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

Dodgeville man held in Northern Ireland prison
Police say 24-year-old detained after visiting incarcerated woman linked to pipe bombing
DODGEVILLE, Wis. - A Dodgeville family said their son behind bars 4,000 miles away in Ireland hasn't committed any crimes.
Zach Gevelinger's family issued a statement regarding the news he was detained in a Northern Ireland prison after visiting a woman that authorities said is connected to a pipe bomb incident.
Gevelinger's aunt wrote in an email, "Zachary Gevelinger has neither committed nor been charged with any crime. We fully expect that Zach will be released very soon. The family asks that you respect their privacy, and will have no further comment."
Gevelinger, 24, flew to Ireland July 1 then traveled to Belfast in Northern Ireland a few days later. There, he visited Christine Connor at a women's prison on July 6. Authorities said Connor is connected to a pipe bomb incident involving police. The two met through social media.
Councillor Angela Nelson is an elected representative who helped Gevelinger get legal representation. Nelson said there was nothing sinister about the visit and the pair arranged to meet before Connor was arrested. Connor was supposed to show Gevelinger around Belfast.Dodgeville man being held in Northern Ireland prison
Gevelinger's two-hour visit was cut short and he was arrested as he left the prison.
"He wasn't arrested under any charges because here in the North of Ireland the police have special powers. They don't have to charge you with anything. They can arrest you and hold you for periods up to seven or more days," said Nelson in a phone interview.
Nelson said Gevelinger is a stranger in their country and didn't have anyone that could look out for him.
UW-Platteville political science professor John Rink remembered Gevelinger as a well-liked student.
"He was an advocate for the underdog, those who were less well off, discriminated against, treated unfairly, very strong sense of what was just and what was unjust," said Rink.
Nelson said Gevelinger is expected to be in custody until July 15, one day before his scheduled plane ride home to Wisconsin.

Art Walk packed with activity today
SARANAC LAKE – This village's 15th annual Third Thursday Art Walks continue this evening on the heels of the Plein Air Festival's "Paint the Town" event today.
Downtown parks, businesses, nonprofit groups and galleries will host the talents of regional and local artists and musicians of various genres from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
"Art Walkers" can go to any participating venue, pick up a map and schedule, and experience, at their own pace, established artists' work and emerging talents from all over the North Country. There are about 30 venues in all, each marked with a festive balloon.
Starting at the intersection of Main Street and River Street (state Route 3), this evening's Art Walk venues include Riverside Park, The Waterhole, Rice Furniture, Blue Moon Cafe, Adirondack Artists' Guild, Mark Kurtz Photography, Downhill Grill, T.F. Finnigan, Blue Line Sports, Small Fortune Studio, Upstairs Gallery, Georgeanne Gaffney Studio-Gallery, Berkeley Green, the Community Store and the Saranac Lake Free Library.
New for the Art Walks this season is a concert by young local bands Invasive Species and Mouthbreather at the Riverside Park bandshell to raise money for the marching band at Saranac Lake High School.
Invasive Species is a local progressive rock band made up of Hudson Gray, Travis Buck, Dominique Santiago, Peter Curtis and Cameron Czadzeck. Mouthbreather is a local progressive punk/grunge duo of Joey Burnah and Leo Brill, who will soon be off to Portland, Ore., to sow their musical talents.
Local artist galleries will be open for the evening. BluSeed Studios at 24 Cedar St. will display "Paper Migration," a cross-border exchange of art, culture and community between BluSeed and a cooperative of artists in Mazatlan, Mexico, including Glen Rogers Studio, Luna: Arte Contemporaneo and the Municipal Institute of Culture, Tourism and Art of Mazatlan (Cultura).
Also two new galleries have sprung up in downtown Saranac Lake since the last Art Walk. Artist Mary Woodcock Johnson's new gallery on 8 Academy St. showcases her watercolor and oil paintings of the Adirondacks and Maine. And painter Georgeanne Gaffney has re-established her downtown studio and gallery at 82 Main St., into which she has just moved. Both are open to the public and will be open for the August and September Art Walks.
The Pendragon Theatre gallery at 15 Brandy Brook Ave. is hosting the collection of 22 face drawings and paintings by local artist Diane Leifheit, titled "Face It." Some of the work dates back 20 years while some was made in the last year. Only three of the faces were not known personally by the artist. The work is in keeping with Pendragon Theatre's summer repertoire theme, "Saints and Sinners," and is up until the season's end.
There will be a meet-the-artist reception during today's Art Walk, and anyone who attends will receive a discount coupon on a theater performance at Pendragon. Following the Art Walk, at 8 p.m., Pendragon will show its final performance of its run of the Tennessee Williams play, "A Streetcar Named Desire."
The Saranac Laboratory Museum on Church Street will continue its exhibit of "Ursula Trudeau: A Life in Hats," a collection of the unique hats worn by local artist Ursula Trudeau throughout her life. It will be in the John Black Room. Malone-based acoustic pianist Matt Bullwinkel will entertain outside the museum.
In addition to being the headquarters for the Plein Air Festival kicking off today, the Adirondack Artists' Guild on Main Street is showcasing the works of fiber artist and member Donna Foley in her show, "Local + Color." The guild will also display other members' work as well as the fresh paintings of Plein Air Festival artists who participated in the "Paint the Town" event today.
The NorthWind Fine Arts Gallery will continue to showcase the talents of all its members and feature the current paintings and jewelry work of Lee Ann Sporn in her exhibit "Rearrangements."
The Saranac Lake Free Library's Cantwell Room will exhibit the annual summer show of the Paint and Palette Association. They will hold a meet-the-artists reception during the Art Walk.
The visitor can walk down Broadway to see the venues of Twin Crystal Rock Shop, which will give rock-cutting demonstrations and host fused-glass jewelry maker Lauren McGovern. Next door, Two Horse Trade Co. will host functional artist Stephanie DeJoseph and her work. Next door to that at Major Plowshares, fiber artist Marie Despres will display her work.
The Left Bank Cafe will host Middlebury College professor and author Christopher Shaw and Vermont poet Nicholas Spengler, who will read excerpts from their published works.
Local authors Jamie Sheffield and LeeAnne Baker will be on hand to sign their newly published books at Moose Maple Books and More (formerly Books and Baskets) on Olive Street. Moose Maple will also show its handcrafted furniture and other specialties.
Local author, publisher and newspaper editor Andy Flynn will release and sign his latest book, "Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Memories," in front of Rice Furniture.
Since June, the Piece By Piece Studio quilt shop has moved from Broadway to 30 Bloomingdale Ave., across from Stewart's Shop and the Adirondack Carousel. Owner Beth Gallagher will demonstrate her quilting talents during the Art Walk.
Romano's Saranac Lanes, also on Bloomingdale Avenue, will host the band Damaged Goods and provide an interactive bowling pin painting activity and family dinner specials.
The Adirondack Carousel, at the corner of Bloomingdale Avenue and Depot Street, is a piece of art in itself and will be open for the evening, too.
Local photographer Dan Hausner will once again display his work outside the DownHill Grill.
Artists including Sarah Humphreys and Carol Blackmore will display their work throughout the village.
For their final performance in the current configuration, The Lemmon Drops will play at Berkeley Green tonight. Two band members will move out of the area in September.
The Waterhole's Party on the Patio will feature Charlie Orlando at 6:30 p.m.
All musicians will be outdoors unless the weather dictates otherwise.
For more information, contact Jill Wenner, Art Walk coordinator, at 518-637-2745, or check out the Saranac Lake's Third Thursday Art Walks Facebook page.

