Martin Dreadnought
The very first dreadnought guitars were designed and crafted by C. F. Martin & Co. in 1916, but marketed in Boston and New York exclusively under the Oliver Ditson brand. Originally made for Hawaiian slide playing style, the very first dreadnought made was a Model 222 shipped to Ditson in August of 1916. After Ditson went out of business in the early 1930s, Martin introduced the D-1 and D-2 dreadnoughts for standard playing style that would soon become Martin's iconic D-18 and D-28 models. Over the past 100 years, the Martin dreadnought has helped define what an acoustic guitar can and should be, and subsequently, it has become one of the most popular acoustic guitar designs in the world.

Comments about Martin Standard Series HD-28L Left-Handed Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I've had my HD-28L for 17 years. It seems to get better with age. The sound is very loud and rich. It stays in tune and is a joy to play. The top wood is beautifully cross-grained, and the neck has become richly polished from years of playing. For a guitar of this quality the price is quite reasonable. If you want the very best, the HD-28 is the one.
Comments about Martin Standard Series HD-28L Left-Handed Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
The HD-28 is the finest sounding standard dreadnought on the market and surely Martin's Flagship guitar. After playing a few high-end guitars over the years, the HD is without question THE player's guitar. While the consensus gripe among acoustic guitarists is most Martins produce dull or muted bass notes, I agreed. Not so with this clean and bright Martin. When I purchased my first HD-28 over a decade back-recently lost in a house fire-I spent months looking all over the North East to find the right guitar and was close to going custom. I was hoping to find both good sound balance and a bright and response. WOW! The HD-28 has that and more. It is easy to play with well chosen wood-ebony fretboard-Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides. . In short, it is the gold standard of acoustics. What makes the HD-28 sound so clean? Lighter, scalloped bracing. A change from the D-28-all for the better. This results in a guitar with consistent, clean and resonant sound. One thing to note is the light bracing requires a med string set at the max. If you stick with lighter strings (med-light are my favorite), a near perfectly balanced guitar will provide years of enjoyment. Best sound for the bucks. The exterior looks are also pumped up a bit with herringbone edging. The "action" required no change once I broke it in. I am glad to have an HD once again making my world sound sweeter.
Comments about Martin Standard Series HD-28L Left-Handed Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I have played many different brands of acoustic guitars, but never a Martin untill now. I purchased an HD28L recently and let me tell you; there is no sound like this guitar. I have never experienced such a true rich deep tone like this guitar offers. I'm spoiled now, so I gave my son and my friend my other guitars, because I won't play them any more! The sound is deep and true! Pick one up and play.... You'll change your mind about Martin guitars for good like I did!

Work, not marriage, the fastest route out of poverty
Conservatives are once again touting marriage as the way out of poverty. They point to U.S. census data showing that poverty is concentrated in single-parent families and that marriage is highly correlated with more successful households and higher-achieving children.
Not so fast. Marriage by itself doesn't lift people out of poverty — certainly not as well as policies that encourage and enable parents to work.
Equally important, correlation isn't the same as causation. If it were, we'd be celebrating the decline of marriage. After all, in the past 50 years, poverty has decreased along with the rate of marriage.
The conservative argument, at any rate, is largely definitional. The government set the 2013 poverty level at $15,510 for a single parent with one child. If that parent married another single parent, and they each earned a below-poverty $15,000, their combined income of $30,000 would automatically put them above the official poverty line of $23,550 for a family of four.
What's more, past attempts, notably by the George W. Bush administration, to boost marriage rates with grants to state marriage-skills programs haven't worked. Long-term trends toward fewer marriages prevail across incomes, cultures and countries.
In some circumstances, marriage may even be the wrong answer. Is it better, for example, to raise children in a home where the two parents are constantly fighting? In one study of single mothers, more than two-thirds of those who married ended up divorced by the time they were 35 to 44, at which point they were worse off economically than if they had stayed single.
It's also possible that the absence of marriage doesn't cause poverty but that poverty causes less marriage. Black women, who make up a disproportionate number of single mothers, tell researchers they would like to be married but too often that means having another mouth to feed. To a statistician, marriage may make sense, but to many women, it doesn't.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, the Republican presidential aspirant who has taken up the issue, is right to worry about the consequences when children are raised by poor, single parents. But if we're to be guided by the data, he could just as well tell parents "Go to college" as "Get married." In 2009, the median income of families headed by a parent with a college degree was $100,000. The median income of households headed by a high-school dropout was $31,000.
What must come first are investments in poor children, regardless of their parents' marital status. The United States needs policies that encourage kids to stay in school, and parents to work, and then supplements the incomes of the working poor. This path has more bipartisan support than direct cash benefits to able-bodied adults do.
And it works, as President Bill Clinton's welfare reforms demonstrated. Two other programs, the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit, have reduced poverty more than any other federal program except Social Security. Because they are available only to workers, the tax credits encourage parents, single or not, to stay employed. And because the credits are refundable, even those with no income-tax liability benefit.
