The company is once again offering its refurbished eMac desktop computer. Only the 17-inch model is available featuring a 1.42GHz G4 processor with 512MB of memory and a 160GB hard drive for $800. The Apple Canada Store is offering refurbished iPod shuffles in 512MB and 1GB capacities for $59 and $95, respectively, and is offering its 512MB iPod shuffle with a free External Battery Pack or Shuffle Armband as part of the company's "Reborn to rock" promotion.
More than 4000 applications are now available as Universal Binaries for native performance on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs and there have been more than one million downloads of Apple's Boot Camp software. The company said that it expects that 80 percent of 500 "most important applications" will be available as Universal applications by the end of the year, but indicated that some professionals may be waiting to purchase Macs on Universal version of leading products such as Adobe's Creative Suite, which is now expected in the first half of next year. While most applications run under the company's Rosetta technology in Mac OS X Tiger, the software has performance bottlenecks. In addition, the company said that it had more than 1 million people had download its Boot Camp software, which still in beta and expected to be released alongside Mac OS X Leopard in the Spring of next year. (Boot Camp, last updated for Core 2 Duo-enabled Macs in mid-September, allows Mac users to run Windows.)

Apple today said that shipped more than 1.6 million Macs during the quarter, "by far" outpacing its previous record, according to Apple executives on Wednesday's quarterly financials conference call. The company said that 58 percent of the company's revenue for the quarter came from Macs--with its strongest growth in Mac portables. Surging 56 percent from the year-ago quarter, laptop sales, which totaled nearly 1 million units, were buoyed by two large K-12 deals that added about 50,000 units to quarter; Apple, however, did not offer any more information on the deals. In contrast, desktop sales grew only 4 percent, despite the introduction of the new iMac late in the quarter. The iMac, Apple said, was in strong demand, lowering quarter-end inventory levels to below the projected 4-6 week range. The company said it air-freighted some iMacs--typically reserved for portables--in order to get the Mac in the hands of its customers and expects that it will do that same for part of the December quarter.

