United Continental, the world's largest airline, has become the first US airline to take delivery of Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane this week.
United said it expects to fly the plane to its Houston hub from Boeing Field in Seattle this week. The first of five 787s United should receive this year will be used in a month-long training program before it enters commercial service.
Chicago-based United has ordered 50 Dreamliners. Other carriers that have received the jet are All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines of Japan, Ethiopian Airlines, Chile's LAN Airlines and Air India. Qantas recently cancelled its order for 35 Dreamliners in an effort to save costs, but will still receive 15 of the aircraft next year to be flown by subsidiary Jetstar.
The 787 is the world's first commercial passenger jet with an airframe made largely of carbon composites instead of aluminum. Because of its lighter weight, the plane consumes 20 per cent less fuel than other jets its size on similar routes.
Average list prices for the 787 family start at $US206.8 million ($A198.2 million).
In other Dreamliner news, launch customer ANA said on Friday it would order 11 more Boeing 787s, with a total list price of around $US2.68 billion, hoping the fuel-efficient aircraft will help cut costs.
The announcement comes as Japan's once cosseted airline industry faces rapid change with the entrance of several low-cost carriers.
"ANA currently has 55 Dreamliners on order, 13 of which have so far been delivered, and the new order today will take ANA's fleet of this innovative and fuel-efficient airliner to 66," ANA said in a statement.
The carrier, Japan's biggest by passenger numbers, said all of the new aircraft will be B787-9 and are expected to be delivered between 2018 and 2021.
"ANA's future fleet plans involve the gradual replacement of the Boeing 767 and Boeing 777-200 with the 787," the company said.
"The fuel efficiency of the B787-9 is similar to that of the B787-8, while it has greater seat capacity, helping support the profitable expansion of ANA's international and domestic route networks."
The company gave no value for the order, but airlines rarely pay the list price for planes.
The airline got its first 787 in October last year and is now flying the plane on eight domestic routes, as well as from Tokyo's Haneda airport to Frankfurt in Germany.
Plans are in place for the 787 to be used on a new Tokyo to San Jose route, and to replace aircraft currently used on the service to Seattle from October 1. From October 28, the Haneda to Beijing route will use the Dreamliner, the company said.
However, an ongoing territorial row between Japan and China over disputed islands in the East China Sea has badly dented demand for flights between Asia's two largest economies.
ANA said Tuesday 18,800 seat reservations had been cancelled on routes between the two countries for the three months to November.
The carrier said in August that it was back in the black, logging a net profit of 668 million yen ($A8.2 million) in its fiscal first quarter to June, reversing a year-earlier loss, thanks to increased travel demand.
It had seen an 8.1 billion yen operating loss in the first quarter of last year as passenger demand collapsed in the aftermath of the March 11 earthquake-tsunami and meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
But cost cutting and a recovery in international travel demand helped the airline post a record operating profit of $US1.2 billion in the fiscal year ended in March.
ANA said international flight sales rose more than 20 per cent on year in the latest quarter.
Japan's aviation market has long been dominated by ANA and rival Japan Airlines (JAL), but this year has seen the launch of a number of new cheap carriers that could challenge that supremacy.
Both airlines have themselves invested in the new budget start-ups.
ANA last year set up Peach Aviation with a Hong Kong investment fund, while JAL announced a tie-up with Australia's Qantas to launch Jetstar Japan.
AirAsia Japan -- a joint venture between ANA and Malaysia's budget firm AirAsia -- has also launched its lower-cost service.
In its earnings report ANA said it saw a host of other challenges for the year to March 2013 including rising oil prices and exchange rate fluctuations.
In July the company stole the march on JAL's refloating, which happened Wednesday, with a new share issue that saw it offer 914 million new shares.
The issue raised 173 billion yen, which the company at the time said would be used to fund the expansion of its fleet.
Ahead of Friday's announcement, ANA closed flat on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 176 yen.
The Dreamliner was touted as the great new hope for US manufacturer Boeing, which says its next-generation composite fibre body reduces weight and boosts fuel efficiency.
But it has been hit by a series of glitches, including test engine trouble in July that was the subject of a probe by the US National Transportation Safety Board.
On July 23, ANA said it was grounding five 787 Dreamliner jets for repairs because of a defect on the Rolls-Royce engine.
In February, Boeing said around 55 Dreamliners were at risk of developing a fuselage problem.

They are VERY good!!! And very filling!!!! Yes, would recommend them!
These are so delicious! I drink them for breakfast when I can get them cheap; they're pretty expensive
They are pretty good, tastes like slim fast and they are on sale at walgreens this week 2 for $10, get back a $5 reward.. so $3 for 2 of them!! Great price for being around $6 a four pack regularly.
They are good but I found they taste like the plastic bottle. Ironic since they knock the slimfast can, lol. If they are very cold it is barely noticeable.
YES!!!! I love them. If I'm super busy & I'm hungry, I drink one & it'll hold me up for about another 2 hours or so.
They are VERY GOOD, but beware they are like crack! Very addicting 🙂

Agencies Start To Represent 'The Next Influencers': Fashion Bloggers
The growing reputation of writers with their own blogs has led to them hiring agents for deals and advertising.
Fashion bloggers like Lindsey Calla of Saucy Glossie and Kelly Framel of The Glamourai are becoming more respected in their field as companies start to realize how useful they can be for influencing consumers and advertising products. As a result, many are joining agencies to help secure endorsement deals with brands, advertisers and sometimes even TV commercials. The NY Times reports that New York-based agency Digital Brand Architects currently represents 50 bloggers and is working to position them in the same category as stylists, makeup artists and photographers.
The advent of agents who specialize in fashion bloggers points to the evolving influence of blogs. Once considered fashion-obsessed amateurs, style bloggers have matured into tastemakers and savvy marketers who can command four- and five-figure fees from brands…Until recently, fashion bloggers were paid with free merchandise, if they were paid at all. But that started to change as their influence grew.

