Thank you Alan for your invitation
I will PM you before I fly
Ok as promised :D , i got my Note 3 snapdragon 800 version n9005 about an hour ago.
transferred all the music i had from the older device.
Sound quality is really great , my older device was the htc one x .
The sq on the note 3 is both higher and more clear
for the 192 Khz /24bit UHQ audio , there is actually a minimal difference , not worth the space difference :D
i tried it on the song "Father and son" by Cat stevens , if u have any questions or anything please add them here , or any request at all.
My pair of cans are the ATH-M50s from Audio Technica :)
It is an european version of note 3?.
Edited by gattari - 9/29/13 at 2:53pm
Saudi Arabia , it's the middle eastern version of the device , i doubt that there is any difference between it and the european version as i usually purchase my devices from the UK .
but it is the N9005 , Snapdragon 800 , has the 4G label on the back
I have a doubt for European vers
The volume may be cut because of European legislation. This happened with other smartphones and walkman... for example the sony walkman z.
Edited by gattari - 9/29/13 at 3:11pm
if that is true , then that might be the reason why my htc one x had a low maximum volume , but i really hope you get the full potential ^^ Cheers!
Just made an account so I can give you guys some more info.
About the note 3 and why I came to this forum is because the loudspeaker is Just so much more worse than the note 2's. So I kept looking for other info also about the sound chip because at the end the quality of the 3.5mm is a lot more important than the loudspeaker because I'm using it more and ofcourse nice in-ears and on-ears to listen my music thru. (also played some music over my dap rb-15 speakers but didn't payed many attention on sound quality at that moment)
Now the info which you came for
I have a dutch note 3 since launch date, so the n9005 one.
I don't know for sure it has the wolfson chip but what I can confirm is that it playbacks 24 bits audio and shows it in the main audio player.
Here an image, notice the 24 bit 44khz rightabove.
Hope you gained some information from this and feel free to ask questions.
I'm now going to sleep because typing from my note with dutch autocorrect and constantly having to correct words is very tiring
Gn People,
More important is the quality you think have the note 3 in headphone output.
In my italian forum the opinion about the hedphone output of note 3 is no very good.
I like to know your opinion.
I have been using my note 3 for the past few days (s800). There is a feature called adapt sound in the audio settings. Once set up the audio is vastly improved on the stock music player compared to 3rd party ones. I tried power amp, double twist, winamp. None of them come close to the extra detail produced by the stock player. Has anyone noticed this? My mp3s are 320 at 44khz.
Further is it worth converting them to 24 bit, 192khz.
11 ww
I agree that it doesn't sound the best you can get, haven't compared it to my note 2 yet but a thing I can confirm is that I like the 'tube amp effect' very much. It makes the high less agressive and gives overall a much warmer sound (my opinion).
Further the standard bass preset works also very wel, doesn't distort at all and that's actually for the whole equalizer. I think it doesn't boost the frequenties you slide up but actually lowers the rest, gives the same result at a cost of db's but without distortion. Still goes pretty hard though.
I listen to many genres but my main genres are house, top 40,hardstyle etc.
At the moment I listened to these three genres and with Sony xb-40 earbuds. So even with everything in flac I will listen tomorrow thru a proper earphone with 'normal music' (in my case music like Michael Jackson, Sting, Peter Gabriel, the Eagles etc.) in 24 bit 192khz to give my final opinion about the sound quality.

As with Rudi I am using Neutron and I find Neutron the best player for SQ on Android. I also tried the new stock Music player but I am not too sure about any of the "Sound Alive" effects. All they do for my IEMs are adding significant hiss while making the music less transparent. These impressions are mainly done with 24/88 or 24/96 music.

Following two weeks of blockbuster moves, the Flyers finally appear to have the majority of their 2011-2012 roster hammered out. The team still has a few housekeeping matters to take care of with restricted free agent Wayne Simmonds, long-term injured reserve candidate Ian Laperierre, and waiver wire candidate Jody Shelley.
However, its no secret that the team has been looking to improve its roster before opening day. What are some possibilities for Paul Holmgren and the Flyers? Is another blockbuster in store? Will Steven Stamkos be a Flyer in 2011-2012?
To find out more, read on. As always, comments are greatly appreciated!

This RFA solicits applications for a cooperative agreement to augment the International HapMap Project by supporting the genotyping of approximately 2.25 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the genome in 270 samples from four populations, at high quality and at a cost of about 1 cent per genotype. The data from this effort will contribute to the development of a map, called the HapMap, of the haplotype patterns in the human genome and of a set of SNPs that are informative about these patterns and the associations among the SNPs. The HapMap is expected to be a key resource that researchers will use to find genes that affect health, disease, and response to drugs and environmental factors. The genotyping supported by this RFA will augment the current efforts of the HapMap Project by substantially increasing the number of SNPs that will be studied, thereby increasing the quality of the HapMap and its usefulness as a resource for understanding human genetic variation and its role in health and disease. This RFA builds on a previous RFA, HG-02-005 Large-Scale Genotyping for the Haplotype Map of the Human Genome.

