About Me Bride
Comments about InvitationsByDawn for Our Lucky Day - Invitation:
Product Comments: I ordered my invitations for my wedding from invitations by dawn, I was very nervous at first, because I of course didn't want my pictures on my invites to be blurry, or off centered. A lady from their customer services personally messaged me(not a computer) and helped me through what to do( because my picture quality was too low, and would look blurry, I sent it on my cell phone) Than we got that figured out quickly, and then the photographers logo on the picture was cut off, they let me know and had my resend the image without the logo, I was VERY pleased with the customer services! I got my invitations in the mail right on time, and they were absolutely perfect! More than I could ever hope for!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

this product is not made for motorcycles. The 10 foot long temperature lead with a suction cup is designed to be mounted out side a car and useless on a bike. the volt gauge is off by 0.5 volt and the temp gauge reads high in direct sunlight. the gauge is not water resistant and will be destroyed the first time you wash the bike or get cought in the rain. This product lasted an amazing 9 months before failing completely, despite my efforts to keep it dry. I only regret I can not give this product zero stars.

- Guest starter Ryan Sharp completely dominates the first race before it is halted
- Ex-rally National Champion Raphael Sperrer aka "Major Adolf Kottan" wins second race
- Many entries in the team competition; everyone wants to win the two KTM 125 Dukes
- Successful premiere for the parallel competition, the KTM X-BOW CHALLENGE
The free practice on Thursday delivered some hot moments to some of the drivers and with bright sunshine and a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, there was plenty sweat about. But the weather changed for the worst just before the start of the fourth season of the KTM X-BOW BATTLE on Friday. Rain fell during free practice and qualifying but then there was a real cloudburst right as the race was about to begin. Naturally this meant that the new Michelin slicks stayed in that garage. The race was declared 'wet' and demanded the use of Michelin wet tires. This all transformed it into just the kind of challenging experience that the 31 drivers were expecting it to be.
Race One:
The race officials decided that there would be two warm-up laps behind the safety car to give the drivers more chance to warm up their tires. Then the race started and the field headed for the first corner.
KTM guest driver Ryan Sharp, whose Austrian fans best remember for his time in the "jetalliance Racing" Team with Karl Wendlinger, had put down the best qualifying time but he was not in the lead at the end of the first lap. Battle regular Jim Gebhardt had overtaken him at the start and immediately tried to put some distance between himself and the rest of the field. "Major Adolf Kottan" aka ex-rally ace Raphael Sperrer also wanted to overtake Sharp but after the first shock moments the Scotsman shot past both Sperrer and Gebhardt. The German who has a lot of race experience finished third and was stunned by the out-braking action. "Unbelievable how he shot past me on the start and finish straight. I would never have been able to do that, but we have to make a little difference between a professional amateur and a complete professional!"
Something similar came from "Major Kottan". "I take my hat off to Ryan. He really showed us how to do it. I'm satisfied with my race but that was the maximum I could manage and also a good start to the season." Ryan Sharp was obviously delighted with his successful return to motorsport. "A big thank you to KTM and to Georg Silbermayr who invited me here as guest driver. I am extremely positively surprised about this racing series and about the car. The X-BOW drives impressively precisely, when you compare it to a GT racing car there's hardly any difference. And it is very, very fast driving for an amateur race series. The "BATTLE" should also be in England, it would certainly be a hit there." The racing professional was less satisfied with the weather conditions. "It was really difficult. It was on the border of what was possible. There was standing water on the track and you could barely see anything because of the spray."
