The dimensions for this beautiful box are way off. I'd admired this box but it seemed gigantic. After measuring out the info, I thought " this is impossible" and decided to take a chance. true dimensions are 15 5/8"W, 8 1/2"D, and 16 3/4" H. Weight out of the shipping box is 17 lb. It is roomy and I love it. Shipping to the store was prompt and easy to "pick-up".
I bought this for my wife for Mother's Day. She LOVES it. It was a replacement for and older jewelry box that did not have hanging side doors for necklaces. That was a big feature for her. It is a handsome product and looks good on the dresser. It has plenty of room for all her jewelry too. She likes to sparkle so has many things to populate the box. Overall a great value. I would recommend this to any man wanting to get his wife a little something special that is a little out of the ordinary. She loves it!!
This was purchased as a gift, I was very impressed with the workmanship of this jewelry box. Seemed larger that what I thought it would be. Loved it.
Great value and excellent quality product. Shipped free to store and great service at pick-up time.
After we unpacked this item, we tried to remove the large bottom drawer. Well, the entire face of the drawer fell off. Either the glue they used did not hold or they forgot to glue it on. Regardless, it broke off even though we were very gentle with it. Now, being a handy guy, I just glued it back on using wood glue that I already had. However, I am unsure how long this repair will hold and I am dissappointed that the entire jewelry box seems to be glued together in this same fashion. We will keep it since it looks nice and is a great price. However, if you are not prepared to fix this item yourself (if the need should arise), do not buy it.
I am so pleased with it. It is bigger than it looks, made solid ..lot's of room for all my jewelry and space for new one... This is a great gift and I totally recommend it!
I ordered this beautiful jewelry box online and just picked it up tonight. I opened it at the store to check for flaws before driving home with it since we live 30 minutes away. We got it home, checked more closely and found a flaw in the mirror. I hadn't opened it up at the store, simply checked the outside. Anyway, I just ordered a replacement and will switch it out when it comes in. I gave 4 stars for quality because of this defect. It's a beautiful piece! Happy with, otherwise.
This jewelry box is a great deal for the price! I purchased this jewelry box for my wife and she loves it! It is just the right size and still has a lot of character!
It has a wonderful cherry color, the drawers are covered with a soft fiber for fine jewelry storage and it takes almost all the space of a night table.
When I got the box one of the drawers, which are lined with red velvet, was broken.
This is not only a beautiful box, it has lots of storage. It was much bigger than I expected, so when I opened it, I was pleasantly surprised.
Great price comparing similar item to other websites. Plenty of room.
This jewelry box was bigger than I expected and had plenty of room. I have yet to fill it up and it will take me many more purchases to fill this big box.
Exceptional piece!!

