Does this replace the King Crimson Collectors' Club (KCCC)?
Rumours of the King Crimson Collectors' Club death are greatly exaggerated as it will continue for as long as there is a sufficient demand. Current plans are that all titles will, in time, be made available for downloading as part of the DGM Live library, complete with the original notes and artwork in PDF format. The moral of the story is that if you like the KCCC don't delay,
buy some today
Back to Top
What can I purchase and download?
You may purchase any of the items in the
DGM Library
Users can download the music they purchase using
or their web browser.
Back to Top
How much do downloads cost?
On average a FLAC download costs $12.95, an MP3 download costs $9.95. Price can vary depending on the size of the purchased downloads.
FLAC downloads are more expensive because the files are larger and have better audio quality. There is a cost associated with delivering large files over the internet.
DGM Live only accepts Visa and Mastercard for payment.
Back to Top
Can I use PayPal ?
There are no plans to introduce Paypal as the method of payment. Currently DGM Live only accepts Visa and Mastercard.
Back to Top
Do I need high-speed or a broadband internet connection?
A high-speed internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) is
highly recommended
for downloading library items, especially FLAC files. A two-disc library item in FLAC format can take approximately 90 minutes to download on a 1mbps connection.
Modem users will experience faster download times if they purchase MP3 versions only.
Back to Top
How long do items remain available for purchase?
There are no plans to remove items from the on-line catalog once they are posted there. New items will be posted on a regular basis. DGM reserves the right to remove an item from the catalog for technical reasons or any other reason. The DGM Live
Terms of Service
still apply, and we do not offer any guarantees about availability of service.
Back to Top
How often can I download the music I purchase?
Once you purchase music from DGM you may wait as long as you want before downloading the files. Once you begin downloading music from the DGM web site you have
72 hours
to complete the download.
You may download your purchased music files as often as needed during the
72 hour
download window.
: If you do not finish downloading your purchase in the 72 hour window you must purchase the music again in order to finish the download.
Back to Top
Why is there a download window?
There is a cost to DGM each time a file is downloaded from our servers. DGM Live is not a subscription service or a digital file storage service. These types of services require ongoing payment from users either in the form of a monthly subscription or a per-download charge.
Currently you are purchasing the rights to download music to your computer a single time. 72 hours should be adequate to achieve a complete download of purchased material.
To maximize your download efficiency we recommend utilizing
. BitTorrent usage will usually give you effective download speeds even when the DGM Live system is under heavy usage stress.
Back to Top
What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a file distribution software that utilizes peer-to-peer principles to deliver files across the internet. All DGM library purchases may be downloaded via BitTorrent.
After purchasing a show, you may click on the "Download via BitTorrent" link on the download page. This will save a small file with a ".torrent" file extension to your computer. To begin downloading your music open the .torrent file with a BitTorrent software client.
DGM recommends downloading and installing the official BitTorrent client for downloading DGM music.

What is FLAC?
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is a file format which offers
CD quality audio
. FLAC compresses standard audio files (WAV or AIFF) to half their normal size with no loss in sound quality. This is different from MP3 which is a lossy compression format. With MP3s some of the data of the original audio file is lost when the MP3 is encoded.
FLAC files are generally very large. A full CD of music (~650 megabytes) will average about 300 megabytes worth of FLAC files.
For this reason DGM recommends that only users with broadband connections to the internet (Cable modem, DSL, LAN) purchase and download FLAC files. Downloading a FLAC purchase with a conventional 56kbps modem could take 75 hours!
FLAC files
can be played
using a handful of free audio players. Generally, it is necessary to
de-compress a FLAC file
to the standard WAV or AIFF format before playing or burning to a CD.
Back to Top
What is MP3?
MP3 is a popular file format for compressed audio. The DGM Live library is available for purchase in MP3 format encoded at a minimum bit-rate of 192kbps. MP3s will play in all modern audio players for every computer platform. Most current CD players support MP3 CDs--compact discs with MP3 instead of standard audio files.
The MP3 format is the recommended purchase format for all users.
Back to Top
Are there restrictions on the music I download?
There are no technological restrictions or DRM (Digital Rights Management) applied to any of the music files downloaded from DGM Live. Users are bound by the
Terms of Service
agreement which accompanies their purchase, and all applicable copyright laws apply to the music distributed through the site.
DGM Live may succeed to the degree that its users refrain from illegally distributing the files they purchase.
Back to Top
Is there any CD cover art available?
Cover art is available for most shows in the library. It is available as part of the purchase of any library item.
Cover art is supplied in PDF (Portable Document Format). These files may be opened and printed using Adobe's
Acrobat Reader
Back to Top
What are 'Hot Tickles'?
A Hot Tickle is a featured free MP3 download of an individual song.

