Twitter launches app to 'change way people find music'
Twitter has launched a new music service it says will "change the way people find music".
The social networking site said the #music app uses information from Twitter activity to find popular tracks and emerging artists and suggest them to its users.
Music can be played through the app itself or on iTunes, Spotify and Rdio. Users can also tweet songs directly from the app.
Although the app is free, users must have an Rdio or Spotify subscription to listen to songs in full.
The Twitter #music app is available at Apple's App Store now and a web version is expected to be released later today:
You can download Twitter #music now by opening this link from your iOS device: https://t.co/CzHcOU34gM
Twitter did not announce a Google Android model.
The launch follows intense speculation over Twitter's next move following Facebook's launch of a music feature that allows people to listen to songs with their friends.
Last week American Idol host Ryan Seacrest created a buzz surrounding the app when he tweeted:
playing with @twitter's new music app (yes it's real!)...there's a serious dance party happening at idol right now
lovin the app...shows what artists are trending, also has up and coming artists... spinning u now @frankturner
The app is available for download in the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
Twitter said it plans to bring the service to more countries "over time".
How does the #music app work?
- If you're interested in a track tweeted by an artist or someone you follow on Twitter, click on #NowPlaying to view and listen to it:
- If you are scrolling through a music chart and want to know more about the artist whose song charted you can click on their avatar to see their top track, follow them on Twitter, or tap on their username to view their full profile:
- Should you wish to listen to music from the artists another user follows you can search for their name using the search icon in the top right-hand corner of the app. Then click on the artist you are interested in and hit the play button to begin listening.
- Or you can listen to all the artists the user follows by pressing the play button on the player:
- When you find songs you want to share with your Twitter followers you can click on the spinning disc in the lower left-hand corner of the app. This is will open the player and you can tweet it using the tweet icon in the top right-hand corner:

Brighton and Hove mobile library saved
8:52am Friday 21st September 2012 in News By Tim Ridgway
After strong opposition and lengthy debate Brighton and Hove mobile library service has been spared the axe – for the moment.
Brighton and Hove City Council proposed to replace the vehicle with a door-to-door "books on wheels" delivery service.
The local authority's administration claimed it had exhausted all options to find about £75,000 a year to keep the service running for another decade.
However, opposition councillors disputed this and asked for the vehicle, which is used by more than 800 people, to remain until March instead of being scrapped in December.
After a lengthy debate, four Conservative and two Labour councillors were joined by four members of the Green administration in unanimously passing the amendment, which asks experts to use the time and look for extra money, specifically from within the council.
Library activist Harry Spillman, who collected more than 1,500 signatures against the closure, said the council was "taking the axe to a popular and much-loved service".
The local authority had proposed £25,000 a year for the home delivery service, which would have included home tuition in the internet and social media.
Voluntary service
It would have required the assistance of volunteers.
The proposal would have freed-up the £120,000 allocated to buy a new vehicle put forward at February's budget meeting.
Green councillor Geoffrey Bowden, chairman of the economic and culture committee, said: "Unless we have the funding we cannot have a new library parked up somewhere like an unused aircraft carrier."
He added the local authority had "bucked the national trend" and kept all its static libraries across the city open despite Government cuts.
But Labour councillor Brian Fitch said: "We want to give it a stay of execution.
"I do not think the Greens have ever taken the exercise [of finding funding] seriously.
"If the Greens would have wanted this to happen it would have happened."
Conservative councillor David Smith said: "In the four years we were in administration we expanded all our libraries. By closing one we are going the wrong way."
Sally McMahon, the council's head of libraries, said: "It's about looking at priorities. Is it more important to maintain a mobile library for many people who are already using static libraries or helping those that cannot get to their local library?"
It means there will be a £17,000 shortfall for this year.
However, the local authority finance experts believe this is "manageable".
A decision on its future beyond March will be taken at the council's budget meeting in February.

Considering the incompitent Tory plan to put benefits on-line, there is likely to be a big need for a supported mobile internet service as many thousands in B&H do not have access and have never used it. It would seem sensible to fund a mobile library with a couple of computers giving supported internet access. I shall be writing to my councillors forthwith and I hope some of you will do the same.

