Pocket projectors have been the pipe dream of presenters since they started getting talked up years ago. The problem has been getting real working units out in the hands of these folks. Mint Wireless is claiming they are ready to get their uber-small V10 out on the market. The company claims you can run the little battery powered projector for hours on a charge and with an SD slot you can forego the computer altogether. The V10 is expected to go for about $600. Makes me want to present something to myself.

Southwest Utah: Dual Sport Riding from St. George

Thanks RRR, SamTHG and StG
These three riders were strangers at the beginning but within a few hours became like Brothers in Battle.
The multiple reference to headlights working being important was directed at my KLR. My headlight was working intermittently. I think the guys were just jealous of my Supertanker Status. They took me along just so they could sip gas from my tank when I was on frequent nature calls.
RRR was also insistent on showing us some
Flying Monkey Spot
---he swears both 'Wizard of Oz' movies were filmed right at that spot. I did not believe him for a second, but was afraid that he would sulk and quit the ride if challenged. So we did a lot of oohs and ahhs when he was talking about 'Monkeys'. 'Flying Monkeys', Really!
He also showed us some small, really small streams, telling us that these were the source of The Mighty Colorado which is the 'source of water for all the Oceans on Earth'. He even told us he has named these little streams but the State of Utah is still insisting that he is somewhat inaccurate about his findings. His enthusiasm about his home town and state is admirable. Like 'The Monkeys' nobody challenged him.
Once I made the mistake of adding some Seafoam to the KLR's tank. The guys saw this even though I was being discreet. I will say no more on this topic.
I am glad there were plenty of zip ties, rolls of duct tape, wires, flashlights, etc otherwise I would still be somewhere in Zion or one of its tunnels that RRR insists he drew the architecture plans for.
Thanks for an experience of a lifetime.