In his State of the Union speech this week, President Barack Obama was right to propose an expansion of the earned income tax credit to help childless workers who now qualify for only a minuscule sum. Rubio supports the concept, having proposed direct wage subsidies for all working poor adults, including the childless. So long as Rubio doesn't envision cutting benefits to working parents in order to cover childless adults, it seems there are grounds for a Rubio-Obama deal.
In some cases, of course, marriage can benefit working parents. But there are more effective and efficient ways for the government to reduce poverty. To suggest otherwise is to engage in a false debate.

Jane Nylander Interview
As a curator and museum director, Historic New England President Emerita Jane Nylander has been active in historic preservation in New England since the 1960s. Nylander held positions at institutions such as Old Sturbridge Village and the Strawbery Banke Museum, and was president of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (now Historic New England) for ten years. In this interview with Historic New England's Ken Turino on December 19, 2010, she discussed changes in the historic preservation movement over the course of her career.
Q: You have been involved with preservation your whole career. Could you tell how you first got involved with preservation in the broadest sense?
JN: In every case it has been a byproduct of a museum curatorial position. I came to a community starting in York, Pennsylvania, but then very quickly to Concord, New Hampshire, where of course there was a historic preservation emergency which needed attention. In those days, in the 1960s, there was no organization to deal with it other than the historical society. So in Concord for example within the first few weeks I was confronted with the threat to demolition of a 1790s building at the primary entrance to the city, threatened by IBM to replace the building with a "modern" [makes hand quotes] office building and a building that had been much beloved as a tavern and then in the 1920s a tea room, the Rumford Tea Room, what else, in Concord, New Hampshire. We lost it, I would say, because there was no organized structure in the community, no procedures for demolition delay or any of the tools we have for preservation now. The irony is that today the IBM building has been through three or four owners, most recently New Hampshire Public Radio and now the State Employees Union, and it is endlessly for rent or lease.
Q: You were talking about that story in the 1960s, which was that loss of the tavern. In your career there have been a lot of changes in how we perceive historic preservation. Could you elaborate on how the preservation movement has changed over time?
JN: Well, I will try. There have been others who have been far more actively involved in it from an administrative level than I have. But happily, historic preservation has developed into a profession and into a political movement, if you will. There have been established laws and regulations, historic preservation districts, and commissions that have legislative authority and governing authority and regulatory authority over the way things like this are addressed. It is a profession and there are people now who specialize in advocacy and in developing these tools. There are academic programs to prepare historians and new people to the profession to have the tools and the background to use these things effectively. There also is of course a much broader grass roots support for historic preservation that has been effectively organized and mobilized in many places including New Hampshire. There are groups ready to apply political pressure and lobby where necessary and step up with contributions of time, skill, and cash when necessary. In the beginning days earlier in this century the general thought was that the way to preserve a building was to own it and that of course gave rise to the establishment of an enormous number of historic house museums. Fortunately, that is no longer the case. The development of adaptive use techniques and understanding ways to repurpose these buildings for twentieth-century, twenty-first-century use has greatly broadened the potential success of the preservation movement and is really significant for how it will go forward.
Q: I think there is still a struggle out there in that a lot of people just think that the only way to preserve a house is to make it a museum.
JN: I think that is absolutely true. During the ten years I was director of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA) in Boston, I don't think a week went by that I did not have at least one if not five calls from people saying, "I want you to have my house." I would always ask why and try to lead them through a thought process to identify why the house was significant, why it should be of public benefit, how we would take it as a museum, what it would say, what its purpose would be. It often was that the house was a place they loved. It had no historic context that in itself made it significant. It was an important part of the architectural fabric of the community and of their own personal lives. It was usually possible to lead people to realize that there were other solutions that would protect and preserve the house and that it did not have to become a museum, but that idea is still widespread as you suggest and as I certainly experienced it as I defended our institution from these endless calls.
Q: Could you make any comment about the importance of our Stewardship Program at Historic New England?
JN: I think it was really trend-setting when the Stewardship Program was established at SPNEA because it finally established a mechanism by which historic property could have important architectural features preserved and yet enter the private sector. It remained on the tax rolls and it could be used for any number of active, current uses that were not museum-natured at all. The program identified very carefully and documented the condition of significant architectural elements, including exterior and interior architectural detail, fireplaces, mantles, trim, decorative painting, floor boards. We did not put preservation restrictions on areas we knew owners would want to use for kitchens or bathrooms because we knew they would want flexibility in adapting those to modern use, but we did restrict and have control over additions or alterations to the building. We set up a program whereby an architectural historian will visit annually at least to discuss upcoming maintenance needs and help the owners prepare for things that needed to be done so that the buildings could be kept in good repair and remain viable long into the future. In order to put a house in this program, an owner needed to deed those restrictions to SPNEA and to contribute to an endowment fund which would support the staff that would visit the house periodically and make the inspections. It would establish a legal defense fund whereby the organization could litigate if necessary if an owner went ahead and did something that was against the spirit or the actual nature of the restrictions. That has been one of the successes of the program because there are any number of organizations in the country that have taken a small number of restrictions without the endowment to support that staff member and without the legal defense fund to enforce the restrictions and they have therefore had no teeth in them. SPNEA's program has grown now to over seventy-five, maybe more than eighty-five at this point, buildings, not all houses, and therefore the funds to support the program have grown as the endowment fund has grown and it has given it a great strength. It has a dedicated staff that takes care of those buildings and makes sure the restrictions are enforced and of course brings more houses into the program.
