Battery Life
By Abby

About Me Teacher
I use this product in my classroom several times a week for students to time themselves during reading passages and during their word sorts. They try and beat their previous times during their sorts. I am first off very disappointed with the battery life in general. They do not last very long at all. I was not expecting to have to replace the batteries on 15 stopwatches every year. Also, I am having a very difficult time finding batteries that work well in the stopwatches without spending more on the batteries than I did on the stopwatches. I am not given a budget at my school so I am having to buy these batteries out of my own pocket for my classroom, which I am more than happy to do if they would last longer than a year.
Merchant response: We are so sorry that you received a defective product. The battery should last for at least 6 months or more. Please contact customer service at firstname.lastname@example.com and they will send you a new one. Thank you.

About Me Grandparent
Looking for a simple stop watch for my granddaughter that didn't have all the bells and whistles.This one fit perfectly. She absolutely love it . It was used without explanation, that's how simple this one is .Now, she is 9 and proabaly could have handle some more features, but she was excited that it was so easy to use. She like the cord so she could just hang around her neck . i like it because she can apply it to many daily task like cleaning her room, school work etc.
The perfect stopwatch
By Mary

About Me Education Oriented
We use these stopwatches to time oral presentations. They have only three functions: Start, Stop, and Clear making them easy to use and perfect for a busy instructor or a student assistant to use.
By Greg's Mom
from Houston, Texas
The LED display never shuts off. I thankfully was able to return it. NO where in any discription of this stop watch does it ever say that the readout is constantly on. It's also a bit bigger thank I expected. The older children shunned using it because it looks like a baby toy. I had this for three weeks before the battery died. Replacing the batteries is nearly as cumbersome and costly and shopping for a new stopwatch. The manufacturer needs to redesign this product with these problems in mind.
Merchant response: We are so sorry that you received a defective product. The battery should last for at least 6 months or more. Changing the battery is really simple by using a screwdriver and a standard button cell battery. The LED display does not shut off, however it uses very little battery drain. This specific stopwatch is intended for younger children (ages 5+) but we do have other stopwatches that are for older children (LER0525 & LER4338). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact customer service at email@example.com. Thank you.
Great Price for Our School!

Perfect Stopwatch for children or adults
By JoeyGirl

About Me Stay At Home Parent
Great little unit - buttons are good size, clear display. Lots of interactive fun with my son - who can hold there breath the longest? - how long does it take for the bath to drain? Lots of fun and it teaches him to have a better understanding of time. Only fault is there is no OFF button - I hung it on the door knob and three days later when we went to time something . . . the batteries dead
Merchant response: As per our product engineers, the battery life for this particular product should last about a year & a half under normal usage. Yes, the watch is constantly on once the tab is pulled out but if it is not used/played, it uses very little battery.

Hey, kids! BloodHag is having a little contest and literacy test on their MySpace page here. For those who do not want to click on the link to enter MySpace, a.k.a. Rupert Murdochsphere, then read the rules below. In the mean time, check out their new album Hell Bent for Letters (Virus 357) on CD or LP!!
BloodHag contest! Find the missing lyric and win!
BloodHag is well known for being well-read, unfortunately, our laser-like focus on reading sometimes backfires on us, and we neglect the other areas of our life. This neglect has surfaced in the worst place...our new album!
Yes, folks, due to inattention on the part of Dr. J.M. McNulty and myself a lyric has been left out of one of our songs! I don't mean we forgot to print it in the liner notes, I mean we recorded the lyric, but due to some screw-up during the mixdown on Protools, a whole line was left out of one of our songs! As the singer and lyric-writer it really kind of pisses me off, but it's all my fault, since I was there during mixdown and didn't notice anything at the time.
So, most of you who haven't seen us perform this particular song live probably would not have noticed this missing line, but if you studiously read the lyrics and compare them with the songs (since of course all you fans have no problem understanding my vocals), you'll find the missing super-brilliant lyric.
Which brings us to the contest! Find the missing lyric and win a BloodHag t-shirt and an autographed Sci-Fi paperback!
How to play: Find the missing lyric and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com, include your email, t-shirt size and mailing address. I will collect the correct answers until the deadline on 11:59pm, August 31st, 2006. I will write all the names on little pieces of paper, put them all in Zach's Highlander baseball cap and draw out the winner's name. I will contact you, and you will freak out with joy and wait by the mailbox every day until your prize arrives (allow 6-8 weeks for delivery).
DO NOT send your answer to the myspace email.
So take advantage of our inattentiveness and win big! If you haven't bought the CD yet, go to alternativetentacles.com and buy it now!
Thanks everybody, look for us back on the road in October!
As part of the RollerCon 2006 festivities, The 'Pricks will play their final show ever at the always entertaining Double Down Saloon this Saturday July 29th!

Please strongly consider donating to Devon's medical fund, I just did! A benefit at 924 Gilman just raised a nice chunk of change but it's just a drop in the bucket- as anyone who has dealt with catastrophic medical procedures knows. We're all just one twist of fate away from his situation.Thanks, Jesse Luscious/AT Mail Male
From T-dawg comes this update:"He's listed as stable in the ICU, he's unconscious, but his recovery looks good if he stays the course he's on right now. Either way, its going to be a long road to being his usual self. The bullet that is lodged in his brain is not going to be removed, as the doctors fear it would do more damage to operate to remove it than to leave it where it is.
One of his closest pals, Matt Howse, has sorted out an account for Devon, for those of us who want to contribute to helping him on his way to recovery. It's very important to us that everyone understands that 100% of every dime that goes into this account will go to Devon and Devon only. There aren't any middlemen, percentage takers or foundations that can get their hands on it. I've set this up on behalf of his family and friends, so any questions, please ask. It's even a free checking account to they won't even take fees for it.
So, you can send in money three ways; mail a check/money order/whatever to Devon Get Better c/o Sacred Tattoo 707 Broadway Oakland, CA 94607 (Make sure checks are made out to "Devon Get Better" which is what Matt has set up the account under) or you can deposit money into the account directly at any Washington Mutual branch, the account number is 3063634311. I've also set up a Paypal account for those who use Paypal, the address you send money to is firstname.lastname@example.com
The art benefits and shows will be starting this week, and will continue as long as there's drive from all of us. For anyone who wants to contribute art, tattoo time, or anything else that can be contributed towards his recovery, you're more than welcome to. Just contact Matt Howse at email@example.com for details.
We've met with the neurosurgeon who's overseeing Devon, his prognosis is good for the type of injury he's sustained, but it will be days or weeks before we know how he'll fare with being his old self. All of our love to our friend."

