12 May Alaskan Explorer: Westerdam Cruise Review by sapete
Overall Member Rating
12 May Alaskan Explorer
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
Pre-cruise Seattle: Arrived at Sea-Tac Thursday afternoon with DW and my mother (a Mother's Day present for her). Pick up with Already There car service was spot on at baggage and we used them for all ground transport both pre and post cruise. They are a local company and the price was 40% less that other service--highly recommended. We stayed at the Marriott Waterfront for a two night stay. Location was great for doing Tourist Seattle-walking distance to waterfront attractions and Pike Place Market. We did the three minute cab ride to the Space Needle for dinner.
Embarkation-Already There picked us up at 10:30am on a sunny Saturday for the 10 minute trip to Pier 91. Dropped in the passenger unloading area and instead of being able to drop our bags with a porter at the entrance we were required to drag our bags to the screening area--a bit of a change from More last year.
Not much of a line at carry-on security screening (5 minutes) and using the check-in for Deluxe Suites and 4-Star Mariner passengers our party of 3 was totally checked-in for boarding group 1 at 10:55am. Boarding was delayed until 11:30am and with a small additional delay we began boarding at 11:50am. Both my Mother's inside cabin 5177(which we used as a 2nd bedroom and bathroom) and our SC after-corner suite 5190 were completely ready with all pre-purchased amenities (liquor, wine and Mother's Day flowers for both DW and Mom) were in place.
Stateroom-The aft corner "wrap-around" suite is our "crack" on board, Although smaller than the SA suites on Deck 7 the huge veranda with a table for four with chairs, two chairs with ottomans and two loungers (which could hold 15-20 for a sail-away ) and the 42 feet of running aft/side balcony rail is what always sells it for us. This feature provided, I believe, the best views from the ship and was perfect for Glacier Bay viewing and allowed for great on-board whale sightings 4 out of 7 days on-board. We will book nothing else when possible.
The cabin itself had plenty of room for all three of us during the day. The King bed was extremely comfortable with a vast selection of pillows. The five closets and under-bed space provided than enough clothing/luggage storage. In-room amenities included a mini-bar (which went into the dressing area stool) so the frig could be used for ice and other bottles ( we had our steward keep both our small ice bucket and large wine bucket filled with ice all day. The dry bar held a good variety of glass and bar wear which was replaced when used. The twin vanity bathroom was very roomy and useable.
Mom's inside cabin worked great for a "second" bedroom. Her opinion was that it was great for one person but you would really need to love the 2nd person in a cabin that size-a hint from her, turn one of the bedside lights toward the wall as a nightlight.
Dress Code- I want to address this due to the number of HAL threads devoted to this. We did not bring "formal" this trip to cut down to one "rollie" and a single carry-on (for the 'don't' pack it' essentials). In a discussion I had with the Hotel manager about this his comment was--"Well, it certainly is a tempest in a teapot-in some circles. But remember, we a business and we certainly are not going to limits the opportunities we have to make money on board."
It appeared that people wore what they wanted to wear when they wanted to wear it. We did see that they had dark blue sport coats available in the MDR. We were "smart casual all week" and we fell within the middle. Plenty of denim throughout the ship during the evening, with tuxes and long gowns next to polos and Levis in the Crow's Nest after dinner. I agree with the Hotel manager-a tempest in a teapot.
Dining-As I mentioned above and also in my "live" post, we elected to forego formal nights in the MDR and we decided to do the MDR and the Pinnacle for lunch and use the Deck 9 options for dinner. Food in the MDR and Lido was good, not great, tasty and portions just right. We enjoyed it all. Room service was truly good. We are lazy in the morning and in-room breakfast was always appreciated. Be sure that you double check your order BEFORE the steward leaves, a couple of mistakes were made early on but once I mentioned it to the Neptune we noticed that our menu was returned to us with all items checked of and no mistakes after that. We ordered room service for both lunches coming into Juneau and during Glacier Bay day. The Club sandwich, French onion soup and Chocolate cake with raspberry is truly one of the best lunches on the planet.
The Canaletto--Mixed feelings about this. There is a new $10 charge (a pilot program on the Westerdam and the Oosterdam). This charge included a beer, glass of house wine or soda and a "upgraded" menu. This menu is the same as last year (with the removal of the lasagna and the Veal Picatta and the inclusion of the "le Cirque" inspired special 1st and 2nd course chicken Cacciatore choice. My belief, if they are going to charge HAL must step it up on the menu, but the venue is still nice because of the view on most Alaska days.
The Pinnacle--I have mentioned in the past that felt the Pinnacle was "underwhelming" for dinner. However, this trip, we really liked it for lunch--selections were good and it was a great way to experience the service. The perk of deluxe suite breakfast was really nice.
Entertainment/Lounge Venues-Not much to say about this since this trip was a "early to rise, early to bed" scenery and excursion trip. Other than team trivia (which we won once!) and the Crow's Nest after dinner we didn't partake. I must say it was nice to see entertainment in the Crow's Nest until 11pm each night. Cat was a great solo singer/guitarist. Both our previous trips on the Ooosterdam did not have it. Nice a way end an evening with some music and the sunset.
Excursions/Ports-This itinerary is one where you should take advantage of excursions.
Juneau-We did the Whale Watching and Mendenhall Glacier trip. Juneau stated out overcast but was raining by the time we reached Auke Bay to board the Allen Marine jet catamaran for the four hour whale adventure. Yes indeed we saw the humpbacks (three times), also the sea lions and Bald eagles. The boat was comfortable and the staff friendly, experienced and knowledgeable. The Mendenhall portion of the trip was crowded (with 3 ships in port) and I would not recommend it since you will be in Glacier Bay the next day. The combined trip makes for a 51/2 trip and with the weather it didn't leave us much time to wonder around the dock area.
Glacier Bay-THIS is why we booked the suite we did. Up before breakfast (5am) so as not to miss anything! We entered the National Park under grey and rainy skies. After a room service breakfast we were able to see rangers embark the ship. The USPS ranger began her presentation and commentary at 9am (available on channel 43 of the TV) where she pointed out a Brown bear on the beach. Just prior to our arrival at Reid Glacier the clouds parted to reveal a crystal clear blue sky and caused the snow-covered mountains to be reflect in the glass-smooth water of the bay. The pictures on the HAL website of Glacier Bay truly represented our day. This vista was maintained throughout our visit to "glacier country". Room service lunch was delivered during our transit to Margerie and Great Pacific glaciers . Five minutes after our arrival at Margerie we were lucky enough to view a calving from the front of the glacier with the accompanying booming and cracking and our luck extending to a second ice fall just as were stern-on to the glacier while the Captain spun the ship. The views continued back down to Lampough Glacier where were a numerous nesting seabirds and seals hauled out on the small calved bergs in the bay.
The afternoon continued back down the bay where were we able to see a breeching Humpback just before we departed the park.
Sitka-We were already anchored in Sitka harbor where breakfast arrived at 6am. Our Allen Marine Sea Otter and Wildlife Quest boat picked us up at 9am right at the ship (no tendering!) The excursion consisted of 3 ½ hours of otters (including a mother/pup combination), Harbor Porpoises, a huge Stellar Sea Lion, Bald eagles and a the end of the trip a special view of a sounding mother/calf pair of Humpbacks. We were dropped back at the tender dock so others could meet up with the land portions of their excursion or just to spend money in Sitka. We tendered back to the W-Dam for a Pinnacle lunch and sail-away.
Ketchikan--Shopping Day! Watched the ship dock in the prime spot before enjoying breakfast in the Pinnacle. Down the gangway with an empty HAL bag. After two leisurely hours walking around dock-side we returned with a full HAL bag.
Victoria-Stayed on the ship to complete a lazy "at sea" sinced we all ahd been to Victoria multiple times before.
On-board Activities-
Wireless package-Purchased a $100 embarkation wireless package with a 25 minute bonus (total just over 240 minutes of time). Easy log-on and off from all ship provided PCs and wireless worked well in the cabin although log-on was a little cumbersome from our personal devices.
Greenhouse Spa--Great facility. Took advantage of massage service twice during the cruise. Little pricey compared to shore side but within reason.
Behind the Scenes Tour-This became a lengthly review. Please see my separate post "Wetserdam Behind The Scenes Tour".
Disembarkation--We used expedited disembarkation and departed the ship at 7:45am. It took us only 35 mintutes to leave the ship, clear CIS, meet our car and arrive at our downtown post-cruise hotel for an overnight stay before returning home Less

