Cliff talks: No progress evident as each side demands specifics from the other; deadline ahead
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A year-end deadline approaching, negotiations to avoid an economy-rattling "fiscal cliff" appeared at a standstill Monday. Republicans pressed President Barack Obama to name specific spending cuts he will support, while the White House insisted the GOP agree explicitly to raise tax rates on upper incomes.
At a campaign-style event in Michigan, Obama warned his listeners their taxes will rise on Jan. 1 without action by the Congress. "That's a hit you can't afford to take," he declared.
He spoke one day after meeting privately at the White House with House Speaker John Boehner, whose office expressed frustration with the talks to date.
"We continue to wait for the president to identify the spending cuts he's willing to make as part of the 'balanced' approach he promised the American people,'" said a written statement from the Ohio Republican's office.
The negotiations are designed to prevent across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to begin at the turn of the year, a combination that economists say poses the threat of a new recession.
Egypt's military assumes temporary powers ahead of vote as country braces for more rallies
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's military assumed responsibility Monday for protecting state institutions and maintaining security ahead of a Dec. 15 constitutional referendum, as the country braced for another round of mass demonstrations by the supporters of the country's Islamist president and the liberal opposition over the disputed charter.
The referendum on a contentious new constitution lies at the heart of a bitter political battle that has deeply polarized Egypt and triggered some of the worst street violence between backers and opponents of President Mohammed Morsi since he took power in June as the country's first democratically elected leader.
So far, Morsi has stood firm on the referendum, refusing to yield to opposition demands that he scrap the vote scheduled for Saturday. The opposition, meanwhile, was still trying to decide late Monday whether to boycott the referendum or rally Egyptians to vote "no" to the draft constitution, and hoping that a massive turnout for a rally Tuesday would force the president to cancel the balloting.
"We still have a chance, with popular rejection, to stop the referendum," said Basil Adel, a former lawmaker and liberal activist.
Egypt's political crisis began on Nov. 22 when Morsi issued a decree granting himself -- and the Islamist-dominated panel writing the constitution -- immunity from judicial oversight or challenge. Those decrees sparked mass demonstrations, with opponents saying they were issued initially to protect the draft charter from the judiciary.
10 Things to Know for Tuesday
Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and stories that will be talked about Tuesday:
The forfeiture by the British financial giant would be the biggest ever in a case involving a bank.
Judge: Strauss-Kahn, NYC hotel maid ink settlement in her lawsuit claiming sexual assault
NEW YORK (AP) -- Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn and a hotel maid settled her lawsuit Monday over sexual assault allegations that sank his political career and spurred scrutiny of his dealings with women on two continents.
The housekeeper, Nafissatou Diallo, looked composed and resolute as state Supreme Court Justice Douglas McKeon announced the confidential deal. Strauss-Kahn stayed in Paris and was mum when asked about the settlement, which came after prosecutors abandoned a related criminal case because they said Diallo had credibility problems.
"I thank everyone who supported me all over the world," Diallo, who has rarely spoken publicly since the May 2011 encounter between her and Strauss-Kahn, said softly after court.
"I thank God, and God bless you all," she added.
In a statement, Strauss-Kahn attorneys William Taylor III and Amit Mehta said the former diplomat was "pleased to have arrived at a resolution of this matter." They credited the judge with "patience and forbearance" that fostered the agreement.
Reservation gravediggers prepare to bury 5 slain tribal members in community cemetery in Calif
PORTERVILLE, Calif. (AP) -- Gravediggers work the old-fashioned way on the Tule River Indian Reservation, chipping away at the hard pan by hand with pickaxes and shoveling the dirt aside. They say it's a sign of respect not to use machinery, but never has the crew had to dig so many graves at one time.
On Monday, the brothers who run the reservation cemetery were preparing to dig a grave for Alyssa Celaya, 8, who died Sunday following a rampage the previous day that also took the lives of her grandmother and the grandmother's two brothers. It will be the first of five they'll dig this week.
The killings have shaken this peace-preaching tribe because it goes against their teachings that love for family exists above all.
Authorities said the killer was Alyssa's father, Hector Celaya, 31, who died Sunday after a shootout with sheriff's deputies. Investigators were still searching for a motive.
Along with killing his daughter, mother and uncles, Celaya wounded his 5-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son, whose injuries are life-threatening, authorities said.
AP source: HSBC to pay $1.9B in money-laundering probe; biggest forfeiture ever in bank case
WASHINGTON (AP) -- HSBC, the British banking giant, will pay $1.9 billion to settle a money-laundering probe by federal and state authorities in the United States, a law enforcement official said Monday.
The probe of the bank -- Europe's largest by market value -- has focused on the transfer of billions of dollars on behalf of nations like Iran, which are under international sanctions, and the transfer of money through the U.S. financial system from Mexican drug cartels.
According to the official, HSBC will pay $1.25 billion in forfeiture and pay $655 million in civil penalties. The $1.25 billion figure is the largest forfeiture ever in a case involving a bank. Under what is known as a deferred prosecution agreement, the financial institution will be accused of violating the Bank Secrecy Act and the Trading With the Enemy Act.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak about the matter on the record.
Under the deferred prosecution arrangement, HSBC will admit to certain misconduct, the official said, but the details of those admissions to be made in a New York court were not immediately available late Monday. Nevertheless the deferred prosecution agreement means the bank won't be prosecuted further if it meets certain conditions, such as strengthening its internal controls to prevent money laundering. The Justice Department has used such arrangements often in cases involving large corporations, notably in settlements of foreign bribery charges.
AP PHOTOS: World marks Human Rights Day
NEW YORK (AP) -- The United Nations marked Human Rights Day on Monday by declaring that everyone has the right to be heard and to shape the decisions that affect their lives and communities.
"International law is clear: No matter who you are, or where you live, your voice counts," U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said in his message for the day.
Minorities speaking out for themselves during protests included anti-war activists in Kabul, Afghanistan; exiled Tibetans in New Delhi and Rajasthan, India; and activists in Myanmar opposing a recent police crackdown on demonstrators there.
In Argentina, President Cristina Fernandez oversaw a fireworks display on Sunday, a day ahead of time, during a rally celebrating the 29th anniversary of the nation's return to democracy.
Here, in images, are scenes from World Human Rights Day as marked by people from around the world:
Jenni Rivera, soulful, troubled California-born superstar of Mexican-American music
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jenni Rivera launched her career hawking cassette recordings of her songs at flea markets, but a powerful voice, soulful singing style and frank discussion of personal troubles powered her to the heights of a male-dominated industry, transforming her into the one of the biggest stars of the genre known as grupero.
Her life was cut short at its peak on Sunday by an airplane crash in northern Mexico that also killed six friends and co-workers.
The 43-year-old mother of five and grandmother of two became a symbol of resilience for millions of fans on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border. Her fame grew as she branched out into acting, appearing in independent film, reality TV and the televised singing competition "La Voz Mexico."
She had recently filed for divorce from her third husband, was once detained at a Mexico City airport with tens of thousands of dollars in cash, and publicly apologized after her brother assaulted a drunken fan who verbally attacked her in 2011.
"I am the same as the public, as my fans," she told The Associated Press in an interview last March.
Another Fla. man sues ex-Elmo puppeteer; claims he was seduced as a teen, flown to NY for sex
MIAMI (AP) -- Another man on Monday sued the former Elmo puppeteer who resigned amid sex abuse allegations, claiming the voice actor befriended him in Miami and promised to be a father figure before flying the teen to New York to have sex with him.
The alleged victim is now the fourth to accuse Kevin Clash, who resigned from "Sesame Street" last month after 28 years. The three legal actions filed so far have been civil cases seeking financial compensation.
But the incident with the latest victim, referred to only as S.M., could involve criminal charges because the lawsuit claims Clash transported him across state lines for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity.
Attorney Jeff Herman said he encouraged his client to report the incident to authorities but it's unclear if the now-33-year-old alleged victim has done so.
Sexual abuse allegations against Clash triggered a media frenzy last month. He quickly denied the first claim, which was recanted the next day. But Clash then resigned after a 24-year-old college student, Cecil Singleton, sued him for $5 million, saying the actor engaged in sexual behavior with him when he was 15.
Patriots jump into 21-0 halftime lead over Texans behind 3 TD passes by Tom Brady
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brady stunned the mistake-prone Houston Texans with touchdown passes on his first three possessions and the New England Patriots led the team with the NFL's best record 21-0 at halftime on Monday night.
Taking advantage of disorganization and poor coverage by the Texans, Brady hit Aaron Hernandez with a 7-yard scoring pass, Brandon Lloyd with a 37-yarder and Hernandez again with a 4-yard toss 4 minutes into the second quarter.
The misery continued for the Texans when they went for it on fourth-and-5 at the Patriots 33, but Matt Schaub's incompletion gave New England the ball with 4:44 left in the half. The Patriots stopped the Texans on fourth down again 1:52 before intermission.
For the first 30 minutes, the much-hyped matchup between the Texans (11-1) and the Patriots (9-3) was a mismatch.
Brady finished the half 13 for 19 for 165 yards and threw a scoring pass for the 45th straight game, the third-longest streak of all-time. Schaub was 12 for 23 for 159 yards