MP3 Questions
How do I download MP3 files?
You must first purchase a library item in MP3 format. Browse the
DGM Live library
for a show you would like to purchase. Click on the 'Download MP3' button for that show.
After you complete the purchase forms, your purchase will be listed under '
My Downloads
'. Click on 'Begin Download'.
The download screen allows you to download all of your files at once using BitTorrent. Click on 'Download via BitTorrent' to save the torrent file to your computer and start the download. Read the instructions on
how to use BitTorrent
Alternatively, you may download each song individually using your web browser. Click on 'Download' next to each file in your purchase.
: In many cases you will have to 'right-click, Save Target As...' to save your files to your computer. Many browsers begin playing MP3s immediately and do not let you save them to your computer simply by clicking on them.
Back to Top
How do I play MP3 files?
Most computers manufactured since 1999 come with software to play MP3s.
Windows computers may use
Windows Media Player
Mac OS X users may use Apple's
to play MP3s.
Here is a list of alternative media players which may be used on different platforms to play MP3s and burn them to compact disc.

: In general, you will need to de-compress FLAC files to WAV or AIFF format before playing on your computer or burning to compact disc. See
How do I decode FLAC files
: FLAC files are much larger than MP3 files. FLAC downloads are only recommended for users with broadband connections to the internet.
Back to Top
How do I play FLAC files?
There are a
limited number of programs
that will play FLAC files. In most cases, you will need to
decode FLAC files
before playing them on a computer or burning them to an audio CD. Decompressed FLAC files are identical to the original full-quality .WAV or .AIFF audio files they were created from.
There are a handful of
portable digital music players
that will play FLAC files. Apple's iPod is not one of them. Again, it is recommended that you
decode FLAC files
before playing or burning.

BitTorrent Questions
What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a file distribution program that utilizes peer-to-peer principles to move files across the internet. When a user downloads music from DGM Live using BitTorrent they are not only downloading the file from DGM's servers, they are also downloading that music from other customers who are downloading the same files at the same time.
In the process of downloading files via BitTorrent, you also upload portions of the files which you have on your computer to other DGM customers.
DGM's servers only allow registered users to connect to the BitTorrent network, and a single customer may only download from one computer at a time using BitTorrent.
Back to Top
Why should I use BitTorrent?
BitTorrent provides a fast method for DGM to deliver all files associated with a single purchase in a few steps.
In downloading FLAC or MP3 files individually there is a danger that all of the file may not transfer successfully. BitTorrent ensures that your download does not finish until you have every bit of information as it appears on DGM's servers.
BitTorrent users download their files from the main server and from other users downloading the same files. This increases the number of locations your computer can download the information it requests. In many cases this will increase the speed of your download, especially with popular files.
As you download from DGM via BitTorrent you share the pieces of your files with other users who have also purchased those files. It is not possible for other users to download any material from your computer other than the music files you have obtained from DGM.
When you close the BitTorrent software after you finish downloading you are disconnected from the BitTorrent network and no longer share the files with any other customers.
If you alter or remove the files you download from DGM you will not be able to re-connect to the DGM BitTorrent network using the same files.

BitTorrent is giving me an error saying 'Bad data from tracker'
Several issues may generate this error.
You may need to login to www.dgmlive.com from the computer you are trying to download from. Our server may not recognize your computer as being associated with your account.
You may be behind a proxy server. You must either stop using the proxy server, or have your proxy server administrator change the proxy server configuration to allow BitTorrent connections to your computer
: Windows XP machines will connect to a local network proxy server by default. Make sure this internet connectivity option is disabled on your computer while using BitTorrent with DGM Live. See our help item
How do I disable Windows proxy server detection settings
To prevent the misuse of DGM Live accounts, users may only use BitTorrent on one computer at a time. Before downloading music using BitTorrent you must log in to
and download a new .torrent file onto your new computer.
This error may also occur if the download window on your show has expired. All shows must be downloaded within 72 hours of the start of the download.
Back to Top
How do I disable Windows proxy server detection settings
From your Windows menu bar select Start > Control Panel > Internet Options. This will open your system's Internet Options window
Click on the "Connections" tab
At the bottom of the window there is a Local Area Network (Lan) Settings section. Click on the LAN Settings... button
Make sure that "Automatically Detect Settings" is
. Also, make sure that "Use a proxy server...." option is
You will need to close and re-open the BitTorrent program to take advantage of the new settings. In some situations you may need to restart your computer

BitTorrent is downloading very slowly
It may take a few seconds for a BitTorrent download to establish itself. Allow 10-15 seconds for the download to reach optimum speed as it identifies DGM's servers and any peer computers to download the files you purchased.
BitTorrent may perform slowly if you have a firewall that is preventing BitTorrent from uploading portions of the music files to other DGM Live customers. Your computer must be able to accept connections on ports 6881-6889 to participate in the BitTorrent network. Review your firewall software's manual on how to adjust its configuration.
Back to Top
BitTorrent says 'Connecting to peers' and nothing is downloading
It may take a few seconds for a BitTorrent download to begin. If the download does not start after 10-15 seconds there are several things you should check:
Has the 72-hour download window on your show expired? All files must be downloaded within 72 hours of the start of the download. Log in to
and check the download status of the show you are trying to download.
If your computer is protected by a firewall you may need to change its configuration to allow BitTorrent traffic through. BitTorrent needs to communicate on network ports 6881-6889. Review the manual for your firewall on the proper steps to change its configuration.
If you can not alter your firewall configuration then you may download each file in your purchase individually using your web browser.
If you still have time left in your download window, your firewall is configured correctly, and you still can not download your music. Please submit a report to
customer support

When I click on an MP3 link it starts playing but doesn't download
Some browsers automatically start playing MP3 files instead of downloading them to your computer. To prevent this, Windows users may right-click and choose the option 'Save target as...' or 'Save file as...' from the contextual menu.
Mac OS X users may control-click on the link and choose the 'Download linked file as...' option from the contextual menu.
Then, select the location on your computer where you'd like to save the file.

