For the life of me, I've never truly understood why some drivers say the things they do when stopped for traffic violations. Sometimes, it's almost as if they're trying to talk an officer into issuing them a ticket.
Believe it or not, a fair portion of whether you are "cited" depends on your attitude when stopped. Sometimes, your attitude can dictate the outcome of the stop. Plainly stated, if you act like a jerk to the officer, you're going to get the ticket.
True, there are some officers who are so strict on traffic enforcement, they would write their own mother a ticket. Every department has a few. There are officers who will cite you no matter your demeanor. You violated the law; therefore, you receive a ticket. Case closed.
I remember one Washington State Patrol trooper who said, "When people ask me, 'Where's my warning?' I tell them, 'The speed limit sign was your warning.'"
Mechanical violations are known as "fix-it tickets," while driver-initiated actions (speeding, failure to stop for red lights) are "moving violations." If you have a broken brake light, it's not the end of the world. The officer isn't particularly interested in hearing any excuses for mechanical violations. A ticket for the deficient item ensures that you have now been notified of the violation and must fix it.
A moving violation is different, and it can cost you your driving privileges. With these violations, most officers want to hear your reasoning behind the violation before deciding if you deserve a citation.
There are usually two schools of thought. The first is that the driver should be cited no matter what, and the second is is that the driver is most likely going to be cited, but the police officer will want to hear what he says first. It depends on the officer, what training he or she has received and what works for them.
It's no surprise that officers assigned to traffic enforcement are the strictest. Officers with the State Patrol are walking traffic code encyclopedias. Most city and county sheriff's departments have their own traffic enforcement officers. With these officers, traffic enforcement is their main job, along with investigating related incidents.
When an officer activates his emergency lights, he is telling you to pull over, and pull over now — not when you're through with your phone conversation, or when it's convenient for you, but now. If they don't like the area where you're stopping, they'll tell you by using their PA system.
Everyone, even off-duty police officers, panic when he or she first sees red and blue lights in the rear-view mirror at first. It's a natural reaction.
Once you have stopped, turn your engine off. Hopefully you have your driver's license, registration and proof of insurance at the ready. Have all three on hand and turn your car's interior light on.
Police officers are fanatics about seeing a person's hands in full sight, so help them out and place both hands on your steering wheel. By doing this, you will reassure the officer. Due to the hundreds of hours of traffic stop courses cops take, they can tell if you're cooperative upon their initial approach. Whatever you do, do not get out of your car unless instructed to.
This is where your interpersonal skills come into play. Remember, you'll never get a second chance to make a first impression. For the next 10 or so minutes, even though you'd most likely prefer not to get acquainted, the officer is on his or her fact-finding mission. Don't jeopardize the entire traffic stop with a negative initial contact. You will lose if you do.
Generally, I receive some of the following greetings: "Is there a problem, officer?" and "How can I help you?" These are reasonable responses.
Some of the worst "greetings" I've received from drivers include: "You'd better have a good reason for stopping me" and "What's your problem, pal?" I'll let you guess if these drivers were cited.
After the officer receives your requested statistical information, he or she will most likely ask you if you know why you were being stopped. If you don't know, say so.
Some traffic ticket "experts" recommend drivers say nothing about the violation. This means offering no rationale for your actions and simply signing the citation and taking it to court.
But if you do know why, I suggest you admit it and throw yourself on the mercy of the officer. We rarely hear violators confessing their mistakes, and admitting your indiscretion can sometimes be refreshing to hear. You may only receive a warning or a scolding.
Of course, depending upon the officer, you may receive a citation; however, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar. You may want to give the officer a piece of your mind, but think of the repercussions. If you argue with the officer over the violation, you're not going to win. If you truly believe the ticket was issued in error, contest it in traffic court, and don't argue with the officer on the side of the road.
Being pulled over by the police never happens when it's convenient: It's always the wrong time. If you show your discontent, or if you're rude, insulting, demeaning or just a jackass, you have no one but yourself to blame.
Chances are if you were in the officer's boots, you'd give yourself a ticket, too.

Bookers Cottage
Bookers Cottage, set in its own apple orchard, was built in the 19th century in traditional mellow Cotswold stone, and is roofed in lichen-covered Stonesfield mellow slates.
The front door opens into a large peaceful drawing-room - buff walls, pale blue-and-white striped Nina Campbell curtains, a huge cream buttoned three-seater chesterfield, and a 4' square buttoned hassock in pale blue on the rosy Turkey rug in front of the fire.
A Victorian armchair is covered in Bennison Roses linen union, and a smaller sofa in a coffee-and-cream Colefax & Fowler fabric. There's a club fender in front of the fire, and on the left of the stone fireplace is a large circular table whose blue-and-buff John Stefanides cloth conceals the TV. A blue-and-buff dresser holds a cornucopia of blue-and-white china. To the right is a desk and telephone, and a comfortable desk chair upholstered in green Lelievre velvet. In one corner, a bookcase, table and French chairs create a quiet corner for those who want to read, do jigsaws or play cards.
The large kitchen/dining-room has yellow walls, white painted kitchen units, farmhouse tiled terracotta floor, and indigo-and-white printed curtains and blinds. Double French doors lead to terrace and garden. The dining area is bright and fresh with a circular pine table covered in a blue-and-white checked floor-length cloth matching the chair cushions. There's a pine dresser packed with Welsh Gaudy china, and a pine corner cabinet full of blue-and-white porcelain.
The kitchen has blue-and-white Delft tiles and brown granite worktops. There's a large white porcelain butler's sink with a waste disposal, and butcher's block trolley. Opening off it is a utility room and a downstairs lavatory.
The upstairs master bedroom, which faces south over the orchard to the Abbey, is all cream-and-rose toile de jouy - on the king-size mahogany four-poster, on curtains lining the panels of the built-in wardrobe, and upholstering the curly padded ottoman and 19th century Louis-style fauteuil. To match this fauteuil, the little bureau and all the woodwork are also painted in the grey-green known as 'gris de chateau', echoed in the ensuite bathroom by the tiles.
One of the two twin-bedded rooms has buff walls, blue headboards and soft blue-and-white patchwork bedspreads. The big dressing table is covered in blue-and-white striped cotton to match the cloth on the semi-circular table between the beds.
The other twin bedroom is painted warm cerulean blue. Everything else is white - lace-edged curtains, bedspreads, chairs, and voile bed hangings falling from gilded coronas. Between the two wardrobes are an antique table, and a black-and-gold mirror. The shared bathroom is tiled in blue-and-white Delft.
The garden is enclosed by yew hedges behind the south-west facing terrace, which has a vine- and rose-covered pergola. A deep flower border runs behind this terrace - a mass of mauve, pink, crimson and white blooms.
Bookers has been tweaked, so subtly that although you'll know something has changed you won't be able to put your finger on it. The terracotta tiles of the kitchen floor have been sanded and scrubbed back to their original pale bleached apricot, and round the dining room table are white painted carved Victorian chairs, their seats cushioned in the same indigo and white fabric as the curtains. There's a marble-topped table behind the sofa for the drinks tray in the drawing room, and upstairs in the Master Bedroom, the furniture has been re-arranged, with the ottoman at the foot of the bed and a buttoned toile de jouy chair to match the bed in its place.

