Bluetooth works without a hitch, the range is limited to inside the car but it's no problem at all. The sound quality of the BT is excellent. It takes a bit of getting used to as far as the controls and features, but any HU is at first. No problems so far after about 5 weeks since installation. The 4 volt preamp are a nice feature as well. |
I listen to 820 am radio station, and it is struggling to work. I thought the quality of my radio stations would get better with HD radio. disappointed. |

ERIC from WARNER ROBINS, GA
I put this in my daughter's car for her birthday. It's got everything she needed and then some. Bluetooth with media streaming and hands free calling, iPhone support with just the standard USB cable and it even controls Pandora on her iPhone. The MIXTRAX and lighting effects are pretty awesome as well.

Scott from Youngtown, AZ
Very cool head unit, does pretty much anything you can think of. I thought the mixtrax thing would be alot cooler but it is not cool at all. All it does is add weird scratching noises between songs but there is another feature that allows you to play songs from just one artists/album/etc so that makes up for the stupid scratching noises. Also the mixtrax thing makes my stereo go into some sort of epileptics nightmare and you cannot make it stop blinking while in this mode. For me, mixtrax sold the headunit but turned out to be the worst feature but ALL the other features make up for it by far.
Also dont hook your phone up to it or shut bluetooth off on your phone if you dont wanna be bothered while listening to a song. It turns your music off so the damn phone can come through, which is to be expected I guess. Seriously, it has more features than you will remember how to use. Also, the headunit is about 6 inches deep and with your RCA plugs add 2 inches check your dash depth I tried to set it completely back but that didnt work for my car. The carriage to hold the radio is solid and well thought out. This head unit is a very good investment IMHO, I expect i'll be using this for 5+ years. If you are on the fence hope this review helps you out. Buy it you wont be disappointed.

This company is fantastic! The website is easy to use, and very helpful in making sure that the purchase will work for your needs. In addition to that, the price was the cheapest I had found anywhere. The product was shipped extremely quickly and it arrived nicely packaged. No damage whatsoever. The item itself is great! So easy to use, and so many great features! Our favorite feature is the Bluetooth. It's so nice to be able to use hands free calling! I would definitely recommend this company as well as this product.

This unit has many features and sounds great for the price. The knob for the sound level is a little hard to use because if you hit or tap the knob it go into a feature mode. The tuner section has great reception for a unit of this price.

August from Saint Petersburg, FL
i wrote down the all features i wanted and surfed the web til i found the cheapest way of getting them in one unit, which led me here. if you've read my other reviews on this site, then you know i'm a harsh electronics critic. this radio has exceeded my expectations. it sounds great, and it allowed me to totally tailor my bi-amp set-up (using a 4 channel amp and a 2 channel amp for sub). supremely tunable and very user-friendly. the on-board amp is kinda weak but i'm not using it anyway. BT audio, HD radio, USB, hands-free calling... what's not to like? i also like the absence of 50 million buttons on the front; it looks clean and uncluttered. i put it in my old truck -which i'm now driving more than my primary car... if i could give it 6 stars for value i would

Excellent product. User interface is great except there are no preset station buttons. It takes preset stations but it's hard to find them at first. This really is a non issue for me as I primarily use the bluetooth feature. All in all, this is a great product.

My customer was looking for a cheap inexpensive radio, to replace her factory head unit. What she got, was a CD Player, Bluetooth Hands Free calling and an external USB port for IPad, and an Aux port. She got a lot of bang for her buck!

Just like every Pioneer deck I've ever owned. Great products! This is replacing another Pioneer deck that has been in my Ram 3500 work truck for about 12 years. Dust, dirt, moisture, extreme vibration. That's the environment it lives in all day everyday and its lasted 12 yes. I know this one will be as good. Its a beautiful deck too. Almost too nice for my truck. Sonic has always been good to deal with.