"Hey Jello. Earlier this week, I got into an "incident" involving the John Yates "democracy we deliver" shirt, and an article about it was written in the underground school paper. A friend suggested I forward it to you because you'd like it, so, here you are:
'Student Activist Suspended For Wearing Political ShirtBy Ricky C., May 18 2006
Some may know her as a musician. Others may know her as an artist. But no matter what, she will always be one of the most outspoken people in the school. She is none other than Sarah. The past Monday, she was seen wearing a shirt that read "Democracy we Deliver" with an image of a fighter plane on it, on her way to school. "Everyone was staring!" She exlaimed in an interview. "It's like they've never seen a girl before! No surprise there, since 'Yuppieville' is filled with republican neo-nazi's with closed minds."
She was later suspended by Mr. B. for one week, and at the announcement of this, the school went into an uproar. "It was extremist liberals against extremist conservatives for the whole week, everyone had an opinion on why or why I shouldn't be suspended, even the teachers were bitter with each other". When I asked her why she wore the shirt, she replied "I just... felt like it. Making a statement is nothing new to me, but I haven't worn that shirt before (I had gotten it as a birthday gift), so maybe that's why everyone was shocked".
On the second day of suspension, Sarah went back to Mr. B., with reasons why she should be allowed to wear what she wants. "I told him that if some girls were allowed to wear shirts that say 'I had a nightmare I was a brunette' on them, I should be allowed to wear mine. Both insult someone, so, if you ban one, you ban 'em all. I also said that there was nothing obscene on it, and it didn't violate any dress codes". With this, and the following days' presented petition, Mr. B. voided the suspension and let her back in. This just shows how art can be an effective way to protest.'
It was actually quite fun, seeing the expressions on everyones faces when I walked in. Our whole grade is going to Washington D.C. next week... you can probably guess what I'm going to wear on our tour of the White House! Have a great weekend.
Sincerely yours, Sarah"
From AT fan "Ra": Hi, This is a sad day indeed. The signing of a christian rock band to AT marks the end of an era. Simply stated christianity was started by men so they could better control women and animals. I've heard you speak out against misogyny. Christians have a pretty damn powerful version of their own.What's next for AT - white power bands? There are tons of white power/christian punk bands you could sign. They're equally fucked up and deplorable and some of them really can rock.I suppose I shouldn't fault you for signing bands that support misogyny, racism and animal abuse, it is wrapped in such a pretty package, but you've always seemed like such a stand-up guy and I doubt you lead your life based on a myth..As long as you sign Christian rock I'm going to stop supporting AT, except for The Fleshies(I'm not crazy), and I just stopped my cave news subscription that I've enjoyed for years. This sux..groove, ra
There is nothing alternative about christianity but it is tentacle."
And here's Michael Andrews/KOTNC response:"Hello Ra, I'm Mike from the Knights of the New Crusade. Your e-mail was forwarded to me by AT, though they didn't ask that I reply so nothing I say should be taken as a statement of the views of anyone there, including Jello. I hope you don't mind the unsolicited response, but I felt that I should try to clear up some misapprehensions you seem to have.There are many belief systems presented by various people as Christianity. Personally, I believe them to be true inasmuch as they adhere to the teachings of Jesus Christ as presented in the New Testament. I wouldn't be surprised if such a profession of faith causes an immediate and adverse reaction, since it does so to many people, but please bear with me.The modern, institutional "Christianity" (what Kirkegaard called "Christendom," as we do on our AT album) that hypocritical politicians and corporate interests use to cloak their distinctly unChristian practices is a pernicious corruption of Christ's teachings. Unfortunately, this is hardly a new thing: as soon as the Roman Empire co-opted Christianity (some would even say as soon as Paul started to interpolate his beliefs), true Christianity began to be obscured.I can certainly understand someone being disgusted with how Christianity has been presented over the centuries. But being disgusted with, say, Blink 182 is no reason to to be disgusted with the music of the Damned or Johnny Moped.With all due respect, I have to disagree with your simple statement, which is not only simplistic but erroneous (a statement such as you make really needs some evidence: "Saying don't make it so," as my grandfather often said). Here's my evidence to the contrary: Jesus was clearly against racism and misogony, as well as war. He told us that we should love our fellow humans, even those who hate us. We of the Knights are probably more distressed than you at how His message has been corrupted (usually by dragging in parts of the Old Testament that were superceded by Christ). Anyone who corrupts His teaching for the sake of promoting racism, misogony or war is doing the work of Satan, not God.As far as animal abuse, that's a matter of judgement. If you are a vegan, for instance, you might regard any eating or use of animals and their products as abuse. If you feel strongly enough about it, you might want to boycott all bands that have one or more members who don't conform to your beliefs: it is certainly your right to do so. I hope that whatever your beliefs in the matter, you apply them impartially. Of course, it's also your right to dislike Christian bands that eat meat and cheese for doing so, but to not mind if non-Christian bands eat meat and cheese, if that's what you wish. Please bear in mind that I'm only conjecturing what you might be thinking, since you didn't specify what you meant by animal abuse.By the way, I doubt that anyone has ever started (or corrupted) a religion in order to better control animals: animals seem rather immune to religious influence. I do apologize on behalf of my Master for sending the legion of demons into the pigs, however: as someone who's always liked pigs (one of the most intelligent animals), I've always been rather disturbed by that passage, since He seemed to be showing greater mercy to the demons than to the pigs . Maybe it made more sense to people at the time because of the Hebraic dietary restrictions: there's a lot I don't know, though I'm trying to learn.Thanks for caring enough to write to AT, and for your time. As God said to Isiah, "Come, let us reason together."
