Leaving Blogger?
My complaints with Blogger include: slow upload of images, NO upload of images, frequently no access to create new posts, slow service, complete denial of service for short periods of time, and then, of course, there was the earlier incident where they accused me of spam blogging and shut down my ability to post for over a week. (And the fact that I've been trying to post THIS writeup for the past 15 minutes... with no success.)
All in all, Blogger is a great way to get a blog up and going, but I'm beginning to think that The NXT STEP and its readers deserve better...
Thoughts/Comments from our readers will be appreciated.

Yes, please!
Took like 5 minutes to bring up this comment submitter, and site loads have been unbearably slow lately.

Check out pmachine.com. They have good hosting and great CMS / blogging product (EE).
I've used it, with much pleasure, on my site for a few years.

How about using WordPress?
The software is free, but you have to find a web host.

Hi Jim -
I'd suggest WordPress also. I use it for the nxtbot.com corporate LEGO blog (hosted by Yahoo) as well as my own personal automotive blog (www.drivelineblog, hosted by Dreamhost).

Jim, I'm combining Blogger with my own domain name. Blogger has the ability to publish the blog to your own website. Any "down" time after that is entirely attributed to your own site. I also put all the images into a directory on my site, so no Blogger intervention there.
The thing I like about blogger is that I have no worries about software installation or maintenance.
Off course, that doesn't solve the issues you've had with spam-blocking and problems publishing. I haven't encountered a lot of those myself, but your publishing frequency is a lot higher... Also, comments still go via Blogger's own servers, but I'm not experiencing your site as slow on that front.
If you republish your existing blog to your own domain name, your newly located blog will have all those comments people left in the past. It is a true migration. HOWEVER, your existing blog address would disappear, which would leave all those links broken...
If you do switch, I'd be interested if it was a lot of pain.

Several exhibits can be seen up and down the Forgotten Coast displaying some of the best art from years past.
Watch Art Happen will take place throughout the entire event as artists paint any open air scenery that grabs their attention all along the coast between Mexico Beach and Alligator Point.

Each winning painting is purchased by the Forgotten Coast Cultural Coalition and displayed the following year. Enjoy the best of the best daily from noon until 5 p.m. ET.
Each day of the event is packed with ways to quench your thirst for art. As much as it is about the paint, Plein Air is also a time to bring creative minds together in a social setting.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|darbepoetin alfa
|epoetin alfa
|Epogen, Procrit
Erythropoietin stimulating agents can be given two ways. They may be injected into a vein with an intravenous (IV) needle or injected under the skin (subcutaneous). Talk to your doctor about which way is best for you.
How It Works
Erythropoietin stimulating agents cause the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, and they decrease your need for blood transfusions. Anemia often occurs because of a decrease in erythropoietin, a hormone produced by the kidneys. Injections of erythropoietin stimulating agents replace this hormone.
Why It Is Used
Erythropoietin stimulating agents replace the erythropoietin normally made by the kidneys. Therapy with erythropoietin stimulating agents may be used to treat anemia:
- During hemodialysis. This is the most common use of this therapy. The use of erythropoietin stimulating agents in people receiving hemodialysis has almost eliminated the need for blood transfusions.
- When chronic kidney disease is present but kidney failure has not yet developed. Treatment with erythropoietin stimulating agents may delay the need to start dialysis. It improves anemia in most people who have not started dialysis.
How Well It Works
Erythropoietin stimulating agents treat anemia by increasing the number of new red blood cells your body makes. This may decrease your need for blood transfusions. Your dose of an erythropoietin stimulating agent may need to be adjusted so that you can keep a certain red blood cell count or level.
Things that may make this therapy less effective include:
- Too little iron in the blood (iron deficiency). This is the most common reason that erythropoietin stimulating agents may not be effective. Iron deficiency can be treated with oral or intravenous iron (iron therapy) to increase the amount of iron in your blood.
- Infection.
- Decreased sensitivity to erythropoietin.
- High levels of aluminum in your body, which may interfere with your ability to use iron.
- Dialysis procedures that are not removing enough fluids or wastes from your body (inadequate dialysis).
- Too little protein in the diet (protein malnutrition).
- Vitamin deficiencies such as vitamin B12 or folate.
- Ongoing bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call911or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- A seizure.
- Very high blood pressure.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Flu symptoms such as fever, chills, or body aches.
- Easy bruising.
- Unusual bleeding, such as from your nose, mouth, vagina, or rectum.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Most people do not have problems with erythropoietin stimulating agents. They can help improve how well you feel and increase your appetite, energy, and activity levels.
It may be dangerous to use erythropoietin stimulating agents to increase your red blood cell (hemoglobin) levels above 12 g/dL. Hemoglobin levels that are too high may increase your risk for death, heart failure, heart attack, and stroke. Talk with your doctor about your concerns. And keep all your appointments for blood tests.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Product Information
- Air Huntress Z-Curve Bow from Zing Toys
- Part of the Air Huntress brand
- We recommend this product for ages 8 and up
What It Is
Zing Toys has taken its popular Z-Curve Bow and given it a sparkly pink and purple makeover. With archery becoming more popular among girls thanks to female movie characters such as Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games and Brave's Merida, the Air Huntress Z-Curve Bow lets girls pretend to be like those movie characters with a bow designed just for them.
Like the original Z-Curve Bow, the Air Huntress version comes with three foam arrows: one Zartz arrow that sticks anywhere and two Zonic arrows that whistle as they soar through the air. Launching the arrows is easy and safe. Current safety regulations prevent manufacturers from making traditional bows with a long string. Zing Toys solved that problem by adding elastic loops to the bow and placing hooks on the foam arrows. Hook an arrow onto the elastic loops, pull back, and let go. With a little bit of effort, the arrows can fly more than 125 feet. Kids can set up cans for target practice or shoot against a wall for bounce-back action.
Is It Fun?
The Air Huntress Z-Curve Bow gives kids all the competitive fun of shooting a bow and arrow but in a safe way. The color scheme of this bow-and-arrow set is targeted toward girls, and girls who want to be like Katniss and Merida will really like having a bow and arrow of their own. The arrows do go far, but to get them to travel 125 feet, you have to pull the arrow back really far and exert some effort.
Who It's For
The Air Huntress Z-Curve Bow is for ages 8 and up. While the pink is a traditional girls' color, the bow works great, and any kid will have a blast with it.
What To Be Aware Of
Additional arrows are sold separately.
We recommend that adults supervise children when playing with the Air Huntress Z-Curve Bow. Set guidelines on what is an appropriate target—no aiming above the shoulders or below the waist, or at animals.

