-- my next -- sat down with the Reverend Wright.
-- an extensive interview.
As part of his preparation.
Or the explosive new bestselling book I should say.
Joining me now former New York Times magazine editor in chief Edward Klein and his book is the amateur.
Barack Obama.
In the White House.
And I'm pleased to say we can make some good news here tonight it will debut at number one on the New York Times bestseller list.
This weekend so it is great to have you back with -- -- to be here -- congratulations I mean thank you that's that's great.
I'm I'm penny pinching myself to believe it.
Well -- you know and I know but a lot of folks and they and then national liberal media pinching themselves because.
This is it adds second visit to our broadcast.
And that much of the national liberal media is trying to ignore this book and -- you.
Well they're they're running stories about something that Romney did 46 years ago when he with a teenager cutting off -- -- but they're not.
Running stories that are in this book about the Reverend.
Wright claiming he was offered -- bribe but I Barack Obama's best friend.
And and I think a lot of people may be shocked to learn that you have.
Audiotapes of those conversations with -- room right.
And I'd like to play wanton right now and this is -- Reverend Wright.
Talking about truth and his relationship and -- And if we -- let's let's listen to.
And yes and he -- -- as as us.
He was confident he was very hopeful.
Pretty -- yes.
And you should we.
-- you're looking.
Sorry you see him.
-- Remarkable that unbelievable.
And and that problem is one that is obviously.
Not been at certain points at least.
Terrific burden -- to this president I should say too many.
Many presidents and politicians truth is not always are calling card yeah.
Report from his own pastor.
The implication is that Barack Obama had changed from somebody he had known in the past.
As what you thought was a special kind of politician.
To a run of the mill politician.
Who will say anything to get elected.
To have you seen any change in mean migration -- in his demeanor is values from the time.
That he's decided to Iran or they've ever parents are running.
-- now.
I think when you know before he decided to run.
He was pretty open about his brother left wing points of view fact.
He was considered to be the most liberal member of the United States senate when he.
Was part of that -- Since he became president he's try to present himself -- the centrist as a moderate.
But in fact his policies have been anything but.
You know if -- you know it's there's so many sound -- here there was -- go through.

In and also.
You're trying to make him a little more comfortable in in being forthcoming as well well I admitted you know I -- kissed up to the Reverend Wright to get him to open up.
And talk but I have to point out that I didn't go as far as Larry King when he had Marlon Brando on this -- on the lips I think given if Reverend Wright a French -- -- there's sighs of relief -- -- -- But let let's listen to the exchange.

Asking to meet him in this secure location.

Comments about Bestar Prestige + Ready to Assemble Pedestal in Bordeaux:
I had many desks before. The biggest problem I always faced was main, top surface bending towards the ground in the middle section because of lack of support through the whole length of the desk. This was also resulting into drawers falling apart (hanging drawers).This one is great !! [...] Very heavy, steady desk, but I was able to assemble it in 15 minutes. It is rock solid, you can jump on the top of it!Make sure you assemble it close to the place where you want to put it, because it is too heavy to move after all.I bought just plain desk. I'm planning to buy pedestal as well (do not buy hanging drawers, it is like asking for trouble). It is little bit pricey comparing to other desks, but trust me, this one is worth every penny if you value solid finish and a lot of working space. I mean it when I say a lot !

