Some products can even allow you to view your photos and movies from your iPod on your video monitor (view the Specifications of each product for iPod playback compatibility)...
Short for MPEG-1 layer 3 audio, MP3 is a compression process used to shrink audio files by filtering out all noise that is not detectable to the human ear. MP3 is considered near CD quality, but the file itself occupies approximately one tenth to one twelfth the space of the original CD format, making it the perfect medium for today's smaller, memory based portable media players.
Audio & Video
speakers and amplifiers. Over half a century, the Yamaha Product Design Laboratory has been instrumental
in creating products that put the focus on sound. While being innovative and often ground-breaking, their
design always serves a purpose: the beauty of the form brings out the true essence of the product.
What is the design philosophy behind these achievements by a manufacturer truly steeped in music and sound?
— so Soichiro Tanaka of the Product Design Laboratory (the "PDL" for short) tells us. Behind the solemn expression and penetrating gaze, one gets a sense of warmth and humour from
Tanaka:"The Osaka where I grew up is dotted with many Imperial tombs. Now, I'm no Schliemann but I did have a feeling that there was something behind it that would be worth exploring. Probably I just was born with a sense of wonder, of liking to explore for exploration's sake."
— 20 years ago, Mr Tanaka joined Yamaha as a designer. Since 2008 , he has served as manager of the Audio Design Group, being involved in a wide range of products, including home-use AV equipment, hi-fi components, and professional PA systems. He holds a key position for shaping the overall design policy of Yamaha audio products.
— The period when Mr Tanaka grew up, namely the 1970s, were indeed a revolutionary time for Japanese animation. In the robot genre, soft caricature type lines gave way to a more angular, dynamic style. A kind of "simulated realism" that depicted every detail was all the rage among young boys of the time.
Tanaka:"I particularly liked giant robots such as 'Mazinger-Z', which had a great ending theme. After each episode, over the credits, they would show a kind of exploded perspective drawing of Mazinger-Z. Within this smooth, striking outline were all these complex mechanical details which fired my imagination. I loved picturing in my mind how these parts that you normally could not see from the outside were functioning and all working together. If I think back on it now, that might have been the trigger that eventually caused me to end up as a designer" says Mr Tanaka with a mischievous smile.
Mr Tanaka was also very fond of music. As a student he played drums in a band, but beyond that, he wanted to work on "design in tune with music". After graduating, he chose Yamaha as an employer: "I felt that this company, rather than just making instruments, takes music as a starting point for creating various new things of value, something that is pretty rare."
— Putting what he does into neatly labelled categories is not something Mr Tanaka is keen on. When working on the design for a certain product, he does not simply want to shape its outside, dabbling at the surface. "I aim for design that communicates the true value of a product to the person who might want to buy it." According to Mr Tanaka, this should include making suggestions for the best way to use it, thereby creating a certain usage style. Already since his days at university, he had this vision, and Yamaha with its wide scope of genres and universal emphasis on inherently beautiful design seemed like the place to be.
Tanaka:"Some of the various products handled by Yamaha may seem a bit diverse at first glance, but they all share a common element at the core. They are born out of the determination to 'deliver good sound'. The audio sector of course is a prime example. While sporting different visual styles, the aesthetic sense honed over a long period of time provides the underpinning for each product. Being firmly grounded in this heritage, PDL at various stages in the company's history delivered the distinct Yamaha flavour for its time. This approach remains the same, then and now."
Remarkably, PDL does not belong to any company division but rather is organized as an independent entity. The designers in the Audio Design Group for example are commissioned by the AV and PA Division on a product by product basis and will work on these projects as equal partners. This keeps designers from being trapped in a particular genre, giving them a more comprehensive perspective from which to approach a particular product.
— The policy is to respect the creativity and personal intent of the individual designer as much as possible. Whether veteran or newcomer, it is customary at the institute that one designer is entirely put in charge of a given product. The fact that the characteristically simple and clean Yamaha design is maintained nevertheless stems from the fact that there is plenty of lateral communication within the institute, and all members have some overriding goals in common.
Five Philosophical Concepts:(Integrity) (Innovative) (Aesthetics) (Unobtrusiveness) (Social Responsibility)
These five words can be taken as indicative of the Yamaha design philosophy. They all have an intricate relationship with musical instrument making, an endeavour that has shaped the Yamaha design identity. The same aesthetic sense also deeply pervades design creativity in audio.
Tanaka:"Musical instruments are the perfect example. Their shape has evolved over many years, arriving at a form that is most suitable for playing. Superfluous elements have been eliminated, and there is very little that can be changed for the better. The design represents the essence of the thing, which is 'a tool to play music'. There is an attractive, almost human quality about it. In a way this can be regarded as the ultimate accomplishment from a product design viewpoint. And what about audio products then? For example, simply giving a speaker the appearance and glossy finish of a piano does not turn it into one."
— Pursuing the essence of what a speaker really is differs fundamentally from mere window dressing. A designer has to think about the context in which the product is placed, what its role is and what it requires to best fill that role. He program she has to go right back to the starting point and start consider again. This kind of thought process, this basic stance, Mr Tanaka believes, is what creates integrity in an audio product.
— Mr Tanaka often reminds his fellow staff members that "design means looking for solutions. If we are not clear about what we are trying to solve, there won't be any good answer." Mr Tanaka himself says that about half of the entire process of designing a product is taken up by just thinking about it. "An outsider might get the impression that we are simply staring into space. But unless we are clear about the essence of the product, the design will remain mere window-dressing on the surface."
Tanaka:"The fact that Yamaha is a company where this kind of thought processing is encouraged and shared probably derives from its musical instrument background. Take for instance a piano. For latecomer Yamaha to be accepted in Europe with its long history of instrument building, they needed to add something to the tradition established by the likes of Steinway and Bösendorfer. They could do so only by re-examining the essence of what a piano is, and at the same time being creative and innovative. I think that this kind of DNA is typical for the organization, not only in the design department but also among engineers and craftspeople."
Driven by factors such as portable music players and networking, the way music is being enjoyed is undergoing a rapid change these days. There is a need to rethink audio design in general, to examine how it fits into the framework of our daily life. Mr Tanaka sees this as a major challenge to be answered. The desktop audio system TSX-130 with its top panel of natural wood represents one attempt along these lines.
Tanaka:"The concept of providing an iPod/iPhone dock on a CD player is not such a new one. But in adapting this to the lifestyle of modern users, we wanted to move away from the simple "audio = playback equipment" way of thinking. When an iPod or iPhone user returns home, he or she will first want to charge their device. They will also put their wristwatch or keys somewhere, and I for one will take off my glasses. By having a top of natural wood, we thought that the component could also fulfil the function of a side table."
— This is very different from just slapping on a "retro" look. By thinking about audio in a different context, and bringing it closer to other aspects of the user's life, a new kind of value can be created. Mr Tanaka sees this as a process that leads to a new standard for our times.
Tanaka:"That was one of the reasons why we went for natural wood in the TSX-130. Using imitation wood made out of plastic of course would have been cheaper, and modern technology actually gets the look pretty close to the real thing. But the sound that you hear when you place something on it, and the feel when touching the surface are a far cry from real wood. And of course the sound quality is influenced by the material used for the body of the component. We consulted with the engineers of the division in charge from an early stage, and the design was pursued in a cooperative way."
Tanaka:"What we wanted to express with this design is a new sense of values for the networked age. Until recently, I felt that streaming music reproduction could be considered as 'convenient, sure, but certainly lacking in quality'. But both the infrastructure and the technology have made rapid progress. An authentic hi-fi component that would enable the user to access the ever widening range of music sources, and to do this in an environment geared for high sound quality, was eagerly awaited by many people. The NP-S2000 is the answer to these wishes. Featuring latest technology and materials while presenting a clean, uncluttered look gives it a quality feel that is right for our times."
— Expressing audio values through design that is firmly rooted in our daily lives, this kind of approach is bound to continue. Mr Tanaka aims to foster a distinctive and natural Yamaha image also in future.
Tanaka:"There are still many things and products that people want but that have not yet been realized. Yamaha is a manufacturer more deeply involved with music and quality sound than most others. We are determined to explore these latent needs and continue to create products that can only come from us. They will be unique and have an appeal that makes them hard to put down. Through our design we want to continue working towards the realization of new standards.

