Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
A symbol of strength and intelligence, topaz derives its name from Topazios, an island in the Red Sea that is known today as Zabargad. The Greek word "topazios" means "to seek," since the island was covered with a thick fog and difficult to find. Gemstones found on the island were called topaz, although the stones were eventually found to actually be peridot. The real gem of topaz is found throughout the world, with different occurrences producing specific colors.
Brown, yellow, orange and red topaz are found in Brazil, Sri Lanka and Siberia. Most brownish topaz is heated to produce a permanent and glamorous pink color. Following the discovery of pink topaz in Russia during the 19th century, Imperial topaz was found. Featuring a sherry red, deep pink or reddish-orange color, the gem was so coveted that its ownership was restricted to the Czar, his family and those who received it as a royal gift. Today, Imperial shades are the most rare and, therefore, the most valuable.
Blue topaz is rarely found in nature and is most often created through a combination of heat treatment and irradiation. It is found in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and China. Topaz is often colorless, too, and can be found in the United States, Mexico, Russia and Pakistan. In 1998, a new type of enhanced topaz made its appearance with a greenish-blue or emerald green color. All colors of topaz rank an 8.0 on the Mohs Scale of hardness.
Yellow topaz is November's birthstone and blue topaz is December's birthstone. Blue topaz is also the traditional gift for 4th and 19th wedding anniversaries, while Imperial topaz is celebrated as a 23rd anniversary gift. Perhaps the most famous topaz is a large, colorless stone known as the Braganza. It was discovered in Brazil in 1740 and was originally thought to be a priceless diamond. Today, the giant 1,680.00ct stone is set in the Portuguese Crown.
The mystery and allure of topaz goes back thousands of years. To the ancients, it was a symbol of love and affection and was thought to ward off sudden death. The Romans associated topaz with Jupiter, the god of the sun. The Greeks called it the Stone of Strength, believing it had the power to increase strength and make its wearer invisible in times of emergency. The Egyptians said the gem was colored with the golden glow of the sun god, Ra, making topaz a powerful amulet that protected its wearer against harm.
Topaz's mystical curative powers were believed to wax and wane with the phases of the moon. The gem was said to change color in the presence of poisoned food or drink and falcons were carved on the stones to help earn the goodwill of kings and magnates. During the spread of the Bubonic plague in 1347-1400, the clergy touched topaz to people's sores. Also in medieval times, the gem was thought to prevent death and heal physical and mental disorders. The stones were ground into powder and added to wine to prevent asthma and insomnia.
Today, topaz is said to be the gem that has the widest range of curative powers. It is believed to dispel enchantment, improve eyesight and protect against negative emotions such as depression, anger, fear, greed and envy. Its properties are supposedly enhanced when the gem is mounted in gold. Because of this association with gold, topaz is used to bring or enhance the wearer's money-gathering abilities and has long been used in money and wealth rituals.
Wearing topaz is said to improve and deepen relationships, promote patience, ensure fidelity and enhance the ability to love. The gem is also believed to bring friendship, intelligence, long life, beauty and a pleasant disposition.
Chrome Diopside:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world's leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the economy of the former Soviet Union has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

With so many sport- and health-oriented businesses finding their way to historic downtown Fort Walton Beach, it seemed a natural location for Alec St. Cyr and Leslie Roark to open Core Nutrition.
"It's a great little spot," St. Cyr said of the area for the shop, which opened in March.
Core Nutrition specializes in healthy smoothies that come in 46 flavors including cinnamon roll, butter pecan, strawberry cheesecake and even wedding cake. The healthy drinks sound more like dessert, but St. Cyr said that they can be used as a single-meal replacement.
"They're actually a healthy meal," he said, noting that the smoothies offer 250 calories, 24 vitamins and 25 grams of protein. Both he and Roark combined the smoothies with exercise, and both saw significant weight loss.
As an additional healthy offering, Roark offers free fit camps.
"We found that people stay healthy if they work out with other people," St. Cyr added. "They have accountability."
Fit camp information can be found on the Core Nutrition website and Facebook page.

