This is It ! only the price scares the hell out of me...
I agree, that is IT pretty much, but too spendy for my budget.
It seems like you could do somthing with a Basic Stamp or Audrino board, but I don't know about software.
For the price of that thing, you could get a Korg Kaoscillator: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/543486-REG/Korg_KO1_KO1_KAOSSILATOR_Dynamic.html
I'm not sure how you would interface it, but it makes some really cool sounds.
Here's one that's closer, a digital voice recorder using an Atmel AT90S8535. They have the code for a voice recorder, so it would take some software hacking to make it into a sample loop player with variable pitch.
Another Atmel voice recorder: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc1456.pdf
This one looks interesting too, Just the chip with software already loaded, but I didn't see the price:
While we're at it, DigiKey has a digital voice recorder chip for $5.50.
That's more in my price range. The pitch of the sample can be changed by varying an external oscillator. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=ISD1610BSY-ND
Here's the datasheet: http://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Nuvoton%20PDFs/ISD1600B%20Series.pdf. Just record the sample of your choice and play it back in a loop.

Freaky Friday: For the OB/GYN Who Has Everything
Friday, January 15, 2010
On a forum I frequent the other day, a friend pointed me toward a growing and DISTURBING trend across the Interwebs lately.
Hoo-ha accessories.
Yeah, no. I will never be one of those people who can use anatomically correct terms in every day conversation. Much like my 16 year old self, they will cause me to giggle like a child. So you get my favorite creative terms for the lady portions of your body.
Anyway, I was all set to post tons of pics of scary chocha jewelry, buttons, EARRINGS, t-shirts and underwear omg and all the rest of it, when I was like, wait a second. My BROTHERS read this blog. And I cannot ever speak to them ever again if I know that they happened across scary va-jay-jay pics on my website. DON'T YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME! So I'll give you a little push in the right direction, and whatever you find, you find.
K, so on the topic of ladyparts pendants and such, I get it. I get that you are all "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" and want to roar and vote and all of that business. Hey, you've probably had a baby and really respect what your body can do. But, unless you have an extremely mannish haircut AND unisex name like Alex, most people will know that you are a female simply by looking. If the only way to tell your gender is to flash your ladybits, then you have bigger problems than I can fix here. I don't understand why a nice lip gloss can't do the same thing. Still makes you feel like a lady, and doesn't scare children.
Or me.
Not to mention, do you really want the awkward moment that ensues when a nice old man compliments your "flower necklace" and you have to point out that it's actually an artful sculpture of your business? No. It would be horrifying for both of you. Unless you're one of those weird fertility-esque tree huggers who is all about the prowess of femininity and the goddess of making people feel uncomfortable. In which case, you love smacking people upside the head with your kooky slash disgusting love of your coochie, and you delight in informing people about your body and are obviously not my friend.
So, next time you're looking for a way to play up your girlyness, try a lacy cardigan, a Mary Jane shoe perhaps. I don't want to see your delicates hanging from your earlobes.
Okay... obviously not safe for work, or children, or husbands or anyone that could possibly be in the room with you, but I give you Etsy's premiere seller of jewelry that makes me want to avert my eyes and dip my entire body in Lysol Disinfecting Spray.
Also, because I couldn't help posting just one picture, I give you....
The uterus pillow.
Nothing comforts me more than reverting back to the soft warmth I felt in the womb. How do you explain that to people at your dinner party? "What, that? Oh, it's just my uterus pillow. UTERUS PILLOW. As in ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc? Who's up for some deviled eggs?"
Although, I do like the idea of a big fluffy uterus pillow at the OB's office. "K, recline, place your feet in the stirrups and your head on the smiling uterus there. Atta girl."
Moral of the story: Hey! Kooky crafty vag lovers! Fashion is a sacred thing. Leave it alone and stick to fertility vases.
PS A whole post on genitalia and I didn't ONCE have to use the real name. YESSSS. Score two points for me and the issues that my children will have as adults. Woop! Woop!