Yeah, it's easy for you
Off the top of your head, not using a calculator:
One billion seconds is equivalent to about how many years? Is it 480 years? 218 years? 106 years? 32 years?
Mastering ideas about time and space isn't easy, especially for young students.
Educators and researchers are struggling to help students understand the concepts of complex three-dimensional space and deep geological time – areas where competence is essential for a geologist.
The Geological Society of America's "Earth and Mind II," published as GSA Special Paper 486 earlier this year, examines geoscience education and the concepts of time, space, systems and field.
In each section, a number of authors provide their thoughts and theories about education and those topics – including a theory that the ability to think about complex space and time might be a talent, something like inherent musical ability or athletic skill.
Kim Kastens and Cathryn Manduca served as editors for the volume.
Manduca is director of the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College in Northfield, Minn. Kastens, formerly affiliated with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, recently became principal scientist in charge of science education at Educational Development Center Inc. in Waltham, Mass.
In the book, their work begins with an examination of the scientific and collaborative nature of geology as a profession. The ability to be a geoscientist is, as much as anything, a frame of mind.
"Geoscientists operate in a frame where the geographic, spatial and temporal details are very important. A conversation is unlikely to proceed very far before the geoscientist seeks to make sense of information using this frame," Manduca and Kastens wrote in their introductory paper.
This framework assumes the geologist can work with and make sense of complex ideas about space and time. Helping students think in that frame has been a challenge for educators.
Another challenge for geoscience teachers is convincing students that geology is actually a science.
As a science, geology stands apart from those sciences grounded in more traditional, experimental methodology, Kastens observed.
"The first thing for both students and educators to realize is that the ways geologists have of seeking truth is somewhat different from the way experimental scientists do," she said.
The scientific method typically involves experimentation using a controlled variable and carefully controlled conditions, with deductions based on multiple outcomes and observations leading to a defensible conclusion or set of conclusions.
Very few of the breakthroughs or major advances in geology – you could say almost none – were made that way, Kastens noted.
Geological interpretation requires a different way of thinking about space, time and reality.
"If students don't realize that's a way to make or reach conclusions," she said, "they can come away thinking, 'This isn't actually a science,' or they don't understand the kind of claims we can make."
And that's not the only challenge faced by geoscience teachers.
Jonna Gentry teaches ninth-grade Earth Science at Green Mountain High School in Lakewood, Colo. She is AAPG's 2012 Earth Science Teacher of the Year.
Gentry might be fighting a different kind of fight than the one described in "Earth and Mind II."
"A lot of our students walk into the classroom and say, 'Well, I don't like Earth science,' even though they've never taken an Earth science class," Gentry said.
She described the young teens as "natural-born biology students," but said some of them have a pronounced antipathy toward studying geology.
"Astronomy tends to be very fascinating for them. Meteorology is fascinating for them. I don't know where it comes from, but they think rocks are just boring," she said.
Despite being literally under their feet, the complex geology of the Earth is an abstraction for most young students. So is the concept of prolonged periods of time that can run into the tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years.
Science teachers seem almost desperate to make these abstractions more concrete.
"We try to use as many manipulatives as possible and as many things kids can touch as possible. We show a lot of PowerPoints – 'This is the way things look in the field,' " Gentry said.
"A lot of it is, 'Can they attach it to something in their lives?' and, 'Why is it important?'" she added.
Whether or not the ability to think about complex space is a talent, there's little doubt that some people do it better than others. Researchers have studied the way K-12 students think about spatial concepts.
"A very robust finding coming out of that research is that there is a large variability in spatial abilities," Kastens said.
Gentry agrees that spatial skills develop differently in different students, and says she sees the variation in her classroom.
"It's like putting together pieces of a puzzle," she said. "That's what geology is like. Some kids are really good at putting the spatial together, and some kids really struggle with that."
Students in their teens also can have a problem conceptualizing large numbers outside of their normal frame of thinking, like the concept of "one billion" (if you are 32 years old or older, you already have lived more than one billion seconds).
"Billions of years. That's really tough," Gentry said.
Teachers often use spatial concepts to help students understand temporal concepts. For instance, a timeline on paper is a two-dimensional representation of time.
To a professional geologist, the difficulty of teaching these concepts might seem strange.
"Teaching students about the magnitude of geological time using analogies requires overcoming the challenges in aligning spatial and temporal scales. Experts who have succeeded in doing this may find it difficult to understand why students find this hard to do," wrote Ilyse Resnick, Kinnai Atit and Thomas Shipley of Temple University.
Kastens said using spatial analogies to explore concepts of time is a useful tool.
"It's good in that it lets us tap into this wonderful ability the human brain has to do things like, for example, recognize patterns," she said. "By making spatial representations we can have a shared artifact that we can share with other people, and we can save it for use later."
But time and space don't work the same way, so the approach does have some pitfalls.
"The human brain wants to assume that equal space converts to equal time," Kastens noted. "That's drastically untrue."
If the hurdles faced by both geoscience teachers and geoscience students seem like too much of a challenge, there is one saving grace. Remember, competence in understanding complex space and deep time is essential for a geologist.
The key word is "competence," not brilliance.
Educators are reaching the conclusion that they can teach almost any student to be competent in thinking about space, time and systems, regardless of inherent levels of ability.
"Many instructors consider spatial abilities to be a divider separating students who can be successful geologists from those who should 'try some other career.' This view is not supported by research," wrote Steven Reynolds of Arizona State University.
"Any kid can be a good problem solver. Any kid can do critical thinking," Gentry said.
"It's doable. My colleagues have seen this, too," she added. "We get students who say, 'Oh, now I see what this is about!'"
Geoscience education continues to evolve, and "Earth and Mind II" provides a window on some current thoughts in this area in a collaboration among geoscientists and cognitive scientists.
"It's really timely to have this conversation, because K-12 education is moving aggressively into practices. 'Practices' is the term they are using to talk about ways of thinking. The fancy word is 'epistemology,'" Kastens explained.
"I think this book moved the conversation forward," she said.

Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Oak Creek Sikh community.
You have told us some of the positive things you have taken away from the Oak Creek shooting.
One year ago, a neo-Nazi opened fire on a Sikh place of worship in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
"He went to render aid," Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards says.
Because of that, the Oak Creek gurdwara was always a special place for me.
Lewis Wallace advanced his division across Oak Creek to the large field.
"Then we'd have to get them in to Oak Creek to-night," added Mr. Brewster.
"I suppose they hired those horses from Oak Creek," ventured Mrs. Brewster.
It struck Carley that he had not looked so upon her arrival at Oak Creek.
Continuing through great parks and plains he finally descends to the well-wooded valley of Oak Creek, an affluent of Rio Verde.

Cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Our adoption fee includes spay/neuter, immunizations, testing for FeLV/FIV, and deworming. We try to have all our pets stay in a foster home where we can get to know their personalities well and help make the best match for your family. Our normal adoption fee is $100 for kittens under 12 months, and $25-75 for cats over 12 months of age. Some pets may have part of their adoption fee sponsored as well.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Fashion Brand Creates Their Lookbook With Das Racist Exclusively On Instagram
Moss teams up with the hip hop group to showcase their Fall/Winter 2012 collection in a digitally novel way.
Moss is a boutique streetwear brand that used an iPhone 5 and Instagram to capture their Fall/Winter Lookbook.
Lookbooks are usually professionally shot, but the brand decided to take the 'gloss' and overdone look out of streetwear by giving hip hop group Das Racist control. Two of the members, HEEMS and DAP, are featured in the lookbook around Brooklyn.
Check out some of the shots below:
Founded by Shahed Serajuddin, Moss has an urban/tribal aesthetic that blurs the lines between high fashion and street style. Part of what underlies such a style is authenticity; this lookbook can be seen as a tactic that underlines that. By partnering with an alternative hip hop group with strong New York roots and leveraging their strong digital presence, the menswear brand garners the appreciation of Das Racist's fan base and unveils their their latest products in a way never seen before in the fashion world.

Zechs one half by kyubichanWatch
©2003-2017 kyubichan
This was a peice I did for Comic Con Int. Artshow in 2001 that was sold. I really liked the full version, and if I can ever find the original sketch I drew, I'll make another one. If you can't tell, this is only half the image. In letting my roommate scan for me. She managed to completely miss a segment of his midriff (since it needed to be scanned in peices) and I couldn't paste the full version together. Never the less, I really loved the way this painting turned out. It's watercolor in gouache style. In reality I think that's the only way I'm good at watercolors. ;p
He's so pretty! ^.^
Very sexy~
Nice! *drool*
MILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS PICTURE! beautiful work, mili is my FAVORITE anime character, it gives me such a thrill to see him here on the d.a.! awesome work, you rock!
How can I look at such an exquiste picture of Zechs and not fave it? I wish I could see the full versian, but this is good enough for me. ^_^ Oh, and I like the colors. Very nice.
this is so good! ^^ i love Zechs. i wish i could see the whole thing tho!!!

