Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 52 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by FLlady65 good umbrella I wanted a patio umbrella that would withstand our Florida thunderstorms and this one seems to be holding up. I only gave it a "good" rating on performance because it's new and has not yet proven itself. I thought it was expensive, but if it holds up through the thunderstorms and lasts for a long while it might be worth it. I have it in my cast iron table and it doesn't need an umbrella stand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by agbrady great purchase looks good, withstands weather and covers a large amount of space. much better than my wooden one from last year that is now warped and broken! May 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Twin2 Great Value It was great that ordering was easy, shipment was simple to follow, and delivery was on time. I was pleased to see that the umbrellas were on sale when I ordered them. Hours after ordering I realized there was an opportunity to save money (remember to read all of the catalogue.) I called customer service, and they immediately issued me the credit. Wonderful company to work with. I ordered several umbrellas and they were individually boxed, which I appreciated. Color was as shown in the catalogue. I'm a very happy customer ! May 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chefess really, really strong!!!! I've been looking for an umbrella that could survive the strong wind currents that come off our lake. I've lost several umbrellas due to being bent after the wind has taken them for a ride... The wind took this umbella up, it landed between dormers on my roof, I opened a window and helped it down and it literally bounced on the deck, no damage at all...... Amazing!! The blue is so vibrant and it's tall enough for the tall guys in the family, very happy. May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Knoid Nice umbrella Seems to be very durable. Stood up to some pretty windy conditions. I like that the fiberglass won't rot like some of the wooden umbrellas we've had in the past. June 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by marshmama storms has held up in a good storm already! Seems durable enough! We are hoping to have it quite a while . Value price good! June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RobRoy I liked this umbrella so much I bought another one for our 2nd floor deck I've had many Umbrellas over the years and this one is positively the best. It is so easy to raise and lower. In Chicago it gets pretty windy on our second story deck. I've lowered the umbrella during storms and have had no problems. The only small drawback is that I need to stand on a chair to tilt the top. June 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JeanG Nice! Pleased with the shade umbrella. It's large and covers our entire deck. We like the option of having sun or shade with the use of this umbrella. When not in use we keep it in our garage and only use it when needed for sun. I thought at first that it came with a base, but it doesn't. I bought one on amazon for $20. June 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by gmam great umbrella this product looks good, sets up easy and performs as it should. June 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by dancinganimals What I had hoped for I am very pleased with the 9' outdoor umbrella I recently purchased. It looks good and opens and closes easily. I can't say much about its durability because I haven't had it long enough to know but I expect it will prove very durable.. June 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MimiShari Very well made I love this umbrella. It is a lovely rich color. More importantly, it has survived a trip over the house (when someone forgot to lower it and a mini tornado sucked it up) and continues to shade. Dispite its rough treatment, it still looks like new and works perfectly. My last umbrella (wooden) didn't make it. This one is solid and built to last. I love being able to easily crank it up or down; I am just delighted. July 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Windy2 Great Umbrella We live in the high desert of California where we experience very high winds. So far this umbrella has worked well for this windy area. Very happy with this umbrella. August 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MissMyTrees So far, so good! After loosing 3 large ash trees to the Emerald Ash Borer, my yard went from partial shade to full sun. I wanted to find a product that would provide portable shade for the kids while playing outside. This umbrella does just that, as it is INCREDIBLY lightweight. I am a petite woman, and I have no trouble moving the umbrella around the yard without assistance, or even back into the house for storage. Assembly was a snap. Other reviewers praised this umbrella for its durability, which is one of the reasons I chose this product over others. I'm hoping it will last a few summers until I can plant some new shade trees. August 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by HedyMarie Outdoor Umbrella I am very pleased with the new umbrella. It appears to be very strong and the wind hasn't blown it over. I have had that problem with my old umbrella that had a wooden frame. It was broken up by the wind. A very nice looking product. April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by debolove loving the unbrella it was for my birthday and we are having company over for the forth of july. Cant wait to have it up and ready to go! It looks great and the base is nice. June 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fans Great value Great product in a crowded field. The "yellow" seems a little orange but that may fade to a true yellow. Very pleased with product and price.' July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by veryhappygrandma made in the shade Umbrella is being used on the deck (2nd floor) - 