This week I decided to build a full functioning bear trap based on images found on Google.
I worked out in theory how the mechanism should work for the trap, and then spent hours CAD up the parts to fit together nicely with the right tolerance, so the springs and latches will work smoothly.
Result? The teeth bite FAST!
The only downside of printing with ABS is that the 2 side arms break after me playing with it too many times. No worries though. I've designed it the way so they can be easily replaced with new springy arms. Next lot I'll print them with rubber-like ABS. That should last me a while!

*UPDATE - new STL files have been uploaded with minor adjustments on tolerance and build plate arrangement.
Version 2 have been uploaded - with wider base and modified springy arms for better stability. Jaws have also been modified so they close up better.
The screws will need some sanding to make the trigger latch rotate smoothly. The less friction at the pivot the faster the teeth bite.
The tiny piece of springy thingie underneath the trigger plate will need to be glued at the right angle. Some adjustments required after assembling the trap.

Is there any way we could get the "parts" separated? I need to do some scaling to get the pins to fit, but they are all going different directions.
the pins and clasps don't print properly on a Printrbot Simple Makers. The largest (rounded) I could print it at was 80%. So I instead used 14 GA. Wire, and that works nicely.
Tolerances don't work with ABS on a Makerbot.. This doesn't fit together too well. The big parts are fine, but the small parts should be printed in PLA (and probably smaller than they are made here.)
Anyone know why one of our 'jaws' sits up at a slight angle? Look through all the 'Made' photos and most do, but not all of them?
Does this have to be made with the flexible filament?
I think both ABS and PLA will work well. I printed with rubber like ABS which is very flexible but doesn't have the same strength as the normal ones. The more rigid it is the faster it bounces up. Not too sure if this design can be printed on Z Corp type of printers tho.

Joking aside, Nice work!
I wish we could print this in metal, those young'in's on mah lawns could use a trapping.
This has invalid geometry according to slic3r! When it auto-fixes it, it
Hi, I haven't had any problem printing them on my UP Plus... every STL file should be watertight and print ready. There have been a few people who made the traps without problems. Which file did you have trouble with?
The base. It could be the new version of Slic3r but I don't know. Importing into Solidworks is also an issue as it won't let me export it as an STL due to bad geometry. Hmm...
Base V3 uploaded. I've removed the round bit on the lever. Give it a go. Thanks
Thank you, but still not working. It says it has self-intersecting or overlapping geometry. It's only the cross-shaped base part. When I slice it, my printing software only reads the g code as the vertical parts and not the flat base.
Hmmm I'm not really familiar with Slic3r or g code, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. I've printed 3 sets of traps and there was not problem at all... perhaps someone else who had printed these parts successfully with Slic3r can help?!
How do you print the base? One of the levers (the one with the round piece) is floating in mid air! :)
Hi I printed them exactly how the files were set up. The printing software generates support under the lever with no problem. I use UP Plus printer. There're others who've made the traps already and I haven't heard anyone mention they had problem printing it. Thanks
Oh no!!! New Zealand Customs took my Bear Trap - even though it wasn't in the carry on luggage! Drat, will have to print out the new version anyway! I guess they don't want Bear Grylls to get caught by it. :)
That's crazy! Maybe they took it because they wanted to play with it on their dull working days! :p
I've got it all printed out but I'm running into a problem where it won't lie flat when engaged. The square hole on the springs appears to be too large and is causing the springs to slip under the trap. I'll post a photo when I get a chance.
Thanks for your feedback and posting photos of your printed model. Please feel free to rework the base or springs to improve the trap. As you can see in my photos above, the trap I made seemed to stay flat quite easily. It maybe because your springs are stronger? Thanks
I'll give it shot and let you know.
Adding lips to the base will help stop the springs from slipping under the base that's for sure. I can make that change today. I'll also reduce the size of the square holes slightly. Stay tuned. :)
Version 2 uploaded. Thanks
Well that should work! Thanks for looking into it and fixing it.
Thanks for the feedback. It's better to finalise a design to perfection than do a half-ass job. :D
I'm wondering if the springs had square holes instead of round holes if they could be printed without support? Or if the holes were offset or something? Maybe I'll just think more about this after I actually get the thing printed.
I understand what you're saying about the support, but I thought aesthetically it looked better with curved edges than straight edges, hence the elevated prints with support. :)
It does look more authentic that's for sure. I'm starting to print one now. I'll post some pics when finished. I think this thing is worthy of being featured for sure!
Is there anyway you could upload the pieces separately? The plates don't quite fit on my Thing-O-Matic 120x120 build plate.
I will work on that today. Is it just the bigger pieces you wanted separated?
It would appear only that one plate with the springs is the only one I'd need separated.
I've uploaded the new files to fit smaller build plate now. Let me know if that works for you.
They look good! It appears they will now fit fine on my HBP. I'll have to give this thing a shot! Thanks for your assistance. Also having the springs apart like that will make it easier to print replacements if necessary.
really great design! I really like the way you created the screwlike connections.
Thanks for your positive feedback! I do try to come up with designs that's 100% 3D printed without using real screws and other type of fasteners.

text: On Sunday, 398 opponents of the proposed Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline were arrested in front of the White House in what could be the largest youth sit-in on the environment in a generation. Students from more than 80 colleges rallied at Georgetown University and then marched to the White House, wearing mock "hazmat suits" and holding banners with slogans like "Keep your oil out of my soil" and "Even Voldemort hates tar sands." President Obama is expected to issue a decision in the next few months on the pipeline, which would transport 830,000 barrels of crude every day from Alberta's oil sands to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. We speak to American University student Deirdre Shelly about why she was arrested on Sunday and the growing student-led movement to convince universities, colleges and cities to divest from fossil fuel companies.