text: Nothing too new since I last wrote... just figured I'd add pics. Also noticed when I take pictures with my Iphone it comes out clearer if dont face the camera toward me (so I can see myself) but comes out better if I hold it as if I were taking a picture of someone else (I'm sure iphone users get this...BUT anyways...) point being my first picture is clear, the others haven't been as much, so I think they look better than I am... but todays was taken properly and shows what I look like right now. Still better than day 1... and very few new breakouts... just a LOT of redness from where the old ones were (which I am told will fade after I am finished).

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Lightweight news, pictures, specifications, and information
Other than display appearances at Notre Dame Úniversity and Elkhart Lake in 1965 Grand Sport 002 had never been outside a GM facility until it was sold to Roger Penske. After Sebring he sold it to George Wintersteen for whom it was prepared in the Penske shop wîth a 427 big block. After running it in the 1966 ÚSRRC series Wintersteen sold it to John Thorne. It was later acquired by Ed Mueller and it remained in exactly the same condition in which Wintersteen drove it.
It was acquired by Jim Jaeger in 1990 at which time Grand Sport 002 had still never been restored nor even extensively modified, and was by far the best preserved and most original of all the Grand Sports. Many of the notations and reference points marked on it during its construction at GM were still visible, a direct link to its extraordinary history. Its condition and originality presented a special opportunity for Jaeger as he felt an obvious obligation to preserve the car's impeccable originality. He did so without regard to expense and to maintain its purity in every respect.
The original body was so historically significant that it was essential to preserve the unique historic record it represented. When Jaeger decided he wanted to prepare the Grand Sport for vintage racing the decision was made to construct a completely new, absolutely correct body for the original chassis so that the original body could continue to be preserved intact as the time warp piece of historical record that it truly is.
Dozens of intricate molds and forming dies were required to duplicate the body's constituent parts and the complex aluminum birdcage structure that surrounds the driver's compartment. The original color was precisely identified from the Chevrolet Engineering Center data plate and the head fairing which had been taken off in 1966, never repainted and kept wîth the car for twenty-four years. The new body precisely duplicates the paper-thin original, a wafer of fiberglass so ethereal it is translucent, and even reproduces minute details like the weave and orientation of the original's fiberglass cloth.
The 427 cubic inch engine wîth four-barrel carburetor as raced by Wintersteen and Thorne that was in the Grand Sport was not as well-suited to the newly desired configuration and had to be replaced by an aluminum block 377 cubic inch dry sump engine as originally built and prepared by Chevrolet. A correct, period-origin example was acquired but deemed insufficient for historic racing so work was begun to duplicate it, hewing as closely as possible to the original configuration.
In addition to duplicating the original 4' bore and 3 3/4' stroke dimensions, correct intake systems were constructed wîth aluminum. Additional details including the dry sump system and the 4-tube headers which passed over the righthand frame tube, unique to the two Grand Sport roadsters, were duplicated for both the period-origin and new 377 engines. When completed the modern engine was tested and tuned on the dynamometer, eventually delivering 616 brake horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 516 lb-ft torque at 5,750 rpm.
Additional details were painstakingly restored, duplicated or re-created using the same materials and methods that were employed by the GM technicians during Grand Sport 002's build and subsequent modification to its roadster configuration. A set of correct Halibrand 5-spoke centerlock wheels – as seen on Grand Sport 002 during its 1965 display at Notre Dame Úniversity – was found and restored for display while a new set was built for racing, both carefully matched to re-created centerlock stub axles and tri-lobe nuts. The early M-22 'Rock Crusher' 4-speed transmission was rebuilt and retrofitted wîth a roller bearing first gear for reliability. A modern 3-disc 7 1/4' clutch was installed giving greater reliability, lower rotating mass and, most important, much greater safety.
When 002 was completed in its newly presented form it was displayed wîth pride at historic racing and Corvette events around the country. The care, concern, sympathy, research and skill applied to its preservation and unique restoration set new standards. ( posted on conceptcarz.com) In the process Corvette Grand Sport Roadster 002 was not only preserved for appreciation by new generations of collectors and automotive historians but also rendered as a safe, competitive vintage race car capable of thrilling onlookers wîth its magnificent appearance and thundering performance. The next owner has this opportunity as well, as both the 377 cubic inch engine and new body, along wîth a host of other important items accompany the car in its sale and will be available onsite for inspection by those interested parties at the auction.
Today, the Grand Sport has been returned to its 1966 ÚSRRC racing configuration, wearing its pristine time warp original bodywork wîth 427 power and accordingly remains just as it might have been seen over 40 years ago on the track or in the pits. It is the very definition of a 'time warp example', especially considering that most race cars cannot make it through a season without new bodywork. Simply put, this aspect of the 002's magnificence cannot be duplicated and its unquestionable purity is ample evidence of its exceptional ownership, provenance and long life cherished by all its previous owners.
In addition to the original body and 427 cubic inch engine installed in it, the Grand Sport is accompanied by the modern vintage race-prepared aluminum block 377 cubic inch engine wîth Weber carburetor intake system, transmission, pipes, §teering wheel, wheels and tires and of course the all new body. It is titled as a 1963 Chevrolet and has a comprehensive documentation package nearly six inches thick appropriate to its history, restoration and importance.
Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 002 is one of the most important historic sports-racing cars of all time. Its restoration, history and condition are, however, only a small part of the halo that surrounds it and suffuses the memories of those who see it wîth the bright glow of history.
Brock Yates observed, 'Ever since the spring of 1963 … the Corvette Grand Sport has established itself as one of the most fascinating enigmas in motor racing annals…. Periodically one of the five Grand Sports appeared … raced around at shocking speeds, and then plunged back into mysterious seclusion.' Jerry Burton in his biography of Zora Arkus-Duntov put it this way, 'The Grand Sport may not have earned Duntov any political gold stars on the Fourteenth Floor, but what he did achieve constituted an indelible contribution to Corvette's racing pedigree,' and to the dreams and aspirations of American road racing fans.
It took a further forty years before Corvette Racing achieved Zora Arkus-Duntov's goals for the Grand Sport: success at Daytona, Sebring and, most of all, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. 002 remains today beautifully preserved as it was when first released from GM, an unprecedented opportunity for serious collectors and vintage racers to acquire one of the most important, legendary, individual sports-racing cars in road racing history.
The C5 generation (1997-2004) built on the success of the C4 wîth a new, unitized backbone chassis design, but it was lighter and stronger. Its construction employed a comparatively rare process called hydroforming, which used water pressure and heat to turn six-inch steel tubes into side rails for the Corvette chassis. Each tube replaced what formerly had comprised 36 separate, welded components in the C4 chassis.
The other big advancement wîth the fifth-generation Corvette was the use of a rear transaxle, which moved the transmission to the rear of the vehicle rather than the traditional position directly behind the engine. The tunnel between the engine and transaxle was enclosed wîth a panel that contributed to the chassis' strength and rigidity.
'Weight distribution was a primary motivator,' said Juechter. 'We were trying to get to 50/50, balancing the work load on the front and rear tires, which is extremely challenging to do wîth the front-engine, V-8 powered car. Moving to a rear transaxle dramatically improved the weight balance, as well as enabling a smoother ride and greater interior space.'
Additional C5 chassis/drivetrain innovations included run-flat tires (1997), Active Handling System (1998), magnesium wheels (2002) and Magnetic Selective Ride Control (2003).
The strength and performance capability delivered by the C5 chassis paid huge dividends on the race track. During six years of competition, Corvette Racing – the first factory-backed Corvette team in the car's history – led the C5.R to an overall victory at the Daytona 24-hour race and three 1-2 finishes in the GTS class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. During the 2004 season, Corvette Racing won every race the team entered and captured every pole position in the American Le Mans Series.
C6: Aluminum and magnesium structure
The success of the C5.R racing program directly influenced the design of the C6 Corvette (2005 – 2013) as designers and engineers further strengthened but lightened the proven backbone design.
At a glance, the C6 chassis looks similar to the C5, but it was shortened slightly and strengthened in key areas to enable greater performance and to enhance crashworthiness. And while it retained the same basic suspension design as the C5 – short/long arm front suspension and multi-link rear suspension wîth transverse composite springs – all of the components were redesigned. No C5 suspension parts were carried over to the C6.
For the first time, different chassis were available wîth different Corvette models. The higher-performance C6 Z06 and ZR1 models received a unique, aluminum-intensive backbone structure rather than the steel backbone used on other models. It was developed as a lighter foundation, featuring a magnesium roof structure and engine cradle, and weighed only 278 pounds – 49 percent less than the steel backbone's 414 pounds. Like the steel frame, the aluminum chassis was created via hydroforming.
Corvette Racing immediately employed the C6 chassis wîth its C6.R race cars. Corvette Racing has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans seven times since 2001, most recently beating Ferrari to the checkered flag in 2011.

