This review is from: Logitech T650 910-003057 USB RF Wireless Touchpad
Pros: Large surface, solid surface, very nice feel when it works. I've been using touchpads instead of a mouse for close to 20 years (Crique, Adesso Glidepoints) and am generally impressed with the T650 although I wish it had left and right push buttons and was wired, not wireless. See the cons for why.
Cons: Can't hold a charge. The T650 I bought in a brick and mortar store when it first came out was nice, but with three problems. One is that it is way too easy to accidentally zoom when trying to use two fingers to simply scroll on a page -- and if you turn off the two-fingered zooming, scrolling becomes very hurky-jerky in FireFox.
Frustratingly, the Logitech drivers intermittently stop working (happens every few days). The touchpad just doesn't respond. Then the icon disappears from the system tray. I've had to start the "program" again to get the touchpad to work.
Most serious, though, is that my first T650 could hold a charge for about 7 to 10 days instead of the month Logitech advertises. I got sufficiently ticked off that I posted the problem on Logitech forums and finally called tech support.
Tech support was quite apologetic about the problem and quickly sent me a new replacement T650 touchpad -- which has exactly the same problems. I've had it for three weeks and have had to recharge every seven days. I suppose I could just leave the USB charge cable in place all the time, but that seems to be a waste of electricity and I'm not sure that it wouldn't harm the battery even more. I do want to emphasize that Logitech's tech support person was quite helpful, courteous, and responsive even though he had never seen a T650 touchpad. They did not ask me to return the original touchpad.
Other Thoughts: I've got a pretty solid system with an Asus M5A97 EVO motherboard with the AI charge option in BIOS enabled. I'm at a loss why the battery can't hold a charge for more than a week with both touchpads. I realize that I work at my computer 7-8 hours a day, but Logitech doesn't qualify how many hours you limit there is each day to maintain a charge for a month. So I'll be back in touch with Logitech about these issues. Maybe a firmware update can solve them. Who knows?
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: Western Digital Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Fast drive; large capacity. Excellent warranty support.
Cons: The drive went bad after 3 month of use as the secondary data drive in a two drive system.
Other Thoughts: Configuration: SSD "C" drive with Windows 7 Pro and applications; this Western Digital "D" drive used solely for data. For about a month this drive had been making noise like it was constantly accessing the platters. I'd get random freezes and unfreezes. I troubleshot a lot of possiblitiesbefore realizing the Western Digital hard drive was the problem (it had been about a decade since a hard drive went bad on me). Once I successfully cloned it to my 2 TB back up drive and I replaced the WD drive with the clone, the computer ran smooth as silk.
I called Western Digital and got a very helpful support tech in Manila. The bottom line is that I received a new (not refurbished) drive in 2 days (free USP 2-day air shipping). I did the advanced replacement where they take a credit card number and charge you only if you do not return the faulty drive within 30 days. The new drive works fine. If only all tech support went this smoothly and all companies provided advanced replacement.
This review is from: ASUS GX-D1081 8-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Switch 10/100/1000Mbps 8 x RJ45 Up to 8K MAC Address Table 1MB Buffer Memory
Pros: Replacing a hot to the touch Netgear switch, the Asus remains cool to the touch and works just fine.
Cons: The user guide is a bit thin and fails to explain what the different color lights mean or poorly explains what the VIP outlet means.
Other Thoughts: It's bad enough that almost everything "computer" is manufactured overseas. But the failure to provide a clear, comprehensive printed set of instructions is inexcusable. It seems like manufacturers assume that everybody who buys their products is a computer genius who needs no explanations of anything.

To Michel we can always suffer some disagreement. I cannot prove 100% that my speculation is irrefutable. Of course it is my opinion so in my mind perfectly valid and logical. But I do not know everything and I am as fallible as the next guy.
There is more to be gained and learned from listening to an opposing position, than simply listening to one's own opinion without critique. Feel free to share any thoughts to the converse that you may have.

