Planned Giving
There are
many opportunities for individuals to support the Anacostia Community Museum.
Why not think ahead and make arrangements for a legacy gift with the support
of bequests, large and small, or through other planned giving vehicles. Planned
gifts help fund a variety of essential projects at the Museum, including special
exhibitions, research, and scholarly publications; and collections preservation
and acquisitions; as well as education and public programming.
Making a planned gift, such as including a bequest to the Museum in your will, or naming ACM as the beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust, of a life insurance policy, or of your retirement fund, will make a difference for the Museum's future. Planned gifts can also benefit you financially, offering significant tax advantages for you and, in some cases, providing income for you or your chosen beneficiary for life.
Types of planned gifts include:
• Legacy or Estate Gifts enable you to benefit the Anacostia Community Museum in your will or living trust; this can be especially useful for individuals who cannot currently make large gifts. Gifts of life insurance and retirement benefits will support ACM when you name the Museum as beneficiary of the remainder of your pension plan, 401(k), or IRA.
• Life Income Gifts allow you to make a charitable gift now, while still providing for yourself and/or your selected beneficiaries. Examples of include charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, or deferred payment gift annuities.
• Other planned giving considerations may include gifts of cash, securities, gifts to the permanent collection, or real estate.
The Anacostia Community Museum recommends that you discuss your gift plans with your own legal and financial advisors. Members of the Smithsonian staff will be happy to work with you and your advisors to ensure that your gift meets your goals and the Museum's needs. Please help ACM with its planning, and allow us to show you our appreciation by letting us know once you have incorporated the Museum into your estate plans.
If you would like more information about planned gifts, please contact:

How to Find Owls: A Crash Course in Montana
An amateur birder learns how to locate owls, using scientific techniques.
On an otherwise warm April day in Montana, I was wrapped in the cool, damp shroud of an aspen grove. Compton tortoiseshell butterflies danced in midair around me, and woodpeckers whinnied and drummed in the distance. Montana had endured a winter rocked by record snow, and now the season was changing before my eyes. While on any normal day this lively spectacle would have impressed me, today I was fixated on finding any aspen tree with a woodpecker hole, searching for my holy grail: a northern saw-whet owl.
I was participating in the Montana Owl Workshop, a multi-day crash course on finding, identifying, and monitoring owls, offered by Wild Planet Nature Tours. The "knock and scrape" technique I was using was one of 10 scientific methods I had learned from workshop leader Denver Holt, a researcher at the Owl Research Institute (ORI). He's been studying owl ecology in Montana for more than a generation--and there's no better place to look for such fascinating birds of prey than Big Sky country, which boasts one of the largest numbers of breeding owl species in the United States. Fifteen species occur here; 14 of them breed here, including boreal, burrowing, northern hawk, and great gray owls.
Holt started the Montana Owl Workshop as a way to get more citizens involved in bird conservation, teaching participants the techniques that the ORI's team of biologists employs in its long-term owl research. "We've done a really good job of educating young kids about the environment and focusing on the next generation, but adults have been left behind when it comes to outdoor environmental education," Holt says. "We need to take the next step with adults, who have the time, the resources, and the voting power to make a positive change on environmental issues. A more informed public will be able to make more conservation-minded decisions."
On the day we searched for saw-whets, our small group of seven bird enthusiasts had split off into teams and fanned out into the woods around the town of Charlo, about 60 miles from Missoula. Determined to be the first to find an owl, my partner, Chris, and I navigated tangled underbrush and climbed over felled trees, ankle-deep in thawed, moist soil, and knocking and scraping the bark of dozens of trees. The technique requires at least two people. One uses a hardy stick to first rap on the trunk of a tree five times in succession, then immediately scrape five times. The other person watches the holes for movement.
After several unsuccessful hours, the other members of the group headed to the van. Chris and I took our time returning, knocking and scraping a few more trees along the way. Upon investigating a final trunk, our patience finally paid off: a female northern-saw whet peered out at us. Jackpot!I tried to contain myself but couldn't help jumping up and down, giddy with delight. The others joined us to take pictures, and the saw-whet mother watched us with as much interest as we looked at her. Then, in a flash, she was gone. As Chris and I high-fived, we were rewarded with Holt's simple praise: "Good spot." This was just one of several "experiences of a lifetime" that we enjoyed, thanks to our charismatic guide.
Besides knocking and scraping at aspen, the other scientific techniques we learned and tested included, among others, dragging a rope, using mist nets, and checking nest boxes (for more on these and other techniques, see below). Holt was careful to point out, however, that such methods should be used only sparingly, and specifically in locating and monitoring owls for research purposes. "Owls should not be disturbed during nesting periods," he says.
Using these field methods, we observed four species of owls in addition to the northern saw-whet: northern pygmy, short-eared, great horned, and long-eared. The nests we discovered were documented as part of ORI's ongoing research. The memories stayed with us. "Denver made us think about how a bird behaves, where it lives," workshop participant Suzie Gauss, a retiree from Scottsdale, Arizona, told me. "I do look at my entire environment differently now."
A year later, as Holt's workshop is again underway, I still find myself thinking about this trip. One thing's for sure--I will never look at a tree snag the same way again.
For more more information about Denver Holt's Montana Owl Workshop, including when next year's program will take place, visit Wild Planet Nature Tours. To learn more about Denver's research and ways to support the Owl Research Institute, visit owlinstitute.org.
Owl Identification and Monitoring Techniques
Some of the techniques described below should be used only by scientists and only for research purposes. They are to be employed sparingly to locate nests for monitoring purposes. Owls should not be disturbed during nesting periods.
1. Passive/active
Elicit a verbal response by mimicking a specific song or playing a song on a portable device. Owl songs can be divided into "hoots, toots, and trills," with large owls hooting (low pitch with a lot of bass), small owls tooting (higher pitched), and certain species trilling (screech owls), with a few exceptions. Owl species: all
2. Look into stick nests
Large abandoned or older stick nests--often made by crows, ravens, magpies, or hawks--provide ideal owl nesting habitat. Owl species: long-eared, great horned, and great gray owls
3. Check for white wash and pellets

