Baltic Amber baby teething bracelets provide natural pain relief for babies, toddlers, and children. They are not designed for chewing with teeth, parent supervision is recommended at all times when baby is wearing bracelet. Amber is associated with sunlight and warmth and reputed to boost the immune system, reduce inflammation and accelerate the healing of wounds and is thus the perfect help for babies and toddlers who wear it when they are teething.
Wear two for more complete pain relief. Can be worn on the ankle also, though pain relief effect is best when worn close to the source of pain.
Only natural 100% authentic Baltic amber is used to make our teething bracelets. Beads will vary in color, shape, and size since they are natural resins.
Beads are small enough to not pose a choking hazard and each one is knotted individually for safety.
Note: Do not tighten screw clasp too tightly...gently tighten it until the two clasp beads touch. The parts are plastic and may be damaged if they are tightened too tightly.
Bracelets are approximately 5" long. Made in Lithuania where the Baltic Amber is collected.One year warranty for clasps and beads.
How they are made?Sizes colors and shape of stones and the length of the bracelet may vary from bracelet to bracelet. All amber stones we use for our amber jewelry are genuine, authentic, natural Baltic amber stones. It is not artificial, plastic, synthetic, reconstituted or substitute for amber. Every bead is knotted in between to prevent choking hazard. Even if string got torn only one bead would come of. Strong silk, matching to amber color is used for every necklace uses twist screw closure, clasp or strong magnetic clasp for safety.
Whom are they designed for?Baltic Amber teething necklaces are designed for boys and girls. These necklaces are a must-have for teething symptoms. Baltic Amber is completely natural pain relief with no side effects.
When can my baby start wearing the necklace? The necklace may be worn from 8 weeks and up. Although you can start you child wearing this necklace at any time, the earlier the better. If your child wears it at a young age they will not even know it is there and they will not touch it or pull on it.
How it works?When a baby is wearing amber teething necklace on the skin, the skin's warmth releases healing oils from the amber (a resin) which are absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream. Amber is not a stone and therefore warm to the touch, as well as very comfortable and light to wear. Children wearing amber is a very old traditional custom in Europe and the Far East. Amber is known to reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and stomach and to fight inflammation, infections and respiratory disease. Traditional beaded amber necklaces are a less intrusive remedy for the pain and side effects of teething, such as lack of appetite, upset tummies, ear ache, fevers and colds. A natural analgesic, amber will help calm a baby without resorting to drugs. Amber's anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties are also recognized by allopathic medicine. These necklaces are long known for the healing properties of amber which include calmative, analgesic, antispasmodic, expectorant, and febrifuge (anti-fever) functions.
What happen if necklace gets broken?Silk string is very strong and breaking is unlikely to happen, even if the necklace would break only one bead would come off. The Baby Amber necklace beads are light and small and therefore too small for a baby/child to choke on. But if a baby/child should swallow a bead from the Baltic Amber necklace, it would not be harmful since it is not toxic.DisclaimerAlthough we have never had any any incidents that have resulted in harm to infants, there is always a chance they will break the necklace apart and perhaps swallow one of the beads. We have gone to every extent to ensure the safety of the child, the beads are knotted in between each other, and the cord is not very strong, the clasp is a screw clasp. Amber is a natural healing product that works by being next to baby's skin. The child does not have to put the beads in or around their mouths for the amber to work. This product should be used under direct supervision of an adult. We assume no responsibility if any harm should come to the child, due to misuse of our products.

Cleaning instructions:
Mix a small amount of liquid soap in the water, dip it in the soap and water mixture, and scrub the amber gently. focus on the area wear the silver meets the amber, or in the case of amber without silver, in between the amber stones, or beads. Rinse off any residue from the soap, by washing off the amber in your other container of water. Take small amount of olive oil, apply it to your hand, (or finger depending on the size of the amber) and work it into the stone. This will keep your stone with a beautiful luster. Be careful when cleaning Amber has an approximately Mohs Hardness Value of 2.5, which means it's a very soft gemstone, and can be scratched.
Available Colors:
All Knickernappies Baltic Amber necklaces go through a quality and authentication process. In addition, random necklaces from each batch are tested more thoroughly by a 3rd party independent lab. View the Certification

At its height, the Tang Dynasty was one of the most enlightened empires in Chinese history. But in 859AD, the Dynasty is in decline. The Emperor is incompetent and the government is corrupt. Unrest is spreading throughout the land, and many rebel armies are forming in protest. The largest, and most prestigious, is an underground alliance called the 'House of Flying Daggers'.
The House operates mysteriously, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Thus, they earned the support and admiration of the people and expanded quickly. Based in Feng Tian County, close to the Imperial Capital, the House of Flying Daggers has long been a thorn in the side of their hated rivals, the local deputies.To the fury of the deputies, even after they fought and killed the leader of the House of Flying Daggers, the House continues to thrive. Under the leadership of a mysterious New Leader, the House of Flying Daggers grows ever more powerful. Feng Tian County's two local captains, Leo (ANDY LAU TAK WAH) and Jin (TAKESHI KANESHIRO) are ordered to capture the new leader within ten days.
Captain Leo suspects that Mei (ZHANG ZIYI), the beautiful new dancer at the local Peony Pavilion is actually the daughter of the old leader, and hatches a plan to arrest her and bring her in for questioning. When Mei refuses to divulge any information on the House of Flying Daggers, the two captains set up another plan. This time, Captain Jin will pretend to be a lone warrior called Wind and rescue Mei from prison, earning her trust and escorting her to the secret headquarters of the House of Flying Daggers. The plan works, and on their long journey to the House, Jin and Mei warm to each other. Before long, Mei has developed feelings for her enigmatic protector, Wind. For his part, Jin is surprised to find himself falling for Mei's headstrong charm. Both struggle to contain their feelings, but under the starry night, their irrepressible desire is almost beyond their control.
What lies ahead for Jin and Mei, these star-crossed lovers? If this is true love, then why are there plots in their heads...and secrets in their hearts?
The cast includes Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau Tak Wah and Song Dandan.

Ok.. after chewing over everyone's comments, I decided to abandon the one month ad experiment for now.
Not because I think there is anything wrong with experimenting -- but because I think the comments exposed that I didn't have a good reason for doing it other than basic curiosity. So I think instead we will wait until there is some question worth answering -- some new idea to experiment with. If you think of anything that might be worth an experiment let us know.

