I bought the seat covers for my Ford Edge, my son put them on Christmas Eve for me. They fit very tight, no wrinkles, no gaps. This is great for the coverage and look but wow are they difficult to get on. That said...I would buy them again. They have already paid off. The 8 year old grandson....need I say more?

Girls Rock MKE is an all volunteer run organization. These are the folks that dedicate their time and efforts year round!
Valeri Lucks, Co-Founder/Executive Director
Valeri has loved music since she was a little girl secretly spinning country records on her dad's record player. When she discovered garage bands and punk rock in her formative years, she fell for music even harder. She took formal piano lessons throughout childhood and is about to start learning to play the fiddle in the hopes that someday she can be in a honky tonk band. Growing up in Chicago, her parents always told her she could be anything she wanted to be. She was raised to believe women were strong, smart and could change the world! When she's not organizing Girls Rock Milwaukee, Valeri runs her restaurants, makes really good pie, rides her horse JJ and goes on long road trips with her dog Jess. Valeri decided to start Girls Rock Milwaukee because she believes music is one of the best ways for a girl to find out who she is and to share it with the world.
Ashley Smith, Co-Founder/Creative Director
Ashley grew up in a musical family. Her mother was always writing and singing original songs on the piano. With a little persuasion her father will croon like the best of 'em. Her brother was always playing the drums and now makes original beats while dreaming of being a producer. It's in the blood. When Ashley found the underground music scene in high school, everything changed. Music became her whole life. She sings in local bands and enjoys supporting Milwaukee's local music scene. When she isn't organizing Girls Rock Milwaukee, Ashley is involved with organizing both Hover Craft and Maker Market. She also enjoys buying and selling vintage clothing, watching horror movies with her husband, and eating pizza. Ashley wanted to help organize Girls Rock Milwaukee because there is nothing more powerful than music and nothing more inspiring than girls playing it!
Ron Starke, Managing Director
At the age of seven, Ron discovered his older brothers' records left behind in the basement. He was a painfully shy kid but hearing those strange and huge sounds pouring out of those dark discs changed his world. Growing up, music became part of his daily diet. He would spend hours glued to MTV, listening to radio shows late on a school night, obsessing over mix tapes and seeing as many concerts as his allowance would allow. However, it wasn't until he had the courage to take to the stage and sing in his first band that Ron fully understood how music can help a shy, quiet kid find his voice. These days, Ron gets to share his steady diet of music with his amazing wife and still wrecks chords on his guitar writing and singing songs. Ron is honored to be a part of Girls Rock and to have the chance to help other shy, quiet kids find their voice and rock out!

Game development legend Will Wright has created some of the most successful franchises on the planet. Games like SimCity, SimAnt and The Sims franchise have produced billions of dollars in revenue. There probably isn't a person on the planet who hasn't played or at least heard of a game that Wright has been behind. What people don't immediately think of when they think Will Wright, is Spore – can't imagine why.
Wright has been busy setting up new think tank companies (the Stupid Fun Club) and toying with TV show ideas. On top of all of that, however, he's been thinking about his new game idea. It's called HiveMind and it sounds like the musings of a mad scientist.
Falling into a genre that's been dubbed "personal gaming", HiveMind aims to put players at the centre of the experience. Ordinarily people adjust their daily activities around gaming, but HiveMind adjusts the game around you instead.
Wright is not keen to elaborate too much on his new game, but it sounds as if it borrows elements from social games and augmented reality apps like Foursquare. In an exclusive interview with website VentureBeat, Wright gave a little bit of insight into what direction he's headed.
"Rather than craft a game like FarmVille for players to learn and play, we learn about you and your routines and incorporate that into a form of game play… How can we make a system that understands enough about you and gives you situational awareness? It could take into account what time of day it is, where you are, how much money is in your pocket. Imagine if you could open Google Maps and it shows you things that are interesting to you on the map."
HiveMind will rely on data mining information about the player. While that might immediately set off privacy alarm bells in many, Wright believes that the younger generations are more than willing to divulge personal information about themselves, if it leads to some form of entertainment. The premise is about finding out what you enjoy, and then directing you to real-world events and locations that tie into the information you've provided. This will all undergo "gamification" so that HiveMind plays like a game with underlying social elements and lifestyle applications. "With that data, the world and the opportunities for entertainment within it become more visible to you," is the way Wright explains it.
Linking with your friends and using their knowledge to solve in-game and real world problems will also play a role. Your HiveMind friends might be able to assist you in getting real world tasks accomplished, which would then translate into in-game benefits.
It all sounds like a mash-up of FarmVille, Foursqaure and Fitocracy mixed with a healthy dose of Big Brother. It's almost as if Wrights gone full-circle: The Sims allowed us to control virtual people, and now HiveMind is going to control us as real people. I think I might be afraid.

You must see these astounding photos of a Japanese park with 4.5 million flowers
The number 4.5 million is a big number to anyone familiar with math. In fact 4.5 million of anything is actually scary to picture, especially if it's clowns. But consider the fact that there is an incredible park in Japan that has 4.5 million flowers.
The flower refuge is called the Hitachi Seaside Park and it's located in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki. Many of the staggering 4.5 million flowers are baby-blue nemophilas and typically blossom in April.
Thousands of tourists flock to the park every spring to see the baby blues in their best form. The park also has brilliantly landscaped tulips that are colorfully laid out. During the fall, the flowers then turn a pinkish red color that still looks utterly spectacular.

