Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Ken Nail The CD-AH200C Android adapter kit lets you use your compatible Android device with Pioneer's SPH-DA100 AppRadio 2 and other select Pioneer multimedia receivers. Once connected, you'll be able to display and control compatible Android apps on the receiver's touchscreen using Pioneer's Advanced App Mode. Pioneer includes a variety of cables and adapters to connect your compatible Android to your receiver. In every case, the digital connections ensure the best audio and video quality, and let you charge your device when it's connected. Warranty: 1 year. Why would I need an iPod® adapter? An iPod adapter allows you to connect your iPod to your car stereo, then access your playlists with your stereo's controls - a great idea for several reasons. One, you can scroll through your song titles on your stereo's larger display, instead of squinting down at your iPod. Two, you can route the adapter cable to your glove compartment or center console, so your iPod stays safely out of sight. Three, the iPod adapter keeps your iPod fully charged, so it's ready to rock when you leave your car. And last of all, some adapters bypass your iPod's internal digital-to-analog converter, using your stereo's superior DAC to turn your files back into music.

I just used the usb charging cable that came with my phone. Free and works the same. 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer CD-AH200C Written By Anonymous, Uvalde, Texas on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good product but a little pricey, and I think it should have come with the stereo. Was this review helpful? Yes No Pricy Written By Hai, Bellevue, WA on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) it cost a bit too much for what it does, and it does not support Nexus 4. Pros: if you just don't want to play the guessing game to get your phone working, this one will save you a lot of time. Was this review helpful? Yes No Too many unnecessary parts for me Written By John M, Lynnwood, WA on Thursday, August 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased a Pioneer AppRadio 3, SPH-DA210 and was told that I needed this kit to connect it to my Motorola Razr Maxx. All that was needed were HDMI and USB cables. Nothing else in the box was needed. I'm quite sure that I could have saved a few bucks had I known. Pros: The cables that I actually needed are working Cons: Too many extra parts in the box. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A bit Pricey Samsung Owners Beware Written By tek112, Philadelphia on Thursday, August 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are just plain jane cables. This kit comes with a 5V power supply that outputs USB to micro USB. Then there is a MHL adapter that goes from HDMI to a 5pin micro USB connection. This is where it gets hairy. The newer Samsung phones (Galaxy Note 2 / S4) require an 11 pin MHL adapter to function. You can buy the adapter or just buy the official Samsung 2.0 MHL adapter to replace the unit in the box. Again, a DIY would cost lots less. I feel the package here is overpriced and not fully compatible. Pros: Solid construction. All part needed are there with exception of phones that require 11 pin MHL connections. Cons: Too much money. I know they build support into the price, but they shouldn't for cables. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Works as it should Written By JoshP, Springfield, MA on Monday, May 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This much for an MHL adapter is crazy, but once again Crutchfield saves the day and includes this product free with appradio2 purchase. Lots of people report issues with cheaper mhl adapters, but there are no problems with this official kit. includes everything you need for an android phone, but again Pioneer should've included it with the unit to begin with Pros: works. it's a cable thats all it needs to do Cons: Theres alot of cable. 6' hdmi, 6' of usb, powersource box. luckily my subaru had a ton of space behind the radio, others may not be as lucky 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer CD-AH200C Written By David M, Cumberland Va on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A cable connection kit for android phones, not much to it really. Does include both the mhl and hdmi connections needed, and installing was pretty straight forward. Pros: Gets the job done Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer CD-AH200C Written By Anonymous, Harker Heights, TX on Tuesday, April 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great Product! Was this review helpful?

