Nice bag. 8/25/2014Toobs from Jersey City, New Jersey
I like that the bag was nice and spacious. This bag will be used for school by my daughter. I think the bag was worth what we paid for it. I wouldn't mind buying another Swiss Gear bag for myself. I would recommend this bag to anyone who needs extra space to store books and things.
Great backpack 8/18/2014Sean Sullivan from Flagstaff AZ
This is a very nice medium sized backpack. Very padded straps make it a pleasure to use.
Great Space 2/28/2014Sam from Seattle, WA
Although the bag from outside looks small, but has big space inside. Even when you carry your laptop, it still gives you space to put in 3 sets of clothes. And not to forget, its Swiss Gear after all, so no question of durability and quality arises. Both are great.
Good quality 12/19/2013
Compact and beautiful Xmas gift.
Great bag, Fast Shipping 9/3/2013
Great bag, fast shipping. Very pleased with product.
SwissGear® GRANITE 15.6" Computer Backpack 6/17/2013

good protection for laptop 5/13/2013

Nice looking bag 8/7/2012User X from OC Califonia
Lots of room. Rugged design. Padded compartment for laptop. Stands up (if you have enough stuff in it). Nice zipper action. You can tell the fit and finish on this is top notch. I expect this bag to last a long time.
Excellent 7/29/2012
It's very ok
Keeps the Swiss Gear Standard 6/18/2012
I have purchased three of these after hearing of rave reviews from people I know who have used the back pack. The people I gave the back packs to as gifts were very satisfied with the overall use and the weight distrabution when carrying it on the back.
Great price 6/14/2012
What a good idea! An easy and unobtrusive means of carrying a laptop. Within the main compartment is an inner padded sleeve to take a laptop so that when wearing the bag the laptop is carried against one's back. This still leaves ample room in the main compartment for other things.
Nice backpack for a 15.6" laptop 6/4/2012
For the price, you get the most bang out of this backpack!!!
Love it 6/1/2012
GReat idea !!! 5/19/2012
What a good idea! An easy and unobtrusive means of carrying a laptop. Within the main compartment is an inner padded sleeve to take a laptop so that when wearing the bag the laptop is carried against one's back. This still leaves ample room in the main compartment for other things. There is a second large compartment, and within that is a selection of smaller various size pockets to take items such as credit cards, wallet, phone, eight sections in all. A third, smaller zipped pocket, a couple of small open pockets on the sides, along with a few extra loops and toggles, complete the arrangement.
Nice backpack 5/17/2012Akash from houston TX
Its a decent backpack
Excellent traveler backpack 4/30/2012
I got this backpack to use for my freshman year in high school and it is great. It has a lot of space, pockets, etc. It fits everything i need for school and just right at that.The back of the backpack is padded so that makes it more comfortable, and it has other ways to make the load lighter. It is also great for traveling because you can put your laptop in it, put in your mp3 player in the media pocket, and be able to fit all your carry on items in it. I love it so much and i give it an A+. I recommend it for all high schoolers and travelers.
nice bag 4/17/2012
The main compartment consists of a roomy area for large books and binders. Within the main compartment, there is a sleeve for a 15.6" laptop. Even with the laptop in tow, there is still plenty of room for books and binders. Also the main compartment has a stiff padded bottom cardboard so that the bottom does not sag with the weight of books. It also prevents the backpack from tipping over when placed on the floor. The padded cardboard can be folded away so that the backpack can be stored when empty.
swissgear 4/17/2012
Next up from the center is a tall / wide zippered area without much depth. This goes the height of the pack and is handy for larger items you might want to throw in there. This would have been a good document pocket if it had a mesh area or other device to prevent papers from being crushed. It does have a pocket that can hold accessories or thin devices such as a Kindle (though it will move from side to side so a case or cover should be used).
Very nice backpack. 1/5/2012Adam from Green Bay, WI
I purchased 3 or 4 different backpacks for my daughter this year but the straps kept breaking and the zipper's teeth kept separating. I thought, isn't there a tough backpack made for rough kids with a lot of heavy books. Well I found it and it is made by Swiss Gear. Thank you for a happy daughter and no more complaining. I will look to Swiss Gear first for any future needs as they make quality products. Thank you Buy.com for an excellent product at an excellent price.
Nice Product. Meets my expectations 11/1/2011
For a long time, I have been looking for shoulder hanging laptop bag for my 14 inch HP laptop. Checked it at staples, Walmart, Amazon and Buy.com. Finally, I narrowed down to this one. Swissgear is known for the sturdy and long life products. I found this on Buy.com at a sale price which was impossible to resist. I've used this product for a while now and am in love with it.
Good 9/16/2011
Liked it...delivery was also fast....
Awesome and Value for money 9/13/2011
This a tough and comfortable bag. You dont feel the weight of the laptop that you are carrying. I am really happy after buying this bag.
Swiss Gear backpack 9/1/2011Joan from Bellevue, NE
I got this for my son, who is attending college. I am a huge fan in Swiss Gear and have decided to get rid of all of the other backpacks that I've collected through the years. This backpack was green (my son's favorite color) and looks great. The order arrived within a couple of days. My son was thrilled with the multiple compartments. The durable backpack holds his laptop, multiple books, i-pod, etc. I am very impressed and highly recomend this product. Thank you Buy.com for offering such good products at great prices and FREE shipping.
Freaky Fast Delivery 8/26/2011
I bought this three days ago and it got here way quick. I choose the economic delivery.
Product is awesome and built incredibly well. I can't believe I bought this so cheap.
Awesome swiss 7/6/2011
Amazing bag,. Perfect laptop bag n a travel bag. Can be used as a cabin bag :-)
Awesome Bag! 1/14/2011Cabernet777 from Hampton, VA
I will admit that I was using a breifcase bag before buying this and really had nowhere to go but up. However, I do love this bag. It is so easy to organize all of your neccessary supplies, doesn't contribute much to the weight of your load, and has easy open zippers with handles. This bag would be awesome for any student, highschool or college. If you're considering it enough to be reading this review, buy it. You won't regret it.
Highly comfortable bag. Like it. 12/1/2010Praveen from Jacksonville FL
Its a very good with different compartments for the laptop and all its accessories. Its a very durable bag. Very much comfortable for carrying as a back pack. Fully stuffed with soft foam over the bag for the customers comfort. I recommend this bag.
Great Bag 12/1/2010A customer from New York
Love this bag. Plenty of room for my PC and all my other gear. Very comfortable to carry, and it looks great!
love it 9/28/2010A customer from ny
its a nice laptop backpack. As most of Swissgear backpack,the texture is nice and durable. But it will be a little bit weight, since the shoulder straps are padded, you wont feel the weight.

