› Find signed collectible books: '1984'
Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmare vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life--the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language--and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Against Love: A Polemic'
Less against love than against the cultural constraints that leads us to create wrong-headed ideas of love, this is book is the perfect antidote to any lingering social guilt about being happily single. Against Love: A Polemic will both shock and irritate, especially when you find yourself nodding your head in agreement while laughing at another broken taboo. Laura Kipnis (author of Bound and Gagged, Ecstasy Unlimited) clearly enjoyed writing this; she lets her wit run rampage over classic married situations and human emotions with results that include comparing adulterers to freedom fighters (using sharpened spoons to tunnel out from under love's barbed wire fences) and referring to tearful confessions of cheating as "funny little couple rituals." These make it fun, but the iconoclastic beauty is in her questions. How did good relationships come to be considered work instead of play? Why, unlike most of history and many other modern cultures, do Americans assume love and marriage go hand-in-hand? What lead to infidelity committed by public figures becoming a source of outrage? Kipnis doesn't have answers. Although urging us to have more compassion for our own desires, she expects her readers are smart enough to supply their own in response to her ideas. That attitude itself is a treat--if you're prepared to keep up through a complex whirlwind of Freud, Marx, Gingrich, Wollstonecraft, and several generations of pop culture. Jill Lightner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Animal Farm'
Since its publication in 1946, George Orwell's fable of a workers' revolution gone wrong has rivaled Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea as the Shortest Serious Novel It's OK to Write a Book Report About. (The latter is three pages longer and less fun to read.) Fueled by Orwell's intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, Animal Farm is a nearly perfect piece of writing, both an engaging story and an allegory that actually works. When the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master and take over management of the land, all are awash in collectivist zeal. Everyone willingly works overtime, productivity soars, and for one brief, glorious season, every belly is full. The animals' Seven Commandment credo is painted in big white letters on the barn. All animals are equal. No animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in a bed, or kill a fellow four-footed creature. Those that go upon four legs or wings are friends and the two-legged are, by definition, the enemy. Too soon, however, the pigs, who have styled themselves leaders by virtue of their intelligence, succumb to the temptations of privilege and power. "We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of the farm depend on us. Day and night, we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." While this swinish brotherhood sells out the revolution, cynically editing the Seven Commandments to excuse their violence and greed, the common animals are once again left hungry and exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. Satire Animal Farm may be, but it's a stony reader who remains unmoved when the stalwart workhorse, Boxer, having given his all to his comrades, is sold to the glue factory to buy booze for the pigs. Orwell's view of Communism is bleak indeed, but given the history of the Russian people since 1917, his pessimism has an air of prophecy. --Joyce Thompson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity'
After the events of September 11, 2001, the veteran writer, filmmaker and political activist Tariq Ali has been in great demand to provide his own radical perspective on the significance of the attacks, and the result is The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity. Ali's book explores the history that preceded these events, and deals directly with the political history of Islam, its founding myths, its origins, its culture, its riches, its divisions. However, this is no dry history book, but a powerful and wide-ranging polemic that interrogates the hypocrisy of Islamist politics and religion, while also denouncing the double standards of US and UK foreign policy towards Islamic states over the last century.
The result is a remarkably broad if sometimes awkward and episodic book, that moves from Ali's idyllic childhood in Lahore, playing tennis and avoiding mullahs, via discussions of the origins of Islam, the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the status of women in Islam, to detailed critiques of the recent history of western involvement in Egypt, Palestine, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Kashmir. Ali is at his best in the later sections, attacking the Pakistani madrasas as indoctrination nurseries designed to produce fanatics, and condemning the Pakistani army as one of the Pentagon's spoilt brats in Asia. The Clash of Fundamentalisms argues that the rise of political and religious intolerance lies in the fact that all the other exit routes have been sealed off by the mother of all fundamentalisms: American imperialism. His call for "an Islamic Reformation that sweeps away the crazed conservatism and backwardness of the fundamentalists" and which "opens up the world of Islam to new ideas which are seen to be more advanced than what is currently on offer from the West" is a bold and provocative call; while some may disagree with Ali's politics or interpretation of history, there is little doubt that The Clash of Fundamentalisms is an angry but valuable response to the events that took place in the US on September 11, 2001. --Jerry Brotton [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Downsize This!'
Americans today are working harder, working longer and yet for most of us, in this time of ruthless downsizing and political cronyism, job security, a decent standard of living and a comfortable retirement are becoming harder and harder to find. In this brilliantly funny and right-on-target diatribe, irreverent everyman michael moore gives his own bold views on who's behind the fading of the american dream. Whether issuing corporate crook trading cards, organizing a rodney king commemorative riot, sending a donation to pat buchanan from the john wayne gacy fan club (which was accepted) or trying to commit former right-wing congressman bob dornan to a mental hospital, the in-your-face host of tv nation and director/star of roger & me combines an expansive wit with biting social commentary to make you think and laugh at the same time. In hardcover, downsize this! stormed the bestseller lists of the new york times, wall street journal, washington post, san francisco chronicle and others. Given michael moore's enormous -- and growing -- constituency, this trade paperback edition brings his unique perspective on the nation to an even greater audience [via]

Until now, Michael Moore has preferred to potshot at corporate America by means of film ("Roger & Me") and television ("TV Nation"). In Downsize This! he resorts to the printed page, and as usual, the results are acerbic and irresistibly amusing. Moore aims his broadsides at such deserving targets as Washington lobbyists, institutional racism, and a rogue's gallery of overcompensated CEOs. He also lets his hair down sufficiently to discuss "My Forbidden Love for Hillary Clinton," and to argue that O.J. Simpson was too stupid, rich, and unenterprising to be guilty. Righteous indignation is seldom this funny. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Dude, Where's My Country?'
The people of the United States, according to author and filmmaker Michael Moore (Bowling for Columbine, Stupid White Men), have been hoodwinked. Tricked, he says, by Republican lawmakers and their wealthy corporate pals who use a combination of concocted bogeymen and lies to stay rich and in control. But while plenty of liberal scholars, entertainers, and pundits have made similar arguments in book form, Moore's Dude, Where's My Country? stands out for its thoroughly positive perspective. Granted, Moore is angry and has harsh words for George W. Bush and his fellow conservatives concerning the reasoning behind going to war in Iraq, the collapse of Enron and other companies, and the relationship between the Bushes, the Saudi Arabian government, and Osama bin Laden. But his book is intended to serve as a handbook for how people with liberal opinions (which is most of America, Moore contends, whether they call themselves "liberals" or not) can take back their country from the conservative forces in power. Moore uses his trademark brand of confrontational, exasperated humor skillfully as he offers a primer on how to change the worldview of one's annoying conservative blowhard brother-in-law, and he crafts a surprisingly thorough "Draft Oprah for President" movement. Refreshingly, Dude, Where's My Country? avoids being completely one-sided, offering up areas where Moore believes Republicans get it right as well as some cutting criticisms of his fellow lefties. Such allowances, brief though they may be, make one long for a political climate where the shouting polemicists on both sides would see a few more shades of gray. Dude, Where's My Country? is a little bit scattered, as Moore tries to cram opinions on Iraq, tax cuts, corporate welfare, Wesley Clark, and the Patriot Act into one slim volume--and the penchant to go for a laugh sometimes gets in the way of clear arguments. But such variety also gives the reader more Moore, providing a broader range of his bewildered, enraged, yet stalwartly upbeat point of view. --John Moe [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Homage to Catalonia'
"I wonder what is the appropriate first action when you come from a country at war and set foot on peaceful soil. Mine was to rush to the tobacco-kiosk and buy as many cigars and cigarettes as I could stuff into my pockets." Most war correspondents observe wars and then tell stories about the battles, the soldiers and the civilians. George Orwell--novelist, journalist, sometime socialist--actually traded his press pass for a uniform and fought against Franco's Fascists in the Spanish Civil War during 1936 and 1937. He put his politics and his formidable conscience to the toughest tests during those days in the trenches in the Catalan section of Spain. Then, after nearly getting killed, he went back to England and wrote a gripping account of his experiences, as well as a complex analysis of the political machinations that led to the defeat of the socialist Republicans and the victory of the Fascists.