I have no doubt that during any other administration, this sort of thing would never have happened without serious consequences…
Addicting Info
Joel Thomson is a Technical Sergeant for the United States Air Force. Joel Thomson has a captivating smile, lively blue eyes and an apparent love for animals. Joel Thomson really hates his Commander-in-Chief, enough to call him a Muslim and far worse, the son of Satan. How do I know this about Joel Thomson? It's no secret. In fact, he brags about it on his very public Facebook page. He is so vehement in his hatred of his boss that no fewer than four people, including the page, Americans Against the Tea Party, have forwarded us Thomson's profile, asking that he be exposed.
Here are just a few screenshots from Thomson's page, which seems to be dedicated almost entirely to his hatred of the President:
Not surprisingly, Thomson is supportive of US Marine Sergeant, Gary Stein who has been accused of very similar offenses. From the Global Post:
A disciplinary board has recommended that a US Marine who criticized President Barack Obama on Facebook should be dismissed.
The three-member panel advised that Sgt. Gary Stein should receive an "other than honorable" discharge after an all-day hearing at Camp Pendleton yesterday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Stein is accused of undermining "good order and discipline" by posting comments critical of the commander-in-chief on a number of Facebook pages. According to the LA Times, he called Obama a coward and an enemy and urged people to vote against him in this year's election.
And he stated he would not follow orders from the president if he considered them "unlawful."
Stein is arguing that his opinions are his own and because he is stating them as his opinions, and not as the opinion of the military, he is protected by his first amendment rights.
I don't think that anyone is denying Stein or Thomson the right to their opinions, but opinions can go too far when they serve to undermine the authority of their Commander-in-Chief. They call their Commander-in-Chief a traitor yet hide behind the first amendment when they are called the same. It's one thing to have an opinion about policy, it's quite another to post inflammatory lies, such as calling the President the son of Satan. If fact, it's spelled out quite clearly in the Uniform Code of Military Justice:
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
Any person subject to this chapter who behaves with disrespect toward his superior commissioned officer shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
When Sergeant Thomson enlisted in the military, he agreed to a certain set of rules. One of those rules is to be respectful to his superiors, even if he disagrees with them. For that reason, he's subject to disciplinary actions. If Thomson really hates his boss that much, perhaps he should consider a new career.

Bennington Grange was a civil parish between 1858 and 1931 and was part of Claypole Rural District from 1894 until 1931. When abolished it was merged with Long Bennington parish. The area is now part of the South Kesteven District of Lincolnshire, England.
Research Tips
Lincolnshire is very low-lying and land had to be drained for agriculture to be successful. The larger drainage channels, many of which are parallel to each other, became boundaries between parishes. Many parishes are long and thin for this reason.
There is much fenland in Lincolnshire, particularly in the Boston and Horncastle areas. Fenlands tended to be extraparochial before the mid 1850s, and although many sections were identified with names and given the title "civil parish", little information has been found about them. Many appear to be abolished in 1906, but the parish which adopts them is not given in A Vision of Britain through Time. Note the WR category Lincolnshire Fenland Settlements which is an attempt to organize them into one list.
From 1889 until 1974 Lincolnshire was divided into three administrative counties: Parts of Holland, Parts of Kesteven and Parts of Lindsey. These formal names do not fit with modern grammatical usage, but that is what they were, nonetheless. In 1974 the northern section of Lindsey, along with the East Riding of Yorkshire, became the short-lived county of Humberside. In 1996 Humberside was abolished and the area previously in Lincolnshire was made into the two "unitary authorities" of North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. The remainder of Lincolnshire was divided into "non-metropolitan districts" or "district municipalities" in 1974. Towns, villages and parishes are all listed under Lincolnshire, but the present-day districts are also given so that places in this large county can more easily be located and linked to their wider neighbourhoods. See the WR placepage Lincolnshire, England and the smaller divisions for further explanation.

Yes do point me to where the check for deriving(Typeable) is awkard to test against AutoDeriveTypeable.

I add the instances in line 319 of TcDeriv. It's easy to add them here, because I just need to
produce a simple DerivDecl. However, checking if there are instances defined already is
 cumbersome, because I'd have to look at both the inst_decls and the deriv_decls, while
being careful to keep duplicates, because those are "real" errors.

In general, I find it hard to extract the class and type from an InstDecl or a DerivDecl, because
 these are just HsTypes in the end, so I'd have to go deconstruct the HsType and hope it would
have the right shape. But maybe there are some auxiliary functions that I missed?

