Fascinating German Art Deco Brooch and Earrings Set

GlitzQueen History and Art to Wear
By Appointment
Albuquerque, NM
Guest Book
Sold; thank you! $160.
Here's a truly exciting antique demi-parure from "Cabaret"-era Germany. There's something marvelously wicked about roses in the colors of midnight moonlight, each holding a brilliant rhinestone dewdrop -- and there's something quite magical about the fact that they weigh no more than a breeze. They're of aluminum enameled in matte black, and the ornately stamped petal edges glitter with mock-marcasites.
This spectacular, highly dimensional set is a triumph of doing much with little, and you'll remember that extremely hard times befell Germany after World War I, due to the savage terms of the Versailles Treaty (which unfortunately contributed to Hitler's rise). Obviously, not much jewelry was made there in the Deco era -- or even in later Retro times, when materials were devoted to another war effort. Their rarity makes these pieces all the more special -- and there's extra poignance in the fact that they seem to have been worn very little, if at all, suggesting that the original owner didn't survive the next war (or at least had to leave them behind in the chaos). That they're marked "Made in Germany" means they can't possibly be post-WWII, when the country was divided into East and West, nor did Germany export to English-speaking markets after war broke out, so common sense and the Deco styling tie the set firmly to the 1920s or early 1930s.
Somehow it reached an estate in the Upper Midwest and from there came to us. The brooch is about 2 inches round and the earrings are about 1.25 inches round. Condition, as you see, is pristine. I love how perfectly these jewels evoke a brief but momentous period of European history and hope you will, too!
There's no charge for insured U.S. shipping and gift-wrap is always free when desired. Please e-mail email@example.com to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking!

Keeping your computer clock accurate is important. You can keep it current by looking at your watch and setting your computer clock to that; but realistically that is not a good solution. A better one involves synchronizing your PC clock to the atomic clock server, such as the atomic clock servers operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States. Your current computer time is compared with the current atomic time and an adjustment is made to keep your local computer up-to-date with the exact time now.
Atomic Clock Sync
This program will access an atomic clock server to get the current time with the accuracy available and update your PC's information. It can even be set to automatically check the time once a day to keep your PC's time accurate forever.
Now that you have your time clock synchronized with the US atomic clock, you can look at some other time programs to enhance you system. So let's start with Chimer.
This program gives you a variety of choices for operating an analog like time clock. It has 18 dials, and 33 chimes, there are Ships Bells and 4 alarms. It has a variety of modes for your operation, like automatic portable mode, and a sample mode, and an introduction menu to let you get acquainted with the program. It has a realtime variable dial size with analogue hour/minute/second hands and 3 user customizable dials or hands only option.
Watch Me
Sometimes you are working on a spreadsheet. Othertimes you may be working on a PowerPoint presentations but you want to keep track of the time that you spent on the system. This program is a timer program that can be used to time a number of different tasks or events together or independently of each other. You can name each timer and record information about what you are timing. This is a solution for those who need to track their time for hourly billing, or time-sheets, or to keep track of projects and tasks.

Andy Murray rallied from a set down to beat Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6 -7 (3/7), 6-1, 6-2 to reach the final of the ATP Tour's Miami Masters.
Murray recovered after making a mess of the first set where he was serving for it at 5-4 but double-faulted on break point and ended up losing out in the tie-break.
He will face David Ferrer in the final after the Spanirad ended German Tommy Haas's fine run with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory. A victory over Ferrer would move Murray above Roger Federer into second place in the world rankings.

