Voters in Switzerland tighten executive paychecks
Swiss residents voted Sunday to impose some of the world's most severe restrictions on executive compensation…
The vote gives shareholders of companies listed in Switzerland a binding say on the overall pay packages for executives and directors. Pension funds holding shares in a company would be obligated to take part in votes on compensation packages.
In addition, companies would no longer be allowed to give bonuses to executives joining or leaving the business, or to executives when their company was taken over. Violations could result in fines equal to up to six years of salary and a prison sentence of up to three years.
The outcome of the referendum was a triumph for Thomas Minder, an entrepreneur and member of the Swiss Parliament…who turned a personal fight against the management of Swissair, the flagship airline that collapsed in 2001, into a nationwide referendum against "rip-off merchants."
Almost 68 percent of Swiss voters backed Mr. Minder's proposals, according to results announced late Sunday…
Read the gory details in the article. The point remains that the best analysts gauging executive salaries deny this vote will diminish Switzerland's business climate – in fact, encouraging investors to come in where they now have more of a voice recognized by corporate directors.

This Item is Currently Out of Stock
Factory New
|Bud's Item #
ANSCHUTZ 64 MP R .22LR BA 25.5" HEAVY BARREL BLUESmall bore hunting match repeaters of the series 64: Barreled action and version like for the models of the series 1416 and 1516 but with different stock versions and equipped with renowned precision heavy barrel. Small bore hunting match repeater of the series 64 MP R Multi Purpose: Based on the renowned match barreled action 64 in cal. .22 l.r. Equipped with a match two stage trigger, heavy barrel and the universal multi purpose beavertail stock - a version which finds more and more fans. Bolt action with cam cocking system, claw extractor with additional cartridge holder and ejector An 11 mm grooved receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounts makes it possible to attach a telescopic sight or match rear sight. A lateral sliding safety blocks the trigger. The rifle can be loaded and unloaded in the safe position. The bolt face is recessed for full cartridge head support. An additional gas escape groove guarantees safety. At this model of the series Match 64 modifications were carried out in the area of the receiver. The external diameter was enlarged from 25 mm to 26 mm. This modification entails some advantages. The weight of the receiver was increased by 12 % which makes the barreled action more rigid. In addition the locking surface is enlarged by 15 % which leads to even more safety for the shooter when firing the shot. The new shape of the receiver will be continued in the firing pin nut which makes the system more elegant. In addition the old engraving on the upper side of the prism has been replaced by the more attractive "Wave-Style".
|Hardwood stock: Anatomically perfect lacquered hardwood stock with stippled checkering.
|Rubber butt plate: The vertically adjustable rubber butt plate combined with the interchangeable spacers allow an individual adjustment of the length. The rubber butt plate fits the shoulder very well. No slip properties due to a special rubber composite and special pattern.
|ANSCHÜTZ heavy match barrel: Heavy cylindrical barrel with extraordinary shooting performance manufactured in the renowned ANSCHÜTZ special process which has been improved again and again.
|Match two stage trigger: Adjustable match two stage trigger with safety. The trigger blade is adjustable in length. The use in almost all disciplines is guaranteed by the various adjusting possibilities, especially the wide range of adjusting the weight. The trigger can be adjusted as two stage or single stage trigger. Match single stage trigger: The same as the match two stage trigger 5092, 5098 and 5101 but adjusted as a single stage trigger.
|Safety: Protects the trigger from inadvertent shot release.
|Clamping piece: Stock prepared for clamping piece with screws to attach aluminum butt plate carrier.

