Faculty and Staff continue to be involved with the SFCColloquium which is scheduled
on Wednesday's from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM and funded primarily from S&A Cultural Series,
Speaker's Series and various Club accounts. This collaborative venture between the
various Instructional Departments and the Associated Students Activities Board enhances
the educational and multicultural experience for the entire college community.
Diversity films covering a broad array of topics are periodically added to the SFCC collection.
The following films were added to SFCC's collection under the auspices of a
Faculty Development cultural diversity grant.
Visit the SFCC Library to
view the films.
In November 1999 SFCC sent a 5-person team to the "Critical Moments" workshop sponsored
by Washington Center for Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Education. This
workshop focused on the development and teaching of case stories that would reflect
critical events in the educational experience of our "special populations" of students.
SFCC's team consisted of Rich Tucker (Assoc. Dean/Student Services), Adriana Bishop
(Physical Science faculty), Robert Schroeder (Library faculty), Barb Williamson
(Communications faculty), and a student.
In May 1997 SFCC participated in the "Multicultural Efforts Project, Round III",
also sponsored by the Washington Center. A two-day retreat was held at Spokane's
Bozarth Center for the six community colleges on the east side of the state.
Dr. Mark Palek
SFCC President
In addition to the information detailed in the
Faculty Involvement
page, SFCC sends members of its staff to seminars and
encourages other efforts toward achieving our diversity goals. Among them:
The recommendations presented for SFCC's curriculum transformation with respect
to diversity were developed by the Cultural Pluralism Team of Spokane Falls. The
momentum for curriculum transformation began during SFCC's accreditation process
in 1993 and continued into the critical dialogs emerging from our college involvement
in the Washington Center's Cultural Pluralism Project.
An important purpose of the Team was to look inside and outside the college community
Additionally, as the Team studied curriculum transformation models, it became apparent
the impressive number of colleges and universities across the state and nation who
have, or are designing curricula to incorporate the plurality of cultures worldwide
and, increasingly, within the United States.
Curricular transformation involves faculty development and collaboration. The SFCC
Cultural Pluralism Team, supported by the college administration, believes the future
level of achievement in this area will require the vision and expertise which results
from such collaboration among our various instructional departments. SFCC faculty
have formally adopted four abilities which are being taught across the college curriculum,
one of which is World View.
The World View ability ensures that diversity issues will be taught and discussed
across the SFCC curriculum. The curriculum approval process ensures these outcomes
will be addressed and assessed.
The Communications Department is the largest department at Spokane Falls with twenty-five
full time and approximately 25 adjunct faculty teaching in the seven disciplines
that form the department: English, Developmental Education (English and Reading),
Journalism, Drama, Foreign Languages, Speech, and Humanities. Because of the breadth
and nature of course offerings, the department has been a focus of curriculum transformation
that promotes college diversity efforts. An in-depth examination of this department's
efforts provides evidence of the implementation of some of Spokane Falls' most ambitious
strategies to have the curriculum and the instructional program support diversity.
As a result of faculty participation in the Washington Center's diversity project,
four new courses have been introduced into the curriculum:
One of these courses is offered each quarter, often paired with composition in a
learning community open to 40 students. The department offers three sections of
Intercultural Communications each quarter. In addition, the department has added
a Humanities 223 (Classic International Cinema) and Humanities 224 (Contemporary
Global Cinema). Faculty in literature have significantly changed curriculum to reflect
a canon that incorporates writing by people of color and women.
The College's Core Book Project is in its seventh year. The project's goal is to
increase reading across campus by selecting one or more books that could be incorporated
into classes across disciplines.
Members of the Communications Department are active in all college assessment activities
including the World View Ability Group that promotes students' awareness and appreciation
of diverse cultures. Faculty in the Communications Department were important organizers
of the Tibet Teach-in that exposed SFCC students to Tibet culture, history, politics,
and religion over three days in April 2000. The teach-in touched over 500 students
in classes as different as literature and gerontology. Faculty incorporated content
about Tibetan life into their classes and assignments. Student writing about Tibet
has been collected and was assessed not only for the quality of the composition,
but also for insights into the students' knowledge and appreciation of cultures
with different world views.
The SFCC Cultural Team's work resulted in three recommendations that are felt to
be central to a complete education for Spokane Falls' students:
These recommendations are viewed as the initial stage of a project which will require
an unwavering institutional commitment in order to overcome the barriers and resistance
to deep, systemic change. Strong, unyielding leadership is requested from the SFCC
Administrative team so that we can develop and follow a systematic and comprehensive
plan, with short and long-term goals.
The CCS Equity Council fosters an inclusive environment, promotes all types of diversity
and serves as a support network for the CCS community.
The CCS Equity Council organization is a collaborative body that offers a means
of bringing together CCS staff who can voice opinions on prevailing issues that
affect CCS.
By acting as a resource group providing input to CCS, this organization serves the
community as a support mechanism for the promotion of understanding, acceptance
and valuing of all cultures. The CCS Equity Council hopes to achieve an appreciation
of the richness of cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity and the many contributions
that have been made, and will continue to be made, by diverse groups throughout
the history of this nation.
The CCS Equity Council organization is fully recognized by the board of Trustees
as a district organization devoted to the achievement of this vision. The CCS Equity
Council serves as an advisory committee to District 17's Board of Trustees via the
Chief Executive Officer, and also to the community of Spokane.
From Accreditation 2003, one of SFCC's core values and goals is to encompass diversity
in our students, faculty, staff and community in the belief that it enriches our
learning and growth.
The Deccio Excellence in Equity Award is an award in memory of Garry Deccio. Deccio
was an instructor in the Human Services area at SFCC who devoted his life to providing
local community support services for families in distress and modeling his commitment
to equity through fairness, dignity and respect for others. In Gary's memory, CCS
initiated an annual award to recognize a member of the CCS community who has furthered
the cause of equity and diversity. The award is presented each year at the District
Fall Conference.
The Award is based on three (3) criteria:
Rhosetta Rhodes - 2005
Heather Keast - 2004
Jan Swinton - 1998
Pat Nasburg - 1996
Diane Lloyd - 1995
Denise Osei - 1994