Flash floods kill
29 in Pakistan
PESHAWAR, Pakistan Flash floods following torrential rains in the countrys northwest this week have killed 29 people.
A spokesman for the disaster management authority in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province said Wednesday that most of the casualties died when their homes collapsed.
Adnan Khan said 75 people were also reported injured in the floods. He said the rains, which started Monday, damaged about 1,400 homes in the province.
Pakistan suffers every year from flash floods caused by monsoonal rains.
In addition to the flood victims, Khan says three soldiers are missing following an avalanche in the village of Surgulu Binshahia.
Pakistan suffered the worst in 2010, when floodwaters inundated one-fifth of the country, killing over 1,700 people. More than 20 million people were affected at the time.MORE IN Wire NewsDEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. Full StoryNEW YORK Darden Restaurants wants to set Red Lobster adrift.

A big reason Maureen and Jeff Storch bought a home in the new Flying Horse neighborhood of Saratoga back in 2007 was because plans called for a near six-acre park across the street from them on Crane Canyon Loop.
Here's a look at an architect's blueprint of Saratoga from the Flying Horse Web site:
So-called "Frogs Leap Park" would have something for all four of their children, ages 3, 8, 10 and 11. There was to be a playground, basketball court, baseball diamond and walking trails.
"We bought a house right on the park," Maureen Storch said.
Except for one problem. Two years later, there is still no park. Just weeds.
Here's a look at the field after the developer, Classic Homes, rolled out some artifical grass in an effort to appease neighbors upset that the park had not been built yet:
Storch and other neighbors say they were promised a park in 2007 and can't understand why Classic is building parks in adjoining Flying Horse neighborhoods but not in Saratoga.
Doug Stimple, chief executive officer of Classic, explained that Saratoga was conceived as a commercial development. Not residential.
When the developer decided to convert it to new homes in 2006, it didn't have financing for a neighborhood park, which cost about $400,000.
Before the company could complete a refinancing package, commercial credit markets froze solid. He said the parks being built in Syrah, Solera and Calistoga neighborhoods of Flying Horse all were designed and financed with the original package and those funds cannot be transfered to Saratoga.
Want to see how Saratoga has progressed? Here's an early look from GoogleEarth:
This is later from FlashEarth:
Storch also is upset that Classic has not landscaped a detention pond behind her home. Here's how it looks today in a patched-together panorama:

We support Orson Scott Card's Superman comic!
We the undersigned, proud to call ourselves Superman fans, would like to voice our support of DC Comics' decision to hire Orson Scott Card to write a story for the Adventures of Superman comic.
Card has been the subject of a number of attacks by those who want him to think like them, and are trying to force DC to fire Card simply for standing up for what he believes.
Superman stands for truth, justice, and the American Way. Superman would stand up for Card's right to free thought and free speech, even when it isn't popular. We think DC Comics should do the same.
One of the petition signers, Ken Marshall, provided the following quote, which is very fitting: "Be not intimidated, therefore, by any terrors, from publishing with the utmost freedom whatever can be warranted by the laws of your country; nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberty by any pretenses of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery, and cowardice. " - John Adams
PLEASE NOTE: After signing, iPetitions asks for a donation. It is optional and not required. This is not our doing, and we do not receive any money for this. The donation simply underwrites the iPetition site.

Student: Thurs/Sun, $20; Fri-Sat, $25 (with valid I.D.)
With Louis Hayes, drums; Abraham Burton, saxophone; Steve Nelson, vibraphone; Anthony Wonsey, piano; and Dezron Douglas, bass
While still in his teens in 1956, Louis Hayes moved to New York and joined the Horace Silver Quintet, spending the following couple of years working with greats like John Coltrane and Curtis Fuller, before joining Cannonball Adderley's quintet in 1959. He has since become one of the most recorded drummers in jazz history, and one of the players to most successfully navigate the changes in jazz since the hard bop era. Though his résumé also includes working with Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Yusef Lateef, Ravi Shankar, J.J. Johnson, Ray Brown, Wes Montgomery, and countless more, he has spent the last three decades as a leader, mobilizing some of the tightest and most cohesive groups in the business. This week, he honors Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola with his worldwide-touring band, the Jazz Communicators, featuring Abraham Burton, Steve Nelson, Anthony Wonsey, and Dezron Douglas.

