NOTE: SOLO LITE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A NEW APP, SOLO AIR. Solo Air still contains all the original features from Solo, and a few more (like support for smart watches, improved UI, etc.) It is geared towards more modern devices, so if you have a relatively new device, download Solo Air instead.
This is a free demo version and includes:
* Great, authentic sounding acoustic guitar
* The same huge chord library available in the full version, with chord diagrams
* Hear and see how each chord is played.
* Strumming playing style, or pinger picking on a fret board supported
* Play with a capo to fit your vocal range
* Create and load custom chord layouts
* Uses Immersion's MOTIV haptic effects for advanced haptic feedback
* Many settings to customize to your playing style
Also available in the full version, or in this app through in-app purchases:
* Classical guitar, 12 string guitar and electric guitars, each with authentic sound
* Create your own chords
* Play along to any music loaded on your phone
* Get chord and lyric overlays from the web - excellent for teaching yourself new songs to play
* Create, load and save chord layouts for your favourite songs
* Customize the UI to fit your playing style
* Record and export what you play to save ideas for later use
Solo Lite is a freemium app, that is ad supported and it uses in app purchases to obtain full version features. (Don't hate me, even developers have to make a living :). For this, the app requires a few extra permissions (these are in the Lite version only, the full version has no ads or extra permissions). Below is a description of how these permissions are used:
Required permissions for Solo Lite and the full version:
INTERNET ACCESS - Used for downloading lyric overlays, syncing purchased features, in-app billing and ads
VIEW NETWORK STATE - Solo checks if internet connection is up and enables/disables online features as appropriate
STORAGE - Used to backup/restore chords on the SD Card
Permissions only required in Solo Lite. These are not used in the full version:
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY - Only used to access the device ID. Solo does NOT access phone calls, etc. only the device ID (needed to uniquely identify the device and sync previously upgraded features)
The "Read phone state and identity" permission doesn't give devs access to passwords or other personal identity information. The only id obtained from this is the phone's IMEI number, which is a unique serial number tied to every device with a sim card. Knowing this number does not give devs access to any personal information, it only provides a way for us to reliably distinguish between different devices.
GET_ACCOUNTS - This is used by GetJar to identify users across multiple devices. This way, features upgraded through GetJar will still be available if you change your phone and reinstall the app on a new device. It is also used by in app billing to link purchases with your email account.
GET_TASKS - Used by the GetJar SDK. Not used any longer, but retained to support users who previsouly upgraded features via GetJar.
BILLING - Used for in-app purchases through Google Play and Samsung
COARSE LOCATION - Approximate network based location only. Used to serve more useful ads.
SYSTEM WINDOW - Used to show an ad on exit instead of on start-up. This makes the app start faster.

Guitar Songs
How often do you have a situation when you are at a party and you want to play the guitar for your friends? And at this moment, we always forget how to play our favorite songs. If you want to have a perfect concert, it is very important for the guitarist to be able to play and sing a song at the same time. Furthermore, it would be awesome if everyone around you could sing together! Especially for you we developed an unique application - handy songbook with chords for guitar. In our application, you will find everything you need for a musician, a party or a friendly company! We made a research and found out that for the real musician it is not enough just to have a list of chords and lyrics - a true musician should also not be distracted from the music if he wants to create a real masterpiece. And that is why we made our application convenient and maximum helpful!
Key features of our application:
* Large database of songs, lyrics and chords
* Opportunity to rate your favorite songs
* Ability to add songs to favorites
* Ability to change themes
* Ability to transpose chords (change the key of songs)
* Lyrics auto scrolling
* Ability to import your own songs
* No Internet connection required (you need Internet connection to download new songs only)
And hundreds of little things that make you concentrate not on your phone but on playing the music!
Guitar chords and tabs
hundreds of artists.
App includes:
- Оffline access to favorite tabs
- Autoscroll
- Chord diagrams with multiple variations
- History browsed songs
- Left-handed mode
- Sharing
If you have any questions or problem with this app, please do not hesitate to contact me.

