Pottsie, how could you possibly be annoying offering help?
They could have a baby down the line, the Force signature would certainly attract something bad. I can even imagine a Bindo branch of the Order.
I was thinking of sending them off to find out about a Force disease--perhaps a few Jedi succumbed, and they have to figure out what's doing it and why.
I know the title doesn't fit the story anymore. When I started it, I meant to make it more Jolee focused, with him telling little stories as they went through similar experiences, and Jae and Talin would have almost a side role. Then I decided 'hmm, I should have them go on a quest.' Then the story took a big turn from my initial concept into something completely different, and I went along for the ride. I just didn't feel like changing the title.
The next one will have a title that fits better, theoretically, since I'll have an outline of it beginning to end rather than doing an outline in the middle of the story after I've realized that the story has gone way farther than I ever imagined.
And yes, Revan was LSM in my story.
From MST3K's spoof of "Hercules Unchained"--heard as Roman medic soldiers carry off an unconscious Greek Hercules on a 1950's Army green canvas stretcher: "Hi, we're IX-I-I. Did somebody dial IX-I-I?"

It went down to the wire, but fishermen were relieved to learn they can continue to hose down their decks without fear of violating the Clean Water Act.
Congress voted unanimously this week to extend a moratorium for three years that exempts commercial fishing vessels 79 feet and under from needing incidental discharge permits from the Environmental Protection Agency for deck wash. The current moratorium, which affects 8,500 Alaska vessels, was set to expire on Dec.18.
The regulation is aimed at preventing fuels, toxins or hazardous wastes from entering the water. That makes sense, said Senator Lisa Murkowski, but needing permits for hosing down a boat is going overboard – especially when recreational boats, even 300 foot yachts, are exempt from the rule.
The Pacific halibut stock appears to be rising from the ashes, and that bodes well for catches in some fishing regions next year. It would turn the tide of a decades-long decline that has caused halibut catches to be slashed by more than 70 percent in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.
Three Alaska areas showed improvement in the annual stock surveys that range from Oregon to the Bering Sea, and could have higher catch levels in 2015. That's according to information revealed at the International Pacific Halibut Commission's interim meeting last week in Seattle.
Two are the most prime halibut fishing spots: Southeast and the Central Gulf; the third is the Alaska Peninsula Region.
It's that time of year when Alaska's fishery meetings kick into high gear.
The industry will get a first glimpse of potential 2015 halibut catches when the International Pacific Halibut Commission convenes Dec. 2-3 in Seattle. It's been a wait-and-see attitude among fish circles: Will Alaska's catch limits again be reduced, down already 70 percent over a decade to just 16 million pounds? Or has the Pacific halibut stock started to rebound as some of the science indicates?
Alaska is poised for some big fish stories next year, based on predictions trickling in from state and federal managers.
For the state (and nation's) largest fishery — Alaska pollock — the Eastern Bering Sea stock has more than doubled its 10-year average to top nine million tons, or 20 billion pounds.
And the stock is healthy and growing, according to annual surveys.
"It is one of the most stunning fisheries management successes on the planet," said global market expert John Sackton about pollock numbers released by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. He said Alaska pollock represents 40 percent of global whitefish production.
Commercial fishing jobs grew last year to a level not seen since the year 2000, according to the State Department of Labor. Driven primarily by an increased salmon harvest — notably from the record run of pinks — fishing jobs grew by nearly 2.5 percent last year. That brought the annual monthly average to 8,400 jobs, just 400 shy of the record more than a decade ago.
Seafood harvesting and processing jobs are a focus of the November Alaska Economic Trends, which breaks down the numbers by region. Some highlights:
Alaska claimed the nation's top three fishing ports for seafood catches last year, and wild salmon landings – 95 percent from Alaska – topped one billion pounds. It's an all-time record and a 70 percent increase from 2012.
That's according to the annual Fisheries of the United States report for 2013, just released by NOAA Fisheries.
Dutch Harbor topped the list for landings for the 17th year running with 753 million pounds of fish crossing the docks last year, valued at nearly $200 million. The Aleutian Islands region ranked second for landings, thanks to the big Trident plant at Akutan; Kodiak ranked third for both seafood landings and value.
For the 14th year in a row, New Bedford, Mass. had the highest valued catch at $380 million. That's due mostly to pricey sea scallops, which accounted for more than 80 percent of New Bedford's 130 million pound landings.
The Bering Sea crab fleet now stands at 77 vessels — a far cry from the nearly 250 boats before the fishery downsized to catch shares in 2005. Fewer boats means less hands on deck, and — as with so many others — the Bering Sea crabbers are "graying" and need to recruit young entrants to sustain the iconic fisheries. To do so, shareholders have devised a way to give captains and crews first crack at available crab.