The Office of Career & Professional Development hosts a number of Career Days, which allow employers to meet with students on campus and mingle in a professional atmosphere.
This annual event Spring event allows attorneys and recruiters to meet and talk with students who will participate in our Fall On-Campus Interview (OCI) program. Typically, about 200 students attend the event. This is an excellent opportunity to make an impression on students before they begin researching and bidding on Fall OCI employers during the summer.
The 2013 Meet the Employers event will be held on April 3. RSVP here. Please visit the On-Campus Interviews tab to the left for more information about OCI.
An annual event in late January hosted by the Career Office, the UC Hastings Intellectual Property student organizations, and the UC Hastings Science & Technology Law Journal. The program has two components: a Career Panel moderated by Kate Patterson, a local IP recruiter, showcasing different areas of intellectual property practice (intellectual property litigation, patent prosecution, intellectual property transactional work); and the Career Fair, an informal table-talk and reception. This event is well attended by over 100 students and 20 to 30 employers each year. IP employers have the opportunity to send an attorney to the panel and sponsor the event, underwriting the cost of the reception. The sponsors receive acknowledgement in all the publicity surrounding the event.
Please contact the Office of Career & Professional Development at (415) 565-4619 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
One of the largest recruiting programs in the country for public interest and public sector employers; the Consortium of Northern California Law Schools and the Public Interest Clearinghouse sponsor this spring event. Last year over 100 organizations and several hundred students participated. The event features formal interviews and an informal table talk.
For more information, contact OneJustice at (415) 834-0100, or visit their website, http://www.one-justice.org.
JD Careers (formerly called Creative Career Options with a JD) is an annual event in the fall. This fun, informal table talk allows students to circulate and have casual conversations with alumni who have pursued all sorts of careers outside of "big law"-- in finance, in academia, in real estate, forensic investigations, as entrepreneurs, and more. This well-attended event usually has forty UC Hastings alums participate and over one hundred students attend.

Traders offered £20,000 grants to bring them back to town centre - but not takeaways, bookies and pound shops
9:03am Monday 7th October 2013 in News Exclusive By Liam Thorp , Reporter
GREENGROCERS, restaurants and music shops will be offered £20,000 to lure them back to the town centre's empty stores.
But there will be no cash for takeaways, pound shops or bookmakers under Bolton Council's plans to revitalise the town.
Bolton Council has set aside £1.5 million of funding to be split into two areas, with grants of £20,000 and under available, as well as higher value grants.
Grants below £20,000 would be "fast-tracked" to get the process moving quickly Bradshawgate — with its high proportion of pubs and clubs — is also cause for concern, the council said, and it hopes this new £1.5 million initiative will see more restaurants along Bolton's "bar street".
The council hopes more restaurants will see shoppers stay in town after 5pm when stores close.
Council leader Cliff Morris said: "This is about taking a proactive approach and not just letting things happen to us — the town centre is very important and we want to make it as vibrant as we can.
"We want to encourage businesses to set up but it is just as important that they stay here — this is a long term thing."
Cllr Morris added that a big part of the plan is to "build a Bolton brand" with the hope of attracting family businesses and unique businesses "that will make people want to visit the town".
The plans still need to be agreed by the cabinet at a meeting on October 14, and if passed, businesses will be contacted to see if they are interested in the scheme.
The one-off money comes from a funding pot set aside by the council for improvements to the town centre.
It is hoped the scheme will bring back some businesses who have previously left the town centre.
The scheme has been welcomed by business leaders.
Rod Neasham, manager of the Market Place, said: "This deserves our support and anything that enlivens the town centre and encourages the re-letting of vacant units is a good thing.
"The more shops we have in the town centre — the better it is for everyone.
"I was pleased to hear plans for more restaurants because leisure is something the town centre needs to improve upon."
A similar scheme has been used in Altrincham, with Trafford Council offering support to bring empty units back into use.
Christian Spence, head of business intelligence at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, said: "After a number of years of high profile concern about the future of our town centres and high streets, it is good to see another major Greater Manchester town centre seriously considering its options for its own urban core."

