By JIM NOLAN
Richmond Times-Dispatch
WASHINGTON - Many who come to the nation's capital as a congressman or senator become so taken with their newfound status and occupation that they do everything they can just to stay in power.
The idea of walking away from it all, then, would seem strange to many occupants of higher office.
Not to Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va. - that rarest of politicians who does not play politics; a war hero, best-selling author, lawyer, Southeast Asia expert and father of six, who didn't need the job perhaps as much as it needed him.
"He's the most apolitical senator I've ever met," said Larry Sabato, head of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. "Many people run for the Senate to be something, rather than do something" - but not Webb, said Sabato.
He described Webb as a restless, "been there, done that, close the door" kind of guy. "For a one-term senator he's got quite a legacy," Sabato added. "I've watched senators serve three, four, five terms and have less to show for it."
After one six-year term, Webb, 66, leaves office in January, to be succeeded by former Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, who defeated George Allen, also a former governor and senator.
Webb, who has a 6-year-old daughter and the desire to write and think outside of the beltway for a bit, said the timing is about right.
"This is the fourth cycle I've had in public service _ the military, then committee counsel, the Pentagon and now this," he said during an interview while sitting in an empty conference room in his Senate suite of offices in the Russell Building.
"And it's been my unconscious, or subconscious, professional cycle that I step out for a while."
Webb appears ready to go. Bare nails hang on the walls where recently had hung plaques and pictures chronicling his public service career, which began in 1969 in the Marines.
Webb served as an infantry officer in Vietnam and was awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts.
He moved to Washington as a lawyer for the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, and later served under President Ronald Reagan as an undersecretary of defense and secretary of the Navy.
He ran for Senate in 2006, narrowly defeating Allen, the Republican incumbent at the time, by a little more than 9,000 votes after Allen self-destructed with his "macaca" remark to an Indian-American Democratic staffer.
Despite having never served in elected office, Webb knew what he was getting into when he came to the Senate, he said.
"I understood from the beginning how the place worked. I had a pretty good sense of the realities coming in, and given those realities . I look back and think we gave everybody exactly what we said we were going to."
Webb's signature legislative achievement was a "Post-9/11 GI Bill" in 2008, which many consider the most comprehensive veterans legislation since World War II.
Drawing on his military and private-sector experience, Webb also took the lead in foreign policy outreach to Southeast Asia, trying to build better relationships in the region through numerous overseas diplomatic trips.
"When I came to the Senate, I said we were going to focus on reinvigorating the relationships with Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and to change the formula in Burma (now Myanmar)," Webb said.
"It's not something that resonates in state politics, but for the good of the country I look at that and I think it's just incredible what we were able to do," he added. "We had a strategic vision for the country and we drove it."
He spoke out against the exercise of presidential authority, criticizing Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama for their use of military force without congressional sanction.
Webb also devoted a considerable time on criminal justice reform. His office spent 2 1/2 years building consensus on both sides of the aisle to address all aspects of the system _ from apprehension, to incarceration, re-entry, gangs and drugs.
Ultimately, however, the bipartisan effort to fund a $14 million commission to weigh reforms was defeated in a GOP Senate filibuster. In Webb's estimation it was a casualty of the partisan division that hampers Washington from doing the people's business.
"The difficulty in the country right now is that it is so divided _ so divided in large blocks on both sides," he said. "My biggest worry in the political sense is that we are not _ for all the money that is going into these campaigns _ we are not having the debates that need to be held about key issues of governance."

Last night Grazia joined the likes of Ashley Olsen, Pixie Geldof and Daisy Lowe in the French Capital for H&M's first catwalk show at Paris Fashion Week. We were super excited to rub shoulders with the likes of supermodel Cara Delevingne in the Skandi-themed setting of the high-street stalwart's high fashion presentation and it looks like A-list actress Chloë Moretz was too. The star of Kick-Ass posted a montage featuring Cara, Pixie and Daisy along with the caption 'Thanks H&M for a great night'. The actress has become somewhat of a front row regular - and a welcome one at that - having attended the Dior Couture in Paris last month and Milan Fashion Week last season.
One Direction have offered their fans a superb caption competition today. The photo in question is of boyband hunk Harry Styles being held aloft by two men who we can only assume from their muscular builds are part of 1D's security team. We haven't had any bright ideas so far but we're sure the Directioners will be working on it.
And finally, Poppy Delevingne has shared the weirdest photo Instagram Pics of the Day has ever seen featuring a box of kittens with Ryan Gosling's face superimposed on them. While we don't understand what it means we urge you to take a look - cats + Gosling = what's not to love?

Customer relationship management (CRM) is all about managing the relationships you have with your customers. CRM combines business processes, people, and technology to achieve this single goal: getting and keeping customers. It's an overall strategy to help you learn more about their behavior so you can develop stronger, lasting relationships that will benefit both of you. It's very hard to run a successful business without a strong focus on CRM, as well as adding elements of social media and making the transition to a social enterprise to connect with customers in new ways.
Successful CRM involves many different areas of your company, starting with sales and extending to other customer-facing areas like marketing and customer service. Salesforce.com offers a technology solution for all those areas… and more. With Salesforce and our Force.com cloud computing platform, you can mind your customers and your budget at the same time. Get up and running in 30 days with the world's most proven CRM solution. Get started with a free trial of Salesforce.
CRM solutions help ensure that your sales, marketing, and support efforts are all working toward a common goal, so you can take your business success to a whole new level. Streamline and automate business processes, give everyone in your company a complete view of the customer, provide deeper analysis and insight into critical sales and customer metrics, and keep everyone focused on getting new customers while keeping the ones you already have happy.
Cloud computing has the IT world abuzz. But what exactly is it? Traditional client/server CRM software is a dying breed. The CRM software market has shifted from an ownership to a rental model, freeing businesses from the hassle and expense of software purchasing, deployment, and maintenance.
Cloud computing is another way to describe the much more compelling model of delivering business software over the Internet. With the Web, you can cut costs because you only pay to use the software instead of purchasing it. A multitenant platform with a single, common infrastructure and code base that is centrally maintained makes this model possible.
For the past 15 years, we've focused on one goal — creating a platform for customer success. Today, businesses of all sizes need a platform that allows them to go faster and scale like never before.

