Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders
Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders (Paperback)
A mysterious circus terrifies an audience for one extraordinary performance before disappearing into the night. . . .
In a Hugo Awardwinning story, a great detective must solve a most unsettling royal murder in a strangely altered Victorian England. . . .
Two teenage boys crash a party and meet the girls of their dreamsand nightmares. . . .
These marvelous creations and more showcase the unparalleled invention and storytelling brillianceas well as the terrifyingly dark and entertaining sense of humorof the incomparable Neil Gaiman. By turns delightful, disturbing, and diverting, Fragile Things is a gift of literary enchantment from one of the most original writers of our time.
About the Author
Neil Gaiman has written award-winning books for children and adults, including the Newbery Medal-winning novel The Graveyard Book and Coraline, Stardust, and Odd and the Frost Giants. His picture books include Instructions and Blueberry Girl, illustrated by Charles Vess; The Wolves in the Walls, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, and Crazy Hair, illustrated by Dave McKean; and The Dangerous Alphabet, illustrated by Gris Grimly. A baby giant panda once sat on his lap and ate bamboo in Chengdu, China.
Praise for Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders…
"A prodigiously imaginative collection . . . The best of these clever fantasy metafictions explore the mysteries of artistic inspiration."
-New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice
"[Gaiman] is a one-man story engine. . . . FRAGILE THINGS is a delightful compendium . . . [Gaiman] is indeed a national treasure."
-Washington Post Book World
"Strange, or sweet, or eerie, or heartfelt stories . . . wonderfully peculiar . . . Gaiman relishes the sacred act of telling stories."
-Entertainment Weekly
"The tales of FRAGILE THINGS are nibbles and bits of Gaiman's immensely satisfying inner landscape. They are fiercely playful and very grim, wisps of whimsy and wonder buoyed by the happy heart of a tragic poet."
-USA Today
"A powerful and oddly unified collection, a perfect introduction to Gaiman's work for new readers and a thrilling reminder to his long-time fans . . . [T]he shorter prose form allows Gaiman a greater freedom of whimsy and provocation than even his graphic work, with stunning results."
-Toronto Star
"Those with a taste for inventive idiosyncracy will find themselves fully rewarded."
-San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"One delight after another."
-Booklist (starred review)

Comments about FROGG TOGGS Chilly Bean Cooling Hat:
I bought the full ChillyBean hat, not the one that just has a partial cooling pad on top and is less expensive. I was quite skeptical when the salesperson told me about this product, until I came home and started using the hat per instructions. It stays moist and cools for several hours and it's comfortable to wear. When it dries out, it hardens and doesn't feel as comfortable. I'm glad I bought it.

Final Score: Toledo 34, Wyoming 31
Laramie, WY (Sports Network) - Terrance Owens threw for 300 yards and four touchdowns as the Toledo Rockets held off the Wyoming Cowboys, 34-31, in a non-conference thriller at War Memorial Stadium.
Bernard Reedy caught six passes for 111 yards and two scores and David Fluellen rushed for 109 yards on 22 carries for Toledo (1-1), which bounced back from an overtime loss to Arizona last week. Along with his impressive game through the air Owens, who hit on 25-of-41, also racked up 74 yards on the ground.
Brett Smith completed 20-of-28 pass attempts for 339 yards and a pair of touchdowns but was intercepted twice for Wyoming (0-2). Smith also rushed for 62 yards and Dominic Rufran had 102 yards on only three receptions.
Wyoming took an early lead as a 38-yard scoring strike from Smith to Rufran gave the Cowboys a 7-0 advantage less than two minutes into the opening quarter.
Jeremiah Detmer knocked through a 28-yard field goal to bring Toledo's deficit to 7-3 midway through the first quarter.
Wyoming extended its lead to 14-3 before the quarter was over with another Smith touchdown pass, this one being a 19-yard toss to Jalen Claiborne.
Toledo finally found the end zone in the second quarter, scoring on a 35-yard pass from Owens to Reedy. The score capped an 11-play, 75-yard drive for the Rockets.
Owens connected with Cassius McDowell for a 13-yard passing score on Toledo's next drive to give the Rockets their first lead of the game, 17-14.
That lead didn't last however, as Stuart Williams added a pair of field goals (23 and 42 yards) before halftime, giving the Cowboys a 20-17 lead after two quarters.
On its first drive of the second half, Toledo regained the lead, going up 24-20 on 35-yard hook up between Owens and Reedy. Detmer then connected on a 30-yard field goal late in the third quarter, giving the Rockets a 27-20 lead going into the final quarter.
Five seconds into the fourth quarter, Wyoming got a 26-yard field goal off the foot of Williams to pull within four, 27-23.
Toledo took a double-digit lead, 34-23, on a four-yard touchdown pass from Owens to James Green midway through the quarter but Wyoming would not go down quietly.
The Cowboys scored on a three-yard touchdown reception by Riley Lange and added a two-point conversion to pull within a field goal, 34-31.
After forcing a punt from Toledo, Wyoming got the ball back at its own 15-yard line with 2:05 remaining, but it turned the ball over on downs. Toledo then took over and ran out the clock to escape with the win.
The Pokes converted a mere 3-of-12 on third-down attempts and controlled the ball for just 4:30 in the fourth quarter.

The BBT-30.3 includes a bearing remover, which slides through the bottom bracket shell and into the bearing so it can be tapped out with a hammer. The set also includes two installation bushings #668 designed for the BB30 and PF30 bearings. The bushings are used in conjunction with an HHP-2 or HHP-3 Bearing Cup Press to press the bearings into the frame.

