The Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), also known as the monkey-eating eagle, is an eagle of the family Accipitridae endemic to forests in the Philippines. It has brown and white-coloured plumage, and a shaggy crest, and generally measures 86 to 102 cm (2.82 to 3.35 ft) in length and weighs 4.7 to 8.0 kilograms (10.4 to 17.6 lb). It is considered the largest of the extant eagles in the world in terms of length, with the Steller's sea eagle and the harpy eagle being larger in terms of weight and bulk.[2][3] Among the rarest and most powerful birds in the world, it has been declared the Philippine national bird.[4] It is critically endangered, mainly due to massive loss of habitat due to deforestation in most of its range. Killing a Philippine eagle is punishable under Philippine law by 12 years in jail and heavy fines.[5]
The first European to discover the species was the English explorer and naturalist John Whitehead in 1896, who observed the bird and whose servant, Juan, collected the first specimen a few weeks later.[6] The skin of the bird was sent to William Robert Ogilvie-Grant in London in 1896, who initially showed it off in a local restaurant and described the species a few weeks later.[7]
Upon its discovery, the Philippine eagle was first called the monkey-eating eagle because of reports from natives of Bonga, Samar, where the species was first discovered, that it preyed exclusively on monkeys;[8] from these reports it gained its generic name, from the Greek pithecus (πίθηκος) ("ape or monkey") and phagus (-φάγος) ("eater of").[9] The specific name commemorates Jeffery Whitehead, the father of John Whitehead.[7] Later studies revealed, however, that the alleged monkey-eating eagle also ate other animals, such as colugos, civets, large snakes, monitor lizards, and even large birds, such as hornbills. This, coupled with the fact that the same name applied to the African crowned eagle and the Central and South American harpy eagle, resulted in a presidential proclamation to change its name to Philippine eagle in 1978, and in 1995 was declared a national emblem. This species has no recognized subspecies.[10]
Apart from Philippine eagle and monkey-eating eagle, it has also been called the great Philippine eagle. It has numerous names in the many Philippine languages, including ágila ("eagle"), háribon (from haring ibón, "king bird") and banog ("kite").[4][11]
A study of the skeletal features in 1919 led to the suggestion that the nearest relative was the harpy eagle.[12] The species was included in the subfamily Harpiinae until a 2005 study of DNA sequences which identified them as not members of the group, finding instead, that the nearest relatives are snake eagles (Circaetinae), such as the bateleur. The species has subsequently been placed in the subfamily Circaetinae.[13]
The Philippine eagle's nape is adorned with long, brown feathers that form a shaggy crest. These feathers give it the appearance of possessing a lion's mane, which in turn resembles the mythical griffin. The eagle has a dark face and a creamy-brown nape and crown. The back of the Philippine eagle is dark brown, while the underside and underwings are white. The heavy legs are yellow, with large, powerful dark claws, and the prominent large, high-arched, deep beak is a bluish-gray. The eagle's eyes are blue-gray. Juveniles are similar to adults except their upperpart feathers have pale fringes.[14]
The Philippine eagle is typically reported as measuring 86–102 cm (2 ft 10 in–3 ft 4 in) in total length,[3][14][15][16] but a survey of several specimens from some of the largest natural history collections in the world found the average was 95 cm (3 ft 1 in) for males and 105 cm (3 ft 5 in) for females.[17] Based on the latter measurements, this makes it the longest extant species of eagle, as the average for the female equals the maximum reported for the harpy eagle[16] and Steller's sea eagle.[3] The longest Philippine eagle reported anywhere and the longest eagle outside of the extinct Haast's eagle is a specimen from Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH) with a length of 112 cm (3 ft 8 in), but it had been kept in captivity[2] so may not represent the wild individuals due to differences in the food availability.[18][19] The level of sexual dimorphism in size is not certain, but the male is believed to be typically about 10% smaller than the female,[3] and this is supported by the average length provided for males and females in one source.[17] In many of the other large eagle species, the size difference between adult females and males can exceed 20%.[3] For adult Philippine eagles, the complete weight range has been reported as 4.7 to 8 kg (10 to 18 lb),[3][20][21] while others have found the average was somewhat lower than the above range would indicate, at 4.5 kg (9.9 lb) for males and 6 kg (13 lb) for females.[17] One male (age not specified) was found to weigh 4.04 kg (8.9 lb).[22] The Philippine eagle has a wingspan of 184 to 220 cm (6 ft 0 in to 7 ft 3 in) and a wing chord length of 57.4–61.4 cm (22.6–24.2 in).[3][23] The maximum reported weight is surpassed by two other eagles (the harpy and Steller's sea eagle) and the wings are shorter than large eagles of open country (such as the white-tailed eagle, Steller's sea eagle, martial eagle or wedge-tailed eagle), but are quite broad.[3] The tarsus of the Philippine eagle ties as the longest of any eagle from 12.2 to 14.5 cm (4.8 to 5.7 in) long, which is about the same length as that of the much smaller but relatively long-legged New Guinea eagle.[3] The very large but laterally compressed bill rivals the size of the Steller's sea eagle's as the largest bill for an extant eagle. Its bill averages 7.22 cm (2.84 in) in length from the gape.[2] The tail is fairly long at 42–45.3 cm (16.5–17.8 in) in length,[3] while another source lists a tail length of 50 cm (20 in).[24]
The most frequently heard noises made by the Philippine eagle are loud, high-pitched whistles ending with inflections in pitch.[25] Additionally, juveniles have been known to beg for food by a series of high-pitched calls.[14]
The Philippine eagle is endemic to the Philippines and can be found on four major islands: eastern Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao. The largest number of eagles reside on Mindanao, with between 82 and 233 breeding pairs. Only six pairs are found on Samar, two on Leyte, and a few on Luzon. It can be found in Northern Sierra Madre National Park on Luzon and Mount Apo, Mount Malindang and Mount Kitanglad National Parks on Mindanao.[7][26]
This eagle is found in dipterocarp and mid-montane forests, particularly in steep areas. Its elevation ranges from the lowlands to mountains of over 1,800 metres (5,900 ft). Only an estimated 9,220 km2 (2,280,000 acres) of old-growth forest remain in the bird's range.[7] However, its total estimated range is about 146,000 km2 (56,000 sq mi).[14]
Evolution in the Philippine islands, without other predators, made the eagles the dominant hunter in the Philippine forests. Each breeding pair requires a large home range to successfully raise a chick, thus the species is extremely vulnerable to deforestation. Earlier, the territory has been estimated at about 100 km2 (39 sq mi), but a study on Mindanao Island found the nearest distance between breeding pairs to be about 13 km (8.1 mi) on average, resulting in a circular plot of 133 km2 (51 sq mi).[27]
The species' flight is fast and agile, resembling the smaller hawks more than similar large birds of prey.[28]
Juveniles in play behavior have been observed gripping knotholes in trees with their talons and, using their tails and wings for balance, inserting their heads into tree cavities.[29] Additionally, they have been known to attack inanimate objects for practice, as well as attempt to hang upside down to work on their balance.[29] As the parents are not nearby when this occurs, they apparently do not play a role in teaching the juvenile to hunt.[29]
Life expectancy for a wild eagle is estimated to be from 30 to 60 years. A captive Philippine eagle lived for 41 years in Rome Zoo, and it was already adult when it arrived at the zoo.[29] However, wild birds on average are believed to live shorter lives than captive birds.[29]
The Philippine eagle was known initially as the Philippine monkey-eating eagle because it was believed to feed on monkeys (the only monkey native to the Philippines is the Philippine long-tailed macaque) almost exclusively; this has proven to be inaccurate. This may be because the first examined specimen was found to have undigested pieces of a monkey in its stomach.[30] Like most predators, the Philippine eagle is an opportunist that takes prey based on its local level of abundance and ease.[30] It is the apex predator in its range.
Prey specimens found at the eagle's nest have ranged in size from a small bat weighing 10 g (0.35 oz) to a Philippine deer weighing 14 kg (31 lb).[30] The primary prey varies from island to island depending on species availability, particularly in Luzon and Mindanao, because the islands are in different faunal regions. For example, the tree squirrel-sized Philippine flying lemurs, the preferred prey in Mindanao, are absent in Luzon.[7] The primary prey for the eagles seen in Luzon are monkeys, birds, flying foxes, giant cloud-rats Phloeomys pallidus which can weigh twice as much as flying lemurs at 2 to 2.5 kg (4.4 to 5.5 lb), and reptiles such as large snakes and lizards.[31] The flying lemur could make up an estimated 90% of the raptor's diet in some locations.[28] While the eagles generally seem to prefer flying lemurs where available, most other animals found in the Philippines, short of adult ungulates and humans, may be taken as prey. This can include Asian palm civets (12% of the diet in Mindanao), macaques, flying squirrels, tree squirrels, fruit bats, rats, birds (owls and hornbills), reptiles (snakes and monitor lizards), and even other birds of prey.[7][28][30] They have been reported to capture young pigs and small dogs.[28]
