Pebble Teardown
Teardowns provide a look inside a device and should not be used as disassembly instructions.
Welcome to the future of watch evolution. The Pebble E-Paper Watch is the "first watch built for the 21st century." It can track your bikerides, display your text messages, and even tell the time! We had no choice but to bust the Pebble open and see what made it tick.
Update: We did not initially find hardware evidence of Bluetooth Low Energy support, but the engineers at Pebble got in touch to clarify things. Their RF module does in fact support BLE, and they assure us that a firmware update to support this feature is forthcoming.
Waste no time! Head on over to Twitter to follow us for the latest teardown news.

With the HTML code below, you can embed this guide as a small widget on your website.
Edit Step 1 — Pebble Teardown ¶
A pebble is a small rock often thrown into ponds or lakes. The Pebble, on the other hand, is a smartwatch fueled by internet-connected apps and unlimited innovation.
The watch will connect to your smartphone (iPhone or Android) via Bluetooth, bringing alerts of incoming calls, emails, and texts to your wrist.
But what type of hardware is responsible for powering the Pebble? These are the tech specs listed:
144 x 168 pixel display black and white e-paper
Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR and 4.0 (Low Energy)
Vibrating motor
3-axis accelerometer with gesture detection
Edit Step 2 ¶
The rear side of the Pebble is adorned by lovely, gold-colored writing.
It is waterproof up to 5 ATM (50 meters or 165 feet), making it wearable while washing dishes, playing sports, and swimming in shallow water. 'Where is it not wearable?' you ask.
To protect the Pebble from water damage, the front portion is tightly fitted with a clear plastic frame and sealed tight.
Edit Step 3 ¶
For a watch with no visible outer screws, your first question is probably something along the lines of, 'Hey iFixit, how do you open that which cannot be opened?'
Our response: 'With the help of our iOpener, of course!'
With more than a little heat and some clever prying, we hope to outsmart the world's smartest watch.
Edit Step 4 ¶
Pebble employs tons of adhesive to keep water—and tinkerers—out. Add in a bezel around the screen, and it's impossible to separate the cases without compromising the display.
With plenty of elbow grease and our iSesamo, we get our proverbial foot in the door and start prying this Pebble open.
We manage to part the cases, leaving the stubborn smartwatch in only slightly better condition than if we had bombarded it with actual pebbles until it popped open.
Edit Step 6 ¶
While there is no exact definition for what makes a display technology e-paper, it essentially entails paper-like readability in ambient light and very low power draw. The Pebble makes use of a new Sharp Memory LCD that puts it in the realm of e-ink and e-paper.
The display is capable of maintaining its current image with very low power draw (less than 15 μW for a static image, according to the manufacturer).
Peeling up the Pebble's e-paper display film reveals backlight LEDs. The small display only requires three LEDs (controllable by a wrist gesture) to light its face.
Edit Step 8 ¶
Just a swish and a flick of the spudger and the lone ribbon cable surrounding the whole assembly is freed.
The cable's adhesive also secures the backlight guide, allowing the LEDs to shine on, providing backlighting for the e-paper screen.
We learned in our Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight teardown that light guides work by bouncing light shined in one end through a diffraction grating to provide an even glow—in this case beneath the e-paper display.
Edit Step 9 ¶
Removing the ribbon cable from the main assembly gives us a closer look at the buttons and Bluetooth antenna on one side, and the backlight LEDs on the reverse.
Since the cable houses all 4 buttons, 3 LEDs, and the Bluetooth 2.1 antenna, replacing an individual component will be impossible (even if you can somehow get inside without compromising the display).
Edit Step 10 ¶
Removing the backlight guide panel from the device grants us access to the motherboard/battery/vibrator assembly.
Much like the ribbon cable, three components make up this assembly, held together by very delicate soldering. If any one of them fails (most significantly the battery), they will all need to be replaced as a single unit.
Edit Step 11 ¶
The ICs of interest on the top side of the motherboard are as follows:
Micron N25Q032A11ESE40F 32 Mb serial flash
STMicroelectronics STM32F205RE high-performance ARM Cortex-M3 MCU, with a maximum speed of 120 MHz
STMicroelectronics LIS3DH 3-axis accelerometer
Texas Instruments BQ24040 1A Battery Charger
Xtrinsic MAG3110 3D Digital Magnetometer
Edit Step 12 ¶
The back of the motherboard hosts a Panasonic pan1316 RF module, promising the Pebble's advertised Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality, powered by a Texas Instruments CC2564 Bluetooth Controller.
After some dainty desoldering, the module's EMI shield is removed to surprisingly reveal a slightly different Texas Instruments CC2560A, that appears to not include BLE support.
Word on the street was that Pebble had BLE functionality just waiting to be activated with a firmware update, but we can't find evidence of the hardware to back up this hidden potential.
Update: Pebble assures us that the update will be forthcoming, and explained that TI uses the same silicon for both the CC2560 and CC2564 parts—so despite the label on the chip, the update will make this a CC2564 with BLE support.
Edit Step 13 ¶
The Fullriver battery is rated at 3.7 Volts and 130 mAh. According to the GetPebble website, the battery is rechargeable via included USB charger, and lasts for over 7 days on a single charge.
This seems like a challenge to us, but with the use of e-paper, we believe that even heavy use would allow for such long battery life.
Edit Step 14 ¶
Just to be thorough, we go ahead and pop out a couple of the Pebble's spring-loaded buttons.
In keeping with the über tight waterproofing, the buttons have gaskets to allow for motion without leakage.
If you break one of the buttons, it can be replaced individually from the others; however, you still need to get into the watch in the first place, a feat we have not yet mastered.
Edit Step 15 ¶
Smartwatches might be the next big thing, but—right now—the Pebble is a unique device. We don't have a repairability metric for a watch…yet.
In lieu of a numeric score, we'd like to list a few of our repairability and durability findings:
Low power consumption decreases the frequency of charges, increasing the battery life.
Watch band is a standard size and easily replaceable.
Inaccessible battery limits life of the device to 6-10 years (by our estimates).
It is impossible to open the device without destroying it or at least compromising its waterproofing, making internal repairs infeasible.
We got in touch with Pebble's design team and voiced some concerns about end-of-life recycling. We were happy to learn that they currently have a plan in the works for a responsible recycling program for dead Pebbles.
Comments Comments are onturn off
you need to redo the guide, the new pebble are much easier to open
As they stated in their press conference, you are referring here to e-Ink, which is NOT the same as e-Paper!