Comments about Park Tool BBT-30.3:
I have done installation and removal of PF30 bottom brackets with this tool twice so far. It's easy and does no damage to the bearings or housing. Although the installation presses are supposed to be used with Park's headset installation tool, I used them with $4 of commonly available hardware instead: a threaded bar, nuts and washers. No problems.

Comments about Park Tool BBT-30.3:
If you own a bike with a BB-30 bottom bracket, you need this tool.
Makes bearing removal easy and safe -- it's almost impossible to mar your frame when you use the removal tool.
The BB-30 press adapters are a nice touch. You need some variation of a headset press to use them, however.

RYAN VREDE reports on a 31-8 victory for the Springboks over Australia at Loftus in which they produced the type of performance they hope will become commonplace.
The Springboks were good, but hold your unbridled praise. The result was not unexpected. This was the weakest Wallabies side the Springboks have faced in their last nine encounters, and at a venue they have never won at. The measure of these Springboks will come against the All Blacks in a week.
The Wallabies were never in this one, a brutal and organised defensive effort blunting their ambitions. It is in this facet of play that most Test matches will be won and lost. That the Wallabies scored once (through a slipped hit) gives me more joy than the bonus-point the Springboks earned.
And they could have and should have won by more, six missed kicks and host of squandered try-scoring chances ensuring that the scoreline flattered the Wallabies.
However, it would grossly remiss not to applaud this win, particularly since it provided reasons for optimism in some key areas.
Flyhalf Johan Goosen will have better Tests, but he certainly isn't an impostor at this level. His tears during the anthem humanised the kid many what to believe has supernatural ability. He showed his rawness with two hooked penalties, too lateral a running line and poor option-taking at times. But he also stirred hope of a bright attacking future with a couple of linebreaks and generally slick play. He doesn't have Henry Honiball's defensive punch and will be targeted by their opposition, but he isn't a defensive liability and his attacking skill makes up for what he lacks there.
Then there's the Boondock Saints – Francois Louw and Duane Vermeulen – who hunted in tandem, both outstanding at the gainline and on the deck. They lend the Springboks an air of menace and mongrel, with their efforts amplified by an industrious and highly effective pack.
What else? Ruan Pienaar looked composed and sharp. Andries Bekker was influential at the lineouts and in general play, Jaco Taute was impressive defensively in the most difficult channel for this discipline, and Bryan Habana reconfirmed that has left the fraud he was under Peter de Villiers behind him with a throwback effort.
And their much-maligned game plan? The tactical kicking was poor…when they did kick. This was a wholly different approach from the Springboks, a more expansive one than we've become used to. This doesn't, however, herald the start of a bold new era from Heyneke Meyer's men. The Wallabies allowed them to play in this manner. The Blacks will demand a tighter approach. They are some way off mastering either, but there are signs that should encourage.
Their rolling maul is unmatched by any team in the game, and it was from this platform that they opened the scoring, with a touch of tactical intelligence (two decoy runners) creating space for Zane Kirchner to score in the corner. Pienaar had taken over the goal-kicking responsibility from Goosen and duly banked the touchline conversion.
The Springboks were in business again seven minutes later after Habana finished a disjointed move that went right then snapped left. Pienaar's conversion attempt struck the post and the teams went down the tunnel with the hosts leading 14-3, Kurtley Beale's penalty all the Wallabies could muster in the face of an immense defensive effort.
The Wallabies huffed and puffed after the restart but the Springboks killed their ambition superbly, first Louw peeling off the back of another unstoppable rolling maul to score, then Habana catching them napping with a quick lineout feed to Adriaan Strauss, who drew a defender and offloaded to put the winger away.
The Springboks' defensive intensity and precision tapered off in the closing stages, allowing the visitors to breach their tryline, but they never seriously threatened a comeback. With time nearly up the Springboks launched another expansive assault, this time Louw finding Habana with a left-pass most elite scrumhalves would be proud to boast.
The Springboks will believe this performance is a good example of what they can achieve when things click, and they'll be right. But there is a sterner examination ahead in the form of the world champions. For now, however, they deserve to be lauded on the strength of this showing.

RSVP Card
This turned out just like how we designed it. I was pleased with the paper quality & that we didn't need an extra envelope for our guests to send it back. This way we used as a post card.
Guest Information card
This turned out just like we designed it. I wasn't sure about the white type on the green, but it shows up great!
I loved this invitation! The colors were perfect & I love circles. The photo came out great, the only issue I had is that the because of the circles, the print is a little hard to read in some spots. I tried to get a more bold print & it helped. I am very happy with our invitations.
I just received my save the dates and they are perfect! The colors are exactly the colors in my wedding and the style is what I expected. In addition, I contacted customer service regarding a question I had and I was contacted right away. I would definitely recommend Magnet Street as well as the save the date I used! Thanks!!!!
Very Good
Honestly, these were the least expensive save the date magnets that I found, so I was worried that I was going to sacrifice quality. On top of that, I accidentally ordered without getting a proof! But, the magnets turned out super cute and we get lots of compliments on them. Also, I found that it was very easy to design and customize the magnet - I had tried other websites and I did not find this to be the case. Overall, I'm very happy with the magnets. Another plus, is that the company shipped the magnets with a bunch of sample invitations and other items you might need. Obviously, this is an effective marketing tool, but I also found it very nice that they would add this to the order.

Healthy Eating
Healthy Eating
Healthy eating, unlike fad diets, involves making healthy food choices and establishing a well-balanced diet. Research has shown that following a healthy eating plan can reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure and lower an already elevated blood pressure.
A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats while low in saturated fat, cholesterol and refined carbohydrates is the foundation of a healthy diet. And, can help lower the risk of developing diabetes, some cancers, heart attack and stroke. Along with exercise, healthy eating is part of an overall lifestyle of healthy living.

