Love them!!
By Mandi
from Thornhill, Ontario
I have a heel spur and I have been hobbling around without sturdy slippers until I purchased these fantastic orthaheel slippers! Anyone who has problems with their heels or feet, should try these slippers. They do the job I have been looking for!
By Shopper

These slippers are the best. So comfortable and sturdy enough for outdoors.
Best slippers ever
By Sheila
from Calgary
I bought these slippers in the black with grey trim and just love them. I wear my slippers all day in the house and my feet generally ache. Since I have been wearing these slippers I haven't had any pain in my feet. They are also very warm which is great on hardwood floors and they don't slip so are safe as well.
So Great!
By Karen
from Alberta
I almost didn't buy these. I have a wide foot with a high instep and seldom have good luck if I don't try before I buy - but - I took a chance, and these slippers are soooooo great. I normally wear a size 8 to 8.5 but I decided to get a 9 with the hope of wearing some wooly socks in them on colder days. That was the perfect call. They couldn't fit any better. They're cushy and comfy, the sole moulding fits perfectly, the width is fine and they will be great on our hardwood floors. These slippers were truly an awesome buy!

from ALBERTA
I love these slippers from orthaheel!! My plantar fasciitus has been bothering me for months! The only thing that helps this pain is my custom orthotics. Its so nice to be able the wear slippers that are so comfortable and take this pain away!! I've got another pair of orthaheel slippers that do not give me the relief like these slippers do!! My old slippers have great support but are made of a slippery material and they are open toed so my foot is always falling off the sole. These Laura slippers are so supportive, secure and comfy. They let me go on with my daily routine and chores pain free!! Love 'em!!
Really Comfortable
By Townie Girl
from Nova Scotia
I got a regular pair of mule slippers for myself and then saw these the next night. When they arrived, I tried on both and there is no comparison. The regular slipper left me flat-footed, while the Orthoheel just felt perfect on my feet. Also, I could really feel the difference in my hips. Now I have to wait until Christmas Day to wear them.

Love these!
By cmg
from Surrey (BC)
These feel great! I have hardwood floors and was looking for something to keep my feet warm and provide support --- and these do the job perfectly. I have the brown/blue ones, and think they are so cute.In the description of the slipper it said to size down if you are a half size. I was a bit nervous to do that, but I'm glad I did. I'm normally a 9.5, never a 9... but the 9 fits great in these slippers.These are very (very very) warm, so that's something to be aware of. That's the reason I put this as 4 (and not 5) stars. You either like warm feet or you don't. I personally wear these slippers to walk around, but take them off when I'm sitting on the couch, for example.
Awesome Slippers
By Joy
LOVE Orthaheel! I have an old pair of slippers that are about 5 years old and so I decided it was time for new ones. These are very cute and "oh so comfortable". I'm sure I will wear this pair out, like I did the first ones. This is one of my favorite lines at TSC, paired with my other favorite line (at TSC as well), they are the only shoes I wear. Thanks Orthaheel, from slippers to running shoes, you produce an outstanding product!!
By LG
from toronto
ordered as a showstopper and can hardly bear to take them off they are so warm and comfortable!!! I ordered my regular size 7 and the fit was exact. sometimes I need to go up .5 so I took the advice of the expert and ordered down. They are wide looking but I love, love them. The orthotic insole is perfect. even though they are a slip on they do not flip and handle stairs with ease. secure on your foot. My best pair of slippers by far!!!
Absolutely terrific!
By shihtzu lover
from Port Hope
I ordered these last week, when they were the Show Stopper. I was a bit hesitant, as ordering footwear online can be challenging.I ordered my size, which is a 10, and they are so comfy!!! I have a narrow foot but these are simply terrific. They do fit true to size. They are also nice and feminine and you'd never know they have built in orthotics!They are soft and cozy, yet the sole is durable and I could easily take the garbage out or hang clothes on the line while wearing them. Even drive the car if I so desired!I wish I'd ordered a second pair, had I known how good they would feel.

Bought this skirt in a size 2. I usually wear a 0. I am 5'2" 105lbs and it fits perfectly! It looks amazing on, especially with a solid silk shirt tucked it (it's high waisted).

Mad Hatter
It's life in the fast lane for Ruthie Davis. The designer was out with a Bravo TV crew last week at the premiere party for the network's "Mad Fashion" show, starring "Project Runway" alum Chris March. In between mingling with Bravo EVP Andy Cohen, Davis showed off her 6-inch runway heels (a Dennis Basso collaboration) and gave Spy hints about her outfit for the debut episode on Oct. 4, in which she flaunts a design by March. "He has me wearing shoes in a whole new way," she said. "It's like my fantasy outfit — a 'James Bond' girl." And Davis enjoyed her TV experience so much, she has signed a contract with the "Mad Fashion" producers for her own show. "It's a day in the life — designing shoes and dressing celebrity clients," she said.
Catching Castillo
Edmundo Castillo is everywhere these days, and now he'll add Via Spiga to the list. Spy caught up with the designer in Milan at the Santoni presentation, and while he was tight-lipped about his new appointment as creative director of the Brown Shoe Co. brand, he said, "I'm passionate about shoes and I'm trying to make beautiful things that women want to have." The Puerto Rico-born designer again lent his creative expertise to Santoni's spring '12 line, which was inspired by the geometric design and rebellious excesses of the 1960s and '70s. "I see so many crazy, beautiful shoes that look like amazing pieces of art, but I don't see them on women," said Castillo. "I am about the shoe that you love and wear forever." Next up: Castillo, who also works with Castañer in Spain, is off to Paris to show his own collection.
Family Ties
Scott Savitz could be making a comeback soon. The former Shoebuy.com CEO, who abruptly stepped down in June, will speak at the Two Ten Leadership Forum later this month, but may also have another move up his sleeve. "I won't be retired forever," said Savitz. "But I'm not making any statements [yet]." Although Savitz remained mum on his next gig, he was very open about his time post-Shoebuy. "Retired life is not so terrible after all," he said, recalling a summer stay in Nantucket, Mass., and a family trip to France as standouts. And Savitz even added a dog to the family during his much-needed downtime. "With the Internet [business], they say if you [work] 12 years it's like 120 years," he joked.
Dancing Shoes
Apparel just isn't enough for Carson Kressley anymore. The television personality, who designs a clothing line for QVC, is now putting his stamp on footwear. Kressley joined the Shoedazzle.com guest designer list, alongside Kristin Cavallari and Mel B, with his menswear-inspired spectator pump (below), the first shoe under his name. The style is part of the site's charity program, and all the profits will benefit the Al D. Rodriguez Liver Foundation. As ShoeDazzle's first male designer, Kressley said the partnership definitely piqued his interest in shoes. "I really did like the taste of it. I felt a little like Brian Atwood, except not as good-looking," he quipped. Kressley also is learning about styles used to cut loose on "Dancing with the Stars," where his footwear is often customized. "I've never [worn] so many sparkly shoes," he said.

