However, from what I can find on the web, it seems that the Kindle's e-ink screen makes up about 2/3 of the cost, so ultimately it will depend on how fast that can be reduced. I hadn't realised how expensive the screen was, I'd assumed most of the cost would be in the electronics.
The could probably throw a cheap LCD on there, but then the battery life will suck.

And often, they hit a point where they can't afford the Internet service and the laptop and then that is going to undercut their ability to earn money as well.
So publishers often seem like technophobes because they are still so invested in the print market. But while e-books have substituted for some mmp sales, they have not added as many new sales as hoped. And a large chunk of the market can't buy the e-books. Cononomous feels they will eventually be able to do so. But a lot of economic data is not pointing that way. So publishers will sell their usual 20-25%, but the question is, will it be 20-25% of 3/5ths of the population, like it is now, or will be 20-25% of only 1/5th of the population, concentrated on e-books? That would be a very big drop unless you take those lower fifths and find a way to ensure that they have regular Internet access and a way to read and thus sometimes buy e-books. The U.S. economy is recovering very, very slowly. The budgets for schools and libraries are getting worse. Even if you manage access -- and sometimes it can be done cheaply -- access to things on the Web is getting more complicated. So I don't know what is going to happen, and I think predictions based on technology development patterns of the early 1900's and 1950's may be on shaky ground because we're not in the same economic situations. Okay, I'm meandering again. I'll stop.

A lot of people can't read on their PC screens, though. Well, I can read forums and everything but I can't read books on it. I'm sure that goes for many other people too. Plus if you're stuck with just reading on your PC, you lose one major thing - portability. You can throw a book in your bag and read it anywhere. Same with an e-reader. Your PC? Not so much.
Phones? Same again. They're not designed for reading books on, and all but the largest smartphones will be a little bit of a pain to read on at the very least.
But no, Edward is right. E-readers need to drop much more in price and improve in quality. Wouldn't surprise me if we started to get a colour e-ink in the next few years, either.

What I'd like to see done about eReaders in Canada is consistent taxing. Paper books only get federal sales tax and eBooks get both federal and provincial. Why? It irks me to no end.

Laptops are portable and cheaper than PCs in most places. Tablets are portable. And younger people have less problems reading novels and other documents by smartphone and other mobile handheld devices. That's why there was a huge market in Japan and parts of East Asia for e-books long before Amazon got the Kindle up and running. They are usually several years ahead of us on this sort of stuff. My husband uses his iPad for work for reading text documents and editing them. (In fact, I will not be at all surprised if tablets become a major tool for book editors and copyeditors at publishing houses real soon.) But yes, these sorts of issues do make cuts in the audience, as does the bathtub issue (though they are working on that,) and the permanent storage issue.

Binary EITHOR/OR thinking is silly in most real-world situations. Yet otherwise bright people still do it. Perhaps they are lazy. Or it's an attention disorder. Or a need to focus on only one small part of a larger field - avoiding the bigger picture because they can't handle complexity.
So we have bright people stoutly say the future holds only electronic publishing, OR only print publishing. That one will obsolesce the other.
When engineers create new products we can't be lazy that way. We must look at many factors. Biggies are trade-offs, co-products, and hidden costs.
Or in the case when marketers get hold of a new product: HIDING costs is more accurate. FREE CELL PHONES! (And in fine print: with a 2-your mortgage on your wallet.) Other hidden costs include periodic repairs; our automobiles are a good example.
CO-PRODUCTS are related to hidden costs. We know when we buy a digital camera that we must also buy memory chips, neck or shoulder straps, a carrying case, other stuff. For some products the co-products are where the real profit is. But at the store looking at the mouth-watering displays of glittering technology most of us only see the camera price tag.
TRADE-OFFS are perhaps the biggest consideration. An ereader can hold a thousand books, but how to give or lend a single book is still being worked on. An ereader is fragile, but a book can be tossed into the back seat of a car without out worrying it will smash. Or worrying that a crack-head may take a brick to your car window to steal it.
Every product has advantages and disadvantages. Every benefit has a cost. (It doesn't work the other way around!)
So don't make yourself into a robot, able only to think either/or, black or white. Be a human. Think the big picture.

I don't think it's because people are lazy or a lack of ability to handle complexity. I think it's just habit, and for writers, a fear of doing it wrong and a lot of various bits of advice thrown their way.

I read on my iphone. I'm 43 years old. I bought a kindle. Didn't like it. Too big. I thought I wanted a bigger screen, but I realized I liked the idea of everything on one device. I think I like my iphone more than any other e-book device.
As others have stated though, I don't think all our devices mean the end of books. Recently, my brother's drug habit finally caught up with him and we has landed in jail. Guess what? In the past two weeks, I've bought him over ten of my favorite fantasy and sci-fi paperback books from Amazon (by his request). He says the book trade in jail is huge. It is all hose minimum security guys have left to do (well, and the gym of course).
I think paper books will be around for some time. But don't take my iphone from me!

