Celebrate Hanukkah Joan Nathan Style
As FitSugar pointed out, you don't have to be Jewish to love a good potato latke. Well, the same can be said for a full Hanukkah dinner. I mean, who could turn down a hearty veggie soup, roasted meats and more latkes!
For a fantastic Hanukkah dinner plan I turned to Joan Nathan for inspiration. She's one of the foremost authorities (if not THE foremost authority) on Jewish cooking. With several Jewish cookbooks under her belt (including The Jewish Holiday Cookbook), I knew she couldn't let me down. For a great Sauerbraten (which literally means sour roast) recipe,
Note: Apparently this recipe is not exactly something FitSugar would want us to eat as it's pretty high in fat. However, you could cool it overnight and skim off the fat layer that forms. In fact, you'll probably want to do that.

Sauerbraten à la Nathan
From Joan Nathan
2 tsp salt
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 cup chile sauce
1 1/2 cup white vinegar
1 5-pound shoulder roast of beef, chuck roast, or end of steak beef brisket
1 chopped cup celery leaf
2 sliced onion
4 sliced carrot
1. Mix salt, brown sugar, chili sauce and vinegar together. Pour over meat and let stand overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat oven to 325°F.
3. Place meat in ovenproof casserole, pouring marinade over meat.
4. Cover meat with celery leaves, onions, carrots and 2 cups water.
5. Cover and bake for about 2 hours, basting often with marinade. Remove cover for 1 more hour. (Allow approximately 1/2 hour per pound for roasting.)
6. This dish is best prepared in advance so that fat can be easily skimmed from the surface. When ready to serve, slice and reheat in the strained pan marinade. Serves 8.
7. Alternate Method: You can also put all of the ingredients in a covered casserole and bake in a 200°F oven overnight, for about 9 hours. This slow cooking breaks down the membranes of the meat, making it a more tender roast.
8. Note: Sanford Herskovitz, known as Mr. Brisket in Cleveland, says that when the brisket is roasting, the point (fatter side) should be down; when reheating, the flat (leaner side) should be down. "Use a choice, whole brisket, never use a first cut, because the butcher throws away the fat and it's drier."

Frank DeCaro's The Dead Celebrity Cookbook is your kind of cookbook.
In The Dead Celebrity Cookbook: A Resurrection of Recipes from More Than 145 Stars of Stage and Screen, Frank DeCaro dusts off such culinary gems as Joan Crawford's poached salmon, Farrah Fawcett's Sausage and Peppers, and Elizabeth Taylor's Chicken with Avocados and Mushrooms, and serves them up with a side-order of smart pop culture commentary. The book is not just an ode to vintage cookery, but also an homage to some of the greatest stars of classic television, beloved films, and Broadway, and a viewing guide to boot. De Caro keeps our cherished dearly departed celebs alive in these recipes to die for. It's as much a movie trivia book as a cookbook. So foodies and movie buffs have something to talk about. Perhaps, at a party, while watching the Oscars or an old movie, sharing some of these classic gems from our favorite entertainment icons.
The Dead Celebrity Cookbook features such sumptuous recipes as:
An accomplished home cook and an even better eater, Frank DeCaro has been a New York Times columnist, a memoirist who one critic said "opened the door for David Sedaris," and the flamboyant movie critic on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

And, during the holiday season, Frank's offers up goodies from his new: Christmas in Tinseltown: Celebrity Recipes and Hollywood Memories from Six Feet Under the Mistletoe.

Can't Wait for Earnings to Start
The market has done a nice job of walking back to flat after the weak open, but this action is just plain boring. The small-cap indices are doing very well, which is a good sign, but there isn't much speculative action. The big excitement is a potential Dell (DELL) buyout and Facebook's (FB) announcement of a search function. Whoopee.
The good news is that earnings season kicks off tomorrow with reports from Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and a couple of others. Then we will have significant reports for the next few weeks. I'm not sure if earnings will produce a positive or negative bias, but at least we should see some movement and tradable action in individual stocks....60 more words left in this article.

IT IS crunch time for Basingstoke RFC as they seek to avoid getting dragged into a relegation dogfight.
Victory against visiting Barnes on Saturday will ease 'Stoke's fears of being sucked into an end-of-season battle to beat the drop from National League Three London.
The support from home fans will be crucial, and Basingstoke RFC director of rugby James Croker is calling on people to turn out in force and back his side at Down Grange.
Croker said: "The game is being sponsored by the Champion Group, and they will bring a big crowd. We want the fans to be the 16th man for us and cheer the boys on."
With three games remaining in the league season, 'Stoke are currently six points ahead of visiting Barnes, and with five points up for grabs for a bonus point win, there is all to play for.
Croker believes he will get the response he requires from his players in Saturday's game.
Last weekend, 'Stoke suffered a 67-19 defeat at the hands of home side Tring and the visiting players left the field gutted.
Croker said: "Everything went Tring's way in the game. It was all summed up for me when a kick off the side of a boot was caught by a winger for a try.
"That said we did not show-up until the second-half. The players now want to put things right and are chomping at the bit to get out there again."
When 'Stoke played Barnes earlier in the season they did not play well and lost 31-17.
The London side will be looking for the double in what is expected to be a battle royal at Down Grange.
Croker does not fear the visitors and said: "We will show them respect, but they have the third worst record in this division for a reason.
"They have a decent pack, but we want to get at them from the start and put our stamp on the game."
Captain Freddie Gleadowe is set to return for the clash, but 'Stoke will have to wait on the fitness of fly half Adam Davies along with Andy Hore and Guy Wilkinson, the last two picked up injuries in the defeat at Tring.
Whatever 15 take to the field this Saturday, you can be sure they will do all they can to get 'Stoke the victory they so deeply desire.