A new strain of the highly contagious norovirus has reached the U.S. from Australia.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that the new norovirus, named GII.4 Sydney because it's believed to have started in Sydney, Australia, is currently the leading cause of norovirus outbreaks in the U.S.
In the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report released Jan. 25, the norovirus is described as: the leading cause of epidemic gastroenteritis, including food-borne outbreaks, in the U.S. Hospitalization and mortality associated with norovirus infection occur most frequently among elderly persons, young children, and immune-compromised patients.
An article in Time, Health and Family reported that the norovirus is: often confused with the stomach flu because of its contemporaneous circulation with influenza during winter months, norovirus causes 21 million cases of illness, often involving severe vomiting and diarrhea, 70,000 hospitalizations each year in the U.S., and 800 deaths. Where influenza is a respiratory illness, norovirus, which comes in five forms, favors the stomach and intestinal tract, causing inflammation of tissues that leads to pain, nausea, and the diarrhea and vomiting.
Time reports that the CDC says 51 percent of the cases in the U.S. were caused by person-to-person transmission, and 20 percent resulted from contaminated food. Most infections occur in places where large numbers of people are gathered, such as schools, nursing homes and cruise ships, where the virus can pass easily from host to host.
In Australia, the CDC said long-term–care facilities and restaurants were the most frequently reported settings of the GII.4 Sydney outbreaks. The rate of infection increases in places where large numbers of people are gathered and the virus is passed quickly from host to host.
The CDC reports reports the new strain of norovirus was first identified in March 2012 in Australia and has since sickened people on several continents.
According to Time: Historically, the GII strains have caused more severe illness than other versions of the virus, but officials at the CDC says it is too early in the season to determine if GII.4 Sydney is infecting people at higher rates than in previous years. The norovirus season runs from November through March and cases typically peak in January.
"Although most of the time you recover after 24 or 48 hours, [norovirus] is a reason for people to come to the emergency room, and is even responsible for a small number of death each year. It's not a completely innocuous virus and can certainly ruin a vacation," Dr. John Treanor, chief of the Infectious Diseases Division at the University of Rochester Medical Center told Time.
So far, no treatments exist for the norovirus but Treanor told Time a group of scientists are currently testing a vaccine developed by LigoCyte Pharmaceuticals. The shot contains a part of the norovirus' outer layer, which they hope will generate a strong immune response in those who get immunized.
Preventing infection with norovirus is similar to protecting against influenza.
The CDC recommends the following:
- Wash your hands carefully with soap and water, especially after using the bathroom or changing diapers and before handling food.
- Carefully wash produce and seafood before cooking and consuming them. Cook oysters and other shellfish thoroughly before eating them. Be aware that noroviruses are relatively resistant. They can survive temperatures as high as 140°F and quick steaming processes that are often used for cooking shellfish.
- When you're sick, wait 2-3 days after you recover before preparing food for anyone. Many local and state health departments require that food handlers and preparers with norovirus illness not work until at least 2 to 3 days after they recover. If you were recently sick, you can be given different duties in the restaurant, such as working at a cash register or hosting.
- Immediately clean any infected or contaminated surfaces and wash laundry thoroughly after throwing up or having diarrhea. Immediately clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces. Use a chlorine bleach solution with a concentration of 1000–5000 ppm (5–25 tablespoons of household bleach [5.25%] per gallon of water) or other disinfectant registered as effective against norovirus by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

