About Me Bookworm
Comments about oreilly iPad: The Missing Manual:
I like the paperstock and slick picture book appearance of this "reference," but that's about it... Apple doesn't include a printed manual in the iPad box, nor does Apple include a PDF version of said iPad manual(s) on the iPad, itself. (How would you read the PDF, anyway, when Apple doesn't even bundle iBooks on the iPad? Which is a whole other story and pet peeve of mine.) But, Apple has released at least *three* (that I'm aware of at the time of this writing) iPad/iOS User Manuals. These are reasonably well done, once you gain access to them (from the Manuals section of the Apple iPad Support website). The official Apple iPad User Guide covers the basics of hardware that are covered in i:TMM, but, perhaps, with fewer illustrations. What i:TMM doesn't have, that the official Apple iPad User Guides have, are details specific to a relevant point-release of iOS. In the month of March 2011, Apple released iOS 4.3 and then 4.3.1. This edition of i:TMM is tombstoned at iOS pre-4.2.1. Apple also releases PDFs of iPad Important Product Notes and iPad accessory manuals. So, quite frankly, I expected more from i:TMM than what I found. (i:TMM is a book that needs to be kept in perpetual update mode via Safari.)i:TMM does go into some introductory/novice detail about "apps," gaming, managing local storage that the offical Apple iPad manuals do not address. None of this stuff was news to me. I am deeply bothered by the fact that no iPad book that I've come across devotes any serious attention to iPad/iOS security, or lack thereof. What little I do see is lip service to official Apple mantra that fails to ask any of the right questions in this department. Full-disk encryption, the tyranny of iTunes and a download-hobbled Mobile Safari are no substitute for a full security model. As long as JavaScript can execute, as long as e-mail attachments can be opened/saved, as long as scriptable file content can be shared/accessed, there are ways around Apple's fig leaves of iPad/iOS security. Allowing multiple people to use the same iPad in this context is InfoSec insanity. Someday, when there are writers who will write frankly about the iPad, without feeling any need to toe the official Apple line, there will be an introductory iPad "manual" that will fully discuss the pros/cons of "jailbreaking" iOS and then go on to address some of the third-party solutions to the gaping holes in Apple's imagining of iPad security. This is a very important subject for every iPad user that allows their iPad to come into any contact with sensitive/regulated data, not just limited to company financials, medical patient records, etc. As such, any Missing Manual can and should explain and examine the world of Cydia. There, I said it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: I'm sorry to hear that you're disappointed with iPad: The Missing Manual. I checked into your concerns and discovered that the version of the book on Safari is indeed an older version. We've contacted Safari and asked them to upload the latest version of the book, which includes coverage of iOS4. The current version should be up within a few days. Peter McKie

This book is ok if you have never owned a previous Apple product. It pales in comparison to the iPhone books. Very dull and very basic. The iPhone books are full of tips and shortcuts and advice on using the device to its fullest. This book seems like it was rushed out before the author had time to do more than use the device for a week or so. Not many recommendations and very limited app reviews.

Excellent quick-start guide & reference!
By humedini
from Haywards Heath, UK
About Me Designer, Developer
Apple famously doesn't see the need to include manuals with their products. Aside from the basic "finger tips" leaflet that comes with most iOS devices information no how to actually use the product is scarce. With the launch of the iPad, tablet computing (and in a lot of cases just plain computing) became a lot more accessible. Many people who weren't interested in having a smart phone, and therefore have never used an iPhone have been attracted to the iPad - with its excellent performance for basic Internet based activities it isn't hard to see why. But what do all these Apple novices do when they get their products home? How do they know how to use them? Things that seem so basic to IT professionals and those in the "industry" are not always apparent to these new users who may have little or no computing experience, let alone experience of using Apple products!This situation has opened up a market for publishers to fill the void in information, and provide a text that can be used as an introduction to the platform, and as a reference guide for when the user gets stuck. One of the most successful series of these books is the 'Missing Manual' series from O'Reilly Media, and the latest incarnation entitled "iPad: The Missing Manual" is an excellent addition to the ever growing stable of titles in this genre and series. The book is broken into sections covering all the basics that will be required to get things done with the iPad. These sections cover the physical build and layout of the iPad and what the buttons do, interacting with the iPad, Getting online and surfing the web, keeping in touch via email, the basic apps built into the iPad, using the App Store and iBooks, using iWork – and in my opinion the most important section syncing the iPad with iTunes and mastering iTunes in general. These last two sections are vital for a new user as iTunes continues to grow into a sprawling multimedia mess that is far less intuitive than almost every other Apple software product. This is the aspect of Apple product ownership that is most likely to be alien to a new user, and one of the questions I am most frequently asked to help people out with. In addition to the above there are valuable sections dedicated to helping the user with copying music and video to the device, as well as troubleshooting tips for those having specific problems with the iPad. The content is delivered in a clear and concise fashion, and absolutely hits the right mixture of narrative and instructional content to ease inexperienced users through the early days of iPad ownership. Readers aren't talked down to, nor are assumptions made about their pre-existing knowledge of the iPad or associated systems. The book delivers information at an appropriate pace to gently take a user by the hand and lead them through their first experiences with this revolutionary computing solution, without the frustration of feeling under qualified or incapable. In my experience, even users with a minimal number of hours under their belts can pick up fairly complex systems as long as they have the confidence to give things a try. As the iPad is generally conceived to be a fairly simple device to master once you get the basics under control I felt that this book would make an ideal companion for someone who feels they are either in need of a little confidence boost when using the iPad for the first few times – or those who feel they are not getting the best from their iPad and could use it more. I reviewed the .epub eBook version of the publication and read it within iBooks on the iPad. The formatting of the book was excellent and it looked great on the iPad screen. The screen grabs were very clear and well annotated and overall the reading experience was very good. Carrying around this enhanced user manual on the device itself is a great idea, as if and when you come across any potential pitfalls it is possible to consult the book wherever you are – this is after all a mobile device! (unless you value the opinion of Mark Zuckerberg). The only negatives I could find were that the version of the eBook that I had was slightly out of date following the iOS 4.2 update. The rotation lock button changes and multi-tasking additions are not covered yet. All in all, I felt that this would be a great gift for someone receiving an iPad for Christmas, and if you are giving an iPad as a gift, why not pre-install the eBook on there as a special personal touch to ensure the recipient can get stuck into using the iPad right from the get-go! A valuable addition for any new iPad user!

