Katharina Fritsch thinks in pictures.1 For more than two decades, she has produced both handmade and industrially fabricated objects that begin as immaterial visions in her imagination. Fritsch mines the fertile ground of her thoughts, experiences, and dreams as well as the history, myths, and fairy tales of her native Germany in search of archetypal or clichéd images from consumer culture that transcend autobiography. At once familiar and uncanny, her often darkly subversive subjects reside in a strange and melancholy world, the nature of which is subliminal and difficult to articulate. "At the moment viewers come into the space, the important thing is that they are drawn into something that perhaps does not seem so 'clean' at first," Fritsch explained in 1996, prior to mounting a major retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. "The fact that you perceive something, that you are astonished about something before you can identify its name or concept—these experiences are outside language."2
Formal clarity, strict order, purposeful repetition, and multiplication of forms have also been guiding impulses that at times have led to a protracted and labor-intensive artistic process. For Fritsch, scale, dimension, proportion, and color must coalesce perfectly or the sculpture is rejected, and the process of conceptualizing begins again. Gary Garrels, curator of the 1996 retrospective, aptly explains that for this extremely exacting artist, "locating a point of tension in form and proportion that corresponds to a personal and intuitive sense of rightness is critical. She has described this search as finding a standard, a specificity of scale and material, so that an object is transformed and removed from its ordinary function or association, existing apart from its normal circumstances."3
In 1979, Fritsch moved from her parents' house in Münster to Düsseldorf in order to study with Fritz Schwegler at the highly competitive Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, made famous by such artists as Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke, and Gerhard Richter. Although she was admitted to the program as a painter, Fritsch soon began exploring model-making. Some of these early handmade pieces include miniature architectural structures reminiscent of those found in the cities of Essen and Langenberg, where she spent her early years—a tapered, cylindrical brick chimney; a tunnel constructed out of wax; and a gray plastic mill building complete with gabled roof and water wheel. The heterogeneity of these forms is due to their varied sources in the artist's childhood memories.4
Fritsch brought these works and several others together for her first public exhibition at the Kunstakademie in 1980.5 Having learned and processed the lessons of the Minimalist artists who eschewed the use of pedestals (which she negatively associates with monuments) in favor of placing sculpture directly on the floor, Fritsch distinguished herself with a somewhat radical next step. Instead of opting to present a single, floor-bound sculpture, she brought several together and placed them on top of a simple, utilitarian table. The self-conscious placement of seemingly unrelated and emotionally inflected objects in space would become integral to Fritsch's mature artistic practice, which has taken many forms, including ephemeral performative and sound pieces, landscape architectural drawings, and large-scale installations. She has also elevated the multiple (three-dimensional editioned objects) to a position of central importance in her oeuvre.
Throughout her career, Fritsch has reused motifs by altering their size and presenting them singly or in groups. For instance, in 1982 she created Madonnenfigur (Madonna Figure), an unlimited-edition multiple and replica of a devotional figurine commemorating the 1858 miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France. Cast by hand in plaster and painted a matte finish of garish, fluorescent yellow, this former idol, intended to bolster religious fervor once the pilgrim is back home, becomes a different kind of icon. In Fritsch's hands it is transformed into a toy and rendered banal, even ridiculous. Color itself becomes a leveler and an irritant, signaling the viewer to stop and reconsider the subject in its altered state. By also multiplying the number of possible figures infinitely, Fritsch concurrently extinguishes the aura of the source image, while maintaining what she has referred to as "a spiritual structure."6
Two years later, this multiple became a component in a multipart piece entitled Warengestell (Display Stand) (1979–1984). Composed of five glass shelves installed with eleven other multiples by the artist—including Anturien (Anthurium) (1980), Grünes Seidentuch (Green Silk Scarf) (1982/1989), Schafe und Weisser Pappkarton (Sheep and White Cardboard Box) (1982/1990), and Fischring und Stern (Fish Ring and Star) (1983/1994), each also in the Walker Art Center's collection—this work foregrounded her interest in the thin line between high art and kitsch, and served as a not-so-subtle critique of the commodification of art. In 1987, Fritsch turned again to the Madonnenfigur, this time for her notorious public installation of the life-size Virgin in a pedestrian area in Münster, located between a Karstadt department store and a Dominican church. Still another reinterpretation of the multiple appeared the same year as Warengestell mit Madonnen (Display Stand with Madonnas), in which two hundred eighty-eight of the objects were installed on nine round, aluminum shelves. This fluidity of purpose and context suggests the potency of her chosen subject and her achievement at finding the essence and rightness of things.

