Set tree up, and "fluff" each branch as you go.
1. Use the largest stems first, the ones that will lay on the branches. Use all of one color at a time. If your tree is red and gold, put all the red on, and then the gold, etc. Be sure to save a few of each color for the top.
2. Stem should be "comma" shaped, so it's not too flat. Lay it on the branch to make it look like it is an extension of the branch.
3. Working in an obtuse triangle, place all of one kind of stem on the tree. Try not to let them line up vertically.
4. After the "flat" stem is on, start with the largest flower, or pick, and place them on, in an obtuse triangle. Make sure all flowers/poinsettias are shaped properly, and that they are looking at the sun. They should be put in the tree at a 45 degree angle, pointing slightly upward.
5. Start with the largest balls, or ornaments and place fairly deep in the tree. They will serve as a canvas, or color background. Place all of one color at a time, in a triangle pattern.
6. If you have any large focus items, such as a Santa doll, or birdcages, etc, nestle them in next. Do not line them up vertically.
7. Now hang the rest of the ornaments, placing in a triangle pattern as mentioned above, largest first, by color.
9. Use glitter stems at the top: Place the first stem exactly vertical with the top of the tree. Then stick in the next one about 6 inches down from that one, and working in a circle, even out the "spray" of stem at the top by placing the other stem in at different "heights". They should be extensions of the tree branches.
10. Step back . Admire and Dance

Edmund T. Pratt, Jr.
President (1971 – 1972)
Chief Executive Officer (1972 – 1991)
Chairman of the Board (1972 –1992)
Ed Pratt expanded Pfizer operations into almost every country of the world during the 1970s, firmly establishing the company's position of leadership as a global entity. His involvement in city, state, and national affairs also brought Pfizer widespread recognition as a responsible and responsive corporate citizen.
Pratt, a graduate of Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, joined Pfizer as controller in 1964, following public service as assistant secretary of the Army for Financial Management during the Kennedy Administration. In 1969, Pratt became chairman and president of Pfizer International; two years later, in 1971, he was elected president of Pfizer, and the following year succeeded Jack Powers as chairman and CEO.
During Pratt's two decades at the helm, Pfizer evolved into one of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical companies in the United States. The Pratt years were marked by expanded research and development facilities worldwide, the acquisition of Howmedica and other medical device companies, and the introduction of breakthrough products like Procardia® XL (nifedipine GITS extended-release tablets), Feldene® (piroxicam), Diflucan® (fluconazole), and Norvasc® (amlodipine besylate). Under his leadership, annual revenue increased sevenfold, from $1 billion to nearly $7 billion.
Pratt's earlier government service in Washington stood him in good stead as the Company grew and played a greater role in national and international matters. As advisor to United States Trade Representative Bill Brock in the mid-1980s, he played an instrumental role encouraging private sector involvement in trade matters. As chairman of the presidentially appointed Advisory Committee for Trade Negotiations, he also broadened the trade agenda to include items of global impact, including the issue of intellectual property.
Outgoing and convivial, Ed Pratt was an active participant in "Pfizer Family" celebrations and community activities. He served as chairman of the Business Council of New York State, The Business Round Table, and the President's Advisory Committee for Trade Negotiations. Virtually every area of New York City's commercial, cultural, and community life benefited from his heartfelt commitment to the city and its people. Shortly after Pratt stepped down as CEO in 1991, a new pharmaceuticals sales force was named in his honor. On March 1, 1992 Pratt retired as chairman and continued his involvement with the Company as a director of the board until 1997.
During his tenure as head of Pfizer, Ed Pratt was instrumental in the creation of low-income housing around Pfizer's Brooklyn plant, the donation of a Pfizer building for a public charter school, and the economic development and improvements in neighborhood safety. Always a generous man, Mr. Pratt held leadership positions in organizations such as the United Way, the Boys Clubs of America, and the Girl Scouts. He made significant contributions to Long Island University, in 1998, to fund academic, computer, and library facilities and, in 1999, to Duke University which created the Pratt School of Engineering. On September 5, 2002 Ed Pratt passed away at the age of 75. His commitment to Pfizer and the community at large will have a lasting effect.
"I'm a people person, and that's what I brought to Pfizer. I told my colleagues that if we were creative, had fun and worked hard, we could be among the best of the best." — Ed Pratt

Goal Choice

Team Ratings
J. Mucha
Wasn't really given any headaches to speak of in the initial 45 minutes apart from the odd long distance effort to stop, thanks mostly to the keeper's solid defence. The second half brought a bit more to the plate for Tim Howard's replacement, with a double save from Tevez and Milner in quick succession keeping Everton in the lead at a vital time of the match. Another stop from a Zabaleta chance made a massive difference.
S. Coleman
An encouraging performance from the young Irishman, who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to make great tackles and interventions, a top performance.
J. Heitinga
Strong against Dzeko and made sure that the Bosnian striker had a tough time in the Everton third, thanks to the Dutchman's great covering play and interventions. His tackling and positioning in the second half ensured Everton stayed in the lead.
S. Distin
Kept Tevez at bay for most of the game, although the City attacker was able to get one or two efforts on Mucha's goal, albeit from a long way out most of the time. The defender was not as active as his Dutch partner, but certainly made a difference.
L. Baines
Working his magic down the left, the attacking full-back gave Everton plenty of energy on the flanks, as well as some opportunistic crosses into the City area. The England man also stuck to his defensive duties and did well to stop City's wide men.
S. Pienaar
Not a great day for the Everton man who flew in on Gareth Barry to earn himself a booking with less than 30 minutes played. On the hour mark, the midfielder was sent off for a recklessly late challenge on Garcia and left his side fighting to keep their narrow lead with 10 men
D. Gibson
The former Manchester United man was one of Everton's quieter men on the field, with the midfielder not making too much of an impact and playing a more subtle role to those around him, passing well and keeping hold of the ball.
M. Fellaini
The Belgian's first noticeable impact on the game was a mistimed and crushing tackle on James Milner, one that got the attacker booked and banned for the next two games as a result of it being his 10th caution of the season. The Belgian had a decent day on the ball, but his form from the loss against Wigan looks to have carried on with this game.
L. Osman
The midfield man was sporting the captain's armband in the place of Phil Neville and certainly made an impact with Everton's first and only goal, smashing it from about 25 yards into Joe Hart's top corner. Osman kept it up with a strong presence in the midfield battle.
V. Anichebe
Replacing the misfiring Jelavic, Anichebe put in another solid shift for Everton and his hard work up top gave his opposing defenders something to think about. However, a lack of chances on Hart's goal left his performance just lacking that important edge.
K. Mirallas
The midfielder had a great goal wrongly ruled out for offside in the opening 20 minutes, but that did not put the Belgian down and the attacker kept the pressure on City to help Everton create new chances before eventually being subbed off.
Manchester City
J. Hart
Despite Everton's dominance in the opening half, the England international only had a couple of dangerous moments to deal with. However, the goalkeeper was left flat-footed when Leon Osman's blasted opener curled into his top corner. The second half was a little busier, and could not stop Jelavic's brilliant goal at the death.
A. Kolarov
The wing-back did a good job going forward and created a few chances for the visitors, but nothing too clear-cut and as a result, City found themselves with little to work with.
P. Zabaleta
Had a few chances on goal, one of which being well stopped by Mucha, but was busy defending for most of the game, predominantly doing well.
K. Touré
Had a hard time against Anichebe who was very strong, but for most of it did well enough to keep Everton away from goal. However, the Ivorian was caught flat-footed during a counterattack from the hosts at the death which saw Jelavic score their second.
M. Nastasić
The defender had a busy afternoon and generally did a decent job, but like Toure, struggled to react to Everton's late counter that saw the game put to bed.
David Silva
Often the maestro in the middle, but the Spaniard struggled with Everton's impetus to get ahead of City in the game and the former Valencia man never really looked like offering anything particularly magical.
J. Milner
The former Villa man could not really make his impact on the game and had a hard time of it against Everton's much more energised midfielders.
G. Barry
An average display from the man in the middle for City, with Barry keeping his team moving through the middle, but not really adding anything spectacular to the fore.
Javi García
Not a particularly great day for Garcia, who did not add a great deal to the game for City and never gave Everton much to deal with.
E. Džeko
The striker had very little in the way of goal-bound opportunities, the Bosnia international being restricted by the confident John Heitinga to soft shots and not much else.
C. Tévez
The Argentine had his chances on goal, but a lack of clinical ability let him down, but credit to Much for denying the former United man on a couple of occasions.

