"Opera or Death!"
Extended search
More than 325 years of opera in Hamburg
Germany's first Bürgeroper, or People's Opera
More than 325 years have now gone by since culture-loving Hanseatic merchants founded an opera house in Hamburg. On 2nd January 1678 the new music theatre, located between the Jungfernstieg and the Colonnaden, opened its doors with the biblical Singspiel "Adam and Eve" by Johann Theile. The theatre, a plain half-timbered building from the outside, furnished with boxes, stalls and gallery within, was Germany's very first public opera house – pay the entrance fee and in you went, whoever you were, whilst elsewhere, this newborn art form was the exclusive province of nobility.
And even back in those days the theatre already featured impressive stage equipment – lighting effects achieved through transparent pieces of scenery based on the "Laterna Magica" principle delighted the audience, as did colourful fireworks. The Bürgeroper quickly became the leading music venue of the baroque age. Georg Friedrich Händel, Johann Mattheson, Georg Philipp Telemann and Reinhard Keiser all featured here.
Almost a century later, in 1765, on the Gänsemarkt, the "Ackermannsche Comödiantenhaus", or comedy theatre, opened. As well as music theatre and ballet, drama was also part of its programme. It is primarily thanks to Gotthold Ephraim Lessing that the Comödiantenhaus soon became the "Deutsche Nationaltheater" and that the works of Schiller, Goethe, Shakespeare and Lessing featured in the repertoire. At the end of the 18th century spoken drama and opera fought a bitter battle, with the favour of the public swinging from one to the other. But, as time passed, the ardent music-lover gained more and more ground, demanding "opera or death".
Opera stars and prima ballerinas at the "Stadt-Theater"
In 1827 a new opera house was inaugurated on the site of today's State Opera, on Dammtorstrasse. The "Stadt-Theater", with more than 2500 seats, was built to plans from Carl Friedrich Schinkel. Initially, as well as being home to operatic productions the theatre also staged performances by magicians and other exotic entertainers. But its progress towards a music-only theatre was relentless, as more and more big names became associated with it. In 1830, Niccolo Paganini (known as the "Devil's own fiddler") gave his first Hamburg concert, Richard Wagner directed his "Rienzi" in 1844, and the Stadt-Theatre production of "Nabucco" was the first Verdi opera ever to be staged in Germany. Famous singers such as Jenny Lind caused a stir – her enthusiastic fans even going to the lengths of organising her a torchlight procession round the Alster. Prima ballerinas such as Fanny Elssler and Danish star Lucile Grahn were very well received by the Hamburg public, as well as by the critics. "The costumes of Elssler, Grahn etc. are by no means immoral", stated one critic. And a Hamburg newspaper poetically wrote of the frenetic applause received by Fanny Elssler at every performance "Fanny Elssler can always count on true emotional affection. The garlands one throws to her will always remain fresh, drenched in the dew of the joyous tears of the invigorated".
In 1854 the Stadt-Theater encountered a crisis, losing a third of its public, and requiring state subsidy for the first time. Its saviour was Bernhard Pollini, the man who leased it in 1873. He renovated the building to reflect the opulence of the day, and also put in the first electric lights. In 1891 Gustav Mahler began a six-year reign as Principal Musical Director in Hamburg. His artistic endeavours frequently foundered on everyday opera house operations, but he earned wide acclaim nonetheless. His interpretations of Mozart were commendable, and he consolidated his reputation as one of the foremost conductors of Wagner. In 1910 Otto Klemperer directed an opera production at the Stadt-Theatre for the very first time. His "Lohengrin" was a triumph. Two years later, however, he was obliged to leave town in a hurry following a flirtation with singer Elisabeth Schumann, a married woman. The affair became a full-blown scandal when the singer's angry husband struck Klemperer in the face with a riding whip before a performance, in front of a packed house.
From Stadt-Theater to State Opera
In 1925/26 the theatre acquired a new stage house with state-of-the-art equipment, the building that still stands today. During a bombing raid in 1943 the auditorium of what had now become the "Hamburgische Staatsoper" was completely destroyed, but the theatre was able to be saved. However, the show went on only two months after this destruction when the State Opera transferred its performances to other venues – the Thalia Theater and the Musikhalle. After the war, temporary remedies were the order of the day – in 1946 a new venue with 606 seats, increased to 1230 seats three years later. In 1955 the city then at long last acquired a true opera house again, the citizens of Hamburg having once more contributed donations. A lottery was even held to raise money for the new theatre on Dammtorstrasse, which was inaugurated in October of that year with a performance of Mozart's "The Magic Flute". Manager and Artistic Director Günter Rennert promoted the opera house's own ensemble and began directing contemporary works. This is the direction the Hamburg State Opera is still consistently pursuing. Rolf Liebermann, whose 14-year term began in 1959 and who also believed in keeping music theatre up-to-date, also brought contemporary opera forward. A total of 21 first performances of new works took place during his time at the helm. His discerning, ambitious programme meant the theatre was able to attract promising artists. In this way, many a star launched his or her world career in Hamburg in the fifties and sixties, including Anneliese Rothenberger, Martha Mödl, Plácido Domingo, Kurt Moll and Franz Grundheber.
Dance between tradition and vision
Dance also looks back on a long, lively tradition in Hamburg. During the past century, performances of the works of Helga Swedlund, choreography from George Balanchines, interpretations of many a Stravinsky ballet and Peter van Dyks' reign from 1962 to 1970, all caused a stir. Then, in 1973, Hamburg became a true "ballet town" when dancer and choreographer John Neumeier – as imaginative as he was restless – created a new company, settling it in a new ballet centre with its own integrated school of dance. The programme features numerous tours abroad and special events, such as ballet workshops open to the public and "Hamburg Ballet Week" with its concluding Nijinsky Gala.
John Neumeier has been Manager and Artistic Director of Hamburg Ballet since 1997.
Back to the future – opera in the 21st century
Today, more than 325 years after its foundation, the Hamburg State Opera is one of Europe's leading opera houses. Opera Manager and Artistic Director Simone Young and Ballet Manager and Artistic Director John Neumeier create the kind of artistic ambience that underscores this position and shows that the opera house is still as open, modern and alive as it has traditionally been. The theatre management intends taking the artistic traditions of the Hamburg State Opera forward into the coming years, crowning more than 325 years of musical history and dance tradition with even more success. Reflecting current music theatre, combining the works of old with a modern point of view whilst still maintaining the classics of the repertoire, are all-important aspects of the programme. "325 Years of Hamburg State Opera" also provides opportunity to reflect on the theatre's own history. The fact that engagement with history can, at the same time, bring box-office success, is shown by hits such as "Alcina", "L'Incoronazione di Poppea" and "Giulio Cesare in Egitto", part of the baroque cycle. The management of Hamburg State Opera is also laying the foundations for a successful future – the young singers of the International Opera Studio and the students of the Hamburg Ballet School are a guarantee that artistic standards are set to remain high. And with the children's opera series entitled "Opera piccola", a new generation of opera lovers will grow.

