Photo courtesy of the National Archives and Records Administration. Photo by Byron E. Schumaker. PD. On this day in 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and his entourage, including National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger and Secretary of State William Rogers, landed in Beijing for an historic trip to China. It was "The week that changed the world," as President Nixon called his eight-day trip that included official meetings, cultural visits, and sightseeing in Beijing, Hangchow, and Shanghai. According to Nixon biographer Stephen Ambrose: He knew that when his old friend John Foster Dulles had refused to shake the hand of Chou En-lai in Geneva in 1954, Chou had felt insulted. He knew too that American television cameras would be at the Peking airport to film his arrival. A dozen times on the way to Peking, Nixon told Kissinger and Secretary of State William Rogers that they were to stay on the plane until he had descended the gangway and shaken Chou En-lai's hand. As added insurance, a Secret Service agent blocked the aisle of Air Force One to make sure the president emerged alone. The trip was widely televised and viewed. On February 27, the U.S. and China issued a joint communiqué, later known as the Shanghai Communiqué, which pledged both countries to work for "normalization" of relations, and to expand "people-to-people contacts" and trade opportunities and for the United States to withdraw gradually from Taiwan. In October 1967, when he was running for president, Nixon wrote in a Foreign Affairs piece: Taking the long view, we simply cannot afford to leave China forever outside the family of nations. There is no place on this small planet for a billion of its potentially most able people to live in angry isolation. But the depth of Nixon's commitment to a new relationship with China was difficult to judge. During his first years in office, Nixon sensed an opportunity as relations between the Soviet Union and China continued to deteriorate. Reversing Cold War precedent, he publicly referred to the country by its official name, the People's Republic of China. In Spring 1971, Mao Zedong invited an American table tennis team to China for some exhibition matches. Following the breakthrough of sorts, Nixon sent Kissinger to China to engage in secret meetings with Chinese officials, thus laying the ground for Nixon's trip the following year. As one of the most anti-Communist politicians of the Cold War, Nixon was in a unique position to launch a diplomatic opening to China, leading to the birth of a new political maxim: "Only Nixon could go to China." It was only a first step, but a decisive one, in the budding rapprochement between the two countries. Read more about Nixon's presidency, including his trip to China, here.

Curious about its origins and development? Molly Michelmore, an associate professor of history at Washington and Lee University and former Miller Center Fellow, offers her views in the Washington Post. The federal income tax was once quite popular. According to Michelmore: After the Civil War, the federal government relied on a combination of consumption taxes and high tariffs to raise revenue. Both bore most heavily on regular people while doing little to tap the fortunes of the Gilded Age's robber barons. Popular hostility toward these moneyed interests helps explain the initial popularity of the income tax. In their 1892 platform, a group of agrarian radicals known as Populists demanded a graduated income tax to bring an end to "oppression, injustice, and poverty" and to restore "equal rights and equal privileges for all." Republicans and Democrats took notice; in 1894, Congress imposed a 2 percent tax on incomes over $4,000. After the Supreme Court ruled the legislation unconstitutional, Congress sent an income tax amendment to the states for ratification. On February 3, 1913, the 16th amendment was ratified. According to Michelmore, it wasn't until post-World War II that income tax declined in popularity as a result of liberals divorcing economic security and mobility from the burden of taxation. Read Michelmore's full piece here. Michelmore is also author of Tax and Spend: The Welfare State, Tax Politics, and the Limits of American Liberalism.

