The Chinese government is retreating from a controversial requirement that every PC sold in the country be equipped with Internet filtering software.
On the eve of a July 1 deadline for compliance, the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) today delayed implementation indefinitely to give computer-makers more time to comply, the Xinhua News Agency reports.
Computer makers had protested that installing the software, called Green Dam Youth-Escort, might expose them to liability if the Chinese government uses the software to invade its citizens' privacy. The U.S. government sent a letter to Chinese officials complaining that computer makers were given virtually no notice of the mandate ahead of time, possibly violating World Trade Organization (WTO) rules. Others complained the software could be used by the Chinese government to censor political material—not just pornography.
Early this month, MIIT decreed that all new computers sold in the country come with Web-filtering software either installed on the hard drive or packaged as a separate compact disk. The MIIT claimed to have initiated the policy "in response to calls from many schools and parents" to block objectionable material and spent about $6 million to purchase licenses for Green Dam software, which would be free to PC buyers, according to Xinhua.
Green Dam has been criticized as insecure, flawed and intrusive. Xinhua reports that when users tested Green Dam's capabilities using cartoon characters, the software deemed the blue-furred Japanese cat Doraemon to be "safe" while the pudgy, lasagna-eating American cat Garfield was at times filtered because Green Dam considers an image with a large area of yellow to be pornographic.

I thought this a good idea by China to delay the act. It builds sympathy, like "gee, maybe they really are re-considering it - this delay sure is thoughtful." An excellent propaganda technique. It just ever-so slightly softens the brutal harsh reality of censorship.
I am a chinese, I don't like someone, or some government check what I do with my computer. I dislike Green Dam.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThe purpose of this action is actually rational, but the way of implementation is totally rude and unacceptable. To delay the implemenation is a good idea.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI even haven't heard about this policy. I'm a Chinese too. But it's definitely not a good idea to use Green Dam!

Great tastying, huge portions. great value, dont let the small space fool you. corner of 41 and 674. Better than taco bell.
This place is very good!!!! It is a very casual storefront with only 2 or 3 tables for sitting, but they do a bang-up business! The place is packed with local blue collar workers getting some lunch.

EL PASO COUNTY, COLO. -- Recent floods have cut off access to several businesses, homes and even livestock near Cheyenne Mountain.
"We have a big hole where the corral used to be," said Hugh Trabandt from Old Stage Ranch Riding Stables. "We have rivers all through the place. We're functioning but it's gonna take a lot of work to get this thing going."
There is much work to be done at the ranch in the Pike National Forest. But those efforts have been hampered by the fact that access to the area has been virtually cut off.
"Of course right now our main worry is the road so that we can bring up the feed necessary to feed these horses," he said.
Old Stage Road is a washout in many locations. Impassible by most modern day forms of transportation.
"Horses are pretty much the only way to get up and down the mountain right now," explained ranch worker Jeff Karshner. "At least this section. Who'd a thought?"
Jeff Karshner is a ranch hand trying to get things back to normal while business in the area has been shut down.
"Until the County gets the road going, I can't get a dump truck up here," he said. "And it's gonna take a dump truck to get everything filled in, and streams diverted and back to where they used to be. It's a mess."
Calls to El Paso County had not been returned by 6:00 pm (Tuesday).