Northern Irishman earns a landslide decision victory over former TUF veteran Josh Clarke to capture world championship gold at the 3Arena.
Belfast's Karl Moore was crowned the Cage Warriors light-heavyweight champion of the world after dominating a bloody war with former TUF veteran Josh Clark at the 3Arena, Dublin.
Moore bossed the overwhelming majority of the contest, earning a landslide victory on all three of the judges' scorecards, with totals of 49-45, 50-44 and 50-42 reflecting the Northern Irishman's dominance throughout the title fight.
Moore's win now means he becomes the latest holder of the Cage Warriors light-heavyweight title, following in the footsteps of Michael Bisping, who has since gone on to earn UFC world championship honours as a middleweight.
The night's co-main event saw the victorious return of Catherine Costigan, who extended her perfect record under the Cage Warriors banner to 4-0 with a split-decision win over Wendy McKenna.
The two atomweights traded leather for 15 solid minutes that ebbed and flowed as both fighters enjoyed spells in the ascendancy.
But when the score totals were read it was Ireland's Costigan who ended up with the victory thanks to scores of 28-29, 29-28, 29-28.
Frenchman Arnold Quero got the nod from two of the three judges as he edged out Joe McColgan via split decision after three close, competitive rounds in their lightweight bout contest.
Both men had their fair share of successes throughout the fight and the competitiveness of the fight was reflected in the judges scorecards, with Quero taking home the win with scores of 30-27, 28-29, 29-28 handing him the split-decision victory.
Norway's Hakan 'Ferocious' Foss extended his winning streak to four in a row with an impressive rear-naked choke submission of Martyn Harris as he looks to work his way back to a rematch with the last man to beat him, current CW welterweight champion Karl Amoussou.
And the opening main card fight of the night saw SBG prospect Blaine O'Driscoll claim a eye-catching KO win over Darren O'Gorman.
O'Driscoll started fast, dominating from the top position and leaving O'Gorman with a nasty cut over his right eye as they returned to their corners after Round 1.
And, after the action was paused mid-way through the second round for the doctor to assess the damage to O'Gorman's face, O'Driscoll closed the show with a beautiful left hand to claim the knockout victory.
Karl Moore def Josh Clark via unanimous decision (49-45, 50-44, 50-42)
Catherine Costigan def Wendy McKenna via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28)
Arnold Quero def Joe McColgan via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 29-28)
Hakan Foss def Martyn Harris via submission (rear-naked choke), R1
Blaine O'Driscoll def Darren O'Gorman via KO (punch), R2

text: When Kate Middleton and Prince William announced their engagement back in 2010, the news was almost upstaged by the cobalt blue Issa dress that Kate wore for the press conference. Following that day, women around the world clamored for that very dress, which brings us to today's news. Issa has unveiled a kimono-style dress for summer that bears a resemblance to the engagement dress, but is slightly more summery. Better yet, it comes in an array of bright colors—including mango, ice blue, apple green, flamingo pink, and aquamarine—as well as a slew of prints. Though clearly inspired by Kate's dress, this is not a dress you will see the duchess wearing anytime soon, so you don't have to worry about the "who wore it better" question. With that said, check out the entire collection today at Shopbop.com.

It is official, we had our soft opening, and it was CRAZY!!! Crazy good, but by no means normal. Becca and I opened our doors to the public this past Thursday, and all of a sudden vegans were coming out of the woodwork. We had no idea how busy we were going to be. It was absolutely amazing the amount of support we received from the public, and the Eton family. We were open 18 total hours, and Becca and I literally worked 60 hours in the three days. Baking, mixing, plating, and selling. We are attempting to figure out a good flow for the business, and it is coming together. We couldn't have been able to make it if we didn't have the help from my dad, and Becca's sister Tracy! My dad quickly became our "runner boy", running all over town picking up the little things we forgot to order, while Tracy got her first baking lesson in the kitchen. We put them to work all weekend, and they saved us!!! THANK YOU DAD AND TRACY!
We are introducing our breakfast menu tomorrow, with our power bars, muffins, granola and juice. We are very excited to see what kind of response we get from our foodies with our breakfast treats.
Just to be clear, our hours are...
Saturday 11AM-6PM
This week we are going to introduce our MOJITO cupcake. The rain has made my mint plant grow leaps and bounds and you all are going to benefit from it. :)

WASHINGTON -- Although White House officials say there is no final decision, a government memo leaked today indicates preparations have been made for the U.S. to move forward with plans to buy an Illinois prison and use it to house suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
In a joint statement, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and Gov. Pat Quinn said they were "encouraged" by the memo.
"Even though the final decision has not been made, we are encouraged by this development," the statement said. "We will continue working with the White House, the Defense Department and the Justice Department to address important questions regarding security and job creation, and finalize this agreement."The one-page memo surfaced on the Web site, biggovernment.com, which features conservative thought and opinion.
In an email to the Tribune, an administration official termed the memo a "predecisional" document that lawyers at various agencies were drafting in preparation for a potential announcement.