Gallery: Fantastic Flat-Pack Prefab Cabins by Form and Forest
Form and Forest is the brainchild of brothers Jeff and Ryan Jordan, where Jeff owns and runs a prefab manufacturing company in the Calgary area and Ryan is an industrial designer. The designs for the cabins were created by D'Arcy Jones Design and include five different cabins based on prefab, flat-pack design methodology. The cabins are named after outdoor and frontier themes like, the Cowboy, Lookout, Ranger, Settler and Trapper, and they come in sizes as small as 400 sq ft up to 1500 sq ft.
After selecting the cabin of your dreams, the home will be manufactured in Calgary and packed flat to minimize on shipping costs and environmental impact. Included in the delivery are prefabricated panelized walls and all the components needed to build the structure, along with siding, doors, windows, roofing materials, and some interior finishes. The cabins are even fairly reasonably priced at around $100 per sq ft or less depending on what cabin you choose. Of course that doesn't include site work, permitting, or construction, but for a prefab home, the costs are reasonable.

I use Outlook tasks quite a lot, for serious tasks, to-do lists, but also quick reminders. Today I stumbled across "QuickOutlookTask", a small command-line utility that allows you to quickly add an Outlook task. You simply type something like "do new outlook task" (command line, or Windows Run) and this creates a new Outlook task with subject "new outlook task". Outlook needn't even be running. See http://www.megalab.it/articoli.php?id=1288.
Well, a couple of days ago I discovered FARR and quickly fell in love with it (kudos, mouser ) and I wanted to have this through FARR. So I wrapped this functionality in a FARR alias, and this is my attempt to pass it on to you.
Please extract the files in the zip-file to AliasGroups\Installed in your FindAndRunRobot installation folder. You should now have a FARR alias "do" and should be able to create an Outlook task by hitting your FARR hotkey and then typing "do something" (sans quotes). I hope I am doing this right, because I am new to this game.
PLEASE NOTE: The latest version of QuickOutlookTast is available at http://jpijper.dcmembers.com.

