OCC Bulletin 2006-13| March 16, 2006
Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks (Regulation CC) and Collection of Checks and Other Items by Federal Reserve Banks and Funds Transfers through Fedwire (Regulation J): Amendments to Regulation CC and J Addressing Remotely Created Checks
Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks, Federal Branches and Agencies, Technology Service Providers, and All Examining Personnel
The Federal Reserve Board has approved amendments to its Regulation CC that define "remotely created checks" and create transfer and presentment warranties to shift liability for an unauthorized remotely created check to the institution where it is first deposited. The Board is also adopting conforming cross-references to the proposed new warranties in Regulation J.
In place of a signature, a remotely created check generally bears a statement that the customer authorized the check or bears the customer's printed or typed name. Remotely created checks can be useful payment devices. For example, a debtor can authorize a credit card company to create a remotely created check by telephone. This may enable the debtor to pay the credit card bill in a timely manner and avoid late charges. However, remotely created checks are vulnerable to fraud because they do not bear a signature or other readily verifiable indication that payment has been authorized.
Traditionally, the paying bank bears the risk of liability from an unauthorized check. However, in order to help reduce the potential for fraud, the amendments to Regulation CC create transfer and presentment warranties under which any bank that transfers or presents a remotely created check would warrant that the person on whose account the check is drawn authorizes the check. The warranties would apply only to banks and would ultimately shift liability for losses attributable to an unauthorized remotely created check to the depositary bank. These amendments would not affect the rights of checking account customers, as they are not liable for unauthorized checks drawn on their accounts, or any defenses a depositary bank may have in such cases.
The amendments are effective on July 1, 2006. The Board's Federal Register notice is attached.
Questions may be directed to your OCC supervisory office or the Compliance Policy Department at (202) 649-5470.

mericon MON 810 Corn Kit
For real-time PCR detection of MON 810 corn in food or animal feed
The mericon MON 810 Corn Kit is designed for the target-specific detection of MON 810 corn in food, animal feed, and pharmaceutical products. The assay uses a real-time PCR-based protocol and forms part of the comprehensive QIAGEN food testing portfolio, which also features dedicated sample preparation kits and assays for pathogen detection and ingredient authentication. The mericon MON 810 Corn Kit performs optimally on the Rotor-Gene Q, but has also been validated for block thermal cyclers.
Buy Products
The mericon MON 810 Corn Kit is intended for molecular biology applications in food, animal feed, and pharmaceutical product testing. This product is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.
Product Details
The mericon MON 810 Corn Kit is designed for the detection of MON 810 corn in food and animal feed. The mericon MON 810 Corn Kit can detect as little as 10 copies of target DNA in a reaction and exhibits high specificity for MON 810 corn. No cross-reactivity was observed with other genetically modifiied organisms or with other plant or animal species using 50 ng of tested DNA (see the table "Results of mericon MON 810 Corn Kit cross-reactivity study").
Results of mericon MON 810 Corn Kit cross-reactivity study
The mericon MON 810 Corn Kit was developed for the qualitative detection of the genetically modified organism (GMO) MON 810 corn (one of the most frequently used genetically modified corn lines worldwide) in food and animal feed samples. The corn line MON 810 was developed through a genetic modification resulting in resistance against the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) by producing Bt‑Toxins of Bacillus thuringiensis.
Detection of GMOs using real-time PCR is based on the amplification of a specific region of the relevant GMO genome. The amplified product is detected using target-specific fluorescent probes that bind to it. As the PCR product accumulates, there is an increased fluorescent signal from the bound probes. Monitoring the fluorescence intensities during the PCR run (i.e., in real time) allows the detection of the accumulating PCR product without having to re-open the reaction tubes afterward.
mericon PCR Assays include an internal control to control potential inhibition. This aids in the straightforward interpretation of the results (see the table "Summary of possible PCR outcomes").
The PCR primer set for each assay is highly specific and targets either a genetic construct that is commonly used in GMOs or a DNA sequence that is specific for a particular GMO. These targets were verified bioinformatically and experimentally.
DNA is extracted from a sample of food or animal feed using a dedicated sample preparation kit. QIAGEN's DNeasy mericon Food Kit is suitable for a wide range of food matrices, including those with high inhibitor contents.
The isolated, pure DNA is assayed using a streamlined real-time PCR protocol that returns results in 82 minutes on QIAGEN's Rotor-Gene Q. The protocol has also been validated for use on other thermal block cyclers.
The results are displayed as easy-to-interpret PCR curves.
The mericon MON 810 Corn Kit is for real-time PCR-based detection of GMOs containing MON 810 corn in food, animal feed, and pharmaceutical products.

I can't believe it's already been a month since I was in France. It was such a perfect first trip. In exactly one week we were able to see three totally different places – Evian, Aix-en-Provence, and Paris.
First up was Evian for one of my best friend's wedding. We've been friends since we were five so of course I had to go to France to see her as a beautiful bride.
We flew into Geneva and took the ferry from Switzerland over to France (amazing how easy it is going country to country). The very first thing we did (before we even checked in) was have café on the dock of our hotel.
We looked out towards Switzerland as we soaked in the fact that we were finally in France. So breathtakingly beautiful.
Looking back at our hotel (Les Cygnes) from the dock — it was truly RIGHT on Lake Geneva.
The wedding location —Hotel Royal in Evian overlooking Lake Geneva…
…with the French Alps in the background.
Next was Aix-en-Provence…
The city was founded in 123 BC.
Our first meal in Aix– a seriously legit Salad Niçoise.
Lots of lovely soap at the market :)
An incredibly relaxing afternoon at Thermes Sextius in Aix-en-Provence (a full review coming soon)
And then there was Paris…
Beautiful buildings like this everywhere you look.
Loved seeing this — a store closed until August 25th for very good reason :)
So cool to finally see this iconic structure in person.
Our view as we picnicked in the Luxembourg Gardens.
Another beautiful spot in the Gardens.
Bumped into Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) & her husband, Jeffrey, right outside our hotel!
In tea-smelling heaven at MARIAGE FRERES in the Louvre.
The Eiffel Tower from another angle.. hard not to keep snapping pics.
I can't wait to go back.