A call by Lord Tebbit for voters to boycott the main political parties in the forthcoming European elections as punishment for the MPs' expenses scandal has been strongly attacked this week.
Ben Barkow, director of the Wiener Library, Britain's leading Holocaust archive, said: "There are great dangers in what he said. One can see from other European countries like Austria, where far-right parties have become involved in mainstream politics, which has been bad for the country."
The Wiener Library, created in 1933, is one of the world's leading and most extensive archives on the Holocaust and Nazi era.
Mr Barkow added: "My main concern is the big effort the BNP is making with regard to European elections. They are clearly set to capitalise on the disrepute that politicians have brought on themselves at the moment. Lord Tebbit's remarks have not helped that.
"For people who are having hard times because of the economic crisis, the natural tendency is to look for someone to blame. The BNP is running a campaign to exploit this in the most ruthless and unscrupulous way."
Lord Tebbit, now 78, was right-hand man to Margaret Thatcher during her 11 years as prime minister, ending as party chairman. He almost lost his life in the 1984 IRA bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton, in which his wife was permanently disabled.
He stressed that he was not saying people should vote for the BNP, which, he said, he "abhorred".
He said: "It's very clear the three main parties need to be taught a very sharp lesson as soon as possible about the ethical behaviour of many MPs. I would rather they boycott the European elections rather than the general election, which is a much more serious matter."
Under Europe's proportional representation rules, the BNP may need as little as eight per cent of votes to win a seat on June 4. Lord Tebbit said: "What a lesson it would be if the BNP won a seat to those who think proportional representation is the magic cure for all our ills. It would remind us that it is the nastiest, smallest, most aggressive parties who have most to gain. I certainly don't want to see them represented, but if people understand that, it is important.
"There is a way out, as there are many other small parties for which people can vote. You can be sure that I thought very carefully before I said what I did, and I did emphasise at the time that people should not vote for the BNP."
The push to get people registered to vote in the European elections has spread to New York. The London Jewish Forum and the "Your Voice or Theirs" campaign sought the help of the main Jewish Community Centre in New York and through them, discovered that 1,000 Jewish families could be registered to vote.

Fair Grounds reschedules grass stakes
Two turf stakes scheduled for Saturday's Road to the Derby Kickoff Day at Fair Grounds -- the Grade 3, $125,000 Col. E.R. Bradley Handicap and the $75,000 Marie G. Krantz Memorial -- have been moved to the following Saturday, January 26, due to the likelihood that there will be no turf racing this weekend. The final decision was made at about 9:30 a.m. (CST) Wednesday by Fair Grounds officials after consulting with horsemen and the stewards.
"Everyone agreed this was the right decision," Fair Grounds Vice President and General Manager for Racing Eric Halstrom said. "These are important races on our stakes schedule and our horsemen deserve every chance to run their horses on their preferred surface. While it doesn't always work out that way we think that moving these turf stakes back a week will help accomplish that goal."
Fair Grounds has been faced with an inordinate amount of rain in recent weeks. As of Wednesday morning, 5.39 inches of rain had fallen in the area in January, according to local television meteorologist Chris Franklin. The average for the entire month is 5.87 inches. Only one race, the January 5 Dixie Poker Ace, has been run on the Stall-Wilson Turf Course in 2013.
Although the local forecast for the weekend is actually quite good for racing, with little chance of rain Thursday to Sunday, the ground is too heavily saturated to expect turf racing on Saturday.
The rescheduled races on January 26 will make for a four-stakes program, which was already scheduled to feature the $75,000 F.W. Gaudin Memorial sprinters and the inaugural Van Berg for three-year-old turf sprinters.

Children in Finland begin their primary education when they reach seven years of age.
Pre-school education is intended for six-year olds, who will start their compulsory education in the following year. At the moment over 90 % of the age group participate in the voluntary pre-school education.
Comprehensive school a.k.a. basic education provides a nine-year educational programme (with a voluntary 10th year) for all school-age children, beginning at the age of seven. The school network covers the whole country.
Comprehensive schools are primarily run by local authorities, with the exception of a few private schools. The broad national objectives and the allocation of teaching time to instruction in different subjects, subject groups and pupil counseling are regulated by the government.
The National Board of Education decides on the objectives and core content by confirming the core curriculum. Based on these, each provider of education prepares the local basic education curriculum.