For my first Airbnb experience it was excellent. Starting with the warmest of welcome, nothing was too much trouble and falling ill the day after arrival, something I expected it would be a challenge for most hosts, I quickly learned the local names of otherwise well known medication I got offered as remedies. That's not to take away from the fantastic homely feel of the house either. I think the bed was fit for a princess!
The reservation was canceled 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
I had a very enjoyable stay in January 2014. The room was very comfortable and the welcome was very warm! The area around the flat is safe and friendly and only 5 minutes' walk to the nearest underground train 'T' station. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!
First time using Airbnb. The apartment is clean, beautiful, convenient to get to everything, and Caroline the owner is absolutely lovely. I highly recommend staying here!
Caroline and Jake were excellent hosts. Very kind and accommodating. It was a snowy day and they were considerate enough to send a few text messages beforehand about parking conditions before I arrived. They're also interesting science-savvy people working on interesting things.
I had a fantastic stay here, Caroline and Jake are great hosts that are very nice and accommodating and I wish them all the best. The surrounding area was nice and had plenty of interesting restaurants and pubs to visit during my stay, and is also a short walk to the Red T, and Kendall square which was quite convenient. I would highly recommend them to any potential guests.
Caroline's place is very well located in Cambridge, near MIT and very good restaurants. Everything was cozy and clean. And Caroline provides tea, coffee, and cereals, which makes your mornings easier to start when you have an early event to attend!
Next time, I'll choose this place again. I like this place very much. Clean, cosy and comfortable with a very good location in Cambridge. The only inconvenience for some people could be sharing this apt with the landlords, but they are really very nice, helpful and generous.
The place was great - bed was comfy and toilet was clean. Location is in a safe and nice neighbourhood within walking distance of Kendall station. Will highly recommend it to anyone visiting Boston!
Caroline was a great host. The place is clean and exactly the way it was described. I would recommend the place to anyone who wishes to visit Cambridge.
Caroline and Jake are a lovely young couple that came to Silicon Valley for work. They were quiet in the evenings and tidy. Good luck on your ventures!
Caroline's husband, Jake, stayed here. He was a delightful and respectful guest. We enjoyed chatting with him. We'd be glad to have him here again.
It was an honor to host Caroline and Jake as they celebrated their second wedding anniversary. They were respectful and appreciative of every little detail we provided for their stay. We enjoyed learning about them through morning conversations and were impressed with their intelligence and generosity of spirit. We hope they'll return for another visit.

I can't complain. They finally did what I did to my SA over 35 years ago. But their pricing is cheaper than what I ended paying.

Nice gun if you can find one!
Picked mine up 3 weeks ago. Super accurate, very tight. I probably paid too much at my lgs but I would rather support them and be able to see what I am getting.
This is the most enjoyable gun i have ever shot.
$830 out the door fwiw.. You won't regret the purchase.
They are great guns for the money at 750 or so. Target sights leave me cold but it is built for competition or range use. Built in the USA and the fit and finish is better than the Brazil guns. Most have a tight frame to slide fit and a tight barrel bushing fit. Enjoy the gun if you can find one. 2" at 25 yds is not out of the question if you can shoot. Not a LB or EB but a nice gun.
Thanx guys....G.A.T. Guns in Dundee, Illinois has one....I'm gonna put a down payment on it tomorrow. jd45
Gat also has the RO as a range rental if you want to try it out first.