From AT fan "Ra":t first I was impressed that you would respond to this lone voice but then I remembered that is what evangicals do - relentlessly. However I'm still not convinced this isn't a publicity stunt. It's hard for me to believe that someone who can compose a fairly articulate letter would disregard fossil evidence, believe this planet is less than 6000 years old and believe in a book with over 250 self-contradictions. Science says anything that self-contradicts itself even once is flawed. That makes perfect sense to me and proves the bible is fiction many times over. Not even good fiction at that.Your arguments concerning the difference between the new and old testament, god and satan, are moot to me because I'm an atheist and don't believe in utter nonsense about gods or that either of the testaments from any religion are divine in nature. When I hear a christian talk about disregarding the old testiment for the new it makes me want to point out how absurd that is but it takes way too long and they are typically too brainwashed to listen to reason. Personally I think you're trying to cash in on the fracas by standing on the shoulders of bands like Gwar.It's patently obvious that Jesus Christ was no different than Jimmie Jones, Charles Manson, Joseph Smith, David Koresh or jojo the monkey boy.. He was just another charismatic lunatic who believed he was having conversations with devils and gods - if he existed at all.For myself it's easy to see through religions transparent goal - to gain power and wealth and to control women, animals and gullible men.. I'm at a loss as to why most of the population doesn't see it that way. I can only chalk it up to ignorance and/or brainwashing because it flies in the face of reason.Take the LDS religion for example. Joe Smith(the founder) and his father were professional con men but ppl blindly believe his ludicrous story enough to give up 10 percent of their annual income. That particular religion is less than 200 years old and has millions of followers. To me that is evidence to the gullibility of most humans.Christianity is so old and convoluted it has less credence than the, obviously fabricated, LDS religion which has no credence at all. One must ignore scientific evidence to believe in christianity. That's asking a lot from rational ppl who are not brainwashed. Remember the brainwashed do not know they are brainwashed. That includes you if you're serious about this nonsense.You have absolutely no historical or empirical evidence to back the preposterous claims made in the bible. You just have blind faith and unquestioning obedience. That is the mark of ignorance and brainwashing. There is a good reason that atheists are typically very educated ppl. Education is the enemy of religion. Historically Christians use biblical scriptures to justify murder, torture, slavery, racism, sexism, speciesism and war. All in the name of a mythical god. Therefore you help to promote ignorance and evil.>>>>> "If you are a vegan, for instance, you might regard any eating or use of animals and their products as abuse." I am and I do.. >>>>> "you might want to boycott all bands that have one or more members who don't conform to your beliefs."If a band is overtly preaching something I consider evil i.e. - religion(KNC ), animal abuse(ted nugent), misogyny(much rap) - I do boycott them. I don't research what individual band members of all music I listen to believe. Who has the time for that? But if they are, lyrically, a one trick pony like you guys are then you make it obvious what you are about and I will check my wallet accordingly.>>>>> "I doubt that anyone has ever started (or corrupted) a religion in order to better control animals: animals seem rather immune to religious influence."This drives my point home that religious ppl are either ignorant or brainwashed. The list of religions that have sacrificed animals is too lengthy to mention. There are several that still practice it. Some of them derived from christianity.No thanks to the bible many amerikkkans kill snakes on sight. I even recall some scripture that said god makes them eat dust for their lives. Not to mention that god made all women suffer for Eves transgressions. News flash: The time of the bible was a patriarchal culture. Women and animals were in the same category - chattel.chat�tel Pronunciation Key (chtl) n. Law. An article of movable personal property. A slave. Animals and women were the personal property of men and could be abused or killed with no recourse.The biblical story of Adam and Eve clearly makes a woman and an animal into the enemy of man. Eve's decision to obey the snake leads to man's pain and suffering and cleary puts them below man. The bible gives man authority over animals. That's crap. Animals have their own lives and are not ours to use for any reason. Period!Your religion claims animals do not have a soul, have no conscious or feelings, only humans do. That is poppycock and is a means of control.I have more news for you.. We are animals! Humans and chimpanzees have about 98.4% of their genes in common. We are just the smartest monkey.The Bible clearly supports animal sacrifice and meateating. That is animal abuse plain and simple.The bible allows man to reduce the rest of the earth's population to serfdom. The bible is evil.If christians care about animals as their "dominion" then why don't they do something about factory farms? No pain and suffering in human history can compare with the animal abuse of factory farming methods and yet christians help it proliferate daily. That is evil.. Christians are among the most ignorant hypocrites in history. People like the Knights of the New Crusade make me proud to be an atheist and a vegetarian. The atheists I know have MUCH higher moral standards than the christians I know. The fact is that our prisons are full of christians while our institutions of higher learning are full of atheists. The christian concept of morality based upon coercion, guilt, punishment and enticements of a paradise are utterly deplorable.It creates nations of neurosis...I think christianity is disgusting, pernicious and thickheaded. I stand by my original email to Jello and will continue to boycott AT now that they have joined the dark side.If this is all a joke and you're making $ then all I can say is bravo!! Good show.. Otherwise you're a different kind of joke in my book.groove, ra

