No Doubt has pulled their new "Looking Hot" music video after receiving complaints from fans and Native Americans regarding the clip's cowboys and Indians theme.
The video, released on Friday, featured Gwen Stefani and bassist Tony Kanal wearing traditional Native American clothing while attempting to flee from cowboy captors (bandmates Adrian Young and Tom Dumont).

The band addressed the controversy in a statement on their website on Saturday, writing, "As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history.
"Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people," the statement continued. "This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately. The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family, and fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness. We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are."

"Looking Hot" is the second single from the band's latest album, "Push and Shove."

text: FRAMINGHAM, Mass., and SYDNEY, June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- HeartWare International, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTWR; ASX: HIN), a leading innovator of less invasive, miniaturized circulatory support technologies that are revolutionizing the treatment of advanced heart failure, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted conditional approval to an IDE (Investigational Device Exemption) Supplement that allows HeartWare to commence enrollment in an additional patient cohort for ENDURANCE, the Company's pivotal, Destination Therapy clinical study. ENDURANCE is a randomized, controlled, unblinded, multi-center clinical trial to evaluate the use of the HeartWare ® Ventricular Assist System as a Destination Therapy in advanced heart failure patients. The non-inferiority study completed enrollment of 450 patients with end-stage heart failure who had not responded to standard medical management and who were ineligible for cardiac transplantation. Patients were randomly selected to receive either the HeartWare Ventricular Assist System or, as part of a control group, any alternative LVAD approved by the FDA for Destination Therapy, in a 2:1 ratio. The primary endpoint of the trial is stroke-free (Modified Rankin Score > 4) survival at two years, defined as alive on the originally implanted device, transplanted or explanted due to patient recovery. Secondary endpoints include adverse events such as bleeding and infection, as well as functional status, hospitalization, assessment of neuro-cognitive function and patient quality of life. The final implant was conducted in May 2012, which will result in the final patient reaching the two-year follow up point in May 2014. Supplemental Patient Cohort FDA granted conditional approval to a protocol designed to confirm observations from ENDURANCE that sites adhering to more regular monitoring and management of patient blood pressure witnessed a notably lower incidence of neurological events.

Poll - layers
Poll #2 is about layers. When I go for my cut, I am having my hair straightened and then cut dry, for a change.
I had carve and slice layers a year ago with my last texturizer and they've been growing out. Until then, I loved them, but with this last cut, I dislike the ends of my hair (thinned too much so they look stringy) and the shorter pieces/bangs made it hard to wear my hair up or back as I tend to. Now everything is getting more to a length I can be at peace with.
As a result, my hair is feeling very heavy (which is great because it hangs/falls well and barely frizzes) but it does give me headaches sometimes and there is less styling versatility when I wear it down.
Should I let it grow some more to my goal length (another 6-7 inches or so to the bottom of my ribs) and then layer it, or should I never layer again and go for an all one length look, or should I layer now for some life to my hair?
The thing I like about layers is that in the short term (for a few weeks) they do give the hair more bounce, shape and movement. The thing I dislike is that my hair grows quickly and so they get irritating as they grow out, and also that to maintain them they have to keep cutting more and more of your hair short. Stylists always think your hair isn't really short if the back part is long. To me it isn't really long unless it's ALL long. Plus, I want to see how my hair really acts and feels long. But at the same time, I'm bored with it and tempted to texturize or cut sometimes, and layers can be a quick but not too drastic fix.
Again, I have pictures in my album of different lengths with and without layers, so please tell me what you think!
I'm hedging a bit and saying gradual long layers, just because it might give you what you like about layers without the shortness or the risk of stringy ends.
Every once in a while I want to grow out my layers, but when I have had hair that is one length, it has been so thick that it hasn't hung well. Our hair is different, but I think it's the thickness that makes my hair want layers rather than the type of curl. HTH.
I am in favor of long layers too. I think it gives the hair a nice shape and grows out better than multiple short layers.
Carve and slice layers are like a Ouidad cut. Wha do you ask for when you want the long layers? Isn't it annoying to have a bunch of ends a couple of inches shorter than the bottom of your hair?
If the cut is done properly, you don't get a bunch of ends sticking out, just a curved shape at the bottom and the curls clumping together nicely. I try to get layers that are graduated or blended, rather than a series of shelf-like cuts.
You could always "taper", instead of layering.
This produces a fairly blunt cut in the back, with graduated length on the sides. You get length, with shorter pieces on the sides.
I have this cut, and my longest hair is booty length, with the shortest being around breast length at the front and somewhere in-between on the sides.
When all the hair is pulled to the back, it's kind of "U" shaped.
I'm with the subtle layering. It won't ruin the growing out phase, and if done right won't thin out the ends.
I am a weirdo. I do the "blunt" cut that seems to be everyone's least favorite. I just notice that when I have had them, along with other curlies (at least 3a,b's) that if it's layered I can see the layer. it just doesn't blend, one side is a bit shorter than the the other, etc. I guess I weigh my hair down enough that I don't get the pyramid effect and people with layers dont mind what I call the "stair" effect. I hated it in my hair. And it was from a really good hair stylist who successfully did layers on curlies. I just seem to notice it on curlier curlies including myself (when I had layers). :p
This is one of the reasons why a dry cut works well for curly hair. The stair-like layers and uneven length can be avoided. It's not easy to find a stylist who can do this, though.
I am getting my hair blown out to cut it.
I like the idea of the tapered cut, because I really am not crazy about the idea of layers. But we'll see.