Q: When did you come to Strawbery Banke?
JN: I came to Strawbery Banke in 1986 having been a curator at Old Sturbridge Village. I came here to be director of the museum. I can remember driving around the property with my husband on Thanksgiving Day, maybe the day before Thanksgiving, in a cold rain storm thinking, "Why would anybody want to be director of a place that looked that bad?" Strawbery Banke at that time still had many many many unrestored buildings and had not done anything with exterior maintenance for years. Yet the more I thought about it, the more I realized what an exciting opportunity there was to do something new and different with a community of buildings, not simply restore them all to one date but to try to show visitors of all kinds the way in which architecture has framed lives over many many different years. So I came here with that in mind and we began quickly to restore and furnish as museum house exhibits a number of the buildings, making the story of the entire chronology of this place vivid to visitors in a way that it had never been and that was brand new in the museum field at that point. We started off by doing a 1954 submarine worker's apartment, which attracted incredible attention and still is popular with visitors whose primary lines to their children are either "we used to have one of those" or "we still have one of those." But for me, what it does is cut through the museum-ness of the place and help people realize that history is about them. It is not just about great important people. It is not all about George Washington visiting Pitt Tavern and reading the Declaration of Independence from the old State House balcony which no longer exists, but it is about ordinary people. It is about all of us. So, we worked with the submarine worker's apartment, which we did with the best standards of curatorial research. The research was based on interviews and research into the actual family that had lived in that particular space. We then moved on through other buildings here at Strawbery Banke and did the William Pitt Tavern to a 1770s inventory. We did the apartment, the residential apartment and grocery store of Bertha Abbott, and set that as it might have been right during the middle of World War II. Ultimately, a Victory Garden and garage exhibition were added to that. Then we went on and took another 1790s house and restored that as it had been lived in by a first-generation Jewish immigrant family from Russia and that was revolutionary in this field at that particular time. We went on to do several other exhibitions as well. Some of them were traditional; established cooking demonstrations in a nineteenth-century wheelwright house and things of that sort. I think the exciting and different part of it was the twentieth-century exhibitions which were, when we first did them in the late 1980s, pretty unusual.
Q: Right, and still tremendously popular with the public today. Was there one that was more satisfying than the others for you?
JN: For me the first one was the most satisfying because that was the one I was most involved in. Once we had done one we were able to hire additional staff and they were able to be more closely involved with the exhibition. But the submarine one I was most closely involved with and that of course involves everything from collecting memories to collecting objects, and as an old-time curator I love that kind of stuff.

Not great
Coding errors in Arcade Mode made first experience almost one of instant deletion of app. In this mode no terrorist rocks up and after four minutes of waiting I got bored. There is no in scope function. More scenario UAT guys ... This is an early feedback request based on 10 minutes usage although cant see me wasting much more life on it... Deletion still imminent
Great game when I worked what trigger to press on the app blaster. When I got into it it was great I recommend it to anybody especially with the app blaster.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $11.27 (23% off)
Great Stuff
Posted by Reviewer2785620 on Nov 17, 2008
I bought this to supplement my protein intake on days that I eat mostly vegetarian meals. For the protein content, it is quite low in calories. I adjust the serving size to provide the amount of daily protein intake I need to make up. It makes a great milk shake by combining it with soy milk and crushed ice in the blender. I've also used it with egg nog, yogurt, and fruit juice. In the can I bought, the scoop was burried half way down in the can, so I didn't even realize it came with a measuring scoop until I had used several servings. When priced per serving and considering the protein and calorie content, this is a better value than most protein powders.
Good Stuff!
Posted by Reviewer2206388 on Jul 22, 2008
I got this instead of the whey recommended on the Fat Flush Plan, and it does very well for a lot less. Very digestible and the taste is not overly sweet either - mixes very well.
I love this product!
Posted by Reviewer2667593 on Jul 23, 2008
I love this wpi protein. It was recommended by my personal trainer and it's helped me a lot. The flavor is good, it mixes well and it's lactose-free. I'll buy it as long as they make it. cp
Great source of protein
Posted by Reviewer1411908 on Oct 01, 2008
I love the taste of this "plain, natural flavor" when mixed with milk. I use it twice daily to increase my protein intake and love drinking it every time.
Bio Chem Whey Protein powder
Posted by Reviewer3044223 on Jul 08, 2008
Excellent value and good quality whey. Neutral taste without any of the artificial additives found in other protein powders.
great for the "6 week cure"
Posted by Reviewer3031816 on Jun 09, 2010
We use this whey protein as part of "The 6 week cure" by Drs Eades & Eades. Tastes good, low carb, 20g of protein per serving, and works as part of the weight loss and improved metabolism regime proposed by the Eades. We lost weight, lowered cholesterol and BP drinking two shakes a day. No additives and it's 90% undenatured. Great product, reasonably priced. As always, Iherb has low prices and prompt service.