It was these same conditions that created difficulties for another professional. Carsten Seifert ran into spray coming out of the Remus corner, came up against a back marker and went into a skid while swerving to try to avoid him. There was a collision and Seifert's X-BOW was a complete wreck with pieces of it scattered all over the track. This meant that the race direction had no alternative but to stop the race.
Fortunately Seifert was not injured but was definitely the unluckiest driver of the weekend after another driver had shot him down during qualifying. "I did think the first race weekend would be somewhat different," he said. "After that incident in qualifying I wanted to pick up a few points and now what I have is practically a write-off." Seifert and the team around team boss Jürgen Pipp have a month's time to rebuild the X-BOW before the next race.
Peter Resch had more luck. The man from Upper Austria went into a spin in the same place as Siefert's crash - and in two consecutive laps. "I didn't really think about it when I was going into a spin at 200 km/h, but I did think about it afterwards. So under the motto "What am I even doing here?" when I went into a spin in the following lap I didn't really believe it anyway." In both cases Resch continued to drive on unmoved, thus winning the title of "man of the race" and in overall fifteenth place. Behind Sharp, Kottan and Gebhardt landed Jiri Pisarik, Carsten Seifert (because the race was red flagged the results were based on those as of lap six), Pavel Heinik, Lukas Martin, Sehdi Sarmini, Gerhard Trenker and Battle organizer "Bernie Silverstone".
Race Two:
Conditions were better for race two on Saturday. The track was still wet for morning qualifying but it had dried out for the race and the sun even came out from time to time. For a long time it looked like Ryan Sharp would again be the pole sitter but in the last seconds "Major Kottan" and Klaus Angerhofer went quicker.
The start came off without any problems and was unspectacular, and the only changes were with second and third places, which Angerhofer and Sharp had to give up to Jim Gebert. And while those at the front drove their own races, there were some spectacular battles in various groups, during which there was a bitter fight for every second and every millimeter.
In one of these groups, Jiri Pisarik and Pierrer Ludikeit came together so close that there was not only a crash but resulted in the subsequent exclusion of them both by the race direction. Jürgen Pipp spun out in turn one entirely without harming anyone and this was followed by a remarkable recovery up to sixth place, which definitely made him the "Man of the race" in Race Two.
Ryan Sharp and the young Vorarlberger Lukas Martin delivered the final and at the same time, the most exciting fight of the race. Sharp had to manage without any fourth gear and Martin raced one fast lap after the other and this developed into a two-way battle over a number of laps, which Sharp won in the very last corner. "He overtook me on the outside," Martin commented about the Scot, but his pleasure in finishing fifth outweighed having been overtaken.
Behind Pipp Artur Chwist, Sehdi Sarmini, "Bernie Silverstone" and Gerhard Trenker fought it out for the rest of the top ten places. Georg Silbermayr: "A sensational start to the season, even if the weather was borderline at times, which we are not used to in the "BATTLE". I was especially pleased that on the one hand our new team competition was so popular and on the other that we were also able to greet the first challengers in the KTM X-BOW CHALLENGE!"