I downloaded my FLAC files but they won't play
How to Play FLAC Files
Back to Top
There are brief pauses between the tracks I downloaded
Many music jukebox softwares (e.g. Windows Media Player, iTunes) have a brief pause between each track when they are played in succession.
This pause can be removed by enabling the 'cross-fade' playback feature in each software. Here are directions for Windows Media Player and Apple's iTunes:
Windows Media Player (WMP)
In your WMP toolbar go to View > Enhancements and select Crossfading and Auto Volume Leveling.
(If the toolbar is not present in the WMP window, click on the inverted arrow in the upper right-hand corder of the window)
A new window pane will appear with links to toggle Auto Volume Leveling and Crossfading on or off.
Make sure Crossfading is ON
A sliding level bar will come into focus make sure that the lever is all the way to the left on the bar and that the text beneath it reads "0.0 seconds of overlap"
You're done! If this does not remedy the playback problem you should contact
Customer Support
In the iTunes toolbar go to iTunes > Preferences
When the preference window appears select "Audio" from the toolbar
Check the "Crossfade Playback" checkbox and make sure that the lever is all the way to the left so that there are 0 seconds of crossfade in your audio playback.
You're done! If this does not remedy the playback problem you should contact

A different kind of sparkle…
by Recent News
In preparation of the holiday shopping rush, Disney has been adding elaborate decor to several shops. We took great delight in this twist on the concept of a "shimmering Cinderella castle" as expressed in a tower of light-up toys in the Emporium:
Seasonal merchandise has also made its way into the parks, with advent calendars pre-packed with candy and holiday-themed mouse ears.
Got a far away friend who needs a little holiday cheer? For $29.95 you can purchase a small Disney-themed mini-tree which comes with decoration ready to ship. It comes in a festive sealed tube with space for an address and a spot to attach postage. Visit the Confectionery on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom to pick one up or contact Disney Mail Order services to have one delivered.
For those looking for a unique adult gift, there's always the Mickey Mouse nutcracker. It sells for $350 and can be found at stores such as Epcot's Mouse Gear.

Crossing New Mexico on a dr350
View Single Post
Beastly Adventurer
Joined: Oct 2004
Location: Texas
Oddometer: 8,517
Shortly after we passed the hunter's cabin, we found that our trail once again ended at private property. The map showed the trail continuing to our destination but we weren't in a hurry to get there, so we backtracked again to a more frequently travelled fire road. At this point, Andy switched to reserve...apparently, he had been riding like an ass the previous day and limited his range to about 110 miles+ reserve (what were they thinking with that little tank??). My map showed that our only option to the north was San Miguel...approx 30 miles. There had been some discussion earlier about the availability of fuel there...fortunately, we took a straight shot to the pavement and south for fuel. Andy's tank ran dry about 10 miles shy of our station. Luckily, I still had my 1 litre "auxiliary" tank on my handlebars. That got us there. It was later confirmed that there was no fuel in San Miguel....would have been sol.
After fueling, we headed back into the national forest.
Andy in motion
Andy...our road back toward Ojo can be seen in the valley behind Andy
As we neared Ojo Caliente, thoughts of hotsprings and prepared meals motivated us to try a "short cut" across a washed out piece of ranch land. The riding was great, although a bit sandy for the klx, until we came to this damn gate.
Andy walked down the hill to the ranch house and asked the nice lady if there was a way through (so we wouldn't have to backtrack through the sand)...She showed us the "old drive" which was a 60* rock hill sliding into the back yard. Andy dumped his bike...again but we made it down and out to the main road. As we rolled into Ojo, the rain closed in again
After dinner, the sky opened up in a torrential downpour. There is nothing like soaking in the hotsprings (outdoor), at night, in the pouring rain, after 8 days of dirtbiking.
The next morning, we said our goodbyes over breakfast and I headed out early. I chose a slightly different route on the return trip, hoping to avoid the pavement stretch on I25. As I switched county roads near Punta de Agua, I remembered a ruin marker on my map. Just outside of town was this pueblo church...it is the most complete existing example of pueblo architecture. Tribes settled in this area around 1200ce--I believe the church was constructed between 1300-1500. The massive walls and stone floor provide a welcome escape from the heat. The temperature difference was amazing when I stepped inside....nice and cool.
The altar would be opposite the entrance, straight ahead
I spent the next two days dogding storms, working my way back south to Ruidoso
Outrunning a storm
And rode back through the dome wilderness area
I made it back to the cabin without incident...ahh, the cabin
When I returned to the cabin, I thought I would have satisfied my riding itch for a while..not so. I could have left again the next morning. My bike performed flawlessly and I had zero "getoffs". The trip totalled about 1350 miles. I have a new respect for these guys like StrikingViking who spend their time and energy writing these reports. Thanks for the motivation guys