No this has nothing to do with Galileo's Law it is a completely different
motion problem.
What stays the same is the definition of average velocity it is still
[s(t2) - s(t1)]/(t2-t1)
s = 5sin(πt) + 2cos(πt
Compute [s(2) -s(1)]/[2-1]
The instantaneous velocity is the derivative but as you've been asked for
an approximation I'm assuming you haven't done derivatives yet?
Compute [s(1.01) -s(1)]/[1.01-1]

How to Make Pound Cake
The original pound cake got it's name from the weight of it's main ingredients. This healthier version, served with berries, is the perfect accompaniant to a cup of tea.
-Hey everyone, I'm Judith. Well today, we'll be making an Old Fashioned Pound Cake from scratch, a really wonderful cake to have with a nice cup of tea. So what you will need for this is 1-1/2 of butter; 6 eggs; 1 8-ounce carton of dairy sour cream; 3 cups of all purpose flour; 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda; 3 cups of sugar; 1 teaspoon of vanilla; and fresh strawberries and blackberries optional. Alright, so first thing first, we've whisked our 10-inch tube pan with some cooking spray there. We're just gonna set that aside for later. Now, let's get our flour, and we're just gonna add our baking soda to our flour, and mix that in a little. We can set that aside for the moment too. Alright, so in a large mixing bowl, what we're gonna do is add in our butter. Now, we have let our butter sour cream and eggs rest for about 30 minutes in room temperature. So, nice and soft, so into our mixing bowl goes our butter, and on the medium high speed, we're gonna just whisk that away with our mixer for 300 seconds. Now, gradually, we're gonna add in our sugar and we're gonna beat for about 10 minutes until it's light and fluffy anyway. Alright, so that is now looking nice, light, and fluffy, just give a stir, scrape of the sides to edges. Now, one at a time, we're gonna add in our eggs, and after each time you add in your egg, make sure you beat it very well. So, we're just gonna keep beating our mixture until we've used all of our eggs, alright. So we feed up all of those eggs now into that mixture, looking good, light, smooth, creamy just as we wanted. So, now let's bring our flour and sour cream into the mix. First of all, though, however, let's that add that touch of vanilla that's give it a really nice taste. So, alternately, what we're gonna do is put in a little bit of flour and a little bit of sour cream, and we're gonna beat after each time on a low speed. So, let's add our little bit of flour, little bit of sour cream, and we'll beat. And we'll gonna do exactly the same. We'll gonna repeat this process until all our flour and sour cream have been used up, alright, now all of our flour and sour cream are in there now, and we've got this gorgeous butter ready for the oven. Okay, so what we gonna do now is transfer this into our greased loaf pan, in there goes, yes, very good, and the great thing about this is about-- it's very simple, easy to do, inexpensive ingredients and it makes high [unk]. It's always good. Alright, so spread that out there, get those little trickles, very good, alright. So that now is gonna go into the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour or an hour and a half. You can check if it's done by putting a wooden toothpick in, and if it comes out clear, that should be done. So then, take it out the oven. Let it rest of 20 minutes and you should have your pound cake ready. Alright, so our pound cake has been in the oven for about an hour and a half. We left it to rest for about 20 minutes and now that is done, and look at it, really beautiful, golden brown. We slice it up and serve with some fresh berries, fantastic. Alright, so that is how you make your old fashioned pound cake.

Genre: Resource Management
Platform: iOS
ESRB: E for Everyone
Developer: Vicarious Visions
Publisher: Activision
Released: November 8th 2012
Skylanders is a franchise which I have always observed from a distance, being a child of pokemon, around 10 when it really started (Just like Ash!/nerd) I felt like I was too old now to start something so new that I was clearly not the target audience of (though I am not too old for pokemon yet, that would be ludicrous.). Not to mention the price point of entry was a bit daunting considering the importance of buying extra figurines, while extremely collectible I just wasn't ready to invest myself. I was able to avoid all that though by downloading the free app store game "Skylanders, Lost Islands."
Lost Islands is a simple real time strategy game based around point and click resource management, like many similar titles on the iphone, but what makes it is the Skylanders atmosphere being applied to the formulaic game type. I can't emphasize enough how much I've been enjoying this game, its become instantly and incredibly addictive for me, and I know that's exactly what this type of game is designed to be , but it doesn't always work if some aspects are not done correctly. The two specific aspects I think are well executed are the way they ramp up the crops and adventures, making longer ones give more, but at a reduced rate as compared to the shorter equivalents.
This way you can let the game play itself when you are more busy, but the more attention you pay it (by repeatedly doing shorter crops etc. rather than just doing the long ones, which you don't have access to at earlier levels so that earlier on you have to pay a lot of attention to the game and get yourself hooked) the faster you will progress. The significantly harder to earn currency, gems in this case, are rare, but not so rare that it makes it frustrating to play without using any real money, which is what I do, it achieves the perfect balance of excitement upon receiving a gem and feasibility of earning more if you just keep playing a little longer, and longer, and longer. The big draw here though is the Skylanders Heroes, instantly recognizable well defined characters of which you can earn random ones through leveling and if you're determined enough you can buy specific ones with a boat load of gems.
This is why I keep playing this game, I'm not just mindlessly leveling, I'm working towards my next hero, and leveling up the heroes I've already earned. By creating 55 unique characters, each with their own back story who you add to your team by the sweat of your brow, and then lovingly send on adventures so they level up, and can even see them walking around your islands when they aren't doing anything, it gives your world instant depth and variability. Sure the the crops are just more putting the square peg in the square hole over and over, and the buildings quickly turned into eery rows of identical houses and community centers, but every new hero is a fresh new aspect that gets woven throughout the entire game and the way you play it going into the future. Not only that but Activision has brilliantly incorporated web codes, as they do with every Skylanders game they push out, which allow you to benefit from the physical toys you may have bought for other Skylanders games or may even buy for this one, by unlocking them instantly. By having 55 different heroes to choose from I guarantee if you are the type of person this franchise targets you will find a favorite, or even a couple, you will become attached to it, and you will be tempted to buy its statuette. (Terrafin for me, in case you were wondering.).
- The 55 different heroes keep the game fresh and engaging
- The graphics are vibrant and look great, something many similar games skimp on
- The Incorporation of web codes is inviting for those already enslaved by the Skylanders franchise but not debilitating for those not yet inducted
- The gameplay can be formulaic and stale if you are familiar with this type of game
- Some of the buttons are small and mildly unresponsive on my iphone 4, which can be frustrating at times

