[0001]1. Field of the Invention
[0002]The present invention relates to an apparatus that assists a user in turning the pages of a magazine, newspaper, or other composition, and, more specifically, to an apparatus that worn on the user's finger, and is thin, lightweight, and disposable.
[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004]Throughout any normal day we are presented with periods of time where we are given the chance to review a newspaper or magazine--during a morning coffee at a local cafe, while waiting at the doctor's office, or upon finding an abandoned periodical on the train. Reading such magazines and newspapers is an enjoyable way to pass time, but may result in dirty, or newsprint covered hands. Additionally, at times we are presented with pages that are stuck together and tough to turn. The traditional fix, of licking your fingers and then separating the pages, is not an ideal solution when reading a public or abandoned periodical.
[0005]What is needed is a single-use, disposable page-turning aid, which creates a frictional region at the tip of the reader's finger(s) and provides the casual reader the ability to keep his or her hands clean while reading a publicly available periodical. This page-turning aid should be easy to figure out upon first glance, made of minimal material, and provided at no additional cost to the reader. A small page-turning aid can be easily provided in multiplicity with the periodical, allowing for multiple successive readers to each enjoy the same magazine or newspaper. Additionally, with the page-turning aid comprised of a paper, or substantially paper material, the aid can be printed on and provide the periodical publisher with additional revenue through commercial advertising.
[0006]Briefly, an apparatus to assist an individual in turning the pages of a newspaper, magazine, book, or other periodical or composition is disclosed. The apparatus is made of an inexpensive, flexible, lightweight material, for example paper, and may come in a variety of conformations, each of which snugly fit the tip of a user's finger. The apparatus has an inside surface and outside surface, with an adhesive or frictional layer on at least the outside surface. The apparatus is either tightly wrapped or affixed to the user's fingertip, and the outside adhesive or frictional layer allows the user to more easily turn the pages of the composition.
[0007]Additionally, the apparatus may be printed on by advertisers, and/or supplied free of charge for use with periodicals, such as newspapers and magazines, that are available in publicly accessible places. This system of distribution provides users the ability to read publicly available materials while maintaining a sense of cleanliness, and provides publishing companies and printers with an additional source of revenue.
[0008]FIGS. 1(a)-(c) show an embodiment of the present invention, in a flat finger-wrap conformation.
[0009]FIGS. 2(a)-(c) show another embodiment of the present invention, in flattened thimble-conformation.
[0010]FIGS. 3(a)-(c) show yet another embodiment of the present invention in rounded thimble-conformation.
[0011]Referring now to FIG. 1(a), an angular view of flat finger-wrap page-turning aid 10 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Flat finger-wrap page-turning aid 10 is comprised of base strip 12 and interface layer 14. Base strip 12 is comprised substantially of any material that is flexible, to allow for wrapping around a finger; smooth, to avoid damage of the skin; strong enough to avoid tearing when pulled by a force perpendicular to the plane of its surfaces, and capable of being printed on the outer face of base strip 12, beneath interface layer 14. Exemplary materials for base strip 12 include, for example, paper, a cotton fiber reinforced paper, or DuPont® Tyvek®.
[0012]Interface layer 14 of finger-wrap page-turning aid 10 is the layer which interfaces with the pages being turned, and is formed on top of base strip 12. Interface layer 14 may be a high-friction material, for example, rubber; or may be an adhesive that is strong enough to adhere to and release from the pages of a newspaper or book for hundreds of cycles, but not strong enough so as to tear the pages being turned. Interface layer 14 may be transparent, so that any printing on base strip 12 is visible to the user. When interface layer 14 is comprised of an opaque adhesive or rubber, interface layer 14 may be capable of having text or graphics printed thereon, so that a visible printed area is not lost. Interface layer 14 should be thin, so as not to destroy the flexibility of base strip 12, allowing finger-wrap 10 to be easily and tightly wound around a user's finger. Where interface layer 14 is an adhesive, it may be tear-resistant, adhere firmly to turned pages yet be easily removable with clear release, durable and disposable, and easy to apply to base strip 12.
[0013]FIG. 1(b) shows a side view of finger-wrap page-turning aid 10. Interface layer 14 is formed directly upon base strip 12 without any intermediate layers therebetween. In FIGS. 1(a) and (b), interface layer 14 is shown to be formed substantially covering the top surface of base strip 12, and in a substantially similar rectangular shape. In other embodiments of the present invention, interface layer 14 may take the conformation of round adhesive or rubber dots covering a surface of base strip 12; narrow adhesive/rubber strips alternating with non-adhesive or non-rubber areas; checkerboard patterning; lettering; or any other shapes and patterns formed onto base strip 12.
