E6X technology yields lightweight, responsive bass spinning rods with smooth, subtle tapers for incredible accuracy and control. E6X Spin Jig rods feature Fuji guides and full cork grips with a comfortable cork mid-body reel seat for a comfortable fishing experience. These rods combine a subtle tip with a powerful butt-section for positive hooksets and maximum sensitivity!
Designed to fish light jigs, smaller soft plastics and jerkbaits, the 721 Spin Jig rod is a 6', light power, light line specialty rod. It's an eight-pound line rod, but you can go up or down a line size with no problems. It has a soft tip to cast light baits, yet enough power to handle big fish. It works really well for fishing baits that are just too light to cast and control well with a baitcasting outfit. E6X gives you incredible performance at a reasonable price.
A nice, light, medium power spinning rod with a lot of versatility for a number of different applications.. It fishes best with 8-pound line, but will handle 10-pound, no problem. If you're into fishing tubes, grubs, small topwaters or jerkbaits on a spinning rod, this is a great choice. It's sneaky powerful and will handle big fish surprisingly well. E6X makes it light, sensitive and very durable. A great all around spinning rod!
One of G. Loomis most versatile warm-water spinning rods. It has a fast taper, light tip and great action, providing a positive hook-set and excellent casting range. Its a nice rod for fishing jerk-baits and for split shotting small lizards and worms. It's a good alternative for baits you'd normally fish on a casting rod and it will handle any oversized surprise. E6X provides excellent performance at a reasonable price.
Probably G. Loomis best all-around spinning rod. Rated medium-heavy, it's an excellent choice for a bass and walleye anglers will appreciate the power and sensitivity. It has a fast, powerful taper that fishes well in heavier cover. It will fish medium-sized jigs or soft plastics as well as spinnerbaits and larger topwaters. This is a powerful, reliable fishing tool featuring our E6X technology.
A really nice 7', 8-14 pound spinning rod for fishing light jigs, tubes or other soft plastics in deeper water where cover really isn't an issue. It has a fast taper for increased power and a light tip that makes it a great choice for buzzbaits and other topwater baits. The seven-foot length increases the "tip radius" during the cast as well as the hookset and that means more distance as well as more positive hook-ups. E6X provides great performance at a real value in such a versatile rod!
A sneaky powerful, deep-water worm and jig spinning rod especially where there's a little more cover involved. It has a medium-heavy power rating that allows you to fish lure weights of up to ¾ ounce. The extra length extends your casting range and improves hook-ups. Its a great choice for pike and big, deep-water largemouths. The quick taper gives you better control in the wind and positive hook-sets. E6X makes it light, sensitive and affordable!