Why Vendor-driven Threat Intelligence is not Sufficient Anymore
Mar 11 2014
43 mins
Ofer Shezaf, HP Enterprise Security Products
While threat intelligence promises to help with the effective detection of advanced threats, it usually achieves the opposite: detecting the most predictable attackers. To be included as part of a vendor provided threat intelligence feed, an attacker must have tried attacking several potential victims before, and must have used the exact same method to be captured in the threat intelligence feed.
In this presentation we will see how to make threat intelligence valuable for detecting advanced targeted threats directly aimed at your organization. We will see how to create a threat intelligence feed close to the target, as a shared effort between departments, subsidiaries or organizations working closely together to ensure identification of targeted threats. In addition we will see how to extend the term intelligence into additional detection mechanisms such as behavioral patterns.

Addressing Advanced Threats with a Joined-Up Security Approach
Dec 5 2013
39 mins
Paul Brettle, Manager, HP ArcSight Specialist Team EMEA
With the modern and emerging threat landscape, it is clear that adding more and more layers isn't going to provide the answers that it once did. Using a joined-up approach, it is possible to start to build a true solution that helps manage the risks and threats, and to provide visibility that wasn't previously possible. Addressing security at the network and application layers and proving a real-time view of the risks and threats as they happen, it's now possible to start to address these new emerging threats.
Importantly though, by using this approach, it is possible to be prepared today and tomorrow to provide pro-active identification and resolution to the threats.

Rather than just having a "top 10 attacker" reports and dashboards, how about a system that focuses around application lines and how this impacts business is more useful.
Security Lessons from Cybercriminals
Jun 12 2013
43 mins
Paul Brettle, EMEA HP Security Specialist Manager, HP Enterprise Security
Cybercriminals are increasingly banding together, organizing more sophisticated attacks that are more predatory in nature. Cybercrooks' rapid adoption of new technologies and efficacy in information sharing has trumped traditional static enterprise defenses. In order for organizations to stay protected, they must learn from their adversaries.
What lessons can we learn from cybercriminals that can be applied to boost an organization's overall security strategy?
Paul Brettle, HP's EMEA Security Specialist Manager, will examine the means and motivations driving cybercriminal behavior and how improvements such as benchmarking can persuade criminals to look elsewhere for targets while helping security professionals develop stronger defenses.

