Presonus StudioLive AR8 USB Product Description
Built by musicians, for musicians.
StudioLive® AR8 USB 8-channel hybrid mixers make it simple to mix and record live shows, studio productions, band rehearsals, podcasts, and much more. This is a musician's mixer: lightweight, versatile, feature-rich, and packed with analog connections and digital tools, yet easy to learn and use. Mix with PreSonus'® famous Class A preamps and three-band EQ. Create multitrack recordings and fly in backing tracks with a 24-bit, 96 kHz, USB 2.0 digital audio interface. Record and playback in stereo with the integrated SD™ digital recorder. Stream program music wirelessly, using onboard Bluetooth®. Compact and road-ready, StudioLive AR mixers provide a superior all-in-one solution for mixing and recording your performances.
All of the connections and controls you need.
StudioLive AR8 USB mixers are packed with the connections and controls needed to mix and record live, in the studio, and in rehearsal. Each of the two mono channels and two stereo channels includes level control; a mic input with one of PreSonus' prized Class A preamps; three-band EQ; and more. Besides the main outputs, you get a monitor mix output with a dedicate bus for feeding a stage wedge, headphone amp, or in-ear system. Since the StudioLive AR8 USB is also a studio mixer, you also get control-room outputs with level control to feed your studio monitors.
Plug guitars and basses directly into the mixer.
Most mixers make you route acoustic and electric guitars and basses through external direct boxes before connecting to a mixer input. But with StudioLive AR mixers, Channels 1 and 2 have high-impedance instrument inputs, so you can plug a guitar or electric bass straight into the board—no direct box needed.
It's inputs; it's playback; it's the Super Channel!
Our unique Super Channel (stereo Channel 7/8) allows you to connect four stereo analog and digital sources at once, enabling you to use the mixer with your high-tech devices. Plug a media player into the Super Channel's unbalanced RCA and 1/8-inch stereo inputs, play stereo audio from the onboard SD™ recorder or from your USB-connected Mac® or Windows® PC. Use onboard Bluetooth 4.1 to pair your phone to your StudioLive AR mixer and instantly have wireless access to your music library for break music, backing tracks, or ear-training. Have a song you want the rest of the band to learn? Pair your phone and start rehearsing!
Record in the studio or at the gig—with or without a computer.
Naturally, you want to record your gigs, as well as producing studio projects, podcasts, and so on. It's smart to record your rehearsals, too. So StudioLive AR mixers offer two different ways to record. Connect a StudioLive AR8 USB mixer to your computer via USB 2.0, and you have an 8x4 multitrack digital recorder, ready to capture all input channels plus the main mix to a Mac or Windows PC with professional, 24-bit/96 kHz quality. An onboard stereo SD recorder lets you record the main mix without a computer—just hit Record and go. Recording can't get much easier than this!
Fly in backing tracks and play break music, too!
Both the integrated USB recording interface and the SD recorder have multiple uses beyond simply recording. With just a few backing tracks, your small band can sound like a much larger act, so we enabled the USB interface to play back two stereo streams through the mixer—great for backing tracks, click tracks, or program music. Use the SD recorder to play up to 32 GB of MP3 and .WAV files for hours of program music or backing tracks without needing a computer. And don't forget the Bluetooth feature in the Super Channel, which lets you play break music straight from your smartphone. With several ways to get the job done, you can work the way you want to.
Integrated software makes recording a snap.
PreSonus StudioLive AR mixers are tightly integrated with state-of-the-art recording software to help you achieve your creative vision. Record with PreSonus' Capture™ live-recording software, then edit in our award-winning Studio One® Artist DAW (recording and production software); both are included free.
Sweeten with digital effects for a polished, professional-caliber sound.
To get a great mix, you need high-quality effects. The StudioLive AR8 USB has you covered with an internal stereo effects processor with 16 presets, including an assortment of room, hall, and plate reverbs; chorus and delay effects; even a preset that emulates an acoustically treated studio room to provide a warmer, more intimate tone. A dedicated effects return, complete with master level fader and dedicated monitor send, lets you adjust the amount of the effects in your main and monitor mixes. You can even bypass the effects with a footswitch (optional). It's just another way that StudioLive AR mixers enable you to build professional-quality mixes and recordings quickly and easily.
A complete solution that's compact, easy to use, and built for the road.
Compact and built for the road, the StudioLive AR8 USB is an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution for audio mixing and recording. With a wide variety of connections, two ways to record, and a simple, elegant mixing surface, it will quickly become the heart of your live and studio sound systems.

My research has been focused on enteric infections and vaccine development for these infections.
With regard to enteric infections, this has included laboratory detection of these agents, describing their epidemiology in travelers and developing country populations, developing appropriate clinical management strategies including antibiotics and rehydration methods.
With regard to vaccines, I have participated in the development of vaccines for cholera, rotavirus, enterotoxigenic E coli, shigellosis and other bacterial infections.
Most recently, i have initiated a large project called the DOVE project (Delivering Oral Cholera Vaccine Effectively). Working in collaboration with UNICEF, WHO and other partners, this project will facilitate the use oral cholera vaccine as part of an integrated strategy for cholera control.

PHP: a fractal of bad design
Preface I'm cranky. I complain about a lot of things. There's a lot in the world of technology I don't like, and that's really to be expected—programming is a hilariously young discipline, and none of us have the slightest clue what we're doing. Combine with Sturgeon's Law, and I have a lifetime's worth of stuff to gripe about. This is not the same. PHP is not merely awkward to use, or ill-suited for what I want, or suboptimal, or against my religion. I can tell you a...

