IAJE Day 2 - The Gil Evans Commission
January 15, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: alto flute, bass clarinet, clay jenkins, expense paid trip, foundation award, gil evans, harmonic material, herb alpert, honoree, IAJE 2008, iaje conference, interjections, jazz composer, jim white drums, johannesen, josh jackson, major thirds, maria schneider, peter sommer, tenor saxophone, time signatures
Each year, IAJE and the Herb Alpert Foundation award the esteemed Gil Evans Commission, honoring an emerging jazz composer. In addition to a modest fellowship, the honoree receives an all-expense paid trip to the IAJE conference to showcase the work. Past winners include Maria Schneider and John Hollenbeck.
This years winner is Wil Swindler, a Denver-based saxophonist and composer. Swinder brought presented his commissioned work, "Glass," featuring his Elevenet. They are - Wil Swindler (Alto Saxophone), Peter Sommer (Tenor Saxophone), Art Bouton (Alto Flute), April Johannesen (Bass Clarinet), Al Hood, Clay Jenkins (Trumpets), Jason Johnston (French Horn), Dave Stamps (Trombone), Gary Mayne (Tuba), Dana Landry (Piano), Erik Applegate (Bass), Jim White (Drums).
I asked Wil to describe the ideas behind his composition. Here's what he said:
This piece is composed on a four-note melodic cell transposed by major thirds to create a 12-note collection out of which the melodic and much of the harmonic material presents itself. It passes through a variety of time signatures and rhythmic feels, never straying from the four note cell and its derivative motives. Keep an ear out for the use of ensemble interjections during the alto solo - it is an acoustic representation of how a soloist might use a harmonization pedal to supplement some improvised lines.
Check out an audience recording of "Glass":

Our romantic February wine pick has a garnet color and is great for hearty food pairings.
Whiplash 2009 Redemption Proprietary Red Wine Blend (California; $11)
California red blends on the inexpensive side are often soft and fruity and not much else. In my experience, too many fuzz up the tongue with sweet, berry-compote notes that can put my palate to sleep and diminish the pleasures of the meal to come.
Not so with Whiplash Redemption. I knew I�d like this blend of Syrah, Barbera, and Zinfandel the minute I poured it into my glass. The shimmery garnet color promised a certain brightness I seek in the finish of a food-able red (thank you, Barbera!) And yet, there�s plenty of ripe fruit here, too (hats off to you, Syrah and Zinfandel). In short, it�s a lush, smooth wine with a vibrant finish�at a great price.
Look for the Label:
Recipe Parings: Whiplash Redemption Red�s combination of ripe fruit and refreshing brightness will make it go well with many dishes, especially weeknight pizzas and pastas. A few suggestions:

Basic Ragdoll Information
- Lifespan: 15 - 25 years
- Weight: 15 - 20 pounds
Medical Conditions Seen in Ragdoll
Ragdoll Traits
- Lap Cat
- Intelligence
- Ease of Training
- Grooming Requirements
- Shedding
- Good with Children
- Good with Dogs
- Chattiness
Ragdoll History
- Credit Ann Baker, a Persian cat breeder from Riverside, California for developing the Ragdoll in the 1960s. She bred a stray, domestic longhaired white cat named Josephine with male cats she owned. The kittens displayed sweet temperaments, pleasing looks and non-matting coats.
- Baker purposely selected cats with the look and temperament she wanted for her breeding program to create the Ragdoll standard now accepted today.
- Identified as one of the fastest-growing breeds in The International Cat Association - second only to the Bengal.
- After many years, this breed was finally recognized by the Cat Fanciers Association in 1993 in the miscellaneous class.
- Today, Ragdolls have earned championship status in all associations except CFA. In CFA, the bi-colors may be shown in the miscellaneous class. The color point and mitted patterns can be registered, but not shown.
Ragdoll Behavior Concerns
- Possess a relaxed, gentle temperament.
- Ragdolls tend to behave politely around children and seniors.
- Fits in nicely in multi-pet households that even include dogs.
- They prefer hanging out on the floor and low-lying spots in the house to being perched on high shelves or tops of refrigerators.
- Male Ragdolls can tip the scale up to 20 pounds, but they are anything but feline bullies.
- Fascinated by water and have been known to leap into full bathtubs or sit on the edge of the tub while their people bathe.
- Referred to as "puppy cats" because of their tendency to happily shadow their favorite people from room to room and maintain playfulness well into adulthood.
- Prone to be overly trusting, so it is important to keep them indoors or supervised when outdoors for their own safety. They possess a non-fighting instinct.
- Capable of easily mastering obedience commands and tricks.
Look of Ragdolls
- Ragdolls sport light-colored coats with Siamese-like points. The coats are medium to long and feel like rabbit fur.
- This breed's big body is muscular and well boned. A fatty pad under the abdomen is common in Ragdolls.
- Its wedge-shaped head feature wide-set ears, a well-defined chin and big, oval-shaped blue eyes.
- All Ragdoll kittens are born white with colors slowly appearing as they age.
- This breed takes up to four years to fully mature.
Grooming Ragdoll Cats
- Its satin-soft coat sheds minimally and does not mat.
- Comb coat weekly to remove loose hairs.
Suggested Nutritional Needs for Ragdolls
- Prone to obesity because they are not active cats.
Fun Facts of Ragdolls
- This breed's Ragdoll name came about from the popular misconception that these cats go completely limp and relax when picked up.
- Female Ragdolls are often nicknamed "Daughters of Josephine."
- The Algonquin Hotel in New York City has kept a cat as its lobby mascot since the 1930s. The current one is a Ragdoll named Matilda.
Did you know?
- A decrease in cat grooming behavior may indicate they are in pain.
- Some cat parasites are transferable to humans.

