Long Live Books, Philips introduce new iPad accessories
updated 10:15 pm EST, Mon March 8, 2010
New protective iPad sleeve and cases
Long Live Books and Philips have already expanded their range of accessories for the iPad. Philips has introduced several new products, ranging from protective cases to audio devices. A soft reversible sleeve protects the device from bumps and scratches, offering either a red or black exterior depending on which side the user chooses. The second iPad guard is a soft neoprene and leatherette case utilizing a fold-over flap to help keep the iPad in place. The leatherette material also provides extra protection for the glass screen.
Philips has also announced two new audio devices, a small portable speaker and a pair of earphones featuring bass enhancement. The company has also developed a screen protector that protects the glass surface without interfering with multi-touch functionality.
Long Live Books' newest item is a protective case, the BOOK. The handmade case features a hardcover jacket design on the outside, paired with a soft wool-felt sleeve that holds the iPad in place. Also included is an integrated Velcro edge that helps ensure that the case stays closed.
Philips has yet to announce a price or availability date for the new set of iPad accessories, while the BOOK case can be found from Longlivebooks.com for $90 and is said to take 4 to 8 weeks for delivery.

I was searching online and came across a site I'd not seen before. Nick of Time (dot net). They seem to have a nice selection, has anyone bought from them before, and if so, what was your experience; service, quality, swatching, plus whatever you may wish to share. Thanks!
I have not bought from Nick Of Time, but I did inquire about some red denim and the service was amazing with follow up calls and they sent out a swatch right away. Life got in the way and I never did purchase the fabric but was impressed with the service.
------Carpe diem!
I have purchased many many yards of fleece and other fabrics from them. MM is great price. I can't resist the cheaper price for the 11 yards so have many extra yards around for fun projects. Read carefully and enjoy.
When they say"50 yard minimum", is that hard and fast? Some things have smaller minimums, and the ones I want all say "100 yard min". I guess I just need to keep looking for lower mins., or wait for someone to run a co-op!
Not like I need to buy any more fabric!

Island Post Offices Get Part-Time Status
Seven of Maine's island post offices are going part-time.
The U.S. Postal Service grant of part-time status means the post offices will be open six hours a day, and be spared from deeper cuts in service. U.S. Representatives Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud announced yesterday that post offices on Long Island, Chebeague, North Haven, Islesboro, Cranberry Isles, Swans Island, and Islesford will be open at least six hours a day. The Postal Service had proposed cutting their hours from eight to four or two, in some cases.

asked by Josh Sippola over 4 years ago
Depneds on the job and how desperate you are to get it. What's be more interesting, once awesomize.me gets off the ground, employers start judging their candidates by their ranking and the people who voted for him/her.
Social networking sites like Facebook has become fully integrated as part of both our personal and professional daily life. For the employers to ask for the employees for their Facebook login ID, it's very similar for them to ask us the details of what we did in a party last night, who we talked to, what we said to who, who we shagged, etc. Although, some employees have miss used facebook and ended up sharing certain corporate data with their friends they shouldn't have, but it's the same thing as what you do by going to a personal party over the weekend and do the same thing, except it has sm
aller audience.
I understand the employers concerns with this issue. My only suggestion to them is to set up special sessions for their employees to educate them the negative impacts of sharing company info on Facebook by the employees and hope for the best. (more)

by LatebloomerI was not the type of daughter that my mother wanted. I was a tomboy.My hair was very short and I preferred blue clothes. I wanted to run faster and climb higher than anyone. I wasn't afraid of slimy frogs and worms, and I could kill a spider without batting an eye. I looked with confusion and disdain at the passive little girls with their hair-bows, sitting and talking about clothes and boys. If I had known the term "badass" back then, I would have applied it to myself with pride.When I was young, my mom was more tolerant of this. After all, in the early days, there were mostly boys in my age group in our small homeschooling community. So I was free to run wild … [Read more...]

Emotional Incest Part 3: Daddy's Girl
by Libby Anne[Editors' note: At the time of writing, Libby Anne and Sierra were unaware of the controversy surrounding Hugo Schwyzer. The discussion of his critique of emotional incest is not an endorsement of Schwyzer by NLQ.]In Part 1 I looked at the definition of emotional incest and in Part 2 I looked at how integral emotional incest is to Christian Patriarchy, but in this segment I want to look at how easy it can be for even ordinary families to be sucked into (admittedly, less intense) patterns of emotional incest.I recently came upon an article called "Princesses, Princes, Daughters, and Dads: Against Emotional Incest." The author explains his own experiences as the father … [Read more...]

Emotional Incest Part 2: The Botkins
by Libby AnneAfter discussing the definition of Emotional Incest in Part 1, I am now going to address the way the teachings of leading Christian Patriarchy organization Vision Forum and its close affiliates, the Botkins, essentially mandate emotional incest.Vision Forum teaches that adult daughters are to stay at home until they marry. More than that, it teaches that they are under their father's authority just as they will after marriage be under their husband's authority, and that well they remain at home it is their duty to adopt their father's "vision" in place of their own and serve as "helpmeets in training" to their father in preparation for serving as "helpmeets" to their futu … [Read more...]

Emotional Incest, Part 1: Definitions
by Libby AnneI've been hesitant to write about emotional incest for two reasons: First, it's too easy for people to think "emotional incest" implies a sexual relationship when it doesn't, and second, I've had some experience with it and drudging that up can be painful. But given how integral emotional incest is to the teachings of Vision Forum and Christian Patriarchy, I've decided to devote a few posts to it.Emotional incest is sometimes also called covert incest. It does not involve actual sexual or physical contact. Rather, it involves an unhealthy relationship between parent and child in which the child serves as a sort of emotional spouse or companion to the parent. Here are a co … [Read more...]

