The decision of the Authority follows:
19 FLRA No. 1 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Respondent and AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, LOCAL 2747, AFL-CIO Charging Party Case No. 2-CA-20217 The Administrative Law Judge issued the attached Decision in the above-entitled proceeding, finding that the Respondent, Department of Transportation, had engaged in the unfair labor practices alleged in the complaint and recommending that it be ordered to cease and desist therefrom and take certain affirmative action. Thereafter, the Department of Transportation filed exceptions to the Judge's Decision and an accompanying brief. Pursuant to section 2423.29 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations and section 7118 of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute), the Authority has reviewed the rulings of the Judge made at the hearing and finds that no prejudicial error was committed. The rulings are hereby affirmed. Upon consideration of the Judge's Decision and the entire record, the Authority hereby adopts the Judge's findings, conclusions and recommendations only to the extent consistent herewith. The Judge concluded that the Department of Transportation violated section 7116(a)(1) and (5) of the Statute when it prevented the Third Coast Guard District from bargaining with the American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2747, AFL-CIO, the exclusive representative of a unit of employees at the Third Coast Guard District, concerning the substance of a proposed change in paycheck and savings bond distribution. Subsequent to the issuance of the Judge's Decision in this case, the Authority issued its decision in Federal Employees Metal Trades Council, AFL-CIO and Department of the Navy, Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, California, 16 FLRA No. 88 (1984), petition for review filed, No. 85-7039 (9th Cir. Jan. 22, 1985), wherein it found that the process which an agency adopts to fulfill its payroll obligation so as to ensure the continued, uninterrupted operation of the agency constitutes a support operation without which the agency's mission could not be accomplished. Thus, the Authority found that mission-related matters which fall within the meaning of "performing work" under section 7106(b)(1) include support functions which are integrally related to the agency's mission. In Federal Employees Metal Trades Council, the Authority found a proposal pertaining to the method of paycheck distribution to concern the methods and means of performing work, i.e., the agency's payroll function, within the meaning of section 7106(b)(1) of the Statute /1/ and thus negotiable only at the election of the agency. /2/ Thus, in the circumstances of this case, the Authority finds that the Department of Transportation's alleged interference with the bargaining relationship between the Third Coast Guard District and the Union, by preventing bargaining concerning the change of paycheck delivery, did not constitute a violation of section 7116(a)(1) and (5) of the Statute. /3/ Similarly, the Authority finds that there is no Agency obligation to bargain over its decision to change the method of distributing savings bonds. In this regard, the Authority finds that inasmuch as an agency's distribution of savings bonds is part of the method by which the agency fulfills its payroll obligation, as would be other things such as paycheck distribution, accounting for leave, overtime, compensatory time and tax deductions, it too concerns the methods and means of performing work within the meaning of section 7106(b)(1) of the Statute and is negotiable only at the election of the Agency. See Federal Employees Metal Trades Council, AFL-CIO, supra. Accordingly, the Authority finds that the Respondent's refusal to bargain concerning a change in the method of distributing savings bonds did not constitute a violation of section 7116(a)(1) and (5) of the Statute. Therefore, the complaint shall be dismissed in its entirety. ORDER IT IS ORDERED that the complaint in Case No. 2-CA-20217 be, and it hereby is, dismissed.

For the Respondent Richard A. Gomez and Robert D. Jensen For the Charging Party Alfred R. Johnson, Jr., Esq. For the General Counsel Before: SALVATORE J. ARRIGO Administrative Law Judge DECISION Statement of the Case This is a proceeding under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, Chapter 71 of Title 5 of the U.S. Code, 5 U.S.C. 7101 et seq. Upon an unfair labor practice charge filed by Local 2747, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (herein referred to as the Union) on January 27, 1982, as amended on March 10, 1982 and August 30, 1982, against the Department of Transportation (herein sometimes referred to as Respondent or DOT), the General Counsel of the Authority, by the Regional Director for Region II, issued a Complaint and Notice of Hearing on September 22, 1982. The Complaint alleged that Respondent refused to negotiate with the Union on the substance of a change in the method of delivering paychecks to employees of the Third Coast Guard District and thereafter unilaterally implemented the change in violation of section 7116(a)(1) and (5) of the Statute. A hearing on the Complaint was conducted on January 11, 1983 and September 21, 1983 at which all parties were represented and afforded full opportunity to adduce evidence, call, examine and cross-examine witnesses and argue orally. Briefs, including supplemental briefs, were filed by Respondent and the General Counsel and have been carefully considered. Upon the entire record in this matter, my observation of the witnesses and their demeanor and from my evaluation of the evidence, I make the following: Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law Background At all times material herein the Union has been the exclusive collective bargaining representative of various employees of the Third Coast Guard District of the U.S. Coast Guard located in New York, New York (the Third District herein). The U.S. Coast Guard (the Coast Guard herein) is an organizational entity within the Department of Transportation. Sometime prior to January 1983 Barry Lang, Labor