On View at the Armory: More Asian Galleries
NEW YORK — The Armory Show, New York's gargantuan contemporary art fair, opens Thursday, with far more Asian exhibitors than in years past.
Twelve of the exhibitors this year have Asian roots, up from 5 last year, even as the overall roster dropped. According to the fair's managing director, Noah Horowitz, Asia's uptick is no accident.
"We wanted a more formidable presence from beyond the Western axis," he said.
Asia at the Armory Show
Gallery Hyundai, based in Seoul, returns to the Armory for the first time since 2004 with wooden sculptures by Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei and a clock installation by the late Nam June Paik. Tang Contemporary Art in Beijing is bringing work by contemporary Chinese artists Du Wang and Yang Jiechang, while Anna Schwartz, with galleries in Sydney and Melbourne, is showing pieces by Australian abstract painter Dale Frank.
A stronger focus on marketing homegrown talent, rather than secondary-market Western works, has helped Asian galleries gain entry, Mr. Horowitz said.
Take for example, Kaikai Kiki, which has spaces in Tokyo and Taipei. The works showing at the Armory "are by artists that we have cultivated nearly from scratch," said artist and gallery owner Takashi Murakami.
More In Art
- Christie's Hong Kong Spring Auction Results Lackluster
- From Fakes to Fine Art: Taobao Leaps Into the Auction Scene
- Counting the Hours in Tehching Hsieh's 'Time Clock Piece'
- Eva Armisén: Paint Like a Child
- Carsten Nicolai's 'Alpha Pulse' Kicks Off Art Basel Hong Kong
- Christie's Record Auction Boosted by Asian Buyers
"Collectors here have high expectations and good taste. We cannot just bring sellable artists," said Yoojin Lee, manager of Gallery Hyundai's exhibition team. "For Asian art fairs we try to mix up Asian and Western artists, whereas for the art fairs in Western countries, we focus more on promoting Asian artists from various regions, so we can search for new markets and collectors."
Emi Eu, director at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute, said it is making "a considerable investment in time and finances" to show in New York. It is making its first appearance at the fair, with works by Heman Chong and Teresita Fernandez.
But with Asia's growing wealth and the increased prominence of regional fairs like Art HK and Art Stage Singapore, will these exhibitors need the Armory in the years to come?
Mr. Horowitz called the competition from the burgeoning number of Asian fairs a "great thing." "In 10 to 30 years, New York's share of the art market will diminish in relative numbers, but the pie will grow bigger," he said.
Representing Asia:
- Galleria Continua (Beijing; San Gimignano, Italy; and Le Moulin, France)
- Gallery Hyundai (Seoul)
- Kaikai Kiki Gallery (Taipei and Tokyo)
- Ai Kowada Gallery (Tokyo)
- Kukje Gallery/Tina Kim Gallery (Seoul and New York)
- One And J. Gallery (Seoul)
- PKM Gallery (Seoul)
- Tang Contemporary Art (Bangkok, Beijing and Hong Kong)
- Singapore Tyler Print Institute (Singapore)
- Galerie Sho Contemporary Art (Tokyo)
- Anna Schwartz Gallery (Melbourne and Sydney)
- Starkwhite (Auckland, New Zealand)

The Science of Water and Whisky – Part 4 Impact of Different Water Qualities on Bowmore
I am often asked how important the quality of the water is when adding water to whisky. I always recommend using clean potable water without any aroma or taint. Generally, this can be well-run local tap water if of a high enough quality, or bottled water in parts of the world where tap water may be suspect or tainted. However, until now I had not fully explored the sensorial impact of different potable water properties on mixing with whisky.
Water Composition
Drinking water composition varies across the world dependent primarily on the geology of the land from which it is sourced. Water is a lot more than just H2O. All natural water (undistilled) contains salts, acids, alkalis and many gases making it a highly polarised liquid. During recent studies, I have found that changes in the chemistry of the additional elements can have an impact on the flavours unlocked from single malt whisky on mixing, impacting the perceived balance of aroma, taste and texture.
In the MBD Laboratory, we have tested Bowmore 12 years old with the addition of three different potable quality waters, and have been surprised by the impact subtle differences in the chemistry of the water have had on the different flavours, tastes and textures unlocked from the whisky on mixing.
The three waters tested were:-
- Mineral-rich, with above average concentrations of Calcium and Magnesium minerals, high hardness and an elevated pH of 8.
- Soft water with low conductivity, hardness, minerals and polarity with pH 7.
- Acidic water with higher Sodium chloride and Potassium sulphate, lower Calcium and Magnesium and pH 6-7.
When the three waters were tasted individually, the differences in taste were very subtle, more noticeable as slight textural differences than taste. From the initial taste of the waters alone, it was expected that differences in taste would be virtually indiscernible on mixing with Bowmore 12 years old.
Bowmore 12 years old and Water
When the three qualities of waters were separately added to Bowmore 12 years old, the sensory qualitative changes were much greater than had originally been expected based on subtle taste differences in the waters alone.
Below is a collation of the observations made by members of the MBD sensory panel when the same quantities of the different qualities of potable water were added to Bowmore 12 years old. All sensory testing was carried out blind.
1 part water: 1 part whisky
Bowmore 12 yo
with Mineral Water
Bowmore 12 yo
with Soft Water
Bowmore 12 yo
with Acidic Water
Chalky and floral with peaty minerality
Sweet and soft fruitiness with less peat
Astringent, subdued peat with tarry-solventy notes
Intense with floral and chalky dryness, lemon sherbet, mint and violets
Lemon-citrus, beeswax-honey, vanilla, almond nuttiness, waxed fruits
Brine, cereal, nose prickle, peppery
Textural – effervescent chalkiness, dissolves on the tongue, subtle dryness/alkalinity at the back of palate
Mid-palate sweetness, more fruit complexity- vanilla, peach, lemon, honey.
Less iodine
Tangy brine, iodine, salty and bitter, acidic unripe fruits, hint of cereal
Long and floral minerality, chalky, dry
Smooth waxy mid-palate fruitiness
Integrated peaty/cereal notes. Most peaty
Summary of our findings
- The mineral-rich water unlocked additional layers of floral, herbal and peaty notes on the nose, and provided a more intense and intriguing textural experience (chalky minerality) on the tongue.
- The soft water brought out more of the sweet honeyed and citrus fruit notes, and delivered a softer, sweeter and smooth rounded taste experience.
- The acidic water brought out more peppery peat, iodine and brine with unripe fruits and cereal notes.
Which water and Bowmore combination you will prefer is all down to personal taste. If you prefer a sweeter honeyed taste, adding soft water may be preferred. However, if you prefer the drier/briney tastes in Bowmore, a slightly acidic water (such as the water sourced locally on Islay) may be preferred.
I would encourage the drinker to explore Bowmore with water and enjoy the multi-faceted and enigmatic taste journey that will develop as different flavours are revealed moment-by-moment as water is added. As this experiment has concluded, you are very likely to discover different facets of Bowmore's highly complex and enigmatic flavour profile with subtle differences in water chemistry.

