Burn de microphones Lyrics by Don Johnson Big Band
Burn de microphones by Don Johnson Big Band
I'm crossing tracks
painting tags on the walls of the metro
paradoxical truths like modern day retro
water and petrol, protons and electrodes
reality I let go with pro-con anecdotes
thoughts shifting from topic to topic
skip it, hop it, flip-flip I flop it
catch a beat just to drop it
give me a door and I'll lock it, knock it
a floor and I'll mop it
the beat is rotating, rotating, I can't stop it
cities aflame, war games and internal conflicts
guerrilla warfare and insurrection bomb hits
eternal conflicts of hatred and sword explored
all aboard the m/s Lord, errors ignored
how many registered votes for the poor and illiterate?
allow me to reiterate my concern for the bitter fate
of poverty-stricken cities you choose to discriminate
how inconsiderate to set a rate to eliminate
a culture you gave root to you now disintegrate
can't let it blossom, can't let it proceed to a better state
no need to mitigate, clean up the graffiti and incinerate
every page of social commentary by rappers you litigate
now I got you listening to my hip-notic hop device
words glistening and they flow like melting ice
I'm like the cool urban cat that can't catch any mice
Vegas lice, casino hustler with no dice
poor like Dice raw, energetic once more
no contour, unapologetic on tour
twice or less, seeking success and its price
throw a slice of the wedding cake
and wonder where the rice is
in para-lysis with para-vices
like Isis with a fertility crisis
getting adverse advice from a demon that entices
the mind and the body like erotic license
the measure of intensity intensified
to a point where only pleasure and pain cleanse the mind
hence, to find, pause, forward, rewind
some sense behind the senseless grind
of the millions of humbled unconscious civilians
enslaved by the politics of palaces, pavilions
officers, batallions, provoking rebellions
decorated head-to-toe with medals and medillions
turn off the lights and disconnect the cables
burn the microphones and bury the turntables
words, fatal revolution lables
dangerous fables

Has anyone had any experience using Thrifty car rental at the Pisa Airport? How was the experience? I am really asking because I didn't have a great experience with them in Rome about 10 years ago and am a little leery about using them again but their prices are pretty good through Autoeurope. Please offer advice . Thanks

Reviews of Thrifty Car Rental in Pisa
Report Abuse
I can't vouch specifically for them, but if Autoeurope is using them, and that is where I wanted to pick up/drop off a car, I would be fine with it. I expect the Pisa airport facility will be considerably less busy than Rome. Are you leery because of the people you worked with, the level of service, the availability of vehicles, the quality of vehicle, or what? Is it something you fear permeates the company philosophy or standards, or was it just a bad day for someone?
Report Abuse
I warn against using Thrifty who at Pisa are associated with Dollar, Auto Europa ad Sicily by Car. We hired in July 2013 and believe we have been scammed. Our car was hired out to us with dents in three out of four corners. Eefore driving away we immediately reported other dents - they said 'no problem' -however when we got home found we have been charged 600 euros for bogus repairs. On top of that we returned the tank full as agreed - and have been charged an additional 75 euros for fillng the tank. All charges being disputed. in 25 years of hiring cars regularly I have never experienced anything like this.

