With the latest mobile phones taking full advantage of responsive capacitive touchscreens, it seems like there's no limit to what you can get up to. Phone Arts looks to take advantage, letting you create your own mini artwork and share it on a website tailored to mobile phones.
The results are inevitably varied – with some pieces of artwork looking like they belong in a modern art gallery, and others looking more like a doodle in Microsoft Paint.
Unfortunately, despite the promising premise, one recurring theme from the Phone Art contributions is a lack of overall detail in most of the pieces – a lot of the creations are based on colours or movement, highlighting the limitations of a relatively small screen and finger-based input. Some of the pieces do show a lot more evidence of thought and imagination, however, with a surprising amount of depth and detail.
Overall, the jury is still out on the results of the phone art pieces – are they really good enough to be classed as art, do they drive a response or create any feelings, or are they just doodles? We'd love to hear your opinion on Phone Arts.

Women's Natural Health
About Me -
Suzanna Burton
Reiki Practitioner
Abdominal - Sacral Massage Practitioner
Holistic Therapist
I first qualified in 1996 as a City & Guilds Beauty Therapist. From an early age I was always conscious about looking after my skin and nails etc. However, It soon became apparent that I had a great interest in the Holistic approach.
Years later I experienced a difficult time in my life and I became very interested in Reiki - A natural healing technique from Japan. After experiencing the benefits of Reiki for myself, I decided to train as a Reiki Practitioner so I could incorporate Reiki into my treatments to benefit my clients.
As well as Reiki, I have a passion for Massage Therapy. I was treating a number of client's who worked in offices or that had young children and were complaining of back problems. I was already VTCT trained in Level 3 Swedish Massage but to help with these types of complaints I decided that I wanted to study massage further. VTCT is a world recognised qualification and following further study, I qualified in Deep Tissue Massage, Massage in Pregnancy and Hot Stones Massage.
Shortly after that, for personal reasons, I began research in to 'Fertility Massage'. I knew straight away that this is what I had to do next. I wanted to help other women in similar situations to myself so I spent weeks and weeks of reading and researching. As the majority of training & information in this field is based in America it was difficult to find somewhere in the UK where I could train. Eventually, I found a wonderful lady who runs a fertility retreat in London. Without absolutely no hesitation that this course would be right for me, off I went with my case packed down to London. I was taught by a remarkable lady with years of experience, I knew I was in safe hands. I truly believe that the course has changed my life, both personally and professionally.
I am now a fully qualified 'Abdominal -Sacral Massage Practitioner'. I feel very privileged to be one of only a few in the UK and to date the only practitioner in the North West. My passion for 'Women's natural health' continues
I love my work, I am very blessed.
Best wishes

text: Oh no, not again. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won a second term in office. I illustrated him as an ignoble gnome. The Lilliputian, though, savours his moment of triumph. His features are severe and he gives the impression of being raucous and uncouth. His nose is far too big for his tiny face. His eyes are tiny and darting, albeit piercing. The disheveled diminutive man who leads Iran promises much, and sniffs around for trouble but will not contemplate a nose job. parent page (18 - 24 June 2009, issue #952) |

The sad case of Rimsha Masih - Support Disability Awareness in Pakistan
Opened on August 24, 2012
For people with disabilities, the Civil Rights Movement is not over...anywhere in the world! Sign this petition to show your support for disability awareness in Pakistan.
If you are a disability rights advocate or love someone with special needs, are in Pakistan or follow the news about Pakistan, you know that a young girl named Rimsha Masih has been in solitary confinement for about a week now.
She is accused of burning a Noorani Qaida (an introductory level reading material for children who are learning to read the Quran sharif).
There was outrage and the girl was beaten and taken to the police station where she was arrested.
...but there is more to this story...
The NGO Christians in Pakistan has reported that Rimsha is a child with Down's Syndrome.
There is spotty information about her age (anywhere between 11-16), and the level of her Down's syndrome and if she has ever received any therapy, education or assistance for her special needs.
..think about this....unlike other cognitive, learning, mental, some physical, occupational disabilities that are often missed because they are not seen ---but you cannot miss a child with Down's Syndrome. They are visibly different.
The fact is that no one cared to look into this facet of the child's existence, and that is just sad. How angry does one have to be to forget that the object of their anger is a child.... with special needs?
Here's the truth we follow: We're all Pakistanis. We look out for our own, especially those that are more deserving of our help. Such incidents should never happen, not on our watch. We are a nation that is inherently compassionate and kind. There is more that binds us together than what sets us apart.
Take five minutes of your day to inform yourself on the many ways children with special needs in Pakistan are sidelined when it comes to their rights and quality of life. And please do a little (or a lot) to help those you see in need -- even if it means to quietly separate yourself from the mob that wishes to vilify others based on cockamamie notions.
Help us spread this word of tolerance towards children with special needs and support disability awareness in Pakistan! Please sign this petition and pass it on to your like minded friends and family!
We will mail this petition to the President of Pakistan, Islamabad, Pakistan.

When fools rush in
So Clive Doucet has decided to take on Larry O'Brien for the Mayor's chair. And that's exactly what it is. I don't believe the severance idea that many have speculated is the cause behind this run. Doucet is not in this for the severance he will get if he loses. I think that might apply more to Alex Cullen who maybe using his Mayor's run to position himself to take on Yasir Naqvi in Ottawa Centre next provincial election.
But I digress. Doucet hates Mayor O'Brien and I believe that is what is driving this erratic decision. I believe that Doucet's decision is motivated by being the anti-O'Brien candidate.
And this is a problem for Jim Watson, the current leading candidate for the Mayor of Ottawa. If Doucet can position himself as the vote for the anti-O'Brien supporters, it will cost Watson. Just like the ward races, one has to wonder if too many people enter to challenge an incumbent, does splitting the vote help the cause or support the incumbent. We know the answer.
This has been Doucet's problem for many of the causes he champions. His emotions get the better of him and his execution is lacking. Instead of teaming up with Watson, he has chosen to challenge him for the same votes that Watson needs to win. No one voting for Doucet would have voted for O'Brien anyway.
Doucet is helping the O'Brien team…not sure that's the plan.

