Nicki Minaj and Adam Levine are judges on competing talent shows, but they're about to team up in another arena -- they're both about to sign contracts to create a pair of fashion lines for a single retailer.
According to the New York Post, the deal to create matching lines of clothing, housewares and accessories could be all wrapped up this week. It'd be similar to the deal Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony inked with Kohl's a few years ago, but the winner in this derby will likely be K-Mart, Wal-Mart or Target.

The PDB has a bendable cable tray that protrudes above the head. I don't know if it exceeds 84" in most-squashed-mode, but its possible.
Couple questions:
1. The 1100 spec sheet shows height of 81 3/4" (770 73") with stand I only have 84" to the ceiling. So looks like it will fit but would I need extra room for cover removal or maintenance?
2 Does the power drawbar add extra height to the unit(s), if so how much? This will be on my "must have" list.
So basically would I be able to use and or repair unit with only 2 1/4" clearance on the 1100?
The PDB has a bendable cable tray that protrudes above the head. I don't know if it exceeds 84" in most-squashed-mode, but its possible.
Here's a thread where I asked a similar question. Don Clement's answer and the associated image will tell you everything you need to know.

Vertical Lathe tool holders and more.
Thanks guys.
Still need to know if PDB extends above original measurement. I do have the ability to position mill between the concrete I beams (guessing 20" between) and that would gain me another 7".
While I'm asking...what are your thoughts on the stand? $1650 seems like alot for a stand and would still need to be enclosed.
Although I may need to build my own stand anyway for clearance.
I'm still planing the Ann Arbor show to see it in person.
I think you're right. Watched bunch of videos today and stand looks really nice.
Plus I'm in the middle of a conversion now,YES it's fun but I'm really ready to just make some parts plus conversions are tough to do when machine(s) are apart. I'm done with the $1500 hobby machines using $10 end mills it's time to jump in with the big boys.
I believe the Tormach will last me a lifetime and be a good investment. (wife doesn't think so)
Man this CNC hobby just grabs your soul and sucks you in.
3 yrs ago I would have told you $20,000 machine is just for professionals. But all I knew then was manual and when I worked as machinists (way back when) CNC was a myth we heard about at NASA!
I know some of you remember those days if your shop had 3 Bridgeports and couple Warner & Swasey turret lathes you were king of the hill.
NO conversion this time around.
What Steve S. said: Just do it.
I built a stand from Tormach's instructions. Spent days on it, significant bucks, trying to be frugal. Dumb decision. Lasted a couple months. Never did get rid of the leaks. Got the deluxe stand. Worth every penny.
BTW- an enclosure, using 8020 rails and surplus lexan, will add about three hundred bucks if you shop around. Also worth it.

Is Email Archiving Better In The Cloud?
One question we frequently hear from you is: Is email archiving better in the cloud? For most, the answer is yes. From answering subpoenas for email records to providing proof of business transactions, storing and retrieving email is a necessary part of modern business. As reliance on email as a long-term record keeping and daily communication tool grows, IT teams are scrambling to keep up with the hardware and management tools needed to deal with the influx of data.
Hosted email
hosted email archiving
solutions help reduce the load on strapped teams by offloading capacity and basic maintenance requirements to a trusted service provider. Though businesses reap many benefits from this combination, many are still reluctant to switch over. Top reasons cited for apprehension include:

Has Rogue IT Infiltrated Your Organization?
Rogue IT occurs when teams outside of IT venture out on their own to pursue IT-based solutions. For example, the accounting team needs updated billing software and instead of approaching IT with their needs, they find an easy-to-launch, SaaS-based solution. Everything works well until IT is approached to pull quarterly billing data that is now housed in an unsupported system and isn't readily available or is improperly formatted.

What's Your Ecommerce Strategy?
When was the last time you reviewed your ecommerce strategy? Do you have an ecommerce strategy in writing to review? If your answer was no to one or both questions, you're not alone. Many ecommerce merchants admit to not having a fully fleshed out ecommerce strategy. Without a plan of attack in place, a business is left reacting to business or technology challenges around their ecommerce operation instead of having a solid plan in place to scale and grow business.

