Watching the Detectives: Will Probe of Cop's Cases Extend to Prosecutors?
A review of 50 Brooklyn murder prosecutions could free men from prison and ruin the reputation of the former detective who helped make the cases. Some insist the prosecutors who worked alongside the accused detective should not be spared scrutiny.
Two are now New York State judges. Several others are accomplished lawyers at some of the city's more respected firms. Four have risen to be senior officials in the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, one of the largest municipal law enforcement agencies in the country.
These people – and likely dozens of others – are linked in at least one, suddenly noteworthy way: they prosecuted cases over the last two decades with Louis Scarcella, a former Brooklyn homicide detective whose work, and possible misconduct, has become the focus of intense public scrutiny. Charles J. Hynes, the current top prosecutor in Brooklyn, has ordered a formal review of 50 cases that Scarcella investigated, an enormous undertaking that was prompted by Scarcella's alleged role in wrongly convicting a Brooklyn man of murder more than 20 years ago.
The stakes for Scarcella are obvious and serious: a possibly ruined reputation; exposure to possible litigation; concerns about his personal safety (he and his house have already received some formal protection from the New York City Police Department.)
To date, Hynes has refused to say explicitly whether his inquiry will examine the work done by the prosecutors who worked alongside Scarcella, accepting his evidence, making use of the confessions he obtained, vouching for the witnesses he helped locate and interview.
In emailed responses to questions from ProPublica, Hynes's spokesman, Jerry Schmetterer, said that the investigation is "confidential." "We'll go wherever the investigation leads us," Schmetterer said.
One person familiar with the inquiry said Hynes's had enlisted a panel of former judges and lawyers to assist in the review, but it is unclear what precise role they will play.
But legal experts, defense lawyers for the men Scarcella helped incarcerate, and Hynes's political rivals have all said that any investigation of Scarcella's cases that does not extend to the prosecutors who worked with him would be fundamentally suspect.
Certainly, should additional people be freed as a result of Hynes's probe, lawsuits would follow, efforts that doubtless would seek to explore the role of prosecutors in any tainted Scarcella case. Already, the one man freed because of concerns about Scarcella's work – David Ranta, who served 23 years in state prison for the murder of a rabbi in Brooklyn – has filed a notice that he intends to pursue a malicious prosecution lawsuit.
Laurie Levenson, a former assistant U.S. Attorney who now teaches criminal law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said that if Hynes truly intends to conduct a thorough investigation, his current and former prosecutors should be scrutinized just as much as Scarcella.
"Frankly, there could be plenty of blame to go around," Levenson said.
The number of current and former prosecutors whose handling of cases could be put under the microscope is formidable. Scarcella was a very active and aggressive detective working Brooklyn at a time when there were hundreds of murders a year in the borough. And the length of his career – 26 years – means that he worked with succeeding generations of prosecutors.
The two prosecutors who tried the case against Ranta have gone on to prominent jobs. Suzanne Mondo is now a Brooklyn judge; Barry Schreiber is a respected defense lawyer. Neither returned calls for comment on the Ranta case.
Scarcella, in recent interviews with New York reporters, has cited the credentials of those prosecutors and others he worked with as evidence that he could not have done what he has been accused of – framing defendants, concocting confessions, coercing witnesses. He said in one interview that Schreiber was thrilled with his work in the Ranta case.
Scarcella's partner for 12 years, Stephen Chmil, said that prosecutors were aware of their every move. Chmil said he and Scarcella regularly apprised prosecutors of their routine police work, notifying them of arrests, identification procedures, suspect line-ups, and sharing with them their notes of interviews.
"They knew what we were doing with the witnesses," Chmil said. "There was no secret stuff that wasn't turned over. Whatever we did, they knew what we were doing."
The role and responsibility of prosecutors in their work with detectives has been the subject of considerable debate as, with each succeeding year, the examples of wrongful convictions has grown. A prosecutor's mandate -- to win convictions or to determine the truth – too often gets confused or clouded, experts say.
Eugene O'Donnell, a former New York police officer and prosecutor in Queens and Brooklyn who now teaches at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, told ProPublica that prosecutors often avoid asking too many questions because they don't want to risk weakening their case.
"Only on TV do these cases stand up on their own; the reality is they are usually held together with a string," O'Donnell said. "If you're trying to make a case against a guilty person you don't want to pull too hard on that string and have the whole thing collapse. The more you know, the less sanguine you can be. It's a dirty system, it's an unsavory system: built from the bottom-up with troubling tactics and techniques, born in coercion and deception."
Bennett Gershman, a professor at Pace University Law School and an expert in prosecutorial misconduct, summarized his view of a prosecutor's top priority – the truth -- in an article in the Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics.
"The prosecutor's duty to the truth arises from several sources," Gershman wrote. "The most important source is the prosecutor's role as a minister of justice. In this role, the prosecutor has the overriding responsibility not simply to convict the guilty but to protect the innocent. The duty to truth also derives from the prosecutor's constitutional obligation not to use false evidence or to suppress material evidence favorable to the defendant. The duty to truth also arises from various ethical strictures that require prosecutors to have confidence in the truth of the evidence before bringing or maintaining criminal charges. The duty is found as well in the prosecutor's domination of the criminal justice system and his virtual monopoly of the fact-finding process."
The Legal Aid Society has been given a list of 20 of Scarcella's cases that involved their clients, and it has begun to pull together the documentary record.
"In our experience with cases of wrongful convictions, over many years and in all five boroughs, there are elements of misconduct by the police and elements of misconduct by prosecutors," said Steven Banks, the Legal Aid Society's chief attorney. "That's why we for years have been calling for independent oversight of all prosecutors."
Many of the prosecutors who worked with Scarcella attended suspect line-ups along with him; they accepted the confessions he obtained, and they ultimately decided to take people Scarcella arrested to trial. In the courtroom, they vouched for the integrity of Scarcella's evidence and won convictions. Then, when defendants in some of the cases fought their convictions on appeal, prosecutors denied wrongdoing and enjoyed the professional benefits of victory.
Some observers – both critics of Hynes and defense lawyers eager for his review to be aggressive and efficient – have been frustrated at the lack of details Hynes has provided about how the inquiry is being conducted, and they have questioned if he has the will and the resources to do such an epic and potentially troubling review.
The group of prosecutors who either worked directly with Scarcella or who oversaw the work of the office's homicide bureau includes Lance Ogiste, who currently serves as counsel to Hynes, and Anne Gutmann, who has the title of executive district attorney.
Ogiste worked with Scarcella on a 1997 case that involved the tragic murder of a 4-year-old girl. According to the defendant, Sundhe Moses, Scarcella rousted him from bed, dragged him to a precinct, slapped him, yelled at him, and choked him until he signed a bogus confession. He's now serving a 15-year-to-life sentence.
Gutmann prosecuted a 1991 murder case against Derrick Hamilton based primarily on the testimony of one eyewitness who has since recanted and alleged that Scarcella coached her on what to say at trial.
In another case -- a high-profile 1996 murder and arson prosecution -- one of three defendants said Scarcella elicited a false confession from him by banging his head against a locker, giving him a cut above the eye. At trial, the defendant's lawyer, Ron Kuby, said "after that kind of treatment, I think he was ready to confess to any crime in the city."
That case was tried by Joseph Alexis, a 22-year veteran of the office who now heads the Rackets Division, and Jonathan Frank, who finished his career as an executive assistant Brooklyn D.A. in 1999 and now works as a defense lawyer.
In each of these cases it's not clear what the prosecutors knew about Scarcella's efforts to persuade witnesses to cooperate and defendants to testify. Requests to speak with the current or former prosecutors were declined.
For his part, Scarcella denies the allegations against him in full.
"I have never, never, never fabricated one letter of a confession in my life," Scarcella said. "It never happened in my presence and I would've never allowed that to happen. I never physically manhandled or abused any defendant in any shape or form. I always treated my defendants well."
Those who, day in and day out, handled murder cases when Scarcella was at his busiest also includes John O'Mara. O'Mara was Deputy Chief of the homicide unit when Scarcella worked the Ranta case. And he later served as the top prosecutor in the unit. Hynes's spokesman would not say what O'Mara's responsibility would have been for decisions made in individual murder cases.
As it happens, O'Mara is today the head of Hynes's Conviction Integrity Unit, and the man who, at least initially, directed the Scarcella investigation.

