After reaching great success for years on its desktop version, RealNetworks, Inc. launches its Android version with same expectations. Bear in mind though that this is a beta version and that they're working on improving any bug.
RealPlayer is a multimedia player: you can play music, videos and photos from the same app. The most notable feature is its good-looking and easy of use layout. It's divided in three large tabs: music (with 4 sub-tabs: artists, albums, genres, songs), playlist (supports all media files) and photos. It's well-organized and allows you fast access to your data.
What's more, you can manage your media files by sorting them or by organizing them with the playlist editor. It contains different size screen widgets that will let you manage your playlist from the desktop.
It isn't the most complete media player regarding customization (brightness, sound, etc). However, it has the basic features set in a good-looking and simple layout, for all audiences.
We're going to follow very closely its development to the stable version. But anyway, it's a simple and reliable choice so far if you're looking for a simple and good-looking media player.

Email them, tell them you live in/will be visiting Detroit and ask if you can purchase in person.but by the looks of it the site has been up only for about a month. Also the only way that you can pay them is through money order, which is NOT safe. BUT the prices on there are REALLY GOOD and I was just wondering if anyone has dealt with them or heard of them before? Well thanks and hope to hear what you all think. ;)

Two pieces ear tag with a bigger face compared to Adamak ear tag for writing digits and brand name with marker or laser machine. Made of high quality poly urethane, With metal tip or plastic male part. Demand color is producible.
Importance of tags for identifying animals especially in industrial farms is clear, where each animal has an ID card and all events of her life include treatments, insemination, birth, etc. have been written. So, being installed on ear & staying readable for whole life of the animal is necessary.
Polyurethane material is one of the best options to produce tags because of its chemical characteristic. This ear tag has been made of the best polyurethane and the quality will remain stable in all weather condition and Harsh Environments.
This High retention tag is very Flexible but Tear Resistance for highest performance.
Two pcs tags need a male part which can be in plastic or Metal tip. If the animal is supposed to be produced more than six months, using metal-tip male part highly recommended. Metal tip male tags are in poly urethane and obviously they have all mentioned benefits of a good ear tag, otherwise, economic price plastic male tag can be used.

The Gilded Chalet : Off-Piste in Literary Switzerland Hardback
by Padraig Rooney
Rainy summer of 1816. Paparazzi train their telescopes across Lake Geneva on the hanky-panky of Byron, Shelley and their womenfolk.
Mary Shelley is inspired to write Frankenstein. Byron diets and dashes off The Prisoner of Chillon while his doctor, 'Pollydolly', gives birth to The Vampyre.
Percy Shelley almost drowns in the lake. Together they put Switzerland on the literary map. From Caesar, Rousseau and the Romantics, from Conan Doyle to le Carre, Hesse and Highsmith writers have scratched their names on the Swiss chalet.
In the nineteenth century they came for fresh air, fresh milk and the sublime scenery, escaping tuberculosis and smog.
Switzerland became spa central, a place of health fads, luxury hotels and nude sunbathing.
Sherlock Holmes fell to his death only to be resurrected.
H. G. Wells thought he'd died and gone to heaven. Hermann Hesse had himself buried to the neck as a cure for alcoholism.
Thomas Mann wrote The Magic Mountain and lusted after the sailor suits. Neutral Switzerland became a haven in the twentieth century for Borges, Joyce, Remarque, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Nabokov and Highsmith. They wrote their classic works up some secluded valley, in a coldwater flat in Zurich or in a five-star hotel.
The Gilded Chalet took them in and gave them a suite with a view. Anarchists, spies and detectives came too. Sherlock Holmes, Maugham's Ashenden, Fleming's Bond, le Carre's spooks and double agents.
Glauser and Durrenmatt invented Swiss noir - not a chocolate but a style.
Behind the squeaky-clean facade, Swiss and foreign writers often found something rotten in the state.
Laundered art and money, the world's slush funds, daylight robbery. Switzerland's travel writers Maillart, Eberhardt, Schwarzenbach and Bouvier couldn't wait to make their escape to a bigger air and a warmer climate.
The Gilded Chalet is crammed with old lederhosen and new butterflies, spas and spies, fool's gold and numbered accounts. Part detective work, part treasure chest, full of history and scandal, award-winning writer Padraig Rooney takes you on a grand tour of two centuries of great writing by both Swiss and foreign authors and shows how Switzerland has always been at the centre of literary Europe.

