Businesses urged to support The Studio School in Southampton
4:37pm Thursday 27th September 2012 in Education By Jon Reeve, Education Reporter
BUSINESSES in the Solent region are being urged to support a brand new school which has been developed in partnership with port, cruise and marine companies.
The Studio School, sponsored by City College Southampton , will give 300 students, aged 14-19, the chance to gain mainstream qualifications in a way that also gives them a genuine taste of the worlds of business and industry.
Major employers, including Associated British Ports (ABP), Meachers Global Logistics, GE Aviation, Southampton City Council and Southampton University Hospitals Trust are among those to have signed up to support the bid to open the school.
Speaking at a Business Solent briefing at the boat show, Helen Mason from Southampton City College, where the new academy school will be based from September 2013, said it would focus on employability.
"Our able and motivated students will spend time in the workplace, studying all year round and for longer days.
"Our focus will be the marine and cruise specialisms to meet the job opportunities of the next five to ten years," she said.
She added City College had forged good links with businesses already and Business Solent had offered "outstanding support" by introducing more business leaders.

This would provide a choice for many young people as they approach adulthood are not attracted to an academic qualification and a rounded vocational course - supported by the relevant skills sectors - could provide a creditable alternative.
I would also like to see the emergence of technical universities (polytechnics, if you like) similar to those in the Netherlands and Germany.

The Cal Poly baseball team evened its series with UC Irvine with a 4-3 win Saturday in Irvine.
Mustangs left-hander Matt Imhof picked up his fifth win of the season, retiring the first eleven batters he faced. He gave up three runs on four hits and struck out six over seven innings for Cal Poly.
Imhof, who also has five no-decisions this season — Cal Poly is 4-1 in those games — recorded 10 fly ball outs, five grounders and six strikeouts, throwing 102 pitches.
With the win, the Mustangs improve to 33-15 on the year and move into a third-place tie with the Anteaters (30-15) in the Big West Conference standings at 12-8.
Cal Poly got to UC Irvine starter Matt Whitehouse early when Denver Chavez opened the game with a leadoff double. After Jordan Ellis reached base after an error on a sacrifice bunt attempt, freshman designated hitter Brian Mundell hit a two-run double down the left-field line to give the Mustangs an early 2-0 lead.
Cal Poly added two more runs in the top of the sixth on a fielding error and an RBI single from Jimmy Allen.
Whitehouse worked six innings, allowing four runs (two earned) with no walks and five strikeouts and took the loss. Eleven of the outs he recorded were fly balls along with just one groundout.
UC Irvine, the Big West leader in fielding percentage at .981, committed three errors in a game for just the second time this season.
UC Irvine scored three runs with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, and loaded the bases with two outs in the eighth before Mustangs closer Reed Reilly forced an infield popup to Chavez to end the inning.
Reilly retired the side in order in the ninth to register his 14th save of the season, tying the school record set by Mike Bille in 2005.
Cal Poly's seven hits included two by Mundell and the double by Chavez. UC Irvine, which accumulated 14 hits in Friday's 7-1 victory, was limited to just five hits Saturday, two by Dominique Taylor. Taylor Sparks added a double.
Catcher Elliot Stewart and shortstop Peter Van Gansen added one hit each for Cal Poly.
The series finale starts today at 1 p.m. with sophomore right-hander Bryan Granger (5-3, 4.88 ERA) getting the start for Cal Poly.

Birth Place: Norristown, Pennsylvania, USA
Maria Bello was born on April 18, 1967 and raised in a Polish/Italian household in working class Norristown, PA, where she attended a Catholic school which did not have a theater department. In fact, acting was not even on Bello's radar until she took a drama class at Villanova University as an elective in a schedule otherwise filled with political science and pre-law courses. After graduating with a political science degree in 1989, she threw her intended plans for law school aside, moving instead to New York, where she crashed on a friend's floor, got a bartending gig, and started gaining invaluable experience in off-Broadway plays.