Fire damaged two storage units in the Cedar Tree Apartments complex in Medford this morning, but fire crews extinguished the blazes quickly before they spread to other units.
The call for a fire came in at 5:27 a.m., reporting flames and smoke coming from the two units at 2300 E. Barnett Road. Medford Fire-Rescue battalion chief Rick Rohrbough said there was an initial full structure response with four engines and about 13 firefighters. Crews had the blaze knocked down in about two minutes.
No apartments had to be evacuated, as the storage units are not directly connected to them. No one was hurt.
Fire investigation crews are currently on scene determining the cause. They believe the ignition point was on a sofa inside one of the units.
"What caused the sofa to burn up we don't know," Rohrbough said.
Fire crews estimate about $3,000 in damage.

Robert Alwyn Hughes - Biography
Robert Alwyn Hughes was born at Dowlais Top, Dowlais, May 1935. His father was an overman at the Bedlinog Colliery and an avid reader of the Welsh classics. Hannah, the artist's mother, was a devout Baptist and no doubt had an early influence on Hughes's association with Chapel life. The first language spoken at home was Welsh and not until attending the Dowlais Central School at the age of five that English was spoken.
Growing up at Dowlais Top was a happy and fulfilling experience, with the texture of everyday life, tempered by the activities within the surrounding family, more than likely forming the interests of the artist in later years - the Bible readings - the exploration of the landscape, that stretched from the backdoor to the Brecon Beacons - and of those uncles who bred pigeons and ponies.
He studied at Newport College of Art 1953 - 57, Leicester College of Art 1957 - 58 and Royal College of Art 1958 - 61. He first exhibited at the National Eisteddfod, Ebbw Vale in 1958/59 and was awarded the Arts Council Purchase Prize. In 1960 - 61 he exhibited with the Arts Council GB, Welsh Arts Council, Contemporary Arts Society, Grosvenor Gallery London and Young Contemporaries.
He taught at Cheltenham College of Art 1962 - 91 and in this period exhibited widely with both solo and mixed shows. From 1979 - 1989 he also worked in film, producing commissioned work.
In 1991 he retired to paint full time. He joined the Watercolour Society of Wales, the Welsh Group and 56 Group. He was chair of the latter two groups from 2009 - 2012. He also founded the eNewsletter 'WalesModern'.
Robert Alwyn Hughes has exhibited internationally and his work is in numerous public collections including:
Arts Council GB, Welsh Arts Council, Contemporary Arts Society GB, Welsh Contemporary Arts Society, Royal College of Art, National Museum of Wales, University of Glamorgan, Brecon Museum & Art Gallery, Cyfarthfa Castle Museum Wales and Newport Museum & Art Gallery

FIRST WATCH THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9qEIlNVl5s
Was there molten metal under the destroyed WTC buildings? Fire department eyewitnesses say they saw it - like lava flowing from a volcano. John Gross, head investigator for NIST, denies this, saying there was no molten metal, there were no eyewitnesses, basically calling the New York Firemen eyewitnesses liars. So who do you believe?

Ask them whether or not John Gross was standing by the "lie through his teeth" (as Richard Gage puts it) comments regarding having heard of no witnesses to molten metal at ground zero.
Talk to NIST's Chief Counsel, Michael Rubin, who claimed to collaborate in writing the report (an odd job for an attorney) too. You might want to ask about NIST procedures for investigating claims of scientific misconduct, something they may be lawfully required to do:

A Monroe County man was shot with a stun gun Monday afternoon after he fled from police investigating a Weissport fight and then struggled police trying to take him into custody.
Matthew S. Haydt, 26, of 57 Road, Kunkletown, was gone shortly after 4 p.m. when police arrived at 220 White St., where two men reportedly were fighting, state police at Lehighton said.
When police learned that Haydt had fled, they began a foot chase that led them to 202 N. Main Lane, Lehighton, near the Lehigh River, police said. They caught him there, but he resisted and had to be "tasered," police said.
Haydt was arraigned by District Judge Casmir Kosciolek on a charge of resisting arrest. He was sent to Carbon County Prison under $50,000 bail.
Trooper Shaun M. Flynn was assisted in the arrest by Trooper Robert Kirby, several Lehighton police officers and off-duty Fountain Hill officer Kevin Smith.