Quick: What's the most watched sporting event in the world? Sorry, the Super Bowl or World Series don't cut it. The correct answer is the World Cup. More than 600 million viewers watched some part of the soccer match between France and Italy in 2006, according to the Initiative Worldwide, an advertising firm.
Like the Olympics, World Cup games are played over several weeks in a host country at various venues. Beginning in June 2010, South Africa will host the World Cup, and the country's preparation and infrastructure transformation tell a remarkable story. Five new stadiums were built and five others are undergoing major renovations.
This started with a $56 billion allocation in 2007 for infrastructure improvements for roads, airports, railway, city cleanup, hotels, telecommunications and much more.
What does any of this have to do with technology? Quite a bit, I think. I visited South Africa in September to speak at their GovTech 2009 conference in Durban (not affiliated with Government Technology magazine). I definitely was impressed. I've been to conferences in the United States and Europe over the past 25 years, but this was my favorite -- offering wonderful hospitality and global technology perspectives.
I expected to see a lack of hope in a country with 23 percent unemployment. Despite the country's problems, there was undeniable excitement in the air. Our hosts thoughtfully interacted with technology experts from around the world. They also demonstrated how they're implementing disruptive technologies with a sense of urgency. Wherever I traveled, people displayed a remarkable optimism about the future.
One topic discussed in detail at the conference was broadband connectivity in South Africa. Similar to the United States, expanding high-speed Internet access to rural and underserved areas is a major initiative. New fiber and wireless capacity is being deployed across the country. Communications support to the World Cup stadiums will include a network backbone to support at least 40 Gbps to provide voice, data and high-definition TV. New high-capacity bandwidth connecting Africa to the world also is being added via undersea projects, such as SEACOM, which will provide African retail carriers with equal and open access to inexpensive bandwidth.
Another topic was redundancy and disaster recovery. In a country traditionally known for leisurely running on "African time," the World Cup organizers made it clear that "the show must go on -- on time." With fans expecting precise game-time logistics, technology and communications experts are focused on the importance of being prepared and asking "what-if" questions.
So what lessons did I take away that can help government professionals?
- Attitude is everything. If a country that has experienced so many struggles for decades can be optimistic, we certainly have no excuses for being pessimistic. South Africa has emerged from apartheid and developed a positive outlook for a new tomorrow. Positive morale within our technology teams is essential to long-term success, and we must regain that can-do momentum. Our strategic plans start with our people.
- Leverage national, state and local events to invest in the future. While your region may never host a World Cup, there are always unique opportunities that emerge. Even negative situations can be turned into positive projects if we engage the right stakeholders. We need to revisit infrastructure areas, such as broadband expansion and health IT stimulus dollars, to create new cross-boundary relationships.
- Listen, plan and execute. The South Africans have gone the extra mile to turn a (very big) sporting event into a transformational moment for their country. They're reinventing government by truly listening to global experts. More than that, they're building plans and implementing technology in inspiring ways.
One South African technology leader closed his remarks with stories of how government can positively impact the lives of ordinary citizens: "The business of business is to do business for benefit." We can learn from how South Africa has taken "its game" to a whole new level.

Jimmy Kimmel has developed an interesting gag called "Lie Witness News." This is a structured version of Jay Leno's "Jay Walking" combined with various man-on-the-street attempts done by comics locally and nationally. Making fools out of the public just seems too easy. This particular episode from April appears to make the nation's youth seem like a massive horde of bullcrappers. Apparently it is getting harder to simply say, "I don't know." That said we must assume and hope that most of the clips were left on the cutting room floor.
It couldn't have been easier. I mean Coachela, which is full of the most retarded liberul millennials there are. It was actually too hard not to find nobrainers in that place.
Stupid youngsters!
I hope I die before I get old…..
My Generation
Dvorak is such an ageist. 🙂
Kimmel is great. One of the best late night shows.
Lie Witness News and This Week in Unnecessary Censorship are hilarious. You can YouTube 'em.
In Canada, Rick Mercer (Rick Mercer Report, and used to be in This Hour Has 22 Minutes) has also been doing this type of gag on his shows for years such as in his 'Talking To Americans' routine.
Wikipedia it or YouTube it. RM also got Pres Bush with this one.
These just go to show that there are gullible people everywhere.
These are millenial sheeple.
Very much like the Eloi in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine.
Scary though, Wells thought it would take until 802,701 to achieve this level of society.
Anyone who works in television production will be familiar with this, but it isn't just about age. Many people will tell a reporter anything if they think it means they'll get on television.
Likewise, many a reporter will tell the public anything if they think it means they'll stay on television.
The old show from australia "chasers" did this kind of stuff all the time. My favourite is the one where they ask people on american streets to point to North Korea on a map or the one where they asked them "where does federal government borrow money from" it is hillarious.
All you have to do is tell the interviewees "Go along with the gag, okay?" and you can make 19/20 people look like idiots.
If you can find them, go look at some of the things you wrote in high school before you cast stones. I have — it was humbling.
Sadly Dvorak, you display the same error you complain of.
While melican and Uncle Patso have some of it, IN THE MAIN: the show filters out the knowing responses.
I do assume you KNOW this as well as I do, as well as everyone posting here "but" you were caught off guard and went with your initial gut response—just like the people shown in the clip, except you had more time….. lots more time.
See how that works?
I do wonder who is playing whom as the worst chumps? You with this post, Late Night TV with these biased/filtered "gags", or the TeaF*ckingPublican party?
Its all the same trick: lying to gain an audience.
Silly Hoomans.
C'mon Bobbo … Gandalf and Obi-Wan are pissed at you. You've got the grey beard and the age under your belt, but they are growing impatient with the "wisdom" thing not blossoming in your case.
Don't make Yoda and Frodo come after you for these blog posts.
Protip: When Yoda died in Return of the Jedi, he disappeared. But before he died, he ate a bowl of stew. So what happened to the stew he ate?
It turned to shit…… just as everything does?
Ha, ha….. Thank You HMyers your tender mercies are recognized.
Fun to recognize the humanity of those whom we contest against. Who does it honor….. except ourselves?
Get it Pedro?/Loser/the Douches of various odiferous oozing ovaries/D himself?
Yes criticism. What does it mean?
………………….and what is love?
I was very gracious with you when you proved my point recently
Ah, only gracious when someone proves "your" point. Otherwise be damned.
Pretty much.
pathetic pedro, admits to all he is psychotically committed to being ignorant (hubris and arrogance that crossed over to his state of delusion)!
poor pathetic pedro is so emotionally immature (obviously full of self-hate), can't admit to himself he is delusional or wrong!
Ever childish and immature pedro, is so delusional, he thinks his advancing diseased brain is uber intelligent!
I posted this once before: I was in the very first row at a Magic Show and one act was a hypnotist. As he put one volunteer under, I heard him whisper "Please go along, I'm trying to earn a living here and the people will love you." I always wondered how people were so easily hypnotized, and like most tricks…. it too was a lie.
It's a result of American pathetic training from formal education, TV and now the internet. It's hard to say which has more influence?
Americans have been trained in unearned self esteem, image and entertainment is king, mimic or feign celebrity, go along to get along, don't challenge authority, don't rock the boat, don't offend and voracious consumerism (buy more than you can afford)!
Basically, most Americans can only hope to be wage slaves and not leaders.
Luckily some countries can see through our American paper thin illogical ruse: Germany, France.
French? Really? Which ones, the ones that at the first sign of trouble run away, the eurotrash ones or the Muslims?
Kids have it tough, mostly because most of the adults trying to teach them overrate their skills.
Which is why the kids thinks adults are morons.
And then the cycle repeats.
Not much different than Og's kids making fun of him for not knowing what an atlatl was.
Or Og not being down with that new-fangled device, the "wheel".
This has been going on since pre-history.
And it'll be "Ok".
There are plenty of morons from our generation, too, John. Just look at the Tea Party and the comments on your own blog. If you're looking for positive examples of the Millennials, I recommend the last half hour of "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Restrepo"
Only a liberul could say that there's anything "intelligent" in ZDT
Remarkable… You managed to prove both points in one short sentence. Thanks!
Like the kids from John's generation weren't fainting and fawning over the Beatles.
Or like they knew math or politics or algebra.
Keep it real.
The people on the video may very well be hired actors, or have the lines fed to them by their writers. Or perhaps the 'wrong' answers were filtered out in favor of the ones showing what the producers wanted to see. In a scientific study that would be considered fraud.
'2 door cinema club' THOSE BABES ROCK they opened for The Wet Sweaters at Summerfest in Milwaukee last year. I cried when they played The Bloody Mattress with the extended theremin solo.
Its all in the editing it would be just as easy to make Canadians, Germans and French look foolish, just throw out the 10 kids who answered who? what? never heard of them and keep the 1 who wanted to look in the know, cool, or whatever spend an hour with this 10 to 1 ratio and you have your 5 or 6 for the bit
its called comedy
good stuff
F*ck me. I sound like a nut case.
Ha, ha.
A little bit of everything in everything else.
BE alive, BE aware, BE honest.
I wish I could BE as happy as he looks:
"F*ck me. I sound like a nut case."
What gave it away!
Should have used that some other time.
I call bullshit. They just tell them a play along, be interesting and you'll be on TV.
Why don't you play along too?
There are videos taken about 5 years after 9/11 in this "Jay Walking" -type interview.
Five years after 9/11, many college students didn't know what year the attacks occurred in .
john is on the pulse. the thing is i'm positive some
of those kids are quite intelligent. it's hilarious, but
when it comes to the urban crowd, being caught up
in the rarest obscurities of the arts (music, film, etc.)
is the norm. and this clip nailed it, if you live in that
world, it's as though you are obligated to know such
things. the genius band names cracked a little smile.
never saw the interviewers face in that clip. could it be that those questions were edited in over some legit questions? nah, everything on tv is real and totally honest. the last thing the mega media conglomerate would ever want to do is to lead astray. just listen to the people laughing during the skit, they are real.
Has to be staged, as another person said we don't see the interviewers face and the sound isn't right, I hear some sort of reverb that doesn't match the outdoor setting.
There are plenty of morons from our generation, too, John. Just look at the Tea Party and the comments on your own blog. If you're looking for positive examples of the Millennials, I recommend the last half hour of "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Restrepo"