Fort Walton Beach native Jared Williams has been self-employed since he graduated from the University of West Florida in 2010. His business focuses on building websites and lead-based marketing.
In February, he moved Media Crazed out of his home and into an office.
"I focus mainly on building easy-to-use websites for small business owners," Williams said.
"Once we get their website up, after that we don't want the website to be static," he also said. He also helps business owners with lead marketing by targeting the specific audience and by providing information for the site visitors.
As a small business owner, Williams said he understands what other business owners face. By building easy-access websites, he said his clients can take control of this online medium.
Williams took control of building his business by going door to door seeking his first clients. He recognized that success would not be handed to him and that he'd have to work for it.
"A couple of people decided to give me a chance," he said.
Although many of his clients own small businesses, Williams can also help larger companies locally and across the nation.

Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Squash Galaxy Wrap Grip. We've been in the business a long time and always get requests on what our favorite wrap grip is for squash so we went out and made our own! The Squash Galaxy Wrap grip has a smooth and extremely tacky feel and is the appropriate length and size for any squash racquet on the market. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

The Walking Dead
When Will The Walking Dead Season 3 Be Released on DVD?
UPDATE: Season 3 will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on August 27, 2013.
Original story:
At this point, we just have to guess!
The Walking Dead Season 3 premiered in October 2012 and had 16 episodes, ending on March 31, 2013. No Season 3 DVD release date has been issued yet (we'll update when AMC releases intel), but we can guess based on past dates.
Season 1 only had six episodes, starting in October 2010 and ending in December of 2010, and its DVD set was released on March 8, 2011. Season 2 had 13 episodes, starting in October and ending in March 2012, and the DVDs were released on August 28, 2012.
Since Season 3 pretty closely matches Season 2, except for the three extra episodes, we're going to throw down the guess that the DVDs will be released in late August/early September, not too long before the October 2013 premiere of The Walking Dead Season 4. But that's just a guess. Stay tuned for details, and hope for some really cool extras!

Product 1/3
The 9mm SMG was originally designed for tactical operators seeking an ultra-compact and controllable submachine gun for close quarter combat and room clearing. The advantage of this design is that all control systems and breakdown features are virtually identical to the M16/M4 family of weapons thus minimizing the need for familiarity training for tactical operators on multiple weapon platforms where split second delays in dynamic combat situations could mean life or death. Also, the low felt recoil of the 9mm ammo means that the operator can shoot very accurately grouped full auto bursts which helps to minimize the potential of harm to a hostage that might be in close proximity with the criminal target. This model with its authentic A1 upper receiver configuration was extensively fielded with the DEA and other federal agencies.
The AEX 9mm SMG is a limited production AEG made exclusively for us by G&P. Our pre-production model fired 330fps at 600 rounds per minute and only drew 15 amps.

Police seek Perkinsville manBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | October 05,2013WHITE RIVER JUNCTION Police are looking for a Perkinsville man who failed to show up for court Friday to face allegations hed fired a shotgun close to his wife during a heated argument.
Scott Amidon, 39, could face life in prison after prosecutors moved to charge him as a habitual offender due to his record of 10 previous felony convictions, including five instances of escape.
Judge Karen Carroll said if it had been made clear to her Thursday that Amidon had a history of escapes and 12 prior failures to appear in court, she would likely have set bail higher than $5,000.
Amidon posted bail Thursday night at the Springfield jail and was supposed to appear Friday afternoon at White River Junction criminal court to answer four domestic assault charges, including three felony counts of aggravated domestic assault with a deadly weapon.
Vermont State Police troopers arrested Amidon at Springfield High School when he drove there to pick up his children Thursday.
Police said they began their investigation earlier that day after Amidons family members told them he had been abusing heroin and bath salts in recent weeks.
They also said that on the evening of Sept. 26 Amidon pulled out a shotgun, pointed it at several family members, and threatened to shoot everyone in the household.
Witnesses said that as the argument escalated that night Amidon and his wife, Beatrice, went out to the driveway where he fired the gun in her general direction twice, police said.
(Beatrice) came inside and said that the shot missed her but she could feel the wind of the bullet go by, Trooper Brian Berry wrote in an affidavit.
Deputy States Attorney David Cahill asked in court Friday that an expedited arrest warrant be issued for Amidon and the bail amount be increased to $250,000.
The state has some very real concerns about Mr. Amidon fleeing the jurisdiction and/or causing harm to some of the people who were victims in this case, Cahill told the judge.
Carroll granted the requests.
I knew he had some prior failures to appear, but I had no idea of the (extent) of his record, she said of the original police request to lodge Amidon in jail. I just discovered that today.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

