Love that suit
Love it great suit 5 star
very pretty
Very pretty suit. I got the blueberry. Gave it four stars instead of 5 because of the cut of the pencil skirt. I don't know who those things fit properly, because is sure isn't me. Like the first reviewer, I got a size larger than normal to fit in the hips, and will have to take several inches out of the waist. Very attractive suit, though. Should be worth it.
Austin Texas
Great suit!
This suit is really slimming & flattering. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the sizing/fit is off. I usually wear a 10, but have gained some weight, so I ordered the 12. That was huge, so I exchanged it for the 10. That was too tight, so I exchanged it back to the 12, which I will have tailored. Wouldn't have gone through all this if I didn't like the suit so much!

Sheets of Cheap Carbon Nanotubes Now a Reality

No shadows and mirrors -- a Nanocomp employee poses next to a 3x6 ft sample mesh composed of randomly overlapping millimeter long carbon nanotubes.

The birthplace of the nanotube sheets is Nanocomp's high-tech tube-processing "Big Box", which can churn out a full-sized sheet per day.
(Source: Nanocomp Technologies)
Company makes 3x6 ft carbon nanotube sheets, 100 sq. ft. sheets by the end of the summer; possible uses include consumer electronics, aircraft, and spacecraft
Carbon nanotubes
are like a materials scientists' dream come true --
superior heat
electrical conduction
high strength to weight ratio
, and flame resistance orders of magnitude higher than many commonly used materials.
However, in the past, while these tiny tube-molecules composed carbon atoms were raved about by researchers, plans for practical applications remained largely in the realm of fantasy. The chief problem was the
"nano" part of the nanotubes
-- these tiny tubes would need to be scaled to visible-sized pieces of material in order to be utilized in many practical devices. Such scaling had enjoyed little previous success, and was seen as a major roadblock to putting the ubiquitous nanotubes to work.
Now a
breakthrough from Nanocomp Technologies
, a New Hampshire startup, promises to provide sheets composed of carbon nanotubes on an unprecedented scale. Using nanotubes measuring in the tens of nanometers, Nanocomp produces sheets of carbon nanotubes measuring 3 by 6 feet. Better yet, by the end of the summer the company is promising slabs of 100 square feet or more.
Nanocomp says that the days of waiting for nanotubes materials to be manufactured on a usable scale are over. The company is taking production seriously, and is not looking to remain in the realm of pure research. Says CEO and co-founder of Nanocomp, Peter Antoinette, "From the get-go, we wanted to build something that would be manufacturable. We're out to make value-added components out of that material."
The hardest part about making nanotube materials is growing long enough tubes. Nanocomp makes a powder of tubes that are approximately 1 mm, a relatively long length. In a highly secretive process Nanocomp takes a carbon source such as ethanol or methanol, heats it and flows it past a nanoparticle catalyst, which experts speculate to possibly be an oxide of nickel, cobalt or iron. The carbon molecules react with the catalyst, powered by the heat, forming a nanotube. The size of the catalyst correlates to the size of the nanotube formed.
The big hurdle was maintaining a large enough catalyst, keeping it stable enough for millimeter long tubes to grow. Antoinette says that in order to achieve this, Nanocomp uses an advanced computer controlling 30 different parameters in the process, including temperature, temperature gradient, gas flow rates, and the chemical composition of the mix. Using this precision control, researchers can both control the desired tube length and select from single-walled or multi-walled tubes. Mr. Antoinette states, "We can dial it in."
The resulting nanotubes are arranged randomly overlapping into the large final sheets. To give an idea of the sheet's strength, it has a tensile strength of 200 to 500 megapascals -- aluminum has a strength of approximately 500 megapascals. Better yet, if Nanocomp moves from a random alignment to an organized alignment, the nanotube material could have a tensile strength as high as 1,200 megapascals.
Antoinette comments that Nanocomp is heavily marketing the material to consumer electronics manufacturers and is receiving substantial interest. In cell phone handsets, the material could help to provide protection against stray signals, thanks to its superior
shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI)
. This could yield clearer sound and reception. Also under consideration is the the use of the material
in PDAs
and laptops. The material would provide such portable electronics with both heat dissipation from their chipsets and processors and EMI shielding from unwanted signals, via its randomly aligned nanotubes. Better yet, smaller strips of
aligned nanotubes
could act as powerful antennas, grabbing wireless signals for superior network reception and transmission.
Nanocomp wants to eventually use the material in composites similar to the carbon-composite used to build the new Boeing 787 jets. Current composites can't conduct electricity making them vulnerable to lightning strikes. Nanotube composites could safely channel strikes to harmless locations, protecting the aircraft's electronics. As an added benefit, current could be run through the nanotubes to heat up the aircraft body, and provide additional de-icing capabilities.
Antoinette points out that most of aerospace industry still uses pure copper wire for its conductors -- virtually the same copper wire used since the 1850s. His company's nanotubes could replace this material with better conducting nanotubes, which weigh a mere 20 percent as a much as the copper wiring per volume. Antoinette adds, "Copper wire is still the conductor of all our satellites, all our aircraft."
He points out that a current 747 jet has two tons of copper wire aboard -- a weight cost that could be cut in half by the use of nanotubes. He says, "you're talking literally millions of dollars of savings in fuel costs over the life of an airplane."
Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman are, needless to say, very excited about the potential for the new large scale material. They have already qualified Nanocomp as a vendor and are currently receiving and testing samples of the material from Nanocomp. In hopes of meeting these and other industry leaders demands, after the 100 sq. ft. samples are complete, Nanocomp plans on focusing its efforts on having a pilot-plant running by 2010, with full scale production by 2012.
David Lashmore, Nanocomp co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, pioneered the material assembly process. The other co-founder was Robert Dean, a former engineering professor at Dartmouth who started Synergy Innovations, a high-tech incubator in Lebanon, NH. The pair joined with Antoinette to start up the exciting new firm. They've received a $2.5M USD contract from the U.S. Army and a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the Air Force. They are currently raising additional private financing. To protect itself legally, Nanocomp has signed a non-exclusive license with IBM for IBM's single-wall nanotube process. With 16 of its own patents, Nanocomp looks to safeguard its own prospects as well.