There are about 15 different types of contraceptives which allow you to enjoy sex without the risk of getting pregnant.
These birth control methods include: condoms, the diaphragm, the contraceptive pill, implants, IUDs (intrauterine devices), sterilization and the morning after pill.
Many of these methods of contraception also lower your chance of getting an STI.
Condoms, spermicides and sponges aside, most types of contraception can only be obtained with the help of a doctor.
In the last 50 years, the number of contraception methods has dramatically increased. You can differentiate between different types of contraception based on how they work: there are barrier methods (e.g. condoms or a cervical cap), hormonal methods (e.g the pill), intrauterine devices (IUD) and sterilization.
Emergency contraception (morning after pill) is another method, but we will only review "planned contraception" here.
Most types of contraceptives work by:
a) preventing an egg from being released every month (hormones)
b) preventing sperms from reaching the egg (barrier and some IUD methods)
c) blocking the reproductive function – in men or women (sterilization)
d) preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus (hormones)
The condom and the pill consistently rank at the top as the most commonly used types of contraception.
The contraceptive pill was invented in 1960. Fifty years on, many new inventions have been added to the list of available contraception methods, but the pill remains the most popular form of female contraception.
The contraceptive pill will prevent you from getting pregnant in 95% of cases and it comes close to providing 99% protection if you take one pill every day as prescribed.
The pill can come in two forms: the combined contraceptive pill (containing the hormones estrogen and progestin) or the mini-pill (only progestin). In the case of the mini-pill, it's important that you take your pill every day at the same time (you should not be late by more than three hours).
Keep in mind that the pill does not provide any protection against STIs and that a doctor's prescription is required to buy it.
Among the different types of contraceptives, the male condom is a strong contender to the title of most common contraception method. It is easy to use, affordable and offers the best protection against STIs (e.g. gonorrhoea, chlamydia, HIV).
Condoms are usually made of latex, but if you are allergic to latex, some brands also specialize in condoms made of polyurethane or lambskin. These two are also compatible with lube (latex condoms are not, unless with water-based lubricant); however lambskin condoms do not provide protection against STIs.
For safety reasons, make sure you use a new condom each time you have sex.
Just like the male condom, the female condom is one of the few types of contraception that you can buy over-the-counter at pharmacies and grocery stores without a prescription.
It was first introduced twenty years ago and offers 95% effective protection for pregnancy, as well as some protection against STIs. Female condoms are generally more expensive than the male ones but they are less likely to burst. They can be inserted up to eight hours before sex.
Continuing with the list of barrier contraception methods, there is the diaphragm which is placed inside the vagina so that it prevents the sperm from getting into the uterus. Despite being a barrier method, it doesn't protect against STIs.
The diaphragm must be coated with spermicide each time before sex and a doctor needs to show you how to use it (you need a prescription to get one). It is inserted at least six hours before sex and it needs to be removed after 24 hours for cleaning. Depending on the material and type of the diaphragm, it can be reused many times.
The cervical cap (sold as Femcap) is a thimble-shaped latex cup, basically like a diaphragm but smaller. It also needs to be used with a spermicide. The cervical cap must remain in the vagina at least 6 hours after sex, but it also has to be taken out within 48 hours after sex.
Because some women get cystitis (bladder infection) from using a diaphragm, the cervical cap is a useful replacement because it has less contact with the vagina (it only covers the cervix).
The problem with types of contraceptives such as the Femcap or the diaphragm is that their effectiveness - 92 to 95% protection in ideal use - is lower than other types (98-99%) and that they offer only partial protection against STIs (e.g. no HIV protection).
You have the choice between two types of IUDs: hormonal or copper-based devices. Hormonal and copper IUDs are part of the few long-term solutions, meaning that you can keep them inside the vagina for up to five or ten years respectively.
The effectiveness rate for IUDs is above 99%, however they provide no protection against STIs. Note that IUDs can be a form of emergency contraception if the device is inserted within 5 days after unprotected sex. You will nonetheless need to visit a doctor to have it properly inserted and follow the prescription (e.g. a few follow-ups and check-ups for possible infection in the first weeks).
The implant is another option among the types of contraceptives that offer long term protection. It lasts for about three years on average. Just like IUDs, the implant does not protect against STIs.
The contraceptive implant contains progestin (progesterone), the same hormone as the contraceptive pill. The hormone is released into your body at a steady, slow pace for three years, producing the same effects as the pill.
The implant is inserted in the arm by a healthcare specialist and must be removed after three years. Since the risk of human mistake is ruled out, the implant has a much higher effectiveness rate than the pill – around 99.99%.
The sponge is a small, round-shaped foam (polyurethane) placed deep inside the vagina. It contains spermicide so that sperm does not get past the foam. You should leave the sponge inside the vagina for at least six hours after sex, but remove it within 24 hours following sexual intercourse (to lessen the risk of toxic shock).
The sponge does not protect past those 24 hours and does not provide any STI protection. It is sometimes used as a backup for other contraception methods (e.g. when you forgot to take the pill) and you can buy it without a prescription from the pharmacy.
Spermicide is a recurrent "ingredient" in contraception because it proves very effective when used in combination with other methods (e.g. diaphragm, sponge). In itself spermicide doesn't always offer the best protection against pregnancy, although this is also due to inconsistent use of the product.
You don't need a prescription to buy spermicide and it has very few associated side-effects, but keep in mind that it does not protect against STIs.
This method dates back to the 60s with the invention of artificial progesterone (progestin). One shot of hormones lasts in the body for 8 to 12 weeks (3 months) and has the same effect as the pill.
Injections are about 99% effective, with pregnancy occurring mostly with women who forgot to renew their contraceptive shot in time (i.e. past weeks 11 to 12). Obviously, once the shot is given it cannot be reversed, so you are effectively infertile for the next three months.
Just like the contraceptive pill, contraceptive injections do not protect from STIs.
The vaginal contraceptive ring is a small, transparent plastic ring that is inserted in the vagina and kept for three weeks. You should then remove it during your periods and replace it with a new one after that.
The ring contains the same hormones as the contraceptive pill (progesterone and estrogen), therefore providing the same kind of effective protection and side effects. You will need your doctor's prescription to buy the ring.
Just like other hormonal contraception, the vaginal ring does not protect from STIs.
The contraceptive patch is exactly the same thing as the contraceptive pill but in the form of a patch. It provides the same effective protection against pregnancy and has the side effects (positive and negative). It does not protect from STIs.
You wear the patch for three weeks, take it off for one week - allowing your menstrual cycle – then you start with a new patch. The patch is an interesting option in as much as you don't need to think about taking the pill every day.
There is however a risk of skin irritation, and a (rare) chance that the patch accidentally comes off.
Emergency contraception exists to stop you getting pregnant if you have had unprotected sex.
This method is for one-off occasions and is not recommended for daily use. It is particularly useful if a condom broke or if you missed one of your contraceptive pills.
The most common brand of morning after pill is Levonelle®. You should take it ideally within 24 hours after unprotected sex (this offers over 95% protection). The longer you wait, the less effective it will be. After 72 hours (3 days) the effectiveness drops to below 50%.
If you vomit within three hours after taking the pill, you must take another one.
A sterilization is an option available to both men and women.
As far as male contraception is concerned, the technique is called vasectomy and consists in tying off and cutting the tubes that carry sperm – without the need for a scalpel intervention or stitches. The man can then go home in the same day.
This provides no protection against STIs and the effects are for life. In very rare cases (less than 1%), the tubes can grow back, making pregnancy a risk.
As for female sterilization, this is also a very simple operation after which you can go back home the very same day. You have the choice between surgical and non-surgical types of sterilization.
Surgical sterilisation (known as tubal litigation) requires very small cuts in the belly to access the Fallopian tubes, cut them and tie them so that they cannot link the ovaries with the uterus any more. The effects are permanent so you must be sure of your choice concerning sterilization.
Non-surgical sterilisation consists of placing a coil in each Fallopian tube – through the vagina and uterus – so that scars appear and eventually block each tube completely. The scars may take up to 3 months to completely block the tubes, so you need to use another method of contraception in the meantime.
Both options also offer more than 99% of protection against pregnancy (and none against STIs) because of rare cases where blocked tubes happen to grow back and reconnect (1 in 200 women).
Although not a device or a pill, this is still a method of contraception. Natural family planning relies on knowing the menstrual cycle (periods) so that couples avoid having sex when the woman is fertile.
Three techniques (basal body temperature, cervical mucus and rhythm/calendar method) can be used for this, with higher protection rates when all three methods are used in combination. The effectiveness of this type of contraception varies between 75% to 99% (but 85% on average) with the higher uncertainty due to the fact that most women do not have a perfectly regular menstrual cycle.
In the absence of contraception, over 80% of women will fall pregnant within one year.
Needless to say, abstinence remains the only way to enjoy 100% protection from both pregnancy and STIs.
The use of contraception is widespread. It is used by anyone who wants to have sex, but avoid getting pregnant or contracting a sexually transmitted infection.
There is no such thing as a contraception method that offers 100% protection against pregnancy or STIs, because there is always a risk (even one in a thousand) that an accident could happen, be it rupture of a condom or human error (e.g. forgetting to take the contraceptive pill).
This makes it all the more important to look at effectiveness rates for different methods. Overall it's important to take into account that human errors can happen (e.g. more with the pill than with injections), how easy it is to use (e.g. condoms vs. diaphragm), and how good the effectiveness is for every method, in ideal use.
On average, hormonal contraception methods (e.g. the pill) are over 95% effective or more, and the condom is about 99% effective, although other barrier methods such as the diaphragm offer a protection rate between 80% to 95%.
The more careful and consistent you are, the higher is the contraceptive effectiveness for each method. For example, a careless use of condoms can make the effectiveness rate drop to nearly 85%.