Your VP Just Resigned, What Did He Take With Him?
Apr 17 2013
49 mins
Ofer Shezaf, Product Manager, Security Solutions, HP Enterprise Security Products
Your VP just resigned and took a position at your biggest competitor. Did you remember to examine the Salesforce logs to see if he downloaded your entire customer database and history of purchases? Do you even have access to those logs? And if you did, and found the obvious, how would it help now? Catching Bradley Manning who stole sensitive government information, Ross Klein who took with him an entire hotel brand concept and Gary Min that copied chemical formulas was too late for the US government, DuPont and Starwood hotels respectively.
In this presentation we look into how to proactively monitor user activity to detect potential threats from employees before the damage occurs. Focusing on how to effectively collect activity logs and analyze them against user, role and entitlement information, to detect abnormal activity, predict which employees may pose more threat if not loyal and to reduce the associated risk.
Begin the journey to your secure enterprise
The days of locked down security are over. Today's enterprise must be as fluid as the clients they serve, sharing information whenever, wherever and on whichever device they choose. This new fluidity requires a comprehensive approach to security to enable interaction while driving operational effectiveness and reducing business risk.
Getting to your secure enterprise is a journey and we have designed capabilities to help you get there.

I'm installing a prehung door in a basement. When I check the floor for level in the rough opening, the hinge side of the opening is about 1/4" lower than the latch side. Most tutorials I've seen just say to throw the prehung door in the opening and fix the jambs as you go. However, if my hinge side is low and I plumb and attach that jamb first, the latch side jamb will be too long to get a the proper reveal (and level) at the top of the door...right?
This Old House says to shim up the hinge side jamb, which would account for this issue I'm imagining. But why doesn't anyone else discuss this? I'm considering trimming the 1/4" off of the latch side of the door rather than shimming the hinge side since I'm using laminate flooring under this door. The jambs are both 1" longer than the door bottom to allow for carpet clearance. Is it typical to trim the jambs down a bit when laminate is going under the door so there isn't a huge gap between the finished foor and bottom of the door? If so, how much is normally trimmed off? I'm thinking I can trip the latch side by xx" + 1/4" and the hinge side by xx".

I make this and bottle the leftovers to use for about 3 more servings of my Chickpea Cauliflower Coconut Curry recipe (also on Sparkrecipes.com). This can be used in any Indian recipe calling Garam Masala. This is the easy version because it uses ground spices...if you have whole and have the time to toast and grind them, that is ideal!

This article is an attempt to categorize males according to the amount of experience of kissing a girl who may obviously be treated as a man\'s intimate partner. The labels of all categories show the various parts of the timeline of each person, but do not necessarily mean that the guy is expected to kiss according to his age. Depending on the actions before, during and after the kiss, one may be able to know to which category he belongs to.
Let us call \'infant\' level the first category, from the time when a guy has virtually no experience to his first kiss or kisses. A guy in this level is not very aware of how to kiss a girl and more often than not, the girl makes the first move in kissing. A male with infant experience treats kiss as something natural and not intimate, as if it is something that will just happen to any one in the course of his lifetime.