WARMINSTER were unable to restart their Dorset & Wilts One South with a victory in Dorset.
With a tough set of games coming up January, the Amber and Blues were looking to get themselves off to a positive start but Blandford opened the scoring with two unconverted tries.
Having hardly touched the ball for the first 10 minutes Warminster's cause in a struggling scrum wasn't helped when prop Ben Birbeck had to leave the field due to injury.
The amber blues lineout was functioning well though and after a number of Blandford penalties at the breakdown, Warminster kicked themselves into the corner and a solid catch allowed the ball to go out to the backs where centre Rob Bell hit the line at pace and charged over, Jason Sprangle adding the conversion.
The game was then moved to an adjacent pitch after a Blandford player suffered a broken leg, but when it restarted, Warminster lost impetus and Blandford added two more tries.
Another home score arrived after half time, but the visitors hit back when wing Dan Harris scuttled over.
Two more tries increased the hosts' advantage, but Warminster refused to give up and scored a second try from Bell – now operating at flanker But they lost James Rowbotham to a shoulder injury and Blandford captalised with two more scores before Luke Windsor grabbed a battling try bonus point for the visitors.

Did you know?
Sir George Napier chose the name "Wellington" for the town when it was established in 1840 in honour of The Duke Of Wellington.
Wellington, which is within 45 minutes' drive of Cape Town, is located in a scenic part of the Boland at the foot of the Hawequas mountains.
This little town was once the gateway to the interior and experienced something of a boom during the diamond rush in Kimberley in the late 19th century, as travellers to the north would navigate through the narrow Bainskloof Pass.
Established by French Hugenot's in 1688, the town was originally called Limietvalley (Limit Valley), and then later renamed Wagenmakersvallei (Wagon Makers' Valley) as many wagon makers settled and made their living here.
Eventually, in 1840, after the Duke of Wellington's defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, it was renamed Wellington by then Governor of the Cape Sir George Napier.
Today, Wellington's scenic location, fertile soil and relatively easy access to Cape Town have made it a popular tourist destination. There are many guest houses on surrounding farms, good restaurants, a wine route and the historic Bainskloof Pass (where leopards still roam). The area lends itself to outdoor pursuits like horse riding and mountain biking.
The Dutch Reformed Church in Wellington, which dates back to the 1840s, is a spectacular piece of architecture.The town is also an academic hub, with the Huguenot College and Cape Peninsula University of Technology among is list of education institutions.

Best time to visit

Tours to do
A must see is the Hildenbrand Wine and Olive Estate, which was established by Reni Hildenbrand in 1999.
Get around
The town is best explored on foot and by car. You will need a vehicle to tour the wine farms
Length of stay
A long weekend will give you plenty of time to explore the area.
Where to stay
Wellington accommodation is vast with many pretty country houses, guests cottages and bed and breakfast places on the menu. Try one of them out for some well deserved rest and relaxation.