Thanks,

Maybe the recent winds have blown your old, rotten wood fence down, or maybe you have new neighbors and you realize you now need a tall privacy fence so you don't have to watch the guy sunbathe in his Speedo.
Or maybe you are tired of fence maintenance in general and want a fence that remains sturdy and good looking without any effort on your part.
According to John Sloan of John Sloan Fencing in Agua Dulce, vinyl could be your solution.
Vinyl is becoming the most popular fencing option for most homeowners.
But you can still get a good fence in wood, wrought iron or chain link.
And now thare is a new composite material.
It all depends on the conditions, terrain and your budget.
Sloan has been putting fences, animal pens and even elephant enclosures up all around the SCV for 27 years, and he knows what will work and what won't for each set of conditions.
Vinyl lasts
Vinyl has a number of advantages over other fencing materials. But Sloan cautioned that you need to go with a contractor that has the proper tools and expertise to install it correctly. (For the record, those tools are very expensive.)
As indicated on the Sloan Fencing website: "Unlike common wood fencing, vinyl fencing material is guaranteed for life, with virtually no maintenance required.
Vinyl fencing will withstand exposure to high temperatures, humidity, rain, snow and wind. It will not crack, chip or peel. It never requires painting. It will not 'rot out' like wood when exposed to prolonged overwatering.
The only maintenance required is to wash it off with your garden hose if it gets splashed with mud or dirt. (Sloan even said crayon scribbles can be washed off with common household soap).
"Vinyl fencing is extremely sturdy. To date, we have not had one incident of children or livestock 'breaking out' of a yard fenced in vinyl, although we have done a repair or two when someone tried to drive their SUV through it. (Sloan added that if a 1,000 pound horse jumps on vinyl fencing, it's going down.)
"Add a layer of 2" x 4" welded wire or chain link to your vinyl ranch rail fence and keep your pets in and unwanted 'guests' out. We can also add 'pool legal' chain link/wire and you'll have a safe and beautiful enclosure for your backyard swimming pool and keep your inspector happy at the same time.
"Vinyl fencing is available in many styles and in several different color choices — ranch rail, picket, full privacy, semi-privacy, banisters, awnings, gazebos, decks, patio covers, benches, planters, mail boxes and more."Delete - Merge Upbodycopy
Different grades
Sloan said that the cost of vinyl fencing varies depending on the type, but it is "within dollars" of the cost of quality wood fencing, and emphasized "vinyl is guaranteed for life."
"But there are different grades of vinyl," he said. "The cheap kind will yellow or sag in a year. Spend a few dollars more to buy something you'll never have a problem with."
Sloan said that the price of installed vinyl fencing runs about $10 per linear foot for two-rail, $12 to $18 for three-rail (the most popular type), $16 to $20 for three-rail with welded wire, and on up to $35 to $45 per linear foot for privacy or picket styles.
"I think the economy is keeping prices down," Sloan said. "While costs for some things, such as fuel, are up, costs for other things, such as cement, are down."
Sloan said fewer customers are requesting wood fences these days, but it is still a good option. Wood fencing will run anywhere from $30 to $40 per linear foot, depending on the type of wood, the quality of the wood and how high the fence is.
He noted that using thicker redwood is better, as it will warp less than thinner wood, and that the wood used in the frame should be good quality as well, for the same reason.
Sloan said redwood fencing can last as many as 30 years or as few as five (average 10 to 15 years), depending on the conditions.
If your sprinklers are constantly soaking your fence, the lifespan will be shortened significantly.
Wrought iron
Wrought-iron fencing will cost from $35 to $45 per linear foot, depending on what you want. Sloan said a wrought iron fence, four-feet tall, with top and bottom rails, runs about $25 to $30 per linear foot if it is straight.
"If you start curving it, it's going to add $5 a foot," he said. "With any fence, anything you add to the basic design will add to the price."
As with wood, the lifespan of wrought iron depends on the conditions and the quality of wrought iron installed.
If the iron is constantly getting wet from sprinklers, or being splashed with pool water, it will rust away faster.
If the posts sit in water they can "rot out" from the inside.
Sloan said the average lifespan of wrought iron is 10 to 15 years, and that rolling gates are usually made of it.
Chain link
Sloan said chain link fencing runs about $14 to $20 per linear foot for a five foot tall fence.
"The material is going to make a difference," he added.
The thickness of the wire, or the gauge of the wire, is the determining factor.
He said the standard gauge for residential applications is 11. But for schools and water catch basins the thicker nine-gauge is used.
Chain link is often the best material to use for fencing in rugged terrain. But, as with wrought iron and wood, chain link can be damaged by constant exposure to water.
Where things are relatively dry it lasts a long time, maintenance-free.
"We've got some out there 25 to 30 years," Sloan said.
Post holes
While you might not think about post holes and reinforcing when you make your fence plans, Sloan explained why post installation is important.
"The average post hole is going to be two feet deep," he said. But he added that the soil makes a difference. With sandy soil you have to go deeper.
"How big around the hole is depends on what you are putting in," he said. For chain link posts the hole is usually six inches wide. For 4"x4" wood or 5"x5" vinyl, the hole is usually eight inches wide.
Sloan said that most fence posts need cement in the hole, but there are two methods of applying it. With wrought iron and chain link posts, you mix the concrete beforehand and pour it into the post hole around the post.
With vinyl and wood, Sloan usually uses the "dry pack" method, which shoves the concrete out into the soil and makes a bell-shape that provides more stability. (Sloan noted that he explained this "dry packing" last time we did this story, and this tip is the thing most people remembered.)
For vinyl gate posts, Sloan said he also fills the inside of the post with concrete and rebar. This provides greater support for the gate.
Animal pens
"I do a lot of animal enclosures," Sloan said. He said that typically this is for horses and dogs, "but I've fenced elephants, kangaroos, monkeys, lions, tigers and bears."
He noted that deer can do some damage. "A deer will take nine-gauge chain link and make a pretzel out of it, twisting it with its horns," he said.
And he related one incident where a bear, using one paw, twisted up six-gauge chain link, which is about as thick as a pencil.
Composite fencing
Sloan said a new fence material is becoming more popular, and people are using it quite a bit for outdoor decks. "It's the new kid on the block. I don't know much about it, so have stayed away from it," he said. But he added that Home Depot and Lowe's are carrying it. The material is a composite that appears like redwood, and Sloan said people like it because of its dark color. But he noted that only time will tell whether or not that dark color fades.

George F. Grammer
George F. Grammer, 87, passed away in Dallas, Texas on Sunday, December 30, 2012. George was born in Bardwell, Texas on June 12, 1925 to George and Bessie Grammer, Sr. and was the eldest of four children. He grew up in Bardwell, and graduated from Bardwell High School. He met his beautiful bride Mildred Ruth Hearron on the school bus one morning. As he put it, he was just minding his own business when she sat down next to him and proceeded to strike up a conversation. As she put it, she had noticed his big blue eyes and his "handsomeness" for weeks, and he had not made a concerted effort to talk to her, so she knew she had to make the first move or it was never going to happen! On October 15, 1944 he married the love of his life, Mildred Ruth Hearron, and the rest is history. They made their home in Bardwell before moving to Ennis in 1992. George was a jack of many trades including, owning Grammer Real Estate; owning Bardwell Co-Op Gin and was a tax accountant. He served as Mayor of Bardwell, as president of the Elm Branch Cemetery Association, was founder of the Bardwell Water Supply Company, and was president of the Bardwell Community Center. He was a member of the First Methodist Church of Avalon. He is survived by one daughter, Dee Grammer Holley of Dallas; brother, Chester Wayne Grammer of Cedar Creek and sister, Willie Mae Deittrick of Austin; grandchildren: Jamie Holley, Lindsey and her husband, Ryan Clemmensen. He is preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Mildred Grammer on June 27, 2001 and one sister, Pauline Simmons. Visitation will be held from 1 p.m. until service time at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 5, 2013 in the J.E. Keever Mortuary Chapel of Ennis. Interment will follow in the Elm Branch Cemetery of Bardwell under the direction of J.E. Keever Mortuary, Inc. In lieu of flowers the family request donation to be made to the Alzheimer's Association, P O Box 96011, Washington, DC 20090-6011 or by phone at 1-800-272-3900. www.jekeevermortuary.com

This is last year's news. Nobody cared then, they care less now. And any odd hope that white Americans might be holding out about the "KKK" or some other white group is going to turn it around. Why should they? Those groups have been treated like crap by white Americans for decades. For them this show is exactly what they predicted.
And that's the real shame for black America; they are doing exactly what all those mean old white racists segregationists said they would do. Every single element of it has come to pass. And still the majority of white America looks the other way.
I find that I carry a gun more often in the 21st century than I did in the 20th. I sure don't see any improvement coming. But I really do wonder what is supposed to happen?
ANY white people who have brought up the subject of racist black mobs attacking people is shouted down as a racist instantly. Any black person, like this mayor, who attempt the same are labeled as Uncle Tom's and race traitors. White Americans have been conditioned for decades that being called a "racist" is a fate worse than death, so the reaction is exactly what you would expect.
Oh and during these decades while whites were being told how horrible they are and how everyting is their fault, black people were given the exact opposite message. Their racism was allowed to flourish into the nightmare we have today. They have been encouraged to take every advantage of white people, a sin if they claim to be Christians. But that's another story.