Most religions have taught the separation between God or gods and human lives. Thus, people believe that they are only pawns of some external, irrational force and that there is no reason or rational explanation for how things happen in the world.
The amount of which anyone is subject to the seemingly irrational force of God depends upon one's direct relationship to God (or spiritual energy if you're a Taoist.) The farther away you are, the more irrational it seems. The closer you are to the spiritual energy (or God), the more you have control over it.
Thus, the goal of religions or spiritual teachings differs depending upon how close or how far an individual is from God.
If a person is distant, then spiritual teaching is mostly for emotional relief. If a person is closer, the teaching shows how to integrate the energy or force as a part of one's life.

VIRGINIA BEACH (AP) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting a federal interest determination study of the Lynnhaven Inlet in Virginia Beach as part of an effort to reduce costs associated with maintaining federal navigation channels in Virginia.
Officials say the study will determine if annual maintenance costs and damage to structures on the channel can be reduced by using jetties or a combination of coastal structures.
The inlet on the Chesapeake Bay requires annual dredging of dangerous shoaling and full maintenance-dredging about every three years. It provides access to the bay and Atlantic Ocean for commercial fishing vessels, charter fishing boats, as well as a wide variety of recreational vessels.

To discuss and catalyze innovative actions to address the Bushmeat crisis, the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG) worked with the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF) on a March 2001 meeting held at World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The meeting identified potential areas for collaborative action in Africa on long-term and short-term solutions to the Bushmeat crisis including:
1) Sustainable funding for wildlife conservation and protected area management
2) Policy at the international, national and local levels
3) Development of Bushmeat modules for the three regional wildlife training colleges in Africa
4) Development of linkages between NGOs, the private sector, local communities, and governments
5) Urban market/ access route control and monitoring
6) Protected area strengthening
7) Market-seller and hunter management groups
8) Alternative protein
9) Alternative income-generating activities.
Items discussed included gaps in knowledge and on-the-ground action as well as potential collaborators not currently engaged in the process of addressing the Bushmeat crisis. This meeting served as a precursor to the May BCTF Action Planning Conference.

|AllSports Medicine and Rays Make Coaches Clinic A Big Hit At Tropicana Field
Tropicana Field is home to one of the best pitching rotations in all of baseball, but Saturday morning the stadium played host to an impressive rotation of a different kind.
Some 40 Little League, travel ball and high school baseball coaches rotated between three stations, soaking up a wealth of important information, insight and techniques on how to protect young pitching arms at the "Coaches Clinic" – courtesy of AllSports Medicine at All Children's Hospital and members of the Tampa Bay Rays coaching and training staff.
By all signs, the seminar on reducing pitching-related injuries was a hands-down hit.
"This is incredible, just learning how to develop arms and cut down on injuries," said St. Petersburg-based travel ball coach David Thompson, a travel ball coach for 10-year-olds. "A lot of this stuff reinforces what I already believe, but nevertheless it's great to hear these presentations and learn more. It's too bad there aren't 1,000 people here to hear it. It's just so important, because some of the little kids won't be able to play when they're 18."
Added Admiral Farragut Academy head trainer Arielle Gaydosh: "It was really helpful. I especially enjoyed listening to Ron's presentation, obviously, because he's an athletic trainer. It was cool to see some of the rehab exercises I could start doing with my kids. But the whole event was amazing. And it was good to have a chance to meet (AllSports Medicine medical director) Dr. Mularoni and some of the other doctors."
The AllSports presentations were packed with detailed descriptions of what causes physiological problems on the field – and ways they can be avoided. Dr. Mularoni made reference to noted pro sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews and his recent book, Any Given Monday:
"In his book, Dr. Andrews basically called it an epidemic, what our generation is doing to the next generation. Things have changed. Children are specializing in sport at a much, much younger age. Nowadays, you think of the players on your team and many of them just play baseball. If you're a lacrosse player, you just play lacrosse. If you're a swimmer, you just swim. And that early specialization on that growing body is not good for that growing body.
"These kids are not taking an off season. When I see these kids in the AllSports medicine clinic and they come in with a shoulder problem, I ask them if they're a pitcher and when was the last time they didn't play. They say, 'Oh, I took two weeks off in August last year.' I say, 'No, when's the last time you didn't have a season?' Some of them say, three to five years."
Dr. Mularoni also identified another factor in the added stress on young arms: "guesting." That occurs when a player from another team is invited in as a stand-in pitcher, for instance, on a travel ball team playing a heavy schedule. "That kid will go to Orlando on a given weekend and the coach will throw his arm out, and then he'll come back to you – and you've got to use him as well," he explained. "So guest pitching or catching is a problem."
Porterfield, meanwhile, was delighted with the event and hopeful it will have an impact.
"This is where it starts – with kids," he said. "If you can develop some good habits with them, then hopefully those kids will want to stay with it and will play in high school and maybe college – or wherever their talent level takes them. It's important that they learn to do things the right way here. They're playing all year long, and you're seeing a lot more overuse injuries, significant injuries."
Learning how to strike them out, through educational forums like the Coaches Clinic, is now the name of the game.