Philippine eagles primarily use two hunting techniques. One is still-hunting, in which it watches for prey activity while sitting almost motionlessly on a branch near the canopy. The other is perch-hunting, which entails periodically gliding from one perch to another. While perch-hunting, they often work their way gradually down from the canopy on down the branches and, if not successful in find prey in their initial foray, will fly or circle back up to the top of the trees to work them again. Eagles in Mindanao often find success using the latter method while hunting flying lemurs, since they are nocturnal animals which try to use camouflage to protect them by day.[3] Eagle pairs sometimes hunt troops of monkey cooperatively, with one bird perching nearby to distract the primates, allowing the other to swoop in from behind, hopefully unnoticed, for the kill.[3][28] Since the native macaque is often around the same size as the eagle itself, at approximately 9 kg (20 lb) in adult males, it is a potentially hazardous prey, and eagles have been reported to suffer broken leg due from a fall after struggling and fell along with a large male monkey.[30]
The complete breeding cycle of the Philippine eagle lasts two years. The female matures sexually at five years of age and the male at seven. Like most eagles, the Philippine eagle is monogamous. Once paired, a couple remains together for the rest of their lives.[6] If one dies, the remaining eagle often searches for a new mate to replace the one lost.[29]
The beginning of courtship is signaled by nest-building, and the eagle remaining near its nest. Aerial displays also play a major role in the courtship. These displays include paired soaring over a nesting territory, the male chasing the female in a diagonal dive, and mutual talon presentation, where the male presents his talons to the female's back and she flips over in midair to present her own talons. Advertisement displays coupled with loud calling have also been reported. The willingness of an eagle to breed is displayed by the eagle bringing nesting materials to the bird's nest. Copulation follows and occurs repeatedly both on the nest and on nearby perches. The earliest courtship has been reported in July.[29]
Breeding season is in July; birds on different islands, most notably Mindanao and Luzon, begin breeding at different ends of this range.[6] The amount of rainfall and population of prey may also affect the breeding season.[6] The nest is normally built on an emergent dipterocarp, or any tall tree with an open crown, in primary or disturbed forest. The nests are lined with green leaves, and can be around 1.5 m (4.9 ft) across. The nesting location is around 30 m (98 ft) or even more above the ground.[7][28] As in many other large raptors, the eagle's nest resembles a huge platform made of sticks.[3][28] The eagle frequently reuses the same nesting site for several different chicks.[7] Eight to 10 days before the egg is ready to be laid, the female is afflicted with a condition known as egg lethargy. In this experience, the female does not eat, drinks lots of water, and holds her wings droopingly.[29] The female typically lays one egg in the late afternoon or at dusk, although occasionally two have been reported.[28][29] If an egg fails to hatch or the chick dies early, the parents will likely lay another egg the following year. Copulation may last a few days after the egg is laid to enable another egg to be laid should the first one fail. The egg is incubated for 58 to 68 days (typically 62 days) after being laid.[3] Both sexes participate in the incubation, but the female does the majority of incubating during the day and all of it at night.[29]
Both sexes help feed the newly hatched eaglet. Additionally, the parents have been observed taking turns shielding the eaglet from the sun and rain until it is seven weeks old.[29] The young eaglet fledges after four or five months.[28] The earliest an eagle has been observed making a kill is 304 days after hatching.[29] Both parents take care of the eaglet for a total of 20 months and, unless the previous nesting attempt had failed, the eagles can breed only in alternate years.[3][6] The Philippine eagle rivals two other large tropical eagles, namely the crowned eagle and harpy eagle, for having the longest breeding cycle of any bird of prey.[3][32] Even nests have no predators other than humans, as even known nest predators such as palm civets and macaques (being prey species) are likely to actively avoid any area with regular eagle activity.[33]
In 2010, the IUCN and BirdLife International listed this species as critically endangered.[1][14] The International Union for the Conservation of Nature believes between 180 and 500 Philippine eagles survive in the Philippines.[6] They are threatened primarily by deforestation through logging and expanding agriculture. Old-growth forest is being lost at a high rate, and most of the forest in the lowlands is owned by logging companies.[7] Mining, pollution, exposure to pesticides that affect breeding, and poaching are also major threats.[5][6] Additionally, they are occasionally caught in traps laid by local people for deer. Though this is no longer a major problem, the eagle's numbers were also reduced by being captured for zoos.[6]
The diminishing numbers of the Philippine eagle were first brought to international attention in 1965 by the noted Filipino ornithologist Dioscoro S. Rabor, and the director of the Parks and Wildlife Office, Jesus A. Alvarez.[34][35][36] Charles Lindbergh, best known for crossing the Atlantic alone and without stopping in 1927, was fascinated by this eagle. As a representative of the World Wildlife Fund, Lindbergh traveled to the Philippines several times between 1969 and 1972, where he helped persuade the government to protect the eagle. In 1969, the Monkey-eating Eagle Conservation Program was started to help preserve this species. In 1992, the first Philippine eagles were born in captivity through artificial insemination; however, not until 1999 was the first naturally bred eaglet hatched. The first captive-bred bird to be released in the wild, Kabayan, was released in 2004 on Mindanao; however, he was accidentally electrocuted in January 2005. Another eagle, Kagsabua, was released March 6, 2008, but was shot and eaten by a farmer.[6] Killing this critically endangered species is punishable under Philippine law by 12 years in jail and heavy fines.[5]
Its numbers have slowly dwindled over the decades to the current population of 180 to 500 eagles. A series of floods and mud slides, caused by deforestation, further devastated the remaining population. The Philippine eagle may soon no longer be found in the wild, unless direct intervention is taken. The Philippine Eagle Foundation in Davao City, Philippines is one organization dedicated to the protection and conservation of the Philippine eagle and its forest habitat. The Philippine Eagle Foundation has successfully bred Philippine eagles in captivity for over a decade and conducted the first experimental release of a captive-bred eagle to the wild. The foundation has 35 eagles at its center, of which 18 were bred in captivity.[6] Ongoing research on behavior, ecology, and population dynamics is also underway. In recent years, protected lands have been established specifically for this species, such as the 700 km2 (170,000 acres) of Cabuaya Forest and the 37.2 square kilometers (9,200 acres) of Taft Forest Wildlife Sanctuary on Samar.[37] However, a large proportion of the population is found on unprotected land.[6]
The Philippine eagle was officially declared the national bird of the Philippines on 4 July 1995 by President Fidel V. Ramos under Proclamation No. 615.[38] This eagle, because of its size and rarity, is also a highly desired bird for birdwatchers.[28]
The Philippine eagle has also featured on at least 12 stamps from the Philippines, with dates ranging from 1967 to 2007. It was also depicted on the 50-centavo coins minted from 1981 to 1994.
Historically, about 50 Philippine eagles have been kept in zoos in Europe (England, Germany, Belgium, Italy and France), the United States, and Japan.[39] The first was a female that arrived in London Zoo in August 1909[39] and died there in February 1910.[40] The majority arrived in zoos between 1947 and 1965.[39] The last outside the Philippines died in 1988 in the Antwerp Zoo, where it had lived since 1964 (except for a period at the Planckendael Zoo in Belgium).[39] The first captive breeding was only achieved in 1992 at the facility of the Philippine Eagle Foundation in Davao City, Philippines, which has bred it several times since then.[6][41]
The Philippine Eagle is also used in Sporting events as a mascot, most notably in the 2005 Southeast Asian Games held in Manila known as "Gilas". The Philippine Eagle is also the animal used in the Philippines men's national basketball team or Gilas Pilipinas' logo/team crest