"I was very impressed with the thank you notes i ordered. Nice quality, fast delivery and it was so easy! I would definitely use this company again!"
"We loved our thank you notes! They are beautiful! And Wedding paper divas was great at making sure they were exactly what we wanted!"
"We personalized the card with the front to say Thank you and added our initials on the bottom right hand corner to look like personal stationary. They came out beautiful and made them very personalized, especially for our guests who were going to be receiving them. The paper quality was worth the money spent- we could have going with $30 thank you from another retailer but we would have looked cheap. Its tough but when your friends and family spend the time celebrating and choose to give you a substantial gift its appropriate and also nice to say thank you with good quality paper rather then saying thanks for the gift on a junk paper. your a married women/man act like it!!! We haven't send them out yet but I know my family and friends and they will appreciate it plus they are matching with my invitations and they raved about the invitations and how beautiful they were!!! These are a must."
"I ordered these Thank You's when I ordered my Save the Dates. These came the day before the Save the Dates and I am very pleased! The card is on a thicker paper and the design is beautiful! I changed the color to Verbena and it turned out amazing! Can't wait to order more Artistic Orchid products!!"
"We made the decision to keep with the theme of the invitations and continue on with the matching Thank you cards and we are thrilled that we did. The quality matches that of the invitations and we felt the price was fair. We could of course have bought cheaper thank you cards if we had wanted to but we feel that the thank you cards needed for upcoming shower and wedding gifts deserved the extra attention. It also made sure that we would have the cards ready to go when needed and it would of course be one less thing to worrry about later. It is also a relief to know that if we need more later we can reorder them any time as the orders come so quickly."

Given humanity's increasing demands on Earth's resources, it's never too early to start teaching the next generation lessons about sustainability and our Ecological Footprint.
One of most effective ways to learn is through story. A brother and sister team, Cecilia and Gyula Simonyi, have created Children of the Elements, a series of illustrated interactive stories for the iPad. They envision the app as a tool for parents to tackle the complex subject with their children. Cecilia and Gyula have worked with their father, who is the founder and President of the BOCS Foundation in Hungary, a Global Footprint Network partner organization.
Children of the Element is an educational app, hand-painted on 40 screens and presented in English and Hungarian. The app provokes thinking systematically about sustainability by exploring food, transportation, energy, technology, consumption, population and related issues, and weaving them into stories that show their interconnectedness.
Cecilia and Gyula have launched a campaign on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter to raise funds to fully develop the series and reach a wider audience. While aimed for children ages 8 years and older, the stories are no doubt entertaining and edifying for adults as well. It follows four young children as they explore their world, giving readers an opportunity to make decisions for each character. Each episode addresses a different sustainability topic. Funds raised through the Kickstarter campaign will be used for a programmer, music, and special-effects.
"Our goal is to introduce the true face of sustainability, the complexity, the far-reaching impacts and reactions, and offer this in a format understandable and enjoyable by children," says Gyula, the project manager. "With this series we hope to trigger real understanding, rather than oversimplifying (with) messages like 'don't litter.' Our goal is to stimulate questions, generate discussion and inspire change in choices our readers make.
"Being a mother, I feel the most important knowledge I can give my child is how to live in harmony with our planet," says Cecilia, author and illustrator of the stories, and mother of a 4-year-old. "Children growing up today are going to face all the challenges our generation have left behind for them to solve."
Kickstarter allows backers to pledge various amounts to support the creative projects of their choice. If the project reaches its pledge goal by the end of the funding period, the pledges are collected and sent to the project team. However, if the full amount is not raised by the deadline, no money changes hands. On Kickstarter, backers are not only donating money to a project that inspires them, but their pledge is honored with special gifts the project creator offers.
To watch the campaign video and help make the full Children of the Elements series happen, visit their Kickstarter page. And stay up to date by visiting their Facebook page and Cecilia's blog, which has new illustrations.
Editors update (July 3, 2012): The Kickstarter campaign is over, but the project is not. Follow the progress on the Children of the Elements blog.