The KTM X-BOW CHALLENGE at the Red Bull Ring: Small but fine!
The first try is successful: Event organizer Georg Silbermayr was immediately able to greet three participants after announcing the "KTM X-BOW CHALLENGE". As well as "Julie Wood", two completely new entries came to light for the first competition for the KTM X-BOW RR with 370 hp. Andreas Heider, the Data analyst from Team "Roomvibes" was on the start with Gerhard Trenker's car and Helmut Neumaerker in a rental car from Georg Silbermayr. Conclusion: a complete success. Neumaerker, for example, improved his lap times between the first and second races by 10 seconds and clearly enjoyed driving on the circuit. Andreas Heider was on the top of the podium in his very first start and in the second race "Julie Wood" went really well.
The Results:
Race One April 20, 2013
1. Andreas Heider (AT), reference time 1:54.919, 1.827 Points
2. "Julie Wood" (AT), reference time 1:49.173, 2.141 Points
3. Helmut Neumaerker (AT), reference time 2:12.919, 3.130 Points

EBT crusader to bring fight to State House
That's when a House committee will take up a measure to bar people who get cash assistance from the state from using that money to buy cigarettes or alcohol.
The incident made the 67-year-old Antrim grandmother an overnight media sensation and a reluctant spokeswoman for reform.
"What I brought out, a lot of people weren't aware of, and once they were made aware of it, they got upset."
She's a smoker herself, but she said, "I pay for my own. I don't feel the taxpayers' money should be spent like this."
Rep. Frank Sapareto, R-Derry, said he's gotten about 50 calls from constituents thanking him for sponsoring the measure. He praised Whiton for shining a light on the issue.
There's also a Senate bill, SB 203, that would go even further, prohibiting use of EBT cards or cash obtained with the cards for purchasing tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, lottery tickets, firearms or adult entertainment. It also would add businesses engaged in body piercing, branding or tattooing to the state's newly adopted list of places where the cards cannot be used.
Terry Smith is director of the state Division of Family Assistance, which administers programs that give out cash assistance through EBT cards to needy families with children, seniors, refugees and the disabled. Those programs are distinct from food stamps, which are also provided through EBT cards.
Smith said his staff will implement any new restrictions lawmakers pass. But he said there are enforcement issues with both measures that could affect every retailer in the state.
"We can have a statewide automatic block of a specific retailer location, but we can't do that with a specific type of purchase," he said. "There's no such thing yet as a universal bar code."
As for SB 203, Smith said the $25 withdrawal could be problematic for welfare recipients who depend on cash assistance to pay rent. He estimated that to withdraw sufficient funds to pay $700 in rent, it could cost nearly $100 in ATM fees.
She also pointed out many people who receive cash assistance benefits also have other sources of income - seniors on Old Age Assistance who also get Social Security, for instance, or TANF families who work - so there's no way for a store clerk to know whether someone paying cash is using their EBT benefits for a purchase, she said.
Sen. Jeanie Forrester, R-Meredith, said her bill, sb 203, is based on recommendations issued last September after a performance audit of the EBT card program by the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant. She also reviewed what other states do to restrict EBT purchases and talked with local welfare administrators here.
"I think what we're trying to do is make sure that, because we're in a time when funds are scarce, that funds are used in an appropriate way."
But state law did not clearly address where those cash benefits could or could not be used - until now.
He said it shouldn't be a partisan issue. "People in need should get help, but they shouldn't be buying cigarettes or booze with state or federal funds."
The Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee hearing on HB 1213 is at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Room 205 of the Legislative Office Building.

Yes, I went to make sure my cc info was up to date before the subs processed, and it was wiped out. Today, I went back to check, and it was all there from 2009 up until Dec of last year. Seems like a website glitch, which, given the history of the website, is par for the course.

I still have all of my orders, but one of my January orders isn't showing up.
I was one of those people who ordered a MOTUC/Ghostbusters subscription bundle and an second MOTUC subscription at the same time. Digital River emailed me that I needed to call them and I was told that a bundle & a subscription had to be ordered separately. They cancelled my original order and made it 2 separate orders but only the bundle is showing up on my order history page as "Order Complete". The only thing that doesn't have me freaking out is that I received an email for both orders saying that I should receive them tomorrow.
I hope you guys are right... my History has been gone for days and when it was up the other day, I would clicked the number of the transaction I wanted to see and it would only bring up a error page on every transaction number in my history page...

I can't see mine either, but this has happened to me before on sales days. I don't think it's a big problem. It'll be there.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
My order history is gone as well. I logged in at 7:45 and noticed it was missing (and as soon as I got out of the WSOD Vikor was sold out)?
Yep. At first it showed my (second) order for the stands, then it all disappeared.
I ordered 2 Palace guards and made it as far as the "submit order" screen. Everytime I click on "Submit order", it tells me "they cannot complete this selection at this time. They are aware of the problem and are working to get it fixed. Please hit the back button and try it again at a later time."
My order history info for my sub figure Vikor is not showing in my order history page. This is the first time i see this happen on that page by the way. Will it eventually show up on my order history page?? I heard it could be a glitch? Or am i wrong?
Figures = Awesome, everthing else = sucks
Everything else meaning service, availability, communication, etc, ect.

I've not had Battle Cat delivered since the initial order last year - I', in the uk and CM: 0031103 was the order number I had. A malfunction at Digital Rivers end or something more ominous?
"This is a rather shameless promotion"
"Worked on me!"
"Me too!"
Okay, I couldn't really figure out where to put this, if it needs to be moved then I'm sorry I put it in the wrong place.
So yesterday my email got shut down because of some technical issue and they said I might not be able to get the address back, so while I was waiting for that to sort itself out I decided to just assume my old email was lost forever and started to change all my stuff to my other email address.
Now, I go to Matty and I change my email to the new one, and I log in with the changed email address and I look at all of my information - it's all there, except for my order history everything is missing except for the replacement figure they had to ship me out in Feb.
Has this happened to anyone else who has changed their addresses? Is this 'normal?' Should I be worried?
Check out me and my friend's blog: Geek Culture
I changed my email 2 months ago and all my order history went gone.
I asked matty about this issue and all they do is sending me a link to my last order and telling me my order history is still there.
I still get confirmation for my sub to my old email address even thou my profile shows me my new email. DR Su****

Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
So this morning, I went on MattyCollector.com and had to change the e-mail associated with my account (I use my work account, and the IT Wizards are mucking about with our e-mail addresses... again). After the change (and I logged out then back in a few times, just to make sure), my account was generally working as expected - all my personal, shipping, and payment info was there as it should be.
The only hitch was that my Order History was now missing! Strangely, I can search by Order#, and all my orders still show up individually, with all the correct info. My subscription for 2011 shows that the next scheduled renewal is for 12/10, and my 2012 anniversary and regular subscriptions still show "Order Submitted" status. It's just that the whole, all-in-one-place list in Order History is now blank.
I know that this has happened to other folks before, so I'm wondering - is this a minor inconvenience (since I can still search by Order#), or is it something I should be concerned about? And does it eventually resolve itself, or will I be Order History-less from now on?
Any help or insight would be appreciated!
It's nothing to worry about. This happens every now and then, and is only a temporary inconvenience. Your history will come back after awhile.

20 inches from end to end.
Top and bottom cuffs stretch to about 16 inches.
Additional Info:
* The Orange is a neon that we had trouble capturing correctly in a picture. Think of "safety orange". It even glows under blacklight!

I want a size large for my leg warmers..
Hi there. I love your product Harajuku Leg Warmers and I would love to buy a pair- but there is a problem. I need one turquoise and one yellow, rather than them both be yellow/both be turquoise. Is there anyway you could do that? Reply soon, Thanks!
I'm STARTING TO GEAR UP FALL AND WANDERED IF YOU HAVE A WISH LIST, OR HOW LONG WILL YOU KEEP IN CART. THANK YOU CHERIE MASON
do you have any short leg warmers extra large or plus size for women?
Anything with "Extraordinary" in the name was sent from god in heaven to fit everyone really, really well.

nvidia points out that reduce visual quality for speed is cheating and nvidia is so right cheating is bad yes nvidia is a true company nvidia means cheating by nvidia is bad sure.. sure!
bad nvidia
The bad and the ugly*
.. and there is no good.
* support in linux. Really looking forward for opensource driver kick nvidia blob backplate, btw.
Shame on nvidia for fixing an application bug in their drivers. Shame on them. Troll fail = Qaridarium.
Hi Everybody,
What is being experienced is not an "Antialiasing cheat" but rather a HawX bug that is fixed by our driver using an application specific profile.
In a nutshell, the HawX application requests the highest possible AA "sample quality" at a particular AA level from our driver. Without our driver fix, the game would be running 16xCSAA instead of standard 4xAA when you select 4xAA in-game. It runs the proper 4xAA with the driver fix. You defeat the fix by changing the .exe name, causing it to run at 16xCSAA.
You may remember that Geforce 8800 introduced Coverage Sampling AA (CSAA) technology, which added higher quality AA using little extra storage. Prior to 8800 GTX and CSAA, there was only one "sample quality level" for each AA level, so if an application requested four AA samples, the hardware performed standard 4xAA. However, with 8800 GTX GPUs onwards, our drivers expose additional sample quality levels for various standard AA levels which correspond to our CSAA modes at a given standard AA level.
The "sample quality level" feature was the outcome of discussions with Microsoft and game developers. It allowed CSAA to be exposed in the current DirectX framework without major changes. Game developers would be able to take advantage of CSAA with minor tweaks in their code.
Unfortunately, HawX requests the highest quality level for 4xAA, but does not give the user the explicit ability to set CSAA levels in their control panel. Without the driver profile fix, 16xCSAA is applied instead of standard 4xAA. Recall that 16xCSAA uses 4 color/Z samples like 4xAA, but also adds 12 coverage samples. (You can read more about CSAA in our GeForce 8800 Tech Briefs on our Website).
When you rename the HawX.exe to something else, the driver profile bits are ignored, and 16xCSAA is used. Thus the modest performance slowdown and higher quality AA as shown in the images.
To use "standard" 4xAA in a renamed HawX executable, you should select any level of anti-aliasing in the game, then go into the NVIDIA Control Panel and set 4xAA for "Antialiasing Setting" and turn on "Enhance the application setting" for the "Antialiasing mode".
Nick Stam, NVIDIA
"16xCSAA" if an app wana have 16xCSAA then the only true solution is give them the 16xCSAA !
and this is a "nvidia it means to played" game means nvidia payes for that bug !
they only wana be sure amd cards run on "16xCSAA" and nvidia cards run on 4xaa
its just not an bugfix force 4X by driver!
its a cheat nothing more.
LMFAO, you really have no clue. The apps 4x setting requests the highest available instead of the true 4x AA mode. That's not a cheat. It would be the same if the the app says 1920x1200 but instead of requesting 1920x1200 it requests the highest resolution of the monitor which could be 2560x1600. The driver bug fix is there to just give what the app is requesting. That's not cheating, that's proper development.
Cheating would be requesting 4x AA and then the drivers providing only 2x AA.
the dev of the app define what kind of aa they wana have and not the 'menu'
means if the dev write 4xaa in the menu and write force highest AA in the sourcecode then the highest AA count and not the writing in the menu.
nvidia just cheat thats because the dev wana have highest AA and not 4X