The first two autopsies released on the five victims found slain in Fero's Bar and Grill in October reveal a bloody slaughter in which one victim was stabbed 21 times.
The autopsy report of Daria Pohl, 21, indicates that she was stabbed 21 times Oct. 17, including seven times in the chest, three times in the abdomen and eight times in the back.
Forty-four-year-old Kellene Fallon's autopsy indicates she was stabbed 14 times, including four times in the face, twice in the chest and five times in the abdomen.
"It was pretty horrific," said Michelle Weiss-Samaras, spokesperson for the Denver coroner's office.
Weiss-Samaras said all five people killed in Fero's Bar and Grill were stabbed multiple times.
Also killed the same morning in the bar at 351 S. Colorado Blvd. were Young Suk Fero, 63, Ross Richter, 29, and Tereasa Beesley, 45. The victims were discovered after firefighters responded to put out a blaze in the bar.
Pohl and Fallon each had burns on their bodies, but tests revealed that their bodies were burned after death, according to Weiss-Samaras. The autopsies also revealed that both women were beaten; they each had bruises and abrasions on their bodies.
Dexter Lewis, 22, Joseph Hill, 27, and his brother, Lynell Hill, 24, have been charged with murder, robbery and arson in the cases. Police say the crime was initially a robbery. According to the charging document, the three were armed with a knife and a gun.

Fitts Named Ray Guy Award Candidate
Aug. 30, 2000
University of Illinois football punter Steve Fitts has been named as a candidate for the 2000 Ray Guy Award, as announced by the Greater Augusta Sports Council.
The Ray Guy Award, which honors the nation's top collegiate punter, announced its preliminary list of 32 candidates Tuesday afternoon. Fitts, who has led the Illini's nationally ranked special teams unit for the past two years, becomes part of the inaugural class for the award named for one of the greatest punters of all time. Guy attended the University of Southern Mississippi and then was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the first round of the 1973 NFL draft.
Fitts was named an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection in 1999 after averaging 42.3 yards per punt and tallying over 2,700 yards. He placed 15 of his 65 punts inside the 20 yardline and avoided a block in those attempts. Fitts ranks first on the Illinois' all-time average list and eighth for career punts and yards.
The Greater Augusta Sports Council will present the Ray Guy Award in December at a combined awards dinner with the Greater Augusta Medal For Excellence in Sports Awards for high school students.

Student Design: Mithos Electro Magnetic Concept [video]
Today's design students are tomorrow automotive designers. It is well worth taking note at what they produce considering the future impact they could have on the industry we love so much. On this ocassion we present to you a creation by graduate Tiago Miguel Inácio who has created this intriguing Mithos Electromagnetic Vehicle Concept.
It was originally created in 2006 when Tiago was studying Industrial Design, it has since been updated with this superb animated teaser video which took around 3 months to make. Tim Burton's Batmobile and several of the latest cars and prototypes are listed as the inspirations for the imaginative project.
Let us know what you think of the model in the comments below

Looks like a concept from the 90s.

I like very much. Very innovative, and fun to watch. I like Maglev trains, so I gotta like this :) Good job!
Jan 29, 2012 4:45 pm
Well, at least it does not look like they blatantly tried to just create a futuristic Alfa 8C...

A electromagnetic vehicle in the 22nd century with rotors and calipers? Hmmm? What about the electrical motor theory of dynamic braking?

