I recently bought a vintage Tuneyville Player Piano toy. When I saw it I was overwhelmed with childhood memories. It was my first piano. You put little plastic records in it and it plays music. The piano also works and comes with a music book that is color coded. Oh it was a sweet find.
I often wonder what happened to all my childhood toys. The only thing I have left from my childhood are a few Barbie dolls and Cabbage Patch Kids. There is no good reason I should not have kept my toys. My mom lives in the same house as I did growing up and there is plenty of room to store them. I am bitter.
Vintage toys are a big business. People pay a lot of money for old toys, especially if they are new in box. I don't care about the toys being new in the box, but I do wish I had some of my favorite toys today to share with my son.
It is funny how things we once see as precious items, turn to junk, then back to being precious.
Sometimes we treat people the same way. When you are growing up your parents are the world to you. They are your best friend and you turn to them for comfort.
I think most people have that awkward phase when their parents are embarrassing to them. We still love them but we don't want much to do them. I am not looking forward to that stage in my son's life.
My dad always drove a pickup truck. When I was younger, all I wanted to do was jump in the front seat and ride with him. It didn't matter where he was going, I just wanted to go. When I got told I couldn't ride along, most of the time it ended up in tears and me sitting looking out the window waiting for him.
When I turned fifteen, I didn't want anything to do with my dad's truck. It was an eyesore to me, and I definitely did not want to be seen in. After my dad passed away, my mom sold his truck and 15 years later I saw a man driving it. I knew it was my dad's truck, it looked exactly the same and still had the Donnie Keck Ford symbol on it. It brought tears to my eyes.
Every time I was in town and saw that man driving my dad's truck, it evoked some sort of memory. I talked to the man once. I told him that was my Daddy's truck and he quickly said, oh yeah, it's a good truck. He went on to say how it had not given him any problems even though the truck was over 20 years old.
Next time you decide to throw away something that was once important to you, you may way want to think about it twice. I don't know what happened to my Daddy's truck. I don't see it anymore. I wish I had asked the man about buying the truck back from him. I also wish I would have been smart enough to enjoy riding in it when I was fifteen.

Clinkle be damned
OUR FACES ARE lies and our necks are the truth," said Nora Ephron. "You have to cut open a redwood tree to see how old it is, but you wouldn't if it had a neck." A keen observation, for sure, but it omits the neck's constant and equally damning companion: the chest. Even more so than the neck, the crepe-y and cross-hatched patina of a long-abused décolleté betrays the years – and often adds extra – of a women whose has otherwise artfully lasered into oblivion the wrinkles and age spots by which she's judged from the jawline up.

Your vote for 2014
In the week of 22 and 25 May 2014 you have the opportunity to influence the political future of the European Union by giving your contribution to elect the 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) for the next five years. Make you sure you check when the exact election day in your country is!
The elected MEPs will represent over 500 million citizens in the 28 member states. MEPs seats are given acording to something called 'degressive proportionality', which means that countries with larger populations have more seats than smaller ones but the latter have more seats than strict proportionality would imply.
The 2014 European elections are different than the last because they are the first elections since the Lisbon Treaty of 2009 gave the European Parliament a number of important new powers. For example, when the EU member states nominate the next president of the European Commission in 2014, they will have to take account of the European election results. This means voters now have a clear say in who takes over the presidency.

love is peanut butter ice cream...
I once read a story about a family that lived by a simple motto, "love is sacrifice." I was intrigued and touched to learn that the motto started as a way of living between a husband and wife who so utterly exemplified it that their young children grasped the concept without delay. The father recollected a time when he took his two children to the mall to run some errands. He needed to go to Sears and he decided to drop his kids off at the petting zoo while he ran in. His daughter was probably six and his son was about 4. He gave his daughter fifty cents and went on his way. As he was entering Sears, he felt a tug at his sleeve and there was his daughter. He asked her why she hadn't gone into the petting zoo and she explained that it cost fifty cents to get in and not a quarter, like her father had assumed. She said she gave her quarter to her brother because "love is sacrifice." Beautiful, right? The father said he wanted her to really learn the lesson and to feel the sacrifice, so even though petting fluffy animals meant FAR more to her than to her little brother, the father took her with him to run the errands instead of giving her money to get in on her own. I'm so amazed at the environment that is being cultivated in that family, but I have to say... it isn't the first time I've witnessed that.
Another family that i deeply love and respect has already trained their children (3, ranging from 6-10 years old) to live the same way. Maybe they haven't got a motto for it, but the lifestyle is clearly there. I've watched all 3 children regularly and voluntarily sacrifice for each other. It's no surprise that I've seen it fully lived out by their parents, as well. I remember once, when I was first really getting to know them, we were on a trip together and we stopped off at a chicken restaurant. I had never eaten there, as we don't have any of that particular chain in Michigan, but I quickly picked up on a fact that EVERYONE else knew; this place has THE best biscuits. Ever. The thing is, they only give you one with each meal, so you really have to savor every delicious, buttery bite. Imagine my surprise, as I'm scarfing down my biscuit in my own deliriously happy world, when i look over to see the wife cheerfully giving her own to her husband. Shock. Awe. Accusations of insanity. But this was only the beginning... I can assure you that I've witnessed countless other such events in the years that followed.
And, do I even need to tell you that they have one of the strongest, most loving marriages I've encountered? It makes total sense. In a culture that teaches us to look out for number one, that we deserve instant gratification and that it's our right to be happy-no matter at what cost it comes to others- our relationships have suffered. As I look about and examine healthy families, marriages and friendships around the world, it becomes more and more apparent to me that the best way to build lasting bonds is to put others first. It's nothing new, God is all about it. He's the perfect model of sacrifice. Isn't it interesting that his word tells us that he IS love? Love and sacrifice seem to go hand-in-hand.
And so, dear people, I happily report that this concept of sacrifice has made it's way into my own marriage, and I pray that it will remain there forever. John and I don't usually say that love is sacrifice... instead we say that love is peanut butter ice cream, when the other person would rather have chocolate brownie fudge... or watching Pride & Prejudice instead of The Bourne Ultimatum. Maybe those are such little things... but isn't the majority of life really made up of all the little things? And all of those little things put such big smiles on our faces and remind us each and every day that we love each other, and that our love is for a lifetime. It reaffirms the commitment we made to each other and to God and it reminds me why I married him every single time. So, in light of all of that, maybe they aren't as little as others make them out to be. Besides, if we can't learn to sacrifice the ice cream, we'll never be able to sacrifice where it really matters. So, whatever relationship you find yourself in today... marital, parental, friendly... remember that love is sacrifice, and watch to see what sort of environment you'll soon cultivate.

