Skip to comments.Obama: Ive got my pen ready to raise those taxes
Posted on 11/09/2012 4:29:48 PM PST by Kaslin
In case you missed it this afternoon (or, if you just didnt want to watch it, in which case I sympathize), President Obama held his first post-election, fiscal-cliff, no-questions-please presser this afternoon, during which he iterated pretty much everything youd expect.
Obama brandishes presidential pen as he calls for more taxes
National Journal sums it up:
- In his first statement since winning reelection, Obama called on Congress to let the Bush tax cuts expire for individuals earning over $200,000 per year and families earning over $250,000. Lets extend the middle-class tax cuts right now. Lets do that right now, Obama added.
- The president said while he is "open to compromise," he will not accept a Republican plan that only contains spending cuts. "I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced," he told an East Room audience.
- On Tuesday night, we found out that the majority of Americans agree with my approach, Obama said. Our job now is to get a majority in Congress to reflect the view of the American people.
Earlier on Friday, Speaker of the House John Boehner held his own press conference, implying that he was ruling out any tax hikes as part of a deal, via the NYT:
Its clear that there are a lot of special interest loopholes in the tax code, both corporate and personal, he said. Its also clear that there are all kinds of deductions, some of which make sense, others dont. And by lowering rates and cleaning up the tax code, we know were going to get more economic growth. …
But Mr. Boehner said he has a mandate as well.
Theres a Republican majority here in the House, he said. The American people re-elected a Republican majority, and Im proud of the fact that our team in a very difficult year was able to maintain our majority.
And I just know you're curious about what House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi thought about the whole thing, so here you go:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., responded to President Obama with a statement that the president "is exactly right – the American people voted on Tuesday for certainty for our economy and middle class families."
"President Obama has his signing pen ready, and I am certain that, given the opportunity, Democrats in the House will vote to send the middle income tax cut to the President next week," said Pelosi.
So, everybody's geared up for the fight, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid affirmed his readiness to raise the debt ceiling to almost $19 trillion earlier this week — which is really awesome, since we're set to hit around $20 trillion in debt by the end of Obama's second term. I'm sure we can just keep delaying dealing with our debt, and delaying it, and delaying it, and delaying it…
(**&*&^*&@()Q()*__ to you, Mr. President.
The Warlord in Chief wants MORE class warfare and Reid wants to borrow $2.4 trillion more.
These people are killing the USA.
Obama spent all the money now he wants others to pay dearly.
I have to agree with barry. The whats in for me crowd do want higher taxes, just not for themselves.
Greece. On steroids.
Go ahead, then 100% blame goes to Obama. It's going to happen anyway. We're over the cliff, F it.
Bet he's not.
He can take that pen, sit on it, and spin for all I care.
I don't fear this man child. My future is assured. I didn't need to be promised 72 virgins.
Someone died for me. That was my salvation.
I say let what was agreed to by both parties in 2011 transpire-let ALL the Bush tax rates expire and let all the spending cuts take effect. Otherwise the agreement was a sham(shock!).
Boehner will fold like a cheap lawn chair. Mark my words.
He doesn't have the b@11$ to stand up to Zero.
Where the hell has he been for the past year? Has anyone heard anything at all out of him?
The Republicans helped get us here with their lack of anything resembling a spine.
Time for some real change. The republican party is finished.
I know - I could barely stand to watch or listen to him (which I rarely ever did, and when I did, it wasn't on purpose)the last 4 years...God only knows how I will be able to bear the next 4.
Sure, do it. Higher tax rates means actual revenue falls, and then where will the money come from to pay off the zombie hordes?
I think we'll get some shotguns for Christmas.
Right on! Romney would have grief from the lame stream media if the economy went down. Let Obama own it. No more Bush to blame Mr. O.
They're already spending $1.40 for every $1 in revenue.
Would spending $1.50 make any difference to them?
And HE'S still in control
Eventually, the bubble has to pop. They always do. See Greece, for example.
However, lower revenue to government can't be bad, in my opinion.
I agree on the pop.
I just wish I knew when and how it will happen so I could structure my investments to best survive. (other than the Kruggerrands I've got buried in the yard LOL)
Like an immature teenager who has maxed out his folks credit card and now wants more.....
I sympathize. My parents have some Krugerrands stashed, too ... but you can't eat them. I've invested in children who can grow food if TSHTF! Our neighborhood was farmland only 20 years ago, and it can be again, if people get hungry. Between us and the Russians and Ukrainians, there are plenty of strong young folks to work it.
"We voted in 2010 to STOP Obamacare...."
That worked out well, didn't it?
I'd like to jam that pen up his nose.
I was hopeful. I do not know why so many did not vote Republican. I voted hoping the 2010 Tea Party rebellion would send an overwhelming message...Ah, little did I know that Tea Party reformers would sit out and let Obama have at us again.
I'll second you.
Only here will I see or hear O for the next four years.
Now I wonder who of the Freepers sat on their butt on Tuesday, so we could have at least captured the Senate majority? With it we would be able to remove that arrogant, lazy, lying pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. After the House could impeach him
Plus, we are spending .borrowing $6 for every $1 of economic growth. Sounds like a plan.
I'd like to stick it somewhere else, as they say where the sun doesn't shine.
Are you forgeting? It takes 67 votes to remove the pos from office after an impeachment.
Didn't it look from his demeanor and tone of voice today that he's ready to negotiate and work with Congress? That man is STILL angry and it shows! He's no more ready to listen to the other side in the next four years than he was in the last four.
What was the purpose of having that many bodies around him for this speech today? Failed to impress me if that was his objective!
This TOO SHALL PASS I keep telling myself.
Go ahead Mr. President. But don't just bring back the rates before the the Bush (and congress) tax cuts. Lets do this thing right. Take us back to the rates under Carter. Wasn't it 78% then. You know during those wonderful years under Carter, which I must admit you have done a pretty good job of recreating. Those were the good times before the decade of greed that was the eighties, when everyone was buying Ferrari's and making lots of money. Then Bill Clinton came along and it was suddenly a good thing to make money. Just changing from a Republican to Democrat caused it to be the decade of prosperity for all. Amazing.
Sure, I say we go ahead and do it, on one condition: ELIMINATE WITHOLDING. MAKE EVERY TAXPAYER WRITE A PAYCHECK ONCE A YEAR TO THE IRS FOR HIS TAXES.
I read that most wealthy people voted for Obama. I would not care if they are taxed into a tent. After using the camp stove for a time, they might want to reconsider the glory of socialism.
Wealthy people love socialism...it keeps out their competition, and keeps them in the elite. Only the little people are subject to socialism.
Press will still blame Bush and make us accept high gas prices, unemployment etc. it is amazing what people can get used to.
They won't love it if we make sure they pay for it and lock their paws out of the US Treasury for corporate welfare. Monopolies are against the law and we can start prosecuting them for that. Bring 'em down with us.
raise em, you won't get another dime from me
my operation is shutdown and won't open up again unless it's overseas
have fun moochers ... I hope you all rot
I'm against raising taxes. They raise them and then spend it.
I still say GM should have been broken up.....if it's "too big to fail" it needs to be broken up.
I wonder if he is going to blame his troubles on the guy who is just finishing a 4-year term.
You act like that's a bad thing...
"With out it we are helpless, even though we have the House"
Extortion-Care would not have passed if the Republicans had controlled the House.
The real extortioners "please stand up." That's what we now get to witness.....The propaganda, is "fiscal cliff", "fiscal cliff", "fiscal cliff" 24/7. Notice this was not front and center in the "debates" "show." But now, "in your face" pie throwing 24/7.
They had their Hillary, "The Hillary of Massachusetts", all picked out again, but now they have to panic deal once again with the Undocumented One, as in the bribing to get Extortion-Care passed. At least Reagan dealt with an honest Glass-Steagal paradigm. The anti-Glass/S want a free fascist ride on everyones backs.
Agree. I emailed by pubbie Congressman and explained why he should just vote "present," as our glorious Dear Leader did for years. Let the spending and tax bills sail through Congress without amendment or opposition. The rats are responsible for this fiscal, monetary and social mess; let them own it.
Boehner will fold like a cheap lawn chair. Mark my words.
Of course he will..and zero knows it. He has nothing to lose and no more elections to steal. The unbridled arrogance we are about to witness will be breathtaking. Boehner has no balls, but if he has a brain he will step aside and let the dems take us over the cliff...
I'd like to see a new tax - 5% bracket for those making under $35K....
If all of you think obama is making these decisions....the man is dumber than a democrat voter. Someone else is making the decisions. He plays golf and smokes.

