With lingering visions of last winter's 600 inches of snow, Eaglecrest Ski Area launched the 2012-13 season on Saturday, Dec. 1. Local Juneau skiers and riders ancy for the lifts to turn raced to the slopes. This winter, it's not just the locals who can get benefits at Eaglecrest, but visitors, too.
The ski area fired up the Porcupine Chairlift with Muskeg and Dolly Varden trails open for riding. Machine-made snow complimented natural snow to allow the start of the season, but no one seemed to mind since boards were underfoot once again.
Juneau locals have always gotten good deals for skiing in low season pass rates. But this winter, visitors to the area can get discounted lift tickets when flying Alaska Airlines to Juneau. The ski area is giving $20 off an all-day lift ticket for those who present their Alaska Airlines Boarding Pass at the ticket window.
Alaska Air visitors have five days after flying in to Juneau to redeem the discount. Only one discounted lift ticket is allowed per boarding pass, and a valid ID that matches the boarding pass must be presented at the ticket window, too.
The ski area plans to operate Fridays through Sundays, conditions permitting, until mid-December when the normal Thursday through Monday schedule starts. The ski area also runs lifts for holidays, except Christmas day, and school vacations. The Alaska Air discount can be used any day the ski area is open through April 14, 2013.
Eaglecrest embarked on several upgrades in the off-season this year. Crews swapped out the center-pole chairs on mid-mountain Black Bear Lift for new chairs with outside poles, upgraded Hooter's electrical systems, and performed other slope maintenance projects.
Eaglecrest sits 12 miles from downtown Juneau. The ski area runs four chairlifts and a tubing hill.

One in court for Arcata stabbing death; Two out of jail
EUREKA- Two of the three suspects in the Arcata stabbing death of a 50 year-old-man have been released from jail. Nicholas Benjamin Stoiber and Sophie Buttercup Rocheleau have been released and are charged with Assault with intent to do great bodily harm by the District Attorney's office.
Stoiber was released Thursday under supervised release and appeared in court the same day with friends and short hair. Rocheleau is out on bond after being released from jail on Dec. 7. Both were arrested by the Arcata Police Department after coming in for questioning on Dec. 4. The trio is set to appear in court on Dec.19 for the preliminary hearing.
Juan Ferrer is still in custody for allegedly stabbing Douglas Allen Anderson-Jordet in the heart on Nov. 25. All three were arrested and originally charged for the Homicide by Arcata Police, however, the District Attorney's office is only charging Ferrer for the Homicide. Deputy District Attorney Elan Firpo said it is believed Anderson-Jordet died from being stabbed and was alive while Stoiber and Rocheleau were allegedly kicking him.
Anderson-Jordet was found unresponsive by police at 1:25 a.m. on the ground at the intersection of 12th and H Street. He was transported to Mad River Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy showed Anderson-Jordet had died from a single stab wound to the heart.
Arcata Police were able to identify the three arrested in video surveillance from a business walking near the Arcata Plaza close to the time of Anderson-Jordet's death. A tip came into police that someone had heard a fight with multiple people involved. It is believed by police that a fight broke out between the three arrested and the 50 year-old that eventually led to a stabbing.

No Connection Seen Between Dementia, Common Eye Disease
Latest Alzheimers News
FRIDAY, Nov. 15, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- No link seems to exist between the common eye condition known as age-related macular degeneration and either dementia or Alzheimer's disease, a large new study shows.
Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss among people aged 50 and older, according to the U.S. National Eye Institute. The condition leads to damage to the macula, which is a small spot near the center of the retina. The macula is needed for sharp central vision, which allows people to see objects straight ahead of them.
Dementia, Alzheimer's disease and age-related macular degeneration are all strongly associated with aging. These conditions share risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. However, the genetic risk factors for the eye condition and Alzheimer's or other dementia seem to be different, according to study background information.
British researchers examined whether people with age-related macular degeneration were more likely to develop dementia/Alzheimer's or vice versa. The study included nearly 66,000 patients with the vision condition, more than 168,000 patients with Alzheimer's or other dementia, and more than 7.7 million people in a comparison group.
The results showed that people with macular degeneration condition did not have an increased risk of Alzheimer's or other dementia. The report is published online Nov. 14 in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology.
However, patients with dementia appeared to be less likely to receive treatment for their macular degeneration. Several factors may contribute to this. One might be that people with dementia are less likely to get eye exams, the researchers said in a journal news release.
"These data provide evidence that there is no positive association between [age-related macular degeneration] and dementia or [Alzheimer's disease]," wrote Tiarnan Keenan, of the University of Manchester, and colleagues.
"However, people with dementia in England are substantially less likely to undergo treatment for [the vision condition] than those without dementia," they added. "Potential barriers to care for these vulnerable individuals need to be examined and addressed in the near future."

Chanel Fall 2011
Steam heat rose from the sultry volcanic lava rocks bounded by the Chanel boardwalk and it was obvious, even before the twin drawbridges at either end of the runway slammed open to reveal two Amazonian armies, that we were very far from the romantic French garden imagined by Karl Lagerfeld last season.
By contrast, this collection (set to a sound track of The Cure's aching eighties ballads) was bathed in dark, brooding shadows, from a raven-haired Stella Tennant in a short knitted cape that sparkled like volcanic dust, beaten-up pants as lean as leggings, and mannish biker boots, to the Rue Cambon version of a battered all-in-one flying suit worn by Lagerfeld muse Baptiste Giabiconi to close the show.
In keeping with the industrial look of the new Chanel bag—on a thick, thick chain with a clasp like the lock on an Art Deco safe—this was Chanel with edge; many of these stealth chic looks would have passed unnoticed on a rainy day in Camden Town, or while vintage shopping in Williamsburg. Pants were tucked into thick ankle-warmers that gave them the effect of sweats, or rolled up, urchin style, over bare ankles and chunky flat boots—or a perverse take on the classic sixties Chanel pump with a low heel that suddenly looked frumpy-fabulous. The colors were as somber as an Ibsen drama—every tone of black, every shade of gray, and for light relief the deep green of a darkling forest, or elk's-blood red.
Lagerfeld's trompe l'oeil "layered" jackets married a shrunken version of the classic Chanel tweedy cardigan over a boyfriend jacket. His shearling versions of that Coco classic looked cozy enough for a dog sled ride across the freezing tundra—or another Manhattan winter.
A brace of thickly knitted Scandinavian evening dresses had backs carved out like twenties swimsuits, and some short Baby Doll dresses and windswept gowns in textural mixes that evoked a thunderous sky looked like the sort of things that doomed children or heroines in an especially Grimm fairy tale might wear, but Lagerfeld's most relentless evening message was the all-in-one jumpsuit. Gleaming in ebony sequins like those lava rocks, fragile in gleaming Lurex lace, and tough in glossy black nylon quilted like the classic Chanel purse, these powerful looks are not for the faint of heart.