Charter rate per person same as regular fare ($6 adult, $4 children and seniors, 5 and under free), plus the following stipulations:
When you call the Museum, specify where the trolley will pick up your group on the 1.5 mile route:

Your group may also bring a picnic lunch. Tables are located at TR Gallo Memorial Park, Kingston Point and the Trolley Museum. If you plan to have a picnic, mention this when you make your reservation.
Please allow enough time for your visit. Here is a break down of the activities:
Groups with a particular interest in trolley cars, railroading or transportation history are certainly welcome to spend more time in the Visitors Center and Restoration Shop. Plan your time accordingly.
The trolley seats 28 people, so if your group is larger than 28, normally your group will be split so some ride the trolley while the others visit the museum and then swap.
There are restrooms in the Trolley Museum Visitors Center and at TR Gallo Memorial Park. The Trolley Museum Visitors Center also has a gift shop.

There is no higher priority for Congress than keeping our nation, communities and families safe here at home. The preamble of the Constitution specifically calls for the "common defense" of our nation, and Article I, Section 8 makes clear it is up to Congress to provide this security. We must be diligent in protecting America from acts of terrorism. In recent years, Congress and the various federal agencies have taken steps to further protect American citizens. I have consistently supported funding to improve communication and information sharing between intelligence and law enforcement agencies at local, state, and federal levels through fusion centers. Federal grants provided to law enforcement agencies have allowed technological advancements to make policing activities safer and more efficient. Going forward, increased use of technology will be essential in the continued fight against those seeking to attack us. This means taking advantage of our national assets – including our national labs and partnering with the private sector and universities – to develop technologies designed to protect critical infrastructure, identify threats and prevent potential attacks. At home, the Port of Tacoma is the largest container port in Washington State and I have worked hard to increase security at our ports. As Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am working to ensure that our military is the best and most effective fighting force in the world. By aggressively prosecuting extremism around the world, our servicemen and women help prevent terrorist organizations from bringing the fight to our shores. As we continue to combat terrorism, we must be adamant in protecting the individual civil liberties that are a bedrock principle of our democracy. Developing and implementing new security standards is a process that takes time and proper supervision. Congress must be active in maintaining proper oversight of federal agencies and officials that conduct surveillance. We must continue working to find the appropriate balance that protects the rights we hold dearly while assuring the safety of American citizens. If we are to prevent future attacks on our shores, we need to have a standard of excellence when it comes to security while taking all appropriate steps to ensure federal officials do not inappropriately infringe upon the privacy or liberties of individuals.

Re: Child care in Namibia
What can you share with us about the child care system in Namibia ? ....Local Namibians just love children. They are protective and concearned about all children.The Child Care system is very varied due to all the Global Nationalities found here. Mostly English (Montesori), German and Afrikaans Day-Care Facilities are found. The majority are bilingual. Many Home Care providers are available with 2-8 children that they take care of in a Home environment.
How much is daycare in Namibia? Include expensive somewhere here.
Is the staff qualified at these daycare centers? It varies, ask around and ask for Qualification Papers. Mostly one or two staff members are qualified at some of the smaller schools, and the rest of the assistants have been at the school forever, and have lots of experience. At some of the other schools most are qualified. At some - nobody are formally qualified. Word-of-mouth is the best reference here.
What are the usual opening hours? Some Day-care facilities operate from 7am to midday, but most offer a care system including all meals and snacks up to 5pm. Every half hour that the parent is late for collecting the learner - they are fined a small amount for "over time".
Do they provide other services at the daycare center? Yes plenty: You get what you pay for and consider that you could opt for the best care incl. Doctors visits(for inoculations or school ground small accidents), Interactive sport participation, Swimming lessons, Ball Sports for early development, Drama Classes, Music Lessons etc.
Any daycare center in Namibia you would like to recommend to other expats? In Windhoek: Kleine Professor, Treintjie Skool, St Georges Kindergarden, DHPS Kindergarten, there is too many to list...There is a long-long-long list. They have waiting lists at the schools. Most offer the First Academic Year School Year as well.
What makes them special? Bilingual, A good reputation, long standing good code of conduct, good press coverage, lots of school activities, their kids are easily accepted in the Primary Schools due to good foundations, they have a good communication system with parents...they have some pets at school for the children to interact with..

Vetus Hits a Home Run!
As promised I'm finally back from my travels to METS in Amsterdam and a trip immediately after that to work with all of my friends up in Halifax, Nova Scotia. One of the items that caught my eye at METS was a new bow thruster design that is truly new, and super innovative. The "Rimdrive" as they are calling it is unique and was nominated for a DAME award at the METS this year. Check it out here:
RimDrive Motor
Vetus explains this revolutionary design this way:
"The Rimdrive is an exciting and innovative development in bow thruster design. In contrast with conventional thrusters, the electric motor does not take up valuable space inside the boat. The propeller forms the rotating part of the electric motor (rotor) and the fixed winding (stator) is mounted in the tunnel. This results in a very compact and self contained thruster."
• Virtually cavitation free and thus very silent
• Proportional control as standard
• Unlimited working time
• Propeller can easily be exchanged
To give you a better feel for how much storage space this baby can create for you under your v-berth, check this drawing out:
So I really can't wait to see one of these units installed in a boat. This was for me the coolest new idea I saw at METS this year.

If you take a moment to think about it, how often do you really see bridesmaids in green? Not nearly as often as bridesmaids in purple or blue, that's for certain. We immediately fell in love with this North Carolina mountain wedding for the vintage flair. Even the couple's dog makes an appearance on wedding day, in a perfectly coordinated green leash! This wedding is a perfect day at Lake Lure, and a lovely source of inspiration for any bride planning her outdoor wedding in the South.

Let's face it, no one has great hair after a proper workout. It generally takes a cleverly placed accessory or a couple of hair elastics/pins to walk out of the gym without looking a right mess.
Need a little inspiration for your own post-workout look? Check out the stars above for a few cute options that'll have you ready for your close-up (or return to work) in a matter of seconds.
If you seek a do-it-all headband to wear during/after your session (like Brooke's), be sure to try a Lululemon Headwrap. They're perfect for the gym, on a lazy day, or to keep your hair out of the way when applying makeup. Just be warned- They're highly addictive...