2 blocks from the beach on central coast of California. We receive quite a bit of sea "breezes" - in layman's terms that equals ~ 30-40 mph quite frequently - the umbrella is flexible enough that we can leave it out (closed of course) even when not in use and it is perfectly stable. The color (beautiful blue) is stunning - it just makes you happy to see! The tilt mechanism is very easy to use - though in the afore mentioned windy conditions it tends to turn on its own. Still trying to devise a way to keep umbrella in position during very high winds. Bottom line - if you are hesitating - don't waste another day without this - it has allowed us to use our deck to its optimal purpose! September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by beachnut Colorful I purchased 6 of these umbrellas in (3) different colors and I love them all. Will probably order again when these wear out. I had several offset umbrellas and was unable to find new canopies (canopys) to replace the ones that were shredded from the sun.....these do very nicely as their replacements. December 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by noahbunny Very Nice Umbrella We bought this umbrella when our ten year old one...bought from Improvements...died an honorable death during an unexpected high wind storm. It arrived in perfect condition. We put it up and that was it. The construction looks good and the material is water repellant. Very easy to open and close. We're looking forward to it lasting a long time. January 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by luvbnagrammie Exactly what I was looking for The umbrella matches beautifully with my new outdoor rug for the deck. I wanted to add some color and the barn red was perfect. Thanks. May 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jdw1985 9' Fiberglass Umbrella Just recently purchased this umbrella, so far so good. Excellent quality and finish, seems very sturdy. An ease to put together out of the box and the shipping was very fast with this product. I would highly recommend. May 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by matopin 9' Fiberglass Umbrella Had some strong winds recently which might have caused our other umbrellas major problems. Instead the wind uplifted the umbrella and blew it off the deck into the garden. It held up very well. Love the crank option as opposed to the string option on our old umbrella. June 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MYOASIS AWESOME FOR THE PRICE THESE UMBRELLAS ARE JUST AS EVERYONE HAS STATED, THEY HOLD UP VERY WELL IN THE WIND AND THE COLORS ARE VIVID AND TRUE TO THE WEBSITE. ALSO LIGHTWIEGHT SO NOT HARD TO HANDLE WHEN YOU NEED TO MOVE THEM. I PURCHASED 2 FOR MY POOLSIDE! June 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CALulu Great product We ordered one umbrella. We liked it so well we ordered a second one. We have the ability to easily store umbrellas when not in use so were not interested in paying for fabrics guaranteed to stand lots of sun. These umbrellas tilt easily to offer shade from late afternoon sun which is an important feature for us. July 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SamzBeadzBlanchezAttic This may be the best umbrella yet! Hey There! I have bought a lot of umbrellas in my life and I think this may be the best one yet! I work flea markets in the spring, summer and early autumn - set up and break down in the same day. Whew! A lot of my fellow vendors have pop-ups that they invariably need help to set up and break down. I prefer umbrellas, I can do it all by my independent self. I just took this umbrella out to my back yard and inserted the pole into one of my metal umbrella stands, lifted the top part and put it together, cranked it open and Voila! - the easiest set-up ever! It is lightweight, easy to set-up. The tilt mechanism is a little high up for a 5'2" senior, but I managed. The wind caught it when it was tilted and almost blew it over, but my reflexes are still good so I righted it. I am going to attract a lot of customers with my Atlantic Blue 9' umbrella in my 10' x 10' flea market space. Thanks!! March 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by umbrellabuyer great buy! glad I replaced my old umbrella as this looks great and is easy to use. June 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Newsman Very high quality umbrella at good price This umbrella is strong and well-built. Tilt is easy to operate. Look is attractive. Haven't had it long enough to judge durability, but believe that will be excellent, as well. September 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by eboy828 Color My World Cool umbrella with vibrant color and solar lights. The only thing I would change is having the light switch on the shaft instead of the umbrella perimeter . January 7, 2017
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shaun So far - So good! I was impressed by both the review of the product and the dlivery of what appears to be a very nicely constructed patio umbrella. So far - so good in that it has not been tested in a bad rainstorm for it's durability to withstand high winds. I keep it closed normally but there are times when I leave it in an upright position and our area gets a strong, sudden, windy rainstorm. My last umbrulla (not from Improvements) was ruined - hence this purchase. Thankfully, I have not had to worry yet about putting it to the test. Therefore - so far - so good! I will be in touch if that type of rainstorm occurs and I find a need to comment (or complain) about it's durability. August 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sawyer 9' fiberglass umbrella We purchased this umbrella at the end of the summer reason to replace a worn out umbrella. We have opened it to be sure it wasn't damaged. Thus far we are pleased with the product, but we haven't really put it to the test of using it through a season yet. It is exactly as it appears in the catalog. No surprises so far. October 9, 2012