The Black Horse BIG Liberty 182 Semi-Scale "Cessna"
About a year and a half ago I was asked to recommend a High Wing Trainer Electric. My first response was the "New" 56.7" Liberty EP from Hobby Lobby. My suggestion was taken, and in short order it was up and flying. I had the privilege of actually making the maiden flight , and I was totally impressed with the plane. There was a bit of wind that day, and the 56.7" trainer did not seem to mind it a bit.
Well, a few weeks ago I got to fly the same Liberty EP again. And again it was windy .... straight down the runway. Well it was just a blast floating that little electric in and doing touch-n-goes. This got me thinking. There is also a larger version. Hmm .... well you know how it goes, a little pit talk and before you know it I am hooked. I had to have one. And from all my searching here at RCG, it seems no one has ever reviewed one, nor is there much talk of this big trainer at all. Looking for the BIG Liberty 182 - 71.9" Trainer Well to my surprise, Hobby Lobby had stopped selling the 56.7" Liberty EP . Not really sure why (seems like a bad business move) as to me this was a super great trainer and a good first electric. I was also having a hard time finding the larger 71.9" wing span Liberty 182. No one seemed to have one on this side of the Atlantic. Enter American Pioneer Hobbies Inc. Not only did they carry the smaller Liberty EP, but they also stocked the BIG Liberty 182. I was ready to order that evening when I discovered they only did email and phone orders, no web store. I called them up on Monday and quickly got my order placed. The order process was a little unconventional, but they were quick to ship and quick to answer my emails. The model arrived today in good condition 8 days from the order and all is well. It came packaged good - as good as any in a double box. Now I begin the process of assembly. I hope to have it ready by next Tuesday, but not sure as I have a busy weekend ahead and I have been sick this week and getting over a cold. |

