Customer comments about Galbraith & Paul Herringbone 18sq Black Pillow:
I have been looking for the right pillow to update my sofas and finally found these. To my surprise, the herringbone black pillows work well in both my living rooms. One living room is contemporary with a blue microfiber sofa and in the other living room is a modern sofa in tan and one in a warm orange color. The pillows help give the space a stylish update. I paired the herringbone with a sheepskin in stone. Although, it's more than I wanted to spend, it was worth the splurge.

Should Marijuana Use Be Legalized? >
There Are Smarter Ways to Deal With Marijuana Than Legalization
We have other options besides legalization or strict enforcement
October 30, 2012
Because marijuana legalization would expose us to unknown risk—and because there are better options than both "let 'em use" or "lock 'em up"—I join both major presidential candidates and the American Medical Association in opposing marijuana legalization. It is a reckless policy option. But that does not mean we have to be content with the status quo either. There are smarter ways to deal with marijuana than either extreme.
According to the nonpartisan RAND Corporation, legalization would greatly reduce the price of marijuana, thereby significantly increasing use, especially among kids. This is a problem because the brain is developing until age 25, and recently completed research shows that pot can significantly decrease IQ, double the risk of a car crash (according to the most exhaustive review ever undertaken on the matter), and significantly increase the chance of contracting a mental illness. Today's marijuana is not the same stuff parents think back today with nostalgia about—in fact it is about 4-5 times stronger in potency.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should Welfare Recipients Be Tested for Drugs?]
Even the supposed benefits of legalization may not pan out. Ironically, under legalization, we could see arrest rates for marijuana actually increase, similar to what we see with alcohol (there are 2.7 million arrests a year for alcohol versus 800,000 for marijuana), as more users drive high or violate marijuana growing and using laws. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the underground market would significantly diminish. In a legal market, where marijuana is taxed, the well-established illegal drug trade has every incentive to remain. Today's thriving underground market for tobacco is a good example of this. The drug trade is so profitable that even undercutting the taxed price would leave cartels with a handsome profit. Marijuana legalization would also do nothing to loosen the cartels' grip on other illegal trades such human trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, piracy, and other illicit drugs (marijuana accounts for a minority of revenues gained by drug trafficking groups). Producing marijuana en masse at home is also much easier to do than with tobacco or alcohol. We can expect a thriving grey market.
But these facts do not mean we need to go overboard in our approach. Low-level marijuana users should not be imprisoned for their use, and former users with an arrest record should not be prevented from getting a job or accessing social benefits. In fact, isolating those with an arrest record can be counterproductive, increasing their interaction with the illicit economy. We need to have a sane conversation about marijuana arrests among disadvantaged communities, too, to ensure equal justice under the law.
[See a collection of political cartoons on healthcare.]
The good news is that we have more choices than merely enforcement or legalization. We can get smarter about our marijuana policy without throwing the next generation under the bus. Before they become the guinea pigs for a risky policy experiment, voters in Washington, Colorado, and Oregon would do well to remember that.

InsureMe-On-Line is a leading provider of life insurance in the UK.
Life insurance is one of the simplest insurance concepts on the planet. If you die your family gets paid a cash sum.
Term life insurance is always cheaper than whole of life assurance. This is because term life insurance is for a set period, so if you are still alive at the end of the term, insurers pay nothing.
Whole of life assurance continues until you die whenever that may be.
You do not have to be a maths genius to work out that it is going to cost a lot more to buy a policy where the insurer is certain of paying out, than one where they only have a less than 50/50 chance of paying out.
On the other hand, insurers argue that if you buy term life and are still alive at the end of the policy period you get nothing- but if you buy a whole of life cover you must get a pay out -unless you plan to live forever.
Life cover is taken out to protect your family. To pay off the mortgage, to ensure an income for children, to pay funeral costs. Protecting your family from the financial consequences of an unexpected early death makes sense. Paying large sums of money to insurers to pay out when you inevitably die - may not. The children will be grown up and the mortgage paid off- so is there really any point?
The amount of cover a policy offers can remain level or decrease over time if being used to cover a repayment mortgage or loan, for instance, or can increase along with inflation, or even can be paid as an income.
Unlike health or car insurance, you will not be around to argue your corner at claim time. So it is vital to get the right policy now.
Do not be tempted by cash back, free gifts or special offers.
When considering the term-the number of years you expect to need cover for, considerations should include intended retirement date, when children might become financially independent or when a mortgage or loan is paid off.