Rain or Shine?
Does this umbrella keep the rain out? If I put it over my patio furniture will it keep it from getting wet? I'm looking for something to cover part of my uncovered patio so I can still go outside even when it's sprinkling.

Answer:Thank you for your question.
Improvements patio umbrellas are primarily for shading and secondarily for decorative purposes only. Improvements recommends that the umbrellas either be stored undercover or an umbrella cover placed on it when not in use, especially in inclement weather. For off season, we recommend it be placed in storage. This will prolong the quality of the umbrella frame and canopy.

Color in Catalog v the Website
the catalog indicates the green is a hunter green. And it looks hunter green in the catalog image. the swatch on the computer indicates "green" and almost appears to be a Kelly green. Which is more accurate the catalog or website?
And the catalog displays five colors - is the antique beige the middle umbrella? Once again the website sample color appears to be much brighter than the catalog

Answer:Thank you for your question.
Some monitor screens do not always display the images as to what they should be. Please use the catalog as your best reference when choosing the color selection for the Hunter Green swatch. As far as the Antique Beige again use the catalog as your best reference. If you zoom in on the lifestyle shot located on the web product page this will too give you a better idea of the color. These images are the same images printed in the catalog.

Globalfoundries has announced the availability of a new silicon-validated solution to help customers accelerate time-to-volume for complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs at 28nm and beyond. Called DRC+, the technique goes beyond standard design rule checking (DRC) and uses two-dimensional shape-based pattern-matching to enable a 100-fold speed improvement in identifying complex manufacturing issues without sacrificing accuracy.
Until now, a designer has only had two primary options for identifying DFM issues during the SoC design cycle: run accurate but computationally intensive simulations based on numerical algorithms, or rely on metrology measurements directly from the fab. Attempts have been made to improve upon standard DRC with additional rules, but these approaches have had mixed success. For example, some have proposed the use of restrictive design rules that only allow highly regular structures for layout, avoiding problematic two-dimensional geometries altogether. The potential drawback is that designers cannot effectively optimize their circuits to meet application requirements with overly constrained design rules.
DRC+ takes a different approach. Instead of restricting the flexibility of designers, the technique augments standard DRC by applying rapid two-dimensional shape-based pattern matching to identify problematic configurations that could be difficult to manufacture. The tool then returns specific feedback to designers on how to resolve these issues.
As a critical component of DRC+, Globalfoundries is now offering customers the industry's first silicon-validated libraries of yield-critical patterns for technologies at 28nm and below. In tests run at Globalfoundries, DRC+ identified known problem patterns at speeds comparable to traditional DRC verification engines-leading to a 100-fold improvement in the speed of hotspot detection, without sacrificing accuracy.
DRC+ augments and completes the overall DFM solution provided by Globalfoundries, together with rule-based DFM verification and model-based litho/etch and CMP simulators, which can identify new yield-detracting patterns, as process conditions and design styles change over time, during technology development. As the process matures, DRC+ pattern-matching-based verification at the full-chip level can then be used to achieve increasing performance improvements, at the highest level of accuracy. By improving verification speed, DRC+ can have a direct impact on the ability to rapidly ramp a product to volume and accelerate time-to-market for customers.
The innovative DRC+ verification flow has been successfully used on several 32nm production IC designs and libraries of yield-detractors patterns for 28nm technology nodes are currently available from Globalfoundries for leading-edge foundry customers.

Sequestration and our safetyFebruary 25, 2013 by Craig Fuller
As most of you know, President Obama and the U.S. Congress are in the throes of debate over federal sequestration and the resulting $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect March 1.
The cuts will take place automatically unless Congress acts to stop them. Politics aside, the impact on our safety and freedom to fly could be severe.
Dramatic and arbitrary cuts to our aviation system could compromise the safety of ourselves, our passengers, and our fellow aviators.
I am blogging about this today because I believe it is important for all AOPA members to understand how a government sequester will affect us as pilots, aircraft owners, and aviation enthusiasts. I also want you to know how AOPA's regulatory and government affairs experts are working to mitigate the damage to general aviation.
Last Friday, the Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration wrote to AOPA and several other aviation organizations detailing how sequestration spending cuts would affect aviation services.
The agencies said the letter was "just the beginning" of a conversation with stakeholders about how to "reduce the negative impact" of required cuts that are expected to reach $600 million for this fiscal year. The letter cited several measures that would be enacted if a deal on sequestration isn't reached, including the closure of 60 airport control towers during midnight shifts, the complete shutdown of more than 100 towers at airports with fewer than 150,000 flight operations per year, and a nearly universal staff furlough.
We've scheduled a meeting with other aviation associations and top FAA officials to hear more about the agency's sequestration plans. We will share more details with you as they become available.
AOPA's government specialists expect that, if sequestration takes hold, we will see a gradual reduction of services that may take weeks to become apparent. During that time we can expect mounting pressure on Congress and the White House to find a workable compromise.
We have spent the past few years building the largest and strongest General Aviation Caucus the House and Senate have ever seen. The members of this caucus have been very supportive of general aviation and are working with AOPA to find the best possible scenario for managing anticipated cuts. In our meetings on Capitol Hill, we have made it clear that the safety of our nearly 400,000 members depends on maintaining vital services, including air traffic control, weather and NOTAM information, updated charts, and other critical planning and operational tools. Airmen certification and medical services are also a concern, and we are working with our colleagues within the FAA to make sure the agency knows which services are most important to our members.
Standing in the shadow of the sequestration controversy is the president's budget, which will also come out in March. We expect it to once again include a $100-per-flight user fee. We anticipate that the House of Representatives will declare the president's budget dead on arrival, and then enact its own budget bills (without user fees). Those bills will go to the Senate, where a budget has not been acted upon for years.
Thus, we are still months away from knowing whether the administration will be able to advance its user fee proposal.
If past is prologue, chances of its passage are not good, but we can't afford to be complacent. We will work to defeat proposed user fees, as we have successfully done in the past.
In the meantime, we hope that a solution to the automatic sequester can be found by March 1. Until then, please stay tuned to AOPA's website and newsletters for updates on our meetings with the FAA and Congress, and for further news on sequestration's impact on aviation.