I am very loyal to my pillow.
Once I find a good one, I use it, and only it until I can use it no longer.
I recently retired my long time pillow and have gone through several replacements (more than I'd like to admit!) in a short period of time. Unfortunately, none of them have met my high pillow standards.
The most recent pillow replacement I had tried was a memory foam contour pillow, and it was close, but it wasn't quite right for me.
My main challenge is that I'm a side sleeper. My pillow has to be firm, but comfortable. A little bit cushy, but still supportive.
None of my recently purchased pillows fit the bill and I was starting to feel a little bit like Goldilocks.
Thankfully, along came Technogel and their amazing anatomic pillow.
Technogel® is a unique "soft solid" material, combining together 3D deformation properties of a fluid and memory shape properties of a solid body. It is a completely non-toxic and stable polyurethane substance originally developed for medical purposes and currently used in a wide range of applications, which benefit from the comfort and added value it provides. – TechnogelWorld.com
My Experience with Technogel
I selected the anatomic pillow from Technogel because it was suggested for back and side sleepers.
Ding Ding! That's me!
When the pillow arrived and I took it out of the box, I was shocked at how solid it was.
Now, we're not talking solid as a rock, but you could tell that this pillow was made out of something special — and that something was HEAVY!
From the very first night I used the new Technogel pillow, I loved it.
Technogel got it right for side sleepers with their anatomic pillow.
It's firm enough so that your head doesn't sink down too far, the gel cushions so that it's comfortable and it contours just enough (but not too much) so that your head and neck are aligned and fully supported while on your side or back.
I've had amazing sleep since getting my Technogel pillow and couldn't be more pleased with it.
Technogel® Product Specs:
- is hypo-allergenic;
- is odorless;
- has shape memory;
- is non-flammable;
- is plasticizer-free;
- does not expand with air, but remains compact;
- is non-toxic and it does not irritate the skin;
- is stable and long lasting;
- adapts to body shape;
- offers an excellent 3D pressure distribution
- is a comfortable and soft support;
- helps to avoid body overheating.
The pillow also comes with a removable cover which is so easy to unzip off and toss in the washer when you need to.
Ready? Buy from Technogel

Hernandez to be arraigned on double-murder charge Wednesday
It's been almost two weeks since former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was indicted for a July 2012 double-murder drive-by shooting. On Wednesday, he'll be arraigned, according to the AP.
More NFL offseason: League minicamp dates | Latest news, notes
It's been almost two weeks since former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was indicted for a July 2012 double-murder drive-by shooting that took place on the streets of Boston. According to the Associated Press, Hernandez will be arraigned Wednesday.
"Mr. (Daniel) Abreu and Mr. (Safiro) Furtado were ambushed and executed as they drove home. Aaron Hernandez is the principal, the shooter, and the person responsible for taking the lives of the two victims," Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said in a May 15 press conference.
Conley explained that as Abreu and Furtado left a nightclub around 2 a.m., they were followed by Hernandez, who was in an SUV. As Abreau and Furtado stopped a red light, the SUV that carried Hernandez pulled up on the right and Hernandez opened fire with a .38 caliber revolver. Abreu, who was driving, was shot multiple times, including a fatal shot to the chest. Furtado, in the front passenger seat, was also shot multiple times, including a fatal shot to the head. Three of the five passengers in the car were shot.
"For us, the case was never about Aaron Hernandez," Conley said, "but about two victims who were stalked, ambushed and murdered."
It has been previously reported that the weapon used in the shooting was found last August. And two months after that, a man who survived the drive-by shooting identified Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end, as the man who pulled the trigger.
According to relatives of the two men killed in the shooting (and later corroborated by the District Attorney), neither knew Hernandez. Both worked for a cleaning company and didn't have criminal records.
Hernandez is currently in jail awaiting trial on first-degree murder charges for the shooting death of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez has previously pleaded not guilty to killing Lloyd.

Complaint: I purchased a home from Soundbuilt homes. The landscaper who was hired to landscape my yard by Soundbuilt homes before I moved in designed my lawn with a section of grass that clearly was designed to have a sprinkler head on my lawn. The sprinkler head was attached to my neighbor's sprinkler system and was directed at his lawn. After reporting this to Soundbuilt homes they state that the sprinkler is infact on my neighbors property even though it is attached to my lawn and was clearly designed to water my lawn. The refuse to repair this defect in landscaping. So hI have aproximately 15 square feet of lawn that they claim is on my neighbors property that I am now supposed to maintain and my lawn is not receiving water to this area.
Desired Settlement: I would like to have a sprinlker head placed on my property where it was clearly designed to fit, and I would like all of the grass that they now claim is not on my property attached to my neighbors yard rather than to mine.