I got an REI Kimtah "lightweight" eVent parka this week and plan to use it for backcountry skiing. I use Gore-Tex a lot in winter. I'm a ski patroller & my parka is GTX and my "civilian" mountain parka is GTX but I've never, ever, tried eVent.The Kimtah has no pit zips and the low mesh-backed front pockets are blocked by my pack's waist belt. Should I buy waterproof pit zips and have a tailor put them in or does eVent breathe well enough on its own?
I have eVent parka without pit zips and don't feel the need for them.But, there are conditions where I'll get sweaty.I have GTX jackets with pit zips and have never found them particularly useful.Try your parka without pit zips and see how it performs in your situation before modifying it.
I've used on event coat, and numerous Goretex ones. IME event is more breathable, but not massively so. 10-20%, perhaps.
do you need a waterproof in winter at all?if not you might be better of with a windshirt or softshell (without a membran)
Well, I always carry a WPB parka in the western mountains like the Spring Mountains north of Las Vegas (max. elevation 11,990 ft.) and in Sierra Nevada and the Rockies winter or summer. Like my down sweater, a WPB parka is a safety item, IMO.Usually it was my Cabela's PacLite parka but now it's my eVent parka. PacLite pants go along in winter and in the Rockies a year 'round. They vent in the lower legs.I guess as a ski patroller I'm very aware of the threat of hypothermia so a WPB parka seems necessary. And I've found that the Kimtah eVent parka easily doubles as a wind jacket.
Edited by Danepacker on 09/30/2011 14:24:42 MDT.
Hi Eric,Hope all is well today.I have an Event Jacket without pit zips for when I expect to carry the jacket in my pack and one with pit zips if I think I will be wearing it all day (mainly winter)Cheers,Stephen
Edited by stephenm on 10/03/2011 04:18:36 MDT.
Stephen, TWO eVent jackets! Must be nice to have teh $$ for two of them. I'm really interested to see a scientific comparison (with industry standard numbers on breathability and water resistance) of eVent and some of the newer Gore and Polartec WPB fabrics. Eddie Bauer publishes their WPB membrane numbers and I wish all manufacturers did.
Well, ask and ye shall recieve. Will Rietveldt just did that great review & test of several types of WPB membranes. And I STILL like eVent after reading his test results.

Fields of Study » Urban Planning
Urban planning is the study of the built environment of a city, town, or other urban area. This is closely related to environmental studies, conservation, and land-use planning and is often offered within the school of architecture. The undergraduate major focuses on transportation, economic development, housing, and environmental preservation. Urban planning can be studied at a master's or doctoral level, involving hands-on experience to combine theory and techniques with practical settings. At the graduate level, this subject is typically tied with socio-economic or environmental studies, depending on the chosen concentration. Research projects are common and to earn a graduate degree a thesis is usually necessary.
Undergraduate: Students pursuing an undergraduate program in urban planning may receive a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) in Urban Planning. Both the BA and BS degrees provide well-rounded academic programs, including general education course requirements in social science and humanities for the BA degree and hard or natural sciences for the BS degree. A sample of courses available at the undergraduate level includes Introduction to Planning Theories, Planning Practice, History of Cities, Community Development, Environmental Planning, Regional Studies, and Social Issues.
Graduate: Students pursuing a graduate program in urban planning may earn a Master of Art (MA), Master of Science (MS), Master of Urban Planning (MURP) or a Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning. Degree titles vary by institution and academic program. Graduate students in urban planning usually will choose among a variety of degree concentrations such as Urban Design, Regional or City Planning, Transport Systems, Environmental Planning, and Sustainable Development. A sample of courses available at the graduate level include Environment and Planning, Biodiversity and Conservation, Community Management, Environmental Engineering, Sustainable Communities, Social Welfare Policy, International Environmental Policy and Corporate Responsibility.
Occupations in Urban Planning:
With a degree in urban planning consider your professional opportunities as a land use planner, geographic information systems director, transportation planner, grant writer, housing coordinator, parks planner, architect, cartographer, or other jobs in local or national government agencies and private consultancies dealing with zoning, community, and economic development.
Choosing an Urban Planning Program:
If you are considering continuing your education in this field, you should become familiar with academic trends and current development. Utilize current literature and consider the existing research of professors in matching your academic and career goals with the right institutions for you. EducationUSA Centers provide advising services and a diverse collection of materials to assist students searching for schools and financial aid program. To find the nearest EducationUSA Advising Center, visit www.educationusa.info/centers.php.
In addition to researching regionally accredited colleges and universities which offer study in urban planning, prospective students, particularly for graduate-level study, can also identify academic programs with professional accreditation. The professional accrediting organization for the field of urban planning is the Planning Accreditation Board (www.planningaccreditationboard.org).

Nysmith School For The Gifted
Herndon, VA 20171
About This School
In 2010, Nysmith School For The Gifted had 5 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Virginia average is 18 students per full-time equivalent teacher.