Outage leaves areas dry
It was a case of water everywhere and not a drop to drink for many Minot-area residents this past weekend.
A broken pipe left North Prairie Rural Water District customers south of Minot and as far east as Granville either without drinking water or under a boil order even as residents battled heavy spring runoff.
Teresa Sundsbak, general manager for North Prairie, said Sunday afternoon that the district hoped to have water restored by that evening and the boil order lifted either Sunday night or by this morning.
Jackie Hildenbrand, who lives southeast of Minot, was still waiting for water late Sunday afternoon after having gone without since Saturday morning. Her family bought drinking water, but there wasn't much else they could do.
"There's plenty of water outside," Hildenbrand said. "You are flooding and you are pumping water but you have no water. We are just waiting, patiently waiting. It's not fun, but you have to deal with it."
Some residents made good use of the outdoor runoff.
"We're using outside pond water to flush our toilets," said Rick Langley of Logan.
Without water since Saturday, Langley and his wife, Bonnie, were frustrated in not knowing how much longer the outage would last. Not having water has been an inconvenience, he said, especially when it means driving into Minot to take a shower.
Jaime Yunko of Sawyer said she was bone dry from Saturday until Sunday morning at her house.
"So far we're OK. We actually had some water stored away from the scare last year," she said. "We're definitely getting ready to boil water for cooking."
Beyond that, she said, "You just have to make like you're in Mexico … and close your mouth when you're in the shower."
The outage occurred after a broken pipe in North Prairie's plant near Voltaire caused treated water to overflow from a storage well. The resulting overland flooding, aggravated by the runoff from melting snow, led to ground water entering the storage facility.
The amount of ground water getting into the well was small relative to the system's size, and chlorine residuals in the water were good. But North Prairie, working with the State Health Department, declared the boil order as a safety precaution, Sundsbak said.
Plant operators were able to shut valves and limit the area affected.
"We were very lucky it's a very small area instead of the whole system," Sundsbak said. North Prairie preserved part of its system by switching customers in the area of Eastside Estates and Meadowbrook from its Voltaire plant to its distribution system served by the Minot Water Treatment Plant.
North Prairie posted on its website a boil order for the townships of Willis, Sundre, Gasman, Newman, Rushville, Iota Flat, Newman, Sawyer, Brillian, Greeley, New Prairie and Surrey in Ward County and the townships of Norwich, North Prairie, Velva, Brown, Bjornson, Granville, Hendrickson, Lebanon, Voltaire, Olivia, Lake Hester, Cottonwood Lake and Odin in McHenry County. On Sunday afternoon, the boil order list added part of Falsen Township in McHenry County but also only included North Prairie, Hendrickson, Sawyer, Velva, Lebanon, Brown, Voltaire and parts of Norwich, Willis, Lake Hester, Newman, Brillian, Bjornson and Olivia.
North Prairie asked for water conservation and alerted customers to potential low pressure.
Sundsbak said North Prairie had repaired the broken pipe Saturday night only to have it break again on Sunday. Crews were repairing the pipe again Sunday, and water testing was to be conducted at various points in the system to verify compliance with health standards before the boil order was lifted.
"We are also looking at our SCADA system," Sundsbak said of the Voltaire plant's operating system, "to see why that pipe blew in the first place. This system was only five years old. This is a new treatment plant."