Some years ago,a group of black teens were charged and convicted of assaulting a woman who was jogging in Central Park! mAfter some years in prison,DNA evidence freed them! The cops who arrested and helped convict them still said that they were guilty even though DNA proved otherwise! In a cops mind,once a perp,always a perp!
I hate articles like this. Lots of innuendos and few specifics, which cant be proven.
I'm going to go out a limb and say that, no, the prosecutors will not become the subjects of investigation. Even if the laws didn't seem to be written to discourage investigation into prosecutors, the only people who can do it are prosecutors, and I'd guess they'd be a little hesitant to set that kind of precedent.
John o'Mara is a fine Attorney and a person of integrity.O'mara will investigate these cases fairly and Hynes will do the right thing.This article and many others are a hatchet job by many in the press.Hynes has been an innovated and dedicated District Attorney.He has introduced innovative programs during his tenure and deserves credit for such.Hynes has on occasion been let down by staff members but what Chief Executive has not.What is going on is an attempt to drive a dedicated Public servant from office.These hatchet jobs are unwarranted and in poor taste.
In the state I live in, if you drive the getaway car (prosecuters) you are look upon by the law the same as if you did the armed robbery (dirty cops).
Until people in positions of authority over the people are held to a higher standard, as in criminal prosecution for wrongdoing, we will get more of the same. Some, especially at the federal level merely resign the post and everything is forgiven. This is wrong.
There are many good, dedicated people in law enforcement and in the court systems in this country. It grieves them to know that certain things are going on that are not the way they are supposed to be.
Anyone who doubts this is afraid of the dark. It is too much trouble to find the real perpetrator and getting a patsy pleases the public by getting quick results. The system is morally bankrupt and most all attorneys know it. Often they are part of the deception. It can be anyone from the police officers, the prosecutor, the judge and the defense attorney. It can involve collusion between them. This is the real world. Just be thankful if you are not one of their victims. The prisons hold tens of thousands innocent victims. It is a money machine and drains the victims money and the tax payers money. It also creates a step for the prosecutor to either keep his job or to be elected to a more powerful one by the publicity in higher profile cases.
They will not be happy until they get a record of something on everyone and then they can be manipulated more easily.
Sorry but there is no good news on the injustice system.
The writer has a very poor understanding of the role of an Assistant DA in a NYS criminal prosecution and attempts to cast suspicion in a very irresponsible manner. The DA handling a case is very unlikely to be at the precinct at the time of arrest, would never participate in a lineup identification (thereby making themselves a witness and unable to prosecute the case] and very rarely in any part of recording a confession.. ( the only confession any DA would partipcate would be a second confession taken entirely on video tape never alone and almost always taken NOT by the DA who prosecutes the case at trial.
The allegations against this detective , almost entirely involving actions [such as beating a suspect until he writes a written confession or telling an eyewitness where in the line up a suspect appears are all actions that generally occur hours before any prosecutor is informed of anything.
If the author here had actually learned how cases are handled, he might have been a lot slower to smear peoples names and a lot closer to providing insights and analysis of areas in the criminal justice system that may need changes or adjustment and even identified truly rogue DAs but instead the author takes the simple and easy approach so likely good people are damaged and the truth eludes us all.
Prosecutors have all ready been granted immunity.

Perception and Practice: An Investigation of Urban Teachers' Perceived and Observed Teaching Dispositions
by Carla Bernard Miller
Over the past thirty years, the term teacher dispositions has quickly become commonplace in the field of teacher education. Unlike other well-established domains of teacher education, like knowledge and skills, the evolving concept continues to challenge those mandated to identify, nurture, and assess the dispositions of teachers. The purpose of this study is to continue the conversation on teacher dispositions by examining connections between perceived dispositions and dispositions-in-action. Specifically, this study will compare how elementary classroom teachers working in high-needs urban schools perceive their teaching dispositions with the dispositions evidenced in their classroom practices. Teachers working in high-needs, urban schools face unique challenges and teacher education programs designed to prepare and support them need evidence-based understanding of teaching dispositions in order to design curriculum that fosters effective practices critical to the success of all children in urban classrooms. Using Argyris and Schon's theory of action (1974) as a conceptual framework, I will identify the teaching dispositions of each participant and illuminate consistencies or inconsistencies that may exist between how teachers working in high-needs urban classrooms perceive their teaching dispositions and the teaching dispositions that are exhibited through their behaviors during classroom instruction. A multiple case study design, using data from a teaching disposition index, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, will provide the appropriate framework to help understand the varied perspectives involved in the study and delineate the process of identifying teacher dispositions. Illuminating relationships that may exist between perceived dispositions and dispositions-in-action of teachers in high-needs, urban classrooms will continue the dialogue on teacher dispositions by adding to the limited research that exists regarding the teaching dispositions of teachers working in urban classrooms and facilitating dispositional growth to increase teacher effectiveness.