Harry Reid had two reasons for voting no. First of all, his constituents tend to be pro-gun. However as a point of parliamentary procedure, he needed to vote on the winning side so that he can move to bring it up again.

once again this administration marches former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and puts her front and center when the Pres goes on national TV to admonish the Senators that voted against the legislation..I dont know if I am more disgusted with the admin for using and exploiting her or her husband for allowing her to be used like a stage prop for their anti gun debate...its the James Brady scenario all over again..and then they release a statement saying she is furious over the bill not passing, puhleeze...dont insult our intelligence by using someone to try and guilt the public because you didnt get your way on legislation

June 1-2, 2013 Designated as
Free Fishing Weekend in Mississippi!
On June 1-2, 2013, any person may sport fish without a fishing license or a state lake fishing or boating permit. The weekend kicks off National Fishing and Boating Week which celebrates the importance of recreational boating and fishing in enhancing quality of life and conserving our country's natural resources.
Free fishing days are a perfect opportunity to try out fishing for the first time. If you are already an angler, this is a great time to take a friend or family member who has never been fishing.
Also taking place across the state on June 1 are many free youth fishing events. To find an event near you, visit the MDWFP "Upcoming Events" calendar at mdwfp.com.
Katfishin' Kids will take place on June 1, 2013 at Turcotte Lab off Hwy 43 at Ross Barnett Reservoir, for ages 15 and under, accompanied by adults. Equipment and refreshments are FREE. Click here for details.

"That was one of the reasons. At first we had no idea why we were chosen for this. But it was because this is such a quiet place. Trust. Good people. No security. Very simple to gain access—to park a truck in a street, even at a federal building, then walk away. We were the easiest target." He shook his head. "So many children..."
Leaving Oklahoma City past the Kickapoo Casino, through Pottawatomie County and the towns of Shawnee and Tecumseh, I came to Checotah and passed a billboard, "Home of Carrie Underwood—American Idol 2005," and wondered whether billboards, like bumper stickers, suggested the inner life of a place. Farther east another billboard advised in large print: "Use the Rod on Your Child and Save Their Life."
The road through eastern Oklahoma was lined with shaggy trees and broad meadows, all the way to Arkansas. The straight, flat, fast I-40, which I'd been using, with detours, all the way from Arizona, now followed the general contour and sometimes the course of the Arkansas River, a major feeder into the Mississippi and the waterfront of Little Rock. Little Rock, the name, had been on my mind since I'd been a boy. It signified racial confrontation, the most divisive American issue of my school days. Black students exactly my age were at first kept from attending Central High when it became integrated in 1957; finally President Eisenhower sent in the 101st Airborne Division to ensure their entrance.
I drove past Central High, a lugubrious building, then headed to the Clinton Library, looking like a prettified trailer home cantilevered off the bank of the muddy river. But this riverfront, where I had lunch at the Flying Saucer café, was the liveliest part of what seemed to me a melancholy city.
All the way to Memphis I dodged the big scary trucks, and also realized that I had judged Arkansas a little too harshly, because the eastern part of the state was rich in agriculture, with plowed fields and sloping woods, as far as the Mississippi. Monumental in its size and its slowness, meandering through the middle of the great country, the river is a symbol of the life and history of the land, the "strong brown god" in the words of T. S. Eliot, who was born upstream in St. Louis.
The approach from the west, seeing Memphis grandly arranged on the bluff of the far bank, satisfied my sense of being a romantic voyeur. I found my hotel—the Peabody, famous for its resident ducks; and at the shop in its lobby I met the man who claimed to have sold Elvis his first fancy clothes. Historic Beale Street was just a few blocks away: this quarter mile of pavement, advertising itself as Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock and Roll, was also the best place to find a drink and dinner—B.B. King's restaurant and blues club or the Pig on Beale farther down the block.
By design and intention, mine was not a leisurely trip. I drove home in installments. Traveling, slapping my map and trying to make sense of the transitions, I was constantly asking people directions. I always got help without any suspicion. My rental car's New York license plates aroused friendly curiosity all over the West and the South. At first I regretted that I did not know the South better; and then I began to think of this deficit as a travel opportunity, reflecting on the South as I had once contemplated parts of Europe or Asia: the dream of traveling through what was to me not just an unknown region but one that promised hospitality.
This feeling stayed with me all the way through the rolling hills to Nashville, where over lunch in a diner, I was greeted by the people at the next table, who saw I was alone and wanted me to feel welcome. I drove north on I-65, from Nashville into Kentucky. It was a special day in Owensboro, where a local man, Specialist Timothy Adam Fulkerson, killed in action near Tikrit, Iraq, was being honored: a section of U.S. 231 was being named for him, giving this country road a deeper meaning.
Kentucky, well tended and fenced, and the soft green of its fields and hills, the sight of horses and farms, made it seem an orderly Eden, parklike—another place to return to. This part of the state was rich in classic names—Lebanon and Paris, but Athens and Versailles had been tamed into "Ay-thens" and "Ver-sails."
One of the accidental themes of this road trip was my encounters with New Americans—the Iranian at the rental agency in Los Angeles, the Chinese gamblers in Las Vegas and my Ethiopian taxi drivers; the Somalis—robed, veiled, moving in a group of nine—I encountered in a Kinko's in Arizona; the man from Eritrea in Memphis, and here in Lexington, Mohamed from Egypt, in his convenience store.