So we have MSNBC editing video and lying, again, about "heckling" and other media propping up a rapist to lecture on gun control. Brilliant.—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
As Twitchy reported, Gayle Trotter of the Independent Women's Forum sent progressive heads into a spin today by testifying that "guns make women safer" and "are the great equalizer during a violent confrontation." That particular form of female empowerment didn't sit well with onlookers who don't like the idea of a woman behind the trigger of a "big, scary assault weapon."
So, if we can't take a law-abiding attorney's pro-gun views seriously, whom can we trust? How about a convicted rapist advocating gun control? Dana Loesch and others called out Dayton, Ohio, TV station WHIO for leaving that bit of background information out of a report on protests at a gun show.
Hi @whiotv , do you realize that the organizer of the anti-gun rally you interviewed was ID'd as a convicted rapist? bit.ly/XSzowy—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
I wonder if @whiotv would have included the interview with this man had they known his record. bit.ly/XSzowy—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
WHIO responded to Twitter user @DomesticDebacle, saying that yes, the station was aware of the Rev. Jerome McCorry's "controversial past," but they were just trying to be fair and balanced.
@Dloesch @Whiotv responded on their FB page. They were aware of his past and support the rapist's message. #guncon twitpic.com/bzlkn7—
Domestic Debacle (@DomesticDebacle) January 30, 2013
@DomesticDebacle @DLoesch We did not say we supported his message only that we are aware of his past & that we were reporting both sides.—
WHIOTV (@whiotv) January 30, 2013
WHIO clarified that the station does not support McCorry's message, which, by the way, is one of peace, nonviolence and community harmony. Leave out the rape bit and that sounds pretty good, actually.
@DomesticDebacle Please reread our response. We said McCorry's message is of community harmony through peace and non-violence.—
WHIOTV (@whiotv) January 30, 2013
Why did @ABC22FOX45 use a convicted rapist as its anti-gun source? bit.ly/Wyd3ar—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
Why did the @daytondailynews not check that the anti-gun source it cited was a convicted rapist? bit.ly/Wyd3ar—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
The media is seriously going to trot out a convicted rapist to lecture women as to why they shouldn't be armed? bit.ly/Wyd3ar—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
@DomesticDebacle @DLoesch @whiotv Doesn't it seem to bring motive into question when a violent felon favors gun control for law abiding folk—
Gary Black (@GaryBlackal) January 30, 2013
I don't buy a story of repentance either when the subject is lying using falsehoods created by people prejudiced towards firearms.—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
There was no one else in Ohio to spout off anti-gun nonsense other than a convicted rapist? Seriously? That's their representative?—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
Oh NO. There is no "War on Women" here: bit.ly/Wyd3ar—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
Earlier this month, a pollster advised a group of Republican lawmakers to "stop talking about rape" in the wake of comments by (former) Rep. Todd Akin that many on the Left construed as "pro-rape." So how are we to take the comments of an actual convicted rapist who is protesting against women and others arming themselves against, say, rapists? Loesch and others aren't taking the advice to just stop talking about rape in this case.
Talking about rape and being a politician = bad. Actually being a rapist and calling for disarmament of people = OK.—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
Noting @DLoesch 's story, can you imagine a the press coverage of a #Teaparty type convicted of rape protesting an Abortion clinic?—
Melissa Clouthier (@MelissaTweets) January 30, 2013
@DLoesch @whiotv as a Daytonian….I am grateful for the coverage and as far as I'm concerned @whiotv lost a loyal viewer!—
Leslie Brumley (@lesliebrumley) January 30, 2013
@whiotv let a convicted rapist on air to talk about his support for gun control. They then tell me how peaceful he is. #waronwomen #rape—
Domestic Debacle (@DomesticDebacle) January 30, 2013
That man's criminal record is the reason women arm themselves. Perhaps mention that, @ABC22FOX45 @whiotv @DaytonDailyNews—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 30, 2013
@DLoesch @ABC22FOX45 @whiotv @daytondailynews Which is why I AM armed. I am proud to say that I arm myself to protect myself and daughter.—

The Hamlet of Marie Antoinette near the palace of Versailles was built and used by the king and queen...
There are many fountains and statues on the grounds of Versailles. This is the Colonnade fountain in ...
France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

From Baird Online:
It is difficult to avoid using superlatives and hyperbole when reviewing these magnificent works of research and data collection. Having reviewed them annually for a very long time, it is sufficient to say that what was originally excellent, manages to become even better with each new edition. There is no better source of data on the facts they describe. As well as the properly bound hard cover directories themselves, each comes with a useful and easily manipulable CD that enhances their utility considerably.
Totally, the seven directories contain essential information on more than 33,000 existing and currently building ships as well as their 7,000 owners. It is all invaluable information. It is also remarkably accurate and up-to-date. Clarkson Research Services has a large and well qualified staff. They obviously put a lot of effort into this project. Considering that effort and the value of Clarkson's data, the price of the registers is very reasonable indeed.

OK, that's a grown man tackling a giant orange, followed by the orange throwing up in a trash can. Let's back up.
With both offenses slacking on delivering the promise of maximum points -- only 38 with 40 minutes to go, sirs?! -- the West Virginia Mountaineers defense took matters into their own hands. Matters being the football, wrenched from running back Andre Ellington as he hurtled for what might've been a touchdown otherwise, with Darwin Cook taking the ball 99 yards the other way.
SI.com: Live Orange Bowl box score and Orange Bowl FAQ.
After replay, it became clear the ball was loose well before Ellington hit the ground. It then meandered throughout various limbs, failing to find a suitable captor before settling upon Cook as its only acceptable handler. Pure Darwinism.

