i don't know whether he is a good Prime Minister or not. He is not the only person to blame for economic failure in Italy in these years. And he is a good boss of Milan. Good luck to him.
A change at the last hour to save the media like the hound Monti has prolonged the stay the way I read this I think this is better move now .Mario Monti, who announced on Saturday that he intended to resign after just over a year as Italy's prime minister, restored international credibility to his country and dragged it back from the brink of financial collapse. The 69-year-old former European commissioner replaced the scandal-plagued Silvio Berlusconi in November last year as skyrocketing borrowing costs threatened to plunge Italy into a Greek-style debt crisis. Now it is the withdrawal of Berlusconi's support in parliament that has prompted his decision to go once next year's budget is approved, a few months before polls expected in March. Monti, who was known as the "Italian Prussian" in Brussels where he made his name as an effective and intransigent competition commissioner, quickly won the admiration of Italy's partners and financial markets. When Berlusconi pulled his party's backing for Monti's technocrat government on Dec. 6, the gap between Italy's benchmark bonds and safer German Bunds stood below 3.2 percentage points, little more than half the level when Monti took over. With his economist's training and measured, sober manner Monti is often considered a very atypical Italian and was the perfect antidote to the discredited Berlusconi. I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
Seemingly italian politicians have not yet understood what is necessary in Europe in these certainly difficult times. I wonder if italian voters have more understanding about the current situation. Europe can not afford an italian bail-out.
It is amazing how little the author of this article knows. He seldom comes where he is more ignorant than anyone else. It's not true that Bersani has plenty of political experince. Mr Bersani is a former communist and if you are a communist you can't be right in the head and only morons can trust such a man. It is not true that this Mr Bersani when was last in office between 2006 and 2008 he was on the side of reforms. He only pretended to make reforms. The reforms this 'good minister'tried to carry out where only laughable and negligible reforms nobody noticed. Have you ever heard of communists making reforms. It would be the same to speak of an honest thief. Mr Bersani is a former communist and once communist always communist all the way. Don't forget the proverb." The leopard never changes his spots". NEVER!!!!
We have to take note of the fact that should Bersani and his left acolytes take power in Italy, Italy would lose any credibility that's why the foreign markets wouldn't have any confidence in Italy's future. They wouldn't buy Italy's public bond and the government wouldn't have the means to pay salaries, pensions and services. There would be a dreadful recession, huge unemployment, flight of capital, relocation of many firms abroad. The government would be compelled to put taxes over taxes among them the sinister property tax would excel. It would be a general disaster and because of that the centre-right voters, who are the majority in the country, have to join together and avoid absolutely that the leftists could take power in Italy. Only a nation of idiots would be ready to entrust its destiny and its future to a party (the PD with secretary the former communist Mr Bersani) which is the direct spritual heir of the craziest and most deranged and insane ideology which has ever infested the world we live in: the Communism
I totally agree! Neither the communists nor Berlusconi would be good for Italy. What is bad for Italy will be bad for Europe as well.
Italy and with it all those that have given it some trust and belief that it was able to make progress are sadly getting what they deserve: thank you Mr. Berlusconi for reminding us so harshly what the real Italy is about.
@MAXIMILIANO HERRERA.Maximiliano,how is weather in Paris?The squalid provocations you write just now that we got rid of a man and a government that we never needed may come only from the well known source in France hosting provocations and idiotisms of sarkozist nature.I do not believe that you write from Spain:a little bit of decency would deny you to write what you write.Anyway,anything would be better than this government:it is out of doubt that we shall make a U turn and after the next elections elect a government that will understand a simple truth:you do not have any progress without helping sales,which means growth and pullout from recession.Something that Monti pretended of not understanding,while he perfectly understood how to fatten his beloved banks
We still are waiting for the reamarks of Monty Italy geared up for early elections on Sunday after Prime Minister Mario Monti said he will resign in the coming days and Silvio Berlusconi announced he will run again for the sixth time in two decades."I have matured the conviction that we could not continue like this any longer," Monti was quoted as saying a day after his announcement in an interview with Ferruccio De Bortoli, editor of top daily Corriere della Sera.Monti explained that he made his decision after lawmakers from Berlusconi's People of Freedom party withdrew their support for his government last week in a symbolic protest, saying Italy was now economically worse off than before. It is too early for us to judge . We have seen many who want to leave want to come back and rule even the ruins I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
An old communist against an old oligarch.
Bersani will increase taxes and will not cut the cost of state... and Berlusconi doesn't expect to win, he just wants to create a group that will help him to survive and defend his interests. He was recently convicted of tax fraud and is facing trial on accusations that ha paid for sex with a minor.
They are unfit to rule Italy!
We need a third way that obviously is not Casini, Fini and Montezemolo ...
Italy needs a total renewal, but that should start from citizens.
Few weeks ago the left party had the possibility of choosing a candidate between an old nomenklatura dinosaur and a young politician that despite his limits had a more liberal approach. Well, they chose the old guy.
Similarly there is no a right wing party expressing liberal values. The buffoon, defining liberal himself and his party of servants / courtesans, sounds like a contradiction in terms.
Electing younger and more open minded politicians could help Italy to rebuild a new identity and a new role in the globalised world. Carrying on with this absurd theatre of old ignorant people, self absorbed in the preservation of their power, would lead to complete disaster.
So many political leaders are painted as buffoons, fascists, communists, and what not in the worst propagandist era in contemporary history, that labels may be losing their effectiveness. As a matter of fact, I would not be surprised to find out eventually that negative labels have helped move some people in the unintended direction. Any party or individual whom uses labels to depict someone is most definitely not worth trusting, as what got the world in trouble to begin with is abuse and excess, and I can't picture how more abuse and excess can be deemed to be a remedy to the current political and economic crisis. It is also surprising to see how political candidates said to be losing the election race have won the election, as I suspect many people do not answer polls honestly to avoid criticism.
I am Italian and I hope that at the next elections the Italian people going to vote properly and wisely, because Italy cannot have other 5 years of berlusconi and his circus dwarfs and dancers.
Why now, even those who supported him before, are disgusted by the evil who led to italy and europe.
Italy is not Berlusconi dwarves and "olgettine" is also Art, Culture, Literature, Architecture and the best people in the world.
Italy and Italian people are wonderful, more than any other country worldwide, but they have been overshadowed by the storm that brought Berlusconi.
not sure how you can state that Italy and Italians are wonderful people. Italy is a poor country, with a corruption of a third world place, run by mafia and few other criminals, corrupted at all levels, sort sighted in his decisions and first of all ignorant and thinking with the belly not with the head.
Otherwise I can;t explain how a corrupted buffoon, under investigations for most the crimes in the Criminal Code can still be out of jail, owning televisions and papers and running again for the most important job in country.
I swear I am going to give up my passport if he somehow manages to get there again. The odds are against him, but the short memory of Italians since the Roman times has proved to be unbeatable.
If your countrypeople will be so fool to vote for Bersani and the leftists they will jump out of the frying pan into the fire, as sure as eggs is eggs. Whre do they think they are going with the leftists? Ah,Ah,Ah!!!!!
That's the point that Italians don't get. THEY have to change and not their political leadership. Tax fraud and corruption are Italy's biggest problem and the politicians are only the top of this iceberg. Italians live mainly without rules and leak of a social sense towards others.
I doubt that people vote wisely, as obviously emotions are running high. Moreover, voting wisely nowadays is polite to mean vote as I do. Furthermore, most people understand that any collective effort made to restore economic prosperity and social order may be undermined by events outside of their control and their territorial borders such that their faith is not entirely within their own control.
He is out of jail because the judges who, for the most part, are left-wingers and biased against him, have no proof to convict him of something. They have always come out empty-handed. What proof have they got that he was guilty of something? No one. That's the truth. If your countrypeople will be so fool to vote for Bersani and the leftists next year, they will jump out of the frying pan into the fire, as sure as eggs is eggs. Where do you think you are going with the leftists? You are heading for the rocks perhaps.
I say you only this: Berlusconi not is Italy and the Italian people.
And is impossible for me assist you to understand because 30% the Italian people vote for berlusconi.
If the Italian people do not vote for the leftists for who they should vote?
For Grillo...nooooo! it's the same of berlusconi.
for berlusconi....noooo! he is the drama for european economy.
I think, and I hope, that at the next vote the leftlist will win. and that Bersani put at the economics ministry Mario Monti.
...is the only way

