The International Coalition of Cities against Racism Moves towards a New Era
The International Coalition of Cities against Racism (ICCAR) will hold two international conferences this month: the first one, in Nuremberg (Germany), from 5 to 6 October, and the second one, in Bandung (Indonesia), from 29 to 31 October.
At the invitation of UNESCO and the city of Nuremberg, representatives from the lead cities of all regional coalitions will gather together with representatives from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG). Global issues such as exclusion and inequalities resulting from socio-economic disparities; discrimination against urban indigenous communities; combating stereotypes and promoting dialogue among cultures; participation of women in local decision-making processes; and creation of strong local partnerships will be discussed for their importance to the all regional networks.
The Nuremberg conference will seek to transform the International Coalition of Cities against Racism into an effective mechanism in the combat against racism and discrimination by adopting a programme of action, which will enhance cooperation between the six regional Coalitions in Africa; Asia and the Pacific; Europe; Latin America; North America and the Arab Region.
To the east of Nuremberg, another international conference will be held in Bandung (Indonesia) at the invitation of UNESCO to all members of the six regional coalitions. The International Conference "Cities Coping with the Global Crisis" is jointly organized by the Governor of West Java Province (Indonesia), the United Cities and Local Government – Asia Pacific Regional Section, and UNESCO.
The main objective of the Conference is to provide a forum for local decision-makers from around the world to share experiences and successful practices in order for them to further develop and strengthen their policies. Therefore, the themes that the participants will be discussing are:
- the crisis and the 'Right to the City';
- cities as melting pots: building bridges between indigenous and new communities;
- towards an inclusive society: opportunities to overcome the crisis; and
- municipalities facing the crisis: challenges, policy and practices.
The aftermath of both conferences is expected to make a turning point and pave the way for a new era of international cooperation to overcome the long lasting challenges.

THE NOUN volvulus has its origin from the Latin verb "volvere" which means "to turn about" or "to roll." During the past one hundred years physicians have created and firmly established the word "volvulus" as a vernacularism common to their profession and without meaning if employed in any other manner. The term is interpreted as describing a process in which a torsion or twisting of a segment of bowel results in an obstruction to the lumen and a disturbance in circulation to the wall of the intestine.
Even though volvulus may occur almost anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, this paper is designed primarily to deal with lesions of the colon. Eight cases of volvulus of the colon, encountered during the past ten years, form a basis for this study. A personal interest in volvulus of the colon was inspired by the rather unique experience of observing 5 of the 8

Standard tuning
In music, standard tuning refers to the typical tuning of a string instrument. This notion is contrary to that of scordatura, i.e. an alternate tuning designated to modify either the timbre or technical capabilities of the desired instrument.
Standard tuning in most notable instruments[edit]
Bowed strings[edit]
The most popular bowed strings used nowadays belong to the violin family; together with their respective standard tunings, they are:
- Violin - G3 D4 A4 E5 (ascending perfect fifths, starting from G below middle C)
- Viola - C3 G3 D4 A4 (a perfect fifth below a violin's standard tuning)
- Cello - C2 G2 D3 A3 (an octave lower than the viola)
- Double bass - E1 A1 D2 G2 (ascending perfect fourths, where the highest sounding open string coincides with the G on a cello).
- Double bass with a low C extension - C1 E1 A1 D2 G2 (the same, except for low C, which is a major third below the low E on a standard 4-string double bass)
- 5-stringed double bass - B0 E1 A1 D2 G2 (a low B is added, so the tuning remains in perfect fourths)
The double bass is properly the contrabass member of the viol family. Its smaller members are tuned in ascending fourths, with a major third in the middle, as follows:
- Treble viol - D3 G3 C4 E4 A4 D5 (ascending perfect fourths with the exception of a major third between strings 3 and 4)
- Tenor viol - G2 C3 F3 A3 D4 G4 (a perfect fifth below the treble viol)
- Bass viol - D2 G2 C3 E3 A3 D4 (an octave lower than the treble viol)
- 7-stringed bass viol - A1 D2 G2 C3 E3 A3 D4 (an extra low A is added)
A more recent family is the violin octet, which also features a standardized tuning system (see page).
Plucked strings[edit]
Standard tunings in plucked string instruments cover many different instruments which are plucked either by the fingers or with a plectrum. Guitars and bass guitars have more standard tunings, depending on the number of strings an instrument has:
- 6-stringed guitar (most popular) - E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (ascending perfect fourths, with an exception between G and B, which is a major third. Low E falls a major third above the C on a standard tuned cello.
Guitar notation is an octave above the actual note, so Middle C (C4) in guitar notation is the third space on the treble clef, whereas the note written as one line below the treble clef is C3.
- Drop-D - D2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (commonly used by classical guitarists for certain pieces, and identical to standard guitar tuning, except for the low D, lowered one tone from the standard low E string, making a perfect fifth between 5th and 6th rather than a perfect fourth)
- Renaissance lute - E2 A2 D3 F#3 B3 E4 (commonly used by classical guitarists for certain pieces, and identical to standard guitar tuning, except for the F#, lowered one semitone from the standard G string, making a perfect fourth between 2nd and 3rd rather than 3rd and 4th strings)
- 7-stringed guitar - B1 E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (identical, except for the low B, which is a perfect fourth below the low E on a 6-stringed guitar)
- 7-stringed guitar [George Van Eps] - A1 E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (more commonly used by jazz players, with a low A below the low E)
- 7-stringed guitar [Lenny Breau] - E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 A4 (used rarely but famously, with a high A a fourth above the high E)
- 8-stringed guitar - F#1 B1 E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (identical to the 7-stringed guitar, with the addition of a low F# string a perfect fourth below the low B)
- 4-stringed bass guitar (most popular) - E1 A1 D2 G2 (its standard tuning coincides with that of a 4-stringed double bass)
- 5-stringed bass - B0 E1 A1 D2 G2 (identical to 4-stringed bass with the addition of a low B string a perfect fourth below the E).
- 6-stringed bass - B0 E1 A1 D2 G2 C3 (identical to 5-stringed bass with the addition of a high C string a perfect fourth above the G).
- Baritone (older use) / 6 string bass (older use) such as the Fender Bass VI - E1 A1 D2 G2 B2 E3 (like a standard guitar but an octave lower, and often played like a standard guitar rather than a bass guitar.
- Baritone guitar (contemporary versions)- B1 E2 A2 D3 F#3 B3 a fourth below standard tuning, although A1 to A3; a fifth lower is also used.
- 12-string guitar E3 E2 A3 A2 D4 D3 G4 G3 B3 B3 E4 E4 where pairs are played 'as one string'
Guitars are thus normally tuned in fourths, with the exception of a major third between the 2nd and 3rd strings. This is done to simplify fingering. A few guitarists, mostly those using tapping, play without this interval, instead tuning in all fourths; thus on a six-string guitar the top two strings become C and F instead of B and E. Other unusual tunings include all major thirds, all minor thirds, and various other choices.
In standard notation, the guitar sounds one octave lower than it is written. This is to avoid switching between treble and bass clef, or using ledger lines or 8vb, since it is very common to play past the 12th fret on the E string(E5) and drop down to lower open string notes. This is also more practical for the whole playing range of E2-C#6 (on a 21-fret guitar), as it can fit easily into the treble clef when written as E3-C#7.
Other plucked string instruments and their respective standard tunings include:
- Prim Balalaika : E4 E4 A5 (the two identical Es are on strings of different gauges)
- Mandolin: G3 D4 A4 E5 (same as standard violin tuning)
- Mandola: C3 G3 D4 A4 (same as standard viola tuning)
- Five-stringed banjo: G4 D3 G3 B3 D4 for bluegrass; old time and folk banjoists use this and a wide variety of other tunings
- Soprano Ukulele: G4 C4 E4 A4 (C6) and A4 D4 F#4 B4
- Requinto Jarocho: C3 D3 G3 C4 (G string tuned the same as a guitar's)
- Pipa: A2 D3 E3 A3 (most common and used in Chinese orchestra; several other tunings exist)