subset: commoncrawl

MetricsAnalytics is a Sonar plugin that analyzes the Total Quality related to your Java code. Using this plugin you can visualize your Java code from different points of view: Architecture Quality (normalized distance from main sequence, cycle number, etc.); Design Quality (CBO, DIT, NOC, RFC, etc.); Code Quality (comment, duplicated line, complexity cyclomatic, etc.); Test Quality (code coverage, test failed number, etc.); and Total Quality. MetricsAnalytics helps you to re-factorize your code and check your test coverage. It improves the maintainability, reliability, and efficiency of your project in running time. It tries to unify the concepts of XRadar in the Sonar World with some adaptations to get the Total Quality Indicator. It adds new domains and metrics in Sonar and an extension point in the dashboard: the "Design" domain with the class metrics of Ckjm, and the "Architecture" domain with the package metrics of JDepend.

Refine Your Results By:
Select up to three bra sizes to filter by.
Given the wide range of brands and styles that we carry at Journelle, chances are you'll wear at least a few different sizes - certainly across brands, but sometimes even in different styles from the same brand. We recommend that you select the size you have most recently worn plus two "sister sizes". For example, if you are a 32D, we recommend you look at bras in sizes 30E and 34C as well.
$47.60 - $68.00This sexy demi bra offers some serious oomph and support, while the wide band and a peek-a-boo panel in the spacer pretty much guarantee cleavage vertigineaux.
$68.00Three paneled construction offers some serious va-voom and even more serious support (absolutely necessary in a bra that goes to an H cup). Did we mention it's also gorgeous?
$70.00Slightly fuller coverage in the cups and a little thicker and stronger mold, this t-shirt bra has a little more oomph and architecture than our other fave Chantelle styles.
$34.00This lovely lacy panty is one of the newest arrivals in Chantelle's canon of classics, and it, like all good upstarts, is brash and bold and playing all of its cards right.
$39.00 - $78.00
$34.00 $17.00
$78.00A perfect French botanical lace balconette silhouette, with lovely slender straps, wide-no-dig band, and impeccable fit up to a G-cup? All we can say is "Merci".
$24.00The only thing we love more than this Brazilian-tanga shape is the petal-botanical graphic print of the extremely soft lace. Effortlessly cheeky and new-world French? Merci.
$28.00The petal-botanical graphic print of this extremely soft lace hipster is absolutely lovely against the body, with slinky microfiber panels and a French Knicker silhouette. Thank you? Merci.
$82.00Like the electric moment of happening, the snap of the shutter, the spark of a kiss, this classic demi, with its gorgeous deco-lace, is truly movement captured in perfection.
$36.00This stunning Brazilian-inspired tanga captures the impulse of movement perfectly. Light and shadow, deco-inspired lace, and stunning scalloped edging are utterly perfect.
$105.00The opera is luxurious, moving, theatrical, virtuosic, and really, really beautiful. Of course, that's how we feel about this gorgeous demi bra. It hits all the high notes.
$52.00The word "diva" originally comes from the opera, and looking at this stunning, preening, dahlia lace tanga that always gets its way, we think we see why.
$54.00Stunning dahlia lace belongs in an aria, how it sits on the body worthy of song, how it looks against the skin an arpeggio. The lights go down, the curtain comes up.
$108.00Perfect with stockings, not too shabby with one of those hats with horns, like the best divas, this operatic waist-cinching suspender belt hits all the high notes.
$88.00If this gorgeous demi is the queenly uniform for some sort of serpentine-and-lace Palais Royale, all we can say is we are ready for our coronation.
$44.00We want to be the kind of queen that flaunts a keyhole shorty like this. The gorgeous embroidered pointelle and peek-a-boo keyhole is our kind of royalty.
$38.00 $19.00How our loyal subjects react to a piece like pitch perfect embroidered pointelle tanga is our kind of royal treatment.
$78.00Oh Paris, how we love thee. We love how everything is easy and beautiful, elegant and yet somehow simple. And that is exactly how we feel about this gorgeous (yet totally wearable) t-shirt bra.
$34.00We love the nighttime shadows and light of Paris, reflected in the river or in the eyes of a lover. We love this lace and silk classic tanga. Paris? J'Taime.
$78.00Oh Paris, how we love thee...
$38.00 - $78.00This demi's smooth cups and impeccable fit are made lovely by slender straps and sweetly pretty lace detailing, all the way to an F cup. Perhaps the world's most perfect bra?
$78.00Chantelle has brought us the perfect pretty t-shirt bra
$30.00This lovely, lacy bottom was the first Brazilian-style tanga we ever encountered, and it's essentially perfect. Easy to see why it's one of our all-time faves.
$34.00The prettily sweet lace of the Rive Gauche line suits this French Knicker shorty shape so well, you might just forget that this is the bottom that matches your t-shirt bra.
$78.00With a medium-strong mold to the cups, fully convertible (and quite pretty detachable) straps, and seemingly stretch-proof band, this strapless is a joy to behold.
$98.00Just outside of Paris, the Vendome cathedral, with its buttresses of glorious support exquisite against the sky. The same scroll and whorl gorgeous against your skin.
$38.00The gothic cathedral that inspired the lace of this lovely tanga with its facade an intricate scroll of stone lacework, makes this effortless, French, perfection.
$52.00These architectural lace shorties are ideal under your perfect cigarette pants, effortless, French. Tie your scarf and take the train, for this is Vendome.

