What is it?
Google's answer to the iPad, only sleeker, thinner and a bit less expensive. The second generation of Google and Asus's 7in tablet – the first sold a reported one million units a month and led Apple to create the iPad mini – is perhaps the final proof that Android is a serious player in the tablet market.
What's so good about it?
Well, first off it's light (290g) and it fits in your palm, which makes it feel more user-friendly, to my mind; the matt-black polycarbonate back is nice to handle, too, though it perhaps lacks the design cachet of iPad's metallic spine. Its other major plus point is its 1920x1200 display, which, frankly, is absolutely cracking. It offers rich, razor-sharp colours and runs Netflix in HD.
Usefully, it has a wide panorama of viewing angles, so you can watch House of Cards slumped in just about any position you fancy.
That stuff's all fine, but how does it run?
Smoothly is the answer; very smoothly indeed. The earlier Nexus's NVidia chip has been replaced with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, which, roughly translated from tech-speak, means its designers have made it as smooth as unction, with quick app-opening, excellent video playback and no lag when you play games on it.
The new, improved battery also means it carries on being smoother for much longer, with an hour of Netflix draining it by just 10 per cent. And for much lighter use, it is likely to last nearly a whole weekend.
Sounds like love. Any drawbacks?
There are a couple. It comes in only two models, 16GB and 32GB, which sound fine, but they quickly fill up. And inexplicably, it isn't supplied with a microSD card slot (an oversight also found on the earlier model), so you can't expand on the internal storage.
The 5MP rear-facing camera leaves a fair bit to be desired, too. It should be a major feature but, in practice, unless the light conditions are ideal, it disappoints. Too much light and the screen flickers, so you aren't sure how the picture will turn out. Too little and it just doesn't turn out at all.
Is it worth it?
There's no two ways about it, the Google Nexus 7 is the best 7in tablet on the market. It wipes the floor with the competition. Its slick performance and HD screen are what you might expect in the upper price bracket for tablets, not something that starts at £199.
Should you upgrade though, if you have the older Nexus 7?
Probably not. The improvements, though useful, are not exactly profound (camera on the back, better battery, etc). Still, if you are a tablet virgin, you could do a lot worse than buy a Google Nexus 7.Reuse content

Spacious and Luxurious Val d'Isere Chalet for Sale
Among the Val d'Isere chalets, this is one of the absolutely best located chalets in the entire alpine village. It is located only 50m from the village's main restaurants, bars and shops and just 100m from the 'Solaises' ski lifts and front de neige.
Despite its central location, it still enjoys a quiet and private setting, nestled away within a small private hamlet. And as it sits slightly higher than other buildings in the surrounding area, the property boasts stunning views over the village, including the best possible view of Val d'Isere's famous church.
The spacious Val d'Isere chalet for sale features more than 490m² of interior space over four floors and with generous south-facing outdoor space overlooking the dramatic Alpine landscape.
The architecture of the chalet follows the traditional style of the village while the inside of the property is a blank canvas, enabling you to completely tailor the layout and interior specification (images of the interior show examples of the architect's work and are for illustration only).
The original chalet was built 50 years ago, when only a handful 'outsiders' were familiar with the village of Val d'Isere, a couple who had been skiing there since 1937 decided to build a chalet to accommodate their 8 children. Among the many alternative locations available at the time, the couple chose a sunny plot of land in the centre of the old village and its church, with a backdrop the mountains of Solaise, Charvet and Bellevarde.
Val d'Isere
The renowned French ski resort has been popular with skiers and snow lovers for at more than 30 years. The village is justifiably ranked among the very best ski resorts in the world with tree-lined slopes and technical passes and at 1,850 metres of altitude it offers a long season.
Val d'Isere is directly linked with neighbouring Tignes and is also part of the Espace Killy ski domaine, offering some of the best skiing in the world with altitudes ranging from 1550m to 3450m.
In addition to skiing, Val d'Isere is a true year round resort and offers a wide range of mountain sports and après-ski activities during both the summer and the winter seasons. Glacier skiing in the summer is also available thanks to the glaciers of the Grande Motte and Pissaillas, naturally crossing from Val d'Isere to Val Claret.
Easily accessible from Lyon, Chambery and Geneva, the Espace Killy is a great destination for both those looking for an easy weekend getaway and equally those with more time on their hands.
The old village reflects the Savoyard traditions and architecture, and has preserved all its charm so if you are looking for a spacious chalet in a superb location in one of the world's best ski domains, this may be your best option.

- - Stoves - pressurized alcohol or propane, which is better? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/49564-stoves-pressurized-alcohol-propane-better.html)
Stoves - pressurized alcohol or propane, which is better?
I'm looking at buying an early 1980's catalina 30. I found two, one has a pressurized alcohol stove, one has propane. Which is a better fuel for the stove/oven? Which is safer? Cheaper to refill? Better heat output? Easier to use?
I wouldn't be cooking too often... maybe a small meal every other weekend, maybe using the oven once or twice a summer.
Propane, properly installed is more efficient and safer. It is also cheaper to fuel, has better heat output and is far easier to use.
Alcohol has a much lower heating value as a fuel and pressurized alcohol stoves are often a serious fire danger, as reported by Boat US in their book Seaworthy.
Propane is WAY better.
My boat has a pressurized alcohol stove. I was not thrilled about it when I bought the boat because they have a bad rap. The previous owners had converted from Propane to Alcohol. I've heard that with Alcohol, you can't see the flame. This is only true if the flames are in bright sunlight. If the flames from your stove are in direct sunlight, I think the battle is probably lost already! Besides, the flames from the burning fiberglass should be highly visible by then:D I can get fuel at any hardware store. It may be a little slower to heat than Propane, but I am very happy with the Alcohol stove and oven. I don't think it should be a deal breaker, there are bigger issues when buying a boat. I would certainly try it for a while before replacing it. I think Alcohol is fine.
Don't know where you learned chemistry, but alcohol vapors are generally denser than air.
Also, water in insufficient quantity can spread alcohol fires instead of putting them out... which is one reason alcohol stoves caused some many boat fires... the person would pour water on the fire and the burning alcohol would get washed down into areas of the boat where it wasn't readily visible. By the time they realized their mistake, it was usually way too late. Water is NOT A RECOMMENDED EXTINGUISHING MEDIA FOR ALCOHOL FIRES.
Might want to learn a bit more about alcohol and alcohol fires before opening your mouth. Read the MSDS for denatured alcohol.
Let me quote the relevant section for you:
Weirder things have been done... :)
I installed a propane stove in my boat. This thing burns HOT. I have to be really careful not to burn whatever I'm cooking. Way, way hotter than my gas stove at home.
On the flip side, my friend's alcohol stove takes 20 minutes to boil a small pan of water.
Is there anyway we could make a sticky with proper storage of propane on a boat? At this point, I'm thinking the only safe place for me would be strapping them into the bottom of the cockpit. My boat is not set up for "fuel tanks" and there's no way I'm glassing one in and putting another hole for a vent. I'm assuming that the safest way is to obviously cook outside, store the stove inside with the tank/bottle closed off and in the cockpit? Is there a better way? I'm very paranoid about blowing up my boat.
Never store propane inside your cockpit. Propane is heavier than air and WILL seep into the cabin. Mounting the tank on the aft rail would be much better EXCEPT that the tanks really don't like seawater and will corrode to junk unless you have one of the fancy new glass wrapped composite tanks.
If your search these threads you'll find a lot of discussion on this issue - including pics of some installations on boats that have no "proper" propane locker...
Having lived with a pressurized alcohol stove for 12 years for all the "right" reasons, our latest boat has propane and honestly we'd never go back.

