text: Morning Joe Won't Let Go of Zimmerman Racism Claims Print article Send a Tip by Brandon Darby 14 Jul 2013 post a comment MSNBC host Joe Scarborough penned an op-ed at Politico Sunday which takes a long-contested claim as fact—that George Zimmerman used racially-charged statements against Trayvon Martin. After a jury found Zimmerman not guilty on second-degree murder or lesser charges, the "Morning Joe" host wrote that the Florida man escaped justice for a multitude of alleged sins: I am angry that George Zimmerman could chase a teenager through his neighborhood, ignore a dispatcher's pleas, make racially charged statements, provoke a confrontation with a young man armed only with Skittles, and pull the trigger that ended that teenager's life, only to walk away without as much as a misdemeanor attached to his name. [emphasis added] Though Scarborough did not enumerate these racial statements, the reference likely points to one of two incidents, both chronicled in a timeline of Zimmerman coverage from Breitbart News's John Nolte. In March of 2012, CNN asserted Zimmerman had called Martin a "f---ing coon" in his 911 call shortly before the altercation which left Martin dead and Zimmerman seriously injured. Weeks later, the network retracted the report, after an audio specialist cleaned up the recording and concluded Zimmerman said "cold" instead of the alleged racial slur. The other possible accusation of racial insensitivity comes from an incident wherein Scarborough's employer NBC News edited Zimmerman's 911 audio in a way which critics suggested racial profiling. The edit made Zimmerman sound as though he connected Martin's ethnicity to his suspicious behavior when, in fact, a dispatcher asked him directly to describe Martin's race. As told by Nolte: On the storied Today Show, NBC News told America Zimmerman said this on the 911 call: Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black. When the truth is that the unedited audio actually went like this: Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about. Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic? Zimmerman: He looks black. ... Eventually, several NBC producers would be fired (without being named), and Zimmerman would file a lawsuit against NBC; it remains unresolved. Scarborough's editorial opened with an indictment of "the vulgar state of American political culture," attacking conservative and progressive media for "hyperbolic political pronouncements on a judicial process that few of them knew anything about." He ended with an admonition for Republican politicians and pundits to change their ways, lest they experience political fallout over the Zimmerman case. "[I understand] why over 90 percent of African American voters have been voting against GOP presidential candidates for most of my life," Scarborough wrote. "Conservative commentary and GOP stand-your-ground laws only exacerbated that divide. If Republicans are to take back the White House anytime in the next generation, that reality has to change."

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - WINK News Call for Action gets results for all kinds of requests, but we want to tell you about one so unusual it really struck a cord with us. A woman asked us to help get her beloved family pet's ashes back. She told us the vet gave away her dog's ashes and wouldn't refund her money.
"I'm to the mad stage now. I spent two weeks crying at the drop of a hat," said Michelle Holt.
Michelle had been trying for weeks to either get her dog's ashes back, or her money back, and she wasn't having any luck.
"I just wanted her home," she told us.
Michelle's 13-year-old golden retriever Kellie had a stoke in January. She and her husband knew it was Kellie's time.
"My husband called me from the vet's office and asked me what we wanted to do with her," Michelle recalled. "And we had said that we had wanted her cremated so that we could either bury her under the tree in the backyard-- this had been her only home."
Despite the traumatic event of having to put down their beloved dog, they felt like Kellie was in good hands.
"He assured me that when he dropped her off, they were very nice. They put her on a blanket and they took care of her and that was when he left," Michelle explained.
A few weeks later, they received a message from the veterinary clinic that their dog's remains were ready to pick up. But when Michelle and her husband went to pick up Kellie's remains, they were told the ashes were gone.
"He then came out to the truck, sat in the driver's seat, totally speechless and I asked him what's wrong, what's going on? He said, Michelle is there any chance that somebody else came up here to pick Kellie's ashes up..." Michelle said. "Then I asked him why? What's the matter? And he said well they said they just gave her away to somebody else about a half hour ago. We were both speechless. Dumbfounded."
After arguing with the clinic the Holts complained to us.
"Not having her back and knowing that she's been buried in a dignified way that she deserved has been horrible. Horrible. That's not what I wanted for her at all," said Michelle.
We called the vet's office and within 24-hours they had not only cut a check to the Holt family, but they had also called their other clients and found Kellie's ashes!
Over the phone, the clinic's manager told us she wanted to make things better and felt very bad over what had happened. We're happy to report that the Holt family met with the clinic manager, got their dog back, their money back and an apology.

How Loyola Makes Flu Shot Compliance Soar
"But at the end of the day my number one answer," Parada says, "is that it's not about you, the healthcare worker. It's not about the worker's right to get the vaccine or not get the vaccine. It's about the responsibility to make sure that I don't make my patients sick.
"And if I can reduce the odds that I'm going to catch a vaccine-preventable contagious disease, I should do that because it's going to reduce the odds that I will transmit the disease to all our vulnerable patients that we care for."
Parada also justified Loyola's policy of paying for and distributing the vaccine to all its workers for free.
"There's a fiduciary responsibility on the part of a healthcare organization to try to diminish the risk to healthcare workers. They're at higher risk of catching the flu because when anyone gets (a severe case of influenza), they're going to show up in the hospital. And this vaccine reduces the risk by more than half."
Parada says that while Loyola was one of just a few hospitals in the country to initiate the policy when it did, today many more organizations refuse employment to those who won't get their annual flu shot.
"It's still the minority of hospitals, but it's not nearly as rare as it was. Each year more hospitals adopt these policies."