80% of the time I solo kayak on our rivers and lakes in N. California. Not completely solo as my Border Collie is my paddle partner and rides in back on my Tarpon 160. Both of us wear a PDF! Might add that in the winter/spring months when water is cold, I almost always paddle with a friend(s) as cold water can be deadly. But for warm weather, nothing beats a 2-3 day paddle trip, dog on board, quiet, peaceful, snapping photos, camping under the stars...almost a religious experience when in the mountains and star gazing.

Non-Jewish on Succot. (photo credit:By Gabriella Tzvia Weiniger)
Sephardi Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef once said that non-Jews ("goyim") were only born to serve Jews, and without them, they have "no place in the world." "Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat," he said to some laughter.This attitude is certainly extreme, although it raises questions about the character of the state and the role of the non-Jewish minority in Israel. While we sit, stuffing our effendi- like faces with honey cake, what will the 24.7% (that's 1,915,500 people) of non-Jewish Israeli citizens be doing during the High Holy Days? Will they join us in our chicken-swinging, wine-drinking, apple-dipping festivities? Or is it just another day where the buses don't work, the shops are shut and you're all out of luck.Shut for business LAURIS MARCLIER moved here three years ago from Colombia to live with her boyfriend, yet has still not got used to the Jewish calendar. She commented: "I never know when these days are coming up. They should drop leaflets from planes, or something, like they do before a bomb." Another interviewee commented on what he called "The Great Famine of Rosh Hashana 2011." He recalled having only two bananas to eat at the end of the extra long four- day holiday (Shabbat immediately followed the new year in 2011). "The very next day, I rushed to the grocery store and bought up canned goods as if I was preparing for a hurricane." Diaz, a Sudanese Israeli citizen, explained that there are certain customs and practices in Israel that were initially very unfamiliar to him."Now, in our own language newspapers, there are articles outlining the High Holy Days and explaining their significance. But when I arrived, there was little information out there to explain Jewish customs, and that things are closed on Shabbat." The majority of those interviewed for this article felt similarly about the complete shut- down of services during the hagim. Samir Ben Layashi, a researcher at the Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University, has been here fifteen years after moving from Morocco.He voiced these frustrations, commenting: "This is very bad. Public services should be secular; they can slow down during the holidays, but they shouldn't stop completely." He added: "I have a feeling that the holy days are invading the public – secular - space. That was what disturbed me a lot in Morocco, and it is starting to disturb me here as well." This issue has been raised recently after transportation minister Israel Katz threatened to reduce the city's government funding for the city-run Tel-O-Fun bicycle rental project, after the Tel Aviv municipality decided that those with memberships could use them during Yom Kippur. Katz was backed by the religious parties among the city council.He insisted that allowing Tel Aviv residents to rent bicycles on Yom Kippur would signify a grave affront to "the most holy symbol of the State of Israel." High Holy Days: Religion or State? IT IS NOT just about bicycles - although it is an apt symbol, given the penchant of less- observant Israelis to take advantage of the empty streets on Yom Kippur to ride around freely. The question is how the state views the holidays; are they a "religious day" or an "Israeli day"? If it is the latter, how much do Israelis include the minority population in their celebrations? Nilu, a migrant who came to Israel from Sri Lanka, now takes care of an elderly couple in Ramat Gan and is always included in their family celebrations. She recalls her first Rosh Hashana, and compared the idea of eating sweet things to her own traditions back home."We also lay tables full of sweet things during happy celebrations, it brings us luck. The apples are much juicer, and larger, back home, though!" She added that each major religion had at least one national holiday. This idea embraced the multi religious and multi ethnic composition of Sri Lanka, and ensures knowledge about each other's traditions."We have Easter off, as well as Id al-Fitr. Then of course, we are all given Diwali to celebrate." Mohammad, a resident of Baka al-Gharbiya, reiterated this pluralist idea. "Israel is a multi-religious place. The country is called the Jewish country, but it still has minorities with different religions; Druze, Christians, Bahais...It's not their fault that the holidays come, and they can't do anything." He recalls a time in Baka where