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z's not yet confirmed marriage has prompted speculation that she maybe pregnant with the hip hop mogul's child.
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z's not-yet-confirmed marriage fuels more rumors as new speculation has just surfaced that the songbird maybe pregnant with the hip hop star's baby. The NY Daily News has become the first to speculate Beyonce is sperminated with Jay-Z's love child.
Multiple sources and news media have claimed Beyonce and Jay-Z already tied the knot Friday, April 4 at the hip hop mogul's New York apartment. While neither of them confirming or denying the wedding reports, fellow music star Mary J. Blige disclosed the not-yet-confirmed nuptials during the Greensboro, North Carolina stop of her "Heart of the City Tour" on Saturday night, April 5.
Blige publicly sent her congratulation to the pair, shouting to the sold-out audience, "Congratulations to my man, Jay-Z, and my girl B."
Beyonce and Jay-Z's representatives have declined to comment on the pregnancy reports though.
Beyonce herself once revealed her willingness to have a big family, saying "I want to get married, and I really want a family. In a perfect world I'd have two boys and a girl."
Being inundated with various reports, concerning both the wedding and pregnancy, couldn't stop Beyonce from doing her daily routines. She has on Tuesday afternoon, April 8 been spotted leaving the Bloomberg building New York City. The singer was seen "in especially good spirits, smiling and waving to fans and photographers," JustJared has claimed. That was her first public appearance since her much covered supposed wedding to Jay-Z.

UN envoy in Syria meeting Assad
The international envoy tasked with pushing to end Syria's civil war has said the situation is still "worrying" after discussing the crisis with president Bashar Assad.
The remarks gave no indication of progress towards a negotiated solution to the conflict.
In brief comments to reporters after meeting the Syrian leader at the presidential palace in Damascus, Lakhdar Brahimi said he and Mr Assad exchanged views on the conflict and discussed possible steps forward, which he did not disclose.
"The situation in Syria is still worrying and we hope that all the parties will go towards the solution that the Syrian people are hoping for and look forward to," Mr Brahimi said.
Syria's state news agency quoted Mr Assad as saying his government supports "any effort in the interest of the Syrian people which preserves the homeland's sovereignty and independence".
The two met after a government airstrike in a rebel-held town in central Syria killed more than 60 people on Sunday, according to activists.
Mr Brahimi has apparently made little progress towards brokering an end to the conflict since starting his job in September, mostly because both sides adamantly refuse to talk to each other.
The government describes the rebels as foreign-backed terrorists set on destroying the country. The opposition says that forces under Mr Assad's command have killed too many people for him to be part of any solution.
Mr Brahimi's two-day visit was to end later on Monday. It is his third to Damascus as an envoy of the United Nations and the Arab League.
The security situation in Damascus and elsewhere in the country has declined since Mr Brahimi's previous visits. Instead of flying in to the Damascus International Airport as he did on earlier visits, Mr Brahimi drove to Damascus over land from Beirut because of the fighting near the Syrian capital's airport.
Reports by anti-regime activists of the airstrike on Sunday on a bakery in the central town of Halfaya that killed scores of people also cast a pall over Mr Brahimi's visit.
Amateur videos posted online showed the bodies of many dead and wounded scattered in a street.
On Monday, Syria's state news service blamed the attack on "an armed terrorist group" - its shorthand for the rebels - accusing them of filming the aftermath to "frame the Syrian army".
In the videos, however, armed rebels are clearly among those tending to the dead and wounded.
Anti-regime activists say the civil war has killed more than 40,000 people since March 2011.

So… I can barely believe it, but Sam Fuller's wife, Christa, read this story. And liked it. And shared it with their daughter, Samantha, Lee Marvin's wife, and the other cast members of the movie. Though I'm still waiting for Mark Hamill to write me. (And then I'll die.)
Sam Fuller is such an interesting character. At that New York Film Festival where the cast discussed the making of The Big Red One, each guy had their Sam vocal impression. Strong. Gravelly. Classic. Kind of like Burgess Meredith's character Mickey from Rocky. He's considered to be one of the godfathers of indie filmmaking because he preferred the more personal stories you could create on the "B picture" side of things, rather than be controlled by the studio heads for the "A pictures". Take a look at Steel Helmet, Shock Corridor, Naked Kiss, even White Dog, and you'll get something that looks and feels different from what you usually see, yet the emotions seem much more authentic. A unique filmmaker.
The funny thing is that I didn't first know Sam's name from loving Big Red One. It's odd how that happens, right? You know movies and comics, but there's a certain point in life where you cross that line of not only knowing the art, but the artists that create it. I remember when I finally realized that it was John Byrne who drew all those Fantastic Four comics I loved (and stole!) from the newsstand as a kid. But that's another story.
Anyway, I "discovered" Sam through a smaller film called "Tigrero" that I saw at NYC's Film Forum about how Sam and Jim Jarmusch went to the Amazon to re-visit a place Sam once shot footage for a proposed movie. He never went back to complete that film, but he brought the footage back to the Amazon decades later with Jim to screen it for the locals. Fascinating idea and a good doc. Jarmusch is like the opposite of Sam on the outside (but I do love that guy's films). Tall. Soft spoken. Dry. It was yin and yang on that trip, and it made for an interesting doc. Here's a bonus Jim story.
And speaking of interesting docs, Sam's daughter Samantha is currently raising money for a Centennial Documentary on her father here. Please donate!

This is the first time I've read any kind pending legislation where I don't know where to start to critique. Really!
According to this legislation you can do any one of a number of things to get yourself in hot water if you are active duty military. And the "as determined by the Attorney General." does make me very nervous. Since when is the AG the authority to decide who does & doesn't meet the criteria to serve in the military? This legislation can be interpreted in too many ways to get anyone in trouble based upon a great many activities. If you blog on a blog site, attend a TEA party, etc. Just when you think the government can't be more intrusive in your life this type legislation rears it's ugly head! Can it get much worse??? I hope not! I'm going to read this more fully and see where this may go for anyone who is within the scope of authority this bill will assume.
This is scary stuff!!! All the time while reading it I kept saying, "Oh my Gosh, Oh my gosh, etc." Amazing!