Let's keep rolling out the 2011 NBA mock drafts now that the draft order is set.
Cleveland was the big winner last night after getting the No. 1 and No. 4 overall picks. Before the Lottery, the Cavaliers were expected to get the No. 2 and No. 8 picks. After losing King James, Cleveland's luck may be turning around.
Cleveland will now have two picks in the top five and has plenty of options. After Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams are off the board, the talent level drops off so the Cavs could look to trade down and possibly get another first-round pick.
Here is what the Cavs do with their two picks in my latest post-lottery NBA mock draft.

Construction workers widening a northwestern New Mexico highway in front of an archaeological site found artifacts that officials may be from the ancient Puebloan culture.
The Daily Times reports that the pottery pieces and fragments of charcoal, burned corn fibers and other material were found last week when a laborer noticed something red and black glinting in the sun.
The Mountain States Constructors Inc. crew was widening U.S. Highway 64 in front of Salmon Ruins in Bloomfield.
Hector Beyale reported the discovered to a supervisor who alerted Salmon Ruins Executive Director Larry Baker, who says the pottery pieces might be from between 1100 and 1300 A.D.
Beyale says he's been to Mesa Verde National Park and Chaco Canyon National Historic Park and recognized the pottery's painted black lines.

Civil Procedure Forms FAQ
What is civil procedure?
Civil procedure is the body of law governing the methods and practices used in civil litigation. It can be enacted by the legislature or the courts. It can be the rules that are used in handling a civil case from the time the initial complaint is filed through the pretrial discovery, the trial and any subsequent appeal. In a nutshell, it can taken as the methods, procedures, and practices used in civil cases.
How do I know which rules apply to my case?
State and federal courts have different procedure codes. Each state has its own rules of civil procedure which is set out in a separate code of civil procedure. Many of the state civil procedure codes are modeled on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Generally, if the claim is brought in a state court, state procedural rules apply, and federal procedural rules apply to claims brought in federal court.
Certain types of claims are governed by a separate set of procedural rules. For example, bankruptcy claims are governed by Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and appeals are governed by state or federal rules of appellate procedure. Specific courts may also have their own set of local court rules which must be followed, in addition to the applicable state or federal rules. The clerk of courts at a particular court may be asked to direct you to the local court rules.
What happens if I fail to follow a rule of civil procedure?
Failure to follow the requirements of the applicable rules can result in the case being dismissed on procedural grounds. Such failure may also lead to rulings and denials which can harm your case, such as the exclusion of important evidence or the inability to file an important pleading in a case. A failure to comply with the rules may even lead to the imposition of attorney and court fees and sanctions.

One of the hottest trends in the tattooing world in the past few years has to be that for the sleeve tattoo design which is definitely for hardcore tattoo enthusiasts only and not one for any first-timers. These come in several versions, the half sleeve and the full sleeve with the latter covering either the upper arm area from the elbow to the shoulder or the lower arm from the elbow joint to the wrist. If you work in a profession where it is not encouraged to display body art in the work place then you may want to consider a half sleeve for the upper arm which will be easier to conceal. Designs of this nature actually cover almost every area of skin on that particular body part to give the effect of a sleeve, hence the name. There has also been a rise in demand for faith-themed tattoos in recent years and now these trends seem to have amalgamated somewhat as many are now asking for religious sleeve tattoos which are replacing more traditional designs of this nature.
Sleeve designs look visually amazing as they involve a great deal of intricate detail however this does mean that there is a lot of work involved so if you are interested in religious sleeve tattoos you may need several sessions before it is complete. It is also worth spending some time to find a reputable tattoo artist with experience in this design and the artistic talent and ability to do it justice. Sleeve tattoos are essentially a combination of different symbols, patterns and artwork that are of personal significance to the wearer and are ideal for anyone who cannot decide on one specific image. Popular religious images generally used include everything from the sacred heart and praying hands, Jesus and the Virgin Mary, to biblical text and the cross or crucifix symbol. Angels and demons are also very popular for this type of tattoo and the arm is the perfect canvas for a full length celestial body complete with wings as it provides the tattooist with a large area of skin on which to implement his art.
All these favourite images could all be incorporated into a religious sleeve tattoo however there is a certain skill involved in the placement of these images so they all blend together to a certain extent rather than standing out on their own. One of the best things about this style of tattoo is that there is so much to see within the design and the more you look, the more symbols and shapes will jump out at you. These really are fascinating and very clever works of art that literally go all around the circumference of the arm as well as up or down its length with the different images interacting within the main design. These are usually multi-coloured affairs which are more expensive than their mono-chrome counterparts but the end result is definitely worth any extra money paid. There are an endless amount of religious images and symbols you can use for this kind of design, but whatever you decide upon, you can be assured that your sleeve tattoo will be one of the boldest and most eye-catching designs around.