Falling in love is easy. Holding on to it can tear your life apart.
A Bay City Paranormal Investigations story.
When Dean Delapore takes a break from Bay City Paranormal Investigations, he doesn't expect his work to follow him to the eclectic town of Carrboro, North Carolina. The chance to investigate a haunting at the Blue Skye Inn and Winery is more than he can resist, mainly because of the inn's owner. Deceptively shy and gorgeous, Sommer Skye is not only fantastic company, he's the best lay Dean's had in ages.
As Dean probes the misty secrets of the haunted inn, he unexpectedly peels away the layers hiding Sommer's private pain. Pain Sommer's not sure he can withstand. By the time Dean realizes just how deep his feelings for the innkeeper run, it's far too late to turn back.
Now if only he can convince Sommer that falling in love changes everything, maybe for the better. If the bones of the past can be laid to rest…
Chapter One
Carrboro's Weaver Street Market was a veritable Godiva Gold Collection of eye candy. Especially on sunny, unseasonably warm Saturday afternoons in early January. The faint lingering nip in the air wasn't nearly enough to discourage the crowds of aging hippies, families and college students from congregating on the Market's wide lawn and outdoor tables.
Slouched on a bench beneath a spreading oak, legs stretched out in front of him, Dean Delapore lifted his black shades and aimed a smoldering look at the doe-eyed young man watching him from across the shaded lawn. The boy gave him a coy smile.
The bench moved as someone plopped down beside Dean. He turned to face Kerry Shiffer, one of the friends he'd come here to visit. "Did you get your ice cream?"
"It's not ice cream, it's gelato." Fishing in her canvas grocery bag, Kerry pulled out a small brown and white container. "Organic and locally produced by Green Fields Creamery."
"Of course." Dean slid his shades back into place and lifted his face to the winter sunshine. "I'm glad you and Ron talked me into coming up here to visit. Y'all know how much I love my job, but I seriously needed a vacation. We've been up to our eyeballs in freaky cases lately."
Kerry turned sideways on the bench and tucked a leg underneath her, one hand absently rubbing her six-months-pregnant belly. "Well, we're both glad you could come up. With the baby coming Ron needs to save up his time off, and we both need to hang on to our money. But we wanted to see you. It's been way too long."
"It sure has." Putting an arm around Kerry's shoulders, Dean kissed the top of her curly auburn head. "I miss college some days.The three of us had some great times together here at UNC."
"We sure did." Kerry planted a kiss on Dean's cheek, patted his knee and rose to her feet. "Come on, let's head back now. Ron should be home soon."
"Cool." Dean jumped up and fell into step beside Kerry. "I hate that he had to go in to work today."
She shrugged. "That's what he gets for being the only one there who actually knows how the hell their computer network functions, I guess. At least it's only for a little while."
"Yeah." Sticking his hands in his back pockets, Dean grinned at a gap-toothed little girl who waved at him from atop a nearby brick planter. "I don't blame y'all a bit for settling here. It's a great town. Always has been."
"Yeah. I'm just glad this warm snap hung around for your visit. It's usually colder than this in January." She gave him a sidelong glance as they crossed the street and headed down the hill past colorful shops and restaurants. "I wish you could stay longer."
"Me too. But Bay City Paranormal could only spare me for a couple of weeks."
Kerry wrinkled her freckled nose. "I don't see why they couldn't let you off for longer."
Dean laughed. "Bo was willing to let me off for a month, but I told him I'd only take two weeks. It's a small business, and we've been super busy lately. They need me."
"Yeah, but still--"
"Kerry, I love you, but give it a rest, huh?" Dean nudged Kerry's shoulder. "I don't mind. Really. Like I said, I love my job. And I love my coworkers. They're a great group."
Her round face lit up, blue eyes sparkling. "Any of them you love more than the others?"
Shaking his head, Dean pushed the "walk" button at the next corner. "You know me, Kerry. I don't tie myself down."
She shot him a careful look. "You would have, once. Please tell me she didn't totally destroy your ability to settle down with somebody else."
At that moment, Dean was grateful he had his sunglasses on. He didn't want Kerry to see his eyes, because she was right. Sharon had been his first real love. The first person, male or female, with whom he'd seriously considered having a permanent relationship. When she found out he was bisexual and had slept with men, she'd left him. He didn't like to admit, even to himself, just how painful that had been. Or just how much it had affected his life since.
"I got over Sharon a long time ago," he said softly. "Believe me, if I find Mr. or Ms. Right, what happened with Sharon won't stop me from hanging onto them. I just haven't found that person yet, that's all."
"So it's got to be true love forever, or no deal?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Pursing her lips, Kerry picked at a loose thread on her long red skirt. "Nothing, I guess. It just seems kind of lonely to me."
"I date a lot, I get laid a lot, but I still get my own space with no one telling me I can't have beer and Fritos for breakfast or lay around watching TV in my underwear. That's not lonely, that's the best of both worlds."