Sundance Review Roundup: 'Take Shelter,' 'The Details,' 'Homework'
PARK CITY - It's been a hectic week at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and throw in the Oscar nominations and you've got a scenario of a massive backlog of film reactions from Park City in the cue. With that in mind, here's a rundown of some of the films this pundit has been able to take in since Saturday. Quick and easy.
"Take Shelter"
Already acquired by Sony Classics before the festival began, "Taking Shelter" is a good, but not great drama about a working class man (Michael Shannon) who seems to be succumbing to irrational behavior caused by intense dreams of an impending disaster. Shannon's character becomes obsessed with expanding a storm shelter in his backyard, end ups losing his construction job and almost alienating his wife (a great Jessica Chastain) in the process. The film has numerous subplots to increase the tension, but the build up is perhaps just a bit slow. That said, it has a buzzworthy ending that will probably have most audiences feeling like they got their money's worth. Oh, and Shannon will no doubt be an early name popping up in the Oscar race for 2012.
Grade: B
"The Details"
It's been quite a long time since Tobey Maguire was able to make a movie outside of the shadow of "Spider-Man" and the talented actor does everything possible to make Jacob Aaron Estes' "The Details" a proper comeback. Part dark comedy, part serious drama, "Details" finds Jeff (Maguire) and Nealy (Elizabeth Banks) celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary with tension in the air. Each has secrets, but Jeff, in particular, thinks he's really a "good guy" all around. He believes he doesn't do things in his best interest, but because he should. When he strays from the morally right path such as sleeping with his best friend (a nicely used Kerry Washington) or being seduced by the crazy next door neighbor (a miscast Laura Linney), it's never "his" fault. Estes wants to make a dark comedy in the vein of "Shallow Grave" or even the "War of the Roses" on this moral dilemma, but there just aren't enough laughs overall. What saves the film from being a thematic disaster is one -- just one -- hilarious scene tying everything together at the end. But does that compensate for the rest of the movie? We're not so sure.
Grade: B-
Oh, to be a relatively well off prep school senior from the Upper West Side with the weight of the world on your shoulders (enter Freddie Highmore). Oh, to have a mother who loves you no matter how close you come to being kicked out school (Rita Wilson). Oh, to have a beautiful classmate become your best friend even though she's really fallen for you just as much as you have her (Emma "haven't I made this movie before?" Roberts). Oh, the coming of age heartache of possibly losing your one true love before summer break. It's just too much to bare sometimes, isn't it? Then again, besides one inspired turn by Michael Angarano, there is pretty much nothing in this Fox Searchlight pick up you haven't seen before on the big or small screen ad nauseam. We'll give it this, It's well lit.
Grade: C
"Gun Hill Road"
Similarly themed to 2009 Sundance "La Mission," except with the setting jumping from San Francisco to the Bronx, "Gun Hill Road" follows Enrique (Esai Morales), a parolee returning home to his family after three years in jail. In that time, his little Papi -- high school age son - Michael (an impressive Harmony Santana) has developed feminine tendencies he'd never recognized before. The macho Enrique can't deal with Michael's transsexual inclination or restart the romantic fire with his wife (an underused Judy Reyes). Things predictably go wrong, but why is really not clear. The picture hints that something happened to Enrique in jail, but by not revealing it his motivations become more and more cliche. The film's heart is in the right place and it is an excellent spotlight on the difficulties of the transgendered (a continuing theme at this year's fest), but director Rashaad Ernesto Green can't seem to pull all the story elements together.
Grade: C+
"The Convincer"
Do you love Greg Kinnear movies? If so, chances are you'll really enjoy "The Convincer." I won't spoil the ending, but the movie isn't what it seems for a good 3/4 of the way through. You think Kinnear's character, a Wisconsin insurance salesman, is in the middle of a crazy scheme that has gone totally wrong. Along the way Alan Arkin and Billy Crudup show up with the latter giving the most inspired and entertaining performance in the entire movie. Unfortunately, the movie feels very familiar, because you've seen this concept many times over the past twenty years. Besides Crudup's kooky turn, you just want it all to end.
Grade: C
"Another Happy Day"
An intriguing cast toplines this drama about a family getting together for a wedding of one of the oldest grandchildren. Ellen Barkin plays a stressed out mom (excellent in a role written just for her), Ellen Burstyn the family matriarch (great as usual), Thomas Hayden Church is Barkin's longtime ex and father of two of her children, Kate Bosworth is Barkin and Church's college age daughter who has battled suicide, Demi Moore is Church's Kardashian inspired new wife who essentially raised Barkin's eldest son and Ezra Miller ("City Island") is Barkin's 17-year-old son from her second marriage who has a major substance abuse problem as well as a wickedly spot on sense of humor. The tone of the film is all over the place from deathly serious to over the top comedy. Director Sam Levinson appears to want to say that tone is the emotional dynamic of large families. That's debatable, but while the roller coaster shouldn't work (and at times really doesn't) by the end you realize you've been more entertained than you thought you'd be. It's also a film, however, that's so hard to peg it could end up being picked up by a mini-major or never heard from again.
Grade: B
"Little Birds"
If you haven't heard of Juno Temple you soon will. While the 22-year-old daughter of director Julien Temple has credits such as "Atonement" and "Greenberg" to her name, it's upcoming roles in Gregg Araki's "Kaboom," "Dirty Girl" and eventually "The Three Musketeers" that will make her more familiar to moviegoers. In the meantime, "Kaboom" (which premiered in Toronto) is screening in Park City and she stars alongside Kay Panabaker ("No Ordinary Family")in yet another coming of age dramatic competition drama looking for a distributor, "Little Birds." The film finds Lily (Temple) convincing her good, but somewhat boring friend Alison (Panabaker) to ditch their small town near Salton Sea, CA and follow Jesse (a better than he needs to be Kyle Gallner) to Los Angeles. When the two teenagers get to the big city, they quickly find out Jesse and his two skater friends aren't as cool as they thought they'd be. Well, at least Alison makes that realization. Lily's poor decisions seem to caused by her inability to deal with her father's suicide although when that occurred in relation to the film's setting is unclear. The problem with the film isn't Temple's impressive turn, but director and writer Elgin James screenplay which puts the first act mostly out in Salton Sea where Leslie Mann and Kate Bosworth have little use dramatically as Lily's mother and aunt (although Bosworth is certainly game). The movie doesn't get interesting until it shifts to LA, but James doesn't seem to really want to dive into the more interesting world of modern teenage runaways. Especially after he's created rich characters in Jesse's two off kilter buddies. Like many mediocre Sundance films it's a mix that just doesn't come together as it should.
Grade: C+
"Here" may feature familiar face Ben Foster, but the drama is more of an experimental road trip romance than the conventional global romance many would expect from it's simple synopsis. Set in Armenia, Foster plays a map surveyor sent to the former Eastern Bloc country to try and resolve issues with satellite mapping of the country. Alone in a land where few speak English, he befriends Gadarine (Lubna Azabal), a photographer who has just returned home after spending years working Paris. The two set out to map the countryside meeting some of Gadarine's relatives and old friends along the way. Not surprisingly, they fall for each other and a good chunk of the film has you wondering where they will end up. Gorgeously photographed, Braden King's feature debut would be more focused without the hand painted abstract frames that bookend it and immediately cry "experimental" for no real reason. It's the mood, acting and journey inbetween which is more worthwhile.
Grade: B
"The Guard"
One of the most entertaining and funniest films of the festival, John Michael McDonagh's comedy pairs Brendan Gleeson as a small village Irish policeman and Don Cheadle as an FBI investigator on the hunt for a major drug shipment going through the country. Gleeson is absolutely fantastic as the extremely unorthodox Sgt. Gerry Boyle and the film uses dialogue and wit for laughs rarely succumbing to an obvious physical or stereotypically cute gag. Cheadle is essentially playing Cheadle in the "straight man" role to Gleeson's Boyle, but they are assisted by funny turns from Mark Strong and Rory Keenan. Writer and director John Michael McDonagh shows a tremendous sense of style and comedy without making it so broad that he's insulting his audience. Clearly one of the best of the fest.
Grade: A
And lastly, as for IFC Films pick up "The Ledge," I thought the Charlie Hunnam, Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson drama was so bad I walked out about half way through. There always seems to be one of those every year. You've been warned.