I've got the tomatoes, who's first in the stocks!
Paris, cause she also has loads of money to spend that she didn't work for.
The Information Commissioner has welcomed the High Court's decision to force MPs to publish their full expenses. The Court said the public had a right to know. "We have no doubt that the public interest is at stake. We are not here dealing with idle gossip, or public curiosity about what in truth are trivialities. The …
I've got the tomatoes, who's first in the stocks!
Paris, cause she also has loads of money to spend that she didn't work for.
... the beginnings of some accountability. I dread to think what's gonna come out in the wash, the way they've been fighting to keep it all secret.
People are gonna be up in arms...
thats all i can say, shame its a), took so damn long, and b), now cost us even more, shame most people work for a living and get no expenses, think i'll become an MP, after all, i only need to be good at bullshit, spend money that doesnt belong to me on things it shouldnt be spent on, bring in new laws that nobody needs or wants, and be so fucking incompetent it begs belief!
..for The Sun and Daily Mirror articles. Will be fun to see Labour going down even more...as if they can more since Cheshire Cat became PM ;)
Now that Speaker Martin and his cronies have lost their legal battle, they should be required to reimburse the taxpayers out of their own salaries. This would also provide a valuable lesson to other MPs who think they can spend public money without being called to account.
...and return the money to the tax payer.
Gaol time in the Tower of London if they don't.
(For the American audience, Gaol is the correct spelling of Jail. Just so you know!)
'Gaol' is a stupid spelling wrongness and must die.
HMRC (of lost DataBase fame) should simply tax @ 40% all claims NOT supported with a receipt.
The correct English spelling of 'Gaol' or the Americanizm of 'Jail'?
no no Sarah - Politicians are stupid wrongnesses, and should die in Gaol.
Actually that was an afterthought and if you really want you can delete it. The important comment is: Ahhhahahahahahahahaha - lets see how those theiving scum like it when we're poking our noses into their spending habits.
Comes from the French - and still used regularly as an alternative to 'prison' on TV news over there.
Nothing wrong with it!
@Sarah: Why aren't you in the pub yet?
How does one pronounce Gaol? wondered ever since I read Wind in the Willows. Is it like jail or is it like "ga-ol" or some weird French-type "gaoool"?
Cos she doesn't know either.
Its doesnt come from the frogs:
"Gaol is an early Modern English spelling for jail with the same pronunciation and meaning. Although jail is now more common, gaol is still the favoured spelling in parts of the Commonwealth of Nations, for example in Australia."
Quoting a popular online encyclopedia, and its not encarta
Last I checked, this was an English paper and should therefore stick to Queen's English at all times (even if the locals don't understand it).
I think the Tower is too good for the thieving MPs, councilors and the rest of the scum that "represent us". They should all be made to live on the dole in some stinking council estate, instead - and banned from holding public office ever again.
From the summary of the court case section 42:
"None of this is intended to suggest that the disclosure of an individual's private address under FOIA does not require justification. In the present case, however, there was a legitimate public interest well capable of providing such justification. Thus, for example, there is evidence which suggests that one MP claimed ACA for a property which did not exist, and yet further evidence may demonstrate that on occasions MPs claiming ACA were letting out the accommodation procured from the ACA allowance."
Intriguing it would appear that at least on MP is going to be caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
I cant wait :)
Radio/television announcer on each conviction...
Don't care if it only works in print.
If "Gaol" is good enough for Oscar Wilde's poems it's fine by me. Mind you whilst I don't see it very often in everyday use, it is nice to see that some people stubbornly cling to proper usage of a language that, in my personal opinion, does not receive the respect it deserves.
Paris, because she didn't spend enough time in there.
....you will see all this info?
Next parliment, first order of business first act to be passed will be to make secret and exempt from FOI all MP's expenses. Probably passed by an overwelming majority from all parties.
Why don't they have to pay back this money or give the second houses back to the state when they get kicked out or resign?
Let's surcharge the crims who put in a duff estimate for the olympic swimming pool.
on how much the "authorities" are p^h^h^h^h frittering away taxpayers money each week (day)?
By my reckoning its over a quarter of a million quid in the last few days what with the costs of this doomed appeal and the farce of shooting the messenger in the Channel4 vs the Police/CPS debacle.
It IS about time the Tower of London was refurbished for use.
Funny how the politicians don't quote their favourite mantra when they're being investigated.
Incidentally, some of the old vagrancy acts refer to the big house as the House of Correction.
This is why nothing gets done!
The point is that some crooks^W politicians are taking the taxpayers for a ride and everybody starts quibbling about semantics.
Jail, gaol, pokey, slammer or whatever. I'd like my taxes back please and the rules changed. Also the thieving bastards^W^W elected politicians need to be named and shamed (and/or put in prison)
No shocks there then. If he was willing to commit the lives of our soldiers, the lives of the Iraqi people and billions of pounds in tax payers money to an illegal war I'm sure he wouldn't have thought twice about abusing his expenses to pay for all sorts of things he shouldn't have.
We know all about convicts and gaol !
"Since the Reg is a "British" paper, not as one poster stated, an "English" paper... "
Depends what accuracy you're working to - to within about 10%, England *is* the UK.
10% of the population, providing 50% of the brains.
I know this is a really basic (dumb) question, but what is an "MP"?
Paris-cause I just don't, no shite
MP is an acronym meaning "Military-supported Parasite".

Arch: i dont tell people to try to initiate a loose pivot because 99% of players will not be able to hang on beyond the critical point.
I am like you in that i can initiate a loose pivot but time the grip pressure to tug the pivot harder that way. You are the exception and not the rule i have worked with a few players that were failing at drills because of this.
The thing i have come to learn is that it is not the pivot as much as it is the raw "edge weight" (aka the weight of the hammer's head) that is really being forcibly manipulated here. This explains why it is still possible to snap without extending the wrist as long as the relative positions of the forearm line up with the body positions and timing.
As i have said with all of these things, im not preaching a fixed action, only teaching a particular feeling that is unque to snap-based throws. That feeling can be achieved in many different ways, none of which are wrong, some of which are easier to learn, some are more consistent, some are stronger, etc
Based upon the distances you listed, you are on the cusp. If your wing span is under 5'10" you are probably full hitting. If your wing span is 6'3" or higher, you are likely closer to a half hit.
Try getting the water to shift to the front of the bottle, it may help boost your d another 30' or so.
Sd: with the rail method, if you hold onto it beyond the critical point the disc leaves when one of 3 things happen:
1. Your speed dramatically slows down
2. Your arc breaks off its curve and abruptly changes shape (e.g. Goes from round to flat in front).
3. Your arc passes the primary frontal apex and begins moving backwards (aka full hit zone)
As for staying online or not, i only worry about the last 6-10" of throw being correct, as that is where power and accuracy are determined. I suppose i could probably put more work on that (i tend to only analyze it when it causes the later parts to fail) but that's the next step: working with students that have broken to the last plateau and have begun fine tuning. 99% of my lesson work is targeted at hitting it harder.