Well....According to all the stats Italians are the richest in Europe !!!
I am not sure where you come from but yours it is just poor ignorance.
you're wrong!
Berlusconi also was convicted of tax fraud!
for other offenses he has been done ad personam laws!
and yours it is just poor ignorance.
....with a communist al PM and a bankster as economy minister a scoundrel who sold junk fund and ruined a great number of people and a country...it would be the sure way to go for the rocks. You are right!
Elections will likely be held on 24 February, not together with the municipal ones (note for The Economist: Italians say "election day" in English only when elections at two or more levels are held simultaneously).
Monti is thinking to launch a candidature (with a coalition of centrist parties ?).
It's a mess: Berlusconi leading the center-right with small chance to win, the centrist parties which have been beaten down badly (Di Pietro Party with internal divisions and scandals and Casini's with lower consensus), The center-left of the old guard Bersani supported by Vendola and the big chunk of votes of the 5 Stars Movement which is not seeking any compromise with anybody.
The Center-Left will likely win, but perhaps with a minority government and it would be hard to govern. Than, another crisis, new elections, and perhaps the default coming. Poor Italy....
There's no possibility for a minority government in Italy thanks to the "porcellum" reform. The winning party receives automatically 55% of the seats in the Italian parliament. The rest amount will be distributed among the other parties.
That is only true in part. The problem is that this "winning bonus" is attributed at the national level for the lower house (Camera), in the senat they are attributed at the regional level. So, it may happen what happened in 2006 (when Prodi won): a majority in the Senat of 3 senators or something like that.
I am glad to hear that Mr Monti has called Mr Burlesque's bluff and said he will resign after the budget is passed probably triggering an early election.
Italian politics."The Empire Strikes Back" As it seems inevitable that Mr Berlusconi will return one asks the question, is it to do which the gnome, genes or boomerangs? Mr(s) Blair, Sarkozy all wish to return after having served there apprenticeships.
What a sad, pathetic and desperate country is Italy right now.
This is a third world country, really, let's face the reality: it still survives with the inheritance of some industry built and designed by past brilliant Italian minds, but today there is only mediocrity and more mediocrity.
This country will keep declining year after year, no matter if the world economy will improve.
The problem with the Italians' attitude to Monti, is that they believe his job was to make Italy like Germany, or Australia, or maybe even a bit more like France - that is - competitive. When in reality, Monti's task was to avoid Italy going down the path of Greece, Portugal and Spain. And like it or not, he achieved this. At least for the duration of his tenancy.
This is the great irony, and stupidity, of the populist Italian position on Monti. They feel that Monti was an instrument of Goldman Sachs, of Germany and the ECB, and a symbol for a loss of sovereignty. When in reality, it is Monti's very departure which will see Italy lose its sovereignty.
Monti's departure will see Italy require a bailout, onward to partial default, over the next 12-18 months. Then the Italian people will see will see what loss of sovereignty means. Then they will see what high taxes means.
And at that point, when the incumbent leader - be it Berlusconi or Bersani or even that clown Grillo - is ignominiously booted out, they will turn to the next populist leader, who will run on a platform of telling Italians what exactly they want to hear..that "things need to change, but YOU...PERSONALLY...don't need to change with it." It's always "other" people in Italy that needs to change.
That Berlusconi can still manipulate the Italian political landscape purely for his own ends, that of avoiding ejection from politics and criminal prosecution, says nothing about Berlusoni and everything about how sick and gullible Italy is as a country.
What's happening now in Italy is a last desperate grasp, now rapidly slipping away, of a world they think still exists. A world where you can have a job for life. A world where you can retire early, on a sizeable pension. A world where 40% of don't have to be in the paid workforce, but at home, with their 1.2 children.
Italy has two options: they can accept reality, let go of their delusions and pursue the new world with dignity and through self-determination. Or they can be dragged into it, kicking and screaming, by other powers.
Or there is a third, and that is to continue the long and continuous decline, which in the end will be the hallmark of the Berlusconi era.
The third scenario is the likeliest. The second, the most painful. The first? It seems Italy is too deluded, too immobile, to factionalised, too unwilling, and too yesterday, to even see it.
Shame. It is the country of all of my ancestors, which I so dearly love in my heart. But a country in which a criminal like Berlusconi can still dominate, is gladly, no country of mine.
Italy's credibility, economy and future are irrelevant matters in this political moment. So it's better to forget about them. The only subject that counts in this moment, that is taken into account by political leaders is their possibility of winning the elections. They had not and still have not any serious idea about how to make the country actually restart. It's a pure game for leading a falling country:. Berlusconi's policy was a total fuss. The vast majority of his political companions are just tragically funny, keen to follow him to save themselves. So Berlusconi and Berlusconians are the problem on the right wing.On the left the problem is quite specular: Bersani won and old styled eternal politicians of that party are taking care of their future. The game will be played without any moral limitations and ignoring 100% both the country and its inhabitants. About this we can still discuss, but please do not make use of concepts like" italians" "economy" "future" or "credibility.
09/12/2012 We have physical, fiscal and mental torture we go through daily or spasmodic and these create the cobwebs in our head, killing=g out clear thinking On March 24, 1944, in retaliation for a partisan attack, the SS army killed 10 Italians for each of the German soldiers who had died on the previous day. Learning about the Ardeatine massacre was how I first heard the expression "to decimate"; it was only years later that I realised the true meaning of the word, and how perverse it was for it to have been reversed like that. Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti announced on Saturday that he intended to resign once next year's budget is approved in parliament after Silvio Berlusconi's party withdrew its support for his technocrat government this week. Only hours before the announcement, Berlusconi said he would run to become premier for a fifth time on a platform that attacks Monti's stewardship of the economy. President Giorgio Napolitano is now expected to set the date for an election, which must come within 70 days of the government resigning. Italy had in any case been due to go to the polls by April at the latest. Monti's move turns the tables on Berlusconi, who seemed to have once again seized a political opportunity to keep his party in the political game just a year after being forced to resign amid a sex scandal and a debt crisis. At a conference in France earlier, Monti, whose year in office was widely credited with restoring Italy's international credibility after the scandal-plagued Berlusconi era, warned of the threat of "populism". He said Italy should not go back to where it was when he took over for Berlusconi a year ago. I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