At least that is what I think it is named. First, let me thank everyone for this great forum. I have gained many ideas and have answered many of my questions from reading your execllent posts.
Please bear with me as I direct you to view what I am trying to obtain or better yet - build myself.
On the Wooden Boat main page: click on "Free Issue - Click" Once this page opens, click on "Pages" (top of the menu bar). Once the rows and columns of thumbnails appears, please locate: Five rows from the bottom, and three rows from the left, Under the heading "Boatbulders" there is an advertisement for "jlyachting.com"
The tender in the left panel has what I am referring to as the "rope gunwale guard". Please correct my naming of this as I can't find any source of this type of rope guard.
The main questions: what is the correct name, and how to obtain. Or better yet: location of instructions to build for myself.
I sincerely appreciate your assistance in helping me with my request.

First.... Thanks to the AP team for continuing this project and working to once again provide all of us with a viable offline updating mechanism. Keep up the good work!
Second... Most of the threads here have to do with AutoPatcher failing to launch or complete the downloading process from the MS servers. On the first 2-3 attempts at running APUP, I had similar difficulties but eventually the downloading process completed. IMHO, the downloading process is complicated by the MS servers re-directing amongst themselves, this possibly due to demand on any particular server at any given time, or possibly the location of requested updates changing on the MS side of the process. I doubt that there is anything that can be done on the local/client side to control what MS is doing with their update/download servers. APUP is therefore probably always going to have some element of "hit and miss" as far as successful request-download-verify of all the updates it seeks. Patience is a virtue and frankly, even when manually d/l IT versions of MS updates from their download servers, it's not a 100% perfect process. Much has to do with the fact that MS servers will respond best to requests coming from clients with better/hi speed connections, and dump those that are slow/intermittent. Nothing AP can do about this. Again, good things come to those with good connections and run APUP at times where there is low demand on MS download servers.
Third.... And this is the issue / topic of this thread. I was able to run APUP in a new directory all of it's own (independent of any previous AP installs [old AP]) and after a few times of getting bounced/hung by the MS servers (watched IP request/responses realtime) during the d/l process, APUP completed the downloads. However, I was given the warning that "SOME FILES FAILED VERIFICATION" and the option to proceed at my own risk. I've browsed the folders ..\APUP and all subfolders and everything appears to be in place as far as structure and content. As far as I can tell, all the components / modules / etc. look fine and ready to deploy. So now at long last I'll ask my two questions.....
A. Is the failed verification warning just a error trapping message that indicates the D/L process was interupted at some point and the downloaded files themselves are fine and ready to use?
B. If the downloaded files are in fact corrupted (failed checksum or md5 values or ???) how can one determine which of the updates/modules has failed the verification process. I looked everywhere for a log file or some other history to indicate which of the files fail verification but was unable to find the information.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!!!!!

pretty easy. just run like this: apup /log
a log will be generated. then, you just need search for "failed", "missing", "queue" to find each failed download

While we do focus on our computers a lot, most of us have something to remind us how much we love our technology while on the road: a cell phone. And this cell phone is turning into quite the issue. Driving distractions aside, cell phones do add one very negative effect to society: a huge pile of toxic waste. When people upgrade to the latest phone, they frequently throw away their old one. And these old cell phones contain such nasty chemicals as copper, nickel, antimony, and zinc. As time moves on, and phones decompose, the phone turns into a pile of toxic, hazardous mush. And when 700 million tiny piles of toxic mush make their way to the landfill, at an increasing rate of 130 million phones a year, we get several thousand pounds of toxic mush lying around in landfills everywhere. We really ought to find a better way to dispose of cell phones. Source: Nordic Hardware
Yeah, I always see mobile phone recycling bins, but there are never any in there for me to ni..... I mean to see
I dont think Copper and Zinc are very toxic, in fact I work around it alot. Now Nickel, the dust or shavings from that, are known to cause cancer (I work in GE Plastics and make the film that makes LCD tvs and notebooks and computer monitors and we do electroform nickel cobalt plating). Antimony, Im not sure what that is...so I cant comment. But Copper and Zinc arent that bad really. Im more worried about the Lead and perhaps mercury in some of these phones.
They should just stop making 20 new models every week! How many choices do you really need. Make one cheap, one cool for teens, one with big fonts for eldery, one business model and one with all the latest useless stuff you can brag about. Now update every model twice a year and that's surely enough phones for everyone to pick. Must be my fourth year with Nokia 6100, small, superlight, has all I need and still with orginal battery. Now I can brag about being enviroment friendly for not upgrading my phone (well take that back with computer upgrades ).
That's like telling Intel or AMD to stop bringing out new processor models. It's their business/industry; the only way to counter the environmental impact is to aggressivly promote the recycling of old cell phones and/or other electronics.
Who cares about camera phones. A phone is a phone, you make calls with it. Get a phone, make calls from it, job done. No need to upgrade it. If you want pictures, buy a camera. And the same applies for other features. Personally I don't own a mobile phone at all and I'm doing just fine.

(WAVE) Shocking dashcam footage shows the rescue of a kidnapped convenience store clerk found in the trunk of a car.
Joseph Davis, Brittany Elder and Trent Blye all have different versions of what happened August 4, 2012 when they were pulled over in Louisville, Kentucky.
Louisville Metro Police Officer Fred Wilson said he flagged the car for an expired plate. However, when a second officer showed up to help with the traffic stop, he heard Sean Bloemer, 22, in the trunk.
Police said he was taken from his job as a clerk at a Circle K.
Blye, Davis and Elder were inside the car and arrested at the scene.
They are charged with wanton endangerment, complicity to kidnapping and robbery.