Edward: it would indeed be interesting to see where the screen technologies go in terms of price. I'm not too familiar with the details, but I imagine as time goes on, those will become less expensive, though I don't know what the equivalent of Moore's Law is for touch screens.
Smartphones also tend to be expensive by themselves. Even if you manage to get the phone itself for free, the talk, text and data will leave you with a $70 a month bill easily. Most companies require a monthly data plan even if you deactivate the data feature on your phone, so free wi-fi isn't much help. I'm not sure what the adoption rate of smartphones is in the U.S., though I suspect it's much smaller than my stomping grounds would leave one to believe. I haven't bought one yet myself due to the complications of buying and owning one, though I do have an old iPod touch I got for my birthday.
General poverty seems like it would be a factor, as you say. I am not familiar enough with internet connectivity statistics to know if it is the cost or availability of those services which has slowed the adoption of ebooks, but your point about libraries, I think, is spot-on. Ebooks may be getting cheaper, but you can check out physical books for free through lending libraries. Contrast with ebooks, where you have to buy them (unless they're a free indie affair) in order to acquire them. I can definitely see how the presence of libraries would affect the decisions of frugal families.

Good post, ansuzmannaz. This is the kind of look-at-all-sides of an issue I was posting about a few messages ago.
But we must keep this in mind: Every person is different. What is awkward or distasteful for some is convenient and pleasant for others. This is why it's almost impossible to find or craft a one-size-fits-all product. This is why there will long be both ebooks and "pbooks" printed on paper.
Further, it's worth repeating that each channel of stories to readers often cooperates as well as competes with the others.
Many examples could cited. For instance, I'll sometimes sample a book on my iPad if I'm at the park or computer if I'm home. Then I'll go to a bookstore to buy a copy - if it's an author and a book I believe I'll re-read many times.
If the author or series is new to me, and available only in hardback, I'll use my iPad or computer to see if the nearest library has it. Then I'll put a hold request on it, or go to the library which has it.
Speaking of tablets and computers, as prices go down more people will do what I do - own BOTH. My iPad has a phone link so I'm not tied to the nearest wifi node. So in the middle of the boonies I can uplink to the Web. At home I'll use the computer. The full-sized keyboard is much more convenient for me, rather than the small 93% size of my iPad.
(I bought the ZAGG case and keyboard you see below. It makes the iPad into a netbook with the size and convenience of a tablet.)

Hello i am writing my first book and i was wanting to know what would be best,i was going to go with E-book but this thread has made me worry.The reason why i was going to go with E-Books was that i am Agoraphobia and i do not think i can handle going to book signing or other things that one must do when you use print.Any ideas or should i just suck it up and go outside or hope it all goes well with E-Books?

No, this is just part of the endless debate about whether e-books will wipe out everything else. In any case, e-books is a vital and workable part of the market that the majority of self-pubs now are using. So given your condition, e-books and Net publicity should work better for you. If you wanted to do paper Print On Demand (POD) paperbacks, though, you could probably also do that and not have to go out and promote physically. However, POD is more expensive to manage than e-books, since sites like Amazon will let you e-book market for nearly nothing.

Adele was the big winner at last year's Grammy Awards. Check out the major award nominees this year.
Black Keys -- The Black Keys are one of several artists nominated for six Grammys, including album and record of the year, and Dan Auerbach is also up for producer of the year.
Frank Ocean -- He made headlines this year as the first openly gay rap/hip-hop artist, but Frank Ocean's six Grammy nominations for his first album, "Channel Orange," show he's a musical force to be reckoned with. Ocean is also up for best new artist.
Fun. -- New to the music scene this year, Fun. is nominated for record of the year for its pop anthem "We Are Young" as well as album of the year and best new artist.
Jack White -- The former White Stripes member scored big with his album "Blunderbuss," which is up for album of the year and best rock album, as well as best rock song for "Freedom at 21."
Jay-Z and Kanye West -- This rap powerhouse grabbed six nominations, both for songs with each other and other artists like Rihanna, Frank Ocean and Young Geezy.
Mumford & Sons -- Another artist with six Grammy nominations, Mumford & Sons are up for album of the year, best rock performance, best rock song, best Americana album and other awards.
Taylor Swift -- A Grammy favorite, Taylor Swift is up for record of the year for her breakup anthem "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and her song from "The Hunger Games" soundtrack, "Safe and Sound."
Kelly Clarkson -- The "American Idol" winner's song "Stronger" is up for record of the year, song of the year and best pop solo performance, while her album of the same name is nominated for best pop vocal album.
Alabama Shakes -- They played their first-ever road gig less than two years ago, and now the Alabama Shakes are up for best new artist, best rock performance and and best recording package.
Gotye -- Another newcomer, Gotye's collaboration with Kimbra "Somebody That I Used To Know" is nominated for record of the year and best pop duo/group performance, while his album "Making Mirrors" is up for best alternative music album.
Hunter Hayes -- This 21-year-old country singer is up for best new artist as well as best country solo performance for his song "Wanted."
The Lumineers -- Another Indie rock sensation gone mainstream, The Lumineers are up for best new artist as well as best Americana album for their self-titled debut.
Grammy Snubs -- "Beliebers" will have to wait another year for heartthrob Justin Bieber to score his first Grammy nomination after the pop sensation was shut out of this year's Grammys -- again.
It was no "Roman" holiday for Nicki Minaj, who came up empty despite the commercial success of this year's "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded."
Another heartbreaker for teen girls, boy band sensation One Direction also received no Grammy nominations this year despite the success of the British quintet's catchy tune "What Makes You Beautiful."