Preaching That

| Where Have All the Pastors Gone?
by Sally A. Brown
Whatever our assessment of the musical merits of the hymn "I Come to the
Garden Alone," it could be said to be the anthem of 21st-century
Anglo-Protestant spirituality. Frankly, meeting Jesus in the garden alone
can be attractive when coming to church means dealing with the annoying
range of personalities, theological and political opinions, habits, and
tastes that God has seen fit to call together as the church. (Although
recent defenders of the hymn's theology point out that it is intended to
evoke the resurrection appearance to Mary in the burial garden on Easter
morning, the hymn's text omits Jesus' commissioning of Mary to go back to
the gathered community of disciples to preach the good news, thus severing
personal encounter with Jesus from its ecclesial context.)
Sally A. Brown
It may be no accident that, in these recent decades marked by controversy
in every major denomination, we have also seen Protestants turning in
unprecedented numbers to spiritual training centers to learn classic
individual spiritual practices of silence, contemplative prayer, lectio
divina, and journaling. How quickly we forget that those who developed
these disciplines assumed the backdrop of a life of daily corporate
The people to whom we preach today are highly influenced by a culture of
individualism. Shaped by the Enlightenment "turn to the self," as well as
by American frontier revivalism, many understand Christian spirituality in
fundamentally individualistic terms—as a matter between the self and God.
By contrast, the Reformed tradition insists, distinctively Christian
spirituality is irreducibly corporate and communal—in short,
ecclesial—spirituality. (Such an understanding of Christian
identity is already in place in many African American and Latino/a
congregations in North America, where Christian spirituality has always
been understood as fundamentally communal.) A major challenge for preachers today is to help those in our pews develop a genuinely
ecclesial sense of Christian identity and spirituality.

How can preachers challenge tendencies, fostered by the culture at large,
toward spiritual individualism that sees congregational worship and
witness as voluntary and even optional? How can we develop a
congregation's ecclesial sensibilities?
First, the preacher can cast an eye over recent sermons to see whether she
or he has tended to choose stories and illustrations that reinforce
individualistic images of Christian spirituality. Stories in a sermon work
analogously with the dynamics of the biblical text, grabbing the listener
by the imagination so that the pro me of the gospel is heard. But if most
stories focus on individual experience (as does much of the material
traded on preachers' lectionary web sites these days), the cultural bias
toward individualistic spirituality is reinforced.
Preachers can expand their storytelling repertoire to include stories of
the church—the community bearing witness, the church challenged and
transformed. Congregations need to hear the story of the church through
history and around the world, as well as the congregation's own story, or
that of a sister congregation across town.
A second strategy for developing ecclesial consciousness in the pews is by
reviving the practice of mystagogical catechesis, or preaching on the
sacraments. Such instruction was normative in the ancient church in the
Paschal season when it was urgently important to instruct Easter baptisands in their new ecclesial identity. Baptism and the Lord's Supper,
understood rightly, signify that those in the pews with us are actually
indispensable to our Christian formation.
Of course, first we may have to cut our way through a thicket of false
assumptions about the meaning of the sacraments. Baptism is too often
understood as a punctiliar act in which the taint of original sin is
expunged and individuals are branded, so to speak, so as to be sorted into
the right pile at their demise, rather than as an act that roots us in the
life of the ecclesia through identification with Christ's death and
rising, and commissions us to ministry. The Lord's Supper, for many, is
still a private penitential transaction between oneself and one's God,
rather than participation in the eschatological community inaugurated in
Jesus Christ. Reclaiming the corporate dimensions of these signs and
promises breaks open their socially transformative potential.
Admittedly, preaching on the sacraments is bound to be less compelling if
these rites are only a peripheral part of congregational experience. With
interrupted worship attendance patterns more the norm than the exception
these days, quarterly celebrations of the Lord's Supper or occasional
baptisms are often as not missed, making them a footnote to Christian
experience, rather than the font of Christian identity and ecclesial
consciousness. The sacraments remind us, especially in contentious times,
that finally we are the church with and for each other not by mutual
contract, but by virtue of a divine act and promise.
Some observers note that the as-you-like-it spirituality of the 1990s
has left many adrift, searching for ritual and community. Congregations
with a strong sense of ecclesial identity will be living signs of God's
redemptive work and profoundly good news to this generation of seekers.

The Content-Based Mobile Edge Networking program is a new form of networking that allows those in the field to share critical content even in the event the radios or mobile devices have lost contact with their headquarters units. The devices can function as a server in this event, distributing information, including tactical updates. This, says the agency, significantly improves the common situational awareness of those in the field and their ability to carry out their mission. The agency tested software for the network on Android-based smartphones and military radios. The technology may also be used in civilian applications, namely disaster response, where first responders and other organizations could share images and information. The program started its second phase of testing in August to prove its ability to support United States Marine Corps and Army networks using both military radios and commercial smartphones with Wi-Fi capabilities.

