First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.


text: Fell in love with the Zacapa products after picking up a bottle of it at Duty Free in Saint Martin. I toyed with the XO, but only got the 23 at the time. XO completely embodies premium rum from scent to after taste. Finally, I purchased a large volume of this product. It's completely smooth, less of the hints of honey and vanilla that you can pickup in the 23. The packaging is regal and the product is incredible. It's superior to Cruzan Single Barrel Estate and the smokey & amazing Havana Club Cuban Barrel Proof Rum which is not available in the US. The question shouldn't be whether to buy it, the question should be how much of it to buy!

U.S. High School Graduation Rates at All Time High
The U.S. high school graduation rate is at a record high, dropout rates are down, and 1.1 million additional black and Hispanic students are attending college since 2008.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the nation's high school graduation rate reached 82 percent in 2013-14, which is the highest rate since states adopted a uniform way of calculating rates five years ago. Prior to this, comparisons between states were often unreliable. The Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR) is more accurate and helps states target support to ensure students graduate on time and are college and career ready.
Outpacing the growth for all students, the graduation rates for American Indian, black, and Hispanic students increased by four-to-five percentage points between 2010-11 and 2013-14, demonstrating progress on closing the gap between minority and white students. To review the ACGR data, click here. To review achievement gap changes, click here.

The face and hair look georgous.
Nice fix . Much better than previous version . Cool colour scheme
Nice !
uggghhhh i LOATHE miranda... but this is just GORGEOUS! despite my intense hatred for her, i still ADORE this piece!!
Haha, now that's a compliment!
Why such hate for the lovely miss lawson?
I just really, really dislike the personality her writers gave her. She's very pretty, but that doesn't mean much if you've got a nasty personality. :/ They could've made her more pleasant... or at least tried to make her less self centered... I dunno, maybe it's just me... She just really rubs me the wrong way.

CASUAL MOVIE FANS will be forgiven for not remembering the name Lindsay Anderson. His body of work has largely been forgotten in the four and a half decades since he first burst onto the scene, and he was never terribly prolific anyway, leaving only six features to his name. Overshadowed by his contemporaries leading the French New Wave, Anderson was the head of his own little group in Great Britain, an oft-ignored and hard to classify cadre of filmmakers dedicated to the same ideas Godard, Truffaut, and the rest in France expounded: an emulation of the Hollywood style; a rejection of the boring domestic product; and a reinvention of the language of cinema. Though Anderson is not as well known as British giants like Hitchcock and Ridley Scott, he probably warrants inclusion in that pantheon.
Now's the perfect time to get reacquainted with Anderson, as half of his library has hit DVD shelves in recent months. As usual, the Criterion Collection leads the way, giving Anderson's first two films (This Sporting Life hit shelves this week, hot on the tail of If....) the royal treatment. Warner Bros. has also gotten into the act, releasing a two disc set of O Lucky Man!, Anderson's third flick. All three have been out of print for some time, and all three are worth adding to any cinephile's collection.
A child of the British empire--born in India, son of a prominent general, a product of boarding schools and Oxford University--Anderson both loved and hated his home country. Described in a BBC documentary (available on the supplemental disc of This Sporting Life) by a friend as "a rebel with great respect for convention," Anderson turned the camera on Britain; no societal stratum was safe from its unblinking eye. The antihero of This Sporting Life is star rugby player Frank Machin (Richard Harris), an emotionally tormented member of the underclass thrown into uncomfortably close contact with the upper crust when success brings him fame and fortune. Unsure of how to behave and unsure of his own worth, Machin does know one thing: He needs to be with his landlady, Margaret (Rachel Roberts), a woman who despises him. Machin's rise is shown in a series of flashbacks after a particularly brutal hit on the rugby pitch that costs him six front teeth, and his downfall is painful to observe--the character calls to mind Raging Bull's Jake LaMotta, a bundle of passion and nerves that feels more animal than man. Indeed, Scorsese's classic owes a great deal to Anderson's work: From the magnificent black and white cinematography to the intense and bloody on-field action, it's hard to imagine Raging Bull ever being made absent This Sporting Life.
Anderson next turned his attention to Britain's boarding schools in If...., considered by most to be his masterpiece. Both hailed and vilified at the time--it picked up top honors at Cannes, but the British establishment loathed Anderson's attack on the time honored tradition of shipping children as far away from their parents as possible--If.... remains one of the most vibrant examinations of life in England during the late sixties. Though Anderson has said that the film merely represents his own anarchic tendencies and not the chaos spreading around the globe in 1968-69--including student riots in France, political unrest in the United States, and the brutal suppression of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union--it's hard to ignore just how well the film captures the scent of revolution wafting through the air.
Set in a prestigious private school, the viewer experiences life through the eyes of Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell, in his first role). Subject to various depredations by vicious upperclassmen intent on breaking his (and every other student's) will, Travis bends all the rules; in one memorable scene, he and a classmate skip a rugby match, steal a motorcycle, and make love to a mysterious waitress on the outskirts of town. And, of course, there is the finale--a fantasy sequence that calls to mind the Columbine and Virginia Tech massacres, in which Travis and his cohorts gun down their oppressors from the roof of a school building. Shot in an arresting mix of color and black and white, and alternating between fantasy and real life, If.... is both accessible and fascinating, a window into a turbulent time.
Finally, O Lucky Man!. A sprawling three hour epic that takes its lead character, a reimagined Mick Travis (McDowell again) up and down England, O Lucky Man! is a darkly humorous vision of authority (and capitalism) run amok. A little looser than his previous works, O Lucky Man! unloads with both barrels on every part of British society; from the underlings that inhabited This Sporting Life to the preening prepsters of If...., no one is safe. As far as extra features go, the Criterion discs are packed to the gills (and they should be, as they retail for $40 apiece). This Sporting Life is especially impressive; in addition to the requisite commentary track, the supplementary disc includes Anderson's first documentary, Meet the Pioneers, and his last film, Is This All There Is?, an autobiographical picture he made shortly before his death in 1994. If.... is a little sparser, but the documentaries and interviews provide important insight into just how crazy the world had gotten by the end of the sixties. Both films have startlingly clear transfers, another hallmark of Criterion quality. And while I haven't put my hands on a copy of O Lucky Man! yet, I'm really looking forward to watching the documentary O Lucky Malcolm!, a retrospective of Malcolm McDowell's career.

