A sharp re-creation of Epiphone's classic thinline hollowbody.
The 50th Anniversary "1962" Sorrento E452TDN Outfit features a laminated maple top and body, a mahogany neck with a 1960s SlipTaper™ profile, a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, 20 medium jumbo frets, historically accurate binding and tortoise style pickguard, and Gibson USA mini-humbuckers. Like the Casino, the Sorrento is a completely hollow design that makes for a lightweight guitar with a wide range of tones.
The Tune-o-matic™ floating bridge has a rosewood bridge base with a reissue of the original classic trapeze tailpiece. The Sorrento's electronics are top-notch Epiphone quality with CTS potentiometers, a ¼" non-rotating output jack, and gold TopHat controls to go along with Wilkinson™ Vintage Style machine heads with small buttons and a 14:1 tuning ratio. The dovewing headstock has a classic Epiphone metal logo badge and there is also a historically accurate "blue rectangular" Epiphone label. The "1962" Sorrento comes with a period-correct hard case and a 1962 Collection Certificate of Authenticity.
All three of these Epiphone classics will be issued in limited quantities of 1,962 pieces.
All of the "1962" Collection instruments were designed by Epiphone luthiers who worked from the best examples of vintage originals found in Epiphone's own collection in Nashville. Measure for measure, the "1962" Collection recreates the look, sound, and feel of the originals first produced at the Gibson & Epiphone factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1962, the same factory that produced the Les Paul Standard, the SG, and the 335. Includes case.
Pay tribute to a key year in Epiphone's history. Order today.

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Sorrento Outfit Electric Guitar:
From the moment I opened the box I was blown away. The guitar came packaged in the case. The case is beautiful. It is definitely not a SKB, but the guitar fits in it well and it looks the 1960's part.
I will start with the finish. I bought the natural finish which is as beautiful as the pictures show. The finish is not overly thick and does not feel plasticy or sticky. It is smooth and free of flaws. I did expect to see problems around the F holes like a Cherry Dot I had five years ago, but there was no issues. The F holes are dressed on my guitar very well. The neck finish is also thin and does not get in the way of moving freely up the neck. The pickguard is of good quality and was much thicker than I had expected. The metal badge is a very nice vintage touch. I had though I would hate the tuners and had planned on swapping them for a set of grover tulips, but I have since changed my mind. They tune extremely well and look 100 times better than I had thought.
Next the frets. When I first played my Sorrento, the frets felt a bit corroded. After about 2 or 3 hours of hard playing, they seemed to break in a bit. I am sure this will continue to happen as I play. The frets are dressed surprisingly well along the edge of the fretboard. They sit flush and do not seem to have any problems. The frets are also nice and flat across the fretboard. The fact that they are so nicely laid is one of the biggest surprises to me.
Also it was set up very close to the way I like it out of the box. I only did some minor action tweaks.
The mini humbuckers are a very nice combination with the thinline hollowbody of the sorrento. I run this guitar through a 2007 Fender Blues Deville 4x10 tube amp. The combination of these two instruments is the end all be all for me. The blues tone you can get from these two just blows me away. With the amp clean, the Sorrento's volume and tone knobs can be used to get a huge range of tones. An even wider range of tones are available with the amp on a drive channel.
Absolutely blow away by the Epiphone quality.

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Sorrento Outfit Electric Guitar:
First off, I have to say that Epiphone really outshines a lot of their competition, in terms of craftsmanship and value. I cannot tell you how many times I've received a Fender Strat or Tele with rough fret ends. I'd say at least 3 of the last 4 Fenders I've owned (US and MIM) have had issues with "fret sprout" - not to mention switching problems on the Teles...which is irritatingly frustrating. None...I repeat...none of the last few Epiphones I've owned have had those issues.
These Sorrentos are currently made in Indonesia, which has proven itself a real contender in quality guitar making. The finish on my guitar (Natural) is beautiful, and the fret work is downright amazing. The guitar is also lightweight and resonant, offering warm, yet defined tone through the Gibson Mini Humbuckers. The guitar arrived with a near-perfect setup. I only had to make a few preference tweaks of my own. Otherwise, it arrived ready to play.
The guitar is also aesthetically beautiful, and the vintage "typewriter gray" case is a really cool touch. My ONLY complaint about this guitar is the bridge. The wire that holds the saddles down can sometimes rattle against the saddle screws. This is easily remedied by replacing it with another tune-o-matic that uses fixed-screw saddles. Not a dealbreaker, but I thought I'd mention it.

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Sorrento Outfit Electric Guitar:
This guitar was purchased as an alternative to my solid body single coil PU guitar, very pleasant surprise. Nice vintage vibe with none of the occasional hassles and expense of true vintage. PUs are robust and the guitar offers many different tones. Playability and ergo's are very good, the body is light and the neck is comfy. The case is a cool period correct but again seems to be robust and well constructed. I am happy I purchased this

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Sorrento Outfit Electric Guitar:
This is Actually a very nice guitar after a few minor setup up tweeks for personal preverences. As noted in remarks the nut needed some sanding on top to get it down to a decent heigth and to remove the sharp edges on the sides. I may one day cut a new one out of bone and replace this one.
I originaly ordered the blonde finish but it was backordered to many times so I went for the Olive colored one and now I'm glad I did.This color looks way better in the flesh than it does on the web site. I already have the 62 Sheraton so I have that to compare it with. Both are very good guitars.
I'm playing through a 22W Bugera tube amp with a 15" extension cab and a RP500 foot pedal and this guitar sounds very good to my ears (YMMV). I currently own about 18 guitars Of all stripes including Gibson,Fender,Ibanez,Agile,Carvin and a few others.I have 5 Epiphones and I like every one of them for different reasons,mostly because they seem to fit my hands the best. I have fairly large hands and these necks just seem to fit.
As with all new guitars YOU WILL have to make some adjustments,that's just the way it is.None are perfect from the factory. I hope this review helps in some way.I personnaly think these are very nice guitars.
I forgot to mention I've been playing for 50 years and played semi-pro for about 25. Hope this helps