My Plan A
Sign Walace then sign as many of my own that I can to keep the any holes filled on the team until I draft their replacement.
Wallace Pitt 10-11 Million 11 million (We need a speed WR playmaker and we break the bank for this guy)
Levitte Buff 7 Million 18 million (Long I have to let walk injuries and this is replacement as I reshuffle the OL deck)
Smith Phins 8 Million 26 million (We have 2 holes at CB if this guy leaves he is still young enought and affordable enough to keep)
Starks Phins 7 Million 33 million (Guys been a playmaker for us stayed healthy. We have depth here but hate to let talent walk)
Fasano Phins 4 Million 37 million (Guys dependable and blocks where other falter. Position of need evevates his status. Good not great pass catcher.)
ClemmonPhins 3 Miillion 40 Million (Affordable until draft help arrives and fills position of need)
Bush Phins 2-3 Million 43 Million (Bush is a maybe. I want him as a playmaker, but the position and his style allow me to move in another dirrection. Still I allocate this money for another FA back even if Bush does not return.
Free agents I let walk and why Hartline WR because I signed Wallace, Long OT because I sigined Levitte, McDanniel DT because of injury concern, depth at his position and I resigned Starks, Grardner OT/G because I signed Levitte and have lots of young talent in the fold, Marshall CB because he ended on IR and I have Patterson in the fold who is a better replacement, and Moore because he probably will not want to come back.
Draft Round 1 DE (Ireland had been trying to draft one in the first round for 3 years)
Round 2 CB (This is a position of need at this point)
Round 2 TE (With all the money in Wallace we do not need to throw more resourses at the WR but we need a top TE to help the passing game)
Round 3 OT (A right tackle could still be avaibable at this point to help fill the rotation at that postion and backup John Jerry as insurance)
Round 3 LB (Linebackers are getting old and we need insurance)
Round 4 S (Still looking for Clemons replacement to groom)
Round 5 CB (Insurance and depth at a positon of need)
Round 7 QB (Taking a gamble here with Delvin and a rookie as my backups but Moore is leaving and we need 3 QB's)
Round 7 RB (Looking for that pounder and Gray may be the man but a little insurance never hurt)
Questionable move first letting Long walk but hopefully reoranizating the line will help. Martin at LT Levitte at LG Pouncy at C Incognitto at RB and John Jerry at OT might offset the absense of Long by putting players in positions on the line that they may play better at.
Questionable move not drafting a WR and instead drafting a TE. Wallace I want on the field and I would we forced to put the 2nd rounder out there also which would be OK but the TE in the 2nd round should benefit Tannehill better than Wallace and a 2nd roudn receiver. So you have Fasano/ Clay and the 2nd rounder plus Wallace, Bess in the slot and Mathew and Binns manning the other outiside postion.
Questionable letting Bush walk. (IMO neither Miller, Thomas or Bush are really in between the tackle running backs, IMO all of them play the running back position the same which while I hate to loose a playmaker with Bush I have Miller who offers that same features as Bush and Thomas who is better blocking and catching the ball out of the backfield than than running between the tackle the way he is being used and Thigpin is not a between the tackles guy either and we can only keep 4 RB on the active roster. So I
need Bushes position for that 4 between the tackle running back. My feartured backfield would be Miller/ New Guy as Thomas as both their backup and Thigpin a change of pace type guy.

NADA! Four times the ten year high in returns, highest fish counts on record, great weather, and I am stranded!
I must admit I first felt a little guilty about taking my vacation fishing to indulge as such when others are so distraught and busy digging bodies and hopefully survivors out of the rubble.
I looked into it and authorities say they are overwhelmed with people who want to help and have asked people to stop just showing up on the scene until they requests for specific skills are made to the public.
I do agree that we should not let terrorism change our way of life, but somehow it would give me more pleasure to see the relief in a survivors eyes than even to see my beloved pacific northwest salmon and steelhead this year.
As someone said if I do it in deference to the attackers and in honor of all the anglers who met a grim and unjust end, then I will feel good about it. God knows if I were in the rubble I would hope fellow Americans would fish their brains out, cause that IS freedom to me.
I hope to be there as soon as things open up. Thanks for asking buddy!
I rarely ever overhand cast.. I am sure it will overhand cast very nicely deoending on who casts it... I am a firm believer that it is the casters ability not the action of the rod that makes a rod cast well overhead.. it is a 13 foot 9 wt... I do have a little trouble with certain casts with this rod but it is me not the rod. I can spiral roll it from either side of the river and can single spey it well but with the slower casts like the snap t and double spey it tends to unload before you can fire if your timing isn't dead on.
hey Juro how is your trip out west going??? did you get out here before the airlines shut down???
I've got the 10150-4, love it for the Skagit, etc.
Is the T&T a 13 foot 9'er? You say quick, how does it do overhand casting vs. Spey casting (meaning both?)
2 spey rods for sale
I have a well used Sage 10150-4 a few nicks and scratches
this rod is 4 years old and has been fished 300? days how about 300 dollars???
I also have a T&T 1309 This is a sweet rod a bit quicker than the sage well actually a lot quicker. It is a very powerful but light rod and has landed steelhead to 17 lbs.
umm it is in similar condition to the sage. 2 guides have been hastilly rewrapped. this is a great dry line rod and handles lighter tips well. say 350 for this rod.
Both rods come with tubes and socks and I think i have both warentee cards

According to a major league source, the Red Sox [1] have reached an agreement on a minor league deal with outfielder Ryan Sweeney [2]. Sweeney, who turns 28 next month, spent 2012 with the Red Sox after being acquired from the A's in a trade along with right-hander Andrew Bailey [3] for outfielder Josh Reddick [4] and minor leaguers Miles Head and Raul Alcantara.
Sweeney hit .260 with a .303 OBP, .373 slugging mark and .675 OPS in 63 games, with his season coming to a sudden halt on July 30 when he broke his hand (requiring season-ending surgery) by punching a clubhouse door at Fenway Park [5]. However, his production diminished considerably after he suffered a concussion while making a spectacular diving catch against the Phillies. At the time of that injury, he was hitting .311/.341/.443/.784. Thereafter, he hit .183/.247/.268/.515. In parts of seven big league seasons, he owns a lifetime average of .280 with a .338 OBP, .378 slugging mark and .715 OPS.
The Red Sox elected to non-tender the arbitration-eligible Sweeney last December. However, the team maintained interest in bringing him back on a minor league deal.
The agreement occurred earlier today — at a time when it appears likely that Ryan Kalish will require shoulder surgery [6] that is likely to sideline him for months at the start of the 2013 season. Sweeney has an opt-out in the deal that would allow him to elect free agency if he is not added to the major league roster prior to the end of spring training.
UPDATE: Sweeney tweeted the following [7]:
So excited to be back with Boston! Thanks to the red sox for the opportunity to play there again. Spring training here we come.
— Ryan Sweeney (@RyanSweeney12) January 26, 2013 [7]
He later added [8]:
Don't worry redsox nation no punching doors this year #gosox [9]

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
After the breakup of Floor in 2004, Torche vocalist/guitarist Steve Brooks decided to carry on the thundering tradition of his former band, recruiting guitarist Juan Montoya (also formerly of Floor), drummer Rick Smith, and bassist Jonathan Nuñez. This lineup evolved the sonic template Brooks had created with Floor into a lush and more fully realized sound. In 2005, the Miami four-piece released their eponymous debut Torche on Robotic Empire, introducing the world to a new brand of doom/stoner metal that replaced the bleakness and despair typical of the genre with a more triumphant and anthemic sound: the heavy metal equivalent of Chariots of Fire. Combining de-tuned, droning guitars reminiscent of doom luminaries Earth and Sunn 0))) with soaring, harmonic vocals, Torche created a new take on the genre that is best described as "doom pop."
After the album's release, the band began extensive cross-country touring, sharing bills with the Sword, Mouth of the Architect, Jesu, Isis, and Mogwai. In March of 2007, Torche released a remastered version of their self-titled album featuring the bonus track "Make Me Alive." In the summer of 2007, Torche released the beautifully packaged EP In Return on Robotic Empire, featuring a jacket designed by John Baizley of Baroness. Late in 2007, the band announced that they had finished recording their second album, Meanderthal, which was released in 2008. Later that year, guitarist Juan Montoya left the band due to creative differences. The remaining members carried on a a trio, touring with bands like Harvey Milk and Coheed and Cambria. In 2010, the band released the EP Songs for Singles on Hydrahead.