New Delhi, June 13 (IANS) The government Thursday revised upward the industrial production growth to 2.2 percent, just a day after pegging it at 2 percent.
"Due to wrong recording of production data for electricity sector, the Index of Industrial Production for the electricity sector for the month of April 2013 is corrected to 159.1 from 153.8," the Central Statistics Office said in a statement, explaining the revision.
"As a result, the General Index for the month of April 2013 is revised upward to 167.8 from 167.3 shown in the press release. The revised index is 2.2 percent higher as compared to the level in the month of April 2012," it said.
The industrial output growth is still lower than the upwardly revised 3.4 percent growth registered in March this year.
Interestingly, even for March the data is revised significantly. In the original estimate announce last month the CSO had pegged March industrial output growth at 2.5 percent. Wednesday, it revised the March data upward at 3.4 percent.

Dear. Pretty Fly Robin,
I am top-heavy. I have no (well, very little) booty. I'm petite and have a small (not really) tummy. What are some pieces that would compliment my frame? I have killer legs and a pretty face :).
Please help me because I want to accentuate my positives and detract from my negatives.
Thanks in advance for your help!
~Pretty Busty
Dear. Pretty Busty,
Your body type is an inverted triangle.
You will need to first make sure you have a good bra. A good bra, gives an illusion of a smaller waist & midsection.
Spend a little money and get some really good bras. Try your local department stores (Macys, JCPenney, Bloomingdales and/or Nordstrom) or if you want to really invest in a piece made for you check out Intimacy Bra Fit Stylists.
Try to wear waist defining tops, shirts, dresses, & jackets to create an illusion of a waist line.
To make your hip area look Fuller (curvier), try adding fullness there.
I suggest v-necks, wrap style tops and tailored shirts/jackets for the top half of the body.
For bottoms I suggest you go with boot cut or flare leg pants and full or a-line skirts that stop at knee or a little above since you are petite.
Hope this helps!
Your Stylist,
Pretty Fly Robin

IN SOME ways it's almost impossible to reconcile Idris Elba's tortured, rule-breaking but upright detective, John Luther, with his alter ego — the suave, ruthless Stringer Bell of The Wire. But this guy is nothing if not versatile and — despite a very distinctive look — manages to utterly convince, whether he's here fighting crime in London, taking tea in Botswana in The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency or counting cash in a back room in Baltimore. It helps, of course, that in Luther he's given a smart, sophisticated script and some terrific co-stars. This crime series has been one of the highlights of the schedule during the past couple of months and tonight comes to a high-octane conclusion that manages to be both satisfying and surprising. Smarmy Reed has managed to convince just about everyone that he's the hero and Luther's lost the plot, forcing our man to take some desperate action — and form some unlikely alliances. Just who can be trusted, and how long these alliances will hold, create a fabulous mood of tension, helped by clever camera work and editing that walk that fine line between creating excitement and utter confusion. And the final scene is an absolute cracker.

Sirs Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellan Continue To Brag About Their Amazing Bromance
Patrick Stewart: "The curtain came down on our last performance, and he went into the wings and sat on some stone steps and sobbed, heartbroken that it was over."
Ian McKellan: "Yes, I was heartbroken. And then we were going to say goodbye to each other. You were going off to do other things and I just felt I would never be as happy again."
Sir Besties Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan opened up about their adorable friendship, specifically the time they spent starring in a stage production of Waiting for Godot in London, in an interview with Lesley Stahl for CBS News. This bromance is my favorite bromance in the history of bromances. McKellan recently officiated Stewart's wedding, as Sir Besties are known to do. [CBS News]

Miley Cyrus Dyes Hair Ash Blue
Miley Cyrus isn't content to let the chop heard 'round the world be the extent of her shocking hairstyles. The singer/actress has gone progressively shorter and blonder in recent months, since hacking off her shoulder-length locks in August. Now, she is showing off an ash blue hue. It's certainly unusual.
Cyrus, who looked stunning last week at Elton John's Oscar party, rocking a white blond faux hawk, looks like she dipped her head in blue paint while out and about in Los Angeles. The back is still white blonde, but it's a bit of an ashy, aqua on top, depending on how the light hits it.
Cyrus was cute in a black belly shirt, black chinos and black ballet flats but she stood out thanks to her blue hair and that crimson lipstick shade she chose. It's almost an exotic look for her.
Ever since cutting off her locks, Cyrus' stye has evolved and become edgier. While we doubt the blue hue will be one she sports for a long time, it's certainly her take on punk and it's fun.
Tell us, PopCrushers — what do you think of Miss Miley's blue hue? And what's with pop stars going blue lately? Cher Lloyd just went blue.