Marvell Shows Off New 88SS9187 SATA 6Gbps SSD Controller
Subject: Storage | March 15, 2012 - 09:30 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ssd, marvel, controller, 88SS9187
Marvell, a storage technology company founded in 1995, today announced a new SSD controller in the form of the 88SS9187 that supports many of the latest storage technologies and is set to debut in several products this year.
The new 88SS9187 SSD controller is reportedly powered by a powerful embedded processor and supports the SATA 3.1 (6Gbps) interface as well as a NAND flash interface that is capable of up to 200 MB/s per channel. Also, the Marvell controller can support on-chip RAID functionality as well as Adaptive Read and Write Scheme technology in the ECC (error correction code) engine.
Marvell also claims that the 88SS9187 controller supports the DDR3 DRAM interface for "up to 1 G byte memory," and approximately 500 MB/s of sequential write performance under dirty drive conditions. The claim that the new controller will provide Random read and write IOPS with minimum over provisioning and performance degradations (where provisioning is used to provide a buffer for wear leveling algorithms and extra space for the drive controller to work with to increase performance). The Vice President of Marketing for Marvell's Storage Business Group Alan Armstrong, stated that the new 88SS9187 controller will enable SSD manufacturers "to fully customize their products to meet specific customer demands and distinguish their products based on price, performance, power and functionality."
They plan for the new controller to have an impact in both the consumer and enterprise markets and have announced that additional partners will integrate the 88SS9187 controller into their SSDs later this year. For now though, they have only stated that a "significant number" of popular SSD manufacturers will have drives ready in the immediate future. More information is available here.

Can you please give the history of the qira'aat? For example did the prophet (saw) recite all the qira'aat or which one did he recite the most? And how it developed? and lastly is there any book on the history and origin of the ten qira'aat. My sheikh knows all 10 qira'aat and he told me there is more but these 10 are the ones supported by text.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
All the authentic qira'aat that are present today are part of the revelation and were recited and taught by the Prophet, to his companions and passed down in authentic chains to the shuyookh who have ijaazah in the 10 qira'aat today. All of the ten authentic qira'aat we have today are part of the seven dialects that the Qur'an was revealed in. We don't know exactly what the seven "ahruf" encompass because there is no authentic hadeeth describing them in detail, but we do know that for a way of reading to be accepted as part of the seven revealed dialects it has to meet certain requirements which all of the lesser ten qira'aat by the way of Ash-Shaatibiyyah and Ad-Durrah and the grand ten qira'aat by the way of At-Tayyibah meet.
There are some qira'aat that do not meet all the requirements to be accepted as part of the revelation either because they do not have enough people passing it down from generation to generation, or it violates the writing or the Qur'an or the Arabic language, or the chain of transmission is not complete. These qira'aat are not part of the ten authentic qira'aat which we have today.
We do not know which of the ways of recitation the Prophet recited the most. This of course encourages us to learn all of the authentic qira'aat and not eliminate any of them. We do know however that he recited all of the ten authentic ways we have today because of the well documented authentic chains of transmission we have of them being passed down from the Prophet through the generations to us today.
There are many books about the ten qira'aat, but they are in Arabic. We are not aware of a complete book in English.
Wa assalaam alaikum.