New Report Presents Strategies to Close Disparities
January 07, 2011 | The St. Louis American | Link to article
The 2025 Campaign for Black Men and Boys, a broad coalition of national and local organizations, recently released a new report with recommendations aimed at drastically altering life outcomes for black men and boys.
We Dream A World: The 2025 Vision for Black Men and Boys identifies concrete policy solutions to close educational achievement gaps, ensure workforce success, reduce health disparities, improve conditions for low-income fathers and improve the overall well being of black men, their families, and communities.
"It's old hat to talk about how too many of our young black men don't live up to their potential," said Rhonda Tsoi-A-Fatt, We Dream A World author and senior policy analyst at the Center for the Law and Social Policy (CLASP).
"The state of black men in the United States calls for bold and immediate action. The status quo won't do. We need fresh ideas, political will at all levels, and a clear vision forward to ensure that we don't lose yet another generation of young black men who could contribute to the economic and social well-being of our country."
The We Dream A World vision is the culmination of five years of research and dialogue aimed at taking a candid look at outcomes and conditions for black men and boys and what it will take to improve their lives.
The seeds of the project and the 2025 Campaign were planted when a group of thought-leaders met to discuss the many challenges facing black males. By 2007 the campaign had cemented its grand vision - ensuring that by the time black boys born in 2007 turn 18 (in 2025), the nation's policies and social mores will have changed drastically enough that collectively they will fare far better than today's young black men.
With the release of the report, the campaign has articulated its vision and defined concrete goals to achieve its vision.
"This work requires an unprecedented level of collaboration and alignment of resources. Our window of opportunity is rapidly closing and the needs of young people are painfully urgent," says Greg Hodge of Community Development Associates. "
Currently, less than half of black male students graduate from high school on time and only 11 percent complete a bachelor's degree. In June of this year, the unemployment rate for black men was 17.4 percent - nearly double the rate for their white counterparts. And among black males with a bachelor's degree, only 43 percent have a job that pays at least $14.51 per hour, or enough to put them significantly above the federal poverty level if they have to support a family of four.
We Dream A World's strategy focuses on five areas: education; employment and wealth; health; fatherhood and families; and justice, rights, responsibilities and opportunities.

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned for life from the NBA and fined 2.5million US dollars after being found guilty of making racist comments on tape.
The 80-year-old had found himself at the centre of huge controversy in the USA after American network TMZ had broadcast Sterling apparently telling a girlfriend not to bring black people to the team's games.
His comments had led to Clippers players making a silent protest ahead of their NBA Western Conference play-off series defeat to the Golden State Warriors on Sunday evening, while financial backers have been withdrawing their support for the club.
The NBA has taken a dim view of the furore and a statement on the league's Twitter account revealed Sterling had "violated league rules through his expressions of offensive and hurtful views, the impact of which has been widely felt throughout the league".
He is therefore banned from any association with the Clippers or the NBA, meaning he may not be allowed to attend any games or practice sessions.
The sanction also means Sterling may not "be present at any Clippers office or facility, or participate in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team".
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said at a news conference: " The views expressed by Mr Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. That they came from an NBA owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage.
"Sentiments of this kind are contrary to the principles of inclusion and respect that form the foundation of our diverse, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic league.
"I am personally distraught that the views expressed by Mr Sterling came from within an institution that has historically taken such a leadership role in matters of race relations, and caused current and former players, coaches, fans and partners of the NBA to question their very association with the league.
"To them - and pioneers of the game, like Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper, Sweetwater Clifton, the great Bill Russell and particularly Magic Johnson - I apologise."
Silver will urge the NBA's governors to force Sterling to sell the Clippers, and the news was hailed by several prominent figures.
"Commissioner Silver showed great leadership in banning LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life," said NBA great Magic Johnson on Twitter.
"Current and former NBA players now know that in Commissioner Adam Silver we have a great leader leading our league."
Miami Heat star man LeBron James said on the social networking site: "Commissioner Silver thank you for protecting our beautiful and powerful league!! Great leader!! #BiggerThanBasketball #StriveForGreatness."
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban added: "I agree 100% with Commissioner Silvers findings and the actions taken against Donald Sterling."

Someone who rapes at a college may have many bystanders around him....
Dear Engaged Bystander: I usually think that any coverage of sexual violence is helpful when it generates some discussion. And this most recent episode of Law and Order SVU has done just that. If you have not see the great comments by the Safe Date Project definitely read their very comprehensive overview of the issue.
First, I agree with ALL of their insights and especially on coining the term "Grey Rape." We know that how you frame the issue often leads the audience to one conclusion or another. In this case, they are framing rape as a black and white issue and claiming that when both students are drunk, it is unclear – or "grey". The show did at least discuss the fact that when a woman is drunk, she cannot consent so that it is, by definition rape. But they cloud this point of view by having the detective and his wife wonder out loud about whether they would have gotten together if they were not drunk that first night. Again, what message is that sending out? That it really is ok if you marry her later on…
Second, I am fixated on a part of the show that no one has discussed. The rapist is pictured as handsome, articulate, smart and popular. Yet, he seems to have no connections outside of the women he intends to prey upon. The only figure in his life is the attorney he hired to defend himself. For someone who is handsome, articulate, smart and popular, it just does not make sense. Where are his family who could confront him about his behaviors. Where are his friends who could create a "buddy" for him to ensure that he does stay safe and that the young women at his college stay safe. He is never pictured talking with a friend or roommate or calling on an elderly relative or a mentor or any number of people who would have been able to step in.
In this particular story, friends of the victims do say something. But what about the friends of the alleged rapist? If we want to prevent sexual violence BEFORE it is perpetrated, we need to look more closely at the people who are at risk to sexually abuse. These are not potential perpetrators – they are people we care about who are at risk for hurting someone else. As friends or family, it Is our business to do something. This is where we can be most effective as engaged bystanders. And when we do take that stance, we begin to ask very different questions of the people we love. Yet in this show, no one was there…
Maybe in the next season they will go into more depth about this perspective. In the meantime, if this one show does generate discussion then maybe we can move towards a more enlightening show next year.