NEW DELHI: Arms dealer Suresh Nanda, his son Sanjeev, accused in the BMW hit and run case alongwith two others were denied bail by a Delhi court as it accepted the Central Bureau of Investigation's plea that the accused persons could hamper the on-going probe if released on Saturday.
The four are being investigated for manipulating evidence on alleged kickbacks received in defence deals. Special CBI Judge I K Kochar, dismissed the bail applications saying the probe in the case was at a "nascent stage" and their release on bail may affect the investigation adversely.

Some Singaporean-Malaysian dishes are great - char Kway tow but others are not (like hokkien me). Clientele is a curious mix - lots of young students from Asia but also business groups and families.
Tropika at the Aberdeen Centre was the go to place every time we visited Richmond — their Malaysian Crab and roti were so good, just the thought of them would make us want to return. Without really noticing, two years have gone by since we have been able to return and although the plan was to visit what has become... More
I was hesitant to go to Tropika for lunch after a lengthy dinner wait with a large party a few years back. However, the food was served promptly, was fresh, tasty and affordable. I will definitely go back the next time I am in the Aberdeen Mall vicinity of Richmond.
I went there for an afternoon snacks on Oct. 20 with a friend. Enjoyed the snack food that we ordered and asked the remaining fried soft tofu to be packed. So I left a a $7 tip when our bill was just $35. We asked for some sweet soy sauce for it. But when we got home it was just... More
Tropika, ever since its move into Aberdeen Centre, has become a place that I would not volunteer to go due to its rude and inefficient service. However, some friends continue to like this place, so I continue to go from time to time. Each time I visit, things appear to have gone just a tad worse. Some reviewers have talked... More
This place was decent before but has gone down each successive year for quality.

Coming here gives the idea... More
Sat down ordered and after 20 mins the 4 tables around us filled they ordered and food delivered before we had received our order. We finally complained and 2 minutes later our food arrived.

Eight of us chose to eat at Tropika in the Aberdeen Centre. The staff were very accommodating, as we did not have a reservation. We ordered various prawn dishes (incl. hot pot) and they were all very good. Make sure that you can stand spicy food when you order one of their "hot" or red pepper dishes! Very enjoyable atmosphere,... More
Ordered the Chicken Satay & Roti Canai for appertisers. Both were authentic tasting tho portions were small for the price. The Rendang Beef was not as expected as it was more a saucy curry than the authentic Malaysian dry curry with coconut (kerisik) but taste wise was pretty good. The Shrimp paste stir fry Kang Kong was good & plentiful.... More
We made reservations for our family group of 10 for a special family reunion. We all live in Victoria and come to Richmond fairly frequently for the food as most of the family is from Singapore.