First broadcast

Japanese themes
A Bite to Remember (Japanese: グラエナとポチエナ!進化の神秘!! Guraena and Pochiena! Mystery of Evolution!) is is the 11th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 285th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 6, 2003 and in the United States on December 13, 2003.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Ash and his friends are traveling through a forest with many Pokémon. Max keeps exclaiming loudly and moving towards various Pokémon, scaring them away. Then a group of Mightyena come around and display hostility. Ash's Pikachu, Brock's Forretress and May's Torchic are ordered to attack them. They start to battle, but then a Poochyena comes running in, followed by Katrina. She explains that this is a Pokémon reserve. Brock starts trying to woo her, causing her to get uncomfortable, and the Mightyena attack him.
The scene cuts to Team Rocket, who have heard that the woods are supposed to be full of Pokémon, but haven't seen any. Then they notice one and suddenly they spot several more that they'd overlooked. Wobbuffet pops up, holding some kind of sign. Reading it, they see that it's a notice indicating that this is a Pokémon reserve. They immediately start plotting to steal Pokémon.
It cuts back to Ash and friends, who have followed Katrina to the preserve center, when the sick and injured Pokémon are cared for. Brock starts claiming that he, too, is a doctor and while going on about it, the Poochyena Tackles him. Katrina scolds it and Brock claims that she even scolds beautifully! Soon after, Poochyena is sleeping and Max listens to the Pokédex entry about it. Then he and Katrina start talking about when Poochyena will evolve, and she reveals that Poochyena is the same age as the group of Mightyena they met, but hasn't evolved yet, probably because it only uses Tackle. Katrina says that she is not worried - it's not a problem if it takes a long time to evolve or even if it never evolves. Max protests that Mightyena are much more powerful than Poochyena, and starts extolling the benefits of evolving to the Poochyena. May starts thinking about her Torchic evolving, and her and Max talk about how much he wants to see a Pokémon evolve and how they might get her Torchic to evolve. Ash tells them they can't just get a Pokémon to evolve because they want it to - they have to gain experience first, and it takes a while. Max complains about why things take so long, and Brock says if it were easy to evolve Pokémon, it would not be so fun. Ash elaborates that Pokémon only evolve after they've done a lot of work with their Trainer, and says that the getting to know each other as the Pokémon are getting experience is part of the experience. They start talking about why Pikachu has not evolved after all this time, and Ash says there are different kinds of evolution. Brock explains that some Pokémon, such as Torchic and Poochyena, evolve with experience, while others such as Pikachu need a certain item to evolve.
Max insists he wants to stay there awhile because Poochyena must be ready to evolve any time. Katrina says there's no guarantee Poochyena will evolve soon, but she does have room if they want to stay. Ash wants to hurry on his way to challenge the next gym, but Brock immediately accepts. Max tells Poochyena he'll do everything he can to help it evolve. It cuts to Max getting Poochyena to battle Torchic and urging him to use Bite instead of Tackle. Torchic finally gets fed up and scorches both of them before walking away. Then it cuts to Ash feeding Pikachu a snack and Max comes in to ask if he can borrow Pikachu or another of Ash's Pokémon to fight Poochyena. May says he'll probably just get them to lose deliberately so Poochyena can evolve, to which Ash says that such faked battles aren't good for Poochyena.
Later, Max is watching Poochyena fight one of the Mightyena, using tackle over and over, and get discouraged. Ash comes up and says lots of Pokémon are happy the way they are and don't want to evolve, such as Pikachu. He asks if Max understands, and Max says he knows Ash doesn't want him to cheat, and unexpectedly calls Poochyena and runs off with him. Ash and May are puzzled, but then Katrina comes up and shows them part of a trap for catching Pokémon. Ash and May realize there are poachers in the forest. It cuts to Team Rocket standing beside a pile of Pokémon trapped in a net and saying "we rock!" Then they start fantasizing about a promotion and the benefits that will result, such as Jessie getting a new house.
It cuts to Max and Poochyena, Max saying "this looks like a good spot" and discussing plans to attack any Pokémon who aren't flying-type and don't have special attacks. Team Rocket is watching and plots to steal the Poochyena from the "mini-twerp". Max then tells Poochyena that although it is good at tackling, it's only effective if the opponent is its size or smaller, so he has to start using Bite. Team Rockets comments that he's trying to evolve it into a Mightyena, and decide to give him some "help". Max then starts looking for something for Poochyena to attack, and spots a machine.
He starts examining it with interest, then decides to just walk away from it. Team Rocket, disguised as scientists, come up and explain that they're doing top secret research and don't want Max to tell anyone about it. Max agrees, then asks what they're researching. James says they don't want to tell him, but "unintentionally" let it slip in the process. He gets sheepish, and Jessie says that now that Max knows, why shouldn't they demonstrate? They put Meowth into the machine, pull a lever, and open it to reveal Meowth in a Persian costume. Max is fooled and very amazed.
Max asks if they can do it some more, and they turn the "Persian" into a Sunflora, which really surprises Max, who protests that it's not possible for a Persian to evolve into a Sunflora. Jessie says that's what they told Albert Einstein before he invented the light bulb, to which Max says Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. They quickly move on and proceed to go through a series of other such changes, then it cuts to Meowth trying to decide which costume to put on next. He delays too long and they knock on the machine, so he hurriedly puts on several pieces of different costumes. This really makes Max suspicious. Jessie and James stand in front of the machine and offer to give the Poochyena a try. Max says he knows it's rigged and starts to leave with Poochyena, but Jessie snatches it and reassures him that they do it all the time. They put Poochyena into the machine, and a moment later are holding Max back as he tries to get free. They tell Meowth to go ahead and the machine appears to explode.
Next thing, Team Rocket is thanking Max as they are about to leave with Poochyena and the other stolen Pokémon in their Meowth balloon. Max insists they give it back, and they refuse. Just then, Katrina, Ash and friends arrive, and Katrina accuses Team Rocket of being the poachers and they proceed to unmask themselves and do the motto. Then they use a machine to grab Pikachu and start to float away. Katrina, Ash and friends give chase. Ash releases his Taillow, who starts Pecking Jessie and James. They stop piloting their balloon and it gradually floats to the ground, for which Ash congratulates Taillow. Max urges Poochyena to bite through the net in order to free himself and all his friends. Poochyena is scared, but with enough encouragement, he does it. They all fall to the ground, Team Rocket looks dismayed, and just then Taillow's persistent pecking causes James to loosen his hold on the Pikachu-grabber, and it releases Pikachu. Then Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, which causes Team Rocket to blast off again.
It cuts to Max congratulating Poochyena for finally using bite and saving the day. He says Ash is right - Poochyena's great whether he evolves or not. Poochyena comments happily and then begins to evolve! Max and May don't understand why Poochyena is glowing, but Katrina explains that it's beginning to evolve. The newly evolved Mightyena lets out a triumphant howl, Max is amazed, and the other three Mightyena come to congratulate their companion.

Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Dec. 11, 2008)--Sandra Mendoza, a December graduate-to-be with a B.A. degree in sociology, is the fall 2008 winner of the UTSA Office of Information Technology Laptop Award. The winner is selected from graduates of the Academic Development Program (ADP) in UTSA's Tomas Rivera Center for Academic Success.
The 10th recipient of the Gateway laptop award, Mendoza is the first in her family to attend college and earn a bachelor's degree. Throughout most of her time at UTSA, Mendoza worked in the Office of the Vice Provost for Accountability and Institutional Effectiveness. She plans to earn a master's degree sometime in the future, but along the way her focus will be to give back to the community and to be a role model for other young Hispanic women.
"What impressed the selection committee the most about Sandra was her drive to break the stereotype of what it is to be an Hispanic female growing up in her community," said Cynthia Rodriguez, ADP director. "She emphasized that she owes so much to her parents for their support along the way. On behalf of UTSA and our collaborative partners, congratulations go to Sandra for all of her accomplishments."
A laptop computer and an award certificate were presented to Mendoza by Lee Gildon, chief operations officer of the UTSA Office of Information Technology; Julius Gribou (UTSA executive vice provost and interim chief information officer) and John Moder, vice president and chief operating officer of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU). The program is co-sponsored by the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) and UTSA.
Others attending the presentation ceremony were Mendoza's brother, Julio Mendoza; her friend Dishanti Persad; Ana Esquivel, HACU executive director of development; Lawrence Williams, UTSA vice provost and dean of undergraduate studies; and Leticia Duncan-Brosnan, executive director of the UTSA Tomas Rivera Center.
A winner is selected each fall and spring semester from ADP students who apply for the award. ADP students are admitted to UTSA on a provisional basis; laptop awardees are selected from participants in the program who have developed their academic standing and will graduate with a minimum 2.50 GPA. Applicants must submit an essay detailing their academic and work experience.
>> UTSA Fall 2008 Commencement ceremonies are Dec. 18-20.

Discover our range of burgundy, wine and maroon trouser braces all available for next day delivery.
Good choice and very good service
Items easy to find on web site and delivered within ststed timescale. So far braces appear to be good vallue
Quicker than expected delivery, product fully met exceptions.
Reasonable price, good quality and exceptionally quick delivery.
Well made. Strong clips.
Braces exactly as advertised. Very satisfied with the quality and the prompt delivery .
Fantastic products. Most braces I've had in the past from high street retailers have been available in One size only and were too short with only one anchor point at the back. These are brilliant. Delivery was quick.
I was looking for braces with strong clips and these are just the job.
Very pleased as the grips seem most secure and I like the colour, too.
Delivery was much quicker than I had expected and the quality of the braces are high. Will probably buy from here again in the future
such a pleasure to use braces which hold to the trousers and not keep slipping off as clip fastenings do.
These braces are comfortable and stylish.
My order for "airport safe" braces was delivered promptly. Excellent product. Shame they only come in black. I like the strong plastic clips. I would think they will last me for years.
from my son, he says, great fit well made, thank you.also 10 star for your post service.
Very happy with the product and the service and will reorder
Great product. Just what i wanted.
Excellent quality and fast delivery. Very satisfied.
Very happy with the braces we chose, quick delivery and good prices
very pleased with my braces
Braces came quickly very impressed with quality and service provided
Very wide and strong elastic.. so comfortable to wear plus don't ping loose if you are doing something energetic. Very good value
I love my braces! They're sturdy and well-made, the clips are strong and I look dapper as heck. Already recommended British Braces to ladies who come up to me in the bathroom to compliment me on my braces.
Best Braces I've ever worn. Excellent service too!
Excellent service and goods
Quick postage. Quality braces, although the children's aged 5-8 braces that I bought come up pretty small on my (somewhat petit) 7yo. It fits, but only just. Another surprise is that they're american braces resold, rather than british braces, which the website name might suggest.
My only caveat is that the braces are not British. The numerous pairs I have had from BB have all been made in the USA, but this is a very minor point compared with having your trousers fall down and exposing you to general ridicule.
Brilliant service and very good quality. Given as a present my husband was delighted.
This was my second order from British Braces. The first was for two pairs, BB-255 and another pair (I don't recall the stock number). I didn't start using the second pair until one of leather ends on BB-255 had torn. The other pair were described as 'heavy duty' and the leather fasteners were so thick and inflexible that I found them very difficult to fasten to my trousers; I discarded them. I shall be ordering from British Braces again, but I shall only want braces with leather fasteners like those on BB-255. It would be helpful if your web site could give an indication of those braces that have these kind of fasteners.
Brought as a present for my dad and he absolutely loved them. Very good quality.
Stunning, excellent, luv em, quick delivery. The US braces are very good quality particularly the clips.
Supplied exactly what I wanted, with heavy-duty clips that don't slip off, and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend British Braces
Good choices available and quick delivery what more can you want.
Good braces just what I was looking for.
I bought a pair of broad white button on braces which were delivered within 48 hours. They are of excellent quality at a good price. Took me two goes to get the front buttons on the trousers in the right place but I am very pleased with the result and the improved comfort.
I have a complaint I received two pairs of British braces in a very short time whilst opening the packet my neighbour who was by my side said they look good can I have a pair! So now I need to order some more braces from you.
I'd looked for some braces in 'leading retail' outlets but they only did usual skinny versions. Being rather Old School I reluctantly turned to the webbything and thankfully found this company. Good choice of size and designs to choose from and well chuffed with the two pairs I bought and at a reasonable price. Excellent service.
At long last I have a set of braces that fit! (I'm 6'3"). Very happy chappy
Bought as a gift and recipient was very pleased
Prompt delivery and good quality braces
Great quality braces, arrived quickly and well packaged. Lovely present for my husband.
I have now purchased 2 sets of braces from British Braces and both are of very high quality at a good price. Both were shipped efficiently with good packaging. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that in addition to my order, I also wrote to them with a question that I hoped they would answer, but have not received anything back. Outside of this small issue I rate them highly and will order again.
Very good quality and service
Bought these for a friend and he was over the moon with them. He told me these are the best braces he owns.
Excellent choice and efficient delivery. Good robust braces.
Ordered some braces for my brother for christmas, perfect! He's a mechanic and DIY man and the braces were a tape measure with tools on, brilliant, totally pleased with British braces.
Well made and very strong
We brought these braces as a Christmas present and they certainly delivered! The braces are very well made and the recipient remarked on how comfortable they were.Lovely jazzy braces, would definitely buy from you again!
These are the first ones that my husband has had that dont ping off and are long enough .. brilliant
The width of the braces is excellent. All in all very satisfied with everything.
Ive had 2 orders from you & both were excellent ,good"s are good quality very strong & well made .
Fast delivery and nice quality. He is very happy with these.
Excellent, quick, no fuss service! Did exactly what it says on the tin, plus it feels good to buy British!!! Thanks 👍
Excellent product, received within days of order and will definitely be using your company again
Great product delivered in good time. Thank you.
Better than I imagined feel comfortable. Thanks.
My order arrived very promptly and packaged well. The braces themselves are far better quality than I had ever imagined, they are very well made and the clips are wide and very strong and grip extremely well, great for heavy motorcycle trousers. They are well worth the money and I would definitely order from here again.
Lovely product, fair price and super quick delivery
Best place, in my opinion, to buy braces. Excellent quality and fast delivery!
Clip on braces brought for my husband in wine colour . Excellent quality and colour and does the job whilst looking very stylish
The braces are really good quality and the clasps are strong. We are so happy with them we are buying 2 more pairs
Perfect service and perfect fit.
Excellent, very pleased with my British braces. I do like the extra width off them. I will be buying from them again.
Best ever braces well made and robust
I am very happy with the braces I bought which replaced a pair that was always coming loose. Yours don't. Very pleased with the price and prompt delivery.
Bought these for my husband. He loves them
Excellent products and service. I shall use this company again.
Very happy with the quality and are causing a great deal of friendly comments from the public
Delivered quickly and very pleased with the fun Xmas gift "DIY" braces"- would recommend.
excellent product !
Thank you for a very prompt delivery and high quality goods.
So many designs on the braces to choose from. Ordering was straightforward and delivery prompt.
Well made great variety of designs and quick delivery times. Reasonably priced as well.
Excellent in quality of product and service from this company
Good choice at sensible prices with on time delivery - very pleased with the items purchased.
Wonderful service. Braces ordered on Saturday and received on Tuesday.
just what I was looking for. a special Christmas gift for some
Ordering was easy, delivery brilliant but can't comment on the quality as I bought them as presents and they have not yet been opened!
Your braces are really wonderful. It is impossible to find similar quality and design in Italy. I bought 6 pieces two years ago and now I have bought further 4 pieces and I'm very happy.
Just loved them
Bought 2 pairs and my other half is very happy. They are comfortable to wear, look and feel good too. Neither of us can believe that it is possible to get such good braces for so little money. Pity I only know one person who wears braces as these are ideal presents.
Easy to order, quick delivery and hope he likes them for Xmas.
Excellent service at a good price
Great braces, swift despatch however based on my experience or ordering other items from the UK I feel that the postage to Europe is a bit steep...
Cannot complain - they do there job fine, tanks.
Great range, something a bit different.
I buy these for my husband every birthday & xmas,he is always delighted with them. EXCELLENT
Proper braces with heavy duty clips and adjusters - perfect for holding up waterproof trousers. Highly recommended.
Very high quality braces. I got them to be a part of a Finnish Winter War officer's uniform as they closely resemble the Finnish originals.
Excellent braces that I bought for my husband. They are the only pair that actually stay attached to his trousers.
These braces are lightweight and are very functional. Fits any trousers and the clips are robust . This is my second purchase and the first purchase is still in good order after 12 months of wear. I would recommend these braces.
Strong well made braces 😎
Ordered 4 braces, all in great condition, durable, overall they look smart when worn. The 'Olive' colour I had ordered seems more green than olive, which is slightly annoying as my partner requested Olive and not green, when opening the parcel immediately I saw the green braces, and they could very well be the green braces as on your website, but, I'm leaning slightly more towards that's how the olive green comes out for this company, not as it looks in the picture.
Very pleased with order and quick delivery time 5 star rating
Received and so far so good. Happy customer.
Present for a friend - no grumbles
These are exactly as described, strong and well made. They are a pleasure to wear for work and formal occasions.
Excellent Service
Great quality. Just what I needed. I'll come back to this site when I next need to hold up my trousers in style.
Great quality, very quick service, delivered on date stated! Very pleased.