BOOTLEG Newsprint No. 001
Features on feet and the people involved with feet. We think beauty is at every price point, in every community, in every age, culture and closet.
N 001 O FEATURED PHOTOGR APHERS: CHADWICK TYLER MAUR A SULLIVAN (ISSUED) SAR AH ELLISON LEWIS 1 DIRECTOR: LETTER FROM THE EDITOR SARAH ELLISON LEWIS, CREATIVE DIRECTOR Welcome to our world. I am from Texas. It forms all of my parts. From my obsession with nature, my innate connection with grandiose accessories, to virtue, and celebrating life. Art for me resides in places where there's room to breathe, room to think, room to rest. Calm, and kindness. People happy to be alive, who don't struggle much with who they are. BOOTLEG is the name of a tiny Texas town, from the Texas Handbook Online: BOOTLEG, TEXAS. There are two stories about the origin of its name. One associates the name with Moonshine Sheep Camp, where a moonshine still was once located; the campground was for cowboys and others traveling from La Plata to Endee, New Mexico. Another story has it that the community was named for a " bootleg school"–a small school building that was moved to various locations by agents selling land for the Capitol Syndicate so that prospective customers would believe there was a school near the land they were buying. During the 1930s Bootleg Corner experienced a boom of sorts after Louis Woodford converted the abandoned " bootleg school" building into a general store, which became a trading center for the western part of the county. I am a fashion stylist and have lived and worked in and out of New York City for ten long years. My work rarely feeds my soul. So, BOOTLEG was born out of an adoration of the connections I have with people, regarding the choices they make for their feet. I also found that no matter what was happening with my budget, shoes are always a good buy. For all the reasons you know and imagine, this is why BOOTLEG NEWSPRINT was created – to celebrate our connections through one simple thing – shoes. We hope to bring you: 1. Beautiful photography, with a journalistic, editorial element. We hope you connect strongly with our images. 2. Features on feet and the people involved with feet. We are quite sick of glossy commercial coverage of must-have product. We think beauty is at every price point, in every community, in every age, culture and closet. 3. Inspiration to connect with those around you. Encouragement to purchase something out of your comfort zone, as a celebration of life. A dialogue you may not have otherwise had. Designed and produced between New York City and Austin, Texas, and printed in Birmingham, Alabama. We are working on our website, www.bootlegnewsprint.com. Until then, you can request a copy of this paper at sarah@bootlegnewsprint. com, or just drop me a line. Sarah Ellison Lewis Founder / Creative Director BOOTLEG Newsprint COVER: Amazing hat by Albertus Swanepoel Photo: Chadwick Tyler 2 BOOTLEG www.bootlegnewsprint.com pg. 50 Chadwick Tyler, photographer Tiberius, whose haunting portraits depict 55 young women, each as their own wistful creature. Tyler Photographer Chadwick Tyler is has recently turned some of his a singular talent. His powerfully attention to fashion, having shot evocative images are unmistakeable for their representation the current Levi's® campaign with of his subject longing for release from creative director Mark Reddy. His work has also been featured in the mundane. At the forefront of a fashion magazines AnOther, Dazed new movement in aesthetics, Tyler's photography challenges contemporary and Confused, V, and Grey. notions of beauty by celebrating innocence and vulnerability. Currently Tyler is working on his first book, and 2 new gallery exhibits simultaneously. Tyler became known in the art world for his seminal gallery show SULLIVAN Maura Sullivan, fine art photographer What drives me to take pictures is my need to tell a story. I look for subjects who share a timeless beauty. I try and capture either the moment before something is about to happen, or directly afterward. I like the idea of mystery...walking through a dream that seems sort of familiar but you can't quite place. I usually prefer to go blindly into a space with my subject and let the story unravel spontaneously. I am very inspired by film and fiction, and often borrow the persona of certain characters to set the mood for my subjects. I am also very inspired by wardrobe and locations. I believe my most successful images create a sense of doubt as the whether the scene is true or false, modern or antique. "Some of my favorite shoes I bought in college at vintage and Sal-Val stores in upstate New York, mostly old-lady shoes with the labels all worn off, tons of fine lines, amazing details and lots of great scuffs." LOPANO Sean Lopano design director It's not often a graphics designer has their own Leica with a macro lens, or a boot collection. But that's why we love Sean, in addition to his completely unrelenting fight for his vision, and amazing glasses. There's nothing more fantastic than meeting in the middle, and everyone being the better for it. Thanks to Sean, we all grow. With a focus on design from the University of Texas, and countless accolades and awards at not-even 30, he's evermore inspiring. PHOTOGRAPHERS & DESIGNER: TYLER Also bounding between both coasts (Texas and New York) as needed, he cut his teeth at proper overheadbin usage and the proper boots to quickly pass through security. On Sundays, you can find him sunning, bathing or both. "I love designing Bootleg, because I am able to work on the combination of my three favorite things: boots/ footwear, graphic design and photography (amazing photography). Pitting 1940's German and French "It was fun to play on this shoot." Sarah: "What do you do on Sundays?" Chadwick: "I like to go fishing, Sunday is my day to fish." Sarah: "What if your favorite shoe? Chadwick: "My right Red Wing boot my dog Gracie modified the top of the tongue by chewing it off." www.chadwicktyler.com pg. 28 "What I loved about working with Sarah was it was more about making art and finding the story, instead of working in a box. The poetic choices of shoes and wardrobe seamlessly fused with the vintage layers of the old mansion-romantic feel of the space. Burned sweaters and yes, old-lady shoes, waltzed comfortably between the rooms occasionally interrupted by a pair of sexy leather hot-pants, bed-head and no make-up...for the perfect cinematic film noir twist." www.maurasullivan.com ALL typefaces against one another always makes me smile." "I have 31 pairs of boots in my collection, ranging from vintage English oxblood ranger boots, to Gucci equestrian, and many pairs of handmade Wesco engineering and logger boots. It's been an obsession my entire life." www.lopano.com 3 SARAH ELLISON LEWIS: N 001.01 O "PARIS LOW DOWN" I am starting a shoe store called Bootleg Austin, so I have been hitting trade shows for a while now. Paris of course is so alive. I photographed the way that I see things - from clusters of feet to clever piles of everyday objects. The beauty of life is simply authentic. Every moment is as valuable as the most memorable moments. I see life in slow motion sometimes. I am overwhelmed at the beauty of movement, seeing life and how folks express themselves, starting with the shoe. Sometimes it's relevant, sometimes it's not. What's most relevant is, we all have to wear shoes. For me they are the counterpoint to the earth. I never see someone without seeing their feet. But I don't miss what's going on around me. I couldn't miss it if I tried. It's enough for me. 4 BOOTLEG www.bootlegnewsprint.com Saturday in the Buttes Chaumont 5 On the Seine River edge. 6 BOOTLEG www.bootlegnewsprint.com Near MusĂŠe Picasso 7 Pedestrians and shoppers at lunchtime on Rue St. Germain. 8 BOOTLEG www.bootlegnewsprint.com In la Marais, Paris, in my Giuseppe Zanotti strappy stack suede heels I found for a steal at Beacon's Closet in Brooklyn, New York.