This project provides access to information on the prevention and response to sexual violence during and after disasters, relief funds and planning tools.
Sexual violence often increases in disasters. After a disaster, housing may be destroyed and people may not have jobs to go to. Police officers and the legal system have many things to respond to. Disasters take away community resources. In these situations, it's easier for a person to perpetrate sexual violence. It also puts people at greater risk of experiencing sexual violence. People who tend to have less social power, like older adults, people with disabilities, or people struggling with poverty, face even higher risk for violence during a disaster.
The NSVRC provides information and resources to assist organizations and communities in preventing and responding to sexual violence during and after disasters. Learn more below about the NSVRC's publications and online resources, and the Relief Fund for Sexual Assault Victims.
This collection includes online resources related to gender-based violence in disasters, disaster preparedness, disaster recovery, and forensic nursing in disasters.
The risk of violence, including sexual violence, increases during and after a disaster.
Support relief funds for sexual assault victims, advocacy programs, and communities affected by disasters.

What is a TLD? (Top Level Domain)
The term TLD stands for Top Level Domain, and refers to the last portion of a domain name. For example, the domain name EXAMPLE.COM is part of the .COM Top Level Domain and the domain EXAMPLE.ORG is part of the .ORG Top Level Domain.
Different TLDs are often separate from each other in certain ways, such as the case of Name Servers. The Name Server NS1.EXAMPLE.COM can be used with all .COM domains, however in order to use it on a .ORG domain, the .COM Name Server must first be added to the .ORG TLD by your Domain Provider if it has not been done before.

When I first saw the picture of this recipe from Weber's Charcoal Grilling, I thought it was a t-bone beef steak. When I saw the recipe title of Pork T-bone with Whiskey BBQ Sauce I was even more intrigued. I love recipes that have a complimentary BBQ sauce recipe included. This was the lunch for me and the guys working on the grill gazebo on Thursday. It marked my first use of the half moon raised grid for the Egg, which allows you to do direct and indirect cooking at the same time. It was also my first high heat pork chop (550 degrees) on the Egg. I'll let the pictures take over from here. At the very bottom are Thursday's progress pictures on my grill gazebo. All that is left for today is some metal drip edge and shingling the roof and my grills can move into their new home. To say I am excited is an understatement.
The Whiskey BBQ Sauce used: Dijon mustard, whiskey, garlic powder, sauce Americain, steak sauce & light brown sugar.
The finished sauce. It had a really nice flavor which started off as an initial impression of sweet and then got tangy the longer it was in your mouth. It was perfect for this pork.
The spice rub used: Ground cloves, cayenne pepper, cumin, minced onions, garlic powder, sweet paprika, light brown sugar, kosher salt & black pepper.
The finished rub.
I've got some hickory chips soaking in the SR Wood Chip Soaker.
Here are the 1 1/4" thick bone-in loin chops.
The chops get rubbed and sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Here the rubbed chops have just gone on the grill for 8 minutes of direct grilling at 550 degrees.
The chops are done direct grilling and now go on the half moon raised grid for another 10 minutes or so to reach 140 degrees internal.
The chops measure 140 degrees internal and it is time to take them off and give them a 5 minute rest. The half moon raised grid did it's job well. The only thing I don't like is the relatively small size of the half moon grid. I couldn't have grilled a 4th chop if I had needed to.
Here is the tasty Whiskey BBQ sauce.
Besides the BBQ sauce the chops were served with some Bush Grillin' Beans.
The finished chops.
This was a really great recipe, everyone was still talking about this cook when they knocked off 4 hours later.
These chops had a narrow but bright pink smoke ring on the inside, they were slightly pink and the juices ran throughout the meat. Why am I describing this instead of showing it? Because it looked so good when I cut into it, that I began eating and forgot totake a picture. You'll have to trust me and I do have two witnesses.
The grill gazebo is starting to look just like the version in my CAD software. Friday the roof gets shingled and the grills move in.
I think the meals have reaped some extra benefits. I was going to supply the lumber, but one of the guys went and hand picked the lumber for best appearance. They also rounded off all of the edges of the 4x4 posts-something I left off my plans to keep the costs down.

ahmadamaj - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkthis keyboard NEEDS a wireless charging pad for the phone. it will sit perfectly in the space in the middle, and it will be extremely useful. Reply
Inteli - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkWhy not mod the keyboard to incorporate one? As you said, it has plenty of room! Reply
mikelanding - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkI am Kinesis Advantage user for almost 6 months. You should remap some keys to suit your typing style. If you want to reduce your pingky usage. You should remap Shift key to Thumb cluster. It will help reduce the load on pinky. Reply
Bas de Bakker - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkI've used one for over 12 years, first a PS/2 model, now a USB one. Never had any failure. I have it completely remapped, based on the Maltron layout. The 'E' is on a thumb key, other frequently used letters on the home row. I really love this keyboard.
An additional advantage is that it is completely impossible for anyone else to use my computer. Reply
Eascen - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkAppreciate the reviews -- as an aging programmer (I'm going to hit 30 this year), this is becoming far more of interest... Reply
krazyderek - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkalso a kinesis advantage user, after 2 years, my original (and expensive) ps/2 model started to experience random key repeats with even the slightest hit of the keys, i never could stomac the $70 repair fee plus shipping on such an expensive keyboard and ended up buying a used kinesis maxim on ebay instead and liked it a lot more.
I remapped the the space and return to the backspace and delete so that i could play first person shooters, and press space to accept dialogue boxes when my hand was on the mouse, and remap the alt key on the left side to swap it with the left ctrl key that way you can press the right ctrl, left alt and some key for shortcuts and use your pinky for the shift key if you have to Reply
cgunhouse - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI have the original model of the Kinesis Keyboard, about 20 years old, and when this started for me, I popped the keys and clean it up. Reply
kolepard - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkI would love to see a review of the DataHand (see http://www.datahand.com/). I've watched this keyboard for years, but have never been able to try one or even see on in person. Very spendy, but it really looks like it would be the best keyboard solution, and separating the halves of the keyboard is, I think, more ergonomic than having a fixed width, as neutral arm position does not land your hands as far internally rotated as they have to be using the other keyboards. Any chance of seeing a DataHand review in the future? Reply

JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkI believe part of the problem is our linking parsed the ). as part of the URL, so try this:
I recall reading about their stuff a long time ago, and it would definitely be interesting to try it, but at $1000 and currently out of stock I don't know if they'd be interested in sending anything -- or if they even could.
Actually, that setup reminds me a bit of watching my old college roommate play Quake with a SpaceOrb 3D controller; he hardly moved his hands and yet he would be cruising around the levels and could be me nine times out of ten. It looks like the idea with the DataHand is that you only have to "start" the movement towards where a key would be on a normal keyboard and it will register? I bet the learning curve is pretty tough on that one -- worse than the TECK or Kinesis even! Reply
ericbojo - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkMake it so.. i would love to hear a review about this! Reply
ericbojo - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkI would really like to see a video of the Datahand in action.. after this kinesis review is done.. datahand looks really interesting Reply
Mumrik - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkThere are plenty of in-action videos of the Datahand on Youtube. Or did you mean specifically by Jarred?
Here's one: http://youtu.be/_rzFqEqzhmA/ Reply
ericbojo - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkWhat i mean by "in action" is an actual un-biased review.. how good is it in real world situations? in games or whatever, a video doesn't do that. Reply
Chapbass - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkI use a Kinesis at work and at home, love it. As far as shift+ctrl+alt+s goes...the way I do it is pretty easy. left thumb covers both ctrl+alt, left pinky on shift, 3rd finger on S. Actually easier than on a standard keyboard, IMO. Reply
shinjin - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkBeen using a Kinesis contoured keyboard for about 17 years now. I replaced the first after 7 years and the second is still going strong (plus have an even newer one for my workplace). Another user already addressed the ctrl+alt complaint (use the left thumb for both). For work I recently switched over to a regular keyboard for about 6 months before discomfort set in. Switching back to the Kinesis solved that problem. I find it a fantastic keyboard and currently use it in Dvorak mode.
For me a significant measure of quality is the support received from the company. On the few occasions when I have needed it, Kinesis has provided great support.
That said, the keyboard does have a few flaws:
- row of 'soft' function keys are a little difficult to use
- not terribly great for gaming in general. If I can remap controls within a game, I will do so. But sometimes I just have to whip out a clunky old 101.
- cleaning. My home keyboard is white and has gotten a little dingy over the years. Rubbing alcohol cleans it up pretty well nice, but the ink on the body (not the keys) is alcohol-based so I have to take care or I smear/remove it.
Aside - in the TECK review you mention issues with the embedded keypad. The Kinesis also has an embedded keypad and it functions ok. For a while I did use a foot switch as a Keypad toggle, but the switch from 17 years ago is rather loud and annoying to use. I don't know if there have been any improvements since then. For the most part I just use the number unless I have lots of digits to input. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkI still don't buy into the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S being in any way easier to use on the Kinesis. With a standard 101 (or the TECK), I can do it with my left hand easily. With the Advantage, it's possible to do with the left hand, but it's far more awkward:
Pinky on the left SHIFT
Thumb goes to CTRL+ALT
Ring finger hits S
Anyway, it's not a huge knock, but it does require some mental and physical gyrations to hit some key combos that you might have ingrained into your memory. I'm basically working right now to remap my brain to using the thumbs for CTRL and ALT instead of my pinkies. Based on my experience with the TECK, it will take around two weeks to really get comfortable with that aspect of the Advantage. Reply
shinjin - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkMy mistake. I wasn't trying to convince you one way or the other about that specific key combo being easier. I thought it was a general complaint about hitting ctrl+alt at the same time.
For what it's worth, you may also discover some combos that work out to your advantage.
For my part, when I first picked it up it took me about a week to get comfortable with it. I probably wasn't up to my old WPM for a couple more after that. I remember well the early fumblings and typos. (Learning Dvorak had a similar learning curve.) Reply
zanon - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkJarred, it's really great to see you doing these reviews. I think a lot of technical users are very plugged into getting the most out of internal components from CPUs and GPUs to memory and storage, but neglect the human-interface aspect which defines how we actually interact with our machines. Investment in a good keyboard, mouse/trackball, screen, etc is well worth it, but there is a paucity of good comparative reviews and impressions and given the price and time investment that's unfortunate. Seeing it get a bit of coverage on AT is great.
One comment on this review though: I don't think remapping or macros is worth any extra credit (or price) whatsoever. Any good third party driver should be able to handle that (and not with any silly limits either) for any USB keyboard at all. The TECK (or MS Natural 4K or whatever) would be every bit as remappable and scriptable as this one or any other. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkThe macros are stored internally in the keyboard ROM, so if I unplug the keyboard and move it somewhere else, the macro is still there. The same goes for the key remappings I believe. It's not enough of a difference to make it the clear winner, but it is something extra. That said, I tried to create a macro to input my full signature:

It's actually too long (cutting off around the http part), apparently because the way they store the macros stores every key (including shift I think), and some keys may require more than one "character". So, 55 characters on the standard model might translate to more like 35-40 typical characters. I might find the macro functionality somewhat useful on occasion, but it's definitely not a necessity. Reply