I strung the snip & drip hoses together all over my new yard to keep all my new plantings alive. My clay soil doesnt absorb water fast enough for a sprinkler, and this hose is perfect.

In my impatience to get my garden planted, I used a soaker hose from the hardware store in my first bed. I thought it was fine until I received my Snip 'n Soak kit. Wow! First, I had no trouble assembling the Snip 'n Soak. Second, the attachment points didn't leak. Third, how amazing to customize it to my plants' needs. Fourth was an unexpected BIG plus. A thirsty gopher made a slit in a newly installed hose, so I had a geyser when I turned the water on. All I had to do was snip the slit and fasten the newly created ends together, and hooray! no geyser. It took a maximum of 5 minutes. I LOVE this product!!!

If you have information or perhaps a new business you'd like featured on the website, or maybe an event you'd like to publicise on the Local Events Page, please contact us at and we'll get you on line. We can now upload your original posters if you email them to us (in pdf format please).
Bruton is a small ancient town in South Somerset situated in the Brue Valley. Although there have been many changes, the town retains it's charm and character and is steeped in history. The River Brue flows through the middle and provides a pleasant walk for townspeople and visitors alike. Bruton has many interesting and historical buildings including the medieval Packhorse Bridge, St Mary's Church, Sexey's Hospital and the Dovecote.
Wool was the main industry of the town in the middle ages giving way to the silk industry in the late 18th century. Today the two main industries are farming and education. There are five schools in Bruton: King's School, founded in 1519, Bruton School for Girls, Sexey's School, a Primary School and the Meadow School for Steiner Education.
Bruton has many thriving groups and societies to keep its 3000 residents fully occupied. The annual Festival of Arts, including the Packhorse Fair is a noteworthy attraction as are the Art Show, Horticultural Show and musical and theatrical productions.
Many footpaths weave their way through Bruton and the surrounding countryside, including the Leyland Trail and Macmillan Way, and many walkers use Bruton as a centre. The town has several award-winning restaurants and hostelries and good bed and breakfast facilities.
The Community Office, situated in the High Street, will be happy to provide local tourist leaflets, bus and train timetables and details of local events.

One of the top travel destinations in the world, Florida, is known for its warm temperatures, beautiful beaches, and many attractions. If you're looking for a cheap Florida hotel deal, there are definitely plenty to pick from.
The Orlando area is perhaps the most popular destination in Florida with hundreds of attractions for you and your family to enjoy. Many of the best hotels in Florida are only miles away from Walt Disney World, one of the most successful theme parks in the world. The success of Disney World helps contribute to the growth of many other parks like Universal Studios, Sea World, and Discovery Cove. Many of the cheap hotel deals in Florida include tickets to one or multiple theme parks as part of your stay. Some Florida hotels also include free shuttles to the local parks.
If you want to get closer to the beach, there are plenty of Florida hotel deals that you can take advantage of. There are hundreds of miles of open beaches in Florida just waiting to be enjoyed. Whether you want a posh location like Miami to experience or a more relaxed beach like the one in Destin, you'll find what you're looking for.
When booking Florida hotel packages, you may also be able to take advantage of a special discount to a local restaurant or club. Many of the hotels there work in conjunction with local establishments to help get the word out about their businesses to travelers. When you book rooms at these hotels, you can save a substantial amount of money on food or drinks at these establishments.
The rates at many of the hotels in Florida fluctuate depending on what season you travel in. The spring and summer tend to be considered peak season as well as during Christmas break. Families tend to travel to Disney World during these times, and many hotels will charge slightly higher rates because of it. However, if you make your reservations far enough in advance, the prices may be well within your budget. There are plenty of travel deals and specials out there for you to take advantage of. When you book on Expedia, you can also save money on rental cars, tickets, flights to Florida, and other items that you might need on your trip.