The northeastern portion of a multiuse trail through St. Lawrence County that has been in the works for years could open within weeks.
We are making signs to finish the road portion, county Highway Superintendent Toby W. Bogart said. It wont take us long to put them up. Were still hoping for this by the end of the month.
The trail, meant for many uses such as snowmobiling, hiking, dog sledding, biking and riding all-terrain vehicles eventually will provide a corridor from Lewis County through St. Lawrence County to Franklin County. The North Country Regional Economic Development Council awarded the county $500,000 toward the trail system, which organizers hope will be a draw for tourism and recreation.
The northeast section from the Franklin County border at Lake Ozonia toward Parishville and Colton is opening first because it has the fewest problems. A section on county forestland that will provide offshoots off the main trail will open later, after it has been charted.
The center portion of the trail within the Adirondack Park could open next year after the state Department of Environmental Conservation finalizes its unit management plans for the area. The county is working with DEC and some large timber owners along the southern section of the trail to solve easement issues.
To get the southeast portion opened, its possible that will happen later this year as well, Mr. Bogart said.
The southern portion of the trail may include an alternative path when active logging or hunting is going on, he said.
Approval for a crossing below Rainbow Falls Dam in Parishville is proceeding smoothly with the support of dam owner Brookfield Renewable Energy Group, but a number of agreements still are needed, Mr. Bogart said.
On March 4, Robert G. Campbell, 78, Norwood, and Robert P. Whalen, 87, Canton, crashed through ice and drowned while trying to cross the reservoir, making safe passage a priority.
Brookfield really wants to see the bridge go across. So does the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Mr. Bogart said.
Overall, the trail will make use of existing roadways, such as logging trails that are wide and graveled, but generally avoid paved roads, he said.

Lost all my projects
I signed in via google and
all my projects vanished!
Mr. B
All responses
Hello Mr. B,
If you've had a Todoist account linked to a different email address and then created a new account using your Google Account then, in order to link your existing account, please log in with GMail, then go to Preferences (gear icon in upper-right corner) -> Authorizations and deauthorize Google, then change the email address of this account. Now you'll be able to reuse this address with your existing account (change it in the Preferences -> Account section) and then authorize Google.
If you've always used your Google Account with Todoist and today all tasks and projects are gone, please log out, clear your browser's cache and offline data, reload the browser and log back in.
Best regards,
The gear icon only has settings.
and I could not find Authorizations.
Hell Mr. B,
Please click on "Settings" to see a popup window with multiple tabs. one of these tabs is "Authorizations".
Best regards,
These are my only tabs. http://gyazo.com/2478efb69f31c257e76147c9d6f22ed9
no authorizations.
Sorry about that, that section has recently changed. It would be Settings, then Account, and it's listed at the bottom of that page.
Hi! thank you for your reply.
The bottom of my page says it has been connected to my gmail but I do not see the plugin tab that is supposed to be below my email entries. The one labeled todoist at the bottom of the email page but I did see it in one of the other emails managed for me, but not on the actual email that I connected it with. How cant his be remedied? thank you.
Hello Richie,
There are two separate topics here:
1. Linking an account with Gmail - this can be done so that you can log into Todoist using your Google Login. This has nothing to do with our Gmail plugin or adding emails as tasks.
2. Using our Gmail plugin - this is possible after installing it from https://todoist.com/gmail If you log into your Todoist account using Gmail and it's the same Gmail account that you use to manage your email, it will work. If you want to use a different Gmail Inbox from a different Gmail address, then you should use manual login to Todoist which can be done after setting a password for your Todoist account in Settings -> Account otherwise, it will log you into the same Google Account as the one you use for mail.
Best regards,

Charitable vs. Non-charitable Grants & Contributions
Private funders can award grants for different purposes. CFR solicits "charitable" grants and contributions whereas the CSUF Office of Grants & Contracts (OGC) solicits "non-charitable" grants and contracts.
While OGC primarily focuses on government funding sources, it also assists faculty in submitting grant applications and proposals to private funders for "non-charitable" projects. These are usually contracted services such as a research project that benefits the funder and includes a specific set of deliverables due to the funder during or at the end of the project. Hypothetical examples of "non-charitable" grants would be: a survey of consumer attitudes on automobile fuel efficiency for Ford Motor Company; an engineering study of the effects of wind turbulence on airplane wings for Boeing; or the human physiological effects of chocolate for Hershey.
CFR assists faculty with applications and proposals for "charitable" grants and contributions. These are for charitable purposes where the funds are given to carry out a project or program that will benefit a third party or parties (e.g., target population) and not the funder. Hypothetical examples of 'charitable' grants and contributions would be: a new building or equipment to better serve students; a collaborative project with a local elementary school to improve science education; or an outreach program for arts.
Project-Centered Approach
As different types of funders have contrasting styles of grantmaking, a different approach must be used for each type. Government agencies and some private funders solicit proposals for projects that are of interest to them through Requests for Proposals (RFPs). These usually spell out the exact goals and objectives of the grant program; application and project timelines; funding range or amount; require an end product; and typically fund the entire amount needed for the project.
On the charitable giving side, funders usually do not specify anything more than general areas of interest, e.g., education, health, science or the arts. Most corporate giving programs and private foundations do not solicit proposals. They typically do not specify what kinds of projects or goals they will support; do not have application or project timelines; do not have funding ranges or grant amount limits; do not require a specified set of deliverables (other than grant reports); and generally will not provide 100 percent funding for most projects.
Because of these fundamental differences, a different strategy must be employed when seeking charitable grants and contributions. CFR suggests that faculty members develop project ideas first, rather than looking for funding opportunities that might match their needs. Once a project idea has been created, then University Advancement can work with you to develop a strategy for identifying and pursuing the most likely sources of private funds.