that actually very much depends.
1. if I were reading or listening to music, I probably wouldn't say anything to you, because generally I prefer reading/listening to music than talking to people. I am shy and self-conscious in rl hense I probably won't start a conversation with you, someone else has to start it. If i meet you online I can natter away to you like there's no tomorrow, but I can't do that offline. I am a totally different person.
2. if I were to start a conversation with anyone I would not ask personal questions of them until I had chatted to them about other random stuff first, like...the weather, current affairs, the speed of elevator repares etc. I would never start a conversation with 'Hi, how are you? are you gay or straight?' for example.
I kind of think that there's a certain amount of polite conversation one has to go through before one can start asking this sort of stuff simply to give both parties the chance to decide if this person is actually someone you want to interact with.
and honestly, when people start a conversation with something like, 'I've always wanted to know' it's like they aren't talking to you because they're interested in you at all, they just want to know some form of information that you can provide because you happen to be the right type of person.

The town derives its name from Goddess Chandi Devi whose temple stands 15-km form Chandigarh.
One of the few modern planned cities in India, Chandigarh is divided into 47 self-contained sectors. Architects Albert Mayer and Mathew Novicki drew the initial plans in New York. When the latter died in an air crash in 1950, the work was entrusted to Le Corbusier, a well-known architect and planner.
One can see architectural genius in the neat geometrical design of residential quarters, reinforced concrete structures and self-contained area layouts. Each sector of the city is designed with its own shops, academic, and health care buildings, places of worship, open spaces, greenery and the residential areas.
The city is divided into four major work areas. In the north, the capital complex, consisting of the Secretariat, Legislative Assembly and High Court, with the hills as a background dominating the city. Sector-17, which is the city and district centre, housing the administrative and state government offices, shopping malls, banks and other offices. The west contains the university, and institutions of engineering, architecture, Asian studies and medicine. Finally the east zone, which is the industrial area of the city.Population: About one million Climate: Summers are very hot. A good time to visit is after the rains, from September to November. Winters in Chandigarh can be quite cold, and days are crisp, smog-free and clear. Sunny winter afternoons are delightful and early mornings are chilly, as are the nights.
Main Language(s): Punjabi, Hindi and EnglishTime Zone: GMT + 05:30Phone Area Code: 0172Best Time To Visit: Between September and February.Airport Distance from City Center: 15 kmsTaxi Rates from Airport to City: Taxi service available at Rs. 275/- to city centre
Punjabi cuisine is robust and uses lots of vegetables. Spinach and mustard are favourites. If you haven't, then a sampling of Makki-di-roti and Sarson da Saag is a must. Punjabis are also famous for their fondness of dairy products like lassi, butter and ghee. Curd is used as a dish to balance hot spicy food. Sweets are quite rich, made of thickened milk and powdered lentils.
Chandigarh also has a large number of multi-cuisine restaurants that cater to almost any palate.

