Good Tablet that doesPros: Speed and versatility are some of the pluses of this tablet. I was able to work with it for hour's right from the box without draining the battery. In a matter of a short time I was able to root the device, restore my backups from my other device and be up and running. I tested multiple applications that I use with no issues. I have another person at work that has a Nexus 7 and when we put them side by side using a YouTube video, you could not see much difference in the quality. The Nexus did have a slight better color saturation but not that discernible. GPS, wireless, USB client and Bluetooth have worked flawlessly and have been easy to use. I have not tested USB input (host) yet. Cons: Have not had any yet Other Thoughts: I had a cheap chinese brand to get into tablets. It worked well for a year and then I outgrew it. The Acer A110 has been a great step up. I am sold on the 7" form factor. Did you find this review helpful? |
Everything I wantedPros: Solid sturdy unit. Its been dropped on carpeted concrete a couple time with no sign of damage. Cons: Honestly cant think of any. Other Thoughts: I have this, a Nexus 7, and an AGPTek 7, and while the agp may be the most pocketable, it blows in every other way compared to the others. This very much looks and feels like the Nexus, and if you like the Nexus, you'll like this.. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good TabletPros: Good size, very fast, reliable WiFi connections, accurate touchscreen. Unlike many of the 7 inch tablets this has an HDMI out and an SD card slot. I am successfully using s 32gb module in the SD slot. It is as fast as an iPad mini, though somewhat thicker and heavier. Just as usable. Hard to beat this for 199, considering what unexpandable tablets like the Nexus 7 or cheap Chinese knockoffs without Google Play or manufacturer support cost. Cons: If there is one knock against this it is the relatively short 4 hour or so battery life in real world use with the WiFi on. Other Thoughts: I would buy this again. Did you find this review helpful? |
7" Acer IconiaPros: hdmi out, external storage, tegra 3 processor, looks great- I almost didn't buy this because the resolution was a bit lower than some other devices, but honestly, the screen looks the same held side by the others, not a real noticicble difference. Cons: No back camera. Acer? Is being an Acer a con, being a normal desktop builder, I never had a great feeling for Acer one way or another, this product is working well, I guess I'll find out how much I like Acer if /when it breaks and how they support it. Other Thoughts: I wish it had a back camera so we could just take it with us in trips instead of lugging a camera around too. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
good 7" tabletPros: 7" form factor works great, Tegra 3 cpu is incredible, very lightweight, latest OS, very fast screen response. stand by time with this CPU is off the charts compared to the Tegra 2, so 7.5 hours rated life is when you use it consistently and without wifi/gps/bluetooth off I am guessing, but if you use it off and on with wifi/gps on it should last all day. Cons: Screen could be a lot better, it does not have that wide of viewing angle ranges, and its not as easy to read as I am used to with my Asus. Other Thoughts: I use an Asus transformer TF300, and got this Acer a110 for my mom who wanted something in the 7" size. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
Just when we thought this divisive issue would come to a close, the City Council pulled a Houdini-like sleight of hand and voted to amend the proposal before them, creating a "limited" LHD with five structures … count them … five in this new narrow district on the Ridge.
Meanwhile, the fate of the three-plus years' long LHD effort remains unclear. Are we finished? Is this the end? Unlikely.
First, there is the nebulous language that leaves anti-LHD folks on edge. Have we now created a Trojan horse whose hidden door could drop open in the middle of a quiet City Council meeting night and magically the district will be expanded?
Secondly, what is to become of a newly expanded demolition delay? Will developers now have to wait two years before taking down a "historic" home? (Does anyone really believe that an arbitrary construction date makes a home historic or worth saving?)
My fear is that, with this latest council move, our city has suddenly started to mimic national and state politics with rushed last-minute moves that avoid details and public scrutiny. Why is it that contemporary politicians can't seem to come to a decision and then move on. Everything lingers. Obamacare is passed (in the dead of night with procedural chicanery) … we continue to debate it. The fiscal cliff approaches annually, we pass Band-Aids, keep debating, kick the problem down the road with no serious solutions in sight. You get the point. We're losing our ability to productively govern as a nation, as a state and now as a municipality. It is very discouraging for the majority of our citizens.
The LHD is becoming a symbol of what is wrong with the American governing process today. I'm not talking about whether you like and respect old houses. We wouldn't live in Newburyport if we didn't love the look of all of them. My concern is that we are not productively governing. Our elected officials no longer do their jobs. They are all afraid to make decisions out of fear that they will not be re-elected. This has been an evolving problem for the last few decades and has been exacerbated over the past 10 years. Municipalities have been immune, for the most part, from this "we'll deal with it later" approach. However, I fear Newburyport has now begun to enter this political "Twilight Zone."
Why the Houdini act with a last-minute amendment after the taxpayers funded a three-year study that yielded divisive results … it was clearly a "no go." The council should vote on the proposal that is before them. Instead, we are dragging this out.
With respect to the five structures on the Ridge (eight residences) … why do we need a new district and associated overhead to accommodate a select few? It has been mentioned several times by many of us that, for those who want to protect their homes, they simply need to spend a few hundred dollars and file a restriction on their deed prohibiting tear-down of their properties. One can't help but suspect passing this narrow district is a setup for some type of trickery and expansion down the road.
Simply put, Newburyport officials need to rise above and do their jobs. Make the tough calls and be done with it. LHD … Let's Hasten a Decision.