Obama to unveil up to 19 executive actions

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
I'm on the back to -- we told you about the unprecedented measures being taken in New York to limit the Second Amendment Rights of citizens there but the anti gun movement in America is not limited to the empire state.
Not even close.
Now tomorrow as -- mention.
President Barack Obama along with -- uncle Joseph Biden and his gun control task force -- present what is being described as a sweeping set of gun control proposals.
I can tell you that tomorrow.
The president and the vice president.
We'll hold an event here at the White House to unveil a package concrete proposals.
To reduce gun violence and prevent future tragedy of tragedies like the one in Newtown Connecticut I will not get ahead of the president in terms of what.
His package of proposals.
Will include.
I will simply note that the president has made clear that -- he intends to take a comprehensive approach.
Now although.
Limits on ammunition are all among the measures that will be announced at the midday event.
In addition to those extremely controversial moves are imperial president will unveil up to nineteen executive orders that he will take without the approval of congress.
Details on what exactly those orders may focus on all that remain sketchy at this hour.
The Republicans are are -- vowing to fight back against these unilaterally and constitutionally questionable actions watch this.
I'm against having a king.
I think having a monarch is what we fought the American revolution over.
And someone who wants to bypass the constitution.
Bypass congress.
That someone wants to act like a king or a monarch.
I've been opposed executive orders even on with Republican president.
But one that wants to infringe on the Second Amendment we will fight tooth and now it's not promise you they'll be no rough -- left unturned.
As far as trying to stop him from usurping the constitution.
Now perhaps the worst part about tomorrow's gun control event is that we -- being told the children are gonna stay with the president.
Now these will reportedly be students who wrote to the White House in the wake of the Newtown school shooting last month.
Not surprisingly the decision to use kids as props in this heated debate is strong some very sharp criticism tonight.
A lot more on that in a moment but first -- bring on our guests Republican congressman Tom cotton of Arkansas democratic California congressman Brad Sherman.
Jay Carney said this -- prevents future tragedies.
How is that possible when somebody could just put on their -- -- Eight guns ten clips and had eighty shots go off without missing a beat how can you make that promise when you know and I know that's a possible.
To fulfill.
-- you could ahead on your show one of our -- all members of the sportsman's caucus or someone from judiciary.
It's your show you've decided to go for the ratings and get the best looking democratic congressman you can get is that looks tired now -- I -- so I got about him.
The Gabby Giffords shooting as tragic as it was illustrates.
What we're talking about that was a pistol to shoot.
The shooter had 33 rounds.
Win the clip was.
Exhausted he tried to -- -- that's when the crowd rushed him.
If that if that magazine Mitchell had only ten rounds going to be several people including one little room -- -- today but there's that you -- indicating that -- -- -- congressman cotton here on an assumption.
That criminals they may be evil they may be mentally ill but many of them are not stupid if they're plotting and planning and willing to -- this.
What would prevent them from taking for gun sticking it didn't in their waist band and just pulling one out after another.
I mean this will not tremendous no guarantee.
As a matter of fact it's unlikely that -- prevent any future tragedy right congressman cotton.
-- I believe that's right these gun control measures that have been reporting the news.
Are extreme.
And there antithetical to the spirit of liberty which is what the Second Amendment is all about as much as the First Amendment.
Moreover -- they'll simply be an effective as you mention.
A ban on a certain kind of magazines means just more magazines.
And anyone who's trying to at all as I know from my time and army can -- a magazine and one to two seconds a ban on so called assault weapons well in Connecticut.
There already was a ban on assault weapons and Adam lands still was able to -- one.
The city of Chicago for instance has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country they also have some of the highest murder rates in the country.
So won't this kind of legislation might make some in the media or -- still good -- want address the kind of horrific shooting six on new -- to address those we -- -- were former mental health system.
-- your families have access to health privacy.
Laws they can get let them care for the adult mentally ill children they have and also ensure that there's no federal law that -- gun free zones we don't have -- frankly in the US capitol or the White House from the brave men and women of the Secret Service and the capitol police.
Guard us and or the president our children don't deserve any less -- We -- our money that way good point congressman Sherman I'm sure if I ask if you believe in the constitution you'd say yes.
I want to look at this president many your party are urging him to.
Bypass article one section seven raise the debt ceiling Engel used the fourteenth amendment that would be unconstitutional.
I just gave a whole litany of examples.
From immigration.
On on a bunch of other issues where this president has in fact circumvented congress.
Why executive order does he not believe in coequal branches of government does -- not believe.
That congress has a right to weigh in on these issues I would think the surfing your power would be something you as a liberal would be against.
Show on every president is issued hundreds of executive orders not like -- as -- president.
Someone out there for president in this magnitude.
Never -- not true you're already.
Dreaming of what the executive order a proposal would be tomorrow.
The fact is every president has issued this country -- -- through congress and the legislative process where they passing zones are today.
Has said they want more effective enforcement of existing laws.
That's what the executive branch is supposed to do.
And where the executive order does nothing more -- -- well it will spell or not do that well obviously he's not going to ban assault weapons -- executive -- -- -- -- some tonight if he does.
I will come back tomorrow if there's an executive order.
That -- Ball all the assault weapons in the manner that the Dianne Feinstein bill would that's absolute -- the -- that last situation here is that we need.
-- you went on to state.
Yet congressman -- -- congressman cotton.
So we'll see what the contents of these not an executive orders are it's hard to imagine that some of them want overreach his constitutional powers as he has on so many other subject matters when he can't just achieve.
The kind of bipartisan consensus he needs in the congress because frankly there is a bipartisan consensus and the congress to protect the Second Amendment.
All right guys thank you both to -- -- congressman I have a funny feeling I might see you back here tomorrow night.
I'm -- -- promise.
And by the way it the best looking guy and TV I don't care what they say back in DC so thanks to be with us.