Pappenheim the Warlord - Cuirassiers.
Got Monday some TYW miniatures and started work in the night.
The standarte is a conjectural one, attributed by some to Pappenheim. Well, in fact at the time Pappenheim was the famous cavalry leader in 1631/32 few "Cuirassiers" wore the full set. But who would like to play Lützen without the heavies?
On the table they look well near to my old foundry ones. But I would not mix them, style and size is different.

Sure, a week is a great vacation to Hilton Head but a month is even better. Not that you needed any more reasons to visit us, but we've listed 5 of our top reasons to extend your stay at Palmetto Dunes to at least a month:
1) Play unlimited golf! What's better than a round of golf? Unlimited rounds of golf! With our Monthly Golf Membership, you can play all three of our championship Hilton Head golf courses as much as you want for an entire month. Choose between our oceanfront Robert Trent Jones course, the Arthur Hills course or the George Fazio course.
2) Ride your bike on all 50 miles of paved island paths. Did you know you could pedal 50 miles across our island? Spend more than a week and see if you can master it all! With monthly Hilton Head bike rentals from Hilton Head Outfitters, you'll be set with any kind of bike you like, including their new comfort bike, cruisers, kids bikes and more.
3) Get to "love" tennis, if you don't already. When you book your Hilton Head vacation rental through Palmetto Dunes, you get two hours of complimentary tennis court time daily at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. The longer you stay, the more tennis you can play!
4) Kayak to your heart's content! Palmetto Dunes is home to a beautiful and peaceful 11-mile saltwater inland lagoon system that winds throughout the resort and our golf courses. Get weekly kayak or canoe rentals from Hilton Head Outfitters to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the lagoon, or if you plan to stay several months, consider the affordable yearly membership. See how many birds you can spot in the lagoon during your stay and watch for other wildlife, as well, like a friendly otter who likes to splash around our lagoon.
5) Try lots of Hilton Head restaurants. Here on the island we offer wonderful dining from ethic foods to fresh seafood to gourmet meals with beautiful views. Some suggestions include Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers & Pizza restaurant at the Robert Trent Jones Clubhouse, the beachfront Dunes House (open seasonally to resort guests and property owners), Ela's Blu Water Grille with harbour views at Shelter Cove Harbour and San Miguel's Mexican restaurant, also at Shelter Cove.
If you want to do ALL these things on your visit to Palmetto Dunes, consider our Monthly Stay & Sports Membership. It gets you a 30-night stay in a Hilton Head resort villa, 30 days of unlimited golf and bike rentals, two 2-hour kayak rentals and two hours of tennis court time daily, plus plenty of time to walk on the beach.
For more information about any of these memberships or packages, please give us a call at 866-744-7558.
When you visit Hilton Head Island, one thing on your must-do list is ride your bike! The island offers more than 50 miles of paved bike paths, and just within Palmetto Dunes alone there are plenty of places to ride your bike from the beach and the Dunes House open to resort guests to the General Store and Shelter Cove Harbour.
Our very own Hilton Head Outfitters is our resource for all things bike related on the island. They offer Hilton Head bike rentals and bike equipment rentals and can help you navigate the many bike paths within the resort and beyond.
To make it even easier to rent your bikes in Hilton Head, we've created a new program that allows you to rent them right from your mobile phone! You can book your bike literally from anywhere whether you're lying at the beach, playing a round of golf or eating dinner.
There are a variety of options for renting your bike via our mobile program. You can text BIKE to 843-627-0007 to get access to our mobile website; alternately, you can scan a QR code which will be posted on a sign at Hilton Head Outfitters within the resort. Lastly, you can call us at 843-627-0007 or visit the mobile site directly at www.needabike.info. Be sure to bookmark it!
When you arrive at the mobile site, choose the dates you need your bikes and then review your bike choices, which include cruisers, kids' bikes, fat tire sand bikes, tandems and more. From within the mobile program, you can also rent bike equipment, including helmets, baskets, kiddie carts and tag-a-longs.
Simply make your selections, enter your contact and payment information and your bike will be delivered directly to your Hilton Head vacation villa or home on the date requested and picked up on the date of return.
The mobile program also provides Hilton Head bike route maps that you can access while on your bike of both the island bike trails and lagoon bike trails.
We hope you like our new Need a Bike mobile booking option. Try it and let us know what you think!