Prairie Schooner
Volume 87, Number 4, Winter 2013
pp. 52-55 | 10.1353/psg.2013.0167
Yei, South Sudan
O, Sariputra
Form is Empty, Emptiness is Form
Tucked inside the mosquito net's
gauzy bubble, taut white fabric
rounded over her cot like a bridal dome,
she turns out her headlamp
so they can't see her silhouette.
Outside, soldiers drink hard at the bar,
a six-foot waitress shuffles by in flip-flops
shooing away flies scurrying
in and out of the mouths
of bottles of Blue Nile.
From her room, she can hear Amin,
all fire and brimstone from the throne
of his broken, plastic chair.
Unzipping herself from her stuffy bridal chamber,
she peers out from behind the vinyl curtains of her cell.
Despite the Blue Niles slugging through his veins
he still looks stunned, hijacked with adrenalin
busted red capillaries.
It starts to thunder,
already whole chunks of road
gape open, another well-meaning aid project will
swell, loosen,
come apart at the seams.
She thinks of Taban, their tiny night guard
who slept in their closet with the rats
amidst the frayed electrical cords,
leaky roof, bow and arrow at the ready,
the one who robbed them
and now sits in a dank Yei prison.
She thinks of her university back home, the academics
pecking rabidly at their laptops
with their ten million eyes
and finicky tentacles,
scoffing at her naïveté,
her insistent groping
inside the emptiness of a post-modern world.
She wants to lie down,
let their bony beaks have their way,
when the Buddha comes
and speaks through her,
slapping something like the heart sutra
down at their feet:
Listen, lest you smug and shirk
at the white girl in a black man's land,
her naïve grand narratives
placed like wedding cakes in this dusty apocalyptic
bowl of war,
lest you smack your lips
and wait for her failure to bloom and gush,
remember this:
your deconstruction, just more puppetry
in an endless play which has no plot,
no end to anyone's meaning, no beginning,
no eye dhatu, no ear dhatu,
no Post, no Modern
no-anthro, no-polo, no-gist
only this planet, with its sweet and terrible songs
that hover like fog in giant capes of hope and doubt,
Lest you get tempted to excuse yourself,
and float high up into the rafters of the void,
remember the wisdom of no escape,
the straddling of everything and nothing,
the way emptiness, sunyata,
must be sat on as if it were a bulging nest
while still speaking of love.
Emptiness whipped into a froth
light as clouds, poured into kindness no less fragile
than a child's meringues
which themselves crumble into dust
at even the slightest touch.
The next morning
inside the net, she tears a power bar from its metallic skin,
heads toward the ngo 's dilapidated office
she calls "the crack house,"
and creeps out into the limping shantytown,
cachectic men sleeping off hunger
as the whine of cicadas moans like a siren,
and the fluorescent sun
bleaches the crap out of the Congo road.
A Nuba boy by the side of the road
looks up from his dopey malarial puddle
as a landmine truck races by. In spite of
the systematic emptying
of anything real in the streets of her mind,
she feels a sharp tenderness pass between them,
a wince of sweetness amidst the void that's emptiness,
the way a salmon pulses upstream
despite the vastness of water,
or a large owl beats quietly, across the night,
from limb to limb
amidst the endless black that isn't endless at all.
Good Night Sweet Prince
and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Gate, gate, paragate, parsamgate, bodhi svaha!
Gone, gone beyond, completely beyond, gone beyond gone!

Respond to Review of Mystic Pizza - Exarchia
by nardanddee
Review: Went here late on a Sunday night. The staff was great in that they informed me that I had to swap out the homemade pasta in my order for spaghetti due to the use of eggs. They also provided an awesome chocolate dessert with cannabis seeds and a biscuit inside. Loved the reggae music!