A Look Inside
A quick look around the box finds everything looking very good. A very complete set of hardware and A Very Nicely Covered model. The covering is actually some of the best I have ever seen.
There is also a load of build up in the fuse. It is very stout, but not heavy at all. Looks like this plane could take a beating from a beginner and keep on going. While I am no beginner, I got this plane because of the smaller Liberty's ability to handle wind, float and do Touch-n-goes. I am looking for a relaxed sport plane to just float around in between those other "hair-raising" models that I have. ImagesView all Images in thread

Let's Look at the Power Plant
OK, Before the 182 arrived, I started considering what kind of power I would need to fly it. I like my models over powered, but that was going to prove difficult for the motors and batteries I had on hand. I am trying to avoid going to 4s packs and what I have on had is an 800kv motor.
I am going to try the Budget HXT 3548 C 800kv version from United Hobbies. It is the same size as the recommended AXI 2826. After my initial testing, I think the 800 kv is a little over stated in the HXT motor. I have a Himax 800kv motor of the same size and on the same prop it does much better. None the less, I will try with the 800kv HXT. Without knowing how much clearance I would have, I tried various pitch 11 and 12 size props. My desired power goal is 75 watts per pound minimum on 2 3s 2100 packs. I think I will be able to get the weight to come in under the speced 4.7 lbs as I will use HS-81 size instead of standard servos. The model calls for 5 servos, I may try to do it with 4 powering the nose wheel off the same servos as the rudder. I have already spoken with Dimensions Engineering and they assure me that the ParkBEC will be fine for his project as an external BEC. So got one of them already. And I will pair this with a Dynam 40 amp ESC. Here is what I am getting so far: ImagesView all Images in thread

