RENO, Nev. – 96 Drivers made the trip up to Northern Nevada Kart Club this past weekend to participate in the largely awaited 4th round in the 2012 WKA West Super Series, presented by Bridgestone, RLV, and Grand Products. They were faced with a Saturday practice day of strong winds and cooler temperatures leading into a much warmer long day for Sunday's race day. With NNKC using their Track #4 layout, these drivers looked out at a 0.667 mile set up ahead of them!!
With a full class of twelve KPV 1 drivers, these kids kicked off our Sunday Race Day with Jason Pettit and Chase Farley picking up where they left off in round 3 of our WKA West Super Series!! Farley took the lead in the Qualifying session in Reno setting the bar high with a 54.663 and leaving Pettit to fall in place behind him with a 54.887 and Matthew Martin not wanting to be left out with a time just one tenth off of Pettit. Farley put the pressure on Pettit going into the heats and made his presence known when he took the pole from Pettit in the first heat session! Round 3 winner, Roy Fulmer IV who qualified eight tenths off of Farley, fought his way back up to 4th in the first heat session and going into the Pre Final looked like he was going to give Farley and Pettit a run for their money taking them three wide down the front stretch. Mechanical issues would end up with a DNF for that session for Fulmer, relegating him to the back for the Main Event. Farley held off the masses and finished with a 1st place win and after a rough start getting shuffled back to 4th in the Main Event, Pettit took the 2nd place finish leaving 3rd place to Eric Nascimento, who took his time on Sunday to make his way through the pack but chased closely by Branden Benedix in 4th place and Mikey Prinzo taking the final spot in the Top 5.
Kid Karts
Kid Karts may include the smallest drivers, but their determination is big! With a group of six, the Kid Karts headed to the track to battle it out for that trophy! Alec Acevedo laid down the law qualifying with a fast time of 1:09.350 and giving himself some wiggle room with just over a 1 second gap between himself and Cody Batterton. Nolan Wyman, an NNKC native, qualified 4th with a two second gap off of Acevedo, made his way in the mix, taking 2nd place in the first heat session behind Acevedo and then dominating Acevedo's former spot with a win in the Pre Final! Alec Bridgman, Cody Batterton, Sean Cox and Race Godelson battle it out all day for the remaining spots and after some great racing, round out their Main Event with Acevedo reclaiming his 1st place spot, Wyman hot on his trail in 2nd place and Batterton, Bridgman, Cox and Godelson, who each fought to hold their positions against each other.
Heading into the 4th Round of the series in KPV 2 with Sonny Cervelli taking home a win from Prairie City, but in Reno, Blake Murdock was not going to make this a walk in the park for Cervelli setting pole in qualifying with a 50.261 just eight hundredths over Cervelli! Blaine Rocha made a fast lap of 50.477 with Harrison Mills and Cole Davis making great times and advance into the Heats as the Top 5. The green flag flew for Heat 1 and Cervelli took the top spot where he immediately put a gap between himself and Murdock, where the two take off in a race for 1st!! Blaine Rocha doesn't trail too far behind, eagerly awaiting Murdock to slip up and give him opportunity to make a move. Cervelli, Murdock and Rocha and your 1st, 2nd and 3rd drivers headed into the Pre Final to duke it out again! After a 4th place finish and a relentless fight to make his way closer to the top 3 spots, Mills has a motor swap and starts from the back of the pack to make his way all the way up to the 5th spot behind Cervelli, Murdock, Rocha and Davis who strived to keep their positions heading into the Main Event! In the Main, Murdock sent Cervelli into the 2nd spot leaving Rocha to make a move next! Cervelli felt the pressure from Rocha and put his game face back on to show Murdock his bumper after a great slide back up into 1st which gave Rocha the opportunity he had been waiting for to jump up into 2nd for the checkered flag finish!!!! Murdock brings it in for 3rd, Mills took 4th and Cole Davis round out the Top 5 and setting up some excitement for Monterey in August!!
Spec PRD
Spec PRD drivers have definitely been in anticipation of this race and their chance to take home that 1st place trophy!! Matt Chase, who took home the 2nd place win from Round 3 at Prairie City, CA, set the time to beat in the Qualifying session Sunday with a 49.960 and leaving Ryan Casner, shadowing behind him just four hundredths off and Anthony Snow to 3rd being just five hundredths off!!! In a show of great sportsmanship going into the 1st heat, Casner and Chase bump knuckles from the front row coming around to take the green flag. Casner takes the lead with Chase hot on his trail and Shelby Sander, champion from WKA West Round 3, holding on tight to her 3rd place spot! Sander worked her way around Chase to take over the 2nd place position and does not stopping there!! The white flag flies as she put the pressure on Casner, she looked to the inside but can't quite make her way in; it's Casner, Sander and Chase who have created a great lead on the rest of the class and will head into the Pre Final in that order with the CRG America Pilot Cabot Bigham and the Energy of Anthony Snow making up the leading group. As the PRD class head out for their warm up laps, Chase runs into some mechanical issues and does not start the race, setting him back for the Main Event, giving Cabot Bigham a leg up on making his way to the front! One lap in Bigham got even closer with Snow out of the race as well, these drivers felt the heat from each other and the rowdy bumping sends Sander to the back of the pack but made her way back up to 7th between Amber Friedberg in 6th and Elijah Prychodzko in 8th. Heading into the Main Event, Brandon Tomko made his way from his 3rd starting position into 2nd and put some fierce pressure on Casner who held tight to his line in an effort to remain the leader!! A Red Flag after the 5th lap sent Chase, Ashlie Couch and Prychodzko into each other and into the barriers down the straightaway!!! With the Red Flag out, Race Director Kevin Williams declares the fifth lap to be the finishing order for that class, and making awarding the win to Casner, followed by Tomko, Brandon Shaw, Sander and Sisemore. After a challenging day everyone was glad to see everyone walk away from the collision!!
Formula 80 Masters/80 Senior
While the previous WKA West Formula 80 Master and Senior classes haven't had the biggest turn out to this point, this was definitely a rush to see a dozen karts take to the track Sunday!! NNKC natives Formula 80 Senior driver Mark Nason and Formula 80 Master driver Cody McKinney were not about to be out qualified on their home track, putting down times of 48.792 for Nason and 48.935 for McKinney. Adam Booker, our champion from round three, was not going to let anyone stop him today and qualified just two tenths off of Nason who held Booker off all day long up and into the Main Event! Nason kept the distance between himself and Booker and made the race for second between Ben Fisher and Josh Cole who qualified within two hundredths of each other! Cole, hot on Fisher's bumper all day but gave Cole the advantage for the Main Event due to a DNF in the Pre Final along with Eric Rumfalo, Gerry Williams and Cody McKinney who got tangled up with other karts leaving 5 out of 12 drivers on the track. Booker holds tight to that 1st place reputation he is building in his 80 Senior class with Rumfalo and Cole placing behind him and Roger Cornwall and Mike Roes taking 1st and 2nd for the 80 Masters class.
TAG Masters/TAG Senior
Following the Formula 80 drivers were the two TaG Master and one TaG Senior drivers, familiar faces, Corey Mitchell, Dennis Goodson and Wayne Ash. Mitchell quickly taking the reins of what is a seemingly relaxing day for this class with a fast time of 49.937 and Ash only two tenths behind Master driver Mitchell. Ash and Mitchell break away for a good portion of the day all the way through to the Main Event and create a lot of work for Goodson who continues to trail behind them. Making a name for himself with his 3rd race so far is Wayne Ash and we can't wait to see what he brings to round 5!
Jr. 1-2 Cycle
Nine Jr 1 2 Cycle drivers made it out on Sunday with excitement in their eyes as they arrived for their first race day practice session at NNKC. The action of the day was between Matthew Martin and Eric Nascimento. These drivers were eager to deliver their fast times and try and claim that 1st place spot and all the bragging rights associated with it; Martin and Nascimento did not disappoint! Martin putting his skills to the test in Qualifying with a 55.548, relegated Nascimento just one tenth behind him, followed by Oliver Calvo, Richard Stock and Wyatt Couch! At the green flag in the first heat, Martin quickly moves to 1st while Calvo puts up a tough fight to take the 2nd spot from Nascimento while Nascimento was not leaving Calvo any room to get by!! Both drivers were hot on the back of Martin who felt them not far behind! Nascimento held off Calvo, looking to Martin for any opening, while Calvo finds a way past him. Calvo looking to pass Martin succeeds with 5 laps to go but doesn't get the chance to get comfortable, Martin repays the favor and reclaims first. Losing position to Martin, Calvo finds himself off into the dirt and out of the race! Nascimento sees opportunity with 3 laps to go makes his move to the inside of Martin. Martin drops back yet another spot when Stock followed Nascimento past him! Martin displayed great driving and some serious sense of willpower and reclaimed his 1st place spot for the start of the Main Event. Nascimento was all over Martin's bumper after seeing the final green flag of the day, while Calvo came up on Couch and put the pressure on him to hold his line or he was going to 4th!! Calvo drops back and finds himself battling with Clayton Williams for a spot as they both now gain some speed on Matthew Proud with Couch with Anthony Bridgman commanding the back spot! Martin pulled away and he secured his spot for 1st place as the white flag flew, but it is a fight to the finish for Calvo and Williams as they finish 5th and 6th behind Nascimento in 2nd, Couch in 3rd and Proud in 4th!
Clone Sr.
These guys are not messing around! With 22 Clone Senior drivers signed up for race day, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that this class was going to get interesting! Chad Nascimento was itching to make his comeback from the previous race, qualified out front with a fast time of 57.466, while Jon Ban and Stephanie Lienau hung in for second and third place. With a few karts out in turn one of the first heat, C. Nascimento began to break away from the group leaking Ban and Rodney Rivera to duke it out behind him and try to make their way through several more karts heading off into the dirt. With a black and checkered finish for the first Heat, there was sure more to come for the Pre Final! Only two laps into their next session, the Red Flag flew due an oil spill on all the way around the track from two karts! With an extended clean-up the Pre-Final was determined official, to prepare the class for the all-important Final. Coming around for the green flag, its NNKC native Rivera and C. Nascimento side by side into turn one and Rivera takes the lead in the Final! The caution flags are out after a near accident with a huge pack of drivers, several of them sitting on their sides but most are able to continue the race. Making it through the pack, Rivera dropped back a couple spots to find himself being pushed uphill by Brandon Shaw who is struggling to get into the top positions with C. Nascimento and Rob Nascimento!! With three laps to go, Another incident brings out the Red Flag. The Final was determined complete, and the class is done for the day, awarding the win to C. Nascimento. Followed by R. Nascimento, with Rivera third.
Clone Jr.
There may have been only 2 Clone Jr Drivers Sunday but they ran the entire day with the Senior drivers making up a class of 24 karts!! NNKC native Dean Andrews left his mark taking on the WKA West Points Lead, Jake Pipal by qualifying seven tenths ahead of Pipal and ended up taking home the 1st place trophy and points for the day but these guys hung in there all day and made their way through the accidents and oil runoff. Can't wait to see them dominate in round five of the WKA West Series.
Sr. Super Sportsman
A small class for the Super Sportsman drivers with only three, Bryan Parmenter once again took to the Qualifying session with a 52.218 leaving Nick Robertson eight tenths off and making Anthony Snow one second off fast lap. It looked like Snow was going to give Parmenter a run for his money after making his way past Robertson and these three drivers were into each other all day trying to make their way around one another. Snow has a bumper hanging off the back and gets a clear view of the Mechanical Flag flying as he pulls off the track and unfortunately doesn't get the opportunity to finish the day out in this class after his decision to take a breather due an accident in his PRD Spec class that knocked the wind out of him. Parmenter and Robertson take to the track after the clones have an oil spill and make one complete lap for the Pre Final before deciding they were not liking the feel of the track at the time and after facing off in the Main Event, it's Parmenter remaining top dog in the Super Sportsman class as he takes home the win for our last class of the day! We can't wait to see what's to come for WKA West Series round 5!!

