Mark Zuckerberg was asked about a Facebook app for iPad today during Facebook's mobile event, and his response to Mashable's Ben Parr was that the iPad isn't mobile. Parr countered that Apple would disagree with Zuckerberg, to which Zuckerberg said "well, sorry". Former Android lead and current Facebook mobile head, Eric Tseng then intercepted the question and said they were still working on their strategy for tablets and that, as a new form factor, it required a new approach. Parr extrapolates:
The real hint to Facebook's iPad plans, though, is that Tseng focused on the form factor and not iOS. This could mean that Facebook's looking to build an HTML5 version of its website optimized for tablets. At the very least, Facebook seems intent on keeping a consistent experience across all tablet devices.
In the meantime though, Tseng points out that Facebook is accessible via the iPad through the official website (which is pretty darn functional) and through touch.facebook.com.
Whether iPad is "mobile" or "portable" is debatable. What's not debatable is that iPad runs a mobile operating system, iOS, which doesn't allow websites to access the Photo picker, so you can't upload pictures or video. You need (forgive me) an app for that. And using the iPhone app on the iPad just isn't a great user experience.
Twitter understands this. Many third party Twitter app developers understand this. Frustrated users certainly understand this. The question is, why doesn't the 20-year old billionaire genius get it?
Argue whether the iPad is mobile or not all you want, but the iPad needs a Facebook app regardless. Does Safari let me upload photos? No. Do I care about links to applications that don't work on mobile Safari? No. Should I have to tap on account names twice to get to their page? No. Should tagging a user in a post always work? Yes.
I can keep going.
Rene, You're blaming the wrong person. Why doesn't IOS for the IPad allow websites to access photo pikcer. You should be blaming Steve Jobs .. but of course he's your GOD, so you wouldn't.
Steve Jobs gave you a big lecture about how Ipad's are better than Netbooks yet it can't do a simple function like that.
This isn't an Apple lacks functionality debate this time, it's a Facebook being lazy and arguing a point that doesn't exist debate. Netbooks will run native web browsers and file systems, so your argument isn't really fair to begin with. I'm not saying that because I worship steve jobs either, i'm saying that because facebook IS lazy. look at their iPhone updates, they're minimal, buggy, lack features etc.. they always have. that's their scapegoat, and they'll use it as long as they can. Heck, even their internet website has constant vulnerabilities that they have to patch or fix. The iPhone update just released was garbage and minimal. And from what i hear, the android update or app wasn't great either
An iPad is not a netbook, it is not meant to be a netbook (in my opinion, I think netbooks are a waste of time, if an iPad does what you need, get that or a playbook or android tablet - if it doesn't, get an actual laptop, you'll be happier in the long run). But the iPad DOES do what most people want it to do in a smaller form factor. Yes, there are still bridges to gap. For Apple to have 95% of the marketshare for tablets, that's tremendous. But I will agree some functionality needs to be added to make the overall experience better.
@jerry: do you mean "why doesn't Safari on iOS support file uploading?" It already has the ability to copy photos to the device, as well as a website to store images in a local database.
I would love to Safari in iOS to support local storage uploading via HTML's file upload feature, but not for a site to simply access whatever it wants from my camera roll and albums.
Facebook's not mobile - damn it! Does that mean that I can't use it on my mac anymore or my work laptop or desktop. Life's just not worth living any more... MEH!
Not to debate whether iPad is mobile or not, but if they choose to focus on HTML5 for cross platform tablet form factor isn't that better? A more uniform experience across hardware and OS
They're trying to work out a way to rip off all your data first before they release a Faceplant App for tablets.
It seems like the people over at Facebook are going to be getting a lot of mail about this... iPad not mobile? Well, I say fooey!!
If the iPad is so great for browsing the web then why do you need an app at all? What's wrong with the full website?
Obviously Zuckerberg is an idiot. They hold a hugely publicized PC in what looks like a high school classroom with an overhead projector. All to announce they are releasing practically nothing. Steve Jobs is probably laughing at FB. What a joke!!
He meant mobile in the sense of smartphone size mobile. He did say he considered the ipad a computer which is what many ipad owners have been trying to say.
But is it even relevant to the whole issue of whether ipad needs an app? No. Even the iphone app bumped up to universal mode would be a start.
ZUckerberg is a tool. I agree with this blog entry - why does everyone else get it yet he doesn't.
Why is mobile such a key anyway - doesn't he want people to use his service? Is it all about check-ins now, or do they actually have other services available via facebook... (remember photos, status updates etc?)
I enjoy facebook but get tired real fast with all the BS on it... now its just political crying and arguing. Having a leader with such lack of vision makes me think I'm spending time on the wrong social service.
Zuckerberg needs to pull his head out of his ass and actually get something out to his customers that works properly. Of course though he doesn't see the Facebook users as his customers, he sees his advertisers as his customers, and those guys aren't that fussed about an iPad app.
Facebook is overloaded with crap, its a different kinda crap than myspace, but its crap nonetheless.
How many people viewed or read the announcements? Judging by some responses, not a lot.
Did Zuck say its not mobile? Yes. Is that what was meant? No. He was specifically speaking on mobile phone platforms today. Was calling it not mobile an error? Perhaps. But, he calls it a "computer" because it wasn't what he was there to talk on today. He said that, killed the topic and carried on. Like any good keynote speaker would when avoiding a question.
As for the setting being a college library lookalike, it was meant to look like that for the setting of the announcement. Why look "homey" when you're talking mobility?
As for whomever stated lack of iPhone functionality and abilities and last to update... Are you kidding me?! Where do you think they test everything first on mobile phone platform? It's sure as hell not BlackBerry. Know how I know? I'm newly reformed from there. There is lack of support and functionality. FB Places is available on iPhone, until today's Android inclusion, exclusively. I get more FB updates, in 2 months, more then I did on BB in 2 years! Don't believe me? Grab a friends BB and try using FB app. You'll be above thankful for what we have!
He does not understand it because he is a 20-year old billionaire .. what he does understand is what makes him a 20-year old billionaire.