March 4, 1909. Photo courtesy of M. A. DeWolfe Howe (1919), PD. On this day in 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt signed a bill creating the Department of Commerce and Labor, the ninth Cabinet office. In his first State of the Union address delivered on December 3, 1901, Roosevelt called for the creation of the department. Although there had been a long-standing dispute between labor forces and business interests, Roosevelt did not believe that labor and capital were in conflict with one another. Rather, he thought that combining the functions of various information and statistics bureaus into one department would be more efficient. Roosevelt told Congress in his annual message: There should be created a Cabinet officer, to be known as Secretary of Commerce and Industries, as provided in the bill introduced at the last session of the Congress. It should be his province to deal with commerce in its broadest sense; including among many other things whatever concerns labor and all matters affecting the great business corporations and our merchant marine. The course proposed is one phase of what should be a comprehensive and far-reaching scheme of constructive statesmanship for the purpose of broadening our markets, securing our business interests on a safe basis, and making firm our new position in the international industrial world; while scrupulously safeguarding the rights of wage-worker and capitalist, of investor and private citizen, so as to secure equity as between man and man in this Republic. Senator William P. Frye (R-Maine) translated these ideas into legislation, which he introduced in the 57th Congress. The bill passed despite Democratic minority opposition to the bill on the grounds that Labor would be submerged and that the distrust between labor and business would destroy the usefulness of the Department. President Roosevelt appointed his private secretary, George B. Cortelyou, the first Secretary of Commerce and Labor.

Photo by Lawrence Jackson, PD. Tonight President Obama will deliver the first State of the Union Address of his second term. As we learned from former presidential speechwriters, under the modern presidency, the objectives of the SOTU are to set the president up for what he is trying to achieve that year, to get a bounce in public approval, to inoculate the public when introducing controversial policies and to generate support for those policies within Congress. Yet, because the SOTU attempts to do so much, it rarely makes history, serving instead as a laundry list with few memorable moments or lines. Thus, the SOTU tends to contribute to the idea that presidents are remembered more for what they do than what they say. Still, the SOTU is valuable since it lays out a president's objectives and provides a basis by which we might measure his accomplishments. We combed through our archives and offer in this post what we think are the the memorable SOTU addresses in the modern presidency. Read more → Presidents and the Presidency Miller Center Resources Tweet Posted February 11, 2013 By Carah Ong Presidential Speechwriters' Perspectives on the SOTU Terry Edmonds (Clinton speechwriter), Lee Huebner (Nixon and Ford speechwriter), and Clark Judge (Reagan and Bush speechwriter) A speech is part theater and part political declaration; it is a personal communication between a leader and his people: it is art, and all art is a paradox, being at once a thing of great power and great delicacy. -Peggy Noonan, Former Speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, from What I Saw On February 12, President Obama will deliver the annual State of the Union (SOTU) address to a joint session of Congress. What distinguishes the SOTU from other presidential speeches is that it is the only constitutionally mandated speech. This post offers historical perspective on the SOTU based on insights from former speechwriters for presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and William Jefferson Clinton. The State of the Union was transformed with the onset of the television age. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson moved the SOTU from midday to evening in order to attract a larger television audience. Indeed, tens of millions of Americans (roughly 30% of households with television) are expected to tune in to watch the address. But televising the speech has meant that presidents are more limited in what they can say. Televised State of the Union addresses delivered from Dwight D. Eisenhower to present have ranged from 3,500 to 9,200 words. One way that Richard Nixon dealt with this limitation was to limit what he said about foreign policy and draft a separate "State of the World message." In 1970, for example, Nixon gave only a broad outline of his foreign policy in the SOTU, but on February 18 of that same year, he transmitted the "First Annual Report to Congress on United States Foreign Policy for the 1970s." According to Lee Huebner, speechwriter for Richard Nixon (and corroborated by the National Archives), it was President Franklin D. Roosevelt who popularized the term "State of the Union" in 1935. From 1790 to 1934, it was simply called the "Annual Message." Even though the most memorable speeches tend to be short, like Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the SOTU has essentially become a laundry list of wide-ranging policies on the president's agenda for the year. So what purpose does the SOTU fulfill? The answer tends to vary by president.