Authoritarian Parenting and Emotional Repression
by LatebloomerI have a lot of respect for my dad. He's thoughtful and generous to all of us. His constant reading makes him an interesting and well-informed conversationalist. He makes his life decisions very carefully, yet never looks down on me for making different decisions than him. Instead, he tells me all the time that he loves and misses me, and that he's proud of who I've become. I feel so lucky to have him as my dad.Unfortunately, we have not always gotten along so well. Less than ten years ago, our relationship had been almost completely destroyed thanks to the authoritarian parenting techniques of the fundamentalist Christian homeschooling culture.

Sexuality: the Elephant in the Room
by LatebloomerMy mom walked into my bedroom and handed me a heavy biology textbook. "Read chapter 13," she told me, breathless and blushing. Then she rushed out. I opened to the appropriate chapter: "The Reproductive System". That was my entire sex education; I was 17 years old.I think we can all agree: sex education should probably be done by people who have said the word "sex" out loud at least once in their lives.My parents' denial of sexuality couldn't stop puberty, and couldn't stop our curiosity about sex. Instead, their attitude clearly showed us kids that we could never go to our parents with any questions or concerns that were related to our sexuality or genitals. For … [Read more...]

Homeschooled Girls and Trash Cans: The Social Isolation of Homeschooling
by LatebloomerWhat do homeschooled girls and trash cans have in common? They both only leave the house once a week. This joke was well-received among homeschooled youth because it rang true for so many of us. For almost all of my teen years, church was the only social activity that I engaged in, the only time during the whole week that I might have a chance to interact with people who were not my immediate family. Making friends in that context, especially as a shy teen girl, seems daunting. However, I had an even greater obstacle to deal with: I was not allowed to participate in youth group.My parents were absolutely terrified of teenage rebellion. Thanks to various … [Read more...]

How the Doctrine of Hell Justifies Quiverfull Authoritarian Parenting
by Libby AnneFrom my experience, I would argue that hell is the worst Christian doctrine of all. I'm not even going to get into how there is no justice in punishing finite transgressions with eternal torture, or into all the other problems with the theological ins and outs of hell. Instead, I'm referring to the practical implications of the doctrine.I am a mother. I look at my beautiful young daughter, so full of life and joy and excitement and curiosity, and I feel my love for her bubbling up in my heart. If I believed that there were any possibility that this sweet little thing could end up tortured in a lake of fire for eternity, I would leave no stone unturned in d … [Read more...]

Carefully Scripted Lives – The Real Reality of the Duggar Family "Blessings"
by Libby Anne I can't say how often I've heard ordinary Americans defend Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their popular TLC television show, 19 Kids and Counting. "I wouldn't choose to have nineteen kids," they say, "but if they can manage it, who am I to question their choice?" "The kids look happy and healthy," they say, "look how polite and well mannered they are." I hear these comments and I just have to sigh.First of all, I want to point out that I would have concerns about the Duggars even if they were your ordinary family plus seventeen extra children. For one thing, there is no way any two parents can give nineteen children the individual attention and time they need. It's just no … [Read more...]

How the Modesty Doctrine Hurts Men, Too
by SierraI've written a few times about how the modesty doctrine hurts women. Now it's time to switch lenses. The modesty doctrine also wreaks havoc on the minds of young men in the Christian patriarchy movement. Here's how:It teaches men to be afraid of women because their sexual power is too great to be resisted. It teaches men to despise women and hampers their relationships. It teaches men to be afraid of their own bodies. It teaches men to control and criticize women in order to protect themselves. It teaches men to be paranoid about their sexual orientation. It teaches gay men that they don't exist.(There are probably more consequences of which I'm not aware, so m … [Read more...]

William Luce's Barrymore, staged by Bristol Riverside Theatre, is simple enough. Set just months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, John Barrymore (Keith Baker) is a man in physical, mental and artistic decline. In a desperate attempt to rediscover his waning talent, he rents an old theater for one night to relive his greatest performance as Shakespeare's Richard III. No longer capable of remembering the lines (a by-product of his excessive alcohol abuse), he hires a trusted prompter (William Selby) to lend support.
Dully directed by John Marans, Bristol's production never succeeds in sustaining any momentum. Scenic designer Roman Tatarowicz's tattered theater is an effectively majestic relic and Michael Troncone's sound is lushly appealing, but Selby's prompter is a dull companion for the distraught Barrymore.
As for Baker, he is a capable actor, but he lacks the charisma to make Barrymore a compelling presence and is only partly successful at suggesting the tortured soul that the once-great actor has become.
It's too bad. Charming on stage and off, Barrymore was one of America's first acting celebrities, as famous for his offstage behavior (including four failed marriages) as the talent that made him, at one point, America's greatest Shakespearean actor. His life was as dramatic as the roles he played, but in Luce's play he is a shadow of his former self. His ego remains intact—"one of my greatest regrets will always be that I couldn't watch myself perform" he announces—but the bravado is forced. He's lost his talent and only has himself to blame.
Though Baker has some good moments in BRT's staging, they are too infrequent to make this Barrymore worth a visit.