JON CARDINELLI speaks to assistant coach Matt Proudfoot about the Stormers' struggles at the lineout and how they plan to improve ahead of their meeting with the Cheetahs.
Head coach Allister Coetzee has described last Saturday's performance as the worst of the season. While accuracy and intensity were sadly lacking, the most disappointing aspect of that defeat was the Stormers' failure to handle the pressure.
The Bulls kicked relentlessly on the Stormers' back three, hassled the home side at the breakdown and contested strongly at the lineouts. It was in the latter facet of play where Victor Matfield showed his experience, effecting some telling steals and infiltrating the minds of the Stormers' decision makers. As Matfield and the Bulls increased the pressure, the Stormers eventually cracked.
'We used a new lineout system for that Bulls match and we had done our homework, but unfortunately our execution just wasn't good enough,' Proudfoot told keo.co.za. 'We began to feel the pressure and obviously didn't do a good job of dealing with it.
'It's something we spoke about at length when we got together at training on Tuesday. Hopefully that Bulls game will act as a learning experience. In the big games, you have to be able to handle the pressure.'
Proudfoot is confident that the Stormers will be up for the Cheetahs' challenge in Bloemfontein this week. The central franchise has always had a reputation for their lineout prowess, and may fancy themselves after seeing the Stormers outplayed by the Bulls.
'They're a team that loves to mix it up. On attack they vary their play very well, and on defence they look to disrupt the opposition throw and then attack from the turnvovers.
'It will be a very different challenge to the one we experienced at Newlands last week. The Bulls are more structured and you more or less know what to expect, but the Cheetahs are an entirely different prospect. If we don't improve our accuracy, they will kill us with those turnovers.
'The Cheetahs try to pressure you at the set-piece and force you to concede possession, and then that's when a guy like [scrumhalf] Sarel Pretorius comes into play. He's very good at getting in behind the defence and then their ball carriers are difficult to stop.'
Proudfoot said he was pleased with Stormers' scrummaging effort in last week's match but expects something different from the Cheetahs. The Bloemfontein side boast some impressive players in Coenie Oosthuizen, Adriaan Strauss and WP Nel, and the scrum is coached by Bok front-row legend Os du Randt.
'We will take some momentum into this game after that solid showing against the Bulls,' Proudfoot said. 'It's crucial that we do well against the Cheetahs, who are a very well coached side. I'm sure they'll have a few tricks up their sleeve, so once again, we've got to handle that pressure.'

great quality
I went back and forth about what save the date to get when my sister sent me this one as a joke. It made me smile and that is when I realized, even though we are having a more formal wedding doesn't mean we can't have fun with our save the dates. After designing it online I was concerned that it would come and the quality wouldn't be that great. Maybe the pictures of us would be to.dark or blurry. But the images are clear and bright. The card stock is heavy and the colors were true. Love it. Totally recommend. Everyone who has seen it has smiled as well!
Beautiful card and fast service!

East Coast kings College Rovers had a fantastic year in 2006, winning all but one major tournament they competed in. Only one team stood in the way of a perfect Rovers season and, unfortunately, that particular team cost them the national title.
Beating the men from Potchefstroom proved one challenge too many, as Pukke ran out deserved 33-21 winners in the final of the National Club Championship in Stellenbosch. This was the first time the Durban-based side had reached a national final in their illustrious 117-year history. They were dominated in the tight exchanges by their Pukke counterparts, which prevented them from establishing any sort of momentum, although they were able to run in three tries through Guy Ranger, Guthrie Hall and Wesley Bodmer.
Up to this point, Rovers had enjoyed a solid tournament, the highlight being a clinical performance in their 39-13 win over Welkom Rovers in the semi-finals. They took their opportunities in the first half, with winger Ryan Hartslief scoring a brace, and the defence throughout was exemplary. The back row was also prominent at the breakdown and ensured Welkom Rovers were limited to slow ball on attack.
It was a shame Rovers could not repeat this effort against Pukke in the final, but few people in Durban would dispute they did their province proud in Stellenbosch. As far as their recent triumphs are concerned, the First XV completed the double in the KwaZulu-Natal Premier Division last year. Rovers were awarded the Moore Cup for topping the league as well as the Murray Cup for winning the knockout competition. This success trickled down to the lower leagues, with the Second XV, women's team and both U20 sides winning their respective divisions. It seems that there is no shortage of talent down on the Berea, and recent results confirm the club as a forerunner in the region in recent times.
Twenty-two Springboks have either been produced by or later represented Rovers over the years. The lengthy list includes Cecil Moss, Alf Walker, Harry Newton-Walker, Bill Zeller, Michael 'Musch' Antelme, Paul Johnson, Jack Gage, Peter Swanson, Guy Kebble, James Small, Pieter Muller, Robbie Kempson, Joel Stransky, Jeremy Thomson, Toks van der Linde, Gary Teichmann, Chris Rossouw, Gaffie du Toit, Lukas von Biljon, Dave von Hoesslin, AJ Venter, Butch James and Stefan Terblanche. Ian McIntosh and Moss are two Rovers men who have coached the Springboks.
During their prolific run in 2006, many of the younger players were rewarded with a call-up to the Sharks in the Super 14 and Currie Cup. Craig Burden, Keegan Daniel, Ryan Kankowski, JC Strauss and Andrew Binikos all had an opportunity in the black and white last year, while other regulars in the provincial set up such as Sandile Nxumalo and Grant Rees are also valued members of this club.
Rovers aren't short on depth either, as they currently have 12 players in the KwaZulu-Natal Amateur team, three in the U21 squad and 10 in the U19 squad. Kankowski is one of the club's biggest success stories at the moment, having represented SA U21 at the World Championship in France and the national Sevens side. To everybody's surprise, the gifted youngster kept the likes of
Bob Skinstad out of the Sharks' starting line-up early in the Super 14. Skinstad may be easing into his comeback, but the Sharks still have plenty of quality loose forwards, and it says much for Kankowski's talent that he is entrusted with such a pivotal role at
the back of the scrum.
Philip Smit will coach Rovers again this season, and the former Natal and Bok lock is undoubtedly aiming to add that elusive national trophy to the cluttered Rovers cabinet. Pre-season preparations are well under way, with both the senior side and the U20s back from a tour to East London where they played matches against Cambridge and Old Selbornians.
With plenty of depth and a strong winning culture, Rovers are set to build on their impressive form of 2006. The numbers coming through at the junior levels compensate for those moving on to greater things, and it is no wonder Sharks rugby is in such a healthy state when its top clubs are thriving in such a manner.