In all seriousness, we live in the net age: between everything from cloud services to one's own server or even just a USB stick, something as simple as user driver preferences exist everywhere anyway. I guess if you're constantly using various random machines as a guest and still wanted to take the fancy keyboard then it'd be of some use, but that's such an ultra, ultra niche case that I still don't think it's worth anything extra. In fact even server syncing is likely over thinking it, with most people using such a device with their main system(s) and that's that. And as you mentioned there, dealing with it internally rather then with the full power of the host imposes significant limitations. I don't think someone who cares about macros at all would be satisfied with a downgrade vs cheap/free software that'll handle anything.
That's not to argue that all "extras" aren't without value though. The USB hub for example is something I miss in the Ergo 4K, and is good to see added, particularly in a premium product. Another nice extra (missing here, as with the TECK) is additional keys, I wouldn't mind a keyboard given a little credit for that too (and from that point of view it's a little disappointing the Kinesis doesn't take more advantage of all that empty space).
Overall though this is all great stuff and I'm looking forward to the review. One request if possible: I'm definitely curious about how well these keyboards would work from the perspective of working with the command line, programming, and general heavy use of combos in all applications. You do specifically call out here how some combos might be hard to hit, and in my own use there are definitely a lot of 2 and 3 metakey combos, though most aren't as bad as Save for Web (which I remapped long ago, Adobe what were you thinking). Purely looking at the layout some of those look harder to pull off, but only day-to-day usage impressions would make it clear. Reply
shinjin - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - link"I'm definitely curious about how well these keyboards would work from the perspective of working with the command line, programming, and general heavy use of combos in all applications"
If it helps, I'm a software developer and have had no problems using this keyboard with an assortment of languages (C/C++, Delphi, Java). Sure the curly braces/square brackets are in a slightly awkward location - right ring & pinky, 2 rows down from the home row. So I use an adaptation that works for me. I type both the open & close characters, then hit the left-arrow once to back-fill with whatever is needed. It ends up faster than typing them in the 'proper' order and has the side effect of reducing omission syntax errors. Granted, this isn't something uniquely suited to the Kinesis, but does feel oddly awkward to me when I use it with a regular keyboard.
As for the command line, no problems there either. Some might argue that it has some conveniences, such as using ALT+LEFT ARROW (or RIGHT ARROW) to 'jump' between words on the command line. The arrow keys are built into the key-wells, meaning you don't have to move a hand over to the separate arrow keys that a standard keyboard would have.
Unfortunately, the left/right arrows are in the left key-well and the up/down are in the right key-well. That takes some getting used to. Reply
shinjin - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI rarely use the macro functionality. Software typically implements it better.
One key remap that I tend to set up is mapping Insert to the | (pipe) key in the left key-well. Reply
olyar15 - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI've only had my Advantage for about a month, and am still getting used to it, but I do like the comfort and layout. It is also a decent gaming keyboard, provided that you can remap all or most of the commands to one bank. Otherwise, it gets awkward. I also like the foot pedals. However, there are a couple of gripes with this keyboard. First, given the cost, I would have expected better build quality and materials. The shell feels a bit cheap. However, the biggest problem I have is that my BIOS doesn't recognize the keyboard. I need to use another keyboard for that. Strange. Works fine once I get into windows. Reply
cgunhouse - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI have the original release model of this keyboard, close to 20 years old, since I bought the keyboard for a hand issue that was short term I have been able to use both it and a standard. I found that my brain just knows what keyboard it is using, kinesis or standard, in fact it isn't until I start thinking about it that I have problems. The Ctrl and Alt keys, not a problem. I am faster on the kinesis, less unnecessary hand movements. Reply
kenyee - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkI've had this for a long time too...since I had tendonitis in my wrist and it's helped immensely.
One thing to note is that the escape key eventually wears out...pretty annoying, but it's only $10 to get a replacement and then some minor soldering glueing inside.
I had a PS/2 one that ended up w/ that issue and the repeating keys problem when I flexed the cable in the back...sent it off for refurb and got a nice new top back (bottom of shell was old). USB one is getting along fine w/ the R and N keys slowly being rubbed off. Apparently the labels are stuck on because it's a lot less expensive :-( Reply
kenyee - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkp.s., I'd like to see a DataHand review too. I looked into that when I had my wrist issues and ruled it out for being too expensive and quirky. People who use it seem to love it though... Reply
hrbngr - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkJarred,
I have multiple versions of these keyboards (USB and PS/2). I'm not sure if you mentioned this but at least one of the versions comes with a footswitch in addition to the keyboard. The footswitch plugs into the keyboard and can be mapped to any key or macro(I think). I use the footswitch for the "shift" key, so I do not have to use my pinkies at all to type capital letters. This has saved me a lot of wear and tear on my weakest fingers, and I would absolutely recommend you giving that a try.
Organists use both a keyboard and footpedals when the play music, so it's not something that is too difficult to learn. I got pretty good using the foot pedal with both my left and right feet as well. Good luck! Reply
bitwiseshiftleft - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkI've used the Advantage for maybe 7 years. I use a Dvorak layout (on the Mac Q/D Switchable model) with the modifiers mapped around (Windows on the left thumb, Ctrl+Alt on the right on Windows; Cmd on the right for Mac) but otherwise vanilla. I'm a big fan of the shape of the keyboard, the switch action and the choice of thumb keys (though Shift would make an interesting addition). I've had the switches on one keyboard wear out.
The keyboard did take a few weeks to get used to, but afterward I could type faster and much more comfortably than before I switched.
That said, the Advantage definitely has a few issues. The function keys are terrible, and some keys which are useful to programmers are in strange places. I can mostly get used to this, but it's still slightly annoying. The lack of a dedicated keypad on such a huge and expensive piece of hardware is also a major oversight -- perhaps they could have put it in the center.
The beeping and clicking is just silly, but everyone who buys this keyboard turns it off within 5 minutes and then doesn't think about it again.
Beyond that, there are quirks in the keyboard's firmware. For example, if you hit the "=" and "c" characters at the same time, the keyboard will type out its firmware's copyright. I don't trigger this very often -- maybe once or twice a year, even when I have variables that might be equal to c -- but it's a silly "feature" for a keyboard to have.
The keyboard's firmware is also buggy in other ways, or at least it was on my first keyboard (the one which wore out). It occasionally will have stuck modifier keys (which can be released by pressing and releasing that key). More seriously, I've seen a lot of devices misbehave when chained onto the Kinesis' USB hub. This is probably either a firmware bug, or else it can't reliably distribute enough power to downstream devices.
With any remapped keyboard, you will also have some trouble with keys like "menu" or key bindings which distinguish left and right Ctrl or Alt keys, but this is hardly Kinesis' fault.
All in all, the Kinesis is an excellent piece of hardware and I recommend it on ergonomics, but you'd think it would have fewer bugs and oversights after being sold for so long. Reply
jejeahdh - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkI wish there was a normal ergo/natural keyboard with mechanical keys. Like so many others, an MS natural 4000 with cherry browns . . . it would rule. Reply
Steve S - Saturday, May 04, 2013 - linkGreat review, Jarrod. Have you incorporated a track pad or other pointing device into your workflow? I'd appreciate suggestions from you and other Kinesis Advantage users on how to do it. Reply
Proword - Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - linkGranddaddy of high-end ergonomic keyboards? Maltron started producing ergonomic keyboards in 1975, so this would probably rate as the grandson.
A keyboard really can't claim to be "ergonomic" if it uses the QWERTY layout. Maltron uses the Malt layout, which reduces the amount of work the arms and hands do, by reducing moves away from the home row keys.
These two videos show just how much difference the key distribution alone can make. Both are using identical Maltron dual hand keyboards, except one is an operator using QWERTY and the other using Malt layout. With the Malt notice how seldom the hands move from the home keys, while the QWERTY has the hands hovering almost permanently ready for the next keystroke.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYJtF1I3PRs Reply
Azteca - Friday, May 10, 2013 - linkI agree with Proword, Kinesis is not in any way the granddaddy of ergonomic keyboards. Kinesis is a mere imitator of the Maltron (available since 1976) to make the Advantage (1996). Kinesis just renamed the KBC-5600 Fujitsu Siemens keyboard as the Maxim (1997) which is also sold as the ErgoSplit. Kinesis have moved away from mechanical keyswitches and matrix style key layout with their Freestyle2 (2007) – a keyboard using the staggered key arrangement and rubber domes, a copycat of the Goldtouch (1992) and the ErgoFlex (1991). No innovation whatsoever for a company that claims to be.
Moreover, everybody should also consider than to take 'advantage' of all these keyboards, you need to be a touch-typist, otherwise, you will be worse than a hunt-and-peck on a conventional keyboard and possibly develop abundant neck pain. Reply
Spiff412 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkWhen my M$ Natural Elite took a nosedive in 2007 after 8 years of daily usage, the Natural Ergo 4000 I got to replace quickly stood out as a no-good replacement. Trawling the web for alternatives I came to remember a futuristic looking keyboard from Men In Black years ago and the course for a Kinesis Advantage was inevitably laid down.
Having used the Advantage now for the past 5 years I can truly say I'm not going back to traditional keyboards as I can feel the CTS sneak up on me after just minutes of typing...
Currently on standard QWERTY with a few keys reprogrammed to accomodate for special characters in the Norwegian alphabet, but I have been dabbling about trying Colemak, I just need the time to make the switch....
However the most productive change to the layout I have made is to re-map the CapsLock and left Shift key so that CapsLock=Shift and Shift=Ctrl.
Firstly this gets rid of CapsLock all togehter (yay!), secondly it is much easier for me to move the pinky slightly to the left to get capitalization or the Shift-function. Standard Ctrl+ nn combinations are also much quicker by using left pinky on the modified Ctrl-button (Cut/Copy/Paste).
Also, I know that the inscruction booklet says that palms should not be resting while typing - but I find that putting a 5-10mm thick support under the rubber feet in front slants the whole keyboard slightly forward to accomodate for relaced typing while palms are resting easily on the palm rest area, sort of similar to the Natural Elite and Ergo.
If you are looking for a permanent and positive mitigating action to counter your CTS you are definitely on the right track. Reply
JarrywWw - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkI've just purchased this keyboard too, upon review from http://www.bestergonomickeyboard.net/kinesis-keybo... and I'm reaaaaaally happy with it too. It's a great keyboard and even if it took me a bit of time to get used to it now I can't imagine not using it :) Reply
jszakmeister - Sunday, November 03, 2013 - linkI've been using a Kinesis Advantage Keyboard since 2002. I started off with a PS/2 version years ago, and transitioned to the USB model when it became available. I started off using it in the default QWERTY mode, and later transitioned to Dvorak when.
First, let me say that it's an excellent keyboard. It really does reduce the strain from typing. In fact, several others in the office started feeling some pain and made the switch as well. They've all been very happy they made the switch and love the keyboard as much as I do. I'd be upset if I was never able to get this keyboard again.
If you can convince yourself of it, learning Dvorak is a good idea. I started using Dvorak about 8 years ago, and have never regretted that decision. In fact, I regularly use both layouts. On a Kinesis keyboard, I type Dvorak. On anything else, I use QWERTY--since I can't have a Kinesis keyboard on *every* machine I touch. I've had very little issue with this setup as my hands automatically Do the Right Thing--they can tell just by the feel of the keyboard.
The Kinesis makes it easy to switch to Dvorak mode and you can get dual legend keys. I must admit that I wasn't much of a touch typist when I made the switch, but I'm definitely one now. It was well worth the change. I don't necessarily type any faster than I used to (50-60 WPM), but at the end of the day, I can feel the difference.
Finally, a couple of negatives. I've never been thrilled with the function keys on the Kinesis. They're a bit small to touch type. And while I've learned to touch type some of them, it's hard to do them all. On the plus side, I've heard that they'll be fixing that problem in the next rev. The other issue is games. You can't drive this keyboard one handed, so you'll want to keep around a plain old keyboard for the times when you need it. If you're an avid gamer, and it's gaming that's causing you the RSI issues, then another keyboard might be better than the Kinesis.
On the whole, I couldn't be happier with the keyboard. It's definitely worth a try. Reply
allenjm - Friday, January 02, 2015 - linkYou can get used to that shifted zxcvb row by typing "boxcar" over and over, 10-15 minutes. I had such a keyboard years ago and loved it. (I won't mention any names because they still owe me a keyboard or some money back. (It was a Datadesk SmartBoard.)) Reply