Sometimes you can find yourself in a situation where you are suddenly faced with a message telling you that there's no more free space on your system. There might be a few things you can do to free some of it.
The first reason for that can be /tmp which doesn't get cleaned automatically. I create my temporary files in my home directory so I can safely delete the contents of /tmp every time I shut down the system. You don't have to do it manually, though. The following command should be placed in /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
As this file doesn't exist on the default installation of Slackware, you need to create it first and give it execution permission:
This will delete ALL the files in the /tmp directory every time the system shuts down, so be careful what you put there! Generally, the rc.local_shutdown file might also be useful in other ways. If you need to perform any other tasks on shutdown, you can put them in the file. Remember to test your commands well before you include them in the shutdown file.
The /tmp directory can also be mounted on a separate partition, which makes it easy to limit the size of the temporary files directory.
If you have been using sbopkg (an excellent Slackbuilds browser) for a long time, it might also have kept a lot of source files. First you can check (and optionally delete) if there are any obsolete cached sources:
# sbopkg -o [ Checking for obsolete sources ] This may take a few moments. Press <ESC> to abort. 100%[====================================================] It appears there are no obsolete sources in /var/cache/sbopkg.
As most people do not need the sources of packages installed via sbopkg, you may also want to clean the whole sbopkg cache. You can do it in sbopkg's utility menu.
It's also good practice to find directories/files that take up most space. The following command will display 20 largest files/directories in a specified place:
You can go through the list and decide which things you want to delete.
Update: A quicker way may be using ncdu.
Another way of freeing some space is by uninstalling the apps that you no longer need. If you don't know what you are doing, it is NOT recommended to uninstall anything from the Slackware's default installation. You might break some parts of the system . A safer approach would be uninstalling programs that you have manually installed either through sbopkg or any other way. You can browse programs installed via sbopkg using one of its menu items.
You can also remove packages using pkgtool. In order for pkgtool to be able to manage your package, it shouldn't be compiled using the traditional ./configure ; make ; make install method. You can either create your own slackbuild which will compile, package and install your application, or let the excellent src2pkg tool do it for you.
Happy cleaning

WORK should start soon on the first phase of a new £2.5million sports village in Burnley.
Council bosses are awaiting final confirmation that they have received £350,000 from the Football Foundation for the ambitious Prairie playing fields scheme.
The initiative has already been given £350,000 by Sport England and the authority will borrow £1.5million to make their proposals for a new '3G' sports pitch, gym and driving range a reality.
Councillors have approved plans, subject to the grant being approved by the foundation's board, for construction to begin on the synthetic pitch before the end of the 2013-14 financial year. Mick Cartledge, community services director, said in his report: "This ambitious scheme will see the regeneration of the Prairie site, with the development of new changing facilities, a gym and driving range.
"If the Football Foundation bid is successful, the scheme will lever in £700,000 of external funding. The business plan demonstrates prudential borrowing of £1.5million would be appropriate for funding the development."
Another £240,000 had been sought from the Big Lottery's Reaching Communities — Active Streets project.
Council bosses will now seek a development partner for the pavilion and golf driving range elements of the scheme, which will follow later. Plans are in place for a 'grassroots' academy there.
Management of the centre, which has been backed by the Lancashire FA, English Golf Union and Rugby Football League, is expected to be overseen by the borough's new leisure trust.

BROWNSEA Island has topped a public poll of the country's favourite nature reserves.
The National Trust-owned island, in Poole Harbour, was announced the winner after being nominated in the BBC's Countryfile Magazine poll.
Managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT), Brownsea – the spiritual home of the scout movement – has been open to the public for half a century.
DWT reserve manager Chris Thain said: "We are absolutely delighted to have been selected for this award.
"Winter is a particularly spectacular time to come to the lagoon and see not only a huge diversity of birds, but also in large numbers."
Already this year, reserve workers have counted 1,973 Black-tailed Godwits and 1,181 Avocets.
Mr Thain added: "The lagoon is vitally important to over wintering wildfowl and waders, and the flocks of birds are a very impressive sight – especially if you're a keen photographer."
Brownsea Island was up against stiff competition in the Countryfile poll, including the RSPB's Ouse Fen, Cambridgeshire, the Farne Islands, Northumberland, and the Bass Rock Scottish Seabird Centre in East Lothian, Scotland.
Claire Dixon, from the National Trust, said: "Brownsea is well known for its internationally important numbers of winter birds and this year, for the first time, there will be a guide in our public hide to help you spot the Avocets and Black-tailed Godwits as well as other waders.
"We also get ducks in very large numbers – we'd expect to have over 600, including Teal, Shelduck, Shoveler, Wigeon and Gadwell."
The island will open on the weekends from February 8 until March 16, then every day from March 22.
Claire said: "It will be a quiet and tranquil time on the island and a great opportunity to explore and spot wildlife, even the island's delightful Red Squirrels."

Yanks plan epidural for Youk; DL may be next
NEW YORK -- An MRI exam taken on Kevin Youkilis' stiff lower back came back negative, according to Yankees manager Joe Girardi, but the infielder is scheduled to receive an epidural injection on Tuesday and could be placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Girardi said that the team would discuss the next course of action with Youkilis over the several hours following Monday's 9-1 Yankees loss to the Astros.
"There's no changes in his back from recent MRIs," Girardi said. "It's just, he's having a problem. I don't know if he's in a position to play in two days."
Youkilis has missed eight of the Yankees' last nine games. He returned to action against the Blue Jays on Saturday but felt more discomfort in his back after waking up on Sunday.
"It was just one of those things waking up, and I didn't feel right," Youkilis said before Monday's game. "Sometimes, after your adrenaline's gone, things occur to you. We've just got to find out what's going on."
Youkilis has dealt with back issues in the past. He missed 14 games with back stiffness in 2011 and another 22 games last season with back tightness while with the Red Sox.
"You've got to suck it up sometimes -- you've got play through things," Youkilis said. "I thought I could play through it. I just didn't feel right after [Saturday], so I didn't play the next day."
Because Youkilis played on Saturday, the Yankees lost the ability to backdate his injury to the club's first series with Toronto, during which he initially felt the discomfort and missed action. Girardi said he did not have second thoughts about playing Youkilis.
"None whatsoever," Girardi said. "The player told us he was ready to go, and we put him in."

