In the fragmented media world, it sometimes feels like content is just a commodity. But the stories you tell, and the personality you bring to them, are what makes you unique. We believe that content with value, and the brands that create it, demand the best editorial design thinking.
Mark Porter Associates is an award-winning design studio, based in the UK but with a global perspective. We work with all kinds of media companies, from the small to the very big, creating products and identities for digital, print, and television. Our design has won D&AD Yellow and Black Pencils, SPD Gold Awards, and even received an award for clarity and readability from the Plain English Campaign.
If content is what you care about, you should talk to us.
A comprehensive rebrand which broke new ground in TV news design. We completely reimagined RTL Nieuws, the biggest commercial news network in the Netherlands, from on-air, to studio, music, and digital platforms. Collaboration with Smörgåsbord Studio.
L'Express is an iconic French news magazine with a remarkable history. We delivered a comprehensive redesign and rebrand which was a resounding success with readers and advertisers. Bernard Henri-Lévy, France's most famous philosopher and cultural commentator, tweeted: "Bravo, bravo, bravo!"
Mark Porter created a design philosophy and style for The Guardian which helped it build an international reputation. Beyond the influential and award-winning designs for the newspaper, website, and apps, the identity rolled out into motion, advertising and environments, making the Guardian one of the world's most recognisable news organisations.
We collaborated with our friends at Spanish studio Atlas on the launch of a brand new digital news platform. EL Nacional was founded by some of Barcelona's most distinguished journalists, and has big ambitions to be a major force in Catalan, European and Global news.
Internazionale is simply unique — a Rome-based news magazine and website with the highest journalistic standards and a passionately committed young audience. They have become friends, and as good friends should, they push us to do our best. We gave them their identity, print and web design, and are working closely with them on long-term strategy and development.
RTLZ wanted to grow up, from a daytime financial news service into a credible and sophisticated business lifestyle channel. We delivered assets and visual guidelines which ensured that all elements shared a cohesive and unmistakable look. In the words of the tagline we coined for the channel, it's "Business — not as usual." (Collaboration with Smörgåsbord Studio).
Smart Swedes wouldn't leave home without Svenska Dagbladet — Stockholm's seriously cool newspaper of record. We consulted for Creative Director Anna Thurfjell on a range of projects, including redesigns of the daily paper and website, and a series of stylish magazines and supplements.
UK charity Nesta asked us to create a new digital magazine on the theme of Innovation — one where the magazine, like the ideas it covered, would be an innovation in itself. The Long+Short pushed the boundaries, bringing high-end magazine design and art direction to HTML-based publishing (without parallax scrolling).
Business matters in Norway — the country's Government Pension Fund is the world's biggest investor. Dagens Naeringsliv is the go-to news source for the Norwegian business community. We refreshed their identity, gave the newspaper and website a bold, contemporary new design, and improved the reading experience in preparation for the introduction of a paywall and premium subscriber-only content.

My Blog has moved to gnome.org. Link: Marco Pesenti Gritti
My Blog has moved to gnome.org. Link: Marco Pesenti Gritti
I started phase 2 of my mozilla SDK fight. In other words I'm starting to identify and solve problems with the embedding API. Mozilla hackers seem to be interested in feedback and that's a good start. I like how mozilla 2.0 plans are shaping up, I think mozilla has a chance to become a very good development platform on the not too long time.
One positive aspect of working in two communities is that when you are sad about how things are going in one, you can feel better about progresses on the other side ;)
I think there are a few misconceptions that are stopping the Mono debate to be productive:
Energy can be ambivalent. It's without any doubt positive when it builds something, even incomplete or flawed. But it can also be disruptive. In which case you'd better try and control it.
Seth is expressing very well my (and I'm sure of a large part of the community) concerns about Mono. Sadly this looks already like yet another (de facto) fork of the free desktop strategy. I hope there is a way to recover but I wish we had this argument a while ago.
I landed a pair of mozilla embedding patches, and I'm waiting for another one to be checked in. The GRE work is almost complete. I guess I'll have to wait embed string/private string incompatibilities to be fixed though, even if I'm not experiencing problems on linux.
Integrating mozilla and GNOME printing is not as easy as I'd have hoped, mainly because there is not yet something like a GNOME print system (or at least something stable, that we are planning to keep supporting in the future). Though I think providing a generic, full featured, frontend that can work with multiple backends could be a good start.
I should get back hacking on Epiphany a bit more, I guess I'm just a bit demotivated and time lacking at the moment.
I'd like to give gcj a try, but I'm too lazy to bootstrap another jhbuild tree. I guess I'll just wait the whole thing to be merged in real jhbuild.
On a side note, I finally graduated, it was about time :P
My thesis discussion is near now (18 May) and I'm pretty busy organizing latest details, did not get much done in the last few days :/
The GRE work is progressing slowly but pieces are getting in place as I would like. In particular Darin will work on a fix to allow mixing nsEmbedString and private string in the same DSO. That means my GRE patch will not break mozilla static build (the hard part of mozilla development is to deal with multiple platforms and builds) and that we will be able to port epiphany code to use nsEmbedString gradually.
Had to setup a windows build of mozilla to be able to test nsComObsolete.h kill off. That was really not fun, it's so much easier to install a linux distribution with all the tools you need then setup cygwin/mingw.
jorn You are my hero. I think your contribution to GNOME multimedia will be great, indipendently of what player will be officially distributed.
I'm doing some very boring work to cleanup epiphany mozilla inclusions and separate public api, private api, api incompatible with embed string. We are actually doing better than I thought. We are not using that much private stuff and incompatibility with embed strings looks fixable. I think this will help me figuring out stuff we need to fix in mozilla SDK.
Got approval for another Mozilla SDK bug. I have not been able to get someone to check it in so far though :/ Mozilla patch lifecycle is somewhat bloaty. I need to bug 4 different people (r, sr, a, checkin) to get a patch in. Oh well I guess at some point I'll be a mozilla guru and I'll get a cvs account ;)
This really need to be fixed. You cant have to go through 3 different private interfaces to be able to attach mouse event listeners.
Argh, need to go to civil service now, I'm late as usual ...
Finally I've been able to post the gnome print integration plan bug. I think it's a great, concrete chance to work with mozilla developers on something that will affect both epiphany and firefox, let's not waste it ;)
Sorry, I really hope I'll find ways to be more useful :/
My fight with mozilla SDK continues. It's taking a lot of my time but I think it's necessary, it's not my favourite hack but someone must do it. So, since this has been the main topic of this blog lately I'm in debt of an explanation to my 3 readers. Gtkmozembed is a nice, simple widget that allows to embed mozilla renderer in GNOME applications. To be able to adopt it more widely in GNOME applications (see devhelp, yelp, evolution at least) we need to solve some issues:
I opened bug 140713 about this. Feel free to add notes there if you are interested. It's the first of the plan tracking bugs (man, I'm slow), I'm going to post one about gnome print integration ASAP.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