Recently I blogged about promoting books on cell phones – tweens are a tough group to reach when it comes to reading and it was intriguing to think about reaching them through their cell phones.
We are at it again. Inkheart is a best selling book series by Cornelia Funke. The story is about a dad ("Mo" Folchart) and his daughter Meggie who bring characters from books alive. Every time they bring a character to live, a real person disappears into the book pages. The books have a good dose of excitement and a bit of an edge to them. Common Sense Media calls the first book "a rousing adventure" in their review. The Inkheart movie launches on January 23rd, so we launched a "read the book before the movie" internet page on kajeet phones to encourage kids to read the book.
Going to the movie might be a great reward for reading the book. Does that work? Let me know what you think.

Buy some dumbbells and you´re ready to go! I have been training since i was 16-17 (22 today). I never been fat, i had the opposite problem, i was extremely thin. To build muscle for me is a real pain in the ass as of today i´m pretty happy
I´m now, from being the most thin dude on the beach to being the one with, not most muscles but certainly top 10%. I have never hit the gym. Just used a bench and dumbbells all the way from the start to now. I love to workout my muscles however i hate to run, biking, walking and so on. And if you don´t do cardio training at all the chance is to get fit overall but with that little beer bully. And here kinect is my savior. It´s the only thing i used for cardio sence it´s release and i love it. Have been using all of the games for variation and still are
And ufc is one of the top games, it can really give you a run.

Although current proposals for 4000 mph Maglev trains running in evacuated tubes, would offer New York to Beijing in less than 2 hours, built versions of pneumatic railways predate regular subways. Brunel built one, and an underground pneumatic railway was built by Alfred Ely Beach, in Manhattan, in 1869. The late 19th century stock market crash, depression and Civil War, destroyed the idea and little of it remains apart from the station, which features in the movie Ghost Busters II.
Cargo holds are often impressive, cavernous spaces containing strange and interesting objects and equally interesting when empty, often displaying a stark minimalist beauty. They are iconic spaces which often feature in video games and in science fiction, perhaps most famously in Aliens. Here we show our favorites from the real world including giant cargo planes, ships holds that have been turned into a restaurant and a theater and, of course, the Space Shuttle cargo bay.
Skype is an idea that was conceived of by the Victorians, featured in movies in the 20s and became an icon for futurism, and yet the videophone has become ubiquitous independently of telecoms companies. How is it that an idea that could have been seen from such a long way off didn't get developed by phone companies, leading to the ridiculous situation where a phone call costs money but a Skype video phone call is free? Here's a visual history of early videophone concepts.
I started this list as a Thanksgiving homage to American innovation via its greatest inventor. Reading more about Edison and his strange obsession with things like filming electrocutions, using alternating current, of everything from small animals to people and even an elephant, just to try and put people off the rival AC system, managed to put me off him. So as an act of revenge here are some of his less successful, stranger inventions from concrete phonographs to what became the tattoo machine and a ghost detection instrument. Happy Thanksgiving anyway.
In some sense these are steampunk iPods, a ridiculously old fashioned and quixotic category of technology, because there is nothing portable about a record, particularly the brittle shellac versions of the gramophone era. Overcoming this lack of portability is precisely what makes these devices so beautiful and intricate, however, from the later versions which were installed in cars and music systems to the fantastic Peter Pan picnic player, where everything folds out including the platter and the telescopic trumpet. The Peter Pan style came from Europe, when they were called Kamerphones since they looked like the box cameras of the time. They were imported by the Jehovah's Witnesses to take on their rounds and play bible discourses outside people's doors.

On our recent trip to Bern we discovered this fantastic antique store, in the Wunderkammer tradition. It's located at 16 Munstergasse in the center of Bern, 50 yards as the crow flies from where Einstein was living in 1905.

We've moved temporarily from New York to the Swiss-French border where we've bought a derelict barn. Although I will presumably go bankrupt doing this, its been fun re-learning my old architecture skills. I'll upload progress images here. David
According to Bismarck the two things you should never see being made are laws and sausages. Here we reveal the machines involved in the process that is less stomach churning - it involves taking meat and making it into a brown paste then putting it into a colon, traditionally pigs intestines but now plastic. The irony of this being the exact reverse of eating and pooping, obviously hadn't been lost on the German general.There are no more distressing images here beyond what you'd see in the meat section at the supermarket (merely gross ones), but the clip for the Advanced Meat Recovery System which is accompanied by some smooth dinner jazz and whose opening caption reads 'preparing the beef neckbones with a bandsaw' wins a prize for lack of sensitivity.
Babel is interesting because it represents the ultimate in imaginary architecture, a skyscraper of the mind. The Tower of Babel is the archetypal image of a giant tower, a man made hill, yet nothing like our idea of it has ever been built. The closest are possibly Mont Saint-Michel or perhaps the downtown Manhattan cluster, yet one is a natural mound and the other an apparent hill created from many buildings.The idea of Babel traces back to ancient Sumerian stories from the time of 5000 year old Mesopotamian Ziggurats, to the reinterpretation of these myths in the book of Genesis. In the 16th century the ironic obsession with Babel among 16th century painters in hill-less Lowland Europe, created the most well known imagery, but it evolved further with the unbuilt Palace of the Soviets or the imaginary babel in the retro futuristic skyscraper cities of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Yesterday, we visited the Amberley Working Museum, in the picturesque Sussex countryside, in England. This is a great place for exotic man made objects, from phones that were struck by lightning to a great collection of obsolete electronics, including some Sinclair radios that we didn't know existed. Amberley Museum has what bigger institutions sometimes don't have - character. It's an eccentric place run by enthusiasts which give it a feeling all of its own. Enjoy!