Practically alone among the American writers of his generation, wrote Edmund Wilson, [Sinclair] put to the American public the fundamental questions raised by capitalism in such a way that they could not escape them. When it was first published in 1906, The Jungle exposed the inhumane conditions of Chicagos stockyards and the laborers struggle against industry and wage slavery. It was an immediate bestseller and led to new regulations that forever changed workers rights and the meatpacking industry. A direct descendant of Dickenss Hard Times, it remains the most influential workingmans novel in American literature. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right'
Having previously dissected the factual inaccuracies of a single bellicose talk show host in Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot, Al Franken takes his fight to a larger foe: President George W. Bush, the Bush Administration, Ann Coulter, Bill OReilly, and scores of other conservatives whom, he says, are playing loose with the facts. It's a lot of ground to cover, as evidenced by the 43 chapters in Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, but the results are often entertaining and insightful. Franken occupies a unique place in the modern political dialogue as perhaps the media's only comedy writer and performer who is also a Harvard fellow as well as a liberal political commentator. This unique and vaguely lonely position lends a charming quixotic quality to adventures such as a tense encounter with the Fox News staff at the National Press Club, a challenge to fisticuffs with National Review Editor Rich Lowry, and an oddly sweet admissions visit to ultra-conservative Bob Jones University (with a young research assistant posing as his son when Franken's real-life son refuses to participate in the charade). Less useful are comic book dramatizations of "Supply Side Jesus" and a fictitious Vietnam War story featuring the numerous righties who, Franken intimates, improperly avoided service. And Franken's criticisms of conservative talk show hosts Sean Hannity, OReilly, and columnist Coulter, while admirable in their attention to detail, fail to shed much new light on people who have built careers on broad arguments and relentless self-aggrandizement. But Franken is at his best, and most compellingly readable, when he backs off the wackiness and the personal grudges and writes about more personal matters such as the political circus surrounding the memorial service of the late Senator Paul Wellstone. But even on these more serious topics, Franken's wit is still present and, in fact, grows sharper. In a time when much political discourse is composed of rage and shouting, it's refreshing that Al Franken is able to shout in a witty manner. --John Moe [via]

With a new Afterword to the 2002 edition, No Logo employs journalistic savvy and personal testament to detail the insidious practices and far-reaching effects of corporate marketing-and the powerful potential of a growing activist sect that will surely alter the course of the 21st century. First published before the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, this is an infuriating, inspiring, and altogether pioneering work of cultural criticism that investigates money, marketing, and the anti-corporate movement. As global corporations compete for the hearts and wallets of consumers who not only buy their products but willingly advertise them from head to toe-witness today's schoolbooks, superstores, sporting arenas, and brand-name synergy-a new generation has begun to battle consumerism with its own best weapons. In this provocative, well-written study, a front-line report on that battle, we learn how the Nike swoosh has changed from an athletic status-symbol to a metaphor for sweatshop labor, how teenaged McDonald's workers are risking their jobs to join the Teamsters, and how "culture jammers" utilize spray paint, computer-hacking acumen, and anti-propagandist wordplay to undercut the slogans and meanings of billboard ads (as in "Joe Chemo" for "Joe Camel"). No Logo will challenge and enlighten students of sociology, economics, popular culture, international affairs, and marketing. "This book is not another account of the power of the select group of corporate Goliaths that have gathered to form our de facto global government. Rather, it is an attempt to analyze and document the forces opposing corporate rule, and to lay out the particular set of cultural and economic conditions that made the emergence of that opposition inevitable."-Naomi Klein, from her Introduction [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies'
We live in an era where image is nearly everything, where the proliferation of brand-name culture has created, to take one hyperbolic example from Naomi Klein's No Logo, "walking, talking, life-sized Tommy [Hilfiger] dolls, mummified in fully branded Tommy worlds." Brand identities are even flourishing online, she notes--and for some retailers, perhaps best of all online: "Liberated from the real-world burdens of stores and product manufacturing, these brands are free to soar, less as the disseminators of goods or services than as collective hallucinations."
In No Logo, Klein patiently demonstrates, step by step, how brands have become ubiquitous, not just in media and on the street but increasingly in the schools as well. (The controversy over advertiser-sponsored Channel One may be old hat, but many readers will be surprised to learn about ads in school lavatories and exclusive concessions in school cafeterias.) The global companies claim to support diversity, but their version of "corporate multiculturalism" is merely intended to create more buying options for consumers. When Klein talks about how easy it is for retailers like Wal-Mart and Blockbuster to "censor" the contents of videotapes and albums, she also considers the role corporate conglomeration plays in the process. How much would one expect Paramount Pictures, for example, to protest against Blockbuster's policies, given that they're both divisions of Viacom?
Klein also looks at the workers who keep these companies running, most of whom never share in any of the great rewards. The president of Borders, when asked whether the bookstore chain could pay its clerks a "living wage," wrote that "while the concept is romantically appealing, it ignores the practicalities and realities of our business environment." Those clerks should probably just be grateful they're not stuck in an Asian sweatshop, making pennies an hour to produce Nike sneakers or other must-have fashion items. Klein also discusses at some length the tactic of hiring "permatemps" who can do most of the work and receive few, if any, benefits like health care, paid vacations, or stock options. While many workers are glad to be part of the "Free Agent Nation," observers note that, particularly in the high-tech industry, such policies make it increasingly difficult to organize workers and advocate for change.
But resistance is growing, and the backlash against the brands has set in. Street-level education programs have taught kids in the inner cities, for example, not only about Nike's abusive labor practices but about the astronomical markup in their prices. Boycotts have commenced: as one urban teen put it, "Nike, we made you. We can break you." But there's more to the revolution, as Klein optimistically recounts: "Ethical shareholders, culture jammers, street reclaimers, McUnion organizers, human-rights hacktivists, school-logo fighters and Internet corporate watchdogs are at the early stages of demanding a citizen-centered alternative to the international rule of the brands ... as global, and as capable of coordinated action, as the multinational corporations it seeks to subvert." No Logo is a comprehensive account of what the global economy has wrought and the actions taking place to thwart it. --Ron Hogan [via]