University of Massachusetts Amherst: Student Group Charged Unconstitutional Security Fee for Controversial Speaker
The Republican Club at UMass Amherst was pressured to accept $444.52 in extra security fees by the university's police department after it became known that students were planning to protest and disrupt its lecture event featuring conservative columnist Don Feder. Though the Republican Club reluctantly accepted the fees, the speech was nonetheless disrupted by protesters, and Feder was unable to finish his lecture. After pressure from FIRE, including a column in The Boston Globe pointing out that forcing groups to subsidize the activities of their protesters is unconstitutional, the UMass Amherst administration relented and relieved the group of the extra fees, though it deceptively claimed it had originally assessed the extra fees because of a larger expected audience than originally anticipated for Feder's lecture.
- "Victory for First Amendment Rights at UMass Amherst: Administration Rejects Censorship of Newspaper," April 23, 2009: Under pressure from FIRE, University of Massachusetts Amherst has rejected the student government's official censorship of The Minuteman, a conservative campus newspaper that mocked a student government official. In addition, FIRE has learned that UMass Amherst has held accountable at least one of the people who stole copies of The Minuteman out of the hands of a student while a campus police officer watched and did nothing.

- "Under Pressure from FIRE, UMass Amherst Revises 2010's Speech Code of the Year," by William Creeley, February 14, 2011: Under pressure from FIRE, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst has revised its policy governing rallies on campus. In January, FIRE named the policy the 2010 Speech Code of the Year. The policy also helped earn UMass Amherst a spot on FIRE's recent "12 Worst Colleges for Free Speech" feature for The Huffington Post. The policy confined "controversial rallies" to the Student Union steps between noon and 1 p.m., required student groups to register their rally five days in advance, and mandated that members of the group act as security for the event. The revised policy requires registration 24 hours before an event, allows rallies during class hours, and does not require students to serve as security for the rally.

- "FIRE Vice President Pens Op-Ed for 'The Boston Globe': 'Why no one should be silenced on campus'," by Luke Sheahan, April 9, 2009: Today's Boston Globe features an op-ed from FIRE Vice President Robert Shibley on the disruption of Don Feder's speech at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. This incident is indicative of a larger problem on college campuses, where students have begun to resort to disruption and violence to preempt speech with which they disagree. All too often, university policies actually make this "heckler's veto" possible, denying students the opportunity to hear speakers with diverse views. As Robert's column persuasively points out, the real casualty of the heckling 'arms race' fostered by such policies is the possibility of getting a truly liberal education.

The renovations to our Durham office are about to become much more obvious. Next week, the real work begins as we tear out the old and begin incorporating the new. The good news is that our plans allow us to remain open throughout the process. The bad news is that there may be some "unattractive" moments as we transform the space. But, if you use the Durham office, you already know that the size of the office was reduced last spring in anticipation of the renovations. NHFCU has been working with innovative designers to redevelop this space to enhance both the appearance and function. The new design will provide a more appealing and intimate environment for handling your finances with the Credit Union. Expect more privacy and improved service areas that promote one-on-one consultations � the kinds of consultations you want when making financial decisions. We know you will appreciate the changes to come in the long run and hope you will excuse any temporary inconveniences.