The ASPCA applauds the White House for taking a stand this week against local laws targeting certain dog breeds. We have worked for years to fight these unjust and ineffective laws, known as breed-specific legislation or "BSL." The Centers for Disease Control, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Bar Association all agree that BSL does not prevent dog bites or enhance public safety.
BSL is counterproductive. Rather than give up their beloved pets, owners of restricted breeds often attempt to hide their "outlaw" dogs by restricting time outdoors and even limiting vet visits. Actions like these, taken to avoid detection, can have negative consequences for both public and canine health.
Studies have concluded that correctly identifying a dog's breed based on looks alone is a hit-or-miss proposition—and the confusion only grows when dealing with mixed breeds, so these laws are difficult to enforce. Additionally, animal control officers in jurisdictions with BSL end up spending too much time enforcing breed bans instead of routine enforcement of dog licensing laws, leash laws and other regulations that require owners to control their dogs−regardless of breed.
The ASPCA is currently fighting breed discrimination in Massachusetts and Maryland. On the national scale, residents of public housing funded by the federal government are often impacted by rules that unfairly restrict the breeds they may own. The Obama Administration's statement should instruct federal agencies to review their policies to be sure they don't allow flawed regulations and breed bans. Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to help fight BSL in your area!
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade!
By joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, you will receive important alerts from us when we need your help to fight for laws against animal cruelty.
that's right, Heike. I say the same thing all the time!
I had someone on the street stop and say "C'mon is that a dog or a weapon."
If he would have known my dog he would have realized that he is the most cuddly and loving dog I have ever met. He thinks he's a lap dog. Stop dog discrimination.

KINSTON — In the fight for better health, electronic cigarettes — or "e-cigarettes" — have been looked at as the new alternative method to people who have been trying to quit smoking. The product has been gaining popularity for its ability to emulate the taste and feel of the original cigarette without the harmful chemicals.
E-cigarettes have been sold in tobacco stores, gas stations and retail stores across the nation since 2009. With increased laws on smoking because of the harmful toxins that provide secondhand smoke and the smell of the carcinogens, e-cigarettes can be utilized in order to get the nicotine fix without bothering nonsmokers.
A Herritage Street drug store manager in Kinston said e-cigarettes have been selling very well in the stores.
"A lot of customers have told me they picked them up so they could smoke in bars or restaurants without having to deal with the tobacco smell," said the woman, who asked her name not be used in this report.
E-cigarettes can be "smoked" just like regular cigarettes, but without the use of lighters or flicking ashes. Instead, the e-cigarette is like an electronic inhaler, releasing a vapor into the air in contrast to the smoke from standard cigarettes.
Some e-cigarettes taste just like original tobacco or menthols, but there are alternative flavors that can be found. Blu — one of the most popular brands of e-cigarettes — gives smokers a variety of flavors such as cherry, vanilla and pina colada, amongst others. Also, people have the option of buying disposables — which can last about as long as a pack of cigarettes — or rechargeable e-cigarettes which can last for months.
When inhaled, a light comes on and the nicotine is released. When the light fades away or won't come on, the e-cigarette needs to be recharged or discarded.
Like patches or gum, nicotine is entered into the bloodstream, but in an article in The Huffington Post on Monday, Dr. Lynn Kozlowski said e-cigarettes are more likely to get a smoker to quit altogether.
"An ineffective cigarette substitute could fool an addicted smoker for a few hours or a few days, but not for weeks or a few months," Kozlowski said. "After many months, it will be rare to see a placebo effect satisfying an addicted smoker. Will they work for every smoker? Probably not. Can they work for many smokers? Probably."
Linda Walston — store manager of Tobacco Road Outlet on Herritage Street — has sold quite a few e-cigarettes in her establishment and has utilized it herself with positive reviews.
"If you're trying to quit or just looking for something to use when you don't have a cigarette at the time, it works," Walston said. "When I'm with my grandbabies, I don't smoke around them so the e-cigarette is a good substitute."
With the increase in health, additional places to smoke and the flavors provided, Walston had a prediction about the future of e-cigarettes.
"The electronic cigarettes have really taken off," Walston said. "There might be only e-cigarettes in 10 years."

As soon as we enter through the front door you can smell this lovely woodsy, relaxing aroma, with a touch of orange and seems like even ginger. My granddaugher (who is 6) even commented on how wonderful it smells.
I would recommend this, especially if you like floral, woodsy scents. I have a body spray from a local distributor which is very much the same sent of this potpourri. I ablsolutely love the smell!