Mysterious RomagnaAs sunrise and sunset mark the day, an air of mystery shrouds the night. San Leo, once known as Montefeltro, is built on an enormous rocky mass in the Valmarecchia at about 600 metres above sea level and only 32 km from Rimini. Its name derives from its old evangelizer, Saint Leo, who regarded the area as ideal for the diffusion of Christianity. Its impregnable position permitted the development of a society in which public, military, religious and political order reigned. Some of its better known guests have included Dante ('Vassi in San Leo…') and Saint Francis of Assisi. The rocca (fortress) is a distinguished testimony to the art of warfare, from where the gaze contemplates a landscape of woods, rocky peaks, villages and country houses from Mount Fumaiolo to the Adriatic sea.

Sept. 25 is National Comic Book Day, which makes it the perfect time to throw a superhero-themed party for your kid's birthday. Hickory Farms is here to save the day with our collection of superhero-inspired recipes. With these dishes, your child's birthday party will be a smashing success.
Wake your little superhero up to a great birthday breakfast with these Captain America Super Power Pancakes. Slice up some fresh strawberries and place them on top of a couple pancakes hot off the griddle. Then, fill the middle with halved blueberries. Spray a circle of whipped cream around the strawberries and add a whipped cream star against the backdrop of blueberries.
Spiderman Strawberry Shortcakes are delicious and so easy to make! Individual shortcakes should be sprayed with whipped topping before sliced strawberries are added in the shape of this season's favorite superhero's face. Use mini chocolate chips to outline the eyes, and then fill in the outlines with more whipped topping.
Guests will love these Batman Burgers topped with our Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese. Mold the burgers to resemble a face, and then after they're cooked, trim the top in the shape of Batman ears. Use pieces of the cheese as eyes and create the face by cutting a little slit in the cheese for Batman's mouth. You can also cut the cheese into the Batman logo and design his cape with barbecue sauce.
Superhero Skewers are a big hit with younger kids. Not only is this treat super tasty, but it's also an easy way to incorporate superhero stickers. Juicy fruits will keep kids healthy, while giving the party a festive touch. Hickory Farms Bountiful Tastings gourmet food basket is stocked full of delectable fresh pears, kiwis, oranges and apples, perfect for this nutritionally balanced treat.
At Hickory Farms, we know how to pump up the volume for birthdays of all ages. All of our gourmet delights can be shipped right to a recipient's door just in time for the party. Call 800.753.8558, or order online 24 hours a day.

I've done a bit of planning and outlining for the book that I'll be writing for National Novel Writers Month. I'm really looking forward to getting started today. This will (hopefully) be the first book that I've ever written, and honestly the challenge is a bit intimidating.
I'll be keeping track of my progress here and on my NaNoWriMo account.

This week Peugeot sealed the deal with Dongfeng, local squatters beat "Downton Abbey" to trademark registration and Chinese and Sri Lankan foreign ministers accelerated FTA talks

Peugeot and Dongfeng tie-up
China's Dongfeng Motor Group and PSA
Peugeot Citroen have agreed to a capital tie-up. Dongfeng and
the French government will each inject 800 million Euros for
14% stakes in Peugeot, turning state-owned Dongfeng into one of
Peugeot's largest shareholders. While Peugeot was
founded two centuries ago at the dawn of the industrial
revolution, Dongfeng is an auto industry newcomer, although the
second-biggest Chinese auto maker has big plans for global
expansion. The deal is expected to reverse
Peugeot's sales slump, but it also results in one
of France's oldest industrial dynasties losing
control of a historical company. The Peugeot family will have
its number of board seats reduced and Thierry Peugeot lose his
chairman post. The French government, Dongfeng, and the Peugeot
family will each have two board seats.
Financial Times
The Wall Street Journal
Although the French carmaker already has a successful JV with
Dongfeng in China, the global auto industry race left them
struggling behind in sales. While competitors like Volkswagen,
Fiat and Renault have secured international markets, Peugeot
has been criticised for clinging too tightly onto tradition and
control, and for being unable to adapt quickly enough in the
rapidly-globalising business. The family has failed to form
transformative alliances, such as its aborted attempts to work
with Mitsubishi and BMW. Meanwhile, Dongfeng produces the
majority of its cars with partners like Nissan and Honda, and
its Asia expansion will be bolstered by Peugeot's
brand name and higher-end technology. However, having three
equal shareholders may pose difficulties, given the language
barriers and direct government ties to ownership.

Downton Abbey loses trademark race
Several Chinese entrepreneurs have been granted
registrations for "Downton" and "Downton Abbey" for their wine,
spirits, jewellery, and other merchandise, with perfume and
make-up soon to follow. Despite high Chinese viewership, the
creators of the TV series Downton Abbey failed to register a
trademark in China before local businessmen took advantage of
the first-to-file system. The current trademark law only allows
holders of influential or well-known marks in China to petition
to cancel an identical or similar mark in a dissimilar category
of goods. However, the new trademark law, which comes into
effect in May, allows owners of well-known foreign marks not
registered in China to petition and gives them five years to
contest dissimilar marks registered in China.
Intellectual Property Brief
There are no impressive changes in the new trademark
regulations; the office remains conservative and implementation
is still unclear. Foreign companies have long been victimised
as their overseas fame is taken advantage of by local
businesses that beat them in a race to the office. It can be
difficult to attack these squatters – Article 31 of
the implementing regulations states a certain level of market
influence in China is required to file in bad faith. But 'bad
faith' isn't defined, and neither is
level of influence. Downton Abbey won a Sichuan Film Festival
award and fuelled fashion and architectural trends in Shanghai,
but is this is influential enough for the authorities to block
the trademark squatters?

