The service price also haven't changed since forever also as it's still 29.99 for the first year of internet, then after that it goes to the regular $45.95. This is how it's been for the past 5yrs or so. When I first signed up in 1998 we had to buy our own modems from Nobody Beats the Wiz - Had a 3Com Sharkfin then for my 10/1Mbps service.Saying all that to hope Charter is thinking of doing the samething, so cross your fingers.

Kansas legislators are planning to take an unusually long spring break this year, part of efforts by Republican leaders to shorten the time lawmakers spend in session, House Speaker Ray Merrick said Monday.
Legislators plan to work through April 5, the 74th day in session, then reconvene on May 8 to wrap up business for the year. If they had followed a traditional schedule, they would reconvene on April 24.
Merrick, a Republican from Stilwell in Johnson County, faced questions about whether the extended break is designed to allow legislators to attend an early May meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a national group for lawmakers that promotes conservative model legislation on a wide range of issues. Merrick and Senate President Susan Wagle, a Wichita Republican, are members of the group's national board.
"It's a coincidence," Merrick told The Associated Press.
Instead, Merrick said, the goal is to limit legislators' work after the spring break to reviewing vetoes by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. Extending the spring break ensures that any deadlines for Brownback to act on bills approved by the GOP-dominated Legislature will have passed.
"We might be out of here in a day," Merrick said.
ALEC's spring meeting is May 2-3 in Oklahoma City, and the National Conference of State Legislatures also is having a spring meeting May 2-4 in Denver. Merrick sent fellow House members a letter Monday, urging them to join ALEC and noting its May meeting.
Republican leaders repeatedly have said they'd like to shave 10 or more days of the annual session's normal schedule of 90 days, but lawmakers often have met longer. The record was 107 days in 2002. Last year, legislators were in session 99 days, including 26 days after their spring break.
Lawmakers began scheduling the spring break in 1969. The first few wrap-ups lasted one or two days, in line with their description as "veto" sessions. However, by the late 1980s, legislators were waiting until after their spring break to resolve most issues.
"We have pushed far too many issues off into the veto session in previous years," said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat. "It's a practice we should end."

This study assesses the global trade in coral in an ecological and economic context. Throughout the report emphasis is placed on the trade in live coral for aquaria because the last decade has seen an enormous increase in this business. The taxonomic composition of the trade is identified and the quantities of coral passing between nations illustrate the links between major exporters and importers. Subsequent chapters present data on the practicalities of monitoring international trade in coral at the global scale. Size and growth rate data are used to assess the sustainability of the trade in live coral, and export and retail prices are used to estimate the revenue to exporting nations.

Truth & Rumors > NFL
Tavon Austin claims he's the best player in NFL Draft

04:09 PM ET 02.22 | We're just under two months away from the 2013 NFL Draft and we still don't have a consensus No. 1 overall pick. Some experts are saying that Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel is the best player in the draft while others are making the case for defensive lineman Star Lotulelei, edge rushers Damontre Moore and Bjoern Werner and even Geno Smith is still getting nods as one of the best prospects in the draft. But ask West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin who the best player in the draft is and he's got a pretty good idea of who it is. That's not discouraging him from selling the brand of Tavon Austin. When asked what kind of receiver he'll be and if he looked up to any current receivers in the NFL that are vertically challenged, he gave some obvious answers, comparing himself to be a hybrid of Percy Harvin and Wes Welker.
"comparing himself to be a hybrid of Percy Harvin and Wes Welker."