"It is easy to build a philosophy - it doesn't have to run"
Charles F. Kettering
"Very often we are our own worst enemy as we foolishly build stumbling blocks on the path that leads to success and happiness."
Louis Binstock
"The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man nothing else that he builds ever lasts monuments fall; nations perish; civilization grow old and die out; new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men's hearts, of the hearts of men centuries dead."
Clarence Day
"You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening"
Daisaku Ikeda
"Nothing is built on stone; all is built on sand, but we must build as if the sand were stone"
Jorge Luis Borges
"We now know a thousand ways not to build a light bulb"
Thomas Alva Edison
"Wherever God erects a house of prayer, The Devil always builds a chapel there; And 'twill be found, upon examination, The latter has the largest congregation"
Daniel Defoe
"The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid."
Thomas Kempis
"So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.'"
Tommy Cooper
"When I build something for somebody, I always add $50 million or $60 million onto the price. My guys come in, they say it's going to cost $75 million. I say it's going to cost $125 million, and I build it for $100 million. Basically, I did a lousy job. But they think I did a great job."
Donald Trump

It's popularity among celebrity chefs, cooking magazines, top foodies, bloggers and competition BBQ teams have made the Thermapen into an essential tool in the best-equipped home kitchens and backyard BBQ rigs. Made by Hand in England, the Thermapen is faster and more accurate than any other cooking thermometer on the market. Competitors have tried to copy the Thermapen with mass-produced products made in China and have flooded the housewares market with slower, less-accurate knock-offs. However, when compared to true competing commercial thermocouple thermometers, the Thermapen is not only faster and more accurate, it's also less expensive! The Super-Fast™ Thermapen™ has been a favorite among restaurant chains, health inspectors and quality managers worldwide. Hundreds of thousands are in use. The clever fold-away probe and the simple pocket design replace more costly and bulky handheld thermometers while using the same professional thermocouple technology. This new generation Thermapen introduces a robust, splash-proof design with molded-in seals to protect the thermometer from wet hands and kitchen splashes. Speed & Accuracy No Cables! Simple Operation Incredible Value
Download Splash-Proof Thermapen Operating Instructions Download Splash-Proof Thermapen Calibration Procedure Complimentary Guidebook with every Thermapen Purchase Order a Thermapen today and we'll throw in a copy of our new 20 page guidebook: "Using Your Thermapen: A Guide to Better Food Through the Proper Use and Care of Your Splash-Proof Thermapen" at no extra charge. The guide features basic cooking temperature principles, step-by-step instructions for customizing and cleaning your Thermapen, special considerations for getting just the right doneness with meat, poultry and fish, QuickTips, Frequently Asked Questions, diagrams, and more. Plus, there's a handy chart of food safety and chef-recommended temperatures on the back! If you own a Thermapen and don't have a guidebook but would like one, Request a guidebook to have one mailed to you. Available in Multiple Colors Originally, we manufactured the Thermapen in gray only. Later we added all the food-safety color-coding versions. Many people in the food industry use color coding to prevent cross contamination by dedicating tools to specific food products. That way, a knife, cutting board or thermometer that is used for say, raw poultry, won't end up contaminating fresh vegetables like salad greens. That was the reason we did multiple colors for the Thermapen. Of course most people buy a color variety simply according to personal preference. Even in commercial applications it seems most people buy colors so they can quickly tell who belongs to which Thermapen (blue is Fred's, yellow is Cathy's, etc…) In 2006 we added black and orange which aren't even on the color coding system. If you have a color preference that we don't make yet, email Randy and we'll keep track of your vote. Standard Color Code: Don't Pay More Than $96 for a ThermapenTo avoid confusion, buy direct from ThermoWorks.com, or authorized dealers. You shouldn't pay more than about $96 each. Caring for Your ThermapenThe Super-Fast Thermapen is a professional temperature tool that requires a bit of cleaning and care to keep it operating at peak performance. For best results, follow these tips to increase the useful life of your Thermapen: Tenderloin For TwoWith a few of these best practices including, a great thermometer like the Super-Fast Thermapen you can turn your beef tenderloin into several romantic dinners for two. 1. Where can I buy the Thermapen? 2. Why don't more retail outlets carry it? 3. Where can I buy replacement batteries? 4. How long should the battery last? 5. Will the Thermapen tell me when my meat is done? 6. Other digital cooking thermometers are cheaper. Why pay more for a Thermapen? 7. Why is the Thermapen so much faster than other cooking thermometers? 8. Why don't you have a left-handed Thermapen? Don't buy that? While the Thermapen isn't quite as ambidextrously switchable as a screwdriver or a hammer, it's pretty close. It can easily be gripped in a number of ways. I hold my Thermapen in both my left hand and right hand depending on what I'm doing. Still I empathize with anybody who's left-handed and wishes the Thermapen were reversed. So, if our engineers can ever figure out a no-cost way to do that in the next Thermapen, we'll consider doing it. Don't take our word for it.