A ballot measure to protect salmon in Southwest hasn't grabbed as many headlines as pot and campaign politics. Ballot Measure 4, sponsored by the group Bristol Bay Forever, asks voters to give the Alaska Legislature final say on any large oil, gas and mining projects in the 36,000 square miles of the Bristol Bay Fisheries Reserve.
The initiative does three significant things to the existing reserve, said Dick Mylius, a former state director for the Division of Mining, Land, and Water.
"It adds large-scale metallic mines to things requiring legislative approval, it broadens the geographic area to include the entire drainage including uplands, and it also applies to state, private and federal lands within the reserve," Mylius said at a recent forum hosted by Alaska Common Ground in Dillingham.
I must admit that U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan achieved something I have been trying to accomplish as a fisheries writer for more than a quarter of a century: he gave long legs to media stories about Alaska's fisheries and, more importantly, attracted unparalleled recognition of the seafood industry nationwide.
How did that come about for a fractious industry that bemoans a la comedian Rodney Dangerfield — "I don't get no respect?"
When Sullivan's campaign announced he would not attend a traditional Kodiak fisheries debate scheduled with all U.S. Senate candidates in late May, he said it was due to a military obligation. Then, after winning the August primary, and despite months of advance notice, Sullivan's campaign abruptly brushed off a fisheries face-off against incumbent Sen. Mark Begich set for Oct. 1. Dan had no other commitment, his manager said, his travel schedule was just "too busy."

Social Responsibility
Social Responsibility
We care about our people, the communities we serve and the planet we all share. And we strive to act accordingly.
We care about our people, the communities we serve and the planet we all share. And we strive to act accordingly.
Corporate Social Responsibility at Aritzia
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) team has a simple mission: to help our employees and partners make decisions that reflect who we are and what we believe. We want our actions to be socially and environmentally responsible, and we want them to benefit everyone in our larger global community.
We Love Our People
We're committed to fair treatment, proper pay and a healthy and safe work environment for our entire team. This includes everyone from the employees in our stores, distribution centers and support offices to our partners throughout the supply chain, from our cleaning staff to the person who sews the button onto your parka.
We audit all of our garment factories for human trafficking and slavery risks. We use independent, third-party monitoring firms and, on occasion, our own Social Responsibility Manager accompanies auditors on inspections. These audits are announced within a two-week window.
We work with our suppliers and partners to ensure they comply with all local and international laws governing human trafficking and slavery, with no exceptions. Our in-house staff works with our third-party monitoring firms on factory remediation and continuous improvement plans.
Our focus on progress is ongoing. We will continue to work closely with our partners on developing sustainable standards and improving working conditions. It's important to us that we always feel good about where our products come from.
We hold ourselves and our partners to the standards outlined in our Vendor Code Of Conduct.
To help ensure supply chain security and improve border security, Aritzia is both PIP (Partners in Protection, Canada) and C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, U.S.) certified. We even require that all of our carriers be certified. We believe these programs facilitate legitimate trade and help combat organized crime, terrorism and smuggling.
We Love Our Planet
We're always looking to reduce the impact that Aritzia and our partners have on land, air and water resources, examining our daily operations for new ways to minimize thoughtless disposal and consumption.
Here's a sampling of some ongoing initiatives, both large and small (every little bit counts!).
- We donate our used electronics to the Electronic Recycling Association (www.era.ca), which refurbishes items that can be reused and donates them to schools, organizations and companies. Items without reuse potential are recycled.
- We have robust recycling systems for paper and plastic at our support offices and distribution centres.
- Our shopping bags are recyclable — just remove the handles!
- In our support offices: we have motion-sensor lights that automatically turn off; we set all of our printers to double-sided mode; and we provide dishware and silverware rather than use paper, plastic or Styrofoam.
- In our distribution centres: we implemented our Warehouse Management System and more than 20 software systems to help us streamline our processes, reduce the amount of paper we use and cut down on waste.
- Travel: we try to keep our carbon footprint small, doing vendor training via video-conferencing whenever possible rather than flying overseas.
Sustainable Sourcing:
- In our office and stores, we mainly use Benjamin Moore's Eco-Spec paint, which contains no volatile organic compounds, or VOCs — chemicals that can have effects on health.
- We consider reuse, recycling and resale when sourcing materials for our window displays.
We Love Our Communities
We love the communities in which we live and work, and we think it's important to share our resources to benefit others. Aritzia encourages employee volunteerism, makes regular donations of clothing and accessories, and provides financial support to causes that empower young women and girls, and fashion development.
Our current community partners include:
Cause We Care
Founded by women to help women, the Cause We Care Foundation strives to provide a hand up to disadvantaged single mothers and their children. In 2014, we launched the Full of Heart social media initiative, making a donation to Cause We Care for each photo tagged #FullofHeart on Instagram. Additionally, our staff volunteers at fundraising events, and we worked with Cause We Care on a t-shirt collaboration, with all proceeds going to the organization.
The Minerva Foundation
The Minerva Foundation is focused on changing the face of leadership in BC by helping women and girls reach their potential. Aritzia sponsored the Minerva Foundation's "Learning to Lead" weekend for grade 11 girls, providing executive mentors, custom t-shirts and financial sponsorship.
Union Gospel Mission
The UGM supports members of our community who are overcoming poverty, homelessness and addiction, one life at a time. Aritzia donates volunteer hours to serve meals, and regularly donates clothes and accessories to support young women in need across the Lower Mainland.
Dress for Success
DFS promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and career development tools to help them thrive in work and in life. Aritzia supports DFS Vancouver with product donations and financial support.

Drowning in work and puppies, I need your help here. Please! My head's not on straight. What do you think of this initial sketch for the new version of Jontus Media.com?
The idea is that the front page will be more corporate with clearer call-to-actions targeting clients with the blog shifting to its own page. We want to generate more of the kind of business we like doing: content creation, online communications strategy and strategic implementation.
I've got my favourite design duo working on the site but haven't had a second to breathe and give feedback yet (sorry guys!)
Something's not right here but I can't put my finger on it yet. So please help me out if you're a regular reader. Let me know what you think. Is this the right direction the site design should go in for the front page? Comments or emails to jontusmedia at gmail dot com would be gratefully received.

