Product description
One of the most popular of the Hellenistic schools of philosophy in antiquity, Stoicism flourished for some five hundred years and has remained a constant presence throughout the history of Western philosophy. Its doctrines appealed to people from all strata of ancient society-from the slave Epictetus to the emperor Marcus Aurelius. This book provides a lucid, comprehensive introduction to this great philosophical school. It gives an overview of the history of the school, covers its philosophy as a system, and explores the three main branches of Stoic theory. John Sellars includes historical information on the life and works of the ancient Stoic philosophers and summaries, analyses, and appraisals of their principal doctrines in logic, physics, and ethics. He also includes a fascinating account of the Stoic legacy from later antiquity to the present. The volume includes a glossary and chronology, which, together with its accessible yet authoritative approach, makes it the ideal choice for students, scholars, and general readers interested in what Stoicism has meant, both philosophically and historically, for western civilization.

Landon Donovan looking at a midfield role in Los Angeles
Feb 10, 2014, 4:31 PM EDT
With two starting forwards more or less in place for the Los Angeles Galaxy, with the bigger need in midfield, it looks like that's where Landon Donovan will line up for Bruce Arena's team when they get going in about a month.
That's probably encouraging news for Jurgen Klinsmann and the national team; getting Donovan in top gear in a wider position seems like the ideal situation where U.S. pursuits are concerned.
It's not that Donovan could not embrace an interior role with the Galaxy and then move to the outside for Klinsmann's outfit once World Cup prep gets serious in May. The league's and national team's all-time leading scorer has certainly stated time and again that he will play wherever asked.
But to get the best from Donovan in a wide role – and they'll need the "best" from each and every U.S. player against Ghana, Portugal and especially Germany come first-round game time in June – it's best if he's seamlessly transitioning. It's best if the little nuances that come with playing along the outside, the thought processes and little calculations in positioning, are arriving that much faster, more "instinct" than "reaction."
(MORE: MLS managers not obligated to help World Cup roster pursuits)
Donovan could certainly challenge Clint Dempsey as the second forward (a more central position) in the manager's preferred 4-3-3 arrangement. Dempsey, as we know, hasn't been at his best for some time.
But it seems as if the best way for Klinsmann to get as many of his top men, his wisest, most talented and most experienced players, into the starting 11 would be for Dempsey to retain his withdrawn, advanced role while Donovan uses that burst – yes, the 31-year-old still has a burst – along the outside.
Between Donovan, Fabian Johnson and Graham Zusi, that gives Klinsmann three pretty good starting options, all with a slightly different skill set, which could help the manager arrange game-to-game tactics as dictated by opposition and matchups, etc.

Him playing at midfield will make USMNT selection choices easier. I'd rather have him at forward than Dempsey though, because of current form.

