The best musical experiences in life are shared—and we're not just talking about the Pearl Jam concert you attended with your buddies in the early '90s. Whenever you want to hear the music played loud—at the beach, say, or in a hotel room—a good bet is this snappy-looking Portable Speaker. Available in design-centric zebrawood or rosewood finishes, it promises to please both your inner DJ and your inner aesthete.
Received the first one on our March box, it was damaged, so realizing that could have been a one-off situation, I requested a replacement. After receiving the replacement, it still had issues. Every time I plug it in to my iPhone 5, there is a lot of static and fuzzy sounds. Was super excited about this product, loved the look and size, however it is just poor quality.1
I was unable to hear the sound quality because of an electro-static noise the speaker produced each time I plugged my iPhone in. I used a couple different cords with the same results. That said, it feels like its a solid little device but not something I would ever buy if I saw it in a store. If I were buying a portable speaker, I'd be looking for one that had at a minimum Bluetooth and preferably AirPlay. Definitely not the product for me.1
Aesthetically this speaker is great. The wood grain is a breath of fresh air from your typical cheap, plastic speaker. However, that's about the only good thing about this speaker.
The sounds are garbled and there is way too much distortion going on. I may have received a defective speaker, but I have to believe they spent more time designing the housing of the actual speaker then procuring audio components.
My iphone sans speaker is louder, more clear and overall a better listening experience than using this little box.
I was hoping to get this in my box. I guess I got lucky, I plugged everything in and this might have provided the worst sound from a portable speaker I have heard. Anything over $5 is too much in my opinion. The one thing this product has going for it is that it has a unique look.1

Well, finally I get back to my blog 🙂
Quite a bit has been happening over the last few weeks, both on and offline.
Offline, I have been studying for my final set of University exams ever – just 4 law ones to do. They start in about 2 weeks do I have a fair bit to do. Once I have successfully completed those, I will have a Bcom/LLB from The University of Auckland under my belt, which is pretty sweet. I have also been making preparations for my trip around South East Asia, which begins just 2 days after my last exam in about 4 weeks. Hopefully, I will find the time to document it thoroughly through this blog. I have just been organising things like insurance, and a rough itenary – most of my time should be spent in Thailand, but at 3 months long I should be able to explore a fair bit.
Online, I have been venturing into the world of traffic domains. These vary from other domains in that you acquire them for the traffic they produce and consequential Pay-Per-Click (PPC) revenue. With most other domains you try to make money on the actual name once you sell it.
Traffic domains might have once been an old site, or a mis-type (typo) of a popular site. You park the domain with a PPC provider. They have access to thousands of advertisers who's ads will be placed on your site. When someone clicks the ad they are taken to the advertisers site, and you get paid anywhere from 2 cents to $20 or more. How much money you make will depend on the type of traffic your domain receives (ie gaming traffic, xxx, medical etc), how much vistors and what the click-through rate is like. This sort of income is about as passive as it gets if you can get a domain with a steady stream of traffic.
Xbox Skins has been doing very well, as has Xbox2 News and Total Next Gen Gaming. I recently sold my Hl2 Blog site because I simply dont have the time to maintain it, and also with exams and then SEA coming up it made sense.
With all the traffic domains I have been acquiring, the old PayPal account is looking kinda sad, so I am also trying to sell off some domains. Check out The Domain Matrix if you interested! I hope this doesn't sound to commercial – just trying to let people know whats going on 🙂

Obama: Tell Americans the Truth About Afghanistan
So why is the U.S. in Afghanistan? Obama owes Americans the truth.
The truth here, sadly, is that the US and NATO military are here for three reasons, all of them having to do with private profit, and none of them having to do with the safety or security of the US or NATO countries.
They are:
1. The installation of oil pipelines with which to control Eurasian oil (mission singularly unaccomplished here).
2. The control of the drug trade from which so many profit so handsomely (mission very much accomplished here, to the point that the Russian government is openly complaining about the cheap heroin flooding their country).
3. The control of Afghanistan's vast mineral wealth (mission bungled severely, in light of the fact that, as reported at:
Karzai is giving Japan "...priority to explore and extract untapped mineral resources...")
So this means that every single US and NATO soldier who has been died or maimed for life in this meatgrinder has had this happen not to defend the security of their respective countries, but to extract wealth for private corporations from Afghanistan.
All the families and friends who mourn their dead, and grieve for those who have been maimed for life need to understand just why their loved ones have had this happen to them.