Rhubarb & Ginger Muffins
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 25 mins
Julie Stafford's wonderful muffin recipes revolutionised my baking. She introduced me to apple juice concentrate, which contains only 66% sugar and lots of vitamins, minerals and fibre not found in other sweeteners. You can make your own by boiling down pure apple juice to a syrup-like reduction, but good health food stores should have it. This is my absolute favourite muffin, moist and full of flavour....thanks, Julie!

- 3⁄4 cup low-fat milk or 3⁄4 cup low-fat soymilk
- 3 egg whites or 2 whole eggs
- Preheat oven to 180c (350F).
- Lightly grease muffin tray or line with paper muffin cases.

The muffins came out wonderfully. My DH enjoys rhubarb but prefers it not be in big chunks so I chopped it really small and it kind of vanished into the muffins, lol. The full amount is there though and it came out of the rhubarb patch and right into muffin making. I used the honey option and it sweet enough but still allows the rhubarb nip to come through nicely. Also, as DH isn't a real spice loved and I made this batch for him I only used 1/2 a tsp of ginger and none of the candied ginger ask for. He still thinks that the ginger could be milder but thats just him, let your own taste preference be your guide. I used averybird's timing and they were perfect @ 18 mins.
I made these muffins with rhubarb from my garden and they were so good. This is a ginger lover's muffin- very strongly flavored with ginger which I loved. If you prefer a milder ginger flavor I'd cut back to 3 Tbsp of chopped candied ginger. Loved the tartness from the rhubarb also. I sprinkled some turbinado sugar on them for balance and spread with butter- YUM. Made with Self Rising Flour [america] and they were very soft and moist. Pulled at 18 minutes from the oven. Thanks catxx.

All About The New Tactics Ogre's Music
Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata speak.
When Masaharu Iwata and Hitoshi Sakimoto were called back to compose the soundtrack for the Tactics Ogre remake, they were originally expecting a pretty quick-and-easy port project. "In the beginning, I thought they were just porting the Super NES version over," Iwata said in an interview with Famitsu magazine published this week. "I figured they wanted the original music ported along with it, but once I heard more about the project, I realized that they had quite a lot of changes in mind. Still, the PSP TO retains the basic feel of the original version's graphics, so I tried to retain the basic melodies of the original game while fleshing out the rest of the sound. That's how I began my work, but when I gave my samples to [director Hiroshi] Minagawa, he told me to make it a bit fresher than that. So I tried my best to compose music that'd please both series fans and people who haven't played the game before."
Composing game music is hard enough, but Tactics Ogre's choice of genre makes the process even hairier. "Being a strategy RPG," Iwata said, "each battle takes a pretty long time, so Minagawa basically said to me that the longer each track is, the better. In order to satisfy all these demands, I started each track with phrases from the original version, then gradually arranged them as the track goes on."
There are approximately ten brand-new tracks in the PSP remake. One of them, as Iwata revealed, is the tune played by the music box supporting character Lans carries around, a gift he originally gave to his wife. "That was originally my song," he said, "but after I listened to it again, I thought 'Man, if I were a girl, I wouldn't be happy at all to receive this.' I mean, it sounds cursed or something! I thought it went well with the story scene at the time, but I completely remade it for this game into something that sounds a lot warmer. I think it really changes the whole atmosphere of that scene."
The way Iwata sees it, game music is unique from any other kind of musical genre -- and that's part of the reason he likes it so much. "I think that video game music is just one aspect of what goes into the creation of a game," he said. "That's why game-music tracks occasionally sound odd when you hear them by themselves, without the context of the game to back them up."
"There are a lot of scenes in movies or TV shows where the actors can carry them just fine without any background music," Sakimoto added. "I think that music has a more important place in video games, however. It's not purely background music, but something that's a little more 'musical' in nature than that. I think that's one of the reasons video game music sounds as unique as it does compared to other genres. In a way, Iwata and myself really feel like we're making the game itself, and that's largely because we both love games a lot and want our music to drive players deeper into what they're playing."
Tactics Ogre is out in Japan next week and the US at an as-yet-unannounced time.

The level of care that the developers are taking in crafting this remake is certainly a great sign for all of us that are anxiously awaiting the game's release. I'd also love to hear what Iwata's idea of a cursed music box sounds like...