I'm really disappointed in your behavior here. What are you looking for? A locker-room showdown or something? Isn't this childish enough already?
Once again, as in another thread, I'll concede that you are the bigger macho man, and give you another one for the "win" column. I'm bored with the petty jabs.
You used to be a voice of reason here....even calling for civility at one time. Did you just give up altogether on that? I'm sorry to see that. I once thought you would be a good moderator here, but lately, you've been just as deep in the ditch as anyone.
Have a good one.

Model Angela Lindvall Invites Us to Her All-Eco L.A. Pad
That's the subtitle of The Hundred Dresses, by writer and fashion blogger Erin McKean (dressaday.com) and fashion illustrator Donna Mehalko, just out from Bloomsbury. Chock-full of fashion lore and visual inspiration, this alphabetized collection of 100 unforgettable silhouettes—from "The Mary Quant" to "The Chanel Jersey Dress" to, yes, "The Jersey Shore"—is catnip for fashion-history buffs.
The visionary influences of artistic luminaries such as John Singer Sargent, Mondrian, and Vladimir Nabokov are traced here—and who knew way back when that enduring styles would be spawned by MTV videos such as Guns 'n' Roses' "November Rain" and Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" (pictured here). Cultural touchstones both high and low, hallowed and novel, are explored in these pithy pairings of imagery and text. Here's a slide show of seven inspired entries:
Reprinted from 'The Hundred Dresses' by Erin McKean. Copyright © 2013 by Erin McKean. Used by permission of Bloomsbury USA
The Sack dress was a late-1950s innovation that came in reaction to the "New Look" of tight waists and full skirts. The Sack, or chemise, had no waistline at all, and was roundly despised by men, who saw in the hiding of the female form a Communist plot. Adlai Stevenson said that it came from Moscow, and Bob Hope joked that Russian women, dowdy by American standards, had "been wearing sack dresses for years." Popular culture (including a song – "In The Sack," by Jerry Herman) made much of the fact that, inside the Sack dress, a woman's essential figure was indiscernible. (Anita Loos wrote that no man was going to "puzzle his brain" over the shape of a girl in a bikini.) Designed by Balenciaga and Givenchy (who were likely inspired by Paul Poiret), and championed by Carmel Snow, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, the dress proved very popular and was widely copied at every price point.
The message of the Sack dress is one of fashion over allure: it's a dress notable for repelling male attention, to which the wearer says, "so what?" Wearers of the Sack dress would rather be chic than sexy, rather be free than fancied.
Accessories: Kitten heels, a kicky hat, large earrings, gloves, and a healthy disregard for men's opinions.
Related: The Caftan.
Worn by: Audrey Hepburn (especially in the Givenchy versions), the Duchess of Windsor, Doris Day.

Today Dr. Michel Kazatchkine tendered his resignation as Executive Director of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (The Fund). Regardless of whether you've ever heard of the French AIDS scientist, or even of The Fund, you should keep reading. This is a critical, dangerous moment for all of Global Health.
In his letter delivered today to the Board of The Fund, Kazatchkine made clear the parameters of the political struggle that forced his resignation. "The Global Fund has helped to spearhead an entirely new framework of international development partnership. Although we still have a long way to go to make this new approach work in every country, I believe that the Global Fund has permanently changed the development landscape for the better," Kazatchkine wrote.
But under stress during the world economic crisis, with radically declining support from donors, a battle has ensued, Kazatchkine wrote. "Today, the Global Fund stands at a cross-road. The prevailing economic climate poses new and formidable challenges to all international development efforts. In the international political economy, power-balances are shifting and new alignments of countries and decision-making institutions are emerging or will have to be developed to achieve global goals. Within the area of global health, the emergency approaches of the past decade are giving way to concerns about how to ensure long-term sustainability, while at the same time, efficiency is becoming a dominant measure of success."