Whether you're a fan of the local SuperCuts or a client of an A-List superstylist, the success of a haircut can be measured by how well it suits your face. Not minding this simple fact can result in all sorts of wig-worthy mishaps.
To ensure you've got the cut best suited to your face shape (Or will, after reading this!), I've enlisted the help of a few choice celebrity stylists to guide us.
A Round Face If your face shape resembles that of Cameron Diaz, Oprah Winfrey, or Catherine Zeta-Jones, Seiji Kitazato suggests:
An Oval Face If you have a similar shape to Beyoncé Knowles, Terri Hatcher, or Jessica Alba, Mario Russo recommends:
A Heart-Shaped Face If your face shape is like that of Reese Witherspoon, Sophie Dahl, or Jennifer Lopez, Rodney Cutler recommends:
A Square-Shaped Face If the shape of your face is similar to Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, or Rosario Dawson, Rolando Beauchamp suggests:

Natalie Portman did it for "V for Vendetta" (and revived her look), Britney Spears used it as a form of therapy (no comment), and now Cameron Diaz is sporting a bald cap for her latest flick, "My Sister's Keeper."
Does Cameron look cute or creepy without her golden locks?

What an exciting week it's been in the fang community — Sara Canning just turned 25, Steven R. McQueen celebrated his 24th year of life, and the Vampire Diaries cast won big at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards. And contributing to the series of celebratory events is Paul Wesley — for turning a milestone 30th today on July 23!
Unlike his 162-year-old TVD counterpart Stefan Salvatore, Paul is still a young'un — but he does possess a rare wise soul and charismatic personality (and crazy set of abs) which is why we adore him! So in honor of Paul's special day, we've put together a list of kick-ass facts about him and even included our favorite photos of him looking, um well, smokin' hot! Join the birthday festivities below:
Paul's full name is Paul Thomas Wasilewski.
Photo Credit: The Vampire Diaries / The CW
He was born on July 23, 1982! (He's a Leo!)

Paul has three awesome sisters named Monika, Julia and Leah.

He hails from Poland but was born and raised in Malboro, New Jersey.
Photo Credit: Art Streiber / The CW
He currently rocks our worlds as the deliciously broody Stefan Salvatore on TVD!
Photo Credit: The Vampire Diaries / The CW
He's married to One Tree Hill and Pretty Little Liars actress, Torrey DeVitto!
Before heading off to Hollywood, Paul was enrolled as a student at Rutgers University (where his favorite campus delicacy was an infamous "fat" sandwich called the "fat bi*ch".)
He's 100% athletic: I love snowboarding. I love, love, love, it. It's one of my favorite things to do. I love to go a ski chalet with some friends and go snowboarding.

Is that Seth Brody? Why, yes it is! Paul guest-starred on the hit Fox series, The O.C. back in the day!
Photo Credit: The O.C.
He's super talented! In fact, he was nominated in the YoungStar Awards Best Young Actor/Performance in a Daytime TV Series category for his role in the soap opera Guiding Light.
Photo Credit: Teen Vogue, November 2009
Homeboy can hoola hoop -- just check him out in Cloud9!
He's won two Teen Choice Awards for his role as Stefan.
Just like his co-star Ian Somerhalder, Paul is a huge animal lover. Just check him out walking his adorable dog!
Photo Credit: WENN.com
Just like Stefan, Paul loves literature. His favorite book? Catcher in the Rye!
He's close with his fellow Savaltore brother, Ian Somerhalder. Look at the two of them modeling some dapper winter coats!
Paul confesses to being a troublemaking rebel in his youth. (A hot one, we bet!)
Back in the day, he played a popular jock in American Dreams alongside Brittany Snow!
He's always been a romantic! When he was 14, he even sent his girlfriend at the time a five-foot teddy bear. (So cute -- oh and he cried during Titanic.)
Photo Credit: Mr Doug Inglish / Mr Porter
Before he ever became a sexy vampire, Paul played a sexy werewolf in Wolf Lake!
Paul loves movie reruns such as the Godfather and Goonies but dislikes the movie going experience because of people crunching popcorn loudly. (LOL!)
Photo Credit: Rolling Stone
Paul enjoys all cuisines but confesses to be a bit of a sushi maniac.
Look at him -- always playing a hero. (Swoon.) This pic is from his stint on Army Wives!
He was selected as one of People's Sexiest Men of 2012! (We back that decision fully!)
Photo Credit: The Vampire Diaries / The CW
He had his first kiss at age 9 in a swimming pool! 'There was a girl there, and she dared me or I dared her into kissing me underwater. That wasn't a French kiss � that was like a "muah" kiss.'
Photo Credit: Yu Tsai/Contour by Getty Images
He's close friends with Hollywood star Ben McKenzie. The two hit up sports events together!
Just like Stefan with Katherine and Elena, he appreciates beauty...which is why he celebrity crush is Monica Bellucci!
Photo Credit: The Vampire Diaries / The CW
He's always up for a challenge: 'Every role presents a new opportunity for me to do something different and to explore something different.'
Paul revealed that he loves cold locations becasue there's nothing more romantic than cozying up to your significant other in front of a steamy fireplace. Oh la la!
He starred in Killer Movie.
Forget fanged creatures! In the miniseries series, Fallen, Paul took on the role of of a Nephilim (a guardian angel).
What's your favorite thing about Paul Wesley? Post your happy birthday wishes below!

Genomics and biology of Rudiviruses, a model for the study of virus-host interactions in Archaea. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23356326 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review |
Archaeal viruses, especially viruses that infect hyperthermophilic archaea of the phylum Crenarchaeota, constitute one of the least understood parts of the virosphere. However, owing to recent substantial research efforts by several groups, archaeal viruses are starting to gradually reveal their secrets. In the present review, we summarize the current knowledge on one of the emerging model systems for studies on crenarchaeal viruses, the Rudiviridae. We discuss the recent advances towards understanding the function and structure of the proteins encoded by the rudivirus genomes, their role in the virus life cycle, and outline the directions for further research on this model system. In addition, a revised genome annotation of SIRV2 (Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped virus 2) is presented. Future studies on archaeal viruses, combined with the knowledge on viruses of bacteria and eukaryotes, should lead to a better global understanding of the diversity and evolution of virus-host interactions in the viral world. |