OK, the second statement up my ass yesterday was Kenan Thompson's commentary on Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna. Asked whether Saturday Night Live would ever invite Brown back, Thompson said:
It's not up to me, but I'm sure we would if he had another hit single. We don't care about scandal. We just care about what brings us ratings!
I don't know if I'm more disturbed by the fact that he saw nothing wrong with saying that — because hey, what's a little domestic violence, besides an embarrassing scandal? — or the fact that it's probably true. I do, however, know what I'm most disturbed by, which is how he followed that up:
I don't know the whole story, but I know how women can get when you get a text message from another female, so I'm just saying, you have to learn that you can't put your hands on a female.
I don't even have words. "You know, I understand how tempting it is to beat a woman when she's acting all nutty because she found, you know, evidence that you cheated on her or something — but you just don't do that, dude! LOL!"
Not to mention the "I don't know the whole story" part. YOU GENERALLY DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE WHOLE STORY IF YOU KNOW THE END OF THE STORY IS THAT A MAN BEAT A WOMAN.
I mean, if I thought people were saying shit like that just to cover their asses in the very unlikely event it's proven that Brown's violence was in self-defense, I could understand, even though it would still make me angry. But it's clear that that's not why. It's clear that way too fucking many people, who are getting way too fucking much press, believe that there is an entire range of things women can do that would justify an assault. They're not just acknowledging that a woman might, in some rare cases, physically attack a man in such a manner that the only way for him to protect himself would be to keep fighting back with his fists. They're saying — openly and unashamedly — that sometimes, you know, women really deserve a beating. Period. And the implication is that guys who don't give into that overwhelming temptation to attack their wives or girlfriends deserve a goddamned cookie.
Need another example? Jezebel provided a sickening one this morning. Ne-Yo, after noting that the leaked pictures of Rihanna "really hurt me to my heart, man," went on to say:
I'm not going to crucify [Chris]. I'm not going to do that. That's still my homeboy at the end of the day. For it to go to that level was wrong. I won't say who was responsible. I won't pick no sides. I'm just saying it was wrong it had to happen like that, and I'm praying for the both of them.
Emphasis mine. Remaining loyal to a friend who's committed a crime is one thing. Acting as if it's impossible to determine who's responsible for a man assaulting his girlfriend is fucking perverse. ONE PERSON COMMITTED VIOLENCE ON ANOTHER PERSON. There is so far nothing to suggest that it was in self-defense — and you can bloody well bet we would have heard about it by now if anyone were advancing that argument, even half-assedly. Ergo, THE PERSON WHO ASSAULTED THE OTHER PERSON IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE.
It is so profoundly sickening and infuriating to me that we keep seeing quote after quote from celebrity after celebrity suggesting that it's impossible to know whether Chris Brown is truly at fault for committing a violent crime, because we don't know how Rihanna acted leading up to it, or whether this had happened before, or what. As if there is some amount of anger, some amount of yelling, some amount of freaking out that could ever, ever justify assaulting another person. As if it matters whether this was the first time or the hundredth time, in terms of determining whether Brown is the kind of guy who would beat a woman, or a guy who just happened to beat a woman. As if a woman who goes and gets "how women can get" clearly bears some responsibility for a man attacking her.
As if we all agree that wanting to beat a woman is quite normal and understandable, but acting on it is… unseemly. "You have to learn that you can't put your hands on a female."
I'm out of words for this. Have at it, Shapelings.
ETA: While we're on the topic, look what I just found at Feministing:
Wife-beaters.com, a Dallas-based business that sold wife-beater T-shirts, has been shut down after a San Antonio man complained to the company hosting the site.
…The Web site sold white tank tops, commonly referred to as "wife-beaters,"and gave a discount to anyone who could prove they were convicted of wife beating.