Open Hand Monument
The Open Hand Monument, a symbol of harmony and peace, is situated in Sector 1 along the main road leading into the city. The first thing you'll notice as you is the waist-high wicker fence which says 'for hon'ble judges only'. The best time to visit the Open Hand Monument in the early evening. There's is no entrance fee to the monument grounds. The monument is itself at a large distance away from the gate. It almost looks like a bird, slowly rotating on rusted bearings. It is, in fact, a large, open, metal hand pointed skyward. Some locals believe that the hand is supposed to represent the map of Haryana. The base of the monument, which supports the shaft and hand, has been fashioned out of a large, solid chunk of iron sunk several metres into the ground. The metal monument is 14 metres high and weighs 50 tons. The amazing thing about this monument is that it still rotates smoothly about its bearings.
Nek Chand's Rock Garden
This Rock Garden is probably Chandigarh's premier attraction, a popular spot for tourists. It was created by Nek Chand Saini, a resident of the city, in 1958. He used discarded objects of everyday use like bottles, tin cans, broken plugs, plates, saucers and rocks from the nearby Shivalik mountains to create a 40-acre fantasy labyrinth garden with arched walkways, streams, bridges, grottos, battlements, turrets and sculptures of people and animals. Highlights include armies of stone ducks, papier-mache soldiers, pig iron dancers and goblins.
The park is open daily from April to September between 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. Between October and March, it is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 6 p.m.
Sukhna lake
Also in Sector 1, the Sukhna Lake is an artificial reservoir. A popular place to hang out, one can expect to find residents of the city jogging or strolling along the banks. There is a walking path, a cafeteria, shops and a mini-amusement park and paddleboats. The Sukhna Lake was created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe, a seasonal stream that flows down from the Shivaliks. Storks and cranes make migratory stops at the lake. The lake, incidentally, has Asia's longest water channel for rowing and yachting.
Capital Complex
This area, with its monumental public buildings is the site of architect Le Corbusier's most ambitious experiments. The concrete campus and its accompanying lawns are meant to express the strength and unity of independent India. They are also Le Corbusier's way of staging the functions of government in symbolic and geometric relation to one another and to the rest of the city. For tourists, the High Court and the Open Hand Monument are more accessible than the Legislative Assembly and the Secretariat.
Leisure Valley
The linear Leisure Valley was sculpted from a dried riverbed. It is over 8 km long and runs through most of Chandigarh. The valley consists of several segments, each with its own theme. Flower gardens, jogging tracks and tennis courts dot the trail. There's even an open-air theatre and a sculpture park in the sector 10 section of the Valley.
Government Museum and Art Gallery
One of three museums clustered in Sector 10, the Government Museum and Art Gallery contains a modest collection of Indian stone sculptures, miniature paintings and modern art. The miniature paintings belong to the Mughal, Rajasthani and Kangra schools of art while the sculptures are from the Gandharva school of art.
National Gallery of Portraits - Nrityagram
Located in sector 17 B, this gallery was inaugrated in September 1977. It is filled with portraits of Indian freedom fighters, rare documents and recordings of the voices of prominent figures of India's Independence movement. The gallery also contains photographs and facsimiles of original writings, sculptures and ceramic murals.
Punjab Kala Kendra
The Punjab Kala Kendra is the office of the Punjab Arts Council (Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi). Exhibitions are frequently organised in its large galleries and the Council's permanent collection of contemporary art is also on display here.
Museum of the Evolution of Life (Science Museum)
Inaugurated on 14 August 1973, this museum is famous for a large gallery that depicts the origin of the earth and the evolution of life. Other galleries introduce the viewer to astronomy, geology and the world of ancient man.
International Dolls Museum
Situated in Bal Bhawan, Sector 23, the international dolls museum contains more than 300 dolls from nearly every country in the world. Ten ceramic murals and a large model train complete the display.