Apple had another strong retail quarter with record Mac sales at its retail stores--an increase of 60 percent over the year-ago quarter; Apple executives said that 20 million people visited its retail stores during the September quarter, helping the company post a profit of $546 million. Apple said it added 10 new retail stores during the quarter for a total of 165 stores open by the quarter's end and an average of 158 stores during the quarter. While same-store sales increased slightly, the number of iPods sold in its retail stores declined due to the ever-expanding number of points of sale for the popular music device--numbering about 40,000 worldwide. The company said that it was the first time that more half of its retail Mac sales--totaling 323,000 from its retail stores--were to "switchers", a term used for users new to the Mac platform. During the three-month period, each store added about 1,000 users to platform. Average store revenue was $4.6 million and the retail division posted a $50 million operating profit. Executives told investors that it had 5,800 retail store employees.
Apple today said it will expand its Best Buy relationship to more 50 stores around the US, after the successful testing of the pilot program that began earlier this year. During the quarterly conference call, Apple executives said that the the new stores will stock both desktops and portables as well as Mac software and accessories. Earlier this year, the company began testing sales of Macs in seven stores and said that it would consider expanding the program if it was successful. In the program, Macs are being sold by Best Buy employees who have been trained by Apple and expansion of program likely means that nation's leading electronics retailer was able to sell Macs for profit and "provide the level of customer service that Apple customers are used to in Apple's own retail stores"--two key metrics outlined by Best Buy executives. Apple also began a similar pilot program in Circuit City stores, but said it had no new information on that program.
ADS Tech today unveiled Instant FM Music, a Windows-only Web radio recording device designed to find as well as record favorite tracks, podcasts, and sporting events automatically. The device separates and identifies the songs for easy playback, and creates MP3 audio files for usage on most digital music players -- such as Apple's iPod. Measuring 3.25-inches, Instant FM Music includes ADS Tech's Instant Radio software (Windows only) to offer Radio Data Reception System (RDS) capture technology. RDS technology along with the application itself allows users to tune across the entire FM band, and record live broadcasts as well as view displays of RDS/RBDS data. Instant FM Music is available for $40, and works with Windows XP. The device ships with a retractable FM antenna, a USB extension cable, a CD containing Snaptune One as well as Instant Radio software, and a carrying pouch.
Norwegian designers Asono have released the Freebit-H1, an extremely small Bluetooth headset that nevertheless has a significant battery life. The H1 can (in theory) run for nine hours straight, and if put on standby, power should last about 200 hours. The operating range is 33 feet. Asono further claims that the unit is so comfortable, product testers have fallen asleep without removing it. Interested North American buyers will have to order online for 84 Euros ($105 US).
Late Wednedsay, Bang & Olufsen announced the official launch of its first phone for North America. Named only the Serene, the Samsung-made phone is meant to recall classic rotary phones with its circular keypad and black finish. It also demonstrates the principle of "less is more," according to Bang & Olufsen: in contrast to the abundance of buttons on modern cell phones, the Serene has only a subtle directional pad to navigate its menus. Even so, the compact handset incorporates more recent technology such as Bluetooth and a camera. An aluminum hybrid docking station and charger ships with the phone as well. No official carriers or prices have been announced, though the company says it will sell the phone in its stores, giving interested buyers the option of buying an unlocked device instead of committing to a particular service.
Apple today posted a profit of $546 million on strong shipments of Mac portables and a very strong retail quarter. The company said that its overall Mac shipments increased by 30 percent over the year-ago quarter to 1.61 million and that its Mac sales from its own retail division increased by 60 percent from the year-ago quarter. The company saw an increase of 56 percent in portable sales from year ago quarter, while desktop sales rose by a meager 4 percent. The company had very strong Mac shipments in virtually all of its operating segments, except Japan, where it saw a 13 percent decrease in unit shipments from the year-ago quarter (iPod, though, helped it grow 28 percent in revenue from the year-ago quarter). The company saw a 23 percent increase in CPU sales from the year-ago quarter in the Americas and a strong 32 percent increase in Europe. iPod sales increased by 35 percent from the year ago quarter, but average selling price decreased.
Apple is treating its customers like an enemy, according to an InfoWorld blog. Dave Rosenberg outlines his troublesome encounters with Apple's retail store in Palo Alto, CA, as he sought out repairs for his faulty keyboard. After pointing out his squeaky spacebar to an Apple Store "Genius," Rosenberg was reportedly greeted with unknowing responses from the representative appointed to address his issues such as "I've never heard of such a thing," and "everything seems common when you are looking for it." Rosenberg says he recently encountered a series of problems while dealing with Apple, from a faulty returned MacBook to a "very disappointing" MacBook Pro -- which he also returned. The blogger didn't bother with AppleCare due to a colleague's "laughable" experience, and states that open-source companies "don't have the luxury of treating long-time users like they are our enemies."
After upgrading both its N-series and ThinkPad lines to Intel's newer Core 2 Duo processor, Lenovo today said it would upgrade its remaining systems in the budget 3000 range. The pictured V100 is the company's low-cost alternative to the ThinkPad X-series and sports a 12-inch, 1280x800 screen but a thicker chassis. In its upgraded form, the V100 will still be equipped modestly at the base level with a 1.66GHz Core 2 Duo, 512MB of RAM, 80GB hard drive and DVD/CD-RW optical storage; an ExpressCard/54 slot is present for mobile broadband or flash memory cards. Prices will begin at $999 when it ships by the end of October.
