Jack's radio career began in 1951 in Lewiston, Maine. Since then, there's been a long list of outstanding stations he has worked for, including WIP, WCAU, and WWDB in Philadelphia and WNBC, WNEW, and WOR in New York. He's also done network radio (NBC's "Monitor") and worked a couple years for the People's Radio Network and the Sun Radio Network.
From around 1986 to 1989, he was the mid-morning talker for WFLA before moving back north. After deciding he didn't want to work for someone else, he directed his energies toward a career in real estate, but that was relatively short-lived. He eventually returned to radio work for Central New Jersey's WCTC-AM in New Brunswick.
Today (2012) Jack continues to ply his trade as the host of WCTC's morning show weekday mornings from 6 to 10 AM.

|Decisions, decisions...
Inspiration, this is a bit of a tough one to pinpoint. I have to admit the way my next subject meets the bench is varied. Sometimes I'll see a movie or TV show which leads me to a strong desire to build the ship in that sci-fi classic or WWII combat vehicle. Other times, I want to do a build to commemorate a special anniversary, like Lamborghini's 50th or Alfa's 100th, both which made me want to complete my Miura an Giulietta Sprint GTA by the end of the year (and both which are previous on-the-shelf builds). Aston Martin celebrated their centenary and I have a beautiful Tamiya DBS sitting in my stash. Other instances, I'm flipping through the pages of a model magazine and I see a build that catches my attention. Then as the year draws closer to an end, I'm inspired to get as many in-progress builds completed before the new year, hoping the number of completed builds is greater than the previous year. And of course there are new releases, which have the power to make me forget everything. As soon as the box arrives, I have glue and x-acto in-hand and I just can't help myself, further motivated at a chance to be the first to post it on an online build
Like I said, it's a tough call to pin down what inspires my next build, doesn't matter too much as long as I get to put glue to plastic. _pL

The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) on Thursday morning confirmed the cattle disease had been detected at a dry stock beef farm.
The farm has been placed into lockdown, with no animals allowed in or out.
MPI says it tracked the disease there by tracing animals' movements from farms known to be infected.
MPI won't reveal which farm it is, but has informed the neighbours which are at "very low" risk of also getting infected.
M bovis, a bacteria, can cause a range of serious health conditions for affected cattle including untreatable mastitis, pneumonia, ear infections and swollen joints. It can be hard to contain because animals can carry the disease without showing any symptoms.
M bovis poses no risk to humans, but has the potential to cause millions of damage to New Zealand's important agricultural industry.

Homeland Security
No American ever wants to relive the attacks of September 11, 2001. Hundreds of our friends and neighbors were murdered on that horrific day; over a decade and a half later, Long Island is still mourning the heroes we lost.
Though we have made a lot of progress since 2001, I know that the New York–Long Island region remains the number one terrorist target in the country. As the Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence and as Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence's Emerging Threats Subcommittee, I am absolutely committed to strengthening our national security and confronting al Qaeda, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and their violent Islamist extremist allies and affiliates, head on. That is why I have supported the PATRIOT Act and worked hard to pass legislation securing our ports, our chemical plants, and our airports. I have also reached across the aisle to pass legislation protecting our rail and transportation systems.
The safety and security of all New Yorkers and Long Islanders – indeed of all Americans – depends on our national security and law enforcement professionals. They can count on my support, and I will continue to fight for effective homeland security and intelligence programs and policies.
Support for First Responders
Our law enforcement and first responders are heroes and our first line of defense against terrorist attacks in the U.S. I have been a tireless advocate for homeland security funding for New York City and Long Island to support training, equipment, intelligence sharing and other counterterrorism capabilities vital for law enforcement and first responders. It has been an honor and one of my greatest responsibilities to stand with these heroes and ensure they have the tools they need to protect our communities and way of life.
Weapons of Mass Destruction
A terrorist attack with a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear agent in a U.S. city would be catastrophic. That is why the Securing the Cities (STC) Initiative, which places radiation detection systems throughout the New York region and other major urban areas, is so vital. I have fought to ensure that this program continues to receive funding to support efforts in New York and expand detection capability in other locations. I am proud to cosponsor H.R. 655 to permanently authorize the STC program. Additionally, I am pleased to report that legislation I introduced to make the anthrax vaccine available to first responders was signed into law (P.L. 114-268).
Homegrown Violent Extremism
The threat of homegrown terrorism and violent Islamist extremist radicalization is the most prolific threat facing the Homeland. The people of New York were again reminded of this on Halloween when Sayfullo Habibullaveic Saipov killed 8 people in the name of ISIS and in December when ISIS-inspired would-be suicide bomber, Akayed Ullah, set off a homemade explosive device at the Port Authority Bus Terminal subway station. In the 112th Congress, in my capacity as Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, I held a series of hearings examining the extent of this threat. Since then, I have continued to try to shine a light on the problem of radicalization in the United States. With the multiplication of al-Qaeda-affiliated and jihadist groups worldwide, and the growth of ISIS, the threat of radicalization has worsened.
I have held several Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence hearings on the threat posed by radicalized individuals and to examine efforts to detect and deter terrorist travel. I have cosponsored legislation to improve the Department of Homeland Security Visa Waiver Program to better protect against the evolving threats posed by foreign fighters. So far in the 115th Congress I have Chaired hearings on enhancing our domestic security and improving how we can vet and handle suspicious activity reports.
As the diaspora of fighters and ideology spreads, there will be long-term consequences and a direct threat the West and the U.S., as observed in on-going attacks and activity by radical Islamic splinter groups all over the world. The war against Islamist terrorism must involve multilayered approaches so that we can stay ahead of our enemy.
Homeland Security and Intelligence officials have repeatedly warned, that even small terrorist networks and lone wolves pose an online threat. Cyberattacks can be very dangerous because they do not require a large amount of resources and capital to inflict great damage. As the only senior member of Congress serving on the two Committees with the largest cybersecurity oversight mission, I have made it my goal to ensure we are building an effective cybersecurity program across the federal government. It is imperative that DHS, the Department of Defense and other government agencies work hand-in-had to monitor and assist our critical infrastructure, and to support one another.
Border Security
As the nation looks to address immigration reform, it is imperative that we gain operational control of the border. Even though Congress passed and President Bush signed into law the Secure Fence Act, which I sponsored in 2006, only 350 miles of fencing and 299 miles of vehicle barriers have been built along the 1,994 mile southwest border. Enhancing border security and enforcing immigration laws is not just an issue for border states. We have seen the consequences of weak policies throughout Long Island in terms of increased gang activity and a drain on social services. I look forward to working together with the new Administration to secure our international borders and enforce existing laws.