The problem, as stated in the thesis, is the tokenization process can never give a 100% correct result by any todate technology. I'd give it a try for the approach in the thesis but it'd be risky if it doesn't deliver what it promised in thesis. My preference now is to use no stop word at all to avoid potential problems. An example problem is a word "คงอยู่" (Two syllables Thai word mean persisting and surviving). It will be segmented into "คง" (mean may, might and probably in English) and "อยู่" (mean stay, live and reside in English). By using the existing stop word, there is no way to find this word. By using the new stop words in the thesis, the term "คง" is the only way to find the word which is not going to make sense. How come the word which mean "might" return a result with the word meaning "survive" ? > ThaiAnalyzer fail to tokenize word. > ----------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-4253 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4253 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: modules/analysis > Affects Versions: Realtime Branch > Environment: Windows 7 SP1. > Java 1.7.0-b147 > Reporter: Nattapong Sirilappanich > > Method > protected TokenStreamComponents createComponents(String,Reader) > return a component that unable to tokenize Thai word. > The current return statement is: > return new TokenStreamComponents(source, new StopFilter(matchVersion, result, stopwords)); > My experiment is change the return statement to: > return new TokenStreamComponents(source, result); > It give me a correct result. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Gamora is the most dangerous woman in the galaxy and a key component of the film's plot. But you won't see her on backpacks or towels or clothing for kids. Want Gamora on a shirt? You're out of luck. Kids' retailers are putting the Guardians of the Galaxy T- shirts in the boy's sections, and they're removing Gamora from the lineup.
Here's the Disney Store's "tee for boys" featuring all of the Guardians except Gamora. Because ew, girls.
The assumption that boys don't want to play with female heroes has got to go. Heroes like Black Widow, Wonder Woman and Gamora shouldn't be erased so that boys don't accidentally get girl stuff on them. Girls and boys should be able to find just as many girl superheroes as boy superheroes on toys and clothing. Otherwise we're giving kids the message that female heroes are different and less than male heroes.
For those boys and girls who are wondering where the hell Gamora is, we've collected the best the only Gamora toys out there. Yep. This is it. This is all 6 things.
Preordered sets of Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes figures feature Gamora and Star Lord. (Toys R Us, $36)
Don't be fooled by the photo, you can actually order a Gamora figure individually. (Think Geek, $24)
Let's just ignore the fact that they call this bobble-head Gamora figure "glam guardian." (Disney Store, $10)
Gamora has a cool weapon in this set, but you have to purchase her along with Star Lord. (Disney Store, $8)
If you want a Gamora mini figurine you have to buy seven guys with her. (Luke's Toy Store, $32)
Apparently this huge Guardians of the Galaxy LEGO set includes a tiny Gamora minifigure. (The LEGO Store, $75)
Do you think toy companies and clothing companies should offer more Gamora merchandise?

