The XLR out on the DT provides a transformer tapped direct out with cabinet simulation.
Here are some questions I have, maybe someone can answer them...
- does transformer tapped mean they are pulling the same audio that is going to the speaker including power section distortion just at a much lower level straight from the output transformer?
- how is cab sim applied? Does that signal then go back into the DT for processing to add the cab sim?
- if I am already using cab sims with my amp/preamp modeling, why would I want another cab sim applied to the output here?
- if it is the same type of cab sim as with the amp/pre, what cab are they using? what mic are they using?
- is it linked to the internal amp models stored or to the one being used from the POD?
- can the cab sim be adjusted or changed with an external editor in any way?

Feet usually have an arch on the inside portion of the foot. A flat foot is a foot that has lost or never developed this arch. It is often associated with the lower part of the legs being angled outwards
Most flat feet are flexible. This type rarely causes problems and usually do not require treatment. Rigid flat feet can cause problems and are best treated.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Infants and young children naturally have flat feet. The arch should develop over time. Sometimes, the arch does not develop. It is not always clear why this happens.
Flat feet may develop because of:
Factors that increase your chance of flat feet include:
Flat feet may not cause any symptoms at all. Rigid flat feet may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and foot exam will be done. Flat feet can be diagnosed by appearance. To determine if the foot is rigid, you may be asked to do some simple tasks.
If the flat foot is rigid and causing problems, you will be referred to a foot specialist. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include the following:
Physical therapy may relieve discomfort. You may be given a specific stretching and strength program. You may also have treatment to help manage the discomfort.
Exercises can help with the strength of the surrounding muscles. It may relieve some of the pressure in the foot.
Orthotics are shoe inserts that support the foot. These inserts may help to reduce pain and disability in some people. In mild cases, a well-fitting pair of shoes with arch support may be all that is needed.
Flat feet caused by nerve or muscle disease may need special braces.
Feet that do not respond to the treatments above may need surgery. The surgery will help to create a supportive arch.
Well-fitted shoes with good arch support may help prevent flat feet. Maintaining a healthy weight may also lower wear and tear on the arches.

I've never seen a more distorted methodology. Poll internet users REALLLLY
Waht undemocratic arrogance to call an election and possibly deter participation.
The actual turnout will decide.
Non political reasons especially the weather and any barriers caused by Sandy and the disgraceful attempts to restrict the franchise.
Then there is the EC with potential unfaithful electors..Perhasp the system would be altered if it mattered the unelected Federal Reserve will continue pulling the strings whoever the marionette may be in the National beauty contest.
If Mitt is crushed a wake up for the GOP to flush off the tea stain if Obama flops will it be Hilary's overture? God bless America for few else do.
It would seem that Mr. Obama has many more ECVs at risk under the Economist's curious invention of the "Leaning to toss-up" category.
If we put the generous TE "Leaning to toss-up" credits given to Mr. Obama, back into the "neck and neck" pot, Mr. Obama loses 52 ECVs of the 253 ECVs which TE generously credits him. That takes him to 201.
If we put the meager TE "Leaning to toss-up" credits given to Mr. Romney back into the "neck and neck" pot, Mr. Romney's ECV figure drops only slightly to 191.
Interestingly, 201 and 191 is what the web site RealClearPolitics has the candidates at respectively.
The Economist shows its rampant biases once again. Take the RealClearPolitics figures, ignore the margins for error, and bake up a faux comparison.
Offensive journalism once again.
America does not need to be lead down the path to mediocrity like the UK. Yes, one imagines the Economist editors would like some company to reduce their loneliness, but one hopes it won't be coming from America. Maybe they should embrace the French.
Wow man that post was informative. Considering the average margin in MN is +5% leaning to toss-up is generous and actually pretty conservative. For Romney to win there would have be a built in bias toward Obama greater than 4% for him to win or for it to be reasonably close. The funny thing is simple Economics tells us that no rational actor, Pollster, would undermine their future profitibility simply because they "like" on option more than the other. That would be ridiculous and actually be a good piece of evidence to use against the Rational Actor theory in the first place. Which is actually a worse outcome for Republicans than the polls being right because it undermines their entire economic ideology. Rather than getting angry at a Nuetral foreign news outlet like the Economist which has no vested interest in this race and is surprisingly conservative on its Toss-up definitions go police voting stations for Voter fraud and make sure there aren't any Black Panthers scaring old white ladies. If you really want to feed your delusion try dickmorris.com it is written at a third grade level and should suffice.
Now the results are coming in. If President Obama carries Nevada, an apology is due...
Update: Nevada goes to President Obama. So, the Economist's analysis is bang on money in both directions.
up 2 now safty re-election inviromnet
good luck obama
If I were an American, I would vote tomorrow for... basketball or dinner with the family. Choose from a bad or a bad not a big choice.
Nevertheless, Obama better choice than another candidate, at least he is more "flexible". So, good luck, mr.Obama.
Are you kidding? Looking at how Romney has flip-flopped on issues, I'd say he's more flexible!
Nice image. I bet he wishes he could have flipped instead of flopped on the auto bailout. Kind of makes him look like a big bad jerk to blue collar Ohio and Michigan, That's an awful lot of voters to alienate.