Parent Testimonials:
"I have to thank you. We put Leo in karate to help him build confidence. He was so shy and very timid. It was important to us as parents to give him something to help him build a foundation of inner strength and confidence. He has come a long way. He found the strength inside himself. He is strong and confident on the inside. We are so proud of him. We have you all to thank for that".
The Vazquez Family!
About a year and a half ago, our son was asked to leave his daycare center because of behavioral issues. He was disruptive, argumentative and had trouble following adult directions. My husband and I were distraught. After taking medical leave to be home with him, we found a new school where his behavior was tolerated a little better. As far as extracurricular activities were concerned, we looked into Gym classes, mommy and me classes, soccer etc….but nothing seemed to work. About 10 months ago we enrolled our son in the 4 year old action karate program. In the beginning, as expected, he was a handful. We were pleased to see that Action Karate was well versed in children with ADHD. He had a one on one instructor and one on one classes when needed (all of which is included in the monthly price which was really nice.) Our son has come such a long way since last year, at school and during karate class. Because of karate, he has learned discipline, respect, confidence, following adult instructions, and self-regulation. My husband and I thought we were going to put him on medication but at this point he has shown such strides since starting karate that we no longer entertain that idea. The reason I am writing this letter is to thank each and every one of you for your time, patience and genuine concern for my son. I don't think he would be where he is today without Action Karate
With much appreciation
"We started at Action Newtown just over 3 years ago by enrolling my son. Now all 5 of the children train and THIS Mom just earned her 1st degree Black Belt! I can't say enough great things about this studio, our instructors, and sense of community/family. Love, Love, LOVE!" Cheri Tigh Foster
"We would like to thank you again for the FANTASTIC birthday party for my son! The kids had a wonderful time!! Many thanks to Mr. Joe and Ms. Sue for making our son's party special"
Sue Lubanski
"Thanks for a spook-tacular Halloween class this morning Wonder Woman… I mean Miss Anne! Our friendly ghost Chase had a blast!"
Lisa Jacobsen Caudill
"Ryan H. just had an AWESOME board breaking party this afternoon. Special THANKS to Miss Susan Tooker Morgan, Mr. Joe Collins, Miss Kayleigh Quinlisk and Miss Courtney Murtha for doing such a great job and and for making sure everyone had a FANTASTIC time. You ROCK!"
"The improvement in my daughter in the last year is incredible. She has improved her grades and her listening skills are much better. She has taken on much more responsibility around the house. Her progress continues to amaze me! She is not only improving in her academics, but her self-esteem has grown as well!" Ami T.
Since my son has started with Action Karate we have seen him grow in many ways. When he first started coming to karate he was reserved and for the most part kept to himself. Since then, he has become more assertive and expressive in positive ways. We see how much he looks forward and enjoys class with Mr. C. and how he always strives to attend as many classes a week as possible. After receiving his orange belt, he asked us if he could help with the Asah Shark and Little Ninja Classes. As a result, he is now in Leadership Training. He looks forward to fulfilling his role as a Leader in Training with the kids. We are so proud of you, keep up the good work! Yvette C.
Thank you! I believe that Dylan is addicted and says the creed over and over again at school and home. I think what you guys at Action Karate do is awesome. David's self-esteem has improved so much since he started. Dylan has more focus and more coordination (even his teacher has seen a difference.) David and Dylan had a blast at the tournament! Dylan loves his trophy and walked away very proud of himself. David's confidence is through the roof since Saturday. He received 3rd place in Kata and 3rd place in combinations (which we were so proud because of it being out of 15 children.) Not bad for a few months! The judges were incredible and gave great constructive criticism for David.
Have a great one!
Our 9 year old son has finally found a sport that meets his needs & desires. Action Karate has provided him with an opportunity to develop his core strength, his coordination, his balance and self-defense skills.
Action Karate is so much more that an exercise program, however. It has provided our son an opportunity for leadership, community and personal growth.

Dear Mr. C and Birthday Staff:
Thanks so much for providing my daughter – Elizabeth – a really nice Birthday party on Sat. You all did such a nice job and the kids had so much fun! Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated! You can be sure I will tell anyone who asks that I met some really great people who threw a really nice party!
Sincerely, Joy Edmondson-Irons
Both of my sons attended an Action Karate center and received their Black Belts. The program and instructors instilled wonderful values in addition to increasing the boys' physical,mental, and emotional strength. I highly recommend their classes!

At my martial arts school, students measure their progress not according to what others can do but to what they can do. Diana Schmidt, mother of student Breanna said, "Breanna's determination at being her best in everything she does comes directly from the skills she has acquired from karate." Diana knows that it's more important for Breanna to do her best than to be the best. It is Breanna's black belt attitude that enables her to make progress in her goals.
What is a black belt attitude? A black belt attitude is, simply, acting like a black belt: never being content with just getting by, focusing on the journey as well as the destination, taking responsibility for your life and what happens to you, making the better choice even if it is the harder one. Black belts, in short, live their lives to the fullest.
A black belt attitude can help your child reach his full potential. For example, if your child never studies, sometimes misses homework assignments, and misses class a lot but still gets Cs or Bs on his report card, he may think that is good enough. You might even be fine with these grades yourself, but think about what would happen if your child put forth that extra effort: suddenly those Bs and Cs turn into As. Of course it's great that your child's grades will improve, but what's more important is the send of accomplishment and self-worth that will come from knowing they gave their best possible effort.
In this face-paced society, its hard for us, even as adults, to really enjoy the process of getting somewhere. We are so focused on achieving the end result that sometimes we miss the lessons we could learn on our way to achieving our goals. With a black belt attitude, your child can enjoy the challenges that present themselves on his way to his goals. For example, if your child takes piano lessons and expects to be Beethoven overnight, he is going to have a really hard time enjoying the learning process. If we focus on the journey as well as the destination, we can learn from our mistakes.
A black belt attitude also means that your child takes responsibility for his own actions. If your child doesn't get the part he wanted in the school play, blaming the teacher is not going to help him get it next time. Making excuses for why he could not study for a test is not going to turn his F into an A.
When your child takes responsibility for his own actions, he learns the value of hard work and perseverance. It also puts him in control of his own destiny.
Perhaps the hardest part of exhibiting a black belt attitude is making the right decisions even when they are most difficult. Certainly, it would be easier for your child not to go to football practice rather than to go, but is that going to make him a good team player? If your child were pressured to take drugs or alcohol, wouldn't it be easier just to relent? With a black belt attitude, your child can stand up for what is right even when it is not easy.