Red Fox Media Releases Video For Wininger LawFriday, February 17th, 2012
The Wininger Law Firm specializes in personal injury cases and is located in Birmingham, Alabama. For their recent website design project, they were interested in producing a series of brief videos that could be used to introduce potential clients to the firm and to the attorneys. They hired Morris Web Marketing to handle the website design. Morris Web Marketing turned to us to handle production and post-production of each video.
The concept for each video was basic: interview the partners and give them the opportunity to discuss the firm and its philosophy. Then, shoot b-roll throughout the office and use the acquired footage to create three brief videos for use on the web. We spent one half-day on location shooting each interview and capturing b-roll.
The first video centered on the firm as a whole – the history, overall mission, and what makes them unique. The second video deals more with the specifics of how they approach each case, and the third video provides the viewer with advice on what to do if they find themselves injured in a serious accident.
The video below is the Wininger Law Firm overview video.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|You people are dangerous. Izabella87 started it for me, you guys have pushed me over the edge. Following all the links through to the MFK build that combined two 55s and a 29 has my brain churning like a squirrel on crack. I have a friend who owns a glass shop. Another dear friend gave me an early Christmas present of a table saw. I will lay in bed all night thinking of ways to make custom shaped tanks with hardwood frames - LOL
|Well I have some new found insight after doing a little reading and checking out that link you provided. All in all you should be fine as long as you're patient and very meticulous during construction. The weight of the water shouldn't be a problem as long as the glass isn't in a bind when filling with water. Any configuration you choose should work as long as you don't try to increase the height of the tank using only the glass you have from the provided aquariums. I would look at the DIY all galss build in the link I provided to get the silicone he uses. Eurobracing would totally work too if done properly. Also if you did the seams properly you could get away with using glass as the bracing on the sides instead of wood.
Eurobracing wouldn't be that bad of an idea, and I kind of like the way it looks
It looks like I'm not the first to have this idea though A friend of mine sent me a link and it seems someone else beat me to the punch. Kind of like my idea for turning a 55 gallon on it's side for a 4' long x 24" wide x 12" tall tank (a buddy of mine wanted to do a bottom feeder tank and was looking for a cheap short tank).
If you are interested in how it turned out for the other people that joined 2 55s and 1 29 gallon tank here's the link. It hasn't leaked as far as I know, but the last update was in March.
I know having the wooden brace down the middle will "obstruct the view" but it honestly won't bother me. If I were doing it for a show tank, I would just start saving for an upgrade
Thank you everyone for your comments and assistance with my insane idea!
Here you go, this proves it can be done...
And a spoiler alert pic...
|Eurobracing is horizontal strips of glass along the front, back and side panels, resulting in a smaller open top on the tank. It isn't cross braces. Those horizontal strips convert the glass panels to sort of I beams, so they are reinforced against bending, which is the problem with long panels of glass. You would need to buy those strips of glass, say 3 inch wide 6 mm glass, and cut them to fit well inside the top of the tank. Ideally they would be mitered on the ends, but I don't think that is necessary at all. (Now that I think about it, if the tank bottoms aren't tempered you could cut those into strips, but they probably are tempered.)
Will work on smaller tanks. putting 2 55 together mean taken one of the side glass off and using silicone to hold them together. One way or another the middle will leak, you can duck tape it and will still leak.
Try this idea
take all the glass off and just use the bigger size.
Your tank foot print should be
48" L x 24" W x 21" H
2 48"x12 = 48x24
you will end up cutting one 48x12 in half for the 2 side.
Silicone the 2 bottom glass will be fine and leak save if only the flood or stand is flat must be 100% flat
Use left over glass to build smaller tank or use it to make a glass top
I will definitely keep bracing in mind, I really don't want to create a mess
I agree with you that the sheer size of the thing might make it difficult to find a place for it... It's almost as big (aside from the height) as the cube I work in!
One other member mention thickness, this is my biggest concern at the moment, I have no difficulties with my ability to support the tank so that the siliconed seams do not separate, but the thickness... Well, i can't do a thing about that without buying new pieces. It's tempered, so I know technically it can be thinner than non-tempered glass and withstand more pressure, but I have to do some figuring to determine HOW much.
Crossing the braces is another hurdle for the 4' x 4' tank... But I may be able to use a methodology similar to izabell depending on the thickness of the cross braces. AHH, unless I can find someone with a broken tank, I would have to BUY cross pieces for bracing... Seems like I have a lot of thinking to do.
It is looking like I won't do ANYTHING with this until after we move (our house isn't even sold yet, so there's no ETA). I'd like to take it with me if I spend a lot of time working on it, I just couldn't stand leaving it behind... This is going to drive me crazy until I can get my hands on those panes of glass!
I like dogfish's idea as well. The biggest hurdle I see is the euro cross bracing the hoppy mentioned.
It will have to cross both front to back and side to side. What would prevent the euro brace from caving in at the middle where the two cross?
I think it is definitely possible to do this way though.
HA, I know exactly what you are talking about, my father-in-law is a bowyer (self-wood/long bows), and loves making things in general with wood. While he uses all kinds of woods, osage is his go-to wood for bow making. He recently got a connection with someone where he has the potential to get as much as he wants from someone's fence row.
He has used it for so many things that now it's a running joke that if something is broken he can fix it with osage.
You are right though, it is tough to work with, especially if you get wood from one of the slower growing trees, the growth rings are TIGHT on those jokers! It is pretty cool how the color changes with age too, he has several bows ranging from a few weeks to 15+ years (i think) old all looking like they come from a different type of wood (based on the color).
Nice revolver BTW
Back to topic, knowing the density/durability and longevity of this wood I think I could use it as a frame in addition to glass supports, in my head I have it worked out to look nice as well as being functional. and aside from time, it would be no cost to me, so it would keep the "upgrade" cost down considerably.
If you try DogFish's idea for a 48" x 48" x 24" tank, it will be as strong and safe as a standard 55 gallon tank. The weakest glass is the longest glass, and you will be using those from a proven safe design tank, so they are strong enough. The bottom, I agree again with DogFish, that putting reinforcing pieces of glass across the seams, on the inside, will work fine, even if you don't use a fully supported bottom, but just an edge supported bottom. You will want to silicone seal the whole overlap area, so that will be a very strong joint. And, of course, you will want to Eurobrace the sides to take the place of the standard 55 gallon cross brace.
The only problem I see are having to make a stand that will be adequate and look good, and having to move such a large, awkwardly shaped tank. Good luck, and I hope you try this and report on it.
I Love/Hate that Wood. I believe it is the most dense North American Hardwood. I have in in the riser of two of my Recurve Bows and as grips for my S & W 325NG .45acp revolver.
I've made a few small hunting related items out of it. What a headache to work with. I think I actually dulled out a File on it.
I do like how it changes color over time too.
Here's another thread you may want to check out, though the thread is old, you may be able to contact the members and get more input. I posted to bring the thread back up to the top so maybe someone will post some updates.
Wow, everyone here is full of great knowledge and supportive scenarios!
I few other things i should mention. I am not against building a frame for the tank to cover up and/or add to supports along the seams, edges, or the top/bottom. I have access to some free Osage Orange. I'm not terribly concerned about having a thin bead of silicone on the seams -meaning I am willing to do a large bead to ensure stability- , i'll do what it takes to make it safe if i go down that route. Dont get me wrong, i will make is as attractive as possible too
Honestly the more I think about it the combination probably wouldn't serve too well when considering glass thickness it would be very very fragile. If it wasn't on a solid base just a sag in the floor or stand over time with all of the weight would find a weak spot and come crashing out not to mention something bumping into one of the long panes. As far as the seams go at the joint of the two tanks like I vaguely showed above; you could easily hide with proper scaping and display point of the aquarium.
Glass thickness is key to combining them.
The guy in the link above provided great information in his build journal.
If the glass is too thin then I would consider making a bridge.
A 6x6 trough at the top leaving a 2-4in gap between the tanks would be better but you'll want to try and save the rim around the top. I personally wouldn't try going bigger than that. I'd like to add that if you did the bridge then I would beef up the glass or acrylic(which ever you choice you make) thickness and use the correct silicone definitely do not cheap out on that part.
Like I said before it just comes down to the thickness of the glass.
As an after thought, you could run a 2" strip across the top of the seams of the two original bottom 12x48" panes were they will butt up to the 4- 12x24" panes to reduce you lateral flex point. Although I do feel the plywood sheet underneath will be enough. That will be further re-enforced by stand top.

