Corelli Alliance Vivace Violin Set - Medium Gauge
REVIEWED BY: Student, Anonymous
reviewed on: 06/04/2016
Very nice, very pleased.
When I upgraded my violin about a year ago it came with Dominants on it. I was pretty excited because my teacher had them. I loved the G and D strings! They have a very full, mellow tone. However, I was disappointed with the A and E strings. I thought the A was somewhat nasally and the E was a bit weak with a slight shrillness. I began searching for a different brand. I came across the Corellis and read lots of reviews. They appeared to be just what I was looking for. I ordered a set. I am very pleased with them! The G and D are very good, unfortunately not as nice as Dominants. The A and E are quite satisfactory. The A matches the D well, and the E is vibrant without any tininess or harshness.
Kaplan Amo Violin String Set 4/4 Size Medium
REVIEWED BY: Teacher, ALEXANDER KEHLER
reviewed on: 06/02/2016
D'Addario Kaplan Amo - violin
I love these strings! I've used Pirastro for years but I'm always testing other strings. For years Tonica were my mainstay and I would splurge for Obligato for recordings. I tried the Evah pirrazi but they were too bright for my violin. Larsen Tzigane were my latest experiment and though I loved the tone, they didn't seem to last very long. Kaplan Amo seem to have all the warmth of the Tzigane, yet wonderful presence like the Evahs and they stay true longer than most other strings that I've tried! I highly recommend them.
Pirastro Obligato Violin Set - Ball E - Aluminum D - 4/4 size - Medium
REVIEWED BY: Teacher, ASHLEY MOORE
reviewed on: 03/24/2016
Added warmth instantly!
I have a new $2k Chinese violin. It had Dominants and I wasn't too happy with them. I read that Obligatos had a wonderful warming effect on newer violins. Wow! As soon as I put them on I loved the sound! It has been 3 weeks and they sound better every day! They are easy to play on. The tension is low and the response is quick! Great job Pirastro!
Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Violin G String
reviewed on: 03/13/2016
Good loud and really rings out
I purchased a set of these.I have deep sounding instrument that had infeld reds on which I liked.These new Evah strings really brighter up the instrument and they ring out nicely. I fine them quite loud but I use an ear plug in my left ear anyway with these strings might need one in my right ear.I get great harmonics like the A and D strings but still not sure about G string it's not as deep a sound as I was accustomed too. I will keep the G for now but may change it.I also have a hill E string that is working out nicely it gives my lamberti master violin a nice tone.I fine it smooth under my fingers and get nice vibrato the string rings out,very pleased with the hill E string.
Thomastick Infeld Spirit! String Set - 4/4 size

Very good bright but not too bright
Have purchased two sets very good price and great strings like them more than dominant. They are bright, ring out, and get good harmonics.
Superior Violin String Set 4/4 Size Medium
reviewed on: 02/21/2016
For me, there are many superior sets of strings at this price point. I have been playing them heavily for a week. They were slow to break in sonically, retaining a steely tone for a couple days. Even after they warmed up, there were some issues. Namely, they require lots of vibrato and finesse to get a good sound from, and they created an odd wolf tone issue on D string. The tone is intense and 'classical' (read: bright) when coaxed properly. Two positives: they are quick to speak and sound good at low volume. I won't order another set. Your results may vary.

Awesome! Great tone way up the fingerboard! Lots of power and beautiful, rich tone. Great for solos and orchestra. It does what you tell it to do... Thanks Shar!
Overture Ultra Violin String Set - 4/4 size - Medium Gauge
REVIEWED BY: Student, Anonymous
reviewed on: 09/29/2015
Good Strings at a Reasonable Price
The only problem is that the G string does seem to be weak. Two of them have broken in a seven month period. The strings do sound very nice on my violin and have a reasonable price. My A string has a fray near the nut of the violin but has been on the instrument about two years. The other strings have been on it for two years and do not appear to have any problems.
Evah Pirazzi Gold (Pirastro) Violin String Set Gold G Ball E
REVIEWED BY: Student, Adrianna Loomis
reviewed on: 08/23/2015
Powerful G string
I can't speak for the whole set, because i used other brands for the A, D, and E, but the silver G string had a crisp bite to it and was really colorful. I've had it on for several months now, and while it's not as impressive as it was when I first put it on, it still sounds pretty good. My instrument has a good lower register though anyways.

Pirastro Tonica Silvery Steel Violin E String Ball End - Medium Gauge - 3/4 Size
Q. Will this work for a 3/4 violin?
A. Thanks for the question Gretchen! We carry both 4/4 and 3/4. You'll want to select the 3/4 size string (Item# 464E B 34 M) for your 3/4 size violin. Hope this helps!

Kaplan Amo Violin String Set 4/4 Size Medium
Q. I just ordered these strings but realized that it doesn't say whether they are ball or loop end. I need ball end. Can you confirm which they are? Thanks, Holly
A. Hi Holly! The E string in the Kaplan Amo violin string set is called a removable ball end. This means that you are able to remove the ball and then use the E string as a loop end. In your case, it means that you are able to use it as a ball end without removing anything. Hope this helps!

