I believe that election day 2012 will go down in U.S. history as an extremely important event. No, not because in its national apathy the citizens re-elected a crony capitalist puppet as President. Rather, because it was the day when two states overwhelmingly rejected the Federal Prohibition on marijuana. Of course, I am referring to Amendment 64 in Colorado and Initiative 502 in Washington State, which legalize pot for recreational use.
Upon its passage, I wrote a piece titled: Colorado Legalizes Marijuana: Your Move Eric Holder. I knew right away that the Federales would not be pleased by this law. I also knew that, contrary to popular myth, Obama isn't "liberal" in any sense of the word and in fact he has demonstrated highly authoritarian characteristics throughout his Presidency and an uncanny willingness to lie repeatedly. So I assumed his reaction would be aggressive, because for him this issue isn't about marijuana, but rather Federal (his own) power versus the power of his "subjects."
We learn from the New York Times that the administration is indeed looking to get tough:
WASHINGTON — Senior White House and Justice Department officials are considering plans for legal action against Colorado and Washington that could undermine voter-approved initiatives to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in those states, according to several people familiar with the deliberations.
Some law enforcement officials, alarmed at the prospect that marijuana users in both states could get used to flouting federal law openly, are said to be pushing for a stern response.
The Obama administration declined to comment on the deliberations, but pointed to a statement the Justice Department issued on Wednesday — the day before the initiative took effect in Washington — in the name of the United States attorney in Seattle, Jenny A. Durkan. She warned Washington residents that the drug remained illegal.
So what are the Federales considering?
One option is for federal prosecutors to bring some cases against low-level marijuana users of the sort they until now have rarely bothered with, waiting for a defendant to make a motion to dismiss the case because the drug is now legal in that state.
A more aggressive option is for the Justice Department to file lawsuits against the states to prevent them from setting up systems to regulate and tax marijuana, as the initiatives contemplated.
Another potential avenue would be to cut off federal grants to the states unless their legislatures restored anti-marijuana laws, said Gregory Katsas, who led the civil division of the Justice Department during the George W. Bush administration.
This is going to be an incredible drama to watch unfold, and in many ways I wouldn't mind seeing Obama get aggressive on this issue because it will be such a huge political blunder. Not only was the vote overwhelming in favor of legalization in my state of Colorado (55% voted yes and it received more votes that Obama did in the state), but a very high percentage of Democrats support legalization and does he really want to start off his second term by marginalizing the remaining supporters he hasn't already as a result of his horrible track record on civil liberties, banker bailouts and aggressive foreign policy? It's not just Democrats though. A Rasmussen poll in May showed that 56% of those surveyed nationwide were in favor of legalization. Obama would just be fighting the inevitably culturally, protecting Mexican drug cartel profits and in the end just look like a fool.
Even more than a States rights versus Federal power issue, this is about democracy versus authoritarianism. Obama pushing back hard on the will of the people will only further expose the sham that is his Presidency for more to see.
I also discussed this issue on my recent appearance of Capital Account, which you can watch here.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DEE50 GORGEOUS TABLE This table is so Beautiful!! Very Heavy, Great Quality and the metal accents are outstanding! I LOVE THIS TABLE I WISH THEY MADE END TABLES TO MATCH!! I have one word to describe this table "STUNNING" January 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Julianneinsf Just what I needed! I wanted something casual and rustic to put in a spare/family room. Didn't want to worry about glasses/feet being placed on it to watch TV and this is perfect. It's well made and the drawer opening from both sides is a plus. It was expertly packed and was delivered much quicker than anticipaated--3 days instead of 14! The fact that it was on sale made it even better. Great buy! January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by person6436 This is a beautiful, substantial, rustic table! I took a chance on this table because I couldn't go check it out in any nearby stores, and no reviews, but I have no regrets. The price was half off and it's worth more than I paid. Its rustic but smooth. The size is great- it would suit even a large, overstuffed sofa. The drawer opens on both sides and that awesome hardware is on both sides. I bought this as a gift and I can't wait to give it! December 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by OCGuy1 very useful smaller coffee table I needed a less-than-full-size coffee table with a rustic look, for use in a small (10 x 12) spare bedroom that is furnished with a sofa bed and a rustic antique blanket chest. Also, I wanted a table with storage drawers, in this case to store linens for the sofa bed: this is a memory foam mattress design from Crate and Barrel which is in three sections, it does not Z-fold like a traditional sofa bed and thus the mattress pad must be removed when the bed is folded back into sofa configuration. Also, the sofa design fits a queen size sleeper in only 72" of wall space, so I did not have room for an average 53 x 33 coffee table. This table fit nicely in the available space, without creating an obstacle. Extra shipping on this item was substantial, and because it is internet-only, you don't have to option of free in-store pick-up, nor can you see the item in person. It arrived with a few minor chips, despite careful packing, but I opted not to return it and was able to fix the blemishes myself, as another reviewer here also did. Color is a bit darker and grayer than the image appears on a computer screen, which was fine. This is a rustic table you can put your feet up on, which was the whole idea, since the sofa behind it is my favorite reading spot. The two-way drawer (slides to open on both sides) works great for me. I use it to store the mattress pad, comforter cover, bottom sheet, and pillow cases for the sofa bed. The drawer is deep and wide, with room left over. I also store reading glasses and tea lights (for use in votives displayed on the table) in the drawer, and it all fits. An alternative for my space and storage needs would have been the "Roland" coffee table, about the same size with similar storage capability, but it was not offered for sale online at the time I purchased the Ross. Handling charges for the Roland are about fifty dollars less than for the Ross, which may be a factor for someone faced with a choice. As of today, both tables are internet-only, though the Roland is on display in some stores (but no in-store pick-up at our local store). April 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DesertPeace Good Looking Coffee Table. Damaged twice during shipping. It's a nice looking table. The rugged wood surface and the aged look of the door handles give it a cool rustic look. I am not crazy that the drawer can open from both sides. I have to adjust it each time so the drawer would look centered. It's only a minor annoyance. The major trouble I had with the table was the damaged that occurred during shipping and handling, TWICE. The first time the edge of the table was damaged. The second time a 2-inch piece of wood came off from the drawer. I was able to glue the chipped wood back on easily, so I decided to keep the table instead of sending it back again. World Market's customer service was excellent. They were prompt in picking up the table and replacing it with another one. They even gave me a 20% discount. It was an unexpected pleasant surprise. Also, there was no assembly required for the table, which is super nice. April 13, 2014