and finally, monti has fallen!!!!
Monti should finish on trail, he managed to destroy Italian economy and people in less then a year, I never seen country going down in such a speed, and EU is applauding for a job good done...please....
Monti did what had to be done. When he took his place Italy had a national debt of 125 % of his gross domestic product and payed nearly 7% taxes on 10 year government bonds. The reason: oh well, let's see who governed before Monti, right, Berlusconi. And in the years before, oh right, Berlusconi.
Who sustained Monti in doing, what he had to do, oh right, the usual Italian politicians. Also Berlusconi. You know, also the Italian parliament works with a majority vote. and all of them voted for Monti's reforms. Exspecially for uncommon ones. Uncommon for the Italy's people. A law against corruption of statesman/politicians was refused by those politicians. And did you know, what was actually the law, on which Berlusconi's party refues to sustain Monti anymore, oh right, a law against giving parliament members the right to stay in the parliament itself, who are indicted with any crime....
Italy is a sad country at the moment. Try to run the business if you can. Monti was talking, and only talking of growth, which growth...growth of taxes, growth of unemployment, growth of companies being shut everyday, growth of people who are not able to see future, growth of suicide rate out of desperation. I do not know where are you know, but in Italy at the moment there is not much of Dolce Vita thanks to his ingenious changes.
apparently you are not in touch with reality in italy. no sane person would contest that changes had to be made in the italian legal/political/economical system. berlusconi was running the country from his backpocket.. unfortunately nothing has changed since monti came to power. everything is nicely packaged as "liberating of markets" (labour,energy etc)but fundamentally nothing did change. for the sake of credit default swaps/spread bund etc (the actual speculative powers betting against italy,which brougt berlusconi down) monti is stripping italy dry. there is not a region unaffected by his policies. severe and extreme high taxes imposed on impovered italians, businesses shutting, house prices and sales which dropped in last year with more then 50%, banks that are no longer handing out necessary loans to private or corporates etc. the whole country is for sale, no more consumer trust, no more spending power everything is scaling down to pre worldwar 1 proportions. (unemplyment rates of 35% under 25yrs. by the way,talking about corruption how do you explain that taped telefone conversations inbetwwen the president of italy napolitano and some sicilian conncetions clearly caught him redhanded connected to the mafia.what happens, the monti gorvernment and the high court have these tapes declared illegal because they affringe the constitutional rights of the president, therefore should be destroyed. as if nobody heard what was on these tapes.monti ministers commenting the high court ruling as a victory for democracy.. world gone blind!!!!! the same mob is running the country, some things cant be changed in italy, wish they could. i severly hope that segregated italian society will face the common enemy monti and what is behind him, and send him on a holiday to end his days on lago di como..
I live and work in Italy since many years, but I'm German. And I can say, that's it's not Monti's fault. Since the days of tangentopoli nothing changed in Italy. And we can mainly thank Berlusconi for that. But now, Italy deserves a government like Monti's. 80 bln Euro lost due to corruption and 130 bln Euro due to evasion of taxes. Every year. That's also not Monti's fault. That's the failure of all Italians to adapt on rules&laws. From the barista, who doesn't give you a bill, the industry tycoon, who bunkers his money in Switzerland, to a functionary, that is used to get bribe money for every public work. We, and I mean us, who pay their taxes at the end of every month, sustain those people by buying from them or not press charges against them. There's your problem not in Monti. If it was me, I would have been much tighter, but I'm German as you know...
sorry i mistake, end his days on lago di garda, preferably salo...
Mr Silvio Berlusconi has had much more experience about turmoil politics of Italy. He knows very well what to do at the time of sceptcal politics. He dramatically supported Mario Monti's government being defeated by move of non-confidence votes in the parliament. He did it only to save himself from any allegation that could arise centring his reign. so he enjoyed the Mario Monti's intrim governance without any incubus but a tax fraudulence case's verdict was gone against him & after it maybe he withdrew his support from Monti's government. Mr. Berlusconi has a full life & energy in the politics indeed but one thing is more important for him not to split his party by claiming indisciplinary perceptions in the party. Italy needs an experienced politician like Mr. Silvio Berlusconi to keep its economy steady amid of global economic recession. Politically motivated cases shouldn't be the only incompetence to be a memeber for the national legislature. Mario Monti's government may face a reversible thrust owing to Mr. Silvio Berlusconi's departure from the Monti's government.
That's the comment of the year. you don't actually have any clue, who Berlusconi really is and what he has done for Italy. In every other European country Berlusconi would have spent some year in jail for tax fraud, bribery or or falsification of balances. About his politics: did you actually know, that Berlusconi governed Italy for eight out of the last ten years? In these eight years, five of those with the biggest majority, that Italian parliament has ever seen, he couldn't manage to reform Italy. No, furthermore he demolished Italy as no one did before. And you really are able to give him a "experienced politician"? Experienced in what? Saving his companies and his person with laws "ad personam" from juridical consequences.....
What a shame! Berlu! Italy is not any more a young attractive lady! Please change your target! Perhaps at the retirement home you may find some nice granny! Try it!