Dano, you can still get either this one or the Small one from American Pioneer Hobbies Inc. And I must say, that Liberty EP small version as a trainer flys head and shoulders better than the Hobbico Super Star EP. And you know I love my Super Star so that is saying a lot.
The 57.6" wing Libetery EP comes in at under 3 lbs. Larger and lighter than the SSEP. If you add a nose wheel to the SSEP it will be much heavier than the Liberty I would think. As I said, I have flown them both and the Liberty is much nicer. |

Assuming you are going to fly this model in windy conditions then, I would higly recommend at least 20oz./Sq.-Ft. wing loading. Take a look at: http://www.rc-electric-aircraft-info..._airplane.html |

Social Digging
Where is the legal line when it comes to using social media to evaluate job candidates?
We're hiring a new office manager and looking for someone trustworthy and friendly. Going through applications, we found that some of the hiring staff were able to view applicants' Facebook profiles, either due to mutual friends or because of the applicant's privacy settings. Are there any legal reasons not to do this? Can we raise questions during interviews based on the information we've learned via social media?
Building a Better City
With the new arena as an architectural catalyst, will Sacramento finally go bold?
Architects who have lived and worked in Sacramento have a lot to say about the aesthetics of the new city on the horizon. The Kings' arena is a bold start, they agree, but they say that a strong vision must continue in projects on the drawing boards if the city is going to realize its full potential.

Strip Mall Molecular
In suburban Vallejo, a gastronomic gem blooms in an unlikely setting
It's a rainy Wednesday, and Chef Michael Warring is mulling over the night's menu in his eponymous restaurant, enjoying a moment of calm before seating begins in an elegantly appointed dining room that gives nary a hint of its former life as an ice cream parlor.

Young entrepreneurs create mobile app for on-call babysitters
NannyMe is a business and mobile application created by a few Sacramento high schoolers. Similar to the rideshare app Uber, NannyMe receives babysitting requests, then pings nannies (local high school students), who can accept or decline the job. Since NannyMe launched in December, about 75 families have signed up with the service.
The New World of Ag
Investment in agtech is growing, but will the Central Valley cash in?
Through certain entrepreneurial eyes, agricultural technology looks a lot more relevant than the latest iPhone app or social networking tool. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, by 2050 the world will need 70 percent more food to feed an additional 2.3 billion people.. And the Central Valley is poised to cash in — if we play our cards right.
Past the Ping Pong Tables
Your internal brand matters more than your office perks
Thinking about progressive company cultures probably brings to mind businesses like Google, Twitter, Facebook — companies with free snacks and bean bag chairs. But it's not the toys and perks that create these cultures. Collaborative-style seating and ping pong tables are the side effects, rather than the catalysts, of enviable and innovative company cultures.