more vulnerable to lightning
if you are in a metal aircraft it forms a faraday cage and conducts the electricity around you....very little voltage drop. Since Power = V * I and V~0 then little power is discharged in the planes conduction. If this resistance goes up now it starts dissipating more power. Very bad.

by Woody Sherman Have you shopped TVs lately? They're more of a visual feast than ever before. They're bright, sharp as a tack, and thin. Great news for your eyes; not such great news for your ears. Good speakers seldom have anywhere to hide on these new, sleek models, meaning your TV's great visual quality is way under-supported by the on-board sound. That's why this Boston Acoustics TVee Model 26 sound bar makes such good sense. With a minimum, and we mean minimum (plugging in one audio wire in most instances) of effort, you can up the sound quality of your beautiful TV from anemic to fantastic, paying off that clear, detailed picture with sound to match. Boston Acoustics hasn't forgotten that many of us are giving our mobile media players a chance to belt out some music as well. That's why this sound bar comes with two available analog stereo miniplug inputs, so (once again) one wire will take care of everything. What do you get when you mix awesome simplicity with musical, all-encompassing sound? The TVee Model 26 is one of the few correct answers to this question. Hook one up. And time yourself doing it if you want some additional satisfaction. Couldn't be easier.

TV model 26 Written By Victor, Lake Worth, Fl on Sunday, September 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding product worth every dollar. I timed it right and got it on sale Pros: EASY SETUP AND THE SOUND BAR WAS BETTER THAN EXPECTED Cons: NONE
Interferes with WiFi Written By Bill, Madison, WI on Monday, August 26, 2013 Decent sound quality, if a little "boomy". It'll take time to manually tune the subwoofer to your room -- you can't do it via remote. Programming my remote to work the bar was cumbersome, but doable, and now it's done it works fine. Pros: Easy set up. Cons: I cannot use my Xbox 360 via WiFi (Xbox Live, Netflix, etc) to provide a video source while the soundbar is turned on. The wireless connection to the sub interferes with the Xbox's WiFi signal. This is a big CON in my house.
Lots of Sound Written By rsoeken, Great Bend, KS on Friday, August 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The optical wire could be longer. Pros: Easy set up. Cons: Connecting wires could be longer.
Boston Acoustics TVee Model 26 Written By Paradis2k, Chesapeake City, Maryland on Friday, April 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product. Easy install.

Installation Issue Written By RP, Spring, TX on Sunday, March 24, 2013 With my wall-mount, flat screen installation, the humongous AC wall wart made it impossible to install. Many sound bars like this are so light, but they achieve this by placing the AC/DC converter inside a wall wart instead of having it inside. There is simply no space at the power outlet. Even if recessed, the wall wart is too large to fit inside a reasonable box. Pros: Looks great on the wall. Cons: You cannot install it behind a flat screen TV on a wall without leaning the screen forward, which looks simply terrible in most homes.
Boston Acoustics TVee Model 26 Sound Bar Written By Amax/Mtns. of N. Ga., Blairsville, GA. on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The web discreption said it would program to our DirecTV remote, even showed (1 of 5) a picture on our remote. It would not program, but it did have a remote in the box. The subwoofer just shook the pictures on the walls and upon turning it down it was non-existant. Most of all the sound volume or pressure was awful, and with 150 watts it sure was quiet. At it's full volume we could talk on the telephone while listening to NBC news.........................we returned it. Pros: Cudos to crutchfield for taking it back Cons: I am not going to use two remotes, and at age 62 this was an awful experience.