The coolest hollywood car ever!
The ORIGINAL BATMOBILE was auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson for the sum of $4,200,000. Plus fees. Mr. Barris has owned it this whole time.
And Holy Krapola.
I always thought the George Barris bat mobile was a cool classic. I had no idea he owned it all these years. Thanks for sharing the info.
What's truly amazing is how little he did to it to make it the Batmobile! Other than the custom paint, some bat motifs and the rear deck exhaust stacks and such, the basic car was already there in the Ford Futura concept car! Wonder if the new owner is gonna park it on display, or run through the local drive in with it?
That's interesting, I didn't know he owned it either
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
This was far and away Barrett-Jackson's best main event auction, with a very eclectic mix of cars. It wasn't the usual Corvette and '69 Camaro show that it had gotten to be. I think they did a fantastic job picking some truly excellent iron to auction, with the Batmobile being the centerpiece. Skeptics said it would only bring around $200,000. Boy were they wrong!!!!!!!!I think they set a record of $1,000,000+ cars for a B-J event, as well.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
It just goes to show, you do a great job and hold onto the work of art long enough, and a $1 car is worth $4.2MM.
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
I heard he is gonna park it inside his house.

Hi. I am new to this forum and new to beekeeping. I plan on starting my first 3 hives this Spring. I am hoping to produce some honey for my family and some that can be sold locally. I REALLY want for my bees to survive the winters. Living in SouthWestern Wisconsin, winter can be a harsh time. I would also like to take a more natural approach to beekeeping, using as few chemicals and treatments as possible. I plan on using the standard 10-frame Langstroth hives. I will have 1 on my property, and 1 on two other friends properties.
Any advice is greatly appreciated, but may be ignored *grin*.

New colour!
When it comes to accessorizing, sometimes we forget how cool it is to dress up our ears when the weather gets hot and we want to wear our hair up. Getting a pair of earrings from Free People is just as fun and interesting as stacking your wrists and neck with your favourite rings, bracelets, cuffs, chains, and collars. For those who are bohemian at heart, a sweet feather drop earring or a rainbow coloured beaded tassel pair is just the thing to dress up a whimsical maxi dress and gladiator sandals ensemble. All the badass girls with tomboy flair will love our Vanessa Mooney skull charm drop earrings. They add a cool toughness to even the most pretty of hairdos. Or you can keep things simple and sweet with a classic geometric shaped dangling earring or stud earring. Whatever you prefer to dress up your ears with, Free People has a unique and timeless collection of earrings to get started with.

Health risks for people living near meth labs
BRISTOL, Tenn. - With all the recent discoveries of meth labs around our region we wanted to know just how dangerous these labs can be for people living around them; there have also been many children found inside homes where meth is being made.
In a week's time, Sullivan County sheriff's deputies found 50 bottles used to make meth inside a home, along with a marijuana growing lab and a moonshine still. "There is health concerns no question about that," said Elizabeth Brown, who lives near a discovered meth lab.
Brown lives just a few houses down from where the meth, marijuana, and moonshine were found. After the discovery, she tells us she's worried about her health and her neighbors' health. "I'm concerned and I'm also concerned about the fumes and things that we breathe that we probably weren't even aware that we were breathing them," adds Brown.
We've learned Brown has a good reason to be concerned because the fumes could affect neighbors, depending on a few factors. For example, how much space is between the homes and, if you live in an apartment or townhouse, what's between your wall and their wall. "It also depends on how much is being made how many chemicals are there, exposure time; it all has to be factored in," says Dr. John Daniel.
What about children found inside the homes? Wellmont Urgent Care doctor John Daniel says little ones are a different story. "It's the same risk as the meth user because they're immediately exposed to the chemical components that are being made," adds Daniel.
We asked Dr. Daniel about side effects kids inside these homes could face. "They can have meth mouth, the whole nine yards of weight loss, mood changes," says Daniel.
Meanwhile, Brown tells us after hearing what these chemicals can do to innocent bystanders, she says she will be keeping a closer eye on her neighborhood. "If I see any of that, I'm going to say something. I don't want it here," adds Brown.
Police tell us they have been receiving more tips from the public about suspected meth labs. They say that's important to be able to bring an end to the meth problem and they ask the community to work with them.