During his second inaugural address, President Barack Obama touched on a problem which continues to plague us, income inequality:
"[….] we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America's prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own."
According to economist Joseph Stiglitz, income inequality is preventing us from achieving a more robust recovery:
There are four major reasons inequality is squelching our recovery. The most immediate is that our middle class is too weak to support the consumer spending that has historically driven our economic growth. While the top 1 percent of income earners took home 93 percent of the growth in incomes in 2010, the households in the middle — who are most likely to spend their incomes rather than save them and who are, in a sense, the true job creators — have lower household incomes, adjusted for inflation, than they did in 1996. The growth in the decade before the crisis was unsustainable — it was reliant on the bottom 80 percent consuming about 110 percent of their income.
Second, the hollowing out of the middle class since the 1970s, a phenomenon interrupted only briefly in the 1990s, means that they are unable to invest in their future, by educating themselves and their children and by starting or improving businesses. Continue. reading….

Movie review
Vanessa Hudgens stands out in 'Gimme Shelter,' but the movie loses its focusJanuary 23, 2014 8:18 PM
Inspired by real stories, "Gimme Shelter" is an earnest movie about a 16-year-old girl who musters the courage to leave her abusive, drug-addicted mother. She even manages to find the dad she never met, let alone knew.
But that's just the beginning; she's a long way from living happily ever after. It turns out Agnes "Apple" Bailey (Vanessa Hudgens) is pregnant and unwilling to take the advice of her Wall Street executive father.
Starring: Vanessa Hudgens, Brendan Fraser, Rosario Dawson, James Earl Jones.
Rating: PG-13 for mature thematic material involving mistreatment, some drug content, violence and language -- all concerning teens.
"It's time that you turn the page on this. Put it all behind you, so you can move forward," Tom Fitzpatrick (Brendan Fraser) counsels.
In other words, have an abortion.
Apple makes it to a clinic but bolts and lands back on the street, homeless, hungry, desperate and convinced that "God don't care about me." A kindly priest (James Earl Jones) tries to prove otherwise, introducing her to a woman who converted her residence into a shelter for pregnant teens with nowhere else to turn.
But Apple's mother will not relinquish her hold on her, her father is hovering on the margins, and Apple's roommate tempts with a plan to move out of the safe confines of the house in this movie allowing Ms. Hudgens to shake off the last vestiges of her "High School Musical" days.
True, she has been doing that with roles in releases such as "Spring Breakers" and "Sucker Punch." Here, though, she sheds any hint of glamour -- she chops her hair, wears no makeup and sports rings in her nose and lip, a tattoo flaring from her neck and a pregnant belly -- and it serves her well.
She gives herself a stony look, devoid of joy or optimism, speaks with a streetwise accent, cries on occasion with conviction and walks like a girl who hasn't had a break -- ever. "I am done being passed off as someone's case number!" she vows, recounting a miserable childhood of being shuffled through foster homes and case workers before circling back into her mother's neglectful care.
"Gimme Shelter," pointedly or coincidentally being released two days after the March for Life in Washington, D.C., is the sort of movie many adults and others say they want but don't always patronize.
It boasts name actors -- the cast also includes Rosario Dawson as Apple's troubled mother and Ann Dowd as the shelter founder -- but probably would have gone directly to DVD or cable without Ms. Hudgens. It's sort of like a daring TV movie ... from the 1980s.
Written and directed by Ron Krauss, "Gimme Shelter" seems sincere and well-meaning. He initially was inspired by meeting Kathy DiFiore, who was being honored at the United Nations for her work with teenage mothers. He then spent a year at one of her shelters, recording nearly 200 hours of interviews with the residents.
However, either due to a writing lapse or editing choice, Mr. Krauss allows a supporting character to undergo a change of heart by the end without showing how or why that happened. The screenplay never addresses whether any effort is made to get the young moms to finish their educations, move into apartments or jobs or, in the rarest of cases, re-establish contact with the babies' fathers.
Mr. Krauss seems determined to give the movie a fairy tale ending and he does -- twice, in fact. He also provides photos of the real people behind the movie, which brings the story home in a way that Hollywood actors never could.
Still, he gives Ms. Hudgens the chance to prove she is a 25-year-old of surprising depth, risk-taking and range.

