Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
Is Romney so desperate to criticize Obama that he piles on? Shows a lack of judgment, IMHO.
and Mitt wonders why he is behind in the polls...
Yesterday Obama and Romney agreed to a political truce. No attack ads all day.
Late last night as the embassy in Cairo was under attack, but before anyone had been killed, someone in the embassy tweeted on the embassy's official twitter page that they were outraged over the movie and wished people would think before intentionally trying to hurt the feelings of Muslims as it puts them in danger. Obviously this was an attempt to quiet down the violence before anyone ended up dying.
Team Romney jumped all over it and produced a press release saying that the Obama Administration's first reaction was to apologize to Muslims rather than condemn the attack. They sent it to the press late last night (around 930pm EST) with instructions not to release it until midnight. 15 minutes later they said screw it and told the press to go ahead and release it.
As the violence got worse and 4 Americans were killed, Team Romney now looks like a bunch of callous idiots who didn't give a damn about American lives but only wanted to use the situation for political gain. They have since tried to forget about last night's press release and haven't mentioned it this morning.
Shouldn't that be "principles."
Thank God, Romney is not backing down! We need someone with the courage to stand up for our interests, even though it might go against political correctness.
Democrats will instantly start acting like the wounded victims in an attempt to get the compassion and support of the general public. Pathetic. if Democrats want respect, they should begin earning it by protecting the interests of this country, at home and abroad.
Until then, please keep snivelling comments to yourselves.
Is Romney so desperate that he's using the deaths of 4 Americans for personal political reasons? Does he think we are going to respect someone who does that?
He needs to understand that he isn't doing himself any favors with this kind of cr*p.
Romney looked shaken and uncertain. If I needed yet another reason not to vote fro him, this episode of ham-handedness sealed the deal.
Where are all the Republican officials backing up Mr. Romney- sounds like crickets in the background. This guy is soooo done.
He's pandering to the mouthbreathers in the GOP that think this is some sort of video game or 80's movie in which Chuck Norris would have swept in, killed all the terrorists and saved the day... Christ, even Joe Scarborough said this morning that the walls had not been breached nor the flag taken down when the tweet went out.
Oh, sure the REAL problem here is Romney's quickness to condemn the U.S. embassy's groveling, appeasing statement. It's not that Pres. Obama has done nothing but grovel, appease and look the other way regarding the outrages of the Muslim "street" and their thug governments -- none of THAT has made our enemies think they can stage attacks like those in Egypt and Libya and get away with them. Mitt Romney is the real problem here!
Mimi, no one will back Romney. He's the Titantic. He's Bob Dole. He's done.
8 years ago the right held the administration in a reverence little short of religious. The right lectured those who disagreed with its policies, labeled them anti-American, conflated the president with the country at large: ie, if you disagreed with the invasion of Iraq, you "hated America." Today, no one is more anti-US than the right; it uses every opportunity to say how bad things are, how wrong our direction is. Mitt Romney won't even keep a united front for the death of an ambassador; no "I join the president in condemning..." for him. He must be so desperate to make an impression that he's falling over himself, coming across as insecure and disjointed. Romney needs to take a breath and remember who he is and where he is, and not lash out unpatriotically at the elected government of the United States.
Forget about the ignorant remarks of Mr. Romney. It stinks. Let's remember Ambassador Chris Stevens - a dedicated American.
Try again, Mimi. If you check the main WSJ story on the ambassador being killed, you will find hundreds of comments that condemn Pres. Obama's handling of this outrage and share Gov. Romney's attitude.
We don't apologize for having our Embassy attacked by mobs of people we are trying to help. It should be a statement of outrage.
It seems all that this administration has done since occupying the White House has been to apologize for American Values and American successes. How about becoming proud of American Values and the aid America spreads around the world even to or enemies. We need an American Leader,not an apologist for America. If you vow to hunt down the killers, do it.
Romney reveals himself as a minor leaguer with comments like this.
Stick a fork in Mitt, he's done. The only thing his transition team will need to do is transition Mittens back to receiving 20 million a year in carried interest payments. This was his Waterloo. Even Peggy Noonan said on Fox that he should have just shut up. Martha Macallum looked like she was going to throttle Peggy.
Shameful for Mitt to attack Americans under fire
It is clear that he has never been in a fox hole with bullets whizzing over his head
Leading from behind once again, Obama shows how weak he is. How did he find time in his busy schedule to comment on the event this morning? Romney is the one showing resolve.
It was fascinating to watch the reporters question Romney using words straight from Obama's people. It sounded as though the reporters' paychecks come straight from the White House. And the plain fact is that the statement issued last night sounded like a craven apology--and loaded with irony in light of the fact that our own president has criticized people for "clinging to their guns and religion."
before it all started the embassy said they condemned the video. That's all. That doesn't apologize. it says, the guy in the US is free to do what he wants, we just don't agree with it.
If you were sitting in the embassy what would you say? Oh gosh, what a wonderful video! come and get us.
I'd like to ask Romney whether he condemns the video (I apologize if he has already been asked this). what's he going to say? That he doesn't?
In addition to not apologizing before, no one is apologizing now. And, I would expect in the next few days, you will get a sense of Obama's apology, and it will probably be written on the nose of a tomahawk missile.
Thank God for Mitt Romney, we need a true leader and we need the Media to back OFF on Romney.
I Blame most of our problems on the librial media. Obama can do no wrong. Were all in this mess because
were stuck with a loser administration and its time for a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The twitter "apology" that has Mitt so offended...
"We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others"
"Today, the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Americans honor our patriots as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions"
The Egyptians burned our flag and replaced it with an emblem of the Islamics. The US has given them billions of dollars for more years than we care to count. They contend they have "hurt feelings" from a video? Poor babies. This is a repeat of Jimmy Carter who put the US foreign policy in shambles and it was only his defeat and being replaced with Reagan that brought the hostages home. Romney is the only adult and he'll replace this utter failure of a president shortly.
I am so glad that I will never be president!
Talk about the "pot and kettle" - Romney and his backers criticize this administration for not preventing this surprise attack on foreign soil, yet they make no mention of the Bush administration's failure to protect U.S. citizens on U.S. soil even though it has come to light that an abundance of forewarning was given. Talk about a bunch of political hacks. Guess they didn't read the part that "Politics end at the water line."