you not using the correct term. there is no such thing as a liberal in 2013.
what we have is a "neo-socialist"
a neo-socialit will say something like "the NRA is the republican party--and keep repeating the oxymoron term "gun crime" when there is only "crime".
it is all about blame of every thing old , everything that the USA once stood for.
the neo-socialist movement is far-far left of liberal --so far left their coming up very near the NAZI party--which is all about government control of EVERYTHING.
a real liberal wants to smoke his pot in peace--
a neo-socialist wants the government to regulate,punish and eliminate all other ideas and beliefs. a social crusader that wants to correct every social problem real or imaginary with government power and tax dollars.
imagine the DMV running the world!
what we have here in the USA is a new version of NAZI --a PC NAZI , hell bent on government control of every part of your life.
you have no rights --it is up to the nanny state to provide for you. and even worse the nanny state will decide you place in it. if it decides you owe --?? it decides it is all the white mans fault? of course you paying for all this unwanted management.
only members of the elite in the party have to power to decide who is on top and who is the peons, the huddled masses waiting for that stimulus check--
for the elite liberals at the top of the neo-socialist heap no amount of money is too much, but their glad to cut food stamps to millions 25% ang then go on multi-million dollar golfing/skiing vacations, or have the tax payers kick in billions for a 20 mile long rail road only the elite will ever get to ride.
no matter how corrupt they are, the media plays the fiddle to their tune and the sheeple watch opra tell them how great america is while the trillions in debt paper turns into hundreds of trillions---

I seeded 3- 100 ft rows of bok choy on July 20. In August I ate all the bok choy I could stand, gave some away and fed lots to my chickens and rabbits. This barely made a dent in the amount of bok choy plants that I had. Then around mid September, it started to bolt. Before long, I had 3 foot tall flower stalks covered in small yellow flowers that the bees were going nuts for. When I would walk out between the rows, the buzzing was louder than a busy day at the local barber shop.
The best part of this however, is today is November 17, its about 58 deg., the flowers are still yellow, and the bees are still working it like crazy. We had frost back in mid October, and several nights have been in the low 20s, and it is still green and flowering.
Moral of my story: Make a late planting of bok choy and you will have bee feed late into November.

Afghan journalist's death is a loss for press freedom
Ahmad Omaid Khpalwak covered violent news. His last two stories for Pajhwok Afghan News, before he died on July 28 in a major attack in Tarin Kot, capital of Uruzgan province, were about an attack on police checkpoints in which both Taliban and police were killed, and an interview with a would-be suicide bomber. Few of his 24 years of life saw any kind of peace in Afghanistan.

It seemed just three months ago — OK, it was just three month ago — that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was in theaters. Then, as of last week (March 12), you could download a digital copy of the film, already, from online retailers such as iTunes, Xbox, PlayStation, Amazon, Vudu and CinemaNow.
Now, as of today, (March 19), you can also buy a physical copy of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on 3-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99, on 5-Disc Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack for $44.95, and on 2-Disc DVD Special Edition for $28.98. These discs include more than two hours of additional content.
Plus, according to TheOneRing.net, on Sunday, March 24th, "Peter Jackson will host a live first look at The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the second film in The Hobbit Trilogy." This content will be streamed live but "access to the live event will be limited to holders of an UltraViolet code" available by purchasing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on all these various formats. Clever indeed, Mr. Jackson.
Then, the extended edition, reportedly containing about 20 minutes of additional movie footage, will be coming later this year.
Which reminds me — Peter Jackson, I love you and I hate you. You've sucked me in again.
It's taken me about three decades to admit this, publicly, but I adore J.R.R. Tolkien, largely thanks to you.

NEW HAVEN -- There's no such thing as a quick cup of coffee at the MegaBites Computer Cafe.
By design, each mug of java comes with some leisurely conversation, a relaxed recap of current events or a classic movie.
"The real goal is to open a place where people can slow down, rather than speed up," says Brian Perkins, who owns the business with his wife, Connie.
The Columbia University professor and former New Haven Board of Education chairman has spent the past six months carefully nurturing what he hopes will be an intellectual enclave in a small shopping plaza on Blake Street. He and Connie have tossed a variety of elements into the mix: book signings, computers, Zumba classes downstairs, a liquor license to sell beer and wine and a big-screen TV set on CNN -- when it isn't showing old films on Saturday mornings.
"There aren't very many places in the west section of town where people can have these discourses on what is going on in the country," Perkins says.
Still, for every patron who offers an opinion on the Trayvon Martin case or the U.S. Secret Service scandal, there's the couple from East Haven looking to fax a document or the lady who wants to sit with a glass of wine and study for her insurance license.
"MegaBites is an oasis of peace, quiet and good coffee within the Westville community," writes John M. Spielman of Shelton, a regular customer contacted via email. Spielman, who works as a visiting nurse, explains that MegaBites' friendly atmosphere makes it "easy to settle into the comfortable leather furniture or a good book (or both)."
Sarah House Knecht, a Southern Connecticut State University graduate who now lives in New York City, is a more recent convert. This is only her second visit.
"One of my friends works here and told me about it," she says. "It's nice to work without all of the background noise. You feel like you have a little more space."
For Perkins, 43, MegaBites represents a personal epiphany of sorts.
"I didn't realize the value of slowing down until the last six or seven years," he explains. "I got my doctorate at 26. I was going through my life very quickly. I was the youngest professor ever appointed tenure at Southern Connecticut State University. I was the youngest person appointed to the New Haven school board."
One day, while sitting in his car at a red light near Bassett Street, he happened to look around him and notice people going about their lives. He says it dawned on him that he'd spent his adult life waiting impatiently for lights to turn green, rather than enjoying where he was at any given moment.
That insight, he says, inspired MegaBites. He'd noticed the Blake Street space available for rent as early as 2007, and in 2011 he decided to act.
He's set up armchairs around a small fireplace, created a "laptop bar" along one wall, put up framed photographs of New York City, and arranged other furniture and tables so customers can work and interact.
"This is completely unrelated to what I do for a living," he laughs. "It's not enough to just be a coffee shop. What I want to do here is make connections for people."