Relations Specialist for the Third District, received a notice from Virgil Jackson, Civilian Personnel Specialist with Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C., that the Department of Transportation was going to promulgate an order which would end the distribution of paychecks and savings bonds at employees' worksites. At that time the majority of the approximately 380 Third District bargaining unit employees had been receiving their checks and bonds at the worksite for some time. Jackson suggested the Lang inform the Union of the pending issuance. Jackson and Lang agreed that no negotiations with any union was required since the Agency had a meritorious "compelling need" argument. Lang based his opinion on his recollection of a Coast Guard Commandant "instruction" which, in his view, indicated that any DOT order should be regarded as having compelling need attached to it. In early January 1983 Lang contacted Union President Richard Gomez and informed him that an order was going to be issued by DOT which would end the distribution of employee paychecks at the worksite. Gomez inquired as to what management's position would be if the Union submitted a bargaining proposal that pay procedures remain "as is." Lang replied that management would take the position that such a proposal was nonnegotiable since it would conflict with the DOT regulation for which a compelling need existed. Lang further informed Gomez that the Union could appeal the determination to the Authority but, in any event, management would be glad to entertain any proposal he had to negotiate on the impact and implementation of the order. At some time subsequent to the meeting with Lang described above, Gomez told Lang he did not wish to bargain on the impact and implementation aspects of the matter. On January 7, 1982 the Department of Transportation issued DOT Order 2730.3 entitled: "Distribution of Paychecks and U.S. Savings Bonds." The Order, applicable to all civilian employees in the Department of Transportation stated as its purpose: "This order prescribes departmental policy for distributing paychecks and U.S. Savings Bonds and ADVISES EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT ALREADY COMPLYING WITH PROVISIONS OF THIS ORDER THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION IS REQUIRED BY FEBRUARY 26, 1982." In addition to requiring all entities of Respondent, including all Districts of the United States Coast Guard, to discontinue the practice of delivering employee paychecks and bonds to the employee's office or post of duty, the Order also provided that future delivery would be accomplished by either: (a) direct mail delivery to an address or post office box (other than the office or post of duty) designated by the employee in writing or; (b) to a financial institution that was designated by the employee. The Order concluded with a paragraph entitled "Waiver," which stated: "Requests for waivers to the provisions of this order shall be addressed to the Office of Financial Management, M-80." DOT is comprised of various components such as the Coast Guard, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration and the Maritime Administration. At the time DOT Order 2730.3 issued, all but around 5,000 of the approximately 60,000 employees within the DOT organization were already in compliance with the requirements of the Order. Thus, full compliance with DOT's Order would result in virtually all employees under DOT's jurisdiction receiving paychecks and bonds at non-worksite locations. On January 22, 1982 the Coast Guard Commandant notified by teletype all its constituent organizations, including the Third District, that they were to comply with the requirements of DOT Order 2730.3 by February 19, 1982. The Union received a copy of the Commandant's teletype on January 22 and, on that same day, submitted to the Third District Commander a written request that the parties negotiated on the matter. The Union's request also contained its bargaining proposal that paychecks continue to be distributed to employees at the worksite as they had been in the past. The Union further contended that no compelling need existed for the DOT action. By memorandum to the Union dated January 25, 1982 the Third District refused to negotiate on the Union's proposal contending that the proposal was not negotiable "because it conflicts with DOT Order 2730.23 of January 7, 1982 for which a compelling need exists." On January 28, 1982 the Third District issued a notice to employees which stated that the delivery of Third District paychecks to the jobsite would cease by February 15, 1982, and, by that date, all employees must designate their home address, a post office box or a financial institution for the receipt of paychecks. By February 16, 1982 all employees of the Third District complied with this notice and therefore direct distribution of paychecks and bonds at the worksite ceased. Respondent's Contentions Recognition for representational purposes herein runs between the Union and the Third District. Accordingly, Respondent contends that no bargaining obligation exists between DOT, the named Respondent, and the Union and therefore, no failure or refusal to bargain within the meaning of the Statute can be found in these circumstances. /4/ Respondent further contends that the proper forum to resolve this matter is through the negotiability appeal procedure as a "compelling need" case and, in any event, a "compelling need" exists for the issuance of DOT Order 2730.3. /5/ The Proper Respondent In Department of Health and Human Services, Social Security Administration, Region VI, and Department of Health and Human Services, Social Security Administration, Galveston, Texas District, 10 FLRA No. 9 (1982), the Authority held: " . . . under the Statute, when the obligation to negotiate is breached by the acts and conduct of agency management, such a breach may provide the basis for a section 7116(a)(1) and (5) violation regardless of the location of that agency management in the agency chain of command. In the instant case, where agency management at the Regional level directed the immediate implementation of a policy which altered an established