Hello completed Week In The Life album. I'm so happy to put you away on my shelf.
This year I decided to put together a short (13 min) video that walks you through all the pages of my 2011 album. I talk about some of the decisions I ended up making this year, general observations, etc. I'm hoping this will make it a bit more "real" for those of you that like to see a bit more beyond the photos and written words.
Week In The Life 2011 | Completed Album Overview from Ali Edwards on Vimeo.
Over the last few days I've been working on the 9-pocket divided page protectors that go between the spreads for each day of my week. That means I've been trimming photos, creating small cards, cutting up some pattern paper, etc.
I cut up the Hambly Little Circles Overlay and added the Ormolu 2-Day Hooray Days of the Week Button Embellishments. On the back I added small circle numbers from BananaFish Studio.
I also ended up adding in some cards using stamps from my different Technique Tuesday sets. If you've watched the video above already you probably heard me talking about those. You'll also see them in the photos below.
- One of the things I kept asking myself as I was bringing all the components together is how can I simplify this process? What I realized is that I'd really done most of the work already – the words were documented, the photos were taken and printed – and I really just felt like leaving it at that. You might notice as you watch the video or view the photos below that I decided to just add the Daily Sheets right into the album. For me it was the decision that seemed to make the most sense. I simply added a few more page protectors to the album to accommodate those sheets.
- I'm pretty sure that next year this will be a completely digital project for me and will be printed in book format. It felt a little bit crazy to me to be cutting out all those smaller photos just to add them to the divided page protector. We'll see. Maybe I'll feel different next year. It's important to me to allow myself to evolve, to allow projects to evolve over time, etc. And like I've said all along, there's no right or wrong way to bring this all together.
- I collected way less stuff this year than I have in past years. I think that might have something to do with Project Life and how much I already add there each week.
- I'm glad I did it in the summer, but I think I like it better at other times of the year. Not sure why that is exactly – maybe it's because I long for a different pace in the summer and this just felt like a lot of work. Maybe a summer Week In The Life needs to be modified for the pace of the season…
- I'm still planning to put together a little video from the times I took it during the week. I'll post that when it's completed.

The first winter storm of the season for southeast Iowawill likely pack a bigger punch than first expected.
The National Weather service has put Wapello, Davis, Appanoose, Monroe, Mahaska and Marion counties, along with much of central Iowa, all under a blizzard warning. The storm is expected to bring 9 inches or more of snow beginning tonight to much of the area.
Current forecasts show Wapello County right on the line between major snow accumulations and much, much lower amounts. The NWS map of forecast snowfall amounts shows as much as 10.6 inches expected in northern Wapello County, but that drops to around 5 inches in the county's southern part.
The heaviest band of snow is expected to run in a line from roughly Sigourney to Dubuque. Totals in that area are expected to easily top 10 inches, with Dubuque potentially reaching 15 inches or more of snow.
In Ottumwa, 3-7 inches is expected to fall overnight, with an additional 2-4 inches tomorrow.
Centerville is expected to see 2-4 inches of snow overnight, with another 1-3 inches of snow tomorrow.
Oskaloosa's forecast calls for 6-10 inches of snow overnight and another 1-3 inches of snow Thursday.
The hardest-hit cities in the area will likely be Pella and Knoxville. Both are forecast to receive 7-11 inches of snow overnight. Pella's Thursday forecast includes another 1-3 inches of snow, while Knoxville is expected to see an additional 1-2 inches.
Strong winds are expected to follow the storm, with wind chills Thursday night dropping as low as -10 in southeast Iowa. At that point, frostbite can occur in under a half-hour of exposure.
The situation remains fluid and minor shifts in the storm could have major effects on accumulations. You can follow the progress of the storm with the National Weather Service's winter weather monitor.