There aren't many hotels in this area and I was pleased by how nice the Hotel Raas Vilas was; and this part of Delhi was a different planet compared to... Mumbai, clean, feeling safe. My only complaint about the hotel was the mattress was uncomfortable, needing some padding (could feel the wires). The hotel room was good sized with a queen bed, small table, desk, 2 chairs, 40" TV with SAT (including 3 HBO channels, CNN, BBC News and about a dozen more US/English speaking channels), excellent bathroom, a ceiling fan, A/C, and a window that could open. Bathroom had glass shower enclosure so water stayed inside where it belongs. Towels were nearly bath sheet size. Room service menu- sick of Indian food I ordered a non-Indian dinner off the room service menu one night- food was actually...Excellent. Really surprised me. Internet is free. A little slow, but free and with a strong signal. Front desk very helpful. Small staff was always trying to please. And hotel was cheap by US standards. I definitely recommend.

Tamron organized a CSR Project Team in January 2007 consisting of members chosen by their respective workplaces including Tamron Optical (Foshan) in China with an aim of achieving CSR activities planned and executed with the cooperation of employees. Under the leadership of that project team, we worked to identify the relationship between corporate activities and domestic/international environmental and social issues. We then decided how Tamron could contribute positively to solving those issues. Three sets of guidelines were established to address our fundamental CSR themes. The "CSR Policy" declares what Tamron's CSR management guidance should be. "Action Declarations" are basic ideas for carrying out that CSR policy. Finally, "Action Codes" demonstrates ideal actions to be taken by employees when discharging CSR.
Tamron contributes to the economy, society, and environment by supplying customers with "eyes" for industry.
At Tamron, we believe that CSR can be defined as working to serve as a good corporate citizen through the manufacturing of optical products. We thus would like to fulfill the company's responsibility to society by providing products that are helpful and satisfying to many people around the world.By becoming new "eyes" for a diversity of people in a variety of situations, we hope to create and project even more inspiration.
Tamron does business in many countries around the world. This ranges from Asian countries including China - where we have a factory - to Western countries where we sell many of our products. As part of the foundation of our CSR activities, Tamron joined the Global Compact in August of 2007.
The Global Compact is an international initiative with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption.We work to be faithful to the ten principles of the Global Compact and conduct our business accordingly, in a socially responsible manner.
Please see the United Nations' website for details on the Global Compact.
We issue our CSR Report for the purpose of disclosing our environmental and social activities to stakeholders such as customers, business partners, shareholders/investors, the community, employees, and NGOs/NPOs.
The Tamron Omiya head office merged its quality management system and environmental management system in January 2008 to develop products that take the environment into account and give greater satisfaction to customers. Under the integrated management system policy, we have combined innovation and technical ability to provide high-quality products trusted by customers. At the same time, we have been working to prevent environmental pollution by reducing CO2 emissions, reducing waste, replacing and reducing hazardous chemical substances, and preserving biodiversity. Under that policy, we will achieve our strategic environmental goals and targets. In the future, we will also integrate the management systems of our Chinese factory Tamron Optical (Foshan), strengthening our activities companywide. That way, we will provide even greater contributions to society.
Tamron is addressing the issue of zero emissions, which we define as having less than 2% of total industrial waste disposed of by sending it to landfills. We are also striving to reduce industrial waste by reviewing and improving manufacturing methods and by recycling.
Tamron is switching to energy-saving office equipment such as energy-saving fluorescent lamps and double glazing. We are also aiming to achieve a reduction in CO2 emissions by actively prioritizing activities through use of electricity monitoring equipment to keep an eye on power usage and thorough measurement of the amount of CO2 emitted in the distribution process.
Tamron manufactures environmentally friendly products by placing emphasis on the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle). At the design review stage of product development, we assess the extent to which we have achieved a longer service life (longer use, easier repair), resource savings (lighter weight, more compact, reduction in the number of parts, use of recycled materials, easier disassembly), and energy savings (lower power consumption at manufacture and use stages). Products that are environmentally friendly and that meet Tamron voluntary standards are certified as being Tamron Eco Label products. See here for certified products.