PDip Actuarial Science
University of Kent, School of Mathematics, Statistics & Actuarial Science
PDip Actuarial Science
A firm foundation for studying more advanced actuarial subjects...
Covering the core skills and technical actuarial knowledge required to make a career in industry, the Actuarial Science PDip programme enables you to gain exemptions from subjects CT1 to CT8 of the UK Actuarial Profession's examinations. It could cut short the time taken to qualify as an actuary by as much as three years. Optional modules include training in the use of PROPHET, the industry's leading actuarial software package.
Our Postgraduate Diploma in Actuarial Science, MSc in Applied Actuarial Science and International Master's are all fully accredited by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries; they also provide a fast-track route to qualifying as an actuary, because students who achieve a high enough overall mark in these programmes can obtain exemptions from the professional examinations included within their studies.
Course structure
The PDip covers the syllabus of the Core Technical Stage of the professional examinations and offers exemptions from eight subjects (subjects CT1 to CT8 inclusive). Although you only need to take 120 credits (equivalent to a minimum of four subjects leading to the professional examinations) for the Diploma, you can take further subjects for exemption purposes. If you take fewer than 120 credits, you may be eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate in Actuarial Science.
Assessment is usually by a mixture of coursework and examination; exact weightings vary from module to module.

Former AWB boss denies knowing of kickbacks
Reporter: Michael Edwards
TONY JONES: The Cole Inquiry heard today from the man it's describing as its star witness - the former AWB chairman Trevor Flugge. As many as five of his AWB colleagues have claimed he was aware that the wheat exporter had paid kickbacks to Iraq, but today he denied any knowledge of bribes, saying he was just a figurehead within AWB - a man simply there to open doors. It's also been revealed Mr Flugge was paid almost $1 milllion for his work in Iraq on behalf of the Australian Government. Michael Edwards has this report.

Food March Madness with Where the Locals Eat
The website Where the Locals Eat wants people to pick "America's favorite food" through an online game that pitches 64 dishes like burgers, sushi, pizza and nachos head-to-head against each other in brackets. You know, like they do for the NCAA basketball tournament except there's no real playing of any sort going on here.
Couldn't people just have voted for their all-time favorite food? We suppose that would've taken away the fun.
The winner of each match-up is the food item that was picked the most as the winner of that bracket. So, if more people picked the bratwurst over the grilled cheese, the bratwurst moves to the next round.
If you're into this type of thing, the grand prize for the person who scores the most points is an Apple iPad. Picks must be entered by March 19 at 6 p.m. and the winner will be announced on March 31. More info here.

text: There was a time when MNF had some real good matchups for the primetime NFL fan during the 70's/80's/90's on a consistant basis. These days it's turned into a showcase for garbage matchups with teams that were not relevant the season before or some ESPN idiot bidding on scheduled games on teams he/she THINKS will be relevant because of last years performance. In the current NFL, teams are on a up and down rollercoaster ride between seasons because of the high rate of players/coaches moving between teams in the salary cap era so I understand it's hard to predict year in and year out on what team will be relevant the current year. Now I get having the Giants on since they have a track record in recent years of being in the thick of things (and winning two Super Bowls in six years). But what the hell are the Vikings doing on MNF??? Yes they did make the playoffs or I should say backed in since Chicago and Detroit decided to pull their annual late season nosedives. But why not schedule a game like this earlier in the season when the potential scrubbs are still in the hunt? For reference here are the 10 worst MNF games in history and guess what came at #1 Minnesota Vikings (1-4) at New York Giants (0-6), 10-21-13 [1-10 combined, 0.091 win pct] New York Jets (3-9) at San Diego (1-11), 12-15-75 [4-20 combined, 0.167 win pct] New York Giants (3-7) at Houston (1-9), 11-21-94 [4-16 combined, 0.200 win pct] Baltimore (1-6) at New England (2-5), 11-6-72 [3-11 combined, 0.214 win pct] Cincinnati (1-5) at Pittsburgh (2-4), 11-2-70 [3-9 combined, 0.250 win pct] Chicago (1-5) at Detroit (2-4), 10-19-81 [3-9 combined, 0.250 win pct] Buffalo (3-3) at Indianapolis (0-6), 10-20-97 [3-9 combined, 0.250 win pct] Carolina (2-8) at Philadelphia (3-7), 11-26-12 [5-15 combined, 0.250 win pct] San Francisco (4-11) at Atlanta (4-11), 01-02-00 [8-22 combined, 0.267 win pct] Green Bay (3-10) at Baltimore (4-9), 12-19-05 [7-19 combined, 0.269 win pct] Are you ready for some football?