What the Heck are Algebraic Data Types? ( for Programmers )
This post is meant to be a gentle introduction to Algebraic Data Types. Some of you may be asking why you should learn Algebraic Data Types and how will they change your world? I am not going to answer that, but suffice it to say that Algebraic Data Types are the underpinning of the type systems to the ML derived languages, Haskell and OCaml included, and their construction and properties allow for the power (and inference) that accompanies these type systems. They are cropping...

Dart is to JavaScript as C# is to C++
Given the background of Lars Bak, the Google engineer whose V8 JavaScript interpreter upended Firefox's claim on speed, it was reasonable to suspect Google's new Web development language might look a lot like Smalltalk. But that might have taken the Web in a strange and different direction. Today, on the day of a Web developers' conference in Denmark, Google and members of the Chromium open source development team raised the curtain on Dart, the company's bid for a new and somewhat more str...

Why I love everything you hate about Java
If you're one of those hipster programmers who loves Clojure, Ruby, Scala, Erlang, or whatever, you probably deeply loathe Java and all of its giant configuration files and bloated APIs of AbstractFactoryFactoryInterfaces.

#46 – Why software sucks
No one makes bad software on purpose. No benevolent programmer has ever sat down, planning out weeks of work, with the intention of frustrating people and making them cry. Bad software, or bad anything, happens because making things is hard, making good things doubly so. The three things that make it difficult are: Possessing the diverse skills needed not to suck.Understanding who you're making the thing for.Orchestrating the interplay of skills, egos and constraints over the course of the ...

|My look for the day; Atelier 61 - Beaded Collar Dress
We decided it would be a more relaxing time if we stayed on the Friday night, at the fantastic Crowne Plaza NEC before the event. So after our day jobs we ventured to meet at the hotel for an evening of complete pampering all in prep for the Clothes Show the next day. Often I tend to find on a Friday night I'll go out have drinks, then feel tired and drained the day after, so instead of that happening this time we put pampering plans in place to avoid that in the form of hair masks, face masks, nails, feet and yummy food!
The five day event featured catwalk shows, designer guests, celebrities, makeovers, champagne bars, hundreds of fashion and beauty brands to shop from, and of course the spectacular 5,500 seat Fashion Theatre. The Fashion Theatre showcased the best of British designers and Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model Live! Once we got up and headed over to the NEC we both decided Fashion Theatre was top of 'to do' list so off we went.
The show was introduced by the fabulous Brit designer Henry Holland we got to see a show full of fashion, dance and of course a hint of music - and on the day we attended we got to see X-Factor Boot camp rejects Times Red (The 3 piece boy band who were part of Louis Walsh's groups), they certainly could sing and for the young ladies in the audience, it was as if Christmas had come early!
My favourite part of the main show was seeing the elegant dresses. I fell in love with this white strapless floor length gown.
There honestly was so much to see and keep you guessing - to the point that the dance team came out and were doing Gangam Style routine on stage! Which as you can imagine got all the crowd going.
Overall the show was spectacular, a superb mixture of music, dance moves and of course some immense fashion designs and edge looks. Why not check out the various looks from the stage show by clicking here. If you do get a chance to head to the clothes show this year or next - the main show is a must!!
After the show we both decided to head on the non stop shopping, to see what was out there. I immediately divded straight into the Models Own stand to indluge into some new shades for my nail polish collection, but there were a variety of beauty brands including enw upcoming ones. Celebrities were walking about including stars from TOWIE and my friend and I literally bumped into Amy Childs on our mission across the hall!
The Clothes Show has changed since I first started going, but one of my main loves is still there which is vintage. Myself and my friend hunted about the stores full of interesting articles and picked out our favourite items.... I went for a sparkled jumper (I seem to be loving them this season) and she went for a black oversized beaded jumper. We got them for a bargain of £25.00 for 2!
There you have it my round of the Clothes Show Live 2012, all I can say is if you love to shop, love to hunt for a bargain then this is the show for you. One major tip is getting in there early before it gets too busy, researching where you want to go and also making sure you always go to see the show at the Fashion Theatre.
If you missed out on the Clothes Show this year don't panic, you can read all about it on their website. You can also find out about next years as soon as the tickets are released. Don't miss out!

From designer Padding issuesAsked by cheekyface on October 17, 2014 at 06:17 AM
I'm playing around with the form designer and found a problem with the padding. At least I never noticed this before but when you set the horizontal padding it only affects the left side. The right side crawls off the form if you increase the padding enough. The form I've included here makes this obvious (depending on your monitor possibly?). If you open the form then click to expand the text on the opening page you will see the test running off the screen. I'll leave this for now but will need to fix it soon so I hope I hear from you soon.I should also add that the rounding corners option in the form designer seem to overlook the navigation blocks (with the 'back' and 'next' buttons). This is only obvious in my case becasue the navaigation block doesn't cover the bottom of the form completely (it's only revealing the bottom of the form a little but enough to make me look there) and it makes it more obvious this way. It would be fine if it were equal in width to the form OR if the bottom of the navigation bloce was rounded too.
JotForm Support
Hi Danny,
You can play a little bit with the custom CSS area to inject some padding to the Free Text HTML field. In you're in the form designer, click on the CSS area and click back to the Free Text HTML field. From there, you'll be able to adjust the paddings:
Then can also play with the Form Line Layout properties in the Design Tab. This is where you should adjust the padding for the entire form:
So, I've cloned your form and made these adjustments. Please kindly check it here: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/42894060914963
With regards to the page break, I have created a new thread for it. Please kindly check it here: https://www.jotform.com/answers/444999.
Thank you!
Thank you Welvin!
All fixed.
In my colleagues name, you are welcome. I am glad to hear that everything is fixed for you.
Do let us know if you need any further assistance.