Urbanauts, Systemic installation. Photo courtesy of the artists.
This event is expired.
Gallery Hours
October 2–November 3
Wednesdays–Sundays, 1–5 pm, plus Friday Nights 6–8:30 pm (artists on site Wednesdays-Fridays)
Closing Reception: October 18, 2013, 6–8:30 pm
The Urbanauts—Sean Orlando and Matthew Passmore (Rebar)——are back at the deYoung Museum for the final phase of their Artist Fellows project: Artifice
Hidden in plain sight or buried just beneath our feet is a complex system of pipes, valves, drains, and pumps. Contemporary society relies on this expansive engineered network in fundamental ways that it sometimes takes for granted. But for the careful observer, there is evidence of a more complex system just below perception -- beyond the visible "tip of the iceberg"—a massive network of infrastructure, as out of mind as it is out of sight. What does it mean to live in an urban habitat so relatively removed from the everyday reality of this infrastructure? How do hidden systems affect our choices about resource consumption and waste production?
To explore these questions and others, the Urbanauts cast a narrative about urban exploration and the mysteries of unseen structures. Over the past 18 months they have explored, mapped, and catalogued their explorations and generated a series of sculptural works based upon the form and materials of infrastructural systems.
In October 2013 the Urbanauts will create the final phase of this exploration: Artifice. In collaboration with the Black Rock Arts Foundation, the official supporting organization of the fellowship, the Urbanauts identify several sites around the city and install site-specific temporary public artworks that will act parasitically—attaching to existing infrastructure throughout the city—to simultaneously blend in with the urban landscape and reveal the inherent beauty and craft of these critical systemic structures. The Kimball Education Gallery will display photographs of these artworks, along with a selection of tools and equipment used by urban explorers, and a collection of artifacts discovered through excursions around the Bay Area.

Most of the time, animal shelter workers can accurately guess a cat's age if she was brought to the shelter with no information. Veterinarians can usually estimate a stray or adopted cat's age based on several physical factors. Using these tips, you may be able to determine the age of a feline you have taken into your home.
Cat's lifespan
Before you examine your cat to figure out her age, it's important to have a basic understanding of a cat's lifespan. According to Catster.com, many people incorrectly assume that cats age seven years for every one human year. In fact, felines age much faster than that in their first two years of life - they reach the approximate age of 15 during their first year, then by age 2, they are approximately 24 in human years. Each year after that, your cat will age about four years to every human calendar year. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that cats usually live 12 to 14 years, but can live much longer if you take steps to prevent pet health concerns such as parasites, dental issues and obesity in cats.
How you can determine age
You can generally tell a cat's age by her teeth, muscle tone, coat and eyes.
• Teeth. Assuming the previous owner was negligent about teeth cleaning for cats, or the cat never had an owner to brush her teeth, older cats usually have more staining than younger felines. A cat who has a set of permanent, white teeth is about a year old, according to Catster.com. Some yellowing would indicate an age between 1 and 2, tartar build up points to an age closer to 5, and missing teeth can be proof of a senior cat.
• Muscle. Older cats may be bony with protruding shoulder blades and hanging skin, while younger cats have muscle definition because they tend to be more active.
• Coat. A younger cat typically has a soft, fine coat, but with age, a feline's fur can become thicker, coarser and have patches of gray or white.
• Eyes. A healthy, young cat will have bright, clear eyes with no tearing or discharge. Cats over the age of 12 can have some cloudiness in their eyes, and their irises may appear jagged instead of smooth like a younger feline.
A cat's physical characteristics can be affected if she has led a hard outdoor life or if she has a medical condition. Your veterinarian will be able to give your cat a full exam and determine her age as well as diagnose any health problems that may need to be treated to give her the best life possible.