What I like about this site: Its an architecture blog that is about the non superficial aspects of design, rather than a Zoolanderesque blog full of signature architecture and willful posing. And I like the 'Pattern Language' style rules. Enjoy. David
The monorail perfectly exemplifies that nothing dates like the future, it is a piece of anachronistic technology that is today largely relegated to theme parks and inter terminal airport transit. Although the archetypal image of a monorail is the 1959 Disneyland version, as this list shows, its design history traces back to the middle of the 19th century, with steam driven versions that share none of the futuristic aesthetic of the streamlined post war versions. In this case, although the pioneering system from a technical point of view was the 1952 German Alweg, the 1911 Boyes monorail prototype shows the origins of the futuristic look.
Scoping this list was more difficult than finding the items - I've tried to keep to electronic devices, the first transistor radio rather than the First radio, and products that were actually sold such as the Dycam Model 1 digital camera rather than the Fuji DS-1P.My favorite here is the first web server, it was one of 2 NeXT machines bought for Tim Berners Lee and nobody knows which one (they both survive) was the first to serve a web page. The NeXT was a beautifully designed machine that Steve Jobs built to show what a personal computer should be, after being ousted from Apple. Berners Lee specifically needed a NeXT to be able to build the web and had difficulty getting approval.You could argue the first web server is merely the machine that happened to perform a first role, rather than a device designed for a purpose, but the fact that Berners Lee needed the NeXT to be able to develop the web quickly and elegantly, shows that sometimes the development of the first example of something predates it actually being used for the pioneering purpose for which it is suited.
Anyone self respecting geek who has been spellbound by the inspired rescue of the Chilean miners, will have found plenty of great info-graphics showing just how impressive a mine is. Here we have gathered some other cutaways, sections and 3d models showing a variety of mines, from the two coal mine alternatives (room and pillar or longwall) to the cavernous chambers of salt mines. Most impressive of all, however, is the physical model of Kidd Creek mine in Ontario where the relatively insignificant looking blobs at the bottom are the world's tallest man made structures, to scale.
Its October 2010 and Chinese property booms while most of the Western world's houses have shrunk to more realistic levels. In the US, homes have ceased to be ATMs to buy oriental barbecues, but in Britain, a crowded island with a cultural attachment to carving out a personal defensible space are Englishmen's homes still castles, with prices to match.As US housing prices adjusted, UK ones, faltered then regained their losses smack in the middle of the recession. This time things look different, with last month seeing the largest dip in housing prices in history. Perhaps prices in Britain will go up forever, or perhaps Britain will be like Japan, another crowded island which had the same phenomenon and where eventual capitulation resulted in a crash where property is worth less than a decade ago?One way to judge judge this is to look at what a million dollars gets you in London and its hinterland - a place where an apartment recently sold for a quarter of a billion dollars during the biggest downturn since the Great Depression.
When Craig Breedlove built the first of the modern jet-propelled record breaking cars in his garage, he named it the Spirit of America, this could have just as well pertained to the place of creation as the object itself. The garage is a symbol of creative entrepreneurialism, people making anything from cars to music to robots and, of course, the Apple computer.
We tend to think of submarines as being a particularly 20th century object when we imagine the nuclear powered, nuclear missile carrying versions. Obviously however, they feature in the Jules Verne classic, '20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' and are, as such a definitive Victorian piece of technology, or to use the term currently in vogue, 'steampunk'.Although the idea of a submarine began as early as the 16th century, it was in the Victorian era that the modern cigar with periscope form was developed with France's Gymnote in 1889.Included here is a picture of the model of the Plongeur which was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in 1867. This was the actual item that Jules Verne saw and inspired the Nautilus in his seminal science fiction work, making it an historic item in the cultural history of technology.
Today, prosthetics are a world apart from these pre-digital age examples, using advanced robotic and cybernetic technologies and tools such as 3-d printers for mass customization. As such vintage prosthetics often have the particularly strange look which is both creepy and fascinating and accompanies technological obsolescence.Early prosthetic limbs date from ancient Egypt and Rome, however examples from the middle ages appear more regularly, being made of armor. The were later replaced by non articulated wooden prosthetics, of the caricature style normally worn by pirates. The tragically large number of amputees in the Napoleonic Wars led to the development of the 'Clapper', named after the sound made by its articulated toes which were controlled by artificial tendons. This prosthetic became the model for the 'American Leg' which was developed during the American Civil war. Wooden prosthetics were heavy and were not improved on till the development of lightweight alloys, during the first World War.
After the furor over the potential Koran burnings last week, I had a look at the precedents, which it seems are everywhere, from Harry Potter to the Bible. For thousands of years, all religions and ideologies have been burning each others' texts.
Antarctic architecture provides imagery of the closest thing that people will be able see to a moon base, within their lifetimes. The extreme nature of the environment combined with its bizarre statelessness, provides the location for a freezing architectural expo, with each country having its own icy pavilion.Since the early days of wooden huts, the architecture has converged on a style which consists of a pod on legs, somewhat reminiscent of Thunderbird II's cargo bay or the Space 1999 freighter. In addition large scale experiments such as the south pole telescope or ice cube neutrino detector (which is technically a telescope at the north pole since it watch for particles which have traveled through the earth) provide equally interesting accidental architecture, in that their designs are purely functional.