SGA Fellow
Class of 2011
After doing research as a graduate history student at the Truman Library, I applied for a job with the National Archives and Records Service (part of the General Services Administration at the time) in the Office of Presidential Libraries. After a year-long introduction to archival work with NARS in Washington, I moved to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. Six and one-half years later, I transferred to what was called the Jimmy Carter Presidential Materials Project in Atlanta, starting work the day before President Carter left the White House. With the opening of the Library in 1986, I became Assistant Director, and I retired in 2003, returning to Austin.
Describe how SGA influenced your development as a professional.
Starting work in Atlanta as one of three people on the Carter Presidential Materials Project staff, it was imperative to make contacts in the local archival community. Many of the local archives held material related to the career of President Carter, and most staff members had valuable memories of Governor Carter's career in Georgia politics and his Presidential campaign. I soon found the annual SGA meetings an ideal opportunity to share information about holdings, best practices, and new developments in the profession. My opportunity to serve one year as SGA president and for several years as co-director of the Georgia Archives Institute allowed me to strengthen ties with archival colleagues around the state. The wit and wisdom of my Georgia colleagues was always inspiring.
What advice would you give to a student or individual considering a career in archives?
I was hired as an archivist in the mid-1970's without any education or training in archives. My education was in history, which was common for a new hire of the National Archives and Records Service in those days. I don't believe I ever used a computer until I began work at the Carter Presidential Materials Project in 1981. Today's archival applicant is usually expected to be fluent in both archives and computers. But I do believe that a successful archivist also must have a passion for the subject of the archives in which the archivist works. And despite all of the other demands, each archivist must keep the needs of researchers in mind when establishing priorities.
Describe one of your fondest memories or a highlight of your career in archives.
Certainly two highlights of my career were the opening the Carter Presidential Materials Project in January, 1981, and the opening of the permanent building on October 1, 1986. It was a great pleasure to welcome SGA members to both of these facilities for behind-the-scenes tours. It was also a pleasure to share the excitement of SGA colleagues throughout Georgia as they dedicated new buildings or renovated facilities.
But my truly fondest memories are of the people I worked with at the Carter Library for twenty-three years and the many friends I made in the Georgia archival community during that time. They were always gracious to me and to my wife and son. All three of us remember those years and associations fondly.

The Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- An officer attacked by his own police dog is returning to work after a three-month leave to recover from serious wounds.
Johnny Quijas returns to the force this week, police spokesman Mario Corona said.
Quijas suffered torn ligaments and other wounds to his arms and hands when the dog lunged at him at a training facility, Corona said.
The dog, which had been with the department about a week, was returned to the seller.
On Friday, Quijas will introduce his new dog, Ygor, to students at Edison Elementary School in Santa Ana. The dog, a 4-year-old Belgian malinois, is the only one-eyed police dog in Orange County, police said in a statement.

Former two-time world champion Mao Asada led Japan's medal sweep in the women's singles at the Four Continents championships, remaining unbeaten with five wins in the pre-Olympic season.
Cushioned by a comfortable lead from the short programme and skating to Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake", the 2012 Grand Prix Final winner topped the free skating table with 130.96 points for a two-day total of 205.45.
But Asada, who landed her trademark triple axel for the first time in two years in the short programme on Saturday, under-rotated the high-scoring 3.5-revolution jump as one of a few flaws in her long programme.
Akiko Suzuki, the 2012 world bronze medallist, marked the second best free-skate score of 124.43 points to finish second overall at 190.08.
Another Japanese national Kanako Murakami, the 2010 world junior champion, came in third overall as she did in the short programme with a total of 181.03.
Asada's winning total was the season's best in the world and close to her personal best of 205.50 scored at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics where the 2008 and 2010 world champion finished runner-up to South Korea's Kim Yu-Na.
"I performed superbly in the short programme but I skated the free programme just like I did in training. I should still aim higher," 22-year-old Asada said.
Just after opening her free skate with a clean triple loop, she under-rotated and two-footed on landing a triple axel to show that Asada, the only female skater who regularly attempts the jump, has work to do.
Her triple-triple attempt stopped short by under-rotating the second jump, and used the wrong edge in landing a triple lutz. But she hit a maximum level-four in three spins along the way to top the field in both technical and artistic elements.
Asada had refrained from attempting the triple axel this season until the Four Continents because she frequently bungled the high-scoring jump in the past two seasons after her duel with Kim in Vancouver.
"I want to jump the triple axel at the world championships. I will work hard so that I may be able to perform better still," she said.
She will clash with Kim at the worlds next month in London, Ontario. The South Korean, also 22, hailed at home as "Queen Yu-Na", made her comeback after a break of two seasons in a second-tier competition in December.
But she skipped this annual event which brings together talent from the non-European continents.
It was the third Four Continents title for Asada and the first in three years.
Asada has won two Grand Prix titles in China and Japan as well as the Grand Prix Final and the national championship so far this season.
Canada's national champions Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won the pairs title with a total score of 199.18 points.
Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch, the runners-up to Duhamel and Radford at the Canadian nationals last month, topped the free skating table but finished second overall on 196.78 points.
The ice dance title went to the US duo of Meryl Davis and Charlie White as they came from behind to overtake the short-dance leaders -- Olympic and world ice dance champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada.