I have been able test the iPhone comparability and functionality in my vehicle only briefly. We did so at my dealers following the major repairs to establish phone/media use. I know that phone reception/speech and media playback are now excellent. However; I must confess that I did not check SMS, mail, etc, sorry.
My own fitted cradle is for a 3GS as this is my business phone and the most used of the two. In the event that your radio does not mute when you get an incoming phone call, then this suggests to me that you might well have vehicle interface challenges? The first IA must be to return the vehicle to your dealer!
Good luck.

Dear Diary,
You are my best friend . You know each and every thing about me. You are the only one in this whole world who knows me completely. You know all stuff about me, stuffs that I never shared with anyone is also known to you. You know who truly I am- confused, shy and many more such kind of words are short to describe me. But I am some what optimist also, who has heart which loves family ,friends and ...to him.
Ouch...I am sorry . I am extremely sorry I never told you about him...Yes I had crush on him...Or I still have crush on him...
My dear diary let me tell you about this one and only secret that I never told you.
Its happened 10 yrs back...Yes its long time...and I hided this from you for all this time. I never talk about this to myself also after I completed my schooling. But still there is some part in my heart which still wants...him.
10 years ago I moved to this beautiful place after my dad took transfer from Mumbai. It's small place but have importance in country's map. Its clam and quite place surrounded by forests and beautiful scenery. Weather here is never too hot nor too cold. For me it's the most beautiful place I had ever seen and My dad call this place Mini Shimla.
New place, new school. I got admission in 8th standard in St. Lious School. I joined school in the middle of session, gradually made some friends and started to know my new school.
When results came after my first exam in 8th that was the first time I heard this name MRITYUNJAY SINGH SEKHAWAAT he was topper of 8th std. . I was curious to know more about him but whom to ask about him and in this thought, months passed and I left this question on time.
In my 9th std. our school implied new rules...These rules were to put students in class according to their percentage. First I didn't liked this thought I called it discrimination among students. Its difficult for a shy person to survive in new environment.
I entered my new class with heavy heart. Slowly I moved toward 3rd bench .Then entered a girl and she came and sat beside me. She was Meethi .She is lovely girl, she makes friends very fast and so we became friend. I told her that I don't know any body in class can you please help me in knowing names of our classmates.
She started introducing me our new classmates .She knows all of them as she is born and brought up here and is studying in this school from 1st std.
Meethi :"See that's Aditya, Yug , Vasu and that is Mrityunjay and that ..."
She continued introducing other classmates but I stopped hearing her after listening his name "Mrityunjay".
What I am in his class...I never know what made say this. But I was happy don't know why.
Mrityunjay was topper of our batch. He was son of rich business man. He was intelligent, smart, good at communication skills and also good in music . I just saw him and continued my talk with Meethi. I don't gave second thought about him. And my chatting continued with Meethi for the whole first day of school.
From next day It was regular school for me- come to school study and go to home. But to this regular school something got added to my habit... and it was adoring Mrityunjay...Yes It became habit for me to adore him. It was easy for me to adore him without getting caught by anyone as I was on 3rd bench in last row and he was on 1st bench middle row. So while classes going on and watching teacher teaching I use to adore him.
For the first time I talked him indirectly in music class that day I noticed his smile. It was a killer smile. That smile had some magic which I don't know what but I felt that something in me got hit...Do I started to feel something ...After returning home I convinced myself there is nothing and I am hit by nothing...be clam...forget what you saw in music class...be normal.
Next day when I went to school I again noticed his smile...it again hit me...it was deeper hit then yesterday...
Then it was irresistible for me to stop thinking about his smile...the killer smile...
And this killer smile continued its stabbing and I everyday got stabbed. He was regular student but if for single day he was absent I felt like what is wrong with this world ... why this is happening to me...today is bad day...
One day a thought strike my mind.
"Why you adore him so much??" "Why you can't bear a single day without seeing him??" "What is special in his smile???
I was mum to all these questions.
And then told to myself "yes, why I adore him... " "he never noticed me class that their exists a person named Tara Mehta." Then second thought following this thought emerged saying "why he would know you..."
"Are you ranker?? Are you best singer???""Are you in his friend circle???"
Answers to all these questions was a "Big NO."
To get noticed by him in class I made plans...yes made plans.
So my first plan was to come in list of top 20 rankers of my class.
Second was to improve myself in music class
And many more plans were made but these two were followed religiously.
Music class improvement led us our first talk in front of whole class, this time directly .We talked about Tal Keharwa. Whatever that talk was I was happy that he talked to me.
After that talk we use to talk in class at least once in a week for 5 minutes and that was enough for me. 9th std. class continued and exams came and went. It was result day and as usual like every year he was first . I secured 11th rank in my class I was happy because for the first time I am under 15 rank which was like a dream for me.
Like 9th std following year also school continued its discrimination policy and started its discrimination- division of students based on their ranks- starting with first 30 rankers in one class and less then that in other class. I was again in worried with this discrimination. But this time I was worried because I might be separated from Mrityunjay as their were 180 students in our batch and had secured 11th position in my class but know how my others students have got marks higher then me. I was praying to god ..."Plz ...plz don't separate me from ...".
I was lost in my thoughts when I felt some one pinched me...Ouch... This was Meethi she pinched me and told "Where you are lost ...Congrates we are once again in same class". I marched to my class with heavy heart. But I entered class I was welcomed "Congrates Tara. Welcome to class". This voice was familiar to me. I raised my head and found Mrityunjay is welcoming me...I was super happy...I told to myself "That means I was able to secure position in top 30 and landed in same class with Mrityunjay...and addition to this is that I caught his attention too otherwise why would have welcomed me". "No separation...yipeee" I exclaimed in my mind.
Now we talk regularly making my each day more brighter than previous day. He use to say "Hi" "Hello " everyday...and I use to feel more special each day.
It was 10th std. so I joined maths tuition with Meethi. When I reached their on first day I found Mrityunjay their . I was shocked to see him their.The reason for my shock was his looks .
He was wearing a red T-Shirt and was on his Bike Hunk that was also RED...
OMG...My heart was beating so fast and loud that I felt If I continue to watch him today my heart would definitely burst. So I turned my face from their, but look I don't have control on me... my body changed its direction again and turned to watch him...he was looking so hot in that red T-shirt...
Now I was able to adore Mrityunjay for longer hours in school and in tuition...making my day more brighter. tuition was now my favourite place I was able to watch him on his bike with his killer smile. I continued my hard work in studies to secure good marks as good marks lead his attention on me. Now he helped me in class solving Maths problem. He solve that Maths problem in my notebook and I use touch that solutions when I am home and wanted to feel him in his writing .
One day Meethi pointed Radha in our class saying she is Mrityunjay's girlfriend.
I was shell shocked to hear this ...I told to Meethi "Dear why are you joking with me... Mrityunjay don't have girlfriend"
Meethi: "How you know that?"
"Do he told you that I don't have girlfriend"..."wait...wait wait... what do you like him?"
I nodded my head in NO.
I never told Meethi about my secret admiring on Mrityunjay.
I was feeling broken. Thousands of thoughts were bombarding my mind
"How he can do this to me?"
"Do I am not good in studies?"
"Or do I have bad looks?"
"Why I misunderstood his talk?"
"He never told me about his feelings"
"He use to talk to me in same way that he talk to others why I misunderstood him"
"Do I really misunderstood him??"
" Its my heart...My feelings... they have right to like anyone in this world. They don't need permission to like anyone."
My thoughts chain broke when my sister played song
"Khataa to jab ho ke ham haal-e-dil kisi se kahe
Kisi ko chaahate rahanaa koi khataa to nahi
Kisi ko chaahate rahanaa koi khataa to nahi
Amir tu hai
Amir tu hai to itana zara bata de muje
Garib mai hun magar ye meri khataa ho nahi
Kisi ko chaahate rahanaa koi khataa to nahi
Tujhe bhi pyaar hai
Tujhe bhi pyaar hai mujhase mai jaanati hun sanam
Ye baat aur hai mujhase kabhi kahaa to nahi
Kisi ko chaahate rahanaa koi khataa to nahi"
Oh...this song is specially composed for me. This song helped me to cop this harsh truth of life.
I continued my talk with Mriyunjay in the same manner like before but kept a reminder in my mind don't let your heart in. final exams over and results were out once again he was first . I secured good marks. For my good marks some credit goes to him as to get his attention I worked so hard that I secured marks.
I left that school after 10th. He continued in same school. Meethi informed me that he choose engineering as his future profession.
I don't know in today's date where he is...what he is doing ...who his partner is...
I saw him earlier this year in market. He still look dashing...handsome...and that killer smile...it still have power to kill. I saw him just for 1 second but felt like everything stopped for that 1 second. He was on the other side of road on his bike, he didn't noticed me but I saw him...he was ...
Oh...no...its 2:00 am close your diary Tara...Otherwise mom will come and scold you for being up so late.