Round 17 continues on Super Saturday and with all the permutations out the way, basically a defeat now for any team outside the top six will all but end their play-off chances.
Four games to preview, lets get to it then shall we?
Blues v Western Force
Eden Park, Auckland
Two injury-depleted teams on the wrong end of the table face off in Auckland hoping to avoid finishing in the bottom two in the standings.
While yet another poor campaign from the Force has come as no surprise, most pundits expected the star-studded Blues to shake off their early-season woes and climb up the standings. The Aucklanders have had no such luck so far with just two wins (against the Bulls and Lions) all year.
The Blues have come under massive fire for their dismal season but coach Pat Lam will point to their long injury list and plead for mitigating circumstances. But there will be no excuses for losing to a travelling Force side deprived of the services of David Pocock.
The revolving door at the Blues' nurses office has been in full swing again this week. While Keven Mealamu has finally returned, outside backs Rudi Wulf and David Raikuna are the latest casualties.
But the man most people will have an eye on is All Black centre Ma'a Nonu, who is raring to make an impact after enjoying a five-week break during the June Test window. Rumours are that Sonny Bill Williams will not play in the Rugby Championship due an impending move to Japan (and then the NRL) and Nonu has been kept fresh as a result.
So far this season Nonu has failed to show the kind form that once made him the first-choice 12 for the world champs. It's time for him to come good. Likewise, Piri Weepu, who starts, also needs to show why he deserves a place in New Zealand's squad.
Also keep and eye on ex-Blues centre Winston Stanley, who lines up in the visitors' midfield.
Morale can't be very high in the Force side, who have won just one game since late March. They still have plenty to play for, however, as they try to climb above the Rebels at the foot of the Australian conference.
The last game between these sides ended in a 22-all draw (in Perth) but the Australian team have only ever beaten the Blues once, back in 2008.
Prediction: Four tries against the tournament leaders last time out suggests the Blues are finally starting to get it together. The bookies reckon the hosts should win by 14, which sounds about right. Blues by fifteen.
The teams:
Blues: 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Lachie Munro, 13 Francis Saili, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Rene Ranger, 10 Michael Hobbs, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Luke Braid, 7 Daniel Braid, 6 Steven Luatua, 5 Andrew Van der Heijden, 4 Liaki Moli, 3 Tevita Mailau, 2 Keven Mealamu, 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements:16 Tom McCartney, 17 Angus Ta'avao, 18 Chris Lowrey, 19 Peter Saili, 20 Alby Mathewson, 21 Orene Ai'i, 22 Hadleigh Parkes.
Western Force: 15 Alfie Mafi, 14 Nick Cummins, 13 Will Tupou, 12 Winston Stanley, 11 Napolioni Nalaga, 10 Ben Seymour, 9 Brett Sheehan, 8 Lachlan McCaffery, 7 Angus Cottrell, 6 Richard Brown, 5 Nathan Sharpe (c), 4 Toby Lynn, 3 Salesi Manu, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Pek Cowan.
Replacements:16 Ben Whittaker, 17 Ruan Smith, 18 Ollie Atkins, 19 Anare Koliavu, 20 Josh Holmes, 21 Kyle Godwin, 22 Patrick Dellit.

Waratahs v Brumbies
ANZ Stadium, Sydney
In tale of contrasting fortunes, the Waratahs will have nothing to lose when they host the Brumbies - who have everything to lose - in Sydney on Saturday.
With the play-offs no longer a focus for the Sydneysiders, Michael Foley's troops will be out to ruin the hopes of the current Aussie conference leaders and influence the make-up of the top six.
The Brumbies - chasing their first finals appearance since their tournament-winning season of 2004 - need to beat the Waratahs, as well as the Blues in their final game for a guaranteed spot in the knockouts.
Only five points seperate the Brumbies from the Reds, but are a whopping 20 points clear of the 11th-placed Waratahs. Be that as it may, whilst the in-form Brumbies head into this must-win encounter with their tails up, history favours the home side.
The Brumbies have never won at ANZ Stadium and triumphed just once in Sydney (10 years ago in the 2002 semi-final). But this rejuvenated Brumbies team will have high hopes of overcoming a Waratahs outfit that's lost their last six matches, and have tasted success just four times this season - their worst ever.
The men from the Aussie capital have shown they are more than capable of breaking records and ending droughts. Despite improving from finishing third-last in 2011 to topping their conference in 2012, they also became the first Brumbies team to win in Wellington in nine years and notched up their most successful two-game tour of South Africa.
Indeed, former Bok coach Jake White has taken this team from zero to hero but knows all their hard work can come crashing down if they don't finish off what they started.
"They(the Waratahs) have got 1069 Super Rugby caps and probably 400 Test caps, 11 Wallabies and they are a formidable opponent," he said.
"They will pose a massive challenge for us.
"We've got to focus on executing well, doing the things we've done well all year both defensively and in attack and things should take care of themselves."
Prediction: If there's an upset on the cards this weekend, then it will come in Sydney. Waratahs by four!
The teams:
Waratahs: 15 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14 Lachie Turner, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Grayson Hart, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Dean Mumm, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson.
Replacements: 16 Josh Mann-Rae, 17 Paddy Ryan, 18 Sitaleki Timani, 19 Lopeti Timani, 20 Brendan McKibbin, 21 Tom Carter, 22 Tom Kingston.
Brumbies: 15 Robbie Coleman, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Jesse Mogg, 10 Zack Holmes, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Anthony Hegaty, 17 Ruaidhri Murphy, 18 Leon Power, 19 Ita Vaea, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Tevita Kuridrani, 22 Cam Crawford.
Cheetahs v Stormers
Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein
Neutral fans will be overjoyed that the South African conference leaders are heading to the City of Roses this weekend, not because of the potential result, but rather because it means we could be in for a rare treat - an exciting Stormers game.
Although they lie second in the overall standings, the Stormers have seldom been anything but boring this year. Lucky for us, the Cheetahs are almost always guaranteed to put on a good show.
The Free Staters have won just two of the last eight clashes between these sides despite having scored just one try less in those games than the men from the Cape. It's a telling statistic and an illustration of the Stormers' ability to squeeze out positive results without necessarily making the scorers work overtime.
By the time the Stormers take to the field in Bloemfontein, they will know exactly where they stand in terms of the South African conference and the race for a home semi-final. If the Bulls fail to pick up any points in Durban, the Stormers will need just one point from their final two fixtures (they face the Rebels at home next week).
The Cheetahs are out of the running for the play-offs but they won't need any outside motivation as they can make 2012 their best season yet against a team they seem to enjoy playing against.
Indeed, the Cheetahs hold the distinction of being the only team in the last three Super Rugby seasons to have scored four tries in one match against the Stormers. That happened last year in Bloem and even though the home team still lost, it's no mean feat against the best defensive side in the competition.
"We will always have respect for their defence, but last year we were the only team in the competition to get four tries against them, so we will again try and penetrate their line and score some tries," said Cheetahs coach Naka Drotsk�.
"They are a very good side, but we can beat any team in Bloemfontein if we play well. We disappointed ourselves against the Bulls and would like to compensate for that defeat."
Let's hope the hosts score a few and force the Stormers to unleash their world-class back-line. But judging by his comments this week, Stormers coach Allister Coetzee is set to tell his team to stick to their conservative, uber-structured approach.
"They are a very good side and the opposition must be accurate otherwise they'll disturb your cohesion. We have to make sure that we give them nothing, and if we can do that, they won't be in the game," said Coetzee.
Prediction: You can criticise their style, but you can't argue with the Stormers' results. We'll back them to get the job done again. Stormers by eight
The teams:
Cheetahs: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Philip Snyman, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Barry Geel, 11 Cameron Jacobs, 10 Riaan Smit, 9 Piet van Zyl, 8 Justin Downey, 7 Pieter Labuschagne, 6 Heinrich Br�ssow, 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 Andries Ferreira/George Earle, 3 Marcel van der Merwe, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Trevor Nyakane.
Replacements:16 Hercu Liebenberg, 17 WP Nel, 18 George Earle/Waltie Vermeulen, 19 Ashley Johnson, 20 Tewis de Bruyn, 21 Sias Ebersohn, 22 Nico Scheepers.
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (c), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Jebb Sinclair, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 De Kock Steenkamp, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Deon Fourie, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Tiaan Liebenberg, 17 Deon Carstens, 18 Quinn Roux, 19 Don Armand, 20 Louis Schreuder, 21 Burton Francis, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.