>Tamron certifies environmentally friendly products under in-house standardsindex
>Photo lenses: List of models presented with the Eco Label
>Surveillance/machine vision products: List of models presented with the Eco Label
We are now working to merge Design for the Environment with Universal Design.
Tamron has established environmental-related substance regulations, setting thresholds for substances such as cadmium, lead, and hexavalent chromium even stricter than those of the RoHS Directive (European Union directive on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment). Based on those regulations, we established our environmental quality assurance system for thorough management of hazardous substances and the prevention of contamination. And in the event contamination with hazardous substances does occur, we have on hand measuring devices such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) devices, and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instruments. All of those instruments are used to check for inclusion of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)/polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)* in parts, raw materials and manufactured products.
Tamron will continue in good faith to follow regulations related to hazardous chemical substances such as the European Union's REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals) regulation and respond to demands from customers. In that way, we aim to provide environmentally friendly products that will give customers peace of mind when they are used.
* PBB and PBDE are brominated flame retardants, and a type of endocrine disruptor.
Tamron aims to be "new eyes for industry" as a part of the global optical engineering industry. At the same time, all of our employees work together to make products that customers will be satisfied with while taking environmental preservation into consideration.
Tamron received certification in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality and environmental management systems in 2000 at our locations in Japan. Since then, we have been carrying a number of activities related to the certifications. In 2008, we put together an integrated management system at the head office that integrated our quality management system and environmental management system. In addition, we were also certified by DNV Business Assurance, Japan for conformity to the requirements of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. In 2009, we unified that integrated management system at all locations in Japan (head office, Hirosaki factory, Namioka factory, Owani factory). Under a single system, we will provide environmentally friendly products and products and services that are high quality, safe, and worry-free while at the same time very unique.
Head office, Hirosaki factory, Namioka factory, Owani factory
ISO9001 and ISO14001
Certification mark
"We produce high-quality products that customers can be satisfied with."
Tamron acquired ISO/TS 16949 certification for automotive quality management systems on August 25, 2009 for our China Foshan factory, Hirosaki factory, Namioka factory and head office. We continue to work for safety, reassurance, and the environment for a motorized society. And we are expanding business in various industrial fields and producing superior products as "new eyes for industry".
In order to promote the elimination of hazardous chemical substances, Tamron issues an "Eco-Partner Accreditation Certificate" to business partners that have established an environmental quality assurance system based on criteria of Tamron's environmental quality assurance system. These certified Eco-Partners are then given preferred status for procurement. In the future, we will also conduct CSR procurement that also takes into account issues such as working environment and human rights issues.
The term "conflict minerals" refers to certain minerals originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries in Africa, the profit from the trade of the mineral is alleged to be funding armed groups that are causing human rights violations or environmental destruction.
On the basis of the conflict minerals policy, Tamron is working together with business partners to identify the history of minerals used in its products with the aim of avoiding the use of conflict minerals.
Tamron has adopted a policy of non-use of conflict-affected minerals as raw materials to fulfill its social responsibility in its procurement practices.
Tamron is working together with business partners to identify the history of minerals used in its products with the aim of avoiding the use of conflict minerals.
Tamron would like our business partners to understand the international circumstances surrounding the conflict minerals issue and support us in not using conflict minerals.
By cooperating with surveys and audits conducted by Tamron, we expect our business partners to carry out the responsible procurement of necessary minerals.