With the leaf-lookers gone and the snowbirds flying south for the winter, The West Jefferson Tourism Development Authority mounted a strategy to promote the town's attractions to travelers and locals alike.
In their meeting on Thursday, Oct. 25, West Jefferson Town Manager Brantley Price, TDA chair Josh Williams of Ashe County Cheese, and Earnest O'banion of Nation's Inn were joined by Vivian Miller of Ashe High Country Realty by phone and consulted with Brent Pugh of 97.3 WKBC.
Early in the meeting, Price and board members worked out preparations for the town's Hometown Christmas festivities.
Former mayor Dale Hudler will provide a 15 foot Christmas tree which will be the center of the celebration, and Scott Ballard will be donating wreaths for the event. Price had researched new lights for the tree, and the decision to purchase four strands of LED lights was unanimously agreed upon.
It was decided that a tree lighting ceremony at Backstreet Park will take place at 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23, with caroling, hot chocolate served by elves, and a visit from Santa.
Decorations to transform the town into a winter wonderland were also discussed. The town has purchased several artificial wreaths measuring three feet in diameter complete with lights and bows that will be hung on lamp posts downtown.
The latter part of the meeting was spent appropriating money for advertising. A proposal for radio advertisements was presented and the board discussed cost and benefits of certain types of radio ads.
Pugh suggested that targeting a specific audience would be the best way to spend the town's advertising dollars. "Finding the right demographic is the most important thing. Who will be walking into stores and spending money?" he asked. He then enlightened the board on the kind of music played on each station they were considering.
O'banion pointed out that the type of listener was only one factor in the effectiveness of radio advertising. He noted that the town should focus advertising on areas beyond a two-hour driving radius. "People coming from the Raleigh and Greensboro areas and beyond would have to spend the night, and we would get the occupancy tax. Winston Salem is almost too close; they may buy gas to get home, but the gas stations don't pay occupancy tax so we don't get the money to operate on," said O'banion.
Taking these perspectives into consideration, the board decided to investigate the Raleigh demographic and obtain quotes from radio stations in that area.
With regard to current radio exposure, Williams motioned that the town continue advertising with Wilkesboro-based radio station, 97.3 WKBC through Dec. to reach people throughout the holiday season. "That way, we're putting our name in their ear during that time," said Williams.
This idea was met with a bit of resistance by Miller, who said, "I've been doing this for 23 years, and in my experience, the money is better spent waiting until summer, spring, and fall. We're already going to have people coming for choose and cut."
However, due to the relatively low cost of advertising, Miller agreed to "go along with" the motion made by Williams and seconded by O'banion.
The possibility of creating rack cards or brochures for West Jefferson to distribute to area welcome centers was also discussed. Price and Williams agreed that in their experiences, these are a useful tool for tourists, and are effective methods of advertising.
With leaf season behind us, the town of West Jefferson still has a few draws for tourism such as the choose-and-cut Christmas tree season and the Hometown Christmas celebration, said Williams.
Price said, "What we're trying to do is to get the West Jefferson name out there. So far we're doing a good job and getting compliments on our street scape and other improvements – we're going to try to keep that up."

Google has recently added a feature that makes search suggestions even more useful. Let's say you type [christmas shop] and then you realize that you wanted to search for [christmas tree shop]. You don't have to add the word "tree" to your query: just type "t" before "shop" and Google adjusts the suggestions. The first suggested query is [christmas tree shop].
The change may seem subtle, but I think it's really significant: Google takes into account the caret position and shows suggestions for the word you are currently typing.
Here's another way to use smart suggestions: type "cat" in the search box, then type "r" before "cat". The first suggestion is [ragdoll cat], a popular query starts with "r" and includes the word "cat".
Yet another reason to use Google's search box instead of typing a query in your browser's search box.

Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks
Cambridge University Press, 2007 - Computers - 403 pages
Pattern recognition has long been studied in relation to many different (and mainly unrelated) applications, such as remote sensing, computer vision, space research, and medical imaging. In this book Professor Ripley brings together two crucial ideas in pattern recognition; statistical methods and machine learning via neural networks. Unifying principles are brought to the fore, and the author gives an overview of the state of the subject. Many examples are included to illustrate real problems in pattern recognition and how to overcome them.This is a self-contained account, ideal both as an introduction for non-specialists readers, and also as a handbook for the more expert reader.

"Bridegroom" a new award-winning documentary, is about two men - Shane and Tom- that were in a committed relationship that was tragically cut short.
The film tells the story of what happened after Tom's accidental death, and what happens when a couple doesn't have the legal protection of marriage.
Shane Bitney Crone shared his story on Good Day Chicago Thursday morning, as well as the reason why he needed to share it – to put the issue on the agenda.
The marriage equality debate is still raging in Illinois, as supporters continue their fight to legalize gay marriage in the state.
The film was introduced by Former President Bill Clinton at the Tribeca Film Festival.
"This is really -- on one level -- a wonderful, sad, heartbreaking yet exhilarating and life affirming story," Clinton said. "On another level it's a story about our nation's struggle to make one more step in forming a more perfect union, for which marriage is both the symbol and substance."
Shane's documentary will make its worldwide television premiere on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network on October 27.

Its quite stretchy and the vegan leather details very cool. It fits true to size, i am a 25 in FP jeans and these fit perfectly, longer than on the model, but that's to expect, i am petite 5'4'', 105 lbs. They look great with the white kombucha thermal or the stripe boxy tee, and any roomy slouch not too long pullover. Measurements for size 25.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by FreePeopleFan9 Nice jeans but sizing is strange... I like this style because it's different from the regular plain jeans. The vegan leather trim adds to it. Normally I take a 28 in FP jeans but the sizing is off. Initially tried on size 29 in the black but way too big in the waist and hips so I returned it. Then I bought the blue in 28 and it is too small. I tried the blue in 29 and it fits fine in the waist and snug but not tight. I would have liked it a little more snug knowing that most jeans with spandex usually stretch out a lot. 1.29.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by lanipaige Cute, but not for me I ordered these in the aquatic blue. When I pulled them out of the packaging, they looked very cute. The color was great. However, when I put them on, I wasn't impressed. I'm not a huge fan of the extremely tight, thin fabric for jeans. They fit more like leggings than a pair of denim. The combination of that and the leather stripe down the side made my legs look abnormally large. The pants were extremely unflattering on me. For reference, I am petite (size 24 or 25) and very short (5'0"). The stripe down the side seemed to draw attention to how short my legs are. Not a good fit or style for short legs. It was a hard decision, but I'm sending them back. 1.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by starbow Sexy and cool I love these! I'm 5' 1" 100 lbs and I have a bit of curvy figure. I got a size 25 and the waist is a little loose but the legs fit good.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by LeggoMyMeggo Super cute These pants are too cute for words. The fabric is stretchy. I'm usually a 27 so I ordered a 27, and I struggled to fit into them comfortably. I'm still obsessed with these pants though; they're super cute 8.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Shanaynay Just What I Have Been Looking For These are amazing! I have been searching for a pair of racing striped jeans and I finally found the perfect pair. I ordered the white pair in my usual size (size 26) and they fit perfectly. And unlike a lot of other white jeans these don't make you look huge if you have athletic legs like me.They are super comfortable and I got a ton of compliments on them. The best part about them is that they aren't too long on me like most jeans are because they are supposed to be ankle cropped on normal sized people they fit me like regular jeans (I'm 5'1, 120lbs). These are a must get! 2.1.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mamawana I like 'em. Super skinny and true to size. Nice, flattering, stretchy fit. 1.3.2013

Broadband tower approved for Vt. townOctober 16,2013Broadband tower
approved for town
GUILFORD The Vermont Public Service Board has approved the building of a 90-foot-tall wireless-broadband tower in Guilford.
The board said VTel Wireless Inc. in Springfield has taken reasonable steps to make sure the structure wont have any undue adverse effect on aesthetics at or near the site on Barney Hill Road.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that VTel is working to expand its broadband service statewide. The company is not offering traditional cellular service, but rather a high-speed, wireless Internet service that will compete with traditional Internet providers such as cable companies.
The company has run into opposition in proposing new towers in Wardsboro and Newfane.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