[0014]FIG. 1(c) shows page-turning aid 10 ready for use, wrapped around the tip of finger 15 of hand 16. Flat finger-wrap page-turning aid 10 may be wrapped around the tip of finger 15 at the furthest distance possible from hand 16 in order to maximize accessibility to the pages that will be turned. As finger-wrap 10 is located further down finger 15 towards hand 16 it may become more difficult for page-turning aid 10 to successfully contact the page to be turned; and more difficult for the other available fingers to assist in turning the page once page-turning aid 10 has contacted the page.
[0015]In order for page-turning aid 10 to be easily attached to finger 15 at least a small portion of either interface layer 14 or base strip 12 should be adhesive. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the non-adhesive inner face of base strip 12 comes in contact with an adhesive portion of interface layer 14 when wrapped around finger 15, and thereby prevents page-turning aid 10 from unwrapping and falling off of finger 15. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the interface layer 14 comes in contact with an adhesive region on the inner face of base strip 12 when page-turning aid 10 is wrapped around finger 15, thereby preventing page-turning aid 10 from unwrapping and falling off of finger 15.
[0016]In yet another embodiment of the present invention, both the inner face of base strip 12, which contacts finger 15, and interface layer 14 may be treated with a frictional or adhesive material. In such a configuration, page-turning aid 10 may more easily remain fixed on the tip of finger 15 during use. Additionally, if both faces of base strip 12 include adhesive, then application by the user becomes simplified, as the user no longer needs to determine the proper orientation of page-turning aid 10 for wrapping around his or her finger.
[0017]Finger-wrap page-turning aid 10 may function as intended in any of a variety of lengths and widths. Preferably, base strip 12 is about 70 mm to 120 mm long, and about 6 mm to 35 mm wide. Preferably, base strip 12 is a quadrilateral, and, more preferably, is rectangular, with opposing edges being of substantially identical lengths so that multiple page-turning aids 10 may be cut from a single, larger sheet. For example, a square of base strip 12 material which is 120 mm by 120 mm may be cut 19 times along the same axis to create 20 page-turning aids 10, each of which are 6 mm by 120 mm.
[0018]FIG. 2(a) shows a top angular view of a flattened thimble-conformation page-turning aid 20, in accordance with an alternative embodiment of the present invention. Flattened thimble-conformation page-turning aid 20 may be supplied to the user flattened, at edges 27 and 28, so that the user pops it open and then places upon their fingertip, positioned as demonstrated by page-turning aid 10 in FIG. 1(c). Page-turning aid 10 may offer a benefit over page-turning aid 20 because aid 10 is wound tightly around the user's finger, and thus it may provide a more custom fit and be less likely to inadvertently slip off. Because the same utility is desired of each page-turning aids 10 and 20, base strip 22 is made of substantially the same material as base strip 12 of page-turning aid 10; and interface dot 24 is made substantially of the same material as interface layer 14 of page-turning aid 10.
[0019]Top hole 25 may have a diameter of about 10 millimeters (mm) to 19 mm, which prevents page-turning aid 20 from sliding down the finger of an average adult. Bottom hole 26 (shown in FIG. 2(b)) may have a diameter in the range of 15 mm to 25 mm to ensure that page-turning aid 20 can fit over the finger of an average adult. The width of base strip 22, or height of page-turning aid 20 (the distance from top hole 25 to bottom hole 26), may range from about 25 mm to 35 mm, depending on various factors, such as the size of the printing desired and quantity of page-turning aids 20 to be distributed together.
[0020]FIG. 2(b) shows a bottom angular view of page-turning aid 20. Bottom hole 26 may be of a size that is large enough to allow the tip of a finger to pass through, but becomes snug around the finger as the finger widens and further enters page-turning aid 20 towards top hole 25 (as seen in FIG. 2(a)). For use on a thumb, page-turning aid 20 may have a bottom hole 26 diameter of about 25 mm; and for use on a an index finger, page-turning aid 20 may have a bottom hole 26 diameter of about 15 mm.
[0021]FIG. 2(c) shows a top view of flattened thimble-conformation page-turning aid 20. The top view more clearly shows the creases present at edges 27 and 28 due to page-turning aid 20 being flattened for distribution. Additionally, the top view of FIG. 2(c) better illustrates the size difference between bottom hole 26 (as seen in FIG. 2(b)), where the finger enters, and top hole 25, which has a smaller diameter opening so that page-turning aid fits snugly on the fingertip. Top hole 25 is small enough so that the user's finger does not continue through, and out of, page-turning aid 20, causing it to slide down the user's finger.
[0022]For particular users, page-turning aids 10 and 20 may be the preferred embodiment of the present invention because of the benefits conferred by a flattened device. Page-turning aids 10 and 20 are amenable to distribution within the periodical itself (e.g., between the pages), on the cover of the periodical, or for sending within an envelope via the United States Postal Service. Such options are of little additional cost for a publisher or distributor to supply with a periodical, or for separate mailing. Additionally, because page-turning aids 10 may be created in multiplicity, for example multiple page-turning aids 10 may be created and printed from a single common sheet (and then torn off by the individual users), aids 10 may be quicker to manufacture, and offer greater visibility to passersby.