Harding Installs Radio in White House In 1921, President Warren Harding spoke into a recording apparatus to create a phonographic copy of one of his speeches. PD. On this day in 1922, President Warren G. Harding had a radio installed in the White House. On June 14 of the same year, Harding became the first president to have his voice transmitted to the American public by radio. Although President Harding's address was not radio-specific (Calvin Coolidge was the first to deliver a presidential address on radio in 1923), the broadcast of Harding's speech dedicating a memorial site for Francis Scott Key heralded a revolutionary shift in how presidents addressed the American public. Check out the Miller Center's Warren G. Harding Speech Exhibit, which features 14 audio excerpts of speeches given by Harding before 1922. The audio clips were recorded from 1917 until 1921 during three stages in Harding's career—as a U.S. Senator from Ohio, as the Republican Party's presidential candidate, and finally as President of the United States. The recorded collection was first assembled by President Harding's nephew, Dr. George T. Harding III.

Photo by Amber Lautigar Reichert. On Monday, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright addressed a packed Miller Center Forum. Earlier in the afternoon, she was generous with her time and met with more than 50 students from politics, history, and other classes taught by Miller Center faculty and from the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. She was pleased to see such a multi-disciplinary gathering, and remarked on the importance of aspiring leaders to have such a wide and diverse background of study. Today, we bring you some highlights from her exchange with the students. Albright began by noting that we are living in a very complicated time in which there are more forces that are less and less controllable and don't lend themselves to the tools of statecraft that we possess. The tools of statecraft that we possess – aid, trade, sanctions, threat of force, force, etc. – work in relations between states. But now we are dealing with non-state actors and they are both difficult and bring different forms of war. In a book she prepared for the president in 2008, she argued that there are five big umbrella issues the U.S. must effectively deal with: fighting terrorism without creating more terrorists. She noted that the death of Osama bin Laden was important, but we have to address the root causes of terrorism, including poverty, alienation and the remnants of colonialism. the proliferation of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. addressing the growing gap between the rich and poor energy, environment and climate change, and restoring the good name of democracy. Today, she would add a sixth issue to that list – the global financial crisis. The use of drones presents a tough challenge. Albright posited that they are are effective, but the decision making around their use is cloudy and this presents problems. Another significant challenge the United States and world faces is cyber war. For example, can a cyber attack trigger NATO's Article V protection of collective defense? How do we retaliate in case of an attack? Should cyber attacks be included as a tool of statecraft?

By G.P.A. Healy. PD Leading up to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, which will be delivered on February 12, 2013, RTT will provide historical insights and feature materials from our archives. "[The President] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient..." -Article II, U.S. Constitution Seemingly innocuous constitutional provisions like the one above in Article 2, Section 3 are known for becoming less trivial in the era of "modern" presidents and "legislative leviathans." When it comes to State of the Union addresses, however, the proof requires far less evidence. On February 12th, Barack Obama will give a speech before both Houses of Congress and a national television audience, and barring a significant shift in presidential strategic action, it will contain a substantive, charismatic appeal to the American people to support his 2013 agenda. These descriptive facts are alien to States of the Union prior to the 20th century. A simple comparison will make the point clearer. Consider Barack Obama's 2013 State of the Union in light of another titanic speech certainly worth remembering: the 1850 address of Millard Fillmore. This is inaccurate, of course, because the 1850 State of the Union was not a speech, it was a letter (as the substantial proportion of SOTU addresses have been). In it, there is little in the way of emotional appeals, and it has an "agenda" that is minor by modern comparison. Fortunately, Fillmore was courteous enough to report the annual revenue and expenditures, and contributions to the reduction in national debt. In addition, it contains pledges to respect the office, an explicit reference to the state of nature, and general references to the goings on of the past year.

Stewart gleaned answers from a survey of over ten thousand respondents to some of the most interesting questions regarding election administration in the recent election, including topics such as reasons motivating voter turnout and public opinion regarding voter ID laws. Overall, Stewart stressed that the vast majority of Americans have a good voting experience. A large proportion of voters wait five minutes or less on election day, and the vast majority of voters say it was very easy to find their polling place. However, Stewart's talk suggests that more work could be done. In both his colloquium paper and talk, Stewart cited what V.O. Key wrote in 1949: election administration is "the most primitive and neglected branch of our public administration." This suggests that more time ought to be spent addressing, in a systematic and scientific way, the administrative challenges associated with the expedience, accuracy, and accessibility of voting. Stewart showed those states that had previous problems with long wait times, particularly Florida, tended to continue to have the same problems--rebutting the notion that the 2012 Election was particularly problematic in that way. Instead, Stewart said long wait times are more often a function of statewide policies, year after year. For more, watch the full colloquium, which also touched on issues such as higher wait times for minority voters and partisan polarization over election reforms.