Smith, Parker say women leaders need balance
By Kalin Thomas Contributing Writer | 5/31/2013, 6 a.m.
Parker's "Save Your Do" head wrap came from wanting more black women to exercise.
"I got the idea because I was on a retreat and wanted to do a private boot camp for some friends, but none of them wanted to do it because of their hair. And I thought we can't stop working out because of our hair," exclaimed Parker, whose product is now sold in Walmart.
In another session, the "The AJ Zone" fitness guru and Spelman Alumnus AJ Johnson gave a highly interactive workshop telling participants she was there to save their lives.
"You're body, mind and spirit is your temple," she said "We can't live on fumes after we've given to our kids, our husbands and our careers…We've got to refuel and replenish ourselves first."
Spelman rising senior Cierra Jackson of Columbus, Georgia said she learned a lot from the workshops. The political science major, who wants to become President of the United States, added that Spelman's Women of Color Leadership conference is always inspirational.
"Coming from a place where I didn't always have that support and that self-affirming belief that I know who I am, this conference always affirms it for me every year!"
Johnson concluded, "We're already great, but we're here at this conference to be even better."

Seriously struggling with his continued ranking. I wont mention who he is ranked above but seriously could some explain? The dude has not practiced or even seen the field. Is there some secret magic that Kubiak knows about a hamstring inj suffered in June that is still keeping a guy out = fantasy gold?
Sorry I rambled but seriously?
1 reply , Last at 22 Aug 2012, 9:36pm by nkowal
He was pretty good when he saw the field as a rookie last year with a QB who had not played in a year and without training camp. As a starter over 16 games his talent means he could put up some big numbers.
However... he's a big injury risk. I love the guy's talent - I was very high on him coming into this year, but you have to knock him down from that ranking if you're risk adverse.
It's important to keep in mind KUBIAK is not a straight ranking system, but rather projections to help you adjust to overvalued/undervalued players, projections translating into points, etc.

Review Details
Flushable Diaper Liners (Large)Product Rating: Product Review (submitted on February 15, 2012):
I am liking these liners. I have only started cloth diapering recently for my 7 month old. I don't have a diaper sprayer and this makes poop diaper changes much easier. It can move around but like I said to my husband even keeping 50% of the poop off the diaper is better than nothing. I would say it makes cloth diapering a whole lot easier. I use them every diaper change. I did try to wash them and found they did shrink, but they were still usable another time.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

He performed admirably but his international career went no further until the South Africa A tour of West Indies in 2000/01. Willougby grabbed his chance with both hands and claimed 10 wickets at an average of 24.30 in three first-class matches. The talent...

The Donnas (Lookout!)
Album of the week
Now that they've reached their majority, the former teen rockers have toned down the amps, opted for an easy-listening sound and filled their new CD with earnest ballads extolling the virtues of home, hearth and motherhood. Yeah, right. The anti-heroine that the Donnas (singer-lyricist Donna A., guitarist Donna R., bassist Donna F. and drummer Donna C.) portray in song is a guitar-slinging, beer-swigging, stock-cars-and-pinball-loving rock and roll party chick who has never met a boy worthy of more than a one-night stand. As prodigious and boastful a lover as any gangsta rapper, she brags of bedding "40 Boys in 40 Nights (I don't have time to see the sights)." "You're in my face," she snarls at a rival (in "Hot Pants"), "and I wanna break your nose." These 13 tunes (all originals except for a cover of Judas Priest's "Living After Midnight") are chock-full of such throwaway lines ("He ditched me at the Mini-Mart") and dry zingers ("Little boy little boy/ Find some other girl to annoy"). The band's sound is proudly derivative—you can almost see the Kiss and AC/DC posters on the walls of the San Francisco Bay-area garage from which the group sprang. But the Donnas are no less original than the boy band to which they're most often compared: the Ramones.
Bottom Line: Energy, irony, attitude galore

Court Correspondent
A magistrate of Dhaka CMM court yesterday indicted detained accused Zubaida Sultana, a resident of Uttara in the capital, on charge of shopping with a stolen credit card owned by Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury of the Supreme Court. According to the case, on June 27, Justice Choudhury's wife Sabera Ahmed Choudhury (Koli) along with her offspring went to KFC at Kamal Ataturk Avenue in city's Banani to have some food and left the place after paying the bill through the credit card of her husband, which was issued by the Eastern Bank Limited (EBL). After some time, Koli came to know through an SMS in her cellphone that the credit card used by her husband has been misused by unknown persons who already spent Tk 84, 975 from four shops -- Pharmacy Plus, Banani; and Astorian, Posh & Silk, and Shoppers World at Gulshan. Receiving the SMS, Koli lodged a general diary (GD) with the Banani Police Station the same day after she could not trace her husband's credit card. Later, she filed a case with the Police Station accusing Zubaida of shopping by the stolen credit card of her husband on September 20. Hours after the case was lodged, police arrested Zubaida and interrogated her in custody for three days following a court order. Accused Zubaida is the daughter of Ashraf Ali of village Mirzapur in Hathazari under Chittagong.

On the slate: About Last Night, Endless Love and Winter's Tale, among others.
Here's what to see and what to skip at the movies this weekend, lovebirds.
See ThisAbout Last Night
Instead of Rob Lowe and Demi Moore as the couple trying to ignite a relationship from the spark of a one-night stand, Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant step in as Danny and Debbie. They're nice folks – and every inch as bland and boring as their sloppy-drunk best friends, Joan (Regina Hall) and Bernie (Kevin Hart) say they are. So I say go where the party is and hang with the booze hounds.
Hart and Hall are so sharply funny together, they might want to think about remarketing themselves as a comedy duo. As Bernie and Joan, they're a horny, modern take on Fred and Ethel Mertz, a couple of salty-tongued Bickersons who can't keep their hands off each other, as their rapid-fire insults come in like cluster bombs and land with better aim. They also can't keep their noses out of their friends' business. But it's hard to blame them, given that Danny and Debbie seem so intent on screwing things up.
While Lowe and Moore had a palpable sexiness, Ealy and Bryant don't gin up much excitement. The small fire of their initial attraction morphs into the warm glow of a 40-watt bulb after a few months of living together. That ought to make them more like old shoes, comfortable in their burgeoning romance, but instead leads to contrived fights that don't make sense in the moment and look downright artificial in hindsight. With so little passion on the line, it's tough for a viewer to care whether these two break up, make up or move to Des Moines – particularly when Bernie and Joan feloniously steal every moment of every scene they're in.
None of that is particularly Ealy or Bryant's fault – they just happen to be at the center of an everything bagel in which Hart and Hall are, well, everything. That doesn't make for a particularly balanced, faithful remake, but there's still plenty of fun to be had for us in the (not-so) cheap seats.
Flip a Coin on TheseRoboCop
The broad outlines of the story remain: After Murphy is nearly assassinated by a well-connected criminal, his wife Clara (Abbie Cornish) consigns his body to drone manufacturer OmniCorp to become the first crime-fighting man-bot. (What else is she going to do with a head, a pair of lungs and a disconnected hand?) At first, Murphy's personality and soul are still intact, but OmniCorp CEO Raymond Sellars (Michael Keaton) has a plan to eliminate that little inconvenience and make his company billions in the process.
The problem is that RoboCop never colors outside those broad outlines, delivering a moderately engaging existential drama/action hybrid, while making heavy-handed pronouncements about trading liberty for security. Gary Oldman is fine as Dr. Norton, Murphy's morally conflicted physician/engineer, while Kinnaman is a perfectly capable Murphy, hampered as he is by a physically constricting role. Certainly Jackson gets in some nice moments as the host of a slanted TV "news" show, scheming to put the war machines in charge. But given the film's lack of a creative spark, they may not be enough.