Under Water Pressure
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, center, accompanied by Senator Jeff Bingaman, right, speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, October 1, 2009, to discuss future activities relating to the Navajo-Gallup water supply project.
Five years after the Wampanoag tribe shared a three-day feast of maize, venison, eel, and shellfish with a hapless group of English separatists in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the Dutch governor of New York bought the island of Manhattan from the Canarsie tribe for $24 worth of gold. This week, thousands of New Yorkers will fly out of La Guardia for Thanksgiving, and those fortunate enough to do so in the evening will enjoy a spectacular view of the return on that investment; phosphorescent skyscrapers and over a hundred-thousand streetlights trace a real-estate market valued at just under $1 trillion. Nowhere else has the memory of conquest been so thoroughly blotted out, and perhaps as an extension, nowhere else is a history of non-native influx more central to a city's identity. But the transfer of title is not so complete in many parts of the country. At the Department of the Interior in Washington last week, where a tarpaulin banner on the portico façade encouraged visitors to "Celebrate Native American Heritage Month," Secretary Ken Salazar commemorated our country's original occupants in classic fashion: he hosted a land dispute between Native Americans and colonizers.
At issue were Navajo and Hopi water claims to the Little Colorado River, an aquamarine tributary meandering through 300 miles of clay bluffs just east of the Grand Canyon. For 40 years, the Navajo and Hopi tribes have leased land and water to Peabody Western Coal Company, which mines on the Navajo Reservation, and the Navajo Generating Station (NGS), which burns the coal to power cities in Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California. While the tribes have senior claims on the river, nearly half of the West Virginia-sized reservation lacks running water. People are forced to haul their water in 55-gallon drums from coin-operated filling stations while Navajo resources drive the water pressure in millions of homes hundreds of miles away from the reservation.
"Many of our families live in third-world conditions, and they're tired of that," said Eric Descheenie, the chief of staff of the Navajo legislative branch.
For decades, Navajo attorneys have tried to leverage their water claims to get federal money for water delivery. At the beginning of this year, the coal industry appeared ready to strike a deal. The Navajo-Hopi Water Rights Settlement Agreement proposed giving the tribes all of the unappropriated water in the stream, and unlimited access to two aquifers of groundwater. The agreement also restricted new users from pumping the aquifers in range of the tribes, and prohibited any new users on the Little Colorado. The most significant aspect of the agreement, though, was $350 million of federal money to develop a water delivery system for thousands of homes on the reservation. In the language of water-claims attorneys, that money meant converting "paper water rights" into "wet water rights." In return, Peabody and NGS obtained certainty that they could pump the river for "time immemorial."
When the president of the Navajo Nation, Ben Shelly, saw the deal, he realized this was an opportunity for more than just clean drinking water. "It gave us a lot of water," said Shelly's spokesperson, Erny Zah. "And it meant having the ability to build new schools and hospitals." There are over 600 projects the Indian Health Service says are gridlocked because the water table is maxed out, including a large number of sanitation efforts. Access to running water isn't just about getting clean hydration in. It's also about getting human waste out.
Arizona's Republican Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl agreed to cosponsor a bill to cement the agreement. However, Kyl started negotiations with preemptive compromises in place to usher the bill through the House's Republican majority, which would only see earmarks where the Navajo see a necessity. The amount of federal funds for a water delivery system would have to be reduced, and the gains for the coal industry would have to become the major attraction. According to an attorney involved in the negotiations, Kyl explained, "House Republicans love coal. They want to see the Navajo Generating Station in the bill." That meant explicitly stating the amount of water set aside for Peabody and NGS, along with protections from litigation if their water use contaminated the river. A 25-year extension on the NGS lease, currently set to expire in 2019, was also tacked on to the bill.
In February, as Congress battled on the payroll tax extension and the budget, Kyl endorsed the legislation on the Senate floor as a critical appropriation for the Navajo and Hopi—as well as a major win for the coal industry. On an easel behind him, a mounted photograph showed a Navajo family in the red desert, improbably loading water jugs onto a horse-drawn wagon. "Legally, the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe may assert claims to larger quantities of water, but, as seen here, they do not have the means to make use of those supplies in a safe and productive manner," Kyl said. That's the moment most Navajo officials believe things started to unravel.
On the reservation, McCain and Kyl have a well-earned reputation as foot soldiers for big coal. In 1996, McCain finalized a law that relocated some 12,000 Navajo to make way for Peabody mining. Six years later, Kyl came under fire for introducing legislation that would have let the coal company drill for water inside the Grand Canyon. Both have fought new EPA emissions standards requiring NGS to outfit its smokestacks with scrubbers, even as much of the reservation is shrouded in a coal-fire haze. "Given Jon Kyl and John McCain's history with the Navajo Nation going back into the seventies, anything that they would do isn't welcomed by a certain segment of the population," Zah said. Rumors spread that Kyl's photograph, with its outrageous depiction of livestock-dependence, was a staged publicity stunt, and suspicions mounted that he and McCain were orchestrating yet another land grab.
The Navajo Nation Council still had to approve the agreement, and protests erupted in the tribal capital of Window Rock. At a meeting in April between the Arizona senators and President Shelly, hundreds of Navajo filled the streets chanting, "Jon Kyl go home! Leave our water alone!" His legislation was regarded as a thinly veiled attempt to commandeer aboriginal water rights on behalf of the coal industry. "Maybe a hundred years ago we couldn't read the document, but today we can. You can't do things like this to us anymore," said Nicole Horseherder, a Navajo grassroots activist. "Kyl is only trying to get something for his constituents. We are not Kyl's constituents. He does not represent the Navajo people. He is only looking out for Arizona and industry." In July, the council sided with the protesters, and voted down the settlement.
The deal appeared dead, until Secretary Salazar made a final attempt to resuscitate talks last week. At the meeting with Kyl and Salazar in Washington, leaders of the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe—along with a few influential council members, Horseherder, and a medicine man—said they wanted a quantification of their rights to the Little Colorado, rather than a vague claim to whatever water is left "unappropriated." They also wanted the legal safeguards and lease extensions for Peabody and NGS removed from the bill, and a guarantee that if the tribes sign the agreement, Congress will fund the water delivery projects. Salazar and Kyl told their visitors they had a six-week window in the lame duck session to get the bill passed, after lawmakers return from the Thanksgiving break next week and before new legislators are sworn in next year. Descheenie said the two men seemed motivated to get something done, but added, "I can honestly see the Navajo Nation simply walking away if it feels it is not getting what it wants." If no bill is signed, the dispute will likely be litigated in Arizona state court, where a predominantly Republican bench is unlikely to rule on terms anywhere near as favorable for the Navajo and Hopi. And no matter the outcome, it won't include money to convert whatever "paper rights" the Indians win into "wet water rights" they can use.
Stanley Pollack, assistant district attorney of the Navajo Nation, has worked on the settlement since 1985. During that time, bricks have blasted through his office windows, and flyers of his headshot with "Osama bin Pollack" scrawled underneath have circulated freely. Pollack has said that the tribal members misunderstand the terms of the agreement. Non-Indian users are not getting anything new in the settlement. They are only getting legal certainty to keep using the water they already do. In fact, Pollack suspects many misunderstand the nature of legal settlements more generally. These deals seek terms that conflicting parties can agree on. No one party can expect to receive everything. Compromise is key.
But Jerome Clarke, the Navajo Council's director of communications, thinks those who oppose the agreement understand the terms all too well. It guarantees the status quo in exchange for taking a gamble on Congress having the wherewithal to appropriate hundreds of millions of dollars to give Native Americans drinking water. Instead, nearly 400 years after the first Thanksgiving, at least two Native American tribes will wait out the nationwide feast, and then demand proper terms for sharing the earth's bounty.