Family: Ardeidae, Herons, Egrets, Bitterns view all from this family
Description ADULT Has pure white plumage; during breeding season, long back plumes trail beyond tail. At all times, legs are dark and bill is yellow. Lores are yellow for much of year but turns bluish green in breeding season. juvenile Similar to nonbreeding adult.
Dimensions Length: 35-41" (89-104 cm); Wngspn: 4' 7" (1.4 m)
Habitat Much reduced (by persecution and habitat loss) compared to, say, a century ago. Never_theless, still relatively common in wetland habitats (mainly freshwater and brackish). Resident year-round in coastal districts within its range (except in parts of West Coast), numbers boosted in winter by birds abandoning inland sites occupied from spring to fall.
Observation Tips So large and conspicuous that you should have no difficulty finding it; size and bill and leg color help separate it from superficially similar smaller species, and from white morph Great Blue Heron.
Range Texas, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, New England, Northwest, Southeast, Florida, Plains, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, California
Voice Mainly silent.
Discussion A stately, pure white, heron-like bird, appreciably larger than Snowy Egret; size and color alone are often enough to allow certain identification. Visitors to south Florida could confuse it with white morph of Great Blue Heron. Great Egret uses its daggerlike bill to good effect when capturing prey, which includes fish and the occasional aquatic mammal or bird. Sexes are similar and outside breeding season adults and immatures are not easily separable.

The debate within the Liberal Democrats on whether we should stand candidates for the Police and Crime Commissioners has been an interesting one. Not just because the principle of standing candidates is not something that usually provokes debate (although obviously some areas struggle to find enough council candidates) but because the two sides of the argument are not easy to characterise. There are people I would have thought were a dead cert in believing we should stand who are firmly against, and vice versa. This topic has been debated informally internally for several weeks, but tonight it will be discussed by the party's Federal Executive and so I decided it was time to put in my two penn'uth worth on why I believe we have to stand.
For years the Liberal Democrats have been arguing a completely different approach to law and order from the other two major parties. We've long campaigned for restorative justice (and been the people who've proved to the doubters that it can work in many of the councils we've run). We've talked for years about how prison doesn't work and is a very expensive and inefficient way of not really dealing with the problem of crime. Whilst the Police and Crime Commissioners won't have the powers to make some of the changes we would like to see in the criminal justice system these elections will see a much broader discussion on crime than just the things it can influence. If we don't stand candidates, who will argue that point of view? Yes, Ken Clarke may be supporting many of the initiatives that we have long argued for, but do we really believe that the Conservatives who have long backed sending more and more people to prison and Labour who have an illiberal record of cutting civil liberties when in office, are going to create a wide debate on where policing goes in this country? We need to stand to give people the opportunity to vote for the things that we believe in. No one else will do that. And if we don't stand we're saying that we have no opinion on this crucial debate.
Political parties are a likeminded group of people who stand for election to change the world. OK, that's a simplification, but Article One of the Liberal Democrat constitution says:
the objectives of the party shall be… to secure the election of Liberal Democrats as Members of Parliament, UK Members of the European Parliament and members of local and other elected public authorities.
Apart from the slightly nerdy constitutional point that the party would be breaching its own constitution by not standing for this 'elected public authority', it shows that standing for election is a fundamental part of what we do. If we don't stand for election we're just a pressure group and not a political party. We might not agree with Police and Crime Commissioners, but then we also don't agree with directly-elected mayors yet we still stand. Similarly, we stand under First Past The Post elections whilst supporting proportional representation. The political structures may not be the ones we want, but they're the ones that exist and if we don't stand for election we can't change them or make what they do as Liberal Democrat as possible.
Now I'm sure our opponents would say that our image has already been damaged since we went in to government, but would our image be improved any further by us not standing? At the General Election we stood candidates everywhere because it gave us credibility as a national party, and so we can hardly argue the opposite now. You only had to look at the press obsession with us having fewer council candidates in May (despite the fact that it was only marginally lower and in places where we'd always struggled) to see how obessesed they will get if we don't stand. The press line will be that we clearly are struggling, because we can't even find candidates. Instead, by standing everywhere and winning some of the contests it will, in the way that by-elections often have done, show that are still a thriving party. Our opinion poll ratings have improved from "being disastrous, to just very worrying," (as someone recently described it), and we are finally performing well in council by-elections and gaining our first seat from Labour. This feeling of improvement and growing credibility will be destroyed if we fail to stand candidates, whether that is a blanket failure to stand or picking and choosing.
One of the mantras of the party's campaigning over the years has not only been to always stand a candidate, but that doing so helps people get in to the habit of voting Liberal Democrat and it helps develop local campaigning over time. However, if in the Police and Crime Commissioner elections our supporters have to go off and find someone else to vote for, it breaks that habit and makes it harder for us to win those people back in the future. Many of us who were fighting hard at the General Election to help the party win key parliamentary target seats know how difficult it can be to persuade people to break their loyalty to a party they've always supported. This weekend I was helping do some party training in Bradford, and one of the things we talked about was how getting people to vote for you involves both breaking their allegiance to another party and then persuading them that you're the party they should now switch to. If we don't stand candidates we've already done the first half of that job for our opponents.
A third option for the party is to back independent candidates in certain areas, but my fear with this is who makes that decision. Do we run an all-member ballot or is that decision just left to the Liberal Democrat great and the good of that police authority area? I've written before about why I don't believe Liberal Democrats should ever endorse Independent candidates. But on Police and Crime Commissioners I don't see how we can ever be entirely sure that someone is genuinely a Liberal Democrat in their views without going through the party approval and selection process, which of course would mean that they were then not really independent. If there was to be no Liberal Democrat in my area I would still vote, as I believe you always should, but I wouldn't necessarily back the party's preferred candidate. And whilst I may do the research to decide which one is the more Lib Dem candidate in their views, would most of our voters really do that and can I be entirely confident in that research?
The view of party members on whether we should stand in Police and Crime Commissioner elections was made very clear in a recent poll by Liberal Democrat Voice where 57% of members were in favour. This view of the grassroots is also endorsed by ALDC whose Management Committee recently voted unanimously that we should stand candidates. But at the same time many of 'the powers that be' in the party are known to be against and the English party's executive has expressed its desire to not stand candidates (despite already starting the selection process). The decision who stands will finally come down to local areas, but the views of the party's committees are essential in making sure they endorse the process and that the candidates we have are 'official' and backed by the party's upper echelons. I hope that tonight, the Federal Executive will do the right thing and back the decision to run candidates everywhere.
Although I work for ALDC this post is written in a personal capacity.