Theater of the AbsurdJanuary 03,2013
Theater of the Absurd
After all the bickering and childish threats back and forth between Democrats and Republicans they meekly sealed a deal in the middle of the night while no one was watching and then refused to talk about it. How much more goofy and irresponsible can these elected officials act?
I trust that American voters are watching this Theater of the Absurd and will vote these clowns out of office at the first possible opportunity. Lets hope we can say goodbye to them all forever. We need serious and mature people in office in this country. It isnt some half-baked joke anymore. We all need to grow up.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The 3-point line won't be moved back -- at least not yet -- until a consensus can be reached on the distance and width of the lane for men's (and possibly women's) basketball.
The men's basketball rules committee wrapped up three days of meetings Wednesday without forwarding a new distance to an NCAA oversight committee that has to rubber stamp all rule changes. That means the men's basketball 3-point line will remain at 19 feet, 9 inches for the 2005-06 season and possibly longer.
At least one source on the committee said there must be a year of advance notice for any major rule change. The next rules committee meeting is in May 2006.
The committee will continue to experiment with a longer 3-point shot. The line will be stretched out to 20 feet, 9 inches, during selected tournaments like the Maui Invitational and preseason NIT. That is three inches farther back than last year's experiment. The lane will be widened to 14 feet at those tournaments, which is a 1-foot extension on each side of the current lane.
The consensus among the committee is that a change in the distance is coming, but it's still a question of when and how much it will be pushed out.
The NBA distance of 23 feet, 9 inches is considered too far. The international distance of 20 feet, 6 inches is a consideration, but the committee couldn't agree on how wide the lane should be if the 3-point line is extended.
There is also a concern that the international distance could change in the coming years and, if that occurred, college basketball would be once again out of sync with the international distance.
The rule change would affect all divisions. There is a cost issue, but members of the committee say it's not as much as being reported. The entire floor wouldn't be replaced if a new line had to be drawn and the lane widened -- the change would entail just replacing the lines and adding paint and a new sealant in those areas.
One source said a proposal was put out to increase the width of the lane the same amount as the increase on the 3-point shot so the proportions remain the same. The concern is if the 3-point line is extended and the lane isn't widened then there wouldn't be enough room in the paint to clear up physical play.
"I'd be for moving back the 3-point line to the international distance to keep it uniform," said Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, who is not on the committee. "If we move it back, it would bring other things back into the game. Widening the lane would help, too."
The committee didn't adopt the block-charge circle underneath the basket, either -- something that the NBA has employed recently. There was support for that among some coaches who see too many players flopping underneath the basket.
The rules committee is expected to issue a release Thursday on the official results of the meeting.

Eight Year Old St. Johns Boy Is Poster Kid for Gun Laws
If there's anything the tragedy in St. Johns should teach you, it's that if you plan to spank your eight year old 1,000 times, you may not want to show him how to shoot a rifle. Either that, or you might want to consider the option of a "time out" for the little bugger.
Sure, sure, no one deserves to die just for spanking some kid 1,000 times, but police claim the eight year old in question kept a record of his spankings, and that the thousandth would be the last. Of course, at this point, to say that we don't have all the details in the November 5 shooting would be an understatement. Even the boy's tainted video confession raises more questions than it answers.
Right now, turn on talk radio, and all you hear is the raging debate over whether this kid is the Arizona version of The Bad Seed and what should be done with him. (The latest is that he's been offered a plea deal by the Apache County Attorney.) But one thing that seems to be out of bounds for these radio wave nimrods is discussing why this eight year old had such easy access to the .22 rifle to begin with, and whether or not some modest gun laws might have prevented such senseless slayings.
Because, let's be real, Sand Land is chock full of gun nuts and the legislators who cater to them. In fact, the few gun laws we do have in AZ could be summarized on the back of a matchbook cover. Some of these laws actually prevent municipalities from restricting the sale, transport, or ownership of guns in any way. Hell, a minor can even purchase a gun in this state, as long as they have a note from momma or daddy.

As a result of this firearm-friendly climate, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence rates the strength of Arizona's gun laws a 6 out of a possible 100 points. We place near the bottom in the organization's rankings, right alongside West Virginia and Arkansas, where we belong.
I know, I know. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. But sometimes people who kill people use guns, which makes their work a helluva lot easier. I reckon this St. Johns lad could have stabbed his pop and his pop's pal to death like Chucky in a Child's Play sequel. Or maybe he could've poured arsenic into his dad's coffee, though this would've required some specialized knowledge and probably a bit more maturity. By way of example, England's Graham Young, the infamous "St. Albans poisoner," was 14 before he began practicing on his family with doses of antimony and thallium.
But a gun is the great equalizer. With it, a child becomes as potentially lethal as a full grown man.
True, if you have gun laws, they only work to the extent they are enforced and people obey them. Yet there is one thing that could have absolutely saved the lives of the father Vincent Romero, and his friend Timothy Romans: A gun lock. Either that, or having the gun securely stored where the child could never get near it.
Online, you can buy devices to render your rifle or handgun harmless from $6.95 and up. Some are as simple as a bike lock. Others are fancier and more expensive. If any one of them had been in use on that .22, then the world wouldn't be fretting about the St. Johns boy, and how he had to go back to juvie after spending Thanksgiving with his mom.
And if Arizona had some sensible gun laws, oh, I dunno, like maybe a Safe Storage Law (sometimes referred to as a Child Access Prevention Law), requiring that firearms be kept locked up or rendered unusable by children with some sort of device, maybe Vincent Romero would have complied with that law, thereby saving his life and the life of his friend.
But the insanity of the gun crazies in this state is nearly impenetrable, so I won't be awaiting such common sense legislation. Because I know it will likely never come. Not in this benighted state. And certainly not anytime in the foreseeable future.