Our zombie obsession: explained?
Floridians and readers of news everywhere are transfixed by the fact that a naked man had to be shot to death on Miami's MacArthur Causeway after officers found him eating the face off of another man. It's an invitation to publish something so far outside the realm of standard 'sensationalism' that we may as well call it fantasy journalism:
some have likened the attack to one by a zombie. Details of the unthinkable attack included police reporting that when they ordered the cannibal to stop, he looked up with blood on his face and growled at officers.
Monsters in our midst! Our darkest visions come to life! The world is slipping out of control! Our very humanity is disintegrating before our very eyes!
The president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, Armando Aguilar believes the entire incident is the fault of a new drug trend that has led to similar incidents. Emergency room doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital said they too have seen a major increase in cases linked to the street drug called "bath salts" or the new LSD.
Ah. Sorry about that. Street drugs! They're back! Like the PCP that turned Rodney King into a cop-killing monster! No normal human being would degenerate like this into some kind of bloodthirsty were-hyena. The drugs made him do it. And they're increasing.
"We noticed an increase probably after Ultra Fest," said emergency room Dr. Paul Adams, at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Parties! Festivals with superlatives in their names! The true menace, uncovered!
Like a hellish version of the DirectTV commercials that warn you not to buy cable because you'll wake up in a ditch, the news media and our criminal justice system work together, wittingly or not, to craft a fantasy narrative about the sources of crazy chaos — the things that encourage public opinion to predicate itself on a sense of generalized dread and unmasterable fate.
First, they breathe a damp air of fantasy onto the news: one person's 'freakout' becomes an incipient trend — the promise of an already-developing, newly unthinkable reality. (This is the first of how many nude, snarling men, scrambling into the streets to gnaw each others' mouths off?) Then, they pivot to strike a pose of objectivity. They strike such a stark and abrupt contrast with the lurid panting that preceded it that it takes on the feeling of fact. The grim search for an explanation — there must be an explanation — swiftly leads, with apparent inevitability, to long-suspected culprits such as mysterious drugs and large parties. We'd better empower the authorities to crack down on these otherwise uncontrollable things. Otherwise, we might be next out there on the streets, getting our lattes spilled and our temporomandibular ligaments ripped out by a naked, inhuman freak. Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before that's us…or our children.
But wait. There's something buried down there in the paranoia and power-worship. Is it…
The suspected cannibal has been identified by the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner's officer as 31-year-old Rudy Eugene. Eugene may have been homeless at the time of the attack…
…the truth? Inside the quasi-undead were-hyena is a…31-year-old homeless human being named Rudy? Maybe his possible homelessness is a potential fact worth following up on. Maybe the details of his journey from a baby boy to a child to a teenager to a man to a monster are worth uncovering and sharing with the reading public. Maybe the purpose of such a humane investigation isn't anything so shallow or easily politicized as 'compassion' or 'empathy', but the reinforcement of a simple but sobering statement of tradeoffs. It's as easy as can be to crack down on monsters — ban whatever places and things they associate with, throw them in jail forever, or simply destroy them like mad dogs or injured horses. What's difficult is dealing with the reality of how many monsters we're producing — and not from scratch, either. We make monsters out of people.
And if you don't like assigning responsibility that generally, let's say that we allow monsters to be made out of people. Human beings. Just like the rest of us. Their personal responsibility plays a role, of course. Some people are too entranced by darkness or too afraid to accept being merely and fully human. But the politics of personal responsibility is secondary to the simpler question of how many monsters we can accept walking, shuffling, snarling, hurting, feasting, and killing among us. Fantasy journalism makes it seem like there are more inexplicably crazy people than there are. But there are way more explicably crazy people than we'd like to imagine. Who will turn our monsters back into humans? If the market can help us answer that question, media and law enforcement will really have something to dream about.