Why so many women prefer going blonde
At its root, the desire to have light coloured hair represents an urge to look different, an expert has revealed.
According to Peter Frost, an anthropologist at Laval University in Quebec City, since most people have dark hair, blondes stand out.
Blonde hair evolved between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago. For our Ice Age ancestors, light hair may have helped women attract mates, who had become scarce.
Today, the benefits of blondeness may be mostly psychological.
Teen actress and singer Miley Cyrus wowed fans this week by chopping off most of her hair and dying it platinum blonde. Afterwards, she tweeted, "LOVE my hair ? feel so happy, pretty, and free."
The urge to be blonde may also be driven by deep evolutionary history beginning many millennia ago when light shades first appeared on women's manes, allowing them to turn the heads of potential mates.
"The more common a hair colour becomes, the less often it is preferred," Discovery News quoted Frost as saying.
"It's a kind of novelty effect. The moment you become ordinary, you no longer have the same appeal. There's selection for being a bit different and eye-catching," he said.
Modern humans evolved in Africa. Even after migrating to Europe about 35,000 years ago, scientists think that all people had black hair.
Then, sometime between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago in northern and eastern Europe, studies suggest, the hair-colour gene MC1R developed variations that produced a diversity of hues, including red, brown and blonde.

|Minutes of October 13, 2011, Board Meeting
|Library Board
President Joan Roth called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the large basement room at the Sugar Grove Community House.
Introduction of Trustees and Others Present: Trustees: Art Morrical, Vice President; Joan Roth, President; Julie Wilson; Bill Durrenberger, Secretary; Dan Herkes, Treasurer; and Anthony Oliver. Interim Library Director: Marilyn Boria.
Trustee Robert Bergman arrived several minutes thereafter.
Public Comments:
Pat Graceffa – Thanked the board for tonight's meeting and expressed her hope that the board would approach mediation with an open mind.
Doug Hartman – Spoke for Mary Powers who wondered why a prior letter of hers which she had given to the library staff did not get read at the August 23, 2011, board meeting or placed with that board meeting's minutes. He read a statement from Mary Powers supporting former director Beverly Holmes Hughes and criticizing the board for firing her. He gave the board secretary a copy of Mary Powers' recent letter to the Aurora Beacon-News – see attached – for inclusion with the minutes for tonight's board meeting. He then spoke on his own behalf and stated his concern over the financial and other problems of the library, his wish for the board to clearly state its new direction, and his hope that the board will enter into mediation with the former director as a way to resolve all the troubling issues currently surrounding the library.
Mari Johnson – Read a statement - see attached. Stated her concern over the library's financial difficulties and her encouragement over possible mediation with the former director. Encouraged the board to work through the various issues, including involvement of the public in the process.
Shari Baum – Read a statement – see attached. Praised interim director Marilyn Boria. Criticized those who act anonymously. Expressed her deep concern over the library's current financial situation and stated some possible changes in operating procedures that might help. Posed some questions about the board's intentions. Asked for the resignations of trustees Roth, Morrical, and Bergman.
Jenny Shaw Parolek – Expressed concern over the library's current situation. Praised former director Beverly Holmes Hughes and the library's current staff. Concerned over the possible closing of the library. Encouraged the board to re-hire Beverly Holmes Hughes and focus its time and money on improving the library.
Meadow Sabelko – Stated that her family uses the library often. Concerned over the possible closing of the library.
Dan Nagel – Stated his belief that the library's funds from the sale of its former Snow Street building cannot be used for library operations – only for capital improvements, per Illinois Department of Revenue rules.
Erin Erickson – Stated her confusion over why the board does not listen to the public who consistently attend board meetings and why the board continues to spend money as a result of the firing of the former director Beverly Holmes Hughes. Expressed her belief that the board can assist in the passage of a referendum, which is the long-term solution to the library's current financial difficulties, by listening to the public, reversing course, and re-hiring Beverly Holmes Hughes.
Mari Johnson (again) – Stated that from her experience as trustee on the Village of Sugar Grove's board with regard to the recent TIF issue, it is possible for a board to reverse course, as the Village board did with the TIF matter. The Village listened to the community and responded to the community's wishes. Stated that the library board should do the same and put the community's wishes ahead of their own personal opinions.
Ron Leisher – Stated that he was encouraged by the last board meeting's indication that the board might be willing to mediate with former director Beverly Holmes Hughes. Stated that a referendum is the solution to the library's current difficulties, but pointed out that the money from a referendum will not be received for at least two years. Expressed his opinion that a library is important in the community for the success of the community's young people as they prepare for adult life.
David Verdeyen – Criticized the behavior of the public at past meetings but also stated that the public was behaving better at tonight's meeting. Stated his concern over personal attacks against members of the board at past meetings and his opinion that such personal attacks can lead to violence. Stated that perhaps the board should have someone at its meetings to remove members of the public who misbehave. Encouraged the public to behave better.
Doug Hartman- Stated that he felt that some of David Verdeyen's comments were directed at him, but disagreed that any of his comments have been inappropriate. Specifically denied any risk of violence from his comments.
Trustee Bill Durrenberger stated his opinion that although it may be true that some public comments may have been somewhat inappropriate, if David Verdeyen understood how justifiably upset the community is over the firing of former director Beverly Holmes Hughes, he would not be criticizing folks but praising them for their restraint.
David Verdeyen – Stated that he had not said that anybody threatened violence – just that comments can eventually lead to violence.
President Joan Roth closed public comment.
Approve Payment of Certain Expenses:
Motion: To approve the payment of certain expenses. Motion by Dan Herkes, 2nd by Bill Durrenberger. Trustee Bill Durrenberger stated that interim director Marilyn Boria had voluntarily lowered her pay from $72.00 per hour to $50.00 per hour.