He refused to acknowledge the small but growing part of him which longed to wake up every morning with his arms around someone he loved. To spend a lifetime learning that person inside and out. It didn't seem likely to happen, and he saw no point in mourning something he'd probably never have. Especially since it was his own tendency to hold himself back that kept him from having the kind of relationship he wanted.
Kerry frowned at him, but before she could say anything her cell phone trilled. She shot him a "this conversation isn't over" look as she fished the phone out of her purse and flipped it open.
"Hey, babe," she said, eyes sparkling like they always did when she talked to her husband. "We're on our way back from the Market, are you already home?"
Tuning out his friends' conversation, Dean stuck his hands in his back pockets and gazed around him. Just ahead, the town's newest Thai restaurant had its front doors flung open, letting out a spicy, mouthwatering scent. Next door, customers wandered in and out of a bookstore specializing in rare and out-of-print volumes. A wave of lilting violins drifted from the music store across the street.
At the next corner, two young men crossed the street with their arms around each other. The blond tilted up the brunet's face and kissed him. Dean smiled, the sight bringing a mix of conflicting emotions. Mobile, where he'd been born and raised and still lived, wasn't a particularly dangerous place for gays, but neither was it a place where a man could kiss another man in public without any thought to the possible consequences.
Sometimes, he really missed the open and accepting attitudes here in Carrboro and neighboring Chapel Hill.
"Well, crap." Snapping the cell phone closed, Kerry shoved it into her purse. "Ron's not done yet. He's got to stay at work until probably midafternoon."
"Aw, damn."
"He's taking a break right now. He's headed over to The Open Eye. I told him we'd meet him there."
"Cool." Dean glanced at the shopping bag hanging from Kerry's arm. "What about your gelato? It'll melt."
She grinned at him. "We'll go ahead and eat it. It goes great with the organic Sumatran dark roast."
"Awesome." Taking Kerry's hand, Dean led her across the busy street. "Do they still have those chocolate croissants?"
"Fantastic. I haven't had one of those in years."
Laughing, Kerry pushed open the door of Carrboro's most popular coffee shop. Dean shoved his shades up on top of his head and breathed in the heavenly scents of baked goods and fresh-brewed coffee. It was the smell of college mornings spent huddled over the colorful tables with his friends, discussing classes, music, girls or boys they wanted to get into bed. All the things that seemed so important then, with the world at their feet and all their lives ahead of them.
Time had a way of teaching a person what was truly important, Dean reflected as he and Kerry took their place in line. Friends. Family. Partners. If there was one thing Dean had learned in his life, it was that nothing mattered as much as keeping the people he loved close, and letting them know how much they meant to him. He liked to think he lived by that creed, and that his friends and family knew how he treasured them.
He ignored the empty ache inside for a love like Kerry and Ron shared.
Behind him, the rather shrill tinkle of the bell on the door announced an arrival to the shop. A shoulder clipped Dean's as someone rushed past the line and straight to the counter, sending Dean stumbling into Kerry. A woman passing on her other side caught her elbow, narrowly preventing a fall.
"Hey, watch it," Dean called, scowling at the back of the man who'd run into him. "Pregnant lady here, huh? You almost made me knock her over."
The man turned, blinking in surprise as his large brown eyes lit on Kerry. "Kerry? Oh my God I'm sorry! I'm just in kind of a rush, and wasn't looking where..." He stopped, blowing out a breath. One long, slender hand raked through shaggy shoulder-length hair the color of redwood. "Sorry. Listen, y'all come out to my place tonight for karaoke, I'll give you dinner."
Kerry laughed. "We'd love to come for karaoke, but you don't need to feed us."
"But I--"
"You were in a hurry, and you accidentally ran into someone," Kerry finished. "It happens. I'm fine, don't worry about it."
The stranger bit his lower lip, and Dean's breath caught. Something about the nervous action and the uncertain look in those huge, expressive eyes made Dean want to pull the man into his arms and comfort him.
"I'd still love it if you and Ron came for karaoke. Y'all haven't been out for at least a month." His gaze flicked sideways to Dean, then back again, as if he wasn't sure he should speak to him. "And you can bring, um, guests." He darted another look at Dean, this one sizzling with curiosity. "Um, yeah. See you later."
The man turned and leaned against the counter, talking low and fast to the young woman on the other side. Dean stared, admiring the slim, tight lines of the stranger's body. Black jeans hugged long legs and the sweetest ass Dean had seen in ages. A pale blue shirt with the tails hanging out and the sleeves rolled up set off the man's deep red hair and golden skin tone perfectly.
"Who's that?" Dean asked, nudging Kerry's elbow. "He's hot."
Kerry grinned. "How do you do that?"
"Do what?" He tilted his head sideways to better view the curve of buttock and thigh as the man shifted from foot to foot.
"Pick out the gay ones, every time." Kerry slapped him on the butt. "Are you listening?"
"I didn't know he was gay. I just thought he was hot." Dean flashed his friendliest smile as the man turned around and hurried toward the door carrying a large paper bag. The man blushed and looked away, but Dean saw the way the corners of his mouth turned up as he passed. Dean swiveled around to watch the man walk out the door. "Oh yeah. Smokin' hot. So who is he?"