Less expensive still is the new C200, a basic model for beginners or those who only need basic mobility. It features the same 1.66GHz processor, RAM, and storage of the V-series but incorporates a less expensive 15-inch, 1024x768 display. The C200 will start at $899 in its Core 2 Duo incarnation. This too is anticipated for a launch in late October.
Apple today announced a 27 percent increase in profit compared to a year-ago, posting revenue of $4.84 billion and a quarterly profit of $546 million, or $.62 per diluted share. The company beat the estimates of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call who forecast Apple to earn 51 cents a share on $4.67 billion, according to MarketWatch. During the same period one-year ago, the company posted revenues of $3.68 billion and net profit of $430 million, or $.50 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Apple said it shipped just over 1.6 million (1,610,000) Macs and 8,729,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 30 percent growth in Macs and 35 percent growth in iPods over the year-ago quarter. In its release, however, Apple dubbed the results as "preliminary"--because of its stock grant issues--saying that they may be "subject to significant adjustment as a result of a likely restatement of historical results."
LG and Samsung have premiered new phones at the Symbian smartphone show, Crave reports. The Joy will be LG's first phone to use Symbian, running OS v9 and S60 third-edition feature pack 1. Physical features will include a 2.4-inch color screen, an expandable microSD slot, and broadband connection through HSDPA (3.5G). Two cameras will be on-board: a 2 MP still camera, and a VGA camera for video communication.
Samsung's SGH-i520 should be very similar to the Joy. It too will use OS v9 and S60 third-edition feature pack 1, as well as HSDPA, a 2 MP camera, and a microSD slot. Where the phones will differ is in the i520's 2.3-inch screen and support for A2DP Bluetooth stereo. Neither LG nor Samsung have announced pricing details on the phones, or when North American versions might be released.
A Sharp today released Opal, the successor to its Acta outliner that brings fluid and responsive outlining to Mac OS X users. Opal enables users to organize lists, track projects, take notes, and store information in an outline. Key features include word counting, the ability to export to Microsoft Word, and planners that can make use of numeric sorting as well as "smart checkboxes" that track task completion automatically. Opal can open 20-year-old Acta outlines, according to A Sharp, and comes with complete documentation allowing users to look up topics offline. Opal is a Universal Binary that runs natively on PowerPC as well as Intel-based Macs, and is available for $32. Opal requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
Motorola has produced multiple special editions of its RAZR to commemorate its success, and today it announced two new versions of the phone that it hopes will revitalize its design even as the KRZR gradually replaces it. Both the new V3 Dragon (pictured) and V3 Cherry Blossom are part of the Miami Ink Collection designed by Ami James, a tattoo artist who hosts TLC's Miami Ink show. Each has a laser-etched, pseudo-Japanese design that wraps around the entire outer shell, which is a dark pearl gray in the case of the Dragon model and pink for the Cherry Blossom.
T-Mobile has been chosen as the official carrier for the Miami Ink line, says Motorola, and the new RAZRs will support the network's myFaves feature for quick access to friends and family. Both will be ready as of October 30th. Pricing was not announced but should be in line with existing models.
Although the high-speed 802.11n WiFi specification is not set to become official until 2008, D-Link today released a slew of networking devices built on the initial draft standard. At the core is the Xtreme N Gigabit Router, a three-antenna network switch that can connect at up to 14 times the real-world speed of the current 802.11g standard (which currently connects between 20 and 25 Mbps). The router also has gigabit Ethernet ports for Internet and local traffic so that wired and wireless devices alike can connect at speeds well beyond 100 Mbps. The Gigabit Router is equally notable as the first 802.11n device to offer built-in intelligent quality-of-service traffic shaping, says D-Link. This prioritizes games, video streams, and other low-latency data over less critical connections such as web browsers. D-Link's router is available immediately for Macs and Windows PCs at a price of $200.
Accordingly, D-Link also released a PCI-based Desktop Adapter as well as a PC Card Laptop Adapter for most portables. Both will also ship today for $120 each.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs will maintain his position at Apple amidst shareholder worries, according to one analyst, following an investigation into recently discovered stock options backdating. Gene Munster, senior analyst of research firm Piper Jaffray notes that despite a total of 150 companies performing options investigations resulting in the resignation of nine CEOs, Apple's top exec is almost certainly in the clear. "The bottom line, it is becoming clear that Steve Jobs will remain Apple's CEO," Munster said. Many Apple shareholders believe Jobs' placement at the head of the company is key to the success of its current and future business efforts, which raised concerns after news broke that one illegally backdated grant was offered to Jobs. Another announcement clarified that Jobs in fact knew of the backdated stock options, but failed to realize the accounting repercussions of such activities. Piper Jaffray is maintains its "outperform" rating on Apple shares with a price target of $99.
Monster Cable intends to make an aggressive contribution to the Zune accessory ecosystem, according to Electronic House. The home theater firm will have six new peripherals made primarily to connect Microsoft's music player to outside audio and video equipment:
In brief: Apple has apparently created MySpace pages for some of its iPod nanos, featuring elegantly designed user profiles to depict the blue, pink, and green models....

