead."
More than 1,300 books were purchased for kindergarten through fifth-grade students.
"It takes a coordinated effort from teachers, librarians and Kiwanis members to make it work," McGuire said.
"We encourage kids to exchange books to get more use out of each book."
Kiwanis also donates two $1,000 scholarships each year, one new and one continuing, for Sequim college students.
A poetry contest at Sequim Middle School is run by Kiwanis members and they donate about 20 bicycles a year to charitable organizations. Contributions are made yearly to several local nonprofit organizations.
An annual Christmas tree sale in the JCPenney's parking lot earns the club money for the year's programs, too. McGuire said they sell 300-350 trees each year.
Kiwanis background
The Kiwanis organization has more than 800,000 members serving in 90 countries.
Kiwanis' K-Kids, Builders Club, Key Club and Circle K work with 300,000 children annually.
Sequim-Dungeness Kiwanis was founded in October 1972 after being sponsored by the Port Angeles noon Kiwanis.
Sequim's club has 17 members.
"I came from a club of 100 members in California, but it wasn't as close as a smaller club like ours here," Treece said.
"We're small in numbers but we cover a lot of ground," McGuire said.
He walked most of the length of Washington Street
asking for sponsorship of buntings.
"We realized businesses have things to cut down on, so we'd rather have them donate something than not at all," Treece said.
Bunting prices were reduced from $50 to $40 this year.
Kiwanis Club of Sequim-Dungeness meetings are at noon on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month at Paradise Restaurant, 703 N. Sequim Ave. The next meeting is June 25 and it is open to the public. Speakers from local organizations are featured at each meeting.
For questions on meeting times or buntings, call McGuire at 681-0805.

Wiki > Main > SamsungYH920 (compare)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Difference: SamsungYH920 (r9 vs. r8)Samsung YH-92xHardwareThere are different versions of the YH-920 and YH-925 on the market. They come branded either as a "Samsung Yepp" or "Samsung Napster". On the back side, they are labelled either as "YH920GS/DXN" or "YH920GS1/ELS". This seems to be region specific. At least two different PCB revisions exist, one is labelled "YH-920 (REV 1.0) 2004.06.08", the other one "YH-920 (REV 2.1) 2004.09.01". The YH925 has a version specific to Canada without Radio (YH925GS). There are also different versions with different lables ("Yepp", "Napster", or just "DDigital Audio Player YH-925). The hardware between YH925 and YH920 is mostly the same. The only difference is the display, and apparently the presence of a radio. Parts List for both PCB revisions:
For PCB rev. 1.0, you will find an additional power distribution switch IC on the top side of the PCB:
The FM Tuner chip is optional, is comes soldered as a small PCB together with a few additional resistors/capacitors on top of the main PCB:
FirmwareThe original firmware, loaded from the first FAT32 partition of the hard drive, is in .mi4 format (see http://daniel.haxx.se/sansa/mi4.html for details). It is located in C:\SYSTEM\ . There are at least three original firmware versions named either "FW_YH920.mi4" or "PP5020.mi4", one dated 31.7.2004, another one dated 24.09.2004, and another one dated 28.1.2005. A copy of the original flash bootloader is available on the hard disk as file C:\SYSTEM\PARMS\BL_YH920.rom . Not surprisingly, different versions of bootloaders exist. Firstly, they differ by version number, showing either "BootLoader ver.1.05" or "BootLoader ver.2.05" in the splash screen. Secondly, they differ by branding, one showing an animated Samsung logo, and another an animated Napster logo. However, it is not fully clear yet which PCB revision / bootloader / firmware combinations are allowed. For example, a Napster branded device with PCB rev. 2.1 works perfectly with a Samsung branded bootloader ver 1.05 and firmware dated 28.01.2005. As can be seen from several user complaints in various forums, it seems that many of the faults seem to stem from incompatible combinations, although the hardware is 100% working. According to various forum threads, it also seems that the FM tuner chip - although physically available on the PCB - can be disabled by a firmware update.