Research has played an important role in protecting the last little penguin population on Phillip Island.
Little penguin research on Phillip Island has been ongoing for over 40 years – one of the longest continuous seabird studies in the world. Our penguin research projects include studies on land and at sea.
Research at sea
Satellite and GPS tracking
A challenge for little penguin conservation and management is to understand where penguins spend most of their time – the sea – and potential threats in the ocean environment.
During the summer of 2009/10, Phillip Island Nature Parks' researchers tracked little penguins to find out where they were going fishing. The satellite tracking showed that most of Phillip Island's little penguins fed within 50 kilometres of the Phillip Island colony. Some penguins over winter have been tracked heading west towards Portland in Victoria or into Port Phillip Bay near Melbourne city.
Diving and foraging behavior
Little penguins researchers use electronic time depth recorders to measure the dives of little penguins. The use of time depth recorders has uncovered important information such as the number, depth and duration of dives, and if the penguin found food.
- Little penguins usually dive between 200 and 1,300 times per day in search of prey.
- Longest dive by a little penguin – 1 minute 56 seconds
- Deepest dive by a little penguin ever recorded – 72 metres
- The average dive of a little penguin lasts 25 seconds.
Research on land
Land threats
By the 1980s nine of Phillip Island's ten penguin colonies had become extinct.
Population studies of Phillip Island's little penguins in the 1980s showed that land based threats such as habitat destruction from housing development, traffic through the penguin colony at night, fire and domestic pets were having a significant impact on Phillip Island's last remaining penguin colony. Predictions from the impact of such threats suggested the Penguin Parade would be wiped out by the late 1990s.
In response to the research, the Penguin Protection Program was initiated and the Victorian State Government began buying back homes in the Summerland Estate, located in Phillip Island's last remaining penguin colony on the Summerland Peninsula.
The extensive conservation work undertaken since the 1980s has resulted in an increase in little penguin numbers from 12,000 in the mid 1980s to an estimated 32,000 in the present day.
Research into little penguin threats continues, including investigating the threat of pests such as foxes and the impacts of climate change.
Population counts
Every night at the Penguin Parade rangers count the number of little penguins crossing the beach. The average number of beach crossings per year at the Penguin Parade can then be calculated, providing an insight into potential changes in population numbers.
Breeding success
The breeding success of Phillip Island's little penguins is monitored at study sites across the colony. The average number of chicks fledged per breeding pair is estimated each year.

My plane is severely limited in cargo volume (not so much weight) and as a result, I try to brings things that can serve several purposes. Here's some of my multipurpose tools.
Similar to other posts on the preheater thread, I'm using an aluminum dryer vent to get heat into my engine. The difference is that it is also my cook stove. The MSR firefly is a light weight stove that is great for cooking and can get the engine warm in about a half hour when the temps are around 15-25 F. If it's colder than that I'm gonna stay in the sack.
Another multiuse device is my surplus shovel. I sharpened one side so it can be used for a half-assed axe. I wouldn't want to chop trees down with it, but I can easily cut brances for a fire or tent poles. I lengthened the handle so it can also be used to support the plane while fixing flat tires. To do this I use a wire run through a hole drilled in the end of the handle to loosely hold the shovel in place.
Then I lift at the strut attach points to lift the plane high enough that the shovel swings under the gear leg and is in place to support the plane.
With the shovel tightened at 90 degrees, it will support my wee little plane even on soft ground.
I'd like to hear about more home grown multipurpose equipment.

Rule 8.916. Statement on appeal
(a) Description
A statement on appeal is a summary of the trial court proceedings that is approved by the trial court.
(b) Preparing the proposed statement
(1)If the appellant elects under rule 8.915 to use a statement on appeal, the appellant must prepare and file a proposed statement within 20 days after filing the record preparation election. If the defendant is the appellant and the prosecuting attorney appeared in the case, the defendant must serve a copy of the proposed statement on the prosecuting attorney. If the People are the appellant, the prosecuting attorney must serve a copy of the proposed statement on the respondent.
(2)Appellants who are not represented by an attorney must file their proposed statements on Proposed Statement on Appeal (Infraction) (form CR-143). For good cause, the court may permit the filing of a statement that is not on form CR-143.
(3)If the appellant does not file a proposed statement within the time specified in (1), the trial court clerk must promptly notify the appellant by mail that the proposed statement must be filed within 15 days after the notice is mailed and that failure to comply will result in the appeal being dismissed.
(c) Contents of the proposed statement on appeal
A proposed statement prepared by the appellant must contain:
(1)A condensed narrative of the oral proceedings that the appellant believes necessary for the appeal and a summary of the trial court's holding and the sentence imposed on the defendant. Subject to the court's approval, the appellant may present some or all of the evidence by question and answer; and
(2)A statement of the points the appellant is raising on appeal. The appeal is then limited to those points unless the appellate division determines that the record permits the full consideration of another point.
(A)The statement must specify the intended grounds of appeal by clearly stating each point to be raised but need not identify each particular ruling or matter to be challenged.
(B)The statement must include as much of the evidence or proceeding as necessary to support the stated grounds. Any evidence or portion of a proceeding not included will be presumed to support the judgment or order appealed from.
(C)If one of the grounds of appeal is insufficiency of the evidence, the statement must specify how it is insufficient.
(Subd (c) amended effective July 1, 2009.)
(d) Review of the appellant's proposed statement
(1)Within 10 days after the appellant files the proposed statement, the respondent may serve and file proposed amendments to that statement.
(2)No later than 10 days after the respondent files proposed amendments or the time to do so expires, a party may request a hearing to review and correct the proposed statement. No hearing will be held unless ordered by the trial court judge, and the judge will not ordinarily order a hearing unless there is a factual dispute about a material aspect of the trial court proceedings.
(3)If a hearing is ordered, the court must promptly set the hearing date and provide the parties with at least 5 days' written notice of the hearing date.
(4)Except as provided in (6), if no hearing is ordered, no later than 10 days after the time for requesting a hearing expires, the trial court judge must review the proposed statement and any proposed amendments and make any corrections or modifications to the statement necessary to ensure that it is an accurate summary of the trial court proceedings. If a hearing is ordered, the trial court judge must make any corrections or modifications to the statement within 10 days after the hearing.
(5)The trial court judge must not eliminate the appellant's specification of grounds of appeal from the proposed statement.
(6)If the trial court proceedings were reported by a court reporter or officially recorded electronically under Government Code section 69957 and the trial court judge determines that it would save court time and resources, instead of correcting a proposed statement on appeal:
(A)If the court has a local rule for the appellate division permitting the use of an official electronic recording as the record of the oral proceedings, the trial court judge may order that the original of an official electronic recording of the trial court proceedings, or a copy made by the court, be transmitted as the record of these oral proceedings without being transcribed. The court will pay for any copy of the official electronic recording ordered under this subdivision; or
(B)Unless the court has a local rule providing otherwise, the trial court judge may order that a transcript be prepared as the record of the oral proceedings. The court will pay for any transcript ordered under this subdivision.
(e) Review of the corrected statement
(1)If the trial court judge makes any corrections or modifications to the statement under (d), the clerk must send copies of the corrected or modified statement to the parties. If the prosecuting attorney did not appear at the trial, the clerk will not send a copy of the statement to the prosecuting attorney.
(2)Within 10 days after the statement is sent to the parties, any party may serve and file proposed modifications or objections to the statement.
(f) Certification of the statement on appeal
(1)If the trial court judge does not make any corrections or modifications to the proposed statement under (d)(4) and does not direct the preparation of a transcript in lieu of correcting the proposed statement under (d)(6), the judge must promptly certify the statement.
(2)If the trial court judge corrects or modifies an appellant's proposed statement under (d), within five days after the time for filing proposed modifications or objections under (e) has expired, the judge must review any proposed modifications or objections to the statement filed by the parties, make any corrections or modifications to the statement necessary to ensure that it is an accurate summary of the trial court proceedings, and certify the statement.
(g) Extensions of time
For good cause, the trial court may grant an extension of not more than 15 days to do any act required or permitted under this rule.
Rule 8.916 amended effective July 1, 2009; adopted effective January 1, 2009.
Advisory Committee Comment
Rules 8.806, 8.810, and 8.812 address applications for extensions of time and relief from default.
Subdivision (b). Proposed Statement on Appeal (Infraction) (form CR-143) is available at any courthouse or county law library or online at www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms.
Subdivision (d). Under rule 8.804, the term "judge" includes a commissioner or a temporary judge.