Ryan says Obama's policies threaten 'Judeo-Christian' values
So vote for the Mormon????
So Harry Reid, the most powerful man in the houses of congress, is a Mormon.
But that is just A OK.
What idiots lefties are.
Hedgy is not noticably a lefty. He just has no use for folly and stupidity -- whether from right or left. (And probably not much use for Senator Reid either -- it's just that Reid was irrelevant to a comment on the Presidential race.)
A) He is the leader of a party in one of the houses, voted by the other Senators.
B) He's not the most powerful man in Congress. I could argue it is Paul Ryan, Chairman of the House Budget Committee, or John Boehner Speaker of the House, or Eric "Ideolog" Cantor, as all spending bills - and goose-stepping - begins in the House.
C) If Ryan wants to play the "religion card" he has to know there will be backlash by those who are not Evangelicals
(then again, maybe BY some Evangelicals).
Actually, the Speaker of the House is considerably more powerful, as evidenced by the fact that the position is number two for succession, and for that matter, David Inouye, President pro tempore of the Senate, is more powerful.
What idiots righties are.
Have I ever told you about our Potemkin President?
Obama: Election up to supporters while he's a 'prop'
I think you may have missed the point of the post Brian.
The Mormons (and/or their wholly owned interests) hold a good deal of the mining and timber rights in this country. That's an awful lot, and it seems as though there may be a concerted effort of some kind happening here. I am frightened of any organization that came up with their foundation in this manner, what with golden tablets and hats and polygamy and other craziness going on.
Can you say Cult? Compare it to Scientology, another very high grossing "religion". There are some interesting parallels, if you are really into economics you will notice them, if not back to your sandbox and stop making other people's arguments for them.
The House of Representatives is not subordinate to the Senate.
Hi there Stan, thanks for your reply...I am not sure what you mean by discrimination on income intelligence, all have access to free education in many nordic countries, and like I say their's are the currencies to invest in over this economic hardship. I think is is rough that the middle classes are the main tax payers and propping up everyone without getting much back, I'd be mad too.In the US the top 10% of the population gets 48 cents of every dollar earned. The social mobility of the US is imagined.This income distribution is not good for anyone except the corporations, particularly the middle classes.Your system favours corporation's rights over individual citizens, hence the environmental and social impact of lots of their industries from porn to fast food to oil. Sure we have corporations too, but we also have more checks legally and socially to make sure they serve the community rather than just preying off it.I don't blame you for being cross at paying large taxes and then shelling out huge amounts for education and health.I think associating European socialism with soviet communism doesn't make sense and is black and white distorted thinking. Totally different creatures.
I am a Brit living in the US and I am always astounded at the way
Americans talk about social policies in Europe as tho they are the same thing as Communism under the USSR -
they are very, very ignorant of foreign affairs anyway so you all have to be a little tolerant - they get led around by their noses by the vested interests, which Mr Romney well represents - see his "47% comments" for where he REALLY is on the lower classes.
Just one point - you should know that over here ALL Americans who are not actually wealthy consider themselves 'middle class' - it is just a propaganda thing that is used to make them all feel good.
You are wasting your breath. For example, pick a country and ask 100 Americans to point it out. Tell them a body of water it is adjacent to and unless it starts with pacific or atlantic (or the gulf with all our oil in it) they will stare at you blankly.
If they can't grasp geography, then geopolitics is sure as hell out, forget about world history (how did those borders get there anyway?) and then you can say socialized medicine is a bad thing after being hospitalized for a week in switzerland or italy with no health insurance. How about the single mom of 4 schoolteacher on food stamps voting for Romney? Makes no sense. Evolutionarily speaking we are already dead.
Americans do not like to think. Every political discussion I get into revolves around me making an observation and seeing if there is evidence to support a cause, and the Fox junkies do what their talking heads do, foam at the mouth about how he is not even a US citizen. Like the FBI or the CIA can be fooled by a social organizer. The FBI has computers and sh!t.
What totally baffles me is the assertion that policies that consider the whole community are 'unchristian' and cater to lazy people. If you are socially excluded, what is the point in trying. We are all brothers and sisters, like our kids some need more nurturing than others, not to be sent away from the dinner table hungry because we can fight our way to the front of the queue. Society should be a nurturing force, not a jungle or rat race that is scary to walk around without a gun due to anger and inequality. What people in the US pay for education is astronomical, I was looking at postgrad degrees in my profession 40K fees A YEAR, and the salaries there are not that high...add astronomical health insurance(that costs about three times more than my TOTAL yearly tax bill where I live, I don't think there is even maternity pay in the US (so much for valuing the family)...and I don't think there is even pensionable rights...a very poor deal for your money invested in society...because what is being spent there by middle class people is not flowing back in...I think we get a good deal for our money up here, it's not perfect, but where I live, there are certainly a lot less social problems, (it's not utopia) there is more care beyond tribalism associated with particular religious affiliations and it's pretty safe to walk home at night in the city here
Nice of you to try to make them see their follies, but you are preaching to a segment of Americans that have neither the education nor intelligence to understand what you are on about?
vote for me!
"and I'll set you free"
Ball of Confusion by the Temptations
Just had to throw that great song in there....
Regardless of what happens in this election on Tuesday there is roughly a 0% of Romney breaking 300 electoral votes which means that no Republican will have received 300 electoral votes in 20 years. This has to be a disturbing trend for Republicans. There problem is becoming systematic and soon it may be impossible to win the primary and the general election. Bush won two terms with 272 and 284 EVs and Clinton and Obama will most likely have 300+ EVs in their 4 elections.