The software also uses the users answers to find virtually every possible deduction, thereby maximizing the amount of money users receive on their tax returns. Some of the credits recommended by the program can even boost the tax return amount by up to several thousand dollars. Users also don;t have to worry about being asked questions that don't apply to them, as the software will first acquire the users occupational and living status.
After the forms have been filled in based on the provided answers, the software will then present each form to the user and verify that all of the information is correct. If the user needs help understanding a certain form field, they can use one of many tips offered by the software to learn about the entire tax filing process.
The software even provides information about the effects of certain life changes on tax returns, for example marriages and house purchases. For this reason the software is not only a tax filing tool, but also an educational tool for novices. All of the information provided by the software is straightforward and does not involve any technical jargon or unfamiliar terms.
Single individuals with no children and people who are new to the tax filing process will find this software especially beneficial. Users that are not sure which version of TurboTax would be best for them can start by using the free edition, and the software will automatically recommend the correct edition of TurboTax based on the information provided. Once the user has upgraded to the proper version of TurboTax, the information they provided in the free edition will be transferred to the new edition.
The accuracy of all TurboTax software is backed by the guarantee that no user will ever be penalized on their taxes when using TurboTax to file their taxes. The software developers are so confident ion this truth, that they've promised to pay any penalties incurred (plus interest) as the result of using TurboTax. Starting with the free edition of TurboTax is an excellent way to trial the software and find out which version of Turbotax would be best for you.
TurboTax Online Federal Free Edition: What We Liked
Is a great learning tool and provides a basis to find which version of TurboTax is suits the users needs.
So simple even a first time tax filer can file their tax returns confidently. Users can configure their tax returns to receive the highest possible return amount by comparing the benefits of filing for "sales tax paid" or "stat and local income tax paid".
The tips included in the software are written in easy to understand phrases with no technical jargon or elite language involved. The software does a good job of walking novice tax payers through the process.
TurboTax Online Federal Free Edition: What We Didn't Like
This software is not nearly as capable as the high-end versions of TurboTax.

William H. Scheide (Musical Director)
Born: January 6, 1914
Willliam H. Scheide was surrounded in his childhood by rare books, he grew up in a household passionate about music, culture, learning, and the well-being of humanity. His father played the piano, and his mother was a singer. Bill, who began piano lessons at 6, plays both the piano and the organ. A graduate of the Princeton University, Class of 1936, he received his Master of Art's degree from Columbia University in 1940. His thesis topic? What happened to Bach's music in the first century after his death. Willliam H. Scheide spent the next two years teaching at Cornell University. As he played the oboe with a group of amateur musicians who performed an all Bach repertory, and as he advanced in Bach scholarship, he was drawn to the music from the cantatas. He felt that the arias from the cantatas represented some of Bach's greatest writing for the voice, and for the flute, oboe, violin and cello. It distressed him that this music was virtually unknown, even among the music loving public. In order to bring the arias to a new audience, he founded the Bach Aria Group in 1946 and served as its director until 1980. For more than three decades, the Group enjoyed international acclaim for its concerts, broadcasts, and recordings; releases of its recordings continue to reach new generations of Americans. These humanitarian contributions through the art of music give Willliam H. Scheide a place among both the great musicians and the important patrons in the history of this nation. Willliam H. Scheide has made significant contributions in many fields besides Bach Studies. He has expanded greatly the extraordinary rare book and manuscript collection begun by his grandfather and enlarged by his father, and The Scheide Library, which is now housed within Firestone Library at Princeton University, is a unique and invaluable resource for scholars, bibliophiles, musicologists, and historians from all over the civilized world. Bill's quiet, committed, and compassionate philanthropy has touched the lives of millions from all walks of life and in all parts of the world. Besides Princeton University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Westminster Choir College (to mention only three important educational institutions that have benefited greatly from his generosity), for more than five decades Bill has played a crucial and invaluable part in advancing the goals of The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

For the past twelve years, Future of Music Coalition has worked to inform and engage musicians and the music community on issues that impact artists and creative culture as a whole. Some of our work is very straightforward, such as reinforcing the notion that musicians have a range of views on a host of issues and must be included in discussions about their livelihoods. Some of it is nuanced, such as examining how artists are paid in the emerging digital economy and complex questions around copyright and technology. read more
How are musicians paid when their fans buy downloads on iTunes? How are songwriters paid when their music is played on Pandora? Since our founding, Future of Music Coalition has provided musicians, managers and labels with the in-the-trenches details about how performers, songwriters and labels are each compensated when their music is either streamed or downloaded on an array of music services. read more

Originally published in Billboard.
For decades, broadcasters have enjoyed an exemption that allows them to not pay performers and labels when they terrestrially broadcast music. This hardly makes sense, especially compared to digital services like Pandora or Sirius XM, which pay not only songwriters and composers, but also performers and sound copyright owners. This is why the recent deal struck between broadcasting behemoth Clear Channel and Big Machine Records to pay out for "terrestrial" spins seems so significant. read more
Intellectual property theft on the internet is as rampant as it is difficult to effectively curtail.