Building Better Citizens: Hobbes against the Ontological Illusion
Gordon Hull
University of North Carolina at Charlotte - Department of Philosophy
September 14, 2011
Epoche (2015, Forthcoming)
By way of a discussion of the demonology chapter in Leviathan, this paper analyzes Hobbes's political arguments against what I call the "ontological illusion," the constitutive human tendency to take presentations of the imagination as extramental entities. Hobbes's claim, made primarily in part four of Leviathan, is that managing this tendency is critical for the stability of the state. The first section describes the psychology of fear in Hobbes. The second describes the process of the ontological illusion and ties it to Hobbes's discussion of demonology as a political problem. The third indicates the importance of witchcraft persecutions to Hobbes, particularly given Leviathan's target audience. The fourth brings all of these together to emphasize the reasons why Hobbes thinks witchcraft persecutions, which elevate the ontological illusion to state policy and in so doing evidence the mismanagement of human passions, are disastrous policy.

In der Beschränkung zeigt sich der Meister (Goethe 1802)
Having reached something that might be construed as my professional peak rather early in my life, I decided to end it all and start over in Africa. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it...
A bit cryptic perhaps, but I will explain if asked.
No compromises regarding quality!
Too full of myself? In that case: being an open book that one never finishes reading...
Again a bit pretentious, but what can one expect from a sentence/section that starts with "I'm really good at..."?
Would be far more interesting to ask me what I'm bad at.
If you want to see the list: ask me for my Goodreads account.
Food: Anything goes, but when it comes to meat preferably something that has had a nice life and a quick end to it. Started with entomophagy in Europe. Not half bad.
Note: very best series ever is Jim Henson's The Storyteller.
A house to live in
Food in my belly
... ooooh, you mean things I really like. Nothing specific really. "Home is where I hang my hat" and all that jazz.
Do a lot of stuff (ballroom dancing, cycling, field-hockey, hunting, sailing) but am not a fundamentalist about any of them.
Really, there's no such thing as a typical Friday night. I'd go mad if there was.
It always helps if you love to read (and hope to see lots of interesting books when you enter a new house), have an active imagination and/or consider yourself a bit of a nerd with some sex-appeal ;-)
I recently found out this is called 'sapiosexuality'.

4 Ways to Humiliate Nature Thanks to Old Men's Magazines
#2. Shirtless Freestyle Nature Punching
What is this, a chump's game? First knives, and now torches? Last time I checked, the only thing a real man needed to put nature in her place was Ricky Right and Louie Left, and maybe Ernie Erection if he's feelin' frisky today. And what's with all these blasted rules? Is this some limey croquet game? Because I thought we were here to power-rape an entire phylum, not sticky a bloody wicket, palooka.
Does that sound like you? First of all, we like your moxie, kid! Second, perhaps you'll find Shirtless Freestyle Nature Punching more your speed:
There's a burgeoning movement amongst young sportsmen today who find themselves pining for the simpler times, when a man's boredom could be quenched by simply stripping off his shirt (this step is NOT optional), wading out into a nearby bog and punching the first thing with a face.
If the olden days sound like the golden days to you, remember: In Shirtless Freestyle Nature Punching, you have to walk into the forest clad solely in pants and pent-up frustration, but nobody says you have to stay that way! Mother Nature's a woman, and that means woman-fighting rules apply. You only owe her the one free shot, but after the first bite, it is perfectly acceptable to wield a rock or uprooted tree stump against whatever species you've chosen to wipe out that morning.
After all, an animal's skull and that skull-sized rock are both part of the natural world. Using one to destroy the other isn't cheating, it's beating; beating them with their own kind, that is!
#1. Controlled Baby Murder
So what does the Sports Enthusiast/Jungle-Khan do when the animals finally wise up and learn to fear him only slightly more than they despise him? What's the next course of action for a man who steps into the wantonly spread, verdant thighs of nature looking for a little satisfaction, only to find passive peace and timid tranquility? When word of your unquenchable bloodrage filters through the grapevine, and burning the grapevine fails to stop it, you may wake up one day to find not even a single ill-informed gorilla stepping forth to challenge your natural dominance. If that happens, maybe it's time to start ...
Shootin' babies!
Nothing brings out the fight in nature like installing a hasty bit of metal right between the eyes of its progeny. Even the most craven great ape will come charging right out of those bushes to help you alleviate your murderous blue-balls, and all you have to do is find and eat its children!
Sure, some may call you a monster, but whose fault is this thing you have become? They took you off the farm as a boy and hurled you crying into the bloodiest war in history. And just when you learned to hear the music in the bombs and see the impressionist beauty in the crimson smear of an exploded Italian, they told you to stop! War's over, Johnny! Pack it up, they said! Go home to the wife, they said! Home? Whose home is that, exactly?! The only home you've ever known is the ululating howl of a man meeting his own guts for the first time, and the closest thing you've got to a wife is your necklace of ears.
Well, maybe now the fatcats in Washington say it's illegal to shove a man named Fritz inside the barrel of a Howitzer, pull the trigger and hold yourself a wet confetti parade, but that doesn't mean the bloodlust goes away, does it? Stop killing Germans, says Gary Government! Well, nature's your German now, friend, and maybe it's time she learned a little something about wartime. Starting with that bit about how there's no innocence on a battlefield ...
Besides, something about killing a mother just trying to protect her cubs satisfies in a way that regular ol' hunting never will. Maybe it's that roar of rage when the light goes out in her baby's eyes, or maybe it's knowing you've wiped out two generations at the same time, or maybe it's just knowing that, even when nature's perfectly in the right to destroy you, even when justice is completely on her side, she's still no match for emotional issues and a shotgun.
Final Thoughts:
Well, you gruesome globetrekkers, you sacrilegious spelunkers, you nihilist Nimrods, that's it for this issue of The Old-Timey Man's Guide to Advanced Nature Subjugation. We hope these tips have helped you improve your hatred of animals, expand your love of unprovoked violence and maybe, just maybe, quiet the screams inside of your head long enough to sleep through the worst part of your hangover. So until next time, remember: When you look unto the majestic face of nature, you know what to do ...
Spit right in its damn eye, and tell 'em Subjugating Nature says hello to their whore of a mother!
Stay tuned for the next issue, where we ask:
Is there a cure for impotence? Science says "yes!" Science goes on to clarify: "It's fist-fucking a cougar!"

With the December 2013 opening of the new Washington Avenue Transit/Biking/Pedestrian Mall, Metro Transit created a video to show how to use this new campus amenity safely.