This is astounding and means for the sake of their party they are going to have to start distancing themselves from their fringe to be a successful national party again. I have done a very scientific straw poll of 4 affluent Republicans and 3 are voting Obama and the other isn't voting. Why? Because of the Mitt they saw in the primary. All four would have voted for Massachusetts Mitt or even 2003 Mitt but they can't trust him because of how far to the right he had to go in the primary. I know this is a really low number of people and really is only scientific if you are from Alabama but in reality it aligns itself with the endorsements from Powell, the Economist, and Mayor Bloomberg. Everyone who isn't from the South fears the Republican fringe and it will slowly doom the party nationally unless they have a moment of clarity which would be great for everyone. That is why people are going to vote against the Republicans more so than for Obama. By the way elelction.princeton.edu just put re-election probability for Obama at 98.2% so this is pretty much a done deal. Time to move forward with or without the Republican party.
Looks like you are going to be very disappointed. I guess you have been turning away from the fact that almost all the polls are based on a democrat voter turnout equivalent or higher to that in 2008. Which it will not come close to.
The following article by Real Clear Politics, a bi-partisan pollster, is very informative.
There will be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth by lefties next week. They won't be able to believe how their buddy Nate Silver led them astray so far.
I am in for some amusing times.
RCP has their split at 290-248 Obama. For Silver and every single other poll agregate to be wrong at the same time would require an extremely consistent and uniform democratic bias. The only people assuming a Romney win are using gut feelings so it will probably be the "lefties" laughing when Ted Nugent's head explodes on Youtube. The fact that a clear partisan like the author of that article will only go as far as to predict 278-260 Romney actually coincides perfectly with my initial post which would continue the 300 EV drought even under those unlikely circumstances. So that piece actually makes my confidence rise so thank you for the uplifting link. He actually thinks Obama will lose Wisconsin a state that hasn't gone republican since 1984, an epic Reagan landslide, there is almost no chance for him to win there he hasn't lead in a poll there in months and only Rasmussen has gone far enough to give him a tie. So I flipped Wisconsin and it ends up like 2000 all over again 270-268. The fact that he is conceding Ohio and hinging on Wisconsin, Iowa and New Hampshire should tell you all you need to know and that is from a known partisan. It is looking really grim for Romney when right wing pundits are throwing there hat in the 278 no Ohio projection especially considering Republicans never win when they don't carry Ohio. Obama will end up with between 290 and 333 EVs and win the popular vote by 1.5%. Book it.
Just checked Rasmussen's daily tracking poll showing a national 49-49 tie and more importantly that Romney is only getting 58% of the white which is significantly lower than what he needs to win. Most of the estimates I have seen have said he needs to be in the +60% range to even compete and yes this is the data from Rasmussen so the news gets even worse for Mitt.
You are right!!! These people are crazy on here!!! I am leaving this site. I can't take the bias an more!!! Sorry to leave you and some others, but I am on your side!!!
Have you checked today?
Rasmussen give Romney a 1% lead.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone.
I am going to have such fun with you boys here on Wednesday.
So this morning as I was cherry picking polls to make me feel better about an almost certain outcome I found this one poll showing Obama 49-45 National but it was by some lefty pollster Democracy Corps. Wait a second why would I look at one poll when I could look at an average of all of them like RCP? RCP has there no toss-up projection at 303-235 just like almost every other aggregate. As a side note I was listening to Rush Limbaugh today, this is how I punish myself for making bad decisions on the weekend, and literally listened to him say he only trusts Dick Morris polling because it aligns with his "gut feeling" about the race. When Rush isn't confident it does not bode well for Romney. Rush is confident about things that are obviously false alot so that is the 35th subjective nail in the coffin since you are only interested in subjective analysis as you continue to cherry pick favoralble polls.
Interesting to see. That is with a national poll of voters. I assume the reference to voters means likely voters?
However, it seems the electoral college still initially favors President Obama:
"The Rasmussen ....projections now show the president with 237 Electoral Votes and Romney 206. The magic number needed to win the White House is 270. Eight states with 95 Electoral College votes remain Toss-ups: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin."
I think it is possible Romney could pull out a win, but this will be a nail biter.
This is sad though: "Just over one-out-of-four Americans (27%) say the upcoming election has negatively affected their personal relationship with a friend or family member."
Ummm...falsify - you were looking at the non-toss up numbers. That, to me, is not an accurate description on the ECV right now. I think you need to start with the RCP electoral map (201-191 Obama not counting the toss ups) and then look at the polls in the battleground states. Right now, it is like reading tea leaves. Turnout will be key in FL and OH. If OH goes to Obama, that virtually seals the deal. If OH goes to Romney, then we could see him pull a "Dewey Beats Truman" again...
To be honest I think RCP is too conservative on their calls they require +5% to move out of that category for both candidates. They do a good job but are guilty of removing polls they think are biased. That is why I like Silver in that regard because he includes them all and then adds weighting to their value based on past data. Dr. Wang doesn't even make a bias assumption and includes every poll regardless of their past performance and adjusts for outliers by using the median instead of the average. That is the cleanest approach because it avoids potential subjective biases
Let's catch up tomorrow about the result... - I don't agree with your "Romney win"
Are you still going to come out to play on Wednesday?
Are you still going to come out to play on Wednesday?
Nate Silver made me at least $100 on In Trade.