Henry County – Yesterday morning (10/7/12) around 8:40 a.m. Trooper Kris Martin was on I-70 working crash reduction in Henry County when he noticed a gray 2007 Chevrolet passenger car following another car too closely in the passing lane. The vehicles were at the speed limit with a car length or less distance between the two. Following too closely is one of the top three causes of crashes on the interstate.
Martin stopped the car at the 131 mile marker for following too closely. After speaking to the driver and his passenger, he became suspicious. Troopers Snyder and K-9 Trooper Stephens were nearby and came to assist. Stephen's partner, Jaxx, did an open air sniff of the vehicle and alerted on the presence of narcotics in the car.
A search of the vehicle turned up a small amount of marijuana and three capsules containing heroin. Arrested was the driver, Darion D. Miller, age 20 of Centerville, Ohio, and the passenger, William Lowery, age 24 of Trotwood, Ohio.
Miller was charged with Possession of Heroin, Class "D" Felony, and Possession of Marijuana, Class "A" Misdemeanor. Lowery was charged with Possession of Heroin and Possession of Marijuana, Second Offense, both "D" Felonies. Both men were lodged in the Henry County Jail.
The Indiana State Police remain committed to reducing crashes in the state by monitoring the top causes for crashes and concentrating enforcement efforts on these causes. This traffic stop is also an example of how a "routine traffic stop" can often lead to the discovery of criminal activity.
Anyone with information about illegal drug use may call the Pendleton Post at 1-800-527-4752, or the Indiana State Police Drug Tip Line at 1-800-453-4756. Tips can be made and kept anonymous.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Sierra Nevada Corporation's Space Systems has successfully completed testing of the nose landing gear for the Dream Chaser® orbital crew vehicle.
This milestone evaluated the impact forces experienced by the landing gear at the front of the vehicle, the nose, in order to ensure safe runway landing capability of the Dream Chaser during approach and landing tests, as well as future orbital flights.
Test results were presented to NASA on June 25, 2012, and the successful milestone review was completed the same day.
The Dream Chaser main landing gear was tested in a similar manner in February of this year and other systems that support the flight test are currently being installed and tested. These milestones will prepare the Dream Chaser for its first approach and landing test scheduled for later this year. SNC has now completed 18 milestones as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
"This test marks a significant point in the development of the Dream Chaser orbital crew vehicle. As the last milestone before free flight of the Dream Chaser spacecraft, we are now preparing for the approach and landing tests to be flown later this year," said Jim Voss, vice president of Space Exploration Systems and program manager for the Dream Chaser.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Kristen Schaub High-performance sound from a slim floor-standing speaker PSB's Image T5 delivers refined sound with the kind of spatial and dynamic accuracy that will make it a hit in any home theater or stereo music system. The Image line borrows from driver technologies developed for PSB's sophisticated Imagine family and their top-tier Synchrony speakers, giving you high-end sound at a budget-friendly price. The Image line also features a slightly different cabinet design than its predecessors, showcasing clean lines that won't clutter up your listening room. PSB's Image speaker family (Image T5 shown center right) High-tech drivers produce clean, well-balanced sound The tweeter uses a powerful neodymium magnet for crystal-clear highs. The Image T5 features a 1" titanium dome tweeter that effortlessly dishes out smooth, uncolored highs. The long-excursion, high-output woofers use the same proprietary ceramic-filled polypropylene cones as the Imagine line. The stiff, lightweight material helps them deliver midrange that's clean and balanced, with excellent imaging. The dual woofer design paired with a port at the front of the enclosure allows for extended, defined bass response uncommon for a speaker this size. Sleek, thoughtful cabinet design All Image speakers have heavy internal bracing and 1-1/8" thick MDF cabinets to ensure impressively solid, acoustically inert enclosures. The cabinets have a traditional look, but with slightly curved tops and fronts to soften it. This family of speakers also features attractive vinyl finishes, allowing the Image speakers to easily integrate into just about any décor. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Decided to upgrade from my PSB Alpha B1s because I needed a bit more in terms of volume. My space is small and my current setup is used only for music. I immediately noticed a huge increase in bass - it filled the room. The vocal clarity is absolutely stunning. I went with the dark cherry instead of the black and they really are elegant looking in that color. Pros: Vocals, bass, looks, dimensions Cons: None yet Was this review helpful? Yes No Big Sound, Small Footprint Written By burghfan, Ballston Lake, NY on Monday, August 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This choice was driven by room dimensions. No room for even a tiny subwoofer and, as it turns out, nothing with a footprint any larger than these speakers would have worked in our space. They are used primarily as TV speakers but are getting increasing use for music - mostly classic rock, jazz, and classical. I wanted something that would eliminate the need for a sub, and these come very close. As they get more and more hours on them, I find the sound opening up and the bass improving. These are light-years ahead of the small Polk RM40T towers they replaced. My wife was very reluctant to make a change, but quickly approved of both the looks and the sound - no small feat. She'd admit her WAF ("wife acceptance factor") has a high threshold. Several things made these speakers work in my small space and may make a difference for you. First, front porting means they can be placed against the wall without harming the sound. Second, the plastic feet can be removed and the rubber pads that normally screw into the feet go in to the speaker instead, saving another few square inches of floor space.. The sound is open, accurate, and detailed. Bass is fine for all but a few pedal tomes if you're listening to classical. If you want home theater speakers, you'll need a sub with these to get the special effects, but that's no surprise. Someday, I may spring for an in-wall sub, but that will round out my mid/deep bass, not provide it. Kudos to sales for nailing it against very tough requirements. Pros: Open, spacious, full-range sound. Excellent bass coverage for its size. Does not color sound noticeably Small, attractive package. Removable feet for reduced footprint. Front porting for placement against wall. Cons: Can't defy the laws of physics - won't get massive bass from any speaker configured similarly. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Speaker Written By Brad L, Hartford CT on Thursday, August 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Hopefully not a repeat... I really enjoy these speakers. Smooth sound, very attractive package. comparable sound to B&W of similar build Pros: sound Cons: bit deeper size wise than I expected Was this review helpful? Yes No A new PSB believer Written By johnnybinsea, Seattle, WA on Sunday, July 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well I did a lot of research before I choose what speakers I wanted. I had not heard PCB speakers but all the reviews that I read were all positive. I found them on Crutchfield and because of there 60 day return policy I ordered them. These Speakers are everything I thought and so much more. I bought these to improve my home theater but I cant stop listening to music. These are GREAT speakers.... I love them. Pros: These are great speakers for the price. I cant imagine that you can find anything better. Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No PSB Image T5 Written By Anonymous, Highland Park, NJ on Friday, May 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent sound and they look good too. I have been very happy with these since they arrived. 1 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Beautiful Sound, Beautiful Look Written By Jim, Central VA on Sunday, November 18, 2012 I am fortunate enough to live near the Crutchfield store so I can go in and compare the different speakers they offer side by side, they even let me listen to the Thiels even though I had no intention of buying them. When I listened to the PSB series I was amazed at their clarity and depth. Every PSB speaker I listened to had a wonderful sound. I talked with the guys in the store and they highly recommended the PSB brand because of the quality of sound they deliver at such a great price point. I have to say I agreed. I was limited by my wife on the size of the speaker I could put in our living room area so I was thrilled when I saw the small foot print of the T5 speakers. My wife even liked the simple yet stylish beauty of them. I was able to buy the T5s in the outlet center so I got an amazing deal on them but it doesn't matter, they are well worth their list price. Every genre of music I have played on them, from classical to jazz to rock, all sound wonderful. I have them set up in a 3.1 sound system using the PSB Image C5 as my center channel with everything driven by a Marantz 5006. I have to say, they do a great job with movie sound tracks as well as television. I can not stress enough how great these speakers sound. You could easily pay twice as much for speakers and not get half the sound quality. Pros: Great sound clarity and depth with a small foot print. Beautiful looking speakers as well. Cons: Nothing. Unless you want unfairly compare them to speakers that cost three times as much. 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No wonderful sounding speaker Written By eric, Birmingham, AL on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 I went back and forth between basically every psb speaker trying to decide wants and needs. I decided to go with the most inexpensive knowing that if I was happy with it then money well spent. I have been quite happy with the sound/staging and depth of these speakers. I am powering them with the nad t747 and they they sound great. The first cd I played a few weeks was a live recording of Pearl Jam at Madison Square Garden from May 2010. I was at the concert so it was interesting to so see how it would remind me of being there. We had great seats but this setup put us just feet from the stage in 'feel'. It's been a great purchase. Voices clear and detailed, adequate bass for stereo listening, good mids and highs, detailed, no detectable cabinet resonance to me. Resonance was one of my bigger concerns at this price point but the cabinet is solid. Vinyl on the cabinet has the feel and look of wood too. I do prefer a sub with them for music and ht but for music they are ok without sub dependant on type of music. Yes I would purchase them again. 33 out of 33 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The magnetically neutral polycarbonate baskets contribute additional stiffness, and the bullet-shaped phase-plugs enhance linearity at higher frequencies. Tweeter: The 1" titanium, Ferrofluid cooled dome tweeter's light yet rigid diaphragm and over hung voice coil, combined with a computer optimized magnetic circuit produce an extended high frequency response that remains distortion free even at extreme volume levels. The front baffle is designed to eliminate mid and high frequency diffractions, maximizing three dimensional realism. Crossover Network: The crossover is a 2-way acoustical fourth order Linkwitz-Riley type with a 24 dB/octave slope. The tweeter and top woofer are crossed over at 1,800 Hz, the bottom woofer plays only 800 Hz and below. Enclosure Design Cabinet: The cabinet is an integral part of speaker design and has a dramatic effect on the overall sound of a speaker. PSB's 7-layer laminated construction results in a solid, acoustically inert enclosure. The side and top panels are curved for added stiffness, with a wood veneer exterior. Internally the cabinet has two separate chambers, each with its own port on the rear panel. Port Cover: There are two ports on the rear panel, one for each of the internal chambers. One port cover is included to seal a port (if necessary), thereby changing the bass tuning characteristics of the speaker to correct the interaction with the room. If needed, additional port covers can be obtained from PSB for a nominal fee. Connections Binding Posts: The dual binding post input terminals are located on the lower rear of the speaker cabinet. The two sets of binding posts are shorted together by a gold-plated jumper. With the jumper removed the Imagine T5 can be bi-wired or bi-amplified. The binding posts will accept spade connectors, single banana plugs, pin connectors, and bare wire up to 8 gauge. Mounting Options Leveling Feet: The Imagine T5 includes two sets of leveling feet; the rubber covered feet are used on a hard surface and add approximately 1/2" to the height of the speaker, the carpet spikes add approximately 1" to the height.