Field Questions Pandora Numbers
It's not unusual for Entercom CEO David Field to give a keynote presentation focusing on the positives of radio. Whenever he has a chance, he consistently tells a story about radio's strong listenership, extraordinary reach, and local consumer engagement. "The sky is not falling for broadcast radio," Field told attendees of Kurt Hanson's RAIN Summit in Orlando Tuesday. "Radio reaches 93% of the American public year after year. But Field did enter some new territory, going into an area where very few others have been willing to go -- at least in public: He challenged Pandora listening numbers.
For what seems like years, Pandora has claimed approximately 7% of all radio listening. Those numbers are never questioned or challenged by analysts, and Pandora doesn't provide details on the methodology used to calculate those numbers. Field says they refuse to explain it, adding, "If you measure hours served, does that really mean hours listening? There is a massive audience gap. Broadcast radio has 20 times the audience of Pandora." Field was not done, though. He spoke about radio's local activation, saying, "Pandora does not bring any of that to the table."
And Field took aim at targeted advertising, which Pandora is very big on, and very good at. He said if you place a buy for the 25-54 demo, thats all you get. "With radio, if you place a buy in the 25-54 demo, you get all of that and the bonus weight of outside demos." Field was making the argument that when you buy radio, you get more. And he said radio is the single greatest way for consumers to discover music -- another zing at Pandora, which has claimed radio has dropped the ball on discovery.
Field then went back to his pro-radio presentation: "We entertain and inform. We deliver news and information. We set the mood for you. Radio is a community lifeline. Listeners are attached to their radio stations. The future of radio is bright. The opportunity is great. Listenership is growing. Radio continues to innovate at a rapid pace. Radio is playing offense in a bigger way than it ever has before. We are living in the golden age of radio, and our best days lie ahead."
Those of us with a little gray know the truth: Pandora is Muzak with lyrics. It is lifeless, devoid of companionship, devoid of a local pulse of any kind... and as any doctor will tell you; even a weak pulse is better than no pulse.
|- Jim Morales
Local is a lie! Even in "the most beautiful small town in America" the AM station & FM translator are 66% owned by out of town interest and the on-air staff is unprofessional. News is ripped off the internet or local newspapers' website. Commercials have no creativity, just " we're the best, come buy from us..." But then again the "local newspaper" is Landmark and it takes millions of dollars out of the community with its cozy little monopoly of cable add insertions, that takes 80% away...
|- Mark 3:26
we in radio have nothing to fear from audio/music players. As was stated in earlier comments...reel to reel, 8 track, cassette, CD, thumb drive, ipod, smart phone - music/audio players have always been here...radio is not just a music/audio player. radio is an experience. the radio industry has never stated that everyone is listening...just those individuals (large number) that love what radio does for them. its how the experience is delivered and recieved that is changing.
|- smiller
As a retired commercial and public radio guy I have to respond. Watching the transitions in radio has been sad. Quit worrying about the station I listen to (Pandora) every night when I go to bed, and start working on making real radio work at the local level. Thank the big guys for ruining it and send them on their way. Go back to local relationships and a real sense of understanding your audience. Make it relevent and pay good people who care about good local presentation in content.
|- Stephen
Radio is alive and thriving in small market America where the majority of statons are local and are the lifeline to the community. Pandora is not RADIO. Our industry needs to not give them the name. They are an Internet streaming music service and that is how they should be referred to.

Welcome to IMF.
This is awesome. Great selection guys. Looking forward. Welcome
Provibol is in stock now. Very limited amount. Induject and Testobolin were restocked as well. Alphabolin 10ml vials are coming later this week. Its best primo money can buy these days. and with Alpha Pharma you`re 100% sure you get what you`ve paid for. Otherwise it could be NPP or even test prop instead of the primo.
Id like to try ds but im not too crazy about the 1ml bottles
I don't use amps normally, but I LOVE that 'PWOP' sound when you snap them open!
Exactly ....The only 10cc vials were Steris ..Everything else were amps . Ahhh the good ole' days when Almost everything was real and pharma HG
I know it usually means nothing when asking the sponsor/rep about a product but I will do it anyway... Im tired of wasting money on fake bunk products and wasting my workouts in the process....... Ive used real legit VAR (once) and TBOL (many times) in the past and I know what to expect when its real... what are your honest thoughts on Pharmacom Var and Tbol ... and even Vermodje??????????
I'm sure others here have used Pharmacom and Vermodje. If you go to Russian boards these brands are all they talk about and use.

Their performance can be viewed in many ways: -They listen to me patiently and answer my questions on my level of understanding. -They are thorough in their mechanical examination(s) and advice. - Their director has a BS degree in mechanical engineering; his knowledge is outstanding and he works with other employees to form an excellent team. - Each mechanic who has worked on my car has proved to me that the purpose of their knowledge and repair is to provide me with an excellent car. - All employees greet everyone with a smile, kindness, information, and assistance. - I advise them to others!
I was told I needed a serpentine belt and Oxygen sensor, when I reminded the service man I had those repairs done on 12/2/11 and this was 12/12/12, tried to convince me they only lasted a year, Made no sense, I have had the car for 160,000 miles, replaced both once and now they only last a year? Left, went straight to Ford Dealer and no, I did not need those repairs and 3000 miles later, still do not need either one and my car runs great and gets good gas mileage. Makes me question all the work I have had completed by them in the past. Would never refer anyone to them. They truly tried to get an additional $1000.00 from me, had I not remembered the repairs, he knew they had been done a year earlier, I would have believed him. Thank you
AAA told me I needed tie rod ends. I took my car to another repair shop that I trust and who told me I needed ball joints, not tie rod ends. The cost was much less. Another time they correctly diagnosed a replacement of wheel bearings. The price quoted was much higher than what I actually paid for the repair at another facility.

Firaaq - Movie PreviewTue, Feb 24, 2009 17:00 IST
Actress Nandita Das makes her directorial debut with a film that aims to hold mirror to today's society.
Titled Firaaq , the film stars a host of talented stars including Naseeruddin Shah , Shahana Goswami , Sanjay Suri , Tisca Chopra , Deepti Naval and Paresh Rawal .
'Firaaq' is an Urdu word that means both separation and quest. The film is a work of fiction, based on a thousand stories.
The story is set over a 24-hour period, one month after a campaign that took place in Gujarat, India, in 2002. It traces the emotional journey of ordinary people - some who were victims, some perpetrators and some who chose to watch silently. As an ensemble film, it follows multiple narratives that are at some times interconnected and at times discreet, yet all are united by their spatial and emotional context.
A middle-class housewife closes the door on a woman desperately seeking refuge, and then struggles to overcome her guilt. The loyalty of two best friends is challenged in times rife with fear and suspicion. A group of victimized young men seek revenge as a way out of their helplessness and anger.
A modern day Hindu-Muslim couple struggle between the survival instinct to hide their true identities and the desire to assert them. A boy having lost most of his family in the riots wanders through the streets searching for his missing father. A saintly musician clings on to his idealism until an evidence of civil strife shakes his faith.
Through these characters we trace the ways in which violence impacts both inner and outer lives. Violence spares nobody. Yet in the midst of this madness, some find it in their hearts to sing hopeful songs for better times.
The film's story and screenplay is written by Nandita Das and Shuchi Kothari. Cinematography is by Ravi K Chandran, editing is by Sreekar Prasad, while music is by Rajat Dholakia and Piyush Kanojia.
The film is set for release on March 20.