Problem Identified for Gallery Force Close Issues
I noticed that a number of users have reported that they usually have gallery force close issues after some apps updates from time to time so I attempted to duplicate and identify the issue for sure and was able to finally trace the problem down to a small .nomedia file that apps place into there program folders to stop the image files from the apps to show into the media gallery to avoid the images or audio files from being accidently deleted. Others thought that the nature of the problem has been because of a corrupt file but in the end it was the .nomedia files. Apparently this confuses the Gallery app because a number of files will be present in cache that this file hides from the system and this seems to cause the Gallery to act as if a corrupt file is present, this also seems to effect the camera app from time to time.
Also remember that the solution will clear the personal settings data from Swipe and sometimes clears alerts settings that can be restored from Titianium Backup easily.. So backup before doing solution to avoid headaches..
The fix this issue is to goto Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All Tab/ Media Storage and then clear the Cache, then reboot and then open gallery and allow images to be scanned and added back to te gallery (This may take a little time depending on the number of files)

awesome wildman.. thank you...
just wanna add that media cache clearing will also affect your music app, like stock, PwerAMP, and Winamp... you may need to got to the music app afterwards, hit settings, and do a simple "rescan folders".. :-)
list will also fix issues if songs are appearing twice (duplicates) in your playlists.. :-)If I helped you, then please hit the "Thanks" and/or "Like" button(s). I like to know I'm not just here for amusement.

OMG, this was driving me crazy too. I just stumbled on this thread, but.....I thought that the rooting of my phone messed it up....yea, I'm a newbie. (Don't judge me!)Anyways, after I installed the leaked OTA of GB it started working again. So needless to say, I thought, um I'll never root again . Guess I need to do a little more researching before I give up root. Thanks!!
Tried this and no solution for me. When I tap gallery it just starts to open then closes right away. If I go into the camera app then to the gallery from there it opens up just fine. What the heck? Any ideas???

I noticed I developed this problem after I removed some photos from the media card via the usb connection with my computer. The original instructions worked for me.
UtahConcealer - In addition to the above procedures, you ALSO need to clear the DATA (if you clear just Cache, it may not work).
THEN you must also clear both Data & Cache of the Media Container Service.
So you need to clear Data AND Cache for:
1. Gallery
2. Media Storage
3. Media Container Service
Reboot after that and you should be good to go.
Note that you will also lose any playlists (so make sure they are backed up if you want to keep them, and then you can later restore them). Plus you will have to re-setup any ringtones you had.

I tried removing the data as suggested but I am still having the problem. Any more solutions? I have a Thunderbolt if that makes any difference.
I had the same problem and found a simple fix:
Some apps (especially Glu games...looking at you Gun Bros.) install a small .jpg image file as part of their install. All you have to do is delete this image and all will be well.
Do this:
Plug your X into your computer via USB and search your image folder. Look for an image that doesn't belong...it's usually the one with the different naming convention, and one that you know you didn't put there. Delete it, unhook from USB and launch your gallery! - 05-16-2011, 09:35 AM #17

There are plenty of places on this watery planet where diving is a casual activity. But there are a few locales where it absolutely permeates the culture, taking over every resort, beach parking lot and waterside bar where fish tales resonate across the sand. These are dive islands, places where no one would think of doing anything but. Here are eight of our favorite specks of land where the dive flag rules, and why we keep coming back.
Big Island
A tropical escape where dive tanks are as requisite an adornment as leis, what keeps divers flocking to the Big Island is its five marine-life-conservation districts — twice as many as any other Hawaiian Island. Read more.
When the full moon rises high over the mangroves in Yap, it shines down on Colonia Town like a heavenly beacon. Read more.
Roatán is one of the most laid-back of the Caribbean islands, which, when you think about it, is quite an accomplishment. Read more.
Little Cayman
There's no question that people recognize Grand Cayman as a diving mecca, but Little Cayman, just 90 miles from its big-sister counterpart, seems to be solely dedicated to the sport. Read more.
Heron Island
Diving on Heron Island is pretty much like having the master key to Disneyland and the ability to lock the gate behind you. Read more.
If you were given your choice of afterlife and you chose a diver's heaven, chances are it would look a lot like the Republic of Palau. Read more.
Bonaire is known as "the shore-diving capital of the world," and it really does feel purpose-built for divers, with gently sloping reefs, sheer walls, world-class wrecks, and colorful corals and marine life all within a few steps of the coastline. Read more.
A constant stream of divers has helped shape the economy and culture of Cozumel like no other island. Read more.

Democracy in Action: Guns N'Roses
Phil Sutcliffe, Q, July 2001
THURSDAY IS a low-key night at The Cat on Sunset. Proprietor, Slim Jim Phantom, ex-Stray Cats drummer and current self-styled Prince Of The Strip, has fun "slaughtering the FM classics" with his bar band The Starfuckers, featuring ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke. But Thursday June 22 last year turned out to be something special: the night W. Axl Rose sang in public for the first time since the Use Your Illusion tour ended in 1993.