For some bowls, a shortage of eligible teams could be a problem this season.
In the Southeastern Conference, the problem is too many teams for too few slots in its top bowls.
The winner of the SEC Championship Game between Alabama and Georgia is virtually guaranteed a spot in the BCS Championship Game against No. 1 Notre Dame. Meanwhile, 11-1 Florida, No. 4 in the BCS standings, is all but certain to earn an automatic BCS slot if it stays in the top four, likely as the SEC champion's replacement in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
But that still leaves 10-2 LSU, 10-2 Texas A&M, 10-2 South Carolina and an SEC Championship Game loser with an 11-2 record to vie for spots in the Capital One, AT&T Cotton, Outback and Chick-fil-A bowls.
From LSU's perspective, the Tigers' bowl résumé is a strong one.
LSU is the SEC's highest-ranked team besides the conference's three BCS-eligible teams (Alabama, Georgia and Florida). The Tigers stayed at No. 7 in the season's second-to-last BCS standings, moved up a spot to No. 6 in the USA Today coaches' poll and fell one to No. 9 in The Associated Press Top 25.
LSU owns victories over BCS No. 9 Texas A&M (24-19) and BCS No. 10 South Carolina (23-21).
But when it comes to bowl selections, anything can happen unless automatic selections are involved. Ticket sales, TV appeal and the last time a team was in a bowl often are deciding factors. That can be a big mark against LSU when it's compared to A&M, the surprise team of the SEC led by Heisman Trophy front-runner Johnny Manziel at quarterback.
Here's a look at the four possible bowls for LSU:
Capital One Bowl
Noon, Jan. 1, Orlando, Fla. (ABC)
Last appearance for LSU: 2010 game (lost to Penn State, 19-17)
The Road to Orlando: There was a picture of LSU coach Les Miles on the Capital One Bowl's website Sunday night, and a message on its Twitter page said its selection committee would start with record and ranking and go from there to make its pick. The latter bodes well for the Tigers, though it would be tough for the Tigers to be selected over trendy Texas A&M or if Georgia is a close loser in the SEC Championship Game. However, the Cap One has only selected the SEC Championship Game loser twice since 2004. South Carolina likely would be less of a factor since it played in the Cap One last year, beating Nebraska 30-13, especially if Nebraska loses the Big Ten Championship Game to Wisconsin. Alabama, were it to lose to Georgia, might be hampered by the fact that it went to the Cap One two seasons ago, but the Crimson Tide likely would still be ranked ahead of LSU.
Possible opponents: Nebraska (10-2), Northwestern (9-3), Michigan (8-4). LSU has never played Michigan, and a game against Miles' alma mater would generate interest.
AT&T Cotton Bowl
7 p.m., Jan. 4, Arlington, Texas (Fox)
Last appearance for LSU: 2011 game (beat Texas A&M, 41-24)
The Road to Arlington: There is little argument that the Cotton Bowl would crave a matchup of Texas A&M and Texas above all, but there are potential roadblocks that could work in LSU's favor. Among them, the Capital One could snatch up Texas A&M, the Big 12 could lobby against its former member being in the game and Texas may not be the opponent. If the Longhorns, coming off a disappointing home loss to TCU, fall to Kansas State on Saturday, an 8-4 Texas team on a two-game losing streak probably wouldn't make the grade if Oklahoma State closes with a win. LSU's liability is that it was in this game two years ago and will be back in Cowboys Stadium in August to open the 2013 season against TCU, though an opener there against Oregon in 2011 didn't hurt the Tigers.
Possible opponents: Kansas State (10-1), Oklahoma (9-2), Texas (8-3), Oklahoma State (7-4). A game with Oklahoma State (which closes at Baylor) would create an interesting matchup with Miles' previous employer and his former assistant, Mike Gundy. K-State can drop here if it loses to Texas and Oklahoma beats TCU.
Outback Bowl
Noon, Jan. 1, Tampa, Fla. (ESPN)
Last appearance for LSU: 1989 game (lost to Syracuse, 23-10)
The Road to Tampa: LSU hasn't been in this game since it was called the Hall of Fame Bowl, and the Outback hasn't picked a team from the SEC West other than Alabama or Auburn since it hooked up with the SEC for the 1995 season. That said, the potential first-ever matchup between LSU and Michigan could be enticing for the Outback. But since the Cotton has the first choice of SEC West teams, LSU may not be available if the Cap One picks A&M and the Cotton chooses the Tigers.
Possible opponents: Northwestern (9-3), Michigan (8-4)
Chick-fil-A Bowl
6:30 p.m., Dec. 31, Atlanta (ESPN)
Last appearance for LSU: 2008 game (beat Georgia Tech 38-3)
The Road to Atlanta: Not the trip to Atlanta that LSU fans were craving and, considering the Tigers' ranking, it is in some ways hard to see LSU falling this far. But it is entirely possible and at this point may be the favorite as the Tigers' bowl destination. One scenario: The Capital One picks Georgia, the Cotton Bowl picks Texas A&M and the Outback picks South Carolina.
Possible opponents: Florida State (10-2), Clemson (10-2). If LSU does wind up here, it would get a top-notch ACC opponent. Florida State will be here only if it is an upset loser to 6-6 Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship Game.