I think old Brian Sandalow has a quick key on his laptop that spits out the phrase "prison rules". Old Co/U/IHL mainstay Robin Bouchard takes another shot at his former league on Sandalow's blog:
"(The CHL's) looser, it's a bit more run-and-gun than what I'm used to system-wise," Bouchard said. "It's not as tight as what it was in the old IHL or whatever you want to call that league. They probably changed the name again this week or something. It's a bit tighter over there."
Yeah, I'm guessing Bouchard still has some issues with the folks up north.
- Looks like Rocky Mountain has found its first casualty, as the Rage cut loose veteran John Snowden (who was promptly claimed by Amarillo). That release certainly raises eyebrows as Snowden was a ballyhooed offseason signing by the Mountain.
- Mike Gorman is now a Gorilla. Obviously, those will be some emotional games against his former team in Rio. You know, the one he never suited up for.
- Bob Przybylo (after having to spell that, we night just go with "King Consonant" or "The Boneman" from now on) has some CHL rankings on his blog.
Pointstreak shows that Snowden was claimed by Amarillo, though, and not Arizona.
[My mistake. I thought it said Arizona next to his name. It's been corrected on the blog -- GR]

Florida's only wading bird on the endangered species list, the wood stork, is on the mend. From a low of about 2,500 nesting pairs in most of South and Central Florida in 1984, the bird has since grown to around 7,000 to 9,000 nesting pairs.

Former U. S. Sen. George LeMieux was once Charlie Crist's closest confidant as his chief of staff, so valued by the ex-governor that it was Crist who appointed him to fill out the term of the retiring Mel Martinez in the Senate in 2009.

When the nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak exploded into headlines two months ago, Florida health officials responded quickly, tracking the contaminated drug lots and finding potential victims. At least 25 in Florida were sickened, and three died.
As state and federal lawmakers roll out and implement the health care reform law over the next few years, millions of people living in the U.S. who didn't have health insurance will gain insurance.

Motorists are free to blast Justin Timberlake -- or any other music they choose -- as loud as they wish, the Florida Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
The court unanimously struck down a state law barring drivers from blaring their radios at a volume that was "plainly audible" to someone 25 feet away. Three of the seven justices -- Chief Justice Ricky Polston and Justices Charles Canady and Peggy Quince -- didn't fully support the reasoning behind the decision, but didn't write opinions saying where they differed.
The Cuban government officially doesn't like reggaeton. As some of you know, reggaeton is that mix of Jamaican dancehall music and Spanish hip hop that you hear blasted through car speakers all over Miami and in almost any club you go to in the city.
I would say reggaeton is an acquired taste, but the Cuban government was some pretty serious feelings about this.

The Act Three Showdown, aka the Climax
I've discussed this before, here. And THANK YOU to Elle Strauss for reminding me of this epidemic in published fiction, with her blog post, here.
Authors and editors:
Endings should be BIG. The reader should be able to pinpoint the CLIMAX, the point where all the conflict that has been building over the course of the novel has finally reached its PEAK-- even if the book is part of a series, the ending of each book should resolve something. This should be the biggest, most INTENSE conflict of the entire novel. It should feel like a SHOWDOWN between the protagonist and the antagonist (whoever or whatever the antagonist happens to be).
The number one reason I knock off a star from a book rating is because the ending wasn't big enough or it didn't satisfy. This needs to stop. This needs to change. It's bringing down the quality of our reading choices.
* language warning
6 comments:
This is one of the biggest problems I usually have with some books. I read pass the climax and I wonder "wait a minute, did I just read the climax. Oh, yes, I did. Okay..." Usually, those books don't get onto my list of favorite books, since those tend to have an explicit final confrontation that makes it clear that "this is the moment where things go down".
(Ironically, one of my least favorite books last year saved its protagonist from complete apathy by having a tragic and powerful climax where he garners some sympathy through his situation. Not that he was ever redeemable, which was why I hated it. It's a character-driven novel with an apathetic protagonist. Not a good combination).
I'm writing through one of those moments. Really, it's one of two climax, the one for the "relationship arc", so to say, happening earlier, with this one being for the "dramatic arc". Both are showdowns in their own right.Lydia, I don't know that it will stop. It's like some writers painted themselves into the corner of a room and can't work out how to get out. I read a mystery, billed as a thriller. Premise wasn't so bad, but that's where it began to unravel. The ending was forced, actually silly and ...
I was reminded once again ... it takes a great deal of patience and skill to bring anything worth doing to a climax (she says tongue in cheek) :)I am the same way. I will absolutely ding a book a star if the ending doesn't deliver.
When I write, I almost always know what the climax will be, and I build toward it. Whether it's a single moment or a scene or the plot twist or the entire third act, I write the rest of the book anticipating the climax. So when I read, I do the same. I anticipate where the author is leading me and get excited, and if it doesn't deliver, I am disappointed in the whole thing.

Hanninen closing on Russia Rally win
Hanninen closing on Russia Rally win
July 11 2009
Finland's Juho Hanninen remains on course for a dominant Rally Russia victory after the penultimate loop of stages.
Ten of the 11 stages run have seen Hanninen's Skoda Fabia top the times, with only a fired-up Anton Alen taking SS11 from him this morning in his Abarth Grande Punto, after restarting the event under Superally regulations.
Given the pounding that has been meted out by the rocky Russian terrain so far this weekend, many are opting for a conservative approach to the final loop of the event. There is little to be gained and much to be lost, with sizeable gaps now among the spread-out field.
The most recent retirement is that of Aleksandr Zheludov, the Russian national champion, whose Peugeot 207 expired on SS12, costing Franz Wittmann a few seconds to negotiate the stricken car.
For Alen, now consistently on the leader's tail through the stages, it has been a frustrating experience.
"I was hoping my bad luck would stop over here, but apparently not yet. I hope in the next rally," he said. "OK, this chassis is quite old. But I don't know why it broke yesterday. We'll see."