Building the ultimate home theater PC has been a challenge for any enthusiast and manufactures, especially with products like the Apple, TV (TM) and the new Logitech Box, and don;t forget the WD TV. Those are just a few devices for audio and video that are out there, but what about gaming? Well there is the PS3. It does a good job as a HTPC because it has Blu-Ray, DVD, Games, Music, Server-ish type stuff and seems like a good choice, right? Well what about those pesky MKV files and that cool logo that says "DTS-HD MSTR." Hmm, not going to get that out of a ps3. What about web browsing? Well it's kinda there. So building the all-in-one solution is a challenge. In this guide, that is what we hope to achieve. This guide is going to give you the know how to build a fully working, and fully digital HTPC and library without every having to put in a dvd or Blu Ray again. Copying these DVDs or blu rays (as far as I am concerned) is legal, only if you own the disc, that doesn't mean borrowing your neighbors or renting from red box/blockbuster/netflix. So with that said. Lets get started. Step 1:The hardware First things first is you need to decide what this machine is going to actually be used for. This can be determined pretty quickly and easily. Think about who is using it and what it will be used for. Take my computer for example. Intel Core i7 930 @ 4Ghz 6gb DDR3 @ 1600 Ati 5850 using HDMI for bitstreaming 500GB hard drive + 750Gb EVGA Micro X58 NZXT Rouge Samsung DVD drive Samsung 650a40 LCD Pioneer Elite TXH-01 I use this for everything. Gaming, surfing the web, ripping and watching movies, and some photo editing. This, for most people, is going to be over kill. The second rig, Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 4gb DDR2 800mhz Ram onboard 9300gt Xonar HDAV (optical Out) 320Gb Hard Drive MSI p7n digital Antec Fusion 430 Case LG HDVD/Blu Ray drive Pioneer VSX-816 Samsung 650A46 The last setup is ideal for most situations. plenty of power without being overkill, but definitely not under kill either. You want to make sure that the video card, your receiver for surround sound (if applicable) and your TV are HDCP compliant. A key feature to almost every home theater are the following: To decode these there are a couple options. The Asus Xonar HDAV slim (Should come with Arcsoft) Asus Xonar deluxe (Should come with Arcsoft) The ATI HD 5 and 6 Series- (Need to purchase Arcsoft) these cards come with the option of bit streaming your sound, meaning your receiving will decode the audio. The above sound card comes equipped with HDMI for Bit streaming your HD audio. These sound card are not necessary if you are going to use two channel or if you use the built in digital optical or digital coaxial out on the backside of your computer. Lets talk about cables for a few minutes. Video Cables Best - HDMI - Best quality with the best sound Better - DVI - same as HDMI without audio, must use another cable for sound. Good - VGA - Analog video, good, but not best, must also use a calbe for your sound. Okay - Component - Don't even try with a home theater computer. Audio Cables Best - HDMI - Carries 7.1 uncompressed audio. Better - Toslink - (AKA Optical) carried 5.1 up to 1.5mb for dts. Good - Coaxial - Same as Toslink (optical) Okay - RCA - Red and white - 2 channel analog audio But for this guide, I am going using the Xonar HDAV Deluxe Step 2: Software The software you use can be different than the software that I am using, for my guide, I used the following, and this is what worked for me. SlySoft Virtual Cone Drive http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html If you rip your movies in ISO format, this will auto mount your ISO. Index and play all your movies from 7MC or VMC. Easiest indexing software I have used. http://www.mymovies.dk/download.aspx/ (download the first one "My Movies for Windows Media Center"). Although this is a 100% free software to do the same as mymovies, I tried it but didn't like it, you on the other hand might have better luck. www.mediabrowser.tv TotalMedia Theatre 3 Platinum The ultimate high-definition movie experience. Supporting Blu Ray, HD-DVD, MKV, Bit Streaming ETC. I strongly suggest this software, it works with all movies I have played uses bitstreaming and does play MKV. AnyDVD HD - Ripping those Blu Rays to your hard drive. Although slysoft is about $150, it's worth it, it is simply the best. http://www.slysoft.com DVDFAB HD will also work if you want to skip anydvdHD http://www.dvdfab.com/blu-ray-copy.htm VLC probably the best free video player. It supports basically everything you can play. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ WIndows Vista or Windows 7 Home Premium or higher Decodes the audio codecs (not needed if you are using the xonar HDAV or the ATI 5XXX) http://www.shark007.net http://www.ac3filter.net/projects/ac3filter After you have bought/downloaded your software, installed all your hardware, your os, and your drivers, let's start installing the rest of your software. MyMovies3 - When prompted install the first option. Standalone if you are using this on your pc only and no server. If you are using this to connect to a server use client) After my movies is completed you will have two new applications. One for 7MC and the other My Moves Collection Manager. This indexes your movies and loads them into 7MC. Step 3: Ripping and importing Lets get started ripping. With AnyDVD HD installed put a Blu Ray or DVD into your drive. Open AnyDVD Ripper and rip your movie to your desired destination (if it is a NAS or a server select that by clicking on the folder, and navigating to that location). Once the rip is complete you will need to close anydvdHD and open up my movies collection manager. Click on File>Import>Folder Content. Browse to the where the dvd/blu-ray was ripped and look in the folder content for the movie you just ripped. My Movies will add the title into the program and look like this. The Yellow circle is for multiple disc (like seasons of shows, multiple discs etc.). Assuming you imported a title with multiple discs the next step you want to take is to click the Discs button (circled in yellow) and then you will have the prompt (on the right side of the picture) pop open, with Disc 1-XX. In this case, Heroes - Season 1 has 7 discs. Click the disc you wish to find. Under "location Type (Side A)", from the drop down select "online folder". It will open the box on the left (like in the picture). Again, browse for the disc content from the dvd you ripped and add select it. If you import a DVD or Blu-Ray and it give you the wrong information there is a option to fix this. Click Title on the top left Change Title Data After there will be 5 tabs. Select your method of serach Search for you movie. When you found it. Select it and hit change After that is complete, open up 7MC and your Media Center should look just like this. Multi Disc Playback and Looks in menu. To change the order they are set in, hit up on your keyboard or up with a remote and it will organize them in many different ways to your liking. Getting DTS-HD and DD + to work Install Shark 007 Windows 7 Codec Pack. This will install all the programs and codecs you need to play DD/+ and DTS/HD audio. Many people are against codec packs. This is understandable but, I tried with several others, k-lite, cccp and trying just the AC3 Filter and FFDshow, they didn't work. Shark007 Codec Pack for Windows 7 had everything i needed to get this working. Mine is configured like this and it plays all audio files in 7MC Step 3b: Alternate ripping If you do not want to rip the entire 45gb blu ray, there is another solution to this without loosing the quaility, or the audio. Using roughly the same method as before you will use DVDFAB HD to rip only the movie portion of this disc. Open up DVDFAB HD and select DVD Copy movie only, you have the choice of stripping the blu ray audio. THis will apply to DVD as well, select Copy DVD and main title only. I am not 100% sure what format it puts it in, I would assume m2ts or MKV files. After it is done with the rip, follow the steps from 3A for importing the files. To have My Movies automatically open these files with another player open of My moives, select tools, and then options. Click on external players, and then for "Other Files" select the drop down and select VLC. Now, every movie without a ISO,IMG,VOB, or M2TS is going to open with VLC. ***Optional*** Running either a NAS with raid options or a server (Server 2003, 2008, or WHS) Raid is recommended but it is not a backup system encase of failure. Raid 5 is Striped set with distributed parity or interleave parity requiring 3 or more disks. Distributed parity requires all drives but one to be present to operate; drive failure requires replacement, but the array is not destroyed by a single drive failure. Upon drive failure, any subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity such that the drive failure is masked from the end user. The array will have data loss in the event of a second drive failure and is vulnerable until the data that was on the failed drive is rebuilt onto a replacement drive. A single drive failure in the set will result in reduced performance of the entire set until the failed drive has been replaced and rebuilt.