A Promise to the NHL and NHLPA
Jonathan Willis
September 15 2012 01:38PM
Today is September 15, the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and NHLPA. Tonight, barring an 11th-hour miracle, the league will lock out its players and begin yet another in a seemingly endless cycle of work stoppages.
If that happens, I have a promise to both sides.
The promise is this: I will not spend so much as a dime for the rest of my life on any of the auxiliary streams of revenue the league has.
I'm not turning my back on hockey or even NHL hockey – I'm a fan and always will be. So I'll keep going to games and buying the sports package on TV so I can watch the teams play. But that's where it stops.
A huge portion of NHL revenue comes from merchandise and concessions. Jerseys, coffee mugs, hockey cards – when anything with a team logo is sold, the NHL gets a piece of it. The same goes for the pricey beer and nachos sold at arenas.
I'm done with it all.
Granted, I'm not the consumer of those products that I once was, even now. As writing about the Oilers has taken more and more of my time – and eventually transitioned into my full-time job – I've been less and less enthused about team merchandise. It's hard to write objectively about a team while wearing their colours, and I've become far less a collector of team-related merchandise than I was even five years ago.
I've never stopped completely though, and when at the games I enjoy beer and nachos as much as the next man. But if the lockout, as expected, starts today, those days are over. I'll Gandhi the games and the vintage Kurri jersey in my closet will be the last thing with an NHL logo on it that I ever buy.
That's a promise.

Props, JW. I agree.
I have already cut my cable package and only watch games streaming online from shady Czech websites (or CBC). I don't watch any of the advertising, don't and will continue to not buy merchandise, however I have a habit of being at 10-20 games a year, and assume that I will continue.
The lack of heroin beer in my fists while at the games will be the toughest thing to overcome, but i will partake in beverages or party favors before going and smuggle in my own nachos with cheese (don't ask where I will stash it).
I will not pay for parking. I will walk miles before giving them $12 to show me where to put my car.
To everyone: First step, kill your cable package.
Cool story bro.
Great idea. Boycott hockey related revenue sources now. Deadline of say Oct 15 when the "Occupy Centre Ice" movement takes the next step of boycotting sponsors.
When baseball went on strike I swore a pox on thier collective houses, not a penny of mine would ever go to any of them. Since then I never been to a game, never watched a game or bought a piece of merchandise. I swore that I would never consciously support the sponsors either. This I have done. Even when I walk into a room and a game is on I either leave or get busy doing something else. Never watched a worlds series, nothing...
Of course with hockey this will be difficult. But JW I support you and will put myself on a diet. Principles my friends, principles.
Stopped watching when the Expos were robbed. Haven't been back since.
This is effectively an idle threat. Bettman is laughing at you.
You now make your living effectively "promoting" the NHL. So you are not giving up anything at all, since after the lockout you will still be effectively "promoting" the NHL.
Your livelihood now depends on regenerating the fan base for the NHL after the lockout.
i.e. Bettman has you trapped. You are his effectively his "bitch".
To make your threat "real", you would have to permanently give up writing about hockey and say go start writing about soccer.
mc79 could make the threat credibly, since he makes his living as a lawyer, and seems to like soccer.
You are part of the NHL ecosystem, and dependent on it. Bettman knows that you are going to help bring the NHL back.
September 15 2012, 04:05PM
Good stuff Jonathan. The NHL feels the fans will keep coming back and I, for one, will watch hockey when it comes back.
But here's the thing. When I grew up it was all about hockey. Every Saturday night I'd watch HNIC with my old man.
I have three kids. 9, 7, 4. Between them they have maybe watched three or four NHL games. They like hockey but I push them towards any international stuff that's on or better yet to playing themselves.
I guess when they get older they may become fans of NHL hockey but its not part of anything they are interested in now and I'm certainly not encouraging it.
Hope all of those new fans in Arizona and Florida will make up for the eroding of the base here.