condition of employment in the Galveston District, such act was properly found to have violated section 7116(a)(1) and (5) of the Statute." (Footnotes omitted). In Department of Health and Human Services, et al., the Authority reached the conclusion cited above holding Region IV violated section 7116(a)(1) and (5), notwithstanding the fact that the union therein was the bargaining representative for Galveston District employees and not the parent Region IV employees. The complaint against the Galveston District was dismissed since the Authority found their conduct in implementing the directive was merely the ministerial action of complying with instructions of higher agency management " . . . because it had no choice except to do so . . . " See also Department of the Interior Water and Power Resources Service, Grand Coulee Project, Grand Coulee, Washington, 9 FLRA No. 46 (1982). In a subsequent case, Defense Logistics Agency (Cameron Station Virginia), et al., 12 FLRA No. 86, 12 FLRA 412, (1983), the Authority similarly dismissed that portion of a complaint against an activity because the record failed to establish that the parent organization " . . . prevented the subordinate levels of agency management from fulfilling their respective statutory obligations . . . " (Id. at 418). Thus it would appear from an analysis of the cases cited above that an unfair labor practice of refusing to bargain may be established against a parent organization where the parent organization (higher agency management) directs a subordinate activity that has a bargaining obligation with a union to alter an established condition of employment and no opportunity to negotiate is afforded the union. On the other hand, no unfair labor practice lies against a subordinate activity where the subordinate has no choice but to comply with the instruction of higher management or is prevented by higher management from fulfilling its bargaining obligations. In the case herein recognition runs between the Third District and the Union. However, DOT is the Third District's "top" management and its regulations are binding on the Third District. By its terms DOT Order 2730.3 required compliance by all employees within approximately seven weeks from the date of the Order. Indeed, recognizing its obligation to follow the dictates of higher management in dealing with the Union on the matter at issue, the Third District clearly took the position that the Union's proposal on distributing employee paychecks was not negotiable as to its substance since it conflicted with the DOT regulation which it was required to follow. While the Order indicated that a waiver to its provisions could be requested, no standards for requesting a waiver were set forth in the Order. Nor was there any indication in the Order that the waiver language was applicable to only individual employees or the waiver could be obtained by an entire organizational entity within the Department or whether a bargaining obligation on the part of a subordinate activity would be an acceptable reason for granting such a waiver. Indeed, quite obviously the Third District did not interpret the waiver language to apply to it as an organization because of its outstanding bargaining obligation with the Union, as evidenced by the lack of its having made any request for a waiver. Accordingly, in the circumstances herein I conclude that DOT Order 2730.3 provided no discretion on the part of the Third District as to whether the substance of the Order could be ignored, modified or implemented. Thus, the Third District had no choice but to comply with the requirements of the Order and thereby alter an established condition of employment without negotiating with the Union on the matter. Compelling Need Respondent contends that a compelling need within the meaning of section 7117 of the Statute existed for the Order. /6/ To support its position Respondent elicited testimony which revealed that the Order was promulgated at a time when its budget and resources were reduced and the Order was seen as a means of saving money and jobs. By reducing the work of "designated agents" in distributing paychecks, the overall savings to the Department by using the direct mailing process was established to have been in excess of 100,000 a year. /7/ Testimony was adduced which indicated that direct mailing of checks improved the security of paycheck distribution and delivery since less individuals handled the checks. Thus, worksite distribution of checks involved mailing the checks from Kansas City to the payroll offices and the transfer to designated agents for distribution. An employee would occasionally not be available to receive a paycheck and a designated agent would sometimes not follow the "formal" procedure of returning the check to the payroll office for safekeeping but keep the check in a desk drawer instead of awaiting the return of the employee. However, no specific testimony was adduced as to the frequency of such desk drawer retention nor is there any evidence that checks were, in fact, lost or stolen while using this procedure. Respondent further argues that since there exists 120 bargaining units covering over 23,000 employees under DOT's jurisdiction, if a compelling need was not found to exist herein, Respondent could be faced with bargaining demands and negotiations which could produce many different paycheck distribution systems resulting in costs far exceeding those involved in the previous distribution system. Section 2424.11(a) of the Authority's Rules and Regulations, entitled "Illustrative Criteria," provides: "A compelling need exists for an agency rule or regulation concerning any condition of employment when the agency demonstrates that the rule or regulation meets one or more of the following illustrative criteria: "(a) The rule or regulation is essential, as distinguished from helpful or desirable, to the accomplishment of the mission or the execution of functions of the agency or primary national subdivision in a manner which is consistent with the requirements of an effective and efficient government." Respondent suggests that an examination of the illustrative criteria contained in section 