Cold temperatures equal winter fun
The bay, which is normally dotted with bob houses by the end of January, did not freeze over last winter, leaving open water. This winter's ice has been slow in coming, prompting frequent thin-ice warnings by authorities.
But with temperatures dipping below zero this week, the ice has been thickening, bob houses have been appearing, and it looks like the bay will have plenty of ice in time for this year's Pond Hockey Classic on Feb. 1, 2, and 3, and for the 34th Annual Great Meredith Rotary Fishing Derby on Feb. 9-10.
Scott Crowder, founder of the Pond Hockey Classic, had to move his games to smaller ponds last year. He said measurements taken by his crews this week showed between 6 and 14 inches of ice on the bay.
Barring a sudden warm-up, the classic will again be held on the bay. The games' organizers need to have 12 inches of ice to safely play, he said, and it looks like they'll have it.
That's good, Crowder said, as this year's classic will feature 200 teams, the largest in the tournament's five-year history.
"We weren't sure there for awhile how good this year's ice would be. This cold weather is much needed," Crowder said.
"At this rate, it looks like there will be lots of good ice, which is what we need."
The conditions for the fishing derby also look promising, said this year's derby director, Jim Nagle. Ice fishermen prefer at least six inches of ice to be safe, he said.
"With this arctic blast for four or five days, it looks like we'll have a solid ice base," Nagle said.
"The bob houses are already showing up all over the bay," he said. "It looks like we'll have a great year for ice fishing now, and a great tournament."

Complaint Review: Dogs Deserve Better
Dogs Deserve Better Moonlight road
Smithfield, Virginia United States of America |
Dogs Deserve Better Thayne / Grimes We, the former DDB reps want the truth told!!!! Smithfield, Virginia
*Author of original report: My DDB Experience...
*UPDATE EX-employee responds: My DDB Experience
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
"The Nat'l Coordinator was Tami's heavy. Tami had NOTHING to do with the Reps. The ONLY time calling her was acceptable was when she had to okay medical services. Tami/the nat'l coordinator put pressure on the Reps about Vet services being "too expensive". And making an appt for a DDB dog to be Vetted was -always- an ordeal. Getting rescue dogs vetted became such a hassle that I paid for a few myself with my own money. I paid for everything involving the daily care of my fosters, with my own money. I couldn't rest knowing there was any dogs that went unchecked. I admit that I was blinded to Tami's absence because I was SO in love with the idea of helping chained dogs.
I was weary from having to explain and justify my actions and decisions as a Rep. So I quit. I couldn't over extend myself one more moment. Nor could I deal with anymore complaints from DDB. Of which 99% of complaints DDB would take to their Reps was money related. So that was it. And since then, there is NO help or attention for any of the chained dogs I was monitoring.
So my experience with DDB was negative throughout. And I saw Tami and DDB through rose colored glasses. But since then I've noticed the inadequacies more clearly. And when Tami bought that Vick house. And she put the Rep program on "hold" so she could focus her time and MONEY on this property..... Well I knew then DDB was not going in the right direction. The Rep program is the vital link between the dogs suffering in backyards, and the help they so desperately need."
"I was sad to leave, because I thought the cause was an honorable one, but didn't realize the reputation the organization has. I left because I don't agree with the organization's ethics and business practices. Since learning how they do business, I have definitely learned HOW NOT to run a Not-for-Profit Organization. I spent way too much of my own money on "their" dogs without receiving much back from the donations I solicited from them... sounding familiar? I could have over looked it a bit IF I didn't receive hundreds of vulgar hate e-mails during my final few days being an Area Rep for them, - I quit. Then I saw the people and the organization for what it was; sensationalist propaganda and sue-happy snarks."

My DDB Experience
AUTHOR: D - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, June 25, 2012
I have not had the same experience as those I have read about here. I am proud of my work for DDB. I am ecstatic about the acquisition of Vick's property and am more than willing to help see this dream become a reality.
I am grateful to Tamira Ci Thayne and DDB, as I am sure all the hundreds of dogs rescued during the time I was with them are also grateful to be living in happy, loving, inside, adoptive homes. Thank you.