DESTIN — Whether it's a road, a pavilion or a parking lot, one thing is clear: Some residents and City Council members don't want anything on Norriego Point.
"There are just some things, some parts of this beautiful country, beautiful city that ought to be kept in their natural condition, pristine condition," said attorney John Connell, who represents the owners at East Pass Towers II. "It seems to me there are compelling reasons we can make to DEP (state Department of Transportation) and to NRDA (Natural Resources Damage Assessment) as to why this spit of land should be kept in its natural state. There are just some places that don't need to be built on."
Destin City Council members talked again last week about the Norriego Point Land Management Plan, which calls for the city to make improvements to the eroding park.
The conceptual improvements would include features such as interpretive signage, restrooms and a pavilion, with parking and some type of road to connect to the neighboring property, Galic-Pointe LLC, as well as a full stabilization of the point.
The project would cost more than $8 million, which ideally would be funded through the Natural Resources Damage Assessment program. The city already has applied for NRDA funding.
As part of the development order for the Galic-Pointe property, a road and roundabout would be built to connect the new project with the existing public parking area. The road would be located on a 100-foot city right of way.
Based on the conceptual plan, the city's proposed pavilion area is only a short distance from the edge of the Galic-Pointe property, so some type of road, path or trail would be needed for pedestrians to walk from the parking lot to the pavilion.
In his first year as a councilman, Tuffy Dixon said he has had more phone calls and talked to more people about the issue than any other since he was elected.
"There is a major, major concern about building any kind of road, and there is some concern about restroom facilities there on that piece of property," Dixon said.
Longtime Destin resident, boat captain and Okaloosa County Commissioner Kelly Windes agreed.
"I'm all about protecting that point," he said. "I'd like to find a way to do it without any more asphalt, concrete and roofs, but I don't know if we can."
Councilman Jim Bagby, who has been outspoken on the issue, proposed approving the long-range management plan for Norriego Point already submitted, but without the parking lot and road on the city's portion of the land.
"My hope for coming here tonight is that we would come to some type of compromise on the management plan that we could all support, even though we might not all like it," he said. "I'm begging you to take the parking and the road off of our portion of Norriego Point."
The council voted 6-0 to approve Bagby's proposal. Councilman Larry Williges was absent.
"The spirit of compromise and the spirit of Christmas were there," Bagby said after the meeting.

Sellafield bird poo radioactive – claim
Last updated at 18:50, Saturday, 09 June 2012
BIRDS that feed on insects from the waters near Sellafield are leaving behind radioactive droppings, a campaign group claims.
Cumbrians Opposed to a Radioactive Environment say swallows nesting on the site's transport section have been producing radioactive muck.
The group say the swallows' droppings have become contaminated due to their diet of mosquitos, which inhabit Sellafield's storage ponds.
The Environment Agency are believed to have confirmed the finding of radioactive droppings to a meeting of the environmental health sub-committee of the West Cumbria Sites Stakeholder Group, the independent body whose role is to provide public scrutiny of the nuclear industry in West Cumbria.
CORE's spokesman, Martin Forwood, said: "These much-loved and now radioactive birds and their offspring will unwittingly be carrying a highly toxic message from Sellafield when they migrate back to Southern Africa at the end of the summer.
"We'll be pressing the Environment Agency for more information."
A Sellafield spokesman said new bird exclusion measures are now being put in place across the site.
He said: "Sellafield Ltd is aware of the potential issue for birds to become contaminated with low levels of radioactivity as a result of historic operations at Sellafield.
"Monitoring and analysis by Sellafield Ltd has shown that the contamination poses no threat to health as there is no direct pathway for exposure to members of the public.
"Cleaning up the legacy buildings on the site will remove the source of contamination and remains a priority activity. In the meantime, measures are in place to reduce the possibility of birds gaining access to facilities.
"Possible problems are reduced by applying the principle of good housekeeping and the incorporation of bird exclusion measures. In addition, there is also a regular programme in place to ensure that any potential sources of nutrient and nesting material on site are removed, making it less attractive for birds to nest and breed."
A spokeswoman for the Environment Agency told the Evening Mail a statement on the matter would be issued in the coming weeks.

Have your say
You're more at risk from radiation by from living in a house made of granite!
Brian, i agree with you that this Sellafield/bird problem is very insignificant and the danger problem has been blown out of all proportion (and i don't work at Sellafield) but you just can't ignore the mess that SOME dog owners leave behind. The dog mess problem isn't so ingsignifant and needs to be tackled as it's a risk to peoples health, probably more so to children.