Snickering, Kerry stepped up to the counter and ordered two organic Sumatrans before turning back to Dean. "That's Sommer Skye. He's a good friend of mine and Ron's."
Dean laughed. "Sommer Skye? What the hell were his parents thinking?"
"They were serious hippies." Kerry held her hand out. Dean handed her two dollars, which she gave to the girl behind the counter along with her own money. Taking the change, Kerry picked up the huge indigo mug the clerk handed her and led Dean toward a table containing carafes of soy milk and half-and-half, packets of raw sugar and a small pitcher of honey. "They disappeared four years ago. Nobody's seen or heard a trace of them since. It's kind of a sore spot with Sommer, so do not say anything, okay?"
"Cross my heart." Dean stirred honey and a generous amount of half-and-half into his coffee and took a cautious sip from the orange and yellow mug. "Oh man, that's good. So, we're going to his place tonight, huh?"
"Yep." Kerry poured a packet of raw sugar and a dollop of soy milk into her coffee and stirred. "He owns the Blue Skye Inn and Winery just outside town. It's a cool place, you'll love it. He's set up the wine shop and tasting room in the old barn, and he has Karaoke Night there every Saturday. Five bucks a head, and you get one complimentary glass of his chardonnay and as much karaoke as you can handle. Half the town turns out for it, it's a real blast."
"Sounds like it." Dean followed Kerry to a small round table bathed in sunshine pouring through the wall-to-wall windows. As he slid into the chair, he caught sight of a tall, lanky man chaining a bicycle to the rack outside. "Hey, there's Ron."
Kerry's face lit up. She tapped on the window. Ron looked up, smiled and waved at her. She waved back, beaming. Dean chuckled. His friends had been married for seven years, and had dated all through college, but they were still head over heels for each other, and it showed. Dean thought it was adorable.
Ron swung the door open and bounded in, gray eyes shining. Flipping his long golden ponytail over his shoulder, he slid into the chair beside Kerry and put an arm around her. "Hey, babe."
"Hey yourself." She tilted her face up for a kiss. "We're going to Sommer's for karaoke tonight."
"Okay, cool. I'll be home by four, so no problem." Ron's bearded face broke into a wide grin as he leaned over to clap Dean on the shoulder. "He's single, and Kerry says he's cute. Want me to set you up?"
"No need, I can handle it. But thanks anyway." Dean took a sip of his coffee, licking the rich, dark taste from his lips. "By the way, he is beyond cute. He's gorgeous. Just so you know."
Ron's eyebrows shot up. "When did you meet him?"
"I didn't. Yet. But I sure am looking forward to it."
"Sommer was in here just before you got here," Kerry explained, answering the puzzled look on her husband's face. "He was in a rush and didn't stay for introductions, but Dean noticed him. Big surprise, I know. I told him we'd come out for karaoke."
Ron chuckled. "Sommer's always in a rush. Was he in here getting coffee beans again?"
"Most likely. I noticed Weaver Street Market was out of that fair trade Mexican blend he serves at the Inn." Kerry glanced at Dean. "He usually gets all his stuff at the Market, but he comes here for his beans when they're out at Weaver Street."
Dean nodded over his coffee cup. "Very Carrboro of him. I like that in a man."
"You have to try his zinfandel tonight, Dean," Ron said, leaning back in his chair and stretching. "You'll get a free glass of chardonnay, but the zinfandel's out of this world. He'll give you a free taste, if you want."
An array of decidedly impure mental images flashed through Dean's mind. He rested his chin in his hand. "You think he'd give me a free taste of anything else? I promise to ask nicely."
"I'm sure he would. He's got merlot, Pinot Grigio, and--" Ron stopped, his face flushing pink. "Oh. Dean, you have a filthy mind."
"That can't possibly surprise you at this point." Kerry took a long swallow of coffee. "You want me to order you a coffee, hon?"
"Naw, I'll get it." Yawning, Ron rose to his feet. "Y'all want anything else while I'm up?"
"A spoon." Kerry held up her bag. "I have gelato."
"Oh yeah, and I wanted a chocolate croissant. Mr. Hotpants distracted me." Pushing away from the table, Dean stood and dug his wallet out of his pocket. "I'll come with you, Ron."
"Cool." Leaning down, Ron kissed his wife's forehead, then followed Dean to the counter. He shot Dean a keen look. "You look tired. Is everything all right back in Mobile?"
"Yeah, it's fine. The last few months have been kind of..." He trailed off, not knowing quite what to say about all he'd experienced since joining Bay City Paranormal. "It's been weird," he said finally.
"That's what you get when you work for a paranormal investigations agency."
"Yeah, I guess." Dean smiled at his friend. "It's good to be back here. I missed y'all."
"Same here, man." Sweeping Dean into a tight hug, Ron planted a kiss on each cheek. "It's been ages since we got to hang out."
Before Dean could answer, Kerry's voice rang out across the crowded shop. "You guys can make out if you want, but no threesomes. Only wholesome family sex around the baby."
Ron raised his eyebrows. He and Dean cracked up at the same time, along with half the customers in the shop.
Oh yeah, Dean thought as he let go of Ron and waited to place his order. I've missed these people, and this place.
Of course, just because Carrboro and Chapel Hill held so much nostalgia for him didn't mean there were no new memories to be made here. With any luck, some of those new memories would involve a slender, dark-eyed inn-and-winery owner between his legs.
He grinned. Karaoke Night, here I come.