The trial for a 36-year-old Hutchinson man charged with aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer and drugs charges ended with a mistrial before it even really started.
Judge Trish Rose was mentioning the charges with the potential jury pool present, and she accidentally mention that Troy Harris has a prior conviction for possession of marijuana. That's a no-no and Defense Attorney Kelly Driscoll immediately objected and requested a mistrial. Judge Rose realizing her mistake agreed and declared a mistrial. The jury pool was dismissed and the trial is now rescheduled for December 11.
Harris is charged with a level three offense with a sentencing range of 55-to-247 months depending on his past criminal history, this for the aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer. Other charges include possession of marijuana with a prior conviction and possession of methamphetamine.
Harris was arrested after a traffic stop by Hutchinson Police at 6th & Keast back on November 28, 2011 and they discovered he had an outstanding warrant. As they attempted to take him into custody, he struggled with officers and is alleged to have choked and bit Hutchinson Police Detective Pat Voth. He managed to get away from officer's a number of times, but was captured each time. He was also alleged to have drugs in the vehicle leading to the drug charges.
Harris is no stranger to the law having served time for drugs in 2005, and indecent liberties with a child for a case going back to 1992.

Friends of Deir Ibzi'a
San Francisco Bay Area/Deir Ibzi'a, West Bank
Providing scholarships for students and income for women living under occupation in Palestine
The Friends of Deir Ibzi'a are activists who traveled to Palestine with the International Solidarity Movement in the summer of 2002. They found themselves participating in a children's summer camp that was organized during the Israeli invasion of the West Bank and a 4-month-long siege of the village. The organizer, Deeb Kamal, had been concerned that the children in his village of Deir Ibzi'a were traumatized and depressed. He asked for international accompaniment to lessen the chances that the Israeli military would interfere. The camp turned out to be a wonderful, chaotic, joyful and educational experience for children and adults alike.
The Scholarship Project
The activists returned to the San Francisco Bay Area energized to work for the future and freedom of Palestine. Inspired by the camp's commitment to education, they dedicated themselves to raising money for scholarships for the students in Deir Ibzi'a. They agreed with Deeb that the future of Palestine depends on the children being happy and well adjusted, and especially getting a good education. Read more about the Friends of Deir Ibzi'a Scholarship Fund.
The Computer Center
An additional project has been to raise funds dedicated to the creation of a computer center in the village of Deir Ibzi'a. The center focuses on classes for youth and women, bringing computer education and Internet access to the village. The greater plan is to eventually purchase land and build a computer center capable of serving not only Deir Ibzi'a but many of the small, surrounding villages as well.
The Embroidery Project
The economic devastation of the Palestinian economy is a well known and ongoing problem and was a motivation for the Friends of Deir Ibzi'a to start a partnership with the women in the village. We buy their embroidery at a fair trade price which generates income for them and at the same time helps to fund the scholarship program. An additional benefit is that their amazingly beautiful embroidered purses, pillow covers, and wall hangings are made available here, each with an attractive tag providing information about the women who have created the items.
Our Commitment to Education
Unfaltering in our commitment to education and the belief that a hopeful future demands it, some of us have been giving presentations about the situation in Palestine to groups in various venues, including workplaces, schools, libraries, and churches. These presentations have been extremely well received and many people have commented that they better understand what they read in the news after having heard us speak. If you know of an appropriate venue — a classroom, a church, or any community group — please contact Wendy to set up a presentation.
You Can Donate!
We continue to unwaveringly hold to the vision that the future of Palestine rests with the young generation and our ability to ensure that they receive a good education. We hope that you will embrace this vision and help bring it to fruition by donating to the Friends of Deir Ibzi'a. Please give online or mail a check to the Middle East Children's Alliance with "FoDI" in the memo. Thank you from the Friends of Deir Ibzi'a and the Middle East Children's Alliance!

Ugly Gun Sunday
The original delivered cost for the Liberator, with original box and ammunition was $2.40 per pistol. A FP-45 in good condition today will command around $2500-$3000 with the correct climate and collectors in the room. The original box will bump the price up an additional $1500. A comic strip instruction insert was included with the pistol as well as a wooden dowel for reloading. If these are present (original as shown by a hard to fake watermark), it would take $5000-$5500 for the entire package to change hands. But it is still ugly.
The FP-45 is proof that an ugly gun is not necessarily inexpensive, or undesirable. It's just ugly. I want one.
I cannot remember where I stole this beautiful photo from several years back, but if it belongs to to you, thank you for taking and publishing it.

1) ARMCHAIR MIDFIELDER ["Best of U.S. Soccer 2003": Who Should Win]
A monthly column about the State of U.S. Soccer that takes a hard look at everything from the performance of the U.S. National Teams to pro soccer in the good 'ole U-S-of-A . If you're looking for a viewpoint that you won't see in a generic, nuts-and-bolts U.S. Soccer press release, you've come to the right place.
The Armchair Midfielder is an opinionated person (in case you hadn't noticed from past issues). And the Armchair Midfielder has been known to try to influence others with said opinions, which is the goal of this piece as we make picks for U.S. Soccer's second annual "Best of…" series of awards. [Editor's Note: Fans can vote once daily for one or all of the 11 awards from now until Dec. 9 at ussoccer.com] The envelope, please!!! Below are the best picks (okay, the opinion of one man) for the "Best of U.S. Soccer 2003" honors:
1) Best U.S. Soccer Story: This is a toughie. If the category was biggest U.S. Soccer story, it would be the Women's World Cup being moved to the USA. If it was the most-talked-about story, it would definitely be the "Great U.S. Hope" tale of Fab Freddy. But my vote for Best U.S. Soccer Story goes to Timmy Howard, whose out-of-nowhere signing and remarkable performance while being thrown into the English Premier League fire at Man-U is the stuff of legends.

A section that will let you get to know the real personalities of your favorite Men's, Women's and Youth National Team players through various funny and unique first-person accounts. In this issue, you'll find:
2) IN THREEs (w/ U-20 MNT forward Mike Magee)
What's it going to be? Door number one, door number two, or door number THREE?!? Okay, so this section has less to do with "Let's Make A Deal" and more to do with the Multiple Choice section of an SAT test. "In Threes" peeks inside the head of a select National Team player as they pick one of three choices for 20-some questions about personal tastes and pop culture.
To get to know U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team star Mike Magee, we take a look at his already impressive resume for the position of Top Young U.S. Forward, followed by the answers to his rapid-fire job interview.
Mike Magee
Age: 19
Hometown: Long Grove, Ill.
Best U.S. city: L.A., N.Y.C. or Chicago?
"Chicago. I grew up there, and there just isn't any comparison."
Best date activity: Movie, Theatre, or Comedy Club?
"I would definitely say a movie. I'm a big movie guy. Plus, if you don't like the girl, you don't have to talk to her."
Best way to relax on the road: see a movie, shop at the mall or play video games?
"Playing video games. We play 'Tiger Woods Golf' a lot."
Favorite undergarment: Boxers, briefs or boxer-briefs?