Minnesota Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman said Saturday, Oct. 6, that he will not make cuts before the team's first exhibition game, Wednesday against Indiana in Fargo, N.D.
All 20 players on the training camp roster will make the trip to Fargo.
"We'll see how things go the next few days, then figure it out after the game," Adelman said of potential roster moves.
The Timberwolves invited six free agents to training camp for tryouts -- guards Will Conroy (University of Washington), Seth Tarver (Oregon State) and Jermaine Taylor (Central Florida), center Chris Johnson (LSU) and forwards Mike Harris (Rice) and Phil Jones (North Carolina-Charlotte).

By Megan Graham-Hackett PalmOne (PLMO
; 3 STARS, or hold; recent price: $29) reported fourth-quarter (ended May 31) earnings per share of 32 cents, vs. a 28-cent loss a year ago (both on a non-GAAP basis), and substantially beat S&P and Wall Street estimates. The upside came partly from higher revenue than the company had projected ($267 million, vs. management's guidance of $255 million). PalmOne said its new handhelds helped it gain share in a declining market, and its Treo smart phone continued to witness strong demand.
PalmOne says based on industry data, it holds about 60% of the U.S. market and 40% of the worldwide market in handhelds. A better-than-expected gross margin of 30.5% (more than 100 basis points above our forecast) and lower expenses provided the bulk of the upside in earnings, in our estimation.
One of the more important aspects of PalmOne's earnings conference call, in our opinion, was the revised guidance. Management expects fiscal-year 2005 revenues to be in the range of $1.21 billion to $1.29 billion, up $158 million from its prior guidance. We think the most compelling pieces of this are the growth seen for the Treo smart phone and the company's improved ability to meet demand (PalmOne had been constrained by lack of supply).
SOLID SEASON. Indeed, PalmOne expects Treo shipments to reach 250,000 units in its fiscal first quarter (ending Aug. 31), up from 151,000 in the quarter ended May 31, and it sees sequential growth in units in every quarter of fiscal year 2005.
PalmOne had many other positives, in our view, including accelerating cash flow in the fourth quarter and guidance for net margins to reach 6.5% to 7.5% (non-GAAP) for fiscal 2005, vs. previous guidance of 2% to 5%.
Based on the new guidance, we raised our fiscal 2005 EPS estimate to $1.31, from 59 cents. However, we kept our hold opinion on the shares. We believe the stock price advanced sharply after the quarterly report, not only because of the upside surprise and positive guidance but because the May quarter, which includes the "Dads & Grads" season, had typically been a tough one in terms of management execution in the past. We think the fact that PalmOne beat estimates for the quarter and lifted guidance led to a relief rally in the shares, as investors felt the outfit turned the corner in profitability and came to believe a history of inconsistent execution was behind the company.
PRESSURE POINTS. However, we believe competition looms large in the handheld and smart-phone markets, and that considerable risk exists in our investment opinion, earnings projections, and the valuation of the shares, as significant challenges remain. As we noted above, the handheld market -- which accounted for 72% of PalmOne's revenues in the fourth quarter and is expected to reach about 50% of total sales by the end of fiscal 2005, according to the company -- is declining.
PalmOne is betting that growth will come as it continues to innovate in its handheld product line and attract new users. This puts significant pressure on PalmOne to produce the right device at the right time and execute well in product transitions (see BW Online, 6/22/04, "For the Palms, a Firmer Grip?").
Furthermore, we think the Treo faces stiff competition from products such the phone-enabled BlackBerry from Research in Motion (RIMM
At a price-to-sales ratio of 1.6 times, PalmOne shares trade at the high end of the range of its peers. As mentioned above, looming competition presents considerable risks, in our opinion, and we advise investors to hold, but not add to, positions at these levels.

By Talia Kaplan
St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - If you have trouble losing weight, some turn to prescription weight loss drugs.
"I took Fastin in 1982, and 20 years later I took Phen-Fen," said Brenda Lankutis of Litchfield, Illinois.
Lankutis has struggled with her weight since the birth of her first child and at one point weighed nearly 300 pounds. She's tried every diet in the book and even weight loss drugs.
"I just felt awful... I noticed that I had lost the weight fairly quickly but then I didn't lose anymore," said Lankutis, who lost twenty pounds on the drugs.
Brett Williams, pharmacist and owner of Williams Pharmacy, said there are about two weight loss drugs available. Phentermine, also known as Fastin is still on the market, but Phen-Fen was pulled off the shelves in 1997 because of dangerous side effects.
Williams said there are many side effects associated with the drugs still out there.
"Stimulation, inability to sleep, nausea can be a problem also, change in libido is a big problem with these medications," said Williams.
"I would say don't do it because it's just going to cause problems, physically, mentally, emotionally," said Lankutis.
Pharmacists also say try to stay away from weight loss drugs if possible and try fiber pills instead. They say fiber tablets along with diet and exercise always prove best.
"The best thing people can do is find something that curbs appetite. I am a big fan of the fiber tablets. If someone had to have a prescription product they just couldn't get over that hump Phentermine for very short term would probably be acceptable depending on what your physician recommendations are," said Williams.
"The ones that are currently on the market I think have been shown to be effective for modest degrees of weight loss especially in the short term, not really great long term for people who have to lose significant amounts of weight," said Dr. Chris Eagon with Washington University.
Lankutis saw Dr. Chris Eagon, who performed gastric bypass surgery on her 18 months ago. She's already lost 100 pounds and says she learned a valuable lesson from her whole experience.
"I have to not expect something to quickly fix me. Chemicals are not going to fix you. You have to work on the inside of you and put good things in your body not bad things," said Lankutis.