Samantha Martin has known what she's wanted to do with her life since she was 7 and began working toward the goal when she was 10.
It all started with the command, "Sit."
"I wanted to be an animal trainer," said Martin, a Chicago resident.
After training the family dog, she moved on to training rats when she was 16, then earned an animal services degree in college and worked various animal-related jobs, from groomer (which she said she just didn't have the knack for) to veterinarian technician (again, it didn't take) to working in a pet shop and at an animal shelter.
Animal training was where she excelled and what she enjoyed the most.
Martin wanted to segue her skills into training animals to work in film and television.
Instead, she ran away and joined the circus.
From Luna a star is born
About 10 years ago, Martin's neighbor asked her for a favor.
Could Martin watch her cat, Luna, while the neighbor went back home to Poland for a little while?
Martin agreed, not knowing Luna was pregnant.
The neighbor never returned from Poland, and Martin was left with a litter of beautiful white kittens, one of which was quickly named Tuna. The others were adopted.
"Tuna was born, and I discovered that she was kind of a genius," Martin said. "She is a workaholic who wanted to learn at an early age."
She played a "killer cat" in a film when she was 9 months old, Martin said.
Meanwhile, Martin was part of a wildlife education show, Festival of Cultures, that traveled around the Chicago area, introducing school children to different animals and traditions from around the globe.
During her down time, Martin entertained herself and kept the cats busy by training them and teaching them little tricks, like playing the piano.
"Piano is easy to teach to animals," Martin said.
Soon enough, people would be walking by and catch a glimpse of the cat band.
"Hey, wanna see something cool?" Martin would ask, and the band would start playing.
New gig
When the Festival of Cultures started winding down, Martin knew that she enjoyed traveling and working with cats.
She ditched the wildlife and focused on training felines.
The cats learned to jump hurdles, walk a high wire, ride a skateboard.
"All the tricks are based on things that the cats do on their own," Martin said. "They are my pets; they aren't caged animals that I'll pull out to perform. I know them. ... Some are good climbers; some are nosy. I use their natural ability and behaviors, and find a cute trick to go with that."
They were brilliant while performing at Martin's home — it was their home too, a natural environment where they were comfortable and not distracted.
Their first show, a gig Martin found on craigslist.com for an art gallery opening looking for off-beat acts, was "a huge failure," Martin said. "They finally settled down and did some tricks."
The act must have caught someone's eye, though, because Martin booked another art gallery show.
"It kind of took off from there," said Martin, who will bring her Amazing Acro-Cats and the Rock Cats show to the Port Tobacco Theater in La Plata May 3 through 5.
Martin and her Amazing Acro-Cats started performing at pet expos and conventions, and she soon was searching for venues to and from the expo locations to stage shows.
"We took the plunge and rented the first theater. The shows got bigger and better," Martin said. "We were really on to something."
Christy Bell, a booking agent who works with Martin, said the show has a following.
"If people know about this, they come to see it," Bell said.
About four years ago, Martin took on the task of rescuing and fostering cats and kittens, taking care of 106 of them over the years, training them to do cute little tricks, helping to find them a "forever home."
She is taking care of three kittens now that may be available for adoption during the La Plata visit, and a portion of the ticket sales will be donated to the Humane Society of Charles County.
Rescuing, fostering and adopting kittens and cats was a great addition to the Amazing Acro-Cats shows, Bell said.
"It is a natural evolution," she said. "It makes so much sense."
Twitter talk
As the popularity of the shows and the reputation of the performers grow, two of the cats — Tuna and Buggles — have started Twitter accounts and have engaged in a Twitter war with each other.
Tuna bashes Buggles, who is busy working on a time machine that currently only goes back 30 seconds.
The Rock Cats also have a fan page on Facebook.
There are only four cat circuses in the country, said Martin, who is embarking on a tour of the East Coast.
"My show is loosely run, the cats run the show," she said. "It's cats being cats. They do amazing things while they're being cats."
Martin hasn't abandoned training animals for film and television; her cats have been featured in Tidy Cats and Purina ads, but the road show is keeping her busy.
"I always knew I'd be working with animals," she said. "I really like it. It's like being in a weird snow globe."

At the end of this greatest series came the greatest goal - Paul Henderson's game-winner with less than a minute to play. It is a legendary moment in hockey history, and an image that every Canadian recognizes with pride instantly. Thanks to Denis Brodeur's classic photograph, that image of pure joy and national pride is now available for your wall!
Published in 1997 as part of the 25th anniversary celebration, "The Goal" has all the elements of a great poster - simple design, crystal-clear printing, and a great photograph. The emotion on the faces of Henderson, the Russian player to the right, and the fans in the stands, are priceless. A must for the wall of any true hockey fan!

Saturdays are typically a noisy night in Music City, but tonight, a different, soulful sound was ringing out of Municipal Auditorium just a few blocks from the Lower Broadway bars.
The occasion was the 29th annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards, a concert event televised live on UP TV honoring the best in modern gospel music. Nashville has hosted the show since 2006, but it moved to Municipal from the Grand Ole Opry House for the first time this year.
It was a career-defining night for gospel singer and film/TV star Tamela Mann, who was named artist of the year and was the show's top winner with seven awards, including female vocalist and CD of the year. Mann, 47, has been singing since childhood, but released her solo debut in 2005.
Mann took the podium exclaiming "Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus."

Pi End Table
by Blu Dot
At A Glance:
Radiating from an open triangular junction in the center of the table, the Pi End Table's solid walnut base encloses three slices of powder-coated steel. It's an appealing combination, with the triangle junction being repeated on the bottom of the base. We're not sure if the name derives from the "slice" appearance of the table surface or the mathematical ratio of circumference to diameter. Either way, it looks cool. Grab a piece of the Pi for yourself (we couldn't resist).
What's To Like:
It's the best of both worlds - a side table that features the look and feel of wood and the impervious nature of steel. The slate-grey top is ready to hold your drinks without worry of moisture staining it. And this round table won't get in your way, either, since it's got no corners to run into.
What's Not to Like:
You'll only be able to dislike the Pi End Table if you're expecting something else. Want an all-wood table? Pi features steel too. Want a square table? Sorry, this isn't it. At least you know what you're dealing with right off the bat with Pi.
The Bottom Line:
A creative fusion of elements, the Pi End Table is sturdy, sized for most living rooms, and looks like a much more expensive side table.

Hey guys,
Earlier I posted on the Discussion Forum that I have retired as our company has folded due to the economy. That doesn't mean I have retired from welding..... quite the contrary. Being laid-off for a year & a half was kind of a blessing in disguise as my home shop has been busy with repairs & fabbing new crafts. At 66, I don't have the wind, pi$$, & vinegar that I had 30 yrs ago, but I have been able to keep up with the demand for services.
My brother builds race engines for the local drag racers & got me a season pass to take my mobile unit there to do any "fixin" that may need done. I found quite a market for accessories that most of the race guys send away for. I made a list to start estimating material/labor costs to start making some of the items that are good sellers. I started these because of requests & some cost-savings & looks like they're going to do well as well as my profit margin. The first (2) pics are an easy-build aluminum wheel chock & the 3rd pic are the engine lift plates I made with heavier material than those selling in the catalogs. I'll start posting other projects as I make them if there is a demand.