FotoNation today announced that its patented in-camera red-eye detection and correction technology has surpassed an installed base of over 50 million digital cameras.
A new photo scanner has just been released by Visioneer that the company believes should make archiving and retouching photos a simple process. As implied by its name, the OneTouch 9520 includes multiple buttons that can automate frequently used scanning methods without requiring that the user delve into the menu system. A bundled copy of Corel's Paint Shop Pro as well as other image editing software should similarly ease the process of restoring old photos. With a 4800x9600 native scanning resolution at 48-bit color, Visioneer says, the resulting scans will be faithful to the originals. A built-in film holder and backlight add the ability to scan 35mm slides and other transparent images. The USB-based photo scanner is already shipping for $200.
On November 10th, Sony will debut its MDR-KX70LW in-canal headphones in Japan, writes ATRACLife. Though not revolutionary in most respects, the headphones will come with a new disc-shaped recoiling mechanism for keeping cords secure and untangled. Other highlights include a gold-plated stereo plug, a carabiner you can hook to belts and bags, and a safety cord designed to attach to Walkmen. The headphones should retail for an MSRP of 6,195 yen (about $52 US) and come in either black or white.

Continuing the spate of 802.11n releases, NEC is preparing the AtermWR8200N, a new router supporting the IEEE draft version of 802.11n. Akihabara News notes that the pyramid-styled router should be capable of a full 130 Mbps and have four wired connections in addition to its broadcast capability. Since the extra performance of the router would be wasted below 802.11n, says NEC, the company will also be offering the WL130NC PCMCIA card. No prices or release dates have been published.
Palm announced today that Canada would receive its first Windows Mobile-based Treo smartphone. Although they have previously received Palm-based Treos and other manufacturers' Windows Mobile devices, Canadians willing to subscribe to Bell Canada only now have access to the Treo 700wx, a newer variant of the 700w that was originially released late last year. The 700wx was first introduced last month through the US carrier Sprint and features double the amount of RAM (64MB) as well as numerous software improvements. Bell Canada users can expect the same EVDO broadband support as their American counterparts. Pricing for the new Treo ranges from $550 CDN with a one-year service to $400 for three years.
Shuttle has put out the SN27P2, an AMD variant (and upgrade) on the company's Intel-based SD37P2 "barebone" case. While deliberately excluding CPUs, disc drives or video cards, the SN27P2's motherboard (a Shuttle FN27) supports Athlon 64 X2 and FX processors, four DDR 2 memory slots for up to 8 GB of RAM, and a PCI Express x16 slot that can handle double-slot graphics cards so long as you don't require the regular PCI port. Up to four SATA hard drives can be combined. The case also comes with a beefy 400W power supply and native gigabit Ethernet support. Cooling is managed through Shuttle's Silent X system, making use of a full four internal fans. To keep cables out of the way in such a small form factor (12.8x8.3x8.7 inches), some are pre-installed and/or clipped to the chassis.
The Japanese supplier Brul� has begun carrying a new UMPC that caters to less demanding users. Instead of the more common low-voltage Celeron M and Pentium M processors, the Vega is powered by a 500MHz AMD Geode processor. This affects performance, but has a positive impact on the design, according to Brul�. No fan is needed, and with an extended-capacity battery the Vega can run for 5.5 hours while weighing no more than 1.06 pounds. Internet access is limited to a USB WiFi adapter, but the handheld ships with a sizeable 512MB of RAM and a 30GB hard drive. This new UMPC ships from Japan for the equivalent of $1,167 US. If formally released in North America, however, its price should be substantially lower and would undercut the least expensive UMPCs available.
The meeting of Mac fans -- MacFair 2006 -- is returning to southern California, featuring over 28 presentation seminars and 15 training workshops. The event is taking place at Cerritos College in Norwalk on Friday and Saturday, November 4th and 5th. MacTech Magazine Editor-in-Chief and Publisher Neil Ticktin will keynote the event alongside presentations from Peter Mellow, senior lecturer at the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand and winner of the Apple Outstanding Tertiary Educator Award. Arthur Maddalena, lead "Mac genius" at Apple will present an overview of the known features and benefits of the new Mac OS X Leopard, Apple's latest version of Mac OS X which is due to ship in early 2007. Workshops will cover Adobe Photoshop; Adobe InDesign; Final Cut Pro; Aperture; Mac OS X Server/Client; FileMaker Pro; Keynote; DayLite; and Flash. Advanced online registration for the vendor expo, presentation seminars and door prize entry is priced at $17.
Telestream today released Profile|K2 Component 2.1, its Flip4Mac Import and Export Components for Grass Valley Profile and K2 media servers. The components are designed to provide file compatibility and enable fast as well as efficient file transfer between Apple Final Cut Pro editing systems and Grass Valley servers. K2 components provide file-based import/export of IMX D-10 SD video, DV25/50 SD video, and uncompressed audio between Grass Valley K2, Profile, Turbo, and M-Series media servers as well as Final Cut Pro applications. Users can browse, import, edit, and export content to and from devices not natively supported by Final Cut Pro, and transfers can occur faster than real-time. Users can also view keyframes and metadata support to enable a more efficient all-digital workflow, according to Telestream. Flip4Mac Profile|K2 Components are available online for $1,000.
A new variant of ASUS' A8 thin-and-light laptop model was introduced on Wednesday that should appeal more to the average user than the gaming-oriented A8Js. The newer A8Je maintains the 14-inch screen and 1.66GHz Core 2 Duo that defined the previous version, but trades the more advanced graphics for a larger hard drive and a likely lower price. Instead of the expensive GeForce Go 7700, the A8Je uses the more modest 128MB Mobility Radeon X1450 to provide just enough performance for Windows Vista and most 3D games. An 80GB hard drive offers substantially more storage as well. ASUS also promises 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, and a built-in VGA webcam. Though available now, pricing is expected to vary by area and by store as ASUS regularly ships custom-configured models for individual resellers.
The biometrics firm Sequiam recently launched a uniquely accessible fingerprint security system. Where most of these locks are part of large-scale networks, the new BioLock is designed to be used on almost any door -- including homes, says the company. Instead of connecting to a central server, the lock is controlled by an LCD panel on its secure side that can register as many as 50 different visitors. Sequiam has also taken care to make the outside as inconspicuous as possible. When not in use, the outside lock resembles only a standard Black and Decker deadbolt lock (physical backup keys are provided); users press their fingers against a hidden reader along the side to gain access. The BioLock is available now for $249, putting the system within reach of most homeowners.
LG used its presence at the Korea Electronics Show to reveal its first true successor to the Chocolate phone, which the company says will have sold over 6 million units by the end of this year. Known as the Shine or SV420, the replacement almost entirely abandons the glossy black of the earlier model for a brushed-metal surface. LG has also implemented a scrolling key in place of the larger directional pad from the Chocolate, clearing room for a larger 2.2-inch LCD. Cosmetics are not the only upgrade, according to LG. The 1.3-megapixel camera of the original has been replaced by a 2-megapixel Schneider-Kreuznach version, while the built-in storage has been expanded to 1GB. Lastly, a movie creation tool named Muvee has been added that can create videos out of photo slideshows with background music.
LG says it will initially release the Shine in Korea under its own Cyon cellphone label; however, the position of the new phone as a Chocolate successor virtually ensures a North American release for carriers such as Verizon, which is the primary carrier of the phone in the US. A gallery of photos is available after the jump, courtesy of AVING.

What do they dream of doing?
That was exactly my reaction! If I was drinking something I probably would have done a spit take xP
Thank Raptor Jesus you're not agreeing with Beast! xD
What do you think is the most extreme thing Ash and May would do together/for the other? Beast I swear if you say what I think you're going to say >_>
I didn't say anything. You're the ones slipping.
What do they dream of doing?
Traveling the world! xD
What do you think is the most extreme thing Ash and May would do together/for the other?
lol, beast was going to say something until you stopped him, that sick bastard. xD
But I'd say sky diving! xD
Oh yeah, we just imagined everything. Not the sarcasm.
Anyway, I think Ash would brake into a closed convenience store simply because May is on her time of month. She'd send him on a mission and he's desperate. He needs those supplies asap!
Wow wow wow. Sky diving? I was gonna say have mabaphy heart swap and have each other act as one another for a week. See hoe each other lives their life like lucifers fic. Sick ****s
Haha, and he doesn't want to be seen going in to buy those type of items, so he has to do it when no no is looking!!! LMFAO, I love that! xD
@ beast: lol, wtf is on your mind beast? He's being so sick, it's scarying me!! Dx
Sorry to ruin it for ya Gengar ^^;
lol Really? I'd think they'd want to try something different when it's their last day. Maybe go visit an old Pokemon? Oh, I know what May would want. To have a Beautifly moment like her parents did :3 Awww, that'd be so cute! It's like that one fanart
Haha, you're so right Aly! That's why I had to say something.
That was actually the first thing that popped into my head...but then I got the other idea Once again we have had our estrogenic telepathy. Yay! *glomp*
@ beast: and really? Trading bodies is even worse you sick bastard! Dx
What's with you today? Dx
@ Sierra: Yup, we're thinking very much alike! *glomps* xD
And that would be awesome if the had a Beautifly moment! xD
Uh huh, just feign innocence Beast. Although I will admit that's a really great idea!
Thanks Aly! Oh, Ash would probably go in a disguise. Aha! He'd dress as Paul so that if anyone sees him then that's who will receive the relentless torture!
That brings me to the next question. Who do you think Ash/May would cosplay as?
Aw Aly, let's give Beast the benefit of the doubt (we do owe him one after all x3)
Eh, but I don't think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. xD
But I suppose. x3
Hm.............Honestly I can't see them in anything other than Poke costumes. Ash would of course be a Pikachu, and May a Beautifly :3
lol Probably not, but we should give it to him (:
I like it too Gengar, so you're not alone :3 Good night and sweet dreams! Hope we didn't disturb you too much to give you nightmares xD
Who do you think Ash/May would cosplay as?
I like both of your ideas! xD