I couldn't put this Ally Blue down. Dean Delapore is a truly fascinating character. Any one who has enjoyed the BCPI series is bound to like this one. It has one of my favorite lines I've read in M/M fiction: "I've known I was in love with you since the minute you stuck your hand up my ass." Can't beat that for romantic fantasy. Ms. Blue has pleasantly surprised me yet again.

Finally, someone for my favorite lonely heart! Goodness, how I was hoping there would be a book like this. BCPI has kept me shamelessly hooked from book one, and this delicious little morsel featuring Dean just about made my day. Of course, there's a certain kink near the end of the book (not telling which sort, because spoilers are bad) which I do not find sexy at all. Taking that into mind, I could not give this book five stars in good conscience. Still - it's Dean, it's Ally Blue, and it's not going to kill me to skip one sex scene. I am by no means disappointed.

Accused war criminal Slobodan Milosevic.
In the past fifteen years, the world community has faced a number of conflicts replete with violations of the Geneva Conventions and the Genocide Convention. In response to two of these conflicts, the United Nations, acting through the Security Council, established two ad-hoc criminal tribunals to prosecute war crimes. The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia ("ICTY") and International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda ("ICTR"), established in 1993 and 1994, respectively, were the first international tribunals since Nuremberg and Tokyo to criminally prosecute individuals for war crimes.
The ICTY and ICTR, established in 1993 and 1994, were the first international tribunals since Nuremberg and Tokyo to criminally prosecute individuals for war crimes.
The ICTY's and ICTR's jurisprudence has greatly influenced the ongoing development and evolution of the law of war. One key example is the categorization, by both the ICTR and ICTY, of rape as a grave breach. Rape of civilians, especially systematic rape of women in a community by armed forces, was not explicitly recognized as a grave breach under the Geneva Conventions; both Tribunals, however, recognized it as such. Having found individuals guilty of such acts, the Tribunals have classified rape, when perpetrated within these armed conflicts, as a war crime. Furthermore, the mixed internal and international nature of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda forced the Tribunals, in particular the ICTY, to articulate the applicability of the Geneva Conventions to modern conflicts where both internal and external armed forces participated in the conflict.

We have no time to study simultaneously with our articleship. And when we sit to study in our limited exam leaves, it is too late to study for the knowledge and understanding sake. Further, we are short on time to even cover the whole syllabus. Well, I am here to talk about managing studies with your articleship/work.
Here are some tips:
1) Start Early:
Ideally a student whois full time intostudies gives 4-6 months of complete time for Exams like CA IPCC, CWA Intermediate or Cs executive, So a student who is working should at least start 8-10 months in advance.Why? Because unlike full time students you get only weekends and evening to study.
2) Use commuting time to study
In Mumbai people commute almost and hour to and fro their office. This time can very well be channelized into studies. Never step out without a book. If its difficult to study the entire answer or chapter while travelling, then just go through the headings. Just get familiar with your book contents. This will help you when actually you sit down to study as you will be already familiar with the contents and you can directly start studying.
3)Use SQ3R
SQ3R is a reading strategy formed from its letters:
Survey! Question! Read! Recite! Review!SQ3R will help you build a framework to understand your reading assignment.
Before you read,
When you begin to

Using the text and notebook, make a Table of Contents - list all the topics and sub-topics you need to know from the chapter.
From the Table of Contents, make a Study Sheet/ Spatial Map.
Recite the information orally and in your own words as you put the Study Sheet/Map together.
Now that you have consolidated all the information you need for that chapter, periodically review the Sheet/Map so that at test time you will not have to cram.

The LaGrange High softball team accomplished a lot during a camp last week in Watkinsville.
The players had some top-notch instruction, and they got to play games against some other teams across the state.
They also got to enjoy a meal at one of the state's most famous eating establishments.
"There were several that had never eaten at the Varsity, and we found one in Athens," LaGrange softball coach Jan Jones said.
Put it all together, the coaching, the games, the team-building, and of course the chili dogs and the Frosted Oranges, and it was a highly successful undertaking.
"It was a really good camp," Jones said. "I think we took 16 girls. We got a lot of instruction, a lot of playing time. It was nice."
The name of the camp was the Higher Ground Softball Camp, and the LaGrange team stayed in Athens.
"In the morning, they have sessions that you attend, and then you break for lunch and come back and play games," Jones said. "We just had a good time. We feel like it's a great first step to a new season."
Jones believes getting away from home is important for the players.
"I really prefer going out of town, because you don't get that true team bonding until you have your team where it's just y'all," Jones said. "To me, that was very important to the coaching staff that they bonded while they were there, along with instruction."
LaGrange is coming off a successful 2013 season that ended with a loss to Northwest Whitfield in the opening round of the state tournament.
The Lady Grangers finished with a 20-10 record.
There are some significant holes to fill as the team looks ahead to a new season, most notably on the pitcher's mound, with four-year starter Emily Anderson having graduated and moved on to Georgia Tech where she'll play softball.
Another four-year starter, Karsin Spinks, has also graduated and is set to play college softball.
LaGrange has a solid group of players returning, and Jones feels the incoming freshmen will contribute as well.
At the camp last week, Jones said the new players and the veterans worked well together.
"We practiced three days a week leading up to that, just to see where everybody fits," Jones said. "We wanted to take definitely our varsity team, and then due to injuries we had to take a few eighth-graders. They fit in great. You would have never known they were eighth-graders. They did a tremendous job. It was fun, it was exciting. Everybody got a lot of playing time, there was a lot of instruction. It was a good three days."