Reviews of this property
Everything was perfect. The apartment is nice, very clean and with beautiful views. The only thing we missed was a microwave.
Beds were very comfortable and bathroom is big and has beautiful views too.
Furniture was very new (except TV) and in perfect conditions.
IT had a WIFI that worked pretty well.
We were very well treated. Also there is a phone installed in the apartment that you can use to call the owner if you have any problems.
It is about 15 min walking from center. There are 150 steps (like in almost everywere in Dubrovnik) so it is not recomendable for people that can't climb them
I would go to the same place if I came back to Dubrovnick.
Perfect location close to the old town. Very clean, well furnished and comfortable studio apartment. We had an excellent stay in Ivan's apartment and his mum was a lovely host who gave us lots of help and advise about restaurants, parking etc. There are very steep steps up to the house, although this is pretty standard for Dubrovnik. At the time of our stay there were some problems with wifi. However we would strongly recommend this accommodation for a couple. Warning there is no specific parking space and it is very difficult to find free parking spaces. Dubrovnik is a fabulous city though.
It was perfect. The apartment is quite new and confortable, with a great view. The owner was kind and helpful.
The apartment suited us perfectly over our 4 night stay in Dubrovnik. The location is 5 minutes away from Pile Gate (Main Entrance to the Old Town) making everything very accessible.
Inside there is a good decor and lovely bathroom with shower. It also has a kitchen with everything you could need and a market close by. The apartment is a great price for what you get and while not very big we never felt it was small in any way.
Ivan was very helpful too with organising the stay and kept in contact throughout the weeks leading up to our stay.
Be warned that the apartment is at the top of a fair amount of steps which while not too bad are slightly challenging. However, steps are something you have to deal with all over Dubrovnik.
Trevlig studio med bra sängar, rent och fint. Vacker utsikt över gamla staden.
Man bör vara vältränad eftersom det var många långa trappor.
Lugnt och fridfullt. Värdinnan var väldigt hjälpsam.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The hostess was friendly and charming from the beginning. She gave some tips about the city and the easiest way to reach the sobe and the airport.
The apartment is frankly well located in a peaceful and elevated area (Dubrovnik is a synonymous of slopes and steps) with outstanding views and just 10 minutes walking to visit the fascinating old town.
The equipment is basic and enough for a 2-3 days stay, although we realised not to have more tableware utensils and a microwave. Old town is extremely expensive and having lunch or dinner in the apartment is an advisable option.
The worst thing is the bed which looks more comfortable than it is really. It is not the worst, but I figure out it is sincerely improvable in relation to the price/night of the acommodation.
Nice, confortable and pleasant place in the very middle of the heart of the city.
Just one wish: less steps to climb up to the flat (141!) when you come from the lower town. Just kidding! Perfect place to discover Dubrovnik either walking or by bus. One more positive aspect: very close to car rental agency, very convenient when one wants to go out of the town to drive along the coast.
Appartement confortable et très agréable au cœur de la ville. Juste un souhait : moins de marches à monter (141!) quand on vient de la ville basse...
Situation idéale quand on veut visiter Dubrovnik, que ce soit à pied ou en bus.
Autre plus : appartement situé tout près d'une agence de location de voitures, pour une escapade le long de la côte.
Really a great view of the old town! : D The stylish apartment and very clean textiles all the way down. Contacts with the rental's wife went well in advance and on the spot. 140 steps down to the old town and the 20 steps of the apartment floor! Taxi can not get pretty close, so suitcases are also jaksettava position. So Suits tervejalkaiselle. The idyllic environment with narrow porraskujineen delighted! There was some noise. The nearby road was a little car sounds and favored by young music jytkettä restaurant and a boisterous debate a few nights. Mostly the June nights were black delicate of chirping and cats naukuntaa. ; )
Todella upea näköala vanhaan kaupunkiin! :D Tyylikäs huoneisto ja erittäin puhdas tekstiilejä myöten. Yhteydenpito vuokraemännän kanssa sujui hyvin sekä etukäteen että paikan päällä. 140 porrasta alas vanhaan kaupunkiin ja 20 porrasta huoneiston kerrokseen! Taksilla ei pääse ihan lähelle, joten matkalaukkuja on myös jaksettava kantaa. Sopii siis tervejalkaiselle. Idyllinen ympäristö kapeine porraskujineen ihastutti! Jonkin verran meteliä. Läheiseltä tieltä kuului jonkin verran autojen ääniä ja nuorten suosimasta ravintolasta musiikin jytkettä ja riehakasta keskustelua muutamana yönä. Enimmäkseen kesäkuun öinä kuului mustarastaiden viserrystä ja kissojen naukuntaa. ; )
The apartment was nice and romantic. Be fit to climb the 142 steps! ;)