Joe-Wilfried Tsonga has become the latest in a series of players to withdraw from Wimbledon through injury.
Tsonga becomes the sixth retirement of the day in an unprecedented day of withdrawals and joins Steve Darcis, Victoria Azarenka, Marin Cilic, John Isner and Radek Stepanek to be forced to exit the competition through injury.
The Frenchman picked up a knee injury in his match against Ernest Gulbis, which he received treatment for during the game. The sixth seed was trailing the Latvian 6-3, 3-6, 3-6 when he made the tough decision to retire.
Caroline Wozniacki also appeared to suffer an injury to her ankle after slipping during her defeat against Petra Cetkovska, although she completed the match.
Maria Sharapova, meanwhile, seems to be struggling with the conditions currently and could audibly be heard saying "this court is dangerous", whilst making vehement complaints to the umpire about the state of Court Two.
The second seed in the women's draw is a set down against Michelle Larcher de Brito.
The exit of Tsonga leaves Gulbis to face Fernando Verdasco in the third-round and removes a potentially dangerous quarter-final opponent for Andy Murray from the tournament.

I've trying to load sites created in NetObjections Fusion V8 into essentials.
I've exported a template from V8 as per the migration instructions, but Essentials complains the template file was built with a version that is incompatible with essentials.
I've tried opening a copy of the .nod file & get a similar message.
Is there any way to import the site from V8 to essentials ? There does not seem to be a way to create the site from the existing web pages either (this was an option in V8)
Many Thanks

Kauai, Hawaii Reiseführer
Kauai Zusammenfassung
- Relatively undeveloped compared to Oahu and Maui; Kauai county law prohibits building on all but 4 percent of the island, and no building may be taller than four stories.
- World-class golf at Poipu Bay Golf Course, Kiahuna Golf Club, and Prince Golf Course
- The rugged Na Pali Coast has multiday hikes and some of Hawaii's most amazing views.
- Easily accessible natural wonders like the 10-mile-long Waimea Canyon, towering waterfalls, and gorgeous oceanside rock formations at Queen's Bath and Spouting Horn
- Manageable size; you can drive from the north to south shore in about two hours.
- Range of lodging options, from budget to luxury; plenty of condo rentals and time-share properties offer relatively affordable choices
- State laws prohibit smoking in all public and enclosed spaces, leaving Hawaii virtually smoke free.
- Unpredictable weather -- daily passing showers, some full days of rain (Kauai's Mount Waialeale is the rainiest place on the planet)
- Rocky coastline; lacks the great surfing and swimming beaches found on Oahu and Maui
- Nonstop direct flights into Kauai's Lihue Airport often cost at least $100 more than flights into Oahu, and there aren't as many cities offering nonstop service; direct interisland flights only available from Honolulu and Maui
- Scant public transit; nearly all of the island's top sights are tough to access without a rental car.
- No high-end shopping and not much low-end shopping, especially compared with Oahu
- Food tends to be expensive, except for a few choice plate-lunch options; restaurant options are limited outside Lihue and resort dining
- No nightlife, even by Hawaii's mediocre standards; the few bars are empty by 9 p.m. every night.
- State laws prohibit smoking in all public and enclosed spaces, leaving Hawaii virtually smoke free.
What It's Like
Of the four most popular Hawaiian islands, Kauai is the smallest and least developed, and, some would argue, the most beautiful. Though it doesn't offer the urban comforts of Oahu, the sheer ecological diversity of Maui and the Big Island, or the more remote feel of the less-visited islands of Molokai and Lanai, Kauai draws visitors with the wild grandeur of its lush, mountainous terrain. Its craggy shores provide the backdrop for numerous Hollywood visions of untamed, other-worldly paradises. Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Jurassic Park films, and the 2005 version of King Kong were all filmed here. The 10-mile-long Waimea Canyon, the lava-rock seawater pool at Queen's Bath, and the remote, towering cliffs of the Na Pali Coast are among the world's most unique natural attractions. Although there's ongoing development in Poipu, on the southern shore where most hotels are located, Kauai is still relatively sleepy. Its airport services only six destinations in the mainland U.S.; and, by law, no building can be taller than a coconut palm tree (four stories). As a result, there's hardly a spot on Kauai where human settlement obscures the island's tropical, rustic beauty.
Still, Kauai's not completely isolated. All that untamed beauty draws about a million visitors every year, and while the island lacks the sky-scraping hotels found on Oahu, it certainly has its share of over-the-top mega-resorts, golf courses, and tourist excursions. Although even the best beaches on Kauai are rocky and narrow (both Maui and Oahu have better spots to swim and surf), many of Kauai's beaches are uncrowded or isolated -- ideal for quiet walks, picnics, and picture-perfect views.
Where To Stay
Kauai can be divided into three major vacation areas: the east shore, the south shore, and the north shore. The east shore has the greatest density of mainland-style conveniences -- the airport, the island's only Wal-Mart, multiple grocery stores, and modest cultural institutions like the Kauai Museum. Lihue hotels can be as close as a five-minute drive from the airport, and Kapaa, Kauai's largest city, is about 20 minutes farther. The relative abundance of urban comfort comes with a trade-off: Natural beauty runs relatively scarce here -- the ho-hum drive up Wailua Falls and Opaekaa Falls are the two most popular landmarks. It takes more than an hour and a half to get to either Waimea Canyon or the breathtaking north shore. East shore hotels range from among the island's most basic (Aston Islander on the Beach, Castle Kaha Lani) to gigantic mega-resorts (Kauai Marriott).
A string of more than 20 resorts dominate the shoreline in Poipu, the south shore's main vacation destination. With stellar Kiahuna Beach, as well as two of the island's best golf courses, Poipu Bay and Kiahuna Golf Club, this section of Kauai draws a lot of families to its midrange-to-upscale hotels and condo resorts. The gentle waves, ample sand, and tranquil coves make Kiahuna and Waiohai two of the island's best beaches for families. It's 90 minutes from Waimea Canyon and two hours from the north shore.
Finally, Kauai's north shore offers the easiest access to the Na Pali Coast, Kauai's isolated crown jewel, where the highway gives way to the Kalalau Trail's 11-mile hike through valleys and secluded beaches. The major resort area, Princeville, has the feel of a gated community, thanks to its 27-hole golf course and the tony residences that accompany its hotels. One-lane bridges bring automobiles to a crawl, contributing to a mellow, local-centric vibe in the bayside towns of Hanalei and Haena.