For those of you who didn't catch "Snow White and the Huntsman" in theaters, Sanders tapped his 33-year-old wife to play Snow White's mother, and Liberty has talked proudly of his work on the film.
But this week, she allegedly posted, then deleted, a photo of the Disney version of Snow White with the caption "Not so pretty or so pure after all."
Sure, it could mean anything, as could messages from her just-deactivated Twitter account. Among Ross' recent retweets was this quote from Marilyn Monroe: "Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
Before deleting her account, she began following Us Weekly and offered up the one-word message "WOW."
That was probably the same reaction various production company marketing departments had when news of the liaison broke, especially for the team behind the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" promotional campaign, which is shaping up to be monstrously awkward.
But as we wonder whether Taylor Lautner will be used as a photo op buffer in the coming months, the state of Rob and Kristen's relationship remains a question mark. Click on for more …

SPRINGDALE, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long
says the school was approached recently about joining the Big 12.
Long told The Associated Press the Razorbacks are content to
remain in the Southeastern Conference.
That information comes in the wake of the SEC's announcement on
Wednesday that it will accept Texas A&M as the league's 13th
member, if the school can exit the Big 12 without any pending legal
Long says the SEC is prepared to move forward with 13 teams
should Texas A&M join the conference. He also expected the Big 12
to approach Arkansas about joining and added that the discussions
didn't go very far when the call was made.
"That it happened, it didn't surprise me," Long said. "But we
are committed to the SEC. It's the strongest conference in the
country and only going to get stronger."

My L7590 is networked by ethernet cable. Recently, after downloading Windows Update I tried to print, but my printer was no longer on my system. Following the HP support page, I reinstalled the printer from the web-site, I could not use my disk as I have upgraded my PC to Windows 7 and am unable to read the disk (I have tried both XP and Vista).
I thought it was OK until I tried to use the scanner, I got a warning saying that "A required software component was not found or was improperly installed. Reinstall the HP Photosmart software that came with the device and try scanning again"
I have tried to do this three times, uninstalling and reinstalling from the download, but with the same results. Can anyone please help???

While some writers mine familiar titles to draw audiences to the theater, one of the things director Jef Hall-Flavin liked best about "The Trials of Gertrude Moody" is that it wasn't a television show or film. Or would likely ever be.
Live theater offers certain advantages, including "the ability to transform things before our eyes in the same room as the audience," he says. Many young playwrights today write scripts that could easily be done on TV, and "don't know how to explore the gifts of theater, but Kim Burke does. This (play) can only be done in the theater."
While Hall-Flavin didn't want to give away too much of how the story is staged, but what happens revolves around a parrot, who is the title character.. A 400-year-old parrot. Who becomes a fashion designer.
The press-release description of this world premiere opening the 30th anniversary season at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater: "Trudy Moody is the last of her kind. An orphaned parrot, raised and imprinted by humans, Trudy overcomes 400 years of hardship across three continents to become an international fashion icon."
Hall-Flavin got to know playwright Burke in 2006 at the Playwright's Center in Minneapolis. He directed another one of her plays and asked if she had anything else. "Gertrude Moody" was the answer. He kept the play as an option since 2006, and had pitched it elsewhere, but it was WHAT — known for its adventurous show choices — where staff loved it as much as he did and wanted to kick off its big anniversary with this kind of play.
If you know WHAT, you won't be expecting a feathered costume to make "Gertrude Moody" work. Hall-Flavin notes that Shakespeare simply says there's a horse on stage "and you go there." Here, an actor says he "was born a flightless parrot 400 years ago" and the audience is asked to accept that and move on.
The play "has a once-upon-a-time quality," Hall-Flavin says. "That said, there are sock puppets and shadow plays ... and all kinds of devices to entertain the audience." Three actors (WHAT veteran Laura Latreille and newcomers Bethany Caputo and John Long) play multiple roles and the story is told simultaneously in present and past.
And amid all the theatricality, the script has something to say. Hall-Flavin says he has also championed "Gertrude Moody" because the comedy "effortlessly comments on societal ills without you knowing it." Because the play is funny, audiences might not recognize all it has to say until they get home and think about it.
Topics raised include gender norms, cultural boundaries, creation, human trafficking, physical beauty, patriarchal privilege, feminine identity, marriage, what it means to be human, and a person's place in the world, according to Hall-Flavin and information from WHAT.
"The device of having a parrot makes you look at (the topics) in a new way," the director says.
The play also met another criteria for wanting to stage it, which was crucial. "It's kick-ass funny," Hall-Flavin says. "And if you can't have a good time at the theater, then why go?"
Also coming up this season at WHAT: June 27-July 19, "I Am a Camera," the basis for the musical "Cabaret" that's connected to a Julie Harris tribute; July 24-Aug. 23, a social comedy with music called "The Fabulous Lipitones," by John Markus (who's also directing) and Mark St. Germain about an a cappella singing group; and Aug. 28-Sept. 21, "Period of Adjustment," a collaboration with the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival (for which Hall-Flavin is executive director).
The Chatham Drama Guild at 134 Crowell Road will host its first-ever Open Mike Night at 8 p.m. Saturday, with a cash bar and snacks available. Suggested donation is $10. To register to perform or for information: Scott Hamilton at 508-945-1943 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Director Marti Baker describes "Play On!" as "kind of a 'Noises Off,' American-style."
For fans of that frantic British backstage comedy (just terrifically performed this winter in a joint Cape Cod Community College-Cotuit Center for the Arts production), that shorthand may be all they need to know to get the idea of comedy mined from what can go wrong when people try to put on a play.
In this story, the problem is the playwright. A struggling community theater group is trying to put on a whodunit called "Murder Most Foul," but the writer — who thinks she's much better than she actually is — keeps revising the script and getting in the way.
Act 1 is a rehearsal of the show, Act 2 is the "near-disastrous" dress rehearsal, then the final act is the actual first performance — when much continues to go wrong.
"I really felt, if you're going to do a comedy, you need to do something people can relate to," Baker says. "I think a lot of people don't know some of the things that can happen when you're doing a show," while for the actors involved, the crises can be all too familiar.
"Play On!" was written in 1980 by Rick Abbot — which is, interestingly enough, a pseudonym. The playwright's real name is Jack Sharkey, and it was only after choosing this play and starting to work on it that Baker realized she knew, and had enjoyed, some of the writer's other work.
The prolific Sharkey wrote science fiction stories and novels, humor articles, and mystery novels, plus, from 1965 to his death in 1992, 82 published plays written under his own name and four others — Abbot, Monk Ferris, Mark Chandler and Mike Johnson, according to the doollee.com playwrights database.
Baker's cast includes some familiar BCC faces — including Ann M. Ring, Marcus Liuzzi, Rob Thorne and Jody Carman. Jessica Anne McDowell was lighting designer for BCC's March play ("Goodnight Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet"), but now steps on stage. Two BCC newcomers from Plymouth are in the cast — Bob Lively and April Womble, playing an actor and stage manager, respectively — and Keely Sorensen, whose daughter Kati starred in "Desdemona," plays the inept but haughty playwright.
"Play On!" will be presented at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays through June 8. Tickets are $18, $16 students and seniors. Reservations: 508-362-6333.