Officials found guilty in Obama, Clinton ballot petition fraud | Fox News
A jury in South Bend, Indiana has found that fraud put President Obama and Hillary Clinton on the presidential primary ballot in Indiana in the 2008 election. Two Democratic political operatives were convicted Thursday night in the illegal scheme after only three hours of deliberations. They were found guilty on all counts.
Former longtime St. Joseph County Democratic party Chairman Butch Morgan Jr. was found guilty of felony conspiracy counts to commit petition fraud and forgery, and former county Board of Elections worker Dustin Blythe was found guilty of felony forgery counts and falsely making a petition, after being accused of faking petitions that enabled Obama, then an Illinois Senator, to get on the presidential primary ballot for his first run for the White House.
Morgan was accused of being the mastermind behind the plot.
According to testimony from two former Board of Election officials who pled guilty, Morgan ordered Democratic officials and workers to fake the names and signatures that Obama and Clinton needed to qualify for the presidential race. Blythe, then a Board of Elections employee and Democratic Party volunteer, was accused of forging multiple pages of the Obama petitions.
"I think this helped uphold the integrity of the electoral system," the prosecutor, Stan Levco told reporters.
Their verdict of guilt is not a verdict against Democrats, but for honest and fair elections, he said.
The scheme was hatched in January of 2008, according to affidavits from investigators who cite former Board of Registration worker Lucas Burkett, who told them he was in on the plan at first, but then became uneasy and quit. He waited three years before telling authorities about it, but if revelations about any forgeries were raised during the election, the petitions could have been challenged during the contest. A candidate who did not qualify with enough legitimate signatures at the time, could have been bounced from the ballot.
The case raise questions about whether in 2008, then candidate Obama actually submitted enough legitimate signatures to have legally qualified for the primary ballot.
I think had they been challenged successfully, he probably would not have been on the ballot, Levco told Fox News.
Under state law, presidential candidates need to qualify for the primary ballots with 500 signatures from each of the state's nine congressional districts. Indiana election officials say that in St. Joseph County, which is the 2nd Congressional district, the Obama campaign qualified with 534 signatures; Clinton's camp had 704.
Prosecutors say that in President Obama's case, nine of the petition pages were apparently forged. Each petition contains up to 10 names, making a possible total of 90 names, which, if faked, could have brought the Obama total below the legal limit required to qualify. Prosecutors say 13 Clinton petitions were apparently forged, meaning up to 130 possibly fake signatures. Even if 130 signatures had been challenged, it would have still left Mrs. Clinton with enough signatures to meet the 500 person threshold.
Levco said a total of 100 to 200 signatures had been forged on Obamas and Clintons petitions.
An Indiana State Police investigator said in court papers that the agency examined the suspect Obama petitions and "selected names at random from each of the petition pages and contacted those people directly. We found at least one person (and often multiple people) from each page who confirmed that they had not signed" petitions "or given consent for their name and/or signature to appear."
Numerous voters told Fox News that they never signed the petitions.
"That's not my signature," Charity Rorie, a mother of four, told us when we showed her the Obama petition with her name and signature. She was stunned, saying that it "absolutely" was a fake.
Charity told Fox News that her husband's entry was also a forgery, and that they have never been contacted by investigators or any authorities looking into the scandal.
"It's scary, it's shocking. It definitely is illegal," she told us.
Robert Hunter, Jr. told Fox news that his name was faked, too.
"I did not sign for Barack Obama," he told us. As he examined the Obama petition in his hands, Hunter pointed out that "I always put 'Junior' after my name, every time...there's no 'Junior' there
Even a former Democratic Governor of Indiana, Joe Kernan, told Fox News that his name was forged.
This is a bitter sweet moment for free and fair elections," observed Ryan Nees, the Indiana born Yale University senior who first exposed the scheme in the independent political newsletter, Howey Politics Indiana and South Bend Tribune.
Nees said the multiple guilty verdicts were "bitter, because a five-person conspiracy succeeded in illegally placing two presidential candidates on the ballot, but sweet because they were exposed, tried for their crimes, and convicted."
Nees previously told Fox News that the fraud was clearly evident, "because page after page of signatures are all in the same handwriting," and that nobody raised any red flags "because election workers in charge of verifying their validity were the same people faking the signatures."
jrs - far as I'm concerned neither is legal to hold office.

Right up there by Shitcago...they're all shitheads up there!!
Yeah we all knew they cheated already but no one will do anything about it.

There has to be something that can be done with these assholes, They should be removed from office as well as the vice idoit, And then turn it over to Romney & Co. and all laws that were enacted by obama should then be considered nul and void, due to the fact he was placed on the ballot under Illegal proceedures, But you cant tell me that know one else knew about this shit in Dc, and they should be prosecuted as well and removed from politics and Jailed,,And as a Bonus prize he can have biden and fienstien and schumer as cell mates, lets see how well they can run from the real Politicans of the Prision Yard!!, ((( Maybe a Petition on we the people might get some attention, espically take a snapshot of the page when its all done and as soon as the White House takes it Down take it to the news Media and let them ask what happened? it could become very interesting!!!...Doc
I sent a copy of this to some friends of mine last night who have online blogs, and whom do freelance reporting and while they are all open minded, they all dislike the Current administration and what it stands for and what they have done let alone the dishonesty that has occured durining this administation. and they are not the type of people who just stand around and leave things alone. they are kinda like a kid who picks at a wound to get the scab off too see what is exactily underneath the crusty coverup!...Doc

This whole thing is a bit mind bending to say the least , But how many people honestly believe that these are the only few involved, there is no way possible. it takes alot of people to get signatures, who knows what the campagine workers were told to do on getting signatures and how to obtain them, Do I smell a rat of course I do. Just about every President that has held office, weather they were criminal in nature, scandalious affairs with hollywood starlets, or getting thier weaseal waxed on the oval office desk.
I will bet my stach of jelly & glazed Donuts and the 40 xases of beer I have stached that these are not the only offenders to election and or Ballot Fruad , The we have the Birther situation. and the many disagreements placed by the Presidents front men. What I find totally amazing is that men will do anything to anyone and say anthing to get appointed to the Highest Political Position in United States of America, they will , Lie, Cheat,and Steal, But will they Murder? a innocent person to obtain this office that will slowly increase your health problems. What is so great about having to take an office by dishonest measures, yes politices is not a dirty bussiness, it is a filthy dirty discusting scrape the bottom f the barrel lets screw them in the back type bussness, ( far worse than any mafia cases, or auto dealerships.) But since we now have this serious problem of voter signature fruad, this entire administration should be placed under a microscope and examined throughly, for attempting this Now ther is sufficent cause to check all campagine workers, and interview all the signatories of the Ballot Form and get a sampleof thier hand writting for comparrison, Ill bet that this goes so much deeper than we can even comprehend, And why they are in offfice is the time to do an investgation and use Investigators that will not be bought off or discreated by the Governements Witness's, that do not know anything in the first place,this is an old tactic of thiers. In My humble Opinion there has to be a ligitmate site of page somewhere that can be signed and hearing be held into the illegal activities in the obama administration , and Im certain that there will be more than Watergate everthought of, and Im positive that its a whole lot bigger and thier are alot more players. Maybe the Federal RICO Criminal Statues Could apply in this case would'nt that just be lovely!...Doc
I got the torches, anyone have the pitchforks? Lets get the tar and the feathers ready! Anyone? Shoot, I'm thinking in a different time frame I guess. One can only dream right?