Apple Farm Restaurant
Online Reservations
The food was great! The service was very good as well. Will return.
had a great breakfast with my friend from out of town! Food was excellent as always! we will be dinning there again when she gets back out to visit.
Was a very pleasant 2 hour lunch with good food and attentive service. Would highly recommend as it was / is my parents favorite place to eat in SLO also.
Had. Very pleasant breakfast at Apple Farm. Service was fast and courteous, food tasty and generous.
The Apple Farm is tried and true!! We love it! Perfect for a special brunch or just everyday dining! And there's an opportunity to do a little shopping! Great gift shop! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone--there's a little of everything on the menu!
It was nice peaceful place to take my mom out for a wonderful mother's day brunch. I'd never been there before and I loved it. Consider adding better descriptions of your menu items and maybe a creme brulee french toast. I still haven't found a restaurant in the area that serves it.
We were so impressed with the food quality at Apple Farm Restuarant! Prepared to perfection. Two of us each had salads out of this world... a fresh wedge salad and market citrus. LIghtly dressed with room to let the fresh lettuce and additions be known. Our entrees were a chicken cutlet and the tilapia. We heard the special had kale so each of us asked to substitue our side dishes for that. Oh my... The kale was lightly sauteed and so rich. Just divine. Entrees lovely with the meyer lemon on the chicken and light breading that did not overpower the fish. Great wine list too! Our server was pleasant. The food quality is great but it would be nice for a family where kids would be happy too! GREAT! Will be back when down in SLO!
Although we have been to Apple Farm many times this was our first time for brunch and it was really nice. They were extremely busy so we were glad that we had reservations. The room they seated us in was new to us and it was quite cozy. We had requested the gazebo room but were seated in a completely different section of the restaurant, however, we liked this room just as much as the gazebo room. Our waitress was just a doll and always had a smile on her face. There were many options to choose from for brunch which was nice.
We went to Apple Farm last Friday night. My prime rib was quite tasty. Even better than the filet I had the previous night at a well-known competitor. The food was so good, we went back for breakfast the following morning. The biscuit and gravy I ordered with my meal was nearly as good as the bisquits and gravy I had in Nashville (maybe better - gasp!) Sumptuous. Would definitely recommend.
Apple Farm Restaurant serves good, old-fashioned food that is well-cooked and served in a pleasant atmosphere. It is not a place for foodies, but it is the kind of place that anyone can find a satisfying meal.
Lots of great "American" food favorites, with upscale twists. I had a fabulous turkey pot pie in a flakey crust. Wonderfully sauced, good portion size. 4 of us all had different meals, all great, from hamburger to chicken and biscuits. I had a blueberry cream cheese bread-pudding "dessert of the month" that was incredible. Never had anything like it before. Others had delicious pie and cobblers. Wish I lived closer to this restaurant! Server very friendly, as was all staff we encountered. Manager stopped by to ask how everything was.
Best homemade, fresh and delicious food ever!! Had dinner and breakfast here! Bought their coffee and preserves from shop after my meal. I stayed in the hotel which was super nice and the shop outside the restaurant was filled with great things to buy. Highly recommend stopping and eating here. Will definitely keep coming back!!
The whole "Apple Farm" facility is a class act. The rooms and gift shop are a fun place to visit. We had breakfast in the restaurant and it was very good and the wait staff was extremely professional. I would return whenever possible.
We live in the area had never been to Apple Farm. We loved it. The food was really good as well as the service. We'll be back.
Our son was graduating from Cal Poly. We had a family of five. They were so accommodating. Made reservations on line, and our table was waiting for us after the ceremony. All plates licked cleaned. Thanks for adding to our special day.
Delicious is an understatement. Server was very knowledgeable. Prices were reasonable. I never do fine dining, but I'd return here in a heartbeat. Thanks to the wait staff, the hosts, and the kitchen crew who made our dinner so special.
Haven't dined here for a while, so it was wonderful that the food was still excellent! I like that they use fresh local ingredients in their dishes. My SLO Turkey sandwich was stuffed with freshness! Good place for groups and for lunch.
I highly recommend grabbing some breakfast here. They are a little pricey but the food is delicious. If you are a breakfast person you will definitely enjoy their menu. I had the Salmon Scramble and a side of potatoes and started off with a fresh biscuit. The biscuit was by far the best I've ever had. They serve it hot with a side of butter and jam and I if I was not health conscious, I could have eaten 20 of them. They were so tasty. The scone was delicious as well. I highly recommend enjoying breakfast here. I cannot speak on lunch or dinner since I have not tried either.
It's been about 15 years since I was here last. Just as tasty as I remembered. Thank you for not changing.
My friend and I shared a delicious breakfast as we shared the sampler that came with apple sausage and pancakes and the classic Eggs Benedict. Yum!
Took our son for dinner before heading to Cal Poly - all of us had a great meal - first time we had ever been there but had been recommended to us by several people. would definitely go back again (another reason to visit him, lol) Waiting staff was very friendly.
My wife and I bring our families here whenever they visit us. It is good food and great service. I always get the country fried steak and eggs and my wife enjoys the housemade granola and yogurt plate. We will continue to eat here for years to come.
I met a friend for dinner at the Apple Farm. I made reservations through Open Table since there is often a waiting time. Although we had a 5:00 reservation we still had to wait to be seated. The server was great, very friendly. Our food was tepid. It tasted fine but almost on the cool side. For the price I'd go somewhere else.
Quality, home cooked comfort food at its best. Generous portions, moderately priced, fantastic service (Cal Poly students) Courteous, prompt and did I say fantastic Cal Poly student waiters and waitresses:)) Fresh and clean as well (food), but so were the students! Oh, did I tell you about the Cal Poly students;))) Apple Farm is a great place to enjoy good food with family and friends. You will not be disappointed.
Had a lovely birthday luncheon there; it's under new management and the new manager was very "hands on". Many of the wait staff are college students and are very upbeat and quick! Lovely surroundings and beautiful weather for eating outside. The Apple Pie is TO DIE FOR!!
Went there exactly for that and it was not a disappointment
The Apple Farm was very nice. My husband ordered the chicken pot pie. Delish! I has a bowl chili with all the fixings with homemade cornbread and fresh fruit. We stopped at their bakery on the way out and bought 2 apple dumplings that came with a container of cinnamon sauce that was enjoyed with our friends later that evening. There are 3 areas of their gift shop all decked out in Christmas and kitchen goodies, too. Friendly staff. Country kitchen theme based surroundings and flowers outside. Plenty of outside seating with a foothills view. Looking forward to going again.
The Apple Farm has been a San Luis legend for a good home cooked style breakfast for years. This was our first return visit after several years. I'm happy to report the quality and ambiance are still there.
We had an amazing time. Food was very tasty! Thank you for a great experience.
My daughter and I met in San Luis for a Thanksgiving weekend together and chose Apple Farm for our holiday meal. We couldn't have been more pleased. The ambiance, food, and service were all deserving of 5 stars. What a wonderful and different holiday experience we shared. Thanks Apple Farm!
We found the restaurant online as we were to be traveling in the area over Thanksgiving. We expected a sort of updated coffee shop and since they did not publish a Thanksgiving menu we weren't sure what to expect for a meal other than what we saw on their regular menu. The turkey dinner with soup/salad and desert was as good a TG meal as we've ever had. Absolutely delicious! The dining area was in two parts. There was the updated plus coffee shop decor and then there was a semi-finer section located in a round room. With their marvelously decorated gift shop to browse in later on we found this restaurant to be an unexpected gem.
This place was amazing. The service was fast and very filling. The waitress was very polite and recommend some really good sweets. A must go!!