Surprisingly, this long essay about society and art and sexism is one of Woolf's most accessible works. Woolf, a major modernist writer and critic, takes us on an erudite yet conversational--and completely entertaining--walk around the history of women in writing, smoothly comparing the architecture of sentences by the likes of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, all the while lampooning the chauvinistic state of university education in the England of her day. When she concluded that to achieve their full greatness as writers women will need a solid income and a privacy, Woolf pretty much invented modern feminist criticism. [via]

Michael Moore is America's favourite thorn in the side. With his patented blend of comic provocation and serious advocacy, Moore issues his own Sorry State of the Nation address. In STUPID WHITE MEN, he provides a much-needed alternative to the steady, "let's-line-up-behind-the-President" drumbeat of today's commentators. Few have been willing to speak out with a different point of view lately - until now. Michael Moore is proud to be an American and believes that the strength of a democracy is seen by how well it insures the fullest possible discussion of the issues of the day. Starting with the farcical shenanigans surrounding the November 2000 coup - er, election - in Florida, he reviews the collection of corporate-friendly career politicians George W Bush has chosen to prop up his administration, and confronts Bush in a comic, yet thought-provoking open letter. He takes on issues as diverse as global warming, commercialism in schools, and even the continuing spectre of racism in US society. He challenges Yasser Arafat to mount a campaign of non-violent civil disobedience, challenges employers to hire only black people, even challenges the male gender to clean up its act if men are going to avoid extinction. From the hapless presidency of George W to the sloppy explosion of the tech-stock bubble to the consumer debt epidemic - from the spread of mad-cow disease to Bush's scorched-earth environmental policy - America is collapsing into a political, ethical, fianancial and physical slag heap and Moore leaves no radioactive stone unturned along the way. Entertaining and astonishing in equal measure, STUPID WHITE MEN is the latest and most powerful in Michael Moore's series of acts of satirical subversion, sure to cause controversy. [via]

Intended to serve as a handbook for people with liberal opinions to take back their country from the conservative forces in power, this book skillfully makes use of Michael Moore's trademark brand of confrontational, exasperated humor to lambast the concocted threats and lies designed by the conservative right to stay rich and in control. On these pages no one is safe from Moore's sharp-tongued critiques: corporate barons who have bilked millions out of their employees' lifetime savings, legislators who have stripped away our civil liberties in the name of "homeland security," and even the ever-present right-wing brother-in-law who manages, year after year, through his babbling idiocy, to ruin Thanksgiving dinner.
Una sarcástica y despiadada cruzada, este libro tiene una clara misión: acabar de una vez por todas con el mandato de George W. Bush, el hombre que se coló en la Casa Blanca gracias a los compinches de su papá. Moore no deja títere con cabeza a invitar al lector a ponerse manos a la obra para tratar de salvar al mundo de uno de los hombres más poderosos y nocivos del planeta. Llena de su humor característica, nadie escape de sus críticas: ni los negociantes, ni los legisladores, ni el cuñado que maneja a arruinar cada cena de familia con sus opiniones idiotas e conservadoras.

Reset Doctor helps you to deal with crashes in modern Palms. It contains:
100% Guarantee: If for any reason you don't think Reset Doctor is fantastic - I will give you a 100% refund
There is a nasty bug in the operating system of Palm Devices with the new Non-Volatile-Filing-System (NVFS).
It means that sometimes after a reset, you will lose all your settings and preferences.
Reset Doctor saves them! This means that your Alarms will still sound, your Registration codes will still work and your application preferences are safe.
If you've ever lost your preferences, you'll know how frustrating it can be. Not only do you have to restore your settings, but you can miss important alarms.
Reset Doctor backs up your preferences in the background - it will keep your preferences backed up, and even allow you to restore them a couple of times for free should you ever need to!
Other applications need their preferences to set alarms, to know you have registered and to function normally. Reset Doctor restores the preferences during the reset. This means that other applications get their preferences and can do their jobs, so you don't miss anything important!
Reset Doctor logs all resets and crashes so you can keep track of what is going wrong. Often, Reset Doctor is able to give useful information that will help you to figure out what application is causing the crash, or to give feedback on beta applications.
New Palm devices use a special memory area called the cache to actually run applications. When that gets full, the operating system is supposed to clear it out. Unfortunately, that sometimes causes crashes with applications that are accessing the data in the cache.
Reset Doctor lets you manage your cache so that there is always a set amount of cache free when an application runs. That should help applications to run smoothly and crash less.
Reset Doctor also helps you to force the cache clear more often, or on demand. This will help you when you are trying to track down applications that are crashing in the background because they don't 'understand' the cache. It also links to full instructions that will help you track down applications that are causing problems so you can either disable them, or use another application to fix them.

American Studies
The American Studies Program provides students with an interdisciplinary curriculum devoted to the examination of American civilization - its culture, institutions, intellectual tradition, and the relationships of its people - making possible a unified, comprehensive approach to American life and thought.
The great variety of institutions, subcultures, and traditions encompassed by American civilization provide a broad and fascinating field of study that has emerged in the past 50 years with America's world power status. For the past 25 years, Fairfield University has offered an undergraduate program in American Studies with an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complexities of the American experience.
American Studies is popular with students both as a major and minor, because it offers them insights into the society in which most of them grew up and where they will live and work for the rest of their lives. The flexibility of designing a program of study from a wide variety of courses is one of the most attractive aspects of this major. Because the program combines so well with other majors or minors, it offers an extra edge in moving into professional life or graduate study.
Double majors that combine American Studies with a traditional academic discipline are common. You can major in American Studies and combine it with a major or minor in history or politics in a way that enriches every aspect of your studies. The possibilities are many, and your choices add significantly to your qualifications for postgraduate careers.
The success of the program's graduates in business, law, education, and public service provides ample evidence of its place in the great tradition of liberal arts education.

Edward Mujica: The Other One Pitch Closer
Mariano Rivera is the best relief pitcher of all time, and his 20 year run of greatness has mostly been fueled by throwing one pitch. The dominance of Rivera's cut fastball has been well documented, and you likely know that when the Yankees have the lead in the 9th inning, opponents are going to see cutter after cutter after cutter.
But, now, over in St. Louis, Rivera has an odd imitator of sorts. No, the Cardinals closer is not a cutter specialist; he doesn't even throw one. Instead, Edward Mujica — the team's emergency fill-in closer with Jason Motte on the shelf — is closing out games using an endless supply of change-ups.