Supposed to be a celebration! she's the only one having fun. Lenny K & hatchet face next to him look like a bundle of fun NOT.
Her behaviour could be a 'bit off' very rarely but she's safe.
It must be hard going out mingling when you feel everyone's thinking 'you've been dumped' Good people would treat her warmly, help her through it tacitly.

The patron saint of drug of drug dealers. Jesus Malverde was a Mexican Robin Hood who took from the rich and gave to the poor until he was killed by the police in 1909. Mexican drug traffickers constructed a shrine above his grave in Culiacan, where they worship frequently. It is conveniently located in one of the most frequent marijuana and opium trafficking centers in Mexico. Many drug dealers and distributors buy all sorts of Malverde memorabilia (shirts, statues, figurines) to protect themselves from the police. (seen in A Man Apart)
Yo ese, 5-0! Malverde, mi amigo, deshágase de la policía.
Translation: Yo homes, 5-0. Malverde, my friend, get rid of the cops.

Just a thought, when creating the packages/pricing etc - are you able to output the package configurations via variables.
For example, I have 3 packages - I would like to output the configuration and price of each package onto my "hosting" template..
Then should I adjust the package configuration, pricing etc within the admin panel. It would automatically update the template..
Possible or not?

Universal Music Group saw a 2.1 percent increase in revenue for the first nine months of 2012, compared to 2011. Revenue for the first three quarters of the year was $3.68 billion. However, revenue was down 3.4 percent at constant currency, though an 8.6 percent increase in digital sales and higher license income were "offset by falling demand for physical product." EBITA fell by 2.5 percent to approximately $302 million.
Notably, the gap between physical and digital sales has tightened in those nine months. CD sales were down by 14.2 percent to approximately $1.29 billion, but digital sales rose 8.6 percent and reached $1.16 billion.
Best selling releases for the first nine months of 2012 included new releases from Justin Bieber, Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj, as well as new artists as Lana Del Rey, Carly Rae Jepsen and Gotye. Notable UMG releases for the fourth quarter include Taylor Swift, Rod Stewart, Rihanna, The Rolling Stones and Ne-Yo, among many others.
As for the recent deal to acquire EMI's recorded music division, the company noted, "As a result of this strategically-compelling transaction, UMG further strengthens its presence throughout the world, especially in the United States, Japan, and Germany - the top three leading international music markets. This acquisition also creates even more opportunities for new and established artists, while expanding UMG's presence on all of the major digital music platforms and services. Moreover, the sale process of certain EMI Recorded Music assets is underway and these divestments are generating robust interest. Team integration is also progressing according to plan. The objective of £100 million annual synergies has been maintained."
Overall, UMG parent company Vivendi saw its revenue down by 1.6 percent to $8.48 billion in the first nine months of the year. Adjusted net income fell 2.9 percent to $845 million, with EBITA down 7.3 percent to $1.77 billion.
In related news, Vivendi CFO Philippe Caprone spoke on the UMG-EMI deal yesterday, as well as the label's fiscal report. According to Musicweek, Caprone told investors, "Management focus is currently on EMI integration, which is moving ahead at full speed." He also noted that "The disposal of ... the EMI businesses which we'll had to divest, is underway and is fully on track. And we expect to be in a position to report good news in the coming months regarding this process."
Caprone added, "For music, we unfortunately have to report a relatively disappointing Q3. You remember that we had a brilliant Q1. We had an average Q2. And now we have a Q3 which is not looking as good. We are used, of course, to those roller coaster effects, which are mostly release calendar driven. The good news is that we expect a very strong Q4 on the back of a more promising release schedule."

She was driving a jeep patriot or compass. At least it still shines. The tow truck drivers shirt reflected in the paint while he cleaned up the spilled fluids. I am waiting for my insurance company to tell me if it is totaled or not. My guess is that it is. I hardly felt the impact and the airbag was nice and soft. I am sore as heck today.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rose from No problems I bought this about two years ago and it gets a work out every summer with no problems and no leakage, maybe the negative reviews only apply to the newer models or maybe it's quality is uneven, I previously owned the single pop maker and it had the leakage problem. So you might have a 50/50 chance of having the same. As for the problem with sticking, if it sticks you are probably not using enough sugar. I had that problem at first and then I read the directions throughly and I discovered it works best with fruit juice or sugared liquids. If you use only artificial sweeteners or not enough sugar it will stick. So be warned and read all the directions before use, this mold is picky. another con is all those fancy Popsicles are not easy to make, I bought the accessory kit because it was on sale but I've only used it a handful of times because it is so time consuming.Date published: 2017-05-18Rated 1 out of 5 by Sher54 from Iv/e only used 3 times now have crystals My Zoku Quick pop maker has the seal broken or something. I have crystals around the upper portion of pop maker.Date published: 2017-02-25Rated 2 out of 5 by Tree22 from disappointed We didn't have for very long till the coolant inside leaked out. It worked ok, till then. Didn't expect it to break so fast. I had gotten as gift so couldn't return.Date published: 2016-12-24Rated 3 out of 5 by Scottsdalemom from So so product We had this at our summer home so would use it for a few weeks each summer then store it dry and upright in a cupboard. We found you had to use cold liquid and not overfill it and time it or it was hard to remove. Worked fine until we pulled it out this summer and the blue goo had leaked from where the metal met the plastic and crystallized. Much too late to return to WS so I sent an email to Zoku and they replaced it without having to return old one! Great customer service. We really like the slush maker too.Date published: 2015-11-19Rated 4 out of 5 by ChefMilena from Good Product and Fun This is fun and easy to use product! Great for quickly making yummy frozen treats. I would recommend keeping it in the freezer if you make the pops often, as it takes 24 hours to freeze before making a batch of pops. I have had difficulty with the old super tool, so I purchased the new version with groves. With the addition of the new super tool, it works every time. Also, you have to be extremely careful when pouring not to overfill, because this will make your pops stick.The tool kit includes measuring cups, which enhance this products functionality. I love the many ways you can customize your pops and make them just to your liking.Date published: 2015-08-07Rated 1 out of 5 by Teresa24 from Doesn't Work I bought this product a few years ago, along with all the extra gadgets. At first it worked fine, but now it requires someone with herculean strength to get the popsicles out of the unit. Basically, no one can get the popsicles out once they have frozen. No point in keeping this useless contraption. Don't waste your money.Date published: 2015-07-07Rated 5 out of 5 by mesaga from My Husband's Fave! I bought this for my husband and he uses it all the time. He's even trying fresh fruit concoctions. Works fast, and makes 3 sets of 3 before it runs out of cold.Date published: 2015-06-21Rated 4 out of 5 by Zokureview from We love making beautiful pops! Overall I really like this pop maker. I did have to return one after about a year because after taking it out of the freezer & letting it come to room temp, dry frosty stuff started to form around the edges. Apparently the liquid on the inside had leaked. WS replaced it, no questions asked. We have used the new one with no problems and my 8 eight year old and I really have fun with this thing. Loved it so much we bought the slush maker and Love it just as much, if not more! We tend to use it more often.Date published: 2014-12-14