And G'night Gengar! xD

Let it end. I was hoping it would end in sinnoh. Really...
I agree with you Beast. I was so surprised when my friend told me there was a Pokemon series after DP. I was in denial for 2 whole weeks.
Okay, if Ash and May were to adopt, who would it be? It can be anyone, age is not relevant (consider this an AU if you must).
Kari from digimon. I wanna see them have a daughter. And tk as their son. Tk reminds me of ash sorta.
Awww, that sounds so cute! I think they'd adopt Hunny from Ouran Highschool Host Club. So much adorableness could ensue!!
I've never actually watched Digimon, so I wouldn't know.
I'm not entirely sure. lol, how about an African child named Pablo? xD

Personally I think this is a question to ask a professional upholsterer. If you don't do it correctly you may end up spending a lot of time and oodles of money for something that will look awful in a few short months. Are you willing to simply purchase a fabric sofa cover that is washable instead or dress the sofa up with sofa throw pillow and strategically placed blanket throws?

Three held for cigarette van robberyComment on this story
Katlehong - Three men were arrested for allegedly robbing a panel van of cigarettes with an estimated street value of R20 000 in Zonkizizwe, Katlehong, on Friday, Gauteng police said.
The men, aged 22, 27 and 29, were arrested along the R103 and N3 highway on Friday afternoon, police said in a statement.
"Police were earlier at the scene of an armed robbery where a driver of the panel van delivering cigarettes was robbed at gunpoint."
Two of the men were found in a silver BMW, while the third man was arrested in a taxi while trying to flee.
The panel van was recovered at the scene and the cigarettes seized.
The men were expected to appear in Heidelberg Magistrate's Court soon.

text: there's one more step. under settings, in general (where you set up the day and night skin) go to page 3 (keeps track of what page you're on in the upper right corner) and the second button down is "auto switch skin", turn that on. it doesn't really make sense that it's all the way in there and not near the actual part where you set up the skin, but you only got to hit it once and it'll do the job for ya!

"I believe the only effective remedy for Attorney General activism is action by the state legislatures to statutorily curb it." So said Attorney General of Colorado John Suthers to the Federalist Society. He is running for reelection against Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett.
If activism in an attorney general is a true concern, one might also be concerned about the Colorado AG who filed a brief with the United States Supreme Court in support of West Virginia's judicial system in a case in which a judge, who was helped onto the state's highest bench with $3 million of campaign effort from Massey Coal, later ruled on a case involving that company. He ruled in favor of Massey, of course.
Mr. Suthers' stand made in Colorado's name was that any state's ethics rules can handle this, and protecting any state's sovereignty means protecting Colorado's.
However Suthers' effort to protect Colorado was superfluous and therefore grandstanding. As told recently by former Colorado Supreme Court Justice Jean Dubofsky in the Denver Post, "Colorado's system of judicial selection has become the envy of the nation, retaining impartiality and integrity while functioning out of the political spotlight -- as it should."
Another issue is that Suthers' brief suggested that what goes in West Virginia should stay in West Virginia -- even as West Virginia is widely touted as a "banana republic" for the extent to which mining interests have influenced its government officials for over a hundred years. Getting that Massey case out of West Virginia was likely the only way for the due process assured by the 14th Amendment to get a chance.
In the end, the US Supreme Court ruled that Massey's judge should have recused himself. It was June of 2009, just ten months before a gas explosion in Massey's Upper Big Branch mine killed twenty-nine miners and showed the nation how Massey Coal plays the appeals game to evade enforcement on the company's thousands of safety violations. So it's all the more important that companies like Massey are not to be judged by their bought-and-paid-for justices.
Mr. Suthers' states-rights effort clearly passed him on a conservative litmus test, but his haphazard comradeship with Massey is a poor fit for Colorado. We don't tear down mountains for filthy fuel, instead, we created the nation's first voter-passed renewable energy standard. His activism would only provoke eye-rolling if Massey's total influence and its results were not so tragic.
A tragedy that is most directly Colorado's business was Suthers' approval of the release of Scott Kimball from prison so that the latter might be an informant on a drug ring. As we all know, Scott Kimball was later convicted in Boulder for four murders by District Attorney Stan Garnett, in a process of persistent sleuthing. The meticulous care of Garnett's office shut down a spree of violence that Suthers' office unleashed through mind-boggling carelessness.
Sadly, Suthers' office (then he was a U.S. Attorney) sprang Kimball even though his prior sentencing judge, John Henson, had written that Kimball had failed three opportunities at rehabilitation, was impossible to supervise in a community setting, was irresponsible, untruthful, did what he wanted regardless of the court, and was likely to commit another crime. (Click here to find a link for a PDF giving the judge's ruling against Kimball).
A fine informant that fellow would make!
And the sorry investment made for this informant also ran the risk that Kimball was violent, as documented in his ex-wife's reports to police of multiple instances of rape at gunpoint. Was it worth the risk that she was just making false statements? Ask the loved ones of those now deceased.
Mr. Suthers' partisan efforts also include (but are not limited to) weighing in against gay marriage to affect Nebraska's constitution, even though our state has relatively progressive laws protecting gays. And of course he sued in opposition to federal health care reform and its mandate for people to purchase coverage. He says it's to protect Coloradans, but from what? So Colorado can be a sanctuary state to health care freeloaders? Also annoying, Suthers has proclaimed that if the government can make us buy insurance, it can make us buy anything - a slippery slope argument about as compelling in legal proceedings as pounding on the table.
For all that John Suthers has done well for Colorado, such as helping the legislature draft a slew of new consumer protection laws as well as investigating foreclosure fraud, he does fit the pattern of one who presides at a high level with an eye out for partisan activism. And the cost of that hands-off, high-flying quality in the Kimball case is unbearable.