BMWfilms.com Announces Ground-Breaking Internet Film Series Will Continue
Slated to Premiere Fall, 2002
June 7, 2002 bmwfilms.com today announced they will continue their ground-breaking Internet films series, The Hire, with three new releases in 2002.
British acting sensation Clive Owen (The Bourne Identity, Gosford Park, Croupier) will reprise his smoldering role as The Driver, the mysterious reoccurring character around whom all of the films revolve. As was the first Hire series, this new triad of films will be executive produced by David Fincher and produced by Anonymous Content and Fallon Worldwide. Directors and other talent for the films were not released. The films are underwritten by BMW.
The new films will premiere on the Internet at bmwfilms.com in the Fall. The Hire Series made international waves last year, when it featured films directed by John Frankenheimer (Ronin, Grand Prix, The Manchurian Candidate), Ang Lee (Oscar and Golden Globe winner Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Sense and Sensibility, Eat Drink Man Woman), Wong Kar-Wai (In the Mood for Love, Happy Together, Chung King Express), Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch) and Alejandro González Iñárritu (Amores Perros). The films were brilliantly cast with strong supporting characters played by: Mickey Rourke (The Pledge), Tomas Milian (Traffic), Adriana Lima (Guess model) and Madonna (actress/recording artist).
More than 13 million film views were logged in at the digital-quality streaming video website.
The Hire was an unprecedented example of media convergence that both pushed and crossed boundaries. We had no idea how successful it would be, since we were going into unchartered territory when we started the project. In the end, the project far exceeded any of our expectations, which is why were so thrilled to be working on three more films for The Hire., said Jim McDowell, Vice President of Marketing for BMW of North America, LLC.

Student treated for viral meningitis in good condition, Sept. 17
Posted September 17, 2004; 01:47 p.m.
A Princeton University student who has been diagnosed with viral meningitis -- a much less severe and dangerous illness than bacterial meningitis -- is in good condition and is being treated at the University Medical Center at Princeton.
Although viral meningitis is contagious, the risk of transmission of the illness is very low even to people who have been in close contact with the student, said Daniel Silverman, Princeton's chief medical officer. University Health Services officials have contacted campus community members who may have been in close contact with the student to offer checkups.
"We are tremendously concerned any time one of our students is hospitalized, but we are fortunate to have excellent local medical resources and the good news is that this student is doing well under the circumstances," Silverman said. "We encourage all students to pay close attention to their health and to contact us if they are experiencing anything out of the ordinary."
Viral meningitis can be spread through direct contact with respiratory secretions, saliva or nasal mucus. Most people with normally functioning immune systems will not develop meningitis even if they come in contact with the virus, Silverman said.
Meningitis is an illness in which the tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord become inflamed. Viral meningitis, the most common type, is caused by an infection with one of several types of viruses.
Common symptoms of meningitis are fever, severe headache, stiff neck, sensitivity to bright lights, drowsiness or confusion, and nausea and vomiting. Students or other campus community members who may be exhibiting any of these symptoms are encouraged to visit University Health Services or to call (609) 258-3141 with any questions.
More information about viral meningitis is available on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site .

Home › Forums › Campfire › Pre-Trip Planning › Bishop Pass South-North Lake Loop ideas
Sep 11, 2012 at 1:11 pm #1293971
I'm doing 5 days, 4 nights, starting and ending at the overnight parking along the road near Parcher's Resort. I've read the treks in Backpacking California and Sierra South relating to this loop. I have about 75 miles, I believe, total, and I'm comfortable hiking 25 miles a day(3.0-3.5mph pace) but prefer to keep them around 22 max to leave some cushion for exploring or slower pace. I fly to CA from NYC on Saturday 9/15 and start the hike on Monday morning, 9/17.
My current plan is: to spend
Night one at Dusy Basin, a short 9 mile first day with plenty of time to explore.
Night two on Darwin Bench. ~20-21 miles.
Night three at either Hutchinson Meadow or push on 5-6 miles further to Upper Golden Trout or Summit Lake below Piute Pass. ~18-23 miles.
Day 4 I'll cross Piute Pass, exit at the North Lake TH, road walk 3 miles and reenter at the Sabrina Lake TH and spend my last night at one of the many lakes in the area. Right now I'm targeting Blue Lake because it's closest, but this is where I'd appreciate any input on people's favorites. ~anywhere from 13-22 miles depending on where I spending night three and where I spend night 4.
Day 5, I walk back to the car on the side of the road at Parchers.
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.Sep 11, 2012 at 1:37 pm #1911344
How are you with hiking at elevation?Sep 11, 2012 at 4:01 pm #1911366
Not too bad, despite living on the East Coast the last 3 years. 2 years ago, I did sections of the TRT at that 24 mile a day pace and felt fine. Last year I did a Tuolumne Meadows-Vogelsang HST-Thousand Island Lakes-Lyell Canyon loop that I did about 20 miles a day. Last year wasn't as good, and I'm not sure if it was a)the higher elevation b)not training for 6 weeks prior due to a foot injury or c)poor nutrition, having tried to substitute snickers and peanut butter pretzel bites for Perpetuem mix and finding myself not able to force myself to consume enough calories. Or a combinatin of all three.
This year, I've been running 35-40 miles per week since March, I'm going back to the Perpetuem, and I'm spending my first night in Mammoth Lakes(8600') spending Sunday dayhikng to Minaret Lake, and perhaps also Iceberg and Cecil before spending another night in Mammoth Lakes, so hopefully that will help me acclimate.
I slept okay all nights last years, every camp being over 10500, so that leads me to suspect that my feeling poorly by my third day of hiking was caused more by poor eating than altitude.
Are the ascents up the passes better or worse that the ascent up the north side of Donahue, which is what did me in more than any other part?Sep 11, 2012 at 4:34 pm #1911376
Jim, sounds like you'll be fine. That said, I have been over Donahue heading south on the JMT, as well as Muir and Bishop but not Piute. Both Bishop and Muir are higher and I suspect you already know that. In terms of steepest? They're all about the same. You mentioned camping at Darwin Bench. I have been through there on my way up Lamarck Col, there is an amazing camp site along Darwin Creek that is amazing. The views are to die for. Once you gain the bench you will pass a huge boulder that looks like something out of Stonehenge. I have vowed to stay there someday. Have fun, sounds like you have it covered!Sep 11, 2012 at 4:49 pm #1911383

Summit Lake below Piute Pass is fly over country, but if push comes to shove, you can find a spot along the trail before the lake. Best to camp at the lake before or go over the pass a little and pick a spot. Envy your mileage every day. I've only done one 20+ day in my life, two years ago. Seems though that my bigger mileage days are recent with me getting close to 60 now. :) Just can not put them together on the same bp trip let alone back to back days.