The *Best* Computer Book I've Ever Owned
By MJ
from Western Mountains of NC
I'd like to echo another reviewer - the wonder of this book isn't just that Ms. Biersdorfer presents a complete, thorough, detailed look at the iPad from the very basics and up, it's *how* she does it. I started with an iPad won in a contest, my first ever mobile device, and I was lost. Everything else I tried to read, or people I asked, assumed I was familiar with material and techniques that were new to me. The nicest ones left me still clueless, the less nice ones left me feeling stupid. I was about to give the thing away when I found this wonderful book. I've gone from clueless to being able to show an Apple salesperson a thing or two thankyouverymuch :) The writing is clear and detailed with a step-by-step approach, but more importantly it is friendly and fun. I felt as though a good friend were looking over my shoulder showing the way, anticipating my questions. The topics are arranged logically in chapters and I was able to start with a solid basic foundation and then go on to explore the various features, from apps to games. I learned how to sync painlessly too.This book is never out of the iPad's case and one I don't lend. Now that the new iOS 4.2 is out, I am hoping that this author will write The Sequel and plan to buy several copies this time around so that I can share with others as well.Thank you, Ms. Biersdorfer. Thanks to your book I've learned a lot about the iPad and even more importantly, regained a sense of the fun adventure that the learning can be.MJ

Better than a Manual
By HartleyJ
from Lyndon, Vermont
About Me User Group Ambassador
I have not read very much in iPad: The Missing Manual because my wife is reading it. My wife will not read, or even look for answers to questions in, computer books because they are written by computer people in a language that she cannot understand. iPad: The Missing Manual is different. It is not like computer manuals. It is written by a real writer, J. D. Biersdorfer, in sentences real people can understand. It even has a touch of humor. For example after explaining how to edit a Safari history list so that you understand what it is and how to edit it, she adds, "Congratulations. You have just rewritten history!"Contrary to the myths, not everything about iPad is intuitive and obvious. As an example, editing and reorganizing bookmarks is easy to do, but not obvious until you do it. With iPad: The Missing Manual learning to do it is easy, fast, and even enjoyable. My wife likes her iPad. She is learning how to do more with it, and how to get the most out of it by reading iPad: The Missing Manual. She sometimes asks me computer questions, but she does not ask me iPad questions. She knows I have not read yet iPad: The Missing Manual.

Quite helpful
By maisry

Only halfway through and I've learned several handy techniques. The Missing Manual reveals lots of hidden possibilities. Did you know you can take screenshots? I was going to pass this on to my daughter, but it's such a handy reference, I'll be getting her a copy of her own.

Pretty nice

About Me Maker
I like this book. Simple to read, and tells me things I didn't know about the iPad even though I've already learned lots about it. The ebook could have been formatted smarter. *Some* publishers of ebooks format their pages in landscape format, which makes it easier on a computer screen or iPad. (Yes, you can turn the iPad to portrait orientation, but with the whole page on the screen, the text is *just* too small to read comfortably (for me).

For two Tar Heel defensive series midway through the second half Saturday against Wisconsin, all was right with the world. Six snaps for the opposition, minus-eight yards in offense. A big swing in field position in Carolina's favor. Pressure from the line, linebackers and secondary. Outstanding individual efforts across the board. And lots of noise and emotion emanating from field to fans and back again. (Tar Heel Blue)

text: Last night I was printing to my Epson 7800 using Photoshop CS6 extended with my usual success. Before going to bed I updated my 10.8.2 to 10.8.3. This morning I went to continue printing and each time I sent a file to the printer, the computer would shut down and restart. I tried another time with the same result. I have also CS5 on the computer and tried printing from there with the same result. Hoping someone has some suggestions.

The U.S. Postal Service has decided not to shut down the Queens Processing and Distribution Center in College Point, a move that will save more than 700 jobs.
Thanks for this turnaround goes to U.S. Rep. Gary Ackerman.
"The decision to take the processing and distribution center off the chopping block is great news for the residents of Queens and the many businesses that depend on the critical services provided by this facility," said Ackerman.
On behalf of our readers, we thank Ackerman for fighting to keep this facility in College Point.
In December, he wrote a letter to the USPS's Triboro district manager, urging the agency not to eliminate mail operations at the facility.
To head off pending bankruptcy, the USPS had to close hundreds of facilities across the nation. In some cases, the service is closing post offices in towns and villages with small populations. People are losing jobs and these towns are losing a service they have come to rely on.
These were tough and unpopular decisions, but closing the College Point processing center never made sense. The fact that the center employed more than 700 people indicates the quantity of mail it handled.
"Businesses and organizations that send bulk mail would be particularly impacted as collection times would be earlier, while drop off times would be later," wrote Ackerman.
One more reason why we will miss the congressman when he retires.
Hero Dumps on Plan
Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the hero pilot who safely landed an airliner on the Hudson River, has lent his voice to those denouncing the construction of the North Shore Marine Transfer Station.
Critics say the waste station, being built in College Point, will attract birds and put passenger planes landing at LaGuardia Airport at risk of potentially disastrous bird strikes.
Sullenberger agrees. In radio ads he says the station "will attract birds into the path of oncoming flights, putting thousands of lives at risk, including passengers in the sky and citizens on the ground."