Comments about Epiphone 50th Ann. "1962" Sorrento Outfit Electric Guitar:
I received a Epiphone Sorrento as a 60th birthday gift from family and friends. I had never played a reissue but had owned a mid 60's years ago. Quite simply this guitar is so close to an original its fantastic. First off the finish on mine is natural and its just beautiful. The poly finish is very light so it does not have the plastic feel some guitars have. The fit and finish is wonderful and so well made I truly thought it was as good as my Gibson Les Paul Special. Fingerboard is just great and has a very sweet feel to it. The action was good but I lowered it and i had no fretting out or buzz at all. It did need the truss rod adjusted but all new guitars do. The electronics are beautiful. The Gibson mini humbuckers are my favs and these just scream. I can get a very soft jazz sound if I roll off the tone and put the volume at 8 or so however if I over drive the amp and use the bridge pickup I can get unreal sustain and grind. Some notes will keep ringing for as long as I hold it. As light and open as the sound is I have not had uncontrollable howl you might expect from a full hollow body.
Two slight and I mean slight comments. The fingerboard had a dark stain to it I suppose to make it look aged. I used steel wool to remove it and found a very nice rosewood board. The case is very nice but some of the covering had shrunk and had to be glued. Not a big deal to me and I always enjoy fixing anything I can. These guitars are very different from the Casino or the Sheraton. Its a very cool addition to any collection and a great all around guitar.
Get one while you can.

A Web site of suspicious origin is misusing the REALTOR® trademark in what seems to be an attempt to get money from real estate practitioners.
The site, Realtor-complaints.com, supposedly publishes consumer complaints about real estate agents. However, an investigation by the New Jersey association of REALTORS® showed a string of complaints against its members, all using similar phrasing. "This leads to suspicion that these are not all public-submitted complaints," says Lauren Castellano, director of communications for the New Jersey Association of REALTORS®.
Not only that, when agents who have been the subject of a complaint attempt to make contact, the site offers them the "opportunity" to pay to have the complaint and their name removed from the site, says Michael Thiel, an attorney for the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®. NAR legal staff checked the WHOIS record for the site and discovered it's hosted on servers located in the Seychelles. "It's recorded as having been initially registered on Jan. 1, 2013," Thiel says, "which makes the site's claim of having been around since 2002 very suspect."
Thiel's office has received a number of calls from members who've been informed, via e-mail, that their name is listed at the site. NAR attorneys are investigating and, if necessary, will take steps to have the site shut down. [Jan. 23 Update: Wendy Legerton below asks why NAR isn't taking more aggressive action. In response, NAR Associate General Counsel Ralph Holmen offers this: "This site does not have authority to use the term REALTOR®, and NAR has taken action to stop them from using it. That action does not (yet) involve litigation, but the possibility of initiating suit remains if our efforts are not successful."] But it's important to approach with caution any service that claims to either track or burnish your reputation. Online reputation management—and reputation trashing—is a growing enterprise, and there are simple steps you can take to manage your own reputation online:
- Make sure all of your profiles (on social media sites, at REALTOR.com, and so on) are complete, up to date, and consistent.
- Be proactive in asking customers for reviews in legitimate forums, such as Yelp and LinkedIn.
- Search Google and Yahoo for your name and your company's name. Save each search as a browser favorite and check them daily.
- Sign up for Google Alerts so that you're notified when your name appears in a search. Also set up alerts for variations of your name, your company name, and other keywords.
- Ask your customers where they've gone to search for information about real estate and other professionals.
- Correct errors quickly. Immediately contact the Web site and be willing to prove your case with information from your MLS or other sources. But don't be tempted to pay to have information removed. "It's hard to imagine a legitimate site requiring you to pay to take down false information," Thiel says.

Prince Harry has joined the crowds cheering on our Paralympic stars on day six of the games.
The royal visited the aquatics centre to cheer on Ellie Simmonds as she bids for a triple gold crown in the 50m freestyle.
The teenager admitted after reaching the final that she was battling fatigue following her exploits in the pool over the last few days, which has seen her bag two golds.
Harry spent 45 minutes happily posing for pictures with members of ParalympicsGB, before meeting war hero turned discus star Derek Derenalagi.
The 37-year-old was pronounced dead when he lost both his legs following a Taliban bomb blast in Afghanistan in 2007. But he marked an inspiring turnaround by performing in front of a packed stadium last week, narrowly missing out on a medal.
Harry also visited the Copper Box to cheer on the women's goalball - which is played in total silence - as they romped to a 5-0 victory over Denmark.
Dressed in a Great Britain tracksuit top, he took a particular interest in the ball, which he rested on his lap.
Following the game, he joined the crowd to give the British squad a standing ovation.
Britain's medal tally continued with a silver for Sophie Wells, 22, in the dressage at Greenwich Park and bronze for Great Britain's boccia team - a sport similar to boules or petanque.
ParalympicsGB is currently second in the medals table with 66 - including 19 golds - well on schedule for its 103 medal target.