Asifa fired.
Share your views on the state of the Animation Industry.
Re: Asifa fired.
Bite just struck a nerve! I think Snakebite also just explained my reason for skipping last night's Emmys telecast . . .
Re: Asifa fired.
I think animation awards such as the Annies are definitely a worthwhile thing. Awards are fun, or at least they're supposed to be, and they're a recognition and confirmation that is needed and appreciated.
My particular issue with the revisions involving Annie Award voting is that I don't see these changes as a solution to the problem. I see it as making the problem worse. If studio employees are stacking the voting for their own films, then eliminating the voting members who can give the award voting process some balance will only exacerbate the situation. Unless ASIFA blocks professionals from voting on their own projects, maybe that will help, but prohibiting students, educators and serious fans from voting is just plain wrong. That's how I feel about it all.
I decided to pass up registering to vote for the Annies this year. I think the deadline is tomorrow to submit for voting consideration. I don't know if I would qualify anyway. I'm also considering giving up my ASIFA-Hollywood membership. I see no value to it anymore. I'm tired of supporting an organization that gives virtually no support to AN. Their basic fee of $75 can be better utilized, especially in this economy. I used to pay more than this. I would always renew my membership at the premium rate, but ASIFA killed the goodwill I had for the group.
By the way paburrows, several years ago we did have the beginnings of our own awards here at AN. They were called the Uncle Awards and there was much promise to what they were about. It was the idea of one of our members, but during the second year as we were getting ready for a follow up, he got upset over the way it was being handled and reacted with hostility on the forums. This was something that could've been worked out, but enthusiasm died for the awards after this unnecessary display of attitude. A little less of it and a little more willingness to work towards resolving the issue and who knows where we'd be with it today.
Re: Asifa fired.
I reiterate, voting, not voting . . . not why I joined ASIFA, and that's not a factor in my decision to remain with ASIFA.
Unless the organization does something wayyyyy out of league (like support a terrorist organization or something), I will continue to support ASIFA however I can. In addition, I may even make a monetary donation to the Archive, something I haven't done in quite a while.
As Bite said, create and be the change. I'ma continue creating and building my brand, and empowering myself so I can soon be in a position to help other artists do the same.
Re: Asifa fired.
Awards aren't the problem, I guess its how the award is perceived...why can't an award mean everyone who has produced content in said year get an award and acknowledge equally.
Winning, losing? I just don't follow. If you produce, you win! period.
Select group? how do you do that? I mean, look at our government. they're supposedly elected through the "most efficient" democracy. And look what we get.
ASIFA shouldn't be in the business of putting on award shows where they're are winners or losers. They should support the medium of animation.
"What is ASIFA-Hollywood?
The International Animated Film Society, ASIFA-Hollywood is a California non profit organization established over thirty five years ago to promote and encourage the art and craft of animation. To achieve this purpose, ASIFA-Hollywood is dedicated to striving for the following goals:
* Support and encourage animation education
* Support the preservation and critical evaluation of animation industry
* Recognize achievement of excellence in the art and field of animation
* Increase the public awareness about animation
* Act as a liaison to encourage the free exchange of ideas within the animation community
* Encourage journalism documenting current trends and activities in animation
* Encourage the social interaction of professional and non-professional animation enthusiasts
* Encourage the development and expression of all forms of animation"
To then have something like an AWARD show as the first thing they support to promote their mission seems silly to me. I wonder if they consider that " * Recognize achievement of excellence in the art and field of animation"???
But then again, the only art I see on their site is big studio based...so what do I really expect..in all honesty, not much. I haven't for a long time..and not in a bad way.lol
So again, why not just change how the award shows are handled all together. make it have different intent. Besides, the word AWARD can mean so much more. Not just about a winner and losers, or even the best. That all seems one demensional.
Re: Asifa fired.
PABurrows is right. AN should have it's own awards. AN is now an established part of animation history and the global animation community at large. The sheer talent that has graced these pages at AN is astronomical from animation to anime to comics and fine art.
Getting a nod from AN should be a big feather in anyone's cap. I think we mentioned an awards venue from AN years ago but now the time is right and good for PABurrows for bringing it up.
From what I know about awards venues, you set them up much like non-profits if you're going to spend good money on a black tie type of event and get sponsors. If not, just simple certificates or statuettes or something don't cost alot. It's basically a matter of formality. I've won lots of awards online but all they send you is a logo or certificate and they link to your sites. I won an award last week as a matter of fact for a UFO based blog of mine.
Winning anything looks good on a resume' and college submission form. If you want to give away prizes like money or stuff like computers etc. you just submit a proposal to such manufacturers that sponsor the event. They would love to see their brand name on YouTube or on websites, it's free advertising and they right the cost of the prizes off.
Re: Asifa fired.
We had our own awards Greg but as I explained earlier, contentious attitudes killed them. I lost interest in pursuing it as a result and I'm not enthusiastic about doing it again, although that could change if someone helped in organizing something along these lines. I don't have the time for it nor the inclination. I'd much rather direct energy and resources towards creative endeavors.