Retro is in, as demonstrated by the 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T. Although the body remains the same, many improvements have made their way into the 2011 model.
First is the new 305 hp V-6, a bonus of 55 hp from the prior V-6. There is a new horsepower war among the entry level V-6s in the pony car segment. Suspensions have been redesigned, improving both ride and handling with things like negative camber, montube shocks and hydro bushings. And a new electro-hydraulic steering have been added to improve fuel economy and feel.
Externally, the Challenger remains the same with the closest look to the prior generation pony cars of the 1970s. The look is almost an exact replica. And the orange halo driving lights are especially cool. But in reality it is a much larger vehicle based on the C300 chassis and as a result it sports a huge wheelbase of 116 inches (The C300 wheelbase is 120 inches, but the chassis is nearly identical). Consequently the Challenger is a big car stretching out wheesl over 190 inches and it is wide at about 75 inches, nearly weighing 4,000 pounds.
However, any performance losses that you would normally associate that with are totally negated the Challenger R/T's wonderful and legendary 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 that belts out 375 hp along with 410 pounds of twist. It is now connected to a new six-speed Tremec manual transmission that would normally be a delight, but second gear was a little balky sometimes, hampering the 0-60 mph times. Being a press car they sometimes get hammered a bit by carpenters who use a sledgehammer on finishing nails.
Formally only a five-speed manual was offered with the R/T and the automatic is also a five-speeder right out of the C300 again.
The Hemi engine is quite the animal from its raspy, voracious sounds to its prodigious power. Knocking off 0-60 mph took an average of 5.33 seconds even with the hampered second gear shift. Because of the lower gearing, it required an extra shift to third gear to hit 60 mph as the engine is redlined at only 5,800 rpm, which is a lower number than the SRT/8 6.1 Hemi (soon to be a 6.4 Hemi or 392 Cubic inch). If the gearing would have been a bit taller or the redline at 6,300 it would have hit 60 mph in second gear and lowered the 0-60 times to the 5-second flat range or maybe lower. Smoking the tires was no problem and with an engine this powerful, hookup is everything.
Passing performance was also exemplary with a 50-70 mph run taking 2.58 seconds all in third gear and the same run up a steep grade only slowed that time by about half a second to 3.19 seconds.
Variable valve timing is now standard in the 5.7 Hemi as is fuel saver technology, which allows the engine to run on only four of its eight cylinders when power demands are low. However, the technology may have been implicit in the Challenger's ungainly throttle response. Sometimes when hitting the throttle it seemed to lag for a couple of tenths of a second before responding strongly.
But there are benefits to this new technology. After a week of hammering of my own, the Challenger still returned 18 mpg overall and on the highway it returned a solid 27.6 mpg with the cruise control set at 70 mph on a level highway. EPA says the Challenger should return 15/24 city/highway. Who says a muscle car can't deliver reasonable fuel economy.
Handling would have been more sports-car-like with the Super Track PaK, an option I recommend if you are a sporting driver. The Track PaK does add beautiful 20X8-inchweheels, the six-speed manual, better brakes, limited slip differential, pistol grip shifter and some other items. The Super Track Pak adds improved high performance shocks and steering gear, three-mode ESC with full off, Eagle F1 three-season tires and improved brake linings even over the Track Pak.
Notwithstanding, even though the car was not equipped with the track Pak, it performed admirably in the braking tests, stopping from 40 mph in just 39.5 feet.
But even without the basic Track Pak, handling was good, considering the size of the car and its intended use as being a "sports car." There was some body roll and some understeer when pushed hard in the corners. Not a deficiency whatsoever, but just not as flat as an SRT/8. If you want a more thrilling ride, opt for that Super Track Pak. Tracking was excellent as was off- and on-center feel. Turn-in was crisp.
Ride quality was excellent for this type of vehicle. It was firm, but there was no kickback through the steering and it was extremely smooth on the super slab, loafing along at 2,000 rpm at 70 mph. It was quiet until you put your foot in it and then it became very aggressive and raspy with that wonderful V-8 sound that is required for such a car.
Safety included great brakes plus all the acronyms such as ESC, ABS, EBD, BA and all the other alphabet soups that come with vehicles these days. Of course there are at least six airbags.
Inside is a large interior with spacious seats that perhaps could use a bit more side bolstering. Sliding in the seats was a bit of a problem because of their size and shape. The rear seats were quite spacious, which says something about having a 116-inch wheelbase. Ingress and egress, of course, was limited by having only two doors. But how many times are you going to carry four passengers. Blind spots were minimal comparatively speaking especially in the "C" pillar. Remember this is not a true hardtop as there is a "B" pillar that is well hidden by the design team. The original Challengers were true hardtops with no "B" pillar.
Instruments were well laid out in the somewhat retro dash. Perhaps there is a little too much plastic, but the quality is excellent. Nice job. The center stack is also easy to use. Special note must be made for the Boston Acoustics speaker system which made some pretty sweet sounds using another acronym, AC/DC.
Challenger also has the largest trunk in the class with over 16 cubic feet, larger than most mid-size sedans. Taking your buddies golfing would be easy. Or if on a long road trip, the Challenger would accommodate your whole closet so our spouse would love it (hint, a great selling point).
Pricing starts at a base price of $30,860 for the R/T which is a lot of car for the money, plus destination charges of $ 725. My tester came with a limited list of options, driving the price to $41,160. Although the white Challenger looks like a blast from the past, it is truly retro and modern, making it a wonderful choice for those who want to have their cake, eat it too and not get fat. There are other colors like famous Hemi orange, Sublime green color and Plum crazy purple that also look great! Another Dodge/Chrysler homerun.