Featured review from D. Ch'an-Moriwaki

What Spoke Loudest Was The Quietude
It wasn't only the glowing advance notices piquing curiosity that led me to pianist Daniel Pollack's recital. Appeal was also grounded in a good program with tempting popular draw, Liszt and Chopin for fans of 19th-century Romanticism, Scriabin and Debussy for Modernism's lovers. The program even offered Bach, for the 'earlier-music' types. Although it regularly showcases the new talents from the San Francisco Opera Center Adler Fellowship, Temple Emanu-El as a music venue was, for me, a new experience which had demanded casing out. And I found that its Martin Meyer Sanctuary is a hall with a very good acoustic, a quite decent concert Steinway, and very comfortable, body-supporting pew seating that's easy to sit into and get up from.
A series now in its ninth season at this beautiful landmark, Music At Meyer, as I learned from looking over its offerings from past seasons, is a chamber concert-series that presents important performers from across all genres, and the evening's Daniel Pollack recital was the season opener. A warm, casually gracious host welcomed me with an easy grace. Said his name was Mike Tekulsky. Turned out he produces this concert series, Tekulsky Productions. How wonderful is that? Well, here is an artistically excellent, worthy complement to the multi-genre Old First, JCC, and YBCA. Music At Meyer is an ascendant hot spot for the performing arts ... and it's just close enough to be this side of the avenues and the Richmond's fog belt. Not much going on directly near, but lively Clement Street and Geary Boulevard are only a couple of blocks nearby.
Mr. Pollack launched into his program with the Bach-Siloti Organ Prelude in G minor. When I was a young music student, Alexander Siloti was among the fabled names of the music world, and among pianists, was known for his Bach transcriptions. Despite Siloti's Bach transcriptions being works of the Romantic period, I was compelled to adjust my sensibilities to a higher threshold for accommodating Mr. Pollack's luxuriantly well-upholstered prelude section. For with the very first notes in the very first bar, his pianism clearly came through, a personal style of high-decibel, percussive power and lush damper-pedal sound. But then, I thought: Well, it was originally for organ, and maybe that's what Siloti's transcription was emulating, so Pollack plays it that way, like a big, whomping organ . . . ... . Relieved that the fugal section was adequately and appropriately dryer, it turned out to be a delightful display of broad and sharp contrasts in dynamics, voice, and color, handled by deft variations in Pollack's touch.
Next up, the Chopin Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Opus 58, was a difficult traversal in several respects. Firstly, in large forms and compositional formalisms, Frédéric Chopin was not the adept he was with the smaller, free-form works that are his quintessential hallmark. That said, the evening's anchor piece sprawled from insufficient architectural definition, primarily due to the lack of shaping which comes with subtleties of line, arching, phrasing, inflection, and pedaling with restraint. Mr. Pollack's deep pedaling and the sheer volume level and flat dynamic range resulted in thick textures that considerably muddled much of the music, robbing it of clarity. It was a torrential, solid wall of sound. Frequent lifting of the foot could have gone such a long way in clarifying the dense textures, turgid sonorities, and general heaviness, especially in the deep bass register. It was in the quiet sections that Pollack shone as a pianist. Here, one actually hears the musicality and artistry his PR notices declare. Notwithstanding all that detracts, however, the Finale of the B minor Sonata, being a familiar, often stand-alone piece, was gratifying to hear in the total context of the complete work. Just that alone made this unfortunately clangorous Chopin worth the labored listen.
With great relief, then, Mr. Pollack finished off the first half of the program with one of the Liszt Consolations (the D-flat Major), and a Hungarian Rhapsody (No. 6). The Consolation was simply lovely, and not least because it was gratefully quiet after all the pounding in the Chopin. Playing the Consolation in D-flat with curvilinear phrasing and arching linear dynamics showed Pollack as a pianist with a sensitive musicality and musical intelligence --- especially expressed to advantage in the Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody, making sensible and coherent this wild work of vivid contrasts. More Liszt followed intermission, Funerailles from the 10 Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses (No. 7), composed in the period when Franz Liszt turned inward and his 'avant' artistic vision became inspired, here and there particularly expressed in his subtle harmonics and the deeper meaning within his works. Ever crescendo'ing its sonorities, this piece could be difficult to gauge dynamically, the Martin Meyer Sanctuary being a bit on the live side acoustically. Clangor and heavy pedaling detracted from the emotional sensitivity and diminished the inner passion Liszt wrote into the cycle.
In the second half of the concert, with the anchor work of the Chopin Sonata having failed its mark, the real jewels of the evening turned out to be the Debussy Reflets dans l'eau (the first movement of Book 1 of Images), and Feux d'artifice from Book 2 of the Preludes. Reflets dans l'eau shimmered cooly with transcendent liquid light, a delicate flowing and refinement that gave us the supple rubato and cantabile phrasing that was so entirely missing in the Chopin. Feux d'artifice fiercely sparked and blazed in leaping spikes and shafts of heat and flame. In these Debussy pieces, pianistic artistry in the shading and layering of dynamics and voices, requiring exquisitely fine judgment and finesse of touch, were at last allowed full execution and expression. Listening to Mr. Pollack's Debussy was a revelation which, despite his pedal's diminishing of the pieces' ideal transparency and clarity, nonetheless uplifted the evening's trajectory.
Interestingly, it was the French idiom of Claude Debussy and the Russian pianism in Alexander Scriabin that seemed to really be Mr. Pollack's strong suit of the evening, not Chopin and Liszt, the arch-Romantics. Scriabin's Nocturne for the Left Hand Alone, (No. 2 from Opus 9), and the D# minor Etude No. 12, Opus 8 (a puppy-love favorite from my early days) concluded the program. These are pieces from Scriabin's earlier, more strongly Romantic period. Once again, the absence of cantabile line in voicing and phrasing diminished the limpid possibility of the Nocturne, while the sonorities in the dense-textured Etude lacked resonance and dimension.
When the keys are held down into the keybed after the notes are struck (the notion that doing this sustains the sound), the piano's hammers cannot freely bounce completely down, away from the strings. The suspended hammers, still very close to the strings, are thus an impedance within the wave field of the vibrating strings, and the resulting interference pattern in their frequencies disallows roundly resonant sonorities, obstructs the free flow of sound waves, and results in harsh, clangy tones and flat colors.
Conversely, lifting off or bouncing up from the keys after striking the notes allows the hammers to bounce back down fully. Since the piano's keys now are not being held down, use of the damper pedal is appropriate here, to sustain the sound. And throwing all one's weight into fortissimo, which coincides with holding down the keys, uses up a lot of valuable energy and stamina needlessly. The fast downward speed of the hands and fingers into the keys is what creates fortissimo, and immediately bouncing off the keys, like a coiled spring, allows the full reverberation of the strings because the hammers are allowed to fully bounce away and clear the wave field.
Similar concept with pedaling. These physics of the instrument and physics of the human body combine to create sublime sonority, with little effort for optimal effects. And the physics has everything to do with the way a pianist sounds. But maybe such knowledge is only crucial for 100-pound weaklings who must tame and master those monster 9-foot concert grands . . . ... .
The evening finished off with an encore, Mr. Pollack enchanting us all with the gorgeous, posthumous Chopin Nocturne in C# minor, alternately known as the "Lento con gran espressione." This is the beautiful and wistful Chopin nocturne that contains a reminiscence of his F minor Concerto (the second of the two). Again, a quiet piece, where, again, Mr. Pollack's true musicality shone forth in the loveliest of Chopin's Nocturnes, to conclude what was a very touching evening . . .
. . . for in the audience were many of the faces of Central and Eastern Europe and Russia, elder persons who suffered much, yet were sustained by music, and the art of music. Many were bent, some were frail, but all were aglow with happiness for the privilege of sharing and enjoying the treasure of live performance by major artists. Several bore bouquets to the stage for Mr. Pollack, careful of step and gingerly of stride. There were also many young people in the audience, thirtysomethings on down. Several of the very young among them were music students from the Conservatory. I left Temple Emanu-El and headed for the bus stop a block away, musing on how I was one of only two persons waiting there for MUNI. But wait! All of five minutes and one block later, the rest of these kindly and gentle souls, who understood the deep meaning of gratitude, and who didn't have cars, had caught up to the bus stop with me. And in a mere two minutes more, along came the bus. Happy that it was such a quick wait, everyone with cheerful difficulty pulled themselves up the steep bus steps . . . ... .. :::