Mlathi: paid below the legal minimum wage for making Adidas shirts in Indonesia
In 2011, Adidas, the official sportswear sponsor for the London 2012 Games, saw record sales of £10.6 billion. But workers making their goods still aren't getting their fair share of the profits, or having their workplace rights respected. This is Mlathi's story...
I'm 36 years old and have been a garment worker for the last nine years. I work in the sewing section at a factory making Adidas shirts.
'I don't have a written contract from the factory, but I'm a permanent member of staff. About 10% of us are permanent, and 90% of workers at the factory are on temporary contracts (1).
'I get paid Rp.1,121,000 (around £82) per month - which is below the legal minimum wage (2). The legal minimum wage in this province is Rp.1,173,250 (around £85). On my wages, I can't afford to buy the food I need to prepare proper nutritious meals. I don't earn enough to pay for decent accommodation either. I rent a room that's 3x4 metres and I share a communal bathroom.
'Workers at my factory can't refuse to work overtime, if we do, supervisors won't offer it to us anymore and we'd end up being sidelined. In terms of benefits, I'm entitled to paid annual leave and maternity leave, but there are no health insurance provisions (3).
'There are three unions in my factory, and I'm a member of the union GARTEKS KSBSI, which has been raising our concerns with my employer.
'I'd sum up my experience of being a garment worker by saying that I cannot always make ends meet, I'm often under pressure at work, and my rights are not fulfilled by the company.'
You can support the struggles of workers like Mlathi for Decent Work by getting involved in the Playfair 2012 campaign and taking the action which calls on Adidas, Nike and Pentland (makers of Speedo) to pay a living wage; respect the right to form/join a union, have no forced overtime, and provide job security.
This interview was carried out by GARTEKS KSBSI for the TUC. The worker did not want her real name to be used.
(1) Yet, according to Adidas, the use of contract workers must be clearly defined and, 'suppliers must not hire workers on a contract basis as a means for depriving such workers of the correct wage and benefits, or other rights and privileges provided to permanent workers,' furthermore, 'suppliers must not hire contract workers on a continuous basis, multiple short-term contracts, or as regular practice, to support normal business needs'. http://www.clearingthehurdles.org/response/b3-adidas
The Playfair 2012 campaign calls on Adidas to severely restrict the use of short-term contracts in its supply chains.
(2) According to Adidas' codes of conduct for suppliers: 'Wages must equal or exceed the minimum wage required by law or the prevailing industry wage, whichever is higher".
Minimum wages in Indonesia are less than half the amount needed for a worker to live and work in dignity. The Playfair 2012 is calling on Adidas to pay workers making its products a living wage.

Dem pollster: What Obama really needs is an Oklahoma City moment
posted at 12:15 pm on November 5, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Occasionally, political pundits get so wrapped up in their analysis that they don't think through all of the implications of their commentary. That happened to Mark Penn, longtime Democratic pollster, in his appearance on Hardball last night, in the most charitable explanation possible. Eyeblast's Joe Schoffstall clips this magic moment from the discussion with Chris Matthews on how disconnected Barack Obama has become from the American electorate, and what it will take for him to reconnect, using Bill Clinton as an example:
President Clinton reconnected with Oklahoma. And the President right now he seems removed. And it wasn't until that speech that he really clicked with the American people. Obama needs a similar kind of, yeah.
So it will take a terrorist attack for people to like Obama, or perhaps a natural disaster? That's what Penn says here, and it's worth noting that Matthews doesn't bat an eyelash at the suggestion. Had a Republican pollster suggested in 2004 or 2006 that George Bush could really use an "Oklahoma" to reconnect to the American people, the media would have run endless stories about "wag the dog" notions.
It's also worth noting that Obama did have that opportunity a year ago in the wake of the Fort Hood shootings, a massacre at least inspired by al-Qaeda that left 14 dead and more wounded. Instead of reconnecting to the American people in his speech that day, Obama took two minutes to give "shout-outs" to his allies at the conference that got interrupted by news of the attack before getting to the attack itself.
Also, this notion that Clinton needed the domestic-terrorist attack to reconnect to the electorate is ludicrous. Clinton always had a talent for making emotional connections to voters. His problem in 1994-5 wasn't a lack of emotional connection but having drifted too far left and too fast, and losing control of his agenda. He righted the ship by "triangulating" on the Republican agenda and staring down Newt Gingrich. Even during impeachment, when it became known that he had lied under oath, Clinton remained personally connected to the electorate and survived because of it.
I don't believe for a moment that Mark Penn wants another terrorist attack on the United States. I do think he should be a lot more careful about what prescriptions he offers for Obama's revival.

Rest and Relaxation on the Frio River
River Bluff Cabins • Rio Frio, TX
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Up to Four Guests in a Two-Bedroom, Two-Bath Log Cabin, Sundays through Wednesdays ($125) or Thursdays through Saturdays ($150)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Up to Eight Guests in a Three-Bedroom, Two-Bath Treehouse, Sundays through Wednesdays ($305) or Thursdays through Saturdays ($365)
- Two Firewood Bundles
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Four Nights
The Destination
Nestled on a bluff overlooking the pristine Frio River about 90 miles west of San Antonio, the River Bluff Cabins are the perfect spot for wildlife viewing—or just watching the river slip by under the shade of the enormous cypress and oak trees that bound the property. Garner State Park is also nearby, where visitors can hike, picnic, and fish. Meanwhile, motorcycle buffs can swing a leg over a saddle to ride the nearby Three Sisters Loop, or vicariously feel the wind in their hair at the Lone Star Motorcycle Museum.
The Digs
Cozy and rustic throughout, the cabins at River Bluff look out on either the tree-lined Frio River, or on the shared recreation area, where you can watch families enjoying the playground or volleyball court. In the warmer months, grab a tube or a fishing pole and head down to the river for a quick dip or to cast a line. If you prefer a bit more elbow room, check out The Treehouse, a fully furnished house that sleeps up to ten people and has a large porch to accommodate your brood.
"Hundreds of thousands of visitors flock here each year to enjoy Garner's matchless vacation facilities. They swim in the clear waters of the Frio River, shoot its rapids on inner tubes, rent paddle boats, and hike its fascinating nature trails."-- Texas Parks & Wildlife

Finally decided on a logo and business name.
The name will be in a circle but I don't want the name to track around the circle and have part of it end up upside down.
The bottom portion of the circle will show the name right side up.
I've been using CS5 Pshop for years but its a bit cumbersome for this.
Was able to lay it out in Pshop but it doesn't look balanced.
Can you use Publisher to create a circle logo as described above?