Nysmith School For The Gifted Reviews
Gifted programs in Loudoun County are just as good. Teachers are paid little at Nysmith,(a lot less than in public schools), receive few benefits, and new teachers are not given any training or support. Teachers are especially not supported when there are behavioral issues with a student that need to be addressed for fear of losing the money that the parents pay. Morale is low. I would never send my kid to this snobby overpriced school.
My two children have attended Nysmith for 8 years. My children love the teachers and I amazed every day with what they have learned.
As a parent, we have watched our son grow to love school in ways we did not think was possible. While he is not at the top of the class as there really are some truly gifted students in his class we love the fact that he just loves school and is doing very well. His progress has been constant and his love for learning has improved greatly from his last two years in public school. We love it!
I used to work for Nysmith and I can tell you that pay compared to public schools is very LOW and employees get terrible benefits, therefore teachers every year are forced to leave because they cannot take care of their OWN families on what they get paid. As a parent with 2 teens that make mostly straight A'sI can tell you Loudoun County Schools have just as much to offer gifted, smart, driven kids as Nysmith, in fact it has MORE and you aren't paying the price of a college to go there! Also, the kids at Nysmith are not any nicer or better behaved because they are "gifted" and come from "good familes" they were just wealthy kids with problems just like any other kid. DON'T let the name of the school fool you........ it is not really all that "gifted".
The school isn't inexpensive but your child will receive a strong educational foundation in a very clean, positive, challenging atmosphere in return from Nysmith and I think that makes it worth it for those who make the investment. I frequently take my child to school to drop her off and she is always very excited about going. All the other children I see at the school all seem very happy being there and the school's academic results as far as getting into the area's public GT tech highschool I believe speak for themselves.

As soon as a Halo 4 multiplayer match starts everyone races to Mechs, Ghosts, Banshees, and Warthogs. The slowest players out of the gate ends up on the mongoose.
They might be better off on foot…
This video shows off a new use for the often overlooked ATV. It involves a lot of explosives.
The fellas at Achievement Hunters organized an experiment to see how high they could launch the vehicle into the sky using the sticky detonator. After a few different trials, the spiked wheel of explosives ends up sending the ATV soaring.
The group also toys around with launching the vehicle forward instead on up. Have a look at the results…
That's certainly faster than I've ever gotten from one side of Ragnarok to the other.
For more multiplayer ridiculousness, check out this Halo 4 Mythbusters episode.
All kidding aside, the Mongoose is pretty great for escorting a flag carrier. It's still an easy target for criticism, though. Or bullets.

When is the new ios app coming? It is so limited...
Hey, The ios app is nothing like to Todoist experience on the web - and that shouldn't be the case.
I've been trying the SlickTasks app and surprise surprise - very smooth and a proof that dragging tasks around can be done.
At the moment there are too many clicks and the whole dual screen concept doesn't work and take away some of he speed reasons, for which I choose Todoist in the first place.
Again I love the web app and have a membership even, but the ios should offer ALL of the same features. I'm not a programmer, but I'm positive it can be done based on experience in using other apps (Any.Do is another good example).
All responses
Hello Tomer,
Thank you for your feedback, we're working on improving the iOS app and our goal is to implement all features from the web-app eventually.
If you have any ideas about how we can improve it or are experiencing issues with certain features, you're welcome to post them here or add suggestions to our iOS Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote_iOS/
Best regards,
Cheers, looking forward!

It's one thing to be selfish, but publishing a book about it is something else entirely.
But Kim Kardashian is planning to do just that, using a clever play on words to title her new book of selfies, which is titled "Kim Kardashian Selfish."
The book will be published on April 7, 2015 and featured hundreds of photos of the omnipresent reality star.
In publisher Rizzoli USA's blurb about the book, Kim is described as "the modern-day personification of Marilyn Monroe" and a "true American icon."
While Kim is polarizing to some, one thing is for sure: her selfies are legendary.
The reality star has gone viral with bikini selfie after bikini selfie, not to mention her record-breaking photo of her kiss at the altar during her wedding to Kanye West.
That photo broke records upon its release, beating Justin Bieber's previous high of 1.82 million likes. In the three months since it was posted, the wedding photo has risen to more than 2.39 million likes on Instagram.
Kim has teased the book on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," with a nearly-nude shoot in Thailand that was interrupted by her stepbrother, Brody Jenner.
Talk about awkward! What do you think of the book? Check out a photo of the cover here and weigh in!

Erase Formatting Doesn't erase
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
In the Content area of a page under the visual test manager of a page if you highlight text click the bold button add italics and cross out. When I I highlight the text and then click the erase format button it only removes the italics and leaves the cross out.
On two other builds I have tested this problem with it turns the text red?
Have tested on two local installs. (one clean to test this issue) and one external install. All using Trunk all the same issue. See screenshot for visual reference.

That looks like two different themes to me, probably styling stuff (markup) differently. What's the HTML/Text tab show? Screenshot of that is probably fine.

comment:5 @RDall — 3 years ago
Yes I was able reproduce the problem in 3.4.2 It will remove the bold and the italics but the strike through was not removed. I also checked the html version and all tags were removed but the strike through tag.