Accelerating local light rail
For Sound Transit, connecting the spine is paramount. Thanks to the leadership of Sound Transit Board members Paul Roberts and Dave Earling, there is renewed hope that Snohomish County will benefit from light rail a wee sooner.
When Sound Transit 2 passed in 2008, Roberts shepherded an amendment to fund planning for a Sound Transit 3 (ST3) package to set in motion county light rail (stay with us here.) Last December Roberts, along with Earling, pushed a resolution that integrates and hastens ST3 planning, an approach that underscores Sound Transit's original mission.
Nearly two decades ago, voters were promised a regional transportation network that knits together light rail, express bus service and Sounder heavy rail. With light rail, the primary concern is mission drift. Service to Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, while appealing to Ballard-ites, can't sidetrack connecting the rail-station dots. The latest ST3 movement is encouraging because it accelerates planning and breathes life into the promise of a true regional system. In cobbling the resolution, for example, Roberts was joined not only by Earling, but also Seattle's Richard Conlin and Mayor Mike McGinn.
With aerospace and other manufacturing centers anchored in Snohomish County, the absence of light rail repels Asian and European-based suppliers otherwise eager to move here. Troy McClelland, president and CEO of the Economic Alliance of Snohomish County, said that companies are stunned by the lack of a swift and rapid transportation system. McClelland said that one visitor expressed shock at the acres of cars parked at Boeing. For Snohomish and the Puget Sound region, a vital light-rail system is integral to feed a growing manufacturing and high-tech base.
In addition, in a world of declining revenue, Sound Transit's Service Improvement Plan demands re-arranging bus service to ensure efficiencies in a revenue-neutral manner. Tweaks are being made, services improved.
Growth is the operative word. As Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson notes, Everett will support a population of 200,000 along with 180,000 jobs in 2040. During his State of the City address on Thursday, Stephanson pushed for Sound Transit to identify alignment from Lynnwood to Everett. Stephanson wants to see a decision on ST3 before the decade is out. Given the strategic importance to Washington's economic health, ST3 needs be put before voters in 2016. Inaction is not an option.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- The Washington state Senate has unanimously approved a measure that is the final installment of a multi-year effort to remove male-dominated language from the state code.
If signed into law, penmanship will soon be handwriting, `freshmen will be first-year students and watchmen will become security guards.
The National Conference of State Legislatures says about half of all U.S. states have moved toward such gender-neutral language at varying levels, from drafting bills to changing state constitutions.
Florida and Minnesota have already completely revised their laws as Washington state is doing.
The gender-neutral measure was passed Friday in the Senate and goes next to the House.

|Jan 4, 2013, 05:22 PM
the snap together modular idea is cute. But in practice it will introduce many more points of failure. Connections that can be filled with dust, coffee, peanut butter and so on.
It doesn't confer any real benefits unless there is an ability to stack multiple CPU units and/or multiple PCIe card units. To accomplish this would require something about 10 times more bandwidth than TB.
The best we can hope for is a continued existence of the Mac Pro with a more recent vintage CPU.
I would love to see a smaller form factor with some of the fat trimmed, as well as inclusion of TB and USB3.0.
|Jan 4, 2013, 07:02 PM
The -E -EP and -EX lines are three different line-ups. Only the -E and -EP have archtiectural similarities. Apple is in no way shape or form waiting on anything -EX. Nothing. -EX is not even material to the topic AT ALL.
Similarly. Ivy Bridge processors don't support USB; let alone USB 3.0. The IOHUB chipsets support USB ( and version 3.0). The C600 chipset that Xeon E5 use for Sandy Bridge will likely also be used for Ivy Bridge ( v2). If Intel follows normal practice there is only one server chipset for the whole tick/tock cycle. There is likely no new IOHUB chipset coming until Haswell (2014 earliest ).
Apple doesn't need it integrated in the chipset. All of the other Xeon E5 workstations vendors (Dell, HP, etc. ) have managed to deploy 2012 workstations with discrete USB 3.0 controllers. Apple doesn't really have an excuse here other than laziness. It isn't like the Mac Pro motherboard is extremely pressed for space.
The modular stuff is just goofiness. It makes for nice page view (and hence ad view) trolling though. Besides not aligned with Apple seamless case design objectives it would largely just drive up costs. The last thing the Mac Pro needs is gratuitous cost increases.
It would be far more simpler and straightforward to make make 2-3 different cases. In so far that the Mac Pro volumes had trouble justifying one case design .... going to 3 is dubiously market motivated.
".... One thing about the Mac Pro update in June really didn't make sense. It didn't include a Thunderbolt port. ... "
An exceeding dubious statement since Thunderbolt solves no problem that the Mac Pro has. The Mac Pro has PCI-e sockets. The Mac Pro has multiple video outputs. To a large extent it is gratuitous uniformity that pounds the table for Thunderbolt for the Mac Pro. Let alone the fact that the June update was just a speed bump. Why would it have any other port not previously present.
If want to point to something that could have been updated if had planned ahead was the video card trapped in time. Not the lack of Thunderbolt.
" ... However, Apple may update to the PCIE3 standard, which will offer 40 lanes per socket, rather than the usual 36, we wrote in June 2012. ... "
Bubbling babbling BS. If update to the Xeon E5 processors then automatically get PCIe-v3. The PCI-e v3 standard says diddly squat about 40 lanes. Again it is a property of Intel's implementation of the Xeon E5.
The lanes-per-socket attribute is new. Back when Xeon 3600-5600 class ( and previous ) the "usual 36" were provided by a northbridge IO cihp.
" ... but we aren't completely convinced that Apple will remove the optical drive from the Mac Pro. ... "
The current Mac Pro has two ODD bays. It isn't "the" optical drive. Apple could remove one drive bay and still have one left. Apple could easily drop the bay being configured at being parts of the default configurations and still hit folks up for BTO ODD configs with $79.00 Superdrives. ( There are other workstation vendors that leave ODDs off the basic configs. )
An ODD for software install is dubious. If have another Mac that one will also benefit from an external ODD. By once and use on multiple Macs is actually more cost effective than buying it multiple times to do installs.
Mac Pro users being more likely in the class to have to burn ODDs for clients would actually be a creditable argument.