The Hankster
I really want an iPhone 5 since I still use my 3GS, despite it turns off when it rains or is cold outside.
I bough an Lumia 800 to replace it about a year ago, but after a short while thouch stopped working, (repaired) then the screen loosened and the buttons got loose (repaired) now it stopped charging - they wont fix it becous it is a "userfault" - but I have totaly gotten to use it for about a month - the rest of the time my 3GS has been my bacup for better and worse. Thats why I want an iPhone 5

I'd like an iPad Retina or an iPad mini. I'm currently a Library and Information Science master's student and a future professional goal of mine is to learn how to better incorporate technology into university libraries in order to better help students with their academic success.
I would like an iPad or iPad mini for my mom because she really wants one!
Dear Santa, I've been a really really really really good boy this year! I want an iPad Mini for Christmas. Amen. I mean... HO HO HO
PS: I don't have a chimney so just stuff it in the mail. Or go through the toilet system
I'd love the iphone5 for my wife - she deserves it after all the turkey dinner she cooked today ( yummy)
I would like an iPhone 5 because I don't have a phone for almost 3 months and my parents won't buy it for me while I can't afford it since I don't have money and January 7 is my birthday so it would be a great gift for me! Please let me win. I need it. I can't contact my loved ones through text because I don't have a phone.
I'd love to actually own an iPad or an iPad mini. (I'd probably want an iPhone 5 (unlocked) even more, but at $600+, even a gift card of $325 wouldn't help a ton.) I am a student who really, really enjoys design, both onscreen and hardware, and I especially love Apple's clean, refined aesthetic. Also, I'm getting into professional music, and GarageBand on iPad is fantastic — I've tried it out. Finally, I'm just an Apple lover. So, to fully experience the true power of iOS, an A6X processor (or an A5 ;-) would really be cool!
One last thing: I gotta say, this is awfully nice of you Mobile Nations staff! You're giving a grand total of $1300 away just 'cause. (One could even say it's a RESOLUTIONARY thing to do! :-) And I hate to grovel and beg, but, I guess those were the instructions. What you're doing defines the holiday spirit.
Great idea, and good luck to all participants! Good tidings :-)
I would like an iPad.I really want to replace my 1st generation nook! That would be awesome. Thanks iMore.
Black iPad Mini to help me with my education :D haha
I'd like a new iPad or iPad mini! My wife (who previously didn't see a need) is now hooked on the iPad, and has taken it over.
An iPhone 5 because I dunno.
New iPad for my wife's birthday in January
I would love to get my wife an iPad mini to replace her iPad 1. It is trying to fade away gracefully.
An iPad mini would be awesome for my 3 year old niece because she's always playing with mine when she comes over
I would like to get an iPhone for a friend who has an android that is a piece.
Actually using Smartphone it's helps me a lot. Specially contacting my Family to my homeland using Skype. Thank you! Apple for making my love ones near to me even were far apart! I hope this Christmas there will be no more loneliness away from there families, just one click of ur iphone.. My wish, hoping I can give a little gift to my love ones! heheh.. >_<
I guess Santa forgot me. There was no iPad under my tree :(
Dear Santa, I changed my wish, I've been a really really really really, good boy this year, I want a White iPad Mini for Christmas. Amen. I mean HO HO HO