Sandy, Why Are You So Blue?
For all the speculation about the effect of Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath on the election, one important aspect has gotten surprisingly little attention: How many people will be unable to vote because of power outages, floods, and impaired transportation systems? How many will be deterred from voting because they are dealing with serious dislocations in their lives? And what new forms of Republican mischief will all this invite?
Other things being equal, President Obama seems to have been the winner so far because of his impressive handling of the crisis. Chris Christie surely helped on the image front.
But other things are not equal. Four days before the election, at least three million Americans are without power. And so are thousands of neighborhood polling places.
Bus and subway lines are not fully operating, and there are gas shortages, especially in New Jersey. Both factors raise obstacles to people getting to the polls.
Hundreds of thousands of people—conceivably more than a million—may not be able to vote in their usual polling place. Some may not bother to vote at all.
As always, lower-income voters, who tend to favor Democrats, have fewer options and backup plans than more affluent voters. Any competent political scientist will confirm that it's always a challenge to persuade lower-income citizens that voting can make a difference in their lives. The aftermath of the storm is just one more obstacle to full participation.
Last-minute shifts in polling venues are both confusing to voters and to local election officials, many of whom are volunteers. People who registered may not show up on lists if they are voting outside their usual location, leading to more ballot challenges than usual, even without Republican skullduggery.
Some jurisdictions are printing up paper ballots as a fallback, but the preparations seem surprisingly lackadaisical. At the very least, all of this introduces new uncertainty and new opportunities for ballot challenges.
Under the Help America Vote Act of 2002, passed after the 2000 election debacle, federal law requires local officials to permit provisional voting if there is some question about whether a citizen is entitled to cast a ballot. But provisional voting invites legal appeals, and God help us if the number of challenged ballots in a key swing state exceeds the margin separating the candidates. Worst case, we could see the courts getting involved, with ominous echoes of the Supreme Court's theft of the 2000 election.
It may seem comforting to Democrats that most of the hardest-hit states are safely blue. But think again. Although Obama seems narrowly ahead in the projected electoral count, the popular vote seems to be almost a tie. To win it, Obama needs to roll up big margins in states deep blue like New York—where turnout could well be depressed. He would of course still be president if he won the Electoral College and lost the popular vote. But in terms of the national psychology (and his own self-confidence as a fighter), Obama would have more of the appearance of a mandate if he won the popular vote.
One of the hard hit states, Pennsylvania, is still close enough that Republicans are throwing money into it. At this writing, between 250 and 300 Pennsylvania polling places are still without power, along with 307,000 Pennsylvania citizens. On balance, any fallout from the storm that depresses turnout is not good for Democrats.
Mercifully, the talk from earlier in the week that a state might actually try to postpone Election Day has faded. It's clear that only Congress has the right to set Election Day. If elections were not postponed during the Civil War, it's unthinkable that they'd be postponed a week after a hurricane. Even The Wall Street Journal editorial page discouraged the idea of delaying the election (maybe because Obama's lead is widening?)
But after what we've seen in the past several elections in Republican voter-suppression efforts, never estimate the cynicism of the GOP or its appetite for fishing in troubled waters. The best antidote to all of this is a big general turnout and a stormproof margin of Democratic victory.

Setting aside the fact that you're all but conceding Obama stands a real chance of not winning the popular vote (something that used to make presidents "illegitimate" in libs' eyes, but what are principles when power is at stake?), what I find most interesting is your completely uncalled-for crack about the Wall Street Journal being against changing the election date with that juvenile rhetorical question about the polls. You either don't read the Journal regularly or you are applying New York Times standards of honesty to WSJ editorials. Save the situational ethics for your friends at the Gray Lady. And as for you, sans, the guy's name is Mitt. Wisdom is probably beyond you, but it would do you no harm to learn some manners. (You can start by repeating slowly, "President-elect Romney ..."
Mon, 2012-11-05 21:37
You might find the standards more to your liking over at Red State or Breitbart.
As for this, "it would do you no harm to learn some manners. " Just wow. You visit a Progressive website and throw down your negative comment and then have the nerve to talk about manners? That would be President Obama to you, please.

The majority of Americans have not been duped by the billionaire-funded right wing propaganda machine. Their lies and ridiculous conspiracy theories are no match for intelligent Americans who seek progress and equality, and want to work as a team. Enjoy the President's victory on Tuesday, and the victory for decent Americans all over this country who don't want their government run by the hateful, delusional Limbaugh/Faux faithful.