Walk Your Bike on Campus Sidewalks
We all want to be safe. That means watching out for one another.
Sidewalks are paved for walkers, not bicyclists. It can be dangerous to ride through crowds of pedestrians on busy sidewalks, so don't do it.
This is a Minnesota State law, not just a University rule. "No person shall ride a bicycle upon a sidewalk within a business district ..." The University of Minnesota Police will write out citations for bicyclists riding on the sidewalks, so be aware.
Feel free to walk your bike on any sidewalk around campus. When riding, use bike lanes and be cautious and courteous around pedestrians. Make their day — as well as yours.
Buy A Helmet & Headlight Set
Boynton Health Service has discounted helmets and headlights at a great price for students, staff and faculty. Learn more about Helmets and Headlights.
Understand "Sharrows" On Campus
Sharrows are roadway markers that:
Sharrows are typically (but not exclusively) utilized on roads that are popular with bicyclists but lack right of way for conventional bike lanes.
Recognize Bike Boxes and What To Do
The bike box is an intersection safety design that helps to prevent bicycle/car collisions, especially those between drivers turning right and bicyclists going straight. It is a green box on the road with a white bicycle symbol inside it and sometimes has green bicycle lanes approaching the box.
Learn more about bike boxes and what a driver or biker should do.
Find out about two-stage turn bike boxes coming to Washington Avenue soon!
In 2013, Minneapolis Public Works analyzed nearly 3,000 reported bicyclist-motorist crashes that occurred in Minneapolis from 2000-2010.
Take a look at safety efforts throughout Minneapolis.
Posters and materials will be available at bike shops, libraries, community centers, parks, restaurants and coffee shops around town.

A fire that appears to have started near a gas meter scorched two homes Tuesday near Jackson Highway in Sacramento.
The home where the fire started was not occupied at the time.
A Sacramento County Sheriff's Department deputy was one of the first at the scene and said he saw flames coming from the ground where gas pipes lead to the home.
Damage was visible between the two homes.
Fire crews also discovered a small pot grow inside the second home, which was not occupied on Rose Parade Way and Applegate Drive.

WARNING: If you love old sewing machines, brace yourself!
Strolling through the local flea market with my husband always turns out to be an interesting adventure.
Yesterday we found this random little piece of sewing history....AND, they turned it into a LAMP!
It was horrible! What kind of a person turns this perfectly beautiful machine into a lamp? Yes, it is interesting....but I am sure that machine was simply gorgeous on it's wooden base!
I was completely astonished!
And then, the price tag sent me into fits of laughter!
"Sewing Machine Lamp"...$74.50!
WOW! Let's see how long it sits there untouched...
Well, that was my bit of random sewing non-sense for the day!
Happy Monday!

Crooked politicians, murders, and companies doing bad things to people are sure fire topics that will get the readers buzzing.
But shark teeth?
I posted a story about collecting fossilized shark teeth in a creek and set off a religious discussion that included biblical quotes, fart jokes and name calling.
Always nice to get to know your neighbors.
You can read the story, "Ancient shark teeth in Alabama creeks point to a past ruled by prehistoric predators" and the comments here.
A commentor named named Bo Alawine got the ball rolling with a comment about the age of the teeth, which are believed to be 40 million years old.
"That's impossible! Everybody knows that the Earth is only 6,000 years old!" read his comment, referring to the age of the world according to the Bible. Appended underneath was the word "snark," perhaps suggesting Bo Alawine was speaking with a tongue in his cheek.
In the followup comments, another reader, Jonathon, posted a Mississippi story that revealed Alawine fought the Jackson County School Board for refusing to let his sons wear shirts with the logo "Jesus loves me" on the back. Alawine, an engineer by trade, responded that "being 'quite religious' isn't necessarily an impediment to being a scientist, as long as one is willing not to let his/her personal beliefs influence his/her work."
A frequent poster named Kislath joined the fray. It was unclear from his post whether his name, Kislath, was a reference to an obscure Klingon warrior from the Star Trek franchise. Personally, I hope so, but regardless, his comments, which cast evolution as a time saver for God, were amusing.
"Sheesh. SO many fools seems to think that God was too stupid to invent & use such a useful labor-saver as evolution," wrote Kislath. "It's a big universe; He's a busy man. Why would He do things the hard way all the time when instead He could just install some DNA software to let things take care of themselves as needed?"
A commentor named ghostdog9579 echoed a common theme, "This must confuse the heck out of the bible thumpers...They don't even believe in dinosaurs," which resulted in respondents questioning whether he had ever read the bible.
"Could be unicorn teeth or dragon teeth. KJV talks about those 'animals' lots," wrote JClovesAU. "KJV being King James Version. Not some fairy tale 'science' book about dinosaurs."
A reader named NoPalomine, jabbed back at the non-religious.
"Atheists are so funny. Put something in a book called the Bible, and they call it superstition and fantasy," NoPalomine wrote. "Find a few teeth, attach a date to them (40 million years, more or less, give or take) with no reliable method of determining the age (radiocarbon dating ain't it), and they buy it hook, line and sinker in the name of "science". Because someone called a "scientist" said so."
After a reader referred to Tearunner as a "wise elbow," NoPalomine lept to his defense, writing "Bocephus, a sense of humor can be so liberating. You should get one."

Can people change their sexual orientation? How does the promise and pressure to change affect the lives and human rights of LGBT people worldwide?
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) rights have progressed into the UN framework of international human rights. The notion that people can or must change their orientation to conform with cultural or religious norms has risen to the forefront of the debate on this topic. Mental health, HIV/AIDS prevention, violence against women, religious and personal freedoms all play important roles in this analysis.
Join the UUA-UNO for the groundbreaking discussion on the legalities, ethics and science behind the movement promoting sexual orientation change efforts and its relationship to international human rights. A panel of experts will review the literature, policy and personal narratives relating to this issue. Q & A to follow.
Current Panelists Include:
Toiko Kleppe – UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
Dr Jack Drescher, MD – Author of the APA's official position on sexual orientation conversion therapy.
Sam Wolfe, Esq – Southern Poverty Law Center
Chaim Levin – Survivor of ex-gay therapy and plaintiff in the landmark case against a conversion therapy organization
- Rebecca Jordan-Young, Ph.D – Women's, Gender and Sexual Studies, Columbia University
- Pastor Jay Bakker – Revolution Church, Son of Televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker
We think the program will have a significant impact in framing SOGI issues with respect to human rights. With the recent Russian backed UN resolution to put the words "Traditional Values" as a qualifier for human rights, a values discussion about the rights of LGBT people is more necessary than ever. Discussing the concept of change efforts, religious pressures and psychological promises is an essential starting point to this conversation.
Funding in part by the NYU Social Justice and Diversity Grant
This event is free and open to everyone. Join us and spread the word! RSVP to email@example.com