is reaping the rewards of his policy.
The radical Muslim brotherhood has not yet even apologized for the attacks in Cairo. He gave them billions of our tax dollars, and his blessing. He left Libya worse off than when it was under Gaddhafi, and did so without congressional approval for an attack on them.
Both countries are worse off than they were 4 years ago...thanks Obama.
His handling of several middle eastern affairs has been less than wise.
1152, how much money did the GOP give Iraq and Afghanistan? I'll wait for your response. The partisan nature of these comments, and their utter and complete ignorance of actuality and its many nuances, is a stunning indictment of Americans' sophistication and understanding of our world. I would've expected more of WSJ readers. Election-time arrow-shooting solves nothing. Think back to Reagan's response to the Marine bombing in Beirut (withdrawal), or Clinton's in Somalia (withdrawal). The world is a tougher place than you armchair strategists imagine it is.
Somebody needs to tell Mitt: Doubling down on 22 is usually a bad bet.
Romney revealed himself as a complete opportunist. An Al Queda attack on 911 and all he can do is critize the US government.
He spent 90% of the time trying to make political points on the deaths of 4 fine Americans on the front lines. Have you no shame Romney! Is this how they teach you in Utah--to do a dance on the graves of sacrificing Americans, before they are even in their graves. How about sympathizing with the families of these honorable people and lauding their service to America rather than jumping on your stump to beat your chest.
Nothing lower than politicizing death. Stay classy, Mitt.
Gotta hand it to you. You screwballs are even sicker than I thought.
"I Blame most of our problems on the librial media."
That says it all. You're a raging ignoramus.
I believe it is time for Romney to withdraw from the race. He has acted with great dishonor in this matter.
Mitt Romney exhibiting once again that the Man from Stepford has no soul, hollow men usually don't. The best thing that Romney could do is to take a break from campaigning, grab Doorthy and Toto too and follow the yellow brick road so he cam go see the Wizard. Maybe the Wizard of Oz could give theTin Man a soul.
First and foremost, let's try to remember the dead for a second. Our thoughts should be going out to the families of Ambassador Stevens and the others. Our fellow Americans who died serving their country in their own way.
As for Mr. Romney, it is sadly ironic that on the anniversary of 9/11 he couldn't put aside politics just for a couple of days until the emergency was contained. 9/11 was a terrible day but at least it brought the country together for a short time.
I have confidence that Mr. Romney is a decent guy at heart and hope that he'll back off in the next few days. Honest mistakes happen when you make rushed decisions late at night.
America's enemies are laughing as they watch us tear at each other while the embassy grounds are literally still smoldering. Let's try to set aside the conservative and liberal labels just for a couple of days until they get Chris Stevens and the others back home to their loved ones.
Romney proves again just how minor league he is.
In politics, foreign policy criticism stops at the water's edge. Except for Mitt.
Why does the GOP base celebrate ignorance? Why do they find it attractive?
"This was an attack by a small and savage group, not the people or the government of Libya." - Secretary Clinton.
Mitt Romney and his blind followers who would exploit this tragedy are scum.
President Karzai in Afghanistan did not condemn the killings. He condemned the movie.
Egyptians scaled US embassy walls on 9-11-12 in Cairo. As a result the Al Qaida flag flew over US territory in Cairo. The US Embassy in Cairo issued an apology for the movie. The Egyptian president did NOT apologize for the attack. He called for "peaceful protest" of the movie.
Movies don't kill people. We call it freedom of speech.
It's horrible that Mr. Romney spoke before all the facts were in, especially given our troops in harms way. It's so important to be calm during a crisis. Mitt should withdrawal from election, he is not qualified. Republicans for Obama 2012.
Is your life that empty that you have to blame everything on the current administration? What have you done lately to help your fellow American (expressing your partisan opinions do not count)?
I googled white house responce to embassy breach. All that comes up is Romney's reponce to White house.
Personally I was horrified that the initial response of the Obama administration to the embassy attack was to slam freedom of speech, but not to condemn the attacks. The fact that they backpedalled later and issued a proper condemnation of the attack does not excuse this. Criticizing freedom of speech is criticizing democracy and Islamic blasphemy laws deserve nothing but our contempt.
Mitt happens!!
1251, all you had to do was go to the WashWire home page, where you had to go anyway to post here.
As for Romney, his scrapping for every crumb of political advantage is just undignified, and reinforces his image as a base and spineless panderer. He won't get my vote in a million years.
All I've heard for two years is that things are SO TERRIBLE that this election is the Republicans' to lose. Well, they just found another way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Pathetic.
if Obama's free speech had not included the immediate pandering to the radicals, Romney would not have used his free speech to rightly call him out for it ?
Again, Obama proved how radical he is....and hooray for Mitt for pointing it out.
Free speech....just like you can whine, Mitt can point.
Mitt Romney is pointing out that communication style matters when Americans are murdered by extremists. Obama and Democrats gave heart-felt, passionate speeches at the DNC convention for abortion, birth control and gay marriage, however when it comes to defending America and Israel they sound like they are deaf, dumb and mute.
If the almighty Google did not provide the answers you seek in one 6-word query, then it can't be so. Let's face it, if it were true, it would be on the internet, the last bastion of truth.
Mitt is one hell of an IDIOT...
Anyone who says Obama or anyone in the administration "apologized" for the US is being handfed partisan BS and isn't thinking - or READING - for themselves. it's very clear the Obama Administration in ANY form did NOT "make apologies" for US policies. People who are insisting otherwise are being spoonfed conservative extremist rhetoric - they don't know how to comprehend the news without someone "explaining" it to them, when in reality, those pundits are actually misinforming them purposely to vote in favor of the pro-billionaire agenda. Forgive my sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but you know i'm right. Why don't they just READ the statements???? IS IT THAT HARD?! I'm not even liberal (I vote on both sides of the aisle) and I know this Romney statement is pure partisan hackery.
Romney shoots his mouth....on his feet.
What are the standing orders of the embassy marine guards; let anyone breach the walls or repel all invaders who breach the wall? Why are there no reports of marine gunfire when US soil is invaded? It should be a standing order at all embassies in "hostile" territories - it is the commander in chiefs responsibility!
are trying to make this about Romney...it is not.
It is about Obama's shocking statement.
The current administration is making the US look like a nation of idiots. Completely embarrassing as an American. Reagan would have had a squadron of F16's loaded with real bombs striking terrorists targets the next day. And why did the marines not have loaded weapons? Why even have marines guarding the embassy? No wonder we are not trusted.