Craftsman 20 pc. Compressor Accessory Kit
Also includes 2 inflation needles, tapered inflation needle, tire gauge, 1/4 in. by 25 ft. coil hose, dual tire chuck, Non-Stick tape, rubber blow gun nozzle, and blow gun adapter.
Recently bought a Craftsman air compressor, and needed approximately 75% of the items included in this accessory kit to get it up and running. The tire inflator has two angles available. This is nice when working on a bicycle, or motorcycle where access isn't always easy. Unfortunately the included tire pressure gauge seems to be garbage. It read 20lbs. under the actual pressure, and might unintentionally cause an accident. For safety reasons I disgarded this item. The remainder of the kit has come in handy more than once. I would recommend this item over other manufacturers. Craftsman products are still far superior to other brand names.
The hose broke apart as I was inflating a tire today. Pretty poor quality to represent the Craftsman name. Judging by other reviews this seems to be common.
work very well
received as described. very good.
This is good starter kit for the DIYer at home. The hose line isn't designed for heavy, everyday use, in fact, I think it really is best used for the blower tip and that it. Or for a nail gun that takes quick bursts of air.
After opening the box that contained my newly purchased Air compressor I was unpleasantly surprised to find that there were no accessories... so I began an online search for some. The Craftsman 20 piece Accessory Kit was the most comprehensive assembly of accessories that I found at a very good price.
This is a really nice Accessory kit. It had every thing I needed.
Good quality and has everything I needed to get started. The yellow air hose is too stiff and good for small and short-distance use.
Any serious air compressor owner knows better to buy a longer and stronger built hose.
Besides the cheap air hose, everything else alone was worth the price.
I am a happy camper.
I wanted something simple. Not cheap or expensive industrial grade. This kit metthis requirement.
My husband has a air compressor however, he did not have any accessories. I bought him this and I am so excited.
But when we used this I said I don't know how we have gotten by without this. It is great. Now weI can use his compressor with more.
I bought this for an inflator. It has a great dual air chuck not a cheap clip down tire inflator which break. It has various adapter and would be good for regular compressor as well as inflators. If you need accessories for your compressor this is the kit.
I needed accessories for an air compressor that I recently received as a gift. This set included everything I was looking for. Great product and reasonably priced.
Had much more than husband expected. He was very excited about all the possibilities.
Great items for your Air Compressor. These items are very well made. Sears had fast shipping on these.I used them on my new Air Compressor within 2 days of my order.
I needed a few connectors for my air compressor, but let's be honest... If you have an air compressor, you're going to eventually buy these things anyway. Might as well save some money and purchase this kit! Great quality and an excellent value. I would ditch the hose though and get a higher quality one!
I needed a way to blow up several balloons to chase off birds around my peach tree. This equipment worked perfectly and saved me a few hours of work.
This is a great kit and comes with everything you need! They parts last for years if taken well care off so no need for others!
The package contained everything I needed and got them in time
not the stoutest stuff I've ever bought, especially that hose, but for what I paid, it's ok. Not quite as flimsy as I frankly expected at that price.
Good accessory kit for the price. I won't be using the hose at all because my compressor came with a better one. The tire fill attachment comes in handy. Overall I'm happy with this purchase.
Bought this today pretty much just for the fittings. As I was putting a fitting on the included hose the hose cracked, that's ok for me it would have just sat there anyway. All included fittings seem to work well for normal use.

Getting back into the swing of things...kind of.
I originally moved to the DC area for school, and I ended up staying after graduation as I've noticed most people do. I do work full time, but I'm still trying to land that "dream job". I would say that I'm kind of quiet when I first meet people, but once I get to know them I'm fun and outgoing. Since I've been here my life has pretty much been school and work so I definitely want to start dating more and see who's out there. I'm not too picky (I don't think), but in general I like guys who are active, funny, ambitious, and outgoing. I hope to meet someone to have new experiences with and get me out of my comfort zone.

Middle of the Road
Hmm I don't think I really have a favorite spot, my friends and I like to try new places whenever we go out. If I had to had to choose I do like the DuPont, Arlington, and sometimes the Silver Spring or U st areas.
Good music I like almost every genre, good tv, great weather, good food Im not a picky eater (which is my downfall), and good company.
Being around friends and meeting new people. I love art and cultural events, but anything that gets me out of the house and keeps my attention is a plus.
Its been a while, but I am trying to get back into reading a good book in my free time.

To save the citizens of Oklahoma from costly taxes and regulation, Governor Fallin has refused to set up a new health insurance exchange mandated by
Obamacare. She will face political pressure to change her mind, and the governor
will need all the support she can get.
Without the exchange, federal mandates won't work and the feds cannot
distribute the necessary insurance subsidies in exchange-less states. Obamacare
falls apart. Congress will then be forced to revisit the law.
The only hope of preventing the largest expansion of government in recent
history is for Speaker of the House Kris Steele and Senate President Pro
Tempore Brian Bingman to join with Governor Fallin in rejecting the
establishment of an exchange.
Demand an answer from Speaker Steele and Senate President Bingman and
ask where they stand on Obamacare. Ask if they will stand with the Governor to stop the Obamacare exchange in Oklahoma.
Governor Fallin just has to hold firm until December 14th, 2012, the
deadline for establishing a state exchange. The election may be over but
Obamacare can still be stopped.
Send the form below or feel free to contact the
Speaker of the House or Senate President Pro Tempore by phone to voice your
concern, or to thank Governor Fallin for her bold stand:
Governor Mary Fallin (405) 521-2342
Speaker Kris Steele (405) 557-7345
Senate President Pro Tempore Brian Bingman (405) 521-5528
Say No to the Obamacare Exchange!
Dear [Decision Maker],
Governor Fallin is bravely refusing to establish a health insurance exchange to comply with Obamacare. I agree with her decision and ask you to voice your support for her as she faces political pressure to change her course. If enough states opt out of the health care exchange that is the heart of ObamaCare, Congress will have no choice but to reexamine the unconstitutional law.As a public official, you should stand by the people of Oklahoma. We don't need the federal government interfering with our health care decisions. Oklahoma businesses that don't offer health insurance will be fined and likely leave the state. To run the exchange, taxpayers will pay millions of dollars so insurance companies can rake in easy profits.Obamacare is the largest expansion of government in recent history and you have the power to stop it. If not for Oklahoma residents, then for their children and grandchildren.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