Amid housing boom, Placer County eyes a plan to preserve farmland
County officials appear close to approving a sweeping plan to preserve Placer's agricultural character. If approved by the Board of Supervisors, a conservation plan would protect a large area of farms and open space in the western portion of Placer County, and keep them free of development for at least 50 years —possibly longer.

For Amazon, a Gaga Do-Over
Online Retailer Repeats 99-Cent Promotion; 'This Time We're Ready'
Amazon.com Inc. acknowledged it was unprepared for the response to the Lady Gaga promotion it ran on Monday, when customers flooded the online retailer with requests to buy a digital copy of the hit singer's new album for 99 cents.
The company repeated the deal Thursday, limiting the offer to the one day. "We understand that some customers experienced download delays or decided not to buy it, so we're offering it again, and this time we're ready," said Amazon spokeswoman Cat Griffin.
Ms. Griffin said the response to the album was "the largest amount of interest we have ever seen for an album in just one day," and the influx of customers caused a backlog in the system. She declined to elaborate on the exact cause of the delay, saying only that Amazon is "confident that the problem has been fixed."
The company has sometimes been slow to acknowledge problems. For example, Amazon angered clients of its Web Services business, which hosts other companies' online operations, last month when its servers suffered an outage. Amazon didn't apologize and explain the problem to customers until a week after the outage.
On Monday, Amazon customers complained that they couldn't download Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" album. The company posted a message on Twitter that said it was "experiencing very high volume" and promised customers who ordered the album Monday would get it for 99 cents.
The promotion is part of Amazon's strategy to win customers from Apple Inc. 's iTunes store, which controls the vast majority of the digital-music market. Amazon offered the Lady Gaga album as part of its daily deal for its online music store. It is losing money on the album, which has a wholesale price of about $9, but hopes to draw more business with such popular deals.
"Born This Way" was the best-selling album on both Amazon and the Apple's iTunes store Thursday. The top seller on Amazon was the 99-cent edition of the album, while iTunes had a $15.99 bonus-track version atop its charts. Amazon also sold that special edition for $12.99.
Thanks to the renewed promotion, people in the music industry estimate the album will sell as many as 1 million copies in its first week of domestic availability. It would be only the fourth album since 2005 to reach that level so quickly.

- The Lessons of Lady Gaga (01/29/2010)
Amazon launched its digital-music store in 2007, four years after Apple opened its iTunes store. Amazon differentiates itself by offering a daily deal on an album from a well-known artist, typically selling such products at $3 to $5. But Apple has an advantage because its sleek iPod and iPhone music players are well integrated with iTunes.
This week's Lady Gaga promotion probably gave Amazon a short-term boost, people in the music industry said. But the online retailer can't afford to take losses on every album, leaving the question of how it will entice consumers to come back and download other albums at higher prices.
Amazon often forgoes profits as it seeks to attract more customers in many product categories. It has recently emphasized expansion and revenue growth in its conventional retail business. Its first-quarter profits dropped 33% as it spent to build more fulfillment centers, among other things.

Owen eyes swift OT move
22 May 2007 - 17:12:59
Owen Hargreaves has suggested he could be a Manchester United player by the end of the week.
Hargreaves is set to move to Old Trafford in a £17million transfer after Bayern Munich reluctantly agreed to sell the England midfielder to the Premiership champions.
The 26-year-old is due to link up with the England B side for the match against Albania at Burnley on Friday which potentially leaves him free to tie up the loose ends of his transfer with the United hierarchy.
"It has been one of the longest transfer sagas," Hargreaves told BBC's Inside Sport.
"I am sure this week we'll hear some new information."
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson originally tied to sign the tenacious midfielder last summer after his impressive displays in the heart of England's midfield during the World Cup.
However, Bayern rebuffed United's advances insisting the player would be remaining in the Bundesliga.
Hargreaves himself admitted he wanted to move to England and, after a ten-month transfer saga, now looks set to fulfil his ambitions.
Bayern president Franz Beckenbauer confirmed the move at the weekend, saying: "Owen Hargreaves will go. It's also the wish of the player."

South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest. To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case. The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina. Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians. Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight?