Mexican Law & Rights
Buying & Owning Real Estate in Mexico
History of Buying Property in Mexico
In 1917 despite all of the sparring between the Mexican government and the Mexican rebels, Carranza got a convention together in Queretaro to formulate political and social goals. The result was the constitution of 1917.
The constitution, among other things, gave communal or ejido land to every Mexican village. This land was given by the government to the villages for use only and could never be sold away to the highest bidder. All land was to be either communal land for use only or owned by Mexican Nationals only.This law was greatly placed in effect for the past problems with the Spanish, French and Americans, controlling both land and waterways in Mexico.
In 1973, a constitutional amendment known as the Foreign Investment Law allowed foreigners to purchase property anywhere in Mexico, except in the restricted zone. The restricted zone, stated in article 27, is 50 km (32 miles) from the coast during high tide and 100 km (64 miles) from any border. The largest problem with this amendment is that most of the foreigners wanted to purchase specifically in the coastal and border areas. In January of 1994 NAFTA had been finalized and President Bill Clinton gave a multibillion-dollar loan to Mexico. In succession with NAFTA, Mexico passed another amendment to the constitution that foreigners could now own property in the restricted zone with a bank trust or fideicomiso. The trust system circumvents the constitution allowing foreigners to legally own in the restricted zone.
Purchasing Property
Purchasing property within 32 miles of the coast or within 64 miles of the border requires the property be purchased with a bank trust deed or fideicomiso. The bank (know as the trustee) holds the trust deed for the person or persons purchasing the property (known as the beneficiaries). This property is not part of the bank's assets and cannot be subject to any lien or attachment for any bank obligations. The beneficiaries have all ownership rights to the property and may sell, lease, mortgage or pass on to their heirs as desired under law.
A bank trust is not a lease. The Mexican government established the trust agreement as a way of protecting foreigners interested in owning property in Mexico. The reasoning was that by making ownership pass through the trust process, there would be an automatic review of the transaction to ensure it was legal and unencumbered. The bank is required to check ownership, insurance and indebtedness of the property, providing further protection to the foreign owner. In the past numerous foreigners have purchased property, illegally and with liens unknowingly. At that time there was no way to protect the foreigners because there was no check and balance system.
A trust may be granted and extended in 50-year periods. If you purchase property currently held in a trust deed, a new 50-year period can be established or the existing trust deed may be assigned to the purchaser. Trusts are renewable at any time by simple application with the bank.
It was never the intent that these properties pass back to the government at the end of the trust period. This is a common misconception and fear of most buyers. In fact at the end of the 50-year period the owner has an additional 10 years to renew the trust with the bank.
So, What Do I need?
One of the most commonly asked questions by everyone. To purchase property the buyer needs a photo id, preferably a passport and the tourist visa received upon entering the country. If a buyer wants to live in Mexico for more than six months at a time they might want to apply for a different immigration status of FM3 or FM2. See the section on
for more details.
Trustee Fees
There is a fee of a few hundred dollars to open a trust account as well as an annual fee as long as the trust exists. It's wise to check with several financial institutions on actual fees to set up the trust as they can vary from bank to bank. These trust fees pay for establishing the paperwork and handling some (but not all) government reporting on behalf of the buyer each year.
To open a trust account a buyer will need the accepted offer for purchase, a photo ID and 10% of the purchase price of the new home. At that time buyers will also receive wire transfer instructions from the bank setting up the trust so that any remaining money owed to the bank can be received directly. Do not give anyone any money that is not being handled by a bank escrow representative. Buyers should sign a bank trust contract with a banking official at the time the initial set up deposit is made.
Property Tax
Taxes are typically very low in Mexico as a whole. The property tax - known as "predial" is .1% of the assessed value of the property. Taxes are paid annually with the assessed value determined at the time of sale. If a purchased property has an assessed value equivalent of of US$100,000 (valuations are always in Mexican Pesos) the annual tax rate would be US$100. The reason property taxes are so low is that they have never been considered a source of revenue for Mexican government entities. However, this is beginning to change throughout the country as government entities like cities and States search for new funding sources to be able to provide better education and city services for residents. Be sure to review taxing policies in the particular area of interest before purchasing a property.
The Closing Process
The property sale closing process takes between 30 to 45 days. While awaiting the final closing, the bank sets up an escrow account, a Notario prepares the legal deed and closing papers and checks if there are any liens or problems with the title of the property.
Closing costs are paid by the buyer and are usually about 6%-8% of the total purchase price. 2% sales tax to the Mexican government, 4% to other closing costs such as title search, attorneys fees, filing of all legal documents and closing deal.
Always ask all parties involved (notaries, attorneys, bank, agents) for a written, itemized, good faith estimate of the closing costs for any property purchase. Buyers have a right to know what closing costs will be as the time approaches. The seller is responsible for his or her capital gains tax and any real estate fees owed on the property at the time of sale. The buyer does not have to be present at the time of closing the sale. However, a limited power of attorney prepared by a Mexican Notario in advance will need to be given to the party designated to execute the closing process for a buyer in their absence.
Remember you are buying in a foreign country. Things work a little slower and a lot different here. Do not get frustrated; enjoy the education and the dream of your home in Mexico.
The Notario
The Notario is a government appointed official that helps to close and educate buyers through the closing process. The notary represents a high level of legal standing and their services are required for the transfer of real estate property. The Notario is the attorney of record and the unbiased, official representative of the government. A Notario has a fiduciary responsibility to both parties and sanctions the contract from a tax and legal point of view. A Notario must first be an attorney and then must take special instruction in real estate law to become a Notario. Once he has finished his instruction the attorney must then be appointed by the government. This "Notario designation" can also be taken away by the government should he not follow the rules and regulations. Ask others in your area for the names of Notarios that are known and trusted.