Lastly, anyone wanting to mention iOS platform as "mobile", (ie. iPhone AND iPad)... Grab your new Apple TV and go mobile.
i don't want an ipad (well unless someone give me one free) i don't have macs just an ipod. i don't evne have an iphone but i'm so sick of these guys getting into these stupid semantic battles and mudslinging pissing contests. it hurts the users and accomplishes nothing. and i'm at starbucks right now and theres a guy with an ipad behind me. so someone thinks it's mobile. by the way i'm typing this on my laptop and it's fricken mobile too.
Yes..why do you need an app for facebook when browsing the web is so great on the ipad?? Why not just utilize the actual web site??
Or is it the fact that the ipad just doesnt provide a complete web browsing experience? And facebook should create an alternative for apple?
Complain all you want, but he still makes more than all of us combined, and we are using HIS service...
So facebook should spend money developing an app so you can upload pictures and video from a device without a camera? If that is your must-have use case vs the mobile site, then you are the one that doesn't get it.
It seems iPad is behind the curve in some things, and way ahead in others. Facebook needs a iPad app. They are missing out.
This is actually more an iOS limitation then it is a Facebook enforced issue. I can link of at least two other mobile OSes that allow facebook photo and video uploads from the photo and video viewers themselves. You don't need to go to the facebook site or load the facebook app to be able to upload them.
The iPhone app and mobile versions of the website (m.facebook.com and touch.facebook.com) are all missing functionality of the main website. The reason why they exist is because they are designed for the small screen of a cell phone. iPad's screen is big enough to display the full website with no problem. I think that is what Mark said when he meant that iPad is not mobile. To create an iPad app that would support all features of the website would be a huge duplication of effort and it makes perfect sense to me why Facebook refuses to do it. Instead, they should just tweak the full website to work flawlessly on the iPad. Since iPad does not support uploading photos via the browser, there should be a separate iPad app just for that purpose.
Not mobile?? What my 3G iPad is not mobile? Lol this is what happens when you have kids running a business. Good move suckerburg.
Ok I can see all the idiot fanboys are crying and putting the blame on FaceBook when clearly they should ask Apple why Safari isn't a REAL browser.
iPad is NOT mobile. I dont care if you have a 3G version of it. Mobile means a device such as iPhone or Nokia N97 or Droid , where it was built primary as a CELL PHONE unit.
Mobile doesn't mean PORTABLE that can tap into wifi or 3G networks.
If that'd be the case then a PSP , DS , kindle and even the MyFordTouch on a 2011 Ford Edge would all be mobile and should have their own apps.
Get a grip people. Facebook is making a valid point that they're not making a mobile app for iPad. However Im willing to bet that within the next 6 months or so , they will release a tablet version ;)
Back to your geek caves ! :twisted: :lol:
The part I don't get is why any of you actually care. How many of you actually use Facebook? If I hadn't gotten suckered into Farmville, I'd never look at it. It comes nowhere near the scope of Twitter. Even from a Mac or PC on the web it's totally inconsistent. I can look at my pc on the web and my FB app on my iPhone and see two completely different sets of status updates. WTF?!
Time to say "ok, fine, so Facebook won't do an iPad version...let's just call it like it is and stop using FB. Period."
Alli my dear ,
There are more Facebook users out there than iPad & iPhone users combines. Fact.
It could be the other way around where people would say why would I need an iPad.
Let's face it , even tho FB has its minor bugs , it's still a very popular and useful network to keep in touch with friends and family.
Show me one app, website or device that's PERFECT !
Zuckerberg had to make a deal with the devil to get where he is. I understand that he started Facebook. I understand he's a billionaire. But he has shown multiple times that he is incompetent at running a business. Facebook has been caught multiple times giving away (selling?) users private information. The iPhone app is horrible and riddled with bugs.
The FB app for the iPhone already exists (buggy). Why not make an iPad version? Why not expand your user base even more? Why stare at an opportunity, and not take advantage?
People, Facebook is a website! iPad has a 1024X768 screen resolution and is capable of displaying websites without a need to create a special app. The apps are created for mobile phones that have smaller screen. Mark meant that iPad is not a mobile PHONE.
@Joe McG
Making an iPad app will cost time and money, and expand Facebook's user base approximately 0%. The intersection of iPad owners, Facebook users, and non-smartphone owners is too small to count, much less any impact on FB's user base. They have stared at that opportunity, and have concluded (thus far) the benefit is not worth the cost.
But, you know, Facebook has a plethora of open APIs. If you see an opportunity Facebook does not, build your own Facebook iPad client, and cash in.
this is funny... didn't he, in an interview earlier this year, say that an ipad version was in production? if it wasn't him, SOMEBODY from facebook said it... doesn't matter to me though, the "friendly for facebook" app does the job fairly well
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read something like this before. So good to seek out someone with some authentic ideas on this subject. realy thanks for starting this up. this web site is something that's needed on the web, somebody with a little originality. helpful job for bringing something new to the internet!
What a pathetic excuse. I think it is time for young master zuckerberg to listen to the grownups for once and do as he is told!
Fact is, people like the badge notifications you get on the iPhone. It's exactly the same OS and the iPhone on the iPad, so how can they say it's not mobile? The Facebook website doesn't work on iPad, like it doesn't work on the android tablets too. You are limited with the touchscreen, because of moving things around like setting new display pictures. I agree with the guys above who say Facebook are lazy sons of bitches. Few are Steve Jobs worshippers, we just know that his way is probably best at the moment.
Something to consider is that Facebook is a non-versioned release system...which means if they want to release a new version, it just works.
Having a mobile version-controlled app means that there could be a lot of inconsistency & error messages in the experience for those who haven't upgraded their app since the Facebook un-versioned web experience was updated.
I think we'll see a lot more of this in the future, and Apple will figure out how to make it work in everyone's favor...hopefully.
it works fine with me
Try reinstall, without opening it, change the device family.plist as usual
Then install the tweak then respiring
hello there and thank you for your info – I have certainly picked up something new from right here.