Best Luxury Hotels on Kauai
Kauai's beautiful, unspoiled landscapes are a large part of its appeal, and less build-up naturally means fewer hotel options, but during our exhausstive tour of the island our reporting team stayed at a handful that fit comfortably into the luxury catagory. And, like the island itself, these hotels tend to be low-key and serene (with the exception of the amenity-packed Grand Hyatt).

As the title says..."what's your favourite question to ask a theist"?
You may have many favourites...I would like to hear from you guys about yours.
I have a personal favourite which I often use when they start spouting their spew that GOD wrote the bible at the beginning of time, he created everything....
"OK. If GOD wrote the BIBLE at the beginning of time like you say...some 14.5 BILLION, that's BILLION years ago, What language was it written in?"
Most theists I know don't even know what language JESUS spoke. It's sad really.
Another of my favourites is this one...
"Why did it take GOD 10 BILLION years to make the planet EARTH and then a further 4.5 BILLION years to make MAN?"
There's always a spewy reply of some sort or another which usually gets my goat and the theist is appalled at my outburst of laughter.
So come on you guys....let 'em have it....share your ammo with us.

And if you're "born again," do you get two?
What was Jesus's sexual orientation?
That could never go down well. Maybe among the younger generation. He did surround himself with all guys who wore dresses.
Interesting you should ask that --
Mark 14-51, 52 - the scene is the garden, where Yeshua (Jesus) was arrested:
14: 51 And there followed him (Jesus) a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men (soldiers) laid hold on him.
14:52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
Who was he, and what was he doing there?
Now there were many versions of the Gospel of Mark floating around at the end of the first century, C.E., and many of them were forgeries - some writers of the time, who felt they had something to say but that no one would listen to them, would write something and maintain that a relatively famous person wrote them, to gain readership for their ideas. There were also copies of Mark's gospel, that had been edited by scribes, with words added and/or deleted to make the gospel say what they felt it should say.
In 1958, Biblical scholar Morton Smith, while indexing a library of ancient tests in the Mar Saba monastery, SW of Jerusalem, uncovered a volume, purported to have been written by none other than Clement of Alexandria, himself. Translated, the volume said that Mark had written a gospel for the common man, then moved to Alexandria, where he added to this volume, additional writings intended only for those more knowledgeable, writings that revealed more of the "secrets" that Jesus had confided to his disciples. I could spend pages expounding on whether or not experts believe a) the Clement volume was authentic, and b) the "Secret Gospel of Mark," to which Clement referred, was written by the same anonymous author who quilled the Gospel of Mark, but I'll make a long story short, by saying the jury's still out.
HowEVER, for your perusal and consideration, here's a segment from (maybe) "Mark," as offered by (maybe) Clement:
In this, Jesus has just raised a young man from the dead,
"The young man looked at him (Jesus) intently and loved him; and he (the Young Man) began pleading with him (Jesus) that he (the YM) might be with him (J). When they came out of the tomb, they went to the young man's house, for he was wealthy.
"And after six days, Jesus gave him a command. And when it was evening, the young man came to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. He (YM) stayed with him (J) that night, for Jesus was teaching him the mystery of the Kingdom of God. When he got up from there, he returned to the other side of the Jordan."
I just find it a bit interesting that some young man, with "a linen cloth over his naked body," keeps popping up (no pun intended, you know me) --
As I mentioned, there were a lot of "if's" involved. It just seems strange that both the "Secret" Gospel and the Canonical one seem to have one or more young men flitting around with linen cloths over their naked bodies.
A final thought on that - face it, we're all naked under our clothes, but when describing how we're dressed, one rarely emphasizes that obvious fact. Yet the writer of both pieces ascribed to "Mark," appeared to think it important to stress that the young man was naked under the linen cloth - why would that be important, unless his nakedness was a relevant point?
You think that at one time being 'naked under our cloths' was the norm, and cloths the ab-norm?
It just shows that whoever wrote that part of The Bible was not very skilled at using the red herring technique.
I must admit I've heard the term, but have no familiarity with the definition, much less the technique - you, on the other hand, whom I freely acknowledge to be wiser in all matters nefarious, likely would. Could you elucidate from your infinite well of wisdom?
Six hours, and still no response from the Un-one --
I think its a Zen response, Arch. I think he is saying that your red herring is a red herring. Which arguably, it is.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Millions of Young Adults Preparing to Join Labor Force this Summer
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today offered tips to companies that employ teenagers and called on the employer community to promote fair, inclusive, and discrimination-free workplaces for millions of young people who are preparing to enter the labor force this summer – some for the first time.
At the height of last summer (July 2005), more than seven million young people age 16-19 joined the U.S. workforce, according to the U.S. Department or Labor. "As summer begins, we urge employers to heighten their awareness of workplace issues affecting our nation's youth," said EEOC Chair Cari M. Dominguez. "Proactive prevention is the key to stopping employment discrimination before it starts."
EEOC Vice Chair Naomi C. Earp, who is leading the agency's national Youth@Work Initiative, said, "Many employers rely on young workers to help manage the busy summer months, making such employment a win-win situation. I encourage industries that depend on young workers to be extra vigilant over the next several months, as youth employment swells. Create an environment in which young workers can learn, develop, and thrive. Our next generation of workers will carry the lessons you share throughout their careers."
EEOC offered employers the following tips to promote voluntary compliance and prevent harassment and discrimination cases involving young workers:
In September 2004, the EEOC launched its national Youth@Work Initiative, a comprehensive outreach and education campaign designed to inform teens about their employment rights and responsibilities, and to help employers create positive first work experiences for young adults. Thus far, the EEOC has held more than 1,300 Youth@Work events nationwide, reaching approximately 100,000 students, education professionals, and employers.
As part of the Youth@Work Initiative, the agency is also developing partnerships with business leaders, human resource groups, industry and trade associations, and others to further explore the trends and challenges affecting young people in the 21st century workplace. EEOC's Youth@Work partners include the National Restaurant Association, the National Retail Federation, the National Education Association, and local chambers of commerce.
On May 1, 2006, the EEOC announced a unique federal-state partnership with the Rhode Island Commission on Human Rights and the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority, in which Youth@Work posters are being installed on all public transit authority buses statewide. The posters will remain on the buses throughout the year, reaching an estimated 60,000 young people and adults on a daily basis. EEOC hopes to emulate this partnership effort in other states.
In addition to seeking partnerships with the private and public sectors, the two other main components of the EEOC's Youth@Work initiative are: a youth web site at http://youth.eeoc.gov (English) or http://youth.eeoc.gov/es/ (Spanish) dedicated to educating young workers about their equal employment opportunity rights and responsibilities; and a series of free national outreach events by EEOC Commissioners and field office staff for high school students, youth organizations, educators, and small businesses who employ young workers. Further information about the Youth@Work initiative and the laws enforced by the EEOC is available on the agency's main web site at www.eeoc.gov.