9.8: Probability of Compound Events
We begin this lesson with a reminder of probability.
The experimental probability is the ratio of the proposed outcome to the number of experiment trials.
Probability can be expressed as a percentage, a fraction, a decimal, or a ratio.
This lesson will focus on compound events and the formulas used to determine the probability of such events.
Compound events are two simple events taken together, usually expressed as and .
Independent and Dependent Events
Example: Suppose you flip a coin and roll a die at the same time. What is the probability you will flip a head and roll a four?
These events are independent. Independent events occur when the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the second event. Rolling a four has no effect on tossing a head.
To find the probability of two independent events, multiply the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event.
When events depend upon each other, they are called dependent events. Suppose you randomly draw a card from a standard deck then randomly draw a second card without replacing the first. The second probability is now different from the first.
To find the probability of two dependent events, multiply the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event, after the first event occurs.
Example: Two cards are chosen from a deck of cards. What is the probability that they both will be face cards?
Solution: Let and . The total number of face cards in the deck is .
Mutually Exclusive Events
Events that cannot happen at the same time are called mutually exclusive events. For example, a number cannot be both even and odd or you cannot have picked a single card from a deck of cards that is both a ten and a jack. Mutually inclusive events, however, can occur at the same time. For example a number can be both less than 5 and even or you can pick a card from a deck of cards that can be a club and a ten.
When finding the probability of events occurring at the same time, there is a concept known as the "double counting" feature. It happens when the intersection is counted twice.
In mutually exclusive events, , because they cannot happen at the same time.
To find the probability of either mutually exclusive events or occurring, use the following formula.
To find the probability of one or the other mutually exclusive or inclusive events, add the individual probabilities and subtract the probability they occur at the same time.
Example: Two cards are drawn from a deck of cards. Let:
: card is a club
: card is a 7
: card is a heart
Find the following probabilities:
Practice Set
- Define independent events.
Are the following events independent or dependent?
- Rolling a die and spinning a spinner
- Choosing a book from the shelf then choosing another book without replacing the first
- Tossing a coin six times then tossing it again
- Choosing a card from a deck, replacing it, and choosing another card
- If a die is tossed twice, what is the probability of rolling a 4 followed by a 5?
- Define mutually exclusive.
Are these events mutually exclusive or mutually inclusive?
- Rolling an even and an odd number on one die.
- Rolling an even number and a multiple of three on one die.
- Randomly drawing one card and the result is a jack and a heart.
- Randomly drawing one card and the result is black and a diamond.
- Choosing an orange and a fruit from the basket.
- Choosing a vowel and a consonant from a Scrabble bag.
- Two cards are drawn from a deck of cards. Determine the probability of each of the following events:
- (heart or club)
- (heart and club)
- (red or heart)
- (jack or heart)
- (red or ten)
- (red queen or black jack)
- A box contains 5 purple and 8 yellow marbles. What is the probability of successfully drawing, in order, a purple marble and then a yellow marble? {Hint: In order means they are not replaced.}
- A bag contains 4 yellow, 5 red, and 6 blue marbles. What is the probability of drawing, in order, 2 red, 1 blue, and 2 yellow marbles?
- A card is chosen at random. What is the probability that the card is black and is a 7?
Mixed Review
- A circle is inscribed within a square, meaning the circle's diameter is equal to the square's side length. The length of the square is 16 centimeters. Suppose you randomly threw a dart at the figure. What is the probability the dart will land in the square, but not in the circle?
- Why is not considered a polynomial?
- Factor .
- Simplify .
- Bleach breaks down cotton at a rate of 0.125% with each application. A shirt is 100% cotton.
- Write the equation to represent the percentage of cotton remaining after washes.
- What percentage remains after 11 washes?
- After how many washes will 75% be remaining?
- Evaluate .

Does the introduction of luxury EVs from BMW, Cadillac, and Mercedes spell doom for Tesla?
Sales of the car have improved, but not enough to turn the tide for advanced battery factories in the United States.
The automaker is focusing on hybrids instead, intending to produce 21 models by 2015.
The automaker blames rapid battery capacity loss on high mileage.
Battery packs are almost definitely less dangerous that a tank full of gasoline. Too bad.
Customers are starting to receive the long-promised electric vehicles.
It's taken a stake in start-up Bright Automotive
The company will start production of a high-performance car that reaches 198 mph and can get 78 mpg.
Lifetime is key because of the high cost of battery packs.
You'll be able to plug in anywhere, but without a special connector, you'll wait forever to recharge.

Kalona Sidewalk Quilts
Posted By Community On @ 6:26 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Downtown Kalona is attracting visitors with their quilts.
But what sets these quilts apart from the rest is the fact that their made of brick. The 42 different patterns on Kalona's sidewalks were all made available through donation. The plaques next to them indicate who sponsored the quilt and why they sponsored it.
According to Norma Yoder each quilt piece is made of a separate brick, so if one were to crack all they have to do is replace the damaged one. For those interested in a tour, all of the sidewalk quilts are pictured in a brochure available at the Chamber of Commerce and local businesses.

Sunday Independent
June 26, 1996, in Dublin, IrelandGuerin, a crime reporter for the Sunday Independent, was shot dead by assailants on a motorcycle as she was stopped in her car at a traffic light in Dublin. She had been repeatedly targeted for physical attacks, a shooting, and death threats because of her incisive, continuing investigation into Ireland's criminal underworld that had garnered her CPJ's 1995 International Press Freedom Award.
Two men, Brian Meehan and Paul Ward, were convicted for her murder in 1999 and 1998. Ward's conviction was overturned in 2002, but he remains in prison, where he is serving a 12-year sentence for taking part in a prison riot. John Gilligan, a known Dublin drug trafficker, was also charged but was acquitted because of lack of evidence on March 16, 2001, despite the judge's assertion that there were "grave suspicions" of Gilligan's complicity in the killing.

Seven South King County (Washington) school districts garnered a whopping $40 million federal grant with a holistic educational approach: "Start Strong," be "STEM Strong" and "Stay Strong."
It is a great day for innovation and collaboration as South King County schools savor the victory of winning a $40 million Race to the Top federal grant.
Schools in Auburn, Federal Way, Highline, Kent, Renton, Seattle and Tukwila make up the three-year-old Road Map District Consortium, a network of ideas and efforts from early learning to college prep to support students from ages 3 to 23.
The 16 winners nationwide, selected from 371 applicants, shared a common theme of being inventive and inclusive in their approach to education reforms.
In South King County, the usual working group of superintendents, teachers and principals expanded to involve local mayors, business leaders and the King County Housing Authority. The housing authority, with its connection to low-income families, was an insightful inclusion.
This is a game changer and a good bet to dramatically improve education for the 150,000 students in the Road Map District's 261 schools.
Coherent plans are in place for the money. They include: increasing the number of children ready for kindergarten and raising the quality of instruction in math and science and for English-language learners.
Early intervention for struggling students is a key focus of the grant. But another smart focus helps students plan bright futures that include college and career training.
The money will be used to add International Baccalaureate programs and Advanced Placement courses and train more teachers to teach them.
Expansions in science, technology, engineering and math and international courses will serve workplace needs unique to our local economy.
There's no need for other school districts to wait on the state for education reforms. The Road Map District Consortium offers a smart template.