MISSION — A teenager died Tuesday night in a McAllen hospital after he and another man were dropped off with gunshot wounds, police said.
Mission Police Chief Leo Longoria said Efrain Reyna, 17, of Mission was killed in the shooting at Glasscock and Trinity roads in The Cimarron neighborhood. Reyna was a student at Sharyland High School.
Jose Alfredo Cano, 23, was in stable condition Wednesday afternoon, Longoria said. He was brought to McAllen Medical Center in a white Toyota Tundra along with Reyna.
Tuesday night around 8:20 p.m., Longoria said police responded to a call about people fighting on the road with rounds being fired. Police later received calls that a truck and silver Mercedes SUV had fled the scene.
Mission police eventually came in contact with the SUV during a traffic stop and detained four people.
"We've linked one of them to the shooting," Longoria said.
Longoria said police were still investigating the shooting to find a motive in the incident. The suspected linked to the shooting was expected to be arraigned on Thursday.
Sharyland Independent School District Superintendent Scott Owings issued a statement on Wednesday explaining that the counselors would initiate a grieving event for students.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of a young life; our condolences go out to his family," Owings said. "Unfortunately, we cannot control everything that goes on outside of school; but our parents and students should rest assured that we take seriously the safety of our students at school and take appropriate measures."

Jacqueline Halbloom
Jacqueline Halbloom, now in her 14th year in classical public radio, currently serves as Iowa Public Radio's producer and host of Symphonies of Iowa, Performance Iowa and Iowa Arts Showcase. In addition to her on-air duties, Jacqueline serves on the Friends board of UNI's Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center. A true lover of music and public radio, Jacqueline is indeed a great advocate for the fine arts in Iowa.
She brings to her work a background both practical and theoretical: Bachelor and Master's degrees in Music Education, which she used as a teacher of orchestra students. As a player, she performed in the viola section of the Eugene Symphony, the Des Moines Symphony, and Cedar Rapids Symphony (now known as Orchestra Iowa). She is adequately familiar with the numerous slanders against the viola versus the violin. (Why is a viola more useful than a violin? Being larger, it burns longer). Even after many bad jokes, Jacqueline remains positive about music and public radio's ability to enrich the lives of all who listen.
Jacqueline's favorite shows are University Concert and Choral Tradition.
Iowa Arts Showcase on IPR Classical
For one hour each month Jacqueline Halbloom will highlight the efforts and activities of non-profit arts and culture organizations throughout Iowa. She will focus on performing arts organizations, festivals, visual arts organizations, and other cultural centers. Iowa Arts Showcase will shine a light on the contributions of arts organizations to Iowa communities.

Name that Tomato!
Wow! Thanks to everyone for participating in the contest. What a great response! Just goes to show how much we all love our tomatoes.
The correct answer is 'Arkansas Traveler' and the winner is Mike Lyons.
Can you name this tomato variety?
Answer correctly for a chance to win a tomato t-shirt from Bonnie Plants. Leave your response in the comments section below. I'll select a winner by random drawing on Wednesday June 6, 2012. Click here for the official rules.
Here are a few clues.
- It's an heirloom that originated in the Ozark Mountains before 1900.
- Keeps producing during periods of drought and hot weather.
- Mild fruits with pink coloring are produced on indeterminate vines.
Need more help? Search the Bonnie Plants tomato selector.
5 Tips for Growing Better Tomatoes
Don't plant too early! Flowering and pollination that occurs when temperatures are below 55 degrees F can result in malformed, poor quality fruits. This is also referred to as catfacing.
Plant deeply. Remove the lower leaves and plant your tomatoes as deeply as you can dig into loose, rich soil. Up to 2/3 of the plant can be buried. New roots will develop along the buried stem. Don't believe me? Read more about planting tomatoes deeply on BonniePlants.com.
Tomatoes prefer a slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH of 6.0 to 7.0) rich in phosphorous and calcium. To increase calcium, add crushed eggshells or a spoonful of bone meal when planting.
Tomatoes don't like fluctuating moisture levels. Water consistently and cover the soil with mulch to retain moisture. Avoid overhead watering as it encourages leaf disease.
Staking is important to expose leaves to sunlight and keep fruits off the ground where they may come into contact with soil borne diseases, or slugs and snails. Get the stakes in early so you don't have to worry about damaging mature root systems.

thigh socks
December 24, 2012
I have been looking for some warm socks that are also thigh length. These are nice quality and fair price. I would recommend these for women looking to keep their legs warm.
Pros: Great design, Ease of use, Cons: CostKnee Highs or Leg Warmers
December 17, 2012
I love the height/length of these socks! The heather grey is great and they are warm just like all my smart wools. I wear them tall under my pants, peaking out over the tops of my boots, or bunched up around my ankles like leg warmers. My only complaint is that I wish I would have bought them in black before M sold out.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueGood but disappointed
February 06, 2013
I was super excited to receive these sock, and even more excited that companies were making thigh high socks. Unfortunately these socks are very very thin! Even though they are wool there are more like a nylon/tight than a sock. The stitching pattern on the thigh is a bit weird, you can't tell the pattern changes in the pictures but it does. And it's not really flattering. Looks more like an old worn sock pattern and not a brand new sock. Kind of disappointing from Smartwool! The size is WAY off too! I'd recommend sizing up to your next size! The price is definitely too high for the quality of these socks! Find a coupon code if you can.