Ah, just when I thought I was happy with my HTPC, you have shown me what needs to be done to bring it up to spec. Great write up!!!
It is a great program. Been looking for this for a long time. I accidentally found this on Toms Hardware so i thought i would contribute to the forum. The hardest part was getting codecs and 5.1 working since 7MC wouldn't work correctly with the speaker setup
not a bad way to build an htpc. i prefer using the ps3 tho and just streaming all my media from my pc. no lag on a 8 gig x264 1080p bluray rip.
I tried the ps3 for all that. Wireless just wouldn't work. We had no option for wired at the time so that was out. Now, we wired our house had already sold the ps3 and did this. good options though.
oh man. yea when i first had the ps3 hooked up it was wireless and i couldnt do anything higher than 10mbit rate. now that it is wired it rocks. obviously from a tech enthusiast standpoint it is a lot more fun to put together a machine.
I can't wait to build me my HTPC I have saved! Just need the money! More or less just after christmas!
Indeed it is Well follow my guide when you build it and if you run into anything let me know. I wanna make this perfect.
good thread. check the DXVA link in my sig if people want instructions on how to setup an alternate player to WMP
Can i get the title changed? Ultimate Home Theater PC Guide What does that do ? just lower cpu usage? or increase quality?
I do have my HTPC basic rig you will tell me but thats enough. Look at my system specs and i added an old 70's amps for home audio system with 2 X 100 watts tall boxes containing 10 inches sub, 1 medium and one tweeter each. Plus 2 Sony 40watts boxes. That rock the place enough to shake the windows...i like to crank up the volume whern i play at Battlefield 2 firing heavy hell machine guns
I'm trying to find the best software for audio.. trying to get things balanced and there is always soemthing that just isnt right. currently just using the dfx plugin and wpm, any suggestions?
i've never encountered any microstutter, so it might. hardware acceleration of your video. 99% of the time people who claim they have hardware acceleration, dont.
forgive me for being an idiot here, so for my nVidia all i need to do is download coreavc? Im afraid to use CCCp because i finally got my audio working with Sharky007
if you install coreAVC and set it up to use hardware acceleration, you merely need to set your players up to default to it (it has a tickbox in its config that should work for WMP)
QUESTION: What do you thinlk about Cyberlink Power DVD for an HTPC ? I have no real problems up to now but the trial version only. I want to buy it for my HTPC that will use the Blu-ray and TV-card.
Personally i didn't like it, i have used, 7, 8, and 9. Also, i do not belive any of the sound cards from asus will bitstream with power dvd. I find arcsoft just better in general
i dont know if you want to mention this but with that powerful of an htpc there is no need to turn bitstreaming on. as long as there is hdmi and a powerful processor you dont have to encode the signal at all, just use pcm to get it from the htpc to the tv/receiver/whatever. bitstreaming is only necessary when you have a lower power rig and no hdmi cable because the cpu cant process the information fast enough and the optical cable or rca cables didnt have the capacity to carry it. so it is preferred if given the option to turn off bitstreaming as the crazy A/V enthusiasts insist for the sake of purity to use pcm instead.