Eating healthy does not need to burn a hole in your pocket. If you are following a food budget, the task of food shopping may seem challenging, but it doesn't have to. You can save money and still have a variety of healthy foods without breaking the bank.
Simple switches to save money:
- Limit alcohol
Alcohol is an additional cost to your weekly budget that if you cut it down or cut it out, it can help you save money and lose weight. Alcohol has "empty calories", meaning that the food is higher in calories and lower in nutrients.
- Drink water (aim for 8 cups a day)
Make 2 purchases that can save you money in the long run: a water filter and a reusable water bottle. You can filter tap water right from your home. Other drinks provide empty calories and can become pricey. Even when you go out to eat, order water. Think water is too boring? Try adding orange or lemon slices to your water bottle for some natural flavoring.
- Avoid the drive through
Think you are saving money by hitting up the drive through everyday for lunch. Think again. By skipping the drive through and packing your own lunch can help you save money and keep you on track to healthy eating. Skip the double cheeseburger, fries, coke, and large cookie. Buy a loaf of whole wheat bread, turkey from the deli (often on sale), and fruit (in season is often cheaper). Pack a turkey sandwich, a piece, of fruit and your water bottle. Have a sweet tooth after lunch or dinner? Go for small individually wrapped treats like a couple dark chocolate Hershey kisses.
This also includes limiting dining out.
- Make sure to have variety!
Variety is key. No one wants to eat the same thing everyday. Seasonal foods are cheaper during their peak season. Switch it up all the time. An easy thing to switch up is snacks. Buy a variety of fruits to choose from for a healthy snack.
- Clip coupons
Clip your coupons. Do a little research before your shopping trip. See what is on sale to incorporate in your meals for the week. Become a member of the store to get a discount on store items. These might seem little, but they add up to big savings at the end.
- Buy in bulk
Buying in bulk is often cheaper. You can freeze perishables like breads and meats and use smaller portions when needed.
- Make extra
Double a recipe you like and save the rest for leftovers later in the week or freeze the rest for later.

Summer is a popular time to travel, but it can also get quite pricey, especially if a pet owner wants to bring a dog along with them. However, many locations have some great activities for both owners and their furry friends to do that will be enjoyable and won't break the bank, according to the Miami Herald.
Pet owners should locate a good hiking area or national park nearby and take their four-legged companion there for the day. The exercise will be beneficial for both the owner and the canine's health. Another idea is to go to a local beach or lake where the pooch and the owner can swim, according to the news source.
It is important to remember to take an animal for its annual exam at the veterinarian before embarking on summer activities. This will ensure that its pet health is up to the challenge, the media outlet reports.
These summer months can cause temperatures to soar, and it is important to ensure that a pooch stays hydrated at all times, according to the ASCPA. In addition, knowing the symptoms of a pet in danger of overheating - excessive panting, increased heart rate, and weakness - can help it stay healthy.


text: So - inspired by Cardiff's unemployment discos, and that it is that redundancy time of year, I am interested in setting up unemployed discos/performance and arty type events, either in the Forest or potentially somewhere else. Thought I would send this shout out to gauge interest/ideas and anyone up for involvement. A political campaigny edge would be nice too.

More Street Volleyball Please
Hanging out at this year's NCAA Volleyball Championships in chilly Omaha, Neb., one cannot help but be warmed by the wonderful hospitality of the Cornhusker Nation and Great Plains members. Wednesday night, thanks to Sue Mailhot, commissioner of this region &ndash - which leads all 40 RVAs in growth/membership per capita - USAV staff spent time with the Great Plains Board of directors.
I got a chance to catch up to Alli Aldrich, USA Sitting National team Paralympian, and see her silver medal from Beijing. I also got to meet new and old friends who grow the game so well in this volleyball passionate state- including former commissioner Dave Spencer and USA National Men's Sitting Team member Brent Rassmussen.
One of the topics that came up was the AVCA Pre-Convention Seminar that ended on Wednesday. To a packed house, Hugh McCutcheon took the attendees on the Men's National Team's gold-medal journey in Bejing. Later Sue Woodstra, Diane French and Joanie Powell did the same thing for the Women's Team.
At the dinner Wednesday night, I spoke more about the USOC seminar on maintaining expert performance that I have previously mentioned here. The presentation by Mark Williams on talent development was on my mind, and I wanted to share one of the most important things I learned here.
In England, at the age of eight, thousands of kids are accepted into Soccer Academies. They go to school and learn one sport - football, the number-one sport in the world, which we call soccer. That we have to call the world's most popular sport something else in our nation says something all by itself, but I digress. These young athletes then train for nearly a decade, year-round and at the ripe, old age of 16, their "graduation" as it were take place. They find out if 1). They are signed to pro contracts or 2). "Released" and sent off to just play recreationally.
So Mark set out to see if he could determine what might separate the players signed vs. those let go. After a long look, they found really only one key thing that they could measurably say was different. The kids who were released, played an average of a couple of hours of "street soccer" a week. This would be like sandlot games for us, games played without a coach; rules set by the players; scoring options determined by the players; field of play determined by those playing.
Those who were signed to pro contracts? They averaged just under 10 hours a week of street soccer. Wow.
For those of you knowing my connections to the Institute for Play and getting those great articles on the value of play in a developing child's life, you might not be surprised. The way the game teaches the game, and the value of random and creative play, comes out important once again.
Mark made an important side note, that when the great players did just hang out and perhaps partner up while having a ball with them - they did not just partner pass - they would see if they could deliver the ball in a wild assortment of ways, off different body parts, bank shots, varying spins or bounces. Again they were creative in doing something, not static.
Nike took that observation and put it into some popular commercials.
On another related note, Hugh McCutcheon's change over to the women's National Team side is a great Christmas present to our sport in America. I will mull that over more in a later blog.
So for now, hope your holidays are going great and the finals' week for many of the kids in your lives went well. Back to the Convention Center.