Comments about LightSnake USB Microphone cable:
This cable is actually a VERY good cable, which is durable for the most part. The end of the cable that goes into the microphone became loose on mine after approximately one year, causing the mixer, xbox, or computer to not recognize the microphone. At its price, I would expect better durability, though sound quality was very good!

This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
This module is a set of base component and connectors to integrate Doctrine ORM with Drupal Core. The Doctrine Object Relational Mapper sits on top of a powerful database abstraction layer (DBAL). One of its key features is the option to write database queries in a proprietary object oriented SQL dialect called Doctrine Query Language (DQL), inspired by Hibernates HQL.
This module provides integration with Doctrine ORM, giving developers a powerful alternative to SQL that maintains flexibility without requiring unnecessary code duplication.
Designed with a few goal in mind:
- Maintainability: the software will evolves with the Doctrine library and with versions of Drupal, the code base is written to cope with a changed environment. Test suit is the same quality as the software itself, allowing the isolation of defect for further correction and ensure new requirements will not break anything, thus, making future maintenance easier.
- Dependability: it does what it claims, and is trustworthy. The code is optimized to run for limited resources computers with special care to cache optimizations or any form of I/O which are costly.
- Usability: Developers can save and load Plain Old PHP Object (POPO) with SQL without the needing of extending a base class or implementing an interface. Default mapping is done through annotations, but as the Entity API connector and Field API connector, you can add more driver to understand your conceptual data model.
- Entity API Mapping Driver: Reverse engineering from hook_schema() and hook_entity_info(). The mapping driver will generates class entities from an entity declaring a 'entity class' in their info hook.
- Field API Mapping Driver: Reverse engineering from hook_field_info(). The mapping driver will generates class entities from any fields declared.
- Generation of entites: By reading the schema API and the 'fields' meta-data, the driver is able to generate annotated entitites.
- Foreign key support: the 'foreign keys' meta-data allows the driver to generate association mapping between entities. The reverse engineering capability is able to detect a OneToOne, OneToMany, and ManyToMany relationship through join tables.
It contains a set of connectors which integrates drupal modules:
- Entity API: TODO: description.
- Field API: TODO: description.

Napster(Emphasis mine) Link
What a pain. There's no way to cancel online, so I called the cancellation number (800.839.4210) and waited on hold for about 20 minutes listening to messages like "Did you know that your Napster subscription lets you access over 5 million tracks? Please hold, and a customer service representative will be with you shortly."
A woman came on the line and asked me a bunch of questions (Was this my first call? Could I confirm my email? Is there a phone number on which she could call me back in case something goes wrong with the call? Can I hold again?). Granted, this is two days after Christmas, but still, I wasn't too happy at how long this was taking.
When she took me off hold again, I told her I wanted to cancel because 2007 was the year 3 of the major labels started selling music without DRM. Back on hold.
She came back -- presumably after consulting a manager or the internet to find out what DRM is -- and then responded, "I don't understand, because all of our music contains DRM." Back on hold. This time, I told her I wanted to cancel because the files were DRMed, and she finally canceled my subscription.

You'll find me almost always in a good mood. I think it's important to put a focus on doing whatever makes you happy in life. I've been pretty successful following that belief and it seems to bring out the goofball in me.
Also a big fan of music and life shows. I used to think it was best to go to a show when you already knew the bands and the songs, but now I'm also having fun going to shows where I've never heard the band before.
I like the outdoors so I spend a lot of time riding my bike around Bayshore, walking around aimlessly (non-zombie style), or having a drink at an outdoor bar. I've been taking tennis classes too...not all that good yet, but it's a lot of fun.
I love the indoors as well. Going to the gym is always satisfying. I also love playing video games and surfing the internet. I am pretty much always on Reddit. I like to watch Adventure Time and anime when I can too.
I think I am pretty good at finding the best balance of seriousness and goofiness. My hidden ability is being able to not step on sidewalk cracks.
Tron Legacy, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Dredd
William Control, Aiden, Dommin, Birthday Massacre, Crystal Castles, Blackmill, VNV Nation, The Knife, Innerpartysystem, STS9, and Blaqk Audio are some of my favorite bands. I also like 90s pop, 80s, classic rock, power ballads, The "Lady in Red" song.
Turkey, orange chicken and white rice, mac and cheese, cheeseburgers, Slim #4 at Jimmy Johns.
Think random moments of awkwardness are entertaining.
I like people that are passionate about something in particular. Even if it's the exact opposite of my ideals, I think people that feel strongly about something are very interesting.
You have a treasure map.

AGS brought me closer to the world, and to those multinational perspectives that always tended to evade a simple islander. My own ideals were tested and defended on a daily basis, as I was challenged by almost everyone, from German, Russian and Ghanaian classmates to Ambassadors and professors, who have time and again embraced the practical and academic realms of life. Paris' hard-knock life style, AGS' academic structure and my own drive to succeed have definitely provided me with the foundation to give working life the pursuit it deserves.


text: Yesterday was the first time since the end of June that the temperature in the region reached a daytime high above 30. The humidity was a key ingredient in the thunderstorm risk across the region, which was in the path of a cold front passing through. That prompted severe thunderstorm watches to be issued all across southern Ontario, but atmospheric conditions prevented the formation of major storms in the southwest. Temperatures have returned to more seasonal values for the remainder of this week.

The public will go to the polls August 1, a date which was the main point of controversy for the 19 member legislature. The legislatures voted along party lines with republicans voting yes and the democrats voting no. The only democrat to vote yes was David Denenberg, a democrat from Merrick.