The intermediaries would need to submit scanned copies of investor documents to the KRAs and retain the physical documents with themselves. However, physical documents would need to be submitted, whenever KRAs demand them
Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has done away with the submission of physical documents by investors to the KYC Registration Agencies (KRAs) in favour of the electronic format only. The move is seen as an attempt to streamline the process of "Know Your Client" (KYC) procedures.
The intermediaries, including mutual funds, would need to submit scanned copies of investor documents to the KRAs and retain the physical documents with themselves.
However, the physical documents would need to be submitted, whenever KRAs demand them.
So far, KRAs—which are responsible for maintaining KYC records across all SEBI-regulated entities—were required to maintain the original KYC documents, both in physical as well as electronic formats.
To minimise the physical paperwork, SEBI has now amended its KRA regulations, allowing the market intermediaries to keep the original investor documents in physical form with them and submit only the scanned copies to the KRAs.
"The intermediary shall perform the initial KYC/due diligence of the client, upload the KYC information with proper authentication on the system of the KRA, furnish the scanned images of the KYC documents to the KRA, and retain the physical KYC documents," SEBI said.
Even in cases of any change in investor KYC details, the market intermediaries would retain the updated documents in physical form with themselves.
As per the new norms, all market intermediaries and agents (RTI and STA) acting on behalf of mutual funds would also have to submit only scanned KYC documents to KRAs.
However, the intermediaries and mutual funds would have to furnish the physical KYC documents or authenticated copies, whenever desired by the KRAs, SEBI said.
If the Nifty holds today's low and closes above 5,675, the market will head higher
The market settled lower as continued political uncertainties at the Centre ignited fresh worries about fate of the fiscal reforms of the government. If the Nifty holds today's low and closes above 5,675, the market will head higher. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) reported a volume of 68.24 crore shares and advance-decline of 567:971.
The Indian market opened in the positive on supportive global cues and assurance by finance minister P Chidambaram on Saturday that the government would relax rules for foreign investors in government and corporate bonds next month. Markets in Asia were mostly higher as Cyprus managed to broker a deal with international lenders, thus avoiding a collapse of its banking system.
The Nifty opened 56 points higher at 5,707 and the Sensex gained 158 points over its previous close to resume trade at 18,894. Buying in realty, consumer durables, oil & gas and state run companies helped the market hit its intraday high in initial trade itself. At this point the Nifty touched 5,718 and the Sensex rose to 18,950.
Profit taking at higher levels saw the benchmarks paring part of their gains and trading sideways in the morning session. The indices continued to remain range-bound in noon trade as optimism from the global markets boosted investor sentiment back here.
However, the market which started the day on a firm note sank into the red around 2.00pm as political tensions came to the fore once again. The Samajwadi Party threatened to withdraw support to the UPA government at the Centre. Concerns of an early election derailing the reforms push worried investors. The development led the benchmarks to their lows in the last hour of trade. The Nifty fell to 5,624 and the Sensex went back to 18,655 at their respective lows.
Erasing all its gains in the late session, the market closed in the negative for the seventh day in a row. The Nifty fell 18 points (0.31%) to 5,634 and the Sensex closed the session at 18,681, down 54 points (0.29%).
The broader indices underperformed the Sensex today, as the BSE Mid-cap index declined 0.32% and the BSE Small-cap index dropped 0.80%.
The top sectoral gainers were BSE Realty (up 0.79%); BSE Power (up 0.56%); BSE Oil & Gas (up 0.49%); BSE Consumer Durables (up 0.43%) and BSE PSU (up 0.20%). The main losers were BSE Capital Goods (down 1.44%); BSE Auto (down 0.78%); BSE Metal (down 0.71%); BSE Bankex (down 0.66%) and BSE Fast Moving Consumer Goods (down 0.41%).
Nine of the 30 stocks on the Sensex closed in the positive. The major gainers were ONGC (up 2.96%); NTPC (up 2.04%); HDFC (up 1.16%); Dr Reddy's Laboratories (up 0.77%) and Hindustan Unilever (up 0.72%). The chief losers were Hero MotoCorp (down 2.42%); Tata Steel (down 2.28%); Larsen & Toubro (down 2.19%); Bharti Airtel (down 1.95%) and GAIL India (down 1.94%).
The top two A Group gainers on the BSE were—GMR Infrastructure (up 9.52%) and Essar Oil (up 8.44%).
The top two A Group losers on the BSE were—MMTC (down 4.93%) and Unitech (down 4.18%).
The top two B Group gainers on the BSE were—Filatex India (up 20%) and KEW Industries (up 18.50%).
The top two B Group losers on the BSE were—Wim Plast (down 19.77%) and Gennex Laboratories (down 19.27%).
Of the 50 stocks on the Nifty, 20 ended in the green. The key gainers were DLF (up 5.04%); NTPC (up 2.05%); BPCL (up 2.04%); Power Grid Corporation (1.76%) and ONGC (up 1.74%). The top losers were Bank of Baroda (down 2.81%); Hero MotoCorp (down 2.75%); L&T (down 2.57%); Tata Steel (down 2.52%) and IDFC (down 2.34%).
Markets in Asia, with the exception of the Shanghai Composite, closed in the green following the positive outcome of the Cyprus bailout deal. The deal clears the way for 10 billion euros ($13 billion) of emergency loans and moves Cyprus toward avoiding the threat of default.
The Hang Seng advanced 0.61%; the Jakarta Composite surged 1.16%; the KLSE Composite climbed 1.04%; the Nikkei 225 jumped 1.69%; the Straits Times gained 0.385; the Seoul Composite surged 1.49% and the Taiwan Weighted settled 0.77% higher. Bucking the trend, the Shanghai Composite shed 0.07%.
At the time of writing, the key European indices were trading with gains between 0.87% and 1.67% and the US stock futures were in the positive, indicating a green opening for US stocks later in the day.