Internationally known biblical and Jesus scholar Dr. Marcus J. Borg will speak at Lees-McRae College February 22-23 as part of the Staley Distinguished Christian Scholar Lecture Series.
Dr. Borg is the Canon Theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, OR, was Hundere Chair of Religion and Culture in the Philosophy Department at Oregon State University until his retirement in 2007 and has authored or co-authored 18 books including the New York Times Best-Seller Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary (2006).
There will be three opportunities to hear Dr. Borg as he will present three lectures in a series he calls "Christianity in a New Millennium". The first lecture in the series, "God for a New Millennium," will be Monday, Feb. 22 at 3 p.m.
On Monday evening, Dr. Borg will present his second lecture called "Jesus Christ for a New Millennium" at 7 p.m. The third lecture will be "The Bible for a New Millennium" at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 23. Each lecture will take place in Evans Auditorium in the Cannon Student Center at Lees-McRae College. These lectures are free and open to the public.
"We are thrilled to be hosting Dr. Marcus Borg for our Staley Lecture Series February 22-23. His writings have had a powerful impact on my own faith journey, and I know this is true for many others as well," said Lees-McRae Campus Chaplain Jim Taylor. "This is a tremendous opportunity to both challenge and strengthen one's understanding of the Christian experience, and we hope you will attend what is sure to be an informative and enriching series of lectures."
Described by The New York Times as "a leading figure in his generation of Jesus scholars," Dr. Borg has appeared on NBC's "Today Show" and "Dateline," PBS's "Newshour," ABC's "Evening News" and "Prime Time" with Peter Jennings, NPR's "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross, and several National Geographic programs. A Fellow of the Jesus Seminar, he has been national chair of the Historical Jesus Section of the Society of Biblical Literature and co-chair of its International New Testament Program Committee, and is past president of the Anglican Association of Biblical Scholars.
He is the author of 18 books including Jesus: A New Vision (1987) and the best-seller Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time (1994); The God We Never Knew (1997) and Reading the Bible Again for the First Time (2001). His newest books are Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary (2006), a New York Times Best-Seller; Conversations with Scripture: Mark (2009), and three books co-authored with John Dominic Crossan, The Last Week (2006), The First Christmas (2007), and The First Paul (2009). His next book will be a novel, Putting Away Childish Things, to be published early in 2010.
The Staley Christian Scholar Lecture Series at Lees-McRae College is made possible by an endowment funded by the Thomas F. Staley Foundation. The series is designed to provide scholarly evangelical speakers for religious emphasis programs at small Christian colleges. Thomas F. Staley strongly felt that young Americans should have the opportunity of hearing the faith defended by evangelicals who were also well-trained scholars.
The Staley Lecture Series welcomed Dr. Tony Campolo to campus last fall and the legendary Doc Watson last spring. For more information about Dr. Marcus Borg's lectures and the Staley Distinguished Christian Scholar Lecture Series at Lees-McRae, contact Jim Taylor in the Chaplain's Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or 828-898-3142.

"When we talk about the Confederacy . . . we are talking about a rebellion incited for the purpose of buying and selling children."
Coates recent discussion of slavery comes to a sharp point. We *do* need to make the Civil War ess abstract and less about freedom or liberty or pride or whatever apologists claim it was about and lay it bare: these people murdered their brothers, their cousins, their neighbors so they could maintain the right to buy and sell children. Feeling It - Ta-Nehisi Coates - Personal - The Atlantic
. . . Think of it like this: If you were born, during those years on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, like my maternal American ancestors, there was a thirty percent chance that you would be parted from your parents before you hit puberty. If you were an adult there, and you fell in love, and had a child, there was a one in three chance you would live to see that child sold. Given the fertility rates at the time, it's highly likely that one of your children would be sold. To my eyes, that is little more than systemic, state-sanctioned child abuse. On some level, I'm hoping to stimulate an intellectual conversation about American History. But on another level, I am hoping to make this portion of our history more concrete, and less abstract. I believe the discussion should be respectful. I do not believe it should be antiseptic or dispassionate. When we talk about the Confederacy, we should always be clear that we are talking about a rebellion incited for the purpose of purchasing and selling children. When we talk about Pickett's Charge, Robert E. Lee, or whatever, we should always remember that it was valor in the service of trafficking. Perhaps that sounds too harsh. I don't know. I don't really want to be emotionally distant from this.