[0023]FIG. 3(a) shows an angular side view of rounded thimble-conformation page-turning aid 30, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Other than the fact that page-turning aid 30 is not supplied to the user flattened like page-turning aid 20, these are substantially the same devices. Interface dot 34 is the same material and serves the same function as interface dot 24 of page-turning aid 20; and base strip 32 is the same material and serves the same function as base strip 22. Top hole 35 may allow a small portion of a user's finger to pass through, e.g., the tip of an index finger, but is of a diameter which disallows any significant portion of the user's finger from passing through. Top hole 35 may have a diameter of about 10 millimeters (mm) to 19 mm, which prevents page-turning aid 30 from sliding down the finger of an average adult.
[0024]FIG. 3(b) shows an angular bottom view of rounded thimble-conformation page-turning aid 30. Bottom hole 36 is sized so that the tip of a finger can be inserted snugly, and page-turning aid 30 will not be pulled off by the frictional forces generated by interface dot 34 contacting and adhering to paper.
[0025]The width of base strip 32, or height of page-turning aid 30 (the distance from top hole 35 to bottom hole 36), may range from about 25 mm to 35 mm, depending on factors such as the size of the printing desired, and quantity of page-turning aids 20 to be distributed together.
[0026]FIG. 3(c) shows a top view of rounded-thimble conformation page-turning aid 30. The top view more clearly shows the rounded conformation of page-turning aid 30, and that it lacks the creases found at edges 27 and 28 on page-turning aid 20, due to flattening of page-turning aid 20. The top view of page-turning aid 30 in FIG. 3(c) also illustrates the size difference between bottom hole 36, where the finger enters, and top hole 35, which has a smaller diameter opening so that page-turning aid fits snugly on the fingertip. Top hole 35 is small enough so that the user's finger does not continue through, and out of, page-turning aid 30, causing it to slide down the user's finger. Bottom hole 36 may have a diameter in the range of 15 mm to 25 mm to ensure that page-turning aid 30 can fit over the finger of an average adult.
[0027]An advantage of page-turning aid 30 is that a multiplicity of page-turning aids 30 may be supplied in stack, similar to drinking cups at a water cooler, at a location where individuals may find and borrow communal periodicals. For example, a stack of page-turning aids 30 may be found on the table at a doctor's office, or periodical rack at a library, where the aids 30 are clearly visible and easily accessible. In such circumstances, aids 30 may be conducive to individuals reading where they otherwise might abstain from handling communal periodicals for a variety of reasons, e.g., for fear of catching the flu.
[0028]In alternative embodiments of the present invention interface dot 34 is not restricted to being round shaped. The material used for interface dot 34 may completely cover the outer face of base strip 32, or may constitute any intermediate level of coverage between the two extremes, i.e. rings, lettering, or other patterns of frictional rubber or adhesive material which partially cover base strip 32's outside face.
[0029]Although the present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiment, it is anticipated that alterations and modifications thereof will no doubt become apparent to those more skilled in the art. It is therefore intended that the following claims be interpreted as covering all such alterations and modification as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Kalaloch stewards
FORKS — Kalaloch Lodge in Olympic National Park, operated by Delaware North Companies Parks and Resorts at Kalaloch, Inc., has achieved ISO 14001 registration this month.
ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized set of standards for environmental management.
These standards are designed to help organizations comply with related laws, regulations and requirements, minimize how their operations affect the environment and look for ways to improve their operations from an environmental perspective.
Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts at Kalaloch Lodge uses GreenPath, an environmental management system used to conserve natural resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"ISO 14001 is a continuous improvement process," said Alec Bartolai, environmental manager at Kalaloch Lodge.
"It not only lends credibility to our Environmental Management System but ensures our long-term responsibility to minimizing the environmental impact of our operations.
"Registration legitimizes our stewardship commitments and demonstrates the priority we place on environmental improvement. It makes sustainability an integral part of our day-to-day operations and forces us to always consider and look for ways to shrink our environmental footprint."
Albertsons plans
The grocery chain Albertsons plans to close several stores in the Northwest, but the local store is not on the list.
Seven of 111 shops will be shuttered in Washington and Oregon.
Albertsons spokesman Dennis McCoy said the Boise, Idaho-based company is continuously evaluating its stores, pulling the plug on locations that are less profitable.
The Port Angeles location will not be affected, McCoy said Wednesday.
McCoy said some of the employees who worked at the affected stores may be able to transfer to a different location.
Apple refund
WASHINGTON — Kids gleefully snapped up virtual pet food, gems or other items while playing games on their mobile devices, while the bills from Apple Inc. mounted, often without parents' knowledge. Now, the tech giant has agreed to refund the money.
Following tens of thousands of consumer complaints, the Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that Apple will pay at least $32.5 million to settle a federal case involving those in-app purchases.
