Nunes New Role as Chairman of House Subcommittee on Trade Good News for Dairy Sector
Nunes New Role as Chairman of House Subcommittee on Trade Good News for Dairy Sector
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) welcomed the announcement of Representative Nunes (R-CA) appointment as the new chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade. Nunes, currently serving as one of the co-chairs of the Congressional Dairy Farmer Caucus, has been a leading champion of the U.S. dairy industry, as well as broader agricultural interests, since his election to Congress in 2002. Nunes has also been a strong advocate for expanding trade and represents the largest milk producing district in the country.
"Represenative Nunes has sought out opportunities to lead on trade issues concerning U.S. dairy farmers," said Jerry Kozak, president and CEO of NMPF. "In just the past few years, his leadership in the Ways and Means Subcommittee has helped foster progress on many Trade issues impacting the U.S. dairy sector, as well as other agricultural industries."
"USDEC looks forward to working with Represenative Nunes in his new capacity as chairman of the trade subcommittee," said Tom Suber, president of USDEC. "With exports now totaling approximately almost 14% of U.S. milk production, trade plays a vital role in the health and growth of the U.S. dairy industry."
Some notable examples of the Congressman's past work in this area include the following, many undertaken in cooperation with fellow co-Chairs of the Congressional Dairy Farmer Caucus:
• Leading work on the importance of stronger sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) commitments and enforcement in U.S. trade policy, including free trade agreements and as a factor in evaluating access to the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) evaluations.
• Successfully advocating for resolution of the U.S.-Mexico trucking retaliation, which negatively impacted U.S. cheese exports and threatened further damage to the largest U.S. export market
• Pursuing clarity for U.S. cheese exports to Korea in the wake of potentially harmful EU-Korea FTA restrictions that threatened the use of many generic cheese terms such as parmesan, mozzarella and others
• Highlighting the negative impact that India's unscientific import requirements impose on U.S. dairy companies.

This vacuum is fantastic. The suction is just as strong as the dc41 i bought my wife for xmas and yes we have 2 dysons, not that im lazy and cant lug the other one upstairs and downstairs, this works for many uses. *Cars *Hardwood ( one room in our house has carpet downstairs, rest is hardwood) *Carpet of course, but this is mainly used for the hardwood *Pets - ill explain later *Stairs - a must!! This thing maneuvers super easily gets in corners, under the couches, under small tables, etc. very easy on the hardwood, the width on the head may turn off some people since it will take longer. We have a very large downstairs so this takes a while , works up a sweat, but gets the job done. We went from a I*obot Pet R**mba(this thing was the ultimate garbage, i have never been so unhappy) and This thing cleaned the after math of it. Grant it, i had to clean the roomba filter 3 times during one outing (annoying) and the thing wouldnt make it back to its homebase to charge. So, we used it one last time before this bad boy came in and let it clean. I used the dyson after, and it filled 2 canisters after the roomba did the entire downstairs. I am so glad we took that ting back. The dyson has such a strong suction that it doesnt leave anything behind, even paper towel chunks ( i didnt see under the table) . Car - I havent used on the car, but i dont see why it wouldnt be easy. especially with the attachments included Stairs - came out looking fantastic, it manuevers so easy to use on stairs. This made my decision to keep easy. Carpet - Used on the carpeted room and stairs, and no surpirise here, sucked very nicely and left carpet looking new - again - roomba sucked Pets - I bought the grooming kit from dyson, was on sale on another site and this blew me away. We have a pom/shelty mix and this dog sheds like a freshly shaved back. Grooming her with the attachment left her hair ultra silky and the vacuum sucking the hair, shocking how much the canister filled. Her coat was glossy and she didnt even mind it. She just doesnt like the normal vacuum when im doing the hardwood but the dyson groom tool , you really need to look into. My pitbull is also shedding since the summer is here and i brushed her too and she didnt like the vacuum at all, but after a bit groomed her too and she doesnt look shaggy. This is by far the greatest selling point to me and recommend anyone to buy the attachment with this vacuum if you have pets, you will be so happy. Self coiling plug is awesome. Wish my dc41 had that. Cons - Cord - Could be the size of our home, but i only had to unplug 2 times to place elsewhere to finish the rest of the house. Not a big deal. Main attachment - could have been wider , but thats the lazy part of me talking. the not so widepart is convenient when cleaning Scratches - I know this is refurbished, guess my luck ran out as usually when i buy refurb products, and i do alot, they are 99% new, this is about 96% as the scratches are barely noticable. Warranty - while the ext. warranty here isnt much, dyson usually gives 5 years, but this only comes with 6 months? Doesnt sound right. None of the above cons would force me to lower my score on this. This is a great machine and the scratches would have come eventually
This is my buyer beware. I have had a Dyson Animal upright for over 6 years. I LOVE that it has a motorized brush bar, and the suction, but it never fit under furniture, and the air driven brush bar on the stair attachment would always make total contact, causing the brush bar to stop turning (because air could no longer get through). After reading the description here, I decided it was time to go with the Animal Canister. This would allow me to reach under beds/couches/chairs. I was fairly certain they did not have a model with a motorized brush bar, but the description stated such, so I took the plunge. The quality of the refurb is EXCELLENT. I can't tell that it has been refurbished. The pieces snap together with ease, the suction is great. This is not the Ball model, as the description says, but that wasn't a deal breaker for me. The brush bar is NOT motorized. I tried it-on wood floors, great. Just like you would expect from a Dyson. On the carpet-meh. The brush bar would turn for a bit, then decide it was close enough to make a vacuum seal on the carpet and stop turning. Deal breaker. So for what it's worth, this is a great, lightweight canister vac with tons of suction power. If you have animals and need a brush bar to help get all that hair out of your carpet/couch/etc, it just does not cut it. Save your money and buy the cheaper non-Animal Dyson, there is no more benefit with this vacuum.
Firstly, I will be happy to update this when everything gets resolved with customer service - but until then I wanted other customers to be aware of the accessory issue with this refurb. I bought two of these and have had lots of issues getting the missing mini turbine head tools sent out to me. The Q&A section for this refurb product CLEARLY states that the mini turbine head is the only tool you can basically count on getting (check out that section for yourself, the link is on this page). Customer service has been so friendly, and initially I was told - yep - they should have been included in my shipment but after waiting a week or so I was just told they are not included. Now, knowing that is contradictory to the product description and Q&A answers from Overstock reps - I called up to triple check. She said she did see how it WAS supposed to be included and that they are going to either include it or update the website and give me a consolation. Hmm. As long as the consolation is enough to turn around and buy the mini turbine that Overstock sells for $$$ - I'm peachy keen. It's weird that they would not just send it my way when I know it is in stock because they are selling it separately - but I will not fret over that. But I do worry that other customers didn't get the mini turbine either and overpaid for what is no longer the "Animal" DC23 but instead the cheaper but cheaper DC Turbine head. The machine specs are identical - the only difference in the machines is the accessories and the color. Well, I love the vacuum. Overstock has been very friendly - and I am pretty confident that they will right this. But I also wanted to put this online so that other people are aware of what they are/ or are not getting with this product.
The first time I vacuumed and really felt like I really cleaned up. It pulls so much dirt out of the carpet. Animal hair was no problem. I love it...love it...love it!!!
I love it!!!! Although it does not have a motorized head, it still works like one. The suction is incredible. Easy to put together, easy to handle, easy to maneuver, easy to clean...I used to own the animal upright and although it is a great machine, it was just too hard to maneuver when just using the attachments; especially on hard wood floors, it kept falling over and just too much to lug around. I own two dogs that shed horribly and this little machine works wonders!!!! Be careful on some throw rugs, however. Note: Always keep the turbo (on the side of the head), wiped off clean of hair or debri for the head will start acting up. Otherwise, this is a great canister and I will never own another vacuum cleaner after purchasing the Dyson DC23 Animal Canister.
I don't know why anyone would buy a non-Dyson vacuum. Not only does it "never lose suction", every single element about this vacuum has benefited from clever design. And it is sturdy. I bought this particular model because it can sit happily on stairs.
dyson is the best. the one and only.
I bought this particular unit because of the price and the suction. The canister units apparently have better suction than the standing units. It is bigger than we would like, just because of it's shape, but that isn't major. Also, according to the directions, you are supposed to wash it completely after every use. That is absurd. Vacuum cleaners are supposed to make life easier, not harder. Anyway, if it is cleaned fairly regularly, it will keep its suction a long time. We have had it a couple of years now, and it still does a better job than any other vacuum we've ever had. I do wish it didn't need to be cleaned so often though.
Love it works great. It was a real bargain. I use it daily.
Unfortunately this product didn't last very long. It died. Was constantly clogging with the dog hairs, which is supposed to be it's specialty. We no longer use this product.