Working Out
But don't think that we're just writing about this today to solely amuse ourselves, oh no! You, dear readers, have actually emailed us lately wanting to know what to wear for their athletic endeavors. Also, due to the sporty nature of many of the spring collections, we thought this would be a good time for a fitness discourse.
The easiest way to rip the above celebrities' sporty style is to raid American Apparel. The store is possibly the best thing that's ever happened to workout clothes. You can find yoga pants (like Cameron and Reese are wearing) for $35, headbands (like Cameron's) in over 20 colors for $8 each, and gym bags (again, like Cameron's) in one of eight colors for $30. To get the exact, bright yellow, cotton canvas sack Ms. Diaz is toting, pick up the LA-Z bag (americanapparel.net).
When it comes to sweats, Tinsletown residents seem to buy Free City, Jet by John Eshaya, and Rebel Yell by the bushel. Reese is wearing a Free City sweatshirt, above, and in the interest of total disclosure, we have several items too-pieces we adore. Nina Garduno of Ron Herman is the creator of the insanely soft Free City line, available in Ron Herman stores and at the Free City Supershop in Malibu (323.651.4129 for the RH store on Melrose).
Over on the other side of this page, Christina's cherry-colored pants are Jet burnout sweats ($78, ronherman.com). Finally we have the beloved Rebel Yell, which has been spotted on the Simpson sisters, Lindsay Lohan, and Ashley Olsen. We imagine they like long length, vintage fabric feeling, and slim cut of the line. We crave Rebel Yell's raglan fleece hoodie, above, especially due to its awesome, black and grey, baseball t-shirt style ($134, 80spurple.com).
Finally we have Ms. Paltrow, who looks street-ready despite the fact that she's en route to a Pilates class, or so we were told. We think the gym shoes are just a rouse, a cunning attempt to trick the general public. We know the truth. Gwyneth is so going to get her pole on at strip aerobics-at least in our minds.
UPDATE! If you want one of Cameron's exact workout headbands, buy an i | m active ToughTread Head Wrap in black ($7.99, studioim.com Photos of Reese and Cameron, courtesy of www.x17online.com

San Antonio's Urban 15 is closing out National Poetry Month on April 30 with a six-hour online poetry reading called Mega Corazon.
The way it came about was through last month's poetry event called "Mi Pueblo" by the city's former Poet Laureate Carmen Tafolla. George Cisneros, Urban-15's Media Director, explains:
The scourge of Hepatitis C may be on its way out, or that is what doctors behind a new treatment are saying. Researchers are making the prediction that the pernicious disease could be eradicated in 15 years with the right outreach.
Last week "Grits For Breakfast" published the report from the state's prison consultants, The Moss Group, on what implementation of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) would have meant for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Fronteras: Legislation to compensate "downwinders" -- people suffering from cancer caused by the fallout of atomic testing near Las Vegas in the 50s -- left out some affected areas and now people are demanding federal compensation. In Phoenix, there's a unique tradition of bringing together both Jews and Latinos to celebrate Passover that brings together two ethnic communities. The last 10 fatalities on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon have been on self-guided trips.
Texas Matters: Dive into the hidden history of early Texas photographs with Lawrence T. Jones, III, whose new book "Lens on the Texas Frontier" presents a stunning look at life in early Texas.
The photograph collection of Lawrence T. Jones, III, is Texas history as you've never seen it before.
It may be surprising to most people that there is a strong photographic record of the history of Texas. There wasn't a photojournalist at the battle of the Alamo, but it wasn't too long afterward that photography was invented and cameras were carried into the wild West.
Two North Texas doctors have sued University General Hospital Dallas after receiving a letter that announced their admitting privileges were revoked because they perform abortions at a separate facility.
Dr. Lamar Robinson and another doctor not wanting to be identified filed a lawsuit in a Dallas County courtroom after the public hospital, University General Hospital Dallas, sent a letter to the two physicians stating that they were revoking their admitting rights.
It has been one year since the fertilizer plant explosion that leveled several school campuses in the North Texas town of West and administrators are still recovering.
West Independent School District Assistant Superintendent Dr. Jan Hungate said the plant explosion destroyed three campuses, so for now an entire school system is using portable buildings.
Many local schools are beginning to think about graduation but SAY Sí, the afterschool youth program that says it "unfolds lives through art," is getting ready to graduate 18 seniors in just a couple weeks.
"On Friday, May 2, which is the First Friday here in the Southtown Arts District, and it's from 6 p.m.-9 p.m.," said Artistic Executive Director Jon Hinojosa. He said that for the graduation, graduates' art output will be showcased for all to see.
A new exhibit opens Friday combining art and fossil fuel extraction called Frackaso. The Esperanza Peace and Justice Center's Marisol Cortez explained how it was named.
"In English it's a play on fracas: a mess, a fracas. And in Spanish fracaso means an utter and abject failure," Cortez said.
And then there's fracking, which is the third and strongest meaning of this art show. The Esperanza sent out the word they wanted to do an exhibit with hydraulic fracturing as its muse, and people responded.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has frozen nearly $200,000 slotted for air improvement programs at the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) for publicly posting a study the state's environmental regulator had funded without TCEQ review.
With the city teetering on the precipice of non-attainment with the Clean Air Act -- and the threat of additional mandatory regulations on cars, trucks and ozone producers -- why is the funding being frozen now?