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Don�t ask J.R. Smith about the Knicks� defensive woes. Smith admits he doesn�t know much about playing defense.
�That�s really not my area of expertise. I�m more of a scoring-type player,� Smith told the New York Post. �I�ll leave that to those guys. Whatever they want to do, it�s OK with me. Just let me know.��
Smith, who is feuding with head coach Mike Woodson, said he doesn�t think the coach�s defensive scheme is responsible for the team�s five-game losing streak and 15-27 record. Woodson has hinted at switching to a zone to help solve the team�s defensive struggles and held a three-hour practice on Thursday.
�Right now we�re pretty much open to anything new,�� Smith told the Post. �The old stuff isn�t really getting it done. But at the end of the day, it�s going to come from the players. I don�t think it�s coach�s fault or the scheme�s fault. If you play hard and play smart it�s tough to lose games.��

ZF-8182: Zend_Queue_Adapter_Memcacheq should not open new socket each time send() is called
Method send() calls isExists() that calls getQueues() that in turn calls _sendCommand() that opens new socket each time it's called. This is real performance killer and even leads to denial of service due to reaching sockets limit on heavy writes.
I would suggest either lazy opening single socket and holding it around, or completely remove isExists() call from send() because it's useless anyway - in Memcacheq, queues are created on-the-fly, so they always "exist".
Fixed in SVN commit # 18741

ZF-3647: Zend_Rest_Client_Result::getStatus() incorrectly assumes $this->_sxml is an object
note Consider this post Public Domain.
line 43 of Rest/Client/Result.php, within __construct(): $this->_sxml = simplexml_load_string($data);
If the $data is malformed or invalid xml, $this->_sxml can contain (bool) False.
line 147 of Rest/Client/Result.php, within getStatus(): $status = $this->_sxml->xpath('//status/text()');
Since $this->_sxml is (bool) False, it breaks.
Insert at line 147: if ($this->_sxml === false) return False;
Similar issue reported in ZF-3705
I hope this gets fixed in 1.6 as we can not guarantee that a remote service will always serve up valid xml - although it should
Fixed in trunk. Implementation is using a simple error handler for the Xml parsing to show a specific error message.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 34 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zan VERY HAPPY! I am SO HAPPY World Market still carries this awesome lamp! I gave mine away when I moved to a small space and was I sorry when I recently moved again! I'm getting another one ASAP! What I also like is the flexibility of amount of light for where one wants to put it (ambiance, reading, etc.) by adjusting the bulb wattage. ALSO it is easy to install DIFFERENT lampshades for a whole new look! THANK YOU WORLD MARKET! December 13, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by b.frankie Absolutely Gorgeous It's a gorgeous lamp, and I'm likely to get another one. I love the design, it really fits with my hodgepodge of Mission/Asian inspired living room furniture. June 30, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Claire LOVE IT... BUYING ANOTHER! I use this lamp in my 16x11 living room, and I regularly use it instead of the overhead light. It produces warm light that easily fills the room. I have owned this lamp for over 3 years, and I have gotten countless comments from people saying they want to buy the same one. I am about to purchase the same one for my office! March 17, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Big Sky Perfect lighting and accent I have this lamp in my living room, it provides just enough light, is a great accent and compliments my decor perfectly! I have received many compliments on this lamp. November 6, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kalola A classic I've had this lamp for more than 6 years, and have loved having it as a stylish piece in my living room in 3 different homes in 3 different states! It provides soft lighting and is convenient to position in various ways over sofas and chairs. To those who can't seem to find any replacement shades, it couldn't be simpler! Paper lanterns are easy to find these days in a rainbow of colors and an array of sizes, and they are so inexpensive -- you should pay no more than a few dollars per lantern. Mine ripped (more like disintegrated) after 5 years living in the tropics, and I simply bought some ivory paper lanterns in 8" and 10" diameter sizes. They are close to the original sizes, and even though the change is subtle, the new shades give the lamp a fresh look. Any standard paper lantern includes the wire frame with a "C" clamp on top that clips onto the cords the same way the originals do. Many stores sell paper lanterns, and if you can't seem to find them in a store, do a quick search online for "paper lanterns," and you'll find a host of retailers selling them for a couple dollars each, in a whole range of colors, patterns and even shapes. Try looking for nylon lanterns if you'd like more durability.As for bulbs, for the two smaller size lanterns, I've used a small 7-watt CFL (purchased at [...]) that's equivalent to the size of a ceiling fan or appliance bulb. In the larger lantern, a standard-size CFL (40W equivalent) fits just fine. September 3, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by #1worldmarketshopper Love it! I bought the Barrett table and chairs and needed a light over it. This lamp worked perfect for what I needed in the space, it is the perfect height, and it looks great too! Great buy, I couln't be happier. The only thing I would recommend is using 40 watt bulbs, the 60 and 40 were too bright. November 29, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aardvark Understated and functional! Perfect lighting for over the bed. Soft lighting, pleasant design, adjustable, the switch is within perfect reach next to the bed (or perhaps near a sofa). I had my reservations when I opened the box, it looked cheap in its packaging, but once it was assembled and arranged over the bed, it was an understated focal point to the room! August 30, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Interior Design Lover 60-WATT BULBS NOT REQUIRED As previously stated in other reviews, the light is too bright using 60-watt bulbs. Please note: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE 60 WATT BULBS IF THAT IS TOO BRIGHT. YOU CAN GO DOWN TO 40-WATT IF YOU WANT A DIMMER LIGHT!!!! This is a fantastic lamp. I recommend it to everyone! It's perfect for bedroom with 40-watt and even 20-watt bulbs to give ambient light. PERFECT! November 29, 2008