With Central focus, Reds, Bucs keep Wild aspirations
Arroyo to face Locke in rubber game; contenders to meet in final series
The Pirates and Reds will continue to jockey for postseason positioning when they close out their three-game series on Sunday -- but it won't be the last the two rivals see of each other.
In splitting the first two games of the series at PNC Park, the Pirates remain one game ahead of the Reds for the first National League Wild Card spot. Not only do the teams meet again for a season-ending three-game set in Cincinnati next weekend, but if the postseason started today, they would clash in the winner-take-all NL Wild Card game.
That's a fate both clubs would like to avoid and, with that in mind, each team will take the field Sunday aiming to notch a series victory and cut into the Cardinals' lead in the NL Central. St. Louis currently leads Pittsburgh by two games and Cincinnati by three.
As far as simply clinching a postseason berth, the Pirates have a magic number of three, while the Reds sit at four. Only the Nationals remain in contention to overtake one of the NL Central teams for a Wild Card spot, and with Washington playing a doubleheader Sunday after being rained out Saturday night, the Pirates could clinch a playoff spot with a win and two Nationals losses.
Cincinnati will hope to improve its division title hopes by calling on consistent right-hander Bronson Arroyo in the series finale. The Pirates, also hoping to make up ground in the Central, or at least better their chances of earning home-field advantage in a potential Wild Card showdown, will counter with Jeff Locke.
Arroyo enters searching for his first win in nearly a month. The veteran righty is winless in his last four starts, despite allowing just two earned runs in each of his last three outings. Through it all, Arroyo is still 13-11 with a respectable 3.56 ERA. He has notched double-digit win totals in six of his eight seasons with Cincinnati, finishing with exactly nine victories in each of the other two seasons.
"He's always been pretty good. I can't say he is any better this year than in years' past," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "He's one of the most consistent and dependable guys that I've seen. How many years has he won 12 or more or 15 or more, and 200 innings? He hasn't missed a start. I don't think many guys can say that. He's Mr. Dependable, plus he's the guy that shows our young staff the way to go or how to go about it."
Locke, meanwhile, has struggled since a very impressive start to the season. The 25-year-old southpaw started 9-2 with a 2.11 ERA through July 21, but is just 1-4 with a 5.90 ERA in 10 starts since.
Reds: Choo day to day; Hamilton to start in center
With Shin-Soo Choo dealing with a jammed left thumb, speedster Billy Hamilton is expected to start in his place in center field for Sunday's series finale.
Choo, who injured the thumb while sliding into first base in the ninth inning of Friday's series-opening victory, sat out Saturday's contest as well. Though Choo was replaced by Derrick Robinson on Saturday, when the Reds went up against veteran starter A.J. Burnett, Baker said he plans to turn to Hamilton on Sunday versus Locke.
"I thought Robinson could handle Burnett better," Baker said prior to Saturday's game. "I've got to bring Hamilton along slowly and [against] who I think he can hit the best. Right now, you've got a wily veteran facing a kid. Hamilton will play [Sunday]. I've got a kid facing a kid."
In his first career start on Wednesday, Hamilton went 3-for-4 with two walks, a double, four stolen bases, an RBI and two runs scored.
As for Choo, he was scheduled to visit with a doctor late Saturday, but said he hopes the injury will keep him sidelined just a couple days at most.
Pirates: Hurdle taking closer situation day by day
If the Pirates take a close lead into the ninth inning on Sunday, it'll likely be Jason Grilli coming out of the bullpen to try to shut the door.
With Mark Melancon blowing save opportunities on Wednesday and Friday, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle turned to Grilli on Saturday. Grilli, who led the National League with 30 saves before suffering a forearm injury on July 22, pitched a scoreless ninth for his first save since July 21.
Hurdle, however, was non-committal on whether or not the closer role once again belonged exclusively to Grilli, instead saying he was "approaching it day by day."
Worth noting
• Pirates All-Star center fielder Andrew McCutchen is just 1-for-23 (.043) lifetime against Arroyo. The .043 average is McCutchen's worst against any pitcher whom he's faced at least 15 times, though the lone hit versus Arroyo was a home run.
• Arroyo enters Sunday having pitched 192 1/3 innings this season. With another 7 2/3 innings pitched, he would reach the 200-innings plateau for the eighth time in the last nine seasons. He tossed 199 innings in 2011.