Why Personal Branding is Critical in the Digital Age
Research shows that it takes a fraction of a second for someone to form a first impression of you, and often that impression is accurate. When you settle on that bit of knowledge, it's unnerving. What if the impression you're leaving behind isn't the one you intended?
Is Cloud Technology the "Next Big Thing" in Healthcare?
Hands down, cloud technology is changing the IT landscape whether we're ready for it or not. The cloud offers businesses and their IT functions greater flexibility and at a more cost-effective rate, so we can expect this trend to become a mainstay, especially in health care related businesses.
National Security's Big Five
Recently, National Defense Magazine (NDM) published a report on the top five threats to national security. The threats – biological weapons, nuclear weapons, cyber attacks, climate change and transnational crime/terror – may not be surprising. The tools of the trade are available and, in some cases, relatively unsophisticated. The United States is neither immune to these threats nor so technologically superior that overcoming them can be guaranteed.
Understanding the Importance of Creating Shared Value
The CTU Distinguished Lecturer Series continues on February 14 with Dr. Ingo Böbel, a published author and scholar who has had a profound impact on industrial organization research. Dr. Böbel was recently ranked 46 by The Economist out of 250 nominations for the "BUSINESS PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR AWARD". I recently had the opportunity to gain Dr. Böbel's insight on Creating Shared Value (CSV) and its impact on the future of business.
Why Business Students Should Care About Ethics
In the early 2000s, the scandals at Enron, Arthur Anderson and WorldCom caused leading enterprises and places of higher learning to have more prominent discussions about business ethics. The late-2008 global economic meltdown added more names to the list of once reputable companies that have now become infamous: Washington Mutual and Lehman Brothers.

Later that night, Chuck shows up at Ellie's because she said he could come to her to talk. She says yeah, to start at the beginning, but doesn't ask him for some reason. As Daniel Zott starts playing "Living A Lie" (which is really, really beautiful), he tells her he feels like he's living a lie and can't compartmentalize these things anymore. He feels like he's not himself. Ellie says maybe he's moving too soon with Hannah because he's not over Sarah. He tells her this is why he doesn't come talk to her, because she's "half a spy." What? That doesn't even make sense to me, and I know Chuck's secret. Ellie apologizes and says maybe that's not it, but apparently he means that she's half a spy, so she gets it and figured it out? She's an excellent half a spy. He thanks her. Whatever.
The music continues as he shows up at the restaurant where Hannah's waiting with her parents. Sarah looks torn at Castle, and looks at Shaw. Chuck walks up and doesn't even meet her parents, just asks if they can talk for a minute. Sarah grabs her stuff and leaves Castle without a word to Shaw. Outside the restaurant, Hannah asks Chuck what's wrong, and he tells her there are things in his life she can't understand he can't explain. He says he's been dishonest and it's not fair, so he has to end this. She gets teary as he says she deserves to be with someone she can get to know completely. She goes from upset to mad and says she thought he was a nice guy. He says he is, but she says no, he's not, since they slept together last night and now he's dumping her. He tries to say it's not like that, but really, it is. I mean, how can Chuck think this is a justified course of action. And, also: WHY is he doing it? It makes no sense, other than Kristin Kreuk's episodes are up. She asks him to explain, but he says nothing. She says she's dated a lot of liars, so can usually spot them, but he's the best she's ever seen. She closes with a dagger to his heart: "I hope your lies keep you warm at night."

I Wonder Why ... ?
Why don't we in the Northwest honk our horns?
By Paula Wissel
If you live in Boston, Manhattan or Mumbai, the sounds of rush hour include the overwhelming sound of beeping and blaring car horns. But, that's not the case in the Pacific Northwest.
Honking the horn just doesn't seem to be part of our driving DNA.

My Tohatsu 6hp has been great and is running strong for nearly 2 years without any issues. The fuel economy is awesome. She starts first or second pull every time. I too was surprised by the reviews on power as it is plenty adequate for me. I have it on an inflatable rated for 7hp and it does just fine. There is some vibration but it isn't any more than other single cylinder outboards I've owned over the years. It is a fourstroker so it is a bit quieter than twostrokers in the past. ... (read more)

I just bought a 2011 6hp 4-stroke short-shaft Tohatsu outboard, and after breaking it in, wish I hadn't wasted my money. It has excessive vibration, is noisy, the steering stiffener and throttle stiffener don't work well at all, and it won't idle at slow rpm. The tiller is too short. And when you let go of the tiller, the motor immediately steers to one side -- very poor. At trolling speed, the throttle jumps up and down unexpectedly.
It was inexpensive, but when something doesn't work, it...

I suggest you read the menu throughly especially on the section regarding the steeering . I have no problem for either steering or low speed idling. But I agree that the power is not feel like a 6 but something like a 4.5, and is quite noisy and the vibration is quite obious.

We are not alone! Our new longshaft 6hp Tohatsu bought for our 25ft Tophat yacht is also a complete lemon with EXACTLY the same list of problems which could be catastrophic in tight situations. Total lack of after sales interest at local and regional level.
Written on: 02/12/2009
I'm puzzled at the statement that the 6 hp Tohatsu 4 stroke is down on power. I have a new one and it's a strong runner. It replaced a 5 hp Suzuki 2 stroke that was stolen, and I'd say the new 6 is as strong or better. It planes my 12' aluminum with ease. (read more)

I bought this motor to replace a 32 year old, still running but hard to start, 6hp Johnson Seahorse that I use as a kicker for my 23' sailboat. This motor is very similar to the Seahorse with the benefits of being lighter so easier to carry, starting every time on the second pull, being quieter ( although not as quiet as I was hoping for) and using less fuel. Note that with a boat over 3000 lbs you will need to request a prop with a lower pitch than the standard. (read more)

My 6HP Tohatsu produces less HP than the 5HP Tohatsu 2-stroke I have.
I've had good experiences with the Tohatsu/Nissan 2-strokes (3.3 and 5 HP) but am miffed about the 4-stroke 6. I can't believe it produces 6 HP. It will barely plane one person in a dinghy, something the 5HP did with ease.
Otherwise it starts reasonably easily and for a 4-stroke, it's reasonably light weight. But the power output is underwhelming.

1. | black pass | ||
A fictional possession meaning that you are black in the sense of style, attitude, pride in the black race, etc.
Basically to keep it real when you are black. But it can be considered revoked if you do otherwise. For example be black, but a Goth or Punk (musical sense) It's a common joke that then it is revoked, to turn it in at the nearest liquor sto on Martin Luther King blvd, and turn it in. Also you can do so at Roscoes Chicken & Waffles... Shaniqua went to a Marilyn Manson concert! She even wears all those chains and leather straps and stuff...
Man, her 'black pass' is REVOKED! |
2. | Black Pass | ||
The fallout from white guilt where most of society allows black people to get away with things that other races would not be allowed to get away with. This could refer to domestic abuse, disorderly conduct, abuse of handicap parking stalls, or other such offenses. If Chris Brown were a white man, he would have gone to jail for attempted murder for what he did to Rihanna, but since he's black, he gets a black pass.
If me and my friends were screaming and yelling on the bus, we would have been kicked off, but those black guys can do what they want because they have a black pass. |
3. | black pass | ||
"Black Pass" actually a combination of two words. Black, and Pass
Black - a color, actually all colors combined. Pass- a type of permit. Black Pass - A dark permit. An allowance of all things colored? I don't know.. The example shall speak for itself. As a result of the controversy, Timberlake and Jackson were banned from the 2004 Grammy Awards unless they agreed to apologize on screen at the event. Jackson, who already gave a public appology declined to issue a second one. Timberlake attended and issued a scripted apology while accepting the first of two Grammy Awards he received that night (Best Pop Vocal Album for Justified and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Cry Me A River"),causing some from the Black entertainment community to label him a "punk" and"sell out" and call for his "Black Pass" to be revoked2.