it's very annoying. obviously the assholes who say this aren't gonna get laid. why do you guys assume we aren't shaven?
Why do guys always say Asian women don't shave?
What Guys Said
In porn, particularly Japanese, MOST of them don't shave their bush. I'm not sure why they don't do that, probably a culture thing. Asian women outside of porn are different, but I'm not one to ask every one of them if they are "bare" or not. Americanized Asians shave though. My own experiences with women have been mixed: hairy and shaved. Unfortunately, all the Asian women I have banged were hired. Older women don't shave while the younger ones generally do.
Simple generalization
i would assume, mostly from porn...but in my experience all Asian girls I've seen shave. so its just some closed minded people that think that way or just assume that its like that.
I've found that you can never assume something like that until you see it. I have to say though that an Asian girl that is shaved, looks really good.
This question is basically on everyone's mind because there is hardly any Asian woman, who shaves their genital area, completely different in the aspect of western women. The modern age has made many changes but some things are there like a tradition, non shaving is one of them, and it is being continued from ages; however fashion conscious any Asian woman may be, you will hardly find anyone who clear region between their legs. This may be questioning or surprising to many people but if you see the reasons from their point of view, the causes are quite obvious to be followed by them.
First of all, the female genital area is very sensitive and greatly responsive to even a little bit of discomfort or pain, due to the dense number of nerves and reflex tissues are present there, so in attempt of shaving, there is quite a bit risk of cutting or bleeding as woman are not accustomed to any kind of shaving unlike men. So it bears a great deal of fear and embarrassment for the lady if she cuts herself while shaving in the vital region, apart from the pain it will cause, the thought of this problem prevents them from shaving in any way possible.
To remove hair, waxing is a good technique; women are comfortable with the idea of plucking hair or waxing from unwanted body parts like eyebrow or face but it inflicts pain for them. As far as the genital part is concerned, that is one of the most sensitive body parts which are nearly impossible to remove hair from by waxing or plucking as the process will be extremely painful. Chemical ingredients also not used by Asian girls from the fear of infection or bad odor.
And even if they remove by shaving or any way possible, it again feels pain when the hair grows back, hurts continuously and to prevent that she has to shave regularly like many western woman does, but the process is time consuming and most troubling for which no Asian woman want to try it.
So apart from the time and trouble it taken to clean up their pubic hair, Asian woman find it typically weird to shave up her genital as there is no such tradition among them and it goes against their ritual to do so. Again, shaving makes them uncomfortable and uneasy regardless if her sexual partner wants it badly, she feel its weird to fulfill this demand of him for these necessary reasons. So you have to see through her eye why it is difficult to find any Asian woman with clean shaved private part that is described here with the reasons from their personal point of view.
So guys, next time you judge the Asian girl that you are married to or dating, think about her feelings first before you ask her to shave 'em off all. Do not let your mind manipulate just because you have seen lots of nude pictures of Asian girl without hair online. Remember, they are models and doing it for money. The girl you are with is natural and is not doing it for money. Women take their privacy seriously so be very careful how you approach them. If you seriously want them to shave.
What Girls Said
because "a lot" (not all) of native Asian women don't shave. They naturally don't grow that much hair and don't really shave. Usually, only more Americanized Asian women shave/wax.
Can I get best answer...?
They grow a lot of hair down there... but usually not on arms or legs.
Then you American women look like gorillas? you know asian women don't have as much hair as you do, besides, don't answer if you got nothing to say......
Have an opinion?

What do you get when you mix a top national recruit, a couple of other returning starters and a post-season seasoned team coming off a 20-win season?