Pros: Connection & set up easier than I anticipated Cons: Woofer volume control on the unit. If it is hidden away it may be hard to get to. But once set up one does not have to adjust.
Not Going To Use Two Remotes Written By Jeff D, Austin, TX on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I couldn't program this to work with my DirecTV remote, and am not going to have two remotes laying around, so back she goes! Kudos to Crutchfield for waiving the fee to return. Pros: Easy to set up. Cons: Couldn't program to work with DirecTV remote.
Very Good but not great, yet Written By James H., Austin Texas on Monday, November 05, 2012 This sound bar is very good compared to to others that i have tried from Vizio, Samsung , Sony and LG. The sub is the difference maker to me. This sub gives strong and dynamic punch to movies and music. Hook up to my cable box was very easy and pairing to the sub was a breeze. Pros: Sound. This sound bar rocks with movies and 2ch music. gets loud and the bass will shake the pictures on the walls (with a dolby digital source) Cons: The remote. U cant control the bass through the remote (the sub has a knob on the back) and the remotes range pretty much sucks. Im glad i have a logitech programable remote :) The virtual sound is basically useless.. The bar sounds great with and without it.
Great Product Written By JimP, Virginia Beach on Sunday, October 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The TVee Model 26 was as advertised. It was extremely easy to hook up and produced excellent sound quality. The wireless subwoofer is an added feature. Pros: Easy installation. Cons: None
Amazing sound Written By Pmason718, NYC on Wednesday, October 03, 2012 I have this product installed in a 15x15 living room (apartment) with th sub firing down in the corner on carpet. I haven't been to turn the sound bar up like I would want to (I respect my neighbors) plus I installed it at 10pm but at the level I did hear the sound at I'm more than satisfied with this system. My intentions were too buy them from Crutchfield but when I was in a different companies electronic store comparing it to the Polk 3000 I just I just had to have it right then and there, lol. Keep in mind that in a store which is so open the speakers may sound good or just ok but once you get them in a more enclosed environment this is where you will be amazed. Pros: Nothing to setup, sound bar and sub come paired from the factory, pretty much plug n play. Includes mounting template if u plan to mount on the wall, sub hits nicely w/o being turned up to the max, no lights to interfere when viewing the tv if mounted right under, you can program an existing remote, nice finish and shape, comes with digital audio Cable Cons: No cons unless you wanna consider the fact that it doesn't have Bluetooth so no streaming music wirelessly but that kills your battery on your device faster but at least it does come with a Aux cable and Aux to RCA

New FAR rule would permanently require prompt payments to small subs
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 2:16pm EST
Large contractors would have to pay their small-business subcontractors more quickly under a proposed rule issued by the Federal Acquisition Regulations Council.
The council issued the Federal Register notice Wednesday to implement the July memo from the Office of Management and Budget.
Acting OMB Director Jeff Zients told agency heads to take several steps to accelerate payments to small-business prime and subcontractors. Among the areas he asked agencies to address was ensuring prime contractors promptly paid their subcontractors.
The notice would extend the OMB memo beyond its self-imposed July 2013 sunset.
The proposed rule requires the prompt-payment clause to be inserted into all new solicitations issued after the effective date of the final rule and resultant contracts, including solicitations and contracts for the acquisition of commercial items.
"This proposed rule does not provide any new rights under the Prompt Payment Act and does not affect the application of the Prompt Payment Act late payment interest provisions," the proposal stated.
The proposal doesn't define what an "accelerated payment" timetable is, which may cause some small businesses concern as a large business could claim that 59 days is accelerated compared to 60 days, for example.
Comments on the proposed rule are due by Feb. 19.
Deadline approaching
The FAR Council's suggested change is one of several deliverables due under Zients' memo.
In January, agencies must submit a report describing the progress they are making in accelerating payments to prime contractors, the progress of the agency's largest 25 vendors in incorporating prompt payment clauses in their subcontracts and any other initiatives to improve payments to small firms.
OMB also has taken other several steps over the last year to improve small businesses chances of winning federal contracts. In December 2011, the administration called on agencies to take steps to award more contracts to small firms at the micro-purchase threshold of $3,000.
In June, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy and the Small Business Administration co-signed a memo requiring agencies to take steps to address three long-standing issues around small business contracting, including proper consideration for procurements under $150,000, the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
Agencies continue to miss the governmentwide goal of awarding at least 23 percent of all contracts to small businesses. Whether agencies meet the goal in 2012 and beyond will show just how much impact these memos are having and how much attention OFPP is paying to these issues.

A nickname for those who are odd, opinionated, and inevitably, yet tolerably, awkward members of social circles that straddle the line between love and hate more than about any other stereotype. Usually never outspoken on anything. Very intelligent. Definitely knows how to have fun.
Banana rhymes with Jana, which makes Jana Banana a perfect nickname.