The first time we saw Ricky Fowler in that monochromatic, orange outfit on the PGA Tour, it was mesmerizing. He came out with an orange shirt, pants, belt, hat and shoes. He looked like one big piece of fruit. Instantly, his good looks where a hit with the ladies. Not only was his golf swing amazing, but he had a single, unforgetable swagger when he walked up the fairway.
Ricky caused a huge buzz concerning Puma Golf Apparel. Questions abounded: How did they sign this guy? What's up with that outfit? These were some of the rumblings from other golf manufacturers. They were scoffing and scared that they might lose some of their market share to a company that had been on the outs for the last few years. Puma Golf has now turned a new tide in golf shirts and accessories.
For years, the company had been known for their footwear. That is now changing. Puma now offers a full line of shirts, shorts, pants and accessories. Every shirt they produce has a matching pant, short, belt and shoes.
In addition, Puma golf shirts are made very well with 100% Polyester, moisture-wicking material so you do not sweat. They also contain a UPF of 40 to protect you from the suns harsh rays. Most of the product line can be worn on and off the golf course. The pants and shorts have flat fronts and plaids that will make you look like your going to the beach.The colors that Puma offers are exciting, bold and tantalizing. Puma golf shirts are definitely for the young and the fit.
When Ricky hit the scene they did not have enough inventory to fill their orders. In fact, the golf clothing was hard to find in 2011. Now, that has all changed and its full steam ahead for Puma. With new inventory control in place, the company has finally achieved a balance on the amount of pieces they offer. For instance, one of Ricky's hats that was very hard to get a few years back, can now be found just about anyplace. With Ricky Fowler as their spokesperson they are sure to grab a huge piece of the market of the younger golfers.
Puma's biggest rivalry is Adidas. The latter company was at one time owned by two brothers and their ill fated feelings caused them to split into different directions. Now the two brothers fight for market share in the golf industry.
In 2012 Ricky had his first official win on the PGA Tour. Incidentally, 2012 was an incredible year for Puma Golf Apparel, as well. Puma is here to stay and has made their mark in the clothing and fashion industry. Look for Puma Golf shirts at your local golf store or find them online. A word of warning – if you like a piece of Puma Golf apparel, do not hesitate to buy it because it may not be there tomorrow.

12 Essential Photo Rules from Popular Photography
We're not big fans of following the rules, and we have a hunch you're not, either.
But we know a good thing when we see it, and this list of 12 photography suggestions from our friends at Popular Photography came up on our phodar* more than once over the past couple weeks.
Photography's as much a science as it is an art, so consider this a brush-up of your fundamentals. Of course, we know you know that we know that you know how fast a shutter speed you need to freeze a person running across your frame versus running at a 45-degree angle to you, or how to expose a sunset so it looks like it's a half hour later than it is.
But a little review never hurt.
12 Essential Photo Rules from Popular Photography
* Yeah, it's like radar, but for photography. It's strong with us.

Pete Townshend, the legendary songwriter and guitarist of the Who, performed the rock opera Quadrophenia in Toronto last month with singer Roger Daltrey. Before the concert he chatted about his new autobiography, Who I Am, elaborating about working with equipment that failed his visions, frustrations with bandmates and the need to get excitement at our own feet.
Quite a lot of musician autobiographies have come out recently. Have you read any?
I read [Bob] Dylan's. But I kind of already did that sort of thing with Horse's Neck, in 1995. But I haven't read any of the others. From what it sounds like, I would quite like reading Neil Young's.
Compared to your book, it's rambling and quite loose.
Well, it would be, wouldn't it? He is a rambling kind of guy. He's his own man, slightly more grounded than I am, as far as staying in his own space. He's quite a good friend, actually. We've got a lot in common.
With Who I Am, I was fascinated with your upbringing. You see yourself as a visionary back then, with your drawings and concepts as a child. Looking back on your career, were you a visionary?
It sounds quite conceited to put it like that. But, yeah. I think imaginative and creative, and, a lot of the time, lost. It was very interesting to hear the Rolling Stone review of the Who show at Barclays in Brooklyn. The review said Quadrophenia was terrific done Roger Daltrey's way, freed from Townshend's overthinking. What made it sting a little is that I know that it's true. I do overthink.
Where do you think that comes from?
I was fortunate to be the son of a pop musician. And then ending up at art college, at the time the function of songs was changing. We were hearing the blues from America, which added to the incredible melange of music that we already knew about. Suddenly we hear Howlin' Wolf for the first time. It was a cry from the soul, and the very fact that he called himself Howlin' Wolf. And then we hear the new stuff, from people who were influenced by the blues artists, like Jimmy Smith, Mose Allison and Ray Charles. So, we're hearing things in a new way.
And so how did all that influence your own musical vision as a teenager?
I suddenly realized that the timing was perfect, if I could only keep the balls in the air. I had been a backstage boy, with my dad's band, and I knew that the only way to keep the balls in the air was to keep the creative work ahead of the performing machine, the managerial machine and the brand machine. The ideas had to precede the band. For a while, I couldn't find out where to invest those ideas.
There was no blueprint back then, in the early 1960s. And if there was, you weren't following it. What was your plan?
My idea of an artist was to change the world. I wanted to delight in my own fantastical thinking. And, then, suddenly, there we are – we're in the middle of the Mod revolution. These boys were struggling with sexual identity issues. They dress differently. They don't have the butch, ice-hockey mentality that the boys had in America. It was a different world, and it was my audience.
At this point, what were you thinking? Was it performance? Image? Songs?
I think it was everything. The childish visionary stuff linked through. I realized that all of my childhood dreams could be made real. There was a sense of possibility that I saw could be made real. That worked for a while – up until Lifehouse.
Lifehouse, at the turn of the seventies, was the failed experiment in film, live performance and conceptual music. In your book you write about the other members of the Who, who weren't always interested in the narratives and conceits to your music. How frustrating was that?
I didn't have control of the band. It's comforting for me now to say that Roger Daltrey has always been the leader of the Who and I've been the creative engine. But when it came to sitting down with the band, every member had an idea of what the Who should be. Every one of us had a different view. I was hard on the guys in the book, but I take a very insular view. I was the writer. I really pitched a lot of ideas to the band, and sometimes it didn't work. I couldn't get the ideas past them.
The band's first hit was Can't Explain. And you write about a moment as a child where you heard orchestral sounds in your head, and experienced a euphoria that you've never been able to replicate. Is a lot of your music borne out of frustration?
I don't know. It might be that I've slightly missed the boat. If computer-aided composition had been around in the 1970s, I could have done the most extraordinary work. I was tireless. I was energized. I was inspired. So, frustration? I blame the equipment.
How about the Who's live shows, and the potential realized. Was the Woodstock performance the peak?
I think so. We didn't realize it at the time of course. It wasn't until I saw the movie that I realized what the band had achieved. But we weren't the only one. Sly and the Family Stone – what an amazing band. They did the enormously elongated coda of I Want to Take You Higher. I thought it was amazing, that they got people on their feet. I thought we should do that with "listening to you, I get excitement at your feet." Of course, by the time we got to perform it, the crowd was in their sleeping bags. We had to really pummel them. After the 45th time of "listening to you," eventually they got up.
In the coda of the book, you stress that we should all "just play," in your words. What do you mean by that?
It's as much a message to me as it is to anyone else who might be looking for any kind of wisdom from me. I think play is going for those moments when you lose the sense of whether it matters what the outcome is. You should lose the sense of whether the experience is a good one or a bad one. So, you may want to play a song really beautifully, but what is important is that you play it.
We lose that, when context and competition enters into the equation, right?
It's like the thing I wrote about banging away at the piano as a little kid and my wonderful Aunt Trilby looks up and says, "That was wonderful." And because in my head, it had been wonderful, I looked up at her and said, "I know." The whole idea that because Bruce Springsteen can play better than I can, or you can, that he has a better time and that he's happier when he plays than I am when I play or you play, it's arrogant. The feeling of context undermines our ability to play. Instead, we need to just throw our stuff into the mix.