The above is a THEORECTICAL explanation of what a Mexican Notario is and should do during a property transaction. But the sad fact is, as many throughout Mexico and in Cozumel have learned, Notarios can be some of the most corrupt and unscrupulous "white collar" thieves in Mexico. Select a Notario with extreme caution especially in Cozumel and never fall victim to believing a Notario represents you or your interests.
Property Ownership as a Corporation
This is a question that is very frequently asked. In 1994 change in the Mexican Foreign Investment Law allowed a Mexican corporation to be 100% foreign owned. An individual is, by establishing a corporation to purchase property, allowed to own title, without a bank trust in a restricted zone. This is a great benefit for foreign business owners. However, this is not the answer for everyone. Commercial property carries higher water, electric and phone rates. And additional government reporting and tax payments are required of corporations that do not apply to individuals. It is stipulated that a single-family residence cannot be owned by a corporation but of course there are several ways to circumvent this if appropriate. The government has cracked down on corporations purchasing property unless it is actually for business use such as for office space. The trust deed is just as safe and less problems with the government.
Maintaining Your Property
Many property owners leave their property unoccupied for some time during the year. Condo owners pay monthly fees and on site managers will maintain the property area in the absence of owners. Individual homeowners should consider hiring a property management agent to handle the upkeep and bills of the property during their absence.
There are many property management services in Cozumel so interview several and understand clearly what fees are involved. NEVER utilize anyone to manage a property who isn't an actual property manager in the business of professional management. Often times, a nice waiter in a restaurant or a boat captain or other "island friend" will offer to care for a property in order to earn a little extra income. These situations rarely end well and typically spell the end to friendships made. So do the professional thing and hire a professional property management company to care for a new island home.
Just like in the US, there are various types of insurance available in Mexico such as health, life, auto and property insurance. While the only legally required insurance in Mexico is auto insurance, the premium rates are relatively low on all types of insurance and should be purchased for maximum peace of mind. Some regions of Mexico do not have many agents to select from but review the local phone directory or ask others in your area for a reference to a reputable insurance company.
Financing & The Buying Process
Real estate transactions in Mexico have historically been all cash deals. Recently, the Mexican market has been opened up to financing. There are different types of financing available through the many financing companies available. They can also help you with second home tax breaks in the U.S.
If you are not fluent in Spanish, you should request a side-by-side translation in English so you understand exactly what you are signing. Buying in a foreign country is very difficult so the translation is worth the money in order to make you feel more comfortable.
To start the loan process with a mortgage company, typically a buyer will need to answer a few simple questions such as legal name, address, employer, job title, years of employment, annual income, savings and investments and then some idea of the mortgage parameters in mind. For example, how many years, what level of payments can be sustained, etc. Once the Sales Offer made has been accepted, a contract must be drafted by an attorney or sometimes a Notario will do this if asked. In order for any contract to be legal and binging in Mexico, it must be written in Spanish.
Once the Sales Offer is signed by both parties (the buyer and the seller) and witnessed, a legal contract actually exists.
The Accepted Offer is combined with 10% of the purchase price for a deposit (or earnest money). Typically the funds can be held in an escrow account set up at the bank for the buyer. The funds deposited can be used to start the sale closing process by ordering all of the legal documents such as appraisal, survey and title search. The remaining money should be held in the buyer's escrow account until the day of signing the deed (or escritura).
In order to obtain the deed (Escritura), the buyer, along with the Notario and the bank escrow officer will work to complete the following steps:
Ensure the property is free and clear of all liens. This is guaranteed by obtaining a non-lien certificate at time of closing (Certificado de no Adeulo) from the treasury. Additional checks are made to endure there are no outstanding water bills or state taxes.
Obtain a permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to establish the trust deed.
Obtain the appraisal or the assessed value of the property.
Obtain a survey of the property.
Prepare all documents for both the buyer and the seller.
When all of these items have been completed, the remaining balance of the purchase price should be transferred into the buyer's escrow account. The buyer will then issue a letter of release to the bank, stating that the money is to be released to the Notario for the signing of the deed. The letter will state how the money and the closing costs are to be dispersed. The buyer's attorney or advisor can help a buyer to write this letter. When the Notario disburses the money, a proud owner of a home in Mexico has just been made!
Capital Gains Taxes
The seller of a property in Mexico pays Capital Gains taxes at the time of closing. Capital Gains taxes are not calculated as they are in the United States. In the US, taxes are paid on the difference between the cost (basis) of the property and the amount for which the property is sold.
With a property sale In Mexico, an expert makes an appraisal (avalúo) of the property. The Notario 's fees as well as the taxes (impuestos) are then based on a percentage of the appraised value. Non-resident foreigners pay much higher capital gains taxes (35%) than do residents of Mexico. Even though foreigners can purchase a home or property on a Tourist Visa (FMT), paying capital gains taxes down the road when selling a property can be avoided by obtaining a Temporary Resident Visa (FM3) or a Permanent Resident Visa (FM2). . Capital gains are not paid if the seller can prove that he or she has lived on the property for the last two years. Proof of residence for this purpose consists of an FM2 or FM3 with the address of this home in Mexico and 2 years of water and electricity bills in the name of the seller. This will eliminate any capital gains one would have to pay on the future sale of the property.
Gains Tax is not calculated the same in Mexico as it is in the US and other countries. Foreigners also pay a higher tax than residents. You may consider becomming a temporary resident to avoid incurring unnecessary taxes when selling your home.
Note: As of publishing this page, we believe all the above information to be true, although laws in Mexico do change, we cannot be responsible for any changes. It is best to check with your own tax and legal advisors before purchasing property in Mexico.