We went for an appointment yesterday, and they told us that the baby looks great and is doing everything he is supposed to be doing except coming out! The ultrasound technician said he looks way too snugly and comfortable in there. :) They will let me go up to 42 weeks, and we feel so blessed to have midwives who are helping us to avoid an induction for as long as possible.
In the meantime, we are continuing to wait. It's fitting that this period of waiting falls during the time of Advent. I constantly hear this verse resound in my head:
"Be still and know that I am God."
And that is exactly what I am trying to do with these days. Simply being rather than doing. I know this is a really unique time in life, and I will probably not have a period of waiting for a baby in just this way again. Now that I'm finished with fieldwork, my days are filled with time to just be still. If God does bless us with more children in the future, I'll most likely be working up until the day those babies are born, and we'll also be busy taking care of the other kids. I'm savoring this sweet time to just be with God.
Usually my Advent season begins with exams, and then there's the quick hustle and bustle to get ready for Christmas in the two weeks that follow. This is the first year we got all of our Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving, and we got our tree the day after Thanksgiving since there was a chance the baby would arrive early. With all of that done, there's even more time to spend waiting and enjoying the peace, and it's made for a relaxing, simple Advent.
I'm taking advantage of this time to prepare my heart for Christmas and for our baby's arrival. I've been blessed to have the time to go to morning masses and to finally start reading several books I've been wanting to read for a while (Mere Christianity, Man's Search for Meaning, The Lamb's Supper, and The Screwtape Letters). I've had time to bake, cook, and sew to my heart's content. I am so thankful for my relaxing days at home and my evenings with my husband. We've had multiple "false alarms" that got us overly excited thinking the baby was coming, but we're still here waiting. We have been continuing to fill our time together with walks, board games, drinking homemade hot chocolate and chatting on the couch, and doing our Advent reflections together. I feel so thankful for a such a good and faithful man who will be such a wonderful dad to our baby.
Even though I can't help but want this baby to come sooner rather than later (especially upon finding out he's about 8lbs 7 oz!!), I feel content and will savor this period of waiting. I know God's timing is perfect and the baby will arrive when he's ready. We will continue to enjoy this peaceful time, filled with gratitude for the time to relax and rejuvenate before the upcoming days ahead of taking care of a newborn.