Being a mother is not for those who display symptoms of the "Perfection Infection." There is simply no such thing as a perfect mom. And there are no such things as perfect kids, perfect bodies, perfect marriages, or even perfect meals. With refreshing honesty, author Jill Savage exposes some of her own parental shortcomings with the goal of helping mothers everywhere shelve their desires for perfection along with their insecurities of not measuring up to other moms . Jill delivers some much-needed realism as she explains why we need to stop comparing our insides to other people's outsides. She challenges every mom to exchange her vision of being a "perfect mother" for God's beautiful grace in order to learn to love her real, but imperfect, life.

Hundreds of the striking Lonmin miners, supported by ululating women, gathered Wednesday near the spot where police killed 34 striking miners on Aug. 16. The striking miners then marched from the Marikana platinum mine northwest of Johannesburg to the nearby Karee mine, which is also owned by Lonmin, and demanded that all workers join the strike for higher wages or face violence and even death.
The striking mineworkers gave working colleagues a deadline of 1 p.m. to leave Karee mine or be killed.
"After 1 we don't want to see anybody in the shaft. Those who come to work tomorrow we will kill them," said one striker who refused to give his name. Another man shouted, "There will be more blood if we do not get 12,500 rand."
The strikers said they want a monthly minimum wage of 12,500 rand ($1,560).
A delegation of seven young strikers was allowed to meet with mine managers. They were led past the phalanx of six police armoured cars and a water cannon truck to the barbed wire gate of Karee Mine. Behind the gate the Karee mine's two white mine managers, with an armed security guard nearby, stood with their hand on their hips as the strikers got down on their knees.
The line of police vehicles separated the green-roofed Karee mine complex from the throng of singing, dancing strikers and their supporters. Police helicopters hovered overhead.
The manager of the Karee mine shaft, Jan Thirion, said: "The delegation from the strikers told me that if I didn't get all the workers out of the shaft by 1 p.m. they would burn down the shaft." The Karee workers wound up leaving the mine.
Of the strikers' demands and threats, Thirion said: "It's like keeping a gun against someone's head, saying 'You pay us from here on.' If you do that you might as well close all South Africa's mines."
Unlike previous protests, the striking miners carried only sticks and were not armed with spears and machetes that they had brandished in previous protests.
The London-registered Lonmin PLC mine has warned that the strike that began Aug. 10 could cost 40,000 jobs if it continues. The Marikana mine remains shut down with fewer than 5 per cent of miners turning up for work.
Tensions are high in Marikana as allegations mount of gross abuses by police against the strikers.
Striker Lungisile Lutshetu was quoted in a Johannesburg newspaper as saying that on Aug. 16 he saw a man shot who was on his knees with his hands in the air.
"He begged for his life ... but the heartless officers riddled him with automatic rifles, which pierced through his body," Lutshetu was quoted as saying in The Star on Wednesday. Lutshetu said he and several other strikers had run away but the police followed them and opened fire. "Those in front of me were shot at close range and fell over me, and that's how my life was spared," he said, according to The Star. He said others were shot dead after being captured by police.
Moses Dlamini, spokesman for the Independent Police Complaints Directorate, told The Associated Press that many allegations have been made against police officers in connection with the shootings. He said the directorate is investigating all complaints and will give all the evidence it has collected to the commission of inquiry appointed by President Jacob Zuma. He said he could not discuss individual allegations.
Another striker, Johannes Mashabela, told The Star that he feels he is "lucky to be alive" after seeing police kill men around him.
Protesters on Wednesday waved a photograph of a young man they named as Mgcineni Noki. They said Noki was shot in the foot on Aug. 16 and was taken to a hospital.
"Police then went to the hospital and dragged him away. They beat him up and they killed him. We found him in the mortuary," said Xolani Mzuzu, a striking miner. But a review of news reports and photos from past weeks indicate that Noki apparently died in the fusillade of gunfire on Aug. 16.
Earlier reports carried by the Pretoria News show what appears to be Noki's corpse lying among other dead miners on Aug. 16. His brother is quoted as saying Noki's body was riddled with bullets.
Two Methodist ministers on Wednesday tried to prevent more violence. The Rev. Paul Verryn and Rev. Dan Twala negotiated with police to get permission for the delegation of strikers to go to the gates of Karee mine and to speak to the mine's managers.