(3 items)
This is a very heavy item. It's about 3 inches tall. The top half has an orange? fruit decoration that is engraved into the metal. It looks like there is some original green paint, but most of the vessel seems either rusty or just worn. It had a reddish black soot inside, and looks like it was pieced together in the middle. I have no idea what it is. I thought it might be an oil lamp, but it doesn't resemble the ones I've seen. It came from an estate of an antique dealer who's items haven't been unpacked in 30 years. It had a price tag of $97.oo from at least this amount of time, so we wonder what he knew that we don't about this piece!! Is it just "Garden Junk" or is it a TREASURE??? Thanks for helping!
**Sooo, my best guess is still leaning toward treasure, but I still haven't had much luck finding any information!! I love the old paint that can still be seen clinging to the metal! Any ideas?

Comics!! (in an easily digestible anthology)
Hey, everybody! Remember that time when my family moved to Portland, and then I never posted any more drawings ever again? Well that time is through! Here are some drawings of a comic I've been working on. Some friends and I have put a comics anthology together. If you dig, you can support us on Kickstarter HERE.
Thanks, and I hope to get back to posting regularly again soon!!

The 1940 Ambassadors - Happy to be one!
3 comments:
I know I can't wait for the 1940 Census. I wonder how long it will take for an index to come on-line.ReplyDelete
Regards, Jim
The indexing cannot start until the images are up. That is why it is so important for EVERYONE to do their part by doing some indexing. It is actually quite fun and surprisingly quick. But we need a lot of bodies. Each image must be indexed by three people, in effect, to have the best chance of the index being good. Hope you will give it a try. ;-)ReplyDelete