text: I have searched the forums and have been unable to find the correct procedure for setting the home point prior to takeoff. Perhaps it is in the forum and I have simply missed it. If that is the case, I apologize for the new thread and can someone please link me to the correct thread. The issue I am having is that I attempt to set the home point once the props are spinning, but I receive a message stating that the AC will return to this point using the default altitude of "0.0 ft". I have the default RTH altitude in the app set to 40m (making sure I clear trees). If I set the home point while the AC is in the air, I receive a message that the I1 will return to this point and it states the RTH altitude as the current altitude of the I1 (e.g. If the I1 is at 11m, that is listed as the RTH altitude. If I ascend to 50m and set the home point, the app notifies that 50m is the new RTH altitude.) What am I doing wrong? How do I get the AC to use the default altitude setting in the app upon startup? Thank you.

Correctin scaling of the form in mobile devicesAsked by boypinoy05 on March 29, 2015 at 04:52 PM
I've been trying to get the Mobile Responsiveness Widget to work, since my co-workers and I are Field Technicians and the "Mobile layout" is a lot easier than having to keep zooming in.
The form is currently on my server, but I can also link your guys' address.
The picture attached is a screenshot from my iPhone 6 plus. As you can see, the form fields are too tiny to work with.
Please contact ASAP.
JotForm Support
When I check the direct link of the forms, they appears to be bigger as they normally are since there is a scaling meta code code on Jotforms.
I noticed on your screenshot, in the address bar it is showing your website URL. Did you previously embed the forms to your page? If yes, make sure to add the following meta code between the header tag so the page will scale accordingly on smaller devices for easier viewing and filling of the fields.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0" />
Hope this helps. Thank you!

The Sorano family behind Letizia's and Enoteca Roma has combined elements of those two spots into one Logan Square restaurant. The comfortable back room, decorated with flower pots, is the perfect place to settle in with an oversize ciambelle (Italian doughnut) and cappuccino. For those who need something more substantial, a small but satisfying menu of hearty snacks, such as piaddini (light, flatbread-like sandwiches) and Roman-style pizza, provide sustenance. Our pick: a giant arancino, a fried risotto ball with fillings like sautéed mushrooms, and a cup of one of the warming housemade soups.

I was totally blown away by this place. One of my favorite meals so far has been the homemade pasta at Letizia's Fiore (I still dream about it). You'll also want to try the fried sicilian risotto balls. Sit outside, have a glass of wine, enjoy great service, and maybe even play a little bocce ball afterward. Added bonus: there's a speakeasy-style bar within steps so you can make a night of it.