Thanks for the query. Kindly meet a Dermatologist to assess the different moles on your skin surface and look for any dysplastic changes which are unlikely. You can also go for a mole mapping if needed. The other thing to remember is you may reconsider removal if you have given anyone of these moles as identify proof somewhere like on a passport or driving licence. You can still get it removed but then you need to carry the medical certificate stating the details of the procedure. Laser and excision are two options with their independent merit and demerits. An expert can do it with barely visible scar.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
369 members
Addendum: I am now in my third year at university and, lamely, most of what I wrote below still applies. University has not been the vessel of transformation I expected; besides one drastic hair-cut and a recent shift from shabby to shabby-genteel as my chosen affectation, I still like everything on my list short of American Apparel T. Shirts, for, dear reader, behind my strident and pretentious tone there beats a human heart. I have had many new experiences however - such as running LadyFest 2010 in Oxford, teaching my hobby, I mean craft, to sixth-formers, going to Canada a lot and, finally, streamlining my profile by getting a goddamn binder. All material for a zine at some point, I imagine. And the important bit - I am now compiling a zine entitled Dissocia with fellow writer, Betty Swallow.
I am an English Student and I live/study in Oxford and London. I started making zines when I was about fifteen, then stopped, then started again, then stopped, and now, in my first year at university I'm beginning a new one entitled 'Culo'. I'm a writer - I would like to be good at it and earn a living Making Shit Up, but it's unlikely. I will probably become a second-rate academic and accept a reasonable teaching post in a bog-standard university. I will have a very cool wife, preferably one richer, better looking and more talented than me and we will adopt many babies of varying ethnicities. I think kissing is hotter than anything. I'm hoping to call my dissertation 'Mouth to Mouth: Kissing as consumption in twentieth century literature.' I gained a love of long/creative/absurd academic titles from Alison Bechdel and was very pleased, on entering university, to find that my tutors encourage it. I also like:
Table tennis
American Apparel t.shirts
My bike
Indian ink
Cocoa butter
Mystery accents
Queer theory
Granta magazine
Fountain pens
This list provokes lots of middle classed guilt, and I wonder if my black/female/queerness off-sets this. I do not support any mainstream political parties. I am socially/morally/sexually/ethically confused, but spiritually sound.