When that student said he wanted to be a graduate, Nowlin made the most of that opportunity.Our vision statement is All students graduate and are prepared for a successful life. See how Michele brought Salem-Keizer's vision to her class.
Salem-Keizer instructional coaches provide job-embedded professional development and work to bring out the best in our teachers.
In partnership with the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, Salem-Keizer high school students got to participate in this year's Career Connections program. Over 700 students went through mock interviews with local businesses and got invaluable experience and preparation for the future. The event was held on April 10, 2012 at the Salem Conference Center.
Salem-Keizer Public Schools is predicting a $20 million budget shortfall for the upcoming 2012-13 school year.Chief Operations Officer Michael Wolfe recaps the past few years of budget cuts and explains why the shortfall exists. He then walks through the budget development timeline.
Salem-Keizer elementary students in West Salem, compete in the Future Chefs Elementary Culinary Competition on January 30, 2012. Watch a few highlights from the event.The event was hosted by Salem-Keizer Public Schools and Sodexo.
When faced with challenges, an organization can succeed by maintaining focus on the vision. A strong vision unifies, motivates, and inspires. It gives staff a reminder of the great destination we're all working toward.At Salem-Keizer Public Schools, our vision is: "All students graduate and are prepared for a successful life."This video explains the reason for our vision.
Salem Keizer students share why they think their teachers are great. This video was part of the Sixth Annual School Talk Summit held at West Salem High School on October 19, 2011.
As educators, we are sometimes quick to make judgments about our students' performance without taking the time to carefully examine the results. This makes sense when we realize how many decisions a teacher makes in a day. The data driven protocol is a powerful and effective tool to focus our thinking one step at a time and examine student test results methodically.This video follows a team of teachers as they review the results of their district interim assessments and begin the work of intervention for their students.
This video shows a group of teachers setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-Oriented, and Time bound) after students have taken their district interim assessments.
After forming intervention groups and working to achieve their SMART goals, teachers look at their progress and revise their goals.
Hundreds of parents, students, and community members gathered in downtown Salem for the Back-to-School First Wednesday on September 7, 2011. Six Salem-Keizer high school marching bands performed on the street along with Early College High School's drum corps.View photos here flickr.com/photos/salemkeizer/sets/72157627545653419/detail/

"Women really need to be aware of changes to their breasts that persist, even during pregnancy and to discuss these changes immediately with their doctor," said Perkins. "The study also proves that there's a vital opportunity for physicians to focus on complete breast care during a patient's pregnancy, and should include cancer as a possible diagnosis. Persistent complaints should be monitored aggressively, with breast exams, imaging and biopsy, all being conducted as necessary."
M. D. Anderson has a long history of being at the forefront of treating pregnant women for breast cancer. In 1992, Richard Theriault, D.O., professor in the Department of Breast Medical Oncology, opened the first protocol examining a chemotherapeutic regimen for the management of these patients. He later published seminal studies proving that the regimen was safe for both pregnant mother and unborn child; it has since been adopted as the standard of care. M. D. Anderson has the largest active registry in the world following the health of pregnant breast cancer patients and their children.