We've reached the end of our semester full of reflections about learning — at times eye opening, at times grueling, always inspiring. Here's my review, influenced by flu symptoms at the finish line:
And So It GoesPosted: December 15, 2012 in Learning About Learning
We've reached the end of our semester full of reflections about learning — at times eye opening, at times grueling, always inspiring. Here's my review, influenced by flu symptoms at the finish line:
Connecting the Dots Back to ConnectivismPosted: December 10, 2012 in Learning About Learning
As I approach the end of my Learning About Learning reflections, with the imminent end of the course that prompted this, it seems fitting that I should find myself looping back to Connectivism — also the closing topic of Reflections of a Moodler two years ago, almost to the day. Even now, significantly more knowledgeable about learning theories and their relationship to connectivism, my views about learning for the digital age have not wavered and are in fact strengthened. I believe even more strongly now what I previously stated that "teaching for the digital age requires guiding students to reveal patterns and draw connections from the cacophony of information they are exposed to with the influx of technology in their every waking moment. It means assuring them that while knowledge is abundant, it is humanly impossible to internalize it all, in preparation for those unexpected critical decision making moments they will no doubt encounter as adults." (I store my knowledge in my friends)
I am also reminded of the terrific little book A New Culture of Learning by Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown, which in a similar way to George Siemens, stresses our obligation as educators to foster the ability in our students to analyze context in order to make sense of their world as well as to create a context, an environment, that builds their passion for learning and cultivates their imagination.
Take the Learning and Run!Posted: December 6, 2012 in Learning About Learning
As I reflected on this week's presentation and readings on the topic of Communities of Practice, I considered how I might apply this information in my own professional development efforts. The article by Dianne Conrad, "From Community to Community of Practice: Exploring the Connection of Online Learners to Informal Learning in the Workplace," seemed particularly relevant. I have discovered, as the article supports, that building community in online environments makes for a richer learning experience. I also appreciate the report that in the workplace these relationships tend to revolve around the work itself and last as long as they are beneficial to the participants. However, it seems that when the institutional objective is to encourage a paradigm shift as a result of a combination of both formal and informal learning situations, building a strong sense of community and fostering those relationships is a key strategy. Otherwise, you risk isolated pockets of change which may only last for a short duration.
Slow TurningPosted: November 20, 2012 in Learning About Learning
It's been a slow turnin'
From the inside out
A slow turnin'
But you come about
— John Hiatt, Slow Turning chorus
In his song Slow Turning John Hiatt hints at his transformation, as revealed in a 1991 interview. Some transformations are indeed a slow turning evolving over long periods of time and some come suddenly with life's unexpected twists and turns, as poignantly shared by a team mate during our group's presentation on Transformational Learning last week. But, it appears all transformations have something to do with seemingly contradictory conditions — an unyielding resoluteness to persevere and an openness to accept change. For transformative learning to occur, the individual must decide to steadfastly embrace change in order to evolve into a different version of him or herself. Otherwise, it is an insincere attempt or as Paulo Freire would say:
It's really not possible for someone to imagine himself/herself as a subject in the process of becoming without having at the same time a disposition for change. And change of which she/he is not merely the victim but the subject. ~ Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Freedom
Been There Done ThatPosted: November 14, 2012 in Learning About Learning
"If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly" — G. K. Chesterton
Experiential learning, perhaps the most basic form of learning, was this past week's Learning Theory topic. We learn by doing and we construct new knowledge based on past experiences. Painfully true, for our eLearning design class team as we fumbled our way through the Articulate software program to the finish where we faced our "interdependence of fate" (Lewin), revealed in a project grade. Team work is not for the faint of heart, if "task interdependence" is required, but it's important to keep the task in perspective. We are after all adults, with busy adult lives. The schoolwork will get done and will soon become that thing you did for that class. The longer you live the more you know. Experiential learning.
A Little Bit of Fear, You Know it Goes a Long WayPosted: November 4, 2012 in Learning About Learning
This week's topic of self-directed learning was intriguing for this life-long independent learner. The bulk of research analyzing the motives of people inclined to learn on their own was indeed fascinating. It never occurred to me that I was doing anything worth researching, as I spent countless hours teaching myself myriad computer applications, anything that life required needed learning at the moment without the financial resources to facilitate the process or the convenience of time, and whatever my curiosity led me to explore further. After all, it's what my father does all the time even now in his late 80's – a practice modeled for this daughter since infancy. I imagine there may be similar circumstances and reasons in the learning journeys for many self-directed learners or "Edupunks" as we are now being called. Though, it's not something we generally talk about with others, even those we recognize to be of like mind.
Somewhere around page 116 of this week's reading in Learning in Adulthood (Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007), concerning "the external context of the learning activity" a line from a John Hiatt song, "Sometime Other Than Now," started playing in my head:
A little bit of fear, you know it goes a long way
It's followed us around since we were little kids
While a lot of fear may be paralyzing, as indicated by Rager's study with cancer patients, I've come to believe that a little bit of fear does go a long way at motivating self-directed learners. Nothing makes the fires burn for learning like fear of failure, fear of not being hired, fear of a never changing future, fear of not fitting in, etc. I wonder if researchers have considered the power of fear other than its paralyzing effects. "A little bit of fear, you know it goes a long way." Something to Google…
Bloomin' ObjectivesPosted: October 26, 2012 in Learning About Learning
This week we have been pushing the boundaries of our "zone of proximal development" (Vygotsky) as we explored Social Constructivism in this course. Yet, in real life, as I design instruction and present the topic of well-written instructional objectives to higher ed faculty, I am continually pulled back to behaviorism — the foundational theory presented early in the semester. It appears, when all is said and done, accountability for performance (dubbed "outcomes-based assessment") weighs heavy on the instructor's mind and the Cognitive Domain of Bloom's Taxonomy is the map we are called to follow. Can learning bloom without Bloom?
I've been reading an awful lot about Transformational/Transformative Learning Theory as my team prepares for our upcoming presentation. I have also experienced transformations first-hand in deep learning situations. Yet, while there were no objectives clearly stated with performance, criteria, and conditions identified, significant cognitive changes did take place. I know because I felt different and saw the world and behaved internally differently as a result. The changes were subtle and indiscernible to those even closest to me, but were in fact life changing and not readily measurable.
This leaves me wondering about the instructor's dilemma particularly in higher ed and instructional design. We stick with Bloom in the now, to document our handy work, but those of us deeply committed to our vocation hope for immeasurable life-long transformation as a result of our instruction.