Jonathan Adler pottery begins its life in our Soho studio, where Jonathan and his team design and sculpt every prototype. The product you are viewing is produced by skilled artisans at our main workshop in Peru. They make molds from our prototypes and then hand craft each piece from high-fired stoneware or porcelain.

Christian Dior Glasses
The Story Behind The Brand
The French designer was born in Normandy, 1905. He had a passion was for fashion and the arts. During the World War II, Dior dressed for military wives and other government spouses. He wanted to preserve the French fashion industry for economic and artistic reasons. His designs revolutionised post-war fashion. In 1946, he started his haute couture empire, House of Dior. Christian Dior Couture stayed away from restricting, boxy designs that hid a woman's shape.
Instead, fashion house created beautiful flowing garments that enhanced a woman's curvaceous form. This fashion reform became historically recognised as the 'new look'. The brand became well known for its haute couture and beautiful luxurious creations since the empire launch. It also expanded into menswear, perfumery, accessories, jewellery and cosmetics. Like its haute couture collections, the eyewear collection follows suit.
The Eyewear
Most of the brand's models have a vintage yet glamorous appearance. The optical collection offers a wide range of frame settings. Whether you like chunky full rimmed frames or sleek semi-rimless frames, there's a perfect pair for you. The majority of frames for men and women have a rectangle frame shape. Not only is this a classic shape, it's also a shape that suits all. If you prefer other vintage shapes, the latest designs take your style into consideration; offering a range of frame styles from aviator and square, to cat eye.
Black Tie collection
This collection is the most talked about collection for men. It's stylish, it's sexy, and it pays homage to vintage French fashion. The collection has been designed with masculinity and simplicity in mind. These optical models are sleek, understated, and beautifully executed. The frames are made from the acetate plastic material with a squared shape. Plastic is a great material choice for a contemporary look.