If you're in that kind of shape, then you might consider simply heading out over Lamarck Col from Darwin bench. That would save you 1-2 days, which otherwise would mostly be spent below tree line. IOW, sort of anti-climatic after experiencing the true high Sierra.
Another time saver (to be used for add'l high Sierra time) would be to park your car @ N Lake and hitch to S lake. (The reason you do this at the beginning of a trip is because you'll still be all fresh & clean, thus more appealing for potential drivers.) Alternatively, check with some of the sporting goods stores (Culver's, Mac's, etc) in Bishop to get some leads on local 'non-official' shuttle services.
With your new found 'free' days, you could grab a Whitney permit (solo walk-ins are easy – especially after Labor day) and do a quick summit. If you're still feeling good, you could try a day hike (21 miles round-trip), or spend the night @ Trail camp, summit, and then walk out.Sep 11, 2012 at 8:23 pm #1911451

@mariposaLocale: Outside
Hmmm. Night 1 at Dusy Basin; night 2 at Darwin Bench. I'm hard-pressed to think of a more magnificent 20-mile section of trail in all of the Sierra.
If I rushed through that all in one day, I'd be kicking myself at trip's end for not turning it into at least 2 days. Why rush back out to Sabrina Basin when you have something even better in Day 2? Your entire trip could revolve around that 20-mile section and it would be all the more scenic.
I get it that you like to hike long miles. So do some side trips. You don't mention your interest/comfort level in x-country hiking. Between Dusy and Darwin there are so many great and famous day-hikes, it makes the head spin. People hike over Bishop Pass just to access one or more of these famous basins:
1. Day exploration of Dusy Basin (maybe done in a half-day). A photographer's dream.
2. Dayhike over Knapsack Pass into Barrett Lakes/Palisade Basin.
3. Dayhike, or overnight with full pack, into Ionian Basin via the pass just before Muir Pass (I think this is Black Giant Pass).
4. Dayhike to Davis or McGee basins from upper/middle Evolution Valley.
5. Dayhike around Darwin Basin and to the top of Alpine Col to the north of the basin, to see the view northbound towards Mt. Humphreys.
6. Ascent of any number of mountains along the way including Agassiz,
Columbine, Black Giant, Mt. Spencer, Mt. Darwin, all of which (excepting the tippy-top of Darwin) are no harder than Class 2 I believe.
On the topic of elevation: You will be slowed down a little compared to the somewhat lower and much more gentle terrain in the Donohue Pass area. Kings Canyon National Park and the southern Sierra in general are just more vertical. Who knows, you may be just fine going over a 12k pass on your first day. (My personal experience with that varies from trip to trip.) If not, there is excellent off-trail camping along the numerous gorgeous lakes between South Lake trailhead and Bishop Pass, as long as you walk at least 10 min. off-trail to find a less-abused site.
Lamarck Col is a great exit, yes, if you have basic off-trail skills (there is a use-trail covering most of the route) and if you are adapted enough to go over 13k. Indeed that route will keep you in the true alpine, compared to a Pauite Pass exit.
Great trip whichever way you slice it. You are constantly going to be picking your jaw off the ground; it is insanely more scenic than Vogelsang in Yosemite. Do you have an extra camera battery to carry?

Some ideas on your route…
Buy a hikers cabin at Parchers (about $70). And then get Christina (who works their) to give you a car shuttle to North Lake trail head before they open in the morning. (my hiking buddy and I paid her $40 for the lift).
Hike your first day over Lamarck Col and camp at one of the Darwin Lakes (the lowest two have awesome view camps). Hike around Darwin Bench, visit the lakes up toward Alpine Col/The Keyhole, and then down to spend a 2nd night at Evolution, Sapphire, or Wanda Lakes. Day 3 can make it all the way into Dusy Basin, stay at one of the lower lakes. Day 4 head over Knapsack Pass into the Palisades Lake basin. Camping at either of the Barrett Lakes is sublime. Day 5, back over Knapsack Pass and up over Bishop Pass and down to South Lake and your car. The folk at Parchers will sell you a shower.
If doing reverse. Start at South Lake and make it all the way to LeConte Canyon for day 1. Day 2 head up to Helen Lake and then over Black Giant Pass into Ionian Basin. If you can get close to Chasm Lake there are a few places to camp above that lake and close to the waterfall. Day 3 hike over Wanda Pass and up to Darwin Bench. There is a beautiful tarn right as to enter Darwin Bench that makes for a perfect night 3. Day 4 can either hike down through Evolution Valley and up to Hutchison Meadown, or hike up past the Darwin Lakes and over Lamarck Col camping at upper or lower Lamarck Lake. Day 5 you exit. (if you do it this direction, still stay at a Parchers Hikers Cabin and have Christina help you get your car to North Lake the night before you start).
And speaking of Christina…make over Samson (her very friendly dog), and ask her about the mural she is painting and any canvas she has underway.Sep 12, 2012 at 7:52 am #1911545

@hobbesatronicLocale: SoCal
Two excellent comments above. The bottom line is, don't waste your time hiking down to Hutchinson meadow, and don't waste your time in the Sabrina basin. Hitch or shuttle between the lakes, and seriously consider Lamarck as your entry/exit route.
I prefer Lamarck on the way out, because it both allows you to fully acclimate, and the mileage/logistics tend to work better (at least for me). That is, you can spend the night @ one of the Darwin lakes and head out the next day, as opposed to leaving the trail head and confronting your trip's highest point (a 13k pass) not 6 miles from the start.
The other point I made above bears repeating, in that if you're coming from out-of-state, you should consider Whitney if you have any extra time. It tends to get some abuse since the trail is so popular (especially in summer), but what seems to be lost is it might be the most spectacular part of the Sierra.
Note that Whitney is not only the tallest, but the **newest**. That means practically pure white granite rising higher, and almost more vertically than Yosemite valley, along the the entire 9 miles of canyon from Portal to crest. Because people are so focused on getting to the top, and for the most part aren't in that great of shape, they don't allow themselves to look around and take it all in.
If you're in the kind of shape you seem to be in, it's something you should seriously consider.Sep 12, 2012 at 9:24 am #1911571
All great suggestions and I'm printing out this thread to take on my lunch hour with my Harrison map to see what's doable. I should have asked this question two weeks ago so I'd have more than two evenings to plan.
I don't shoot for high mileage days, they just end up happening. Partly because I'm just more comfortable moving than I am sitting still. Also because until I get back to California(lived in SF from 2005-2009) from NYC, I have 8-10 days a year walk the Sierra and so I have to balance seeing as much as possible with doing too much and never relaxing. Side-trips and getting to know a particular area is quite appealing though, vs. just making forward progress. I do have a thing for loops though, and finishing them on foot.
As tempting as a Whitney summit is, which is something I hadn't even considered(hadn't looked at a map to see how close it was, or known I could get a permit outside the lottery), I think that'll have to wait till next years trip. At this last minute, I think it would feel too squeezed in to my existing itinerary. I'd definitely want to do an overnight, and I wouldn't have time on this trip, even with the day saved by skipping the Sabrina Basin.
I'm definitely set on exiting via Lamarck Col now. Paul Richins covers this as an alternative route in Backpacking California, but for some reason, I had it in my head that it was too difficult. But researching online, it seems that it falls within my modest xc skillset.
Right now, I'm thinking of Dusy Basin on Day One, with about 5 hours to explore, and then perhaps Ionian Basin on Day Two, via Black Giant Pass. Then I'd backtrack via Black Giant on Day Three, hit Muir Pass and spend the night on Darwin Bench. Day Four over Lamarck Col and to North Lake, where I'd pick up with my original itinerary, spending the night at one of the lakes south of Sabrina, before hiking out on Day Five. I If I end up intimidated by the xc route via Lamarck Col, or I just decide I want to spend an extra day in Dusy, Ionian or on Darwin bench, I have time to make it an out-and-back. It's good to have a lot of ideas in my head as I tend to change my mind by the moment.
Thanks for all the input, and I certainly welcome more.Sep 12, 2012 at 1:32 pm #1911667