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM test and ranking.Wednesday May 11 2011 Lens Review
Designed to be an affordable L-series telephoto lens, the new EF70-300 f/4-5.6L IS USM is now tested and ranked on dxomark.com.
Specs seem very close to those of the previous non-L-series Canon EF70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM which is also available for comparison.
Take a look at the results...
Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM, DxOMark test results summary
First of all, its DxOMark score is pretty impressive for a telephoto zoom:
Mounted on a 5D Mark II the results are superior or close to 10 (DxOMark Score) on the whole focal range at 5.6.
This means that the global image quality will be high for every focal used, even when lighting conditions are difficult.
The resolution is very homogenous in the field, however it is not very high.
Distortion is very well controlled. Vignetting and chromatic aberration measurements do not show any remarkable defect.
Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM vs Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
The full comparison is available here : Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM vs Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Every aspect of image quality measured on dxomark.com shows improvements.
For this focal range, Canon provides here a very good L-series lens at an affordable price.
Here are other interesting camera lenses comparisons:
Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM vs Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM (mounted on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II) (please, remember to change the camera body on the drop-down menu).
Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM vs Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
Canon EF70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM vs Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO-M DG Macro Canon

Sullivan to serve 54 months in prison for her role as the mastermind of a conspiracy which cost the Department of Education in excess of $1,000,000. She was also ordered to perform 300 hours of community service upon her release from prison. Judge Sullivan also sentenced Elizabeth Mellen's husband, Luther E. Mellen, III, 54, former Branch Chief in the Architecture, Engineering and Real Estate Branch of the Environmental Protection Agency, to serve 27 months in prison and to pay a fine of $50,000. Elizabeth Mellen's son, Philip C. Burroughs, 29, a former manager at Ken Dixon Auto in Waldorf, Maryland, was sentenced by Judge Sullivan to serve 16 months in prison to be followed by the performance of 300 hours of community service.
Elizabeth Mellen had previously pled guilty to Conspiracy and Theft of Government Property on January 17, 2002. Philip Burroughs and Luther Mellen were both found guilty of Conspiracy to Defraud the United States and Receipt of Stolen Government Property on November 7, 2002, following a jury trial before Judge Sullivan. Burroughs was also found guilty of Theft of Government Property. Elizabeth Mellen's nephew, Jeffrey Morgan, also a former Department of Education employee, was also found guilty at that jury trial of Theft of Government Property, and was sentenced to serve 6 months in a halfway house on May 19, 2003. On that same day Maurice Hayes, a former Bell Atlantic Technician, was sentenced to serve 27 months in prison following a trial in February 2002, where he was found guilty of Conspiracy and Theft of Government Property.
During the trial, the government's evidence demonstrated that Elizabeth C. Mellen, the wife of Luther Mellen, was a Telecommunications Specialist in the Office of Chief Information Officer at the United States Department of Education (Department), who managed the Department of Education's contract with the former Bell Atlantic Federal Systems (Bell Atlantic) (now Verizon, Inc.). In that capacity, Elizabeth Mellen was responsible for the technical aspects of any project relating to the contract and served as the technical liaison between Bell Atlantic and the Contract Officer. Under the contract, materials necessary for the completion of the contract, such as wiring, telephones, and other equipment used for the installation of the telephone service, were ordered by Elizabeth Mellen through Robert Sweeney, a Bell Atlantic telephone technician who was assigned full-time to the Department and who previously pled guilty to Theft of Government Property and agreed to cooperate with the government. In turn, Bell Atlantic would order the necessary products through vendors who would deliver the products to Bell Atlantic's Washington, D.C., warehouse. Sweeney would pick up the items and deliver them to locations specified by Elizabeth Mellen. The Department was ultimately held responsible for the cost of the items.
In or before 1997, Elizabeth Mellen began asking Sweeney to order materials for her personal use and that were not related to the performance of the Department's contract. Initially these orders were sporadic and limited to telephones. The orders increased in amount and frequency in early 1997, when Elizabeth Mellen ordered a Gateway 2000 Destination computer for the house she and Luther Mellen shared. The next high-dollar item was a laptop computer that she ordered for her stepson at the request of Luther Mellen, in April 1997. Once these orders went through without any difficulty, Elizabeth Mellen began to order large quantities of electronic equipment which she kept for herself or gave to various family members or friends including her son, Philip Burroughs, from a previous marriage and her nephew, Jeffrey Morgan.
Other family members joined in by communicating their personal requests to Elizabeth Mellen. The value of her orders increased until she was ordering multiple high-dollar items at a time. In the summer of 1999, Elizabeth Mellen caused to be delivered to the home of her sister, Jeffrey Morgan's mother, a stolen Gateway Computer and multiple accessories which Morgan converted to his own use. She also gave several of her relatives, including Philip Burroughs, cellular telephones, paid for with Department funds and she ordered the use of Department funds to pay for the monthly costs associated with calls made on the telephones. In addition, on various occasions, Elizabeth Mellen provided the services of the Bell Atlantic technicians and another Department employee to install wiring or phone lines at the homes of various relatives at the Department's expense and to perform such menial tasks as washing the deck of Philip Burroughs' home, doing lawn work at his home and cleaning up yard debris. At Elizabeth Mellen's direction, the technicians in turn claimed false overtime.
This continued until December 9, 1999, when law enforcement agents executed search warrants and conducted consent searches at the home of Elizabeth Mellen and Luther Mellen and the homes of several of her relatives including defendants Philip Burroughs and Jeffrey Morgan. Subsequent investigation revealed that, overall, Elizabeth Mellen ordered for her personal use and for the use of defendants and other family members and close associates, more than $350,000 worth of goods paid for by the Department and generated over $934,000 in fraudulent labor and overtime claims. There were originally 18 co-conspirators charged in this scheme. Fourteen, including Elizabeth Mellen, pled guilty, seven of whom agreed to cooperate with the government and who testified at the trial.
In announcing the results of this prosecution, United States Attorney Howard, Acting Assistant Director Rolince, Inspector General John P. Higgins, Jr., and Inspector General Nikki L. Tinsley commended the following persons for the outstanding contributions to this case: Special Agent in Charge Gary Mathison, Special Agents Brian L. Hickey and John J. Hendrickson of the Department of Education Office of the Inspector General; Special Agent Thomas Chadwick of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Special Agent In Charge of Northeastern Investigations, Gary Fugger and Special Agent Mathew A. Walinski of the Environmental Protection Agency. They also praised the outstanding work of Assistant United States Attorneys Laura A. Ingersoll and Debra L. Long-Doyle who tried the case against Luther Mellen, Philip Burroughs and Jeffrey Morgan; and Assistant United States Attorney Gregory Marshall who tried the case against Maurice Hayes, along with former Assistant United States Attorney Barbara A. Grewe, who indicted the case.