Fox continues "shameful" attacks on DOJ lawyers who defended terror suspects
Research ››› ››› ERIC SCHROECK
Fox & Friends again attacked the Department of Justice for hiring lawyers who previously represented terror suspects or supported their legal arguments. But as a FoxNews.com article has noted, Bush administration lawyers also represented Guantánamo Bay detainees before working for the Justice Department, and several past Bush and Clinton DOJ officials have called these attacks "shameful" and "wrong."
Fox & Friends attacks DOJ lawyers who have defended terror suspects
Carlson: "It's almost like it was a job requirement to have defended" a terrorist. On the March 5 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson said of the Justice Department lawyers, "It's almost like it was a job requirement to have defended a" terrorist. She then asked, "Seriously, when somebody finally exposes this, this is trouble, is it not?"
Kilmeade: "What should we know when nine Department of Justice lawyers ... were involved in advocating for Al Qaeda terrorists?" During the March 5 Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade asked guest Andrew McCarthy of National Review Online: "What should we know when nine Department of Justice lawyers are involved -- they're hired right now -- were involved in advocating for Al Qaeda terrorists when they were at Gitmo before they got this job, when President Bush was in the White House." McCarthy replied, in part: "Well, obviously I think the fact that they voluntarily represented America's enemies is something to be very concerned about if they're now in the position of making counterterrorism policy."
But as Fox has previously reported, Bush DOJ also hired lawyers who represented terror suspects
March 3 FoxNews.com article: "Obama Administration is not the first to hire lawyers who represented or advocated for terror suspects." In a March 3 article about lawyers currently working for DOJ who previously represented terror suspects or supported their legal arguments, FoxNews.com reported that "[t]he Obama Administration is not the first to hire lawyers who represented or advocated for terror suspects." From the FoxNews.com article:
A day after a conservative group released a video condemning the Justice Department for refusing to identify seven lawyers who previously represented or advocated for terror suspects, Fox News has uncovered the identities of the seven lawyers.
The names were confirmed by a Justice Department spokesman, who said "politics has overtaken facts and reality" in a tug-of-war over the lawyers' identities.
The Obama Administration is not the first to hire lawyers who represented or advocated for terror suspects.
Pratik Shah, an assistant to the Solicitor General hired by the Bush Administration, was part of the WilmerHale team that put together arguments for the Boumediene v. Bush case.
Trisha Anderson, an adviser in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel who was also hired by the Bush Administration, was previously an attorney at Attorney General Eric Holder's former firm, Covington & Burling, where she helped represent 13 Yemeni detainees.
Varda Hussain, an attorney hired in 2008 with the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, was an associate with the Washington-based firm Venable when she helped represent three Egyptians being held at Guantanamo Bay.
"Varda has spent over 500 hours in the past year fighting to bring due process to our clients," a firm newsletter said in 2006.
Former Bush, Clinton officials criticize attacks on DOJ lawyers as "shameful," "wrong," "outrageous," "cheap shots"
Former head of OLC Walter Dellinger slams attacks on DOJ lawyers as "shameful." In a March 5 Washington Post op-ed, Walter Dellinger, former head of the Office of Legal Counsel during the Clinton administration, wrote that "[t]he only word that can do justice to the personal attacks on these fine lawyers -- and on the integrity of our legal system -- is shameful. Shameful." From Dellinger's op-ed:
It never occurred to me on the day that Defense Department lawyer Rebecca Snyder and Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler of the Navy appeared in my law firm's offices to ask for our assistance in carrying out their duties as military defense lawyers that the young lawyer who worked with me on that matter would be publicly attacked for having done so. And yet this week that lawyer and eight other Justice Department attorneys have been attacked in a video released by a group called Keep America Safe (whose board members include William Kristol and Elizabeth Cheney) for having provided legal assistance to detainees before joining the department. The video questions their loyalty to the United States, asking: "DOJ: Department of Jihad?" and "Who are these government officials? ... Whose values do they share?"
That those in question would have their patriotism, loyalty and values attacked by reputable public figures such as Elizabeth Cheney and journalists such as Kristol is as depressing a public episode as I have witnessed in many years. What has become of our civic life in America? The only word that can do justice to the personal attacks on these fine lawyers -- and on the integrity of our legal system -- is shameful. Shameful.
Former Bush administration official Peter D. Keisler reportedly says it's "wrong" to attack DOJ lawyers . The New York Times reported on March 4 that former Bush administration official Peter D. Keisler, "who led the Bush administration's courtroom defense against lawsuits filed by Guantanamo detainees is denouncing attacks on Obama administration appointees who previously helped such prisoners challenge their indefinite detention without trial." The article further stated:
Peter D. Keisler, who was assistant attorney general for the civil division in the Bush administration, said in an interview that it was "wrong" to attack lawyers who volunteered to help such lawsuits before joining the Justice Department.
"There is a longstanding and very honorable tradition of lawyers representing unpopular or controversial clients," Mr. Keisler said. "The fact that someone has acted within that tradition, as many lawyers, civilian and military, have done with respect to people who are accused of terrorism -- that should never be a basis for suggesting that they are unfit in any way to serve in the Department of Justice."
Mr. Keisler spoke out one day after the Justice Department confirmed a Fox News report naming nine political appointees who had worked on detainee litigation before to joining the government. The department had declined to identify seven of those officials in response to a request by congressional Republicans.
Former Bush lawyer John Bellinger calls attacks "inappropriate" "cheap shots." On the March 4 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, during a report discussing the attacks on DOJ lawyers, former Bush administration lawyer John Bellinger said, "I think those sorts of cheap shots, suggesting that a lawyer who is simply defending a client somehow shares those views, are -- really are inappropriate." Bellinger also stated, "John Adams represented Tories who were accused of treason back in the revolution. This is the sort of work that we ought be applauding and not attacking."
Former military commissions prosecutor under Bush Col. Morris Davis reportedly calls attacks "outrageous." The Washington Independent's Spencer Ackerman reported on March 2 that Air Force Col. Morris Davis (Ret.), who served as a chief prosecutor for the Office of Military Commissions during the Bush administration, called the attacks on the DOJ lawyers "absolutely outrageous." Referencing recent attacks on DOJ officials Neal Katyal and Jennifer Daskal, Morris reportedly said, "It is absolutely outrageous ... to try to tar and feather Neal and Jennifer and insinuate they are al-Qaeda supporters." From Ackerman's Washington Independent post:
"Neal in particular was and is one of the sharpest and hardest-working attorneys I've known in the 27 years I've been practicing law," said Davis, who supervised prosecutions at Guantanamo from 2005 to 2007. "It is absolutely outrageous for the Cheney-Grassley crowd to try to tar and feather Neal and Jennifer and insinuate they are al-Qaeda supporters. You don't hear anyone refer to John Adams as a turncoat for representing the Brits in the Boston Massacre trial." Davis, of course, opposed Katyal on the famous case of Guantanamo Bay detainee Salim Ahmed Hamdan's habeas corpus rights -- a case that Katyal won in the Supreme Court, striking down the first iteration of the military commissions. "He was the epitome of professionalism, and I can't say that about a lot of the folks involved" in the commissions, Davis continued.
"If you zealously represent a client, there's nothing shameful about that," said the retired Air Force colonel. "That's the American way."
Former Bush lawyer Reginald Brown calls attacks "beyond a cheap shot." According to a March 4 Washington Post article, former Bush lawyer Reginald Brown stated, "It's beyond a cheap shot to suggest that a lawyer is an al-Qaeda sympathizer because he advocates a detainee's position in the Supreme Court."
Wash. Post, CNN legal analyst criticize attacks on DOJ
Washington Post: "Attacks are an effort to smear the Obama administration and the reputations of Justice Department lawyers." A March 5 Washington Post editorial called the attacks on the DOJ lawyers "an effort to smear the Obama administration and the reputations of Justice Department lawyers who, before joining the administration, acted in the best traditions of this country by volunteering to take on the cases of suspected terrorists." The editorial continued, "They now find themselves the target of a video demanding that they be identified, as if they had committed a crime or needed to be exposed for subverting national security."
CNN legal analyst Bloom: "We should not be conducting a witch hunt into what people as attorneys did before they came to the DOJ." During the March 5 edition of The Situation Room, CNN legal analyst Lisa Bloom stated: "We shouldn't be conducting a witch hunt into what people as attorneys did before they came to the DOJ. If you want to ask them what their values are, whether they are loyal to the policies that they are working on, fine. But who they represented in their past lives as attorneys is entirely irrelevant."
Attorney assisted in detainee case at request of DOD
Dellinger: DOD official requested assistance in detainee case. In his March 5 Washington Post op-ed, Dellinger detailed "the story of one of those" DOJ lawyers who came to represent detainees at the request of Bush Department of Defense officials:
In June 2007, I was at a federal judicial conference when I received an urgent message to call the Defense Department. The caller was Lt. Cmdr. Kuebler, a uniformed Navy officer who had been detailed to the Office of Military Commissions. As part of his military duties, Kuebler had been assigned to represent Omar Khadr, a Guantanamo detainee who was to be tried before a military commission. Kuebler told me that the U.S. Supreme Court had agreed that day to review the case of another detainee who had been a part of the same lower court proceeding as Khadr. Because Kuebler's client had not sought review at the Supreme Court, this situation raised some complex questions of court practice with which Kuebler was unfamiliar. Kuebler's military superior suggested he call me and ask whether I could assist him in analyzing the applicable Supreme Court rule.
It was a Friday night. I called Karl Thompson, a lawyer at my firm who had previously been a Supreme Court law clerk, and asked whether he could look into the question over the weekend. I told Thompson that the military lawyers assigned to these cases had a very burdensome workload and that it seemed that Kuebler could really use our help. Even though Thompson was extremely busy with other work at the firm, he said he would somehow find time for this as well.
Over the next several months, Thompson (in addition to his other firm work) provided assistance to Kuebler and his Defense Department colleague in their briefing before the Supreme Court and, in Khadr's case, the lower courts. Khadr's case raises important questions, including the legal status of juvenile detainees (he was 15 years old at the time of capture). In 2009, Thompson left our firm to join the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department.
Thompson's assistance to the military officers who had been assigned to Khadr's case seemed to me to be not only part of a lawyer's professional obligation but a small act of patriotism as well. The other Justice Department lawyers named in this week's attack came to provide assistance to detainees in a number of ways, but they all deserve our respect and gratitude for fulfilling the professional obligations of lawyers.
Fox & Friends has previously suggested DOJ lawyers sympathize with terrorists
Doocy wondered if DOJ lawyers are "sympathetic to the Al Qaeda cause." During the February 22 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy stated of the Justice Department lawyers, "And the argument continues, you know, if they represented these guys, are they sympathetic to the Al Qaeda cause?"
Malkin suggested DOJ has "jihadis' best interests ... at heart." During the February 25 edition of Fox & Friends, Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin stated, "It raises all sorts of conflicts of interest questions, and, more importantly, national security questions." She continued: "I think that the American people have a right to know whether the people who are working for them in the government are people who have the jihadis' best interests, and not our best interests, at heart." Doocy responded that the attorneys would probably say they are not sympathetic to the terrorism suspects.