Beyond Empty Nest……
Last week a repairman came to my house. He went into my son's room to measure windows. I explained to him that my son had come home to Belmont Shore for a month and moved his whole apartment into his small room. He smiled and said, "how old is your baby?" I answered, "He's 23." … Continue reading

ARTirondack thanks
To the Editor:
The Mahoosuc Arts Council would like to express heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all those who supported the 7th Annual ARTirondack Auction which took place on July 17 during Mollyockett Days.
ARTirondack Auction is the most significant annual fundraising event for the Mahoosuc Art Council. And, it has also become a favorite and anticipated part of local culture. The energy and enthusiasm surrounding this year's effort was tremendous and is clear evidence of the importance this event holds in the heart of this generous community.
This year 17 handcrafted chairs were painted by western Maine artists in original designs that spanned pirate ships, the Wizard of Oz and Captain America, to lovely seascapes, swimming trout, flowers, forest scenes and almost everything in between.
Many thanks to Reggie Brown for crafting the chairs (and letting us take one after another as the artists roster grew!). Special thanks to the local artists who created these one-of-a-kind treasures: Louisa Abarno, Jewel Clark, Suzanne Hardy, Heather Hastings, Lauren Head, Troy Jordan, Donnie Katlin, Karen Campbell, Sarah Lane, Sarah Shepley, Conni St. Pierre, Laura Worrick, Scott Lane, Cailin Kavanagh, Abby Blackburn and Mahoosuc Kids Association.
Many thanks to our chair sponsors: Reggie Brown, Brooks Brothers Hardware, Susan Duplessis, Northeast Bank, Sudbury Inn, D.A.Wilson, Doug Zinchuck Roofing, Viewers Choice Video, Homeslice Pizza, Rooster's Roadhouse, Isabella's Stickey Buns, Sunday River Real Estate, Pok Sun Emporium, Books N Things, Mahoosuc Kids Association and Dream Realty. And thanks to those businesses which served as viewing locations for the chairs: Bethel Animal Clinic, Sunday River Golf Club, United States Postal Service.
Many thanks to the hard-working Council members who rise to the call when help is needed: Tera Ingraham, Helen Davies, Janet Aug, Troy Jordan, Suzanne Newsom-Pierce, Jenny Cooper, Lauren Head, Ashley Oliver, Michele Peredja, Melanie Ellsworth, Michelle McLean. A big round of thanks to the Council volunteers Doug, Steve Aug, Chris Davis and Derrick Martel.
Thanks to the Bethel Inn and Mary Brown for arranging and hosting the auction preview July 16. A big thanks to Auctioneer Extraordinaire Joe Gaidis for working his magic with the bidders. Thanks to all those who bought raffle tickets. And finally, a huge thanks to the generous bidders who bought these functional works of art.
All of you did much more than just paint a chair, sponsor a chair, host a chair or buy a chair! You all ensured that the Council will continue to provide outstanding visual and performing arts programming to the K-12 students of SAD 44 and Gould Academy as well as the adult communities of the Greater Bethel Area for the 2010-2011 season.
Aranka Matolcsy
Executive Director, Mahoosuc Arts Council