Just Starting To Learn How To Sew
People who are just starting to learn how to sew should use a beginner sewing machine. An easy to use machine like this is pretty essential. Beginners don't need expensive sewing machines with a lot of features. They simply need a machine which is easy to operate. If you are looking for the good basic beginner sewing machines, this guide is intended for you. It will show you the criteria to consider in choosing the right machine. As long as these criteria are considered, you will certainly be making an informed buying decision.
- The Pedal Control
The pedal control is attached to the sewing machine through a cord. It is slightly above the floor and it starts or stops the machine. It functions like an accelerator. As you press down the pedal, the machine would slowly work until you get into a certain rhythm. Since the feet are used for the pedal control, it leaves your hands free for any sewing operations. The pedal control should be easy to operate with no special settings necessary.
- The Thread Tension Control
This part of the sewing machine is often located at the top. You could see numbers on it that represents that various degrees of tension for the thread. It has an inner disc which is responsible for the loosening and tightening of tension. Refer to the machine's manual to know the right tension for a certain sewing style. In looking for a beginner sewing machine, see to it that the tension control is easy to adjust.
- The Stitch Selector
In front of the unit you will see a dial, which is the stitch selector. Using this dial, you could choose from the many stitches available in the machine. A sewing machine for beginners should only have a few options like straight, reverse and zigzag stitch. Since machines vary from each other, make sure to choose one with a stitch selector that is easy to explore, comes with a simple design and is in a convenient location.
- Speed Control
For beginners, the speed control is an important part of the machine. It is important that you are able to set the speed to high or low depending on the fabric that you are working on. Since you are still getting familiar with the pressure needed to control the sewing, the speed control will manage the speed until you gain enough experience and you can do the control on your own.
- Built-in Extras for the Sewing Machine
It would be good if the machine could offer some decorative stitches aside from the basis stitches mentioned earlier. Though this is not necessary for beginners, it could be a lot fun to give this a try occasionally. In choosing the extras for the machine, go for one with stitches that you think would be very handy in time.
The first sewing machine you choose as a beginner is very important for learning. This is why the machine should be easy to use, have all the basic features of a sewing machine and comes in an affordable price. If you look for the best beginner sewing machine see to it that the criteria mentioned above are properly evaluated.

If you have "elective mode" on, you can just drag (with the left mouse button) the skill from the bar and drop it somewhere meaningless (e.g. on the main game area). If you don't have a skill in the "Left click" or "Right click" slot, then the melee will appear there instead. There are no options that I know of to put the melee on a number.
To activate "elective mode", you have to go into Options, then go to Gameplay, and then select "Elective Mode."
So, there you have it! :)

Alright, here's an idea I had for my PFS GM credit dump character with a race boon. I wouldn't be playing him until a high-ish level.
Nagaji (+2 STR/CHA, -2 INT)
17 STR (+1 at 4)
13 DEX (+1 at 8)
Barb1: Power Attack
Barb2: Moment of Clarity
Oracle1: Bonded Mount, Boon Companion
Oracle2: +1 STR
Oracle3: Animal Affinity, Nature's Whisper
RageProphet1: Extra Rage
RageProphet2: +1 DEX
RageProphet3: Weapon Focus (Greatsword)
MammothRider1: Huge Mount
MammothRider2: ???
I haven't worked out the details of my mount, but the general idea is to run around attacking for huge damage with a greatsword, while my mount does the same. I'd have up to 3rd level spells for buffing, although that means I'm losing some great 4th level buff spells by taking the barb/rage prophet levels. Any ideas or suggestions?