When going over and over various designs for my sub, I suddenly had an idea for a new sort of failsafe.
One way of getting a sunken sub back to the surface is to blow the ballast tank, if no catastrophic flooding of the WTC happens the sub will come back up.
So I was thinking, if a gaz boat is out of propel or compressed air, how could we make new air from the available materials ?
Then I thought of it: all we would need is two stainless steel rods or bolts permanently sticking inside the ballast tank, when we need the failsafe to work, we take power from the main battery and divert it to these two stainless bolts, they become electrodes and start separating the water in two gases: oxygen and hydrogen.
The gases will displace the water (slowly) and after a while your ballast tank will be empty.
Of course it is not a fast process and if the main battery is depleted it will not work, but it is pretty cheap to implement and worth a try rather than loosing the sub.
Word of caution: hydrogen and oxygen are very flammable so no smoking when you take the sub out of the water.
Let me know what you think about this idea !

History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
Unprecedented growth in the 1850s strained the fragile agreements that had kept the nation united, but had also kept it part slave, part free. The addition of each new state to the Union rattled the delicate political balance carved out by compromises in Congress. In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed residents of each of these new territories, rather than Congress, to decide whether to permit slavery. While intending to keep the nation together, this act inflamed sectional tensions, producing open warfare between pro- and antislavery forces in Kansas, and led directly to the Civil War.
Defending the Union
Sectional divisions blocked House business before the Civil War. When war came, the House concentrated on winning.
With peace, the House turned to issues of recovery. The House remained deadlocked even as conflict loomed. But Southern congressmen soon defected to the Confederacy, freeing Republican representatives to act. They abolished slavery in territory held by Union troops and passed long-stalled bills to build railroads and open land to homesteaders. After the war, Republicans demanded that the House punish rebels more harshly than Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson recommended. Ultimately, their agenda faltered under its own weight. Republicans failed to remove President Johnson through impeachment. Moreover, the effective resistance of former Confederates frustrated their vision of reshaping the South, socially and economically.
Partisan Politics and the Radical Republicans
In the deeply divided house, balances between parties and regions proved critical. No one bloc dominated, but antislavery Republicans were gaining support. The House remained deadlocked. When the South seceded, however, the logjam broke and Republicans like Thaddeus Stevens assumed unchecked power. After the ambitious postwar Reconstruction failed, a new political era arose in which fresh debates about national economic development replaced old battles about sectionalism and slavery.
Fighting broke out over slavery—on the House floor. The violent slavery disputes among settlers in "Bloody Kansas" provoked passions in Congress. During a late-night House session in 1858, South Carolina's Laurence Keitt called Pennsylvania's Galusha Grow a "black Republican puppy." Grow responded by knocking down Keitt. Suddenly, dozens of members were pushing, punching, and wrestling on the House floor.
The Speaker and the Sergeant at Arms, wielding the clublike Mace, tried to restore order. They failed. The brawl finally ended when one member dramatically snatched his opponent's wig. Peals of laughter calmed tempers; everyone shook hands and resumed debate. But the incident seemed an ominous sign of troubled times. Representative Alexander Stephens of Georgia concluded, "The Union cannot or will not last long."
Can one person make a difference? Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania lived and died a crusader for equality. For seven years (1861–1868), his determined opposition to slavery helped shape the character of the House. Stevens later was buried in an integrated cemetery with the epitaph "Equality of Man before his Creator."
As Chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee and a member of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War, Stevens used his skill as a wily parliamentarian and fearless debater to press for military victory. After the war, he opposed President Andrew Johnson's lenient policies toward the defeated Confederacy. Stevens' ill health prevented him from playing an active role in Johnson's 1868 Senate trial. He died just weeks after it ended.
"... [E]very man, no matter what his race or color; every earthly being who has an immortal soul, has an equal right to justice, honesty, and fair play with every other man; and the law should secure him those rights."
— Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania, 1867
"All men are created equal," proclaimed the Declaration of Independence. Nearly a century later, the Fifteenth Amendment redeemed that promise. The right to vote, it stated, could not be denied "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Educated African-Americans provided leadership for freed slaves. In 1870, Representative Joseph Rainey of South Carolina became the first black member to serve in the House. During Reconstruction, 14 African-Americans held House seats. Eight had been born into slavery, six born free.
When federal troops left the South in 1877, Reconstruction ended. So did the era of opportunity. African-Americans gradually disappeared from the House. As Southern states passed "Jim Crow" laws enforcing segregation in the 1890s, African-Americans were barred from the polls and from political office.
Priorities changed quickly after the Civil War and during Reconstruction. The generation that had fought against slavery now turned its attention to the nation's economic growth. Deals involving the transcontinental railroad, however, illustrated the potential for corruption as the nation rapidly grew.
The Union Pacific Railroad had created the fraudulent Crédit Mobilier Company to build its stretch of the cross-country line at inflated cost. To ensure political support for the venture, Representative Oakes Ames, an agent for Crédit Mobilier, gave shares in the company to members of Congress. Ames later reported back to the company that he had distributed this stock "where it will produce most good to us." Press reports exposed the scandal in 1872, ruining several political careers.