Eric Sink: "It's okay to be in awe of these great hackers. But as a practical matter, small ISVs would be much better off hiring professionals." Agreed!
Which reminds me, I can't wait for Johanna Rothman's new book on hiring geeks to come out. I'm reading the manuscript now and it's a great book on a topic that doesn't get a lot of coverage.
You're reading Joel on Software, stuffed with years and years of completely raving mad articles about software development, managing software teams, designing user interfaces, running successful software companies, and rubber duckies.
I'm Joel Spolsky, co-founder of Fog Creek Software, a New York company that proves that you can treat programmers well and still be highly profitable. Programmers get private offices, free lunch, and work 40 hours a week. Customers only pay for software if they're delighted. We make Trello, which lets you organize anything, together, FogBugz, enlightened issue tracking software for bug tracking, and Kiln, which provides distributed version control and code reviews. I'm also the co-founder and CEO of Stack Exchange. More about me.

Bruce Springsteen. Photo: Mal Fairclough
There's a scene in Springsteen & I, the big-hearted 2013 documentary of fan tales from the edge of Bosstown, in which a bloke from England describes his trip to Madison Square Garden to see his idol.
He and his wife arrive in New York to discover their seats are up in the rafters, but disappointment turns to elation as a mysterious beardy guy appears from nowhere, quietly explains that he works for Bruce, exchanges their nosebleed tickets for front-row wristbands, then vanishes into the crowd.

OK, maybe that really happened. And maybe it's some kind of fable. A bit like God or Santa, perhaps this upgrade roadie character is a way of rationalising the miracle of intimacy that made Springsteen's E Street Band the unparalleled highlight of 2013 - and quite possibly the peak of evolution in the whole stadium showbiz catastrophe.
For precious moments at least, Leonard Cohen channelled a similar kind of magic, in his more muted fashion, on his third tour in five years. Paul Simon was a third near-mystical presence. Filtering through these lifelong poets of the soul, a blinding purity of heart put most of their spectacle-oriented arena challengers in the shade.
Not that Barry Gibb's peerless songbook left a dry eye blinking at his first post-Bee Gees outing. Nor did Jon Bon Jovi labour in vain under the bonnet of that absurd giant inflatable Buick. But the tendency for heritage acts to play on their own mythology - the slow-dissolving slide show is often the giveaway here - has a funny way of distancing us from the crucial thrill of here and now.
Lou Reed. Photo: AFP
Ringo Starr, to his credit, seemed to have imposed a house rule that nobody in Festival Hall mention the B-word. Between a gracious but palpably weary Yellow Submarine and a majority share of his All Stars' mid-'80s hits, though, lay a pretty thorny compromise.
Even staunchly progressive electric-African-blues-folk journeyman Robert Plant performed in front of a giant psychedelic poster of his Zeppelin-era self, a confusing and unflattering juxtaposition that may have explained his bizarrely belligerent attitude to his public.
Neil Young used nostalgia as a stick, almost, reeling off a listless and futile Heart of Gold in the midst of a maelstrom of feedback from a new wall of noise called Psychedelic Pill. Nick Cave was more subtle and more generous in dealing with his backstory: his new Bad Seeds performed their sumptuous Push the Sky Away album with MSO and children's choir before a less astonishing second half of classic memories.
Nick Cave. Photo: Paul Jeffers
The choir-and-strings comprised the must-have accessory for many acts in 2013, from the gospel according to Archie Roach at the Playhouse to the euphoric rush of Texan prophets of joy the Polyphonic Spree at a greatly improved Melbourne Festival Hub music box on the rowing club corner of the Yarra.
Each was stirring in different ways, but the lone voice of Martha Wainwright at the Recital Centre could have made a Concertgebouw and Mormon Tabernacle amalgam look like overdressed try-hards. Again, some mythical roaming roadie would need to be invented to explain her ability to electrify a hall from front pews to back.
But hey. There are spaces beyond walls and chairs in which to galvanise an audience these years. Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke and Kanye West all did it from a great distance using the reliable strategy of pornographic provocation. Daft Punk made themselves one of the music stories of the year by launching an album in Wee Waa, NSW, then failing to show up.
Chrissy Amphlett.
Conversely, showing up was all David Bowie had to do to send his dormant stock soaring - without so much as a single public appearance or interview. His surprise comeback, The Next Day, was a cunningly calculated media event that illustrated much of what the album had to say about a hyper-connected world fixated on celebrity.
With love and respect to Chrissy Amphlett, Ray Manzarek, George Jones and J. J. Cale, it was the sudden disappearance of Lou Reed that brought the most profound outpouring of affection - something that would have surprised him, one suspects, given the modest reception of his work these last 40 years.
There's some other brand of rock'n'roll magic afoot here, beyond the long reach of even Bruce Springsteen. But notice how the space between us and Lou has grown infinitely smaller these last few months? Don't ask how. That's just how the great and mysterious bearded upgrade roadie rolls.