REVIEW: 'Dick Whittington' – Milton Keynes Theatre, Christmas 2016
The title character in this year's pantomime at Milton Keynes Theatre walks for miles in search of fame and fortune, strolling to London where he has been told the streets are paved with gold. Fortunately for theatregoers in the new city, Dick Whittington provides panto gold right on our doorstep! Melding magic, merriment and mayhem, the festive extravaganza is packed full of fun and stars a Christmas cracker of a cast.
Penniless Dick is played with warmth and wit (certainly more wit than is often granted to these boyish roles in panto) by actor Chris Jenkins. After packing his knapsack and lacing up his boots, this earnest chap ventures off towards the big smoke (striding "all the way from Cheltenham"), accompanied by his feline friend Tommy the Cat. When the duo finally arrive in the confusing city of Cockney conversation, they are disappointed not to be welcomed by golden paving stones. Completely famished and ready to earn an honest living, they discover that their promised land is overrun with villainous rats. Happily, they land on their feet ("miaow!") when Tommy proves himself to be a top-notch rat-catcher and secures them both jobs in merchant Alderman Fitzwarren's shop, Fitzwarren's Stores.
Kev Orkian is panto personified as the shop's assistant Idle Jack (swiftly promoted by Alderman to "assistant shop assistant" when Master Whittington appears on the scene!). Returning to the stage in what has become his regular Yuletide gig, Orkian easily proves why he is without question one of the UK's finest entertainers. As an internationally acclaimed comedy pianist he is well-practised at simultaneously tinkling the ivories and tickling funny bones. With no piano in Dick Whittington (all the fantastic music is overseen by "Uncle Baz", musical director Barry Robinson), Orkian is free to roam around the stage and has the audience in stitches throughout.
REVIEW: 'Aladdin' – Milton Keynes Theatre, December 2015
Gags, giggles and glitz galore ensure that Milton Keynes Theatre's fantastical take on Aladdin is full of festive family fun.
The genie-ously cast pantomime stars singer-songwriter Ben Adams as the love-struck lad from Old Peking, entertainer Kev Orkian as his ridiculously funny brother Wishee Washee and showbiz stalwart Gary Wilmot as their panto dame mother Widow Twankey. Ballet dancer turned celebrity Wayne Sleep and American actress (and, yes, former wife of cultural icon Elvis Presley) Priscilla Presley make wishes come true as the Genie of the Ring and the Genie of the Lamp, respectively.
Complete with spectacular singing, enthusiastic dancing, stacks of silliness and more audience participation than ever before, Aladdin proves once again that the theatre is a place for everyone. In panto anything goes, and this show has all sorts of entertaining eccentricities!
INTERVIEW with Wayne Sleep, November 2015
This Christmas, renowned British dancer, director, choreographer, actor and panellist Wayne Sleep will perform in pantomime at Milton Keynes Theatre. Before the busy rehearsal period began, Wayne had a bit of a chinwag with Georgina Butler…
Famous for being the shortest male dancer to ever attend The Royal Ballet School (he is 5'2″), Wayne Sleep is best known for his career as a celebrated Senior Principal Dancer with The Royal Ballet. Numerous roles were created for him by some of the world's greatest choreographers and he frequently featured as a guest artist with other companies.
Appointed OBE in 1998, Wayne has also received honorary degrees from the Universities of Exeter and Teesside; is a Patron of the British Ballet Organization; is a Vice-President of the Royal Academy of Dance and has two entries in The Guinness Book of Records. In addition to dancing, Wayne also acts and makes appearances as a dance judge and celebrity. His credits include West End, regional and touring theatre productions; television shows and films – not to mention a plethora of pantomimes!
REVIEW: 'Peter Pan' – Milton Keynes Theatre, December 2014
You don't go to see a pantomime without expecting some kidding around and Peter Pan at Milton Keynes Theatre is guaranteed to bring out the child in everyone.
This year's Yuletide extravaganza is an awfully big adventure that gives the tale of the boy who refuses to grow up a swashbuckling new lease of life.
Excitement was in the air when I attended a marvellous matinee performance on Friday. With Christmas Day itself less than a week away, youngsters from local schools – including Deanshanger Primary, Springfield Lower and Woodland Middle – were ending the term in seasonal style with a festive theatre visit.
Pantomime is probably one of the first experiences that most children have of the theatre. Going by the wide smiles and screams of delight (as every juvenile in the auditorium joined in with rounds of "he's behind you"), the next generation of theatre-goers are well and truly hooked!
INTERVIEW with Flawless, December 2014
Stylish dance act Flawless rocketed to fame on Britain's Got Talent in 2009 and their supernova routines have yet to be eclipsed. This Christmas they are starring as a pop-locking, hip-hopping pirate crew in Peter Pan at Milton Keynes Theatre. Ahead of their onstage antics, the troupe met with Georgina Butler to show off some moves, talk about dance and share their efforts to revolutionise pantomime…
NEWS: "Second Star to the right and straight on 'til morning": Official launch of 'Peter Pan' – Milton Keynes Theatre, October 2014
"I suppose it's like the ticking crocodile, isn't it?
Time is chasing after all of us." (J.M. Barrie)
This year is flying by and there is no greater indication that Christmas is just around the corner than the press call for the official launch of Milton Keynes Theatre's annual pantomime.
Family favourite Peter Pan will sprinkle fairy dust over audiences throughout the festive season and the performers seem just as enchanted by the magic of panto as the theatregoers who flock to see them in action.
NEWS: So, that was Christmas – December 2013
Lots of dance on television makes for a cracker of a Christmas
Christmas makes its presence felt as soon as the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing waltzes onto our television screens. When the sequin-covered participants take their first tentative steps onto the dance floor, I just know that the final quarter of the year will whizz by and, shortly, the winner will be lifting the coveted glitterball trophy, before the nation frantically finishes decking the halls.
Pantomime season means flocks of families visit the theatre for some festive cheer, while traditional productions of The Nutcracker (on stage and on screen) attract balletomanes and newcomers alike.
But, once cosseted in our homes for the celebratory period (whether just for the big day itself, or for an extended break), it is more often than not the television that we rely on for entertainment. Dance fans were spoilt for choice with plenty of telly treats this Christmas. If this time of year is all about indulging in what you enjoy, I certainly fulfilled the brief when it came to setting time aside to view some gorgeous productions.

For example: its currently possible to create a trophy for a like to post ratio. When a members like to post ratio falls down, then the trophy makes much less sense.
It would make sense to set have a setting to let the member loose the trophy if the conditions for the trophy is no longer met.
This is especially useful if you use trophies together with automatic promotions.
I would like to define trophies for all promotion criteria. So if a user has gathered all trophies related to a certain usergroup promotion, then the promotion is certain to take place.
If one of the criteria is no longer met, then this should be clear to the user. The user should not longer have the trophy and should be aware that this is a criteria that the member still needs to meet.

Video: Terrifying scenes as plane makes emergency landing in Turkey
Passengers on Turkish Airlines flight endured a terrifying experience when their plane had to make an emergency landing in Istanbul.
The plane, which was travelling from Milan to Istanbul, made two attempts to land before finally landing in such a way at Ataturk Airport that sparks and smoke were left in its wake.
Initial reports suggest that an engine caught fire in mid flight but it now appears that the engine caught fire after being damaged during the first, aborted landing.
The plane was carrying 97 passengers and all were uninjured and the plane was driven off the runway.
A spokesperson told Reuters: "Turkish Airlines' TK 1878 flight from Milan to Istanbul skipped Ataturk Airport during its first landing. It drove off the runway after declaring an emergency landing. All 97 passengers have been taken to the terminal with no health problems. The reason for the incident will be clear after the investigation."