This ornate desk was the sole working space for two representatives—tight quarters by today's standards. But back in 1857, when the House moved into its new chamber, with new desks and chairs, legislators judged it more spacious and stylish than their old accommodations.

Thaddeus Stevens 1792–1868, Pennsylvania
Elderly and frail, Stevens was nonetheless the strongman of the House. Although he was a high-minded champion of abolition and practiced temperance, he was not particularly religious, frequenting Washington's gambling houses and liberally using salty language. But in debate he was a formidable opponent. He once taunted, "I yield to the gentleman for a few feeble remarks."

A slave in his youth, Rainey was the first African-American to serve in the House. When Speaker James G. Blaine turned the gavel over temporarily to Rainey during an 1874 debate, Rainey became the first black American to preside over the House. Yet despite his congressional membership, he was still refused service in a Virginia dining room.

Hon. James G. Blaine, Representative from Maine, engraving by George Edward Perine, ca. 1863–1876
Some House leaders have exercised influence through their powerful personalities. Blaine was a striking example. He became Speaker in 1869, at the start of his fourth term in the House. Blaine chose to lead behind the scenes rather than through his oratory or parliamentary skills. His three terms as Speaker were admired for his firm and fair command over the House.

The House moved into its present chamber in 1857. Individual desks, often crowded with papers, served as a representative's only office.

With Red Sox rolling along, Rays reeling
Cobb looks to slow down Boston's momentum opposite Dempster
The Red Sox have been steadily building their lead in the American League East over the past month, and they haven't shown any signs of letting up.
Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the second-place Rays put the 8 1/2 games up entering the second game of their three-game set on Wednesday night.
Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia wants to make sure that lead keeps growing.
"The hottest team wins," Pedroia said of postseason play. "Once you get in, it's whoever is playing the best. ... We want to keep our foot on the gas."
The Rays haven't much resembled a playoff team since they entered August a half-game behind the Red Sox in the AL East. Having lost 11 of 15, they now find themselves holding on for dear life atop a thrilling race for the second AL Wild Card spot, in which four teams are separated by just two games.
Tampa Bay sends Boston native Alex Cobb to the mound, looking for him to improve on his solid home splits (5-0 with a 2.93 ERA).
"This September time of the year is fun regardless, but -- it being even more heated with Boston coming in -- it's definitely a little bit of added adrenaline to the game," Cobb said.
In his last start against the Red Sox, Cobb allowed a season-high six runs in four innings. He has posted a 5.39 ERA in three starts against Boston this season.
"You don't have time to figure it out against these guys," Cobb said. "You have to come out of the chute 100 percent, executing everything."
Opposite Cobb will be veteran right-hander Ryan Dempster, who has strangely made just nine starts on the road this season, compared with 18 at Fenway Park. Dempster (8-9, 4.79 ERA) has won consecutive starts, despite allowing seven runs in those two outings.
Before the game, the Rays will honor the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the 12th anniversary of the tragic day. Wounded Warrior Andrew Harriman will throw out the first pitch, and a fire truck and police vehicles will partake in a pregame ride around Tropicana Field.
There will be a moment of silence before the national anthem and an in-game recognition of the first responders. The "We Shall Not Forget" MLB silhouetted batter ribbon will be displayed and both teams will wear caps with an American flag embroidered on the side.
While the Red Sox are on the road, the organization will team with the American Red Cross and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to host the 11th annual Day of Remembrance Blood Drive at Fenway Park from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Those who are eligible are invited to donate blood in honor of those lost in 9/11, and this year's drive also will commemorate the Boston Marathon survivors. The event is presented in cooperation with the Boston Police, Firefighters and EMTs. Appointments to donate blood can be made by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by visiting http://redcrossblood.org.
Red Sox: Pedroia takes over in leadoff spot
Batting leadoff for the first time since 2009, Pedroia went 1-for-4. With Jacoby Ellsbury sidelined with a right foot injury, manager John Farrell said he's looking for "a guy that would see a lot of pitches," to take Ellsbury's place.
In his career, Pedroia is hitting just .253 in 324 lifetime at-bats in the leadoff spot.
"It doesn't change my approach or anybody else's," said Pedroia. "I liked hitting leadoff. I hit there basically my whole life until my second year."
Rays: Maddon not looking to past
Although the parallels between 2011 and this season certainly exist, Rays manager Joe Maddon doesn't want to connect those dots.
In 2011, the Rays were 6 1/2 games behind Boston with 20 games remaining, but came back to win the AL Wild Card.
"A lot of guys who actually lived that moment are not here," Maddon said. "And I'm not one to always talk about the past and try to conjure up those kinds of comparisons. Again, it's a new group of guys."
Worth noting
• Only three Rays hitters have more than 10 plate appearances against Dempster and they've all struggled: James Loney (3-for-24), Kelly Johnson (1-for-14) and Yunel Escobar (2-for-14).
• The Red Sox have been in first place for an American League-leading 139 days.
• Boston has secured a victory in the season series against Tampa Bay for the first time since 2007.