Only hours before the national championship starts here at AT&T Stadium.
UConn and Kentucky, two college basketball heavyweights, will square off at 9:10 p.m.
The Huskies will attempt to win the program's fourth national title tonight. They already have more championships victories (three) since 1999 than any other program. Duke has two (2001, 2010) as does North Carolina (2005, 2009) and Florida (2006, 2007).
A year removed from watching the tournament from home due to a post-season ban, UConn is
"I just feel like all the trials and tribulations that we have been through throughout last season and this season just has prepared us for this moment," sophomore Phil Nolan said.
Here's a pre-championship game preview:

Kentucky defeated 9th seed Kansas State (56-49), top seed Wichita St. (78-76), 4th seed Louisville (74-69), 2nd seed Michigan (75-72), 2nd seed Wisconsin (74-73)

Kentucky is making 12th appearance, last winning in 2012.
-- The Wildcats are undefeated in the NCAA post-season since losing to UConn in 2011 national semifinals. They own an 11-game tournament winning streak.
The Huskies are 11-1 in last 12 NCAA games.
-- Series: UConn leads, 3-1, winning last two.
-- Player to watch: Randle, one of the top freshmen in country. Nolan may need some help to defend the powerful 250-pound forward. Randle needs four rebounds to set a Kentucky freshman record and pass Anthony Davis (415).
"He's a pretty strong guy," Nolan said. "(I'm going to) just try to keep him off the glass."
-- Top reserve: 6-8 so. forward Alex Poythress (5.9 pts, 4.5 rebs).
-- Statistic to watch: second chance points. Kentucky averages 15.5 per game.
-- Hot: Kentucky is sinking 48 percent from field in NCAA games. Cold: UConn defense held last two opponents to a combined 39 percent.
-- The Huskies own NCAA best winning percentage (87.5) in Final Four at 7-1.
-- Napier on playing in his second national title game: "We worked so hard to get to this point, and we just continue to believe in each other. It's just so surreal to be back here."
Napier, Giffey and fellow senior Tyler Olander are the only UConn players to go to two national championship games in their careers.
-- Daniels is averaging 17.6 points during the NCAA run.
-- The Wildcats are first team ever to win four straight games by five points or fewer in tourney.
-- Kentucky has seven freshmen in its rotation, including all five starters.
-- Olander on how the team's tight bond has helped UConn reach this point: "When you stick together, anything can happen."
-- Should be a lot more Kentucky fans here tonight than UConn fans.
-- Expect another UConn family reunion tonight, as former players and coaches flock to watch the Huskies play for the title.
-- Check back later for a post-game breakdown and video. Follow me on Twitter @GavinKeefe for regular updates.

Evan Longoria Signs Six-Year, $100 Million Contract Extension That Could Keep Him With Tampa Bay Rays Until 2023
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/26/12
If Evan Longoria isn't a Tampa Bay Ray for life, it certainly won't be for a lack of trying. The third baseman agreed to a six-year, $100 million contract extension with the team on Monday, which means that he will be under team control until 2023. The 27-year-old had previously signed a six-year, $17.5 million deal with the team that included team options for the 2014-16 seasons where he would be paid $7.5 million, $11 million and $11.5 million, respectively. With the new deal including an option for the 2023 season, Longoria could be signed with the Rays until he is 38 years old. In 2012, Longoria battled injuries through much of the year and appeared in just 74 games while batting .289 with 17 home runs and 55 runs batted in. The three-time All Star was drafted No. 3 overall by the Rays in the 2006 draft, and it appears he will be spending the entirety of his professional baseball life as a member of the Rays organization.

The Wahlberg brothers, actor Mark, actor and singer Donnie and chef Paul, are suing the business manager of their Boston-area restaurant, Wahlburgers, for basically being incompetent.
Edward St. Croix has been the manager of Wahlburgers since it opened, but hasn't been doing a good job. The lawsuit cites he "failed to meet even the most basic duties as business manager," and adds he was "incompetent and unqualified" to do his job, which included bookkeeping, licensing and permits. Apparently, St. Croix also diverted money from Wahlburgers into another restaurant he was hoping to open on the side.
The Wahlbergs say because of their former manager's inability to do his job, they are going to have a hard time paying their taxes.

moreThe book covers the field of solar system astrophysics beginning with basic tools of spherical astronomy and coordinate frames and celestial mechanics. Historical introductions precede the development and discussion in most chapters. After a basic treatment of the two- and restricted three-body system motions, perturbations are discussed, and then the Earth's gravitational potential field and its effects on satellite orbits. Next follow chapters on the Earth-Moon system and the interior planets. Surfaces are treated as well as the interiors and atmospheres, developing appropriate mathematical tools and the basic geophysics, mineralogy, crystallography, and meteorology required for comprehension.Chapters 5 and 6 involve pedagogically clear, illustrated discussions of the numerical integration of the Adams-Williamson equation and the equations of state in planetary interiors. The discussion of rocks and minerals includes crystallography, essential for understanding the state of matter in planetary interiors and moon rocks. The atmospheres chapter includes detailed discussions of circulation, applicable also to the subsequent discussion of the gas giants. less

We wish you a Merry Christmas 2008Submitted by innowen on Thu, 2008-12-25 09:15.