Metropolitan Natural Park, in the heart of the city, has a clearly marked trail system with routes that can take up to four hours. On your walk through the protected park you will likely see:
- Toucans
- Monkeys
- Countless birds
Metropolitan Natural Park is one of the few places on the Pacific coast of Central America that conserves the tropical dry forest ecosystem.
Camino de Cruces, or Trail of the Crosses, was a route taken by the Spaniards up until the world's first transcontinental railroad opened in 1855. They paddled the first stretch in canoe on Chagres River, then continued on foot or by mule to Panama City. You can still walk on the stone path through the forest, preferably from Gaillard or Forest Highway to the crossroads with the plantation road.
Many have gotten lost on this path, so it is advisable to notify an ANAM (National Environmental Authority) ranger before you begin.
El Valle de Antón, in the provinceof Coclé, is like a hub for hikers. A good starting place for beginners is a hike to La India Dormida on a trail that winds through the jungle and runs along a creek, providing wonderful contact with nature. In exchange for a few dollars, one of the youths waiting at the trailhead will accompany and guide you on the hike.
If you want challenge yourself, we recommend a climb up to El Gaital, the highest hill in El Valle de Anton at an altitude of 1,149 meters. If you ascend on a sunny day, you will be able to take in a view of both oceans once you reach the summit. The best access point is past the poultry sheds in La Mesa, onwards to the ANAM guardpost, and then up the trail in front. Be careful because it is hard to make out the entrance and there is risk of getting lost or even tumbling down the hillside.
Another option for a brief jaunt to an interesting attraction is to check out the square trees. Walk behind the Hotel Campestre for a few minutes and then enter the forest and continue until you see trees with square trunks. The path is easy to follow.
The Altos de Campana National Park is a 60-km drive from Panama City. Of the many marvelous and impressive peaks, worth mentioning are:
- Cerro Campana (1,007 m.a.s.l.)
- Cerro Peña Blanca (907 m.a.s.l.)
- Cerro Trinidad (969 m.a.s.l.)
A cool climate that hovers around 23º C facilitates the growth of tropical rain forests, very humid pre-montane forests, and very humid tropical forests. These masses of forests protect the headwaters of the local rivers, some that flow into Gatún Lake, like Trinity River, and others that drain into the Pacific Ocean, such as El Chame, Capira, and Sajalices rivers.
It is best to request that one of the ANAM rangers accompany you on a hike, as it is easy to get lost on the trails.
What to bring
- Long-sleeved shirt
- Pair of lightweight long pants
- Hiking boots
- Poncho or rainjacket
- Winter gloves if you want to climb up El Gaital
- Water bottle
- First aid kit: band-aids, gauze, plasters, tape for bandages, hydrogen peroxide, disinfectant for wounds, eye drops
- Compass
- Map with the trail marked
- Knife
- Flashlight
- Insect repellent
- Chapstick
- Hat or cap
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- Water purification tablets
- Bring only crucial gear and lightweight items

Why I Teach
I teach because I love discussing what matters most in the world and connecting academic issues to contemporary concerns. I use a variety of teaching methods to accommodate different learning preferences by combining lecture, discussion, group work and activities outside of the classroom. I respect diverse backgrounds and insights, and work to create an atmosphere of creativity and critical thinking.

Dana White: Jon Jones more accomplished light heavyweight champion than Chuck Liddell
"Jones has had the toughest run of guys in the UFC. I mean, to get to the belt and to defend the belt, Jones has had to go through hell. Yeah, and he's the most accomplished. Nevermind Tito Ortiz, let's talk about Chuck Liddell, somebody who could actually really fight. Even Chuck Liddell, the things he accomplished and the things that he did, what Jon Jones has accomplished is greater than any light heavyweight, ever."

Who or what is Intelligent Quilting?
Since 2007, we have been an industry leader in high quality digitized quilting designs for computerized quilting. Today, we proudly offer more than 4300 unique designs divided into easy-to-navigate category pages. So far this year, the digital pantographs and digitized motif section seem to be the two most active categories on the site.
We also have a large amount of digitized borders, corners, and sashings that have quite a few modern and geometric patterns to choose from. Before you leave, take a look at our small (but growing) selection of digital point-to-point patterns currently available on the site; they are useful little designs that can be used for so many applications.
We are always trying to expand our inventory with new, unique designs, but we understand that sometimes you just need something we don't have, or anyone has! If you're interested in custom digitizing for your quilting project, you can simply ask us with a message on our contact page.
Shop All New Patterns
Do forget to take a look at all of the recently uploaded designs on the What's New page.
What's new for you?
We have been proud to introduce a few new categories that allow you to expand your pattern library faster and cheaper. First, we introduced a Deal of the Day where each day a different digital design is 50% off. Then, more recently, we introduced our Smart Buys section, a section where we offer selected digital longarm patterns for $5 and under.
The Deal of the Day and our Smart Buys are both great ways to expand your design library quickly, but what many people REALLY love about Intelligent Quilting are the monthly bonus freebies we give with purchases. Be sure to check and see what digital designs are on sale or what current promotions are running often, as it changes weekly.
We carefully analyze and digitize each and every new design to meet a high standard we have set for ourselves and all of the designs available on the site. Thank you for taking the time to visit, and we hope you enjoy the experience.