- Cards from design competition help disaster Relief Fund
Cards from design competition help disaster Relief Fund
June 19, 2012
Tracy Cox, Communications Director
877-739-3895, Ext. 116
National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC)
ENOLA, Pa. ‑ This month marks the beginning of 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. The loss of housing, employment and resources that accompany a natural disaster creates environments where criminal activity, such as sexual violence, increases. In 2005 in response to Hurricane Katrina, The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) created The Relief Fund for Sexual Assault Victims. The Fund aids sexual assault victims and advocacy programs impacted by disasters across the United States.
To help aid future efforts, NSVRC is releasing Cards That Care. These note cards were created through an online design competition. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these cards will support The Relief Fund for Sexual Assault Victims.
The winning design that conveys The Relief Fund's message, "Lend a hand, heal a heart," was created by Alyssa Cramer from Indiana. Based on results from online voting, two other designs garnered honorable mentions and were created by Myra Marsh, of Pennsylvania, and
Susanna I. Mercado and Daniel Mercado, of Pennsylvania.
"It's so inspiring to see people using their creativity to help victims in disaster areas," says NSVRC Director Karen Baker. "This project helped bring awareness to sexual violence prevention, and was a fun way for people to get involved. Even if someone didn't design a card, they were able to participate by voting for their favorite design. Now, everyone can enjoy these cards while supporting The Relief Fund and sending a card to someone they care about."
For more information or to purchase the cards, visit https://store.nsvrc.org/store.aspx.
Founded by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape in 2000, NSVRC identifies, develops and disseminates resources regarding all aspects of sexual violence and its prevention. For more information, visit www.nsvrc.org, www.facebook.com/nsvrc and www.twitter.com/nsvrc.

recommend a decent mid size laptop for gaming on the train?
Don't want to go totally overboard or get something to replace my desktop - I want something that will let me play games like Star Ruler or Dwarf Fortress or maybe a Total War type game on the train.
So I am not looking for a 9lb monster with a 15" screen, and I don't want to spend upwards of £600.
I'm almost tempted by that ASUS lamborghini (which switches between onboard graphics and mobile graphics card depending on the need) but reviews tend to say "you can get a laptop that's twice as good for only a little more money". So - where's that laptop?
Suggestions welcome.
That Asus is really not going to give you good performance for the price. The graphics card could handle some low-end 3D gaming but would likely struggle with any Total War newer than Rome. The processor will be a bigger problem, as the Atom processors are really not designed for gaming and aren't very fast even compared to what you'll find in a cheaper 15" laptop.
How important are the size and battery life to you? I have a 15" with a 2-3 hour battery life that I find adequate for train journeys, although it's not very comfortable to walk with it on my shoulder for any length of time.
This site is very handy for comparing laptop performance. See the benchmark lists for processors and GPUs, and the list of gaming performance for GPUs.

I had the Asus U35JC (it was stolen) and thought it a very good machine. It is an ultraportable, so sacrifices were being deliberately made there - I wanted something really light and thin. Battery life was excellent, although gaming obviously hurt it. As for what games:
Anything Source engine at native resolution, maxed out settings. Company of Heroes native res, low details. Borderlands had to be knocked down to lower resolutions. The U36JC is a little more expensive, but also a little better specced and notably thinner.
Notebook check benchmark almost every laptop graphics adapter and CPU, so you can get a good feel for what you are getting. The wonderful world of Sandy Bridge also means that now laptops without dedicated graphics cards can be capable, if not amazing at games.
bought my wife an acer (ATI 3450HD gfx or something) for ~£300 a few xmases ago - it does well, plays WoW with reasonable prettiness, can cope with World of Tanks (mostly), plays BB a treat ;)

How about this one? LINK
I haven't played with it but it seems to share the design ideology with Asus(n81vp) that I've been using for the last few years.
It's availabe in a few versions ranging from $650 to $750 on the Lenovo website.

Size isn't massively important. Weight is more of a consideration: I want something that qualifies as portable, not a "desktop replacement". Battery life isn't a major consideration - I'm wanting it for longer train journeys, where I'll have access to a power socket.
Ntw, I would be interested in more info on the one you describe (or its nowadaysier version). I'm hoping for recommendations from people with direct experience, rather than just taking a flyer on something off the internet.
cheers all.

My Asus is a 14'' with a pretty decent CPU(Core2Duo T9550), 4GB of RAM and a Radeon 4650(later switched to xx70 for free, yay!), it weights 2,5kg with the battery I can use it for about 2 hours with the WIFI on. It's able to play anything, the only game that was uncomfortably laggy was Metro 2033.
It's small and light enough not to be a bother to carry around and allows me to play anything I want, I rarely find myself away from a power supply long enough to notice the short battery life anyway.
I haven't tried that Lenovo but it seems to be a very similar to my lappy, only updated a lot. Something worth checking out if you can find one to try or get some opinions about it. I haven't been looking for laptops lately so I don't really know any other new laptops like this, I only know about this one because a friend showed it to me.

Fishing is a recreation that is commonly seen in the Pokémon world.
In the games
Fishing is a way to catch Pokémon in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod. There are three fishing rods that are given out throughout the course of each game, and each one is given out by a Fishing Brother. The exception is in Generation V, where only the Super Rod is available, obtained from LookerBW or Cedric JuniperB2W2.
|Note: In the Generation II games and HeartGold and SoulSilver, all Pokémon encountered with this rod are level 10.