Review by
Charles from huron, SD
This unit has a lot of features for its low price. 3 sets of 4v pre outs are awesome. hd radio helps me get stations but sounds bad compared to my deh-63ub. thats not that big of a deal compared to the small text size on the screen i am a diabetic going through retinopathy and can see to drive fine but couldn't read the buttons or the screen text. Also when using a usb drive with mp3 audio i get a weird white noise sound that raises and lowers with the volume control and the rear usb is a pain i really like having front usb.

I bought this for my 2000 Dodge Durango. It fit perfect and installation was no problem. Bluetooth works great with my Galaxy S4 and I also have my old iPhone 4 plugged in to the USB. Have had no complaints about anyone not being able to hear me through the mic during phone calls. Color options are awesome, just wish there were more moving backgrounds to choose from. Over all great head unit for the price and since Sonic Electronix through in the wire adapter and harness just made it even better. Would recommend this to anyone.

I bought the stereo after my old pioneer stopped working (my fault). I prefer pioneer stereos over other brands, the sound quality is just better. After i installed the stereo i noticed a huge difference in sound, the bass was 10 times louder and the audio was very clear and clean. The stereo just looks and sounds amazing.

Bought this because I figured it would be similar to the 6500 that died after 5 months of light usage. Does not control iPhone over Bluetooth like the 6500 did. Controls and menu's are limited. Sound quality is good. Gave it a 3 for durability but suspect its a similar platform to the 6500 so who knows.

This stereo is the best ive ever owned and ive owned quite a few. it has the best sound quality ive heard. The bass is clear and pounds, the mids sound awesome and the highs are great. I have a champ pro 12 with 2 450 kenwoods pushing it in the trunk. Havent got to redoing the highs and mids with a amp yet but have the nice pioneer 6x9s and 5 1/4 with separate tweets. I will be getting some newer 5-1/4s very soon + a single amp to run the sub (to many wires in the trunk) and amps for mids and highs. Hope it holds up like the other pioneer products ive owned. Thanks again Sonic yall kick butt, and like i said ill be back fo sho. :)

Needed to replace my old headunit so i got this. For the price its pretty good considering all the features it has. 22x4 rms, hpf, lpf, bluetooth, mixtrax, pandora,aux, 5band eq, sub settings 3 4V outputs. Easy to use. bluetooth syncs to my Pantech Burst quick and easy, and call quality is great. Helped my entire system. I would recommend this unit to anyone!

Review by
Alex from Crown Point, IN
Just got this radio for my wife and I cant be happier with it. Installed it a few days ago and everything works the way it should, bluetooth streaming is very good, with much improved quality of sound over another pioneer cd player with 3.5mm aux. Hookup for streaming music, hd radio sounds good and remote comes in handy. Bluetooth phone works excellent. Typical pioneer quality. Only problem I had was poor reception during initial install which was corrected by the Sonic customer service reps. Installing the harnesses due to the radio being HD, power antenna wire from antenna adapter, power antenna wire from the wiring harness and power antenna wire from radio had to be joined together, which provides much improved and strengthened signal for the hd radio and eliminated static. I'm not really digging the removal of buttons for stations, but I guess thats the new trend these days.

Review by
Sam from Fairport, NY
This is a great head unit. It has clear sound and lots of features. The color changing screen and buttons light up my whole car at night, it looks sweet with matrix running. The rear usb is great because I think from usb just looks ugly and I can keep my ipod tucked away in the hand rest. It dose come with a mic for the blue-tooth and a usb extender cable with was plenty long to run inside my console. I love the sub controls built into it. The low pass and gain come in handy when you cant reach the controls on your amp when driving and the high pass filter eliminates bass distortion from door and rear speakers. ONLY 2 cons I can say of is the screen can be a tad bit hard to see in the sun if you don't have a good color picked, and it can be a little hard to navigate wile driving especial since you have to go though a menu just to pause a song, and you cant change the volume when you in a menu so it can take a second to turn down. Overall an amazing product only thing it could use is a glare free finish and more buttons for better navigation.