Store-owning, piano-playing cop Paul Eng looks back on 25-year sheriff's career in North Bend
North Bend's longest-serving deputy had to make a tough call a few months back, when an old shoulder injury flared up and put him on sick leave. Did he nurse his shoulder back to health and come back for another two years of service in the community he loved and had served for nearly 25 years? Or did he sail off into the sunset of (early) retirement?
He chose the sunset, and for a lot of good reasons: He's planning to follow his own advice of "don't get old!"
Eng's wife retired two years ago and he's jealous that she gets to sleep in every morning; and he's thinking about the future, both for himself, and the King County Sheriff's Office.
"A lot of people are coming on right now, and they really need a place like North Bend to excel," he said during a phone interview last week.
North Bend, he says, is the kind of place where officers can still do "the community policing thing." It's small enough that an officer can walk the beat and meet business owners and residents personally, and "everybody knows everybody, and what's going on," he said. "I like that, that's what police work is all about."
Eng, now 63, found North Bend in 1984, when he was a patrol deputy stationed in the sheriff's department's Kenmore-Woodinville-Bothell precinct. This was his second career in the U.S. — his first was in the hotel industry, where he started after coming to America in 1965. Eng was born in China and raised in Hong Kong.
He decided to transfer to a position in the city in 1988, and has been here ever since.
"I like it so much because it's got the view of Mount Si, it's got the elk, the horses, I just loved it out there," he said.
When he came to North Bend, in what he calls "the olden days," Fritz Ribary was Mayor, and Eng used to set up and watch for speeders at what was then the Tift Haus (now the Pour House).
"My pet peeves were actually speeding and stop sign violations," he said. "I figure if the speed's down, everybody will be safe."
He spent a lot of time doing traffic enforcement, he said, because North Bend didn't have a traffic officer, and "in those days, we were writing tickets by the book."
In those days, they were also in downtown North Bend, in a police station, complete with jail, right next to City Hall. Eng, along with his partner Deputy Simon, also briefly had a business in downtown North Bend, which turned out to be a good place to learn even more about the community. The store sold liquidated merchandise, Eng said, and many community members would tell them about local happenings that might interest law enforcement.
"It was like a second community office there," he said.
That community connection, and face-to-face interactions, have always been essential to Eng, even as technology has changed a lot about police work. Nowadays he doesn't go through books of tickets, because he prints them out on the spot, he says, and computers have improved some aspects of the job, but they can't take the place of talking to people.
"I believe in order for you to gain information, you have to get it from the community businesses and residents," Eng said. "I think that will always be the rule of how to do community police work, regardless of the size of the town."
When he and his partner arrested a man last year who was threatening to blow up a local bank, he says, they "just happened to be in the area, showed up right away, arrested him. He ended up going to court, and the guy was convicted."
Last August, when two teens committed a string of vandalisms and thefts in one night in downtown North Bend, Eng said he and his partner just happened to contact two boys eating lunch at the baseball field the next day. While they were talking, Eng noticed one boy's backpack bulging with something like 50 nail polish bottles, and they knew they had their culprits.
"That's what cracked the case… later on he confessed," Eng said. "If we were not at the top of our game, we would have missed it."
Eng has a few cases he's particularly proud of, involving fraud and drugs, and a few that are just memorable.
"All of the crimes in North Bend are all interesting, all funny," he said. There was the woman they arrested for hitting her husband with a pair of boots, and the occasional naked man report.
One year, he said "about March or so, we had a naked guy running around Riverbend. He'd taken a bunch of drugs or something, and we chased him around, back and forth. Finally we tackled him and put some clothes on him," he said. "Man, I could write a book!"
The book is not in his immediate future plans, but Eng thinks he will do some golfing, some fishing, and maybe take a cruise after retirement. He knows he will miss the work and his colleagues, especially his Chief of Police Mark Toner.
"That guy knows search warrants, he knows everything. I learned a lot from him," Eng said. "When he has something, it's not one of those Chinese chef mentalities — the chef won't teach you how to saute, won't teach you how to marinate meats — this guy here, he'll teach you everything he knows."
One of Toner's first acts when joining the force in 2009 was to help Eng with one technology struggle.
"He helped me fabricate a radar holder for my car, so I could write more tickets for him," Eng said.
That was typical of Toner, Eng said. "He helped us with anything and everything, in any old way… He never yells. He's always good-tempered, and he'll give his shirt for you."
Toner says of Eng, "He has been the epitome of community policing in North Bend. He will be a tough one to replace, but I wish him well in his retirement plans."
Since he's been on sick leave, Eng hasn't been making his usual rounds of the businesses and the Mount Si Senior Center, and his absence has been noticed.
"Where is he?" asks senior center director BJ Libby. "I've missed him!"
Libby said Eng stopped in every week, just to say hi, to talk with the guests, and to check on any issues the center might be having. He's even given Libby suggestions for her office, she said.
"He'd notice that we've done all the improvements outside, and he'll come in and say 'Wow, you guys are really going after this'" she said. He always makes a point of talking to one guest in particular first, every time, she added. "Just a sweet, sweet man."
Eng says his visits there are the kind of police work that he likes, personal communication and immediately addressing the problem. He thinks residents like it, too, but there may be another reason he's so popular at the senior center.
"Sometimes I go in there, and they know that I play piano, and they wanted me to play some piano for them," he says, laughing. "I felt so guilty — a police officer in uniform, playing the piano, trying to entertain people!"
Eng is also popular in the schools, where he often reads to students or does show-and-tell, or, sometimes like last year, he's asked to lock up the principal in a mock jail for the school's walkathon.
They're all things that he'll miss, he says.
"I feel like the North Bend community… is part of my family, and I certainly will miss both the city and the people in it," he said.
Retirement may not mean good-bye, though, since Eng hopes to move to the city some day in the future.
In the meantime, he has a few last words of wisdom.
"I will miss you all. Be safe."

WILTSHIRE FA county secretary Mike Benson has retired after 50 years of loyal service to the game.
During a career which saw him begin as a referee in his 20s Benson went on to be made an honorary member of the FA, an honour enjoyed by an elite few including Sir Tom Finney and Sir Bobby Charlton.
During his career he presided over the County Association's change from being an organisation with honorary officers operating from their own homes, to one with a headquarters and full-time staff.
After moving to Swindon from Bristol in his early 20s to work at Pressed Steel, he began refereeing up to Contributory League level as well as taking on the role of referee appointments secretary with the Wiltshire Football League.
In 1984 he was elected to the Wilts FA and became a very active member of the organisation's council, and in 1986 he became assistant county secretary taking on the responsibility for the administration of the County Cup competitions.
Following the death of Mick Parry in April 1999, Benson stepped up to become county secretary, and he worked tirelessly to ensure thousands of players could enjoy football in the county.
Anyone interested in taking over from Benson should visit www.wiltshirefa.com over the next few days.

As we get older, changes in balance, gait, strength, vision, hearing, and cognition make even the most youthful senior more prone to accidents. Falls can be a health risk for older people. This increased risk of falling is related to:
Depending on the brittleness of your bones, the consequences of a fall can be serious and long lasting.
If you are an older adult, you may be able to prevent some home accidents by making simple lifestyle changes and basic modifications and repairs to the home environment. Here are some lifestyle changes that experts recommend:
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commision's "Older Consumer Home Safety Checklist," it is important to check for potential hazards in each room. And remember, proper lighting is an essential factor in home safety. If you cannot see clearly, you are more likely to fall.
Important questions to ask yourself include:
If you have a chronic condition, you may want to sign up with an automatic call-in service. Typically the system includes a small pendant that connects directly to an emergency medical voice-response system. You should also make arrangements to stay in contact with someone—friend, neighbor, family member—on a regular schedule.
Talk with your doctor or assisted living personnel about items that may help you to be safe as you go about your day. These may include bathing and mobility aids, household security devices, ergonomically designed knives and peelers, and faucet valves and knobs for temperature control. Medical supply stores and organizations are also good sources of information about products that improve your quality of life and ensure your safety.

dunun village
dunun village is this weekend.
DV started around 2000 at a Rainbow Gathering of all places. at this particular Rainbow, a bunch of west african drum/dance students formed their own camp and called it Dunun Village. soon after they started to seek out a piece of land where they could hold a gathering every spring and fall for west african drum/dance students and teachers could come and play, teach and party together.
the gathering has hosted some prominent african artists: bolokada conde, abdoulaye diakite, alysco diabate, tonton sylla, salif kone, fana bangoura, moussa camara etc etc.
dance classes are held in DIY tent on the dirt. drumming can happen anywhere and everywhere and at all times of night.
students come from all over the west coast and have even flown in from the east coast and japan to attend. i've seen gatherings as big as 150 and as small as 50ish.
o yea...and it's pretty much fee. all that's asked is that you donate $$ to the family that owns the land and pack...

Bolokada taught Djaa last night with a little arrangement.
interesting tidbit...Bolo told us that he loves Djaa because it's the rhythm/occasion that made him famous in his region. he is a folkloric specialist for all types occasions: weddings, safinamalos, dembadon, baptisms, circumcision, dennabos, kassa, mendiani, kawa etc...but the Djalaban is where it all started.
he explained there are two basic occasions for djaa: the first being the fete/party for young people and the second being the Djalaban - the last "dance" or "fete" for a young woman about to be wed. Djalaban is the first fete in the wedding sequence. the second is the safinamalo(i also got to play a safina...another blog for another time), third is dembadon, and the fourth is the actual marriage. the woman to be married doesn't even get to dance at her own party. she's not even really present until they process her out and her friends and family (all female) dance and sing around her. at the...