NEW YORK - Pamela Anderson Lee is in a snit.
She just got back from her appearance on "Live With Regis & Kathie Lee" to promote her action-comedy series "V.I.P.," and her day isn't going so great.
First, her wake-up call didn't wake her up. She was late to the show. Then, on the air, when she was supposed to introduce the clip from "V.I.P.," she wasn't sure which one had been sent along by Columbia TriStar, her series' studio. Now, back in her suite at the Plaza Hotel, she's having a little tantrum.
"I was embarrassed," she announces to her bodyguard, her publicist and her rock-star husband, Tommy Lee. "It was a clip from last year!" she goes on, her baby-doll voice at a petulant pitch. "It has nothing to do with how the show is now."
"You can't trust anyone," her husband says matter-of-factly, then, slumped shirtless on the couch, he turns his attention back to the wide-screen TV.
"I think Columbia wants us to fail," Lee sulks.
She is the former "Tool Time" girl on "Home Improvement" and bustiest lifeguard on "Baywatch." Now Lee has begun her second season as the leading lady and an executive producer of "V.I.P." This has brought her to Manhattan for a publicity blitz.
Of course, publicity is something Lee has no trouble getting. For instance, with no apparent difficulty, she seized the world's attention with her recent decision to remove her breast implants. Her figure retains its implausible grandeur as Lee, in snug jeans and a tight, midriff-baring tank top, speaks instead about "V.I.P."
"I've been involved in every single aspect of building it from an idea," she says. "I've been much more involved than they ever anticipated that I would. But you have to stick to your guns."
On "V.I.P," Lee portrays Vallery Irons, a small-town girl with a taste for good times and flashy getups who, upon her arrival in Los Angeles, becomes the unlikely boss at a bodyguard agency. Vallery Irons Protection - that is, V.I.P. - employs gorgeous, two-fisted women (played by co-stars including Molly Culver and Natalie Raitano) and hunky guys (Shaun Baker and Dustin Nguyen). Vallery serves as her firm's dizzy, gosh-what-a-figure figurehead.
Appearing on more than 200 stations (locally at 1 a.m. Sunday on KAMR), the campy "V.I.P." is a sizable hit. And Lee, 32, has been vaulted to the next level of her thoracic stardom.
There's a knock on the hotel door. Natalie Raitano and Dustin Nguyen present themselves.
"I'm having a great time," says Nguyen,who is new this season as Johnny Loh, a stuntman who ran afoul of the Hong Kong Mafia.
"I was an extra on '21 Jump Street," says Lee, thinking back to the 1980s Fox series on which Nguyen starred. "I said, 'Omygod! There's Dustin Nguyen!' I freaked out. Then I heard he was going to be on this show, and I said, 'Omygod!' I was so nervous being with him because he like knows what I was: I was an extra. I couldn't remember my lines!"
Raitano, who as Nikki Franco is the firm's explosives specialist, says she and Lee clicked immediately.
"During the pilot, we were chatting it up so much! Like, she was seven months' pregnant and I was talking to Dylan in her stomach and we missed the whole bomb explosion."
"We didn't hear 'Action!' " Lee giggles.
"We had earplugs in and all of a sudden, BOOOOM! They had to do it over again and I felt like so bad."
Lee is asked what it's like to be a worldwide star.
"Overwhelming," she pronounces. "But I just wait for when I can get home and be with my two kids and chill and be with my husband and make cappuccinos. We live a normal life."
"But you gotta worry about some guy across the street with a 600mm lens trying to take a shot of you," says Nguyen. "I don't see how you put up with that. It would be amusing for about two weeks."
"How about nine years?" says Lee wearily.
"I spend a lot of time with Pam," says Raitano. "We go shopping, try to do like normal things. But people harass her, they chase her around."
Lee giggles again. "Remember when we got chased at Beverly Center?"
"We were in Bloomingdale's hiding in the Lingerie Department," says Raitano, dissolving into laughter.
"How smart is that?" she chortles to Lee. "Like you wouldn't be in the Lingerie Department, right?"