Review by
Tyler from Glencoe, MN
I bought this to replace my Alpine IDA-X305s and dang is this deck amazing! I went from 3 2volt pre-outs to 3 4volt pre-outs and does it make a difference. The user friendly menu is great too, doesn't take me long to change something. The Graphic EQ is cool to have too, it can be a little touchy tho but you'll be able to find where you want it.
I defiantly recommended this deck!
April 22, 2012 | Great product, as expected from Pioneer |

The MIXTRAX is pretty cool, and it just has the sound quality and "user freindly" features and controls that Pioneer has always provided. I would recomend this to anybody, for just a HU replacment up to building a complete stereo system.

This car deck fit perfectly in my 1994 4Runner I ran 4 speakers off it with no amp and they still performed extremely well. The Mixtracks can get annoying sometimes but its supper easy to turn off and on with just the puch of one button I would definitely buy this again! Great job Pioneer and Great customer service Sonic

The 8400BH is a good stero for the money. Teo of the great features is the fact it has bluetooth built into the unit. The remote is nice while you are drving on the highway. Overall it was a solid purchase from the product, ontime delivery and a follow up by Sonice customer service.

Gary from VillaPark, Il
I replaced the old Monsoon stereo in my 03 Grand Am because it had seen better days. I wanted both HD and Bluetooth and the DEH-P8400BH
had both plus 2USB plugs. I also replaced al 4 speakers with a low budget set costing under $50. This unit sounds great even with the cheap speakers and the extra HD channels are clear and great to listen to. Bluetooth works just fine and since our law says we need hands free while driving I dont need to pull off the road to take a phonecall.Its a great stereo for the price.
January 21, 2014 | Much better than any unit that starts with a K. |

Crystal clear studio quality sound, ( I've worked in recording studios), and all the accoutrements to make a user friendly pleasing sound system experience for the road.
The five band eq, many parameter subwoofer adjustments, hi and low pass filter adjustments make for a perfectly tailored studio in my car. I replaced a new unit from the K Company at the same price. This Pioneer is worth twice the price if you go by sound, looks and ease of use.

Kenneth from Melbourne, FL
I purchased this head unit in the beginning of 2012. Still going strong today. It has a ton of features packed in for the price point. Three pair of 4V RCA outputs, a nice looking screen that is capable of fitting three full lines of information (versus 1 or 2 on many other units), a HPF, and one other feature that a really love that most head units don't have...... rear USB. Nearly every other single-din head unit around this price point has their USB port on the front face. This means I have an ugly cord hanging from my dash and I have to stash my iPod somewhere. Rear USB lets me stash the iPod in the glove box, see no cords, and keep everything out of sight from thieves.
I do have a couple of small gripes though. First, I hate the forward/back lever surrounding the volume knob. It's something Pioneer started trying out and I think it's super cheesy and trinket-y. Second, the USB connection to iPods is not flawless. Sometimes the iPod doesn't pause and turns off when I turn off the car. Sometimes it won't unpause and I have to dig in the glove box, only to find out that the iPod is locked up in kind of a half-Pioneer half-iPod state and must be hard reset. Both are pretty rare (once every ~6 weeks), but after 2 years of use, it's annoying. Last, the call quality on the bluetooth is not too good. I've tried moving the microphone to multiple locations over my period of ownership, but zero improvement. All in all, a great offering. It has a a wonderful sound to it. I would HIGHLY recommend Pioneer's head units, but probably not this model.

When it comes to audio, you mostly go for Pioneer. And this sub is exactly why you go for Pioneer. They don't cheap out or half ass anything, they just focus on how to make their stuff sound and perform awesome.
This thing just rumbles everything, hits the lowest tones and sends the bass marching out. It's butt ugly, but at least there's not chrome and skeletons everywhere.

Jesse from Spotswood, NJ
I always buy Pioneer head units because to me they are the best on the market. This one was no different, very happy with the product as far as it being a stereo goes. What I'm not happy about is that to fit it in a 2006 chevy cobalt I had to break off the plastic in where the radio goes and remove this metal crossbar that was held on with 2 bolts. It was really frustrating trying to figure out why it wouldn't fit in and it made me have to break and remove part of the car to fit it. I've had other headunits in the car and never had a problem, my guess is that the large heat sink on the back of the radio was what was contacting the metal bar. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for this issue. Please state that it will not fit in chevy cobalts without modification.