Heeb is a humor magazine for young hip jewish people, and I was asked to be in the "germany" issue. I always thought Hitler had some extreme self loathing about not being "male enough", and i thought it was funny to show him in housewife drag. After all, the german housefraus loved the guy and did whatever he told them to do. They were falling all over themselves, screaming in the streets as if he were a rockstar, pressing their children to him for a kiss, as he exiled them back into the kitchen and out of the professions, and blamed everything on "liberals".
Hitler served the german industrialists who put him in power, as if he were their little housefrau. When they thought they could turn a buck by cooking and gassing their minority groups, he helped set up their lines of federal credit to do so.
I thought that Hitler in drag making jew cookies was a very accurate way of depicting the whole German Gestalt. Also, I hate Hitler, because he thought that artists should be censored. I also hate everyone else who thinks that way.

Top MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither, Tuvar & Baddrah 2-pack
1 Stratos
I got mine late because of a Matty Credit card fiasco. I got it in February but forgot to post what I got.
Lipster Heroic Warrior
ok, so if you include the 3 subs above my post (not added to the numbers yet), members posting in this thread account for 485 subscriptions! I don't know the total number of subs sold by Matty, but this has to account for a HUGE chunk! Add in all of the ORG members who don't have subs (cherry pick like me) and you could see how Matty not only should be watching this site like a hawk, but posting in here more often to keep the fan presence up.
The point is, the ORG does have a HUGE influence on the line, so if we band together, we could seriously get more of what we want (as long as it fits into some of the logistics and we aren't jerks about it). My first thought is a 6-figure Re-release mini sub!
Take it easy,
Looking for: deals on MOTUC Roboto, King He-Man, Meckaneck, Zoar (from Sorceress) and more!
Have to trade: A couple MOTU vintage, GIJOE (vintage 3.75 inch and 25th Anniversary figures and vehicles), Star Wars, Transformers (movie line), and Marvel Universe and a few Marvel Legends, plus MORE!.

Top MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither, Tuvar & Baddrah 2-pack
I got Buzz Off.
Updated again....bzzzzz
Top MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither, Tuvar & Baddrah 2-pack
I apologize if I posted this already - not that anyone cares but me.
I got BuzzOff for my F5 (Frosta Forearm Fiasco Free Figure!), traded here for a MerMan and then paid a talented customizing artist (also here on the Org) to recard him with the cardback head. So now I have a basic one with the old toy head MOC and the cardback version MOC with "The Original!" burst. Very happy!
Said artist also recarded a Trap Jaw as Kronis and is now working on a single carded BA Faker for me. Super nice guy!
What is considered the minimum order for production is 5000, they can go into production numbers lower but the cost doesn't change for the order.
We know BBTS has about 100 subs and I seriously doubt they will be posting what all the got here. For one it would clue people into how many subs they actually have. Many orgers don't post in posts like this, or really participate in discussion you might surprised how many still lurk the site citing reasons like the email sign up or just don't care to post.
According to .org polls and posts filmation based figures should be doing extremely well but based on sales they haven't done that well (of course actual production numbers aren't known).
All this post does it shows a tally of people who posted here. In reality (unlikely) it could be Merman was the one short packed it's just he ended up with more .orgers that posted here then MOTUC collectors who didn't post here.

Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
Why are 200 built cars sitting in storage? At this stage, its hard to make an engineering change to the car. If I was a large stock holder at GM, I would have heads rolling knowing that 200 sold cars are just sitting around why the company is desperate for cash.

Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
Usually executives will drive the first 200 or so cars for several months then these cars will be released to dealers after about 6 months.
Frist gen CTS was released to the public January 2, 2002 as a 2003 model. Summer of 2002 i saw and executive car at my dealer(remember the orange color?) with a November 2001 build date. - 11-12-08 07:43 PM #18
Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
I was one of the fortunate few invited to the Monticello Motor Club last weekend. This is a far better car in handling, power and creature comforts than my neighbors 2008 V10 M5 and with $35K left over. I was hooked. I dropped into my local, friendly Caddy dealer Monday morning and bought the first car coming to his store. Paying MSRP for manual transmission with Recaros, Nav and roof.

Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
I also attended the Monticello event. All the cars handle very well in the rain. I drove the manual V and found the shifter to be positioned too far to the rear however, I wouldn't hesitate buying an automatic. My local dealer has no information on pricing and availability.
Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
Just for S&G's I looked and there are currently 39 ZR1's sitting on dealer lots unsold as of today. You should see how many '08 & '09 ZO6's are sitting on lots right now!
If the economy keeps on this downward spiral I foresee heavy discounts on the new V before too long just like the deals currently offered on the 'Vette's...
Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
It appears the ZR1's are going to sit there a while. every one I have seen is being offered at 30k & up OVER sticker.
Problem is I don't know if I would come off (invoioce Z06) 71k for a ZR1. I know 71k would be a freekin good deal for a ZR1 but right now I would probably pass on buying it.
That right there is the problem car companies are having trouble.. - 11-17-08 12:06 PM #23
Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
The economy doesn't need to spiral down any further for customers to find deals on a CTS-V. I wouldn't correlate the number of ZR1s on the lot with how sales of the new V will go too much. Also, according to the guys on the corvetteforum, most of those listed on that site are sold (no way of knowing if that's true).
The new V has strong selling points, now that it's the top dog in the high performance sedan segment. It's also priced much lower than the competition and looks, better but the overall economy will keep sales lower than they would have been last year.
If the dealers don't order any due to a fear of a lack of sales, then the price won't drop too much. I don't think that'll really happen because the CTS-V is Cadillac's flagship. It offers an auto and a ton of refinment, so I could see people buying this car because they see it as a high end V8 powered Cadillac - not just a high perfomance V.
I think it's funny that Cadillac has any cars priced above it, since it's head and shoulders above any other car they make (a short wheelbase Escalade Platinum with LED headlights is a sweet ride as well - wish they'd offer the hybrid powertrain in it....) - 11-17-08 01:52 PM #24
Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
I wasn't trying to correlate ZR1 sales with the CTS-V. I was just posting the numbers because before the ZR1 was actually released the word was the first half of the scheduled production run was already spoken for regardless of mark-ups... now look at all of them just sitting out there unsold. I'll bet they will be down to MSRP before the end of the 1st qtr '09.
Either way I'm still going to sit back and take a wait & see attitude on purchasing my V. I don't have to be the 1st , 2nd, or even the 3rd person on my block to own one. They will be discounted just like everything else currently sitting on GM lots, it's just a matter of time which is definitely on my side.
Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
If you want a "discount" you're probably not going to need to wait more than 1 month, if that. Then again, you can get a discount on any car being prodcued by any car manufacturer (including Ferrari). You know the old 2 year waiting list for a car like the F430? Well, now you can get one almost, immediately...

Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
I ordered my M5 without having driven one, in December of '99. Of course, we already had a '98 540i so it wasn't a completely new vehicle to me. We'd ordered it Euro Delivery so the first time I drove the car was in the driveway of the Munich delivery center.
I wouldn't order a new CTS-V without having at least driven a current CTS, which ought to be easy enough to do. Recaro hasn't yet built a seat that doesn't fit me reasonably well. If I do pop for a V, it's going to be a slushbox this time (I'm not a three-pedal purist) so I'm not quite so concerned about control efforts and pedal positions as I'd be with a manual-transmission car.
Right now, I'd like to see the markets get back a little ground first... - 11-17-08 09:20 PM #28
Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
A car is not a toaster. I don't make toast everyday, and if the toaster is shot, it is cheap to replace. A car is a major purchase, which requires a lot of thought (and money) to make.
That being said, I would NEVER buy a car without taking a test drive. It won't let me know every nuance of the driving experience, but I can determine whether or not I could live with my choice.
It's a little off topic, but I got to test drive an '08 CTS when it was still fairly new. My Deville was in for service and I struck up a conversation with one of the salesmen, and initially denied taking a ride because there was no way I would be buying that day and didn't want to waste hisw time. The service took longer than expected and next thing you know I was in the driver's seat. I didn't buy, but was surprised I got a test drive. Maybe it was a slow day? - 11-18-08 03:42 PM #29
Re: 09 CTS-V Test Drive
Thanks Bill- That was my experience when starting the thread, only I got the cold shoulder over the phone. The salesmen I spoke with were clearly not interested in giving me information or speaking with me about options and pricing. I was amazed at the lack of simple politeness. They both expected me to put a deposit down and order a car without seeing it or even knowing the price.
Then someone suggested, I'm not the type of buyer to buy a limited production car. I just wondered how many of you are that type of buyer. It appears there are several of each type of buyer in this forum which gives me comfort.
I know the economy is rough, especially here in Michigan, but everyone I know has a car if not two. The fact is they are buying cars, they are just not GM cars. I was amazed in this climate how I was treated when I basically called up and said, "I'd like to buy of V from you, can you give me some info?". I made the suggestion that this may be part of GM's problem and was blasted.
All that being said, I was invited to and Escalade Hybrid unveiling wine and cheese party tomorrow night and they are going to have a couple of Vs at the dealership. I will also wait for the hype to die down and either get GMS from a family member or wait for the discounts that are sure to come.
Kudos to you guys who buy the cars sight unseen and pay MSRP. I know what its like to want something and be unable to wait. But I for one enjoy my current car and have another I can drive until the price is right. In Michigan I'm only going to drive it 8 months anyway so I'm in no hurry.
Thanks for all the info.

Today the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology approved Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner's bill, H.R. 3199, by a vote of 19-7. This bill requires a comprehensive assessment of the scientific and technical research on the implications of fuel with more than 10 percent ethanol.
"I am pleased that the Committee voted today to put science before politics. When it comes to a decision of this magnitude that would impact every American who owns a car, boat, or lawnmower, we must base our decisions on sound science, not political expediency," Sensenbrenner said. "The Administration has fast tracked E15 without considering that increasing the percentage of ethanol in our gasoline will cause premature engine failure, lower fuel efficiency, and void vehicle warranties. In small engines, E15 is downright dangerous and the EPA has no credible plan to stop mis-fueling. If ethanol is going to be the "fuel of the future," then there should be no problem conducting independent, comprehensive scientific analysis of its effect on American drivers."