Q: Now that my plants are gone, how do I protect my fish?
Vicky – Chatham, NH
A: This time of year, aquatic plants are tough to find in backyard ponds. Cold temperatures and fewer hours of sunlight make all the lush greenery die off or go dormant for the winter — and that leaves your fish high and dry and without any protection from hungry predators, like raccoons, herons and passing coyotes.
The lack of lily pads, hyacinth leaves and other plant cover also means more sunlight will penetrate the water. All those rays can lead to algae blooms and poor water quality, which is not something your hibernating fish will appreciate.
So how do you protect your finned friends from hungry bad guys during the sparse winter months? Here's what we recommend.
- Create fish habitats: Because fish will naturally hide in crevices between rocks and other sunken debris, replicate that environment by creating fish habitats and caves. Prop up some slate slabs to make a fabricated lean-to. Build extra hiding places with clever rock placement. Provide an ecosystem that will encourage them to do what's natural.
- Install fish shelters: In the winter, fish will intuitively head to deeper water where it's warmer and safe from claws, paws and beaks. But to add another layer of protection — particularly if your pond isn't that deep — give them plenty of sheltering options. Install a Koi Kastle or two. Lay down some empty flower pots or short lengths of 4-inch PVC pipe. Give your finned pals plenty of options to hide, just in case predators stop by the pond.
- Crank on your aeration system: As your aeration system bubbles and infuses oxygen throughout the water, it creates water surface movement that can help camouflage your fish from overhead predators. The aerator will also keep the water churning, and create a hole in the ice for gas exchange. If it's not running already, now's the time to crank it on!
Until your plants start growing again, keep your fish safe and sound with these simple steps – and do it before the frigid temperatures really kick in.

In a bid to obtain the support of Africa and the SADC, Andry Rajoelina has been touring Africa meeting with the presidents of Mozambique Armando Guebuza (Apr 20, 2011), South Africa Jacob Zuma (May 17, 2011) and Angola Jose Eduardo dos Santos (May 18,2011) pleading for support on his illegal governments in a bid to be recognized internationally.
The illegal head of Malagasy government has been pleading the case that they are in full compliance with a corrupt or horribly misinterpreted SADC road map and that they are making all the preparations for a 'free' and 'open' election sometime between May and November 2011.
This road map that calls for 'inclusive' dialogue and the formation of a national unity government led by the consensual prime minister and a consensual and inclusive reorganized government. This new transparent, consensual and inclusive is in charge of running the country, cooperating with the international community and setting the conditions for a free, fair and credible election. This does sound good at first blush, but almost immediately after working through the road map, Rajoelina had appointed Camille Vitale as prime minister once again. While this is not 'technically' breaking road map rules as Camille Vitale is not officially part of the HAT as a party member, but it definitely breaks the spirit of the road map as Vital is Rajoelina's right hand man and Rajoelina unilaterally appointed him, there was nothing consensual about his appointment.
The problem with all these negotiations is that there will never be a free, fair, or credible election because it is precisely what Andry Rajoelina doesn't want. Rajoelina has consistently shown no respect for the spirit of any road map or accord calling for the formation of a consensual, transparent transitional government. Every time an agreement has been reached, he has been quick to appoint members of his own party to the most powerful and influential parts of the Malagasy government, leaving the scraps for the opposition parties. He has also shown no respect for the constitution of Madagascar simply going into the 4th republic of Madagascar by having a referendum that was riddled with problems and irregularities and subsequently by altering the constitution so that he can legitimately be president and adding all sorts of clauses to suit his agenda such as demanding presidential candidates live in Madagascar 6 months before the election while at the same time banning their entry to the country.
So under these conditions, how will it ever be possible to pull Madagascar out of this crisis? Rajoelina can and will continue manipulate the rules of Madagascar, ban demonstrations and arrest dissidents. The SADC road map is flawed and it seems as though the general consensus on the internet by international parties is that they would be quick to accept any SADC resolution, flawed or not. Madagascar is destined to be stuck in this quagmire of a coup for a while as Rajoelina has nothing to lose, and will not stop his manipulation of his own country until he is internationally recognized as the legitimate president of Madagascar.
Until he is, the country will be stuck in a state of poverty while the de facto president uses whatever money the country has to periodically goes on tours in Africa, France and possibly some parts of Europe to promote himself as the saviour of Madagascar who is unfortunately illegitimate and to try and garner support for his cause. So expect there to be more SADC proposals and talks, stalling and diversion as well as periodic vain tours to try and convince African/French leaders to take up his cause.

Ain't love a b***h, Carrie? That's a bummer your man's so far away. So you're in ChiTown, remind me how far away is he again? I want to say Colorado or somewhere near there...I'll have whatever you're having. Better to drink with friends when you're down - though a whole case might be a bit too much. But we'll play it by ear... So do you have plans to move out to be with your fella sometime soon? I'd guess yes based on your location blurb in your profile here. If so, just try to keep that happy thought in mind right now!
Better than sappy old Matt MegaBucks
Carrie, I would love to help you move but my old & frail back would not allow it. That & my tennis elbow.

Police release the name of the naked man who dragged officer down road
Police say William Whitaker was driving a pickup truck and caused several accidents on a major road Friday night.
Fort Smith police say an officer responded to a call about an accident around 6:35 p.m. on Phoenix Avenue.
Police say when the responding officer, Capt. Ed Smalley, approached the pickup truck involved in the crash, he noticed Whitaker was naked.
Officer Steven Creek was also working the scene. He said when Smalley approached the pickup truck, Whitaker attempted to drive away.
"Captain attempted to turn off the key to his ignition. That's when the subject grabbed captain's arm and accelerated dragging him down the road and into another vehicle,"said Creek.
Officers said Smalley was lucky enough to kick away from the truck and break free. He then immediately got back in his car and pursued Whitaker. Officers said Smalley did what he thought was best in the moment.
"He was shook up anytime an officer gets put in that situation its a hard situation to be in. You have a split decision to make how do you react,"said Creek.
According to police, it was then that Whitaker drove the pickup truck veered into oncoming traffic, causing a head-on collision.
Police say Whittaker and his passenger were both taken to an area hospital with was police are calling "somewhat serious" injuries.
Police say they believe Whitaker was driving under the influence of alcohol when the accident took place.
Police say Whitaker will face several charges including, leaving the scene of an accident, fleeing, DWI and aggravated assault.