One of the Discworld books mentions a Phrenologist's assistant.
The Phrenologist tells your fortune based on the lumps and bumps on your head, while his assistant will - for a price - put bumps in stategic places on your head with a mallet so that the Phrenologist will be come up with the sort of reading you would like to have.
Can anyone tell the name of the book that includes this character - and if possible his name. I've looked everywhere, but I simply can't find any reference and it's driving me nuts!!!

While coming home from taking Peanut to school the other morning I had itch in an area that made me very glad I was sitting in the privacy of my car. So I took care of my PHI, pubic hair itch as we refer to it at the Serious house, at the exact time I drove through a camera enforced stop light. That left me wondering if those cameras are monitored at all times or just on the occasion a car tries to sneak through a yellow light?
I wonder how many crotch and nose pickers are caught on camera? I guess I can now be added to the list.

Hi guys. It's me.
I've been thinking about how this would go and what I would say to you at this moment for months now. I'd form a few sentences and then find myself rambling and scrap the whole thing. This went on and on as I'd dry my hair at night, as I'd fall asleep, as I'd attempt to watch American Idol. But nothing seemed right.
I owe you an explanation. I know that. I need to tell you where I've been. Why I left you hanging. But the answer isn't as simple as I'd like it to be.
I started this blog on July 29th, 2009. The post was titled "I thought breast pumps were shoes, truth". And now I just spent the better part of 2013 exclusively pumping for my second child. So that should give you a pretty good picture of how much life has changed in almost 5 years.
I'm a mom to two kids. And those two kids are my air and stars and sunshine and gummy bears. And as 2014 is taking shape, I'm finally starting to see a small glimmer of an adult life creeping back in as well. A small part of me that includes wine, dates, shopping, friends and DVR. It's a happy little sparkle that can cozy right up next to my gummy bears.
However, getting to this point has been a tough road. We haven't had the easiest of paths. We've faced a number of challenges as all parents do. We all choose to handle these challenges differently. To add to our challenges, I've struggled with anxiety for the better part of my life. I was the kid in kindergarten throwing up before school because I was too nervous for show and tell. Now, as a mother, my anxiety showed it's ugly little face again. And it's been a challenge to balance the natural worry that we all feel for our kids with unnatural levels of anxiety.
As I've shared our stories with moms that I meet at school, or elsewhere, the one common thread that I find is that almost all of us feel like we're not doing a good enough job. We all worry about our inadequacies day in and day out. I was talking to a very cool, "with it" mom of 3 kids who said she battles guilt every day that she just isn't doing it right. Or that it just isn't enough. And I could totally relate. We all can.
There is nothing in this world that I love more than my kids. My DVR is like a FAR second. And I can't think of anything scarier than screwing them up. We all have issues and we all think that we are heinous fat beasts who are emotionally scarred from flushing a pet down the toilet. And we all want to do everything we can to give our kids a better shot at being less F'd up than we are. But it's hard because you really just don't know. It's like this huge, long, detailed experiment that you won't get the results from until 18 years have gone by and it's too late to fix any major errors. We're just all kind of crossing our fingers, reading books and blogs and huffington post articles that promise us that IF WE DO X, Y WILL NOT SMOKE CRACK.
But here we are. And you want to know still, where I have gone. Why haven't I been here. Why hasn't it seemed like I care about my readers who have been with me for 5 years. Why did I neglect everything I worked so hard on for so long? Why did this little corner of the internet fall apart under my watch?
I'm not the person anymore who started this blog. I think that is obvious. However, I've always tried to stay very true to the tone of this blog. I wanted the message to always be honesty, whether it was pretty or ugly. Truth whether it was favorable or not. And my life as unfiltered as possible.
But that message is harder for me to convey as a parent. It's easy to convey confidence as you detail your nap on the kitchen floor after your 8th martini when you're 24. It's less easy to talk about your children and parenting choices, and hear criticism about you as a parent.
Because it's so much more important.
I'm not going to put this on you guys or really anyone else except me. I am pretty hard on myself as a mother. And my anxieties can get the best of me. And it started getting to a point that I dreaded the ding of my email as comments came in from this blog. I used to love the interaction, now I just waited for the criticism.
Many of you said, just don't talk about the controversial stuff. Believe it or not, I don't. If that gives you an idea of how controversial our choices may seem. The criticism came from posts that I least expected. And sometimes just due to the tone of my writing.
Many of you said, if you can't take it, you shouldn't have a blog.
Maybe you are right.
Because I can't take it.
So the question becomes: What now? Do I continue blogging but just not talk about the kids? I tried that. The blog became sort of inauthentic and distant. Not what I wanted.
How do I blog without the unfiltered honesty that I've always maintained as the tone for this blog?
These are hard questions that I STILL don't have the answer to. And I'm figuring it out.
Will I quit? Will I go on? Will I start a new blog? I don't know yet.
I'm closing the comments on this post. Because I'm ashamed to say that I'm still afraid of the feedback.
I wanted to let you all know though that we are ok. I appreciate all of your emails. If you still want to keep up with us, I do maintain my instagram account for now "modgblog".
I promise I won't be gone for good. I just don't know what it will look like when I'm back.
sparkles, loves and peace signs out your butt,