Back home, institutional investors—both foreign as well as domestic—were net sellers in the equities segment on Friday. While FIIs pulled out Rs14.20 crore from stocks, DIIs withdrew Rs135.57 crore on the same day.
Pharma major Venus Remedies today announced launch of its stress reliever over the-counter (OTC) product 'Ezenus' in domestic market, aiming to capture 5% of $100 million market in the stress segment within the next three years. The stock fell 0.74% to close at Rs240.90 on the NSE.
Fertiliser and seeds company Zuari Agro Chemicals today said it has shut down its plants for scheduled annual maintenance. The company has a manufacturing facility at Goa, with four plants dedicated to manufacturing of urea, DAP and NPK based fertilisers. The stock declined 4.94% to close at Rs147.25 on the NSE.
Cairn India today began natural gas sales from its prolific Rajasthan block on borders with Pakistan even as it put another oilfield in the area on production. Cairn and its 30% joint venture partner ONGC will initially produce about 5 million standard cubic feet per day (0.15 million metric standard cubic meters per day) of gas, which will go up to a maximum of 1 mmscmd by next year. The stock shed 0.04% to close at Rs277.20 on the NSE.
SEBI's new regulation on illiquid stocks will have an adverse impact on equity markets in India and could alienate current and future investors
Illiquidity in many micro- and small-cap stocks has always been of a serious concern to the small Indian investor and is one of the reasons why manipulation is so rampant. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) houses a lot of such companies but both SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) and BSE do nearly nothing about it. SEBI has finally come up with a harebrained idea to combat manipulation by taking action on illiquid stocks which will take effect from 1 April 2013.
SEBI, India's securities market watchdog, may have shot itself in the foot yet again, when it plans to regulate illiquid stocks. Its earnest effort to curb manipulation, while laudable, may have damaging effects on the long term future of Indian equities market. Vide the circular CIR/MRD/DP/6/2013, issued on 14 February 2013, it plans to introduce trading through periodic call auction for illiquid scrips.
SEBI's has taken the term illiquidity to a whole new level. According to the watchdog, an illiquid stock is a stock that satisfied one or more of the following criteria:
1. The average daily trading volume of a scrip in a quarter is less than 10,000;
2. The average daily number of trades is less than 50 in a quarter;
3. The scrip is classified at illiquid at all exchanges where it is traded.
Let us assume that a stock XYZ is quoting at Rs500. So, in order for it to be a 'liquid' stock, it ought to have an average trading value of Rs50 lakh (Rs500 x 10,000; assuming share price does not move). However, on the other hand, if the share price of another stock, say PQR, is valued 50 paise, then the average value is Rs5,000 (0.50 x 10,000). It must be noted that majority of the manipulation happens in the micro-cap segment (and are often called "penny stocks"). This means a stock valued at 50 paise has a higher probability of being rigged than a stock valued at Rs500. After all, a promoter or market player needs just Rs5,000 to influence the price in the normal market and make it 'liquid'. Remember, sometimes even great and well-run companies can be illiquid. So, if well-run companies are put into a separate trading bracket, there will be a stigma or label attached to them.
For a long time, Moneylife has been covering stocks on manipulation, especially those stocks which tend to be 'illiquid' under SEBI's current criteria. You can check out the Unquoted section in our Moneylife magazine every fortnight. You can also check it on our website over here. We even carried an exclusive cover story last year devoted to stock price manipulation and how ineffectual our market regulators have been. We had found out that regulators and exchanges had not even taken action on errant companies, even those who have committed blunders in the past. Sometimes, all it requires is basic monitoring skills to nab such companies. SEBI has, instead of tackling the problem on manipulation head-on and investigating each situation on a case-by-case basis by using its expensive (funded by taxpayers' money) so called IMSS surveillance system, targeted 'illiquid' stocks.
More pertinently is what could possibly happen during the call auction. According to the circular, it states: "The call auction duration shall be one hour, of which 45 minutes shall be allowed for order entry, order modification and order cancellation, eight minutes shall be for order matching and trade confirmation and remaining seven minutes shall be a buffer period for closing the current session and facilitating the transition to next session. The session shall close randomly during the last one minute of the order entry between the 44th and 45th minute. Such random closure shall be system driven."
What happens during the eight minutes is crucial. There is bound to be frenetic trading coupled with quick order modification and such. It is very difficult to skillfully place an order within a short frame of time let alone modify it. Some brokers may even refuse to trade in such scrips fearing that market regulators will be onto them for rigging. Some may even decline their customers' orders on similar grounds. A combination of all this will exacerbate the liquidity scenario. This is also antithesis of free market capitalism where brokers and customers are free to place an order at their time of liking instead of the stipulated eight minute window.
According to the circular, it was SEBI's Secondary Market Advisory Committee (SMAC) who came upon the call auction idea. The circular states: "SMAC also made recommendation on the introduction of trading through periodic call auction mechanism for illiquid scrips in the equity market." Once this regulation is put into force, the most affected party will be BSE where majority of the thinly traded stock takes place.
Ashishkumar Chauhan, managing director and chief executive officer of BSE, sits on the SMAC committee. According to SEBI website, the SMAC committee consists of the following 'experts' who advocated this scheme:
• Ms Maninder Cheema, deputy general manager, Market Regulation Department, Division of Policy, SEBI