Mixed Result
Posted by Reviewer3327222 on Feb 03, 2009
I used to add it to the smoothie (veg plus fruit). However it caused little burp problem. I guess it is not good to mix it with the fruit though the taste is good. It is not good to eat this whey protein with cod fish oil as well. It is going cause a lot of burping problem.
whey protein from bio chem
Posted by Reviewer2300830 on May 11, 2008
excellent product, little after taste, mixes easily
Best I've used.
Posted by Reviewer2866424 on Jun 26, 2009
I've used quite a few brand and have stuck with this for two years now. No flavor so it mixes with anything. Good sustainable energy
Favorite Whey protein
Posted by Reviewer1875032 on Apr 25, 2011
I have been using this whey protien for two years, almost every day. I tried MANY different proteins from vitamin shops and natural food stores and finally got hooked on this one. It is one of the most natural whey protein powders I found that uses natural vanilla flavoring and no sweeteners. I just started purchasing this from iherb.com since it is MUCH cheaper than buying from Whole Foods. I use it mostly in fruit smoothies, but sometimes use it mixed with milk and have no problem with texture after shaking very well.

This summer is proving to be a busy time for current and soon-to-be Stanford women's soccer players plus a Menlo Park resident as two US Soccer national teams sharpen their skills in training camps.
The entire roster is made up entirely of current collegiate players or players who played their senior seasons last fall. The roster includes four players from defending NCAA champion UCLA, including 2013 MAC Hermann Trophy finalist Abby Dahlkemper. The Menlo Park resident and Sacred Heart Prep grad who finished behind winner Morgan Brian and defender Crystal Dunn, who are both now regulars on U.S. WNT head coach Jill Ellis' squad.
Brian, who has seen the majority of her national team action this year with the senior side, was also named to the U-23 roster.
The U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team, meanwhile, is a week away from wrapping up its two-week training camp (July 9-23) in Seattle, Wash. After that, the team departs for the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada.
Following the camp in Seattle, 21 players will be named to represent the USA in the seventh FIFA championship for this age level. The first two were held as U-19 tournaments in 2002 and 2004 with the last four being staged as U-20 events.
The 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup will run from Aug. 5-24 in Edmonton, Moncton, Montreal and Toronto. The USA was drawn into Group B and will open its tournament on Aug. 5 in Edmonton against Germany, which the U.S. beat in the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup final. The U-20 WNT will then face Brazil on Aug. 8 in Edmonton and finish group play against China PR on Aug. 12 in Moncton.
The training camp roster features 17 players who helped the USA qualify for the U-20 Women's World Cup by winning the CONCACAF U-20 Women's Championship last January in the Cayman Islands.
Two players, defenders Cari Roccaro and Stephanie Amack from Stanford, are holdovers from the U.S. team that won the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan, while nine others represented the USA at the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Azerbaijan.
Stanford also will be represented by keeper Jane Campbell, defender Laura Liedle and incoming freshman Andi Sullivan.
Sullivan will have to delay her Stanford debut until after the World Cup. She was among the most dominant prep players in the country and was ranked as the No. 1 overall recruit for the class of 2014 on Top Drawer Soccer.

Homo erectus has clitorises, too.
You've probably heard that humans are lacking a penis bone, the baculum. But did you know that we also lack a clitoral bone?
Alison Atkin is a Ph.D. student in osteoarchaeology at the University of Sheffield, studying plague cemeteries. Her research is presented in this quirky, hand-drawn poster. Don't miss GIFs of the interactive panels at her blog, Deathsplanation.
"Osteobiography" : the "biography of the bones"
"There's a wonderful term used by anthropologists: "osteobiography," the "biography of the bones." Kennewick Man's osteobiography tells a tale of an eventful life, which a newer radiocarbon analysis puts at having taken place 8,900 to 9,000 years ago. He was a stocky, muscular man about 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing about 160 pounds. He was right-handed. His age at death was around 40." After years of legal wrangling and scientific arguments, Smithsonian Magazine takes on the history of the Kennewick Man and the long-awaited publication of studies co-edited by physical anthropologist Douglas Owsley (of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History's Anthropology department.)

Who are the Nazi War Diggers?
Now four men – the War Diggers - are scouring Eastern Europe in a battered Soviet era jeep, armed with metal detectors, shovels and sheer grit. Their mission is to uncover these forgotten battlefields and the buried stories in them. This is a race against time to get the history from the ground before it's lost forever.Talent biographies are available here. Conflict Antiquities has a long list of unanswered "urgent ethical and legal questions". The Anonymous Swiss Collector has a response from National Geographic [opens as word document], but questions remain. Archaeologists, osteologists, anthropologists, and others have not been pleased: the #NaziWarDiggers hashtag has more responses. [more inside]

The 'grotesque beauty' of medieval Britons' diseased bones
Digitised Diseases is an open access resource featuring human bones which have been digitised using 3D laser scanning, CT and radiography. The resource focuses on a wide range of pathological type specimens from archaeological and historical medical collections, specifically examples of chronic diseases which affect the human skeleton for which many of the physical changes are often not directly observable within clinical practice. Of major interest to many will be high fidelity photo-realistic digital representations of 3D bones that can be viewed, downloaded and manipulated on their computer, tablet or smartphone.