Lions v Rebels
Coca-Cola Park Stadium, Johannesburg
Both these teams are amongst the also-rans in this year's tournament but don't expect them to deviate from their attacking game-plans for this match.
The Lions, who are rooted to the bottom of the table with 20 points from 14 matches, have gone through turbulent times on and off the field this season and will be determined to claim a win in their final home match of the campaign.
Despite the suspension of their coach John Mitchell, Johannesburg's pride competed well for large parts of last week's clash with the Stormers before going down 27-17 in Cape Town.
Their forwards made life difficult for their counterparts and players like captain Josh Strauss, Franco van der Merwe and Derick Minnie will be keen to continue where they left off in that clash when they go up against the Rebels this weekend.
Despite occupying 12th position on in the standings the Rebels will be happy that they have improved on the overall performance which they gave in last season's inaugural campaign in the competition.
With four wins and a haul of 29 points from 14 matches they have beaten last year's record of three victories and 24 points in the standings at the end of the round-robin phase of the tournament.
However, two of their most potent attacking weapons - Kurtley Beale and James O'Connor - were injured in last weekend's clash against Reds in Melbourne and have not been included in the squad for their two-match tour to South Africa.
This encounter has historical significance as it will be the first times that these two teams meet since the Rebels joined the competition last year.
History will also be made with the whistle on Saturday as Francisco Pastrana of Argentina will become the first referee from outside the three SANZAR countries (South Africa, New Zealand and Australia) to officiate in a Super Rugby match.
Prediction: With both teams having little to play for, don't be surprised if this turns into a high-scoring match. Home ground advantage and the fact that the Rebels are without the services of their two best players mean the Lions should win this one. Lions by five!
The teams:
Lions: 15 James Kamana, 14 Lionel Mapoe, 13 Waylon Murray, 12 Butch James, 11 Anthonie Volminck, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Michael Bondesio, 8 Joshua Strauss (c), 7 Grant Hattingh, 6 Derick Minnie, 5 Franco van der Merwe, 4 Hendrik Roodt, 3 Jacobie Adriaanse, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 JC Janse van Rensburg.
Replacements: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Ruan Dreyer, 18 Etienne Oosthuizen, 19 Jaco Kriel, 20 Ross Cronje, 21 JR Esterhuizen, 22 Ruan Combrinck.
Rebels: 15 Julian Huxley, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Stirling Mortlock (c), 11 Cooper Vuna, 10 James Hilgendorf, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Hugh Perrett, 6 Tim Davidson, 5 Al Campbell, 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Jono Owen, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Nic Henderson.
Replacements: 16 Adam Freier, 17 Paul Alo-Emile, 18 Hugh Pyle, 19 Luke Jones, 20 Richard Kingi, 21 Lachlan Mitchell, 22 Lloyd Johannson.
Referee: Francisco Pastrana (Argentina)

Rolly Brown is a lifelong student of the guitar. He has been a National Fingerpicking Champion (1980), a Philadelphia Music Award nominee, a solo performer, sideman, and teacher. Folk, blues, ragtime, bluegrass, country, & jazz have each, over the past 46 years, been his passions. Acoustic Guitar Magazine calls Rollys guitar sound an exceptionally melodic, articulate playing style that takes full advantage of the acoustic guitars beautiful tone. Wise sage Bennett Hammond says, He's the real deal, the gen-you-wine article, the guitar picker's guitar picker. Blues master Andy Cohen (who IS prone to hyperbole) told Rolly, "Dammit, you are the best that ever was. You may quote me." Check Rolly's instructional and performance videos at www.youtube.com.
Susie Burke has been performing since the 1980's in numerous settings, solo, band and duo. No matter the setting, Susie is known for the soulful way she delivers a song. Of her singing, Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe said "her phrasing is unerringly devoted to the lyric." The diversity of those lyrics is also notable. With influences from traditional to new folk, swing to blues and beyond, Susie performs songs from a wide variety of sources, including her own compositions.
She has taught at a number of music camps for the last decade, teaching guitar and song workshops. Susie and husband David Surette, with whom she has performed for 25 years, maintain a teaching studio near their home in southern Maine. There she hosts a class called, "Singing for the Joy of It", teaching songs by ear on the fly for the sheer love of singing together.
Susie has released 5 acclaimed CDs, and sung back up harmonies on many, and has performed in many areas of the US, as well as Quebec.
Something of a late-bloomer, singer/songwriter Kate Campbell didn't begin her professional career until the age of 30. But in short order she managed to include the likes of Guy Clark, Emmylou Harris, as Buddy Miller as both admirers and collaborators in her distinctly literate musical vision. Since making her recording debut in 1995 with Songs From The Levee, Campbell has since put together a body of work marked by consistency, artistry and honest self-examination and self-revelation. Kate's Moonpie Dreams (1997) and Visions of Plenty (1998) each garnered "Folk Album of the Year" nominations from the Nashville Music Awards. Kate is the daughter of a Baptist preacher from Sledge, Mississippi. Her formative years were spent in the very core of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and the indelible experiences of those years have shaped her heart, character, and convictions ever since. As a child of the South, her musical tastes were forged in the dampened, smoky fires of soul, R&B, Southern rock and folk music. Kate released her first live recording, TWO NIGHTS IN TEXAS in the Fall of 2011. A new recording of original music, 1000 POUND MACHINE is set for release in March 2012.
John Doerschuk has been in the sound business for over 25 years. He was attracted to waves and electrons while playing in bands in the seventies, and somehow continues to make a living as an "audio guy." He lives with his artist wife Bessie and daughter Sophie in Cambridge, Massachusetts. John plays piano and guitar and is trying to tame a Dobro.
"Lorraine Hammond is the most versatile dulcimer player I know", observes North Carolina dulcimer wizard Don Pedi. Lorraine's numerous credits as a traditional singer, songwriter, teacher and instrumentalist include her groundbreaking Shanachie release with fiddler Gerry Milnes, "Hell Up Coal Holler", a Homespun dulcimer instruction series, and two elegant Appalachian dulcimer books with Yellow Moon Press. Lorraine also plays, performs on and teaches five string banjo, mandolin and harp. Lorraine's new CD, "The Opal Ring", on the Snowy Egret label, combines the traditional New England ballads of her childhood with her own songs drawn from that childhood in the Connecticut Berkshires. Reviewer Mark Flanagan observes: " Lorraine Lee Hammond opens her latest CD with some of the sweetest notes ever produced on the mountain dulcimer".
Bennett is the sort of finger-picking guitar player you can listen to all day- The Shetland Times. He started playing in 1957 and began teaching in 1960, debuted as a virtuoso soloist in 1980 - on the In-Bound platform, Harvard Square Station - and has played above ground, at home and abroad ever since. Early influences include an EP side of folk and cowboy songs with guitar accompaniment his sister Lucy made in 1951, recordings of Etta Baker, Mike Seeger and Duane Eddy, and of course the Three B's - Bach, Bluegrass, and Bo Diddly.
Bennett's classes focus on developing students' individual skill and style, helping you to play like yourself, only more so.
Deemed a "banjo virtuoso" by the Washington Post, Adam Hurt has fused several traditional old-time idioms to create his own elegantly innovative claw hammer banjo style, having been introduced to the instrument at age eleven in his native Minnesota. A respected performer and teacher of traditional music, Adam has played at the Kennedy Center and conducted banjo workshops at many venues around the country and abroad. Since moving to North Carolina in 2002, Adam has placed in or won most of the major old-time banjo competitions, and he has claimed several state banjo and fiddle championships. Adam's music can be heard on multiple recordings.
Sparky & Rhonda Rucker's passion for the American Civil War inspired their special historical program entitled The Blue & Gray in Black & White. This presentation tells stories from the war in music and narrative and focuses on the war's impact on the different regions of our country. The stories, some sad and some humorous, reflect personal insights from the various personalities who participated in the war. Sparky & Rhonda can often include stories about the events of the local community in which they are performing. Since more songs came out of the Civil War than any other war in history, they have a large repertoire of music to draw upon.
James "Sparky" Rucker has over forty years of international touring, recording, and teaching experience. He is known as a storyteller, historian, and folk musician. He has taught and led workshops at Augusta, Common Ground, Ashokan, Pinewoods, SAMW, Hindman Family Folk Week, Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, Clarion Folk College, and Wisconsin's String-A-Long Weekend. His performance credits include NPR's On Point, Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage, and Morning Edition. In his study of the blues, Sparky learned at the feet of such masters as John Jackson, Howard Armstrong, and Babe Stovall. Reverend Pearly Brown, who taught Duane Allman how to play bottleneck-style guitar, showed him some moves. Sparky also picked up pointers from Buddy Moss, who taught Blind Boy Fuller and Johnny Shines, who traveled with blues legend Robert Johnson. Sparky has researched the music of early America, including the vast number of songs that the American Civil War produced. He performs with his wife, Rhonda, and their album, The Blue & Gray in Black and White, won critical acclaim from historians and Civil War buffs alike. Their music is also included on the Grammy-nominated anthology, Singing Through the Hard Times.
Rhonda Rucker practiced medicine before becoming a full-time musician, author, and storyteller. She performs with her husband, James "Sparky" Rucker, adding vocals, piano, banjo, blues harmonica, and rhythmic bones to their music. When she first began learning harmonica, Rhonda studied the techniques of Sonny Terry, the renowned blues harp player. She then branched out to other styles. Rhonda has recorded nine albums with her husband, including Treasures and Tears, which was nominated for a W.C. Handy Award. Their music is also on the Grammy-nominated CD, Singing Through the Hard Times. Their album, The Blue & Gray in Black & White, won critical acclaim from historians and Civil War buffs alike. Rhonda has been an author since 1998, publishing articles in newspapers, magazines, and books. Her debut historical novel, Swing Low, Sweet Harriet, was published by Motes Books in 2013. The story is based on Harriet Tubman's work as a spy and scout during the Civil War when she helped lead African American soldiers on the Combahee River raid in South Carolina. Rhonda has taught classes at Augusta, Common Ground, SAMW, Hindman Family Folk Week, Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, and Clarion Folk College.
Widely acclaimed as one of New England's premiere instrumentalists, David Surette is highly regarded for his work on the guitar (both flatpick and fingerstyle), mandolin, and bouzouki, in a wide variety of settings. As a soloist, he is nationally-known as a top player of Celtic fingerstyle guitar, yet his diverse repertoire also includes original compositions, blues and ragtime, traditional American roots music, and folk music from a variety of traditions, all played with finesse, taste, and virtuosity. He has performed as a duo with his wife, singer Susie Burke, for 20 years, recording several albums and building a reputation as one of New England's top folk duos. Surette was a founding member of the Airdance band with fiddler Rodney Miller, with whom he recorded four albums and toured nationally.