So now that nearly a day has passed since the Ravens' first preseason game, how has it settled in?
The overall result was nice - a 31-17 win over the Falcons where the second- and third-teamers had their way with their opponents' players of the same level. That's a positive.
The part of the game that mattered, however, had to feel a little troubling. It's way too early to read into it and there are lots of reasons to just throw it out, but the top offensive unit was ineffective and the top defensive unit wasn't the least bit dominant.
To be fair, the first-team defense wasn't close to full strength with Ray Lewis and Courtney Upshaw among those not playing. The first-team offense didn't have the same excuse.
Primarily intact, Joe Flacco, Ray Rice and Co. couldn't convert a first down in the opening quarter and were left in the game for the first drive of the second quarter just to try to take something good from Game 1.
They finished with a plus, moving 77 yards in 11 plays for a Flacco-to-Ed Dickson touchdown.
Back to the negative, however - Dickson suffered a sprained shoulder in the contest and reports indicate he could be out for the rest of the preseason. So that's Dickson and Dennis Pitta (broken hand) down atop the tight end depth chart? Not good for a team that already is working with a new-look offensive line.
There were some standout performances:
* Quarterback Tyrod Taylor looked more polished than a year ago, passing for 64 yards and running five times for 51 more.
* Wideout Deonte Thompson, a rookie free agent out of Florida, made three catches for 53 yards and a touchdown.
* Tailback Bobby Rainey, a rookie free agent out of Western Kentucky, rushed for 36 yards and caught three passes for 28 yards and a touchdown.
* Linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo made four tackles and an interception.
* Safety Omar Brown, yet another rookie free agent, had an interception and a fumble recovery.
All in all, not an awful first day. There might be some finds in there. But there appear to be some kinks to work out atop the roster and a little more than a month to do so.