With the holidays complete and much of the country engulfed in winter weather galore, many people are starting to plan their spring or summer South Carolina beach vacation. This is a good thing :)! When you book early, you get the worm!
We've got 5 reasons why you should book your beach vacation early to make sure you get the most out of your Hilton Head trip:
1) Savings! The first ( and best!) reason to book early is because you will save money. Who could argue with that?! Right now, Palmetto Dunes is offering 20% off Hilton Head vacation homes or villas plus FREE bikes for stays through 3/15/13. If you're coming in summer, get 10% off all Hilton Head vacation rentals for stays 3/15-9/1/13, as well as free tennis! When you book your Hilton Head golf tee time in advance, you can save up to HALF off our regular resort rate. Those savings won't last forever!
2) Take your pick – When you plan ahead of time, you get YOUR pick of Hilton Head vacation homes and Hilton Head golf tee times, as well as for activities such as dolphin cruises, charters, golf and tennis lessons and more.
3) Confirm your reservations – During our peak periods like spring break and the summer months, we often sell out of Hilton Head bike rentals and our most popular tee times and cruise times. By booking now, you can ensure you've got all the activities confirmed that your family would like to do ideally at the times you want to do them.
4) Time to plan – Want to take a day trip to Daufuskie Island or down to Savannah, planning to meet your friends from across the country for dinner, not sure whether to drive or fly? Planning now lets you take your time working out all the fine details, lets you research the most cost-saving options and ensures you've thoroughly looked into all the options and picked the right ones for your group.
5) Time to dream! – Of course, a big benefit of booking early is plenty of time to dream about your Hilton Head vacation. Snow piling outside the window? No worries! You'll be in Hilton Head this spring or summer and it will all melt away. If winter's really got you down, take a look at our webcams to give you a little pep in your step. Your vacation will be here before you know it!
Can we help you plan your spring or summer Hilton Head vacation? Call us today at 866-744-7558 and we'll make sure you start the planning process early, get the best Hilton Head vacation villa for your needs, reserve plenty of bikes and get in all the activities your family wants to do at the time you want to do them. See you soon!
It's New Year's so we're guessing you've probably made a few new year's resolutions for 2013. Health is always at the top of the resolution list so we wanted to encourage you to come on down to Hilton Head and get healthy with a beautiful view!
Here are 5 healthy activities you can do at Palmetto Dunes to support those new year's resolutions so they don't get left in the dust:
1) Walk the golf course – We offer three beautiful championship Hilton Head golf courses, each unique and challenging in its own way. When you play one of our courses, instead of opting for the cart, why not walk the course? You'll burn some extra calories, do your heart some good and more thoroughly enjoy your beautiful surroundings. It might even give you some more quality time with your golfing buddies!
2) Bike the resort – There are many paved paths throughout Palmetto Dunes, and the streets within the resort are also bike friendly. Everyone knows a good bike ride is a great workout, plus you're more apt to forget you're exercising as you take in the lovely views at every turn. Instead of driving to Shelter Cove Harbour to shop or dine, why not hop on a bike using our special passageway that lets you avoid crossing Highway 278? We offer Hilton Head bike rentals at Hilton Head Outfitters for everyone in the family.
3) Try a Zike Bike! Sure, biking is great on its own, but using this unique bike, you'll get even more of a workout. The Zike Bike is designed as a cross between a bike and an elliptical machine. You use the elliptical movement to power the bike and work your body even harder. Visit Hilton Head Outfitters to try one or rent one on your Hilton Head vacation.
4) Fall in "love" with tennis – When you book a Hilton Head vacation home or Hilton Head vacation villa with Palmetto Dunes, you get two free hours of tennis daily. Be sure to take advantage of that court time to get in a great tennis workout. If you'd like a little more structure, head over to our Hilton Head tennis academy for a variety of lessons, clinics and even a Cardio Tennis class.
5) Paddleboard our lagoon – Pick a sunny winter afternoon and head out on our 11-mile inland lagoon to try the fastest growing watersport, paddleboarding. When paddleboarding, you stand on a board similar to a surf board and use a paddle to navigate your way through the lagoon. The balance and core work required is like no other! Expect washboard abs if you do this sport regularly :).
What's your favorite way to be healthy at Palmetto Dunes? Please share with us your new year's resolutions and we'll suggest some ways we can support them here at the beach. If we can help you plan activities or a vacation to our beautiful resort, please give us a call at 866-744-7558. Happy New Year's!