I read what Snakebite posted in regards to ASIFA-Hollywood's mission statement and I find several aspects of it to be patently hypocritical when it comes to AN and the experiences we've had with the organization in recent years. It's funny cuz their mission statement claims more than once that they operate in "support" and also "encourage", but we've seen little of that when it comes to AN. It seems that ASIFA-Hollywood picks and chooses what they want to support and/or encourage when it comes to the industry. They're done plenty of soliciting for support and encouragement over the years. Even through AN. We've always been here to help, but the relationship is so one sided and ass backwards it makes no sense for us anymore.
Anyway, I hope ASIFA-Hollywood, especially their entrenched yet objective and balanced board of directors, continues to support and encourage all aspects of the industry. Good luck to them.
Re: Asifa fired.
I feel like i have those special glasses from THEY LIVE...like, I can see the words they are using, but I can see the real message behind the usage.
It's all PR, stands for practically real...lol, real enough for people to buy it..."HEY, we're the happy talk people, as long as we spit it you believe it." BLA
it seems to work for them...or is it? can't forever. people will tend to find out the real. It's not hard.
Again, they should just do what they say they're gonna do and get out of the artists way.
and I wouldn't want any part of an AN Awards show if it involves winners and losers. Thats dinosaur talk IM not so HO...
We have rewards to being apart of AN. Not awards.
We reward you if you create and participate. Every month. You wanna support somethin??? support that. Even the food is affordable and it helps us keep rewarding you.
...and maybe the word "reward" is arrogant too..maybe I shouldn't even use that word...award suggests, hey you impressed us judges, BLA, reward suggests we did something for you because you did something for us. BLA
its symbiotic. no one is doing anyone else a favor. You do yourself a favor by doing you and participating with each other on an equal level.
the mentality in our industry is dying thank god. The new generation is proactive and positive, supporting and understanding what it takes to make anything happen...even if others don't vibe with it. Who are any of us to say who should win or should lose?
its not a sport.
AN provides a platform for anyone who creates and participate.
so no awards...or even rewards...howa bout support and promotion..hey, thats what we do. We support and promote...and everyone who does this on AN also creates...wow, what a concept.
Sorry if that ended sarcastic. I'm doing my best to let go of that. but it's hard in the face of such an issue.
Again, I can see why Award shows are popular. It's nice to get a nod for a job well done...but if we just did that in our regular every day lives then we wouldn't need it in the shape of some falic symbol of status once year determined by people who are judging you....lol, well, some people pay for that sht so who am I...to judge.lol
Re: Asifa fired.
I don't and never did see AN as a contest or a competitor in any way with ASIFA-Hollywood. I've never had a problem in supporting or promoting the interests of the organization. I was happy to do it and I still do it.
Over the years, members of ASIFA's board dampened my enthusiasm until last March when they killed it for good.
Some of you know the funky bs that's gone on. It came to a peak with the commentary I published last year on the old forums, the infamous "Why do we take orders from people who can't draw" thread. Personal accusations happened as a result of some people on ASIFA's board and others who took what I wrote out of context and made a huge controversy out of it. Specifically, I was accused of personally attacking Antran Manoogian, ASIFA-Hollywood's long time president and long time friend of mine.
So in an effort to put an end to this silliness, I went to an ASIFA-Hollywood board meeting in Burbank and said what I had to say, which was mostly an apology.
During the part of the meeting where I was permitted to address the board, I mentioned that ASIFA-Hollywood has had an open account on AN for years but hadn't been used in a very long time. I suggested that if they weren't going to utilize it, to allow me to put it to good use by posting the announcements that come in from the organization. I've been doing it all this time under my name, why not do it under ASIFA's name. I'll put a banner link to them on the account and it will help promote the group further.
Keep in mind that I paid my annual $75 renewal fee that night at the meeting. A month early. So what else can I do to show positive support?
I received an email from Antran a day of two later, fairly formal in its content and tone, that the board of ASIFA-Hollywood decided that there would be a conflict for me to post announcements, the ones they publicly send out that are cleared for general viewing, on AN using the ASIFA account.
A long time member in good standing and strong supporter of ASIFA-Hollywood posting announcements using the stagnant ASIFA account on AN, is a potential conflict?
That's what broke it for me. There's been other things, too ridiculous to relate in public, but after I got that email, and appealed the decision with some common sense in my reply to Antran to no avail, I felt enough was enough.
Life's too short and there's a big world out there. No reason to waste time and energy on this kind of thing.
I find the only real purity in animation is the art. Everything else is sullied in one way or another. Even awards at times. Whether it's ego or attitude or what have you, only the art is pure, and that's what I choose to focus on.
I really miss the old days of ASIFA-Hollywood when they were on Victory Boulevard in Burbank. Before this Annie Award stuff took over. It was nice people all the time. Jean Wright, other pleasant ladies at the desk. It's different now and although I admire and respect what they've accomplished and how it's grown, I can't help but express my disappointment in what this has all become.
Anyway, such is life.
Re: Asifa fired.
Still, I think disney will have there foot in the door as a backup plan. You know, just in case.
Re: Asifa fired.
Well, I think in this situation, Disney's foot is more along the lines of up the proverbial buttocks as well as in the door, but I'm confident that in time, they'll return to Annie Award sponsorship and everything will be wonderful again.
Re: Asifa fired.
Looks like ASIFA is having a hard time getting people to vote since their extending the deadline. I recieved this e-mail since I'm not bothering to vote.
Dear ASIFA-Hollywood Member,