Two of the world's largest manufacturers of NAND flash memory - Samsung Electronics and Toshiba Corp. - on Thursday agreed to jointly promote the 400Mb/s DDR 2.0 NAND interface. Both companies said they will support a standard industry specification to enable broad-scale acceptance of this new high-speed technology.
"Toggle DDR provides a faster interface than conventional NAND using an asynchronous design, delivering the benefits of high-speed data transfer to a wider market, such as for solid state drive (SSD) applications including enterprise storage, mobile phones, multimedia terminals and consumer products," said Masaki Momodomi, technical executive at memory product division at Toshiba.
The current toggle DDR 1.0 specification applies a DDR interface to conventional single data rate (SDR) NAND architecture. The resulting NAND chip has a 133Mb/s interface. Samsung and Toshiba will focus on assuring a 400Mbps interface for the toggle DDR 2.0 specification, which provides a three-fold increase over toggle DDR 1.0, and a ten-fold increase over 40Mb/s SDR NAND in widespread use today.
Both companies support industry-wide adoption of the high-speed specification, which would facilitate faster acceptance of toggle DDR memory with hardware engineers and application designers. Last month, each company started participating in standardization efforts for the new technology through the JEDEC solid-state technology association.
"Our introduction of high-speed 30nm-class NAND late last year served as an initial pathway for stimulating acceptance of the new high-performance toggle DDR technology. Now, continual upgrades in high-speed performance will create new applications and broader market opportunities for NAND flash memory. The rapid adoption of fourth generation (4G) smartphones, tablet PCs and solid state drives is expected to drive demand for a broader range of high-performance NAND solutions," said Dong-Soo Jun, executive vice president of memory marketing at Samsung Electronics.

Samsung Electronics, the world's second largest maker of mobile phones and a major maker of consumer electronics and semiconductors, may attempt to make a bid for Nokia Corp., the world's No. 1 maker of mobile phones, a market rumour suggested. Naturally, neither Samsung nor Nokia comment on the information and analysts remain skeptical about such a combination.
Back in May a rumour transpired that Microsoft Corp. would be interested in acquiring Nokia for roughly $19 billion and that the price is the highest possible bid that that the software giant would pay. Other rumours suggested that Nokia's board of directors would agree to sell the company for $28 billion. The current market capitalization of Nokia is $23.11 billion after a huge decline on May 27, therefore Microsoft's maximum bid is not sufficient. But Samsung can acquire Nokia at the price offered by the BOD of the company that is bleeding.
Nokia is clearly capable of creating world class smartphones, in fact, up until Q1 2011 the company's Symbian was the world's leading smartphone operating system. The company's phones have been outselling all major competitors combined just several years ago. The combination of Nokia and Samsung would not only form the world's largest maker of mobile phones, but would bring together the leading silicon and product engineers on the planet.
"Samsung acquiring Nokia doesn't seem very feasible as the two companies are on quite different trajectory paths. Samsung has seen tremendous growth and is launching new pads trying to target Apple, whereas Nokia is clearly going backwards losing market share very quickly. I don't see a lot of value in Samsung acquiring Nokia," said Pete Cunningham, an analyst with Canalys.
Nokia's market share started to decline a long time ago as the company struggled to deliver competitive phones with touch-screens. Nonetheless, it remained the world's No. 1 smartphone maker even in Q1 2011. The real market share drops started to occur after Stephen Elop became the chief executive officer, said that the company would adopt the world's least popular and competitive smartphone operating system - Microsoft Windows Phone 7 - and that the support and development of Symbian will be essentially halted. After Mr. Elop revealed the plan about a year before any Nokia-branded Windows Phone-based smartphones could enter the market, sales of Symbian-based devices started to stagnate especially because the company could rapidly respond to marketing and quality problems.
With Samsung's expertise in hardware, Android operating system and Nokia's handset designers and software developers, the combined firm would become a formidable force on the consumer electronics market in general.
"It seems like a market rumor and we don't comment on rumors," a spokesman Samsung said. Nokia spokeswoman also said the company does not comment on rumors, reports WSJ.

Cramer Quick Take: eBay Should Just Change Its Name to PayPal
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- What's the best way to boost shares of eBay (EBAY) after the company reported worse-than-expected earnings? Change the name of the company to PayPal, Jim Cramer told Lindsey Bell at TheStreet.com Thursday.
Cramer said eBay is currently covered by a cohort of Internet analysts who don't truly understand eBay, nor the importance of its PayPal payments division. He said these analysts who set the earnings expectations really shouldn't, as they don't know how to value the company.
Cramer said PayPal is the younger person's credit card, and with that division growing at 25%, it needs to be valued like a financial, not an Internet, company. He said the quick fix would be to change the name of the company to PayPal, then watch coverage move to analysts that understand financials. The result, he said, would be a $16 stock almost overnight.