Building Your First Model Rocket
Building your first model rocket is an exciting and fun experience. This portion of The Guide is designed to "guide" you through the building process. You may not need to visit all the sections of this tutorial, only the ones you are having trouble with. The process depicted is similar for all rockets.
It is preferable for people of all ages to have supervision when using hobby knives, but it is highly recommended that anyone under the age of 12 be supervised.
When using any type of glue, be very careful not to get any in your eyes or mouth. It is important to wash your hands after every use. Most glues will have warnings labels and directions about what to do in case of an accident.
Although not covered in this tutorial, many rocketeers chose to paint their model rockets after building them. Make sure to use proper ventilation and eye protection when using paints of any kind.

Nicaragua's Catholic bishops issued a pastoral letter calling on local politicians to fight corruption caused by an inordinate desire for power, and to instead work to help democracy flourish.
The bishops warned that political life in the country today is dominated by an autocratic and abusive style of exercising authority, seen in the concentration of power and the excessive desire to hold on to it and remain in it.
The document was released by the secretary general of the conference, Bishop Silvio Baez, at the conclusion of the bishops' meeting on Sept. 26. It details their concern over the countrys current political situation as local elections draw near on Nov. 4.
Jesus condemns this way of understanding and exercising authority in society, as it creates a permanent environment of confrontation over the search the power or holding on to it at all costs, giving way to authoritarianism, strongman politics, the manipulation of consciences, corruption, injustice, lawlessness and violence, the bishops said.
The upcoming local elections are an appropriate occasion to reflect on the manner which power is exercised and politics is practiced today in Nicaragua, they added.
This requires serious consideration of the different proposals candidates are making and voting for the ones that are best and most appropriate for the common good of their communities, the bishops stated.
They also criticized opposition leaders for in-fighting and negative criticism, which is aimed more at seeking power and personal ambition than at strengthening democracy.
These parties are unable to understand the feelings of the people, they dont rotate out their leaders and they dont offer clear, alternative political strategies that lead to a plan forward for the nation, the bishops said.
Nicaraguas political system is in desperate need of an overhaul, they added, so that it is no longer seen as something for personal gain.

Edward L. Ford, a 30-year veteran in the workplace motivation, incentive and recognition industry, strives to ensure that businesses thrive and function seamlessly by promoting a symbiotic relationship between employees and executive management that nurtures a sustainable work environment. Through his Salt Lake-based company Ed Ford and Associates, he develops workable models for employee recognition that achieve measured results, and challenge traditional methods that have become outdated in the industry. His philosophy is predicated on a mathematically derived formula for an employee's lifetime value and includes methods, processes, incentives and rewards that are proved to be effective at producing a more desirable outcome than any other standard technique when applied to an individual condition or circumstance. Mr. Ford has presented countless workshops and seminars on the topic of employee engagement with the goal of raising profit margins and customer satisfaction, and is the author of an excess of 30 published works including "Guidelines for a Total Recognition Strategy," "The Official Recognition Workbook" and numerous articles for Human Resource Executive and Human Capital (now Workplace HR & Safety). Looking ahead, Mr. Ford plans to grow his practice and bring on new clients that are receptive to best practices in employee recognition. As he explained, "I want to make a difference in the recognition industry — make it possible for employers to treat employees with respect and dignity and, in doing so, increase their profits."