Bayberry Candle Legend
"Bayberry candles burned to the socket, bring health to the home and
wealth to the pocket!"
Did you know that we have the finest bayberry
and bayberry scented candles? Our exquisite Bayberry Scented Tapers
are 100% made by hand in the United States of America... that is how we can
provide you excellent quality at an affordable price! We guarantee
you'll love these candles! Remember: There are TWO CANDLES per box! ORIGINAL WILLIAMSBURG BAYBERRY CANDLES!
Burning bayberry candles is a tradition
dating back to colonial times. Early colonists came upon the bayberry shrub
growing in the sand belt of the Atlantic coast, as well as the shores of
Lake Erie. The berry-type fruit is crusted with a greenish-white wax,
settlers found that boiling the fruit created a wax residue on the surface
of the water. The wax had a fragrant aroma and burned magnificently. Many
berries had to be boiled to get enough wax to make a candle, these candles
burned longer, cleaner, and brighter than did the traditional candles of the
time. Therefore, bayberry candles were saved and burned on special occasions
only! One such special occasion was the celebration of the New Year. Remember: There are TWO CANDLES per box! ORIGINAL WILLIAMSBURG BAYBERRY CANDLES!

Scented Taper Candles. |

How does Native American history shape the work of Sherman Alexie and current...
Topic: The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
How does Native American history shape the work of Sherman Alexie and current understandings of Native Americans in the U.S.?
1 Answer | add yours
Best answer as selected by question asker.
This is quite a complex question. However, I would say that Sherman Alexie writes from a Native American perspective partially to highlight current situations in Native American communities which are a result of the complex history. In addition being Native American himself, his characters speak with an authenticity.
In other words, his works are tied to Native American history because his characters and the situations they find themselves in cannot be separated from the history of Native Americans. His characters are a mixture of native beliefs and a result of adapted and evolved beliefs due to the reservation system. These characters also react to situations they find themselves in with this mixture. In addition, the situations the characters are in are also a result of the history of Native Americans.
All of this compounds together to give the reader (hopefully) a better understanding of Native Americans in the US today.

Occupational Choice and Dynamic Indeterminacy
This paper construct a two-sector model of two-period lived overlapping generations with endogenous occupational choice where ability-heterogeneous agents choose whether to become educated when young. We show that the steady-state equilibrium can be locally indeterminate even under linear preferences and constant-returns Cobb-Douglas production technologies, regardless of the factor-intensity rankings. Thus, endogenous occupational choice can result in dynamic indeterminacy without complicate preferences/technologies and without requiring the consumption-good production $more capital-intensive.

Manned Mission to Mars. Interest grows in an international effort to send humans to Mars early in 21st century
(Page 3 of 3)
Also, he notes that little is known about the danger from cosmic rays and solar protons. If these are more harmful than anticipated, heavier and more costly shielding than is usually considered may be needed.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Joseph Loftus, assistant director for plans at the NASA Johnson Space Center adds that communications problems dictate much more sophisticated technology on a Mars ship than was needed to go to the moon. Radio signals, which travel at the speed of light, would take up to 30 minutes to reach the spaceship. And communications blackouts would occur when the ship is hidden by the sun. These phenomena make it essential that crew and spaceship be much more autonomous than they have ever been. Real-time monito ring by Earth-based controllers who can quickly radio warnings and new procedures to the crew will not be possible.
Mr. Loftus urges that the US space station complex be used as a test bed to develop such technology. This would also be a good place to develop closed-loop systems for recycling water, oxygen, and other essential materials and to experiment with space gardens for growing food, as the Soviets have been doing with their Salyut station. Why go in the first place?
But why go to Mars anyway? Several planetologists raise this question rhetorically and answer it with variations of essentially the same theme. The basic reason, as they see it, is a combination of the manifest destiny of mankind to expand outward into the solar system and of getting to know another planet well enough to gain new insights into our own earthly home.
Harold Masursky of the US Geological Survey notes, for example, that Mars, like Earth, has had a succession of ice ages. These are reflected in the different ages of water-cut channels seen on the Martian surface. If the channels and the glaciations they represent can be dated and compared with Earth's glacial epochs, they might shed light on the ice-age mechanism.
``Perhaps what we can do is to compare the long history of glaciations and deglaciations on Mars with those on the Earth and see if they match,'' Dr. Masursky explains. ``If they match, it's probably variations in the solar output. If they don't match at all, then it says the heat engine of the two planets is what causes glaciation and deglaciation and we have to look for individual mechanisms.''
Then there is the profound question of why there is life on Earth and, perhaps, not on Mars. If there is indeed no Martian life, this presents a ``remarkable'' scientific opportunity, says Cornell University astronomer Carl Sagan. ``Mars is the planet with the closest environment to the Earth in all the solar system and life is on one and not on the other,'' he explains. ``How come? It's the classic situation of the experiment and the control. There are enormously good scientific reasons to go to Mars.' '
But he and others admit that this in itself is insufficient reason to make the journey. Basically, says NASA's Beggs, we should go to Mars to further human development: ``Why not go to Mars to use human judgement, human ability, and human intelligence to explore an exciting new world?''
Roger Bonnet, director of space sciences for the European Space Agency, says that his agency would start to raise money for a Mars mission if this were set as an international goal. Man will land on Mars, he says, adding that it is as inevitable as building the space station.