Since we use <del> tag for the Strikethrough button, we need to specify it as removable with the Remove Format button. This can be set in the formats init option. Also added there few of the deprecated elements that are supported with the patched html5 schema.

HTML5 defines strong, del and em as having semantic meaning and not a styling one. If all the editor does is styling then it should use style="font-weight:bold" instead of strong etc..
Looking at the patch the deletion of strong, em, del, and ins is wrong as it changes the meaning of the content.

Yes, best to handle this when upgrading to TinyMCE 4.0. The above patch works but needs more (border cases) testing especially with more complex HTML.
For reference: there is a native contenteditable command editor.execCommand('removeFormat') that typically removes only inline styles. TinyMCE normalizes and extends this, so tags and classes can be removed too.

I'd love if we could get this committed in the trac ticket scrub of 3.7

Asked spocke to consider adding del. I'll keep this ticket updated. It'd be better if this is added to TinyMCE. In case we need to add it ourselves, the 2 year old patch needs a refresh. :)

text: Hi, I'm building my own PHP photo album and wondering if there's any way to upload and resize an image on the fly? This means not having to upload the entire image size. For example, if I'm about to upload a 3000x2000 pixels image @ 3MB, can I convert that image ON THE FLY during upload to let's say 800x600 ? If this is possible, then users don't have to wait the entire time to upload a big image and then resize it on the server. Thanks in advance.

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/907,212 filed Jul. 16, 2001, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The invention relates to information systems. More particularly, the invention relates to methods and devices used to share peripheral devices between a plurality of clients in a network environment.
[0003] Conventionally, in a network environment including a server and a plurality of clients, one of two strategies is usually adopted to provide client workstations with peripheral devices. These peripheral devices typically include peripherals such as printers, scanners, other image capture and projection devices, data storage devices such as floppy drives, CD/CDRW/and/or DVD drives, zip drives, etc. A first option is to provide each client node with a set of peripherals which are located at the workstation computer of the client node. This would include all peripherals that the user(s) of that workstation might need, even if just from time to time. This can be an expensive proposition, especially when considering the waste of resources in providing peripherals that are only occasionally used by each individual user.
[0004] The second option is to provide for client users to share peripherals over a network. A local area network (LAN), or other form of network can be configured to allow multiple users access to a peripheral device. This is very common in the case of printers (and plotters), for example. In that example, a LAN card is usually provided at the printer. Typically, this is done by connecting the printer to the network via a dedicated printer connection device that includes a LAN card or other connection logic. With such a dedicated device typically including a LAN card or other network data communication logic, the printer and connection device comprises a network node, and the printer can be used by a plurality of clients on the network.
[0005] However, in the case of disk drives, zip drives, CD/CDR/DVD drives, scanners, floppy drives, USB and FireWire hubs with their connected devices, etc., to be shared, conventional practice is to provide a computer (such as a P.C.) at a node, and connect all the desired shared peripherals to this computer. The computer itself may not even be used, except for hosting the attached peripherals. Indeed, sporadic use of the shared peripherals by other persons would likely be distracting to a user attempting to make data processing/computational use of the computer on a continuing basis. What may be even more problematic in some circumstances is that the physical space requirements of using a computer host are much larger than what is actually needed for the peripherals to be connected. In some enterprises, a room, cubicle, or other space, is dedicated to this host computer and the peripherals it supports. Space efficiency represents cost savings, as typically some cost attaches to each square foot of floor space (or each volume unit) within an office or other facility. Therefore this second solution involves not only the cost of the extra computer, but also the cost of providing the footprint of another workstation that is either rarely used or used less profitably because the user of that workstation is subjected to interruptions, typically due to other network users coming there to use the shared peripheral devices at that node.
[0006] The invention provides a network-attached peripheral appliance (NAPA), which creates a powered peripheral node (PPN) on a network. The NAPA can include a data connection enabling data communication between the appliance and a network; and, the data connection can be configured to accommodate connection of, and data communication with, a plurality of peripheral devices at the appliance. Whereby, peripheral devices connected at the appliance can be in data communication with clients on the network. A power supply configured to provide power to said plurality of peripheral devices is included; whereby the plurality of peripheral devices can be powered by the power supply. Thus a PPN is enabled, allowing shared use of the peripheral devices connected to the appliance by clients on the network. The NAPA can include at least one case configured to carry and operatively support the data connection, power supply, and the plurality of connected peripherals.
[0007] This can eliminate the need for a computer to support the peripheral devices at a network node. It can reduce the need for external peripherals with their own power supplies. And further, it can eliminate the need for network card/connection devices for each peripheral device. Other features and advantages will be apparent with reference to the following detailed description of particular examples of embodiments of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These are illustrative of some possible ways the invention can be implemented, but are not intended to be a complete description of all the possibilities.