A fresh bergamot top note combined with cardamom radiates an almost electric energy. A potent sensation of energy, as central as a universe in perpetual motion. The verticality of incense is exalted by a harmony of orchid, a sexual and fascinating flower whose varieties and color forms evoke so well the multiple facets of the Yves Saint Laurent woman. The skin turns to the divine and divinity. The oliban base remains unsettling. Dense, essential sensuality, a live and mysterious force.

michelle C: I bought this fragrance in Paris last year and love it. I'm glad I can order it from this website!! Sep 1, 2013
karin m: i had the original and was looking for it for years - never found another perfume as good - I surely hope the relaunch is as good as the original May 29, 2013
MARIA T: I have never worn this fragrance but I saw great reviews on line. I think it's a must try. It was first introduced in 2001 when Tom Ford worked for YSL. Feb 11, 2013
A shopper asked:
Glad to see I am not the only one feeling let-down by the new Nu. There is simply no comparison! The original was soft and sensual and now it is harsh. This is the second time they have done this. Opium used to be devine. Why change something that was so beautiful. What about your loyal original customers?
Jun 28, 2012
Kathleen V:
Absolutely agree. The original was so beautiful. The scent stayed in your skin for hours. Five to six hours after putting it on, my boyfriend used to say that I still smelled fabulous. Now the scent dissipates in no time. Why this beautiful scent was changed is beyond me. Please bring back the original NU Yves Saint Laurent!

Lynn P:
Yes. I first bought Nu created by Tom Ford years ago in Florence, Italy. I don't think it was available in the US. When it was sold in the US it was in a silver circular container. I don't remember every buying a blue container. It is my favorite fragrance and I was so disappointment when it was no longer sold. I love it!
May 16, 2012
Lynn P:
Hi! sorry for all of the typos in my email! I was on a conference call & writing at the same time! I purchased the re-released Nu directly from the YSL web site. They were very helpful!
May 16, 2012
Jo F:
Jo F - Tom Fords - Black Orchid is very very similar to this, I have a bottle and I love it I also have both the Blue bottle and Silver container and people tell me the blue bottle smells stronger then the silver, hope this helps a little
Aug 21, 2012
Klara U:
The fragrance is the same but it does not last as long as the original in the round silver container. I did not like the round container as it leaked and fell apart. However, I did prefer the longer lasting scent.
Claire May 28, 2012

Charlene C:
I think it smells very similar. My older containers of Nu are a bit stronger.That could be because they are so old. I bought as many as I could when they stopped selling it.It is my very favorite.
May 16, 2012
A shopper asked:
Has anyone gotten a bottle yet? I remember the old scent and wonder if this is identical.
Mar 9, 2012
Juli L:
I have 5 1/2 bottles of the original formulation (in the silver disk) and one full bottle in the blue. This new release doesn't even compare to the Nu of old. I was truly disappointed yet ever so thankful that I still had my stash of the original.
I don't understand why such masterpieces are toyed with a ruined. It's such a shame because the original was a true beauty. Aug 23, 2012

Please bring back original Nu. On my last bottle. I have bought countless scents to try and find the one. Nu is still it. I read that there is a place that can recreate scents. Has anyone tried this?
Dec 16, 2012
Charlene C:
It seems a little lighter, but it might be because my other bottles are so old.. The smell is really close.