China-Sri Lanka FTA to be finalised this year
Sri Lanka's foreign minister GL Peiris
and China's vice president Li Yuanchao have
announced an agreement to fast track negotiations to conclude
the two nations' free trade agreement. The
proposed FTA will help Sri Lanka reach its target economic
growth of 7.5% per year and give it greater access to
China's large and growing consumer market.
China's increasing affluence and demand for gems
will also lead to an immediate economic boost – Sri
Lanka's gem industry is currently worth around
$600 million in exports and is predicted to reach $1 billion by
2015. Political ties have also been strengthened via
China's massive funding of infrastructure projects
in Sri Lanka following the end of its 30-year civil war in
2009. The country is also moving toward diversifying its
economy and greatly expanding its service, banking, insurance
and IT sectors. The two countries aim to sign the FTA by the
end of the year.
Asia Briefing
China is said to be one of the biggest contributors to Sri
Lanka's economy in terms of development assistance
(total $4 billion). The past four years for Sri Lanka have been
a scramble for reconstruction and rehabilitation, but the
country's economy grew 7.2% in 2013. It continues
to reduce dependence on traditional agricultural exports and
find new areas for growth such as in clothing, cinnamon and
precious stones. Sri Lanka also expects greater Chinese tourism
and the two are also in talks for a greater maritime
cooperation. Its increasingly tight ties have unsettled India,
Sri Lanka's traditionally closest economic partner
and China's modern rival. China recently signed a
series of FTAs with smaller economies like New Zealand,
Switzerland and Iceland, but it is also negotiating more
significant ones with Australia, South Korea and Japan. Maybe
it is swinging its doors wide open after all.

Gandhi may have been non-violent, but he could hurt people nonetheless.
Hearts of Darkness
June 10, 2013
Was there ever really a British Empire? Cartographers certainly wanted you to think so.
The Known Unknowns
June 07, 2012
The Inner Life of Empires: An Eighteenth-Century HistoryBy Emma Rothschild (Princeton University Press, 483 pp., $35) BY A RURAL SCOTTISH river on an early summer's day in 1771, someone makes a catch: a package wrapped in cloth, and inside the cloth, a baby boy, and on his tiny sodden body "the marks of violence" that may have caused his death. It does not take long to identify a suspect, the infant's mother, who works in a nearby household. She is brought to the local sheriff's court, interrogated, and charged with the murder of her son. Every suspect, by definition, invites doubt.
The Trouble With Neutrality
September 14, 2011
A World on Fire: Britain's Crucial Role in the American Civil War By Amanda Foreman (Random House, 958 pp., $35) The world's biggest superpower has a problem. The citizens of a nation overseas have risen up against their tyrannical rulers, determined to claim liberty even if it takes a civil war. As the most powerful global advocate of freedom, the superpower has to admire the rebels' cause. Should it help them? Humanitarians argue that intervention can prevent hundreds of thousands of civilians from suffering hideous state-sponsored subjugation.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).
AUTHORS: Hergenhahn, B. R. - ©2009
Dreams puzzled early man, Greek philosophers spun elaborate theories to explain human memory and perception, Descartes postulated that the brain was filled with "animal spirits," and psychology was officially deemed a "science" in the 19th century. In this Fifth Edition, B.R. Hergenhahn demonstrates that most of the concerns of contemporary psychologists are manifestations of themes that have been part of psychology for hundreds-or even thousands-of years. The book's numerous photographs and pedagogical devices, along with its biographical material on key figures in psychology, will engage you and facilitate your understanding of each chapter.

LiquidSonics' Reverberate is a highly efficient hybrid convolution reverb audio processor offering true zero-latency operation for two separate, stereo impulse responses for Mac and PC supporting VST, Audio Units, AAX and RTAS.
Creative Convolution
Reverberate provides a rich and dynamic reverb from impulse responses by modulating an amalgamation of two, separately controllable true stereo IRs using an LFO. Further modulation is possible using the post-processing effects; an all-pass interpolator chorus and delay unit provide a fuller sound and an over-sampled analogue prototype paragraphic equaliser is provided with dual LFOs. These features make for a livelier, more creative sound than typically associated with some convolution reverbs.
In addition to loading impulse responses from audio files Reverberate is able to generate supplementary independent early reflections and tails for additional control over a room's sonic characteristics.
- Dual true-stereo convolution reverb
- Zero latency (or select up to 8192 samples latency)
- 250 categorised presets (400 MB of IRs)
- Early reflections and tails modules
- SplitMod early/late pitch modulation
- True stereo simulation for stereo IRs
- Double oversampled EQ with modulation per IR
- Linear-interpolation choruses for IR1, IR2 and post effects
- Stereo delays with modulation for IR2, IR2 and post effects
- Post EQ with LFO modulation
- Modulation via MIDI-CC
- Stereo widener with anti-phase reduction
- ADSHR envelopes with shape control
- Low CPU downsampling mode option
- Presence filter for adding synthetic high frequency content to dark IRs
- Impulse response chaining
- Neon Blue or Soft Green skin options
- Integrated preset and sample browsers
- Drag and drop IRs from OS file browsers
- Wav, WIR, SDIR, Aiff and Flac file support
- 32/64-bit VST, AU and AAX on Mac and PC
- Precise parameter entry
- Recursive lost files search

Full Download Including Free 30-Day Demo
Click the link at the top right of the page to download the software. Each download contains the full and demo versions of Reverberate.
The demo will function for 30 days and after this period audio will not be processed until you supply a license file (provided via email upon purchase). Please fully evaluate the software in the demo mode before purchasing to ensure it meets your needs and that it is compatible with your system and impulse response libraries (license transfers or refunds beyond the first 7 days of ownership are not provided).
Press Coverage
Computer Music UK (September 2009 Edition): `Reverberate stands up to the competition in terms of sound quality, and the additional modulation options make it an absolute steal` and on the modulation: `In practice, it is very effective, and offers creative potential too`. Download the demo to try it out yourself!
Sound On Sound UK (April 2010 Edition): `Overall, I was most impressed. Affordable it may be, but Reverberate is a sophisticated product with few of the rough edges one often finds in budget software` and `It is straightforward to use, and in its stated aim of bringing life and movement to convolution reverb, it succeeds admirably`.
Presets and Impulse Responses
Reverberate is supplied with a number of presets and impulse responses in order to provide an overview of the plug-in's capabilities, but we strongly encourage you to seek additional impulse responses and experiment with Reverberate's modulation capabilities. Whilst there are many outstanding commercial DVD IR libraries there are some excellent, well respected packages available online such as those at STN (rhythminmind.net), Samplicity, OpenAIR (UK-based sampled IRs) and more links at KVR.
Reverberate M7 Presets for the Samplicity M7 library may be downloaded free of charge.