[0023]FIG. 14 is a schematic block diagram illustrating a NAPA/PPN in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
[0024] With reference to FIG. 1 of the exemplary drawings, an example embodiment of a network-attached peripheral appliance (NAPA) 10 is configured to provide a powered peripheral node (PPN) configured to fit within a footprint of a printer 12. In this embodiment a case (housing, enclosure) 11 of the NAPA is configured to connect to the bottom of the printer 12 to form an integral unit, which in one embodiment can be picked up and transported, etc. The NAPA comprises a power and a data connection for each of a plurality of peripherals 14, 16 connected thereto.
[0025] In the illustrated embodiment, in bays 18, 20 embodied in the case 11 of the NAPA 10 receive peripherals 14 and 16, such as a data storage drive 14. Power and data connectors of conventional configuration (not shown) can be provided, and power and data connection of the peripheral devices can be made in a conventional way. For example the connector arrangements for power and data can be essentially as would be provided when installing the peripherals in a case of a PC. In another embodiment, connections can be made by providing a standardized connector scheme, in which power and data connections are made by simply slipping a peripheral device into the slot defined by a bay. In the later embodiment, one example of implementation is to provide connectors at a back of the peripheral device, and at a back wall of the bay. These connectors mate to provide the connections when the peripheral device is inserted in the bay. This arrangement is conventionally provided in connection with "swappable" peripheral devices, e.g., 14 a.
[0026] In one embodiment the connectors (not shown) can be configured to perform a "key" function (as more fully described below) allowing connection of compatible devices having a compatible connector configuration, and disallowing connection of other devices. This can be done through the shape of the connectors themselves, or can be done by way of position of the connectors, or a combination of both.
[0027] The peripheral devices 14, 16 accommodated by the NAPA share a power supply with the printer 12, as well as a data connection (15 or 19) to a network 17. Thus a powered peripheral node is established on the network allowing data connection and power connection of peripheral devices without need for a PC at the network node.
[0028] The network-attached peripheral appliance 10 can further comprise additional data connections facilitating data connection of additional devices at the PPN, for example USB data hub ports 22. The NAPA system can also include ports for connection via other bus types, such as FireWire ports (not shown) for example. Again, such ports allow other peripherals to be connected to the network via the NAPA at this location. For example, scanners, cameras, additional external data storage and playback drives, additional connector hubs, etc. can be data-connected to the network through such a data connector hub (22). Each such peripheral device can have a power source different from that of the network-attached peripheral appliance. In one embodiment however, power sockets (not shown) can be provided to allow convenient power connection of these additional peripherals. Such power sockets can be configured for accepting only standardized connectors for the correct voltage/current for the peripheral. For example, an external drive may be configured for 110 v AC power while another device may be configured for 12 volts DC power, or 5 volts DC, etc. and the connectors can be configured to prevent an inadvertent connection to the wrong voltage DC/AC/current power source. The network-attached peripheral appliance can have its own power supply (not shown but conventional and within the case 11), providing power to the connected peripherals, and to these last-mentioned power connections if such are provided. In another embodiment it can use a power supply of the printer 12.
[0029] This system 10 can be used in a small network or a large enterprise network having many clients connected. In the latter case it is contemplated that the NAPA can support shared peripheral devices for a workgroup, for example. A plurality of such NAPAs can be provided, each saving the cost of having to provide a multiplicity of peripheral devices at individual network client workstations.
[0030] In one embodiment, connection to a network 17 can comprise a cabled connection 15. This can be via a LAN card (not shown) or other connection logic hardware incorporated in the NAPA which establishes it as a network node, and allows connected peripheral devices to have network addresses. The printer 12 and the peripheral devices 14, 16 and any other devices connected by the data connection(s) 22 are then coupled into the network by means of and at the single PPN established by the NAPA. This illustrated arrangement allows convenient placement of peripheral devices adjacent the printer for convenient access by a plurality of network users.
[0031] In another embodiment, the connection to the network 17 can be via a wireless connection 19. For example, a low power radio frequency device can be used, which eliminates the need for a cable connection 15. This is convenient in that the printer 12 and NAPA, with attached (or embedded and attached) peripherals can be located anywhere the wireless connection can be made. Wireless connection schemes and equipment are well known and commercially available. For example, WiFi and Bluetooth protocol devices can be used, and other schemes will undoubtedly be developed over time. For example, wireless USB connectivity is contemplated.