Excellent place to stay. Great location overseeing the snow mountains, friendly staff and nice food. It would have been great if they could provide with room heater. Topden's service was amazing. Very cheerful, fast and friendly.
by LovishTekwani on November 10, 2016
I stayed in one of the cottage rooms that the property offers. The room was clean and cozy; linen, toilet were clean too! The service is wonderful, food was fine (organic low spice low oil food), view from the cottage room and the break-out area in front of the cottage is breath taking. The property is on a higher altitude away from the main town area and is absolutely peaceful. Topden Bhutia from the service staff was always ready to help and was the man in-charge, he always has a smile on! He took us on a short 2 hour trek nearby which offered panoramic views of the valley. Tashi - the owner of the place is a nice host himself. I ended up extending my stay at this property because of the friendly staff, comfortable room and super amazing views from the property.
by RashmiPai on November 5, 2016
Great location, wrapped in snow clad mountains and flowers. Great hospitality and mouthwatering food. Due to a landslide in Lachen we had reached very late in Lachung season house but staff were very helpful serving dinner late only for us. Always smiling and welcoming Bhutia helped us to relax and feel comfortable even in late hours. Food was excellent, location and surroundings are welcoming and splendid.
by Jeni2728 on October 17, 2016
Nestled between snowcapped mountains this is a perfect spot for some destressing. You can easily see why this is referred to as Switzerland of the East. From very warm and cordial staff to lipsmacking vegetarian totally organic fooding everything of this lodge screams perfection and should be on a Sikkim tour bucket list.

Wine is pretty good. Have been multiple times. Really go for the space and the games they have. My sisters has three kids, so they can run around, go on the swings, and play some games. Staff has been helpful and nice every time. Even when they were tasting up at their main tasting room, but they didn't have any...
We stopped here for our first winery visit as we drove through the Paso Robles region. What attracted me was the age of the winery - it seemed to be older than the others around it. We arrived early on a Friday so the tasting room was empty when we got there. The young lady working there, Sherona , was...
Rotta Winery was our first stop in Paso for wine tasting. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The wine was delicious, well worth the tasting fee. The property itself is very cute, with spectacular views. We visited during the week but heard the weekends are packed with lawn games, events, etc. Rotta is a definite recommendation for wine lovers!
We took a wine tour, and this was our 2nd stop. We were guided through a nice variety of wines half way through our tasting a huge group arrived our hostess did a great job of still making us feel special. My husband a self proclaimed "wine wimp" enjoyed the ports, and we bought a couple of bottles. I also...
We had driven for four hours and had stopped at a brewery and a winery before this place. We were looking for something quiet where we could enjoy a couple tastes of wine and unwind. (both places before were too crowded.) We are so glad to stumble upon Rotta!
Upon arrival we felt so at home and welcomed. It was...
We visited around noon on a Sunday. We had a toddler and our dog in tow and someone greeted us right away, and invited us inside even with the dog since it was so hot outside and they weren't yet that busy. We were down in the lower part of the property (their event space vs. the usual tasting room)...
Beautiful setting, great history and a staff that knows their stuff. We had a great tasting here and ended up leaving with a few bottles. Would go back in a heartbeat!
Wines are good and it is not too pricey. Purchase two bottles and tastings fees are waived. It is one of the oldest wineries (100+ years old).
I am limousine driver. Rotta was a nice place to go. It is was good. The new winemaker is now general manager too. The wine is wonderful. My clients like the personal knowledgeable service too. And...I really love their new chef made and inspired weekend lunches. Give it try. Please note I have their on business, with friends, and solo.
Worth the drive from Santa Barbara or San Francisco. The Syrah, Zinfindel and their sav blanc/ chardonny blend is awesome! Beautiful surroundings. Great tasting menu.