1982 XJ650L Seca Turbo
I have acquired a Seca Turbo, been in a barn for ten plus years, prior owner filled crankcase to top with oil when parked. I cleaned carbs and drained oil, have turbo boost pipe loose to intake at moment, Started and blew oil out of turbo, now cleared out. Issues is such a weak spark on plugs you can hardly see it, have to use carb cleaner in intake to get fired off to run. All wire plugs have been cleaned and coated with dielectric grease.
How do I determine if it is the cdi ignitor box or coil issues. All cylinders have weak fire. Leans to cdi box, unless other has part in problem.
Been investigating this bike, The turbo does not spool up much. Found a actuator on it and it controls a butterfly valve in the turbo's exhaust. it is stuck. Wont move. All bolts are so rusted the removal to work on seems impossible.
if the spark is weak it might be your battery. i can't help with all the other stuff, but maybe if you up some pics...

My current client wants to restrict the export options for reports to those that work best with the reports that they are delivering. When looking into this request I found the following article by Roman Rehak that covers exactly how to accomplish this.
Also discovered SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services has scrolling headers. Simply open the properties of the table you want the scrolling headers on and select the option "Header should remain visible while scrolling." Presto-chango and it works.
Geez, it's been a while since I've blogged here. I gotta get back on the horse.

Karstens' great start finishes sweep of Astros
Karstens' great start finishes sweep of Astros
PITTSBURGH -- The Bucs' bats have been hoarding headlines lately, but Jeff Karstens reminded everyone on Thursday that the pitching staff is still pretty good, too. The right-hander tossed eight shutout innings at PNC Park, while striking out eight in the process. Thanks to Karstens, the Pirates beat the Astros, 2-0, and completed the four-game sweep of Houston in front of 21,386 fans. "It was just location, command, changing speeds, staying out of the middle of the plate, and keeping the hitters just off-balance enough where they weren't able to square him up," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said about his starter. "You come back, shaking your head. You can't wait to hit until the next time, and at the end of the night, you don't have much to show for it. Very efficient outing."
Karstens allowed only four hits to the Astros, who at no point in the game had more than one runner on base. In fact, Houston had just three runners reach second base all evening. "It was working pretty well. We were able to throw strikes when we had to, bounce the ball when we had to," Karstens said. "We were able to do some good things. Fortunately for me, they were able to go after some of those pitches I was throwing." For the second start in a row, Karstens held the opposition scoreless in the first inning. In his other four starts this season, Karstens has surrendered one, three, two and four runs in the first frames. The outing marked just the second time this year that Karstens has pitched at PNC Park, with the other one coming on the second day of the season. Karstens missed about two months with shoulder and hip flexor issues. "He was like a machine out there, getting strike one right away," right fielder Garrett Jones said. "Nobody was really squaring the ball up. He pitched a heck of a game." On Thursday, Karstens' counterpart, Astros pitcher Bud Norris, allowed two runs in seven innings. Norris gave up just five hits, while striking out six and walking three. "I think they had five hits, four of them for extra bases, and we had the four singles," Astros manager Brad Mills said. "He battled through it with runners in scoring position and that was sure nice to see." The Pirates didn't wait very long to jump on top. Leading off the second inning, Jones pulled a ball that slammed into the right-field wall for a double. He scored when the next batter, Casey McGehee, followed up with another double, this one a bloop shot that landed near the right-field foul line. The home team scored in the third inning, too, and again Jones was a part of it. With one out and the bases loaded, he stepped in and sent one deep to left-center, trying the opposite field after losing a homer to the tall wall in right. The ball died in the glove of J.D. Martinez before it could land in the seats, but it did go far enough to score Karstens, who had reached third after singling to lead off the inning. "I had no idea where the ball went," Karstens said about his offensive contribution. "I just kind of hit it, and the fans started cheering, so I figured I'd better run. It's been a long time since I've gotten a hit, and I didn't even use my own bat. I used one of [Jose] Tabata's bats." The Pirates outscored Houston 27-13 in the four-game set, and Jones had a hit in each one. The right fielder batted .563 (9-for-16) for the series, scoring eight runs and driving in seven more. He also hit two home runs and three doubles. "I've been feeling a lot more comfortable at the plate," Jones said. "I was getting some balls to hit and just wasn't missing them, and getting the good part of the bat on them." Joel Hanrahan closed out the game for his second save in as many days. But for the third straight day, the reliever gave the PNC Park cause for concern. Two walks and a wild pitch in a two-run game will do that. "You never want to put the leadoff guy on base," said Hanrahan, who benefited from a 4-6-3 double play. "I messed that one up, and was all over the zone, a little amped up, I guess." Before dismantling the Astros, the Pirates' most recent four-game sweep came in 2006 against Milwaukee at PNC Park. In seven games against Houston this season, the Bucs are 6-1.

Although I am new to the form and this is my first posting.I have been reading the answers to various problems over the years which have helped me in repairs I have carried out.
I have owned three BMWs ,520d and two x5s. My present vehicle is an x5 e53 2004 plate with 80,000 miles.
I have a question which I hope someone out there can help me with.
Many owners have complained about the harsh ride on the x5 with which I agree with, has anyone converted the suspension (AIR) to the softer SE spec, if so what does it involve?
Also, do you have to release the air pressure on the rear suspension to check the numerous bushes and ball joints.
I would appreciate any advice.
Welcome laddie,
Are you all ready for Hogmanay?
For around £200 you can convert the air suspension to coil springs. There is a set on ebay which comes as a full kit, this will give a smoother ride.
The big rear chassis bushes bolts when released after jacking up from the diff give you a loose rear subframe without pressure off the air suspension. At that point you can see what bushes have failed etc..
I am too thinking about the coil spring conversion...
x5 suspension
Hi Graham,
Thanks for your advice I will investigate the conversion solution, I love the car but the harsh ride is very annoying.
The other problem was not the sub frame bushes but the rear suspension bushes on the rear axle. On Utube there are two videos which suggest that the bushes can not be checked unless the air is released from the air springs. I just wondered if this was fact or fiction.
Thanks again for your advice
Yes this is true, you have to jack up, disconnect battery or suspension fuse, release air from the blue lines at the pump in the boot. They do feel very sold when under pressure of the air bags but when the air is released you can feel any play in them..
Hope this helps.