Sometimes they use ingredients that are hazardous and they have to change the formula.

I purchased my product directly from the YSL website. I do not know if Nu is available from a brick/mortar outlet. You might Google this.

It smells the same to me but not nearly as concentrated, and more expensive. I am still happy it is back but miss the old version, I can only find it online in the states, stores don't seem to stock it in the US.
May 6, 2013
Kathleen V:
Yes, it is the same perfume. More expensive these days, but yes has the same great scent.
Nov 11, 2012
A shopper asked:
When did YSL see the light and bring back this amazing fragrance? I just happened to key in Nu out of curiosity.
Nov 1, 2013
Kathleen V:
It is nice, however it is not exactly like the original. It seems weaker and does not last as long at all. Very unfortunate, since the original was fabulous
Nov 1, 2013
Tali A:
I was thrilled to discover the availability of Nu on the YSL website! It's one of my all time favorite fragrances (during winter) and I haven't been able to find it in stores. Keep it coming!
I'm surprised it's a "sleeper" of a fragrance -- I consistently receive compliments when I wear it. Nov 4, 2013

Sandra B asked:
When is YSL going to bring back the original Nu? You actually had the perfect product and women AND men who love your fragrances would have embraced this fragrance over time.
Sorry, but the new version is simply not to the standard as the previous was and if you value your customers, I return to the original packaging and relaunch it. You had a HIT on your hands and simply didn't know it.
Please reconsider! Apr 22, 2012

Lena Horne
Lena Horne
Singer/actress Lena Horne's primary occupation was nightclub entertaining, a profession she pursued successfully around the world for more than 60 years, from the 1930s to the 1990s. In conjunction with her club work, she also maintained a recording career that stretched from 1936 to 2000 and brought her three Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1989; she appeared in 16 feature films and several shorts between 1938 and 1978; she performed occasionally on Broadway, including in her own Tony-winning one-woman show, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music, in 1981-1982; and she sang and acted on radio and television. Adding to the challenge of maintaining such a career was her position as an African-American facing discrimination personally and in her profession during a period of enormous social change in the U.S. Her first job in the 1930s was at the Cotton Club, where blacks could perform but not be admitted as customers; by 1969, when she acted in the film Death of a Gunfighter, her character's marriage to a white man went unremarked in the script. Horne herself was a pivotal figure in the changing attitudes about race in the 20th century; her middle-class upbringing and musical training predisposed her to the popular music of her day, rather than the blues and jazz genres more commonly associated with African-Americans, and her photogenic looks were sufficiently close to Caucasian that frequently she was encouraged to try to "pass" for white, something she consistently refused to do. But her position in the middle of a social struggle enabled her to become a leader in that struggle, speaking out in favor of racial integration and raising money for civil rights causes. By the end of the century, she could look back at a life that was never short on conflict, but that could be seen ultimately as a triumph.