If Mr. Fischer really is on the editorial staff of the New Yorker, he should have had one of its fact-checkers go through this piece before publishing it. It is RIFE with factual errors! It's nuts to suggest either Peabody or NGS has colonized the Navajo Nation, unless you consider their Navajo employees the colonizers. He gets the name of the settlement wrong, he gets Erny Zah's name wrong, he gets Stanley Pollack's title wrong, he get the source of water for Peabody and NGS wrong, he gets the funding amount wrong for the settlement he misnames, he gets the purpose of the '96 McCain amendment wrong, his statement about Peabody drilling in the Grand Canyon is wrong ... I mean, it just goes on. Why doesn't Mr. Fischer have this piece fact-checked now and run a correction? If he doesn't, other hapless reporters will find this story online, copy from it without checking, and perpetuate its awful errors ... probably the way Mr. Fischer did. Calling Craig Silverman!

Simplehorse, I'm not sure what you mean by factually incorrect on the source of Peabody's water supply. Peabody, who has been restricted from the N-Aquifer, has been negotiating for use of the Page Pipeline to Kayenta. Which does mean that it is depending on the Little Colorado for most of its water. The Draft EIS, which is still in motion despite its dismissal - details the plans for train and water linkages for future mining. I don't know what you mean by nuts. Because Peabody is a colonizer of the Navajo Reservation starting with John Boydon. They negotiated lease and employment terms by Peabody at significantly lower standards than "White" mining contracts. Including the standing rate for water purchase, which is more than 3X less for a square acre foot than what a Navajo Elder pays at a NTUA pump for her water cistern for 300 gals. Peabody removed thousands of sacred burial antiquities belonging to the Navajo People, from the Black Mesa Mining area during the 70's Gumerman Excavation. This property is being withheld from return by Peabody and the BIA, at the University of Southern Illinois at Carbondale. Maybe you can correct me, but this to me indicates a form of colonization as well as the racist rates being paid to Navajo Miners who are not the local CEO's. Maybe what you are sensing is that the author is missing the Grander Navajo Water Rights scheme and settlement protests, our anti- SB 2109. Its really difficult for authors to bridge from the extensive history to the battle of today. And if you focus on the battle today, its blinding how relevant it is to the history.

Blairbushproject, Although the Black Mesa Pipeline no longer slurries coal because there is no Mohave Generating Station to slurry it to, Peabody continues to pay to use 1,200 AFY of N-aquifer water. It does not use any Colorado River or Little Colorado River water. It is rhetorical to say Peabody is a colonizer, John Boyden nothwithstanding. The Navajo Nation is sovereign. Peabody pays the Navajo Nation to be there, to mine coal and for water. Peabody's workforce is 93 percent Navajo and Hopi. A "form" of colonization you describe does not true colonization make. It was wrong in the Fischer article and it's wrong by your definition. Whether right, fair, or oughta be… that's another discussion. But colonization? Sorry. That's for poli sci class. As for the "racist" rates paid Navajo miners, these are UMWA union members making among the best salaries paid on the Navajo Nation.

Very good in the summer and bad in the winter. Had to buy 4 snow tires as these would get stuck on an inch of snow and ice.

The Michelin MXV4 tires came as OEM when I purchased the Accord in 2006. When I replaced this month, they had 61,000+ miles and (surprisingly) plenty of tread left. (Tires were rotated each year & carefully checked the tread wear.) Never needed an alignment.
Ride was a bit soft, no undue noise; handling on wet (even snow) and dry roads was fine; gas mileage always as advertised. Would have liked a bit more traction in snow, but that is a quibble. One flat (screw lodged in tread of right front tire) in 8 years (readily repaired).
This week I noticed that a piece of the sidewall (about size of a nickel) on the right rear tire was gone -- could see the steel belt inside. Drove to the tire store without difficulty.