Mini Button Wreath
Before you take those old worn out blouses to the clothing bin (they sell them as rags even if they aren't wearable) remove the buttons for this cute button craft project. It makes a unique package decoration.
Lightweight cardboard (I like to collect this so I have it around for various projects...things like the cardboard that comes in folded shirts, large tags from clothing etc.)
Scrapbook paper (ideally this should be the color of the buttons you will be using.)
Two glasses (or other round objects) one smaller than the other.
Stick glue
Hot glue gun
Hot glue sticks (I went through about 2 of these)
Buttons (lots - I used about 80 or so for my small wreath) I like white vintage buttons best, but you could use any color and you can buy them new - of course.
Using the stick glue, start by gluing the scrapbook paper to the cardboard. Remember, stick glue is your friend...be very generous.
Using a pencil, trace the rims of the glasses onto the paper. The larger glass outside and the smaller glass inside to create a wreath form.
Cut out the wreath form. If you're the perfectionist-type you can gently sand the edges so they are smooth (using a sanding block), but keep in mind that they will be 90% hidden by the buttons.
Now comes the fun part. Gather your buttons. I like to sort them into sizes before I get started gluing...makes the whole gluing process a little easier.
Start by gluing a layer of large buttons to the form.
Now glue a layer of slightly smaller buttons on top of the larger ones, staggering them to cover the spaces between the larger buttons.
NOTE: I like to play around with where I will put the buttons because I want to vary the shades of the buttons...especially when using white buttons, because it creates more texture and interest.
Continue gluing on buttons using smaller buttons each layer, and filling in the blank open spaces. This will create a rounded effect. Then I go back and add smaller buttons to the empty spaces left on the edge between the large buttons in the first layer. (That description is about as clear as mud, but hopefully, you get what I mean.)
And that's it! Loop a pretty length of grosgrain ribbon around the top and tie with a bow...then hang it somewhere that will make you smile when you look at it.

great casual look, goes with every island look, easy to pack for travel ! nice quality woven hemp and charm, good fit good color easy to wear! February 5, 2014
too small for my wife looking for size 11. The size 11 for this sandal was too narrow... foot was half off the leather. had to return June 26, 2013
Very comfortable! These flip flops are incredibly comfortable and very cute! I did follow the other reviewer's advice and ordered 1 size up and they fit perfectly! I haven't had any problems "wearing" them in either, which is a huge bonus! I ordered 2 colors and I'm glad I did! May 19, 2013
Beautiful for Summer But a Touch Narrow These are very beautiful flip flops. I purchased them in blue and the color is vibrant and bright. The soles are comfortable with nice cushion under the leather but they are a bit on the narrow side. Additionally, the straps are a little stiff between toes and require some breaking in. The sand dollar is a really nice touch and is one of the main reasons I purchased these flip flops, however, there are little gemstones all around it and I fear in time they may fall out. Overall, I really like the look of these sandals and the quality is very nice. March 16, 2013