During June and July, eggs of the Five-lined Skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) hatch, producing tiny black and white striped offspring with metallic blue tails. These small lizards are often common in yards, on logs in the forest, and on the sides of trees. When approached, they rapidly disappear into leaf litter or under a log. What we often see is just a blur of blue.
The black and white stripes fade as the skinks get older, and just after they reach sexual maturity, their tails fade to match the brown body coloration. Why are the juveniles so brightly colored in the first place, and why do they lose this coloration?
If you watch a young skink for a while, it will go in and out of leaf liter looking for small insects. When its body goes into the leaf litter, it will move the tail back and forth on the leaf litter. If a bird or other predator has been watching the lizard, the blue tail signals that the skink knows a predator is near and that it likely can escape if attacked. If the bird attacks anyway, it may get the tail but the lizard will escape and grow a new tail. Losing a tail doesn't cost a young skink very much in terms of energy. So this is the answer to the first question. The bright coloration distracts a predator away form the body of the skink to the tail, which can be re-grown if lost.
As these skinks grow and lose their juvenile coloration, they tend to become cryptic. That is, they match the background colors of the forest and are much more difficult to see. They are also more experienced because they are older. Adults store fat in the tail, and that fat is used by males for reproductive related behavior, and by females, to produce eggs. As a result, losing a tail as an adult is expensive energetically and it can affect their ability to reproduce in a given year. They also can grow back their tails if they should lose them, but they might have to skip a year of reproduction. Consequently, the tail in adults is an important fat storage organ, so good reasons exist to not attract attention to it.

The update SQL file(s) are located in a directory that is listed in the manifest file:
<update> <schemas> <schemapath type="mysql">sql/updates</schemapath> </schemas> </update>
There is a file for each component version. Each file name must match the version string in the manifest file for that version. Joomla uses this string to determine which SQL files(s) to execute, and in what order they will be executed. Joomla uses the PHP version_compare function for this. Familiarize yourself with this command. Your version sequence needs to adhere to the conventions of this command. For example, the SQL files for version 3.1 include:
1.0.sql (empty) 1.1.sql UPDATE `#__mytest_mytable` SET myvalue='Version 1.1 text' WHERE id=1; 1.1.1.sql UPDATE `#__mytest_mytable` SET myvalue='Version 1.1.1 text' WHERE id=1; 1.2.sql INSERT INTO `#__mytest_mytable` (id,myvalue) VALUES (2,'Version 1.2 text'); 1.2.1.sql UPDATE `#__mytest_mytable` SET myvalue='Version 1.2.1 text' WHERE id=2; 1.3.sql INSERT INTO `#__mytest_mytable` (id,myvalue) VALUES (3,'Version 1.3 text');
This example has complete install files for component versions 1.0 (initial), 1.1.1 and 1.3. Update SQL files are included for additional incremental component versions (1.1, 1.2 and 1.2.1) between these three versions. These extra versions illustrate the process for updates that span more than one incremental version.
Joomla executes the database updates in the sequence that would occur, as if the user had updated each version separately. This would be necessary if an incremental database update depended on the correct update from the previous version. An example would be: an addition of a table value during one version depended on the insertion of a new table field during the update of the previous version.
Joomla uses the PHP function version_compare to define the execution order of the SQL files. The sequencing of your component version string must adhere to that defined by the version_compare function.

Annual subway ridership of 1.708 billion is now the highest since 1949, and weekday ridership of 5.5 million is the highest since 1950. Weekend subway ridership was 5.8 million and has surpassed the highest ever ridership in 1946. Of note, total annual ridership increased 3.2% from 2012 to 2013, partially due to the five weekdays in 2012 with no service or free fares following Superstorm Sandy. However, even adjusting for Sandy, 2013 ridership increased more than 1.0% over 2012. Average weekday ridership increased 1.6% from 2012, excluding the five weekdays in 2012 with no service or free fares after Sandy. Weekend ridership increased even more at a 2.5% clip.