LEAR BD4.2: Aesthetics
Founded in 2008, LEAR is relatively a newcomer as an in-ear monitor manufacturer. Their company history is quite unique, because LEAR brand itself is from the mainland China, but is also fully owned & operated by an audio retailer called Forever Source Digital based in Hong Kong. According to the official statement, the company is devoted to creating great aural experience through heavy R&D while offering reasonable price.
And BD4.2 is the ultimate result of their continuous effort, featuring quad balanced armature drivers and dual dynamic transducers coupled in a three-way crossover network, along with its metallic acoustic tubing, quad bore configuration, and an adjustable bass control. I guarantee you: There is absolutely no in-ear monitor quite like this one.
This particular unit is the universal version, LUF-BD4.2 The packaging itself is quite simple, and comes with three pairs of bright(single) sleeves, two pairs of bass(soft foam) sleeves, a pair of reference(tri-flange) sleeves, a pair of balanced(bi-flange) sleeves, and a pair of neutral(hard foam) sleeves. The stock carrying case is so sturdy; it comes extremely handy while on the go. There is also a screw driver used to control the bass control, a shirt clip, and a dust brush.
The Unit
The beauty of BD4.2 comes from its deadly, alive, raw, yet mystical look. Due to the sheer number of components bound together within the unit, the IEM looks like a creature that might have came from the deep sea, where a googly-eyed glass squid, or a crocodile icefish, which shows its internal organs through a transparent body, roams freely in total darkness, searching for food or perhaps a glimpse of light. Its intensively bold appearance shall gather attention from whomever sees it without asking his/her consent!

A graveyard is one of the most accessible sources for studying a community's history. Each one is unique and has its own collection of headstones, many of which will, unfortunately, deteriorate through neglect, weather or vandalism; some eventually becoming completely illegible.
everafter has modernised the way the deaths of our loved ones are recorded. We provide Parishes and Councils with a complete set of up-to-date graveyard records and an online Graveyard Management System to record future burials.
The everafter team recognise the importance of preserving the information held by graveyards and we are committed to delivering a unique, high quality service which will guarantee that an accurate record of the deceased exists everafter.
Many of the cemeteries that have been recorded are from the Magherafelt area of County Derry. There is a flickr site and youtube channel where interested people can upload photographs or videos. The page for each cemetery has a short history of the parish, an interactive graveyard map, historical documents for the graveyard and persons of interest buried there.
My great great great great grandparents Andrew and Rosie Lagan can be found there. If I wish I can have flowers (either fresh or silk) placed on the grave for £25.
The above image is not taken from the website. It was taken by me in 2010 on a trip to Ireland. The Lagans are buried at St John's Roman Catholic Church Graveyard in Swatragh.

Mourinho remains coy on Costa rumours
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho admits signing a striker is 'critical' but refused to say whether that would be Diego Costa.
The Premier League giants have been linked with the star Atletico Madrid striker, who has scored 27 La Liga goals this season.
Mourinho was unwilling to say whether Costa was the man his team were chasing but said a striker was much-needed.
"We are not going to be buying and selling and selling and buying," Mourinho told a news conference.
"We're going to do a couple of critical signings. Is a striker a target for us? Yes, we've never denied that.
"Diego Costa is a good player but he's an Atletico Madrid player so I cannot say much."
Mourinho gave even less in regards to the future of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who is in his third season on loan at Atletico but owned by Chelsea.
"I prefer to say that he is Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper. I prefer to call him that," he said.

2000 GMC Sierra Z71 Final Installment- The Ultimate Z71Posted in Project Vehicles on November 1, 2008
Well if you've just finished reading the " Finish Lines" installment in the January '09 issue then you know that this is the last installment and web exclusive build feature for the Ultimate Z71. It has been a few months now since the truck was finished and completed the Ultimate Adventure. It seems like just yesterday that I picked up the high mileage Z71 and began taking the axe to it with the crew at Off Road Evolution. It's amazing to think how much we've transformed this rig and how tough it was to try and keep it looking as simple as possible. It's goes along with the old saying that a Roll Royce engineers job is easy, do whatever needs to be done to make it right and don't worry about the price, while the GM engineers job is far more difficult. Why you might ask? They are expected to deliver that same RR quality on what most of us would refer to as a beer budget. Well folks it's been fun and this is by no means the end of the Ultimate Z71 as I hope to keep the truck alive and well and when the contractual obligations are over and the truck is no longer in the spot light I have a few plans to give it a fresh appearance.
Thanks for reading,
Feature Editor, Ali Mansour

Lampert Stijl table and bench Lampert Stijl bench Lampert Stijl bench Lampert Stijl cornerbench Lampert Stijl table Lampert Stijl table Lampert Stijl table Lampert Stijl cornerbench amd table Lampert Stijl table and bench Lampert Stijl table and bench
The theme: wooden bench with backrest, modern corner bench with matching table and chair, or each piece on its own… Stijl, the wooden table. With chairs or with bench and chairs or with two benches, or as a corner bench … just as we know it from the Alpine regions and its farmhouses. Only this design is not traditional but contemporary. Homely, yet unconventional. Reminiscent of the archetypical corner bench in mother's kitchen, with its steaming pots and warmth, where the smell of good homemade food whets the appetite, either coming back home from school, work or after a long walk. A space to be together with family, friends and unexpected guests. There's always enough space, you just have to move a bit closer together. The bench and corner bench are available in standard measurements or as a customised design acording to requirements. Made from five layers of solid coniferous wood, with an open pore varnish with a small amount of white pigment. The light white shade gives Stijl its high-quality and contemporary look. Table and bench are also available in solid oak (except for the curved corner element). Additionally, we also offer the Stijl table and bench (without the curved corner element) for outdoor use to enjoy the sunset on a comfortable bench in the garden. The fir or spruce outdoor design uses weather-resistant glue and comes with an oil finish. Alternatively, it is available in a sort of brushed finish similar to the colourful Scandinavian wooden houses: either in the famous Swedish 'ox blood red' or in a matte black. The red and black designs are also perfect for indoor use.
RICHARD LAMPERT: DESIGN ICONS AND CONTEMPORARY DESIGN In 1993, Richard Lampert founded his company, based in the German city of Stuttgart, with the aim of producing innovative and versatile furniture for everyday use.