I was reading a report on Noble House of New York,and I had to shake my head, for I was not alone,I also wrote poetry which was to be published by Noble House of New York, they sent me via e-mails,my poem laid out to be proof read, I was also informed regarding a contest in Las Vegas, in which we were all to attend and read our poems,attend a dinner,cash prizes, meet famous poets, entertainers. They went as far as to tell me that I was awarded an honor of being an ambassador of poetry for that year. I unlike the other person, did not pay them a dime that they wanted,for the purchase of the book and the awards that they claimed I won.
At the time I was dealing with an Illness and the loss of my mother... The poem I wrote (Stepping Stone) was in honor of my mother, and dedicated to her memory and I thought how wonderfull, something in print that would forever be there for my family to enjoy. That the world would know just how much she was loved and missed. I went to Barnes and Noble to look for the book titled Winter Solace to purchase and to my surprise ,No such book. I should have known better, but in my case I did not lose any money.and I know these people need to be stopped, Im sure there are plenty of other people recieving these e-mails from poetry.com/Noble Of New York and paying out what could end up being hundreds of dollars.

How that worked...
AUTHOR: Edgeman - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 09, 2010POSTED: Wednesday, June 09, 2010
Unfortunately, virtually everybody received this offer even if the submitted poem was poor (I am not saying that the OP's poem was poor; I obviously haven't read it.) The book does exist and people could even order something like a trophy but it must be stressed that everybody who submitted their work to the site could be "published" and order a trophy.
It wasn't really a scam because the company did send the product they offered. It's just that the book and award were virtually worthless. There was a photography variation that worked the same way. Any photographer who claimed to have received an award from the International Library of Photography would have been laughed out of the room.
Last year the poetry.com domain was snatched up by Lulu.com. That's a self publishing company and while they are legitimate, self publishing still doesn't have the prestige of actually being picked up by one of the big publishing houses.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

If a worker can't live on the pay the boss proffers then GET OUT AND GET A JOB THAT PAYS A LIVING WAGE! OR TRAIN FOR ONE THAT DOES!
Even so, NO ONE HAS to STEAL! Nobody is putting a weapon to someone's head and FORCING him to do this-- at least not here, IF things are as you ALLEGE.
IF he is, in fact, stealing, as you ALLEGE WITHOUT ANY FACTS, it is probably because he is returning the contempt that the company and the client are feeling for him, beacuse he is bored and alienated and because it is a challenge...Plus he might have a fence who will take the goods for cash or other valuable barter that he needs. It's up in the air.
That's why most workers steal.
IF THIS IS TRUE,You really need to turn this little **** over to the crimestoppers along with your PROOF! At least you will get the cash reward for it IF they can catch him doing what you allege.
You DO have PROOF, don't you?
If NOT, YOU can get sued for civil damages by the security contractor and their agent, the person you are accusing here.
The clients will find out and then they will ask questions and Allied-Barton will be forced to take action and then it will be a process of "Who knew what and when did they know it?" a few heads will roll --maybe-- depending on whether or not they have people they want to get rid of or whether or not a standing guard post is about ready to cancel. Then those people somehow will be blamed to cheat them out of their vacation pay and/or unemployment --more likely than not based on what I have seen and experienced in the past.
Stealing from clients is STUPID but when the company treats their people like subhuman,slave labor and pays such a miserable low salary and then they put their hungry and badly uniformed personnel in opulent surroundings --- oh well.
As for YOU, if you don't want to end up being forced to steal to make ends meet, you need to get into another line of work... ASAP.
Me, I would rather quit than work for idiots who were so d**n CHEAP they couldn't pay me a living wage and I was reduced to stealing and being the kind of beaten-down slave they wanted me to be.
IF this is as you ALLEGE, you better quit this bunch of losers and go and learn a real trade or get another job. It can only get worse in any case.
By the way, smoking cigarettes unless they contain reefer or they are blunts is LEGAL.
Good luck.

Re: Ice Rink Credit Card Charges from 2015-16 season –
It appears that the credit card company (American bank card, touch suite) processing credit cards primarily VISA cards for the Folsom ice rink throughout the season had software problems causing about 1/3 of all transactions to not be charged from November 6 2015 through January 18 2016 at the Folsom ice rink. We believe that these are not duplicate charges rather delayed charges. This is an unfortunate situation for our valued customers and the operations company, Studio 33 of the Folsom ice rink. However these charges were in no way initiated by the Folsom Chamber of Commerce, Folsom Historic District Association or the operating company. Folsom ice rink first learned of this delayed (not duplicate) billing on March 10,2016
If customers getting these charges and are able to look back at their credit card statements and verify that they are truly duplicate charges please scan and forward these and the current charged statement to the operations company's email firstname.lastname@example.com and we will forward all concerns to the credit card processing company.
We have several calls and emails into American bank card aka touch suite to try to clear this matter as soon as possible.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

Quick GuideHeart Disease: Symptoms, Signs, and Causes
What is the treatment for cardiovascular disease?
The goal of treating cardiovascular disease is to maximize the patient's quantity and quality of life. Prevention is the key to avoid cardiovascular disease and optimize treatment. Once plaque formation has begun, it is possible to limit its progression by maintaining a healthy lifestyle with routine exercise, diet, and by aiming for lifetime control of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
An aspirin may be used for its antiplatelet activity, making platelets (one type of blood cells that help blood clot) less sticky and decreasing the risk of heart attack.
Medications may be prescribed in patients with heart disease to maximize blood flow to the heart and increase efficiency of the pumping function of the heart.
Beta blocker medications help block the action of adrenaline on the heart, slowing the heart rate. These medications also help the heart beat more efficiently and decrease the oxygen requirements of the heart muscle during work.
Calcium channel blockers also help the heart muscle contract and pump more efficiently.
Nitrates help dilate arteries and increase blood flow to the heart muscle. They may be short-acting (Nitrostat) to treat acute angina symptoms or long-acting preparations (Imdur) may be prescribed for prevention.
Should there be significant stenosis or narrowing of the coronary arteries, angioplasty and/or stenting (described above) may be considered to open the blocked areas. These procedures are performed in conjunction with cardiac catheterization. Depending upon the patient's anatomy and the extent of the blockage present, coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) may be required.