This tire is a bit more noisy than the OEM Michelins that were on it, but as a whole were fairly pleased. Main concern that I noticed was when I would get behind a semi with a trailer, it would "float" back and forth from the wind coming off the trailer. I never noticed this with the original tires. I put about 62,000 miles on them from Oct 2008 to July 2014

My 2011 Camry v6LE just turned 80k
I purchased mxv4 as part of the condition of buying my new car from Welland Toyota (Fantastic dealer). A friend of mine saw the review and insisted I buy it with the new car.
This tire is great even on a heavy snow. Summer driving is definitely very comfortable. I still have about 10000km life left on the tire before it is declared unsafe. So overall the life of the tire is around 90000+

Price: U.S. $179.95
(Now Available)
Professional installation available at authorized retailers.
Don't fuss or fiddle with your phone and say goodbye to uncomfortable headsets and earpieces. Most importantly, stay focused on safe driving. Many state laws require you to use a hands-free device if you are driving behind the wheel, and with good reason. The perfect way to stay safe and still carry conversations in the car is with the use of a hands-free device. Get the convenience of both in the CDE-136BT! The CDE-136BT is equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology so there is no need for any additional adapters.
The CDE-136BT is powered by Parrot, the global leader in wireless devices for mobile phones, for expanded compatibility for many Bluetooth wireless technology enabled cell phones. Check with your local authorized Alpine retailer for phone compatibility.
This unit comes with all that's needed for Bluetooth convenience. The CDE-136BT comes with a tuned microphone that's engineered to reduce noise interference and feedback. This allows optimal placement in your car, for the best possible sound quality.
Now, make and take phone calls conveniently. When a call comes in, your music mutes to carry the phone call. You can set up your cell phone/head unit to automatically answer your calls. Call waiting allows you to manage two phone calls at the same time. View caller information including caller ID, missed, dialed, and received calls right from the head unit display. Use the supplied microphone to speak, and then listen through your car's speakers. Once the call is finished, the music plays again. This truly makes the transition from your phone calls to music an enjoyable, convenient driving experience. You can even use the CDE-136BT's preset buttons to quickly jump through your phone book, making navigation through large phone books much faster.
Do you have a large music library on your phone? The CDE-136BT can stream and control music via the built-in A2DP and AVRCP protocol. This allows you to stream and control your favorite music from any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, whether it's from a music app or from the music stored in your phone's memory.
Improve Bluetooth® compatibility with your Apple iOS 6.0 (or later) smartphone and enable audio streaming control with song information display. Download the latest software here.
With a dedicated USB input and USB cable, you can even connect USB memory devices like thumbdrives. Song lists on USB devices are displayed in alphabetical order, and allows eight levels of file / folder search capabilities. This unit will find music files while ignoring other file types on the USB device.
Note: MP3 device or cell phone can only be independently controlled through the head unit when using the USB connection, not with the AUX connection.
The CDE-136BT comes equipped with 3 pairs of RCA pre-amp outputs, one pair each for the front, rear, and subwoofer channels. This allows virtually unlimited system upgrade opportunities, allowing you to add multiple amplifiers, speakers, and subwoofers to create your ideal in-car sound experience.
Select from 10 different EQ modes to get the best sound from all your sources. (Flat/Pops/Rock/News/Jazz/Elec Dance/Hip Hop/Easy Lis/Country/Classical). If the Equalizer presets aren't enough for your listening taste, there's a 3-Band Parametric Equalizer you can adjust and save as a user preset for a better sound response curve. The setting – Bass, Mid and Treble- can be adjusted in the 3-Band Parametric mode.
With Alpine, expect the premium sound your ears deserve. This head unit allows you to customize your crossover adjustments so you can control where you send high and low frequencies, so you get the best sound out of your factory or upgraded system. Of course for a true power upgrade just add-on the KTP-445 Power Pack to instantly increase your head unit's power to a true 45Wx4 RMS, now we-re talking about some serious sound!
Bring more enjoyment to your daily drive with music that you love, while at the same time, discovering new music that you like!

Note: Third party services may not be available in all areas; please contact an authorized retailer for coverage in your area.
The CDE-136BT is more than just a CD player, it is designed to work with your iPod or iPhone - so you can enjoy all your favorites wherever the road takes you.
Connect your iPod or iPhone using the USB cable that came with your iPod or iPhone and you've got access to all your music, right from your head unit. Adding the optional heavy-duty, automotive-grade Alpine KCU-445i iPod/iPhone cable is an even better option, since it will stand up to the rigors of in-car use unlike the cable supplied with your iPod or iPhone. With USB you get convenient control so you can scroll through all your Playlists, Artists, Albums, and Songs - and view all your song information right from the head unit display. Enjoy all your music whether from your iPod or iPhone, Alpine brings the music to your car.

Compatible iPods and iPhones

Friends managing music in your car earning the coveted passenger seat just got easier. The CDE-136BT has a "Passenger Control Mode" that gives the passenger control of the tunes directly from the iPod's or iPhone's menu. The driver still has play/pause, track up/down, and volume control right from the CDE-136BT's faceplate. When the driver wants to take control again, a 1 second press of the volume knob switches the control from the iPod back to the CDE-136BT's menu.
Have tons of music? Find it fast! With Alpine's exclusive QuickSearch technology, you'll be able to find what you want, the quickest and easiest way possible. With so many ways to listen to thousands of songs, now you can get super-fast access to artists, songs, albums, playlists, and radio stations. Large control buttons and a rotary encoder make it easy to scroll through all your sources, including your iPod, Radio stations and CD's. No interruptions, while you search, just let the Alpine play.
For especially big music libraries, Percentage Search function uses the preset buttons for quick jumps to specific parts of the list. Save yourself from scrolling through each song one by one, when you can just jump to a segment of your library with a touch of a button.
Standard in-vehicle solutions may drain the battery of your iPhone, but with the CDE-136BT, your iPhone charges via the USB cable, so you can enjoy nonstop music and recharge your iPhone at the same time.
If your car has factory Bluetooth steering wheel controls, then it will also control your new CDE-136BT's built-in Bluetooth. Or, control your head unit right from your factory installed steering wheel controls by adding a third party adapter. Ask your authorized Alpine retailer about how you can retain your steering wheel controls with the CDE-136BT.