I used to LOVE the dish liquid when it was just lavender. Other dish liquids claim to be lavender, but this one was the real thing. It smelled like real lavender, and it obviously had the lavender essential oil in it, because my scrubbies never got funky! Lavender is antibacterial and anti-fungal, and that was also great.
Then it became lavender and mint. I was not thrilled with the addition of mint-- it smelled like toothpaste, but the lavender was still there and I love the scent of lavender, and my scrubbies still stayed fresh.
Now it's lavender floral and mint. BOO!!! The lavender is almost undetectable, and I have to think it's to save money. The scent, while fairly pleasant, used to be heavenly. Another product ruined just to save a few cents.
I imagine you tested it before changing it. I'll bet you tested it against the previous version, and not the original pure lavender one.
There's no reason for me to buy your product any more. I'm going in search of a real lavender dish detergent. I'll make it myself if I have to.
I wish I had known this would happen-- I would have stockpiled it.
I was looking for safe product, since I am severely allergic to glutenous products, also corn.. unfortunately Seventh generation is not clear about where the chemicals are derived from and if they are gluten free..
this soap made me quite sick..
I wish the labeling would be clear for us with allergies..
not all people are allergic, but many people are celiac and gluten sensitive today, deserving clear info and not to get sick..
if u make a product, u must take responsibility for human health by labeling CLEARLY..
if it is not gluten free, please STATE it!!
the word hypoallergenic is too broad and says nothing clearly
Lemongrass & Clementine Zest - my favorite.....the citrus combination is great for anything greasy! My hands don't get chapped and dried out from this dish soap!
Why do you have the toxic ingredient sodium laurel sulfate as your second ingredient
Love this product! The scent of the Lavender Mint is perfect--enough to freshen up a kitchen but not overpowering at all. We also add a quick squeeze to our water/vinegar cleaner with a couple drops of peppermint oil. Awesome all purpose cleaner!