A progressive path: Common Hatred to rock The ZodiacWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
While it doesn't take most bands six years after forming to put out their first record, Northwest Ohio's own Common Hatred isn't interested in being like most bands. As a progressive metal outfit, the quartet knows its brand of metal is in the minority and is proud to wave the prog flag.
"I think that anybody that likes metal can at least appreciate what we do," Common Hatred drummer Brad Babcock said. "And I know the people that are into the more prog type of stuff really enjoy it. There are a few bands around the area that are doing the same thing we're doing, and it's cool. It's kind of like a little family."
Common Hatred will try to bring more fans into that family when it plays at The Zodiac on April 28.
"At every show, we just try to put out as much intensity and emotion [as we can]," Common Hatred vocalist/guitarist Dan Gary said. "At every show, it's pretty much like my own personal therapy that's witnessed by the audience. I just want people to take away just how passionate we are about this, and that we're not just doing it for some sort of superficial gratification.
"This is in the core of all of us."
Rounded out by Babcock's brother Ryan Babcock (bass) and Sam Wright (guitar), Common Hatred officially formed in February of 2006. Now 28, Brad Babcock has been playing music with Wright since junior high, and the pair wanted to form a new group after its old band — Illicit Citizen — dissolved. Once they recruited his brother, Babcock said it took approximately a year-and-a-half to find the right singer in Gary, whom he met at Owens Community College in January of 2006.
"We were trying to be part of the music business program that never was," Babcock said. "But we ended up taking a lot of music classes together, and that's how we kind of got our start with each other."
Though each had their own influences, with Gary a fan of "the heavier stuff" and Babcock into the likes of Tool, Dream Theater, Yes, Rush and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, the pair shared a passion for metal.
"For me, metal's always been something that made sense to me," Gary said. "Like, the pop stuff is fine. I respect every single kind of music, but heavy music and stuff like that — and the progressive music — are the only thing that just kind of made sense to me, and it's the kind of music that I love being [part of] and playing with these guys."
Released on Jan. 17 via bandcamp.com and now available at Rama Lama, Culture Clash and Allied record stores, most of the material for Common Hatred's debut album, "Sleeping Through the Apocalypse," was written approximately three years ago, but a lot has gone on since the band's formation.
In addition to Babcock and Wright each getting married, Babcock — an Otsego grad — moved to Liberty Center approximately two years ago, where the pair began construction on Liberation Sound Studio at his new home.
"We spent a year building this place because actually [Wright] is a carpenter," Babcock said of Liberation Sound Studio, where Common Hatred recorded its debut album. "So me and Sam pretty much built this place. That took us about a year, and so [we] just kind of took a lot of time off getting everything together, and then it took us about another year to just wrap up recording and post-production and all that fun stuff."
The result in "Sleeping Through the Apocalypse" is both an album and a process that Common Hatred is proud of in its debut effort together. In progressive metal nature, the band jams out on the eight-song record; opening track "Accept the Grey" is the only song shorter than seven minutes.
"I personally am of the mentality that when you have something to say, you should take as long as you need to say it and express yourself in that way," Gary said.
Now that Common Hatred has a feel for the recording process and some live experience under its collective belt, the band wants to expand beyond Northwest Ohio and begin touring regionally in the likes of Michigan and Indiana.
"We're not just doing the same old metal that you'll hear anywhere else," Babcock said. "It has been tough because it does go over some people's heads a little bit, and you always hear the joke about prog music as pretentious or whatever. We're definitely not pretentious."
On April 28, Common Hatred will perform at a show that also features Voodoo Nation (Godsmack tribute band) and Minus Elliot at The Zodiac, 135 S. Byrne Road. Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are available for $5 through Common Hatred's website at commonhatred.com. For more information, call (419) 536-2583.

Voters to address oil pipeline issue at Town Meeting
By Anne Dillon and Brian Tokar
This Town Meeting Day, March 5, voters in the Mad River Valley towns of Fayston, Moretown, Waitsfield and Warren will have an opportunity to vote on a resolution to challenge proposed changes to an aging Northeast Kingdom oil pipeline that could have a serious impact on Vermont and our entire region.
The Portland-Montreal Pipeline was built between the 1940s and 1960s and currently pumps up to 400,000 barrels of oil a day from the port of Portland, Maine, to customers in Montreal and beyond, passing through 10 Northeast Kingdom towns. But Canadian companies are considering a very different use for a now-unused pipeline that travels the same route. It is connected to a vast oil pipeline network across Canada and companies like Enbridge – a partial owner of Green Mountain Power – have applied to reverse the flow of their pipes so they can transport highly corrosive and toxic material from the Alberta Tar Sands across Canada and northern New England.
Oil company officials currently deny that they have plans to reverse the pipeline through Vermont, but the evidence suggests that such a plan is in the works, including efforts to build a new pumping station in Dunham, Quebec, just across the border. With people across the U.S. and Canada challenging proposed projects like the Keystone XL Pipeline through Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas and the proposed Northern Gateway through British Columbia, this "Plan C" option could become the path of least resistance for getting tar sands to the coast for export.
Why is there so much opposition to getting oil from the tar sands? Tar sands mining is a massively destructive business and has been called the most environmentally damaging project on Earth. Tens of thousands of acres of Alberta's northern forest are leveled in the extraction process, which puts three to five times as much carbon pollution into the atmosphere as conventional oil extraction. Dr. James Hansen, one of our most respected climate scientists, says that if oil from the tar sands is added to the effects of burning coal, it is "essentially game over" for the Earth's climate system.
The material that is mined from the tar sands is a gravelly, corrosive mix known as "bitumen." It is nothing like liquid crude oil: it is highly acidic, corrosive, and 40 to 70 times thicker. To transport it through a pipeline requires dilution with toxic chemicals such as n-hexane and benzene that damage the human nervous system and can cause cancer.
In 2010, a tar sands pipeline in southwestern Michigan ruptured, dumping more than a million gallons of tar sands residues into the Kalamazoo River and forcing the relocation of 150 families. The cleanup, still under way, is the most expensive inland oil cleanup in history, costing nearly $800 million so far. The old pipeline to Portland has already experienced leaks, just transporting crude oil, including one in 1977 that contaminated the Black River and Lake Memphremagog. In 2009, the Portland-Montreal Pipeline was issued a Notice of Amendment by the U.S. Department of Transportation, requiring substantial "corrective action" to plans and procedures for emergency response training and corrosion controls.
What can we do? On Town Meeting Day, at least 24 Vermont towns, including our four, will have a chance to challenge plans to pump this material through our region. The warned resolution voices the town's opposition to any effort to transport tar sands through Vermont and calls for a thorough environmental review of any tar sands-related pipeline proposal. It also asks our town(s) to help investigate where our own fuel supplies come from, with a goal of phasing out purchases from refineries that use tar sands-derived oil. Larger cities and towns like Burlington will do most of the heavy lifting here, with support from allies across New England. There is an effort in the Legislature to get the state of Vermont to do the same.
The Alberta Tar Sands are far away, but the impacts of mining there are global in scope. By approving this resolution, town voters will help support efforts throughout Vermont and New England to ensure that our region will be tar-sands free.
Dillon lives in Waitsfield. Tokar lives in Plainfield.