Becks offloads
Posh Porsche on eBay
David Beckham is offloading his Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible on eBay ahead of an impending return to Premiership football at Tottenham. The wheels cost Becks £100k new back in 2008, and he apparently stumped another £50k having it modified to an all-black "murdered out" state. Back's black Porsche The motor boasts " …
Murdered is right
What a horrible thing to do to a nice car :(
Well, he does have a reputation to uphold, right?
After all he's well known for his taste...
its 'on-trend'...
The mat black paint job is 'IN'. Audi, Ford, etc all starting to offer the flat look paint job.
It is fecking terrible though.
I agree
On the other hand if he can buy a car for 100, add 50, barely drive it for 2 years then with 6 days remaining 200 is already bid, then he should do this more often.
Just don't do it to any car I love.
remember the exchange rates....
£100k + £50k = $230k
Matte Black
Is often a vinyl wrap applied over the top of the paint job. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fliquibzhQ from 1:33 onwards. Personally, I think the RS500 looks better with "real" paint than the plastic crap, but hey ho...
but if in include depreciation?
but he's still up if you consider the amount anyone elses car would have depreciated after 2 years
It's matt black.
Who the hell would be stupid eno... oh right yeah THEY painted it black..
Nice car?
I thought it was quite appropriate, Horrible thing for a Horrible car
The epotome of stupidity
A fool and their money can destroy a perfectly good Porsche in no time. Only Honda boys drive flat paint cars.
Eptiome the fool
Yours would be green, I take it?
good lord
I stupidly went to the murdered out web site
and then, even more stupidly read some of the comments from the rocket scientists who visit.
I can feel my brain leaking out my ass in an attempt to get away from my eyes as punishment
You Sir
Owe me a new keyboard
it's LA
They're too busy sunning themselves by the pool to read books. Feckin lizard people I tell ya'
(name the comedian I just paraphrased and win a free interwebz!)
new kbd reqd...
one of them nice murdered out uber fasionable ones pls
Comes in any colour... as long as it's black.
50k for a 5 litre can of Hammerite Matt Black???
Sir, you beat me to it.
Was thinking along the lines of Ronseal "Blackboard Paint" the stuff you used to make your Hillman Imp matt black...
Mines is the one with the chalk in the pocket.
David create the aution himself?
Looks like David might have created the auction himself... Looks like he wants a deposit of $500 within 72 hours of the auction close and then gives a generous 3 days to cough up the rest! Wot a div...
Stuff goes here?
"heated front seats, parking assist...thicker leather steering wheel"
Heated seats? Posh needs that to make up for her skinny arse not providing enough insulation.
Parking assist? I've seen some Beckham moves that warrant something similar on-field.
Thicker...steering wheel? No comment.
May I correct you, sir, in that, in actuality, you just posted a comment.
Apart from that, that design looks nice (Tamiya XF69 NATO Black?).
But that's just because I like tanks and consider cars of whatever couleur a tad limp-wristed.
Isn't there some old saying along the lines of "to those that have, great gifts shall be given"?
So one of the richest men in sport can make a profit on a car, whereas anyone else who might actually notice the cost gets to watch their wheels depreciate.
Richness is its own reward.
It's just passed the million mark.
When the auction ends, we will be able to identify the one man in the world who is both richer and thicker than St David of Wembley.
Lord Rooney of Cheshire then?
Million? Not any more.
Back down to $125K and reserve not met.
Presumably this the auction is attracting a fair number of jokers...
He paid an extra 50K?
For a can of spray paint and some masking tape?
Herr Doktor Porsche...
..will be hitting the rev limiter in his grave.
@Simon Cresswell
I don't think so. These cars are just meant to quickly identify a rich guy with few brain cells. Others use plain VW cars. Reliable, functional, economic and well designed to haul a family and their furniture purchases from Ikea to home.
This car only hauls the rich guy and one smart person. Who is female of course.
You mean flipping arse about face and going through the scenery backwards?
Oh, hang on, that's normal behaviour ;-)
Definately distinctive
I like the look of the car. It's definitely distinctive. The basic styling of the 911 hasn't changed much over the years. Porsche's look is clearly classic, but it is also rather mundane compared to other vehicles in it's price range. Beckham's approach is certainly not for all tastes, but it would command a second look, even from the ultra-wealthy residents of Beverly Hills. In fact, that may be the entire point.
Mine's the one with the salmiakki in the pocket.
...and the reserve is still not met????
DB you really are taking the piss surely...then again some muppet will buy it, so what I meant to say was....kudos!
It's your round - you'll be able to afford it soon
Back down to...
What I don't understand is $50k and no cup holders?
One million? :-0
Christ. It's a 997 turbot ragtop for gods sake.
Matt black doesn't suit the ragtops (GT3s look good in it) and it's a bloody automatic.
Tragic. I'd rather have a 964RS with a full cage and a set of slicks, thanks....
Steven R
It looks like him and a mate have sprayed themselves in a lock-up down in Peckham! I reckon his kids could have done a better job of it!
What a pile of tripe!
matt black, blinged up tat
997 RSR please...... Cheaper, quicker in the twisties, actually handles, equally impractical, and thankfully, bling free......
"It's just passed the million mark."
"It's just passed the million mark."
But are any of the bidders serious, or are they all idiots and/or shills?
eBay/PayPal/Donahoe: Dead Men Walking.
Yeh but....
... it's a US left hand drive model. So if you brought it to the UK it will cost you to get it converted.
And you though £200k was cheap.
why would you have it converted? Just drive it left hand, its not complicated. I drive a LHD us import.
Also, for those that care, converting it would ruin the cars history and bang goes your investment. which is surely the *only* reason anyone would buy this car.
Could someone please call the Style Police? I'm laughing too hard to pick up the phone.
Well I actualy quite like it
Looks distinctive but not garish unlike most custom cars. Then again I have never really suffered from the pathological petty jealousy displayed by most comentards.
Since when did random POS 911 Turbos get classified as supercars?!
murdered out? old hat
The police cars in the original 1986 RoboCop film were painted flat black:
So this blonde college student answers an add for part time work. She shows up at the house and the old guy there offers her $50 to paint his porch. She agrees and goes off with her big paint can and brush. The old guy's wife says, "That was a bit unfair. Our porch goes all the way around the house. It's a big job and you only offered her $50." He replies, "Well, I'm not forcing her to do it." A few minutes later the girl comes back and says, "OK, Mister, it's done, but I'm a bit confused. I'm pretty sure that's not a Porshe. I think it's a Ferrari."
A remote CD changer?
How wonderfully 20th century. Even Volvo have stopped offering that as an option.
Reason for selling.
It's a matte black car in California, and with heated seats no less.
thick shit...
He really is a thick shit if it takes 50k to "black" it out.
Even if I just gave a car to someone here and asked them to do that, you wouldn't really be asked for more than 10k, maybe a little more depending on if they actually powder coat the alloys or just buy others.
Looks like 23 appeared more times on that car than it did on the LA Galaxy pitch.
I'm more used to seeing that style of finish on old motorbikes, where it is known as the "Rat bike" look... There are even prizes for the best "rat" at shows.
Normally it's performed on an old knackered bike, and applied from a spray can. It's a bit of a joke... Looks like someone took it seriously in the car world. Oh well, I guess the car is German.
The listing describes a "thicker steering wheel"
Presumably for a thicker steerer?
$$ Efficient
Awesome -$34.23/mile. Sounds as good as some of the "deals" the US government gets. Wonder if you can move a fully loaded aircraft carrier a mile for $34.23 :D