Nilsson spent the past four seasons with Lulea HF of the Swedish Elite League. The 21 year old had an impressive season putting up 1.92 goals against average and a 9.18 save percentage in 31 games.
Nilsson was a third round draft pick back in 2009 and joins a goaltending core that includes Al Montoya, Kevin Poulin, MikkoKoskinen, EvgeniNabakov, and Rick Dipietro.
Here are some highlights from the newly signed goaltender:
The Islander captain gave a 15 minute long address to the media, family and friends who made their way to the long Island Marriot. "I feel so grateful and fulfilled for what the sport [of hockey] has given me," Weight said in the early portion of his speech. He had to stop several times throughout the address as he tried to regain composer as he said goodbye to the game he loves.
Prior to Doug Weight reading his retirement address to the media a tribute video was played for him honoring his 19 year run in the NHL.
Weight read through a statement full of highlights and memories through his NHL Career. Reminiscing back to his first game with New York Rangers, how he tripped and fell into the Washington Capitals bench during game six of the Stanley Cup playoffs. He talked about what was deemed the "shopping cart trade."When both teams were set to play each other Weight was traded from NY to Edmonton. His stuffed was placed into a shopping cart and pushed down the hall to the Oilers dressing room. That story received a nice laugh.
Weight continued to discuss his career and his fond memories of the time he spent in St. Louis with the Blues. Weight chocked up again when he began discussing his time with the Carolina Hurricanes, whom he won a Stanley Cup with.
"I want to thank the owner of Carolina, Peter Karmanos, and especially thank general manager Jim Rutherford for the opportunity he gave to me," Weight said.
Again Weight choked up as he began to discuss his time with Islanders organization. "I immediately recognized the dedication of Charles [Wang] and Garth [Snow] towards this team and their mission to win was something I was honored to be a part of," said Weight. "I'm so fortunate to have this experience at the end of my career and to be the captain of the four time Stanley Cup Champion Islanders team."
Weight continued, "I was especially fortunate to be around this group of young, talented players. Watching them mature as NHL players and people is something I wouldn't trade for anything.
Weight concluded his speech by Thanking his family and friends for their support through his career.
Here is the full audio of Doug Weights address.
Here is part 2 of his address.
Charles Wang and Garth Snow both made statements as well, here is the audio from their statements.
Charles Wang
From Captain to Coach
To no one's surprise Doug Weight was named an assistant coach and special assistant for the New York Islanders.
During the 10-11 season Weight spent five games behind the Islanders bench coaching the power play, which it seems will be one of his main priorities as an assistant coach. Weight would be and is a natural fit for the position due to his leadership skills and how he has helped the young players over his tenure with Islanders.
Weight will also be a huge help on the management side. He will be helping Islanders GM Garth Snow with making management decisions over the course of the offseason and one could assume he will be helping attract free agents. Weight is a huge believer in what Snow and Charles Wang are building on Long Island. He and his family have also fell in love with Long Island itself, making it their permanent residents, and could show prospective draft picks or free agents the area and what it has to offer.
Here is all the audio from the media scrums and Q & A session.
Here is the Q & A session.
Doug Weight Media Scrum, they're in two parts.
Garth Snow Media Scrum
Billy Guerin Media Scrum
John Tavares Media Scrum
The day started off with union workers, business owners and leaders, and Islanders fans gathered on the steps in front of the legislature to rally in favor of the referendum, the creation of much needed jobs and keeping the Islanders on Long Island. Isles owner Charles Wang addressed the crowd along with isles great and color commentator Butch Goring, County Executive Ed Mangano, Isles GM Garth Snow, and other community and business leaders.
Dee Karl, aka Islanders 7th women, has some great coverage from today's rally.
The rally ended and people filed into the legislature for the hearing on the referendum. In a last minute schedule change presiding Officer Peter Schmitt announced a vote on the controversial redistricting plan. The sudden change caused controversy and had democratic legislators crying foul over how it was handled. The debate over the redistricting plan pushed the hearing for the referendum back until 1:38 pm. The legislative meeting began around 10 am.
The amount of time that it took to get to the hearing over the arena referendum forced many people to leave, including Randi Marshall of Newsday.
Once the arena portion got underway it was the usual political dog and pony show. County Executive Ed Mangano gave his presentation to legislature and then the public had its' say. Everyone who spoke was in favor of the arena referendum and supportive of Mangano's plan overall. The only negative comment made was by Lisa Tyson of the Long Island Progressive coalition, who felt there was still not enough information to support the arena plan.
From the language at the hearing it's not a matter of if the public will be allowed to vote on the referendum, it seems as though all the legislators were in favor of having the vote, but when the vote will take place.
The majority of the debate over the referendum vote was the timing in which it would presented to the public to vote on. The target date is August 1, but some legislators feel it would increase voter turnout and be more cost efficient to have it on November 8, aka Election Day. Another voter offered up primary day in September as another alternative option. Either way the unions and the Mangano administration are pushing hard for that August 1 date for the vote.
The Legislator will vote (finally) on the proposal for arena referendum next Tuesday, May 31 at 1 pm.
"Whistled While They Worked" features Konopka and four other often penalized athletes in a round table discussion with Kenny Mayne to talk about taking penalties and receiving fines. The other athletes featured are Monique Currie of the WNBA, Jared Allen of the NFL, Joel Lindpere of the MLS and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Konopka has become a fan favorite on Long Island and has never given second thought to speaking his mind. During a January visit from the Ottawa Senators, Konopka declared the Islanders weren't the "doormats of the NHL" as TSN camras and commentators sat in the stands for the morning skate. The statement was in response to an anchor on TSN's Sports centre cracking a joke at the Islanders expense.
The article, which can also be found on ESPN.com, is an entertaining read even without Zenon in it. Mark Cuban's comments are as hilarious as they are honest. Cuban is also known for his fire passion and being one of the most outspoken owners in sports. Here is just one quote by Mark Cuban from the article: "Eight years ago it felt like I was getting fined every other week. I could say, "The sky is blue" and they'd say, "F--- you, that's 25 grand." They were trying to beat me into submission. It just made me madder."

The Islanders are insisting that he'll be 100% by the time training camp rolls around in September, but as Katie Strang pointed out the Islanders top 3 goalies, Rick Dipietro, Kevin Poulin and now Al Montoya, will be returning from some variation of a knee injury.
In related news, Newsday confirmed Evegeni Nabokov will report to training camp in September. Last month Sovsports.ru ran an interview with the Russian net minder where he said he would report to training camp. Yesterday Nabokov's agent, Don Meehan, reaffirmed those sentiments to Newsday.]]>

Cave tile
Cave tile is a type of tile in the Pokémon core series that is the habitat for many species of wild Pokémon. Upon entering a cave, the player is immediately at risk of encountering a wild Pokémon. It shares many common qualities with tall grass.
Like the name states, cave tiles are found in caves and some dungeons of the Pokémon world. It is always possible to run into a Pokémon while in a cave, whether it is lit or not.