He has acted and sung in theaters and opera houses, and for radio and television around the world. He has performed at the metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center. He toured Europe as a cast member and vocal coach of "The Temptation of St. Anthony" directed by Robert Wilson with music and book by Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon.

Jack Williams began his musical journey at 4, playing his mother's Arthur Godfrey ukulele, and learning to play the piano, trumpet, and guitar, absorbing big band, pop, jazz, show tunes, and classical music he first heard on his parents' 78 rpm records. His current music is strongly influenced by an early career in jazz, classical, rock and roll, blues, R&B and folk. A musician for 66 years and a professional touring artist for 55 years, Jack is a singer/ songwriter/ guitarist/ storyteller whose songs display a strong sense of place, many of them grounded in - or inspired by - his South Carolina roots. His songs have been recorded by artists ranging from Cindy Mangsen and Chuck Pyle to Tom Jones and David Clayton-Thomas. His virtuosic guitar-playing and finger-style accompaniment to songs follow no stylistic models but spring directly from his own personality and musical history.
Finding his place within the U.S. Folk Community some 20 years ago, he has performed and taught at festivals such as Newport, Kerrville, Philadelphia, SummerFest and Boston, as well as in music halls, city arts centers, coffeehouses and hundreds of house concerts across his circuit of 47 states and 8 countries. He currently has 10 albums and a DVD on Wind River Records. His workshops are creative and inspiring, and his performances are joyously reckless - music from a poet's heart and a virtuoso's hands

This project involves four stages, with publications at each stage.
Stage 1: Policy Overview was a high-level analysis to assess privacy values, changes in technology, international trends, and their implications for New Zealand law. It was completed in 2008 with the publication of a study paper.
Stage 2: Public Registers was a consideration of the law relating to Public Registers and whether it requires systematic alteration as a result of privacy considerations and emerging technology. The Commission recommended a review of all public registers against a template set out in the report, with the resulting legislative changes to be introduced by way of a single omnibus Bill. The report was published in 2008, but the recommendations will not be considered by Government until the Commission completes its review of the Privacy Act 1993.
Stage 3: Invasions of Privacy considers the adequacy of New Zealand's civil and criminal law to deal with invasions of privacy. The Commission's final report (R113) was tabled and released in late February 2010. The Commission recommended a new Surveillance Devices Act to fill gaps in the regulation of the most objectionable forms of surveillance. On the question of the common law privacy tort (publication of private facts), the Commission recommends that this area be left to the courts to develop over time, rather than introducing a statutory cause of action.
Stage 4: Review of the Privacy Act 1993 is a general review of the statute with a view to updating it.
The final Report for Stage 4 was released 2 August 2011. To view the Report, click here.