What's it Like?
Photo by: Jessica Bohanon
"Campus life" is generally an American concept, with the exception of some British universities. Buildings are often in the heart of a city, and may be scattered over a considerable area, separated from each other by residences, restaurants, and shops. You may live in one part of the city, attend classes in another part, work in the library somewhere else, and eat your meals in a student restaurant. You will participate in everyday city life: mass transportation, pollution, strikes, impersonal attitudes, different gender issues, etc. Generally, expect less planned or "pre-packaged" student life, fewer clubs, fewer social affairs, and fewer organized sports than in the United States. An exception to the above rule would be universities in smaller cities, so this might affect your choice of where to study. On the other hand, study in a larger city will offer greater varieties of independent cultural and social activities.
Most study abroad programs do not have a full array of student service offices, but all have a program director or site administrator. This person variously serves the roles of academic adviser, residence hall director, counselor, and tour guide, and will be an invaluable resource throughout the course of your program.

This Morning: 3D Systems Plunges, Cognizant, ADP Slump, BlackBerry Assessed
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of 3-D printer maker 3D Systems (DDD) are down $19.36, or 25%, at $56.40, after the company this morning warned its revenue in the year just ended was in a range of $513 million to $514 million, meaning there's no upside to the consensus $514.2 million. The company cut its EPS view to 83 cents to 87 cents for the quarter, it said, below a prior view for 93 cents to $1.03, and below the 96-cent consensus.
For this year, the company expects revenue of $680 million to $720 million, and EPS of 73 cents to 85 cents, which is much better than the average $674 million on the top line, but also well below the EPS consensus of $1.27.
CEO Avi Reichental remarked that "during the fourth quarter we made very significant R&D, manufacturing and marketing investments designed to accelerate revenue growth that resulted in substantially compressed earnings for the fourth quarter; we are willing to tolerate earnings reduction and even slight gross profit margin compression during this period to substantially accelerate our growth rate and market share."
Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek this morning leaps to the stock's defense, reiterating a Buy rating, and a $102 price target, writing that "professional was strong but services and consumer weak, underscoring our belief that prototyping is the near-term growth area, but the consumer opportunity will be more difficult to realize."
Shares of IT services firm Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) are down $6.96, or 7.2%, at $90.05, after the company this morning reported Q4 revenue and earnings per share in line with consensus, at $2.36 billion, up 20.9%, and $1.15 per share. For the current quarter, the company also forecast in line, with $2.42 billion and $1.18. For the full year, the company projected revenue of "at least $10.3 billion" and EPS of "at least $5.02 per share," which is below the consensus for $10.39 billion and $5.08.
Chief executive Francisco D'Souza told me in a phone chat this morning that the full year's 20.4% revenue growth was above expectations for 17% entering last year.
He noted the company's business continues to find demand to help clients use the triumvirate of new technologies he refers "social, local, mobile." D'Souza confirmed that he has some worry about whether a potential government budget shutdown would ripple through the economy, though Cognizant does relatively little work with the Federal government directly.
D'Souza points out that the 16.5% minimum growth rate forecast this year, which is an organic rate of growth, excluding acquisitions, is higher than the 16% organic growth the company had projected for 2013 at the beginning of that year.
Shares of Automatic Data Processing (ADP) are down $2, or 2.7%, at $72.95, after the company this morning beat fiscal Q2 expectations, reporting revenue of $2.98 billion and EPS of 78 cents, topping consensus for $2.92 billio and 77 cent.s For the full year, the company sees revenue rising 7% to 8%, which is slightly better than the 7.4% growth the Street has been modeling, and better than ADP's own forecast previously of 7%.
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are down 9 cents, or 0.9%, at $9.52, despite a positive note from Jefferies's Misek, who this morning reiterated a Hold rating, and raised his price target to $9 from $6, after conducting an "in-depth-scenario analysis" of the company's six "key segments."
Misek concludes that "BBRY faces a difficult tightrope walk as it needs to balance quickly ramping its iOS/Android MDM business while drastically reducing costs."
He also sees all of the company's 44 million consumer subscribers going away by 2020.
Shares of Tableau Software (DATA) are up $12.57, or almost 16%, at $92, in a down market, adding to gains from last night after the company beat Q4 revenue and EPS expectations. Price targets are zooming this morning, though there have not been any ratings changes, that I can see.
Cantor Fitzgerald's Brian White reiterates a Buy rating, and raises his target to $104 from $88, after raising his revenue estimate for this year to $322 million from $302 million.
Writes White, "Tableau grew new customer accounts at a healthy clip in 4Q:13, showed a strong uptick in the number of transactions over $100K, and we believe it has reached an inflection point in international markets."