Hot answers tagged diacritics
Accents are important anywhere you want to use formal language, look professional, etc. Places where using "correct" Spanish is important. Writing an article for publication, a letter to a superior, in exams.
Despite what other people say in their answers, leaving out accents doesn't result in sore eyes, confused readers, hard to read text. If you're ...
In my opinion the accents are very important to ease the readability of your text. Because Spanish is a inflectional language, we make from a single root many words (e.g. verbal conjugation) whose only difference is which syllable has the stress:
El camino (the road)
Él caminó (he walked)
Yo camino (I walk)
And also, we have the diacritic ...
To split the diphthong "uo", otherwise it would be pronounced [bu'o], with the stress in the "o".
Se tilda para romper el diptongo /uo/: si no se tildara sería una
palabra monosílaba /buó/; gracias a la tilde es bisílaba /bú-o/.
Yes, there are specific rules about accents, and all vowels can be accented, it's not about the vowel, but about ...
After the last edition of the "Gramática Española" "o" never has an accent mark. Until now the accent was used when "o" was between numbers (so it can't be confused with a 0).
From RAE, nueva gramática
Supresión de la tilde diacrítica en la conjunción disyuntiva o escrita entre cifras
Hasta ahora se venía recomendando escribir con tilde la ...
Yes, there are other pairs of words which can be written with and without accent marks; for example (definitions taken from the DRAE):
omóplato u omoplato. (Del lat. omoplăte, y este del gr. ὠμοπλάτη).
m. Anat. Cada uno de los dos huesos anchos, casi planos, situados a uno y otro lado de la espalda, donde se articulan los húmeros y las
There are three main categories of words in Spanish, according to what syllable the stress falls on: agudas, llanas o graves and esdrújulas. Let's see what these terms mean.
Words are divided in syllables. In order to know what syllable gets the tilde, you need to count the syllables. The counting starts from the last syllable towards the beginning of the ...
In 2010, RAE made a number of changes in Spanish spelling. One of them was exclusion of the graphical accent in monosyllabic words with diphtongs or triphthongs: guion, truhan, fie, liais, etc.
First, RAE introduced strict rules to define what is a diphtong for spelling purposes:
an open vowel (/a/, /e/, /o/) followed or preceded by a closed unstressed ...
Accents are essential when there is a possibility of confusion.
The Real Academia Española recognizes that there are occasions when accents may be omitted. The words éste or
aquél, for example, don't require an accent when there is no risk of confusing the word with the adjective.
By comparison, o should have an accent when it comes between numerals, in ...
To a true Mexican, a properly placed accent shows respect for the purity of the written language as the accent is most often used in proper names and I am sure that you yourself would not much appreciate a mispronunciation of your name. For example, the letter "i" in my name is not dotted, it carries an accent over the i and I always make use of the accent ...
It's just a matter of stress. If the stressed syllable is the first one, you don't write the accent. If it's the last one, you do.
You know, the rule states that "if the stress is in the last syllable and it ends in vowel, n or s, you must write the accent".
Besides, está and esté are forms of the verb estar, whereas esta and este are demonstratives or ...
I agree with what is said in JoulSauron's answer. The "beginner's" answer to the question is that it looks like a two-syllable word to us but it would be pronounced "bwo" without the accent as the "h" is silent.
The basic rule is the stress is on the second last syllable unless you have a written accent to tell you otherwise. There are exceptions to this ...
Wikipedia explains it pretty well. It was invented by the Greeks, to mark a vowel that shouldn't be combined with adjacent ones into a diphthong or new sound. With that sense it's been used ever since, even in English (although this usage is almost extint). The word diaeresis means separation; crema comes from trema, which is Ancient Greek for pip (of dice), ...
There are thousands of dictionary lemmas with multiple spellings. By doing some crazy scripting, I've compiled a list of some 4000+. Many times, the distinguishing element is an accent, but most of the time it's a letter insertion, deletion or substitution.
I can't post all of them here without cluttering everything up, but for the sake of completeness, ...
It's not thaaaat important, people would still understand what you're trying to write if you miss some accents.
However, if you miss one, it will look like a stain in the paper.
Of course there are some words that DO NEED the accent because it changes the complete meaning of the word.. like "mas" and "más" or "él" and "el"