Additional Notes
Complaint: I'm sure the reviews on Yelp, and others online have already made it clear that people are unsatisfied with SoundBuilts' work. But let me give you my reasons. First, as someone who is supposed to be OUR voice, the buyer, and the liaison between me and the builders, in terms of making sure we are happy and that everything is taken care of you, their customer service rep ****** is absolutely abysmal. If there could be a lower customer service rating than far below average, she would be even lover than that. I can't begin to tell you how frustrated my wife and I have been with her in terms of her response. Heck, we don't even GET responses from her unless we get fed up and have to make a call. Case in point? I've sent her images of all the things wrong with the house, even taken the time to send pictures for proof to go with it, and I've heard nothing. Not a "we'll get on that," or even a simple, "got your email." No, she's as silent as a deserts night. And the company? I don't know who's worse, to tell you the truth. The shabby craftsmanship just blows my MIND. We have nails sticking out of the carpet every which way. I can't trust my baby to crawl around the house, in fear of something stabbing him. That should be the LAST thing on your mind when you move into a new house, your child getting picked by hundreds of nails! In addition to that, how long must we live without proper ventilation from the microwave out the house? Drawls without covers or stops. KEYS to the mailbox that were promised to us (we STILL can't get our mail!). And to top it of, their crack team of builders also never called the cable and Internet company to lay the wiring under the house for us to receive cable and Internet. Something that should have been done WHILE the house was being built. So now WE have to call and get it done. And WE have to wait over a month for the service to be completed. And WE have to be the one to live in an unfinished, no ventilation, no drawers and no internet house. But again, I'm sure this is nothing new to those guys. If it wasn't, I'm sure the response from them would be much sooner. But since it's an everyday thing, it's easiest, I assume, to brush it to the side as "just another complaint."
Desired Settlement: Finish everything you promised you would. And be a preputsble business.
Business Response:
Soundbuilt's policy prior to closing is to schedule with the new buyers a new home orientation, with our customer service tech. This is a walk through of the entire house, in which our tech points out and discuss the items home owners need to know and gives the buyers an opportunity to note any defects that they would like to have fixed. When Soundbuilt completes the items the buyers and our tech meet again at the house to go over the items and the buyer signs off indicating that the items are completed. The ***** orientation was on Sept. 24, 2015 and sign off was Sept. 29, 2015. I have enclosed a copy of this document. At the sign off it was noted that the window screens had not been install and the kitchen cabinet door and drawer was not completed. The buyer was informed that for him to close on time Sept 30, 2015 we would have him sign that those two items were still in process. The cabinet and drawer are custom made so they needed to be rebuilt. This was delivered and installed Oct. 15, 2015 and the screens were installed Oct. 21, 2015. Since that time Mr. *** has sent in an additional list of items he wanted repaired. Our customer service tech was scheduled on Oct. 23, 2015 and completed all the additional items except the light fixture in the entry way. The fixture had to be ordered. I called and spoke to ******** on Oct. 23, 2015 to let her know that the fixture was on order and that upon arrival our electrician would schedule a time to install it. At this time that is the only item that has been requested by Mr. *** that Soundbuilt has not completed.
The home Mr. *** purchased was cable ready. As a curtsey to the cable carrier Soundbuilt runs a conduit between the house and the street for the cable company to run their wires though. During the home orientation this conduit was shown and explained to the buyer.
I am sorry that Soundbuilt did not meet Mr. ***** expectations in the time he felt appropriate however Soundbuilt has responded to all his requests. As stated earlier Soundbuilt will replace the entry way light fixture as soon as possible.