Hello, are you there???.......
Oh well, I guess we'll see you pop up again for 2016, or maybe 2014...

Still waiting for the fun to start. Where are you?
Hello Brian Pelican and Stan roam,
Now that the election is over - People have elected President Obama, majority of Democratic Senators and majority of House Republicans; it's time to congratulate all participants - voters, volunteers, officials, candidates and elected officers and move on with the real business of Nation Building, starting with:
• Over the next ten years, putting the fiscal house in order. Raise more revenues, cut waste and foolish spending ( as example Defence of the whole world, putting too many people in prisons, Drug Enforcement to moderate social behaviors, Police cost to enforce paranoid security agenda), and gradually reduce the debt (this is what Canada did –otherwise we can go into a tailspin and recession).
• Build an Economy based on Knowledge & Innovation Technology. Banking, Insurance and Wall Street must not be allowed to rip off the American People again.
• Invest in HealthCare, Infrastructure and Education. This will build the foundation of the economy.
• Modernize the Elections. Please Florida – this is a joke and an embracement to US Democracy.
Please tell us how much fun you're having now.
I no longer see a clear difference in target message and voters. between Obama and Romney.
Game theory can help us decide who to vote for.
Obama can say whatever keeps him into office. Then, if he gets re-elected, he may not do what he is claiming he would do. There is no penalty for him, he is done anyway.
Romney, on the other hand, will want to be re-elected in 4 years. So he'd better stick to the plan and gain consensus from voters over the next for years, otherwise he won't be re-elected.
If you accept this reasoning, you should vote Romney.
"So he'd better stick to the plan and gain consensus from voters over the next for years"
Have you been living under a rock for the past 6 years? Romney has been a bigger flip-flopper than even Kerry and has shamelessly pandered to the far right before cynically changing his positions like an etch-a-sketch. His positions continue to change about every other week.
Romney is the one who is willing to say anything to get elected. Many naively wish that he would be a more pragmatic person in office, but with Norquist et. al and a rabid Republican base breathing on his neck, that probably isn't going to happen, or he'll face a primary challenger in 2016.
If you accept this reasoning, you should never vote for the incumbent.
If you accept this reasoning, you should never vote for the incumbent.
What do Romney and Carly Simon's "Jesse" have in common? Find out here:
After the elections, will TE give us an overview of who donated what, and why? 'Citizens United' has paved the way for vested interest to pay its way into power.
Yes, I know that in the past TE argued that because the funds land on both sides, and because it has not been proven to be the sole determinant of the outcome elections, it's not a problem. But the editors have had some more time to think about it, they are not stupid, and they may come to more sensible conclusions now.
Wall street, Big Oil and other vested interests don't support election campaigns out of pure generosity or care for the American people. It's an investment. Returns are expected. It's rent-seeking.
Don't forget that water flows downhill.
State and local elections are open to the same lure.
Frontline looks at Montana.
The fact that Obama didn't even mention climate change shows what big money is capable of.
You Obama supporters have your heads up your political butts!!! Obama has spent us into certain poverty!!! Even his own cabinet says his spending will increase to over 20 trillion over the next 4 years. That is from 10 to 20 trillion in 8 YEARS!!! Bush spent too much!!! Obama is Bush 4 times worse!!! Our national debt is 4 BILLION a day!!! and increasing every second!!! The only reason Obama may win is because there are too many people on the public umbilical cord. Just remember when the private sector dies (the head) so does the body (government). Socialism starts and eventually they build a wall around you because there is no incentive to work,slavery (Communism)results!!!
You don't really know what communism is, do you...?
And socialism, you have no idea at all, I can tell. I have lived most of my life in socialist democracies, and believe me, people on average are a lot better off than most Americans are now.
Just because someone waves the red(socialist/communist/whatever-you-want-to-call-it) flag in front of you doesn't mean that you should react like an impulsive farm animal and charge an attack on it. (I do realize that it's not actually the color red, but the movement that makes bulls attack, but bear with me for example's sake)
Hello Stan,
Please read the Preamble of the Constitution carefully. It reads "We the People of the United States,... establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare .... do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
It's the PEOPLE who make the United States of America. Business interests are often at odds with national interests: For example - environment, banking, healthcare, social security etc. just to name a few. Don't be scared, Europe (for the most part) and Canada are also socialistic and are doing very well, the business is thriving, and people are happy.
Recognize it or not USA was created to "promote the general Welfare" of the people.
Living in northern europe, I feel safe walking home at night from the centre of town, the sight of someone sleeping rough is unusual, our high street is made up of small businesses selling high quality goods that we like to keep, people flock to the centre of town and our market at the weekend, I am not frightened of the youth or of getting sick. Our municipality holds regular free festivals for culture that everyone in our community young and old attends for music, food, art....We are still in recession, but the blow of it is softened by what you call socialist policies...We don't live in fear of not being able to pay medical bills (half of bankrupcies in the US are caused by inability to pay medical bills, and we certainly don't pay anything near the 12K you pay as a family on average for health insurance, sure it's not perfect and we probably pay a bit more tax than you but get a lot of security and quality of life back...

It is great that you feel safe and all the wonderful things you experience, but it will eventually end because human nature always destroys the nature of personal motivation when all are paid equal or near equal for vastly different jobs. What seems to be good now will only get worse, such as Greece, Spain and other European nations. Communism did not start all by itself, it starts by rejecting Capitalism, socialism follows, and finally ends in state control, Communism.It is in all our future if we do not promote economic personal prosperity based on one wiliness and education to work hard and as a result prosper. I am not saying we have the perfect system, there are none, but I do believe it is the best. American prosperity is the leader of the world because in promotes individual responsibility. Communism is in the future if all are paid the same or very near the same. Why would one go to 12 years of medical school if he can drive a truck (respectable work) but does no have the same financial or social investment. You are right about the medical costs, and we need to have better cost control, but that is primarily do to the welfare state that we are becoming-not because of Capitalism. I work with the welfare Department-the vast majority of clients are lazy!!! Today, I was not looking for a job but was offered one just because a man noticed I worked hard. That is what all the world needs to be about instead of sitting on their butts! expecting others to take care of them. Self responsibility must be rewarded!!! It is human nature!!!
Oh,and as far as our medical insurance is concerned is because it it the best in the world. People come from all over the world because we are the best. Yes! we need to find middle ground, but the government has no business being involved in the medical field. It is the our responsibility to find and pay for the best care. GOVERNMENT ONLY CREATES A FALSE BELIEF THAT IT CAN CARE FOR EVERYONE-BUT IT REDUCES CARE AND DESTROYES!!! EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES!!! SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID-ALL ARE BROKE!!!!
And how are you going to get national debt down by raising defence spending from 3 to 4 per cent GDP, while cutting taxes, as Romney has stated he wishes to do? If your definition of servitude is debt, and you want to be in thrall to such servitude, then go ahead and vote Romney in.
I don't believe in communism, that is as much an oligarchy as pure capitalism, but in the current economic turmoil being experienced in the world, the safer currencies to invest in are the nordic ones and swiss, countries with much less inequality, and hence greater stability. Instability tips the balance towards extremism and blaming of external forces, a kind of helplessness too. I think you would find the standard of living in Denmark, Germany, Holland, Switzerland and other socially responsible countries far far off those a communist state, yet there is greater social control regarding looking after each other and the environment because human rights are seen as very important. Education at a higher level is still free in most of the nordic countries, and if you are bright enough and from a disadvantaged background and want to, you will go to medical school without living several decades under debt. Countries with high levels of inequality are much less safe, the US has a massive problem with violent crime and I think this has to do with inequality, exclusion and the fury it unleashes.
You can not define how to "promote the general welfare!" I suppose you believe it is taking (by force) money from one group of people to give to another! that is not the Constitution! I know the Constitution very well, and I do not need you to tell me what is supposedly says. Canada lowered their business tax rate (America has raised it) that is why they are doing well. Europe is not as you say, no matter what you write. Greece and Italy prove that.
When the private sector (people producing a good of service not tax based (by government)it creates revenue for the public sector (taxes) and thus pays down and reduces government debt. It really is simple.
If you have lived most of your life in socialist democracies and liked it so much, why are you not still living there now and have to put up with the USA who is inferior to them in your eyes, LOL. And if you are not living in the USA, how do you know that the Americans are not living better than your beloved socialist democracies? Liberals like to speak with both sides of their mouths.

I used to live in socialism most of my life and I prefer capitalism in the USA hands down. Some American are beguiled by glib liberals, and they do not know what a good thing they've got until they lose it. The fact that the 2nd largest economy nowadays, Red China, is moving towards capitalism and away from socialism speaks volume. And the current financial crisis occurring in mostly socialistic Europe further confirm that.