Do you show children how to breathe? I do. I am a swimming teacher. I help children with their counting, their vocabulary and their science every lesson I teach in addition to developing agility, balance and co-ordination skills.
Sometimes I have to organise them, but I also devise games and fun ways to move through the water. I know if children are tired, or frightened, as well as laughing along with those who suddenly find that they CAN do…
I have been teaching for long enough now to be expecting to meet the next generation children of my previous non-swimmers.
I teach afternoon/evening out-of-school lessons. I have coached club swimmers who train daily, early mornings and/or evenings, alongside their schooling, and I also teach during the day when school classes have lessons.
Swimming is a part of the national curriculum requirement, yet we are completely hidden from all primary school documentation. I once asked to contribute to school reports and was told to contact each individual class teacher and ask if my opinion was needed! That particular school was some five miles away from the leisure centre pool; I had never even driven past, let alone visited it!
We have been taught, during our teacher training, to produce lesson plans and termly schedules most of us keep them in our heads but we could provide documentation if asked. Some leisure centres ask us to file a copy with them. Ofsted don't seem to need them.
Sometimes I work alongside lifeguards on poolside; Other times, I am the only first aid and water-safety-trained person.
Swimming teachers don't have school term-time inset training, we pay for our own child protection instruction, lifesaving, CPD, first aid qualifications - and renewals every couple of years. Our liability insurance is covered by our paid membership of one of two governing bodies the Swimming Teachers Association or Institute of Swimming.
We have to beg the school office staff for a copy of class registers each term. We are never told, however, about school absentees. We also discover for ourselves which children have written-statemented behavioural issues - fairly quickly!
Most paid dedicated one-to-one specialist helpers do not regard getting wet as part of their remit! Schools often deliver children to the pool by asking for parent helpers (PTFAs). This disconnect means that we don't even know if children wear glasses, for example.
It is the children who tell us about "naughty" procedures. If we have a disciplinary issue with rude words, or violent behaviour, we can try to telephone the school, but there is usually no follow-up.
Even if the pool is located within school grounds, rather at a leisure centre, and we are employed (part time, term time only) by the county council, we are lucky if we are warned about fire drills or class trips to other events that clash with timetabled swimming. Our classroom is located remotely from the rest of the school buildings - in fact, and mentally too.
On days when I taught from nine till three at a local primary school pool, I asked if I could use the staff room across my dinner half-hour (an hour, less changing out of wet clothing, mopping the pool side and then returning in time to unlock for afternoon classes). Luckily, some of the teaching assistants recognised me and so slowly I was introduced to the class teachers. The teachers seemed amazed that I should want to ask them about individuals, about their classroom topics and about persistent absentees.
I do not think we are alone in this parallel teaching situation. I am sure peripatetic music specialists recognise our feeling of involvement with the pupils, our pride at their achievements, yet our complete invisibility to school ethos.
The school may well have policy documentation, contracts with parents and regular newsletter type contact with the whole school but I can guarantee that any school news about swimming has come from essays written by pupils, or leisure centre websites.
It wouldn't take much for headteachers to regard us as an integrated member of their support team. They could start by inviting us to attend assemblies where children are awarded their swimming certificates!
In the meantime we will work with our governing bodies who require us to become ever more professional soon we will have to hold an expensive compulsory licence to practice, renewable every three years.
Swimming teachers have a lot to offer school pupils. We provide a progressive opportunity for children to succeed, as well as a true life-saving skill for life. An education, in fact!

Pigeon Forge, Tenn. car shows ...
Just wondering about the Car Shows in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. I've been to some there years ago but don't remember which one or what time of year it was. They have one in April and one in Sept. but it's been so long ago I was at one wondering if it is still a nice show or is it weak and lame. Wondering which one of the 2 are the best to go to now a days. Thanks for your input. firstname.lastname@example.com
It actually depends on your taste in automobiles :D
The two most popular are in September. The Shades of the Past is the oldest.
It was originally a pre 49 vechicle event BUT now allows up to 1972 vechicles :rolleyes: It is the event I always go to.
The other event is the Grand Run. Fashsioned after the Shades of the Past but has no year restrictions that I am aware of.
The SHADES OF THE PAST event has way more resistered vehicles than the The Grand Run ... but the town is full of cars both weekends. The Shades event ... has more of the 30's, 40's amd 50' where the Grand Run is more Camaro, Mustang and Chevelle type vehicles.
I have been to both in the same year ( they are 1 week apart ). But for the past 4 or 5 years ... I just go the the Shades.
Disclaimer :
I have been to all 30 of the Shades events ... because I have 32 Fords. SO ... I may be biased.
Deuce, thanks for your help. After looking at the PF show web site. And after learning more about the shows from you. I believe I went to the show in April which must have been the Rod Run. Sounds like maybe now they have a Rod Run in April and in Sept.

Progressives need to understand the real root cause behind the war against the 99%. My newest book makes it manifestly apparent that the return of Social Darwinism the has metastasized into Financial Darwinism is the controlling issue underneath all the ice berg tips.
"How We Got Swindled by Wall Street Godfathers, Greed & Financial Darwinism ~ The 30-Year War Against the American Dream," with a foreword from David Satterfield, the former business editor of the Miami Herald and 2 times Pulitzer Prize- — is the only book about how born again Social Darwinism has caused the deregulation of greed and the devaluation of ethics. Satterfield said in the foreword – "Financial Darwinism means, survival of the richest."
Successful movement in the past have had a common cause and unifying issue – the cause is to elimanate the chasm of income inequality and the geometric risk of continuing Wall St unbridled, rapacious unfettered greed and the unifying issue is to identify and acknowledge the root cause to fight back effectively.
I have a blog on Huffington – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/henry-schoenberger; Cape Cod Today; and am a continuing guest on some prominent radio in LA and Manhattan. Incidently – Dave Satterfield edits my blog pieces. I would love to blog on your site and
I had a little more to add, and thought it was only going to "Albert" although it is fine to post it for the public.
I would like to add to your voice and would appreciate hearing from you. My contact and bio info is on Huffingting and on my book site. The book is in print and available at B&N and Amazon in stock. http://www.howwegotswindled.com
I would like to hear from you and anyone with Occupy – as Satterfield believes How We Got Swindled should be the manifesto for OWS.

The most common myth about growing flowers is that you need to use herbicides or pesticides to get the best blooms.
But Tara Kolla, a former public relations executive turned backyard farmer, has learned how to produce beautiful bouquets organically on her half-acre of land in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles.
Seven years of trial and error have taught Kolla which sun-loving plants, like these ranunculus, are the easiest and most trouble-free to grow organically.