3) MAKING IT IN THE SHOW (w/ U-23 MNT defender Nat Borchers)
Every so often, we ask a U.S. Youth National Team player who has established themselves in the pro ranks to look back on their first year and tell us about their experiences, good and bad. This time, the 750-word essay assignment was given to Colorado Rapids rookie and current University of Denver graduate student Nat Borchers, whose rapid-ly (Get it? "Rapid"-ly? Huh? Huh? Is this thing on?) improving play across the MLS season earned him his first call-up to the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team camp and a chance to help the team qualify for the 2004 Olympics. Borchers gives us a first-hand account of his roller coaster year that included going undrafted at the 2003 MLS SuperDraft in January, making his first appearance on June 6 and then starting and playing every minute of the next 26 games for one of the better teams in the league.
"As I look back on the events of the previous 11 months, I'm still not sure if I'm awake or if I'm still dreaming.
"In early January of this year I was doing what most college students my age were doing: looking for a job. After a poor tryout with the Dallas Burn, I was interning with Price Waterhouse Coopers, an accounting firm in the Denver area. As a senior at Denver University, taking the quarter off of school to participate in an internship is a recommendation and is necessary to get real world experience in accounting.
"On January 17, three weeks into my internship, the MLS had its draft. I was at work and constantly checked the Internet with great anticipation. I always had dreams of playing professional soccer, but I knew that the odds were not in my favor...

4) "QUERIES & ANECDOTES" (w/ WNT defender Brandi Chastain)
Off-the-wall Questions and Answers, Queries and Anecdotes from U.S. Women's National Team defender Brandi Chastain.
Brandi Chastain, the biggest star to come out of the Women's World Cup in 1999, had to take a back seat in 2003 after suffering a broken right foot in the opening game of the tournament, causing her to miss the rest of the competition. After delivering the title four years ago with her game-winning, pressure-cooker penalty kick, Chastain was forced to the bench by a bone not any bigger than a Hot Tamale, and left wondering if she might have been able to add that extra something on the field that would have seen the team playing on the morning of Oct. 12 instead of the afternoon of the day before.
But that wasn't the only soul-searching that Brandi was forced to do in 2003. She also had a pair of personal traumas, losing both her parents -- her mom Lark and her dad Roger --within seven months of each other. Her 2004 has also taken on a vastly different look with demise of the WUSA. Even after experiencing those setbacks, Chastain was the best cheerleader the USA could have asked for on the U.S. bench, constantly encouraging her teammates and giving support from the sidelines throughout the tournament. Now she's ready to leave that role behind and get back on the field to try to make the team for the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
Center Circle: Looking back on the struggles of 2003 in both your personal and professional life, I can't help but be reminded of the Book of Job. Do you feel like you've this year has been one big test, perhaps the biggest test of your life?
Brandi Chastain: "I look at it being a different challenge. Each challenge I face, seems to be paramount to the challenge before. Hurting my foot was just another type of challenge, one my mom would have told me that I was fortunate to have the opportunity to face. Media types were talking a lot about this World Cup being the last time the veterans will be together. That could be true, but none of the players look at each game like the end is coming. So in that way, I am taking the games like I always have. I want to work hard, get better, contribute to winning and enjoy my team and the players and the places we are fortunate enough to travel to. There are so many more things about the process that I look forward to besides the winning."
CC: Looking back, was there one thing that got you through such a difficult year?
BC: "I think the memories of the good times. The lessons learned, and also possibly the hard times when my parents were there and they never let me give up. They always believed in me. And couple that with the support of teammates and my family all helped get me through it. I remember going back to my second knee surgery, I started to understand the idea that you just have to do things, to move on, to progress. You do things, that's just what you do.

5) "MARK THAT CALENDAR" [U-20 MNT vs. Group D – 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship / Live on MatchTracker]
A stern reminder about an upcoming U.S. Soccer-related event, whether you plan to check it out live and in person, on the "telly" or that wacky world wide web.
It seems like forever since the original FIFA Under-20 Youth Championship was to be played in United Arab Emirates back in the Spring (initially scheduled for March 25-April 16). The eight months that have passed since the tournament was postponed means that instead of sharing Thanksgiving Day dinner back home with family, they'll be in a ballroom eating pasta in a city dubbed Abu Dhabi.
The postponement also means that a fair share of U.S. Under-20 players have actually now turned 20. But while some might no longer be teenagers, they're still being counted on for a solid placing at the USA's ninth world championship at this age level.
The U.S. will need strong performances from young MLS stars like D.C. United and full Men's National Team midfielder Bobby Convey, MetroStars forward Mike Magee (who led the U-20s in scoring in 2002 with 14 goals), Dallas Burn forward Eddie Johnson and Indiana University midfielder Ned Grabavoy to earn difficult points against Group F opponents Paraguay (Nov. 29), Germany (Dec. 2) and South Korea (Dec. 5).
In the back, the U.S. is led by a trio of top collegiate defenders in Stanford's Chad Marshall, C.J. Klaas (Univ. of Washington) and Ryan Cochrane (Santa Clara), as well as Liverpool defender Zak Whitbread and Santa Clara goalkeeper Steve Cronin.
Fans can follow all of the action live on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics.

6) SUPERSTAR!!! (w/ WNT defender Cat Reddick)
A monthly feature about a U.S. Men's, Women's or Youth National Team player whose performance demands that bright, shining spotlight. This month, it falls to Southern Belle and recent U.S. Women's World Cup standout defender Catherine Reddick. You can call her Cat, but only if you buy her some barbecue and a tall glass of sweet tea at Dreamland next time you're in her neck o' the woods in Birmingham.
…Got That Right!
Cat Reddick had the 2003 Women's World Cup all figured out. She would sit on the bench as a key reserve and hopefully get some quality minutes in a few games. She would run on the field at the end of the championship game to celebrate the USA's Women's World Cup title (maybe even be on the field as a late-game defensive sub) and enjoy every minute of the journey. It was going to be fun.
Well, she got the last part right. Reddick did enjoy every minute of her first Women's World Cup, but due to the broken right foot suffered by starting central defender Brandi Chastain in the first half of the USA's opening match against Sweden in Washington, D.C., Reddick's tournament changed dramatically at halftime in the locker room at RFK Stadium. She went on for Chastain at the start of the second half and immediately made an impact, stuffing several Swedish attacking forays during the 45 minutes in which the Swedes had the USA on its heels, helping the Americans secure an historic 3-1 victory. She never left the field from that point, starting and playing all 90 minutes in the USA's next five matches.

7) "POINT/COUNTERPOINT" (Who will win MLS Cup 2003?)
In this playful piece, we pose a question or make a statement about something in soccer that will be opined about, agreed and disagreed on, by YOU, the reader. No more talking heads giving safe, politically correct answers. Those days are over. Instead, we've opened the floor to everyone out there in Cyberland to throw in their two cents.
With the MLS season now down to four teams after this weekend, there's no better time than the present to make predictions for who will be holding the trophy in Carson on Nov. 23, so we asked fans: Who will win MLS Cup 2003? Buoyed by their dazzling and almost-too-hard-to-imagine win over the Galaxy, San Jose has replaced Chicago as the popular choice, but depending on what region of the country you're from, all four teams have a shot at the title. Below are the best of the best responses:
San Jose Earthquakes:
"After completing the highly improbable comeback against a veteran Galaxy team on Sunday evening, the Quakes will ride that momentum right down to The Home Depot Center in L.A. The leadership of the Earthquakes never even contemplated the possibility of losing. Ekelund got his whole team going after the Galaxy scored their second goal, Goose kicked in his offense dramatically with a brilliant free kick and Donovan streaked by the stretched Galaxy defense. The Quakes are now a team of destiny! They have battled hard all season long through injuries, national team call-up's and complacency over being the best team in MLS. Now is the time to step up and re-capture the Cup."
- Andy Sinsigalli / 36 / San Jose, Calif.