If denied, you will be given an additional 30 days to appeal and provide sufficient proof of eligibility. Your eligibility status will also be available on your on-line profile page after it is reviewed.
We encourage you to apply for any of the categories in which you have credits or other verifiable recognition of your experience or expertise. If you are not sure if you qualify in a particular category, please apply and clearly explain your experience.
To begin the process, please log onto the updated website for ASIFA-Hollywood at www.asifa-hollywood.org. Your login name is your email address.

Your status will be emailed to you after the qualification committee reviews your application.
Your application and your vote will help recognize excellence amongst your fellow artists and bring greater recognition to our art form.
Thank you.
Re: Asifa fired.
I received the same email Paul. I'm not bothering to submit a request to vote for the Annies either. ASIFA-Hollywood is soliciting us to submit an application to vote, which will be reviewed and then a decision will be made as to whether we're eligible or not. Then we have a 30 day period whereby we can appeal their decision if we're deemed unqualified. Ridiculous.
I also got an announcement about submitting works for Annie consideration which I would normally post on the forums on behalf of ASIFA-Hollywood. They can register here and do it themselves if they want.
Maintaining a perpetually one sided relationship with this organization is nonsense.
Re: Asifa fired.
Yeah I'm wondering who are they to decide who is professional or not? Reguardless of whiether they can draw or not who among them have made a movie or worked in one of those positions?
Re: Asifa fired.
I've got a great solution for Disney. They should simply buy ASIFA the same way they buy everything else. Then they could run the organization their way.
This will probably sound harsh, but most of us already know that award shows are B.S. It's simply a party that allows all of us to pat each other on the back and make fun speeches. Nothing wrong with that. I've always enjoyed a good party.
As usual, Disney is being silly. Walt would slap all of you upside the head if he were here.
Re: Asifa fired.
So refreshing to hear this from a guy who should be given every award there is for everything you gave to animation.
I can't be that blunt about award shows, even if some do feel like an overlong backslapping demonstration. It's a great feeling to be recognized every now and then for excellence by your peers. The big problem is that animation pros are still, compared to other industries, relatively unheralded for their work.
Re: Asifa fired.
Wow. I'm a bit late to this party; sorry. Been busy teaching my tail off. This is so ridiculous. I don't even know where to start. I've been an ASIFA-Hollywood member since 1984 -- when I was still struggling, getting a little freelance, working at the mall, about to start at that new place called Film Roman...I watched Antran work his tail off to make it what it is today...and this is the thanks that he and those of us who have been there since we were "just a fan" get from Disney. Mr. Fun is right -- Walt would think the whole thing's stupid and petty -- on the part of his company. So we've gotten prestigious -- the execs genuinely care what we think about animated films -- they genuinely care about this award, and they want to take voting priveledges away from our fans and students. I think Antran ought to go back to the old way of doig things if that's the way Disney's going to be about it. Grr. So irritating....!

The St. Mary�s County commissioners are formally asking for state authority to deal locally with nuisance properties through a property maintenance ordinance.
The commissioners forwarded its package of new law proposals to state lawmakers on Tuesday for consideration in the next session of the Maryland General Assembly.
In those proposals, the county seeks authority to identify a nuisance property, allow the owner to abate the nuisance or do the work itself and place a lien on the property to cover the cost.
At a recent meeting between the commissioners and state legislators, Sen. Roy Dyson (D-St. Mary�s, Calvert, Charles), expressed concerns about the measure.
Four of the commissioners approved the request. �We need to do something,� said Commissioner Dan Morris (R). Commissioner Larry Jarboe (R) opposed the request.
Under the proposal, a nuisance property could be defined as �reasonably determined to be detrimental to the health, safety, welfare or morals of neighboring properties or their occupants.�
An actual county ordinance would be drawn up if the legislature approves the local authority.
In other proposals, the commissioners, on a 4-1 vote, are asking the state to make an exemption from new septic regulations for farmstead properties. In certain rural areas, some large properties would be limited to seven homes on septic systems under the new rules. The commissioners are asking to exempt 15-acre farmsteads from the state law. Commission President Jack Russell (D) said no to the request.
Three of the commissioners turned down a proposal to waive connection requirements to new adjacent central water and sewer lines as defined in several areas of county law.
A work group has been formed to study the issue. Commissioners Cindy Jones (R), Todd Morgan (R) and Russell agreed to let the group do its work first. Jarboe and Morris disagreed. Morris said of the connection requirements, �I think it�s a blatant disregard for property rights,� when there is already a perfectly good well or septic system.
Four of the commissioners agreed to ask for borrowing authority of $30 million in possible future building projects. Jarboe said no.
Three of the commissioners are asking to change the building impact fee charged on smaller homes. Currently all new homes pay $4,500, to help cover the cost of new schools, roads and parks, though fiscal analysis over the years has shown the fee does not come close to covering those actual costs. The fee has not been changed since 2000.
Russell and Morgan said no to the request. �The impact fee we have now is not adequate,� Russell said.
For those who build smaller homes, �They�re being discriminated against on a cost basis,� Jarboe said. With everyone paying the $4,500 fee, larger homes pay less per square foot, he said.