Kiplinger ranks UNCA for value
Published: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
ASHEVILLE -- A new survey from Kiplinger's Personal Finance on the nation's 100 best educational values for public colleges ranks UNC Asheville 36th in the nation as a best value for in-state students and 47th in the nation as a best value for out-of-state students.
Academic quality carries more weight than costs in the analysis, Kiplinger's said.
As its first step in determining the rankings, Kiplinger's narrowed a list of 500 public four-year colleges and universities to 120 schools, based on several measures of academic quality reported for the 2005-06 academic year, including freshman SAT scores and student-faculty ratios.
Then Kiplinger's ranked each school based on financial factors, including total cost for in-state students (tuition, mandatory fees, room and board, and estimated expenses for books), average percentage of need met by aid, and average debt accumulated before graduation.
To see the entire survey, go to www.kiplinger.com /tools/colleges/ .

Colorado Lawmakers Introduce An Ambitious Bill To Protect Reproductive Rights
CREDIT: AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais
On Thursday, a committee of Colorado lawmakers will hold a hearing on Senate Bill 175, or the "Reproductive Health Freedom Act." It's a proactive piece of legislation that would safeguard women's reproductive health decisions, and ensure that anti-choice politicians aren't allowed to chip away at them.
SB 175 guarantees every Colorado resident the opportunity to make their own decisions regarding abortion and contraception. It enshrines women's fundamental right to privacy and freedom about their health care choices, strengthening the precedent that was established under Roe v. Wade. And, perhaps most importantly, it explicitly prevents state lawmakers from enacting restrictions in this area that aren't based on scientific evidence.
"The bill prohibits a state or local policy that denies or interferes with an individual's reproductive health care decisions or a state or local policy regarding reproductive health care that is inconsistent with, or that denies or interferes with access to information based on, current evidence-based scientific data and medical consensus," the legislation stipulates.
Although Roe is technically still the law of the land, state lawmakers have successfully undermined women's reproductive rights by enacting medically unnecessary barriers to abortion services. These restrictions are intended to attack abortion access from all angles, typically cloaked in the language of "women's health and safety." States across the country have imposed forced ultrasound requirements, mandatory waiting periods, restrictions on the administration of the abortion pill, and burdensome clinic regulations.
But if SB 175 is approved, that anti-choice strategy won't be able to advance in Colorado.
"This bill is all about sound health care policy," Karen Middleton, the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado, told ThinkProgress in an email exchange. "Colorado voters have said over and over that they believe women have the right to make their own health care decisions. We need to protect that right and ensure government doesn't get in between women and their doctors."
Colorado has historically been supportive of reproductive rights. It was the first state to liberalize its abortion laws in 1967, six years before Roe was decided. Since then, voters have repeatedly rejected ballot initiatives attempting to roll back abortion access. And last year, the state formalized its support for women's right to choose by repealing its outdated ban on abortion, an old state policy that pre-dated Roe.
On the federal level, a group of pro-choice senators unveiled proactive legislation this past fall that's very similar to SB 175. The Women's Health Protection Act of 2013, a rare piece of national legislation seeking to expand reproductive rights, would prevent states from continuing to enact burdensome regulations on abortion — setting the stage for a future constitutional challenge to overturn the restrictive state laws that are already in place.
Attacks on reproductive rights have certainly continued in 2014. By the Guttmacher Institute's count, states have already introduced over 300 provisions seeking to limit women's access to abortion care. But there's also an emerging push to enact proactive pro-choice legislation. States like Vermont, California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are all attempting to take steps forward to protect abortion rights.
"Legislators quickly showed a clear interest in protecting or expanding access to sexual and reproductive health care. Some 64 provisions have been introduced so far this year to expand or protect access to abortion, more than had been introduced in any year in the last quarter century," Guttmacher researchers note in their latest report on state legislative activity.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
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.
Simon Harriott
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.

By Sgt. Robert Schaffner, 4th IBCT, 3rd ID Public AffairsMarch 18, 2010
Hilton Head Island, S.C. - Marne Soldiers were at the forefront as they marched and drove up-armored vehicles down the streets of Hilton Head Island, S.C., participating in the city's 27th annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, March 14. The Soldiers were greeted with loud cheers and zealous waves from many of the estimated 20,000 spectators who lined the streets to watch this year's festivities.
"I am very excited and happy to participate in the parade," said Staff Sgt. Jerry J. Patrick, Headquarters Detachment, 385th Military Police Battalion. "It's especially great for all of my younger Soldiers to experience a parade and to be thanked for their service."
This was Staff Sgt. Patrick's first St. Patrick's Day Parade. He and approximately 75 other Soldiers from the 6th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, marched, rode or drove in the parade behind Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Phillips, 3rd ID deputy commanding general-rear, and Command Sergeant Major Jeffrey Ashmen, 3rd ID command sergeant major-rear.
"Today's parade was an honor for us to participate in," said 1st Sgt. Christopher Williams, Troop B, 6/8 Cav. "(It) has given us an opportunity to give back to the community and to say 'thank you' for the amazing support that they give us daily. Today's parade also gave us an opportunity to display a few of the vehicles that keep us (Soldiers) safe while we are deployed."
Michael Treighter, a spectator visiting from Ontario, Canada, said 6/8 Cavalry's vehicles were his favorite part of the Hilton Head Island parade.
"I never imagined how fierce looking the (Armored Security) vehicle appears," he said. "They were awesome to see up close."
Operation R&R, a non-profit organization designed to provide servicemen and women an opportunity to reconnect with their Family Members upon their return from Iraq or Afghanistan was on hand greeting the Soldiers.
"I am very, very grateful for the support of Operation R&R and what it does for our Soldiers as they come home from deployment with the vacation homes they provide them," said Brig. Gen. Phillips.