First screens of Bit.Trip FLUX fill my brain with joyI got to play Bit.Trip FLUX in its entirety yesterday. I loved it so much, but I promised the guys at Gaijin Games I wouldn't tell you that (or anything else about the game for that matter) without their explicit permission. Luckily for me, reader NintenDaan scored these pics of the game from completing the Bit.Trip level in Mission to Snowdriftland, which allows me to post them for your delight. Sadly, I'm not sure if I can tell you anything else about the game; not until I hear from someone at Gaijin. I'll be sure to update this post if and when I hear from them. Sorry to be a tease, Bit.Trip fans! As for you non-Bit.Trip fans, go download the Bit.Trip FATE demo. You'll become a fan sooner than you probably think. Same with Lilt Line (which also has a demo out). To play these games is to love them. Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this.

I didn't have either until I was already in labor. Lost plug during early labor at home and no bloody show until a couple days later when I was checking in at the hospital and got my first cervical check.

In my research group, we use a combination of analytical theory and numerical simulation to study problems in soft matter physics ranging from jamming in glassforming liquids, foams and granular materials, to biophysical self-assembly in actin structures and other systems. The idea of jamming is that slow relaxations in many different systems, ranging from glassforming liquids to foams and granular materials, can be viewed in a common framework. For example, one can define jamming to occur when a system develops a yield stress or extremely long stress relaxation time in a disordered state. According to this definition, many systems jam. Colloidal suspensions of particles are fluid but jam when the pressure or density is raised. Foams and emulsions (concentrated suspensions of deformable bubbles or droplets) flow when a large shear stress is applied, but jam when the shear stress is lowered below the yield stress. Even molecular liquids jam as temperature is lowered or density is increasedthis is the glass transition. We have been testing the speculation that jamming has a common origin in these different systems, independent of the control parameter varied. On the biophysical side, our research has been motivated recently by the phenomenon of cell crawling. When a cell crawls, its cytoskeleton—a network of filaments (primarily composed of the protein actin) that maintains the mechanical rigidity of the cell and gives the cell its shape—must reorganize in structure. This reorganization is accomplished via polymerization, depolymerization and branching of actin filaments, as well as by crosslinking the filaments together with "linker" proteins. The morphology of the resulting structure is of special interest because it determines the mechanical properties of the network. We are developing dynamical descriptions that capture morphology. In addition, we are exploring models for how actin polymerization gives rise to force generation at the leading edge.

Even most of his opposition think of Michael Hendry as the defending champion in Arrowtown this week, a tag the man himself is only too happy to accept.
The New Zealand No 1 won the last two professional tournaments - the New Zealand PGA Championship - played at The Hills which operated under the same pro-am format as this week's New Zealand Open.
The only differences are: the field is slightly stronger, the Brodie Breeze trophy for the New Zealand Open champion is on the line, and one of the players' opening two rounds will be down the road at the equally spectacular Millbrook Resort.
"It feels like a situation where I'm coming back to defend again," Hendry said.
"Just knowing I've had so much success around this course before, it brings back a lot of good feelings. I feel comfortable straight away, I know how to play here and I know how to win."
The course clearly suits him as does the pro-am format which will see him play with former top-20 player American Rocco Mediate, and two amateurs, former test cricketer Mark Richardson and Rebel Sport boss Rod Duke.
"It's a very positional course. Generally, you put yourself in position off the tee, then attack the flags from there.
"It's not a course you're going to overpower with distance because you can get yourself in a lot of trouble. It's more about plotting your way around the course accurately."
Hendry said that's the type of golf which suits him best. And while the public and even his opposition are talking up Hendry's chances up, the man himself said that comes with pitfalls.
'There's a certain level of expectation you put on yourself because you know you can play pretty well around this golf course. But you just have to treat it like it's any other tournament."
But it's not like any other tournament.
This is the New Zealand Open, a tournament Hendry rates second only to winning a major.
And he'd dearly love to add it to his ever-growing CV, which now boasts four professional wins, before heading back to the Japan Golf Tour for a second year.
"It would be nice to have both titles [the NZPGA Championship and the New Zealand Open] at the same time."
Hendry is the leading hope to break an 11-year drought since a New Zealander last won the national tournament, but he's not a lone horse.
Ryan Fox and Gareth Paddison are both playing well and are confident, while Mark Brown has a steely determination to him this week.
Brown came to Arrowtown early and his accuracy and ball-striking make him one to watch if he can get his putter hot.
It's Brown's experience that could be key this week, especially as the two courses are playing almost like three.
Millbrook's back nine has been redeveloped by Greg Turner - one of eight previous New Zealand Open winners in the field - and according to Brown will play slightly differently from the front nine.
The top ranked player in the field is world No 125 Scott Hend and though he said The Hills course "does my head in", he's too good to write off.