Goldman, Morgan Stanley pay $557M in mortgage caseBy MARCY GORDON
The Associated Press | January 17,2013AP FILE PHOTO
An Occupy Wall Street activist places tape on a boarded-up house during a tour of foreclosed homes in Brooklyn, N.Y., in December 2011.WASHINGTON Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will pay a combined $557 million to settle federal complaints that they wrongfully foreclosed on homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes.
The agreements announced Wednesday with the Federal Reserve were similar to deals struck earlier this month with 10 other major banks and mortgage lenders. Combined, the 12 firms will pay more than $9 billion.
Goldman will pay $330 million. Morgan Stanley is paying $227 million.
The settlements could compensate hundreds of thousands of Americans whose homes were seized because of abuses such as robo-signing, when banks automatically signed off on foreclosures without properly reviewing documents. The agreement will also help eliminate huge potential liabilities for the banks.
Consumer advocates say regulators settled for too low a price by letting banks avoid full responsibility for foreclosures that victimized families.
Under the settlement, Goldman and Morgan Stanley will pay a combined $232 million in cash compensation to homeowners to end an independent review of loan files required under a 2011 action by the Fed and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The remaining $325 million will be used to reduce mortgage balances and to forgive outstanding principal on home sales that generated less than borrowers owed on their mortgages.
About 220,000 people whose homes were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010 are eligible for payments under the deal with the two banks, the Fed said. The payments could range from hundreds of dollars up to $125,000, depending on the type of possible error.
Spokesmen for both Goldman and Morgan Stanley said the banks are pleased to have the matter settled.
The structure of the deal is nearly identical to the $8.5 billion settlement announced last week with Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, MetLife Bank, PNC Financial Services, Sovereign, SunTrust, U.S. Bank and Aurora.
Those banks are paying about $3.3 billion to 3.8 million homeowners to end the review of foreclosures. The rest $5.2 billion is going toward mortgage modifications and principal forgiveness.
Two other banks were subject to the 2011 independent reviews. HSBC and Ally Financial have been in discussions with regulators on similar settlements but have yet to reach deals.
Banks and consumer advocates had complained that the loan-by-loan reviews required under the 2011 order were time-consuming and costly and didnt reach many homeowners. Banks were paying large amounts to consultants to review the files. Some questioned the independence of those consultants, who often ruled against homeowners.
The settlements dont close the book on the housing crisis, which brought more than 4 million foreclosures. They cover only borrowers who were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010. And resolving millions of claims involving multiple banks and mortgage companies is complicated and time-consuming.
The deals announced this month are separate from a $25 billion settlement struck last February with five major banks by the federal government and 49 states. Those banks are Ally, Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo.MORE IN National / World BusinessA new liquor company on Exchange Street hopes to use $500,000 to make gin and cultivate local...

Tuesday night in New York City, our friends over at Sight Unseen launched their first printed edition, Paper View, a collection of stories and personal reflections that document the inner lives and studio spaces of designers from around the world. The book features 24 brand-new and archival pieces that exemplify two and a half years of studio visits and interviews and was published with the support of Karlsson's Gold Vodka's UNFILTERED project.
Paper View is divided into four sections— My Mother or Father Was An Artist, I Studied X and Now I'm Doing Y, Material Obsession and Strange Ephemera—each addressing a larger theme that emerged from their interviews with designers. "For us, it's always been about discovering the universal truths behind what it's like to be a maker, regardless of medium or discipline," the editors Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer explain in their foreword.
Monica Khemsurov, co-Editor of Sight Unseen
Studio visits, process deep-dives and inventories of favorite things fill the pages. My favorite subsection was more of a design interlude filled with an inventory of "8 Things"—from a who's who of design publications, brands and retailers that include the founders of Roman and Williams, Sebastian Wrong (Established & Sons), Nacho Alegre (Apartamento magazine) and Jade Lai (Creatures of Comfort).
In addition to hosting the launch party of the print edition, New York City retailer Creatures of Comfort will be home to a special Sight Unseen pop-up store, Shape Shop, that features goods from some of the designers profiled in Paper View—vases by Chen Chen and Kai Williams, pendant lights from Anntian, small weavings by New Friends, mugs by Peter Shire—as well as objects and jewelry from designers featured in their online archive. The tables and consoles displaying the objects were custom made for Sight Unseen by the new design firm The Principals.
Pickup your copy of Paper View today—the first edition of the publication is in a limited run of 400—or if you're in New York City, stop by Creatures of Comfort to visit the Shape Shop!

Francesca is eleven years old and lives with her mum and dad in a quiet rural Yorkshire village.
Francesca got the acting bug soon after starting school when she began rehearsing for the Nativity at the age of 4 where she narrated much of the show herself and sang a solo. A few weeks later she sang two solos on stage at a local folk festival. Her passion has only grown since.
At her happiest and most relaxed on set or stage, she is not precocious or 'stagy' in the slightest and has made many lasting friendships amongst the cast and crew, children and adults alike. Her positive attitude and professionalism means she has been asked to appear in further projects by several of the directors she has worked with.
She takes LAMDA lessons and has gained DISTINCTIONs in her exams and recently gained a DISTINCTION in her Grade 5 in Musical Theatre with LCM and now 81% in her grade 6.
Francesca has many other hobbies too, including kayaking, fencing, horse riding, archery, gymnastics (grade 5), swimming (grade 3), dance (Ballet Grade 3, MT dance Grade 3, Freestyle Grade 2), reading, writing stories and playing the piano (Grade 2) and loves composing tunes and lyrics on it or on her guitar. Next she wants to learn to play the drums! As well as climbing trees, collecting insects and nature items, Francesca enjoys playing on her trampoline and trapeze.
An intelligent, artistic, inquisitive child, when tested at the age of 7 she had a reading age of 14+, has a high IQ and learns lines, lyrics and direction very quickly. She is natural and confident in front of the camera, but quite shy away from it. She can portray emotion and is able to improvise and cold read. She is home schooled by her mum who is a qualified school teacher. Her favourite subject is history.
She loves animals of all kinds and has 3 pigmy goats, 4 chickens, 4 fantail doves, 4 fish, rabbit and 2 hamsters as pets and spends a lot of time with her sister's dog Dexter or on the farm next door. She spent some time on a sheep farm where she learned how to command the dog to round up the sheep and drive them into a pen! Francesca has also taken part in several Zoo Lab activities where she handled snakes, rats, giant insects and reptiles, but refused to hold the terancula! She now takes part in the WWF adoption scheme and uses part of her earnings to sponsor endangered animals.
Please feel free to look at Francesca's photographs, credits, performance photographs and show reels or read some of the comments directors have made about her.
We endeavour to regularly update the site so you can keep an eye on what she has been up to. Don't hesitate to contact us via our 'contact us' page on the left, if you have any questions.