Wow! I really don't like all of the highly processed foods and they aren't good for you. What I do is make a pan of lasagnae, a pot of chili, or a double batch of spaghetti sauce and freeze it into meal sized portions. That way I have a variety of meals to choose from on those nights I just don't feel like cooking, or need something for lunch during the week. I also cook whole chickens in the crock pot and portion it out so I can have chicken fried rice one night, chicken and noodles the next, etc. This also becomes pizza topping either on store bought frozen pizzas or home made pizza.
Saving Money Without Wasting Food: Bulk Buying for Singles
It's always amazed me how many single people — and even couples — avoid purchasing food in bulk because they feel like they just won't be able to use it up. The truth is that even those of us preparing easy meals for one (or two) can benefit from bulk buying and family-sized purchases just as a parent of five does. The secret lies in choosing the proper purchases to enjoy the greatest savings. (See also: 25 Frugal Items for Your Organic Vegan Grocery List)
Loose Frozen Items
I covered this somewhat in my article on single-serving freezer meals, but it's certainly worth repeating. Family-sized bags of loose, frozen items can provide easy meals for one just as well as they can for a family of four. Since the items are separate in the bag, you only need to take out a single serving to heat in the oven, microwave, or pan. Basically, it's the same simple plug-and-play type of menu busy moms have been using since frozen food was invented. You're just scaling it down for a single person's needs.
The trick is to purchase things like packaged veggie burgers, mixed frozen vegetables, or individually-breaded chicken tenders that are designed to be removed and eaten in per-person increments. As long as you're leaning towards things that can be customized for your serving needs, there isn't any reason why you shouldn't be able to enjoy family-sized savings on anything from Tater Tots to frozen broccoli.
Convenient Canned Goods
There are a number of high-value, simple canned foods you can use with great flexibility once they're present in your pantry. The trick to incorporating them into cheap and easy meals for one while still enjoying the savings that come along with bulk purchasing is simple. Choose ones that are small enough to make use of on your own, yet available by the case or family-sized multipack.
Whether you choose ones on the cruelty-free grocery list from PETA like Manwich or canned tomato sauce, or want to indulge in that large stack of tuna cans at the warehouse store is up to you. Some favorites my husband and I like to use when the other is away on business are Hormel vegetarian chili and fat free refried beans for vegan burritos and quesadillas.
Long-Lasting Produce
The family-sized bag of kiwis might not be the best idea for a single shopper, but there's certainly no harm in picking up one of those ten-pound bags of russets for $2.50 when they go on sale. Potatoes last a long time in the fridge and make for a hearty dinner when topped with things like baked beans, chili, or cheese sauce with scallions.
Several of the veggies on this survival-mode produce list are long-lasting and can be used to create a number of tasty and affordable meals for one. The trick here is to decide which items you like enough to eat frequently and stocking up like a large family would when they go on sale. You can never go wrong with sweet potato recipes in my opinion, but there are other options such as fresh garlic or onions that can be used to season a number of dishes.
Multi-Purpose Items
Multi-purpose staple foods are a single person's best friend. Those large tubs of organic baby spinach are one such example.
You might think you aren't able to eat up an entire tub before it goes bad, but if you are serious about getting enough greens in your diet, the necessary recipe ideas will present themselves. Sure, spinach is great for salad, but that means you've got to eat all of it in its bulkiest form. What about wilting it as you toss it up with some pasta, sautéing it down to use as a pizza topping, or including some in your breakfast omelet? You can even whip some up in your smoothie if you're so inclined.
Fresh items aren't the single shopper's only multi-purpose friend. Spice blends are also a great item for people who live alone to purchase in family-sized containers. If you're a big Italian or Mexican food fan for example, why not save by purchasing taco seasoning or an Italian herb blend in a larger size? Chances are, you'll use them up faster than you think.
Dry Pantry Staples
Basic dry pantry staples remain useable for quite some time. Since you only need to create recipes in a batch large enough to enjoy for dinner, or perhaps large enough to freeze a few servings ahead, all you need to do is scale your dishes appropriately. For example, I routinely use black-eyed peas in a simple crock pot vegetable soup that David and I both enjoy. If he's out of town, I simply scale back the recipe. It's just soup for crying out loud, not quiche. Scaling it back for one isn't exactly rocket science.
Other ingredients you can use this way are lentils, macaroni, and cashews for stir fry dishes. Even ramen recipes can be enjoyed by solo diners who prefer shopping in bulk. Simply purchase a case of it at a time. It's not like it'll be going bad in your cupboard anytime soon.
As you can see, there are many easy meals for one that can be prepared with foods purchased in family-sized amounts. If I could boil this article down into one word for you to keep in mind as you shop, it would be scalability. Large pasta bakes and lasagnas won't work for singles, but anything you can easily use to accommodate an extra guest will work just as well for feeding yourself.
What do you buy in bulk for your pantry or fridge?
When I lived in an apartment with roommates, we would foodshare and shop at Costco. We just kept a spreadsheet to keep track of who paid each time, and we would maintain a balance. But yes, it's MUCH cheaper to buy in bulk!
It is easy to save money and easy to waste money if you start buying things in bulk so this is a great post offering some down to earth advice. Another point to consider is that the more stuff you can buy in bulk the less time you will spend shopping....this means two things: 1) You will have less opportunity to waste money on impulse buys 2) You will have time to do stuff that you really enjoy! Further tips along these lines in this post http://www.meanygoat.com/things-to-buy-in-bulk/ which you might also find interesting.....
There are two reasons I seldom buy things in bulk: one, storage can become a problem, especially if you are living in a small house.
Two, it takes forever to eat big quantities of food, and therefore it may not be as fresh as I would like.