And yet, our criminal justice system has failed on every count: public safety, fairness and cost-effectiveness. Across the country, the criminal justice reform conversation is heating up. Each week, we feature our some of the most exciting and relevant news in overincarceration discourse that we've spotted from the previous week. Check back weekly for our top picks.
New ACLU Report on Dangers of Private Prisons
This week, the ACLU National Prison Project released Banking on Bondage: Private Prisons and Mass Incarceration, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the destructive impact of prison privatization. As the report underscores, now is the time for serious criminal justice reform, not privatization schemes.
Senate Drops the Ball on Crime Commission Amendment
Despite our efforts, the Senate failed to adopt (by 3 votes) an important amendment last month that would have created a bipartisan commission to study our criminal justice system and suggest reforms. On Tuesday, Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) issued a harsh recrimination of Senate Republicans for this failure. This piece in the Atlantic highlights the ACLU's support of the proposal, and you can read Senator Webb's statement here. Read ACLU Legislative Counsel Jennifer Bellamy's blog about the amendment.
Retroactive Reduction in Sentencing Disparities
Years of ACLU advocacy to eliminate the crack-cocaine sentencing disparity paid off last year with the passage of the federal Fair Sentencing Act. Retroactive application of the new guidelines began this week, and now ACLU client Hamedah Hasan and more than 12,000 others unfairly sentenced under the old guidelines will have the opportunity to have their sentences for crack cocaine offenses reviewed by a federal judge and possibly reduced. Listen to ACLU Senior Legislative Counsel Jesselyn McCurdy discuss the story in this NPR piece, which aired this week.
Fighting Mandatory Drug Testing
The ACLU has been leading the charge to challenge a disturbing national trend: mandatory drug testing of public college students and the poor. The ACLU's Criminal Law Reform Project and ACLU of Eastern Missouri filed suit in Missouri to arguing that Linn State Technical College's drug testing of all students violated the Fourth Amendment. Taking swift action, a federal district court judge granted a preliminary injunction to temporarily halt the unconstitutional policy. Read this blog post about the victory, and this story from the AP. The ACLU of Florida filed suit challenging the state's forced drug testing of applicants for temporary cash assistance (TANF). Last week, a judge in Florida has halted enforcement of this unconstitutional policy. Read ACLU of Florida's Maria Kayanan's blog post about the victory and the press release. Read Rachel Bloom's blog post about the drug testing trend and further coverage in the New York Times.

Top Zoos and Aquariums in the United States
Scientists estimate that there are eight to nine million species on Earth. Ranging in size and weight, and existing in an array of forms across the planet, zoos and aquariums provide a convenient opportunity to visit many of these species in their naturalistic habitats. Make sure to visit some of our favorites next time you're in the area!
Bronx Zoo (New York City, NY)
The Bronx Zoo challenges you to find your inner animal while exploring its 265 acres of exhibits and attractions. Test your balance by standing on one leg like a flamingo or see if you can jump as high as a tiger can by following the zoo's Animal Activity Trail, which teaches you how to move like an animal. When you need a break from practicing your balancing, jumping or crawling skills, take a ride on a camel and enjoy New York City's most unique form of transit. If you're there just to see the animals, plan on spending at least two hours and make sure to check out the most popular exhibits, like Tiger Mountain, Himalayan Highlands, Congo Gorilla Forest, and World of Reptiles.
New England Aquarium (Boston, MA)Before even entering the New England Aquarium, whet your appetite for marine life by visiting the 42,000-gallon harbor seal tank to the left of the entrance. The exhibit is exposed to the ever-changing New England weather, and here you can watch the seals swim, play and sleep in a naturalistic habitat. Once inside, say hello to penguins, turtles, seadragons and many other aquatic creatures. View an IMAX film, or embark on a whale watch to see whales, dolphins, sea birds and other marine life in their habitat - the Atlantic Ocean. You will receive a hand-stamp upon entering the Aquarium, which allows you to leave and return to the aquarium at any time that day so you don't miss anything.
Monterey Bay Aquarium (Monterey, CA)
Psych yourself up for your visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium by watching any of their six live web cams set up to show penguins and sea otters, open-ocean animals, like sharks and tunas, as well as the calm of Monterey Bay. When you arrive, don't miss out on seeing the world's largest octopus and the world's smallest squid shown in one of their dozen live exhibits of octopuses and their kin. To avoid the crowds, try to visit in the fall and winter months or plan to arrive between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. during the middle of the week.
Smithsonian National Zoological Park (Washington, D.C.)
If you really want to feel like you are amidst the animals, visit the "O Line" at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. Here, you will find orangutans swinging hand over hand from branch to branch or shuffling along cables traveling with total freedom of movement between their choice of location - right above your head! After traveling through the O Line, make sure to visit the rarest animal in the world, the giant panda, in its state-of-the-art panda habitat designed to mimic its natural habitat in China. Expect long lines when going to see the pandas, and make sure to smile for the camera since the public viewing area is also recorded on the live Panda Webcam. The best part about this zoo: the Smithsonian National Zoological Park is free to visit.
Saint Louis Zoo (St. Louis, MO)
If you like sea lions then you will love the Saint Louis Zoo, which offers a magnificent 1.5 acre exhibit called Sea Lion Sound right in the heart of the zoo. It is the first in North America to offer visitors the experience of walking through an underwater tunnel right into the sea lions' habitat as the animals swim all around them. Next, take a ride on the Emerson Zooline Railroad to quickly cover some of the remaining exhibits shown on this 1.5 mile narrated ride. Hop on and off the train when a particular exhibit piques your interest. Although admission to the zoo is free, there are fees for many of the attractions and buying a Safari Pass will give you full access to all of the amenities - including the Zooline Railroad.
Mystic Aquarium (Mystic, CT)
With many opportunities to get hands on with the aquatic life, the Mystic Aquarium is the place to be to see and actually feel a variety of marine creatures. Stroke a white-spotted bamboo shark, or let a sting ray glide alongside your hand in the touch pool, and feel the skin and scales of alligators and snakes in the Scales and Tails exhibit. The Mystic Aquarium is also home to the only beluga whale in New England where it swims in a one acre glacial habitat consisting of several interconnected pools, 20-foot-long underwater windows and more than 750,000 gallons of water.
Lincoln Park Zoo (Chicago, IL)
Open 365 days a year and free to all visitors, the Lincoln Park Zoo is a lush oasis for animal lovers visiting and living in Chicago. The park is nestled amidst skyscrapers and apartment buildings, and it spans 35 acres of prime city real estate. The zoo grew out of a gift of two swans from the Central Park's Board of Commissioners in New York City, and has expanded to include a range of 1,100 animals from more than 200 different species.
San Diego Zoo (San Diego, CA)
Over 3,700 rare and endangered animals call the San Diego Zoo home, and the animal population there represents more than 650 species and subspecies. With naturalistic habitats that range from lush terrain to jungles to arctic settings, the zoo sits on 100 acres of land. Here you will find endangered animals, such as the Giant Panda and Malayan Tiger, and you can watch them in person or via the zoos many live web cams. If you're worried about crowds, or want to see what the animals do outside of the zoo's standard hours, register for a Twilight Trek or Sunrise Surprise Stroll for a glimpse into the nocturnal animals' lives and early risers' habits. While most animals can only be viewed at a safe distance, some are available to get up close and personal with in the Petting Paddock.