Catching Pokémon
Generation I and Generation II
In Generation I and II, fishing is simply a matter of standing next to water and using the rod. Sometimes, it will hook a Pokémon, and start a battle. Other times, it will catch nothing. There is a random chance of either happening, so if the rod catches nothing, players can cast it out again.
Generation III
Starting with Generation III, the fishing mechanic became more complicated, as the player would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, this required a series of confirmations to reel in better Pokémon. Generation III also introduced the ability for Pokémon Trainers to fish off the back of a surfing Pokémon, which may be required to catch Feebas. This also made fishing on Route 4 possible.
Generation IV
In Generation IV, when the player uses the rod, an exclamation mark-like sign would pop up above the player, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered. As with Generation III, the Pokémon will go away if the player takes too long.
Generation V
In Generation V, fishing mechanics are mostly unchanged from Generation IV. However, by fishing in rippling water, different Pokémon can be caught, generally being rare Pokémon or the evolved forms of the Pokémon normally found. As such, this allows certain Pokémon such as Milotic and Poliwrath to be caught in the wild, while normally they would not. Furthermore, the Old and Good Rods are no longer available, making the player have a single rod to fish Pokémon with.
Generation VI
In Generation VI, fishing mechanics remain mostly unchanged, with the removal of rippling water and the addition of consecutive fishing, which can be done by fishing repeatedly without moving from the same spot and always hooking a Pokémon. Consecutive fishing will raise the probability of hooking a Shiny Pokémon in long, uninterrupted fishing streaks with any Rod. The Old and Good Rods made their return.
PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS
- Main article: PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS
PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS is a game focused on fishing for Pokémon. Points are earned for the size, rarity, and species of the caught Pokémon. Up to five Pokémon can be stored at once, and high scores could be seen at Pokémon Centers, while the game was still available for download.
In the anime
In the main series
Numerous episodes of the anime have featured the group fishing.
At the Safari Zone, a fishing rod is distributed with the Safari Balls.
Rather than using bait, lures with Pokémon designs are used. In Whiscash and Ash, a fisherman believed that the secret to catching the Whiscash he was looking for, was finding the right lure. Misty has a collection of lures, including a special lure based on herself that she believes is the best. She sent it to Ash as a gift in The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing. Ash used this lure in Buizel Your Way Out of This to try to catch a powerful Buizel.
In Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!, Cilan used his fishing skills to catch a Stunfisk that was preventing Ash and Oshawott from retrieving plants at the bottom of a lake to cure their poisoned Pokémon. Like others before him, Cilan uses a fishing lure based on himself. In A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!, Cilan showed his fishing skills again by catching a Basculin in Team Rocket's fake fishing competition.
A Super Rod made its debut in the anime in Climbing the Tower of Success! as the item Iris had to find for a scavenger hunt.
In Pokémon Origins
Fishing was featured several times during the Pokémon Origins mini-series.
Red obtained an Old Rod from the Vermilion Fishing Guru in File 2 - Cubone, and a Super Rod from the Silence Bridge Fishing Guru in File 3 - Giovanni. Soon after obtaining it, he was seen using the latter to capture himself a Psyduck.
Red was also seen fishing with the Super Rod in File 4 - Charizard, although he did so merely to get some time to think about the mysterious Pokémon in Cerulean Cave.
- In Generation I, it is possible to fish in the bottom of the statues in Gyms (except for the Saffron and Cinnabar Gyms) or any room of the Elite Four at Indigo Plateau. However, when using the Super Rod in any Gym or Elite Four room other than Cerulean Gym or Lorelei's room, the game will say "Looks like there's nothing here."
- In Generation I, the only Pokémon that can be fished out by the Old Rod is Magikarp, all of which would be Level 5.
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the "!" will occasionally appear above the partner Pokémon instead of above the player's sprite.
- The Super Rod is the only fishing rod that is obtainable in Generation V. The Old and Good Rods, while still existent in the game's programming, cannot be obtained without hacking and cannot be used; however, they can be held by a Pokémon.

US Airways has announced plans to hire 500 pilots and flight attendants next year, in order to fill anticipated job openings due to attrition and retirement.
The company announced today that the 500 would come from the ranks of employees currently on furlough, as well as new hires. The majority of the returning and new employees will be on the job by July.
"Our crew member hiring needs are being driven primarily by planned retirements and attrition, as well as international growth," said US Airways President Scott Kirby. "Today's announcement is consistent with our previously announced plan to keep our domestic capacity flat in 2011, while growing international capacity by 8 percent."
The carrier plans to fill 420 flight attendant positions and 80 pilot positions in 2011. US Airways will first offer the positions to employees currently on furlough. Once that process is completed, the airline will begin hiring new employees.
After the recall, US Airways said it will have no flight attendants on furlough, and may have up to 100 pilots remaining on furlough. When the recall and new hire process is complete, the airline said it will have approximately 4,970 active pilots and 7,300 active flight attendants.

WARREN, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities have searched eight massage parlors in a northeast Ohio city after a months-long investigation into suspected prostitution.
State investigators joined police Wednesday in the searches at massage parlors in Warren, about 50 miles southeast of Cleveland. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says agents were gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses about allegations of illegal sexual activity and other potential crimes, including human trafficking and money laundering.
No charges were immediately filed, and the parlors were not shut down.
An attorney that has represented seven massage parlors in a lawsuit over city restrictions on their business told the Tribune Chronicle the sites were not involved in human trafficking.
State investigators got involved in the case last summer after community groups and Warren police raised concerns and asked for help.

Peppermint Stripe Platter
As much as I love green in clothing this winter, it never crosses over into the decorations. The only green that makes it onto my table are the vegetables. This peppermint stripped plate would look fantastic with the rest of my holiday dishes. Christmas brunch at my house is always less formal than the Christmas dinner to follow and the stripping on the plates would keep the brunch light, airy and fun.

A BURNLEY butcher could be forced to shut his business after raiders stole thousands of pounds of meat and equipment.
Al-Madina Halal Meat, in Queen Victoria Road, had only been open for four months when burglars forced open the rear metal shutter door and stole almost £6,000 worth of stock, machinery and cash.
Business owner Mr Hussain, 36, said he has lost £1,000 in profits since the burglary, as the equipment he uses to process the meat has been stolen. He said: "I was so shocked when I came in to open up the shop and discovered the shutter door had been opened with a crowbar and the machinery had gone.
"I loaned the money from friends to open the shop in September and I'm worried about how I'll pay them back. I will do it though.
"I was so upset. I felt like crying. It's going to be very hard to get make enough money to buy new machinery.
"I might have to close the shop if I can't get it sorted very soon."
The offenders cut the wires to the alarm system, and snatched a £3,500 Omega TF32S meat mincer, a £1,780 Omega SM280S bandsaw, a £250 Fujitsu laptop, two full sheep carcasses worth £300, and £100 from the till. The thieves also lifted four bottles of Saxa salt, six packets of masala sauce and some international phone calling cards.
Sgt Martyn Holt, of Burnley Police, said: "With the amount taken, with some of the machinery weighing in excess of 50kg, we would expect there to have been more than one offender involved and a vehicle to have been used.
"This is a high value burglary and we would encourage anyone who heard or saw anything suspicious in the area between 6.30pm on Saturday and 7.50am on Sunday to call police on 101."