Building trusted relationships Ian Powell Senior partner PwC UK
Changes in demographics and the nature of work have made it harder than ever to find and keep the right people - and business leaders are balancing this imperative with cost containment. How are businesses addressing this talent challenge? They're thinking more strategically about getting the talent pipeline right, focusing more on getting the right information about their workforce and investing more in their people. They're also doing more to empower staff and improve organisational agility. And importantly, companies are rebuilding trust with society – starting from within, with their employees.
Resilient organisations recognise that how they respond to uncertainty is as important as how they control it. In an environment where change is constant and where businesses must take greater risks to achieve the same rewards as in the past, the challenge is to become much more agile and adaptable – and indeed, to turn uncertainty into an opportunity. To do this, leading companies are improving their responsiveness through organisational design and management, and looking beyond the enterprise to improve systemic resilience.
In a super-connected world, the speed and scale of disruptive change is happening at an unprecedented level. More collaboration between more stakeholders can help not only to weather tough times, but to find opportunity and thrive in uncertainty. Trust is essential for creating and strengthening the relationships that build stronger institutions, businesses and societies.
At a time of a profound collapse of trust and confidence in business, PwC established the Building Public Trust Awards in the UK. In our view, too little attention was being paid to the role of transparency in good business reporting and governance. Although there's been progress in corporate reporting, trust in business has continued to erode. Leaders recognise that trusted relationships underpin their organisations' 'licence to operate'. And the explicit promotion of ethical behaviours has become a key priority. The challenge for CEOs is to lead by example – living the value and behaviours of their organisation and engaging with stakeholders in a way that's not just transparent but genuine.
In order to grow in an environment of constant disruption, businesses are adapting their approach to becoming more competitive. They're being more selective in how and where they grow – while at the same time assessing a wider range of growth markets. They're getting closer to their markets, developing local capabilities and a deeper understanding of local stakeholders. Businesses are also improving their operational effectiveness – balancing cost cutting and value creation. And companies are turning more to partnerships to achieve these goals.
Bruce Hassall, CEO of PwC New Zealand, introduces key findings from our survey of New Zealand CEOs.

- 3 pounds spinach (3 to 4 large bunches), tough stems discarded, rinsed well and drained
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- 4 teaspoons rice-wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons roasted sesame seeds
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add spinach one bunch at a time, covering pan after each addition and adding more spinach once the prior batch has wilted. When all spinach is in the pan, let steam, covered, until completely wilted, about 30 seconds.
- Drain spinach in a colander, pressing down with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible; let cool slightly.
- Transfer spinach to a serving bowl, and drizzle with sesame oil, vinegar, and half the toasted sesame seeds. Toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled, and garnish with remaining sesame seeds.