PASADENA - New Year's Day revelers should arrive early, dress for cold weather and in layers, stay hydrated and nourished and report any suspicious activity they may see around the Rose Parade route or at the Rose Bowl Game, officials said Monday.
While there were no specific security threats this year reported against the parade or game as of noon Monday, there will be an increased security presence and any suspicious activity should be reported immediately, police officials said.
Pasadena police work with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to ensure the parade route and Rose Bowl Game are as safe as possible but alert revelers are also an important component, Police Chief Phillip Sanchez said at a Monday morning press conference.
"The hardest person to protect against is the non-state lone wolf actor," Sanchez said. "In that regard, what I'm asking people along the parade route, if you see something, say something. Get ahold of a Pasadena police officer, and let them know what you've seen."
Throwing marshmallows, tortillas and silly string at passing cars - although long-time traditions - are against the law, can result in physical altercations and result in arrests, Sanchez said.
Shooting of firearms at midnight is a felony and perpetrators will be arrested and their cases submitted to the DA's office, he said.
"Arrive early, bring a lot of patience, dress warm, and recognize there will be hundreds of thousands of people, so civility and respectful treatment of one another is really the order of the day," Sanchez said.
About 10 different law enforcement agencies will be working with Pasadena to ensure security, including plainclothes officers and canine units, said Pasadena Deputy Police Chief Darryl Qualls.
There will be a Pasadena police officer teamed up with a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy along every two blocks of the 5.5-mile parade route starting Monday night, he said.
While the parade route is fairly safe, people should be mindful of themselves and their belongings at all times, such as purses, cell phones and Rose Bowl Game tickets, Qualls said.
"When you bring in an amount of people coming for the parade and game, there is always potential for opportunist-type crime," Qualls said.

Harmonised classification and labelling
The classification and labelling of certain hazardous chemicals must be harmonised to ensure adequate risk management throughout the European Union.
Member States, manufacturers, importers and downstream users may propose a harmonised classification and labelling of a substance. Member States can also propose a revision of an existing harmonisation.
Harmonised classifications and labelling are mandatory for the suppliers of respective substances so that users are better informed about their potential hazardous effects and how best to make use of them safely.
Public consultation on harmonised classification and labelling proposals
The harmonised classification and labelling process (CLH) includes a period of public consultation that lasts 45 days.
Anyone can comment on a proposed harmonisation. Those most likely to be interested are companies, organisations representing industry or civil society, as well as individual experts.
Comments are welcomed from the EU or beyond.
RAC opinion
After the consultation period the Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) will prepare a scientific opinion on the proposal taking into account the received comments. RAC will adopt an opinion on any CLH proposal within 18 months of receipt of the proposal.
RAC will examine the available evidence for all hazard classes proposed and may consider another category more appropriate for the classification of the substance after having examined the available information.
The RAC opinion has annexed a background document and a response to comments table based on the comments from the public consultation. When the opinion is adopted, it will be published on ECHA's website together with the background document and the response to comments.
ECHA will forward this opinion and any comments to the Commission. If the Commission finds that the proposed harmonised classification and labelling is appropriate, it will submit a draft decision concerning the inclusion of that substance in Part 3 of Annex VI to CLP.
After its inclusion, all manufacturers, importers and users of the substance in the EU should classify the substance accordingly, enabling the users to be better informed about the substance, its potential effects and how best to make use of it safely.
Public consultation on requests in accordance with Article 77(3)(c) of REACH
ECHA Executive Director may request RAC to draw up an opinion on any other aspects concerning the safety of substances on their own, in mixtures or in articles according to article 77(3) of REACH. This way, RAC may be given a mandate to address one or more specific issues related to classification and labelling. A public consultation may be held to help RAC in adopting its opinion.
Only the topics defined in the mandate are addressed and comments may only be requested on the defined endpoint or question for which the mandate has been given. RAC will limit its assessment to that specific endpoint or question.

Sitting with his canine pals Stella and Athena, former Lakers star Metta World Peace looms over Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles in a new People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals billboard that says, "Report Animal Abuse -- Guard the Home Team," atop PETA's Bob Barker Building.
The ad was shot by celebrity photographer Robert Sebree.
PETA's new campaign, which comes as summer temperatures are skyrocketing, includes an appeal from Metta for everyone to recognize that leaving dogs in hot cars -- even in the shade with the windows open a crack -- is abuse.
"It's a basic love that animals bring to your household," he says in an exclusive video for PETA. "It's something that only animals can do."
Metta, waved by the Lakers earlier this month, quickly signed a two-year contract with the New York Knicks. He previously appeared in a PETA campaign that urged families always to spay and neuter their dogs and cats.
Here is MWP's billboard and a print ad in the campaign:

Forever Young
Milton Berle was television's first superstar and remains one of America's top comedians.
(continued from page 7)
"I was a kid actor of 13 when I tasted my first Havana cigar," Berle recalled recently. He was holed up in his spartan office on Santa Monica Boulevard, just down the street from the Beverly Hills chapter of the renowned Friars Club, where he holds the lofty title of abbot emeritus. "I remember it well. The year was 1921. I was a kid actor. I sang...danced...told jokes. And I was handled by a man who used to book cruises with entertainment. Well, he booked me on a cruise to Havana in 1921. My mother, Sarah, also came along and brought my baby sister, Rosalind. Mama went everywhere with me; managed me. She was your basic stage mother, kind of on the order of your grandmother Minnie [the mother of the Marx brothers]."
When Berle got off the ship in Havana, he found himself in the midst of a bunch of Cuban children hawking cigars. Cuban cigars, of course.
"Cigarro...cigarro...try...try!" they shouted.
"OK, give me one," said the young Berle.
"No give...buy!"
It ended up costing Berle 12 cents.
"I'd never smoked before in my life, not even a cigarette," Berle continued. "But I took it, put it in my mouth and lit it. What the hell did I know? But it tasted good, so I kept puffing on it, and I guess I inhaled a lot of the smoke. I didn't know you weren't supposed to inhale a cigar. Pretty soon I got sick to my stomach and started to throw up. Then my mother noticed what I was up to and didn't approve. So she came over to me and slapped me on my neck hard. She wouldn't slap me on the face because if I was going to be an actor I needed my face. That was Mama. Always thinking about what was best for my career."
Slap or no slap, he was hooked on cigars for the rest of his life. Besides enjoying the taste, Berle wanted to be like the important comedians he'd seen on the stage in vaudeville. Groucho Marx. Ken Murray. Ted Healey. George Jessel. Lou Holtz. They all worked with cigars onstage.
"Back in the States I started smoking Rey del Reys...Perlas. They cost me 20 cents apiece. I used to buy them at United Cigar Stores. I also bought cigars from a place on 48th and Broadway called the I & Y Cigar Store. The 'I' stood for 'I make 'em' and the 'Y' for 'You smoke 'em.' "
Unlike other performers of that time who smoked in their act, Berle never smoked a cigar on the stage. And he still doesn't, unless the part calls for it.
According to Berle, it took a lot of guts for him at age 13 to stand up to Mama on the cigar-smoking issue. Mama, whose name was Sarah Berlinger, had assumed the guidance of her son's acting career after he had won a tin cup in a Charlie Chaplin contest in Mount Vernon, New York, at age five. From that day on, she was determined to steer him to the top.
It was either that or starve to death.
Moses Berlinger, Sarah's husband and Milton's father, was a nice guy, but totally incapable of supporting a family of seven. In addition to Milton, who was born in 1908, Moses had sired Phil in 1901, Francis in 1904, Jack in 1905 and Rosalind in 1913.
Moses, the son of a German immigrant, was a dreamer, a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. He tried to earn a living doing everything from house painting to selling paint to being a door-to-door salesman to "inventing" chocolate-covered cherries--which had already been invented. But nothing he tried ever worked out.
"We lived in the Bronx and on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in an assortment of crummy flats and brownstones, but there was never enough money to pay the rent," remembered Berle. "We were always having to sneak our furniture and belongings out in the middle of the night and move to a new place. It wasn't until I was fairly grown that I learned that moving could be done in the daytime. I thought it was like sleeping--something you had to do at night."
So after Milton won the Chaplin contest, Mama Berle decided that the only way to achieve wealth, security and happiness was to make her youngest son into a star, either in vaudeville or films. She had wanted to be a performer herself, but her family wouldn't hear of it. "So after she married my father and had a lot of kids, she was determined to become a performer through me," claimed Berle. "Why me and not my older brothers? I guess because she thought I was the cutest."
Although by 1913 the film business was already starting to move west to Hollywood, where the weather was more conducive to outdoor shooting, there were still plenty of picture companies making their headquarters in New York and New Jersey. Famous Players-Lasky was on 56th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues; Keystone, Vitagraph, Essanay and Fox were working out of shacks and cow barns in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Astoria; and Pathé, which produced the highly successful weekly serial, "The Perils of Pauline," starring Pearl White, was located in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
For some reason, Mama decided that Fort Lee was the place to start her son's picture career.
"Where Mama got her information from--she certainly didn't read Variety in those days--I don't know," said Berle. "But when she heard that Pathé was looking for a boy my age to be in a serial with Pearl White, she played sick from the department store where she was working to keep bread on the table and schlepped me over to Jersey on the Fort Lee ferry at the crack of dawn. Because we were the first ones there, I got the job. I played a little boy who gets thrown from a moving train and is rescued by Pearl White. When the director told me that was my part, I was scared stiff. I thought they really were going to throw me off a moving train. But when the moment of truth came, they threw a bundle of rags off the train instead of me."
After his debut in "The Perils of Pauline," Berle played kid parts in a number of other silent films in which the big names of the day starred--Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Corinne Griffith, Marie Dressler, Mabel Normand and even Charlie Chaplin. "If you can find prints of any of those films today," grinned Berle, "look for a kid with Bugs Bunny teeth--that was me then, and, now that I think of it, that's me now."
Some of those films took Mama Berle and Milton all the way to Hollywood, where the budding comedian got his first glimpse of orange trees and coconut palms. However, after Berle outgrew little kid parts--and the First World War created a shortage of film--movie work on the Coast grew scarce. So it was back to New York to make the rounds of casting agencies again and pick up split-week engagements in small-time vaudeville houses and nightclubs with a female dancing partner he had linked up with at a dancing school in Harlem his mother had sent him to. Their act earned between $3 and $5 a performance, which wasn't much--but then bread wasn't $2 a loaf in 1917, either.
Berle remembered that for a period in his life Mama could afford to serve only rice to the family for dinner. "We ate so much rice I got up in the morning and did my own laundry," he added jokingly.
Berle's career began its slow but steady climb upward after Mama took him to a music publisher's office in Tin Pan Alley one day and had him put on an impromptu singing performance for the agents and song pluggers who were sitting around puffing cigars. A man named Schoenstein heard Milton and hired him to sing at the Mt. Morris Theater on 116th Street and Fifth Avenue in Harlem the following Thursday night.
Thursday at Mt. Morris was "songwriters' night," when composers of pop tunes were encouraged to get up and plug their newest "standards."
Because Berle was under 16, the rules of the Gerry Society prevented him from performing onstage at night. The organization had been founded to curb the exploitation of child actors by greedy parents. But Schoenstein got around this obstacle by having the young Berle sing while standing in a box at the side of the stage.
The songwriter that evening turned out to be Irving Berlin, who was there to introduce his latest song, "Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning," which was the big number from his army show, Yip, Yip, Yaphank. Berle sang it while wearing a Boy Scout uniform. This performance was heard by a small-time producer named E. W. Wolf, who packaged kid acts to work around the Philadelphia area. Wolf made Berle an offer that Mama couldn't refuse, even though it meant moving to the City of Brotherly Love.
Kid acts were all the rage in those days because children worked cheap. A fellow named Gus Edwards was making a fortune producing fare like "School Boys and Girls" and "Kid Kabaret." Such vehicles gave a start to Eddie Cantor, Walter Winchell, Lila Lee and Georgie Price.
"I clicked in most of the junk Wolf put me in, which led to my being seen by J. J. Shubert," continued Berle. "He hired me to come to New York and appear in an updated version of the 'Florodora Sextette,' which had originally been produced in 1900. Now, this was 1920, but audiences still appreciated looking at sexy girls. Grown-up girls, of course. But I was hired along with five other boys my age to do a number with six girls our age--a parody of the grown-up Florodora girls. We were billed as the 'Florodora Sextette of 1940.' "
The Florodora show tried out in Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore before it opened at the Century Theatre in New York City to smash reviews. The baby sextette was singled out for special mention by the critics--as were Milton and his girl partner.
"Mind you, all this happened before I smoked my first cigar," insisted Berle.
The show also coincided with his first sexual experience.
Berle had not quite reached bar mitzvah age when he lost his virginity to one of the grown-up Florodoras. It happened one Saturday after the matinee. The baby sextette was relegated to a dressing room on the top floor of the theater. The women had dressing rooms on the floor below.
While Mama waited for him by the stage door, Berle finished dressing and descended the stairs to the second floor, where the door to the women's dressing room was open. Noticing a half-naked Florodora beauty alone in front of her dressing table, Berle stopped and stole a peek. Noticing the 12-year-old voyeur, who was quite tall and handsome for his age, admiring her, the woman invited him in. But instead of reprimanding him, she was amused and put her hand inside his trousers.
"Why, you're quite a man," she complimented him.
Berle wasn't sure what she meant. "I think the whole thing took two seconds," he recalled, with a laugh. "One second her hand was undoing my fly and, the next thing I knew, I was inside her. It was over very quickly."

