'What's that machine Gwigwi Mrwebi is carrying? That's his silver alto sax which he plays like gold!'
Gwigwi's Band did several broadcasts for BBC World Service To Africa in the late 1960s: Gwigwi Mrwebi and Dudu Pukwana on alto saxophones, Ronnie Beer on tenor saxophone, Chris McGregor on piano, Coleridge Goode on double bass, and Laurie Allan on drums. Though McGregor's exclamatory introductions to each number gave the impression that the band was right there in the studio, clearly some of the music was taken straight from their LP on Doug Dobell's 77 Records — Kwela by Gwigwi's Band. This CD is a reissue of that album, pretty well impossible to find for the last thirty-plus years.
Doug Dobell started his label in the mid-1950s, naming it after the street number of the shop, and concentrating on blues, folk and traditional jazz. One of Bob Dylan's first UK releases was on 77 — on an anthology back when he called himself Blind Boy Grunt. My guess is that the only 77 release on its 'Afro' imprint (catalogue number 101) was Kwela By Gwigwi's Band.
It was recorded in January 1967, at Dennis Duerden's Transcription Centre, nearby in Covent Garden. Introduced by Dollar Brand, Maxine McGregor was working there at the time. 'Dennis was a passionate champion of African art of all kinds,' she recalls. 'The Centre was the only place in London where African writers, artists and students could meet to work, for a chat, a cup of tea. It really was a melting pot for black Africans from the different countries as there was simply nowhere else like it at the time. Writers like Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, James Ngugi, Christopher Okigbo, the sculptor Dumile, to name just a few.'
Each piece here is either by Mrwebi or Pukwana, and one or the other altoist solos on most of them. Occasionally there's a piano or tenor sax solo. They're very short versions, as though recorded for a series of 7-inch singles, and the tunes are wonderful, all in the dance style that was then captivating South Africa.
Interestingly, there is no mention of Kwela in the broadcasts: the music is always referred to as Mbaqanga. Strictly speaking, Kwela ('get moving', in Xhosa) applied to the penny whistle bands of the 1950s, like that of Spokes Mashiyane. I am guessing 77 Records chose the word Kwela for the LP title because it's a lot easier for Londoners to say than Mbaqanga. In any case, the styles are closely related, especially harmonically, with a C-F-C-G7 chord sequence showing up a lot.
Google 'Gwigwi Mrwebi' and you'll find a lot of sites promising 'safe parking on the corner of Miriam Makeba and Gwigwi Mrwebi Streets'. That's in Newtown in Johannesburg, where numerous streets have been re-named after famous South African musicians. What you will not find is much information about his life.
His first name was Ben, he was sometimes known as Bra Gwigwi. He played alto and clarinet with trumpeter Hugh Masekela and saxophonist Kippie Moeketsi in The Jazz Dazzlers, who recorded three tracks for Gallo in 1960. He spent a while in the army; he worked as a journalist for Drum magazine. He played in The Jazz Maniacs and The Harlem Swingsters. He came to the UK from Johannesburg as an actor and clarinettist in King Kong — a musical about a Zulu boxer — which opened in London in February 1961. He played Old Dan Kuswayo, the narrator, and he appears on the Gallotone LP of the original cast recording of this 'All African Jazz Opera'. He died in the USA in late 1973.
The Blue Notes — Dudu Pukwana, trumpeter Mongezi Feza, Chris McGregor, bassist Johnny Dyani and drummer Louis Moholo — came from South Africa to London in 1965: composers McGregor and Pukwana were equally outstanding in the big band setting of The Brotherhood of Breath, and a couple of the Pukwana tunes featured on Kwela were opened out by the Brotherhood — notably, Mra (bra, mate), which became an intricate set of overlapping riffs, and appears here as a great, atmospheric dance tune, with a piano vamp that evokes sixties Ethiopian music.
At home in Cape Town, tenor saxophonist Ronnie Beer had played alongside Mongezi Feza and Louis Moholo in The Swingin' City Six, and later with The Jazz Disciples. Also moving to London in 1965, he was reunited with Louis and Mongezi in The Blue Notes. Later he worked with the great free jazz drummer Sunny Murray.
Coleridge Goode took a ship from Kingston Harbour to Britain in 1934. He has lived in Ladbroke Grove since the nineteen forties. The first person to play amplified double bass on BBC Radio, he was with the (pre-Goons) Ray Ellington Quartet for a while, but is celebrated most for his work with various Joe Harriott ensembles.
Londoner Laurie Allan was a regular drummer with The Blue Notes. He vividly remembers having his left ankle in plaster for this session, but his playing here is perfect. Fans of 1970s music may recognise his name from Gong albums.
Beautiful, fabulously danceable tunes. Listen to Nyusamkhaya, and try to get it out of your head. Impossible.

Customer Reviews
I have 3 pair of 'Dr. Scholls hand stitched loafers and I love them - but I ordered Dr. Scholls shoe with the fringe and the quality was very poor and I sent them back. I ordered another pair of the hand stiltched loafer and it was exactly the same style that I had and the quality was poor. How can I be sure if I order another pair of Dr. Scholls shoes that I get the same good quality that I have with the first 3 pair. I also have 2 pair of Dr. Scholl's sandals and liked them very much.
I love, love these Dr. Scholl's shoes. I only buy his shoes. They are so comfortable; do not strain my feet even after wearing for long periods of time. and they are leather, which almost most shoes today have manmade uppers. I bought the loafer with tassel style for winter and I want these with the open sides for summer in white--I am waiting for them to go on sale. Does anyone know when this will be?
Great shoes with great support. I wear a medium width and these fit perfectly. I already own three pairs and am buying another. Highly recommended.
The size length seemed accurate but the width was tight even though I order the wide width!