Additional Notes
Complaint: My house was built by Sound Built homes. The roof was not built to code to allow for proper venting. I discovered this problem and contacted the home warranty company that carried the warranty. They said Craftsmanship was not covered. When I contacted Sound Built Homes directly they refused to accept any responsibility for this oversight. After repeated attempts I contacted the State Attorney General who thought I had a vaild complaint. Sound Built Homes simply ignored the complaint from the AG's office. I am now contacting you to hopefully help me make this issue right.
Desired Settlement: I have since had to get the roof fixed myself at a cost of $4000 as I could not delay having a working roof at this time of the year. I would like Sound Built Home to reimburse me for my loss.
Business Response:
The following is Soundbuilt Homes' response to Mr. ********* complaint ******** submitted 10/9/15.
Two different roofing companies told me the cause of my failed roof was due to the builder not installing proper venting. It is not due to age or lack of maintenance. It is due to improper building. Nobody else but the builder can be held responsible for poor building practice.

At the end of the first year Soundbuilt responded to the home owners request for the items he requested repairs on covered under the warranty. This warranty expired 12/2012. The State of Washington RCW's regarding claims for construction defect states that " In contract actions the applicable contract statue of limitations expire, regardless of discovery, six years after substantial completion of construction" Since the State of Washington statue of limitations expired in 12/2008 and all warranty included in the purchase and sales agreement expired 12/2012, Soundbuilt is not responsible for any repairs to this home. Soundbuilt will take no action regarding this issue. Final Consumer Response /* (2000, 21, 2014/01/22) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)

Mexican report links former presidencies to 'crimes against humanity'
MEXICO CITY -- The Mexican government on Saturday released a long-awaited report that for the first time officially blamed "the highest command levels" of three former presidencies for the massacres, tortures and slayings of hundreds of leftists from the 1960s to the 1980s.
The report ends a five-year investigation by a special prosecutor named by President Vicente Fox to shed light on past crimes, including a 1968 student massacre and the disappearance of hundreds of leftist activists in the 1970s and early 1980s.
The authoritarian regime, at the highest command levels, broke the law and committed "crimes against humanity" that resulted in "massacres, forced disappearances, systematic torture and genocide to try to destroy a sector of society that it considered ideologically to be its enemy," said the report, based partly on declassified Mexican military documents.
Special prosecutor Ignacio Carrillo, who was appointed in November 2001, handed his report to the Attorney General's Office late Friday. It was later posted on the Internet for the public, and Carrillo said it would be presented at a ceremony with Fox before he leaves office Dec. 1.
The incidents occurred during the administrations of Presidents Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, Jose Lopez Portillo and Luis Echeverria.
Asked by The Associated Press if the presidents knew of the atrocities but did nothing, Carrillo replied, "Yes."
Carrillo said the report is only the beginning -- that the Mexican government must prosecute those responsible if it is to prevent such atrocities from occurring in the future. The state also must compensate victims' families, he said.
"This was not about the behavior of certain individuals," Carrillo said. "It was the consequence of an authorized plan to do away with political dissidents."
Fox vowed to prosecute Mexico's past crimes when he was elected in 2000, ending 71 years of single-party rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.
But the courts have repeatedly blocked Carrillo's efforts to detain Echeverria, the only implicated president who is still living. Echeverria, 84, has denied any wrongdoing.
In July, a federal judge threw out genocide charges against Echeverria, ruling that a 30-year statute of limitations had run out.
Echeverria had been under house arrest for more than a week on charges that he organized a student massacre as interior secretary in 1968. The charges were the first to have been filed against a former Mexican president.
The massacre took place in Mexico City's Tlatelolco Plaza on Oct. 2, just before the capital hosted the Olympics. Officials said 25 people were killed, though human rights activists say as many as 350 may have died. The attack is considered one of the darkest moments of PRI rule.
Carrillo also has attempted to bring charges against Echeverria, president from 1970 to 1976, for a 1971 student massacre and for the disappearance of leftist activists in the southern state of Guerrero.
Kate Doyle, a Mexico expert at the Washington-based National Security Archive, a private, nonpartisan research group, said the report is a "powerful development" because for the first time the government "officially lays the blame at the feet of three Mexican presidents."
It "clearly describes in detail how the authoritarian regime" of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, "used violence to silence the opposition," while painting an image to the world that it was running a democracy, she said.
The report tones down an earlier version leaked on the Internet in February that stated military bases under Echeverria's rule served as "concentration camps" for the elimination of leftists and suspected guerrilla fighters.
Carrillo said Saturday that wording was too strong and did a disservice to victims of the Holocaust.
But the report is the first time "the state has judged itself" and found former presidents and the presidential guard were behind the atrocities, Carrillo said.