White people are not cowards. We've simply learned over the last few decades that there is no way to avoid furious screams of racism any time we call for tough action against any minority group.
#6 Dec 8, 2012
Whites have proven to be "cowards" for decades now. I would pose the question that the Leon Trotsky aka Lev Bronstein coined phrase "racist" has done more damage to the West than a full scale war. Don't believe me? Take a look at cities like Detroit and compare them to the cities that were bombed in Germany and Japan during WWII. Hell, if you didn't know any better you would say it was the Axis that won that war and the Allies who lost it judging by how those cities look today compared to cities like Detroit. Anyhow, back to the supposed cowardness of Whites. I've seen Whites like David Duke go on even so-called "conservative" talk shows like O'Reilly and get shown no respect. I would invite anyone to go to Dr. Duke's website or watch some of his vids on Youtube and compare what the Zionist controlled media has to say about Duke versus what David Duke ACTUALLY SAYS. Meanwhile, that same Bill aka Shill O'Reilly will have a blatant "racist" like the "Reverend" Al $harpton or Je$$e Jack$on on his program and fall all over his self kissing their arses. I've seen just a handful of Whites who had the cojones and love for their people to get out and protest the Christian-Newsom murders in Knoxville, TN., get lambasted and ridiculed by a crowd of anti-White malcontents made up of not only nonwhites but the MAJORITY of the crowd included sick, twisted, self hating Whites. Whites have literally rolled over and became doormats for nonwhites but yet they will foam at the mouth attacking someone like David Duke for standing up for their rights. If these "cowardly" Whites think that somehow they curry favor from these nonwhites for their traitorous suicidal actions, just ask yourself is Benedict Arnold held in high esteem by either the Americans? Bill Clinton told a cheering crowd of 20-somethings at some University a couple of years ago that by 2042 the United States was projected to be minority White. The crowd roared its approval, but the only puzzling thing is the crowd was mostly White. Here are people so inculcated or just so SICK that they're literally cheering on their own GENOCIDE BY ASSIMILATION. Unless Whites do a U-turn I would have to say YES THEY HAVE PROVEN TO BE COWARDS AND TRAITORS.

oopsie, meant to say is Benedict Arnold held in high esteem by the British.

If the Zionist supremacist socially engineered plan of browning the West is successful I wonder if all those traitorous Whites will be looked upon as heroes of some sort by the nonwhites. Will there be memorials, days of rememberance, or statues honoring the likes of Lyndon Johnson, John-Robert-Teddy Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and countless others that have been willing shills in helping bring the demise to White America? Is Benedict Arnold honored in Great Britian today? These men aren't admired by nonwhites or the Jewish social engineers, on the contrary, little is thought of these traitors by nonwhites and only some brainwashed self hating Whites would hold any of them in high esteem. The aforementioned names above are no different than that famous "traitor" Benedict Arnold.

If you look at minority relations in this country as some sort of war to be waged and fought until there is a victor, then the traitor label would be possible.
But, as everything continues to evolve, and you look at it from the standpoint of trying to get along for the benefit of the country, then you are way off in right field as you access the names and historic events you cited. There is very little that would be considered progressive in your approach, and there are many radical groups that would be happy for you to join them.

There is talk of some who say that Hispanics hate blacks more than whites who hate blacks because they don't buy into "hate whitey" fiasco. What I could never overstand is that "some" black people accept Hispanics as their brothers and sisters too damned fast. Hispanics, the majority of them, are looking out for their own interests and getting shit done!. Black people, the ones who do this, need to stop accepting everybody like fucking idiots.

It's an undeclared race war and will likely remain that way for a while. Making a formal declaration would wake up too many Americans and the effort would fail. Numerically it can't succeed anyway, but using these guerilla tactics has been quite effective. Particularly given the cover of the leftist press and excuse-seeking law enforcement that does everything possible to avoid paperwork.
At some point it will boil over. But it's pretty obvious that reconciliation and integration are not priorities for black Americans by and large. Nothing white people do will ever be good enough to them. So why go on trying?

I carry, and will not be intimidated by anyone, especially someone with a lower IQ believing I owe them something because of how their relative was treated a long time ago. Georgia has given me the right to stand my ground and defend my home and I have used this law to protect my home and family with a weapon. Those who threatened me got the surprise of their life and no one needs worry about them. Bless their little hearts.

You people that talk like this that whites hate black are racists. Whites love black people give eachother a chance. We are back in the past bullshit. I care for all race , you should to, scared? Is what you whites are. I'm white, when any race needs help you help, thank you is not foreign in color. Reverend david mitchell get a grip. Nazis now is bad.

I gave up my premium account because of this issue. I would really like to see it fixed because the main reason I got a wifi mp3 player was for the mobile playlists feature. I have the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 (YP-G70, running Gingerbread.UEK18, wifi only device.) I downloaded the app, synced my playlists, and all was well... until I tried to log back on to sync again. The app will continually flip back and forth between online/offline every 2 seconds or so and all of the downloaded playlists will be grayed out. On Spotify on my computer, it will show the device as connected, but won't sync. Sometimes, it shows the device in the list twice as though there were two of them.
I tried changing my password. I tried signing in under both FB and Spotify. I cleared the cache, deleted the app, and reinstalled it about 30 different times. I also noticed that Spotify would often not show up at all in my running applications list on my mp3 player even when it was running. I tried changing the save location between the external SD card and the internal memory. When I would do that, Spotify on my computer would always show the wrong save location (e.g., the player was set to internal and Spotify on the computer showed the external storage card space available.)
I don't know if any of that will help you determine what's going on, but I really hope this issue gets resolved.
Same problem as everyone else, except it does not synch over wifi OR 3G. It is completely useless on my Motorola Droid 2 Global (Verizon).
VERY frustrated. I have cleared the cache, changed my password, and it still says "Offline Mode." At least Pandora works.
I am having the identically same issues on my Samsung Player 5. I think I am going to cancel my premium account as well.
i've got a similar proplem: on pc everything is ok and I can log in and stay logged.
Then I have two Android devices Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Asus Transformer Prime Tab . Both are using Android 4.x.
The probelnm is with tha Asus; it is practically all the time telling me that I'm offline and cannot sync.
The Samsung is been worhing all the time ok.
I have been also logging off from other devics (PC and Samsung), but it has not helped.
Totaly during these some weeks which I have had the Asus I may have been on line just 2..3 hrs.