STOCKTON – A motor home on fire south of the Benjamin Holt offramp from northbound Interstate 5 has caused traffic to back up quickly to the Crosstown Freeway/Highway 4, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The offramp has been closed and a SIG Alert has been issued. Expected time of reopening is estimated for shortly after 1 p.m.
The first call came in around 11:36 a.m. Communications between Stockton fire officials indicated they were having a difficult time getting to the scene of the fully involved motor home.

Do you see that thing I did there, with the capital letters and the exclamation points? That means I'm really quite annoyed.
(See the way I undid your caps? That means that we don't allow that sort of behavior here. - moderator)
Seriously, I love WordPress, but I've hated image management all along. Do you know how often I want to publish a thumbnail instead of a full-sized image? Never, that's how often. Surely MOST people MOST of the time just want the picture to go up exactly the way they uploaded it, no link or thumbnail or nothing. That's the way 90% of the images I see on blogs are handled (not counting newspaper sites). So shouldn't that be the default? Or AT LEAST shouldn't the software remember that's what I asked for last time?
Once a month, I backdoor into my host and manually delete all the stupid thumbnails, because however small they are, they just pad my backups and get in my way. Now, I've got SMALL, MEDIUM and full-size? Lovely! Twice as much crap to throw away. And it defaults to MEDIUM. Who wants this? Seriously, is anybody but Matt using this feature? Oh, and when I tell it that my picture doesn't link to anything, it actually sticks in an "a href" link to <i>nothing</i>.
I'm not exactly mama's golden coder, but I've thought about sifting through the php files and seeing if I can't turn some of this stuff off. But then I'd have to figure it out all over again every time I upgrade.
I really do love WordPress as a blogging platform, but I can't believe these bits aren't customizable. I put at least one photo in every post. A small annoyance that you bump into time after time soon builds to an all-caps-and-exclamation-points sort of annoyance.
Can somebody recommend a plugin? I hate putting code on top of code, but I don't fancy the way this trendline is headed.

Beatles' Best Album = Revolver
Speaking of being high, I was on a road trip recently and we listened to the best Beatles album Rubber Soul — don't argue! it is! — again and again.
Sorry to bring you down, Christopher, but Revolver is actually the best Beatles album (right, Sean?). Rubber Soul is fantastic, but its finest compositions can't compete with "She Said She Said," "Taxman," "And Your Bird Can Sing," "I'm Only Sleeping," "Good Day Sunshine," "I Want to Tell You," "For No One," "Love You To," "Dr. Robert," and the Beatles' best song, "Tomorrow Never Knows" (though "I'm Looking Through You" is certainly in the group's top 20).
All Music Guide's Stephen Thomas Erlewine got it right: "Revolver stands as the ultimate modern pop album and it's still as emulated as it was upon its original release."

Permalloy films have been evaporated onto glass substrates rotating with 0.05 to 450 r/m in a d.c. magnetic field. The magnetic uniaxial anisotropy was measured by using a torque magnetometer and the hysteresis loop was taken by using a 50 Hz hysteresis loop tracer. The magnetic anisotropy and the coercive forces, and , which are measured along the easy and hard axes, respectively, were obtained as a functions of the angle of ratations during deposition. The uniaxial anisotropy is found to decrease with increases in the rotating angle. No anisotropy was observed with rotating faster than π/2 r/m. The ratio , however, increase gradually for rotations beyond π r/m and becomes unity after about 5 revolution. This final state corresponds to that for the film with isotropic magnetic properties. Its hysteresis loop is quite rectangle in all directions in the film plane. A similar trend was obtained even though the ratation speed, the substrate tempertature, and the film thickness have been widely changed. These characteristics could be explained phenomenologically in terms of the postulated assumpution with the helical alignment of uniaxial anisostropy oriented through the film thickness direction.