Skill Level Intermediate
As we continue to convert Drupal 6 node templates, we will take a look at what is changed since Drupal 7, including template suggestions, page variables, the content array, and how to hide and render individual fields and variables so that we can control the exact HTML output needed for theming. If we compare our current version to our Drupal 6 version, we can see that there are a couple of different things that we need to change. First of all, the no display in the middle actually has a heading that does not have a background image.
Also if we scroll down and we take a look at exactly how the Read more, Add new comment is being displayed, the Drupal 6 version has a Shares this link and this is something new in Drupal 7. The way that the comments are rendered, we no longer actually get to have a combination of comments with the Add new comment, instead the way that it's rendered is actually with the Add new comment and if I scroll down a little bit, you'll actually see the comment count alongside the Add new comment.
Those are all things that we are going to need to address. Go ahead and browse over to your Editor, open up the hanselpetal6>sites>all>themes>hanselandpetal folder and let's take a look at the node.tpl.php. What we want to do is actually look at exactly what we need to change in here. For instance, items like picture have been changed to user picture and the page title actually has a title prefix and a title suffix to allow modules to display content around it.
Submitted has actually been replaced with display_submitted and if we actually scroll down to content, remember there's now a content array that allows you to be able to display different node items that are part of that array and those variables can be hidden and shown later within a template. The other thing not so noticeable is that clear-block has actually been replaced with clear-fix. So let's take a look at the best practices for migrating this over to our Drupal 7 instance.
Scroll down to your hanselpetal7>sites>all>themes> hanselandpetal>templates folder. What we wan to do is actually take a copy of the Drupal 6 version and paste it into our templates folder, lets do that now. Now that we have that in there, let's go and open up that version, let's compare that to the default modules>node. tpl template that Drupal 7 utilizes.
The first thing I want to do is replace the documentation. So I am going to highlight it, including the opening div copy it, go to my template for the Drupal 6 version and replace the code in the window. The next thing I want to do is replace picture with user picture. So once again copy and paste.
If we'll look at how the title is being displayed, we notice that the title prefix and title suffix is not part of this. So let's go back over to our node.tpl from our Drupal 7 version and simply copy the section of code and replace our version. Now let's take a look at the meta div. Inside here I have $submitted and $terms. If we take a look at what the equivalent is in Drupal 7, we can see that if display_submitted is the new conditional statement.
So let's copy that and replace the one in our templates folder. Let's also take a look at terms. If you notice we don't actually see terms anymore. The reason behind that is because terms have actually been moved into the content array and now display as links. So let's go ahead and bypass that for a second and then take a look at exactly how the content is being displayed. I am physically going to copy this div and then go back to our instance, I am going to remove terms, because remember terms are no longer part of Drupal 7 and then right above div class="content" I am going to paste in the new way that content is used inside of Drupal 7.
We can see that the class="content" is the same for our Drupal 7 and Drupal 6 instances, so I am going to simply remove or delete this particular block of code. The next thing we have is the share this link. This still uses the node_url so there's nothing to currently change here. However when we get down to print links, we no longer print the link's variable since its part of the content variable array.
And if I flip back over to my Drupal's 7 version, I can copy and then replace this print statement. If I've done everything correctly I should be able to the save this node.tpl, browse back over to my Drupal instance, click on the Performance tab and clear all the cache and then close the Performance interface. I now see the share this link and the Read more and Add new comment are also being displayed properly with the node.
If I continue to scroll down the page I can see that the layout is starting to take shape exactly the way I wanted. However when I get to a blog post that's currently being displayed, I'm seeing some information that I want to be able to hide. Let's compare the blog post in our Drupal 7 version to the Drupal 6. From here all I simply see is the share this link along with the Add new comment or comment count and the admin's blog for who it is that submitted this particular blog post.
I compare that to my Drupal 7 version, I'm seeing a little bit more information than what I really need. Let's actually browse back over to our Editor, close the node.tpl and then actually scroll up and take a look at the node-blog.tpl.php template from our Drupal 6 instance. I'm going to copy this and I am going to paste it into my templates folder. When I do, I also need to rename it, because remember based off Temple suggestions is no longer node-blog, but node--blog.
Go ahead and rename it now and for sake of time I'm actually getting going to open up this note--blog.tpl.php that I've copied in and then go up to my Exercise Files, open up the 09_03 folder and open up this version. I'm then going to copy and replace and then Save.
Now one thing that I want you to take a look at is all the code right smack in front of you that has to deal with the content array. In order for me to get the Drupal 7 version to display properly, I had to traverse the content array looking at the links, then the blog and then the links blog_username_blog, href simply just to get the hyperlink for the blog submitter, followed by the rendering of the content links, blog links, blog_username_blogs, title in order for it to be able to say admin blog.
The short story here is for you to specifically take a look at what the content array holds. You can do this by utilizing a tool such as theme developer and traverse through the content array to see all the information that is now at your disposal to be able to print out. This functionality actually gives us as a Drupal themer a lot more control of the information and the fine-tuning that you may need in order to display content that you previously would have had to do with some sort of advanced theming functions or pre-process or process functions in order to build out the information into a variable before you could actually print it.
If I actually save this and then browse back over to my Drupal instance, click on Performance and in Clear all cache and then close the Performance window and then scroll down, I can start to see that and now for my blog post if I have a comment it displays and if I do not, it shows Add new comment and prior to where we actually saw Add new comment and one comment side by side, those are now gone because I was able to pull that information out properly.
If you take a look at the Exercise Files, there are a couple more nodes that need to be replaced. I am going to actually going to let you do that and then in the next video we will take a look at exactly how those look side-by-side. So since we have now converted four different type of node templates modified the page variables and learned how to hide and render individual content variables to display the HTML exactly how we need it for our theming needs. We will next tackle block templates and the conversion process for Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.