Samsung Galaxy Note II gets a price tag in Europe
0. phoneArena 30 Aug 2012, 09:18 posted on
Now that the Samsung Galaxy Note II is official, some of you are probably wondering when you might be able to get one, and more importantly, how much it is going to set you back. Well, we kind of know the answer to the latter, and as you might expect, the device will be quite pricy...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Since its 640 Euros in Europe(translated to $800 in US Dollars), it should about the same price point here. the REAL question will be the amount of the phone with a 2yr contract. I hope that it starts at $250 for AT&T
BTW, Tmobile must feel real stupid to offer the original Note when they knw that the Note II was coming!!!!
3. archangel9 (Posts: 233; Member since: 07 Feb 2010)
Tmobile cleared out their entire inventory on the GNote just to make room for the GNote 2 buddy.So they're not that stupid. A lot of good things are happening for the Magneta boyz!!!
I hope Sprint have enough sense to get the Note II as well.
I'm already stacking my chips for it b4 October.
27. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
I was not aware of Tmobile doing that so I stand corrected.
I hope the Note II does go to other carriers because that would make the phone ALOT more popular. Its good that its on AT&T (because I have AT&T lol), but with the success of the SIII, why not the Note II??
31. crankyd00d (Posts: 191; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
The fact that they even planned to release it this close to the announcement of the next generation is what shows their stupidity
2. ph00ny (Posts: 1234; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I've been waiting for this bad boy since i got my note last year. Come to papa
4. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
For 640 you can the device with the highest customer satisfaction and build quality, so...
5. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
i disliked your comment by mistake..........
6. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
No problem, pal. I do not give much about thumbs anyway.
10. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
yes, if there is a red tag to you comment, it indicates that you are talking about apple (most apples are red)
if u talk about android you get green( android's robot is green in colour)
so even i have always believed that the red and green thumbs don't mean liking or disliking, they are only for indicating whether you are supporting apple or android
but i gave you a thumbs because i agree with you :-)
15. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Sounds plausible.
25. Savage (unregistered)
Sorry dude, it is clear who you are implying and I agree with Apple's customer satisfaction reputation, its great but its no way in hell worth $640 dollar.
7. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
For 640 you can get something that is actually worth the 640, not some overpriced price of junk made out of easily breakable glass that can only be used how the company wants you to use it ... I don't know about you, but when I pay so much for a device, I want something that can be used however I want it.
11. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
but thats ios...........in android you can get a 16gb nexus 7 and a galaxy nexus for $600.....and both the devices will get more updates than the g note 2 , its a phablet but it can't run tablet apps..........so its the price makes me disappointed
9. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Yeah highest customer satisfaction from a bunch of sheep. lol
Since you let a little ZING out, I felt I should too. lol
13. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
samsung's pricing should not depend on what apple is doing and the note 2 is very overpriced..........i have always expected samsung to offer good products at cheaper prices, so........even the economy is not at its best so its difficult to buy stuff if they are made so expensive.....samsung should offer better value for money
16. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
And most Android manufacturers get much less satisfaction by their costumers, because...? They are Sheep too or what?
19. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
because they make a wide range of products to fit multiple consumers instead of 1 over priced product.
21. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
...and still, with all that choice, customers are happier with that single pricey product.
30. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Yes but there is a following who is NOT satisfied with Apple products & are demanding some changes to BOTH OS & design. Guess what that segment is growing bigger & bigger.
So you little iPhone is really not that perfect. lol
32. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
And still it is smaller than that growing unsatisfaction on most Android OEMs and has much higher than most Android OEMs.
37. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
You are full of it. Android activates almost 1,000,000 devices daily. If it was as bad as you claim then why is that number so high & keeps going higher? Based on your comments shouldn't it go DOWN?
I will bet my paycheck that the people who are NOT satisfied with Apple is going up rather than down. Argue that please?
26. nofear (Posts: 151; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
Yeah! What's up of Apple thinker, like i said Apple cannot compare when come down to Android smartphone devices. Not just for a iphone and i'm saying is including ipad and itouch are can't compare with Android arena.
29. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
ZING!!! lol
20. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
No, because our customers are actually smart.
Let me give you an analogy.
A company releases a glass tissue box for a very high amount. Their fanboys think that because it is overpriced it must be good, right? Now their tissue box is just that, a box.
Later, another company releases a box that is not quite as good looking, but does almost everything imaginable thing. Now, people that are actually smart point out problems, leading to lower satisfaction ratings.
So, see, apple gets high ratings because its customers are dumb, whilst android fans are smart and can recognise if there are problems.
Now let me end this on a quote that fits this situation completely.
We all know that apple is the richest company, but in words of the joker, "its not about the money, it's about sending a message "
*steps of soapbox*
33. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Oh, im sure that "iPhone users are dumb and Android fans are smart" statement can be proven somehow?
No, you dont need to prove anything... That Android fans are smart also explains those low, falling rating on every OEM except Samsung, huh?
12. FoneAddict (Posts: 259; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Just out of interest how much do Apple pay you? I'm looking to switch jobs and your one looks really cushy!
17. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
You know they are very greedy, so they don't give me a cent. They just make good products.
If you want to have the same job a i, just buy some Apple products.
24. FoneAddict (Posts: 259; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Well an Apple a day keeps the Doctor away or is it Competition instead since Apple have begun this crusade to stifle any remnant of competition in the Mobile market place.
36. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Good products?
Oh I forgot, it's their customers who keep using them the wrong way? LMAO!
18. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
zomg, they got 2% higher satisfaction rating than samsung!! yaaay..
its statistically insignifigant!! woo hooo!
and their satisfaction was going DOWN while Sammys was still going UP. lol.
stupid trolls.. ugh.
22. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Still no reason to keep insulting the most-well-liked phone.
And there is not only Samsung (who copied Apple, so no surprise) as an Apple rival, despite Samsung being the only successful (they copied App... An, you know.)
23. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
28. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Apple are not the original innovators, they steal from everyone else patent it as their own. The jury have skipped the period art to move faster...
Lopsided trial from begin to the coming end.
If fact, many would pay the price including apple fanbase. Apple will spend so much time in court that they will forgot about innovation all together!
38. ph00ny (Posts: 1234; Member since: 26 May 2011)
i already have an iphone4s as well as the note. Note is by far the best device i've owned ever.
8. redmd (Posts: 1268; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
The Note I was expensive when it came out. We can expect the same on the Note II. Priced just right. On the other hand, there is that notoriously overpriced 3.5 inch of a phone out there.
14. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Good price. Remember tax is about 20% in Europe, and the initial price of S3 in Europe was 649 euros.
34. electrophage (Posts: 57; Member since: 17 Jun 2011)
I bought an AT&T Note last February, off contract for $650 or so I guess when they first came out, and have been very happy with it. Id love to buy this one, but I'm wondering if i'll have the chance. I'm concerned AT&T wont carry it since most of their sales I assume are on contract and those first generation note users are only about half way through there first year. TMobile just got it so its easy for them to discontinue and start again when the Note II is available. I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on what AT&T might do?
35. doejon (Posts: 398; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
seems like that thisone is a fake
cuz the specs are from the note 1 on the pic
40. devonblue4u (Posts: 68; Member since: 12 Apr 2011)
Between me and my wife, we have 3 GNotes. 1 fully functional N7000(black), one bricked N7000(white) plus a SGH-I717R LTE(white). Some lucky niece or nephew is getting an early Christmas present to make room for this one. Double the ram plus double the cores, this is as big a jump as the original I9000 SGS to the I9100 SII!

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your most kind mail inquiring after the situation in Leh - Ladakh. We are deeply touched by your concern and the inquiry for need of assistance. All this is very highly appreciated and we do want to thank you most sincerely from the heart for your thoughtfulness!
Despite the wide scale of catastrophe, fortunately, we are very happy to inform you that no major damage or loss is reported from our Children's Village. Except for some minor damages to some of the buildings, all is safe and sound with the children and co-workers. Although the cloud burst was wide spread over the region and the consequent flash flood left a trail of devastation on a massive scale, with the Leh area hardest hit, the Children's Village was very lucky to remain largely unaffected. We must thank the providence for this miracle! ….to escape unscathed!
The small Children's Village hospital is filled with over 50 affected people for emergency medical treatment. Similarly, our school hall is packed with other victims of the flash flood for relief and temporary shelter. In the vicinity of the Children's Village, around 70 houses have been destroyed or damaged badly in 2 Tibetan camps. Our staff and senior students are fully involved and doing the best they can in the relief operations.
Communication with Ladakh is still very difficult. As and when we have more news, we shall not delay to inform you. We only hope the weather will hold well, and not go worse, as reports of uncertainty still hangs heavy in the air. Reports indicate urgent relief measures for immediate medical treatment, food & blanket, and temporary shelter, not to mention the long drawn rehabilitation task ahead for the affected families. For the proper organization and coordination of relief efforts, from the Tibetan side, the Home Department of our exile Govt. is overseeing it with a local committee formed. Our Children's Village Director is a member of this committee.
Once again, please accept our heartfelt gratitude for all your concern and wholehearted support for the safety and well being of our children and co-workers at TCV Choglamsar! We look forward to be in touch with you soon when we have more news from Ladakh!
With all our best wishes and gratitude,
Yours Sincerely
Tsewang Yeshi