eiConsole Tutorial Basic
Using Transports (Adapters)
In the eiConsole a "Transport" is another type of adapter. The role of the Transports is to accept a transaction, send it (to file, to HTTP, or to whatever communications form they use), and then mark that transaction as completed. Transports are the eiConsole components that are used to transmit data using a variety of protocols to the desired Target systems. Transports are configured in exactly the same manner as Listeners. Generally the transport types are about the same as the Listeners. There are, however, a few Transports for which there are no corresponding Listeners, and vice-versa, generally they come in pairs.
Note: to view all the eiConsole Transports, click Available Transport Types.
Using Transports
In order to configure a Transport you must have a corresponding Target system defined. To add a Target system where one doesn't exist, click the Add Target icon.
Select the desired Transport Type from the Transport Type dropdown.
The Transport Name is given automatically, but you have an option to change it. The Transport name should be something user friendly that helps you to understand what the Transport accomplishes. We recommend to use the name provided.
To add additional Transports click the Add Target button at the top. Repeat the previous process and select a Transport Type from the drop down menu. Here we selected Command Line. Enter a name in the Transport Name field.
Each Transport Type has its own corresponding configuration. You can find more information about specific transports following the linked sub-sections below.

Hey Everyone,
curious if being a spiceworks partner would ever become part of your Vendor selection process?
10 Replies
Jun 28, 2010 at 12:37 UTC
I would consider it a balance tipping factor. If I was looking at two vendors that were comparable on major factors such as price, service, quality of account manager being a SpiceWorks partner would tip the scales and break the tie. Of course for many of my key vendors such as HP and CDW they are already SpiceWorks partners which is just icing on the cake.
Jun 28, 2010 at 12:43 UTC
I second what Justin said. I couldn't improve on it in the least.
Jun 28, 2010 at 2:28 UTC
It already has.
Jun 28, 2010 at 2:31 UTC
What do you mean Paul?
Jun 28, 2010 at 2:43 UTC
I moved the majority of my purchases from a local VAR to CDW due in part to their high visiblity here. SW is an integral part of my system management tools and I love the price...:) so, to do my little part to keep IT free, I'm doing business with SW advertisers.
Jun 28, 2010 at 3:46 UTC
Paul & Justin - We thank you for giving CDW the opportunity to earn your business. We also appreciate that you recognize and value the work that CDW does with the Spiceworks community.

Paul & Justin - We thank you for giving CDW the opportunity to earn your business. We also appreciate that you recognize and value the work that CDW does with the Spiceworks community.
You're welcome.....I would also like to give my account rep, Ashley Gard, a shout-out. She is a great asset to your company. Please pass the word along to the powers that be........
Jun 29, 2010 at 1:05 UTC
I've been working with Mark Gray as an account manager and he has been phenomonel. He earns my business and my loyalty every time we work on something together.
I wouldn't use a company that didn't deliver just because they were a SpiceWorks partnet, but when a partner is also a great company like CDW it makes it very easy for me to give them my business and shout their praises in the community. The fact that CDW is involved here shows that the company is committed to the SMB market sector.
Jun 29, 2010 at 3:23 UTC
Paul - I have passed along your kind words to Ashley, her manager and all the way up the chain! Its great for all of us at CDW to hear what a great job someone is doing.
Jun 29, 2010 at 3:28 UTC
Justin - I have reached out to Mark, his manager and also up the chain to pass along your praises!
Thanks for your loyalty and support.