2424.11 of the Authority's Interim Regulations (Federal Register, Vol. 44, No. 147, July 30, 1979), would be helpful in determining compelling need herein. The relevant criteria in the Interim Regulations provided: "(a) The rule or regulation is essential, as distinguished from helpful or desirable, to the accomplishment of the mission of the agency or primary national subdivision; "(b) The rule or regulation is essential, as distinguished from helpful or desirable, to the management of the agency or the primary national subdivision; . . . . "(e) The rule or regulation establishes uniformity for all or a substantial segment of the employees of the agency or primary national subdivision where this is essential to the effectuation of the public interest." When the Final Rules and Regulations were published (Federal Register, Vol. 45, No. 12, January 7, 1980), the Authority, in the Part-by-Part Analysis of Comments and Changes portion of the publication, explained certain revisions in section 2424.11 as follows: "The Authority also has considered the illustrative criteria. Criterion (a), namely, the rule or regulation is essential to the accomplishment of the mission of the agency or primary national subdivision, has been amended to cover, also, the execution of agency functions. In addition, this criterion has been clarified to emphasize that it must be applied consistent with the finding and purpose of Congress stated in 5 U.S.C. 7101 that the provisions of the Statute should be interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirement of an effective and efficient Government. "As to criteria (b) and (e) of the interim rules and regulations, they were determined to be unnecessary and therefore this section has been amended to delete them. It was determined that the essence of these criteria is subsumed in amended criterion (a)." Accordingly, Respondent takes the position that DOT Order 2730.3, when viewed in the context of its purpose, i.e., financial savings, improved security of paycheck delivery, and uniformity of paycheck delivery, meets the requirements set forth in section 2424.11 of the Regulations. Respondent contends the Order: (1) is essential to the execution of functions of the agency in a manner which is consistent with the requirement of an effective and efficient government; (2) is essential to the management of the agency; and, (3) establishes uniformity for a substantial segment of the employees of the agency where this is essential to the effectuation of the public interest. To support its contention Respondent relies on American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2875, and Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service, Southeast Fisheries Center, Miami Laboratory, Florida, 5 FLRA 441 (1981) wherein the Authority in finding no compelling need for an agency regulation, stated: "The Agency does not demonstrate that the policy reflected in the subject regulation requiring leave charges to be made in increments of one hour was established because operation of its payroll and leave administration functions would be less costly if leave was charged to employees in hourly, as opposed to quarter-hour, increments. That is, the Agency does not show that modification of its present payroll data system to accommodate leave charges in quarter hour increments would preclude the Agency from administering its payroll functions efficiently and effectively . . . . " (Id. at 448, 449). By citing this language Respondent seems to urge that a showing of a less costly payroll operation would support a finding that a rule in furtherance thereof would meet the requirement of section 2424.11 of the Regulations since cost savings would be " . . . consistent with the requirements of an effective and efficient government." However, in the above quoted language, the Authority, in finding no compelling need, merely pointed out that the modification sought by the Union would not "preclude the Agency from administering its payroll functions efficiently and effectively." Moreover, the Authority held that the obligation to bargain does not require an agency to agree to a proposal. In this latter regard the Authority further stated: " . . . after bargaining over the Union's proposal, should the Agency's estimate of the cost of implementing the Union's proposal remain an obstacle to agreement, those considerations as to cost may be presented to the Federal Service Impasses Panel in a proceeding to resolve a negotiation impasse pursuant to section 7119 of the Statute." (Id. at 449). An agency which raises compelling need as an affirmative defense in an unfair labor practice proceeding is obligated to affirmatively support that assertion. Defense Logistics Agency, (Cameron Station, Virginia), 12 FLRA No. 86 (1983). Thus, Respondent must show that DOT Order 2730.3 is . . . essential as distinguished from helpful or desirable to the accomplishment of its mission. National Federation of Federal Employees, Local 1332 and Headquarters, U.S. Army Material Development and Readiness Command, Alexandria, Virginia, 6 FLRA 361 (1981) at 371. Financial savings to the Agency alone is not sufficient to demonstrate the essentiability of the Order within the meaning of section 2424.11(a) of the Regulations. American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Local 2875, supra, at 220. Indeed, if savings and security were viewed by Respondent as being essential to the accomplishment of its mission, Respondent nevertheless has now shown why these objectives could not be achieved through means other than requiring all employees to use the system of direct deposit of paychecks and bonds. Cf. American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Local 3804 and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Chicago Region, Illinois, 7 FLRA 217 (1981), at 220 and American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Local 3385 and Federal Home Loan Bank Board, District 7, Chicago, Illinois, 7 FLRA 398 (1981), at 407-408. Further, the Authority has held that an agency's desire to have a uniform policy does not in itself demonstrate that a regulation meets the compelling need criteria of section 