8) "YOU DON'T KNOW JACK (MARSHALL)" (U.S. World Youth Championship Trivia)
Think you know your soccer trivia? We'll be the judge of that. Pop quiz: who the heck is Jack Marshall? Even the trivia buffs in the U.S. Soccer Communications Department would be hard-pressed to tell you that one Jack Marshall received his one and only cap way back in 1926. Okay, that was pretty much impossible. They get easier. We give you four questions at varying difficulty levels, from 1 (easiest) to 4 (hardest).
Much like our history in the U-17 World Youth Championship, we've had ups and downs across the nine times that our Under-20 Men's National Team has participated in the FIFA World Youth Championship. But like any biased organization, we'll focus on the positives. (Come on, you'd do it too.)
Q1: Which forward on the U-20 National Team was picked fourth overall in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft after leading the U-20 MNT in scoring in 2002?
[Hint: Read "In 3's" or "Mark That Calendar"]
Q2: What U.S. Men's National Team forward is the only player in U.S. men's history to finish a FIFA Tournament as one of the top three scorers, winning the Bronze Boot at Nigeria 1999?
Q3: What year did the U.S. post its all-time best fourth place finish behind the likes of defender Troy Dayak, midfielder Chris Henderson and defender Steve Snow?
Q4: Which of the five players listed below has NOT scored a goal during a FIFA World Youth Championship tournament?

BOSTON (Jan. 1)
Fred Monosson, national Zionist leader, has returned here from a visit to Russia with a report that there is no Jewish life in Russia, Everywhere he went, he said, he looked for Jewish places but only in the synagogues was he absolutely certain that those present were Jews.
"Since no books are published in Yiudish and all Jewish cultural institutions have been closed down and do not function, there is no Jewish life, " he reported. He said that in a theatre in Odessa, he found 700 Jews who came to see a pray in Yiddish, adding that he found that they wanted to be together and to be among Jews "even though many of them did not understand a word of Yiudish and parts of the play had to be translated." The pro gram for the play was printed in Russian, not Yiddish, he said.
On his visits to synagogues he found "only elderly folks, from 65 years and up, no younger generation." Asked whether he found evidence that Russian Jews wanted to go to Israel, he said: "The elderly people, yes. But when it comes to the present generation, who for 40 years have absorbed and lived completely under the spell of Soviet rule, what do they know about Israel and the new life and happiness our Jewish nation could bring them."

Hamilton Tiger-Cats
2011: Third place in East Division (8-10), before stunning Montreal in the first round of the playoffs. Lost to Winnipeg in East final.
Biggest change: Henry Burris lost the starter's job in Calgary but will be the main man for new head coach George Cortez (former quarterbacks coach of the NFL's Buffalo Bills and long-time CFL assistant). First-year receivers coach Jeremaine Copeland had a depth of talent to work with in camp, with Canadians Andy Fantuz, Samuel Giguère and Dave Stala complementing 2011 CFL rookie of the year Chris Williams and Bakari Grant.
Biggest question: Can the offensive line give Burris enough time to find his receivers or will he forget he's 37 and run the ball? Running backs Avon Cobourne and Chevon Walker provide the ground game.
Predicted 2012 finish: First in the East.
Montreal Alouettes
2011: Second in the East at 10-8, but bowed out quickly in playoffs.
Biggest change: The Als will have to endure a younger defence. Safety Matthieu Proulx and defensive tackle Eric Wilson retired. The Als cut more than 20 players from camp early and – with last week's release of veteran safety Étienne Boulay, rush end Anwar Stewart and linebacker Diamond Ferri – have poked holes in the defence that lost 52-44 to Hamilton in the East semi-final. They have a new defensive co-ordinator (Jeff Reinebold, head coach in Winnipeg in 1997-98) and a variety of new players.
Biggest question: The offence is still basically the same, but how long will it be until the calendar creeps up on quarterback Anthony Calvillo? He still has a strong arm – he completed seven of 10 passes in a short preseason appearance against Toronto – but the cancer survivor turns 40 this summer.
Predicted 2012 finish: Third in the East.
Toronto Argonauts
2011: Fourth in East at 6-12. Missed the playoffs.
Biggest change: Head coach Scott Milanovich comes over from Montreal, where he was the offensive co-ordinator. The Argos have new quarterbacks – two-time Grey Cup champ Ricky Ray (Edmonton) and long-time backup Jarious Jackson (B.C.) – and an all-Canadian offensive line. New defensive boss Chris Jones has his work cut out for him. The most porous defence in the East gave up more than 100 points more than the team scored last year.
Biggest question: The Argos won both their exhibition games, but the quarterbacks saw limited duty and didn't get into a rhythm. Pending the return of receiver Jason Barnes, will there be enough touches for running backs Cory Boyd and Chad Kackert? On a punch-less team, Kackert had 57 carries for 349 yards and four touchdowns while backing up CFL all-star Boyd in 2011.
Predicted 2012 finish: Second in the East.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers
2011: First place (10-8). Was the East's representative in the Grey Cup (won by the B.C. Lions).
Biggest change: Offensive and defensive lines are facing a makeover. The retirement of eight-year centre Ibrahim (Obby) Khan and defensive tackle Doug Brown, plus the free-agent departure of all-star offensive guard Brendon LaBatte and the CFL's co-leader in sacks, Odell Willis, to Saskatchewan, has left head coach Paul LaPolice to cobble together new combinations.
Biggest question: Buck Pierce is the CFL's most-resilient quarterback, but, in his eighth year, can he quickly adapt to a new offensive line? He'll have to scramble a lot – last year he ran 51 times for 324 yards – and he's had some 23 injuries in his career. Pierce ranked seventh among CFL quarterbacks last season with a modest 3,348 yards (261 completions) – about 2,000 fewer than league leader Calvillo.
Predicted 2012 finish: Fourth in the East.