In 1972, Stephen King was a dirt-poor laundry worker, dreaming of a life in the lineage of American Realists from Dreiser to Robert Bloch. By night, in the furnace room, he banged out a serious novel: Carrie, the story of a persecuted high-school girl with psychic powers. It was bought for a near record sum in 1973 and filmed, by Brian De Palma, in 1976. Electrifyingly manipulative, garish and daring, its success sent a jolt through King's life.
That same year, he wrote The Shining, which in 1980 was gutted by Stanley Kubrick and Jack Nicholson for another film. By 1983, 40 million of his books were in print.
The acceleration was shattering. And King's dreams of literary acceptance were gone, dashed by papers like The Village Voice, which caricatured him as a dollar-typing weasel. Showered with riches and insults, he wrote. He hammered out novellas, novels, comic books, short stories, literary dissertations, haunted cars, biting clowns, mouldering children: 25 books by 1990. And in his rush, the even quality of his early work cracked. Before, he had just been a writer. But that was no longer true.
King was now read by people who read no one else, people astonished to find writing they could grasp. "I know the words in this book!" was a typical reaction. His original constituency, horror fans, observed him uncertainly, but others grabbed his books regardless, from supermarket bins and other low places. Film producers, too, snapped at the rights, although the consistent failure of these King adaptations was part of the reason that Hollywood turned away from horror until this year.
Still King's words were filmed, because what was being leeched was not money, but his name. By the mid-1980s, "STEPHEN KING" was no longer just a man who wrote books, but a phenomenon: a brand-name as comfortable as Levi's and (like that of his only cultural equivalent, Steven Spielberg) slapped on the front of films with which he had the vaguest connection. He could, he noted, now publish his own laundry list. In fact, he could do anything he wanted. What could he do?
He became someone else. In 1985, King revealed that, since the late 1970s, he had been releasing early novels under a pseudonym, Richard Bachman. "Bachman" was a misanthropic, violent ex-marine and, at King's insistence, his novels were released as "justplain books" - the unpretentious paperback originals to which, for all the speed and effort of his output, King had never been able to return, even in spirit. He had written more than the market could bear, he explained, and he wanted to test out his status: was he a bestseller from talent, or luck? In fact he had just finished a novel which he had hoped would give "Bachman" a shot at the big time before the secret came out.
In 1987, King published this novel under his real name. It was Misery, about a "serious" novelist, Paul Sheldon, who has fallen into writing bestsellers. Sheldon has just gleefully killed off the bodice-ripping heroine whom he resents for giving him fame, only to be snared and hobbled by the heroine's Number One Fan, who makes him write a new romance. As he types away at a narrative which should be absurd but which soon has him in its grip, Sheldon not only sustains himself, he also gives new life to the weary King.
King had fashioned Misery into a rivetingly post-modern horror story about the writing of a popular novel. He snatched his talent from the insane success that had seemed about to swallow it by making that very success his subject. And through Sheldon's return to popular fiction, he also fiercely embraced his own talent's mass appeal. In the teeth of derision, Misery was King's case for his defence.
He slammed the point home in The Dark Half. Begun, like Misery, as a Bachman book, The Dark Half was finished under King's name. In it, the "serious" writer Thad Beaumont disowns his bestselling pseudonym, George Stark, only for Stark to come to life andstart his own savage book. King had fictionalised his own predicament and turned it into art.
Even films now worked in his favour. Rob Reiner's movie version of Misery (1990) had the sense to strip the novel of its creative discursions in favour of its physical tension, boring in on Sheldon's helplessness. An enormous hit and Oscar-winner (for Kathy Bates as the Number One Fan), it eased millions into the book's strange spell. George Romero's The Dark Half (1992) was by comparison a failure, but its very existence served to cement mass acceptance of King's provocative new turn. In 1992 he sued for the removal of his name from The Lawnmower Man, at last finding a "Stephen King" film too dreadful even for him.
Dolores Claiborne followed, in 1992. For the first time since Different Seasons, a decade before, King abandoned horror and the resulting book was one of his very best. The confession of an abused wife, told in the voice of "plain folks", its shockingly stark tale of revenge was a revelation. Reviews showed surprised respect, discovering in the book's remorseless monologue the skills of a born novelist. King's vindication was upon him at last.
Given this background, The Shawshank Redemption shouldn't surprise anyone. In its seriousness and respect for its source novel, it merely adds to the march of slow acceptance that Misery began. Its wistfully brutal tone and even its words are his, in a way that only Rob Reiner's Stand by Me had come close to before. When a convict sighs of "time that draws out like a blade", and when Tim Robbins whispers, "Do you trust your wife?", it's King that you're hearing. Best of all, it brings King's narrative spell to the cinema, stripped of all encumbrance, spinning a tale that grips. "Plain fiction" it may be. Hamburgers it isn't.