Beautiful Fabric This silk is a beautiful fabric and I like the color. They compliment the light gray paint in the room. The only complaint I have is that the hems in the bottom corners where the weights were sewn in were a bit puckered up, which I had to correct myself.

Beautiful drapes I debated and debated about ordering these because I had just returned a set (my fault, bought too short) and I was hesitant to purchase with the possibility of having to return. My hesitancy was all about color. The picture is pretty true to life. These are a darker gray/silver. The drapes feel very expensive. They are heavy, nicely lined, and hang beautifully. I really like the tabbed back for hanging vs. feeding a pole through a long channel.

OMG!--most beautiful curtains My partner and I wanted to use these curtains as a room divider separating our entry way/bathroom/kitchen area (Brooklyn railroad apt) from our bedroom area. The curtains are just gorgeous and stunning---they go great with our silvery blue and ash white paint colors. Even though people on the entryway side see the back lining (white) of the curtains---they still look amazing---they block a lo of food odors wafting from our open kitchen and insulate a lot of heat from our radiators keeping our bedroom area toasty...the curtains look and feel like silk despite their 'faux' and more affordable materials.

Questions & Answers
Hello Tina, this just comes with the curtain panel itself. Thank you for shopping with us!
what are the panel widths
Hello littlehorse, each panel is approximately 50 inches wide. Thanks for shopping with us!
It said the panels were weighted at the bottom. Will that or anything else affect hemming the panels? 96" is too short and 108" will be too long so I'd like to order 108"s and hem them to fit.
Hello Corinne917, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. We will continue to try and answer this for you. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
Does this include a set of panels for 1 window?

How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.
How to Drape a Scarf Valance
The flowing beauty of a scarf valance adds character to home window treatments. With many ways to drape a scarf valance, it is simple to change the look in each room of the home. Whether the scarf valance is positioned over panels of drapery, sheer curtains or blinds, it adds color and texture to the room. Discover a few basic instructions that will yield a swag-style scarf valance using swag hooks. The instructions may be modified to create a variety of creative valances.
How to Adjust Tension Rods
Curtains are a great way to accent the decor in every room in the house. Tension rods, also called spring rods, are curtain hardware which allow you to hang window curtains, wall curtains or shower curtains without installing curtain rod hardware on the walls. If an existing tension rod slips or if you want to change the curtain panels or add curtain rings, you may need to remove and adjust the rod before putting it back in place. Tension rods are positioned between two facing surfaces, such as the interior frame of a window or the opposing sides of a shower cubicle.
Facts about Vintage Brooches

In addition, blackout window treatments help you conserve energy by keeping heat in and cold out or vice versa. You have two choices when it comes to installing blackout curtains: You can buy curtains that come with blackout liners already sewn in, or you can add panels of blackout fabric to the curtains you already own.

Best Duvet Covers for Each Season
For those who use duvet blankets year-round, duvet covers allow you to change patterns and color to match every season. Along with the decor of the bedroom, a duvet cover may enhance the ambiance of the entire room or supply it with rich colors and textures for the ultimate comfort factor. If you purchased an expensive duvet, covering it throughout the year will keep it in good shape and allow you to wash it without compromising the batting. Look below to learn the best duvet covers for each season. Spring: Once the evenings start warming up, lighter fabrics like satin provide sheen and style to any bedroom. Satin duvet covers are most often comprised of fabrics like nylon, rayon or silk to provide durability as well as comfort. For spring, lighter colors, including pastels or variations of cream and beige, brighten the room. Summer: During warm summer nights, cotton duvets are one of the most common fabric choices. Light and airy, cotton is also easy to clean and comes in virtually every color and pattern. For the summer season, try a white duvet cover, which will make the room appear more open and spacious. A cotton blend that contains polyester is also an ideal choice for summer, because it is soft, requires simple washing and does not wrinkle. Fall: For the fall season, a duvet cover that is warm enough for intermittent chilly nights is an ideal choice. Microsuede duvet covers offer a soft feel to bedding and come in a variety of colors. This material is easy to care for and machine washable. For fall, choose earthy colors like beige, brown, dark green or burgundy for a seasonal look. Winter: A luxurious duvet cover is a favorite option for warmth during the winter months. Velvet is a soft fabric that comes in a variety of rich colors and provides plenty of insulation for cold nights. The luxurious texture looks good in any style of room decor. For winter months, choose deep, rich colors like burgundy, plum, forest green or chocolate to enhance the room. View All Duvet Covers Back to Guides Directory View All Duvet Covers

Popular Duvet Cover Styles and Fabrics
Duvet covers are available in a variety of fabrics and patterns. The right style for your bedroom is a matter of personal taste.