(Washington, DC) The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) today announced the following hearing:
Ukraine: Confronting Internal Challenges and External Threats
Wednesday, April 9, 2014
10:00 am
Room 215 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Please click here at the start of the hearing to view the webcast.
Following the February 22 removal of the corrupt Yanukovych regime, the new interim government has been working to address numerous internal challenges, including badly needed economic and political reforms. This includes preparations for the May 25th presidential elections. At the same time, Russia continues to threaten Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity with further military intervention and attempts to undermine the legitimacy of the new government.
The hearing will offer an assessment of the current situation in Ukraine as it addresses difficult internal challenges exacerbated by Russia's seizure of Crimea as well as an assessment of ongoing threats and challenges to other countries in the region. The hearing will address current U.S. policy, and how the United States, together with the international community, including the EU and the OSCE, can best continue to assist Ukraine and deter further Russian aggression.
Scheduled to testify:
The Honorable Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, U.S. Department of State
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 57 countries. The Commission consists of nine members from the U.S. Senate, nine from the House of Representatives, and one member each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

Kunuku - Crispy lentil fritters
Kunuku - Does the name sound funny? I am not a big fan of kunuku. But I like to have it once in a while for a change.We usually make it when we have some left over adai(savory crepes) batter. Instead of deep frying, I used a kuzhipaniyaram (appe) pan and shallow fried the batter.
Left over thick adai batter-Click here for recipe
Oil-To deep fry or shallow fry
If you are deep frying, heat sufficient oil in a pan. Take some left over adai batter. Shape them into small uneven balls and deep fry till golden brown.
If you are using a kuzhipaniyaram pan, grease it with oil. Heat the pan. Drop some batter in each hole and drizzle oil around the corners. When one side turns golden brown, flip and cook the other side. It takes a while to become brown and crispy. So do not be in a hurry to turn them around.
Serve hot with ketchup!

Editorial: Technical Expertise
Contrary to what my publisher may sometimes think, I am not a Luddite. For those unfamiliar with the term, a Luddite is someone who opposes technical or technological change. The term comes from the nickname of a group of British workers who, between 1811 and 1816, rioted and destroyed laborsaving textile machines because they thought the technology would destroy their jobs.
By the same token, I am not usually what you would call an early adopter. For instance, I went for a long time without a cell phone. Admittedly, that was partly because I couldn't get service in the area of West Virginia where I live.
Sometimes I am an early adopter of the wrong technology. At one time I had a device which one placed next to the receiver mouthpiece of a landline telephone in order to send email. The usefulness of that device diminished in direct proportion to the disappearance of phone banks in convention centers. Its death knell was the arrival of cell phone reception on our hill.
I do not have a Blackberry or other such device. It is not that I doubt their usefulness or versatility. It's just that such devices won't do what I usually need them to do—create, edit, and transmit large amounts of text from wherever I happen to be. I do however have a nice little Dell netbook with wireless capability, webcam, and other neat features that let me do what needs doing. It's also small, easy to carry, and holds a charge longer than some of the handheld devices.
What about social networking? QP columnist Tawnya Starr started a very good series of articles in our July issue that breaks down social media into its basic components and that will give tips on the best ways to use each of them. Her first recommendation was to start with LinkedIn, and I'm right there with her—and right there on Linked-In. I also host webinars.
QP also has Twitter feeds, a LinkedIn discussion group, a Facebook fan page, and offers RSS feeds. We are also available on mobile devices via My Yahoo! and iGoogle. In today's changing communications landscape, information dissemination can no longer be confined solely to marks on paper.
These particular thoughts occurred to me as I finished writing the lengthy editor's note for the new Printing News "e-book" that launched in July. I had written it on my netbook at 37,000 feet over Texas and transmitted the file directly to the office via Delta's recently introduced Gogo Inflight Internet service. Can you imagine a Luddite doing such a thing?

About This Brand
HUF first opened its doors in August 2002, with the aim to bring the best brands footwear, streetwear and skateboarding had to offer under one roof. The roof however, was tiny. Even owner Keith Hufnagel didn't have the foresight to imagine how well received his vision would be on an offbeat block of Sutter Street just above the Tenderloin District. HUF quickly grew to be known as San Francisco's premiere purveyor of hard to come by goods. Since it's Bay Area debut, HUF has opened a new door each year. Each expansion has allowed an opportunity for Hufnagel to bring more of what the NYC native loves to his permanent home of San Francisco. A professional skateboarder since 1992, Keith has a unique view and ability to blend his inspiration from the cultures that surround him. What started as a simple solution to Hufnagel's frustration to find what he wanted to wear in San Francisco, has grown into 3 shops, a clothing brand and in 2008 will expand it's doors to Los Angeles. However, Keith's first love has always been and always will be Skateboarding. He continues to tour the world on his board with his teams and his friends, which helps fuel and inspire his retail vision.