Report: Shutdown would hurt military families (April 6)
White House official: No pay during shutdown (April 6)
Attention, commissary shoppers: You may want to get a last trip in the commissary, just in case the government shuts down because if the government shuts down, so will the commissaries, according to Defense spokeswoman Air Force Maj. Monica Matoush.
Commissaries have not been included in the Defense Department's "excepted" activities that would continue to operate in the event of a shutdown, which is looking increasingly likely as the federal budget impasse on Capitol Hill drags on.
The Defense Commissary Agency has asked for a redesignation of some employees in order to keep overseas stores open, but a final decision has not been made, Matoush said.
What happens to all the meat, produce, dairy and eggs that are not bought if a shutdown happens at midnight Friday? Store officials are working on contingencies to handle that.
Commissary officials are expected to provide more information in the coming hours and days.
The shutdown will have little effect on military exchange operations, because the majority of their budgets do not rely on taxpayer dollars.
"While the federal government shuts down, business at the exchange remains largely unchanged," said Col. Virgil Williams, chief of staff for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. "However, some transactions may be delayed, such as the purchase of firearms which require background checks or other federal government actions."
Some exchange stores, such as shoppettes, sell a limited amount of groceries.

TR's Map 3 is progressing nicely, and will be here before we know it! Another map to add to the massive effort that is Tamriel Rebuilt!
Posted by HaploTR on Jun 18th, 2009
Detailing, the modding stage Map 3 is currently undergoing, is moving along at a rapid-fire pace, and it won't be long before we're ready to move on to NPC placement and dialogue, which is the last step before our beta release! Remember, Map 3 will include such marvels as Necrom, the city of the dead, Gorne, an Indoril-style gem of a settlement on an island off the eastern coast of the mainland, and of course...
Almalexia itself! The capital city of Morrowind, (surrounding the capitol of Mournhold, which is playable in TES: III Tribunal expansion) in all its glory, covers over 9 cells, with each cell jam-packed with buildings and structures and landscaping. It truly is a marvel to behold... with hundreds of interiors (and don't forget that many are multi-celled) and 9 full cells, Almalexia is sure to keep everyone busy for days, and it won't even have quests added in the beta version!
Get ready to see Morrowind as it was meant to be!

Here are some quick notes for this episode. The interview with Erin Brown also known as Misty Mundane is short, about 5 minutes, but I think anymore would have been overkill. The interview we done while at Motor City Nightmares, you can see my pics from the show at MPAD Media on Facebook. The song is "Blowtorch" by the Go! Team from their new album "The Scene Between". I talk about music subscription services and why I like Slacker best. I did see Avengers Age of Ultron and liked it. It's not as good as some other Marvel movies, but I didn't expect it to be. This weekend I will be at Motor City Comic Con and at Movement the week after.

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it on this episode of Most People Are DJs. I'm excited about new podcasts I've discovered, a new song and upcoming shows that I plan on attending. The three podcasts, all with duo hosts, that you should check into are: Buzzfeed Internet Explorer Podcast, Do you Like Prince Movies and Modern Horrors. After that, I go into a couple of the new comic book related TV shows that I have been enjoying, Daredevil on Netflix and I Zombie on CW. Both are well worth watching and I Zombie is on the bubble of renewal so if you haven't watched it yet please give it a view. I play the song "Everthing New" song by the duo No Joy on the latest CMJ mixtape. Before the episode ends I talk about all the upcoming shows and festivals I am attending over the next month, including Motor City Nightmare Apr. 24-26, Metro Times Blowout April 29-May 2, Free Comic Book Day May 2, Motor City Comic Con May 15-17, The Smiths United May 17 and Movement May 23-25. I will definitely need some rest in June!

Here's another MPAD comic-oriented episode with a review of the new teen angsty, thriller "We Can Never Go Home" by Matthew Rosenberg, Patrick Kindlon and Josh Hood. It's a fantastic comic about a misft that sees a girl display some superpowers and the relationship between that ensues. A large part of the comic is centered on a mixtape which was one of my favorite pastimes, you can rean Matthew Rosenberg's thoughts on the mixtape at Paste Magazine.
I also feature a short interview with Matthew that I did back at C2E2 2013.The little interstitial music before the interview I created using Magix Music Maker. I play the song "Entropy" by Nigel and the Dropout, a terrific local band that I saw play recently. I think their sound is a great combination of everything that is exciting about current music. I en the show with some talk about going to Megacon next week, I'm very excited to go, take photos and share stories of the con in a future episode.