More of the same is still great, right?
Despite the dry and arid climate and the minor annoyance of rampant psychopaths and killer animals, I can say that I was genuinely excited to revisit Pandora with Borderlands 2. Unsurprisingly, little has changed since my last visit, which is both good and bad. Like its predecessor, traipsing across the landscape, slaughtering dozens of enemies along the way and looting everything in sight is highly addictive; however, despite the numerous tweaks made to the formula, the core experience isn't any better than what you saw the last time around.

Microsoft Corp. today announced that it has withdrawn its proposal to acquire Yahoo! Inc. said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft. "Despite our best efforts, including raising our bid by roughly $5 billion, Yahoo! has not moved toward accepting our offer. After careful consideration, we believe the economics demanded by Yahoo! do not make sense for us, and it is in the best interests of Microsoft stockholders, employees and other stakeholders to withdraw our proposal," said Ballmer. "We have a talented team in place and a compelling plan to grow our business through innovative new services and strategic transactions with other business partners. While Yahoo! would have accelerated our strategy, I am confident that we can continue to move forward toward our goals," Ballmer said. "We are investing heavily in new tools and Web experiences, we have dramatically improved our search performance and advertiser satisfaction, and we will continue to build our scale through organic growth and partnerships," said Kevin Johnson, Microsoft president for platforms and services. Below is the text of the letter from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang. Source: Microsoft
I was waitin for this to pop up.. it made headlines yesterday. =P I think MS is now going to watch Y! stock plummet and then move in for the kill.
This is a VERY LONG letter by Ballmer. Too long. It is either: 1./ Fake, or 2./ Spelling out issues of market collution with the dominant player, together with "poison pill", ready to take the issue to the MM commission, or pursue legal action againt said director. How? Becuase Ballmer is spelling out how, through "spite of hostile bid", the management team of Yahoo would take actions to destroy value for their shareholders. They would be legally liable to the shareholders for such action and could not only force their resignation, but pursue them for damages, or 3./ Its a trojan horse. MS will not take Yahoo in ONE hostile bid, but will work with an invement bank / private equity firm to acquire stock through a third party until such point that together they have sufficient voting rights to appoint their own board members. Its not a hostile take over. But an accumulating stakeholder in Yahoo until such point that MS has controlling influence. All in all, odd. Yahoo should remain alert.
damn they were wiling to raise their offer to $33 bucks a share and they still said no. im sorry but i think that was kind of stupid on yahoo"s part!
In other words yahoo are going to get 'assimilated' Interbreeding with the Yahoo stocks until yahoo stocks become M$ stocks
But no one else could afford $50 billion... Yahoo is stupid, and their stocks will plumet, and MS will have the last laugh in this.
The EU, China, and the US would tear them apart for even trying it... The Supreme Court is already looking at that 3 day trail Yahoo did with Google...
I'm glad to see a company who cares about who they are being bought by. So what if Microsoft offered a large sack of money? If Yahoo doesn't want to take that sack of money then they shouldn't have to. They are probably working out a deal with Google as we speak. Personally, if I was a big company, I'd rather accept $30mill from Google than $50+mill from Microsoft.
REad the post above you dude its not ever going to happen PERIOD. Unless Googles share of the interent starts to dramatically fall down like crazy and Microsofts starts to increase like crazy (not likely to happen anytime soon though. Maybe Microsoft should be looking to take over ASk.com that would be a pretty good takeover bid if you ask me.
Microsoft would be better off taking just a fraction of the money that would have been used in a takover bid of yahoo, and strengthening their own Live brand. Yahoo isn't even relevant anymore.
note: <-- not an MS fanboy but rather a fanboy of Goliath, er, Google. i completely agree. oh how i look forward to Monday's stock numbers for Yahoo!. i side with Ballmer that Yahoo!'s hierarchy has done everything they could to make themselves undesirable while in the process acquiring unnecessary services to make the price increase they demanded seem acceptable (to whom i do not know).. can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning and see how their shareholders react to such and MS officially saying that the money is off the table. http://finance.google.com/finance?q=YHOO - Robert (PmR)DIJ
I havnt used Yahoo services in years. I never will again anyways. Theres just far better out there! Yahoo did not do the right thing by its investors and should have sold for the top dollar. I dont think MS will persue the aquisition of Yahoo untill its worthless, but im sure they will merge with someone else before considering MS as a viable option. In the meantime MS will use it as an example and move onto something more strategic. Improving ' Live ' would be their best longterm goal. $5 Billion to improve Live seems very doable, especially with one of its competitors about to hit the ground floor!
Fuck yea they should have. Yahoo stock was ~$20 before the MS bid. Immediately after the bid, their stocks rose to $30. MS was offering ~$32. That's 30% more than yahoo was worth. Their stocks have been falling ever since 2000. Yahoo is a piece of shit, not worth $40 per share or whatever they were asking for. The upper management only denied the request so they could keep their jobs. I'm glad MS pulled their bid. I can't wait until monday!!!!! Exactly. You, and people like you, are the ONLY reason MS wants to buy Yahoo. There's really nothing else besides a user base that Yahoo can contribute.
Pure idiocy. Yahoo shares will drop to $10 a piece by q4 and then MS will buy them out for bugger all.
tbh looks to me as if yahoo is holding out to see how much ms would raise the price now ms have pulled out i reckon a deal will be made pretty soon if yahoo cannot find another buyer.
Google will be Yahoo's new partner. Unfortunate that MS is literally failing on so many fronts right now it's not even funny.

Formerly "French Kitchen in America," this kitchen is located on the outskirts of an old French Canadian neighborhood in the Upper Great Lakes. The menu is eclectic and the topics are varied.