The Importance of Being Politically Aware
Teenagers must be politically aware to make a difference in the future.By: Lyly Vang-Yang, Sibley Scribe
I'm sure most of you are tired of hearing about Mitt Romney and Barack Obama and those "Gangnam Style" parody videos. Well, maybe not the parody videos, but definitely Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. You have reason to be. I mean, who wants to hear people bashing others constantly? Why should you care anyway? You're young, wild, and free! You're living it up; you're a teenager!
…Wrong! You should care. You should really care. As teenagers, older people perceive us as only caring about our looks, friends, celebrities, and what people think of us. They think that we don't really care about war, the current unemployment rate, or who's who in the world of politics. We've got to prove them wrong.
This is our future we're talking about. Whatever policies and laws our future president and other elected officials institute will most definitely affect your future, my future, your dog's future, and even your favorite tree's future.
We are fortunate enough to have the right to vote. We have the power to decide our next president and we should use it. Your vote counts. I'm sure you all know someone who just complains and complains, but never does anything about it. Don't be that person. Be the person that makes a difference.
As young adults, a lot of us feel like we don't have any power. We may not have power over others, but we definitely have power over ourselves. We as young adults have the power to be responsible, respectful, and resourceful. We as young adults have the power to choose to be informed about current events and politics. We should use that power.
In a small survey conducted among our Sibley population (thank you to all those that participated!), I found that roughly half get their political information from social media websites such as Facebook, Tumblr, or Reddit. About a third gets their information from news information sites such as Fox News and CNN. The vast majority also get a lot of their information from family and friends.
It's really great that young people are starting to even get involved in politics at all. It's even better that they're speaking with others about current events in a manner that is both genuine and civil. It is definitely a start to becoming more responsible, respectful, and resourceful.
We should take it one step forward though. Start getting your information from websites dedicated solely to politics and current events. Any of the big papers, such as the Washington Post and the New York Times, have interesting and informative articles on their websites. The Economist has weekly updates on current events, and sites such as Politico are updated daily. Listen to NPR (or MPR). Watch C-SPAN on television or Democracy Now online for a bit. Get involved with a political campaign or write a letter on an issue you really care about to your local mayor or to a representative.
We are the future of the world, and by getting involved in politics now and making sure that we are responsible, respectful, and resourceful, we can affect the world.

May 15th is the annual Spring Big Game at Splatterpark, near Columbus Oh. I've gone to their big games (Spring and Fall) the last couple of years and always had a good time. Last year's Fall Big Game drew over 800 players. It's the first big game of the year around here so let's go out there and get this season started.
No need to point out the perfectly obvious, the merely obvious will do.

I've been in the grip of Philip Kerr's "Berlin Noir" trilogy for the past few weeks. For those not familiar with his Bernie Gunther crime novels, they're set in pre- and post-war Germany, kind of like siccing Mike Hammer among the Nazis.
This prompted me to read a slim volume I picked it up at a book sale some months back. It's called "King's War," by journalist Brian Nolan, and the opening chapter chronicles the adventures of Mackenzie King, Canada's longest-serving prime minister, in the same Nazi Germany.
While King certainly doesn't stand as tall as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill nor Josef Stalin among leaders of the era, he could boast one thing they could not. King actually met Adolf Hitler face to face, and for more than just a quick grip and greet.
King's tête-à-tête with the Fuhrer is well-known to Canadian history buffs, but it's perhaps a revelation, perhaps a shocking one, to those who are not. King's meeting with Hitler, and his entire approach to politics, especially politics in a world sliding toward war, gets a fresh and deep look in a book out just this month by historian Allan Levine titled "William Lyon Mackenzie King: A Life Guided by the Hand of Destiny."
As the title suggests, King felt he was the instrument of otherworldly forces, in keeping with his extraordinarily bizarre private life. As one reviewer of Levine's book noted: "Canadians knew King was a little odd, but had no idea of the true flakiness of their prime minister's life. No one today who hasn't delved into King's massive diaries, which he kept for 57 years, can really appreciate how unutterably peculiar he was.
"If voters of the day had known, it's hard to imagine King would ever have served a single mandate as prime minister, never mind 22 years."
King would regularly attend séances around the "little table" at his gloomy house on Laurier Street in central Ottawa or at Kingsmere, his sprawling lakeside retreat, whose lawns were littered with "ruins" he had built from demolished churches.
A bachelor who had been wracked with guilt for frequenting prostitutes in his youth, King communicated beyond the grave with both his beloved mother and cherished Irish terrier Pat — he had three, all named Pat.
Historians agree King did not inspire warmth or personal loyalty from his colleagues or Canadians, in general, but they also concede, despite his kooky spiritualism, he was a brilliant political operator who rallied the country through the Depression and led it through the agony of a war to purge the world of Hitler and his Axis cohorts.
Which brings us back to the aforementioned encounter on June 29, 1937, between a Hitler at the height of his power over a mighty Germany and this bland little prime minister of a faraway country, so in awe of the prosperity of the Reich.
Hitler, in formal dress and white tie, laid on full honors for his visitor, who had travelled alone to Germany after having attended the coronation of George VI (of "The King's Speech" fame). They were supposed to meet for a half-hour but ended up talking, through an interpreter, for 75 minutes.
King, trying some small talk, told Hitler that he was born in the Ontario city of Berlin (which was changed to Kitchener in 1916 in the midst of the First World War.)
The two leaders, so similar in many of their personal proclivities, discussed the situation in Europe, with King making it clear, that in the event of war, Canada would rally to the side of Britain.
As Levine writes, King left the meeting "feeling contented, satisfied and optimistic that war still might be averted.
King's insight into Hitler is difficult to swallow today. Yet there is no denying the fact that in 1937 Hitler was hailed as a charismatic, if dangerous, visionary, somewhat as Mackenzie King portrayed him.
Just how maniacally dangerous Hitler was, King and the world were about to find out.