2424.11(a) of the Regulations. American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Local 2670, et al., 10 FLRA No. 19 (1982). Rather, an agency must demonstrate and justify, under the Authority's criteria, an "overriding need" that the policy reflected in the rule be uniformly applied throughout the agency. Id. at 74. Whether other unions will seek to negotiate on this matter is speculative at best. In any event Respondent's concern, if it should materialize and is deemed significant, could be presented to the Federal Service Impasses Panel for resolution. Cf. American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2875, supra, at 449. Accordingly, I find Respondent has not shown an "overriding need" for a uniform policy of direct deposit of paychecks and bonds as opposed to worksite distribution to those employees who would opt for this type of delivery. In the circumstances herein I conclude that Respondent has not met its burden of demonstrating that Order 2730.3 is essential, as distinguished from helpful or desirable, to the execution of its functions in a manner which is consistent with the requirement of an effective and efficient government. Accordingly, I conclude that the Department of Transportation, by requiring the Third Coast Guard District to implement DOT Order 2730.3 discontinuing the distribution of unit employees' paychecks and bonds, a condition of employment within the meaning of the Statute, /8/ violated section 7116(a)(1) and (5) of the Statute and recommend the Authority issue the following: ORDER Pursuant to section 2423.29 of the Federal Labor Relations Authority's Rules and Regulations and section 7118 of the Statute, it is hereby ordered that the Department of Transportation shall: 1. Cease and desist from: (a) Unilaterally changing established conditions of employment at the Third Coast Guard District of the U.S. Coast Guard concerning the manner of distributing paychecks and savings bonds of employees represented by Local 2747, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, the employees exclusive collective bargaining representative. (b) In any like or related manner interfering with, restraining or coercing its employees in the exercise of their rights assured by the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute. 2. Take the following affirmative action: (a) Withdraw and rescind Order 2730.3 concerning the manner of distribution of paychecks and savings bonds as applicable to employees of the Third Coast Guard District represented by Local 2747, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, and reinstate the procedures and policies in effect prior to its issuance. (b) Notify Local 2747, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, the exclusive representative of the employees of the Third Coast Guard District, of any intended change in the manner of distributing bargaining unit employees' paychecks and savings bonds and provide such exclusive representative an opportunity to request negotiations with the Third Coast Guard District, or other appropriate management representative, and bargain in good faith on any such proposed change in an established condition of employment. (c) Post at its Office of the Secretary, Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. facility and its Third Coast Guard District, U.S. Coast Guard, New York, New York facility, copies of the attached Notice on forms to be furnished by the Federal Labor Relations Authority. Upon receiving such forms, they shall be signed by the Secretary, Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C., and shall be posted and maintained by him for sixty consecutive days thereafter, in conspicuous places, including bulletin boards and all other places where notices to employees in the Office of the Secretary, Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C., and the Third Coast Guard District, U.S. Coast Guard, New York, New York are customarily posted.

Courtney Love: Fashion blogger
Courtney Love jumped on the blogging bandwagon by launching her fashion blog, What Courtney Wore Today. The blog is self-explanatory, Courtney posts photos of and tidbits about what she is wearing.
In typical Love fashion, it can be a bit jumbled and hard to understand, like this post for example:
T. im sure she'll lose whatever, she got too skinny and scared everyone
half to death when she first arrived in Manhattan, so i think she'll if
that's what her heart is set on - but i have one name,.... RUSSELL
SIMMONS... she may do a major game change, am not free to state what it
is. Perhaps X. is right , look at Renee Zellweger or Kidman they are
waaay too skinny and they get the campaigns , i also know she's up for
a Major Perfume campaign thanks to Panos and Riccardo and the good
people of LVMH..well see. First she's got to do a radical game change
as people in the flyover states still think she's on drugs, or Bi Polar
or something. They just don't have a clue she's obsessed with her
wardrobe, i think she;s in chicago today, my first text this morning
from CLC was a bit cryptic
Will Courtney Love be fighting the likes of style bloggers for front row seats at fashion week? We doubt it. But nonetheless, WCWT is sure to be a fun a read and a guilty pleasure. If you want to see Courtney in all her glory (and perhaps some Balenciaga), head to First Avenue on Friday. Hole will be playing with opening act Foxy Shazam.

Cool picture! But do you think you will be posting the others from your Tumblr to dA or are they EXCLUSIVES! D:
I like to keep my sketches to Tumblr mostly, I will post a few more to DA, but overall it's going to be mostly offsite to avoid flooding!
Noooooooooooooo :c It's harder to find peoples art on Tumblr because of all the other blogs people follow, your art will be cluttered under a bunch of other stuff and it will be hard to see your awesome work. You can just post your doodles/sketches in Scraps because by default it will be turned off so you won't have to worry about over flowing people. It's your opinion and I understand, you can do what you want but I'm just saying this because I've lost a lot of great artists to Tumblr and even if they post on Tumblr, I never see it.