Reason: Images from XY.
Technical mechanics
Determining the rate of encounter
The rate of Pokémon encounter is determined from a simple mathematical formula:
1 in (187.5 / ( x )) per step
Let x equal the a value which determines how rare the Pokémon is. The higher the encounter rate, the more common the Pokémon is.

Pain left rib
I have a dull pain under my left rib. This has been going on for about 6 months. If I press on the rib it hurts. I can sometimes feel this pain radiate into my chest and lower back. At first, I thought that it was my heart but, it is not. I have taken several cardio test and everything was ok.
Recently, I notice that I have been experiencing acid reflux. I have been taken something for the acid reflux but, the pain has not gone away. I am in transition between health insurances and I am waiting for my insurance with blue cross to become effective.
The fact that the pain hurts most when you press on the rib suggests you may have either a rib fracture or possibly inflammation of the rib. Did you injure yourself recently? Did you fall or get hit in the chest recently? Where exactly on the rib hurts the most? Do you have more pain on the outer part of the rib (near your arm) or more pain where the rib meets the breastbone?
If the pain is more intense where the rib meets the breastbone, you may have costochondritis or inflammation of the cartilage and bones in the chest wall. Costochondritis occurs when there is inflammation at the junction of the rib bone and breastbone (sternum). The cartilage can become irritated and inflamed causing chest pain.

Byers looks to hit rip-off Britain
By BBC News Online's political correspondent Nick Assinder
The idea of new laws to protect consumers from unscrupulous businessmen creating a "rip off Britain" appears a classic Labour move.
Trade Secretary Stephen Byers must have welcomed it with open arms when he started his job - probably seeing himself as a champion of the people.
But, as the Competition Act finally comes into force, the jury is still very much out over whether or not this legislation will produce great benefits for ordinary people.
There is no doubt that British consumers have the impression they are regularly being ripped off by international cartels using cynical price-fixing measures to steal the last penny out of their wallets.
And there have been some infamous examples where these fears have been confirmed.
Only last year the Swedish car giant Volvo admitted price-fixing in Britain but escaped any punishment because there were no available powers.
More recently the banks have come under fire over charges for customers using competitors' cash machines.
And there have been ongoing rows over price fixing in the construction and fine arts sectors.
Tory proposal
If the new act - originally introduced by the last Tory government - allows future action to be taken against such alleged stitch-ups, then few will complain.
Mr Byers recently declared: " Price-fixing by cartels hits ordinary people in the pocket. It means lower quality at higher prices. The vast majority of businesses which work so hard to compete also deserve better protection from the few that cheat."
His message was swiftly welcomed by consumer groups and ordinary punters. But the proof of the pudding will, as ever, be in the eating.
There are widespread fears that the measures will have little real effect on some of the larger international businesses, but could hit big domestic companies who are unsure of their position under the new laws.
Alienating business
And, potentially more importantly for Mr Byers and the prime minister, the laws could easily alienate exactly the people they have spent the last few years desperately trying to win over.
All Gordon Brown's work on the City's rubber chicken circuit could easily be blown away if the new laws are seen as a return to Old Labour style interference and antipathy towards business.
There are also worries that the measures could even lead to job losses.
This is not because jobs are being created by rip-off merchants operating price-fixing cartels but, again, because smaller companies may be hit by confusing new regulations.
Supporters, however, insist that the government can only reap huge rewards from any measures that appear to address the widely perceived view that British consumers are being taken for a ride.
And, in politics, impressions usually count for more than reality.

Folk Musicians Interpret Old Spice Ad
Emily and Matt are folk singers. They think the Old Spice commercial we're currently obsessed with — "I'm on a horse!" — is super romantic, so they decided to put it to music ("Annie's Song" by John Denver, I believe) and sing it. Please, oh please, let this just be the beginning of the hilarious Old Spice spoofs!

Monday, Sept. 23, 2013 7:14 p.m. to 7:14 p.m.
Location: Belfast Free Library, 106 High St., Belfast, ME
For more information: Megan Pinette; 338-9229
"Belfast, New England and the War of 1812" is the topic for the Belfast Historical Society meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, September 23, in the Abbott Room at the Belfast Free Library. Ron Whittle, historian and teacher, will present a look at the impact the War of 1812 had on Belfast and to the Penobscot Bay area.
At the time of the War of 1812 the District of Maine was still a part of Massachusetts. The Embargo and other trade restrictions profoundly affected Mainers, including those in Belfast who were dependent upon the sea for commerce. The lack of support by the Massachusetts Legislature for towns seized by the British fanned the movement to form a State.
Belfast Historical Society meetings are free and open to the public and are held on the fourth Monday of the month, April through October. For more information, visit www.belfastmuseum.org.