I have had Spotify Premium for a couple months now and have not had any problems until about a week ago.
I have an Android Samsung Charge, and have recently been stuck in offline mode just like everybody else.
I began Spotify using my Facebook account, but I went in and changed my Spotify password, re-logged in and all that. Didn't work (7:55pm).
I have unistalled the app on my phone for the 3rd time, still not working. Now I have cleared the cache, logged out, unistalled, and restarted my phone, reinstalled the app, logged in with facebook, and now i am back online THANK GOD (8:02pm).
Now (8:03pm) I am attempting to make several playlists offline. I connected to Wi-fi, and I am syncing through that right now.
(9:28) After fixing everything up and syncing back and forth, I disconnected from wireless, stayed on my 3G/4G and am still online.
Hopefully this can help some of you guys.
Jordan :heart:
I have the same problem... Tried logging on/off, switching from 3G to WiFi (Slacker is working fine) but Spotify says I'm offline. Very frustrating... if this keeps up I'll be canceling my premium account. - HTC Increidible
It changed the password and reinstalled the application from Samsung and Asus. It helped for some hours but then the situation become the same: Samsung is working (almostt all the time) and Asus Transtormer is staying offline.
It would be rather fair to hear what Spotify is doing and when the they think the problem is been solved.

I had this problem too, but it worked when I changed my password. Thanks!

On two of the containers, I noted a warning something like, "It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling."Gosh. So if I use insecticide to spray spiders, I'm breaking a federal law? Talk about the "nanny state."But to the point, this makes me wonder, is it legal to eat oyster crackers with clam chowder?Justin Bertrand Galen SkywatcherWellsburg Marshall has its priorities wrongEditor: A no-confidence vote is a sign of serious problems at any university. One reason the Marshall faculty voted no confidence in their president is that while faculty earn far less than the average for faculty at universities like Marshall, administrators earn more than the average for administrators at universities like Marshall. Faculty hasn't had a raise in a decade, yet student costs at Marshall have gone up by 89 percent (compared to a national average of 33 percent) and enrollment has fallen.With jobs so scarce in the last few years, many young people who can't find a job with a decent salary would get more schooling if they could afford it -- or had any confidence they could pay back a student loan. West Virginia youth doing without a college education have issued their own no-confidence vote. I know many forces influence budgets. However, if Marshall can't afford to pay faculty a competitive salary and ensure our youth an affordable college education, but can afford luxuries for a few super-sized salaries and supplements for top administrators; a rec center that many West Virginians could never afford access to; and a stadium many West Virginians can't afford tickets to, there's a serious problem with its priorities.Edwina PendarvisHuntington U.S. Surpreme Court violates privacy rights Editor:At a time when more and more American citizens are being incarcerated, recent rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court have struck yet another blow to a citizen's right to privacy. The court has ruled that the police can forcibly obtain a DNA sample from anyone in police custody, regardless of the seriousness of the offence. How the justices justified this decision must be held in question as this is an obvious and blatant violation of one's constitutional right to privacy.In another recent decision, the court has ruled that one's silence can and will be used against them as a tool of prosecution. The ruling found that, although not under arrest, if one chooses not to answer questions by police or prosecutors, one must invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. In other words, if police ask something you don't want to answer, your silence will be deemed as an admission of guilt unless you invoke the Fifth Amendment.It seems that rather than protect our most precious right, the right to privacy, the high court is all too willing to allow sweeping violations of this right. Such rulings as these can only be seen as wrongly decided. Such rulings do nothing to protect the country or citizenry as a whole, but rather violate personal privacy. The public is not served by these rulings.Walt Lindsay Madison Trayvon Martin's killing racially motivatedEditor:I have read all the media on the George Zimmerman trial. I have another theory. Zimmerman may have gotten the bloody, swollen nose and the lacerations on the back of his head because he attacked Trayvon Martin, and Martin was fighting for his life.He called the police, and they told him not to approach the teen. So why did he if it wasn't a racial thing with him?Besides, I thought a Neighborhood Watch was to watch for suspicious activity. This kid was just walking to where his dad was.I see no reason for Zimmerman to confront this kid. I think they need to do a lot more investigating on this case. It just doesn't add up to me. Zimmerman had no business killing that kid because he shouldn't have confronted him to begin with.I am inclined to agree with the Martins that it was a racial thing. If it was, I hope he gets what is coming to him.Kay ReedSt. Albans Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 Facebook founder visits Charleston restaurant 2 Gazette editorial: Capito has second chance to do the right thing 3 Doug Smock: AAC not ready for Power 6 quite yet 4 WVU seeking improvements during off week 5 Innerviews: Dual-identity surgeon riding high in horse racing world Kevin Baker: Home birth is safe in the majority of pregnancies Previous Story Frank E.