Dennis and his sister actually graduated from Amador and his kids have gone to Foothill.

CATEGORIES MoviesWhen you're Captain America, filming in the heart of Washington, D.C. is no big thing. Not everyone can pull it off (or get permits), but Marvel and Disney sure can.
Much to the delight of bystanders, Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie, and Scarlett Johansson were filming "Captain America: Winter Soldier" at the National Mall and thereabouts. The latter was in costume as the Black Widow, and the other two were just hanging around, being hot, and in the case of Evans, doing push-ups. Were they between scenes or was he in character? We won't know until next April.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" picks up where "The Avengers" left off, with the former 98-pound weakling trying to figure out how to handle the modern world after being frozen since WWII. Steve Rogers's old buddy Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) has returned, but now he's the eponymous Winter Soldier, a super bad guy.
As Mackie described it, "This movie, 'Captain America,' has kind of become 'Avengers 1.5'; if you look at the cast they've put together, if you look at the number of characters that are in this movie. I mean, it's a huge number of superheroes and characters. The basic idea is that you have Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon that get together to take down the Winter Soldier."
Of course, folks are also pretty excited to see Robert Redford as a top S.H.I.E.L.D. official, and the return of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. With a 2014 release date, we'll have to take these snippets of action where we can get 'em.

It's hard to believe Google offered $6 billion, or that Groupon would turn it down.
Groupon has been a fabulous success by any measure. In just two years it's created a new marketing niche, built a $500 million a year revenue stream and expanded into more than 300 markets, with more coming every week. But is it really worth $6 billion?
I doubt it, and I have doubts that Google offered that much. That was the highest number thrown around in the media over the last week or so, the story being that Google offered something like $5.25 billion plus another $700 million in executive bonuses if certain goals were met. But neither Google nor Groupon ever confirmed that there was an offer, much less how much it was. And at least some analysts are privately skeptical Google would offer that much.
It's not that Groupon isn't a great company, or that the concept it pioneered will soon disappear. It's created a marvelous way for businesses to acquire new customers through the web, as an article by our Zak Stambor will explain in more detail in the January issue of Internet Retailer magazine. And it's especially great for small local businesses that don't have the money or the expertise to invest in sophisticated Internet marketing. Groupon is building that kind of expertise, for instance, recently hiring a key executive from Netflix, Mark Johnson, who was vice president of software engineering at Netflix, as its chief data officer to beef up its marketing chops. With that kind of talent, Groupon can do the hard technical work of web marketing; all the merchant has to do is serve the customers that stream in as a result.
The problem for Groupon is that its success has spurred imitators, and that major online companies are getting into the act. EBay recently acquired Milo.com, making clear it will be a player in local product search and marketing. And, in the clearest sign of how tough the competition will be, Amazon.com Inc. invested $175 million in Groupon's nearest rival, LivingSocial. Amazon hasn't said how big a stake it got for that sum, which would have given us a sense of the value of these social coupon sites. If Amazon took a 10% stake that would value LivingSocial at $1.75 billion, which seems plausible. But Amazon could just as easily have bought 5% or 20% of LivingSocial, which would change the valuation significantly. We'll have to wait and see what comes out. In any case, the world's largest online retailer by revenue is now competing directly with Groupon. So that's one cloud on the horizon for Chicago-based Groupon.
Another is that competition will inevitably drive down its profit margins. Groupon has been taking 50% of the value of the coupon offered. So if a local shop offers $100 in merchandise for $50, Groupon takes $25 and the retailer $25. That means the retailer is selling $100 in goods or services for $25. That may make sense to the merchant as a one-time marketing expense that can draw in new customers, but it's not the kind of offer many businesses can make on a regular basis.
There are already signs that Groupon competitors are asking merchants for less than 50% of the coupon offer. Sooner or later, competition will drive down Groupon's percentage, and hence the profitability of its business model.
And then there's the question of consumer fatigue. Are they going to be as excited about Groupon-type offers in two years as they are today? Five years ago, comparison shopping engines were all the rage, and big companies like eBay, Experian and Scripps paid hundreds of millions of dollars for leading comparison shopping sites that make money by charging a click fee for the traffic they send e-retail sites. Those deals don't look as good today, particularly since Google undercut those sites by offering its own shopping portal and charging merchants nothing for the traffic they receive from Google Product Search.
And that brings me to the final problem for Groupon: If it really did turn down Google, Google will go elsewhere. And ultimately it's likely Groupon will be competing against companies backed by Google, Amazon, eBay and perhaps other major players. At some point, Groupon's owners may wish they had accepted Google's offer, whatever it really was.