AMD's September launch party could bring Barcelona
It looks like AMD will raise the curtain on its Barcelona server processor at George Lucas' office on September 10.
The company's PR firm sent out invitations to "the most anticipated premiere of 2007," which I would have thought was The Simpsons Movie (go see it, it's better than I thought it would be), but which for AMD is most definitely Barcelona, its long-awaited quad-core server processor.
AMD needs Barcelona to get its server division back on track. The company has been forced to cut the prices of its dual-core Opteron chips to compete with Intel'… Read more

See Bacon House, Noble Street.
See Red Lyon Yard, Houndsditch.
South out of Cheapside, in Farringdon Ward Within (Strype, 'Sd. 1720 and 1755).
See Fountain Court.
Out of White's Alley, Coleman Street (Lockie,1810-Elmes, 1831).
Not named in the maps.
West out of Old Bailey, in Farringdon Ward Without, south of Ship Court (O. and M. 1677).
Site now occupied by business houses.
South out of Upper Thames Street to Bull Wharf. In Vintry Ward (Elmes, 1831).
First mention: 1543 (L. and P. H. VIII. XVIII. Pt. I, p.202).
Other forms of name: " Sheppardes Alley," 1600-1 (Ct. H.W. II. 727). " Sheep-herds Alley" (Rocque, 1746). " Shepheards Alley" (Strype's maps, ed. 1720 and 1755). "Sheepshead Alley " (W. Stow, 1722).
In 1543 it is described as " Mede Lane " alias " Shepherds alley," but it can hardly be identified with "Mede Lane" alias "Maiden Lane," so that possibly the description is due to some confusion of names. The alley and wharf adjoining belonged to St. Bartholomew's Priory at this date (L. and P. H. VIII. XVIII. Pt. I, p.202).
The site is now occupied by the Falkirk Iron Warehouse (q.v.).

See Shepherd's Alley.
East out of Minories at No.30. In Holy Trinity Minories precinct (P.O. Directory).
Former names: "Shipey's Yard" (O. and M. 1677). "Shippey's Yard" (Hatton, 1708-Strype, 1755). " Shepherds Garden" (Rocque, 1746). " Ship Yard " (Lockie, 1810). " Sheppy Yard " (O.S. 5 ft. 1875 to 1897) (L.C.C. List of Streets, 1902).
It seems probable from the earlier forms that the name was derived from the builder or owner of the property.
South out of King William Street, at No.2, to 1 Abchurch Yard (P.O. Directory). In Waibrook Ward. Earliest mention: 1557 (Ct. H.W. II. 666).
Former names and forms of name: " Shitteborwelane," 1272-3 (ib. 1.13). "Shiteburn lane," 22 Ed. I. (Ch. I. p.m. 136). " Shiteb(ur)uelane," 1300 (Ct. H.W. I. 147). "Shiteburlane," 1303-4 (ib. 162). "Schiteburuelaue," 1305 (ib. 171). "Shitheburniane," 1311 (ib. 220). " Shitebournelane," 1313 (ib. 240). " Shiteburgh lane," 1321 (Cal. P.R. Ed. II. 1317-21, p. 589). " Schetebournelane," 17 Ed. III. (Anc. Deeds, B. 2103). "Schittebourne lane," 1348-9 (Ct. H.W. I. 528). " Shetebournelane," 41 Ed. III. 2nd, Nos. 40 (Ch. I. p.m.). "Scheteboruelane," 1370 (Ct. H.W. II. 136). "Shitbourn lane," 1394-5 (Cal. L. Bk. H. p.421). " Shirbouruelane" otherwise "Shetbouruelane," 1467 (Ct. H.W. II. 586). "Sithebourne Lane," 1532 (L. and P. H. VIII. V. p. 690). "Shetenborn Lane," 1539 (ib. XIV. Pt. 2, p.591).
The earliest forms of the name are therefore : " Shitteborwelane," " Shite-burn lane," " Shite-buruelane," and the form " shir " does not occur until the 15th century.
Stow's derivation from the stream turning south and breaking into small shares, rills, or streams, and so giving the name Shareborne Lane or Southborne Lane must be left out of account as a possible derivation, inasmuch as it ignores the earliest forms of the name to be found.
The first syllable " shitte," " shite," "schite," presents considerable difficulty, and it is hard to See from what A.S. word it can be derived, as the suggested derivation from A. S. "scir "= a share, "sciran "= to divide, seems to leave the "t" out of account. The word "borwe," "borue" suggests O.E. "burh," "burgh," "borough," rather than "burn" or "bourne," as the original form. "Burgh "= fortress, walled town, later perhaps "a mansion," "fortified house."
Where the word occurs as a place name, as in Shirburn in Oxfordshire, Sherbourn in Warwickshire, and Sherborne in Dorsetshire, the earliest forms are: "Scirburne," "Scireburne," "Shirburn," "Sireburn," "Shyreborn"; and the derivation is regular enough.
The early forms here suggest the personal names " Schet," "Scheot," "Scytta.,"
Prior to the formation of King William Street, 1832, this lane extended into Langbourn Ward, and was considerably longer than it is at the present time. Its northern end communicating with St. Swithin's Lane was cut off for the formation of King William Street.
See Sermon Lane.
Old English "scir-gerefa "=an officer appointed in Saxon times to administer justice within the shire or county.
London has two sheriffs, elected annually by the livery men of the City. Frequent references to their elections occur in the City records, as well as to the maintenance of their authority within the City against the King's officers.
Jurisdiction distinct from that of the Sheriffs of Middlesex.
In 1308 the King directed a writ to the Sheriff of Middlesex as to the right of Master Wm. de Ewelle, Canon of St. Paul's, to a tenement in the parish of St. Giles without Crepelgate. But the Sheriff returned answer that he could not execute the writ, as it was not within his bailiwick, but within the precinct of the liberty of the City of London (Cal. L. Bk. C. p.160-1).
In 1227 the King granted to the citizens of London the Sheriffdom of London and Middlesex on payment of 300 marks yearly at the Exchequer (Cal. Ch. Rolls, H. III. I. I226-57, p.137).
In 1236 the Sheriffs of London and the Sheriff of Middlesex appear as separate witnesses to a deed (Anc. Deeds, B. 2376). They are again mentioned separately in 1283 (Cal. L. Bk. A. p.75).
In 1321-2 the writ to the Sheriff of Middlesex is in the same terms as that addressed to the Sheriffs of London, Is Ed. II. (Cal. L. Bk. E. p.163).
The two offices do not seem to have been directly separated until the Local Government Act, 1888.
In 1291, at the Sheriff's Court, allusion is made to the four benches of the Court, for whom assessors appeared in the Court.
The Sheriffs had jurisdiction over the Compters, or prisons, which in early times were often in the Sheriff's houses.
See Compters.
The precincts and privileged places in the City were exempt from their jurisdiction down to the end of the 17th century.