Review: Wikipatterns by Stewart MaderSubmitted by innowen on Fri, 2008-12-19 01:49.
Information architecture, or how we structure data, intrigues me. When I am online, I love using my RSS feeds to keep me up-to-date with all the blogs and sites that interest me; I love looking at websites and their navigation structures (it shows me how each person uses the web and web tools to organize their interests); and I love collaboration tools. Tools like wikis, that help disseminate and organize information in organic systems.
Wikipatterns, by Stewart Mader, gives readers a guide to using and implementing wikis in their organization. This is a book for non-techies, as it tells you how to use a wiki with your projects, rather than how to install or extend the wiki software with plug-ins. This slim book starts out by offering what a wiki is and what it can offer your project. It then takes the reader through championing and implementing a new wiki. It also covers tips and tricks on getting people to quickly use your wiki and how to avoid or minimize obstacles that could tear down your wiki usage.

The Bare Necessities: A Q&A with Jason KinzigerSubmitted by dougj on Tue, 2008-12-16 03:23.
Something a little different for DIYPlanner today. There are a lot of people out there who make products we love, or who have dedicated themselves to subjects that continue to intrigue us. We're going to start to interview some of these people, learn what makes them tick, and perhaps get an inside look at the industry that makes us more productive, or more creative, or that simply disposes of all our disposable income.
In writing my review of the "Bare" line of notebooks, I became fascinated by Myndology's unique approach to design. I managed to snag one very busy Jason Kinziger, the owner of this small company, to discuss the creation of this series.
Tell me, what was the inspiration for the Bare line?
I made this product as much for me as I did for our customers. I felt the current paper and notebook market has become overloaded with glossy and saccharine products. I honestly have a hard time walking into a big box store without feeling a little nauseous, there is just so much cheap paper and plastic.
Keep the Ball Moving: Using Your Planner to Maintain MomentumSubmitted by dsolot on Fri, 2008-12-12 23:23.
David Solot is a vice president and organizational development consultant working out of Princeton, NJ. He specializes in helping companies hire and develop top performers, using a combination of psychological assessments, individual coaching, and strategic planning tools. David holds a Masters Degree in clinical psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and is an active member of both SHRM and the APA.
"The ball's in your court." Regardless of our interest in sports, we've all heard and used that metaphor. Even in your day-to-day working environment. The meaning is pretty simple – it's your turn to act. You might be working on a project with peers and need to provide the next piece of data. You could be negotiating a deal over the phone and need to make the next call. You could be doing market research for a new product and need to pass along what you've learned. Whatever the topic may be, when the ball's in your court, it means you need to act.
The ability to handle the ball when it's in your court is critical to how your peers, your managers, and your clients perceive you. One of the worst mistakes you can make in business is to "drop the ball." Like the original expression, you don't need to be an athlete to understand what this one means. When the ball's in your court and you drop it, you failed to act. Or failed to act appropriately. You may have gotten distracted and failed to make a critical phone call at the right time. You might have failed to give information to the key stakeholders by a required due date. You might have failed to sign the new contract sitting on your desk instead of getting it into the hands of your client. All these actions say one thing: You dropped the ball.
In this economy, our actions or inactions takes on a monumental level of importance. When times are good and sales are plentiful, dropping the ball can be a minor annoyance. When times are hard, however, each opportunity for your business or career becomes critical. Dropping the ball results in lost revenue, a lost job offer, or even the insidious downwards creep of your performance evaluation.
So you have the ball. It's in your court ... how do you handle it? With my clients and my employees, I teach two simple concepts for maintaining momentum.
Review: Developing Story IdeasSubmitted by innowen on Thu, 2008-12-11 21:42.
Developing Story Ideas, by Michael Rabiger, tackles the question that plagues most writers today: where do you get your ideas. This book is his valiant attempt at an answer. It's also a textbook, aimed for use in screenwriting classrooms. I saw it on the textbook shelves for the Art Institute of Portland while perusing books at Powell's. The title was enough to intrigue me and I knew that I needed a copy. Despite the book's goal to provide exercises and structure to fit a classroom setting, Rabiger recognizes that the work could be read and used by the solo writer. He also recognizes that the text can be used to apply to all sorts of storytelling formats: screenplays, novels, short stories, memoirs.
Rabiger's premise is that you can use your life, the situations you've been in, the people that have come into contact with you, your dreams (both goal based and night time meanderings), and your imagination to create amazing stories. The chapters are structured similarly: introducing a topic and then diving straight into three or four exercises (that you can do on your own or in a classroom setting) that show you how to use or develop the concept being discussed. Concepts in later chapters build off and use elements of earlier ones. Developing Story Ideas also includes chapters dedicated to the tools of the trade, reviewing current/past works of others, and revising your works into standard formats.