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
When you think of the ideal marriage what do you think of? Of course spending your life with the man of your dreams is first, but think further down the line than that? Ideally, after the fairy tale wedding you want to be financially stable right? Believe it or not, a large percentage of women marry for money. Whether they marry entirely for money, or whether money plays a huge factor in if you stay together, the fact still remains: Money is the motive! If no one married for money pre-nup agreements wouldn't exist. It's a fact that money is one of the leading causes of divorce and is likely to play just as large of a role in engagement.
So how do we tell the difference between a Gold Digger and a woman who is looking out for her Financial Well-Being? Well allow me to break it down.
Why Did I Get Married: Was it the money first or was it the love? If the money attracted you and you possibly found love later on, you're a Gold Digger. There's nothing wrong with the profession (because it IS a job) but be realistic with yourself. You don't have to answer to anyone else's speculation of you, just know who you are, and that's the digger of the gold variety.
If he went broke, would you stay: When I say broke, I mean to the point where you're one mortgage payment away from renting a refrigerator box under a bridge. No one wants to live this way. We all have dreams of white picket fences, but if the day should come that your husband's money had gone dry, do you think you could weather the storm? If the answer is yes (or even "for a little while") you are more of a Financial Planner than a true Gold Digger. Gold Diggers are business women. Think of them as an endorsement deal. As long as you promise to hold up your end of the bargain (the money) they'll promise to stick around. The first sign of commas disappearing in your account and you can say bye-bye to your trophy wife!
Do you name drop: A true Gold Digger is very proud of her catch and will name drop at every chance she can get. Any time she addresses her spouse by first and last name, you may be dealing with a Gold Digger. The financial planner type is less likely to let people know who she is married to and enjoys being out of the spotlight when she can.
Would you sign a pre-nup: If you say yes, then you are either confident in your relationship, or very confident in your money. A financial planner does not mind protecting her OWN money as long as she knows she'll be financially secure. A Gold Digger on the other hand will run for the hills before you can say the PRE in prenuptial!
Nice Post! I think I am a financial planning gold digger. Can I be both? :)
1. I would marry both love and money, but if I marry for love you have to have at least a little bit of money and a plan on how your money can keep working for you...I would NOT just marry for money with no love...there HAS to be some sort of feelings involved first.
2. If he went broke, and we are MARRIED...YES I would stay..I would actually have money stashed away to hold us down for times like this. I would not leave him just because HE went broke. I still got your back baby!!
3. No don't really name drop and am not too flashy. I am very humble, you won't get to know or see certain things about me until you meet me and even still I won't mention them, you just have to pay attention.
4.I would sign a FAIR pre-nup if not half maybe 1/4, I don't know how the pre-nup situation works but I wouldn't exactly RUN if he asked me to sign one but we would have to negotiate.. :-)
I am a financial planner only. People have done it since the beginning of time by marrying strategically