No, that only says that v has at least 1 element and at most 3 elements. You need to include formulation that x, y, and z are different from one another.

MSNBC host Alex Wagner moderates a town hall with Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and Amnesty International live from the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has called for the release of the members of the Russian punk rock band Pussy Riot.
At an event organized by Amnesty International on Thursday, Suu Kyi accepted a bouquet from family members of one of the group's three members, Nadia Tolokonnikova.
The punk band members were sentenced in August to two years in prison for performing an irreverent song mocking Russian President Vladimir Putin inside Moscow's main cathedral.
Suu Kyi's journey to global icon: a heart-breaking tale of personal sacrifice
Responding to a question, Suu Kyi said: "I don't see why people should not sing whatever they want to sing."
She added jokingly that was unless they sing terribly.
Her comments came during a town hall moderated by MSNBC's Alex Wagner.
Suu Kyi was one of the world's most famous political prisoners until her release two years ago.
She is now on a coast-to-coast tour of the United States. On Wednesday, she met President Barack Obama at the White House and received the Congressional Gold Medal for her long fight for democracy in a country ruled by army generals since 1962.
Suu Kyi honored with Congress' highest award
U.S. lawmakers and officials who turned out to honor Suu Kyi expressed amazement — some tearing up — that she had made the journey from house arrest to Washington.
Suu Kyi won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for championing democracy in opposition to the military junta that held her under house arrest for years. Her last stay in the United States was in the 1970s as a United Nations employee.
Russia PM Medvedev: Pussy Riot members should be freed
Suu Kyi's election to parliament in April helped to transform the pariah image of Myanmar and persuade the West to begin rolling back sanctions after a year of dramatic reforms, including the release of about 700 political prisoners.
The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi received the highest honor bestowed by Congress, the Congressional Gold Medal, and thanked the U.S. for its support of her struggle for democracy. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell reports.

So apparently, the world is supposed to come to Judgement Day on May 21, and subsequently end on either October 21, 2011, December 21, 2012, or some other random time.
While there are reasons aplenty why our society is bad and should be punished, the NFL may hold the clues as to why Judgement Day will be happening.
In the years 2010 and 2011 in the NFL, many apocalyptic events took place, and it is our job as NFL fans to realize them.
Now, here are the ten signs of the apocalypse from the NFL over the past two years.

We've all heard the idea that, in a vacuum, feathers and cannonballs fall at the same rate.
It's pretty hard to test theories like that here on Earth, where a whole lot of outside
influences can affect our results. Call it shake, rattle and roll--without perfect conditions,
we can't be very precise or very sure. We're lucky, though, because the coming of the space age
has opened up opportunities we've never had before.
Space is perhaps one of the best laboratories of all. It's vast, quiet, and relatively
free from disturbances. We can check out how things come together in such an untroubled
environment--crystals, metals, clouds of atoms and more. We can learn how liquids flow,
fires burn, and life adapts. By placing our experiments in freefall around the Earth,
we can even remove most of the effect that gravity can have. That's what we mean
by "microgravity."
Curious how it all works outside of the context we know so well on Earth? Come see
what we know, what we predict, and what we hope to learn through our experiments in space.