A typical fantasy setting? What's that??
Just been poking around on one of the other forums here, and noticed a lot of comments along the lines of Robin Hobb's new book is "not your usual fantasy setting." By which, one assumes, they mean mediaeval - castles, swords, horse travel etc. Or possibly Dark Ages King Arthur/Celtic stuff. And, quite frankly, I wonder where the people who posted those comments have been over the last 10 years or so.
If you ask me, very little of today's fantasy is actually set in mediaeval times - neither on a mediaeval Earth, nor on some mediaeval-type alternative earth. And most of it is not Celtic/Dark Ages setting, either. But somehow, some readers have failed to notice! Just look at some of the award winning fantasy of late - Susannah Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Dr Norrell ; Gaimans American Gods; Harry Potter; Mievilles work; Jo Waltons Tooth and Claw; I could on and on. And on.
Even fantasy that superficially seems to be mediaeval in that there is not much sophisticated technology and everyone fights with swords often has very little resemblance to the mediaeval. (Magic often renders the idea of mediaeval concept superfluous anyway is a world like Robert Jordans mediaeval when people can travel around it magically with an ease that makes airlines look slow?) And yet still readers will insist that typical fantasy settings are somehow homogenous. This is not true now, if it ever was.
My Isles of Glory trilogy was quite obviously set in an alternative world at a time that approximates to our 1780-1830. There were scientific expeditions on sailing ships, open ocean navigation by people who knew what they were doing, 19th century type colonialism, the beginnings of modern medicine and democracy and countless other clues to the period. And yet I have had reviewers refer to it as a mediaeval fantasy. Im not sure what book they were reading! Were they so mired in this tired idea that fantasy has to be mediaeval, that they didnt read what was on the page?
These days, fantasy has as many settings as there are fantasy books; some are brilliantly realised, some arent. Some are cliched, some arent. So please, none of this not your typical fantasy setting there ain't no such thing!

I did wonder about that. I believe that when they read the word 'sword' they immediately associate it with kings and queens, castles, a knight and a princess, very superficial things.
I believe it's better to let the writer tell the story and paint the entire world for you, then try to match it to a pre-conceived notion of fantasy and suddenly go, "oooh this is one thats not expected!". To be honest, if it IS of the type that's expected, it's not exactly breaking any moulds or taxing the imagination, and won't be appealing to certain audiences.
PS: Glenda, I think the depth of your work is fantastic. Havenstar has been my favourite for the past four years, and no other has beaten it - and I read a lot of books! You have a gift for introducing a person to a whole new world, new people and concepts, and making every moment believable and enjoyable.
I've read a couple of your other posts and would just like to add:
Favourite heroines of mine (and I'm a woman, so I demand them to be a certain way or I simply won't take to them) are a mix of Keris and Blaze - battling with a certain circumstance they are in, not 'perfect' looking, almost dismissible except that they have a quality of courage and ability, with a mix of spirit and humour and just the right amount of goodness that makes them stand out.

Thank you Elisaria!
That was just what I needed as I struggle with the final stages of my next book...somewhere along the way I always pass through this stage of "nobody loves me", or rather, nobody loves my work, this is **** ...and then I read something like that and I am re-energised. Thanks!!
The new trilogy is set in a Roman-style world - at least no one will think this one is mediaeval! - but I am wondering if I shall get some flak because it deviates in many things from the Roman model. And I hope you like the heroine! Unfortunately, so far, I don't have a UK publisher for it, but the first book comes out in April in Australia.

A fantasy world is a type of imaginary world, part of a fictional universe used in fantasy novels and games. Typical worlds involve magic or magical abilities and often, but not always, either a medieval or futuristic theme. Some worlds may be a parallel world tenuously connected to Earth via magical portals or items; a fictional Earth set in the remote past or future; or an entirely independent world set in another universe.