Re: 8bit Bowser and Mario Animation
Really enjoyed the sound design of it, and it's a simple idea but a nice display of what you can do with Flash
As the above user posted, perhaps adding some flames to Mario's pants could add a bit of dynamism to it, just an idea to keep for next time.
Overall though it's a neat bit of work, keep going!
Re: 8bit Bowser and Mario Animation
I agree, I want to see more of what you can do here.

Beautiful Italian art and architecture!!
I just love Italian art and architecture, but I may never get to go there in person (I hope to someday though!!). But, I love that I can see it like this on the internet! Just hold down the left mouse button and move around the room. You can move in and out also. It's almost, but not quite, as good as being there. It will have to do for me for now! Hope you all enjoy them as much as I did:
Re: Beautiful Italian art and architecture!!
Those are great links, thanks John. I was at the Vatican Museum in the 90s and I'll never forget the experience. When I got to the Sistine Chapel, I was awestruck. As it turned out, the only spot that was the center of the floor. The visitors were congregating closer to the walls. So for around 20 minutes I stood in the center of the Sistine Chapel, right below where God and Adam are touching fingers. I thought to myself, this is my moment in the history of this place. At this juncture of time and space, it is my fortunate destiny to be standing here in the heart of the Sistine Chapel, with a space all my own, to wonder at the marvel of this great work.
The link you posted took me right back to that moment.
Something else I'd like to mention as a result of what I saw. I remember when there was a big controversy about cleaning the frescoes, getting rid of centuries of soot and grime. Some people thought that Michelangelo purposely tinted his paintings and it was his intention to mute the colors. After seeing the Sistine Chapel for myself, I can say with certainty as far as my opinion goes, that this was not the case. From everything else I saw at the Vatican Museum, it looked to me that his frescoes started a trend of ceiling paintings. They were all over the place following the Chapel, and everything was in brilliant color.

NH: Breaking Ground for Bitcoin
Says NH Magazine: "New Hampshire is out in front again — this time in a 'revolution' in how we pay for things. And helping to lead the change is Manchester resident Zach Harvey. Two years ago, he and his brother Josh created an ATM for Bitcoin, an increasingly accepted alternative currency that is strictly digital." Brothers Zach and Josh Harvey are FSP early movers. Check out this interview with Zach produced by other early movers for the "It's Like This Too" series for Voices of Liberty. The New Yorker covered Zach and the Bitcoin ATM last year during the FSP's winter conference Liberty Forum. More...
Cryptocurrency Featured at Liberty Forum
The Free State Project (FSP) announced recently an exclusive partnership with Milford-based cryptocurrency startup ziftrCOIN for FSP's annual Liberty Forum event that takes place March 5-8 in Manchester.
ziftrCOIN is an innovative new altcoin designed to bring on board the next 10 million cryptocurrency users. Ziftr, the company behind ziftrCOIN, has designed a suite of tools to make cryptocurrency highly accessible and easily adoptable for both consumers and merchants. These tools include ziftrPAY, a secure API that enables merchants to accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, ziftrCOIN and other popular altcoins in addition to credit cards; ziftrWALLET, a multicoin digital wallet, and ziftrSHOP, an online marketplace where consumers can shop their favorite online merchants and pay using cryptocurrency or credit cards. Each ziftrCOIN will have a $1 minimum redemption value when spent within Ziftr's retailer network. More...
Early Mover Inspires Ska-Punk Band
California-based ska band Warehouse One released a new track called "Victimless Crime Spree." In a tweet, the band says: "Title stolen from/inspired by @derrickjme." Derrick J is an FSP early mover who starred in the embedded documentary about his activism in Keene, NH. Whether you love the movie or not, Derrick's actions and film inspired others to make protest art, and this is a good thing. As Aldous Huxley, author of A Brave New World, states at the start of "Derrick J's Victimless Crime Spree": "The... creative life of man is ultimately impossible without a considerable measure of individual freedom." To listen to Warehouse One's new track, which calls out the emerging police state (NSFW), and to read more, visit The Free Thought Project.
Packing Heat: Not Just for Men
There is a growing trend in New Hampshire: More women are learning to shoot and arming themselves. "When the government started talking about gun control," said Dan Gebers, president of the Major Waldron Sportsmen's Association and a Dover police officer, "There was a major influx in [female] membership, young and old." Several FSP early movers, and founding members of the Women's Defense League of New Hampshire, are quoted in the Seacoast Online article. Photo credit: Foster's Daily Democrat front page. (They ran a story about this trend over the weekend as well.)
Uber City: Portsmouth, NH
In an unprecedented move, the taxi commission for Portsmouth, NH, voted unanimously to ask the City Council to eliminate all taxi medallions and end city inspections and the regulation of taxi fares in order to level the playing field between regulated taxis and Uber rides. Said Lt. Chris Cummings, the Portsmouth Police Department's liaison with the Taxi Commission: "I guess it's going to come down to what consumers want to do." Indeed.