Pros: Sound,Value,Build,Design,Support
Cons: Picks up interference from phone sometimes.
First let me declare that I am new to the head-fi world and this is my first dedicated amplifier. But with that said I would like to give my subjective review of the Little Dot MK III. Testing equipment is a MacBook Pro i7 (newest model if it matters) running to a HRT Music Streamer II DAC and then into the Little Dot MK III. Also I am using the AKG 702s with a gain setting of 10x on the amp.
A quick note the 702s only have roughly 80 hours of burn in and the amp only has about 6 hours as of this writing and i will update accordingly to the changes that burn in presents. With all of the formality stuff out of the way I can get into this exciting review!
First off as you can likely see the build quality and looks are simply wonderful and built to top notch standards. Everything got shipped perfectly no damage or anything and was packaged well. It came with some useful cables though I already had some so I just hooked it up to pre existing cables. First thing I did was set the gain to 10x for my 64 Ohm AKG 702s.
Starting it up I was impressed too say the least. I was presented with warmth and musicality and a nice soundstage. The soundstage managed to feel nice and wide on the songs that deserved it but also managed to stay nice in close when that was needed as well. Very adaptable to your taste of music and is definitely not limited to conventional classical, or jazz. In fact it worked quite well even with things like pop or heavy rock. It manages to retain great detail at the same time bringing the 'tube" sound too the table. Just for fun I turned off music and cranked the knob up the whole way and what I heard was pure silence and that is reflected in the great noise floor during music that can show it.
Day 2 and 20 hours of burn in later.
Much much more detail is now present and I am now hearing things that are extremely subtle with accuracy and detail. Bass has tightened up considerably and is now very present and and is not now as smudgy as it was before although I did not think it was at all bad in the beginning. Highs are not as bright as they first were and that is very pleasant cymbals now have striking detail,realism, and musicality and are not as harsh as yesterday. Separation of instruments also appears better.
This amp continues too impress me. I feel as though they have brought musicality too the 702s which were a little analytical but are now very musical and soothing too the ears. On another note this tube amp easily drives these phones, I rarely move the volume past half way if ever. I love the way pianos and guitars are rendered on this they sound stunning too say the least.
Day 4 and about 35 hours of burn in
I now feel that the burn is complete and I am getting the most from this amp excluding tube rolling and other mods.The signature tube sound is now more transparent and is a welcome audition to the sound. Musicality has also increased listening too jazz and classical is truly a delightful experience it sounds astonishingly realistic. I am blown away by the sound quality and since I lack the vocabulary terms to describe it I will end here. What this device is able to transcend from music is beautiful and must be heard. If your considering a tube headphone amp in or close to this price range definitely put this on your list to consider.
My only complaint is that I wish David would start making speaker amplifiers . I hope I was of use to somebody with this review. With that said good luck on your audio journeys and enjoy the music!

Whiplash is an injury to the soft tissues of the neck from a sudden jerking or "whipping" of the head. This type of motion strains the muscles and ligaments of the neck beyond their normal range of motion.
See also: Neck pain
When a vehicle stops suddenly in a crash or is hit from behind, the seat belt will keep a person's body from being thrown forward. But the head may snap forward, then backward, causing a whiplash injury.
In addition to car accidents, whiplash can be caused by roller coasters and other amusement park rides, sports injuries, or being punched or shaken. (Whiplash is one of the hallmarks of shaken baby syndrome.)
You may feel pain and stiffness in your neck for the first few days after a whiplash injury. You may feel better early on, but the pain and stiffness may come back several days later. This symptom can last for months or years.
The discomfort you feel may involve surrounding muscle groups in your head, chest, shoulders, and arms.
Steps to take care of your whiplash injury include:
You may want to reduce your activity only for the first couple of days. Then slowly resume your usual activities.
Do not perform activities that involve heavy lifting or twisting of your back or neck for the first 6 weeks after the pain begins. After 2 - 3 weeks, slowly begin exercising again. A physical therapist can help you decide when to begin stretching and strengthening exercises and how to do them.
Other steps that may help your neck pain improve are:
Call your doctor if:
Headrests in your car can reduce the severity of neck pain from a car accident. Make sure that the headrest is positioned properly for your height.
If you do get whiplash, learn proper stretching exercises once your neck has healed. This reduces the chance that neck pain or stiffness will come back.