The D 7050 Direct Digital Network Receiver, D 3020 Digital DAC/Amplifier and D 1050 USB 24/192 DAC will ship in July.
The consumer electronics industry keeps pushing digital music. However, we know that there are still a lot of audio purists out there. NAD Electronics is hoping to combine that audiophile quality and today's music formats with a trio of new products aimed at digital music reproduction.
Modeled after the company's 3020 amp from the late '70s, the new D 3020 Digital DAC/Amplifier promises that same amp quality, but when paired with computers and smartphones. It has inputs to accommodate the computer, as well as coaxial and optical devices. Other features include a USB input with an asynchronous mode, Bluetooth aptX support, and power output of 30 watts per channel.
The best home theater system is the one you plan with help from the experts. Get premium advice for FREE in our expert guide, Planning the Best Home Theater System: Choosing the Best Home Theater Projector, Best Home Theater Speakers, Best Home Theater Receiver, Best Home Theater Screens & More.
RELATED: Top Trends at the New York Audio Show
Next in the new line is the D 7050 Direct Digital Network Receiver. This was made to be paired with a computer or smartphone running iTunes, as well as a home's WiFi network. From there, you can add in your favorite speakers and have audio almost anywhere in the home. Other features include Direct Digital technology, Apple AirPlay, and support for any UPnP audio content on your home's network. This one also works with Bluetooth aptX and has a headphone amplifier output. According to NAD, the D 7050 doesn't have any analog circuits, meaning there's no noise or distortion issues.
Last in the lineup is the D 1050 USB 24/192 DAC. Designed to put computer audio on any stereo setup, the unit has S/PDIF inputs to support balanced AES/EBU, coaxial and optical connectors. There's also a USB input, which supports the USB Audio Codec 2.0 allowing 192 kHz signal transmission.
RELATED: Merging Vintage Tech with New Automation
NAD has priced the D 7050 at $999, with the D 3020 and D 1050 each listed with an MSRP of $499 each. The company is taking pre-orders for each product now, with plans to ship sometime in July.

Superfeet premium insoles feature their Encapsulating Stabilizer System which provides ideal biomechanical support, allowing your body to move easily, lowering the risk of fatigue and injury.
Receive free 3 day shipping on any order $60 and up! Plus every order is covered by our Low Price Guarantee!
Superfeet was founded by podiatric doctors to provide affordable orthotics to the public. Since 1977, Superfeet has created comfortable insoles and orthotics for all sorts of footwear needs. Different types of feet require different types of footwear, so Superfeet provides insoles for any foot type or any sport or activity.
Superfeet insoles excel in providing support and shock absorption with its patented Stabilizer Capsule, deep heel cup, and shape. Heat and friction are reduced with the use of Holofiber fabric, thus keeping your feet cool and comfortable all day long.
First, determine if you have a neutral, pronated (turning inward) or supinated (turning outward) foot. Neutral feet usually do not require orthotics, but can still benefit from extra shock absorption that insoles provide. Pronated and supinated feet usually benefit from orthotics and insoles, and can be helpful to treat flat arches, back and hip pain, plantar fasciitis, etc. Insoles can help those people create an efficient gait and help prevent further injuries as well as help the shoe feel more comfortable.
Also take into account the type of footwear you're wearing. If your shoes contain a removable insole or sockliner, you can insert a Superfeet insole, trimmed to fit, into your shoe for added comfort. If your shoe does not contain a removable insole, one of Superfeet's low-volume insoles can be used for this purpose.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Would it be possible to make a benchmark for PTS to test how the perceived responsiveness of the desktop has changed?
Phoronix: Linux 2.6.37-rc1 Kernel Is Here; Can Build Without BKL
As anticipated, the 2.6.37 merge window closed yesterday and the first release candidate for the Linux 2.6.37 kernel is now available. Major changes that were pushed into the Linux 2.6.37 kernel include support for building the kernel without the Big Kernel Lock (BKL), many graphics DRM improvements, and more of the responsiveness patches...
Would it be possible to make a benchmark for PTS to test how the perceived responsiveness of the desktop has changed?
Here is some background for illustrating what it's all about: http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Removing...g_Kernel_Lock2
This effort has been going on for 8 years now!
(edit limit bites again)
Reminds of the Dilbert where they hypnotize Wally back to his younger/Cobol days cause he's the only one that can fix the mainframe...the various dependencies of the lock are lost in the haze of 15 years of code changes, "all this has built up to a kind of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about the BKL: nobody really knows it, nobody really dares to touch it and code can break silently and subtly if BKL locking is wrong."
I was worried about btrfs because there didn't really happen anything and no commits for the past 2-3 months it seemed, but I see there's lots of stuff in the .37rc1 kernel, so all is well. I see that someone from RedHat is on the ball with btrfs also now.
Will a kernel w/o Big Kernel Lock itself result in any noticeable performance difference for a Desktop user?
What kind of functionality is currently tied to V4L? Webcams?
How does BKL apply to V4L2?
I think the problem is that V4L manually locks and unlocks the BKL, which will not work if BKL is not used. It will have to be ported, like most core subsystems have been already.
I don't know if it will result in performance improvement, but I believe that this was not the major motivation. The major motivation is that it was one big scary voodoo which nobody really understood anymore.
Is there any progress with Linux responsiveness problems
as reported in:
There were certain places where i think it limited performance, but whether that will be noticeable by a desktop user I'm not sure. I think it was important for things like RT linux as well. The real gain is that now driver and subsystem maintainers can work in their code without having to worry about messing up the BKL in weird ways for everyone else that is using it across the whole kernel.