Ben pulls Mary aside to ask her why she's in Buffalo. He arrogantly assumes it's to try to win him back. He tells Mary she's "not mature enough" for a relationship and that she's still hung up on Wilson and Robbie. Mary replies that that's not true, conveniently forgetting that last week she was annoyingly still trying to win Robbie back. Mary tries to convince Ben that she's moving back to Buffalo for some reason other than his presence there, and he tries to scare her off by telling her that he has a girlfriend. Okay, but does his girlfriend know he's out on a blind date right now?
Dopey is with his parents in the CamKitchen, explaining that PC won't talk to him but that she won't go home either, since if she goes home upset, Rabbi Richard will ask her why she's upset and will find out that Dopey gave her a fake, cheap ring. Are you following all this? Don't worry -- you're not missing out on anything. RevCam tries to explain that he'd thought the feelings behind the ring were more important than the ring itself. Dopey replies that PC thinks the fakeness of the ring implies that Matt's feelings are false also. Wow, she's only been a Camden for a few weeks, and already her IQ seems to have diminished by a good fifty points. After Dopey leaves, the CamRents figure out how best to meddle in his problems. Annie says she knows "just the right ring" for PC. Ooh, the suspense. It's killing me.
Up in Ruthie's room, PC is staring down with distaste at her gemette. Ruthie comes in, which must mean it's time for some more of her special counseling. How nice for all of us. She explains to PC that Dopey is merely a bad gift-giver, just like RevCam, who once gave Annie a vacuum cleaner for her birthday. Hey, what's so bad about that? When we first started dating, my husband gave me a cool retro toaster as a gift. According to the authors of The Rules, that's exactly the gift that shows a man's not interested seriously interested in you. I beg to differ. In any case, I'd rather receive a vacuum cleaner than some ugly gimcrack that I'd feel compelled to wear even if I hated it. Of course, when we decided to get married, I asked my husband for an engagement computer rather than an engagement ring, so what do I know? Ruthie natters on some more, finally convincing PC to accept her gemette. She finishes off the lecture by asking, "Have you got it this time? Because I'm a little tired of telling you the same thing over and over again." Believe me, Ruthie, you're not the only one who's tired of this subplot.

Lose the mirror. "It's very confusing to try to follow what you see in the mirror, which is an inverse of what you're doing," says Pecis. Go by feeling instead. Yes, your braid might turn out a little less precise than you'd anticipated, but that messiness is what makes it sexy and cool.

Gain weight. If you want a thicker, lusher braid, resist the urge to pull it apart. "That loosens short, spiky layers," says Pecis. Instead, gently massage it with your thumbs and forefingers until it's big and bulky. And, if your hair is really fine, prep strands with dry shampoo first for fullness.

Gradient lips at Viktor & Rolf Spring 2012. photo: Giovanni Giannoni/WWD South Korea has beauty on lock, and I'm not just talking about BB cream. Lately, it seems like every look I love turns out to be from Korea. It's like they have some kind of mainline right to the pleasure center of my brain, and I guess the fact that every look is either pink, inspired by a baby animal, or both, sort of means they do. I talked to Charlotte Cho, co-founder and CEO of online Korean beauty retailer Soko Glam about three of my favorites.
Gradient lips: "Korean dramas are a huge influence in Korea. On one show a girl did a hot pink gradient lip and it spread like wildfire," says Cho. While gradient lips can be kind of complicated, involving concealer to hide the edges of the lips and a very specific application of several shades of color, "Most girls don't go that far," Cho tells me. Instead, they'll only apply the color directly to the inner part of the lips, and then blend out, so it gets gradually lighter toward the edges, like you just ate a hot pinkAre You Over Your Pixie?

Cut your hair. Personally, I thought avoiding scissors entirely was the fastest way to restore length. Not true, says hairstylist Matt Fugate, who advises getting a neck trim every four weeks. "Always keep the back of a pixie cut looking strong, and build the rest of your hair toward that length, toward a bob," he says. "I always say if you're going to grow it out, grow it out pretty."
Embrace your length. I had no faith that my hair post-pixie was anything but a mistake, so I never once picked up a cool hair accessory or a flatiron or tried a styling wax. Take a cueLove Facial Oils? Get Even More Out of Them

They smell awesome and look really fancy, and yes, I think that is a valid reason to love them. If you're already using facial oils (or just interested...did I mention they make you glow-y?), we've got three new ways to wear them--and each will make your other skin-care products work even better. Just make sure that you always put the oil on last. "Oil can penetrate through creams or lotions, but not vice versa," says cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson.