Mats Zuccarello has spoken to the Norwegian press for what seems like the billionth time these past couple of weeks. This time, Zuccarello all but admits that he's going to get far less money than he wants in order to accomodate the Rangers and, indirectly, Derek Stepan. From the article:
"I may have to sacrifice myself and take less pay, says Zuccarello"
The Rangers and Zuccarello have an arbitration date on July 31st and would almost definitely get more money awarded to him than the Rangers right now are offering. He could very easily tell the Rangers to deal with it, go to arbitration, collect a healthy sum, and let Sather deal with the consequences. If he accepts a sizeable paycut just for the sake of the team then Zucc deserves an "A" on his jersey; I say that only half-joking.
Nonetheless, perhaps this could work out for Zuccarello long-term. As opposed to getting a two or three year deal at $1.75 million or so, Zucc could take less on a one-year deal but, with a productive season, earn himself a better contract in the summer. Still, though I wouldn't say the Rangers have done anything unjust with Zuccarello since he first came to NY, it's been a rough ride for the young Norwegian. It almost feels like Stockholm Syndrome that dictates Zuccarello devoting himself to a team that has sent him back-and-fourth from the NHL to AHL with all sorts of uncertainty blanketing his entire career in North America.
Anyway, keep reading for more ridiculous thoughts that I feel compelled to bring to the website. Sorry, James.
A picture from someone I'm not even friends with ended up on my Facebook feed, and it was a photo of a black-and-white dog that apparently she just acquired that she named "Oreo." Is there a more lazy, played-out, unoriginal name for any pet? Go to any animal shelter and there's a 50/50 chance there will be a black-and-white dog named Oreo. Here's an entire gallery of 732 different dogs named Oreo. And that's just from one minor website. I bet if Cruella de Ville called the name "Oreo" roughly 72 dalmatians would come charging at her to see what she wanted. Hopefully Kim Kardashian gets knocked up by some other idiot and names the kid "Oreo" and the fad will be killed off once and for all.
I was watching Chopped yesterday (a cooking competition on The Food Network, for those unfortunate souls who aren't aware of the show) and, while I think it's a great show with a great concept, there become repetitive patterns that annoy me. Ted Allen should automatically disqualify and physically throw off the set any contestant who does one of the following:
1. Anyone who "disagrees" with the judges
This isn't a debate on climate change.The judges are brought in to give their opinion on how the food tastes to them. And, inevitably, everyone has different preferences and biases.Taste isn't something that can be objectively quantified. Geoffrey Zakarian isn't going to suddenly change his mind and decide that your sausage isn't too salty because you insisted he was wrong. If he doesn't like it then he doesn't like it. Even worse are the people who are told not to do something by the judges, and then go ahead and do it the next round anyway because they "disagree." THEY'RE DECIDING YOUR FATE. Is your ego that big that you're going to purposely serve them something you know they're going to complain about and potentially chop you for just because that's how you, despite not even having to eat it, prefer it? I'd bake a shoe and use cough medicine as marinade if that's what would make the judges happy and get me to the next round.
2. Anyone who serves french toast as a desert
Is there any restaurant in the world that serves french toast for desert? And I don't mean some chocalatey, sugary hybrid that serves as a half brunch, half desert kind of thing. I mean a place that actually offers you french toast on the desert menu along with the usual cakes and ice cream and whatever else. Anyone who opts to go for a french toast desert either has no clue how to make actual desert – and therefore doesn't deserve to win – or is using it as a safe, last resort because of a lack of any other ideas – and therefore doesn't deserve to win.
3. Anyone who claims to have the ability to win because of "heart" and/or "soul"
In hockey one can generally make up for a lack of ability to some degree by his willingness to put everything on the line and work hard every shift. Ryan Callahan is a pretty clear-cut example of this. It means absolutely nothing in a cooking competition. Either you know how to combine ingredients and cook things or you don't. Your dish is not going to taste better because you put "heart" into chopping the cucumber. Obviously you have to be motivated, but the guys you are going up against were chosen for the show a reason; they're going to want to win as well.
4. Anyone who insists that "it's anybody's game" or "anything can happen"
The whole skit where they have the contestents sit in another room and awkwardly banter while the judges talk is awful and needs to be done away with all together. But the worst is the schmuck who declares some variation of "at this point, it's anybody's game." Every other episode has at least one person declaring this. It's completely forced and adds nothing to the show at all. Even if it isn't "anybody's game" the producers are going to have the show edited in such a way that it seems like it is. Using a term like this should be like the Secret Slime Action in Figure It Out, except when it's uttered the guilty contestant doesn't get slimed but instead gets locked into a walk-in freezer with Guy Fieri.
Consider for a second that this is a live version. No lip syncing. No pre-recorded music or beats or anything. The girl is good, but Tyson Ritter sounds better live than most singers do in studio after fifty takes and all sorts of doctoring. His body gyrations freak me out, though.
Happy Monday, everyone.