Small Things
But Texas and I got off to kind of a bad start when I went, the first or second week I lived there, to get my new driver's license.
Bart and I had only been married about 8 months at that point, so I'd gotten a new driver's license the week after we were married. My new Utah license was glorious. The picture was good, my hair looked terrific, and I had no problem whipping it out when requested. It was a glorious replacement for my first driver's license in Nevada where I had braces, looked about 8, and had my head turned to the side (you were required by law to do that if you were under 21, but anyone outside the state thought I was just too dumb to look straight at the camera).
Texas not only demanded my perfect license, but then handed me over a new Texas license that was, in short, heinous. As if the horrible cream-yellow background color wasn't bad enough, the picture was unflattering in every possible way. My hair looked terrible. My face looked round. You could almost see the photographer in the shine on my face. It was horrendous.
Two years ago, I went in to the doctor's office and when they pulled out my file, I saw a copy of my Utah license that they'd made when I came in the week I'd moved to Texas. I wept again at the loss.
Last Friday, Bart and I went to the DMV and I got a new drivers license (I know, I know, I'm not the only one who thinks this is an absurd amount of drivers licenses in just a few years). When the woman at the desk flipped the screen around so I could see my picture, I almost hugged her. It was a good picture. One I won't shudder at every single time I'm asked for ID (which, granted, is not that often).
Massachusetts, you're already winning me over.
Of course, if you hadn't charged me ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a new lovely license picture, you'd be winning me over a little faster.
21 comments:
I can so relate. I used to have a good one too. I almost begged the lady to let me keep the picture. I would not suggest trying to bribe a DMV employee. lolReplyDelete
$100 for a new license is absolutely insane.
Wow, I was married two years before I changed my license, and lived in Texas a year before I changed mine there. You are such a law abiding citizen : )ReplyDelete
I gotta tell ya, I'm surprised you're so quick to get a new license! I got a new one a month or two after we got married, mostly because I needed the accurate ID for my job. But I didn't get a new one in NY and have no intention of getting a new on in NV if I don't have to (actually I think mine will expire while we live here.)Jacob still has his WI one from when he was 16 because they don't expire for 10 years. Is there a reason to get one every time you move?ReplyDelete
Ugh - people always thought I was handicapped when they saw my original NV one. "What are you looking at? Get distracted?"ReplyDelete
I still have my 2nd NV one - I never changed my residency to UT or PA or anything, and I LOVE it. The picture is great (I can't figure out how to do my hair that good again). I'm going to cry when I have to get a CA one. And knowing CA, they'll probably charge me a hundred dollars or so.
Oo. . . . I love my Oregon license too. WAY better than the one I gave up from Utah.ReplyDelete
However, my Texas license, though perfectly adequate, required that I wait in line approximately 3.6 hours in a barely air conditioned DMV which resemebled an old trailer. It was one of TWO in Harris County--the most populated county in the WHOLE COUNTRY.
In short, the Texas DMV is pretty much my definition of hell.
$100??? That's absolutely insane! I'm glad you like your picture. It's never fun to have a picture you don't like that you have to show people.ReplyDelete
Holy CRAP that's a lot of money. I thought DC was expensive--they charge $39!ReplyDelete
$100 is absurd! We had to pay $20 each to get our new KY licenses. Yay for a nice picture though!ReplyDelete
Note to Emily - yes, you need to update your license - for banking, for voting, for being involved in church and/or school activities (if you ever have charge of children), getting a library card, etc. etc. etc. Some states have an expiration date and will fine you and/or make you take a driving test if you don't change your driver's license within a certain amount of time living in a new state.ReplyDelete
Change plates quickly, too. (Washington State is so bad about license plates that when I used to go into the state one or two times a week and park at a private house, police would follow me around town to make sure I left the state. I was lucky and never got stopped. Others people tell of horror stories and having to go to court to prove that they were just visiting for a week! If you live in Idaho and work in Washington State - watch out!)
Janssen - $100. Crazy. Insane. Ripoff. At least the picture was good.
My first driver's license picture (from the state of Michigan) was probably one of the best pictures ever taken of me. sigh
Sorry for the book.
I am NOT changing my license until I need to, especially since we'll likely be moving from IL to WI. Why spend all the time, money, and frustration when my Texas license is perfectly fine until 2013 ( 2013!! ).ReplyDelete
For the issues of paperwork, that's the beauty of a passport.
$100 is purely criminal.
AMEN! I had a wonderful license pic too- then I had to renew it and it fell about whenReplyDelete
I was SIX MONTHS PREGNANT- my face was fat and bloated- it's awful- and I had a beautiful pic before!So annoying- and $100- annoying- at least it'sa good pic though!
I totally understand the ID picture hatred.ReplyDelete
It would be worth it to move out of state if only for a new ID.
I wish I were exaggerating.
$100 is crazy talk.ReplyDelete
I learned yesterday that in Arizona licenses expire after THIRTY YEARS! THIRTY! Imagine showing people your 24-year-old self when you are 54.
My Texas license still hasn't expired. Of course, the Utah license people punched holes in it to make it invalid. Plus it has my old name. But it was a great picture. I still carry it with me.