About Alexa Palmer
Tracy and her brother Chris discovered this wonderful, but neglected home in 2005. Though the home was showing its age of more than 100 years, the home's underlying grand and proud features were clearly evident. Drawing on Tracy's passion for historic homes, her talents as a designer, and inspired by their late grandmother, the next several years were spent painstakingly bringing the house back to its stately origins, while making sure it was equipped with all of the present day conveniences.
'Our motto throughout the restoration was 'quality takes time', and we think its effects can be seen in the details throughout the home. Welcome to our home and the fantastic town of Walla Walla, Washington! '
Alexa Palmer purchased this house in 2005

Alviro Petersen made his ODI debut as far back as 2006 against Zimbabwe and then had to wait another two years for another chance on the tour to Bangladesh in 2008. It looked as though he might never gain regular international recognition until he scored almost 1 400 first-class runs during the 2008-09 season.
He continued to shine at domestic level and his weight of runs earned him a Test debut against India in 2010 at Eden Gardens, one of the great grounds of the world. No doubt inspired by the occasion he became the third Protea to score a century on Test debut (after Andrew Hudson and Jacques Rudolph). Although he is only a part-time bowler he also took a wicket in his first over in Test match cricket later the same year in the West Indies.
He and Graeme Smith formed a solid and dependable opening partnership for the Proteas until Petersen had to make way for Jacques Rudolph at the start of the 2011/12 season. However, his domestic form as well as for South Africa A earned him a recall and he re-launched his international career with a second Test century against Sri Lanka and a third in New Zealand.
He then played a career-defining innings of 182 in the second Test against England at Headingley in 2012 that also took his career average into the 40s. During that series he completed 1 000 Test runs.