the police would come and close the shops open during Yom Kippur, often issuing heavy fines for breaking the law."It should be a right of people not to observe, or to celebrate the holidays. They want to do every day things without being looked at as if they are being provocative...The Jewish religion is not imposed on people, but the laws certainly are. It shouldn't be a crime [not to observe the holidays.]" He noted that most holidays don't affect the residents of Baka, jovially commenting: "There is no Yom Kippur in my city." On the issue of inclusion in Israeli festivals, Mohammad added that although they were taught about the holidays in school during Hebrew language and literature lessons, "we didn't really learn a lot about them. At least not in detail." Many non-Jewish Israeli's learn from experience, from living in the country and becoming accustomed to the traditions. Nilu, for example, learnt about Israeli culture by cooking the food (she is a dab-hand at Iraqi kubbeh – delicious meat stuffed dumplings) and hearing her young daughters singing Hannukah songs. She added that in the house, they have started celebrating Jewish holidays, erecting two flags — one Sri Lankan, the other Israeli— in their kitchen for such occasions.Similarly, Samir has learnt a lot about the high holy days by eating traditional food. "In Passover dinner, for example, I eat exactly what they eat, and try to read some passages from the Hagada. On Yom Kippur, I never tried to fast; I like to identify with other cultures holy days through their culinary, happy side." The flip side of the Latka CERTAINLY THE holidays are unavoidable in Israel, whether you like them or not. But how visible are the holidays of the minority to Israeli citizens? "I remember, one day, one colleague saw me with a cup of coffee during Ramadan," Samir recalled. "He asked me if I fasted during Ramadan. I replied no. In actual fact, I did not know it was Ramadan. Let's say that in my first years in Israel it was relatively easy to be a secular Muslim in Israel." Khaled, a bedouin from the Negev, echoes this sentiment. "We stick to our own holidays. I don't think anyone really knows when we are fasting, or perhaps they just don't care." Samir added: " 'My' holidays are celebrated here: Ramadan is the most important, but it is barely felt in Jaffa. I tried to go there by night to see if they celebrate it like in other Muslim countries... I remember when I lived in Cairo, people sang and danced the whole night in Khan Khalil. In Jaffa, Ramadan was invisible. And so are the Muslim inhabitants of Jaffa." Jewish holidays, and within that, Jewish law seep through many aspects of daily life. However, for Israel's largest minority population, the Israeli Arabs, who constitute around 20% of the population, their presence during the holidays is often ignored - or even seen as provocative. Mohammad tells a story of his grandfather, who was pelted with stones when driving through a Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem during a religious holiday. This kind of story represents a heavy intolerance for those who do not observe the festivals.Mohammad noted: "Like Jews, Muslims are not supposed to work on Fridays. If the country wants to put on Shabbat laws, well, everyone should do whatever they want. Get on with your own religion in your own way, not impose it on other people. Practice your religion by yourself." One American-Jewish student observed the "lack of Christmas" in Israel, despite the existence of up to 196,000 Christians in the country."There are no lights, no trees, no presents...it's quite a nice escape from the bombardment back home," she joked.Last Christmas, however, the Jewish National Fund distributed locally-grown Christmas trees to churches and the general public in Israel. Such examples show a concerted effort to enjoy the festive presence of minorities. Many Israelis enjoy the celebrations of other traditions; this year, thousands showed up to enjoy the Jerusalem Sacred Music festival, hearing religious music from Zimbabwe to Brazil and authentic rituals of Jerusalem's diverse faiths.There is also diversity within Jewish celebrations themselves. Traditions have evolved since the creation of the state to incorporate the vast diversity of customs that exist in each ethnic community. Many Ashkenazim, for example, enjoy the traditional maimuna, a Moroccan festival for breaking Passover. Yet for every positive step forward, there is also a step back - as demonstrated by the recent decision to phase out the Ethiopian community's white-turbaned clergy, or kessoch, from the rabbinate.On the eve of the holidays Israel is by no means unique in its struggle to maintain an identity whilst accommodating for their minority populations. But fundamental to Jewish law is the divine edict to treat the "stranger in your midst" with generosity and justice. By opening our hearts, our traditions and our tables to one another, this New Year will be the sweetest yet.