My last Idaho license was my "favorite" photo - I'm standing there smiling, waiting for the lady to snap the picture (in front of throngs of people who are looking on,waiting for their turn)...waiting....waiting...waiting....finally, I go to say "Humm, are you going to take the picture?", that's when she snaps it. Naturally, my mouth is open, face befuddled, eyes looking off in some odd direction - I think they do it on purpose and then sit and laugh over the worst photos on their lunch breaks!ReplyDelete
I'm impressed that you actually got new licenses so quickly! I still have a NH license and I've been living in MA for... oh, I don't know, 6 years?ReplyDelete
$100?! Whew! Does that new license come with a small bit of gold perhaps? Some food samples? Free gas? Sheesh!ReplyDelete
COUGH! $100 for a driver's license? Painful. However, I totally understand! My current photo is AWFUL because I thought I was just getting a renewal sticker when I went in, but no: I had to get an all-new card, and I totally wasn't prepared. I seriously have people question whether or not it's me on my DL because the photo is so bad.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you got a photo you like!

Brad has been missing his license for three weeks. And his debit card and temple recommend. Everything is enclosed in his duct tape wallet which is also missing somewhere in our two-square-feet apartment. I'm beginning to think that it fell on the ground and threw it away thinking that it was a useless ball of used duct tape...
Long story, sorry!

Walden Makes Plea For Timber Legislation
By Jim McCoy
Fri 23rd August
government finances
Greg Walden
to post comments
U.S. Rep. Greg Walden from Oregon's 2nd District today released the following statement on support from county commissioners and public safety officials for bipartisan forestry legislation he co-authored that is moving through Congress: "I appreciate the support for our bipartisan forestry plan from these elected officials today. Our common-sense plan would put people back to work in the woods and provide certainty for local communities. Momentum is building to change our broken system—from local communities to the halls of Congress. This issue is too important to Oregonians to be held up any longer. We have to move quickly to get this done for our state. We're seeing too many fires, consume too much forestland, filling our skies with smoke all summer long. Meanwhile, we spend millions and millions fighting fire. This broken system has to change. "Our bipartisan plan was approved by the House Natural Resources Committee a few weeks ago, and I have a commitment from the House leadership that it will be considered by the full House in September. Now is the time to get this done for Oregon." Thursday, elected officials from financially hard hit counties in Southern Oregon—including Jackson and Josephine Counties—held a press conference in support of the bipartisan O&C Trust, Conservation and Jobs plan offered by Walden and two of his colleagues from Oregon, Reps. Peter DeFazio and Kurt Schrader. Their proposal would create jobs, provide revenues to failing Oregon counties, help sustain the local manufacturing base, save the federal government hundreds of millions of dollars, and protect water, fish, and old growth. The plan was approved by the House Natural Resources Committee as part of a larger forestry bill, the Restoring Healthy Forests For Healthy Communities Act (H.R. 1526). The bill renews the federal government's commitment to manage federal forests for the benefit of rural communities, improves forest health, and helps prevent catastrophic wildfires like the ones burning around Oregon.

Today (Tuesday, July 9th) at 10:00am ET, BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) will hold its Annual and Special Meeting. Given the recent miss on Q1 2014 results, the disastrous earnings call that followed, the 30% drop in stock price, and yet another tsunami of negative reporting about BlackBerry's imminent demise, the BlackBerry board of directors must now assess the damage to its brand value, business strategy and customer relations.
Investors should not underestimate the importance of decisive board leadership on these matters because over the next quarter, rightly or wrongly, many enterprise and consumer customers will be less likely to invest in expensive technology products from a company that they perceive as unlikely to provide software and hardware updates as well as technical support over the long term. Moreover, many independent application developers will be reassessing their development plans for the BlackBerry 10 platform with a similar level of concern.
Inside of this context, some commentators and investors have called for a change of BlackBerry's top leadership. Many have been particularly critical of Thorsten Heins, CEO. If the BlackBerry Board plans to minimize or even reverse the current trend, there are three areas of Mr. Heins' performance that they must address right now: Strategy, Execution and Public Relations.
In this article, I will highlight the key issues relating to each of BlackBerry's primary business initiatives and how they relate to the performance of BlackBerry's top leader.
The flat screen Z10 began its phased roll out in Great Britain January 31st, 2013 and by the Q1 earnings call had become available in 147 countries, including the United States. During its first months in the market, analysts of all stripes engaged in epic levels of channel checking and public debate to determine the Z10's consumer appeal and sell through. This is because the Z10 is widely viewed as BlackBerry's best hope to attain broad appeal with retail consumers from outside of its traditional enterprise customer base.
Above any other issue, the Z10 sell through number was the primary data point everyone anticipated during the Q1 call. The bears won! BB10 shipments came in at ~2.7m units well below the 3-6M anticipated during the debate. But importantly many argued that Thorsten Heins strengthened the bear sentiment by not providing more specific numbers to differentiate (1) between BB7 and BB10 sales; (2) between channel fill and sell through; or (3) between the Z10 and Q10 models.