New Video Highlights U.S.-China Partnership for Environmental Law
September 24, 2012
The U.S.-China Partnership for Environmental Law at Vermont Law School recently posted a new video highlighting its accomplishments in helping China to address the unprecedented environmental and public health problems that have accompanied the nation's rapid economic expansion.
China needs trained lawyers and policy-makers who can enforce and implement environmental laws and regulations as well as instructors who can train the next generation of environmental advocates. Since 2006, the U.S.-China Partnership has trained thousands of Chinese lawyers, government officials and educators, giving them the skills and academic infrastructure needed to solve environmental and energy challenges in China through the rule of law. The U.S.-China Partnership has made a notable impact in building the institutional capacity of its Chinese partners, assisting the development of Chinese environmental law and creating environmental leaders. Some are now in key positions at government agencies, including the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the judiciary.

STAFF WRITER | February 02,2013State officials are preparing to launch a new sex offender registration database and website that they say will provide the public with more tools to identify sex offenders in their communities.
Following an audit three years ago that identified a need for more accurate and timely reporting, Department of Public Safety officials began working to install a new system already used in 34 other states, according to DPS Commissioner Keith Flynn.
The Legislature directed us to get the system cleaned up, Flynn said. Thats what we did and its a substantial upgrade.
The new OffenderWatch system coming online soon will eliminate typographical errors by reducing the number of times data is manually entered into the system and it will post updates in real time, Flynn said.
Statewide mapping capabilities are built into the software and a number of new features are included.
For starters, the system will send offenders periodic electronic and telephone requests for address verifications.
Offenders can also use email to update their addresses and living status.
The system will also allow law enforcement agencies in and outside of the state greater access to information about offenders.
Residents will have greater access to information as well, Flynn said. This includes email alerts, for those who register on the new website, about new Internet-posted sex offenders moving into their city or town.
Vermont has 1,197 registered sex offenders, nearly 1,000 of whom meet the criteria to be posted on the website. The criteria include aggravated sexual assault of a child, kidnapping with intent to commit sexual assault, a designation as a sexual predator, and failing to comply with required treatment.
The new website will also provide specific addresses for sex offenders once legislative changes are made, Flynn said.
Presently, state officials release the name of the town or city of a sex offender whose profile is posted on the website, but not the name of the street they live on.
Vermont statute still prohibits public safety officials from releasing that information. But Flynn said lawmakers stated in the past that once the department corrected problems with the website the Legislature would add street addresses to the Internet profiles.
The new $403,500 system has proved successful in other states, he said, and the cost of its purchase and implementation in Vermont was paid for entirely by two federal grants.
The new site can be found at www.communitynotification.com/vermont/.

Dive deep into vibrant Dravidian culture
Step foot in South India and you'll discover that the Hindu heartland is a far cry from the mountainous north. This 15-day journey takes us into the south, where the true Indian culture—Dravidian culture—originated and thrives. We'll be captivated by extraordinarily diverse landscapes, enchanting retreats, smiling locals, and the cultural legacies left behind by ancient dynasties, Muslim spice traders, and European seafarers.
We begin in the Tamil Nadu capital of Chennai, formerly known as Madras. Then it's off to Mamallapuram to explore World Heritage Site stone-sculpted reliefs and temples. Flying south, we visit the Trichy (Tiruchirapalli) rock fort and the Brihadishwara Temple, a treasure of Chola architecture. We get a sense of the spicy Chettinad region through its culinary delicacies and embellished mansions before traveling to the 2,500-year-old city of Madurai, home to the ornate Meenakshi Temple. Next we climb into the high ranges of the Western Ghats to hike though bright green tea estates and browse markets near lovely Munnar. After descending to Kerala's lush waterways and meandering by houseboat, we take in the spirited music, dancing, painted elephants, and colorful fireworks of a village festival, and get to know the historic city of Kochi.