Broadway musical 'Guys and Dolls' to be staged at WCU
Published: Sunday, February 10, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2008 at 10:32 a.m.
Stage and screen actor and director Terrence Mann will direct the University Players in a production of the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21 through 23, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24, in the performance hall of the Fine and Performing Arts Center on the campus of Western Carolina University.
With music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and script by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, Guys and Dolls is set in the 1940's New York world of gamblers and do-gooders.
The plot turns on a bet Nathan Detroit (portrayed by Anthony Giorando) makes with fellow gambler Sky Masterson (Nathan Mason) and Sky's ensuing courtship with neighborhood missionary Sarah Brown (Christy Waymouth). Bethany Rowe plays Miss Adelaide, Detroit's long-suffering fiancée.
The WCU orchestra will provide musical accompaniment for the show, whose cast of 40 is made up entirely of students.
Mann is the Carolyn Plemmons Phillips and Ben R. Phillips Distinguished Professor of Musical Theatre at WCU.
He is founding artistic director of the Carolina Arts Festival and served as artistic director of the North Carolina Theatre and North Carolina's outdoor drama The Lost Colony. Twice nominated for a Tony Award, Mann's stage credits include Rum Tum Tugger in the original Broadway cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, Inspector Javert in the original Broadway cast of Les Miserables and the Beast in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. He has acted in scores of film and television productions, including 'As the World Turns,' for which he earned an Emmy Award nomination. Guys and Dolls is his second production at WCU.
Choreographing the show is Christopher d'Amboise, whose sister Charlotte (a ballet dancer) is married to Mann. D'Amboise was principal dancer with the New York City Ballet and has choreographed more than 50 ballets, including a musical adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet that Mann directed and composed.
"It's a big advantage for our students to work with well-known personalities,'" said Bradley Martin, director of the musical theater program. '"Terrence and Christopher have an understanding of Broadway tradition, they can serve as mentors to the students, and they give the students opportunities to make other contacts, essential in the world of theater."
Treating the students as though they are professionals is the best training, Mann said. "You must arrive prepared, and you must be prepared to change. You must have razor-sharp focus, and it helps to understand the needs and wants of a director," he said. WCU's students have energy and enthusiasm that allow them to engage in the process of discovering and expressing themselves within the production, Mann said.
Tickets are on sale now and cost $5 for students, $15 for faculty and for adults 60 and older, and $20 for adults.

Up until this trip, I had overlooked Wilmot because Alpine Valley has a bigger vertical drop, and is not much farther away from me. However, I was induced to make a trip because of "Demo Day" which featured half price lift tickets, and the chance to try out different makes and models of skis compliments of the Viking Ski and Snowboard Shop. I was not expecting too much, but given the modest height of the hill, I had a surprisingly good time. Other reviewers have reported long lift lines, however, on this day there were almost none. This might have been because it was late in the season, or rain (which never came) was forecast for the afternoon. Either way, I never had to wait to get back to the top. Also, one trail, "Exhibition" was left ungroomed to let the moguls pile up. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have found the hill at all challenging, but since I love bump skiing, I had a great time. The base infrastructure seemed pretty elaborate. In addition to the cafeteria and lockers, there was a bar in the main building plus the Iron Kettle Bar and Grill next door. In the future, I might come back if I can get confirmation via the Facebook page that the moguls are there.

What do you do after the Super Bowl?
Head up town to grab a burger of course!
Last night, Diddy and Ashanti posed for pictures at Harlem's Willie Burger. The stars looked fabulous in matching fur coats—how grand for fast food! There's no word on what they ordered.
Diddy's been busy as of late. The mogul launched his new network, Revolt, just months ago. The day after the Grammys the station debuted its first show, Revolt Live.
Ashanti, is prepping to release her new album, Braveheart, in the coming weeks. She's also been sporting a sexy new bob.

Abstract"Effective, low cost and compact sulfur removal technologies are required for militaryand commercial fuel cell applications. Altex Technologies Corporation (Altex) andPennsylvania State University (PSU) have identified the Logistic Fuel Organic SulfurTrap (LFOST) concept that can remove sulfur compounds from logistic fuels at ambienttemperatures and pressures without using hydrogen or any other chemical reactant.The hydrocarbon components in logistic fuels remain intact after passing through LFOST,but the sulfur compounds are retained by selective chemical adsorption on the surface ofsolid adsorbent materials. The concept has been demonstrated at PSU on gasoline fuels.During this program, the technology will be extended to logistic fuels. The design and screeningof the adsorbent materials will be carried out at PSU, and the long-term sulfur captureand regeneration testing of an LFOST module will be carried out at Altex. Based on these tests, an LFOST system will be designed for integration into the Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) fuel cell system and the LFOST performance and cost will be projected.These activities will provide the basis for the Phase II efforts to fabricate, demonstrate and deliver the LFOST for integration into the AEF fuel cell reformer A successful development of LFOST will provide a compact and low cost deep desulfurizationtechnology that has extensive military and multiple commercial applications.

Disclosure on "Jools Holland"
Celebrating the release of their debut album, Settle, Disclosure stopped by BBC's "Later… With Jools Holland" where they performed the album track "Latch". Sam Smith accompanied the duo for the performance. Watch it above.
Check out more late night performances below.
Divine Fits on "Conan"
"Conan" audience members were treated to a performance by Divine Fits, the supergroup of Spoon's Britt Daniel, Wolf Parade/Handsome Furs' Dan Boeckner, and New Bomb Turks' Sam Brown. The band played two new songs, "Chained to Love" and "Ain't That the Way". I guess that means the supergroup's 2012 album wasn't a one-and-done.

Is a true neutral character restricted by alignment from casting a spell that is, say lawful or chaotic, or can he/she cast a spell no matter if its affected by an alignment. (A lawful character can't cast a chaotic spell and a good character can't cast an evil spell, vice versa)

Only Clerics really care
Clerics cannot cast spells of an alignment opposed to their own. A TN cleric has no opposing alignment and, as a result, can cast aligned spells freely.
Casting a spell with an alignment descriptor - like [Lawful] - counts as committing an act of that alignment, no matter what you used it for. Cast enough such spells consistently and you'll see an alignment shift take place. This is true for any character, even if they cast the spells from wands or scrolls.