Overview: When considering a two-bottle a month wine club for yourself or someone else, this wine club ought to be near the top of your list.
What We Love: When it comes to places to find deals on wine, we often look to the California Wine Club. Not only do they start with great prices on their Premier Series wines, but they also have fantastic discounts after the shipments have gone out.
Could Be Better: We'd like to see them offer bigger shipments.
Overview: Exclusive wines from around the world and an Adventure Package of tasty treats and other goodies to take you on a worldwide journey without leaving your living room.

Could Be Better: We don't have any suggestions for what to improve within the International Series wine club. Yay!
Overview: Custom wine club where you choose everything. These everyday drinkers deliver amazing QPR due to clever buying strategies.

Could Be Better: We've had some complaints about quality. This is probably more a factor of their high-end marketing push which makes buyers think these are exceptional wines, when really, they're just good wines.

Overview: A premium-level California wine club featuring some of the finest wines produced in California.
What We Love: They reward volume purchasing! If you can afford it, by upgrading to the 4-bottle per shipment program you can save up to $13 per bottle.
Could Be Better: It seems like the price on this wine club is a little higher than it needs to be, so dropping it a bit and extending more of a discount to their premium subscribers would make us happy.
Overview: The most popular varietal for single-varietal wine clubs is probably Pinot Noir but none of the other wine clubs come with the precedent of quality set by Gold Medal Wine Club.
What We Love: They seek out truly special Pinot Noir selections from California and around the world. Pinot Noir is a very fussy grape and we're happy to have them do the legwork for us.
Could Be Better: We don't have any suggestions for what to improve within the Pinot Noir Series wine club. Yay!
Limited Time Offer
Show Mom you love her with this deal: Wine & Chocolate! Beautiful gift presentation and bonus gourmet truffles for gifts of any length. Get this deal until May 12
Overview: The big brother wine club for the award-winning Gold Series, we think they're delivering a top-notch wine experience with this wine club, too.
What We Love: For a wine club that picks out such excellent wine, they don't need to be so customer-friendly on their extra features... but they are! We can't help but love their attention to detail.
Could Be Better: Especially at this level, we'd really like to see more information about the winemaking (not just the vineyards and the winemakers).

A general staple for any man's diet. Made by throwning together pre-cooked, easily heatable canned food consisting of meat, beans, and various other by-products. Served with an equal amount, by weight, of cheese and/or lard. Goes well with hamburgers or any variation of easily prepareable meat products.
Since no woman was around to make sandwiches, we decided to combine refried beans, corned beef hash, chili, two cans of sloppy joes sandwich sauce, and 10 slices of american cheese and pour it over bacon cheeseburgers, thus making man-slop.