Countdown to Ecstacy Paris, or, "LaFayette, We are Returning."
I've been talking about this trip for so long (since the last one) they all think we should have gone already. But it was a complicated year, made challenging by huge projects in my workplace and in my husband's. We both worked a lot, stressed out a lot, and a trip to Madison was all we could muster, in contrast to 2005, when we seemed to be traveling constantly.
Paris is now less than 150 days away. Meanwhile, there are a number of Paris blogs that have made the wait a little easier, bringing The City of Light as close as my iMac screen. Some are old favorites, others are new friends.
First stop every morning is Eric Tenin's Paris Daily Photo. Eric has an eye for detail and a talent for text (turns out he's a fellow journalist). His Dec. 11 "Somewhere Near the Bastille" photo was a masterpiece of contrast and atmosphere. It drew 57 comments — what some of us wouldn't give for that!
Richard Nahem's Eye (or I) Prefer Paris is next. An ex-New Yorker, Richard offers a mix of events, wry observations, reviews and an extensive list of links to other Paris blogs, many of which I have just discovered. Recently he interviewed Eric, and last I knew, was pursuing another celebrity blogger subject. Richard, you could have had a career as a journalist. I've always believed that one creative pursuit feeds another, pun intended.
Of course, I stop at David Lebovitz's blog — doesn't everyone? — because he's savvy and funny and he's the "chocolate guy." (Pray that all the raffle tickets I bought through Menu for Hope win me his chocolate tour.)
Another stop is Run Around Paris, an eclectic and highly useful blog. RAP, two-person venture, offers a bit of everything, from interviews to event notes to food and — well, you name it, Erin (U.S.) and Greg (Paris) offer it. Play close attention here because some extremely useful information awaits you at RAP.
The blogs noted above are all upbeat, a far cry from the first blog I stumbled across a few years ago in which a college student spending a year in Paris whined incessantly about having to be there. Huh?
There are a number of other blogs I check out on a less regular basis. Some are useful when planning a trip but frustrating, too, since they are not updated regularly.
As far as Web sites go, I recommend Paris Notes, a newsletter I've been reading for about five years now. If you subscribe, you can access the Web site's added features, including the newsletter archives. (You can get snail-mail or electronic versions.) The restaurant reviews from Rosa Jackson are priceless. (BTW, I'm also hoping to win Rosa's contribution to Menu for Hope.)
Paris has a way of taking your soul hostage. You give your heart willingly, but you soon realize the city has taken your soul as well. I know of no single person who has visited Paris who does not want to go back.
In our case, we have waited nearly two years.
What about you?

I did not realize that was your daughter! I love these mother-daughter blogging arrangements.
I can start to cry thinking about Paris, too.
I love Julia — my father was a big fan of hers. A friend found me "Masterting the Art. . ." at a rummage sale — it was a wonderful gift! - 19 December, 2006 19:34

Yep, Paris captured our hearts and souls and does it everytime we visit which is only as often as we can and not as often as we'd like.

You got that right, Tanna.
BTW, I am still on the lookout for great finds as far as cafes, shops, neighborhoods, etc. - 19 December, 2006 20:37

Haven't been into Paris in a number of years, but we're lucky to have family members who have a little house in Amiel, not far from Toulouse, where we visit from time to time. I'm looking forward (already!) to reading about your Paris excursion next year.
- 19 December, 2006 22:48
- Mimi said...
That's a great area of France, Lydia. I'm just re-reading Miles Morland's "A Walk Across France" and enjoying his descriptions of the general area south of Toulouse.
My husband once siad I have enoigh books about France to finance a trip. He is probably right. - 20 December, 2006 06:30
Mimi, I "tried" to plan a trip to Italy last year and wound up planning a trip to Paris - again - because we can't get enough of it.
As far as cafes, etc., I always like to stumble upon them as we walk around and at the very least never use an American guidebook for restaurants because in the restaurant you will see your mostly other Americans and not have a 'really' French experience.
A couple of things I can suggest. There is a wonderful walking market street in the 14th on Rue Daguerre with a delightful hat shop: Chapellerie Divine, 39, rue Daguerre, among other bistrots, cafes, shops, etc. In the 6th we enjoyed a real bistro dinner at Bistrot Mazarin, 42 rue Mazarin and in the 14th two great places: a real old style bistrot called Au Vin des Rues at 21 rue Boulard and Les Fils de la Ferme at 5 rue Mouton Duvernet, easily located at the Mouton Duvernet metro stop on line 4. These restaurants are frequented much more by the locals than tourists. Hope this gives you some ideas. (Les Fils and Bistrot Mazarin both have websites). - 20 December, 2006 08:48

I like to stumble upon them, too, but it's always good to have recommendations, Lu.
Last time we ate at Café Petite Pont near Shakespeare & Co., and Café le Grand Tour, near the ET.
In the 13th, we tried Café Manhattan near Pitié Saltpetriére and had a delightfully snooty waiter — he was hilarious. A few doors away on May Day, a very nice cafe owner fed us even though he was closing when we came in. We also enjoyed Café Campo near Place d'Italy, also in the 13th — the waitress was so kind.
There were one or two others whose names I cannot recall.
I will look up your suggestions — it's always nice when they have sites.
Thanks, Lu! - 20 December, 2006 09:48
I forgot to say relative to your trip in 150+ days....
Color me green with envy!!! :-)
(How do you get the French keyboard accents on your computer?)
PS - I want to get to know both the 11th and 13th better next time! - 20 December, 2006 11:31
- Mimi said...
To get the accents: Hit option and the letter and then — very quickly — the letter again. It should work, Lu.
The 13th was supposed to be very working class, the real Paris, or so I heard. We really liked it, but it was a bit far from the action. We walked down to Place d'Italie at night, hoping to see skaters, but I think we were too early. Lots of American fast food place there. We plan to go back, though, just to see if it has changed in two years.
I loved Austerlitz, even though Gare de Lyon is more elegant. Both won my heart because they are portals to the Midi. - 20 December, 2006 12:52

Mimi, you are SO right about Paris taking your soul. Reading your post and looking at the picture of the side street made me almost homesick. Unfortunately, unless I have a business trip that will take me to Paris (unlikely this year), I will not be making a trip to The City of Lights this year. But, like you, I am counting the days until I can return.