Yes, that's what I thought. And that's why I think Bruce Willis is challenging it.raisindot wrote:Tonyblack wrote:Bouncy Castle wrote:I think that's a tad mean to Mr Willis, that he won't be able to leave them to his daughters. Then again, are his tastes their tastes?
I think that's kind of not the point and suspect this is Bruce making a point that is relevant to this thread. If they had been paper books then there would be no problem whatsoever of him leaving them to his daughters, or giving them to friends, or loaning them or whatever. Digital media says you can't do that. Well why not? If you pay money for something it should be yours to do with as you wish - shouldn't it?
Actually, this isn't true. When you buy digital media you're not buying the media itself--you're buying a LICENSE to use that piece of media on whatever device or devices the licenses allows you. It's the same with software. You're just buying a license to use that software on however many machines the license allows. The license is yours and is generally non-transferable. That's why it's technically illegal to sell copyrighted software (at least here in the States), since it's a violation of copyright laws. The laws on 'possession' of books, printed matter and other 'physical' items with copyrights are different, although it's also illegal to copy books or copy tracks from LPs, records or anything else and make mix tapes or MP3 disks or whatever. Of course, the existence of these laws has been nearly completely ineffective in preventing people from copying and distributing pieces of protected property. The difference with E-books is that Amazon and Apple have ways of building verification into the files themselves to prevent unauthorized copying (or at least identify it when it is occuring).

| Egyptian hieroglyph
| Proto-Semitic
| Phoenician
| Etruscan
| Greek
| Roman/Cyrillic
E is derived from the Greek letter epsilon which is much the same in appearance (Ε, ε) and function. In etymology, the Semitic hê probably first represented a praying or calling human figure (hillul jubilation), and was probably based on a similar Egyptian hieroglyph that was pronounced and used quite differently. In Semitic, the letter represented /h/ (and /e/ in foreign words), in Greek hê became Εψιλον (Epsilon) with the value /e/. Etruscans and Romans followed this usage. Arising from the Great Vowel Shift, English usage is rather different, namely /iː/ (derived from /eː/ in "me" or "bee") whereas other words like "bed" are closer to Latin and other languages in usage.
Digraphs starting with E are common in many languages to indicate diphthongs and monophthongs, such as EA or EE for /iː/ or /eɪ/ in English, EI for /aɪ/ in German, or EU for /ø/ in French or /ɔɪ/ in German.
At the end of a word, E is very often silent in English (silent e), where old noun inflections have been dropped, although even when silent at the end of a word it often causes vowels in the word to be pronounced as diphthongs, conventionally called long vowels (compare as a noun rat and as a verb rate).
The letter 'E' is the most common (or highest frequency) letter in the English language (starting off the typographer's phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU) and many other related languages, which has implications in both cryptography and data compression. This makes it a difficult and popular letter to use when writing lipograms. Ernest Vincent Wright's Gadsby (1939), is considered a "dreadful" novel, and that "at least part of Wright's narrative difficulties were caused by language restrictions imposed by the lack of E. Both Georges Perec's novel A Void (La Disparition) (1969) and its English translation by Gilbert Adair omit the letter E and are considered better works.
The ASCII code for capital E is 69 and for lowercase e is 101; or in binary 01000101 and 01100101, correspondingly.
The EBCDIC code for capital E is 197 and for lowercase e is 133.
The numeric character references in HTML and XML are "E" and "e" for upper and lower case respectively.

This week, L.A. Weekly unleashes food critic Jonathan Gold's round-up of 99 essential L.A. restaurants. We advise a slow scan of the whole thing — with note-taking — but here's what JGold had to say about some of the local eateries that made the quintessential cut:
- Babita
1823 S. San Gabriel Blvd., San Gabriel
(626) 288-7265
Lunch: Tues.-Fri., 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Dinner: Sun., Tues.-Thurs., 5:30-9 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 5:30-10 p.m.
"A few of the classic-seeming dishes may have been invented by (owner Roberto) Berrelleza himself: his fish-stuffed gueritos chiles in strawberry salsa, his seared halibut with huitlacoche vinaigrette, and his habanero-inflected shrimp Topolobampo, a singularly fiery dish that can take over its victims' bodies like the plague."
That's Berrelleza at right. (File photo)
749 E. Altadena Drive, Altadena