Empowering diverse learners through quality academics and high-tech resources is the goal of every St. John's University faculty member.
For the last five years, a $1.5 million Title III grant from the United States Department of Education has provided St. John's faculty with a new set of 21st century pedagogical tools, helping them integrate technology into the classroom, enhance information literacy and refine critical thinking skills among students. Now in its final year, the St. John's T3 program has supported a structured faculty development program allowing instructors to explore the use of technology in their teaching with an emphasis on information literacy. The program is yet another example of St. John's University's commitment to ensuring students' future success by preparing them for the global environment fostered by the information age. As long as technology has been available, St. John's has embraced its use as an educational tool, whether that meant creating a fully wireless environment on all its campuses or providing laptops to all incoming students. Though faculty today have a host of technological tools at their disposal, there is a continuing need for training and development.High-Tech Paths to Student Success More than 70 faculty members have participated from all areas of the University. This past September, all T3 participants to date gathered at the Queens campus with department chairs and deans to review achievements and inaugurate the program's final year. Roundtable discussions were held and faculty made presentations on relevant issues in technology and education. Bill Torgerson, Ph.D., a Professor in the First Year Writing Program, explained how he uses screen capture tools to create tutorials for his students demonstrating for them how to navigate different class tools and websites they are using. Prof. Torgerson noted that T3's monthly meetings and its two "boot camps" placed technology "near the front of my pedagogical thinking. Most of my students use technology, but their use of it can be limited and superficial. One of my jobs as a teacher is to create ways for students to expand the technologies they are able to use and to enable them to use those technologies more thoughtfully." "Students at St. John's have always benefited from the University's focus on using the latest technology to prepare them for success," said Clare Byrne, Title III Project Coordinator. "This program has advanced this commitment, bringing us new ways to incorporate technology across the curriculum."Technology Ideas for Faculty Christopher Vogt, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor of Moral Theology, noted that "I really liked the fact that T3 was focused on more than information technology alone. I especially benefited from the T3 seminars on critical thinking, information literacy, and active learning strategies." He added, "T3 was also helpful in terms of learning about new technologies that facilitate communication with students. I learned how to have a video conference with my distance learning students via Skype, and how to use Snag-It to 'record' videos of step by step instructions for my students who were having a hard time navigating their way to E-Reserve or electronic grade book." Many of the participants applauded the gathering as an excellent way for faculty across all disciplines to network while sharing their experiences with technology. Other presentation topics included innovative tools such as the Wireless Tablet, CampusGuides and the Wiki. Topics were not limited to the tools themselves but concepts rooted in the use of technology such as teaching information literacy and cooperative learning strategies. The great strides in technology made by faculty as a result of the Title III grant emphasize the University's ongoing commitment to meet the challenges students face in the 21st century, equipping them with the tools they will need to compete in a global marketplace.

Kroniek van een Dakhebber (Straatnieuws #13, Winter 2007)
Wilma van den Bosch was born in Welland, Canada, as the daughter of Dutch immigrants. However, when Wilma was ten years old, the family moved back to Holland. She got interested in comics after reading an interview with Morris in newspaper De Volkskrant. She wrote a story and tried to sell it to different publishers. Soon afterwards, she was asked by Ed van Schuijlenburg, art supervisor of the Dutch Disney magazines, to write scenarios with Disney characters for Donald Duck weekly.
Donald Duck
After a couple of years writing stories, Wilma also took on drawing. Since then, she has worked as a staff artist for the Dutch Disney magazines Donald Duck, Katrien and Disneyland. In 1999 she created her own comic, 'Prinses Aster'. Two long stories with the character were published in Donald Duck, and in albums by Sanoma and Silvester. In 2002, she received the Stripschapspenning in the category Best Dutch Children's Comic for 'Prinses Aster'.
In 2005, she took over 'Jan Kaman' from Wout Paulussen, a soccer comic written by Herman van Veen. Wilma works for the foundation Teken Mijn Verhaal, and publishes stories in the Utrecht art magazine De Inktpot. She is also working on children's books. Together with her boyfriend Pascal Oost, she has made commision comics for Albert Heijn and De Meergroep, among others.

Factory Invoice is the price a dealer pays the auto manufacturer for the vehicle, including destination charges.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), or sticker price, is the price recommended by the manufacturer for this vehicle. This is a reference point for negotiations with the dealer. Most vehicles typically are purchased for less than MSRP.
Updated weekly, the Kelley Blue Book® Fair Purchase Price shows you what others have been paying for this car recently. It's based on current market conditions like vehicle availability, local demand, and seasonal buying trends.
The white zone falls below the Fair Market Range. Special circumstances such as retiring model years, unpopular color, excess inventory and seasonality may all be contributing factors to sales that occur in this range.
This represents a sample of a range of recent transaction prices for vehicles of the same year, make and model as your desired vehicle. Trim and equipment will vary. Analyzed transaction prices exclude taxes, DMV fees, documentation fees and other dealership charges.