Charting Glucose
Blood sugar (glucose) is a substance in the blood that helps transport energy throughout the body. Diabetes results when blood sugar levels are too high. This is often referred to as hyperglycemia. Checking your blood sugar on a regular basis is crucial to diabetes management, including before and after meals. It can be difficult to catch patterns in sugar fluctuations if you don't keep track of your levels. A blood sugar levels chart can help you keep track and lead to more effective diabetes management. It's also important to discuss charting options with your doctor.
Tracking and Charting Glucose Levels
Checking your blood sugar is just one step in glucose management. You should also track and record your readings multiple times a day on a regular basis. In this sense, you can produce your own health records that can complement tests performed by your doctor.
Consistency is the key when charting glucose levels. Aside from meals, it's also helpful to make note of other factors that may affect your blood sugar. There are other considerations that can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels besides food and medicine. Factors that affect levels may include:
- changes in activity levels
- weather changes
- minor illnesses
- infections
- taking medicine at different times than you're used to
- dirty meters
Blood Sugar Levels Chart
You can use the blood sugar chart below to track your blood glucose levels. Download the chart as a Microsoft Word document, or right-click the image to save or print it.
Ideal Results
Ideal blood sugar levels can vary, especially if you are pregnant or have any underlying health conditions. Call your doctor if you're unsure of what your levels should be. The American Diabetes Association recommends the following target ranges for most adults:
- between 70 and 130 mg/dl before meals
- below 180 mg/dl within two hours after eating
- general reading of A1C at 7 percent
- fasting reading of eAG at 154 mg/dl
The American Diabetes Association has an online calculator that can help you convert A1C to eAG (and vice versa).
Anything above 180 mg/dl is considered dangerously high. Levels that fall below 50 mg/dl are dangerously low. According to the Mayo Clinic, a normal fasting reading in an adult without diabetes is between 70 and 100 mg/dl. Your target levels might be higher if you have hypoglycemic unawareness. This means that you are prone to low blood sugar but don't notice any warning symptoms.
The purpose of measuring blood glucose is to help prevent hypo- and hyperglycemia. Glucose readings can also help you determine if you need medicine or not, especially if you're not taking insulin on a regular basis. If your levels are consistently low or high, you should discuss changing treatment plans with your doctor right away.
Finding the Best Solution for You
A handwritten chart is just one of the effective ways you can track your blood sugar levels. You can store the chart on your computer or tablet and type in the results as they come up. Other charts are available in the form of mobile apps.
Skipping readings can derail the benefits of the chart. It's a good idea to set alarms for when you need to check your blood sugar, especially if you don't always measure glucose before and after meals.
Just as diabetes treatment continues to evolve, there are numerous options to help patients keep tabs on their health. A blood sugar levels chart is an invaluable resource to ensure your diabetes care needs are adequately met.

Cell Phone Ban in Schools
Would You Support a Cell Phone Ban at Your School?
Nearly two years ago, much to the dismay of students, parents and public pleas, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg banned cell phones in Manhattan schools.
Since texting, videos, instant messages, cameras and music are all accessible at the touch of a button, I can see why schools would want to prohibit the distractions.
On the other hand, many parents argue that they need to have a lifeline to their children in case of emergencies like 9/11 or school shootings, which are scary realities in our world today.
Would you agree with a cell phone ban in your tot's school?

Does anyone notice any other junior drilling in the Cortez/Goldrush area reporting grades in grams per ton over tens of meters?
While not grand slams, these new drill-hole results are solid "hits" IMO because they show an expanding profile to this new Cortez Trend golden pachyderm that NUG has flushed from the subsurface. My view was... if NUG hit intervals that compared to those in CMZ Hole #6 then that was a "homerun" for me as a shareholder, I think this was accomplished.
The BIG plus for NUG in this area (Cortez Trend) is that the NUG target litholgies and structures are not buried and blind under 200-1000 feet of cover.
Surface geochem has revealed targets in the CMZ, this would be impossible if the lower-plate target carbonates were buried under younger gravel or unmineralized volcanic beds.
The Northern Nevada Rift (NNR), volcanic host for the Buckhorn Mine just to the north, cuts the CMZ of NUG's property. The upper mineralized intercept in NUG CMZ drilling is in VOLCANIC rock. The ground to the east and west of the NNR on NUG ground is the Wenban Formation from my observations, this is the host formation for the Goldrush elephant that Barrick is expanding.
Taken together NUG has a home run IMO with these drill assays, the pachyderm's profile is getting bigger.
Not Investment Advice. DYODD I am a shareholder of NUG and other juniors drilling in the Goldrush area; CGD, RPM.