A boiler towers over a fjord on Norway's south coast from a 116-year-old pulp mill, the largest employer in the town of Tofte.
The 300 jobs may be gone by September, the deadline set by the loss-making plant's Swedish owner to find a buyer or close, victim of high wage costs, the strong Norwegian currency and the debt crisis that has hurt its local European markets.
Norway, the world's seventh largest oil exporter, is the envy of western Europe, beating everyone with 3.4 per cent growth last year and filling its coffers from oil while others were pulled under by debt.
Healthy growth is expected to continue this year but the troubles of the Tofte mill highlight some problems that have emerged in the economy just as the campaign for the September election, which has focused on other issues, gets underway.
"The European crisis just seems to be never ending," said Jostein Sjaavaag, a union representative who has worked at the plant for 25 years.
"There is still a good market out there, but it's in Asia, far away, with much higher shipping costs and cheaper buyers."
The plant is innovative and supplies an industry with healthy 4-5 per cent annual growth.
But the strong Norwegian crown has hurt its competitiveness, its traditional European markets have imploded, and the oil sector's boom is driving up wage costs.
If the Tofte workers lose their jobs, they will join the growing ranks of Norway's unemployed. The number of jobless risen to an eight-year high of nearly 100,000, although its 3.5 per cent rate is much lower than Sweden's 8.2 per cent.
Just a year ago the government was worried the unemployment was too low, the housing market was overheating and it cut spending to cool the economy down.
The central bank, which had been promising rate hikes to cool the economy, last week delayed its first hike until the end of next year and said there was now a 50 per cent chance its next move would be a cut.
The housing market has stagnated and bankruptcies rose by 31.9 per cent in May from a year earlier. Mainland exports to Europe are down 2 per cent in the first five months and manufacturing exports have fallen 13 per cent.
Wage costs, up more than 60 per cent since 2000, about six times more than in Germany or Sweden are adding to the pain while banking regulations, among the toughest on the continent, are also holding back lending.
"We have a bankruptcy rate (in the retail sector) like we have never seen before," said Vibeke Hammer Madsen, the head of Norway's Retail Association, which represents 16,500 businesses.
The latest consumer confidence data showed that households are still comfortable about their finances but they are starting to worry about the outlook for the economy.
"When consumers' belief in the 'Norwegian exceptionalism' -- that Norway will be an eternal exception in the world -- ends or gets doubted, it will turn the housing market around," Harald Magnus Andreassen, a chief economist at Swedbank First Securities said.
"I think there is a significant risk that housing prices will fall the next 2-5 years."
Oil prices are also becoming a big risk as Norway's vast petroleum sector, which accounts for almost a quarter of the economy and half of exports.
Although oil investments are at a record high, oil prices have fallen to US$100 a barrel from last year's US$112 average and a sustained fall to around US$80 levels seen as recently as 2010, would jeopardize many projects, economists say.
Statoil has already delayed a US$15.5 billion Arctic investment because of costs and said it was reviewing several projects.
The economy is still expected to grow a respectable 2.5 per cent this year, rising to 2.75 per cent next year, according to the central bank. Governor Oeystein Olsen has been trying to calm nerves, even as the bank chopped back forecasts.
"I wouldn't say people should be worried, I would say they should just enjoy life," Olsen said.
Nevertheless, there have been calls from unions for the government to start preparing for a more serious slowdown.
"We are not in crisis... we are not there yet but it is time to start planning and getting ready," said Stein Reegaard, the chief economist of LO, Norway's biggest trade union group. "From 3-4 per cent growth we slowed to 2-3 per cent. We'll be worried when it goes below."
Labour Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, who is running for reelection in September, has acknowledged that the economy is showing "alarming" signs and that his government would be prepared to act if necessary.
The government is not short of money and has plenty of room to move. It runs a budget surplus worth 11 per cent of GDP thanks to the world's highest oil tax, and sits on a wealth fund worth US$720 billion, or about US$144,000 per man, woman and child.
Polls show the opposition Conservatives with a big lead over Stoltenberg but campaigning is only just getting underway.
So far the economy has not been a major election issue but the concern about housing and the rise in unemployment could put it on the agenda.
The Conservatives, led by Erna Solberg, promise to help the economy by cutting taxes, reducing the size of government and easing regulation but they are clearly not promising a spending spree to boost growth.
Stoltenberg has suffered in the polls because critics say he has neglected social issues such as health and social services but he is respected on the economy so some commentators say he could get a lift if the economy comes into focus.