FEMME FATALE. I wanted to shoot an outfit like this long time ago, but couldn't find the right pieces. Firstly, I was looking for a maxi dress, but it was hard to find and I came up with this old dress that I got from Zara some years ago for my 18th Birthday! It's backless with ruffles on shoulders and long sleeves. I worn this dress four times before, but always I used to wear it with short sleeves. Now, with these statement earrings and heels it looks more feminine, perfect for the concept of the photoshooting. I'm so glad I haven't left this dress in Thessaloniki, it's such a classy and elegant piece!

We have not yet purchased this kit but have made their Marian grottos which look very similar in design and are really enjoyable and attractive. Little ones will need some help with this but it is still a great project to do together. This kit contains everything needed for a complete set of the Stations of the Cross.
After coloring, cutting and assembling this kit, the kids can re-enact the events of Holy week which are portrayed in 4 different scenes, starting with the Last Supper and continuing through the Resurrection. Looks like some adult help may be needed but, hey, that's what we're here for!
This kit contains everything needed to make a solid 8" pillar candle out of pure beeswax sheets. It also includes design and decoration accessories and templates along with an explanation of the liturgical significance of candles.
Illuminated Ink also carries items to help prepare for and celebrate First Communion such as banner and invitation kits and a ton of items that make really nice Easter gifts. I have never been disappointed with a purchase and am even happier to buy from a family of such genuinely wonderful people!

Persona 4: The Golden US release confirmed
PS Vita version of Atlus RPG out this fall.
Atlus has confirmed a North American release for the PlayStation Vita version of Persona 4: The Golden. The game will hit store shelves this fall, as mentioned on the game's website.
The Golden was announced for Sony's handheld back in summer 2012 initially for Japan as an expanded version of the PS2 game. The Vita iteration of the RPG has all new features, including an additional character, anime cutscenes and story elements. In Japan, the game launches on June 14, but this is the first time we heard an official word regarding a localized US release.
In the meantime, The Golden has yet to attract a publisher in Europe, which leads to assumptions that it won't likely arrive to European shores this year.

Do you have any traditions when it comes to visiting the parks? For example always taking a picture in the same spot (like Lou!) eating a favorite treat every visit, stuff like that.
We like to have breakfast in Patisserie Boulangerie and eat tons of pastries, an afternoon cloudberry pastry and coffee at Kringla, at least one Dole Whip in Adventureland! Also take pictures in front of the big fountain at Epcot (forget what its called).
What are your "traditions"?

A New Kind of Vaccine
Posted by jlwile on January 19, 2011
As I have mentioned previously, vaccines are one the greatest medical advances God has allowed us to discover. They work by "pumping" your immune system so that it is ready to repel a pathogen (like a virus or bacterium) before you are infected. That way, your immune system doesn't have to figure out how to fight the pathogen. It already knows what to do, and that gives it a head start, making your body much less likely to succomb to the disease.Of course, the best way to prevent infectious disease is to prevent the infection to begin with. We try to do that with good sanitary practices, but they can only go so far. Regardless of how well we clean our surroundings, pathogens still manage to infect our bodies. In fact, some research is now indicating that we might be a bit too sanitary for our own good.
Medical historians are convinced that the rise in polio the U.S. experienced in the late 1940s and early 1950s was caused by good sanitary practices. When sanitary practices were rather poor, people were regularly exposed to small amounts of the polio virus, usually when they were babies and therefore had the extra protection given to them by the antibodies they received through their mothers' milk. Their immune systems were able to conquer the weak exposure to the virus with the help of their mothers' antibodies, and thus they became immune. As sanitary practices improved, however, fewer people were exposed to small amounts of the virus as infants. As a result, when they were exposed to concentrated amounts of the virus (from a person who already had the disease, for example), they would succumb to the disease.1
Some medical researchers take the lesson from the history of polio a step further. They believe in the hygiene hypothesis, which suggests that if a child grows up in an environment that is too clean, he or she will be more likely to contract a host of diseases later on in life, because the child's immune system was not challenged enough early in life. While the data are not clear enough to determine whether or not the hygiene hypothesis is reasonable, there are some interesting studies that lend support to it.
So…is there a way to prevent infection of a specific parasite without making our surroundings "too clean" and without injecting something into people? The surprising answer might be, "Yes!"
In a very interesting series of experiments, researchers in Australia have been studying the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which carries the virus that causes dengue. If a person is bitten by a mosquito that carries the virus, they can succomb to dengue, which causes horrific joint and muscle pain. While it is a problem in some areas of Australia, it is more prevalent in countries like Vietnam and Thailand. There is currently no effective vaccine that can be used on people, so the only way to stop the spread is to reduce the prevalence of the mosquito, which is a very difficult task.
The Australian researchers might have found another answer, however. They have found that when the Aedes aegypti mosquito is infected by a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis, it is very resistant to the virus that causes dengue. In addition, they have found that the bacterial infection spreads rapidly among mosquitoes in a laboratory setting. Even more importantly, female mosquitoes that are infected pass that infection on to their young, so the bacterial infection will continue across mosquito generations.2
Starting this month, the researchers will begin infecting wild Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Australia with the bacterium. They hope that it will spread as rapidly in the real world as it does in the lab. If so, the mosquitoes will rapidly become resistant to the virus that causes dengue. That means they will be much less likely to carry the virus, which means they will be much less likely to transmit the virus to people.
So in essence, the researchers hope to "vaccinate" a huge population of mosquitoes against a virus. This will, hopefully, reduce the number of mosquitoes that get infected by the virus, which will in turn reduce the number of humans that get infected by the virus. That's cool – fighting infection in humans by "vaccinating" mosquitoes.
Of course, the real question is, "How will the mosquitoes deal with the rapid rise in autism due to this vaccination program?" I am sure the International Medical Council on Vaccination will get right on that!