80 pages of 129 art photographs featuring people, places and things. If it had to be put into a category, then the category would be urban landscape, however this book goes deeper than that. The collection is here to bring a celebration to the everyday and mundane, and bring a poetic sensibility and conscious stillness to those things so often overlooked. A few of the images in this book will offend some; however, when digested as a whole, the viewer is left with a sense of the subtleties of impermanence and the beauty of existence.

James Arthur "Jimmy" Sammons went into the arms of his heavenly father on Saturday, November 24, 2012 at the age of 46. He was the son of Luther Sammons and the late Bertha Caroline Sammons. He was preceded in death by his beloved grandson John V. Ryder Jr. "Johnny Blue".
James went to heaven and left behind his soul mate and wife of 26 years, Lori L. Sammons. Jimmy is also survived by his four loving daughters, the keys to his heart and son-in-laws; Nicole "Nikki" and Dantae Ramirez, Rebecca "Becky" Naylor and Ervin Hardy, Jacquelynn "Jackie" Naylor and Roger Drinks, Victoria "Vikky" Sammons and Sergio Wilkerson; and a very special son, John V. Ryder Sr.
James also leaves behind his grandbabies, the joys of his life; Cameron, Micah, Darrius, Nevaeh, Marcus, Rafael, Alyssa, Gabriel, Devon, Olivia, Ervin and R. Jay.
Lost without their baby brother are his brother and sisters and their spouses; Luther A. and Anita Sammons, Wanda and Anthony Seeney, Shelia and Herbert Pierce, and Brenda Sammons. He also leaves behind his goddaughter, Ashley Pierce and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends too numerous to name.
He will be missed by his nearly 5,000 friends on Facebook where he posted almost daily, "words of inspiration" until he became too ill to do so.
Please come dressed warm and comfortable to his celebration of life service at Immanuel Union United Methodist Church in Cheswold, Delaware on Sunday, December 2, 2012 at 1pm. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family.
The family asks in lieu of flower donations be made to Torbert Funeral Chapel. Letters of condolence may be sent, and guestbook signed at torbertfuneral.com

Our team provides unique treatment options based on each child's condition and needs. Learn more about the conditions we treat.
An EEG is a test that measures the electrical activity in the brain, called brain waves. A routine EEG happens at the hospital or doctor's office.
An ambulatory EEG measures the electrical signals of your child's brain while doing his everyday activities, such as playing with friends, watching TV and sleeping. Your child will have sensors on his scalp and carry a backpack with special equipment that records his brain signals.
A dense array EEG measures and records the brain's electrical activity by using up to 256 electrodes. By placing this many electrodes at key points on the patient's head, doctors are able to get a good approximation of where a child's seizures start.
An EMG is a test that is used to record the electrical activity of muscles.
Cortical stimulation is often used before surgery to help the neurosurgeon make decisions about what areas of the brain are affected by seizures. This process involves the placement of a grid on the brain. This grid has electrodes to help measure the electrical activity on the surface of the brain.
DTI uses computer technology to see the complex network of nerve fibers connecting the different areas of the brain. This technology can help surgeons plan for surgery.
The fMRI is a technology that takes advantage of measuring functional skills through the use of MRI technology.
The iMRI produces high-quality images that allow surgeons to better identify tumors and lesions during surgery.
The mock scanner allows patients to undergo practice MRI sessions with clinicians and child life specialists, helping to reduce their anxiety prior to going into the real scanner. It's also being used for clinical and research studies requiring functional MRI (fMRI).
The wada test is a highly specialized procedure that is part of the neuropsychological examination for epilepsy. This test helps doctors figure out dominance and evaluate memory function in each hemisphere of the brain. The procedure may be requested by an epileptologist in order to obtain more detailed information about the patient's memory abilities.