Witness to Scuffle Thought Zimmerman Was Calling for Help
June 28th, 2013 | WMFE - A witness in George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial told jurors Friday he saw Trayvon Martin on top of Zimmerman during the deadly scuffle. Neighbor John Good testified Zimmerman was calling for help.
[George Zimmerman - photo by Joe Burbank, Orlando Sentinel]
Good said he went outside when he heard the tussle. He saw someone dressed in dark clothing on top of someone else in light or red clothing.
Martin wore a gray hoodie, Zimmerman a red jacket.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara asked Good to explain what he saw. Good said the teen straddled Zimmerman.
"The person who you now know to be Trayvon Martin was on top, correct?" O'Mara asked.
"Correct," Good said.
O'Mara asked if Travyon was the one "raining blows down on the person on the bottom," George Zimmerman.
"That's what it looked like," Good replied.
Good said he believes it was Zimmerman crying for help because of the position of the two people and the way the sound carried.
Prosecutors say Zimmerman profiled, followed and murdered Martin, but Zimmerman says he was attacked and fired in self defense.

"Checklists GOOD, Book Unnecessary..."
I have used checklists for many years and depend upon them for everything. I agree with everything in this book as far as it goes, but the book just gives some reasons why checklists are a good thing. They are. I was hoping for more practical aspects. For example the author mentions that updating lists is very important, but there are techniques that can help update lists effectively, which were not described. I hoped for more How-To and less Why. If you are already convinced checklists are a good idea, this listen is mostly a waste of time.
"Pleasant but not Great Dickens"
This is an early Dickens' historical novel about the anti-Catholic Gordon riots of 1780 and the doings and loves of a host of country characters. There are some great Dickens characters and moments in this novel; the raven, the villains, Hugh and his dog and, of course, Barnaby. Yet this is not Dickens best work. The novel lacks focus; it is a historical chronical, a mystery, a romance, an adventure and a parable. In each aspect it foreshadows later and better Dickens novels. The novel winds up too predictably and too cleanly. In his later works there is more focus and nuance.
The narration is quite good throughout, but the voice of Miggs was too annoying even for Miggs (an annoying housemaid). Although this is not Great Dickens, it is still Dickens, which is still quite good.
"Three Stories All Good, but Two were Repeats"
This collection contains three stories, two of which appear in different versions in other collections. The stories are Bitter End, Frame-Up for Murder (a later version of Murder is No Joke found in And Four to Go), and Assault on a Brownstone (an early version of Counterfeit for Murder found in Homicide Trinity). These were good stories, but two were repeats for me. Counterfeit for Murder is one of my favorite Wolfe stories and is better than Assault on a Brownstone. Frame-Up for Murder is a bit better than Murder is No Joke. Bitter End was quite enjoyable. I generally prefer the novels to short stories, but these are among the better Stout shorts.
"Past Imperfect"
Chase is a Koontz novella from 1972. I enjoyed the protagonist and a number of story elements, but Chase had less character development and interesting action than the many longer (and better) Koontz novels. The romantic interest (and the protagonist's only friend) is introduced quite late in the book, with little time left for development. I enjoyed what there was, but it ended far too soon, feeling truncated, and like about one-half of a really good Koontz novel. The narration is very good, clear, clean, and with subtle emotionality that enhance the story. I won't read this again, but enjoyed what it was.
"Upbeat but Limited Survey of Exponential Change"
This is an upbeat survey of a technical and very rapidly changing field. The field is changing so rapidly some of the technical information in this book was obsolete before it got published. For example there is a section on the Waze GPS mapping system. This was purchased by Google and integrated into Google Maps way back in 2013. As a survey, it provides mostly news stories (computer wins Jeopardy, etc.) and some related statistics, but very little deep thinking or analysis.
I much preferred The Singularity is Near (which is weird, but thought-provoking) and Race Against the Machine (which is very much like this book, but clearer).
The authors make a number of policy recommendations all of which seem amazingly short sighted, liberally biased, and basically ignore the authors' own primary hypothesis of an exponential inflection point in technology growth.
The authors refer to the world being at an exponential inflection point of technical change (that is, the near future is about to be significantly different than the recent past would predict) yet the authors repeatedly indicate while discussing their recommendation, we are not yet on the brink of significant change, pointing out that change in the recent past has not been all that fast. So which is it?
The authors seem largely to focus on mitigating "spread". Spread is the authors' code-word for income/wealth inequality. Interestingly, the book seems to me to have a strong liberal bias, yet it has been edited carefully so this bias is well cloaked from a casual reader.
The Authors' make a bunch of policy recommendations:
Use technology in education
MOOCs in particular
Higher teacher salaries
Increase teacher accountability
Increase hours spent in education
Encourage Entrepreneurship & Start-ups
Reduce regulation
Upgrade Infrastructure
Government support of new technologies with Programs & Prizes
Use technology to match workers to Start-ups, including foreign workers
Tax incentives for start-ups
Raise Taxes
Raise taxes on the rich and famous
Increase maximum tax rate
Increase non-worker tied corporate taxes including VAT
Increase Pigovian Taxes (taxes on pollution)
Traffic Congestion Pricing
Increase Social Support
Guaranteed Basic Income Cash or vouchers or Negative Income Tax
Government run mutual fund paying citizens