The Gay Groom has a blog post last week about Grindr, sparked by the comments, earlier this week, made by Paris Hilton. Honestly, I saw the headlines in my RSS reader about Hilton, and simply ignored them as there was too much else going on, with my partner having surgery, work being busy, and there being a plethora of stuff to be ready for the November election. So, I enjoyed reading a lighter take by the groom himself today. Bought I would share some of my Grindr thoughts.
I've had an account on Grindr since it first became available on the iPhone and have written about Grindr before. Unlike the groom, my partner and I are not married, and our working agreement is an open and honest relationship. We are both free to have physical encounters outside of our relay ship, as long as it isn't hidden, involves no deceit or lying, and doesn't do anything to harm our relates hip or each other. My position is that every couple, gay or straight, must come to an agreement about what works for them, and then do that. Maybe it is monogamy, and maybe it isn't. I'm offering no value judgement, past the crucial importance of honesty. That said, it is also probably true, that the longer we are together, the less either if us care about outside experiences. Our relationship seems to feed us, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually. Although I also got the app, as a form of research. ( I hear some of my readers laughing now) I am very interested in how mobile devices are changing our lives, and an app like Grindr is a part of that.
Personally, I'm not on Grindr much, and I like Scruff better. I'm not sure why that is, except that Grindr strikes me as more of the app where the bar twinks are, and Scruff is an app where a broader array of guys can be found. And, unlike the groom's comment, Scruff is for all types of guys, not just Bears. At this point, my engagement on these apps is best described as flirting. I love to flirt, ad be flirted with. So, I appreciate getting woofed at, and woofing at others.
When I read the groom's post, I immediately wanted to share with him, about my former trainer at the gym and Grindr. Both my partner and I work out at a newer gym where there is an active training program, and we have both had trainers since we started there. My former trainer is a big body builder type boy who is drop dead gorgeous, and also a terrific guy. He has done some professional modeling, and one of his photos hoots was leaked to the web, and he has been plastered all over a bunch of gay sites, as he is sexy as all get out. So, he had some familiarity with gay guys before working at this gym. Some of the other trainers, not so much, and the gym is super p ocular with gay and lesbian clients. Anyway, as my former trainer was moving past a breakup with his girlfriend, another client told him about Grindr. He was so envious he told me. Damn, if it could be that easy to find a sex partner! I just laughed at him, because, as the groom pointed out, it isn't all that easy to be Mr Popular. Grindr, Scruff, the local bar… All are spaces where our ability to meet and connect determined by many factors. But I hope the from gets a good laugh out of picturing Grindr being a top discussion at our gym, between the boy builders and the gays.
When I think back to my 20's, much of it was a time before AIDS or at least before AIDS was such a known epidemic. All we had were the bars in terms of places to meet, and as a bar tender I had little trouble meeting guys. as I got older, the bars remained a primary meeting place, but I'm not a very outgoing guy, and it was harder than heck to meet guys. I was too quiet or shy, or who knows. Meeting people is hard for me, and I have worked hard over time to change that. Gay kids don't have the opportunity straight kids do to work through that stuff in junior high and high school. Straight kids learn how to meet others and form friendships and networks, where gay kids often live in isolation. So, we come to try learn that stuff later in life.
I had a really funny Grindr experience pretty recently. I had logged in, and there was some guy, very close to me, whose screen name was "Mitt is it" or something like that. I took it as a political statement. Then, in this guy's bio, he said he was looking for love and marriage, and no hookups. It was the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep and I had been writing about politics earlier in the evening. So, I messages him, and commented that Mitt and the GOP wants to keep gays from marrying. His political position seems to be in direct opposition to his personal interests. He said he isn't a one topic voter and called me a bunch of names. So much for conversation.
Today, as I thought of writing this post, I logged in and there, within about 400 feet of me, was a kid whose entire profile was a negative attack on others. seems he is a bit upset that people want to hook up with him, while he is looking for serious love. I suggested he try ChristianMingles.com and he blocked me. Made me laugh.
From my perspective, if there is a negative side to apps like Grindr and Scruff, it is that they allow guys to perpetuate very easily, a notion of love and sex as commodities. It is as if they think a relationship is a thing you can go into a store and pick off of the shelf. They wonder why it is so hard to meet a guy who wants a relationship. These apps aren't responsible for the inability of so many guys to meet other guys, they simply demonstrate those inabilities.
But these issues are not new in any way. I remember when I was first coming out at 18 in Cleveland Ohio, there was a gay paper, and I remember reading an article where the author was encouraging guys to talk to other guys in the bar, and not just stand around waiting for someone else to talk to them. How true, I later learned when I was old enough to go to the bars. That is what most guys did. Heck, even me! Except I found an alternative- become a bar tender because then everyone has to talk to you when they order a drink.
Since the dawn of the Internet, there has been commentary on both sides as to if it has been good or bag for the gay community. Some people meet on-line, just as dating websites work for many straights. Some suggest that the ease of finding a trick online is one of the things that has led to the death of many gay bars, or the bar culture that flourished for most of my adult life. I don't agree with that line of thinking. Where as when I was single and younger, on a Friday night, there was no other option but to go out dancing. No other way to really meet someone existed. Today, that isn't the case.
Groom, if we are ever geographically close enough that you show up only Grindr, I'll happily flirt with you, or woof at you, or poke you, or… You get the idea. You are the type of guy id be interested in chatting with, even if you use your wedding picture. Life is short and if I could share any idea with all those on these apps, it would be to meet as many people as you can, and learn to be friendly instead of acting like an asshole, no matter who it is or why they contacted you.

Very nice guide and photos to Cactus Haven, Kudos to RStrang & Co. Good to have some strong boulders put up the descriptions. Mixed feelings on seeing the guide on MP but that is just human nature (e.g. no longer somewhat obscure). Couple things to add... Is it possible to post up a brief on access concerns and history? I was introduced to Cactus Haven in 2004 and i think there was some posts back on rockclimbing.com but wondered when this place was first bouldered... Could have been a while ago. Also, I was told that access was restricted to eldorado residents and their guests. I am not a resident but, always had the address of my eldorado buddy memorized in case I was asked. You know just as a backup, for what it was worth!

|Just to share some info for folks who consider checking this spot out : There are No Trespassing signs all around the area, most importantly, right in front of the gate going in. We didn't end up climbing as we didn't want to tread in their space. Would have been nice knowing this prior to the trip, as all I read here was that locals didn't really care... I don't know if the signs are new, but they seem worth mentioning.

We began climbin' & bouldering this area before it had a name (back in 2000). Here's my son on an un-named 40 ft. top rope problem, one of several.


text: Thinking of picking up two Stihl Kombi KM 110 units. One straight shaft trimmer head and another edger head. I plan on leaving the heads on the units most of the time. My thinking is, if I want to add the saw head or shrub trimming head later I can. If one unit goes down, I can just swap attachments until I get it fixed. So is my thinking good and is this unit a good choice?