WWE legend Jake "The Snake" Roberts is hospitalized in intensive care with double pneumonia.
Roberts had been flying to Las Vegas to appear in a show when he passed out on the plane Wednesday, according to WrestlingInc.com.
An ambulance whisked him off to a local hospital, where he was in a coma for 24 hours.
Roberts awoke from the coma Thursday night, but was still "fading in and out" of consciousness, fellow wrestler Sinn Bodhi tweeted.
Doctors have said his lungs are filled with fluid and there is a mass on his brain.
Roberts was a huge WWE star in the 1980s and early 1990s and was inducted into the organization's Hall of Fame prior to Wrestlemania in April.

2013/01/08 /
Four times Dakar winner Cyril Despres of the Red Bull KTM factory team continued to ride at his own pace in Tuesday's Stage Four on his KTM 450 Rally bike, sacrificing a few minutes to finish third in the overall standings but saving energy for the long and strenuous ride ahead.
Cyril Despres, not only an exceptional rider but also a great tactician said he had backed off a little in the stage, which gave those behind a chance to gain some time. "It's not the first time this happens," Despres said at the end of the stage. "But don't worry about me, I'm racing my way. I've been riding at a high pace for three days, but not flat out, which helps me to save energy and avoid pushing the motorcycle to the limit. When you start at the back and go like crazy all day long, you ride in the dust, so if you later have mechanical problems, it won't be down to just bad luck... The rally's still long and I ride at my pace!"
Despres may have coasted in after the day's ride at fifteenth place but he is only 3:09 minutes behind the overall leader and feeling comfortable after what was a tough 720 km total ride in Tuesday's stage. Organizers had planned it to be the reverse of a stage from last year's edition and it included a tricky 2 km downhill slide in the first third of the special.
Fastest KTM factory rider in Stage Four was Despres' support rider Ruben Faria who finished in sixth place 12:18 minutes behind today's stage leader Joan Barreda of Spain. Other riders from the two KTM factory teams included Jakub Przygonski in ninth, South Africa's Riaan Van Niekerk in eleventh, American Kurt Caselli in seventeenth, Darryl Curtis of South Africa in twenty second and Joan Pedrero in twenty third. Faria is also now sixth overall 8:39 behind the leader and Przygonski is well placed at tenth with a deficit of 14:20, including a five-minute penalty.
Stage Five takes riders from Arequipa to Arica on the border with Chile over a total distance of 411 km – a liaison of 275 km and 136 km of timed special.

I ordered a Samsung 943BX LCD monitor that was a factory refurbished unit. Shipping was fast and my order was correct, however, there was some small damage to the screen.

ChristinIndianaHairDark BrownOily HairColor Treated HairLove It For TeasingOne of my fave hair spays. Great hold, decent smell, and for such a strong hold not so uh "crunchy" or hard. This is my go to when teasing my hair.posted Dec 14, 2011Link to this post
MariaHairBlondeIt's A Little Too PowerfulIt's perfect for an up-do, like if you want all-day hold, but I wouldn't recommend it for hairstyles where your hair is down because this product is very powerful and it makes hair really stiff. But if you have annoying bangs that you just want to put up and not worry about, this hairspray is really good, it really holds your hair in the position you want. However, it makes the texture of your hair extremely coarse, which I do not like.posted Jun 14, 2011Link to this post

StaceyNorth CarolinaA Real ReviewI dont see how someone can leave a negative review about a product because they are allergic to it! The point of a review is to tell how it works, not your medical conditions.
Anyways, fantastic hairspray! The scent isnt that great but what hairspray really smells great?! Totally worth the price and I highly recommend it!posted May 18, 2010Link to this post

Cracked oven door glass Edward B. • Chatsworth, CA • June 12, 2014 Appliance: KitchenAid 30" Built-in Electric Oven Self Clean Thermal Convection KEBC107KSS03 My Repair & Advice The Kitchenaid wall oven hot side glass cracked when water spilled on it. Ordered replacement glass which arrived very quickly and was expertly packaged. There are two, no, three important lessons that were learned. a. There are up to four layers of glass in an oven door. The inner glass facing the hot oven is labeled "inner", and the two nested glass panes in the interior of the door are also labeled "inner". Be sure to order the correct inner glass b. the "how to" movie shows how to unlatch a modern Kitchenaid door from the oven. It was incorrect for my oven. For my oven it required lodging small screwdriver bits into the open mechanisms. Then by closing the oven door the door latches could unhook from the wall unit. c. the "how to" movie for replacing the glass was not correct for my door. I basically had to unscrew and disassemble the whole door and all four panes to get to the cracked glass. Take measures to photograph disassembly to help with re-assembly. Also mark or photograph screw types. There are at least two different types and it is not intuitive where they should return. d. Lastly... When you clamp the inner glass panes back into place, apply sufficient screw torque to the clamping frame, else once door goes into place, the inner inner glass will slide down. The final repair looks awesome. The glass is clean and of top notch quality. Was this review helpful to you?
During self cleaning of our 15 year old whirlpool double oven the oven went out Paul B. • College Station, TX • April 21, 2014 My Repair & Advice After determining that the breaker hadn't tripped. I knew it was the thermal overload fuse that had blown because it had done the same thing several years ago. This time instead of calling a service tech, I decided to do the repair myself. I checked with a couple of local appliance repair shops for the part and no one had it in stock. I started my internet search on Amazon and found Appliance Parts Pro. I had a different part and part number because the service tech from the first repair had replaced the fuse with one that was not a Whirlpool part. AppliancePartsPros.com had the part but when checked against their compatible chart it was not compatible. I searched by the oven Model No. and the correct Whirlpool part was listed and pictured and compatible and in stock. I ordered the part late Wednesday night and the part arrived at my door by noon on Friday. Since it was Good Friday, a holiday for most people, I didn't really expect to get the part until after Easter. Installing it was easy. Pull the oven out to the wall, remove the old part, attach the new part with two small screws and attach the two wire leads. Push oven back in wall. We were able to use the oven for our Easter Sunday family dinner. Was this review helpful to you?