Jim, Lamarck Col is pretty straightforward and not too dufficult. If you have questions fire awaySep 13, 2012 at 6:26 am #1911892
Casey, those pictures are great. On one hand they make me really want to go into Ionian Basin, on the other, they bring home the reality of the cross-country travel, which I understood in my head, but was still kind of lying to myself about. Based on that reality, I think I'm going to skip an overnight in Ionian Basin and focus on bagging peaks (Solomon, Black Giant, Warlow). I'll probably spend night two at Wanda Lake and then day hike up to Wanda Pass and peak down into Ionian Basin before heading to Darwin Bench for night three. That should leave time to also explore Darwin, maybe head up Alpine Col, as Elizabeth suggested.

You know the holidays have ended when you see the yellow school buses go buzzing by. Another year has rolled off the books and we are beginning a new one. We can hope to be a little smarter and wiser this year. Lots of work to be done, which in this household includes boxing up the balance of Christmas decorations. Valentines are already displayed in stores so here we go again. Happy 2008.
Happy Birthday to Gladys Randle, of Tupelo, whose birthday is tomorrow, January 12.
We were glad to learn last Sunday that Mary Alice Clark is home and planning on seeing a doctor in Birmingham in the near future for a second opinion concerning surgery.
Sarah Grubbs told us that Brother Tommy and rose Vinson had a good visit with Billy Clayton who is in a hospital in Memphis. The operation on his leg having been successfully performed. They reported him to be in good spirits.
Congratulations to Van and Lori Walls who are in the process of adopting another small boy. There was a shower for him at the Church last Sunday afternoon.
Pleas be in prayer for Truitt Pannell and family as he was scheduled for surgery this past Tuesday.
So many of you asked me on Sunday about Amanda Perrin, Katies step-granddaughter, who was so broken up after her automobile accident. I called Katie this morning (Monday) for an update and Katie told me she is scheduled for surgery on her neck this morning. They are placing a rod, screws, and grafting bone to help her neck (putting a brace on her broken back). Both lungs are bruised so badly they had to drain them. Talking about a miracle, the fact this girl is not paralyzed is one in itself. She ahs improved enough to get up and walk a little. Please keep her in your prayers, as well as her husband and six month old baby. His parents have the baby and her mother and husband are staying with her.
I developed a headache, fever and sore throat last week and didnt get to do any visiting. Maybe I can this week or next. You can see that these Christmas decorations arent weighing heavily upon my mind. We have for years had each family members name written in silver glitter on a red colored ball ornament. Now I look at them and think, Were they really here? They always come on Christmas Eve but only stay for a couple of hours or so. Then I look at two of the ornaments that read Bill and Jack and now it seems that they were with us for such a brief period of time. I had one ornament made on faith this year that read Maggie. She was here on the inside this past year, but by Gods grace she will be able to pull at the ornaments this year. There is nothing more precious than your family.

Date of stay:
Dec 21, 2015
Accommodation and facilities:
Semester, familj med äldre tonårsbarn. Vi är alla mycket nöjda, särskilt när barnen upptäckte att wi-fi i receptionen fungerade betydligt bättre än på rummet. Mycket vänlig personal, bra mat. Fria solstolar och handdukar, bra pool. Bra städning. Lugnt och mysigt hotellområde i den norra delen av Chaweng Beach. Bör passa familjer med yngre barn också. Havet utanför hotellet var tyvärr lite skräpigt när vi var där.
Reservation service:
Funkade mycket bra.

Hotel staff were amazing. Very good high level of service all round. Cleanliness of room, facilities and staff was very high. I was on my first trip abroad alone and was made to feel most welcome at all times. I will be more than happy to stay there again which i intend to do in December this year. Food selection was varied enough to cover most requirements and not once did the food cause me problems. All food was nicely presented and of good quality. If you stay here and need something just ask and they will help you out. I stayed in a basic room which was more than adequate. Enjoy your visit as i have no concerns in returning.
Reservation service:
Easy and simple to use and will do so again when returning. No problems.

Accommodation and facilities:
My family only stayed 2 nigths of 8 booked. The bungalow was injured by damp and mould. Talked to a Danish couple staying on the ground floor in the mainbuilding. Same there. Staff at reception impertinent, breakfast and food not very good. Very small pool.Small bungalow and narrow and dark between houses/mainbuilding. We fled back to our first hotel in the north of Koh Samui, leaving the deposit. CHOOSE ANOTHER HOTEL! Chaweng beach was very touristic and Koh Samui too. Not a spot without for sale / for rent north of Chaweng and of course Time Share hunting .. Different attitude from salesmen/taxidrivers and high prices compared to Phuket. Will not come back to Koh Samui. We have booked new trip next year to Bangkok, Koh Chang/Vietnam..
Reservation service:
Excellent! When looking for rooms to go back to our previous hotel it was cheaper to book by Sawadee.com than personal at the receptiondesk at the same hotel and very easy. Booked both hotels by Sawadee.com. initially. Will do so for our Thailand trip this Christmas also!