Nomad versus disciple (make me an instrument)
Nomad versus disciple
I have been traveling around the world for years, leaving footprints behind wherever I went, wherever I go & it somehow seems hard for me somehow to put my feet onto solid ground, to "settle" but the thing is and I see this so crystal clear now (thank you Sharonji, thank you Ruthji, thank you Davidji, thank you Tinaji) We have to find a solid connection to the earth and be the mountain (tadasana) be the tree and settle there, then from there our roots will grow and grow and grow and then by standing solidly & strong you will grow. Because the tree stands steady, so people can lean against it, so people can find support & refuge when needed, they can and they should, these people also provide the tree with as much water/juice to grow, to breathe, to exist. I am the tree, I am finding my connection to the earth, I am creating a space for myself and others, I inspire and get inspired, I serve and get served, I love and am loved. So I no longer feel I want to have a nomadic existence, but the life of a disciple, because I have lived the nomad life for years I have the experience, I have tools under my belt, I will use them being a disciple, an instrument. I have a place to call home, a place to ground, to connect with the earth and then from that entry point magic will arise, from that point I can travel, teach, inspire, spread my love and devotion all over the world, bring the teachings I sacredly received in the last month everywhere, because I owe it to the people (human people, animal people, tree people, beings of any kind) I owe it to the lineage, to my humble, devoted teachers and I will as a happy, uplifting, elevating, radical, shape-shifting disciple, someone who knows where to go, who has direction in her action, not like the nomad who is running away from something, but a jiva-disciple who is running TOWARDS something, towards enlightenment, toward the beings who need to be served, loved and honored, so I will be back at base soon, anchored by my gorgeous Sparky (my Jack Russell) & Charlie (godson) and then I will manifest the magic, I will start growing those roots & spread this love I have for Jivamukti, my teachers and for all beings on this beautiful planet.
Love & Inspiration to all!

The Sequences of my life
You can't arrive by not looking back by not looking forward. When I look back now at the last sequences of my life that brought me here, right where I am now, I see a pattern, I see a flow, a wave, like an ocean, an ocean of a sequences that's how I would like to see my life. Before coming to Teacher Training I thought life was more like a test, how we continuously get tested in life, but "test" to me has a negative feel to it and a sequence is not a test, a sequence is a natural reaction, a natural flow which has naturally come from the sequence before the sequence, like a wave that comes up and then rests in the water, you got to embrace the wave, feel it's rhythm and then just go with it, have a plan but be flexible in life, that's what the sequences are there for.
To recognize the flow and rhythm of the sequences of your life, you need to look back, think back a year, two years, 10 years, 20 years and then set your intention for the future, the choice is yours, but be clear, where do you want to go, open your heart and plant a few seeds in there and then just devote yourself completely to just that. My biggest struggle here especially in the first week has been questioning my arrival, questioning my own abilities, but I am here because I am meant to be here, I can't deny or question that, we should never question our destiny, we should never question our sequences, instead we need to go with the flow of the sequence, devote ourselves to every moment, go with the stream, the flow, the rhythm, the breathe of the sequence, don't be a victim, don't let "your story" effect your own growth, your abilities, your dreams, I am here, I have arrived and I can do this, as long as I flow with it and not fight against it, that's useless and a waste of energy.
When I look back at this year for example, it's all so clear, (thank you Universe for always having my back) just before "arriving" I had this thought exactly when I was getting ready for this amazing journey, how obvious and clear the pattern of the sequence was, the process was intense, painful and hard at times, but there was a teaching in all of it, I found a lot of freedom, enlightenment and liberation in all the feelings and thoughts that came with the process, as a vegan, a conscious being, a strong, spiritual warrior all I could do was give over to the process, whole heartedly. I feared not, so I broke off my relationship because it had become toxic and unhealthy, because it was messy and most of all putting me against all my ethics, values and beliefs, by doing so I found myself back completely, I learned that no matter what it's my love and lust for life, my love and devotion to all beings on this planet which will always rescue me, save me, protect me from harm, love is all you need, I just got challenged that was all and I never lost sight of who I am, what I believe in, what I stand for, where the sequence wanted me to go, so it took me to where I am now, there was a red dessert in between, where I was enabled to meet amazing, beautiful people, where I was enabled to cook vegan food from the heart, where I was enabled to meditate on the thought of moving on, to the next sequence, I feel so blessed, so honored, so grateful for all of it, every morning I wake up and every night I go to bed I thank the Universe, I thank God for the blessings & blossoms of my life, for where the sequences have taken me so far and where I am going, ready and steady for what comes next, bring it on.
Every moment is a moment that will bring and guide you to the next moment, so no matter what life the moments fully, every moment, that's the only way to grow, the only way to "become" and then to BE.