Skip to comments.Don't Rush To Write Off Limbaugh, Analysts Say [Comments "Should Be Condemned by Everyone"-McCain]
Posted on 03/05/2012 11:33:51 PM PST by Steelfish
Don't Rush To Write Off Limbaugh, Analysts Say He's lost 11 advertisers since using crude language to describe a student for her views on birth control, but analysts say his huge audience should allow him to thrive.
Analysts say the size of radio commentator Rush Limbaugh's audience should allow him to continue to thrive despite a loss of advertisers over his crude comments about a female student's views on birth control. By James Rainey and Matea Gold
March 5, 2012 A new week greeted Rush Limbaugh with four more advertiser defections, for a total of 11, along with a sharp rebuke from former Republican presidential nominee John McCain. Peter Gabriel asked that his song "Sledgehammer" no longer be used on Limbaugh's radio program.
Even after Limbaugh issued a rare apology, the furor that had erupted when the conservative radio host called an activist law student a "slut" and a "prostitute" showed no sign of abating Monday.
But a backlash that might be a career-breaker for some commentators seemed unlikely to dent Limbaugh's considerable stature among his 15 million weekly listeners and conservative leaders.
The criticism delivered by most Republican officeholders was muted. One political action committee stepped up to buy even more advertising on his program. All of which suggested that "The Rush Limbaugh Show" might be too big to fail.
The controversy began last week, when the radio host addressed President Obama's proposal that health insurance provide free birth control. Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke spoke at a congressional hearing in favor of that idea, only to be attacked by Limbaugh.
He described the 30-year-old as one of a group of "feminazis" who effectively wanted government to subsidize their sexual activity, and he demanded, "We want you to post the [sex] videos online so we can all watch."
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Miss fluke is trying to force the Catholc Church violate their tenet on life.
I condemn her comments.
McCain is a bigger idiot than Carter. Quite a feat.
Stock up on Two if by Tea.
There is an upside to this. As a longtime listener, I was getting bored to tears with Sleep Number and Carbonite ads. I can't wait for the new sponsors to come aboard which they inevitably will.
>> female student's views on birth control.
31 year old, Leftwing activist.
This is just like that time all the insane lefties demanded that people cancel their HBO subscriptions after Bill Maher Called Sarah Palin a T_ _ _ _ and a C_ _ _ _.
No wait, that was in an alternative reality where Robery Byrd would actually be criticized for using the N Word on national television.
>> Peter Gabriel
Didn't he do the soundtrack to Last Temptation of Christ?
Limbaugh = "Too Big to Fail"
I like that!
>> along with a sharp rebuke from former Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
Sharp as a warm stick of butter.
Oh, no! Peter Gabriel!!! THIS Peter Gabriel? http://youtu.be/p_EYU75uhKk
Did Rush Limbaugh try to sell arms to Muslim terrorists?
Has Rush Limbaugh written more Cap&Trade bills than Algore?
Does Rush Limbaugh take money from George Soros?
Then shut the hell up, McCain!
She is a 30+ year old professional agitator. When I was her age I was also a student, but I had been running my own business for 10 years and I had gone back to school to work on a second career.
Also, she needs birth control like a fish needs a bicycle. If she isn't a lesbian, then there aren't any lesbians.
Those "consistent constitutional conservative" Ron Paul people sure are in a hurry to get Rush's free speech revoked...
Rush will be alright...he has the biggest audience on radio. Advertisers leave but listeners won't. Imus picked up a bigger audience after his gaffe. The libtards just failed to knock him out this time.
This would be a good opportunity for Rush Limbaugh to change his theme song. Part of the agreement for its use is an agreement that ultimately leads to a contribution to the ultra-liberal PETA outfit.
My personal preference would be to rotate among various patriotic songs such as "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood or perhaps some stirring, traditional Sousa marches. And now that Hank Williams, Jr. no longer is associated with Monday Night Football, there could be a introduction done by Bocephus, a good Conservative. Even though I don't care for hard rock, Ted Nugent's songs would be a good change from "My City was Gone", which has gotten tired and worn out in my opinion.
Legal Zoom is very annoying. As a lawyer I realize they are bottom fishing for do-it-yourselfer types, but then I get to see the ill prepared wills, trusts and LLC's that result. Makes for litigation opportunities later, but it's not a service to most of the uninitiated who think they are saving a buck. Plus, I hate Robert Shapiro for his role in helping O.J. Simpson gain an acquittal in the criminal trial.
The others? I don't use now, but I'll be sure to not use them in the future.
It's the silent boycott. No need for slogans and campaigns - just quietly refuse to patronize these folks.
Interesting how McCain is not attacking the obvious homosexual sexual harassment by government contraception welfare mandate.
I did not know McCain was so blind, hypocritical or cowardly to attack those calling government sponsored and paid homosexual rapists like Fluke sluts.
Isn't it like accusing a child victim of a pedophile rape a heinous kid for calling the perp a slut?
But if so, she is a prime candidate for excommunication or at least forbidden communion at Mass (if she were to attend at all), and I would not mind having a bishop recommend it for consideration to the Pope. What she is trying to set is an extremely dangerous precedent in the USA, she is truly doing the Dark One's evil bidding, whether she knows it or not. Talk about entitlement! Talk about no public shame in the midst of sin or in tarnishing one's family's name and reputation?
Though they all advertise on other venues, most are Conservative and I doubt that the majority of their business comes from Far Left Moonbats who are claiming they will no longer buy their products/services and is simply a concerted effort by the Lib Loons to try silence Rush.
The question I have is, why should I have to pay for her screwing around? Could very well be that she has chosen the wrong profession and should consider getting paid for what she enjoys doing? In turn this would help to defray her expenses.
I do believe that Rush was right on target as he usually is by calling a spade a spade. Should all else fail she always could consider requesting from her Beau to use condoms what could reduce her expenses considerably. Times certainly have changed as I would have been embarrassed to death to testify and advertise my behavior at a congressional hearing and for the whole world to know that I have a hard time keeping my legs closed.
It certainly comes as no surprise to me that a liberal/socialist would come to her defense and condone her behavior along with her request for some one else to shoulder the expenses for her recreation. At the same time attacking some one who properly identified her behavior by comparing it to an age old profession.In closing I would like to state that I am certainly not a beacon of morality, but I do profess still having a few ounces of common sense at my disposal apparently more than some of the advertisers on Rush's show.
This is is my take Saintgermaine.
I like the theme song.
I agree that it's time for a change.
Time for something more Patriotic before it becomes 'my USA is gone'
Great idea. Rush are you reading this?
MCLAIM would have made Jimmah Kahtah look good if he had won.
Now you know why we had to hold our nose to vote for him. Our dislike of ZERO was that strong and we were right. ZERO is the worst of the worst.
I guarantee it.
Is there another company that does back up?(CARBONITE) If not might be time to start one.
"s there another company that does back up?(CARBONITE) If not might be time to start one. "
I canceled Carbonite, effective in a few months when my pre paid subscription expires.
I notified them from my Carbonite control panel..
Other FReepers have posted numerous online backups...turns out there are many.
Other FReepers poopoo the backups, claiming that they do their own backup, but as I point out, that is worthless in event of theft, fire, or other natural disasters.
If you really treasure the content of your computer, by all means find a good online backup service....One that is not beholden to the Communist.
I did too and I have some time left on my subscription to find another company.
Yes doing your own back up is not the answer. Off site is the only way.
Maybe another company that does off site back-up will advertise on RUSH.
After searching I found SOS. If they are smart they will advertise on RUSH. I will wait and see I have time left on Carbonite. . . .
"Don't Rush To Write Off Limbaugh, Analysts Say"
Gee thanks Mr. or Ms. Analysts we were worried there for a second. Now we feel better.
Check out mozy.com
Thanks, I have enough time left on Carbonite to wait.
I will go with the one that advertises on RUSH. . . .
I looked at SOS and they have a free I-Phone back-up (of course I have I-Cloud but it never hurts to have 2)
I wrote this to Shari's Berries:
I hereby will no longer purchase flowers, candies, or strawberries from you and or your affiliates as I have recently done, purchasing the strawberries. The reason is I regret very much that you have canceled your advertising for the Rush Limbaugh show. But not to worry he will survive. He does not need the likes of you to keep his show going.
You apparently are a sympathizer of the left wing media and their ilk and those who have no morals at all. Rush is not only a talk show professional he is also an entertainer. When the left wing media says people are sluts or whores as they have done to Sarah Palin, Michele Bachman and others, that seems to be okay. I resent the double standard and the outrage by you in canceling Rush as a sponsor, a very honest and truthful and moral person. Freedom of speech is also at stake here.
I was going to order strawberries for my Sister whose birthday is the end of March. That will NOT happen now.