By letter dated April 16, 2008, Congress requested our opinion whether the service of Steven G. Bradbury as the senior official in the Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice, is in violation of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998. For the reasons stated below, we conclude that Mr. Bradbury's service has not violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998.
B-310780, Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 - Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice, June 13, 2008
The Honorable Richard J. Durbin
The Honorable Russell D. Feingold
The Honorable Edward M. Kennedy
Subject: Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 - Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal
By letter dated
The Federal Vacancies Reform Act (hereinafter Vacancies Act), enacted on October 21, 1998, provides the exclusive means for temporarily authorizing an acting official to perform the duties of certain vacant positions that require Presidential appointment and Senate confirmation.[2] Under the Vacancies Act, an acting official in a covered position may serve in a vacant position for a period no longer than 210 days from the date of the vacancy. 5 U.S.C. sect. 3346(a). An acting official may continue (or resume) performing the duties of the office once the official's first or second nomination is submitted to the Senate. If a first or second nomination is returned to the President, the Act also permits the official to continue to serve up to 210 days from the date the nomination is returned. 5 U.S.C. sect. 3346(b). After the expiration of an acting official's allowed period of duty under the Vacancies Act, the position is to remain vacant; the functions and duties of that position can only be performed by the head of the agency; and actions taken by the acting official in performance of these duties and functions have no force or effect.[3] 5 U.S.C. sect. 3348.
The Vacancies Act requires executive departments and agencies to immediately report to the Congress and the Comptroller General when a vacancy occurs, the name of any person serving in an acting capacity, the name of any person nominated to fill the position, and the date of a rejection, withdrawal, or return of any nomination. 5 U.S.C. sect. 3349(a). The Comptroller General is also to report to the Congress, the President, and the Office of Personnel Management if the Comptroller General determines that an acting official is serving longer than the 210-day period (including applicable extensions) established by the Vacancies Act. 5 U.S.C. sect. 3349(b).
A vacancy in the position of Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), U.S. Department of Justice began on
In response to our request for their views,[6] the Department of Justice advises that Mr. Bradbury did not serve as the Acting Assistant Attorney General during the period from February 15, 2005 (the expiration of 210 days after the vacancy began) to June 23, 2005 (prior to his first nomination) and has not served as the Acting Assistant Attorney General since April 27, 2007. In fact, the Department advises that no one (Mr. Bradbury or anyone else) may serve as the Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel for the remainder of this Administration. Letter of
Pursuant to the Vacancies Act, the office of the Assistant Attorney General for OLC should have been vacant between
The issue remaining is whether Mr. Bradbury, as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General during the timeframe in which the office has been vacant, performed any functions or duties which under the Vacancies Act may be performed only by the Attorney General as head of the Department. According to the Department, Mr. Bradbury's service during the relevant time period has been in accordance with the Vacancies Act, since the position of Assistant Attorney General for OLC does not have any duties or functions which are exclusive to the position.
Under the Vacancies Act, the functions and duties of a position are defined as those functions or duties established by statute . . . and . . . required by statute to be performed by the applicable officer (and only that officer) . . . or . . . established by regulation . . . and . . . required by such regulation to be performed by the applicable officer (and only that officer) . . . 5 U.S.C. sect. 3348(a)(2). These functions and duties are described as non-delegable.[9] Non-delegable functions and duties may only be performed by an agency head during those times when an office is vacant. 5 U.S.C. sect. 3348(b)(2).
In the first instance, there are no statutory functions or duties for the position of Assistant Attorney General for OLC, either non-delegable or delegable. Statutory authority for this and all the Assistant Attorney General positions is found at 28 U.S.C. sect. 506 which authorizes the appointment of a specified number of Assistant Attorneys General to assist the Attorney General in the performance of his duties. Other than this general reference, there are no statutory references to the functions or duties of the Assistant Attorney General for OLC.[10]
The position does have functions and duties established by Department regulations that set forth the general functions of the Office of Legal Counsel. 28 C.F.R. sect. 0.25. These regulations provide a listing of matters which are assigned to, and shall be conducted, handled, or supervised by, the Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel.
We find that the Department regulations are not sufficiently prescriptive for us to conclude that they assign non-delegable duties to the Assistant Attorney General for OLC. While the regulations clearly assign a variety of matters to the Assistant Attorney General for OLC, the Assistant Attorney General's duty is to conduct, handle, or supervise the enumerated matters. As we read the departmental regulations, the Assistant Attorney General may personally and exclusively conduct a matter, personally handle a matter with the assistance of staff, or supervise others in the conduct of a matter. The regulation's general vesting of supervisory responsibility, however, cannot be considered a non-delegable duty.
In limiting the performance of certain duties to an agency head during a vacancy, the Vacancies Act focus is on specified duties and functions which under statutory or regulatory language must be performed exclusively by the incumbent of the office. See, 5 U.S.C. sect. 3348(a)(2) (. . . required . . . to be performed by the applicable officer (and only that officer) . . .). This requires language that clearly signals duties or functions that cannot be delegated, such as providing final approval or final decisionmaking authority in a particular position.[12]
In contrast, the departmental regulations at issue here provide for supervisory responsibility of the Assistant Attorney General but contain no language indicating that this responsibility (or any of the other enumerated responsibilities) may not be delegated. Moreover, the Department's practice of delegating various duties assigned to the Assistant Attorney General, including the supervision of OLC by the Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General and the signing of opinions by lower level OLC officials, indicates that the Department's interpretation of this regulatory provision has permitted such delegation in the regular course, not simply under the circumstance of a vacant office. Accordingly, we do not interpret the vesting of supervisory responsibility with the Assistant Attorney General in the Department's regulations to be the assignment of a non-delegable duty.
Therefore, since the position of Assistant Attorney General for OLC has no non-delegable duties or functions, we do not find Mr. Bradbury's service as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for OLC to be a violation of the Vacancies Act.
Sincerely yours,
Gary L. Kepplinger
General Counsel
[1] As discussed below in footnote 6, we had already solicited and received the views of the Department of Justice concerning Mr. Bradbury's service pursuant to our responsibilities under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. See 5 U.S.C. sect. 3349. Upon receipt of your request, however, we provided the Department with an additional opportunity to comment. The Department provided a supplemental response on