When you initially unlock Illustrious training the recipe for Embersilk bolts will already be gray to you. This recipe is learned at 425 and is no longer useful by 450. Old recipes that can be used are the Glacial Bag and the Ebonweave/Moonshroud/Spellweave Robes, which are yellow at 450 and change to green at 455. I don't know that I would actually use these myself, but you can if you don't mind crafting something that may not sell.
Most of what you'll make through 500 skill is green (uncommon) quality gear. After that the only options are blue (rare) quality PVP gear. If you have the ability to collect some volatile water or fire before you start crafting, you can add better items to your repertoire. I noticed that there are a pretty good variety of items that give multiple skill points. They require more materials of course, but you would end up with something worth selling by going that route. For instance, one of the first recipes you get at 450 is the Enchanted Spellthread, which uses the same number of bolts as the green items and gives 3 skill points instead of 1. The downside is that it also uses 6 volatile fire, so it's not exactly cheap either. This is the sort of choice you'll be making on all of the various multi-point recipes. It's usually not a matter of just higher components, but higher components + uncommon components.
A couple of other things you should know about leveling Tailoring. Recipes that give multiple skill points only do so while the recipe is orange to you. Once it changes to yellow, the multi-point feature is gone. So if you're going to use it, use it. Also, the self buff recipes will all be gray when you learn them. I don't remember how this was for WotLK, but you won't be able to get any freebie points by enchanting your own duds in Cataclysm.
Here's my suggested recipe progression to reach 525 Tailoring:
450-455: Deathsilk Belt or Deathsilk Bracers | 10 bolts of embersilk
455-460: Deathsilk Shoulders or Deathsilk Boots | 15 bolts of embersilk
460-465: Deathsilk Leggings | 15 bolts of embersilk
465-470: Deathsilk Cowl or Ghostly Spellthread | 15 bolts of embersilk or 9 bolts of embersilk + 18 volatile water
470-475: Spiritmend Bracers or Spiritmend Belt | 20 bolts of embersilk
475-480: Spiritmend Boots | 20 bolts of embersilk
480-485: Spiritmend Gloves or Spiritmend Leggings | 20 bolts of embersilk
485-500: Spiritmend Robe | 90 bolts of embersilk
500-505: Emberfire Bracers or Fireweave Bracers | 30 bolts of embersilk + 20 vol.fire + 20 vol.water or 30 bolts of embersilk + 15 vol.fire + 15 vol.air
505-510: Emberfire Shoulders | 30 bolts of embersilk + 15 vol.water + 15 vol.fire
510-515: Emberfire Belt(2) + Fireweave Belt(1) | 26 bolts of embersilk + 11 vol.fire + 8 vol.water + 3 vol.air
515-521: Emberfire Gloves or Fireweave Boots | 30 bolts of embersilk + 12 vol.water + 12 vol.fire
521-525: Emberfire Boots or Fireweave Gloves | 40 bolts of embersilk + 16 vol.water/air + 16 vol.fire
Currently the Emberfire Belt at 510 is giving 2 skill points, while the Fireweave Belt gives only 1 skill point, so I went with 2 Emberfire and 1 Fireweave Belt. This may be a bug, so be prepared to make five belts at this stage if necessary. The same issue is involved at 515 where both new recipes were giving 2 skill points. I made three items and got 6 skill points, which cut the next step down to four items instead of five. Again, not sure if this is a bug, so be prepared to make five of each of these items.
Something you might be willing to substitute in are the various bag recipes you'll learn. Crafting the new bags will get you 5 skill points, so if you have the materials it may be worth it to you. I didn't include them here because you'd have to use another profession to get those extra components. You can also use the Dreamcloth recipes for extra skill points between 500 and 525, they all remain orange until 525. I believe they are on a 1-week cooldown, but you could make each of the six while you're leveling up. You don't get multiple skill points for those recipes.
Final Tally for materials used:
346 bolts of embersilk
69 volatile fire
3-34 volatile air
35-71 volatile water
If the multi skill recipes at 510 and 515 are fixed it would add 34 bolts of embersilk, 16 volatile fire, 8-12 volatile water and 12-16 volatile air to the list.
Also, Tailoring recipes were just added to the site. You can click any of the recipe links above to reach it :)

West Valley school taking week to fight bullying
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Heritage Elementary School at 125th Avenue and Glendale is spending the entire week helping students understand bullying and how to prevent it.
Classroom doors are decorated with anti-bullying messages. Students have been writing down how they've been affected by bullies. Hundreds of kids at the school are wore orange -- the color of the national anti-bullying moment -- locked arms and recited the schools anti-bullying pledge on Wednesday.
Mariah Monroe, an eighth grader, said she has been the victim of social media bullying.
"It hurts inside but you just have to remember that people love you," she said.
While the school is doing its best to teach kids about bullying, it said parents need to do their part as well.
"Talk to your child," said Heritage Elementary Vie Principal Alicia Perez. "Ask how their day was. That's the key."
Perez said the school has a no-tolerance policy when it comes to bullies. The policy has led to interventions with parents because some cases of bullying have started with the student's home life.
Bullying -- both online and in person-- has become a major challenge for schools nationwide.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I was doing some web surfing last night and saw an announcement that SuSE 9.3
is coming out in mid-April. It will have KDE 3.4 and Open Office 2.0.
That got me to wondering about Debian. If a Debian user keeps using apt-get
update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade, will he or she eventually go from KDE 3.3
to 3.4, and from OO 1.1.2 to 2.0?
If that's the case, then it seems to me that the non-geek simple desktop user
has a very good reason to use Debian.
I'm not advocating that people use Debian, but just pointing out that there
might be good reasons for non-technical users to think about it. But I don't
know the answer to the question I asked above.

What can you say that could even describe what a great printer this is? I've gone through quite a bit of printers in my life and have never seen something that works so well and still doesn't sound like a train is coming! Yes, this printer is no where near as loud of some of the printers I have had and I am very impressed! It prints so fast you hardly have time to blink! I'm so use to waiting hours to print out 50 pages but this does it so fast you hardly have any down time at all!
Gives faster prints and the print quality is really nice. The cost per-page is very low, and you will find a plenty of support options. The only drawback is the price. You have to pay SOMETHING for this printer, though you get the return in the long run. The HP LaserJet P3005 is a good mono laser printer for small business owners, but the price might bother.
If you are looking for a printer that won't let you down. This would be it. Yes, it is a bit noisier than other brands and it is also a bit slower, but it works, it works every time i hit print, and it keeps on working. I have had no issues on paper jams. A big time saver for me.
I have had bad experience with some HP printers in the past. But this one was better than expected. With the first page out in less than 9 seconds, this black-and-white laser is quick when you need it. I spent less time reloading paper and more time on task with this printers large paper capacity. The integrated networking and easy connectivity made this printer is ideal for shared environments. I experienced simple printer and supplies management. This printer comes with a 100-sheet multipurpose tray so you can print on virtually any type of paper.
I don't need any of the fancy scan or fax features. I just need to print, and a lot of it. This HP has been a great solution. When I first got this I printed non-stop and replaced a toner and kept printing. I thought it would melt from the heat, but it kept on working. It's very fast, and the high yield 13,000 black toner is cheaper than some of the other models. Would definitely recommend this printer if that's all you're looking to do.