Skip to comments.Rasmussen Daily: THU 11/01: R:49 O:47 Obama -11: 5 DAYS TO GO!
Posted on 11/01/2012 7:09:08 AM PDT by SoftwareEngineer

They always seem within reach then blamo on election day they go blue."
Historically, you are so right. PA as someone put it a long time ago, is the ultimate tease.
It could happen that way. But IF somehow it goes red or even almost, then look out! Tsunami Mitt!!!
I believe it will be a big win and I pray to God it's as you state.
I would like to see the R share of Romney up over 92%.
Now.. THAT makes me smile! :-)
One could get on liberal boards for Obama, and pose as an Uber Liberal, with all the talking points from the extreme LEFT to attack him, and encourage people to vote their conscience and not return that scumbag to office but stand up and vote Green Party or Socialist Party, or whatever leftist party is dominate in the state one is targeting by internet activity. That could depress Obama's turnout, without have to go voice to voice with voters if one is a bit gunshy about that. But it takes a certain skill. One really has to spout Marxist dialectic when one does this. It goes over good in places like Greenwich Village and Berkeley, Austin and Cornell, Colombia and Chicago, Seattle and Santa Fe, those liberal outposts.
As Much as I'd like to see that, that's not happening. If it does, I'll gladly admit my mistake. But there is no way it goes 60-40.
In 2008 Obama won the indy vote 52-44. If Romney is "only" ahead by four, that is a 12 point turnaround from 2008.
Ah thank you, so he was off by 30 seats. And again I think the Brown election was kinda obvious but there were polls who had him losing, including Ras.
Nov-6 cannot come fast enough.
Not likely.
He'll blame it on a turnout that nobody expected and blame voter honesty in polling as the culprit.
Kind of like the MU Poll for WI yesterday...+8 Obama but even the pollster used the caveat that turnout could completely change it...not mentioning the BS skew he used of course.
I can tell you that my Asian-born wife is put off by Romney's China stance and has indicated she will either not vote for Obama or neither. Fortunately I believe most Asians live in solid-blue states where it may not matter or do not vote at all based on cultural norms since they typically come from totalitarian states.