By KBB.com Editors - Updated Date: 11/8/2011
Given these tough economic times, the Camaro is a car that shouldn't exist. Economic crises have a way of killing off muscle cars (think of the 1970s oil embargo or the recession of the late 1980s), so maybe the fact that the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro is flourishing is a sign that better times are not far off. Of course, when it comes to things like safety and fuel economy, today's Camaro is light years ahead of it ancestors, yet it is equally as powerful as the most legendary Camaros of yore. Heck, the base Camaro V6 car has more horsepower than some of the late 70s and early 80s V8 Camaros! Yet for all its improvements, the Camaro continues to annoy environmentalists and government regulators alike, which is probably why so many people love this car. Also appealing is the long-held friendly rivalry with fellow domestics the 2012 Ford Mustang and 2012 Dodge Challenger. It's a flashback moment to a time when names like Toyota and Honda were barely known, and cruising the boulevard in a big, loud American muscle car was a Saturday night ritual. Be it the 323-horsepower LS, the 426-horsepower SS or the 550-horsepower ZL1 (reviewed separately), in Coupe or Convertible, there is a Camaro to fit just about every need and budget.
If you're looking for a high-performance machine that offers the best dollar-to-horsepower ratio in the business, check out the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro. In SS form, it outmuscles most exotics costing twice as much.
If there is a sacrifice to be made for the Camaro's modest sticker price, it resides in the car's cockpit. If hard surfaces and cheap plastics are a deal breaker, you might want to check out the Ford Mustang instead. Those hoping to find the light, agile handling of a BMW at a Chevy price will be sorely disappointed.
For 2012, the V6 Camaro gains an additional 11 horsepower, bringing its total output to 323. Also new this year is a 45th Anniversary package that adds specific hood and deck stripes, 20-inch wheels and special interior trim. Other changes include a new steering wheel design, a power lift feature for the passenger seat, and the addition of a rearview camera to the Rear Vision Package. The high-performance ZL1 is set to debut early in 2012 with a 550-horsepower supercharged V8 engine.
We were given the opportunity to spend equal time in every Camaro trim, from the V6-powered LS to the 426-horsepower SS with the 6-speed manual transmission (our preferred choice as, due to the Active Fuel Management system, the automatic SS has 26 less horsepower). Admittedly, we enjoyed all the cars, but spent the lion's share of our time testing the SS. With its ever-present torque and seemingly endless horsepower reserves it's easy to make the SS go fast. Aided by GM's electronic launch control our Camaro SS was able to tackle the 0-60-mph run in 4.4 seconds, and thanks to the Camaro's multi-link rear suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and substantial tires our Camaro SS was able to perform as well in the curves as at the track. You still have to use plenty of finesse to get this car around turns, but the enhanced traction provided by the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system (incorporates anti-lock braking, traction control and an active braking system to control wheel slip) is a great ally. Old-school drivers might object, but electronic launch control reduces the level of skill required to get off the line quickly, while "Competitive/Sport" modes for the stability system allow turning off many of the electronic aids, for doing your own thing.
Great Exterior Styling
Certainly beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we are of the opinion that the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro looks like a car that could command a much higher price tag. The details like the grille, rear roof pillars and taillights are simply gorgeous.
All-Around Performance
Camaros of old were great in a straight line, but a lot less great around corners, especially if the road surface was uneven. With its multi-link rear suspension instead of a live axle, the new Camaro is much more at home in those challenging situations.
Standing in sharp contrast to the brilliant execution of the Camaro's exterior is its rather lackluster interior. Large expanses of hard plastics on the doors and center console look and feel cheap, and will likely scratch easily over time. But, what the Camaro's interior lacks in execution it more than makes up for in design, with two large hooded binnacles housing the speedometer and tachometer, and an available gauge package for oil temp, oil pressure, volts and transmission fluid temp placed at the end of the center console. The thick-grip steering wheel feels welcome, but its position relative to the driver seems a bit high. Thankfully, the positioning and action of the manual transmission shifter is just right, as are the Camaro's supportive front seats. Some drivers did complain, however, about the absence of any form of adjustable lumbar support and everyone agreed the ridiculously tiny sun visors were all but useless when positioned to block the sun at the driver's side window. As for the Camaro's backseat, let's just say it is as small and confining as you would expect.
Some cars attempt a retro feel that just looks odd or over the top, but the Camaro's design team nailed the spirit of the original without insulting it. A stunning looker at every angle, the 2012 Camaro's visual appeal is striking. Nowhere is this more evident than the intersection between the massive rear fenders and the crisp-edged roof pillar, a joining that makes a bold statement as well as a massive blind spot for the driver. Of course, the aggressive recessed grille and headlamp treatment add an air of wickedness, as does the SS model's massive five-spoke wheel and tire package. Rounding out the look are classic hooded Camaro taillights and a subtle rear deck spoiler.
Perhaps the most notable standard item is the Camaro's good looks, accompanied by a supple and responsive suspension that makes this the best handling, most comfortable Camaro of all time. Cloth-upholstered, 6-way manually-adjusted driver and passenger seat are standard. The 11.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity can be increased with the standard fold-down rear seat. All models include a three-spoke steering wheel with manual tilt/telescope adjustment, plus cruise control and rear defogger. The Camaro's standard entertainment system is a single-CD radio with six speakers, and it offers XM Satellite Radio. All models also include power door locks and express up-and-down windows. Standard safety technologies include front dual-stage airbags, front seat-mounted thorax side-impact airbags, head-curtain side-impact airbags for front- and rear-seat occupants, front-seat safety-belt load limiters and pretensioners and a front-passenger detection system that senses children and small-stature adults and suppresses airbag deployment when appropriate.
While the base Camaro with V6 engine is reasonably well-equipped, some judicious checking of option boxes can add up to a more comfortable while still reasonably priced car. We liked the optional heated, leather-trimmed seats with driver 6-way power adjustment. On SS models, the seats feature a distinctive SS logo on the headrests with contrasting stitching, and an "Inferno Orange" interior trim package is also available with leather interiors. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, redundant steering-wheel controls, Bluetooth and USB port are part of the available "Driver Convenience and Connectivity" package, which also includes remote start on automatic transmission-equipped vehicles, as well as an interface module for iPods and the like. The available premium audio system is by Boston Acoustics, with nine speakers and 245 booming watts. An optional short-throw Hurst shifter provides quick, concise shifting, and there are a variety of available wheel-tire packages, including 21-inch machined aluminum wheels. Specific to 2012 is the 45th Anniversary Package which can be ordered on Camaro 2LT and Camaro SS. The package includes Carbon Flash Metallic black paint with red and silver striping, unique 20-inch wheels, HID headlamps, unique interior trim and 45th Anniversary badges.
The Camaro offers three engine choices - 323-horsepower 3.6-liter direct-injected LFX V6, 400-horsepower 6.2-liter L99 V8 with Active Fuel Management or 426-horsepower 6.2-liter LS3 V8. The V6 can be backed by either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The L99 is accompanied by a 6-speed automatic with paddle-activated driver shift control, while the LS3 has a 6-speed manual.
3.6-liter V6
323 horsepower @ 6,800 rpm
278 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/29 (automatic), 19/30 (automatic 2LS), 17/28 (manual)
6.2-liter V8 (L99)
400 horsepower @ 5,900 rpm
410 lb-ft of torque @ 4,300 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/24
6.2-liter V8 (LS3)
426 horsepower @ 5,900 rpm
420 lb-ft @ 4,600 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/24
Deciding whether you want a V6- or V8-equipped version is the biggest question you must answer concerning the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro. The LS with V6 has a base price of right around $24,000, with the LT Convertible starting close to $31,000. The V8-equipped SS trim rings the register at just under $33,000 and its convertible counterpart just under $39,000. Options can easily push the SS cars close to or over the $40,000 mark. Unfortunately, the Camaro's popularity means customers will have to bargain hard to make a good deal. Thankfully, our Fair Purchase Price tool, which shows the typical transaction price for the Camaro in your area, can help you make your best deal. In comparison to its American brand competitors, the Camaro is expected to retain a better-than-average residual value than the Dodge Challenger, and a few points higher than the Ford Mustang.