In Clark County, Wash., in the southwest corner of the state, Clark Public Utilities (CPU) provides power to 180,000 customers. Residents have long had access to detailed information on their energy usage; printed reports included with their utility bills track this year's consumption alongside last year's.
But Clark County is taking it to the next level, making saving energy a little more competitive. Using a "social energy" app developed by software company Opower in partnership with the Natural Resources Defense Council and social media giant Facebook, consumers can opt in to a service that challenges them to go public with their energy use.
"It's a tool that attempts to almost gamify the energy consumption comparison type experience," explained Erica Erland, corporate communications manager for CPU.
Launched earlier this year with several utility providers throughout the United States, Clark Public Utilities' September 1 implementation of the tool makes it the 17th U.S. jurisdiction now on board.
"People are now using social media to connect with friends, so we think that having a social component to energy savings will continue to excite people and drive more savings," said Opower public affairs manager Carly Llewellyn.
Currently in soft launch mode, Clark County residents will be notified of the new service in the coming weeks via the Utility's Facebook page and an insert in their monthly statements.
For those who suggest today's energy consumer is already educated about the best methods for cutting down on energy waste, officials suggest more can be done — while many energy savings strategies have been incorporated into modern households, in communities employing Opower's tools in the United States, Canada and Great Britain, consumers have saved more than $168 million on their energy bills. That's a total of 1.4 billion kilowatt hours of energy.
"A lot of people already think that they've done everything they can — they've already switched to CFLs [compact fluorescent lights], they already run their washing machine at night, so they think that they are at baseline," explained Erland. "But when they see their consumption compared to this group of a hundred, it makes them think that there must be other things they can do."
Consumers in Clark County can sign up for the app by plugging in their account number via the Clark Public Utilities website. The app is then populated with specific information on their energy use, and how it compares to others in their area who share certain characteristics, like home size and number of occupants.
Geographically, specific tips are also offered to drive down consumption, and therefore, energy bills. Customers can engage with the app and earn badges by complying with tips that are provided — tips, for instance, on how to weatherize doors and windows.
App users can directly engage with friends, comparing their energy use head to head, or in teams formed to achieve collective energy savings goals.
Erland explained that since the social energy app is a new tool, the utility doesn't have specific goals for energy savings resulting from its use. They are, however, optimistic that the app will help further engage energy consumers in reducing energy waste.
Consumers without access to the social energy app can still compare their energy use to a large database of homes across the country using Opower's site, by entering the amount of their last utility bill. More specific comparison data is available by entering a few fields of basic data about your residence.

Tim Roth Will Have A Fall From Grace
He's set for Jennifer Lynch's latest
Tim Roth is currently busy cramming in as much movie-viewing as he can in between meeting with his fellow judges on the Un Certain Regard jury in Cannes. But he's also locked in a new starring role, signing on to lead Jennifer Lynch's new film, A Fall From Grace.
The movie, written by Eric Wilkinson, finds Roth as a homicide detective tracking down a serial killer. But there's more to it than that, according to the director. "It's about a lot of dark, taboo issues, but it's really a drama about wounds," Lynch tells The Hollywood Reporter.
She'll be hoping for better luck than with her last effort, Bollywood horror action thriller Hisss, which faced major issues during production (chronicled in documentary Despite The Gods) and arrived to poisonous reviews. The director also has serial killer thriller Chained awaiting release.
Roth will next be seen in Arbitrage and Broken. He's got FBI thriller Mobius on his To Do list.

the social and environmental changes caused by very large numbers of students living in particular areas of a town or city
'Students have officially been identified as the new scourge of Britain's towns and cities in a study blaming "studentification" for a string of social evils … They include destroying respectable neighbourhoods by driving out families, triggering rat infestations, causing vandalism and forcing the closure of corner shops in favour of tatty burger bars and cheap off-licences.'The Observer July 2002
The massive expansion of higher education in Britain over the last decade has given rise to a new piece of terminology. Studentification refers to the process of social, environmental and economic change affected by large numbers of students invading particular areas of the cities and towns in which popular universities are located.
consistently described as a negative concept … it describes the rapid conversion of shopping and residential areas to suit the
student market
Studentification is consistently viewed as a negative concept, used in the same context as phrases such as 'student ghetto'. It describes the rapid conversion of shopping and residential areas to suit the student market, such as the proliferation of take-away food outlets and cheap alcohol retailers, and the conversion of larger residential properties into so-called 'HMOs' (houses in multiple occupancy). Studentification has social and economic consequences also, illustrated by the rapid decrease in school class sizes as families move out of such areas, and the sharp increase in house prices as landlords create a property boom.
Though originating in Britain, studentification has also recently been adopted in American English to refer to similar problems arising from the over-population of many US 'College Towns'.
The term studentification was coined by analogy with gentrification, a term used in the 1960s to refer to a middle-class invasion of areas which were formerly thought of as run-down, thereby causing the displacement of many working-class families. Among the first to use the term studentification was Dr Darren Smith of the School of Environment at the University of Brighton, who in 2002 undertook a groundbreaking study of the phenomenon in the Headingley area of Leeds. Smith argues that, with appropriate planning strategies, studentification could in fact have a positive impact in the regeneration of particularly undesirable areas.
Though the verb gentrify exists, there is as yet no substantial evidence for an analogous verb studentify or participle adjective studentified.