We have had so many compliments on this ottoman since we ordered it. After pricing ottomans for more than six months, I know that this one is well worth the low price and even a couple hundred dollars more! The round shape is great in our room. Beautiful tufting. The linen is more flax or burlap colored than beige, in my opinion, but that was actually better for our room. We love the shape of the legs, but decided to change the color. Since they arrive unattached, it was soooo easy to spray paint them before screwing them in. Just covered the wheels with Glad Press & Seal. (We used Rustoleum Universal paint & primer in one, in Oil Rubbed Bronze. A shade that looks gorgeous with the wheels!) Took less than 5 minutes to attach the legs. I highly recommend this ottoman.
I like the product and have seen it on other sites for more so the value was worth it. Nice size. I did scotch guard it to be on the safe side being its a solid color and you put your feet on it. Its too awkward to put a tray on it, to use it as a coffee table
This ottoman is top of the line in every way. Shipping was extremely fast. The shipping box it came in was built to withstand even the meanest most careless delivery person. The construction of the ottoman from the design to the fabric to the way all the buttons in the tufting lined up perfectly is super. I put MANY HOURS into my search. I am very picky about every thing I give a place in our home. There is just nothing that they could have done any better even the price thanks to O was excellent.Its really nice when you can buy things online with out being able to get up close feel and examine them that they turn out this well. If your looking for a well made ottoman at a good price ,look no further. ***
I bought this for my dressing room to sit on and put your shoes on. It's beautiful and comfy and was a great price.
I ordered the Florence beige which would have been a perfect color which my decor. I was sent taupe which did not match. Product was well made and I loved the legs! I only wish I could have received the product color that was advertised.
I have seen this same piece advertised for up to $500.00 more than whatw I paid for it. It is well constructed, the legs were a breeze to screw on, and the button-tufting is very classy. The surface is perfect for sitting, propping up your feet, or placing tray or laptop, although I would not trust beverages to keep their balance. Really terrific. Great value
This is the perfect go anywhere ottoman. It is very much as shown on the site. The size is substantial, the fabric looks very much like linen. I am very pleased with this purchase.