ORLANDO, Fla. - The burglars left no drawer or cabinet unopened when they turned one Orlando woman's apartment upside down on Thursday.
The woman doesn't want her name published because she's scared of the criminals who broke into her apartment at Venue Apartments on Central Florida Parkway in Orlando.
Her jewelry box, her roommate's laptop, cameras, and iPhone accessories gone.
The crooks hit three apartments at the complex on Thursday, and according to Orange County Sheriff's deputies, they are part of a string of apartment burglaries in the Hunters Creek area.
Investigators believe multiple people are involved, and they say all the burglaries start out the same way, with forced entry.
Residents got a letter for the management office two weeks ago, warning them about the break-ins.
"I didn't really think much of it, I thought that it was a secure place to live and that I was safe," the victim said.
Investigators say they are following up on leads, but have not made any arrests in this case.

Olympic triathlete Jonathan Brownlee has helped a newsagent in his attempt to raise £2,000 for Children in Need.
World champion Jonathan, who won a bronze in the London Olympics, was one of those attending a fundraising quiz at the Fox and Hounds in Bramhope.
He and his brother, Olympic gold medallist Alistair, both live in the village.
The quiz, in September, raised £350, and was one of four events organised by newsagent Tariq Qadeer, with the aim of reaching a £2,000 target by November 16.
Now, after the latest event – a four-mile walk which went through the village – Tariq is expecting to have raised a total of around £2,200.
The walk attracted nearly 30 people, including local MP Greg Mulholland and his family.
He said: "It was great to take part with the family in the Bramhope Winter Walk to raise money for BBC Children in Need.
"The summer walk in July was a great success and this was no different with the local community coming out in force to show their support, while enjoying a lovely walk around the village.
"Another huge thank you must go to Tariq for arranging this and for all his continued efforts in organising events across the village, raising money for so many excellent causes. I hope he meets his ambitious fundraising target."
Tariq said: "Altogether we have now raised £1,980 but there is still some more sponsorship money to come in and I am confident that by Friday the total will be around £2,200. "I would also like to thank La Boutique ladies (Byrel and Pat and their family and friends) who have supported us in every way and raised nearly £500. "Greg and his family joined us in this walk and although it was difficult with three young girls, they were all very brave and managed to complete the walk in good time for such a fantastic cause."

Kant Stool By Karim Rashid
designed by karim rashid, the kant stool is made from reinforced polypropylene with a polypropylene seat and can support up to 440 pounds. designed for contract use, the piece is actually rather utilitarian and useful and would be excellent for residential use as well. we find the kant stool has a strange resemblance to ET or, perhaps, immanuel kant- perhaps due to the minimal cantilever form. in use, we find the stool pretty interesting, as it places emphasis on the human form on it. the seats are interchangeable (allowing for multiple color mixes), and the polypropylene is treated with polygiene (antibacterial) technology. suitable for indoor or outdoor use. 100% recyclable, too.

Google makes the Dialer awesome again: this is why you want Android 4.4 KitKat
0. phoneArena posted on 18 Nov 2013, 09:24
The Google Nexus 5 hit the Play Store about two and a half weeks ago on Halloween. I was lucky enough to get mine the following Monday, so I've had a solid two weeks to mess around with the device and more importantly, time to dig into Android 4.4 KitKat. The latest update of Android is an incremental update, despite the nickname change, and doesn't offer huge new features, except one...

also which rom ? is it OmniRom ?
6. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
No, screen recording isn't supported (yet)
ART is amazing, but you lose access to root if you have it on, which is why I went back to Delvik.
17. SAYED-EJAZ (Posts: 225; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
Smurf, but i think if u are little budget oriented,you should buy 2014 flagships..
S3 is still a powerfull and capable for everything for todays need.
you just wait for next years flagships..that might be a big upgrade for you. What you say ?
And noo i will not tell this in 2014 to wait again for 2015.
19. andynaija (Posts: 982; Member since: 08 Sep 2012)
Lol just keep your S3 and get the next flagship after the Note 3. You're basically up to date already.

No, the new dialler is a mess and a backward step. My Nexus 5 instead of presenting me with a long list of my most recent calls gives me a few numbers and a load of grey boxes. Am I now expected to find some beautiful shots of all my contacts to prettify my phone? No, that is not going to happen. The first thing I now have to do when phoning someone is go straight to the recent calls list (one more tap) or all contacts (2 taps) or search. I cannot change the dialler to always start with most recent calls. Unfortunately some Android UI "enhancements" are made by people living in Googleland. And don't get me started on binning SMS for Hangouts. I have never used Hangouts and don't know anyone who does. I straightaway installed Handcent and got myself back a simple quick SMS UI.

"the Moto X soon as well (it's hard to say about the DROIDs since Verizon loves to delay updates). "
Actually, the update process has improved greatly with Verizon. Soak tests invites are going out on the VZW Moto X. The recent update saw VZW Moto X getting the update a week after the other carriers started getting it. Then a week after that, the DROIDs got the update. And Motorola was quick in confirming that the DROIDs will get 4.4 soon.
18. rabidhunter (Posts: 90; Member since: 05 Jul 2013)
Score, and confirmed, the recent soak test invites bring KitKat goodness to Verizon Moto X phones! That means that the DROIDs aren't far behind.

When did Google had an awesome dialler?!
HTC yes, but Google never had an awesome dialer.

Except the new 4.4 is anything but incremental especially if you have a phone that has ram and memory problems.

I haven´t uses 4.4 yet, but I think that it will be remembered for it´s ART
15. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2720; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I doubt that because most people would point to Google Now as the big addition of Android 4.1, not Project Butter. ART and Butter are things only a small group of people pay attention to. Consumer features always get remembered more than performance boosts.

Yep, I haven´t thought that way...

Google has never used the term outwardly, but at least internally it seems to have been playing with that name:

Beautiful I hope Samsung changes the dialer on their touchwiz ui (esp on the note II) I dislike how it doesn't fill the screen unlike the S3/S4 (there's like a thick border around the buttons) and the appearance is not very appealing anymore.

I'm loving the new dialer on my Nexus 5.

On my Nexus 4 I installed the official 4.4, then installed the apk for Google Experience Launcher. The article states touchless commands won't work on non-Nexus 5's, but it does.

on receiving a phone number in hangouts, when I click it it opens in the new dialer. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an easy way to send an sms from the dialer, I can only call it. That is an unfortunate limitation in 4.4 hangouts-dialer integration at the moment :-(
Or am I missing something?