I'm thinking an iPad mini would be nice.
Merry Christmas to everyone at Mobile Nations and the communities here!! Would love an iPad mini to use at work. I work in the agriculture industry and the reg. iPad is just a bit to cumbersome to carry out in the fields with you...Mini would be perfect!! :)) Merry Christmas all!
I do want an iPhone 5 because I got so many reasons.
1) First of all, an iPhone is actually and truly a masterpiece. Though I never owned any but seeing it for about 5 years on the web I could praise its rectangular curves, glossy icons, great camera, elegant reflections.
2) I never ever in my life held a smartphone. But I do own this skimpy Nokia Asha 305 (http://i.imgur.com/mRdFL.jpg) (shot using a burrowed Panasonic camera) and it's in fact, a S40, so you know my pain. Previously held a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (This one's also S40).
3) In India, all the devices are way overpriced and here we don't have contracts that you guys have. So it's very very hard to buy here. And a factory unlocked iPhone5 (recently checked) costs about Rs 62,000, will be about USD 1127. See it's way overpriced!
4) Been a iPhone enthusiast since it was introduced back then in 2007. I don't say a I'm a fanboy, but ever since it came by I stuck glued to every unveiling event. I could see statistics about millions being sold and reviews put up and it really made me upset.
5) Trying to learn photography but never had any money to hold a dSLR. Did on some point and shoot cameras and the Nokia Asha 305 (see some here --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/einsoren ). If I had an iPhone it would fulfill my dream of getting a SUPER-SMARTPHONE with an equally powerful camera. So it could actually help me get closer to achieve an art form.
Till now I don't have other reasons to own an iPhone.
Bhavesh Soren, the-wannabe-iPhone-owner!
Good luck (=
I want the iPad Mini! Was originally planning to buy one for myself, but bought it for my girlfriend instead so I have nothing to play with.
I would love to win an iPad mini because I never win these iMore contest/drawing things. Happy Holidays everyone.
an ipad mini so i can save money on college books! (already paying for college out of own pocket)
Hi Everyone
I would really like an iPad Mini, I want a small tablet to use for reading..it will be put to awesome use.
I want an iPhone 5 for my brother that just came home from the army. I want to show him that I really miss him! He loved my iPhone 4S, so I really want him to enjoy having his own iPhone 5. :/ please open your hearts this Christmas. Thanks for reading :)

text: Introducing a new generation - gay, straight, and ethnically diverse - coming of age in a post 9/11 world, searching for love and belonging as they confront their identities and ride the waves of sexual awakening. Shot in high-definition digital video on location in and around New York City and Los Angeles, Anyone But Me is a fresh take on the universal conflicts that shape us all. Executive producer/writer Susan Miller is an Obie award-winning playwright (My Left Breast ) and was a Consulting producer/Writer on the first season of Showtime's The L Word and ABC's landmark series thirtysomething. Executive Producer/Writer/Director Tina Cesa Ward took top honors for her film, In Their Absence , which was screened at film fests around the globe. A "relevant new drama." --TubeFilter News Transcends the oft-politicized aspects of its storyline, and simply reminds us of what it feels like to be young and in love. --NewTeeVee.com "The L Word goes to High School Anyone But Me. Undeniably appealing." --Tilzy.TV "Anyone But Me brings awareness of the challenges of growing up in a generation that doesn't remember life pre-9/11. And the chemistry between the two girls is undeniable.-- AfterEllen.com "It's refreshingly apparent in the first episode that this series isn't cut from the same cloth as most of the teenage dramas on television, instead delivering a more realistic depiction of teenage issues compared to the oft-escapist TV shows populated with vapid and privileged youth." --Philadelphia Gay News www.anyonebutmeseries.com

SAN DIEGO Tiger Woods made it look easy on a dreary day at Torrey Pines and wound up in a place he hasnt been in five years.
He had the 36-hole lead by himself at one of his favorite PGA Tour stops.
Woods didnt miss a shot during a four-hole stretch around the turn on the North Course that included a 5-iron to 5 feet for eagle and a wedge that one-hopped off the pin to set up birdie. It carried him to a 7-under 65 on Friday and gave him a two-shot lead in the Farmers Insurance Open.
Woods was at 11-under 133 and had a two-shot lead over Billy Horschel, with six other players two shots behind. Already a favorite with seven wins as a pro at Torrey Pines, Woods had even more in his favor going into the weekend. He had a 74-0 edge in PGA Tour wins against the next seven players behind him.
Horschel, who had to go back to Q-school to get his card last year, had a 69 on the South Course.
Woods caught a break in the draw by playing the easier North its about 600 yards shorter on a day of light rain, a late breeze and soft conditions.
Brad Fritsch, a rookie from Canada, had a 67 on the South Course to lead the group of six players at 8-under 136.
The others were Casey Wittenberg, Steve Marino, Jimmy Walker, Josh Teater and Erik Compton.
Phil Mickelson struggled to keep his hands dry in the wet weather and finished bogey-bogey on the South for a 71 to make the cut on the number, though his work isnt over. There were 87 players who made the cut at 1-under 143, meaning there will be another cut to top 70 and ties Saturday.
Wood leads the way in Qatar Masters
DOHA, Qatar Englands Chris Wood shot an 8-under 64 to take a three-stroke lead over New Zealands Michael Campbell and two others after the third round of the Qatar Masters.
Wood had a 15-under 201 total. Campbell had a 68 to match Englands Simon Khan (64) and Swedens Alexander Noren (66) at 12 under. Spains Sergio Garcia (70) and South Africas Branden Grace (67) were 11 under.