the general idea is to run around attacking for huge damage with a greatsword, while my mount does the same.
When you say "the same", I assume you mean "attack for huge damage", not "attack for huge damage with a greatsword"? Because the latter would be a no-no in PFS, if I'm not mistaken.
|RainyDayNinja RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16
Hmm was just making a barbarian build with a single dip into nature oracle - I concluded the barbarian didn't add much to the build...
oracle1/barbarian 11/Mammoth rider 3 -
All the barbarian barbarian did for the mount was a gore attack, greater rage, and +10 foot movement (posisble a few passive rage powers).
And the barbarian him self used all he's feats to pull it off - boon compagion, mounted combat, ride by attack, spirited charge...
Things any char could have done...
|RainyDayNinja RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16
Hmm, that's an interesting point. Now I'm wondering if going Fighter (Dragoon) 1/Nature Oracle 8 might be a better idea. I'd get an extra feat, and if I give up Weapon Focus and Extra Rage, I can get Spirited Charge and all its prereqs by the time I take any levels in Mammoth Rider. Plus, I'd get a 4th level spell (Blessing of Fervor!), another revelation, and a few more FCBs. That sounds like the way to go now.
I'd only be down one druid level on my mount, so Boon Companion seems like a waste. Are there any traits that could make up that one level?
|RainyDayNinja RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16
How about a straight mounted fury barbarian build with boon companion.
Raging HUGE animal companions..
|RainyDayNinja RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16
|RainyDayNinja RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16
That's true, but it seems a shame to pass up such awesomeness, just because it won't always work. I can always read the description of the scenario, and guess if a mount will be usable or not.
Anyway, here's what I'm thinking now:
Cavalier (Emissary) 1/Nature Oracle 8/ Mammoth Rider X
Cavalier1: Power Attack, Mounted Combat
Oracle1: Bonded Mount
Oracle2: Animal Affinity
Oracle3: Nature's Whispers
Oracle4: Ride-by Attack
Oracle6: Spirited Charge
Oracle7: Natural Divination
Mammoth1: Huge Steed
Mammoth2: Lightning Reflexes
Using the level of Cavalier gets me everything the level of Fighter would, except the Skill Focus (Ride), but keeps my effective druid level maxed out. Even if I am separated from my mount, I'll be able to cast up to 4th level spells, and have good melee damage and AC on my own.
As far as the mount goes, I'll probably use the Axe Beak boon until I get to Mammoth Rider, at which point I'll switch to either the Megaloceros (a giant elk, which is relatively fast, and has 3 attacks but lower STR and natural armor), or the Rhinoceros (which has only one attack, but better damage and natural armor).
nature oracle bonded mount has the same animal companion choices as the cavalier.
if the axe beak boon would work for a cavalier, it will likely work for nature oracle as well.
anyways, AC classes explicitly stack for purposes of level, so he would be able to use both class' mount scaling anyways.
mammoth rider explicitly says it replaces other class' AC's, so once you are a mammoth rider you may not choose from other class' mount options, albeit if you have a feat/boon allowing you more options, that technically still applies. (HUGE AXEBEAKS!!!)
i think that technically, a nature oracle/mammoth rider's mammoth mounts would not benefit from the higher INT since that is tied directly to the nature oracle bonded mount. but paladins' abilities to call mount to side, apply celestial template, SR, to their mount ISN'T directly tied to 'paladin's mount' so would apply to mammoth rider mounts.

you might not have the feats for it but animal companions w/teamwork feats can be great (if you also have the feat) - great for Cavaliers in particular.
Animal Companion feats can be complicated but very very strong - the feats can make a companion quite effective in combat. And occasionally give them utility outside of combat.
if it only has one natural attack, vital strike is great,
and can still be worthwhile even if it has several attacks.
taking improved/greater grapple or trip or bullrush or over-run
can synergize with abilities like grab, trample, etc.
i would say that readying a partial charge is a very useful ability,
so picking up power attack/improved overrun in order to take rhino charge could be a good bet.
feat-buffing feats are a good idea (iron will), overall you just want survivability
with being able to have 1 or 2 schticks that it can solidly contribute to combat.
toughness could be good as well. lunge is nice also.
i would focus on perception, acrobatics (jumping), and swim and climb. swim DCs don't scale that high, so you just need enough to cover the Armor Penalty and Encumbrance and pass DCs reliably. sometimes you can take 10 but sometimes you can't, so being able to pass most DCs even on a roll of 5 is a good baseline to aim for. intimidate might be a good one depending on feats, or sense motive could also be good if that matches the role and character you want the animal to have ("What's that Smashy? He's Lying/ Is a Bad Man? OK..."). Especially if the animal has Scent, maxing out Survival (or just increasing it somewhat) makes alot of sense. There's probably others I'm forgettign :-)
yeah, axebeaks are great for the trip aspect, and looking awesome, but that's about it :-)

Anyone from the Phins want to talk trash to Raiders and Bucs fans ?
We got a babes forum also
First off, why?
Second off, I never go to a forum that requires you to register just to read messages. I find that a rather sad way to get users.
Ask me about the Miami Dolphins "Game of the Week" during the offseason.
Miami Dolphins DVD Video Library
Now hosting Miami Dolphins games on DVD including the games like
'85 Bears game, Fake Spike game, and the '94 shoot out vs Patriots!!
Games available for your iPhone and iPod Touch!
PM for details
Eagles suck
There REAAAAAAAAAALY gonna suck this year.
Some of my fave fader smack, try this on em
The faders spent the entire decade of the 80s in LA as al found a new corner to put his whore on
The 117 wins and a championship belong to the people of LA. fader nation lays no more claim to that championship then the folks in indy have for the 59 championship or SB 4
Either way the the FINs have the best franchise winning percentage (all games including playoffs) in the NFL, faders are 2nd.
Watch it they like to come back with the head to head thing which we have been gaining ground winning 4 of the last 5.
We should have a babe section in our forum
2007 Gold Cup Champions...
United States
We have a photo gallery that contains a Cheerleader section...
Good point
those forums are the best place to talk about the NFL. they also got private forums where only fans of that team can acess. check them out.