You could have knocked Derek and Sandra Shewan down with a feather when a rare white bird swooped onto their patio.
At first they though the starling they christened Snowy was an albino but they then spotted it did not have pink eyes.
The couple, from Hemlock Avenue, Huntington, discovered the bird was a Leucistic starling, sightings of which are occasionally reported in national wildlife magazines.
Experts say Leucism is a very unusual condition whereby the pigmentation cells in an animal or bird fail to develop properly.
This can result in unusual white patches appearing on the animal, or, more rarely, completely white creatures.
Retired Royal Mail sorting office worker Derek, 66, said: "From what I have read it is more rare than an albino.
"We have hundreds of starlings and blackbirds. We feed them currants and sultanas and they keep coming back."
His wife Sandra, 56, took an immediate fancy to the new arrival who she named Snowy.
It is too early to say if the bird is a he or she because it is still sporting its juvenile plumage.
Derek added: "We spotted it eight to ten days ago and he is still coming back. It just dropped down onto the patio where all the currants were.
"We have a rich array of birds. We did have a spotted woodpecker three years ago. But this is the rarest I think."

Some people are constipated for weeks, months, or years, and others
have bouts of constipation that come and go over long periods of time. Chronic
constipation may have many causes, including:
If you have chronic or recurrent constipation, see your doctor to make sure your constipation is not caused by an underlying
disease. If you have been checked by a doctor, be aware of new or
more intense discomfort or changes in the size, shape, or hardness of your
stools. If constipation does not improve after a few days of home treatment,
talk to your doctor.

NATIONAL Minimum Wage enforcement teams working for HM Revenue and Customs forced a South-West car dealer to hand out more than £10,000 he had underpaid three workers.
A retailer in the region also had to pay back a similar amount after charging workers for uniforms.
Jennie Granger, director of enforcement and compliance at HMRC, said: "Paying the National Minimum Wage is not a choice – it's the law. HMRC will continue to ensure that workers get at least the wage to which they are legally entitled.
"Where an employer ignores these rules, we will ensure that any arrears are paid out in full and the employer is fined. Rogue employers be warned – we will find you and you will pay."
In 2013/14 the Wales and South-West team identified £964,025 in arrears and in addition issued 91 financial penalties.

• pensive •
Pronunciation: pen-siv • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Deep in thought, meditative, absorbed in wistful, often melancholic, thinking.
Notes: This word may be used without hardship. It comes with a standard noun, pensiveness (no respectable dictionary has yet dared to offer pensivity), and an adverb, again, the standard pensively.
In Play: We don't usually attribute thought to animals, but anytime any animate object is perfectly still, we assume it is deep in thought: "Your dog looks very pensive; no doubt pondering his next meal." Of course, there are times to be pensive and times that are less suitable: "The moment I ask you to marry me is no time to become pensive."
Word History: Today's Good Word began its life with a Fickle S attached to it: (s)pen- "to draw, stretch, spin". The S was retained in the Germanic languages. Consider, for example, English and all the words it developed from this source: spindle, span, spider—all originally processes of drawing out or stretching. Latin dispensed with the initial S to produce pendere "to hang, weigh", something also associated with stretching, and pensare "to weigh". Just as weigh in English is associated with thinking (He weighed his decision carefully), the Latin word picked up this meaning, too. This allowed the French, who inherited this word, to contrive pensif, which English promptly borrowed. By the way, Latin created another word from the PIE root, pondus "a weight", which went into the making of pondere "to weigh". English borrowed the first word and turned it into pound, and also the second one, which it used in the weightier sense of ponder. (Before we become pensive thinking over today's thoughtful Good Word, let me thank Lew Jury for suggesting it.)

Hubertus von Hohenlohe, a Mexican Olympic skier from Austria who is skiing in the Sochi games, has announced plans to ski in a skin tight mariachi suit, pictured below. Born to German nobility in Mexico, von Hohenlohe had a number of a countries he could choose from to race for internationally, but ended up going with Mexico.
"In the beginning, I remember that I was considering racing for Liechtenstein because I have a Liechtenstein passport," von Hohenlohe said. "In the end, it seemed ideal that I do it for a country where I could control my own moves."
One of those moves, it seems, is wearing this interesting, Mexico-repping mariachi suit.

Despite the best of intentions with the resolution that the Chiefland Citizen will be on the streets and in post boxes as it has always been, we are falling short of that goal.
Recently, our press was mothballed. Printing, inserting (where we put in all those wonderful coupons) and addressing of the Citizen was moved to Crystal River where a more modern press can print a better quality product.
As with all changes, this has not been easy. When the first issue came out late and we missed the Chiefland Post Office deadline, I wrote on this website and in our reader newsletter that it would not be happening in the future. The future is now and it is happening a third week in a row.
Please know that everyone is working diligently to overcome the hurdles and get the newspaper out and into your hands on time.
Today the newspaper will not start distribution to newsracks until after 4:30 p.m. Because the paper is arriving several hours behind the post office deadline for Thursday distribution, it may not hit post boxes on Thursday morning.
I feel your frustration. I apologize for the delay.

UF's Elam first-team All-American
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 12:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 12:26 p.m.
One of Matt Elam's rewards for a big 2012 season is a big honor.
The Florida junior safety was named a first-team Associated Press All-American on Tuesday. He is the Gators' first first-team AP All-American since Chas Henry in 2010 and the first UF defensive back to make the first team since Joe Haden in 2009.
Three other Gators were named to the AP third team — junior defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, record-setting senior place-kicker Caleb Sturgis and sophomore punter Kyle Christy.
Elam, a true junior from West Palm Beach Dwyer, emerged as the Gators' biggest playmaker on defense this season. He intercepted four passes, recorded 65 tackles, including 10 for losses, had one sack, four pass breakups and forced one fumble.
Elam is among the nine SEC players on the AP first team.
Elam is one of four Florida juniors contemplating an early departure to the NFL. The others are Floyd, tight end Jordan Reed and outside linebacker Jelani Jenkins.
Floyd gave the UF defensive line an imposing inside presence this season, recording 41 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, one sack, six quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and one blocked kick. He is the first UF defensive lineman recognized on the AP All-America team since Alex Brown in 2001.
Sturgis, UF's all-time field goal leader, made 23 of 27 field-goal attempts this season and led the Gators in scoring with 101 points. He was a finalist for the Lou Groza Award for the second consecutive season.
Christy has been one of the Gators' most consistent weapons this season and consistently flipped field position in UF's favor with his booming punts. He averaged 46.10 yards a punt, sixth in the nation, and was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award.
Coach Will Muschamp said after the victory over Florida State that the Gators would not have won 11 games this season if not for the stellar play of their two kickers — Christy and Sturgis.