We should listen to Derrick Belcher.
Alabama should secede from the Union.
Get out while the gettin's good.
Don't mind Gov. Robert Bentley, who says it's silly that Belcher has formally proposed leaving the United States because of the re-election of President Barack Obama. It's all the governor can handle leading a state.
"President" Bentley?
As Belcher, the Mobile County man whose White House secession petition is all the rage, will surely agree, we don't fit in. We're Alabama, not Massachusetts or California or Ohio. Our new motto: "We dare defend our turf."
So, let's defend it.
There's one flaw in Belcher's plan. He sees Alabama as part of a red-state nation-building project in which we'd join other like-minded states to form a new country that abolishes things like entitlement programs and Democrats. That's too complicated. Just look back at how hard it was for the Founding Fathers to keep the 13 original states together. Their dissimilarities nearly broke them apart before they began.
This fear of secession is grounded in history. Author Elizabeth R. Varon, in her marvelous book, Disunion! The coming of the American Civil War, 1789-1859, explains that the concern was prominent in several of the Federalist papers, Nos. 6, 7 and 8. According to Varon, Alexander Hamilton, one of the famed Federalist authors, believed that only in "subordination to the general authority of the union" could states avoid becoming "jealous, clashing, tumultuous commonwealths."
Well, that ship has sailed.
Who needs Mississippi and Georgia and Louisiana? (Really, who needs Mississippi?) Why do we need Tennessee and Texas and South Carolina?
The Alabama nation.
Sounds good.
Two points before we proceed. (1.) Don't worry about the unconstitutionality of secession. We'll take care of that, by fight or flight. (2.) Sorry to disappoint our Confederate-loving friends such as Calhoun County Commissioner Eli Henderson, but this has nothing to do with Southern heritage. This isn't about risin' again or continuing the Lost Cause. (Why anyone would want to continue something that's been "lost" for more than a century makes no sense, anyway.) This is about setting out on our own, plain and simple.
Think of the opportunities.
We'd elect a president.
He (or she) would select a Cabinet.
(Early guess: Bob Riley would become president; his VP would be Del Marsh; Bradley Byrne would be Secretary of State, though only because Condoleezza Rice wouldn't take the job; and David Bronner would head the Alabama Treasury.)
We'd toss the 1901 Constitution in the trash and write a new one.
We'd issue our own currency.
We'd raise our own army.
Once officially recognized by the United States, we'd issue passports and entry visas. No more heading off to the Mississippi casinos without your papers.
No longer beholden to troublesome U.S. laws, we could export more of our goods to Cuba and stop all this liberal talk about legalizing marijuana, expanding Medicaid and adhering to the Affordable Care Act. In fact, Medicaid and the ACA are programs of the U.S. federal government, which we don't like.
So long, busters!
We would be joyously, gloriously free to write our own future.
We'd educate our children as we wish. No federal regulations or oversight.
We'd protect our tough-as-nails immigration law, since the U.S. Supreme Court could no longer meddle with it.
We'd run our elections as we'd prefer — with stringent voter-ID laws to tamp down the fraud we know is happening, or at least that's what we've heard.
Alabamians' tax bills would be reduced: no taxes paid to Washington. Of course, that'd mean no Social Security checks (or Medicaid, or Medicare, or welfare programs), but that's what we want, right? Smaller government and fewer handouts, right?
Alabamians wouldn't have to worry about Washington sending in the National Guard to uphold laws that make no sense in the South. Of course, that'd mean no National Guard assistance after natural disasters and such, but they're few and far between, right?
As for the military, Alabama would no longer have to provide space for Anniston's depot, McClellan's National Guard training center or Montgomery's Air Force base. Huntsville could put all those NASA buildings to better use. Of course, we'd lose the civilian jobs connected to NASA and the military, but we don't want to be part of this massive U.S. machine, right?
Alabamians wouldn't have to worry about the U.S. national debt, now north of $16 trillion. Of course, the state no longer would get federal assistance for anything, ever, which is a good thing, right?
On second thought, maybe this secession petition is an awful idea.
Even the former owner of a topless car wash should agree.

For most of my life I have encouraged curiosity. I have always felt that there is nothing wrong with asking questions about things that you don't know. I had a long career in technology and I have had to teach many people many things. I have also had to learn many things. I was fortunate enough to work with people who were gracious with their knowledge and they shared it with me. I did and still do the same. I take the time to explain, what is to me the most boring and obvious technological information, with anyone who needs my help (well almost anyone). I understand that it is OK not to know everything and the only way to learn is to admit to yourself that you don't know something…and then find out the answers. Asking questions is one way of learning and I understand that there is nothing wrong with doing so. So I adhere to the notion that there are no stupid questions, (just stupid people!)
On the other hand…when a so called journalist, or reporter, or TV news reader, blathers on and forces him or herself to come up with questions while they are conducting an on air interview, just for the sake of filling time, my opinion about stupid questions is rendered invalid. When I watch the bozos on TV fill time by forcing themselves to ask questions for the sake of pretending to be journalists I repeatedly find myself uttering, out loud, the phrase "what the f*#K does that have to do with anything?†Some, or I should say most of the questions asked by these on-air talking heads do nothing more than expose the limited intellectual capacities of today's TV news zombies.
I know most of the on-screen teleprompter readers are vain to some extent. Nobody would want to put their face on TV everyday unless they had some sort of self appreciation. But you would think that a little pride would prevent these vain individuals from wanting to look stupid. One would think that, but one would be wrong. But then again, most Americans have been conditioned to the point of not being able to spot the obvious, even if the obvious comes in the form of a blithering idiot pretending to be a journalist!
The on-air TV clowns are to journalism what the first round rejects are to the American Idol competition. Unfortunately it would take an American Idol/Journalism Edition before the masses of oblivious Americans noticed this! Think about it!