Even the JPP got pushed around last week, granted he was going against a ProBowl Tackle the majority of the time. I don't know if its just me but just by watching the games and not tracking stats it seems like our big name guys like Tuck, Umeniyora.... Have all been silent. Rocky Bernard had been a bright spot in my eyes till he got hurt. Just saying we need to put our opposing qb's on there backs more often

This is the talking analog watch that ranked highest in every category in evaluations by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Unlike lesser models that were inaudible or malfunctioned completely, this model announces the time distinctly in a male voice, ideal for those who find it difficult or inconvenient (such as when driving) to look at a watch. In addition to the time, the watch can announce the day and date, alarm, and sound a chime at the top of the hour. Contrary to other watches that were found to be overly complicated to operate, this watch offers straightforward instructions and functions that are easily accessed via two buttons. To ensure accuracy, the watch automatically synchronizes nightly with the atomic clock in Ft. Collins, CO, a timekeeping standard that won't vary by a second in 80 million years. The watch's face is set within a stainless steel case. Its 3/4"-wide black leather strap fits wrists up to 8 1/2". Face is 1 1/2" diameter x 5/8" depth. (6 1/2 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Best Talking Watch comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
Should you have any questions, we are available seven days a week (8:00 am – midnight EST). Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a specialist or email us at email@example.com to receive a response within three business hours or less.

Watch looks exactly as pictured
By Linda Who Shops
from Charlotte, NC
Bought this watch for father who has macular degeneration. He finds he can see the numbers clearer then any other watch he has. When he is in dimly lit places, the verbal time feature works well. He has only had the watch for a few weeks, so cannot testify about durability and continued accuracy. So far so good!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a spare purchase for an aunt with macular degeneration. This timepiece has positively enhanced her quality of life. Dependable day or night. Automatically sets itself during the seasonal time change!

Good quality
By Kk
from Kentucky
The talking button is impossible for my 96 year old mother to operate. The large face has enabled her to read the time even being sight impaired.Good quality but large and heavy. Arrived quickly.

Clear Speaking Watch
By phillifreeze
from Bronx,N.Y.
delivery was right on time as promised with no damage.Accuracy of speech is very clear; but, once the watch is in operation(running). Synchronizing analog with the Global signal is a failure.Instructions are very simple; but, just doesn't match the selection.The Talking Watch is a little bit over 66minutes faster than global selection even if set@3:00a.m.and left by window for best reception&in the right position.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. It is possible for obstacles to obstruct the signal. We suggest trying a different placement (i.e. different window) to see if signal comes in more clearly. The watch does not need to be set to 3 am - the signal transmits at 3 AM. Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee. Should you ever find that an item doesn't perform to your satisfaction, our customer service team is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-321-1484 to assist you with returning it.
The Best Talking Watch
By Susie
from Lincoln, IL
Purchased for my 97 year old mother-in-law who is hearing impaired and legally blind. She uses the watch to wake her up in the morning and to hear the time since she no longer has her vision. Now she knows when it is dinner time! She really likes it and is able to hear the voice when her surroundings are quiet.

As Good As Advertised
By Blind Faith Keith
from Buffalo, NY
I an extremely satisfied with this watch. The hands and numbers are easy to see because of the contrast. When I opened the box, the watch was ready to wear. The time and date was already set so I didn't have to spend time trying to figure out how to do it myself. The audible voice is clear and distinct. I am a very happy customer.
great product
By joanie
from Vashon Island, WA
My dad has macular degeneration and I bought him this watch (or one very like it from Hammacher) about 10 years ago. He absolutely loves it! The analog part finally quit working so we've just ordered him a new one. He can set the alarm, know what time it is and the numerals are big enough he can sometimes even see them. It is a fantastic product.

Great Product
By Buschie

My blind 89 year old Mother uses this watch every day! It is always set right, no problem with DST, etc. Easy for her to hit the button and know what time it is!An excellent product for someone how is sight impaired!

Exactly as advertised
By Jake

The watch face is an uncluttered black-on-white which is an asset to the visually limited. The verbal reports are easily understood. The watch is wonderful for the blind and near-blind.

The Jury is still out on this
By John
from Ripley County, Indiana
I bought this for an elderly man whose cheaper talking watch had failed. The first one I recieved would not accept the time signal, and did not work according to the intructions. HM replaced it, quickly and without question. The replecement worked fine, but the older operator says it does not always respond when he pushes the 'talk' button. That may be 'operator error' though.I disagree that it is louder than cheaper models, but it is a nice looking watch and seems more rugged than cheaper models. As of now, I am not sure it is worth the extra cost.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Enrollment is declining in many school districts around the country. The causes vary. A common scenario is when a major employer moves out of town or a national chain store decides to close a regional branch. Families move to other towns in search of job opportunities. Home prices fall. Downtown merchants no longer have the customer traffic necessary to survive. Soon, they too close up shop and move away, leaving behind more unemployment. These economic stressors ultimately lead to fewer students in the area districts.
Declining enrollment also occurs in areas where mining, logging, or fishing industries are major employers. As natural resources diminish or businesses close, families also may make the decision to leave the area in search of other employment. Similarly, declining enrollment may result from military bases closing. Legislative actions that limit economic expansion or place restrictions on land development also may affect enrollment.