Many here will disagree but winning by a couple of points and just enough EV is fine with me. NO I do not want a repeat of 2000 but to turn out a sitting President is a mandate in itself. Landslide in this current demographic is impossible. Don't forget Cali used to be a state that could go either way. I don't see it going RED ever again in my life time.
Squeaker is fine as long as zerO is gone.
From your lips to God's ear.
Obamas final sked: THU WI, NV, CO; FRI OH; SAT OH, WI, IA, VA; SUN NH, FL, OH, CO; MON WI, OH, IA ]
Obama seems awfully worried about Ohio for someone who has it in the bag.
Anyway, both Romney and Obama are spending time in the deciding swing states: OH, WI, CO, NH. Romney must be confident FL is red. He is also only visiting OH once. Hmmmm. Sure doesn't jive with the media's narrative on OH.
Obama campaigning appears more desperate than winning. He is gallivanting all over the place!
Sorry NJ, Obama just used you as a campaign stop and moved on. Your Governor was dumb enough to play along.
Or maybe he's got the inside track on the upcoming jobs number that shows a big improvement?
The one reliable Poll (Rasmussen) has been crippled by Sandy. What they have been reporting is pretty much the same stuff for the last 3 days.
I think it'll be a minimum 8 point Romney win, with an EV landslide.
49% to 47% means 4% unaccounted for. Don't Ras's final polls always add up to at least 99% of the vote? Seems like someone would have to gain a few points by Tuesday morning. Has he ever put a final poll with this many voters unaccounted for?
The Carville rule says that last number which Bork Obunga gets is all he's ever going to get, i.e. the 47% which Romney himself said no Republican had any shot at. That basically says that we've got something like 47% of the electorate which isn't really doing the gene pool any good.
Yeah, I find that number to be disturbing.
What's interesting about your chart is that as Obama's approval looks better, so does his national polling. The question is why do voters feel better about him in the last 2 weeks? Some of it is Sandy but not all.
The Strong Approve number ALWAYS goes up in the run-up to the election.
Keep in mind that is just the Democrats lining up behind the President
They are just cannibalizing the "Somewhat Approve" number.
Look at the "Overall approval". Still below 50. Actually very stable in the 47-49% range
He has Wisconsin, for example, tied at 49. Do I assume that he is applying his 2%, which I presume to be a national number, equally in each state? Is there any reason to believe that that is a valid procedure? I note that he has Republicans +3 on congressional preference and it seems anomalous to me that the overall preference would be +2 Democrat. Finally, what does this measure, merely a preference expressed in general terms by the electorate or is Rasmussen predicting turnout?
Am I wasting time concerning myself about these preference numbers when, as you point out, the approval numbers are far more predictive?
Hope you are right. Too much at stake.
Here is a quote from Rasmussen about the President's job approval number:
"Since the beginning of 2012, that finding has remained in the narrow range of 47% to 49%"
"Maybe the expert poll analysts around here can tell us why this is happening????"
I have been polling indies in CO. About 2% of them even answer the phone. About 1% will complete the survey. So the voters are self-filtering in a way the pollster cannot control. The indies hate the phone calls as they have been deluged here.
Has anyone seen the swing state poll?
Hi! So, here is the disconnect.
When Rasmussen polls and asks people, they say that they are R+2 or R+3. That is what has FReepers so excited
However, that being said, that is ONLY indicative of the general populace. That MAY NOT reflect the actual turnout.
What Rasmussen seems to be saying is that the President's team is more organized and will get more people out to vote. His "vaunted ground effort"
So, he is saying that despite the R's being more numerous this time around, more D's will show up and vote
Now, there are many like LS, NHWinGut, Ravi etc who will disagree with that assertion, as they feel that the R's are very motivated
The phrase to watch is "Broken glass Republicans". Republicans so committed to voting that they will crawl over broken glass to get to the voting booth
5 day to go before Fundamental Restoration returns to America!
The Trunaround of 2012
Here's my three Romney win scenarios.
Worst Case Romney Win:
Likely Case Romney Win:
Best Case Romney Win:
Washington, not Oregon?
Where is Ras getting his information that zerO's ground game is better this time around and his supporters are more likely to vote on election day vs Romney supporters?
Yep...my bad. Meant Oregon, but who knows, maybe we will get both!
I've been saying for a month that North Carolina will tell us all the tale on election night.
Obama won it in 2008.
The polls close at 7:30PM. If the Nets call it before 830PM, and the margin is greater than +5, a nationwide landslide is in progress.
He is just making an assumption for public entertainment.
If Ras really thinks that (which Gallup disagrees with) it flys in the face of every poll that shows a strong enthusiasm edge for the GOP.
We need to paste a call from home thread in breaking news or something to get as many Freepers to see it and take action.
Sneak Peek from Rasmussen: Gov Romney up by 1 in IA!!!
R+4 Sample of 750 LV
President up with early voters but the Governor HUGE with those still to vote
sweet...make a thread!!!
Libertarians, disaffected Paulistineans...
The DailyKos crowd is really trying to stir up the Paul Crazies.
There is no way Dems have higher voter enthusiasm this year.
Can't do. It is still internal. Not public yet!
Republican ground game in Ohio in 2004 was massive and effective and we are told that the Republicans have far exceeded the metrics in 2012.
If Rasmussen is just pulling this reversal out of his hat, it does not mean a thing. I note that he also said last night on Fox that the Democrats were depending on the youth vote and that was unreliable and the Republicans are favored by the more elderly who are very much motivated for Romney. He gives the edge to Romney, albeit grudgingly.
What I am driving at is that there is nothing on the ground anywhere that says that the Republicans in Ohio and Wisconsin should not prevail in a race tied in the polls. Even if we concede that the Democrats have crafted a good ground game in Ohio in 2008, one might suspect that a good portion of that game was simply the general public hysteria for Obama which has markedly abated.
Where is the impetus for Obama? What will drive people to the polls to support Obama? Why should he be able to break through his 47% ceiling? I simply do not see any reason to believe that the Democrats will perform +2 over the Republicans and this leaves quite apart the distribution of undecideds and independents for Romney.
It has always been the rule of thumb that the tie goes the Republicans, unless the rats can steal it.
Black Inner-City talk radio is absolutely SCREAMING for blacks to go vote for "Brother Obama", as one put it yesterday, complete with all the race-baiting dog-whistles we have come to expect from these people.
In addition, Pacifica is in a COMPLETE frenzy to get out the vote for Obama, too.
The last days schedules tell me:
Romney thinks he has N.C., In., Fl., Ohio, and Virginia for 266 electoral votes (he keeps all the McCain states) and Romney is trying to pick up the last 4 votes he needs in N.H. (4), Co. (9), or Ia. (6).
Obama is trying for a push to win Ohio and is trying to hold on to Wi., Nv (6), Ia., N.H. to stave off defeat.
Nevada is interesting that Obama feels he needs to shore up and Romney is skipping it.
They need to sweep the nursing homes, whup the black congregations and lay out walking around money.
Pacifica might help in Madison Wisconsin.