Friday Five: Mental Institutions
- 5. "Daddy, Come and Get Me" – Dolly Parton
This song was a Top 40 hit for Parton in 1970. She sings from the point of view of a woman "crazy with jealousy" who's been wrongfully institutionalized by the guy she loves…because he wants to see someone else. You know what else is crazy? Dolly's outfit in the video below.
- 4. "Committed to Parkview" – The Highwaymen
Johnny Cash wrote this song for Porter Wagoner, who recorded a stunning version 25 years later on his final album, Wagonmaster. The lyrics—about an institution outside of Nashville that both Cash and Porter spent time in—paint pictures of patients that include a man who thinks he's Hank Williams, a "superstar's ex-drummer," and a singer-songwriter who repeatedly attempts suicide. Whether you're listening to Wagoner's version or The Highwaymen, you're hearing a damn good song.
- 3. "Sanitarium Blues" – Townes Van Zandt
Knowing Van Zandt's life story makes this song even more heartwrenching and horrifying. From To Live's To Fly: The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt, written by John Kruth:
"[Townes'] memory had been permanently fogged by a series of electric-and insulin-shock treatments he received after being diagnosed as a manic depressive with schizophrenic tendencies in the wake of a nervous breakdown suffered during his sophomore year of college…Van Zandt recalled his parents coming to visit him and the doctor having to reintroduce his mother to him as 'the one with the long hair.'"
- 2. "I Don't Remember Loving You" – John Conlee
This song, penned by Harlan Howard and Bobby Braddock, went to #10 in 1982. In my opinion, Conlee's never sounded better, especially when he sings "If you'll hand me my crayons I'll be glad to take your name/In case I run across the guy you knew/But I don't remember loving you."
- 1. "Rubber Room" – Porter Wagoner
Nobody sings a haunting song quite like Wagoner. This one'll send chills down your spine.
17 Comments
The only song I can think of isn't country – "Knocking 'Round the Zoo" by James Taylor.
Johnny Paycheck's "Pardon Me, I've Got Someone to Kill" fits. And it's polite, too.
Eddie Noack's "Psycho" (You Think I'm Psycho, Mama) is certainly a prelude to an institution song..
Matraca Berg has a "I Don't Remember Loving You" type song called "I Must Have Been Crazy."
In interviews, James Taylor has explained that Fire and Rain, which has been covered by Willie Nelson, Sammi Smith, and Bonnie Bishop, among others, was largely based on reflections about his stay at Austen Riggs, a psychiatric hospital in Stockbridge, MA.
Also, it's not a country song, but Richard Thompson's Behind Gray Walls is haunting.
Johnny Paycheck's "(Like Me)You'll Recover In Time"
Re: Committed to Parkview, I think the best version was the first one — Johnny Cash by his lonesome on the "One Piece at a Time" album.
When I first heard it years ago, I wondered if Tammy Wynette's "'Til I Can Make It on My Own" was written from the perspective of an institutionalized person.
If we're going beyond the confines of the country genre, there's Napoleon XIV's "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha" and the Ramones' "I Want to Be Sedated."
I guess the obvious songs — "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces" — don't qualify because they're not set in a mental institution.
Solid list. The only one I'd suggest adding is Dale Watson's "I Wish I Was Crazy Again." While not about the mental institution per se, it was about the time he was institutionalized, and is a damned beautiful song to boot.
A song where the bar serves as a sanitarium is "We're all here," that Doug Supernaw recorded.
"It's not your normal institution, just a run down bar in Houston…"
Thanks, Juli.
The Porter Wagoner version of "Committed to Parkview" is also worth checking out, just as Juli says above. He adds a whole new dimension to the song. He should've been nominated for a Grammy for his work.
The other song that springs to my mind is Diamond Rio's "It's All In Your Head" from their IV album. It was quite the departure for them at the time and the video (complete with Martin Sheen as the preacher) raised many an eyebrow, but the song is the best current example of the theme in commercial country music.
"It's All In Your Head" may not have been strictly written about an insane person, but after the video, that's the angle everyone will take on the song.
I can't come up with the names of any offhand, but I think a couple of Johnny Paycheck's Little Darling records may have involved mental institutions–They definitely came pretty close.
The only song that comes to mind for me (besides the Conlee classic) is "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," from Metallica's 1986 album Master of Puppets.
"Welcome to where time stands still, no one leaves and no one will…"
Speaking of institutions, has everyone seen the news about Disney pop-starlet Demi Lovato going into rehab this week? Here's the story:
So she has an eating disorder and likes to cut herself in addition to anger control issues eh? I mean how could Joe Jonas have broken up with a gal like that? Then after the break up she stays on the Jonas Brothers tour! Demi really is a glutton for punishment…
PS – The country artist who should be writing the best songs of this nature is Mindy McCready!
Eating disorders and self-mutilitation go hand and hand (around 50% of self cutters have at least one eating disorder) and both kind of make sense in the context of a child star.
It almost seems as if you want your comments to come off as funny; self-destruction is extremely serious and NOTHING to joke about.
I respect anyone who steps up to get help, instead of letting themselves get caught up in a dangrous spiral.
I agree with Timeo, Johnny Cash's version of "Committed to Parkview" is the best.
From the first time, I heard "The Rubber Room" I never know what to think of it. Definitely not many songs like that. It would never be played today.
I'm not familiar with the Dolly Parton song, but as soon as I saw the headline, I hoped you would have the other four songs – and there they were!
Nice job, Juli!
Yep nothing funny about it, seek help if your in trouble

Royal Vacuum cleaners have remained one of the oldest vacuum cleaner manufacturing companies. The company introduced the world's first hand-held vacuum cleaner apart from a range of household and commercial products.
Royal uprights, canister, carpet extractors and central vacuums offer superior performance and convenience. The inventory of Vacuums is huge ranging from the Protege Models, Priviledge, Lightweight to Carpet Extractors, as per your requirements. Each one of these come in several different styles, with their own distinct advantages and disadvantages. While uprights are considered to be the best choice for carpeted surfaces, canisters are preferred for bare floors and stairs.
The Royal stick vacuum is a lightweight option for small, tight spaces including cars. It is also a convenient way to clean up small messes without dealing with the inconvenience of pulling out the heavy upright or canister out of the closet.