Forty years ago today, President Richard Nixon announced to the nation that the United States and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam had finally concluded an agreement to end the war in Vietnam. Nixon had promised to end the Vietnam War in his campaign for the presidency in 1968. In his reelection campaign in 1972, he once again promised to end the war in Vietnam in such a way as to ensure a "a full generation of peace." In his address on January 23, 1973, Nixon told the nation: We must recognize that ending the war is only the first step toward building the peace. All parties must now see to it that this is a peace that lasts, and also a peace that heals—and a peace that not only ends the war in Southeast Asia but contributes to the prospects of peace in the whole world. The official cease-fire, along with the release of all American prisoners of war, went into effect on January 28, though troops remained in Vietnam until the fall of Saigon in 1975.

White House photo by Sonya Hebert, PD. Brian Balogh, the Compton Professor at the Miller Center and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, opines on CNN.com that President Obama's second inaugural address matters because future historians will mark it as the moment the president explained why he is a progressive: The programs that Obama called for were characteristically liberal: reaffirming the social safety net, equal pay for women, etc. Nothing new here -- just the Obama classic. What differed this time, and what this moment was made for (to twist the president's own words) was articulating the progressive rationale for these programmatic ends. "Preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action," Obama proudly told the nation... His second election behind him, Obama linked his fate and the nation's to a rationale that propelled tens of millions of Americans into the middle class. By making collective action explicit, Obama yoked a century-old progressive agenda to the nation's founding documents and its past history. "Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people." To achieve America's lofty goals of "life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" will require back watching, backslapping and no shortage of back-scratching as well.

In a Presidential Inaugural Committee video released over the weekend, President Obama noted that two men he admires more than anyone in American history are Dr. Martin Luther King and President Abraham Lincoln because without them, he would not be in office. The inaugural weekend once again featured a "Day of Service" because the public ceremony falls on the Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday. President Obama told the country: The inauguration reminds us of the role we have as citizens in promoting a common good as well as making sure we carry out our individual responsibilities. President Obama will be sworn into his second term using the bibles of Dr. King and President Lincoln, bringing additional significance to the inaugural ceremonies as this year marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th Anniversary of the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom." Dr. King's speech to the participants in the August 1963 march was one of the most memorable moments and he roused the crowd by addressing the racial injustices and discrimination that continued to plague the nation 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. He criticized the nation for defaulting on a "promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned": Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. In some of the most powerful lines of the speech, Dr. King told the crowd he had a dream. Among his dreams was that his "four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Judy is a retired teacher, and an American. Her husband David ran a factory in Haiti for 15 years before retiring himself and moving with Judy to the seaside village of Montrouis. They've lived there now for 25 years. One day a couple years ago Judy's passion for teaching reemerged and she decided to sponsor a local school. A contractor was hired and a building went up that was pretty standard as Haitian schools go. Two years later there an earthquake shook the region and the couple sought the help of Archiecture for Humanity to make repairs to the school–if any were needed. Architecture for Humanity sent an architect and a structural engineer who together determined the whole building was unfit to occupy. Judy's school, Collège Mixte le Bon Berger ("collège" in French being another world for "secondary," or "junior high" school) was too insufficiently reinforced and would have to eventually be torn down. Perhaps the foundation could be salvaged.
Going LEED in Haiti may be easier than you think. Last Friday, at the Rebuilding Center's second Meet n Greet (official name still pending), our LEED Design Fellow Stacey McMahan hosted a conversation among Haitian professionals about the applicability of sustainable building techniques to Haitian construction and culture. The concensus was: Haitians are effortlessly energy efficient.
But does that make Haiti right for LEED? LEED is a rating system that's quickly becoming an industry standard for sustainable building design in the developed world. It outlines steps to make buildings use fewer resources and rates projects on their efficiency and sensitivity to local climate by awarding them medals, basically. Bronze, Silver, Gold and, for the extremely "green" projects, PLatiNUm. LEED emphasizes the science of the architecture/engineering/construction world, suggesting techniques that most buildings could adopt to be more environmentally responsible.