SACRAMENTO - Adult-film industry actors and executives will converge on the state Capitol today to talk with lawmakers about the threat of increased regulation following this month's HIV scare.
The industry's ninth annual lobbying trip is organized by the Free Speech Coalition, a group based in Canoga Park that works to protect the industry through lobbying and legal challenges.
``Regulation in and of itself is not a dirty word to us,'' said Kat Sunlove, executive director of the coalition. ``We only are concerned that whatever regulations are put in place are reasonable and fair and, most of all, they are effective.''
She said the industry would oppose attempts to require the use of condoms when filming. But, she said, the state might consider incentives to encourage their use, such as tax breaks for the cost of HIV testing and other measures that would make it good business sense for producers to require or encourage the use of condoms.
Production in the adult-film industry, which is concentrated in the San Fernando Valley, virtually shut down with the announcement that two performers had tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS.
The news has also spurred increased scrutiny of the industry, and state and county officials are looking at ways to possibly require the use of condoms in adult films.
Even though the industry has serious issues and is a major employer in the San Fernando Valley, the group may not get a very warm reception in the Capitol, political analysts say.
``I don't think many legislators want to report back to their constituents that they met with porn stars,'' said Jack Pitney, a government professor at Claremont McKenna College. ``The trick for a lot of legislators is to pretend not to recognize the people that are coming to visit them.''
Several lawmakers' offices did not return phone calls regarding the planned meetings.
The group of 18 industry representatives is expected to meet with some 80 lawmakers or legislative staffers.
The lobbying delegation includes performer Mary Carey, who ran for governor during the October recall election.
Others on the trip include actress Nina Hartley; Dave Cummings, who at 63 is considered the oldest active male adult film actor; and Sharon Mitchell, a former actress who is executive director of the Sherman Oaks-based Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation, the organization that helps the industry police itself on health issues.

In a writ petition, which is expected to come up for hearing on March 7, Rao alleged that the central government carried out the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, against rules laid down by the Constitution of India. He alleged that neither was the law followed nor were considerations of the Sri Krishna Committee appointed by the government for bifurcation of state, taken into account. He said when approached twice Supreme Court, it said it was not time to intervene in the case, (on November 18, 2013 and February 7,2014. "Today we filed the petition, and mentioned the points raised against the bifurcation process. We expect some directions from the Supreme Court in this regard.
"In our writ petition, we mentioned how law and order powers of two states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana) were given to the Governor of Andhra Pradesh, without addressing concerns of the two regions and their people during the bifurcation of state," Rao said.

Then again, maybe giving him more responsibility is the answer. I can gerrymander his role to set him up to fail. I'll set lofty goals that no one could reach.

The Power and Responsibility of Movement Journalism
For the past few days I've been considering how best to cover a controversy within a local Pagan community. This situation, I felt, did and does have repercussions for our movement as a whole, and has drawn opinions from national figures on what the best response would be. However, every time I've started to write the piece, I have hesitated. There is news here, but I also know that by holding up my magnifying glass to it I could inflame and re-litigate a situation that seems to have come to … [Read more...]

This restaurant manages to be at once swanky yet youthful, and its bar scene is hip but low-key, with inventive cocktails and nibbles like miniature Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, spinach salad with tender chunks of bacon and fried onions, and an irresistible "nutty goat" flatbread. In the elegant sunken dining room the menu reads like a tasting menu, but the portions are hardly tiny. The diner calls the shots. Kobe beef is shaped into whimsical ravioli-esque shapes thanks to hand-stretched chestnut pasta. And the place is not without a touch of whimsy courtesy of portholelike fish tanks filled with goldfish in the restrooms.