Product Description
Many, many years ago, an enchanted forest lay hidden between two great mountain ranges. The forest valley was home to several kingdoms whose rival princes battled with each other to unite the entire realm under one flag. To gain advantage, princes vied with each other to collect powerful magic amulets called Dragonstones.
Like many royals, over time the princes began to prefer the comfort and safety of their fortified castles. Rather than risk their own lives by venturing out to search for these amulets, they paid handsome rewards to those who could bring them stones. The allure of the princes' wealth soon filled the enchanted forest with all manner of wizards, witches, dwarves, goblins, and many other enchanted creatures -- all in pursuit of the magic Dragonstones. This enchanted land is now almost entirely lost to legend. Yet, at a cozy inn, in a small forgotten village, the memory of Dragonstones is kept alive by the inn's ancient proprietor. Even today, a nod from a knowing traveler may persuade him to recount some of the ancient tales. And if he takes a particular liking to you, he may bring out his own collection of magic stones, and challenge you to a simple game of luck and skill and a chance to grab your own Dragonstones!
Fist of Dragonstones is an exciting, closed-fist, bidding game for 3 to 6 players. Players try to outwit their opponents by using gold and magic coins to buy control of an ever-changing cast of enchanted character cards. Those characters' powers collect valuable Dragonstones; lend their magical powers; help foil other players, and convert Dragonstones into victory.
For each character card, players choose the number of coins they want to bid by placing them in a closed fist. All players reveal their bets at the same time with the winner of the auction then gaining control of the card's powers. Depending on the card they may: win additional coins or Dragonstones; place spells on other players; or win scoring points.

"I'm excited to be performing with Biz during the Hawks first ever Hip Hop Night," Doug E. Fresh said. "It's great that they're honoring hip hop music in Atlanta, where hip hop has always been a part of the culture there."
The halftime show presented by Philips will also consist of Biz Markie taking the court and performing songs from the late 1980s and early 90s including his smash hit "Just a Friend."
"Doug and I are going to put on a great show. We are honored to be a part of what's going to be a very special night in the ATL," Biz Markie said.
During the game, Grady will also pay tribute to the care team that took care of Catie Scott, a Hawks staff member who was treated at Grady following a near fatal car accident, and is now a part of Grady's current marketing campaign. Her story can be found at http://www.gradyhealth.org/static/catie-scott.

Most moving movie deaths
Submitted by MarlaSinger on Sat, 10/08/2005 - 01:40
- Forrest Gump: When Jenny dies (You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. Mama always said that dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't…)
- City of Angels: When Maggie dies (When they ask me what I liked the best, I'll tell them it was you…). So moving because of the whole situation: He becomes mortal for her and then she dies
- Little Women: When Betty dies (I love being home. But I don't like being left behind. Now I'm the one going ahead. I am not afraid. I can be brave like you. But I know I shall be homesick for you - even in heaven.)
- Vanilla Sky: When David remembers that he "died" (I signed a contract with you and then… I remember. Somebody died….It was me! - You were missed, David. It was Sofia who never fully recovered. It was she who somehow knew you best.)
- Interview with the Vampire: When Claudia died (So a vampire can cry? - Once, maybe twice in his own eternity…I go on, night after night. But all my passion went with her golden hair.)
- My girl, definitely MOST MOVING EVER: Thomas J.'s funeral (You wanna go tree-climbing, Thomas J.? His face hurts! And where's his glasses? He can't see without his glasses. Put on his glasses! He was gonna be an acrobat!)
- Fellowship of the Ring: When Boromir dies (Our people…I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king. - Be at peace…son of Gondor.)
- The two Towers: Theoden mourning for his son (No parent should have to bury their child…)
- The sixth sense: When Malcolm realizes he's dead (I miss you. - I miss you too. - Why, Malcolm? - What? What is it? - Why did you leave me?) So moving because it came so surprisingly.
- The Cure: When they pretend that Dexter died for fun, but then he really dies. Also very moving when he puts his shoe in his hands…
- The Green Mile: John Coffey's execution (He kill 'em with they love. That's how it is ever' day. All over the worl'…)

I think I've seen parts of it. Is it the one with Björk, being in prison at the end? Because that one was heartbreaking!

Frankly, I was shocked by City of Angels, since it didn't happen that way in the original. Saaaaaaaad. I don't think I ever got over it during the rest of the movie.