Review: Aural Float Presents Space Night Volume IX
By the late 1990s, the terms "downtempo" and "chillout" became synonymous with flat, coffeehouse-friendly dreck peddled to the masses under such titles as Ibiza Beach, Pure Moods and related swill. Despite that, there is good chill music out there, evidenced by the ninth volume of the German Space Night series curated by Elektrolux artist Aural Float. The two-CD set has its share of obligatory filler tracks, but contains new works by veteran artists such as The Orb, the Black Dog and Funki Porcini as well as contributions from R?yksopp and Pascal FEOS.

Sony, Panasonic ready 3D Blu-ray players
3D televisions could cost you a kidney, but 3D Blu-ray players won't be so pricey, as shown with Sony's first product.
Sony and Panasonic both announced their first 3D-ready Blu-ray players today. While Panasonic didn't reveal pricing, Sony said its BDP-S470 will cost $200. That's only $20 more than a comparable Sony Blu-ray player without 3D playback. In addition, the player features BD Live, Bravia Internet video, 1080p DVD upscaling and TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding. It has 1 GB of memory built-in and includes a USB jack for external media.
The player won't ship with Blu-ray enabled, but it'll get the capability this summer through a firmware upgrade. Sony's previously announced models, the BDP-S570 Blu-ray player and the BDV-E770W and BDV-E570 home theaters, will also get the free 3D firmware, as will the Playstation 3. All the new models are shipping now and will be sold at retail next month.
Panasonic, meanwhile, plans to ship four Blu-ray players that are 3D-capable in April, but only in Japan for now. One of these models includes an SDXC jack (just in case anyone's shooting amateur 3D video?) and another is a Blu-ray recorder.
And so the march to 3D continues. Last week, Panasonic opened a 3D Blu-ray authoring facility, allowing the creation of content discs with 3D playback. In the United States, DirecTV and other companies plan to launch 3D channels. Televisions from LG and Sony are planned for later this year, though you can already get a 3D LCD monitor.
In theaters, 3D movies such as Avatar have piqued consumers' interest, but the home technology isn't quite ready yet. Sony seems to be planning ahead with inexpensive 3D Blu-ray players, so when the cost of a 3D television becomes reasonable, consumers will already have one piece of the puzzle.

Anyway ,right off the bat the box says to RTFM... Now any High Def enthusiast worth his salt ,would say 'Hey,I know enough about this stuff to dig right in' and I did. Very small in height,and has a nice sleek look about it ,although there is one small caveat. The front panel controls are in an L shape at the front of the unit,and CANNOT be closed
ala my Panasonic BD35. Not a big thing,but for those who like their controls hidden,this point is something to consider. Plugged in the various connections (HDMI,Toslink,power,etc) and turned on the unit. Mind you,prior to obtaining the unit,I took some BD5/BD9 discs to favorite gadget haven,6th Avenue Electronics in Springfield,New Jersey,and had my eyes on any new reasonably priced Sony BD I could find. They must have known I was coming because the unit I wound up with was connected the the latest Samsung TV positioned right at the front door. Samsung is really crap for BD players,but for TV......This one was phenomenal. Anyway,I tested my BD5 discs in this unit,and was blown away by the extreme brightness and clarity my discs showed. I know it had plenty to do with the TV,but I was happy from the start,and upon returning home,it showed (practically) the same beautiful picture I witnessed at the store. This model has the Netflix access feature (and wouldn't you know, I cancelled my NetFlix account last month ,not anticipating this move) as well as YouTube,and about six or seven other different access methods,which I tried and was very happy with. The sound was very clear,and you were able to hear every nuance from the disc I first played (BD5 of Fifty First Dates-Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore). The load times for the discs have greatly improved,and there is even a setup feature that allows you to get either fast or slow load time,why there is a choice,I have no idea. I mean who would pick the slower option?? The unit also has a provision to use any attached USB drive to play movies ,music or whatever it contained. Last but not Least,it has a provision for 3D,with a firmware upgrade widely publicized to be implemented via Internet this summer ,but as usual ,the caveats are always in the small print. This is what the sticker on the unit itself said about this feature: Requires 3D ready HDTV and HDMI connection,Other 3D accessories (including 3D glasses and emitter) may also be required for proper playback....
PS: My Panasonic BD35 is now for sale ,it has the latest firmware,and is in pristine condition....
The unit was $179 with a 3 year $25 warranty plan that totaled just over $200. I bought many items from this place,and have NEVER had an issue.....