Want to see what the rumored LG Revolution 2 will probably look like when it launches on Verizon around October 20? LG just announced the LG Optimus LTE for the Korean market, which we believe is the Galaxy S II killer we heard about last month. Availability of the Opitmus LTE in markets outside of Korea have yet to be determined, but the press release mentions the original LG Revolution and how this version tops their first 4G LTE handset.
The main attraction of the Optimus LTE is LG's own 4.5-inch "True HD IPS" (1280 x 720 pixels) display. The True HD IPS display recently won an award by outclassing Samsung's Super AMOLED Plus in a head-to-head comparsion. LG's display consumes less power, measured at 624mW (compared to 1130mW of the Super AMOLED), and it offers 600 nits of brightness.
Highlights of the LG Optimus LTE include:
- 4.5—inch "True HD IPS" (1280 x 720 pixels) display
- 1.5 GHz dual-core processor
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS platform
- 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash, 1.3 megapixel front camera
- 1830 mAh battery
- LTE speeds up to 75 Mbps
- 132.9 x 67.9 x 10.4 mm, 135 g
- WiFi Direct, MHL, DLNA
LG's press release didn't specify which 1.5 GHz processor they were using, but earlier leaks suggested it was a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3. This is the same CPU that will appear in the HTC Rezound (aka HTC Vigor), so it will be interesting to see how the two phones perform in the long run. HTC has the better reputation for software updates, they support unlocked bootloaders, and they now have Beats audio. LG will really need to impress with their True HD IPS display to win customers over.
What do you think LG's chances are of outclassing the HTC Rezound and Motorola Droid HD?
Show Press Release
Leading the LTE Era with Advanced True HD IPS Display Technology
SEOUL, Oct. 4, 2011 — LG Electronics (LG) today announced the Korean market launch of LG Optimus LTE, the first mobile device in the country to offer 4G connectivity with the highest resolution IPS display available on a smartphone. Developed in close collaboration with sister company LG Display, Optimus LTE features a striking 4.5—inch "True HD IPS" display which offers advanced resolution, brightness and clarity and shows colors in their most natural tones, as they were meant to be seen.
Optimus LTE also delivers enhanced performance with 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, running on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS platform. With a large 1,830 mAh battery, Optimus LTE is perfectly suited for multimedia usage. In addition, the device enables content sharing seamlessly through HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).
"LG Optimus LTE is the first smartphone in Korea to offer vivid and clear HD content on a 4G network," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "Our goal is to be a leading player in LTE devices by continuously offering best-in-class products based on our LTE patents and know-how."
According to a recent report by Jefferies & Company, LG was listed as the global leader in LTE patents with ownership of 23 percent of approximately 1,400 LTE patents filed worldwide, with a financial value of almost USD 8 billion. LG demonstrated the world's first LTE technology in 2007 and developed the world's first LTE modem chipset in 2008. LG introduced the world's fastest LTE technology in 2010 and conducted the world's first video phone call on a LTE network in 2011. LG's first LTE smartphone, RevolutionTM, was launched in the US earlier this year.
Availability of Optimus LTE in markets outside of Korea has not yet been determined.

Our Voices. Our Stories. Our History: Oral History
Oral History: Recording Our Stories
Others, like noted historian David McCullough, that it's a great buffet lunch of all the kinds of choices that people have made and what they did with their lives. In any case, history isn't what we thought it was when we were twelve. But then, when we were twelve, we didn't know that it was history being shared around the dinner table when family gathered and recounted memories. It was history that we were recording when we described to our diaries some of our very first experiences. It was history we were making when we joined with friends to do our part in coping with a national crisis.
If indeed history is to be found in the lives of ordinary people, how do we capture it? How do we get at what past times meant to people and how it felt to be part of those times? Quite simply, we ask people to tell us their stories and we listen when they do.
That is what oral history programs have been doing in earnest in the United States for the past 30 years. And what is being captured as a result touches on everything from family life and cultural customs to community events and societal movements. This article takes a look at oral history ---- how it developed in the United States, what notable programs have been created, and what the Historical Society's oral history program and collections include. We hope that as you read, you'll begin to think about your own stories ... and about stories you have heard that need preserving.
The reminiscences of former slaves were among the first oral histories collected in the United States. Other early efforts sought out the stories of blacks and poor whites in rural areas. This initial work, which was funded as a result of the New Deal, was all but forgotten until decades later when Black Studies and the oral history movement appeared on the scene.
Allen Nevins is the individual most closely associated with the development of the oral history movement. A biographer, historian and journalist, Nevins noted in 1938, while working on a biography of Grover Cleveland, that no one had interviewed Cleveland and his associates before they died. A decade later Nevins began what were pioneering efforts to capture the reminiscences of living Americans.
Nevins' first interviews were recorded in longhand, but by the end of 1948 a wire recorder had been devised, an electronic device for recording every word. The words of Judge Learned Hand were the first to be recorded by this device in 1949.
About that time, in addition to pursuing what were ostensibly oral autobiographies, Nevins also pioneered several "special projects" as they were called. The first of these projects was funded in the early 50s by a national organization of radio pioneers and was aimed at capturing the history of the early years of broadcasting. The second focused on Henry Ford and his empire. Some 430 persons were interviewed producing 26,000 pages of reminiscences, the largest industrial oral history project. Meanwhile at the University of Texas, a third project was developed that collected material on the history of oil wildcatting in Texas.
This pioneering work in the early 50s led UC Berkeley to establish its Regional Oral History Office that was the first multipurpose project to develop after Columbia's, and then in 1959 UCLA launched its own as well. Many more programs followed in the 1960s, facilitated by the portable cassette tape recorder. In fact, by 1964 oral history work was in progress across the country from Harvard to the Hollywood Museum. Museums, historical societies, corporations, labor unions, libraries, even churches were trying this new methodology. In 1967 the Oral History Association (OHA) was established. Clearly oral history had become a movement.