During this long election cycle, we've seen some pretty ridiculous and appalling campaign rhetoric. We've seen the liberal SuperPAC insist Mitt Romney was responsible for the death of a woman with cancer. The Obama campaign gave the notion that Romney may have committed a felony. We are now seeing Obama campaign on smaller things–like saving Big Bird and giving the false narrative that Romney and the GOP are against women.
But nothing is as despicable, insulting and morally insensitive as the new ad, paid by Obama For America, that likens voting for Obama to losing your virginity.
The ad features actress Lena Dunham who is basically sending a message to younger voters that their bodies should be used as a sex symbol and that they are nothing more than a bedroom necessity.
This is a continuation of the left's narrative of so-called women's rights. This is nothing more than a rallying call for women to vote with their vaginas, and not with their brains. Instead of focusing on jobs and the economy, the left wants to tell women to have sex with whoever they choose and that we should provide them contraceptives for their sexual activity.
In a cultural society that is already experiencing a moral decay, the last thing our current generation needs to see is a presidential campaign that adheres to advancing sexual promiscuity.
I can imagine the outrage and disappointment expressed by parents as they realize that their son or daughter may be exposed to this filth and garbage that is being displayed by the liberal left.
The Obama campaign has sunk to a new low. While the president is definitely running on empty, this latest ad completely shows that he lacks the qualifications of a leader. I ponder to think if this is something the President would deem as appropriate to show to his two young daughters.
The structure of the American family has been victimized by the decline of principles and values in our secular society. We need leaders who will be role models and teach our kids that they are divinely created by God and that they must make the case for him, not sex. We need people who would encourage us to lead by example.
The President has failed to do so. Vote wisely in November.

This week, Morgan Marquis-Boire and Bill Marczak of the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab provided a disturbing look into the likely use of a commercial surveillance program, FinFisher, to remotely invade and control the computers of Bahraini activists. After the software installs itself onto unsuspecting users' computer, it can record and relay emails, screenshots, and Skype audio conversations. It was deployed against Bahraini users after being concealed in seemingly innocent emails.
In one example decoded by Marquis-Boire's team, the message was crafted to appear to be from Melissa Chan, a journalist working for Al-Jazeera English. The attackers were using Chan's reputation as a journalist to trick their victims into opening the document.
Chan now works for Al-Jazeera in Jerusalem, but when she was a correspondent in China she was the target of email attacks herself. In an attempt to take control of her real Gmail address, a message was sent to her from someone implying they were connected to China's "Jasmine revolution." The independent Bahraini newspaper Al-Wasat said it has been targeted with fake messages from sources as well--not to deliver malware, but to trick it into running false stories the government then used to try to discredit the paper.
Fake email sources are relatively easy to imitate. The "From" address used in the Bahraini attack was not Chan's own email address, but a throwaway Gmail account that looked like an address ("[email protected]") Chan might conceivably use.
Broad caution with unknown correspondents is a defense: If you don't download attachments and don't click on links in strange emails, you aren't vulnerable to the hacking attacks these emails are designed to allow. When I spoke to Chan about the attacks in her name, she noted that "many people do not look at the email address, but just the 'Last Name, First Name.' ... There were one or two times when I wasn't sure about the sender and I wrote back asking them to identify themselves in a way I'd know was definitely him/her."
That's a good technique, but it's even better if you can use an alternative medium for your fact-checking. Use a phone call or instant messaging to confirm a message before opening any attachment. If an attacker has already used malware to take control of another users' computer, they may have access to private information. They can also act as a "man in the middle" online, relaying email questions and answers between two unsuspecting correspondents--but able to spy or add their own fabrications. A live phone call is harder to fake.
In terms of sophistication, it's hard to know what to think of the Bahraini espionage revealed by Citizen Lab. In some ways, the masquerade was clumsy--but, then, if it had been more convincing, it may have gone unnoticed. We only see the results of unsuccessful espionage. Still, even that is enough to see the damage being caused to the reputations of journalists and the safety of their communications. Security services faking messages from real journalists in order to spy on activists is a grave danger to press freedom.
Citizen Lab's analysis demonstrates that spyware supposedly made for law enforcement purposes by the UK company Gamma International is now being used in ways that no democratic society can tolerate. Gamma should immediately reveal whether they have been selling this technology to the Bahraini authorities and what it intends to do to prevent abuses from recurring.