On being part of TV history "I began as a writing apprentice on The Cosby Show. It was exhilarating to depict African-American people never before seen on television."
On letting go of people pleasing "I lost my mother when I was 38 and miss her guidance. But recently I've realized it's time to stop looking for an example. I'm the elder now; my approval-seeking days are over."
On sexiness at fifty-something "I hear women my age say they feel invisible, but I disagree. I believe that it's important to put yourself out there. Look at Sophia Loren; she's in her seventies and still embraces her sensuality."
On how she keeps up her looks "Thanks to Clairol Nice 'n Easy Perfect 10 color [$12; drugstores], I have no clue how many grays I've got."
On her career mantra "The best advice I've ever received: 'If you're too comfortable, it's time to move on. Terrified of what's next? You're on the right track.' "

In the middle of the countryside outside Siena 4 su 5 stelle Recensita il 3 dicembre 2011 A warm and charming B&B some miles outside Siena, on a winding gravel road in the middle of the countryside. Laura and Luciano couldn't be more welcoming and helpful to all their guests. Rooms are adequate size, clean and comfortable, everyone went to bed early, the rooster comes around to wake you in the morning - it is great!! Five rooms are around a central great room in the main house, then 5 more are in a separate building nearer the pool. Breakfasts in the community dining room are delicious! Laura cooks several nights a week, and it is well worth sharing in those meals (extra charge, very reasonable for the quality)! She is a fine cook! Realize that you have to drive everywhere from here, but many of the charming hill towns in Tuscany are a reasonable drive away. We spent four nights here and were very glad we did!

Beautiful introduction to the Tuscan countryside 5 su 5 stelle Recensita il 3 novembre 2011. After some time in Florence, this was our introduction to the contryside of Tuscany. What a wonderful place. Laura and Luciano were great hosts, the room quiet, spacious and clean. The location is just south of Siena, and this provides a good base from which to explore the area. Opt for the dinner! This was a grand feast of outstanding quality. The wine selection is excellent also. Fresh and good food, prepared well! The breakfast was unbelievably plentiful. If you are staying around Siena with a car, stay at this marvelous B&B. Laura and Luciano will take good care of you * Ha soggiornato in Ottobre 2011, viaggiato in coppia o 5 su 5 stelle Qualità/prezzo o 5 su 5 stelle Posizione o 5 su 5 stelle Qualità del sonno o 5 su 5 stelle Stanze o 5 su 5 stelle Pulizia o 5 su 5 stelle Servizi

Terrific Tuscany Accommodation! 5 su 5 stelle Recensita il 26 ottobre 2011 NOVITÀ Google Traduttore The Il Canto's name was obtained from a Rick Steves Italy book, from which I've had very mixed results in the past. This B&B is not be be missed and we will stay here again. We can only offer glowing comments. It's a terrific location from which you can visit SIena and many other hill-towns and sights in Tuscany. The owners (Laura and Luciano) were as nice as could be and are naturals for this position. Their restored farmhouse accommodation offers an authentic Tuscany "feel". We travelled with two other couples and had separate bedroom/bath suites, connected by a separate living/sitting room. They cooked a wonderful dinner (25 Euros each) of typical Tuscan cuisine that included a spectacular table of numerous desserts. This is only by previous arrangement, and is not served daily. The breakfasts were fantastic and included many pastries, hot croissants, yogurt, eggs, fruit, etc. They had easy Wifi to use. These owners deserve all the business that this fabulous accommodation receives! * Ha soggiornato in Ottobre 2011, viaggiato con gli amici 5 su 5 stelle Qualità/prezzo 5 su 5 stelle Posizione 5 su 5 stelle Qualità del sonno 5 su 5 stelle Stanze 5 su 5 stelle Pulizia 5 su 5 stelle Servizi

A birthday celebration to remember ! 5 su 5 stelle Recensita il 23 ottobre 2011 We arrived at Il Canto del Sole on my husbands birthday. We were traveling with friends, and Luciano picked us up at the train station in Siena, as we had not yet rented a car. Both Laura and Luciano greeted us like 'long lost friends', and made us feel so welcome in their wonderful B&B. I had asked Laura if we could have a special bottle of wine for the birthday dinner, and IF possible some sort of birthday cake. We shared a lovely dinner (both Laura and Luciano are excellent cooks) and an excellent bottle of wine with our friends, and upon finishing our meal the lights were suddenly dimmed in the dining room, and Laura and Luciano came in from the kitchen with a beautiful cake. Everyone in the room started singing Happy Birthday while Laura and Luciano son's played happy birthday on the piano.....my husband was so surprised and pleased ! But, there's more. Our son, unknown to us, had been in contact with Laura to arrange a special birthday cake (and wine) for the celebration. The top of the cake had an image/photo (edible frosting) of our 3 year old grandson, with birthday wishes from all the family. It was just THE BEST surprise, and Laura went out of her way to make all the arrangements for the cake. This lovely B&B is more than a place to sleep and relax (quiet, peaceful, clean).....it is a place to connect with a wonderful Italian family who go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, meet your travel needs, and possibly teach you some Italian during your stay. Consiglio sulle camere: The rooms in the main house have a common living room area.....good for strategizing, and going over maps. There is also an outdoor balcony with table and chairs.....great place to watch the beautiful sunsets.