It has been devastating to watch the waters rise and sweep away whole villages in Pakistan. With millions of lives affected the question is not should we respond but how? While we have been heavily involved in the rebuilding in Haiti, thanks to our local Karachi chapter, we have the capacity to respond in a small but impactful to the post-flood regions of Pakistan. Architecture for Humanity Karachi will be our lead team for the work ahead.
It is our mission not just building back but do so in an economically and sustainable manner. We are adopting a strategy of supporting locally built incremental housing and here is our three point plan with funds we have available.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Dynamat SuperLite Tri-Pak by Dominic Devito Dynamat SuperLite sound damping material keeps road noise out without weighing down your vehicle, so you can enjoy your music and a fuel-efficient journey. This damping material — a technologically advanced plastic with a low-density synthetic core and alloy skin — conforms and fuses to your car's floor pans, doors, and other surfaces. It converts the dynamic motion energy in your vehicle's problem spots into silence you can appreciate. You'll hear less unwanted noise caused by vibrations and resonance and more of your favorite music, with noticeably improved bass response. The 10612 bulk kit includes three 18" x 32" sheets of Dynamat SuperLite, for a total of 12 square feet. A car door typically requires about 5 square feet of SuperLite, but you can apply it just about anywhere, including the trunk, hood, and roof. SuperLite is lighter and thinner than Original Dynamat and comes with a distinctive blue finish. Warranty: 60 days.

Pros: quality product that does as advertised simple application reduces road-noise too, so you're using it even when there's no tunes on Cons: pricey, but that's no fault of CF seems like you could go overboard pretty quickly, and that would make it doubly expensive! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Does what is says..... Written By StangStrong, Cincinnati, OH on Tuesday, July 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Adding to your current system? Written By Mikey, powder springs, GA on Thursday, May 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This stuff is great! It's lighter, thinner and unfortunately from what i've read less efficient than the EXTREME dynamat. But i didnt think the extreme was needed for my build. My next car will defiantly consist of the better stuff. It helped take all the rattles out of my doors and improved my speaker quality along with some speaker baffles. Pros: Was enough for 4 doors in an extended cab and cheaper than other dynamats. It also come with a cool sticker and emblem. The thud in closing my doors what i didnt have before! Cons: wish i had more to do the back wall, but ill buy more down the road if it becomes a need. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Works great Written By CurticeC, Redondo Beach,CA on Sunday, March 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well worth the investment. As long as the door panels are off you might as well take the time to making extra improvements to your sound. I did the entire door. I don't know what my new system would sound like w/ out it but I know it sounds quieter inside my truck. My new system is louder than the factory system on the inside but noticeably quieter on the outside. I'm sure those around appreciate it more than I do. Pros: Easy to instal. Really made my Tacoma quieter inside and out! Was this review helpful?

Installed this in the pillars behind the doors in my 2011 GMC 3500. No noticeable difference. Very similar material to bituthene which is used in roofing.