TripAdvisor Inc. is profiting from wildlife exploitation
With its 2015 income reaching almost $1.5 billion, TripAdvisor Inc.'s influence on the tourism industry is immense. But it is choosing to profit from the horrific abuse of wild animals in tourist entertainment rather than help protect them.
Our investigations reveal that TripAdvisor is profiting through the sale of tickets to venues that force wild animals to entertain tourists. It sells these tickets through Viator, a travel and tour booking company it acquired in 2014.
Last year The University of Oxford reviewed 188 wildlife venues featured on TripAdvisor and found that 75% of the different types of attractions involve wildlife cruelty. TripAdvisor's Viator sells tickets for a number of these exact types of attractions. We have approached TripAdvisor on numerous occasions but they have been reluctant to work with us and are failing to take action to protect wild animals.
Sign our petition
TripAdvisor Inc. is profiting from cruelty to wild animals. Demand that they stop promoting and selling tickets to cruel wildlife tourist attractions today.
Help us tell TripAdvisor this cruelty needs to end.
Last year, nearly 175,000 of you signed our petition to tell travel company Thomas Cook Group to end their sale and promotion of elephant rides and shows. They listened and removed elephant rides and shows from their promotional materials, proving the power we can generate to move global companies together. Help us reach TripAdvisor and demand they end their support of the cruel wildlife entertainment industry.
Promoting cruelty to wildlife
It's not just TripAdvisor Inc.'s Viator sales that support cruel wildlife entertainment. TripAdvisor awards some cruel wildlife entertainment venues their Certificate of Excellence and ranks them in a Popularity Index. Their Popularity Index and Certificate of Excellence instil trust in tourists, but in many cases this trust is misplaced. TripAdvisor uses an algorithm to determine which venues to award. They have the power to change this algorithm. TripAdvisor states they are just a platform for tourists to share opinions and do not provide any form of endorsement, but their ticket sales, Popularity Index ranking and Certificate of Excellence scheme all contribute to the promotion of these cruel attractions.
TripAdvisor are continuing the sad cycle of wildlife cruelty by promoting cruel attractions. They should award positive wildlife venues instead.
"Elephants were tied to the railings, beaten with hammer like objects in the head if they didn't perform as instructed…" – TripAdvisor user review, 2015.
The tragic picture this review paints isn't a one-off. It's a reality for up to 550,000 wild animals. Elephants, lions, tigers, monkeys, dolphins and many more species are taken from their mothers when young, beaten, kept on chains or in very small enclosures.
Sign our petition above and demand TripAdvisor helps give wild animals the lives they deserve.
The future of wildlife is in TripAdvisor's hands
TripAdvisor is the world's largest travel site. A positive change at its level of the supply chain could ensure a bright, happy future for hundreds of thousands of wild animals.
Instead of promoting and profiting from cruel wildlife tourist attractions, we want to help TripAdvisor celebrate those that benefit the lives of wild animals, such as genuine sanctuaries or responsible wildlife watching venues. TripAdvisor already awards its GreenLeaders stamp of approval to eco-friendly accommodation companies. We propose they do the same for positive wildlife experiences by rewarding them with the title WildlifeLeaders.
TripAdvisor needs to help tourists make informed decisions. The WildlifeLeaders program would help end the cycle of wild animal abuse and create a cruelty-free future for tourism.
But the first step is to stop them promoting and profiting from cruelty. Sign the petition above and tell TripAdvisor to do the right thing.

I have vistied Adapt in Vietnam on three occassions in the capacity of a volunteer evaluator of the scholarship program for the most needy and at risk girls in the Mekong Delta. The program staff are dedicated to keeping the girls in school and making education process. Despite their challenging home environments, often at great distances from school, the girls are making excellent academic progress fully equal to the performance of their non-scholarship peers. More importantly, the dropout rate for ADAPT students is well below their peers and the average of dropouts across ethnic groups in the U.S. One gets the sense that the staff refuses to allow a girl to fail or quit. Where the program truly excels is aiding retunees who have been rescued or who have escaped human trafficers in Cambodia and China. The charity provides housing, healthcare access and employment training. In addition, the returnees receive counselling in a nurturing non-judgmental environment.

Having worked with this organization for over 6 years, I found it to be a preeminent model of prevention and intervention in human trafficking. Using a model of capacity building at the community level, they have developed an expert and experienced team of persons in the country who are dedicated to the prevention of the trafficking and the reintegration of trafficked women and girls back into the community. This has been accomplished by placing the majority of the financial resources into areas that directly impact the communities being served. Examples are scholarships for young girls to support their continued schooling, shelters for trafficked girls, education programs for women who have been trafficked.

I have quite a bit of information being displayed to the user in an app I am writing, however I have not found a solid working method to set the cursor to the bottom of the TextView so that they are not forced to "scroll" to get there.
Initially, there is little information being displayed, however as the user makes choices there is more and more data to display - with it being a necessity for the user to stop making inputs and scroll.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All other threads I have found revolve around setting the cursor position for EditText versus TextView.