September 15 2012, 02:15PM
Do they stream the Barons games online? Any possible way of getting them on tv?
September 15 2012, 02:32PM
I've heard it's fairly easy to order authentic looking merchandise online that is from non-NHL sources.
September 15 2012, 02:54PM
Although it might have been the only NHL hockey I would have seen this year, sorry EA Sports, no P3 game for me this year.
September 15 2012, 03:11PM
I agree.
I was back in Edmonton over the summer and searched for a new Oilers Jersey for my 6yr old, who had outgrown his previous jersey. So I was hoping to find one for 30 or so dollars since I am sure there will be a new one needed next year. I couldn't find one for less than 80 dollars, even at the Oilers store. Outside of a possible purchase for "lucky socks", I think I would feel like doing the same.
September 15 2012, 03:23PM
I can get on board with that seeing as how all the money I've spent over the years on merchandise that sits new and unopened in a box collecting dust. I wouldn't miss buying more stuff I don't need.
Now if several million follow along the NHL might just notice us little people that pay the bills.
September 15 2012, 04:32PM
If the NHL misses any games I'd love to see the fans organize and boycott the first game back. Some people obviously wouldn't, but could you imagine HNIC showing a game at ACC or Rexall with 3000 people in the stands? That'd be a message.
Boycott Game 1!
The fact you have a Kurri jersey, makes me agree with whatever it is you are writing about, from now on.
That'll show em
Hear hear! I haven't really bought any merchandise for a long time, but I can do my part and continue to not buy any.
Seriously though, is there a professional league with less respect for its fans? MLB had the infamous 94 strike, but has there been anything major since? Last year the NFL even managed to get the season started on time. That could still happen here, but if I were betting money I wouldn't put it on that scenario.
September 15 2012, 02:19PM
Well said JW, in todays world there are so many other ways to watch hockey than pay the large money for the package. The problem is going to the games, when I lived in Edmonton I would try for ten games a year. At every one of them I was wearing some form of merchandise, consuming some form of over priced beverage and food while paying for top dollar parking.
Bring back the flask and the "vintage" jerseys
September 15 2012, 02:36PM
JW, is someone working on a article on where the players are being assigned and what that means?
I read that Eberle and RNH are going to OKC, are they going?
Also Nail is headed to Russia, if the season resumes how hard would it be to get him back? Also how does he compare to other talent headed there?
Any idea where the vets are going?
September 15 2012, 02:50PM
Big Props JW!
(I like that we sport the same Jersey lol)
September 15 2012, 02:52PM
I love it JW and I'm on board. I propose we not be so hasty though and let them decide the deadline as tonight. I say we give them until Oct 1 to hash this thing out or we will forever boycott NHL & NHL Products for ourselves or our children. October 1, 2012 - This date is 10 days before the start of the regular season and likely the last day that a deal can be struck without having an impact on the regular season schedule.
What do you think? How many can you get on board?
If they miss games, I'd love it if the TV networks refused to show games for a week after the lock out ends. The league would lose revenue and it would be a well deserved FU on the fans behalf.
It would never happen though.
In recent years I've been buying more and more things, and now with kids, I've been buying them jerseys and the like. But this is the single DUMBEST lockout in professional sports, the stupidity of this lockout dwarfs anything from the NBA or NFL and I just can tolerate it. Especially witht he stupidity of the first volley from the owners.
Should this lockout go into October, I formally sign on to this promise. I REFUSE to buy anything from the team or officially licensed crap from the NHL. I may also sell my current merch so that it prevents someone from buying a new item.
Effectively, what you are telling us in this post, is that we should stop reading your writing about hockey forever in the various places you write about NHL hockey, since that is another product that helps the NHL generate revenue, just like ball caps and jerseys.
You are part of the advertising and promotional ecosystem of the NHL that should also then be permanently boycotted by "us".
Do you really want us to do that?
September 15 2012, 03:47PM
So now I'll have to give up the red wine and pretzels? Is nothing sacred??!!
JW, I think that the 'lockout' is mostly just posturing. The NHL made the threat to try to get some traction and the NHLPA is all to happy to make the NHL look bad by following through with the threat. The real issue is whether or not they get their poop together before the league misses games.
All to say, I think 'missing games' rather than 'locking out' should be your threshold.
September 15 2012, 04:19PM

I will continue to read Willis and all other hockey related websites. Using Firefox with noscript and Adblocker eliminate all advertising.
The NHL makes no money off of my reading.

JW, did you date godot's sister or something? He sure seems to have a mad on for you eh...
September 15 2012, 04:35PM
Owners refuse to get serious until they find out if they can break the union again . Bettman just their puppet . This negotiation will be the longest ever and beyond just one season as players will not succumb again as they did with Goodenow . Owners are the ones not negotiating in good faith or even interested in a fair deal . Bettmans deal is a joke , but he does a forked tongue response it is the failure of union not to accept all these rollbacks even though the owners are making more profits under present contract . Players should pay for more of their profiteering out of their own salaries - are you kidding me ? The lockout ends when the owners feel they have raked over the salaries ,etc. of the players - or reached what they feel they can max out and get their greedy hands on .
Of course it's the greedy owners fault and has been all along as they have never made any great stance to a fair deal with the union . Pittance is all Bettman has offered in their defence and a long monumental ways from addressing fruitfull negotiations .
Go after the owners maaking them the bad guys in media and fan eyes and you'll be surprised how fast negotiations will flourish . I back the union at this stage 100% .