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Decent Written By Mark, Houston on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Before the sound from the trunk was very metal in metal. Now with the dynamat it's toned down alot. Could be better but for what i bought and the price overall pleased. Didn't use the roller not sure if it would have made a difference. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Loving it so far Written By M.D., Midway, GA on Sunday, March 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Immediately I had no vibrations in the door of my 2008 Ford F-150 FX2 Sport. The doors even shut with a more solid and no rattle sound. But the sound was better from my BS speakers from the beginning. I can't wait to upgrade the speakers on my Pioneer Avic head unit and add the Amp and 12 in the back. I'm going to do the entire truck cab with Dynamat. And I'm also going to do my car to. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 AWESOME AS ALWAYS Written By Ndu4orm, Windsor, VA on Friday, February 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been using Dynamat since 1992, it was great then and still performs even better now. Nothing was wrong with the material I installed in 1992 but I had to fix the window in my son's 92' Tercel and since I had to take the panel off I decide to Re-Dynamat the door. The new material was easy to work with and went on with ease. I'm also going to do the rear-deck. If you're not using this material you are missing out on a great product. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 More than what I expect Written By Vanessa M., Oak Harbor, WA on Sunday, October 17, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've installed this first in the trunk of my 2004 Mustang because of the greater surface area and less items for me to ruin just in case I mess up. If you are a Mustang owner, you know how it gets loud in the car especially driving on the highways like we have here in Washington. The noise reduction in my car has been reduced by a lot with this in my trunk. I can hear my stereo without cranking the volume up. When I use its bluetooth feature for phone calls, the other party are not complaining about the background noise anymore... and I haven't even installed them on my doors and hood. I'm a believer... I've ordered more dynamat for my doors and hood. It is so easy to install and it conforms to all knicks and crevices of your car. I was able to do it on my own without any help just by following the instructions provided. Just be patient because it does get tedious after a while. I would suggest wearing gloves or something to protect you hands. The shiny part of the material is a little sharp. I would also recommend using smaller pieces especially when you are installing it in your trunk and acquiring the metal tape for the seams. It makes it look better! 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Much Lighter than original Dynamat - Same Quality Written By Michael, NJ - 1995 Acura Integra on Friday, August 13, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used the original dynamat with my doors; and then was planning on doing my rear side panels and trunk. I looked at so many different products but decided to use this dynamat paired with the rubber roller for the install. I'm glad I bought this quantity because you don't realize how fast you use this stuff up. When it arrived it was just as thick as the original dynamat but much much lighter; and it was easier to work with as well. It was a breeze to install with the extra rubber roller. Saved me a ton of time; and extra weight. Once I finished the trunk and rear panels; I really could not believe how much outside noise is eliminated. The difference is amazing. If you're going to go through all the work of removing the interior trim panels to apply dynamat; then please don't be cheap. Spend the extra money for more dynamat and do it right. The hastle of removing interior trim panels sucked, but I'm glad I bought enough to make it worth it in the end. Next I'm buying the hoodliner. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Packed with symbolism and spirituality from the artist's rich Native American heritage, this lovely pendant is a showstopper. Shining sterling silver features a swirl of 14 karat yellow gold surrounded by detailed cutouts that symbolize elements of nature. A triangular mottled light brown and gray chalcedony cabochon provides a gentle complement to the meticulous detailing and an oversized bail makes the pendant wearable on just about any chain or cord. A piece that adds pizzazz to any collection, pendant measures 3" long x 1-5/8" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the Niles MS220 by Amanda P. This small IR (infrared) sensor works as part of an IR repeater system, letting you control audio/video components concealed inside a cabinet or hidden in another room. It picks up commands from your audio/video system's remote control. The MS220's tiny size and built-in adhesive strip allow for flexible placement on the front of your component cabinet, for example, or on your TV's bezel. To complete your IR repeater system, you'll also need: An IR hub: The hub accepts the IR signals from the MS220 sensor, and passes the instructions on to your A/V gear via IR flashers. IR flashers: The IR hub passes the commands from the MS220 to these infrared light-emitting devices, which in turn control your components.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features IR System Overview: An infrared (IR) extender system enables you to control your IR remote controlled A/V equipment from a remote location. This enables you to place your A/V components out of sight (behind cabinet doors, in the rear of a room, or in a different room) and still conveniently control your equipment. IR System Components: The MS220 miniature surface-mount IR sensor is one of three elements that make up an infrared extender system: IR Main System Unit (sold separately): The IR Main System Unit provides a connection hub for the IR sensors and the IR flashers and is generally located near the A/V components. The Main System Unit's level controls and LED indicators enable you to calibrate and troubleshoot an IR extender system. The Main System Unit is the "heart" of an IR extender system. IR Sensors/Keypad: IR Sensors: IR Sensors are the "eyes" of the system, receiving IR commands from hand-held remote controls and relaying the commands to the Main System Unit via a 4-conductor shielded cable. Generally, sensors are placed so that you can easily and naturally point your remote control directly at them. Sensors are available in wall-mount, ceiling-mount, surface-mount and table-top models. Keypad (sold separately): The IntelliPad is a wall-mounted, programmable IR keypad system that provides a unique LED power status display and the convenience of true one-button remote control of complex audio/video systems. IR Flashers (sold separately): IR Flashers re-transmit the infrared signals from the IR Main System Unit to your A/V components. Flashers are the "voice" of an IR extender system that "speaks" to your components. Universal Compatibility: When used in a complete system, this IR sensor is compatible with virtually all brands of A/V equipment and remote controls using carrier frequencies of between 25kHz and 90kHz. The MS220 is also compatible with the recently introduced Philips RCMM codes. Universal Noise Suppression: The sensor has a patent-pending Universal Noise Suppression design that effectively eliminates IR interference from plasma and LCD TVs, CFL (fluorescent) lighting, and direct sunlight. This two-stage technology combines an optical noise filter with a "smart" electronic circuit to provide consistent, reliable control. IR Receiving Range: You get 20' to 35' of remote control range, depending upon the strength of your handheld remote. The IR pickup angle is 30° off-axis (horizontal and vertical) at 25 feet. Bi-colored LED: The LED glows green when the system is on and flashes blue to confirm reception of IR commands. Mounting: The MS220 is designed to surface-mount almost anywhere with its self-adhesive backing. Convenient mounting locations for the MS220 include: on the front panel of a television set, on the front surface of a wall, a cabinet, an appliance, or a speaker grille. Wiring: The MS220 connects to the Niles infrared main systems unit (or IRH610 sensor expansion hub) with an individual "home run" of Category 5 ("Cat 5") cable. When running wires inside walls, most states and municipalities usually require the wire to have a specific "CL" fire rating.