Kim Kardashian's Bikini Tweet
Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009 8:52 PM GMT
It's no secret that she loves pictures and loves Twitter, so it only makes sense for Kim Kardashian to post a Twit pic. And this one definitely stands out!
The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" babe showed off her tanned, toned body in a pink and white bikini while in Miami, FL for a Quick Trim photo shoot over the weekend.
"I finally feel I've reached my goal!" Kim tweeted and recently revealed that she lost almost 10 pounds this year, slimming down from 125 to 114 lbs.
Kardashian lost weight by cutting back on junk food and working out 3-5 times a week. In addition to cardio and light weight-lifting, Kim does lots of lower-body exercise to keep her thighs and butt toned.

This blog originally appeared on China Dialogue
Global climate politics started to heat up this week. One day after the US unveiled its carbon dioxide (CO2) control plan, Reuters reported that He Jiankun, a senior Chinese researcher, had said that China might introduce absolute CO2 emission control in the upcoming 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-2020).
Regardless of whether this is an intended round of rhetorical ping pong between the two major emitters, the reference to absolute CO2 emission control on the Chinese side, often dubbed not entirely correctly as a "CO2 cap" (see explanation below), offers an opportunity to map the possible contours of China's future climate plan.
On the one hand, he's view does not represent the government (He is chairman of China's advisory committee on climate change). On the other hand, the notion of introducing an absolute CO2 emission control is not entirely beyond expectation. In fact, it is both a natural and an important next step for China's climate governance.
Here, a quick review of China's recent climate policies will help understand the context better.
Over the past decade, the country has followed a pragmatic step-by-step approach in setting climate and energy targets. In the current 12th Five Year period (2011-2015), China has adopted a so called "double-control" measure on energy consumption, namely to regulate both energy intensity and absolute energy consumption (so called "energy cap"). What differentiates these two measures is whether or not they are legally binding.
As part of China's overall pre-2020 climate commitment, its energy intensity target is strictly legally binding. In contrast, the energy consumption target is only aspirational. On the CO2 front, however, China has yet to employ such a "double control", leaving only a CO2 intensity target in effect in this five-year period. It is therefore a natural extension of Chinese climate policy to bring the absolute dimension on board over the next five-year period.
If China does indeed add a "CO2 cap" into its 13th Five Year Plan, it is an effort that should be welcomed. For regulators, it is no small step to add in a new CO2 dimension, which would not only require a new line of reporting but also force improved measurement, reporting and verification at all levels of jurisdiction. The international implications are also worth noting. Following a step-by-step logic, it is reasonable to expect a domestic absolute CO2 control measure in the 13th Five Year period to be translated into some type of absolute CO2 rule internationally in the 14th Five Year period, or the post-2020 period.
What matters at the end of the day is of course the CO2 emission figure. One caveat is that the term "CO2 cap" generates a misperception that it is mandating a declining target. The fact is that the 13th Five Year cap (if indeed there is one) will very likely be one that still allows room for emission growth. It is in this context that the absolute CO2 emission figure proposed for 2020 and any future policy reference on emission peak will be critically important. At this stage, one thing is absolutely clear: in terms of China's emissions peaking, the climate cannot wait until 2030.

What might global warming and its effects mean for food and food production? First we need to address the argument that elevated carbon dioxide levels increase crop production. Aside from this being disingenuous because the CO2 is also causing warming and other effects that could be harmful to crops, there is evidence that increasing CO2 will not help crops as much as expected, and may even harm some crops and sea life, never mind the warming (Cline 2007: 23-26). While earlier enclosed studies showed increased growth with added CO2, recent open field studies show less increase and even a decline of some crops (Long, et al. 2006, Cruz, et al. 2007: 480). Furthermore, crops were found to be less nutritious (Högy, et al. 2009), and had greater pest damage (Hunter 2001). In the real world, crop growth is affected by many factors beyond CO2, including other nutrients, water supply, climate, extreme weather events, soil moisture, toxins expected to increase with global warming, and soil acidification from CO2 (Oh and Richter 2004). So while CO2 may moderately enhance crops up to a point, these other factors are expected to limit the potential enhancement and even lead to eventual declines. When the impact of warming is considered, a nonlinear relationship regarding crop productivity has been found for mid and high latitudes -- the U.S., Canada, Europe, Russia, Japan and Northern China -- with increased yields projected up to around 2050, after which the warming causes sharp decrease (Schlenker and Roberts 2009). A more recent study has found that climate change has already reduced some crops globally, despite CO2 fertilization and improved technology (Lobell, et al. 2011). As for sea life, an important human food supply, CO2-caused ocean acidification is having negative impacts on zooplankton (at the base of the food chain), shellfish, fish, and coral reefs, home to one-fourth of sealife (Rogers and Laffoley 2011; Doney, et al. 2009; Hoegh-Guldberg, et al. 2007; Munday, et al. 2010).