Customer Reviews of Car Music Audio Cassette Tape Adapter Converter For MP3 iPod NANO CD iPhone
Item doesn't work11/19/2012
Previous adapter wore out, so I decided to try a different one (since my original wasn't that great). This one got decent reviews, so I tried it. Came in the mail, but immediately wouldn't work. My car's tape deck would spit it back out. I manually tried to turn the mechanisms and could tell it was sticking. I could also see inside a piece that would fall out of place. I tried to adjust it and loosen it, but still no go. Wouldn't recommend it.
Great. Worth the price. Working fine.

Battery options for 2012 GSA with ABS and ESA

Well the whole Shorai thing was a bust, I believe if you live in a warm climate or do not ride in the winter they will work fine, but I live up north and ride year 'round and it just wasn't happening, I didn't like having to let the battery warm up and then still get mediocre performance.
I went with the PC535 like dsy did, yea, it took a small amount of finagling but it is what I consider the best solution for me and my riding style, and I know I have talked this to death in several threads and others have told me it could be done but until I saw dsy's pic, (I tend to run on the skeptical side) I wasn't convinced, but yes, the 535 is a very good option for the GSA's with ESA.
Anywho, thanks to all for your input.

Pizza Crust
Hi Everyone,
Finally finished my WFO and it looks great. Have been making pizza with good success, but can't get the crust to rise enough. Use a New York pizza dough with cold rise. Confident in the recipe, but can't figure it out. Oven is certainly hot enough. 700+ on the floor. Use Caputo 00. Any suggestions.
Thank You,
Re: Pizza Crust
Could you divulge the recipe, so we could also be confident in it?:) What are your doughball size and target diameter?
Are you looking for a puffier rim? Assuming the dough is properly fermented, start with a bigger dough ball and don't press it out all the way to the edge (leave about an inch of unworked dough) and stretch to finished size. Confine the sauce & toppings to the thin area and the rim should inflate nicely. (You're not rolling it, are you?)
I run closer to 800 degrees with Caputo stretched thin, with good flames, to get that sub-sixty-second bake. Mmmmm...

The government is committed to implementing social protection programmes to help curb poverty and achieve economic development as per the second Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS2).
These remarks were made by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry of Local Government, Vincent Munyeshyaka, while closing an international conference on social protection that sought best practices in implementing social protection programmes, to improve livelihoods of people living below the poverty line.
The PS said poverty reduction was a critical aspect in achieving EDPRS2 goals as it is an important indicator of economic progress.
He noted that the country had made significant strides in poverty reduction during the EDPRS1.
"During the five years of EDPRS1 implementation (2007-2012), we registered about 8.5 per cent economic growth, hence lifting a significant number of people (1 million) from poverty," Munyeshyaka said.
He said for the population below the poverty line to emerge out of poverty, there is need to have homegrown solutions geared toward poverty eradication.
Munyeshyaka said the knowledge on social protection and poverty reduction would assist in renewing the 'graduation agenda'.
"We reiterate our commitment to eradicating extreme poverty in the country and protecting people from vulnerability," he said.
Rwanda has been emplementing social protection programmes since the first economic development and poverty reduction strategy with Vision 2020 Umurenge programme being one of the major flagships. Statistics indicate that prior to the implementation of the programme, over half of the families were homeless but thanks to the programme, the ratio has significantly reduced to one in five.
The programme also played a positive role in improving child wellbeing and quality of care due to livelihood improvement.
Speaking on the sidelines of the conference, senior development specialist of Irish Aid, a development partner in social protection, Earnan Cleirigh, said the programmes implemented should help improve the society's abilities to resist economic shocks as well as have monitoring systems to foresee the shocks.
He added that the programmes require strong political commitment and concerted efforts involving development partners.