Genre:Â Comedy, Drama, Romance |Â Run Time:Â 126 min |Â Rated:Â R
Director:Â Spike Jonze |Â Starring:Â Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams
By:Â George Wolf
Is Spike Jonze the most imaginative American filmmaker working today?
Yes. Need proof?
This is the guy who turned the beloved, 10-sentence children's book Where the Wild Things Are into the most heartbreaking and wondrous film of 2009. The guy who could make the act of adapting existing work into the most original film of 2002 (Adaptation).
Heck, it's the man who made his directorial debut telling the tale of a filing clerk who sells tickets into John Malkovich's head. And the quality of his output has only improved, taking on a depth and beauty since he began writing his projects as well.
With Her, the first film Jonze has written entirely on his own, he's crafted the year's most poignant love story.
It sounds like the lead-in to a joke: A man falls in love with his computer operating system. Who, besides Jonze, could take a premise like and turn it into a masterful image of our times?
Joaquin Phoenix plays the lonely and emotionally bruised Theodore, in the not-too-distant-future Los Angeles. Still reeling from a break up, Theodore shies away from traditional intimacy, but finds himself attracted to the newest update in operating systems: the OS that evolves to meet every need.
Credit Jonze for sidestepping every imaginable cliché – and there are plenty – and instead exploring society's current trajectory with surprising tenderness, perhaps even optimism. Yes, he notes the superficiality of relationships in the technological age, and the tendency toward isolation. But it's not like he believes the machines are going to rise up and enslave us.
Not that he exactly rules that out.
What he does instead is almost magical. He introduces us to the very picture of humanity in Samantha, the operating system. Scarlett Johansson voices the character, and enough cannot be said of her performance. It's easy to undervalue voice talent, but Johansson shows what can be done with nothing else to rely on – no facial expressions, no setting, no gestures. Her performance is an absolute wonder.
Likewise, Phoenix is magnificent, falling in love on screen with no physical being to perform against. His work is vulnerable and touching enough to take your breath.
A sparkling supporting group, including Amy Adams, Olivia Wilde, a very funny Chris Pratt, fills out the cast, each making the utmost of the environment Jonze has created.
The film looks and feels amazing, with every detail of set design and script enhancing and deepening the impact of the love story. It's a beautiful, imaginative, relevant image of love in the modern world.

Maybe next year we should call Black Friday, "OCCUPY WAL-MART"
www.peopleofwalmart.com and see the wreckage for yourself without leaving the comfort of your chair? Enjoy!:eek2:
I never 'holiday' shop so black friday or whatever they wish to call it is never even considered. I purchase all I will need ahead of time when its cheaper. So its really not so expensive. We dont like stress either, so if its something negative you'll just have to tae it somewhere else thank you.
Of course we dont exchange gifts anymore, except for the grandchildren. I get them books(of course!)
Now some big retail stores are making their employees work on Thanksgiving Day itself...can't say I like this development.
Meanwhile, some Wal-Mart employees are planning a walkout on Black Friday:
I love Target. I love shopping. I don't so much love my in-laws, whose house I will have flown 3,000 miles to be at bright and early Thanksgiving morning. I would love an escape. I would love to go to Target. It will be open. YES!!!
But wait, no. I can't support this opening on Thanksgiving thing. As a nation we aren't given much time to spend with our families and there are a few days a year most people can count on - and should be able to. I remember my first job was in fast food and I used to literally cry when they made me work on Christmas and I had to wait on all of the families. It's a horrible feeling. People shouldn't be made to do this.
(This totally reminds me of the Labor Day thread, by the way.)
So, I'd love to go to Target on Thanksgiving but I'm going to stay away. And I hope other people will do, though I doubt it.
My last year that I had to work holidays in retail my store closed at 6 the night before Thanksgiving. It was one of those stores, though, that don't kick people out. These two women were walking around just taking their time and browsing. At 7 a manager told them we'd been closed for an hour. They said they didn't care and kept right on shopping (though they didn't buy anything) until right after 8. An entire store of people had to wait around for these two selfish women. I personally had a three hour drive that night and was not happy that I had a two hour delay to see my family. But people don't care. They really don't.
Here's a petition if you'd like to sign.
It becomes a rush. Usually go do a bit of shopping. But has become so crazy busy and such a wait. Think I will skip it and yup be in the last week or two of finishing the last minute gifts. How about you?
Holidays have become a faster moving thing. Its more about sales and time away from family.We don't get through one holiday before the stores have moved on to the next. Crazy. I missed the laid but sit home with the family and friends and enjoy a meal. The time together is so presious .

Now, as a bride, we understand that choosing your few favorite best friends can be a difficult task, but it's important to never ask the one's that you expect to give you some unnecessary gifts. What the bride needs to understand is that your bridesmaids are taking on enough of a financial and emotional responsibility simply by saying, "Yes." Therefore, it's important to work with them and accept what each one can offer you – on a support level, not financial.
So, with all that being said, what are the top 5 things that brides should never EXPECT from their bridesmaids? Let us go ahead and tell you.
Don't Expect Weight-Loss
One of the worst things you can expect from your bridesmaids is that they will lose an extreme amount of weight before your wedding. Whether you feel they're a little overweight, or if you're worried they may stress eat – you asked them to be your bridesmaid as they are, not as you want them to be.
Don't Plan On Receiving Some BIG Gift
Think about it this way – your bridesmaids are already spending money on the potential destination wedding, bridal shower, bachelorette party, as well as their dresses and hair/make-up. Do you really think it's fair to expect some massive, expensive gift? Honestly, the best thing for you to do is just be happy they showed up and have been supporting you throughout all your wedding stress. They're emotional support, not financial.
Don't Make The Bachelorette A Destination
Trips can be expensive – that's the bottom line. As we've mentioned before, it's important to keep their budget in mind, just as you keep your wedding budget in mind. The bachelorette doesn't have to be in Vegas or somewhere international, it just has to be somewhere fun where all you girls can take out her single life with a bang!
Don't Think They Can Read Your Mind
Yes, they may be your best friends, but if they haven't been able to read your mind over the past few years, they still probably can't now. Therefore, you need to be vocal about what you want and don't just let the bridesmaids battle it out to make the decision for you.
Don't Anticipate Them Being Perfect
This is one of the worst things you could do – and this is the cardinal rule. It wraps in the above four tipsr while also bringing in other points. Your bridesmaids are going through a lot of emotions as their best friend gets married off into the real world, and weddings are no cheap affair. So, accept them for who they are, you asked your bridesmaids individually for a reason and it's best to just trust they'll be there for you as often and as best as they can.
Don't Expect Them To Find The Perfect DJ, that Plays Non Stop Music You Love!
In NYC and the sounding areas, quality disc jockeys are a rarity. From the downtown club hopper slinging the next Miley Cyrus jam, to the up and coming performers of Albany New York, getting the highest level service is one of toughest tasks. Below is a perfect example of Class, Passion, and Professionalism:

hi rick,im sorry its taken me so long to answer you ,bin a bit busy with other things,what a lovely picture of the engine,thanks for putting it on,allways interested in anything to do with brookie and his efforts ,i have been busy on other projects and have not had much time and money to spend on the gp special over the last 12 months,i am stuck for rear uprights at the moment, so i have been doing other things,David morris has stripped the pre selector gearbox for me so we can get the lines through to the diff, but all is now at a stand still as i need the uprights before i can finalise the diff position and i can't seem to find any,the problem is the brakes need to be outboard and the uprights need to be compatible for 15" or 16"inch wheels so the car sits right and the drive shafts run level ,i havn't made the rear wishbones yet ,so the uprights are the next step,thanks again for the picture on the thread as soon as i do some more progress i will add it to this thread,but i am just about to pull the engine and gearbox out of the brough superior ags for inspection and some work before the season starts with the VSCC,.happy new year to all who read this ,and i can't wait for this years F1 season to start with my hero coming out of retirement ,i wonder wether the brawn cars will be the new silver arrows ,i certanly hope so,and i wish michael the best of luck and hope he does it again as i am sure alot of other fans do, martyn.
Researching an old photo I've put on my site, led me to re-read this thread. The photo seems to show a similar scene to one already featured a while back, albeit from a different angle. Anyway, thought you'd be interested to see it...

In Italian they have a saying: "Devo farlo per le mie ossa." The translation is: "I need to make it for my bones," or "I need to do it for my strength."
In my meditation practice I take refuge in the Buddha, dharma, sangha and (I confess) art. Art making is a place of refuge for me. I feel alive and at home when I am in the creative process. My work is more about the process than the content. The content is something I have little control over, like something I stumble upon.
I love the simple physical act of making marks, like painting on the cave wall. It is a journey where at best, the painting starts leading the painter. The process is edgy, often uncomfortable but somehow satisfying and like a dream that is affirming.
I think my art is strange looking and beautiful in a soulful way.
Delfina Piretti is a visual artist and body/mind psychotherapist with a studio in San Francisco. She teaches expressive arts therapy at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Piretti's studio work incorporates painting, mixed media works, installation, live events and public art. Her art practice relates directly to her work as an expressive arts therapist, her interest in shamanism, Zen Buddhism and her Italian cultural roots.

Cascade Wind Chime with Black Metal Bells 2 2
Very pretty! I got this for my mom for a Christmas present. I like how this chime is simple yet still beautiful and noticeable. It's slim and hangs down pretty long. She's going to love it! November 17, 2010
Missing 1 tiny thing... I'm glad I got this wind chime during a sale, as I would hate to have paid full price for it. I bought it for my apartment balcony. It looks great, but that's about it. It doesn't chime, even on really windy, stormy days. The bells are lined up such that they don't hit each other, or the beads. I'm not sure if that's such a bad thing. As I hung it, the bells made a tinny clangy sound. I'm not sure if that's a sound my neighbors, or I would like to hear. Such a shame, and such a waste. August 8, 2011

It could be somethign entirely different as well. Corn, wheat, eggs, nuts...those are all high allergins.

OTC hydrocortisone seems to help reduce inflammation and I'm going to pick up some Aveeno products (the safer ones listed on cosmeticsdatabase.com) at the store today. We'll stop the goat milk for a week and see what happens.
Crunchy in mainstream suburbia | Sleep-deprived WAHM
My dd is 8yo now, started having eczema at age 4, 1 yr after I weaned her.
Now she gets an occasional spot of it on legs arm or face, but it usually goes away with hydrocortizone cream. I dont like to use this, but she gets it so infrequently and i use a minimal amount......and its usually gone within 48hrs.
we have eczema on both sides of the family. My mom had it chronically very bad until age 18, then it went completly away for good. Her doctor at the time (1930's) used to xray her as a way of treating it. Didnt do that too many times.
my dh's sis had it bad in childhood, now gets an occasional spot like dd does.
Mine has improved quite a bit with the warmer, more humid weather but I've also noticed for the past few summers that when my seasonal allergies get intense, my eczema is more prone to flaring. I've just bought some probiotics from custom probiotics and am going to get serious about dealing with my gut health. Guess it's time to go back to the ND for an update on my health status and to get some direction about where to aim my will power (do I really need to avoid oats and bananas and...?).
I'm seriously ready to cut my hands off.
I'm no stranger to candida and I'm assuming that's what's going on but I'm feeling so reluctant to do any heavy cleanses because I'm nursing. I've avoided topical steroids and have been doing everything under the sun that's natural. Nothing has worked thus far. I eliminated wheat/dairy for a few weeks and didn't see a huge improvement. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason - but I'm familiar with food sensitivities and know they can be delayed...
I just need to get this under control or I'm going to wake up one morning with bloody hands.
Any other sufferers have luck getting rid of this?
Magnesium, Hydrochloric Acid and Digestion Magnesium is needed to reduce histamine levels. In the book Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, the authors note that food allergies are usually associated with low hydrochloric acid levels and poor digestion. The authors' rationale for this is that low stomach acid leaves food undigested and fermenting in the intestinal tract. This fermentation causes gas, bloating and stomach upset, the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Undigested and fermented food causes the body to raise histamine levels, which produce allergic reactions. This is why people take antihistamines for allergies, to lower histamine levels.
Low stomach acid levels reduce levels of beneficial intestinal bacteria which is needed for absorption of magnesium. When lab rats are deprived of magnesium, a wide variety of studies have noted that they develop allergy like symptoms. Their ears turn red and they develop skin problems. Rats with magnesium deficiencies have increases in histamine levels. They also have raised levels of white blood cell counts. Mg deficiency has been implicated in allergies and allergic skin reaction in many studies on humans, too. Variations of allergies, skin allergies, and raised white blood cells have all been noted as features of many chronic disorders.
Stress stops the production of HCL. See, also, The Magnesium Web Page.
One method used to find out if you have a stomach acid insufficiency is to look at your fingernails or toe nails and see if there are vertical ridges or lines. If the lines are strong, then there is not only a stomach acid lack but also the body is too acidic with respect to the acid/alkaline balance.
If you drink before, during or after a meal, the HCl in your stomach is diluted and will inhibit or slow down digestion.
Raw vegetables and fruits contain enzymes which helps to take the strain off our finite (limited) enzyme production ability.
Protein should be eaten first so that the HCl can work on them immediately. You can then eat vegetables, but do not eat any fruit (at that time). Fruits cause an alkaline substance to be excreted which inhibits protein and starch digestion.
Food intolerances due to improperly digested proteins as a result of inadequate stomach acid, thus nutrient absorption issues, lead to damaged gut and immune problems long term.
Or improper microbial balance in the gut.
I'd explore environmental allergens also. Do you have a HEPA air filter in the bedroom, dust mite covers on the mattress and pillows, no animals or stuffed animals in the bedroom, windows closed to bedroom at all times to avoid pollens, grasses, tree allergen exposures?
GMO-corn is a difficult protein to digest for some (most?) children and adults. Corn is in EVERYTHING. Dairy exposure is everywhere. Here is a list of hidden diary: http://www.kellymom.com/store/handou...dden-dairy.pdf
Hidden corn: http://www.cornallergens.com/list/co...ergen-list.php
Here is a link with more information about eliminating airborne allergens: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...l#post12748820
I would do whole food probiotics, cod liver oil, magnesium, vit. C, zinc, coconut oil, bone broths, green juices. Support the immune system. The gut is 70% of our immune system. (Antibiotics damage the microbial balance in the gut.)
Basically, you have to heal the gut to strengthen the immune system. Check out the "Healing the Gut-cheat sheet" at the top of the forum. http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=434071
It all starts with nutrient-dense foods, effective digestion (with adequate stomach acid), absorption of nutrients (in the gut with balanced microbials), and detoxification of the chemical byproducts of foods and environmental toxins in the liver.