A Pennsylvania man is accused of shooting his daughter's ex-boyfriend through the heart with a hunting arrow and stuffing the dismembered body into a barrel, police said.
Gerald Vandyke, 55, had been missing since Sept. 14. Pennsylvania State Police found what they believe is his body Friday in a rural section of Crawford County in northwest Pennsylvania, about two miles from the home of 68-year-old Richard Houy, who has been charged with Vandyke's murder.
Additional DNA testing will be needed to confirm the victim's identity, because his head and hands were missing, but investigators said they are confident that the remains belong to Vandyke. An autopsy revealed that the man died of a ruptured aorta pierced by a hunting arrow, said Dr. Eric Vey, a forensic pathologist.
Houy was jailed after he confessed to the crime in an interview with state police last week, according to a search warrant affidavit. He told investigators that he killed Vandyke following an argument, and then dumped his body in a creek.
But Tina Skelton, Vandyke's live-in girlfriend of 10 years and Houy's daughter, told police a different story. She said she had broken up with Vandyke about three weeks before his disappearance, but the pair co-owned 26 acres of property in neighboring Erie County.
Skelton said she last saw Vandyke on the morning of Sept. 14. Later that evening, she went to her father's house, where Houy confessed to killing Vandyke, according to the affidavit. Skelton reported Vandyke missing the following day.
Skelton said she believed her father used a chainsaw to cut off Vandyke's head and hands before disposing of his remains. The victim's head and hands have not yet been recovered, police said.
Details for this story were reported by The Meadville (Pa.) Tribune.