LONDON – Sir Alex Ferguson can be a good friend but a very bad enemy.
It is better to have the Manchester United manager on your side because the Scot has a memory that makes an elephant seem forgetful, which Wayne Rooney is discovering.
As Rooney recovers from a gash in a leg that may sideline him for up to two months, the striker would be well advised to take a long, hard look in the mirror before resuming his United career.
Last Saturday he was dropped for the first time for form reasons since his Everton debut 10 years ago. Rooney has been rested by Everton, United and England, but never left out because he was playing badly — until last weekend.
After an indifferent opening match against Everton, when United lost 1-0, Ferguson made Rooney a substitute against Fulham, with Robin van Persie leading the attack.
Rooney, who has been the most automatic of choices, now faces a battle to regain his place in the side when fit, and the 34 goals scored last season will count for nothing in Ferguson's eyes.
The relationship between manager and player is no longer the father-and-son type bond it once was.
Ferguson has never forgotten how, before signing a lucrative new contract two years ago, Rooney, who had handed in a transfer request, made critical comments, even accusing United of lacking ambition.
While the pragmatic Ferguson was never going to cut off his nose to spite his face and offload Rooney, the incident was logged in Ferguson's black book.
Last season Rooney was sent home from training in the build-up to the New Year's Eve game against Blackburn, which United lost.
Rooney, along with Darron Gibson and Jonny Evans, was fined and dropped after a breach of club rules relating to a night out with their respective partners.
Despite his goals, too often the England international failed to deliver in the big games. Ferguson was no longer prepared to make Rooney the focal point of the team, building the side around him. He became a player, not the player.
Because of Rooney's muscular build, his fitness levels must be 100 percent to be at his best, but after 10 years of playing at the highest level there are doubts whether he retains the inner drive and dedication to maintain the qualities that took him to the top.
Ferguson is on record as saying that if Rooney misses a couple of matches "it takes him three or four to come back."
By the time Rooney is fit again, van Persie and Shinji Kagawa, who looks to be one of the shrewdest bits of business of the transfer window, will have given United new attacking options.
At 26 Rooney should be at his peak, and while United is unlikely to consider the possibility of selling the striker until next summer, he knows that if Ferguson believes a player has dipped below the standards expected on or off the pitch, the Scot will have no hesitation in offloading him.
Ask David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Roy Keane or Jaap Stam.
ENGLAND MANAGER Roy Hodgson will not have to worry whether most of his squad is fresh for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Moldova (away) and Ukraine (home) on Sept. 7 and Sept. 11.
Only one of England's four attackers — Spurs' Jermain Defoe — started the last Premier League game, while half of the eight midfielders have not been first-team regulars. It is a situation no other leading country in Europe experiences and underlines the dearth of English talent and the over-reliance on overseas players.
After two Premier League games, nine players had scored more than one goal for their clubs — of these, only Frank Lampard of Chelsea is English.
There is nothing Hodgson can do about this and as a former club manager he knows players are selected on talent, not passports.
Strikers Andy Carroll (Liverpool), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea) and Danny Welbeck (Manchester United) have to play second fiddle to Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres and Robin van Persie, respectively.
The squad has some promising youngsters in Birmingham goalkeeper Jack Butland, Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand and Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but Hodgson will rely on the tried and trusted old guard that reached the quarterfinals of Euro 2012 on the road to Brazil.
Fifteen of the 23-man squad which played in the Euros will kickstart the World Cup campaign.
OF ALL THE summer transfers, Julio Cesar's from Inter Milan to Queens Park Rangers is the most intriguing.
In June, Rangers signed England goalkeeper Robert Green from West Ham on a two-year deal as a replacement for Paddy Kenny, who had joined Leeds.
Green made a howler on his debut as Swansea romped to a 5-0 victory at Loftus Road.
On Wednesday, Cesar, who has won 64 caps for Brazil, signed a four-year contract with QPR and will obviously be the first choice 'keeper.
While there are no guarantees in football, it seems Rangers decided very quickly that Green was not up to the job and brought in a replacement after just two league matches.
Green would not have agreed to join Rangers had he known he would be the backup goalkeeper and it is difficult to imagine manager Mark Hughes signed him to sit on the bench.
If QPR have realized Green was not the goalkeeper they hoped, at least they have acted quickly to rectify a rather expensive mistake.

What's Buzzworthy: Must-Read Memoirs
What's Buzzworthy: Must-Read Memoirs
Last week's Buzzworthy bookmarking challenge focused on must-read memoirs, and for some reason, these were some of my favorite Buzzworthy picks ever. As I mentioned before, memoirs are pretty hit or miss; the good ones read like novels, but the bad ones can be painfully bad. You guys managed to find an intriguing mix of books I love and books I've never heard of but now really want to read! I hope everyone else gets some good book ideas from the list, too. Here are the Buzzworthy picks I found most noteworthy.
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris, bookmarked by Missyosigirl, who gives it this endorsement: "I don't know how David Sedaris does it, but he can turn stories that you would think will traumatize a kid or depress the hell out of someone into stories that warm your heart."
Shutterbabe: Adventures in Love and War by Deborah Copaken Kogan, bookmarked by SaraSmile. I have often considered checking out this memoir by an adventure-seeking photojournalist; now, I definitely will.
Three more, so
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, bookmarked by Linda McP with this description: "'Life changes fast. Life changes in an instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends.' With those lines, Joan Didion opens her book in which she recounts her efforts to make sense of life in the year after her husband's unexpected death. Book reviewer John Leonard says: 'I can't think of a book we need more than hers...I can't imagine dying without this book.' I couldn't agree more."
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, bookmarked by Mainly Obsessed, who says, "this is a good read. If anything you should read it just because the great Maya Angelou wrote it."
The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness
by Simon Wiesenthal, bookmarked by Xxbrittney. I wasn't familiar with this memoir, written by a Nazi concentration camp survivor, but it sounds like an interesting rumination on forgiveness.

Ayres, who appears on Fox Footy's Open Mike on Wednesday night, told host Mike Sheahan that he was prepared to dump the Geelong champ ahead of the 1996 elimination final against North Melbourne.
He was talked out of the move by the Cats' leadership group.
"It'd been an unusual year for Gary, I guess, in that he hadn't played a lot of footy because he'd had a suspension ... from that point on I actually thought that Gary's ability to play the game waned a little bit," Ayres told Fox Footy.
"We'd had a meeting at the footy club one night and the players decided to impose a curfew ... but of course that didn't seem to sit well with some of the players.
"Gary was one of those players, so of course we had a training session and Gary was late as he generally was, and I made a statement that the player, whoever it was, wouldn't actually play.
"That was probably a naive young coach who should have kept his powder dry and not said too much and then evaluated the decision if anything did happen.
"But then in the end, you actually know you're a better side with Gary Ablett in it than without him."
As it turned out, Ayres believes in hindsight he should have stuck to his guns - with the Geelong humbled in the final as the Kangas won by 10 goals. Ablett had little impact.
Ayres, a Norm Smith medallist for Hawthorn, speaks of his playing career and time as a coach during the 30-minute special.
Watch the full Open Mike at 8.30pm tonight (Wednesday).