Encourage technologies which augment, rather than substitute for, human ability
Implement Made-By-Humans advertising
These policy recommendations seem largely unrelated to the technical revolution and include a lot of government control and wealth redistribution. I am somewhat dubious these are great ideas particularly if government uses the new technologies to enhance its already substantial power.
So many important questions are totally ignored by this book. Is the developed world approaching stuff saturation? If so, how will a new service and entertainment economy work? Will humans be enhanced by technology? Will there be an enhancement backlash? Will nano-technology (or AI, or some other technology) go dangerously wrong? Should we be addressing such risk now? Such questions are raised in other books like The Singularity is Near.
The narration was OK but not superb.
"Weak Start, Decent Finish"
This is a good Koontz, but far from his best work. This seems targeted to young adults more than most Koontz books, thus it is a bit less intense, has less graphic action, has adult themes greatly muted, and even less intricate prose.
This was so sweet as to severely challenge my suspension of disbelieve (which is always necessary in this genre, yet generally less so with Koontz). I don't meet many ten year old catholic black jazz prodigies that cross themselves every time they say "geeze".
The narration was quite good and augmented the story well.
I did not at all regret reading this, but I will not read it again, and would not strongly recommend it, even to young readers.
"Odd and Just OK, but a Must Read for Wolfe Buffs"
This is really two novella, Not Quite Dead Enough and Booby Trap. Both are set during WWII and Archie is a Major in the US Army. These stories both have unique twists making them a must read for any follower of Archie and Nero. These are both quite unusual Nero Wolfe stories. The stories themselves are not the best, but the odd character situation and events make these stories very well worth reading. They should not be among the first read. The narration is excellent as usual.
"A Love Letter to General Relativity"
This is quite an unusual science book, quaint and pleasant. The author's love of relativity clearly comes through in the rich writing and narration. The book contains yet another history of modern physics, but is unusual in having General Relativity as the focal point of the historical developments. This is unusual because General Relativity wasn't actually such a focal point, quantum physics and particle physics were at center stage and General Relativity was a side-player at best. Yet, this odd viewpoint is still enjoyable and interesting. This is also one of the least equation burdened book in this genre.
Unfortunately, General Relativity is not really a perfect theory. We know the theory must be wrong. The theory is non-quantum and stubbornly refuses to quantize. The book was not very thought provoking, as it praised General Relativity instead of delving into its weaknesses. Certainly it is exploring the weaknesses and assumptions of Relativity that will lead to unification.
Often books with lots of science and math don't do well in audible format. This book is not about the science or math of the theory, but instead describes the personalities and stories surrounding General Relativity. This works very well in audible format and the narration is excellent, slow, clear and even passionate.
"Great book but better in writing"
The title of this book is somewhat misleading (which the author admits). Instead it should have been "how to use math to not feel stupid when you are wrong". The author freely admits the dark truth, most people are not going to use the math they learn. Amazingly this is true even of scientists. Most of the math stuff I learned I don't need, as now I use Excel and Mathematica. Yet this book explains the part of math I do use, and many people don't realize is the important part of math, that is, to extend common sense by other means. This book includes primers of the very basics of calculus and statistics that everyone should know. The stories are humorous, interesting, and make the point that a little math can really help make good decisions.
Unfortunately, there are some parts of this book that don't translate well to audio. A table of numbers can be compared at a glance, but a bunch of spoken numbers are not easy to compare. If you wonder what good is learning math, this is a great book, but I would recommend the written version. The author's narration is quite good, with a very positive attitude that comes through.
"Two of the Best Wolfe Shorts and Two Ok"
This book contains four Nero Wolfe short stories; Christmas Party, Easter Parade, Fourth of July Picnic, and Murder Is No Joke (later expanded into the novel Frame-Up for Murder). Although I love short stories in general, I have not enjoyed the Nero Wolfe short stories as much as the novels. I really like the way Stout develops the story and characters in his novels, while his short stories often are missing something for me and generally seem rushed. Two of these four shorts were pleasurable exceptions. I really liked Christmas Party and Easter Parade. Both of these two stories had limited twists, but what they had were quite good. The other two were not bad. The narration was first-rate at usual.
"Three OK Stories, Homicide Trinity much better"
This book contains three Nero Wolfe short stories; The Gun with Wings, Bullet for One and Disguise for Murder. These are all fine short stories but none are among my favorite Nero Wolfe shorts, and I tend to like the novels substantially more than the shorts. Although these stories have a nice tone and fantastic narration, they all lack second level of surprise which allows a great Nero Wolfe short to overcome the limitation of the short story format for a mystery. These each were a simple little mystery without enough twists or intensity of characters to make the stories outstanding.
If you want a good collection of shorts as an introduction to Nero Wolfe, try Homicide Trinity, the best of the shorts in this series. Still, this collection is not at all bad and should not be avoided by an avid Nero Wolfe buff.