Author has written 14 stories for Uglies, Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, Alice in Wonderland, 2010, Empire Records, Misc. Comics, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Avatar: Last Airbender, Wintergirls, Den of Shadows, and Scooby Doo.
Hello everyone,
I would love if you all would review my work, writing can always be improved.
I write a lot of supernatural stuff, which is also what I read.
Story Summaries:
Empire of problems - Not quite done, I have some more people left to cover. If you read it, please review, not many people are Empire Records fans.
Flock 7 - I really do like this story, but the general public doesn't seem to. Haven't updated in a while. Maybe if more people read and reviewed, I would. DISCONTINUED
Fright Side - One of my favorite fics so far because I can do whatever I want, not that I can't ALWAYS do whatever I want, but it really works in this situation. People seem to like it, too.
Kicked Out - A one-shot and my absolute favorite fanfic I have written. Please Read and review. Please. It's not like there are many Scary Godmother fics out there!
Let Go - One-shot of a kind of love triangle between Kennedy, Willow, and Tara. It was written to explain some of the stuff that went on between Willow and Kennedy.
LoveHate - A Fuffy fanfic, I can continue or leave it where it is. I have yet to decide.
Maddie Hatter - Okay, I wrote an amazing chapter a while ago and...lost it. Sorry. DISCONTINUED FOR THE TIME BEING
Now and Then - A one shot about Nikolas and his blood bond, Rosebelle. Please, please, please read this if you are a Den of Shadows fan. There doesn't seem to be many of us and there's not many fanfics, either.
Resurrection - An Avatar fanfic where Aang embarks on a mission to save his people. I am working on it currently and it should be done at some point within the next month (End of July).
Snap - A one-shot about a dystopian civilization. Loosely based on the Uglies. I wrote it for school.
Beldam's Curse - A short poem describing the Beldam and plot from Coraline.
'Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas - Just a fun collection of song parodies with pieces of a story in between.
Widow's Tears - Something no one ever reads. I've gotten like three views on it in the last year and a half. It's a William Shakespeare parody I wrote. Very sad. Made people cry.
Zero - A short poem about anorexia.
About me:
I listen to death metal, heavy metal, hard rock, grunge, and classic rock. My favorite bands are KoRn, Slipknot, Nirvana, The Offspring, Tool, Linkin Park and Marilyn Manson.
Favorite movies are The Skeleton Key, Titanic, Empire Records, Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and Beetlejuice, Stephen King's "It" as well as many others.

Jack: No, wait. Let me try and get this out. You're amazing...And I know I have nothing to offer to you, Rose, I know that. But I'm involved now. You jump, I jump, remember? I can't turn away without knowing you'll be alright."
Rose: It's not up to you to save me, Jack.
Jack: You're right. Only you can do that. - Titanic
"What do you mean, no I won't? Don't presume to tell what I will and will not do. You don't know me." - Rose from Titanic
"Welcome to Sunnydale High. There's no running in the halls, no yelling, no gum-chewing. Apart from that, there's only one rule: if they move, kill them." - Principal Wood from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

SKIPTON and Settle Cricket clubs have joined forces to create a new up beat cricket competition. Thursday evening sees the inaugural match between the two Craven rivals for the new Craven 20/20 Cup at Sandylands, start 6.15. Both clubs see the potential to attract new customers, younger spectators and an opportunity to develop their own younger players.
The clubs have agreed to play to the Ribblesdale League 20/20 rules which sees fielding circles and a maximum of 4 overs per bowler, however they have been tremendously innovative and will play a two legged "soccer style" affair. Meaning that even though a team has lost the first game they will still be in with a big shout of lifting the new trophy in the 2nd leg.
Settle chair and stalwart Andrew Davidson says his Settle outfit are excited about the the Craven Derby clash. He told the herald that the Skipton Settle fixture in the 1950s when both played in the Ribblesdale League was an eagerly awaited clash.
" I recall some of the old ones years ago telling me how the ground was packed for the Skipton game, so this is a real opportunity to resurrect the old rivalry.
"Skipton have been so pro active and when we first discussed the idea they were full of enthusiasm, so we decided to give it a go and hope that a couple more Craven teams will join us next year.
"The 20/20 games are a huge event on a Friday evening on The Marshfield. The juniors love watching, the locals come down in droves and the players really enjoy a game on a Friday night. We actually take our 20/20 games very seriously as we are totally focused on winning the league trophy."
The Dalesmen have an impressive record this year and if they win the Ribblesdale League competition, will host the Northern section of the ECB national competition, which will include a Sky TV appearance. The eagerly awaited clash starts at Sandylands on Thursday evening with the return leg at The Marshfield the following Frida.y

ClientBuildManager.PrecompileApplication Method
Precompiles an ASP.NET application.
This member is overloaded. For complete information about this member, including syntax, usage, and examples, click a name in the overload list.
|Precompiles an ASP.NET application.
|Precompiles an ASP.NET application and provides a callback method to receive status information about the build.
|PrecompileApplication(ClientBuildManagerCallback, Boolean)
|Precompiles an ASP.NET application, provides a callback method to receive status information about the build, and indicates whether to create a clean build.
ASP.NET supports three forms of precompilation. One form allows for the in-place precompilation of an ASP.NET application. In this form, the site is deployed to production and then precompiled, which eliminates the need to dynamically compile the site when it is first visited by a user. The first user of the site will not experience the delay normally encountered on a site that is dynamically compiled.
The two other forms of precompilation are used for deployment. In either form, a layout of the site is generated that can be deployed to a production computer. One of these forms includes the markup pages so some amount of updating can be performed on the compiled site. The other form does not contain the markup pages and therefore cannot be updated without recompiling the original site. No source code is deployed to the target environment in either of these forms of precompilation.
The application to precompile is defined through the ClientBuildManager constructor. The ClientBuildManagerParameter object of the ClientBuildManager constructor defines which of the three forms of precompilation to perform.
A developer can precompile a Web site with the aspnet_compiler command-line tool or by calling the PrecompileApplication method.

Baby Maxwell's first flight!
New parents Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson flew from Los Angeles to New York City with their 4-month-old daughter Maxwell on Sunday (September 9). The doting daddy carried their baby in the car seat, while the Fashion Star mentor toted an oversized bag in an all black ensemble.
"I'm not a supermodel. My body is not bouncing back like a supermodel," Jessica recently said of her postpartum weight-loss. "I'm just your everyday woman who is trying to feel good and be healthy for her daughter, her fiancé and herself."
Watch for Jessica to appear on Katie Couric's new talk show, Katie, on Monday, September 10. The new mom will talk about how she's juggling motherhood, the challenge of losing her pregnancy weight, and her billion-dollar business empire in her first television interview since having her daughter in May.

Katie Holmes Arrives at Her NYC Apartment
Frequent Flier Katie Holmes Visits the Big Apple While Tom Rocks Miami
Katie Holmes returned home to her Manhattan apartment yesterday in an Isabel Marant jacket and wide leg jeans, but later changed into a long gown for the Annual Drama Desk Awards. She's done her fair share of traveling over the past week with stops in Miami, Chicago, LA, and now NYC. Suri accompanied Katie on the first leg of the journey in Florida, where the girls spent time relaxing by the pool while Tom Cruise worked on his Rock of Ages choreography. Tom and Katie then continued onto the Windy City to bid farewell to Oprah before parting ways so Katie could continue to the West Coast for the Beauty Culture photography exhibit. Katie's dividing her time between family, fashion, and philanthropy, but she'll soon add acting back into the mix when she starts filming Responsible Adults opposite Gossip Girl's resident playboy Chace Crawford.