My Profile
Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch & Fats Kaplin
Best known as one half of the acclaimed new traditionalist country duo the O'Kanes, singer/songwriter Kieran Kane was born in Queens, NY, on October 7, 1949; by age nine, he was drumming in his older brother's rock band, while in his teens he turned his focus to bluegrass and folk, performing at festivals throughout the Northeast. At 21, Kane relocated to Los Angeles, where he labored as a songwriter and session guitarist; by the late '70s he had moved on to Nashville, where he landed a writing contract with Tree Publishing Co. A deal with Elektra followed, but despite notching a pair of Top Ten country singles -- "You're the Best" and "It's Who You Love" -- he found himself at odds with the label and soon returned to composing. Teaming with fellow Tree staff writer Jamie O'Hara, he formed the O'Kanes in 1985, issuing three hit albums and scoring a half-dozen Top Ten singles before disbanding four years later. Kane resurfaced with a more austere, folk-influenced sound in 1993 with the solo effort Find My Way Home, issued on Atlantic; soon after he formed the Nashville-based indie label Dead Reckoning with fellow singer/songwriters Kevin Welch, Tammy Rogers, and Harry Stinson, issuing the album Dead Rekoning in 1995. Six Months, No Sun followed in 1998, and Blue Chair was issued in fall 2000. In 2002 Kane released the primarily acoustic Shadows on the Ground, a pared-down collection of plaintive, powerful, and heartbreaking songs dedicated to his son Lucas, who had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. You Can't Save Everybody (2004), Lost John Dean (2006), and Kane Welch Kaplin (2007) found Kane collaborating with Nashville crooner Kevin Welch and multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin on a series of spare, moody originals and covers, while 2009's Somewhere Beyond the Roses was backed by a bass-less quartet held down by Lambchop's Deanna Varagona. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Microsoft Surface Pro drops February 9 for $899
Microsoft has finally announced a launch date for its Surface Pro tablet: you'll be able to pick one up on February 9th. Yes, the device missed the promised January release timeframe, but we're talking 9 days here. That date, by the way, only pertains to the US and Canada, with international markets to follow in "the coming weeks and months" according to the company.
Surface Pro will be the first Microsoft tablet to run the full version of Windows 8, as opposed to the stripped down Windows RT. This means that you'll be able to install and run regular desktop applications on the tablet. It's a half pound heavier than Surface with Windows RT, but also brings a 1080p display and digitizer pen support. Oh, and a much higher price tag. Surface Pro will start at $899 for the 64GB model, and $999 for the 128GB version.
Be sure to check out our Surface RT review, Surface Touch Cover review, and Surface Type Cover review!

Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:
I wanted to follow-up on my Aug 25, 2009 review.
Unfortunately, I rushed into work on a Monday morning, forgot my Sky Box was on top, and destroyed it by driving into a low-clearance garage.
I purchased a new Sky Box Pro 21 in 2012. The new box has some small improvements over the model I purchased in 2009. I noticed immediately that the lid is stiffer. The 2009 lid was fine, but the new lid feels more solid. The closure struts are new. They were formerly plastic hinges which had some play in them, and I could envision where they might bend or break if I improperly packed something too close. The new struts are metal pistons and akin to automobile liftgate supports. This probably contributes to the solid feel of the lid upon opening and closing too. You still must keep the key in the locking core while the box is open, but at least they have a prominent sticker on the box (which is removable) that tells you this. No other changes that I can discren. Still a great box, although I still wish you could remove the key, and that the lid would open a little wider. Also, looks like an expensive box got even more expensive.
By the way, read-on if you want to know what happens when you drive into a low-clearance garage with a box on top. The box cover was not too stiff and it essentially got sheared off/torn. It was like driving into a garage with a very stiff cardboard box affixed to your roof. Whether by design or by luck, because the lid was not too strong, it took the brunt of the damage. The lower tub portion was undamaged. If the lid were stronger, it might have stayed intact and ripped the factory rack off my Ford Expedition. As it was, one of the factory cross bars was ripped-out while the other was simply shoved back in its track. So, in addition to replacing my Sky Box, I also had to replace a factory cross bar. However, that was cheaper than replacing the factory rack, so I count myself somewhat lucky in the face of my massive stupidity.

Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:
I ordered this for a 2008 Yukon XL Denali with the factory flushmount side rails and cross-bars. I did fit the box on those rails, but preferred to utilize the Yakima RailGrabbers and round crossbars I already had, it felt sturdier to me than the GMC factory rails.
This box is amazing - it swallows all the gear I had planned on and more!! It was simple to install alone (although heavy and awkward), getting it locked on within 10 minutes at most.
The box rides well on the truck, you hardly know it's there. By looking through the sunroof I can see that empty it bounces some while driving (expected), but when fully loaded I noticed zero movement at highway speeds.
The included cargo mat and bungee are a great touch. Comes with matching lock cores and 2 keys, but of course can be swapped out to match the cores on your other Yakima gear.
Great product, I am looking forward to using it for a long time.

Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:
This is a spacious, very easy to install, well-designed rooftop cargo box. It is highly aerodynamic and produces no "wind noise" on the interstate. I have it atop our Suburban and it has negligible effect on the vehicle's driving only noticing it during severe cross wind. The latches that hold the box closed were "sticky" at first but they seem to be unlatching more freely as the box has gotten more use. A wider box this length would be ideal.
Best Uses
Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:
Although a long wait time (20 min+) the Yakima customer rep knew about the problem and offered to send a replacement part free of charge. He didn't even want the faulty part shipped back. I received the part in four days.So, I had a faulty constructed part but it was quickly replaced at no charge. I've owned my box for a little over two years.Yakima's love it as long as you own it appears to be a truthful statement.
Best Uses
Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:
Two years to the date of purchase and only on three trips the aft spring arm that keeps the lid open failed. This box has stayed in a enclosed garage and used only on three trips in two years.
Will keep everyone updated on Yakima's product coverage. This part should not have failed even under many uses never mind only three.
As of right now I say do not buy. Plus, do not rely on Yakima's online access to fit your vehicle. REI stores have more up to date info on what your vehicle rack can support. I don't trust Yakima.

Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:
We purchased the new SkyBox Pro 21 in Mar '09. It is the best cargo box we have owned and is outstanding in every respect. Three keys to this cargo box that make it stand out: (1)excellent latch/lock system, (2)ease of installation with quick clamps and (3)durablility. We use it primarily for skiing and have travelled from the Midwest to the West on two occassions with the SkyBox Pro 21. It is aerodynamic and we noticed very little wind noise. Highly recommend.

Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:
We had a 16 ft3 Yakima Rocket Box that was stuffed full on camping trips, and hoped the 21 ft3 Sky Box Pro would make packing easier. Well, I've noticed little difference and had to get a tape measure to make sure we actually got the right box. Perhaps I need to pack more efficiently, or maybe Yakima was a little optimistic on their volume specification. If you're upgrading from a smaller box, measure your current box and compare carefully to the Sky Box Pro so you know exactly how the extra cubic inches are distributed.
The new clamp mechanism is great. It is very easy to attach this box to my factory cross bars, and I no longer need to insert screws from underneath the box while reaching inside the box to secure them...which was painstaking. I also like being able to open the box from either the right or left side, although I don't think the box opens quite as wide as my Rocket Box.
The one-handed closure is convenient, but there's room for improvement. A good amount of force is needed to release the closure. Anyone can do it, but sometimes you wonder if the closure is locked, or if you simply must apply more force. One of the two closures on my box failed so REI is replacing the box. Hopefully, this is an isolated problem.
I also find that it is nearly impossible, or at least, very difficult, to remove the key from the locking core unless the box is locked. This is inconvenient because you don't want your key (or keyring) dangling from the lock whenever the unit is unlocked. I wish you could remove your key, regardless of whether the box is locked or unlocked.
The Sky Box Pro is noticeably more aerodynamic than the Rocket Box. With the Rocket Box, I could "feel" that the box was attached to the vehicle when driving on the highway. However, with the Sky Box Pro attached, it feels the same as if the box is not on the vehicle.
The finish of the Sky Box Pro is smooth and not textured. While the improved aerodynamics do not reduce the number of smashed bugs that cover the face of the box, it does it make it much easier to clean them off without any residue.