My Township Tour Experience in #lovecapetown
If you ask a young black man to go on a Township tour, the answer you'll get is usually a NO. 'I got out of the hood, why do you want to send me back"? That's the sentiment shared by most young black men such as myself. We aspire for a different reality and one with lavish surroundings at that, you know "the good life". I'm grossly exaggerating here but you get my persuasion, right?

Angkor Wat is the largest Hindu temple complex in the world. The temple was built by King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura , the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaivism tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.Text by Steve Smith.

Sunday report from the Beach. Onboard for the day were Clifford Ward and his son Ross. The wind was blowing from the west, but not too bad as we headed out into the Sound. At out first stop things started off slow till the big Reds showed up. After releasing the biggest and keeping a couple of the smaller ones we moved on. Got to the next rig and got into a good but short bite on some very nice Trout with Bayou Chubs and live shrimp under a cork. Next stop was instant monster Reds so we moved on. By now the wind was picking up and made it tough to get in a good position at our next stop, but on the second try we got on top of them and it was a blast. Here we fished with live shrimp and Bayou chubs on a Carolina rig. Big Trout were coming to the net along with a bunch of Sheepshead. We also caught and released a 15" Red Snapper while catching the Trout. The fish box was cram packed with fish and we had a long rough boat ride into the wind ahead so we called it a day and left them biting. The guys had a great time and went home with a cooler full of fillets. Total take home for the day was 50 Trout (2-4 pounds), 17 Heads, 4 Reds, and 2 Drum.
WE HAVE 4 BOATS WAITING TO TAKE YOU ON YOUR NEXT FISHING ADVENTURE. OUR LODGE SLEEPS 19 ANGLERS, just steps from the boats. Check out the photos of the quality fish we have been on. Give us a call at 504 887 4960 or 504 881 9966 (cell). You'll be glad that you did!!