BusinessWeek has a short piece on steps taken by Dell's Senior Manager of Global Packaging, Oliver Campbell, to reduce the computer company's shipping waste:
Another innovation story Campbell shared: he was part of team working with an enterprise customer which had purchased several thousands of Dell servers about a year ago. He noticed that after the installation, the client was faced with a huge pile of packages. "Literally, there was a mountain of server-boxes. I thought, there has to be a better way of doing this," Campell told me. It was a Friday night, he said, and the server installation was the last job of the week. Campbell and his colleagues were sharing beers with the clients to wind down and celebrate the end of the installation, as people do to keep customer relationships alive and well. And then Campbell started paying attention to the six-packs' packaging–and inspiration hit.

Jan. 19, 2012
KNOXVILLE — The challenge of taking over a new team that Dave Serrano faces this season at Tennessee is one Terry Francona knows well.
The former Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies manager was in town Wednesday night as the keynote speaker for the 2012 Tennessee Baseball Leadoff Banquet, presented by Coca-Cola. Francona says the first season, while a challenge, can be the most important in a coach's tenure.
"Your first year in, it's your biggest chance to put your stamp on a program or a team," he said. "Dave comes from a good program and he's coming to a good program. They're in one of the toughest conferences, if not the toughest conference in the country, so they've got their work cut out for them, but this is a good place to make your mark."
Making a mark early on in a stint is something Francona has experience with. In 2004, he took over a Red Sox team that had finished a game shy of the World Series a year earlier and turned it into Boston's first World Series Champion in 86 years.
En route to the title, the team pulled off one of the most famous comebacks in Major League Baseball history, rallying from a three-game deficit to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series to win eight straight games, defeating the Yankees and sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
In 2007, Francona again led the Sox to a World Series crown, claiming the title against the Colorado Rockies, also in four games. Francona has never lost a World Series game as a manager.
Sharing a division with the Yankees, in addition to managing in the National League East with the Phillies from 1997-2000, has Francona in the unique position of understanding the challenge Serrano faces entering the SEC, a conference that features the back-to-back national champions and that sent three teams to the College World Series last season.
"If you're going to be the best, then you might as well play the best," Francona said. "We were in the American League East, and I know the SEC and how good it is. If you really want to reach your goals, whether the goal is the College World Series or the Major League World Series, you might as well play the best."
Most fans know Francona for his decorated managerial career, but the college game is still dear to the former Arizona Wildcat. As a player, Francona twice reached the College World Series and won a national title in 1980, the year in which he was also named the CWS Most Outstanding Player. The NCAA named Francona to its All-Time College World Series Team in 1995.
"We went in 1979 and lost, then came back in 1980 and won," Francona said. "I don't care where you are, from Double-A to the College World Series or the Major Leagues, when you win and you can say your team is the best, it's the most gratifying feeling in the world. The feeling is no different when you jump on the pile in the major leagues, the money is a little better, but the feeling is the same."
Following the 1980 season, Francona embarked on a Major League playing career that would span 10 seasons and five teams, including five seasons with the Montreal Expos. With time spent on both sides of the chalk lines at all levels of baseball, Francona says the game is ultimately a very simple one.
"Players are players," he said. "When you get inside that clubhouse, it doesn't matter who you are, you better have some thick skin, because you're a family, and the best teams are a close family."

Aluminized 42 draft design 3 inch downpipe mated with a fully mandrel bent and tigged catback. It utilizes a 3 in MagnaflowXl turbo muffler (14 inch iirc). It has a single outlet ( always hated the sound of the twin exhaust ) the exhaust finishes off with a subtle 3 inch turn down on the driver side cut out. The sound can be as mild to as loud as you like. It's very liveable in the cabin with minimal drone.
I'm looking for 400 plus your stock dp to catback coupler ( just the coupler I destroyed mine) . Davespeed can do the swap at his garage for reasonable price.

Assisted living center robbed at gunpoint
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Two people robbed an Idaho Falls assisted living center early Wednesday morning.
Idaho Falls police said the robbers are white men. They wore jeans, dark hoodies, gloves and ski masks.
Officers were called to the center on 1950 E. First around 3:15 a.m.
The employee on duty said two men came into the building through the front door. One man displayed a handgun.
They took the narcotics from the medicine cabinet and fled the building.
Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to contact police at (208) 529-1200 or Crimestoppers at 522-1983.