Site: French Lick, Ind.
Course: French Lick Resort, Pete Dye Course (par 72, 7,152 yards)
Tournament: Big Ten Championships
U-M Team Standing: 10th Place of 12 Teams (301-306-312-304/1223)
Top U-M Individual: Chris O'Neill, tie-13th (72-73-76-76/297)
Next U-M Event: Monday, May 6 -- NCAA Selection Show (NCAA.com), 9 p.m.
FRENCH LICK, Ind. -- Backed by top-15 individual finishes from freshmen Chris O'Neill (Glen Allen, Va./Deep Run HS) and Brett McIntosh (London, Ontario, Canada/Saunders Secondary School), the University of Michigan men's golf team posted a 1,223 final team total to finish 10th at the Big Ten Championships today (Sunday, April 28) at the Pete Dye Course at the French Lick Resort.
With an even-par 72 from O'Neill and a two-over 74 from McIntosh, the Wolverines opened the 72-hole conference tournament with a 301 (Friday, April 26). In the second 18 of the 36-hole day, the duo struck again as O'Neill's one-over 73 and McIntosh's 75 led U-M to a 306 second-round total and ninth at 607. The third round saw the Wolverines slip to 12th as O'Neill and McIntosh each carded 76s, and U-M tallied a 312.
In today's final round, McIntosh led the Maize and Blue with a closing two-over 74, while O'Neill and sophomore Noori Hyun (Seoul, Korea/Centreville HS [Va.]) each tallied 76s. With those scores, U-M rallied from the day's previous score to net a 304 team total and close 10th with a 1,223 total.
Individually, O'Neill (72-73-76-76) led U-M from start to finish as he tied for 13th with his 297 total. He became U-M's first freshman to lead the Wolverines at the conference tournament since 2004. Classmate McIntosh (74-75-76-74) followed just two shots back as he tied for 15th with his 299, while senior Matt Alessi (Bloomfield Hills, Mich./Birmingham Brother Rice) tied for 54th at 314 (78-79-778). Rounding out the U-M conference scoring was Hyun, who was 57th at 316 (80-79-81-76), and senior Miguel Echavarria (Medellin, Colombia/The Columbus School), who was 58th at 321 (77-80-84-80).
With three individuals among the top eight, including medalist Thomas Pieters (284, -4) and co-medalist runner-up Brian Campbell (289), Illinois won its fifth straight conference title after tallying an 1,163 championship total. The Fighting Illini were nine shots better than runner-up Minnesota, which finished at 1,172. Iowa finished third at 1,186.
U-M will now wait to see if the Wolverines will have an individual invited to an NCAA Regional, which will take place Thursday through Saturday (May 16-18). There will be six different regional sites for this year's NCAA postseason -- Columbus, Ohio (OSU's Scarlet Course); Tallahassee, Fla. (Golden Eagle Country Club); Fayetteville, Ark. (The Blessings Golf Club); Baton Rouge, La. (University Club); Pullman, Wash. (Palouse Ridge Golf Club) and Tempe, Ariz. (Karsten Golf Course).

Previous Results: Day 2 | Day 1
Chris O'Neill is the first freshman to lead U-M at the Big Ten Championships since Kevin Dore (t-10th) led at the 2004 conference tournament held at the U-M Golf Course.
The last time Michigan had two players finish among the top 15 at the Big Ten Championships was during the 2011 Big Ten Championships when Matt Thompson and Jack Schultz both tied for 13th.
Chris O'Neill finished the tournament season leading U-M in five of the 12 events. With current records, he is the first freshman to lead U-M in scoring average, at 73.96 per round, which is the 14th-best season average in U-M history.
Chris O'Neill is just the third freshman to post a season average below 74 and is third on U-M's all-time freshman single-season average list. He is behind Matt Thompson (73.54, 2008-09) and Jack Schultz (73.67, 2009-10).
Matt Alessi and Miguel Echavarria closed their Michigan careers. After walking on to the team as a junior, Alessi started 23 straight events for U-M over the last two seasons. Echavarria started 26 of 32 events in his four-year career.
Michigan Head Coach Chris Whitten
On the Big Ten Championships ... "I felt like the third round was the one that got away from us. We were expecting to move up and get back into the competitive part of the pack that day. The golf course just got the better of us. I was really happy to see our two freshmen have nice events in their first Big Ten experience. It is a really big and tough golf course. Chris (O'Neill) and Brett (McIntosh) really were able to get through the course well and gain some valuable experience to help them in the future. It will be sad to lose Matt (Alessi) and Miguel (Echavarria). I know they didn't really have the last tournament that they wanted. They paced the team all year with their attitude, culture and just being good leaders. They were really important members of the team and will be missed."
On the impact of freshmen ... "With Chris (O'Neill) and Brett (McIntosh), they both adjusted to college golf really quickly. They were able to compete right away. Coming back I feel those guys are going to be the leaders of the team because even though we are young they know what it takes to have success. They are both competitive guys, and they both want to see the program get better quickly. I think they are the guys to do it. Andrew (Yeager) for one really made some big improvements this year. I didn't know if he would challenge for a starting spot this year, and he ended up starting for us. The changes in his game were obvious to everyone for the better."
On early thoughts of next season ... "There will be some turnover. We lose two great leaders in Matt (Alessi) and Miguel (Echavarria), who played a lot of events. We have three guys coming in, and we expect all three to compete immediately for starting spots. Even for the players on the team that did not play this week. They really have a chance to step on the gas this summer, make some improvements and push the group. Next year our expectations will be higher than what we were able to accomplish this year."

47% of Americans agree that they follow or engage with at least one brand on a social networking site, according to survey results from Ipsos Open Thinking Exchange, putting the US slightly above the 24-country average (44%) in brand engagement. Within the US, women are 21% more likely than men to say they engage with brands on social networks, and 18-34-year-olds are more than twice as likely as those 50 and up to do so (63% vs. 29%).
The study also reveals some other interesting demographics dynamics in brand engagement:
Interestingly, there appears to be little correlation between time spent social networking and the propensity to follow a brand, at least with respect to these demographic gaps. For example, recent research from Ipsos demonstrated that those with low household income spend more time social networking than those with high household income, and the unemployed spend more time than the employed. Those gaps were not seen in the brand engagement study. Of note, though, business owners and senior executives appear to spend more time social networking and more likely to engage with brands. Unsurprisingly, women outpaced men, and the young outpaced the more mature in both respects.
About the Data: The Ipsos data is based on a weighted sample size of 12,000, from an online survey conducted between November 6th and 20th, 2012 across 24 countries, with adults aged 18-64 in the US and Canada, and 16-64 in all other countries. The US data is based on a sample size of 500.
The countries reporting were: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the US.