Pisgah keeps East winless in WAC
Published: Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 3:56 p.m.
EAST FLAT ROCK East Henderson followed one of its best stretches of the season with one of its worst on Wednesday against Pisgah.
Photo Galleries
R.J. McClure led Pisgahs 10-0 run to start the fourth quarter, erasing a five-point deficit and the Black Bears kept the Eagles winless in the Western Athletic Conference with a 67-59 win at Eddie Reneau Gymnasium. McClure scored 15 of his career-high 35 points in the fourth.
McClure had his way with us tonight, said East coach John Johnston. He had an outstanding night. He carried that team.
The junior guard scored Pisgahs first eight points of the final period, including a 3-pointer to tie the score at 49 and then on an old-fashioned three-point-play after his steal and layup to give the Bears (10-7, 3-2 WAC) the lead for good.
East (6-10, 0-5) entered the fourth with a 49-44 lead thanks to a third quarter in which it outscored the visitors 18-9. After the Eagles switched to their match-up zone defense mid-way through the second, they outscored Pisgah 30-16. Conner Duermit, who finished with 22 points, and Michael Robinson, who added 19, provided much of the scoring punch during the run.
Thanks to McClure, and a defense which forced four fourth-quarter turnovers, Easts momentum didnt last.
Were talking about a team whose emotions are the same whether theyre down 10 or up 10, Johnston said. Unfortunately thats the type of play we get sometimes. We asked for a lot of touches on the offensive end (in the fourth) and got quick shot after quick shot after quick shot. It just feed the fire for them.
Pisgah built a 10-point lead with three minutes remaining. East cut the lead to six on a Duermit 3, his third of the game, with 40 seconds to play before McClure iced the game with two free throws.
We have a habit of playing better when were behind than when were ahead, Johnston said.
Pisgah senior Tyler Jaynes added 10 points.
East Hendersons girls also dropped to 0-5 in the WAC as the Lady Bears came away with a 47-17 victory. No player scored in double figures with Pisgahs Courtney Mouhourtis scoring a game-high eight points.
Pisgah is the WACs lone remaining unbeaten girls team.
The Lady Eagles turned in a solid defensive effort, but poor shooting was again a problem. East scored just two points in the final quarter.
Easts girls donned pink shirts during warm-ups and wore pink shoelaces in support of their fund-raising effort on Wednesday. They were accepting donations, which go to support breast cancer research, in memory of former N.C. State coach Kay Yow.
East returns to conference play on Friday at North Henderson.

Fractionation of Organosolv Lignin from Olive Tree Clippings and its Valorization to Simple Phenolic Compounds
Lignin valorization practices have attracted a great deal of interest in recent years due to the large excess of lignin produced by the pulp and paper industry, together with second-generation bioethanol plants. In this work, a new lignin valorization approach is proposed. It involves ultrafiltration as a fractionation process to separate different molecular weight lignin fractions followed by a hydrogen-free, mild, hydrogenolytic, heterogeneously catalyzed methodology assisted by microwave irradiation to obtain simple phenolic, monomeric products by depolymerization using a nickel-based catalyst. The main products obtained were desaspidinol, syringaldehyde, and syringol; this proves the efficiency of the depolymerization conditions applied. The concentration of these observed compounds increased when the molecular weights of the lignin fractions increased. The applied depolymerization conditions, which take advantage of the use of formic acid as a hydrogen-donating solvent, did not generate any biochar in the systems.

SCALA_HOMEor environment property and append "
-J-Dscala.home=scalahomepath" property to the end of "
netbeans_default_options" in
NetBeansInstallationPath/etc/netbeans.confto point to Scala installation directory.
I read what the NetBeans Wiki and the Scala website say to the plugin.

With your great help this error was fixed. However there are two new problems:

SAN DIEGO, CA -- Lance Berkman hit a three-run homer off Trevor
Hoffman with two outs in the ninth inning and the Houston Astros
rallied for their first win of the season, 9-6 over the San Diego

With the Padres leading 6-5, Hoffman retired the first two
batters before walking pinch-hitter Jose Cruz Jr. on a full-count
pitch. Michael Bourn singled to right and Hunter Pence followed
with a single off the tip of first baseman Adrian Gonzalez's glove
to score Cruz. Berkman drove a 3-1 pitch over the center field
fence for his first homer of the season.

ABUJA Nigeria postponed parliamentary and presidential elections by one week Sunday after failing to get logistics prepared in time, a major embarrassment for a nation hoping to break with a history of chaotic polls.
Africa's most populous country will now hold parliamentary elections on April 9, presidential elections on April 16 and governorship elections in its 36 states on April 26, electoral commission head Attahiru Jega said.
Nigeria was forced to abort parliamentary elections on Saturday after voting materials failed to arrive on time in large parts of the country.
It had planned to try again Monday, but political parties complained the timeframe was too tight.
"Following consultations we had with stakeholders, the commission has found out that the overwhelming sentiment is to further reschedule the elections," Jega said.
"All of the political parties have fully endorsed these recommendations," he told reporters.
Elections since military rule ended 12 years ago have all been marred by ballot-stuffing and intimidation. The 2011 elections had been eagerly anticipated as a chance to break that cycle.
"Such repeated and last minute changes are regrettable and do not reflect positively on the state of preparedness of INEC," said Festus Mogae, former president of Botswana and head of the Commonwealth observation mission.
"What is important, however, is that the elections take place as now rescheduled," he said.
Despite Jega's brave face, the logistical chaos is a huge embarrassment both for him and for President Goodluck Jonathan, who made organizing a credible election one of his key promises when he took office last year after his predecessor died.
Jega was given an 88 billion naira ($570 million) budget last August just for overhauling voter lists and buying additional ballot boxes, leading some Nigerians to question whether they were getting value for money.
Conspiracy theories were already abundant after the first postponement, ranging from a concerted bid to discredit the electoral commission by those scared of a free poll, to an attempt by the ruling party to cling on to power.
News website Sahara Reporters, run by Nigerians in the United States, said the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) had been losing heavily in those areas where voting did begin on Saturday.
"Are we sure Jonathan is not planning to hand over to the military? This whole thing is worrisome," said Garba Uba, an opposition supporter in Hawul in the remote northeastern state of Borno.
Voting had already started in Nigeria's biggest cities -- the commercial capital Lagos in the south and Kano in the north -- and in some other parts of the country when INEC was forced to postpone the process Saturday.
Adding to the confusion, there were also reports of names missing from the much vaunted new electoral roll, and of an opposition party being completely left off Senate ballot papers in Lagos.
The electoral commissioner in the northern state of Kano, Abdullahi Danyaya, told Reuters he no longer had enough ballot papers to cover all registered voters after more than a million of them were used Saturday.
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the main opposition party in the southwest, had lobbied against trying to hold the parliamentary vote Monday, saying that sensitive materials were now in circulation and voters would be exhausted.
"It is sad, most unfortunate and embarrassing that as a nation, we are unable to get a credible election process right," said Miriki Ebikibina, national youth leader of the ACN.