CCID Consulting Analyzes Prospect on China's MFP market
JUNE 2008 /CCID Consulting, China's leading research, consulting and IT
outsourcing service provider, and the first Chinese consulting firm
listed in Hong Kong recently released its 2007-2008 Annual Report on
China's MFP market.The report shows that, the market share of laser
MFPs reaches 48.7% in 2007, up 26% over 2006. CCID Consulting forecasts
that the market share of laser MFPs will reach 53.5% in 2012. CCID
Consulting forecasts MFP market will develop in three trends in the
Laser products' demands increases, color MFPs become the focus
have high demands for high-speed printing and heavy load printing
functions. Based on its high speed, high quality and durability, laser
MFPs cater for more users and thus become more and more popular. Laser
MFP is the first choice for office equipment in the future. With the
evolution of global business, especially the development of media and
advertising industries, color MFP products become the major development
trend. Besides, laser MFP's price has a slowdown trend, which accords
with the market trend of laser products replacing that of ink-jet
products, similarly, color laser MFPs will substitute black and white
laser MFPs.
Office integrated solutions receives much concern
functions are becoming more sophisticated and system applications more
complicated, which makes MFP not only OA equipments, but also solutions
to improve efficiency and reduce cost. While industrial OA matures, MFP
solutions tend to satisfy more urgent office demands. For example,
logistics and finance industry need MFP solutions to provide high load
printing tasks with high printing definition and fast printing speed,
while media and advertising industry need MFP solutions to provide high
quality, colorful, high definition printing results. Cost is the key
issue in OA system construction for enterprises in merging industry and
small enterprises. Hence, the performance price ratio and service life
of MFP products are the key deciding factors for these enterprises. MFP
solution for segment market will be the focus of different kinds of MFP
providers. As MFP providers enhance technologically, providing
optimized solutions will be an important approach to enhance their
competitive capacities.
High efficiency and energy saving products are key areas in market competition
the policy of 'energy saving and reduction of emission', more
enterprises tend to focus on high efficiency and energy saving
products. MFP products from HP, Canon, and Konica appear in the list of
energy saving government purchasing products. Consumers can find high
efficiency and energy saving products in both high-end commercial
market and low-end household market. High performance, such as high
speed, low power consumption, and low noise of these products attracts
more consumers, which will be the hotspot in the future MFP market.

As a boobie blogger I get to bring you, the people, a lot of joy!! BUT, with great boob power also comes great responsibility so when something sad happens, I must also tell you about that.
So, here is a clip from a recent Anya Sakova cam show, and as you can see she had one hell of a boob reduction. Gone are two of the most amazing big naturals that has ever been seen on a slim body, and what we're left with is well… not good. Not good at all.
I understand why she did it if they caused her a lot of health problems, but I can still shed a tear for selfish reasons.

You have got to be kidding me. I'm in denial. Speechless. Devastated. Wow. No.
May 31st, 2017 at 4:32 pm
Merilyn gave us tit freak perverts great joy. Her impish grin and her eye twinkle haven't changed and if this dear girl is still alive because of the reduction then God bless her, you selfish assholes!
February 19th, 2015 at 1:00 pm
Woah… I have never been a fan of her beyond her boobs… but those are some ugly botched tits that even if completely healed are unremarkable… talk about killing the gold egg laying hen… hope she feels healthier though.
February 19th, 2015 at 1:03 pm
and they did a bad reconstruction job at that, oddly shaped and the the whole "Uni boob" thing, she definetly will be missed and needed a bettr doctor
February 19th, 2015 at 1:07 pm
She didn't just reduce them. She reduced them and got implants. They look utterly fake, carved up and not all that smaller.
February 19th, 2015 at 2:14 pm
I'm sure they'll look much better after the swelling goes away & the implants settle. I know my wife's tits looked 100x better 4 months after her frontal upgrade.
February 19th, 2015 at 2:21 pm
Shocking…uniboobed, scarred, mishapen – words fucking fail me! I looks like she's had multiple tumours removed, and in a hurry. Was this just a reduction or did she have cancer or something? I'm surprised she's got the nerve to show that chest in public. Awful.
February 19th, 2015 at 2:54 pm
I read elsewhere that she had cysts or tumors or something, and that was the reason for the surgery. I think the reason for the uniboob is that she's always had some uniboob, but it was harder to tell because the rest of her boobs was so huge. And I agree there is swelling going on here making what's left look terrible. She should have waited longer to heal before coming back.
You can't fault her for taking care of her health, but of course it's sad to see one of the greatest slim and stacked bodies ever gone.
February 19th, 2015 at 4:39 pm
Well, a little of my perverted side just died today… one of my all time favorite big breasted models is gone. I'm going to hope it was because of medical reasons that she had to do this and that she is now healthier for it. But something tells me she thought it would make her look better like that horrible michael jackson nose job she got no so long ago. I thought I had seen the worst botched breast reductions with Lindsey Dawn Mckienze and Domino – two of my other favorite big breasted models, but this one takes the cake, it seriously looks like a cheap $5,000 stripper boob job done at some guys house… RIP Merilyn Sakova.
February 19th, 2015 at 7:24 pm
Totally devasted?!
February 19th, 2015 at 9:50 pm
Why did she get a reduction with implants? Was her breast tissue full of cancer? How awful. Thank goodness she did a ton of work before this though.
February 20th, 2015 at 1:57 am
They look oddly stiff and weird. They kinda behave like a piece of wax fruit.
February 20th, 2015 at 2:26 am
That's more than just a reduction, that's a full double mastectomy with implants, minus the Angelina Jolie budget afforded by whatever Eastern bloc healthcare was made available to her; where hospitals are often still run by utilitarian-trained staff. As someone else mentioned, the ligaments binding her tissue to her sternum had already been detached from the weight over the years, causing implant migration, swelling (with possibly permanent scar tissue) and epic uniboob.