We were able to enjoy the immaculately clean pool and patios. Everything was superb. From breakfast to the dinner they made us one night. The comfort and class this place has compares to know other and the love that goes in to this place by the owners is reflected in everything that they provide. * Ha soggiornato in Settembre 2011, viaggiato in coppia

Two NEW items from APR!Posted on November 18, 2010 – 12:59 pm
We are very excited to share the release of two new items from APR!
Audi (B8) A4 & A5 2.0T Carbonio Intake System!
Carbonio's latest carbon fiber intake for the 2.0 TFSI & 1.8 TFSI engine is a ram air design that completely seperates the intake filter from the engine bay. Building from years of experience on and off the race track, Carbonio's and APR's engineering teams have spent countless hours
developing a true cold air and ram air carbon fiber design that can be recreated affordably for the street performance enthusiast.
For many years professional motorsport organizations have suffered great expense to properly tune the air intake delivery system for turbocharged engines for use in endurance and sprint races where every last horsepower and pound feet of torque can make the difference in position when crossing the finish line. Historically these designs have proven to be the most efficient and powerful although the most expensive to produce.
Aftermarket performance companies have attempted to capitalize on these designs however the cost restraints have typically resulted in compromise and deviation from the true engineering principles associated with motorsport accomplishment. Don't be fooled by catch phrases and tag lines alluding to a new intake technology or special design characteristic. You won't see any of these gimmicks installed on race cars at the Nurburgring.
Carbonio and APR have gone even further to maintain all oem specifications necessary to integrate cohesively with an otherwise stock engine to avoid raising eyebrows at the dealership. Flexibility was another characteristic of Carbonio's and APR's design whereas the new TFSI intake is also suitable for Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified engines all the way up to and beyond APR's K04 Turbocharger System.
Constructed of aerospace grade carbon fiber and designed to remove intake restriction, APR's Carbonio intake system provides smoother transitional airflow, increased air velocity, superior insulation of the incoming air to reduce intake air temperatures and a larger volume of available air to aid throttle response and turbocharger spool.
Ram air induction is accomplished by maintaining the oem air inlet opening at the front of the leading hood edge which is the highest pressure area of airflow across the entire vehicle. Placement of the air filter as close to this high pressure zone as possible results in overcoming some of the airflow restriction created by even the highest flow air filters available.
Benefits of the Carbonio CAI System include:
- Increased Horsepower and Torque
- Improved Throttle Response
- Decreased Turbo 'Lag'
- Improved Fuel Economy
- Enhanced Engine Volumetric Efficiency
- Enhanced Sound of Turbo Diverter Valve
- Installs in an Hour (does not require bumper or headlight removal)
- Maintains Clean Appearance by Retaining Factory Engine Cover
- Maintains All Factory Emissions Components
- Fits Both Manual and Automatic Transmissions
- Fully Compatible and Complimentary with APR Software and Exhaust systems
Application Guide
Fits both B8 A4 and A5 2.0 TFSI and 1.8 TFSI.
Part Number: CI100021
Price: $449.00
Audi (B8) A4 Quad-Tip Turbo-Back & Cat-Back Exhaust System!
Reflective Sound Cancellation allows for maximum exhaust gas flow while completely eliminating in cabin sound resonance (drone). RSC™ incorporates innovative technologies developed in conjunction with NASA. With limited use of packing materials and no baffles, RSC™ allows for a completely straight and free flowing exhaust path through the RSC™ mufflers. Reflective Cancellation bounces the undesirable sound waves into each other to attenuate the wave and completely eliminate the low frequency tones that create drone. Each RSC™ muffler is tuned to eliminate specific, undesirable sound frequencies allowing only the engine's desirable exhaust notes to be heard and improving performance.
3″ Design with High Flow Catalytic Converters
APR's 3 inch downpipe with high flow catalyst for the A4 2.0 TFSI is the first true downpipe for the A4 and the only one that incorporates traditional exhaust performance tuning for the new 2.0 TFSI engine. Other 2.0 TFSI engine applications outside of the A4 chassis have historically enjoyed the following benefits that have never before been made available to A4 owners:
-3 inch Exhaust Tubing Diameter beginning at the Turbocharger Exit for Maximum Turbocharger Spool and Peak Horsepower
-Relocation of the Catalyst to Reduce Backpressure and Turbulent Airflow at the Turbocharger
-Incorporation of a 200 Cell Count Catalyst to aid in Turbocharger Spool and Remove Restriction
-Considerable Increases in Peak Horsepower, Peak Torque and Fuel Economy
APR is proud to offer the only true 3 inch full length downpipe available for the 2.0 TFSI A4 which delivers true exhaust Performance Without Compromise.
By utilizing a straight though design, APR is able to maximize power gains when coupled with APR's Stage 2 ECU Upgrade without uncomfortable levels of exhaust drone while cruising.
During our development we discovered the exhaust systems flowed so well modifications to the software were absolutely required when using the new RSC systems. Spool time was significantly decreased and would result in a rather large overshoot of requested load levels which would cause the throttle to close. This can only be eliminated by properly recalibrating the engine software to match the hardware changes and APR's Stage 2 ECU Upgrade is born.
The benefits of APR's Stage 2 ECU Upgrade with APR's RSC Dual Exit Full Exhaust System are as follows:
1. Turbocharger Boost Onset Reduced by Over 400 rpm's!
2. Peak Torque is Increased by Over 100 lb ft when Compared to Stock Exhaust and Programming and by Over 70 lb ft when Compared to APR's Stage 1 ECU Upgrade and Stock Exhaust!
3. Peak Horsepower is Increased by Over 50hp when Compared to Stock Exhaust and Programming and by 29hp when Compared to APR's Stage 1 ECU Upgrade and Stock Exhaust!
We tested both our Dual Exit and Single Exit RSC Exhaust Systems and found the Dual Exit RSC System to deliver slightly more horsepower in the higher rpm's as expected.
Now for the numbers as measured by APR!
Stock – 212 HP & 260 TQ
Stage 1 91 Octane – 229 HP & 323 TQ
Stage 2 91 Octane – 239 HP & 353 TQ
Stage 1 93 Octane – 234 HP & 333 TQ
Stage 2 93 Octane – 242 HP & 362 TQ
Stage 1 100 Octane – 268 HP & 338 TQ
Stage 2 100 Octane – 270 HP & 380 TQ
The most impressive aspect of APR's Stage 1 and 2 ECU Upgrades are the gains they make over
stock at different RPM's:
Stage 1 91 Octane – 35 HP @ 5500 RPM & 64 TQ @ 2250 RPM
Stage 2 91 Octane – 43 HP @ 2650 RPM & 86 TQ @ 2650 RPM
Stage 1 93 Octane – 40 HP @ 5500 RPM & 74 TQ @ 2250 RPM
Stage 2 93 Octane – 46 HP @ 2550 RPM & 95 TQ @ 2550 RPM
Stage 1 100 Octane – 62 HP @ 5500 RPM & 78 TQ @ 2500 RPM
Stage 2 100 Octane – 64 HP @ 5550 RPM & 114 TQ @ 2650 RPM
Dyno Performance
Please note, single exit and Dual Exit exhaust reported similar gains