Raising Poochie Right
Okay, psychiatrists know about mental illness, but we are called on to comment all different types of issues regarding relationships, development, what transactions are likely to lead to mental health or mental distress. I'm expanding our area of so-called expertise even further, and feel inspired to comment on an article in today's New York Times, "Should Your Dog Be Watching TV?"
Regarding new TV programming made especially for dogs, Douglas Quenqua writes:
If your dog does show interest, it probably can learn from what it sees on a television, Ms. Anderson said. Exposing a pet to muted versions of everyday irritants like vacuum cleaners and doorbells, for example, is a time-tested method for reducing the animal's fear of them. But an important aspect of the technique is amping up the volume as the dog grows comfortable — so, depending on how quickly a dog learns, the owner may want to hover nearby to turn up the DogTV volume.
But — of course — dog owners shouldn't mistake TV time for quality time, animal behaviorists cautioned. "It definitely isn't a substitute for play time with your dog," Ms. Anderson said. "Exercise can solve a lot of behavioral problems.
Oh my, programming includes grassy fields, bouncy balls, quiet vacuum cleaners, scenes to comfort, entertain and teach dogs, and to address anxiety, agitation, and decrease separation anxiety. It just makes me think that raising children is hard enough and you have to worry about what you expose your children to, how much time they spend in front of screens, whether you're using your TV as a babysitter, how you're going to schedule piano lessons so they don't conflict with tennis team, homework, and religious school. The nice thing about having a dog is that it just gets to be a dog. You walk the dog, pet the dog, feed the dog, be with the dog. Until now, you didn't have to worry about all the influences on the dog: how much TV is the right amount of TV? Is it okay to go for a walk in the woods or will Rover miss an important learning segment on TV? What if the dog finds some segments soothing (is he just transfixed? Is this healthy?) but finds other segments over-stimulating? Look, yet more things to worry about, as if life wasn't complicated enough.
I may have to trade in the dog for a gerbil and hope they don't invent Rodent TV.

Not a dumb question. I too would like to know.
This is a discussion on I have a dumb question. within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I have a colt Defender, and a Commander, can i shoot +P ammo in them? both of them are .45 my commander is stainless. thanks ...
I have a colt Defender, and a Commander, can i shoot +P ammo in them? both of them are .45 my commander is stainless. thanks for the input. also i am new the the world of the 1911's...
Not a dumb question. I too would like to know.

"Not only do the people who put their lives on the line to protect the rest of us deserve better, we all deserve better than to have our own security undermined by those who undermine law enforcement." -Thomas Sowell
I believe you might better served by calling the manufacturer of your 1911 and or looking at the manual to see if there is any disclosure on the use of +P ammunition.
I shoot an awful lot of H&K USP's and their manual specifically states that their pistols are rated for +P and +P+ ammunition.
I have fired 185 grain +P ammunition out of my Kimber and my Wilson and my Night Hawk Custom with no problems to speak of but I wouldn't want a steady diet of +P ammunition in those particular pistols. The external extractor broke on my Kimber during a mag of +P 185 grains but I'm not certain that those hot loads where the cause of an extractor breaking or not. Your recoil is much sharper and much more quick with +P ammunition thus giving you a much faster front sight to trigger press timing than standard pressure ammunition and 230 grain loads.
I'd just call the service desk and try to find someone in the shop that can give you a yes or no answer.
U.S. Army retired
Actually I can answer that.
+P .45 acp ammo can only ever BE so "plus."
Due to the brass cartridge cases and the case wall thickness you'll reach a point where the cartridge case walls will rupture on extraction so you can never have workable brass +P++++ type .45 ammo in a .45acp case.
That being said your Colt Defender and your Colt Commander will easily handle as much +P ammo as you can afford to buy.
As far as the actual STRENGTH of the Colt pistol is concerned I remember a test where Steel Cased .45 acp was loaded to near .44 magnum power and that was fired in a Colt with absolutely no damage to the pistol. Extraction was a problem though.
SO in short - shoot as much +P as you want to in both of your Colts but, just install fresh recoil springs more often than you normally would.
If I still have not convinced you then move up to a slightly stronger recoil spring.
Figure that your Colts are at least TWICE as strong as they NEED to be to handle a healthy diet of +P.
My one Combat Commander has thousands of rounds of +P through it and it is still as functionally perfect as the day I bought it.
My alloy frame did a couple thousand +P and it displayed no battering or problems at all.
I eventually traded it but, not because there was anything wrong with it but, only because I like the perfect balance of the all steel Combat Commander better.
You do not need to "baby" your Colt pistols.
They were designed and built tough.