More Projects, Tepid Hiring Plans
IT budgets are up, and so is demand for new technology projects, our research finds. Fifty-six percent of respondents to our Outlook 2012 Survey say their companies plan to increase tech spending in the coming year, up from 46% two years ago. Three-quarters of respondents see heightened demand for new IT projects, up from about half in our survey two years ago. The budget growth builds on last year's momentum, while strong demand for tech projects is a positive sign for overall business expansion and investment.
In this report, we'll take a closer look at the prospects for IT hiring and what to expect in emerging tablet, enterprise social networking, data center and big data technologies. (R3751111)
Survey Name InformationWeek Outlook 2012 Survey
Survey Date October 2011
Region North America
Number of Respondents 605
Purpose To gauge IT spending, staffing plans and strategies for 2012
Methodology InformationWeek surveyed business technology decision-makers at North American companies. The survey was conducted online, and respondents were recruited via an email invitation containing an embedded link to the survey. The email invitation was sent to qualified InformationWeek subscribers.

From mail-order warehouses to your local farmer�s market
Provide a festive mood this holiday season and perk up your Christmas spirit by hanging some mistletoe. Here's where to get it.
Online stores. When Frigga, the Norse goddess of beauty, love and marriage, proclaimed that those who stand under mistletoe should be blessed with a kiss, she probably had no idea there would someday exist a Mistletoe.com website, where holiday revelers could buy mistletoe sprigs, mistletoe gift boxes, mistletoe in bulk and just about anything you could imagine involving mistletoe. Other websites for purchasing mistletoe exist, so shop around.
Mail-order mistletoe. Technically, visiting an online mistletoe store constitutes using a mail-order business, but not everyone feels totally secure making purchases online. You can find information for mistletoe mail-order online. The difference is instead of punching your credit card number into a web browser, you give it to someone over the phone or send a check.
Local farmer's market. If you live in an area with a farmer's market, there's a good chance that in December you can buy mistletoe at that farmer's market. In fact, one way shopping malls and other retail outlets attract potential customers is to host local mistletoe and other holiday plant producers.
Local nurseries. If you can't find a local farmer's market that sells mistletoe, try a local nursery. Even if the plant can't be grown locally, it can be shipped to a local nursery or even home improvement stores with a nursery section.
Any place that sells Christmas decorations. Many people aren't aware that the berries on mistletoe are toxic and can prove harmful, especially to children. The Phoradendron species, for example, contains a toxin called phoratoxin, which can cause blurred vision, nausea and abdominal pain. The Viscum species berries carry different toxins but produce similar results if eaten. To avoid accidental poisoning, holiday revelers can purchase imitation mistletoe at any place that sells Christmas decorations and use the mistletoe year after year.

Customer safety is important to us. Our personal computer products are designed with customer safety in mind, but as with many other electrical devices they are capable of causing physical injuries and property damage, especially if they are not used properly. To reduce these risks, you should read this document carefully and follow the instructions included with your product. By following these instructions and exercising reasonable care, you can help protect yourself and create a safe work environment.
|Department of Transportation Battery Restrictions
Beginning January 1, 2008 , the U.S. DOT implemented new rules for traveling with lithium-based batteries, which are the type of batteries used in Lenovo notebook PCs today. This document addresses the implications of the new rules to Lenovo products and Lenovo users.
The generic limitations of this new rule are specified on the DOT web site and have been copied here for your convenience:
Effective January 1, 2008, the following rules apply to the spare lithium batteries you carry with you in case the battery in a device runs low:
The following quantity limits apply to both your spare and installed batteries. The limits are expressed in grams of "equivalent lithium content." 8 grams of equivalent lithium content is approximately 100 watt-hours. 25 grams is approximately 300 watt-hours: "
All Lenovo batteries shipped either as part of the Lenovo notebook system unit or as a Lenovo option contain less than 8 grams of lithium. The DOT rules below give specific directions based on this classification.
Frequently inspect the condition of your computer and its components. Products can become unsafe if they have been damaged, misused, or used in a way that compromises certain safety features (for example, if a power adapter or system unit is exposed to wet conditions or if the insulation on a power cord becomes frayed by the wheels on a desk chair).
Some conditions are serious enough that the product should not be used again until it has been examined and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer. If you notice any of the following conditions (or if you have other safety concerns), do not use the product. Unplug it from the power source and contact the Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions.
Click here for the Support Center telephone number for your location.
Note: If you notice any of these conditions with a third-party product (such as an extension cord or surge protector), stop using that product until you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, or until you obtain a suitable replacement.
|General Safety Guidelines
For General Safety Guidelines in other languages, please select your preferred language from the list below:
|Brazilian Portuguese
|Chinese - Simplified
|Chinese - Traditional
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.