Children up to 9 years free of charge
Gstaad is kind to the family budget. Children up to 9 years are entitled to free travel on all the region's mountain railways and cable cars. In many hotels, their accommodation is free and some sport shops have special offer for children up to 9 years. This attractive offer is unique anywhere in the Bernese Oberland.
The offer is valid in winter 2013/14 for children up to 9 years (year of birth 2005 or later).
Mountain railways and cable-car offer
In the region of Gstaad Mountain Rides, between Zweisimmen and Glacier 3000, children up to 9 years enjoy skiing for free. Example: In the popular ski area of Saanenmöser, Hornberg / Saanersloch and Rinderberg above Zweisimmen, a couple and their children up to 9 years pay CHF 124.00 (EUR 103.00*) for one day up the mountain. The same family enjoys 5 days skiing for CHF 560.00 (EUR 465.00*). Even if the children wish to go sledding or walking down the mountain, they don't have to pay for the cable car ride. In addition to that, they've a free access to the children's paradise. All they need is a free ski pass, which they can get at the cable car stations. The children's paradise is not supervised and the parents do have the full responsibility of their children.

Yvonne Elliman
Yvonne Elliman had a brief moment in the spotlight during the middle of the '70s, yet she appeared on many of the decade's biggest hits as a backing singer. While she was in high school in Hawaii, Elliman sang in a group called We Folk. She moved to London in 1969 and began singing at the Pheasantry folk club, located on Kings Road in Chelsea. It was here that songwriters Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice discovered her. The duo offered her the role of Mary Magdalene in their new rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar; the role brought her instant fame. Elliman played the Magdalene character in the film version of Superstar, for which she won a Golden Globe award; it also gave her a hit with "I Don't Know How to Love Him." The hit single became the title of her debut album, which was released in 1972. Pete Townshend helped Elliman prepare her second album, 1973's Food of Love. During this time, she appeared in the American production of Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway, where she met Bill Oakes, the president of RSO Records; the two married soon afterward. Oakes introduced her to Eric Clapton, inviting her to sing backup vocals on "I Shot the Sheriff." Elliman became part of the guitarist's band afterward; she stayed with him for five years.

Workforce assesses the number of psychiatrists working in the UK in order to aid the implementation of more flexible workforce planning and practice.
Here are a selection of documents which include guidance, plans and a census:
These policies set out to ensure the safety and well-being of staff, the volunteer and service users in line with best practice and the need to protect potentially vulnerable people of all ages, and is written in relation to voluntary work and work experience undertaken at a number of premises in the Trust.
The Joint Guidance on the Employment of Consultant Psychiatrists has been revised and this document replaces the one produced in 2005. It omits all reference to prescribed numbers of consultant psychiatrists as it highlights the importance of assessing the need for the post in the context of the multi disciplinary team and the value of job planning. Furthermore, the new version includes an example job description and person specification for ease of local implementation.
Responsibility and Accountability: Moving on for New Ways of Working to a Creative, Capable Workforce is intended for practical use by multi disciplinary teams in decision making by clarifying for all professions where their responsibilites and accountabilities lie.