It's all there. You've seen the movie. Most of us have seen it several times. Some people see it several times in a row during the annual 24-hour airing marathon on cable! So we know the scenes, and it's a lot of fun to see them played out in person at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
Maybe the best-known moment is the triple-dog-dare...put your tongue on the frozen flagpole scene, and there it is. That's Micah Wilborn as a stuck Flick. Jack English is Schwartz (R) looking on. Both boys are a lot of fun in their respective roles.
Yes, there is a Leg Lamp! Here it is with Tom Auclair who plays Raphie's dad, "The Old Man"..the winner of the Major Award! He brings the expected grumpiness to the role but he also creates the likeable "Everydad" the story needs to work this well.
His comic counterbalance is Eryn Carman as Ralphie's mother. She's very funny when she's frustrated with her husband and very sweet to her kids. Eryn will make you laugh.
There's the moment below when Evan Lennon as Ralphie yells, "Fuuuudge"..except (according to the narrator)...it's not really "fudge" he said. That leads naturally into Ralphie's soap-in-mouth moment. In the background below you see little brother Randy. Finn Dufford plays him with just the right mix of whiny and cute. He snorts into his oatmeal bowl, he can't get up when he falls down in his winter weather gear (remember?) and he has a bladder with bad timing. It's all there.
There are the classroom scenes and the theme-writing assignment..with a teacher (Jen Lennon) who absolutely lives for grammar and proper use of margins.
London Lyle and Elizabeth Pond are funny and smart and engaging in their roles as the girls who alternately amuse and annoy the boys in the class.
Not part ot this classroom is the other kid in A Christmas Story...the notorious Scut Farkus! He's the neighborhood bully. Mark Autry brings just the right amount of menace to the role as the tormentor of pre-teens.
Yes, there is the moment when Ralphie explodes and takes out all his frustrations on the unfortunate Farkus. It's all there.
The recurring theme of course is the Red Ryder BB gun. It's all Ralphie wants for Christmas. He plans and plots about how to get it. He daydreams about why he needs it - to protect his family and friends from bad guys and raccoons and Indiana Pythons. We all know Ralphie gets the gun in the end no matter how many people warn him, "You'll shoot your eye out!"
The whole story is woven together by Jason Lythgoe. (right, below) He narrates all the action as the grown-up version of Ralphie.
Under the clever direction of Joye Cook-Levy, he sometimes even wanders in and out of scenes like Thornton Wilder's "Stage Manger" in "Our Town". The difference is that he's the central character of the story and not an anonymous voice. Jason does a fine job of transporting us all back to our own childhoods, when the Christmas presents we got and gave were the focus of the kid world for a few weeks every year.
Full disclosure: Jen Lennon, who plays the teacher Miss Shields, is my sister. Even Lennon, who plays Ralphie, is my nephew.
Jen makes some clever comedic choices, especially during some of Ralphie's daydream scenes..when she goes from astounded paper-grader to wicked witch. Evan has been in several productions at the Fine Arts Center but never before in a role this big. He carries it off beautifully. He is a very experienced and talented performer, at 12!
Yeah, I'm a proud uncle and a proud brother but I would say these two did a great job even if I'd never met them.
The whole cast comes together to make this a really entertaining experience. The show has more kids in it than adults but they're all up to the task. It's not the same as seeing the movie, it's wonderful in its own way...and it's all there.
The sets and costumes and lighting are all top-notch, just as we've come to expect from the Fine Arts Center Theatre Company!
Go see it if you can. It works if you know the movie, and it works if you don't!
We'll talk again soon.

you need to return it to the United States
government. Please keep in mind that as of May 1, 2013 U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will begin a nes system for
issuing I-94. Please see the following link for additional
CBP to roll out new I-94 Arrival/Departure record process for
foreign visitors.
Important: If you lose your
departure record or forget to turn it in when departing the
United States, your file will remain open with USCIS (United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services) and CBP (Customs
and Border Protection). Once you have exceeded the amount of
days you were legally admitted to stay in the United States, you

you may have. If you were to be deported, the cost of obtaining
a return ticket must be paid by the individual..
It is the visitor's responsibility to proof that he or she
departed the United States within the amount of days indicated
he or she was admitted to stay. There are specific procedures to
follow whether you lost or misplaced your
I-94/I-94W departure record while in the United States, or

Vittorio and Marcello Villa are Italian violin makers. In their workshop in Cremona, Italy, they make violins, violas, cellos, bowed baroque instruments
according to Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati's violinmaking style.
Marcello and Vittorio Villa luthiers have also been teachers at IPIALL, the violinmaking school in Cremona.
In the world there are many words that indicate the same job: violin maker, fiddle maker, luthier, geigenbauer, geigenmaker, etc.. The Italian word for luthier is liutaio. Violinmakers from Italy are considered the best in the world. Although many people make violins, only few are actually professional makers of fiddles. Marcello and Vittorio Villa are also well known as makers of inlaid decorated instruments (violini intarsiati).
Have you ever seen a Villa violin, viola or cello? You can find their violins in many important classical music places in the world, sometimes even along with Stradivarius instruments: orchestras, string quartets, music schools and, of course this web site!

Vittorio Villa was born in Monza in 1961. He has a Conservatory Diploma in Violin playing and has performed as a violinist with important Italian orchestras. He graduated in 1992 at the International School of Violin-making in Cremona. Also teacher at the same institute, he furthermore had the opportunity to research the aspects of physical acoustics in the field of bowed instruments. It is due to this background, both as a performer and as a researcher, that Vittorio Villa's instruments are sought after by musicians for their sound quality in addition to their fine workmanship. Vittorio Villa, finalist in several Italian and international violin making competitions, prefers to base his work on the classic Stradivari, Guarneri and Amati patterns and he also builds reproductions of famous antique instruments. He also at times still plays in local chamber ensembles. Baroque-specialised musicians have shown great interest in his period instruments: viola d'amore, viola da gamba, pochette, lira da braccio, baroque violin, baroque viola, baroque cello. (read more inside the web site)
Marcello Villa was born in Monza in 1965. He graduated in 1983 at the International School of Violin-making in Cremona, obtaining the highest possible merit in his final year.
Marcello Villa was awarded in many violin making competitions as you can read in his web pages.
His instruments distinguish themselves for many reasons: beauty and fine acoustics. For many years he has been dedicated to the reproduction of classical Italian instruments. He has made copies of instruments by Andrea Amati, Nicola Amati, Andrea Guarneri, Francesco Ruggeri, Guarneri del Gesů, Antonio Stradivari, all of which have been particularly appreciated in the U.S.A., Germany and Japan.
Baroque-specialised musicians have shown great interest in his period instruments: viola d'amore, viola da gamba, pochette, lira da braccio, baroque violin, baroque viola, baroque cello.
(read more inside the web site)
Both Marcello and Vittorio 's particular passion is reproduction of Stradivari and Amati inlaid instruments, which they believe to be the quintessence of artistic and technical perfection.