Articles like this make my head hurt. First, some clarifications:
1. A nation is not a state, it is just a group of people who consider themselves members of that nation.
2. A nationalist is someone who has his own concept of what the nation should be - who is included, who is excluded; what the national culture should be.
3. Culture, at a minimum, is how people live - language, food, morality and other social norms.
4. Urban cultures are different from neighboring rural cultures.
5. We all speak a language which is different from the formal, written language. (As an example, go to Liverpool or the Bronx and listen to the people - they speak different dialects although they write in the same language.) This is also true of other aspects of culture.
6. We all live simultaneously in different cultures. In England, the same people behave quite differently in a pub than in a good restaurant. Cultures can be class-based, regionally based, occupationally based, and so on. And, as we all know, investment bankers have their very own culture and morality.
7. Cultures are dynamic and change over time. The Industrial Revolution led to huge changes in cultures and, often, the creation of new ones.
8. But underlying modes of thought and group memory are remarkable persistent.
9. Nationalist historians present a version of past events which support their own agenda. Unfortunately, there are few historians who can write an objective version which can be accepted as true since it will, inevitably, show the warts as well as the beauty spots.
But modern nationalists often seek to return their region to an imagined past, often rural, where outside influences are resisted, just like the effort to return Catalonia to a land where everyone speaks Catalan. They are fundamentally reactionary, resisting change as if such changes threaten their culture, and even seeking to eliminate culture phenomena which have come from an "alien" source.
Given that cultures evolve over time, why should populations accept the imposition of a freeze, or even retrogression of their culture. Who are the nationalists to tell them how to live their lives? Nationalists will reply by asking who are these people - usually non-members of their self0defined nation - to influence the way they live their own lives. But I think you will see the fallacy in this logic.
And nationalists often try to use language as an additional way to define who is a member of the nation and, incidentally, to restricy access to ideas from outside their nation.
Catalan nationalists will say that it is Spanish nationalists that are seeking to impose their idea of the Spanish nation on Catalonia, and they may be right. But if Spanish nationalists have no right to impose their values on Catalonia, who are the Catalan nationalists to impose their values on those who live in Catalonia but do not share, or wish to share, those values?
As I said, it makes my head hurt.

Malala Yousafzai attends her first day of school on Tuesday at the Edgbaston High School for Girls in Birmingham, England. / AP
Malala Yousufzai will not go quietly.
The 15-year-old Pakistani student was shot in the head at point-blank range by Taliban gunman for taking a bold and public stance in support of girls' education. After a miraculous recovery, Yousufzai triumphantly returned to school in Britain last week. Now, she's writing a book about her campaign to promote education.
I Am Malala is set for release this fall.
The Guardian reported the deal was inked for around $3 million, though a spokesman for the publisher, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, would not confirm reports about the value of the deal.
"I want to tell my story, but it will also be the story of 61 million children who can't get education," Yousafzai said in a news release. "I want it to be part of the campaign to give every boy and girl the right to go to school. It is their basic right."
Malala Yousufzai returned to school just six months after the Taliban attempted to assassinate her on a school bus in northwestern Pakistan. The bullet entered just above her left eye, grazing her brain as it traveled along her jawline.
After Pakistani doctors removed the bullet, Malala was flown to Britain for further surgeries to repair the damage. Doctors replaced part of her skull with a metal plate and implanted an electronic device to help her hear. She was discharged from a Birmingham hospital last month.
At age 11, Malala began to write a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under the Taliban in the Swat Valley. After Pakistan's military ousted the militants in 2009, she began publicly speaking out about the need for girls' education. She appeared frequently in the media and was given one of the country's highest civilian honors for her bravery.
Since the shooting, July 12 has been designated by the United Nations as Malala Day. The Malala Fund, set up on behalf of her and her family, is dedicated to the education and empowerment of girls in Pakistan and around the world.
"This book will be a document to bravery, courage and vision," said Arzu Tahsin, deputy publishing director at Weidenfeld & Nicolson. "Malala is so young to have experienced so much and I have no doubt that her story will be an inspiration to readers from all generations who believe in the right to education and the freedom to pursue it."