Many students of Bible prophecy do not know what to make of fundamental Islam or how it figures into the end-times scenario. Perhaps what will be shocking to many is the most traditional Protestant Bible scholars of old believed that an Islamic and not an exclusively European paradigm will categorize the end times.
Such a view was held by John Wesley, Hilaire Belloc, Gregory Palamus of Thessalonica, Josiah Litch, Cyril of Jerusalem, Sophronius, Maximus the Confessor, John of Damascus, Eulogius, Paul Alvarus, the Martyrs of Cordova, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards and Sir Robert Anderson, who all believed that Islamic nations will be the major players in the end times.
In 1840, in his book The Three Woe Trumpets: Fall of the Ottoman Empire, Litch described the magnitude of Islam's role in the Antichrist system and claimed that his view was the "general agreement among Christians, especially Protestant commentators."
Though Luther believed that the papacy would play a spiritual part, he also believed the Islamic nations would take the role of the Antichrist (Tischreden, Weimer ed., 1, No. 300). Islam's own eschatology mirrors and makes holy what the Antichrist does.
According to Islamic belief, the Muslims must destroy Israel and must receive a mark on their foreheads, and their Messiah (the Mahdi) will usher in seven years of peace and change set times and set laws. Muslims worldwide are set up to receive what the Bible calls Antichrist.
What students of prophecy miss is that the revival of a Roman Empire never meant a revival of an exclusively European Empire. Take North Africa (Put or Phut), which encompasses five Muslim nations that were historically part of the Western wing of the Roman Empire. And what about Turkey (Lydia), the eastern wing, which is also mentioned literally in several end-time references?
In order for the exclusively European model to fit, the whole of this Muslim region must be irrelevant. So what part of the Roman pie do we slice off, and what parts do we include? The European Union today mushroomed into 27 nations, all in the West, which caused many to altogether lose interest in Bible prophecy.
Jamieson Fausset & Brown insist that "the ten toes are not upon one foot (the West), as these interpretations require, but on the two (east and west) together, so that any theory which makes the 10 kingdoms belong to the west alone must err." But does this error mean we abandon Bible prophecy? Or would we do better to adhere to the rules of hermeneutics?
Students of prophecy should answer a simple question: Besides the argument over Magog being Russia, can anyone cite a literal reference to any nation God destroys in the end times that is not today Muslim? Only if one ponders this question is it possible to grasp its magnitude.
During a lecture I gave to a group of prominent Bible prophecy teachers, I asked this questioned and no one answered. In frustration, I pointed to one of my favorite biblical archeology and prophecy teachers, Dr. Randall Price, and asked him to respond. He said, "We can't find any." Grant Jeffrey, another of my favorite prophecy authors, once attempted to respond with "Cush" (Ethiopia), not realizing that biblical Cush is defined in the Unger Bible Dictionary as a landmass "south of Egypt". Today this would be Sudan and Somalia; both today are fundamentalist Muslim nations.
Even in every portrayal of Christ's return to fight the Antichrist, all the nations He fights are today Muslim. The significance of this truth is striking-scholars are unanimous in stating that Christ will come to destroy the Antichrist and establish His millennium kingdom.
The European Union model has the Muslim hordes destroyed before the tribulation period. Yet the text leaves no doubt that Messiah Himself deals with Muslim nations. Read the description of the day of the Lord in Ezekiel 30:3-5, particularly verse 5: "Cush [Sudan] and Put [North Africa], Lydia [Turkey] and all Arabia, Libya and the people of the covenant land will by the sword along with Egypt" (NIV). Today all the countries listed in this verse are Muslim nations. It isn't that the Bible forgot to warn us; it is that we forgot to read the warning from the Bible.
Walid Shoebat (shoebat.com) is a former Muslim terrorist who came to Christ in 1993. He is the author of Why I Left Jihad, Why We Want to Kill You and God's War on Terror. He speaks regularly at universities, churches, conferences, civic events and in the media concerning the real causes of terrorism.