My understanding is that auto-immune conditions such as lupus are not found in areas with lower levels of sanitation. That's also an interesting connection!
Reminds me a little of some of the research with parasitic worms and irritable bowel disease. Some hypothesize that the worms release their own chemicals to control inflammation in the bowels to make their environment nicer for them, but it helps keep flare ups from occurring. The first things I read on it were weird. Like how on earth can you know that there are lower rates of ulcerative colitis in Africa than here? The health care systems just aren't comparable. But apparently there have been some studies that seem to suggest that infecting one with certain worms can control the disease with fewer side effects than the steroid treatments currently used.
(My daughter has UC so I read a bit on it now and again.)
(And thank you for your kind comment on my blog.)
This blog post reminded me of a book called Caves Of Steel by Asimov. I don't know if you've read it or not, but in it there are two basic factions of humans: Earthers and Spacers. In the novel, the Spacers are descendants of the people of Earth and when they had emigrated from Earth they took only a mere fraction of the diseases of Earth along with them, so they focused upon eradicating all of the diseases they had with them. However, when dealing with the comparatively unsanitary people of Earth they had to wear gloves and keep filters in their noses because even the least harmful diseases to Earthers were extremely lethal to Spacers.
It's one of my favorites, but I'd still give a few caveats. One of the primary caveats would be that Asimov spent a little too much time giving his opinions about the Bible while discussing the pretense of the contrived names of the main character (Elijah Bailey) and his wife (Jezebel). Other than that, the rest of the story is pretty good. It kind of ends with a whimper though. I wouldn't say I'd strongly recommend it, but aside from Asimov's unnecessary commentary about the Bible in a section and how the ending didn't quite fit with the rest of the tone of the story I would say that it is otherwise a good read.
Oh, I hope this works! We live in dengue-infested Brazil where every year hundreds die of the more serious hemorrhagic dengue. If they could get this mosquito vaccine distributed to third world countries quickly and without too much bureaucracy, it would save many lives!
Does the Dengue actually impair the mosquito's chances of survival? i.e. will they tend to spread according to survival of the fittest?

Norwood, MA (01/22/2007) - Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications and market leader in amplifier ICs, today continued its long history of meeting the design needs of instrumentation and industrial equipment customers with the introduction of a zero-drift, digitally-programmable instrumentation amplifier (in-amp). Rated over an extended industrial temperature range, the AD8231 is suited for a variety of sensors, including resistance temperature detectors, thermocouples and automotive pressure sensors, in harsh environments where minute signal variations must be accurately detected in the presence of large common-mode voltages. The AD8231 features 80 percent lower input noise than competing devices while delivering rail-to-rail inputs and outputs at up to 1-MHz bandwidth—five times the throughput of the nearest competing zero-drift in-amp¬. Unlike competing devices, the exceptionally low noise characteristics of the AD8231 allow designers of industrial sensors and controls to maintain dc precision over gain.
"Zero-drift instrumentation amplifiers can have high noise at high gains for a variety of reasons, including the presence of chopping noise," said Steve Sockolov, product line director, Precision Signal Processing, Analog Devices. "However, the trade-off between offset drift and noise becomes untenable as the gain increases to the level demanded by today's industrial equipment manufacturers. Analog Devices addressed this challenge using a proprietary auto-zero technique that dramatically lowers the in-amp's noise profile while eliminating the need for external components, such as switched capacitors."
Rugged Design Is Ideal for Demanding Industrial Applications
Using a three-operational amplifier (op-amp) instrumentation architecture, the AD8231 enhances reliability by integrating auto-zero amplifiers to maintain a voltage offset of only 50 nV/°C across temperature and over years of operation. The AD8231 also features internal gain-setting resistors, which limit gain coefficient temperature drift to 10 ppm/°C. The device's LFCSP (lead-frame chip-scale package) material was chosen for its reliability and robustness over temperature, which results in a part that is specified from –40°C to 125°C. The package comes with a center paddle, which keeps the part securely soldered to the printed-circuit board in high-vibration environments.
Software Programmability Makes Gain Adjustment Easy
The AD8231 features software programmable gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128, which are programmed through an easy-to-use three-pin interface. The gain can be set using digital logic, which allows users to repeatedly adjust gain once the in-amp has been designed into the system. A pin-strapping gain setting option is also included. The new device operates on a single supply from 3.3 V to 5 V and has rail-to-rail outputs, making it easy to interface to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The AD8231 has high impedance inputs of 10 gigaohms, and unlike competing parts, does not suffer performance degradation when using higher impedance sensors.
Flexibility of Design Yields Cost, Space Savings
The AD8231 includes an additional on-chip op-amp, which further extends performance. The op-amp can be used to create a differential output to drive today's high performance ADCs, or to add or customize gains. The integrated op-amp also provides a tool for additional error correction, level shifting, or filtering. Using the same low-noise auto-zero techniques as the in-amp, the on-chip op-amp also has rail-to-rail inputs and outputs. The ability of the AD8231 to eliminate noise-prone discrete components, such as switched capacitors, combined with the added on-chip signal conditioning of the integrated op-amp, cuts cost by 60 percent and reduces board space requirements by 50 percent compared to other zero-drift in-amps.
Manufactured using Analog Devices' highly efficient iCMOS™ (industrial CMOS) process technology, the AD8231 achieves a noise level of 32 nV/rt-Hz, five times lower than competitive zero-drift in-amps. The AD8231 also features 122-dB CMR (common-mode rejection), allowing the in-amp to detect very low-amplitude signals in noisy environments.
Compatible with High-Performance ADCs
Ideally suited for industrial controls and sensors requiring a single 3.3-V to 5-V power supply, ADI's new single-supply in-amp easily interfaces to ADCs and microcontrollers by using the same power supply as digital components. The AD8231 is designed to work well with Analog Devices' data converters (including the AD7942, AD7685 and AD7980 PulSAR® ADCs), the ADuC702x family of precision analog microcontrollers and ADI's ADR121, ADR43x and ADR44x voltage reference.
Pricing and Availability
The AD8231 zero-drift, digitally-programmable, gain in-amp is sampling now in a 16-lead LFCSP package with production quantities available in April 2007. The AD8231 is priced at $1.69 in 1,000-unit quantities.