text:
Yesterday was a busy day for military reporters. Around noon the House Armed Services Committee began hearings detailing what one congressman called "a culture that allowed pervasive sexual abuse of [young female] recruits [by their instructors]" at a Texas Air Force base. Then, late in the afternoon, came a press release from outgoing secretary of defense Leon Panetta who announced he is striking down the 1994 Combat Exclusion Law, the law that stipulates "women shall be excluded from assignment to units below the brigade level whose primary mission is to engage in direct combat on the ground."
Guess which story got wall to wall coverage? Somewhere David Axelrod is smoking a cigar.
Back in the present, Panetta's announcement is historic and will give him a nice line for his bio but it is still conveniently vague. The devil is always in the details with these things and there are, so far, few details. We know that Special Forces are not excluded from Panetta's plan, but the guys in the SEALs can cling to the sentence about "exceptions being allowed." There is, however, one paragraph that I find distinctly ominous. It's the part about each service being "charged with developing policies to integrate women into every military job." Army Times quotes a defense official who says, "For instance, it's likely the Army will establish a set of physical requirements for infantry soldiers. The candidate, man or woman, will have to lift a certain amount of weight in order to qualify. The standards will be gender neutral."
Erm . . .What's wrong with current physical requirement standards for infantry soliders? Is this official implying that more woman-friendly standards will have to be developed? The male/female upper-body strength difference is by now tediously well documented. There is no question that the average woman (and yes the average enlistee is often quite average indeed) especially in our overweight times, will have difficulty, say, carrying a wounded comrade to safety and walking for days dressed in full "battle rattle." Study after study shows that women get injured at at least twice the rate of men — and this is in a military where women are not doing the most physically demanding jobs.#more#
The usual suspects in the mainstream media are dancing around maypoles and singing Hosannas. Trumpeted the New York Times, "women have long chafed under the restrictions." Not quite. Some women, high-ranking, West Point and Annapolis-educated, D.C.-residing type military women have "chaffed." But enlisted women — the women who'd actually have to live in the smelly, crowded tents and schlep all the "battle rattle" — not so much. Several major studies have shown profound apathy about combat roles among the vast majority of enlisted women. For instance, Army staff sergeant Stacey Zinda, a career counselor, told CNN yesterday that "she has yet to have a female soldier approach her about joining a combat unit."
The other bit of pathos being draped about by mainstream-media reporters is that the Pentagon is merely putting "the official seal" as the U.K. Guardian put it, on something women have been doing for years and not gotten career-advancing credit for. "In reality," says the New York Times, "women have frequently found themselves in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, where more than 20,000 have served. As of last year, more than 800 women had been wounded in the two wars and more than 130 had died."
But that's not true either and it illustrates a fuzzy civilian's notion of combat as something to do with bullets whizzing around. Women have been in support roles. Driving supply trucks or flying helicopters, accompanying patrols as interpreters — some of them have come under fire, some of them have undoubtedly fired back, and a few may have engaged in fire-fights spurred by the need to defend themselves. But getting shot at is not "combat" — at least not the way the official military defines it. The Department of Defense defines a combat job as one in which a soldier's primary duty is to seek out, engage and neutralize the enemy. This is a distinction that should be recognized. Special credit should be given. Operating in a combat zone requires bravery but seeking out and "engaging" an enemy requires even more bravery. Sorry, the U.S. military is — well, used to be — a meritocracy. It makes distinctions.
Now, (I think we can all stop pretending that there aren't sex differences here) men like this seeking-out-the-enemy thing. Infantry jobs, jobs involving combat, have to be requested and young men will continue to enthusiastically request these positions. Will women? I doubt they will in great numbers. I think they will continue to swell the ranks of intelligence, management, medical, and logistical jobs, continue to do these jobs admirably, but avoid the combat roles. If so, the impact of this historic policy change may be insignificant. It may go down as more of Obama's gestural politics.
On the other hand, if implementing this policy looks like a replay of the 1990s when the services were turned inside out to try to achieve a utopian notion of a 50/50 sex ratio force, if women are coerced, bribed, cajoled, and standards are lowered to welcome them, the policy will cost billions, sap morale, and generally degrade military readiness.