The TV is available in three sizes—46 in., 55 in. and 65 in. Tanenbaum noted that many of the available apps and widgets are what customers are doing in their daily lives at home.

INSOLVENCY PRACTITIONERS are known for their quick thinking and fast deal-making. However, radical reforms loom that will make chasing creditor funds through the courts a riskier and potentially more costly process.
The Ministry of Justice's Jackson Report recommends ways to curb no-win, no-fee deals proposed by solicitors.
Further reading
If these plans are introduced, insolvency practitioners (IPs) will have to carefully consider whether pursuing funds through the courts, with all the associated legal costs, is worthwhile for creditors. However, the MoJ is under pressure to exclude insolvency litigation from this process.
As part of no-win, no-fee deals, solicitors add on success fees. If such a case wins then insurance companies will also take an after-the-event fee.
Currently, insolvency practitioners (IPs) pursuing funds through the courts receive, from the losing side, damages, legal costs, solicitors' success fees and insurance costs if they win.
Should the new proposals be implemented, IPs will receive damages and legal costs if they are successful, though they will be forced to pay success fees and insurance expenses out of the damages, meaning a smaller return to creditors.
In the event of a loss currently, IPs have no insurance or legal costs; it is uncertain if this will continue after the reforms.
Insolvency practitioners' overarching legal duty is to maximise returns, through the courts if necessary, on behalf of creditors against directors or third parties that have harmed a business and committed fraud.
According to insolvency trade body R3's president Frances Coulson, the reforms will "hamper insolvency litigation" and seriously reduce returns to creditors in cases in which directors have "run off with the company's cash".
HMRC alone, as a recurring creditor in the majority of insolvencies, could stand to lose thousands annually from the change.
Small to suffer
The change is likely to affect smaller insolvency cases, the most of which make up the majority of administrations in the UK. IPs in smaller administrations could be forced to seek funding from alternative routes.
The IP might be forced to go cap in hand to creditors of the administration or seek third-party funding said Tim Carter, insolvency partner at Stevens & Bolton.
Arguably, it is unlikely in smaller administrations that IPs will be able to convince creditors to take on the cost risks associated with a court action.
However, third-party funders already take fund cases; currently they take a percentage of any wins. The likelihood is that these third parties will start to increase their percentages if IPs have nowhere else to turn.
Courts are overburdened and under-resourced, which is why the Jackson report was published. It hopes that many litigation cases can be handled through a mediator with the two warring sides meeting to discuss an out-of-court option or settlement.
However, this is not viable in most insolvency cases. In an administration, the IP is usually trying to recoup funds from a fraudulent director in court.
"Often in insolvency cases where there are misfeasance claims, it is difficult to moderate," said Carter.
However, all is not lost. A Ministry of Justice spokesman said earlier this week that the department is considering the impact of the reforms on insolvency litigation.
"Proceedings can bring substantial returns to creditors, including Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs. We are therefore discussing the specific implications with a view to reaching a satisfactory conclusion."

Seems like Germany is in a tough spot right now. It looks like they're trying the best they can to solve their economic problems with the people they have. Mr. Asmussen is in a difficult situation, and will be getting the brunt of criticism from the media if he does not preform.
JUST when the German government needs all the financial-markets expertise it can muster in Berlin, another of its technicians is sent to fill a hole in Frankfurt. Jörg Asmussen, chief secretary at the finance ministry will replace Jürgen Stark as chief economist at the European Central Bank (ECB).
Mr Stark resigned on September 9th, officially for personal reasons, but his opposition to the ECB's recent interventions to buy Italian and Spanish government bonds is well known.
Mr Asmussen, a trained economist in his mid-forties, is an experienced crisis manager. He was the main point-man at the finance ministry during the 2007 near-collapse of IKB, an industrial credit bank which had taken a gamble on American mortgages, and during all subsequent banking and sovereign-debt crises. That makes it questionable whether his nomination as chief economist at the ECB is the best use of his talents, especially when the ranks in Berlin are so thin. In addition to that of Mr Asmussen, the finance ministry is already trying to fill two key posts: the head of BaFin, the financial watchdog, and the head of financial market policy.
Earlier this year Jens Weidmann, chancellor Angela Merkel's financial-markets adviser, was sent to Frankfurt to fill the hole at the head of the Bundesbank left by Axel Weber. Mr Weber too was known to oppose the ECB's policy on sovereign-bond intervention, at that time on behalf of Greece.
Is Mr Asmussen likely to develop the same qualms? It is safe to assume that he is not taking the ECB job just so that another German can fall on his sword. Mr Asmussen became an important player at the finance ministry under a social-democrat (SPD) minister, Hans Eichel. He survived the SPD's removal from government in 2009 because his technical pragmatism was valued. But it may be that he has more sympathy for the ECB's bond-buying policy than his predecessors, as does today's opposition SPD.