Hot off the press this week Beyoncé might be calling it quits, Alicia Keys backtracks on her conspiracy theory, Chilli still has the hots for Usher, and Faith's finally ready to fess up. Quittin' Time Either Beyoncé has finally tired of the overexposure, or marriage and babies have become her top priority. According to the NY Daily News the recently wed singer plans to make her next album her last in order to go work for her hubby: Beyonce's cousin, Angelica Knowles claims that the current album B is working on will be her last, as she plans to instead work as a talent scout for Jay's new label, The Carter Music Group. Some chick named Chelsea Thomas is reportedly going to be her first protégé. Rebel Talking... Talk about Cater 2 U. Miss-Understood Alicia Keys' squeaky clean image took a major hit this week. The usually charming superstar was branded a militant conspiracy theorist for making some funky comments in Blender magazine about gangster rap and the deaths of rappers Tupac and Biggie. In an attempt to clean things up Keys phoned in to Ryan Seacrest's LA radio show "On Air With Ryan" to explain herself. [Listen Here] According to Miss Alicia there was a bit of breakdown in communication and her words were misinterpreted. "What I was saying was the term gangsta rap was so oversloganized during that time and in so many ways people and the government could have done so much more to obliterate and eradicate what the artists were talking about that they lived with every day." She added that her only aim is to "uplift and to spread love" and noted that her past positive comments haven't gotten nearly the same attention as this conspiracy theorist business. Rebel Talking... Keep it gangsta Alicia. Power to the people! Always & Forever Tameka Foster-Raymond is probably somewhere in Atlanta throwing a tantrum over the comments Usher's ex-flame, Chilli, recently made. In an interview with blogger Necole b*tchie, the TLC songstress confessed her undying love for Ush. "Usher is the one that I truly did love. Like that was truly my first adult love. I love him very much and I will always love him. I don't know how you love someone that deeply and just stop loving them. I'm not in love with him anymore but I can't say that I don't love him anymore. And of course I do want him to be happy and all but me and him had what I never had in any of my other relationships, and that was chemistry." Rebel Talking ... Well, well, well. Bet Tameka wishes Chilli would've kept that confession to herself. Write 'Em Up After letting Tupac, Biggie and Ray-J have their say, Faith has finally decided to come clean her damn self, with a rumored memoir in the works. The bio, which will reportedly be titled Keep the Faith promises to spill the beans on her relationships with Biggie, Tupac and Diddy. "KEEP THE FAITH is Faith Evan's first person account of life at ground zero of hip-hop's greatest generation. She'll share the truth about the love affair that changed her life, and the innuendo that rocked the hip-hop world to its core. From her passionate and tragically short-lived life with Biggie, Faith will finally lay the true story on the line. We'll get to see the good, the bad and the ugly side of P. Diddy; nobody knew either quite as well as Faith." Rebel Talking... If she's willing to compare Big and Pac in the sack, reveal Diddy is a butt-pirate and be real about what's been up her nose, this could outsell Superhead. But while you were wondering who golden showered R.Kelly's hair we had to ask who taught Khia how to spell and why Steve Harvey thinks he's too sexy for his shirt.

CHICAGO, September 11, 2013 — On a September 11, President George Bush gave one of the most insightful speeches of our lifetimes. That address might have been our historical turning point, the marker we crave that says "before this moment the world worked this way, and afterward things were different," but hardly anyone remembers his speech because it didn't happen on that September 11 and it wasn't delivered by that George Bush.
Our last century was dominated by the bloody conflict between liberal democracy and totalitarianism. It ended, to borrow a phrase from T.S. Eliot, "not with a bang, but a whimper." Over the 1980s and 90s, the Chinese gradually abandoned Maoism. The Soviets retreated from Eastern Europe before implding into a rusty heap. Tinpot dictators from the Philippines to Latin America fled their palaces in terror abandoning gold-plated pistols, exotic animals, and vast collections of shoes.
SEE RELATED: A Republican DLC will not work
By the early 1990s it was apparent that liberal democracy was alone in the world as a source of political legitimacy. There is no single date or event that officially marks the achievement. It just happened, the way you wake up one morning and discover that somewhere along the line you got old.
On September 11, 1990, as the nation braced for the campaign to remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush described the remarkable global transformation we were experiencing.
"We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment … A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor. Today that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we've known. A world where the rule of law supplants the rule of the jungle. A world in which nations recognize the shared responsibility for freedom and justice. A world where the strong respect the rights of the weak … how we manage this crisis today could shape the future for generations to come."
From his vantage point on the edge of such a frightening conflict, Bush recognized that the dynamics of global politics had changed. His speech was the bookend to an address given 50 years before as Britain stood alone in 1940 against the Nazis. Winston Churchill in that dark moment delivered a warning coupled with a promise:
SEE RELATED: Reza Aslan, Fox News and the real Jesus
"Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age."
President Bush's September 11 speech pointed to our arrival on Churchill's "sunlit uplands." At long last, after so much blood sacrifice, we were heirs to a world marked by freedom, prosperity, and rule of law that so many had dreamed of building.
Bush's speech could have inspired us to rub our eyes and look around, recognizing the beautiful new opportunities, and fresh problems, that surrounded us. We could have seized the chance to emerge from our Cold War defensive crouch, embracing a new, post-war order at home that would bring the freedom and prosperity of this new world to more people than ever before.
That is not what happened.
President Bush had guided the nation through a transformational victory and pointed the way to a new, freer, more prosperous global order. Domestically, under the influence of men like Jack Kemp, he was initiating a transition away from the old social welfare system into something that would eventually be branded "the Ownership Society."
Unprecedented new trade agreements were being forged to help us lead the way into a global economy based on information and commerce rather than sweat and blood. After years of pressure from a young Democratic Senator named Al Gore, George Bush in 1991 signed an act that converted a Cold War military computer network into a public "information superhighway." New cooperation was opening with Asian and Eastern European countries that had once been closed to mass trade.
Bush entered the '92 next election cycle as the presumed winner. An SNL skit from late 1991 parodied the attitude among Democrats. Titled, The Race to Avoid Being the Guy Who Loses to George Bush, it featured all of the major figures in the Democratic Party explaining why none of them should be asked to challenge the President. All of the Democratic Party's heavies declined to run, which should have cleared the field for Bush.
Unfortunately, a rebellion was underway inside the Republican Party. A vision for the world that Republicans had once barely dared to imagine was becoming a reality yet the party was turning fiercely against it, embracing a religious-themed populism virulently hostile to global capitalism.
Bush lost the election to a little known southern Governor named Bill Clinton who prevailed with only 43 percent of the vote. Instead of embracing the new world order, the nation would begin a long drift into malaise.
Few people in either party took seriously the dangers presented by the increasingly bizarre collection of people concentrating power in traditional Republican institutions. The public generally assumed that the extremists, if left alone, would simply burn themselves out. Besides, with all the major matters of interest more or less settled, there didn't seem to be much harm these people could do.
Now, the Republican Party, the pragmatic bastion of fiscally sound problem-solvers has devolved into a cartoon show. There seems to be no conspiracy theory too outlandish, no fear too unrealistic to animate the base.
Yet the fact remains that we won the long, bloody wars of the 20th century. The battle between Capitalism and Marxism is behind us. Despite the lost opportunities of the past few years, the world at large is vastly freer, wealthier, and friendlier to capitalism than it has ever been.
Obama, the President Republicans so love to hate, is arguably more conservative than Nixon. No major national Democratic figure since Mondale has dared to endorse the 20th century leftist vision that once gave America 70 percent top marginal tax rates and ubiquitous union membership.
Our challenge now is preserving the effectiveness of public institutions in an environment far too dynamic for "big government" to function. Faced with the relief of victory, the toll of decades of trauma now seems to be bubbling out of us. Instead of seizing our new opportunities, we are breaking down into collective hysterics. On the "broad sunlit uplands" promised to us by Winston Churchill, we are building bunkers stuffed with preserved food, ammo, and gold coins.
We are allowing ourselves to be defined by the wrong September 11. We could have been, and could still become the heirs of George H.W. Bush's forward-looking declaration of victory. To do so will require courage and vision we have yet to demonstrate.
It is time to move beyond the logic of the War Century and reckon with the challenges of our own time. We have to decide which September 11 will define our future.