Day 3 of Oakley Week On FUEL TV: Eero Ettala, Sammy Carlson, Tanner Hall and Simon Dumont
Check out the behind scenes footage of Day 3 on-set with Oakley and FUEL TV.
After a few days of scattered to mostly cloudy skies, the final day of filming for the remaining two shows was given early season bluebird and only a trace of clouds. Which would be the ideal setting for four of the most outspoken and funny Oakley snow athletes – Eero Ettala, Sammy Carlson, Tanner Hall and Simon Dumont.
Eero was on set for the earliest call time all week of 10am to talk about his upcoming "Snowboard Diaries" episode where he charges urban jibs in northern Finland. Ettala an outgoing and energetic ripper who has scored opening and closing segments for Mack Dawg cracked up host Pat Parnell on several topics. One of the funnier parts was when Eero explained the difference between American and European candy. Pat then had a proper bag of German gummie bears delivered to the set for Ettala, who explained to the audience why these gummies were better then American.
Sammy Carlson joined Eero and Pat on stage to chat about his ultra successful season with four videos and the 2008 JOSS Champions Crown. Carlson and Ettala have become good buddies from their time together in Oakley Safehouse over the past four plus years. These two guys are competitive from playing pool to deciding who would gets there own room this year at Winter X Games with a thumb wrestling game, Sammy and Eero make for great television – which will air
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009.
Next up on the stage was Tanner Hall, who brought his usual "A" game of hilarious and very enthusiastic antics. Probably one the most animated and driven athletes in skiing's history, Hall talked about growing up in Montana to winning X Games gold seven times to his favorite year on snow while filming for "Believe".
Part two of the show airing on Tuesday, January 13th starred two-time Winter X Games gold medalist Simon Dumont. Simon is also the current world record air holder with a 35-foot 900 out of a custom Quarterpipe at his home mountain of Sunday River. Dumont rapped about his signature series goggles coming out in Fall 09 as well as his Pro Rider Series technical outerwear.
The final day of filming ended with perfect blue skies and smiling faces on all involved. FUEL TV, VP of Production Scott Paridon stated, "This was truly special, we cannot wait to see this air next month."
So, make sure to check out Oakley Week on The Daily Habit, January 12th – 16th airing three times each day. Check your local listings for exact times and channel.

How to Apply to College
The most crucial aspect of getting into college is, obviously, the application—so start working on it as soon as possible. Your application should accomplish all of the following: display your academic and extracurricular achievements, convey your distinguishing characteristics, and be cleanly written. Remember: those who are reading your application are reading hundreds or thousands of ones just like it. So be unique, grab attention, and always spell check.
Here's what to include and what to avoid:
Personal information
Keep it basic. Your name, email, phone number, address, and the name of your high school—or whatever else is asked for on the application. Don't leave spaces blank unless they aren't required. But ensure your information is conveyed in a professional manner. The email address, for example, should not be email@example.com. And your voicemail message should not be clever or sarcastic. Not: "Hello? What? I can't hear you. Just kidding! This is a message. Leave me one." As far as information is concerned, boring is better. Just provide exactly what's asked for.
Include any required information, like GPA. But know that here is where it pays to brag a bit. List any awards you have won in school, on the field, from a volunteer organization, any religious organizations, etc. Mention both what the award is called and who honored you by giving it. Also note what distinction the award is meant to recognize. This is especially important if the title of the award isn't self-explanatory. For example, if you were Most Valuable Player on your high school baseball team, that explains itself. But other awards might not be so crystal clear.
Extracurricular activities
Extracurricular activities are more important than they sound. They tell admissions staff who you are and how you've changed over time. Mention all clubs, societies, and community service you've been involved in. Emphasize any and all leadership positions you've held and what you accomplished at the helm. But don't leave it as a few lines on a resume. Include bullet points that convey your activities in a little more detail.
Work Experience
Work experience, even if it was just a part-time job flipping burgers, conveys an important fact to admissions staff: that you're willing to work hard. If it's relevant, you can even include under what circumstances you worked (after school or on weekends, which adds a new level of dedication) and how you used the money (to save for college, to travel abroad, to develop your skill as a photographer, or whatever else). Be sure to mention any talents you learned on the job and, again, whether you held any leadership positions. Lastly, if your work experience at all relates to your intended major (if you have one), be sure to mention that.
Unique interests that don't fall under other categories
Often in personal statements you're asked, at least in part, to describe yourself. Skip run-of-the-mill descriptions. Write only what's "definitively you"—that is, what makes you different from every other applicant. Find something. Talk about it, especially if it requires talent or has improved your academic abilities.
General things to avoid
- Buzzwords or clichés. If you describe yourself as "smart", "organized", or "hard-working" you should know that so did everyone else. Instead of listing adjectives discuss examples of how you exemplify those traits. In other words, don't write what you are. Write what you do.
- Neglecting the details. Terrible grammar, incorrect spellings, or using a semicolon when you should have used a dash—that conveys to admissions staff that you're lazy, rushed, or didn't pay attention. And those aren't good things.
The point here: pay attention, do what's asked of you, discover what makes you unique, and convey it clearly. Take your time, start your applications early, and don't miss deadlines. And if you have terrible handwriting either complete your application online or dust off a typewriter.

Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
The machine works well enough for cleaing the bathroom and kitchen, but not as well as the Roomba I also own. The major advantage is that it can get into small spaces. The battery life is not as long as the bigger machines, but it is sufficient. My complaint is with service. My Scooba stopped working within the warranty period. I called service, which kept misdiagnosing the problem, even though I repeatedly suggested that it was the battery. I ended up having to exchange the charger, robot, and finally received a new battery, which was indeed the problem. This meant a lot of phone calls and e-mails, as well as a month of not having the use of the Scooba. With a new battery, it now works fine. I-Robot should listen to the customer, the end user, in diagnosing problems.

Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
I bought this with much anticipation in 2011. It has served me well through several cleanings since then. I was really impressed! But, when it became a problem, there is very little that can be done to make it work! I understand the need for a waterproof seal. It would be nice to change parts so I could fix it myself. My only chaoice is to buy a new one. But, with the other reviews, it is like the roll of the dice!

Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
I have a Roomba that have been using it every single day for the past 2-3 years without a fail. But this model of Scooba lacks reliability, I have replaced it twice before and yet the latest one broke again with a leaky water bladder.
While iRobot has been promptly replacing them, for me is no more worth the cost of shipping it back and making the trip to post office.

Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
I have a Roomba that I love, so was so excited to get the Scooba. At first, I was thrilled with how it worked. Did a very good job on all our floors. I hate cleaning floors so was happy to have Scooba working while I was doing something else. However, within several weeks the bumper stopped working and Tech Support determined that I needed a whole new unit. I assumed it was a "lemon", but eagerly awaited my replacement. I received the replacement two weeks later, only to find that right out of the box the wheels wouldn't move. Another call to tech support revealed that they would have to send me yet another one. Having lost all faith in this product I requested a refund instead, Really disappointed it didn't hold up.

Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
Usage: small rooms, including bathroom and hardwood bedroom.
I live in Milano, Italy, and my house is not so big.
I own both a 380 scooba and now a smaller 230.
I can say the 230 is better than the 380 for smaller houses.
- in smaller spaces, no comparison: the smaller one is more agile and fast. It cleans places the bigger one wouldn't even dream of going to.
- it is true that, compared to the bigger one, the small one doesn't scrub dirt, but not even the big one _really_ scrubs and I see that the roomba+small_scooba combination is however better rooma+big_scooba combo
- the small one does NOT get stuck in its own water. The big one DOES. At least this is the behavior of my two.
in the end: 230>380.
I wish I could try the NEW big scooba. chances are it's better than the old 380, which is very bad.

Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
I purchased my Scooba 230 in April of this year from a brick and mortar store. I had read several reviews before my purchase, so I wasn't surprised by the lack-luster performance. However, I've ran the robot through a total of approximately twelve 40 minute cleaning cycles. Today, I went to fill the robot with water and discovered the active bladder has a hole in it. It is now effectively useless. I'm very dissatisfied that this robot died after less than 60 days.

Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
After cleaning my kitchen and bathroom floors once thoroughly with a mop, I have found that this product does a great job in maintaining that clean state. In fact I haven't used the mop since that first time. I also have a roomba and I alternate letting the roomba vacuum the kitchen/livingroom and bedroom/bathroom with the scooba. I turn them on before I leave; it's wonderful coming back to freshly cleaned carpets and floors.
I will concede that the unit is not a perfect cleaner, and will occasionally miss areas or leave small puddles that dry to show dirt, but on average though out the week it manages to keep the entire floor clean. Now if only they could invent one that would clean my counters...
In summary, yes you can do a better job if you really want to get down and scrub the floor yourself, but if your floor is already mostly clean, this will do a great job maintaining that clean state.
- Caught under cabinets
- Cleans poorly
- Doesn't go straight
- Doesn't holduse enough
Best Uses
Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
I own 3 Roombas, 2 dirt dogs, and an older (the larger) Scuba. In addition I have previously owned three other Roombas -- ALL (expect for the discovery) of which I think are great.
The new Scooba is awful. It never drove in a straight line. After about two uses (after the 30 day warranty) it started just spinning in circles. It takes too long to charge. It does not clean anywhere near as good as the old scuba.
I purchase it with the hope that it would get into smaller spaces around the pedastal sinks and toilets, but it now won't even move out of place. Absolutely no help from iRobot when I called/contacted them despite the fact that I am a loyal customer and purchase hundreds of dollars of supplies and typical 1+_ new robot per year. AVOID this product and buy the old Scooba.