"Man, I wish my legs weren't so smoked," my ski partner Arne Backstrom smiled as he articulated the thought blaring in my head. I might not have known it then, but this was about to be the run of my life; the day we finally got to leave our tracks on the Aiguille Verte's Couturier Couloir, and nothing – not even tired legs – would stop us.
It had been a long time coming. Until this day, the Couturier had never looked quite ready. Arne and I had skied up to the base multiple times and each time we retreated, feeling the conditions were not exactly right; too much ice, too much avalanche risk, wind-affected snow, the list went on. Then the Grands Montets ski area closed for the season and lift access to the Couturier was cut off.
We were disappointed. We took full advantage of the continuing spring snowfall and skied many classic lines in the Chamonix range, all accessed via the Aiguille du Midi lift. But nothing is so coveted as that which is just out of reach, and we could not shift the Couturier from our minds. The steep pitch of the northeast-facing couloir makes it so compelling; few lines offer such a long sustained slope plummeting directly from a summit, and we suspected the turns would be among the best the Alps have to offer – if conditions were just right. Arne and I plotted how to reach the Couturier without the lift and decided to give it one more shot.
The Pierre à Ric piste drops over 700 meters from the mid station of the Grands Montets and provides a casual run down to the village of Argentière after a day on the hill. But as we stood at the bottom looking up at the snowless Pierre à Ric, the gentle slope took on a completely different character.
Straining under the weight of our packs, and grateful that the Pierre à Ric was only a red piste, Arne and I slowly ascended to the Grands Montets mid station under a light rain. Here we stashed our shoes, donned ski boots and skinned another 600 meters to the Argentière Glacier where the temperature was just below freezing. Sleet began to fall more heavily, driving us toward the exposed glacier ice as our only bivy option.
Luckily, we found a large boulder with a mostly level top and declared it home for the night. Had there been anyone around, it would have been quite a scene: two guys standing on a solitary rock in the middle of a glacier, talking, singing, dancing, anything to outlast the precipitation. Near hypothermic and all danced out, we gave up on the weather, pitched the tent and crawled in for the night.
Waking up to clear skies, we left camp the next morning before sunrise to begin our final ascent to the Couturier. It was still too dark to assess if the conditions were right, so, fingers crossed, we made our hopeful pilgrimage once again. As the sun rose, the couloir became brighter until we could finally see the snow-plastered face. Arne and I grinned. We were just 800 meters of boot packing from the top.
With two pairs of smoked legs, we stood on the corniced summit of the Aiguille Verte peering 1500 meters below the tips of our skis to the tiny yellow speck that was our bivy the previous night. As we looked down the couloir other thoughts raced in my head: Is this really it? Am I finally going to ski this line? This is going to be sick! And it was. The skiing was everything we could have wished for. Stable, boot-deep powder on a smooth, steep, sustained face with just enough intricacies to keep it interesting, but not so much to disrupt our downward flow.
Watching Arne arc GS-style turns, racing in front of his slough, is still one of the most impressive feats I have ever witnessed – and it happened on the best day I've ever had in the mountains, on the run of my life. That's a combination I won't soon forget.

When bros meet together anywhere and have a sort of 'round table' as men have done throughout history, and discuss bro-like things, a broval has begun.

ASHRAE supports UTSA engineering students
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 20, 2008)--The Alamo Chapter of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recently donated $2,500 to support UTSA mechanical engineering students entering the 2008 National Student Design Competition.
Today's headlines

The competitors were asked to design a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system for a 60,000-square-foot recreation center in Nashville, Tenn. The center would include a gymnasium with basketball courts, an elevated running track, a wellness center with fitness equipment and aerobic rooms, a natatorium, racquetball courts, locker rooms and administrative offices.
ASHRAE sponsors the design competition to encourage undergraduate students to become involved in the heating, ventilating and air conditioning profession.
UTSA's team members included Adam Becker, Raham Kirkwood, Rey Gutierrez, Matthew Ploch, William Hosket, John Thompson and James Drewry III. Their faculty adviser is Randy Manteufel, UTSA associate professor of mechanical engineering.
Winners will be announced at the ASHRAE 2009 winter meeting in Chicago.

The police force has pledged not to let children suffer because of its failures.
The promise is supported by details released through the Official Information Act of changes made since damning criticism in 2010 of its failure to investigate abuse against children.
A subsequent investigation revealed a backlog of child abuse investigation files across the country.
Officers in some districts had gone as far as hiding the files in cabinets or with generic codes inside the filing system to disguise the fact they were not being worked on.
The change has been led by Detective Inspector Tusha Penny, who was instrumental in exposing the problems inside the force.
"We have got to work to make sure victims of neglect and child abuse never again become victims of bureaucracy," said Ms Penny, national manager of sexual violence and child protection.
Ms Penny - who worked for seven years as an investigator - blew the whistle in 2006 by showing current commissioner Peter Marshall an email from an over-burdened investigator with more than 100 active investigations.
At the time, she said investigators struggled to understand how child-abuse inquiries were "scraping" for resources while abuse that went too far received plenty of resources - when it became a murder investigation.
An inquiry into the problem revealed widespread issues across the country and was supported by a damning Independent Police Conduct Authority report, that demanded change.
Ms Penny was appointed to oversee the change after Mr Marshall told her: "We are never going to be this wrong again."
Ms Penny said: "It was heartbreaking. Not only had we let officers down but we had let victims and their families down."
The change to the way child abuse was investigated had been so successful it was now being used for sexual violence policing. The systems were being adopted by other government departments.
When the issue emerged, police did not know how many child-abuse investigations it was dealing with nationally. Now, the information is available at the touch of a button.
The Herald sought details of the changes made by police. Documents show it has fulfilled 30 of the 34 recommendations made by the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
Police also put in place systems to review changes and pick up issues before problems occurred.
About 230 detectives were dedicated to investigating child abuse, with a senior officer in each police district overseeing the work.
The officers work off a national "investigation plan" which helps set a high standard of investigation across the country. Constant review allowed Ms Penny's team to spot problems and make changes, releasing an updated plan in August.
While many of the changes required broad system changes, they also focused on details.
A specific designation for child abuse investigations - 6C - has been created, meaning complaints about abuse cannot be buried among other crime. The generic designation of LF9999 has also been dropped.
Issues had emerged around workload and capacity. Police have yet to meet a recommendation that binds officers to holding no more than 10 investigation files.
It is monitored nationally, and overloaded police will be supported by other districts.
"I hope that it gets to a point where every victim of abuse in this country has the confidence and trust to come to us and know that we will do our investigations and get them justice."