The Wizard Of Oz is important to us in Kansas, so I was interested in this new movie called "Oz, The Great And Powerful." Were they gonna mess with the classic story? Rewrite it in any way? This all concerned me. I am very protective of Dorothy, Toto and the Munchins, of course.
I was relieved to find out that it's a pre-quel to the original movie.
This new movie tells the story of Oscar (James Franco), a magician who is hurled from Kansas to the Land Of Oz. As Dorothy was in 'The Wizard of Oz', Oscar is greeted by a kind and beautiful witch, Theodora (played by Mila Kunis), who is immediately spellbound by the possibility that he could very well be the great and wonderful wizard that an ancient prophecy had foretold. And, like Dorothy, Oscar is joined on his adventure by two unlikely companions – a flying monkey (Zach Braff) and an all-porcelain China Girl (Joey King). Along the way, there will be flying baboons, singing and dancing Munchkins, poisonous-scented poppy fields, and floating magic bubbles.
Thought I would throw up the trailer so you could get a sense of whether you want to go see it or not.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — A Somali boy, Isaq Abdi, works 15-hour days with a Somali woman who sells the narcotic leaf khat. Abdi tends the kiosk and delivers the stimulant to customers. At day's end, the homeless boy receives a handful of chewed sticks that he rebundles and sells to Mogadishu's poor, earning less than a $1.
RELATED: Somali Twins Jailed For 3 Years For Terror Funding
Children in Somalia have long suffered from poverty and war. Very few are lucky enough to go to school.
Watch a documentary on Somalia's child soldiers here:
Last week, Somali leaders approved a provisional constitution that greatly expands the rights afforded to children. It bars child labor and protects children from neglect and abuse. It outlaws the use of child soldiers and bans child marriage. Despite good intentions, most of the new rights will remain distant dreams for Somali children like 10-year-old Abdi.

First, I feel that the Chipman Street murders were probably more class motivated than race. If Christopher and Channon were inner-city dwelling, using and/or selling drugs, [or] prostituting, the perps probably wouldn't have given them a second glance. The crimes also wouldn't have caught the attention of the media and suburban Knoxville if the above scenario were true.
Also, I couldn't agree with Jack Neely in "The Littering Exemption" more. Often when I'm sitting at a traffic light and I see a smoker throw his/her butt out of the car window I'm tempted to get out, run up to their car and throw the smoking butt back in!

Butt Out
The Knoxville Environmental group SPEAK (Students Promoting Environmental Action in Knoxville) conducts every so often an activity called "Friends of the Fort" in which UT students join forces with other Fort Sanders residents to scour the streets and put a dent in the overwhelming trash problem in the predominantly student-occupied neighborhood. I was drawn to this event one Sunday morning last fall not by the prospect of a cleaner neighborhood but by the promise of free food after the work was done. After being assigned to the coveted "cigarette butt patrol" position I quickly realized that picking up a city block's worth of extinguished cigarettes was going to be a lofty task, both emotionally and physically.
People do not realize that 95 percent of cigarette filters are made of
cellulose acetate (a plastic). It is incredibly difficult for this substance to decay. The life of a cigarette from extinguishment to decomposition can be up to 12 years. Some may argue, "At least it decomposes!" With that mentality the number of butts that will accumulate in that 12-year period will be staggering. Needless to say, a "Friends of the Fort" cleanup in 2018 would be an unimaginable cigarette butt nightmare.
Perhaps I should have derived some amount of pride by picking up decade old relics of the past. "This cigarette butt here is from 1998, wow!" On the contrary, I was quite disgusted by the whole experience. Four garbage bags later and 20 pounds of butts on my shoulder, I thought I had done something good for the neighborhood, and maybe I had. But as soon as I turned the next street corner I was overwhelmed by another wave of abandoned butts at which time the task seemed futile.
Cleaning Fort Sanders of its cigarette butt accumulation problems is not futile. In fact, it can be as easy as tossing your butt into the nearest garbage can or empty beer bottle. For smokers who feel this request is encroaching on their right to smoke: Smoke on. Heck, I'll join you for one. However, you won't see me throw a butt on the ground again, and I sure don't want to have to pick up yours when you do.

As 1642 began, divisions between Parliament and King Charles I were beginning to harden, and allegiances being declared. The navy declared itself in support of the Parliamentary cause, and remained loyal to Parliament throughout the First English Civil War, until a section mutinied in resentment against what they saw as the excessive radicalism of Parliamentary policy in the Naval Revolt of 1648.

JEFF: @ "vOTE#1.COM" on the "Legends" list!
SEVERAL Toto listeners nominated Jeff for the "Best All Time Rock Drummer" and
were ignored
So...myself and a couple other brave souls decided we weren't taking "no" for an answer and now Jeffrey's listed with Bonzo, Cozy Powell and Keith Moon in the "Best Rock Drummer of All Time (LEGEND)" poll.
Simon Phillips, Phil Collins, Neal Peart, and many others are in the 'current' "All Time" list.
I've already voted today.
Here's the deal.
1. One "LEGEND" bumped off the poll every TWO (2) weeks.
2. One "Current" bumped from the list every WEEK.
It took an Act of Congress to even get Jeffrey mentioned on the list.
I was told, "We are well aware of who Jeff Porcaro was...."
I was also told that a "combined vote" would be considered.
This ticked me off because Phillips and Porcaro are totally different Animals stylistically...and they should be listed seperately on any subjective poll.
Two tries, and the guys who run the website GOT IT RIGHT.
Jeff's kids can vote for their Dad now. (I've sent the link to Miles and Jeff's nephew Chase) and also to a few others directly associated with Jeff.
Bonzo is in the lead, which is kind of appropriate, as he was one of Jeff's biggest influences when it came to the 1/2 time groove for "Rosanna"; but there was a lot of Bonham's attitude wrapped up in a small-framed Italian kid who changed the face of music with his playing.
Vote....but let's not stuff the ballot box, gang.
Let's see just how long we can keep Jeff's name on the "Legends" list.
If he gets bumped; oh well....he's THERE and that's what counted with me.
I was doing this as a nod to the fellow's influence on my overall musicianship-not just my beginning drum chops. Also, to give his kids a chance to vote.
Several of those touched by the Gift he had; weren't about to let him be ignored again.
In that, we succeeded.
VOTE y'all.