Comments about iRobot Scooba® 230 + Essentials Kit:
Great engineering and design
Almost perfect maintenance robot
Small enough to clean bathrooms very well, and sanitize them when using the enzyme cleaning solution
Short cleaning cycle option lets you do 2 short cleanings on a charge or 1 long cleaning
Wall following works very well, and is great for staying very close around the toilet and other bathroom fixtures
Robot will still clean well with just tap water
Modular design puts all cleaning components in 1 removable and replaceable bottom plate; wheels are also easy to clean/replace
Both tanks are easy to empty and fill
No stand alone charger to allow the use of additional batteries
Can only follow walls going counter-clockwise
Can get confused and keep cleaning the same area in certain scenarios while neglecting others, largely due to the counter-clockwise only wall following and turning around when encountering a virtual wall
Should be able to follow virtual walls instead of turning around when it encounters them
No LED on the robot indicates charge status. Charge status is only on the wall power adapter's LED which means you cannot plug it into an outlet that's out of view
Overall this is a great robot, and fits the smaller room niche it's intended for very well. I would give it 4 stars if it weren't for the lack of an additional charger available. The other star is lost by the virtual wall issues, which I will elaborate on below. Actual cleaning ability gets 5 stars in my opinion. I would guess the cleaning performance of a 3xx series Scooba may be better, but to me this robot cleans very well for its small size and intention when used properly. This is my first cleaning robot and I am overall quite impressed by the technology and performance.
The biggest drawback of all is that there is not an additional charger base available. The battery life is fairly short compared to charge time, so you really only get to run it 1 or 2 times before it must charge for 4-6 hours. This problem could quite feasibly be solved by making a charger for additional batteries so you could swap in a charged battery when the previous one is exhausted. An external charger should be able to use the same adapter that the robot uses, and should also have a charge status LED on the charger itself. It would be great to have an audible indicator of fully charged on the charger and robot, or just have the green "checkbox" LED on the robot stay on when the battery is charged.
By design, this robot may not be able to clean deep recessed grout areas of floors with tiles well or much at all, and dirt could be left uncleaned in the grout area. This problem might be able to be remedied by a deep mopping first. With flat floors, I was able to get away without having to mop before starting to use the robot for the first time, though it left dust clumps all over for the first few cleanings.
A big improvement in the next revision or successor would be dual forward-facing sensors (currently just one on the right hand side) to 1: hopefully be able to judge virtual wall beam intensity in visual stereo to be able to follow the virtual walls and 2: to be able to do its wall following routine clockwise as well. A diagram of the cleaning pattern in the manual actually shows it doing clockwise wall following, which it does not do. When encountering a virtual wall, the robot usually does a few spot cleanings before it turns 180 degrees in the opposite direction and does the room crossing routine. The robot wastes a lot of time with this behavior and ends up repeatedly going back to the same areas, thus neglecting others. This is most apparent when you redefine room dimensions by creating a square with 2 of the walls being virtual. The ability to follow the virtual walls as well as it follows real walls would have been a great feature, and one I expected from them being called virtual "walls". It would also be nice for virtual walls to have a button that would project a laser to show exactly where their beam is covering. To maximize the cleaning effectiveness of larger rooms, you really need to segment them, and it would be nice to not have to estimate where the coverage of the virtual wall actually is. Also, the effective distance of the halo emitter of the virtual wall is not documented in the manual. These issues only really present themselves in larger rooms where virtual walls must be used. Cleaning of small rooms is excellent, and the virtual wall issues are not very apparent when using it as a barrier for doorway or entryway.
The wall sensor IR transmitter/receiver pair is supposedly also a firmware update port, so it would be nice to see a software update to improve the logic of dealing with virtual walls. I'm curious about how an end user would be able to perform an update, though, unless they have a laptop with an IR port. A firmware update should also be able to make one of the robot's LED's match the charger's adapter LED to indicate charge status.
Perhaps wheels with a different rubber compound will be offered in the future to address issues some people have reported of the robot slipping a lot on slick tile. It's great that they are modular and could be swapped out in a matter of seconds. This was never an issue for me and I have used the robot on linoleum, tile, and sealed wood floors.
User tips:
-Make sure to clean the bottom plate well between cleanings, including getting all dust out of the brushes, residue under the squeegy, and any debris out of the squeegy and its vacuum holes. A carefully used unfolded paper clip is great for clearing the holes.
-Make sure to open both the fill and empty ports when filling or emptying the robot.
-If the floor has gotten quite dirty since the last cleaning, sweep or use a swiffer to get the the hair, debris, and dust clumps up before running the robot.
-Use the virtual walls to segment large (or very dirty) rooms into smaller sections, especially locking the robot into high traffic areas that you know will be more dirty.
-If a physical barrier can be used instead of a virtual wall, you will get better performance vs cleaning time spent. This is very apparent when trying to use the virtual wall to define room dimensions and not just block off a small opening like a doorway.
-If you're seeing little dust clumps left behind after a cleaning, your floor is very dirty (the emptied water is probably dark gray too). Remember, this is intended as a maintenance robot. That being said, if you clean up the clumps and run it another time or two on the long cycle and monitor how dirty the emptied water is, you should have a clean floor in just a few runs. After that, the robot is able to maintain the clean level in a room very well.
-As you can read in the below review, it may be necessary to modify the robot a little to keep it from getting stuck under the edge of cabinets or appliances if their height is about the same as the robot's.
After writing this review I found a great review by Fraggboy (Google it, can't link here).

Anders Nicholson System- Model #: 9408AN
Play everything from Andrew Sisters' LPs to Katy Perry CDs with this Anders Nicholson® 3-CD AM/FM stereo with dual cassette decks & turntable! Cassettes, AM/FM radio stations, vinyl records, CDs, music from your MP3 player or smartphone. No matter what format your music is in, this Anders Nicholson® lets you enjoy it all over again. It all starts with a 3-speed turntable that plays all your old 45s and LPs - and even your grandparents old 78s! Then the fun continues with a digital AM/FM tuner, and 20-track programmable CD player with 3 CD changer. It even has an Aux jack that lets you connect your MP3 player or smartphone. Plus, it has not one, but two cassette decks that not only play all your old favorites, they let you record from the turntable, tuner, CD player or anything connected to the Aux jack. Also features bass enhancer function for thundering lows, stereo speakers and remote. 19-7/8" x 16-1/8" x 14-5/8" overall.
We're really pleased with this system. It's easy to operate and change between components, and we love having a record player and cassette player along with the CD player on the same compact system. The radio also has fairly good reception with a built in antenna. The only weakness is the quality of the speakers, which are a little weak and tinny. We were able to switch them for the speakers on our older Sony bookshelf system, and now it sounds really great. We couldn't be happier.