BOISE - It happens every year across the NCAA. Guys graduate and the ones that are left are expected to replace them. For the Boise State football team, this year is no exception.
One area of concern for the Broncos heading into fall camp is wide receiver. Over the last four years, former BSU-standouts Titus Young and Austin Pettis combined as the best pass-catching duo in school history. Young set the school-record with 3,063 yards receiving, while Pettis holds the all-time marks for both receptions (229) and touchdowns (39).
The question now: Who can replace them? Returners Tyler Shoemaker and Geraldo Boldewijn believe they have the answer.
"I'm excited about it, I want to be that I guy and I want to embrace that leadership role," Shoemaker said.
"It's definitely an opportunity," added sophomore wide receiver Geraldo Boldewijn. "Since Titus and Austin went to the NFL, someone has to step in and take over their spots."
"I think we all have a little bit of a chip on our shoulder," Shoemaker said. "We have definitely heard from the media around the country that the receivers are gone and 'who is Kellen going to throw it to now.' We have guys to throw it to."

Austin >Restaurants > Galaxy Cafe
4700 W Guadalupe, Austin, TX | Directions 7875130.315537 -97.733432
Daily 7am-10pm
Neighborhoods: Triangle State
Every time I come to Galaxy for lunch I get the exact same thing, because it's so downright sumptuous: The Leek and Canadian Bacon Quiche. Salty and oniony, you definitely don't want to kiss anyone afterwards -- except maybe the chef at Galaxy, who bakes this amazing savory pie.
Fresh organic and local foods with a great selection of salads and sandwiches. Brunch on the weekends complete with mimosas by the pitcher.
Galaxy Cafe - at least once a week! – Galaxy is my favorite restaurant and it's rare that I don't eat there at least once a week. I So respect their efforts to serve locally-grown food and very healthy food, like their hormone-free, natural beef for burgers, along with turkey burgers and veggies burgers.
My favorite is the fish wrap, which I've tried at 3 other local restaurants. Galaxy's is outstanding. Their grilled skirt steak w/ chimichurri sauce is divine. I savor every bite. A friend loves their ASIAN SEARED TUNA SALAD. The brownies and choc. torte are excellent. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
Charge $1 extra for to-go? What a scam!!! – Just went there for breakfast and got a mysterious charge that was no-where to be found on the menu...a $1 packaging fee. I asked and they said it was a "packaging fee." They were firm on it and being with co-workers, I didn't push the issue, but all in my group thought it was BS and won't return. It may be relatively insignificant amount but it is entirely unprofessional. There are plenty of other restaurants in the triangle area to give your business to.
limited menu. Food on the whole is quite bland & undersauced. However, it is cheap. service is nice.
They do let you order quite a lot of combinations. Their pasta salad is good.
I would recommend the West Lynn location for kids - easier parking & it has a outdoor seating area (though it overlooks the parking lot).
The Triangle gets the third location of this hip and casual self-serve cafe. – In Short
Maintaining this South Austin favorite's signature casual counter service and retro décor, expect Galaxy Café to fit perfectly alongside its Triangle counterparts. Mod lighting, cool music and splashes of chrome and red make the dining room seem hipper than the average casual eatery. The menu remains the same with classic breakfasts and speedy lunches including favorites like hearty chimichurri steak and pesto portabello wraps, entrée-sized salads, sandwiches and Angus burgers (go for the sweet potato fries on the side). Dinner highlights include creative daily specials like homemade turkey meatloaf and grilled mahi mahi. Special children's menus are also available.