So you guys discriminate based on income intelligence-very sad. I am middle class and we (wife and I) pay our taxes and because we are neither rich or poor I have to send my child to a secondary college while I support someone who paid no taxes, was financial burden all their lives go to the best schools still on my and the tax payer dollars. Unions, government and welfare in America are killing us. You can work for 20 years and retire with about 90% of their highest wage. That and other reasons are why we are broke. Many People in the private sector in America work hard and get taken advantage of. We are really tired of it!!! Liberal government gives money to those who will not work! I deal with it every day. If you would get rid of government employees and unnecessary welfare, Romney would win every state! Thanks for sharing, though. Blessings!
Yes i do know about Communism and Socialism. Former USSR collapsed! North Korea-near collapse! Cuba-near collapse! Freedom has helped more countries in the world than any other political system man has ever made! Do not bother to reply, I do not listen to foolishness!!! from foolish people!!!
Social inequality in the US is growing and will continue to grow as long as demonizing the poor continues to be the common thought among the right in America. This thought that the poor are lazy sponges is what makes America different from those in other developed countries (yes there are some that think this way but predominantly not). The rich are continually getting richer in the US and the poor getting poorer. This without a doubt leads to more poverty, crime, desperation and in America's case incarceration. Yet in America its perfectly fine to use public funds to lock up criminals for petty crimes, yet to offer social assistance is seen as lazy people living off the government dole. Go to any city in America and then Walk around in any city in Europe or Canada. The poverty, desperation and safety are noticeably better taken care of.
Promoting general welfare for all remember?? 50 million people do not have insurance. Hundreds of thousands go bankrupt every year due to medical bills. 18% of your GDP is spent on health care (by far the most in the world). Explain to me how its the best again. I mean if you have a lot of money, America is has the best medical care. If your are lower middle, to poor, you are screwed. This does no seem like the best system in the world to me.
Again youre not noticing the immense amount of difference between socialism and communism. The former and current countries you just mentioned are all practitioners of communism which started out purely communist after a communist revolution, they were never socialist societies-turned-communist, and while North Korea undoubtedly is on the verge of shooting itself in the foot big-time (due to their self-imposed isolationism and general lack of common sense regarding foreign policy), there arent many indicators of any eventual downfall besides the amount of ridicule and tongue-lashings they get from the US and allied countries. I'm a dual American-German citizen who lives in America, and having lived in both Germany and America and seen the different systems of each country i can honestly say that if a better, more prosperous society is the goal of the Americans than they should look for inspiration in Northern Europe. You complain about everyone having similar wages in a social democracy but thats simply not true: while taxes are higher in Germany wages are dependant entirely on where, how long, and what job, just like in America. Welfare is much, much harder to take advantage of and in order to have access to welfare in Germany it almost always (there are exceptions: disabilities, etc.) requires that they are providing in society in some way shape or form whether it be community service or volunteer work. Taking advantage of the system is practically impossible in comparison to America's system. From my experience as a man who has lived between these two worlds, the key to prosperity is reform hopefully towards a more progressive social democracy inspired system.
stan roam:
You say Obama has just about destroyed the USA financially.
Romney has still given no specifics about how to pay for the extra $8 trillion he plans to spend/lose etc...
Plus, he says his plan "Will not increase the deficit". I have one question for him: "Will it decrease the deficit, then?" If not there is ABSOLUTELY NO POINT in going on with this plan
There is not incentive to work? come on , give me a break!!!
One simple question, have you ever been outside the US and I don't mean Canada? Or are you the typical US navel gazer that believes the world ends at your borders?
Romany is great flier and flip-flopper, he just keeps claiming and fooling people
that knows how to fix economy without any specific and his fake Tax plan that does NOT even
add up for sure not going to be passed,
I am not going to vote for this fake Guy that his own record shows that
un-employment, deficit and jobs outsourcing got increased and his state
got highest unemployment rate in nation when he was governor of Massachusetts.
Romney's presidency will be worse than Bush that has caused us recession.
last debate shows clearly that Romany is out of touch and not ready for prime time and especially for 3 AM call.
he and his VP have zero foreign policy credentials and want to restore Bush era again.

Human beings are by nature more motivated to start something new, other than to support something existing. That's why it's important to mobilize Obama supporters to go to vote!
"The fourth and final Howey/DePauw Poll also shows Republican Mitt Romney leading Democratic President Barack Obama 51%-to-41% in Indiana" according to http://www.depauw.edu/news-media/latest-news/details/29135/ dated November 2, 2012. Note that is consistent with other recent polls of Indiana and with The Economist's own comment "it is unlikely that he [Obama] will win the state this year". So, colour Indiana (with 11 EC votes) red not blue.
Are you confusing Illinois with Indiana on the map? Indiana is light red on this map!
Indiana was blue when I made the comment -- I swear it was, really!
Apparently the folks at The Economist since changed it to red (as it should be) and didn't tell anyone about the change. Does that seem a bit improper to you, or is it just me? Folks at The Economist: please tell fdennstedt what you did... my credibility is on the line.
Note that gossypol Nov 2nd, 17:02 (below) saw the same thing.
Also, poll aggregators have Indiana as a "strongly Romney" so it should be dark red, not light red, IMHO.
I guess editors are fallible (but that is now excuse)! Lets hope the same type of mistake doesn't occur Tuesday night.
Am I the only person who's suddenly missing the EV distribution bar that used to be above the graph, which would now show a majority of EV for Obama, if these newest changes were applied?
I mean, why would you take that piece of statistic away? I found it useful in seeing how many EV's each candidate was missing to gain a majority, and hope to see it back sooner rather than later...
I love that EV bar. It is the reason I visit this page every couple of days or so. Bring it back Economist!
Nothing much has changed today? Indiana went from solid red to blue. Michigan went from light blue to solid. New Hampshire and Virginia went to light blue as well (I know Virginia shifted, but I may have mixed up New Hampshire as I follow several different polls).
Does Gallup make that much of a difference?
Does Gallup make that much of a difference?
I'm having trouble believing the Indiana poll. Maybe they accidentally got a hold of a Senate poll - but I think even those disaffected with Mordoch's comments are going to split their ticket at best.
Romney has Indiana. otherwise, the TEA baggers undermined the Republicans in gaining a Senate seat out of myopia and general bizarre-ness (why get into a conversaton of rape, even if the departure point is abortion. Just say you would consider exceptions. End of story.)
Waydaminit, what's Indiana doing in blue? Looks nice, but too good to be true.
It's not. They must have grabbed a hold of a Senate poll.