Impotence - they name is NHL hockey fan. I faced this dilemma in 1988 after Gretzky was sold to LA for thirty pieces of silver. That time I cancelled my season tickets and stayed away until the 1990 playoffs when I decided I was only punishing myself. I returned for Game 7 against Winnipeg and have been back on the train ever since. On the bright side, giving up the over-priced, mostly wretched grub at Rexall will not be too tough.
Great idea, but. The greedy owners will get their revenues one way or the other. Ticket prices will just continue to increase. What was that Mr Katz? You need some more money from the city. Is your billion count running low?
September 15 2012, 05:01PM
I'm with you.
I will never buy another NHL-licensed product again.
September 15 2012, 05:42PM
It's a good idea in theory. I'd like to join, but I'm sure I'd cave in pretty fast. I'm not much of an idealist.
The one thing I don't know that I'd do is stop buying the beer and nachos at the game. It just seems off watching a hockey game without a brew. And I figure I'll justify that by assuming that a cut of all those sales goes to help pay the arena workers who dole out the beers and clean the place when we pigs leave.
Other than that, I like the idea. My obsession with retro jerseys would probably suffer, but I too am a patron of the "less than official" jersey sites, so I wonder how much of a cut the league gets off of me for that anyway.
September 15 2012, 05:47PM
Great sentiment. I already told my son that I am not purchasing NHL13. I don't know if I can not purchase NHL stuff long term but living in PDX, it is easier...
BTW, "Gandhi" the game?? I get what you are saying but as an East Indian, I find that sentence disappointing. What are you getting at? You'll starve yourself like an Indian because they must all be hungry and under nourished? I'm likely reading too much into it but, all the same, I wish you would have chosen better workds to illustrate the point.
Happy lockout eve everybody.
September 15 2012, 06:07PM
... are we to infer from the photo accompanying this post that you are actually lying.
very strange choice.
September 15 2012, 06:23PM
Well said JW. My cousin and I, long-time ticket holders at Rogers arena in Vancouver, came to the same conclusion last week.
Im still a fan of the sport, and a fan of pro-hockey. I am not a fan of the NHL.
September 15 2012, 06:33PM
Well said in the article. Bravo sir! Count me in
It is time to send Bettman a message.
And the sentiment seems to be growing. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/8381892
But it's not just about giving up nachos JW, go big or go home.
When the NHL comes back...don't write about the Oilers for 1 year.
Encourage others to do the same.

Effects of single- vs. dual-task training on balance performance under dual-task conditions in older adults with balance impairment: A randomized, controlled trialSilsupadol, Patima, 1975- (University of Oregon, September , 2008)[more][less]Silsupadol, Patima, 1975- 2009-02-16T23:41:35Z 2009-02-16T23:41:35Z 2008-09 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/8546 xiv, 96 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. Among older adults, an impaired ability to maintain balance while simultaneously performing cognitive tasks is a common occurrence. Because poor dual-task balance performance is associated with increased fall risk and a decline in cognitive function, interventions to improve dual-task balance performance are needed. Although traditional rehabilitation programs emphasizing training balance under single-task conditions are effective in improving single-task balance performance, it is not known whether single-task training generalizes to balance control under dual-task contexts. Moreover, the effectiveness of approaches to training balance under dual-task conditions is not known. Thus, the purposes of this study were to determine whether elderly individuals with balance impairment can improve their balance performance under dual-task conditions; to investigate whether training balance under single-task conditions generalizes to balance control during dual-task contexts; and to evaluate the effect of instructional set on dual-task balance performance. Specifically, the efficiency of three different training strategies was examined in an effort to understand the mechanisms underlying training-related changes in dual-task balance performance. Twenty-three elderly adults with balance impairment were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 interventions: single-task balance training (ST); dual-task training with fixed-priority instruction (FP); and dual-task training with variable-priority instruction (VP). Clinical and laboratory measures were obtained at baseline and after training. In addition, selected clinical outcomes were repeated after the second week of training to examine interim balance change and at twelve weeks post training to test retention. Results indicate that dual-task training was effective in improving balance under dual-task conditions in the elderly with balance impairment. Training balance under single-task conditions may not generalize to balance control during dual-task contexts. Explicit instruction regarding attentional focus was an important factor for improvement in dual-task performance. The VP instructional set offered advantages over the FP instructional set in terms of the degree of improvement, the rate of learning, and the retention of the dual-task training effect. The dual-task processing skills learned during training were not transferred to novel dual-task conditions. Lastly, the training benefits acquired during VP training could be the result of both automatization of the individual task and the development of task-coordination skills.

Comments: I've got a couple of these. I'm not a fan of some of the colors, but they've got a few of the go to colors that look nice. I've caught a few bass on these so far. They seem to run well and hold up well. I'm sure they'd work well for walleye too. Not a bad price either. They're slightly cheaper than a Shad Rap, and they're very comparable now, considering that Rapala bought out Storm.
From: Seth: Pittsburg, PA 7/9/14
Comments: I have been reading up on the Smash Shad from Storm Lures for awhile now. Looked like a great quality crankbait. After testing it out, I was impressed with it in some areas but not so much in others. To start with, Storm's website is no help in seeing all the colors available. I would like to see some pictures of the actual bait, not a cartoon style. That said, they do offer it in 22 different colors. Most are kinda off the wall, but a few look good. My test model was the black chrome orange. The better color of the cranks in my opinion. The quality of this crank was top notch. No flaws in the paint, no chips or cracks. Bill is very strong with no flex. Split rings are strong with no give. I love VMC hooks. One of my top favorites. These Storm cranks sport them. Very sharp and size #4. That was a big plus. I like that the manufacture lists the brands. Crank had a nice fish scale textured surface. 3D eyes looked great and were glued on well. Price was on the higher side. I rate these as a low middle of the road crank. I would be more comfortable with a price averaging around 3.00 to 3.50.
Overall, I think these will be a good crank to try out. Nothing really jumped out and grabbed me about them, but they do work and could find a place in anyone's tackle box.