Keep an eye out for Romeo if you're tuning in to watch some of the early Westminster breed competitions online.
He's a comer.
Earning his way to become the No. 1 German pinscher in the nation by the end of 2012, Romeo - formally known as Bronze GCH Clefell's Romeo - will make his Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show debut this year.
But if you live in Torrance, you may have already seen Romeo and his owner, Magno Salva, taking their morning runs in Wilson Park.
"You can't help but get nervous," said Salva, a health care consulting recruiter who lives in Torrance and will handle Romeo in the ring himself rather than hire a professional handler.
The goal, he said, is to "have fun with your dog and know that you did your best, that you tried your hardest."
It's a splurge - neither Romeo nor his owner have ever been to Westminster. They've shown mostly in the West to avoid the costs of plane travel.
Among those who will be watching how they do from California is Gloria Henderson, Salva's conformation handling instructor.
"Magno is a natural, he moves very smoothly with his dog," said Henderson of her former student from the Lomita Obedience Training Club. Romeo, she said, "has done just exceptionally well."
Romeo, the second German pinscher Salva's entered in the dog show, comes from a litter born in Finland and is just 21 months old. Salva's biggest worry is that he'll do something puppylike - or just be unfocused in the ring.
The hardest thing he's had to learn about handling his own dog in the show ring is confidence.
"Your confidence will transfer through the lead" to the dog, he said. "I'm still learning. ... A lot of it is mental and psychological."
As for Romeo, he loves being in the ring, Salva said.
"He's very happy, he walks around with confidence when he's in the ring, his head is up and his tail is up."
How will they do at Westminster?
"I think we have a good chance," he said. "I think we'll be noticed."
German pinschers (eight, including Romeo, are entered in the show) will appear in Ring 5 at noon Tuesday (9 a.m. PST). Watch a live stream of the judging at www.westminsterkennelclub.org/ or by downloading the free Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Starting a new blog is always difficult. There are so many things I want to talk about at once. Looking back at the last five years of blogging the only thing more difficult then starting a blog seems to be maintaining the blog.
So why another blog? This is actually not my personal blog (you can find that over here) but the blog of the Adobe Genesis team. I envisioned Genesis together with Steve Yankovich (an Adobe Entrepreneur in Residence) about 9 months ago and since then we build a small team to bring this vision to the market.
So what is the goal of Genesis? With Genesis we try to significantly improve the daily work of information workers in the enterprise. I have been working for the last 15 years on various enterprise software solutions. At Adobe I helped building the partnership with SAP and deliver SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe. During the last years I investigated how new technologies like Adobe Flex and AIR can improve the productivity and usability of enterprise applications. Talking with many customers it became apparent that end users continue to be frustrated about the many information silos and that useful internal information, like Business Intelligence data is not being utilized because it is to hard to access it. Additionally the state of collaboration tools in most enterprises is still limited to email and voicemail. While I believe that the rise of tools like wikis, forums and blogs (I use all of those internally as well as externally) are helping to bridge teams and facilitate conversations between customers and companies, they are still hard to adopt for the regular business user (I am sure the tools will improve gradually). Also I am convinced that there is another major white space today that is not being covered by those tools: A workspace on my desktop, which allows me to mash-up applications and documents in a business context (e.g. a specific customer deal I am working on), share that workspace with others (e.g. sales engineering and legal team) and then collaborate asynchronously or in real time. In a nutshell that's what we want to deliver with Genesis. The first release of Genesis will be a free AIR based client and a hosted service which facilitates collaboration. Since there is no expensive or complex server infrastructure, business users will be able to use Genesis without the involvement of their IT department.
By the way the timing of this first blog post is no coincidence. Adobe just released Acrobat.com, which is clearly an important milestone for Adobe's transition from software to SaaS (more about it here). Genesis actually uses the real-time collaboration API's of Acrobat.com to provide seamless application sharing within the Genesis workspace. It is getting late but before I leave you here is a link to a demo of an early Genesis prototype. I promise I will record a new demo as soon as I get my hands on the latest build.
As a team we agreed that we want to involve our customers and partners early during the development of release 1. We have already talked to many companies and people in 1:1 meetings and private webcasts. This blogs makes the conversation public and we are excited to get your feedback and keep you in the loop about our progress.

Don't Get Caught with Your Digital Pants Down – Add a Watermark in Acrobat
Nobody wants to get caught with their "digital pants" down. Unfortunately there may be times when you accidently send out a document to the "big cheeses" while it is still in draft form. Stamping "Draft" on every page of a document can help save you the embarrassment of sending the wrong file…and possibly your job!
If you choose to use the stamp tool you will have to tediously visit each page of the document. Imagine having a 50 page document that needs a "Draft" stamp on each page…not much fun. However, adding a "Draft" watermark to the document would be far more efficient method of adding the document's review status.
1. Open the document in Adobe Acrobat
2. click Document > Watermark> Add
3. Type "Draft" in the text area
4. Adjust the opacity of the text using the Opacity slider
5. Add a bit of Rotation using the Rotation radio buttons
6. Click OK
To remove the watermark click Document > Watermark>Remove

Although he's been on an offensive tear during Spring Training, the Mets have sent Ike Davis down to the minors to continue his evolution. The future starting first baseman had a .480 batting average, with three home runs, three doubles and 10 RBI in just 25 at-bats.
Many think that with those numbers, Davis should be the first baseman on Opening Day. Even though Jerry Manuel insists the battle is between Daniel Murphy and Mike Jacobs, it's almost guaranteed that Murphy will be the starting first baseman as they've devoted too much work and effort into him. Neither Jacobs nor Murphy have been hitting as well as Davis, but Murphy has the better range.
I have no problem with Davis starting in the minors. He hasn't had any at-bats on the AAA level, so I'm willing to spend the time on him to see some better pitching. If Murphy starts to stink up the joint, then they can always bring him up later.
What are your thoughts about starting Murphy over Jacobs or Davis?
Other moves:
Shawn Riggans and Jolbert Cabrera also were sent down to the minors. Jason Pridie, Nick Evans and Tobi Stoner all were optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.

NEW ZEALAND - A New Zealand mother has sparked worldwide outrage after she left her sleeping baby alone in a car while she shopped and posted a note to passersby.
Shoppers spotted the newborn in the parked car Saturday and snapped photos, according to the New Zealand Herald.
A note was left with the child that read: "My mum's in doing the shopping, call her if I need anything." The mother's phone number was also left on the note.
Instead of calling police, the bystanders called the mother and waited until she returned to her car. Witnesses said the baby looked healthy.
The photo sparked outrage online after it was posted on Facebook.
Police said the mother could face charges, but they haven't received any reports of the incident.

The ower, Ismini Botonaki, who speaks good english, lives between the guest house and the beach apartments and is always there to take care of her guests and assist them to small holiday problems.
There are three properties:
The Guest House, which sleeps 4-5 (75 sm), and two Beach Apartments, which both sleep 3-4 (45 sm each).
All have: ● air conditioning and ● satellite TV (only free to air programms from HotBird and Astra 1), ● outside eating spaces, ● and sun loungers ● and umbrellas for use either in the garden or on the beach.
There is also a playground for children.
Kalives is a wonderful destination in its own right, and makes an ideal base for exploring un-spoilt western Crete.
The long sandy Blue Flag beach is edged with trees offering day-long shade and ringed with enticing cafes and taverns.
A stay at Ismini Apartments, is especially relaxing for families with young children. There is a travel cot, bed rail and highchair. The terraces offer shade all day, and the garden (partial shade in the afternoon) is a fantastic space for playing games. The beach -particularly at the very sheltered eastern end- is perfect for small children. The shops are within easy reach of even the littlest legs. And for those who prefer to linger over their food once the children are in bed, but who don't want to cook, next door local taverns will bring the food to your terrace!.