Bedtime story: Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper) and his wife, Dora (Zoe Saldana)
As literary dramas go, The Words is revealed to be of a weight more appropriate to a magazine stand at the airport than the classics section of a library.
The film, written and directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal, has good intentions but is undermined by superficiality, despite three layers of storytelling.
The outermost narrative involves celebrated author Clay Hammond (Dennis Quaid), who reads excerpts from his latest book for an enthusiastic audience at a reception. Most ardent of all: Daniella (Olivia Wilde), a gorgeous fellow writer who knows everything about Clay, as she informs him over a drink.
More screen time is devoted to adapting the story being read — which features Hangover star Bradley Cooper as Rory Jansen, an author experiencing the first flush of career success for a new period novel after years of rejection from publishers.
Yet, in truth, he found the manuscript by chance in an old briefcase bought for him by his wife (Zoe Saldana) on their Paris honeymoon and passed it off as his own.
Not long after the novel becomes a hit, the actual author — identified only as "the Old Man"
(Jeremy Irons) — arrives to tell the story behind the discovery and exact an unusual form of
punishment for the theft.
As the film moves among the three tales, Klugman and Sternthal seem to be
building to a stunning third-act revelation. But there is little surprise in what happens, and
whatever can't be seen coming fails to elicit any awe.
The letdown can't be blamed on the cast. Cooper handles his tortured,
occasionally teary role with relative ease, and Saldana gives genuine warmth to a limited part.
As the Old Man, Irons lends the film gravitas, and his character's bitterness
roughs up a few of its too-tidy edges.
Instead, the fault rests in the inexperienced, indelicate hands of first-time
They create a sense of inevitability instead of momentum, so whatever intrigue
arises is overwhelmed by a wish that all of the stories would just wrap it up already.

Donald Kohn, former vice chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, speaks to attendees at a macro policy discussion during the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group Spring Meetings in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, April 17, 2013. As much as 20 percent of non-bank corporate debt in the weakest euro-area economies is unsustainable and may force companies to cut dividends and sell assets, dealing further blows to investor confidence, the IMF said.

Radio vendors question Iowa requests for bids
DES MOINES (AP) — Nearly two years after questions first arose about the way Iowa asked for bids on law enforcement radios, some vendors are still complaining.
At the heart of the dispute is the question of whether the state is trying to set up the bidding process to favor Motorola radio and make it impossible for other radios to be chosen, as some vendors believe.
The Des Moines Register reported the contract would be worth about $7.5 million because Iowa wants to purchase radio equipment for the State Patrol and the Departments of Natural Resources and Corrections.

I've actually 2 questions.
The first one, simplier: is it still possible to create filter manyally with a boolean string or we have to use the filter tool (the form it comes out when you create or modify a filter).
Second one: I've a filter which puts all messages coming from "email@example.com"
in a "work"
folder. Let's call it WORKFILTER
. Great, it works!
I want to put some of them in a subfolder "work/subfolder1"
but NOT to give them the "work"
label. (only work/subfolder label).
Is it possible to do that ONLY with a second filter (let's call that SUBFOLDERFILTER
) in which I declare to archive the message coming from "firstname.lastname@example.com"
with the label "work/subfolder1"
but NOT with "work"
something like:
from:(email@example.com) label:"work/subfolder1" AND NOT(label:"work")
Or I forcely have to modify the WORKFILTER
specifying to archive in "work"
folder all the message coming from "firstname.lastname@example.com"
BUT NOT the ones coming from "firstname.lastname@example.com"