The Law Commission today completed its landmark review of privacy law with the publication of its final report, Review of the Privacy Act 1993: Review of the Law of Privacy Stage 4 (NZLC R123, 2011).
The report, which calls for new powers for the Privacy Commissioner, is the fourth in the Commission's four-stage review of New Zealand's privacy laws.
The report focuses on the Privacy Act 1993. Overall, the Commission believes the main principles of the Act remain sound. Rather than setting strict rules, the Act is based on privacy principles that can be applied flexibly to suit an agency's particular circumstances. The Commission supports this principles-based approach, which also allows the Act to remain relevant as technology changes.
The Commission thinks the Act could be improved in a number of areas. Among the key recommendations of the report are that:
- the Privacy Commissioner's powers should be augmented by a new power to issue compliance notices, and, where there is a good reason for it, to require an audit of an agency's information-handling practices;
- the complaints process under the Act should be streamlined in a number of respects, including giving the Privacy Commissioner the power to make binding decisions on complaints about people's right to access their own personal information;
- agencies should be required to notify people when personal information held by an agency is lost or otherwise compromised (for example, through computer hacking), if the breach is sufficiently serious;
- there should be a new framework in the Act to allow the sharing of personal information between government agencies where it is in the public interest to do so, but with appropriate safeguards; and
- some exceptions to the privacy principles should be modified; for example, to clarify that people can pass on information to an appropriate person where someone's health is seriously at risk, or report suspected offending to the police.
NZLC R113 Invasion of Privacy: Penalties and Remedies: Review of the Law of Privacy: Stage 3
Obtain a Hard CopyPublished 26 Feb 2010
The Law Commission's report, Invasion of Privacy: Penalties and Remedies: Review of the Law of Privacy: Stage 3 (NZLC R113, 2010), has been tabled in Parliament. The report recommends the enactment of a new Surveillance Devices Act which would provide for criminal offences and a right of civil action in relation to the use of visual surveillance, interception and tracking devices. The report also recommends some changes to the Harassment Act 1997 so that it applies more clearly to instances in which surveillance is used for the purpose of harassment; some new offences targeting voyeurism; and some changes to the law governing surveillance by private investigators. The report recommends that the tort of invasion of privacy should be left to develop at common law.
NZLC R101 Public Registers: Review of the Law of Privacy Stage 2
Obtain a Hard CopyPublished 19 Feb 2008
The Law Commission's report on Public Registers was published on 19 February 2008. The report identifies well over one hundred public registers in New Zealand, including rates databases and dog registers, land registers transport registers, the electoral rolls, births, deaths and marriages registers. Regulating the balance between open access to the registers and protection of personal information varies greatly. The Commission recommends that a dedicated team should review all public registers against a template set out in the report. Recommendations for resulting legislative changes should then be introduced by way of a single Omnibus Bill. However, the Law Commission's recommendation for a public register review will not be considered by the Government until the Commission's reference on the Privacy Act 1993 is completed.
Ministerial Briefing - Information Sharing: Review of Privacy
Obtain a Hard CopySold Out.Published 29 Mar 2011
The Commission is conducting a review of the Privacy Act 1993. In the course of this review it has studied the subject of information sharing by government agencies. It has been asked by the Minister to present its findings on this subject ahead of the report on the Privacy Act.
The Commission favours facilitation of information sharing between agencies, but only if there are proper checks and balances, and if risks to individual privacy are minimised. It proposes a regime whereby sharing programmes would go through a process of approval by Order in Council, after consultation with appropriate bodies, including the Privacy Commissioner. Approved programmes would be listed in a schedule to the Privacy Act. The Act would lay down the criteria for approving the programmes, and contain requirements of transparency and accountability.
NZLC MP19 A Conceptual Approach to PrivacyPublished 1 Nov 2007
A Conceptual Approach to Privacy attempts to develop a possible approach to conceptualising privacy with a view to assisting stage 1 of the Law Commission's review of privacy project. The aim of the paper is to establish a conceptual framework for starting to think theoretically about privacy and for practically assessing the present legal regime relating to privacy. As a framework for legal analysis, it will represent the starting point to the Law Commission's approach in stage 1 of its privacy review and a basis for putting some assumptions on the table so that constructive discussion can emerge as the Law Commission's review proceeds through all of its four stages.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A measure to put Maryland on the path to developing a medical marijuana program in the next few years has advanced in the state Senate.
The Senate gave the measure preliminary approval Friday. That puts the Senate on track to vote on the bill Monday, the last day of the legislative session.
The bill would create a state commission to oversee medical marijuana programs at academic medical research centers that decide to participate.
The House of Delegates already has approved the bill.
Maryland's health secretary has expressed support for the measure. Last year, Joshua Sharfstein opposed it due to concerns the federal government could prosecute state employees. This year, the bill was changed to enable the governor suspend the program if it is determined employees could be prosecuted for participating.

Comments about Nature's Herbs for Pets Joint Relief:
I have a 17 year old cat who has arthritis in his back. He takes the small brown pill with ease ( it rolls down his throat) and the result of taking this pill is amazing.He can jump places he normally has not been able to jump and he goes under furniture he couldn't go under before(not too happy about that). But he feels better having little or no pain.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fantastic product for Dogs!!!!!
By jonjon
from North Las Vegas, Nevada
This product is fantastic for dogs that have hip dysplasia or arthritis.I used it on my German Shepherd who had hip dysplasia..he did great. He was able to walk for a greater length of time.I now use it on my other Shepherd who has degenerative mylopothy.It is not a cure for this disease by any means, but I believed it makes it easier for him to be mobile.No side effects!!!!Very expensive though.They need to lower the price.

workes perfectly!
By mikamu
from chicago, IL
My dog throws up Glucosamine & Chondroitin and since I give her the calming herbs from Nature's Herbs, which works pretty well for her btw, I was hopeful this would also work. I dissolved the pill overnight in her bowl, mixed it with her breakfast and I thought it would take about a month to see a difference but within a week she was running up & down the halls like a puppy! Love this line of products!!! I even turned to Chinese herbs for my arthritis and I am impressed generally speaking.
Great product!
By Popylove
from Seoul, Korea
My pomeranian had surgery for hip joint when she was about 2 years old, but it didn't seem to help and she had difficulty running, standing or sometimes even walking. She liked hopping around with 2 legs, but couldn't do it anymore. I first tried this product several years ago(cannot remember when..), and my baby was hopping around again(of course, I and my sis yell at her to stop it)!! It is small round pill and doesn't smell good, but my baby seems to like it. She's 12 years old now, and I tried tons of other stuff, but this seems to work the best so far.

Amazing product!
By Seraphina
from Corona, CA
I cannot say enough about the effectiveness of Nature's Herbs for Pets. My 15 year old Boston Terrier was struggling so badly with arthritis that I thought we had reached the end. I ordered the Joint Formula as a last effort. I am completely amazed at the results. Although she still has some curvature in her spine, my little dog is up, moving, playing, even running. She has gained weight and has a new lease on life ~ and she is completely off of the pain killers prescribed by her vet. If your pet is suffering from joint pain or arthritis TRY THIS PRODUCT! It is truly amazing.
Joints or not
By cmmbell
from Naranja, fl
Seemed to have helped the dog, but apparently there is a little more behind his problem.
By NIA
from NEW YORK
While working with the SPCA, I rescued my little Bichon. He had been kept in a cage all year round and only was taken out for mating purposes. He had a tough little life. Because he never got out to walk around and build his bones, his right hip and little leg suffers. He had a bad bout about a month ago and I immediately began him on the joint support. FANTASTIC! I can't take awAy all the pain he has gone through, but I will make certain the rest of his days are full of good care and lots of love.
Joint Relief Brought my Puppy Back
By Allie
from New iberia, Louisiana
I have been using this product on my 12 year old Blue Healer Taz. She has always enjoyed jumping way up in the air to catch her ball (a large deflated soft ball)after all these years of coming down hard on her back legs, old age has creeped up on her, she was limping and not walking on her back leg. The vet said it was like a foodball players injury and is not fixable. Since Aug 2010 I have been giving her two in the am and 2 in the pm. The bad part is she feels so good that she grabs her ball and wants us to kick it! I can take her for short walks and she does not limp. The Natures Herb joint releif is great! They should make this for people. No side effects at all! I give it to her with canned dog food, she will spit it out if she tastes it. We love this stuff!
This really worked
By Judy
from Houston, TX
My 10 year old Maltese started limping and the vet did x-rays and said she probably was getting arthritis. She was holding her back leg up almost all the time. She had gone through a liver problem a few months earlier so regular medication really wasn't an option to risk another liver episode. I tried this and after about a week or so she is doing great. She is running on her leg again. Good Stuff. Will reorder.