text: PokeTheory: Arceus, Mew, and The Pokemon World Author's Note: The following is my own speculation based on my research. It is purely speculation, and is only one theory among many. As stated to have been theorized by Kanto-region scientists in their research, Mew is thought to have been the ancestor of all Pokémon. And this seems plausible enough given the evidence: its simple, almost foetus-like, appearance; its ability to transform into any other Pokémon (an ability which would almost certainly require it to have the building blocks of every Pokémon within its DNA, and which I will revisit later in the Mew-Mewtwo-Ditto theory); and its ability to learn all moves in existence. With all of its Pokédex entries from all games compiled together (with some left out due to redundancy), its complete entry is this: "Mew is said to possess the genetic composition of all Pokémon. It is capable of making itself invisible at will, so it enti

The Black Count
Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo (Pulitzer Prize for Biography)
Tom Reiss
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Here is the remarkable true story of the real Count of Monte Cristo – a stunning feat of historical sleuthing that brings to life the forgotten hero who inspired such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers.
The real-life protagonist of The Black Count, General Alex Dumas, is a man almost unknown today yet with a story that is strikingly familiar, because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used it to create some of the best loved heroes of literature.
Yet, hidden behind these swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: the real hero was the son of a black slave -- who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time.
Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas was briefly sold into bondage but made his way to Paris where he was schooled as a sword-fighting member of the French aristocracy. Enlisting as a private, he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution, in an audacious campaign across Europe and the Middle East – until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat.
The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world's first multi-racial society. But it is also a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son.

Fantastic Read
What a great book from Tom Reiss! The story of Gen. Alex Dumas is finally brought to life after being shuttered away for so long and forgotten.
Reiss obviously did so much research not only into Dumas life and circumstances, but to the 18th century society in which Dumas thrived. A life and story such as this shouldn't be forgotten.
Reiss' writing style is very conversational educating the reader as to the beliefs, norms and politics of the day so one has a clear understanding of how and why Dumas life is so enthralling.
Dumas was an 18th century action hero, and a somewhat of an unconventional one. I can't see how this won't be made into a movie! It has everything; a strong leading man, love, betrayal and war. In fact it could be a story written by the General's son, the author Alexandre Dumas.
The black count
In general, a wonderfully readable account of post revolutionary France and its acceptance of racial equality, however temporary. Specifically, a richly detailed account of an honorable and proud man caught up in events that overturn his life with unethical beaurocracy. A carefully researched window into a time period most often romanticized. That his son survived and thrived, using the memories of his father to immortalize him, assuage the family honor, and in addition, make a great name for himself was a coup d'état.
The Black Count by Tom Reiss
One of the best books I have ever read .Brilliantly written , the author weaves together history, biography, and culture and takes what we in the United States call "the civil rights movement " to the international level .
Tom Reiss here exposes the white-wash of their own history by the very people who may be most responsible for the white-washing of African history as it relates to ancient Egypt . The colonial powers from outside of Africa to this day seem to cling to having a vested interest in suppressing what we are forced to call Black History .
Finally this book the reveals the fire of freedom that that once lit ,can spread fiercely across national borders
and racial lines and barriers , that can be co-opted and betrayed and yet still burn in men's hearts .
Should be required reading by any historian.