Read stories about programs CAEL has designed and implemented for adult students.
CHALLENGE: Most Americans do not go from high school to college and leave four years later with a degree. Life gets in the way. Some start college but never finish; others can never afford the time or money to even start. Still others simply weren't ready, or went into the military, or didn't know what to do. Years later, these people have a tremendous amount of life experience, but no degree to prove what they know to potential employers. These learners need to complete their degrees to be successful. RESPONSE: CAEL built LearningCounts.org, which provides: Advice from a College Credit Specialist Students talk about their background and interests, and together, determine the fastest and most affordable path to finish their degree. Enroll in a Course Our online portfolio courses help students learn how to demonstrate the college-level learning they acquired through work, volunteering or military service. We offer instructor-led and do-it-yourself courses. Portfolio Development and Assessment Using what they have learned in our courses, they create an online knowledge portfolio that matches their knowledge and experience to college-equivalent courses. Once they have completed their online portfolio, a member of our expert faculty assesses the portfolio and recommends it for college credit. Students can earn up to 12 undergraduate credit hours for each portfolio they submit. Predict Potential to Earn College Credit Students can also use the prior learning credit predictor for free to estimate how many college credits they may be able to earn. Transfer Credit Recommendations CAEL is now partnering with universities to directly award college credit based on its LearningCounts assessments of knowledge learned outside the classroom. Alamo Colleges, Bellevue University, the Indiana Institute of Technology, the New England College of Business, North Iowa Area Community College, Roosevelt University and Southern New Hampshire University have already signed on to the new process, which will streamline the credit acceptance and reduce transcription costs for students. COLLABORATORS: An advisory group of Prior Learning Assessment theorists and practitioners from a wide variety of institutions helped launch LearningCounts.org. LearningCounts Partner colleges have made it a reality for their students and other learners. "No one in the world of Prior Learning Assessment is more respected than CAEL and SNHU is happy to accept CAEL's credit recommendations directly. They are the experts. They have unassailable integrity and an unmatched track record of almost 40 years in this area. They invented PLA." - Paul LeBlanc, President, Southern New Hampshire University
Jill Powell talks about LearningCounts.org

CHALLENGE: The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce reports that the U.S. will need 22 million new college degrees by 2018 — but will fall short of that number by at least 3 million postsecondary degrees, associates or better. The U.S. will also need at least 4.7 million new workers with postsecondary certificates. RESPONSE: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has introduced and endorsed Complete the Degree; a free service, led by local non-profits with a commitment to educational success. With a broad network of partners and participating universities to provide additional support, direction and resources; Complete the Degree ensures a collaborative and thorough strategy in helping adults return to college. For those who have previously attended college and earned some college credits, Complete the Degree services are free and include the following:
One-on-one planning and personalized guidance Support in getting credit for previous education and life experience Guidance with scholarship, grant and loan applications Assistance with the college application process and re-enrollment Advice and support accessing financial aid resources Guidance with the student loan rehabilitation process and default issues Academic support and skill development Information about Chicago-area colleges and universities and select programs
There is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" roadmap to college completion. Complete the Degree advisors will work with you one-on-one, providing a customized plan and consistent support as you take on the challenges of managing adult responsibilities while completing college courses. Whether you have just a handful of college credits or you are only a few classes away from graduating, Complete the Degree will help you get back on track to complete your degree.
CHALLENGE: State policymakers care now, perhaps more than ever before, about the educational attainment of their states' working populations. They also care about the responsiveness of educational systems in their states to the needs of adult learners. But relatively few have the data they need to understand how their states are doing in developing and educating its citizens. RESPONSE: CAEL teamed with the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) to provide states with the information needed to assess state performance on adult learning and identify where to direct future strategies. The comprehensive report outlines the state of adult learning in the U.S. It also includes state-by-state comparisons across multiple areas, a two-page profile of adult learners in each state, and a policy guide for state education leaders and policy makers. This project has been funded by a generous grant from Lumina Foundation for Education. Click on the links below to see a two-page profile of adult learners in your state: Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming

Survey of protocols for the manual segmentation of the hippocampus: preparatory steps towards a joint EADC-ADNI harmonized protocol. J Alzheimers Dis. 2011;26 Suppl 3:61-75. PubMed Abstract
A necessary step for development of an automated method that uses a standardized protocol is, of course, that the scientific community agrees on such a protocol. This is also where I see the importance of the Frisoni/Jack project—it is a great approach for getting such a consensus around a segmentation protocol. In addition, the project will generate hippocampal masks that will be used for development of automated methods. The project will also generate gold standard data against which automated methods can be validated. View all comments by Lennart Thurfjell
Pro primum, I see no need to harmonize hippocampal volumes. Since 1988, when hippocampal atrophy in AD was first presented, there has been no need for such harmony. Hundreds of studies have been published, without harmonization, and a great deal of those studies are perfectly good. Pro secundum, creating a universal hippocampal size is doomed to fail from the very beginning.
Picture this—if I needed to draw hippocampal volumes, I would not compare the volumes from a control pool of mine, or such, or use prior volumes as a reference volume.

Picture this—if I needed to draw hippocampal volumes, I would not compare the volumes from a control pool of mine, or such, or use prior volumes as a reference volume. I would measure patients and controls at the same time. This is because estimates of hippocampal volumes change even among raters over time. The first hippocampal volumes I measured—way back when—were quite a bit larger than later ones. Volumes need to be measured by one person and one person only. Even for a given rater, controls may need to be retraced after a certain period of time, because the volumes may be dynamic. That is, comparing hippocampal volumes to those one drew, say, a year ago, introduces error. In fact, in my opinion, there is no harmony even with one rater. If hippocampal voumes I drew at time 1 and time 2 are out of tune, i.e., not in harmony, how can there be harmony among two or more raters? The hippocampal volume measured by two or more raters results in a fatal error.
Also, there can be no universal hippocampal volume, because the hippocampal size is subject to the size of a person. By this token, the Dutch, who are the tallest population in the world, should have the largest volumes. Eastern races, being shorter, should have smaller volumes. Women—being shorter than most men—have smaller volumes. Then there are a number of other factors to consider: the usual drift, the scanner, the imaging parametres, the alignment, the software used for imaging—i.e., the measuree, the hardware, the software—and in the end, the rater. And you even need to standardize the measurees, given that we know that at least apolipoprotein E alleles and other known and unknown genetic factors influence the volumes. In a manner of speaking, there is too much noise in the concept of harmonized volumes to provide a signal.
In addition, I believe fully automated methods to measure the hippocampus are not science; they are science fiction. Such is the nature of hippocampal structure that it needs a human rater. A machine won't probably ever detect the hippocampal boundaries. That'll be the day when it does.
Some volumes from the literature (right hippocampus) show that measures are highly variable:
Bhatia et al., 1993: 3,770 +/- 610; Bremner et al., 1995: 1,286 +/- 175; Hasboun et al., 1996: 3,420 +/- 490 to 4,180 +/- 530 (depending on alignment); Reiman et al., 1998: 2,462 +/- 347 to 2,519 +/- 454 (depending on ApoE genotype); Watson et al., 1992: 5,263 +/- 652.
The numbers above display almost a fivefold difference in the volumes, and I'd rate all of them acceptable studies. The study by Watson et al., wich has been cited the most, provides volumes which, in my opinion, are twice their actual size. In the end, what really matters is the outcome of the study. In terms of memory impairment, most often it is either conversion to, or the diagnosis of, dementia. The actual numbers have not the slightest interest value. It is the hit rate which counts.
Finally, it takes less than 10 minutes to measure the hippocampus bilaterally. Maybe a tad more if you have to realign or fine-tune some parameters. Some software may be easier to operate than others. Some computers are faster than others. But there really is no trick to manually grade the hippocampus. So why make a very simple issue so hard? Harmonized volumes don't matter. Several studies have provided a "harmonized" outcome; that, and only the outcomes of the studies, are what matter.