First Quarter 2014 Financial Results Highlights
- For the first quarter of 2014, the Company achieved Adjusted EBITDA* of $1.2 million, an improvement from $1.0 million from the same period in 2013; Adjusted EBITDA* included $2.0 million and $3.25 million of income from the Company's O-P investment for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013 respectively;
- The Company narrowed its operating loss for the first quarter of 2014 to $(2.2) million, as compared to $(4.3) million for the same period in 2013;
- The Company narrowed its net loss for the first quarter of 2014 to $(0.2) million, as compared to $(0.7) million for the same period in 2013;
- For the first quarter of 2014, UC revenues increased by 7%, which includes the results of the Syracuse, NY operations that were sold in September 2013, to $4.2 million from $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2013; excluding the Syracuse operations, UC revenues increased 23% for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013;

- The Company intends to continue its focus on profitable growth and we expect Adjusted EBITDA* to improve with rationalization of the business model, focused channel growth and business development.
First Quarter 2014 Results
Revenues were $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of 3% from $7.7 million for the same period in 2013. Revenues increased 5% year-over-year excluding the revenue from the Syracuse operations that were sold in September 2013.
UC revenues were $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 5% from $4.0 million for the same period in 2013. UC revenues in the first quarter of 2014 increased 23% on a year-over-year basis excluding the revenue from the Syracuse operations, and improved by 8% from the fourth quarter of 2013 on a similar comparison. As a percentage of consolidated revenue, the UC segment contributed approximately 56% of revenues in the first quarter of 2014 as compared with 51% for the same period in 2013. The increase in UC revenues was attributable to the addition of new clients and the increase in services to existing clients. Approximately 86% of first quarter UC revenues were from licenses and services which are expected to be recurring in nature, with the balance of revenues derived from equipment sales for UC customer implementations.
Telephone revenues were $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2014, as compared with $3.8 million for the same period in 2013. The Telephone segment contributed approximately 44% of revenues in the first quarter 2014 as compared with 49% for the same period of 2013. Telephone revenues were slightly lower year-over-year as a result of continued access line losses and decreases in revenue from pooling arrangements. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in access line rates earlier in the year and modest growth in broadband Internet services revenues.
Gross profit increased by 13% to $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 from $4.0 million for the same period in 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 59% in the first quarter 2014, as compared with 51% for the same period in 2013. The improvement in gross profit primarily reflects the increase in revenues contributed by the UC segment and the Company's ability to leverage its existing infrastructure, and impact of the cost reduction initiatives, which included the sale of the Syracuse operations, and the previously disclosed workforce reduction in the Telephone segment.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the first quarter of 2014 were $5.8 million, as compared with $7.2 million for the same period in 2013. The $1.4 million, or 19%, decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily associated with a reduction in wages, including the impact from the restructuring of the Telephone segment in the second quarter of 2013, the sale of the Syracuse operations, severance charges in the first quarter of 2013, and other expense management initiatives implemented throughout the year.
Total other income for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013 was $1.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Other income included the income from the Company's equity investment in the O-P partnership in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013 of $2.0 million and $3.25 million, respectively. In 2013, the Company received guaranteed annual distributions of $13 million. In 2014, in accordance with to the O-P agreement, the guaranteed distribution levels stopped and the Company will receive income from the equity investment only for its ownership share of 8.108% of the O-P's net income.
For the first quarter of 2014, the Company had an income tax benefit of $58,000, or 19% of loss before income taxes, as compared to an income tax benefit of $0.5 million, or 43% of loss before income taxes, for the first quarter of 2013. The estimated effective tax rate for each period includes projections of tax expense on the expected change in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to the expected increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets reducing the overall tax benefit recorded for the period ended March 31, 2014.
For the first quarter of 2014, the Company's net loss was $(0.2) million, as compared to a net loss of $(0.7) million for the same period of 2013.
Basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.04) for the first quarter of 2014, as compared with basic and diluted net loss per share of $(0.12) in the same period of the prior year.
O-P Partnership
On April 30, 2014, the Company announced that, in accordance with its previously announced plans, the Company has exercised the put option to sell its interest in the Orange County-Poughkeepsie Limited Partnership (the "O-P"). The gross proceeds of $50 million, which the Company received on April 30, 2014, will be used to pay taxes on the related gain, repay outstanding senior debt, fund working capital needs and support growth initiatives, including supporting Alteva's current customers and deploying solutions for new customers. After April 30, 2014, the Company will no longer have any interest in the O-P and will no longer receive any income from the O-P.