Malmsjo/Johnsson win 31st Round Texel Race
by Event media on 8 Jun 2008
Texel winner 2008 - ©Lisa Wildeman . ©
On Saturday, Kristian Malmsjö and Pontus Johnsson from Sweden won the 31st Zwitserleven Round Texel Race. Xander Pols and Tjiddo Veenstra (NED) took the line honours for the second year in row. They needed 3 hours, 44 minutes and 44 seconds to steer their M20 around the island.
Saturday morning, a fleet of 500 beach catamarans lined up for an impressive and eventful start. The strong current pushed many teams early over the line, but the race committee made a procedure error in the starting sequence. That is why nobody got disqualified, except for Wouter Samama and Paul Buyse (NED). They were the very first finishers, but sailed the wrong course.
Only a few minutes prior to the start at 10 AM, a huge crowd of coloured sails gathered at the beach side of the starting line. As it was a beautiful sunny summer day, many spectators came to the Texel beach and witnessed an exciting set off. At five minutes, the race committee hoisted the black flag that was supposed to be hoisted at four minutes.
Wouter Samama and Paul Buyse (NED), sailing an Extreme 20, pulled on their sheet with one minute to go. Since the flags determine the procedure, the Dutchmen could not be disqualified. The same is true for all the other boats, being pushed over the line early by the strong tide. By then, the north-eastern breeze was maybe five knots strong and started to pick up in the afternoon.
Battle for line honours
The top finishers had different tactics for the first leg towards the light house, as Dercksen and Bulkely sailed off hundred meters below the beachside starting vessel (windward). They went for clean air and carried on, while Xander Pols and Tjiddo Veenstra and other front runners went inshore.
Dercksen: 'Once we tacked back, we crossed about 120 meters behind them, so we lost quite a bit in the beginning.' Pols and Veenstra stayed close to shore. Pols: 'If you have a good start, you are off. Especially with this boat. It was just great. We had some difficulties on our way to the VC-buoy, as we were very cautious. Last year, we lost a dagger board on that lap. But after we could hoist the spinnaker, we gained again.' However, it was the Swedish M20, crewed by Kristian Malmsjö and Pontus Johnsson, that entered the Wadden Sea in second position.
Wouter Samama and Paul Buyse were flying towards the VC-buoy, where they were first to hoist the spinnaker. According to the race committee on location, the blue Extreme 20 made a small short cut after rounding the VC. They were supposed to leave the two remaining yellow buoys at starboard, which they did not. As a result, the Dutchmen got disqualified for not sailing the course according to the rules. Samama disagreed and handed in a protest, which they lost.
Meanwhile, the top M20's continued the fight. Malmsjö/Johnsson took over the official lead, followed by Pols/Veenstra and Dercksen/Bulkely. It was not until the south of Texel, at two third of the race, that the Dutch carbon 20-feet cats could catch up on the Swedish duo. Malmsjö: 'That is where we lost the game, because they stayed close to shore and we choose the seaside. I think that is local knowledge, but it was a fantastic race.' It certainly was for them, since Malmsjö/Johnsson sailed fast enough to beat everybody else on handicap.
Entering the North Sea, Pols and Veenstra went as far as possible to the beach. Pols: 'We took many risks by doing so. We even tacked in between two shore breakers, which paid off well. That was the golden move, as we extended our lead. It was a beautiful race and it feels great to beat Olympic sailors.' Mark Bulkely (GBR) enjoyed the competition as well: 'It was more a race than the other editions I did, with interesting beats and gibing duels.'
Not all boats made the 1 PM deadline at the light house, so they returned to the beach at Paal 17, where they met the first finishing teams.
Podium on handicap
Reindert-Jan van der Meulen and Carina Knol, sailing a Capricorn, are the only F18 sailors that made it to a podium finish on handicap. They ended second overall.
Van der Meulen: 'At the start it was guessing what would be the best side of the course. We decided to go to the seaside. Initially, it did not look right, but it turned out to be pretty good. We were third F18 at the light house and overtook Mischa on our way to the VC-buoy.'
Van der Meulen seemed to be surprised about their downwind performance: 'This season, we have struggled on the run, but we had good speed today. We switched to a Hobie spinnaker and that seems to work well. After having hoisted the kite, we took the F18 lead pretty soon and kept it. I am very happy.'
Carina Knol is also the fastest woman at this year's Zwitserleven Round Texel Race. Knol: 'It is slowly sinking in that we are second overall. During the race, I thought something had to go wrong, but fortunately it did not happen.' Göran Marström, builder of the M20, Tornado and Extreme 40, and his crew Thomas Petersson (SWE) won bronze.
Top five overall Zwitserleven Round Texel Race 2008:
SWE - Malmsjö/Johnsson, M20
NED – Van der Meulen/Knol, F18 Capricorn
SWE – Marström/Petersson, M20
FRA – Mourniac/Citeau, F19 Hobie Tiger
FRA – Morvan/Vaireaux, F18
After six years of enthusiastic sponsorship, Zwitserleven will remain the title sponsor of worlds' biggest Cat Race for another two editions. This afternoon in a sunny pit lane, Eliot Schuchart, Communications Manager at Zwitserleven, announced the continuation of partnership. Schuchart: 'We will closely work together withthe organisation and Zwitserleven will closely work together to unfold new activities. In addition, they will work on the publicity side of the Zwitserleven Round Texel Race.
Besides from Zwitserleven, the Round Texel Race is also sponsored by TNG Swiss Watches, Repeat Sales Promotions, W&H/Liebherr, Yamaha Nederland, Nissan, Bizzmark, Teso, VVV Texel, de Mondriaan Onderwijsgroep, Rabobank, de Meeuw, Zeilen, Texeler, Stiehl Entertainment and Paal-17 Events.

I am a non-denominational minister that specializes in wedding services that are typically held within a church setting, but at a place of your choosing. Often, people wish to be married at a place other than a church; however, most ministers that are affiliated with a church will not perform wedding ceremonies at any place but their own church.
It is my intention to offer you a memorable wedding that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime. Typically weddings that I perform are Christian in nature; however, for those who are Non-Christian, I can tailor a wedding to your specific cultural background.