Since most car commercials are aimed at men, they tend to concentrate on two themes dear to the male psyche: engineering and escape. Honda, by domino-effect nuts, bolts and carburettors, make notions of perpetual motion seem vaguely plausible. Saab attempt to convince you that the only good reason to miss a Cup Final is to tear-arse it around an empty Euro-city, making light of the hairpin bends, cobblestones and cathedrals. Both imply that cars are the ultimate gadgets, the world's greatest and most expensive toys.
Now with the Peugeot 407 this ethos is turned on its head. In a commercial that could have been art-directed by a more cheerful Tim Burton, ordinary people are seen hopping in and out of super-scale Dinky toys. Vast bridges and busy city streets are gridlocked with primary-coloured clockwork vehicles. It is spectacularly, chillingly beautiful, like some psilocybin, Sgt Pepper vision of hell.
Then, out of nowhere, a black 407 appears. We see it only momentarily, but boy does it make an impression. "Playtime is over," declares the tag line, with a lofty portentousness worthy of Edgar Allan Poe. This is bold by any standards. By Peugeot's standards it's extraordinary. It's so, well, honest. Like the Renault, the Peugeot has never been a car people boast about. They may recently have claimed that their cars are "the drive of your life" but few people who have ever driven one, or been driven in one, are fooled by that.
Leaving aside the vehicle's blandly uninspiring design and workmanlike efficiency there is the simple fact of the name. Ferrari, Aston Martin, Pontiac and Porsche roll off the tongue and suggest luxury, speed and sex.
Do Peugeot cars have the sort of dashboard upon which you can rack out lines of coke, or the kind of windows through which you can elegantly bribe policemen? Would Peugeot have the swagger to rig an election, build an empire or illegally invade sovereign territory? Would So Solid Crew drive a Peugeot? No, no and no again. And it's this caution and thoughtfulness that the 407 ads so deftly make a virtue of. "My God," you think, "I could be a grown-up too."
Frankly, I want one.

My white wedding is looming in the near future so I was inspired by these wedding pictures, Chris Munton is a genius! The daughter looks gorgeous, I love her head-piece.

I just installed a new pair of Infinity Reference 6000cscomponent speakers in the front of my WRX. These speakers sound AWESOME! Right now im running an old 2-channel amp to power them, a Kenwood with 100 watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms.
Here's what I'm wondering: The woofer component of the Infinity system can take 90 watts RMS, but the tweeter is labled as being capable of 50 watts RMS. So, what kind of wattage should I feed my speakers to get maximum potential out of them? I'm thinking I should get a 2-channel amp that puts of decent wattage for these front speakers, and then I'll get a separate 2-channel amp that put out slightly less power for the rear speakers, which are going to be a set of Infinity Reference 5000cs components.
Any ideas or recommendations would be great.

Put yourself on the other side – think like a buyer.
...price affordability and allowance, don't you think?
Another important thing:
Do you have rights to use these car photos?
For the last few months I have some rejections although I use photographs taken by me. The origin of the photographs used in the preview has to be clearly indicated to the reviewers – that's according to the new Envato rules.
1. You are not allowed to use icons (logo type) of any social media.
2. You are not allowed to use any photograph with recognizable faces. You need a written permition by the model or license to use the photo.

The logo is too similar to the logo of CNBC.
I don't know, may be this is the reason.
These stars are very risky, btw.
I have an item that is designed for A4 printers only. It is fully scalable and it is easy to be printed on A3 for example. This is clearly written on the item description.
Nevertheless I have a bad rating by one of my buyers because he just did not read the item description.

Riviera Stars
Well, at least the star of my wee life… and that is ample to sample already. We should all heart one another, first yourself and then naturally others. A gal or a guy liking themselves can subsequently encourage others without any a soupcon of jealousy. As the French Riviera goose bumpsees in the film festival fever, I applaud the talented ladies and gents, raise my Cosmo and say… long live le cinéma – and all of us, our lives' priceless stars!

Berditchev (Hasidic dynasty)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berditchev Hasidim, also known in Yiddish as Berditchiver Hasidim, originated in the town of Berdychiv, which over the years was under the control of Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine.
During the 18th century Berditchev was an important center of Hasidism. Rabbi Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev (1740-1810), also known as the Kedushat Levi in honor of his great Talmudic and pietistic work, became the inspiration for subsequent generations of Berditchiver Hasidim.
Today, there are several synagogues called Berditshev, of which the rabbis of some are called Berditshever Rebbes.