Well I can try, I did link the exact tag within my own journal, so if you use that in the description you can see my full Pokemon Dex thingy, if that helps a little. You wouldn't have to follow day to day on Tumblr and still see them all.
Yea I guess but this thing is I can't it if it's on Tumblr, I know Tumblr has their own Like system but I rather art on dA. It's complected. :c

Item #: 143PXC350
This item is no longer available.
Original Price: $249.99
The Sennheiser PXC 350 noise compensation headphones reduce outside sounds such as engine roar and background conversation so you can enjoy your music at lower and safer volume levels while traveling. And they deliver warm, detailed sound, thanks to Sennheiser's patented speaker drivers and careful design.
A built-in switch activates the noise compensation. Tiny microphones in the headphones pick up the sounds of your environment. Advanced circuitry then creates a signal that "cancels out" much of this external noise without affecting your music or movie soundtrack.
The PXC 350s feature generous padding on the earcups and headband so you can wear them comfortably for hours on end handy for long trips. And they fold flat for compact storage in the provided travel case.
I've had these headphones for about a week and really enjoy tnem. I prefer headphones over earbuds and these are incredible. Often I don't even need the noise canceling turned on. But when traveling through a very noisy subway tunnel it was nice to turn that on and continue my listening. They are bulky, but they feel like they are very well made and should hold up very well. These wouldn't do well for listening while running or doing other active sports but for superb listening they are great.
Extremely bulky and uncomfortable. Sent them right back.
Incredible headphones! Today is my first day using these, and I'm impressed.
They produce a great sound-stage and even work great without running on the
batteries. I was a little disappointed with still being able to hear a lot
without music being played, but ultimately, I will use these with sound being
played so I didn't feel this would take a star off for me. A little expensive
but well worth it, and it even comes with it's own travel case! :)
I bought these headphones about a year ago from Crutchfield and they still sound fantastic. The quality of materials and the great sound from the PXC-350 make it hard to pass on these. I tried the Bose and they sounded good but these are more comfortable, sound better, storage case is smaller and the price is less. It was a no brainer for me...
Hey this is Brad'
I rolled the dice on this product. To find out all they make is headphones. They are made for air line pilots. The first time I heard them I was shocked. rock @ roll, country and christian music sounded so different. Clear mid highs with the bass not muttering them. The bass is tight and smooth. The range on the frequences, blended together crisp. I am glad I bought this, it was worth the money. I play bass and this allows me to hear it clearly.
AWESOME product. I listen to drums & base, Jungle and techno which all require VERY strong base support.
6" cord is a lilttle short.
I bought these headphones for my son to use with his computer and mp3
player. I went with these over Bose because of the discounted price and
more sturdy build quality - he is 17 and I was concerned the Bose would
not stand up over time. He is extremely pleased with them. Great sound
and noise reduction, very comfortable, and solid build. I would definitely
buy them again.

Overview: The Sennheiser PXC 350 are closed, dynamic, over-the-ear stereo headphones with active noise compensation technology know as NoiseGard Advance, designed for use with any entertainment system, including in-flight audio systems. Passive and active noise reduction enable you to enjoy music even in noisy environments.
NoiseGard Advance Noise-cancellation Technology: NoiseGard Technology is an active noise compensation system which Sennheiser originally developed for use by pilots, who have to rely on good sound quality and efficient protection against ambient noise even in high-noise environments. NoiseGard actively compensates the noise, based on the physics principle of sound and counter-sound. The PXC 350 features the NoiseGard Advance technology. This technology is a further development of the filter functions used in the original NoiseGard system, and enables even better active attenuation of ambient noise of up to 85%. It is of course also possible to use these headphones passively, without NoiseGard and without batteries.
Diaphragms: The PXC 350 enables audiophile sound experience, thanks to its adaptive baffle damping in combination with the patented Duofol diaphragms, which prevent unwanted partial oscillation and thus guarantee a highly natural, lifelike sound quality.
Volume Control: The headphone's volume can be adjusted directly on the headphones from the in-line remote integrated into the supplied headphone cable.
Comfortable Fit: The PXC 350 provides a comfortable fit and high level of passive ambient noise attenuation thanks to its over-the-earcup design and padded adjustable headband made of top quality materials.
Removable Headphone Cable: The headphone cable of the PXC 350 can easily be removed and replaced for long service life. You can also remove the headphone cable to use the headphones as a passive hearing protector device.
Airline Stereo Audio Adapter: The supplied airline stereo audio adapter allows connection to a variety of aircraft entertainment systems.
Travel Case: The headphones fold together for compact storage in the provided case, making them an ideal travel accessory.
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Mitsubishi Galant Problems
A rattle type noise may develop from one of the exhaust heat shields. Replacement of the affected heat shield may be required to correct this issue.