The alternate municipal judge for the Town of Cedaredge, Delta attorney Mike Schottelkotte, will be serving as the town's judge after the retirement last week of Sky Fairlamb, Mayor Pat Means has told the DCI.
Fairlamb told the DCI, "I plan to travel with my wife while we now have the chance. I just turned 70." Fairlamb has also stepped down from his duties as municipal judge at Olathe.
Means told the DCI, "We have been trying to hold municipal court once every two months." She added that Schottelkotte is expected to serve as judge "until the spring" when an official appointment to the municipal judge post is made by the town board.
Cedaredge Town Administrator Katie Sickles confirmed, "Sky Fairlamb resigned (Thursday, Dec. 6) as the Cedaredge Municipal Judge and on Friday as the Olathe Municipal Judge. Sky was originally appointed by the board of trustees as the alternate judge Feb. 26, 1998."
He was appointed to the municipal judgeship in February 2002, Sickles said, adding, "I appreciate Judge Fairlamb's commitment to Cedaredge and his outstanding service to the community."

im really disappointed to learn gmintraining is in fact not a hilariously dumb person like I thought, but rather just a common troll.
its like finding out Santa isnt real
CampNightmare8 (01-03-2013)
CampNightmare8 (01-03-2013)
i swear the nba has the least knowledgeable fans? just because t-rob isnt starting or not even in the rotation doesn't mean he's a bad player or having a bad year. evans looked more of a promising player than harden in 2009 ,and kevin love sat the bench for 2 years, while players like oj mayo, beasley,and gordon looked like better prospects .
dunlap is not utilizing mkg and i felt that the pick could of been used for a need. i love mkg , i feel that mkg is a faster ,shorter josh smith w all the same skill sets. i just wanna win and i feel since he's always the oddman out and he may have the highest trade value ,and that we may be able to get a potential all-star big or player for that matter .
everyone gets caught in the now factor and im looking at the big picture ; we need a big man and t-rob is a great prospect. the kings dont need him but the they drafted the best player available ,thats not any knock to t-rob. t-rob is buried on the bench but he will get his chance.
basically what i was stating is that we kinda wasted a pick on what we wanted , instead of what we needed and its shows . our bigs are very inconsistent on the boards and none of them have any post play. like i stated rebounds and strong post players always translate to the nba; griffin, millsap, love, faried, blair, drummond, cousins,and monroe. cousins had weight issues coming in the draft, blair had knee issues , faried came from a small college, monroe's one the least athletic centers in the lg but one thing they all have in common is that they all are strong rebounders and post players.
also its so ironic that ppl are mentioning drummond because about 3 weeks ago he was in the same boat as t-rob , but as of late he's getting quality mins so it seems he may be the better prospect. what fans have to understand is that there could be 3-6 different reasons why t-rob is not playing and none of them could be because of performance.
thats why our all-star votes are always messed up because fans dont really watch games nor watch college and dont know anything but whats hot and the 1&2 pick of the draft . i feel before some comment they should watch actual games not highlights.