I have a short episode this time around for you explaining my direction for MPAD for 2015. For those that listen to the show, it's nothing new but I am going in a direction with an emphasis on music and art that is created digitally. Mashups, webcomics, Youtube videos, photography etc. my shows will revolve around people digitally jamming. I've been using that phrase, digitally jamming (or digital jammer) the past few months but never really explained what it means. I'm taking the opportunity to explain it this episode and we'll cover it together throughout 2015. The track I play this episode is a mashup from Jzatsy "Sea of Cough" using tracks from Porter Robinson and Young the Giant, you can find and download it over at Soundcloud. You can find tons of mashups over at the mashup reddit page.
The music you heard underneath my voice is a loop I created in Music Maker. I'm going to try and do this more often as I think it makes my speaking parts a little more interesting, but hopefully not too distracting.

On this Most People Are DJs episode I close out 2014 with a rundown on things I did and saw. I think the audio is a little dicey on this one due to the way my mic was connected. 2014 was a really good year, both personally and what was coming out in podcasts, movies and TV. I attended around 30 different concerts/shows and 5 comic conventions. While 2013 may have been the year of superhero movies, 2014 was the year of superheroes on TV, yet, I found myself enjoying shows like Sleepy Hollow and Supernatural more. A lot of good movies came out from budgets both big and small. My favorite of the year was Guardians of the Galaxy but I spend more time on the episode discussing more obscure movies such as Blue Ruin and Palo Alto. I round out the podcast mentioning how much revenue I made in 2014 for all my extracurricular activities. I think you will be surprised to hear what that number is. My positive message is anyone can do it, you just need to make an effort. Then comes my plug where I suggest an easy way to start is by making sure you have your own domain and reserve it on GoDaddy for only $1.49 using my coupon code DJ149. There are 2 songs featured, "Archie, Marry Me" by ALVVAYS and "Where Does The Disco" by Yacht.

With this episode I announce a new deal with my podcast affiliate GoDaddy, you can get a .com domain for only a $1.49 with my promo code DJ149. On this 15 minute episode I talk about the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals I encountered. I also mention how was able to get a post price match deal from Amazon which I bet most people do not know they can do. There's also some other gift suggestions I give that are inexpensive ways to make your friends and family happy this Christmas. The music playing underneath my talking is a loop track I created on Music Maker. I'm thinking about doing this on a regular basis. Btw, I checked into it and you actually can get a Spotify gift card, so I just added that to my Christmas List.
The song I play is from Danish band, Blau Blume, "In Disco Days." It's a nice indie pop track with sweeping guitar and dramatic vocals. You can see there video on vimeo with this link.

On this episode I realize that the 80's are still impacting my life today. It's funny because I use to be one of those people in the 80's that looked disdainfully at my parents and others that were nostalgic about the 50's. It seemed like such a long time ago and things were so different back then, especially when it came to music. Today I find a large part of myself stuck in the 80's, expressing what a great time that was for music and TV. Have I become my parents? I'll argue that with music there is not such a difference between what is coming out today com[pared to what did come out in the 80's. Tears For Fears "Songs From the Big Chair" still has modern production and sound that many of today's pop artists try to replicate. 30 years later and it's still a great album, on the podcast I'll explain why. Another relevant 80's artist is Peter Hook, the bass player from New Order that I saw perform recently. I reviewed his show for the blog and I'm talking about it again on the show because he really gives all he has at his live shows. There are two songs featured on the episode by indie rock bands with female vocalists, the punky "You Don't Need A TV" by Argonaut and "White Noise" by Ex Cops.

One of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Penn National
Gaming Inc. ( PENN ) recently inked
a development agreement with the Jamul Indian Tribal Village to
jointly set up a casino and resort on the Tribe's trust land in San
Diego County, CA. The property is expected to cost around $360
The planned development will include a 200,000 square feet-and
three-storied gaming and entertainment facility, with at least
1,700 slot machines and 50 live table games including poker,
multiple restaurants, bars and lounges.
With a completion timeframe of approximately 24 months, the
project is anticipated to begin later this year. The project will
create significant job opportunities for the local people of that
area. Upon completion, Penn National will manage the casino and
Penn National Gaming presently operates twenty-nine facilities in
different states including Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri,
Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West
Virginia and Ontario. The latest property will further extend the
company's geographical reach.
Penn Gaming is also exploring several other developmental
opportunities as the casino-operator submitted an application fee
to construct a casino in the north end of Springfield. Another
casino operator MGM Resorts International ( MGM ) also remains
committed to developing an $800 million-worth dining, retail and
entertainment destination in Massachusetts as the demand for
gambling in the state shows great opportunity.
Penn National boasts one of the strongest balance sheets in the
industry and remains an active developer in the industry. It is the
only casino operator in the country to have launched six new
facilities over the past five years.
Penn Gaming currently retains a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Other
players in the gaming industry, which look attractive at current
levels include MGM Resorts, Bally Technologies
Inc. ( BYI
) and Multimedia Games Inc. ( MGAM ) all carrying a
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Twins say Target Field is the first major league ball park to serve beer from a vending machine.
The self-serve beer station debuted Sunday during the game against the New York Yankees. A second station is expected to be added in time for the All-Star Game next week.
To buy a brew from the vending machine, buyers prove their age at a concession stand and purchase a vending card. That card is used at the vending machine where buyers can tap up to 48 ounces every 15 minutes. The machine offers four beers: Bud, Bud Light, Shock Top Lemon Shandy and Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale.
The Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/1oejhH2 ) says that just like the concession stands, the machines stop dispensing beer by the seventh inning.