Yesterday, the Mozilla Foundation released the first early beta of Firefox that includes its new Australis "user experience"—a retooling of the browser interface that dramatically pares down what is surfaced to users. The latest Nightly build of Firefox version 28 is the first complete implementation of the new interface's tabs and top menu behavior.
Further Reading
Some of the streamlining elements of Australis had already shipped with earluer releases, such as the hidden the "forward" button. Unless you've hit the "back" button to navigate to a previous page in browser history, the "forward" button is hidden. It only appears when there's something to go forward to, so it doesn't take up real estate as a grayed-out button when it's not needed. The "streamlining" of the Downloads toolbar button, which doubles as a download progress bar when a download is active, also shipped out in advance of the full Australis interface.
A new change with this Nightly is the addition of a visual pop-up menu launched from the "Customize and Control" button on the far right side of the browser's toolbar. This feature isn't included in Firefox's current release (version 25), but it should be familiar to Google Chrome users. The menu provides quick access to basic features like cut, copy and paste, printing, and history in a form that looks like it's optimized for touch.
By clicking "Customize" in the menu, you can add additional functionality buttons to the drop-down menu or to the toolbar itself. This allows you to decide whether you want add-ons like Twitter and Google Plus integration or other features to always be visible. Otherwise, you can hide them away for access in two clicks instead of one.
Update: A bug in my particular install caused "Do Not Track" to be set on in the browser. That's not, as I initially reported, a feature being pushed out with Firefox 28—use of "Do Not Track" is still left to the user to configure, a Mozilla spokesperson confirmed.
Sean Gallagher
The new nightly build of Firefox features a new tab design that makes it easier to spot which tab you're actually viewing.

Leatherman Style PS
At 1.6 oz, the Style PS is an ultralight multi-tool that has EVERYTHING a hiker could want…except a knife blade. (Oops!) Let me start with a story… I am in the St. Louis REI, with an hour to kill before a flight to Boulder, CO. I am staring at a wall of multi-tools—Leatherman, Gerber, Swiss—way too many choices. What I really want to find is a sub-3oz tool with both pliers and scissors. After 45 minutes of comparison shopping, I select the Style PS and head to the airport. A few hours later,… Full review

Best EDC knife imo. 84mm so it leaves place in pocket. Discrete worn clipped on belt. No useless accessories. After many sak, this is the one!!! Full review
Lansky Blademedic Knife Sharpener
Maybe we are leaving out of this that some knives get SO dull that the first step must be a reshaping with a file. Then go to the fine stuff for that final edge. This looks like a really well featured version of a number of available knife sharpening tools, but a small file is called for with a very dull/nicked blade, so don't expect miracles folks. Full review
Lansky Blademedic Knife Sharpener
Inexpensive, small knife sharpener. From pocket knives to serrated edges to gut hooks, it comes in handy for many uses. Has brought two pocket knives back to life, though be careful as it can seem small for larger hands. I wouldn't recommend for anything bigger than 6" long knife. Background I've previously only owned a whetstone which I used on pocket knives and kitchen knives, but never used on any other knife (say, with a serrated edge) or any other hook or hooked-shaped implement. When used… Full review
Leatherman Squirt PS4
Though small in size, this is still a serious tool. It is well-made and has the diminutive heft of pocket-sized tool that is meant to be more than an ornament. Its chief limitation is its size, which is also its chief virtue. An excellent option for small repair jobs, removing a hot pot from a fire, or similar tasks. Great for everyday carry as well as backpacking. The quest for the perfect backpacking multi-tool is one in which many of my friends have engaged. Trying to find the perfect balance… Full review
Leatherman Style CS
The Leatherman Style CS is an inexpensive, good quality basic multi-tool. It comes with a knife, scissors, tweezers, nail file, flat screw driver and bottle opener that fits easily in your pocket or clips onto your pack so you can quickly find it when needed. A while back I was re-evaluating my gear, looking for ways to reduce what I carry. I came across three pieces (a small folding knife, tweezers and scissors) that I don't use often and always carry. I wondered if I could find a small multi-tool… Full review

Giving from the heart
The Community Blood Bank's blood drive last week at Avera Dell Rapids Area Hospital pushed Dell Rapids' giving total over the 4,800-pint mark.With about 30 more donations Thursday – inclement weather forced an early departure - at the first of four stops in Dell Rapids this year, the Community Blood Bank Executive Director Ken Versteeg said the partnership with the hospital here continues to be a big contributor for the regional blood bank, which serves both Avera and Sanford medical facilities.Versteeg said more than 600 gallons of blood have been donated during the 85 stops the Community Blood Bank's blood mobile has made in Dell Rapids since 1992.The human body holds about a gallon of blood, he added.Travis Andersen, supervisor with Community Blood Bank, said donors in Dell Rapids are as loyal as they come."It's a really good community as far as getting up to donate," he said. "Dell Rapids really supports the Community Blood Bank."Nearly anyone can donate blood as long as they are at least 17 years old, or 16 with a parent consent form, and in good health. Before the donation process begins, potential donors are required to complete a 31-question survey.