Unleash a room's full creative potential with the art of hidden sound.
You'll be astonished when you first hear the incredible Bang & Olufsen sound coming from the wall's hidden depths. Music which then reveals BeoLab 15 as it tilts smoothly from the wall or ceiling, focussing your attention completely in the moment.
There is no mistaking Bang & Olufsen sound. It is the result of passionate, innovative engineering and our eternal quest to wrap your eardrums in perfect audio. Drawn from our expertise developing compact state-of-the-art car stereos for Audi, Mercedes-AMG, Aston Martin and BMW, BeoLab 15 & 16 delivers in-wall acoustic design to satisfy even the most demanding.
But BeoLab 15 & 16 is much more than great sound. It is subtle, timeless design made with unique craftsmanship and care. Design that goes beyond conventional limits to transform spaces rival technology simply can't.
BeoLab 15 & 16 sinks discreetly into the wall to give your artwork its true space to inspire. Or you can install BeoLab 15 & 16 in the ceiling and take guests on an unforgettable journey. Immerse them in a room that's alive with music.
Units housing treble, midrange and a motorised tilt mechanism which activates when your music starts to play. The Amplifier 1 driving the BeoLab 15 & 16 consists of a digital sound engine with six separate amplifiers. A temperature controlled fan keeps the electronics cool, even in the hottest environments.
A separate subwoofer with four 4-inch speaker units mounted in two closed box cabinets, applying the Acoustic Balance Principle designed to prevent any unwanted vibrations.
Fixed speakers mounted in the ceiling or walls often direct sound aimlessly into a room. BeoLab 15, however, has an inner speaker cabinet which pivots from its mounting so you can adjust the direction of sound to your precise needs.
BeoLab 15 can be wall-mounted above or below ear height according to your taste without worrying about technical restrictions, giving you great balanced sound that hits the acoustic sweet spot of a perfect listening experience.
Mounting a subwoofer inside a wall is quite unorthodox. In many homes, hotels or offices, however, it is the ideal solution because it opens up the floor space to a more creative interior.
Placing a subwoofer inside a wall comes with serious challenges that our sound engineers have worked incredibly hard to overcome. The main challenge is reducing vibrations to an absolute minimum. BeoLab16 achieves this by incorporating an Acoustic Balance Principle. By playing two sets of drivers 'in-phase', they offset equal and opposite forces to make the build up of vibrations a thing of the past.
How much bass you experience in your music depends on many factors: the type of music, how loud it is, the space in which it's played – and not least the size of the speakers (cabinets) .
In response to this, our sound engineers have developed Adaptive Bass Linearisation - a Bang & Olufsen patented solution ensuring more bass in small speaker cabinets and where surplus capacity in the amplifiers and driver units are used for bass extension. Hereby the speaker can reproduce more bass than it normally would be able to do.
The Adaptive Bass Linearisation technology measures automatically, and continuously, the signal level and maximise the sound quality coming from your Bang & Olufsen speakers at any given sound levels.
We are extremely confident you'll be astonished by the amount of bass coming from your wall.
When you're installing BeoLab 15 & 16 in a very large room you'll need extra long cables. Normally, longer cables weaken bass performance. At Bang & Olufsen, however, we've already taken this in to consideration.
Our automatic cable calibration compensates for power loss in cables spanning long distances between speakers and amplifiers. In fact, your can have up to 100 meter long cables and still enjoy the great musical experience you deserve.
Any product bearing the Bang & Olufsen name marks our eternal quest for perfect materials, channelling perfect sound. In our dedicated anodisation facility in Denmark we create exclusive, anodised colours and shapes surpassing the highest standards.
BeoLab 15 is one half solid aluminium, a careful and demanding transformation that involves grinding this precious, raw material into a matt, anodised speaker frame. Degreased, matt pickled, scoured, oxidated, dyed and lastly, sealed. It is a process that truly honours natural perfection.
BeoLab 16 goes through the same process as BeoLab 15, creating a stunning, coherent visual showcase of the beauty of ground aluminium in its natural beauty. Radiating a subtle force, the treatment of anodised aluminium requires nothing less than meticulous perfection. An incredibly demanding process that fully demonstrates Bang & Olufsen's unwavering commitment in the quest for eternal beauty.
The engineers at Bang & Olufsen are determined to integrate all modern, multi-channeled media into a single, seamless Bang & Olufsen solution.
BeoLab 15 & 16 is a Power Link speaker system offering seamless integration of your entertainment channels. Connect Amplifier 1 to your Master Link system, and you can easily transfer morning news audio from the Bang & Olufsen television in your living room over to the BeoLab 15 in your kitchen, without missing a single beat.
Upgrade your streaming experience
Connect your BeoLab 15 & 16 to BeoSound Essence and you have a complete sound system to unleash your favorite digital songs. BeoSound Essence works with Apple Airplay and DLNA – just to name a few – so that anybody can play music from virtually any smartphone, tablet, Mac, PC or media server. Finally, you get to enjoy the true meaning of digital music.
Explore BeoSound Essence
When we presented our first radio in the early 1920s, gramophones and radios were the home's only source of audio entertainment. Since then, television, Blu-ray, internet, hard-disk recorders and wireless music have become part of our everyday lives and an integral part of Bang & Olufsen.
In the home, office or hotel, it is now crucial that these entertainment channels are accessible through an integrated solution and it is our philosophy that this solution should be as intuitive and simple as possible. BeoSound Essence is a perfect example of this philosophy.