[6] Based on information reported to us by the Department, we began a review of whether Mr. Bradbury's service as Acting Assistant Attorney General for OLC was in accordance with the Vacancies Act. As is our practice, GAO, Procedures and Practices for Legal Decisions and Opinions, GAO-06-1064SP (

ADHD – strategies in the classroom
There is no easy solution for the management of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the classroom.
Effectiveness depends on the knowledge and persistence of the school and the individual teacher.
Predominantly hyperactive/impulsive
- Predominantly inattentive
- · Combined ADHD
These result in difficulties with: sustaining attention, effort and persistence;
organisation; and disinhibition – difficulties with controlling emotions,
impulses to act and delaying responses.
Keeping instructions brief and clear.
· Say the child's name or make eye contact when giving important information.
· Ask the child to repeat instructions to make sure they have taken it in and understood.
· The child may need prompting, monitoring and encouragement to keep them focused on tasks.
Written work
Highlight important points in written information using *asterisks*, CAPITAL LETTERS or bold text.
· Limit the amount of information that needs to be copied from a board. Instead, give 'hand out' sheets with this information.
· Use outlines, teach outlining, and teacher underlining. Colour code books or timetables
Other learning strategies:
· A class 'buddy', who gets along well with the child, can be helpful to reinforce instructions and directions.
· Make sure activities have plenty of 'hands-on' involvement.
· Schedule the most important learning to take place during the child's best concentration time(s). This is usually in the morning.
· Give a checklist for what the child needs to do.
· Physical environment:
o Sit them near the front of the classroom.
o Plan seating and furniture carefully to decrease distractions, e.g. sit the child near classmates who will be good role models.
Reducing over-activity and fatigue:
· Build rest breaks into activities, e.g. a five-minute break for each 30 minutes of activity.
· Alternate academic tasks with brief physical exercise, e.g. the child could do structured tasks or errands such as delivering notes or taking lunch orders.
· Prepare a number of low-pressure fun activities for when the child needs to spend a few minutes calming down.
· Or provide a specified time-out location to which the child can go when not in control.
· Keep classroom activities well organised and predictable.
· Display the daily schedule and classroom rules, e.g. attach a flowchart to the inside of the child's desk or book.
· Tell the child in advance of a change in the schedule.
· Give the child advance warning of transitions, e.g. in five minutes you will have to put your work away. You may have to remind them more than once.
· Keep choices to a minimum.
Communication between home and school:
Use a school-home daily communication book.
· Communicate both positive aspects of the day and inappropriate behaviour.
· Be sensitive to parents' feelings. They have the difficult task of raising a child with ADHD.
· Help parents feel proud of their child. Find positive things to share with them about their child on a regular basis. This can be done in front of the child.
Key points to remember
· Acknowledge and reward achievements and positive behaviour often.
· Encourage the child to take part in activities where they will experience success.
· Set achievable goals.
· Attend to learning difficulties as soon as possible.
· Talk with the child about the consequences of their actions upon themselves and others.
· Use visual prompts to remind the child to think before they act e.g. STOP, THINK, DO.

Immigration reform, a rise in Catholics and warm wishes for a friend
By Sister Mary Ann Walsh
Been busy this week. We started out with a telephonic media conference on immigration reform Monday with Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles and Bishop John Wester of Salt Lake City. Almost 40 people signed up for it. I saw interesting stories from the presser by Pat Zapor of Catholic News Service, David Gibson of Religion News Service that was also carried by Washington Post's On Faith column, which is online, and Huffington Post), Michael Sean Winters of National Catholic Reporter and Rocco Palmo of Whispers in the Loggia.
We've got the transcript and audio online for anyone who missed it. Also online are the survey results from a poll in December that show strong support among Catholics for immigration reform.
Getting ready to release annual report on ordination class next week along with some blog posts by men about to become priests. The survey for the report gathered hard data but also asked respondents to fill in the blank after "People might be surprised to know that …." There won't be a media release on the answers but they will be online. Class of 2013 includes widowers, Eagle Scouts, research scientists, converts to Catholicism, a weight lifter, pole vaulter, juggler and professional pilot. It's a fun read.
Looked over soon to be released stats from the 2013 National Catholic Directory. Data show number of Catholics in the U.S. has increased, as have number of new parishes and permanent deacons. Baptisms, First Communions and marriages are down
In late May, USCCB will release the annual report of the Office for Child and Youth Protection. The significant decline in number of youth who have been abused continues There's also a decline in reports of older cases. The decades-old cases show that the pain from abuse lasts a lifetime.
We're conducting a survey of media who covered the papal transition to see what worked and didn't work. If you're a member of the media and didn't get the questionnaire, let me know. What worked, of course, was the election of Pope Francis. His homily at morning Mass at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, the guest house where he lives, has become a must-read. Vatican Radio translates the remarks as quickly as possible. The six-hour time difference between Rome and Washington lets us read the homilyalmost first thing in the morning.
It was an "Oh, Rats!" moment Tuesday when Cathy Grossman, religion reporter at USA Today, called to say she is taking a buyout. Cathy has been a stalwart on the religion beat, a real pro, who went the extra mile and educated herself in areas such as bioethics to bring greater insight into her reporting. We'll miss her and so will the Religion Newswriters Association where she worked tirelessly as cheerleader and friend to all.