How to use a map and compass
Long before GPS, people were using maps and compasses to find their way around. You may be surprised at what you can do with these two important tools.
Contents |
When we talk about a map in this article, we are generally referring to a good topographical map such as what can be found at Topozone.com or Mytopo.com. Road and street maps are pretty much worthless out in the woods. Topo maps have all sorts of information on them like elevation, water, land types, land marks, etc. These maps usually have enough features marked on them to guide a map reader to the vicinty of the cache. At scales of 1:10000 or 1:5000 an experienced navigator can get to within a few meters of a cache placement. (They also have degree or utm grids or hashmarks on them so you can actually compare where you are on the map to your gps coordinates, or find your gps coordinates if you know where you are on the map).
If you are using a standard base plate compass: Your compass will have a needle built into it that points to Magnetic North (red end), and is inside a liquid filled housing with parallel lines in the housing. The housing can be rotated 360 degrees. There will be a transparent base plate that has a directional arrow.
There are other types of compasses employing various sighting techniques for surveying or map production, but for navigation in conjunction with a map, a simple base plate model is fine.
Using the map and compass together
Taking and following a bearing
To take a meaningful bearing you must know where you are currently located and recognize that location on the map. Of course you also need to know where you want to go and where that is located on the map. When you know these two things simply connect "where you are", with "where you want to go" by placing the compass on the map. Use an edge of the clear base plate with the directional arrow pointing to "where you want to go" to connect those two points. Now while the compass is on the map turn the housing until the lines inside the housing are aligned with *magnetic north. Lift the compass off the map, turn the entire compass (not the housing by itself) until the magnetic needle and N on the edge of the housing are aligned. The direction of "where you want to go" is now in the direction of the travel arrow on the clear baseplate. Sight out to the furthest distinct landmark in that direction and walk toward it. If you can maintain the bearing just keep repeating the sighting process. If the terrain does not allow walking in a relatively straight line then more map reading and less compass reading will be required.
- magnetic north can be determined by looking on the border of the USGS sheet. It will vary with location and may not be totally uniform in an area. It is a good idea to put your own magnetic north lines on the map at home before going out or memorizing the declination at your favorite caching areas.
Determining your location on a map - Map Reading
Yes, it can be done without a GPS. Maps have literally millions of bits of data on every sheet. The trick is to use them effectively. Familiarize yourself with the symbols used on all USGS maps. Compare the contour lines on the map with the actual terrain until it becomes easy to visualize the topography of an area by looking at the map. Start by identifying stream patterns and work up to the hilltops. Try to get a feel for the scale. Walk 500 yards or so and see how far you travelled on the map.
Find your destination's location on the map then plan on how to find it. Determine your starting point and look at the potential routes to the cache. Read the contour lines. Closer together means steeper, further apart means less steep. Consider the climb and the distance to be covered and make route choices based on your physical abilities, the weather, and your map reading skills. Look at the water features. Stream crossings can be dangeous, but streams often make good "handrails" to lead you to a specific landmark. Find two or three features near the cache location that you feel you can identify when you reach them on the ground. Draw and label magnetic bearings from these landmarks to the cache at home when you are not affected by weather, fatigue, or excitement.
======Handrails:====== Use linear features on the map when they are available to get you closer the final destination. Streams, edges of woods or fields, powerlines, lines of cliffs, long ridges, trails, and stone walls are typical handrails. Follow them to as close the cache as possible, then take a bearing from there. If available, the end of the final handrail should be one of your landmarks used to pinpoint the cache.
======Catching features:====== Look behind the cache area and determine some feature that will tell you if you get confused and go too far. Again, a linear feature is best. You can walk past a point feature like a small building or evergreen tree because you did not hit it directly. ======Thumbing====== As you walk with your map, keep your thumb on the last spot where you were totally confident of your position. When you look at the map again you will immediately be drawn to the correct spot on the map to check your new position. Many areas have lots of similar and perhaps parallel features (like two side by side streams with a ridge in between) and it is sometimes easy to get confused and magically transport your self over the ridge into the wrong valley. Things might look right for awhile and by the time you realize your mistake a correction could be difficult.
Judging Distance
Know your pace. That is, know how many steps you take to travel a certain distance. Realize that uphill and rough gound will increase the number of steps and practice enough to know how much of an effect that is for you. Be able to measure distance on the map using the scale on the edge of the compass. Make your own scale of hundred foot increments on adhesive tape if your compass edge has no scale that suits your liking. You could use a football field to determine your 100 yard pace in perfect terrain.
Determine your EXACT location on the map before you leave the parking area. Scan the area to get a feel for the terrain and relate it to your map. USGS maps often smooth cluttered contour data so you need to set your personal "data filter" at the same level. Check your plan, take your bearing and start off. Keep track of the distanced covered either by pacing or by checking off mapped landmarks as they appear along your route. Always remain in map contact, that is, always know where you are on that map. If you loose contact stop and regain it. Look around for a landmark that is on the map, or return to the last spot where you were in map contact. In easy terrain you may be able to simply follow a line of sight bearing to the cache. If the terrain will not allow a straight line approach, then use the compass to keep the map oriented to the ground and navigate using contours and other mapped features to the vicinity of the cache. Then use the bearings to the landmarks you selected during the planning stage to find the crossing point of all the lines. The cache should be there.
Aerial photos
Add a good aerial photo to your data and you can just about walk to the cache and log in. The photo adds data changes since the last USGS printing plus many things the USGS maps omit. Trails, single trees, evergreens in deciduous forest, wood lot corners, stream bends, even the shadows of those elusive lamp posts, all show up perfectly. Most photos are taken during the "leaf off" seasons so even the edges of dense patches of vegetation can be detected. Remember that in the northern hemisphere shadows cast during the time that mapping photos are taken will point from NW around to NE, never to the south. This can be important, for instance, if you are using a long shadow of an evergreen to pinpoint the exact location of the tree. If you assume the tree to be at the wrong end of the shadow, you may be off by a couple hundred feet. If the three landmarks you are using to pinpoint the cache location are from the photo instead of the USGS, your search time will be reduced significantly. If the photo and the USGS disagree, go with the photo. If the photo and the GPS disagree, go with the photo. Of course the photo is weak in showing contour data, but when used in conjunction with the map, steep slopes may become visible especially if the photo was taken when the sun was close the horizon. i.e. early in the day, late in the day, or in mid-winter.