1821-up Flying Sleigh
1821 • etc.
Jon Paulette is a veteran automotive writer who has spent a fair portion of his life hanging out at racetracks and talking to amazing people who make extremely loud cars reach ridiculous speeds. Despite all that, he still has enough hearing left to enjoy a stupidly large music collection. A native Virginian, Jon lives in the Charlottesville area, roots for the Nationals and would like a good BBQ sandwich right about now.
More from Jon Paulette
One early variation of the 1821-up Flying Sleigh
After almost two centuries of use, the Flying Sleigh remains the undisputed leader in the "worldwide overnight toy delivery vehicle" segment. With legendary performance, fantastic reliability and unlimited cargo capacity, it's easy to see why. Though some scientists and engineers continue to scoff at the idea of a renewable energy-powered vehicle capable of delivering toys to millions of good girls and boys around the world, the Flying Sleigh's record speaks for itself.
Room for a world of gifts – and a great stereo system
The unique reindeer-based propulsion system (a Flying Sleigh exclusive) remains the envy of the package delivery industry. Though basic maintenance is required 365 days per year and (typically) several times on work nights, the effort pays off with a combination of speed and reliability that's almost unheard-of.
The addition of a ninth reindeer in 1939 gave the Flying Sleigh a fresh new look and a mild performance boost. As a bonus, the glow from the new reindeer's shiny red nose proved to be a huge benefit on foggy nights. Safety innovations like that one have helped the Flying Sleigh accumulate an estimated 5 million-plus miles of service without a reported accident or mechanical failure.
The Flying Sleigh's spacious cockpit and open-air design ensures comfortable seating and outstanding visibility, but wind noise is quite noticeable and the driver is exposed to the elements. With that in mind, it's important to choose durable, versatile gear that's tough enough to keep the carols cranking all night long in any conditions.
Installing a new stereo
The Flying Sleigh's stock radio was a set of bells that, while certainly capable of playing popular music, usually wound up jingling in the wind. As for news, weather and traffic updates—forget it.
A navigation receiver, like the Alpine 8" INE-Z928HD, has all the connectivity perks your sleigh is missing.
An in-dash DVD/navigation receiver (not to be confused with the in-Dasher designs tested and abandoned during the nineties) is the perfect solution for the driver with lots of places to go and little time to get there. The screens are getting bigger all the time, the navigation quality is first-rate and, with great features like SiriusXM satellite radio, Pandora® Internet radio, and iPod® or iPhone® compatibility, these high-performance models aren't just radios, they're total entertainment centers. If you're taking a spin around the world, a quality multimedia receiver is a terrific travel companion.
Updating the Sleigh's "infotainment" system will involve some modification to the cockpit area. You'll need to build a dashboard to hold the new receiver and speakers, of course, plus you'll need to fabricate mounts for any additional speakers you're planning to add at the rear of the vehicle. Extensive wiring is involved, but the open-air design and spartan interior help make the task easier than it could be.
The average "do-it-yourselfer" could get all of this done in a couple of days, but this is a busy time of the year for anyone who owns and operates a Flying Sleigh. Barring an unprecedented number of "naughty" children, you're better off saving your strength and leaving the job to an experienced installer. Or a team of elves.
Installing new speakers
The Flying Sleigh's lack of front doors helps with speedy ingress and egress, which is why it continues to influence Earth-bound package delivery vehicles today. Alas, it also makes front speaker placement a bit of a challenge. Thankfully, the spacious cockpit and wide-open dash area allow for some custom solutions.
We suggest a set of marine-rated speakers. If you opt for a component system, the woofers will mount nicely near the base of the dash, while the tweeters will fit comfortably in your custom dashboard assembly. Your speakers will sound terrific, even in howling, windy conditions; plus they'll really stand up to winter weather.
Like a pickup truck, the Flying Sleigh can haul vast amounts of stuff, yet offers little room for rear speaker placement. As with the front speakers, you'll need to fabricate a custom housing to mount speakers in the rear of your sky-ride. One option is to use a pair of 6"x9" boxes and bolt them to the sides of the sleigh somewhere behind the seat.
Bass in your Flying Sleigh
For the best overall sound quality, we suggest mounting a powered subwoofer below the seat. Marine-grade amps and subs are available, but if you enclose the below-seat area, standard car audio equipment should be just fine. This set-up should have you shaking like a bowlful of jelly all night long. And if you want serous, bell-jingling bass power, the opportunities are as limitless as your imagination.
The Sound Ordnance B-24 loaded bandpass enclosure will fill your sleigh with bass.
Powering up
Unlike the Flying Sleigh's famed red-nosed reindeer, aftermarket stereo equipment is not self-powered. You'll need to add some juice to operate this gear, and that means you need a sturdy, deep-cycle battery. Make sure it's rugged enough for extreme conditions and guaranteed not to leak or corrode, because no one wants a baby doll that's been soaking in battery acid for three hours. For optimal weight distribution, mount the battery behind the seat, in the center of the chassis. A battery hold-down will keep it in place during high-speed aerial maneuvers.
Other options
Anyone who's ever tried to control nine flying reindeer knows the importance of keeping both hands on the reins at all time. A Bluetooth® headset is almost essential for a vehicle like the Flying Sleigh.
Find the gear that fits
A compact rear-view camera can be a big help when your vision is obstructed by bags of toys and you're trying to park on a top of a snow-covered roof.
Flying Sleighs are well-known radar magnets. In fact, there's an entire website devoted to tracking Flying Sleigh speeds and travel patterns. Track 'em back with a high-tech radar detector. The latest models can also alert you to the presence of speed cameras. (Just remember to turn the detector off when you're in Virginia or Washington, D.C.)
Find what fits your vehicle
You might not own a Flying Sleigh (yet), but you can still get the gift of great car audio for your current vehicle. Click below, and enter your vehicle information.