Apple also must change its billing practices to make it more obvious that an actual purchase is taking place during the course of the game or app.
Just how could a kid buy these things without mom or dad's knowledge and run up bills into the hundreds of dollars or more?
A game-player wants to advance to a new level or buy coins, a chest of gems or treats for a virtual pet.
It takes a click, and then the app asks for a password. The child turns to a parent, who punches it in.
But, according to the FTC complaint, Apple did not always make it clear that they were buying something.
Parents also were not told that entering the password started a 15-minute clock during which kids could make unlimited purchases without any further action by an adult, the agency said.
A single purchase generally can range from 99 cents to $99, the commission said.
Saturday mail
WASHINGTON — The $1.1 trillion budget plan to fund the government contains a provision that will cheer people who like their weekend mail delivery.
The measure said six-day delivery would continue, meaning the U.S. Postal Service won't be able to cut Saturday mail.
The provision also said rural mail delivery would continue at current levels.
The Postal Service, an independent agency, has been pressing Congress to end Saturday delivery amid steep financial losses.
It lost $5 billion in the past fiscal year, down from $15.9 billion in 2012.
Records training
OLYMPIA — Legislation moving through the state House and Senate would require training in the state's public record law for newly elected or appointed officials.
The officials could be trained online. The attorney general's office already has the information on its website.
Backers told a Senate committee hearing Thursday that requiring training would curtail violations and costly lawsuits.
Lawmakers also are discussing an update to the open-meetings law that would require governing bodies to post agendas online at least 24 hours in advance.
Ports to share
SEATTLE — The ports of Seattle and Tacoma plan to share information about operations, facilities and rates to help Puget Sound compete in a shifting global maritime industry.
The ports said Friday they were filing an agreement with the Federal Maritime Commission to respond to what they call "unprecedented industry pressures."
The ports say they face increased competition from other North America ports as shipping lines invest in larger vessels and consolidate terminals.
The idea of merging the ports of Seattle and Tacoma is not part of the discussion.
Green diesel
SEATTLE — Boeing is touting "green diesel," a form of diesel fuel made from waste vegetable oils and animal fats, as a significant new source of sustainable aviation biofuel that could reduce the aviation industry's carbon emissions.
The jet maker said about 800 million gallons is produced annually today at refineries in Louisiana, the Netherlands, Finland and Singapore for use largely as truck fuel.
Boeing projects expansion that could supply as much as 1 percent of global commercial jet fuel demand, about 600 million gallons annually.
The wholesale cost – about $3 a gallon with U.S. government incentives – is competitive with petroleum jet fuel.
Boeing is working with the Federal Aviation Administration and other stakeholders to gain approval for aircraft to fly on green diesel.
Broader scam
DALLAS — The security breach that hit Target Corp. during the holiday season appears to have been part of a broader and highly sophisticated scam that potentially affected a large number of retailers, according to a report published by a global cyber intelligence firm that works with the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security.
The report, made public Thursday by iSight Partners of Dallas, offers more insight into the breach at Target.
That attack affected 40 million credit and debit card accounts and led to the theft of personal information, including email addresses and names, of as many as 70 million customers.
The report said that a malicious program vacuuming personal data from terminals at store check-out stations was "almost certainly derived" from BlackPOS, a crude but effective piece of software that contained malware scripts with Russian origins.
The report noted that because this kind of software can "cover its own tracks," it's not possible to determine the scale, scope and reach of the breach without detailed forensic analysis.
Last week, Neiman Marcus said thieves stole some of its customers' payment information and made unauthorized charges over the holidays. The company said it was working with the Secret Service on the breach.
United furloughs
NEW YORK — United Airlines plans to furlough 688 flight attendants after it didn't get enough of them to take a voluntary buyout.
The furloughs will begin in April, United said.

A great thing to do, Sevilla is a beautiful city and Daniel brought it alive As he showed us around. He was really knowledgeable and his pride in his city was translated into a superb tour. The bikes were great fun, we haven't ridden a bike for over 20 years and we had no problems at all.
What a fun way to see Seville and its historical sites! Our guide Marie was outstanding! She was so knowledgable, you could tell she was passionate about the stories and history of Seville. The bikes were great and the small group size was perfect. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Spain!
It is a great way to see Seville and Maria our guide was really knowledgeable. We really enjoyed ourselves even though some of us had not ridden a bike for over 20 years.
Marie, our guide, was amazing! She was funny and made the entire tour extremely entertaining! She was so friendly we felt vey comfortable with her and the bikes immediately!!!! It was a highlight of our trip and i would suggest it to everyone going to Seville!
Amazing tour around Seville. Our guide was very charming and informative. The bike ride is very easy and you cover a lot of ground that would have taken forever via foot. Highly recommend.
This was a wonderful two hours - and ẃe would have liked it to be longer to go beyond the main attractions into some of the areas that Marie recommended we should go and visit.