Case | HBS Case Collection | August 2001 (Revised January 2015) SonoSite: A View Inside Clayton Christensen and Jeremy Dann After its spin-off from one of the world's largest ultrasound makers, Sonosite attempts to popularize a new kind of handheld ultrasound units. Sonosite needs to decide if it should focus on new markets that will value the portability and ease of use of its products, or if it should evolve its offerings so that they appeal to radiologists and cardiologists, the largest purchasers of ultrasound systems.

Case | HBS Case Collection | September 2009 (Revised September 2014) OnStar: Not Your Father's General Motors Clayton M. Christensen After two years of less than stellar performance resulting in sales well below plan, senior management at General Motors (GM) mobile telecommunications service start-up, OnStar, recognized that without a substantial change in their strategy, support for the venture would dwindle. Chet Huber (HBS 1979) faced one of the toughest decisions of his career. He had to decide whether to press GM executives to approve a plan to factory install OnStar hardware on every vehicle it manufactured—a new strategy requiring a dramatic increase in the corporation's commitment to the struggling technology venture. The alternative would be to continue with the current strategy of selling OnStar as an aftermarket product at GM dealerships. GM produced over five million new vehicles a year. Installing OnStar on every vehicle could exponentially increase the subscriber base but would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and lead to an unknown number of changes both within OnStar and at GM factories.

Case | HBS Case Collection | July 2014 (Revised August 2014) AmazonFresh: Rekindling the Online Grocery Market Rory McDonald, Clayton Christensen, Robin Yang and Ty Hollingsworth More than a decade after the high-profile failures of several early online grocers, grocery remains the largest single U.S. retail category and one of the few that has not yet migrated online. Amazon began testing its grocery-delivery service, AmazonFresh, in Seattle, in 2007; five years later, the company has made significant progress. The case traces the evolution of AmazonFresh's business model and describes the operating capabilities necessary to compete with brick-and-mortar supermarkets like Wal-Mart and Safeway and with new digital grocery startups. Now Amazon needs to decide on AmazonFresh's next step. Should the company continue refining its business model in Seattle or expand to another city? What factors should it take into account when planning its next move?

Great looking Chair These chairs are very good looking and although I haven't had them too long, the quality seems very good. The best part of these chairs is that they come fully assembled and you don't have to worry about holes not aligning or screws coming loose which is common in chairs that come in pieces.

I am not sure what to think of a He-Ro sub, but I know regardless that I would be all in for it, just like everything else!
Would you guys subscribe to a He-Ro: Son of He-Man mini-sub?

I am not sure what to think of a He-Ro sub, but I know regardless that I would be all in for it, just like everything else!
No. Because it's not really He-Man or MOTU. It's a failed pitch that went nowhere and now Scott is using as a vehicle for his writing. I'm totally against this.
After every wanted character from legitimate cannon in MOTU, PoP, NA, MYP, Filmation, Jetlag, Mini-Comics, vintage comics, vintage international, Golden Books, Ladybird, and the '87 movie get made, then Scott can experiment with his new creations.
Last edited by King Tamusk; May 6, 2013 at 02:26am.
Sure. I buy almost everything else. And I actually want Kay-La and "Man-E-Faces".
Lol. I feel the same in a sense. But as long as TG ain't designing the characters, I'm game. As long as the toys are cool, it doesn't matter what the official canon is. I flex my own imagination with these things.
I'd get it if it were offered, though I'm really only interested in He-Ro II and "Son of Skeletor".
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
I actually don't want more mini subs. Any subscriber wants everything that the line may offer. I'd stick with 1 figure per month plus 4 quarterly as the good old days back in 2009/2010.
Having the expense of $50/75 plus shipping monthly is like boating on tar to have a complete collection