Does anyone even care about unemployment numbers now that the elections are over?
Government unemployment numbers for December showed that while the general unemployment rate remained flat at 7.8 percent, unemployment for women and African-Americans rose despite an economy that created 155,000 jobs.
Unemployment for women rose to 7.3 percent in December from 7.0 percent while the rate for African-Americans rose sharply to 14.0 percent from 13.2 percent in November.
Unemployment among African Americans has remained quite high throughout the sluggish economic recovery of the past several years, despite the steady decline in overall unemployment in the economy generally.
Obama won roughly 93 percent of the black vote this time, as well as a majority of the women's vote. I have no sympathy for them. None.
You voted for this. Own it.

Saint Genesius of Arles
Soldier. Literate, he was made a notary and secretary to the magistrate of Arles, France. Convert. During the period of his catechumenate, Maximianus issued his decree of persecution against Christians. Outraged, Genesius threw his writing tablets at the feet of his magistrate, denounced the orders, was imprisoned, and executed. Martyr.

This week's "My turn" column is by Becky Thomas and Betsy Shultis, owners/brokers of Benson Agency Real Estate.
How is the local real estate market? This is a question that we as Realtors are often asked.
First, it is important to remember real estate is local in nature and typically what is happening nationally isn't appreciably affecting our real estate market.
The greater Oneonta real estate market is strong. We are privileged to be more than slightly "insulated" from the extreme up-and-down cyclical curves seen in the overall national market. Our area offers stable employment opportunities with several local colleges and hospitals, a robust mix of small-to-medium-size companies and a thriving tourism industry.
The current national market conditions have brought interest rates to an all-time low, and with the current first-time homebuyer tax credit, home buying is more affordable than ever. For more information on the federal tax credit, visit www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com.
Whether you are a first-time buyer or making a move to a larger home, this is the time to buy with inventory of saleable homes up in all price ranges.
Your Realtor will advise you on the steps of the home-buying process.
One of the first things you'll need to do is to talk with your local bank or mortgage professional. They will, through a pre-qualification process, be able to advise you on the home price range that will fit your budget and comfort level.
At that point you can start your search with a price range in mind. When you find the perfect home, your Realtor will guide you through the process from contract to closing.
As a home owner, you will be building equity, gaining tax savings and realizing pride of ownership.

Reeder 2 hits the App Store completely iPad ready
Reeder is a favorite news aggregator of many, and today we see its triumphant return to the App Store in the form of Reeder 2. It's an all new app, with an all new design, and it brings back the long awaited iPad support that we lost when Google Reader closed its doors. The previous version of the iPhone app is still available, and received Feedly support right at the death, but Reeder 2 is an all new universal app, with a couple more new features to add to the collection.
One of those is support for opening links in Google Chrome. Since we can't set Chrome as a default browser on the iPhone or iPad, Google has provided the tools, and for those of us who use it it's great to see third-party developers picking it up. Reeder 2 also adds support for Feed Wrangler's smart streams.
Otherwise, underneath, it's the same great app we know and love. The big news here isn't so much for the iPhone, but the long awaited return of an iPad Reeder app. Since the developer, Silvio Rizzi, couldn't provide the necessary non-Google Reader updates to the iPad and Mac apps in time, they were removed from the respective App Stores leaving only an iPhone version behind. If iPhone is all you need, the original version is still available as a free download. But, Reeder 2 is here, it's proofed for the future, and it brings it back to the iPad.
Is there still room for Reeder in your life, or have you moved on to something else in its absence?
- $4.99 - Download Now
There are 12 comments. Add yours.
Is it already iOS 7 ready? Or can we expect another update. I am talking "aesthetically".
Does it look like it did before on the iPhone? Will the iPad look just like the iPhone version? I liked Reeder on the iPhone, but didn't like that it looked and functioned differently on my iPad.
Moved on to Digg Reader.
Works better than before! Easily one of my most used apps...
Moved to Newsify and Mr. Reader. Unfortunately I couldn't be without RSS on my iPad for months while Reeder was being updated and so far I haven't missed it.
For $5 does it replace Feedly? Or it is dependent on Feedly to work? Does it support article search (where Feedly wants $5/month)?
Too late. I used Reeder for Mac, iPad and iPhone for years, but I think there are better options available now. On the iPad I switched to Mr. Reader, which is amazing and much better than Reeder. On the Mac I am using ReadKit now.
Silvio Ricci never answered my inquiries. I'm not sure about giving his products another try.
Oh yes, I forgot about the Mac. Also switched to ReadKit and very happy so far.
Downloaded it immediately. It's a bit faster than the old version, it works perfectly and I love it.
I like the interface and I still think that it's the gold standard for RSS readers on iOS.
Too little too late. I'm using Feedly on all my macs, iPhone, and iPad. I couldn't be happier.
Is there a Feedly mac app? Or are you using the web interface..?
I moved on to the feedly iPad app, which allows the user to set Chrome as default browser.