This once again left investors to speculate. One estimate, presented here on Seeking Alpha, has calculated Z10 sales at a mere .8M the 2014-Q1. Most analysts simply do not buy Thorsten's argument that Z10 sales were so low because it was still in the early stages of its launch. The Z10 had been available for four months and didn't catch - period!
The Qwerty keyboard Q10 launched April 29th in the United Kingdom and is currently available in 96 countries, including the U.S. It is expected to launch in 50 more countries within Q2. By most accounts the Q10 is outselling the Z10 and is expected to make a significant positive contribution to Q2 earnings.
Many believe that Thorsten Heins should have released the Q10 first, because it was in a better position to catch the pent-up demand from BlackBerry's core audience: hyper connected professionals. They also contend that the Q10 should have received greater marketing support with carriers rather than a series of expensive high profile sponsorships with Sports Teams, Formula One, and Entertainers.
Michael Collins, a long time BlackBerry commentator had this to say,
…imagine what kind of support Heins would have obtained from AT&T (NYSE:T) and others had he shown them a $50M Media plan surrounding AT&T Q10s.
The Q5, a lower cost Qwerty device intended primarily for emerging markets, presents a wildcard for Q2 earnings. It premiered in Dubai in late June and is expected to launch in 59 countries in Q2. Initial technology reviews such as this one have been respectable but most have not rated the device an exceptional value unless BlackBerry lowers the price. In fact one BlackBerry analyst presents a compelling case that BlackBerry must now accept slightly lower gross margins in order to gain higher market share by lowering the price point for all BB10 devices.
Playbook Tablet
Regarding BlackBerry's efforts to deliver their promised BB10 update for Playbook, Thorsten Heins stated during the Q1 earnings call that, "I am not satisfied with the level of performance and user experience, and I made the difficult decision to stop these efforts." Many if not most loyal Playbook owners including this succinct writer perceive his decision as a breach of trust.
Many saw it coming; the choice fit well with one of Mr. Heins' most controversial market views. In a recent interview he stated,
In five years there won't be a reason to have a tablet….Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such…[from a hardware perspective]…Tablets are not a good business model.
Heins has his finger on a key pain point for consumers and developers alike: the lack of synergy presented by having one operating system for mobile platforms and another for desk top computers. Heins is right to argue that the first company to market a single, native and fully functional OS for both mobile and desk top platforms will achieve a major market advantage. But he may be badly mistaken to assume that tablets, laptops and desktops will simply run as slave screens for smart phones; and he can't afford to alienate his tablet audience in order to get there.
Future Hardware Products
Some believe that Mr. Heins is missing valuable opportunities to maximize sales to BlackBerry's core consumer audience: Qwerty keyboard lovers. In a recent article posted here on Seeking Alpha, Michael Collins makes the argument:
BlackBerry [hasn't] even so much as hinted of the release of the second most popular keyboard device, the BlackBerry torch 'slider'. Rather, Mr. Heins is going [to] repeat the Z10 mistake again with the BlackBerry 'A10 Phablet' as he insists on pushing flat screens upon an unwilling Qwerty audience.
There has been a great deal of anticipation among BlackBerry loyalists regarding the rumored "A10", a larger flat-screen device with more powerful hardware than the Z10. But with news of slow sales of the Z10 and the perceived abandonment of the Playbook, has Mr. Heins unwittingly dampened that market buzz?
BES10 & Secure Work Space
BlackBerry's outlook in Enterprise Mobility is bright. With the number of companies that have either ordered, downloaded, or installed BES 10 growing from 12,000 in mid May to 18,000 by late June, BlackBerry has a clear opportunity to capitalize on the $99.00 per unit, per year, license fee they will charge enterprise customers to adopt its Secure Work Space application for Apple and Android phones. This represents a strong step by BlackBerry to address the BYOD trend and retain its market position in enterprise mobility. Thorsten deserves substantial credit for this accomplishment.
Mobile Software Updates for Vehicles
It is too early to determine how well BlackBerry will perform in the machine-to-machine (M2M) communications market for automobiles, but according to project management, BlackBerry is in talks with every major automaker to ensure that the system meets industry standards. Mr. Heins is right to leverage every available corner of the M2M market that is now available from their acquisition of QNX.
BlackBerry Messenger
There are also intriguing signs regarding the cross platform launch of BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) and its related consumer services software. The May 14th Beta launch of BBM Channels, BlackBerry's new social networking application, has generated 60,000 active users and 20,000 channels in 160 countries. BlackBerry recently updated the app with a number of new features. But for BlackBerry to compete in social media, Thorsten Heins will have to nail the public relations by listening to its core customers. Here is one example.
BBM Money
In late February, BlackBerry in partnership with Indonesia's PT Bank Permata announced a pilot mobile payment service: BBM Money. Monitise (LSE: MONI.L) reported May 22nd that 60,000 subscribers have adopted BBM Money in the first 90 days. Moreover, Google Trends reveals that among Indonesians search interest for the term "BBM Money" grew from 44 of 100 basis points to 49 between May and June. It is intriguing to note that in contrast to the North American and the Europe, Africa, Middle East (EAME) regions, BlackBerry's subscriber base in Asia Pacific increased by 29% since the end of the fiscal 1st quarter 2013. But recent accounts of yet another Indonesian Service Outage have shaken consumer confidence in the new system.