I was suppose to go to that game last night but I was busy watching a friends dog and just got off work. It was an amazing game. Street Volleyball. I would love to see that. Nebraska being so huge on volleyball was great for me considering im from Hawaii and volleyball is both a male and female sport. Here I have to join a club. Still major points for this state for always having good volleyball.

The Tea Party has evolved from a cable-news curiosity into a political and cultural force that decides elections and casts an Everest-sized shadow over the coming midterms. It has spawned countless articles, essays, and op-eds that attempt to explain it, define it, and gauge its power.
So it is easy to forget that, in the weeks and months after CNBC's Rick Santelli delivered his February 19, 2009, jeremiad against the Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan, in which he called for "all the capitalists" to come to Chicago for a "tea party," none of this seemed inevitable. Santelli spent days backpedaling, telling MSNBC's Chris Matthews, for instance, that he had "great respect for the administration" and wanted it to "win." "I'm not coming down hard on Barack," Santelli insisted.
In fact, as the Drudge Report and other conservative outlets pointed readers to a video of Santelli's rant, and people around the country began organizing Tea Party rallies against President Obama's agenda, the broader media world was mostly indifferent. For a brief moment, the Santelli affair was dismissed by many as just another made-for-cable-news drama that would fade when the next one arose.
The left press, in particular, fundamentally misread the Tea Party and inadvertently helped it congeal into a real political force. Its mistake was journalistic: oversimplifying a genuinely complex phenomenon. But the cause was political: a desire to destroy a perceived threat. The new towers of the left media, sites like Talking Points Memo, The Huffington Post, the Center for American Progress's ThinkProgress, and programs like MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, did not take the movement seriously and their initial coverage was mocking.
The exception, a piece by Mark Ames and Yasha Levine published on February 27, 2009, on Playboy's Web site that attempted to situate Santelli and his rant inside a coordinated "rightwing PR machine," foreshadowed where the left press was headed once mockery failed. CNBC threatened to sue, and Playboy removed the piece from its site.
By the summer of 2009, when activists flooded town halls to oppose cap-and-trade and health-care legislation, and into 2010, when the movement started deciding the winners of some early Republican primaries, the liberal press adopted the strategy of the Playboy piece and began trying to discredit the Tea Party by exposing its most extreme right-wing elements and its ties to big business.
An early signal that this strategy shift was coming was a March 23, 2009, piece by Lee Fang for ThinkProgress in which he alerted liberals to what he considered the bogus conservative scheme:
The "tea party" protests nationwide are being coordinated by the conservative public relations firm Freedom Works, which is run by former Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX). The tea parties are also being supported by Newt Gingrich, through his organization American Solutions For Winning the Future. Members of Congress, such as Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH), have appeared at previous rallies. In addition, Fox News' Glenn Beck promotes the protests, and has launched a website publicizing the events.
Ultimately, neither strategy—derision or conspiracy theory—worked. As the nascent Tea Party movement continues to wield political power, the new liberal press's effort to knock it down looks like a spectacular failure. The movement thrived on the negative attention from the left, which complemented the constant and shameless boosterism it received from right-wing media. The mainstream media, meanwhile, ignored liberal demands that it spend less time personalizing the Tea Party activists and more time investigating their funding.
I was acutely aware of the media's treatment of the Tea Partiers because I was one of the first reporters for a left-leaning publication to take the movement seriously. In January 2009 I had moved from the libertarian Reason magazine to a liberal start-up called The Washington Independent. Tasked with covering "the re-making of the right," I shadowed the young activists who organized the first Tea Party in Washington, D.C., on February 27, 2009.
There was no shortage of journalists available to cover the D.C. event. The annual Conservative Political Action Conference was under way a few miles up the road. But the reporters who ambled over to LaFayette Park came mostly from conservative outlets, such as National Review and Investors' Business Daily. Pajamas TV sent its biggest celebrity, Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, who doubled as a speaker at the rally. His speech concerned the lack of media coverage that the protestors were getting. It sounded silly and self-negating, but it was basically correct. No one from the mainstream media took the event seriously enough to break from speeches by Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney to witness a gathering of libertarians, Free Republic "freepers," conservative columnists, and talk-radio fans who'd driven in for the day, all united to protest Keynesian economics and Barack Obama.