I have two brothers who have cancer: One Cancer of the Liver. The other Colon Cancer. Therefore the berries to them and their wives. Please pray for my brothers. One seeks a liver the other will have surgery to cut out the infected part.
God be with you Rush.
The women of this country can see through this female fake up there in Washington. Why do I have to work to pay for her birth control and out of control appetites?
The Rush to punish Rush over comments made that were deliberatly misrepresented.... Rush was right in America we used to call a woman who insisted someone else pay so she could have sex—a slut. Today anti-American America- the godless-progressive Left is in power. The Occupy the Church— and education—and our Government. The Founders believed Religion(Christianity-check American history-and Law) Morality (that Morality/Virtue based upon Christianity) and Knowledge were necessary to good government. Now we have a system that holds all three virtues in contemept.The Occupy bunch is doing to Rush -what they did to Susan Komen -over Planned Parenthood? And to anyone else in their attempt to destroy America. ONLY We -the people can resist the Borg.
mclame "should be condemned by everyone" for being so inept that he essentially elected nobama. johnny...you were tortured too much by the N VN. Resign immediately, you drooling fool. (also, don't bomb syria)
I would say that McCain isn't so much an idiot as a loser. But.....Rush has (rightly) bashed him for years and McCain probably looks at this as the perfect opportunity for payback.
Where was McCain when people were saying the same of his VP candidate?