In my work I maintain a keepass folder for each client, and each project, which collects all of the needed passwords for their systems and services.
Often times these logins are shared across clients for example, we'll have a Google Analytics account which administers 25 different clients. The problem is remembering which Analytics account holds each client's data, and it's a bit of guesswork at the moment.
All of the Google Analytics entries in keepass are stored in one folder, and we'd like to be able to copy-paste a "shortcut" into each client's folder, so there's no guesswork which login is needed for each client.
I understand that this can be done using Field References, but requires quite a bit more setup to configure it. We just need a kind of placeholder reference that we can store in the folder, which behaves just like the source entry.
The perfect solution (which I haven't been able to find) is a Copy / Paste as Shortcut feature, where the shortcut icon shows a small identifier indicating that it's a shortcut rather than an actual entry.
Deleting an entry which has shortcuts referring to it would warn, and give the option to delete those shortcuts as well.
Alternately, perhaps something akin to Duplicate Entry, but which creates field references in the Username and Password fields, that reference the original record. Then the new Entry can be moved to the appropriate folder and there's no risk of them getting out of sync?

Today's Devotional
UnbreakableHow can you use your suffering to point others to God?
Top Christian Music Videos
Sin's Receipt
"What is all the bleating of sheep and goats and the lowing of cattle I hear?" Samuel demanded (v.14).
I was walking through a museum exhibit about the American Civil War when I came across a chilling item. It was a receipt, like what you might get from a shop. But this was for a slave named Sally, who had been received in good health from a slave trader. We're horrified by the buying and selling of human beings, but these people were so oblivious to the ugliness of their sin that they kept the receipt!
I shook my head in disgust, not only for the despicable thing they had done, but also for the many times we brandish the receipt for our sins. We illegally download music or films, then refuse to delete them from our playlist. We lust after someone who is not our spouse, then replay the moment in our minds. We lose our cool and belittle a coworker, then brag to our friends how we "put him in his place." Rather than feel embarrassed for our sins, we wave our receipt in the air and say, "See what I did!"
Real repentance eliminates "look at me" moments. It gladly gives up any 'profit' from what was gained (1 Samuel 15:13). Saul tried to look honorable when Samuel asked him why he had saved the receipt from his sin. Saul said he "spared the best of the sheep, goats, and cattle" so that he might "sacrifice them to the Lord" (v.15). When Samuel refused to play along, Saul finally admitted, "Yes, I have sinned. I have disobeyed your instructions and the Lord's command . . . . Please forgive my sin" (vv.24-25).
Saul's repentance came too late as Samuel replied, "The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to someone else" (v.28). It's not too late for us. Turn from sin and tear up that receipt. —Mike Wittmer
Read Luke 19:1 to learn what true repentance does with the profits of sin.
What sin receipts have you been clutching? What will you do to discard them?