1916 50C Walking Liberty Half Dollar, Judd-1991, Formerly Judd-1798, Pollock-2056, High R.7, PR63 PCGS. Struck in the matte...Click the image to load the highest resolution version.
Important 1916 Walking Liberty Half Pattern One of Four Known Examples of Judd-19911916 50C Walking Liberty Half Dollar, Judd-1991, Formerly Judd-1798, Pollock-2056, High R.7, PR63 PCGS. Struck in the matte proof format favored by mint officials of the era, this silver-gray specimen is unmarked and best identified by a small number of short mint-made lintmarks on Liberty's skirt. Fully struck, Liberty's head and branch hand have definition uncommon to the eventual business strikes of the modified type. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
Judd-1991 is believed to be the earliest among the six varieties of pattern 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollars. The two major devices are very similar to their adopted counterparts but are somewhat smaller in scale. HALF DOLLAR is on the upper reverse instead of the reverse exergue, and E PLURIBUS UNUM is on the lower reverse instead of its usual position above the pine sapling. Unlike Judd-1992, LIBERTY is not fixed above the motto, but is distributed across the upper obverse border. No AW monogram is present.
Only four examples of Judd-1991 are presently known. These are enumerated by Saul Teichman at the website uspatterns.com. The pedigrees of the known pieces are:
1. Smithsonian.
2. Farouk?, William Mitkoff, sold to Pryor on 4/74, James Bennett Pryor Collection (Bowers and Merena, 1/96), lot 330, as PCGS PR61.
3. Farouk Palace Sale (Sotheby & Co., 2/54), part of lot 2028; Superior (10/90), lot 1889; Baltimore '93 Auction (Superior, 7/93), lot 470, as PCGS PR63.
4. Robert Marks Collection, Part II (American Auction Association, 11/72), lot 1081; Austin Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 6/74), lot 1113; Morris Evans Collection (Bowers and Merena, 8/98), lot 2101; Americana Sale (Stack's, 1/04), lot 3552. The present piece.
Since the Smithsonian example is presumably permanently impounded, only three pieces are available to collectors, a population identical to the famous 1913 Liberty Nickel. A remarkable opportunity that has dual appeal to both pattern specialists and Walking Liberty Half Dollar collectors.(#62295) (PCGS# 62295)

Okuma Cruz Saltwater Popping Rods begin with blanks constructed from a blend of carbon fiber and glass. With moderate actions for a smooth application of power when casting and fighting fish, the blanks are exceptionally small in diameter and produce incredible strength. The two-piece spigot ferrule build allows the removal of the blade from the handle assembly for easy transport while creating 1-piece rod feel. These rods strike a balance between casting distance and an angler's ability to fight and land fish effectively.
Cruz Popping Rods favor braided lines with ALPS 316-grade stainless steel double-footed guide frames with hard Zirconium inserts. Small diameter inserts quickly transition line loops from the spinning reel to straight running line for extended casting distance. The handle assemblies feature custom ALPS aluminum reel seats, EVA fore and rear grips and low-profile butt caps on medium and medium/heavy models, machined aluminum gimbal on heavy model.