For all those who look at the USA and see evil, The true face of desperate people of police states, starvation, cannabalism, death.
You know who you are
We as a world support this regime By not doing anything about it and by providing FUEL and food to support its MILITARY
the COST Of peace with this nation is this.. A benefactor. The abuse, the torture at these prison camps the testing of biological weapons on HUMANS..
This is one of the few things i have seen that have actually made be breakdown its infuriating.
Also a drug state produced opium 500 million to 1 billion a year. Uses prime agricultural land to grow opium instead of feeding its people
It seems that the government is considerably more interested in the appearance of wealth and stabilty than it is about the welfare of its youth.
He then speaks to people with first-hand knowledge of the situation in North Korea: a farmer, forced to grow opium to fund the army; an ex-soldier with tales of concentration camps and gruesome executions; and various people who have seen human flesh for sale.
At the end of this film, we could not be sure of Ahn Chol's safety as he had not met our team as arranged, and we feared the worst: if he had been caught filming he would have been imprisoned, and probably executed. But since then we have heard that he returned safely to China. In February 2002 Ahn Chol was awarded the prestigious Rory Peck award for features, for the bravery and quality of his undercover footage.

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

Chinese Real Estate: Where the Opportunites Are
Before investors can begin to understand the opportunities — and risks — that exist in China's real estate market, they need to grasp its sheer size, said Ronnie C. Chan, president of Hang Lung Properties, a leading Asian real estate developer. Chan was addressing a symposium hosted by Columbia Business School in April. With Columbia professor and Nobel Prize laureate Joseph Stiglitz, Chan discussed the sharp contrasts between the American and Chinese real estate markets and offered insight into the challenges and opportunities facing both.
"Just Humongous"
First, the numbers: Annual new home construction in China is 10 times that of the United States. Home sales are 25 times higher, and China's total housing inventory is 7 times greater, much of which has been built in the last 20 years. "So the first point I want to emphasize is that the size is just humongous," Chan said.
Then he layered on a second set of data: urbanization. A decade ago only 36 percent of the Chinese population lived in urban centers. Today, that number is 50 percent, and every year another 20 million people move from the country's vast outposts into its cities. "So imagine the housing needs of 20 million people moving into the city every year, and project that out for another 10 or 20 years," he said. "These figures are mind boggling."
With Chan's numbers as the backdrop, the opportunities in China are obvious. From construction to commodities to finance, China's demand for housing will be a core driver of the global economy for years to come. But investors who bet on the Chinese growth engine in the past know that things are never as simple, or as clear, as they may seem on the surface.
The Puppeteer
Beijing has a long history of stepping in quickly — and unilaterally — to control the pace and direction of growth, and the real estate market is no exception, Chan warned. He joked about it, but the fact is that China's government has a much bigger tool chest for controlling the economy than most central banks.
For one thing, the government doesn't just control the country's banks. It owns them. So if the housing market starts to overheat, it can shrink demand simply by raising the minimum down payment, from, say 20 percent to 30 percent. If that doesn't slow things down enough, the government can pull out other tools, such as telling its citizens they can't buy second homes. "That is limiting of individual freedom," Chan said, "but it works very well when you want to control prices. These are the kinds of things that happen all the time."
Finally, the Chinese government has say over every new development because it owns the land — all of it — and local officials control all sales. "So how the regional governments sell their land has become a very, very critical issue," Chan said. "The structure that is in place encourages prices to go in one direction and one direction only: up.'
Keeping Up with Change
With the market growing so quickly, though, even China's hands-on government has trouble keeping pace. "The market is evolving so fast that regulations, by definition, lag behind," Chan says. That means government policy can change very quickly, often in the middle of a project. "So if you don't have an appetite for changes, and if you don't have an appetite for the government meddling in your business, China is probably not a good place for you," he warned.
On the other hand, over the last two decades Chan has seen a gradual shift toward a freer, more open market, which is good news for long-term investors. "Most of us who have been operating in that market for the last 20 some years recognize that it is, overall, moving in the right direction," he said.
The Free Market Experiment
Of course, open markets come with their own dangers, Stiglitz warned the group. In fact, he blamed most — if not all — of the world's current economic problems on the United States' market-driven housing industry. In his presentation, the World Bank's former chief economist singled out two primary culprits: bank executives who chased an increasingly risky client base in search of higher profits, and equity market machinations that allowed banks to pass off that risk to unsuspecting investors.
In the past, banks held the mortgages they wrote, Stiglitz noted. That was all the incentive they needed to ensure mortgage clients were credit-worthy, he argued. Then Wall Street started bundling those loan portfolios, stripping the hard asset collateral — the property itself — away from the income stream and repackaging the risk in a complex system of derivatives. When this happened, the banks' motivation shifted from quality to quantity. "When you have securitization, the consequences of the bad loan are not felt by the originator of the loan," Stiglitz said.
Allowing banks to securitize these inherently risky loans created a cascading effect that pushed the global financial industry to the brink of insolvency, he says, and there are no easy answers to untangling the mess. But closer government oversight of the mortgage process will have to be part of the solution, he adds. "We're going to be debating how we can get our housing market back to normal, which means a private sector housing market not on life support," he concluded.The symposium was sponsored by the Chazen Institute of International Business; the Richard Paul Richman Center for Business, Law, and Public Policy; and the Paul Milstein Center for Real Estate.