We Review the Facebook Roadshow Movie
At last, the motion picture epic about superheroes combining their amazing powers to save the world came out this month. I refer, of course, to the Facebook Roadshow Movie. Unlike The Avengers, Facebook's half-hour video pitch to potential investors hasn't gotten great reviews. Is it so bad? This reviewer watched all 30 minutes and 59 seconds so you don't have to.
Facebook Roadshow begins with a Star Wars-style text crawl to set the context. Only this movie lacks a triumphal John Williams fanfare, and rather than something like "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…" it begins with "This presentation contains forward-looking statements." The Star Wars theme would have been cool, though—or maybe the Darth Vader Imperial March, if you're squeamish about online privacy.
The plot unfolds in five acts. Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman opens Act I ("Our Mission") in an office lounge setting. Not a great start, production-value-wise. This movie seems more airline preflight safety video than The Social Network II directed by David Fincher.
And then the founder himself appears. Mark Zuckerberg is wearing his usual attire—gray T-shirt, jeans. He's sitting in a plain conference room with gray carpet and a gray sofa. It could be any office in Corporate America, which is the point: No brogramming tomfoolery here, folks. Practitioners of unimpeachable management are we.
The filmmakers go for an Errol Morris camera style: close-ups with extemporaneous (or extemporaneous-ish) talking by the subjects. This is Zuckerberg in an ideal laboratory setting, where there's no chance he'll go off on a tangent or sweat profusely and reveal some secret patch sewn into a hoodie. As planetarium music undulates on the soundtrack, he talks about his inspiration for Facebook and creating a world where discovering stuff online doesn't just mean search engines. He seems to be looking off to the side slightly, as if he's reading a prompter, which damages the Errol Morris vibe. And yet Zuckerberg comes across as authentic, even sympathetic. You'll root for him. By golly, this young man just might pull it off! SPOILER ALERT: He pulls it off.
The next character introduced is Chris Cox, Facebook's vice president for product. He's good. "Your life is an interesting story that a lot of people would be interested in," he says. "Especially the global advertising-marketing complex," Cox does not add. He and Zuckerberg go back and forth about the appeal of sharing photographs with friends and families. Pictures of babies, proud parents, and babies with proud parents swoop around on screen.
About seven minutes in, Zuck and Cox get into Act III: "Platforms." "What we mean by platform is fabric that makes any product social," says Zuckerberg. Such as what products? Cut to friendly cow-pattern graphics and Ben & Jerry's executives, one of whom talks in a vaguely foreign accent about having a "holistic relationship with our community." Ice cream. Social. Ice cream social! I'll have a Cherry Garcia cone and some Facebook shares, please.
Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg doesn't appear until around halfway through Facebook Roadshow. As students of narrative will recognize, this is the "compelling value proposition" part of the story arc. Sandberg describes the power of friend recommendations as a driver of sales. Facebook, she says, is "word of mouth at scale." Children and others unfamiliar with the PowerPoint dialect may hear that and think, "Germs!" Some viewers, such as T. Rowe Price fund managers, may leap out of their Aeron chairs and cheer.
Ebersman, the CFO, returns for Act IV: "Finance." This part, which to connoisseurs of Silicon Valley corporate speak will seem nothing short of a masterpiece, is meant for financially mature audiences. As for everyone else, a suggestion: Treat this stretch as a workplace coffee-drinking game. "Payments infrastructure." Drink! "Competitive advantage." Drink! "Mobile monetization." Chug it!
The ending is flat and a little puzzling. The CFO thanks viewers for the opportunity "to introduce Facebook." This after the film notes that Facebook is closing in on a billion users. It's like an instructional video on what to expect at McDonald's. Seriously, is there anyone, particularly an institutional investor, who hasn't made up her mind about this company and whether to buy the stock? Aha! Whiff of drama: There are skeptics on Wall Street and in the media who don't think Facebook has proven itself as a can't-miss way to hawk products. How does one know if one's luxury car ad on Facebook leads to more sales? Imagine what Fincher could have done with this material.
The screen fades to black as the counter ticks down to 30:59 and … bonus footage! On comes an executive from liquor maker Diageo, who talks about the awesome power of Facebook ads to get people to buy more product. Skeptics answered, plot resolved. The end.

'Britannic has always said it needs scale, and in the current equity market it will seek scale by strategic moves as well as by organic development,' said chairman Harold Cottam, who has been holding the fort since January when Danny O'Neil quit after only six weeks as chief executive.
Britannic reported pre-tax operating profit down more than £29m at £145m. This was after £101.6m of exceptional costs in launching the Britannic Money internet operation, which Cottam said will break even in 2003, but will not put on much volume this year.
He spoke of 'turbulent investment conditions' and an industry outlook made uncertain by market performance and regulatory reviews. The final dividend is held at 36.7p, making a total for the year of 55.2p.
Britannic cut 2,000 jobs last year when it withdrew its door-to-door sales force and set about becoming a niche financial services player.