text: Top Ear Review – Westone UM3X mikado April 3, 2011 Gear Reviews, IEM & Earphones 9 Today I got something from the courier. I was expecting it yes, as I have been anxiously waiting for it for about two weeks now and the sight of seeing a courier drop by my office was a refreshing change from my boss yelling at me to stop posting replies at headphiles.org (kidding). Well enough of that chat. So without further ado I present you, the Westone UM3X. The Packaging The UM3x came in a green box, not the most appealing packaging IMO (the W3 packaging looks better to me), for something marketed to the prosumer market it's unusual that the box is actually louder than the W3's. front. any idea who the artist is? back, never bothered to read what's written actually ;) Accessories the case and extra set of comply tips, stating the obvious LOL 😀 Initially i was apprehensive on the accessories included with the UM3x- a pouch, 3 pairs of complys and a wax loop, for $379 bucks I was expecting a little bit more, like at least more choices of tips, but looking at the bright side, it just means most of dollars spent on this IEM went to the IEMs themselves. And that's good. Build Quality, Design Build quality is definitely top notch, although I would have to admit that the UM3x is not much of a looker – totally unappealing with its half clear, half black shell. It's understandable though. besides, if you're a musician looking for a good set of monitors, of course the sound matters most, besides people don't go to concerts to look at your phones, they watch them to perform, so in short, who gives a shi- the Y-junction, lots of stress relief points here rugged plug, they're quite built to take a beating The cables on the other hand are impressive. Non microphonic, loads of stress relief everywhere, braided and much more rigid compared to the cables of my cx95 and cx500, although it's nice to point out that since this is supposed to be worn with wires over the ear and back of the head, the Y junction is a tad bit higher, which might be a bother to some. I personally don't have a problems with it whether I wear the cable over the back or in front. and yes most importantly, I can lie on my side with them. Fit, Comfort, Isolation Having limited experience with IEMs with this kind of configuration, I struggled at first to get it in my ear, but eventually everything worked out and behold, i was treated to the the best noise isolation i've ever experienced, i was definitely on a world of my own (and totally not hearing my sister practically yelling at me to wash the dishes haha.) comfort wise, having only been donning it a few hours, my ears are getting used to it, but it's definitely better the the cx95, cx500, and even the ie8. In fact, i think it's even possible for me to sleep with them on (like i would dare try.) Have I forgotten something? alright lets go to the Juicy Part (Sound Quality, Listening Impressions) To give an idea on this little baby that i'm dealing with, here are the specs: Frequency response: 20 Hz – 18 kHz Sensitivity: 124 dB SPL/mW Nominal impedance: 56 ohms Transducer: Three balanced armature transducers with passive three-way crossover Curiously, it shares the same specs of it's older, custom IEM brother, the ES3X. I haven't personally heard the es3x nor have any idea if it uses the same exact technology and stuff, but the um3x is half cheaper than its the ES3X, and that's a pretty good deal in my book. For this test I decided to use my laptop with foobar > asio4all with the d10 (ad8656 w/ bypass buffers) as combo dac/amp, playing FLAC and mp3s with different bitrates, with a playlist composed of different genres (female vox, jazz, rock, rap and Rnb, pop, etc) and artists. [i]Note that I'll also be using the short comply tips for this review. I plan to order the fit kit tomorrow from Westone or Ineargear and hopefully I may share more impressions with different tips as well when they arrive. [/i] From the get go it was quite positive that the UM3X requires less volume travel from my d10 to reach adequate listening volumes. Usually with my other IEMs I need to turn it up to to about the 10 to 11 o'clock position, but with the UM3X good listening volume can already be achieved at about 9 o'clock. this probably has to do with the higher sensitivity of the UM3x albeit the higher impedance and the additional power the d10 puts out with the ad8656 & bypass buffers. Bass Having had a brief listen with the W3 and the IE8 during the previous meets, I would say that the UM3X is the leanest in this department, with the IE8 having the most bass quantity. with Massive Attack's Protection the bass lacks impact, yet still retains its presence. With M-flo's Love Song, bass has a little more quantity and punch, but still not quite to the level of the IE8 or W3. On the upside the bass is still well controlled and goes pretty deep, quite evident when I played the first few minutes of Humectez La Mouture by Stars on the Lid. Mids If there's one area that shines the most with the um3x, it's definitely the mids. The vocals are simply intimate – IMO not too forward yet lush, with The Dawn's Message in a bottle and Up Dharma Down's Sana and several other tracks i played it certainly doesn't feel like the singer is yelling at you. With the SCLL track Quiet Warp the piano has more tonal weight than on my brief listen with the W3 or the IE8, in fact i think that the UM3X has the most natural sounding piano of the three. With guitars the UM3X also has the most natural sound of the three, I find the guitar crunch of the w3 may be quite fatiguing in the long run. The IE8s IMO on the other hand comes in a close 2nd, although I feel the bass quantity of the ie8 overpowers the mids a little. Overall I think the UM3X delivers the mids in such a pleasing manner without being to forward or laid back, it may be a tad neutral and less musical than the IE8 to my ears but still manages to be fun and engaging. Treble The UM3x is not a slouch on the treble either. it does lack the treble energy and sparkle of the W3, but in return makes it up for it's low sibilance and less treble roll-off, with just the right amount of decay. I actually like and prefer the amount of treble sparkle of the UM3X as much as the IE8, and from memory I think it's very close. Soundstage, Imaging, Instrument Separation, Detail Soundstage wise, this is one of the UM3X's shortcomings, in fact i would describe the soundstage like being in a small room but (a very big but) instrument separation and imaging is spectacular, definitely more than makes up for the lack of a wide soundstage. It's actually almost possible to have an accurate image of the stage, – where the frontman is along with where each instrument is placed and yet each instrument having a finer, more distinct layer. Detail wise it's not the best of the limited cans and IEMs I've tried, but the subtle details are much more prominent, like the singer breathing through the mic and minute sounds of the lips parting as the vocalist sings. Summary, Finally thoughts I think Westone Labs made another winner in the UM3X. Sure it's not as fun as the W3 (if anyone can live with the midbass hump and fatiguing highs) nor has the massive soundstage, musicality and thumping bass as the IE8, I still believe the Um3x is nice alternative to both followers and newcomers searching for a different flavor in sound. in fact it not only fills the needs of professional musicians looking for a nice set of monitors, but also to the niche of audio lovers looking fora nice laid back, polite, non fatiguing sound. In fact, if the W3, IE8 and the UM3X were laid down in front of me, i would probably still hesitate on the IE8, but will ultimately pick the UM3X. Last night i tried plugging the UM3X straight out of my sansa fuze HP and was quite impressed at how easily the fuze drove the UM3X. At about 1/3 of the volume bar my UM3X was already loud enough and it was also surprising that there was no inherent hiss, which I initially expected due to the IEM's higher sensitivity (my normal listening levels with the fuze unamped usually ranges from 40-60% of the volume turned up). Anyway, for listening impressions, straight out of the fuze HP out I found the midrange took another step forward, yet still retains the smooth midrange execution the IEM delivers, it was quite a different story with the p4 amp however, which made the midrange quite polite, which I found a little too neutral and flat already. treble wise straight out of the HP out there was a tad more treble rolloff but surprisingly had a a little more sparkle than with the p4 in the chain, I found found out that the UM3X is the least sibilant with the p4, and vice versa with the Fuze HP out. with regards to the lower end, the bass I think has a little more quantity with the p4 included in the chain, quite close actually to the d10 with rolled opamps. bass extension is more or less the same with the p4 and fuze hp out. Instrument separation, imaging and detail was also unexpectedly very good straight out of the Fuze HP out although not as refined or as layered and prominent with the D10, even with the less than average soundstage. With the p4 it was quite of a step down and sounds a bit flatter, in fact i was so impressed with how the UM3X pairs well with the Fuze with no amp in between that even with the EQ on the Fuze set to 0 it remains very musical and quite engaging as well. i think at this point it is safe to say that the Sansa Fuze > UM3X combo is a definite winner to my ears. Love sound Great review. It's cool that Westone used Comply tips with their earphones crashcourse I haven't heard umx3 yet. but if it's BA then i assume bass is just right? Ceph_752 if your a bass head better steer away from these… but dont count them out… they do produce deep bass not as prominent as the dynamic driver ones… they are good on details and mids are to die for… http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1504451545 Angel Daniel Amparo very nice review, haven't heard um3x yet, but i heard sm3 falls on the same category as having a rather neutral nature, only better, it has a wider sound stage, more 3D and has bass to boot =) is this true? haven't tried sm3 either.. Mikado They're quite similar yes and getting either one of them boils down to a matter of preference. The SM3s has the better soundstage and bass and is the more musical of the two while the UM3x has the best instrument separation and imaging i've heard from any IEM. Rodrigo IMO the Westone 3 had to much sibilance and the bass reverb was bad. The UM3X was great on the bass area, and the highs was ok, but the mids was sometimes too much to mu ears. With the Westone 4 I thought they fixed almost everything and I liked it A LOT, jus whished a little more bass impact, but overall the 4s were way better them 3s and UM3Xs. Final, imo the JH5 PRO is great as the W4s but the the bass impact I was looking for. I know the JH5s are custom IEM but Its $399.00 + Molds are the best choise to my ears. Thank You for your review headfonics Yeah the lower end customs are still in a class of their own when all said and done. My own Merlin's are very hard to beat and only the AKG K3003 seems to be able to compete. I guess the further up you go the harder it is to go back down again. Have you tried the Fischer Audio DBA02 MK2? http://www.facebook.com/jcruiz27 Jc Ruiz kudos to digital walker/hub for carrying the westone universal iem line Pingback: Westone UM3xRC (removable cable) 3-Way Universal Fit IEMs()