Front View larger SiriusConnect Sony Adapter Control a SIRIUS dock-and-play radio or universal tuner from your Sony stereo (Model SNYSC1) Item #: 607SNYSC1 7 Reviews This item is no longer available. Original Price: $59.99 Shop all Car Satellite Radio Tuners & Adapters Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Zak Billmeier The SNYSC1 adapter lets you control a SIRIUS satellite radio with your compatible Sony stereo. This adapter works with SIRIUS-ready Sony stereos, letting you control either of the following: the SC-C1 SiriusConnect universal tuner; a compatible SIRIUS portable radio, like the Sportster, Starmate, Stratus, or Stiletto, together with a SiriusConnect vehicle kit. The SNYSC1 adapter sends song text to the Sony stereo's display, and lets you browse SIRIUS channels by using your Sony stereo's controls. The adapter powers your satellite radio and includes a pass-through connection, so you can add another piece of Sony gear to your car stereo system. Warranty: 1 year. See the "Crutchfield Hands-on Research" tab for a full compatibility list. Note: A subscription to SIRIUS is also required. Satellite radio service is available only within the lower 48 states not available in Hawaii or U.S. territories. Limited service is available in Alaska.

Sirius Radio Written By ME, Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice unit to integrate control into head unit Pros: Fairly small Integrated connection to head unit Easy to hide if installation approach is not followed from manufacturer Nice that connection is direct connected instead of "tuner" connection Works well Cons: Awkward and unnecessarily oversized cables Connectors are not that robust DIN style connector between units seems a bit overkill Provided installation brackets require a fair amount of flat space somewhere User manual lacks detail
Used with my Sony radio Written By Doug, Carrolltown, PA on Sunday, April 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit easily connected with my Sony dash radio. I followed the instructions and my installation was a piece of cake. It will need to be hidden behind your dash or glove box area.
Great addition for cleaning up the clutter Written By Jim, Hilton Head Island, SC on Tuesday, August 03, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit was a key reason for upgrading my head unit to the new Sony XAV-70BT. I had my head unit, Sirius PnP Sportster, radar detector, MP3 Player and 12 disc changer. This unit allowed me to put the Sportster 5 in the glove box using the VDOC cradle and operate it through the head unit. The only con I can mention is it requires you to run a 12 volt constant power and ground to the unit. Easy to do if you have installed an aftermarket head unit, but since it has the large multi contact cable running to the head unit, it would only make sense that the power would come through that large cable. Once again the Crutchfield sales and service team were second to none. I am very, very experienced at installing complex systems and I utilize the Crutchfield Advisors many times through an install. It gives me peace of mind. If you are new to this, than Cruchfield is the only way to go. Thier tech support will talk you through anything you need and the master sheets and instructions are awesome.
great product Written By randall, Willow Grove, PA on Monday, May 18, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit works great. I have no more clutter on my dashboard. The unit is very easy to install. I may buy one for my other car.
Works great.... Written By obxjeepguy, Outer Banks, NC on Thursday, May 01, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit is very nice.. I was somewhat apprehensive at first. I originally wanted the SIR-SNY1 which was a single unit vs. two little boxes to find a place to install. (Also requires the SCC1 tuner) Once installed, I was pleased to find out that I also still retained the use of my AUX inputs thanks to the pass thru provided on this unit. Sound quality is great, and the fact that I now don't have to have the clutter of an external receiver is a big bonus. It is also quite amusing to see SIRIUS come up on the screen of my old CDX-FW700 XM ready radio....
SNY-SC1 works as described. Written By Brian, Woonsocket, RI on Monday, April 21, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product did exactly what it was suppose to do. Pros: Works flawlessly with my Sony CDX GT-710. I also purchased the Sirius SCC1. Sound quality is good. Ability to control satelite radio tuner through my head unit is as described. Install is clean / hidden away. Cons: The average DIY installer may have trouble finding a constant 12V power supply to tap into. (I was able to cut and spice into an unused cigarette lighter, and it works perfectly). Owning a wire stripping/crimping tool is almost a must for completing the install. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a way to get rid of pesky wires and suction cup mounts from your car's interior. I would recommend this product even if you would require a professional install at additional cost.