Netlist Patent Case Against SanDisk's ULLtraDIMM Will Proceed
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/02/14 -- Netlist, Inc. (NASDAQ: NLST), a leading provider of high performance memory solutions for the cloud computing and storage markets, announced today that the United States District Court of the Northern District of California denied without prejudice a motion to stay Netlist's patent infringement action against SanDisk and Diablo Technologies, Inc., who partnered to create the recently released ULLtraDIMM memory module which is accused of infringing seven Netlist patents.
In June of this year SanDisk and Diablo filed petitions in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requesting Inter Partes Review (IPR) of the seven asserted patents. SanDisk and Diablo then joined in a motion to stay the patent case pending resolution of the IPRs. In the Court's order denying the motion, United States District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers observed that the mere filing of an IPR petition says little about whether review will be granted.
"We welcome the Court's decision to allow the patent lawsuit to continue," said Netlist President and CEO, C.K. Hong. "We are confident in the strengths of our patents asserted in this case and we are eager to press ahead with the patent and related trade secret actions in order to enforce our IP rights. There is ongoing adoption of hybrid memory devices by the industry, and we intend to vigorously protect our industry-leading hybrid memory solution, NVvault� NVDIMM, against competitors using our technology." Netlist has steadily invested in and grown its IP portfolio, which now includes 51 issued or granted patents and more than 30 U.S. and foreign pending patent applications in the areas of high performance memory and hybrid memory technologies.
About Netlist:Netlist, Inc. designs and manufactures high-performance, logic-based memory subsystems for server and storage applications for cloud computing. Netlist's flagship products include NVvault� and EXPRESSvault� family of products that significantly accelerate system performance and provide mission critical fault tolerance, HyperCloud®, a patented memory technology that breaks traditional performance barriers, and a broad portfolio of industrial Flash and specialty memory subsystems including VLP (very low profile) DIMMs and Planar-X RDIMMs. Netlist has steadily invested in and grown its worldwide IP portfolio, which now includes 51 issued and granted patents and more than 30 U.S. and foreign pending patent applications in the areas of high performance memory and hybrid memory technologies.
Netlist develops technology solutions for customer applications in which high-speed, high-capacity, small form factor and efficient heat dissipation are key requirements for system memory. These customers include OEMs that design and build tower, rack-mounted, and blade servers, high-performance computing clusters, engineering workstations and telecommunications equipment. Founded in 2000, Netlist is headquartered in Irvine, CA with manufacturing facilities in Suzhou, People's Republic of China. Learn more at www.netlist.com.
Safe Harbor Statement:This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future performance of Netlist. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the launch and commercial success of our products, programs and technologies; the success of product partnerships; continuing development, qualification and volume production of EXPRESSvault�, NVvault�, HyperCloud® and VLP Planar-X RDIMM; the timing and magnitude of the anticipated decrease in sales to our key customer; our ability to leverage our NVvault� technology in a more diverse customer base; the rapidly-changing nature of technology; risks associated with intellectual property, including patent infringement litigation against us as well as the costs and unpredictability of litigation over infringement of our intellectual property and the possibility of our patents being reexamined by the United States Patent and Trademark office; volatility in the pricing of DRAM ICs and NAND; changes in and uncertainty of customer acceptance of, and demand for, our existing products and products under development, including uncertainty of and/or delays in product orders and product qualifications; delays in the Company's and its customers' product releases and development; introductions of new products by competitors; changes in end-user demand for technology solutions; the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled personnel; the Company's reliance on suppliers of critical components and vendors in the supply chain; fluctuations in the market price of critical components; evolving industry standards; and the political and regulatory environment in the People's Republic of China. Other risks and uncertainties are described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2013, and subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company from time to time. Except as required by law, Netlist undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