Apple loses appeal in UK court, must place ad stating Samsung didn't copy iPad
Apple has lost an appeal against a UK ruling regarding the similarity of the Samsung Galaxy Tab line of tablets to the iPad, and will be forced to run ads acknowledging that Samsung did not, in fact, copy the iPad design. The decision comes after Apple appealed a July ruling by the High Court that Samsung's Galaxy Tab line of tablets did not infringe on the iPad's design. Apple will have to post a link to the original judgement on its UK website, as well as run ads in major publications, the BBC reports:
The US firm had previously been ordered to place a notice to that effect - with a link to the original judgement - on its website and place other adverts in the Daily Mail, Financial Times, T3 Magazine and other publications to "correct the damaging impression" that Samsung was a copycat.
The appeal judges decided not to overturn the decision on the basis that a related Apple design-rights battle in the German courts risked causing confusion in consumers' minds.
The three judges determined that the Galaxy Tab did not infringe on the iPad based on the tests for infringement under UK law. This included the fact that Samsung's logo is on the front of their device, where Apple's registered design states that there should be "no ornamentation", and also that the Apple's design features a "sharp edge", which the Galaxy Tab does not. The Samsung design was also said to be "altoghether busier" than that of the iPad. Apple can still choose to appeal this decision to the UK Supreme Court.
Despite some victories Apple has lost a number of lawsuits to Samsung in a number of countries over tablet design. It should be noted that even in the case of the win in the US, Samsung was found not to have infringed on the iPad's design, and their loss was entirely because the jury felt that they had infringed on the iPhone.
So was the Court of Appeal right in their decision that Samsung did not copy the iPad? Should Apple be forced to publicy acknowledge this on their website and in the press?

Apple loses appeal in UK court, must place ad stating Samsung didn't copy iPad
This is BS. Samsung DID copy Apple, and they should be the ones to put a stupid add up.
Your proof?
Isn't this the suit where the judge ruled that there was no copying because the Samsung devices 'were not cool enough'? If so, I'd run the ad with that.
Jerry Hildebrand from AC explains the situation as only he can: "The FBI issues Android malware warning, forgets how apps work" http://www.androidcentral.com/fbi-issues-android-malware-warning-forgets...
Mr.Hildebrand does not explain the real problem here: major difference AndrOS versus iOS is that iOS apps are sand-boxed , which means: can't talk to each other... but on andrOS they can... so the malware can spread like a bush fire across all Androdevises... that is the major disadvantage of being open ... he also says: * if U see something strange don't install it.*.. sounds like he is a smart cooky ... but apps don't have : malware written on it ....DUDE... they would be masked as free app version of an paid app that U always wanted but was too tight to pay for... in one of so many androstores all over the web... it's easier to call FBI dumb-asses( U really think FBI don't know how apps works ???)... then to tell the truth to U'r andro-freaking fanboys and blind followers ... I do understand
Yeah, I can see where years of not having to think for yourself would make that scary for you.
Thing is, there aren't any "levels" to that comment. Get over yourself.
And if you are ever capable of engaging in adult conversation someday, let me know.
How about, "Samsung didn't rip off the iPad. Good try though."?
In all seriousness this is still a bs ruling. I don't see how Apple is the one getting punished for another company ripping off their designs.
The lawsuit was BS.. I am one that is tired of all this "Let's sue our competitors so we can have the market to ourselves." The form factor of rectangle touchscreen device is just obviously what the public wants. So does everyone that produces a tablet need to choose a different shape, circle, trianlge, hexagon?
I think these companies need to simply focus on making the best product they can for US, the consumer. We will support the best product for our needs. Governments need to also evaluate how they hand out patents. Inspect the patent and see if they are actually attempting to patent something unique and original; or simply trying to gain patents that make it harder for anyone to compete.
Nice objectivity in the comments here.
Best comment yet. :)
I would do just that.
"After a long drawn out legal battle, the court has ruled that Samsung did not copy our design. The court stated that it's reasons are that the Samsung product that we accused them of copying was just not cool enough. We are OK, with the courts ruling."
Samsung did NOT copy Apple. Any idiot that can't see SAMSUNG in bold, capital text across the front and back of a Galaxy Tab should be at fault, not Samsung. It's even meant to be held in landscape orientation as opposed to portrait orientation of the iPad. I use Apple products, but gosh, people need to get off of Apple's d**k. I don't know too many ways a rectangle with a screen can look. Who says Apple is the only one that can have a black or white polygon with curved edges? That is too generic. I'm glad the people of some European legal systems seem to have common sense.
Well-said. Justice was served today in the UK, and in effect, the EU. I just hope that justice will soon be served in the US, and the jury-of-one's verdict will either be reversed, or thrown out, and a new trial ordered, in which ALL evidence will be allowed. Today's ruling made sense.
Maybe its a really nicely designed d**k?
While I agree that these lawsuits are ridiculous, the rectangular, touchscreen tablet is only obvious because one company put one out first. That is all.
Didn't Ive even say once something to the effect that they try to design products in such a way that, even though it has never been done before, once it's done, it's obvious that is how it should have been done all along?
And if it truly is the obvious way of doing things, why did no one do so before?
"And if it truly is the obvious way of doing things, why did no one do so before?"
Because nobody thought there was a market for what amounted to an oversized iPod. Previous tablets were much bulkier due to the hardware requirements of running a full PC OS on them. A design like the iPad was not an option.
They were wrong of course about that market, but that is why.
I think if you read, you'll find that the judge said that prior art showed the form factor that apple as used. I could easily turn around and say apple copied the design of a flatscreen TV and made it smaller! its a rectangle with a screen, you dont see TV companies taking each other to court! that is why this is ridiculous!
I agree. The law suits are ridiculous.
But in the TV space, while they all look similar, they also each have their own feel. LG sets look like LG sets, Samsung like Samsung.
What gets me about the Samsung product are the little things they didn't need to 'copy' - sounds petty, even to myself as I type this, but is my feeling. Why did Samsung need to use a 30-pin 'dock' connector that, as far as I know, Apple was the first to use in 2001?
I disagree there. Maybe a TV expert can pick out the subtle differences between TV brands, but most people would find that impossible without the names on them.
That said, yeah, a LOT of Korean products started life as copycats. It's much easier to break into a market that way. Conserve your R&D dollars until the market starts to mature and then bombard the competition with updates at such a fast rate they can't keep up. It's a pretty successful strategy. Sometimes there is a fine line between legal and not. In this particular case, I think it's pretty clear Apple overreached.
No I'm not Korean but I have been there. I try to avoid Korean products out of principle due to personal observations over the years. That doesn't mean Apple had a case here.
This so called judge has lice in his wig the size of cockroaches chewing away at his brain
He has been drinking the Thames water too long
I won't be surprised some sammysungcopy agent loaded his back pocket for this BS ruling.