Another quality unit by the Pioneer people. Packed with features this unit delivers quality HD sound. The blue tooth feature makes for clear and easy communication. Phone integration is snap for easy access to your phone book. Overall this is a great unit for single din applications, the low Sonic Electronix price made it a value that couldn't be passed up. Don't pay more elsewhere.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi Arabia on Friday rejected its seat on the U.N. Security Council hours after it was elected to it, in a rare and startling move aimed at protesting the body's failure to resolve the Syrian civil war.
The Saudi discontent appeared largely directed at its longtime ally, the United States, reflecting more than two years of frustration. The two are at odds over a number of Mideast issues, including how Washington has handled some of the region's crises, particularly in Egypt and Syria. It also comes as ties between the U.S. and Iran, the Saudi's regional foe, appear to be tepidly improving.
Saudi Arabia showed its displeasure last month when Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal declined to address the General Assembly meeting. Days later, the kingdom's unease with Washington appeared to manifest when President Barack Obama spoke to Iran's new President Hassan Rouhani in a groundbreaking telephone call.
The kingdom was given one of the rotating seats on the 15-member council in a vote Thursday.
On Friday, the Saudi Foreign Ministry issued a statement rejecting the seat, saying the U.N. Security Council had failed in multiple cases in the Middle East. Particularly, it said U.N. failure to act has enabled Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime to perpetrate the killings of its people, including the use of chemical weapons. The Syrian regime denies using chemical weapons.
"Allowing the ruling regime in Syria to kill its people and burn them with chemical weapons in front of the entire world and without any deterrent or punishment is clear proof and evidence of the U.N. Security Council's inability to perform its duties and shoulder its responsibilities," the ministry said in the statement carried on the state news agency.
Saudi Arabia backs the rebels fighting to overthrow Assad in a war that has killed some 100,000 people since early 2011. Repeated attempts by the U.N. Security Council to address the conflict have fallen apart, usually because Assad's ally Russia has blocked strong resolutions. Still, in a rare consensus, the council passed a resolution on destroying Syria's chemical arsenal after an Aug. 21 chemical attack.
Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Arab leaders have backed the Syrian rebels with weapons and financing in part to counter their regional rival Iran, which has strongly thrown its weight behind its ally, Assad. At the same time, the friendly gestures between the U.S. and Iran's new government have made Saudi Arabia uneasy.
Russia said it was "surprised" and "baffled by the reasons that the kingdom gave to explain its position" — particularly after the chemical weapons resolution. That resolution was passed after Russia brokered Damascus' consent to surrender its chemical arsenal, which it had long kept secret.
There appear to be some efforts under way to get the Saudis to recant. Britain's deputy U.N. ambassador Peter Wilson told reporters his team is looking at what precisely the Saudis meant by their statement and are talking to them "to get a little bit more background on what lies behind this."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he has "taken note" of the media reports of the Saudi rejection, "but I would like to caution you that I have received no official notification in this regard."
"We also are looking forward to working very closely in addressing many important challenges with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," particularly the Syrian war and other issues, including combatting "terrorism and nuclear proliferation," he said.
He said member states are holding discussions on how to deal with the Saudi move. Ban talked to a senior official in the Saudi government after the news broke, a U.N. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the discussion was private.

Lewis Allen Poem "Strange Fruit"
What is the first stanza talking about?
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots
Black bodies swingin' in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
how does the imagery helps to communicate the general theme of the poem?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The "strange fruit" being described is referring to black people who have been lynched. Possibly, they were beaten before being hanged and/or their bodies were mutilated after they died - this would account for "Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots." The "black bodies swingin' in the southern breeze" are literally the dead, battered and mangled bodies of black people who have been lynched by southern racists.
The rest of the poem goes on to contrast the peaceful and refined southern countryside with the horrific scene of the earlier lines. The beauty of the land clashes with the gruesome and distorted corpses. The wonderfully pleasant sweet smell of the magnolias, that most iconic of southern flowers, contrasts with the stench of decaying human flesh. In the midst of the growth around the south, there is this "strange fruit" of death.