Power Cords and Power Adapters
Power adapters typically accompany a portable personal computer, but they may also accompany certain speakers, monitors, printers, and other external peripherals. The following information applies to all such products:
Voltage-selection switch
Some computers are equipped with a voltage-selection switch located near the power-cord connection point on the computer. If your computer has a voltage-selection switch, ensure that you set the switch to match the voltage available at your electrical outlet. Setting the voltage-selection switch incorrectly can cause permanent damage to the computer. If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, your computer is designed to operate only at the voltage provided in the country or region where the computer was originally purchased. If you relocate your computer to another country, be aware of the following: If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, do not connect the computer to an electrical outlet until you have verified that the voltage provided is the same as it was in the country or region where the computer was originally purchased. If your computer has a voltage selection switch, do not connect the computer to an electrical outlet until you have verified that the voltage-selection switch is set to match the voltage provided in that country or region. If you are not sure of the voltage provided at your electrical outlet, contact your local electric company or refer to official Web sites or other literature for travelers to the country or region where you are located.
Extension Cords and Related Devices
Plugs and Outlets
Portable personal computers typically include a rechargeable battery pack. Portable and desktop personal computers may also include a coin-sized internal battery that provides power to the system clock when the machine is unplugged. The following information applies to all such batteries.
An important note regarding Lithium-Ion batteries:
When a Lithium-Ion battery overheats or experiences a short circuit, pressure and temperature can increase inside the battery cells. The cells are designed to release pressure and cell materials through vents in the cell can. This design is an important safety feature.
We have received a number of reports from customers that the Lithium-Ion batteries in their portable computers have overheated and "vented." Some customers reported hearing a hissing, cracking or popping sound immediately before these incidents. Smoke, sparks, and in some instances flames may escape from the battery during these incidents. The battery pack may become extremely hot and the heat may cause the bottom of the portable computer to become deformed. In extreme circumstances, the heat may create a hole in the bottom of the computer. Reports of these types of incidents have not been limited to our products or portable personal computers.
Users are encouraged to comply with the following instructions and to visit this Web site regularly for the latest information:
Heat and Product Ventilation
Computers, AC adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Always follow these basic precautions:
Inspect your desktop computer for dust accumulation at least once every three months. Before inspecting your computer, turn off the power and unplug the computer's power cord from the electrical outlet; then remove any dust from vents and perforations in the bezel. If you notice external dust accumulation, then examine and remove dust from the inside of the computer including heat sink inlet fins, power supply vents, and fans. Always turn off and unplug the computer before opening the cover. If possible, avoid operating your computer within 2 feet of high-traffic areas. If you must operate your computer in or near a high-traffic area, inspect and, if necessary, clean your computer more frequently.
For your safety and to maintain optimum computer performance, always follow these basic precautions with your desktop computer:
CD and DVD drive safety
CD and DVD drives operate at high speeds. If a CD or DVD is cracked or otherwise physically damaged, the disc may break apart while spinning in the drive. To reduce the risk of injury or damage to your machine, you should:
Electrical safety information
Danger: Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables is hazardous.
To avoid a shock hazard:

|Limitations of the Sound Pressure Level of Ear-/headphone Output
Warning note:
Excessive sound pressure from ear-/headphones can cause hearing damage/hearing loss. Adjustment of the volume control as well as the equalizer to other settings than the center position may increase the ear-/headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level. The use of factors influencing the ear-/headphones output other than those specified by the manufacturer (e.g. operating system, equalizer software, firmware, driver) may increase the ear-/headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level. The use of ear-/headphones other than those specified by the manufacturer may lead to heightened sound pressure level.
For Limitations of the Sound Pressure Level of Ear-/headphone Output in other languages, please select your preferred language from the list below:
|Simplified Chinese
|Brazilian Portuguese
|Traditional Chinese
|Serbian Latin
California Prop 65 Warning:
Many Lenovo product packages are labeled with the following warning statement:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
While this warning may be familiar to residents of California, customers in other geographies may have questions about what this means to them. In order to comply with California's Proposition 65 warning requirements for exposure to chemicals on the State's list of over 800 chemicals, Lenovo adds this language to our products' packaging. Users are advised to consult the product documentation for any unique safety or user instructions for their product, if applicable. For more information on California's Prop 65 visit https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/
Lenovo products continue to meet or exceed all applicable requirements related to safety, environmental, and health as defined by law or Lenovo's strict standards. Examples of Lenovo products that exceed regulatory requirements are those that comply with UL's GREENGUARD certification program, which gives assurance that products designed for use in indoor spaces meet strict chemical emissions limits.