I have a another theory on why the Agility managed to beat the Vertex.
Firstly, the Agility series ships with the 1.30 firmware version, which is availible as an update to the Vertex, while your Vertex only was updated to 1.10.
Secondly, from the article into it sounds like you are using a brand new Agility, but a used (though reformated) Vertex, and it's well known that SSD disks starts to perform slightly worse when they "age".
These two factors taken tokether is probably the reason that the Agility performed better than the Vertex.

CheriHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairKenta FlatironBought this flatiron over 12-13 years ago and quite honestly it might even be a bit longer than that, through my stylist at the time - well it finally gave out! Very very very sad.....so of course because of the longevity of the product I purchased another one with absolutely NO hesitation. Its a great product I have recommended it and will continue to recommend it - great product!!!!posted Dec 1, 2010Link to this post
Jen M.ChicagoKenta Beats Chi, Handsdown!I first saw a Kenta straightener used by my hair stylist in 2000. In 10 years, I have owned 2. The one I have now, I have had for 7 years and it still works great! I did buy a CHI a few years back, but gave it to a friend because I wasn't that impressed. By the way, I use it every other day..after 7 years, I'm thinking about getting another one and will stick with Kenta for sure.posted Nov 6, 2010Link to this post
JillianHairLight BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBest Flat Iron For Extra Curly & Coarse HairMy stylist turned me on to this flatiron 10 years ago and I'll never change. I have long, very curly, coarse hair which is totally converted to smooth, shiny straight hair with my Kenta flat iron. Get's closer to the 450 degree range, which is critical for my type of hair. Doesn't snag hair, and has a great beveled edge in case you want rounded ends or a slight curl. My first Kenta lasted 5 years before I accidentally killed it using the wrong power converter while in Europe. My second has lasted another 5 years. I bought my daughter one and she won't ever convert either! I'm ordering another "just in case" for backup...love it and you will too.posted Sep 30, 2010Link to this post

Massive Snowboarding is one of the few V Cast games whose technology does not hamper its gameplay but rather bolsters it.
A compelling game with infinite replayability, Wordking should supplant traditional poker on the national circuit.
Though somewhat dated, it's certainly the best game available for ExEn and is a killer mobile title overall.
With Might and Magic, Gameloft has created one of the best cell phone action adventure games ever.
Dragon Fire 2 is a cut above every other mobile shooter. It's polished enough to feel like an entirely novel experience
It's a good single-player game due to the competitive aspect of setting and breaking your own records. But the multiplayer mode is fantastic.
While the fighting is fun, the game requires more brains than brawn.
Network access to puzzles makes this whole crosswording-on-your-phone thing worthwhile.
It's amazing that Macrospace was able to cram the dozens of racetracks and options onto the cell.
While Bejeweled Multiplayer's graphics are a little on the murky side, it hardly touches the game's overall virtuosity.
Monkey Ball's bizarrely compelling gameplay and jocular premise make for a winning combination.

I've been a Warriors fan since they traded Chris Webber. Can you imagine how that's like....
This'll be interesting.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
There won't be a better time to get some media attention, than by beating these annoying pricks, while they are on the winning streak.
Great test this week, I'll happily to take a split with them. Amazing that the Clippers have won 16 in a row and we're still only 3.5 games behind them.
A win in this one, even a split would be HUGE. On a side note I have to admit that I like the Kia/Blake Griffin commercials. The "All you do is dunk in that game" comment is priceless.

Is that your spaceship ? no its much better than that. lol.
Anyways, I was having the discussion with one of my friends I said Chris Paul is under-rated, they all said "NO". But I meant under-rated in the sense, while he is the best point guard, compared to scores like Lebron, Rose (when healthy), Durant, Kobe, they don't give him serious consideration for MVP. I know basketball is a league more focus on scoring but Chris Paul with his average size, is creating shots, playing winning ball, take him of the Clippers then obviously they wouldn't close to as good as they are. |
CP3 is regarded as the best point guard by almost everyone. In terms of MVP talks, he's always involved.

OK I will pose the question this way then, with the likes of Lebron, Durant, do you guys see him winning an MVP award ? I mean I know Steve Nash won the award back in the day, so I guess passing PGs do get recognition.
I guess its just me under-rating Chris Paul, when I see him, I see an average athlete, average height, nothing to flashy, I mean yes he throw ally opps to Blake Griffin, but damn he just gets it done. He runs a team so well, its crazy. |

December was so easy, can't wait till January. The toughest month for our warriors. There will be blood.
"i wish i was a little bit taller" skee lo
I want this back to back against the clips. They're too 'prima donna' to my liking. It's something about Blake Griffin and CP3 and the flopping. I loved Matt Barnes when he was with us, and I still like him now, but I just hate when we play against him. There's something about Crawford that I don't like as well. I hate that he's so dangerous on offense, but I hate it even more that no one ever takes advantage of his defensive incapabilities when he's on the floor. Their jerseys too. That thing annoys the ish outa me. At the very least I hope we split the next two.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
The showdown of the season so far for the team. It's at home so a win is huge. The team can really be seen as a serious one by winning this one.
migya make the ring fall on ya |
I don't believe in the whole due thing, but damn I hope the Clippers beat the Nuggets. That would make me feel better.
Lol why all the hate on Clippers. At least none of them are ball hoggers like Kobe or annoying fault makers like Martin. Clippers are so fun to watch.
The only player I find fun to watch is Paul. That's it. There's a friend of mine that likes them, and he is now so full of himself, after the stretch they had, but when they were beaten by Warriors, he was nowhere to be found. Then there is the ultimate flop king - Blake Griffin. And it's not like Vlade used to do it, position himself and get ready to fall so his opponent would get called for an offensive foul, it's that garbage he does, with flailing his hands, looking at the refs after almost every play...etc. There's more I'm sure, but I don't want to think of it. Blake is quite enough for me.
Blake Griffin has been pretty elite defensively this year contrary to popular belief and is a big part of the reason the clippers are now actual contenders instead of pseudo contenders.
Should be a good match up between Lee and Griffin along with Chris Paul and Stephen Curry. |