Gadget Geek's Guide to Cuisine
This week the Gadget Geek covers the latest cooking gadgets that came out of CES and beyond.
In light of NYC's 2Oth annual Restaurant Week and this year's CES, it wasn't hard to narrow down what tech savvy chefs should be adding to their kitchen. Unfortunately, some of the items on this list are yet to be released. In a profession like cooking, it's hard to wade through the cheap kitchen accessories, often the topic of late night television ads, to find the products that will modernize the way we prepare our food without degrading the craft.
Here are the four products we believe will make a difference in the world of cooking.
Thermador's Freedom Induction Cooktop
It may not be hitting tabletops anytime soon, but once Thermador unveiled its new wave of induction cooktop technology this year at CES, everyone has been dying to get their name on the pre-order list. The Thermador Freedom Induction Cooktop is a large stovetop area that gives cooks the freedom to situate any size cookware on a flat surface to heat up. With a surface area large enough to accommodate a 21-inch x 13-inch pan, it's no surprise that it's the largest cooking surface in the industry. The Thermador Cooktop will be available for purchase sometime in July with a suggested retail price of $5,000.
A 6.5-inch, full-color touchscreen display that recognizes pot shape, size, and controls power setting and cooking time
Surface area to accommodate a 21-inch x 13-inch pan with the largest cooking surface in the industry
A range of 4,600-watt maximum power output with Boost feature and 15-watt minimum power output

Samsung's Latest Over The Range Microwave
While many chefs shy away from the thought of justifying the purchase of a microwave, we figure they'll be singing a different tune once they get their hands on the newest Samsung over the range microwave. What's so great about this microwave? It's a toaster oven, a microwave, a convention oven, a range hood and the CES innovation award winner in the eco-design category. With a ton of surprising specs one would not usually expect from a microwave, like an Eco-mode that saves up to 80% of standby energy, an auto defrost option and a sensor that detects food moisture that automatically calculates the optimal time for cooking; this re-imagining of the microwave may spark a new kind of culinary acceptance. There is no suggested retail price at this time.
Ceramic enamel interior
2.1 cu. ft. capacity
Efficient Triple Distribution System which cooks food 20% quicker
400 CFM exhaust ventilation
Sensor Cook/Reheat
Bottom Touch Control Panel
Power and Auto Defrost

Belkin's Chef Stand and Stylus
It may not be the most technologically advanced gadget, but it does thwart a first world problem many of us face when we're in the kitchen. Modeled after a standard cookbook stand, Belkin developed a Chef Stand for those who use their tablets in the kitchen. Not only does the stand include a stylus which gives users the freedom to interact with the tablet without getting their messy hands all over the screen, all of the components can be hand washed. Don't feel silly buying this kitchen accessory, it was given honors in the Design and Engineering Showcase at this year's CES expo. The Belkin Chef Stand and Stylus is being sold for $39.99.
Non slip rubber base
Hand washable
Wand is compatible with any touch screen
The Smoking Gun by PolyScience
Ever since The Modernist Cuisine, culinary accessories are starting to look more like tools we would find in a workshop than a kitchen. PolyScience, a company that prides themselves as being pioneers in scientific culinary technology, have created a hand held food smoker called The Smoking Gun which lets you quickly smoke foods you would not usually be able to with an actual smoker. Think oysters, mayonnaise or even cocktails. The Smoking Gun can be purchased for $99.95.
One-piece, removable anodized aluminum smoking chamber
Heavy-duty metal blower fan - will not melt when heated Efficient, low-noise motor
Excellent for finishing products that are cooked SousVide or other methods where food is not normally directly exposed to fire or smoke
Runs on 4 AA batteries (included)

text: Hi, I'm in SW Fla and have 7 hives. I started about a year ago with one hive, closely followed by 2 more and then a 4th by the end of July. This spring I aquired 3 feral hives and want to get another 2 or 3 soon, a rescue mission on those colonies. My goal is 10 healthy hives. I love everything about beekeeping and have learned so much in just one year. There was a real good day long seminar up in Tampa a few weeks ago.

Robin van Persie will demand the right response from his team when they return to action next month.
Arsenal slipped to a heavy defeat at Manchester United on Sunday but the timing of the season's first international break means they must wait until September 10 before resuming their Premier League campaign against Swansea City.
Van Persie expects a major improvement at Emirates Stadium. "We need to come back," the captain told Arsenal Player. "We have Swansea in two weeks, which is a good opponent and I look forward to that.
"This was the strongest team we had today. We gave our maximum but it was clearly not good enough.
"I don't think we can hide behind injuries or suspensions. It is no excuse. They had injuries too, this is football."
Skipper Van Persie was also full of praise for the travelling Arsenal fans, who sung their hearts out at Old Trafford.
"The fans were great," he said. "That is one really positive thing. They were cheering us up all game for 90 minutes. We really appreciate that.
"Sometimes you see fans leaving early but I did not see that. When we went to the fans to thank them after the game, it looked like every seat was still full.
"That was a good feeling. I love that. It really cheered us up."