Any Questions -- and Roman omens
When I was about 12, I asked a question on "Any Questions" when it visited Telford New Town. It was one of those "What should the government do. . . " type questions. In this case, what should the government about a group of merchant seamen who (as I recall ) had been arrested by the Chinese. One of the said seamen came from Market Drayton in Shropshire, and was indeed the brother of one of my school friends.
I remember two things about this occasion. The first was that I was a bit disappointed with the panel's answers (one of them, I remember, called me "Madam" -- a form of address I didn't feel particularly applied to me, aged 12). The second was that it seemed wonderfully exciting to be sitting up there on the stage saying what you thought about all these questions that people threw at you. And there, I suppose, a little ambition was born.
An ambition fulfilled on Friday night, when I did appear on "Any Questions" – broadcast from Ashtead in Surrey.
It meant for a fun week beforehand – largely because there was a perfect alibi for spending every evening reading the newspapers, on the grounds that one was prepping for the questions.
"Any Questions" is quite unlike any other live radio programme I've ever been on (OK, no boasting here – not all that many). Usually you have lots of pre-prep…you talk to the producer or his/her assistant, they tell you what they are going to ask and you say what you are going to say in reply. On "Any Questions" the questions really are a surprise: they're "sight unseen". That gives it the kind of adrenaline rush that you remember from going into an exam.
The first question was about the near-plane crash at Heathrow. I'd been reading a lot about this, and hoping that it wasn't going to become one of those nasty incidents in which our pilot heroes who saved the day would turn -- after we'd looked at the black-box etc -- into sadly negligent characters who had (eg) failed to pull the throttle, or whatever, at the right moment. Pilot error in other words. (No sign of that so far, thank heavens.)
It did strike me, though, that there was a terribly ominous quality here ("ominous" in the Roman sense, that is). One plane nearly crashes as Mr Brown waits to take off en route to China. Even better is the story reported by the Evening Standard (but nowhere else so far as I can see – so I didn't use it on the show), that Brown had been prevented from using the VIP suite at Heathrow because it was already occupied by the Qatari royal family.
It doesn't take much of a classicist to see what Tacitus would have made of this. "There were those that said that a new world order was being foretold, when they saw that the Prime Minister was kept out of the VIP suite by eastern royalty and prevented from taking off by a crashing British jet….".
But my verdict on "Any Questions"? Well it's been my week snuggling up to the BBC. But I give it 10 out of 10 on a lot of scores. .. and a "well worth the licence fee" vote. We are always going on about people not turning up at election meetings and hustings. In Ashtead there were more than 300 people turning out on a rainy January night to hear three politicians and me (and, however much they enjoyed me, it was the politicians not Beard who had attracted them) chatting about Kenya, organ donation and party funding.
You can listen again for the next 7 days, here, and see what you think.

Joshua 24:31 seems like a straightforward theme verse for the book of Joshua: "Israel served Yahweh all the days of Joshua." Many contemporary scholars don't think so. They point to various incidents in the book as examples of unfaithfulness - the spies' decision to spare Rahab, who should have come under the ban; Achan's sacrilege; Joshua's and Israel's covenant with the Gibeonites, who also should have come under the ban; and the erection of an altar by the trans-Jordan tribes.
Rachel Billings points out in her "Israel Served the Lord": The Book of Joshua as Paradoxical Portrait of Faithful Israel that traditional interpreters possessed obvious resources to deal with these problems. They could refer to other parts of the Bible (e.g., James's and Hebrews' commendation of Rahab) as interpretive guides. The methodological strictures of critical scholarship prevent them from using these resources and so they "have had more difficulty in choosing the most suitable framework for interpreting the story" (27). Just so.
Billings, in any case, thinks that 24:31 is to be taken at face value, but suggests that this forces the reader to examine the complexities of what it means to "serve Yahweh" with faithfulness.
She disposes of the four "unfaithful" acts in great detail. Given Rahab's confession of faith in Yahweh, "the most 'obedient' - albeit unexpected - action for the spies to take vis-a-vis the book of Deuteronomy turns out to be the preservation of her life rather than her destruction. Traditional interpreters were quite perceptive in emphasizing the unexpectedly positive role of Rahab as a character" (43). When Achan steals things under the ban, the text says that "Israel sinned" (7:10), but their "attentiveness and responsiveness to YHWH's punishment, paired with a trust that does not allow such punishment to create a breach between Israel and its God . . . is what most clearly characterizes Israel as faithful in this passage" (51).
Joshua and Israel make a blunder with the Gibeonites, but "Israel's leaders demonstrate faithfulness in seeking to restore Israel's right standing before YHWH" by giving a treaty made in Yahweh's name priority over herem (77). Indeed, "Joshua symbolically submits the Gibeonites to herem in committing them to the service of the 'house of God' . . . devoting them as a living offering to YHWH" (127).
Billings also examines the tensions between statements about complete and incomplete conquest, suggesting that here too the text is not contradictory but merely complex: "the patchwork of occupied and yet-to-be-occupied territories points to the unfinished task of Israel's obedience and the ongoing work of YHWH in giving Israel the land." The incompleteness of the conquest is not a mark of Israel's unfaithfulness but instead shows that "the relationship between the Lord and Israel, between YHWH's advocacy and Israel's obedience, has not ended even once Israel has entered the land. The gift of the land is not a static grant, but a gift that exists only in dynamic relation to YHWH's giving" (128).
Two observations. First, I wonder if "serve" in Joshua 24:31 should be taken more narrowly. David is said to serve Yahweh and be a man after God's heart, even though he sins grievously. 1-2 Samuel doesn't present David as sinless, but as a man who has unwavering loyalty to God. That is, the point is about worship more than perfect obedience (cf. Joshua 22:27; 23:7, 16; 24:2, 14-16). This is indeed the great contrast between Israel under Joshua and Israel after: During the period of Judges, Israel does not serve Yahweh just insofar as she worships and serves idols (note the contrast of Judges 2:7 and 2:11-13, 19).
Second, heartened as I am by Billings's conclusions, I find the entire exercise very odd and a little sad. What would make anyone think that there was a contradiction between Joshua 24:31 and Israel's actions with regard to Aachan or the altar of Joshua 22? Rahab and the Gibeonites raise other issues, but the narratives clearly show that these Canaanites had switched sides - that is, they abandoned the service of their gods and began to "serve" Yahweh. Why would anyone think they would still be put under the ban? Billings's careful, solid book is powerful evidence of the confusions of critical scholarship, and the enormous energies that have to be expended to prove the obvious. What kind of progress would biblical studies have made if those same energies had been used more productively?