We were more excited to buzz this turkey on the dyno than we usually are with some whumpin' big-block. Why? It's different. Not too many people build V-6s any more. Perhaps we found out why, but we still think it's neat-or at least cute. See, the '85-up Chevy 4.3L, 262ci V-6 is very much like a small-block Chevy minus the number 3 and 6 cylinders (check the valve layout and you'll see how we came up with that conclusion). They're common in '88-up trucks, and we still get so many letters asking how to feed a V-8 to an S-10 truck that this time we elected to answer the question no one asked: How do you get more wheeze out of the stock 4.3?
But first, a little V-6 lore. The units we're concerned with are the Chevy 90-degree variety, meaning that the cylinder banks are set at a 90-degree angleto each other, just like a small-block V-8. The bore centers (4.400) and deck height (9.025) are also identical to a Mouse motor. The '85-up 4.3L V-6 has the same bore and stroke as a 350 V-8 (4.000x3.480), and takes the same pistons, cam bearings, main bearings, valvetrain parts, timing cover, oil pump, and front dress. Any V-8 trans will bolt right up to the 90-degree sixer. The 4.3L has much more performance potential than the '78-'79 200ci V-6 or the '80-'84 229ci version due to those engines' small 3.500- and 3.736-inch bores (they're like mini 262ci and 305ci V-8s). Also, the 200 and 229 have semi-odd-fire cranks (132/108-degree firing), while the 4.3Ls are true even-fire engines. Not that 4.3s aren't still quivering little suckers, hence the introduction of a balance shaft in the lifter valley of 4.3s beginning in late '92 or early '93. The even-fire 4.3 cranks can be identified by their split-pin cranks-each rod pin is offset in the middle by 30 degrees. There are also common-pin V-6 cranks (they look just like conventional V-8 cranks) developed for the Chevy V-6's Busch Grand National racing days, but those are odd-fire units.
Like the Chevy V-8, the 90-degree V-6 saw some transition during production: factory hydraulic roller lifters, one-piece rear-main seals, and center-bolt valve covers all appeared in '86-'87. Just like a V-8, one-piece-seal cranks can be swapped into two-piece-seal blocks with commonly available adapters. The 4.3L has been offered with carburetors, throttle-body injection, and the current central-port Vortech injection that was introduced in '95 (we think) along with an intake-manifold flange that requires vertical bolts; as far as we know, a carbureted intake is not available for V-6 Vortech heads.
1 We began the 4.3L V-6 buildup with the knowledge that the pistons are the same as a 350 V-8's. Our pick was the Speed Pro LW2256-F-060, a lightweight forging (686 grams) with four valve reliefs with 6.1 cc of dish. The rings are Sealed Power R9902-060 file-fits set at 0.024 and 0.020, a bit wide so we can hammer this thing with nitrous and not worry about butting the end gaps. The V-6 is known as a shaker, so we had Dougan's Engine do a precision balance job.
2 The 4.3L conrods are 5.700 inches like a 350, but the journal size is 2.250 rather than the V-8's 2.100; we presume that the reason for the bigger journal is to add strength to the offset-style rod pins on the crank. Dougan's was able to modify Milodon 190,000-psi rod bolts for a 350 application just by clearancing the heads a bit, as shown on the right.
3 If our descriptions of a split-pin crank seemed a bit muddy, this photo should light a bulb for you. See how two rods (arrows) on the same journal are offset a bit? They're also separated by a cast-in thrust surface, and hence, the rods are narrower than a V-8's. Still, Sealed Power makes tri-metal bearings for the application (PN 6-1020CP). The Milodon main studs and oil-pump stud were sourced from a V-8 application. The oil-filter pad is much tinier than a V-8's; it takes an AC PF52 filter.
4 The Speed Pro pistons come stock with 6.1cc of valve relief. Combined with stock heads that Dougan's checked at 68cc chambers, pistons that we set at an average of 0.010 below deck, and Fel-Pro head gaskets with 0.041 compressed thickness, the V-6 would have 9.63:1 compression. Stock was 8.6:1. Because we changed plans midstream and decided to someday try the Vortech blower for carbs on this engine (see the story in this issue), we asked Dougan's to mill a 3.475x0.060 dish in the pistons for a total volume of 12 cc, lowering the compression to 9.08:1. For now, it runs fine on cheap gas.
5 To wrap up the bottom end, we twisted Dougan's builder Jeff Jacobs' arm until he agreed to modify our Milodon 350 windage tray to fit the V-6. He cut a few inches off the front, enlarged one bolt hole (arrow) to clear the dipstick tube, and tweaked a few louvers to fit the stock oil pan. Also check out the oil pump and pickup-they are Sealed Power part numbers 224-43469V (pump) and 224-14263 (pickup), an upgrade over the stock V-6 parts because they employ a 3/4-inch pickup tube. The steel oil-pump driveshaft is Sealed Power PN 224-6146E.
6 Dougan's Ray Field spotted the funky V-6 balancer (left) with a lip around the edge that might prevent the use of aftermarket pulleys even though the bolt pattern is the same as a V-8. You can use conventional short- or long-water-pump accessories on the 4.3. We also wanted a steel balancer in case we ever add the blower, and we needed an SFI-approved balancer for the track. Dougan's found that the Pioneer balancer (PN 872021) on the right is a 6.125-inch, lightweight V-8 unit that would fit perfectly. Neat! The 4.3L is an internally balanced engine like a 350.
7 A 4.3L can be cammed just like it was a 350 because each cylinder has the same displacement as its V-8 bro, though cams will seem bigger in the V-6 because there's less power overlap. Off-the-shelf cam grinds are pretty tiny for use with the OE computer-controlled applications that house most of these engines. We nabbed Comp Cams biggest hydraulic roller for our factory roller block, a 280HR with 224/224 duration at 0.050, 0.525 lift, and a 110-degree lobe-separation angle. The cam kit (PN K09-430-8) comes with cam, lifters, retainers, locks, seals, timing set, valvesprings, pushrods, guideplates, and rocker studs. At $638.69 (Summit), it's the biggest expense of the buildup, but also the key to making this thing run.
8 During assembly, Dougan's pointed out that the 0.350-inch lobe lift was all the block could take-any more and the hydraulic lifter would hit the stock-style link bars.