As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of 'The Little Prince' once said, "He who would travel happily must travel light." As the smallest in our carry-on safari luggage series, the PR4 is perfect for overnight airline travel, as a gym bag, or a passenger seat companion for overland travel.
Featuring plenty of exterior pockets for organizing your gear and a cavernous interior compartment, the PR4 Safari Beanos Duffel holds more than you thought possible. Handy spacious end pockets allow easy access to your 'must have' gear, especially useful when stuffing the PR4 under the seat, be it plane, train, or bus. Both pockets zip halfway down their sides for easy access to buried belongings.
A zippered front flat pocket keeps your passport handy. The pass-through panel on the back side is designed for use as a docking sleeve with wheeled luggage. Unzip top and bottom zippers and slip it over the wheeled bag's telescoping carry handle (or leave the bottom zipper closed and it doubles as a second flat exterior pocket).
The spacious center compartment has a unique open flap with twin zippers that allow you to peel away the flap for unhindered access to your belongings. Twin steel turn locks keep the flap secure.
Like most of our duffel bags, the PR4 includes the famous Claw nonslip padded shoulder strap. Attached using heavy-duty 360 degree "claw-like" swivels, this hardware will endure any abuse you can throw at it. Quickly detaches for storage inside in case you use your PR4 carry-on for checked luggage.
Ladies, if you want to use this on your next flight, stick your purse in this spacious bag's center compartment and use it as your "personal item" in conjunction with your primary carry-on, such as an Air Boss or Sky Train.
For the men out there, fill it to the brim, and travel in the same carry-on manner. Designed for the minimalist traveler out there, the Red Oxx Safari Beanos PR4 is still packed to the gills with overbuilt features that will serve you for a lifetime of travel.

After the break up of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited large quantities of weapons and ammunition. At the end of their service life, the surplus munitions become unusable. Often they are left outside, exposed to heat and humidity, which can cause them to become very unstable. Explosions at storage depots are always a risk. Sudden and often unexplained detonations pose a threat to people in the area.
To help make the area around depots safer for the local population, NATO is currently running a Trust Fund project in Ukraine to destroy the surplus munitions. "The primary purpose of the project is the destruction of stockpiles which are a threat to the population," says Dr Frederic Peugeot, Trust Fund project manager with the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA), which oversees work on the project.
Col. Oleh Levchenko, First Secretary of Defence and representative of the National Armament Director at Ukraine's diplomatic mission to NATO, underscores the value of the initiative: "As the Trust Fund project provides not only the expertise and assets, but also allocates most of the funds needed for weapons destruction and ammunition demilitarization, its importance cannot be underestimated," he says. "This project serves as a good example of constructive cooperation between Ukraine and NATO."
Disposing of a deadly legacy
This project is a continuation of a previous five-year NATO Trust Fund project in Ukraine. During the first phase of the project, an explosive waste incinerator was built at the Donetsk State Chemical Plant and 400,000 small arms and light weapons, 15,000 tonnes of ammunition, 1,000 man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) and 500 grip stocks were destroyed.
The second phase of the project, launched in May 2012, is focusing on disposing of an additional 366,000 small arms and light weapons, demilitarizing 76,000 tonnes of conventional ammunition including three million PFM-1 anti-personnel landmines.
The United States is the lead nation for the 25 million Euro project. "There is a basic need in Ukraine for this type of work and NATO is fulfilling that requirement," says Rigo Garza, Political Officer with the United States Mission to NATO.
Building on the experience contractors gained in the first phase of the project means faster implementation this time around. The project is expected to be completed within four years.

Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
I've been looking into getting an Intuos4 (still working off of an [ab]used Wacom Graphire) and something I've seen in the reviews that concerns me is the increased nib wear.
The Intuos4 comes with 4 different kinds of nibs:
5 "standard"
3 "felt"
1 "flex"
1 "stroke"
My question is do all of these nibs wear out faster than the Intuos3's? or is it just the Felt ones?
And which of the Intuos4's nibs is more like the Intuos3's default nib?
I've had my Graphire for years and years and never replaced the nib once, and I've heard similar testimonies for the Intuos3.
I'd rather get a tablet that's a step behind the times instead of something designed to make me buy new nibs every five minutes, you know?
I've also heard conflicting reviews about the surface, is it rougher or the same as the Intuos3?
thanks for any help!
It's rougher than the intuos3, but it's not noticeable if you slide your hand over. What I understand it's basically some of the functions of the Bamboo (detachable cord, surface and black nibs) and integrated with intuos4 tech.
The Standard Black nibs are basically the standard white nibs. However, for some reason when using the white nibs, I get that odd "tailtip" when inking. Like the stroke has a "tick" at the beginning. I'll have to play around a bit more to find out. I have a lot of extra nibs I've acquired over owning a lot of intuos previously XD.
The Stroke nib is the one with the spring, these also wear down fairly quickly. I just did a drawing project and noticed it made an angled chiseled point in a day from actual use (I mean like doing a project that will take hours). Not good.
There is one new nib which is the "Flex" it looks like a "Q-tip"
The other nibs came in more or less the same as the intuos3 ones given to you.
Now, what could be done is that wacom can release a frictionless sheet, because at the same time, they've released friction sheets for the intuos3. So basically gotta wait for more parts and accessories for the intuos4.
Thanks for the knowledge Arshes! and let me know how the older Intuos nib models hold up for you if you can get them to behave.
I really enjoy the slippery plastic on plastic feel, would I be giving that up on the Intuos4? I think I've seen in other threads people say it feels more realistic, like drawing on paper.
Aren't there widescreen format intuos 3s?
You could buy those friction sheets and use them on intuos 4.
I just received an Intuos 4 a week ago, and after a week of daily use with a standard nib, it is indeed already wearing down.
Overall, however, I consider the tablet a definite improvement from my Intuos 2. The new tablet feels much more like drawing on paper (instead the slippery plastic-on-plastic my Intuos 2 had), and I've needed a new wide-screen aspect tablet to match my monitor for some time.
For me, it was a no-brainier, anyway. I had to purchase a new Photoshop license, and getting the Large tablet + Photoshop was only $50 more than Photoshop alone. I'm very, very happy with it.. even if I can tell already nibs are going to need occasional replacement.
Oh, for people that only have so many USB ports and choose to use the Wacom mouse... movement is now in relation to the mouse orientation, instead of the tablet! (Maybe Intuos 3 did this as well, but it was a nice surprise!)
I'm hoping they come out with the pen accessory kits and overlays soon like the Intuos3 had.
It's exactly the same texture as the bamboo fun's, which is a shame. I just sold a bamboo fun medium to buy an intuos4 small b/c I hated the surface, and got the same one. I also have an intuos3 6x8, that I have to return to school and I actually like that one more.
My plan is to buy an intuos3 surface sheet ($14.95+ s/h) that is a size bigger and cut it to fit. I'm not sure how well I'll be able to do that with an exacto, especialy the beveled edges.
I have my sensitivity bumped up almost all the way. I've been working on a painting for a few hours tonight and I can already see wearing on the nib. They need to make replacement surfaces soon!
An e-mail I received back quite quickly from Wacom:
Hi Chris,
Thank you for sending in the email and voicing your dissatisfaction of the surface sheet on the Intuos4 tablet. If you use the standard plastic nib, you should not go through them very fast. Try adjusting the settings to a softer tip feel. Wacom does not have any plans at this time to change the surface sheet on the Intuos4, but I will pass along your email to our product managers.
You can also go to your local craft / art supply store and get "Mylar" paper and cut to fit your tablet. Use double sided sticky tape along the top to hold it down to the tablet.
We are sorry to hear you are not happy with the tablet surface sheet.
I only use the stroke nib and it has lasted for 2 years without needing to be replaced. 8 hours a day. I work on soft to medium pressure on the wacom options. Nibs last longer the softer you have to press.

Jason, you're missing the point. Your nibs are lasting for years because of the surface you're using.
Interesting... I did have to replace my nib once on my Graphire3. I've own it for 5 years but there was a year or two where I barely touched it. I think it may also have something to do with the pen pressure of the individual, besides the surface/model.
I don't own an intuos4 but looking at photos of it give me a turn on. o__o'
Hi. Sorry for reviving what might be considered a dead thread, but I just purchased an intuos4 recently and I am having some issues with the feel of the drawing area. It is considerably rougher than the last tablet I used, and it's driving me a little crazy (I thought I might get used to it after a while, but I've worked on it for about a week straight and it still feels 'wrong'). The finish is also wearing out my nib already, which is amazing to me considering I never replaced the nib on my last pen/tablet and used it consistently for 15 years!
I'm tempted to head out to the art supply store tomorrow for a sheet of mylar as suggested above, but I thought I would ask the community if anyone knows of an official accessory to mitigate this problem. I see that you can buy replacement sheets from wacom directly, but the product description doesnt indicate if the sheets come in a variety of finishes:
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I am not really happy with intuos 4 tablets.. I prefer 2 and 3.. feels so flat HARD.. and the nibs wear out so much quicker.. I am using intuos3 nibs and they seems a little better. I had to replace 4 nibs twice in the past 6 months.. and I use the softest setting..
The replacement sheets aren't smooth. From Wacom customer support:
"The transparent replacement sheets has also a rough surface. If you pull off the current sheet and turn it around to use the backside, that is rather slippery."