Family Vacation in Canada's Banff National Park with Fairmont Hotels
August 12, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
It's not too late to plan the ultimate summer/autumn family vacation in the heart of Canada's Rocky Mountains. Discover the alpine majesty of Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can go hiking, mountain bike The Great Divide, take a Bow River float trip, and let the kids embark on a photo expedition. After a fun-filled day, unwind at a Fairmont spa and reconnect with your family over dinner. Fairmont makes it easy with a special themed package at its two Banff hotels: the Fairmont Banff Springs, styled after a Scottish Baronial Castle, and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a resort recognized globally for progressive environmental stewardship and responsible tourism. The Mountain Adventure package gives you the freedom to enjoy activities with a $100 CAD resort credit, plus kids eat for free. Available until December 20, 2010, the package starts from $339 CAD per night at the Fairmont Banff Springs and $299 CAD per night at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.
"See Dubai Before You Die": Check into the Palm Tree Court and Spa
August 11, 2010
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
A recent article in The Telegraph (UK) "chronicles the endless possibilities for fun days and hot nights in the expat hotspot of the UAE, Dubai." The author's conclusion? "See Dubai Before You Die." Of all the places to stay in this over-the-top tourism destination in the desert, you can't go wrong with the 128-acre Jeleb Ali Golf Resort and Spa which recently finished a five-month refurbishment:
She truly is a classy, sassy oasis in this part of the desert, just a rapid free transfer to downtown Dubai. Close enough to be near. Far enough away to be relaxed and refreshed among the peacocks (a gift from the Maktoums) and other exotic flora, fauna and wildlife. The warm and welcoming staff are ultimately friendly, yet unerringly discreet (damn it). Tiger Woods came alone a while ago (probably not for long though) as he visited his "TigerWorld" development of palaces (really!) and signature golf course not far away. And the world-class sporting facilities, including a nine-hole golf course, marina, dive centre, horse-riding complex and spa have attracted sporting clubs, including English premiership sides, to the resort for warm-weather training. It's split into two. The Jebel Ali Hotel and the Palm Tree Court and Spa. Both are faultlessly five star and rightly lay claim to the title of "Dubai's Only True Resort." The food here is fantastic, from any of the dozen or so restaurants, including the award-winning French-inspired Signatures and La Fontana where a sumptuous breakfast buffet sets the day alight. And no matter in which part you stay, you are never more than a minute or two's walk from a private beach of bleached sand and the gently lapping Gulf.
Note: The all-inclusive package at the Palm Tree Court and Spa includes meals at any of the resort's 15 restaurants-- a deal The Telegraph's journalist would not doubt heartily endorse.

Top Chef Checks Into The PGA National Resort & Spa
July 28, 2010
By: Daniel L. Moses
Eric Ripert, celebrity chef and judge on this season's Top Chef – Washington, DC, currently airing on Bravo, said it best when speaking about contestant Kenny Gilbert of PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. "I love garlic, and I use it a lot." Wait, hold on, that's not the quote I'm looking for. Wasn't there one about Kenny, and how brilliant he is…?
I'll keep searching, but this might be a time where, and pardon the cliche, the food speaks for itself. Yes, Kenny Gilbert… IS… THAT… GOOD!
And he's proven it, week after week, on the latest season of Top Chef.
Yet if those dazzling concoctions that you see every week don't draw you into the culinary master world of Kenny Gilbert, than perhaps his long history as an outstanding chef will. At only 23 years of age, Gilbert became the youngest African-American chef to ever run a Ritz-Carlton hotel restaurant, and he just keeps getting better.
Now in his mid-30s (peak years for chefs), Kenny Gilbert is mesmerizing diners everyday as the Executive Chef at the PGA National Resort & Spa. The food is so good that patrons are forgetting that the PGA National Resort & Spa. is most famous for award-winning golf on a luxurious setting. Heck, you'll even be forgiven if you only shoot nine holes so you can have more time for dinner.
But don't take my word for it… What does Eric Ripert have to say about Kenny's food? "For us, it's the grand slam!" Thanks, chef. That's more like it!