Exercising Regularly After Childbirthconcerned about her weight, which was still more than twenty pounds heavier than it had been before having her first baby, now three years old. Ricki asked about exercise, and Samantha smiled and quoted a saying: Oh, I do get the urge sometimes. But I just lie down until it passes! Then she became more serious and added, I just can't find the time. My day is busy from 6 a.m. to 11 at night. Ricki wondered about her husband, and Samantha explained that He jogs from 6 to 6:45 every morning, then showers, bolts down his breakfast, and is out of the house by 7:30. The gears began to turn. You're right, she mused, he makes it a priority. Why don't I?
They talked about how exercise has to be important, or it just won't happen. As a result, Samantha went home and had a long talk with her husband, Ben, and he agreed to take over child care and dinner preparation three nights a week. Samantha began jogging on a treadmill in the bedroom while watching the evening news. Ben enjoyed becoming more than a "microwave chef," and he liked spending more time with their daughter, who stood on top of a stepstool helping him with nightly lettuce tearing and salad tossing. In a year, Samantha lost twenty-two pounds, felt more energetic, and had a sunnier mood.
To motivate yourself, remember that exercise will improve your cardiovascular health, strengthen your immune system, and help prevent obesity and adult-onset diabetes. It brings vitality, energy, and relaxation; lifts depressive feelings; and keeps you trim. Think about your reasons for taking good care of yourself, like wanting to live a long and healthy life. None of us really "finds" time for self-care and exercise. We make time for these crucial activities because they are essential to our well-being and health.
You probably already have an idea of what kind of exercise you'd do if you only had the time. And if not, you can get loads of information about exercise in the books or videos listed below, or from personal trainers in your gym or health club. If you've recently had a baby, your OB/GYN can make recommendations about safe and gentle exercises to strengthen stretched-out abdominal muscles or tighten up the pelvic floor; of course, if you have any orthopedic or anatomic problems that Interfere with exercise, please consult your doctor or physical therapist for specific suggestions. The real issue is how to shoehorn exercise into a day that's already crowded with work and family. That's our focus here, as we look at ways to fit fitness into everyday life with children.
Resources for Exercise
- Strollercize: The Workout for New Mothers by Elizabeth Trindade and Victoria Shaw
- Kinergetics: Dancing with Your Baby for Bonding and Better Health for Both of You by Sue Doherty
- Strong Women Stay Young by Miriam Nelson (www.strongwomen.com)
- Real Fitness for Real Women: A Unique Work-Out Program for the Plus-size Woman by Rochelle Rice
Getting Started
If you are just starting to exercise, take heart. It feels great simply to begin, to know that yes, you are really doing something wonderful for yourself. Set realistic goals that you know you can consistently attain, and perhaps write them down so you can see them every day and stay on track with your own care amidst attention-grabbing infant and child care. You can keep boredom at bay by doing a variety of things, like taking a brisk walk in the early morning on Monday while your husband handles the kids and breakfast, stopping at the gym on Tuesday and Thursday after work, and then going on a long bike ride with a friend over the weekend.
If you have a regular exercise partner, you can help each other stay motivated, and when she shows up at the front door, it'll be easier to extricate yourself from your housework or family. And if your resolve starts to sag, take a look at a picture of yourself as a child; she is precious and beautiful, and seeing her sweet face can help sustain your positive self-loving energy. Once you build up momentum after a few weeks, it will feel odd not to exercise, and every step you take on your own behalf - whether baby-sized or big ones - will make you feel better and better.
If you haven't exercised for a few months or more, take it easy when you start up again. The old adage "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" certainly applies to overzealous plunges into exercise. And if your body has become at all depleted, your muscles and connective tissue could be prone to strain, since they may have low levels of the minerals that keep them supple and resilient. So before you dive into a major program, we suggest you take a few days first to do ten to twenty minutes a day of gentle yoga or stretching. And try to do some stretches at the start of any workout; stiff muscles are like sleeping children: they need encouragement and a little time to wake up!