He has earned numerous awards and commendations for his government service at both the FBI and the Treasury Department.
Dr. Levitt holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Yeshiva University, as well as a master's degree in law and diplomacy and a doctorate from Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He was a graduate research fellow at Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation and has taught at both Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies and Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.
Dr. Levitt has served as an expert witness in several criminal and civil cases, lectured on international terrorism on behalf of the Departments of State, Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security, consulted for various U.S. government agencies and private industry, and testified before the Senate and House on matters relating to international terrorism. He has held fellowships with the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the Homeland Security Policy Institute at the George Washington University, is a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and serves as a member of the international advisory board for both the Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Israel and the International Centre for Political Violence & Terrorism Research in Singapore.
Dr. Levitt has written extensively on terrorism, countering violent extremism, illicit finance and sanctions, the Middle East, and Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, with articles appearing in peer-reviewed journals, policy magazines, and the press, including the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, and numerous other publications. He is also a frequent guest on the national and international media, and the author of several books and monographs, including Hamas: Politics, Charity and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad (Yale University Press, 2006), Negotiating Under Fire: Preserving Peace Talks in the Face of Terror Attacks (Rowman & Littlefield, 2008), and Hezbollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon's Party of God (Georgetown University Press, 2013).

The Brite Strike Lightening Strike Personal Protection System is an excellent way to deter assaults, would-be stalkers or suspicious individuals. Originally designed as a safety product for women on college campuses, the included Personal Alarm is useful for anyone who traverses remote or dimly lit areas with limited surveillance. The alarm emits an ear-piercing 120 dB shrieking tone which startles the assailant while dazzling them with a powerful white light and flashing red light.
You can further subdue the threat with the system's 110 lumen flashlight which you can wear at your waist in its leather holster, in a pocket via its clip or in hand with the wrist strap. The flashlight is small and sturdy enough to use as a weapon at close quarters. Besides the brilliant white light it emits the flashlight has fast and slow strobe settings available via the "Tactical Touch" end cap.
- Small enough to hold comfortably in one hand for use as a defensive weapon in case of attack.
- Unique patented "Tactical Touch" end cap switch allows the user to switch from high to low to strobe settings, all with a light touch of your finger.
- The flashlight comes with a leather quick deployment fashion holster with a "wristy" so the light can be carried on your wrist, or be clipped on the outside of a purse, briefcase or clothing.
- The personal safety alarm is small and rugged, yet loud enough to scare off an attacker and alert others. It has a durable lanyard so it can be with you when you go to work or for a jog.

Re: Discussion: Legalizing Marijuana II
Doesn't happen often, but sometimes even Tennessee offers a glimmer of sense. Like just now, as I watched Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) tear Attorney General Eric Holder a new one over the Justice Department's continued aggressive policy towards marijuana.
VIDEO-CLick to Watch!
"One of the greatest threats to liberty has been the government taking peoples liberty for things that people are in favor of. The Pew Research Group shows that 52 percent of people do not think marijuana should be illegal. And yet there are people in jail, and your Justice Department is continuing to put people in jail, for sale, and use, on occasion, of marijuana. Thats something the American public has finally caught up with. It was a cultural lag. And its been an injustice for 40 years in this country to take peoples liberty for something that was similar to alcohol. You have continued what is allowing the Mexican cartels power, and the power to make money, ruin Mexico, hurt our country by having a prohibition in the late 20th and 21st century. We saw it didnt work in this country in the 20s. We remedied it. This is the time to remedy this Prohibition, and I would hope you would do so."
"When I was a fighting-man, the kettle-drums they beat,
The people scattered gold-dust before my horses feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

Turn over in amazingly high. No consistency in the direction of the department.