JIVAMUKTI TEACHER TRAINING/New York 2013
Teacher Training Mid Way Report
Sunday the 5th of May
Well here I am, half way into Jivamukti Teacher Training. WOW, what an adventure, to describe this experience as a whole is tricky, it really is EVERYTHING, it's challenging, confronting, hard, amazing, incredible, sensational, transforming, liberating, it really is all of that, I personally have been through SO MUCH in these two weeks, my humble and amazing teachers at Jivamukti Yoga Sydney all told me this experience was going to change me for the rest of my life, it was going to be "transforming" and oh my god, it IS. I can't describe in words how much it means to be in the presence and company of our amazing teachers and guru's Sharon Gannon, David Life and Lady Ruth; it means the world to me. Their existence, their presence has awaken me, has touched me in a way I have never been touched and everyday, every moment, every minute, every second, every breathe I embrace just that.
What has been amazing really is the particular struggles I have been battling and then the particular sutras we were taught on the day, as if the Universe knew, when battling with self doubt and "oh I am so not ready for this" thought was trying to get me down, we got taught the mantra: YOGAS CITTA VRITTI NIRODHAH. Which is all about ceasing the fluctuations of the mind so there can be Self Identity, it's so liberating to purify your heart and mind through chanting and meditation and realization. When in doubt I think of my humble teachers, my supporters, my dear friends, I owe it to them to LET GO, Nirodhah, to completely and utterly surrender to the amazing teachings of my guru's and their guru's and bring those teaching to my wide audience back home, when self doubt creeps in I go back to that room, on the 16th of February, that room full of people, that room full of love and support and I remember again why I am here, I am here because I was meant to be here, I am here because I need to be here and I need to be here NOW, so I breathe, so I stand strong and steady (stihra) like a mountain (tadasana) and I devote myself to listening, to learning, to knowing, to being, to BECOMING. There is a teaching in everything, the love I am surrounded with is overwhelming, ever flowing and energizing, it just gives me SO much. We are all in this together, we get together every night for a satsang to remember and honour just that, this brother and sisterhood, it's just so amazing, Lady Ruth my humble, beautiful amazing teacher and guru has given me the opportunity twice to give a short dharma talk to my fellow Jiva brothers and sisters and I can't tell you what an HONOUR that has been, how blessed I feel, all I want to do is inspire and encourage others and to be given that opportunity within this amazing Teacher Training Program with my incredible teachers, mentors and fellow students, well that's just ecstatic, beautiful, wonderful, it's hard to describe in words really, I wish you would have all been there for it, it was amazing!
Days are long, I get up at 5.30 every morning, do some home-work, write in my diary then I meet my Jiva brother and sister Adam and Victoria for our morning ritual, outside meditation and outside yoga session (The Magic 10) We have breakfast at 7, start class at 8am and finish 10pm at night, every day. The asana practices are intense, dynamic, sensational, last Friday we have given each other assists and sat a Mid Term Exam, too much to learn, too little time, seeds are planted and huge trees will grown from it and all the roots of these trees are connecting all over the world, it's a beautiful thing. I am so blessed to be surrounded by some AMAZING people really, Victoria Lopez such a beautiful young woman, such an inspiration, Yutta who has her own Yoga Studio in Germany: Shivas Yoga Lounge, my mentor is an angel, a warrior, a saint all in one, her love and wisdom is inspiring & being under her wings feels so safe, so secure, so steady, it's like coming HOME, Tina James, she runs her own studio in Canada and I know we are planting something pretty huge here, something amazing a connecting for life is made and I am forever grateful I have met her, she is a FORCE that woman, don't worry Australia, we will get her there…. One day and Sydney I hope you're ready for that We are having an amazing weekend, after an incredible CHAKRA CLASS by Sharon G we all got a special visit from Radhanath Swami, author of The Journey Home which was incredibly moving, touching, emotional and inspiring and then we have chanted and danced our asses of in the Spring Chanting Weekend here at Omega…. incredible.
We are all blossoming into these amazing beings, like we are becoming bigger versions of ourselves, we are all becoming ONE and everything around is is blossoming and growing with it, the trees, the flowers, the life around us, it's pretty amazing.
Together we stand, together we strive, together we derive SO MUCH from this amazing adventure, us yogi's we are radicals, we are shape shifters and that's exactly what we are, I am becoming even more the Spiritual Warrior even more the Veganator I already was.

New York New York!
I haven't blogged/posted for AGES, just been so CRAZY busy to get here…. and now i AM here!
TUESDAY 16th of April
It is amazing how i feel so instantly at home in this place, walking around the streets, getting some groceries at the co-op (all vegan) and checking out books at the ZEN BOOK STORE, after being up for 36 hours (!) i couldn't get to sleep straight away, just had to do a little stroll and check out the surroundings and i just got reminded straight away how much i love this town! I have been in NYC lots of times before but hadn't been here for about 12 years, time flies! It's so GOOD to be back! I am staying in this beautiful, cozy hotel called the Larchmont. Just about to have some food, read a book and go to bed. Love & Inspiration to you ALL!
WEDNESDAY 17th of April
After a very LONG and amazing sleep i am wide awake at 8 am today, just about to have some breakfast and start my explore some more day today, it is SO exciting to be here, as weird (and a little sad) as it felt to wake up without a Jack Russell at my feet it's so incredible to wake up in this city, the city that never sleeps, the city that i LOVE so MUCH! Travel reminds us on how we should always stay open for all, how everything is POSSIBLE, how lucky and blessed we are that we are enabled to do this. I worked my guts of the last 7 months to get here and now i am here and straight away i feel that it has been worth every effort, every step of the way, because i am HERE and before Teacher Training starts i have a few days to get amongst it all here in NYC, so i am looking forward to many many walks around town, park picnic's, co-op visits, checking out many many vegan cafe's and focusing on my practice. Just being here reminds me that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, ANYTHING CAN BE with love, devotion, determination, effort. So i would like to leave you all with a poem by Shel Silverstein and i will keep you all posted on my travels here on this blog. STAY TUNED!
Listen to the Mustn'ts,child,
Listen to the Don'ts
Listen to the Shouldn'ts
The Impossibles, the Won'ts
Listen to the Never Haves,
Then listen close to me –
Anything can happen, child,
Anything can be.
I did a 10 am OPEN class this morning at the Jivamukti Studio here in New York, INCREDIBLE! The studio here is so amazing, with a gorgeous shop and a lovely cafe attached and the best thing is it's walking distance from my hotel. After class i had a beautiful vegan soup at the Jivamuktea cafe. I bought a copy of the New York vegan guide, a MUST HAVE for me of course, this afternoon i visited the Green Farmers Markets & Union Square, amazing produce, it's a real sunny day today so just perfect stroll and markets weather, i watched chess players, an african drums &rap duo and some more buskers at Union Square Park, i am falling all over in love with this city again, i left a piece of my heart here years ago and i am certain that will happen again, there is just something so magical & special about this place, the streets, the vibe, the people! Back to the studio tomorrow for an 8 am, after that i will pack and continue my travels, i am going to stay in Brooklyn for a few days and Sunday i will catch a train to Rhinebeck, Teacher Training will start then, so a few more days of just me and you New York, just you and me baby……
THURSDAY 18th of April
I did a 8.10 am: Spiritual Warrior with Kristin this morning, such a great way to start the day! I had some breakfast in my hotel and continued my travels in this awesome awesome city which feels like HOME. I arrived in Brooklyn around 11, Jess has the best place EVER, on Starr Street in Buswick, Brooklyn, it is soooooo awesome to be here! I absolutely love this place, it's fantastic to be reunited with this woman i admire, love and adore, such power and inspiration she gives me, i studied all day and had a lovely dinner and chat with Jess at night, i befriended the cat they are fostering: Annie straight away, which is interesting as i am so a dog human, but according to this cat, i am so a cat human too, and she might have a point Much love to you all!
FRIDAY 19th of April
I woke up at 730 and played with Annie, oh how much i love this cat, she plays dog games, she can play catch forever and not get bored, so funny! I did another day of study today, done a bit at home and went to the JIvamuktea Cafe this afternoon to continue my studies, i met up with Jess at this AMAZING Sushi place: BEYOND SUSHI and after that i went to the studio to do Jess's live music class, AMAZING! The musical experience was provided by a young man called AJ check out his website HERE his face is as beautiful as his music, his spirit, his energy and excitement contagious and Jessica Stickler OMG, so good to be back on the mat with her, if i ever become half the teacher she is i know i've succeeded. She is vibrant, passionate, confident, funny, a fantastic assist, just really knows her audience and her knowledge and spiritual activism is a gift to us all. I feel so blessed and so honoured to be in her presence and it's been amazing staying with her, it's a privilege really to stay with a teacher this experienced and advanced before starting TT and besides the "teacher" she is the most amazing and inspiring woman i've met, we just get along so well, two power chicks, who live in big cities, travel the world and are devoted jivanmukta's, you can't really go wrong there, tomorrow me and Alison (Jess's housemate) and i are going to the co-op and i am cooking this household a feast, can't wait
SATURDAY 20th of April
Woke up early again, done a little bit of study and then Alison and i left to got the Parkslope Co-op, OMG! This co-op is HUGE, with about 7 aisles, 20 registers, a MASSIVE fresh produce section and just anything you can think of, unfortunately meat too, but nobody is perfect….. i couldn't believe my eyes, it really felt like an excursion, i proudly wore my ALFALFA HOUSE t-shirt and told everyone with excitement how amazed i was with this co-op, did a huge shop and gonna be cooking a lovely kale-broccolli pasta in raw cheese sauce tonight…. i wondered around the area a bit, such a lovely place! I had a chat with Richard in one of the community gardens and had this incredible brunch at V-SPOT. Alison took me to this screening of a documentary