Long story short... Worst pair of boots I've owned.
the tongue in them doesn't have the padding that my old ones had (I don't think any redwings have a padded tongue anymore) so I get blisters on my lower shins, the insole is super hard, and they must have changed what the seal or treat the inside of the boot with, because I get the most painful rash on my feet if I wear them for more than 12 hours. I wouldn't pay $20 for these boots, let alone $225 again. Its almost like the boots refuse to break in, even after multiple oilings
What model of boot you got
Last 2 models I owned has padded tongue

Two US Army Apache attack helicopters from the 1-501 Attack, 4th Brigade, 1st Armored Division, fly over Baghdad in 2003. The US announced Monday that it will sell eight Apache attack helicopters to Jakarta. (Stan Honda / AFP)
- Filed Under
JAKARTA — The United States announced Monday it would sell eight Apache attack helicopters to Jakarta as it seeks to bolster ties with Southeast Asia despite concerns over the Indonesian militarys rights record.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel disclosed the $500 million deal which includes pilot training and radars on a visit to the Indonesian capital, his second stop on a week-long tour of the region.
It is aimed at strengthening military ties as part of the US pivot toward the Asia-Pacific amid concern about Beijings growing assertiveness, but Hagels attention has been diverted from the trip by a confrontation with Syria.
Providing Indonesia these world-class helicopters is an example of our commitment to help build Indonesias military capability, said Hagel after talks with his Indonesian counterpart, Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro.
A strong Indonesia is good for the region.
A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, added that the sale of the Apache helicopters the first ever to the Indonesian military was prudent to support security in the region.
Officials did not say when the helicopters, which are made by US aircraft maker Boeing, would be delivered.
The US froze defense cooperation and arms sales to Indonesia over concerns about abuses during President Suhartos three-decade rule, which ended in 1998. Military ties were restored in 2005.
Under Suharto, the armys special forces were accused of extrajudicial killings, and the helicopter sale comes despite continued concern about the militarys rights record.
The Dutch parliament last year rejected a proposed sale of tanks to Indonesia, its former colony, over human rights concerns.
However, Yusgiantoro told reporters Monday that the armed forces had undergone a process of reform since 1998. We have changed now.
The sale also comes amid growing concern in Washington about Beijings assertive stance in South China Sea disputes.
While Indonesia does not have competing claims with Beijing over the sea, like others such as the Philippines, it is a major regional power and is seen as holding a key role in resolving disputes.
Hagel began his Southeast Asia tour last week in Malaysia. After Jakarta, he heads to Brunei on Tuesday for a regional defense gathering that will include China.
On Thursday, he flies to the Philippines on his final stop.

|Effect of atrial antitachycardia pacing treatments in patients with an atrial defibrillator: randomised study comparing subthreshold and nominal pacing outputs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11997413 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To assess the true efficacy of antitachycardia pacing on spontaneous persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with an implanted atrial defibrillator, by comparing the effects of nominal pacing treatment with subthreshold pacing treatment.
DESIGN: The effects of antitachycardia pacing and burst 50 Hz atrial pacing on spontaneous atrial arrhythmias were evaluated six months after implantation of a Medtronic Jewel AF((R)) atrial defibrillator.
SETTING: Cardiology department in a district general hospital.
PATIENTS: 15 patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.
INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomised to either "nominal" output pacing treatment or surface ECG and endocardial electrogram proven subthreshold "sham" pacing treatment for three months, and then crossed over to the alternative treatment for a further three months.
RESULTS: During the nominal output phase, 31 episodes of atrial fibrillation were treated with 53 bursts of 50 Hz pacing, 98 sequences of ramp atrial pacing, and 61 sequences of burst atrial pacing. Atrial fibrillation was not pace terminated during any episode. Thirty one episodes of atrial tachycardia were treated with 19 bursts of 50 Hz atrial pacing, 103 sequences of ramp atrial pacing, and 38 sequences of burst atrial pacing. Termination of atrial tachycardia was observed in 17 episodes. During the "sham" pacing period, no episodes were terminated by any pacing treatment.
CONCLUSION: Atrial antitachycardia pacing treatments are ineffective at terminating persistent atrial fibrillation but may be useful in terminating episodes of atrial tachycardia or flutter, thus reducing the burden of arrhythmia.

Sly Fox Beer's new 360 Lid turns cans into cups with a simple pull! I'm never one who gets sucked into gimmicks, but this seems practical in a "why isn't everyone doing this" sort of way.
A German-style golden lager brewed with imported German Pils malt and Saaz and Hallertauer hops. This light-bodied beer offers a gentle, dry finish. A perennial favorite in the Sly Fox pubs and our brewer's go-to session beer. Helles Golden Lager in a can offers wide open flavor and aroma.
I've been a fan of Sly Fox for awhile, and in January visited their brewery in Pennsylvania. Definitely worth a trip.

Like something out of a comic book, a superhero with powers of extreme physical length came to the aid of two troubled dolphins in a Chinese Aquarium. Apparently, the dolphins managed to swallow pieces of plastic from the edge of their aquarium and became gravely ill. Attempts to remove the plastic using surgical instruments failed because the dolphins' stomachs contracted in response. So, as the article explains, an epiphany hit doctors,
"Several telephone calls later and Mr. Bao Xishun, certified last year as the world's tallest man, taking the title from previous holder, Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, by a mere 2mm, was on his way, from his home in the province of Inner Mongolia.
The 55-year-old herdsmen was able to use an arm nearly three and a half foot long to reach into the dolphins' mouths and pull out the plastic with his hands, as handlers held their jaws open with towels."
After the assistance of Mr. Bao, who stands at nearly 7ft. 9 inches, the Dolphins reportedly started to recuperate and are now back to full health. This just proves that all of us, in some way, have special talents that can contribute to society. My third nipple is ready at any moment to lend a hand to those that need it.