"Who Says You Can't Go Home" single continues to highlight Bon Jovi's partnership with Habitat for Humanity
May 3, 2006
Song hits No.1 on the Billboard Country Music Chart
AMERICUS, Ga. (May 3, 2006)- Marking the first time a rock band has ever had a No. 1 song on the Billboard Country Music Chart, Bon Jovi's duet with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, "Who Says You Can't Go Home," has hit No. 1.
The song highlights an ongoing partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Bon Jovi began building homes with Habitat in 2005 and since then has worked with his Arena Football League team, The Philadelphia Soul, to build six homes in Philadelphia.
Jon Bon Jovi, a Philadelphia-area resident known for his community involvement, approached Habitat in June 2005 with a proposal for a local build. To fund the build, Bon Jovi pledged the majority of the band's video budget from Island Records, contributed funds from the Bon Jovi Family Foundation and secured additional sponsorship through pre-existing relationships in the private sector. The band then planned a music video with a "think global, act local" theme.
Last October, Bon Jovi, Habitat, Philadelphia Soul team members, local volunteers and families, and corporate sponsors (Comcast, SAP, Sprint, and The Strober Organization) gathered on a build site in Philadelphia to formally announce a partnership to build two duplexes consisting of four homes The site also served as the location for Bon Jovi's music video, "Who Says You Can't Go Home," which highlights the efforts of Habitat families and local volunteers to build simple, decent homes. The video emphasizes the band's support for Habitat for Humanity and its core mission of eliminating poverty housing.
"Who Says You Can't Go Home" was performed live at the Country Music Awards in New York in November in 2005. The song has not only topped the Country chart, it has been in top rotation on CMT, GAC and VH1. The video has earned the band their first CMT Award for "Collaborative Video of the Year." The collaboration is also nominated for an Academy of Country Music Award.
Bon Jovi's work with Habitat, along with his other humanitarian efforts, has inspired HELP USA - which aids and mentors the homeless - to name Jon Bon Jovi one of the recipients of their annual HELP Heroes Award, along with director Martin Scorsese, at an awards banquet on May 4.
"Who Says You Can't Go Home" was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, the songwriting team responsible for some of the most recognizable rock and pop hits of the past 20-plus years. "Who Says You Can't Go Home" is the second single from the band's ninth studio album, "Have A Nice Day," which was released in September 2005. The album debut earned a career-high sales week for the band in the United States, as well as debuting at No. 1 in Japan, Australia, Holland, Austria, Germany and Canada. The album has currently sold more than three million albums worldwide.
About Bon Jovi
Over the last two decades, Bon Jovi has earned the respect of the music industry and the loyalty of legions of fans around the globe. They have sold over 100 million albums worldwide and, since forming in 1984, Bon Jovi has performed more than 2500 concerts in 50 countries before more than 32 million people. On September 20th, '05, Bon Jovi released their ninth studio album, "Have A Nice Day" (Island Records), which has currently sold over 3 million copies worldwide. In November 2005 the band embarked on the "Have A Nice Day" World Tour.

I dont see any ambiguity with sentence 1. If at least one of the two men did go there, the answer would be yes. The answer can only be no if neither Jack nor Jeff went there.
OTOH, sentence 2 sounds funny to me. Lets see what the others think about it.