Recent Woodland Hills Reviews
We had a wonderful stay the house was immaculately clean and spacious and the bed linen was beautiful with comfy beds. We loved the pool and private garden lovely to come back to after a day's sight seeing. The house is extremely well equipped with every thing you could possible need or think of. It is really close to shops and restaurants, which was brilliant, so handy to just pop out to. While we stayed at the house the property manager took us on a tailor made tour of literally all there was to see and more, in LA, Malibu and Santa Monica, we saw everything and got a local insight to all the tourist and unknown sights .We were given the best tour I have ever had please take advantage of it! We would not hesitate to come back and will recommend it to all our friends.The property manager Angelique was so kind and helpful nothing was too much trouble and we really appreciated her help and advise on what to do and see.Thanks for a great stay.
Stayed here with my family and it was great! Super clean, very contemporary and a real bargain! Perfect location too! Great experience and I will be back!
We stayed at the house over Thanksgiving holiday. We are a family of 11 (four adult children, their spouses and three grandchildren). We were visiting our son in L.A. for the first time since he started college in the area. We had such a great time together at the house. The deck was great with wonderful views. We had room for everyone. Great location, easy to get to many fun things to do. We will definitely stay at this house again. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

despair abounds
evil reigns
Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspring new places and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems. Before long, Eragon doesn't know whom he can trust.
Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battleone that might put Eragon in even graver danger.
Will the king's dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life. . . .
Saphira's breathing quickened, and she opened
her eyes, yawning expansively. Good morning, little one.
Is it? He looked down and leaned on his hands, compressing the mattress. It's terrible . . . Murtagh and Ajihad . . . Why didn't sentries in the tunnels warn us of the Urgals? They shouldn't have been able to trail Ajihad's group without being noticed. . . . Arya was right, it doesn't make sense.
We may never know the truth, said Saphira gently. She stood, wings brushing the ceiling. You need to eat, then we must discover what the Varden are planning. We can't waste time; a new leader could be chosen within hours.

Paolini appears to be firmly of the belief that one should never use one adjective when five will do. The reviewer for The Boston Globe sums up his writing style with the immortal words: "He is to English as a dog to a chainsaw: he worries it, and worries it, and devastation spreads around him."
Having said that, nothing that I or other reviewers say can take away from the fact that a multitude of children absolutely adore these books.
(Reviewed by BookBrowse Review Team).
Full Review (466 words).
Paolini says that the top three authors who influenced him were Anne McCaffrey, Ursula K. LeGuin and Raymond Feist (with Feist's novel Magician making a particularly strong impact on him). Read more about Paolini at BookBrowse.

Adobe Flash Player 10 Now Ready
As of Wednesday Adobe has finally made its Flash Player version 10 available for download. The unusual part is that Adobe released its Windows, Mac, and Linux versions simultaneously. Linux users would normally have to be more patient.
The Flash Player has not undergone many changes since the last announcement of its release candidate. Linux users can download the software off the Adobe webpage. Along with a .deb package for Ubuntu Hardy Heron there is also an .rpm package and a tar.gz archive.
Users should deinstall the previous version first, based on prior experience. The new Flash Player will possibly soon also be installable via the distributions' package manager.
Adobe Flash update available for LinuxYeah, the Flash version 10 is now available for Linux,
and doesn't work for me!
I've accepted that the Linux versions of Flash have been
behind the Windoze releases, but at least I could
receive Flash content.
This latest release for Linux isn't even recognized by
my Firefox 2.x browser, (yes I know that FF is now at 3.x,
but FF 2.x is still quite good and viable on older Linux
Perhaps Adobe should have done a bit more testing with
this Linux release.