Looks cheap until you use some common sense. Of course, that would require you to stop trolling.
2 trained ER's, 1 Driver possibly trained in ER, phone system costs, medical insurance costs, $200,000 vehicle rental costs , after-service call check over and maintenance costs, and on and on and on... rent any $200k vehicle and driver for a couple hours and you are looking at the same bill. Now that one looks at it, its a damn cheap to get that for $700 considering what it is.
- 2 trained ER's, 1 Driver possibly trained in ER: At $40 an hour, which is more than they get paid, with an average time of 11 minutes to respond, without giving any service, $22 dollars total.
- Phone system: less than 60 cents. That is including the cost of the operator which gets paid close to minimum wage.
- There are no medical insurance costs because no treatment was given. (He was already dead. Had you read the post and not been trolling, you would have known that.
- The most expensive ambulance's in the US cost $133,000, and they are in New York. On average, the cost is around $85,000. With a 10 year life span, the per minute cost is about 11 cents. So that means, for a $133,000 ambulance, which these are not, $1.21.

A new drilling technology is opening up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil in the western United States. This new drilling is expected to raise U.S. production by at least 20 percent over the next five years. And within 10 years, it could help reduce oil imports by more than half.

In the annals of history's great escapes there is no other story like that of Dieter Dengler, the only American to ever break out of a POW camp in the impenetrable Laotian jungle. After months plotting his getaway from a harrowing prison and a death-defying journey through some of the world's fiercest wilderness, Dengler appeared at his first press conference looking like a dashing movie star and showing neither sentimentality nor bitterness - simply an indomitable will to survive that allowed him to triumph against impossible odds.
Rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense war violence and torture.

Customer Reviews for On Sale Office Blindsgalore 3/4" Pleat Single Cell Cellular / Honeycomb Window Shades
"Excellent Replacement"
By MaggieLue from San Antonio, TX
Replaced another brand of blackout, top-down blinds with these - the two sets of blinds were about the same price, but I can't believe the difference in quality! My new blinds are very noticeably better made, and of much, much better quality materials. Additionally, the old blinds took almost two hours, and a lot of frustration to install - my Blinds Galore set went up easily and quickly in less than 10 mints.View this product
By Sallie from Marysville, MI
We get so many compliments on our blinds, how nice they look, how classy they are.View this product

Drama, Comedy
Old-line liberals Matt and Christina Drayton (Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn) have raised their daughter Joey (Katharine Houghton) to think for herself and not blindly conform to the conventional. Still, they aren't prepared for the shock when she returns home from a vacation with a new fiancé: African-American doctor John Prentice (Sidney Poitier). While they come to grips with whatever prejudices they might still harbor, the younger folks must also contend with John's parents (Roy Glenn Sr. and Beah Richards), who are dead-set against the union. To complicate matters, the older couple's disapproving maid (Isabel Sanford) and Christina's bigoted business associate (Virginia Christine) put in their two cents' worth. While Joey is determined to go ahead with the wedding no matter what people think, John refuses to consider marriage until he receives the unqualified approval of all concerned. The closing monologue delivered by Spencer Tracy turned out to be the last scene ever played by the veteran film luminary, who died not long after the production. The film was a success in the racially volatile year of 1967 and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won for Hepburn and screenwriter William Rose.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Instances of Misconduct
1. TVA Whistleblower Retaliation
The U.S. Department of Labor Administrative Review Board ruled that Shaw Group subsidiary Stone & Webster Construction broke federal whistleblower protection law when it fired James Speegle, a painter foreman at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, in May 2004. Speegle was fired after he raised concerns about what he thought were serious problems with the protective paint coatings being applied to the plant's cooling systems. In September 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ordered Shaw Group to institute improvements in its whistleblower protection and workplace safety policies and practices throughout its nuclear operations.... more»
2. Loan Agreement Liability
During fiscal year 2005, the U.S. District Court in Delaware rendered a judgment against the Shaw Group and in favor of Saudi American Bank for $6.7 million. Saudi American Bank claimed that, as part of the acquisition of Stone & Webster in July 2000, the Shaw Group had assumed the estate company's liability under a loan agreement and guarantee. The Shaw Group appealed the judgment.... more»
3. Gibson, et al. v. Shaw Group Inc, et al. (Racial Discrimination)
Three former employees of Shaw subsidiary Shaw Process Fabricators, Inc. filed a lawsuit in federal court in Louisiana alleging racial discrimination. In August 2001, the parties agreed to settle this case and a similar case involving another plaintiff pending in state court for an undisclosed amount.... more»
4. Contract Fraud at TVA Nuclear Plants
The Shaw Group's Stone & Webster Construction subsidiary agreed to pay the federal government $6.2 million to end a contract fraud investigation related to work at Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) nuclear plants in East Tennessee and Alabama. Stone & Webster has a 10-year, $1 billion dollar-plus contract to provide modification and maintenance services for the TVA, the nation's largest public utility. The government alleged that during the period from 2003 through 2006, Stone & Webster failed to maintain required logs and provided false reports to TVA that misclassified and understated the number and severity of employee injuries in support of its claims for safety-related performance fees.... more»