So, what to think about this?
Do we move along and ignore these assumptions of the 2013 Mac Pro, or do we keep an open mind as to what the final product will look like? Its obvious that there might be a redesign of the case with fewer expansion capabilities making the new Mac Pro just as proprietary and non-upgradable as the iMac or Mac Mini.
I am not buying the credible evidence of the article showing all this babbling BS. We simply don't know what the Mac Pro will look like or even resemble. Frankly, since I use my 2010 6-core for mostly file and print server support to my PowerPC Macs I use, I probably won't jump on the 2013 Mac Pro if one does indeed come out.
I also don't do as much video rendering and encoding as I used to, so I even wasted money on the 6-core w3680 chip.
As far as Haswell, I think its safe to assume the direction Apple is heading to.. and its not with the Mac platform, rather its integrating IOS and the i-toys with the Mac OS and making more "toy-like" than professional.
I have said it once and will say it again.. Snow Leopard and Leopard are the last true versions of Mac OS X before the IOS stuff.. Who knows what the Mac Pro for 2013 will resemble or even look like?
I agree.. nothing indeed... lets all just move along... We simply don't know what the 2013 Mac Pro will resemble or look like, for all we know it will be a rack mount server machine and it won't be pretty..
God help Apple if they end upgrading as an option with this new Mac Pro.. changing the processor for a faster one, adding optical drives, or taking away the ability to use PCIe video cards...
Welcome to the new iMac Pro in that case.
|Jan 5, 2013, 12:20 AM
I saw this photo on Mac Rumors about three months ago. From what i remember it was a users concept. Looks like it came around full circle.
I'm starting to think the plane has already crashed into the side of the mountain. Most people in the photo industry think than apple does not even make towers anymore
|Jan 5, 2013, 12:23 AM
We just have to wait and see! I am in absolutely no rush to get the 2013 Mac Pro since I hardly make use of my 6-core Mac Pro.. I only got the 6-core w3680 to prolong my Mac Pro.. While I do use it for encoding and video rendering, I have lost some interest in it and now my Mac Pro is relegated to file server and print server to my PowerPC Macs I currently use.
On occasion, I will boot into bootcamp and play some windows games, but thats about it for right now.

How can Apple continue to justify that the flagship Computing device it sells does not feature it's highest speed data interconnect?
Apple is killing off firewire. The 3rd party companies that make the external devices for content creation pros are all shifting to Thunderbolt.
Sure you can buy audio or video boxes that use firewire, and will work just dandy with a current Mac Pro, but why would you buy something that is already obsolete?
Instead of asking what problems does TB solve, ask how likely it is that Apple will continue to put firewire on anything?
You also have to consider that folks are already using TB drives in the field, then using them as a project delivery medium to folks that sit in offices with Mac Pros. When it happens to us at my job we have to pull one of our loaner MBPs and use it to mount the drive to the network. Then pull the stuff over to our Macintoshes shared volume
The Mac Pros are helpless!

Here it is folks - the 2013 Mac Pro Lineup.
I included the left most one as a way to continue support for optical drives and users who require them, however the 'new' designs are the two on the right.
The taller unit is the same height as the old mac pro, only the handles are lower profile. With the removal of optical drives, it enabled the chassis to be limited mostly by the PCIe slot width. It has 4 PCIe 3.0 slots and 5 drive bays.
The shorter unit has only 2 PCIe 3.0 slots and 3 drive bays.
My concept for the internals would be a 'modular' 3-module system with layers, vertically adjacent to each other. You pull off the side and then can access each of the following modules:
- Hard Drive Bays
- PCI Expansion
Each one slides out to allow you each upgrade/repairs. Then slides back in and connects to a back-plane.
Hope you like it.

I can't see the next Mac Pro being much different to the current one.
I would like the Mac Pro to be more square with space being utilised in every location minus the four corners for the handles. If you filled in the space between the two top and bottom handles I reckon you could fit an extra 12 HDs in there.
Introducing differently sized enclosures is silly for the Mac Pro line up. It would be like introducing differently sized Mac Minis: Mac Nano, Mac Micro and Mac Milli.
|Jan 5, 2013, 10:07 AM
Additionally, another primary design constrait is that the box stand upright. Squareness limits the height or explodes the width and depth (if allow height to grow). It introduces coupling where it is not required.
The NeXT cube and the Mac cube were both bad ideas for computer form factors.
iPod shuffle , nano , Touch
MBP 13" , 15" ( , formerly 17" )
iMac 21" , 27" ( , formerly 17" )
Like the Mini though the total number sold is relatively small (relative to laptops and iMac ) and subsegmenting is likely not very expansive. Not expansive for a couple of reasons. First, dealing with market pricing boundaries (on low end for Mini and high end for Mac Pro). Second, desktop growth is slowing. Subsetting a market transitioning to being flat, or worse shrinking, is a bad idea.
It does make sense to have more overlapping models in the laptop segment because that segment is growing at a much higher rate. However, even in laptops Apple has started the culling processing with the removal of the MBP 17". The overlap in the 13" and 15" space will be resolved in the next couple of years also as laptops start to plateau.
Parts wise there is a natural way to split the Mac Pro. E5 2600 (in pairs) , E5 1600 , and E3 1200 would present three distinct offerings in performance and I/O bandwidth (on I/O 80 , 40 , 20 PCi-e lanes respectively). That would align naturally with Papa bear , Momma bear , Baby bear line up of associated cases. The core issue though is whether enough folks would show up and buy them in significant numbers to offset the allocation of the additional scarce resources available. ( the money isn't a material as the folks Apple has available to assign. They run a lean company. )
|Jan 5, 2013, 11:24 AM
For example, Blackmagic Intensity.
the Intensity Pro (PCI-e card ) and Intensity Extreme (Thunderbolt ) take the same breakout cable. There is no in bandwidth. This pattern repeats itself for the large majority of offerings in the A/V capture space.
The huge problem is the many folks fixate on storage which is slightly different due to the connector being nominally hidden from view. The TB storage solutions are PCI-e eSATA/RAID card solutions repackaged. The external eSATA/SAS connector disappears inside the box. However, the SATA/SAS connect is still present on the drives.
So for example the BlackMagic Cinema camera ( http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/prod...acamera/design) takes an internal SSD drive for storage. That drive moved to a SATA enclosed connected to a Mac Pro is perfectly viable "sneaker net" solution to the transport of that data.
Similarly a Seagate GoFlex with a Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connector could be used in a "sneakernet" set up for the core SATA USM modules being moved around.
Similarly a
Group A : have PCI-e cards that connect to SATA standard drives
Group B : have drives where the only way to extract data is solely from a TB connection.
The answer should be relatively obvious. Retreating into the very small corner case where the importance of Thunderbolt is overinflated doesn't justify Thunderbolt in the overall market.
Second, there are no pure TB drives. There are SATA drives inside of TB enclosures but there are not TB drives. So you do run into an issue if the embedded SATA/RAID controller writes the data onto the standards based SATA drives that you cannot read the data on the drives if those drives are moved to another enclosure/adapter. However, if the data is written in a standard readable format the drives themselves can be read by a Mac Pro with a suitable adapter and/or drive sled. So the root cause issue on something like a Promise TB enclosure data being encoded in that controllers RAID layout format is the root cause issue. Not the lack of Thunderbolt.
Anyone who captures data into a proprietary format suffers the lock-in of that format. But that is a choice. There is little to no requirement that lock-in formats be used in disk file layout.
|Jan 5, 2013, 02:26 PM
I did some back of the envelope calculations a while ago and got Mac Pro sales at about 5% of Apple's revenue. Given that number it becomes reasonable to ask whether or not it makes financial sense for Apple to keep developing them.