KSP Offers Life-Saving Driving Advice for Thanksgiving Holiday
Date of News Release: 11/17/2006
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) --The approaching Thanksgiving holiday means increased traffic on roads and highways throughout Kentucky. As a result, the Kentucky State Police will be enhancing its road patrols and operating safety checkpoints statewide beginning at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 22, and ending at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 26. During this period, state troopers will be coordinating enforcement activities with local police and sheriff's offices. They will be using radar, laser and video equipment as well as passive alcohol sensors to assist their efforts.
As part of its increased activities, KSP will also be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). This nationwide program works to reduce crashes on interstate highways and parkways by concentrating on the three key causes of traffic fatalities: speeding, impaired driving and failure to use occupant restraints.
"The Thanksgiving holiday period is one of the busiest times on our roadways," says Kentucky State Police Commissioner Jack Adams. "Many residents will be traveling within the state and many more out-of-state visitors will be travelling to or through the Commonwealth. This increased activity has the potential to produce added risks to holiday travel plans."
During the four-day 2005 Thanksgiving holiday period, there were 1,132 motor vehicle crashes on Kentucky roadways. Twelve people died and 367 were injured. Of the 12 fatalities, nine of the victims were not using seat belts.
"Through Nov. 19 of this year, Kentucky has recorded 801 highway fatalities," said Adams. "Of those, 668 were motor vehicle victims -- 423 of the whom were not wearing seat belts. While these deaths are tragic, many of them could have been avoided. I urge all motorists to protect themselves and their fellow travelers by following these safe driving tips," added Adams.
- Don't drink and drive. Kentucky has a zero tolerance policy regarding driving while impaired by alcohol. Operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08 will result in an immediate arrest even for first time offenders.
- Buckle up. Kentucky law makes the driver responsible for assuring that all occupants in their vehicle are properly restrained. The primary seat belt law went into effect July 12, 2006, allowing police to enforce observed violations of this law. Drivers who are stopped solely for failure to use seat belts on themselves or their passengers are being issued written warnings until the penalty phase goes into effect Jan. 1, 2007. At that time, citations will be issued solely for failure to wear restraints.
- Use approved child restraints. According to Kentucky law, all children 40 inches in height or less, must be buckled into a child safety restraint seat that meets federal standards. Children over 40 inches tall must wear a seat belt. Violation of this law will result in a $50.00 fine with an additional $10.00 fine donated to the Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund. Motorists should be aware that the back seat is the safest place for children to sit, especially in vehicles equipped with passenger-side air bags. Infants and toddlers should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger-side air bag. Parents should always be sure that their child's safety seat has been properly installed in the vehicle according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Slow down. While many drivers don't consider speeding to be as risky as impaired driving or not wearing seat belts, studies show that higher travel speeds are responsible for a significant increase in highway traffic deaths. Speeding reduces a driver's ability to steer safely around curves or objects in the roadway. It extends the distance required to stop a vehicle and increases the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a dangerous situation.
- Obey speed limits. Excessive speed reduces your ability to avoid a crash, extends your vehicle's stopping distance and increases the severity of a crash when it occurs.
- Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation and fatigue can cause lapses in attention, slowed awareness and impaired judgement.
- Don't tailgate. Follow other vehicles at a safe distance. If you find yourself being tailgated, don't hit the brakes. Slow down gradually and let the other vehicle pass you.
- Avoid aggressive driving behaviors such as passing on the shoulder of the road, changing lanes without signaling, violating traffic signals and weaving in and out of traffic.
- Expect the unexpected. Watch traffic around you and be prepared to react. Scan the road ahead for potential hazards.
- Watch for road debris such as tire treads, garbage, lumber, gravel, tree limbs, mufflers and exhaust parts.
- Take extra care on rural roads with 55 mile per hour speed limits.
- Avoid or minimize in-car distractions such as cell phone use, changing tapes or CDs, eating or other activities that can remove your attention from the road.
- Take frequent breaks to keep alert during long distance trips.
- Be extra cautious around large trucks. They have large "blind spots" and much longer stopping distances than passenger cars.
- Remember that three out of four crashes happen within 25 miles of home at speeds of 45 miles per hour or less. About 40 percent of all fatal crashes occur on roads where the speed limit is 30 miles per hour or less.
"Staying focused on driving while behind the wheel of a vehicle is a year-round message, but it needs to be re-emphasized during busy holiday travel times," said Adams. "By keeping two hands on the wheel, two eyes on the road and following this common sense advice, we can all celebrate the season by making it a safe holiday on our roadways."
Citizens can contribute to highway safety during the holiday period by reporting erratic, impaired or speeding drivers to the KSP toll-free hotline at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Signs that a driver might be impaired include weaving, swerving, drifting or straddling the center line; driving on the wrong side of the road; driving at inconsistent speeds; stopping without cause or braking erratically; ignoring or responding slowly to traffic lights; driving too close to curbs and driving at night with no lights. Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number, if possible.

---- — Leash
The City of Plattsburgh does have a dog leash law. And there is no reason why other dog walkers should have make detours and run away from your dog. Leash it. And your suggestion for carrying a whistle is absurd. BTW, pick up your dog's mess.
I want to remind people that dogs are welcome everywhere. They are family members too. Just because you see a dog does not mean they are going to bite you. And if you are allergic, don't go near the dog or cat.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Sony XS-GS1720 by John Pollard Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Natural, detailed sound Sony's XS-GS1720 6-1/2"/6-3/4" speakers feature incredibly lightweight, mica-reinforced woofers that are both airy and stiff, so they can produce big sound without warping or distorting. A supple rubber surround supports the woofer, helping to keep it centered during heavy excursion so you enjoy full bass. The high-energy magnet and nimble motor structure drive the cone with precision so the vocals and instruments sound natural. High-end components Vibrant highs from the 1" aluminum dome tweeter mean you'll hear expressive vocals and cymbal work, plus you can adjust the tweeter angle for the best high-frequency coverage in your vehicle. Built-in crossovers keep your highs in flawless balance with your mids and lows, and even let you power the tweeters and woofers separately for enhanced performance and efficiency. You can angle the tweeters towards your ears so you'll catch every satisfying detail.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Woofer Cones: The XS-GS1720 woofers use an MRC cone (Mica Reinforced Cellular glass fiber composite) to reduce weight and increase rigidity, delivering full bass response. Rubber Surrounds: For a smoother response and improved durability, each woofer uses a rubber surround. Tweeters: Each speaker uses a 1" aluminum dome tweeter for outstanding dispersion and clarity. The tweeters are angled so you can direct them toward the listening positions. Bi-amp Inputs: The 2-way crossover has separate inputs for the woofer and tweeter; this lets you drive the speaker system with dedicated power for the separate speaker elements, instead of sharing power. Out of the box there are jumper wires shorting the tweeter and woofer inputs; the jumper wires must be removed to bi-amp the speakers. Crossovers: The woofers and tweeters have independent crossovers, 6 dB/octave low-pass and 12 dB/octave high-pass. The crossover frequency is 5 kHz. Mounting: The speakers can be mounted in a variety of 6-1/2" and 6-3/4" applications. Specification Note: Sony's rated power spec for the XS-GS1720 is 75 watts (derived using IEC 60268-5 standards). They also list the CEA 2031 compliant RMS power as 110 watts. We've adopted the 75 watt rating simply because it's the more conservative figure.