Marie was a wonderful guide with excellent english and interesting facts if you discussed beyond the prepared information on each venue visited,.
The bikes were in great condition, and the e-bike additional support meant that whether you were an occasional cyclist, a young cyclist or a more mature cyclist, that you could keep up and be involved,.
Being dreadful parents, we stopped for a photo and lost the group - who looked after our 15 year old son as we could not find them! We were never worried and Maria and her team very helpful.
Definitely would recommend to friends visiting Seville.
We had an awesome afternoon tour of Sevilla. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and fun/nice! The company was really also accommodating when we had to change the time of our tour last minute. We were so grateful! Would recommend this tour to anyone as a way to get your feet wet with Sevilla and then go and do the inside tours of what was most interesting to you.
Great tour in electric bikes. We cover a lot of area in our two hour trip. Our guide was awesome. Spoke English well and had a wealth of knowledge on the history and monuments in Seville.
Fantastic and so much fun. Lola was our guide and was incredibly knowledgeable, with the skill to educate and entertain at the same time. Loved it
It was such a fun and adventurous way to see Seville, Marie was the perfect guide! We enjoyed every minute of it!
Juan was very knowlegeable and obviously loved Seville. He gave a very good overview of the history of the city and some of his recommendations saved us a lot of time in visiting places we wanted to see.
Super fun tour. My only complaint is that it is too short! There is a lot to see in Seville and the electric bikes make it easy to see. Would have loved for this to be expanded.
A lot of info, in a short period. The guide Marie gave us a nice overview of Seville, during a relax trip with excellent electric bikes. To get the legal trick to avoid the hugh waiting queue at the Cathedral, just book this Electric Bike Tour.
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide Maria was a wealth of knowledge and bought the history of the city alive. The pace was easy and the electric bikes were very easy to operate and ride. I would highly recommend taking this tour.
We did this tour to see the sights of Seville in an easy way. The guide was very knowledgeable and fun to travel with. The city has many mazes of streets like Venice so doing this on your own would be very challenging. We had such a great time that we booked a similar tour in Barcelona later in the week. I highly recommend this.
A very good explanation at every stop about the rich history of Saville and it's beautiful buildings. The bikes were a great experience !
We had a wonderful time on our electric bike tour. Neither of us had ever ridden an electric bike before, but it was super easy to get the hang of - we now love 'vacation biking'! Our guide was informative and even gave us a great restaurant recommendation. If you are considering this tour, you should go!!
These bikes are super fun!! Great way to discover the city.
Great tour with a small group...definitely recommend. Only trouble we couldn't find the meeting point and nearly missed our slot, fortunately they waited for us!
Tour was great! Although hard to find, without asking an information desk who had a computer we probably wouldn't have been able to find it
Meisam United States of ...
It is a great tour the best tour we did in Seville. It covers most of the attractions in Seville if you can do it on your first day of visiting Seville, it gives you idea what to do and where to go for the rest of your stay.
Excellent experience. Bikes worked well.
Our guide Marie was delightful and a a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge on the area.
very much enjoyed the tour.Our guide was pleasant young lady and fun to tour with and very knowledgeable. This tour is well worth going on, it was both entertaining and a good learning experience.
Gary Marge--Victoria B.C. Canada
It was a great experience. Luckely we were only the three of us with the guide so it was just like a private tour. Thanks to Maria who was very efficient and kean on lots of explications with many references to historical facts knowing perfectly her subject. It was a big help for the rest of our stay in Seville. She also gave us a few adresses with were totally positive.
Fantastic, Niek is very knowledgable about Seville and communicated this knowledge in a personable and humourous way. Bikes feel safe and Seville is a perfect city to try this out.

Just got back from a fantastic week staying at this hotel,for most of the week we were the only ones staying in the hotel and they gave us one of the suite rooms so we felt really spoiled. The food was all home cooked and tasted perfect, we had real Moroccan food. Breakfast was eggs, cakes, bread, fresh orange juice and coffee. dinner was 3 course, soup/salad to start, chicken tegine, couscos,etc for main and then homemade chocolate mousse,fruit ect for dessert.
we hired a car from Marrakech airport and drove to Ouarzazate about 3-4 hours over the Atlas mountains on hindsight we should have hired a 4WD! We then did various trips to Zagora, Dades valley, Todra Gorge where we hired a guide and some horses and spent 3 hours in the palermeries and the Gorge..fantastic, we went through Assettif Aventures about 700 metres from the start of the Gorge. we also want to mention Arafa Mohamed who owns a shop a few doors down, he sells some really nice Berber made items and will give you tea whilst you browse. On the whole we had a fantstic week staying at this Hotel.
just a helpful note on tipping, we tipped quite generously where ever we went as the average wage here is still low, they consider 5dh or 10dh a good tip which is 30p and 70p, we usually left 20dh for dinner l(£1.50) I tipped the chef and the room maid at the end of the holiday, and gave alms (money to the poor) sometimes on the street as I saw the locals do this all the time although there were not too many we never gave money to the children but took fruit and cereal bars,things they don't normally have up in the mountains.