Thief of Glory
by Sigmund Brouwer
Published by WaterBrook Press
About Thief of Glory
For ten year-old Jeremiah Prins, the life of privilege as the son of a school headmaster in the Dutch East Indies comes crashing to a halt in 1942 after the Japanese Imperialist invasion of the Southeast Pacific. Jeremiah takes on the responsibility of caring for his younger siblings when his father and older stepbrothers are separated from the rest of the family, and he is surprised by what life in the camp reveals about a woman he barely knows-his frail, troubled mother.
Amidst starvation, brutality, sacrifice and generosity, Jeremiah draws on all of his courage and cunning to fill the gap for his mother. Life in the camps is made more tolerable as Jeremiah's boyhood infatuation with his close friend Laura deepens into a friendship from which they both draw strength.
When the darkest sides of humanity threaten to overwhelm Jeremiah and Laura, they reach for God's light and grace, shining through his people. Time and war will test their fortitude and the only thing that will bring them safely to the other side is the most enduring bond of all.

Fall From Grace
by Wayne Arthurson
Published by Forge Books
Watch our interview with Wayne Arthurson
Listen to Wayne Arthurson on CBC's Daybreak Alberta
About Fall From Grace
Leo Desroches goes straight—off the streets, into the newsroom, and up to his neck in murder.
Marking the debut of Leo Desroches, one of the most unusual amateur detectives ever to appear in Canada or points south, this fast-paced, enthralling mystery is the story of a man who had everything, lost it all, and is trying to get it back. Leo Desroches doesn't look like a native, but his mother was Cree, and he understands the problems of indigenous Canadians of the First Nations... which is probably why the Edmonton newspaper he writes for decides he should be their Aboriginal Issues reporter.
He has his own issues to deal with: his compulsive gambling that he couldn't stop even after it cost him his wife and children; his alcoholism; the risk-taking that threatens to derail him every time he starts to get his life back together.
When he's assigned to cover the murder of a young native prostitute, it's just one more story...until the cop in charge lets him view the corpse, something the Edmonton police never do. When Leo writes his article, it starts a chain of events that leads him to discover a much, much bigger story, one that could bring down the entire police department...if it doesn't get him killed.
About Wayne Arthurson
Wayne Arthurson is an aboriginal writer / musician who lives in Edmonton. He is the author of four history books, two novels, and countless magazine articles.

Letters from the Lost
By Helen Waldstein Wilkes
Published by AU Press
Listen to Helen Waldstein Wilkes' interview with CBC Daybreak Alberta
About Letters from the Lost
On March 15, 1939, Helen Waldstein's father snatched his stamped exit visa from a distracted clerk to escape from Prague with his wife and child. As the Nazis closed in on a war-torn Czechoslovakia, only letters from their extended family could reach Canada through the barriers of conflict. The Waldstein family received these letters as they made their lives on a southern Ontario farm, where they learned to be Canadian and forget their Jewish roots.
Helen Waldstein read these letters as an adult―this changed everything. As her past refused to keep silent, Helen followed the trail of the letters back to Europe, where she discovered living witnesses who could attest to the letters' contents. She has here interwoven their stories and her own into a compelling narrative of suffering, survivor guilt, and overcoming intergenerational obstacles when exploring a traumatic past.
About Helen Waldstein Wilkes
Since receiving her Ph.D in French Literature, Helen Waldstein Wilkes spent 30 years teaching at every level in Canada and in the U.S. Her research interests include cross-cultural understanding, language acquisition, and neurolinguistics. Now retired and living in Vancouver, she is actively examining her own cultural inheritance and its impact.

Fishing for Bacon
By Michael Davie
Published by NeWest Press
About Fishing for Bacon
My name's Bacon Sobelowski, and I'm trying to find my someone. Kenny Rogers sings a song that says there's someone for everyone, and in Bellevue where I live, Kenny Rogers' word is gold. It's just too bad my mother thinks girls turn boys into pigs, but that's probably just because my father had enough of her Eggos and walked out.
But maybe she's right. I'm not sure if Sarah is my someone because she got mad and smashed chili peppers into a cut on my head, and maybe my someone wouldn't do that. Karla could be it because she lets me stay at her condo, but she might be too old to be my someone. Then there's Mr. Kwon's daughter, but she's sort of my cousin and I'm not sure if sort-of cousins can be someones at the same time.
I think it might all come down to timing, and if that's true then I'm in trouble. I'm Bacon Sobelowski—who knows if I'll ever find my someone.
"Fishing for Bacon is raw, pungent, funny, and strangely poignant. Michael Davie is one of the most engaging authors to emerge in some time. And now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sudden craving for beef dip." —Will Ferguson, author of Spanish Fly
"I wish success on any book that has the word 'bacon' in the title." —Dennis Cass, author of Head Case: How I Almost Lost My Mind Trying to Understand My Brain
About Michael Davie
While Michael Davie has lived in South Korea, it was his years spent in the Rocky Mountain towns of Waterton, Banff, Canmore, and Jasper, living immersed in an often eccentric resort subculture, that most influenced his creative output, first in publishing a cartoon series, The Last Resort, then in literature with his first novel, Fishing for Bacon.
Davie, who is originally from Lethbridge, graduated from the University of Lethbridge with a Bachelor of Management and studied Creative Writing at the University of Calgary and the Victoria School of Writing. He and his family now live in Victoria, BC.