Featured - the exciting family of boats from Devoti Sailing
Devoti D-Zero
Devoti Finn
Devoti D-One
Devoti D-Rooster Optimist
With more than 1400 Devoti Finns built to date, including all of the Olympic medal winning Finns since 1996, Devoti Sailing decided that it was time to go for a ground up new design, now known as the D-Fantastica Finn. Using the latest in design technology the D-Fantastica Finn is the most optimised Finn ever built. The design team had to focus on the complexities presented by the Finn dynamics and having tapped into Luca Devoti's vast technical knowledge they used CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modelling with a degree of flexibility. The result is the most advanced design of Finn. Tests to date across the wind range and different sea states have proven to be very positive.
With an excellent order book for the D-Fantastica Finn, it's clear that the Finn market has the confidence in Devoti's ability to come up with a new and highly competitive design. Of course the Classic Devoti Finn is much in demand alongside the new model.
Launched at the London Dinghy Show in 2014 this exciting, 21C, lightweight, single hander has gone from strength to strength with established fleets across the UK and Europe. Based on Dan Holman's concept beach boat, the D-Zero is a thoroughbred racing dinghy but with the space, stability and ruggedness for use as a beach boat. The D-Zero owes its fine racing pedigree to the modern design from Dan and further development to the boat and rig from Devoti Sailing, North OD and Compotech (spars), all of whom have unrivaled experience in dinghies with unstayed rigs.
With a busy program planned for 2015 you can expect to see D-Zeros competing in open meetings across the country and mainland Europe with Lake Garda also on the list.
6 years on and the Devoti D-One hiking, asymmetric single hander has come of age. The D-One goes from strength to strength as sailors recognise the exceptional sailing qualities of the boat including many world and national champions. For those who like to travel, there is an exciting international regatta program!
The Devoti D-One is an exhilarating and rewarding single-hander that provides close tactical racing upwind, combined with the fun of asymmetric performance.
The D-one is built using carbon foam construction in CNC moulds, giving a stiff light hull. The carbon mast, boom and bow sprit from Compotech provide excellent quality throughout.
Upwind the Devoti-one is powered by a large 11.5 sq.m. fully battened main sail that has enough power to be hiking early but easy to keep control when it gets fresher. Downwind, using the 13.2 sq.m. gennaker, the boat is stable and easily driven with plenty of power to the highly manoeuvrable and lightweight hull. A small rig is also available for lighter sailors.
Rooster, Devoti and Suntouched have joined forces to offer you the D-Rooster Optimist, only available from Rooster Sailing.
The chance for Optimist sailors to get a boat from the stable of Olympic Gold winning Finns. The Devoti Optimist is perfectly balanced offering race winning performance in all conditions.
Pictured above, the new Devoti Optimist from the builders of all Olympic Medal winning Finns since 1996. The Devoti Optimist has been designed with the same high levels of tolerences and detail as the Devoti Finn with no compromises. As you would expect, the build quality is second to none with attention to strength, performance and finish matching Devoti's high standards.
All of this for a highly competitive Optimist at realistic prices.
Rooster are also looking for an Optimist addition to Team Rooster for the 2015 sailing season. Find out more by clicking
In line with our Demo D-Zero renewal policies we have a limited number of ex demo boats available priced from only £ 4,995.00 including launching trolley, carbon tiller extension and all covers, giving a saving for the whole package of up to £ 2,000.00