This sweet potato cottage pie is omnivore comfort food. |
Karina's Sweet Potato Cottage Pie Recipe
Not exactly a typical cottage pie. And shepherd implies a lamb. My recipe uses Black Angus beef. Perhaps I should have called this a rancher's pie. Obviously. What was I thinking? Wait. Do rancher's grow zucchini and artichokes?Ingredients:
For the topping:
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
A dash of nutmeg
A drizzle of fruity olive oil, to taste
Plain hemp milk (or moo cow milk, if you like), as needed
For the filling:
1.5 pounds ground Black Angus beef
1 onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 small to medium zucchini, trimmed, cut into pieces
1 cup artichoke hearts, cut up
1 14-oz can Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1-2 teaspoons raw organic agave nectar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley or cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Place the sweet potatoes in a pot of fresh salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until under fork tender and mashable.
Meanwhile...back at the ranch:
Saute the ground Angus beef in a large hot skillet till lightly browned; pour off the fat; return the skillet to the stove. Add in the onions and garlic; stir and cook for five minutes or until the onions are soft.
Add in the zucchini; stir and cook for a couple of minutes. Add in the artichokes and tomatoes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, agave, dried herbs and cinnamon. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced a bit. Remove from heat.
Back to the sweet potatoes:
Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and mash them lightly. Season with sea salt, ground pepper and nutmeg. Drizzle with a little fruity olive oil. Add a couple of tablespoons of hemp milk and stir until smooth and fluffy.
Layer the beef and veggie mixture in a casserole or baking dish (or four individual gratin dishes, like I did).
Top with the mashed sweet potatoes.
Bake in the center of a preheated oven until bubbling and hot- about 25 minutes.
Serves 4.

Karina's Tip:
Obviously, if you don't care for zucchini or artichokes, change them out for veggies you like. Though this combo is delicious with the spicy diced tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.

Jamis bicycles has a long history of innovating revolutionary bikes that dates all the way back to 1979 with the introduction of the Earth Cruiser. The Earth Cruiser helped to spark the beach cruiser revolution. This innovation hasn't stopped at Jamis, but merely shifted focus. Today Jamis develops and produces top of the line road and mountain bikes. Leveraging over 30 years of experience, Jamis is able to craft race driven performance machines with trickle down for the average rider as well. Jamis has a goal to build the perfect bike, what seems like an impossible goal. To Jamis, it's the only one worth pursuing.
The Jamis Dakar XCT Race is no exception to Jamis' quest to build the perfect bike. Jamis takes advantage of proven technologies when crafting their frames. The Kinesium Alloy frame is no exception. Boasting 130mm travel with the mp4 linkage system, the XCT race is super stable and performance driven. The tapered headtube allows for a stiffer front end and thus a more responsive and stable ride. Asymmetrical chainstay, cartridge bearing pivots, and a Fox Shox RP2 XV shock with boost valve & 10mm hardware round out the features that make this frame great.
A great suspension platform is what counts in a truly fantastic full suspension bike. The Jamis Dakar XCT Race is outfitted with Fox Racing Shox fork and rear shock. Fox has been an industry leader in suspension technology for many years. Fox has repeatedly set new standards for quality and how suspension works. The fork is a Fox 32 FRL with a FIT damper and features external rebound damping, lever actuated lock out, 32mm stanchions for increased stiffness, 15mm through axle, a tapered alloy steerer, and 140mm of travel. The rear shock is a Fox Shox RP2 XV with boost valve. This rear shock boasts 130mm of travel and can take nearly anything you can throw at it.
A good component build can make or break a bike. Jamis didn't cut any corners with the Dakar XCT Race. A rock-solid SRAM 2x10 drivetrain keeps you cranking along smoothly and efficiently. A set of X7 shifters control the X7 front derailleur and X9 rear derailleur, ensuring shifting is fast and smooth. A SRAM S1000 2x10 crankset delivers all the power you need and Avid Elixir 3 brakes make it possible to stop at a moment's notice. A well-appointed Ritchey cockpit puts the finishing touches on the Jamis Dakar XCT Race.

Jamis made a great frame but the components could have been paired up with the bike a lot better. Where I ride is very rocky and scraped a bit on the chunky rocky sections. I guess I'm to "enduro"lol!!but the rear derailler could have been mid. The 90s called said they wanted there stem back. Again lol !!! Too long. But good bike for the beginner or biker on a budget( if on sAle)!!

I've put about 100 miles on this bike since I bought it. I saw a review on here for the same bike that was not fair at all. This bike is fantastic, and I can't get enough. It looks good too! It might be a bit on the heavy side, but nothing too bad. It's taken some hits but has handled them all well. This bike is not intended for big air, but I've found that it is pretty fun to jump.

The geometry feels good. Responds nicely. Not too heavy and fast. A lockout feature on the rear suspension would have been perfect, but other than that its nice.

I bought this bike a last summer, since then the rear triangle has broke TWICE! jamis did replace it with the lifetime warrenty however the frame shouldnt have broken at all. The rear derailer on it after a weekend of riding was already worn and had to be replaced, the brakes are aweful as Avid knows they have had many problems with the 3s and are still having those problems. the front thru axel snapped in half on me during a race (Fox 15mm). I wouldnt recommend Jamis to anyone looking for a serious bike its an amatures company and i will NEVER be purchasing another one. NOTE: I also have a yeti which i love and highly recommend and specialized epic again very well built bike!

Because Michigan is a border state and the borders are active like whoa, Michigan is going to be releasing an enhanced driver's license that will double as a passport. Cool, no? I already have a passport but if I didn't I'd be all over it.