Last month my local OD stores claim never to have had the Paperwhite yet. None show it in stock now either. I would have gotten one with the $50 off Best Buy coupon.
Paid full price at Amazon, but happy for my wife who loves it better than the Kindle w/ keyboard, the touch, and the fire (non-HD). ________________________________________________________________________________

Click on I bought this, or the green square by their user name. People have put in their time and effort for us with good intentions. That is why SD is the best deal site. |
I went to Office Max and apparently they don't carry the kindle paperwhite.
I went to Office Depot and the lady in training thought I was there to buy "paperwhite" paper because she'd never heard of a kindle before. It was pretty funny. They didn't have it in stock at all and weren't able to order it for me. The Stapes I went to doesn't take printed competitor coupons (they have to be the mailed ones) and even if I had a mailed one they said couldn't apply it to kindles. So hopefully someone else had better luck! |
I went to Staples today and after talking to the manager they were going to match the coupon as long as Office Depot had the product in stock. When they called the store they did not have any and said the Kindle was listed in their system as a clearance item. They said they tried to order some for customers, but they had none in the warehouse. Staples thought maybe this was due to the recent merger with Office Max.
Could someone post a better quality receipt than OP, ideally from a place closer to WA? I'd like to print and show it at Staples since they claim that Kindle is a tablet and hence can't apply.

An exchange like this would only be incredulous to a liberal. After all it's the Left that loves to make the ridiculous claim that FOX News is nothing but an arm of the GOP. But anyone who actually watches FOX (which most liberals don't) knows full well that FOX not only invites plenty liberal pundits on air (something Krazy Olbermann never does with conservatives), but in making "fair and balanced" their slogan, they prove it by consistently presenting both sides of the debate, esp. O'Reilly (and that's why Bill remains on top).
As for Palin, if she going to run for president one day, she needs to put her ego aside, come more prepared and go on O'Reilly more because Bill isn't going to let her get away with vague, conservative buzzwords on how to handle tough issues--anyone who watches "The O'Reilly Factor" every night knows that. In other words, debating O'Reilly on key policy issues can only benefit Palin's credibility and make her more appealing to independents who are running as far as away from Barack Obama as possible.

Most died at the very start of their young lives, tiny victims taken in a way not fit for anyone regardless of age. Others found their life's work in sheltering little ones, teaching them, caring for them, treating them as their own. After the gunfire ended Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the trail of loss was more than many could bear: 20 children and six adults at the school, the gunman's mother at home, and the gunman himself.
A glimpse of some of those who died:
Olivia Engel, 6, student
The images of Olivia Engel will live far beyond her short lifetime. There she is, visiting with Santa Claus, or feasting on a slice of birthday cake. There's the one of her swinging a pink baseball bat, and another posing on a boat. In some, she models a pretty white dress, in others she makes a silly face.
Dan Merton, a longtime friend of the girl's family, says he could never forget the child, and he has much to say when he thinks of her.
''She loved attention,'' he said. ''She had perfect manners, perfect table manners. She was the teacher's pet, the line leader.''
On Friday, Merton said, she was simply excited to go to school and return home and make a gingerbread house.
''Her only crime,'' he said, ''is being a wiggly, smiley 6-year-old.''
Victoria Soto, 27, teacher
She beams in snapshots. Her enthusiasm and cheer was evident. She was doing, those who knew her say, what she loved.
And now, Victoria Soto is being called a hero.
Though details of the 27-year-old teacher's death remained fuzzy, her name has been invoked again and again as a portrait of selflessness and humanity among unfathomable evil. Those who knew her said they weren't surprised by reports she shielded her first-graders from danger.
''She put those children first. That's all she ever talked about,'' said a friend, Andrea Crowell. ''She wanted to do her best for them, to teach them something new every day.''
Photos of Soto show her always with a wide smile, in pictures of her at her college graduation and in mundane daily life. She looks so young, barely an adult herself. Her goal was simply to be a teacher.
''You have a teacher who cared more about her students than herself,'' said Mayor John Harkins of Stratford, the town Soto hailed from and where more than 300 people gathered for a memorial service Saturday night. ''That speaks volumes to her character, and her commitment and dedication.''
Ana Marquez-Greene, 6, student
A year ago, 6-year-old Ana Marquez-Greene was reveling in holiday celebrations with her extended family on her first trip to Puerto Rico. This year will be heartbreakingly different.
The girl's grandmother, Elba Marquez, said the child's family moved to Connecticut just two months ago, drawn from Canada, in part, by Sandy Hook's pristine reputation. The grandmother's brother, Jorge Marquez, is mayor of a Puerto Rican town and said the child's 9-year-old brother was also at the school, but escaped safely.
Elba Marquez had just visited the new home over Thanksgiving and finds herself perplexed by what happened.
''It was a beautiful place, just beautiful,'' she said. ''What happened does not match up with the place where they live.''
Jorge Marquez confirmed the girl's father is saxophonist Jimmy Greene, who wrote on Facebook that he was trying to ''work through this nightmare.''
''As much as she's needed here and missed by her mother, brother and me, Ana beat us all to paradise. I love you sweetie girl,'' he wrote.
Dawn Hochsprung, 47, principal
Dawn Hochsprung's pride in Sandy Hook Elementary was clear. She regularly tweeted photos from her time as principal there, giving indelible glimpses of life at a place now known for tragedy. Just this week, it was an image of fourth-graders rehearsing for their winter concert, days before that the tiny hands of kindergartners exchanging play money at their makeshift grocery store.
She viewed her school as a model, telling The Newtown Bee in 2010 that ''I don't think you could find a more positive place to bring students to every day.'' She had worked to make Sandy Hook a place of safety, too, and in October, 47-year-old Hochsprung shared a picture of the school's evacuation drill with the message ''Safety first.'' When the unthinkable came, she was ready to defend.
Officials said she died while lunging at the gunman in an attempt to overtake him.
''She had an extremely likable style about her,'' said Gerald Stomski, first selectman of Woodbury, where Hochsprung lived and had taught. ''She was an extremely charismatic principal while she was here.''Continued...