I would eliminate dairy from your diet. Dairy is the most common source of dietary allergen (and mucus production). Here is a list of hidden diary: http://www.kellymom.com/store/handou...dden-dairy.pdf
Dh had something similar, without the severity in the photo (most of the time), classical homeopathy resolved it. Now we do gut healing alternatives and it is gone. (knockonwood)
HTH, Pat
Yes. I should know all of this. I used to be a Weston Price Chapter Leader. :
I got off track. Far off track. It's partly psychological for me...I'm having trouble committing to a lifestyle change that would effectively prevent me from seeing food as wonderful and communal rather than something to be scared of.
I just got a call back from a local farmer telling me they now have fermented CLO in stock. So I'll be getting that this week. I don't have a HEPA filter, nor can I afford one in the foreseeable future. I truly think I need to work on this from the inside out - if I'm not in balance inside all sorts of things from the outside will bother me.
The eczema is only one way my body screams at me to heal. I've suffered from gut, urological and gynecological problems for years. My problem is that I've been chasing a cure rather than accepting that this is how it's going to be forever. No more chocolate. No more cocktails.
Btw, I used to take Magnesium in citrate form. Is that what you normally suggest for supplementation?
BTW.. DH ate three beats for dinner hours before going to the ER. The nurse asked me on day two how many he ate cause he was still peeing red. We thought that was normal. Interesting to know it is not. Our ND didn't even mention it wasn't normal.

I like whole foods for nutrients. Natural Calm is mag citrate. That is the preferred supplemental form, imo. Come on over to the Allergies forum or Heal Thyself to start a thread about You, we'd be glad to help identify detox pathways, nutrient deficiencies, where to start. http://heal-thyself.ning.com/
My problems were digestive too as I had my gallbladder removed for pancreatitis (as did my husband two weeks ago) We had suffered from gallbladder attacks for over a year... but the pancreatitis was it, we were done.
BTW.. DH ate three beets for dinner hours before going to the ER. The nurse asked me on day two how many he ate cause he was still peeing red. We thought that was normal. Interesting to know it is not. Our ND didn't even mention it wasn't normal.
Yes, the pancreatitis screams detox issues, also gluten issues, I've heard. Food folate is HUGE with pancreatic issues. Research a bit on the MTHFR gene variation. Basically about 50% of us have it in North America. And it is associated with a lot of health issues, cancers (esophagus, lung, breast, pancreas, liver, colon, ovarian), allergies, asthma, diabetes, blood clots, strokes, heart disease, miscarriages, etc. Food folate helps to address the deficiencies.
Something comes before that.
Basically, toxins overwhelm the liver, causing bile obstruction concerns. Detox and liver cleanses help prevent this, imo. (caution while nursing, pregnant or ttc)

Now I am finally trying to clear up the Candida that I am sure I have. (Oh boy I had rashes all over two weeks after surgery.) The funny thing is I am under the care of an ND who didn't recommend much of that stuff for our gallbladder issues. I suffered with a 3 week attach last year and even had jaundice and she didn't recommend a lot of that stuff. Like I said.. DH and I have been trying for a year to clear things up....but it apparenlty wasn't working and I couldn't do a liver cleanse while nursing.
I think I might try one soon.
I'm not one for hard detox, especially with a history of mercury fillings or other allergy/intolerance/eczema issues already. It basically 'gets worse, before it gets better'. I'd rather see folks incorporate detox foods for natural healing and gut health balance.