Could immigration bill set off another backlash? Group says bill will cost $6.3 trillion
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — As a Senate committee prepares to begin voting this week on far-reaching immigration legislation, advocates are watching warily to see whether relatively tame opposition balloons into the kind of fierce resistance that killed Congress' last attempt to overhaul the system.
Last time around, in 2007, angry calls overwhelmed the Senate switchboard and lawmakers endured raging town hall meetings and threats from incensed constituents. The legislation ultimately collapsed on the Senate floor.
"I've been through this battle, and it's ugly," said former Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., who supported the bill. "My phones were jammed for three weeks and I got three death threats, one of which I turned over to the FBI. So it's rough business."
Supporters of the immigration bill brought forward last month by a group of four Republican and four Democratic senators have been cautiously optimistic about their prospects because of factors including public support for giving citizenship to immigrants, a large and diverse coalition in support of the bill, and a growing sentiment among Republican leaders that immigration must be dealt with if they are to regain the backing of Hispanic voters.
Backers have been working hard to build alliances and strategies aimed at avoiding the mistakes of 2007, when critics largely defined the bill and some supporters ended up turning against it.
Opponents acknowledge that supporters started out better organized and mobilized than last time around, and they also anticipate that outside groups pushing the legislation — including efforts headed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg — will outspend them. Supporters include large and influential groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, AFL-CIO and the Catholic Church, while opponents include lesser-known think tanks or advocacy organizations such as NumbersUSA, the Federation for American Immigration Reform and the Center for Immigration Studies. Both sides have already begun running ads.
But critics also have important grass-roots influence, including from talk radio hosts who were instrumental in defeating the bill in 2007, and opponents argue that as the public absorbs the content of the legislation, the tide will turn against it. They say that there are already signs that it's happening. Although conservative commentators on Fox News Channel and elsewhere have been more muted so far than in 2007, some talk radio hosts including Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh have begun to voice deep unease about the bill despite the efforts of its conservative standard bearer, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., to sell the legislation to them and other conservative opinion leaders.
"The supporters promoted the bill aggressively before anybody saw the language, and certain Republicans and conservative voices sort of held their fire, but that's beginning to change," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., who was a leading voice in the Senate against the bill in 2007 and is reprising that role this time around, making floor speeches, issuing press releases and holding briefing calls with reporters to argue that the bill would unlock a much larger volume of immigration into the U.S. than advertised, to the detriment of U.S. workers and jobs.
"It's going to be like that mackerel in the sunshine — the longer it's out there the worse it smells," Sessions said.
The bill would aim to boost border security, fix legal immigration and worker programs, require all employers to check their workers' legal status and offer eventual citizenship to the estimated 11 million immigrants already living in the country illegally.
Joyce Kaufman, a host on a Florida radio station, WFTL, said that opposition to the bill was soft at first but grows daily.
"Yes, we believe this is amnesty," Kaufman said. "Citizen activists are outraged."