Disston Steel Works, Philadelphia, PA
Sometimes, one has to look into the past to see a way into the future.
At one time, Philadelphia was known as the workhouse of the world for it was a city comprised of thousands of job opportunities to be found in shops, shipyards and manufacturing centers. Take a drive through Philadelphia and you will find the remnants of seamstress factories, hat shops, textile shops, tanners, metal workers, dye makers, print shops, ice makers, refrigerator factories, locomotive factories, foundries, brickmakers, shipyards, granaries and iron works. At one time, Philadelphia boasted a workforce numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
All of that, however, is gone. Where once there was employment, jobs in Philadelphia are now hard, if not impossible, to find.
1918 Seattle General Strike
Corporate Greed
What is to blame for all of this? The times change for sure. Not many people wear hats nor is there a great need for tanners. Greed and mismanagement, however, are also partly to blame. Both labor unions and corporations must equally share the blame for American industries moving overseas where labor and material can be easily exploited. Unions demand sometimes ridiculous wages and benefits. Why does a UAW (United Auto Worker) who is making $40 an hour be paid benefits? Why pay a US worker minimum wage when you can pay a Third World worker 10 cents an hour and increase your profit margin? Instead of working together to keep the business afloat, industry leaders and unions have fought each other to the point where they are both now endanger of becoming as extinct as the dinosaurs.
American industry leaders are no longer inventive. New ideas are put into action based now, on cost and profit margins, rather than on long term gain. Because of this, we have fallen behind our European and Asian competitors who are much more patient and forward looking than we are.
U.S. Capitol Building
The U.S. Government has also played a hand in destroying American industries. They have over-regulated our industries so much that they are no longer productive. The government needs to loosen the bonds some. We need to encourage our industries, not keep them in check. We need to become competitive with our foreign competition. We should reward creativity and job creation; not stifle it.
American laborers
We need to bring our industries back home to America where they belong. We need to create jobs for Americans; not to foreigners. Does this mean we should break up the monopoly dominated by corporations? Maybe so. Of course, by doing so we would also have to curtail the power of the labor union. Worker's salaries should be fair and competitive; an honest day's wage for an honest day's work. Capitalism should always be about competition and free markets; not about market dominance.
The Government's answer to our industrial woe is to offer bailouts to poorly managed companies and to give handouts to the American people. In other words, the only solution our leaders can find to this problem is to offer both corporate and personal welfare. Americans don't want government handouts as much as they want a job. It does a man (or woman) good to see the fruits of their labors and to reap the benefits of their own work by having a little spending money in their pocket.
Henry Ford and his Model-T
America was a creative, industrious nation once and, with a little turning of the wrench, we can be again.

I am often conflicted. It's my nature. Probably why I enjoy mathematics. Likely why I am frequently miffed about politics.
Take Barack Obama. I admire greatly that he is a practical decision maker. I truly value that he is philosophically in tune with my sense of fairness and equality and such matters. Given my feelings about our president of whom I am a strong supporter (surprise!), examples of my inner conflict are not infrequent.
Drones. What a great technological advantage they provide our nation at this time and how great that we need to send fewer humans to battle. There is always collateral damage in wartime so I am kind of okay with their use. But what if other nations were to possess weaponized drones? A certainty at some point. And suppose Romney were president. Happily, a certainty, he's not.
Keystone Pipeline. Having spent some time in Oswego this past summer talking with members of that community, this is a really big deal for them. Signs in front of homes provide graphic demonstrations of a deep split in an economically vulnerable area of New York. Fracking is the new f-word to most progressives. Still, Joe Nocera (NY Times editorial earlier this week) wrote that an energy expert at Stanford University pointed out, So long as the demand is there, energy producers are going to search for new supplies of fossil fuel – many of them using unconventional means like tar sands extraction. . . With growing global demand, the economic pressure to develop unconventional resources is enormous and not going away. Can environmental groups expect to win a series of fights for decades to come, when the economic forces are aligned very strongly against them in each round? The answer is obvious: no. The emphasis should be on demand, not supply. If the U.S. stopped consuming so much of the world's oil, the economic need for the tar sands would evaporate.
Sequester. This 'deal' was approved because nobody in his or her right mind would ever allow it to happen. I have been on record all along as believing it won't happen–can't happen. Not because the sides will get together around a cozy fireplace and work things out. Rather, big business will, behind the scenes, cause the GOP to submit to postponing or caving. There are respected progressives who see the sequester as a one-time opportunity to reducing the military budget, recognizing we live in a far different world from the time war-making had not evolved to today's standards.
The origin of the sequester is commonly attributed to the 2011 Budget Control Act. Its roots are in Reaganomics: his starve the beast strategy aimed at shrinking the role of government over time. Recognizing it would be almost impossible, and politically damaging, to eliminate social programs, Reagan preferred to reduce funding, rendering these impotent. Alan Greenspan testified before the U.S. Finance Committee: Let us remember that the basic purpose of any tax cut program in today's environment is to reduce the momentum of expenditure growth by restraining the amount of revenue available and trust that there is a political limit to deficit spending.
W. Bush jumped at the opportunity: Tax and deficit spending were attempts to starve the beast. So we offer a tax relief plan that provides a new kind-a fiscal straightjacket for Congress.
Starve. Straitjacket. Sequester. Call it what you may, they add up to the same thing–arch-conservative thinking that advantages the wealthy at the expense of America's poor and working middle class. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Planned Parenthood. Never before, however, the military.
This is what is driving neocons up a wall. It's the main reason they fear Chuck Hagel walking the corridors of the Pentagon making decisions about cuts to the military. Republicans have come to realize that President Obama suggested that Congress vote to approve a sequester deal that ignores the social network but jeopardizes weaponry. He knew precisely what he was doing.
So, do I favor the sequester? Nobody does, but . . .
Each day we learn more and more about economic disruption and harm that the sequester will bring to everyday life. Not good. On the other hand some very well meaning progressives want to see it happen. Forgoing sequestration would be missing a great opportunity.

Wye Valley NHS Trust launch 'virtual ward'
1:01pm Wednesday 16th October 2013 in News By Bill Tanner
HERE'S a pitch for future healthcare in the county - why come to the hospital when the hospital can come to you?
That's what the Wye Valley NHS Trust "virtual ward" launched this week is all about.
First reported by the Hereford Times in June, the virtual ward has now gone live for a year-long trial, backed by £1.5m from Herefordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (HCCG).
Staffing the "ward" is a 40-strong team taking the kind of treatment normally experienced on actual wards into patients' homes.
Over the year that team will work closely with patients:
• Stop them having to go into hospital in the first place
• Treat them at home rather than in hospital, taking hospital type care out into the community
• Help them back home more quickly after receiving hospital treatment, as part of a 27/7 service.
"Key to the project's success has been the establishing of a local, multi-disciplinary clinical team consisting of matrons, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and healthcare assistants," said Dr Rupert Ransford, Consultant Gastroenterologist at Wye Valley NHS Trust.
The virtual ward is key element of the Trust plans to ease the pressure on A&E.
To ensure its best use of the virtual ward, two teams have been established. An admission avoidance and early supported discharge team will work with patients under the care of Trust consultants as a "rapid response hospital at home" option to carry out clinical assessments and patient visits 24/7 hours a day, seven days a week countywide.
A second, more preventative focused service will work closely with GP's to assess patients to avoid the need for hospital care at a later date. This service is offered to Hereford initially as a pilot evaluation.
Dr Crispin Fisher, Primary Care Lead with HCCG, said the preventative component enabled GPs to provide much more pro-active and anticipatory care for their patients, supporting them to manage their own conditions and be as independent as possible.
"This is something primary care has always wanted to do in Herefordshire, and it is an exciting opportunity for local GPs," said Dr Fisher.
"This will mean personalised patient care through individual care plans, the promotion of health and wellbeing and a focus on rehabilitation, re-ablement and independence of patients," he said.
The success of the scheme will be measured in terms of improved recovery rates and improved experience of patients. There should also be some knock on effects, such as a reduction in avoidable hospital admissions, that will free up A and E and bed spaces.