Yes, it's one of these articles. A "response to a big gaming conference" piece, penned for maximum impact right after Microsoft's Xbox One presentation has taken place. You're right to be suspicious, there is an opportunistic agenda behind it.
But here's the thing; a new consoles should, in theory, be pretty relevant to PC users. Some of the gaming landscape, and how we interact with it as players, will be shaped by the console twins of PS4 and Xbox One.
Only some of it though. Figuring out which parts is down to the art of good old informed speculation.
Xbox Three actually, but who's counting?
As it turned out, Microsoft's event was twenty parts bluster about American television services to one part genuine, useful information. But let's go over what was shown, and how it may relate to future PC usage.
1). Used games / Online-DRM: To the surprise of perhaps no-one, the most interesting piece of information about the Xbox One didn't even come out of the conference itself. It comes from this Wired piece, which has a few details about how the console will deal with preowned games. Effectively, it seems like all games will install to the HDD and be tied to an Xbox Live account. If you want to lend your game to someone, they'll have to pay some sort of fee to install it. They may or may not have the option to just play it from the disc and then return it.
That's a slap in the face for console users, but we're sort of used to it here in PC land. Most digital download titles are tied to (say) a Steam account, so you can't lend them out without taking the major risk of sharing account details. Disc-based releases often have limited installation restrictions or one-off 'activation' codes. Of course, these restrictions are mitigated on PC by regular special offers and much lower pricing. If anything, this could be Microsoft adapting a method for preventing used game sales that's been around on PC for years.
As for always-online nonsense (of the type which crippled the recent SimCity); Microsoft says it won't force developers to make use of its cloud-based servers to offset some of the processing power from the Xbox One's hardware, but it would like them to. Any games which do take up this option would need a steady internet connection to function. Assuming that a proportion of developers will take Microsoft up on this offer, and assuming those same games get a PC version, we're probably going to see even more games demanding at least a semi-consistent connection in future. That's bad news all round.
Congratulations Microsoft, you designed a PlayStation.
2.) So what's inside that massive black box anyway?: Microsoft's event was significantly light on technical details. It was proudly trumpeted that the One has five billion transistors as if that meant anything, followed by a cursory mention of 8 gig of RAM. Hey, that's actual information! Except incomplete information, because the RAM type remains a mystery. Maybe Microsoft aren't the best people to be explaining hardware specs though, because the speakers kept insisting that the Xbox One would be powered by clouds (a blatant lie, it'll be powered by electricity.) Someone else insisted that the new Kinect was literal rocket science, which isn't all that impressive either considering rockets have been part of recorded history since at least the 13th Century.
Luckily, Engadget were allowed to poke around the innards, confirming that the RAM is DDR3 stuff. The rest of it looks rather PC-esque as well, with the use of x86 architecture and a Direct X 11.1 graphics chip (albeit heavily customised.)
Developers always manage to squeeze much more efficient and impressive results out of closed, console systems, so the fact that the hardware specs don't exactly look as if they'll challenge contemporary PCs is probably misleading. If history is any indication, once developers figure out how to maximise the PS4 and Xbox One hardware we'll be needing to upgrade our rigs to keep up. No huge surprises there.
Watching TV and browsing the internet AT THE SAME TIME? What sorcery is this?
3.) It can do stuff we've been doing on PC for ages: Microsoft was very proud about the fact that it'd be possible to use the Xbox One to watch TV and browse the internet at the same time, using a picture-in-picture feature. Something you've been able to do with a PC since the internet became reliable enough to stream video. The bombshell news that you'll be able to use Skype on your Xbox One was similarly underwhelming for PC users.
Apparently, this console will also have lots more multiplayer servers which means bigger multiplayer matches in games. Great. Maybe the Xbox version of Battlefield will finally be able to host games with as many players as the PC version.
4.) In control: It just wouldn't be a Microsoft event without someone pretending to still be excited about Kinect, and the people on stage were pretending hard. The Xbox One is doubling down on voice commands which, while probably not relevant to the PC, does open up whole new avenues for localised griefing. Is someone getting to a tricky part in Dark Souls II? Amuse yourself by saying "Xbox, switch to TV†and watching the ensuing rage!
In more tangentially PC-related news, the new physical controller looked pretty inoffensive. That's probably because it seems almost identical to the Xbox 360 one (but, supposedly, with a better d-pad.) With any luck, this will mean older 360 controllers will continue to function with PC ports for the foreseeable future. No need to shell out for a new one of those.
Some sort of inferior alternative to a mouse and keyboard, I guess.
5.) Oh hey, it still plays games: Microsoft somehow found a few minutes in its 60 minute commercial for the NFL to share a couple of details about games which may be of interest to the PC player.
Future EA Sports titles will be making use of a new engine called Ignite. This is presumably exciting, but the only real footage we saw of it was wireframe stuff in between Lionel Messi confirming that, yes, he does in fact enjoy playing football. Still, it suggests that the next set of EA Sports ports to appear on the PC will utilise more of our beloved box's hardware power ... in some way.
If Fifa's Ultimate Team mode is your thing on PC, the news that unspecified parts (not all of it) will be exclusive to the Xbox One could cause some alarm. But don't worry, it's probably just some rubbish to do with Kinect.
Alan Wake 2 did not appear in any form, but developers Remedy will be making something called Quantum Break. The aired mash-up of live-action parental chatting and rendered boats crashing into bridges was confusing and didn't explain much about the game, but given Remedy's record it might show up on PC in about two years time. Quantum Break is one of Microsoft's fifteen Xbox One exclusives, but it seems like we'll have to wait until E3 to learn about the rest.
Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Ghosts has stealthily turned itself into Fable 2 by including a dog. We now know why the player will have to open all of those damn corridor doors in the next CoD: it's because dogs don't have hands.
And that's it.
I'm not kidding, that's all the game stuff.
What's that boy? President Ahmadinejad is trapped down a mineshaft?
So, what does all of this mean for us PC people?
It means we may have to put up with more releases that offset certain computation routines to external servers in ostensibly single player games. Somehow, Ubisoft's (now ditched) always-on DRM, Diablo 3's launch and everything about SimCity appear not have turned developers off this idea.
It means we'll probably have to upgrade our PC specs sooner rather than later (but what else is new for console launches.)
It means a dog in the next Call of Duty.
Truly, the next generation of integrated living room entertainment made by gamers for gamers is just around the cor ... oh god, I think I'm slipping into a PR bull**** coma. Hopefully it'll pass before E3.

The Xbox One: Does it mean anything for PC gaming?

What a pile of crap. If you make a console make it "game centric", otherwise we won\'t buy it.

and i bet you have to pay for the online crap too......
25-05-2013, 06:13 #6BossGuest
I hate the personal profiling with no control over the data they're collecting (audio / video & Lord knows what else) in this new machine - (thanks to the us office of naval intel) ....then they sell that to companies & make you pay for it too.....double profits & your privacy is not even a thought. Then you end up getting funnelled down the whole 'sign up for this, sign up for that' then you must 'buy this, buy that\' like a frikkin mindless consumer.
Microsoft, you suck - give us a mind blowing gaming platform and stop forcing us to buy crap along the way. I won't be buying this - nor my mates, we all feel this is standard Microsoft spin that makes you think you're getting something good then they smash your wallet & lock you into a corner. Bring it on Sony, if you can't capitalise on this stuff up you shouldn't be in business!

Xbox cant replace PC gaming.PC gaming is far better.

Re: The Xbox One: Does it mean anything for PC gaming?
I use my console to access iPlayer and play DVDs. Although I have some games on both console and PC it's so difficult to go back to playing it on a console once you've done it on the PC. It can't help but feel like slumming it, 'making do' because I fancy sitting on the sofa for a bit so I'll put up with the not-so-good gaming experience.
It's not really convenient for the household either. That's everyone's sofa and everyone's lounge so if someone wants to go on the console for a couple of hours that's no TV or music for anyone else during that time.
All of the above is why the reality of playing games via a console never caught on in this household but it's a good set top box for watching stuff.
None of the next gen consoles will change that. Like you say, they are merely catching up with PC on the tech front and the practical inconveniences still exist.
So the answer from me is 'nothing much'.