Excellent qualite and works great. Pros: Great product Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Needed upgrade for ATT U-verse Written By JohnC, Detroit, MI on Thursday, June 30, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased a Niles IR repeater system 3 years ago from Crutchfield so that I could place my cable box and DVD player out of sight in a closet. The system worked great for 3 years but recently I changed my cable service to AT&T U-verse. The repeater system didn't work with the U-verse cable box. The consensus online was that the U-verse cable box uses a frequency range that is higher than my previous receiver was capable of handling. I purchased the MS220 to replace my older MS210 receiver. The MS220 works perfectly with the U-verse box. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This interview was conducted in winter 2010 by Mira Kruger, the granddaughter of a PH patient and a volunteer writer for PHA's Pathlight newsletter.
Where do you live?I live in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania.
How old are you?I'm twelve years old.
When were you diagnosed?I was diagnosed June 29, 2009, when I had a heart catheterization to check on things with my heart.
When did you first start having symptoms of PH?Luckily, I've never experienced any symptoms of PH. I ended up getting PH as a result of my congenital heart disease.
When were you diagnosed with the congenital heart disease?I was diagnosed at birth with Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia.
What activities do you do?I like to do a lot of things. I ride my bike, wave board, play baseball and basketball, and play video games.
Have you ever felt unable to do things because of having PH?I don't really feel like I've missed out on anything or been restricted from doing anything because of PH. My heart defect keeps me from doing contact sports and tons of sit ups and pushups, but that's okay with me. I have a lot of other activities that I can do, so I'm not disappointed with the things I can't do.
How has your life changed since your PH diagnosis?Certain things have changed since I've been diagnosed with PH. I have to take more medicine and have to go to more doctors' appointments with more tests. I have a great doctor at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Dr. Hanna, and a great nurse practitioner, Steve Walker, who really take the time to explain things to me and are doing their best to make sure I can keep on doing everything I love to do.
What is a message you'd like to pass on to other kids with PH?My message to other kids with PH would be to not let PH take over your life. It can be a scary thing to think about but so is a really hard math test or tryouts for a sports team. It's not the end of the world. I know that if I continue to go to my doctor's appointments and take my medicine, then I can look forward to having a long, happy life.