I agree that Dunlap isn't playing him right but you've gotta consider that he also gets into foul trouble a lot.
lmao T-Rob is a total scrub. The kings would probably trade us T-Rob and two unprotected first round picks for MKG. We would still laugh them off the phone. Players like MKG are once a decade and guys like T-Rob are a dime a dozen. MKG is a star and T-Rob is a flashlight.
CampNightmare8 (01-04-2013)
Thank god we made the "mistake" to draft the best player available instead of the clear lesser prospect.
We're talking about the only rookie EVER to have multiple 25/12 games and you're complaining? Not MJ, not LeBron, nobody.
You know what else always translates to the NBA? Talent. And we got a shit ton more of it in MKG than we would've from Robinson. He's the youngest player in the league and he's already one of the best defenders and rebounders (ironically, he's a better rebounder than Robinson but I guess that falls on deaf ears to you) among wings.
We need a consistent big man who scores and rebounds instead of a clearly better wing. By your logic, we'd rather have Kevin Love than LeBron or Durant. So...... Yeah.
Please stop
i guarentee i can think of more high energy defensive tweener players , than an ATHLETIC rebounding big man w some post play
corey brewer
iggy(just developed an 3 pointer)
ronny brewer
matt barnes
gerald wallace
shawn marion
moe harkless
thaddeus young
trevor ariza
artest (kinda of a stretch because he's not as athletic)
mikeal petrius
josh smith
sam young
kwahi leonard
wesley johnson
i can name probably 5 more , damn near every team has an athletic defensive tweener, but not every team has an athletic banger and that reason alone is why big men are at premium and players like jj hickson and millsap are looking at huge paydays .
your turn or if anybody wants to take up that challenge
by my logic? i was comparing within draft classes thus love being compared to his drafted counter parts and how he sat the bench for 2 years.what are you talking about? everyone has talent in the nba ....um its the nba but not everyone has skill or fundamentals . everyone is basically glorifying mkg because he's 19 , t-rob is 21 wow big difference.
mkg also isnt nowhere the wing player that durant ,lebron,and melo. mkg is an specialist not an all-around nba player ,and none of the players you even named are specialist or started their careers off as an specialist .
obviously mkg isnt a need because he finds himself on the bench for hendo who may offer almost just as much as mkg w offensive .hendo is basically our starting sf ,so if mkg is always the odd man out in our rotations ,we were better off drafting an actual big even if it wasnt t-rob ,maybe drummond . we are losing games because our bigs are horrible not because we dont have an wing player who plays defense and barely on the court.
side note: i wouldnt consider mkg one of the best defenders in the lg and he's in foul trouble every game
Last edited by gm in potty training; 01-04-2013 at 02:35 AM.
You just named a bunch of true wings and maybe three (Marion, Smith, Young) actual tweeners.
Ironically, Robinson is much closer to a tweener than MKG. Who remembers Robinson trying to play PG in our preseason game with them while MKG was shining like the true budding star he is? Good times.
Bosnian-Bobcats-Fan (01-04-2013)
He averages 27.5 minutes a game. That's far from "barely on the court".
"Barely on the court" would be more like 15.1 per game. Or, you know, the amount Robinson plays.
You're talking about a guy who can't beat out Chuck Hayes or James Johnson for minutes! Seriously, where is corbkicks with an lol when you need him

Copper Fire Pit
Great Quality!
I searched high and low for a heavy duty firepit that could withstand my husband's large firewood. This pit is solid, heavy duty, and very nice looking. The copper turned after about a month of weathering and a few fires. It blends right in with our outdoor living. We made a wood top for it to convert it to a coffee table to hide the ashes and soot when we are not using it. This is a great investment if you are looking for a long term pit.
October 27, 2010
A fire-pit that will last forever
Great quality, very sturdy and solid. Lovely to look at. The optional metal mesh dome lid is
a must as the ashes do fly about. The lid is also
sturdy and nicely designed though it doesn't quite fit, we needed to 'stretch' it a bit to make it fit correctly.
October 26, 2010
spark scrn
Love the spark screen . It will work great on our new fire pit. I do however have to order the cover as i do think it will rust if left out.. Have not had a bad item from frontgate.. quality is always there.
October 22, 2010
Did not keep, decided to build brick firepit.
We decided to build a brick firepit instead of keeping protable design.
October 22, 2010
High quality - makes roasting more fun
These are worth every penny. Long enough to keep your hands from getting too hot. Made well from high quality materials. The family loves them!
October 17, 2010
Great Buy
They are a little pricey, but worth every penny. Excellent quality, which is what I want with something that the kids will be sticking into a flaming fire pit.
October 14, 2010
40" Copper Fire Pit
After searching at length for a larger diameter fire pit - my husband and I settled on this one. And, we are so glad that we did!!! Very pleased with the size, the beauty and the quality. We ordered the spark cover to go with it. Have already put it to use to enjoy these cool Fall evenings!
October 12, 2010
True to Frontgate Quality
We love to enjoy a fire in the evening - especially in the fall season when the nights get cooler while the days remain warm. This high quality, attractive, fire pit is not only just the right size for logs, but it provides a gorgeous fire. We didn't buy the spark guard, but think that's the next purchase to contain sparks from the larger fire that this size pit enables. We've now designed a special area just to showcase our new fire pit!
October 7, 2010
Great patio addition!!!
The 40" copper fire pit is awesome. It looks great and the size is just what is needed if you want a decent fire without the risk of wood/ash falling out. And I can use the same size firewood that I use indoors, which is a nice time saver when cutting wood.
We purchased the cover separately and it fits well and is easy to use. Only issue is it would be nice if there was some way to have the cover not catch rain water, but that's easy enough to do by putting something underneath it.
Great purchase.