Six months after first-time mom Florencia Martinez gave birth to her son Lucas, she started to "freak out."
Her baby was vomiting, had diarrhea and was losing weight. She wasn't producing enough breast milk to feed him, so she decided to supplement her own milk with formula. But Lucas could not digest it due to allergies.
"I didn't know what to do," says Martinez, 23, who lives in Cooper City. She began asking nursing friends if they could donate to feed Lucas, but she couldn't find anyone whose milk fit his particular dietary needs.
That's when she turned to the Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas, which collects donated milk from mothers who produce excess breast milk through pumping. The organization screens and pasteurizes the milk, which is then ice-packed and shipped overnight across the country. The milk bank fills prescriptions written by physicians for premature and medically fragile babies.
Martinez tapped into those donations to find milk without the proteins that were making Lucas ill. Today, Lucas is doing much better; he will celebrate his first birthday in March and has nearly tripled his weight since birth.
Bouyed by her experience, Martinez has worked with The Gathering Place at 5810 Biscayne Blvd. to establish a "milk depot" where South Florida mothers can donate their milk. Martinez, a volunteer who helps coordinate the donations, hopes the depot, which opened last week, will help alleviate the shortage of breast milk that she encountered.
Women can bring donations to the "depot," a freezer where The Gathering Place is storing the milk, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Florida does not have its own "milk bank," so when the freezer is full, The Gathering Place sends donations to the bank in North Texas. Even before its official opening, the milk bank sent three shipments of about 1,300 ounces to Texas — enough to feed three to four babies on a short-term basis. The North Texas milk bank provides donor human milk to hospitals in 10 states.
The Gathering Place's on-site lactation consultant, Mirine Dye, said collecting milk is becoming more important as more babies are born prematurely. These infants are especially vulnerable to respiratory and stomach infections that "can kill them in the first year of life" if they are not fed properly, she said.
When premature babies are fed breastmilk, they are able to be released from the hospital faster on average than babies who are fed infant formula, she said. While many recognize the benefits of breast feeding, Dye said, they don't realize that premature babies usually can't digest formula and can drink only breast milk.
Prior to The Gathering Place's milk bank, breastfeeding mothers didn't have a local place to donate their milk.
Ana Rodriguez, 30, began breastfeeding her daughter Emma when she was born almost a year ago. When Emma was about 4 months old and Rodriguez was ready to return to work, she began pumping and storing milk for her daughter. Soon, she filled her entire freezer, then moved on to fill her mother's freezer.
Before she knew she could donate the milk, she sometimes just dumped it, which was "super painful" because it seemed like such a waste, she said. Her mother showed her an article about donating the milk and since then, she has helped fill The Gathering Place's freezer.
"There's a lot of Ana in North Texas," other moms joked about her donations.
Martinez says she is "thankful" to all of the moms who came to The Gathering Place to share their breast-feeding experiences and donate their milk.
She noted that the milk bank probably wouldn't have happened if it were not for difficulty in feeding her son.
"If I didn't have all those issues," she said, "(this depot) wouldn't have happened."