I'll have to admit… I've never actually hosted Thanksgiving and cooked the entire meal myself. Last year, I provided the space, but my mother and mother-in-law brought most of the food.

WDW Multi-allergy & autism dining reviews: February 2014
It'll probably take me a while to get these all written up but I figure it's time to get started. I'll try to include notes about things that are relevant to my 16yo DD who has Asperger Syndrome as well as about all of our multitude of allergies.
Each restaurant's review will start the same (copy/paste) because I've gotten into the habit lately of putting links to specific restaurant reviews in responses to people's questions and this way the list of allergies will be there even when only linking to one post in the thread. We were at WDW February 21, 2014 through March 2, 2014. We at WAY too much but boy did we eat well. We're a fun group to dine with. Three of the four of us has lists of allergies plus DD16 is autistic so dining is always a challenge. I'll try to explain my thoughts from both an autism perspective (DD16 is very high functioning) as well as an allergy perspective. Our allergies are as follows. Me: gluten, milk, sesame, hazelnut, pork, peanuts (minor - cross contamination not a concern) DD16: gluten, milk, eggs, citrus (citric acid is ok), yeast, msg, peanuts (minor - cross contamination not a concern), star anise DD13: gluten, milk, hazelnuts, brazil nuts, sesame, hops, peanuts (minor - cross contamination not a concern), blueberry, cranberry, raw carrots, raw peaches, raw fruit skins besides grapes, citrus (citric acid is ok), lima beans, soy products other than Tofutti and Follow Your Heart (soy's not the problem but we haven't identified what ingredient in Silk and other soy products cause Oral Allergy Syndrome) I'll update this first post indicating which post number contains the review for which restaurant, kind of like a table of contents. During our trip we ate at the following restaurants. Be Our Guest - supper - post #19 Boma - supper - post #2 Boma - breakfast (twice) - post #12 California Grill - supper (adults only) - post #10 Flame Tree BBQ - lunch - post #3 Grand Floridian Cafe - lunch - post #7 Jiko - supper - post #5 The Mara - supper (several times) - post #20 Tusker House - lunch

12 Days of Christmas - Real Life Catholic Music DaVinci Code Mystery Solved - Video Interview
Catholic PRWire
Contact: Rebecca Even
Telephone: 602-430-6800
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phoenix, AZ (December 16, 2013) - Today, on Catholic Online, three different videos were uploaded that provide first person eyewitness testimony about 17th Century Jesuit letters which enumerated the 12 Days of Christmas as a code or catechism for Irish Catholics.
Father H. Stockert�s first person testimony cuts through the raging and erroneous internet debate on whether the song �The 12 Days of Christmas� was originally a code for Catholics at a time of persecution in the 17th century.
Fifty years ago, Father Stockert, a Byzantine priest, stumbled upon these17th century letters from one Jesuit priest in Dublin, Ireland to another in Douai, France while researching his doctoral thesis at Georgetown University. The letters enumerated the 12 Days of Christmas, formerly thought of as merely a children�s nursery rhyme, as a code for Catholics to teach their children the faith.
Thirty years ago, Father Stockert released this �juicy tidbit� on the internet. The text of the story went viral and an ugly internet debate began. With complete disregard for the history of Catholic persecution at this time in history, one writer mused �Why would Catholics need to write a code at that time, Protestants and Catholics basically believe the same thing.�
Author Rebecca Even of Prayersongs Publishing released the videos along with a song, a book, and an ornament kit reflecting the Catholic meanings behind the lovable and popular song. Even�s version of the song, �Our Father Gave To Us The Twelve Days of Christmas,� takes the traditional song and transforms the words to reflect the true spiritual meanings.
Rebecca said, �It is kind of a real life musical Da Vinci Code!� She also stated, �I am hoping and praying that the message of Living All Twelve Days of Christmas goes viral to our worldwide Catholic community.� Especially for Americans who struggle with consumerism like no one else, �celebrating all 12 days of Christmas can be completely transformative in cutting through the chaos of consumerism.�
Even stated �for years now, we have displayed our Knights of Columbus car magnet and have tried to keep �Christ in Christmas�. However, it was not until we began celebrating all 12 days of Christmas that our family figured out HOW to do to this.� Even, hopes her song, book and ornament kit, all available digitally, will help families �Keep Christ in Christmas�. Christmas is not a day it is a season and when celebrated that way brings the peace which surpasses all understanding!