Shoot-out Review: 3 Cheap Fountain Pens, Part III - Parker ReflexSubmitted by dougj on Mon, 2008-12-08 15:00.
In my quest to find an inexpensive and economical fountain pen, I've previously looked at two options. The Pilot Vpen (a.k.a., Varsity) is quite an ordinary looking pen with a good nib, but no way of refilling its ink, and the unique look of Bic Select X Pen was otherwise betrayed by its cheap materials and the various ergonomic factors that made my hand cramp. Last on my list is the Parker Reflex (the red pen on the left). Can Parker pull off a quality starter pen for less than $10, or will all three of these writing instruments be confined to my junk drawer (a.k.a., the pen graveyard)?
Whereas the body of the Vpen looks like a regular wavy-paint dollar-store rollerball and the X Pen looks like a retro submarine, the Parker Reflex is much more spartan in its design. Its unassuming outside appearance is essentially a long and thick coloured stick, its only design attributes being a glossy plastic body, an inlaid matte black plastic round at either end, and a wide stainless steel spring clip in the shape of a stylized arrow (a Parker trademark). The plastic on my candy apple red model is somewhat pearlescent under bright light, a not unpleasant effect when matched against the clip and end pieces.

NaNoWrimo is done. You've written 50,000 words, and got your first draft done. Now what? As a writing coach, this is a question I recently posted to several of my clients. While writing a 50,000 word novel is quite an accomplishment, many writers stop with that task and don't do anything to pursue it further. Or if they do pursue it further, many writers get caught up in an endless cycle of writing, editing, and revision, with no clear goal in sight for when the work will be submitted to a publisher.
While NaNoWrimo is an excellent motivation for getting people to write and edit each others' works, the next step of submitting the book for publishing is just as crucial, because it takes those 50,000 words and turns them into a novel.
On December 8th from 5:30 to 6:30 PST I am offering a free teleclass "When you know it's time to publish: How to let go of your writing". In this class I will discuss how to know when it's time to let go of your writing and trust yourself to send it off to a publisher.