Would Amazon Offer Up Free eBooks With Advertising?
from the and-does-that-deserve-a-patent? dept
A bunch of folks have sent in a MediaPost story about a recently granted patent and some patent applications by Amazon that suggest the company is at least considering offering free ebooks with contextual advertising mixed in or possibly the ability to get a free ebook with the purchase of a physical book. To be honest, the idea doesn't seem all that surprising -- and ebooks supported by ads is something that's been talked about for ages (after all, once it's digital, it's effectively the same thing as a web page anyway, right?). So I'm a bit confused as to the reason for a patent. The basic process doesn't just seem obvious, but with tons of prior art, unless you suddenly want to pretend that an ebook is somehow different than any other digital file.

Get an animated lesson in bikes, stop signs, and the Idaho Stop Law
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on April 14th, 2009 at 11:44 am
about bikes, stop signs, and the
Idaho Stop Law by Spencer
Watch it below.
Lots of stop sign news at BikePortland headquarters today.
I spent my morning out at SE Water and Caruthers where city crews recently removed two stop signs that were deemed unnecessary, I just got off the phone with Traffic Division Lieutenant Bryan Parman about an "enforcement mission" (a.k.a. sting) at a stop sign on SE Clinton this morning, and I have been planning an update on the BTA's Idaho Stop legislation.
Before I get to all those stories, I wanted to share an very cool animation created by Portlander Spencer Boomhower (you might remember him from an article he wrote for BikePortland last month). When he's not thinking or writing about bikes, Spencer is a freelance computer graphics artist. He masterfully put those skills to use in a video he titled, Bicycles, Rolling Stops, and the Idaho Stop.
Watch it below:
Bicycles, Rolling Stops, and the Idaho Stop from Spencer Boomhower on Vimeo.
Spencer says he hopes the video makes its way to legislators in Salem who are still pondering the Idaho Stop Law.
...speaking of which... stay tuned for updates on that and all your local stop sign news...Email This Post Possibly related posts

Why Counties Matter
Umatilla County Mission Statement
The Mission of Umatilla County is to provide public services, both legally required and locally desired, in a balanced fashion and in an efficient, effective and respectful manner, within legal constraints and available resources.
Umatilla County History
Umatilla County traces its creation in 1862 to the regional gold rushes, which spawned the river port of Umatilla City and brought stock raisers to the lush grasslands. Although Lewis and Clark and the Oregon Trail pioneers passed through Umatilla County, it did not bloom until the arrival of the railroad in 1881 and the development of dry land wheat farming.
Water in the form of irrigation has been key to economic diversification and growth, most recently in the Hermiston area, where the desert now yields lush watermelons and other products. Tourism is also increasingly important to Umatilla County where "Let-er-Buck" is heard by Pendleton Round-Up crowds.

Message From the Club President
It is my Honor and Pleasure to serve as the 2013-2014 President of the Christiana Rotary Club.
The theme for Rotary International this year is: "Encourage Rotary and Change Lives". This ties in nicely with what our club accomplishes each year. Front of mind would be our T.O.U.C.H program in which we have changed hundreds of children's lives over the past years that may never have had a Christmas if it weren't for us. We should all be very proud!
It will be a fun year and I plan to continue with the Charities that we've supported in the past while adding a few new charities. Each year our TOUCH program continues to grow and I have confidence that we will raise the money needed this year to make Christmas special for ALL the children. I am extremely thankful to be associated with such a dynamic group of people and your dedication is appreciated.
I have the same vision as all incoming presidents in growing Membership and I have confidence that with the Membership committee and the help of the whole club, we will see substantial growth this year. Our NARC committee will be very active attending events to spread the word about Rotary. Offsite meetings with new members will also take place to ensure that they have a complete understanding of the 5 avenues of Rotary which will assist them in choosing a committee that they have interest in.
Every member of the club, guests and speakers play an important role and each of you are truly valued! Let's make this a fun filled year working as a team to ENCOURAGE ROTARY and CHANGE LIVES!
Yours in Rotary,
Carol Brindle
Christiana Rotary

There is no doubt that life is given us, not to be enjoyed, but to be overcome --to be got over.
This quote is about adversity
Search on Google Books to find citations of this quotation.
Arthur Schopenhauer (February 22, 1788 September 21, 1860) was a German philosopher. He is most famous for his work The World as Will and Representation. He is commonly known for having espoused a sort of philosophical pessimism that saw life as being essentially evil, futile, and full of suffering. However, upon closer inspection, in accordance with Eastern thought, especially that of Buddhism, he saw salvation, deliverance, or escape from suffering in aesthetic contemplation, sympathy for others, and ascetic living. His ideas profoundly influenced the fields of philosophy, psychology, and literature.