[0032] With reference to FIG. 2, some exemplary embodiments of peripherals which can be incorporated in the network-attached peripheral appliance are illustrated. For example, this can be done by installation in one of the bays 18, 20, or the peripherals can be separately connected through USB or FireWire ports 22. A floppy drive 23; a CD, CDR/W, or DVD drive 24; a ZIP drive 25; and/or a USB hub 26 (enabling connection of even more devices) can be incorporated in the PPN.
[0033] Turning now to another embodiment, FIGS. 3 and 3A illustrate a system 10 wherein the network-attached peripheral appliance 28 can be integrated with a printer 30 (again, the most common peripheral shared among clients on a network). The network-attached peripheral appliance is configured to fit within a case 31 of the printer, and in the embodiment shown includes a tray which conveniently slips into an auxiliary paper tray slot 32. Power and data connections (not shown) are made within the case of the printer. These power and data connections are made by providing at least one connector for power and data connections; having, for example, male and female parts, each of which is aligned and joined together as the tray/module 28 facilitating the PPN and network-attached peripheral appliance is inserted into the paper tray slot. With the tray fully inserted in the paper tray slot, it is automatically aligned, seated, and engaged, as the connectors are aligned and pushed together to make the power and data connections.
[0034] In one embodiment, 1) a network data connection, comprising a LAN card or other network connection logic; and, 2) a power supply, are located within the printer case 31. Thus the printer is able to be network-connected. Peripheral data and power connections, which provide power and provide data communication to the devices to and from the network via the LAN card or other data communication logic within the printer case, are made when the tray is installed in the printer case. Thus, the peripherals 34,36 in the tray are also able to be network connected and also located at a network node when the tray is installed in the printer case.
[0035] This embodiment of FIGS. 3, 3A is advantageous in that no extra space is required for the network-attached peripheral appliance 28. Printer functions requiring use of the auxiliary paper tray (not shown) can be implemented by simply substituting the auxiliary paper tray for the tray enabling the network-attached peripheral appliance, as needed. Since need for the auxiliary paper tray is usually rather infrequent, just as the need for the peripherals 34, 36 incorporated in the network-attached peripheral appliance is relatively infrequent, this will not typically constitute a great inconvenience. Moreover, interchanging the peripheral devices in the tray appliance is facilitated, as they are easily accessible from an open top of the tray enabling network-attached peripheral appliance as well as the front of the network-attached peripheral appliance in the illustrated embodiment. Also, the users will determine whether the peripherals of the network-attached peripheral appliance tray or the auxiliary paper tray is more frequently used, and which should ordinarily be left in the printer 30 in this embodiment. If the printer is moved to another location where the peripherals are not usually required, the auxiliary paper tray can be used and the tray of the network-attached peripheral appliance will only be inserted on the more rare occasions when the peripherals 34, 36 are needed.
[0036] Turning to FIG. 4, in another embodiment the network-attached peripheral appliance 38 can be configured as a separate unit in its own case 39. It can incorporate a power supply, a LAN card (or other network data communication logic), and can include a data bus and data ports. Examples include a FireWire port hub 40 and USB port hub 42 in the illustrated example. The case can accommodate other peripherals, for example a zip drive 44. A bay 45 or multiple bays can be provided to accommodate one or more additional peripherals in one embodiment, for example a disk drive 43. The bay(s) can be configured for a "swappable" peripheral, or a more permanent installation. Additionally, a power connector 46 with multiple power connections can be incorporated for convenient connection of peripheral devices to the network-attached peripheral appliance without having to get power from a separate AC power socket. Connectors 48 for other DC power supply voltages, such as those described above, can also be provided. A network connection cable 50 provides connection of the NAPA's data bus via data connection logic of some type to the network 52, and a power cord 54 enables connection of the NAPA's power supply to a standard 110 v AC wall outlet.
[0037] As will be appreciated, in use the network-attached peripheral appliance 38 is connected to the network 52, and its power supply is connected to a power source. The peripherals are in turn connected to the network-attached peripheral appliance, and are then data connected to the network. These peripherals can then be powered directly from the network-attached peripheral appliance power supply as well. The connected peripherals' network address will be at a PPN created by the connected NAPA.