Baltimore County News

There's nothing like the 4th of July for a chance to relax and enjoy time with family and friends and celebrate all things American. Baltimore County has some of the best parades and fireworks celebrations anywhere!
From the BSO's Star-Spangled Spectacular to the many community parades and fireworks displays, you don't have to go far from home to enjoy those great Independence Day traditions.
by Marjorie Hampson
Baltimore County Tourism Director
The 4th of July is a holiday that Americans know how to celebrate. Fireworks, cookouts, and parades can be found in communities throughout the country, but I don't think there are many places that can throw a 4th of July Parade better than Baltimore County.
It all starts off in Dundalk, where an entire community gets out of bed to start their Independence Day with an 8:15 parade that is a 78 year old tradition. The parade runs all throughout historic Dundalk, but it all begins at the Logan Village Shopping Center. For a parade route click here.
A little over an hour later, we shut down our County Seat at 10:30 a.m. for a parade that brings together all the bands and floats from the Towson area. The route runs from Bosley Avenue to Allegheny to Washington.
Next, we head over to the west side of the County for the Arbutus Parade, which runs through Arbutus' historic downtown on East Drive at 12:30 sharp and shows off its residents' patriotism with some of the biggest American flags you'll ever see.
Finally, our parades wrap up on Frederick Road in Catonsville at 3:00 p.m. with a parade so popular that residents reserve their spots along the parade route with chairs weeks in advance. It may be too late to get your chair out there, but its not too late to find a good vantage point, just make sure to get there early.
So no matter where you call home, if you're serious about celebrating our nation's birthday in style, then Baltimore County is the place to be this 4th of July. I can't wait to see you on the parade routes, but remember, you have to bring your own sunscreen.

This is a very young project, so setting our milestones will help us maintain our direction.
Please stay constructive, treat everyone with respect -- no flaming or baiting
Communication: discussion
- Find a more appropriate logo
- The "people being shown a presentation" logo is nice, but probably not what we want to use forever. If anyone can create a logo (and license it to us for our possible use as our trademark), we could use it.
- Perhaps incorporate a lightbulb, which is what the USPTO uses as their favicon?
- Understand community motivations
- Add motivations to the Motivations page.
- write about us in your blog
- Understand USPTO motivations
- Add motivations to the Motivations page.
- stick to existing classifications schemes for computers and computer software
- Define "use-cases"
- "software developer" use-case
- "software user" use-case
- "USPTO examiner" use-case
- What are the steps taken during a examination?
- Build a "tagging" prototype
- What would a "tagging wizard" look like?
- What would the container look like? (probably XML RDF)
- Break tags into "system", "component", "algo" areas
ensure source code can be used as prior art
From the official website: Establishing electronic publication practices that any software author can use to ensure their source code can be used as prior art.
Timestamping can give the evidence that some source code already existed at some given date. So we need to give evidence that such source code also has been publicly available at that date. The project prevalent.de already offers applications for timestamping. A simple idea might be to run them on the whole of sourceforge every night. But then: How do we store the timestamps in a secure way, usable in court?
locate relevant electronically published source code
From the official webiste: Creating search mechanisms and interfaces that allow patent examiners and others to more easily locate relevant electronically published source code and its related documentation.
- I don't know. How do they do it with all the millions of books an magazines? Probably they just grant it and wait for objections? So we could write those?
"tagging" system
Also from the official website: Developing a "taxonomy" or "tagging" system that can be used by software developers, patent examiners and others to describe and help locate relevant source code and documentation.
- This sounds like categorisation of software .. well, maybe just make the USPTO to offer free discussions about recently published patent-applications on their own website and encourage the community to post all evidences they know?
- Add historical computer hardware/software information to Wikipedia. There is a -lot- of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s, and even in the 70s and 80s, that is very difficult to find. (For example, some compilers, garbage collectors, and demand-paged operating systems were created in the 50s.)
- Convince organizations to publish old software, manuals, and technical reports.
here we might find useful ideas for our project:
- prevalent.de Software-Patent search, rating, prior-art database, community objection writing and free timestamping
- Prior-Art Database prototype appears to be in its infancy, but includes some timestamping capability.
- Search Patents Use the free Guest account to search the GetThePatent.com worldwide patent database for prior art.