Have we got a height for him yet? Ive seen everything between 6' and 6' 3" between giants.com, nfl.com, and cbs.com. Thats ridiculous and Im really curious of his actual size.

Well at least his name isn't Mike Hunt.
He's baaaack.
Queen of the boards. Queen of the world.
I wouldn't put too much stock in this kid coming right into camp and performing. He's a quick learning though and that should help him build up his skills.
He's a grower. Not a show-er.
Interesting player definitely especially from the standpoint that he played for an atrocious team so his stats probably do not accurately reflect his actual talent.. It is a little saddening that there is literally little to no footage of the kid running the ball for a significant amount of plays. If we do sign Hightower then this draft pick does really leave me scratching my head because of the fact that there were some talented defensive players who were 100% IMO BPA (better) and would fill a need at the same time.

The album includes a stellar ensemble of artists and features the return of fellow Idol judge Paula Abdul who's track "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" is her first release of new music in over a decade. Other guests on the album include Idol standouts Katherine McPhee and Elliot Yamin, U.K. phenom Joss Stone, country trailblazer Travis Tritt, pop-rock hitmaker Jason Mraz, ace country songwriter-producer John Rich (of Big & Rich), R&B luminary Sam Moore and Bon Jovi guitarist-harmonizer Richie Sambora. Randy also works once more with the incredible Mariah Carey who guests on the gospel track "Understand" along with Bebe Winans and Hezekiah Walker, Kim Burrell & Rance Allen. The collection also features major up and coming talent such as the wonderful Barbie Esco on the track "My R&B" and Kelli Selah on "Who's Gonna Love You Now" among many others.
"I'm really pleased that a bunch of wonderful, talented people showed up," Jackson said of his experience producing Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1. "I'm really blessed by the way it all came together."
"I love people who break boundaries and always create something new and fresh," he points out. "I'm still true to my Southern roots." The disc's Tritt-Sambora collaboration, "Willing to Try" and the producer-musician's work with John Rich underscore this restlessly inventive Southern sensibility.
Randy describes Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1 as "a great way to announce my new label, hear from some great established and new artists, and share a little musical history," adding "in a way, it's autobiographical - it covers a lot of my life experience."

LOS ANGELES — Simon Property Group, the nation's largest shopping mall owner, made a $10 billion hostile bid Tuesday to acquire ailing rival General Growth Properties.
The acquisition would allow General Growth, the No. 2 owner of shopping centers, to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. General Growth filed for bankruptcy last year after buckling under the weight of billions in debt it racked up during a massive expansion effort fueled by cheap credit.
The move is Simon's second major acquisition in three months. In December, Simon offered $700 million in cash and stock to buy more than 60 outlet shopping centers from another competitor, Prime Outlets Acquisition Co.
Simon is using its comfortable cash cushion and credit lines to take advantage of falling commercial property values, which are off 40 percent from their peak in 2007. And General Growth has some prized centers, including the Glendale Galleria in Southern California and the South Street Seaport in Manhattan.
The offer for General Growth would fully repay $7 billion to General Growth's unsecured creditors and $3 billion to shareholders. Stockholders would get $6 a share in cash and $3 a share in other assets. The offer, however, might be amended so shareholders could receive Simon stock instead of cash.
Simon made the public offer after General Growth executives failed to make a "substantive response" Simon's overtures.
"Simon's offer provides the best possible outcome for all General Growth stakeholders," said David Simon, chairman and CEO, in a statement.
Though the official committee for General Growth's unsecured creditors has backed the deal, stockholders appeared to be looking for a sweeter offer from Simon or one of its competitors. Shares in General Growth shot up nearly 21 percent, or $1.97, to $11.37 in midday trading.
Alexander Goldfarb, an analyst with Sandler O'Neill & Partners, said he expects other offers to drive the bidding higher.
"General Growth has a number of options," Goldfarb said. "This is not the only one."
A spokesman Chicago-based General Growth had no immediate comment.
Simon, unlike many of its competitors, has been able to weather the economic downturn thanks in part to its higher rents. The Indianapolis-based company popularized the so-called lifestyle center mall design that turned malls into veritable neighborhood-like communities. Simon owns more than 380 properties, including Arizona Mills in Tempe, Houston Galleria and the Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego.
Earlier this month, Simon reported a decline in fourth-quarter results, in part due to a one-time charge. But it still managed to beat Wall Street forecasts and its revenue held steady.
Simon shares rose $1.90 to $73.90 in midday trading.