Joe Danger Touch, a side-scrolling action racer from Hello Games, is now available from the app store. Featuring gesture-based controls, multiple objectives, and a polished presentation, Joe Danger Touch is a terrific example of mobile gaming done right.
Joe Danger Touch Pros:
- Beautiful cartoon presentation and challenging course level design
- Soundtrack is upbeat and whimsical
- Gesture controls are responsive and easy to use
- Lengthy campaign, lots of elements, and fast-paced action
- GameCenter integration for global leaderboards, achievements, and friendly challenges
Joe Danger Touch Cons:
- Some taps on environmental objects register as jump commands
- Hard to tell which coins were missed
Joe Danger Touch presents you with 50+ levels where Joe auto-rides his motorbike through increasingly complex arrays of ramps, tubes, loop-the-loops, mud slicks, hay bales, spikes, high-powered fans, and more. Each level tasks you with completing three objectives, of which one is simply to finish the level. Other tasks include collecting all coins in the level, timing your jumps to earn perfect ratings, collecting all letters in the word "DANGER," etc. Knocking out all three on the same run will earn you a Pro designation for the level. Tons of coins are spread throughout each course. They are used to purchase new characters, which are required to access some of the levels. These characters often come into play during bonus levels or in head-to-head races to the finish. New elements are introduced slowly, tossing new wrenchs into the works until your focus is in so many different directions you don't know which way is up. It's an exhilarating experience that promises to keep gamers of all ages engaged for hours on end.
Graphically, Joe Danger looks terrific, utilizing a cartoony style that packs plenty of happenings on-screen at any given time to give you a sense of the manic craziness that abounds. The animations are super-smooth and the environmental interactions are fun. Bursting through hay bales will send yellow cubes tumbling away, double-jumping over shark tanks will keep your feet attached to your body, and rows of industrial fans will allow you to hover through lengthy sections of the course. You'll need quick fingers to tap bubbles, background letters, golden stars, blue Hello Games orbs, and obstacles that jut out of the ground before you pass by or slam into them. There are no on-screen buttons to muck up the interface, and controlling the action is as easy as tapping key points on the screen or swiping your finger in specific directions. A screen tap is used to start each attempt or cause Joe to jump, while holding your finger on-screen will cause him to duck/crouch before you leap into the air upon release. If you hold the screen while in mid-air, you'll also dive toward the ground.
Tapping while airborne allows you to double-jump, and tapping environmental objects will cause them to disappear (bubbles, stars, fences, etc.). There were occasional issues where attempting to tap a background object would cause Joe to jump, perhaps because we missed the fast-scrolling target or because of an input misinterpretation, we're just not sure. A leftward swipe while on the ground allows you to pop a wheelie, great for speeding through mud slicks without getting bogged down. Directional swipes when airborne allow you to perform flips and spins that keep your point multiplier high while delighting the crowd. Ground-based vertical swipes are used for lane changes when the option presents itself. If at any point you crash, you will fail the attempt and restart the course from the beginning, though you will bank any coins collected in your failed run. The soundtrack has a great upbeat vibe, and the voiceover telling you when to jump and the various silly sound effects fit nicely within the colorful and whimsical motif.
Replay value is good, as you'll typically require multiple attempts to nail down everything there is to get out of a course, especially once you get past the easier initial groupings. Trophies are awarded for reaching high score plateaus, though you'll need to pull off a bunch of impressive tricks to snag those. GameCenter integration offers global leaderboards, a bunch of achievements to earn, and even challenges to send to friends. Our biggest gripe was that there didn't appear to be any way to tell which coins you may have missed, as the action moves very quickly. It's frustrating to run a level over and over again, coming up short by a coin or two without knowing where you missed it. That very minor annoyance aside, this is a spectacular game. A universal app for $2.99, Joe Danger Touch is a 5-Dimple stud.

Buses, Oxford
24 Reviews
24 Reviews
Whilst the student bars and house/dorm parties are incredibly fun ... I think most people will agree that clubbing in Oxford leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily for everyone London is only a ninety minute bus ride away with more good nightlife than imaginable. The Oxford Tube is a nice big bus that operates at least once an hour all day and night. I've spent countless sunrises in these buses on my way back to Oxford sobering up. The bus ends/starts out from Victoria Coach Station in London and also picks up in Marble Arch, Notting Hill, Sheperds Bush, and Hendon. In Oxford the picks up/drops off in a number off places and ends/starts from Gloucester Green. The price is much cheaper than taking the train.
Oxford Tube is an excellent way of reaching Oxford, and can be economical as well if you put some thought into planning. And – further on the positive side – you will not have parking hassles.
A day return without student discounts is 12 Pounds, with discounts it is 9. If your outward journey starts later than 3 pm you will pay as little as 7 Pounds. In London, the buses depart from Victoria Bus Station, and also stops at Marble Arch, Nottingham Hill Gate, and Shepherd's Bush.
Son varias las compañías de autobuses que realizan servicio desde Londres a Oxford. Desde Victoria Coach Station suelen salir la mayoría de ellos. Hay autobuses cada 15 minutos y el precio suele variar según la compañía que cogas.
The X90 runs throughout the day (in fact 24hour service) give a cheaper alternative to the train for travel to/from London.
It has good pick-up and drop-off points in London (Victoria Coach Station, Victoria train station, Marble Arch, Baker Street, Hillingdon) and in Oxford (Gloucester Green, High Street, St Clements, Headington shops, Thornhill park & ride).
Obviously, the journey time depends on traffic. Rush hour can be a little slow (mornings London-Oxford, evenings vice-versa). Also if going to Oxford in the early evening head for Victoria (as the bus can be full at Gloucester Place (Baker Street tube)).