Gandhi Explains Why Restraint Was His Greatest Asset
Excerpt from "Quiet" | Chapter: "Soft Power"
In the West, passivity is a transgression. To be "passive," according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means to be "acted upon by an external agency." It also means to be "submissive." Gandhi himself ultimately rejected the phrase "passive resistance," which he associated with weakness, preferring satyagraha, the term he coined to mean "firmness in pursuit of truth."
The Power of Quiet Connectors
Stop "networking" and start searching for kindred spirits! Robyn Scott, owner of a company called "Intros" and author of "The Power of Quiet Connectors", says that the best connectors are private, modest, and low-key.

Not a page turner.
I really enjoyed Jane Haddam's other mysteries but the links to the characters was to much of a stretch. The reader know who has done it much too soon in the book.

Great mystery
He became a legend for his work in the FBI¿s Behavioral Science Unit, so much so, that when he retired he was asked to consult on some very high profile murder cases in Philadelphia. Gregor Demarkian attends a Main Line charity gathering in Bryn Mawr hosted by one of the most powerful and wealthiest bankers in the world, Tony Ross, who is murdered while greeting guests on the front stairs. Although he is technically a witness or a suspect the local police ask Gregor for help, which he gladly agrees to give.<P> When he goes home he learns that his church on Cavenaugh Street has been bombed and reduced to rubble. Since he is close to Father Kasparian, Gregor donates his services hoping to catch the perpetrator who did this horrific act. When Tony¿s wife Charlotte is murdered in a M.O. identical to that of her husband¿s death, conspiracy literature is found in her house. Gregor feels these three crimes are linked but finding the connection and a viable suspect will take all of his skills and a good deal of luck.<P> Jane Haddam has a wonderful sense of place and an ability to create fascinating characters. The author peels away the veil and spin doctoring of the very rich and powerful to show that they are not different than the average person in their desires and fears. CONSPIRACY THEORY is fast-paced and brilliantly plotted while displaying how the events of September 11th fit into the mindset of a conspiracy group who believes the Illuminati are controlling the country and moving towards a one world order. This is a mystery that readers will thoroughly enjoy.<P> Harriet Klausner

MTV Orders Daily Afternoon Singing Competition Series
"The Bachelor's" Mike Fleiss will executive produce "Copycat," which will air afternoons on the youth-skewing network.
MTV is expanding its afternoon foothold.
Two months after ordering a pair of unscripted series for afternoons, the Viacom-owned network has ordered to series Copycat, a singing competition entry from The Bachelor's Mike Fleiss.
STORY: Rob Dyrdek Show, Virgins Docuseries Among Four MTV Unscripted Pickups
Half-hour daily afternoon entry Copycat features singers battling it out on stage in a bid to sound like their favorite recording artists. The studio audience will vote on each performance, with winners walking away with a cash prize and the title of the "Ultimate Copycat."
The Bachelor's Fleiss will executive produce alongside Brendon Carter (Gene Simmons: Family Jewels, Brooke Knows Best). The Glee Project's Matt Laesch will co-executive produce, while Lauren Dolgen, Kristina Edwards and Jennifer Russakoff will oversee the Next Entertainment and Warner Horizon effort for MTV.
STORY: MTV's Susanne Daniels on Future of 'Awkward,' 'Real World,' Scripted Plans
Copycat will join two other daily afternoon series on the schedule: Rob Dyrdek's cooking competition series, Smackdown, as well as SallyAnn Salsano's dating vehicle, The Ex and the Why.
MTV last bulked up on afternoon programming in 2010, when the network picked up studio countdown show The Seven after saying farewell to TRL.