Learn To Dance Ballroom Or Improve What You Already Know!
Dance Style: | Ballroom |
Dance Family: | Ballroom |
Number Of Ballroom Lessons: | 28 Lesson Packs, 137 Lessons |
Number Of Ballroom Instructors: | 2 |
Ballroom Instructors: | Mandy CarlisleIlya Velednitskiy |
Overview:Ballroom dancing includes a wide range of social and competitive partner dances, derived from such various traditions as formal Victorian dancing, contemporary Latin dancing, and American jazz and swing dances. NOTE: As we continue to add Ballroom lessons on this site, this style will likely be split into its individual dances, under the larger Ballroom family.
How it works:The many dance styles that are included in this umbrella term are further broken down into International Standard, International Latin, American Smooth, and American Rhythm subcategories. Each of these groups have their own techniques and stylistic preferences which are discussed in each style's introductory pack on iDance. The dances we offer (so far) include Cha Cha, Rumba, East Coast Swing, Bolero, Mambo, West Coast Swing, Merengue, Hustle, Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz, Samba, and Salsa. It should be noted that many of these dances are also done "outside" the competitive and social Ballroom dance world, in many cases with substantial difference in technique, styling, and approach.
Why you should dance Ballroom: If you've never partner danced before, you will be impressed with the organized approach offered by this system of dance, allowing you to become socially proficient at many styles in a relatively short time! If you like the idea of learning routines with a partner, and are interested in competition, you may also be attracted to the opportunities Ballroom dance has to offer. Finally, if what you're looking for is exposure to the graceful and stately partner dances of a bygone era, these lessons can open up for you a whole new world of experiences.

Reports broke earlier in the week that Google might exit the Chinese market.
Yesterday, Google turned the matter into a political drama with its official explanation. In a post entitled "A new approach to China" on the Official Google Blog, Google's Chief Legal Officer David Drummond details why his company is considering leaving: it stumbled onto and was the victim of a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack" that resulted in the theft of intellectual property.
Google believes that the attack's purpose was to access Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. It claims that "twenty other large companies from a wide range of businesses" were targeted and says it is working with the United States government. While Drummond doesn't directly accuse the Chinese government of being behind the attacks, that accusation is pretty clear if you read between the lines.
The story reads like something out of a Hollywood political thriller and while Google deserves some respect for standing up to the Chinese government, as with any good political thriller, I think there's far more to the story than meets the eye. After all, up until this point Google willingly complied with the Chinese government to protect its interests in China. Now, however, it wants us to believe that a hacker attack with the "primary goal" of accessing Gmail accounts of human rights activists in China has led it to conclude that a Chinese business may be untenable. Right.
Plenty of people buy the story and are praising Google. But praise requires some form of amnesia. That's because no matter how much "discomfort" Google felt when it agreed to censor search results in China, it knew what the implications of that censorship were and it knew who the censorship would hurt (hint: the same people this attack reportedly targeted). There was plenty of outrage when Google made its censorship decision but clearly the Chinese market was more important to Google at the time than its "do no evil" mantra, and its decision to censor reflects that.
So what gives now? It's hard to buy that this attack, however disturbing, is driving Google to rethink censorship and stand up for human rights. No, it's my opinion that Google may be using the attack as an excuse to set the stage for an exit from the Chinese market that doesn't require admitting what amounts to defeat. While JPMorgan estimates that closing up shop in China could cost Google up to $600m/year in revenue, that's a drop in the bucket for Google overall. And when you look at Google market share in China, where it trails Baidu in paid search by a hefty margin, it's pretty clear that Google is far from the 800 pound gorilla that it's used to being elsewhere in the world.
The problem for Google, of course, is that this says more about Google than it does about the Chinese market. We're talking about what will eventually be the largest consumer market in the world here. Google may not yet dominate search in China and will probably never dominate it, but make no mistake about it: China is really important to Google, as it is to so many large global companies. As JPMorgan analyst Imran Khan has noted, "If Google is not allowed to operate in China this could potentially have a far-reaching impact on the company's overall long-term growth rate".
That statement is spot on, but if Google management lacks confidence in the company's ability to make greater inroads in China, pulling out of the country on moral grounds might be an easier way to let shareholders down than "Sorry! We just can't compete in China." So far, Google shareholders don't seem concerned. Yesterday, Google stock dropped by a little more than half a percent. Baidu's stock, on the other hand, soared more than 13%. A clear reflection that Google's move is probably more important to Baidu than Google in the immediate term.
It would be unwise to assume, however, that Google is simply throwing in the towel on China so abruptly. It appears that by publicly revealing the information it has in the way it has, Google is hoping it can pressure the Chinese government to renegotiate the rules of the game. Indeed, Drummond writes in his post that "over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all". The question is whether Google is delusional or devilishly brilliant.
While it would be a major shocker if the Chinese government agreed to let it run an unfiltered search engine, that's probably not Google's real goal. Realistically, Google is probably hoping to win some concessions that can help it compete more effectively in the Chinese market. If the political fallout is strong enough, there's a long-shot chance that the Chinese government will give in some due to the scrutiny and pressure. Again, this is a long shot by any stretch of the imagination but if it happened, Google will have pulled off a real coup d'état. If the Chinese government stands firm, as it is likely to do, Google can follow through with its threat to leave China while saving face with shareholders and consumers who still believe "do no evil" holds some meaning. Win-win for Google management perhaps.
This will be an interesting story to watch on multiple levels. But don't be fooled by the political and moral overtones. Just as Google's original agreement to censor search results for the Chinese government was a calculated business decision, its decision to now turn on the Chinese government is a calculated business decision too. Whether it has calculated correctly remains to be seen.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- POLITICIANS in Oklahoma created an airport that functions like a giant ATM to draw money from the Federal Aviation Administration. The Lake Murray State Park Airport is "an airport without passengers," according to the Washington Post.
Lake Murray may be the only airport in the world where a plane landing once a week is considered heavy traffic. "Fantasy Island" saw more landings.
Despite this, the airport has drawn $900,000 since 2007 from a federal tax on airline passenger tickets and fuel used by airlines. The state uses it elsewhere.
"This is a direct gift from your congressman and senators," said Victor Bird, director of the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission, which handles the money the government gets for Lake Murray. "Everybody's going to get something here, and we're going to take some."
The Obama administration threatened to close air-control towers under sequester, but not Lake Murray or its 495 cousins.
The router was one of 1,164 routers the state
purchased for $24 million using federal money —
including money from the $787 billion stimulus.
"We're talking about millions and millions of
dollars here that were wasted," railed Congressman Greg Walden, R-Ore.
Indeed we are, but the bigger question is why a router in Marmet is the responsibility of a federal government that borrows $1 out of every $3 it spends.
No one opposes extending high-speed Internet
access to remote places. Every line item in the
federal budget is backed by someone somewhere who thinks it is a good idea.
But Americans cannot afford them all.
What the $600 toilet did to military procurement, the $22,600 router should do to all government spending.
While giving political supporters ambassadorships to safe countries like Japan are a longstanding tradition, Obama has played the game more often than other presidents.
"Obama has drawn ambassadors from the political ranks at a higher rate than the historical average of 30 percent, according to the American Foreign Service Association," the news service reported.