Accommodation and facilities:
Great hotel with a good location on the chaweng beach. Room was cleaned every day with new sheets and towels. Negatives: (a few) 1. pool to small for adults,perfect for kids. 2. room key activates the A/c without it the a/c shuts down. A pain when you want to keep the room cool. 3. Breakfast really good but gets boring after a while. 4. I always felt the staff mistrust me, maybe people in the past might have left without paying. Or I was paranoid. Tip: Dont loose your key, it costs 1,500 bhat to replace and change the locks. best leave it with front desk. I checked out the other hotels and yes you can find more impressive hotels on the beach front, but they cost a lot more. Samui Natien was a great hotel, with nice staff. I felt safe and secure whilst I was staying. I have already recommended the hotel to friends. ps. I nother thing i noticed the other guests tended to be couples and family units. who kept to themsulves. I like to meet new people, this was difficult here. BUt fear not you will meet other people when you go down chaweng beach and road. Have fun and enjoy! Daljit Bains aka D.J
Reservation service:
Best booking service to date, prices on the web are the prices you pay. they never ask for money up front, they will hold your request for 24 hours to give you time to think about it and you only have to put down a deposit to confirm the booking. recommend this website in a heart beat. well done sawadee Daljit Bains aka D.J

By Staff and wire reports
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — An apparent tornado hit eastern Mississippi on Thursday afternoon, killing at least one person and causing widespread damage, officials said.
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said one person died in Kemper County. The tornado hit there and in Noxubee County before moving into Alabama, damaging buildings and knocking out power Flynn said.
It was not immediately clear how many people may have been hurt or how severely they were injured. However, Tabatha Lott, a dispatcher in Noxubee County, said there were "numerous reports of injuries" in the town of Shuqualak. She said ambulances were on their way.
Jared Allen, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson, said a tornado appeared to have formed briefly in a storm approaching Hattiesburg. He said there's still a danger of strong, straight-line winds hitting the area.
Allen said there are also reports that high-voltage power lines were knocked down 5 miles south of Macon on U.S. Highway 45. Such power lines are typically built on steel trusses, he said.
"If those are taken down, then that's usually an indication of pretty strong storm," Allen said.
From the Monroe Journal …
AMORY – Amory Railroad Festival vendors are working to clean up debris after a strong storm toppled several tents in Frisco Park Thursday afternoon. Festival Chairman Bo Miller said the weather was expected to clear later in the day and tonight's entertainment would go on as scheduled.
Flash floods hit Northeast Mississippi
Rain is moving east across Northeast Mississippi this morning.
Danny Gant, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Memphis said the eastern portion of the storm is now moving east of Tupelo and residents can expect rain throughout the afternoon with isolated pockets of flash flooding.

Google's Larry Page Talks Smack About Facebook, Apple
Tiffany Kaiser
January 18, 2013 12:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Google's Larry Page
In short, he said their products could be better
It's not uncommon for rivals to bash one another, so Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page took a couple of
jabs at Facebook and Apple
in a recent interview.
In an interview with
, Page discussed how he wants Google to come up with some "moon shots," or far-out ideas such as the company's self-driving vehicles that recently achieved 30,000 accident-free miles.
However, Page also took the opportunity to throw a few insults at rivals Facebook and Apple. Google's social network, Google+, has been working to gain the amount of users that Facebook has while Google's Android operating system
competes with Apple's iOS
While Page recognizes that Facebook is a heavyweight in the social arena, he said, "They're also doing a really bad job on their products … we're actually doing something different [from Facebook]. I think it's outrageous to say that there's only space for one company in these areas."
Page may be a little sore that Google, which launched in 2011, hasn't quite lived up to the hype of it potentially being a Facebook rival. There are currently 500 million registered users on Google+ and only about 125 million are active monthly (compared to Facebook's one billion monthly active users as of October 2012).
Rather than become a Facebook rival, though, it looks more like Google+ has become a product incorporated into Google's search.
In November of last year, Google's Vice President of Product Bradley Horowitz spoke with
Business Insider
about Google+, also
taking a jab at Facebook
. Specifically, he targeted the social network's use of advertisements, where they're forced into people's news feeds. He even went as far as comparing Facebook ads to a guy with a sandwich board popping in between a father and his daughter during an important conversation.
"We don't have to make next week's payroll by jamming ads at users," said Horowitz.
In the recent
interview, Page also had something to say about Apple's product practices. While Apple is another huge player in the mobile space, Page thinks its products are limited.
"You know, we always have these debates: we have all this money, we have all these people, why aren't we doing more stuff?" said Page. "You may say that Apple only does a very, very small number of things, and that's working pretty well for them. But I find that unsatisfying."
Earlier this week, it was reported that Google's Nexus 7 tablet market share was greater in Japan than Apple's iPad. Market research firm BCN conducted a survey in Japan last December, and out of 2,400 consumer electronics stores in Japan, the iPad had 40.1 percent of the market while
Google's Nexus 7
claimed 44.4 percent.
"So far we have not seen a single Android device that does not infringe on our patents." -- Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith

text: Okay, it might sound lame, but I have to admit, my wife got me hooked on Charmed. We started watching it because a band we like was going to be on it, and we got hooked It is kind of like a semi-cheesy/Sfi-Fi/Soap Opera type show. I actually like it, (It doen't hurt that Alissya Milano is usually scantily clad, either) the acting is good (well, for the WB), and the storyline is entertaining (see Alissa Milano comment above). Does anybody else watch/like this show? If so, what are your thoughts on the show.

Thread: Red Eft Food...
Red Eft Food...
Hello!I'm helping a friend build a terrarium for his new red efts. I have the design and everything else down, except what they eat. The last time I built a terrarium was when I was little for a eastern gray tree frog I found in my yard. Unfortunately my parents did not know I had him and hiding him was becoming a pain in the butt so I released him. I was about to take the terrarium apart when I found an eft. I think I fed him worms, slugs, and grubs, but I can't remember. Thank you for for your help!2 Gallon: 1 african dwarf frog
10 Gallon: 3 cherry barbs
29 gallon: 2 platys, 3 harliquen rasboras, 2 juli cories

Deaton to present second talk in President's Lecture Series, Dec. 5
Posted November 29, 2001; 02:07 p.m.
Deaton, the Dwight Eisenhower Professor of International Affairs, will speak on "Inequality, Health and Wealth" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5, in McCosh 50.
His talk is the second in the President's Lecture Series initiated by President Shirley M. Tilghman this year to bring together faculty members from different disciplines.
Deaton will demonstrate how research shows that rich people live longer and are sick less often than poor people, and that people who live in areas where there is more income inequality die sooner than those who live where incomes are more equally distributed. He will discuss these findings, and what, if anything, should be done about them. He also will address whether economic policy is more effective than health care in improving public health.
The third and final lecture in this year's series will be presented at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7, by Stewart Smith, the Class of 1909 Professor of Physics. He will discuss "The Disappearance of Anti-Matter Following the Big Bang."
The lectures are open to anyone with a University ID card. Following each lecture, Tilghman invites a small group of faculty members to Lowrie House for dinner and further discussion.
The lectures will be simulcast on Tiger Video Channel 7 and on Princeton community cable Channel A11. They also will be Webcast; for viewing information, click here .