"Thankfully, Project Indiana is also Mono-free."
That's uncalled for and a foolish remark.
Phoronix: OpenSolaris Project Indiana
With much anticipation by the OpenSolaris community, last night Sun had released their first developer preview for the binary desktop distribution that we have known over the past couple of months as Project Indiana. Ian Murdock and company are optimistic for this project that will address some of the existing Solaris adoption barriers when it comes to the installation, package management, and familiarization along with revitalizing the user experience. How does this first milestone of Project Indiana, which in fact will be named OpenSolaris, rank when it comes to meeting their objectives? In this review, we have a lot of information and screenshots on this long-awaited OpenSolaris binary distribution.
"Thankfully, Project Indiana is also Mono-free."
That's uncalled for and a foolish remark.
I downloaded the ISO and wanted to try it in VirtualBox 1.5 under Ubuntu 7.10.
I choose "Solaris" as operatingsystem, gave the system 256MB of RAM and a 8GB expandable disk, mounted the ISO and started up.
The CD booted, grub started. I chose to start the 32 bit environment.
Then I saw this blue screen with the familar "dots" ...... (I think SCO used the same bootup a long time ago)
Then after a period of perhaps a minute the screen turned black and there was three lines "SunOS Release 5.11..., Copyright..., Use is subject to license terms" and after that - nothing.
The system seem to hang.
I also tried the without ACPI-option. Same result.
Anyone that has tried this in VirtualBox with success? If that's the case - with what configuration?
My processor doesn't have IntelVT-support. Would that be the issue? (For example when I tried to boot Ubuntu 7.10 server at boot-time it said I had a too old processor - after changing to kernel-generic it worked fine) My processor is a Intel(R) Celeron(R) 3.06GHz
Last edited by Niklas Andersson; 11-01-2007 at 12:03 PM.
OpenSolaris will be supported in VirtualBox v1.5.4. You could use the SVN version for now.
Has anyone been able to get a build env?
I installed Sun Studio 12 as in here
Running cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 Patch 124868-01 2007/07/12
usage: cc [ options] files. Use 'cc -flags' for details
However, it is not a full install and Netbeans fails on java.
Running prepare_system -C seems to install items, However it is via pkgadd not pkg.
If anyone can advise on a build environment please help.
Problem identified as broken pkgadd seems to work but fails resulting in core dump in /var/sadm/install bug-reported.
Will try a new cd burn but crc passed.
Burnt a new CD and reinstalled only to be greeted by the same problem.
Lacking a build environment OpenSolaris preview is still a big advance in speed and ease of install.
Now if I could get rid of:
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
SUNWspro installed from src tree seems to lack c++
Last edited by jhawk; 11-03-2007 at 02:03 AM.
Does anyone know if they have made a decision regarding the license?
I would very much like to see this under the GPLv3.

This article discusses how a human baby is conceived and how the baby develops inside the mother's womb.
See also: Gestational age
Zygote; Blastocyst; Embryo; Fetus
When sperm is deposited in the vagina, it travels through the cervix and into the Fallopian tubes.
Watch this video about:Conception - interactive tool
When a single sperm enters the mother's egg cell, the resulting cell is called a zygote. The zygote contains all of the genetic information (DNA) needed to become a baby. Half of the genetic information comes from the mother's egg and half from the father's sperm. The zygote spends the next few days traveling down the Fallopian tube and divides to form a ball of cells.
The zygote continues to divide, creating an inner group of cells with an outer shell. This stage is called a blastocyst. The inner group of cells will become the embryo, while the outer group of cells will become the membranes that nourish and protect it.
The blastocyst reaches the womb (uterus) around day 5, and implants into the uterine wall on about day 6. At this point in the mother's menstrual cycle, the lining of the uterus has grown and is ready to support a baby. The blastocyst sticks tightly to the lining, where it receives nourishment via the mother's bloodstream.
Watch this video about:Cell division
The cells of the embryo now multiply and begin to take on specific functions. This process is called differentiation. It leads to the various cell types that make up a human being (such as blood cells, kidney cells, and nerve cells).
There is rapid growth, and the baby's main external features begin to take form. It is during this critical period (most of the first trimester) that the growing baby is most susceptible to damage. The following can interfere with the baby's development:
The period of time between conception and birth during which the fetus grows and develops inside the mother's womb is called gestation. In humans, the length of pregnancy, or gestational age, is the time measured from the first day of the woman's last menstrual cycle to the current date. It is measured in weeks. Gestational age may also be called menstrual age.
If you got pregnancy using infertilty treatments called assisted reproductive technology, gestational age is determined by adding 2 weeks to the conceptional age.
The following list describes specific changes that occur in the womb:
The end of the 10th week of pregnancy marks the end of the "embryonic period" and the beginning of the "fetal period."

Walking in on a sexy teen girl naked and spread out in bed touching herself is something that most people would dream of. And for Lori and her girlfriend, that turned into the way that they can finally have some lesbian sex together! These babes took turns eating each other´s pussies and then spread their legs open for some fun lesbian scissoring.
These teen girls are always hanging out together, but this is the first time they´re testing the waters on having lesbian sex with one another. They strip partially out of each other´s schoolgirl outfits to feast on each other´s nipples before they taste their pussies. Their passionate kisses and deep fingering get each other off in a 69.
Lori and her schoolgirl friend had a whole night of studying planned for the big test. But really, you only live once, so why waste that time studying when you can have hot lesbian sex? And they´re not just playfully kissing and touching here; they´re all about making each other cum hard, as they strip naked and scissor until their pussies are dripping.

With snaps along the front edges, and velcro along the top side edges, it was very easy to put together. It fits the log rack pretty well, though the top corners don't quite line up with the top of the log rack. Overall, it's very loose. It would fit even over much longer logs than I currently have on the rack, which is a good thing.
The main problem I had with it was that there is no way to secure it to the log rack, so on a particularly windy day, it blew completely out of my yard, all the way to the other side of my neighbor's yard. I thought it was lost for good until I finally spotted it.
was so glad to see that Gardener's Supply carried this product.Ihad bought the rack somewhere else and tried to order cover at same time,but it was discontinued. This was a gift for my husband and he was very pleased with it
Best Uses
At the back door, on the patio, the firewood comes in the house dry and ready to burn. Thank you, Gardeners Supply, for selling the log carrier cover!
- Too flimsy
Best Uses
I purchased this to put over my log rack on the patio to keep the firewood dry that is used in my fire pit. Very disappointed with the the quality. Material too flimsy. Even though it had snaps on the side to keep it closed and it was anchored with bricks at the bottom, on the sides, and on the top, it just disappeared in a strong wind. I have searched the neighborhood and have not located it.
Thin, cheap material. Corners had snaps rather than velcro, several of which would not snap together. When I placed the order I mentioned to the lady who took it that the rack (4 x 8) looked a lot like one I bought from another company last year, the cover that came with it was sleazy and lasted 2 weeks! I was concerned that your rack & cover was from the same supplier. I think that it was!
I got the cover for the 4' wood rack. Works well. Keeps wood dry.