- Tango an Anthology
What are the roots of tango? A lot has been written about the hazy origins of the tango, about its poetic and social topics, about the situation of the newly arrived immigrants in the American continent, etc. The mystery remains. What are the roots of tango? Sadness, solitude, exile? There is only one answer: the composers and the instrumentalists gave birth to tango and its appeal made it a widespread phenomenon. With this record we want to pay homage to the many musicians and composers who furnished the precious material used by the present instrumentalists, which in turn have interpreted their music in new ways, giving tango its distinctive style. To even attempt to compile a list of composers who have been or still are creating tangos is an impossible task. On this record we find the names of major composers such as Matos Rodriguez, Julio de Caro, Pintin Castelianos, Aleta, Laurenz and Trollo, as well as the most important contemporary composer: Astor Piazzolia. We are grateful to them and to many others like Firpo, Arolas, Barth, Cobin, Delfino and Gardel for this musical inheritance. We hope this music, which is part of the cultural heritage of the Rio de la Plata, will continue to please all tango fans. Aifredo Marcucci

Marcucci first saw the light of day in 1930, in Buenos Aires, center of the tango's beating heart. Cafes, nightclubs, dance halls, patios, living rooms, every corner of the city was drenched in the melancholy of the Argentinian people, translated into sound. Every evening the numerous competing orchestras stood ready to offer their audiences danceable consolation or steamy oblivion. Any ensemble worthy of the name had four or even five bandoneon players, four violinists, a pianist, a bass player, and two singers who provided a clearly understandable text for the love and grief of the music. In the traditional tango, the singers were the stars of the show. The alternately languorous and biting rhythms and the predictable interludes were only the ground on which the poets could engrave their unhappy loves, unfulfilled desires, and burning homesickness.
In this environment, Marcucci succumbed completely to music. At an early age he already had a bandoneon on his lap, the German squeezebox that had been promoted to mouthpiece of Argentina. His uncle, the well-known orchestra leader Carlos Marcucci, taught him to play the instrument and formed the young Marcucci into a gifted bandoneonist. In order to absorb the atmosphere from the inside out, Marcucci played in various children's bands before making the leap to professional groups. "We often had only one score for the pieces that we played", Marcucci remembers. "We had to manage with that, there were no copiers at the time. The music was put on the pianist's stand and we tried to read along a little. That way I learned to play a lot of repertoire by heart." (liner notes ccs 10997)

8% of South Dakota's population is American Indian (many from tribes who were run out of Minnesota); Minnesota's is 1%. South Dakota has a bunch of Indian reservations, Federal land and national parks; Minnesota, not so much. South Dakota's 2nd largest employer is an air force base; Minnesota has some recruiting stations in strip malls. The people of Minnesota should send the people of South Dakota a thank you card for bearing the burden of Minnesota's shameful treatment of the Indians...with a PS "and thanks for protecting us from Russian nukes and giving us numerous places to vacation." In addition, it's not surprising that many of the states with the highest per cap Federal spending (per the Tax Foundation) are also states with a higher military presence. In a nutshell...the Tax Foundation numbers don't necessarily out states as free-loaders as you'd have us to believe.
I never said that they were freeloaders but I will say that the data clearly shows that those states are more dependent on the federal government to sustain their economies than others and that there is a clear redistribution of federal tax dollars to those states. It may be because of the military, farm subsidize, FEMA payments, etc, etc. If you suggest a reduction in farm subsidize or the closing of a military base in one of these states all you will hear about are the jobs and associated economic losses, and to think the RNC chair now says "the government does not create any jobs."
Bottom line, those states get more money back than they pay in. I continue to find it ironic that many folks that post here that live in those high return states are all for lower taxes and less government when they already pay relatively lower taxes and get more government benefits than others.
Stop your drooling Henry. I know you covet the Sodak life. If you join the tax paying ranks, you can move here, but I don't want any freeloaders... you can stay in the PROM for that.
As a break-in period, start in Sioux Falls...lotsa libs there. But don't go west of the river unles you've had a course in 'Redneck'...we don't want this part of the state overrun by socialists.
After Johnson and his cronies had more votes come from the Pine Ridge res than there are voters, and defeated John Thune, we saw to it that wasn't gonna happen again. Voila! Guess who's now in the senate, and who's working to get enough $$$ to pay his back taxes? No it's not Johnson. He's still in Washington building his nestegg. But he'll never spend it.
It's a tossup who will go first...Kennedy, Byrd, or Johnson. Couldn't fault the dude running against him. Too much of a sympathy vote for Johnson. But the farm libs will soon understand his votes to follow the Obamaites are not what a true South Dakotan was voting for. And our neighbors to the North are looking very seriously at those sycophants they have in the Senate also. As they continue following in lock step with BHO and his policies, they will finally have their backsides exposed, and everyone will get into the kicking contest.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.

I received a call this afternoon that informed me of the passing of Randall Ayers from the Tuscaloosa area apparently in his sleep last night.
Many of you would know Randall from his judging assignments in A.K.C. HT's and his activity with the retriever community in the southeast.
Randall was also a charter member of the Central Al. H.R.C. club.
Sorry to see him pass. Don't have any info on arrangements.

Unfortunately my turkey dog Vic is down with a severe bacterial infection, the vet assures us he'll be back afield within 4 to 5 days with his clindamycin treatments. In spite of all the tick treatments and inspections he has another case of anaplasmosis so right after he completes climdamycin he'll be on doxycycline for 60 days.
According to vets I've spoken to in West Central Wisconsin they are finding a sudden rash of tick infections. Lymes in those dogs not vaccinated and all the tick diseases which have no vaccine.
Hunting dogs should be examined at season's end by a knowledgeable vet.
Hunters by their doctors.

Malaysia court gets joke, drops case against blogger
In September 2010 we posted an alert about criminal charges being brought against Malaysian blogger Irwan Abdul Rahman. He was accused of "intent to hurt" because of a March 2010 satirical entry on his blog, nose4news, that made fun of Malaysia's state-run power company Tenaga (TNB). The charges were brought by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), which was formed in 1998 as the country's online media industry began to emerge.