With passionate basketball fans gearing up for an exciting tournament season, it's an ideal time for brands to capitalize on these events to reach massive audiences through strategic campaigns. With that in mind, here are three key tips to help marketers win big and engage fans this season.
Lin Pophal
Aug 17, 2011
There is little room for debate: The introduction of the iPad has changed the computing environment irrevocably. It's a device that is rapidly breaking down the barriers between the traditional desktops, laptops, and mobile devices and significantly impacting how-and where-consumers access information. As a consequence, another trend is also emerging: the move from the wide-open web to semi-closed platforms that use the internet for transport but not the browser for display.
"It's driven primarily by the rise of the iPhone model of mobile computing, and it's a world Google can't crawl and one where HTML doesn't rule," says Chad Lieberman, digital media specialist with 5W Public Relations in New York. Consumers are increasingly choosing this world, he says, not because they're rejecting the idea of the web but because these dedicated platforms often just work better or fit better into their lives. "The fact that it's easier for companies to make money on these platforms only cements the trend," he says.
The proliferation of apps has been one of the first outcomes of this shift. According to Forrester, activity in this area has exploded in the past 24 months. Apple has 350,000 apps, and Android counters with more than 150,000. Forrester estimates that the revenue from paid applications on smartphones and tablets was $2.2 billion worldwide for 2010. Cell phones and apps have both been around for years, so why the sudden interest? A number of reasons, Forrester suggests, but one key driver has been the ability to add context to content.
Peggy Anne Salz is chief analyst and founder of MSearchGroove (MSG), a firm that produces and markets thought leadership for the mobile industry. There's a great deal of "app versus web" discussion right now, says Salz, but she doesn't see this as an either/or proposition. She says there are some definite distinctions between what makes sense for an app and what makes sense for the web.
With an ever-growing list of mobile devices such as tablets and web-connected e-readers, the challenges of preparing for the post-desktop web increase. Organizations not only have to think about mobile-optimized sites, but they also need to provide context for their users. It can be a daunting task. Those who are already moving in this direction and the service providers who offer the tools to make it happen note that the basic principles of communication remain the same-understanding user needs and delivering the most appropriate experience to meet those needs, regardless of the device or platform they're on.

Whoa! Holy entertainment. It's so cool how you can hardly even see a human in there in the 3rd and 4th shots!
A woman who I talk to at the bus stop in the mornings is beginning to train to do this. Who knew this was so popular?
I still have not learned how to hoop dance!

Very cool! Did you try it? I can think of a few circus attractions I might be interested in training for, but the fire spinning probably would not be one of them. I think we'd make excellent carnies, Ellie. I'm coming with you.

TRENDnet First to Offer a Full 450Mbps Wireless Product Family
TORRANCE, Calif.-September 2, 2011-TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless networking hardware brand, demonstrates today from IFA Berlin, a full line of 450Mbps Wireless solutions.
Other brands may currently offer 450Mbps wireless routers, however users need a 450Mbps client adapter in order to realize the promised 450Mbps throughput speeds. Most computers with integrated wireless are rated at 150Mbps. When connecting to a 450Mbps router, the respective computer's connection speed will be bottlenecked at a slow 150Mbps. TRENDnet is currently the only brand to offer a selection of 450Mbps routers and adapters needed to build a fully integrated high performance 450Mbps network.
450Mbps Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N Router Model TEW-692GR TRENDnet's 450Mbps Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N Router is the first router to support 450Mbps speeds on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands at the same time. This router's raw horsepower redefines wireless networking as we know it, to easily stream HD video through the home. Gigabit Wide Area Network and Local Area Network ports transfer wired data fast. Embedded GREENnet technology reduces port-based power consumption by up to 70%.
The TEW-692GR comes with a 3-year limited warranty and is currently available from online and retail partners.
450Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router Model TEW-692GR
This was the very first 450Mbps router launched to market-a full four months ahead of competing offerings. This router's raw horsepower seamlessly streams HD movies to your entertainment center, transfers content from countless users, and generates record wireless coverage. Gigabit Wide Area Network and Local Area Network ports transfer wired data fast. Embedded GREENnet technology reduces power consumption by up to 70%.
The TEW-691GR comes with a 3-year limited warranty and is currently available from online and retail partners.
450Mbps Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter Model TEW-684UB
This is the first adapter which upgrades laptop or desktop connectivity to never before seen 450Mbps wireless speeds. Computers purchased with integrated wireless are most often outfitted with either 150Mbps Wireless N or even slower 54Mbps Wireless G technology-which bottlenecks performance to 150Mbps or 54Mbps respectively. TRENDnet's TEW-684UB is the first wireless USB adapter that has the capability of connecting to a router at 450Mbps speeds. The TEW-684UB comes with a 3-year limited warranty and is currently available from online and retail partners.
450Mbps Wireless N Gaming Adapter Model TEW-687GA
TRENDnet's first to market 450Mbps Wireless N Gaming Adapter, model TEW-687GA, networks gaming consoles, televisions, and NVRs to the Internet with an ultra-high performance 450Mbps wireless connection. Setup is quick and simple, with no drivers to install and a Gigabit Ethernet port transfers wired data fast.
The TEW-687GA comes with a 3-year limited warranty and is currently available from online and retail partners.