Sushi as a stocking stuffer may sound like a recipe for disaster, but not in the hands of Suedy's Koo-Ki Sushi. There's nothing fishy about this California company's gourmet treats—except the hard-to-shake conviction that they may actually be fine art, not foodstuffs. Each piece is molded by hand from chocolate, crispy rice cookies and other candies infused with flavors like mint, apricot or strawberry—all while looking perfectly like seaweed, salmon roe or shrimp. Koo-Ki Sushi takes this clever concept down to the tiniest detail: dollops of green tea-flavored "wasabi"; rosettes of ginger-infused chocolate; even a tiny tube of "soy sauce"—chocolate syrup—with which to top off your chocolate rolls or sashimi. The confections' flavors are as delightful and varied as their appearance, and the presentation is exquisite. Rolls come on edible chocolate plates or in perfectly arranged Bento boxes. Sides of chocolate chopsticks—a.k.a. Choc Sticks—or chocolate sake cups are also available. Add a traditional Japanese Lucky Cat—made of solid, hand-decorated Belgian chocolate—and you have the making of a truly unique feast. Imaginative and constantly surprising, Koo-Ki Sushi takes the notion of gourmet chocolates to a whole new level.
Editor's Note: Unfortunately, Koo-Ki Sushi is no longer available as of Spring 2009.

Bayfield 36'
Reedville VA
I have transited the CM, Absecon (AC) Inlets over a couple hundred times having lived in Ocean City, NJ for 18 years before moving to the Chessie 12 years ago. We use them on our annual trip to the LI Sound and NE every year. Cape May, Absecon ( Atlantic City) and Manequan are the relaitively safe inlets in NJ. They don not have entensive shoals on both sides leading out 11/2 miles and the shoals dont shift like many of the olthers do. We also use Barnegat Inlet, but that should be done with great care as it is tricky, shoaled, has some counterintuitive turnes and markers, and needs to be avoided in any NE component of wind. All other inlets the CG may moved the bouys on a daily basis based on shifting shoals.
To run aground at Absecon you must have really not been paying attention. I can only think it must bhave been in inside the jetties or perhaps you cut to close to the north side where Brigentine is. Further back near Clam Creek it can get tricky too.The Southern route is wide open close to the shoreline and the old piers of AC. It is a pretty benign inlet in foul weather as long as you give wide berth to the north edge shere it is shoaled outward 1/2 mile and some rollers come across part of the inlet in NE wind component storms.
If you enter from the south you dont have this issue as they have dissipated by that time. Sometimes its worth it if tansiting in from the north to continue little past the inlet about a mile out and then come in from a better angle.
We call Cape May the Indianapolis/ Daytona Inlet as the many fishing and deep sea head boats come roaring through there, waking any size sailboat not to mention a 23 footer. They take sport in watching you rock back and forth I think. Couple with a 3 knot current I can see where thats a pain in the ass for the poster.

Re: Sailing on the NJ shore
Feel free to PM me. I have my boat in Lavallette and would be happy to share any knowledge and tell you the good spots
Re: Sailing on the NJ shore
I highly recommend Sandy Hook Bay and Raritan Bay. I sail there alot on the weekends. The winds are typically 10-15 knots and the density of boat traffic is miniscule compared to Barnegat Bay. I think it is the best place to sail in New Jersey. You can join Keyport Yacht Club if you like, it is very inexpensive and you are guaranteed a mooring space. For small boat sailing--it is a no brainer--IMHO.
Re: Sailing on the NJ shore
New Jersey has approved at least 2 online courses... Boat Ed's (Nj course is one.) I think it costs $39.00. After that, you'd have to take an in-person exam that you can schedule through the online provider for $ 30.00
IF you're a seasonal visitor, and have taken a state approved course in another state, or a nasbla approved course and can provide documentation, you can operate in nj for up to 90 days. A Coast Guard license is also accepted.
Re: Sailing on the NJ shore
Thanks for all the great suggestions.
You will really enjoy Barnegat Bay. I kept my 28 Islander there for almost 8 years while I live in Ocean City NJ as it has consisitant winds and lots of great places to sail.
I would look to keep the boat just south of Toms River Bridge going over to the Island. We stayed at Dillons Creek, but there are lots of ramps, marinas up the Toms River.
Dont let th PB traffic bother you as there is plenty of room and depth as you come out the Toms River and head south. You have at least a 14 mile run down to Forked River
which is wide open and lots of room east to West for whart you are sailing. Anchor out some day/ night at Tices shoal and swim accrooos to the Island Beach State Park and hang out on the beach. We anchor behind Barnegat Light House on our trip to new England from the Chesapeake every year.
The prevailing winds are S- SE in the summer when the onshore ocean breeze kicks in so it is usally cool temperate in the afternoons. If you jkeep your boat north like Toms River you ride home to port will ususally be a fast broad reach. North of the Toms River there is sailing up through Silver bay and Meteedaconk, buit the current inthe canal will run quick enough to overpower your boat I beleive if you are running opposed to it.
Toms River and Barnegat Bay is an awesome place to keep a boat of your size and there is plenty of room.