Wagner cushions savings
Additional labor savings were realized in handling and stocking pallets of the inserts. According to Isaacson half of a forklift operator's day was spent transporting the corrugated inserts to the packaging area. The driver was also appreciative of the change. According to Isaacson "He said he almost could have hugged me."
In addition pallet space for storing packaging inserts was reduced from 52 pallet spaces to two freeing up valuable space.
Isaacson calls the start-up exemplary. "I've never had a company do such a thorough professional job of an install" he says. "I've often told people if there's a company to mimic on doing a good install it's Sealed Air." —RL

As I look forward to the weekend game and the cross-state rivalry, I wondered if this match up could come down to how well each quarterback does. As a loyal Steelers' fan, I'll pick Roethlisberger any day, but I wonder how these two match up. If this is a quarterback-driven league as many analysts claim, then the quarterback comparison must stand for something. Obviously people can twist statistics to say anything they want, but I think a comparison will show these two quarterbacks have very different instincts.
If you compare, height, weight, and age – Roethlisberger has a type of advantage and Vick has another:
Roethlisberger | Vick | |
Height | 6' 5" | 6' 0" |
Weight | 241 lbs | 215 lbs |
Age | 30 | 32 |
Both quarterbacks like to extend plays, but Roethlisberger's size helps him withstand the defensive hits better than Vick. Yet, if you need a quarterback to tuck the ball in and run, Vick's ability to scramble out of a collapsing pocket and run for yards is better than Roethlisberger's.
Now look at their career statistics. They both have played a similar number of games. Ben's quarterback rating is higher. Vick's rating probably took a hit this year with his large number of interceptions. The other numbers I chose to focus on paint a picture that probably wouldn't surprise anyone. Ben likes to throw the ball and Vick's rushing numbers are pretty high.
Roethlisberger | Vick | |
Games played | 117 | 115 |
Passing Attempts | 3,433 | 2,693 |
Passing completion % | 63.3 | 56.1 |
Passing TDs | 173 | 115 |
INTs | 101 | 78 |
Rushing Attempts | 296 | 756 |
Rushing TDs | 14 | 34 |
Sacks | 323 | 255 |
Fumbles | 55 (26 lost) | 81 (37 lost) |
However, within the obvious passing versus rushing dominance in the numbers, I see two quarterbacks with different instincts and I think it makes a difference in this league. It seems a bit significant that Vick is criticized for not staying in the pocket and figuring out how to get the ball to his receivers while Roethlisberger is criticized for staying in the pocket too long and taking too many hits. The critics put them on opposite ends of the spectrum, but if you bring both of them back to the center, at what point do they lose what makes them unique and qualified to be an NFL quarterback? I think this is a little bit of that going on with both teams in response to the criticisms. Both teams are worried about the long-term durability of their highly-paid quarterbacks and that's legitimate. However, if you push them away from their instincts too much, the quarterback could become ineffective.
We scrutinize the quarterback, but he isn't the only player on the field. These numbers don't tell the whole story. None do. Aristotle said "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." We might see dueling #7's during Sunday's game, but it is really about the teams. Hopefully, the bye week benefited the Steelers and they can move on from a lackluster start to the season. We all can find flaws on both sides of the ball, but when the parts come together, they need to be able to make up for problems on either side. I hope to see a game where the instincts of the quarterback don't make or break the game.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has a 42 - 35 percent job approval, the first time since his inauguration in 2011 that registered voters have given him a thumbs-up rating, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.
Gov. Kasich seems to be benefitting from high levels of satisfaction among Ohio voters with life in the Buckeye State. But the governor does not deserve a second term, voters tell the independent Quinnipiac University poll by an almost identical 43 - 36 percent margin.
All voters say 44 - 37 percent that another Republican should challenge the governor for the 2014 nomination. By 45 - 41 percent, self-described Republicans say no other Republican should challenge Kasich.
By a 40 - 34 percent margin, Ohio voters have a favorable opinion of Kasich, while 24 percent haven't heard enough about him to form an opinion. Former Gov. Ted Strickland gets a 41 - 29 percent favorability, with 29 percent who haven't heard enough.
Among other possible 2014 candidates for governor, Richard Cordray of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed Fitzgerald and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, the "don't know enough" scores range from 70 percent to 84 percent.
"Things are looking better for Gov. John Kasich," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "But it is not all blue skies as Gov. Kasich enters the last half of his term. His job approval rating is positive for the first time among registered voters, although he started getting positive scores in Quinnipiac University surveys of likely voters during the presidential race."
From December 4 - 9, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,165 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.