Budget cuts would hit TU Hospital's patients hard
Eight months ago, 46-year-old Fareed Tucker was told he needed to have his right leg amputated — immediately. The Delaware County resident sought a second opinion from Temple vascular surgeon Eric Choi. Today, Tucker has both of his legs and can walk without the aid of crutches. He's grateful not only to Choi, but for the fact that the Commonwealth's Medical Assistance (or Medicaid) program enabled him to get sophisticated limb-salvage surgery while reimbursing Temple for a portion of his total healthcare costs.
Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed 2011-12 budget includes hospital funding cuts of $333 million. For the hospitals and ancillary provider facilities in the Temple University Health System, these cuts could approach $83 million — a setback that would jeopardize the level of clinical services and programs available to uninsured or underinsured patients like Tucker.
Temple University Health System's flagship hospital, Temple University Hospital (TUH), serves the greatest volume and highest percentage of Medicaid patients in Pennsylvania. In recognition of its role as the Commonwealth's leading safety-net hospital, TUH receives government funding that helps offset the cost of care provided for burn victims, obstetrics patients, infants in TUH's Intensive Care Nursery and trauma patients.
The proposed cuts also would have a negative effect on TUH's ability to sustain jobs for its employees, many of whom are Philadelphia residents.
Temple's partial reliance on state support has been a catalyst for hospital-based initiatives and programs designed to increase quality-of-care while decreasing costs.
"Temple University Hospital has successfully reduced expenses and improved care by streamlining operational efficiencies and reducing or eliminating redundancies and variations that lead to waste," said Sandra L. Gomberg, president and chief executive officer of TUH.
Despite TUH's improvement efforts, no hospital that is the safety-net institution for Pennsylvania's largest city — the largest city in the nation without a public hospital — can achieve financial stability without stable Commonwealth support for care provided to Medicaid patients.
"Unlike hospitals that have a large commercial payer mix, we are not able to offset low Medicaid reimbursements by shifting costs to the higher payments from private insurers," said Gomberg, who noted that nearly 52 percent of the hospital's inpatients depend on Medicaid coverage.
"We're proud to serve some of the Commonwealth's most vulnerable and underserved citizens, but we can't do it alone," she added. "That's why we're going to advocate vigorously for the continuation of levels of state support that will protect our patients' access to quality healthcare, protect our tradition of providing progressive medical education and research and protect our position as one of the largest employers in Southeastern Pennsylvania."
TUH leaders said they would continue to work with the Commonwealth on strategies and initiatives that would sustain access to care for patients.

Ian Richardson, 72, Versatile Scottish Actor
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON
Published: February 10, 2007
Ian Richardson, the Scottish film, television and stage actor who was a major figure at the Royal Shakespeare Company before gaining international fame for his television portrayal of a deliciously villainous politician, died yesterday at his home in London. He was 72.
His agent, Jean Diamond, said the cause had not yet been determined.
With his sharp features and honeyed accent, Mr. Richardson was almost destined to play the seductive villain Francis Urquhart in the series ''House of Cards'' and its two sequels. But he first became known as a versatile stage actor, and as a founding member of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1960.
He made his first impact on the American theater scene as Jean-Paul Marat in Peter Brook's groundbreaking production of Peter Weiss's ''Marat/Sade'' when it came to Broadway in 1965. Stanley Kauffmann, writing in The New York Times, called his performance ''outstanding.'' Mr. Richardson believed the role of the madman playing Marat also made him the first actor to expose his hind parts on a Broadway stage.
Mr. Richardson remained with the company for the next decade, winning praise for his portrayals of the two Richards as well as Berowne in ''Love's Labour's Lost.'' Other roles included Prospero, Angelo and Cassius, the conniving senator for whom Mr. Richardson once said he had a soft spot.
In 1974, in the middle of a brief nervous breakdown, Mr. Richardson left the company. Two years later he came to Broadway to play Henry Higgins in a revival of ''My Fair Lady,'' for which he won a Tony Award. He also appeared on Broadway in 1981 in Edward Albee's adaptation of Nabokov's ''Lolita.''
By then he had already been moving to television, playing a double agent in an adaptation of John le Carr? ''Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'' and Sherlock Holmes in two different television movies.
But it was his portrayal of the alluringly evil Francis Urquhart, a scheming, icily sardonic Tory member of Parliament, that finally made him a household name in Britain and a celebrity abroad. The character of Urquhart, whom Mr. Richardson compared to Richard III, was introduced in 1990 in the BBC series ''House of Cards,'' an adaptation of a book by Michael Dobbs. Two sequels followed: ''To Play the King'' in 1994 and ''The Final Cut'' in 1995. By that time, Mr. Richardson, a British superstar, was being described in newspapers as ''the Voice.''
Urquhart's slippery catchphrase, ''You might say that -- I couldn't possibly comment,'' became so popular that both John Major and Tony Blair have reportedly said it jokingly on occasion.
Mr. Richardson had recently returned to the stage for several productions. In 2002 he was in an international tour of ''The Hollow Crown,'' with Diana Rigg and Derek Jacobi, and in 2005 he starred in a revival of ''The Creeper'' on London's West End.
Americans might also know him from commercials, as the man who asked, out of the window of a Rolls-Royce, for Grey Poupon mustard.
Ian William Richardson was born on April 7, 1934, in Edinburgh, to a homemaker and a biscuit factory manager. He worked as a radio announcer in Libya for the British National Service, where he first received diction lessons, before going to the Glasgow College of Dramatic Art.
At 25, while playing Hamlet at the Birmingham Repertory Theater Company, he was seen by Peter Hall, who asked him to join a troupe he was starting. That troupe became the Royal Shakespeare Company.
During a read-through of ''The Merchant of Venice,'' his first production there, Mr. Richardson, who played the Prince of Aragon, was introduced to an actress named Maroussia Frank. They married the next year. In addition to Ms. Frank, Mr. Richardson's survivors include their two sons, Jeremy and Miles; several grandchildren; and two sisters.
To the end, Mr. Richardson was conflicted about the fame Urquhart brought him.
''Beforehand I was an anonymous jobbing actor known only to the cognoscenti,'' he said in a 2000 interview with The Scotsman. ''Now, when my wife wants to go to the supermarket, I have to stand at the side entrance, looking furtive in a hat and sunglasses. Is that any way for an actor to have to behave?''