Another regular 24 hour coach service to/from London. This service offers slightly different stops to the Oxford Espress, as well as slightly bigger buses.
London stops: Hillingdon, Shepherd's Bush, Notting Hill Gate, Marble Arch and Victoria.
Oxford stops incl.: Gloucester Green, High Street, St.Clement's, Headington Shops and Sandhills.
Website: http://www.stagecoach-oxford.co.uk/oxfordtube/Related to:
If you're coming from London, there's a bus that runs every half an hour or so from Vic Station. It's a quick, enjoyable ride with nice views of West London and Oxfordshire on your way into Oxford. Sit on the top of the double-decker, read your copy of the Times or a footy mag that you picked up at Victoria Station, and enjoy the ride.
The Oxford Express runs 24 hour service between Ox & London & the airports...
Oxford to Heathrow Airport (every 30 minutes daytimes)
Oxford to Gatwick Airport (every hour daytimes)
Oxford to central London (every 15 - 20 minutes daytimes)
I'm pretty sure that London to Ox is the same.
The Oxford Bus Company operates three networks within and around the city.
Fares: one-day zone passes as well as week/two week/month zone passes available. London/airport service tickets vary. Check website for prices and timetables.
The Oxford Tube: The Oxford to London service runs 24 hours a day. Coaches run every 10 minutes at busy times and every 15-20 minutes throughout the rest of the day. There is at least an hourly service during the night. London stops include Victoria, Marble Arch, Notting Hill Gate and Shepherd's Bush/Kensington Hilton.
Stagecoach Oxford also operates other key services in the region including the X50 Oxford to Stratford-upon-Avon route.
Contact Stagecoach Oxford. Tel:01865 772250 for 24-hour travel information.
This was the best bus tour I have ever done. I definately recommend that if you're in Oxford go and do it...

The 25-year-old was the last skater to take to the ice on the second day of competition in the Netherlands and it was well worth the wait as he powered to the 5000m title he won three times in a row between 2007 and 2009.
Kramer clocked a winning time of 6:13.87 – 1.39 seconds ahead of Dutch teammate Bob de Jong who was in turn over a second ahead of American Jonathan Kuck in third position.
Kuck recorded 6:16.28 to deny a home one-two-three with Jan Blokhuijsen having to settle for fourth 0.54 behind, while France's Alexis Contin was a well shy of him, finishing fifth in 6:21.44.
However, it didn't dampen the spirits of the Dutch crowd much as Stefan Groothuis set up a day to remember in the 1000m that preceded the 5000m with his first ever World Distances Championship gold medal.
Once again the hosts dominated the top-two with Kjeld Nuis second 0.22 behind Groothuis in a time of 1:08.79 while in a repeat of the 5000m an American was once again clutching bronze – this time Shani Davis.
Meanwhile, Christine Nesbitt was on hand to put a stop to any hopes of Dutch skaters winning every gold on offer on day two as she won the 1500m and her seventh career World Championship title.
The reigning Olympic 1000m gold medallist powered her way to the top step of the podium, clocking 1:56.07, to deny Dutch skater Ireen Wust, who was third in the 3000m on Thursday, by 0.33.
But Linda de Vries ensured the Netherlands won six of the nine available medals on offer on day two in Heerenveen by finishing third just over a second behind Canadian Nesbitt.

What keeps Maritimers from buying more local food in supermarkets / How George Wendt (Norm from "Cheers") settled on a run of "Hairspray" in Charlottetown / Phone-in: Art Irwin on ventilation, heating & energy conservation
The "Choke Point" At Your Supermarket : The old challenge "put your money where your mouth is" seems tailor-made for the issue of Maritime consumers supporting local food producers. Because despite all the talk about the importance of buying locally, a study released by the Ecology Action Centre & the Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture last week showed that the portion of people's food budget spent on local meat, fish, vegetables and fruit has actually declined - from 17% in 1997 to 13% in 2008.
It's not clear why that's happened, but Fred Wade has a pretty good idea about one obstacle to increasing local sales.
Mr Wade operated nine independent supermarkets in Annapolis Valley communities before he sold the chain 14 years ago. He now runs a successful pyrotechnics company, Fireworks FX, but he's still keenly interested in the food business.
Where Everybody Knows His Name : American actor George Wendt created the much-loved character Norm Peterson on the long-running TV hit sitcom "Cheers". The deadpan one-liners he fired back to Woody as he arrived for a beer at the legendary bar have become classics.
But are you ready for George Wendt taking to the stage as Edna Turnblad in the Charlottetown Festival's production of Hairspray later this summer ? It's a role he first performed on Broadway in 2007. We reached George Wendt in Charlottetown.
And to re-acquaint yourself with some of those exchanges between Norm & Woody, click here.
It's The Heat...And The Humidity : Many tenants and homeowners in the Maritimes don't have the luxury of air conditioning.
But even without A/C, you can take steps to help you get a good night's sleep, and reduce the mould and mildew problems from moisture that's condensing in all the wrong places.
Energy Consultant Art Irwin returned to answer your questions about beating the summer heat, and making sure your abode is cool, dry and comfortable.

Powerful vibrator
Reviewed: 16 February 2014 by fizzy, a Straight Married Female
I love the look and feel of this vibrator. It's a lovely lilac colour and is very smooth and sleek to touch.
It says on the box that the vibrator is waterproof but it's not in my experience.
The first time I used it in the shower it stopped working due to water getting inside. Lovehoney replaced it immediately and I haven't used the replacement in water.
The vibrator has five vibration modes and five rotation modes which are easy to use. When I first used it took a while for me to select the right settings for me. but once I'd found my ideal setting I had an intense orgasm and has continued to provide them each time I've used it.
- Pros
- The rotation and vibration settings.
- Cons
- The build quality around the controls.
- Bottom line
- Provides intense orgasms just avoid using it in the water.