text: Photos show the cultural difference between Black Hat and Defcon hacker events August 7, 2011 11:56 AM | Dean Takahashi Thousands of security professionals, hackers, federal agents and media descended on Las Vegas this week to attend the Black Hat and Defcon conferences. The two conferences exhibit the extremes of hacker and security culture, with federal agents and major corporations descending on Black Hat in large numbers and mohawk-styled hackers and Electronic Frontier Foundation lawyers attending Defcon. It's like the difference between law enforcement and pranksterism, where both have the object of protecting freedom.

Treasuries Decline as Stocks Rally on Earnings
July 19 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury 10-year yields were within six basis points of a record low before a government report that economists said will show claims for jobless benefits rose last week, underpinning demand for the safest assets.
Yields on 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities were four basis points from the least ever before the U.S. sells $15 billion of the notes today. Two-year note yields dropped to the lowest level since January as Morgan Stanley, the sixth-biggest U.S. bank, reported a 50 percent drop in earnings and after Spanish borrowing costs increased at a debt sale.
"There's a supportive environment for Treasuries," said Vincent Chaigneau, global head of interest-rate strategy at Societe Generale SA in Paris. "We also have a global economic slowdown, the situation in Europe remains very difficult and there are still many risks around."
The benchmark 10-year yield was little changed at 1.49 percent at 7:26 a.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 1.75 percent note due in May 2022 traded at 102 10/32. The yield fell to a record 1.4387 percent on June 1.
Two-year yields declined one basis point to 0.21, the lowest level since Jan. 31.
Applications for jobless benefits increased to 365,000 in the week ended July 14 from 350,000 the previous week, according to a Bloomberg News survey before the Labor Department report.
Economists say other figures today will show sales of existing homes rose, an index of leading economic indicators fell, and manufacturing in the Philadelphia area shrank, according to separate Bloomberg surveys.
Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley's second-quarter profit declined to $591 million from $1.19 billion a year earlier, the New York-based company said today. Excluding accounting adjustments tied to the company's own credit spreads, profit was 16 cents a share, below the 29 cent average estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Spain sold five-year notes at an average yield of 6.46 percent, up from 6.07 percent at the previous auction on June 21. Investors bid for 2.06 times the number of securities allotted, versus 3.44 last month. The nation also sold two- and seven-year debt.
U.S. TIPS yielded negative 0.65 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The difference between the inflation-protected yield and the benchmark rate, a gauge of trader expectations for consumer prices, was 2.08 percentage points.
Inflation Outlook
"People think inflation will be around 2 percent in the long term, lending some support to TIPS," said Tomohisa Fujiki, a strategist at BNP Paribas Securities Japan Ltd. in Tokyo. "It's natural that yields on TIPS are negative because all Treasury yields are falling." BNP's U.S. unit is one of the 21 primary dealers that trade directly with the Fed.
U.S. inflation-protected notes pay interest on a principal amount that increases at the same rate as the Labor Department's consumer price index.
TIPS have handed investors a 5.9 percent return this year through yesterday, compared with a 2.7 percent gain for conventional Treasuries, according to indexes compiled by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
The previous 10-year TIPS sale on May 17 drew a record low auction yield of negative 0.391 percent. Investors bid for 3.01 times the amount of debt offered, the most since April 2010. Indirect bidders, which include foreign central banks, bought 50.7 percent, the highest level since November 2010.
Break-Even Rate
The five-year, five-year forward break-even rate, a measure of inflation expectations that the Fed uses to help guide monetary policy, was 2.4 percent as of July 16. The figure compares with 2012's high of 2.78 percentage points and the average of 2.75 percent for the past decade.
U.S. consumer prices rose 1.7 percent in June from the year before, the Labor Department reported on July 17. A Bloomberg survey of economists projected 1.6 percent, which would have been the lowest level in 17 months.
The Fed is swapping short-term Treasuries in its holdings for longer maturities to put downward pressure on long-term borrowing costs. The central bank plans to buy as much as $2 billion of bonds due from February 2036 to May 2042 today as part of the plan, according to the Fed Bank of New York website.
Treasury 10-year yields may fall to a record 1.25 percent in the next several months as the U.S. economy struggles to grow, said Marc Fovinci, head of fixed income at Ferguson Wellman Capital Management Inc. in Portland, Oregon, which has $3.1 billion in assets.
"Our economy certainly isn't moving anywhere fast," Fovinci said. "That's going to keep a flight-to-quality bid."
The U.S. will announce today the sizes of three auctions due next week. It will sell $35 billion of two-year notes, the same amount of five-year securities and $29 billion of seven-year debt over three days starting July 24, according to Wrightson ICAP LLC, an economic advisory company in Jersey City, New Jersey.