TOKYO—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) invites visitors to CEATEC 2010, Japan's biggest consumer electronics show, to experience the company's latest advances in digital technologies and in products and services that makes life easier, more exciting and more enjoyable. Toshiba's 3D[1] TVs without any need for dedicated glasses and the unprecedented level of visual entertainment that they offer will be on display, and are sure to be one of the highlights of CEATEC. Toshiba will also reveal details of its visual products strategy at an October 4 press conference in Makuhari.
CEATEC will run from October 5 to October 9 at Makuhari Messe, and Toshiba will be at booth 2A37.
The world's first[2] LCD TVs to deliver full 3D without any need for dedicated glasses. "Glasses-less 3D REGZA GL1" series offers two models with screen sizes specifically designed for personal use: the 20-inch 20GL1 and the 12-inch12GL1. The TVs employ an integral imaging system[3] and perpendicular lenticular sheet[4] to display smooth, natural images, and Toshiba's image processing technology to create nine parallax images[5] from the original content and convert it to 3D images. The result is precise rendering of high quality 3D images, whatever the viewing angle within the viewing zone[1]. Both TVs will be available in Japan from the end of December. The 3D technology without glasses will also be demonstrated on a 56-inch TV.
Toshiba's launch of cloud-based "Regza Apps Connect" will bring an exciting new level of interconnectivity to digital TVs, digital recorders, PCs and smartphones. In the first phase, Toshiba will launch "tag list share," a dedicated service allowing users to tag recommended video scenes, and share information and comments. The service will extend to iPhones and iPads via a dedicated app, with software for the iOS available from the end of October and will operate in the Japanese market.
(3)-1. CELL REGZA LCD TV Series: Superior 3D capabilities.
CELL REGZA series 3D capabilities[6] include 3D Super Resolution Technology. This takes 3D content delivered by side-by-side system[7], the most widely adopted system for 3D broadcasts, and boosts it to near high definition quality. It also supports 2D3D Conversion Technology[8] that captures and analyzes image composition and movement in 2D content and converts it to 3D in real time, all with precise rendering and natural, high definition images.
(3)-2. REGZA F1 Series: 3D in a sophisticated 29mm deep design.
The F1 Series 3D LED TVs are a sophisticated balance of stylish design and eco-friendly efficiency with a striking 29mm profile, realizing TVs as light as they are stylish. The annual power consumption of the 46F1 model is as low as 160kWh per year, and it uses 33% less packaging materials than other TVs with the same screen size.
Toshiba Places is a new online service for delivery of e-books, video and game distribution, and online shopping.
The latest series of "dynabook" notebook PCs for the Japanese market such as PCs that support 3D with dedicated glasses. A technology demo will feature a 3D PC without glasses. The Folio 100, a tablet PC for the European market, will also be showcased. This 25.7cm (10.1-inch) screen personal media tablet runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo), and supports a rich multimedia experience, including a wide selection of applications and services dedicated to media consumption, web browsing and social networking.
A Toshiba booth in "CEATEC Smart Grid Innovation 2010" will introduce the company's vision to Smart Community. Toshiba is involved in smart solutions from production to consumption, with expertise in smart grids, energy management systems for photovoltaic power generation, and cloud-based energy management systems for homes, buildings and communities.

Climate change projections suggest in 80 years time, Juniper will disappear from much of southern . If this happens, the could become the last bastion of this much-loved plant. Plantlife is trialling a range of novel habitat management techniques to help Juniper to regenerate successfully.
In more than a third of remaining Juniper sites are now under threat.
Plantlife is acting to prevent the loss of Juniper and restore habitat to make it suitable not only for Juniper but a range of other threatened wild plants and insects.
Please help us continue our wild plant conservation in England, Scotland and Wales.