This crowd-pleasing, kicked-up casserole uses pantry ingredients and refrigerator staples topped with a refrigerated pie crust and baked until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden.
1567 people marked it a Favorite, 1476 people marked it a Try
Yield: 8 Ready in 55 minutesmandyquinones , 10 months agoWhole family loved it. Drained the corn, used tortilla chips on top instead of the pie crust and let it sit 15 minutes are baking and put it over white rice. Was so good and easy to throw together for a week night meal I will be putting this in our rotation of meals.
Trish37 , 10 months agoThis is very good..add some hot sauce to a bowl of this!!
noelynn1 , 1 years agoAwesome!
Jbluedog274 , 1 years agoUsed tortillas instead of the puff pastry and fresh chicken breast. Very good, nice flavor from the salsa. I have also substituted ground turkey for the meat and that was great too. An easy recipe to make your own.
TCreager , 2 years agoThis recipe would be much better if tortilla chips were used in place of the pie crust
sarahworthman , 2 years agoIt was a great idea and very easy, but the overall flavor was such a mix of sour cream and beans, it lacked individual favors.
Kicia731 , 2 years agoVery easy, and definitely a great add to the rotation. Thanks for sharing!
Chefroach , 2 years agoUsed Crescent rolls in place of pie crust. Drained corn and beans and was great. Make two, one without the pie crust top and freeze it. Later remove and defrost, add pie crust or Crescent rolls and cook until heated through and top is well browned. Saves time for a quick dinner.
jilledenstrom , 2 years ago
Allycat413fishie , 2 years agoIt was good. I'd make it again with alterations for the soupy part. Less less less.
CarolinaClover , 2 years agoVery filling, good flavor, kids liked it. Some variations: added 26 oz can of cream of chicken soup and omitted the sour cream. Added only 1/2 cup of salsa and added an additional can of black beans which may have eliminated the soupyness other
laureld , 2 years agoI happened to have leftover Rice a Roni Mexican rice in the fridge so I threw that in too. I also used crushed tortilla chips on top. It was really good and definitely a kid favorite. Adding it to the rotation.
Arvan43 , 2 years agoMy family really liked this. I did modify it due to other reviews that I read. I used leftover chicken from drumsticks. I added 1 taco seasoning packet and 1 finely chopped chipotle pepper in adobe sauce (I buy 1 large can and freeze them in singles) to add some flavor and tiny bit of heat to the mix. I used crushed tortilla chips on top instead of pie crust. I did drain the corn and beans. It was not soupy, but like very thick dip. We used chips to dip and eat or wrapped it up in a tortilla. I will use this for dinner and for chip dip when going to parties. Thank you for the recipe.
Leenie2001 , 2 years agoThis was really tasty but it is missing something, maybe heat. Next time I am going to add some chili's. I did make it with a pie crust and it came out great. I would suggest letting it rest before cutting it....about 20 minutes or so. The only thing I did differently was the chicken, I used a rotisserie chicken (small one). Yes I would make this again :)
Jab618 , 3 years agoVery tasty. substituted pie crust with Tortilla chips
cornhusker_scouter , 3 years agoMade this for our small group and it was a hit! We went with crushed tortilla chips on top instead of the pie crust. After reading the comments about it being "soupy" we drained the corn and beans and it came out great. Will definitely be making this again.
Segerguy , 3 years agoI was looking for something different to do with the pack of chicken thighs I bought and came across this recipe, so I thought I'd try it. I made a few modifications. While boiling the chicken thighs I added a package of McCormicks Taco Seasoning to the boiling water. This added to the Latin flavor of the chicken. While that was boiling I tore about 10 corn tortillas into random pieces and lightly fried then in a little canola oil and let them drain on a paper towel. After mixing all the ingredients in a bowl I placed the fired tortilla chips on top of the mixture and baked on a convection setting at 375 degrees for 30 min. This was delicious. My wife ate 3 bowls!!! Will definitely make this one again!
ChaseD20 , 3 years agotasted great!
k27stodden , 3 years agoVery good, really easy, and my kids like it. Can do no meat by using 1 bag of the pre-diced "chk'n" pieces.
Ewoods1 , 3 years agoI made this tonight and LOVED it! O decided the next time I make it I can use it as a dip for tortilla chips, or instead of using the pie crust use crushed tortilla chips (the crust was hard to remove) I may reduce the liquids in half and add a bit mor chicken so it is not ad runny, bbut still loved it!

I Have Been Looking Forever For The Right Dresses! I Want My Wedding Dress To Be One Of Those POOFY Dresses. The Kind That Look Like An Upside Down Bowl Lol. The Ones That Have Something Under It I Think, To Push It Out So It Looks Big And Round. The Kind Of BridesMaid Dresses I Want Are The Really Nice Old Time Dresses That Are Also Big But Have An Umbrella And Long Silk Gloves That Go Along With It. So Far I Have Only Found One But Its Red. Not The Color I Want. And I've Been Looking For A While Now. But I Have No Idea What They Are Called So I Cant Search For Them. If Anyone Can Help Me...I'd Really Appreciate It. Thanks!

You are looking for a ballerina-style gown, sometimes called a princess style. For the bridesmaids, you may need to have their dresses made by a seamstress. I haven't seen that style in shops for about 15 years. Also check eBay. They have a line of wedding items. You might find what you need there. |

And SInce I Was Thinking About Buying The Umbrella And Gloves Separate I Found A Whole Lot Of Gloves Real Easily.... But I CAN NOT Find ANY Umbrellas Like The Ones I'm Talking About!... |
Try searching "hoop skirt" and "parasol." You know, you may be able to get the look you like (and save money, too) renting dresses, gloves, and parasols from a costume shop. |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 11, 06 at 16:37
Mizzdiabla, just a friendly question: Why do you start every word with a capital letter? I don't believe I've ever seen anyone do that? LOL! What's up with that? As for the umbrella, are you searching under "parasol?" That's what I think you want, unless you think it might rain on your wedding. Here's a link to a ruffly parasol. I also saw a lacy one on another website. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Parasol
mizzdiabla -- The red dress you found is from a bridal company. I'll bet you it comes in lots of colors, not just red. Socks's suggestion about quincenera dresses was brilliant. That Mary's Bridal site you found has zillions of dresses like I think you are describing. Check out this link: http://www.marysbridal.com/quinceanera.htm |