Did you know that you can go online and read excerpts from oral histories? Many exceptional programs have developed over the past fifty years to capture the voices, the stories, that document our country's history. We've noted a few of those programs here. Some you may already be aware of because they are part of the programming efforts at a museum you have visited. Others you may be less aware of because they are pursued within a university setting. Most we've listed here have websites, which you can visit if you want to explore their resources further.
Columbia University Oral History Research Office is the oldest and largest organized oral history program in the world. The collection now contains nearly 8,000 taped memoirs, and nearly 1,000,000 pages of transcript. These memoirs include a collection that focuses on the student movement of the I960s as well as one that chronicles the history of philanthropy.
The Ellis Island Oral History Project began in 1973 as an informal collection of interviews with people who had immigrated to this country through Ellis Island. The project picked up steam in the late 19805 with the restoration and preservation of Ellis Island by the National Parks Service. Over 1,200 interviews are on file; more than half of them have been conducted since 1990.
Minnesota Historical Society has used oral history to document the history of Minnesota since the early years of the oral history movement. The collection includes hundreds of interviews and addresses a wide range of topics: politics, business, labor, agriculture, the environment, ethnicity, religion and education. It is one of the oldest oral history programs administered by a historical society in the United States.
The Regional Oral History Office of UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library was established in 1954, but had its beginnings in the work of Hubert Howe Bancroft. Bancroft recognized that missing from his vast collections of books, journals, maps, and manuscripts on western North America were the living memories of the pioneers who settled the West. In the 1860s he launched an ambitious project to interview and create autobiographies of a diverse group of Westerners, and the resulting volumes of "Dictation" continue to provide valuable primary sources for historians. Today the work of the Regional Oral History Office preserves the history of the San Francisco, California and the Western United States.
The UCLA Oral History Program was established in 1959. The program has recorded and processed well over 500 interviews, ranging in length from one hour to seventy-six hours in length. The collection focuses on topics related to the Los Angeles metropolitan area and includes interviews with African American artists and community leaders, the Los Angeles art community, and biomedical scientists.
United States Holocaust Museum houses more than 7,000 audio and video oral history interviews -- one of the largest, most diverse centralized resources for Holocaust testimonies in the world. Since 1996, the Museum's Branch of Oral-history has been collecting testimony of collaborators, perpetrators, bystanders and witnesses of Nazi crimes, Roma (Gypsies) in the Czech Republic, and survivors in Israel and the United States.
- Fresno County Library: approximately 242 oral histories including prominent valley business leaders and 119 interviews as part of the project "success through perseverance: Japanese Americans in the San Joaquin valley", recorded in 1979-80, funded by the national endowment for the humanities.
- Fresno Pacific College: small collection which focuses on Mennonites in the region.
- Henry Madden Library: (California State University, Fresno) contains the June English collection of approximately 19 oral histories of early pioneers and sierra forest rangers.
- American Society of Germans from Russia: twelve oral histories from Volga German pioneers.
- Japanese American Citizens League: (Central California District) active program with small collection of oral histories.
Sanger historical society: 180 oral histories focused on early settlers, recorded between 1989-92.
- Central Sierra Historical Society: several regarding life in the sierra region.
- RC Baker Museum: fifty oral histories, primarily interviews and speeches given by community members.
- Tulare Historical Society: nine histories that focus on early agriculture.
- Merced County Historical Society: seventeen interviews of Merced county residents.
Oral history is the systematic collection and recording of personal memories as historical documentation. In a sense, it is a form of storytelling that involves eyewitness accounts and reminiscences. At its best, it recovers and preserves important aspects of human life that would otherwise go undocumented. And while oral history is not always the best method for collecting statistical data, such as specific dates, places and times, it far surpasses any other for capturing how people felt at different points in time, for capturing the significance and meaning associated with people, places, things and experiences. In short, an oral history is about the human experience.

Bigby: ... Mrs. Brownely saw that she could use me at the Fairmont hotel, and she dressed me very, very beautifully. She would have me go in and take care of customers on the floor. I was very, very petite, I only weighed about a hundred pounds. She schooled me on how to walk, how to talk, how to act in this beautiful salon. This was because we took care of nothing but the carriage trade. Of course, I had taken care of Sophie tucker, and different movie people like Natacha Ramova, who was Rudolph Valentino's wife. I had seen him many times and sat at the table with him and his wife in Mrs. Brownely's suite. She lived at the St. Francis Hotel one time. So I went to work at the Fairmont. On one occasion, I was called out to drape a veil on a customer. She had two ladies with her, and her clothes were just horrible, I thought. Unbecoming, ugly gray suede shoes, and the hat that she wanted me to drape the veil on was horrible. So I took the hat back to the work room, and I threw it up in the air and kicked it and made fun of it. I cut the veiling and pinned it to one side, and was going to walk outside and show her how it would look. Before going out, one of the designers called me back and said, "Mary, do you know who that is?" I said, "no." she said, "that's the Queen Mary, Mother Mary." I think I fainted it scared me so bad. Anyways, I went back And gave her nice service and pinned the veil on her. So I was cured there of Royalty…
QUESTION: Do you remember Ethel Waters playing the Orpheum Circuit [when you were living in Fresno?
BIGBY: Definitely I do because she stayed at my house. She was the first black female performer on the Orpheum Circuit. They played here every week. Of course, there was always a new star, she was one of the first.
QUESTION: Why did she stay at your home?
BIGBY: Because the hotels were prejudiced and they didn't allow negroes in the hotels at that time.
QUESTION: Most of the black stars that came to Fresno, they had to be housed in private homes?
BIGBY: They did.
QUESTION: Were these arrangements made in advance?
BIGBY: Through my husband who was downtown, he's well known. And I think through him there were many people who stayed at my house because of that. There were the Nicholas brothers. The William four, who were my oldest brother's stepchildren. They appeared on the same bill with Ethel Waters. The William four. They stayed at my house, and since I was such a terrible cook, my mother would feed them. She would board them.
QUESTION: Do you remember a street that was referred to as "Black Broadway"?
BIGBY: Definitely. That was F Street in west Fresno. Because all the action was on F Street…