A derogotory term for mafia-wannabes of Italian decent. Referring to the invasion of southern Italy by the non-white muslim Moors in the late 1400's, it plays on the Moors' genetic influence on the conquested Italian population.

Lawyer: Former Griz player claims innocence in armed robbery case
MISSOULA, Mont. - The attorney for a former University of Montana football player denies his client's involvement in a violent armed robbery Tuesday at Jay's Mart in south Missoula.
26-year-old Timothy Parks, former cornerback for the 2007 Grizzlies football team, was arrested in connection to the robbery Wednesday night, along with another former player and 3 other suspects.
According to the Missoula County Jail Roster, Parks was being held for tampering with evidence. He was released early Thursday morning after posting a $10,000 bail.
Attorney Paul Ryan, who's representing Parks, released a statement following Parks' release:
"In no way was Timothy Parks at the scene of the robbery, nor did he participate in the attack. We do not believe prosecutors will file charges against Mr. Parks."
The Missoula County Attorney's office is expected to file charges against the other four suspects on Friday.

Hef's Movie Notes: Shadow of the Thin Man
Hugh Hefner introduces the fourth installment of "The Thin Man" series.
Tonight: William Powell and Myrna Loy in Shadow of the Thin Man.
The Thin Man was Dashiell Hammett's last novel. It was inspired by his romantic relationship with Lillian Hellman—the author of such literary landmarks as The Children's Hour and The Little Foxes.
Powell and Loy first starred together with Clark Gable in Manhattan Melodrama in 1934.
Director W.S. "One Shot Woody" Van Dyke saw something special in the on-screen relationship between Powell and Loy and paired them together again in their next film (as Nick and Nora Charles) in The Thin Man.
What was intended as a B-budget whodunit turned into a critical and commercial smash that made stars of both Powell and Loy. It also began a popular six-film series that lasted more than a dozen years until Song of the Thin Man in 1947.
Shadow of the Thin Man was the fourth film in the series. It was directed by Van Dyke, filmed in August 1941 and released on November 21, 1941, hitting theaters just two weeks before Pearl Harbor.
The film was eagerly welcomed, coming two years after the previous outing, Another Thin Man, released in 1939, and screened here last December.
It would be three years before Loy would make another film (The Thin Man Goes Home) in 1945, as she left Hollywood for New York City, where she volunteered for the Red Cross with the start of World War II.
Tonight's film includes cast members Donna Reed and Barry Nelson in his screen debut. It was also the feature film debut of Ava Gardner, who is briefly seen walking past Powell's car.
Variety reported: "Much of the farcical flavor that characterized the earlier Thin Man film is reclaimed in the new picture… In the course of which there are three homicides, half a dozen suspects and a bit of gunplay."
The film cost $821,000. It earned $3.15 million worldwide, for a net profit of $769,000 and a 91-percent return on investment.
Powell was 49 years old at the time, while Loy was 36 years old. He had just met, and married, the 21-year-old actress Diana Lewis, known as "Mousie." They met at Chasen's Restaurant. Later, when they went upstairs together, she was singing old songs. "I couldn't believe that a youngster like her knew the oldies," Powell said. "I went for her, and she was for me."
Days later, they eloped and lived happily ever after for another 40-plus years.
So now, from 1941, William Powell and Myrna Loy in Shadow of the Thin Man.

Exhibit of student works from Print Department Archive is on view at the Massachusetts State Transportation Building in celebration of The Art Institute of Boston's Centennial
Thursday, October 11, 2012
The works in 100 Prints Celebrating 100 Years have been selected from the vast archive of student prints made at AIB over the past 25 years, and are on view from October 1 through November 30, 2012 in the Massachusetts State Transportation Building, 10 Park Plaza, Boston.
Woodcut by Candice Coleman, '04
The exhibit is co-curated by Michael David, Chair of Fine Arts, and Liza Folman, Professor of Fine Arts at AIB.
"This collection serves as a key educational tool, allowing faculty to show students first-hand examples of printmaking techniques and printing options with a wide range of approaches to both concepts and imagery," said David. "These prints are invaluable for instructing and inspiring new students year after year, and the quality of these works sets the standards of excellence and professionalism expected by the faculty of the students."
"Strong drawing and design skills with a high level of technical confidence and flexibility are consistent attributes of the Fine Arts Department at AIB," said Folman. "Regardless of the approach or medium, the imagery in this exhibit reflects our faculty's emphasis on developing each student's individual artistic vision."
The Massachusetts State Transportation Building has a history of exhibiting local non-profit art organizations such as the annual Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards. It is a fitting location for this exhibit as AIB prepares to move to Porter Square in Cambridge and bid farewell to the city that has housed and inspired our students for the past 100 years.

Economic boost projected in Butte for state football playoff
BUTTE, Mont. - For the first time since 1991 the Butte High Bulldogs football team will compete for the state title.
The team hosts the fifth-seeded Bozeman Hawks Friday in the Mining City.
These Bulldog players are bringing a lot more to the town then potentially the state title.
City officials are projecting a large turnout for the game, and local stores, hotels and restaurants are preparing for the rush.
A few hotels are considering doubling up on staff; restaurants closer to the high school are doing the same with their inventories.
"We're expecting it to get busy and I'm hoping we're going to get smoked because we need the business, we need it, but we're just going to take it on head on," said Robert Bolstad, a cook.
Small business owners agreed this might just be a minor boost economically, but it's one much needed.
The game is scheduled for Friday at 7:00 p.m. at Naranche Stadium.