I Dont Know Why I Type Like This. I Just Tried It Once And I Like The Way It Looks When A Whole Sentence Or Paragraph Is Typed. It Just Looks Nice To Me I Guess. Well Thanks For All The Help You Guys I Think I'm Just Going To Do What I Said And Buy The Gloves And "Parasols" Separately. And Those "Hoop Skirts" Were A Great Idea Too... |
I do urge you to consider to look into renting the bridesmaid gowns, gloves, and parasols from a costume shop or formal rental place. These hoop skirt dresses can be quite expensive and not really something your attendants will be able to wear again. They often have beautiful things at a costume shop -- I'm thinking of dresses handmade for a theatrical production; I'm not talking about acetate Halloween costumes -- and it is much cheaper to rent than to buy. Beyond costume shops -- I know there are places you can rent bridal gowns (which makes a LOT of sense to me -- talk about something you DEFINITELY aren't going to wear again!). Do they also rent bridesmaid gowns? I'm just wondering. |
- Posted by sweet_pea10 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 16, 06 at 13:25
Yes, bridesmaids dresses can be rented from a few shops, but they are usually limited in the number of available styles and colors to what is currently in style for most weddings. I also agree that checking out a costume shop would be a good idea. I have used one when we have special weddings, such as medieval ones. The costumes are of excellent quality. The issue may be in getting several dresses that match. |

Brother Ali
by Suzy Geers
Brother Ali is a chameleon in life and in music. In childhood, his family moved place to place, a new school- new pairs of eyes looking. Brother Ali has had his share of severe emotional, life traumas: His mom died, with whom he was not on the best of terms but as Ali says, "People have had it way worse. It made me want to be self reliant." Us, Brother Ali's collection of sixteen songs, chronicles a new direction allowing Ali to venture through the strengths and flaws of the human condition, exploring the evils of slavery, drug abuse, rape and poverty as well as the beauty of love, family and redemption.
Rock the Vote: You adapt to every new situation in life, and that is exactly like your music. Your lyrics and rhymes have progressed with each album.
Brother Ali: I have always wanted to make really powerful music about the things I care about. When I started out I was REALLY struggling just to survive. When I first began to tour, I didn't have enough money to eat except for one meal a day. I had a baby, I had a wife—and life was just rugged BUT I always find fun in EVERYTHING! I just enjoy being alive. With my first album I was trying to assert myself like, "You need to listen to me. I am here, and I am good at this." I felt the most powerful music I can make would mean talking about my personal struggles. Then I started thinking about happiness- more than "just" survival. I need to build a life around myself that's going to reflect who I am and who I think I am SUPPOSED to be. So, I started looking at things in my life- I got married at 17—I've been on my own since 16, 17. The marriage was horrible… I didn't really "know" the girl- she had really serious mental and emotional issues- the life I had STILL wasn't right, and then came my second album, The Truth. I was stripping my life apart, rebuilding it in a way that would make me fulfilled as a person. I ended up leaving my now ex-wife, got custody of my son, and I was starting to do better and better. I fell in love for REAL- honest to God! Ridiculous love that grew into healthy love. I got remarried, had another baby and bought a house. So, on THIS album, Us you get me thinking a little bit bigger now that I am stable and now that I am happy- it makes me think a lot more of the people I grew up with and love and care so much about. I want to shed some light on what's going on… like, "I'm doing great but how come I'm not FULLY and completely happy?" That's because the people I care about are STILL struggling and suffering the way I was.
Rock the Vote: Your music is vulnerable and so, so soulful. What song on Us truly accentuates who Brother Ali is at this moment?
Brother Ali: The title track! The last song on the album. I think that kind of wraps up the overall sentiment of the new album, and kind of the way I want my moment to go. What I want this chapter of my artistry to really be about- uniting people, showing people how really ALIKE we all are- that how much of what we all desire truly is the same.
Rock the Vote: FYI to the reader: Us opens with "Brothers And Sisters" as the legendary Chuck D (Public Enemy) introduces Brother Ali as the speaker for the evening accompanied by a live Gospel choir and Stokley Williams (Mint Condition).
Rock the Vote: Let's talk about health care. You're a human being that has a disease that REQUIRES much needed attention… and the unfortunate death of your mom who died of cancer.
Brother Ali: My mom died of cancer and thankfully was covered by the state of Minnesota. It was really great. My brother was taking care of her… and for a person without private health insurance she was taken care of very well. I fully and firmly believe that health care is a human right. It has nothing to do with politics… socialism, capitalism…. freedoms… if we look at all of the parts of our life that the government provides for us and in return for the trillions of dollars we give them every year in taxes- why can't we have health care coverage? Health care is SUCH a basic human right that should be provided for the same way the government provides roads, schools, health care for the elderly… for people who clearly need it but aren't able to have it. I am self employed and with that, have HUGE tax bills and with that it is hard for someone like me to walk into a Blue Cross and "buy" private health insurance for my family. On one hand, I am generating all this money to my state and my government… and on the other hand I can not afford health care. It is no joke. Matter of fact, when the tour that I am on right now is done I am going to pay back taxes for TWO years, and that was when I was homeless with my son. I was sleeping on floors with a baby, on friend's couches but because I was self-employed, I owe the money. Right now, no one is covered in my family. No one in my family has health insurance. The state covered my daughter and that just ran out. When I get home, I don't have a choice- I have to write a check to the I.R.S. and I HOPE to write the health insurance check… and there is something very, VERY wrong with that.
Rock the Vote: Yes, yes there is. I know your health is at risk… how are you feeling?
Brother Ali: I'm good. I'm albino, so I have to be really careful about my skin and skin cancer. The one doctor I see regularly is the dermatologist-- because I had a mole on the side of my head and it was growing, so it HAD to be removed and tested. It's ok but I really have to be aware. Like I said earlier, I pay out of pocket so, it hurts… it hurts bad.
Brother Ali is on tour and his new album Us is in stores- it is thought provoking, the rhymes are tight and meaning full, and the beats back it all up. Us is nothing short of SUPERB! Oh, and Brother Ali is you're reading this: the Celtics RULE, baby!

The increase in debt is counted in United States like increase in market prices. Though the student debts have gone pass more than $1 trillion and also the total credit card debts, the credit card debts are not yet below the danger level. On an average, all the states of the US owes around $4000-$5000 credit card debts. Every gender and age is covered in the spectrum credit card debt iniquities seem like contagious.
Why do credit card debts are more malicious?
The credit card debts are unsecured personal debts. People who don't have property, no income or even regular job can have credit cards and fall in the cave of credit card debts. Though there is a certain limit within what the credit cards can be used but one can take out more than credit cards and the financial damages are invited. The other evil side of credit cards is that certain balance transfer cards offered to pay off the other outstanding credit cards but they may have limited transfers and possible within few brands only. Last but not the least, people carry misunderstanding that they would easily waive of the credit card debts being unsecured in nature but the reality is very small amount of credit card debts are forgone and not in full.
Is there any better option to pay off credit card debts?
There are bad credit loans rotating in USA providing the consumers an easy selection in receiving the loan proceeds. There are no requirements of providing reasons of bad credit history or why consumer has fallen into credit card debts. These loans are referred as payday loans or fast cash loans – easy pickings, instant cash deposits and no deposits are required.
What are the features of payday loans?
The payday loans are available for small amounts ranging from $1000 to $5000. The different states have provided different rules and regulations on payday loans and there is no federal law governing payday loans. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) however keeps an eye on the fair trade practices between vendors and borrowers. The rate of interest is enormously high however one can always sneak their noise to negotiate the interest rates. If one shy to bargain, the good deal is lost.
The process of payday loans being a bad credit loan takes hardly few second to approve. The online survey shows that some of the vendors approve the payday loans within 60 seconds which leaves practically no approval at all.
Some of the payday lenders also take a guaranteed cheque from the borrower equal to the amount of principal and interest thereon for the security. Once the terms of the payday loans are over, the vendor can deposit the cheque for his recovery. However there are no deposits required to be paid.
Be aware of loan sharks!
The loans sharks are vicious circle of vendors created to rob borrowers in the name of easy entries to bad credit loans. The borrowers are provided loan after loan to add in their debts because after all debts and credits are two sides of the same coin. The mouth of shark (vendor greediness) is too large that the borrowers never come out of it.