Global warming: 97% bunk
In an editorial in The Citizen on Feb. 26 Joseph Garofalo makes several points about global warming (now called climate change). I would like to point out a few issues I see with his argument.
He cites a recent survey which claims that 97 percent of scientists agree that humans are causing global warming. There are numerous articles available that point out serious flaws with this survey. You can do an Internet search for "97 percent debunked" and review them at your leisure.
One article in The American Thinker noted that a review of this survey "found that only 1 - 3 percent of respondents explicitly stated agreement with the IPCC declarations on global warming."
There are, of course, a lot of counter-arguments on the Internet; again, you can peruse them at leisure. However, to claim that there is "97 percent agreement" based on this survey is an extreme stretch.
This appears to be another case of the global warming alarmists running with a study that can't stand up to scrutiny (there have been numerous cases in the past where they tried to prevent anyone who wasn't a true believer from reviewing their work).
A second point is that the misleading survey only claims that there is agreement that humans are causing global warming. This leaves out the following questions: (1) will it be beneficial or harmful overall; (2) if it is harmful on balance, will the cost be significant; and (3) is it cheaper to adapt to any impacts than to greatly increase the cost of energy and other necessities of life?
A third point is the claim that there must be some type of "corporate conspiracy" that controls the media and government that is fighting against the brave scientists trying to save us.
This ignores the fact that there is a mountain of money available to corporations that play along with "Big Green" (Solyndra, GE, etc.). There is also a mountain of research money available to scientists who support "Big Green."
There have been a number of cases over the past 10 years where scientists who are true believers have argued that anyone who disagrees with them should be professionally ostracized or stripped of credentials.
If there is any conspiracy it is on the part of the true believers, the ClimateGate emails clearly showed that the true believers were working very hard behind the scenes to manipulate the definition of "peer reviewed" to prop up their case.
A final point in his editorial is the old Malthusian argument that resources are finite and the growing human population is going to doom us all. This theory has been proven wrong time and again (anybody remember the "Population Bomb" craze of the '60s and '70s?). People today live longer, healthier and more pleasant lives than ever before.
Our best bet to ensure a better future is not to stop using affordable, plentiful energy sources and to change to expensive and unreliable ones (windmills and solar panels, for example).
The same people who want us to lower our standard of living and reduce our freedom because of climate change were asking us to do the same thing because of global warming 10 years ago and overpopulation 20 years before that.
I will admit that I believe that it is possible that the true believers are right and global warming will turn out to be a serious problem. However, they haven't made a remotely convincing case and have been caught cherry-picking data and changing their story.
They stopped calling it global warming when it turned out that the planet wasn't warming anymore (it hasn't for the past 15+ years). Many of their high priests such as Al Gore made predictions about ice caps and snow-free winters that have been proven false. Finally, their computer models have failed time and again.
They have an extremely shaky case to justify the large sacrifices they ask us to make.