Stylist lamp
Great modern style. Very functional.Read More
Nice lamp
The lamps are nice and still functioning well after a year. As other reviewers stated the knob to turn the lamps on and off are very flimsy and bend easily. I'm surprised ours haven't snapped off yet. They are nice visually and other parts of the lamp seem to be of decent quality.Read More
Cheaply made
I purchased these for a guest bedroom. Not real pleased with them. Luckily Overstock did replace an irregular shade but overall the lamps are not well made. I wanted a particular look but at half the price and got what I paid for. I would not purchase these again and do not recommend.Read More
Great lamps
These are wonderful lamps. I have a pair of them on my bedside tables and they look and work great. People with big hands might have an issue with the on and off switch being so high up the lamp but no problem for me. These look really good and I have had many complements.Read More
Paired with a square lamp
One of two we purchased, different in size but similar in style. They work especially well together, serving different purposes. We like the shades very much, with a rectangular shape, in white, which diffuses light very well. The choice was made on style and color; the prices were a nice surpriseRead More
Not a White Shade
This lamp is fairly good in quality, and I did like the style. I would have kept it, but there was one major problem. The problem was the color of the shade. I got the impression from the internet that the shade was a soft white or an off-white. The shade was actually very beige and tan looking, and when I turned it on at night, it actually looked more like a brown...too, too dark. And so, if you are looking for a lamp shade that may blend well with cool or white colors, this is not the one. If you are a fan of tan, and khaki, and beige, and the brown family, you may like this lamp.Read More
Hard to find tall table lamp
The lamp looks perfect, but the on-off switch is a little cumbersome to get at. If it had a base level or cord on-off it would be perfect,Read More
Satisfied So Far
I am always hesitant to order anything online, and have not done so very often. I had never ordered from Overstock.com, but a friend had and she didn't have any problems. I have to say that I am pleased with my decision. These lamps are beautiful. They are tall and heavy (not too heavy) and seem to be high-quality. Love the contemporary shades that come with the bases. I have looked all over the place for lamps in stores and online. These were what I was looking for and I honestly have not found a lower price than this. I just got them today and plugged them in. So far, I am very pleased. My 17-year-old son even commented on "liking them" as he walked out the door to go somewhere. I didn't even know he knew we had coffee tables.......that says a lot! lolRead More
Lamp is great
I would recommend this lamp if you need a tall table lamp that uses a three way bulb. I love it.Read More
Nice looking lamp
I really like this lamp and it goes nicely with my decor. I do wish that there was an on/off switch on the wire as opposed to only being up on the neck of the lamp. Also...the base of the lamp and the lamp itself is a little larger than I expected. However, still feel this is a good buy for the money and am happy overall with the product.Read More

I like the style. Modern looking will go well in my great room.

Yes, mine are just shy of 32" including the finial.
Is it bright enough for reading?
Thank you for shopping with us namng. Yes it does use a 100 watt bulb. Have a great day.
Yes - I love these laps. Got two of them for my sofa table.
Takes a 3 way bulb , with the highest setting of 100 Watts.
No - not for me, anyway.
is there a floor lamp in this collection?
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, there is no matching floor lamp in this collection. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
reading the previous questions, I'm still unsure of the size of the shade. how tall is the shade. Is the shape of the shade a rectangle, one of the answers said it is 17" square
The shade measures 16 in x 7, its not quite a square
What are all the dimensions of the shade? (It looks like a cubiod; so I'm not sure what the "diameter" translates to.)
Thank you for your interest. The shade measures 16 in x 7 in. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
What are the dimensions of the base?
10 inches x 5 inches
Is this a 3 way light?
Yes, it is a three-way light.
What are the dimensions of the shade? Is it a square or rectangle?
The shade is 17 inches in diameter and it is sqaure.
No, the shade is NOT square shaped!!! It's more oblong, i.e., both the front and back panels of the shade are wider than the 2 side panels. Really wish OS reps would take MORE TIME to examine products BEFORE responding to questions. Would really help REDUCE returns.

TNG Season 5 Blu-ray set and single-disc version of Unification [UPDATED] September 9, 2013by Matt Wright , Filed under: DVD/Blu-ray,TNG Remastered , comments closed
While we expected Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5 to be the next up on the Blu-ray slate, we weren't sure if CBS would do a single-disc release this time, since the Season 5/6 cliffhanger of "Time's Arrow" is hardly a fan favorite. The most logical choice, that many had been speculating, is the two-part 25th anniversary celebration, "Unification", featuring the return of original Trek legend Leonard Nimoy and his character Spock. We don't have full details yet, but there is new partial information about both releases. Both are expected to be available on November 19th for the US and Canada.
UPDATE Sept. 9 – CBS has posted a video trailer for Unification

Season 4 contains a lot of fan favorites such as Family, Brothers, Data's Day, The Wounded, The Drumhead, Qpid, and Redemption. Read on to see how the season looks remastered and details of the new bonus features.