I'm in a speedboat in my boat shoes
Hah? I swear my whole collection's so cruise
Lyric Meaning
Kanye stresses the importance of having the correct attire for the correct situation. Hiking boots for hiking, loafers for loafing and boat shoes for boating. It's simple advice that should be taken more often. Many of us have seen the dangers of life at sea in films such as Titanic and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, this danger is not lost on Yeezy, as he takes all the proper precautions when departing for open water. Kanye's safety will never be left in the hands of a floating wooden door or the loyalty of some undead seafarers.
Even though Kanye is dressed correctly when boating, he still watches out for waves.

Ted Gangi and Scott Farrell
No reason to panic
June Jones has proven he can make the best out of a bad situation.
He did it as a whole at Hawaii and he did it with guys like Colt Brennan, who were left for dead after making mistakes.
So, the suspension of Justin Willis, while disappointing, should not set off a panic. You can tell from Jones' quotes that he certainly isn't panicked.
Jones will make due. In fact, this is something that may bring his team closer together.
We all watched Willis do some magical things. But we all saw the other side of that as well. As much as Willis has had a knack for keeping the play alive and making things happen, his penchant for a careless turnover and his sometimes embarrassing temperament brought this team down.
While the previous staff seemed to coddle Willis, it's apparent that the new sheriff will have none of Willis' seemingly selfish and foolish behavior.
I don't get the feeling that Jones ever had intention of running Willis off. If junior college transfer Kevin Craft landed here from California last month, there might have been an argument for that.
But now Jones will almost assuredly be forced to play a quarterback with very little or no gameday experience.
Does SMU have someone in the stable who can play the position effectively in six months? There is no answer to that question. But, you best believe Jones will create a competitive environment for Zach Rhodes, Logan Turner, Bo Levi Mitchell and Braden Smith.
For SMU fans who have been excited about watching Justin Willis thrive in the June Jones system, it's likely well never know how that would have played out. It more likely that we've just watched a talented and likable player flush two years of excitement down the toilet.
With all that said, there is reason to be disappointed, even angry with Willis. But, with quarterback June Jones on campus, there is no reason to panic.
- Ted Gangi
Scott Farrell's counterpoint will be coming shortly.

Great value book set. Enjoyed some books more than others. Mainly dim but nice upper class chaps who get into love triangles and difficult situations but manage to bungle their way to a happy ending.Chris, 20/10/2012
The writing is to savour, with much sly wit. The tales are perfect: exposition/drama/happily resolved conclusion. Excellent fare for a wintry afternoon!Zena, 07/02/2012
Having enjoyed Jeeves & Wooster on TV, this collection lived up to my expectations of light comedy with typical 1920's/30's daffy heroines & sometimes brainless heroes. I haven't enjoyed "Uckridge" as much as the others, though.C. Blight, 16/01/2012

I suggest listening to 'Deathbed' by Relient K. It's long 11 minutes, but some of your work reminds me of it.
Never stop doing this! You are needed in the Kingdom.
That's really nice of you to say bro
I think God really doesn't need me, but I'm sure glad He accepts me!! !!!
Your artwork helped me at a bad time, thanks for reminding me not to be so selfish of my life when I should be remembering who gave it to me in the first place Thanks you!!!
Oh dear, I'm so glad it pointed you to Him bro,
He really is the One who holds us and keeps us going, when things get tough.
Keep on going! We're all in this battle, but we're not alone!!
You are very welcome, Thank you for sharing that.. it reminds me
this all hasn't been a mistake!
Amazing gallery and talent. God bless your art!
I hope that one day I can draw such beautiful and true drawings as you have for the glory of God! May God bless you!
(Sorry this reply is 2 years late!)
God bless you too friend!!
You just learn from nature and you're set to go and grow, use references from nature!
These painting videos have been helping me learn more: www.youtube.com/user/FZDSCHOOL
(although I don't plan on working on the video-game/movie industry) These videos are extremely good to learn to paint digitally.
I'd even say, I've learned more from these videos than from my college painting classes... sad to say..
Your artwork is amazing! God has truly blessed you with your talent!