- Ensure that identified security risks in an implementation are properly considered
- Designer
- As required
Assign issue to investigator
When a security issue is identified in a system, further investigation should be assigned to the appropriate designer if it can be determined from known information about the problem. Otherwise, it should be assigned to the chief architect until the determination of the most appropriate designer can be made.
Assess likely exposure and impact
If the problem exists in released software and was reported by a security researcher, attempt to reproduce the exploit in order to determine whether the vulnerability actually exists. If it cannot be reproduced, work with the researcher to determine whether the problem does not actually exist or whether it could have been a side effect of something in the researcher's test environment.
When reproducing the exploit is too difficult or when there is no risk of disclosure, at least determine whether there is enough evidence to demonstrate that the vulnerability is likely to exist.
Determine the circumstances when the vulnerability could potentially be exploited in order to get a sense of the overall risk level, focusing on the following:
- Which builds of the product contain the risk, if any?
- Which configuration options are required in order for the risk to exist?
- What must the operational environment look like for the risk to be relevant?
This information will allow you to determine how many customers will - or would be - at risk.
Determine what the worst case and likely consequences are for the risk. From this information, determine how responding to this risk will be handled from a resourcing perspective. That is, will it be handled at all, immediately, or at a particular point in time? Further: Will there be an effort to provide more immediate remediation guidelines to customers while a permanent patch is being devised?
If the risk involves software that may be in use by other vendors in their products, contact either the vendors directly or a coordinating body - such as the CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) coordination center.
Determine and execute remediation strategies
Identify how the problem is to be addressed, in the short term and in the long term, if the short-term solution is not a permanent fix. Incorporate the task of addressing the problem into the development lifecycle if appropriate.
If part or all of the remediation strategy involves implementing external controls, task an appropriate party to document the implementation of those controls in the operational security guide.
The architect should review all remediation strategies that impact the code base before they are implemented in order to ensure that they are valid in the context of the entire system.
Validation of remediation
Perform testing to ensure that the risk was properly addressed. This should include production of regression tests meant to detect the vulnerability if accidentally introduced. See the CLASP activity on testing for more information.

Beautifully Made with Finest Materials
I purchased this desk pad for a solid wood desk that deserved only the finest, and this is certain it. The leather is their "always 2nd to none", not a hint of leather imperfection, the battleship linoleum is so thick, unbendable and sleek-smooth and the bottom side is thickly covered to protect the desk. The finest quality I've ever seen. Prior to purchase, I emailed Bosca customer service on proper size of desk pad. They were so very helpful and quick to respond. The best quality and service I've ever experienced!

Rated 4 out of 5 by whiskeycutter Look great in my log house I use these with the attachable liners otherwise they only filter the light. These look nice but I think they are a bit pricey.