Marsha Mason Movies
A former dancer and New York theater star,
Marsha Mason
never quite reached the heights of stardom suggested by her early film career. Still she remains a respected supporting and occasional leading Hollywood actress and has four Oscar nominations to prove it. In film, Mason started out playing bit parts. She also appeared on television in such series as Dr. Kildare. She had her first substantial film role in
Hot Rod Hulaballoo
(1966). Her first big break came after she traveled to San Francisco to appear in an American Conservatory Theater production of Private Lives directed by
Francis Ford Coppola
. While on the West Coast she played a supporting role in
Paul Mazursky
Blume in Love
(1973). It was her stage work, however, that led filmmaker
Mark Rydell
to cast her as a pregnant single mother who prostitutes herself in Seattle in
Cinderella Liberty

Max Dugan (Jason Robards Jr.) is an elderly ne'er-do-well whose tenuous mob connections have made him persona non grata with his daughter Marsha Mason. Struggling to raise her restless son Matthew Broderick on her own, Mason is none too pleased when Max returns to the family fold with yet another portfolio of get-rich-quick schemes. Forced to leave town due to the investigative habits of cop Donald Sutherland, Mason's new boyfriend, Max does one last good deed to renew the faith of the disillusioned-with-life Broderick. Watch for Donald Sutherland's son Kiefer in his film debut, and for former Kansas City Royals' batting coach Charlie Lau in the baseball-game finale. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Lois Gibbs and the Love Canal
Hardly a person is now alive who does not remember the 1978 ecological disaster at the chemical-waste deposits in Love Canal, New York. This made-for-TV film stars Marsha Mason as housewife Lois Gibbs, who suspects that her children have fallen ill due to leakage of toxic waste at the nearby deposits. The New York State Department of Health closes down the elementary school, but for Lois and nearly 700 of her neighbors, this just isn't enough. Lois begins a loud and aggressive movement to force the United States Government to relocate the residents of Love Canal, and to reimburse them for the loss of their property. Robert Gunton co-stars as Lois' husband, who faces unemployment as the result of his wife's refusal to sit down and be quiet. Written for television by Michael Zagor, Lois Gibbs & the Love Canal had its broadcast premiere on February 17, 1982. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Only When I Laugh
Playwright Neil Simon made one of his periodic forays into serious themes with the drama The Gingerbread Lady, and while this screen adaptation adds a bit more wit to the proceedings, it remains a change of pace from his usual breezy comedies. Georgia (Marsha Mason) is a successful actress who has just spent 90 days in a rehab clinic in an effort to beat her addiction to alcohol. A number of crises are waiting for Georgia upon her return; her teenage daughter Polly (Kristy McNichol), whom she neglected as a child, wants to move back in, though they still have a ways to go in repairing their relationship. And her ex-husband David (David Dukes), a writer, has just penned a new drama that he wants her to star in -- a fictionalized version of their often-combative marriage. Georgia also has to tend to her best friends, bitter socialite Toby (Joan Hackett) and Jimmy (James Coco), a gay actor who drowns his sorrows in food. Only When I Laugh garnered Oscar nominations for Mason, Coco, and Hackett, while the latter won a Golden Globe for her performance. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Chapter Two
Neil Simon's bright, autobiographical romantic comedy, a big Broadway success, has been adapted to the screen in a screenplay by Simon, directed by Robert Moore, that subtly shifts the emphasis from the play. In the stage version, recently widowed writer George Schneider (James Caan) and his efforts to form a new relationship after years of marriage, was the crux of the story. The film, however, reduces George's role and, instead, emphasizes the character of Jennie MacLaine (Marsha Mason), the actress being wooed by George. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Is Everybody Happy But Me?
Produced in 1979 by Sandler Institutional Films and aired on television in 1981, the documentary special Is Everybody Happy But Me? finds character actor Roscoe Lee Browne (Soap) leading an exploration of happiness, one of the most cherished but elusive of all human emotions. The program opens with a series of insights from people in various walks of life offering candid but very different answers about what happiness means to them - from a Parisian fashion model who defines happiness as "lunch at Maxim's," to the actress Marsha Mason (Only When I Laugh, who found happiness through the teachings of the Indian swami Baba Muktunanda. The program then attempts to cut through the hype promulgated by popular self-help books by teaching the audience proven and assured methods for finding inner peace-of-mind. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Promises in the Dark
This is a tragic tale of the slow degeneration of a cancer patient that is filled with pathos and sorrow. Buffy Koenig (Kathleen Beller) is terminally ill with cancer and for the two-hour running time, she goes through several surgical procedures, suffers all the devastating side effects of chemotherapy, and gets unrelentingly worse. Her doctor (Marsha Mason) has a certain amount of conflict herself, but that is nothing compared to the young patient's distraught parents (Ned Beatty and Susan Clark) or her grief-stricken boyfriend (Paul Clemens). ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Spoofing the entire 1940s detective genre, and his own performances as a bumbling private detective, Peter Falk plays Lou Pekinpaugh, a San Francisco private detective accused of murdering his partner at the instigation of his mistress, the partner's wife, Georgia Merkle (Marsha Mason). Police Lieutenant DiMaggio (Vic Tayback) has his eye on Lou and blunders around in a way which complicates Lou's efforts to clear his name. Lou gets a new client when Mrs. Montenegro (Madeline Kahn) and her cronies (John Housman, Paul Williams and Dom DeLuise) hire him to search out a dozen diamond eggs. Marlene DuChard (Louise Fletcher) also comes to him for help of a complicated nature. In this madcap comedy written by Neil Simon, obstacles and complications appear every few minutes, and a great many famous actors show up in hilarious cameos. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Audrey Rose is a "thinking man's" horror film, which in a way is unfortunate, since it tended to be ignored amidst the many spell-it-all-out scarefests of the late '70s. Marsha Mason and John Beck play Janice and Bill Templeton, a happily married couple, the parents of well-adjusted preteen Ivy (Susan Swift). Their family security is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Elliot Hoover (Anthony Hopkins). At first mistaken for a potential child molester, Hoover explains that his obsessive interest in young Ivy is actually paternal. It is Hoover's contention that their daughter is the reincarnation of his own child, who died in a horrible accident. This information is dismissed out of hand-and then strange things begin happening. Directed by Robert Wise (who had previously helmed the psychological thriller The Haunting), Audrey Rose was adapted by co-producer Frank de Felitta from his own novel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Marsha Mason is known as "The Goodbye Girl" because of all the live-in boyfriends who have said ta-ta to her in the past few years. A former Broadway chorus dancer, the divorced Mason lives in the Manhattan apartment of her latest lost love with her daughter Quinn Cummings. Enter arrogant actor Richard Dreyfuss, who has subleased the apartment from Mason's former boyfriend and moves in bag and baggage in the middle of the night. Dreyfuss and Mason spend the next few weeks getting in each other's way and fighting like cats and dogs. The wind is taken out of Dreyfuss' sails when he opens in a production of Richard III, which has been sabotaged by the director (Paul Benjamin), who insists that Dreyfuss portrays Richard as a hip-swinging homosexual. The play closes after one performance, and the once-overconfident Dreyfuss goes on a self-pitying drunken binge. Touched by his vulnerability, Mason begins falling in love with Dreyfuss despite her lousy track record with men. Richard Dreyfuss became the youngest ever "Best Actor" Oscar winner as a result of his performance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Blume in Love