Dickey aims to keep Blue Jays' playoff hopes alive
After winning opener, Red Sox turn to De La Rosa at Rogers Centre
The Blue Jays went to Fenway Park at the end of July and swept the Red Sox in convincing fashion. But since then, Toronto has been victorious in just one series (1-5-1).
On Tuesday at Rogers Centre against Boston, the Blue Jays will look to avoid dropping another three-game set behind righty R.A. Dickey. Rubby De La Rosa will take the hill for the Red Sox, who snapped an eight-game losing streak Monday.
Dickey has three wins in as many tries against Boston this season. He's given up just six earned runs in 19 1/3 innings, including a dominant outing on July 28 that was overshadowed by Toronto's offensive eruption. He allowed a run, three hits, one walk and fanned a season-high 10 batters over seven innings in a 14-1 win.
Since that start, though, Dickey has posted a 5.11 ERA and .293/.364/.485 slash line over four outings. He allowed five runs on eight hits Wednesday in a 9-5 win over Milwaukee. The Blue Jays erupted for five in the sixth inning, but Dickey gave a pair back by allowing a two-out, two-run homer.
"I expect more out of myself, especially there in the sixth," Dickey said. "I was one out away from a tolerable outing, but I've got to get better at being able to close out innings where we score runs in the top of the inning. I was right there, just one bad floating knuckleball and it was a two-run home run. I fought hard, as hard as I could."
De La Rosa, meanwhile, has turned much better numbers at Fenway Park than away from it. At home, the 25-year-old righty has a 3.16 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. On the road, he's 1-3 with a 4.33 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.
On Thursday against the Angels, De La Rosa surrendered eight hits but just two runs over 6 2/3 innings in a 2-0 Halos win at Fenway. He tied a season high with eight strikeouts and walked three.
"After the second inning, [when] he did a very good job pitching out of a bases-loaded jam, I thought he settled in," manager John Farrell said, referencing an inning in which De La Rosa struck out Kole Calhoun and Mike Trout with the bases loaded. "He was really strong early on, with better velocity than we've seen. He settled in and was very good. Very good changeup, good slider at times."
Red Sox: Ortiz sits with bruised foot
This past weekend was a tough one for David Ortiz's body. He sat Thursday with general soreness, likely because he was on base and running so much in the days prior. On Saturday, he got hit above the left elbow with a fastball and exited the game.
On Sunday, Ortiz fouled a pitch off his right foot and stayed in the game. After singling during his next at-bat, Kelly Johnson pinch-ran for the Red Sox slugger. On Monday, Boston held Ortiz out of the lineup with a bruised right foot.
Ortiz didn't take batting practice Monday, but he said he hoped to play Tuesday.
"I think I got away with [something] right there," Ortiz said. "That ball I hit off my foot -- I hit the ball off my foot all the time -- but I think that was like the worst I've ever hit a ball of my foot. I went down to the ground. It was a pitch that was cutting in, so it felt like the same velocity that the pitch was coming in was the same or more than hit my foot. That's why it hurt so bad."
Ortiz has been one of the lone bright spots this season for the Red Sox, who are 7-13 in August. This month, he's hit .361/.462/.672 with five home runs and 16 RBIs. He's raised his average 15 points and his on-base percentage 18 points in August, as well.
Ortiz also loves hitting in the Rogers Centre. His 37 home runs there are the most of any visiting player and his 96 RBIs rank second behind only Alex Rodriguez (97).
Blue Jays: Sticking with Janssen as closer
Righty Casey Janssen wasn't available Monday because he pitched back-to-back days, but when he is ready to throw again, he'll still be Toronto's closer.
Janssen has had a rocky last month, allowing 10 earned runs over 13 2/3 innings since the All-Star break. The 32-year-old blew his fourth save of the season Saturday against the Rays.
"We need him to be good, we need him to pick it up, that's for sure," manager John Gibbons said. "But we could say that about a few guys. We haven't decided to [remove him from his role]."
Janssen missed all of April with a left abdominal and lower back strain. Janssen felt some soreness in his right shoulder during Spring Training, but he didn't allow a run in his first nine appearances after coming off the disabled list in mid-May. The club insists the surgically repaired shoulder isn't causing his problems now.
Worth noting
• Brock Holt will be Boston's regular shortstop with Xander Bogaerts on the seven-day concussion disabled list. Bogaerts was hit in the head with a Felix Hernandez changeup Friday night and will rejoin the team this weekend in St. Petersburg, when he's eligible to return.
Holt, the Red Sox's super-utility man, has played shortstop eight times this season, and he needs to catch and pitch to check all nine spots on the field off his positional list.
• Blue Jays starters have allowed at least four runs in eight of the club's last 12 games.