The Tumi Difference
Easy Glide Wheels
Our state-of-the-art in-line wheels incorporate sealed steel ball bearings and are mounted on solid steel axles in custom-designed, shock-absorbing bushings. They roll smoothly and quietly for hundreds of miles.
Omega Closure System®
Tumi's patented closure system significantly reduces the risk of damage to the zipper. The Omega zipper puller is designed to break away from the bag if it becomes caught. The puller, rather than the entire zipper, is then quickly and easily replaced.
FXT Ballistic Nylon®
Tumi was the first to bring ballistic nylon to the consumer market over 30 years ago. Now we have perfected it with our exclusive FXT ballistic fabric, which combines a unique weave and a special coating to make it ultra-tough and virtually abrasion proof.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
Aircraft Grade Aluminum Extension Handle
The tubing of our telescoping handles is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, making them both lightweight and extremely sturdy.
The main compartment of this case is collapsible, allowing for easy storage at home or on the road when storage space is limited.

I ordered a tiny vise drill off ebay [http://www.ebay.com/itm/271028826356...84.m1439.l2649 then go some orthodontic memory wire used for braces 0.020: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320921219155...84.m1439.l2649 I cut the mounts off the frame at the base, removed about a milimeter of the plastic mount pins, drilled the frame and pins then spliced then attached them with the wire and CA. It's been awesome, I've done both my MCPX and Nano this way. It's nice using the memory wire as it always bounces back. I have yet to break a canopy mount. |

As promised...
...here's a picture. The wire goes in about 2 or 3mm to both the frame and the canopy mounts. It's CA'ed to each piece. The canopy mounts stick out the same distance from the frame as they did when the frame was stock.
Cheers! PS I must admit, I didn't think of this myself I was told about this mod by Rich from Airtime RC Products, they're the ones who make the indestructible mcpx and nano skids. He recommended it when I asked if he had plans to make heli frames. He suggested music wire, I didn't feel like buying a whole roll so I ordered the orthodontic wire that has the added benefit of memory. I've since seen memory wire for sale at the local craft shop. |

i fix the pins by putting a small screw into the frame where they pin broke then use heat shrink tube to attach the pin or any small rod to the screw head. I've also heard of cutting the pins in the middle on a new frame and use heat shrink tube to attache the two pieces together makes a flexable mount.

Grip the plastic connector between your thumb and forefinger, then roller the two fingers as if you are trying to touch the two fingernail ends together. This action pushes the battery off the connector with out pulling the wires. |