New Dilemmas for the Prisoner
By Brian Hayes
A paradoxical game becomes even stranger with the discovery of novel strategies.
A paradoxical game becomes even stranger with the discovery of novel strategies.
At the police station two suspects are questioned in separate rooms. Whoever talks first gets the better deal, the detective tells them. But they know that if they both keep quiet, they might beat the rap.
Television scriptwriters have drawn on this situation for countless plots. Game theorists have seized on it, too, but theirs is a more abstract and austere art form. They strip away the grimy crime-story details, leaving a formalized contest known as the Prisoner's Dilemma. Gone is the threat of jail time; the game is played for points. Each player must choose either to cooperate (stay silent) or to defect (confess) and must make the choice before learning the other's decision. If both players cooperate (cc), they earn three points each; if both defect (dd), they get just one point. If one player defects and the other cooperates (cd or dc), the defector receives five points and the hapless cooperator gets nothing.
A player devising a strategy for this game might reason as follows. "If my opponent cooperates, I'm better off defecting: I get five points rather than three. If my opponent defects, I still gain by defecting—one point versus none. Defection wins either way." Of course the other player reaches the same conclusion. Thus they both wind up with a paltry single point, even though they know they could have gotten three points by mutual cooperation.
In a single game against a player you'll never meet again, there's no escape from this doleful logic. But the options are more complicated in Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD), where you play a long series of games against the same opponent. The repeated encounters favor cooperative strategies that benefit both parties. A further refinement adds a Darwinian element to the game, with a population of players whose average scores determine their fitness and hence their probability of survival. In this case, too, cooperation can pay off.
Prisoner's Dilemma has been a subject of inquiry for more than 60 years, not just by game theorists but also by psychologists, economists, political scientists, and evolutionary biologists. Yet the game has not given up all its secrets. A startling discovery last year revealed a whole new class of strategies, including some bizarre ones. For example, over a long series of games one player can unilaterally dictate the other player's score (within a certain range). Or a crafty player can control the ratio of the two scores. But not all the new strategies are so manipulative; some are "generous" rules that elicit cooperation and thereby excel in an evolutionary context.
As a human predicament, Prisoner's Dilemma is surely ancient, but as a formal game it was invented in 1950 by Merrill M. Flood and Melvin Dresher of the RAND Corporation. Interested in how human subjects deal with situations of conflict, they recruited two colleagues to play 100 matches in quick succession. Without any prearranged strategy, the players achieved mutual cooperation in 60 percent of the games.
A decade later Anatol Rapoport, a mathematician and psychologist at the University of Michigan, undertook further experiments and analysis. Then in the 1980s Robert Axelrod, also of Michigan, organized a series of IPD tournaments for computer programs. The big winner was one of the simplest strategies, called tit-for-tat, submitted by Rapoport. A tit-for-tat player always cooperates in the first round of a match and thereafter echoes the opponent's previous move. Thus cooperation is rewarded with continued cooperation, and defection is punished by reciprocal defection.
Tit-for-tat is not an optimal strategy in the mathematical sense—guaranteed to prevail over all comers. As a matter of fact, it can never outscore an opponent; it always plays for a tie. Nevertheless, tit-for-tat performs remarkably well against a wide variety of other strategies. From the success of this simple rule Axelrod extracts some lessons for IPD players: Never be the first to defect; retaliate immediately when betrayed; relent after a single cycle of punishment.
Last year's big surprise in Prisoner's Dilemma research came from two distinguished polymaths. William H. Press of the University of Texas at Austin began his career as an astrophysicist, became expert in numerical methods of computation, and in recent years has turned his attention to problems in biology. Freeman J. Dyson of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is renowned as a physicist, mathematician, author, visionary, and all-around deep thinker. The story of how Press and Dyson came to make their discovery is almost as interesting as the result itself, but I have room here only for the latter.
Press and Dyson studied IPD strategies in which the next move depends only on the immediately preceding round of play, ignoring all earlier history. It might seem that players with a longer memory would have an advantage against such forgetful opponents, but it turns out the "shortest-memory player sets the rules of the game." Suppose your opponent has a "memory-one" strategy, but you base your moves on a deeper history—perhaps the past 10 or 100 plays. Press and Dyson show that there is a memory-one strategy that would have exactly the same effect on your opponent.
Every round of play in Prisoner's Dilemma has four possible outcomes: cc, cd, dc, and dd. A memory-one strategy is a list of four numbers that specify a player's probability of cooperating following each of these events. For example, the tit-for-tat strategy is encoded in the sequence of probabilities (1, 0, 1, 0): always cooperate after cc or dc, always defect after cd or dd. Another interesting strategy, nicknamed Pavlov, has the signature (1, 0, 0, 1): cooperate when you and your opponent have made the same choice (cc or dd), defect when you differed on the previous move (cd or dc). Both of these strategies are deterministic, with all probabilities either 0 or 1, but that's not necessary. The strategy (½, ½, ½, ½) describes a player who chooses moves completely at random.
Given any two strategies, a computer program can simulate an IPD match between the players, keeping track of how often each outcome (cc, cd, etc.) appears in the results. With a long enough run, these frequencies converge to a "stationary state," which represents the expected outcome of the match. A handy property of memory-one strategies is that it's not actually necessary to run such a program; the stationary state can be calculated directly, without tracing through the game move by move. This shortcut makes it easy to explore a wide spectrum of game strategies.
Press and Dyson were doing just that when they noticed something odd: There are memory-one IPD strategies that allow you to seize complete control over your opponent's score. Superficially, such a strategy looks like any other—it is encoded in a fixed set of four probabilities—but the strategy makes for a strangely one-sided game, where a player's actions have no effect on his or her own score.
The one-sided rules are members of a newly recognized class of strategies that Press and Dyson call zero-determinant strategies. The name reflects the line of reasoning that led to the discovery—the strategies appear when the determinant of a certain matrix of probabilities is set to zero—but this fact is not especially helpful in understanding how the strategies work. What sets them apart from other memory-one strategies is the presence of certain algebraic relations between the four probabilities. For example, in one subset of zero-determinant strategies only the probabilities for cc and dd events are freely chosen; they then determine the cd and dc probabilities. As a result of such dependencies the stationary state of the game is controlled entirely by one player's strategy, without any input from the opponent. This is a situation that "allows much mischief," Press and Dyson write.
One mischievous strategy might be called the dictator: It unilaterally sets the other player's long-term average score to any value between the mutual-defection payment and the mutual-cooperation payment. (For the standard payoff values 0, 1, 3, 5, that means anywhere between 1 and 3.)
Consider the strategy (4/5, 2/5, 2/5, 1/5), where the four numbers again indicate the probability of choosing to cooperate after cc, cd, dc, dd, respectively. If Y plays this strategy against X, then X's average score per round will converge on the value 2.0 after a sufficiently long series of games, no matter what strategy X chooses to play. In the lower illustration on the previous page X responds to Y's coercion with four different strategies, but in each case X's average score gravitates ineluctably toward 2.0. It should be emphasized that dictating X's score does not require Y to make any active adjustments or responses as the game proceeds. Y can set the four probabilities and then "go to lunch," as Press and Dyson put it.
A second form of mischief manipulates the ratio between X's score and Y's score. If SX and SY are the players' long-term average scores, the strategy allows Y to enforce the linear relation SY = 1 + M (SX – 1), where M is an arbitrary constant greater than 1. X has the option of playing an always-defect strategy, which consigns both players to the minimal payoff of one point per round. But if X takes any steps to improve this return, every increment to SX will increase SY by M times as much. Press and Dyson call the technique extortion. As an example they cite the strategy (11/13, 1/2, 7/26, 0), which sets M = 3. If Y adopts this rule, X can play always-defect (or tit-for-tat) to limit both players to one point per round. When X chooses other strategies, however, Y comes out ahead. If X plays Pavlov, the scores are approximately SX = 1.46 and SY = 2.36. To maximize his or her score, X must cooperate unconditionally, earning an average of 1.91 points, but then Y gets 3.73 points.
The discovery of dictatorial and extortionate strategies came as a great surprise, and yet there were precedents. Aspects of the discovery were anticipated in the 1990s by Maarten C. Boerlijst, Martin A. Nowak, and Karl Sigmund. Moreover, not all of the zero-determinant strategies are exotic ideas that no one ever thought of trying. Tit-for-tat, the most famous of all IPD rules, is in fact an extortionate zero-determinant strategy. It sets M = 1, forcing equality of scores.
Watching the coercive strategies in action (or playing against them), I can't help feeling there is something uncanny going on. In a game whose structure is fully symmetrical, how can one contestant wield such power over the other? In the case of the dictatorial strategies, the symmetry isn't so much broken as transformed: When I take control of your score, I lose control of my own; although there's nothing you can do to alter your own score, you have the power to set mine.
The extortionate strategies can't be explained away so easily. There really is an asymmetry, with one player grabbing an unfair share of the spoils, and the only defense is to retreat to the policy of universal defection that leaves everyone impoverished. IPD seems to be back in the same dreary jail cell where it all began.
One possible escape is to put the game in the larger context of evolutionary biology, where Prisoner's Dilemma offers a framework for understanding how cooperation might arise in an environment that seems to reward only selfishness. The Darwinian mechanism "closes the loop" on the game: Each agent's probability of success or failure depends on the composition of the entire pool of players, but the composition of that pool depends in turn on which players succeed and fail.
Soon after the Press-Dyson report appeared, Christoph Adami and Arend Hintze of Michigan State University tested various zero-determinant strategies in an evolutionary simulation. The coercive strategies did well against certain opponents, but eventually they were displaced by other players, most notably Pavlov. The reason is that a "nasty" player can become a victim of its own success. The reward for winning in an evolutionary game is to become more common in the population, with the result that you encounter more members of your own species. Dictators and extortionists do not thrive in that environment. Thus Adami and Hintze concluded that zero-determinant strategies are unlikely to evolve in the wild.
Over a long series of games one player can unilaterally dictate the other player's score.
But this is not the end of the story. It turns out that not all zero-determinant strategies are weapons wielded by brutes and bullies. Alexander J. Stewart and Joshua B. Plotkin of the University of Pennsylvania have identified a set of "generous" zero-determinant players that form a mirror image to the extortionate ones. An extorter tries to claim more than his or her fair share, but when this gambit fails must accept the low payoff for mutual defection. A generous player offers to accept less than a fair share of the average payoff as an inducement to mutual cooperation. In other words, the generous player is willing to be a patsy if that's what it takes to secure cooperation.
Generous behavior might seem like a maladaptive invitation to abuse, but Stewart and Plotkin found otherwise. In a series of evolutionary experiments, the generous subset of zero-determinant strategies were the dominant species in all contests except those with a very small population (fewer than about 10 individuals). Stewart and Plotkin went on to prove that generosity is a "robust" strategy, able to establish itself and proliferate in a diverse population and then repel invasion attempts by others. Apparently it pays to put up with a little unfairness if that leads to greater opportunities for beneficial cooperation.
Is that the moral of the story? The players of these games are very simple and mechanistic; they are algorithms, not personalities. Nevertheless, it's hard to resist giving them value-laden labels such as "extortionate" or "generous." Axelrod's analysis of tit-for-tat clearly echoes the fundamental principle of lex talionis: take an eye for an eye (but no more than that). The evolutionary results of Stewart and Plotkin hint at a new dispensation: Mercy is greater than justice.