Concerning Colt frame and slide can handle the .45 SUPER conversion.
Click here to get info on the .45 SUPER
Just an off topic FYI on my part.
We are sometimes asked here at Ace Custom 45's Inc.: What is a "45Super"® or in some cases why there is a "45Super"®? While the concept has been written up many times in the past, perhaps it will be helpful to those who are just becoming familiar with the "45Super"® concept or to those who have had some exposure to the "45Super"® concept, to provide some background on the "45Super"® , from its original conception dating back to 1988, to its current status in 2000.
In 1988, the beginning idea for a "45Super"® originated in Dean Grennells fertile imagination. Dean, longtime managing editor of Gun World Magazine, envisioned the concept of updating and strengthening of the popular Colt M1911A1G model auto through new gunsmithing techniques and the utilization of modern cartridge cases to improve the 45 ACP!
To do this Grennells went straight to the problem, pinpointing the weakest part of the M1911 system - the cartridge case itself! The standard 45 ACP leaves a significant portion of the case hanging unsupported over the angled feed ramp of the barrel, thereby limiting pressures and velocities to low levels. The unsupported section is forward of the case head and the brass there is thin, this poses no particular problem since the standard 45 ACP is loaded to levels not much greater than black powder loads, and standard brass is amply strong to handle this! However this scenario does present a serious barrier to increased ballistic performance! (There are some who would argue: that there is no need for increased ballistic performance for the 45 ACP, for those who are of that mindset we leave them there!)
To address the case weakness of the standard .45 ACP Grennell used a modified .451 Detonics magnum case. This case was longer than the 45 ACP, with thicker walls and a heavier web area to withstand higher pressures. These cases trimmed to proper 45 ACP length and then inside neck reamed to accept 45 ACP bullets, provided the basis for the "45Super"®!
As a matter of note it was never intentional by Grennell nor is it ours, to wring the last foot-second from a 45 ACP pistol, but to provide a performance boost for 45 auto fans without resorting to extensive and expensive modifications! Grennell did this with the shortened .451 Detonics magnum case utilizing principally a standard .45 auto government model with a 22 lb. recoil spring. While he was satisfied with the cartridge concept, the pistol clearly needed some work to refine the concept completely.
Dean turned the project over to Tom Ferguson, fellow "Gun World" staffer, who brought a sackful of .451 Detonics brass and a Colt .45 Auto to Ace Custom 45's Inc. This lead to a series of upgrading modifications to the Colt .45 Auto that eventually lead to a properly functioning "45Super"® pistol. The original loads were chrongraphed using both 185 and 230 grain bullets and the velocities returned were impressive indeed. (Detonics' magnum cases)
185 Gr @ up to 1400 FPS
230 Gr @ up to 1200 FPS
At this point Bruce Hodgon of Hodgon Powder Company Incorporated was contacted and agreed to run pressure tests for the "45Super"® and thanks to his gracious efforts, pressure tests revealed that the Colt Mod 1911A1 was well within the strength compatibility required by the "45Super"® pressures. Maximum working pressures for the .38 Super (for example) is 35,700 CUP; most of the loads ("45Super"® ) tested by Hodgon were slightly below this level! (By contrast our top "45Super"® loads today, generate about 28,000 CUP! 185 Gr @ 1300 FPS 230 Gr @ 1100 FPS.)
It had been done: the "45Super"® was now a reality! Ace Custom 45's added to its line of services "45Super"® conversions on customer supplied weapons!
Eventually the supply of .451 Detonic's Magnum cases dried up and except for laboriously modifying .308 Winchester rifle brass there was no cartridge case suitable for the "45Super"® concept.
This changed in 1994 when factory produced "45Super"® ammunition became available and Ace Custom45s obtained a "Federally Registered Trademark" of the name "45Super"®. The factory "45Super"® ammunition was based on "new cases" made by Starline Brass to meet the parameters required for "45Super"® pressures and velocities; with the cases being headstamped "45Super"®, and finally Springfield, Inc. introduction of a factory produced "45Super"® PISTOL, their V-16 LONGSLIDE "45Super"® pistol.
Currently Ace Custom .45's Inc. offers 10 different complete "45Super"® pistols, based on Springfield Armory, Para-ordnance, Kimber, and Glock Model 21 units and of course we continue to offer "45Super"® conversions on customer supplied weapons, as well as "Gunsmith fit" "45Super"® conversion kits, for Govt. Mod 1911 style pistols and 4506 series Smith & Wesson pistols, and the Glock M-21.
As for the future; Ace Custom .45's Inc. is currently evaluating other candidates for the "45Super"® concept, and will be adding new additions to our current line of complete "45Super"® pistols in the future.

Only thing I have noticed in my 3" Springfield is that +P does not seem to cycle well. I think it may be too much slide velocity. The factory manual says much the same. I can't speak for you Colt though as I don't have one! I do have a Lightweight Commander that handles +P just fine although I wouldn't want to give it a steady diet of it. I do carry it with +P ammo though for defense.
If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. ~ Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
Nice reply there. I'm filing that away for info for a few shooting buddies that use Colt 1911's.

White Center Spring Clean 2013 looking for volunteers and project ideas
Interested in helping the White Center Community Development Association mobilize a major cleanup effort? The format has changed this year, spreading the good work out from April to August. Participants, as always, can get their hands on a coveted "I (Heart) White Center" t-shirt.
Here are the details from Marquise Roberson-Bester, community builder for CDA:
White Center Community Members,
I hope this message finds you in great health and spirits. As the seasons change and we get ready for nicer weather it's time to think about making our community look equally nice.
This year I will be leading the White Center Spring Clean effort in White Center. After looking at the surveys from last year, we wanted to see how we can improve on our annual Spring Clean event that typically brings out a collective group of over 500 residents, neighbors and community partners!
Spring Clean 2013 Format
This year we are going to change the format for SpringClean. Instead of a one day event with over 20+ projects, we will move to having multiple projects over a series of months during the calendar year.
Projects will be held on a Friday or Saturday once a month during the next 5 months (April-August). The final month ofSpring Clean projects will include a celebration of all the projects that have been completed during the year!
The idea of changing the format is because by doing projects over a span of months, we will be able to sustain the beauty of our community. This also allows for us to do some different projects that did not fit our one day time-frame. With the new format, we wanted to broaden the opportunities for community to be a part of the beautification White Center!
Call for Project Proposals & Volunteers
If you were a project lead last year or have an idea for aSpring Clean project please submit a proposal form. You can find the form on the WCCDA webpage. This year you have 5 months to chose from: April, May, June, July and August. (Projects can be done more than once if there is a need). Some example of projects from last year are: Lakewood Parkclean-up, repainting murals, graffiti cover-up, windowcleaning in the business district, etc.
For Volunteers, you now have a variety of opportunities to come out and make White Center a great place! We will continue the great tradition of providing the famous I heart White Center T-shirts (free) to volunteers, a light breakfast (the day of the event) and recognition at our celebration in September. At the celebration we will have food, fun, giveaways and entertainment! To find more information on VOLUNTEERING please check out our webpage.
2013 Spring Clean is going to be an awesome event and we want you to be a part of the greatness!! To recap these are the ways that you can be involved:
• Project Creator/Lead- Come up with a great project to help clean and beautify White Center, fill out a proposal form and we will help you get it done.
• Volunteer- Pick a day that works for your schedule, sign-up for that day, get others from your groups, neighborhood, job, etc to come and help out. Spread the word!!
• Sponsor- If you can volunteer or come up with a project you can always donate to the cause. We could use supplies, advertising and money to make this a success.
To do any of these things, please visit the WCCDA webpage for further instructions. If you have any question or concerns you can also contact me at email@example.com or call 206.694.1082.
More information on Spring Clean 2013 from the WCCDA:
The White Center Community Development Association (CDA) will be hosting the 10th Annual White Center Spring Clean beginning Saturday, April 13, 2013 from 9am to noon. The Spring Clean will be different than in years past in that it will consist of multiple projects spread out over the upcoming spring and summer months.
Projects will be held on a Friday or Saturday once a month concluding with a celebration of all the projects that will have been completed this year. In addition to April 13 the upcoming Spring Clean dates and times are:
• Friday, May 24 8am-1pm
• Saturday, June 22 9am-noon
• Saturday, July 20 9am-noon
• Saturday, August 10 9am-noon
The idea of changing the format from a one day event came as a result of community feedback with a desired goal of furthering the impact of the beautification that takes place during the clean up.
"We are really excited to see how much of an impact we can make as a community through suggested project ideas, volunteering and donations over the next couple of months," says White Center CDA Community Builder Marquise Roberson. "This community means so much to everyone, so it will be great to see us sustain its beauty through a community effort."
Projects that will be taking place throughout the upcoming 5 months include redoing murals, window washing in White Center's business district, graffiti removal, gardening, and trash pick-up. Furthermore each month will have specific projects that will allow volunteers to impact their community in different ways. On April 13 one of the Spring Clean projects will be helping Greenbridge residents with spring cleaning and clothes recycling. A local electronics recycling company will also be on hand to pick up old or unwanted electronics. Also, on April 13 volunteers will come together to cover up graffiti in the community.
Volunteers will be given free 'I Heart White Center' t-shirts, a light breakfast the day of the event, and will receive recognition at a community celebration on September 6th, 2013. This celebration will include food, giveaways, and entertainment for volunteers and community members alike.
The White Center CDA is a bold, innovative, community-led, sustainable and results-driven organization committed to eliminating racism and creating positive economic and social change. Its mission is to develop authentic leadership, leverage resources and build economic and social equity to create a strong, connected and vibrant community. This is achieved by: Promoting strong community leadership through engagement and relationship building; Building capacity to work together across communities, cultures and systems; Leveraging resources to strengthen families, develop neighborhoods and support a healthy community; Organizing and advocating for community-driven policy and social change.
Volunteers are needed; those interested in volunteering or learning more about the White Center Spring please visit http://www.wccda.org/home/wccda/2408