I have a list of markers that I want to create a polygon around (showing the area around the markers and not the markers themselves). So instead of having the poly points be the direct lat/long of the markers, I want the poly to "wrap" around the markers to show the relative area around them.
Any ideas on how I could accomplish something like this?

I'd like to make a bag/purse for my 5 yr old granddaughter. Any suggestions?
Ottobre Designs Web Site has quite a few bag/purse patterns in their free download section here. Use the yellow arrows to scroll through all the pages.
As they mostly design clothing patterns for children several of them would be suitable for your granddaughter. I really like the the PeaPod linen purse and the Bird Bag but there are several others all scaled for young girls.
Thank you!

I previously wrote a review giving this washer a 3 out of 5 stars and have completely changed my mind. I would give it 0 stars if I could, because this washer has added nothing except dollars to my electric and water bills and increased my stress. As I write this review, I am currently going on 48 minutes for a 13 minute "spin only" cycle. Unless you have a pack of kids or run a laundry business DO NOT purchase this washer. It is NOT energy efficient, it wastes water and it's useless for small loads. The problem is the "true balance" technology. Whenever there is a slight issue with load balance, the "technology" adds water to help balance the load. I have two bath sheets in the wash set on the "spin only" cycle because they are soaking wet. The spin only cycle is an estimated 13 minutes. This load is taking almost an hour because it's too small. The machine keeps adding water to balance the load. This is where the non-environmental, water wasting issues come in. The point of "spin only" is to remove the water. The addition of water to balance is not only a waste, but defeats the purpose of SPIN ONLY. This washing machine is so inconvenient that I can not risk leaving the house to run errands or walk the dog until the machine has completed a load. The machine works fine when you fill it with as much laundry as possible, but when you need to wash a small amount (e.g. towels from drying off a dog) it's enough to drive you crazy. I would not recommend this product to anyone unless you have a lot of young kids, run a daycare or hospice of sorts. I am seriously debating LG as a choice for anything because of this product.

Do not buy this washing machine
By Dukie
from Syracuse NY
Comments about LG 4.5CuFt Graphite Steel Top Load Washer:
The absolute worst purchase in my life. Does not get clothes clean, takes hours to do a load of wash because it is always UNEVEN and has to re-fill to adjust clothes. The amount of water in washer doesn't even cover the clothes. No soaking cycle, no water level choice for small or large loads. So disappointed, what a waste of money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Washer
By Joycemc
from Oklahoma, United States
Have owned the set for over a year now and not one problem. It saves on water, laundry soap, and it is so quite. It was "almost" worth what it cost! LOL!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Outstanding Performance
By Jfreeman5
from Conway, AR
I love the performance and Large Capacity that give the convenience of not having to do laundry as often. It cleans so well and the dryer with the wrinkle free w/ steam setting lets you take control of the time you want to remove a load of wrinkle free clothes. The wrinkle care setting will let you go away for up 3 hours after the clothes have finished and will tumble them and keep them wrinkle free you when you get back from what ever you are doing. I love it.
Looks good, cleans great
By GadgetGirl
from Bloomington MN
I've had this washer for over a month now and absolutely LOVE it! I was hesitant to purchase after reading some of the negative reviews, but I'm glad I went ahead with it. I love the clean lines and the front control panel...no more stretching and reaching for a dial or button to set the cycle. It cleans so much better than my old agitator model. I have hard wood floors in this new house and was amazed by how dirty my socks get. I put them in this baby and they came out white. No bleach. Just detergent. And WHITE. Truly amazing. My more delicate items come out unscathed and no more getting the straps of my tank tops wrapped around a stupid agitator. The drum is HUGE. I sometimes feel guilty for having such a small load...but then I realize it's not that small...it just looks that way in the enormous tub. I like that it senses the size of the load and adjusts the water accordingly. It's super quiet when it runs, which is great, because I don't currently have a door on my laundry room. I think the people who complain about it not cleaning well or leaving residue aren't following the instructions. You only use 2 tablespoons of detergent. Yes, TABLESPOONS. If you're like me, you might be used to dumping in half a capfull or more. Not with this machine. Read and follow the directions and I really think you'll be amazed at the performance of this machine. The only slightly negative point I have is the drum is very deep. So if you're short, like I am (5'4"), you may need a step stool to get to the bottom of the drum. I don't need it every time, but if I do a load of smaller items, like socks and underwear, I definitely need some assistance reaching the bottom. But its still completely worth it to me. I love the washer and wouldn't trade it for anything. And it's not LG's fault I'm short, so I didn't take away any stars for that. I chose to get the large capacity size for my blankets and comforters.
Does not clean clothes
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
The washer seems to work fine, but when we pull clothes out, they still smell horrible. Especially the towels for some reason. We are going to try to get LG to give us our money back since it's still under warranty and we are very unsatisfied, but I doubt they'll honor it since technically it isn't malfunctioning. And "no" I am not the only one with this problem for this washer.
Awesome washer