Rachmaninov: Music for two pianos
CDH55209 Helios (Hyperion's budget label)
Movement 1: Barcarolle
Movement 2: La nuit L'amour
Movement 3: Les larmes
Movement 4: Pâques
Aleko was premiered at the end of April 1893, and during the next few months Rachmaninov wrote his Fantaisie, subtitled 'Tableaux' – the Suite No 1 for two pianos, Op 5. Nikolai Zverev died in Moscow on 30 September 1893, and at his funeral Rachmaninov mentioned the Fantaisie to Tchaikovsky. A few days later he showed him the score and received permission to inscribe the work to Tchaikovsky after playing it through privately to him with his fellow-pupil Pavel Pabst; Tchaikovsky agreed to attend the premiere the following month to be given by Rachmaninov and Pabst, but died in St Petersburg on 25 October – the premiere was thus poignantly overshadowed. By 15 December Rachmaninov had written his second Trio élégiaque (Op 9) in Tchaikovsky's memory; his concurrent Morceaux de salon for solo piano (Op 10) were inscribed to Pabst.
The movements of Rachmaninov's Fantaisie (now widely known simply as Suite No 1) each carried epigraphs, and form a succession of moods, from the opening dreamy 'Barcarolle' to love, tears and – in the finale – joy. In a letter to his cousin Natalia Skalon during the composition of the work, Rachmaninov wrote: 'I am occupied with a fantasy for two pianos, which consists of a series of musical pictures.' Curiously, he also said that the third movement was inspired by funeral bells: the finale is a clattering evocation of a Russian Easter, more akin to Stravinsky's Petrushka than to Rimsky-Korsakov's overture, although on hearing the piece Rimsky-Korsakov suggested to Rachmaninov that the traditional chant 'Christ is risen' (which is incorporated in the music) should have first been stated alone. Rachmaninov stuck to his guns, claiming that in reality the chant and the sound of bells were always heard together.

Since then, he has been working with me on an unnamed, unnanounced bullfighting project before he was taken away from it by Barbara Broccoli to direct her big budget documentary celebrating 50 years of James Bond, Everything Or Nothing – The Untold Story of 007, which premieres tonight in Leicester Square.
Since I am writer and co-producer, through Mephisto Productions, on the bullfight doc, I was very happy to see this officially confirmed in the trade journal, Screen International by Stevan, for the first time naming our main producer, Passion Pictures, under the Oscar-winning producer John Battsek (Best Documentary – One Day In September).
The documentary centres on a Spanish fighting bull from the greatest ranch of toros bravos today, that of Núñez del Cuvillo, and a Spanish torero from the greatest family of in the bullfighting world, Cayetano Rivera Ordóñez.
(Cayetano is a fourth generation matador de toros. His great-grandfather, El Niño de la Palma, was the model for the matador in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, his grandfather, Antonio Ordóñez, was the star of Hemingway's The Dangerous Summer (Orson Welles' ashes are also interred at his house), and his father, Paquirri, was famously killed by a bull in 1984.)
With much of the film in the can already, filmed on the visually astonishing Red Epic cameras, I am looking forward to starting work on it again in the coming months.
Both Cayetano and the bulls of Núñez del Cuvillo get a mention in my feature about another matador and mentor of mine, Juan José Padilla, in last month's issue of GQ magazine now available online here. The whole story of all of these characters, and myself, is available in my GQ recommended, William Hill Sports Book Of The Year shortlisted, Into The Arena: The World Of The Spanish Bullfight. It is available from all the usual outlets, including iTunes via GQ itself at a discount here.
P.S. Stevan's film has been reviewed by GQ here.

routes du bonheur Suggestions for itineraries to discover the world
The Relais & Châteaux philosophy pays privileged attention to cuisine: the pursuit of the right flavour is in complete harmony with the spirit of the place and local products. Some of our Chefs take gourmet demands to a new level and are recognised around the world for their expertise, their daring as the maestros of the culinary art. With the Grands Chefs Trophy, the champagne house Taittinger, which is as much a part of the history of fine dining as we are, accompanies us in this tribute to the great creators of flavour.
"Gourmet cuisine seen as one of the fine arts"
Skiing on the world-renowned slopes of Crans-Montana is not the only pleasure in store for you at this delightful chalet. The suites and junior suites have open fireplaces, jacuzzis and views of the snow-covered mountain peaks, and the chalet has a Spa. The beautiful interiors feature wood and stone walls. Everything here is truly charming, especially the painting of Felix, Pas de l'Ours's former resident donkey. In a cosy atmosphere, the Bistrot des Ours gives pride of place to local flavours, whilst in the gourmet restaurant the chef invites you to savour a selection of vegetables, milk-fed lamb, bass, sea bream, mullet, venison and other culinary treats.
Palais Coburg, in the heart of Vienna, offers a superb ultra-comfortable ambiance for you to enjoy. Each suite is decorated in honour of one of the high-society families that have marked the history of this somptuous hotel which, since the 19th century, has provided one of the most prestigious venues for receptions in the capital. The view from the spa over the roofs of Vienna adds the finishing touch to your superb feelings of relaxation. The gourmet cuisine of Silvio Nickol and the Basteigarten restaurant – "an oasis of green" – make Palais Coburg the top spot for culinary delicacies, and the cellars boast 60,000 bottles – one of the largest stocks of Mouton Rothschild, Château Yquem and Pétrus in the world. The magnificent ballrooms with all their festive splendour, the elegant lounges, and white vaulting of the former casemates, provide the perfect setting for private functions.
It was in front of the stunning scenery of Big Sur that Henry Miller said he learnt to pray. The little village of artists, Carmel-by-the-Sea, is the ideal base to marvel at these immense cliffs that seem to plunge down into the ocean. Halfway between San Francisco and the coast of Santa Barbara, inhabited by seals, whales and other marine mammals, Carmel – where Clint Eastwood was once mayor – will charm you with its many art galleries and pebble beaches. This romantic hotel was built in 1929 and is ideally located in the heart of the village, and a pleasant short walk away from the famous Carmel Beach. Interior designer Kathleen Fink has decorated the hotel with the most beautiful antiques and fabrics from Europe. Delicious cuisine, a wine cellar with over 4,500 bottles and the superb massages will give this address a special place in your heart.
On the sand dunes, facing the charming port of La Gravette, Anne de Bretagne is a contemporary villa with striking Jade Coast architecture, perfectly placed to enjoy the best of Brittany. There are breath-taking views over the ocean from the suites and the Italian-style terraces. In the excellent restaurant, Philippe Vételé's cuisine is inventive with a touch of the sea, in perfect harmony with the wines selected by Michèle Vételé, a highly-recognised sommelier. In season, you can try wild clams with shredded leek, with white Muscat vinaigrette sorbet. Fish and shellfish create a perfect match: "slow-cooked" line-caught sea bass is served with a sardine concassé, a string of winkles and a sea lettuce emulsion.
A wonderful mountain landscape provides the backdrop to this beautiful inn, which has retained the typical style of the Engadine over its 450 years. The new buildings blend in harmoniously, with their modern lines clad in natural wood inspired by the surrounding pine and larch forests. The spring-water organic pool is located on a small plateau directly in front of the hotel. This peaceful, silent and hospitable spot is the work of a family whose members have, for several generations, coupled their complementary talents perfectly to each other. Whether hotelier, cook, or carpenter, what is most important to them is to focus all their efforts on the guests to offer elegant comfort, a warm welcome and fine cuisine based on fresh seasonal ingredients. The result constitutes a graceful, well balanced framework and thus creates a wonderful harmony.