At first, I thought the Tea Partiers might be wasting their time. They'd spent eight years mocking the liberals who railed against the Bush administration. A banner-waving, slogan-shouting rally with jokes about tea bags? Why would anyone take this seriously? Standing at the rally, though, and then typing up my notes later, I began to realize that this coalescing of disparate strains of conservatism was something new, at least in the current political era, and also that it fit naturally into a long history of such grassroots movements, on both the left and the right. If the Tea Party is this generation's "New Right," as Chris Matthews declared, it echoes the New Right that emerged in the decades following World War II, culminating in Ronald Reagan's election in 1980.
Plenty of liberal reporters now acknowledge that they were slow in taking the movement seriously. "It took me a little while to catch on," says Adele Stan, the Washington editor of the liberal AlterNet, and a seasoned reporter on the conservative movement. "I saw it as a grassroots backlash but I didn't see the growth of it coming. In the early stages there was a lot of ridicule, and I fell prey to that sometimes. When you're seeing things through the prism of ridicule, you're missing a larger, more important story."
Others are less willing to concede the point. "Whether we didn't take them seriously enough and what the impact will be remains to be seen," says Ari Rabin-Havt, a strategist for MediaMatters, which relentlessly covered the slip-ups of pro-Tea Party Republicans. "But I remember things like one of the people at the big protest in Searchlight, Nevada, telling a reporter, 'I would vote for a commie to vote out Obama.' Some of this was extremely, laughably ignorant."
The fact remains, though, that Tea Party leaders look back on this dismissive coverage with a kind of pride. The attacks by the left press convinced them that they were onto something, that they were irritating the right people. The most offensive attacks—when CNN's Anderson Cooper and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow referred to them as "teabaggers," for instance—were met with demands for an apology. Attacks on the funding of the movement were brushed aside as partisan smears of a self-financed, grassroots uprising. "The attacks absolutely helped us," says Eric Odom, a Republican activist named in the Playboy story. "Beyond the 'tea bag' stuff, look at the charge that we're racist. The vast majority of this movement is not racist. When we hear things like that, we take it personally. We find it to be insulting and it makes us work even harder."
Faiz Shakir, the editor of ThinkProgress, argues that the organization's work—which included dispatching six reporters with cameras to Tea Parties where Republicans were speaking—forced the mainstream media to report on the fact that the movement was partisan. "In elite discourse, our reporting seems to have marginalized what the Tea Party movement was understood to be," Shakir says. "By the end of the year they were understood to be partisan Republicans, not disgruntled moderates."
But even to the extent that mainstream press coverage eventually acknowledged the partisan nature of at least some strands of the Tea Party, the bulk of the coverage still focused on explaining the movement rather than debunking it. In December 2009, The New York Times assigned Kate Zernike to the conservative beat. Zernike ended up writing mostly explanatory stories about the movement, and quickly turned her coverage into a book, Boiling Mad, published by Times Books. Rick Berke, the Times's national editor, dismisses the idea that the paper was too kind to Tea Partiers. "We're just looking for the most ambitious storytelling we can find and this is what we've ended up with," says Berke.
None of this is to suggest that, had the left press attempted to engage the Tea Party in a debate of ideas and policies, it would have altered the movement's trajectory. It's more that, by attempting to dismiss it as something fundamentally unserious, or little more than the handiwork of rich GOP operatives, liberals stiffened the resolve of what is a genuine grassroots phenomenon. Tell someone they can't do something and they will be determined to prove you wrong.
It was unreasonable for liberals to expect serious news outlets like the Times to batter the Tea Party instead of treating its leaders like new political stars. And the mainstream press was right to cover the Tea Party as a bold new movement whose emergence had important things to tell us about the country. Who funded the Tea Parties was a legitimate aspect of the story, but not the only or even the most important aspect. Libertarian groups and funders—the Koch Family Foundations in particular—had been sinking money into efforts to spark a small-government movement for decades. They had managed to launch some successful publications and think tanks, but had never produced a mass organization. The Tea Party is messy and unpolished; it has attracted people who differ vigorously on many issues. That is the stuff of a true grassroots movement, and liberal hopes that they could discredit it by digging up some receipts were folly.
Here's the irony: liberals made inevitable the coverage in the mainstream media that so angered them. The institutions liberals built to challenge the GOP were, once Democrats were in power, more obsessed with attacking a perceived enemy than with building liberal projects. By late 2009, the Tea Party was all conservatives were talking about, and it was all liberals were talking about, too. The incumbent party and its ideological organs were strategizing on how to handle this insurgency—whether it was funded by billionaires didn't really matter. Was the rest of the press supposed to ignore what had become a focal point of American politics?