Ashtrays: Accessories for Smoking Culture
With the discovery of the new world in the 15th century, tobacco made its way to Europe. From the beginning the ashtray became a natural necessity for every social meeting where people smoked. For 600 years, there have been small bowls solely made for this purpose, which caught the ashes and always adapted to the varied needs of changing times.
The Proper Ashtray – What You Should Know When Buying
1. Different Use, Different Ashtray
2. Form Follows Function
3. Materials & Maintenance: From Large & Stable to Small & Flexible
4. Price: Ashtrays at Moderate Costs
5. Astray: Design Masterpieces
1. Different Use, Different Ashtray
The ashtray contains the ashes and butts of cigarettes and cigar. The construction of a designer ashtray depends on the individual needs of the group of people using it. Ashtrays with lids are made for the use in the home. The cover prevents odors from escaping through the cooled ashes. Designer ashtrays for outdoors are created for garden moments in fresh air. Ashtrays for the outside are usually larger than normal table ashtrays and come with wind protection through a sturdy lid or thanks to their shape.
If a table ashtray is self-extinguishing, then the material extinguishes the cigarette or cigar embers. The common ashtray is round and has several round holes on its edge. Depending on size, they are made to butt out burning cigarettes or cigars. Ashtrays for pipe smokers have a high elevation in the middle for tapping your pipe. Many designer ashtrays are composed of two parts: an upper bowl and a lower pot. On the upper bowl you can butt out glowing tobacco, while the ash is brought into the lower bowl and stored there odor-free. As a result, your home remains free of the smell of cold ash and embers are also extinguished by blocking oxygen supply. Ashtrays with lids also ensure that cold ash doesn't give off an odor and that the embers from the butt extinguish by themselves.
2. Shape: Form Follows Function
Modern ashtrays are subdued and above all very functional in design. Most are round, as they are geared towards a convivial table. Every smoker should be able to easily reach the ashtray from their position and use it. They are usually purist and kept very simple, many have a damper function and are composed of several parts, which serve their practical use.
3. Materials & Maintenance: From Large & Stable to Small & Flexible
Ashtrays for outdoors are usually heavier and larger, constructed from weather-resistant materials. On the one hand, they can withstand more wind and weather and make sure there is no ash blown out. On the other hand, outdoor ashtrays must take a lot of ashes and butts as they are usually used more frequently and emptied less often. Designer ashtrays for outdoors are therefore primarily designed with a self-closing lid.
An ashtray for the coffee table, however, plays with design ideas, materials and colors that are suitable for indoor areas. Most of them are easy to clean or made of a dishwasher-resistant material. Ashtrays must withstand heat and embers, safely and consistently. Therefore, they must be made from high-quality materials. Heat-resistant ceramic is a material proven over the centuries. Noble white ceramic has been used for modern designer ashtrays and has an elegant appearance. Ashtrays with tilts and lids are often made of stainless steel. Those made of stainless steel are not only heat-resistant, but also durable and suitable for the dishwasher. Modern designer ashtrays in unusual shapes are made with heat-resistant and durable melamine plastic. This material is easy to clean as well.
Where to Empty Ashtrays?
An ashtray can be emptied only after the last embers are extinguished To protect the environment, the solidified remains may not be emptied into the toilet. They go with the non-recyclable waste.
How to Clean Ashtrays?
To clean ashtrays, lemon, vinegar, and salt have proven themselves as excellent natural glass cleaners, oven cleaners and are ideal for scouring. In addition to cleaning, lemons and vinegar ensure that the smell of cold ash also vanishes. An old cork, dipped in salt water, is perfect for removing stubborn stains.
4. Price: Ashtrays at Moderate Costs
In the lower price segment, you can find very beautiful pieces which meet all required practical criteria. Meanwhile, noble designer objects reside in the middle price segment. The price of Ddesigner ashtrays in the higher-priced segment is justified by being made from very fine materials or are amongst the design classics.
5. Astray: Design Masterpieces
Here at Connox you can order design ashtrays for the living room such as one of Alessi, made completely of stainless steel. The Spiral Ashtray is composed of a small, shallow bowl and an inner spiral for holding cigarettes. People were immediately inspired by its elegant design making it a design icon very quickly.
The Ashtray with lid by the manufacturer Rosti Mepal, made from melamine plastic, also consists of two parts. On the upper part - the lid - you can place cigarettes, whereas the lower part keeps ember and ashes odor-free contained.
Carl Mertens' stainless steel Caldera Ashtray follows the same principle. Its lid has a conical shape, where cigarette remains simply slide on into a hole.
The Ashtray MB 23E by Tecnolumen is an historic Bauhaus design piece, made from polished stainless steel in pure and practical shape. You can tilt the lid to tip the remains into the container.
If you are looking for unusual design, have a look at Danese Milano's Cubo ashtray. It is shaped rectangularly and available in two sizes – one for cigarettes and one for cigars. The ashtray, made of melamine plastic and looking like a tall box with a crease that remains fall through, is available in black and white.

Solid progress for Alex Lowes as Imola weekend gets underway
The Pata Yamaha Official World Superbike Team made the most of the gorgeous weather at Imola on Friday as they kicked off round five of the FIM 2017 Superbike World Championship.
The picturesque setting led to some good progress on track too as both Alex Lowes and teammate Michael van der Mark adapted well to the Imola circuit on their 2017 specification Yamaha YZF-R1s, finishing Friday in sixth and eighth positions respectively on the combined timesheets and ensuring direct progress through to SP2.
Alex had a slightly compromised morning session as he struggled to find the right front-end setup on his R1. After making some adjustments, he improved towards the end of FP1 to finish in 11th with a 1:48.564. The British rider used the warmer afternoon session to work on his race setup, focusing on corner entry improvements.
The 26-year-old left it until his last lap in the afternoon to set a 1:48.089, ending the day in sixth overall and feels confident he can make another step on Saturday at a track he enjoys.
The Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK team return to the track on Saturday morning at Imola for FP3 at 8.45am local time, with qualifying starting at 10:30am and the 19-lap race scheduled for 13:00 pm local time.
Alex Lowes
"We had quite a difficult day, to be honest, Ive not quite felt 100% on the bike and with its setup, but weve been chipping away and we have got a lot of information. The biggest place where I have struggled is on corner entry and because I cant get that right at the moment, I am also losing a lot on exit, so thats what we will work on tonight. I feel like we have done okay and I am hoping to find two or three tenths tonight to put us in a good position tomorrow. In general I am quite happy, I love the track and of course, it is Pata our title sponsors home round, so its almost like a home race. I am looking forward to the races and hopefully tonight we can make a couple of steps."