NOAA charts, VHF radio, GPS/depth finder, horn --- what all should I be looking at?
As for safety equipment, start with what you legally needed and should have had on the lake. Lake or salt water, makes no difference. Pennsylvania requirements mirror Federal requirements.
I know you said that you'll trailer your boat to New Jersey, but things change so keep in mind should you decide to keep your boat in New Jersey longer than 90 days and register it there, you must have a New Jersey boating safety certificate. They no longer have reciprocal agreements with any other state and do not accept the online courses.
Good luck with your new sailing grounds.

IUP FOOTBALL: Hawks close spring drills with third scrimmage
His players might be happy that spring drills are over, but IUP football coach Curt Cignetti could use a few more Aprils before he feels comfortable.
The Crimson Hawks capped their annual set of spring practices Friday night with their third intrasquad scrimmage of the month. The 92-play scrimmage lasted a little more than an hour at Miller Stadium, and it was used as a showcase to display the improvements the team has made this month.
There were plenty of highlights that Cignetti was pleased to see, but he couldn't help but wish things weren't over just yet. As it stands, the team won't reconvene until August, when preseason camp opens.
"I really think the kids have given tremendous effort for 12 practices now," Cignetti summarized. "Last season, we only got in eight practices and we didn't really get in a scrimmage. This year, we got in 12 practices and three scrimmages, and the kids have tried hard. I give them credit: They've developed good team unity and a good work ethic. This team has been together and we've gotten better every practice. It isn't perfect yet; we still have a lot of work to do. There were a lot of mistakes. There's a lot we can clean up."
That said, this scrimmage was much cleaner than the one a week ago, when the team committed too many penalties and turnovers for Cignetti's liking. This time, there were a few mental errors that had the coaching staff shaking its collective heads, but there were also some stellar plays to balance them out.
Chief among them was the play of the quarterbacks. Sophomore Logan Weaver, the Indiana High graduate who has worked with the first-team offense, unofficially completed 16 of 21 attempts for 221 yards and a touchdown, which was a perfect 50-yard strike to Drew Carswell on a play-action pass.
Weaver was accurate in his throws, but he faced steady pressure throughout the scrimmage from the first-team defense. He was sacked three times, by Jordan Batts, Alexander Berdahl and Jeff Palmer.
Freshman Eddie Stockett, working with the second-team offense, also showed improvement, with 13 completions in 26 attempts for 129 yards and a touchdown, a 4-yarder to Salath Williams. Stockett also showed his athleticism by scrambling for 36 yards on six runs.
"Logan is more consistent right now than Eddie is," Cignetti said. "He probably understands the offense better and probably functions a little bit more consistently than Eddie. Eddie might be a little bit more capable of the big play, but Eddie, right now will make two good plays and a mistake or three good plays and two mistakes. But he's getting better and he's going to be a really good player."
Weaver and Stockett combined for 29 completions to 13 receivers, led by Carswell, who caught five passes for 97 yards and the long touchdown. Trey Campman added four catches for 32 yards, walk-on receiver Manny Mendez had three catches for 24 yards, and sophomore tight end Kevin Edwards hauled in three catches for 41 yards.
As for the running game, tailbacks Izzy Green and Darrian Bradley shouldered the load, with Green gaining 36 yards on 12 carries and Bradley totaling 16 yards on nine carries. But the backs were running behind a rebuilt offensive line that has been limited in spring ball because of injuries — so much so that the only two healthy guards on the roster, Ethan Cooper and Dan Charmo, had to play every snap for both teams, 92 in all.
On defense, the Crimson Hawks forced only one turnover, and it came on the final play of the scrimmage, when Jay Watkins scooped up a fumble after a catch by Green. Otherwise, the defense had a solid effort against the first-team offense.
All in all, Cignetti was pleased with what he saw on the field. He just wished there was more to come.
"I really like the attitude the guys have come out with every day," he said. "They come out and go about their business and do their work. It's not always perfect, and there are always correctable things. But this team has a real work ethic. … (But) we've got to become more consistent. We have to raise the bar and play at a high level and we have to do it with consistency. But I'm really pleased with the spring. I really am."
NOTES: Kicker Brett Ullman was 2-for-2 on extra points and 2-for-4 on field goals. He made kicks of 35 and 32 yards and missed from 38 (blocked) and 46 yards (wide left). … Offensive lineman Tony Morgante and defensive end Jordan Diven did not play because of injuries, and wide receiver Sean McVay missed the scrimmage due to an illness. … Punter Matt Spegal averaged 33.3 yards on three kicks.

Featuring D. Scott Broyles
October 16, 2012
October 16, 2012
On October 10, 2012, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Moncrieffe v. Holder. The question in this case is whether a conviction under state law that encompasses--but is not limited to--distributing marijuana without remuneration constitutes an "aggravated felony" for purposes of deportation under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
To discuss the case, we have Scott Broyles, who is an Assistant Professor at Charlotte School of Law.

Well, there is always gunsamerica and gun broker, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to go w/ such an item. Maybe someone else will have an idea
I took my Remington Rand into my dealer today to get his thoughts on having some work done to it. He told me not to touch it and looked it up in the blue book and its worth 4000 dollars. Here I thought it was only worth 500 dollars. Whats the best way to sell something like this? I have the original grips for it and if I got good money for it I would get a nice new 1911 and add some new toys for the collection. Any thoughts on how I should sell it please let me know?
Well, there is always gunsamerica and gun broker, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to go w/ such an item. Maybe someone else will have an idea
Hell....I'd keep it.....The only way you will get your money out of it is to sell it to another collector. Any other way..it will not sell for what it is worth....!!
please if you sell it find a historical collector so it will be taken care of. that is a piece of history and should be sold that way as a piece of history
I'm not the type of collector to keep something that I should not shoot. I would like to sell it to someone who is really into that type of firearm. I bought it at a tag sale in the early 80's for 50 dollars. It had never been fired and I have put 1000 through it. I lost the box and wax paper it came in and my dealer said that would be worth around 300. Thanks for the input.
By all means look at comparable pistols on Auction Arms, Guns America, 1911.com(??) for valuation. I too sold a military surplus 1911 because I wanted to shoot and not store it. Good Luck
Any progress w/ trying to sell it?
Spacedoggy go over on the Colt gun site and talk to them guys. They are a bunch of hard core collectors .
http://www.coltforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php.I would say they would be very interrested in it. Of course they will act real coy about it and these cats got the jack. Good Luck!!!