May My Mind Come Alive…
May My Mind Come Alive
"May my mind come alive today to the invisible geography that invites me to new frontiers, to break the shell of yesterday, to risk being disturbed and changed…to do at last what I came here for and waste my heart on fear no more."
– John O'Donahue
I love this quote, that a very dear friend of mine sent me. Scores of inspiring quotes pass me by every day on Facebook – I simply can't give them the attention they deserve but something about this one caught my attention.
"invisible geography…and…new frontiers"
Is it because he is using imagery close to my heart, that of geography? I call my programmes Pathfinder and Mapmaker for a reason and here John O'Donahue is talking about "invisible geography…and…new frontiers". He knows that what prevents us so often from moving on feels like a real shell around us. Our thoughts may be invisible and our feelings may be invisible but the energetic reality they set up IS our reality.
"the shell of yesterday"
And then he talks about exactly what EFT does so well – it breaks "the shell of yesterday".
As we tap, it literally dissolves our perception of reality as we have created it, through the medium of decisions and judgements, housed in our body… I use the word "literally" with care. Over and over, when clients describe how they feel the reality of their present uncomfortable situation, images come up like, "like a vice gripping my throat", "it feels as if I have a heavy stone in my belly" or "there high wall around me with no doors…" These images are harsh, cold and hard.
With tapping, the image changes to a softer version – doors appear in walls, the stone becomes jelly, the vice turns into a transparent veil….Eventually, they disappear. They are not needed anymore. The client is free from the "shell of yesterday" and is ready to move on, with joy and expansion.
"risk of being disturbed and changed"
Of course, this expansion inevitable changes the landscape. When you break free, things change. Shifts need to be made, and it is not always comfortable. Sometimes the externals need to change.
The magical thing is that as you change, it creates the opportunity for people to change around you. When you are no longer holding onto the patterns of one half of a co- dependent relationship for example, it frees the other to be different too. Often times I have heard of wonderful healing happening in relationship when just one partner has broken their own shell.
And sometimes, change requires you to move on – not always comfortable. Whether in relationship to self or other, to work and other external situations, the inner work releases the possibility of change. But when it is clear, then that "risk of being disturbed and changed" is well worth it. The new energy pattern gives one freedom.
"to do at last what I came here for"
This is what is so exciting about "my mind coming alive". This transformational work isn't about self. It is about "other". I have never met one single person who wanted to work on their own development purely out of self-interest. There is always the bigger reason. Always. And that is truly motivating. When you connect with the "big why", then everything is possible, because to be held back because of the ego seems silly, really…"to do at last what I came here for".
"…and waste my heart on fear no more."

The great thing is that Fender and Squier make so many different versions of the tele which are suitable so you are in luck.

Hold the phone... I've never seen that Classic Vibe Custom! Wow, what a sweet guitar! And it's NOT made in China(assuming from Mike LA's post)? How much are those beauties going for here in the states?

You cant go wrong, make any choice you fancy. I would buy a MIM & I just did the other day, I am very Happy with it. The reason is resale value, the Squier line doesn't hold it value as well as the MIM Fender Line.

The unfortunate thing is that people are stuck on headstock names. Experienced players who know teles do know the vintage flavored Squires are excellent instruments in their own right and their value is in their quality, and just check out the above video.

sounds like CV may be the way to go, I'd still try to find a good used MiM first... you should end up with a great guitar either way.

And this should be a line used in every prop given to a Squier CV. Sometimes I wonder if guys who put them down have ever played one or if they play much at all? You can't play guitar much if you don't recognize the basic quality and value of those instruments.

All the good players I know have various instruments (some only one) with great names, OK names, and unknown names on their headstocks but get them an instrument in the quality ballpark where they can show their abilities, then it's all over. The Squier CV is right there and a real player with one in his/her hands will be all over the casual player or collector with a Custom Shop gem. If a player is good and still puts down a guitar that they sound and play great on (like the Squier), then it's their problem because there's always somebody better who will take that guitar further than they will ever get. At the end of the day, it's the music and a person with a brain, hands, guts, and determination coaxing music out of a few pieces of wood, plastic, and metal and the listener/buyer will not care what words are on the headstock. |

Yeah I understand you. Holding out for a good used MIM may be the way to go if there were a larger pool of instruments available, or the Australian economy was in a real recession (now that would work...). However as you point out, down here anything with Fender on the headstock will sell for nearly the same as brand new.

When I started playing electric guitar there was maple or rosewood fretboard on typical two pickup tele, the custom with humbucker and single coil, and on special orders a Bigsby.