Christian the Lion
So as a vegan i always and by that i mean ALWAYS get asked the same old question, why am i vegan? Now i have many answers to that but here is a really simple one, click on this link and you know why, look at the picture attached to this blog and you know why, because us humans think we need to make this separation between humans and animals, as if what they feel, need, love and experience is so much different, it is not, have a look at this amazing lion called Christian, see what a heart he has and how much love he has for the men who raised him, for the men who decided to get him out of captivity and into the wild.
Christian the Lion, you are an inspiration to us all!
Christian the Lion Short clip CLICK HERE:
Christian the Lion FULL DOCO HERE:
Love is everything, love is all, love is what connects us all, love is what keeps us together, love is the ultimate drive of life. Love is something so whole, so pure, so healing, we underestimate the importance of love, that love really is the Higher Self, love really is the core of being. Love to me is sacred, love to me is why I get out of bed everyday, love for my life, for my partner, for my gorgeous dog, for my beautiful friends and the people around me, love for my godson, love for all beings, love for what I do, for who I am, it's love that has taken me to places I never thought I'd end up in, love opened and closed doors for me, this year which is ending very soon, love has showed me the way, it was love that got me on that ship, it was love that got me off that ship, it was love that got me back on track and on the mat, it was a love so pure & divine I found through my spiritual practice (thank you Jivamukti) it was love I found with my beautiful boyfriend, who really showed me what love really means, he is such a brave, courageous, wonderful being. Love comes in so many different shapes & forms, to recognize love and the power it can have is to find the answers to everything. 2013 is a celebration of the love, 2013 to me is all about honoring that love & follow through, my mission being to bring love to all.
My first step on that mission is my fundraiser FOR THE LOVE on the 16th of February, to celebrate the love I have for life, for Jivamukti & becoming a Jiva Teacher, the love I have for other beings, for vegan food & sharing food, love for community and love for bringing people together.
My wish for 2013 is for everyone to find love within & spread it around, I dare you!
Translation: i am letting love into my life, i am open to all the gifts i receive from the universe
Love & Inspiration to all!
FOR THE LOVE & total dedication to my Jivamukti practice
FOR THE LOVE I have for ALL and for the LOVE I will gain in my Jivamukti Teacher Training to bring love, freedom & happiness to all beings on this planet. (Karo)
My 2013 wish for all: LOKAH SAMASTAH SUKHINO BHAVANTU! May all being everywhere be happy & free and may the thoughts, words & actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all!

THANK YOU TO MICHAEL BEASLEY for designing the flyer & KATIE MANITSAS for making this happen
Jivamukti Yoga
MAY ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE BE HAPPY AND FREE and may the thoughts, words and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
Something I live by, my ongoing mission in life, as a Sea Shepherd, an artist & a being.
I have been blessed with the wonderful gift of JIVAMUKTI YOGA: which is the best yoga form I have ever come across, I have seen and practiced many but this specific yoga form, which to me is as much restorative as it is energizing and their incredible teachers here in Sydney is just so fascinating. It has made a significant change in my life and I feel like a new person really, reborn and recharged, rejuvenated and empowered, the timing and place of meeting this form and starting my practice could not be more perfect, at a time in my life where I am going through a bit of soul searching, not really knowing what's up next, Jivamukti Yoga has given me the opportunity to reinvent myself, to restore my energy, soul, heart and mind it's just given me the space and practice to go through all that, this is the solid ground, the anchor that I need right now, I feel I am opening up my heart, my soul, my being, I feel like I can be free now and it has changed me in many other ways, I take time to think, to breathe, to relax, it has changed the way I think, the way I move, the way I act, the way I eat (I now eat even healthier then I already did) I feel so much lighter, happier and most of all in my body, I am in such a great headspace because of it & for that I am forever grateful.
I would like to express my ongoing gratitude and absolute gratefulness to Katie from Jivamukti Yoga Sydney for this amazing gift she has given me and all of us on the Bob Barker. I will certainly take Jivamukti with me on my many journeys to come, I promise wherever I am I will keep my practice up & I will always stay (inner)connected.
For those interested and curious, go check out this amazing yoga place and wonderful vegan café on Wilford Street, Newtown. CHECK: www.jivamuktiyoga.com.au

Product Description
Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool Remember how cool we all thought that first Dremel was? We're reliving the feeling with this one: lighter, faster, smarter, better, and stronger. The main improvement over the last generation is the battery source: lithium-ion. There are so many reasons to applaud. Lithium holds its charge up to six times longer in storage than nickel-cadmium batteries, so it's ready when you are. Remember the disappointment when you were ready and your battery was low? That won't happen with this one. It's got a battery fuel gauge that tells you how much life is left before a recharge, so you won't be caught without your Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool , and if you choose to keep it on its charger, you won't cause memory and shorten the charge capacity. It's small, it's light, it's comfortable and maneuverable; it's everything the corded models are, but without the cord. We love it.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Designed to be used with all Cordless Rotary Tool and most threaded attachments, the Dremel 8000-03 Lithium Ion Rotary Tool is ideal for home improvement enthusiasts, hobbyists, and do-it-yourselfers. Powered by a long-lasting lithium-ion battery, this cordless wonder provides the reliability and control needed to tackle any project, anywhere. The 8000-03 also offers the longest run-time of any Dremel cordless model and comes with 40 genuine Dremel accessories, including felt polishing wheels, grinding stones, cut-off wheels, mandrels, and more.
Customer Reviews
By Dremel
Great Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool , excellent price, free shipping. This dremel works great, holds the charge well, and accomplishes many tasks which I've performed with this tool. Highly recommended.
Finally, a cordless rotary tool that holds it charge while being stored. Now I don't have to worry about charging my tool's batteries the night before I need it for a project. And the Lithium Ion batteries are environmentally safe–unlike Nickel Cadmium batteries.
This tool is surprisingly smooth, yet seems as powerful as my old standby corded Dremel Model 395. At 35,000 RPM it is the fastest cordless rotary tool I've seen on the market. I like the sleek, ergonomic design. Based upon my previous experience with Dremel tools, I expect this tool to be trouble free for a long time.
By Great Rotary Tool
I wish I'd bought one years ago. I've only had it for a month, and I've used it several times. I do wish, however, that I'd bought it at Sears. They sell it for $65.
Edit: When I reported the price at Sears to Amazon, Amazon matched Sears price, lowered their price from $75, and gave me a refund on the difference, accounting for the tax that I would have paid here in Indiana. i.e., Amazon stays up with and ahead of competition. I even got free delivery.
Mine is utilized for robotics projects–it finds a lot of uses with metal. I also bought the press accessory with it. This little accessory helps me make straight cuts and drill holes.I'm telling you, I use this thing constantly and it works like a champ! It is powerful enough for me to cut all my brass and aluminum with the precision of that of a doctor. For as handy as this Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool is–I'd pay twice as much to get one if need be. I've had mine for 5 months too.
By Bishops Bead
I love my new cordless Dremel. Put a diamond drill bit in there and I take it along to bead shows. When I need to adjust a bead hold, Viola! All I need is a cup of water. It also comes in handle cleaning out bead release. To me, it is worth its weight in gold.
Thanks to Amazon I found it and at a great price too! Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool makes a great product and this kit is top of the line. It is durable and easy to use. It is easy to charge and keeps its charge for a long time. The kit contains basic and useful accessories.