Re: The Xbox One: Does it mean anything for PC gaming?
The problem with them making new consoles with lower than hoped for specs, is that OUR games on the pc will be limited to what can be done on a console (barring the independents that are the only reason I still play games at all).
So because almost all games are designed for consoles (especially AAA ones), it means for the second half of the cycle, you'll effectively be playing games that are very limited compared to your pc's abilities IF you have a remotely modern PC.
That said, there will be improvement initially (maybe), but 2-3 years from now when we are capable of launching the space shuttle on our pc, its going to be pretty frustrating.
As always, I despise consoles for what they mean for my hobby because of the market they target, I thank God for the independent pc developers that make things like Minecraft, Terraria, and Mount and Blade, and I hope that somehow, some way, the future brings developing for the core niche markets back into vogue.
All that said, this will be almost exactly like the last iteration. But, even if they'd pumped out the greatest specs ever, the current mass design paradigm would leave us with the same problem in general.
And yes, feel free to ignore the hyperbole contained in this post.

City of Moorhead prepares for second Snow Removal DeclarationMoorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - We're just hours away from a Snow Removal Declaration in Moorhead that could bring back another big day of towing.
By: Kay Cooley, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Moorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - We're just hours away from a Snow Removal Declaration in Moorhead that could bring back another big day of towing.
The parking restrictions run from 8 in the morning to 8 at night both Thursday and Friday, hitting roads in Moorhead's "Blue Snow District."
That covers area around MSUM, Concordia, and Eventide.
Right now streets are still packed with snow and cars that will be in the way for public works tomorrow.
Chad Martin, Moorhead Public Works Director: "The best thing we can do is tomorrow look down the street and see nothing."
Come morning, cars parked in front of buildings in the Blue Snow District with even addresses will have to be gone. Friday it switches sides to odd addresses.
Martin: "The system works well if we can get the cars out of the way, we can plow the streets and get it back to the curb-line and get that rough stuff off of the streets."
Early this month, more than 125 people learned the hard way coming outside to an empty spot, instead of their vehicles, and a $95 towing bill.
Martin: "Some people were pretty mad."
The city is supposed to give people a 24 hour heads up and after last time, campuses are sending out a strong warning.
"I received a text message today even, so if you're on their alert system, you can keep updated with that."
So both city employees and students hope this time people get the point. Move your car, or have it moved for you.
"Considering there's a precedent set, yeah, I think people will get the idea that the city means business."

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.
A Retina display with 5.1 million pixels. An all-flash architecture. Quad-core Intel Core i7 processors. In a design that's just 0.71 inch thin and 4.46 pounds. It's not just the most advanced notebook we've ever made, it's the most advanced Mac we've ever made.
Retina display.The world's highest-resolution notebook display.
We wanted this MacBook Pro to have a screen as vivid as your imagination. A screen where everything you see is remarkably vibrant, detailed, and sharp. What we created was the world's highest-resolution notebook display - and our most jaw-dropping Retina display yet.
One screen. Five million pixels.
When you pack over 5 million pixels into a 15.4-inch display, the results are positively stunning. The pixel density is so high, your eyes can't discern individual pixels. Images take on a new level of realism and text is pin sharp. And with a 2880-by-1800 resolution, you can see more of your high-resolution images onscreen with pixel-for-pixel accuracy. So your best ideas can become your best work.More color and contrast. Less glare.
The new Retina display reduces glare while maintaining incredible color and quality. In fact, it has a 29 percent higher contrast ratio than a standard MacBook Pro display. Blacks are blacker. Whites are whiter. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the screen, so you'll see the difference at practically any angle. And you're going to love what you see.
All-flash Storage.It makes quicker work of everything.
When your goal is to build the high-performance notebook of the future, you begin at its foundation. For this MacBook Pro, that foundation was flash. Because when you build a notebook around an all-flash architecture, not only is everything more durable, reliable, and battery efficient - everything is fast. Really, really fast.
Long-lasting battery.7-hour charge, 30-day standby time.
The all-new MacBook Pro has more than just processing power. It has an incredible amount of battery power, too. So you can do more than ever - all on a single charge.
Matching power for power.
A 7-hour battery life is impressive for any notebook. But for a high-performance notebook with an ultra-high-resolution display, top-of-the-line processors and graphics, and a superslim design, it's absolutely remarkable. The built-in 95-watt-hour battery gives you up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles and up to 30 days of instant-on standby time.3 Which means you can put your MacBook Pro to sleep, and it'll come back on instantly - after a day, a week, or even a month. With Power Nap coming this summer in OS X Mountain Lion, your MacBook Pro can continue to receive new email and calendar invitations while it's asleep. And when it's connected to a power source, it can download software updates and make backups with Time Machine. So the next time you open your notebook, everything's right there waiting for you.
Intel Core i7.The latest in quad-core performance.
The all-new MacBook Pro comes with the fastest mobile quad-core processor on the market: the Intel Core i7. It's the muscle behind the most powerful notebook we've ever built.
The new mobile powerhouse.
This notebook has the power to do amazing things. Third-generation Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge processors with a state-of-the-art 22-nanometer single-die microarchitecture provide the fastest quad-core performance ever in a notebook. Hyper-Threading technology allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. And with speeds up to 2.7GHz, 6MB of shared L3 cache, and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.7GHz, these processors are great for running professional applications like Aperture and Final Cut Pro. They also support up to 16GB of superfast 1600MHz memory. Which means the all-new MacBook Pro is ready to take on whatever you can dream up.
Next-generation NVIDIA graphics.A flawless onscreen performance.
Graphics on the all-new MacBook Pro are so fast, smooth, and realistic, you might just forget you're looking at a computer screen.
The power behind the pixels.
The all-new MacBook Pro has a phenomenal display - and a GPU to match. Based on a next-generation Kepler architecture with 1GB of dedicated video memory, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics processor provides up to 60 percent faster graphics performance than any notebook we've ever made. And it delivers enough power to drive the amazing 5-million-pixel Retina display as well as two external displays. All while making the most graphics-intensive tasks - like rendering HD video and editing RAW photography - fast, fluid, and incredibly lifelike.
The future of high-speed data transfer. Ready to use today.
Everything about the all-new MacBook Pro is high performance - even its I/O. Thunderbolt is the fastest, most versatile I/O available, and this notebook has two Thunderbolt ports. That's a huge advantage when you need to connect to just about anything - external displays, RAID arrays, video capture devices, even FireWire peripherals (adapter sold separately, available July) and Gigabit Ethernet networks (adapter sold separately). Combine that with two USB 3 ports, an HDMI port, and an SDXC card slot, and in a matter of minutes you can build an entire professional studio with the all-new MacBook Pro as its centerpiece.
Stay connected with the most advanced wireless technology.
Meet the ultimate mobile creative studio. With an emphasis on mobile. Equipped with the latest three-stream 802.11n Wi-Fi5 and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology, you're free to unplug and still stay connected - to your network, to your wireless peripherals, and to the world.
Advanced speaker design.Your notebook never sounded this good.
You haven't heard it all until you've heard the speakers inside the all-new MacBook Pro. For something so thin and light, the sound is huge. And with a wide dynamic range, optimal balance, and a crisp, expressive quality, these speakers might sound too good to be true. That's because we labored painstakingly over the design to maximize the quality of every decibel you hear.
Dual mics. They'll hear you loud and clear.
Dual built-in microphones are great for when you want to be heard. If you're making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation (coming this summer in OS X Mountain Lion), they create an adaptive audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice - instead of the noise around you.
Touch and go go go.
In OS X, Multi-Touch is an essential part of how you interact with your Mac. Using realistic, intuitive gestures, you can switch between apps, navigate your content, and get the most out of your desktop space. The all-new MacBook Pro features a Multi-Touch trackpad with a large, all-glass button surface. So you can tap, pinch, swipe, and click away comfortably.
A brighter way to work.
Thin and light, this notebook is designed to go anywhere - including places with less-than-stellar lighting. A built-in sensor detects changes in ambient light and adjusts the keyboard brightness automatically. So you're never left in the dark.
Retina-Ready SoftwareYour favorite software. As you've never seen it before.
We've updated Apple software to take advantage of the beautiful Retina display. OS X Lion apps - Safari, Mail, iCal, Address Book, and more - as well as iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, Aperture, and Final Cut Pro have already been optimized, and updates to the other Apple apps are coming soon.