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a large distributed system of servers deployed in data centers in multiple locations around the world. The goal of a CDN is to improve the user experience by providing better performance and greater availability for delivering media content. Images, videos, and documents can be served faster to the end user, while reducing the traffic load on your web server(s).
Using a CDN storage provides you with the following benefits:
Sitefinity CMS supports CDN storage of content libraries (images, videos, and documents). After you configure a CDN blob storage in your Sitefinity CMS project, all media content item URLs are retrieved from the CDN (for example, http://mycdn.com/images/img1.jpg). Thus, when the client (browser) makes a request for a specific content item from the CDN and the CDN stores the item in its cache, the CDN serves the item very quickly. If the CDN does not have the item stored in the cache, the CDN makes a request to your server (for example, http://mysitefinitysite.com/images/img1.jpg) to load the item and then serves it to the client.
In addition, you can define different CDNs as blob storage providers. Each library can use precisely one blob storage provider. This provides a greater granular control on setting expiration times. For example, you can configure an image library to be retained in the CDN for a short period of time and configure a video library to be stored for a longer time in the CDN cache.
NOTE: You can work with 3rd party providers as well, such as Amazon, Azure, and so on.
The following benchmarks were measured on Telerik's website, when moved from hosting images and documents locally to Amazon's CloudFront CDN services. This resulted in immediate significant improvements performance improvements.
The average response time of pages in Sitefinity CMS has decreased by 1-2 seconds on each request. In this benchmark graph, the yellow vertical line marks the move of binary resources to CDN storage.
Significantly faster load times for images and videos by an average of 1 second per request. Tests were performed with no browser cache, and clients located outside the internal hosting network.
This benchmark was made before the move of binary resources to CDN storage:
This same benchmark was made after the move of binary resources to CDN storage:
The number of requests to the local servers has decreased by 30%. In this benchmark graph, the yellow vertical line marks the move of binary resources to CDN storage.
In case you have specific permissions for your content items, when using CDN storage, these permissions do not apply by default.
The CDN URLs are defined on a Blob storage provider level and are applied for all items in the blob storage. If the items have permissions that restrict anonymous access, the CDN cannot load and deliver the items and an HTTP 404 error is displayed. Therefore, the blob storage provider for the CDN must contain only public items.

ROCKY HILL — Leaders from smaller communities are asking Governor Dannel Malloy for specifics when it comes to how the state budget will affect their towns.
Following his State of the State address last week where he said cuts to municipal aid are likely, Governor Malloy spoke at the annual town meeting for the Connecticut Council of Small Towns (COST).
Malloy said 22% of the state budget goes to municipalities and the majority of those funds go toward education. He said any solutions to the $1.5 billion deficit problem are going to be the result of a team effort.
"I know we're in this together and it's a tough situation to be in together," said Malloy.
Dan Champagne, mayor of Vernon, spoke up when Malloy was taking questions from the crowd of community leaders. Champagne asked if small towns could get some kind of relief in return if they are giving up some aid.
"Maybe with the release of some of these regulations we can give up some of the money and it's not going to hurt us," said Champagne.
He said, "Any municipal aid that's removed goes directly to the property tax and people have had enough of that."
Don Stein, First Selectman of Barkhamstead and an incoming director at COST, said he's concerned about what cuts will mean for his taxpayers too.
"It's a very bleak year. We're a small town. We depend fairly heavily on state aid for road improvements, for education, and the cuts that are being proposed could end up in a dollar for dollar tax increase for our residents," said Stein.
He said, "The small towns don't have a lot of frills. They don't have a lot of extra services that can be cut out."
Governor Malloy said it's still too early to give specifics until his final budget proposal is released in February, but he is looking for ways to change mandates to give communities some form of relief.