Crust is thick and crunchy, make Pizza Dough recipe first for focaccia crust
Fresh dough is so easy to make in no time you can have a fabulous Focaccia.
I always cook the crust first to make sure its not soggy.... then you can proceed with a simple focaccia bread as shown below without the toppings
After the crust is cooked the herbs go on the pizza with a very good imported olive oil
You will need spread evenly over the top of the crust:

Aye... there was some speculation about Ansom's bruises disappearing and moving around on his face, Charlescomm's neutrality "waivering," and a handful of other observations that turned out to be typos or the artistic equivalent thereof. Usually if it comes to the attention of Rob or the artists it ends up fixed in comic within a week or so.
Not saying that this is definitely a mistake, just that the Titans are fallible perfectionists, and, unless you really enjoy doing it, I wouldn't spend too much of my Erfworld-obsessing-energy on that detail for at least a week or two!

Well, I've explained them a lot of times before. Including, for a PvP, PbP, gestalt "Arena" set at 15th level over on RPOL.net ... with an interesting setup; rather than "any book on my list, pick and choose as you like" ... I set up individual Factions, which were basically pre-selected, limited Book Lists based on certain themes, or Settings.
So, a character built for the Eberron faction would have access to the Eberron-specific books, as well as the Psionic book (Kalashtar, natch) and Lords of Madness (whcih specifically mentions Eberron). But not to Forgotten Realms books, nor things like Magic of Incarnum, BoED/BoVD (due to Eberron having an intentionally ambiguous Alignment scenario), and so on.
Meanwhile, the Forgotten Realms characters had access to THEIR pile-of-books, but not the Eberron stuff.

Every girl needs a little something that will take her anywhere, and Oakley LBD is the "little black dress" of sunglasses. Blending the all-day comfort of lightweight O Matter® frame material with Unobtainium® components for a secure fit, LBD has a look that lets you indulge in retro glam. The semi-rectangular lenses offer extra coverage to protect your eyes, and the shape was inspired by the era when exotic locales were the playgrounds of glamorous leading ladies.
With Unobtainium nose pads and ear pads, the fit of LBD actually increases grip when you perspire, so go ahead and revel in an active lifestyle. You'll love the comfort of the Three-Point Fit, and it has the added benefit of holding the lenses in precise alignment. That's one reason why LBD meets ANSI Z80.3 optical standards, as well as Z80.3 basic impact standards. But the real impact is style.
We created LBD in multiple color options and paired each one with the perfect lens hue. You can go for the fashion flair of gradient lenses (darker at the top / lighter at the bottom) or get the performance of HDPolarized lenses that block the cruel rays of glare. And if you need corrective lenses, insist on the best: Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses. Just see your eye care professional about the prescription range and options.
Also available in: Polarized

|Carole E. Pederson, 87
|Written by TRF Times
Karlstad - Carole Pederson died on Friday, August 3, 2012 at the Karlstad Healthcare Center in Karlstad, at the age of 87 years, 6 months, and 13 days. May her memory be blessed.
The funeral for Carole will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 8 (today) at 10 a.m., at First Lutheran Church, Karlstad, with visitation from 9 to 10 a.m.. Interment will follow at Karlstad Cemetery.
Carole Elizabeth Dagen was born on Jan. 21, 1925 in Springbrook Township, to the late Reuben and Esther (Wetterlund) Dagen. Carole was born at her parents' home, with her grandmother, Sarah Dagen, in attendance. It was a stormy day, and Reuben took the horse-drawn sleigh to Karlstad to pick up Dr. John Turnbull for assistance with the delivery. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. She attended country school at District 24 through the eighth grade, and graduated from Karlstad High School in 1943.
On Oct. 25, 1944, Carole was united in marriage to Garner Pederson in a ceremony at her parents' home. In November 1944, Garner was drafted into the U.S. Navy. Following his service duty, the couple moved back to Springbrook Township, where they made their home and raised their family of four daughters and one son.
Carole enjoyed friendships made while working outside of her home. The majority of her work-life was spent at the Karlstad Memorial Hospital, Karlstad State Bank, and Engen Drug.
She was a faithful servant in her church-life, serving as superintendent of the Sunday School, Ladies Aid president, Sunday School teacher, choir member, and pianist at Oslo Lutheran Church. At First Lutheran Church, she served as a Sunday School teacher, Bible Study leader, choir member, and WELCA president.
Carole was an avid quilter, cake baker/decorator, and loved entertaining her family on any occasion. She was a very loving and proud mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She always felt and shared God's goodness through difficult times and times of celebration.
Carole is survived by four daughters: Connie (James Jarshaw) Nordin, Karlstad, Lynnda (John) McNelly, Jackson, Garnette (Dennis) Hanson, Newfolden, Diedre (Jan) Nordin, Thief River Falls; one son: Jaeden (Lorie) Pederson, West Fargo, N.D.; grandchildren: Eric (Martha) Nordin, Jed (Melanie) Nordin, Thomas (Betsy) Nordin; Renee (Tom) Andresen, Rachel (Michael) Ingebretson, Randy (Michelle) Hanson, Alan (Michelle) Hanson, Ryan (Holly) Stephenson, Chris (Andrea) Stephenson, Andriana Hanson, Britta Hanson, Kate (Cory) Anderson, Adam (Wendy) Nordin, Bailey (Sarah Haugen) Nordin; 19 great-grandchildren; one sister, Marion Hougard, Bemidji; one sister-in-law, Vernice Sandgren, Bemidji; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, two brothers, Duane Dagen and Merle Dagen; four sisters-in-law, Lucille Olson, Alice Dagen, Dorothy Miller and Adeline Ingebrigtsen; and four brothers-in-law, Harvey Pederson, Earl Hougard, Ingolf Ingebrigtsen, and Wallace Olson.