I wonder what glue they recommend.
I like new surface, it is similar feeling as drawing on paper, but nibs are wearing out really fast, smoothest settings in wacom setup.
Will try intuos 3 nibs, maybe there is some difference, thanks bumskee
I found a very nice piece of thick, semi-flexible clear plastic at the office store. It is the kind used to protect the top of desks from daily wear and tear. Very slick and resilient. I'm cutting it up to size and mounting it over the work area on my int4. I'll let you know if this turns out to be a viable work around.
Ok, got the work around installed and used it all day. So far, this is working out pretty well. Here's a bit more info in case anyone else out there is considering it:
The plastic I used is a Clear Glassy Top Desk Pad (item #660-763) I picked up from Home Depot for about $15. There was almost (but not quite) enough plastic left over for two large intuos4 surfaces. You could easily get 2 medium tablets covered from one desk pad (use one, with a second for back-up?). The pad is pretty flexible and a couple millimeters thick. If you cut it on a professional cutting board, you can get nice, straight edges, which look tidy. Anyway, a half-dozen small pieces of double-sided scotch tape have secured the pad over the tablet firmly, but not so firmly you cant get it off if needed. The pad is made of pvc and is smooth as glass, which is how I like it. My nibs seem to like it too, as they glide over the work surface like ice (as opposed to sand paper, which is how it felt before). Prior to this work around, my nibs were getting chewed up at an alarming rate (see my above post). I think this new low-friction surface will improve the life of my nibs a hundred fold.
The one potential drawback I identified today is that pressing super hard on the surface can dimple it. Like I said, this type of pad is a couple milimeters thick: while it is pretty durable, nibs are pointy and pushing very hard can leave marks. I dont have my sensitivity settings tweaked yet, so maximizing them might do away with this altogether. Another way to avoid this would be to get a different type of pad which isnt so thick (a flat sheet of mylar, for example). If this gets to be a problem in the days to come, I'll edit my post and let you know.
So far so good, though. Love the new slick feel. Cant believe Wacom doesnt have options for this to cater to those of us who dont like the new, rougher texture.
I'm really glad I found this thread. I had heard about the nibs wearing down quickly. I've had a graphire4 for about 3 years, and have needed to replace the nib for the past 4 months but have never gotten around to it. I'm hoping to get an intuos4 sometime within the next two months.
I'll probably be purchasing some mylar sheets like Wacom suggested, and if I do get the intuos4 I'll let you know how they work.
update: Got the intuos4, still trying to get used to it, feel is much different then the graphire.
After using it for a few hours the nib did indeed wear down the slightest bit. I tried putting it at the highest sensitivity but it was way too sensitive so I have resorted to putting a piece of plastic wrap over the nib on the pen, which seems to be working. Going to buy some mylar paper as soon as I can get a ride to the craft store.

It's easier to draw with though, and the change in levels of pen pressure is very obvious. I find the active area is much more proportional to my screen then the graphire with it's more square shape.
The only thing I don't like about it which has nothing to do with its working ability is because of the black shiny surface, it gets dirty-looking very quickly. The expresskeys are very useful, but my favorite part is the touch ring, which lets you adjust brush size quickly and zoom in/out as if you were using an ipod.
All in all, I think you should get it. I'd love to know if you do get it though if you find the roughness of the active area odd like I do.
Hello, everyone! I'm new to this site and was glad to find an article addressing my concerns with the Intuos 4. You all seem to have a helpful, vibrant community here. I decided to join so I could ask for some clarification on this Intuos3 versus 4 issue. I have never owned a computer tablet before and will be getting an Intuos4 in the mail either today or tomorrow. I've read online about peoples' concerns with the device and I must say it has me concerned too! Thank you in advance for your time; here are my questions:
I'm under the impression that the Intuos3 and earlier nibs are better than the Intuos4 nibs. Can you, in fact, use the older nibs with the Intuos4 pen?
If you can use these older nibs, where is the best place to buy them?
Lastly, what are some things I should know before first using my new tablet? Are there any tips or things I should have in mind to make my experience with it as best as possible?
My nibs have stopped wearing down... because my surface has worn out! I've not had it a year yet and it's polished all slick like the Intuos3. Suppose it's good news for those who like it like that... just persevere!
I'm not happy about it, but I love the new surface too much to want to cover and protect it. I just ordered a replacement surface from the Wacom store... along with some nibs
Nananaw: I just popped an intuos3 nib into my pen and it works fine. I imagine they can be found in the official wacom store, amazon or ebay. The Intuos4 comes with plenty of nibs though, I've still got most of them left. The only one too worn out to function is the new "flex" nib, which is what I ordered.
Thanks for posting your experiences Liz, I just got an Intuos 4 for christmas after using an Intuos 2 for about 8 years and completely *hate* the roughness of the surface, im glad to know its going to get worn down to that glassy feel once again - the pen drag is driving me nuts after just one day.

Only lawyers and painters can turn white to black. ~japanese proverb
Here are some surfaces that people use and that you could try to avoid nib wear:
- laminating photo paper
- super-smooth 250 lb color-copier paper (Siedler/Canon)
- transparent printing paper, overhead sheets
- Intuos3 sheet (don't know if this is gluey on the back, so might not actually work without messing up the tablet)
- clear plastic desk protector, clear glossy TopDeskPad, PVC
- Mylar, paper vellum (plasticized)
- thin plexiglas/acrylic glass
- thin tracing sheet (plastic)
Apply to Intuos4 with double sided painter's tape, electrical tape, scotch tape or medical tape.
Some people also use smoothed toothpicks which I find to be a bit ridiculous. Since the nibs don't have any function except activating the pressure sensor, it is a better idea to find a local craftsman who can make you a couple of nibs out of a hard non-metallic material like glass, or cover your existing nib tips with such.
This should make the nibs indestructible although the surface sheet of the Intuos4 will still wear down. This can result in an uneven distribution of smoothness, so using an alternate cover sheet might still be in order.
The other option is using smooth sandpaper to evenly smoothen the existing Intuos4 surface to the level of an Intuos3. From that point on the surface and nibs should only show minimal wear, if any.
Depending on the surface you choose, you might have to use an artist's glove since not all of them (but some) allow skin to glide smoothly. This comes down to trying different materials at an art or office supply store.
Hope it helps.