One of the hottest segments in the PC enclosure market right now is the home theater case. Home theater PCs (HTPCs) are generally placed in desktop-style (horizontal) cases that are designed to be placed in a media cabinet, often stacked with other components. In many ways the HTPC enclosure is a subsection of the desktop enclosure and there is
a lot of crossover between the two styles.
This review will be featuring one of Lian Li's new desktop cases, the PC-C31, or C31 for short. This aluminum case uses an extremely clean design in order to allow it to be placed right on your desktop or in at stock of AV equipment. This horizontal design is something that has largely fallen out of favor with consumers, except for with HTPCs, despite them being very useful under the right
Because the C31 is a desktop case, we will also be looking at is as an HTPC case. This is not a distinction all consumers will make and to a certain extent the two are interchangeable, but the fact remains that the C31 is not an HTPC case in the way that the Moneaul
MonCaso 932 we recently reviewed is. True HTPC enclosures generally have some sort of display (generally VFD or LCD), have easily accessible media controls, and use a low-key, stylish design that is in keeping with home theater and audio equipment. Also many HTPC cases are known for their extra included components; for example, a remote control, wireless keyboard, or low profile power supply unit. While none of these are mandatory, they aid in media-oriented operation and help justify the price premium that often accompanies HTPC equipment.
Bays: 5.25″ x 2, 3.5″ internal x 2
Cooling: 12cm ball bearing fan x 2
Motherboard: Micro ATX ( Max size : 9.6″ x 9.6″ ), Standard ATX Power
Front I/O: USB2.0 x 2, IEEE1394 x 1, MIC x 1, EAR x 1
Dimensions: 435 x 150 x 440mm (W,H,D)
Expansion slots: PCI slot x 4
Examining the C31 a little bit more closely, we can see that is uses a relatively standard desktop layout. The bezel is populated with a basic front I/O, power/reset buttons, and two 5.25″ bays with drive covers. As is normal with Lian Li's products, the design is basic and super clean- the only non-functional additions are metal logo on the top right and the snazzy stripe across the front. The bay covers, could be considered eye candy as well, are all metal and are placed in front of an optical drive so that the drive is hidden
when not open. This will maintain the simple, all-aluminum (buttons included) bezel and prevent differently colored (read: beige) drives from being an eyesore.
At about 17″ x 17″x 6″ the C31 is an average size for a desktop case, perhaps a bit on the tall side for a HTPC offering. The additional height means you get dual 5.25″ bays on the front, 120mm fans instead of something smaller, and some extra room inside. Most desktop cases this height would have room for three or four hard drives, but this one has just two. The upshot is that both the hard
drives and optical drives are in removable drive bays that are very easy to work with.
Other similar desktop offerings from Lian Li are C30 and C35. The C30 is taller (though similarly equipped) and has the option of including I-Mon for HTPC use. The C35 is the lowest profile one of the bunch and moves to a Micro-ATX layout along with an undersized PSU and uses just one optical drive and one disk.
Spinning the C31 around we can see that it maintains the super clean design throughout the exterior. The left side is blank save for a large vent that will act as an intake for cool air and the right side is home to two 120mm fans. These fans will provide for serious cooling and are large enough that they can stay silent while moving enough air to remove unwanted heat. The use of dual 120mm fans is something that sets the C31 apart from a number of other cases in its category as most opt for 92mm fans. Overall the built quality is excellent and it goes a long way to justify the extra price of a Lian Li.
The rear of the exterior has a standard I/O, placement for an ATX power supply unit, and four expansion slots. There is adequate venting around the I/O area and PSU though no fans hear. The dual 120s should be more than enough to get the job done and they are close enough to the CPU that nothing in the back is needed. There are no guards on the aluminum at the PSU area so users will have to be careful not to over-tighten the screws. Luckily there is a support for the power supply so the stress on the chassis will be limited.
Opening the C31 reveals a simple, though efficiently designed interior. The front has two drive cages, both of which are aluminum, have a quick-install design, and are removable. For support there is an aluminum cross-brace across which helps strengthen the case though might get in the way if you are tinkering inside after your installation. Because the piece is at the very top of the case
and the cages are removable it should not be a problem. The aluminum top is very well made and fits on the case perfectly. As such it can be removed and put back smoothly. It is held on with a single thumbscrew in the center.
The two drives cages are pure Lian Li- simple, effective, and elegantly designed. They are both crafted extremely well and can be removed easily. They are held on with a single thumbscrew (on the top or bottom) to prevent rattling, and after the drives slide in they are lock down inside. The hard drive cage does not have any direct cooling, but with just two drives in there this should not be a problem, especially if they are not high performance drives. The optical drive cage has the covers built right in for easy access or removal.
There not a lot that has to be said about the Lian Li PC-C31, the case speaks for itself. This is a simple desktop enclosure that features Lian Li's excellent aluminum work and extremely slick design. Despite not having most of the common HTPC features, like a remote control, a display, or AV controls, it should fit very well into a home theater stack and has specifications that will allow it to meet most people's needs.
The C31 itself has very few flaws, but that does not mean it is for everyone. Two improvements that it would benefit from are room for a third hard drive and a hidden front I/O, but past that it mainly comes down to personal opinion. Also hiding the LEDs on the front would be smart for a case that has HTPC aspirations.
As for preference- if you want a case that is not as tall as the C31 the C35 is a great option or if you need an LCD SilverStone and Moneual have a very nice selection. People looking for higher performance might like the PC-880 which looks like a cousin of Lian Li's popular V1200 tower.
As usual, Lian Li did a great job. Their focus on clean design and elegance meant that some things had to be left out, like a card reader and 3.5″ bay, but the case is made extremely well and is going to be just right for a certain segment of buyers. At this price it is not out of reach, but for a rather basic desktop case with no power supply unit it is on the high side.
– Very well built
– Classy design
– 120mm fans
– No card reader
– No media controls

Elten, Jan Godtschalks van (d. 1700)
Jan Godtschalks van Elten (Jan Godtschalcx) rendered invaluable service to the Mennonite congregation at Nijmegen, in the Dutch province of Gelderland, which arose about 1635. In consequence of the decree of expulsion of 30 December 1652, he had emigrated from Gladbach in the Jülich region with his family in 1654, and on 11 April 1655, became a citizen of Nijmegen. He was a weaver. On11 July 1656, he was ordained deacon by Jan ter Mehr of Krefeld. For a period of more than 40 years he served by reading sermons to the congregation, and especially by his management of the church capital, so that it contributed much to the thriving growth of the congregation. He died in 1700.