- Recent service from Hendrick Porsche
In 2002, it had been over seven years since a vehicle in the Porsche line up had featured a V-8 as the power plant. The last of which was the 1995 Porsche 928 that left the factory with a 5.4L V8. Porsche made the decision that with the creation of their new SUV platform they would reintroduce the V8 in their lineup. Porsche is a brand name that is synonymous with luxury and performance, so the new SUV platform would have to be capable, powerful, and luxurious to compete with the already crowded SUV market.
Porsche's venture into the SUV market wasn't for naught, as the Cayenne quickly received great reviews and established a following of people who swore by the Cayenne platform. This 2008 Cayenne is a supreme example as to why so many choose the Cayenne over Porsche's competitors. At only 5 years old and a recent service from Hendrick Porsche in Charlotte, NC, this Cayenne GTS shows like it is brand new, features over 400 horsepower, and displays a stunning luxurious interior.
It starts with the body that is covered in an aggressive coat of Carmon Red Metallic and features a head-turning look that is lost on most SUV's of today. At the front of the body you have a massive grille located just below the famous Porsche emblem on the center of the nose. The emblem is flanked on both sides by large headlights that seamlessly blend into the front fenders. As you make your way down the body you'll notice a large luggage rack on the roof, and black trim that accents the dark red paint. At the back of the SUV you'll notice a modest rear spoiler above the back door that opens automatically with a touch of the handle. Below the rear glass is the Cayenne GTS badging, and the quad chrome exhaust tips that finish off the look.
Lift the hood on this Porsche SUV and you'll reveal the 4.8L direct injected V8 that pumps out a potent 405 horsepower. The engine bay, like the rest of the car, is extremely clean and makes use of all the available space. The 4.8L V8 features an aluminum block, aluminum heads, and is combined with a 6-speed Porsche 'Tiptronic' automatic transmission. The combination is good for a 0-60 time in 6 seconds flat, and if you could control yourself behind the wheel the GTS you can achieve nearly 20mpg. 400 horsepower and 20mpg, it doesn't get much better than that!
Underneath the GTS is just as impressive as the rest of the vehicle. For the suspension you'll find an adjustable air ride independent front and rear suspension that offers three different suspension modes – comfort, normal, and sport. If those three aren't enough the driver can also adjust the air suspension manually from the cockpit. The all-wheel drive vehicle is slowed by 4-wheel power disc brakes with 4-wheel ABS. The entire vehicle rides on 5-spoke Cayenne Sport Alloy rims that have been wrapped in Continental CrossContact tires.
The Cayenne GTS was advertised as being a luxury SUV and when you take a seat in the driver's seat you really get a first-hand view of all the luxuries available to you. The Sand Beige leather interior is stunning and one of the most comfortable manufacturer stock seats we have ever sat in. Both of the front seats are 8-way power adjustable that includes a memory function to remember the ideal settings. In front of the driver is a leather steering wheel that has cruise and radio controls on the wheel. Beyond the wheel is a standard instrument cluster with a digital readout in the center. Between the two drivers is an upgraded and brand new Kenwood touchscreen digital interface that features a 6.95 inch monitor with navigation, bluetooth connectivity, and built-in AM/FM/SiriusXM/HD radio. Just below that is the shifter for the six-speed automatic and the controls for the air-ride independent suspension. Above the driver is a nice sun roof, while behind the two front seats is the rear bench seat capable of housing 3 more passengers. Beyond the two rear seats is a spacious cargo area that features 19 square feet of space.
The sale of this 2008 Cayenne includes:
- The original owner's manual
- US navigation DVD
- Operation manuals
- Stack of receipts of recent service from Hendrick Porsche Charlotte
Make no mistake, The Cayenne platform is not just another soccer mom's SUV. Rather this SUV packs over 400 horsepower under the hood and will go 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, not too bad for a vehicle that weighs close to 5,000lbs. If you are looking for a comfortable and luxurious way to haul the significant other, kids, and family pet, but still want plenty of power waiting under your right foot, then this is the SUV for you. Don't miss your chance to take home this 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS.

Actually I asked the question because I already made the tests. Basically it works (anonymous connection) but when I try to see jcr:system nodes I get a serious error: 18.05.2005 17:43:18 *WARN * [http-8080-Processor25] WebdavRequestImpl: Error while building xml document from request body: Error on line -1: Premature end of file.

(I can say this is quite rare to reboot a Mac :) ) At the same time I checked it was not a bug in Tiger and tried with Slide which works perfectly.