Comments about Mushroom Knife with Wild Boar Hair Brush:
I'll admit, I bought this one as a "joke" for my collection of knives, but it surprised me with how functional it really is. Iowa's weather this year was lousy for morels, but I had a few pounds of portobella and plain old white button mushrooms to clean for a family reunion, and this thing was absolutely perfect.
If you have small hands, the handle might be a bit big for you. It fit mine perfectly however, and the brush end was exactly the right stiffness to pry off any clinging dirt, while being gentle enough to not bruise the mushrooms. The curved blade was just right for trimming the stems, and the jimping on the back of the blade made for a firm and steady thumb rest.
The tweezers which are included, and recess into the back of the handle beside the boars hair brush are of the type familiar to anyone who has ever owned a Swiss Army knife. The description in the catologue says it's perfect for removing any thorns and such while out in the field picking mushrooms, and I will have to believe them. With any luck next years weather will be more conducive to mushroom production, and I'll have the chance to try it out. Until then, if you like mushrooms and find yourself cleaning large quantities on occasion, then this knife might just be for you. If nothing else, it'll make a novel and attractive addition to your collection.|
For those who are wondering, this is a folder. The included sheath was the only sour note to this one, as it seems a rather cheaply made and unsubstantial nylon which will surely begin to fail right away if subjected to the field. I would recommend going to a sporting goods store and buying an after market sheath.
Handle length (folded) is approximately 5" including the bristles, while the blade length is 3&1/4" with an effective 2&1/2" cutting surface. It doesn't specify, but it seems to be made of 440 or lesser stainless steel. At any rate, it comes with a satisfactory sharp edge, and has held its edge rather well.

Our Orchestra consists of adults and older youth who rehearse together on Wednesday nights at 6:30. If you have ever played an instrument, you are welcome to come join us and lead in worship. The music we play is fairly demanding and would require the skills of a good high school level player.
This group has had the opportunity to share their music with people on three continents. Commitment to rehearsals is a key to keeping this ministry at the high level of achievement it has attained.
Orchestra rehearsals are Wednesday's at 6:30 p.m. in the Orchestra Rehearsal Room located on the east side of the Upper Level of the Worship Center.