This washer is huge inside! Love the easy to reach front controls. Could have a few more features but has plenty so can't really complain. For the price this washer is as good (better) than a front loader!
This washer has all the bells and whistles
By Barb61

I love this washer it has all the features you need to do any loads,love the fact it thinks out the load and uses just enough water my old washer was a guessing game on how much I would need.My clothes are so much cleaner and spins the water out so well drying time is real quick.I tell everone just how much I love this machine its the BEST
Easy to operate
By DB2015
from Lyndhurst, VA, USA
Due to newer technology, clothes do not knot up as previous models did. In addition, more liquid is extracted in the spin cycle which dries the clothes much quicker.
By Lotte19
from Ohio
I have had this washer for over a month now and I absolutely love it. I love the digital buttons and readout. There are plenty of options you can use depending on the type of load. I really like that it signals the end of the wash by playing a little tune. My clothes come out really clean. It's very easy to use, just follow the instructions which are easy to read and understand.
Product works great
By Jack Magnet
from Kissimmee, FL, USA
The product works great and it is so quiet. Read directions first to load machine right and you will better understand how to operate without any problems. This product replaced a machine that was app. 10 yrs old. Best machine I ever had.

Mucolipidosis II/III (Plasma Screen)
|Disease names
|Mucolipidosis II/ I-Cell disease
Mucolipidosis IIIA/ Pseudo-Hurler Polydystrophy
|Clinical info
|Mucolipidosis II (ML II), also known as I-Cell disease, and Mucolipidosis IIIA (ML IIIA), also known as Pseudo-Hurler Polydystrophy, are lysosomal storage disorders caused by a deficiency of N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase (NAPT). ML II is associated with a more severe course including growth failure and failure to thrive, severe developmental delay, coarse facial features, skeletal anomalies and frequent upper respiratory infections. ML II is often lethal in childhood. ML IIIA is associated with a similar, but milder course with a wider spectrum of features and severity. In ML II and ML IIIA, lysosomal hydrolase enzymes are not properly targeted to the lysosome. Therefore, the enzyme activity of multiple lysosomal hydrolases is increased in plasma and other body fluids.
|The activity of 3 lysosomal hydrolases are measured in plasma. The assay uses 4-methylumbelliferyl substrates to measure the activities of total hexosaminidase, beta-glucuronidase and alpha-fucosidase. Prenatal diagnosis and carrier testing via enzyme analysis are not available.
|Associated Tests
|Molecular analysis of the gene for ML II/III (GNPTAB) is also available for identification of the causative mutation within a family, carrier status and prenatal diagnosis.
|Specimen Requirements
Enzyme activity can be measured in plasma or dried blood spots. For plasma, please send 5-10 ml of whole blood in a green top (sodium heparin) tube OR plasma can removed from spun down sample and sent frozen.
Sample Collection and Requirements
In addition, a dried blood spot or blood drawn in an EDTA tube can be used for mucolipidosis II/III molecular analysis and may be sent for DNA banking. Please indicate on the requisition if DNA should be banked for follow-up molecular testing.
Whole blood should be sent over overnight at ambient temperature. Plamsa can be removed once the sample has been drawn and sent frozen on dry ice. Do not freeze whole blood.
For a dried blood spot: When the sample has dried 3-4 hours, fold cover at score line, over sample, and tuck into flap. Samples should be placed in the mail within 24 hours of collection. Overnight shipping is preferred.
|Turnaround time
|10 days
|CPT Codes
Whole blood or plasma sample: $400
Dried Blood Spot Analysis: A 50% discount will be applied for enzyme analysis from a dried blood spot reducing the price to $200.

continued Spicer and Sorrentino teamed up with Dr. Steve Kinne to bring Clear Path to Chittenango — their first priority was launching Dogs2Vets. The program aims to pair shelter dogs with veterans who have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder or military sexual trauma, in order to train the dog as a psychiatric service dog. Studies have shown, Kinne said, that the dogs can help when the veteran is having flashbacks or about to enter into a panic attack.
The dogs are adopted from local shelters, like Wanderer's Rest, or the Humane Society's in northern New York, closer to Fort Drum. Many of the dogs abandoned in Jefferson County are left behind by soldiers.
Recent reports by the U.S. Army show the number of suicides among soldiers is 32 per day, also showing an increase in soldiers who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and military sexual trauma.
"A lot of these veterans shut down their emotions," Kinne, a retired Air Force Colonel, said. "It's all a part of surviving during war but it doesn't translate well here."
The hand-picked dogs are paired with a veteran in the program. Something that makes the program unique, Kinne said, is that the soldier then trains the dog to become certified as a service dog. The training process is as therapeutic as having a service dog, he said.
"We know how much animals can help," Kinne said. "The idea was, what if we can help dogs help vets? Many veterans, when they come back, they often start isolating themselves. The dog forces them to get out."
The year-long program will bring the veterans to Clear Path's facilities, which includes an expansive training area in the basement and miles of trails surrounding the facility.
"Over time, the dog and the veteran get to know each other so they're completely bonded," Kinne said. "That allows the dog to tell the veteran when things are changing."