Click here to enter our New Center Special Website
The New SHALVA National Children's Center
In 2015 the new SHALVA National Children's Center will be opened in Jerusalem. It will be the largest center of its kind in Israel, providing innovative, tailored programs and round-the-clock therapies for children with special needs, infants to young adults, seven days a week.
The center will consist of new physio-equipment and facilities that will provide appropriate therapeutic solutions for the children's needs. The new center will feature a semi-Olympic size pool designed for the disabled, a therapeutic pool, a gymnasium specially outfitted for the disabled, an auditorium, and a cafeteria. The center will be equipped to host thousands of sleepovers during the year. In keeping with the SHALVA tradition, all services will be provided to the participating children and their families free of charge.
The new center is being built on a central piece of land that was allocated by the Jerusalem Municipality in appreciation of SHALVA's work and its understanding of the need for such a facility in Israel.
A Solution to a Significant Need
Commensurate with the general growth of Israel's population, there is a respective growth in the number of children with special needs.
According to recently published studies, 7% of the children who are born in Israel today are categorized as having special needs; two thirds of them do not receive proper treatment. In Jerusalem alone, there are more than 1,000 children per year who require the type of treatment provided by SHALVA, in addition to many more babies, children and teenagers from around the country. With the opening of the new center, thousands of children and their families will receive much-needed therapeutic solutions, along with the support they deserve in order to maintain a regular, healthy life.
Laying the Cornerstone
In the presence of 1,500 people, among them a delegation of American and Israeli senior business people, the children of SHALVA and their families celebrated the laying of the cornerstone of the new center.
The event was celebrated in the spirit of Color My World with Hope and fashioned by the four elements of SHALVA's vision - faith, love, hope and human dignity. The event also marked the 80th birthday of Congressman Tom Lantos (OBM) who joined the U.S. business delegation to honor the event.