[0038] With reference now to FIG. 5, in another embodiment, the network-attached peripheral appliance 38 can have the elements and functionality just described, e.g., having data bus ports 40, 42, and power connectors 46, 48. A plurality of additional slots or bays 56 are provided for accommodation of additional peripherals, such as additional disk drives 60, floppy drives 23, zip drives 25, CD/CDR/DVD drives 24, and additional data hubs, if required, such as USB hubs 42 and/or FireWire ports 40, or connectors for other bus types. Again, a connection to a network 52 is provided, for example via a LAN card (not shown), along with a power supply (not shown), and data and power connection capability are thereby provided. Peripherals (e.g. 23, 24, 25, 56, 60) connected to the network-attached peripheral appliance 38 can share these resources. The network connection can be a conventional cabeled connector 50; or can be a wireless connection 51. The NAPA can include an RF, infrared, or other transponder in the latter case. This transponder cooperates with a similar transponder connected to the network.
[0039] Turning to FIG. 6, in another embodiment a network-attached peripheral appliance 65 is configured so as to include a module 68 connectable to a side of a printer 66. As alluded to above, a printer is the most commonly shared peripheral in a typical network environment, and thus it is advantageous to incorporate other peripherals at that location. In the illustrated embodiment, a network-attached peripheral appliance module is, 68, e.g., removably connectable to the printer; and, it can share a power supply with the printer, i.e. the printer's power supply. A data connection to the network 52 can also be shared. The NAPA can be made modular, so that if additional peripherals are added, they can be added by simply snapping on additional modules 70, 72, and 74. Power and data connectors 76, 78 are configured on two opposite surfaces of the modules of the modular NAPA, so that the power and data connections are automatically made, in a parallel way, as the modules are connected (stacked) in the order a user selects.
[0040] In one embodiment, the NAPA 65 can further comprise a LAN card or other network connection logic (not shown). Connecting a module 68 enabling a network-attached peripheral appliance makes the printer 66 also network-enabled. This is a convenient solution to the problem of configuring a printer (configured for connection to a single PC), so that it is transformed into a networked device. In another embodiment, the printer itself can be USB or other data-bus enabled, and therefore can be data connected to the network 52 via such a data bus in turn connected to the NAPA network connection logic (e.g., a LAN card in one of the modules), just as the other connected peripherals are thus connected to the network. If the network connection uses another protocol, a translation can be provided.
[0041] For example, in one embodiment the first module 68 includes a LAN card or other network connection hardware (not shown), and a bay accommodating a peripheral of choice, e.g., a data storage drive 23. With the module 68 connected to the printer, it is also network-enabled. Other modules 70, 72, 74 then can be added, and share the same network connection 50 or 51. All the attached modules can share the power supply (not shown) used by the printer.
[0042] In another embodiment, the LAN card (or other network connection enabling hardware) is provided within the printer 66 housing. In this later case the modules are completely interchangeable, and a first module connected e.g. 68 does not need to have a LAN card or the like.
[0043] Moreover, the modules 70, 72, 74 can be pre-packaged, with a peripheral in each. In one embodiment, one or more modules 68 can comprise bays 69 configured for accommodating peripherals of choice. In either case, a user, enterprise manager, etc. can purchase a printer 66 and the peripherals desired for a particular location and directly snap them together or install the desired peripherals in the bay(s) and snap the respective bays together. In the embodiment where at least one module comprises a bay, the peripheral can be switched out at a later time if desired. In another embodiment, the switch-out is accomplished by switching out the module. As can be appreciated, if a module includes a LAN card, a power supply, etc., providing a bay and the ability to switch out the peripheral and keep the module is desirable.
[0044] In one embodiment, the data and power connections e.g., 76, 78 can be configured so that the position of the module with a LAN card or equivalent is not important. In other words, the modules are connected to a common data bus, which is connected to the LAN card in one of them, which in turn is connectable to a network 52. This can be via a cable 50 or a wireless connection 51. In the later case, one module can include the wireless connection at the PPN comprising the NAPA 65 and supported peripherals in the modules 68, 70, etc. In another embodiment the wireless connection can be included within the housing of the printer 66.
[0045] In the illustrated embodiment it will be appreciated that considerable flexibility in hardware arrangement is inherent. Moreover, in one embodiment the NAPA 65 can be located physically entirely within the housing of the printer 66, with the peripherals being connected thereto in a modular way by connecting modules (68, 70, 72, 74 . . . etc.). In another embodiment, the hardware comprising the NAPA can be shared between the printer and one or more modules, for example the power supply being within the printer case, a LAN card or other network connection logic in a module, and in the case of a wireless connection, 51 that can be located in the same module, e.g. 74, as the LAN card, or another module. In a cabled connection 50 the data connection can be through the printer case, and shared with the printer. In another embodiment the printer can be an add on, which gets power and a network data connection from a NAPA module case e.g. 68, or a dedicated NAPA module 67; either way, a module to which the printer case is connected. More details concerning various possible configurations are given in examples set forth below.