Here, the three biggest hair-removal issues and how to treat them, through Labor Day and beyond:
Ingrown hairs. These bummers are not only ugly and painful, they basically beg to be picked. Resist! (You could end up with an infection or scarring.) Apply Tend Skin Liquid religiously; the acetylsalicylic acid in it will exfoliate the outer layers of skin and free the hair. Then use it daily to prevent future ingrowns.

A brighter, whiter smile makes you look fresher, healthier, younger--ta-da awesome. But anyone who's tried teeth whitening knows that some methods are kind of painful to your teeth and gums. That sensitivity to whitening products is temporary, but it can be intense. Luckily for you, dentists have a few things you can do to stop, or at least decrease, the ache.
* Do some prep work: A toothpaste with potassium nitrate, like Sensodyne Full Protection, shores up the minerals in teeth and decreases pressure on the nerves, says Jeffrey M. Cole, a former president of the Academy of General Dentistry. He recommends brushing with one for at least two weeks before whitening, and before and after each treatment.

This took more courage than I'd like to admit.
I carefully drew thin dashes along the arch, paying extra attention to the inner corner, to add weight, square off my brows, and add definition. The result?

You're using your bobby pins wrong. See how one side of the pin is bumpy? That side should always, always, always touch your scalp. "It keeps the pin from sliding out," says New York City hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins. "When I teach hairdressers that, it's the biggest aha moment. Like they've been driving on the wrong side of the road."

Half up doesn't literally mean half up. When you pull that much hair up, you leave a skimpy-looking portion down below. The more flattering ratio is 30/70, says Hawkins. To get it, draw a line from ear to ear over the top of your head, like a headband. That front section is your 30 percent.

Great article! I love it details how people overcame the concerns they initially had over using alternative transportation.
Two years ago I starting riding my bike to work every day: 4.5 miles each way from Mountain View to Palo Alto. It only took me 10 minutes longer than driving and I never experienced the unpredictable traffic jams on Hwy 101. On the bike, it was 25 minutes each way, every single day.
Now I work in San Jose so I take Caltrain with my bike for a 50 minute commute. My car commute would only be 20 minutes, but I get 20 minutes email/reading time on the train and 30 minutes on the bike, so I don't feel like I'm wasting any time at all.

Lime Microsystems and Altera team for Universal Wireless Communications Toolkit
March 16, 2012 // Nick Flaherty
UK transceiver designer Lime Microsystems and Altera have teamed up to develop a Universal Wireless Communications Toolkit that allows developers to create wireless protocols of almost any complexity, including flexible M2M and white space systems.
The Toolkit uses Lime's configurable transceiver board linked to an Altera FPGA design kit via a purpose-built high speed mezzanine connection (HSMC) interface board.
The combination of Lime and Altera boards enables almost any wireless application to be easily created, from consumer and enterprise broadband equipment through to bespoke white space, military and GNU Radio applications.
"We believe, this will lead to the development of novel wireless networks at fraction of the cost and time to market," said Ebrahim Bushehri, CEO of Lime. "This is the most versatile platform for the developers of current and future wireless systems; we are delighted to have partnered with Altera to extend the industry leading flexibility of their FPGA solutions to the RF domain."
Lime's LMS6002D is a fully integrated multi-band, multi-standard single-chip RF transceiver for 3GPP (WCDMA/HSPA and LTE), 3GPP2 (CDMA2000) and WiMAX applications. It can be digitally configured to operate in 16 user-selectable bandwidths up to 28MHz. In addition to small cell base stations, Lime's customers are using the IC to create machine to machine (M2M), GNU radio and white space radio applications.
Communication system designs can be quickly implement in Altera's portfolio of 28nm FPGAs, which are tailored to meet a variety of system requirements."FPGAs are well suited to address a diverse market like wireless communications, which is constantly evolving with new standards, frequency bands, size requirements and ongoing cost pressures," said Mike Fitton, senior architect in Altera's Communications Business Unit. "Leveraging Lime's Universal Wireless Communications Toolkit along with our family of tailored 28nm FPGAs allows designers to rapidly create communications systems optimized for their specific requirements."