"McCain isnt so much an idiot as a loser"
MSM loves the guy.
McCain is jealous that Fluke has upstaged pathetic Megan.
Well Rush claims that he has advertisers by the dozens waiting in the wings, just begging to get on his show. I guess we will find out if that is true or if it's just bravado.
Take Don Imus.. please!
Imus blasted Rush for "vile, repulsive name-calling" -- this from Drug-addled Don Imus who calls Gingrich "Skunk Vomit" and calls Santorum "Butt Pus".
Drug-addled Don even had his audience vote on the name for Santorum. I know that childish name-calling is his schtick.. but he ain't kidding here. Why the arrogance? Professinal jealousy? Has to be. Rush does his show solo.. Imus needs a talented staff to share on-air time and to remain on air -- and that's a fact.
To be fair.. this morning just seconds ago Imus finally! acknowledged the FACT that his liberal friends like Matt Taibbi can get away with doing the exact same thing for which Rush is being vilified.
(I know that Imus says he no longer does drugs.. but I believe that unlike alcohol traces of drugs can remain in the body longer after they are consumed.)
I wish that were true but its not
Probably so. But what is true is that the "independent" women in this country also have an attention span shorter than your average hour of Oprah. Once the next big celebrity scandal hits, they will move on and nobody will remember this in a month, let alone eight months from now on election day.
Very good point!

Washington has shown a keen and sustained interest in the political contacts and personal friendships of Alan Duncan, the Minister for International Development.
In a cable dated January 22 this year, intelligence officials asked the London embassy to supply them with more information about Mr Duncan's contacts in the Middle East and his relationship with David Cameron and William Hague.
Officials in Washington said that they "greatly appreciated" a previous report on him but wanted more "biographic and personality reporting" on Mr Duncan, the Shadow Minister for Prisons at the time. "Analysts found the information regarding Duncan's Middle East expertise,

Spanish designer Laura Vega is taking New York by storm with attractive designs for women's handbags that are captivating many celebrities, including actress Sarah Jessica Parker, model Bar Rafaeli and other fashion fanatics, including the Olsen twins.
"I'm living a dream, but my intention is little by little to go and set up solid bases where my designs and my collections can be supported," Vela told Efe.
The 25-year-old Vela has enjoyed fashion since she was a girl, but she preferred to graduate in business leadership and management in Barcelona.
"When I finished my studies, I went to Miami to do a Master's and I quickly noticed that design was my true passion," Vela said.
Thus, with very clear ideas about what she wanted to do, she settled in New York, where she studied design and fashion at the famed Parsons School of Design.
She was a brilliant student and the school provided her with the opportunity to participate in New York's fashion week with the line of handbags that carries her name, Laura Vela.
Designed with love and care, the leather bags are adorned with studs, metal appliques, fringes and tassels.
"With regard to Fashion, the handbag is the most personal part of a woman, it reflects her personality and the state of her mood. It's an intimate accessory," the young designer said.
Her bags are aimed at women who value design and quality, and among her clients she counts Sarah Jessica Parker, who acquired six different handbags in one day, the stars of the series "Gossip Girl" and actresses and businesswomen Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.
Vela said she is very happy in New York, "a city with a lot of energy and full of opportunities." EFE

War Declared Against America!
War has been declared against America: an economic war that has destroyed a major part of our economy. Unfortunately, since Americans were unaware of this war, there has been no public outcry for either protective or aggressive measures. We have opened our shores and our markets with "free trade," a consistently proven disaster in the real-life context of the modern international economy. Our "free trade" policies have succeeded in doing nothing more than allowing foreign countries to disarm the United States of our industries through predatory pricing, dumping and buyouts.
China, Japan and Germany operate their economies like they are fighting a war to destroy the competition (America). We have sat back and let these nations economically battle us undeterred. One look at the shattered condition of our economy and one can clearly see our economic demise. For all intents and purposes, they have won!
Our services surplus is shrinking, and the rate at which we are spending less on domestically produced goods and more on foreign produced goods is increasing. How can we hope to sustain this course? To dictate our own standard of living, our own national defense, and create opportunities for our citizens, we must control domestic factors of production. A dollar's worth of foreign goods does not equal a dollar's worth of domestic service. The jobs, profits, taxes, innovation and protection need to reside here – where our citizens live and work.
Americans are now serving the various whims of those foreigners who have essentially become our landlords, bankers, producers, and employers. We have assumed the role of the naïve prisoner, playing our part in a play whose script is strictly dominated by a small percentage of the country, a percentage whose strategy repeatedly enriches the welfare and standard of living for foreigners while the rest accumulate massive liabilities, bleak prospects, and ultimately the very same loss of liberty at stake in the popular depiction of game theory, the prisoner's dilemma.
We are quickly becoming a country not of makers, but of serfs, subservient to our foreign masters. We are failing quickly, but must no longer do so quietly!