We believe that your content should be the focus of your experience. And everything else should disappear. Even the device itself.
iPad Air is astonishingly thin and light. Through a series of refinements, we were able to drop nearly a quarter of the volume of the previous-generation iPad. Yet from the moment you pick it up, you'll notice how durable it feels. Elegant unibody construction strengthens and simplifies the enclosure. We took everything we've learned about making unibody devices and refined the process to be even more material-efficient and exact. The result is an iPad Air that feels amazing to hold and is easy to take with you wherever you go.
More than ever, all eyes are on the stunning Retina display. iPad Air has thinner bezels on the sides of the display and a narrower width overall. But the size of the display stayed the same. It's a subtle change, but it makes a dramatic difference. You see it the moment the screen comes to life. The beautiful display is more prominent than ever. And your attention is on what matters: your content.
The software also works intelligently with the new display. Using a touch-rejection algorithm, iPad Air recognises if your thumb is simply resting on the display while you're holding it or if you're intentionally interacting with the Multi‑Touch screen. It's a great example of how Apple hardware and software are designed to work together to give you the best experience possible.
The way iPad Air feels in your hand is remarkable. But just as remarkable is the way it performs. Even though iPad Air is so thin and light, we managed to pack an incredible amount of power and technology inside.
The new A7 chip flies. It's the most powerful chip we've built to date — and the most efficient. A7 brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to iPad, which means iPad Air speaks the language of the most advanced computing designs available. The A7 chip makes iPad Air up to 2x faster than the previous generation in both CPU and graphics performance. So it delivers incredible power and performance in a device that weighs less than half a kilo.
There's a reason we design our own chips. We can decide which functions we want a chip to perform and build them into the individual circuits and components. This creates more efficient power usage, which allows our devices to be so thin and light yet have great battery life. It's one of the advantages of designing both the hardware and the software. Because the only way you can build a product this thin and powerful is by investing in and caring about the primary components used to make it.
The M7 motion coprocessor is another reason why iPad Air can be so powerful yet power efficient. We designed M7 to measure the motion of iPad Air by collecting data from the gyroscope, accelerometer and compass. It offloads work from the A7 chip, gathering motion information from iPad Air so apps can adapt their functions. Because M7 was engineered for this specific task, it uses less power than A7 would require. And it frees up A7 to focus on other tasks. The result is not only a better iPad experience, but great battery life.
The 7.5-mm-thin enclosure of iPad Air is filled to the brim with advanced technologies that help give you an even better experience. iPad Air is designed to be on the go, so it has two aerials to support MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) for up to twice the 802.11n Wi‑Fi performance. And the Wi-Fi + Cellular model has more 4G LTE bands and supports more networks around the world — so iPad Air can keep you connected in more places.1 It also features a 5-megapixel iSight camera and a FaceTime HD camera with an improved sensor for better video calls.2 And dual microphones improve audio and suppress background noise for video recording and FaceTime calls. All this technology fits within a sleek frame that's light and easy to hold.
iOS 7 and iPad Air weren't just designed to work well, they were designed to work well together. So the experience of using them together is seamless. Like iPad Air, everything about iOS 7 is simple and incredibly intuitive.
And iOS 7 on iPad Air was optimised to include thoughtful choices that take advantage of the iPad experience. For example, the Control Centre panel is in an easy-to-read horizontal orientation. In the Camera app, the shutter button appears on the side of the screen rather than at the bottom — because that's where your thumb is when you're holding iPad. All these small considerations make iOS 7 not just beautiful to see, but beautiful to experience.
When you have a device as thin and light as iPad Air, you don't want to put something on it that adds bulk. So we designed the iPad Air Smart Cover and Smart Case to fit and protect iPad Air perfectly. They're crafted with as much precision and care as iPad Air itself.
The Smart Cover is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane and features a sleek new covered hinge that custom-fits the thin profile of iPad Air. It comes in six vibrant colours. And it doesn't just protect iPad Air. The Smart Cover actually wakes iPad Air when opened and puts it to sleep on close. The Smart Cover also folds into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing or making FaceTime calls. And it's easily removable, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.
The Smart Case is the most streamlined way to protect iPad Air, front and back. It comes in six rich shades of beautiful aniline-dyed leather for a splash of colour, and it feels great in your hand. And it's been redesigned with an even slimmer profile. The Smart Case wakes iPad Air when opened and puts it to sleep on close. And like the Smart Cover, it folds to create a stand, so you can position iPad Air for whatever you want to do.
At Apple, we're always thinking about the impact our products have on the world. And we know that impact continues after the end of a product's useful life. That's why nearly every Apple product is made from highly recyclable materials like aluminium, and why we go to great lengths to exclude harmful toxins from our components.
iPad Air is a perfect example. The aluminium enclosure is highly recyclable. And every iPad Air is free of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In fact, Apple has one of the strictest BFR-free and PVC-free standards in the industry. And we expect the same from our suppliers. So we actually disassemble our products into individual components and materials in our Cupertino lab. Then we test those components using a variety of methods, including X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and ion chromatography. We do this to ensure that every product we release meets our environmental standards.

The Alen BreatheSmart HEPA Air Purifier reduces dust, allergies, asthma and other respiratory concerns includes Alen's HEPA-Pure Filter.
The BreatheSmart uses Alen's SmartSensor Technology to detect airborne allergens and pollutants, automatically adjusting airflow to protect you while saving energy and extending filter life. The BreatheSmart is both powerful and quiet, providing up to 1100 square feet of coverage with Alen's WhisperMax Technology, a specially designed fan and air chamber that maximizes clean air delivery while maintaining a peaceful environment.
The Alen BreatheSmart HEPA Air Purifier's easy to replace HEPA-Pure Filter combines several layers of filter technology to purify and freshen the air in your home. Polluted air first passes through Alen's washable Pre-Filter to capture large particles, extending the life of the filter. In the second layer, air moves through a unique, electrostatically charged HEPA type material that attracts and captures up to 99% of dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores and other airborne pollutants. The BreatheSmart's ozone-safe Ionizer complements the HEPA type filter by charging particles in the air, causing them to stick together and become more easily captured.
We recommend regular filter replacements to extend the life of your air purifier and maximize performance. Replace your filter every 6-12 months for severe concerns or when running the air purifier 24/7. Replace your filter every 12-18 months for light concerns or when running the air purifier only as needed. The Alen BreatheSmart's Filter Life Timer indicates when it is time to replace the filter based on the operating fan speed and duration of use. The optimal filter replacement frequency may vary based on your environment and health concerns.
The Alen BreatheSmart includes a Lifetime Limited Warranty and Allergy Relief Guarantee. We encourage you to experience the benefits of allergy relief for 60 days, risk free. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, we will refund your money and even pay to ship it back.

BEST JEANS EVER Best jeans ever. My daughter loves them. She wears them all the time March 11, 2014
The Only Jeans my Daughter wants to wear BUT... The quality for the price ratio is abysmal. To spend nearly 40.00 on a pair of jeans to have them completely wear out within 3 months is crazy. My daughter says they are the most comfortable pants she's ever worn. They fit her tall slim body perfectly and don't bag like many leggings do. The knees all got holes in them within a month or two, and by three months they were unwearable. March 10, 2014
holes and more holes My daughter likes these because she is petite and these fit her well. However they tend to get holes in the back around the pockets and the knees do turn white. Then she won't wear them. Im on her fourth pair. They are very comfortable but be warned the quality isn't great. February 11, 2014
OK Purchase These pants are very comfortable, and very stylish. The only problem is that the material is not the best quality. I got several little holes in the pants, and after time, the knees became very worn and turned white. December 15, 2013
Great jeans I have a hard time finding jeans for my 7 year old. What fits in the waist typically doesn't fit in length or thighs. These denim knit jeans are perfect. They are soft denim and do not look sloppy or like pajama jeans at all. They look exactly like regular jeans but have GREAT stretch without being skin tight. Because of the narrow fit a longer length is no problem at all, they bunch up cutely. These are her favorite jeans ever! September 23, 2013