I was born and raised in Fenchurch St, Glen Innes. My whanau had come here as part of the Housing NZ culture. My mum has passed away and my dad moved back to Kaipara, so I now live in my old family home with my wife and four children.
My parents bought their house in the 80s, and now I see my son doing the same things in the same spots in the same sun as I did. It's a blessing for us, to continue in the line of our whanau.
I'm also the chairperson of the family centre here, I'm on the committee of Ruapotaka Marae, and on the working party Nga Iwi Katoa, which is a "wraparound" housing trust. And I'm a dad. Our eldest child is 16, the youngest is almost 3.
I've seen some major transformations here. Our company Mad Ave Productions, named for Madeleine Ave in GI, was begun in the 1990s. It's all about cultural and community arts development, story-telling and working with organisations to create community engagement.
The name Mad Ave speaks volumes to people who understand the east side.
We are the remnants of those who've gone before. Madeleine Avenue was an iconic part of our history and I'm a part of that urban experience.
There's a proverb that says, "Ko au te awa, Ko te awa ko au", which means "I am the river and the river is me". The Omaru River runs through the centre of GI from the Tamaki River and that proverb explains my connection to the area. When my great-grandmother moved here, back in the 50s or 60s, it was an abundant place.
The volcanic soils were great for growing, and snapper could be caught in the fishing grounds. There used to be mullet and flounder too. We grew up fishing with my dad, floundering in the shallow areas. We used to get oysters and pipi, and puha from the rivers.
The river is really polluted now - we swam in it when I was a kid, but there's no way you'd put a child in it now. There are some planting initiatives to regenerate the area, and because I'm a home boy, my role in all this it to engage the residents, to have them remember what the river is, for us all to become accountable.
We lived in and on the river, so these staged developments will become a lifestyle, igniting the people into action - businesses, council and residents.
There are still some good trails and pathways though, some good walks, from GI town centre through to Tamaki River, or along the Panmure riverside all the way through to Glendowie, all the way to St Heliers. For me, Tahuna Torea Nature Reserve is an example of what can be done. In the 70s or 80s, it was going to be a dump and then a marina, and the locals said no. They made a deal with the council and started regenerative native planting. It's a real treasure for us now.
The River Talks is about our connection with the river and came from our desire to reconnect the community to the river. We're bringing together artists and scientists, and there'll be talks, followed by discussions. We want to stimulate the imaginations of high school students, whether they want to be a scientist about it, or respond with art or music.
Much has changed here, but there are still some amazing old elements. The Marsic Brothers' fish and chip shop - they've been here a long time. The Asian grocers around here are all great, well-priced; we get our veges and fish and chips locally. Nicola Johns Pharmacy on Mayfair Place, she really cares about people. You can go in and say 'my baby's unwell' and explain the symptoms, and she'll tell you what to do. John Pearce Shoe Care on Apirana Ave, he actually fixes shoes. We've also got the best kebab shop of anywhere, Kebab 149, on Line Rd.
We have the privilege here of being involved with something that will be around for generations.

Owning Less – So It Won't Own You
Someone had made a comment on one of my previous blogs that talked about how most people wouldn't work jobs they disliked if they didn't own so much stuff.
I couldn't agree with them more.
As someone who leads a pretty minimalistic life, I wanted to share a few more in depth ideas on how to own less so it won't own you.
*Buy what you need, not what you want.
As someone who continues to build a 100% debt free life, I know this may not be easy for some people to hear. I have to admit I'm sometimes guilty of this too – because no doubt… I have a lot of stuff I want (versus what I need).
However, at some point we have to draw the line.
For instance, I remember back about 10 years ago when I was living off of credit cards and finally decided to do something about it. The sad thing was, I was still paying the credit cards bill – and most of the stuff I was paying for YEARS later… was already gone.
Sound familiar? It doesn't make sense to keep paying for things you don't even have anymore. Does it?
So why do it?
*Travel more.
Because of the continuous problems with taking excess baggage on the airlines it almost forces you to own less… Plus, it's just annoying to carry all of that baggage around knowing you may not need everything you brought along.
Because of this, I don't know anyone that travels with more than a bag or two. This pretty much forces you to own less.
*Start questioning your purchases.
How? Again, by using cash when you purchase anything (which I know is still foreign to some people). Yet when you do this, you start to see all the other things you could buy for $200 or $300 instead of a pair of jeans. Then, it starts to become really hard to throw a few hundred bucks on the table.
After going to the register, one would hope you would have a bag full of stuff for a few hundred bucks. Right? But when you look down into your bag, seeing one pair of jeans gets you to start questioning your purchase – "What did I just do? I could of used that money for so many other things that I needed (versus what I wanted)?"
That is when reality sets in – and helps you to understand the value of money a bit better. It's hard to understand the insanity of what we sometimes pay for things, until we start to consistently pay cash for it.
*Move on.
In a few weeks I'm moving out of California and most likely relocating to Seattle, WA (after visiting some family in Florida). For me, I'm just excited to move on from here.
However, the thing I'm most excited about is that I'll get rid of a ton of stuff I don't need at our garage sale. Why? Moving forces you to look through boxes you don't need and lose what you don't use.
Although, I must confess… I don't have much to sell (besides the furniture that isn't worth moving)… its great to know that most of the things I own, will never own me. You?