Builder and DirectorThis was the most popular combination (25 percent of the couples in our sample), which is interesting because each type brings such different qualities to the relationship. Both share a loyalty to home and family, so the Builder is likely to admire the Director's ingenuity, competence, and workaholism. And the Director, who is less socially skilled, may be particularly drawn to the Builder's charm and ability to provide a social life. In addition, the Director may find the Builder's need to uphold traditions comforting, while the Builder values the Director's decisiveness. From the June 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Unlike typical fans that merely claim to be whisper quiet, this model did not produce any measurable noise on its three lowest settings. In tests by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, analysts used a sound meter to measure the fan noise and even on its highest of eight settings it only generated 51.5 decibels--quieter than a normal conversation. Its truly whisper-quiet design does not impact performance, thanks to a special turbine design that generates cooling breezes with optimal efficiency. The fan oscillates 90° to provide even, consistent cooling and its timer automatically turns the fan off after one, two, four, or eight hours of operation. Its 12"-diameter base and slim, tower design enables unobtrusive setup. Includes remote control. 39 1/2" H x 12" Diam. (8 lbs.)

Best Tower Fan!
By missysen
from Fort Wayne, IN
I am using this fan 24/7! (even while I am at work). I live in a two-story condo, and summer heat and humidity rises, making the upstairs unbearable, even though I have central air. I use the highest speed all the time, and it is the quietest fan I've ever had. (This does not mean you can't hear the the fan - I just mean it is a constant even wind sound (whisper) that you can easily adjust to.) Most fans sound really noisy. I have nothing negative to say! It REALLY helps my "hot flashes"!!!!
Very nice. Very Quiet.

People have used Yohimbe/Clen transdermal solutions in the past with success Schwell. It is quite popular actually.
You can do that as long as Clen fits the molecular weight, lipophilicity, and has a good transdermal potency. And I am sure it does or people wouldn't be using transdermal clen all this time.
The thiomucase will draw a good amount of water out of your fat cells so you will lean out in the areas you carry fat in and this will compliment the clen big time. You will have some pretty good pics to show in your log....
You know, a badass transdermal solution would be clen mixed with the formastanzol carrier. Talk about cutting up. And if you're still on Test schwell, the formastanzol/clen will be superb.
Both are good ideas though. I like the way you think.
i thought it would work, wasn't sure though and clen does fit the molecular weight to be transdermal, i just wasnt sure if thimocuse or however u spell it would work as a carrier, pickin some up now