One of the largest dog fighting rings in U-S history is shutdown. And some Michiana Volunteers helped make it happen. We first told you about a multi-state dog fighting raid on Monday. 367 pit bulls rescued and 11 people arrested.
Once all those dogs were rescued they had to be taken care of. Two women from Michiana were in Alabama for the past seven days to help. Kelly Adelsperger was there helping the Humane Society. She said, "we had 167 dogs."
She says she knew this raid would be a big one...when she was first asked to help. "the volunteer coordinator said it would be an unprecedented rescue."
Linda Candler, owner of Linda's Camp K-9 in Mishawaka, was also helping with the rescue in Alabama, she said, "we went into a building that was completely a blank slate and we set up kennels for what we thought would be 200 dogs."
Candler said she's never worked so hard. "10 or 12 hours everyday of setting up." But all of that was forgotten when the dogs arrived. "Once they came in it was great. You didn't mind being completely filthy dirty from head to toe."
Adelsperger carried the dogs off the truck and into the kennels. "to just hold those guys and to know that they're safe is probably one of the best feelings in the world for me."
Because when she thinks of the life they've led this far, Adelsperger said, "It makes me sick....some of them appeared to be very emaciated. A lot of scars throughout their whole body."
It's made a lot of people angry. U.S. Attorney George Beck commented on the case saying, "I believe if Dante were alive today and were rewriting the Inferno, that the lowest places in hell would be reserved for those who commit cruelty to our animals and to our children."
But the rescue is cause for celebration. Once all the dogs were safe the Sheriff of Coffee County Alabama said, "This is one sheriff that's happy, happy, happy!"
Candler and Adelsperger agree. "It was an awesome day for the dogs," said Adelsperger.
Both Linda and Kelly said they easily got attached to the dogs down there. And they said there's a good chance they'll go back down again to help later. The dogs are considered evidence so they could be at those kennels for about 90 days. They'll then go to rescue groups and be put up for adoption. So that's a plea the women have, they said rescue groups need to step up right now and help. The Humane Society and ASPCA will do all they can but it's a lot of dogs, so they'll need a lot of help.

Here's a number for you: 1.5 exabytes. That's how much worldwide mobile data traffic was generated each month in 2013, according to Cisco -- a leap of 81 percent over 2012.
The report has even more intriguing observations about our mobile network consumption habits here and now, and not just in the future.
The smarter the device, the more bandwidth needed
Cisco's numbers have just been published in a new whitepaper, the (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update, which takes current trends in mobile devices and networks and extrapolates them through 2018. Some of those extrapolations are debatable -- it's always a potshot to project four to five years ahead -- but the immediate trends are eye-opening.
Cisco attributes the explosion in data use to the proliferation of what it calls "smart devices," namely "[devices] having advanced computing and multimedia capabilities with a minimum of 3G connectivity." By 2018, claims Cisco, 93 percent of mobile devices in use will fit those criteria.
Another major variable is the variety of the connection involved, with 3G, 4G, and LTE data connections being prime movers. Interestingly, the report suggests that 4G and beyond won't grow at the expense of 3G; rather, the two will grow in concert well into 2018, with 3G ferrying an estimated 59 percent of total traffic and 4G carrying 15 percent. The difference is that 4G will carry the majority of the connections and data. Meanwhile, 2G data is believed to be the biggest loser of the bunch, dropping from 68 percent of traffic today down to 25 percent in 2018.
Tiered plans don't slow down users
The most intriguing tidbit served up by the report, as far as current mobile network traffic stats go, is the effect of tiered pricing plans on mobile data use. Cisco claims tiered plans, which have become the majority of plans offered by mobile carriers, have "not constrained usage patterns." Rather, they've "[narrowed] the bandwidth consumption gap between tiered and unlimited data plan connections."
In other words, the usage share of the bottom 99 percent of mobile users is growing faster than the top 1 percent. The precise mechanism for this remains unclear; it might be the fact that the lowest available tier of data service has its cap set high enough now that people are inclined to simply use as much of it as they can.

Senate Candy Drawer
March 19th, 2013 by Rosa
When I was a kid, I loved visiting my mom at work because she had a candy drawer full of full-sized candy bars. Apparently, the U.S. Senate has a rough equivalent, a "candy desk" hiding in the back row of the Republican side.
That Senate candy drawer came in handy for Rand Paul as a source of sugar and calories during his filibuster. Everyone should have a candy drawer!

The top five musicals of all time? That's a toughie, and it's doubtful anyone could come up with a shortlist that any two theatre fans would agree on. But the top five rock musicals — that's a little easier.
Certainly there have been rock musicals since the show that is arguably the first rock musical, Hair, debuted more than 40 years ago, but far fewer than musical musicals. So the standouts are easier to pluck out. What's more, some of the choices are so obvious, you can't err too much in compiling the list. If you're going to talk top rock musicals of all time, you pretty much have to include Hair, which started everything. Ditto, Rent, which revived the category a quarter century later.
The five shows were decided by the Playbill.com staff. However, to buttress the selections, we asked a variety of artists variously connected to the rock musical genre to kick in their two cents as to why these productions were so remarkable. Some of them—such as Stephen Trask and Michael Mayer—were actually part of the creation of a couple of the shows in question. Others—Marc Shaiman, Stew, Diane Paulus—are fellow artists and appreciators.Continued...