June 07, 2008
TUCSON, Ariz. -- The arm of NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander released a handful of clumpy Martian soil onto a screened opening of a laboratory instrument on the spacecraft Friday, but the instrument did not confirm that any of the sample passed through the screen.
Engineers and scientists on the Phoenix team assembled at the University of Arizona are determining the best approach to get some of that material into the instrument. Meanwhile, the team has developed commands for the spacecraft to use cameras and the Robotic Arm on Saturday to study how strongly the soil from the top layer of the surface clings together into clumps.
Images taken Friday show soil resting on the screen over an open sample-delivery door of Phoenix's Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, or TEGA, an instrument for identifying some key ingredients. The screen is designed to let through particles up to one-millimeter (0.04 inch) across while keeping out larger particles, in order to prevent clogging a funnel pathway to a tiny oven inside. An infrared beam crossing the pathway checks whether particles are entering the instrument and breaking the beam.
The researchers have not yet determined why none of the sample appears to have gotten past the screen, but they have begun proposing possibilities.
"I think it's the cloddiness of the soil and not having enough fine granular material," said Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis, the Phoenix team's science lead for Saturday and digging czar for the mission.
"In the future, we may prepare the soil by pushing down on the surface with the arm before scooping up the material to break it up, then sprinkle a smaller amount over the door," he said.
Another strategy under consideration is to use mechanical shakers inside the TEGA instrument differently than the five minutes of shaking that was part of the sample-receiving process on Friday. No activities for the instrument are planned for Saturday, while the team refines plans for diagnostic tests.
Phoenix's planned activities for Saturday include horizontally extending a trench where the lander dug two practice scoops earlier this week, and taking additional images of a small pile of soil that was scooped up and dropped onto the surface during the second of those practice digs.
"We are hoping to learn more about the soil's physical properties at this site," Arvidson said. "It may be more cohesive than what we have seen at earlier Mars landing sites."
The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith at the University of Arizona with project management at JPL and development partnership at Lockheed Martin, Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

Master List of Characters
King Arthur—The legendary king of Britain, at whose court the story begins. Husband of Guinivere and uncle of Gawain, he presides over the famed Knights of the Round Table at Camelot, which are the subject of numerous romances from the start of the Middle Ages through the present. Some scholars believe he was originally a tribal chieftain in Britain, while others trace him to a solar deity.
Queen Guinevere—The wife of Arthur. According to legend, she had an affair with Sir Lancelot which brought about the fall of the Round Table. Her adversary is the enchantress Morgan le Fay, who, we learn at the end of the poem, conjured the Green Knight in order to terrify Guinevere.
Sir Gawain—The nephew of Arthur and a knight. He accepts the challenge of the Green Knight, whom he must behead, then seek out next year (see separate section).
Bishop Baldwin—Religious figure, who in the beginning of the poem, sits next to King Arthur
The Duke of Clarence—Attends the feast in the beginning of the poem.
Sir Ywain, Sir Eric, Sir Dodinal le Sauvage, Sir Bors, Sir Bedivere,
Sir Lionel, Sir Lucan the Good and Sir Mador de la Porte—Knights of the Round Table.

Sir Gawain
Sir Gawain, the bravest, most virtuous of the Knights of the Round Table. He accepts the Green Knight's challenge to uphold the honor of Arthur's court and sets out in autumn on the quest that is essentially a test of his virtue. Temptation awaits him at the castle of Bercilak de Hautdesert, where he must resist the amorous attentions of his hostess without violating the courtesy he owes her as her guest and, at the same time, keep his bargain with his host to exchange whatever he receives at home for the game Bercilak kills while he hunts. Gawain is faithful for two days, but on the third he succumbs to his fear for his life and accepts from the lady a green girdle that protects its wearer from injury. This very human lapse brings him a mild wound from the Green Knight, and he returns to Arthur's court a chastened, shamefaced hero.