A lively lilac letdown
Reviewed: 02 March 2014 by JessyBunny89, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I was looking forward to this item arriving as it looks very different from a lot of the vibrators I have purchased previously.
The texture of this is soft to the touch, and the ridges on it are minimal enough to not make it seem alien-like, but still feel interesting when inserted. The flat angled tip is good for finding your G-Spot, but is a little large for clitoral stimulation if you want to use it for both.
The batteries are easy to insert, and the battery base feels tight when closed.
There are two buttons on the product; one for vibrations and one for rotations. They both work simultaneously at different settings. They are very easy to use, and the buttons are clear, and are turned off by holding them down.
The vibrations start off with three speed settings, and then move in to patterned settings, of which there are two. A lot of my favourite vibrators have more rumbled vibrations. With this toy I found that the vibrations were very fast and almost too much. It almost felt like it was numbing me. The patterned vibrations are an improvement of this, as the differing speeds made for a more interesting experience.
There are 5 different rotation settings to choose from. Obviously you have clockwise and then anti-clockwise, and then a mixture of the two for the remaining settings. The rotations are quite subtle (you wouldn't use it to stir a cup of tea), as I worry that sometimes the rotations would be too extreme for me. However, when you stopped the rotations, it would be very hard to stop it when it is straight, and not at an angle; slightly annoying when you are just aiming for straight insertion.
The sound of this is sort of like if your phone is vibrating on a wooden table. Loud enough to be noticed by someone in another room, especially when you start altering the settings. Not ideal if you are in a house full of people.
I also tested this product under the water, and it held up pretty well, but after use I could see that some water had got inside. It still works, but I wouldn't use it under water again.
Over-all, and in terms of orgasm rating, this product was a let-down. My orgasm was not very impressive, and halfway through I was almost bored of using it. Good texture, buttons are easy to use, and the shape is good, but it won't be used on a regular basis.
- Pros
- The texture, ease of use, and shape were all excellent. The subtle rotations were satisfying.
- Cons
- The vibrations were so powerful it almost numbed me, and it was noticeably noisy.
- Bottom line
- Won't knock your socks off, but possibly a good vibrator for beginners.

I installes Smallerik File Browser on my web page and it worked great.
Then I did a stupid thing: as a security measure I deleted the only "admin" account and got one with a new login.
Since that time when I go to the dashboard and the WPFIB settings the only message is:
You are not allowed to edit these settings
You should be listed in the Permissions -> Trusted Authors option to access this functionality
Current settings = [1]
I deactivated all other plug-ins - problem still there.
I deleted the WPFIB completely and also wiped the database entries in wp_options.
I used the old admin account again.
I still get the error message.
Maybe there are settings in the database I was not able to erase and are still there?
This "current settings = [1]"
where can I change that and which value should I use?
I do not want to set up my whole page from the start up.
Please advise!
WP is 3.4.2 and WPFIB is 1.0 on an apache server

Ruby 1.9.2 Released
New methods and enhanced IPv6 support among major improvements.
Ruby 1.9.2 was released today and with the incremental update comes a few noticeable features and improvements.
Ruby 1.9.2 features a new socket API that improves IPv6 support. It also features random number generators through its new Random class. Time has been reinstated, alleviating the 2038 time problem that is only a problem if we, as a society, are still using 32-bit machines in the year 2038.
Ruby 1.9.2 supports Debian 5, 32- and 64-bit flavors of Windows, OS X 10.5 and 10.6, FreeBSD 6, Solaris 10, Symbian. Ruby 1.9.2 is unverified on additional Linux distros, other versions of OS X, AIX 5, and BeOS. Ruby 1.9.2 passes more than 99 percent of the RubySpec.
Yay!Love Ruby! Now if only more developers would pull the trigger and jump to 1.9 (including me).

I called up Medicus (makers of the Stack & Tilt) and told them I wanted a refund. They said to simply return the package and it would be taken care of. I received the package, never opened it and returned it right away. Its been 7 days since I returned the package and I called today to check on my refund. I was told that they have not received the DVD's and I should check with the post office (they told me to mark it return to sender, no tracking number, etc.).
The part of this that is suspicious is that Medicus is located only 45 miles from where I mailed the package yet and there is not way it would take more than a day or two for them to receive the package. Since I have no tracking number its almost impossible to track down a rougue package and this becomes my word against theirs.
For anybody out there interested in buying the "Stack & Tilt Golf Swing DVD's) please note that they will process your credit card for at least $107+ when they clearly say on the website that the DVD cost $19.95. Also, when returning the package please be prepared to have them simply tell you they never received it and you need to work it out with the post office.

D70 Issues
I just got a second hand D70 that is a few years old. I am having issues with the camera misfiring randomly when I take pictures which causes an error screen. I was told by the local shop that it needs to be sent off to Nikon. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or if my only option is to send it off? I am also in the greater St. Louis area if anyone knows of a place that could possibly help.

Hi Cassie,
Welcome to Nikonians!
Sorry to hear of your problem.
Depending on what you mean by random misfiring, and which error message you see: if there is a CHA error, try resating the memory card.
If that doesn't work, the closest Nikon Authorized Service Station to St. Louis is:

When I try to take a picture every fifth one or so it will double take and some times I get a CHA error and sometimes I just get ERR. Then when I try to view pictures it says image contains no data or that this memory card cannot be used.
#4. "RE: D70 Issues" | In response to Reply # 3MEMcD Nikonian since 24th Dec 2007Thu 11-Jul-13 08:30 PM
Hi Cassie,
In addition to what I wrote above,
Your memory card could be corrupted or might not be compatible.
The D70 was introduced almost 10 years ago and if I remember correctly is limited to a maximum of 2GB CF memory cards that are very slow compared to the current offerings. Check the approved memory card list in the D70 User Manual.
What brand, speed, and size of memory card(s) are you using?
Did you format the card in the camera before capturing the first image?
Keep in mind that formatting the card will delete all of the image files, so upload all of the images to your computer before formatting the card in the camera.
Best Regards,