Front Page Quotations Other Quotes Week of 30 October, 2006
Quotations about Liberty and Power
About this Quotation:
Leoni berates economists who, in most cases, can see the benefits of decentralised, rivalrous activity in purely economic activities, but do not see that the same situation exists with legal services which, in the modern world, have been the exclusive preserve of a centralised, national, government monopoly. He slyly suggests that this is a result of the lack of historical knowledge on the part of these economists who not not realise that historically in Ancient Rome, in the free medieval cities, and in the Anglo-Saxon world such legal services have been provided in exactly this manner. A close reading of Adam Smith shows that he was aware of the fact that different courts competed for business and charged different fees for their services in his own day.

Discovery Grants
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Franklin Project intends to create a system that supports one million civilian national service opportunities every year for 18-28 year olds with a mixture of public and private funds. Community service helps young adults get valuable job experience, learn to work across race, class and geographic lines, and prepare them more fully for education or careers. It can be particularly valuable for veterans in their transition from military to civilian life. Volunteers conduct work valuable to their communities, including early childhood education, maintaining public lands and waterways, building housing and parks, and assisting the elderly.
$25,000Active Strategy
2013 (Inactive Grant)
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Inclusive America Project is part of the Aspen Institute's Justice and Society Program. It addresses societal challenges related to religious conflicts by promoting religious pluralism, freedom of worship, and honoring the rights of others. Acting through a panel co-chaired by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Harvard Kennedy School Professor David Gergen, the Project will seek to ensure greater respect in the public sphere for the identities of religious communities, foster more positive relationships between people of different faiths, and create partnerships among disparate organizations in service to the common good.

Top 20 Western Conference Fantasy Goalies - Part 3
It should be noted that I didn't include Roberto Luongo on my top 20 Western Conference goalie list. Although still under contract with the Vancouver Canucks, I just can't see him spending any substantial time on the ice with the team. The Canucks have made it clear that Cory Schneider is going to be the man between the pipes, and Luongo is going to want to go somewhere where he can be the main guy.
It will be interesting to see how the Luongo situation plays out now that the lockout is well underway. Should it end at some point, how fast will the Canucks be able to move him to another team?
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers still make the most sense as far as destinations go. I'm sure if Luongo had his choice he would love to go back to Florida where he has a home and lives in the offseason. The spotlight there would be pretty dim, as opposed to Toronto, where fans and media will want to know what he is having for breakfast every morning.
Despite what many fans think around here, I don't feel Luongo would automatically make the Leafs into a championship contender. Keep in mind he has yet to capture the Cup in Vancouver with a far superior team than Toronto can boast. Not only that, but the young assets the Leafs will have to part with to pry him away could weaken the team substantially. He could definitely help them get to the playoffs, but anything more could be wishful thinking. I may be one of the few who believe that teams shouldn't rely on a strong goalie to carry them. The Detroit Red Wings have been the most dominant NHL franchise over the last quarter century, and have done it all with only above average goaltending. And no Tim Cheveldae does not count.
Either way expect smart hockey man and Canucks general manager Mike Gillis to take his time, and make sure he gets good value in return from whoever he decides to move Luongo to.
Here are goalies 10-6 on the list.
10) Corey Crawford - Chicago Blackhawks
Crawford started 55 games last year, which was the same total he started in his rookie campaign of 2010-11. His other numbers, however, didn't quite hold up in a similar fashion. His save percentage went from .917 down to .903, and he failed to record a shutout in 2011-12. Crawford wasn't helped by the fact that the Blackhawks weren't all that great defensively last year. The Hawks finished 27th on the penalty kill and just 22nd in goals against per game.
Having Johnny Oduya in the lineup for a full year should help Chicago and Crawford keep pucks out of the net. The Blackhawks have had a great offensive defense corps in the last few seasons, but were missing that one defensive focused blueliner.
Although Crawford struggled against Phoenix in the playoffs, he finished the regular season strong by winning 12 of his last 18 starts.
9) Antti Niemi - San Jose Sharks
You can no longer call Niemi a one hit wonder anymore. He has produced two solid campaigns after helping the Blackhawks to a Stanley Cup during his rookie season. Chicago felt he was expendable and that was the Sharks gain. Since arriving in San Jose he has recorded 12 shutouts and posted a .917 save percentage.
Niemi has also proven himself very durable when it comes to games played. He has increased his totals in starts, minutes played, and shots faced, significantly in the three years he has been in the NHL. In fact, the Sharks gave up the eighth most shots in the league in 2011-12, so you know a heavy workload won't be an issue for Niemi.
8) Miikka Kiprusoff - Calgary Flames
Kiprusoff will be 36 in less than a month, so one would think he would show signs of slowing down in the not so distant future. Then again he finished third in the West in 2011-12 in both minutes played and starts. The main reason he isn't higher on the list is that the Flames are really an average team that refuses to rebuild. And the Finnish goalie is why they continue to be in the playoff hunt.
His win totals have dropped in the past three years, and the 35 he had last season tied for the lowest total he has posted since 2003-04, when he played in just 38 games. His save percentage and goals against average are still one of the best in the league though. So he is still a good number one option for your squad, the Flames identity crisis notwithstanding.
7) Jimmy Howard - Detroit Red Wings
With the retirement of Nicklas Lidstrom, and the Red Wings slipping just ever so slightly, Detroit is going to be relying on goaltending more than ever before. Jimmy Howard has already proven himself more than capable for the task. In 2011-12 he ranked fifth in the West when it came to goals against at 2.12, and fourth in shutouts with six.
Detroit is another one of those goalie friendly teams that is very focused on defense. Coach Mike Babcock's system stresses a team concept and his forwards are some of the best two-way players in the game. The Wings also finished seventh overall last year in goals against, which will benefit anyone between the pipes. The departure of Lidstrom hurts them, but not enough to avoid owning Howard.
6) Kari Lehtonen - Dallas Stars
Lehtonen set career highs in save percentage and shutouts in 2011-12, and was the backbone of the Stars last season. Without him Dallas could have easily been challenging Edmonton and Columbus for that first overall pick. The great news for Lehtonen owners is that he has managed to stay fairly healthy since arriving in Big D.
Lehtonen won 11 of his first 12 starts last year, and also had a run were he was victorious in eight of nine starts later in the season. If you factor in the firepower that the team added this offseason which includes Derek Roy, Ray Whitney, and Jaromir Jagr, the Stars are deeper than they have been in years. This should add up to more wins for Lehtonen and potentially a return to the postseason for Dallas.