It's not just Christine Lagarde who is on crutches
There always seems to be some kind of accoutrement on hand when Christine Lagarde, the International Monetary Fund's managing director, makes her public appearances. In Davos this year, she'd brought her "little bag" to collect money for eurozone bailouts. For this week's spring meeting of the IMF in Washington DC, she's brought a crutch. This time it's not deliberate. She's recently undergone a knee operation. Yet it seems no less appropriate. The world economy is on crutches too.
Nor was she able to give much hope of recovery. Progress was being made, she claimed, in strong arming the world into giving the IMF additional resources. The IMF's biggest shareholder, the US, has refused, if only because the administration knows it would never get the measure through Congress, but it appears to have dropped its objections to others providing the money instead. It remains to be seen whether George Osborne, the UK Chancellor, steps up to the plate.
Traditionally, the UK has been a strong supporter of the IMF and has always played its full role, including any additional funding. But like the US, Mr Osborne believes the eurozone should be doing more to help itself, and does not think the recent increase in the size of the eurozone's own bail-out funds to €800bn sufficient to meet this condition. We'll have to wait and see what charms Madame Lagarde can work. Mr Osborne is said to be quite bewitched by her, so it's more than likely he'll contribute at least the £10bn he's entitled to without seeking parliamentary approval.
Unfortunately, putting a bigger firewall in place is not going to solve the eurozone's problems, though it may at least allow for the Spanish bail-out that now looks increasingly likely.
In requesting additional funds, Madame Lagarde has stressed again today that no country has ever lost money lending to the IMF. This is of course true, but then there is always a first time, and the eurozone crisis, an advanced economy fiscal meltdown quite without precedent in the IMF's 67 year history, may well be it. The amounts at stake are also much larger than ever before, and the possibility of an eventual break-up of Europe's monetary union make the risks much higher.
To be fair on Ms Lagarde and her officials, they are as much aware of the dangers as even the most hardened of Euro-sceptics. They fully recognise that this is not just a crisis of confidence, that the issues are both fundamental and intractable. But support for the euro is apparently what IMF members want. The IMF refuses to quantify what the costs of break-up and collapse might be, but insists that they are certain to be high. So they are doing all in their power to try and make the euro work.
At this year's spring meeting, they have been more overt than ever before about the need for more and deeper Europe. The IMF now openly advocates debt mutualisation through the creation of Eurobonds, something which remains anathema to Germany. It also urges full federalisation of the European banking system, with common supervision and a single authority to restructure, recapitalise and resolve banks that get into difficulty. European bail-out money can and already has been used for bank recapitalisations, but the channel for doing it thus far has been through the sovereign. The IMF urges reform to allow direct intervention.
Whether any of this is sufficient to save the euro and quell the crisis remains open to question. But whatever the eventual outcome, the crutches will be a feature for a long time to come.

Saati posted a topic in Pre-Sales QuestionsHello, Im Iranian and in Iran webmaters cant buy license online. so they should use nulled versions. Imagine a IPB support forum which has license. 1. Does this support forum allowed to support IPBoard users who use ipb nulled and cracked versions? (if we support cracked ipb forums, our license will tarminate or deactive?) 2. Are IPB plugins and mods free for public download? (Are we allowed to public mods, plugins in our forum for free?)
Im waiting to your respond bfarber. :)
I see, no problem. I said product sales, because Iran in sanction now and people do not able to buy online products from some countries. I like to set up a IPB support forum in Persian language. But i would like to know what should I do to support IPB legality? Do supporters allow to release plugins in public? Does IPS group has a special rules for this case? Thank you! :)
Thanks for your answer. In Iran many webmasters dont have information or more information about IP.Board and most of them are using vBulletin or other softwares. Building a support website include forum and download may useful for webmasters and users to get familiar with this software. Could we run a website that help and support IPB users in Persian language? We can cooperate in declare IP.Board to iranian users, download plugins, articles and license sales. At last, this is offer by a member of Iranian webmastes society. Regards, Saati

I've had an Electrolux for many years. Dragging around the "dead dog" was cumbersome and especially difficult on stairs. Reaching ceiling/wall corners with the heavy wand and hose takes its toll. The light weight of the DC 59 is awesome. Reaching behind and under is a breeze. The suction is the strongest I've ever seen. There are some lose linoleum tiles in my basement and the DC 59 pulled them up-Well, I was going to replace them anyway. The battery lasts longer than I expected, batteries are always an issue. I have a cat and hair is a constant problem. My old vacuum clogged all the time, not so with the DC59. I have to empty the bin often, but that's not really an issue. A larger bin would add significant weight to the unit. There are two improvements I suggest. 1) As I have severe arthritis a lock on the power switch would be very helpful. 2) The material has a static charge and lose hair, dust & dirt sticks to the attachments and wand.

I have own this machine for less than two months and I have mixed feelings about it; first the positive. The way it looks is very cool and it works extremely well, the battery last way longer than described in the owners manual, I was able to clean my entire 1 bedroom apartment in a single charge in turbo mode which took about 15 minutes and according to the instructions the battery should have only last 6 minutes in that mode. The suction power is amazing this machine picks up everything and the brush tool is very good at collecting hair (you have to clean it often but that is very easy to do with some scissors and pliers). The not so good is that when you empty the canister, dust and hair get trapped in the rubber seal obstructing it and when you close it again it does not make a good seal. You really have to clean the rubber parts really well to get it to seal again; I find that washing the canister is the easiest way to do just that. The bad, the carbon fiber bristles are just coming of the brush and I have only used the vacuum cleaner 4 times. Also the clear plastic on the main canister degraded and now it looks foggy. Both this issues make me think the built quality is questionable at best...only time will tell yet for the price I payed I did not expect quality issues.