Firefighters battle a blaze Sunday at a West Chicago apartment complex along Route 59 south of Route 64. Area firefighters were among the 120 who assisted in the effort. | Submitted
Updated: December 6, 2012 6:09AM
Two occupants were injured in a three-story apartment building fire in West Chicago on Sunday morning.
Firefighters responded shortly after 10 a.m. to the Timber Lake Apartments complex at 1212 Kings Circle — just off Route 59 and a short distance south of Route 64 — where a blaze in a third-floor apartment forced the evacuation of tenants.
Firefighters said the fire spread quickly into the roof and attic space, and extended rapidly over the tops of fire companies operating in the interior of the building. Operations were then transitioned to an "exterior defensive attack."
Nearly 50 percent of the roof and parts of the third floor collapsed. No firefighters were injured while battling the 24-unit apartment building fire. The nature of the two tenants' injuries was not given.
About 120 firefighters assisted on the scene, including departments from Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, Elgin and Naperville, Winfield, Wheaton, Carol Stream, Bartlett Bloomingdale, Glen Ellyn, Warrenville and Hanover Park.
Firefighters had the fire under control by 12:30 p.m. The cause of the fire was under investigation. The American Red Cross assisted some of the residents in relocating to other apartments within the complex and local hotels.

Kiss, 2007 Rubber, 892 pins 67.5" x 67.5" / 180 x 180 cm
Kiss is made of two transposed grids. The word Kiss appears in English, Arabic (qobla) and Hebrew (neshika). One grid of words hangs against the wall in the reading direction. The second grid of word hangs at the tip of the pins against reading direction. Thus the kisses breathe on each other at the distance of the pin. The words are organized spontaneously and form all nine possible combinations between the languages. The work is lit by several shades of white light to generate a third system of relationships that emerges from the overlapping shadows.

THE ball was either up and over or the team down and out when the Penrith District Netball Association hosted its grand final day at Jamison Park last Saturday.
Fifty-four junior teams, from the under-9s to under-16s, competed in 27 grand finals, while 42 teams battled in 21 grand finals in the senior grades.
Association spokeswoman Kellie Tickner said the courts were filled with excitement as the local netballers attempted to shoot, intercept and defend their way to victory.
"It was a picture perfect day that went off without a hitch," Tickner said.
"There were posters, coloured hair and streamers and a lot of spectators come down who don't normally — grandparents, aunties, uncles — so the sidelines are just shoulder to shoulder."
In one of the fiercest showdowns of the day — the A1 grand final — the Cambridge Park Sabres defeated the Penrith RSL Slammers 40-26.
The player of the match was Cambridge Park centre Narelle Sorth.
Tickner said another highlight of the day was the award for the team with the best supporters, which went to the Riverlands Rainbows in the 14-years division after its players' dads all dressed up in pink and used their attire to spell out "Rainbows".
Celebrations on the day weren't just reserved for the newly-crowned premiers, with the association itself wrapping up its 40th anniversary season.
Now the winter competition is over, the Association's state age representative selections are under way for the 12-15 years age groups.
Registrations are also being accepted for their night competition which will start on Tuesday, October 8.
Meanwhile, Tickner said netball held the most nominations for the Penrith Valley Sports Foundation awards night later this month, which she credited to the fact Penrith was a "very, very strong association".

VIDEO: First Look - Trailer for Disney's OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL
The full trailer for Disney's fantastical adventure OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL has been released. The film, directed by Sam Raimi stars James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Zach Braff and will be released in theaters this March. Get a first look below!
Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting.
Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.