Finding Home, Step by Step
We stayed on Out of Step Island all night. The air grew cold and the breeze grew colder, but Meg and I just huddled together and talked. We talked about our lives, and our futures, and our dreams. We talked about fears and sad moments. We talked about loneliness and regret. We talked about moments of joy so powerful you feel that you could grab the whole universe in a giant hug.
I don't think I've ever really talked with someone like that before. Journalism tends to attract strange people — people who want to see what's going on everywhere and tell the world everything, but who don't know how to bridge that gulf between people. It's easy being an interviewer talking to an interviewee. It's a lot harder and more confusing sharing secret thoughts with a friend.
I couldn't talk that way with Eliza. To me, Eliza was a goal, like getting an interview with the President or winning a Pulitzer. But my musings during Meeting and every day since then have shown me that I never really got to know her. Not the way I'm getting to know Meg.
Funny thing about a relationship. Just looking at the other person and drooling isn't enough. You have to listen, and open up, and make yourself vulnerable as hell. It's painful in a strangely wonderful way.
You also learn things that have been staring you in the face all along. I learned that Meg is far more attractive than she seems at first. I know it's funny to say that, but it's true. There's a peace and a charm and a depth to her that emerges only after the viewer grows up a little bit. I also learned that Meg has plans to succeed her father as president of GSI, which could make the future pretty interesting.
In addition, I learned that Meg has been paying attention to me far more closely than I had ever thought. At one point, in the depth of the night, I got to wondering how she knew so much about Eliza and the situation in The Village. I mean, she says she had never been there until the referendum. So I asked her, and she hit me with a big, sturdy chunk of The Obvious.
"I'm Gemstone, silly," she said with her wicked grin. "You never figured that out? Gem is Meg spelled backward."
In my own defense, I have pointed out several times in this blog that I'm an idiot. Now I'm going to have to read all my back blog entries to see what she wrote to me. I'm sure it will take on a whole new set of meanings. I'm also going to enjoy finding out just how interesting and crafty Meg can be.
When we returned to Town, I scurried off to file my column — way the hell late, I know, but Kate the Great Fisher had no way to reach me on Out of Step Island — and then I went back to The Stump to write this one. I took a long nap first, though, and then I cracked open a warm beer and sat on the hood of the Island Car, trying to think of something to write.
I wasn't sure what I would say. Would this column be about Meg? About the Nation of Grand Seal Island? About the rapidly impending end of a wild and bizarre summer?
I still don't know. I'm just writing.
The Referendum Rally ended quietly. The Village People all headed south shortly after they realized that Archie was going to talk all night long. We all anticipate a lot of wrangling with Washington and Ottawa, probably with more visits by rusting warships and obese veterans, but I think Henry's ready to stand his ground, and I doubt that either Superpower wants to push this issue to bloodshed. I suspect that the great nation of Grand Seal Island will simply be allowed to exist on its own, out of the way and out of mind. That's the way this island has existed for decades, and our newfound status as a walk-on player on the world stage won't really alter things that much.
So in some ways, the world is back the way it should be, with the Townspeople doing Town Things up north, and the Villagepeople doing Village Things down south. And me — I'm stuck in the middle for one more night. I've done a lot of thinking, and I've talked a lot of things through with Meg. I never knew it before, but I do my best thinking when I'm talking with someone who cares.
I climbed down from the Island Car and poked inside The Stump. Small chunks of rotting wood filtered down through the damp air as I fished out my CD player and popped in some fresh batteries. I fired up my Garrett Jones CD — the "Blue Dog Diner" — and I sang along with the lyrics until I fell asleep on the bed.
Tomorrow, I'll write my last blog entry for The Sun.
— Donovan Graham, "The Shadowless Writer"
Comment — Gemstone: Evidently, Sherlock Holmes has nothing to fear. ; )
Comment — SunTanDude: Van, man. Even I knew that was Meg. Where was your head, man?

I think it is very important that the new version DOES NOT allow the user to sign in with the same ID from different locations. If I sign in from my office and forget to sign out, I should be logged out from my office comp the moment I sign in from home. The way Skype handles simultaneous logins is very primitive. Please consider this. Thanks!

Will this beta version of Skype work on Windows Vista?
justinrossetti said 6 years ago
I disagree with, aniruddhamallik.
Many logins is very important. It is why I use Skype.
My wife can pick up the phone at home, or I can pick up the phone at work. Same number.
I have 5 computers at home, they all ring at once.
Making a single login would alienate a lot of users.
(but Skype knew that!) hehe
raul.liive said 6 years ago
Robert it should work fine on Windows Vista.
Multiple logins are good for power users. I'm on the same time logged in from my PC, Pocket PC and Embedded phone for example.
dtaraxis said 6 years ago
Tell me I use skype to call land lines and esp in business hour there is often difficulty in using the lint due to delay or poor sound. What can I do to improve the situation?
mantiev said 6 years ago
Definitely KEEP the multiple login ability, please. In fact I'm not sure you would / could even disable this?
As it stands I have Skype running on my PC at the same time as my Skype phone(s), sometimes my laptop too. All ring around the house (I work from home) which is very cool.
evgeny.drumachik said 6 years ago
Hi, everybody!
I think multiple logins feature should remain, but let's put it into the options. So, it will be enabled by default, but user can switch it off if he think it is necessary.
This is about privacy. Multiple logins makes the system unreliable in sence that somebody, once learned your password, can just login from his computer and track all the chats you're doing! And you will never know about it! -

Thanks for the progress. A few features to consider:
1. an auto log-in / log-out feature. E.G. log in at 06h00 and out at 22h00 sending all to voice mail/don't disturb/unavailable out of these hrs.
2. CLI – PLEASE organize this feature for Australia (and other countries). I am still dumbfounded as to why this has not included and at least gives either a reason why and when it will be avail. -

Totally agree with evgeny.drumachik.
Hey, people that make skype, i really appreciate your work. But it would be VERY VERY useful for some people to have the possibility to disable the multiple computer logins. it's the time already, the 4th version is almost ready for use… -