I was in a car accident today...I hit a jeep that was camouflaged. The cop said "What happened". I said "I didnt see him!"
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing My curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is Proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten Disability, too.' And then the fight started...
A woman comes home early one morning. Her husband asks "Where have you been?" She says she spent the night with a friend so he calls ten of her best girlfriends and all ten say they know nothing about it. Later, the husband comes home early one morning and the wife asks "Where have YOU been?" He says he spent the night with a friend so she calls ten of his best friends. Eight of them said "Oh yeah he spent the night." The other two said "He is still here."

It should come as no surprise to anyone that there is a mention of Apple CEO Steve Jobs in nearly every book Soundview Executive Book Summaries receives about leadership. Jobs is one of the handful of American business icons of the past 50 years and dozens of business authors use examples from his and Apple's success to illustrate a variety of strategies and principles. In a time period when all eyes are already on Jobs due to his recent medical leave of absence, the famed CEO will come under increased scrutiny as a result of a U.S. Magistrate Judge ruling that lawyers in an anti-trust case have a right to question Jobs. The case deals with accusations that Apple created a monopoly by blocking music purchased from RealNetworks from being played on Apple's iPod. Here's an interesting article dealing with the case.
As I looked at the photo included in this story, it made me reflect on our Soundview Live event with Nancy Duarte last week. The photo in the news story is from one of Apple's product launches (and from the looks of it, it was taken awhile ago). In Duarte's book Resonate: Presenting Visual Stories that Transform Audiences, she points to Jobs' presentations during these launches, particularly the Macbook Air and the iPhone, as being some of the best examples of using the power of story in a presentation.
Did you miss our Soundview Live Webinar with Nancy Duarte? Don't worry! You can listen to the archive of the event right here! In fact, our archive of Soundview Live Webinars is rapidly becoming one of the most popular features at Soundview's Web site, Summary.com. Take a look and see for yourself!

Do you remember being 16? The intensity and power that comes with knowing exactly what you DON'T want, while being completely confused as to what you do? Everything matters so hard at 16. You have the most delicious sense of invulnerability, with a healthy smattering of self-righteousness and passion thrown in for good measure. Its wonderful and delicious and frightening, and I miss it.
Anna, on the other hand, will not miss it. Those of you who know me well know just how hard a year this has been for my daughter. She has had a series of absolutely bizarre health problems, which has caused no small measure of stress in her academic and personal lives. It has been so difficult watching her struggle; seeing our children in serious pain or seriously lost is the dark dark side of parenting. Its Darth Vader, and not the whiney prequel version. This is the Admiral Motti-choking, chopping off Luke's hand, bad-ass terrifying version, the dark side that demands respect.
I hate those parents who always gloom and doom the next developmental stage ("You think infancy is hard? Wait until they start walking! That's when it gets really bad!" Or "Toilet training is nothing! Wait until 12, when they slam the door off its hinges!") I do not want to be that parent. To those of you who have young teenagers, don't take anything I say seriously. I'm sure your child's sophomore year will be just fine. I wish you a year of giggles, of staying out too late, of pushing the boundaries just enough to stretch, but not enough to snap. I wish you student council elections, good grades and some, but not too much, heartbreak.
But for us, well, this was a year we would both rather put behind us. I have never known the depths of frustration, the depths of anger I could feel toward my sweet blue-eyes baby until now, that baby I have loved so hard and strong for so many years. I never knew I could be driven to tears, over and over, as the exact wrong thing came out of my mouth at the exactly the wrong time. I never knew how many times I would drive her to tears. As the year went on, and things became more and more complicated, the phone calls and email between the guidance counselor and home became more and more frequent, it seemed our relationship would break. We circled each other warily, unable to speak even the smallest of words without a miscommunication, and its attendant, drama encrusted argument.
It was awful. I hope nobody out there, no matter how much I dislike you, has to go through what we did. I hope my worst enemy is spared the year of blackness that began with terror in the emergency room at Seattle Children's Hospital, moved through uncaring and inflexible teachers, and ended with Anna not even purchasing a yearbook, as she just wanted this year to disappear. There are scars on our hearts from this year; I can only hope they are not permenant.
But as school is finally getting out for the summer, and we prepare for this trip, we enter a new phase. The last few days, as we pack our brand new, bright blue backpacks, fill our carry-ons with passports and loaded Kindles, have been wonderful. She sees a new start, an end to the crazy. She is a rising junior, a young adult looking forward to this huge undertaking. When she returns, she will have seen and done things that most Americans will never experience, and she is ready to make it her own.
Midwifing babies? Piece of cake. Midwifing myself? Not so simple.