Interview with Max Cheprack, Clay extrusion - Techniques, May 2012
TECHNIQUES, May 2012: Max Cheprack
/ Read more articles in Ceramics Now - Issue Two
Ceramics Now Magazine: You are studying Industrial Design at the Holon Institute of Technology, Israel, and recently you underwent a research project on clay extrusion. What are its concepts? Tell us about the technical process.
Max Cheprack: The extruding clay project started in the third year of my studies, for B.design in industrial design, when I first met the manual extruder in ceramics course. After learning various techniques in the field of ceramic design, I was fascinated by the option to create clay objects using replication. The Semi-industrial process of extruding clay enables the creation of precise and complex objects easily and quickly. Extrusion allows me to design the inside of the object, something that the rest of the techniques do not allow. Extruding technology allows to produce a closed and complex object, and therefore very strong. This allows the expansion of production beyond the products we know today. In addition, this technology brings new aesthetic to the ceramic field.
As an Industrial designer who is interested in manufacturing technologies, I moved away from the dies that come with the manual extruder Kit, and I began to assemble a set of basic dies with complex shapes. Later, I have built an extruder which works on pneumatic piston, in order to free both of my hands. This allows me to make variety of manipulations on the objects like bending and cutting.
In order to explore the limits of this technology, I decided to make a stool. The stool is a challenging product for extruding clay process because it is a relatively big product, which must be strong enough to bear persons weight, and should be able to connect with other materials.
My inspiration is taken from a local element of the Middle East - Mashrabiya. Though the project ended as part of my design studies, for me he is a starting point to new possibilities in ceramic design.
Max Cheprack, Chairs made with the extruding machine
What was the most difficult part in creating the necessary tools for the project? Did you get any help?
The hardest part in this project was to understand the size relation between the size of the die and the amount of power that needed to push the clay. First I played with the manual extruder that we have in our workshop and then I made different dies to check how complex things can be. After realizing clearly how things are working I wanted to make the next step towards an extruder that will free both my hands to make manipulations on the objects while it is being extruded. I consulted with an engineer who just gave me a headache with schemes numbers and stuff that I couldn't understand, so I decided to use a pneumatic piston as my base for the machine and after many trails with different pistons and die sizes I made one small extruder and one big extruder.

Moving To LA from SF So, Im planning on moving to LA. I'd like to a oven filet mignon recipe sk what exactly are some good neighborhoods to check out. I definately don't want to be in the burbs, but would want a place where you can walk to gourmet coffee (not Starbucks) and also food. A central location is preferred. Thanks for any advice! living within LA Unfortunately there's no real "central" location in LA, though there are locations that could be central to a interests. If you prefer the beach, live in Venice or Santa Monica. If you prefer tall buildings, live downtown. It also depends on how much money you are able to spend. If you prefer the beach but don't have much money, you can find places in Venice but not so much in Santa Monica. So what are you willing to spend, and what is your lifestyle enjoy? re: living within LA Work wise I'd be commuting to the Glendale/Pasadena area. So, I'd prefer something close to downtown or The movies. I used to live in the Valley when i was much youthful, and would never do that again! Eastside if you're going to work in Glendale it isn't worth it to reside on the Westside except if you're a surfer and need to be near the seashore. If you like to avoid the area (understandable) try Silver precious metal Lake, Echo Park, or Mt. Washingon. Downtown is not too bad but i find it kind of isolating--even though there are apartments/lofts down right now there it feels very desterted whenever other than the weekday (and anywhere with the exception of Broadway). ugh, Westside Rentals Use them as a LAST resort. You have to pay and it is extremely, very competetive (meaning there are a lot of people with access to those listings who're agressive about selecting a place). The couple of times I've moved within LA I found it much quicker to drive (or walk) around and look for rent signs together with numbers posted; often it's the number of the landlord so you can get direct access to be able to him/her and you could have already seen the area before you.