Cons: Required some finesse to get the EP121 stable, had to find a modded BIOS version 704 and flash, but has been stable ever since (1 week)
Other Thoughts: Crucial advertises this drive as Guaranteed Compatible with the ASUS EP121 tablet PC. It fits nicely and is easy to replace. Easily load windows 7 via the ASUS recovery disks, do not need to preformat the drive or anything - just pop it in and start loading software. However, Windows will BSOD anytime I wake from sleep or hibernate. Did some searching through the Tablet PC Review forums, some opinions that this is related to some kind of timing issue related to the speed of the drive being much faster than the original SanDisk 32GB SSD that it came with.
There is a Modded BIOS available from CF77, be sure to flash this BIOS before installing this SSD! Will work perfectly only with that BIOS - None of the ASUS BIOS versions will work!
Sweet having 256GB on what is my favorite Windows Tablet ever!
This review is from: ASUS EP121-1A004M Intel Core i5 2 GB Memory 32GB SSD 12.1" Tablet PC - Silver Bezel, White Back Panel Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: This tablet is awesome, plain and simple. It is all solid-state, so it doesn't need to be taken out at the airline. It is FAST for a tablet PC. Low power Core i5 will allow you to do just about anything - paired with windows and the integrated graphics, the productivity is great! The touch input is flawless in OneNote and in artsy apps. In past years, tablets from Lenovo and HP have horrible touch input (lags, not very pressure sensitive), but the ASUS EP121 is FLAWLESS! I absolutely love it - so nice to have as it will replace every paper and notebook you have been lugging around! Combined with digital textbooks, newspapers, magazines- you will never carry paper or ink ever again! AND it can have all the office productivity comfort of your standard laptop. GREAT PRODUCT!!
Cons: Battery life, obviously - gets about 5 hours using OneNote or Office, as short as 2 hours watching videos.
Other Thoughts: Don't confuse "Tablets" with "Tablet PCs". This is not a iPad tablet, it is a full fledged computer in a tablet form factor - much more powerful than an iPad or Xoom. Trade off is battery life.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: PowerColor Radeon HD 4870 DirectX 10.1 AX4870 512MD5 512MB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros: Excellent crossfired setup for the value. Significantly quieter than my old MSI Radeon 3870. Cannot get much better performance @ this price range. Cards run pretty cool even under high loads.
Cons: Didn't come with MW2. Lost sleep playing COD4 and COD5 while admiring pretty graphics. For real though, just make sure you have your own xfire bridge as these cards do not come with them.
Other Thoughts: I bought two of these and crossfired them on an MSI X58 platinum motherboard, with Core i7 920 @ stock speeds & 6 GB DDR3 ram @ 1600 MHz. Fits easily in my Antec 900 case. Plays COD4/5, and WoW great at max settings. Hands down best value for the money (as of end of October 2009) as the $250 xfired performance rivals a single $350+ Radeon 5870. Would not replace these cards until the next gen 68xx Radeons are released and the 5870s are as cheap as these 4870s are now.
Only had these cards a couple of weeks, have not failed yet. I will be sure to post if they die, but so far so good.

I have some problems trying to order a WP_Query, maybe someone can help me.
I´ve created a wp_query, the post_type is a custom post type from a plugin, so I cannot modify it.
I need to add an extra field to each post so I´ve done this (don´t know if this is correct):
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
$query->post->total = get_total(); endwhile;
Here I add an extra field "total" to the posts array.
The problem is that now I need to order the posts by this field (total) and I don´t know how to do it.
I´ve tried with get_posts, pre_get_posts but nothing works.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance

"Frakers Farm (single): Bonjour Shortly before Christmas this year I was treated to a private listen of Lance and Landon Fraker's (the duo behind Frakers Farm) brilliant LP "Moose Love Sugar." It was an experimental, bluesy, funny and contemporary passage of music that I'm excited for people to hear in 2011. My ears are always partial to production that feels outside of time i.e. the sound doesn't adhere to the rules or types of a given trend. The first single (at least what I consider the single) from the album is the song "Bonjour." It's a loping slab of South Georgia psychedelia and dare I say Hog Hop? Yeah, I dare say it. "I like'em all.""

As usual, Nashbar delivers, great pump at a great price.
By Trek for life

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Nashbar Earl Grey Floor Pump:
This is a great price. For a great pump. We have a few bikes with different style values, and this handles them all. Locks on valve tight, easy to pump, and easy to read the gauge.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great pump
By Biker
from CT
About Me Avid Cyclist
Easy to use, easy to lock on to pump and unlock
Good pump
By Boykey
from Texas
See all my reviews
Only had for a week so we will see how well it holds up
Good quality, good price
By Abe
from NM
I have gone through a number of floor pumps over the years and this is the easiest on and off that I have ever owned. Very little bleed off when removing.