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Make wise use of that valuable tax refund
MANY of the Canadians who file their tax returns by next Tuesday will be receiving refunds. Many have received them already.
As a financial adviser, this always disturbs me slightly. Those people have provided an interest- free loan to the government since the money was either withheld from their regular paycheques, through other withholdings, or sent to the government as quarterly instalments.
Related Items
In theory, that money could have been used more profitably by the taxpayer through the year. If the person owes money on credit cards or consumer loans, those tax withholdings might have been reduced and those tax dollars used to save interest costs, if it is clear a refund is going to be produced. But the practical adviser in me knows many people prefer a refund to a balance owing, and the extra income tax withholdings really act as a forced savings plan, accumulating money that would likely be squandered if only received in small amounts through the year.
So, today's column has two purposes — to encourage you to make the very best use of any refund you are receiving, and to also consider how you might improve your financial situation more by keeping your chips on your side of the table longer, by putting them to work for you throughout the year.
Let's talk about that refund.
The first priority should be any high-interest debts, such as outstanding credit card balances. Interest rates of 18 per cent or higher are still not unusual for credit cards, even in today's low-interest-rate environment. Paying that much non-deductible interest is senseless, so these debts have to be attacked first, either with the tax refund or any other source of extra cash. Make such debts your first priority.
The next choice is likely any debts that are charging interest well above the expected rate of return on investments. By this, I mean loans at six to eight per cent or higher. (As part of this analysis process, of course, also look for ways to renegotiate those high-interest-rate debts or credit cards into a low-interest line of credit.) When you get to debts that are manageable and have interest rates close to prime, or mortgages in the range of three per cent or four per cent, the alternatives such as RRSP contributions become very attractive.
Using your tax refund for an RRSP is an awesome idea, depending on your income tax rate. If your taxable income is $45,000 or higher, then your marginal tax rate will be 35 per cent or higher.
This means each $1,000 contributed to an RRSP will save you $300 or more in taxes when you file next year's tax return, and you will have the entire contribution amount invested and earning toward your retirement.
If you have kids, another way to get more money back from the government is to make a contribution to an RESP, a registered education savings plan. The first $2,500 per year contributed per eligible child will result in a 20 per cent government grant, deposited into the RESP and added to the money growing for future education expenses.
For people whose finances are in great shape and the tax refund is really a bonus, then definitely consider using some of it for a splurge, like next year's winter vacation. (But you probably already thought of that, if you are that well-organized.) Now, let's look at how you can accomplish those strategies more effectively — and sooner — by paying the feds less money throughout the year.
If you're paying quarterly tax instalments, you can pay less than requested. However, this runs a risk, because if you end up miscalculating and owing tax at filing time next year, you will pay both interest and penalties. This is not worth it, so only underpay your instalments if you know you will have a refund by paying them. This could happen if you have had an unusually high-income year, resulting in a request for instalments that is not accurately based on the current year's income.
With paycheque withholdings, you can file a CRA form T1213, Request for Reduction of Withholdings at Source. On this, you provide your expected income and deductions, which could be for RRSP or pension contributions, employment expenses, alimony or deductible interest on investment loans, among other things.
If the CRA agrees you qualify for smaller tax withholding amounts, they will authorize your payroll officer to reduce these.

"Brilliant . . . recalls Tom Wolfe's best-selling The Bonfire of the Vanities, but this is a far darker story and a far more interesting one. Harrison's Big Apple is rotten to the core."--The Washington Post
"Brutally effective . . . Harrison spins a fast-paced NYC crime novel. . . . Start reading this book and prepare to cancel all other plans for the next seven hours or so."--Entertainment Weekly (Grade: A)
"Harrison writes like Rambo on meth and throws in enough black humor to prove he's more brains than
brawn. . . . The Finder's a keeper."--USA Today
"Colin Harrison's New York is an eye-for-an-eye, dog-eat-dog Darwinian world with similar map coordinates to Tom Wolfe's Manhattan and the Los Angeles of Raymond Chandler and James Ellroy. . . . A chilling, high-speed roller coaster of a ride that doubles as a sardonic sightseeing tour of the seamier side of New York City." --The New York Times
"A satisfying thriller canvassing and connecting New York's hedge-fund billionaires with illegal immigrants scraping by on menial labor."--The Christian Science Monitor
"Some of the best writing being done today . . . Harrison displays a depth of reportorial knowledge to awe Tom Wolfe. . . . Perhaps the equal of Richard Price."--Sun-Sentinel (South Florida)
"Colin Harrison writes shrewd thrillers that probe the far reaches of New York society. . . . An uncommonly astute writer."--The Seattle Times