WEI Pomegranate Buffing Beads Reviews
Hard to useThe buffing beads come in packets, as you can see. Since I only use face scrub in the shower, it was very hard to use. But I learned. Anyway, I got these in a set, and can replace a scrub, just put it into a facial wash but I would not just buy them. — 6 years, 9 months agojenicide1 | 292 reviews

Profile and Perspectives
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (WW) in Erlangen currently has eight chairs and 18 professorships and thus represents the largest university institute of its kind for materials science in Germany. Approximately one third of all materials scientists educated in Germany over the past decades gained their qualification from the University of Erlangen. The specialist department offers students the opportunity to study and conduct research into all types of materials, with equal attention given to traditional construction materials as well as modern functional materials, covering both the natural sciences and the engineering aspects of the broad field of Materials Sciences and Engineering.
Exceptional opportunities for technology transfer as well as for interdisciplinary research activities into the application of materials are further provided by collaborative partnerships with Neue Materialien Fürth GmbH and the Central Institute of Advanced Materials and Processes in Fürth. The particular strength of the Erlangen Department of Materials Sciences was highlighted in the successful 2007 bid for an Erlangen Cluster of Excellence in 'Engineering of Advanced Materials'', an award approved by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the National Science Council. All seven chairs in Materials Science and Engineering are involved in this initiative in varying forms, and a new Centre for Nanoanalytics and Electron Microscopy (CENEM) will be developed as part of this project. This Cluster of Excellence is the only material sciences cluster in Germany that is currently receiving national funding.
Research Focus
Research within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering covers the length and breadth of the field. The Department is unique in that there is a subject chair representing each of the most important classes of material, and that research includes both natural sciences as well as engineering approaches to materials engineering.
Main topics of research:
General Material Properties
This research into the correlations between the structure of materials and the resulting properties with a focus on the mechanical properties of materials. It also investigates the properties of materials at high temperatures and the production and properties of nanostructured materials.
Materials Science and Metals Technology
This type of research explores the process and materials development of high temperature and lightweight materials as well as of ultrahard layers such as turbine blades, metal foams and crystalline diamond layers, for example.
Glass and Ceramics
The process and materials development of glass and ceramics is the focus of attention in research into new production processes for ceramics, glass and bonding materials; potential fields of application include the automobile industry, microelectronics, medicine, environmental and energy technologies.
Corrosion and Surface Technology
Surface modification is used to tailor the functionality of surfaces for use in specific technological applications. Corrosion protection investigates the corrosion processes of lightweight materials and implant materials, for example.
Polymer Materials
This research is primarily modification and characterisation, and involves the development of technical applications, such as electronic components from organic materials, foams, antimicrobial polymers. It is also concerned with the identification of rheological properties, in particular under elongation, and the fluid mechanics of polymer melts.
Electronics and Energy Technology Materials
This area of research explores key topics such as the production and characterisation of materials for energy production and storage, compound semiconductors, organic semiconductors and conductors, as well as inorganic nanoparticles, and phosphors for X-ray storage and light conversion.
Medical materials research is a core element of modern materials development. Examples of their application include artificial hip joints, supports for dental implants, cartilage and bone replacement materials, biocompatible substrates for the regeneration of heart tissue, nanostructured scaffolds for tissue engineering, as well as biodegradable drug delivery vehicles. Notable areas of expertise shared across all subjects chairs are the study of and research into lightweight, high temperature and biologically inspired materials, and materials in medicine.
Materials Simulation
This area of research focuses on modelling and simulation of mechanical and transport properties of a broad range of materials - from nanocomposites, micro-and nanowires to biomaterials and hazards related to materials failure in geosystems. These modelling and simulation approaches are strongly influenced by concepts and ideas derived from statistical physics/complex systems theory which help to deal with the properties of real materials where structural disorder, defects and randomness are always present -- and may give rise to a rich variety of emergent phenomena.

Just as new low-cost Windows laptops are about to hit the market, Google is introducing new capabilities aimed at making Chromebooks more appealing to business users.
Google announced today that it's packaging together some new and existing features designed for businesses into an annual $50 subscription.
One of the new additions is that Chromebooks now support single sign-on, based on SAML. That means IT admins can allow users to sign in to their Chromebooks using their existing work credentials. Identity providers including Okta, Ping, and Microsoft Active Directory all use SAML.
Google is also adding a multiple sign-in capability so that users can have personal and work accounts on the same machine.
In addition, Google also said that businesses will be able to provision Chromebooks to access the more secure 802.1X EAP-TLS Wi-Fi networks.
Another new capability will let IT admins push bookmarks and settings out to Chromebook users. The idea is to make it easier for admins to provision the laptops for users.
Also included in the annual $50 subscription is the version of Citrix Receiver designed for Chromebooks, announced a couple weeks ago. Citrix Receiver lets Chromebook users access virtualized Windows apps. The subscription also includes technology previously announced from Nvidia and VMware designed to improve the performance of graphics-heavy virtualized applications on Chromebooks.
In a blog post about the new offer, Saswat Panigrahi, product manager for Chrome for Work, described a U.K. company that quickly issued workers Chromebooks after a flood hit their office. His point seems to be that Google is trying to make it easier for businesses to adopt Chromebooks than Windows PCs, which typically take a bit of work for IT admins to configure and issue.
The new features and subscription offer come just as new low-cost Windows 8.1 laptops are about to hit the market. Just last week HP announced its latest Stream devices, including 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch laptops that will cost $200 and $230, respectively. The laptops will go on sale in the U.S. in November.
An 11.6-inch HP Chromebook is going for $280, although some Chromebooks cost as little as $200.
During its annual partner conference earlier this year, Microsoft COO Kevin Turner said the company planned to compete with low-cost Chromebooks. The HP laptops as well as one announced by Asus are some of the first Windows 8 computers that will come out on the low-end.
However, HP will have some work to do before it can position its low-end laptops against the Chromebook for business users. The new Stream laptops will come in "stunning" colors, including bright blue and purple. It doesn't look like a standard grey or more business appropriate casing will be available, at least initially.
Also, HP is including a year subscription to Office 365 – but the Personal edition.
While HP said its Stream products are designed to "make it easy to work and play from more places," the colorful cases and Personal version of Office position the laptops more as devices people might buy primarily for personal use, rather than laptops a company might issue. As Google increasingly pushes Chromebooks to businesses, however, HP could easily decide to tweak its low-end Windows 8 offerings to make them more likely to appeal to businesses.
This story, "Google Steps Up Push for Chromebooks in the Office" was originally published by CITEworld.