Historical Introduction
Source Note
On 27 November 1832, while residing at
More Info
, Ohio, JS wrote a lengthy
William W. Phelps

, who earlier that year had settled at
More Info
, Missouri. JS's missive included a reminder stressing the importance of record keeping and history writing to the young church. Portions were later added to the Doctrine and Covenants, the church's official collection of commandments and revelations. JS began by noting that he wished "to communicate some things which . . . are laying great with weight upon my mind." He then went on to observe, "Firstly, it is the duty of the lord'[s] clerk whom he has appointed to keep a hystory and a general church record of all things that transpire in Zion . . . and also the[ir] manner of life and the[ir] faith and works." (JS, Kirtland, OH, to William W. Phelps, Independence, MO, 27 Nov. 1832, JS Letterbook 1, pp. 1–4 [D&C 85:1–2].)
JS's dispatch to
View Full Bio
reminding those in Missouri of the importance of record keeping coincided with a new record-keeping initiative in Ohio. This letter became the first entry, identified as "Letter first" and "Letter 1," recorded in what was subsequently designated Letter Book A or Letterbook 1. This record of ninety-three manuscript pages, now published in the Administrative Records series on the Joseph Smith Papers website, preserves copies of early church-related communications dated 14 June 1829 through 4 August 1835.

Correspondence captured in Letterbook 1 includes six early letters composed or received by

More Info
. Two entries describe the
of the proposed "City of Zion" to be built at Independence and the dimensions of the "
house of the Lord
" to be erected there. The
concluding item
in the collection is a letter that incorporates a set of minutes from a council held in Kirtland on 4 August 1835 censuring the Twelve Apostles for failing to fully comply with their fund-raising responsibilities as they conducted a mission among the branches of the church in the East. Note that letters from Letterbook 1 written to or from JS will also appear with individual introductions in the Documents series of
The Joseph Smith Papers.
Letterbook 1 was initiated during a remarkable surge in record keeping, beginning with the calling of

as church historians in 1830 and 1831. Revelations and commandments recorded in
Revelation Book 1
were sent to
More Info
in late 1831 to be published on the church's first press, and
Revelation Book 2
was in use in
More Info
by February 1832. Sometime in 1832, probably between July and September, JS and
Frederick G. Williams
View Full Bio
worked together on a brief history of JS's early visionary experiences. JS purchased the small volume that contains his
first journal
in November 1832 and began penning entries that same month. That fall another record, containing the minutes of early church conference and council meetings and now designated
Minute Book 1
, was commenced. In January of the following year, in another
recorded in Letterbook 1, JS again wrote to

encouraging him as editor of the church's first periodical,
The Evening and the Morning Star,
then printed in
More Info
, to set "forth the rise and progress and faith of the church," that is, to begin publishing items on the history of the church.
This upwelling in record keeping was unusual for the time. As scholar Dean C. Jessee has observed, "So primitive were some aspects of record keeping in nineteenth-century America that much of the early Latter-day Saint experience was a pioneering effort. . . . Although Mormon record keeping was inaugurated by [an] 1830 revelation, details for carrying out that commandment were largely hammered out on the anvil of experience in the years that followed." (Dean C. Jessee, "The Reliability of Joseph Smith's History,"
Journal of Mormon History
3 [1976]: 27.) Thus, during a brief span in the early 1830s, JS, along with those working under his direction, commenced the systematic collection and recording of critical documents pertaining to church governance and administration. Throughout the remainder of JS's lifetime, correspondence-copying, revelation-recording, minute-taking, journal-keeping, and history-writing activities would remain imperative commitments.

; ninety-three pages, including one inserted leaf of an incomplete index (table of contents); JS Collection, CHL. Includes redactions, use marks, and archival marking.
This letterbook was inscribed in a medium-size, commercially produced blank book. The book's ledger paper is horizontally ruled with thirty-six (now faint) blue lines and vertically ruled with four red lines; the paper in the final gathering, however, is missing the horizontal lines. The original book apparently contained nine gatherings of twelve leaves each, but eight leaves were cut from the final gathering. The text block was likely sewn all along over recessed cords, but the book underwent conservation efforts in the late twen-tieth century and was rebound. The leaves measure 12⅝ × 7¾ inches (32 × 20 cm). The pastedowns and flyleaves were blank white paper. The volume was constructed with front and back covers of pasteboard and a tight-back case binding with a brown calfskin quarter-leather binding. The bound vol-ume measures 12⅞ × 8 × ⅞ inches (33 × 20 × 2 cm). The outside covers are adorned in shell marbled paper, with brown body and veins of blue and red. The front pastedown bears the inscriptions "c=c/i" and "/i=", possibly origi-nal merchandising notes.
The first three leaves of the volume contain JS's earliest extant attempt to write a history of his life. Later, the book was turned over so the back cover became the front and the last page became the first. One or more texts were inscribed in this side (the back) of the book on the eight leaves that were later cut out, as is evident from inscriptions visible on the remaining stubs of the excised leaves.
The volume was also repurposed as a letterbook. The letterbook begins on the recto of the fourth leaf in the front of the book (immediately following the history). The letters occupy ninety-three pages. The book's pagination also began anew with the copied letters. The first page of letters bore the inscription "1a", which is only partially extant on the now-trimmed page but is complete in photocopy and microfilm copies at the Church History Library. Page 78 is blank. The front flyleaf is now missing—possibly because it bore a title related to the history and was removed when the volume was converted to a letterbook. The letters were copied with quill pens in ink that is now brown. The pagination appears to have been added at different times and possibly in different hands. There are 101 blank pages between the end of the letter transcripts and the excised pages in the back of the book. There is illegible ink transfer on page [130] from a loose leaf document that was placed between pages [130] and [131] before its ink had dried. There are also smudges of ink on some of the succeeding pages.
At some point,
Frederick G. Williams
View Full Bio
began an index or table of contents that identifies the letters copied into pages 1–25 of the letterbook. This incomplete index is inscribed on paper that does not match the original ledger paper. It was apparently a loose leaf inserted in the volume—as is Williams's index to the contents of Revelation Book 2—although it is currently bound in the front of the volume as a result of the late twentieth-century conservation. The index is horizontally ruled with forty-three manually inscribed graphite lines.
The front cover of the book is labeled "Letter Book | A", in black ink. The "A" is written in a formal style that matches the covers of other manuscript volumes in the holdings of the Church History Library. On the spine, a paper label with the hand-lettered title "KIRTLAND LETTER BOOK" was pasted over an earlier, now only partially visible title, "L[tr?] | B[k?]", written in black ink. These inscriptions are in unidentified handwriting. A small "3" is stamped in dark brown ink at the bottom of the spine. Graphite use marks and copy notes on some pages were apparently made in connection with work on JS's 1838–1856 history.
A reconstruction of the physical history of the artifact helps explain the current material context of the document. Photocopy and microfilm images of the book, as well as an inspection of the conservation work now present in the volume, indicate that the text block separated from the binding at some point. The entire volume was rebound, apparently in the 1990s, including the formerly loose leaf containing a partial index of letters. The back flyleaf was replaced with a leaf of laid paper.
Letterbook 1 was used in
More Info
, Illinois, during the compilation of JS's 1838–1856 history and is listed in the inventory of church records made in connection with the exodus from Nauvoo. The volume is likely accounted for in subsequent Historian's Office inventories, which list multiple letterbooks. It is also listed in the 1973 register of the JS Collection. These archival records indicate continuous institutional custody.