Bitcoin for Taxes and Fees? Only in NH
New Hampshire is known as a libertarian hot spot, and the Bitcoin community here is strong. Read about the rich connections between Bitcoin and the Free State Project here. Now, Republican Representative Eric Schleien has introduced a bill, with bipartisan support, that would mandate the state treasurer to "develop an implementation plan for the state to accept bitcoin as payment for taxes and fees [by 2017]." Read more about the proposed bill at PanAm Post. Full text of bill. Photo credit: Bitcoin Magazine
Police Body Cam Bill Introduced
NH leads the charge again. This time, a new bill that will require state police officers to wear and use cameras during interactions with the public. Says the bill's prime sponsor, Rep. Kyle Tasker: "As much as I like police accountability, this is more about re-establishing that trust. Instead of having a 'he said, she said' situation, you have a neutral, very objective witness to what goes on." Read more at the Concord Monitor.
FreeCoast Festival 2014 Highlights

NH Proposes Bill to End Police Militarization
In NH, folks don't just complain about police militarization, they do something about it. Over the past few years, in several towns across the state, concerned NH residents have fought the acquisition of BEARCATS, garnering national and international media attention in the process. Now, once again, NH leads the charge with a bipartisan bill aimed at stopping local police from receiving military grade weapons. Want to be part of the solution? Join the FSP! More...

NH #1 Again
From Politico: "With this in mind, Politico Magazine rounded up 14 different state rankings from reputable sources like the Census Bureau, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the FBI, and on important factors such as high school graduation rates, per capita income, life expectancy and crime rate. Then we averaged out each state's 14 rankings to come up with a master list—atop which sits none other than New Hampshire" (in 2015, sharing this with Minnesota). Read more...

Where Else Would This Happen?
Portsmouth, NH, one of the more left-leaning towns, makes a surprise move, once again proving New Hampshire is in a class of its own when it comes to increasing liberty. The short version: Cabbies complain that Uber is unfair because it doesn't have to follow the same rules they do. So the Portsmouth Taxi Commission votes to eliminate all regulations and disband itself. Check mate, special interests! Where else would this happen? Join the Free State Project, come to Liberty Forum, then move. It's your best chance at "Liberty in Our Lifetime."

ItsLikeThisToo - Ep 11 - William Kostric
William Kostric believes the most important thing he has contributed to since moving to NH in 2008 is a community activist center known as The Quill.
According to William, while there are activist pockets throughout the country, none compare to the community present in New Hampshire - which is why he's still here, six and a half years after moving with the intention of checking out the Free State Project before leaving the country. William's advice to someone planning to move to NH is to make the move as soon as possible--why wait? In this episode, William also discusses an open carry event that took place in Portsmouth, NH, in 2009.

Critical Mass of Libertarians
Interesting Bloomberg article about Rand Paul's recent trip to NH. The FSP is covered:"For most of the past decade, the state has attracted new libertarian-minded immigrants from other states, and elected new libertarian-minded legislators. They're often the same people. The Free State Project, an effort to attract a critical mass of libertarians to one state and steer its life and politics, was organizing in New Hampshire long before Ron Paul ran for president. When Paul ran in 2008 and 2012, he grew a passionate base of volunteers.
'They were pretty symbiotic,' says Jason Sorens, the young Yale academic (now a professor at Dartmouth, fittingly) who dreamed up the Free State concept in 2001. 'The Free Staters went from 500 to 1200 in the space of a couple of years, and there was a big boost to us from the Ron Paul movement.'
How big a boost?" Read more at Bloomberg. Photo credit: Griffin Hammond for Bloomberg Politics

(Update from 4-22-08: I'd forgotten that I mentioned the gas heater on here. Last fall the gas tank and heater were removed, and a ceramic heater was built in. It works great, although not quite as fast, and doesn't use gas.)
However, air conditioning is trickier because the shaft of an electric motor doesn't always spin. Some have used a compressor driven by the motor shaft anyway, while others have turned a compressor using a separate motor. Finally, my dad came up with part of the concept for this system. It pumps ice water through an evaporator core, which has fans that blow air through it. It is very simple, but we found what we were looking for at Sporty's Pilot Shop. They sell air conditioners built into ice chests for prices ranging from $475 for a basic model to $625 for a 24V, dual fan model.There is also an ArcticAir unit for $4750 with a full compressor unit. However, we like our $10 version better. I saw the ArcticAir display at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this summer, and our unit is more compact and puts out cooler air. All you need is materials, basic construction/assembly and wiring skills, and a bag of ice. Let's go!
Update, 5-12-08: 100,003 views! Yay! I'm no Kipkay, but I'm still proud.
Dry Ice Dangerous!!! pls dont use for home DIY air condition....
have you ever heard of punctuation you know the periods commas and capital letters it makes you look so much more legit litter you know able to read and write
I'm glad to see that another person built one, and even more so because it's in the application that KoolerAire was trying to gyp $500 for.
My air conditioner is in a helicopter! Yay!
I am in the process of building this cooler-- so far so good. I am using 2 120mm cooling fans but they have very small caliber wiring that uses a 3-pin connector. How do I connect those to my bare wire bilge pump and my cigarette lighter plug power source. Thanks.
hey guys here is blog on how to build an A.C. stepwise explained. it is low cost and free of danger. http://blogforeverythingyouwant.blogspot.com/
I just ordered all of the materials for this project. I have read about both methods of placing the fans. Can anyone tell me as to which method actually works best? Blowing air out of the cooler or sucking air from outside?
I just got all my materials for this, too, and was wondering the same thing. I think I'm going to put a dryer vent on the top that can twist in either direction and have the fans pulling in air from the outside. It seems like there would be less evaporation to ware out the fans this way. Let me know what you ended up doing, please! I'm curious :)
This does work but why not simplify it, 2 holes, 1 fan, and just a cooler full of ice works 100% the same.
★★ Signature: ™ 007 Hiding Car & Motorcycle License Plate Gadget ™★★
So I'm going to make one of these for two reasons, one because my room has a lot of computers and electronics in it and it's on the west side of the house so it gets stinking hot in summer (Down here in Australia the sucks) and also because the aircon in my car is broken and I'm too cheap to get it fixed. My question is, wouldn't you be able to put the heater core and the fans outside the esky (Cooler to you guys) with the hoses running in, that way having the unit where the water is completely sealed? I'm clumsy and I don't want water going all though my room, also the road where I live is rough and my ute has really hard suspension so the ride is shocking (No Pun intended) Just a thought, it should work right?
another thought, you could use a blower fan that cars used to push the air, it'll move a lot more air and cool the place down quicker
Desert coolers is what they are called in some parts of the world
Quick Question:
Would it matter if we use a container other than an ice box? I mean we are venting out air at a fairly quick pace. I don't mind portability as I am planning to use it in a room. Pls do reply,
I think plasticbaldy was referring to some other person's comment. Don't worry mate, I find your English perfect! So is your project
Um, you are using fans and coolant. Wouldn't it be more efficient to just use a refrigeration system? Instead of buying ice, which takes a lot of energy to make, you could use a normal refrigerant based unit. That way, you never have to replace the coolant. You know, a fan, a condenser, a heat exchanger, etc... Seems like you are doing something here that uses the same amount of energy to cool air as other things that cool air way more efficiently.
If you're going to do that, then you may as well buy an aftermarket cooling unit and have it installed in your vehicle. Not exactly portable though - can't take it from one vehicle to another (or use it in your plane or copter or tent for that matter).
I think it's a little unfair to say it's cheap, when you have half the products "on-hand/used" but I will build this and you did give me an idea. I'm sure someone in my large family might have some of the parts to make this an easy build.
Would it be worth while to build this into something like a zeer pot
refrigerator thing? You mentioned that the air was drier in the truck
after running a bit, and since the zeer pot functions on evaporation
concept, I was wondering if that would help the ice to last longer and
the whole thing cool longer?