Rubio Expresses Support for Stand Your Ground
July 19th, 2013 | WMFE - U.S. Senator Marco Rubio says he supports Florida's "stand your ground" law. The Florida Republican talked with reporters Friday about the law that's been in the national spotlight during the George Zimmerman case.
Rubio said self-defense is a constitutional right.
"Every law is open for review, but I think we should be reminded that every American has a right to self-defense."
Rubio described "stand your ground" as a state issue, not a federal issue. And he criticized U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for denouncing the Florida law, which is a model for similar measures in more than 20 states.
He said Florida legislators can review the law during their next session but added they shouldn't let a single case interfere with a fundamental right.
Attorneys in Zimmerman's trial did not argue Stand Your Ground explicitly, but it was included in the jury instructions. Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter for shooting Trayvon Martin.
He says he shot the unarmed teenager in self-defense.

Amendments 5 and 6 Would Change the Way Districts are Drawn.
October 14, 2010 | FPR - Florida's 3rd Congressional District is often cited as an example of the unusual nature of the state's congressional and legislative districts. It's represented by Democratic Congresswoman Corrine Brown and stretches more than 120 miles from Jacksonville to Orlando. It's only one mile wide in some places and, by design, includes several largely African-American communities. Amendments 5 and 6 would do away with rambling districts like this one but opponents of the measures say they would hurt minority representation.
From 1871 to 1992, Florida didn't have a single black U.S. representative. That changed when Corrine Brown won a legal challenge, requiring the courts to craft 3 districts that bundled minority voters. Since then, the Jacksonville congresswoman has been unbeatable.
Nearly half the people in Brown's district are African-American, compared to just 15 % of the population statewide. But that could change if voters approve Amendments 5 and 6. The measures would require lawmakers to use geographic boundaries like rivers and city and county lines whenever possible. They would make it illegal to draw districts that favor a political party and, supporters say, would still protect minority representation. At a recent campaign event, Brown said that's impossible.
"You can't do what you're saying. You can't draw districts that don't favor one and favor the other. I mean if you read it, it's very complicated." Brown said.
She led a failed legal challenge against the amendments, saying they would dilute minority representation. Her unlikely ally was Republican State Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, who represents a largely Cuban-American district in South Florida.
"If they become the law of the land," Diaz-Balart said, "you would have numerous minority districts, both African American and Hispanic districts, in the State House, in the State Senate and in Congress where minorities have had the ability to elect candidates of their choice. That will go away."
Ellen Freiden, the campaign chair for Fair Districts Florida, disagrees. "These are incumbents who are worried about keeping their seats." Freiden says. "They draw districts that keep incumbents in office and retain the partisan domination of whatever party is in power, and that's really unfair to the voters."
Responding to Brown and Diaz-Balart's claim that the measures would hurt minority representation, Freiden points to endorsements by the Florida Conference of Black State Legislators and the NAACP. Those groups say the amendments would help minorities in the long-term by keeping local communities together. That's echoed by most state level Democrats, including former Representative John Lewis, a long-time ally of Corrine Brown who's spoken out in support of the redistricting changes.
"I know that that may be incongruous with the way things have been done in Tallahassee in the past," Lewis said "but I think that we're going to be headed more toward that, where's there's a compactness and a completeness to districts. I like it personally."
This party split makes sense to Stephen Baker. He's a political scientist at Jacksonville University. He says the current system concentrates minority districts, helping Republicans win more seats statewide.
"So you have some minority Democrats who are guaranteed a position and they tend to be most opposed to it." Baker said. "In general, however, most of the Democrats in Florida will be in favor of the proposed amendments."
Because, Baker said, it's nearly impossible for Democrats to gain power under the current system, at least for most of them.
PROGRAM NOTE: Tune in to 90.7 WMFE-FM Friday morning at 6:35 and 8:35 to learn about Amendment Eight which would loosen state requirements on public school class sizes.

Teong Kay moved to the US after graduating with a business degree. The transition to the US was difficult, arriving in the US with only thirty-five dollars in his pocket. He took entry level positions in garment factories to learn the business. Teong Kay used his business degree to express his love for fashion and design by opening several boutiques. He created two successful dress collections called Pave and St. Romei. His dress collections were sold at many exclusive boutiques as well as fine department stores including Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Ave, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Teong has fostered a passion for fine jewelry and believes a woman's look is not complete until she is accessorized with jewelry. After years of planning he decided to follow his passion and launch Charlene K jewelry collection.
A favorite among celebrity icons, Charlene K jewelry has been spotted on many of the most fashionable women in the world including Eva Longoria, Carrie Underwood, Angela Bassett, Tyra Banks, Hillary Duff, Ha ji Won, Audrina Patridge, Emanuelle Chriqui, Kyle Richards and Taylor Armstrong.

The line is sold internationally throughout Canada, Dubai, London, China, Korea, Japan, Puerto Rico, Saudi Arabia and Europe. Whether it be a gift from a loved one or a gift for herself, an investment in a Charlene K design enriches a woman's day and life.