On March 9, some 1,500 people attended the American Diabetes Association's 11th annual Kiss a Pig Gala at the John Q. Hammons Center in Rogers, Ark.
Inside This Issue - Opinion
Convened to raise money for the fight against diabetes, the gala brought out many of the prominent citizens of northwest Arkansas — not incidentally, the home of Walmart — both to support the ADA's efforts and to help determine who would end the evening by kissing a pig.
Eleven honorees vied for that somewhat dubious honor, which would be bestowed on the two individuals who succeeded in raising the most money to fight diabetes. Those honored included a senior Walmart vice president along with a vice president from that retailer's Sam's Club unit, which appeared to give America's largest retailer a leg up on the competition. The other honorees included several locally based business executives, some of whom work for supplier companies that serve Walmart, Sam's or both.
Then there was Chuck Fehlig. Once a senior merchant at Walmart, Fehlig is now a principal in Blue Ocean Innovative Solutions, a highly regarded Bentonville-based consulting company.
Though Walmart was the main attraction for many who attended the Kiss a Pig Gala, it was Fehlig who, more than any other honoree, brought out the crowd. Many attendees retained fond memories of the former Walmart divisional merchandise manager, where he was known and respected for his knowledge, integrity and commitment to work with suppliers. Other attendees have come to know him in his newer career as an owner, along with Bob Dufour and Bruce Painter, of Blue Ocean, a consulting company that has, in a relatively short time, made a name for itself in the packaged goods and retail consulting businesses.
But back to the Kiss a Pig event. As background, the pig is a symbolic animal for diabetes sufferers. Some 90 years ago scientists discovered that the pig's pancreas could be used to make insulin, a discovery that would lead to many innovations in the treatment of diabetes. So it was that many leading citizens in northwest Arkansas turned out to watch a group of adults compete for the chance to kiss a pig.
The competition for the honor of kissing a pig was intense. Many of the leading companies in the neighborhood donated items for a silent auction. Others contributed items for a live auction. All items were donated on behalf of one of the honorees. In all, more than 125 companies supplied objects or events to be bid on.
The evening was punctuated by a handful of speeches, a 45-minute turn by the rock group REO Speedwagon and a presentation by the evening's honorary chair, Charles Redfield, chief merchandising officer at Sam's Club. And, of course, there was the requisite dinner, dancing — and noise.
But the evening's focus was squarely on the kiss-a-pig competition. And as the evening wound down expectation levels rose dramatically. Would Walmart command the leverage to carry the evening? Would Chuck Fehlig's popularity win the day? Would another of the honorees — the candidate from Arvest Bank or Clorox Co., a second banker, a financial advisor or perhaps one of two local physicians in the competition — walk off with the prize?
In the end, Walmart's leverage couldn't quite carry the day. Rather, the opportunity to kiss a pig went to the individual whose popularity and personal appeal dwarfed those of the other honorees — a candidate whose friends and admirers had traveled to Rogers from both coasts just to express their affection for him, their respect for his business acumen and their appreciation for the ethical way in which he has always conducted himself and his business.
So it was that, at evening's end, Chuck Fehlig kissed the pig.

The freedom to work hard and become wealthy has long been part of America's unique character. No other nation offers the ability for any man, regardless of his station in life, to rise to the level held only by aristocracy or royalty throughout much of the rest of the world. Capitalism and the free market are a fundamental part of the American experience.
This is the true definition of equality: all men start on equal footing, born into freedom and use that freedom to make their mark on the world. Turning a profit, earning money, amassing wealth are all evidence that an American is taking advantage of his or her birthright. But as freedom has diminished in the shadow of a growing nanny state, the old hallmarks of capitalism and economic prosperity have become a threat to government monopoly.
Backing up his assertion to 60 Minutes last month that "I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street," President Obama announced this week that he wants a "financial crisis responsibility fee" on all banks in order to recoup the government's TARP bailout funds. But the tax—forget the euphemistic "fee" label—will be levied on all banks with assets over $50 billion—even those that never received any taxpayer dollars or have paid back the government for their bailout.
The President pounced on Wall Street's million-dollar bonuses to justify his new tax, hoping to incite the class warfare anger that has propelled the Democrat Party to more than its share of political victories. But as Yale Law School professor Jonathan Macey pointed out in the Wall Street Journal this week, such transparent political attacks don't withstand the fact that bonuses are considered a commission earned based on successful performance, not a fat cat payoff. Capitalism won't reward failure or the inability to turn a profit.
Politicians have long used the tactic of class warfare in appealing to certain voting segments. Democrats have staked their entire existence on pitting blue collar against white collar. Presidential candidate John Edwards was the most recent and blatant demagogue to capitalize on this tactic with his famous "two Americas" stump speech.
Fundamentally, class warfare is merely the means to achieve redistribution of wealth at the government's direction. Such government redistribution is certainly part of President Obama's agenda, as he explained to "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher on the campaign trail in 2008: "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

The latest post on this topic suggested that the Airport Bus may cost as much as 150 baht now. That's not cheap, so you might just as well take a taxi if you are travelling by yourself. Depending on the time of day, it will probably take an hour or maybe even two if there is traffic to get to where you are going.
The main train station is called Hua Lamphong, and it is more or less in town, depending on where you will be staying. The subway connects to the train station, and you can get a ride on the subway for 20 to 30 baht. The subway also connects to the skytrain, which costs between 20 and 40 baht for most destinations. However, the subway and skytrain do not go to the Khao San Road area, so if you have any luggage or a pack, you'd probably be best off just taking a taxi anyway. Just make sure they use the meter and you'll be fine, since taxis are not expensive in Bangkok. I hope that helps. Regards.