With a few weeks to cool off after a stretch of four events in four straight weeks, the UFC is getting set to end the year in style with six events in the final two months.
Over the course of the next few months, we're set to go from a fight card that starts at 9 AM on Fuel TV to the always entertaining UFC year end card featuring almost two PPVs worth of quality fights.
Things are going to get interesting, as this is the most promising lineup of events the UFC has thrown together all year.
We get the return of Georges St-Pierre, the UFC's first trip to China, the crowning of three new Ultimate Fighters and a three title fights, including a heavyweight rematch between current champ Junior dos Santos and former champ Cain Velasquez.
The next few weeks without a UFC event will be tough for some fans to deal with, but when UFC on Fuel 6 kicks off in early November, it will start an awesome eight-week stretch to be a fight fan.

Jan Lutma, the Elder, Goldsmith and Sculptor, 1656
Rembrandt van RijnDutch, 1606-1669
Etching, State I
7-5/8 x 5-5/8 in. (19.4 x 14.3 cm)
Norton Simon Museum, Museum purchase with funds donated by Mrs. Edward C. Crossett
© Norton Simon Museum
Not on view
Surrounded by the tools of his trade, the esteemed silversmith Jan Lutma (c. 1584–1669) is presented with a sensitive and reverential intimacy. The elderly artisan is posed in a leather-backed armchair decorated with carved lions' heads finials, and his right hand holds a candlestick—one of his creations. On the table beside him are various tools, including a hammer and a pot containing punches. The silver drinking bowl immediately behind the pot of punches is identifiable as one of his works. Lutma received important official commissions during his lifetime but is best known for the tulip beaker he created in 1652 for Nicolaas Tulp, whose anatomy lesson Rembrandt had painted in 1632. This etching may have been commissioned by Lutma's son Jan, also a silversmith and printmaker.
In this beautiful etching, Rembrandt has added drypoint over an already dense web of finely etched lines. By altering the direction and strength of the lines, he has created subtle distinctions between the various layers of Lutma's clothing and between the figure and the chair. A warm, diffuse light illuminates Lutma's face and hands, providing a sense of space around his chair. In later years, the silversmith's eyesight deteriorated, and it is possible that his unfocused look in this etching is linked to this affliction.

People started arriving at 12:00pm, and by 12:30pm, it was clear we would not start the business portion immediately. We are considering moving the meeting to 1:00PM so more people can be on time. Scott brought along some free parts, and a number of sets he got at clearance prices for other members. Jason also brought along some clearence deals to share which were snatched up quickly. The business portion of the meeting started around 2:00pm.
Business items:
1) Comic Con – We discussed this a bit, if we are planning on doing this or not. We concluded that the interest is there, Peter volunteered for the Castle part of the coordination, Scott will be the Space coordinator.
2) NMRA – Larry talked about this at some length, planning is progressing. We are exploring funding and transport options. We are agreed that doing a joint layout with the rtlToronto club would not be nearly as exciting for attendees as two layouts would be. However we will explore things that tie them together, such as having items on our scavenger hunt that are on their layout and vice versa, or having coordinated place names, or even, a train that "disappears" into a tunnel on one layout and "appears" from a tunnel on the other one.
3) We discussed the various fund raising shows that are running on the west side of the state. We decided it would be a good idea to explore our opportunities and look into these.
4) Banners – Larry brought the new banners we will be using. They were generaly regarded as quite spiffy.
5) ILTCO – Larry discussed this new organization, and informed us of some of the details. Overall, we were hopeful it can help the LEGO train clubs overall.
6) Michltc.org Web Domain – Scott found out that michltc.org was already registered, we might try to approach them to see if they would be willing to let us take over the domain name.
7) Bylaws – The biggest item of the business meeting was the discussion to try to formalize some structure into MichLUG. The main reason we discussed this was because we might some formal organization to better prepare us for ownership of the club assets, etc. Several items were discussed, and most people were supportive of this. We voted to have a committee to make up the bylaws, available at the next meeting. This committee is Larry P, Chris L, and Jason S. We also had a long discussion concerning what this does and does not mean for the club. The voting procedure for adopting or rejecting the bylaws was set, we need a majority of members to vote on it and the bylaws will be ratified if 2/3 of the membership approve.
After the business meeting, we got the Republic Gunship drafted up, and spent a good amount of time getting some great parts, thanks to Al for providing the draft raw material.
We wrapped up the meeting around 5:00PM or so, and then went our separate ways. It was a good meeting, and all are looking forward to the next one.