In the Los Angeles of yoga, therapy, and well-off liberals, a divorcé decides that his ex-wife is the love of his life in Paul Mazursky's romantic comedy. Beverly Hills divorce lawyer Stephen Blume (George Segal) becomes his own client when his social worker wife Nina (Susan Anspach) throws him out for sleeping with his secretary. Only then does Blume realize that he can't live without Nina, even though she seems fine without him, and he has a new sex partner in divorcée Arlene (Marsha Mason). So what does he do to win Nina back? Befriend her laid-back musician beau, Elmo (Kris Kristofferson), show up at her house with breakfast bagels, eavesdrop on her therapy sessions, and forcibly impregnate her, of course. Banished to their former honeymoon site in Venice, Italy while Nina thinks things over, Blume reflects on his past and his obsession, as he dreamily hopes for the best. Cutting between Blume's musings on love and loss in Venice's Piazza San Marco and the events in L.A. that brought him there, Mazursky humorously yet sharply dissects the complications of marriage in the let-it-all-hang-out Me Decade of the 1970s. Blume and Nina face the same dilemma as the couples in Mazursky's 1969 hit Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice: how to mesh traditional vows with the new freedom and its temptations. In this case, it takes a divorce to convince the solipsistic Blume that the woman he wants most is his own wife. Considered by some critics one of the decade's best interrogations of contemporary coupledom, Blume in Love astutely captured the absurdity of Blume's self-involved romantic quest, while slyly celebrating the operatic spirit of love that drives him. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

A "Cinderella Liberty" is Navy jargon for a pass that runs out at midnight. Sailor John Baggs, Jr. (James Caan) has such a pass, and intends to make the most of it while his ship is docked in Seattle. He "wins" prostitute Maggie (Marsha Mason) in a pool game, but backs off at a "wham-bam-thank you ma'am" when he finds out that Maggie has a son, an 11-year-old mulatto (Kirk Calloway) -- and that there's another baby on the way. John has so much empathy for Maggie's travails that he marries her. When she loses her baby, however, Maggie feels unable to resign herself to living with John, plagued by both guilt and an unwillingness to be tied down -- thus forcing John to fight for her. Darryl Ponicsan adapted his own novel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Arthur Don Pasquale proves to be another feather in the cap for this small but innovative and determined summer opera company with a secret. Review by Paul Wolowski - OperaonLine.us Cape Cod Opera's production of Donizetti's Don Pasquale came off just as they promised: fast and fun. Excerpted review by Susan Blood - Inside Out Cape Cod: For people new to the opera, it was an easily understood introduction. For people who have seen Don Pasquale (it's one of the most frequently presented operas in the comic repertoire), it was an innovative refresher. The most unusual thing they did was to take the accompaniment out of the pit and put it in the middle of the stage. Instead of an orchestra, the singers were accompanied by a pianist - who became part of the cast. Sam was Musical Director and accompanist, Dr. Matthew Larson. With the piano in the center of the stage, Larson came off as part of the Pasquale household, playing familiar tunes (La Vie en Rose, Mack the Knife, etc.) while the domestic staff, collectively and comically referred to as Jefferson, went about their business. Pasquale bantered with the pianist, starting with don't play that again, Sam and Stop! I don't care how many degrees you have . A quick google search shows that Larson serves on the faculty at Boston University, and is pianist for the Boston Symphony Chorus and Vocal Coach for Brown University and Walnut Hill School for the Arts. This company doesn't mess around when it hires talent. Sarah Callinan is nothing short of grand in her role as Norina. She is glamorous, with a stunning voice and stage presence.................................................... Adrian Smith was an especially sympathetic Pasquale, with just the right amount of bluster. ................. As Dr. Malatesta, Paul Soper stole nearly every scene he was in....................... Christopher Lucier was a young and vulnerable Ernesto. I couldn't help feeling a little worried for him, Norina's a handful. And RaShaun Campbell was hilarious. He didn't have nearly enough to sing, but his characters were unforgettable, adding laugh-out-loud moments throughout the opera. I have to admit, I was a little leery of a nip-and-tucked version of the opera. I like my opera on the grand side. But this company is to opera what ikebana is to flower arranging. It's so tight and perfect, you don't miss all the ribbons and fluff. What Cape Cod Opera has done here is create a Don Pasquale that is completely unique to the company and the Cape. In short, the company has made a new niche for itself, presenting ephemeral, can't-miss opera. Artistic Director David McCarty seems to be following Cape Cod Symphony's model of programming concerts that are so unique, you are very unlikely to see them anywhere else.