97% confirmed. http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus by an authoritative office of the US federal government. If you think NASA is not authoritative, then you probably beleive that man never landed on the moon (and returned)
When the transition to renewable energy is complete, the oil comapny and the coal company will be out of business. Ever long to take a ride on a steam powered passenger train ? Miss it ?
The science confirming global warming is simple and proven. There is no scientific debate is global warming real. Scince confirmed man is causing it. It comes from buring clao and oil (mostly). The scientific debate is about how much trouble we are in. And that is a tougher question.
Science Magazine
talks about a survey of the literature and supports the 97% consensus calim.
We know that oil and coal are rich and powerful and the idea of going from hero to zero in a couple of decades and being able to see the whole thing coming is not too exciting so it is likely they will fund efforts to delay the transition - to the tune of billions of dollars in their pockets. Could it be that te 3% desenting opion about climate change is from people who get their paycheck from oil or coal ?
Want to know more about climate change ? The USA government is a world leading resoruce on the subject.
http://climate.nasa.gov/ - maybe NASA is a sham organization ?
http://www.noaa.gov/climate.html - USA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - sham website ?
http://www.eia.gov/ - the USA energy Information Administraiton ?
USA Nation Renewable Energy Laboratory ?
Want to know about the path forward? Like wind resource off the coast of Gerogia ?
US Department of energy ?
The always feared and loathed EPA
The world bank
Note the .gov extension.
International Organizaitons - a United nations Organization.
When oil and coal go bandrupt, the money spent on the fuel today will be freed up in a renewable economic dividend to be spent on other things.
Condition - How foolish of you to mistake scientists' opinions with truth. Only Fox "news" has the power to declare the truth by decree.
It's a sham and a pretext for the government to takeover the energy industry, just like the sham of caring about health care. No STF, it's all about power and wealth. Government paid useful idiots, bought a paid for by the government, are not objective scientists. They are what they are.
The fraud is obvious to many but not most, that's what the governments of the world are counting on. Sheepel.

One Cause. One Voice.
Plan to attend the nation's capital for the 2014 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) to Unite for Good.
Rally for the powerful credit union cause and connect with leaders from across the United States.
CUNA GAC is the biggest week of the year for credit unions. More than 4,000 credit union people come together to:
• Hear from influential legislators, policymakers and credit union experts on the political landscape and its effect on credit unions
• Identify new strategies for building and maintaining America's awareness and trust
• Network with credit union leaders
• Attend breakout sessions on the hottest issues in the movement
• Tour the largest vendor showcase in the financial services industry

Please wait for word from Kelly Fuhlbrigge for registration information!
This past year, CUNA and the leagues launched a shared strategic vision for credit unions nationwide: Americans choose credit unions as their best financial partner.
To make our vision a reality, we must come together to remove barriers – like the threat to the credit union tax status - create awareness and foster service excellence. We all need to Unite for Good.
We have an opportunity to accomplish a lot for the movement this year, and need your involvement to make it happen. Come to Washington, D.C. to tell our shared story and protect the credit union difference.

Attorney Andrew Keeney
Kaufman & Canoles, P.C.
Credit Unions and their members confront on a daily basis with social media.
A hot topic for credit unions is social media, but it has its risks, especially potential consumer risks. There are marketing and advertising issues. There are privacy issues. Add to the significant risk areas the effort to deal with compliance risks and legal risks, along with reputation risks and privacy rights. Our speaker; Andy Keeney, a nationally recognized credit union attorney believes that the biggest risk is a credit union's reputation risk. With just one poor review or negative comment on social media, years of a credit union's success can be undermined. Come and learn more about these compliance risks and what steps your credit union can undertake to minimize the risks.

Casey's 1Q profit beats expectations
ANKENY, Iowa (AP) — Casey's General Stores Inc.'s shares jumped in after-hours trading Monday after the convenience store operator reported fiscal first-quarter profit that beat market expectations, although its revenue fell below forecasts.
The company earned $39 million, or $1.01 per share, for the quarter that ended July 31. That's compared with $39.4 million, or $1.03 per share, in the same quarter last year.
Casey's total revenue was nearly flat at $1.87 billion as increased sales of beer, prepared foods and other items in its stores offset weaker gasoline revenue.
Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting the company to earn 95 cents per share on revenue of $1.93 billion.
The company had a busy quarter, completing 26 major remodels, adding pizza delivery to a number of stores and turning many of its sites into 24-hour stores.
Casey's, based in Ankeny, Iowa, operates stores across the Midwest.
Shares of the company jumped $2.40, or 4.3 percent, to $58.06 in after-hours trading following the release of the earnings report.