Follow hook moves and two hangerless bolts to a thin seam. Can be done hammerless if you're feeling ambitious. Easy to set a toprope after climbing Church Bowl Tree. Can be led, but there's no good gear until up higher so a fall before the offset cam placements will be onto a hangerless bolt...
10 ft. to the right of Church Bowl Tree.
Hooks, small pins/pecker, rivet hangers (bring a screamer if leading), and angles or offset aliens; fixed heads. Two bolt anchor up top.
From the anchors of Church Bowl Tree an ambitious pendulum to the right can be made to set up a top rope on the two bolt anchors at the top of the crack. hooking moves are bathooks so having a talon is very helpful.
Nice to see Dana get credit for this... I was his belay monkey that day (though I think I drilled one of the bolts). Lawn chair, case of beer, fun times.
Nice and thin!

HOPE MILLS - Two brothers are accused of beating a man so badly at a Hope Mills nightclub that his jaw was broken in six places and required surgery, police said.
Michael Anthony Lopez, 25, and Jose Peter Lopez, 27, both of the 500 block of Anson Drive in Fayetteville, were charged Tuesday with assault inflicting serious bodily injury, said Detective Josh Hamilton of the Hope Mills Police Department.
Jose Lopez is a military police officer who was reassigned from South Carolina to Fort Bragg earlier this week, Hamilton said.
The fight happened July 1 at the Hellas Restaurant & Sports Bar on North Main Street in Hope Mills, Hamilton said.
Matthew Porter, 26, and a date were in the club as it was closing when words were exchanged, Hamilton said.
The Lopez brothers then assaulted Porter, beating him in the face with their fists, Hamilton said.
Porter was taken to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill where he had surgery to repair his broken jaw, Hamilton said.
Porter's jaw is wired shut, Hamilton said, and is he recovering.
Bail for Michael Lopez, who was arrested at the brothers' home, was set at $25,000. Bail for Jose Lopez was not immediately available, Hamilton said.

My sincere gratitude to the ethnomusicologist Danilo Lozano for his valuable comments and generous suggestions.
Bazm-e Qajariyyeh (parties from the Qajar era, 1795–1925) often took place in the extensive gardens of the rich and are documented in memoirs, paintings, and photographs of the period. As a vocal performer of music of both the classical and popular genres for more than forty years, I have personally experienced the powerful hold these 6/8 rhythms in all their manifestations have over their Iranian listeners. Early in the 1950s, when I began learning songs from both the motrebi and the classical traditions, I was struck by the unique 6/8 rhythms found throughout the Iranian world, including Azerbaijan, Armenia, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan, all of which are connected through important elements of dance, music, literature, and shared history, among others. In this vast region the 6/8 rhythm was or is performed in its many variations, including a nearly 7/8 rhythm in the eastern parts of this area. Iranian musicians told me that this rhythm ran in their veins and was called shir-e madar (mother's milk) because, like mother's milk, the rhythm was imbibed as young children. For a sampling of 6/8 rhythms found in Persian music, see Faramarz Tehrani's Ritm-ha-ye varzeshi (Exercise Rhythms 1991), a manual on how to play the tonbak, a goblet-shaped drum. Some scholars will perhaps argue that it is the poetry or music that excites the interest of an Iranian audience, but personal experience has shown that when the audience hears a 6/8 rhythmic introduction of a reng (dance piece) or song, even before any lyrics are sung or any melody is played, they begin to snap their fingers (beshkan) or clap in time to the rhythm in happy expectation of what is to follow.
1. For an excellent discussion of what constitutes highbrow and lowbrow, Lawrence W. Levine (1988) details not only how cultural canons are constructed but also how the cultural hierarchies of what constitutes "high" and "low" are dynamic categories that mutate under changing economic and social conditions. [BACK]
2. The most detailed and important study of the tasnif is Margaret Caton's Ph.D. dissertation (1983). However, it should be noted that, like many ethnomusicologists, she limits her study to tasnifs, which belong to the classical canon in the opinion of most ethnomusicologists and Iranian classical musicians. [BACK]
3. Motreb, a word of Arabic origin meaning "one who gladdens or makes happy," refers to public entertainers who variously and in combination acted, played musical instruments, sang, and danced. Historically such a category of performer dates back at least to the fourteenth century, where the term is found in the poetry of Hafez. These entertainers were linguistically and conceptually set apart from the serious musicians of the court. In the twentieth century, when public performances of all kinds of music became available, motreb came to refer, disparagingly, to those who play light music. It needs to be stressed that the designation "motreb" in the twentieth century constitutes a loaded insult, and those performers who consider themselves classical musicians are very sensitive to its negative connotations. I have personally heard numerous musicians disparage one another by using this term.
Truly low-class street musicians, as well as certain types of itinerant rural performers, were often called luti. The depiction of parties in Persian miniatures, accompanied by dancing and wine, and Europeans' shocked descriptions of wild drinking bouts, as well as the untimely deaths of several rulers of both the Timurid and Safavid dynasties (1501–1725) from overconsumption, graphically demonstrate that these gatherings were not contemplative philosophical affairs but revels calling for entertaining, rather than serious, music. [BACK]
4. An exception to Westernized popular music containing "safe" lyrics were some songs performed by Dariyush that contained covert political criticism. [BACK]
5. Ruhollah Khaleqi suggests that because women "went in search of decorating themselves to captivate hearts…they made little effort to acquire art and leave some traces of it and therefore the pages of history are filled with the names of male artists" (1974, 466). Khaleqi's portrayal of women as artistic lightweights extends through his chapter "Women and Art" (465–86), in which he characterizes women as more likely to inspire art than to create it. [BACK]
6. As an example of this, I was recently interviewed on Radio Seda-ye Iran, the twenty-four-hour Persian-language station and asked by the host, Ali Reza Meibudi, to sing "Yek hamumi sita sazam, chehel sotun, chehel panjereh" (I Built a Bathhouse for You with Forty Pillars and Forty Windows), an old tasnif that hovers perilously between the classical and motrebi traditions and that has become associated with my performances. After I sang a verse, he segued into a new version, replete with synthesizers, by Shamaizadeh, an older popular music performer from Iran. [BACK]
7. Regarding context, certain classical musicians insist that the setting for the performance of classical music must be intimate, contemplative, and spiritual, a setting where both performer and listener may concentrate. Thus songs performed at weddings and cafés cannot be considered classical. During, Mirabdolbaghi, and Safvat advise that classical music should be performed that "suggest[s] an element of hal, contemplation, and concentration to younger generations by striking a balance between poetry and music, helping them liberate themselves from the ill effects of the age of the machine and the culture of money, violence and sex" (1991, 248). [BACK]
8. In fact, one of the most successful attempts to "popularize" classical music was made by the immensely popular classical avaz singer, Golpayegani, of whom Lloyd Clifton Miller disparagingly writes: "Golpayegani was a promising vocal master who recorded on the UNESCO album entitled 'Iran' wherein he was accompanied by Borumand on tar. Sadly, he later fell victim to the applause of audiences and eventually decayed into a pop singer who crooned to audiences, milking them for cheers by exaggerated and contrived expressions of emotion" (1995, 229–30). While Golpayegani was reviled in some soi-disant elite classical circles, many Iranians praised him for saving classical music by performing it in new contexts for audiences who would otherwise never have listened to it. Reactions to Golpayegani's performances are not unlike those that criticize Luciano Pavarotti's "popular" appearances. [BACK]
9. In an interview (December 23, 1996), Jamshid Sheibani told me that, in fact, he was the first singer to incorporate Western elements in his songs. He sang for the official opening of Radio Tehran in 1940 where he sang "Bi to" (Without You) and "Delbar-e tanaz" (Flirtatious Sweetheart). Sheibani insists that these songs and others he later recorded were "in the seven dastgahs [modal systems], but the rhythms, a slow rhumba and a tango, were Western." [BACK]
10. An excellent sampler of four tapes dating back to the 1950s is available. It is titled Shabi dar kafeh-ha-ye Tehran (A Night in the Cafés of Tehran, 1987), published by Iranzamin Publishing Co. (P.O. Box 16234, Irvine, CA 92713), with the assistance of Morteza Varzi. [BACK]
11. When Mahvash was killed in an automobile accident, thousands of bereaved fans attended her funeral. [BACK]
12. Issari's work gives a year-by-year entry for every film made in Iran during the period, with complete credits, including all of the major actors, singers, and, occasionally, dancers involved. [BACK]
13. For a more detailed discussion of the types of lyrics found in this genre, see Shay 1995a. [BACK]
14. See also Pechey (1989, 51) on the importance of Bakhtin's concept of the carnivalesque in literature. [BACK]
15. For a full discussion of the topic of Islam and music, see Choudhury 1957; Nelson 1985. [BACK]
16. Some writers claim that this music is so spiritual that only Sufi poetry should be used for its performance: "But any traditional poetry with mystic and metaphysical meaning written in the metric system could be used. Yet one should choose Sufi or spiritual works such as those of Rumi, Hafez, Saidi and similar writers. Works of Omar Khayyam might not be suitable for song texts in the radif" (Miller 1995, 227–28). [BACK]
17. Even with these changes, certain classical musicians disagree:
[BACK]The current tendency is to compensate for the disappearance of light music by arranging classical or popular airs in a pleasant and novel manner. Some traditional musicians completely disagree with this method, which, ironically, they call pop-e-erfani, "mystic pop." What the purists criticize is not the music itself, which performs its function—to entertain—but the fact that it is presented as an expression of the learned tradition. (During, Mirabdolbaghi, and Safvat 1991, 54)
18. Morteza Neydavud, perhaps more wisely than those claiming pre-Islamic origins, states, "I don't know, and I don't think anybody else can. Even if you ask Darvish Khan, he would say that he got it from another master." He adds, "The origin, and originators of the dastgahs, modes, and the gushes are actually unknown" (During, Mirabdolbaghi, and Safvat 1991, 202). [BACK]
19. In Iran contexts for performing in secret, and even publicly, in defiance of the Islamic Republic's ban on this dance form, supply ample evidence that the performance of this dance creates a space for resistance to the regime. It is significant that Iranian women from throughout the diaspora chose to taunt the Islamic regime through the vehicle of dance at the International Women's Conference in Beijing in September 1995 (reported on Radio Seda-ye Iran, September 1995). [BACK]