Southwest Figure Regionals in the news
FRESNO, California (KFSN) -- Competitive roller skating is big and there are nearly five-hundred competitors in Fresno this week along with a couple of thousand fans and family members.
Bob and Flo Fitzgerald are competitive skaters from the Bay Area. They've been coming to this competition since it moved to Fresno from Bakersfield fourteen years ago. "Fresno is a nice town, it's a nice feeling town, it has a lot of old town character that we really love, but yet it has a lot of great things to see and do too."

Makings of a successful rail trail
So, how does one rid themselves of a pesky tourist railroad and get a successful rail trail at the same time? The makings of such are easily accomplished with minimal effort on the end of the trail enthusiast and can give the result of a world-class walking trail.
First and foremost, one must tear up the tracks and scrap the equipment using said line. The funds raised there-through will pay for a fraction of the trail's cost, so go for taxpayer funds to finish the rest of the project. Easy enough, as most of the populace is willing to put their tax dollars to a multi-use trail that is of excellent quality. Another method of funding would be the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as most likely there would be damage on the line from previous disasters. Ulster County Executive Michael Hein has proven such a course of action to be plausible and already has access to $2 million that are ready for the trail conversion of the Catskill Mountain Railroad. So if the tracks are in place, simply get the funding to repair the railroad, tear out the tracks, and apply those funds to the trail project.
But let's assume that the railroad is well entrenched and has funding to fight your moves. Simply put, sabotage their efforts. Rewire the locomotives to prevent their safe use; tear out bridges that are in need of immediate removal due to damage they may cause to the environment. (The lead paint that may be on the structure will be far more dangerous than the contaminated topsoil and subgrade that will be dumped into the river to access the location of the damaged bridge.) Those two options, if done simultaneously, will render the railroad unable to operate and will leave no immediate consequence for the trail advocate, legal or otherwise.
Finally, what of the positive economic benefits wrought by the snowmobilers, dirt bikers and ATVers? Assuming one is to use a motorized vehicle to traverse the trail, there would be two ventures that could succeed along said trail. One would be the ever-expanding pharmaceutical industry – medicinals such as methamphetamine, heroin and cannabis, all of which have brand recognition and can bring much profit to the entrepreneur who partakes in their sale and production. What research does suggest is that out-of-sight locations serve as the best business locations for the pharmaceutical industry. Why that is the case is beyond the scope of this essay, although a rail trail through the middle of nowhere would open up a greater market for those already in the industry and those wishing to break into the industry.
Now there's no reason to put to waste the work already performed. Take the train station in Tupper Lake. While it has been restored, the money has been a simple waste, as obviously the trains (operated by the Adirondack Scenic Railroad) will not be able to make the run due to the diligent actions of rail trail activists. As such, one must wonder what a bicyclist or off-road motorist might do when it comes time to locate refreshment. A simple pub would easily be able to make use of a structure such as a train station. Simply let the patron stop in to grab an ale, and let them go on their way. Anyone who gets in their way after they stop at the pub obviously is incapable of comprehending that standing in the way of an oncoming motorized vehicle, and while the swerving to avoid the pedestrian can avoid an unfortunate incident, the operator of the vehicle is obviously the victim in such a tragedy, as the pedestrian must think it humorous to jump in the path of a moving vehicle. As such, the fate of the pedestrian would be well deserved given the circumstances.
With those thoughts in mind, one can realize the ease of funding these endeavors and stimulating the economies of the local denizens. The final product will be an excellent, unpaved corridor for recreational usage, with the added benefit of a boost to the economies of the pharmacist and pub owner, encouraging them to expand their business and generate more traffic to the area. What's better is that it require no maintenance, as the number of people using the trail will certainly keep the weeds and high grass beaten down and won't require immediate attention by weed sprayers or landscapers. Sadly, my own positions prevent me from being of any real aid. The most I can do is offer these entirely reasonable suggestions on construction of a successful trail system.