Arthur Guest Conductor/Chorus Master - Christopher McMullen Laird Musical Accompaniment Lucy Banner - Piano Mark Prall - Percussion Ira Schaefer - Bass Cape Cod Opera has once again delivered a solid, professional looking production, bolstered by a superb cast, a solid chorus and a nicely toned musical ensemble that, though small in number, brings with it a sound that is full and superbly balanced for the task. Cape Cod Opera has wrapped up its performances for the season with this production, and as I have in the past, I recommend to those who enjoy live theater to give this worthwhile company a look next time you're on the Cape. I suspect you will be pleasantly surprised. ..............OperaOnline 'Merry Widow' a lively production
A final note: More people should take up Cape Cod Opera on its offer of student-priced tickets. How do you know if your child will like opera? You don't, but with $15 student tickets, dancing girls, a mostly spoken story line and great costumes, this would have been a good way to find out. It's not, after all, the Ring Cycle.

Arthur Music Director/Orchestra Conductor - John Yankee Resident Music Director - Lucy Banner Stage Directors Note: For me, Così Fan Tutte is a timeless gem as perfect as a delicious summer supper with all the very best of ingredients. A gorgeous score by Mozart matching a humorous libretto by Da Ponte that although light, still raises some of the questions and obstacles those seeking relationships can be asked to navigate. Physical attraction, love, commitment, temptation, fidelity, trust, honesty and communications between two people are the "lessons" we learn along the way. With a splendid cast of talented American singers, it seemed logical to perform this piece in English as well as update it and set it in a time in our country's history that evoked a change in the very culture of male/female relationships, To me, the mid to late 1920's seemed a perfect fit both culturally and stylistically speaking. Enjoy these photos of Così fan Tutte dress rehearsal of Friday August 14th, 2009.

This diet received high marks for safety and nutritional completeness. While this is more of an eating plan than a structured diet, folks can follow the Asian Food Pyramid for guidance. It stacks whole grains, like rice and noodles toward the bottom, with fruits, veggies, legumes, seeds and nuts directly above, and eventually meat at the very tip.

Air Force Concludes Competition at Season-Opening Cowboy Open
Nov. 15, 2008 LARAMIE, Wyo. - Led by placewinners Karl Oeser (Fr., Wichita, Kan.) and Stephen Crozier (Sr., Monona, Iowa), the Air Force wrestling team opened the 2008-09 season Saturday at the Cowboy Open, hosted by Wyoming. Oeser, competing in the Amateur Division, finished second at 184 pounds, while Crozier placed fourth in the Elite Division at 165 pounds. Oeser compiled a 3-1 record to open up his collegiate career. The day started with a pair of one-point decisions, as Oeser defeated Wyoming's Michael Paulos, 3-2, and Nebraska-Kearney's Nick Bauman, 2-1. Oeser then picked up his first fall, pinning Mike Ross in a time of 4:32 to move into the championship bout. Unfortunately, Oeser's run ended there, as he dropped a 13-2 major decision to L.J. Helbig of Wyoming. Crozier, one of the Falcons' returning NCAA qualifers, also started the day out strong, defeating Chadron State's Willy Jones, 11-5, before recording a 20-4 technical fall over Justin Gardner of the University of Great Falls. Crozier then dropped a 4-1 decision to eventual champion Nick Amuchastegui of Stanford. In the third-place match-up, Crozier came up short in an 8-5 loss to Wyoming's Eric Coxbill. Sophomore Derek Gillespie (Chesapeake, Va.), wrestling in the Elite Division at 133 pounds, also won three bouts on the day, defeating Chris Saykally of Colorado School of Mines in a 15-5 major decision and unattached Casey Cruz (10-6) and Vitaly Ivaschenko (15-9), while dropping a pair of bouts to Chadron State's Jimmy Savala. Meanwhile, eight other wrestlers picked up two wins each for Air Force, including Samuel Sheppard (Jr., Ramstein AB, Germany), Stephen Makuka (Jr., Columbus, N.J.), Joseph Stafford (So., Loomis, Calif.) and Tyler French (Jr., Malta, Mont.) in the Elite Division and Wade Stowe (So., The Colony, Texas), Michael Erickson (Jr., Springfield, Va.), Alex Flori (So., Eagle River, Alaska) and Kazden Ikehara (So., Mililani, Hawaii) in the Amateur Division.
The Falcons return to action next weekend, Nov. 22, when they head to the Kaufman-Brand Open, hosted by Nebraska-Omaha. |

This watch was given to me as a gift about three months ago. I use it almost everyday. I was very happy with this watch until the chrome plating on the underside of the watch started pitting away. It literally looks like microscopic craters where the chrome plating has fallen off exposing a disgusting brass like material underneath it.
Now if I work outside and break a sweat walking the trails, the watch will leave green marks on my wrist. :(
Timex, I really love you guys... I really do... You have always supplied me with highly durable watches through the years, but this happening after 3 months of use is unacceptable. My friend has the same watch only in the "bone" color and it too is now doing the same exact thing..comfortable, easy to read, stylish, Worn all the timeAppearance, weak metal finish causing wrists to turn green.Generally, you guys build some kickass wristwatches. This has been the first watch I have ever had a problem with.

I have had this watch for several months and have been happy with it. (No problems with a green wrist) I love the appearance of the face. It was a bit heavier than I expected and a bit larger but all in all I am very happy with my purchace..comfortable, easy to read, Rugged, stylish, Worn all the time, appearanceI am only rating Timex with a 7 because as much as like Timex watches they do not last long. My usual life expectancy is about 1 year.

I bought this watch last year with the white band in December and I loved it. It was my favorite watch. However, just two weeks ago the date suddenly stopped working. Less than a year after I got it. I was disappointed, but really loved the watch so I decided to get the blue strap version to replace it. This one appears to have problems, too -- the date is off-center and the crown does not easily move to the middle position. I don't know what to do at this point. I'm stuck with two of these watches that don't function properly..stylish, comfortable, Worn all the time, Battery life, easy to readQuality, date stopped working after 1 year, date off centerYou guys have a great reputation; I hope you can give me some advice as far as what to do.

This is a great style for everyday use either more business like or very casual. The waterproof leather strap is great. The back light is very nice.