21. Music with patriotic themes, such as the well-known "Ey, Iran," constitute a single genre of music called sorud (hymn or anthem). Musically the sorud differs from all other forms of Iranian music: it is played in 2/4 and 4/4 rhythms and intended to be sung by groups, and it is often taught in school. [BACK]

Is Obama to Blame for High Gas Prices? >
Obama Can Control Some Factors That Affect Oil Prices
Domestic energy production has increased despite president, not because of him
March 2, 2012
There are countless factors that affect oil prices, and some of them fall outside the president's immediate control, but to argue that an American president has zero ability to impact domestic gasoline prices is simply false. As most people know, the price of gasoline is largely determined by the price of oil. The recent increase in oil prices, and the subsequent increase in gasoline prices, is largely due to a potential disruption in the supply of Iranian oil—there has been no actual decline in international oil production. Conversely, allowing America's oil and natural gas producers to explore our vast oil reserves would absolutely quell concerns about future oil production, increase international spare capacity, and bring down the price of gasoline.
[What Obama and Ben Bernanke Should Do About Gas Prices.]
Under the Obama administration, consumers have seen a real increase in energy prices. The price of gasoline has increased by more than 90 percent. Last year, the average American household spent over 8 percent of its income on gasoline, the largest portion in three decades. Still, the president opposes oil and gas development here at home: Billions of barrels of oil contained in Alaska, America's West, and our Outer Continental Shelf are off-limits.
In the face of criticism, the president is quick to trumpet increased domestic oil production going on today. True, the U.S. is producing more of the energy we consume, but these trends stem from increased development of oil and natural gas on private and state lands—production on federal lands is declining.
[Has the 'Peak Oil' Tipping Point Arrived?]
Only about a third as many offshore drilling permits are being issued compared to historical averages, and the approval process takes nearly three times as long. The president has publicly taken credit for natural gas development across the country, but most of the shale boom is due to technical innovation and exploration that began years ago. Finally, the Keystone XL pipeline would have created thousands of blue-collar jobs and increased America's energy security, had the president not killed the deal. Indeed, domestic energy production has increased despite President Obama, not because of him.
Far from facilitating domestic production, President Obama has threatened to cripple America's job creators by repealing standard cost recovery tax policies employed by oil and natural gas producers. Raising oil and natural gas producers' taxes by $90 billion would force these employers to delay or scrap future projects—outcomes that can only increase the price of oil.
[Why the Economic Recovery Might Be Real This Time.]
The complexity of the energy markets makes it impossible to pin the blame of high gas prices squarely on President Obama. But by the same token, the president has largely squandered the options available to him, and now advocates policies that would only take the country in the wrong direction. Our energy policy needs to harness all our resources to position ourselves once more as a global leader of innovation and growth.

How so? If they fill the vacant position that he is currently doing, they will have to pay the same salary but also benefits. How would that be saving taxpayers money?
I don't believe the 17.5th commandment is "Thou shalt continue to pay exorbitantly high wages and benefits for empty positions until the end of time."
While it may be the practice to pay a newbie to the job what the old "valued" or "required" or whatever the magic term is— employee got, that is not written in stone or anything else for that matter. Writing leases for the harbor needn't be full time work and it doesn't require a witch doctor to do it. There are probably hundreds of licensed real estate professional in the county who regularly write commercial leases for property owners on a weekly if not daily basis. I feel confident that an agreement could be made with one of them to handle the leasing of property at the harbor. Per contract basis, no benefits, no perks, just cash money paid in a timely fashion.