Marble experts advise novice collectors to find their niche
Marble collecting isn�t just for kids. The nostalgic toy can take adults back in time to childhood games. Their distinctive and colorful materials and styles also can help collectors of all ages explore the glittering world of contemporary glass art.
Two well-known marble experts offer helpful tips to get you started:
Collect what appeals to you, and you�ll enjoy your hobby all the more. For example, artisan Bruce Breslow, 60, who owns Moon Marble Co. in Bonner Springs, Kan., collects both historic and contemporary glass marbles, but he�s partial to history. �I like to hold something in my hand that somebody held long ago. I like to connect myself to the past physically,� he explains.
Limit your collection to a particular category. For instance, your collection may focus on a certain size of marbles such as peewees, or marbles made of certain materials such as clay, steel or agate. Some collections are rooted in historical eras (think Colonial Period or early 19th century). You might collect holiday marbles or marbles that use specific colors or designs such as oxbloods or corkscrews. Some people collect marbles fashioned by a particular glass artist. Others collect marble toys. Choose a category and go with it!
Know your marbles. Study marble history to get a feel for the evolution of marbles. Also, familiarize yourself with contemporary glass artists who specialize in spherical shapes. �Read all you can about the history of glass and the issues of glass,� advises Mark Matthews, 58, a glass artist in Archbold, Ohio. �The whole history of glass goes back 5,000 years.�
Develop an eye for details. Be alert to differences not readily apparent to the untrained eye. �The field has kind of exploded and there�s a lot of high-quality work going on,� Matthews says. If you�re making an investment, he suggests acquiring pieces in which the artist has completed experimental stages to resolve color, format and other esthetic issues. Expect to pay a premium for these, almost twice the regular price.
Study pricing. You might find marbles for free or pay as much as $10,000. With handmade marbles, prices can accelerate as the artist�s fame grows. Matthews recalls a black and white geometric marble that he made early in his career that he sold for $25; years later, it resold for $4,800. His highest selling creation was a marble purchased for $10,000 in 2006.
Type, size, scarcity and eye appeal�all factor into pricing. Condition of a marble makes a huge difference; any surface damage can cut its value in half. If there�s one verity in pricing, it�s the marketplace. �A marble is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it,� Breslow says.
Buy from a reputable dealer, particularly if you are paying big bucks. That said, you might discover inexpensive treasures at estate sales, auctions, flea markets and garage sales.
Visit local clubs and marble meetings. �A lot of old-timers like to get young people started,� says Breslow, adding that they might give away a marble or two.
Trade with friends. That�s part of the fun of the hobby.
Display for enjoyment. Don�t hide your treasures in a dark vault; flaunt them. Some people like to display marbles in large jars, but the disadvantage is that part of the collection gets buried in the center. �It�s better,� Matthews advises, �to have really nice shallow casework with LED lighting.�
Have fun. Breslow recommends collecting the kinds of marbles for which you have a natural affinity. �So many people start doing things because they are thinking it might be profitable,� he says. �That just takes the fun out of it.�

The conflict in Sri Lanka ended in 2009 after nearly two decades of civil war, but recovery continues to be hindered by the threat from landmines and unexploded munitions hidden across communities once in the conflict's path. As a result, over 73,000 Sri Lankans remain displaced and waiting, wanting only to return home safely. But a unique challenge arises in Sri Lanka and countless other post-conflict communities around the world when these hidden killers are discovered in the very heart of rural agricultural communities: the village well.
Contaminated wells are among the lingering legacies of years of fighting. Reconstruction and resettlement initiatives are commonly blocked by improperly abandoned landmines and other explosive remnants of war. In response to this problem, the United States has stepped up its support to Sri Lankan communities through one of the world's most active humanitarian demining programs. With the clearance of these mines and other explosives, the displaced people of Sri Lanka can resume their agricultural practices and safely retrieve drinking water.
The United States is among several nations supporting four non-governmental organizations (NGOs) taking on the daunting task of clearing the land and wells across Sri Lanka. These NGOs -- the Danish Demining Group (DDG), the HALO Trust, the Mines Advisory Group (MAG), and the Swiss Foundation for Mine Action (FSD) -- have contributed personnel, training, and other resources in support of Sri Lanka's demining program.
The NGOs provide valuable training for Sri Lankan deminers, provide humanitarian assistance such as making water potable, and help contribute to "mine awareness" through community-based education. For example, in addition to the doubly dangerous task of clearing explosives from the bottom of water wells, efforts to promote community safety include placing "mine awareness" posters on wells' outer walls. By informing communities about the dangers of landmines in the wells, the NGOs hope to decrease the number of accidents.
The contamination of water wells with landmines and other unexploded munitions is not a problem confined to Sri Lanka. Almost 3,000 miles away in the Southern Caucasus region, Azerbaijan faces a similar problem. Throughout Azerbaijan's decades as part of the Soviet Union, the Soviet army utilized many regions in Azerbaijan as training and targeting sites, leaving behind unwanted and dangerous unexploded mortars and artillery shells. Additional hazards can be traced to Azerbaijan's conflict with Armenia in which forces often used wells to store their weapons, or left explosives in the wells when retreating. Following the cease-fire in 1994, too many of these weapons were forgotten and left for locals to find, with tragic results.
Because of these hazards, the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) has developed a humanitarian demining program to clear the water wells. ANAMA is Azerbaijan's quasi-governmental NGO responsible for demining the entire country. At the start of the project, ANAMA conducted a survey that concluded that almost 400 wells in former battle areas are still affected by landmines. ANAMA works to train specialized demining teams that are able to respond quickly to a location where landmines or abandoned munitions have been uncovered. These response teams are trained to clear mines from water wells in residential areas as well as irrigation sources to allow communities to safely farm and retrieve water. As in Sri Lanka, ANAMA also posts landmine safety announcements on the side of their water wells, along with instructions that guide locals on how to report contaminated wells.
The United States is proud to be the world's single largest financial support of Conventional Weapons Destruction, including Humanitarian Mine Action, helping countless communities recover from conflicts by safely clearing landmines and unexploded munitions. Since 1993, the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs Office (PM/WRA) has delivered more than $1.9 billion in support to 81 countries, saving countless lives through clearance operations, risk education, and survivors' assistance programs administered by more than 60 NGOs worldwide. PM/WRA works closely with both the Sri Lankan and Azerbaijan governments, as well as NGOs involved with each country.
The efforts of ANAMA, HALO Trust, FSD, DDG, and MAG have demonstrated to communities that their governments are taking the necessary steps to provide a safe area to live and work. These NGOs work to build capacity in recipient countries to enable the development of self-sustaining demining teams and the continuation of humanitarian assistance. Much work remains ahead, but each day, thanks to support from the United States and other countries dedicated to this challenging humanitarian task, families in Sri Lanka, Azerbaijan, and dozens of other countries are making their communities safer.