Clallam PUD candidates clash over power, water
Published on Wed, Oct 15, 2008 by
Brian Gawley
Read More
Electricity and water issues along with purchase of the former Costco Wholesale building were at the forefront of Thursday's League of Women Voters debate at Sequim High School between incumbent Clallam County Public Utility District commissioner Hugh Haffner and challenger Bob Jensen.
Haffner, a bankruptcy attorney, has served on the Clallam PUD board for 14 years. Jensen is a partner in both Angeles Communications, and Capacity Provisioning Inc., which are telecommunications companies.
They are running for a six-year term on the three-person Clallam PUD board representing District 2, which stretches from Seventh Avenue in Sequim westward around the city of Port Angeles to roughly the Elwha River.
Jensen said electricity and water rates are increasing and that that money must be put back into ratepayers' hands.
He wants to have "smart meters" for everyone, not just the PUD's equipment or buildings, Jensen said. Clallam PUD also should be out in front on energy conservation, not the county, he said.
Haffner said he still is trying to get a refund of the excess $13 million that Bonneville took from the public utilities and gave to the investor-owned utilities as part of the residential exchange program.
Approved in 1980, the program provides investor-owned utilities such as Puget Sound Energy with benefits from the hydroelectric system by subsidizing their rates with money from public utilities such as Clallam PUD.
Public utilities sued over the amount of the subsidy and to get back the $13 million they were overcharged.
Haffner said the public utilities finally convinced the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to make Bonne-
ville return the money but now Bonneville is trying to keep it in the upcoming power sales contracts.
So the public utilities might have to sue Bonneville again, he said.
"The refund will go back to our customers," Haffner said.
Jensen said a lot of public utilities sued Bonneville, not just Clallam PUD.
"Absolutely" the money should be returned to the customers, he said.
Haffner said he is the only PUD commissioner in the state who also is an attorney and he's more involved in the Bonneville lawsuit than his opponent might realize.
Jensen said the city of Port Angeles is using only 30 percent of its water rights so Clallam PUD's water systems should be integrated so that that water can be shifted east to serve the Carlsborg area.
Integration of water systems is a great idea, he said.
Haffner said water can't be transferred from Port Angeles over to Carlsborg, the state Department of Ecology never would allow it.
The district has worked with the city of Port Angeles on water issues but there are problems with Ecology when you try transfering water to different areas, he said.
Clallam PUD also is talking with the state Department of Ecology about getting more water for the Carlsborg area and actually got some real response, he said.
"It's all about timing. You can't just drill a hole in the ground and get water. It's about banking, putting water away for later because you can't drill more wells," Haffner said.
Jensen said Clallam PUD needs a reservoir for when Morse Creek stream flows are low but the district is only building a reservoir east of Port Angeles because its water supply contract with the city of Port Angeles requires it.
The PUD should put its grant writer to work writing grants to help fund exploration of more water sources, he said.
The two candidates also clashed over the district's recent announcement of a purchase and sale agreement to buy the former Costco Wholesale building in Carlsborg for $3.8 million.
Jensen said he used to support buying the building but now believes the purchase won't save the district money and the
$5 million should be used instead to improve the district's infrastructure.
He would rather expand the Carlsborg Operations Center than spend $5 million buying that building, Jensen said.
"I'm not sure it's a savings. It's a poor decision but it still can be stopped," he said.
Haffner said when running a business you need to look to the future or else your capital projects make you a slave to whatever builders want to charge.
"We got a smoking deal and saved $2 million," he said.
Clallam PUD must plan out 25 years into the future, Haffner said, adding he always asks the cost difference between installing a 12-inch water pipe versus a 24-inch one.
Clallam PUD is governed by a three-person board of directors elected to six-year terms.
It has 130 employees who work in offices and shops in Sequim, Carlsborg, Port Angeles, Forks and Clallam Bay/Sekiu.
It serves about 28,500 electricity customers in Sequim, Forks and the unincorporated areas of Clallam County plus the Port Townsend Paper Corp. mill.
It also operates nine water systems that serve about 4,200 customers throughout the county: Fairview, Gales, Mount Angeles, Monroe, Carlsborg, Clallam, Panoramic, Evergreen and Island View.
The district also built a 24-mile fiber optic loop between Port Angeles and Sequim and operates a small sewer department with a 2008 budget of $26,120.

Study finds children exposed to mercury in the United States through the consumption of contaminated seafood costs the U.S. $5.1 billion a year
Poor childhood health caused by environmental factors, such as air pollution and exposure to toxic chemicals, cost the United States $76.6 billion in 2008, according to authors of a new study in the May issue of Health Affairs. This price tag represents a dramatic increase in recent years, rising from 2.8 percent of total health care costs in 1997 to 3.5 percent in 2008.
The new study by Leonardo Trasande of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine focused on the cost of lead poisoning, childhood cancer and chronic conditions, including asthma, intellectual disability, autism and attention deficit disorder-conditions that are linked to environmental toxins and pollutants in the air, food, water, and soil, as well as in homes and neighborhoods. "Left unchecked, these preventable environmental factors will continue to harm the health of our children and push up health care costs," Trasande said. "By updating environmental regulations and laws aimed at protecting the public's health, we can reduce the toll taken by such factors on children's health and the economy."
Key findings from the study: - Lead poisoning cost $50.9 billion - Autism cost $7.9 billion - Intellectual disability cost $5.4 billion - Exposure to mercury (methyl mercury) cost $5.1 billion - Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder cost $5.0 billion - Asthma cost $2.2 billion - Childhood cancer cost $95.0 million

Apache UIMA DUCC (Distributed UIMA Cluster Computing) is a cluster management system providing tooling, management, and scheduling facilities that automate the scale-out of applications written using the UIMA framework. Core UIMA provides a generalized framework for applications that process unstructured information such as human language, but does not provide a scale-out mechanism. UIMA-AS extends UIMA and provides a scale-out mechanism for distributing UIMA pipelines over a cluster of computing resources, but does not provide job or cluster management of the resources. DUCC extends UIMA-AS by defining a formal job model that closely maps to a standard UIMA pipeline. Around this job model DUCC provides cluster management services to automate the scale-out of UIMA pipelines over computing clusters.

[I]t is my view and advice that abandoning the control orders system now would have a damaging effect on national security. Of course, on their own control orders are not a failsafe or foolproof mechanism for full disruption of suspected terrorists. Further, because they are a resource-intensive tool for all involved in their management, self-evidently they cannot be used to manage the risk posed by all non-prosecutable suspected terrorists against whom there is robust intelligence.
In January, UK Home Secretary Theresa May [official profile] announced proposed changes [press release; JURIST report] to Britain's anti-terrorism policies, including the controversial use of control orders. Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] issued a report [text, PDF; JURIST report] in August calling for an end to the use of control orders against terrorism suspects, characterizing the orders as legal sanctions without trial. A month prior, the UK Court of Appeal [official website] ruled [judgment, text; JURIST report] that two terrorism suspects could sue the government for damages over wrongfully imposed control orders. In June, the UK Supreme Court ruled [JURIST report] that a control order requiring an anonymous appellant to live 150 miles from his family and operate under a 16-hour curfew violated his rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) [text]. In September 2009, then-Home Secretary Alan Johnson [BBC profile] said the government would undertake a review [JURIST report] of the system. The UK Law Lords ruled in October 2007 that the government may continue to impose control orders [JURIST report] on terror suspects in lieu of detention, but said that some elements of the orders violate human rights. Control orders allow the British government to conduct surveillance and impose house arrest on suspects where there does not exist enough evidence to prosecute. The orders can also be used to forbid the use of mobile phones and the Internet.