Please feel free to ignore the following parenting rule: Enjoy every moment! It goes so by quickly. Because I can almost GUARANTEE you that there will be days with your children you do not enjoy.
All-family stomach virus day? Not enjoyable. My kids coated the brand new couch we saved for over a year for in Sharpie day? I give you permission to go ahead and despise this day. My child learns to scream the word "NO" at top volume? Go ahead and take a week off from enjoying parenthood when this happens.
If you take the pressure off yourself to delight in every single instant of your childrens' existences you'll be a better parent and a saner human. And there will be plenty of moments to enjoy, don't worry. Just not 'My kids have learned how to open the refrigerator and have now hidden broken eggs all over the house' day. That day's gonna be really, really bad. Be warned.
What's a parenting rule you should break and why?
Please feel free to ignore the following parenting rule: Enjoy every moment! It goes so by quickly. Because I can almost GUARANTEE you that there will be days with your children you do not enjoy.
That everything my kids do or create is a brilliant masterpiece of wonderfulness.
I know what my kids are capable of, so I refuse to stand in rousing applause each time they press crayon to paper or run across the soccer field in the wrong direction.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not going all Crouching Tiger, Hidden Piano Mom on my kids. I'm supportive and encouraging and appreciative. I've never tossed a violin at anyone. I pinky swear.
But when they can do better? I know it. They know it. So I tell them to do better.
Earlier this year, my kids were making birthday cards for their uncle. They basically scribbled a smiley face and handed them to me. I took one look and said "Uhhh no. Try again, people". They typically spend hours a day making colorful ornate cards and posters for their stuffed animals, for goodness sake. Step it up a notch for a real Human Being, please.
I see no problem with building confidence in kids by telling them they did a good job at trying something new, even if they didn't do a superb job. Heck, they tried! That's awesome!
But when they are, in fact, good at doing something and just dialed it in? Or know how to write their name but only tack on a last initial out of laziness? Or simply don't want to clean their mess up and act like they don't know where the toy box is?
Gimme a break.
I'm happy to hug and support them, and my kids know I believe in them and are here to kiss boo-boos.
But they also need to know that They Can Do It On Their Own. They Can Do Better. I have faith in their abilities, and don't want them thinking that there's never room for improvement. These parents who think it is terrible to keep score at soccer games, or who argue with the Art teacher that their kid's splotches of paint are deserving of a college scholarship, or insist that their child is a genius at something when everyone else who hears/sees/smells the result is wondering "Does she see what WE see??" aren't letting their kids shine for the world, only for them. And that seems limiting, to me.
I'm not perfect, and don't expect them to be. I don't expect them to be The Greatest At Everything They Do. But we can all be a little better.
I know my kids are awesome. I just want them to prove it to themselves.
So I refuse to blow smoke up their butts. I'll leave that to their grandparents.
"Teach your children to self-soothe. Never rock them to sleep."
Soon you will sleep. Soon your children will brush their own teeth and comb their own hair and roll their eyes when you try to give them a good night kiss. But right now? Right now they still think you are awesome. Right now, they giggle when you read with funny voices and think you are the smartest person in the world
Right NOW. While you are exhausted and dirty and (WHAT is that smell? Is that ME?) stretched so thin... they want more. They want five more minutes, one more song, another story. And soon, they'll hang a sign on the door that reads, "No Gron Ups Aloed." But right now, you still a member of their club, right now you have a chance to savor their sweet baby smell and listen to their innocence as they talk about anything and everything to delay bedtime for just five more minutes.
Gretchen Rubin says, "The days are long but the years are short."
Give them five more minutes, because right now, you still can.
All of them. Because either you choose to break them or they will crumble and fall apart on their own schedule if you don't.
It's not us against our kids. It's us against the rules we have about our kids. And if we wait long enough, Murphy will come along and break the rules at the worst times.
I hate to be predictable, but I really feel that parents should let go of the rigid nap routines. Seriously! I get so many envious comments from folks whose kids fight them on nap time, but the irony is that this new frontier in napping really started for my kids because I was too exhausted from taking care of my youngest to wrestle my oldest into his bed any longer. The rest is history. Sure - I don't get to plan my day around nap time. However, my kids have learned to be flexible and creative and they still get the sleep they need most of the time. As an added bonus, I get a daily laugh and a great photo album to show them when they're grown!
"Not on a school night."
My kids need structure more than most. Heck, I need structure more than most. When I tell my kids "Homework! Dinner! Bath! Bed!" it's as much for me (exhausted me, who NEEDS THE DAY TO END) as it is for them.
But sometimes, when when your kids beg to go to a park across the county to have a picnic dinner by the water and it's Monday at rush hour on a school night, the right answer is yes.
Sometimes, when it's dusk and freezing out and your kids beg you to take them sledding through the woods, the right answer is yes. Because then you get amazing memories like this:
Safety comes second.
Say what? Exactly. We are told when we are children to remember "safety first" over and over, but there are so many times this rule restricts growth, fun and learning. There are times to be impulsive and there are times to test boundaries. Plus, children learn to trust us if we warn them of the danger in what they're doing but allow them to do it anyway, and then find out we were right. We would never lick the brownie batter spatulas with our kids if we put safety first. We wouldn't let them play with slingshots. We wouldn't let them take apart our vacuum cleaners (kudos to my in-laws for allowing my computer scientist husband to do this as a 5-year-old trying to build a hovercraft.) As parents, we need to weigh what we're trying to protect our children from in our minds against the life lesson they will get if they find out the harder (and more fun) way.
The most ludicrous and unrealistic parenting rule I ever heard is: "Don't let your children watch TV. It's bad for them." Who made up that rule? Cavemen? (More likely, cavemen without children). If I didn't have the luxury of plopping my kids in front of the TV when they were little, I would have been unable to prepare innumerable meals, pay the family's bills, or commit to any sort of physical hygiene. In other words, without TV, my kids would have starved, been homeless, and had a mother who stunk.
What's so bad about TV anyway? It's a sure fire way to soothe our precious savage beasts when they are fighting or crying or having some other type of emotional breakdown. There is something about the bright colors flashing across the screen that tames our sweet angels and causes them to stop destroying everything in their paths. TV helps them to sit in one spot for more than a few seconds at a time. TV helps return the home to a peaceful place where parents and children alike are smiling in silence.
Remember, parents: TV is your friend. Embrace it, don't shun it. Most of all, don't believe a word those non-parents tell you!
Your child does not need to be a part of the clean plate club. I remember growing up that we always had to finish every single bite on our plate. Just remind them that there is no more food for the rest of the night and it will work! My daughter always says she is full after a few bites. I tell her that there is no more food for the rest of the night and if she is really full she is done. If she is still hungry then she will eat a few more bites. It is not right to force food down your kid's throat if they really aren't hungry anymore.
Wait....we're supposed to have RULES??? Personally, I like to think of them more as "guidelines" because what works one day may make you wanna stick your head in the microwave another day. Parenting is all about survival of the fittest and being able to adapt to whatever wack-a-doodle thing life throws your way at any given moment.
Every. Single. One. Being a mom means being able to fly by the seat of your pants and adapt to any situation at ANY time. Parenting "rules" are in place as a guide. There is always a situation to break every one of them. I hate it when my friends guilt themselves for letting their kids stay in their pajamas all day, eat pizza for breakfast, or indulge their pleas for a toy even when their behavior has been less than perfect. Being a parent also means showing our kids that rules can be broken and life is meant to be enjoyed! Doing what makes them/you happy is a part of living and loving life. Teaching them happiness is more important than most lessons those parenting rules are meant to teach anyway.
As a the only 5-year-old Featured Blogger on Circle of Moms I think the parenting rule to break is the notion that parents are in control. I like to give my mom the illusion that she's the "boss." Like when she's desperately trying to do the laundry and get dinner together I let her CHOOSE if she wants to play Candyland 20 times in a row OR engage in a round of Ariel verses the Polly Pocket army. By giving her the choice to either A) play with me or B) play with me... she's much easier to deal with by bedtime.
Don't think so hard about things. Go with your gut sometimes - you're probably right. I've got older kids than many "mommy bloggers" and I really want to stress that as things get tougher, as problems with older kids may become larger, unconditional love, with a strong sense of boundaries, is invaluable.
Some people think you can spoil a child by giving them too much attention and affection, but I don't think you can ever give a child too much love.
Heidi Ferrer www.Girltomom.com
Wait. There are rules? Where can I get a copy?
Give thyself a break. Stop thinking there are rules. New parents aren't graded on how they swaddle or what language they use around their kids, but it's almost as if we wish we were because we're all desperate to get it right. So we immerse ourselves in first, second and third hand advice to validate decisions that are largely intuitive and subjective --there IS no right. So trust yourself and your love for your kid and stop freaking yourself out. Besides, by the time you have a second kid, your litmus for a good day will be reduced to whether you've all got clothes on.