Kamikaze pilot crashes plane into federal tax agency building in Austin, Texas
The building contained 200 federal tax employees at the time of the crash that started a raging fire and sent workers fleeing for their lives.
Thirteen people were treated in hospital and two remained in critical condition Thursday evening, authorities said.
The pilot took off in a single-engine Piper PA-28 from an airport in Georgetown, about 30 miles from Austin. The FBI tentatively identified the pilot as Andrew Joseph Stack III, 53.
The Georgetown, Texas airport was evacuated and a bomb squad arrived to do the scene to check Stack's car following the incident. Federal authorities declared the airport all clear and found no bomb the vehicle.
Planes scheduled to land at Georgetown Airport were being re-routed to Austin Bergstrom Airport in Austin while the vehicle was searched.
Law enforcement officials said that before taking off, Stack apparently set fire to his house and posted a long antigovernment screed on the Web. It was dated yesterday and signed "Joe Stack (1956-2010)."
In it, the author cited run-ins he had with the IRS and ranted about the tax agency, government bailouts, and corporate America's "thugs and plunderers."
"I have had all I can stand," he wrote, adding: "I choose not to keep looking over my shoulder at 'big brother' while he strips my carcass."

It has been nearly a thousand years since the fall of the once great Golden Empire of Mankind, the assassination of the Emperor causing a civil war to break the nation into dozens of warring states. Each of these nations claim to rule the greater whole, and each has set forth a so-called heir to the Empire, none of which have been proven to be true of blood. With humanity fractured, and no longer keeping the greater threats at bay, countless other races have arisen to dominate their own area of the world. These younger races pursue their goals with all the enthusiasm of an emerging power, yet lack the stability of the old Empire, and as such many fall overnight to internal conflict. The darkness at the edges of the world slowly works its way into these nations that rise and fall, corrupting those found weak, and emboldening those who still cling to the Golden Empire's traditions.
While many of the nations are concerned with the political layout of the world, many of the religions of the world find their prayers unanswered in the aftermath of the Emperor's death. Those who do maintain contact with their gods speak of a terrible evil amassing, and that the gods themselves tremble before this grave threat. Though many simply pass this off as a desperate attempt to gain followers, none can look past the sudden resurgence of the Elder Races, and how they themselves seem more interested in the goings of the rest of the world. The Isoterix are seen for the first time outside the borders of their mysterious realm, the silver-skinned beings wandering the lands in search of their kin. Meanwhile it is said that the Tsintic's forest home has been less aggressive in its defenses, and that adventurers have actually seen the City of Memory and spoken with the Tsintic people. Even the Nier have started to expand beyond their borders, some of their members roaming about speaking of keeping "The Dark Ones" at bay and preaching of how The Light will remain when all else fails.
As the end of an era nears the world, many nations begin mobilizing for war, uncertain of the supposed dangers outside the known borders, and fearful of their neighbors. Others go on heedless of the preachings of the faithful, caring only to further their own goals. Little do these nations know that the mad ravings of the priests are correct, and that a Long Night approaches in which the forces of darkness will make a move on the civilized world that has been in planning for thousands of years.
This is, War Among the Realms.
-- Welcome players, to the IC for War Among the Realms. This is where you will guide your nation(or Character) to victory, help them to establish a lasting peace, pursue knowledge and innovation, or simply survive the onslaught of hostile nations/creatures that wander the world. This first round takes place in the Northern Realms, those of Amun'Daevier, the Illuminated Lands, The Reach, and Aild'vis. Place your pieces on the board, make your moves, and prepare for everything. --

As a first bit of interest for the nations of the world, news is traveling of the death of the Dwarven Steward, and that a Crusade is imminent.

Les Paul Born Jun 9 1915 - Died Aug 13 2009 Solid-Body Electric Guitar Patent Number(s) 3,018,680
Inducted 2005 His innovations led to his first solid-body electric guitar in 1941. Coupled with his pioneering recording techniques, Paul produced a series of extremely popular recordings that introduced the public to his fast, multi-layered productions that frequently included Paul playing as many as six musical parts simultaneously through the process of overdubbing. He also designed and built his own multi-track tape recorders. The quality and originality of Les Paul's work inspired a generation of musicians to embrace his guitar and recording techniques. In 1952 the Gibson Musical Instrument Co. began selling its popular Les Paul model electric guitar. It rapidly established the new instrument as a powerful influence in the entertainment industry. Invention Impact Les Paul transformed popular music by inventing the modern solid-body electric guitar. Years of experimentation culminated in the mass production of the Gibson Les Paul guitar. His success as a performer and recording artist inspired a generation of musicians to master the new instrument. Paul also pioneered innovative techniques that transformed music-recording technology. Inventor Bio Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Les Paul became a professional musician as a teenager and was the leader of his own trio by the age of 21. From the beginning of his career, Paul was fascinated by the opportunities of amplifying musical instruments electronically. He tinkered with a wide range of techniques in search of a way to produce a pleasing and unique sound.

Llovera was a regular in the Super 2000 world championship last term finishing ninth in the final standings, but a lack of budget has restricted him to the Spanish series so far in 2012. That was until he secured an outing on the mixed-surface extravaganza on the Costa Daurada from 8-11 November on the back of a successful campaign in Spain's national championship.
"As a prize for winning Group N and finishing third in the Spanish championship, I have been awarded a drive in the WRC next week," explained the Andorran, who will be co-driven by Diego Vallejo in Spain. "I've struggled with a small budget this year but I'm delighted to have been offered a place for Rally de Espana, it is a perfect prize."
In terms of a target for next week's rally, which Llovera is contesting for a sixth time, a podium finish is the aim. "I need to be realistic about the rally," he said. "It will be difficult against some of the PROTON and Ford Fiesta S2000 cars, our car is quite old and we don't have the new suspension like the others. I will certainly try to fight for a podium position, especially on the asphalt where we set our best times."

WAITSFIELD — Vermont State Police say 10 cows were running loose for around an hour in Waitsfield late Tuesday night.
The Belted Galloway cows were owned by farmer Hadley Gaylord. They were located in the parking lot of the Village Grocery on Main Street.
Trooper Amber Haag said state police received the call about the wayward cows around 11:37 p.m. She said the cows were having trouble getting traction on the roads because of the salt, but none of the cows fell or were injured.
Haag said the cows were eventually herded back to their pasture by Gaylord's cattle dog and the escape did not cause any traffic disturbances. Haag said she responded in case she needed to escort the cows back home.MORE IN This Just InCity Room with the Rich Schneider, President of Norwich University.