Coach, What's the Deal?
Matt Eichel
October 21 2013 05:04AM
If the 2013-14 NHL Awards would come out today with its nominees for Most Inconsistent Act in the NHL thus far, the Winnipeg Jets would be a close lock to win it (here I'd like to plug the referees inconsistency on penalty calling, but I think I speak for about 99.9% of fans who watch hockey - everyone complains about reffing, thus a moot point).
And as I sit drinking my morning coffee ready for another day of work, I know for certain that I will be putting in at least a 100-110% better effort that those who don blue every gameday to play hockey and make millions, while I am about two zeros of a paycheck off what they make.
So what's the difference?
Maybe ask the coach: Hey Coach, what's the deal?
I'll admit I have and still am (to an extent) a Cladue Noel fan. He's genuine, honest, and very up front about everything that goes on with this team.
His jokes are good, his stories are bordering on legendary, and it's nice to have a face and a voice that can compete with John Tortorella on a nightly basis for a good quote.
But has Claude Noel become a raving side show that may take away from the goal he and the organization are trying to accomplish?
Noel is 61-56-13 in his first two season behind the Jets bench - a very timid winning percentage for a coach who has taken the best of situations and made the team work.
This season, however, is proving that the honeymoon with our NHL team has already closed and left the resort so to speak.
Sitting among the 15,004 - wait 14,977 - last night, it has become apparent that if the team isn't going to perform on the ice as well as they need to draw those fans, they won't want to come. Evidence: their cousin Winnipeg Blue Bombers - no one in Winnipeg wants to watch a so-so team - we are all fairweather fans.
And to top it off, we are seemingly still playing the same style of hockey as the last two seasons or at least trying to anyways.
Did Claude get the memo about us switching conferences? We're in the conference where the defence is stingier and the offense isn't so free-wheeling anymore.
The one where a Toby Enstrom or a Dustin Byfuglien may be exposed a little more often by an aggressive forecheck.
Watching Evander Kane and Blake Wheeler do the same identical moves they always do - power hard towards the corner - makes me realize that I am watching the replica of the 2011-12 and 2012-13 teams except against Western Conference opponents in games that matter.
So far, the Jets are 1-3 against divisional opponents with the only win coming via shootout versus St. Louis. The Jets have yet to win a divisional game cleanly.
With four divisonal games to finish off October after Washington (an old divisional rival) comes to town, the Jets need to have more of a game plan than switching up the lines every second shift.
So whether it is the coach's fault or not, this team seems to be regressing and - to my shame to admit - this team has missed Ron Hainsey a bit (ouch).
Everyone wants and needs to blame someone - why not the coach?
It isn't True North style or procedure to do so, but if nothing changes, when will it be time to end the side show and make sure the players get the message that True North is trying to send.
We need to win.
For sure on missing Hainsey. I'll say it "what were we thinking" we had a D-Man & Goalie for the price of one AND he had a better save % than what we have now. But from what I hear he wasnt staying no matter what. So this is the result we wont even be close to making the playoffs if it keeps going like this. And we all know with our fragile "D" things could get even worse.
October 21 2013, 08:46AM
I think True North has met the goals set out for team management. Chevyldayoff just got a two year extension to his contract. It is not for his trading savvy...he has yet to make a player for player trade. It is not for the on ice product on an unchanging roster...which has been very average from day 1. It is for the bottom line....$9 beers and profit goals. Money is being made. That is the main goal of True North.
October 21 2013, 12:19PM
I fully agree with you and 8-Ball, Matt. We miss Hainsey. I don't blame Hainsey for not wanting to stay. He was an offensive dman in Columbus - the kind that gets you a 4.5Mx5 years contract - and then was put out to be the team's whipping boy in Winnipeg. Not only was he the butt of jokes, but it hurt his earning potential as well. And the team wasn't going to win a Stanley on the back of his sacrifice. He's only 32. A good season in Carolina could earn him another 15 million before retirement.
Great article, Matt.

"Normally I wear an 8. Have to wear a 9 in this designer. Well made shoe. The ankle strap is too short. I have average ankles and I am narrow in the heel. The last hole is very tight. Would fit someone with skinny ankles. The wedge heel is very GOLD."

Ultra Sophisticated Wedge
"This was my very first purchase from this Italian designer and I can say it wont be my last. These wedges are ultra sophisticated and classy. Just make sure you order one size up as it does run short. I wear a size 8.5 and had to order a 9. The simple, clean lines of the gold wedge are certainly a show or should I say a 'shoe' stopper. These are vesatile enough from a formal cocktail event (pair with your fave little black dress) to a jazzed up look with skinny jeans and a crisp white fitted shirt. I did step out in fine style for the holidays in these and turned heads. Thank you DSW for making luxury more affordable and Happy Holly-days:-))"

"nicknamed "lady gaga" wedge...this is such a simple shoe with great lines...the heel is very very recessed would compliment any outfit from jeans to formal..i got to wear on dressy occasions and wanted to invest in a statement shoe, because when the time comes for something super dressy, i am always disappointed in my "stock" selection at home..ensure you get 1-2 sizes bigger..had to return the size i would usually wear - just couldnt pull the shoe off in that size..the ankle buckle strap dug into foot...absolutely gorgeous!"