With 2.5 million residents, Brooklyn packs in a lot of punch. This is New York City's most populous borough and its second largest. Immigrants have long flocked here-waves of Europeans, Latinos, Asians, Africans, and, yes, Midwesterners, too. Since the subways started running, Brooklyn has fed Manhattan with a steady diet of commuters. Now, many of those movers and shakers are considering Brooklyn apartments and rentals more than just a home base. Who needs Manhattan when Brooklyn offers so much? Its culture, its economy, and its more reasonable rents all combine to produce a pretty sweet sounding Brooklyn accent.
The Dutch were the first Europeans to plant a flag on this end of Long Island. The Village of Breukelen was what they called it in 1646. Twenty years later, the British stepped in, reorganizing the town into their Province of New York. It served as a base for the British during the Revolutionary War but then, as part of the new United States, it really found its footing. From 1800 to 1820, Brooklyn's population tripled, then it doubled again, and again by 1840. It enveloped the surrounding towns and reached its current boundaries by 1896. When the Brooklyn Bridge went up, residents voted to become a borough of New York City.
Brooklyn's modern history is a crisscrossing map of movement. Ethnic enclaves appear in one bit of the borough then shift to another as different waves arrive. Still, it's famous for how well everyone gets along. That's the Brooklyn motto-"Unity makes strength." Bedford-Stuyvesant is a cultural hub for African-Americans and the Caribbean community. Italians and Arabs congregate in Bay Ridge. Russians and Ukrainians choose Sheepshead Bay. Bushwick is largely Latino. And the latest wave? Say hi to the hipsters in Williamsburg.
Brooklyn is a borough with a wealth of opportunity, both for study and work. City College of New York's Brooklyn College is considered one of the great bargains of higher education. It delivers academic excellence at an affordable price. You can find Brooklyn Law School downtown. The Pratt Institute, over in Clinton Hill, ranks as one of the leading arts, design, and architecture schools in the country.
Brooklyn's popularity is partially due to having cheaper rents and more space than in Manhattan. Studios in Brooklyn average $1,686 a month. In Tribeca, across the bridge, they can be $4,000. Of course, you'll find rents vary widely across this large borough. The cheapest areas are Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bay Ridge. The most expensive neighborhood of late is DUMBO, which stands for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass."
Brooklyn doesn't skimp when it comes to culture. The Brooklyn Academy of Music has an opera house, theater, and cinemas. The Brooklyn Museum presents America's second largest public art collection. Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens keep the borough breathing easy. Need a thrill? Coney Island, one of America's first amusement parks, will take you on a spin-but hopefully not right after you've competed in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. For sports, things are looking up. The Brooklyn Dodgers may have moved to LA-still a sore point for locals-but the New Jersey Nets are packing their bags for Park Slope. They'll be the Brooklyn Nets in 2012 when the Barclay Center opens.
Year-round, something's happening on the streets of Brooklyn. Don't miss the Coney Island Mermaid Parade in June or the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival in July. The West Indian American Day Carnival is the largest annual parade in New York City. Easier still, just grab a slice of pizza and watch the sun set over the city skyline. Take a stroll over the Brooklyn Bridge and try and believe that this is where you're lucky enough to live.

Fits perfect & protects well
everyone who has a apple iPhone 4/4s should have this case on their phone to protect it
For the price I paid for this, this product deserves 4 stars for being a good product. The rubber is a little tougher than the higher priced models but for the price, it does the job. I actually liked the fact that it had a bit of traction while in my pockets. I wear mostly dress pants for work and it was nice to know that it wouldn't slide around (or out) when I was sitting.
The only complaint I have is the silicone doesn't slid into a pocket very easily.
It's a good case except when you wear jeans with a silicon case. The lint sticks to the case and gets stuck in this case. But still a good case

Comments: This is an awesome bow tie. I got it for New Year's Eve, it's got a really nice party theme to it. I honestly cannot think of another tie that comes close to this pattern, You would think it's loud, based on the color and the different things layered on, but it's not. It's a very nicely balanced pattern. And the material looks great, and feels great. Very nice quality. |