There is difference between truck and train, no? Fucking yes. Different transport ways call for different paradigms.
On modern hardware, the network transparent Xorg is inefficient, because no one has supermachine with 1000 thin graphical terminals at home anymore. These "features" are not used, but are required for graphical throughput, resulting in excessive complexity, loss of performance and degraded coding/debugging transparency.
Xorg is in no freaking way is going to be abadoned or broken.
The road map is either to finish Wayland and then implement Wayland over network or rewrite Xorg from scratch specifically to match needs of datacenters with multiple thin clients to "as needed" degree.
They got criticized only because they have listed many Wayland shortcommings that are false statements because they actually do not know Wayland. That was cleared by them.
Which resulted in another criticism vector, they rewrite simply because they want full control over it even though they have not been hindered to change and upstream anything they change, which is always seen as stupid thing to do.
Are we clear now?
That was the year of Linux desktop for me, because I booted into it and never booted back into windows since then. Never.
I also were not talking about "something completely different". So suggestion - how about you shut up?
No, I haven't heard of Linux dependency hell, but I know about DLL hell and newer version WinSUCKS (WinSxS) which grows beyond 100GiB very rapidly due to each application being installed with own dynamic libraries in seperate containers.
Also, you once more point out you should shut the fuck up because amount of updates one gets depends solely on software choice and distribution policy - whether its rapidly updating or not; whether its bleeding edge or stable.
If you join microshaft developer channel, you winblows beta is updated no less frequent as for example, debian sid. But one difference again - one can PIN the packages and prevent any updates without breaking anything.
I am a turd cleaner and you are wiped once again.

Brandon Laganiere, 13, of Rochester runs the Penny Sale during the Christmas Keepsake Fair at Rochester Manor on Saturday.
ROCHESTER — The holiday spirits were certainly rejuvenated for the 37th annual Christmas Keepsake Fair held on Saturday at the Rochester Manor.According to Resident Family Services Assistant Donna Dynen, the rehabilitative and skilled care center had the community lined up before the fair had even opened."The community always comes out," Dynen said. "They were out here before nine even though we weren't open yet."The popular fair drew large crowds despite the fact the building is undergoing construction. "Everyone came even with all the renovations," Dynen said.Linda Gill, of Somersworth, said she supports holiday fairs especially the keepsake fair because it supports an organization in need."I enjoy the Christmas fairs," Gill said. "There's always something different. I'd rather get something from a Christmas fair than a shopping mall. It's not the hustle and bustle and it's for a good cause."The money raised from the keepsake fair will go toward the resident activity and outing fund, which gives them trips to locations like Mt. Washington. Sharon Proux, a Rochester Manor Social Service worker, was selling baked goods including pies, cookies, pumpkin rolls and different types of flavored bread."It benefits the residents," Proulx said. "It's our big fundraiser for the year."Some of the activities at the fair included a prize raffle, a penny sale, an hourly turkey raffle, a white elephant and punch boards, which drew a lot of attention throughout the day."It's been a steady flow all day," Proux added. "People coming in know it's going to be different. You just know it's going to be nice."Outside the Rochester Manor the white elephant was held by Case Manager Jenn Manning. Manning said the beautiful weather increased the interest from the community. "Some people you see year after year," Manning said. "I think it kicks off the holiday season, which is nice."Gill agreed the fair helps bring the notion of giving back during the holidays."Sometimes we're lacking in holiday spirit," Gill said. "But, this is a great way of fixing that. It's rehabilitating your sense of Thanksgiving. It facilitates us to be a better person."

Groupon provides an opportunity to review Groupon Inc's S1 filing made prior to an IPO. Groupon's financial statements attracted a great deal of controversy due to revenue recognition policies that produced very substantially higher revenues for the corporation, as well as non GAAP earnings measures, especially ACSOI, an invention of the firm that served to exclude certain marketing expenses from the calculation of profit. Since marketing expenses were a very material expense for Groupon at a stage at which it was building its business the effect of the use of ACSOI was as substantial as the effect of aggressive revenue recognition policies. Groupon backed down on both revenue recognition and the use of ACSOI following SEC queries as to the corporation's accounting policies.
learning objective:
The case can be used at a relatively early stage to illustrate the potentially profound effect of revenue recognition policies and the potentially incomplete picture provided by non-GAAP earnings measures. The case features real published financial statement data as well as SEC letters related to the agency's investigation of Groupon's accounting practices. Groupon is a well known and highly publicised firm, and many students will have used 'Groupons' and participated in the corporation's promotions. The case provides an opportunity for students to address complex and practice oriented financial accounting matters in the context of a company with which they are familiar and which they find to be appealing. The case presents these issues with rich institutional detail and actual public documents as a means of grounding case discussion.
subjects covered:
Accounting; Finance; Financial performance measurement; General management; Revenue recognition; Strategy