The names of few rock bassists have become more synonymous with fretless bass than that of session great Tony Franklin. Like the man who designed it, the Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass® guitar takes a classic instrument to a new level, with an alder body and modern C-shaped maple neck with an unfinished and unfretted ebony fingerboard with side dot position markers. Other features include vintage tuners, Hipshot® Bass Xtender drop-D tuner on the E string, and three-way pickguard switch that controls an American Series Precision Bass neck pickup and a Tony Franklin signature Jazz Bass® bridge pickup with hex-screw lugs and ceramic bar magnets.

After a lot of research using the net, bass forums, you tube etc, I finally got an opportunity to try a new 2013, sunburst right out of the box,
the action and neck feel were incredible, ( I want all my basses to feel this way ). The tone quality, and versatility from the pickups, fantastic.
The Hip shot Drop D Tuner works great also adding to versatility. The 3-way split switch for the pickup selection is exactly what I needed, simplicity. I really wanted the black on black and was able to find one, after trying it out, it was a 2012 and been hanging around awhile - same silky feel, great tone as the sunburst I tried, a testament to the build quality.

Please call ( 601) 266- 4574 for more information. Biography Mr. George A. Stevens was born in 1910 on a farm in Forrest County, Mississippi. In 1921 he moved with his family to Hattiesburg, where his father worked for the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad. He attended Hattiesburg public schools but graduated from high school in Anthony, New Mexico, where he was visiting relatives who owned a cattle ranch. Returning to Hattiesburg, Mr. Stevens attended The University of Southern Mississippi, completing a degree in education. He taught languages and coached sports at public schools in Petal, Eatonville, and Newton and then went to the University of Mississippi, where he taught and completed additional coursework. Mr. Stevens accepted a teaching position at the National University of Mexico where he remained until 1938, when he returned to Mississippi. He taught languages and coached sports at Hinds Junior College and was also the coordinator of the Civilian Pilot Training Program for area colleges. With the outbreak of World War II, Mr. Stevens reported for active duty in the U. S. Navy and qualified as an intelligence officer. He served aboard the aircraft carrier Essex in the South Pacific. He returned to active duty during the Korean conflict and was a member of the Naval Reserve, eventually accumulating almost thirty years of service. Following World War II, Mr. Stevens embarked on a career in public relations. He was associated with Mid- Continent Airlines, Braniff International Airways, and the State of Oklahoma in a public relations capacity, before accepting an offer from Mississippi Governor Paul B. Johnson Jr. to establish and operate an international marketing division of the Mississippi Marketing Council. This office was opened at the International Trade Mart in New Orleans in 1966. Mr. Stevens directed efforts to locate foreign markets for Mississippi's agricultural and industrial products until his retirement in 1976. Mr. Stevens married the former Sidney Lee McLaurin of Vicksburg and they had one son, George Jr. Mr. Stevens died January 6, 1978. mus- coh. stevensg. doc Page 1 of 52