Detroit has been trending in the wrong direction in SOGA (shots on goal against) over the last 5 years and it will only get worse without Lidstrom & Brad Stuart gone too. I'm not touching Howard in any leagues this year.
With Lehtonen, you note that they've add Roy, Whitney, and Jagr. OK, but what about the players they lost? Steve Ott is one of the more unheralded two-way players in the game, always doing really well in his defensive end with FOW & aggression as a net-front presence. Roy vs. Ribeiro is pretty lateral, but even Ribs is a more aggresive defensive center than little Roy. And the team lost their top +/- defensemen in the big Sheldon Souray.
OUT: Ott, Ribeiro, Souray. That's 3 of their top 7 +/- players from last year.
Jagr, Whitney, and Roy are on the far end of the defensively-sound spectrum. It's possible that Dallas WIN totals go up a few, but I'd bet that Lehtonen's 2.33 GAA & .922 SV% will be worse than last year.
austeane said:
I personally think he will be a top 3 fantasy goalie this year... Call it the Thomas syndrome. Gets displaced by talented younger goalie, comes back year after with record breaking season.
I really don't get that decision.

Updated January 20:
As we all knew, the time would come when McCullough would leave Port Charles once again. This time the actress leaves in two weeks, according to Soaps In Depth, so the actress can continue on her path of directing. As soon as her schedule allows, this fan favorite will return to "General Hospital." As she states in an interview with Daytime Confidential, "But it's not goodbye. It's just see you later."
Originally posted August 21:
Soap Opera Digest has confirmed that Kimberly McCullough (Robin, "General Hospital") will return this fall. "GH" Executive Producer Frank Valentini said that the actress has inked a contract. "Robin is such an important part of the history. It will be so wonderful to see her come back and what that effect will have on the canvas." McCullough left General Hospital in July 2012, but has made guest appearances since then.