2-Channel Amplifiers Information |
2-Channel Amplifiers A 2 channel amplifier is an amp that can operate two channels. It is basically two 1-channel amplifiers in a single box. This unit is usually intended for operating a left speaker and a right speaker. A channel is the signal and power combination intended for one specific speaker. A car stereo audio system usually has a left channel and a right channel. More advanced audio systems may have separate channels for different types of speakers (midrange, subwoofer, and tweeter) or for rear channels (surround). A bridged 2 channel amplifier is constructed in such a way that the amplifiers can be set up to operate inline providing the effect of a more powerful one channel amplifier. If durability is a concern, a bridgeable two channel amplifier used for two channels tends to work well because it's likely to have higher quality or just more diodes during bridged operation. Using a more powerful amplifier with the gain turned down is also a good idea if longevity is a concern. |

'English papers to help Asia globalize'
By Kim Young-jin The English language media has played a key role in building Singapore's strength and is poised to help Asia further globalize, the chief of the Southeast Asian country's biggest English paper said Wednesday. The remark from Patrick Daniel, the editor in chief of English and Malay newspapers of Singapore Press Holdings Limited (SPH), which operates the widely circulated English daily The Straits Times, came during a courtesy call to the Korea Times as part of a tour of the country. "We chose English rather than Chinese as the working language because we have a multiracial population,'' Patrick explained of Singapore. "Somehow we had to stay together as a country." "The language level has moved up as people become more educated. And as the population becomes more global, of course you want to be that go-to paper." While SPH publishes papers in four languages, The Straits Times is the country's highest-selling paper. Established on July 15, 1845, in the early days of British colonial rule, the paper was sustained throughout the Japanese occupation of World War II, separation from Malaysia and the rise to become one of Asia's largest economies. Daniel said that even though English is the working language of the island country, it is not the mother tongue of many residents making it important to strike a balance. "You want to push it a little bit so people can learn. But at the same time, the aim of an English paper in a non English speaking milieu is keep the language as easy possible. Easy reading is damn hard writing," he said. In addition to English, SPH also publishes in Chinese, Malay and Tamil. He said English language papers and newspapers in general must take stock of their position in society. "Those who have been educated in English tend to prefer to read the English media. They are more international, they want to know what's happening in the world. You start with an advantage that you're reaching a segment that perhaps has some influence." Daniel, who visited various media outlets as well as the Yeosu Expo, expressed particular interest in the Korean wave of popular culture that is spreading around the region and the rest of the world through music, film and television. "K-pop is so popular," said the editor who also runs two radio stations. "They seem to sell out the stadium every time a Korean star comes." |