Mustang MonthlyFeatured Vehicles
Readers' Album - February 2013
Let us hear from you.
Please send photos with information about the car to: Readers' Album, Mustang Monthly, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619. Send digital images via email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Funded by Porsche
After Steve Woo helped his mom sell a '76 Porsche 911S, she rewarded him by sharing in the proceeds of the sale. Steve promptly used said proceeds to purchase a '68 Mustang from the original owner in northern California. Since the purchase of the 302-powered hardtop, Steve has added Coys 17-inch wheels, installed Flowmaster exhaust, and reupholstered the front seats. "My 17 year-old daughter loves the car and asked if she could drive it to high school this year before she graduated," Steve says. "She came home with a huge smile on her face!"
Designated Driver
"I'm one of those guys who actually drives his Mustang," says Dennis Washburn from La Mirada, California. "I put the 302 small-block together with my own two hands and that motor has been taking me from Point A to Point B every day." Purchased in 2006, Dennis continued with the previous owner's Shelby tribute theme, adding a spare tire on the fold-down rear seat and Torq-Thrust D wheels. In 2012, Dennis drove his '65 A-code fastback from Gardena, California, to Las Vegas and back for Shelby American's 50th Anniversary Bash. "She's probably a 10-footer," adds Dennis. "But she's my DD and I would not want it any other way."
Wild Saleen
The little space here in Reader's Album isn't nearly enough to list the modifications on Brian Longo's '04 Saleen S281. Brian provided a list of 81 mods on his 24,000-mile Saleen, most of it done at Anderson Ford Motorsports. Highlights include a MMR900 engine with Kenne Bell blower and 493 rear-wheel horsepower, Tremec T-56 trans, H&R lowering springs, Saleen/Racecraft suspension components, Wilwood front brakes, Saleen/Borla mufflers with center-exit, and CCW wheels. "This is my third Saleen," Brian says. "I wanted one more radical than the others." Right.
Senior Express
Janet and Ted Ewing prove that the older generation loves the new generation of Mustangs. Admittedly "pushing 70," the Ewings, fittingly from Texas, purchased their '13 Mustang GT Premium strictly as a fun car. "With Corsa cat-backs, it really talks the talk and walks the walk," Ted says. "The appearance demands attention and the great sound really turns heads. For most people, the surprise comes when they notice the senior-citizen driver and passenger .We're the last of our generation and loving it!"

Thoughts on War
Often during times of conflict we are consumed with the pressures of the present: How did we get where we are? How will we survive? What will happen to us? More than 230 years ago, the people of revolutionary America faced decisions that dramatically changed their world. They chose liberty and sacrifice and risked all they had to give us what we have now.
Today, as then, our thoughts are on war. The people of Colonial Williamsburg share their thoughts about yesterday…and a struggle that helped fashion America.
"I can only imagine how Rev. James Waddell must have felt as the war progressed..."
Bryan Simpers interprets the character of Reverend Waddell for Colonial Williamsburg.
"I think back 'twas not so very long ago that I was the wife of the best of men..."
Lucy Smith interprets the character of Betty Randolph for Colonial Williamsburg.
"I do remember the more pleasant times indeed when I first came to this colony, but much has happened over these past years..."
Dennis Watson interprets the character of Alexander Purdie for Colonial Williamsburg.
"In this year of 1781, you wish to hear my opinion of the war against the British..."
Cindy Gunther interprets the character of Peachy Purdie for Colonial Williamsburg.
" 'We mutually pledge to each other our Lives,
our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.' So
ends the Declaration of Rebels against authority."
Jack Flintom interprets the character of John Randolph for Colonial Williamsburg.
"Lord, it's a long way to Norfolk..."
Richard Josey is managing interpreter of historic events and interprets
the character of Peter Southall and other characters for Colonial Williamsburg.
"Most people think that the war would cause a lot of extra work for gunsmiths, but as a matter of fact most gunsmiths ended up fighting in the war as soldiers..."
Clay Smith is a journeyman gunsmith for Colonial Williamsburg.
"Good day to you. My name's Robert Evans. I'm a free black....."
Harvey Bakari is manager of program planning and production
and interprets a number of characters for Colonial Williamsburg.
"As a printer during the revolutionary period, printers had a problem acquiring their materials—the paper, the ink, the type had to be imported."
Willie Parker interprets the printing trade for Colonial Williamsburg.
"The 1770s was a period of great upheaval
for artisans like us..."
Ed Wright is a journeyman harpsichord maker for Colonial Williamsburg.
"You wish to know what I think of this war of independence..."
Sharon Forsher is a supervising coach of character interpretation and
interprets the character of Anne Christian for Colonial Williamsburg.
"I have been desired to express my sentiments regarding the thought of going to war..."
Richard Schumann interprets the character of Patrick Henry for Colonial Williamsburg.
"Mr. Jefferson, what do you say to someone
who's going to war?"
Bill Barker as Thomas Jefferson
"…A wheelwright in the colonies in war time, depending on the particular wheelwright, who may have very strong feelings one way or the other about the war, could decide he's going to join up and offer his services."
Wheelwright Christopher Wright
"These are uncertain days. Our nation, our world, is beset with worries of war..."
Colin Campbell is the chairman, president, and CEO,
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