I love goat meat. Seriously. When I went o college down here many decades ago, my sister and brother in law raised and slaughtered there own. Used to have a top-notch goat stew (made exactly the same as beef stew but using goat). Not gamey at all, but I seem to recall you had to mix some pork or pork fat into it when you gind it since it's so lean. Good stuff.

It's standard advice for college applicants: apply to "reaches," "matches," and "safeties."
However, as admit rates have dwindled and college costs have risen in recent years, the counseling field, as a whole, has gotten more conservative in its definition of a "match." The current thinking, as outlined in the Washington Post, is that "matches" shouldn't be schools at which you'd be just an average freshman. Rather, they should be schools at which your credentials (e.g., high school GPA, test scores) surpass those of 75 percent or more of current freshmen. Yes, "matches" are now schools for which you're somewhat overqualified.
Submitting the majority of your applications to such colleges can do the following for you:
- Boost the number of acceptance letters you receive.
- Make you likely to receive better financial aid packages.
(Regarding the latter, even need-based financial aid fluctuates in its amount as well as its quality—i.e., grant-heavy vs. loan-heavy—depending on how much a given school wants you to attend.)
If you select your "match" schools with this new definition in mind, you're likely to have a greater number of palatable options (i.e., acceptance letters from colleges offering generous aid) at the end of the application process. Click here to read more on the Washington Post.

City Hall in downtown Rochester.

For those who think new Mayor Lovely Warren's hiring of her uncle to lead a security team to protect her is a form of nepotism, that is ridiculous. If we are going to investigate our leaders for nepotism, we need to investigate every public and political leader of our community. There is no need to investigate the mayor.
In fact, nepotism is demonstrated among all our public and political leaders, only in a different form, so why give the mayor a difficult time? It is not a good way to start the new year. The public needs to let her do her job.
We need to focus on fighting crime, improving public education, communities, race relations and creating jobs within our communities. If we focus more on these issues, I believe it would benefit our children, families and the Rochester community.

BOSTON' Andrew H. Card, Jr., chief of staff to the President of the United States, was awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree by Suffolk University Law School at its commencement exercises held on Sunday, May 20, at the FleetCenter.
Suffolk President David J. Sargent, who presided over the 10:00 a.m. commencement exercises, cited Card, the Suffolk University Law School commencement speaker, for his "outstanding public service and awesome responsibility as the right hand man to the President of the United StatesÖand in recognition of the well deserved reputation for combining great ability with enormous decency."
On November 26, 2000, Card was appointed chief of staff in the presidential administration of Texas Governor George W. Bush. Card has an impressive record in the public and private sector, including serving in the administrations of two former presidents.
From 1992 until 1993, Card served as the U.S. Secretary of Transportation under President George Bush, and directed President Bushís transition office during the transition from the Bush administration to the Clinton administration.
Prior to serving as secretary of transportation, Card served as President Bushís assistant and deputy chief of staff. He managed the daily operations of the White House staff and participated in the development of economic, foreign and domestic policy. During the Reagan Administration, Card served as special assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs and later as deputy assistant to the president and director of intergovernmental affairs, where he was liaison to governors, state legislators and other elected officials.
From 1993 to 1998, Card was president and CEO of the American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA). Since then, he has served as General Motorsí vice president of governmental relations. In addition, Card served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1975-1983.
Card graduated from the University of South Carolina with a bachelor of science degree in engineering. He attended the United States Merchant Marine Academy and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and has received numerous honorary degrees and awards.
A native of Holbrook,MA, Card and his wife, Kathleen, have three children and four grandchildren.
Also receiving honorary doctor of laws degrees at the Law School exercises were: Ralph F. Boyd, Jr., President Bushís designee as assistant attorney general and chief of the civil rights division of the U.S. Department of Justice. He is also is a partner in the trial department of Goodwin Proctor LLP in Boston; Linda Stewart Dalianis, associate justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court and a 1974 graduate of Suffolk University Law School; The Honorable Richard E. Neal, Congressman, U.S. House of Representatives, Massachusetts, second district; and Evett L. Simmons, president of the National Bar Association. She also is equity partner in the law firm of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A. in Florida.
Claire Shipman, senior national correspondent of ABC Newsí Good Morning America, delivered the commencement address to the graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and the Sawyer School of Management (SSOM) at the 2:30 p.m. ceremony. She received an honorary doctor of humane letters degrees. In addition to Shipman, the CAS and SSOM awarded honorary degrees to: Jack Connors, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos, Inc; Terry J. Lundgren, president & chief merchandising officer of Federated Department Stores, Inc.; Lawrence OíDonnell, Jr., senior political analyst of MSNBC and writer/producer of the NBC Emmy Award winning drama, "The West Wing"; Lloyd Ross, former chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Tuesday Morning Corporation; and Andre Sonko, special consultant on higher education to the President of Senegal and former minister of education, Senegal.

Carnival of the Green #114 11 Feb 08
Hello and Welcome to Mad Eejits, your hosts for the 114th Carnival of the Green. Last week's carnival was hosted by the Tao of Change and next week's will be available on the Greener Side.
Life Goggles start us off with a most topical submission on How To Have An Eco Friendly Valentine's Day. They've also included some product reviews, including The Green Book, a Moon Jar and some Natural Shaving Soap.
Continuing in the reviews theme, Jean-Paul Davidson, at Green Deals Daily, submitted a video review of the AeroGarden that lets you grow veggies and herbs where you eat them. Food doesn't get much more local than that.
Mel Rimmer of Bean Sprouts has taken a look at some new websites getting the green message through to the iPod generation, and encourages everyone, even "crusty oldsters", to pay them a visit.
Emmett Duffy (The Natural Patriot) has posted a thought provoking article, asking Are nations obsolete?. Given that in years to come, we may all face the common foe of climate change, which does not distinguish between countries nor pay attention to borders drawn on maps, is it time to change how we look at ourselves and our nations?
Over on EcoStreet, Tracy has started a series on "Green Parenting", with part one covering Pregnancy and New Baby, and she notes:
"Becoming a parent is often the catalyst for becoming greener. Suddenly being aware that our children are going to be inhabiting a planet that we've helped to ruin could even turn our lives right around."
That certainly played a big part in our own decision to be more eco-friendly.
From favouring digital music downloads to recycling electronic goods, David at The Good Human has provided a simple guide to Greening Your Consumption Habits.
Poor Beth, at Fake Plastic Fish, sounds like she's been having a trying time with ants, cats and home-made hairspray but its helped her to recognize reality as it is and to work to create positive change in the world, without struggle.
Dave Pollard, in his How to Save the World blog, wonders what the future of world would be if humans manage to wipe themselves out and how the planet might recover without us.
Deirdre Helfferich, at the Ester Republic, likens some acts of real-life ecopiracy, to the character Philo DuFresne in the book "Gas, Sewer & Electric" by Matt Ruff and comments:
"My suspicion is that as the situation in the environment grows more dire, we're going to see many more acts of ecopiracy, and many many more peaceable protests labeled 'eco-terrorism' because the activism goes against somebody's corporate bottom line."
On the Savvy Vegetarian, Judith Kingsbury blogs on a Common Dreams article about biofuels from food crops (not the way to go), plus the even more interesting posted comments, such as the one on hemp.
And last, but by no means least, Sally at Veggie Revolution looks at how China's change in diet, as their growing population becomes more industrialized, will have major consequences for world water consumption.
That's all for this week folks. If you'd like to participate in or host a future Carnival of the Green yourself, Treehugger has all the details. If you're still looking for something more to read, why not find out a little about us (the Mad Eejits) and what we've changed over the last year to try to be "greener".