Eventually I received yesterday my first ebook reader, it's a pocketbook 603 and I'm partially happy about it.
I chose the pocketbook for the "openness" but I've spent the whole day struggling to get an additional dictionary working, with no luck.
And given the device is a new model it's hard to find info/troubleshooting
I've downloaded several dictionaries taken from links in this forum, no one worked.
I've also downloaded some from
and converted them using the official converter:
but also here I had no luck.
Ok, time I describe the issue:
after I get the dictionaries I copy them to /system/dictionaries and they become available - I can select them in the dictionary application and in the integrated dictionary in fbreader.
I can see they're are *somehow* recognized by the fact that their entire long name is shown in the dictionary list (made also some experiments changing the proper field in the xdxf files before converting).
But whenever I open the dictionary from the fbreader, having selected a new dictionary I added, the device hangs for a moment and then jumps back to the home screen.
Something similar happens in the standalone dictionary application, I get the program to run (strangely it displays a different keyboard compared to the one shown when using the default dictionaries) but whenever I enter a key again small freeze and back to the home screen.
The very bad thing is, there's no way to get rid of this behavior without connecting the device to the pc and deleting the dictionary file.
And that's because I can't change the current selected dictionary, whenever I open the list, boom, back to the home screen.
Has anybody tried *successfully* additional dictionaries with the new pocketbook 603?
In case a link would be more than welcome!
Thanks in advance for your help.
ps my firmware is 2.0.4, the only one available for the device at the moment as far as I know
I have the same problem. I have tried to use a couple of dictionaries in spanish (ES-ES) in DIC format, get in a spanish forum, that are used by people of this forum in PB360. In PB603 become available when I put in sytem/dictionaires but don´t work, and back to me to the home screen.
Thanks (my firmware is 2.0.4 too)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2012 (1737 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LONDON -- Britain named its first elected police and crime commissioners Friday, but voter turnout was the lowest in recent history.
The commissioners will be responsible across most of England and Wales for appointing chief constables and setting budgets for police departments, but Thursday's vote failed to stir interest.
Authorities said in the southwestern England county of Wiltshire -- the first area to announce its results -- just 15.8 per cent of those eligible had voted. Britain's 2010 national election had a turnout of 65 per cent of eligible voters.
Prime Minister David Cameron's government had hailed elected police commissioners, along with directly elected city mayors, as shifting power into the hands of communities.

Looking for a firm idea of when the Federal Reserve might shift gears? Sorry, it isn't ready to provide that guidance.
At their Oct. 29-30 meeting, Fed policymakers tried to decide how to begin reversing extraordinary measures put in place in response to the financial crisis. Newly released minutes from the meeting provide nothing more specific than that a downshift in asset purchases could be called for "in coming months."
Why the lack of clarity? John Canally, chief economist with LPL Financial, says "It's all muddled up because we've never been down this road before." Amid the uncertainty along the uncharted road, Canally says the result could be "some volatility and hiccups in markets."
The latest Bloomberg Global Poll found that "four of five investors expect the Federal Reserve to delay a decision to begin reducing its bond buying until March 2014 or later," Bloomberg reports. The pace of asset purchases has been stuck at $85 billion a month.
Such a shift as early as March would likely come during Janet Yellen's first meeting as Fed chair. That assumes she is confirmed by the Senate as expected. Chairman Ben Bernanke's term ends in late January.
The minutes say members of the Federal Open Market Committee generally agreed "there had been little change in the economic outlook since the September meeting." All but one thought "it would be appropriate for the Committee to await more evidence that progress toward its economic objectives would be sustained before adjusting the pace of asset purchases." Some members considered when it might be appropriate to wind down bond buying "before an unambiguous further improvement in the outlook as apparent."
There's concern that the Fed is causing bubbles, which is something easy to fear but hard to prove. Economist Paul Edelstein at IHS Global Insight said in a note, in response to the minutes, that "the view that quantitative easing is creating financial excesses isn't shared by all Fed officials, particularly Janet Yellen."
One dissenting FOMC member thought the economy had improved enough that "the continued easing of monetary policy at the current pace was no longer necessary." It is a pretty good bet that member is Esther George, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, who voted against the committee's actions. The minutes say she noted "cumulative progress" in the job market.
"A couple of participants" spoke in favor of reducing the current 6.5 percent unemployment rate threshold for raising the benchmark federal funds rate. Others said that would cause a problem regarding the view of the "durability" of the group's commitment to the threshold. In other words, that would raise a question about the Fed's ability to stick to its word.
The Fed likely wants to see improvement in the coming monthly jobs reports before deciding to throttle back. There is also another looming series of federal budget deadlines in the coming months, although FOMC members "saw the economic effects of the partial shutdown of the federal government as temporary and limited."
Canally notes that economists generally look for growth slightly above 2.6 percent next year, which would reflect less drag from federal and state governments.
We also learned that the FOMC held a video conference Oct. 16, which was the day before the risk of a U.S. default. The minutes say those in the meeting agreed that "a delay in payments on Treasury securities would be potentially catastrophic, and thus such a situation should be avoided at all costs."
Congress and President Barack Obama were able to forge an agreement before the deadline.
What do you think the Fed plans on doing in the coming months?

To find out which shoe trends are on the horizon, we turned to Tampa's International Academy of Design and Technology. Students in Martin Mundo's trend-forecasting class predicted what's on the horizon, based on runway shows, trend reports and conversations with shoe store managers. — Dalia Colón firstname.lastname@example.com
1. Platforms. Everyone from IADT students to Steve Madden (see Page 52) has been hyping platforms. These shoes started in the 1400s, when folks just wanted to protect their feet from dirt and mud, said student Tysheema Parrish. Today sky-high heels are out, and platforms are back in. "You get the height, but they're more comfortable than pumps," said student Debra Stone. Modern platforms are extra-comfy, with soles made from flexible materials like cork and rattan. Metallic shades are especially popular.
2. Feminine details. Flowers, bows and lace have recently been spotted on runway shows by Isaac Mizrahi and Diane von Furstenberg. Look for flower-print pumps and bow closures. Student Jackie Montreuil showed off a pair of bow-embellished slippers she bought at Target — a sure sign the trend is catching on. The class agreed that a trend isn't necessarily over when it arrives at big-box stores; there's still time to jump on board.
3. T-straps. Trends don't just come out of nowhere; they evolve. T-strap sandals are an extension of last summer's gladiator craze. This year, they've been dressed up with a heel or platform, said student Kady Pontolilo.
4. Peep toes. Heels, flats, platforms — open-toed shoes are hot no matter how you wear them. For the fall, peep-toe booties will be in. And yes, it's fine to wear them with tights.
5. Heel decorations. Look for heels and wedges covered in netting, jewels, hardware and decorative cut-outs.
6. Old-school sneakers. "Guys' shoes are getting a little more flamboyant, a little more vibrant," said student Ngon Vu. As retro TV shows and comic books make a comeback, so will vintage kicks. Nike's line of skateboarding sneakers, called SBs, will be snatched up online. Try to get your hands on the Ferris Bueller, Bill Cosby and Pac-Man models.
7. Back to nature. Recession plus green movement equals wallet-friendly, earth-friendly footwear, said student Maggie Aldridge. In fact, at Paris Fashion Week in October, designer Karl Lagerfeld sent his models down the runway on a catwalk covered in hay. Look for shoes made from wood, cork and straw.
8. Hardware. Student Maegan Del Valle called it "militia chic": Gromets, studs and other details you'd normally find on handbags are showing up on footwear. The designs might be a response to the fragile economy. "The metals symbolize strength and stability and assertiveness," Del Valle said. Expect the military trend to grow more feminine in the future, with footwear like a military boot with an open toe and a heel.
9. Natural colors. Again, credit the economy. Beiges and browns match almost any outfit, so they're a great investment for budget-conscious consumers. Bonus: flesh tones make you look taller.