Calvin Schwalm, a hard-working, story-telling man who rarely took a day off from his chores, dies at age 80
By Martin B. Hamilton
JOHNSTOWN - Calvin John Schwalm came from a family of do-it-yourselfers.
A dairyman for more than half his life, all of which was spent in Johnstown, Schwalm passed away last Friday at his home. He was 80.
Born on Nov. 4, 1924, when he arrived, Schwalm was so small he fit in a shoebox."He supposedly weighed four pounds," said Jolene Schwalm, one of his two daughters. "He was delivered by his own mother," Mollie Schwalm.
"It's on his birth certificate," said Jolene's sister, Diane Schwalm Reid. "Where it reads who delivered the baby, it says, 'Myself.'"
Schwalm's father was Clarence Schwalm, one of five children born to John and Ida Schwalm. The family moved from Fleming to Johnstown in 1902, just when Johnstown became incorporated, and bought a farm west of town in Elwell.
"They were raised with hard work," said Reid, who said her grandmother applied the same ethic. "When someone wanted to take an afternoon nap, grandma would say, 'Kid, get out there and work it out.'"
Recently, even when he wasn't feeling well, Calvin Schwalm still did his chores.
"He basically baled the second-cutting hay, which was put up in the first week of July," his daughter Jolene said. "But he told me this summer, he got tired easily. He was losing weight and didn't have much of an appetite, so he went in to see a doctor."
Less than three weeks later, after being diagnosed with cancer and having surgery, Schwalm passed away. "But he did his thing right up to the end. He had a full life," said Jolene, who continues to live on and work the farm.
"We have about 80 acres left," she said. "It was probably 100 to 105 acres at its largest, and it was all used to support dairy cows, Guernsey cows. Dad was a member of the Guernsey Cattle Club for years."
With more than five dozen head, Jolene said her father did all the milking himself. "He went about 40 years without missing a milking," she said. "We had enough to live on, but he never got rich at it."
Paul Nelson, one of his peers who runs his own dairy north of Milliken, admired Schwalm.
"His work (came) first," he said. "I met him in 1947 or '48. He was a good dairyman, and he did it all himself. Nobody else could milk his cows. They were a crazy bunch of cows, except when he was around.
The cows knew who was supposed to milk them."
There were, however, a couple of times Schwalm didn't milk.
Reid said, "From the time he started milking in '46 when he got back from the war, the only days he missed were for his in-laws' funerals in Delta. That's twice a day every day; a pretty amazing record."
As a young man, Schwalm worked the family farm with his father "until he went into the service," Jolene said.
A 1942 graduate of Johnstown High School, Schwalm attended Colorado A&M (now Colorado State University) for one year before joining the U.S. Army. As a rifleman with the 35th Infantry Division, he fought in the Battle of Germany near the end of World War II.
"Then he came back and farmed with his dad," Jolene said. "They bought this place about four miles north of town, then his dad passed away."
Schwalm raised and milked cows until the early 1990s, then semi-retired, she said. "He has been raising hay since then and selling it mostly to horse people."
Quarter horses were Schwalm's sideline, said Jolene, who also raises and trains them.
"For fun, he raised registered quarter horses in the late '40s when the breed was first established," she said. "Both my sister and I rode. That was his hobby, but it's my business."
Schwalm made it his business to get in a day's good work and also remember the past.
"He was a fabulous storyteller," said Reid, a professor of communication with the Indiana University system. She lives in New Albany, Ind., and prides herself on her abilities stemming from the fact her father was quite adept at providing oral history.
"Family history, local stories, he could tell them for hours," she said. "He had an amazing memory and was big into the oral history tradition."
Ardis Briggs, president of the Johnstown Historical Society, was appreciative of that. The JHS regularly interviews longtime residents, engaging them in conversation that elicits stories - and in the process the history - of Johnstown and its people.
"He was a reliable source for lots of local history," Briggs said. "He'd share pictures with us and was always great about helping us out. He was a lot of fun to be around."
"He had quite a laugh," Nelson said.
Schwalm is survived by his three brothers, Ken, Lloyd, and Richard, along with his daughters, several nieces and nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by another brother, Howard.
His wife of almost a half-century, Arelyne, passed away just about six years ago. They were married on June 9, 1950.
"They would've had their 50th anniversary the next summer," Jolene said.
A charter member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2585 in Johnstown, Schwalm was also involved in 4-H Club activities as a youth and later as a leader.
He was laid to rest Wednesday morning in the Johnstown Cemetery. Memorial contributions in his name may be made to the Weld County 4-H Foundation in care of Kibbey-Fishburn Funeral Home, 1102 Lincoln Ave., Loveland, CO 80537.

The Home Education Business Directory is perhaps best described as 'a preferential trading community for home educators, home educated young people and supporters of home education'. Since that explanation is something of a mouthful, we coined a new term, 'home-edupreneur' to describe the home educating entrepreneurs whose diverse range of businesses are highlighted in the directory and will be regularly featured on the website.
The philosophy which underpins the directory is analogous to that of the well established 'fair trade', 'shop local' and 'ethical investment' networks, all of which encourage consumers to exercise positive discrimination in their spending. We believe that home educators want to support fellow home educators where possible; grannies, cousins and friends of home educators often want to demonstrate their support in a practical way; and those who have home educated in the past, or are sympathetic to the principle of freedom in education, might want to proactively source products or services from home-edupreneurs.
Designed as a Home Ed High Street, the Home education Business Directory is divided into broad business sectors, so browsing couldn't be easier for visitors. Simply click on a shop icon for a list of businesses in that sector and prepare to be amazed at the diversity!
For businesses, the directory offers three levels of listing as follows:
GOLD level listing is available free of charge to UK based businesses which are owned and run by home educating parents or home educated young people. This level of listing is also available (at our discretion) to UK based businesses whose owners can demonstrate a direct connection to the home education community.
SILVER level listing is available (free of charge in the first instance) to UK based businesses which offer discounts or special offers to home educating families.
BRONZE level listing is available (at our discretion and free of charge in the first instance) to UK based businesses whose products and services may be of interest to the home education community.
If you want to add your business to our directory, please complete this form. You should indicate the nature of your connection to the UK home education community and/or state why you feel your business would be of particular interest to our community.
Home Education Forums reserves the right to refuse to list any business in its directory.