Chances Wiz headlines one night?
he did headline Rock the Bells..
That's Rock the Bells. That's not Coachella.
He also seems to think that Bloc Party has a shot to headline somehow.
CrazyNo. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have a way better chance at headlining than Bloc Party ever will. And I think Bloc Party as a sub headliner is still very far off. I, personally think either Phoenix or YYYs could headline this year (my opinion of course), but is it going to happen? No. not realistically.
So let's say GV actually managed to book The Rolling Stones and Daft Punk. Does that give what some would call a weak headliner, e.g., Phoenix or the YYY's, more of a chance to headline? Honest question.
i'm assuming if any of them headline, it's because the other two headliners are so strong.
as for whether or not it's possible, YYYs were subheadliners in '06, then they were bumped down to sub-sub in '09.
but yeah, Bloc Party could never subheadline Coachella:
i suppose if the YYYs & Franz & Artic Monkeys & Interpol all were bumped down a spot upon their return, I guess Bloc Party could too. They were sub-sub in '06 are they really less relevant in 2012/13? didn't they just headline day of the dead or something at the large LA park venue?
The 06 poster is a mess (I hate that they never officially added Kanye to it) and it looked like this by the end:
They couldn't even sub headline at their most popular....
Upcoming shows
Facebook // Twitter // Blog // Tumblr // Instagram
Coachella: 04,06,07,09,10,11,12(1&2),13(1&2),14(1&2),15(1&2)
The Jesus and Mary Chain 5/16, Spoon 5/28, Neutral Milk Hotel 6/1, Sufjan Stevens 6/5&6, Charli XCX & Bleachers 7/23, Death Grips 7/25, Taylor Swift 8/14
SDCC 7/9-12/2015, Outside Lands 8/7-9/2015
that's like saying that Portishead couldn't headline. They were the headliners until late adds came aboard.
Same with Bloc Party. They were sub-subs until the Massive Attack & Madonna add. YYYs got bumped also. and to the topic of discussion the poster used to sell tickets is more relevant than the last minute poster made for the festival entrance.
You should probably think through the logic of "X band had Y status on the poster until they were bumped by more popular adds in order to sell more tickets" before you use it to make a case for the relative popularity of X band.
they headlined Sasquatch year before last, and they subbed chella in '06
we can keep going around in circles, but how the fuck do YYYs qualify to headline before Massive Attack?
Massive Attack and Phoenix being the same level i'd buy.

Gobert or go home
I may try that two plates in the micro at the same time. Time's money bitches.
that is probably staged but man he looks like he gets jacked up by cake.
And AK was called for the foul.
"Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality. I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. Im afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare... If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things that wed like to do but cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them." --C.S. Lewis

Did you go into your xbox settings and enable the play to feature?
Posted 25 October 2012 - 07:57
Yeah its enabled (it was by default), and like I said the Nokia play to app finds it just fine.
I know WMP hasn't really been touched but assumed (wrongly it looks like) that it just supported DLNA devices, and since the Xbox is now a DLNA receiver it would work, alas it doesn't seem to. I'll keep on using the video app then
oh and its not greyed out now, it gives the option of playing to another pc in the house, just no xbox
Posted 25 October 2012 - 08:08
It supports dlna, but not dlna push, aka play to.
Posted 25 October 2012 - 08:43
But the Nokia playto app pushes to the Xbox just fine, although when opened and Xbox selected (in the app) the Xbox displays a nokia logo so maybe there's some other proprietary code added to the Xbox that's not standard DLNA stuff?
The Nokia app definitely pushes the content to the Xbox though.
I'd be happy with a smartglass update that allows more granular browsing of local and network content to 'play to' Xbox.
Posted 25 October 2012 - 08:57
WMP doesn't support push/play to, Xbox and WP and many other devices and apps do.
Personally, push never made much sense to me over pull anyway, not from an Xbox where you primarily get video from your library anyway

3 comments on "A little critter came by…"
That is a fabulous photo! Perfect.
I saw my first wooly worm a couple of days ago – and he was REALLY wooly! Guess we're in for a cold winter.
When my daughter (now 15) was little we found a wooly worm and she named him toothbrush. To this day we will see one and refer to it as a "toothbrush" as if that were the scientific name. Some memories are priceless!

The American Alliance of Museums has announced the Office of Historic Alexandria has earned accreditation as a museum system at the November 2012 meeting of the Accreditation Commission. Accredited status from the Alliance is the highest national recognition achievable by an American museum.
Ford Bell, President of the Alliance, recognized the City for this great achievement at an event at the Lyceum on January 24.
The Office of Historic Alexandria is only one of eight municipal organizations across the country accredited for their museum systems. Other accredited Virginia museum systems include Fairfax County and Newport News. Accreditation recognizes high standards in individual museums and ensures that museums continue to uphold their public trust. Developed and sustained by museum professionals for more than 40 years, the Alliance's museum accreditation program is the field's primary vehicle for quality assurance, self-regulation and public accountability. Of the nation's estimated 21,000 museums, 995 are currently accredited, as well as 69 museum systems. To earn accreditation, a museum first must conduct a year of self-study, and then undergo a site visit by a two-person team of peers. The Accreditation Commission, an autonomous body of museum professionals appointed by the Alliance Board, considers the self-study and site visit report to determine whether a museum should receive accreditation.
The Office of Historic Alexandria accreditation includes all of the museums owned and operated by the City of Alexandria. Fort Ward, Gadsby's Tavern and The Lyceum were re-accredited, while the other sites were accredited for the first time.
The American Alliance of Museums has been bringing museums together since 1906, helping to develop standards and best practices, gathering and sharing knowledge, and providing advocacy on issues of concern to the entire museum community. With more than 18,000 individual, 3,000 institutional and 300 corporate members, the Alliance is dedicated to ensuring that museums remain a vital part of the American landscape, connecting people with the greatest achievements of the human experience, past, present and future.
For more information about the Alliance and the Accreditation Program, including a complete list of accredited museums, please visit www.aam-us.org.