The URL doesn't work, but I guess U can just shorten it to the colt forum part, and then he can find it...
It's worth $4,000 if it is in excellent original condition with all correct (original) parts. No barrel swaps or anything like that.
Try this link:
+1. Ya got a sweetie. Keep it. Pass it to your children.Originally Posted by 1911driver
Pick up a copy of Gun List. There's hundreds of dealers listed in there; I'm sure you could easily find some specializing in collectible 1911's and contact them. If not, put a "For Sale" ad there - the ads don't cost much and reach the entire country.
I just inherited 3 1911 remington Rands all say property of u.s. goverment, and a crazy looking Hi standard supermatic .22 with some kind of special barrel and grip, I really should not be the owner of these guns a collector needs them, I also got a sweet little colt 32 automatic 1897 patent, I have no idea what there worth
It is a classic and a piece of American history. Do not sell it! My opinion is... Keep it, perhaps shoot it some and enjoy it while you are alive. Will it to whom you will and let them decide. No modern, spiffed up 1911 could possibly give you the pleasure and thrill of that old weapon.

More owners are going au naturel, bringing the beauty and durability of real stone into their homes.
In an era when the home is as much sanctuary as it is shelter, there's something undeniable about the classic beauty of natural stone. Nothing is more durable, impressive or easier to maintain. And with plentiful resources and reasonable pricing, what was once considered a building material for the elite is rolling its way into homes like never before.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—and there's a lot to see with natural stone. Here are the basic varieties used in residences today:
Granite ($)The comeback king of natural stones, granite has become the popular, all-purpose choice for those seeking a sleek, sophisticated look. When it comes to durability, granite is indeed rock solid. It doesn't scratch or chip and it's practically indestructible. Sold as blocks, slabs and tiles, granite can be used for everything from countertops and showers to floors and walls.
Limestone ($$$$$)Every weathered limestone is one of a kind; each is rough, fractured and marked in its own striking way. Although somewhat absorbent, limestone's pores can easily be filled with grout—lending an Old World look and added durability. Available in tile, slabs, cut-to-size pavements and flags, limestone is ideal for flagstone patios, sills and flooring.
Travertine ($$$$$)Soft and charming, travertine's wide range of creamy neutrals and patterns are a designer's dream. "In the past, people used travertine for fireplaces and mantels," says PetraSlate's Jamie Helmer. But with its deeper range of colors, it's perfect for a sleek, symmetrical floor."
Marble ($$$$$)What is actually metamorphosed limestone or dolomite, marble's elegant beauty often comes with a hefty price tag. Blocks, slabs and tiles are perfect for most all interior and exterior applications including roofing, flooring, sills, railings and countertops. Luckily, this gorgeous stone needs little maintenance, but some stains (makeup, nail polish) can be irreversible.
Slate ($)Slate is actually more susceptible to breakage than most people think. It's particularly is sensitive to extreme heat and frost. In purple, blue, black, gold, copper and silver, slate has always been used in roofing, shingles and ceilings. Thanks to an expanded color palette and resistance to water and staining, it's also making an appearance in backsplashes, showers and floors.
Sandstone ($$$)Sandstone is available in tile, slabs and blocks—and it's so versatile, uses are limited only by the imagination (think roofing, flooring and wall-cladding, just to name a few). Whether you're dealing with an interior or exterior application, it's best to lay sandstone flat, just as it was formed at the bottom of a river, lake or ocean.
Soapstone ($$$$$)Soapstone is easily carved, making it a truly artistic medium. But it's also dense, nonporous and impervious to staining, making it architecturally sound. These days, you'll find it everywhere, from sinks to fireplaces to countertops. It's heat resistant and can take a screaming-hot cookie pan without batting an eye. Read the full story in the December 2005 issue of Log Home Design.

just thought Id say hi seeing as Im new here.
I have been keeping fish for about 20 years now and concentrating on planted tanks for the last 7.
Welcome to the board. 7 years aquatic plant keeping. Cool. Your experience will be much appreciated here. Stick around!!!:cool:
I hope to stick around as it seems like a nice place here.
hopefully some of the problems I have dealt with in that time will help some one experiencing the same thing.
*edit*I just noticed that Im classed as an algae grower.....how true :hehe: *edit*
I was sooo happy when I found this board, it was exactly what I was looking for! I'm sure your experience will be an asset to this board!
It seems very friendly here so I'll stick around.
members here seem to have plenty of original Ideas which I like as I get fed up with people being sheep and following the crowd.
hopefully I will be able to help
You'll definitely like it here. The site is still young (only a few months old) but already has a decent membership. Plants take experience and new members can really benefit from the experience of enthusiasts such as yourself.
One thing for sure that you've already established is that you don't need to stick with "common" planted tank fish. Those apistos are just gorgeous in your planted tanks. I'm having a HECK of a time trying to find a breeder in my area, though!
the apistos currently have one brood about 5 weeks old and another brood which hatched out about 2 days ago If I was nearby you could have a pair.
they are also called cockatoo cichlids if that helps

text: Jun 14, 2011 - I bought this at the recommendation of my stylist whom I normally trust. This was so bad, I don't think I'll ever try another Deva product because of my experience. If I didn't live really far from my salon, I would have returned it. I don't know how a conditioner can make my hair feel less moisturized after use. It's a mystery for the ages. In short, total crap. Overpriced crap, at that.

Leonardo DiCaprio Donates $61,000 to GLAAD
Proving that his support for LGTB rights isn't just for show, Leonardo DiCaprio donated a total of $61,000 at the GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday (April 20).
The "Great Gatsby" star first forked over $25,000 in the pledge drive conducted by Wilson Cruz before shelling out for a few auctions.
In the live auction, the 38-year-old actor won a $22,000 African safari from Micato Safaris, while the silent auction induced a $14,000 winning bid for a photo of Marilyn Monroe from the Andrew Weiss gallery in L.A.
Meanwhile, Leo is planning his own "11th Hour Auction" on May 13th to benefit the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which aims to protect the earth's natural resources.