About Me
Alright, it's time for an update of this profile. Sorry for jumping a bit across topics, this is more of a collection of things that are important to me rather than a coherent story.
Right now I am still trying to figure out who I am and where to find my place in this world. While I currently study scientific computing, I feel like this is not it, yet. I'm at a point in life with very little direction, which is scary yet exciting. There are many ideas around where my path may lead me, including becoming a carpenter in Japan.
Traveling helps me a whole lot to get to know myself because I also learn which culture I'm identifying with (which I don't really know yet either) and I very much enjoy any kind of intercultural exchange.
I am passionate about helping out other people and about building/creating things. I love being outside, in touch with nature. And I have a freshly developed interest in meditation of all kind, including Yoga and Tai Chi.
Also I really enjoy meeting new people and I believe that everyone has an interesting story to share. There are so many inspiring people out there and they are one of my greatest motivations. I prefer to get to know others one by one rather than meeting new people in a group because I value meaningful conversations more than superficial relationships.
Sometimes I enjoy to learn, to experience, to work for a goal. But then, also just living and enjoying the present seems like the only right thing.
I hate intolerance, disrespect and ... fences.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I had my first couchsurfing experiences in Argentina, where I stayed for one month and was hosted by several people all over the country. It was an amazing time and it is my preferred way of traveling!
Whenever I am home I'd happily receive some couchsurfers as well, although I have not yet hosted anyone.
I love to travel. And by traveling, I usually don't mean the regular tourist thing but I prefer to really get to know people and culture so what could be better than living with a local?
Also, I love coffee. And good music. And meditation.

Home > Press Release Archive >Ruth Scovill Appointed Acting Director of National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
Ruth Scovill has been appointed acting director of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) at the Library of Congress.
"I am pleased to announce that Ruth Scovill will serve as acting NLS director," said Deanna Marcum, associate librarian for Library Services. "Ms. Scovill, who will also continue to serve as director of Technology Policy in Library Services, has extensive experience in information technology and a knowledge and appreciation of NLS from her work with the digital talking-book system in 2008. She will work to assure a smooth transition for NLS until a permanent director is appointed."
Scovill follows longtime NLS director Frank Kurt Cylke, who retired from federal service on February 28. Appointed to his position in 1973, Cylke was known for his dedicated stewardship and service to the nation's libraries and blind and physically handicapped citizens. Under his leadership NLS earned a worldwide reputation for its commitment to quality, standards and cooperation among special-format libraries.
Cylke guided the NLS conversion from analog to digital technology, which included the launch of the NLS Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD) service in 2006 and digital talking books and players in 2009. During his four-decade tenure the program's readership increased 155 percent and circulation grew to more than 27 million audio and braille books and magazines. In the first of two awards Cylke received from the American Library Association, the association cited NLS as a "model of library cooperation and networking on a national level."
Scovill was the transition manager for the Library's successful establishment of the Packard Campus of the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center in Culpeper, Virginia. Before coming to the Library, she was president of Cinesite, a visual-effects company in the motion-pictures industry. Within her first year there, she doubled revenues and tripled output. Before leading Cinesite, Scovill was head of technology for DreamWorks Animation.
"I look forward to working at NLS and will strive to ensure a stable and seamless passage as NLS embarks on a nationwide search to find a permanent director," Scovill said.

Created as a trio in 1982, the band was formed by guitarist/vocalist Gustavo Cerati, bass player Zeta Bosio (born H+¬ctor Bosio), and drummer Charly Alberti (born Carlos Ficcichia). Their influence spread to the rest of Latin America during the band's heyday, and a successful reunion in 2007 proved the endurance of Soda Stereo's popular sound.

The leader and director of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has responded to an ogoing negotiation involving MEND, the Federal Government, and oil companies.
MEND had claimed the FG will release Kanu and other members of IPOB on the condition that they renounce their agitation for Biafra.
Well, Nnamdi Kanu has responded to that claim.
The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has said Kanu will not rescind his agitation for Biafra.
According to MASSOB, "Nnamdi Kanu never consented to any agreement.

"He not did not meet with MEND and their "Ahitophel Team (Not Aaron).
"It is understandable that MEND and their Ahithophel Team are scavenging for relevance from their moribund status.
"They should not use the sacred name of IPOB or its leader as a means of survival.
"MEND and their Ahitophel Team can conveniently carry out their 'Operation Absalom (Not Moses)' without dragging the name of IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu into those shenanigans.
"On the other hand, IPOB and their leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are in full support of any group of dedicated and hardcore freedom fighters such as the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA).
"We have stated unequivocally and without any fear of contradiction that we are fully in support of the NDA as they embark on freeing themselves from the British criminality called Nigeria.

"A contraption led by a man who committed treason on December 31, 1983.
"The restoration of the nation of Biafra is not subject to negotiation.
"If there should be any form of negotiation at all, it must be centered on asset sharing between Nigeria and Biafra.
"Also, it will be based on payment of reparations for money stolen from Biafrans by Nigeria through the 1970 twenty pounds deal and other subsequent acts of thievery by Nigeria against Biafrans.
"We want to make it categorically clear that MEND and their Ahitophel Team are strictly on their own.
"They do not in any way, shape or form represent IPOB or the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
"When we say 'Biafra or Death', we meant every syllable of that phrase," MASSOB said.