Mark Lund/ The NestBy Sarah Newell for TheNest.com
It may be hard to believe you got to this point-- piles of clutter, crammed closets and overflowing drawers- so here's how to get organized in a cinch. What are you waiting for? The clock is ticking...
If you have 30 seconds...
Sharpen Up Knife Storage
Make your kitchen safer and help knives keep their edge by storing them in a knife drawer. Catch-all drawers are really only good for one thing-hiding what you're looking for. Keep sharp knives separate for safety and easy access.
Contain Plastic Bags
Contain all those empty grocery bags in a plastic bag container to clean up the space under your kitchen sink and keep them at your fingertips for reuse. Find yours at ContainerStore.com.
Easy Ways to Organize Your Wires
Untangle Jewelry
Put brooches and clips in an unused ice tray then place in a bureau drawer. The key here is to see and separate. You'll be more inclined to wear what you know you have and can quickly grab.
Store Toilet Paper
Stash extra toilet paper quickly by stacking inside a clear cylinder vase or umbrella stand for a clean, modern look in the bathroom.
Take Control of the Remote
Toss all your remote controls in a pretty vase that will help to camouflage without hiding them from view. Keep it by the TV-because we all hate playing that game of "Who had it last?"
If you have 1 minute...
Organize Under the Sink
Stick adhesive hooks (found at your local hardware store) to hang a pair of rubber dish gloves in the cabinet under a sink. Your manicure will thank us later.
Add Hooks in the Garage
Hang your bikes on the wall? Check-plus for being one step ahead! Now hammer a nail nearby for your helmet. No more lost time spent looking for it when you could be outside cruising.
Use a Lazy Susan
Sick of struggling to reach the chili powder in the back of the cabinet every time you cook? Put all your condiments on a lazy Susan in your cabinet. Our favorite is from Oxo.com.
Style the Countertop
Instantly give your countertop style an upgrade with a cake stand to contain salt, pepper, olive oil and frequently used seasonings.
Store Loose Batteries
Gather 'em up and rubberband all your batteries with the positive ends facing the same direction.
Color Code the Closet
It seems so simple but try organizing by color; it will instantly give the appearance of neatness.
How to Organize Your Digital Photos
If you have 10 minutes...
Divide and Conquer Shoes
Separate his and her shoes and then group by style: high heels together, tennis shoes on the bottom and flats on a shelf. Put any of your special occasion shoes at the back of your closet.
Maintain the Mantel
Take control of clutter and group like colors and objects on your mantel. If you make it look pretty, you can get away with leaving out your junk.
Rearrange the Cabinet
In the kitchen, tackle one cabinet at a time and sort its contents. Group glasses by style and place upside down. Layer a nonskid liner first for bonus points! If you have tall cabinets, use a tray as a shelf divider to stack glasses on top of each other in layers.
Store More Under the Bed
Take a moment to neatly fold blankets stored in plastic under your bed. You'll be able to store way more things and also quickly grab a throw so you can get back to cozying up on the couch pronto.
Find the Fuse Box
Think ahead and prepare now. Simply attach a magnet to a flashlight and place on a metal fuse box, so next time the lights go out, you won't be fumbling to find the switch.
If you have 20 minutes...
Clean the Home Office
With the computer off, turn keyboard upside down and shake out any crumbs. Dust computer monitor with electronic wipes, eye glass cleaning cloth or even a used dryer sheet. Dust keys with an air duster or a small, clean paint brush.
Store the Gas Grill
Detach the grill from the tank and move it indoors, but leave the propane tank outside--it isn't affected by the outdoor temperatures.
Display Jewelry
A sculptural display, framed foam core or a bust are all perfect for necklaces because they will keep tangles at bay. For rings, use pretty teacups, small bowls or saucers that have lost their mate.
File Keepsakes
Organize knickknacks and mementos within keepsake boxes. Put those empty chocolate and tea tins you're saving to good use and fill with letters, sea shells, theater programs, ticket stubs and matchbooks.
Trick Out a Tea Towel
Attach a couple more towel rods behind the bathroom door in a stacking formation for extra storage without taking over the bathroom.