DC59 Animal
By Anonymous
This vac is light and powerful; useful for quick touch-ups between major vacuuming days.
Dust Bunnies No More!
By elocf7
We absolutely love our new DC59 Animal! We have tile and hardwood with a few throw rugs throughout our home and it has been a challenge to find a vacuum that will move effortlessly from hard surfaces to carpet. So for years I've just used a regular vacuum for the rugs and would use a broom to sweep the dirt and dust and then a wet mop to get the rest of the dirt left behind. Cleaning the floors was an all day event. Even with all that hard work I would be chasing dust bunnies the next day. Not so with the DC59 Animal! Now I spend a little less than a half hour to clean my entire 2100 sq ft home which is entirely tile and hardwood. The suction on the DC59 Animal is great! and I love how the powered head scubs the floors, picking up more dust and allowing more time between moppings. The powered scrubbing head works great to pick up sand, shells, small bits of food an crumbs without spitting it out or scattering the bits across the floor. My home is cleaner now than eve. The kids love using the vacuum too. So for me that's an added bonus. When I get out the vacuum, the kids beg me to let them use it in their rooms! That makes this vacuum invaluable in my eyes!!!! The first day I used the DC59 Animal, the battery ran out, but that was because I tried to clean it all in one shot. The second day of use I ran the battery out in 7 minutes not realizing the Max button was on. Once I turned the Max Button off, the battery life has been fine. Though, it would be nice to have a secondary battery charged and ready to go on big cleaning days (Thus the 4 star rating). But for our everyday cleaning, there is more than enough power to clean what needs to be picked up. The battery lasts around 23 minutes. I haven't had a problem with the dust canister being too small primarily because we don't have any large rugs or carpeted areas. I did get a blister on my right thumb knuckle from the canister resting on my thumb after the first day's use, but maybe I was too eager to have clean floors throughout my home...
By wwwss
Works great battery life could be longer thats the only draw back with this vacuum.
By Mush
The best parts about my Dyson: Light weight Easy to clean Easy to put together It is very powerful and picks up everything A few things that may make it better but I don't know if it can be done: The battery stopped sooner than I expected. I did charge it correctly. Now when I use it I have to make sure I go in fast motion to get everything I use it for to get cleaned. When you stop using it in between areas you have to make sure you put in on the floor (but my bad back does not like that) or lean it against something so it won't fall. It cannot stand on its own. Thank you.
love this machine!
By shopaddict
this is the most awesome hand held vacuum! super powerful, multiple uses, can reach under sofas and high up places ...life changing!
I have an older 3000sq ft home, 3 dogs, 2 kids and 4 adults. I use this vacuum almost every day. It's so lightweight and easy to use and does an incredible job picking up all the dog hair and dirt. I have yet to run out of battery life while using it. The fact that it's so portable allows me to take it outside and clean my car as well as take it in the car when I'm traveling, or when I take it to the office for quick clean ups. I am 100% satisfied with this product and have recommended it to everyone I can. This is my 2nd Dyson product (1st is a Dyson Upright Animal) and I rave about both of them. Having no cord makes cleaning that much easier! I never realized, until owning such a well made product how Happy I could be while cleaning - in fact, that should be Dyson's Slogan: Happy Cleaning! Thank you for continuing to create such amazing products!
love this machine
By tooldtovacuum
I have owned this machine for over a year now. Im 62 and it's hard for me to vacuum. I have 1 golden retriever and 4 cats so I have to vacuum daily and this machine is so easy. Just grab it and go. Picks up the hair and dirt with ease. The ease of taking it from room to room. carpets and hard floors. I would buy this again. why not 5 stars , Only thing I would possibly complain about is cleaning the canister. You can't just shake it out. I use a pencil.
DC59 Animal Vacuum (cordless)
By CJRISE
Great suction, but battery doesn't last very long. In fact, less than 10 minutes. Wish we had purchased the model with a cord.
LOVE this Cordless Vacuum!
By HonestJoe68
Great vacuum for quick pick ups, cleaning furniture and perfect for cleaning out the car. Since it's cordless, it's fast and easy to use. It picks up pet hair with ease and deep cleans carpet! Dyson gave me this vacuum and I have used it almost every day since. I was amazed at how much fine dust and dirt along with lots of dog hair I empty out of the bin every time I use it! This vacuum has a light touch trigger and I find this vacuum more comfortable and easier to use than my DC44. I use it often and always finish my cleaning task with extra battery life to spare. I like how the floor cleaning head has carbon fiber with bristles as it cleans all the fine dust and dirt from my hardwood. A great, very versatile cleaner that I highly recommend, and it makes a perfect addition to any of the Dyson Upright vacuums.