Pro Tip: Wireless Carrier salesmen suck and are not to be trusted. I overheard an AT&T salesman try and talk an older woman out of getting an iPhone because "You can't use a stylus with the iPhone" Personally, I was lied to when I preordered my iPhone 5. I told the salesman that he had to absolutely guarantee that I would receive my iPhone on the first day, the 21st. I had to have it this day because I was having it shipped to a hotel I was staying at out of state. He said "100%, it will be there on the 21st" Well, what do you know, didn't ship until the 23rd, after I had flown back home. I even tried to cancel it before it shipped because I knew it wasn't going to be delivered on the 21st. Once again, a salesman said he cancelled it for me, again lies. I ended up having to call the hotel I stayed at and telling them to refuse the delivery. This post was edited on 10/1 at 12:39 pm Reply Back to Top |

I currently live in mandiville and the only upgrade I would get for the phone is a bigger screen (comparing iphone 4s to iphone 5) the quicker processing is so slight you can't really tell the difference. a month wait and the 100 dollar difference also played a large role in my decesion. I also had a friend who currently has an iphone 5 and he said if he knew what this new iphone would be like he wouldn't have waited 6 months to upgrade and just gotten the iphone 4s.

Posted by BurasTigah on 10/1 at 1:57 pm to trillhog quote: Apple maps are in their infancy. They will get better, but Google maps have just taken mapping to the next level. 3d mapping is pretty in Apple maps, but things like Googles traffic and street view have real value. I love using navigation on my Galaxy Nexus when I don't know where I am going and the street view pops up and shows me exactly what to look for and how to get around traffic. Apple will hopefully get there one day, but they are like a pee wee football team compared to a super bowl contending NFL team right now. When Apple publicly apologizes for something, you know it's completely shite. This post was edited on 10/1 at 1:58 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by colorchangintiger on 10/1 at 2:06 pm to BurasTigah I'm pretty sure Apple's navigation routes around traffic as well. I'm not saying that it's better than google's implementation, just that it is there.Reply Back to Top |

As I said when they announced it, I'm really impressed by the hardware in the iPhone 5. Doing some analysis and theoretical comparisons really just hammered that in. I mean 3D transistors?

Prediction of the Transmitted Light Through a Nano-Aperture of SNOM Probes
G. Louarn, S. Taleb, and S. CuenotInstitut des Matériaux Jean Rouxel, Nantes
The knowledge of the light propagation through a nanometer-size aperture is crucial for Scanning Optical Near Field Microscopy (SNOM).
In this work, we address a numerical study of the transmitted electric field through a SNOM probe. The influence of the wavelength is also studied.
Our results show that the logarithmic power decreases linearly as a function of the aperture size, and the energy electric density decreases exponentially with the tip-sample distance, which is explained by the evanescent character of the near field.