Supreme Thai Capsule Blend 5 Capsules(just under 5 grams)
Our Supreme Thai Capsule Blend are formulated with the perfect blend of Premium Thai and Maeng-Da top shelf Kratoms. Our fresh leaves are ground fresh to a pharmaceutical grade powder, then capsuled in 900mg (000) size gel caps. You're sure to enjoy this brand new Supreme Thai Capsule blend of the best Kratom powders around from The Monster!
KratomLet us explain how our Kratom differs from any other Kratom. Firstly, if you buy our Kratom powder you will receive the freshest, most rich, best Kratom on the market. Our supplier grinds to a powder on a twice weekly basis, our inventory is kept low so we always have Fresh Product on hand! You know the difference between fresh ground coffee and instant? Well it's exactly the same with Kratom! If you have ever ground your own powder from crushed Kratom leaf at home using a coffee grinder, you will know that the color and aroma is in a completely different class. Compare this with powder that has been sitting on the shelf for months and you'll never turn back. We are proud to be one of the very few vendors in the USA to offer kratom for sale with a fresh grinding service.
A few benefits of Kratom Capsules are:
* Kratom on the go when needed
* It's a flavorless method of using Kratom
* The ability of taking as little or as much as you'd like very easily

When you sniff it, keep your nose two or three inches away from the glass. People stick their nose right into the glass and miss to many of the wonderful scents of the wine. When the wine smells bad, it has actually turned and need to be discarded down the sink without drinking.

It's hard being a new mom (or even an experienced mom to a new baby) and sometimes we do things we know we shouldn't, despite what all the experts say. But this is a safe place to share your secrets—we won't tell.
This Week's Secret:
"When my daughter was 10 months old, my husband drove our car while I sat in the back holding her, and seatbelted in, because we didn't have a car seat—my mother had borrowed it without letting us know. We drove for about 10 miles. Terrible I know! —anonymous
Question: What do you think about putting a baby in a car without a car seat under these circumstances?
A baby should never be in a car without a car seat. Period. End of story.
If it were a true emergency—you had to rush the baby to the hospital—and you didn't have a car seat, it would be okay. But this doesn't seem like an emergency.
It's not the best choice, but I can understand it. This mom found herself without a car seat and they needed to go out. The mom held the baby and used her seatbelt.

Serves 10 to 12, with a good probability of leftovers
Butter, garlic, and fresh herbs flavor this juicy roasted turkey. A Madeira jus, made from homemade turkey broth and the pan drippings, is quicker to make than traditional gravy and just as delicious.
Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a 10-inch straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the neck and giblets (if using) with a pinch of salt, stirring often, until browned, 9 to 10 minutes
Transfer the neck and giblets to a bowl. Heat the remaining 1 Tbs. oil and add the garlic, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaf, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until browned, 8 to 9 minutes.
Return the neck and giblets to the skillet. Add the parsley, sage, and rosemary. Add 1-1/2 cups of water, 2 cups of the broth, and the Madeira. Bring to a boil; then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until intensely flavorful, about 2-1/2 hours. If the liquid level drops enough to expose the solids, add more broth. Strain the broth through a fine sieve into a large bowl—you'll have 2 to 2-1/2 cups.
Position a rack in the bottom of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Put a V-rack in a large roasting pan.
Rinse and dry the turkey. Rub the inside of the body and neck cavities with the cut side of the lemon half, and sprinkle 1 tsp. salt inside the cavities.
Thinly slice three garlic cloves. Carefully slide your hands under the skin of the turkey to loosen it from the breast. Push the garlic slices between the skin and the breast, being careful not to tear the skin.
Mix the butter with the thyme, 2 tsp. salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Spread half of the butter inside the body cavity of the turkey. Put the lemon half, 3 sage sprigs, 3 rosemary sprigs, the celery leaves (if using), and about three-quarters of the remaining garlic cloves in the cavity. Put the remaining herb sprigs and garlic cloves in the neck cavity.
Tie the legs together for a neater appearance, if you like. Tuck the wing tips behind the neck, securing any loose skin over the neck cavity beneath the wing tips. Set the turkey in the V-rack, breast side down. Rub half of the remaining thyme butter over the back of the turkey and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 1 hour.
Remove the pan from the oven and baste the turkey with the pan drippings. With silicone oven mitts or two wads of paper towels, flip the turkey onto its back. Spread the remaining thyme butter over the breast and legs, sprinkle with salt, and roast for 1 hour more.
Baste and continue to roast for 30 minutes more. Baste again and then check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of both thighs. The turkey is done when the thermometer registers 170°F to 175°F and the juices run clear when the thermometer is removed. If necessary, continue roasting and checking the temperature every 10 minutes. If at any time the turkey gets too dark on top, tent it loosely with foil.
Remove the pan from the oven. With silicone oven mitts or wads of paper towels, tilt the turkey so the juices in the cavity run into the roasting pan. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter or cutting board and tent it loosely with foil. Reserve the drippings in the roasting pan. Let the turkey rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before carving.
Strain the drippings from the roasting pan through a fine sieve into the Madeira broth. Transfer to a fat separator, wait until the fat has risen to the top, and then slowly separate the broth from the fat into a clean 2-quart saucepan. Discard the fat.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. If the jus is too concentrated and salty, add a little water.
Carve the turkey and serve with the jus.
The broth for the Madeira jus—before the turkey drippings are added—may be prepared two days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. After roasting, the turkey can rest at room temperature for up to one hour. Reheat the broth before making the jus.