Angioedema is a common condition that involves swelling beneath the surface of the skin with or without redness. Angioedema can occur around the eyelids and lips, or on the face, hands, feet, or genitalia. Since this condition can cause swelling of the airways, it is important that you seek medical care if you think you have angioedema.
Angioedema is often associated with urticaria (hives). It can be caused by:
- Foods (eg, fruits, shellfish, nuts)
- Medications (eg, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ACE inhibitors, ARB inhibitors, penicillin, aspirin, morphine)
- Infection
- Inhaled substances (eg, pollens, mold spores, animal dander)
- Certain diseases (eg, hyperthyroidism , cancer , rheumatic fever )
- Environment (eg, cold, heat, water)
- Skin contact with plants, animals, or medications
- Skin disease
- Family history
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. The following risk factors increase your chance of developing angioedema. If you have any of these risk factors, tell your doctor:
- Age: 30-60 years old
- Other conditions:
- Gender: female
- Drinking alcohol
- Taking NSAIDs drugs
- Emotional stress
- Hyperthyroidism
- Menstruation
If you experience any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to angioedema. These symptoms may be caused by other health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your physician.
- Large swelling with unclear borders around the eyelids and lips
- Lesions on the face, trunk, genitals, and extremities
- Swelling of the hands and feet
- Swelling of the throat
- Abdominal pain
- Rash that is not itchy
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include the following:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Skin tests
- Throat culture
- Stool sample
- Abdominal ultrasound
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Minor episodes of angioedema may need no treatment. However, it is important to make sure the swelling does not spread to the airway, which can be life-threatening. Treatment options include the following:
- Medications—Certain medications (eg, antihistamines, epinephrine, corticosteroids, and pain medications) may help ease symptoms of angioedema.
- Tracheostomy —If your airway is affected, your doctor may place a tube in your throat to keep your airway open.
If you are diagnosed with angioedema, follow your doctor's instructions .
To help reduce your chances of developing this condition, avoid substances or triggers that have caused hives or angioedema in the past.

Dan England
Dedicated to those we love and miss dearly.
Moderator: Team Cub
Re: Dan England
Our condolences to the whole family. Although Dan and I haven't yet met in person, we shared dozens of phone/skype conversations and countless email's/pm's over the past 4 or 5 years. He was a friend and someone I respected immensely. He was an educator for sure and he taught me many things that will benefit my writing and my research for the rest of my life. He was a mentor to me and to so many others on the forum. I feel privileged to have known him.
I knew that he wasn't well and that in the last few months I felt with the tone of his posts that things were not progressing as he had hoped. I felt honoured to be someone whom he would confide some things in. He always made me feel very comfortable and a friend.
This passage has always given me peace and helped a lot when my Dad passed, my hope is that it may provide some peace for you and the family.
May the Lord bless you, and keep you;
May the Lord make His countenance shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
May the Lord turn His countenance to you and grant you peace. (+)
You are all in our prayers.

Re: Dan England
I have had many conversations with Dan over the years and considered him a friend and an important part of my forum family. Please accept our condolences on your loss.
Re: Dan England
I had the privilege of knowing only electronically over the past several years. Dan went above and beyond in providing much needed parts for Roland. Additionally, he sent me a great deal of small cub parts at NO CHARGE to be either used on my cubs to get them going or to keep them "in stock" in case a member has a need. I have honored Dan's request several times in the past year and have sent these parts along to other members who have found themselves in need. Although I have never met the man in person, I am a better person for having met him electronically. He will be missed!!

Re: Dan England
I knew Dan for several years and consider him one of the finest individuals I've ever met. He helped me acquire several implements and a host of parts over the years. We met on numerous occasions. My Dad joins me in sending our condolences to you and your family. Take comfort in knowing that he's in a better place with no suffering. He was a pillar of honesty and integrity for this tractor forum, and I'm sure for the whole England family. May God bless you and your family.
Re: Dan England
I met Dan at the Tumble, and then two years ago visited him to pick up some Cub Express parts. We had a catfish dinner across the river and an enjoyable chat at his house. I'm sure sorry to hear that we have lost him.