A lot of the article wants to point the blame at Windows 8. This is a contributing factor, but look at it that way, Windows ME and Vista both have/had some very serious negative feedback, did PC sales drop that much then because of word of mouth? However, many other factors play into this, mobile phones are on the rise, Dell/HP shakeup, poor PC designs, and the biggest thing of all, I think its partly due to less people needing to upgrade their current computer. PCs these days are not upgraded to new ones as often because the hardware specs are good enough now. This all can't be about Windows 8, look at the whole picture.
Me and Vista were not in the situation where the market is at this time. Apple is a major influence when we look at their offerings and their sales. They've sold more Macs than in any other quarter in the worst economic climate. Me and Vista were in periods before the economic collapse where people were consumers at their peak in technology adoption.
Everyone was buying computers and getting involved. As stated earlier, phones act in place of the PC for basic function on the web. Windows 8 was not well recieved and has a stigma that is Metro. Compared to 8, Vista never forced users to "adapt" to functionality that wasn't necessary.
Microsoft acted out of impulse because of the success of Apple's iPad and they thought they could wrap around an interface for all devices by hitting multiple targets with one stone.
The sales reflect the outcome.

The 100 in its name could designate the thousands of dollars the Shark 100 Club has contributed to support athletic programs at Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School.
Club president Willie Ramsey presented high school athletic director Chuck Gannon with a check for $7,000 last week, representing in part the proceeds of the highly-successful annual chicken dinner fundraiser and closing the books on another successful year for the Shark 100 Club.
As it prepares for its 27th year, the club has donated to date nearly $125,000 since 1986 to Tiger Shark athletics.
"They have had a tremendous impact," Gannon said. "It's very helpful. It is a good collaboration, people working together for the benefit of the kids.
"We appreciate everything the Shark 100 Club does for us."
The annual chicken dinner fundraiser, which alone raised over $3,000, is a testament to that collaboration.
The Shark 100 Club picks up the tab for the components of the meal, chicken, coleslaw, baked beans and beverages and a cooking team of club members, led by School Board member John Wright, do most of the cooking.
"So many people put so much into cooking those chicken dinners," Ramsey said.
On top of that, the coaching staffs do of the serving.
Tickets to the fundraiser are sold in advance throughout the community.
Each athletic team at the high school receives an allotment of tickets to sell.
The proceeds, represented by the check last week, is disbursed in turn among all sports teams.
"We are not just donating to football or basketball or baseball," Ramsey said. "The Shark 100 Club is an universal account for all the high school athletics.
"There is sweat-equity in there for the athletes. They get out what they put into it."
Gannon said funds raised are divided among the sports programs based on several factors: involvement in the fundraiser and ability to bring in fans being two of the most prominent.
"The ones that are in need and pull in the people, those are the sports we are trying to help," Gannon said.
Beyond raising funds, Gannon added, there is a sense of common purpose, of joint effort to buttress the athletic programs at a time when austerity is the buzz word and funding is a precious commodity for all extracurricular activities.
"The thing I like is it's a camaraderie deal," Gannon said. "Everybody working for everybody and we get great support from the community."
As Ramsey noted, even folks who might live out of town, who might not be able to collect their chicken dinners, will still send along a donation as if they had been one of the nearly 700 people who chowed down this past year.
"It always amazes me the support we get," Ramsey said. "It's all about the kids.
"We are kind of an under-the-radar club. We have been blessed to have so many people in the community who support what we are doing. We don't toot our horn, though maybe we should toot our horn."
The Shark 100 Club sells memberships in four categories. After covering minor costs for items such as hats and t-shirts, the membership fees go entirely to Tiger Shark athletics.
Tiger Shark – for a donation of $100 the individual, businesses or organization receives one Shark 100 hat, two reserved seats to home football games, program recognition and reserved parking at football games.
Mako Shark – for a contribution of $250 an individual, businesses or organization receives two Shark 100 hats, two reserved seats at home football games, special program recognition and reserved parking at football games.
Bull Shark – for a contribution of $500, individuals, businesses or organizations receive two Shark 100 hats, two reserved seats at home football games, two reserved seats at home basketball games, special program recognition and reserved parking at football games.
Sand Shark – for a $50 donation, parents of Tiger Shark athletes receive one Shark 100 hat and program recognition.
Anyone interested in joining the Shark 100 Club, may submit their contribution to the Shark 100 Club, P.O. Box 524, Port St. Joe, FL 32457.