Avastin + Chemo for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer?
We've watched with interest as the pendulum has swung back and forth over the years on the possible efficacy of agents that block Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), a molecule that mediates angiogenesis (the vascular growth that occurs in tumors). Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody to VEGF, is known as Avastin and is manufactured by Genentech. It is approved in distinct circumstances for the treatment of colorectal, lung, kidney and brain cancers. One of Avastin's side-effects in certain patients is high blood pressure.
The idea of Avastin is to interfere with the mechanism that allows for pancreatic cancer tumor growth and spread.
Researchers from Ohio State University recently published a study in the Annals of Oncology where they described their Phase II study that included adding bevacizumab to gemcitabine followed by an infusion of 5-FU to about forty patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The progression-free survival at six months in this group was found to be 49% of the evaluable patients – which met their endpoint hypothesis of > 41%. They recommend further testing with this regimen in advanced pancreatic cancer "in combination with fluoropyrimidine-based therapy" (that is: 5-FU like). And they add an interesting side note suggestion for future researchers to see if the development of high blood pressure with this regimen (presumably from the Avastin) might be a sign of greater efficacy for those individual patients who do.
A past study which had not been so kind to the use of Avastin was the Phase III trial of the Cancer and Leukemia Group B, reported out in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in August, 2010.
"CONCLUSION: The addition of bevacizumab to gemcitabine does not improve survival in advanced pancreatic cancer patients."
It is an interesting distinction: Avastin plus gemcitabine (2010 study – not promising) versus Avastin (plus gemcitabine) plus 5-FU (current more promising results) for advanced pancreatic cancer.
Dale O'Brien, MD
Does the Starting Time of Chemo After Surgery Matter?
There has not been very much study on when "adjuvant" chemotherapy should begin after pancreatic cancer surgery (this process of chemo AFTER surgery is called adjuvant therapy). What is known is that adjuvant chemotherapy tends to confer a significant survival boost to pancreatic cancer patients. And perhaps it is fair to say that it has generally been assumed as to the timing of the start of this chemotherapy – that it should begin after the immediate effects of surgery have been weathered by the patient – and when that the patient is well enough to begin to accept the side-effects of the chemo. But, does this timing have more significance than is generally believed?
Sueda and associates from Hiroshima University in Japan recently reviewed the records of 104 patients who received chemotherapy after potentially curable surgery in pancreatic cancer – dividing the patients into two groups: those who began the chemo more than or less than 20 days after the day of the pancreatic cancer surgery. They found that those who had received the chemotherapy earlier in the process had significantly better 5-year survival rates (52% vs. 26%). One factor of note is that the early chemo group tended to have had fewer after-surgery complications. So, might these surgical complications be a tell – that the later group was not as predisposed to survival? In any case, this surprising finding is worth considering – and deserves more study.

New Use for a Bad Old Drug (Thalidomide)
Those of a certain age will remember the terrible congenital malformations fifty years on due to the prenatal use of thalidomide. Gradually in certain circumstances thalidomide use has made a cautious comeback in medicine – now including for pancreatic cancer.
Chinese researchers from Shang Dong Tumor Hospital in Jinan, China have published an interesting Phase II clinical study in the November issue of Pancreatology that looked at capecitabine (Xeloda) in combination with thalidomide as a possible second-line treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer in those who were refractory to gemcitabine treatment. Their conclusion was that this combination was reasonably well tolerated, and showed reasonable response in certain pancreatic cancer patients with advanced disease. Of 31 patients, two demonstrated a partial response and eleven patients showed stable disease.
Sometimes you can use an old dog for new tricks.

SPRING CHINOOK on the Rogue River
There is probably no better fighting or eating fish than the Spring Chinook Salmon. These chrome bright, also known as, "Springers" return from the ocean from mid-April through the end of June.
In April and May, on the lower part of the river, we anchor our jetboat alongside the river and wait for schools of these 12-30# scrappers to arrive. We may try several spots in a day or stick with our best known spot all day. Anchovies and spinners seem to work best.
As these "Springers" arrive near their spawning beds, 120-150 miles up river, near Medford, we prefer using our drift boats. To entice these powerful tug-a-war specialists, we either back-bounce bait or back-troll large plugs in the deepest holes and bedrock slots. Fishing continues through July on the upper Rogue for these delectable trophies.
When: April through July
Cost per day for jetboat: $300 for one fisherman, $400 for 2, $500 for 3, $600 for 4
Cost per day for driftboat: $300 for one, $400 for two – lodging and meals extra
10% discount for second and each subsequent day of fishing

"American Utopias," Mike Daisey's new monologue set to open in March at Woolly Mammoth, will be presented by Woolly interns as a one-night-only premiere performance on Sunday. Proceeds from the show will benefit the interns, the adorably named Tiny Mammoths, per Daisey's request.
"I'm always interested in how interns are paid, and it's always terrible," said Daisey, whose interest in American theater labor standards goes back to his monologue "How Theater Failed America," which he performed at Woolly in 2009. "The stipend is incredibly small, and there's no way the stipend can cover any housing. I don't think you can feed yourself."