This is such a cool concept! But the way all the "root" leaves are just spread out in a line under a flat ground is just not quite enough. I'd wear this design if there was a little less symmetry, if the roots were spread out a bit more. But really, this is a sweet idea!

nope, not a diff. Either i set it dynamically, or if i just boost the core to the highest clock. Still, at some scene, the load can read 30-50%.
Maybe think about it, when your cpu is clocked 1 ghz or below then 10% is different than when it runs at 3 ghz.
nope, not a diff. Either i set it dynamically, or if i just boost the core to the highest clock. Still, at some scene, the load can read 30-50%.
I have just heard about the Powermizer, luckily perhaps. I am amazed by the possibilities. It enables GPU to run with lowest clocks without using the graphic cords, a fully functional desktop with 3 D effects can be activated with compiz. The battery will also last longer by using it. It can be installed by editing the Xorg configuration file. If you want GPU intense game, it will not work well. Btw, Powermizer 7.0 Mobile technology has a number of mobile power management as well. Should try it.
Recent mobile Nvidia gpu (Nvidia laptops) doesn't work anymore as the Optimus features aren't supported. So, who cares about the powermizers or whatever they are since the laptop won't work properly anyway.
So, previous post is a fail (is that how you say it? ;-) I am not up on the net lingo.
Im not using nvidia because of zero opensource, but I do look around. And the optimus issue from what I read is really heavy. Not that nvidia care at all outside of the corporate policy - especially from my (this) post.
I think part of the problem lays within either X not supporting active switch between two cards; or (or additinally) very possibly this optimus thing is very proprietary/patented - similar to CSS/HDCP useless crap. I don't like it, it does not prevent piracy, it rises issues from legal owners, it lowers buyers rights, leads to "intellectual property" failure heavily manipulating science and technology in the future.
Both intel, amd and nvidia support it, do it regardless - I ignore it (don't buy) as whole. The world rotates further.
In modern world words "exclusive", "limited", "patented" or "only for", not only related to software, hardware or IT technology; but as whole - sound(or made to sound) like an advantage. To me, they sound like heavy limitation, negative quality, negative factor.
As if I would be talking loud on the streets "Hey, I have my myopia" and everyone around would cry happily "Wow! Thats very exclusive!! Im jealous! I want to have it too! I will pay big money for it!"
Linux may be very very limited and sometimes bad in several parts, many (hardware, software etc) companies publish binary blobs, or provide only minimal opensource effort, or completely ignore it - and contribute. And I can easily buy windows and install it and have it instantly here and things etc - no problem. But it would taste as peace of sh** in big nice cup of "shut the f*ck up". I just cannot drink THAT.
Ah whatever, Im too much offtopic. Sorry for too much nothing in this thread.
Okay.... what do you do if they all move that way? If the trend is hybrid switcable graphics in which I think Intel jumps on board since they are the 'other' chip in this equation, what do you do then? Is X and the rest of the related Linux community able to deal with that? Is ATI/AMD going to particpate and help?
I would seriously consider this possible trend. If the Nvidia hybrid tech. takes off, ATI would mostly follow suit with their own if they haven't already. I know of one current/recent laptop which has an ATI/Intel HD hybrid chip but I don't know anything about it such as how it compares to Optimus and whether there is an inherent problem when it comes to Linux.
I am sympathetic to your open source demand but I tend to be practical of wanting it to 'just work.' FOSS is ideal but because of IP, patents, restrictions what have you, you know you won't have all features that the hardware can do. Unfortunately, with the market share of Windows being what it is, these manaufacturers test/design with Windows in mind. Not sure how to combat that or attract more attention to Linux but even the open source option has its limits. If market share is 1%, 5%. 10%, etc., you still have a small market and preaching FOSS is preaching to the quoir. Even if you convert a bunch of people, these companies are still going where the money is. For the big break through, I think you need some commercial push and then you have this ironic cunundrum that you probably don't even want.
Not sure what to do but I think when the company has no support solution whatsoever or it's barely usable or the main point of it is not usable in Linux, I cannot find any reason to support or recommend it (e.g. Nvidia Optimus). It's when the potential is there but not realized, and the reasoning is suspect, I have to object (ATI, ;-) ). Nvidia has the Nouveau option and although it apparently leaves a lot to be desired, it exists but Optimus seems to require a totally different function whereas in Windows, you can switch on the fly.
How does one deal with that? Market share it being what it is in Linux, you can choose to boycott or you can avoid it because the open source alternative is so poor. But, if AMD/ATI can't pick up the ball and run with it and has its own issues, coverting a few people to one side or the other does little. Another approach is needed and I, for one, have no idea what that is or needs to be.
But, I think Nvidia Optimus doesn't have a 'this method works' option so there is no reason to excuse or compromise with it. Not unless, you fold and go with Windows.
You don't need that much fear about Optimus when you convince your local pc store that you could test the system you might buy with a Linux live system - i would use my own one case i optimized my nvidia script just for this purpose. You should test if it is possible to install nvidia drivers in live mode, if thats possible all is fine. Also check if wlan works out of the box, maybe don't get realtek n chips as they only like some driver versions. Broadcom usually works with later installed firmware or wl binary driver, but will not work on most live systems by default - at least i don't know one which ships the needed firmware.
I dunno... I believe, in most stores I'd go to, the vendors/sales people don't want me sticking Linux Live CDs/DVDs into their display machines. Their excuse is that they're wary of people with virus-installers or something.
I know, for a fact, that big box stores have that policy at least at the store I asked at. Unforunately, these stores have the most laptops for choice and inspecting features/hardware etc. etc. I typically use the Windows 7 settings, Device Manager, System Properties to confirm what hardware is in the laptops.
Ah, I thought I might add (since, I can't edit)... many of these laptops have the Intel HD graphics and Intel wireless so should work out of the box but not particularly impressive but at least it probably works. I'm not certain whether it's 'out of the box' but maybe some distros such as Debian and Fedora require non-free firmware repos enabled and the firmware installed?
I suspect the Intel GPU/wireless combo would work out of the box on something like Ubuntu.
When it comes to ATI gpu or Ati/Intel hybrids, I have no idea. Also, I have the impression that Atheros is another wifi card that works well although I haven't come across too many laptops with this card. I think the corresponding gpu might be Nvidia so I tended to go to the next machine to check.
When you tell em you don't buy until you checked then you may have got more success