Last fall, UNH Manchester partnered with the Currier Museum, UNH Durham, St. Anselm College, and the University of Massachusetts Lowell, in submitting a joint application to bring the traveling exhibit First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare to New Hampshire, with the Currier Museum as the venue.
First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare, is a national traveling exhibition of the Shakespeare First Folio, one of the world's most treasured books. The Folger Shakespeare Library, in partnership with Cincinnati Museum Center and the American Library Association, is touring a First Folio of Shakespeare in 2016 to all 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico.
The Folger Shakespeare Library recently announced that the Currier Museum has been selected as the host site for New Hampshire. The First Folio will be displayed at the Currier, with related events taking place at all of the participating institutions and, hopefully, at venues all around the state.
The traveling exhibit First Folio! The Book that Gave us Shakespeare coincides with the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death in 1616. The First Folio, published in 1623, was officially titled Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, and contains 18 of Shakespeare's 38 plays, including "The Tempest," "Macbeth," "Twelfth Night," and "As You Like It."
Bringing the First Folio to the Currier is a wonderful opportunity for New Hampshire residents, students and scholars alike, to see firsthand the publication that made the argument for Shakespeare's genius. A series of events--lectures, workshops, and other activities--will be planned to accompany the duration of the exhibit.
For more information about the First Folio exhibition, check out this story in the Washington Post.
You can also read an announcement on the Currier's Facebook page.

A project is underway in Dimond Library to shift books and integrate journals in the Library's main stacks. This move is required for Library stacks to be in compliance with the current fire code.
To make room for the shift, some bound journals (for which UNH owns electronic access) will be removed from the collection and offered to UNH faculty (first) and then other groups.
Other bound volumes (for which the library does not own electronic access) will be available from the Library's on-campus storage building. The volumes' locations will be indicated and can be requested through the online catalog.
To make access even faster and easier, a scan-on-demand service has been implemented for items in library storage.

SpaceX's Dragon capsule will be filled with about 1,200 pounds of supplies for the space station crew and experiments being conducted aboard the orbiting laboratory.
On March 2, Expedition 34 Commander Kevin Ford and Flight Engineer Tom Marshburn of NASA will use the station's robot arm to grapple Dragon following its rendezvous with the station. They will attach the Dragon to the Earth-facing port of the station's Harmony module for a few weeks while astronauts unload cargo. They then will load experiment samples for return to Earth.
Dragon is scheduled to return to Earth March 25 for a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California. It will be bringing back more than 2,300 pounds of experiment samples and equipment.