Gerhard Schmidt
Chief Technical Officer, Vice President of Research and Advanced Engineering (Emeritus)
Ford Motor Company
I spent a decade at Ford, before my recent retirement, looking at ways to advance automotive engineering and research. Although my job description was technically the same over those 10 years, the roles I played varied, and I considered myself at times a scientist, an engineer, a teacher and occasionally even a visionary.
The visionary part may be a bit overstated, but one has to be forward-thinking when considering long-term solutions for climate change and how to make better use of natural resources. In the early 2000s, the Company wasn't ready to accept that climate change was a potential threat. We were fortunate that Bill Ford started to address the importance of climate change and translate his own visionary approach into the creation of products that could address the problem.
Yet even when the Company began to recognize the significance of climate change, the business environment at Ford couldn't immediately support the development of potential solutions. A decade ago, nearly three-quarters of the vehicles we were building in North America were trucks and SUVs, which meant it would have been nearly impossible to achieve stringent emission reduction targets along the lines of those that were already in place in Europe.
The biggest challenge initially wasn't just knowing what technologies were available to reduce vehicle emissions, but thinking about what Ford's long-term product portfolio might look like.
Part of the ultimate success story for Ford stems from the fact that the Company fully integrated science into its product and operations decision-making processes. As a scientist, it was incredibly exciting to see Ford begin to integrate sustainability issues into our corporate strategies and to conclude that it was the right thing to do. Today, the Company recognizes that building more fuel-efficient products creates a stronger business. There's no longer a conflict between having a strong business and building more-efficient powertrains and products. Being the best in class in fuel economy (which also means best in class in terms of CO2 emissions) gives Ford a distinct competitive advantage.
When developing new automotive technologies, you're not looking a year or two ahead – you're looking 10 to 15 years out. Every new technology objective at Ford must take into account four essential pillars: safety, quality, environmental sustainability and design. Put another way: Ford automobiles must be safe, clean and smart. After all, if the car doesn't look nice and doesn't offer the right features, customers won't buy it.
To improve a vehicle's carbon footprint, the auto industry must work together and with governments, academics and community organizations. We know already that significant emissions reductions won't be possible simply by improving today's powertrains. The long-term roadmap requires much greater use of battery electrification and other applications, such as fuel cells, and we'll require new infrastructures and transportation systems as a result.
Looking ahead to the future, auto companies will need to deliver a balanced portfolio with alternative energy sources that are tailored to particular regions. For example, in Iceland, where there's a high production of geothermal energy, automobiles might run only on fuel cells. But that wouldn't be practical, for example, in Detroit.
Where environmental sustainability is concerned, the goal must be to make advanced, more-efficient technologies that are affordable for everyone – in other words, "the democratization of technology," which was a philosophy that Henry Ford himself embraced when he started his Company.

As the iPod is quickly becoming a mainstream icon we are seeing a lot of news outlets mentioning the iPod in articles which have nothing to do with iPods. We also see animators, cartoonists and humorists using the iPod as inspiration as well. If you find the iPod used or mentioned in any articles, commentaries, films, movies, TV shows, cartoons, animations, comics, music videos, etc. post it below as a comment and remember to include a link to it if possible.

Prayer Flags
Make Banners of Hope & Peace from Fabric Scraps and Fibers
eBook - 47 Pages
Download your copy of Prayer Flags: Make Banners of Hope & Peace from Fabric Scraps and Fibers today!
Pattern Compilations
When I saw the mini-flags in the issue of Quilting Arts Magazine, I wanted to see more. This e-book shows all the mini-flags sent to QA.
I especially enjoyed reading the prayers for each of the flags and see that how no matter where you live, life's struggles and our prayers are the same everywhere.

Prayer Flags. These flags and the Prayer Flag movement are covered in the first 12 pages. There are articles and instructions for making the basic flag; lots of colorful examples too! The rest of the 47 page book is devoted to making miniature flags. This is the equivalent of going from a potholder to an inchie! Again, there are instructions and TONS of colorful examples. Too bad more space wasn't devoted to the regular sized flags.

I was looking for a variety of examples of prayer flags because I want to start a prayer flag ministry at my congregation.

I would have appreciated more information on just what "Prayer Flags" are - recycled relics from an ancient religion.
"A prayer flag is a colorful rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas. They are used to bless the surrounding countryside and for other purposes. Prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bon, which predated Buddhism in Tibet. In Bon, shamanistic Bonpo used primary-colored plain flags in healing ceremonies in Nepal. They are unknown in other branches of Buddhism.[1] Traditional prayer flags include woodblock-printed text and images."....
"....Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are sacred, they should be treated with respect. They should not be placed on the ground or used on clothing. Old prayer flags should be burned."

Reds' right-back for the next 10 years.
"Obviously Rafa had a trying first half but he coped well in the second half. He calmed down.
"He's a very impetuous boy. He's enthusiastic and wants to win every ball and, of course, he committed himself far too early on a lot of occasions.
"In the second half, he was back to the form he has shown all season and he did really well. For a young boy to recover like that says a lot for him so that was pleasing to get that second-half performance out of him."
– Sir Alex Ferguson

This chest looked so good on the site that I had to buy it and I am so happy we did. The drawers are deep and wide and it's very sturdy. It really completes the room. It was a lot less than all the stores we visited who wanted too much $$. Thanks.
I purchased 2 for use as night stands with a cream color bedroom set. They are perfect. Much nicer than higher pried pieces I shopped locally. You will be pleased with this purchase. Unusual and the color is better than pictured.
Chest is the color expected and the painted finish looks satisfactory. The round ball legs screw on and I cannot get the chest to level out on these legs. I had to do the old trick of putting cardboard under the legs that are too high. Otherwise, the chest drawers move smoothly and it is a small size that works well as an end table for our bed.