The crankshaft position sensor may fail causing a no start and/or stalling condition. Replacement of the failed sensor will generally corrects this concern.
The power windows may fail, often related to moisture inside the door. Affected components will need to be replaced. If possible some type of moisture protection could be added to try and prevent repeat failures.
Mitsubishi Galant Questions
I have replaced the brakes and rotors, tires are not worn. I would like to know if it could be cv joint? also replaced all motor mounts and transmission mount. It only shakes at 70 mph and when I brake.
during the summer my floor got wet when i turn on the ac that was five months ok
Mitsubishi Galant Recalls
The pipes that connect the transmission to the transmission cooler may corrode and leak. Transmission fluid leaking poses a fire hazard. Dealers will inspect the cooler pipe and replace it if anti-corrosion properties are found to be insufficient. This recall began during March, 2010.
The attachment for the left fuel tank mounting strap may have been improperly formed, causing the metal to split. In the event the fuel tank is full and the vehicle is involved in a severe collision, the attachment bracket may break, allowing the fuel tank to drop down and possibly causing a fuel leak. Any fuel leak always increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will inspect the mounting bracket and perform repairs as necessary. This recall is scheduled to begin on September 20, 2008. The Mitsubishi recall number is SR-08-005.
The ignition key interlock cable may allow the interlock cam to fall forward, allowing the key to be removed from the ignition when the gearshift lever is not in the park position. If this occurs when the park brake is not applied, the vehicle could roll unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect these vehicles and perform the required repairs. This recall is expected to begin during August of 2008.
Mitsubishi Galant Reviews
I had my 2003 model since new, the only parts I have replaced is the oxygen sensor, front disk and brakes and timing belt. The cars has 230,000 miles and still going.
I bought this car with 30k miles, eight years later it now has 172k miles. It's a 6 cylinder. I've owned alot of cars over the years, but I've never owned a car this long without any problems. I don't do routine maintenance to it, but yet it keeps going. This is my all-time #1 best performing car. My 2005 MB is no where close to this quality.
Great car! I've had some reoccuring AC issues, but I think we finally got it all fixed.

New Orleans Beignets Recipe
4.5 12
These sweet French doughnuts are square instead of round and have no hole in the middle. They're a traditional part of breakfast in New Orleans. —Beth Dawson, Jackson, Louisiana
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 4-1/2 cups self-rising flour
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- Confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, oil, sugar, egg and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; roll into a 16x12-in. rectangle. Cut into 2-in. squares.
- In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry squares, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Roll warm beignets in confectioners' sugar. Yield: 4 dozen.
Editor's Note: As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.

Worth getting arrested if it's by her
Love your Marge pictures. She doesn't get enough attention in fan art.
I surrender to her....
Heh... you drew her mighty cute.
Looks like the right size to me....
I remember that episode. Marge was such a competent and capable cop...shame that she didn't threaten those bullies punching Bart with her gun though...
Whoa. She does have her handcuffs, yes?
Hah, that's one of my fave episodes and one of my fave moments too. Nice rendition.

Phantoon by Emortal982Watch
©2014-2016 Emortal982
Another one of the iconic bosses of Super Metroid.
What a great game
What a great game
Does anybody know that...*SPOILERS*...he reappears as the true final boss of Metroid Other M?
Awesome work! Super Metroid is one of my favorites too. Imagine a giant eyeball like that staring at you.
he disappeared too often for my taste to make that boss fight fun
You should draw the Metroid Prime. That was a killer boss as well!
Agreed. The Metroid Prime is one of my favorites from the entire series, but Quadraxis takes the cake for best of all time in my opinion.
very H.R. Giger-esk I love it!
Eyeball in the mouth was a great design choice. The ghost part helps too. Great bumps and creases on the forehead (bulb? brain?) part.
Very haunting image, really like the fine texturing done here.
Thanks. There was a lot of loose experimenting with textures while building his general shapes. I really wanted to keep him grungy.
Ah, the current boss I'm facing in Super Metroid, only real complaint I have about Phantoon is that I can't access the save station before his room due the sucker leaching all of the power in the wrecked ship So I always have to hike all the way to him from Crateria every single time *grumbles* He's been fun to fight though, so at least there's that.
I just fought him yesterday, and I all but forgot about how that one went. The fact that you only have a second to hit him once in a while makes it a bit frustrating. Half my time was spent rolling to each corner to dodge the circular flame attack, and the other half was spent wondering when exactly he planned on opening his eye.
Mhm, I've had more trouble figuring out how to beat Phantoon than I have any of the others so far, do Power Bombs work on him, or just make Phantoon angry like Crocomire and otherwise have no affect on him? ...'cause if the Power Bombs are superior to the Super Missiles in terms of damage, then I just might try that next time I go play the game.