Electric Head Shavers Review
How to Choose an Electric Head Shaver
The top performers in our review are the Skull Shaver Bald Eagle Smart, the Gold Award winner; the Philips Norelco Do-It-Yourself Clipper, the Silver Award winner; and the Panasonic ES-LCA63-S, the Bronze Award winner. Here s more on choosing an electric head shaver to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of nine products.
Going bald is not something to be feared, it is something to be embraced. In fact, many men actively choose a bald look by shaving their head. Whether or not you're one of the millions of men experience hair loss throughout their adult lives or you just want a shaved look, with the right product, you can shave your head and have a very distinguished, attractive look.
Is an Electric Shaver Better Than a Razor?
Electric head shavers are a go-to tool for many men who desire a bald appearance. These products have many benefits over a traditional, manual razor. Electric razors shave hair much faster than any manual product because as they cut, they roll up the skin, which forces hair out, making it easier to cut. These products also help reduce unwanted cuts and ingrown hairs. They don t require any type of shaving cream, gel, soap, etc. This allows you to easily shave, no matter your location.
However, if you do choose to use an electric shaver, be aware there is a learning curve. These products can easily cause irritation and lead to redness of your skin. Most of these products are rechargeable, so you will need to be aware of how much battery and power is left on the device before you use it. Take a look at our articles on electric head shavers to see more of the benefits for using this type of product.
Electric razors can provide fast shaves, and their cordless capabilities make it possible to shave no matter your location, but nothing will produce that smooth shave you will receive from a manual razor. That's why a manual razor requires very little maintenance and are much more affordable than an electric razor. However, these products must be replaced more often than an electric product.
Electric Shaving Technology
Even though electric head shavers have a similar purpose - to shave you head - not all products are alike. There are two main types of shaving technology that you will find: foil and rotary cutters.
A foil razor means that a thin layer of metal covers the blades, making it particularly gentle on the skin. This type of razor is ideal for sensitive skin. The foil features small slots throughout it, and as it goes against the skin, the hair passes through the slots pass and is cut. This type of razor gives you one of the closest cuts; however, you may find that you will need to shave every day to maintain that close cut look you desire. Additionally, this type of razor is ideal to cut fine and straighter hair. Thick and coarse hair will have a more difficult time being cut in the smaller slot of the foil.
Rotary cutters work just as the name suggests: by rotating. A rotating shaver head moves in a circular motion and cuts hair as it passes. This type of shaving technology is ideal if you have thicker hair or hair that grows in many directions. This type of electric shaver will not give you the closest shave, but the rotating motions is ideal for reaching all areas of your head.
Electric Head Shavers: How We Tested, What We Found
Many manufacturer s claim to have electric razors that shave quickly and cover large areas. Many also claim to provide a smooth, silky shave. We tested each of the electric head shavers on our lineup to determine each claim s accuracy.
We tested each of the products for their overall performance and how much surface area they actually covered. We also rated each product on how smooth the final results felt to the touch. Several of the best electric shavers were used on numerous heads to shave off the stubble and uncut hairs that were left behind from products with lower performance scores.
Furthermore, we rated the overall design of the electric shaver and the grip of the device. Some electric shavers sport unique designs, but that can make the device awkward to hold, especially when reaching the back of your head for extended periods of time. A design that makes the shaver hard to hold often contributed to it missing areas on the head during our testing.
Top Ten Reviews seeks, whenever possible, to evaluate all products and services in hands-on tests that simulate as closely as possible the experiences of a typical consumer. We obtained the electric head shavers in our comparison [through retail purchase. The manufacturers had no input or influence over our test methodology, nor was the methodology provided to any of them in more detail than is available through reading our reviews. Results of our evaluations were not provided to the companies prior to publication.
What Else is Important When Choosing an Electric Head Shaver?
When looking for the best electric head shaver, you must consider how often you plan to shave your head, how long it normally takes and if you wish to use the razor to also cut any facial hair. Below are a few additional features you may want to consider as you look for the best electric head shaver.
Power Source
Most electric head shavers feature cordless capabilities. This makes the product much more flexible and versatile. Many of these products will run on a single battery charge for at an hour. The best products will run for 70 to 90 minutes. Good electric razors will run 40 to 50 minutes while lower-end products will run for a much shorter period of time. A longer the battery life is particularly beneficial if you wish to shave facial hair as well as your head.
The amount of time it takes for the product to charge is one of the biggest differentiating factors for this type of product. Some electric shavers can fully charge within an hour. These are some of the best products available. Other products can take several hours to charge. Some companies even suggest that their products be charged overnight to receive a full charge.
If cordless capabilities are not a priority for you, many of these products also include a cord that you can plug in and receive full power throughout the entire duration of your shave. However, many of these power cords are not long and you may feel tethered to a wall. Plus, a corded shaver limits your options to shave while on the go.
Skin Type
Your specific skin type will make a difference in the product you choose. When you shave, you remove a small layer of skin. When you shave the same area over and over, you will continue to remove layers of skin, which results in red, irritated skin. Some head shavers feature different settings that allow you to choose how close of a shave you get. If you have sensitive skin, this is particularly beneficial as sensitive skin options will help reduce redness and be more gentle on your skin.
Maintaining your electric shaver can be extremely complicated and time consuming or it can be as simple as running it under water. Several products are washable and can be rinsed under running tap water. Electric head shavers cannot be submerged and certainly should not be used in a shower, but many can handle some water to rinse off the cut hairs. Other products may require cleaning oil and a brush. Many products that require this type of cleaning and maintenance use blades to cut the hair.
Electric Head Shavers: Our Verdict and Recommendations
Our top three products towered over the others due to their outstanding performance and ease of use. Our number one product, the Skull Shaver Bald Eagle Smart shaved heads quickly in our testing and its unique design made it easy to reach all areas of the head.
Two products, the Philips Norelco Do-It-Yourself and Remington Short Cut Clippers, are standout products as they are designed with blades to cut hair. Plus, they feature a head shaving attachment so you can get a variety of looks and use the product on a variety of individuals. You can use the blades and included guide combs to trim hair, then use the shaving attachment to shave areas of your head or face. You simply lock an included attachment onto the handle of the device and use it just like you would any razor. These two devices are some of the most versatile products on our lineup.
You should never be ashamed to go bald, and if you do choose to shave the locks, make sure you have a quality product to do it right.

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Good morning Monica, I'm Doug, and I'm very sorry to hear of your situation. My goal is to provide you with excellent service today. Under the workers compensation system, unless and until you settle your claim and eliminate future medical care as part of your settlement, the workers' compensation carrier continues to be liable to pay for your work injury-related medical expenses. However, if you are disabled and unable to perform your job, you should apply for social security disability (SSDI) immediately. SSDI and workers compensation are not mutually exclusive, and you may legal collect SSDI benefits while you are also receiving benefits from workers' compensation. And, after being on SSDI for 2 years, you will automatically qualify for MediCare to pay the non work injury related medical expenses that are not covered by workers' compensation. You do not have to choose between workers' compensation and SSDI. So, if your physician feels that you are disabled now, you should definitely apply for SSDI.
Social Security's definition of disability is as follows:
"Disability" under Social Security is based on your inability to work. We consider you disabled under Social Security rules if:
Here is a link where you can apply online for your benefit: http://www.ssa.gov/applyfordisability/Your benefit will be about the same as your full retirement age retirement benefit.
Please keep in mind that, even though you have already paid your deposit money over to JustAnswer, until you rate me highly for my service, I will not be paid for having assisted you with your questions. If you have additional follow-up questions, you may reply back to me using the Reply to Expert link and I will be happy to assist you further until your questions have been answered to your satisfaction. I wish you the best in your future. Doug
I wonder about the SSDI clause above, which states "We decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s)"
Will it be a problem that I have been enrolled in grad school while I have been dealing with the injury? It is my hope that I will be able to find a different kind of job than I had before, one that I can do despite the injury, but I am having a great deal of difficulty maintaining employment, I think because of the medication I take for the pain involved with my injury. It is affecting my school work too.
I actually may have just answered my own question. Because I think I will be eligible because if I can find work and keep work, it's not going to be something I can do full time. I think the best I can hope for is to be an adjunct professor, part time.
Hi Monica, Your enrollment in grad school will not prevent you from qualifying for social security. Many disabled persons collect SSDI benefits and attend school. If you receive SSDI, you may even earn money working part time---though not much. Social Security has what is called a trial work period. It is a period of 9 separate months where you may earn as much as you want. In 2013, any months you earn less than $750 gross wages in do not count. After you have had a total of 9 months where you earned more than $750 gross, you will be able to work and continue to receive benefits so long as you do not earn more than $1,040 per month. Here is a link to a social security site which explains this in greater detail: http://www.ssa.gov/redbook/eng/ssdi-only-employment-supports.htm You may reply back to me using the Continue the Conversation or Reply to Expert link and I will be happy to continue to assist you until I am able to address your concerns, to your satisfaction. Please remember to rate my service to you when our communication is completed. I wish you the best in 2013, Doug
Thank you for your positive rating of my service, Monica. It has been my pleasure to assist you and I hope than you will ask for me on JustAnswer should a future need ever arise. I am generally available at least 6 days a week, and often 7, and it would be my privilege to assist you again in the future.Please feel free to bookmark the following link so you can request me to answer any future legal questions you may have, or simply ask for me by name in the first sentence of your new question:http://www.justanswer.com/law/expert-lawtalk/Thanks again.DougWhen you receive your Customer Satisfaction Survey from JustAnswer, please do rate me highly (9-10) there as well. It would be tremendously appreciated.
Thank you, yes, I will do that (all of the above re: bookmarking, asking for you by name, and rating you 9-10)