Phoronix: Intel Mesa Gives Problems With KDE's KWin, Again
Martin Gräßlin, the lead KDE developer of the KWin compositing window manager, usually has fairly insightful and technical blog posts. Last week he was talking about possibly moving the KDE screensaver into the KWin compositor for KDE SC 4.8 after writing the KDE view on GNOME's new compositing manager. Today he has written a new post, but this time it's about the open-source Intel Mesa driver breaking (again) for KWin...
Instead of talking to driver developers like Wine and Gnome people do and resolving issues together, he prefers writing ranty blog posts where he describes how bloody hacks in KWin are driver developers' fault. Typical coward.
From his post:
Still I could talk to them now instead of writing angry blog posts? Sadly I cannot. First of all we were notified about the change too late to do anything. As just explained we were notified after 4.6.2 and no chance to adjust before Natty. Furthermore I was ill last week, are sitting in a plane to the US right now, so I can write blog posts but cannot use Internet and I will stay more or less disconnected throughout the next week.
I'm really on Intel's side here. Both changes are improvements, having the 20090101 date in there forever isn't really informative.
Why the heck do they parse direct rendering from the name anyway, it would take five minutes to look at how glxinfo checks for it.
I think that Marek was less concerned with passing the blame and more about the approach to resolving problems.
I don't think that checking the renderer string is the correct thing to do, but I also don't know any other way.
It's also quite amazing that the Intel devs broke one of the most important linux apps out there in a point release without even checking whether it works. The solution is to downgrade the driver and use the old one until the issue is resolved, and that's quite pointless.
A simple regression test would have given everyone enough time to find the problem and resolve it.
For the record, there appears to be a nice function called glXIsDirect, which is what glxinfo uses.
Software rasteriser uses direct rendering, so checking that is completely pointless.
What KWin needs to do is whether GL is hardware-accelerated, and there is no way to check that. Even in forums when people debug driver issues, people look at the renderer string.
Martin is a volunteer and has my thanks for all his hard work. He also rants a lot, which is sometimes unfortunate. But the sad fact is that Intel released a driver which broke KWin, one of the most important applications in Linux. They either
- released a driver without even testing whether it works, or
- released a driver although they knew it would break the desktop for many users, and didn't tell anyone.
Either way, it's very very unfortunate.
Hm, right. In that case, how about the driver name (as output by xdriinfo)? Parsing that ought to be easier, with only three (AFAIK) software drivers.
I don't know how well that works, but KWin needs OpenGL 2 functionality for some things, so even hardware-accelerated drivers using old codepaths don't work -- that's why they're checking for DRI2. Only Intel does not list DRI2 in the renderer string either, so they tested for GEM, which got removed.
Grepping the renderer string is an old evil which broke many things in the past, even 10 years ago, but there is simply no good way to test what the driver actually supports today, and that's a problem.
With KDE 4.5, KWin made changes which broke things on Mesa drivers and were (rightly) criticised for not testing with open drivers. They said that they trusted the drivers about the functionality they advertised, but didn't implement.
This time, Mesa devs made changes which broke KWin, and KWin guys did not even know about it until it hit Ubuntu repositories.

So, after this derby is over do I get my design back? Or do I have to wait another 60 days. I really like this design and I want it to print so I can wear it myself.

In the history of people drawing seahorses, this is probably the first time anyone has gone with 'sinister'. And it's pretty sweet. :^)

If it makes this shirt happen, I'm willing to make the sacrifice. This shirt really really needs to exist. One could argue that I don't. Sadly, it doesn't look like this is going to happen. I'm really bummed.

Click the "I Want One" button at the top left of the design.
Hopefully the mailman is going to bring me a delightful little package of cloud puke in about 2 weeks time.
Oh man I hope this wins. It's like Sanrio gone horribly wrong, which means it NEEDS to be on my chest.

Re: Luckier Than Ever!
How can I get one of these??
Its SUPER-cute and well-done, but I just can't get over the fact that frogs and whales never can and never will live in the same ecosystems. Some types of river dolphins could run into frogs, but whales? Never.
Re: Pinkerton
I love everything abut it, textured, placement, idea, coloring!, it's amazing!
Re: Group Hug (Version 2)
The frogs face looks like Mario, just add the red hat. GMV!

Re: Paper Cuts
Gorgeous! Love the paper bits as much as the Chinese Zodiac itself. Great sense of humour too with the rooster looking down at his lost scissors. Hope it prints!
This shirst has personality plus! I want one, or two or ...
Re: Lightning Bolt
I wouldn't be surprised if Woot picked this as an EC this week, or at least we can hope.

No prob. I had seen the books, but it didn't come into focus until this shirt was in its original derby.
seeing even more details this time around...impressive and yes, I even think there are days I might wear it.