February 20th, 2015 at 12:02 pm
If she is unfortunate enough to have cancer then fair enough, but if she's done it because of how big they are then that is basically slapping god in the face, really don't understand why girls with big tits have a reduction, especially when they do it at an early age… the scars are always bad, just a huge disappointment, when they have been so lucky to have big tits in the first place.
February 22nd, 2015 at 4:29 am
A mess!
February 24th, 2015 at 10:21 am
Damn, i get why she did it, but why would she be happy with the job they did?!? They're so close together! Seriously, how would a titjob even look with those?
February 24th, 2015 at 4:20 pm
I heard on the titsintops forum that she definitely did have cancer. I feel so sorry for her! 🙁
Thanks for sharing your gifts with us Anya/Merilyn, wishing you health and happiness for the future.
From a fan.
February 27th, 2015 at 11:07 am
Butchered!! Get a lawyer……..and another surgeon.
February 27th, 2015 at 11:09 am
Give them time. Her skin will stretch a bit (ask Beshine how that works) and the implants wil settle differently. She may still raise your flag after a year or so. Anyway, Id never refuse her!
February 27th, 2015 at 3:52 pm
Oh fuck. No way…what's wrong with this ladies? It's like Linsey Dawn McKenzie…Why? Is it possible that girl with this treasure chest has a boyfriend that don't like her boobs? Someone who say 'don't do it'! Hell…from heaven's boobs to destroyed ugly fakes. I'm crying.
February 28th, 2015 at 10:34 am
F*ck my life
February 28th, 2015 at 8:41 pm
Good grief…… I could not watch all of that awful clip, the surgeon should be facing criminal charges for that abomination of a boob job! What a tragedy 🙁 🙁

March 5th, 2015 at 9:17 pm
Fucking cancer… someone find a cure already for fucks sake!! Anyway, we have tons of photos and videos of her, so I'm not that worried. Sooner or later, all models reach the end of their careers.
March 13th, 2015 at 7:32 am
First was Linsey Dawn McKenzie, now my favourite big tit girl. Why is the life so hard with those busty women?
March 20th, 2015 at 5:27 am
Oh my god!!!!!!!
March 29th, 2015 at 12:34 pm
She could allways be a fitness model now and beerman youre a sack of shit.
June 15th, 2015 at 2:27 am
Just now found out, I'm totally devastated! She was my all-time favorite, ever.
Nothing is more important than good health, so I hope she is okay.
June 21st, 2015 at 12:01 am
I too only recently found out and am devastated. I am surprised just how much this distresses me. Merilyn is my favourite adult actress. I admire that she never went hardcore and I am glad that this happened for genuine medical reasons. My response mirrors that of John: "Fucking cancer".
All things come to an end, and it could be worse. A decade of being one of the most sexually attractive women ever is quite a legacy. I will never forget her. I wish her health and success in her future endeavours.
August 6th, 2015 at 11:34 pm
Truly she was a piece of art, even her face now is completely different…her personality was one of her biggest draws though..definitely a fun loving girl. Seemed like she really embraced being so well endowed.
She was my vision of the perfect woman and she was for many I am sure. At first I thought her chest was way too large but eventually I started to appreciate how unique her figure was. I like to think her individualism transcended some of the unfortunate elements of pornography, soft or not. I've never seen anything like her. A legacy to say the least.

It's so sad to see one the best pair huge natural tits ever to be placed on a woman that small gone. Never to be seen again. Her tits used to look so good. They will be missed
November 4th, 2015 at 1:31 pm
She did the right thing!
It's sad but health is more important than perfect tits. Imagine what she would think if she read some of these comments after going through such a traumatic experience (cancer, double mastectomy etc.).
Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Fucking animals.
November 18th, 2015 at 10:54 pm
Bye bye Merlyn Sakova. R.I.P
She took what he had to enjoy , as had large breasts . The new breasts are scarred with patience the scars will decline, but natural breasts of the past were much more interesting , many will dislike the new look , this is logical , but the show must go on , sorry that she dindt make any movie hardcore for public obsviusly, but there are many other girls to replace her.

She will have had a reduction because her massive boobs were causing problems with her back. Try carrying 2 sandbags round with you all day and night tied to your chest. Alas tho my teenage years have been corrupted by what i have seen she should have retired and ended this great era with her army of fans content and happy in the ignorant knowlage that their big tit queen was still just that. Now our lasting memories will be her botched tits

About a Stool is perfect as, well, a bar stool but also for informal meetings or meals.
No furniture series is complete without a bar stool. About a Stool is perfect as, well, a bar stool but also for informal meetings or meals. It has the same capacity for transformation as the other members of the family and ranges from a minimalist and simple plastic stool to a sensuous upholstered version with a weightier presence.
Here, About a Stool stands on Nordic legs in soap-finished or lacquered oak or ash wood stained black, an option that gives the bar stool optical weight and feet that are planted firmly on the ground.
Seat Height is 64cm (Low) and 74cm (High)
At the heart of everything that HAY does is the notion that contemporary design should spring from a good idea, innovative technology and quality materials in combination with joyful, straightforward and uncomplicated aesthetics.

Joomla! template design is a complex and time consuming process, and there is tension between designing for beauty and designing for function. While other Joomla! template providers tend to put most of the design effort into a graphic based job and give very slight attention to the simplicities and usability of the template, JoomlArt always keeps our goals to make the templates both pleasurable and functional, appealing and usable with a text and CSS based layout. In fact, as you can see in most of our JA joomla template club, simple and usable design is the approach of our templates and is also the gold of our templates.