Mende, Llerena sparked Bulls in final rally
It's hard to find offseason momentum from a season-ending loss, but as USF baseball searches for positives from a disappointing 2010 season, they'll point to the way the Bulls rallied from a 7-1 deficit to force extra innings against top-seeded Louisville on Friday night.
Down six runs during a sixth-inning rain delay, it would have been easy for the Bulls to phone in the final innings of their season. Instead, they battled, getting four runs in the eighth and an unlikely tying run with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the ninth before ultimately falling 9-7 in 11 innings.
"It's probably the best baseball we've played all year," said shortstop Sam Mende, who had four hits, including a two-run home run in the eighth. "We've had ups and downs all year ... It's tough. I hate ending, especially doing it that way. ... I haven't seen attitudes like that since last year."
The tying run came off the bat of second baseman Luis Llerena, who went 4-for-6 on the night. Louisville closer Neil Holland had two strikeouts in the ninth and got to 0-2 on Llerena, who fought to a 3-2 count, then sent the ball over the wall in left-center -- his last home run came as a high school junior in 2006.
"I was just trying to get on base," Llerena said. "I got that fastball and tried to put a line-drive swing on it, and luckily it got out of the park."
Llerena said the rain delay gave the Bulls a chance to challenge themselves to get back into a game they hadn't really been in since Louisville jumped out 3-0 in the first inning.
"It shows a lot about the team," he said. "We said 'If we're going to go down, we're going to go down swinging.' I think we did that. We came back and battled, and I'm proud of the guys."
Said USF coach Lelo Prado: "He's been good for us all year. Ever since we put him in the lineup, he's really done a good job for us. He's the kind of kid who plays hard every day, and that's why good things happen to him."
Another star in USF's comeback was reliever Kevin Quackenbush, who pitched the longest stint of his Bulls career, keeping the Cardinals scoreless for five innings before giving up the home run in the 11th. A week earlier, he struck out eight batters in a four-inning appearance, getting the win in an extra-inning victory at Pittsburgh.
"Quackenbush pitched great," coach Lelo Prado said. "We just pitched awful in the beginning. Against great teams like this, early in the game, we walked too many guys. They're going to get you sooner or later."
Asked for his thoughts on the season, Prado first pointed to the injuries the Bulls have endured, but did so with a sense of having been capable of more, even with the depleted lineup.
"For me, disappointment," Prado said. "It's disappointing because we've had so many injuries and so many things happen to us, but we'll be back."

When we watch the 'pros' on TV doing their thing, at some point we find ourselves saying "I could do that! If I had all those great tools and professional jigs, I could do anything!"
Well, when I started woodworking, I had three power tools: a table-saw, a hand drill, and a router. Take it from me, that is all you really need, however a spattering of skill and a dollop of patience is also helpful, but not required… initially.
With a few router bits, saw blades, jigs and templates, you can turn any one man show into a custom woodworking studio to the envy of all. As you churn out custom projects like:
• sliding dovetails
• perfectly round disks made on a table saw
• custom curved moldings
• compound radius table tops
• joinery
The key is to visualize each step of your project and make a plan incorporating the materials and tools you have. Don't be afraid to get creative and manipulate the tools you have in order to achieve the cuts and angles you want for your piece.
Read this article with some tips for Using a Table Saw Instead of a Surface Planer.

Furyk leads Oosthuizen by one
AKRON, Ohio – What appeared headed for a runaway early Saturday tightened down the stretch, heightening the excitement heading into the final round of the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.
Jim Furyk started the third round with a two-shot lead that increased to four when he birdied the second hole. That advantage reached as many as five when Louis Oosthuizen bogeyed the eighth hole.
But Furyk ended up with a round of even par to finish at 11 under and the South African closed the gap to one when he came in with a 68. Keegan Bradley, who defends his PGA title next week, is alone in third at 7 under while Rory McIlroy and Steve Stricker are another stroke behind in a tie for sixth.
Furyk is looking for his first victory since his three-win 2010 season that also saw the 16-time PGA TOUR champ win the FedExCup and Player of the Year. Oosthuizen, who won the British Open the same season, nearly picked up his second major at the Masters earlier this year but lost to Bubba Watson in a playoff.
Tee times for the final round have been moved up due to thunderstorms expected to move into the area in the wee hours of Sunday. Players will be sent off the first and 10th tees beginning at 8 a.m.

Tony Parker just may be the most underrated player in the NBA. Not only does his name not come up much in "Best Player in the League" discussions, but he's often overlooked in top point guard debates. That may be changing with this current playoff run, in which he's emerged as the undisputed leader of the San Antonio Spurs. Duncan is still amazing, but the Spurs go as Parker goes now. If you needed proof, look no further than Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Parker scored four field goals in the Spurs' fourth quarter rally, none bigger than his desperation bank shot to clinch the win with 5.2 second left. On a broken play, Parker fell to the floor, recovered and leaned in for the 16-foot game-winner past LeBorn James. No other way to better describe the shot than "clutch," though Parker gives a little credit to luck.
Back in January, Tony Parker signed on as an endorsement partner with PEAK, a China-based athletic footwear and apparel company. For PEAK, the deal pays off as Parker brings his Team Lightning Player Exclusives to the biggest stage in basketball.
The PEAK Team Lightning features COOLFREE construction, Cushion-3 technology and a solid rubber outsole. Available exclusively in China.
Check out Parker's game-winner above and several shots from last night's game below.

NPR Fights Net Radio Grab
The fight over new Internet-radio royalties heated up Friday when National Public Radio took a stand against against them. In advance of a petition for reconsideration, filed with the federal Copyright Royalty Board, came this statement from NPR's Andi Sporkin: "This is a stunning, damaging decision.... Public radio's agreements on royalties with all such organizations, including the RIAA, have always taken into account our public service mission and non-profit status. These new rates, at least 20 times more than what stations have paid in the past, treat us as if we were commercial radio--although by its nature, public radio cannot increase revenue from more listeners or more content, the factors that set this new rate. Also, we are being required to pay an internet royalty fee that is vastly more expensive than what we pay for over-the-air use of music, although for a fraction of the over-the-air audience. This decision penalizes public radio stations for fulfilling their mandate, it penalizes emerging and non-mainstream musical artists who have always relied on public radio for visibility and ultimately it penalizes the American public...." Like NPR itself, many local public radio stations now have active websites with audio feeds, podcasts, and other content that doesn't make it on the air. NPR's audience hit an all-time high of 26.5 million in fall 2006 and has been adding a million listeners a year for the past five years.