We have too frequently approached American World War II poetry with assumptions about modern poetry based on readings of the influential British Great War poets, failing to distinguish between WWI and WWII and between the British and American contexts. During the Second World War, the Holocaust and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki obliterated the line many WWI poems reinforced between the soldier's battlefront and the civilian's homefront, authorizing for the first time both civilian and soldier perspectives. Conditions on the American homefront--widespread isolationist and anti-Semitic attitudes, America's late entry into the war, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese internment, and the African American "Double V Campaign" to fight fascism overseas and racism at home--were just some of the volatile conditions poets in the US grappled with during WWII. In their poems, war shapes and threatens the identities of civilians and soldiers, women and men, African Americans and Jews, and verse form itself becomes a weapon against war's assault on identity. Charles Reznikoff, Muriel Rukeyser, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Richard Wilbur mobilize and challenge the authority of traditional poetic forms to defend the self against social, political, and physical assaults. The objective, free-verse testimony form of Reznikoff's long poem Holocaust (1975) registers his mistrust of lyric subjectivity and of the musical effects of traditional poetry. In Rukeyser's free-verse and traditional-verse forms, personal experiences and public history collide to create a unifying poetry during wartime. Brooks, like Rukeyser, posits poetry's ability to protect soldiers and civilians from war's threat to their identities. In Brooks's poems, however, only traditionally formal poems can withstand the war's destruction. Wilbur also employs conventional forms to control war's disorder. The individual speakers in his poems avoid becoming nameless war casualties by grounding themselves in military and literary history. Through a series of historically informed close readings, this dissertation illuminates a neglected period in the history of American poetry and argues that mid-century formalism challenges--not retreats from--twentieth-century atrocities.

There is one question I have for Kathy, the woman who created the list. Why number 18? Shouldn't we be number one? Really, I think that is where we should be.
Number 18: G Living Just discovered this modern, chic, video, trend-infused site. New fave.
Searching for the Best Vegan Blogs on the web? Look no further. I've researched, scrolled and scoured the web for the best vegan blogs. Top Favorites – these are the websites I personally visit reguarily for a number of reasons. If you don't see your site here and honestly think it should be please reach out to me – the web is vast and I have not seen every single vegan site (though I DO try!)

Topic: in_place_editor_field
Does anybody know how this is meant to work? I just can't for the life of me get it to do anything...
This is an archive from Rails Forum. Check out the new community here!
A forum for Ruby on Rails users
Does anybody know how this is meant to work? I just can't for the life of me get it to do anything...
Sure, you can create an in place editor field on a model attribute like this:
<%= in_place_editor_field :some_model, :some_attribute %>
in_place_edit_for :some_model, :some_attribute
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for that - I havn't got the Recipe book but I'll get it as it looks pretty useful.
I tried what you said but didn't have much joy. This is what I tried:
in_place_edit_for :task_list, :title
<%= in_place_editor_field :TaskList, :title %>
Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id
Have I done something stupid? It wouldn't surprise me.
Thanks again
In the code you have there, you have ":task_list" in your controller and ":TaskList" in your view.. they need to be the same
Yeh, sorry - they were both TaskList when I tried it. They should be called the name of the class right? Rails finds the file based on that doesn't it?
Yeah, they should be called the name of the model, but lowercase with underscores - not capital. Does it work when both are task_list?
Didn't work either either task_list or TaskList
Are you getting any errors or anything? Is the server even receiving a request upon clicking edit?
Make sure you have JavaScript libraries loaded:
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
JS libraries are loaded as I'm using script.aculo.us effects. Nothing happens - when I put the code in - it triggers the error above on the tag in the view file.
Is the @task_list instance variable set in the view where you call in_place_editor_field?
def index
@task_list = TaskList.find(:all, :order => "title")

I'm not sure, but it might be because you're instance variable relates to all of the rows in the db, not an individual row, so ActiveRecord does not know which to update...
try this:
<% for task in @task_list %>
<%= in_place_editor_field :task, :title %>
<% end %>
That brought back the same error - the nil one above
@task_list should relate to one instance of TaskList, not all of them. Try:
def index
@task_list = TaskList.find(:first) # or params[:id] here to fetch a specific one
<%= in_place_editor_field :task_list, :title %>

Thanks Ryan - brilliant
Unfortunatly I use @task_list in a render paritial collection to show a list of task lists. As I've got a list whats would be the best way to create a @instance for each item for use with the editor?
Currently, each list is in a seperate view (so I have tasklist.field etc... for each list) in a loop (through render :partial :collection)
In your task list partial you can set the task list instance variable there. Like this:
<% @task_list = tasklist %>
<%= in_place_editor_field :task_list, :title %>
Thanks Ryan - that works. Although now whenever I try to submit a change I get a JS alert saying that no action exists - as if there wasn't an entry in the controller. I have:
in_place_edit_for :TaskList, :title
That should be:
in_place_editor :task_list, :title
You pretty much never use capital letters in symbols.
OK - thanks Ryan - worked wonderfully.
Is there any documentation for this function? Just wondering if its possible to change things like the highlight to and from colours?
Thanks again.
There's some documentation on the Scriptaculous site, but that's for the JavaScript side. Most of the parameters can be specified in the Rails helper method, but it may take a little bit of guess work.