dinner irl: one-pan cheesy chicken, broccoli and rice
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Mars, Incorporated. All opinions are mine alone. #BensBeginners #UncleBensPromo #CollectiveBias
One of the many things I love about summer is our weekends at the beach. For 5-6 hours every Saturday and Sunday we are on the sand, in the water, walking the boardwalk. With no phones, no TV, no iPad. Just each other. And while it's not all unicorns and rainbows to be sure, it is completely and utterly disconnected. We are fully engaged with one another, fully in the moment, fully face-to-face.
And though I swear I'm going to keep that going once summer ends, I find it way more challenging to do so. Days are more structured. There's homework. And after-school activities. And weekend "busy-ness".
So I find myself looking for ways to carve out pockets of time that give me that same feeling of connectedness – even if it's for just a few minutes – that I get all summer long.
It's why I drive Noah to school every morning – so we can talk, or just listen to music.
It's why we have "game night" at least 2-3 times a week.
And it's why I let Noah help me cook dinner whenever possible.
Now – let's be real with that last one. When I say "help", believe me I've done most of the prep. And this is not the time to bust out a complicated dish with a 27-step mise en place. And, unlike baking – where it's mostly measuring ingredients, operating the mixer and scooping out dough – I'm not letting him dice onions or cut up raw chicken.
But Noah genuinely enjoys being in the kitchen, and so when I can I let him participate. And to make things as stress-free for BOTH of us I deploy a few tricks before he even enters the room. And I've used this delish, one-pan dinner to illustrate!
I was excited to create an easy weeknight meal using Uncle Ben's Ready Rice. One of my favorite "cooking with kids" hacks is the use of shortcut ingredients. They save time, mess and clean-up, allowing young kids to get right to the good stuff – rolling, pouring and stirring!
"Ben's Beginners" was inspired by the mission to get kids to cook as well as they can read and write. Check out the Ben's Beginners site for more information and other great family-friendly recipes. And right now you can enter a fabulous contest for the chance to win $15,000 AND a $30,000 cafeteria makeover for your school!
I picked up everything I needed in addition to the rice – including other fave shortcuts like shredded cheese and flash-frozen broccoli florets – at Walmart (Ibotta users can take advantage of a $0.75 off Ready Rice products offer here). You could take this even further by using pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken.
Earlier in the day I got most of the ingredients prepped so that we'd be ready to go as soon as we got home. This included chopping the onion and garlic, cutting up and seasoning the chicken, and putting the crackers and butter into their respective bags and bowls.
While the oven was heating up, Noah rolled the crackers into crumbs and added the melted butter and shredded cheese.
Can you tell this was his favorite part?
I sauteed the onion and garlic and cooked the chicken while he played, and then called him back in to add the rest of the ingredients and stir everything up.
Dinner was on the table 30 minutes later and clean-up was a snap – critical for a busy weeknight (or any night, for that matter). And we all agreed this was a keeper.
We certainly don't do this every night, but once or twice a week we get some extra time together, doing something a little different, and Noah gets bragging rights for dinner.
Not bad for a Tuesday!
1 sleeve (30 – 32) Ritz crackers
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups shredded cheddar, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with salt and pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 8.5-ounce packages Uncle Ben's Ready Whole Grain Medley Brown & Wild Rice
1 pound fresh or frozen broccoli florets
Pre-heat oven to 375.
Place the Ritz crackers in a large ziploc bag and seal. Use a rolling pin to crush. Toss with the melted butter and one cup of cheddar and set aside.
Heat a large (12″) oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat till hot but not smoking. Saute the onion and garlic till softened – about 5 minutes.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and chicken pieces and cook, stirring frequently, till chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Add the broth, rice, broccoli and remaining cup of cheese – stir well and season with salt and pepper. Top with the cracker/cheese mixture and bake for 30 minutes, till browned and bubbly.

Worried about your investments if your candidate doesn't win in November? Whether the Internet savvy Obama, or the defense minded McCain prevails, you can protect yourself and even make money with covered call investing.
Look over your portfolio segments. If a democrat wins and you own oil stocks, write covered calls on them with a strike price at or a little lower than the current market price. Since democrats are no friends of big oil, their constant negativity may drive prices down.
|Sign up now for PowerOptions free 14-day trial
Keep an eye on your call options, and if you see the stock price drop close to the strike price, buy it back to close, and write another call with a still lower strike price. All your call writes should be one month out, no longer, so you can take advantage of time-decay.

Under a democrat, natural gas stocks may very well rise; being regarded as "green," "clean energy" sources. A potentially good "green" company to write covered call investing positions on is Maxwell Technologies (MXWL), who makes ultra capacitors for hybrid cars. Anticipating a rise in price, write your covered calls with a slightly higher strike price. As the price approaches the strike price, buy it back to close and write another one with a yet higher strike price. With a democrat victory, your long position in solar or wind technology stocks may also rise in price, so write your covered call investing positions as you would for natural gas stocks. Some potentially good covered call investing positions in those segments are: Owens Corning (OC), or American Superconductor (AMSC).
Similarly, a democrat in the White House may be good news for banks, brokers, and homebuilders. Wall street is already pumping a lot of money into democrat coffers. Democrats would be strong agents for federal relief programs, so stocks such as Morgan Stanley (MS), Toll Brothers (TOL), or Ryland Group (RYL), could potentially be good covered call investing choices.
Health care could be a big issue for either candidate. You can be bullish if a republican wins in November, since the drug sector may rise significantly. Companies like United Healthcare (UNH) would make good covered calls.
If McCain wins, there is a better chance of building more nuclear plants here in the U.S. Since Nuclear is one way to reduce carbon emissions while still providing necessary energy, McCain may convince congress to allay their "three mile island" fears. Any stocks connected with nuclear power, such as Shaw Group (SGR), may very well rise. A good strategy may be to write covered call investing positions with a strike price higher than the current market.
The Iraq conflict has been long and messy, but the US government hasn't lost its appetite for military spending. According to the National Priorities Project, 40 cents of every income-tax dollar paid last year by US citizens went on military. McCain would continue current US policy and defense stocks like Signal Technologies (APSG), could be potentially good covered call investing positions.
So, regardless of whether it's a Blue or Red win in November, you can protect your investments and also garnish additional premium income from covered calls.

Finally we have reached the end of the spring semester, after a very intense period. The last couple of weeks my time has been filled with both examination, research conferences and the graduation ceremony for our master of science students in the City Hall. During the graduation ceremony the presentation of the diplomandi was mixed with musical entertainment by the KTH academic orchestra conducted by director musices Gunnar Julin and the student choir. It was a very impressive and beautiful arrangement, I really appreciated the opportunity to present and congratulate all of ITMs graduates 🙂
Coming closer to summer vacations it's time to summarize all P4 courses, complete the work of writing and correcting all the examination and enjoy the knowledge gained by all our excellent students when conducting their master thesis projects. But this week has also offered other exciting and interesting education-focused events. For instance I got to see the impressive work done by the students in the Energy Management course (MJ2410), since they presented their project results in Sing-sing (where my office is located). The students have studied each Tokyo district, during the course, to propose solutions for a more energy efficient Tokyo in the year of 2040. The initiative is based on a collaboration between KTH and the Gadelius company (which operates in the interface between Sweden and Japan). The students proposed creative and innovative solutions based on a holistic approach in order to reduce the energy use in buildings, increasing the amount of renewable energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. On June 4th, five groups presented their solutions to Japanese ambassadors, KTH representatives, external companies and the Gadelius company. The two winning groups won a trip to Tokyo in September to present their solution proposals for various representatives from companies and representatives for Tokyo City.