Share Your Orders Thread
Okay, I did say I'm not buying anything until Black Friday, but Harney & Sons is doing free shipping today and tomorrow. This order has a christmas present in it, plus I threw in a few samples and tins for myself because why not?
Harney & Sons
Tricerachops Meat Chart Mug YES https://www.harney.com/triceratops-meat-chart-mug.html for the husband, though I'll probably steal it sometimes!
SoHo Blend – loose tea sample
Vanilla Comoro – loose tea sample
Black Empty Tea Tin – 4 oz and 8oz
I wasn't planning on buying anything because (A) I went into DAVIDs 3 times last week and placed a Teavana order last Monday (which should be arriving sometime today) and I have a bunch of swaps coming in and (B) I am anticipating some great Black Friday sales and want to hold off until then to go on a binge. However, I got really excited today when I realized that having a father who lives in California means I can get free shipping from a lot of places if I send the stuff to him and then he can send them up to me. So today I placed my first order for 52 tea (which I guess is now Zoomdweebies). I got the Bestsellers Sampler pack because I wanted to try all the teas in it and I got Cotton Candy Black because that sounds super interesting and it was not part of the sampler. I am so excited!!
I noticed that. I think it was a good realization to have (or maybe a very bad one because now that there are more places I can shop from I might go broke)
and everywhere else that won't ship to Canada or has crazy shipping rates to Canada – all the free shipping sales US only – like I said tons of possibilities. LOL yep you might have reason to be a little afraid if you don't control the impulses. :))
I guess it is a good thing I realized this prior to Black Friday. Hopefully the sales will help my wallet a little bit now that my options have opened up so much.
Haha, I am horrible! But when Fauchon teas go on sale, all bets are off. Even though I was just in Paris a few months ago and bought tea at Fauchon then. Only two this time because Le Bonheur! was already sold out.
Fauchon, An Evening In France Tea – 100g (3.52 Oz)
Fauchon, Paris Mon Amour – 100g (3.52 Oz)
(there's an invite code in the Miscellaneous Sales thread if you need one)
A small fall off the wagon at work lol..I grabbed one of the Japanese matcha bowls from DavidsTea's web specials, as I have been wanting one but don't want to pay $40+ for one..this one was around $17 with shipping :) in dark green!
Oh Lena, don't you feel LUCKY ? :-)
Saw this post and had to get one myself. I went with blue! They're all pretty, really.
I had spent a stressful two days battling myself. I already have a matcha bowl (gifted from my host family, I'm so thankful x3), but the 40% got me.
It's such a good deal! I was between the dark green and blue, but I have more green teaware I think and it will match better :)
If it hadn't been for your post here I wouldn't have even known! I told it to email me when Fauchon was on the site but I guess it doesn't work. Not that I needed more than just that one.
Hit up the Vente Privee Fauchon sale thanks to Dinosara's post up there:
A Stroll Through The Tuileries White Tea – 70g
An Afternoon In Paris Black Tea – 100g
An Evening In France Tea – 100g
Raspberry Macaron Black Tea – 100g
I only wish Un Soir de Noel hadn't been sold out already! I love French Christmas teas for their inclusion of maraschino notes, Dammann Freres also has a delicious Christmas tea that's similarly flavored, and which is also just as rough to get a hold of in the US. I would have grabbed the Apple and Pear teas as well had they still been around. Better for my lack of self-control that they weren't then, I guess. :'(
Since my last post on this thread I've also done the Verdant $5 for 5 sale! That one shipped today. Excited as I've never tried them before!
Placed my very first sTEApshoppe order with Stephanie
I got a tin of cinnamon swirl bread and a sample of black & white. I'm soooo excited!
American Tea Room Order
brioche_FREE 2 oz: $7.80
Brioche Organic Tea 2 oz: $9.75
Lemoncello Organic Tea 2 oz: $7.80
Earl Grey Rooibos Organic 2 oz: $10.40

Saint Tropez Organic 2 oz: $9.10
Subtotal 65.65
Coupon discount (vet20) -13.13
Promotion discount (Free shipping) -5.95
Total 52.52
I'm not going to have any money left in my Black Friday fund at the rate I'm going this month…
I order on Wednesday. :/ let me know how the saint topaz is!!! And the lemoncello!
Will do! I'm excited that I was finally able to order from them.
Have you had brioche before? If not you'll love it!!
Nope, this is my first order with them, but I knew I had to try it.
Oh man are you in for a treat!
Twice on the same page…oh the shame.
Malama – 50g
Ripe Mango Oolong – 50g
Lanikai – 50g
Golden Honeydew – 50g
Te de Frutas – 50g
Banane Chocolat – 50g
Napa Blanc – 50g
It kills me because there's a Lupicia over in Century City but they never have the special editions. Hence me getting two of the Hawaii blends (Malama is chocolate macadamia! AAAH) and all three of the special San Francisco blends. And then of course added a couple things to hit the free shipping threshold. My tea cupboard is like a game of Tetris at this point. And:
52 Teas:
Tiramisu Oolong
Turtle Cheesecake Black
The dessert blends just get me every time!!
My first Verdant order!
Lashoan Black Chocolate Genmaicha 1oz
Yu Lu Yan Cha Black 1oz
Traditional Tieguanyin 1 oz
and….it was a complete impulse purchase, but I also ordered my very first gaiwan and tea cup. So excited!
First Mandala order
Milk Oolong 2 oz

In January, we let you know of a major threat to designated Wilderness and wolves on Unimak Island, part of the National Wilderness Preservation System and an area in the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. A misguided plan by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to allow lethal wolf control on the island has thankfully been shelved.
Times aren't looking too optimistic for the gray wolves that inhabit Alaska's rugged Unimak island on the eastern tip of the Aleutians.