Anyone who has spent time leafing through the pages of aftermarket audio magazines knows that upgrading your stock car stereo and speakers with a premium sound system is an expensive business. What if there was a way to use your existing in-car audio infrastructure to make music sound better? That is exactly what Bongiovi acoustics is aiming to do in its partnership with JVC on the KD-S100, a single-DIN stereo based on JVC's KD-SH1000. The KD-S100 looks and installs like any other standard aftermarket rig: Its wealth of audio support--standard USB and SD card playback, optional iPod connector, and satellite radio tuner--may be impressive, but the headline feature of the system is its built-in digital signal processor, designed by Bongiovi Acoustics (if the name sounds familiar, that's because the founder is the second cousin of the Jon Bon Jovi). Using a chip called the Digital Power Station, the KD-S100 scans and extends the frequency response and audio spectrum of various kinds of audio recordings.
The KD-S100 is not available as an off-the-shelf model. It can only be purchased through dealers--usually only on new cars. Bongiovi representatives say this is because each vehicle needs to be tuned individually. They map the output of the head unit to the specific factory speakers and cabin acoustic--or "profile"--of each car. The output is then tailored to the limits and design specifications of each car's speakers to maximize output. The other reason for the dealer-only distribution of the system has to do with the business model of rolling the product in with the purchase of a new car. Dealers are encouraged to sell the KD-S100 as a vehicles-specific system and to incorporate its price into customers' monthly car payments.
Design and Features
The KD-S100 is a sharp-looking head unit with a stylish black lacquer and matte silver faceplate, accented by fluorescent blue back lighting for button trim. Aside from its main volume control knob, the stereo features ten small hard buttons for browsing and selecting music and for adjusting settings. We prefer our buttons to be slightly bigger and more clearly labeled than those on the KD-S100, but we like the simplicity and economy of the design, which makes it easy to skip songs on the fly.
The system's monochrome LCD display is likewise simple and unshowy. The white-on-black characters show up well, even in bright daylight. When playing music from MP3 discs, USB drives, and iPods, the display can be configured to show an impressive number of combinations of artist, album, and song title, as well as folder and file information. Unlike many single-DIN systems, the KD-S100 is able to display a decent number of characters on its display, enabling drivers to see song titles at a glance. The source button on the top left of the faceplate provides a straightforward means of switching between different audio inputs, which also include line-in (via a rear-mounted 1/8-inch jack), satellite radio, and AM/FM radio.
Our review model came with JVC's KS-PD100 iPod adapter module, which retails for around $50. Somewhat counterintuitively, the faceplate's Menu button has nothing to do with getting to the menu of a connected iPod. Instead, drivers have to push the Up arrow to the right of the volume dial to get to the categories in the root iPod menu (playlists, artists, albums, songs, composers), which are then scrolled through using the skip forward button. To make a selection, you have to press the down arrow below, taking you to the next submenu, which itself must be navigated with a combination of the skip button and the down arrow. This is by no means the most intuitive iPod selection interface we have seen on a single-DIN head unit from JVC--the KD-PDR30, for example, is far more easy to use. Playback of audio from SD cards is also less-than-intuitive, as users have to turn the stereo off and detach the faceplate to get the to the card slot. However, the built-in support for SD cards is definitely a positive point, and large-capacity cards will need to be changed less often, making accessibility less of an issue.
For our audio test of the KD-S100, we installed it in a car with perhaps the most basic audio system on the market: the four-speaker system in the 2007 Chevy Aveo. We had previously told Bongiovi Acoustics what our test car was, and they had loaded the specific profile for our car onto our KD-S100 review unit. This is done through the assistance of a CD, which contains information on the speaker specifications and cabin acoustics of a particular car model taken from Bongiovi's software-tuning database. To get the vehicle-specific profiles, Bongiovi plays pink noise into the vehicle cabin via the car's audio system. It then uses microphones to pick up the output and performs a "1/3-octave analysis" on each speaker, speaker enclosure, and on each of the car's listening positions. The signal is then further tweaked using frequency gain amplification and passive equalization.
It all sounds very technical, but how does it sound? To help with our test, Bongiovi had sent us a number of its own audio test discs, similar to the ones we saw at our first demonstration of the KD-S100 at CES 2008. To these sample we added a few of our discs including Buena Vista Social Club, The Long Road Out of Eden by the Eagles, an MP3 packed with an eclectic mix of bass-heavy surf tunes, and an iPod loaded up with a series of French-language podcasts. Armed with this varied assortment of formats and genres, we set about our test.

It's been a couple of years since I worked with Jason. We started out with SEO almost at the same time. He was looking for his way in the world at that time. I was looking for opportunities in business. Here's the inside story of how Jason and I got to meet and work and his thoughts on SEO in the Philippines.
A Peek in the Mind of an SEO specialist: Brent Rangen
There are a lot of SEO specialists out there. And rarely would you encounter one with good repute and who knows his stuff. All others are no-good oil snakes. I've encountered Brent as we exchanged tweets in twitter when he stumbled upon one of my entries. He's an interesting fellow who's worked in the SEO industry for a much longer time than I have so I thought I'd do an interview with him for you guys.

SFSC MOFAC Presents... Aquiferious: Margaret Ross Tolbert
December 10, 2014 – January 23, 2015
Margaret Ross Tolbert considers her art to be a kind of "Expressive Realism" and believes her message has been received "when my paintings inspire a connection rather than a recognition."
Tolbert describes her paintings as "painterly and ostensibly abstract, but simultaneously reflecting a reality of the place." In the case of her Florida springs paintings, Tolbert understands how some might not recognize them at first. "I used to look at things as 'a scene' until I learned to really enter a place and try to discern all of its energy."
Museum Hours: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday: 12:30 – 4:30 p.m.
The museum is also open one hour before each Artist and Matinee Series performance and by appointment for group tours. Call for additional information:(863)784-7240. The museum is closed June through August.

formatted data
Sorry if this is an often-asked question, but I was wondering if there was
a way (a package?) to read in a formatted data file (using like a "formatted
read" statement from Fortran).
For example, if a line of the data looks like
47950 4 9450
I would like to read the data into a list looking like
{47.950, 4., 9.450}
I looked through MathSource and didn't find anything, but perhaps I
overlooked something.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
In addition to my zine Triumph I'm wanting to put together a comic but I'm not too confident in doing so having not done one before. Having been inspired and encouraged by a couple of very creative artists last year, I'm going to set myself a challenge for 2011 and put together a comic about a group of evil do-gooders. The only trouble is though, like any New Year's resolutions they get harder to keep as the year progresses so I'm setting up a League of Evilness newsletter which I will…Continue

We've chosen ten actors who went on to become important filmmakers. (Some ostensibly obvious choices, such as Woody Allen and Mel Brooks, are absent because they really got their starts as writers, not actors.)
1. Charles Laughton
Laughton only directed one film, but what a film it is. Night of the Hunter, a hallucinatory, noirish adaptation of David Grubb's novel, has the air of a fairytale and the expressionistic aesthetics of a German silent film. Set in West Virginia, the film depicts a serial killer posing as a preacher, played with dizzying charisma by the inimitable Robert Mitchum. Mitchum's preacher seduces a young widow, whose recently departed husband, Mitchum learns, has hidden stolen money somewhere at his home. The film lulls you into a gaze with Mitchum's dolorous sense of restraint, his charm, and his tranquil niceties, and slowly slips deeper into a strange, nightmarish realm where shadows jete across walls with menace and only two colors exist: black and white.