Not as a mini-sub, unless there was no other mini-sub at the sane time. (I wish there'd been a "maybe" option...)
I'm quite gung-ho on getting more SOHM characters. I really need Dare, He-Ro 2, Queen Teela, Son of Skeletor/Skeleteen, Kay-La, and I'd love the SOHM version of MEF. Some of teh other characters in the Filmation pitch would be cool, too.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Honestly, I have no connection or interest in the He-Ro: Son of He-Man characters/figures or sub line. I would need to see them have some sort of media for me to decide if I liked them and the figures would need to be awesome. Never say never, but I doubt it.
The Lurkiest
**Somebody please make me a Staghorn**
Yup, I'm a putz and they've got me pretty much on whatever they produce for this line, including old rejected concepts.
And I know that sounded sarcastic, but it's not.
Hahaha! No chance!
I voted no because I don't really want it to happen. However, I'm sure I probably would buy it if it was offered. I really don't think this would prove popular enough to happen, though.
I would love to see the story expanded forward and have new characters introduced. However, I am hesitant that a Son of He-Man mini-sub would be the best way to do this. I think we need a good story that naturally introduces and develops characters over time. Create a solid story for SOHM and let us WANT the characters before trying to sell us figures.
And for the love of all that is good, write better names than Skeleteen. Seriously. I accept that he was called that, but old names do not equal good names.
I can't afford any SUBS.
That said, I would really like a HE-RO and a KAYLA before all is said and done.
Always Expect the Unexpected!
I'd be so thrilled to have many new characters. I like a lot of the concept characters foe SOH
like Slob-Bor, Missle-Toe, Kay-La & many others that would be all new.
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
of course I would. I am not only very excited about the idea of the MOTU universe moving ahead, but an avid MOTU fan and collector. So what would I not like about the idea of this?
I'd consider cherry picking figures like Fangor or Great Black Wizard, but I have zero interest in the principle characters. The idea is weak and silly, and the designs are poor.

Installed this yesterday on LinuxMint with an HD6870 that drives dual 23" monitors and so far no issues.
"This release of AMD Catalyst Linux introduces support for the following new operating systems.
Ubuntu 12.10 early look support
RHEL 6.3 production support"
Are they trolling us..?
From what I read it might be a decent release, although I hoped I could run it on quantal already .. :/
It does NOT work on Ubuntu 12.10.
I tried it on Kubuntu 12.10, and the X server will fail to load when it tries to load the fglrx module.
AMD stupidity continues.
I have a Geforce GTX 560 in the mail that should arrive tomorrow. This Catalyst nonsense will no longer be an issue.
I was hoping that AMD would get their open source strategy in full swing, but they seem to have abandoned r600/evergreen a while ago.
My guess is that Catalyst would stop supporting my 5000 series card before the open source driver is a capable replacement.
Let's not give up all hope, it's still beta. It might work fine on xorg 1.13 and Ubuntu 12.10 by final version .. Hopefully ..!
Besides, it's not that easy to switch graphics card on my laptop now .. xD
It figures that Catalyst has just started to behave right after I decided to go with Nvidia this time. The last two years with Catalyst has been a complete disaster and their open source driver is not fit to run anything much past desktop effects.
I give up.
I know that my Nvidia card is never guaranteed to have a credible open source alternative to Forceware (or whatever they are calling that now, my last Nvidia card with from the 9000 series), but it doesn't appear that AMD will either.
I went to test out a Kubuntu 12.10 image today, excited that this Catalyst 12.9 beta might #%#$ing work, like, you know, their release notes said it would, but AMD has jacked me around again.
I see the open source driver has inched forwards again, but it still has no fan control and my computer sounds like it is about to take off and fly around the room.
I'm counting the hours left until I can rip this Radeon card out and replace it with something that supports the new distributions well before they are officially released. Among other things, like, not interfering with Wine.
I also understand that Nvidia supported direct rendering under kwin before that was officially released too.
The Catalyst team is a day late and a dollar short every time. If it was just one thing they were doing with their Linux driver that was incompetent, I might not have to come down as hard on them, but it's just so messed up in so many ways.
Oh yeah, Nvidia has public betas quite frequently, and I never remembered them painting a FOR TESTING USE ONLY thing on my desktop that I had to figure out how to remove.
This version doesn't look good for me. I have intel+amd switchable graphics in my laptop. So fglrx not only doesn't support x-server 1.13 but also doesn't work with newest intel drivers (>=2.20.3). Also I noticed that fglrx requires relatively old versions of Mesa (8.0.4).
By the way, does anybody know about news of the seamless support of switchable graphics in fglrx? It would be great to have something like bumblebee for amd cards.
It seems the guys from Ubuntu already solved the issue for xorg-server 1.13:
Can anybody else try and confirm it?
Yes, that's true. fglrx driver for Xserver 1.13 support is already available in Ubuntu 12.10 repository.
I made deb package for Ubuntu quantal, it compiles good, install OK but nothing more, unity crash at launch, no 3D acceleration.

The worst kind of person. You cannot fully construct a meaning that fully encompasses what this vicious insult means. If you're an asshole, you are disgusting, loathesome, vile, distasteful, wrathful, belligerent, agoraphobic, and more. Assholes are human fecal matter. They are the lowest of the low. They transcend all forms of immorality. It is the very worst of insults; to be called an asshole is to have your very soul ripped apart and shat on. I say that the word "asshole" is the worst cussword of the english language, worst than fuck, shit, and cunt combined.