Love Ke Chakkar Mein (2006)
Release date 02 Jun 2006
Critics Review
Laughter is a difficult emotion to capture on celluloid. But not all storytellers can achieve the impossible. Love Ke Chakkar Mein is a desperate attempt at creating a comedy of errors. As the film lacks a substantial script, it just fails to connect with the moviegoer. In fact, the supposed laughathon comes across as a compilation of several masala comedies, resulting in a film that makes no sense at all.
Vikram [Aarnav Bhatia] is a jobless MBA, who rides expensive bikes but does not have a job or a house to call his own. As the story moves forward, he gets attracted to Neha, a girl he meets on chat and after a year, decide to meet. They find themselves in love the minute they meet. He also proposes on the first date itself and she readily accepts. But her father puts up a condition: Vikram should get a job within seven days.

Next week, May rolls around, and — barring any surprise climactic horror — the heat will come with it. I mention this because, as I've gone about town over the past couple weeks, I've noticed a ton of bar patios rolling out. I'm not going to name any of them, because I don't know who got permits to build them and who didn't, but I'm pretty stoked about doing a lot of outdoor drankin'.
I'm always stoked about indoor drinking, of course, and when the weather heats up, there are few things I appreciate more than slinking into a dark dive and diving into a double. Or a beer. Whatever's on special, that's what I'm having.
As a trial run for my summer Last Call cruising, I went to Keys Lounge for the first time last week. Yeah, yeah, I know. About time, right? Better late than never, though — as long as you make it before last call, anyway.
I had Wednesday off, and I found out that Big Mike's Box of Rock was playing at The Keys, as the place is affectionately known. While I hear Big Mike's band every Tuesday at The Moon, where I tend bar, I'm hard pressed to say no to classic rock covers at a place I've never been before. All I knew about The Keys was that it hosted a lot of blues jams and that it was in Wedgwood, so a friend and I rolled one up and rolled on out, hoping to roll into said lounge before we had to decamp for Crowley. (Long story.) Almost as soon as we got going, though, we were lost in southwest Fort Worth. If you ever get sick of all the shiny shit dotting the skyline around West 7th Street, get on McCart and head south of I-20 — I'm pretty sure that part of town hasn't changed since the mid-1980s. I only wish it had more bars.
The directions I got denoted a shopping center and a Mexican restaurant, but when we finally stumbled onto The Keys' street, Westcreek Drive, the joint was pretty hard to miss. I'm fairly sure you can see its giant, glowing sign from outer space. Needless to say, we were already pretty amped, and we hadn't even been through the front door.
Like some of my favorite haunts (A Great Notion, VIPs, Starlite Lounge), The Keys appears to have been built during the '70s, and, given the light-up tiles above the parquet dance floor, I'd gather it may have even gone through a disco phase. While it wasn't totally packed, the tables were mostly full of nice folks patiently waiting for some awesome rock 'n' roll action. My buddy and I had just missed blues master Buddy Whittington's set, but you can catch him there just about every week, along with a lot of other killer players. Coming up on Friday is blue-eyed-soulster Josh Weathers, and the following weekend is the multiple-Grammy-award-winning Brave Combo.
In fact, now that J&J's Blues Bar has gone the way of the dinosaur, it looks as if The Keys is the destination for blues (and then some) in Fort Worth. On top of the tunes, there are badass specials all week long. Every night features a particular macrobrew bottle for $2.25 and a nightly shot for $3.25.
So The Keys is rad, especially if you're sweating it out in the Great Southwest and if you're a day drinker, since the place opens at 11 a.m. on most days. Keys Lounge may not have a patio, but the beer's cold and the lights are dim. If you get lost, just poke your head out the window and look for the huge sign. –– Steve Steward

The Mughunters
The Hayden Lake Country Club Mughunters got its start in 1937 when Mahlon Rucker, a long-time member, decided that HLCC young golfers needed their own tournament. The competition got its name from the original trophy, a simple tin coffee mug, hand-decorated with cartoons and garlands by a local artist. From the start, the Mughunter tournament was based on handicaps so that everyone in an age category was on equal footing. For more on the history of Mughunters at the club, click on the link below.
The History of Mughunters at HLCC
Mughunters continues to be an important part of the HLCC tradition, providing not only fun and skill-building for young players, but also a wonderful exhibition of fine competition.
Today, the Mughunter field includes a range of age divisions:
Grasscutters: 3-hole matches
Sandblasters: 5-hole matches
Divotdiggers: 9-hole matches
ForeTeeners: 14-hole matches
Mughunters: 18-hole matches