On Environmental Issues
by, 09-18-2013 at 03:34 PM (4153 Views)
And so, finally, I get it. Having spent most of my three score
and sixteen years wandering about this planet we call home; I finally get it.
["And what do you get ?", you may ask.]
What I get is that the world doesn't need saving !!
That's not to say it doesn't deserve it after all the abuse that man has
heaped on it since time began. When you think about it, probably the
first littering was done by Adam when he threw his apple core away.
Although, this analogy requires an amount of Judeo-Christian faith, its
likelihood would not have been the worst; since an apple core is
bio-degradeable. But, it was a start and ever since man has exploited
his discovery of every new resource until it was either depleted or it no
longer served his needs; to the point where we now contend with a
landscape strewn with used Tim Horton, Starbucks and MacDonald's
coffee cups. However, that is not my point.
My point is that, given the amount of abuse humankind has
perpetrated, the world is just fine. It is in perfect balance and headed
for distinction. All life is a process. All things are born, live and die;
including you and me. All things are in balance. It would be true arrogance
on our part to believe that we are the sole cause of earth's demise. What
we have done on the positive side of the ledger is to have temporarily made
human life on earth a bit more palatable at the same time adding to its woes
with as many if not more, negatives. And notice I said "human life"; for all of
the positives have not been conducive to harmony in the universe. Each
"adjustment" we make to our environment makes an equal and/or greater
change to someone else's environment :
Consider the wee mouse's plight in the story of the Mousetrap:
We are all connected; all a part of this great web and, everyA mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see
the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might
this contain?" He was devastated to discover it was a
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse
proclaimed the warning. "There is a mousetrap in the
house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and
said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you,
but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a
mousetrap in the house."
The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr.
Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be
assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow. She said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse.
I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and
dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone. That very
night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the
sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife
rushed to see what it had caught. In the darkness, she did
not see it was a venomous snake whose tail was secured in
the trap. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed
her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup,
so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's
main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and
neighbours came to sit with her around the clock. To feed
them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did
not get well; she died. So many people came for her
funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide
enough meat for all of them. And, the mouse was left to
fend for himself.
time we do or think (yes, think) we affect the harmony and
balance of the entire universe. Space is a great huge
lump of energy that is continuously in flux. It takes a very small
disturbance of the status quo to send ripples moving out in all
directions. It is recognized as the butterfly effect (see
www.wikipedia.org). So, the next time you hear someone is facing a
problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us
is threatened, all of us are at risk.
Regardless, whatever we do, say or think, the earth is on it's
own collision course with destiny. It has an amazing ability to mend or
replace itself from the atrocities we have dealt out and more, if we
were to only stop doing what we are doing and consider consequences.
Sure there are things each of us can do individually.
You need only visit www.climatecrisis.net to find out what can be
done. However, it is not that easy to give up some luxuries; to let go
of the work-saving devices we have become accustomed to; such as
hydro-electric power and non-renewable energy sources. Sure we
can recycle and conserve but it needs a greater sacrifice than that, it
needs a major shift in thinking and understanding; and mostly, that
takes generations. For, as Max Plank put it,The lifestyle changes we"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
have collectively made to date are a small pittance compared to what
is needed at this juncture and at any rate, considering the life cycle of
things, guess where we are headed anyway.
The Good News is that we still have a bit of time to turn it around.