If you want to find success in the markets then read on and learn from the mistakes that so many have made before you. If however you want to fail trading the markets (sounds odd right? But oddly not at all uncommon) then there will be many ideas to help you achieve that too. Here is one simple step you can take to virtually guarantee failure if that is your desire; follow the forums. In particular, follow the posters who are not even bold enough to leave their real names.
Many people start trading the markets, most have no training or experience, most subsequently and unsurprisingly lose money and a small number of these failed traders get very vocal and tell everyone else not to bother trying.
These people give trading a bad rap, they regularly pop up leaving misinformed and blatantly incorrect statements about the markets on forums around the world. It's interesting, I know a huge number of successful traders and not a single one that I am aware of spends their day commenting on forums.
It is also interesting that when I am speaking for thousands of people all around the world on how to trade the markets, the audience don't bring up the arguments we see against trading on the forums.
Why not? Because their argument is so weak and their experience so limited that it's best provided safely to friends and family who know no better or from the safety of home protected by the internet. When it comes to the markets, if you want to be successful, be very careful who you listen to!
The purpose of this article is to share with you some of the critical errors that currently unsuccessful traders are making and that failed traders have already made. If you want to succeed, it is wise to first know why so many fail. It's not rocket science and I have said many times before, trading is a profession like any other. It takes time, effort, training, dedication and experience to get good at it. Yet no matter how many times I say that, the failed traders still don't get it. Why do people try trading for a few weeks, fail and then say no one can make money trading? That's as ludicrous as me taking up golf tomorrow, playing for a fortnight and then quitting and complaining because I did not make the PGA tour.
Here are some just some of the critical errors that failed traders make:
They have unrealistic expectations.
Warren Buffet is one of the richest men on planet earth. He has made billions and he made this money investing in the markets. He has become one of the richest people ever to grace our planet by making around 20 per cent per year for over 40 years. Consistency has been the key to his success. He has the uncanny ability to grow his capital while maintaining such returns on billions of dollars invested. He is the best, there is quite simply no one better. Yet I see amateur traders all the time who think they can make 20 per cen per month let alone per year. Others think they will make in the region of 1-5 per cent every single day. Come on! Are you really that much better than Warren Buffet? Have some realistic expectations, aim to get good at trading first rather than trying to get rich quick. All the get rich quick hunters do is prove to the rest of us that there is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme.
They expect to lose and prove themselves right.
Jack Nicklaus and Michael Jordan have both been quoted as saying that they will never take a shot in their respective sports, if they don't expect the shot to go exactly where they want it to. If they doubt the success of their shot, even their game, the chances are very good that their doubt will prove correct. The same is true in trading. If you think you are going to lose then consider saving yourself some money and don't bother proving yourself correct! If however you believe you can succeed, you have one important advantage in your favour. Winners expect to win, losers expect to lose. When winners don't initially succeed, they learn from it and grow stronger - they never lose. When losers don't succeed, they complain, blame others and give up. In other words, they lose. This is true not only in trading life in general.
They have no trading strategy that tells them when and why to buy or sell.
A strategy is much like a recipe. It is a set of rules that we follow diligently to achieve consistency. In trading, while we will never make money on every trade we take, our goal is to have a strategy that when flawlessly executed, will profit more than it loses. If we don't apply a consistent strategy, we cannot expect consistent results.
They do not know where to take profits or cut losses.
Once in a trade, a trader needs to know where he or she is wrong and that is where a stop loss should be placed to cut our losses. Most don't know why they are in the trade in the first place and if you don't know that, how can you possibly know where and when you are wrong? Many start trading and they don't even know what a stop loss is! As for taking profits that is the least important part of trading so I am less concerned about that although it still pays to have some precise rules as part of a good strategy.
WHAT I hear the newbie traders scream? HOW can profit be the LEAST important part of trading??? Why do we trade it if not to profit?! Read on next week and I promise I will explain further but for now here is one thought to consider: the biggest difference between the amateur and the professional trader is this; the amateur focuses on making money, the professional focuses on managing risk.
As I write this column it is getting a bit out control length wise and I have a lot more to write. I will continue this topic in a future column and we will discuss more critical errors such a focusing on just one or two markets, looking for the 'holy grail' of trading, focusing on making money instead of learning to trade well, chasing the market, having no strategy for controlling emotions and failing to implement a risk management plan. The list could go on and it will.
The key message is this: if you want to succeed in trading, learn what mistakes people have made before you, be aware of them, study them and avoid them. Then model someone who is successful in the markets to learn what good traders do.

Former BBC Editor to Head up Institute of Masters of Wine
(United Kingdom) – Former BBC journalist Penny Richards is to replace Siobhan Turner as executive director of the Institute of Masters of Wine.
Richards, who finished her career at the BBC as Asia-Pacific bureau editor, will take up the post at the IMW in May this year.
Currently Richards is the director of global advocacy and research for VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) based in London, and before that she was the head of communications and advocacy for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in India.
Following her career at the BBC, Penny was CEO at The Elders, an organization which worked for peace and human rights using a group of independent former world leaders including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, President Jimmy Carter and Kofi Annan.
"We were very fortunate to have a strong list of highly qualified candidates from both within and without the wine world, and Penny really stood out among them," said Jean-Michel Valette MW, chairman of the Institute.
Valette also thanked Turner – who is leaving the role of executive director at the end of March – for her work heading up the IMW.
"We would not be in the good position we are in without the nine years of dedicated commitment and tireless efforts of Siobhan Turner and her team," he commented.
"I am sure all of my fellow members and the wider Master of Wine community join me in offering Siobhan our sincerest thanks and very best wishes for her next ventures."
Meanwhile, Richards said she was "absolutely thrilled to be joining the Institute."
She also said, "I have known of its remarkable reputation for some time, and have always been in awe of its members' and students' talent and dedication.
"I feel privileged to be taking up the executive director role, and hope I can help maintain the drive for excellence exemplified by Siobhan and her team," she added.
Over the course of March, Turner will be introducing Richards to the Institute's activities and affairs, however, due to her current engagements, Richard's official start is one month after Turner's March 31 departure.
In the interim month of April, the Institute's day to day operations will be in the capable hands of Peter Csizmadia-Honigh (for issues relating to education and exams), Ben McKeown (for communications and events) and Daleen Halford (for accounting and administration).