The Chicago Bulls will officially start the 2012 NBA Playoffs, as they are set to tip off at Noon, against the Philadelphia 76ers at the United Center. Not much time to tune up for teams in this shortened, lockout season. The Bulls played 2 games in 2 nights before having just one night off before the playoffs start. In a legit, 82 game season, most teams have a 3 or 4 day turnaround before the playoffs start. Not this season, and I think it will show on some teams. And one of them, just so happens to be the Bulls opponent, the 76ers. Philly was one of the early surprises in this shortened season. They started off hot, and then injuries plagued them and they sort of lost their momentum, and tanked the final 2 games to ensure a match up with the Bulls. Finishing up as the eight seed, they get to face the best record in the NBA, and maybe the most complete team in the Eastern Conference. Sixers made it known very publicly, that they preferred the Bulls over the Miami Heat, in the first round. Chicago product Evan Turner said so when he told the Delaware County Times the Sixers would be "dodging the tougher team" if they wound up facing the Bulls. Asked about Turner's comment, Bulls center Joakim Noah grinned and said, "It's cool." Sixers have a strong bench and some nice young talent in players like, Lou Williams, Evan Turner, and Jrue Holiday. However, the Bulls bench mixed in with the talent of Derrick Rose, IF healthy, will prove to be too much in this series for them to handle. Philly wasn't even a .500 team on the road this year (16-17), so I really don't see them as a threat. Be careful what you wish for, Philadelphia.
Bulls – Derrick Rose, C.J. Watson, Rip Hamilton, Ronnie Brewer, John Lucas III
Sixers – Jrue Holiday, Jodie Meeks, Lou Williams, Evan Turner
Edge: Bulls – As stated earlier, the Sixers have an impressive core of athletic, young guards. However, the Bulls have the hometown hero in Rose, alongside Rip Hamilton who has been playing good ball down the stretch. C.J. Watson is a very worthy back-up to Rose, Brewer is one of the best baseline players in the game, and even NBA nomad Johnny Lucas can come off the bench and get hot in a hurry. Lou Williams is the second best bench scorer in the league behind James Harden, and leads the team in scoring. Jrue Holiday, has had a up and down year, but has showed some flashes of leadership at times. Evan Turner is a Chicago product, and knows Derrick's game quite well. I'm still taking the Bulls core over the young Sixers guards. Inconsistency is a problem with some of these guys, and if Holiday or Williams have an off night, it will be game over quick.
Bulls – Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng, Taj Gibson, Kyle Korver
Sixers – Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand, Thaddeus Young, Sam Young
Edge: Bulls – Some decent match ups here, Bulls still superior. Luol Deng is a key component to the Bulls title run, and is having a spectacular season. Boozer needs to step his defense up, if he wants to be on the floor when it counts. He also has to be hitting his baseline and wing jump shots to keep his defender honest, or he will struggle. Taj Gibson is most likely a starter on any other NBA roster, but happily runs the block party when he comes in with the rest of the benchmob. Korver can be a defensive liability as well, but he can wreak havoc off screens, and give opponents' fits all day. Iguodala is the star of the Sixers, but he just doesn't fit well in the "elite" category of the NBA. He can drive you crazy with idiotic plays on the offensive end, but is a top notch defender. Elton Brand, a faded bad memory in a gloomy decade for Bulls' fans, is still going at it. He has been a little up and down this season, but still puts up double-doubles on a regular basis, and is consistent at his age. Thaddeus Young is a pretty efficient player, who can at times, hurt you. Fans in Philly seem to love this kid and consider him the glue to the team. Sam Young is nursing an injury, so not sure he will even see any playing time. Safe to say the Bulls have the edge in this one.
Bulls – Joakim Noah, Omer Asik
Sixers – Lavoy Allen, Spencer Hawes, Nikola Vucevic
Edge: Bulls – Noah is the natural gas that comes out of the stove top before the ignition lights the fire. You know the little tick the stove makes right before it lights? Yea, that's how I see Noah. You better hope that stove keeps ticking and doesn't light, because if it does….The house is going to blow up. Noah sets the tone, and supplies the energy for the Bulls and their fans. However, there are some nights where Noah just doesn't have it. Call it fatigue; call it a bad night, but he does have those days. I see him having a field day in this series against rookie Allen or Hawes. Omer Asik, a.k.a. The Super Bull From Istanbul, has really developed into a decent back-up role on the Bulls. He's no Luc Longely, but I like to compare the two for some odd reason. He can make silly fouls and forget his rotations, but he can also be a premier shot blocker, and a force down low. Sixers have announced that coach Doug Collins has pegged, Rookie Lavoy Allen as the starting center for the series. A surprise by many, since he has only appeared in 41 games this season, and averages a measly 4 points a game. He won't get big minutes, most likely around 20, splitting duties with Spencer Hawes, but this is still a surprise. Some team chemistry issues might be going on because when coach Collins was asked who would start at center a few days ago, he replied, "I don't know who it's going to be, but it won't be Vuce."
Bulls – Tom Thibodeau
76ers – Doug Collins
Edge: Bulls – No brainer here, as Coach Thibodeau is by far the superior head coach. He is relentless, he is fierce, and he means business. Not a knock on former Bulls coach, Doug Collins, but he is outclassed here.
Bulls may have only gone 8-5, in April, but this should be a rather easy task for the Windy City, as long as the roster stays away from any new injuries. Bulls take Game 1 personal, for calling them the weaker team, and set the tone. Philly might steal one at home, but this should be one of the first series to finish.
Series Prediction: Chicago Bulls 4-1 series win.