The portable touchscreen interface communicates with the patient regarding their symptoms, in their language of choice, while it also downloads the patient's medical history. During this virtual interview, the handles will monitor the patient's vitals. After doing so, it translates the and collates the symptoms, vitals and history, so the doctor can give the most accurate care possible.
John Horn, national director of M2M at T-Mobile explains that "the quality of healthcare can improve for all individuals regardless of language or culture." Phrazer would be an essential tool for hospital admissions where the doctor might know the patient's language functionally, but not well enough to diagnose them.
With the flexibility of T-Mobile's wireless network, first responders and emergency medical services can also make use of Phrazer in the field, where accurate and timely communication might mean the difference between life and death.

Hi everyone,
I could use some help regarding handgun laws in some south eastern state parks. I am looking to go camping in Tennessee, Georgia, or South Carolina. I have a Tennessee Handgun permit and Georgia and South Carolina have reciprocity agreements with Tennessee. I was using the http://www.handgunlaw.us/ website as my primary source of information; however I am confused concerning the difference between the State/National Forest category and the State Parks category. The handgunlaw.us website claims that firearms can be carried in state parks but not state forests. The information on the State of Tennessee website seems to suggest otherwise (http://www.state.tn.us/environment/p...shtml#firearms ). I feel like I practically have to have a doctorate in jurisprudence in order to carry and not end up breaking a law along the way. Anyways, to finally get to my point, I was under the impression I could carry in South Carolina public parks; however I was also under the impression I could carry in Tennessee based on the handgunlaw.us website which seemed to be proven wrong. I do realize it is difficult to prove that I can carry somewhere because a website is unlikely to say Firearms are permitted. So, where the hell can I carry? It seems I can't trust my source and is hard to find proof that I can do something. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey guys , I think I have gotta end this ff asap , so that's y I am back with an other episode
Note : no Switzerland trip ,shraman at their best 😊
I know this isn't going well but please do cooperate….
so let's start with this epi
Shravan tells sumo to dress up in that grand attire but sumo is way too tired and weak , she looks exhausted, Shravan sits beside her , holds her by the shoulder and comforts her ..
Shravan: you look very weak , it will be better if you stay in your bed , I will inform preekar , they will cancel the reception, ok ?
Suman: no Shravan , they have done this with so much love ❤, it will hurt them if we cancel this …..
Shravan : as you say 😁
Shravan handles the dress to sumo and sumo lifts it once or twice and says " it's very heavy " " it's difficult for me to wear this"
Shravan feels shattered as he wouldn't be able to take a look at her in that spectacular dress ……
A small frown appears on his face, he tries to smile and just walks away ……
sumo is confused by Shravan's reactions , she slowly gets up and tries to walk , and you know what's gonna happen next ..😌
This happens in a fraction of second , sumo slips and Shravan comes in the nick of time , he holds her by the waist and then makes her sit on the couch and gets up to walk away but this time he could feel her hands on his waist, she hugged him from behind, he turned towards her tucked her hair and caressed her face and she said
Sumo : why don't you spit the truth out ?
Shravan : what truth are you talking about sumo ??
Suman : I know that you were badly hurt when I said that I can't wear it 😊
Shravan : no sumo , if it is difficult for you then don't wear it , ok ?
Sumo : I can read your mind Shravan, you wanted to see me in that special dress right?
Shravan: yeah
Suman : then ok , I am wearing it 😁
Shravan : no don't , u look very tired and you won't be able to handle this one …
Suman : want me to turn energetic?
Shravan : yes 😁
Suman wraps her arms around his neck and stands on her toes , he holds her by his waist , she indicates him to kiss her … he gives a confused look …
Suman whispers : kiss me
Ok he says ….
( please imagine the next part by yourself ….. 😂😂)
You know how they shared the kiss , so let's come to the point ☝
Shravan and Suman share a deep , passionate kiss, little did they care about the world around them , that was bliss😌😌
These kind of small things make your life more better 😁
They were involved deeply in the moment and sumo pulled back and asked okay , now I am energetic enough ,I will go change the dress..🙂
Shravan held her by the waist and pulled her towards him so that her back was resting on her chest 😍 , don't leave so soon he whispered and pecked her forehead …
knock knock , sumo got herself free from his hold and rushed towards the door …
Preeti stood there all ready for the reception , she was in awe to see sumo still not ready …
U did not get ready Suman , sumo says yeah I'll be there soon and shuts the door 🚪..
she feels weak but walks towards the bed to pick her dress up , but Shravan stops her …
I'll dress you up ? He asked with a mischievous face !
She just gave him a hard whack on his hand and said I will do it myself
Ok I'll be back 😘 said Shravan
Suman gets ready in her attire she just sits on the bed with a heavy sigh 😔
She picks up some tablets from the cupboard and puts them into her mouth.. she searches for the water jug and meanwhile Shravan opens the door , enters in , closes the door 🚪..
He gives her water and she smiles at him , and then looks at him head to toe , "handsome " she says ..
Thank you , you look gorgeous 😘 he says
she smiles at him and gets up to walk but due to the weakness she falls back on the bed , Shravan quickly lifts her up in his arms and she wraps her arms around his neck and they share a deep eye lock😍
"Aise lagta hai kyun Teri aankhein jaise aankhon me meri rehgayi "
They reach the garden and are still lost in one another and suddenly they experience a shower of roses and some applauses and click click sound from mobile phones and cameras 🎥
This diverts their attention and quickly shraman look around and find preekar helping out a huge number of guests 😊
Shravan makes sumo sit on a gigantic chair placed at the top of the stage , there are two such chairs , the decorations were looking simply breathtaking and shraman were busy taking glances at each other , later they greeted the guests, had a grand reception and thanked preekar for the support and there shraman were hitched again 😘❤❤
So here ends the epi 🙂
Precap : shraman receive gifts from dear ones , Ramnath gifts a surprise gift !!
Eager to know what is the surprise gift ?? than keep reading this ff …..😘😁
Thank you
Yb signing off

In the spring of 1946, ex-corporal Sam Richardson returns home from the "forgotten war" in Burma to his hometown of Wigton in Cumbria, England, to the joyful relief of his young wife, Ellen. He finds a town in which, seemingly, little has changed: the same twisting alleys, weavers' cottages, and medieval archways; and the same lack of prospects for an uneducated, working-class man like himself. Sam, however, has changed. The war has not only left him with traumatic memories, which he tries to suppress, but also given him greater self-confidence and broadened his horizons. From her wartime jobs, Ellen, too, has gained a sense of independence she does not want to give up. And then there's six-year-old Joe, a baby when Sam volunteered, who can scarcely remember his father. As all three strive to adjust, the bonds of love and loyalty become stretched to the breaking point.-Dust jacket.

Download the Hover Board Safety Tip Sheet here.
This 4th of July, the Lakeland Fire Department encourages you to stay safe. Each July Fourth, thousands of people, most often children and teens, are injured while using consumer fireworks. Despite the dangers of fireworks, few people understand the associated risks - devastating burns, other injuries, fires, and even death.

The LFD's 7th Annual Open House event that took place Saturday, October 12 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM was a huge success. Approximately 3,000 people showed up making it the largest event put on by the department yet!
Citizen's came out to learn more about fire safety, to better understand the many different services the department offers the community, and to see the equipment used to keep the citizens of Lakeland safe up close.
Demonstrations we offered every half hour, kitchen fire safety tips were provided, and guests were invited to tour the station and enjoy free goodies and refreshments.
The event is growing every year and plans are already under way to make next year's event even bigger and better. Mark your calendars because everyone is encouraged to come out and join the department again for its 8th annual Open House event, planned for October 11, 2014.

Beneath The Dover Sky
Full Product Description
The second book in the series (following Ashton Park) transports the reader back in time to 1924 as Sir Williamrecently named Lord Prestoncelebrates his sixtieth birthday at the Danforth summer home in Dover.
Although the ravages of World War I are in the past, new threats loom as a man named Adoph Hitler publishes a book called Mein Kampf. Is he a danger to Europe? And what of Lord Prestons growing friendship with an up and coming political leader named Winston Churchill?
On the home front, one of the Danforth daughters, the recently widowed Catherine, sells her home in Belfast to spend more time at Doverwhere she finds herself annoyed at the impertinent German theologian her father has befriended.