Great sense of humour, love to keep busy with sports -surfing fishing diving. Keep a clean and tidy house, good cook.

Doesn't mean I have people over all the time or loud head banging music playing. I'm considerate and helpful, also handy with fixing stuff.
I'm a full-time working musician (guitarist/singer) who plays up & down the coast including weddings. I enjoy surfing, keeping fit, travelling, yoga and reading. I'm a fairly chilled person, extremely tidy, easy-going, pretty quiet and considerate of others.

My name's Phil, I'm from Sydney and I've taken a full-time job in Nowra, and am looking for a share house or flat in the Jervis Bay/Gerringong area to move in February 2017. I'm very clean, tidy and love cooking, as well as the beach. Non-smoker with no pets.
Easy going, reliable, full time worker with 3 crazy, cool cats. :) I am looking for a large, unfurnished room as I have more than just bedroom furniture or alternatively some garage space to store some furniture.
Looking for a mostly weekender (furnished) on or near the beach over summer initially (but may well extend) as I own my own home in Sydney and will be coming and going quite a bit. I am tidy, kind, caring and considerate and love music and travel. I will consider any beachside location North or South Coast NSW or the Gold or Sunshine Coasts in Queensland.
Hi there! :) I'm currently living at home with my parents down south in the amazing Jervis Bay but needing to move up north due to new study commitments, as I am now studying full time at Shellharbour TAFE for 2017! I do currently work full time locally but due to the possible relocation I will be needing to leave my current job and will have to find one closer to where I will be moving/studying. I'm not so much looking for just a room to live in for the year, but a home! I'm a very neat and tidy person, pretty quiet as well. I do like my personal space but at the same time I do love a good breaky out at local cafes or a sneaky drink or two of an afternoon. I loooove animals so if you do have a pet, that's a 100% bonus on my behalf! And if you don't have a pet, well, I'll probably more than likely buy a fish or something :) I would like to say that I'm a very bubbly, positive person, always keen to meet new people and have a chat. Quite passionate in the health and fitness too, do love a good morning or arvo walk along the beach and do love a good session at the gym. ****Although, please note that I do have a boyfriend that will more than likely stay with me from time to time as he is back and forth from Sydney and Jervis Bay, and we could potentially be looking to live together if his commitment in Sydney works out**** p.s please don't hesitate to ask questions on this matter. Please feel free to message me at anytime if you feel I'll be good in your place, I'm happy to answer any questions or have a chat on what could possibly be your new house mate! 😁

Here's The 'Scoop' On Apple TV
In one corner, you have the well-respected Jean-Louis Gassée calling the notion of an actual television set from Apple an "enduring fantasy." In the other, there's Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster predicting an imminent release, as Gassée noted, for the umpteenth time and third year in a row (!).
Gassée makes compelling points.
First, he states the obvious: Consumers should be able to access a la carte television. Every program should be an on-demand app. Of course. But that's not going to happen. You'll have to go through the "trouble" of programming your DVR from your iPhone a while longer.
Apple will never cut this deal with the cable/satellite companies and content owners. And there's really no reason why it should.
Gassée asks "why bother" with a television anyway, noting that the revenue Apple would generate represents a tiny fraction of the whole. I don't agree, but, going with that for a second, you could say the same about Apple doing a full-fledged Pandora (P) competitor .
Big difference between the two: Apple can break a hell of a lot more ground in the living room than it can in streaming radio. I detail several reasons why in the above-linked and other recent articles.
But here's what really baffles me: This hyper-focus on content. I cringe when I make this "accusation" in the same breath as a summary of a Gassée argument, but this hyper-focus shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what Apple is and why it's so successful.
Turn on a television -- any one of them -- and, depending on what you subscribe to -- content is there. Theoretically, you can access "all of it." That's all Apple needs: A world full of viewable content.
The real "why bother" is why bother getting involved in that whole mess? It's a war not worth fighting. In a perfect world, consumers download or stream content a la carte, but it's not really in Apple's best interest to fight for that "right." I don't see the upside. It's a money out, hustle way too hard to churn out enough product to make acceptable margins proposition.
As I explained in Apple's Stock Could Still Double Even If it Doesn't Sell 156 Million iTVs , this company is all about creating intuitive, innovative and alluring user experiences. It does not need to own content or even distribution to do this.
Maybe it could do a special side deal here or there on really prime stuff (e.g., EPL soccer or a sweet deal with the NFL for Sunday Ticket) or knock knuckles with Google (GOOG) , Amazon.com (AMZN) , Netflix (NFLX) and others by farming out some original programming, but there's not even a need for that.

Release date: 9/16/2013
"Violent sex offenders and those who've harmed children have no business being at schools, day cares or playgrounds. We'll fight to uphold this law to protect our kids."
A lawsuit filed recently in federal court challenges the constitutionality of a North Carolina law that makes it illegal for certain convicted sex offenders to be within 300 feet of any place intended primarily for the use, care, or supervision of minors. The prohibition applies to sex offenders convicted of violent sex offenses or sex offenses with minors and applies to locations including schools, children's museums, child care centers, nurseries, and playgrounds.
Cooper is named as a defendant in the case along with the Governor and all North Carolina District Attorneys. The Attorney General's Office will defend the State in the case, which was filed in United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina in late August (case number 1:13-cv-711).