Hi -
I'm new and consider myself to be pretty experienced in the world of natural eczema care. I've been helping manage my son's eczema for the past four years and he's gone from head-to-toe severe eczema, to occasional small patches here and there. So, he's about 95% better. Here's what I did to help him:
- Food eliminated (gluten, dairy, soy, corn, some tree nuts)
- Temporarily eliminated tomatoes, strawberries, and red peppers as they aggravated his skin when it was horribly flared up.
- Homeopathy: Dr. Reckweg 23, Homeodel 43 (both specifically for eczema)
- Immunoplex by Moducare
- Fish Oil (not sure if this has helped to be honest)
- Probiotics (again, not sure)
- Cod Liver Oil for vit A (also, not sure)
- Soap nuts with tea tree oil for laundry.
- ScratchMeNot mittens when itching is intense and scratching cannot be controlled.
- Calendulis Cream for calming flare ups.
- Manuka Honey Skin Cream for daily moisturizing
- Nablus Olive Oil soap for hand washing and baths.
I write a blog about our journey with eczema, allergies, and asthma. "It's an Itchy Little World" I'm always looking for parents to share their story of what worked for them, so please stop by and say hello.
My 3 1/2 month old daughter started developing eczema on her cheeks about a month ago, so I quickly came here to find out what could be causing it and realized it was food allergies. I was already following a very strict diet free from gluten, dairy, soy and corn, but I realized I should try taking out eggs and peanuts. I've seen a significant improvement, especially when I started using shea butter all throughout the day to moisturize her cheeks. But it's not completely better, and I'm thinking I should try taking out all nuts (I was still eating almonds for snacks).
Here's my question: if the eczema is minimal but it seems like she's mildly allergic to additional foods aside from those I've already taken out, is this a reason to continue my efforts for perfectly clear skin? In other words, is eczema evidence that there's some deeper health issue going on that I would be exacerbating if I continue to eat foods that produce a little redness?
My diet is already limited because I have colitis (I can't eat anything raw or eat sweet potatoes or bananas or tomatoes, for example), and I'm concerned about getting adequate nutrition if I continue to take out foods. But having my daughter healthy is the most important thing!
I would suggest you try to add some of the foods back in that you removed and watch for a reaction. If there is no reaction for a few days, then keep feeding that same food and no longer restrict it. Like you said, no need to restrict too much since you're already limited. It's not healthy for you or her. Then you can try some of the nuts - don't lump them all together, but try each nut. My son can tolerate some tree nuts and not others. Nuts are healthy and it's best to keep them in the diet.
Have you started her on a good dairy and soy free probiotic and fish oil supplement. I'd strongly suggest that as eczema is often linked with either a yeast overgrowth in the body or a leaky gut, which can both be helped with these supplements. So, yes. Usually eczema is an indication that the body is overly inflammed. Healing from within is crucial. But don't forget that external triggers can further irritate flared eczema. Moving to a natural laundry product like soap nuts may be a good idea.
Hi all!
My DD (almost 4yo) has had eczema since she was just a few weeks old. While I was nursing, I found (through an elimination diet) that her main trigger was eggs. Now, over time that has changed. She can now eat eggs without a flare-up, but too much fruit & she is an itchy, miserable girl. We found that coconut oil on her skin helps a lot, especially RIGHT after a shower. We only use soap when she really needs it, and usually use soap-free cleanser. She only gets a bath every 3-4 days (as per her doctor), and that seems to help. She has only had fruit juice less than a dozen times, as it seemed to cause a flare-up. Sometimes it gets to the point where the coconut oil isn't enough, and at that point we will use an OTC cream. 100% cotton for clothing is a big help.
The hardest part is that she LOVES water. She wants to 'swim' in the bath, run in the sprinklers, play with the water in the sink. We just try to keep it to short water play times, and it isn't too bad. She still wants more, but at least she doesn't feel like she can't have any fun!
Oh! we used to do oat baths too, but those seemed to help more when she was younger.
Sorry if that was a ramble, hahaha, it's getting late & I'm sleepy
So sorry for all dealing with eczema, but glad their are others to trade tips with!
So I was reading about cleaning your face with oil not soap. Since oil and water don't mix, it's hard to get oil off your face with water. So I started researching what oil to use and found http://www.ourhomemadehappiness.com/...-facewash.html Anyways I made up a bottle of 80% jojoba oil to 20% castor oil. So one night after my DD had her bath I was out of lotion I normally make and decided to just dab that on there. Come morning the eczema was about 90% gone! I've tried it lots since then and when I apply after a bath it clears it almost all up by the next morning. If I don't do it the eczema will come back, but this is the best solution I've found so far! If anyone else tries it let me know how it works for you!

That's the question over on The Verge: why is an ebook ever riddled with typos? It's an interesting point and one that must strike people as they stumble and stutter their way through something downloaded from Apple's iBooks or Amazon. The answer comes in two parts, each piece affecting a different part of the market. Both have the same root cause, which is that people just aren't paying enough attention to the production process.
The first part is in the self-produced and published realm. This is where a goodly portion of ebooks come from, after all. And the reason for so many typos here is that almost no self-publishers are passing their work under the nose of an editor. Perhaps this distinction is easier if I use the English English words, editor and subeditor (or "sub"). An editor decides on what is going to be published, how stories are going to be tackled. A sub does the work that is lacking here. Correcting typos, making sure sentences are whole, perhaps rewriting the occasional line to make it flow.
What almost everyone who hasn't worked for a newspaper doesn't understand is that all of the copy in anything has been passed under such a nose. The subs rescue many of us from the its/it's problems, dangling participles (not that I even know what that is) and so on. One of the things that everyone writing online has had to learn (or relearn!) is all of these rules. For we don't have subs online.
We've all also had to learn (or relearn) that subbing your own writing is near impossible. The eye just skips over some of the things that a writer is prone to. Sure, spellcheckers help but they're not perfect. And they won't help with grammar or the its/it's thing, or "arc" and "are".
So this is the first reason that many ebooks are filled with mistakes and typos. Many are being written by those who don't know about the vital function of the sub and wouldn't afford one even if they did. And given that it is incredibly difficult to sub your own work this might well be a problem that doesn't have a solution.
Then there's the second point:
Though I've only had the Kindle for three weeks, I've noticed that the book I've been reading, Foucault's Pendulum, has many typos. This isn't an out-of-copyright, cheaply made book from a fly-by-night press. This is marketed and published as a 2007 edition of the 1988 book by Mariner, an imprint of Houghton Mifflin. Its list price is $15.95, and it costs $8.77 on Amazon. Many of the typos — the letter "c" in place of what should be an "e" — appear to be the casualties of a hasty OCRing of some actual text of the work. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a process of scanning a book and using software which recognizes the scanned words as words, rather than merely as images, converting the images into text files. Anyone who has ever used OCR software knows that the process is far from perfect and always demands a serious attention to detail in the copy editing phase, once scanning is done, because the software doesn't "read" the text perfectly. This seems to be at least partially what is happening in my Kindle edition of Foucault's Pendulum, and it's unacceptable.
Unacceptable or not, that's what someone has done. Simply OCR'd the printed text and not subbed it through again. This is a problem that has a solution: other than just insisting that all OCR'd text gets subbed. Time will take care of it in fact. The translation dates back to 1988 or so, maybe a year earlier. It's most unlikely that they have the original software files for that translation. Or if they did that it's in a format they can still read. Thus the OCR of course. But for new titles that come out in ebook form this problem shouldn't occur. For all of the editing and subbing of the text will happen in software. And the ebook and the printed version will come from the same master copy of that subbed and perfect version. So new ebooks we would expect to be as free of (which isn't entirely but nearly so) typos as printed books.