Snyder 'Emergency Manager' Prepares To Void First Labor Contract In Michigan
The NPR affiliate in Michigan is reporting that, "for the first time, a state appointed emergency manager has permission to void a union contract in a Michigan city." Gov. Rich Snyder (R-MI) created a new "financial martial law" system that allows him to appoint managers to cities with the power to terminate collective bargaining agreements. The city of Pontiac's emergency manager is threatening to use this power for the first time and void the labor contract between the city and its police dispatcher's union.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - The committee considering Indiana interim basketball coach Mike Davis' future at the school met for more than two hours Monday without making a decision.
"Our group will gather once again, we don't know when," said university vice president Terry Clapacs, a committee member. "We are not at the end of our deliberations."
The seven-member committee, appointed Friday by Indiana president Myles Brand, gathered in Brand's office Monday for its first meeting.
Clapacs gave no indication whether Davis would be retained or whether the committee would look for a new coach.
Soderberg out as Badgers' coach
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Brad Soderberg will not keep the Wisconsin basketball job, a decision that comes four days after the Badgers were ousted in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Athletic director Pat Richter said he informed Soderberg on Monday.
Soderberg replaced Dick Bennett three games into the season. Bennett quit because he was tired of coaching and picked Soderberg to step in for him.
Richter said Monday during a news conference that "we will move forward as quickly as possible to bring someone in."
Soderberg took over as "acting coach" on Nov. 30, when Bennett announced his retirement, citing mental and physical exhaustion.
Soderberg won his first eight games, the first Wisconsin coach to do that since 1911, and was the only first-year UW coach to take the Badgers to the NCAA tournament. But they were upset by Georgia State in the first round Thursday.
Boozer cleared to play for Duke
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Injured Duke center Carlos Boozer was cleared to practice Monday and is expected to play when the Blue Devils take on UCLA in the East Regional semifinals.
How much Boozer plays in the NCAA tournament remains a question mark for the Blue Devils (31-4). But the team has done quite nicely without its third-leading scorer during one of the roughest periods of the schedule.
Top-seeded Duke is 6-0 since the 6-foot-9, 270-pound Boozer, who was averaging 14 points and 6.5 rebounds, broke a bone in his right foot in the second half against Maryland on Feb. 27.
"I don't think you can find too many teams in the last two weeks of the season can add a talent like Carlos," All-American Shane Battier said. "We're all excited to see how he's going to fit in with this team."
Coach Mike Krzyzewski said Boozer would not start Thursday against the No. 4 seeded Bruins in Philadelphia.
"If all of the sudden he comes into practice and tells Shane Battier to go take a hike, and tells Jason (Williams) to quit shooting and 'just give me the ball, I'm taking over,' we may re-evaluate that," Krzyzewski said Monday. "I don't think that's going to happen."
NCAA tournament ratings down
NEW YORK (AP) - CBS' ratings for the first four days of the NCAA basketball tournament were down 9 percent from last year, a victim in part of one-sided games and Tiger Woods.
The ratings for Thursday to Saturday totaled 5.2 with a 13 share, down from 5.7 with a 14 share a year ago and from 5.6 with a 13 share in 1999.
Six of the eight games Sunday were decided by 12 points or more. The two exceptions, Notre Dame-Mississippi and Penn State-North Carolina were in the period between 4:30 and 7 p.m. EST, when the rating was 7.1 with a 15 share.
That late period also was down from a year ago, when a game between Duke and Kansas, two of the highest profile teams in college basketball, had a 9.1
Sunday's ratings were split equally among three events.
Woods' first win on the PGA tour this season, drew a 5.3 overnight rating on NBC despite the fact that most of it was shown on tape ending at 6 p.m. EST. NASCAR on Fox, ending at the same time, did a 5.2.
The rating is the percentage of all homes with TVs, whether or not they are in use. One rating point represents about 1.01 million households.
The share is the percentage of homes with TVs in use.
Until Sunday, CBS' ratings held fairly steady.
From Thursday to Saturday, the rating was 5.1, down 4 percent from the 5.3 a year ago. The shares were the same both years - 13.

F, Marry, Kill… I can't believe I put actual time into this
(This was posted as a bulletin today… I actually sat down and gave it actual thought… which is so sad… I even wrote out a list of pros and cons… )
This was a big debate with the boys today…
if you don't know how to play these are the rules: you get 3 choices. you pick one to f. one to marry. and one to kill.
todays picks are:
Britney Spears
Cristina Aguilera
Jessica Simpson
feel free to state why..i am always interested why people chose the one to kill
Brittany Spears- Kill… you know she has put on weight since the baby so she isn't as hot, you know she has a white trash quality around her which would annoy the fuck out of you if you married her. The southern twang is annoying, and in the interviews I have seen she comes off as an idiot. She also support Bush… would could cause domestic issues. Plus she married K-fed… so she can't be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Cristina Aguilera- Marry -She is hot in a trashy way at times, but cleans up well. Actually has vocal talent, and will never get fat even after knocking out kids, she just doesn't have the frame. I don't know about the intelligence level which is the knock on jessica simpson and Brittany but I mean she married a talent rep with money that has no entertainment aspirations which is rather intelligent. Can be a little too wanna be ghetto at times… But doesn't come with the family baggage that Jessica Simpson has.
Jessica Simpson-fuck- Even though I think she might be the worst lay out of the three, being a virgin the entire time up to her marriage. She is hot, but dumb.. And has a body frame that will put on weight when she has kids, she used to be a little bit puffy but slimmed down. Her family makes it so you can't marry her… With her annoying ass parents involved in all her choices, and her fucking sister…I would have to drink to the point of black out at every holiday function. But a good roll around in the hay I could handle.
I think it is a logical choice… I wonder who has the most money out of the three? Probably B. Spears but you know K-fed has wasted it away on the finest reefer money can buy… And child support…