2011 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab User Reviews
- No trim specified for this review
- Pros
- 4x4 capability, lots of power.
- Cons
- a little thirsty
Purchased As New
Awesome small truck. More manufactures need to make a small truck this good. Love the power of the V6 and the smooth transmission. Love taking it out in the snow and seeing all the big trucks getting stuck! Cab is roomy and has a solid build.
I was deciding between this and the toyota tacoma but chose this because of the better performance.
It's a shame other manufacturers are shying away from small trucks. I didn't like any of the domestics:
Ford Ranger: unchanged and outdated since 2001
Dodge Dakota: Engines are outdated and very thirsty
Chevrolet Colorado: Felt really cheaply built with an inline 5cyl engine that doesn't get any better mileage than a v61 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

One toolbar for solo play which I use keys for, one I switch to for healing. I use keys and the mouse for those, with no particular rule. A few situational ones bound to letter keys, and the mouse for everything else.
Simple fact is that even if you can reach a key faster, I can still get my mouse pointer to the right button before the global cooldown is complete from the last spell, so the mouse pointer movement isn't the limiting factor.
And I hate using modifier keys (ctrl/shift etc) - just gets too confusing and too easy to mishit.

Comments about this watch: This is my favorite Sinn. Just like any Sinn watch, the build quality is excellent. Perfect dimensions. Thin enough to slide under a shirt cuff. Versatile, able to dress up or down. Amazing technology! It's just an all around great watch. The bracelet fits very nice and is easy to size with the included tool. Customer service, as always, was superb.

Comments about this watch: I have to say that when I received my EZM3 I was blown away. It wears larger than it's 40mm size would suggest. Fit and finish are typical Sinn that is to say excellent. Great Watchbuys service to boot. A can't miss in my opinion.

Comments about this watch: Perfect "use any time, go anywhere" watch. Purposeful built, yet dress watch size and handsome looks. The reason the date wheel was done in red is to separate those numbers from the white numbers going around the dial. Would have looked pretty cluttered there around 4 o'clock. Actually makes sense, and the date is still there for you.
"EZM 3 on Strap"
Posted by: Willie
Comments about this watch: I Like the watch a lot. But the red date is hard to read. I am used to wearing 42-44 mm watches and I was worried about the 40mm case. It wears big and I love feel of it. I can say it has been a long time that I could wear a watch all day and forget I have one on. The weight for me is perfect. It's a keeper.

Comments about this watch: A watch made for the German Border Forces was a fitting choice for my own profession here in America. My proclivity for this watch over other divers was its reasonable size of 40 mm. The EZM 3 is appropriate for any setting from formal business meetings to guarding the border. As others have stated, the only feature for which this watch can be criticized is its date wheel. The selected color is difficult to read when ambient light is moderate to low luminosity.

Comments about this watch: Very high quality, perfectly sized watch. Much more wrist presence than I thought it would have.

A little weird getting used to the reverse crown location but it was intended as a functional dive watch. Negatives?

Boso, it's really side to see our own bringing our fellow brothers down. God bless you boso and take care. |
David Rolf is a toko? I didn't knw that, thanks for the heads up bro. |
Yeah, toko is brother in Tongan. Like our word uso. |

Apparently, they wanna emulate you. Hell, you're the queen of the lezbo/gay club,...queen frisco...send them your monthly newsletter..."The Poly Queen Chronicles". Ahahahahahaha! |
My bad,...I meant the three, well actually two admitted gay guys were emulating polyqueer. I know it was before polyqueer's reign as king lezbo but it suits her just as well. |

i just wanna put this out there larry warford, Colby Cameron,jordan poyer is not uso. when u say someone is poly myself they got to be full blooded or 50% that what I considered not 5 to 10,20 percent poly.
me personally, I'm happy to see all my Pacific Islander brothers & sisters succeeding in all foreign lands whether it's Australia,New Zealand,America,UK,etc. We all come from tiny islands in the middle of the South Pacific yet we have the biggest hearts. We must uplift each other, there are not alot of us compared to the rest of the world. Stay up & stay blessed my Islander people.