tom_fl... please re-read the instructable. It states you need to leave the top open a litle to vent (the author said he flipped back the handle and that worked fine) I made this unit once for fun out of scrap parts and I drilled a 1 inch hole close to the top on the side of the cooler and was able to cover it with some plastic mesh and glue to allow air in and keep critters out and keep the lid closed! Worked great!
Here is a use for this super cool idea that few people will have .... my father (78 years young) has a 1964 Combine he uses every year around July. He is harvesting fescue seeds. Combines are VERY expensive and it doesn't make sense to purchase a new one for the small amount of harvest that he has. There is no AC in this huge machine and there is only one large window. This is the perfect solution! Thank you from a eighth generation farmer!
This is a pretty cool idea. I have a couple of suggestions. The first is you could use Blue Ice blocks instead of ice cubes. Get ones that will fit inside the cooler and have enough so one set can be freezing while the other is in use. The second is those cheap floor vent deflectors to direct the air more horizontally. You could screw a couple of pieces of flat steel onto the lid at each end of the fans and use the magnets on the deflector to attach it to the steel.
I live in hurricane country, and freezing salt water in gallon jugs keeps my coolers nice and frosty for a long, long time. I don't have the mess of melting ice from the store, either, and of course, it is completely recyclable! When it thaws, just freeze it again! I'd love to have one of these cooler units like yours (if I could get hubby to build it - I'm disabled and can't do it) to use overnight in one bedroom when we have a hurricane and lose power for a week.
And agritzmacher has a point - how do you think electric cars are charged?
The raw materials and manufacture of Prius batteries requires 10,000 miles of transport, literally across the world: http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/car-driving/9345/A-Prius-Causes-More-Pollution-than-a-Hummer
Virtually all CFL bulbs - which we will be required to buy soon - are made in Chinese factories, fueled by "dirty" coal power plants. And they contain mercury, which, if the bulb breaks, requires approximately 6 types of tools and materials, and 14 steps (including cutting out a section of your carpet, if that's where it broke) - depending on who you ask.
Point 2: A CFL typically contains 4mg-5mg of mercury. The energy saved compared to an incandescent translates to something like 15mg-20mg less mercury vapor at a coal power plant.
Point 3: I made it to Level 2, I guess.
Point 1: Power plants in China (where virtually all CFLs come from) are NOT in any way shape manner or form: "cleaner than power from a gasoline engine". They have no scrubbers or any other type of pollution control whatsoever! In some Chinese cities, the smoke from power plants and other pollution literally makes it difficult to see for any distance, even at midday. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/07/070709-china-pollution.html
Point 2: Try actually reading my comment. My comment was NOT about the impact of mercury on the environment in general but rather what a nightmare it is to have to clean up after a mishap with a CFL that we are going to soon be FORCED BY LAW to purchase, e.g.: http://www.maine.gov/dep/rwm/homeowner/cflreport/appendixe.pdf
Have you ever actually used a high-lumen CFL (such as a replacement for the soon-to-be-outlawed 100W Edison bulb)? It is recommended that they only be used in applications where they will be on for at least ten minutes, because it takes 5+ minutes for them to reach rated output
During the height of steel production in the greater Pittsburg, PA area, white-collar workers took a spare white shirt to change into as the air was so thick with coal smoke and ash that it soon turned black. China is now in some areas that bad. So yes, you are correct.