In honor of National Family Caregiver Month in November, one country music star wants you to share your stories of caring.
Multi-platinum recording artist Clay Walker was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in 1996. With the help of his wife Jessica, medication and a diet and exercise regimen, Clay has managed to keep the disease at bay while continuing to tour, record and raise a family.
"Jess and I started this campaign along with BandAgainstMS.org and Teva [Pharmaceuticals} and the campaign is called 'Share How You Care,'" said the "Jesse James" singer. "It really goes right along with this month and the spirit of this month is National Family Caregivers Month and it gives us a chance to honor those folks and kind of share both sides of the story."
Known for high-energy performances during his concerts, Clay admits he can't do it alone when it comes to managing his condition.
"Jess is the caregiver and I am the recipient and with her love and support, I feel like I do much better," Clay Walker said.
"What works for us is getting everyday and keeping the same routine," Jessica Walker said. "We eat a healthy diet, we exercise everyday. I laugh because I lay his clothes out to work out everyday and he puts them on and thinks he just has to wear them around the house and he feels fit just doing that so I have to push him a little bit when it comes to the exercise."
To hear stories submitted by users, go to bandagainstms.org and click on the "Share How You Care" tab.
"You can communicate with others and I have found that doing that has really helped me," said Jessica. "Listening to other stories and talking with other people has helped us."
Looking forward, Clay and Jessica hope to help others through the inspirational stories as their family grows.
"When I was originally diagnosed," said Clay, "the prognosis wasn't so great and thanks to things that we're doing right now, you know, sharing our stories, I'm doing well and I travel a lot, I've got kids to raise and we actually have another one on the way,"

I don't know if anyone missed my first post.
How many stacks of magic buffet should the tanks be switching at?
Rough estimate?
Angry: US-Illidan. We are recruiting!
I don't know if anyone missed my first post.
How many stacks of magic buffet should the tanks be switching at?
Rough estimate?
We seemed to have difficulty dealing with the magic pull + ice tomb phase 3 combo in 10 man. I think the issue was making sure people were out of the blast radius, but we'd get a second ice tomb shortly there after. We'd push her past %35 very shortly after an air phase which makes me question if anyone's plan is to hold off pushing to phase 3 until after a magic pull. Does this allow for better staggering of ice tomb and magic pull cooldowns? We didn't notice a magic pull timer. Is it used at regular intervals or cooldown based? The magic pull can be LoS'd, can the subsequent AoE be LoS'd as well? This would lead me to believe that dropping a properly timed ice block in melee range could provide a larger LoS area (how ever in an earlier post notes a hunter attempting to LoS at range from the block was getting hit, which may have been due to a bad judgment of the line) and prevent anyone from having to run away from the blast.
The line of sight only works close or semi-close to the Ice Tomb. I imagine it's because of how big Sindragosa is. Not sure if it works the same way for the Frost Bombs or not since they are smaller.
From my experience being out of line of sight doesn't counter the 25 yard aoe, although we did it safe and ran away without testing the theory.
Had an attempt where one turtled behind it and died, but don't know if he was properly positioned or not.
Is there any conformation regarding whether or not if someone is left in Ice Tomb too long in P3 they will suffocate? If not I'm going to test this in 25 man tomorrow. My guild only struggles on this phase either if one of the tanks gets slowed in P3 and can't taunt in time or during a magic pull, normally occuring within a second or two after the second ice Tomb.
Are you just assuming they do or is there some fact/experience behind that? I too am curious, since some strategies suggest not breaking tombs anymore after 10-15%. Are these tombs dying, or just sitting there? (It takes a bit to get 10%->0% still, enough that someone suffocating after a bit would die.
"After the 4th Frost Bomb in P2" is your definitive time. That phase has a duration and that bomb is a set time in said duration.
Strategies suggest just ignoring them at 10-15% because at that point you should be able to safely zerg her down with remaining DPS. The tombs just sit there and eventually die.
"Upon an order we plead, with the lure of a song, a sacred song, to the moon and the stars. An illusionary light is here placed."
We are just falling apart in phase 3 here.
I've been watching videos - how many stacks EXACTLY do melee / physical DPS get during phase 3? Some videos I've seen them going up to 2-3, while others have them not attacking the boss at all...
Ok downed her 2 times in 10 man when the magic de-buff goes out the healer stops all heals, we run with 3 (druid, pally, shammy) the melee take 3 max our feral druid and ret pally play a dangerous game and go for 5 and bark skin/bubble out but I yell all the time when they do this and dont recommend it lol. We have been 2 tanking it and swapping at 4-5 sooner is possible but things happen and the most Ive taken is 10 with shield wall up. Tonight we will be running the FR tank (me) with the normal tank (war) just to see if it makes it "easy" or not.
Oh our casters i believe take 2-3 but seen our mage get stupid and take more. These de-buffs add strain to your healers and if you run with the best you will live its all about putting that trust in your dps to be aware and your healers to do the job set down for them. Play smart and shes not so bad
I was wondering if there was a way to avoid the tanks getting ice tombed in P3. I asked because we had one attempt where, after i had been tanking the boss for the first 2/3 of the fight, the other tank taunted off me, i reset my stacks, and i got picked for Ice tomb 3 times in a row. The other tank ended up with over 20 stacks of Mystic buffet and got pieced out, so i taunted to try and saved the raid, thats when the 3rd frost tomb hit and i got frozen. (if anyone was wondering, YES, you do lose aggro while you are frozen) as much fun as it was to see Sindy kill my guild leader before he could DI someone, I still would rather have killed the boss that attempt and not had to do the fight again.
Sacrifice a ewe to the RNG Gods.
The only way to prevent someone getting the beacon is for them to have aggro from Sindragosa, so you got some pretty bad RNG in there Star.
"Upon an order we plead, with the lure of a song, a sacred song, to the moon and the stars. An illusionary light is here placed."
on top of the 3 gnomish sacrifices i make to the loot gods on every trash pull? man, i better get red armor quick then...
So much RNG I find it hard to believe! In our attempts we stagger the ice blocks so that at times there are two up (which I think is unavoidable unless you've got all your dps on them), therefore you will never get 3 in a row and should be able to safely taunt once they've busted you out of that frosty jail.
The second problem is that you need high dps. The tank cant clear the mystic buffet stack (not even bubble out of it) so you need to burn down P3 before the stacks reach unhealable proportions. Make sure you save all CDs for the last part when the tank gets over 15 stacks and synch them with her frost breath.
With the new buff of Wrynn this tacts isnt as hard as it might sound.
We've spent two nights in there against Sindragosa so far, and seem to have just been horribly unlucky. After around four hours, we found we'd only pulled her about seven or eight times due to DC's, "necessary" afk's and other assorted accidents and mishaps that have seen people unable to actually sit at the keyboard for a prolonged period and play. In saying that, the choice of target for all of her abilities seems to be quite consistent. The first evening, she picked on the Restoration shaman practically every time, where last night she picked on the Balance druid constantly.
I've no idea why this is or why it would be, but it doesn't appear to be pure RNG from what I've seen so far.
Unwavering Sentinel: Tales of a Protection Warrior Running Wild.
From our experience in 10 man last night, it appears Unchained Magic can only be cast on 1 healer at a time. It was our first time on this boss, and we were running 3 healers, with a mage being our only other caster. When the mage was alive Unchained Magic always hit the mage and one of the healers. If the mage died, Unchained Magic would only be cast on one healer, not two.
hello i have noticed a big issue in our progress raids during p3 and i dont know how to solve it.
When the OT came and taunted Sindragosa off me so i can go and reset by mystic buffet debuffs,he got a Mark over his head while he had full aggro from her with the result of being in a Ice Tomb.
Is that a bug or the RNG of the fight?