Vic Schaefer is not into moral victories.
When it comes to playing in the Southeastern Conference, the Mississippi State women's coach knows that playing close and not getting the job done in the end is not good enough.
Schaefer was proud that his Bulldogs played hard and found a way to lead the Florida Gators before losing a 61-55 decision Thursday night.
As much as he liked the fight his team showed, Schaefer can't accept it resulting in a loss.
"I can't be satisfied about losing by six to Florida when we fouled to give them their last six points," Schaefer said. "I just can't do it. It's not my make up. We played hard and I'm proud of them for competing.
They feel pretty good about how hard they played. I don't think they are very happy about losing at the end of the day. They didn't bring me to Mississippi State and write me a check every two weeks to lose."
MSU, which has an 8-8 overall mark, looks to break through in the SEC today when it travels to LSU. The tip is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, La.
The Bulldogs have lost their first three league games, but have improved the point spread in each outing.
After starting the conference schedule with a 92-41 loss at Vanderbilt, MSU lost home decisions to South Carolina 60-46 and Florida.
Schaefer used the word "disappointing" to describe his feeling after the loss to the Gators, only because the Bulldogs were close and didn't finish.
"It needs to translate into a victory and you hate to let one get away," Schaefer said. "We're not going to light the world on fire offensively. We have too many deficiencies in that area."
Sophomore Martha Alwal, who achieved her seventh double-double of the season against Florida with 17 points and 12 rebounds, said MSU needs to continue striving to get better.
Even though Alwal saw signs of improvement against the Gators, the areas of committing fouls and turnovers are hurting the Bulldogs right now.
Now that MSU goes on the road again, Alwal knows the concentration must be at a higher level.
"If we can control those two aspects, we'll be fine and we'll be there," Alwal said. "(We need to) play as hard as we did (against Florida) and tune the crowd out (at LSU). (We need to) play to our drum, go and work hard."
Alwal and former West Oktibbeha player Shamia Robinson were the starters in the front court for the Bulldogs against Florida, while Candace Foster, Kendra Grant and Jerica James began the game at guards. Grant averages 13.1 points per game to lead the squad.
Injuries to Sherise Williams and Darriel Gaynor forced Schaefer to juggle his lineup. Williams has a stress fracture of the lower leg and won't play for four to six weeks, while Gaynor has a foot injury and her situation is day to day.
"I promise you nobody in the SEC is going to feel sorry for us," Schaefer said. "When they get you down, they keep a foot on your throat. That's the idea with anybody. It's a hard league to get well in."
LSU stands 10-6 overall, but has lost two of its three SEC games.
Coach Nikki Caldwell said the Lady Tigers are a team "searching for an identity," but does have the league's top scorer in Theresa Plaisance, who averages 18.3 points per game.
"It may be the strongest team we put on the court offensively, but on the flip side, one of the weakest teams defensively historically," Caldwell said. "We are getting good play out of Theresa Plaisance, who has emerged as a go-to for us. Our freshman Danielle Ballard is putting up unbelievable numbers for us on both ends of the floor. It's still early in the season and more games to be played."
While LSU believes it still has time for its team to come together and find success, MSU won't be happy unless it leaves the court with an SEC victory in the very near future.