So I'm running AoW and my group is about to get to "Prince of Redhand." However, there's a major problem: Nobody in the group has the Diplomacy skill. It seems like you need this skill to be able to do anything at the banquet, since the DCs are too high for anyone to make untrained. I don't want to skip the banquet entirely, but I doubt that a long series of failed checks and getting unavoidably poisoned will be much fun for the players.
Any suggestions? Did anyone else run into this problem?
I'm nearing the end of Spire of Long Shadows, and I just checked and will be in the same boat as you are. The best Diplomacy in the party (and the only one with pluses) is the wizard with a +2.
I have to go and re-read the adventure, but if it looks too bad, I may give circumstance bonuses for good roll-playing.
We'll see.
I'll have to read this over, it is a long way for me, but it'll be really sad if a module can be ruined by low diplomacy scores. : \
Been a while since I ran this one, but if I remember correctly, they have one and only one goal at the banquet: meet Lashonna.
As long as they do that, it doesn't really matter how much they mess up the rest of the rest of the diplomacy checks. Yeah they'll miss out on some other good information and some potential allies (and potentially have some poison saves to make...), but the story can continue just fine.
Well my concern is that it seems pretty unfair to present the party with a bunch of social challenges that they have no chance of completing, and to put them in a situation where they're going to get poisoned with no chance to avoid it happening.
I really like the adventure, and I like the idea of an adventure that's centered around role-playing, but I think it was a bad idea to make the adventure so completely dependent on a single skill.
Maybe I'll just skip the banquet entirely and have them find Lashonna some other way.
I have three suggestions:
My group (despite running it in 4E) had Diplomacy and played along. They bought fancy clothes and didn't go crazy on any of the bad guys at the party. However, they also managed to piss of the prince a couple times so two of the PC's got poisoned pretty badly.
Not many influence points were gained by them either, and they thought the adventure was more odd than anything else. Still, a welcome change of pace from the normal dungeon hack fests.
You could always leave everything the same and lower the DCs.
I haven't thought about lowering DCs but I am going to allow "aid another" for each roll. But I'm also considering a special "faux pas" rule where an aid another roll of 5 or less detracts from the current scenario (-2). But we're still at the start so I haven't decided on that one yet.
"oh noes, we dumpstatted anything resembling social and have a huge situation where we suck because of it!"
i call it well deserved ;)
However, in the interest of actual positive contribution, if you are that unhappy with the prospect as a DM then as suggested above: rework the DC's. Alternately, emphasise the actual roleplay element and give varying bonuses to the checks based on what is said/done.
Put in extras for them along the lines of the Wormfood article in the corresponding Dragon magazine. Let some of the checks be made, or boosted, by hired experts. Just don't let them get off too easy on everything.
If they haven't taken it yet, give someone an opportunity to "pre-buy" their next feat, so long as it's Leadership, for a diplomacy-monkey.
I threw in a few diplomacy encounters earlier in the campaign, to point out how useful the skill was going to end up being. This convinced one of the players to make their henchman a bard, with crazy diplomacy/bluff scores. That character ended up becoming the mouthpiece for the party, which made for some really fun times during Champion's Belt... where the party ended up styling themselves after a professional-wrestling faction.
I don't know the encounter in question but it seems to me if a bunch of boorish PCs find themselves attending a political minefield of a banquet then what should happen likely will happen.
I would allow aid anothers (it seems reasonable). I'd reread the rules on ad hoc circumstance bonuses for roleplaying well and I'd use them. Then I would let it play out. There are rules for social encounters because it's expected that at some point in the game you'll want to talk to someone rather than kill them. If no one at your table took that into consideration when making their characters then let this be a lesson to them. To me it's no different then a party with no trapfinder walking into an Indiana Jones style crypt. I'm not gonna feel bad about it when the giant boulder smushes them.
That being said if they can come up with a reasonable way to achieve their objective that bypasses the banquet entirely let them try it. Make it hard but let them try it.
That's all I've got.
- Torger
I have run many campaigns over the years and this one reminded me a little of the meal in Castle Amber.... I suggest if the Diplomacy skills are next to zero the best way is to create situational modifiers, let the characters build up a picture of how the NPC's react with each other, if they notice two NPC's not liking each other thay can play on that and "diss" one NPC to get a +2/4 bonus on another NPC.
Also as a last resort you could let one patient PC take a 20 on their checks and build up bonuses throughout the night should the party really need to succeed on one check.
Red Hand of Doom was like this, luckily i played a Paladin with good Charisma and maxed on Diplomacy so life was easy, however i missed a session or two and it really affected the campaign!
What? A full party believing they can get through an entire AP with no social skill? Unheard of.
When my character was in this gala my DM allowed me to easedrop on conversations my listen check vs. npc's spot check to gain information as I mingled with guests. My character gained a little info. even about the poisoning and I still got the poison and barely made the save it was fun.
They could hire a publicist to attend the party with them. Seriously, barristers are available for hire, you could make them pay more to hire one for this particular event. Bringing such a person could actually improve the perception the other guests have of them to have someone so well-spoken in their employ, and they look like the intimidating, important bosses they actually are.
There should be a solution to every problem for every party composition. I think that hiring a gifted speaker for a healthy chunk of gold is a fair trade off for not having diplomacy skills of their own.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by ca2va Not for Wide Feet
I bough these for my 2 year old granddaughter who has fat (wide) feet and a high instep. The shoe was adorable and I generally love Sperry; however, we could not get her foot in the shoe at all. I purchased a wide but they didn't seem to be wide enough. This is the first time I've had this problem as her 4 year old brother has wide feet also and I don't buy anything other than Stride Rite for both of them. I still think Sperry's are good shoes as her brother wears them; but I was very disappointed and so was she that they didn't fit because they were so cute. We ended up exchanging them for something else she liked.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Shoegirl1121 Great shoe. My daughter loves these shoes but the laces never stay tied which can be an issue for 3 year old that can't tie her own shoes

Beans loves these shoes, she said "mommy I love the sparkles" The picture shown makes it hard to see all of the detailing on the shoe & they do alot to make it look girly. These shoes look great with her uniform (navy blue pants/light yellow shirt). Im very happy with this purchase.