TUPELO, Miss. — BancorpSouth Inc., which does business in nine states, including Louisiana, is offering a voluntary early retirement package to employees age 60 and over with 10 consecutive years of experience with the company.
The early retirement offer by the parent of Tupelo, Miss.-based BancorpSouth Bank has been made to 418 employees — or about 10 percent of the company's work force — who were eligible.
BancorpSouth spokesman Randy Burchfield says in a statement that the company does not know how many employees might accept the package. He says the company is not releasing details on what is being offered.

If you have come this far, then you must love nylon stockings as much as I do. I love the feel of them, so soft and silky and smooth. Wearing them makes me feel so sexy and I love the way they make my legs look and the way that men and women can't take their eyes off me when I am wearing them. The feel of a nice strong hand running up my silky legs makes me feel so sexy and just ready for anything.
You will find hundreds of photos here of me wearing Fully Fashioned Seamed Nylon Stockings, RH&T Nylons and silky shiny stay ups. You will see me getting very excited and making myself cum using my favorite dildos and vibrators, and all whilst wearing silky, shiny nylons. I hope you enjoy yourself. If you do, please tell your friends. And don't be shy to e-mail me and tell me how much you enjoyed my photos and what you would like to see me wearing for you in the future.
And by-the-way, I know what you boys do while you are looking at my pics. I don't mind. In fact, it makes me really hot thinking of you all playing with yourselves. I imagine you all surrounding me and shooting all over my stockings!

Did you know?
Blue Flag status is awarded for one year only, and the beaches of Port Elizabeth have continued to wave the flag for excellence since 2001.
You might be visiting Port Elizabeth during the winter, but a good sunny day along the Eastern Cape shores will inspire you to take to the waves.
There are six swimming beaches, stretching from Bluewater Bay on the N2 towards Grahamstown, to Sardinia Bay in the west. The temperature of the water is warm, peaking at 23 degrees Celsius in summer and around 16 degrees in winter.
The city is very proud of its international Blue Flag status, awarded to King's Beach, Wells Estate beach and Humewood Beach. All have good water quality, excellent lifesaving standards, parking and clean ablution facilities. These beaches continue to uphold their Blue Flag status and are a proud attraction in the Eastern Cape.
King's Beach, between the harbour and Humewood, is the most popular beach because it has kiosks, restaurants, mini golf and a go-kart track. Boat trips and deep sea fishing trawlers leave from King's Beach; Humewood Beach is quieter and offers lots of shade for the sun-shy visitor. Wells Estate has a long pier over the dunes and the complex includes a paddling pool and waterslides.
Hobie Beach, although not a current Blue Flag Beach, is just off Shark Rock Pier. This spot is good for windsurfing; it's popular because it's just a short walk from the Boardwalk Casino & Entertainment Centre.
Without a doubt, the most beautiful beach is Sardinia Bay. It's a bit of a drive from the popular beachfront hub, but it's well worth the trip. It is located in a marine reserve so there isn't much in the way of shops or restaurants, but its rolling dunes and endless sea and sand will inspire you.

I spent this past Easter weekend in Arizona with my family and let me tell you it was an exhausting one! It was a last minute trip, but it was nice to get out of town for a minute. I got back late last night and I am sooooooo happy to be back home. L.A. has my heart for sure!
I wore this outfit for Easter Sunday (with a black cardigan for church). Later, I switched out the heels for white gladiator sandals. It was a pretty comfy outfit, especially the pants. I love the buttons. I was battling with my hair…and I lost. Yuck. My mom was the photographer this time…she's pretty good…a little blurry…but good. 🙂

Man killed, woman injured when struck by train in Putnam
Published: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 3:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 3:44 p.m.
A 30-year-old man was killed and a woman seriously injured early Thursday morning in Putnam County when they were struck by an Amtrak train, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Shortly after 7 a.m., the southbound train was approaching U.S. 17 and County Road 309 when operator Daniel Lopez, 44, of Lake Mary saw what appeared to be debris on the railroad, the FHP reported.
Lopez told troopers he saw two people lying on the railroad tracks and he blew the horn and applied the train's brakes.
Stephen Carl Smith, 30, of San Mateo and Amanda Harvey, 32, of East Palatka tried to get up, Lopez said, but it was too late.
The cow catcher on the front of the train struck Smith, who was fatally injured. Harvey was taken to UF Health Shands Hospital where she was being treated for serious injuries, according to the FHP.

21 Day Eco-Chic Challenge
"Just as fashion tricks like wearing black or pinstripes make you look slimmer, the right hairstyle can also make your face seem thinner," says star coiffeur Oscar Blandi. "If you have long hair, don't wear it longer than your chest, and create movement with layers that frame your face."
"Avoid straight lines in your haircuts when you're trying to look thinner," says Blandi. "Rather, create a soft curve around your cheekbones and eyes. We have a tendency to look at the nose and eyes, so when you soften this part of the face, it becomes more attractive and appealing."