Elisabeth Cole Botzow died peacefully at home on Monday, May 5, 2008. She was 95 years old and had lived in Mt. Kisco, NY, on Chestnut Ridge Road for more than 80 years.
Born in Lenox, MA, August 4, 1912, daughter of Rufus and Annie Hegeler Cole, she grew up in New York City and received her primary education at The Spence School. After a year in Europe with her parents, she attended the Westover School in Middlebury, Connecticut, and graduated in 1931. She then divided her time between studies at Columbia and extended stays with family in Europe where she learned to speak German fluently. She also learned how to ski in the days before lifts, and later became one of the early supporters of both Stowe and Mad River Glen.
On June 4, 1938, she married William G. F. Botzow, of Orange, NJ. With the exception of two years during the Second World War when her husband was stationed as a naval officer at the Officer Candidate School in Hollywood, FL, they made their home in Mt. Kisco, NY. In 1961 they built a cabin at Mad River Glen in Vermont where they vacationed with their children and friends as often as they could.
Elisabeth was an accomplished horticulturist and a mentor to many gardeners. For many years she ran the volunteer program for the Brooklyn Botanical Garden's Kitchawan Research Center in Ossining, NY, raising plants in the greenhouse to support Kitchawan's work. In 1978 she received the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Merit Award "for her selfless devotion to the aims of Kitchawan Research Station since the mid-1960s and, particularly, for her superb efforts in organizing and training volunteers to raise the plant material that is sold both at the plant shop and at plant sales." She was also a frequent judge at the Philadelphia and other flower shows, and an important part of the successful effort to create a National Herb Garden at the National Arboretum in Washington, DC.
She was a lifelong traveler and a lover of music and the arts. She will be remembered for her optimistic spirit, her fairness and her kindness to all.
Mrs. Botzow was a member of the Bedford Golf and Tennis Club, the Amateur Ski Club of New York, the New York Unit of the Herb Society of America, The Bedford Garden Club, The Cosmopolitan Club, and a supporter of numerous charitable organizations. She was a parishioner of St. Matthew's Church in Bedford, NY.
She is survived by a daughter, Annie Hegeler Botzow of Glastonbury, CT; two sons and their wives, Rufus Cole Botzow and Heidi Scrable of Greenwood, VA, and William G.F. Botzow II and Ruth of Pownal, VT; a grandson, Sebastian Botzow of Cincinnati, OH; a sister, Mary Cole Childs of Long Island, NY; and numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews and many dear friends of all ages.
She was predeceased by her husband in 1998 and a daughter, Stephanie Elisabeth Botzow, in 1958.
Private burial will be at the convenience of the family. A memorial gathering will be scheduled at a later date.
Memorial contributions in Mrs. Botzow's name may be made to The Westmoreland Sanctuary, 260 Chestnut Ridge Road, Bedford Corners, NY 10549, or to The Herb Society of America, 9019 Kirtland Chardon Road, Kirtland, OH 44094.

Does BMC's Tejay van Garderen have what it takes it takes mentally to win a major international stage race?
While he has a long list of top-five finishes on his resume, van Garderen still lacks a signature win. On paper at least, the 2013 Amgen Tour of California is van Garderen's race to lose. An all-rounder who can both climb and time-trial, the American is unlikely to find any stage particularly challenging, and the rest of the field is relatively light on potential contenders.
That said, many riders have struggled to win races when they're expected to. And van Garderen is coming back from a long period at home, training in inconsistent weather, and adjusting to the addition of his family's first child.
Stage 2's summit finish in Greater Palm Springs should provide our first indication as to the 24-year-old's chances. Locals say the 3.7-mile climb of Tramway Road is much harder than it looks on paper. And with temperatures expected to top 100 degrees by the end of the Tour's longest stage, time gaps could be significant.
The mark of a great rider is the ability to win under pressure, and van Garderen needs to show that he deserves to be the captain of his team for years to come. A win this week could be the victory that transforms him from an inconsistent challenger into a consistent champion.
Will Cannondale Pro Cycling's Peter Sagan repeat his record-breaking success from last year's ATOC?
Last year's race became the "Peter Sagan Tour of California" after the Slovak won five of the event's eight stages. And while many consider this year's race to be the most difficult in event history, there are still several stages that look to be right up Sagan's alley.
Expect Sagan's biggest challenges to come from Garmin-Sharp's Tyler Farrar and Omega Pharma–Quick-Step's Gianni Meersman. Farrar is still winless this season, but the American is eager to open his 2013 account in front of home fans. And while he doesn't often attend domestic events, his two stage wins at last year's USA Pro Cycling Challenge have perhaps altered his perspective.
As for Meersman, the Belgian has become one of the sport's most underrated sprinters. The 27-year-old already has four stage wins in WorldTour stage races this season, and—like Sagan—excels on hillier days when pure field sprinters are dropped before the finish. It would be a surprise if the Belgian doesn't come away from California with at least one stage victory.
Will RadioShack-Leopard's Andy Schleck finish the race?
A few years ago, this wasn't a question worth asking, but as of late, Andy Schleck's fitness has been far from a given. The trouble started at the beginning of last season when the Luxembourger's poor form elicited criticism from team management. Schleck's bad luck continued at the Criterium du Dauphiné when a crash and subsequent broken pelvis ended his Tour de France before it even began.

PDT Staff Writer
Democratic candidate Jerry Buckler won the election to Scioto County Court of Common Pleas Domestic Relations Court Judge on Tuesday, defeating the sitting Republican judge Jay Willis and independent challenger J.B. Marshall, Jr. The unofficial vote count at the end of the evening was 11,312 for Buckler, 9,788 for Marshall, and 6,571 for Willis.
"I'm a little bit nervous right now, but I'm happy. I've got my my family, my friends, my parents, my supporters, everyone who worked so hard. I'm thrilled," Buckler said.
The Democrat challenger, Buckler is a Lucasville resident who — in addition to his private practice of 16 years — is also a part-time city prosecutor and current member of the Valley School Board and Star Workshop Board and former teacher. He graduated from Valley in 1983 before going on to earn degrees from Rio Grande, Ohio University and Capital University Law School. He is also a former court magistrate in Pike County, but said he has always lived in Scioto County
"I want to change the way the court is running right now. The magistrate position is used too much. I think the judge needs to step up to the plate and do a lot more," Buckler said.
He also wants to help expedite the court process.
"People are in court way too long, and when children are involved the parents are waiting on visiting kids, and just waiting and waiting, and we have to change that," Buckler said.
The independent candidate J.B. Marshall has operated a private law practice in Portsmouth for 33 years. He finished second on Tuesday with 9,788 votes.
Willis is the current-sitting judge, appointed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich in February to complete the unexpired term left vacant by the retirement of former judge David Spears. A graduate of Portsmouth High School, Willis received a bachelor's degree from Capital University and earned his juris doctorate from Capital University Law School. Since 1999, he has served as a magistrate for the Scioto County Court of Common Pleas Domestic Relations Division, and has presided over more than 7,000 domestic court cases. He is a member of the Ohio State Bar Association and the Scioto County Bar Association, and the Ohio Association of Magistrates (OAM). He has been a trustee on the OAM board since 2010.
Willis placed third in the race on Tuesday, with 6,571 votes. He could not be reached for comment following the election on Tuesday.
Buckler thanked both of his opponents for running a clean, friendly campaign.
"I wish them well, and I hope they will support me for a 6-year term," he said.