Understanding the economic lifespan of lift trucks
July 01, 2012 - LM Editorial
It can be said that the recent economic downturn was the catalyst of modern fleet management, forcing lift truck fleet owners to analyze their operations in ways they never had before.
Not only has the market seen tremendous advancements in fleet tracking and monitoring technology, but it has also witnessed the evolution of lift truck financing options. Savvy customers have developed an understanding of a truck's economic lifespan, and lately more are focusing on the beginning of that life—the moment when a signature finalizes a purchase, rental, or lease.
Because that moment can make or break a company's efforts to optimize its fleet over the coming years, Logistics Management spoke with industry analysts and lift truck finance experts to help readers prepare for that pivotal stroke of the pen.
"When a business considers acquiring a new piece of lift equipment, that's akin to a consumer considering whether to buy, lease, or rent a new car," says Jonathan Kipp, relationship manager with GE Capital. Few consumers would rent a car just to get to work, or lease a backup vehicle, and fleet owners would be wise to avoid these situations as well.
Currently, many more lift truck customers lease rather than rent or buy outright, according to Kipp. "Many of the benefits of leasing apply just as much to small businesses as to Fortune 500 companies," he says. "Leases can be structured to maximize cash benefits in addition to helping address a maze of tax and accounting rules, while mitigating many risks and expenses of asset ownership."
Although the affordability and predictability of leasing offers improved cash management and flexibility, some customers still cling to the historical perception of leasing as a restrictive agreement destined to produce huge end-of-term bills.
However, as customers become more devoted to squeezing each and every penny from their fleets, so have equipment finance partners
developed products around the same goal. Along with the fairly straightforward processes of buying, renting, and leasing, customers can now pursue pay-by-the-hour leases, unconventional term lengths, negotiable lease provisions, and on-the-fly term extensions or monthly payment adjustments.
None of these options is a guaranteed success, but with a comprehensive understanding of the lift truck's application and a working relationship with a finance partner, fleet owners will be ahead of the curve.
When and how to buy
Not long ago, more customers were buying outright than leasing, says Jeff Bailey, director of Crown Credit Company. "It has been a very trying last few years," says Bailey. "During the recession, there wasn't a lot of anything going on."
There was pent-up demand, he says, and a lot of companies had cash built up—so, many bought outright. Government incentives for capital expenses contributed to the recovery. "Now we're trending differently," says Bailey. "Now it's flip-flopping again, and more customers are leasing."
For Brian Markison, senior manager for national accounts at Nissan Forklift, the decision of whether to buy or lease hinges on how quickly the customer will consume the economic life of the asset. If the answer is "quickly," then lease. If the lift truck will only be used 1,000 hours per year, don't lease. Instead, the customer might buy or rent long-term.
Another consideration, says Markison, is whether the asset in question is a specialty item or has a robust secondary market. If not, it might be best to buy.
Bill Buckhout, Marketing Manager for Raymond Leasing Corporation, says the customer niche that buys equipment should have an application where equipment will last a long time, maybe as much as 20 years. "For all the right reasons, a customer who would like to pay in cash should not buy outright," says Buckhout. "They might consider a single-payment lease, but then they'll have to plan for that equipment to go away at some point. All kinds of bad things can happen when people try to buy something with a finite economic life."
When and how to rent
Rentals for any length of time, whether one day or one year, require the customer to pay a premium for the convenience of returning a lift truck at their leisure. While rentals can provide great flexibility, they are also more costly.
"Short-term rentals must be just that—no more than two to three months," says Markison. "A customer who keeps renewing these agreements can spend as much in one year as the asset would cost to buy outright."
Some customers slip into this cycle accidentally, he says. Rental expenses might come from a different budget than capital expenses, and might be subject to less scrutiny as a result. "I've seen operations with rental trucks that corporate didn't even know about," says Markison. However, if a company is strongly averse to a commitment of more than 12 months to 24 months, a long-term rental might be appropriate, he says.
Tina Goodwin, director of financial services for NACCO Material Handling Group, has a different rubric. "When I look at renting, I think of a customer with seasonal peaks who needs a truck for just a month or two at a time," she says. "That's the only time I would recommend renting."
Realistically, however, customers often end up in long-term rentals if they can't find the right lease agreement to satisfy internal provisions, or if for any reason a rental is not subject to the same internal scrutiny, as in the case of Markison's customer.
"Otherwise, there are essentially no advantages to the customer over a lease for the same term," says Goodwin.
When and how to lease
Back when businesses were flush and lift trucks languished at the bottom of the list of priorities, lease agreements were executed hastily as a matter of housekeeping. Canned agreements rarely lined up with the disparate realities of the lift truck's application, and leasing ended up with the reputation it is still working to shed.
"The lessee's viewpoint was that leasing was just a ticket to get taken at the end of the deal," says Bailey. "Now it's a very desirable program. We quote leasing options on every sale."
According to Kipp, the equipment finance industry continues to be a powerful engine for the U.S. economy, driving manufacturing and service sector supply chains across the country. In fact, the Equipment Leasing and Financing Association (ELFA) estimates that last year U.S. businesses, non-profits and government agencies financed $628 billion of capital goods or fixed business investments, up 21 percent from the year before.
"Companies that are in business today have worked hard, made smart choices, and navigated many challenges to get to this point," says Kipp. "In my opinion, companies are carefully managing their working capital and they're aware of the need to keep sufficient liquidity on hand. One of the ways they can manage their cash is by taking advantage of the benefits of
leasing equipment rather than buying it."
Leasing today looks very different than the landscape even a decade ago, when Bailey says some customers "had no idea a lease was expiring until a salesman came out to visit." Especially after the credit crunch, customers are looking for consolidated services—equipment, maintenance, and financing—from the OEMs.
"Customers are starting to get smart about tracking their fleet, and that's changing things," says Bailey. Eric Gabriel, senior manager of sales operations for MCFA, says customers should begin with an application survey and structure the lease around the available data.
"We want to bring precision to that agreement for our customer, and the more precisely they know the application, the better," says Gabriel. "Replacement should be happening at the exact right moment."
Now, instead of traditional three-, four-, or five-year leases, customers can enter a 39-month term, says Markison, if that's what works for their application. Still, too many customers rely on faulty—and costly—assumptions.
"It's common for customers to sign an agreement for 2,000 hours per year and end up returning a really nice piece of equipment with 5,000 fewer hours than they paid for," says Markison. "Unfortunately, customers assume that because an operator is paid for eight hours a day that magically the forklift will be used for 2,000 hours per year—when in reality it is probably much less."
Goodwin says she sees customers on almost a daily basis who keep lift trucks far too long. One customer averages about 4,000 hours per truck per year. They requested a five-year lease, which means they'll return equipment with 20,000 hours on it.
"That's just unheard of," says Goodwin. "The whole purpose of leasing is to use the truck for its economic life. The maintenance costs in that scenario would be huge, and the monthly payments for the lease are going to be comparable to buying the truck outright." That customer should be on a 36-month term, says Goodwin, but is fixated on the lowest possible monthly payments. The same fixation can lead customers to shop different leasing companies for the lowest payment despite huge differences in the structure of the lease. "That customer comes back to us within a couple of years and says they got a huge bill for all sorts of nickels and dimes at the end of the term," says Goodwin.