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Police in the northeast Ohio city of Akron say a driver in a stolen car hit a city bus, injuring at least 13 people.
Police Lt. Rick Edwards says most of the people hurt in the Tuesday crash appeared to have minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals.
The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/Kq3UHf ) reports the car driver ran from the scene, but no description of the driver was available.
A spokeswoman for the local public transit authority says the car driver apparently tried to pass other vehicles and struck one before clipping a bus that was at a stop.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (17-31, 2-16 SSC) dropped a pair of Sunshine State Conference games to the No.14-ranked Rollins College Tars (34-7, 15-3 SSC), Saturday afternoon from Rollins Softball Stadium at Lake Island Park. The Lions fell 11-0 in game one, followed by a 10-2 loss in the second game.
A seven-run third inning highlighted Rollins' game one victory, while a pair of three-run frames pushed the home standing Tars to the sweep.
Emily Holman starred for the Lions as she blasted her first-career home run over the leftfield fence. McKenzie Burns, Ali Lamb, and Brittany Yates also recorded base hits for Saint Leo.
The Tars' bats remained hot in the first game of the doubleheader as they scored one run in each of the first two innings, but it was a seven-run third frame that solidified the game for Rollins. Monica Meadows punctuated the inning with a three-run home run, her third of the series.
Rollins added two more in the fourth to solidify the five inning victory.
The Lions best chance at platting runs came in the first inning as Yates and Lamb roped back-to-back singles, but were left in scoring position.
Hurler Kristen Kelly dropped to 4-8 as she took the loss for the Lions, while Amye McIntyre improved to 11-4 as she went the distance for Rollins.
It was a different start in game two however, as Lions' third baseman Emily Holman blasted a two-run home run off of Rollins' starter Hope Bitzer. The second inning shot was the first collegiate hit for the freshman.
Still, the Tars battled back to regain the lead in the bottom of the second as they scored three runs on four hits.
The Lions threatened again in the third inning as they put runners at second and third with no outs. Unfortunately, Saint Leo couldn't plate those chances, leaving the door open for the Tars. Rollins took advantage of the opportunity in the bottom of the frame as they notched their second consecutive three-run inning to take a 6-2 lead.
The Tars increased their lead two more times over the course of the game as they scored two runs in the fourth and fifth innings to claim the five-inning win. s
Ashley Ehlers (4-5) was saddled with the loss for the Lions, while senior Kristen Kelly was admirable in relief tossing 1.1 innings. After being touched-up with two runs in the second inning, the Tars' Bitzer settled to toss a complete game two-hitter.
The Lions will continue SSC action on Friday, April 20, when they travel to St. Petersburg, Fla. to take on the Eckerd College Tritons. First pitch for Friday's single game is set for 7 p.m. from the Turley Athletic Complex on the campus of Eckerd College.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was able to customize this menu perfectly! I added an extra course and was very pleased with the layout and design. Upon reviewing my personalized prof, I was pleased to see that I was given two option- both of which were gorgeous. The people who personalize the cards do a fantastic job! They have a way of being able to truly understand what you want with the designs and they do a wonderful job of delivering it."
"We personalized this by using blues/navy colors, by removing 1 of the courses (we're only having 3 courses, but there is room for 4 on the menu if needed), by doing rounded edges which I think adds to the slightly more informal modern look, and adding a 'save room for wedding cake' note on the back. I'm really looking forward to adding this to our table display."
"We were very happy with the menus. We selected the purple flowers and the shimmer paper. Good quality, and we received many compliments at the reception regarding the menus."
"I originally chose a different design for my wedding programs, table cards, etc., but that design didn't have green menu cards so I ordered this style instead. The staff at Wedding Paper Divas was kind enough to adjust the coloring of the letters to make this design look closer to the rest of my order. The result? A beautiful, cohesive look that impressed my guests. I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I have ordered all my paper items through WPD's and always a quality product! Beautiful work and great customer service!"

Shipwrecks have longed captured the imagination of the public. Shipwreck stories, historic and fictional, contain many of the themes that draw interest: man vs. nature, courage, survival, tragedy, hope, life, and death. Newfoundland and Labrador, with 500 years of nautical history, has its fair share of shipwrecks – perhaps more so, given the amount of historic sea traffic, the province's position in the north Atlantic Ocean, and the foggy and stormy weather. Indeed, some estimates place the number of shipwrecks off the coast of Newfoundland in excess of 10,000!

Have you ever wondered what lies beyond the dark mouth of a sea cave? Are you curious about the mysterious creatures that live within? Ocean Quest Adventure Resort has added a new offering to their Close Encounter Tours: 2 guides, 3 hours, 4 boats, 8 lights, 12 people, and 24 fins – it's time to go swimming in the dark!

The roar of the engine cuts out and everything is silent. I hold my breath and scan the waters for a sign of life. Suddenly a glistening black and white tail flicks up and into view. "Go! Go! Go!" screams the Skipper and I plunge into the icy waters. As I swim I look through my mask into the deep and see a giant directly below me – there's no turning back now, I'm swimming with humpbacks.

As I sat in my kayak, gently bobbing in the water, sun warming my face, I almost feel the need to pinch myself – directly in front of me was a massive, sparkling iceberg. "This is amazing!" yells my partner, seated in the back of our tandem boat, and it was. Not many can say they spent their Sunday paddling around two 10,000 year old giants – but Ocean Quest Adventure Resort made it possible.

It's not often that mere mortals can afford to stay in the same luxurious lodgings where royalty once slept. And when those accommodations also boast intriguing links to the ocean liner Titanic, the chances seem remote indeed.

"Remember, give'r till ya shiver," says the man responsible for my safety just before I jump off a boat into freezing water. I've come to the most easterly point in North America in the hope of having an up close and personal experience with whales.

It's almost question-popping time – you know, Valentine's Day – but going down on one knee is a little…boring, right? Predictable, safe, and just not your style. Life is a big adventure, and the two of you are adventurous. So, let's go deep, 89 feet deep, in SCUBA gear, to the deck of an historic shipwreck, and spring the ring. Now, that's a proposal!

History of Prints
The invention of the printing press was truly revolutionary for how it provided both written information and images, previously only accessible to an elite few, to the general public. This democratization of written and visual information changed the cultural landscape, and the art world was no exception. With the advent of photography, the visual arts became even more accessible to all. For example, even someone of very humble means was able to hang Pablo Picasso prints on his/her wall. In the 1960s, pop-art giant Andy Warhol made the concept of mass-produced printed materials and celebrity personas a focal point in his work, using commercial printing methods to make reproducible art. The torch was carried on by famed guerilla street artists like Shepard Fairey and Robbie Conal who've posted prints of their original artwork in highly visible areas in cities around the world, further stressing the importance of making art available to a wider, non-elite community.