Guestbook comments from the owner
We just returned from a week at Harborside. My wife and I took our son (14) and daughter (10). We had a great time. We got some great advice here on what to bring, ways to save money, etc., so I won't repeat it all here. Here are a few do's and don'ts from our experience.
Bring a large suitcase with as much non perishable food as you can. Bring bagels, chips, snacks, peanut butter, mac and cheese, coffee, coffee filters, canned tuna, cereal, snack bars, etc. We had a large roller that we packed full. It was almost empty upon return.
Take the daily shuttle from Harborside to the Super Value grocery store to buy cold goods. They are much cheaper there than at the resort or the small grocery store near the Marina Village. We bought deli lunch meat and cheese, bread, soda, condiments, fruit, frozen waffles and pizza, milk, OJ. The shuttle was $7 round trip and they gave you about an hour to shop. With the stuff we brought from home and the stuff from the grocery store, we ate all our breakfasts in the condo. About half of the time we made lunch and brought it to the pool area. Two nights we made dinner in the condo for the kids and my wife and I went out for dinner.
Buy a couple of value meals at the water park and KEEP THE CUPS. Everything is outrageously priced here, but if you keep your cups, you can get all the soda you like. The dispensers are self service.
Go to Carmines (Italian restaurant in the village) and Virgil's (BBQ in the Cove). Both are rather pricy, but have great service, and great food. Both are family style, so 1 or two entrees is enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. The frozen Margaritas at Virgils are awesome.
Take a snorkel or dive trip with Stuart Cove. They were very good. Saw lots of fish and many Caribbean reef sharks at the 3rd stop.
Definitely go on Leap of Faith and Abyss. Great slides. We love the rapids river as well.
Try to book you taxis in advance. If you don't, you get overcharged. We paid $50 on arrival and $60 on departure. If you book in advance, you can get better deals.
Try out the pool at the Harborside, It's very big, uncrowded and nice. A great change of pace from the madness of the Aquaventure
Don't eat at the Point restaurant at Harborside. Terrible service and mediocre food with a limited menu.
Don't go for a full 7 days if you can help it. 5 or 6 is plenty.

Benefits of volunteering are wide. One of the biggest ones is personal satisfaction, but personal satisfaction cannot feed your hungry stomach and pay the bills. Are you interested in doing good while your wallet do not have to bleed? Everybody who did something just for passion, not hard cash, early realised that it is not kinda possible to
survive thrive and maintain their economical status. What if your activity cannot generate any income to cover your time?
You are doomed.
Well, not really seriously. I would like to share some experience up in here.
I live in relatively small city, where the labour market have been kinda limited to tech industry jobs – mechanical turks. To be honest, I do not prefer to spend 8 to 12 hours in a factory day after day for the rest of my life. When I've grow up, internet has come.
Have to skip the boring part now. Simply put, as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote,
"A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born."
Is it possible to be paid volunteer?
Everybody knows that volunteering is for free. But duh, what if somebody just wants to do something meaningful and there is no option how to pay the bills? Food, Culture, Living, ….
Sell your skills with added value
How you can grow into volunteer with earned income in reasonable time? Do not hesitate and start using your computer and internet today. The internet volunteering does have really big advantage in speed and economy of provided work. Time effectivity of microvolunteering jobs is much more larger than time effectivity of physical volunteering where you need to spend a lot of time on commuting etc. The problem everybody knows, excluding digital commuters.
Provide your service to nonprofits
You do not have to learn new and complicated things to start. The secret is how-to. Just explore the world of nonprofit's needs – they are very similar to business needs in fact. The crux is that many nonprofits easily do not have resources to perform some tasks. If you can spend 5 minutes to 1 hour on volunteering, you can make a big difference, even if the time is very limited.
These include:
- Graphic works
- Translations, copywriting
- Legal, financial and other consultations
- Voiceovers
- And many more
Show Your Skills
Build up number of microtasks for nonprofits you choose, nurture contacts and provide them with value as like as anytime in past – is it your personal commitment to give back or you are just passionate about doing good? Do it now and do it well.
- Build your arsenal you can provide to nonprofits
- Customize your arsenal to be attractive for businesses
- Sell your skills for instance on Fiverr where yours offer is the advertised one, not a buyers one.
- Show the real results of your microvolunteering and get paid for same skills
- Now you can find balance between paid and volunteering work
Transform your practice into socially responsible job
The fun begin here. Take the opportunity and start building your own personal brand. Build up a website, do even more good and you will get some honor back. Thats it! People from nonprofit sector who realize the value of your time are very grateful and actually, they will make you happy about what are you doing. It is called meaningful work. Social Entepreneur is a buzzword, point of view, occupation, dream and many other things.
I am not here to put down just another social entrepreneur definition. The reason is that everybody needs to read a lot and feel a lot of things before (s)he can say its own definition. I am not so experienced to be eligible for it. But what I would to say is that social entrepreneur does not have to follow one and only one cause.
Why? Because of sustainability of yours job position.
What happens if your cause can not generate funds to cover staff early enough? What happens if your crowdsourcing fails? What happens if long-term obstacle appear? Your cause and thus your whole social entrepreneurs plan is doomed. Now, seriously. Game over, insert coin. Play again.
Be Your Own Boss – Volunteer and get paid by professionals
Everytime, you need to offer something valuable to nonprofits. It is the added value of your manpower, your difference, something what makes you more acceptable by socially-conscious people.
Your business cannot be separated from the social mission. Toms Shoes, for example, donates a pair of shoes for every pair sold. The social impact is intrinsically tied to the business proposition; without it, Toms is just another shoe company.