Each tree and plant is guaranteed to grow, or we'll replace it within one year of shipment.
Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.
Natural root (also called bare root) trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant in the spring and fall seasons. We dip the roots in a hydrating gel to keep them moist during shipping.
There are a number of advantages to natural root trees:
The Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University has an interesting article about the benefits of planting natural root trees. Look for the PDF entitled Creating the Urban Forest: The Bare Root Method
Potted (also called containerized) trees come in 4" containers.

The Division I All-Americans will be announced on Thursday morning, with the Division I special awards arriving on Friday morning.
(Note: While the USILA chose the honorees, Inside Lacrosse staff wrote their 'resumes' for this article)
Chris DeLuca
SUNY Cortland
Resume: The SUNYAC Player of the Year helped guide the Red Dragons to the NCAA semifinals with all-around excellence at the midfield, scoring 37 goals and adding 15 assists as the team's third-highest scorer (in both goals and points behind Brian Krol and Mike Tota) while also serving as an outstanding face-off midfielder. At the X, DeLuca went 133-for-197 (68%) and gobbled up a team-best 84 groundballs.
Matt Chadderdon
LeMoyne College
Resume: The Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year, Chadderdon has been everywhere for the Dolphins on their trek to the NCAA finals, leading the team in goals (35) and points (42) while providing two-way midfield support (28GBs, 7CT) for coach Dan Sheehan. His best game of the season came in early March against Sunday's NCAA finals opponent Limestone, when Chadderdon tallied five of his team's goals in an 8-5 victory over the Saints.
Sam Bradman
Salisbury University
Resume: The 16th consecutive Sea Gulls player to earn the Capital Athletic Conference's Player of the Year honor, Bradman leads the NCAA finalists in goals (58) and points (85), scoring on over 40% of the shots he's taken in 2010. The sophomore has also shown he can do work on the other side of the midfield line, gathering 42 groundballs and 24 caused turnovers, tied for third best on his team.
Joseph Biondolillo
Dowling College
Resume: The reigning Division II LSM of the Year, Biondolillo didn't dissapoint in his senior season, helping lead the Golden Lions to the NCAA semifinals with three goals and 11 assists (the latter being the third-highest total on Dowling's roster) in addition to 16 caused turnovers and 48 groundballs. After an early March lost to Mercyhurst, Dowling went on an 11-game win streak prior to the one-goal NCAA semifinals loss to C.W. Post, and Biondolillo was the engine that drove the team.
Steve Simmons
Roanoke College
Resume: An All-American for the second consecutive season, Simmons, a senior, was a second team selection last year and earned first-team honors after leading Roanoke as a captain and picking up 85 ground balls, which ranked fourth in the ODAC. Simmons is also on the All-ODAC team for the third time, earning first-team honors for the second straight year after being named an honorable mention selection in 2008. He finishes his career ranked sixth on Roanoke's all-time groundballs list, picking up 284 in his four seasons.
Jack Harmatuk
LeMoyne College
Resume: The one-time Syracuse recruit has settled in quite nicely with the Dolphins, earning first-team All-America honors in both seasons for coach Dan Sheehan and now earning the attackman of the year honors after an outstanding 30 goal, 10 assist campaign. Providing a formidable 1-2 offensive punsh with midfielder Matt Chadderdon, Harmatuk also scooped 24 groundballs as an attackman.
Steve Kazimer
Stevenson University
Resume: Always a potent threat with the ball, Kazimer finishes his career as one of the best attackmen to come through the Stevenson program. Also the 2009 Division III Attackman of the Year, Kazimer was an All-America selection in all three of his seasons at Stevenson, earning first-team honors for the past two seasons. This year he led the Mustangs to the Division III semifinals, setting a school record with 95 points (46 goals and 49 assists) and ending his college career ranked second in Stevenson history with 247 points and 131 assists.
Michael Cama
C. W. Post College
Resume: A terror for opposing coaches in the face-off game, Cama defended his 2009 Speciality Player of the Year award and earned a third-straight All-America selection (and second straight first-team nod) with a gaudy 71% number at the X and 184 groundballs this spring. Cama also had five points on the season, scoring three goals and assisting two others.
Tom Burke
SUNY Cortland
Resume: A true do-it-all midfielder for the Red Dragons, Burke was named a first team All-American as a short stick specialist. Burke helped Cortland to a SUNYAC title and an appearance in the Division III semifinals, finishing the season with 23 goals and 17 assists and second on the team in both ground balls (81) and caused turnovers (18).
Cory Spinale
Merrimack College
Resume: Despite an outstanding career for the Warriors, Spinale had never even been first-team All-Northeast 10 until this spring, perenially shut out of the top spot by Le Moyne All-American Doug McIver. But the senior would not be denied this spring, putting up an outstanding 6.44 goals-against average and stopping 64% of the shots he saw to lead Merrimack to a 13-3 mark highlighted by an upset of Le Moyne in the league championship game (Spinale had 12 saves in the OT win).
Dennis Costanza
SUNY Geneseo
Resume: Costanza earned first-team All-America honors after posting an 8.03 goals against average and a .609 save percentage in leading Geneseo to the SUNYAC title game. Costanza was also a first team All-SUNYAC selection.
Drew Bezek
LeMoyne College
Resume: The rock of Le Moyne's outstanding defense (5.85 goals allowed per game), Bezek quieted those that thought the Dolphins would be easier to score on after Kelly Award winner Doug McIver graduated and earned his second straight Schmeisser award for the NCAA finalists. Though his stats aren't flashy for a close defender (28 GBs, 15 caused turnovers), Bezek is a shutdown defender and the vocal leader of the back end of the Dolphins field.
Sam Love
Roanoke College
Resume: A strong takeaway defenseman often tasked with shutting down some of the best attackmen in Division III, Love garnered All-America honors for the second straight season. He picked up 241 groundballs and found his way onto the score sheet, tallying two goals and three assists in earning a second straight First Team All-ODAC nod.