Maserati models, news & reviews
By Tim Pollard
Motor Industry
06 November 2012 12:30
Maserati has unveiled the new 2013 Quattroporte – the luxury sports saloon which has been the mainstay of Modena since the current car's launch in 2004.
The new Maserati Quattroporte will be shown at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, with left-hand drive sales starting in spring 2013. However, right-hand drive UK sales of the new QP are unlikely to begin before June 2013.
The style is all Italian: you won't mistake the new Quattroporte for a Mercedes S-class or Jag XJ. Trad Maser design cues remain from the cheese grater grille to the triple vents on the flanks and chunky C-pillar.
Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Maserati design chief, said: 'Some of the elements characterising the previous model have been purposely maintained: the front grille, the three side vents and the triangular C pillar. At the same time new style and functional features have been introduced: the strong belt line that runs through the entire side of the car giving the new Quattroporte a look and feel that is at once muscular and elegant, the new front and rear lights and the three frameless side glasses. 'Inside, the design of the Quattroporte aims at essentiality, stressing the simplicity of lines and the full functionality of the on-board instrumentation. Functional elements are blended with soft quality surfaces made of prestigious woods and refined leathers.'
No hard figures yet. But we know the new QP is considerably longer – just check out that side profile shot! The new Quattroporte is being moved up a notch to make space for the new Ghibli four-door sports saloon to take on the likes of BMW's M5 and Porsche's Panamera.
Yet despite this growth spurt, the 2013 Maser Quattroporte is said to be much lighter, thanks to a richer mix of materials. CAR understands it's around 150kg lighter than before despite the growth spurt. These first photographs inside the QP suggest the rear row will be more in keeping with a plutocrats' limo than today's more cramped passenger compartment.
Again, no word yet on the innards of the new Maserati saloon. But CAR understands that a new family of V6 and V8 engines are to be offered – and, in the fullness of time, a new turbodiesel to turbocharge sales in the European markets.
Rear- and four-wheel drive will be offered this time. Full tech specs will be issued nearer the Detroit auto show premiere in spring 2013.
'Maserati stands today at the edge of an unparalleled strategic and industrial growth that will see our presence in the world rise to 50,000 units a year by 2015. This growth is a challenge for which Maserati has carefully prepared itself and that we all welcome with anticipation.
It is a growth based on those values of style, elegance, quality and performance for which Maserati has always been recognised and praised in almost 100 years of history. This exciting progression will make the new Maserati a true global player with two new production sites in two different continents and a heart solidly planted in Modena, Italy, where our roots are.
'It is a growth that will be based on three new models entering two new segments of the automobile market – and it starts with the all-new 2013 Maserati Quattroporte.'

RE: Maserati Quattroporte (2013): the first official pictures
It´s a tough choice between these two cars: neither is very good. And I can´t for the life of me think of a decent looking big car on sale right now. The Volvo S80 is in another price class and it´s really cramped inside but it does look very good indeed. And the Rolls-Royce Ghost is far more expensive than the Maserati (as far as I can be bothered to ascertain). Not many years back you had the choice of the stellar A8 (D2), the Jaguar XJ (old body) to pick if you didn´t like the bland S-class or the gawkward 7-series and you had the lovely first generation QP too. Still, it´s not a big problem for us. Life somehow carries on.

Clearly I disagree, Chickenfeed - this car is way better than the Jag, despite being a bit gawky from all angles other thatn the front 3/4s. But its kind of a pointless arguement as beauty is in the eye of the beholder as it were, there is no right or wrong when it comes to personal taste.
14 November 2012 11:40
It´s good for a design to produce some kind of an emotional response but if that response is revulsion then you´ve failed to some degree. The Jaguar provoked when it didn´t need to. It had the potential by dint of its scale to be truly beautiful and instead merely looks unresolved. Having had time to digest this Maserati´s appearance, I find it gets less acceptable the more I look at it. The change from vertical to horizontal lights was a bad call on the part of the design team. In the end it seems, as I said earlier, like another proposal from the 2004 car´s development process rather than something from 2012.

Wow. The rear is a lift from the current A6. The interior is a clear improvement over its predecessor. Overall it's quite a decent look but it's very very predictable. @typos1 - "This is not that great a design, but its still far, far better than the disgusting Jag XJ" No it's not. When it first came out the XJ was a surprise or a shock depending on whether you loved it or hated it. It managed to provoke an emotional response. That is what you expect from brands like Jaguar and Maserati. Of course every car needs to be judged in the metal but looking at these pictures I don't really feel anything.

November 17, 2009
Jefferson City, Mo. -- Attorney General Chris Koster today announced Missouri is part of a multi-state settlement with VONAGE, one of the nation's largest providers of a service known as "Voice over Internet Protocol," an Internet-based phone service. Koster said the settlement requires VONAGE to make significant changes to its marketing practices, honor consumer cancellation requests, and provide refunds to eligible consumers.
"I am pleased to announce this settlement on behalf of Missouri consumers," Koster said. "Companies that prey on customers who have done business with them in good faith should not be allowed to take advantage of customers when they legally choose to cancel that business relationship. This settlement is a big win for consumers."
Koster said today's settlement addresses complaints in which consumers alleged having difficulty or being unable to cancel their VONAGE service. VONAGE formerly paid incentives to customer service representatives for retaining or "saving" customers in lieu of cancellation whenever the consumers called to cancel. As a result, consumers reported that cancellation was extremely difficult and sometimes impossible. Today's agreement puts strict limitations on this practice and requires recording and verification of these telephone calls
Koster said today's settlement also addresses a number of other marketing practices that have led to consumer confusion about the cost associated with VONAGE equipment and service. Specifically, VONAGE will revise its disclosures regarding the offer of "free" services, money-back guarantees, and trial periods.
Koster said the settlement puts in place a broad restitution plan requiring VONAGE to make refunds to eligible consumers who filed unresolved complaints regarding unauthorized charges from January 2004, to March 16, 2010.
Missouri's share of the settlement payment made by Vonage is $45,000. That money may be used to cover attorneys' fees and costs, for enforcement of state consumer protection laws, or for consumer education.