�I don�t feel well,� my husband informed me over the phone.
�I know, honey,� I said as I perused the chicken soup selections at the supermarket for him.
�I mean, I really don�t feel well,� he clarified.
�I know honey,� I repeated. �You have a cold.�
�No, it�s not a cold! He protested vehemently. �I looked up my symptoms on the Internet and I figured out that I either have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or Australian Sea Lion Poisoning.�
I rolled my eyes and sighed. I�m not a doctor, and I don�t even play on one TV, but I was pretty sure my husband did not have either Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or Australian Sea Lion Poisoning. I was pretty sure what he had was just a cold. It might have something to do with the fact that every other member of our family had been sick with a cold in the past two weeks. Or maybe it was that in order to have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, one would have to have been bitten by a tick in the Rocky Mountains� and we�ve never been to the Rocky Mountains. Or that in order to have Australian Sea Lion Poisoning, you would have to had eaten tainted sea lion liver.
�Honey, have you been eating tainted sea lion liver behind my back?� I asked him.
�No,� he admitted.
�Then you couldn�t possibly have Australian Sea Lion Poisoning.� I informed him.
�What about the Spotted Fever?� he asked. I put him on hold and looked on my cell phone at the same Internet site he had looked to for his diagnoses.
�Headache, nausea, body aches,� I said, reading the symptoms.
�I know! I know!! I have all that!� he said excitedly.
�And malaise,� I continued.
�Mayonnaise?� he repeated.
�MA-LAISE. Lethargy. Extreme fatigue� I explained.
�Oh. No; no malaise,� he said, dejectedly.
�And no mayonnaise, either, right?� I asked.
�You�re a riot,� he said.
�Headaches, nausea and body aches are also symptoms of Ebola,� I told him dryly.
�You think I have Ebola?!?�
�NO. YOU HAVE A COLD!� I shouted. I felt bad. I knew he didn�t feel well and I wanted to be sympathetic, really I did. But in addition to having a cold, my husband suffered from an acute case of Cyberchondria, and it was driving me crazy. I decided that whoever had the bright idea to create websites where people could self-diagnose their symptoms was, a) probably a man who, b) most likely had a wife, who c) didn�t give him any sympathy when he had a cold because he was such a big baby when he was sick.
�Hey listen,� I said sweetly. �I�m bringing you home some chicken soup and orange juice and also some cold medicine�
�Cold medicine?� he wondered.
�It�s OK,� I said. �The label says it also works for symptoms of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Sea Lion Poisoning, Ebola and the Bubonic Plague.�
�That should cover it.�
�And I also bought some aspirin.�
�What�s that for?� he asked.

Real Ale Festival September 10th and 11th 2011
(22/03/2011 @ 13:32:00)
REAL ALE FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER 10th and 11th
The opening hours are 11 to 11 on Saturday 10th and midday to 4 p.m. on Sunday 12th. In the decade and more that the Festival has been held at the station it has grown in popularity to the point where it is regarded as one of the main annual events in the calendar with many people visiting year after year.
The main emphasis of the Festival will be on beers brewed by the many award winning smaller breweries in Somerset but styles of traditional ales not brewed within the county will be sourced from further afield to give visitors a chance to try to the full variety of styles of traditionally brewed and served cask conditioned beer. Expect around 100 different brews to be on sale when the Festival opens. Visitors can also expect to be able to try some "Festival Specials. Entry to the Festival is free but visitors will need to buy a Souvenir Festival Glass for £3 or a cheaper plastic alternative. No cash is taken at the bar. Tokens should be purchased at the same time as the glass. CAMRA will have a sales and recruitment stand there and Festival souvenir tee-shirts, polo shirts and sweat shirts will be on sale.
In addition to the beers there will be ciders, perries, some wine and soft drinks on sale. Food will be available from the Turntable café during the day and there will be a pasty van positioned by the station entrance. In the evening there is a Hog Roast organised by the Yarn Market Hotel from Dunster. There are plenty of other places to eat close to the station and of course plenty of accommodation in Minehead for those wishing to make a weekend of the event.
Entertainment on Saturday night will be by the remarkable one man show that is the Belfast Busker whilst the Tone Valley Jazz Band will play their regular Sunday afternoon gig at the Festival.
On the Saturday there are regular steam train services through the day with two round trips by a 1960s diesel train in the evening to take visitors back along the line (the last leaves Minehead at 10.50 p.m. On the Sunday the first steam train leaves Bishops Lydeard at 10.25. There is a steam train from Minehead at 4.05 and a diesel train leaves the seaside town at 5.35 to complete the day.
In addition on the evening of Friday 9th a Cheese and Cider special train, which must be pre-booked, will operate.