The bosses pretty much seem to ignore the power bombs. You'll need to either use the charge beam, missiles, or super missiles to do any damage. He's a pain to say the least hehe.
That ghost ship used to scare the crap out of me. Facing Phantoon always made me nervous back then
They definitely made that derelict ship pretty creepy and atmospheric, and then this guy comes out of thin air to ruin your day.
This is super creepy.
That thing used to scare the living crap out of me XD

Bowden on probe: 'I'm innocent'
Updated: February 23, 2009, 10:54 PM ETAssociated Press
VIERA, Fla. -- Washington Nationals general manager Jim Bowden responded Monday to a report that he's part of a federal investigation into the skimming of signing bonuses given to prospects from Latin America, saying he's done nothing improper.

Trace Cyrus and Brenda Song have sparked rumors their engagement is back on.
The 24-year-old rock musician, who is Miley Cyrus' older brother, and the former Disney star, 25, called off their engagement last June, blaming their busy work schedules, but the 'Social Network' actress was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand finger on Thursday (06.13.13), amid rumors they recently reignited their romance.
The duo was also photographed together at a 7-Eleven in Studio City, California, on Tuesday (06.11.13) renting a movie and buying snacks at 1 a.m.
The brunette beauty, who previously starred on 'The Suite Life of Zack & Cody' and most recently on 'New Girl' and 'Scandal,' hinted that the couple reconciled on Twitter on Friday (06.14.13), writing: "Sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together."
She also posted: "Don't give up on someone you can't go a full day without thinking about."
The couple announced their engagement in October 2011 and released a statement that they had split last summer just days after the former Metro Station rocker's sister Miley, 20, revealed she is engaged to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth.
Trace's mother Tish Cyrus filed for divorce from his adopted father Billy Ray Cyrus on Thursday after 19 years of marriage.

Hi Friends-- We're in the pink over here this morning... After celebrating Mia's 5th Birthday yesterday with a Pink Party. I'm going to post a tutorial on making a crepe paper wreath soon. But in the meantime, here are some photos from the party. We had a "Candy Bar" where kids could choose what goodies they wanted to take home. We used simple wax … [Read more...]

- The Liberation of Miss Finch
- by
- Oct 2011
Disfigured in battle against Napoleon's forces, Captain Graham Veall has become a recluse, spending months alone on his estate and appearing masked in public. Yet Graham is determined not to forgo life's pleasures forever...especially the delight of a woman's touch.
He hardly expects virginal Miss Margaret Leigh to respond to his advertisement for female company, thinking he sought a lady's companion. Still, the impoverished vicar's daughter is a surprising temptation he can't ignore. His proposition? That she live with him for two months as his mistress in exchange for supporting her and her brother for the rest of their lives.
But Margaret has a secret. Graham once saved her life as a child and she has dreamed about him ever since. As he awakens her desire, she longs to soothe his inner wounds--though only two months with her damaged hero may not be enough....

We can no longer ignore how taxpayers' money is incentivizing divorce and creating children who never or seldom "engage" (Obama's word) with their fathers. We can no longer ignore the government's complicity in the predictable social costs that result from more than 17 million children growing up without their fathers. Fatherless boys and girls are much more likely to run away, abuse drugs, get pregnant, drop out of school, commit suicide or end up in jail.
The root of the family court evil is the redefinition of a legal doctrine called the Best Interests of the Child. This phrase originally meant the presumption that courts should generally stay out of family decisions because, as the Supreme Court wrote in 1979, "natural bonds of affection lead parents to act in the best interests of their children."
Some states say "best interests" and some say "best interest," but it means the same thing. That's just a buzzword to conceal the transfer of parental rights to judges.
This phrase is now used as an affirmative grant of power to family court judges to overrule parents on all child-related issues. Three things are wrong with the current interpretation of Best Interests of the Child.
First, it is contrary to the rule of law by giving judges extraordinary discretion to enforce their own prejudices and to micro-manage lives. They punish parents for things that were never written down as crimes or offenses.
Second, the "best interests" standard undermines parental rights. Instead of saying that parents are the final authorities, as the family unit was understood for centuries, it allows judges to make routine child-rearing decisions.
Third, courts have no competence to determine a child's best interests, so they rely on poorly trained evaluators who make unscientific recommendations about custody and visitation. There is rarely any evidence that a court-defined schedule is better than joint child custody.
Reform should get family courts out of the practice of pitting parents against each other, entertaining criminal accusations without evidence, assessing onerous support payments, sending dads to debtors' prison and appointing so-called "experts" to make parenting decisions. Instead, the courts should protect the rights of both parents.
In past Father's Day messages, Obama has blamed fathers for abandoning their responsibilities, but this year's message had no such comment. Perhaps Obama has learned that many fathers are locked out of their rights and responsibilities by family courts.