Harvard's Graduate School of Education released today?a report, Pathways to Prosperity, which, to judge by the heft of those who contributed to the document's ?Advance Praise? page (e.g., Joel Klein, Phil Bredesen) and by the U.S. Secretary of Education's presence at the report's Washington, D.C., unveiling, is a big-ish deal. So what does?the thing?say? That the ?college for all? goal, pushed most recently and publicly by President Obama, is unreachable and also,?in establishing, deliberately or otherwise, college completion as the singularly desirable educational outcome, harmful.
Our current system places far too much emphasis on a single pathway to success: attending and graduating from a four-year college after completing an academic program of study in high school. Yet as we've seen, only 30 percent of young adults successfully complete this preferred pathway, despite decades of efforts to raise the numbers. And too many of them graduate from college without a clear conception of the career they want to pursue, let alone a pathway for getting there.
These are not original thoughts. Nonetheless they are thoughts worth repeating, and the report one worth reading. Among?its virtues?is that it is a silo of relevant facts, including details about how...
Each year the Thomas B. Fordham Institute conducts an analysis of urban school performance in Ohio. We found that in 2009-10, 26 percent of public school students (district and charter) in Ohio's Big 8 urban communities attended a school rated A or B by the state, 28 percent attend a C-rated school, and 47 percent attended a school rated D or F.
In partnership with Public Impact, we analyzed the 2009-10 academic performance data for charter and district schools in Ohio's eight largest urban cities:
Ohio Urban School Performance Report, 2009-10
Ohio Education Gadfly: Special Edition (our coverage of 2009-10 data)
We also conducted city-specific analyses:

The K-12 academic standards in English language arts (ELA) and math produced in June 2010 by the Common Core State Standards Initiative were clearer and more rigorous than ELA standards in 37 states and math standards in 39 states, according to this Fordham Institute study. In 33 of those states, the Common Core bested both ELA and math standards. Yet California, Indiana and the District of Columbia had ELA standards clearly superior to those of the Common Core. And nearly a dozen states had ELA or math standards in the same league as Common Core. Read on to find out more and see how your state fared.
Congratulations to Andrew Boy, the co-director and founder of Columbus Collegiate Academy, one of the six charter schools Fordham authorizes. Andy was just selected as a 2010 recipient of Columbus Business First's highly prestigious ???40 under 40' award. The award recognizes outstanding Columbus area leaders under the age of 40 who have demonstrated a high measure of success and are making a positive contribution to the community.
Andy stands among the few leaders in Ohio urban education committed and able to give disadvantaged students what they deserve ??? a top-notch education that prepares them for success in college. As a young teacher in Cincinnati, Andy improved the science proficiency scores of his fourth and sixth graders by 60 and 80 percentage points in three years, respectively. Today, Columbus Collegiate Academy ranks as one of the top performing schools in Columbus while serving a student body that is 94 percent economically disadvantaged.
Andy has achieved this success despite the serious challenges his charter school faced from the outset (opening in a time of budget cuts to charter schools, encountering obstacles related to school facilities, and dealing with tough student transportation issues). His school's recent selection as...
I downloaded Teach Like Champion 49 Techniques That Put Students on the Path to College by Doug Lemov this weekend, and have scarcely been able to put it down. Too often in education reform, books are quickly pushed into one of two camps: policy or practice. This is a book so elegant in its simplicity that it has the power to transform the conversations in both worlds. That is, if enough people in both policy and practice read it, get past the "mundane" techniques Lemov proposes, and absorb its true message.
I use the word mundane not because the techniques are insignificant. On the contrary, they are essential, practical, and--done right--transformative in their power to drive student achievement, teacher training and professional development, and related policy decisions. But, some--for instance, the advice on how to train students to pass out papers efficiently--upon first glance seem so trivial that it hardly seems worthy of the pages devoted to it. That is until you realize that investing an hour up-front to getting this right can literally save as many as eight full instructional days. Eight days. In an age when school districts are being forced to cut valuable instructional...