"Sometimes I wake at night in the White House and rub my eyes and wonder if it is not all a dream." - Grover Cleveland
For over two centuries, the capital of America has been located in Washington, D.C. And among all the iconic landmarks and monuments associated with the city, nothing provides symbolism quite like the White House, the primary residence and office of the president. The instantly recognizable exterior, and its location, have ensured that the White House is associated as the main seat of power in the world's most powerful country.
At the same time, the majesty of the White House and its tranquil setting belie its rather chaotic history, which includes being burned down by the British during the War of 1812, suffering damage during wild inaugural balls, and undergoing countless renovations. As Brian Kelly, author of Best Little Stories from the White House: More Than 100 True Stories, put it, "You could almost argue, in fact, that it wasn't finished, truly, until yesterday. And...who knows what they may do to it tomorrow, as it has undergone so many changes, additions, improvements, and even subtractions in its 200-year history. The fact is, the White House we see today is not the White House of yore."
Just as the interior has changed, the use of the White House has also changed considerably over time. The White House was always intended to serve as the president's home and a place to receive dignitaries. But in the early 19th century the White House was open to the public, to the extent that people could simply call on the president.
©2012 Charles River Editors (P)2015 Charles River Editors
"Interesting and informative...."
I received this audio book as a gift for me to read / listen to and leave a review about. This book is about the history of the White House and who all lived in it. So many questions get answered when you listen to this story. Did you know John Adams was the first president to live in the White House? It took over eight years to even build the White House. Read along and discover the who's who list of visitors, who decorated it, who added on to it and so on...
This book was way more interesting than I thought it would be. The author, Charles River Editors did fine job in writing this. It sure makes for great conversation when the subject comes up. The narrator did a super job delivering this story to us. His voice is smooth and easy on the ears. He sounds a lot like the narrator on Discovery Channel or History Channel. The voice has a certain somethin' somethin' that just makes you pay attention!
"An interesting read"
I'd like to think that I retained a lot of what i learned in school, but i don't remember learning about half of the things that happened to the white house. I love mixing in one of these non-fiction books when i finish my novels. A really interesting listen that taught me more about the white house then i could ever want to know. The attention to detail is second to none!
I am a wee bit over the half a century mark in years. I enjoy audiobooks,cats,rats and most days my family,not necessarily in that order!lo
"The White House"
This was a well researched and well written history of the most famous house in the United States.It starts,well,at the beginning.We learn the thoughts behind whether there should be a house for the President as well as why it took so many years to complete.I really enjoyed the narration by Jack Chekijian.He was masterful in his telling of the story.<br/>"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com."
"A fount of information"
Lots of information, but sometimes hard to follow as not always presented in a logically sequential manner. But it could have been. No smooth flow here.
JC did his usual fine job of interpretation. His is a pleasant voice tone with good cadencing. Be sure to find and enjoy his other works done for Charles River Editors.
I love listening to audiobooks with my three compadres: two sweet tabby cats and a Great Dane!
"The People's House Built by Our Founding Fathers"
and Mothers.
I especially enjoyed listening to all the history that went into the building of The White House. From Washington choosing the perfect location and the cornerstone being laid in 1792 to the occupation during the War of 1812, this audiobook is a veritable timeline of events that occurred bringing the 'People's House' into the 21st century.
I found the mention of L'Enfant's planning of this first meridian interesting. And hearing about the expansive gardens was neat including the garden with rare botanical specimens for medicinal use in the infirm.
I love the role that Dolly Madison took in furnishing the house and creating a drawing room for entertaining as well as hosting fundraisers and charitable organizations. When the house was set on fire, she received credit for saving the famous painting of George Washington. Jackie Kennedy was another First Lady who had a lot to do with the preservation of the White House.
This was a terrific listen as a reminder or a refresher course of our history of the White House. It wasn't all that long ago that this took place.
Jack Chekijian always does a fantastic job narrating. I've especially liked this series of audiobooks. They're truly gems to listen to and make me want to learn more about pieces of our possibly forgotten history.
Audiobook received in exchange for an honest review.
Avid reader (listener) and Audible Fan!
"Informative and Interesting"
Really enjoyed this short and delightful book about our WHITE HOUSE. Some facts were new to me, many I enjoyed hearing again, and all very interesting. I laughed out loud at laundry in the East Room and was reminded how much I love and admire Dolly Madison.
Highly recommended.
"Not worth an audiobook credit"
Some interesting history here, but very little narrative connecting a bunch of historical accounts. Not a good listen, maybe a good coffee table book, or something classy in a waiting room. The narrator is boring, but it's probably more the material than the performance.

from http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/wayne-dyers-cancer-journey-from-denial-to-love
"Dr. Dyer says that he never uses words like fight or attack or win when
it comes to cancer because he believes that everything we fight weakens
us and everything we support empowers us"
Dr. Wayne Dyer said that about his leukemia but I think that is a great attitude to take towards any disease including dementia!
I realize the popular view is that dementia is a terrible thing and that the right thing to do it to "fight" it but I have always disliked works like "fight" and "enemy," etc. Dr. Dyer's words simply feel right to me. I believe we should do all we can to support our body's optimal functioning and accept whatever happens as a venue for our spiritual growth instead of something to be upset about.

¡De fiesta en la noche de los EMMY!
Los pormenores de la noche del Emmy en la fiesta de la cadena multipremiada, HBO (inglés).
"It's a school night," laughed Tom Hanks at the HBO party, clutching his best miniseries trophy for HBO's historical JOHN ADAMS. He was only half kidding.