(Pocket-lint) - Toshiba is, as it so often is, late to the tablet game. It was late to Blu-ray, because it was pushing its own - excellent - format, HD DVD. And it has been slow on the uptake in 3D and smart TV introduction too. All of that is understandable, as it's an immensely cautious company, that likes to look before it leaps.
So its new tablet, the AT100-100, represents a toe in the water for the Japanese firm. A look around to see if there's money to be made, and a product that every major electronics firm needs to have on its books. The question is, can this tablet impress us, or is as insignificant as it is late?
The AT100 is one of the most tedious, uninspired designs we've ever seen on a tablet. In every way, it's disappointing. The back is made from a cheap-feeling plastic, which has a large Toshiba logo centrally, and a grooved pattern across its entire surface. This plastic bends too, giving the tablet a very budget feel.
On the front, there's a standard looking screen and not much else. As with all Honeycomb devices, there are no physical buttons any more, just on-screen controls. The only feature on the front of the tablet is around the camera at the top. It's surrounded by what Toshiba no doubt considers to be classy silver, but in reality makes it look even more generic and cheap.
All around the device there are sockets. This is a good thing, and the AT100 has some incredible connectivity options. There is a full-sized USB socket, to connect memory sticks to, allowing you to read documents, watch video and look at photos. There's also an HDMI output, to mirror the screen on your TV. And there's also a Mini-USB socket, to connect the tablet to your computer for file transfers and such.
There are also proprietary dock and power connectors and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Toshiba thoughtfully includes a full-size SD card slot too, to allow users to view their photos straight from a camera on their tablet. All good stuff, and this is the device's strength.
Again though, these sockets are mostly hidden under plastic flaps or with stoppers to keep dust out. These are bound to get torn off, or lost, and it all adds to the slightly unsophisticated look of the device. It could be the best tablet in the world, but with looks like this, it's going to get judged as inferior long before anyone actually manages to buy one.
Now it may seem that we've been unkind to Toshiba here, and to some extent, we have. But here are the facts. The Toshiba isn't really any cheaper than its competition, but it's significantly uglier and bulkier. It may not be a bad tablet, but it was not designed with the love and passion the Galaxy Tab or iPad were. None of those things make it a failure, but we have to say it makes us very cross that Toshiba doesn't try harder to compete with the other brands.
Plenty of power
In theory, the AT100 has a decent amount of power. It's a Tegra 2 T20 chipset, with a Cortex A9, dual-core CPU running at 1GHz. In practice though, we didn't find it to be especially snappy. Unlocking seemed slow and unresponsive.
The AT100-100 is running Android Honeycomb - 3.1, if you're counting - which means it's well-suited to the large-screen activities that tablets are useful for. Users of earlier versions of Android might take a little while to get used to it. On the whole though, this OS is ideal for tablets. Toshiba has yet to announce update plans to the latest version of Android: Ice Cream Sandwich. Although it seems likely it will happen, it's certainly not a done deal.
During our tests, we also found that video playback sometimes juddered and was a long way off what we'd expect from a modern tablet. And given how silky smooth the likes of the Asus EeePad Transformer and iPad are, it makes us feel that we're being short-changed slightly.
More useful than most
The Toshiba's USB and full-sized SD card slot are both things we're pleased to see. USB means we can attach memory sticks, look at documents or keep large files away from the tablet's in-built storage.
The SD card slot means that it's easy to use the tablet as a place to view digital photos from your SD-based camera while you're out on the move. We popped in a card from our Nikon D90, and after a modest pause, the images appeared via the Toshiba Media Player. Each page of photos needs to be cached first though, and there's a pause each time you move through the collection for it to do this. Once it's done though, the cache remains, so you only have to wait the first time.
Moving through photos was never fast though, and again the graphics power seemed lacking somewhat. We don't know if this is badly written software, or poorly managed hardware, but we would expect more from such a technically powerful machine.
The DLNA debacle
Toshiba provides an app on the AT100 that will access your network and allow you to stream video, music and photos. Well, it claims to allow that, and it certainly makes all the right noises, listing files on the remote server, and such. But when it comes to actually playing anything, brace for disappointment. It simply doesn't work for anything except images.
Obviously, DLNA is always complicated. There are so many little things that can cause problems. One of the big issues are codec support for video types - music and photos are much simpler, on the whole. And here, the choice of software plays a huge part.
Toshiba provides something called Toshiba Media Player which is, we think, a contender for the worst software ever. For a start, it uses technical jargon that won't sit well with normal consumers. When you select the "server" option, to stream from a Windows PC there are two options. One is "server list" the other is "renderer list". Many reading this review may understand that a "renderer" is a device which can play a DLNA stream. So it's a TV or PC that you can send photos videos from the tablet. Many, on the other hand, will not know what that means and will find the jargon confusing.
Toshiba also refers to sub folders and items in folders as "children". We suspect most people will get this, but it really isn't user-friendly language. Why not simply say "items", which just feels so much more natural.
But naming aside, there are bigger problems here. The Toshiba app won't work. We couldn't get it to show us anything except photos. Moving to the free Skifta app things were easier and worked. We could look at videos, and 1080p Katy Perry played, but not well and with significant judder. This is surprising, as our ancient - in tech terms - Samsung Galaxy Tab 7-inch played the same file flawlessly.
There's lots going on here, but we suspect that the hardware acceleration on the Toshiba has less comprehensive support than the Samsung, which is generally happier playing HD media. If you don't use DLNA, then this is unlikely to give you much pause, although it's worth remembering that the performance problems will affect all video playback.
Video and sound
The large screen on the AT100 is reasonable. The plastic cover is a fingerprint magnet though - like most devices, but it seems worse here - and so you'll need to wipe it regularly to get the best out of it. At maximum brightness, it chucks out a decent amount of light too. The good news is, having brightness set high doesn't really seem to wash the image out too much.
The viewing angle is reasonable, but not amazing. Sitting side-by-side with friends will produce no problem, but move it up and down, and the image does wash out a little. Far from the worst we've seen though.
Sound is a little weak out of the speakers, which are mounted on the edge of the tablet - either the left side, or the bottom, depending which way you hold it - and while they are just loud enough to hear in a quiet room, for anywhere else you'll need headphones. Sound quality, on the whole is reasonable, but not outstanding.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that the AT100 isn't even especially cheap. At around £300 you could pick up the Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition, with an 8.2-inch screen, for £30 more. Or the full-sized 10-inch Xoom, for £80 more. Then there's Samsung's 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab, which is only £60 more.
Given the feel of the tablet, the quality of the screen and the occasional sluggishness we'd urge you to save a bit longer, and get either the Samsung or the Motorola. It shouldn't take you much longer and you'll ultimately be much happier as result.
Battery life
The Toshiba has very good standby life, which it seems to achieve through switching off the wireless when the tablet is asleep - a light tells you when this happens - and so standby times can be impressive. Indeed, it should last days if you don't use it much.
Keep it on, and connected though, and you can easily drain the power in one day. Far quicker than most tablets we've seen.
The battery is, however, removable, which is a nice change and very rare on tablets. You have to prise the rear case off to do this, and it's not easy, but for end-of-life battery replacement, it's very handy.
Toshiba should have done better here. This isn't the worst Android tablet we've ever used, but it's a long way off what we would expect and hope for a big, established brand to produce. If it was £150, we would understand the huge quality compromises. But it's twice that much, and there are other tablets that are far sexier, for very little extra money.
And in everything other than design, it's a fair tablet that works as it should. There's no inspiration here, and although it's light, it's not light enough to be comfortable to hold for long periods. We don't hate the hardware here, we just wish it was packed up in a premium package.