The Best Fire Pit
After researching fire pits, I determined the Frontgate 40" Firepit was the best for the money. We have used it several times during cool September nights here in the northeast. It looks great and works beautifully! I like that it holds larger logs and the grate provides excellent airflow. I highly recommend it.
September 19, 2010
40" copper fire pit
Absolutely love this fire pit. It was very easy to put together and goes well with our frontgate torches. The only Complaint I have is that the first fire pit that was delivered had a flaw/divot in the copper bowl. It shouldn't have passed quality control thus the reson for the four star rating.

The copper fire pit is a great improvement over the one I bought a year ago from somewhere else. The old one has tiles chipping off and is beginning to rust. Obviously this wont be a problem with the beautiful copper one. The copper fire pit is very substantial and sturdy. Just make sure to buy the spark cover.

We absolutely love the firepit! It's a little too hot in MS right now to use it, but we look forward to lighting it up this fall! It's absolutely beautiful though, and I cannot wait to use it as a cooler when we entertain! However, I know how to use a firepit, but I do wish it would have come with instructions on how to use/ clean it... Love it so far though!

QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY that's it in a nut shell
I purchased the Fire Pit Tools. The quality is the main factor in that product that I purchase. My friend ordered the tools and when I saw them I "had to have them" !!! The weight and the construction are exquisit and I mean it...
I love looking at your catalog. I wish it was bigger! I want to order everything.........
My suggestion is that maybe more products for the average person to afford.
Keep your catalog coming ....

Excellent product
We purchased the 40" copper fire pit because we wanted to be able to use our own firewood that was cut longer than most firewood. The wood fits beautifully. The firepit it very sturdy compared to those sold in local stores.
The grandkids love roasting marshmellows and making "smores" around the fire pit.
Thanks for a great product.

Great value - largest fire pit around
We love our new 40" firepit. Our only disappointment is that the spark screen rusted after the very first use--I believe because the flames burn off the protective coating on the screen. Other than that, we're ecstatic about our purchase. We like the fact that the entire screen doesn't need to be removed to attend to the fire--simply open half of it, which fits in the other half--great design!

Beautifully Crafted
We love the firepit but have yet to have a cold enough night to use it. Can't wait.

Perfect Finish!
At the time the 40" copper fire pit was purchased (several years ago), the cover wasn't purchased. Over the years, it became evident that the cover should have been purchased. I was so very pleased to see the cover still offered in the Frontgage catalog. I ordered it; it arrived incredibly fast (within a few days), and it fits the fire pit perfectly while giving a finished look to the fire pit when it isn't being used.

always confident you will stand behind the product
I LOVE the misting fan, John was less impressed. Then when it quit working, I was concerned, but as usual Frontgate stood behind the product especially when we couldn't get an answer from the fan company. The new fan is here and I am looking forward to hooking it up and enjoying the coolong mist. Ask us again in a month to hear if the new fan is still working.

What a perfect combination of style and functionality! We love the way this looks and it gets used 2 to 3 times a week and even after a year it cleans up real well.

Copper Fire Pit
I searched for a sturdy, durable and stylish fire pit for our new patio. This fire pit fits the bill. It is deep and wide enough to fit big logs in. The bowl is very thick and solid. The stand is very sturdy and of good quality. Overall, this is a well made fire pit and well worth the money.