About Dolphins....Ambassadors of the Ocean
Dolphins are marine mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises. The name porpoise and dolphin have been used interchangeably, but they are quite different. They have small, rounded heads and blunt jaws instead of beaks and tend to be smaller but stouter than dolphins. Their teeth are spade-shaped, whereas dolphins have conical teeth. In addition, a porpoise's dorsal fin is generally triangular, rather than curved like that of many dolphins and large whales. While dolphins have a round, bulbous "melon, porpoises do not.
There are almost forty species of dolphin, and they are found worldwide, mostly in the shallower seas of the continental shelves. They are carnivores, mostly eating fish and squid, and evolved about ten million years ago from terrestrial mammals. Most dolphins have acute eyesight, both in and out of the water, and their sense of hearing is superior to that of humans. Though they have a small ear opening on each side of their head, it is believed that hearing underwater is also if not exclusively done with the lower jaw which conducts the sound vibrations to the middle ear. It is believed that their teeth are arranged in a way that works as an array or antenna to receive the incoming sound and make it easier for them to pinpoint the exact location of an object. Since they lack an olfactory nerve they are believed to have no sense of smell. The individuals communicate using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalizations. They also use ultrasonic sounds for echolocation. Dolphin behaviour has been studied extensively by humans however, both in captivity and in the wild.
Dolphins grab the imaginations of many people. They are intelligent, playful, and friendly, and are reputed to have extra-sensory abilities and spiritual qualities. They help certain fishermen by herding fish into nets, and have rescued humans from dangerous situations at sea. They are ambassadors of the ocean, and lots of people want to meet them.
Dolphins are social, living in pods (also called "schools") of up to a dozen individuals. In places with a high abundance of food, pods can join temporarily, forming an aggregation called a superpod; such groupings may exceed a thousand dolphins. Cetaceans can establish strong bonds between each other. This leads to them staying with injured or ill individuals, even actively helping them to breathe by bringing them to the surface if needed. This altruistic behaviour does not appear to be limited to their own species however. A dolphin in New Zealand that goes by the name of Moko has been observed to seemingly help guide a female Pygmy Sperm Whale together with her calf out of shallow water where they had stranded several times. They have also been known to seemingly protect swimmers from sharks by swimming circles around the swimmers or charging the sharks to make them go away.
So for thousands of years this warm, intelligent creature has captivated us. At Dolphin Discovery Cozumel there are many Atlantic Bottle - nosed dolphins with whom you can share part of your vacation.
Advance reservations are suggested as these activities typically sell out months in advance.
Several interactive programs offer you the opportunity to meet one of the ocean's most amazing creatures! Tursiops truncatus, otherwise known as the Bottle-Nosed dolphin, is a very social animal and waiting for a visit from you! Come join us and enjoy the experience of a lifetime in beautiful Chankanaab Park, home of one of the world's largest and most breathtaking dolphinariums.

I just wanted to take a minute now that I am home to tell you how much we enjoyed the park and all the activities you helped me set up. The sea lion swim was amazing and the show following was really enjoyable. The dolphin swim didn't work out for all of us but we are planning to do the Disney cruise again one day and we will be back for sure. The park is very beautiful and we could not do it all in one day. Look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks Once again!

Hi Sherri, thank you so much for finalizing our Dolphin Royal Swim and changing the time slot as you suggested. It makes more sense and I really appreciate your input. I will definitely pass your name forward for future travelers. Actually my daughter and her husband gave me your name since they were there last year at your PalMar SMALL Beach Club. Nothing but praise for you. Thanks again, if we get a chance we will try to stop by and say hi. Rich C

Martin - I just wanted to thank you so much for all your assistance in booking our dolphin experience. Despite the torrential rain (liquid sunshine) on 19th October the girls had a fabulous time at their swim. We loved Cozumel and hope to return one day to see it in better conditions. When I finish our unpacking and get over the jet lag I will do a Trip Advisor review for you!
C. McDade (October 2015) ~ Glasglow, Scotland UK
Just got back from our cruise and wanted to let you know how much fun we had at Chankanaab Park. My daughter, Emily, had the most wonderful dolphin experience and the $2.00 off coupon for me to get into the park worked like a charm. And, your confirmation email telling us about getting to the park was very helpful. Thank you for the experience! This was well organized and an absolutely perfect day in Cozumel for us! We (the old ladies in my family) are coming back in February, I'll be sure to connect with you again as we'll do the dolphin swim with you again.
The Kershek Family ~ Wisconsin, USA
First of all, I want to say thank you so much for sharing your wonderful island with my family. Secondly, we did the Royal Dolphin Swim with Dorie and Belle, and it was the most AWESOME time of our lives. One lady in our session cried at the end, saying this was the greatest thing that she has ever done. The Park was beautiful, and everyone was very helpful. Thank you again for a wonderful time.

Choosing, Managing and Evaluating A Penetration Testing Service
Penetration, or pen, testing can be a frightening proposition, but what we don't know can hurt us. Many companies are turning to outside pen testing providers to determine if — and where — security gaps exist. These penetration testing services can be extremely helpful in terms of strengthening a company's security knowledge, and, thus, its posture, but there are a wide variety of offerings and not all of them are highly effective.
In this Dark Reading report, we provide recommendations for what to look for, what to require and how to create an effective working relationship with an outsourced pen tester. We also offer some methods for evaluating the effectiveness of a penetration testing service and for ensuring that the service levels you are getting from your pen tester meet the needs of your organization.

My column for Sunday is about a fascinating new hypothesis: That the sharp rise in violent crime in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as its surprising decline in the 199s and beyond, have nothing to do with broken windows, mandatory minimums, poverty, drugs or racism — and everything to do with the rise and elimination of leaded gasoline.
The correlation of the data – the chart at left is just a starting point – is impressive. But it's backed up by other studies. University of Cincinnati researchers have followed a test group since they were kids in the early '80s, testing the levels of lead in the blood every six months. The ones with more lead did worse in school, had more cognitive problems through adolescence and were more likely to commit violent crimes as adults.
Brain research, which has revealed that even the tiniest doses of lead can reduce IQ's, reinforces the findings.� Lead poisoning affects the frontal lobe and the "white matter," compromising concentration, impulse control, emotional regulation, aggression, judgment – all those things that can lead to violence and crime. And, it turns out, teen pregnancy.
If you're interested, no need to wait for my column. Writing in Mother Jones, Kevin Drum does far better than I could in telling the story. Well worth a read.