We received several letters to the editor critiquing Brian McLaren's portrayal of the Pharisees in "Beyond Fire and Brimstone" (Sojourners, February 2014). We've found informative these adapted suggestions from Dr. William F. Brosend II—a professor of homiletics at Sewanee School of Theology—to help avoid unintentional anti-Judaism in the writing, preaching, and teaching of the gospel.
- Remember that Jesus was Jewish. This seems obvious, but a significant portion of unintentional anti-Judaism in Christian preaching is rooted in uncritical and unexamined assumptions. One common misperception is that "the Jewish people did not accept Jesus as Messiah because they were looking for a political, not a spiritual, leader." This is problematic in multiple ways. To say that "the Jewish people did not accept Jesus" ignores the fact that the earliest Christians were Jews who did indeed believe in Jesus, and much of the church remained Jewish for a long time. Moreover, it is impossible to make sense, historically or religiously, of what Jesus said and did apart from his being a Jew. Jewish messianic expectations in the first century were many and varied, so the distinction between a "political" and "spiritual" messiah makes no sense in the New Testament. It is our responsibility both to appreciate Jesus' Jewish identity and to deepen the background needed to appreciate what this means.
- Remember that the biblical God is one God. The ideas that the God of the Old Testament is different from the God of the New Testament and that the Old Testament God is "wrathful" and the New Testament God "merciful" have more in common with the heresy of Marcion than they do with orthodox Christian faith. The biblical God is one God. Both parts of the Christian canon portray God in much more complex ways than the stereotypes.
- Do not confuse inner-Jewish arguments with Jewish-Christian arguments. The gospels were written during a period when the differences between Judaism and Christianity became apparent only in retrospect. When Jesus says, "Woe to you" (Luke 6:25, 26), he is talking to his brothers and sisters, not to an anonymous "other."
- You do not have to put Judaism down to make Jesus look good. Have you heard this before? "Jesus was the only figure in first century Palestine who valued women or resisted the Romans or worked for the oppressed." Not so. The love and compassion of Jesus are fruit of the faith he inherited and passed on to us. It is not sui generis.
- Recognize antagonistic rhetoric for what it is—arguments are usually not pretty. When Jesus is depicted as condemning the scribes and the Pharisees (e.g., seven times in Matthew 23), it is not because he was having a bad day. His anger grounds his rhetoric. Accept and appreciate angry rhetoric for what it is—an attempt to score points at the expense of the integrity of one's adversary. Most of the controversy stories in the gospels should be understood in the context of the agonistic struggle for honor and shame that marks Greco-Roman antiquity.
- Not everything can be explained away. Sometimes we have to say "I disagree." There are times when the rhetoric of the gospels exceeds the bounds of understanding, apology, and acceptance. There are words in the gospels that have long been used to incite Christian anti-Judaism. They must be named, not excused.

"One Italian Spring"
This is one splendid book. The writing is beautiful. The author created word paintings or a kind of musical composition but that is like going to see "The Girl With a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer and saying it is a pretty painting but this is the best I can do. One feels as if you are seeing and feeling with the eyes and emotions of Lucy Honeychurch, Cecil Wyse and George Emerson. This is a triangle of love muddles. The girl says yes to the handsome, rich and cultured Cecil As she grew into a self aware and confident woman, she found that he would never be able to meet her needs. To get a better idea of his character, I refer you to Charlotte Bronte's St. John Rivers in "Jane Eyre" or Mary Ann Evans (George Elliot)'s Tito in "Romula". For these men, there was only themselves with no room for the needs of another. A lighter treatment can be found in Sophie Kinsella's "Remember Me?" It must be confessed that our heroine unknowingly lies, to herself, her family, her fianc?, the man she loves. She must take back her yes and find a way to say yes to the right man while the whole world knows and approves of her engagement. It is at times, quite funny and always engrossing.
The narrator, Rosalyn Landor enjoyed herself and made the book a joy. There is a kind of poetry in the story which she expressed as her own. It was my first time with her. She is tops.
"A nice reading of A Room"
I enjoyed this very British reading. I have always loved the story and Ms David continued that with her excellent narration.
"Love d it"
Had seen a movie years ago so I thought I knew what it was about, as always the book is so much better!
"Lovely Prose but Oblique Narrative"
I tried to appreciate the subtleties of the novel, but found it hard going. Fortunately, the narration was beautiful.
This reminded me of a Jane Austen novel with its slyly humorous portrait of Edwardian society . The narrator was easy on my ears & there was a happy ending...all good. I have not seen the movie but can now definitely picture Maggie Smith as Charlotte.
"Boring story good reader"
Did not enjoy - would feel no different had it been free. No fault of the narration though.