The combination companies assist lenders to either reduce the rate of interest or the primary. Though there are no guarantees that they will be successful with every bank, several combination businesses have seen team that discover how to get concessions from your creditors. It's crucial that you execute detailed exam when speaking with cash advance consolidation companies this way you realize you are getting the best support to your money. With some time allocated to teaching oneself, you need to have most of the info you have to make a financial choice that is well-informed.
Now that you understand just how to avail of its own benefits and a payday loan consolidation companies service, you know where-to proceed if the need arises. With few possibilities, she decided to go back to the cash advance firm to give the loan another 14 days at a high price of $250. Some might even ask you and their workplace to privately visit with. Borrowers scarcely are able to cover interest rates that are high about the loans. It was once correct that credit card debt was the scariest kind of debt to own due to the high-interest costs rendering it hard get out of debt and to catch up on payments.
Definitely one of the fastest methods to build up frustrating debt, a cash advance consolidation mortgage could be the simplest way to rise out-of cash advance debt. Be especially careful about lenders who provide no creditcheck consolidation payday loans at http://consolidationnow.com/student-loan-consolidation/. Many of lenders will demand you to furnish your work and bank info with some doc proof with respect, to obtain such cash advance, no evidence is required. This latter solution could make both parties in charge of a standard loan. Thus before a quick payday loan is gone and check out by you do some study. Then do that if you're able to manage to wait 24-48 for a payday loan. Should you cannot, then atleast be equipped for a greater interest rate of acquiring quick cash for that ease.
Various businesses will obtain your payments for that preliminary couple of months and moves towards their costs first the lenders start to view the amount of money. Are you feeling unsure when you are struggling to meet your high-status on account of some dough crises up? Those of us who live from payday to payday usually find ourselves lacking cash in the middle of waiting for another payday to arrive. Having a system to contribute to a retirement savings plan will give you satisfaction and also the assurance to you you will manage to take it easy after your retirement.
And finally, check with credit union or your lender to see when you can get yourself a little personal loan as opposed to a payday loan consolidation help . I actually don't have the shame just as much realizing that they have not removed absolutely without. The 17% doesn't seem like a big price to pay for to obtain you out of a, but what a number of these persons don't realize is that totals up to a staggering 400% in a year! Separate the mortgage cycle even if you need to create various other sacrifices to get a brief while. This involves equity, superior credit or possibly a credit-worthy cosigner.
Taxes are planning and a higher priority statement for feasible expenses that are spiked, is a sound decision. It certainly does rely on the lending company and you're planning to have to know the things they are ready to give you. Should you not need a higher enough income they'll however offer you a loan it'll not be for the maximum amount of cash when you are hoping for. Delivering a thermos to work might appear like anything more common to building personnel than those in business, however it is that hardworking bluecollar ethic that saves pounds ultimately.
Over time, people might understand that you're somebody who has lots of debts. Situations differ and loans can be found in numerous deals. Online payday loans are uninterested in past credit rating, but credit unions and banks are. The customer may even see a lower monthly payment. Before starting on a consolidation payday loans buying spree, know and look industry to have the very best offer.
Follow these measures, handle your money and you'll eliminate oneself of the payday loan debt as easily as feasible and you'll also keep your credit from getting damaged also. A cash advance consolidation will definitely indifference combine your regular monthly obligations to at least one with a few type of properly lowered thoroughly interest cost. All you sign up for will stay the identical.

I'm a submitter to god, a new user, who has his own views based on logic and understanding, I'd like to share them with my fellow believers wherever possible, that's a beautiful thing indeed to have a community like that, all that I wish is that people do come under the shelter of the truth and reject all falsehood and ego under all circumstances, even if they touch their own centiments. For like a medicine, its sour, its full of cure, let's bring out proper reasonings and realisations and walk upright, such high morals seems low in a materialistic age, but even if its very sour, it's still cure for me, and for everyone who wants to reach.
Regard to all brothers and sisters.

One of the amazing aspects of the Arava, Israel's long, eastern valley between the Dead Sea and Eilat, is that although it is mainly desert, 90% of its residents are successful farmers! Arava farmers have taken what nature has dealt them – saline soil and water and a burning sun – and worked with it, producing, among other crops, peppers, dates, figs, tomatoes, melons, flowers, grapes, and fish. Nutrients and precise amounts of water are delivered using computer technology that can even recycle irrigation water. Tomatoes, for example, are grown mainly for export, with some farmers trying out over 100 varieties a year until they hit the right color, shape, taste and shelf-life buyers seek. Some varieties contain high levels of lycopene, a pigment of the carotene family that is believed to have healthful, antioxidant properties.
Figs are normally a summer fruit, which from Bible days (Deut 8: 8) until recently was a highland crop. But Arava farmers have developed a hothouse, dwarf fig, which is harvested from December to April. Some of the world's sweetest dates (another biblical species) thrive in the Arava. Experts know there is no paradox between the Arava's saline water and the sweet outcome, because the developing fruit has to "work harder" against the salts.
Some Arava farmers specialize in organic farming and soilless cultivation. They also cooperate with farmers across the nearby Jordanian border. Sharing knowledge is important here; the local government maintains a training center that welcomes students from around the world, especially Asia ,and agricultural research stations work to constantly upgrade the Arava's produce.
Many Arava communities also offer bed-and-breakfast accommodations and tours of the region's agricultural, heritage and nature attractions.