Friday in Vienna was a bit of a busy one so I'm going to split it into 3 instalments. It was our free day, to do as we wanted with the afternoon booked to do a Segway Tour. More to come on that in the next post.
I'm not exactly an early bird but Julie is, however we didn't wake until 9.20am! Our room was so dark and so quiet, dispite being on a busy ring road around Vienna, we were knocked out. We must of needed it and when we went down to breakfast we weren't the only ones who'd had a lie in.
Our hotel was minutes from the shops and not the tacky souvenir shops either but beautiful jewellery, clothes and shoe shops. A womans paradise.
This shoe shop was amazing, we all had to go in and browse. So many beautiful shoes.
We didn't have a lot of time to actually shop, but we did a fair bit of window shopping and grab a bite to eat.
Here's Monica helping herself to the contents of Pete's wallet. Such a lovely bloke.
Natalie & I.
An action shot of Nat helping me up without us both falling in the fountain.
Spot the tourists
We were taking photos of the Opera House. They were showing Tosca that week which we did try to get tickets for the previous night but sadly weren't able to. They have a huge screen outside though, so whilst the opera is on people can stand on the street to watch and hear it. It would of been amazing to see an Opera - something I've never done.
A really beautiful City.
And then we we were back to the hotel to get ready for our Segway Tour. A treat I was determined to experience and boy was it fun.
Back soon with the full adventure...

Marble has moved to being Cartwright's backup, averaging more than 20 minutes per game in conference play, buy WOMENRA online cod.
The impact has been felt by both players, Buy WOMENRA no prescription, Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said on Friday.
"I think Cartwright has been solid," McCaffery said, buy cheap WOMENRA. "We're killing the kid, WOMENRA dose, but he keeps coming, has a great attitude. WOMENRA FOR SALE, Marble, we have to get going, he's too good of a player. I have to make sure I get him enough minutes to get in there."
Playing the minutes he has played doesn't bother Cartwright, buy WOMENRA online no prescription.
"When I came here, WOMENRA pharmacy, Coach said I was going to play a lot, so I was prepared for this," he said, buy WOMENRA without a prescription. "I've been in this role before, WOMENRA australia, uk, us, usa, so it's nothing new."
Marble, though, has struggled with the adjustment, WOMENRA from canada. He's averaging 3.7 points per game in conference play, Buy cheap WOMENRA no rx, shooting just 28.6 percent from the field. He has made just 1-of-9 3-point attempts, and he has also struggled at the free-throw line, going 1-of-8, WOMENRA FOR SALE.

As Cartwright's backup, WOMENRA trusted pharmacy reviews, Marble has to be a ballhandler, WOMENRA interactions, which means he's going to be more of a focus on opposing defenses. That has cut down on his scoring opportunities. WOMENRA FOR SALE, "I don't get as many open shots now," said Marble, who has been scoreless in the last two games. "Now that I have the ball in my hands, WOMENRA schedule, the eyes are on me."
Asked if being the backup point guard has hurt Marble's development, Online buying WOMENRA, McCaffery said, "No question, no question, WOMENRA without prescription. And to his credit he doesn't complain about it. Buy no prescription WOMENRA online, He doesn't whine. If I put him at the '1', he plays at the '1', where to buy WOMENRA. If I put him at the '2' he plays at the '2', WOMENRA FOR SALE.

"I'm going to do what the coaches ask me to do," Marble said, WOMENRA from canadian pharmacy. "Anything I can do to help the team."

"I'm eating healthier, preparing more, WOMENRA natural, staying in the best shape as possible," Cartwright said. "I know I'm going to play a lot of minutes."

"I think when you have Cully as our point guard, it's a different kind of player there," McCaffery said. "He's going to get in the lane and he's going to find (guard Matt) Gatens and he's going to find (forward) Eric May. He's looking to help his teammates out more so than score for himself. I'm not saying Bryce doesn't do that, he does, but Bryce, he's trying to make plays and he's trying to make baskets, as well. WOMENRA FOR SALE, "I think having Cully with Bryce would have been nice, too, to be able to have Bryce play some off‑guard and penetrate and give us some different options. So he's not here. So we go with what we've got."
McCaffery said Payne's injury means the Hawkeyes will be looking for some guard help as they recruit for the spring signing period.
Iowa has two scholarships remaining, and McCaffery likely will be looking for either a point guard or a combo guard. Josh Oglesby, a prep shooting guard, signed in the fall.
"Yeah, we are looking hard at guards," McCaffery said, WOMENRA FOR SALE. "We have two (scholarships) left. And you know, you never know. You're going to take the best available. We'll ultimately take the best available regardless of position but in a perfect world you take a guard and a (frontcourt player)."