TGIO: My Post NaNoWriMo RecapSubmitted by innowen on Tue, 2008-12-02 00:25.
Well, it's the end of November and I achieved what I set out to do. This year, I gone and done crazy (and it was crazy, believe me!). I wrote 50,768 words by hand. It took me 17 days; with an average of 3,000 words a day. If you go to my domain, you can check out the daily log that I kept through it all. It details my progress through the month: the good, the bad, and the whining.
TGIO, or Thank God It's Over, happened twice for me this year. The short and sweet point of it happened when I turned in the novel and got official approval of being a winner. However, the earlier and more bittersweet moment happened when I penned the words "The End" onto the last signature of my writing journal. That moment is the hardest, because I I had to say goodbye to the world I've created. Seventeen days is quite a long time to live in the world of my protagonist. A world where magic lives and good triumphs over evil--with nothing more than the power of intellect. I loved writing about the lives of my characters, their journey of uncovering information, and exposing the darker side of what could exist in our world. After spending all that time in this world, it's hard to let it go. This year, when I closed the leather cover, it made the transition from that world back to my world seem very real. I went to bed that night and cried. I wasn't ready to let go. Is any writer really ready for that moment?
But it's all over for me now. Seeing that I've had a week or so to think it all over, I wanted to share some final thoughts on what I learned from the experience of writing longhand.
Review: Myndology Bare NotebooksSubmitted by dougj on Sat, 2008-11-08 04:53.
Every now and then I get a notebook that's a joy to use. It could be for many reasons, including paper quality, design, sizing, ease of use, uncommon personal preferences, ideology, loyalty or --yes-- even the buy-in from marketing and advertising. Since I actually work in a marketing firm, I like to think I'm more skeptical in this regard than most, but the rest of the qualities can coalesce into a notebook that's a real pleasure to write in. The hunt for such a beast continues daily, and each week I try another handful.
When Jason from Myndology offered to send me a few samples of their "Bare" line of notebooks, I hadn't very high hopes. In fact, because they were designed from the ground up to be "environmentally responsible," I was prepared for the worst. Several other recycled products sent to me for review have barely seen a line of ink before I passed them off to other less demanding users. Most of them are fountain pen unfriendly (to say the least), with excessive bleeding to the point where I can't use an overleaf. Glued bindings often become unstuck, the fibres of cover and paper start to fall apart in damp air, and some earthy but impractical thing gets in my way, e.g., a scratchy hemp bookmark, a brittle dried flower, or --heaven forbid-- an actual acorn or pine cone hot-glued to the front. Plus, the design generally falls into one of two categories: recycled book covers (usually random, but you're more likely to get a low-budget Harlequin knockoff than "A Farewell to Arms"); or a piece of cardboard that looks like the back of a cheap steno pad. Given past experience, and that Myndology is currently a sponsor of DIYPlanner.com, I was a little concerned that writing a Bare review might prove precarious....

The Gore campaign is seriously considering a legal challenge to the highly contested vote count in Florida, a top campaign official tells ABCNEWS' Nightline.
Democrats are looking carefully at ballots cast in Palm Beach County, Fla., where many voters complained the ballot was so confusing they accidentally voted for Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan instead of Al Gore.
Florida's 25 Electoral College votes would put either Gore, the Democrat who now has 260 electoral votes, or Republican George W. Bush, who has 246, past the 270 needed to win the presidency.
The potential mix-up in Palm Beach is just one of many complaints being fielded in Florida, where an exhaustive recount in one of the tightest presidential contests in decades got under way Wednesday.
Before the recount, the official tally had Bush leading Gore by only 1,784 votes. That margin fell within the one-half of 1 percent of the vote needed to call for a recount under Florida state law.
There were so many mistakes made, according to Democratic sources in Florida, that more than 19,000 ballots in Palm Beach County — 4 percent of the total — were disqualified because they contained punches for more than one presidential candidate.
After the first day of Florida's recount, with 32 out of 67 counties retallied, Gore had picked up a net gain of 843 votes.
Serious Legal Challenge May Come
A senior official in the Gore campaign tells ABCNEWS' Nightline that given the seriousness of the revelations in Palm Beach County, the campaign is definitely "moving in the direction" of mounting a serious legal challenge.
Hundreds of Gore supporters called the county elections office on Wednesday, saying the punch-card ballot was so confusing they thought they may have accidentally voted for Buchanan instead of Gore. In fact, Palm Beach county officials sent out notices to poll workers to remind voters that "they're to punch the hole next to the arrow, next to the number, next to the candidate they wish to vote for."
Regardless of the efforts made by county officials, three Palm Beach county voters said they would sue, seeking a new election.
The Democratic congressman from the district said he was outraged.
"We have an election law catastrophe in Florida!" an angry Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Fla., told Nightline. He argued that there is enough evidence to warrant not only a recount, but a court challenge as well.
"I saw with my own eyes several hundred people come out of the ballot box in hysterics, but I also know other things," Wexler said. "The numbers speak for themselves."
"I know my people," he added. "Trust me when I tell you there are communities where Pat Buchanan would never get five or six dozen votes and he did."
On Wednesday, Florida election officials said the ballot complied with state law and that both parties had approved it before the election. The Bush campaign insisted there was no evidence of fraud.
Buchanan Ballot Blunder?
Democratic Party officials said sample ballots handed to Florida voters by volunteers as they entered the polling places in precincts in Palm Beach listed the candidates in a different order than what voters saw in the voting booths.
The result, they said, was voters who referenced the sample ballots to cast their votes may have voted for Buchanan when they thought they were voting for Gore.