Great pump but terrible head piece
By rdcpt
from chattanoog TN
the pump itself is all it is described to be...rugged, powerful and easy to use. the head piece did not work well. when you flip the lever to compress the rubber and hold the head piece onto the presta/Schrader valve the rubber grommet is compressed forward pushing the head piece off the valve stem. spent 5 minutes trying to get it to stay on the valve. luckily had a head piece from an old pump so I swapped them out and have no problems
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Double-sided for Presta and Schrader
By Southern Gentleman
from Ocean Springs, MS
About Me Competitive Cyclist
This is a great pump especially for the money, travels well, and even added air to my car tire when I noticed it low.
Great Floor Pump
By RG
from Cypress, TX
This pump is a great addition to the new rider's collection of gadgets. It is very sturdy and easy to use. Not to mention very affordable. You don't buy a pump every day so finding a good one at a good price will leave that extra money for other bike stuff that you "need" even worse.
Great bike pump
By Mark the heavy rider
from Greenwood, SC
The valve clamps on really well and I think this pump will compete with the much more expensive models. I bought one, but wish I would have bought 2 since they were on sale.
Waited too long to buy this!
By SS the Road Biker
from Chelsea, AL
It is very easy to use. Works just like it should.
Better than I expected
By Jay Woo
from Daytona Beach, Florida
This is a replacement for an old blue Nashbar pump that still works. I was pleasantly surprised, I love the valve on this one, locks on and seals great, the gauge is large enough to read as I pump up my bike and it is easy to get the pressure you want because of its predictable pump pressure

BMW X4, made in Spartanburg County, to land at dealerships this spring
Published: Thursday, March 6, 2014 at 4:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 6, 2014 at 4:37 p.m.
The new vehicle tied to Spartanburg County-based BMW Manufacturing Co.'s $1 billion expansion in 2012—the X4—is ready to make its debut.
Photo Galleries
BMW Group announced Thursday production of the newest addition to its Sports Activity Vehicle lineup will begin in Spartanburg County this spring.
The German automaker said the 2015 X4 will be unveiled at the New York International Auto Show in April and customers should "watch for it" at authorized BMW centers during the spring.
BMW said the X4, which is the little brother of its X6 Sports Activity Coupe, combines the performance and capability of its premium SAVs with the style and elegance of a traditional coupe.
U.S. customers will have their choice of two TwinPower Turbo engines in the new model.
The X4 xDrive28i will feature BMW's 240 horsepower 2.0-liter four cylinder and carries a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $45,625. The X4 xDrive35i version will be equipped with a 300 horsepower 3.0-liter in-line six cylinder. It will have an MSRP of $48,925.
Both models include an 8-speed Steptronic sport automatic transmission with shift paddles and xDrive, BMW's "intelligent" all-wheel drive system.
The company said the X4 is slightly smaller than the X3, but it will have more standard equipment, including a power tailgate, sports leather steering wheel with shift paddles, variable sport steering, performance control and rear park distance control.
BMW will offer it with a wide range of paint colors, light-alloy wheel, and upholstery and trim choices.

In today's increasingly interconnected world, how do we prepare our children to succeed and to become happy, informed global citizens? A mother of three, Homa Sabet Tavangar has spent her career helping governments develop globally oriented programs and advising businesses on how to thrive abroad. In Growing Up Global, Tavangar shares with all of us her "parenting toolbox" to help give our children a vital global perspective.
Whether you're mastering a greeting in ten different languages, throwing an internationally themed birthday party, or celebrating a newfound holiday, Growing Up Global provides parents and children with a rich, exciting background for exploring and connecting with far-flung nations they may have only heard about on television. Inside you'll discover
- fun activities, games, and suggestions for movies, music, books, magazines, service activities, and websites for expanding your family's worldview
- simple explanations that will help your children grasp the diversity of world faiths
- creative ways to gain geography literacy
- handy lists of celebrations and customs that offer a fascinating look at how people from different cultures around the world live everyday life
Growing Up Global is a book that parents, grandparents, and teachers can turn to again and again for inspiration and motivation as they strive to open the minds of children everywhere.