Finding the cemetery where your relatives are buried in the Denver area can be a challenge. The earliest cemeteries, Mount Prospect and Acacia, have been moved and their records have not survived. To complicate matters, death records in Denver were not required until 1900 and they were not consistently recorded until about 1925. A list of Denver cemeteries is shown to the right.
Mount Prospect was the first organized cemetery in Denver. It was located on an old Arapahoe Indian burial ground, today this area is known as Cheesman Park. This site was selected by William Larimer and William Clancey during the winter of 1858-1859. The Kansas Territorial Legislature granted a charter on February 27, 1860. Jack O'Neill, a victim of a gunfight, was the first burial on March 30, 1859. The cemetery was eventually divided into sections for Roman Catholic burials (Mount Calvary), Masonic and Improved Order of Odd Fellows, Jewish (Hebrew Burying and Prayer Ground) and Mount Prospect or Prospect Hill. Mount Prospect, later called City Cemetery, had areas set aside for burials of paupers, Chinese, and members of the Grand Army of the Republic, a Civil War Union veterans organization.
In 1872 the City of Denver applied to Congress for title to the land. On November 15, 1873 Denver gained ownership and Mount Prospect became City Cemetery. Riverside Cemetery opened in 1876 and burials in City Cemetery declined. In 1890 Denver was granted permission by Congress to use the land for a park. In 1893 burials were ordered stopped and 788 bodies were removed to Riverside Cemetery. In August 1893 the Denver Park Commission gave notice that families had 90 days to remove their loved ones' remains and that after that time no bodies were to be removed as the entire area would be planted in grass. About 4,200 bodies from City Cemetery remain beneath the sod of Cheesman Park.
Mount Calvary was the Roman Catholic section of Mount Prospect and later City Cemetery. In 1890 Denver was granted permission to use the cemetery lands for a park and the Diocese of Denver secured an injunction preventing enforcement of the order against their property. The last burial in Mount Calvary was in 1908. In 1891 Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Wheat Ridge opened and many of the bodies from Mount Calvary were removed there. In 1950 the remaining 8,600 bodies were removed to Mount Olivet. Today this is the site of the Denver Botanic Gardens.
The Jewish section was known as Hebrew Burying and Prayer Ground. The local Jewish congregations did not hold title to their section and were not able to prevent the closure of the cemetery. In 1896 the Hebrew Cemetery Association purchased a section known as Emanuel in Riverside Cemetery. In 1911 Congregation Emanuel purchased 15 acres within Fairmount Cemetery, also called Emanuel. In 1923 the Jewish Cemetery Committee reported that removals from the Hebrew Burying and Prayer Ground had been completed.
Acacia Cemetery, located in the town of Highland between what is now 29th and 32nd Avenues and Tejon and Zuni Streets, was purchased in 1866 by Union Masonic Lodge No. 7, Denver Masonic Lodge No. 5, and Denver Chapter No. 12, Royal Arch Masons. The cemetery was opened and lots were sold in May of 1867. The southwest quarter of the tract was sold to the Improved Order of Odd Fellows, I.O.O.F. The cemetery was open until the late 1870s when the bodies were removed to City Cemetery. In 1872 sections for the Masons and Odd Fellows were set aside in City Cemetery. In 1893 the bodies were again moved, this time to Riverside Cemetery. In 1881 the entire tract of Acacia Cemetery was sold to George Tritch who filed a plat under the name of the "Union Addition" in the City of Denver.

This article is part of the Newbie Blogger Initiative (NBI) and meant for advice for new bloggers! Find out more about NBI.
Writing for the web is different than the writing you were taught in school. In school, you were given structure for your essays that you had to follow.
While I wouldn't recommend you totally throw out what you know about writing essays as it probably is a good idea your post has a basic topic that you are talking about and have supporting paragraphs but there is one thing you need to know when writing for a post on the web.
People Don't Read – They Scan
There may be a few folks who will actually read your entire article word for word but the reality is most will not. I can attest to this in the number of questions I get on guides I write where the answer to their question is in the guide, they just didn't read it.
In the first couple seconds of opening your article, your reader will judge if they will actually read your article. They will look at your opening paragraph and scan down the page and see if this is something of interest to them.
How do you capture the scanner's attention?
- Headers separating your thoughts into categories to grab attention
- Bulleted lists to quickly scan details in an organized fashion.
- Stress important words and phrases with tools such as bold, italics, highlights or color (avoid using underlines as in the web world that = hyperlink)
- Keep your paragraphs short.
- Images! Draw people's eyes to a topic by using appropriate images that enhance your story or subject
Re-arrange Your Paragraphs
Start your paragraphs with your most impactful statement. If a scanner is going to read any part of a paragraph, it's going to be the first sentence. Especially if the paragraph is near the top of the page or the start of a new sub-header. Let the reader know what you're trying to tell them in that paragraph and you could capture their attention to read the rest.
It's Your Blog – You Decide
Now I certainly am not a writing wizard with all the answers. To be perfectly honest, one of the most difficult classes I've ever taken in school was Creative Writing which you would think would be pretty good skill to have for a blog owner.
Just because someone took the time to give you "rules" for writing on the web doesn't mean you need to follow them all. Your content and your blog are yours and it should reflect your unique style. If something here simply doesn't jive with you and your style, I advise to forget it. You are the boss of your blog!