I bought this for the Concours 14 and I am very happy with how it performs. Definently worth the money, it keeps all the air off my torso and I get a little bit of buffeting on the top of my helmet. I am 6'2'' 250 so there is quite a bit of me to keep the wind off of.

A faulty line in the coffee kiosk water softener at Alpine Bank in downtown Durango left part of the lobby flooded early Friday.
�There were a couple of inches of water on 30 percent of the lobby floor,� bank president Mike Burns said.
Burns said that a pressure surge in a water-softener line apparently popped the line off the machine.
New work stations were established for employees whose computers were affected by the water, Burns said.
�We were up and running by opening time,� Burns said. �It was business as usual.�
A professional cleaning crew removed the standing water and installed fans to dry the lobby floor.
As a safety precaution, a sign on the main bank entrance asked customers to use the side door on 11th Street.

CNN cannot confirm casualties as access to the country has been severely restricted.
The deaths in Aleppo, according to the opposition, occurred when Scud missiles were fired Friday by government forces at rebel strongholds in predominantly residential neighborhoods.
The missile attack came a day after a series of car bombs targeted government buildings in the capital city of Damascus, including the headquarters of al-Assad's ruling party, and left at least 53 people dead and more than 230 wounded.
The United Nations recently estimated 70,000 people died in the fighting in Syria.