Use money earned on selling your work to transform your job position into social entrepreneurism – make yourself independent contractor, purchase turnkey business, build up your authority with related blogposts, offer low-upkeep services and products to private sector and do not hesitate to use half of your income to pay time for volunteering.
- Run a website hosting reseller
- Run mobile apps service
- Sell Fundraising Products
- Sell a book with your knowledge
- Get a digital product or any profitable whitelabel business opportunity
This way you will be able to spend more of your real time on your passionate causes and less time with your business clients. Time for your personal growth, family and friends.
Because of you, somebody will have better life.
At this moment, I can personally pay all my bills and sales are not rapidly, but constantly growing. Thank you for this opportunity to work, so far, on more than 150 projects – for nonprofits as like as for businesses who are serious about their social impact.
So, why to volunteer with earned income?
The more good you will do, the more you will get back. You will be able to do good without struggles about financial part of your life. And remember – do not spend all of your money on profaneness – build up your arsenal of weapons for good.
Satisfy your business customers, show them the value they help to provide for nonprofits and be sure that they will be willing to giveaway you some coffee credit for even more good.
You do not have to found new organization to have an impact on the world. But you should be founder of yours career.

Benefits of Volunteering are just awesome
Now you see that benefits of volunteering are not limited "only" to your personal satisfaction. You can even make your living if you are able to fuse your skills, your passion to do something meaningful and portion of healthy self-promotion. And the best part is that you do not have to invent something new – just incorporate piece of will to your current offerings.

Two firefighters positions may be axed
Published Date Written by Barbara Tetreault"It's a stark reality," he told Fire Chief Randall Trull and Assistant Fire Chief Thaddeus Soltys at Monday's budget meeting. "This year it's probably not likely we will fund the two positions".
In his budget request, Trull actually asks for increasing the force by two positions. Currently there are two shifts of five firefighters and two shifts of four firefighters. But Trull said in actuality, the department runs with an initial response crew of four because two of the current positions are floaters who fill in for firefighters out sick or on vacation.
He said cutting two positions would definitely reduce the department's effectiveness in providing service to the city. He said a minimum of four firefighters is needed to respond to a structure fire and five is ideal. Reducing the staffing level below four on duty increases the risk to fire fighters. Trull said some of the injuries firefighters have had are because they are forced to multi-task at fires.
"I certainly don't recommend laying off staff," Trull said.
The chief said the city is blessed with an excellent fire department but noted the average age on the force is 40. As the workforce ages, he wrote that the possibility of injury in a high-risk public safety job increases as well. Two firefighters are expected to retire in 2014.
Trull said the city still has a lot of fires. In fiscal 2012, the department responded to 399 calls for service. There were 16 structural fires, an increase of four percent. Almost half of the calls were for residential properties.
The chief said the department did not request increases in other areas of the budget to focus on its priority of safe staffing levels.
In addition to the career staff, the department has a 13-member call department. Members of the call force receive $20 a month for attending training and are paid hourly per call. Trull said the majority of call members have full time jobs that impact their ability to respond to fires.
Members of the regular and call department completed over 1,500 hours of certification training in the last fiscal year. The department received an $18,000 grant to cover the cost of specialized training.
On the prevention side, Trull continues to use state statute to force property owners to remove fire damaged and dilapidated buildings. This year, he is working on 155B orders for six properties.
Soltys said the department conducted 140 inspections in fiscal 2012 and considerable time has been spent in recent months identifying shortcomings in the inspection program. The manager's budget shows the department collected $9,174 in inspection fees in fiscal 2012. Soltys said he projects the department will generate almost $16,000 in fiscal 2014 just from inspections of multi-family buildings. Grenier said inspection revenues as not as high as he would like but noted they are increasing.
Councilor Roland Theberge and Mike Rozek commended the department. Rozek said he is proud of the force and recognizes the officers work hard. Theberge said he appreciates the department's efforts to get grants.
Grenier said the council is telling all city departments to tighten their budgets. He noted the school department was asked to come back with a flat budget and the police commission was instructed to cut its budget by about $125,000. He suggested departments develop standard operating procedures to operate with reduced budget.
"This is really crunch time," Grenier said.