VIDEO: Shooting Victim, Hero Toss Ceremonial First Pitch
Daniel Borowy of Perry Hall High School and his guidance counselor, Jesse Wasmer, earned huge cheers at the playoff game at Oriole Park Sunday night.
Some of the biggest cheers at Oriole Park Sunday night came before the game even started.
A sellout crowd stood as Perry Hall High student Daniel Borowy threw out the ceremonial first pitch with his guidance counselor, Jesse Wasmer.
Six weeks ago, Borowy, 17, was seriously wounded when he was shot in the high school lunchroom, allegedly at the hands of a fellow student. Wasmer is credited with intervening and preventing further violence. Click here to see Patch's coverage of the Perry Hall High shooting.
Orioles fans were especially delighted to see the balls caught by Nick Markakis and Brian Roberts—two popular players who are unable play due to injury.
6:56 am on Monday, October 8, 2012
What a wonderful way to wake up, watching this video. Daniel and Jesse, although you didn't ask for any of this, you sure have handled it with class, dignity and grace. May you all continue to physically and emotionally heal from the trauma you endured.
11:45 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
Well said PerryHallParent,couldn't have said it better mself.

8:24 am on Monday, October 8, 2012
I second the above comment - way to go Daniel & Jesse!
9:27 am on Monday, October 8, 2012
I couldn't agree more PerryHallParent. Thanks Emily for posting this video. We kept watching for it on TV last night but with the rain delay we either missed it or it wasn't shown on television. We were so disappointed, but I should have known the Patch would be on top of it!!
Lisa Eisemann
9:36 am on Monday, October 8, 2012
No doubt - you are both a class act; I'll second that your dignity and grace throughout this ordeal exemplify our high school and the ideals it espouses!!
10:17 am on Monday, October 8, 2012
This brought tears of Joy to my eyes, to see Daniel's recovery. PerryHallParent really said it all.
10:35 am on Monday, October 8, 2012
I was there last night... this was one of the best moments of the game in my opinion. The support from the crowd for those two was overwhelming and just awesome.

We are pleased to have captured this video, because it's our understanding that it was not shown on television. It was a very special moment, and it's great that Daniel seems to be in good health.
11:44 am on Monday, October 8, 2012
Sorry Tim Lemke - I didn't look closely enough to see your name. Thanks so much for the video!

The single most frequently asked wine question I receive has to do with when a wine should be consumed.
My answer should always be, "I don't know."
Most often, I take the bait and offer an educated guess, but no two wines age the same, even if they were produced under identical circumstances.
Wine is a living thing. One really doesn't know how a wine has aged until it is opened. If I err in my projections, I would rather err on the side of youth, rather than geriatrics.
I don't know why the concern about wine aging is so prevalent. Perhaps it is due to what I call the "Antiques Road Show Syndrome," where holders of would-be valuable antiques learn their possessions would have been worth a gazillion dollars were it not for the small repair inflicted upon the said treasure.
Wine lovers armed with the misguided notion that wines improve with age and become more valuable hold wines needlessly, assuming they will appreciate like unmolested antiques brought to the Road Show.
If interested in collecting showy bottles, then hold onto them. But if interested in enjoying the contents of the bottle, think again. The longer a wine is held, the more unpalatable it is likely to become — with the exception of some fortified wines like Port and some sweet wines like sauternes.
Consider pricey red wines in the $40 and above category. These wines go through aging in both French oak barrels and bottle before release. If consumed immediately upon release, they are perfectly sound wines, dark garnet red in color, very fruity, with a tannic grip to them.
Properly stored, five years out these wines will still be dark garnet red, fruity, but perhaps a bit less tannic, with fruit and tannin more in balance.
Ten years out, the wine might take on a brick color around the edge, it might not be as fruity and it might seem more tannic, because fruit flavors are declining.
What would be the optimum time to drink this wine?
If you answered five years out, go to the head of the class.
At least 90 percent of today's wines are made for immediate consumption. Some may last a few years, but they do not generally improve with age.
Wine company websites share opinions about a wine's ability to age. Wine publication vintage charts offer further guidance about optimum aging. But in some instances, holding a wine for its full projected life span may result in your being (a.) dead or (b.) disappointed.
If in doubt about when to consume a wine, open it as soon as possible, especially if this is a brand seen regularly in your grocer's wine section. For expensive California cabernets and blends, the maximum time for holding is 10 years, although many wines will have projected longer lives. The length of time a wine will age is not the same thing as the optimum consumption date.
Lighter red wines like pinot noir, have shorter lifespans than cabernet-based wines. In my experience, high-powered, big zinfandels do not have the longevity of well-made cabernets. I have seen them fall apart with eight to 10 years of age.
As a general rule of thumb, don't age white wines. Drink them while they are fresh and young.
This includes wines made from chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, riesling, pinot gris and other popular white varietals.
Alexis Lichine, the late wine expert and owner of several Bordeaux properties, said, "When it comes to enjoying wine, throw away the vintage charts and bring out the corkscrew."
To that, I would add, "And invite this wine writer to join you."

The Grotto at Lourdes

Finding booties that stay on your little prince's feet while giving him enough support to transition from crawler to waddler is a supreme pain in the ass.
So we figure any shoe that's good enough for Holland's royal family is good enough for us. (Yes, we are easily impressed by titles.)
Born in the Netherlands, Boumy is the latest baby shoe to make its stateside debut. The all-leather slippers are handcrafted with an elastic ankle band so they can be easily pulled on and off (by you, not them). Slightly textured bottoms also allow tiny toes to develop a natural gripping technique and ensure that your tot doesn't go slip-sliding around.
After testing them on our own mini sovereigns, we deemed the booties (love the moccasins for fall) equally useful as slippers for the newly bipedal and house shoes for the more experienced toddler.
Crown not included.

text: Now i've been a manual catch guy for awhile now, and i feel that it was a lot easier to have an edge with it in 06 than 07.. I play with the falcons and if i do a lob to lelie i can burn most corners deep. However, if i switch to him (While holding sprint mind you) i always seem to come up short. I used to be able to burn people on those deep routes with my stick but it seems like i'm always just a little short now.. I'm not sure if its because when i switch the reciever loses burst speed or what.. Has anyone else noticed this?