apple computers and apple OS X
by mshazer - 1/31/07 1:53 PM
why is it that you have to purchase an apple brand computer in order to have a computer that runs it's operating system OS X? doesn't seem strange that there are no other computers that come installed with OS X. i think that it is strange that Microsoft got sued because it did not allow competitors software in there software bundle but at the same time in order to use apple OS x you have to buy an apple. i the OS X system was available to other manufacturing then Microsoft would have real competition and apple will have to reduce there prices, in other words the consumer wins.

Gaston County Manager Jan Winters was forced to resign Thursday night after more than 11 years in the position.
Gaston County commissioners went into closed session, shortly after setting a new tax rate of 87 cents per $100 of property for the fiscal year that begins Monday. That's a 3.5-cent increase from the current year.
They did not approve a new overall budget, meaning they must work out financial shortfalls soon on the new spending plan. Winters had recommended a 5.4-cent tax increase.
Commissioners spent about 30 minutes during the closed session discussing Winters' job performance. They returned to open session and voted 4-1 to accept his resignation.
Commissioners Alan Fraley, Chad Brown, Jason Williams and Tracy Philbeck voted in favor, while Chairman Mickey Price was opposed.
Commissioners Tom Keigher and Joe Carpenter declined to participate in the closed session after realizing there was an effort afoot to force Winters out. Both of them were gone by the time the others returned to open session.
Winters said publicly he had enjoyed working for the county and understood he had worked at the pleasure of the commission. He could not be reached for further comment after the meeting.
"He was very professional about it," said Price. "He said he would simply move on."
Backroom deal?
Winters, who came to Gaston County from Florida, made an annual salary of $171,030. He will be entitled to receive six months of severance pay, Price said.
Philbeck said he and the other three commissioners felt the county needed new leadership that was more in line with the ideals and direction of the commission.
"I respect Jan. I think he's a good man," he said. "But I think it was time for him to go."
Philbeck and Brown were the only dissenters in the 5-2 vote to set the new tax rate. Williams said he would have voted against that tax increase, but he voted in favor of it in order to secure a vote from Fraley to oust Winters.
Williams said they weren't happy with Winters' suggestions on how to balance the budget, where to make cuts and how to be more fiscally conservative.
"For some time, we've been at a stalemate," he said. "The board couldn't come to any consensus on moving forward with a budget.
"I made it clear the only way I would support a tax increase was to move forward with making a change."
After conferring with Williams and other commissioners earlier in the week, Philbeck asked Price to schedule a closed session at the end of Thursday's meeting to discuss Winters' job performance.
Keigher said he and Carpenter realized the closed session had been scheduled about two hours before the meeting. Before the vote to go into closed session, they spoke out against it.
"It's evident that Joe and I were left out of any discussion or planning on this decision," he said after the meeting. "I know in my gut a decision had already been made without the full board participating, which is improper and out of the public eye."
He said that's why he and Carpenter didn't bother to go into the closed session meeting, nor to stick around for it to end.
"I can respect a majority decision of the board, but I cannot respect backroom deals where a decision was made," he said. "Only a fool wouldn't think it had been talked out.
"I'm guessing the reason Joe and I weren't included is they probably sensed the man was doing an acceptable job in our opinion."
"A fresh set of eyes"
Winters was present for roughly the last half of the closed session meeting, Price said. Price said he voted not to accept the resignation because he didn't want to see Winters go.
In addition to the basic budget dispute, Price said "way more stuff came out during the closed session that I didn't know about." He declined to elaborate.
"I won't say I'm shocked. I'll just say I didn't expect him to resign," said Price. "I thought he'd probably leave us for a better job at some point in time."
Williams said the majority of the commission wants a county manager who is more innovative, analytical and business minded, and a better leader who "can get us back on a fiscally responsible track."
"I know (Winters) only had a certain amount of money to work with, but it didn't seem he was willing to think outside the box on holding people accountable, and considering things like privatization," said Williams.
Things had grown stale, he said.
"Oftentimes, familiarity breeds contentment," said Williams. "That's why county and city managers don't hold their positions long. Sometimes you need somebody to come in with a fresh set of eyes to help move the county forward."