The very best smooth top roofer materials is unquestionably an individual page of plastic customized for weatherproofing smooth rooftops, for example Fire-Stone's EPDM merchandise.
That Is set straight onto roofing boarding, it self reinforced by irritating and the roofing rafters. http://www.roofingdenver.biz/ Insulating materials is generally set in the area involving both, and anyhow you might also just take the chance of reviving that simultaneously in case you are reviving your smooth top.
This may most likely function as advice you obtain from just about any reliable contractor or roofer on changing your current smooth top guiding you.
Till lately the most famous substance for a brand new smooth top was bituminous believed the top two fused to the one under with mastic bitumen and also set in three levels, the initial level nailed down. Conditioned upon the substance employed, this might imply distributing it equally within the full region of the roofing and liquidising a strong bitumen-established substance by heat it, then putting it onto the fundamental believed.
Subsequently you'd to watch for the substance to cool before using another level, and in the finish distributing a coating of rock chippings on the roofing and connecting it having a chipping substance, this being to mirror sunshine and stop the experienced and bitumen degrading rapidly.
It was wholly an extremely sloppy, complex and time consuming occupation most useful left to the pros. Additionally, there were a few phases where it was extremely simple to neglect to really make the top weather proof, e.g. where the border of the experienced satisfied the present tile or standing roofer of the message top.
In addition, if, or instead when, there created a leak in the smooth top, it might be rather difficult and dirty to discover in which the rainwater was acquiring in. Rarely might the symptom of the leak in the roof of the area under be right under the origin of it. Before descending to the roof plank underneath water can complete a weakness in the bitumen believed and journey along a rafter.
The new-generation of gum elastic-established smooth roofer techniques are much outstanding. In case you have sensible Do-It-Yourself skills then you definitely may likely do it-yourself, with another man to help. You can readily locate an area provider of plastic smooth top roofer materials on the internet, and the existing cost is around AGBP6.65 per-square metre.
Many providers reduce the substance to the precise form and dimensions which you need therefore there are not any unneeded ties, meaning no flaws and an intensely long lasting, leak proof top.
The vital component of the complete procedure is always to ensure there are any present message top where rainwater may permeate and no openings involving the plastic top. To make sure there are not any troubles it's important to perform the plastic stuff up and beneath the tiles or slates of the adjacent toss top therefore that any rainwater leaking from the lowermost line drops onto the gum elastic, without any chance of it overlapping the border and becoming beneath the message top.
In addition, make certain that the present pitch of the smooth top to the guttering or other way of water avoid is preserved. The gum elastic covered where suitable with alloy mounts or bitumen so that rainfall transmission is hopeless and is only pasted onto the roofing planks. Thoughts the paste addresses all of the below of the gum elastic in order to prevent lumps in the top which could block the drain of the water aside.
Plastic rooftops have already been revealed to survive for more than 50 years under all seasons, therefore it actually is the sole smooth top roofer materials you need to think about when choosing a brand new smooth top.

Recently I bought Dankung Panther (see Panther at http://www.dankung.c...rave-p-437.html ). It's precisely made shooter and also can be banded very strong bands. Anyway, I would like better something like Dankung Agile Toucan (see http://www.dankung.c...shot-p-395.html ) or maybe Marlin as it looks similar to Toucan (see http://www.dankung.c...hods-p-733.html )
Is there anyone who would like to trade Toucan (or Marlin) for my Panther?
Edit: bad title.. should have been "Dankung Panther for Agile Toucan"..

Hello Mr. Jain,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
However, if you can elaborate the issue a little more for us to understand the problem better and improve.
If the issue is with the grip , it might happen that the grip deteriorates over a period of time due to improper storage at our Warehouse or the store.
We can change the grip immediately for you.
For the bat face, there is a fibre tape stuck on the it to protect the surface from moisture, external marks etc. and to protect the edges from getting chipped off.
It is an artificial tape stuck over the natural bat surface.
Thank you

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My boyfriend's public defender has recently removed himself from his case.
My boyfriend is now looking to file for a motion to dismiss his federal indictments for the reason of lack of evidence and double jeopardy.
Without a lawyer- can some one please tell me how to go about doing this and also point me in the direction of a notice of motion and the actual motion to dismiss form. Even just an example if applicable
I haven't been able to find one for a federal criminal case.
Thank you for your time
Forms are not going to help you here. Preparing a motion to dismiss is fact specific and you will really need an attorney to do it. You should, instead, focus your time on arranging for another attorney for your boyfriend. If his public defender removed himself because the attorney-client relationship had deteriorated and was not productive, the court will appoint your boyfriend another court appointed lawyer at no cost to your boyfriend. It is unusual that a new appointment was not made at the time that his PD withdrew. I suggest that you call the public defender's office and try to determine whether someone else has been appointed to represent your boyfriend.Ask a similar question
There really are no form motions to file in federal court. The laws relating to double jeopardy and dismissal are very complicated. Although, for example, double jeopardy could be a basis to dismiss an indictment, lack of evidence isn't. And double jeopardy means that he was already tried or convicted of the same offense in federal court. Having the same charge in state court is not double jeopardy. Even if his public defender has removed himself, your boyfriend is still entitled to a lawyer. I strongly urge him to have a new lawyer appointed because a mistake in federal court could cost him dearly in the form of extra years in prison.
This answer is provided for educational purposes only and is not intended as the practice of law in any jurisdiction in which I am not licensed. The answer does not constitute legal advice nor does it create an attorney-client relationship. The answer is based only on the information provided, and may be inaccurate in the context of additional facts that have not been provided. The questioner should be aware that I am only licensed to practice law in the state and federal courts of Minnesota. Accordingly, before taking any action or refraining from taking any action, the questioner should consult with an attorney licensed to practice in his or her jurisdiction.Ask a similar question
Your boyfriend is entitled to a lawyer if he is indigent, unless he requests to represent himself. If the court allowed his public defender to withdraw from representing him, the court will appoint another lawyer to do so. Although your efforts to assist are very laudable, it is not possible to find your way through these issues without knowledge of and experience in federal criminal law.
Joshua Sabert Lowther, Esq.
I agree with all of my colleagues who have answered, but you don't have to take our word for it. Go to the clerk's office at the federal district court and look through some case files. In most districts they are now computerized and can be read on public access terminals in the clerk's office. See what goes into the motions in well defended federal cases.
Your friend needs an attorney. The judge has seen many cases in which the client and the first attorney appointed could not work together successfully, and requests for change of appointed counsel are not unusual. But federal defense is not a do-it-yourself project. I recently finished a federal jury trial in which two of the defendants were attorneys, one a criminal defense attorney with many years of experience. You can be sure that neither of them tried to handle his own case and both retained able and respected counsel.Ask a similar question