Today I want to present an open source software created for the asset management OCSInventory, and in the next days i want to post information about Fusioninventory and GLPI. I will focus on programs that allow you to have an inventory of your hardware and software that allow you to manage everything with discovery tools, reports and alerts, but first let's see what's the mean of Asset Management:
From Wikipedia:
Asset management, broadly defined, refers to any system whereby things that are of value to an entity or group are monitored and maintained. It may apply to both tangible assets and to intangible concepts such as intellectual property and goodwill.
Asset management is a systematic process of operating , maintaining, and upgrading assets cost-effectively, (American Associate of State Highway and Transportation Officials)
Alternative views of asset management in the engineering environment are:
- The practice of managing assets so that the greatest return is achieved (this concept is particularly useful for productive assets such as plant and equipment)
- the process by which built systems of facilities are monitored and maintained, with the objective of providing the best possible service to users (appropriate for public infrastructure assets)

Hey, wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world? Harry and Lloyd from Dumb & Dumber are clueless about almost everything around them – except a surprising expertise in how to be annoying. Lloyd's "most annoying sound in the world" hits all the right, aggravating notes; it's unpleasant, distracting, difficult to ignore, and you do not know when it will stop – it's pure obnoxiousness. How could it not be annoying?
Well, since you asked, a new book has the exact answer you need. Written by NPR Science Correspondent Joe Palca and Science Friday's Flora Lichtman, Annoying: The Science of What Bugs Us explores thescientific findings of what irks us and why. From loud cell phone conversations to your spouse's grating habits, Palca and Lichtman uncover the fascinating science behind being annoyed.
So, how could Lloyd's screaming not annoy you? If you were missing a specific part of your brain, the cingulate cortex, the "most annoying sound in the world" might not bother you at all. The cingulate cortex is involved in emotion forming and processing. So without it you cannot form an emotional response to Lloyd's "most annoying sound in the world." How do we know this? Patients who underwent a cingulotomy (a removal of the cingulate cortex) to treat an obsession were able to ignore the obsession post-surgery. In addition, at the University of Southern California a study examined the brains of annoyed participants in an MRI machine found a positive correlation between blood flow to the cingulate cortex and level of anger.
Those studies suggest the cingulate cortex plays an important role in annoyance, but definitive research has yet to be done. So, for fun, let's keep your cingulate cortex intact and start removing two other portions of your brain: the hippocampus, an area of the brain crucial for consolidating memories from short- to long-term, and the amygdala, the section of the brain responsible for forming and retaining emotional memories. Say you are sitting in a quiet café reading a book and the person next to you sucks on their straw loudly. At first, it does not bother you – you assume the person will stop – but then the person keeps doing it and the sound becomes more and more annoying until you cannot even attempt to read your book. Without the hippocampus, you would not remember that the straw sound even annoyed you. But, and here's the interesting part, you would feel annoyed if you still had your amygdala intact. With your cingulate cortex in place, you would become annoyed and your amygdala would translate your annoyance into an emotional memory. So, even if you believed it was the first time you heard that sound, you would feel annoyed. Cutting out the hippocampus and amygdala might even stop you from getting annoyed altogether – as long as you cannot form an emotional memory and you forget the straw sound before you become annoyed, you can read your book in peace.
The brain is a small focus of Annoying: The Science of What Bugs Us – there's more to what irritates us. Annoyance is a complex mix of biology, psychology, chemistry, and other science disciplines – and even if understanding it does not solve those daily annoyances, at least you will understand why.

Snag Proof Moss Master Tournament Frog 1/2oz
It's always a lot of fun when bass are smashing topwater lures, and it's even better when they're eating frogs. Thick grass, moss mats, and pads attract and hold lots of bass but they are almost impossible to fish without some kind of weedless bait. Snag Proof Moss Master Frogs are the perfect bait to throw across the top of floating grass and mats into emergent weeds for some rod-ripping, heart-stopping topwater action. Imagine casting your frog back under some over-hanging willows and getting flushed as soon as the bait hits the water, or hopping it along until it reaches a hole in the grass where you pause the frog on the edge, twitching it in the open water until a depth charge goes off. This is summertime fishing at its best!
Check out our selection of rods designed for fishing frogs and rats.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I have been fishing these baits since I was about 8 years old, now at 35 I have caught thousands of quality bass including my personal best 7lbs. 04ozs.. I have fished these, right a side of other hollow body frogs and these hands down crush them every time! I always have one tied on no matter time of year, fun fishing, or in a tournament. If you are looking for a quality durable bait, that will catch you both numbers and big fish. YOU JUST FOUND THEM!!!! SO GOOD THEY CATCH BASS SITTING STILL!!!!!
From: Stanley: Vernon, CT 5/12/15
Comments: This frog isn't as good looking as koppers or spro or others, it hasn't the greatest hook ever, it hasnt the best detailed finishes... But that frog made in the USA is a fish catcher, it's resistant, it's durable, and if you tightly open the hook's gap, your hookup ratio will increase a lot. Try those US made frogs! They work great.
From: Fab: France 8/2/14
Comments: Good looking frog, I really liked how the legs are attached but the hooks I got on mine were extremely dull. I'm going to try the "Bobby's perfect frog." I might have gotten a dud though.
From: Spencer: San Luis Obispo, CA
Comments: I have this frog in chartreuse and im happy that i got 5 strikes in 1 hour, however i am pissed that not one of those fish were hooked... this frog sank within 1 minute of being in the water, it rolled over when i tried to walk the dog and the hooks are not in the right position to get a good hookset... i will not buy from snagproof again im going to try koppers. take my advice dont buy this frog!
From: Bassinincalifornia: Roseville, CA
Comments: this is a very good frog the Green color works great!

text: I like what you all said, but I think the main thing it weaken Obito's resolve, and thus weaken his shield I think Obito gave up honestly, just look at his 'What-Ifs" it was all friend based. I think Kishi made it more of a symbol that defies logic and reason. Each of the Rasegans were massive, and there were 9 of them. A Bijuu bomb would do the same damage and more, but I think it takes time to gather the chakra, and they couldn't attack at the same time while the Bijuu bomb went off.