The automatic over the air update comes out in waves over a several week period. You can force it to install wirelessly right away by going into "settings", "device information", tapping on "Software version" then tapping on "Check for updates".
2. Re: 2.1 updateejohnson53 May 3, 2013 9:06 PM (in response to laurieb52)
Any way to roll back this update? It replaced a very good browser with Chrome, a browser that 1) lost my bookmarks, 2) won't run Flash (ruining my home nanny cam system) and 3) forces webpages to default to mobile versions.
3. Re: 2.1 update5ivedom May 4, 2013 1:57 PM (in response to ejohnson53)
ejohnson, there should be a setting in Chrome Settings to force Desktop versions of apps to load. Just check Settings.
4. Re: 2.1 updatedmoisan May 4, 2013 3:50 PM (in response to ejohnson53)
How about Dolphin? The updated version on Google Play has a Flash plugin.
5. Re: 2.1 updatecompulsivereaderTX May 4, 2013 7:02 PM (in response to dmoisan)
I used Dolphin before as I liked it better. It does have a lot of add ons in the google play store, I installed several, now to play and see just how much functionality they add. I'd personally give that a shot before considering going back to a previous update. There were just as many complaints about it then as now, but we do have more options now to fix a lot of those problems. I'm personally pretty happy with it.
6. Re: 2.1 updateLelak38 May 4, 2013 7:30 PM (in response to laurieb52)
Anyone else experiencing debilitating slowness and choppiness since the 2.1 upgrade?
7. Re: 2.1 updatecompulsivereaderTX May 4, 2013 7:34 PM (in response to Lelak38)
only using chrome. gave up on it and went back to dolphin. Otherwise, seems okay.
8. Re: 2.1 updatekayKH May 5, 2013 7:30 AM (in response to ejohnson53)I lost some of my games when it automatically loaded junk I don't want or need on my Nook. If I wanted/needed it I would download it myself! Last time I "updated" I had all kinds of issues also and then my Nook suddenly started to just shut off in the middle of an app! I should have just spent the extra money and gotten an iPad!!! Nobody that I know with those has these insane issues! I will not be recommending Nook to anyone from this day on!
9. Re: 2.1 updatepatgolfneb May 5, 2013 8:43 AM (in response to kayKH)
I pads have fewer issues, but every generation has had issues. Battery life, compatability, changes in ports. I also think it's unfair to complain that a device that is 1/2 the price isn't equal. Do you expect a 40,000 dollar car and a 20,000 car to have the exact same features and perform the same? How about a 500.00 dollar TV or stereo and a 250.00 dollar stereo or TV? Your Your post is typical of first time drive by posters. Many on the forum forum will try to assist you. Joining just to post a whine is childish. If you wish for BN to know how you feel send an email to customer service.
10. Re: 2.1 update5ivedom May 5, 2013 4:38 PM (in response to patgolfneb)
Not experienced any slowness. Don't like Chrome but that's a separate matter.
I don't understand people who keep comparing Nook to iPad. It's half the price.
In fact now you can get Nook HD on sale for $149 and Nook HD+ for $179. So it's less than half the price of comparable iPad Mini and iPad.
You can't expect it to be just as good.
11. Re: 2.1 updateRobertCNJ May 6, 2013 7:31 AM (in response to 5ivedom)
I cannot get Dolphin browser to play Amazon instant videos. It might be a compatability issue with plug in for Flash. It just hangs trying to connect and there is constant buffering.
Not so with Puffin browser, works fine so far.
I would not say my Nook HD+ is speedy but there is just a little lag which is tolerable. It may depend on what one is trying to do.
The Nooks at this price? Name me a better deal on a current tablet on the marketplace.
12. Re: 2.1 updatelaurieb52 May 6, 2013 2:50 PM (in response to RobertCNJ)
I also had to download the Puffin (paid version) browser to access my Amazon videos. Neither Firefo, Chrome nor Dolphin worked.
Someone else asked about being able to import your prior nook bookmarks into the other browsers. In Puffin, they are already there under the folder "other bookmarks".
13. Re: 2.1 updateCyberKat May 7, 2013 6:09 AM (in response to SMG51)
Add me to the list of people who are not happy at being turned over to Big Brother Google! First I had to disable gmail on my Nook HD a couple of weeks ago because it wanted permission to wipe out all my data with a factory reset when it felt like it. I don't think so. Now, last night, I ge the 2.1 update and my Nook is full of Google crap that apparantly I can't get rid of.
I basically only use the browser for Facebook and Twitter and occasionally looking something up. The old browser would allow me to use the full regular Facebook - which I prefer to the app. The Facebook app works great on my iPod but it's dreadful on the Nook. If someone posts an image the app doesn't shrink the image to fit. My whole screen is filled with the image and scrolling is impossible.
Plus everytime I try to do something, I have Google in my face with - sign in - sign up - tell us where you are! - link all your things together. They want everything linked together so they can track you and sell your information to advertisers. No thank you! They tried that with Google+ and YouTube - all of which I had separate logins. Somehow they found them and linked them all together.
Now I use Chrome only for gmail and if I'm doing any other Google related tasks - like YouTube or search, I do it in Firefox without logging in.
I want to use another browser - anything but Chrome or IE. Maxthon would be fine or Firefox or even Dolphin (which I'm assuming is the original browser). Trouble is when I try to get those, I now have to go through Google Play which wants my information. The Maxthon browser was available through B&N before, but now I can't find it in the app shop Not a happy camper.
14. Re: 2.1 updatecompulsivereaderTX May 7, 2013 6:24 AM (in response to CyberKat)
Dolphin is available in the Nook store. You have to go to Google Play for the add ons though.

The U.S. government is keeping a close eye on the telecom industry amid controversy about government-monitored communications.
For more than a decade, the merger approval process has served as a way for the government to boost its oversight over telecom companies. The key: increasingly restrictive security agreements between telecom companies and national security agencies that are worked into deals. The agreements are designed to stave off network breaches and allow the government to monitor communications and access companies' systems upon request.
Three of the top four U.S. wireless carriers—Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and Vodafone—and three major equipment suppliers operate under such agreements.
Experts say the security agreements' scopes are expanding. "Each agreement seems to become more restrictive as the government recognizes the benefits of access to networks and databases and as threats to national security increase," Warren Lavey, a former Skadden partner who worked on telecom mergers, told the Wall Street Journal.