Praise For…
"Growing up Global offers fascinating ideas for giving young people opportunities to become truly global citizens. Learning about the customs and culture of others around the globe enriches our lives so much and can only lead to better understanding and cooperation for generations to come."—Jane Goodall PhD, DBE, Founder, The Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace
"Growing up Global is for every family on the planet, bar none. Tavangar's stellar ideas for deepening children's understanding of—and comfort with—every culture is a must in today's increasingly borderless world. But Tavangar's tips aren't just about imbuing children with the multicultural competence they need to succeed in today's cultural blender; unwittingly or not, she's also provided a road map for connecting more deeply and joyfully with our kids as we uncover the world's smorgasbord of art, movies, books, games, sports, foods, religions (and dispel antiquated stereotypes) on our journey to discovery. This book is a two for one.—Donna Jackson Nakazawa, author, Does Anybody Else Look Like Me: A Parent's Guide to Raising Multiracial Children
"Growing Up Global is an intelligent, thoughtful guide for developing a global orientation in children. The chapter on school experiences around the world was particularly relevant, and I found the service and giving chapter inspirational. This is an encouraging book for a multicultural world!"—Terri Morrison, co-author, Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands: The Bestselling Guide to Doing Business in More Than Sixty Countries
"The single greatest gift you can give your child today is to raise them with a global mind-set. If you read only one book this year about child rearing, make it Growing Up Global. It is relevant for today's families, and long overdue." —Perry Yeatman, author of Get Ahead by Going Abroad

Court Avoids Discussing Detainees in a Secrets Case
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court heard its first "state secrets" case in 60 years Tuesday, a legal fight the justices viewed more as a business matter affecting contract law than one with broader implications for terrorism-related disputes.
The case stems from the ill-fated A-12 Avenger project, which the Defense Department canceled in 1991, after contractors produced stealth fighters too heavy for aircraft carriers to handle. The government says it is entitled to a refund of $1.35 billion from contractors Boeing Co. BA 0.49 % and General Dynamics Corp. GD -0.14 % They sued, countering that they are owed an additional $1.25 billion for work they had yet to bill.
The companies lost on all their claims but one—that their inability to produce the plane was the government's fault, because the Defense Department withheld crucial stealth technology from the contractors. The government refused to provide information that the contractors needed to make that claim, asserting that disclosure would endanger national security.
The government has also cited the state-secrets privilege to quash lawsuits by former detainees and others alleging abuse by the U.S. after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
However, the justices and lawyers for both sides stayed away from the detainee suits during arguments Tuesday. No party questioned whether the Defense Department had the right to keep information from the companies. Instead the question was whether the government, once it exercised the privilege, should be forced to concede its case.
Although no clear majority emerged, the question seemed to divide the court along ideological lines, with conservative justices sympathizing with the military contractors and liberals tacking toward the government's side.
In the 1953 ruling establishing the state-secrets privilege, U.S. v. Reynolds, the court made clear that the privilege applied only to civil lawsuits, not to criminal prosecutions.
The contractors' lawyer, Carter Phillips, likened his clients to criminal defendants and the government's action to that of a prosecutor. Because the government canceled the contracts and then withheld crucial evidence when the aerospace suppliers challenged that action, they should effectively win by default, he argued.
"You could say we're sort of being a little greedy," Mr. Phillips said, but that's what "basic contract law" required.
Justice Antonin Scalia agreed that the government was the "moving party" because it initiated the contract termination. But he suggested that courts should stay out of the dispute, letting the contractors keep the money they already have without forcing the government to pay them more.
"It's granting nobody relief. We're leaving you where you are. 'Get out of here,' is what we're saying," Justice Scalia said.
Chief Justice John Roberts seemed sympathetic to that approach. "Why don't we call the whole thing off? Nobody's at fault; that means it's terminated not for fault, but for convenience, and that's it," he said.
But Justice Sonia Sotomayor suggested that could be unfair to the government. Boeing and General Dynamics are "two sophisticated contracting parties" that "entered a contract knowing the government could invoke state secrets," she said. "It has, and so you bear the risk of that," she said.
Justice Stephen Breyer said the prosecution analogy was dubious. To "apply it to government contracting, where sophisticated contractors are perfectly capable of negotiating their own contract, we are not just throwing a monkey wrench into the gears of government contracting; we're throwing the whole monkey," he said.
Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, representing the government, pointed out that the aerospace suppliers had initiated the lawsuit after a Pentagon contracting officer canceled the contract for nonperformance. Regardless, he argued that the contractors were familiar with the pitfalls of defense work. "I don't think anyone held a gun to their back," he said.
However the justices decide, they appear unlikely to create a clear precedent for the former detainees' complaints.
Legal observers said if the court wishes to explore the limits of the state secrets privilege, it might choose to accept an appeal from one detainee alleging abuse, who recently lost at a closely divided federal appeals court in the case called Mohamed v. Jeppesen DataPlan.
"There's a deprivation of liberty at stake in that case," something of a different order than a contract dispute, said Charles Stimson of the Heritage Foundation, a former Pentagon official in the George W. Bush administration.
In the post-Sept. 11 cases, courts have granted government motions to dismiss the lawsuits in their entirety, even though plaintiffs have said they would base some or all of their arguments on public information.
Peter Raven-Hansen, a law professor at George Washington University, said lower courts need more guidance on striking a balance between individual rights and national security, perhaps by adapting methods used to protect classified information in criminal cases for civil litigation.
"That kind of experimentation hasn't been undertaken much in these state-secrets cases, but it isn't evident that it wouldn't work," he said.