Engine change for Massa
|By Jonathan Noble
|Sunday, March 18th 2007, 00:11 GMT
Felipe Massa will have his engine changed before the start of the Australian Grand Prix following his technical woes in qualifying.
The Brazilian suffered a gearbox problem in Q2, after an electronic glitch wrecked seventh gear, and was supposed to line up 16th on the grid.
Starting so far back, the team have little to lose by changing Massa's power unit and work began on the swap on Sunday morning after the cars were released from parc ferme.
Massa will suffer a 10-place penalty for the change, which will put him at the back of the grid, but Ferrari may opt for him to start from the pitlane. This would minimise the risk of him getting caught up in any accident at the notorious first corner.
Ferrari are understood to have got to the bottom of the electronic problem that Massa suffered from on Saturday and have made changes that should ensure no repeat for him or teammate Kimi Raikkonen in the race.

Elf on a shelf
Alas no pets yet, but here is our Elf on a Shelf. The large pullout drawers are finally done and the Elf has found them too cool to play in. There are shelves to the left of the drawers allowing one to climb onto the shelf and then into the next drawer.
This makes me think of the Seinfeld where Cramer was renting out his drawer space for Japanese business men to sleep in. Maybe that's what I left out of my new kitchen-- child storage!
What a great picture and looks like fun
As a kid- I have a vague recollection of sliding through a wall opening between 2 bathrooms on 2 different floors in a split level while DP were finishing up building the house.
I am not sure DM would have thought it cute but your picture brings back fun mories.
I think your elf must have some cat genes!
Enjoy but be safe
The drawers are huge at 27"x40"! Thankfully the Elf listens and understands no sudden movements / jumping. But the drawers are solid and the glides are rated for something like 350lbs under dynamic load! The glides and the drawer weigh more than the elf :). Hadn't realized when we building the pantry it was going to be such a fun place to play :)
You may need to remind the elves in your house that they will grow. My elves used to like to crawl into my panty which is just a space over the basement stairs and does not go to the floor. My 20 yo (over 6') on occasion will attempt to crawl in there, just for fun (eyes rolling).

Vulkan the Krusader - Sweetest Perfection
Artist: Vulkan the Krusader
Featuring: Aaron Cohen
Producer: DJ Buttamilk
Album: V
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 3 votes )
Most artists spend hours upon hours honing their craft, attempting to make each song perfect. However, for emcee Vulkan The Krusader, being perfect just won't cut it; when it comes to his work, he needs to have the Sweetest Perfection. Joining the Brooklyn emcee in his quest for ultimate excellence are a plethora of rapping buddies: Black Zheep DZ, Spaceman, and Aaron Cohen. Atop the boisterous DJ Buttamilk board work, each emcee shares a slower, demonstrative flow feeding nicely off of the momentum from the previous emcee. Did Vulkan achieve perfection in your

Opening Transformers Movie thread and moving all posts there.
I saw Tranformers G1 (Generation 1) when I was younger. Seeing the movie is a whole different thing than the first Tranformers.

Just kidding...
Still, I can't put into words just how suprised I am it's not in American cinemas yet!!! I mean, come on!!! It's America!! The movies set in America!!
Oh no, wasn't this listed as one of the signs of the Apocalypse?!?!? America not getting first dibs on a movie set there?!?!?
Its a very good movie! I saw it today the line wasn't too bad. It had lots of neat robots and I also liked the cars they transformed into. If your thinking about taking little kids to see this think again! Its not for kids! The robots can scare them.:laugh: Has anybody else seen this? Or are you thinking about it?
My friend who saw it said it was pretty good too, I was suprised, I personally think it's going to be terrible, but what the hell, I'll probably go see it. I heard it's 3 hours though, is that true?

Samuel May Williams House
When you visit Galveston, you begin to realize that time has not erased the evidence of the state's early years. The Greek-style home of Samuel May Williams was shipped from Maine by sea in 1839, and is one of the oldest homes still standing in the area. Williams was the state's first banker and was dubbed the "Father of the Texas Navy" because of his unique ability to finance sea-faring vessels for wartime activity. Special points of interest include a stately winding staircase and a second-floor sea-watch window.