So Long Good Friend
Dear family,
We are saddened to hear of your loss, and grateful that you shared your father with us for all these years. Your father was universally respected and liked on this forum, both for his thoughtful subjects of conversation, and for his respectful and gracious nature which transcended the boundaries of our internet format. He will be missed, but remembered fondly.
Dan and I exchanged a good many late night or early morning conversations about a broad variety of subjects, all thoughtful and sincere. I still have one message he sent me over three years ago; where out of the blue, Dan offered a compliment that is still meaningful to me, and for which I will remember him always.
Perhaps the most meaningful record we have of your father's character, is the thoughtful and courageous way he dealt with his health and considered your future without him. Rest assured, you all meant the world to your father, your well-being was foremost in his mind. And while you are undoubtedly suffering great sadness as you move through this difficult time, search thoroughly for the fondest and most cherished memories you can muster, and seal them now in your heart. And that will see you through this time in a way that will honor him and all he meant to each of you.
Fondly and in Dan's memory,
Charles Russell--Corky

Re: Dan England
Like many others here on the forum, I never had the opportunity to know Dan personally, but I've always had the utmost respect for him, due to his outstanding presence here. May the family take great pride & comfort in the knowledge that he touched so many lives in such a positive way.

These curtains are wonderful! We noticed a big difference the first night they were hanging up. It gets cold here in No. California but the curtains help keep the heat from the fireplace in and therefore we are using less wood! Also, the "blackout" effect is super. Close the curtains during the day and you have a movie theater in your own living-room (or whatever room you have the curtains in). The quality of the curtains is outstanding they are heavy-duty without being heavy. I love the grommet feature, it made installing them a breeze and opening and closing the curtains is simply a pull in either direction. What more can I say? I am going to buy more of these curtains for my bedrooms because I love them so much. They are so economical and they keep the heat in. I can't wait to see how they perform in the summer as our windows are West facing and get the full blast of the summer sun - I'm certain they will make a huge difference. Buy some today!
I can't believe I went so long without blackout/thermal curtains in the childrens room. It has been one of best buys ever. At night the curtains block out nearly all of the city buildings lights and during the day, there is a soft hue of red in the room during nap time. I think the curtains have really enhanced the quality of their sleep. After the initial wash out of the packaging they came out of the wash great. They will be easy to care for when the need arises to clean them again in the future. There is not a separate blackout curtain material sewn as a lining, rather the material is of a thicker quality and is one piece. I think they will stand up to wear and tear of being in a child's room. The pair in the curtain adequately covers a 54inch window opening, but any larger window you might want to look at getting two pairs and joining them or look for wider curtains in order to get good window coverage. I'm thrilled with this purchase.
I ordered several of these for home. I ordered the beige color, but it was more of a camel color, to my delight. They are so SOFT ! I love that the front and back are the same, as we are using a few sets as room dividers at night. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 stars is because we had a heck of a time getting the wrinkles out. We tried several times in the dryer with a damp cloth, but that didn't work. My sweet husband ending up steaming each wrinkle out with a steamer--it took an hour. They look great now !!
When the curtains arrived, I immediatelhy hung them up. I did not have to iron out the creases as they fell out upon hanging the curtains. Have received rave reviews on how the curtains looked. My neighbor bought the same curtains for an astronomical price and was visibly upset when I revealed the price I paid to her. Great bargain and the quality is just great. Thanks O.com.
The color is not a true Olive but has a lot of blue/grey tones. Worked with colors in my rug but not for someone who wants a true olive. Nice Fabric. For this price, very nice looking.
Total blackout curtains, ordered chocolate brown 95"... the color is a more of a dark chestnut chocolate brown as opposed to an espresso brown, if you're trying to match other items in the room. Because of the grommets, the panels hang away from the window a bit, which allows light at the top to come in. I draped a coordinating scarf over the top to block the light. Great blackout drapes at a fantastic price!!
I bought some supposed "blackout" honeycomb blinds from ****** ********* *** ******that were utter crap (and they didn't post any of my negative reviews either!). After awhile of angrily waking up at dawn I found these on overstock and hoped the they would live up to the reviews. And they did! I got the navy and they perfectly blackout the light in our morning sun wall of windows bedroom. They are also a nice material (not stiff or awkward) as others have mentioned which is rare to find in black out curtains. I'll definitely be buying some for our guest bedroom soon (as soon as I can decide on the color!)
We bought 2 pairs of red curtains for our master bedroom, after receiving the products, we are pleased with the darkening effect and we ordered 3 more in grey for other bedrooms. The light grey is less darkening, but the fabric texture is satisfactory. This is the best black out curtain I have purchased online so far. Excellent price for value.
We purchased four pairs of these curtains, two in royal blue, one in biege and then another in wine. First all the colors are gorgeous. Most important, at first I doubted the "thermal" quality. The fabric has a heavy silky quality but no obvious thermal insulation just really pretty washable fabric. BUT ... we live in Phoenix AZ and when I closed the living room curtains against yesterday's afternoon sun and 108 temperature the heat was very noticeably subdued.
I wish I would have found these earlier, because I would have ordered them for my entire home. They feel and look luxurious, the wrinkles disappeared after a few days and hanging them was a breeze. The grommets are big enough to fit and look good on just about any size and style curtain rod. They are so easy to open and close-no hang ups where rods overlap each other. I could not be happier with them.