Quite possibly the Ruby Slippers of cycling shoes, the Sidi Genius 6.6 Carbon Lite Shoe is bound for the podium, or Kansas, whichever you desire most . The Genius 6.6 features a durable Lorica/ mesh upper and a five-year warranty so you don't have to worry about new kicks, at least for a few seasons. The soft arch compression strap and Ultra buckle system provide a super-snug fit without numbness, and the light 6.6 carbon sole is stiffer than the frozen Snickers bar you tried to bite into last week.
- Reinforced heel holds foot in position
- Micro-release buckle allows for easy adjustment while riding
- Patented Heel Cup System (HCS) mechanism tightens the top of the heel cup eliminating heel-lift

SIDI 6.6 Carbon Lite = Happy Feet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Incredibly stiff AND comfortable right out of the box. Excellent transfer of power to the pedals with typical superior quality from Sidi. Patent finish easier to keep clean than the standard lorica, and these 45.5's fit the same as my lesser priced genius models.

Write your question here...Looking for some shoes, these will be my first pair of clippless shoes? So, need to now how these fit. I wear a 91/2 --10. Can anyone tell me if they run big?

Looking at these 6.6, I have read that they run 1/2 size larger than the 5 pro. Is that correct?
Thank you
I was wondering if this specific shoe is...
I was wondering if this specific shoe is SPD compatible
No. This is 3 hole shoe. SPD is 2 hole.
Even if it would be compatible, why even consider pairing an SPD system with a $400 carbon road shoe?
A little pricey but are a great investment. I found the Sidi's to be comfortable right out of the box. I recommend an upgrade on the insole to enhance comfort even more. The 6.6's have proven to be durable and can easily be repaired with easy to find replacement parts.
so what you're saying is that I should upgrade the insole of a $400 shoe?
...if you want "to enhance comfort even more".
Incredibly comfortable without breaking in
The reviewers are right. These may not be the lightest shoes out there but they are amazingly comfortable. Like a good pair of comfy slippers. I have to check that I have them on! They are a bit flashy and may draw a few comments, but those in the know respect them for what they are! I swapped these for my regular shoes right before El Tour de Tucson's 111 miles without a real chance to test them and had no regrets. They performed flawlessly. I won't name my previous brand of shoes but it is history for me now. Sidis from here on out!
worth all that cash
yes, these are some of the most expensive non custom shoes on the market, yes they can be a a bit loud. but in the end these are some of the longest lasting best fitting shoes you can buy. there is a lot to be said for shoes that you'll wear every ride for every condition and they never fade or cause hot spots. if your in the market for new road shoes, and don't lose your lunch over the price tag then you'll be blessed with happy feet and long miles. oh and don't by white shoes.......
What's wrong with white shoes??
Cuz after 100 miles or so they aren't white anymore...
If you don't have white shoes, you are wrong
great shoe, but flashy!
Great shoe, as reviewed below. Fits my relatively long, bony, narrow foot with high arch very well. Heel counter is great. Improved buckle system better than my other two pairs of Sidis. I got the black version on this new shoe, and the synthetic leather is made to look like patent leather from the 60s -- super high gloss. Really shiny and bright. Have taken a load of grief about the patent leather look. Otherwise, a super shoe.
Awesome road shoe!!!
Extremely light, comfortable & stiff!, transfers 100% of your power right where you need it!, breathes well, but not too drafty. I would suggest getting some good insoles.
Great Shoe
This is a great shoe... it's light and stiff. The best part is the heel tension system no heel slip! The shoe breathes very well so your feets will stay cool. Highly recommended

Dear Editor,
Los Alamos is a small town in a small county on an isolated plateau in a sparsely populated region of a sparsely populated state that most folks have either never heard of or think is a foreign country.
Los Alamos is a highly specialized single-industry economy with a dominant employer which was responsible for the founding of a town in a location that otherwise would be a lousy place to put a town. Historically, the only towns with those parameters are mining boomtowns.
And yet there are possibilites.
In the '80s, County government made a serious effort to bring businesses to Los Alamos; an effort that, for a variety of reasons, did not really work all that well. 1) most businesses with established clientele are unlikely to pull up stakes, relocate and start all over from scratch; 2) its all about shovels; the person who makes $200,000 a year does not buy 10 times the number of shovels as the person making $20,000 a year.

Confusion over Obamacare and its implications has been a key concern of clients calling local insurance providers in recent weeks.
Emily Gerber Poe, of Gerber Insurance, said they have been handling about seven calls per week since open enrollment in the Marketplace began in October. Although the agency has two agents certified to set up the plans, Poe said they've done few.
"We've had a lot of questions more than anything," she said. "I think people are so confused about the whole process, they just want someone to educate them." ...

With Earth Day and Arbor Day this week, everyone is looking for ways to reduce waste. Yonanas is a great way to use up the overripe fruit and bananas that you might normally throw away. This week's Friday Faves comes from friends that are getting the most from their fruit and wasting less with Yonanas!
WOW, what fun. "I couldn't wait for my machine to arrive. We are always throwing out bananas. Now I won't waste any fruit, not when I have this machine. It works really easy, clean-up is so simple. Very well made little machine, not thrown together and hope it works kind of thing. I made the banana strawberry. Really good. Can't wait to try the rest of the recipes, the book is fantastic. Thanks DOLE. I got mine in Neon Green, because I wanted a fun color for a fun machine." – Lpincarolina
A great little machine right price and easy to use! "I was thrilled that it was so easy to use and clean. Also, it made the fruit the same way it looked on the demo on TV! It was creamy like ice cream. I am happy to be able to use my fruit this way so it doesn't get wasted…too many times things don't get eaten. Now, I will just freeze and have it when I feel like it. It will be good for the kids, too. This is one of my best purchases, I think. Very happy with it and would recommend to others! I have only just used it (once) because I just purchased it but, even after using only once I can see it is a good product. Thank you!" – littleelf
Great product! "It allows me to make use of all the frozen bananas accumulating in my freezer and to use my imagination! No wasted fruit. I have experimented with many different fruits and the results have been a treat to the palate. No fruit will ever be wasted again in this household." – EPods