In regards to the gyuto, I have read on-line posts saying that the 240mm honyaki gyuto comes with a 90/10 edge and a others saying that it comes with a 70/30 edge. I take it that is incorrect. I just want to confirm that the 240mm honyaki gyuto is 50/50 before I order. Thanks. - Kyo

Winchester 67 Smooth Bore
I stumbled upon a old Winchester 67 .22 LR-S-L . I did some research and it may be wrong but I believe it was made in the first production year. In 1934 the rifle was made with the stock to have finger grips and after 1935 they stopped and made solid stocks. Well this one has the finger grips and is in really good shape. I have looked online and saw some selling for over $1000. I would upload pics as soon as I can.
I took it to a gun show once and a lot of the venders kept saying it wasn't a smooth bore and nothing like that existed. I originally took it to two different gun shops and they said it was a smooth bore. I took it to a friend of mine today who is a Retired SF Sniper and he told me it was a smooth bore so its up in the air. It does have a spin but the barrel is completely smooth there are no groves in the spirals at all. As I said before I will try and post some pictures as soon as possible. :)
Garden gun when people grew their own crops for pest killing 22 cal shotgun,birds and such,don't pick my seeds bird!
Forgot to add its a Single Shot bolt action and Lol
Is it marked Smooth Bore? 27" barrel? If so it does exist, and is worth at least
double what a regular rifled 67 is equal condition would be worth.
1 Attachment(s)
Bill nailed it. They brought that out in 1937. Barrel should be marked like this:
Attachment 109180
The barrel isn't marked but it has the 27in barrel and the guy at the gun shop said they didn't say smooth bore on all of them. But then again he just said he was a certified NRA member and only proof was a paper card with his name and number that said NRA lol
10 Attachment(s)
Here are some pictures of it I have a few more I am going to post. I tried to get as many pictures as I could showing the full detail of the rifle. I tried getting a picture of the bore but failed miserably lol.... :o
5 Attachment(s)
Feel free to request certain pictures and if you had a good way to shoot a pic of the bore ill post that on here. Any questions ask away I am more worried about cheating someone else than myself lol.
The smooth bores were smooth , like a shotgun. You said "It does have a spin". Spin means NOT a smooth bore. Looks like maybe a $200 rifle.
Even if the barrel is completely smooth?

Gueye ready for action
Winger Magaye Gueye says he is ready to feature for Everton after recovering from a broken toe.
Last Updated: 14/09/11 3:30pm
Winger Magaye Gueye says he is ready to feature for Everton after recovering from a broken toe.
The France Under 21 international has been out of action for a month but impressed for the reserves in their 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Tuesday.
He played in eight games for the Toffees last season, five of which were in the Premier League.
Seamus Coleman and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov started on the flanks for David Moyes' side in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday, but Gueye is determined to get his chance.
He told the club's official website: "I feel better now, I was playing so well before I got injured and I was feeling really fit.
"When I was injured I did all the training and rehab I could as I wanted to come back quickly because we need the players and I feel really good.
"The gaffer says to me I have the ability to be in the team, I just need more games. I played in the reserve team for a long time last season but now I feel ready for the first team.
"The injury gave me a bit of a break but I'm working hard every day and if the boss calls me to go on the pitch I will be ready."
Everton clinched the season-long loan signing of winger Royston Drenthe from Real Madrid on transfer deadline day and Gueye is excited by the competition he faces for a place in the starting line-up.
He added: "Royston is a top-quality player, I need people like him around because I can learn off him every day.
"He is very quick and direct and likes to take on players and Seamus is very similar. I feel that I am involved more in the build-up play and the passing, but the most important thing is that I think we can all play together which is good for the team."

Asthma and bronchiectasis
I am a severe chronic asthmatic and have been on 5 mg prednislone for the last two years. Recently my dose was reduced to 2.5 mg and then stopped for 2-3 weeks. Since then, I find my asthma is much worse and does not seem to respond to any of the usual medications including much higher levels of prednisolone. A year ago I had a CT chest which demonstrated mild bronchicstasis, now I have severe bilateral bronchicstasis. I also have very reduced exercise tolerance.
Is it likely that stopping the prednisolone could have contributed or caused this rapid deterioration?
Bronchiectasis can be caused by many different things, and asthma is usually not a common cause of bronchiectasis. In patients with two chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and bronchiectasis, it can be difficult to determine which one is causing the symptoms so both diseases need completely evaluated and treated. It would be important to know what evaluation was done to find the cause of the bronchiectasis, particulary if there was an evaluation for a disorder named allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). This is a disease where patients have an allergic response in the airways to a fungus, aspergillus. It is not thought to be an infection just a response to the fungus. It occurs in patients with a history of asthma and can cause bronchiectasis. There is a very specific evaluation for ABPA. Treatment of ABPA is with prednisone and flares of the disease can occur if the prednisone is weaned off.
I would discuss the possibility of ABPA with your asthma care provider as well as asking what type of evaluation was done looking for the cause of bronchiectasis. Of course you should also be confident your asthma medical regimen is optimal as that could also be causing your increase in symptoms off prednisone.

"I used WPD to make a Save the Date card for my upcoming wedding and it was such a seamless process! I had a few changes to the design which they more than happily fixed, and their customer service was fantastic. Literally in 3-4 days I had designed the card, approved a proof, and received my shipment (with express delivery)."
"We love our save-the-dates! The quality is really good with shinier printing on the front and regular printing on the back to account for the photo versus text. The picture does print a little more "faded" than I thought it would, but for the picture we chose this worked well but keep it in mind for choosing what colors to use. Friends who received this commented on how cute and elegant it was!"
"Love that it wasnt too big and can fit on the side of the fridge nicely (if you have a stainless steel fridge). Love it."
"My fiance and I absolutely loved the sae the date!!! Our guests have been complimenting us since they got them!! Thanky you!!"
"I am so impressed with my postcards! I initially thought I wanted magnets, but went with postcards and couldn't be more satisfied. Looks exactly like the proof and better! Very nice paper quality, clean looking text! I am just so thrilled and all of my guests who have received them so far are so impressed!!! I read previous reviews cautiously and honestly disagree with all of the negative ones! I love the bored because it makes all the white text pop, the photo tint added a romantic look to the picture, and although people seem to have had trouble with the magnets... I HIGHLY recommend the postcards!!!!"

AUTHOR and academic Germaine Greer is set to give a free lecture at Bournemouth University.
She will be at the first Women's Academic Network open lecture on Monday, May 19, from 1-3pm, at the university's Talbot Campus.
The Australian-born writer achieved worldwide success with her 1970 book The Female Eunuch and became a major voice in feminism.
Her other works include Sex and Destiny: The Politics of Human Fertility, The Change: Women, Ageing and the Menopause and The Whole Woman.
She recently told a BBC documentary that women were worse off than ever because of the proliferation of online pornography and the abuse they had to endure via social media. She said sites such as Twitter had become a forum for 'the loathing of women'.
Dr Greer was also in the news when it was announced that her lifetime archive would be transferred to the University of Melbourne.
Places at the lecture are free but must be booked at wangermainegreer.eventbrite.co.uk.