Marriage, marathons as 'The Force Awakens' for U.S. fans
(Reuters) - An Australian couple got married on Thursday as they waited in line for the first U.S. public showings of "Star Wars; The Force Awakens," while movie theaters around the country held marathons of the previous films in the franchise.
Caroline Ritter, 34, a truck driver, and firefighter Andrew Porters, 29, were among about 100 die-hard fans who camped outside Hollywood's Chinese Theatre since Dec. 5 for the opening of "The Force Awakens."
Ritter was walked down the aisle by another fan, dressed as Darth Vader, and a violinist played the "Star Wars" theme music as the couple exchanged vows. They plan to celebrate by seeing the movie afterward.
Online ticket seller Fandango said on Thursday that the new movie, which has received glowing reviews, has already broken its record for the most tickets sold for any film's entire theatrical run.
"It is Fandango's top-selling movie of all time, even before it has even hit theater screens," said Fandango President Paul Yanover.
But movie studio Walt Disney Co says millions of tickets are still available this weekend as theaters add capacity to meet demand.
At the first set of screenings on Thursday at Universal City, near Hollywood, fans were dressed in characters ranging from Jedi soldiers to Stormtroopers.
Carol Vasquez, 24, from South Gate, California, who came in costume, said she was excited to see the return of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.
"It's something so incredible that I can't even describe. It's like family, this is family here right now," she said. Continued...

Five years ago, the University of Nebraska Press and many academic publishers were stunned when the State University of New York Press obtained the rights to a book that had been central to Nebraska's prominence in Native American studies and that had sold more than 1 million copies from 1961 until 2008. And many observers were also angry, because the contract with SUNY Press came as Gary H. Dunham left the Nebraska press directorship for that of SUNY.
The book was Black Elk Speaks, the autobiography of a Lakota healer who describes pivotal events in Native American history. In 1930, he met and came to trust John Neihardt, [1] a poet and writer who later became poet laureate of Nebraska and who wrote the book based on his in-depth discussions with Black Elk. When Neihardt died in 1973, a trust of his heirs gained control of the book, and it is that trust that had for years worked with the Nebraska press -- until Dunham moved to New York.
While the University of Nebraska Press may seem a more logical home than SUNY's for a book about American Indians on the Great Plains (given its strong list in Native American studies, not just geography), Dunham defended the move at the time, saying that the trust wanted a change and that he was happy to work with its officials. Many university press officials were shocked and angry, [2] and several said that they would never -- as a director moving to a new press -- seek to take a prized publication with them in this way. A further twist, in 2010, SUNY eliminated Dunham's position at the press, [3] so while the book remained under contract there, the person who had brought it was no longer there.
So on Tuesday, Nebraska press officials were elated to announce that Black Elk Speaks -- used both by scholars and in classrooms -- was coming back. Both SUNY and Nebraska tried for the contract, but the Neihardt Trust this time opted to go back to Nebraska. Nebraska also announced plans to publish annotated editions of other Neihardt works, including Cycle of the West and Eagle Voice Remembers.
Donna Shear, director of the Nebraska press, had nothing by praise for SUNY in an interview Tuesday. She said that press officials there had been "gracious and cooperative" about a transition for the book. Still, she said that she had never "heard of anything in the university press community" like the way Black Elk Speaks migrated.
"I don't know that one book makes a lesson," she said. "But when you have something as prominent and important to you, you can't afford to take it for granted."
The current co-directors at SUNY Press, James Peltz and Donna Dixon, responded to questions about the shift via e-mail. They said they were "disappointed" not to hold on to the book, but said they understood. "In so many ways, Nebraska is the natural home for this book," they said.
The book sold well at SUNY, they said, "better than the average scholarly book, to be sure."
Asked if they saw lessons from Black Elk's five-year sojourn in New York State, they said, "you can go home again."

it's like guns. they are just fun!!
Ditto on the black widow bows. they are perfectly made, balanced and beautiful bows. I knew them when they built bows out of their converted garage just south of Nixa Mo. I grew up shooting long bows. Moved up to re curves and finally converted to compounds. As I have grown older I have enjoyed rediscovering the joys of regressing (or progressing) to natural shooting again. There is a certain feeling that goes beyond pride in being able to use a bow without *thinking* through the shot and feeling the bow become an extension of your own body, and letting the unconscious part of you take over and guide the arrow to its target.
thanks for the answer. i don't plan to hunt with it. it''s just for fun and backup if ammo goes out of style :-D
i do some weight lifting, but for toning, not bulk :-D that, riding, and farm work, seem to have given me enough strength for this hobby.
Still, as mentioned, the muscles you use for a bow seem to be muscles you don't use for much of anything else...The old long bows in England used to be 150 to 200 pounds. It's amazing what a human can do with practice...

UVa.'s Accreditor Says Sullivan Ouster Has 'Raised Questions' About Compliance
The unexpected ouster of President Teresa A. Sullivan of the University of Virginia has drawn the attention of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Colleges, the institution's accrediting agency. Mark Smith, the agency's vice president, wrote in an e-mail to Ms. Sullivan on Monday that news reports about the weeks-long controversy have "raised questions" about the university's compliance with the agency's principles of accreditation. The university must now prepare a report that documents its compliance with certain accrediting standards. "In accord with Commission policy on the receipt of unsolicited information, the institution's response will be reviewed, and if Commission staff determines that the information is of factual substance and is accreditation related, the information and documentation, along with the institution's response will be forwarded to the Committees on Compliance and Reports for formal review," Mr. Smith wrote. "Or, it is possible that the President of the Commission could authorize a Special Committee to review the institution."Return to Top

The Sun has been awarded a Guinness World Record accolade for giving away two energy-saving lightbulbs per copy with its January 19 issue. The record, for the largest distribution of free energy-saving lightbulbs, is jointly awarded to the paper, to Southern Electric, who supplied the bulbs, and to the environmental consultants Cool nrg, who brokered the Great British Light Switch campaign.
In the end, some 4.5m light bulbs were given away and, once fitted, it is estimated that they could save up to £20m off the UK energy bill and up to 387,000 tonnes of CO2. It proved to be a huge promotional success for The Sun, with circulation that Saturday rising to nearly 3,908,000 copies, some 408,000 more than the previous Saturday. A Sun executive said after the figures emerged: "We are gobsmacked."
More later on this from a Sun spokeswoman. (Sources: webitpr/Earth Times)