ACE Fit Share
Starting Position: This is a partner drill and it is recommended that you work with a training partner who has experience with strength training and/or sports conditioning. Set-up a bench and a stretch mat so that they are perpendicular to one another (in a T position). Lie on your back on the mat with your head in the direction of the bench. Your knees are bent and feet flat on the floor. Your training partner should be standing on the bench holding a medicine ball directly over your outstretched arms and hands.
Your training partner should communicate with you to let you know when he or she is releasing the ball. They release the ball to allow it to drop straight down. As you prepare to catch the ball keep your abdominals engaged (braced) to stabilize your spine.
Catch the ball with both hands and slow down the speed of the ball (decelerate) as you bend your elbows and bring the ball in to your chest. The elbows stay wide and out to the side.
Once the ball touches your chest, explosively push the ball away from your chest by straightening your arms and throwing the ball up in to the air. Make sure that you throw it straight up so your training partner can catch the ball and prepare for the next repetition.
Exercise Variation: This exercise can be performed without a training partner by lying flat on a mat and throwing a medicine ball straight in to the air and catching it as it travels back down towards your chest and hands.Keep your abdominals engaged and contracted with your feet pushed in to the floor to ensure core stability throughout the range-of-motion of this exercise.

By EUGENE SWALBERGSports Writer
December is the time most prepare for Christmas but the lady Pirates have been busy playing basketball. The Green River lady Pirates hosted the San Juan lady Broncos for a three game (freshman, junior varsity, varsity) series of basketball where the lady Broncos swept the lady Pirates but that doesn't mean there wasn't some good basketball to be had.
The varsity squad started out strong on defense limiting the lady Broncos to four field goals in the first eight minutes but were limited themselves to two. During the second quarter the lady Pirates kept up the 'in your. face' defense and limited the Broncos to one less field goal while the Pirates added one more to take a slim lead into the locker room.
Whatever happened during the break wasn't so good for the lady Pirates as the lady Broncos busted out nine field goals (two from long range) during the third quarter compared to two for the home squad. During the fourth quarter the Pirates got back to their stingy ways and held the Broncos giving the Pirates a chance to drain a few field goals for themselves. However, the hole dug during the third was too much to overcome, plus the fact that the Broncos made a few more baskets from the charity stripe.
The lady Pirates dropped a game that was within their grasp. With six minutes left in the final quarter they were down by three. With just over a minute remaining they were separated by six points - a deficit easily erased by stingy defense and quick accurate shooting - the gals wearing white provided some good defense but just couldn't manage the hurry up offense and the game slipped away.
Feleisha Antillon repeated as the high point leader again scoring 12 followed closely by Sydney Thayn and Jamie Johnson with 11 each.
Afterwards, Coach Parsons praised the Pirates on their hustle play and hard defense.
Next the lady Pirates traveled to Duchesne for another three games with similar results. The lady Pirates only scored one field goal in each of the first two quarters. After the break the lady Pirates managed to find the bottom of the hoop and scored 12 points. The lady Eagles also knew where the bottom of the basket was and scored 21. It was the final quarter that was the bright spot for the lady Pirates. A will to not lie down and give up and battle hard to the end produced 13 points for the Pirates and only one field goal for the home team and a point from the free throw line. Again, Coach Parsons found the positive in the game and complemented his team on the fact that they finished strong going down the stretch. The next game up pitted the lady Tigers against the lady Pirates on their home floor but the outcome was never in question as the lady Tigers managed only eight points in the first half compared to 27 for the lady Pirates. During the second half the lady Pirates scored 27 to Tabiona's 17. The focus on hard nosed, tough defense by the lady Pirates is producing some exciting basketball and setting a nice tone for region play to begin just before Christmas.
For the second time this season, the Pirates played the Grand County lady Red Devils. This time there was a different feel. This go around the game was played on the Pirates home floor but the pace of the game was more up tempo. Where during the last meeting between the two teams the lady Pirates held the lady Red Devils scoreless during the first and third quarters; this time the ladies in red put points on the board during each quarter, just not enough of them. The battle tested lady Pirates fired up their already tough defense and treated the fans to another great game of round ball.
The lady Pirates played at Altamont on Dec. 20 and hosted Navajo Mountain Dec. 22. Their first game after the break will be at Intermountain Christian Jan. 5 at 3 p.m.

Big solar panels in structures may soon become something of this past. A new project seeks to produce new solar technologies for tapping the sunlight's bountiful energy straight through building construction materials on their own. Looks appears to be one of the forces that are driving extensive deployment of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). This tantalising energy that is sustainable supplies the chance of generating electricity and changing main-stream construction materials. The demand for diverse shapes, sizes, colours and transparency amounts is high; nonetheless, these products are lacking. Current PV modules are derived from fixed shapes and electric production. Even though this can be ideal for large solar plants, it really is costly and inefficient for building designs or other products that are solar-powered. Addressing the need for customised PV cells which can be flexible and simple to integrate, the project centers around developing unique cell that is solar and manufacturing processes. A first aim is to build up brand new scribing and printing technologies which will enable monolithically interconnected versatile solar modules. The newest monolithic interconnection procedures should simplify the manufacturing of thin-film modules, permitting modification of this electrical properties of a PV module along with its decoration. Another main part of focus is on identifying novel materials for the front surface grid make it possible for various habits and colours. Significant progress in creating the BIPV while the product-integrated PV prototypes happens to be already achieved. A significant part regarding the work happens to be intended for developing the solar cell fabrication processes. Another task happens to be to produce custom-made copper-indium-gallium-selenide materials to be deposited in the flexible substrates. Focus was placed on attaining selective ablation by laser regarding the solar mobile movies that is important for producing thin-film solar modules. Other project activities consist of growth of high-precision, large-scale publishing technologies that enable exact publishing of interconnection levels in to the laser-scribed microgrooves. With the exception of buildings, thin-film, lightweight and versatile high-performance solar modules are attractive for many applications such as for instance electronic devices and vehicles that are electric.