Specializing in Close Encounters off Maui since 1982. NO CROWDS – Although we are certified for 24 Passengers we take only 18 or less for your comfort.
We have specialized in photographic, non-threatening close encounters with Dolphins, Whales & Turtles since 1982. The photographers choice, we have hosted film crews from National Geographic and BBC Wildlife. Operating within the Hawaiian Island Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, we depart from historic Lahaina Town, Maui. From December through May, Humpback Whale encounters are guaranteed and the crystalline off shore waters frequently provide a passing subsurface eye-to-eye view. Many people are truly touched by their experience amongst these intelligent giants.
We invite you to come and see for yourself, one of the last remaining great migrations of the Animal Kingdom. And as always, a portion of each ticket sold supports whale research on Maui. Thank you for helping make a difference.
The Trip: Our ultimate whale watch includes expert narration by researchers that are currently studying the humpback whales, insuring quality and current information. We do not use loudspeakers to talk with our guests, creating an intimate conversational setting with the crew and a small group. Listen to live whale song with our hydrophone. Every seat is a front row seat because we keep the whales to the side of our boat giving maximum viewing area. We specialize in getting the optimum whale photo scenarios. Our captains are trained to analyze the lighting and other environmental conditions to create the best photo opportunities.
Vessel: Maui Whale watching on the "Wiki Wahine", a 30 feet rigid hulled inflatable raft. Certified for 24 passengers, we only allow 18 passengers on the vessel to insure a quality experience. Our boat is 60% shaded, has quiet out board engines, and is capable of speeds up to 50 miles an hour, making us the fastest whale watch boat on Maui. The pontoons decrease the boat from rocking which makes for a less sea sick prone ride, and you are so close to the water that you can put your feet or head in.
Guarantee: Not only to see whales but guaranteed to get as close as legally possible. We are the only whale watch with that guarantee. Free trip if our guarantee isn't fulfilled.
Restrictions: No back, neck injuries, pregnant ladies or infants please.
Ultimate Whale Watch is the best Maui whale watching platform for a whale watcher of any level – first time whale watcher to pro photographer. Humpback whales are always a site to see. You truly won't believe your eyes when a 45 ton humpback whale breaches out of the beautiful Hawaiian waters. These animals are amazing and we are so fortunate they choose such a gorgeous place like Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii to migrate for the winter months to have their calves as well as mate. Research has yet to witness a humpback whale mating or a humpback whale giving birth. We know its happening for sure though, because these gentle giants are making a 7% increase in there population a year. That's great news for the survival of the humpback whale and all the humpback whale calves to come.
Other activities we witness these unbelievable humpback whales doing in our pristine Maui ocean are tail throws, pectoral slaps, spy hopping, and our favorite mugging. A Tail Throw is when a humpback whale lifts its giant fluke or tail out of the water and throws it back into the ocean. This is performed many times by female humpback whales that may be trying to get attention from male humpbacks that are interested in mating. Pectoral Slapping is possibly another attention maker by the female humpback whale. She will raise her giant pectoral fin or arm fin out of the water and repeatedly slap it back down on the surface of the water. This is also believed to draw in the adult male humpback whales that are in the area. Now spy hopping is a peculiar behavior to watch the humpback whale perform. Spy Hopping is were the humpback whale is floating vertically in the water and lifts its whole rostrum or head out of the water. The humpback whale can actually see out of water. This behavior is used many times by the humpback whales to view their surroundings. It's most extraordinary to watch a 45 ton 45 foot humpback whale poke its head out of the water. Last but definitely not least Mugging. Here at Ultimate Whale Watch we are pretty famous for being mugged. Mugged you ask?? No we don't loose our wallets and purses, Mugging is a term used in the whale watching world for when a humpback whale approaches your boat closer then a 100 yards on its own accord. Since our boats at Ultimate Whale Watch are small non-threatening these giant humpback whales are typically curious, and will believe it or not, swim right up to our boat. This be far is the most impressive thing to see in all of Maui, Lahaina or even all of Hawaii for that matter.
So if you aren't yet convinced on taking a Maui whale watching tour with Ultimate Whale Watch, check out the rest of our website and read actual testimony from real whale watchers themselves. Lives have been changed forever after taking an Ultimate Whale Watch with us in beautiful Lahaina, Maui. So what are you waiting for? Give us a call at Ultimate Whale Watch to book a whale watching trip of a life time.
Having such a long history of providing the best Maui whale watching, we do fill up fast, so call ahead and book early.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
What It's Like to Have Dementia
Dementia Symptoms: What Memory Loss Means
Some people think of memory loss superficially, as merely forgetting words or names. But it's much more profound than that. Everything we do is premised on memory. When you walk into the kitchen to make dinner, your actions are almost unconscious. You grab food from the fridge, turn on the oven, take out plates and silverware – your memories are a foundation, and they give you a context for what you're supposed to do in a given situation.
For a person with dementia, that context is ripped away. A woman with Alzheimer's disease may walk into a kitchen and have no idea why she's there or what she's supposed to be doing. She might still be able to make dinner – especially in the early stages of the disease – but it's a struggle. Each step has to be reasoned out and thought through. That's why people with dementia tend to act more slowly than they once did.
In the advanced stages of the disease, the actions of a person with dementia may seem irrational. But Beth Kallmyer, MSW, director of client services for the national office of the Alzheimer's Association in Chicago, says that they often make a kind of warped logic.
"Our brains are built to reason," says Kallmyer, "and even when the brain has been affected by a disease like Alzheimer's, it's still struggling to reason." The problem is that as memories are lost, the brain just doesn't have enough information to interpret situations correctly.
Dementia Symptoms: What Caregivers Should Know
As a caregiver, you may find certain dementia symptoms frustrating, baffling, and sometimes frightening. But what is the other side of the story? What is your mother doing -- and feeling -- when she puts her wedding ring in the freezer or accuses you of stealing from her? Here are some clues to understanding dementia behavior.
Forgetting. Obviously, memory loss is the essential dementia symptom. What is it like? We've all experienced the frustration of losing our keys seconds after we had them in our hands. Imagine that frustration, magnified and repeated constantly throughout the day.
In the early stages, people are well aware of this particular dementia symptom. They know that they're losing their memories.
"Think about how you'd feel if someone brought in your granddaughter and you didn't know who she was," says Kallmyer. "You know you should know who she is, but you just don't. You'd feel humiliated, frustrated, and afraid."
What's especially confusing to caregivers is that while the condition may be progressive, individual memories may pop in and out. One day, your mother doesn't remember how to turn on the oven. The next, she successfully roasts a turkey. That sort of inconsistency is just a typical dementia symptom.
Difficulty communicating. One early-stage dementia symptom is difficulty following conversations, even though the person might cover it up well. "Sometimes, it really is easier to go along -- to laugh and pretend that I know what a person is talking about," says Becklenberg. "I guess you could say I'm doing it to save face."
It's understandable, experts say. It's a natural desire to avoid the humiliation of having to say, "I don't' remember," over and over again.
As the disease progresses, these dementia symptoms worsen. A person's language might become artificially complex and contorted, as he navigates around the countless words that have dropped out of his vocabulary. There will come a point where he'll have difficulty articulating even basic needs. "Sometimes, the best a caregiver can do is guess," says Kallmyer.
- "Lying" and Confabulation. Pretty quickly, caregivers learn that they can't trust their loved one's answers even to very basic questions like "What did you have for lunch?" These apparent lies can make caregivers feel betrayed and angry.