From the beginning of his first tenure as CEO in January of 2012, Thorsten Heins accepted personal responsibility for the daunting turnaround of a struggling company. From the start he did not receive a warm reception from Wall Street. But Mr. Heins brought a clear vision to his new role: To make BlackBerry the market leader in mobile computing within five years. He fights hard, but he needs to improve his Strategy, Execution and Public Relations.
Clearly, BlackBerry still has massive long-term potential for upside to its share price. It has a strong balance sheet, a worldwide presence in mobile computing and is pursuing a significant number of business initiatives any one of which could radically improve its market position. Nonetheless, BlackBerry should be treated as a speculative long-term investment up and until we see significant improvements to its Strategy, Execution and Public Relations.
The above listed article provides a framework for healthy debate. Here are some final ideas. If you were a member of the BlackBerry board meeting this Tuesday, what questions would you have for Mr. Heins? By what metrics would you measure his performance? What would be your approach to maximizing BlackBerry's market potential?

IN DEPTH: GE's space-frame tower
High in the Tehachapi Mountains north of Los Angeles, GE has unveiled its space-frame turbine tower, a steel and architectural fabric concept seen as a breakthrough in the campaign to cut the capital cost of wind power.
The design, launched at EWEA 2014 in Barcelona in a 139-metre version topped with a 2.75-120 GE turbine, is build around an "Eiffel-tower-like" lattice structure clad with high-tensile polyester panels.
The technology could carve "a large slice" out of the price of a conventional tubular tower by streamlining fabrication and transportation, while opening up the possibility of ultra-tall 150-metre turbines.
"When we started doing this project, I and a lot of other people had reservations about how it would look. Seeing it up, everyone is converted," Keith Longtin, GE's wind product-line general manager, tells Recharge.
"It is a leap forward for the industry. It... shows clearly there is great potential for cost-effective scale-up of wind turbines with much taller towers.
"The industry is moving toward taller towers, that's no secret. And when you get up into the 130-150-metre-plus technologies, the material cost savings go from being 20-30% lower [for a 100-120-metre tower] to closer to 40%."
GE expects the tower to be a "perfect fit" for the emerging markets of lower-wind and heavily forested sites in Scandinavia and the rest of Northern Europe. "The next round of permits going out in these regions, they are looking for 140 metres," notes Longtin. "And our design can be extended in 12-metre sections, so we can go still higher, as required. The physics aren't limiting."
The 97-metre-tall prototype was assembled with a 1.7MW 1.7-100 turbine at Tehachapi, where a three-month testing programme begins this week.
The prototype took a month to install, but GE expects to whittle that down to "around four days, like a conventional tower".
"Overall time of construction will be the same, material usage much less," Longtin adds. "Once the panel material was decided on, that drove us toward the five-legged design and overall architecture. The beauty of it is that you are not constrained by diameter."
Conventional steel tower sections must be less than 4.3 metres wide to be manoeuvrable under bridges and along most roads. The space-frame tower, designed with a maintenance-free bolting system, can been packed up in a dozen freight containers and trucked "pretty much anywhere in the world you want it", says Longtin.
"Shipping a 150-tonne steel tower section to some of the more remote locations where there is little or no road infrastructure is a real challenge. With the new tower, everything changes," he says.
Project leader Kathy Verna adds: "When you are transporting huge tubular tower sections, you are talking fleet permits, weather delays, restrictions on travelling through certain areas at certain times. With the space-frame tower, all the parts [supplied by a 'Midwest manufacturer'] were onsite in California two days after our phone call."
One of the hidden benefits of the five-legged design, notes Longtin, is its stability in seismically active zones. "In earthquake-prone areas you are going to have a big advantage over tubular towers — our tower will be much more stable."
The modular design also means the component parts can be built on assembly lines, speeding up fabrication and honing quality control.
"This project has required an entirely different business model — from how engineering interacts with project development and sourcing and supply chains," concludes Verna.

8 Short Videos X 8 Long Stories
Eight up-and-coming directors to portray eight fashion houses that have made Italy famous in the world. This is 8 Short Videos X 8 Long Stories
8 Short Videos X 8 Long Stories is not just the title of an exhibition organized by Vogue Italia and by the Italian Trade Commission, which will be opened up today, September 9th, in New York. 8 Short Videos X 8 Long Stories is the story of what "Italy" means all over the world. Eight short movies, created by eight young and international film directors selected by Vogue Italia's Editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani, will interpret the spirit of eight maisons who made Italy an excellence all over the world.
Versace, Fendi, Gucci, Missoni, Prada, Valentino, Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana: these stories of creativity are told through the creativity itself. "Creativity is what makes Italy well-known around the world and fashion at its best is a celebration of creativity," said Sozzani. "With 8 Short Videos x 8 Long Stories the artfulness of eight extraordinary Italian designers meets the inventiveness of eight talented young directors for a tribute to virtue and greatness." However, creativity and inventiveness cannot be separated from research and experimentation, with a focus on new technologies. The short movies presented in 8 Short Videos x 8 Long Stories have all been shot with an iPhone.