Clarion CX501 Car Stereo $299.99
We've come along way since 8-track tape decks and the Clarion CX501 Car Stereo is certainly proof of that. This receiver features a nice, clean design that's not only easy on the eyes, it's also easy to use and install. It has multiple capabilities and extra features and most importantly, it sounds great.
One of the neat tricks of this Clarion system is a nice treat as well: it automatically synchs to your cell phone as soon as you start the engine. If instant and constant communication is your thing then you're set. Could life get any more convenient? Yes, and it probably will soon thanks to companies like Clarion. It should also get safer too. It's not exactly safe to be holding a cell phone to your ear while driving. In fact, it's illegal in some cities. The Clarion car stereo eliminates that with built-in Bluetooth. If you simply have to be on the phone constantly, whether for business or pleasure, the sound quality of calls through the car speakers is pretty great too. It helps to have decent car speakers, however. If you don't, then don't blame your receiver.
The most standard feature is the AM/FM tuner (does that really even need to be stated?). Depending on your phone or music player you have the option of streaming your songs through the Clarion unit. The USB port allows you to use your iPod or iPhone, Android, MP3 player or whatever manner of portable electronic gadgetry you're into. Your audio player or phone will not experience any loss of battery power either. It will stay charged for as long as it's plugged into the receiver. Of course, you can still get your twentieth century kick by playing your favorite CDs or CD-Rs (MP3 or WMA files will play, no problem).
If you're an audiophile and a stickler for sound perfection, you'll appreciate some of the features of the receiver. The built-in amplifier includes Magna Bass EX which gives a nice boost to the low end. There's also a 3-band parametric equalizer which does not come standard in factory radios. High- and low-pass filters give you more sound control as do the preamp outputs.
If you want to take advantage of the receiver for your radio listening pleasure, that's not hard to do. You can add an HD Radio tuner to get more choices than you'll get from the standard AM/FM tuner and the addition of the SCC1 tuner which will allow you to tune into SIRIUS satellite transmissions. This could potentially make your morning commute a little more entertaining. It gives you more options at any rate. There is no subscription to satellite radio included, of course, but you can easily kick your listening experience up a notch if you want to go that route.
If you're serious about keeping your hands on the ten and two steering wheel positions, that's a little easier to do with an adapter (not included) which will allow you to use the steering wheel controls. It should work in most makes of cars. Probably not my parents '78 Chevy Malibou, but you can't have everything.
From a purely aesthetic standpoint, it's a pretty good looking piece of equipment. You can match the faceplate to the interior of your ride with 728 different illumination settings—you can even change it every day depending on your mood, but that might be a little obsessive. One drawback is that if you're cruising on a bright sunny day, the glare can render the display a little hard read. This is true from both the driver and passenger seats, but we're nitpicking here a bit, there's really not much you can do about the sun. Since, we're on the subject of the display, the two line display itself is a little limiting, I would have preferred a multi-line display and a few more audio controls. The menus were a little too complicated for my simple brain at times, but that could be rectified by spending a little more time with the manual. I do like the giant volume control knob that lives large in the center of the console for easy twiddling.
All in all, this is a quality, user friendly device that will have you up to speed with the latest in music and telecommunications technology. You don't have to be a techie to take advantage of the basic components, and additions and upgrades don't get too complicated either. For design, efficiency and ease, there's little to find fault with in the CX501.

As you might remember, last week I posted inspiration photos for my 'budget-friendly' bedroom makeover... here is the result! The 'before' photo is on the left. I spent a total $150.
One of the biggest finds for the room was this headboard. I picked it up at a thrift shop in Waldo for $20. I recovered it in a quilted cream fabric that cost $15. I also created the needlepoint looking euro pillow cases and the accent pillow with the embroidered pheasants. The brass lamp was also found at the thrift shop for $10.
These are the pillow cases I made. I really loved the needlepoint looking fabric. Also, I love that I can just change the cases of these pillows and change the entire room's accent color to, say, blue?? Maybe in the spring.
I reorganized the desk to be functional and less 'bed-side-table'-esque.

text: Stevie Shae deserves to have the spotlight permanently fixed on her curvaceous body. As you can see, Stevie's bod is as smokin' hot as they come: her big tits are a perfect mouthful, her stomach is flat and toned, and her butt is plump and juicy. Her favorite kinds of shoots are features, big productions with make-up and unique costumes, especially when they take her deep into the California deserts. That said, she's always down to worship a big cock on a small production, or have her plump butt and toned gym-body rubbed and teased like in her wet and wild Dirty Masseur scene. In her off time, Stevie blows off steam at the gym and relaxes with spa days and her own homemade facials. She's also a great cook, and loves to slave all day in the kitchen to set a big, bountiful spread for her friends. Stevie shot her first porn video at the ripe old age of 19, and her natural beauty made her an instant hit in the teen category (it also made her perfect for couples porn like you'll see on Babes). No matter the size of the cock you throw at her, Stevie delights in deepthroating it tip to tail.