SpaceX today appeared to complete a brief test-firing of a Falcon 9 rocket's main engines, a key test in advance of Friday's planned launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Around 1:30 p.m., a flash and smoke appeared beneath the 157-foot rocket at Launch Complex 40.
SpaceX did not immediately comment on the standard pre-launch test.
If it went as planned, the rocket's nine first-stage Merlin engines were scheduled to fire for about three seconds with the rocket bolted to the launch pad.
The Falcon 9 is scheduled to blast off at 10:10 a.m. Friday with a Dragon cargo capsule bound for the International Space Station.
The mission is SpaceX's second under a $1.6 billion NASA resupply contract.

Less famous than Willamette Valley wines, the Umpqua and Rogue valleys' vintages have been earning points with warmer-climate grapes such as tempranillo, malbec, and even gewürztraminer. The trip to taste them may take longer, but there's the added reward of the scenery—grassy knolls, wheat fields, and picturesque farms, complete with red barns—even from I-5.
Leave Portland by early afternoon, and you can be sipping your first Umpqua Valley wine before 5 at Brandborg, where Terry and Sue Brandborg specialize in pinot noir at the valley's northernmost tip. But with their vineyards located just 45 minutes from the coast, the cooler microclimate results in very different versions from the Willamette Valley. Not-to-be-missed tastes include the Scarlet Cuvée, a dry rosé made from pinot noir grapes that's only available on-site, and the '07 gewürztraminer, which New York Times critic Eric Asimov recently singled out for its "rich, floral" taste. 11–5 daily; 345 First St, Elkton; 541-584-2870; brandborgwine.com; no fee for two pours; $5 for five
In 2005, Reustle-Prayer Rock Vineyards became the first US winery to produce the Austrian varietal Grüner Veltliner. Four years later, they had it perfected: their 2009 reserve won the silver award at both the Monterey Wine Competition and the San Diego International Wine Competition. You can snag a taste—and hors d'oeuvres like chicken flautas, avocado crostini with chevre, and manchego with fig jam—in their barrel cave. Tue–Sat 10–5; 960 Cal Henry Rd; 541-459-6060; reustlevineyards.com; $10 tasting fee
Check In
Located 30 miles east of Roseburg in the Umpqua National Forest, the quirky Steamboat Inn is worth the drive for its idyllic setting and fantastic family-style supper ($50 per person). A motley collection of streamside cabins, forest cottages, and three-bedroom houses, the inn also has a library (where hors d'oeuvres and wine are served) and a grassy terrace. 42705 N Umpqua Hwy, Steamboat; 541-498-2230; thesteamboatinn.com; streamside cabins from $175
Closer to Roseburg (and to wine country) is the CH Bailey House, a 1905 farmhouse that Jay and Sherry Couron converted into an upscale four-room bed-and-breakfast three years ago. In addition to a full breakfast, the Courons serve complimentary local wines—Abacela, Brandborg, and Henry Estate—as well as Eugene's Ninkasi beer. Guests can do their stargazing from the hot tub out back. 121 Melton Rd, Roseburg; 541-672-1500; chbaileyhouse.com; doubles from $125

Judging by the synopsis it's not that kind of "attack on men" kinda documentary. Looks like it could be more balanced than that. Of course i've not seen it so it may be riddled with anti male agenda.
The real issue here is that one of the guys on the cover is called "Dick Swaab"

Well it has a guy on camera who admits to being a pedophile. Anyone can be one it doesn't mean they did anything at least in my opinion.
Not saying that a lot do.
There is even female pedophiles in it.

Dick Swaab
Posted 14 September 2013 - 08:57
I haven't seen the movie but even the slightest bit of research shows this doesn't appear to be some simple attack on men. It sounds more like a discussion about the general shift in society where all men are assumed to be potential pedophiles.
For the first time in history the tables have turned on men. In the past "Witch-Hunt" was associated with women but now it is associated with men. In an effort to protect our children society has started to isolate men. This documentary explores the pedophilia hysteria and how all men are viewed as potential pedophiles. How did society come to such a conclusion and what are the political and social consequences? Have men really become victims of modern sexism or is the increase in sexism justified? Are All Men Pedophiles?
I would somewhat agree with that sentiment. I've been questioned on several occasions just for taking pictures of my own daughter in the playground. Despite the fact I was clearly taking shots of the child I brought there that in all of the shots it is only my kid in the frame! None of the women doing the same thing were questioned about it I hasten to add.
Posted 14 September 2013 - 10:15
A lot of men avoid careers in childcare, education or anything else where you would deal with kids regularly because it isn't seen as a career a man should do, (it's womens' work) and there is also a suspicion of any man who would want to work with children. It's unfair but it is the reality.