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta blasted Congress March 30 for threatening the Defense Department with sequestration he said would be devastating to the force.
"Congress did a stupid thing," he told crewmembers of USS Peleliu during a shipboard visit off the Southern California coast. "What they essentially did was to put a gun to their heads and to the head of the country and basically say that if they did not come up with a plan to reduce the deficit, that this so-called sequester process would go into effect."
That process, the secretary explained, would cut $1.2 trillion in federal spending across the board – almost $500 billion to come from the defense budget.
The cuts would be implemented across the board, he said, guaranteeing that the force would be hollowed out in the process. "It would guarantee that every area would be cut," Panetta said. "It would guarantee that it would weaken our defense system for the future."
Panetta expressed disappointment that a specially appointed congressional deficit-reduction committee hasn't been able to come up with solutions that will prevent sequestration from triggering in January 2013.
"I'm doing everything possible to tell Congress that it would be irresponsible to let that happen," he told the crew. "But my biggest concern is that Congress has got to find the strength, the courage and the will to get this done."
Panetta said he's pointed to the example of the U.S. military to encourage Congress to do the right thing.
"I told the members of Congress, 'Look, I've got men and women that put their heads, their lives on the line every day to protect this country. I'm just asking you to assume just a little bit of risk here to do what's right for this country and to solve the problems that we face,'" he told the group.
"'If my men in women can do this, then you can do it as well,'" Panetta said he told Congress. "So I'm hoping that ultimately they'll do what's right and that [sequestration] won't happen."

in some image programs, if you're resizing something you can press a qualifier key & it will "constrain proportions" or only allow vertical or horizontal resizing
Also in some programs you can constrain how objects are moved
I'm wondering if possible to do the same with mouse movements in general
using Control key + Click/drag the mouse pointer will only move along a vertical line
and I presume a different key would be necessary for horizontal
(diagonal/45° movement isnt of interest to me but may be to others?)
Useful for panning images where you want to be reasonably accurate about what you're seeing/showing -
i.e. this is on exactly the same level as that
Could be useful if printing large(-er than page size) image & you have the option to pan the print-view
FWIW could there be problems with the programmes that already do something similar (as described above)?
I'm just throwing this out there as an idea that I would use but I guess I'm not sure how much energy it would be worth putting into
Anyone else think this could be useful?

B2B supply chains are changing rapidly and becoming increasingly complex. Crossing through business functions including procurement, logistics, warehousing, finance and others, the need for core systems to be integrated is gaining importance. An external B2B service can not only provide the main B2B functions required, but should also be able to integrate with existing systems within an organisation and embrace new functions that are sourced by the organisation from cloud providers.

According to U.S. tech groups, a deal among more than a dozen countries could be completed this summer.
U.S. District Court Judge Robert Wilkins clears the acquisition, saying that the deal has safeguards in place to protect third parties.
U.S. and European antitrust regulators are poised to crack down on the dominant search company. What changes to Google search might the cases trigger?
Despite being met with significant opposition in the travel search industry from companies that claimed buying ITA would give Google unfair power, the $700 million acquisition has cleared.
Justice Department will require Google to continue to license travel tech to competitors as part of its settlement. What's more, Google must forward rivals' complaints to regulators.
Google is said to be nearing agreement with Justice Dept. over its intended $700 million purchase of the travel software company. The deal's been under regulatory scrutiny since announced in July.
The company acquired the travel guide service from John Wiley & Sons for an undisclosed sum, but may face critics alarmed by its growing clout in the travel arena.
As long as Google dominates search and continues to acquire content and make its products work more "seamlessly," competitors like Yelp and Fodor's will be at a disadvantage on Google's platform.
It's been nearly six months since Google first proposed acquiring travel software company ITA, and regulators will soon decide whether to block the deal.
The company announced an IPO in November but faces fresh competition from Google's potential acquisition of rival ITA. Now, a source reports, a quarter of the company may have been laid off in a cost-cutting effort.