[0046] With reference to FIG. 7, more detail concerning the concept of a "key" will be given. In one embodiment a device 80 to be connected to the NAPA (not shown) has an electronic key 82 which can be an embedded system detected by the NAPA before a full connection is enabled, e.g. via a power and data connector 84 connecting to the NAPA's data and power connections. In another embodiment, the key can be a device that acts as a switch, enabling connection only if it detects a compatible power supply, for example, from a device 80 side of the connection. In one embodiment the key 82′ can be incorporated entirely in the device 80, and in one embodiment can be primarily embodied in software. In another embodiment it is implemented in firmware, and in another embodiment can be a separate key device within the case of the device 80 or attached between the device and the NAPA. In the later embodiment the "key" can further comprise a power conversion power supply and can incorporate a data translator, to enable connection of an otherwise incompatible device to the NAPA.
[0047] With reference to FIG. 7A, in another embodiment the "key" 82″ is embodied on the NAPA 90 side of the connection. Here, compatibility of the peripheral 80 is determined by software or firmware, or hardware, etc. embodied in the NAPA; or, otherwise, the connection of the peripheral device is allowed or disallowed by virtue of the key embodied in the NAPA.
[0048] With reference to FIG. 8, in another embodiment a system can comprise peripheral device 86, and a physical key 88, which allows connection to the NAPA 90. In this embodiment it is the compatibility of the case, bay, connector, etc. which physically allows or disallows connection of the peripheral to the NAPA. In these physical "key" embodiments, as well as the above-mentioned electronic key embodiments of FIGS. 7, 7a, connection of compatible devices is facilitated, while connection of incompatible devices is discouraged/disallowed. In this way, the power supply of the NAPA can be protected, as can be non-compatible peripheral devices which otherwise might be damaged by erroneous connection to the NAPA.
[0049] Also, with reference to FIGS. 7, 7A, 8, the concept of a key 82, 88, for example, allows convenient bundling of related compatible products by a manufacturer, while discouraging connection of other manufacturer's products. This can give an advantage in that it can enable a manufacturer to have a measure of control over the quality of the performance of the NAPA and connected devices. This can give a purchaser a measure of confidence that the connected devices will be compatible, and the system will work well.
[0050] With reference now to FIGS. 9-15, a number of different configurations for implementation of a PPN by means of the NAPA are possible, and a few examples are given to illustrate further details. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the NAPA 92 can be a stand-alone unit (such as those discussed above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 for example). The NAPA shown in FIG. 9 can accommodate connection of one or more peripherals 94, 94′ 94″. This can be by way of one or more bays 96, or otherwise accommodating the peripheral(s) in the case 97 of the NAPA. Also, as discussed, power connections 98 and data connections 100 can be provided to accommodate connection of one or more peripherals (not shown) without incorporating them within the case. As will be appreciated, a power supply 102 and a LAN card or other logic/processor 104 to enable data connection of the one or more connected peripherals 94 are provided within a case of the NAPA in this embodiment. The case is provided as large as required, e.g., 97′, 97″, to accommodate additional peripherals e.g, 94′, 94″.
[0051] As discussed above, the connection to the network can be a wired connection 106 or wireless connection 108. In one embodiment the NAPA 92 can also include a wireless connection 110 to a stand-alone peripheral 112, thus allowing a peripheral (or several) to be connected at the PPN, but without necessarily being physically proximate the NAPA and not being cable-connected to the NAPA. As will be appreciated, if not physically proximate, the peripheral 112 can have its own power supply. An example of this later configuration is where a peripheral is connected wirelessly to the NAPA and resides at one side of a large room, whereas the NAPA with other peripherals is at another side of the room, or even in another room or on another floor, where cable connection would be inconvenient.
[0052] With reference now specifically to FIG. 10, in another embodiment a NAPA 114 can be embodied within a case 115 with a peripheral device, such as a printer 116. In this example, the printer/NAPA can accommodate one or more additional peripheral devices 118, 118′; by incorporation in the case, or by providing a bay 120 allowing the peripheral to be inserted. In one embodiment the peripheral can be "swappable" so as to be conveniently swapped out as discussed above. Again, a power supply 122 and data connection logic 124 are provided to facilitate implementation of the powered peripheral node. One specific example of this scheme was discussed above in connection with FIGS. 3 and 3A, where the peripheral devices or bay(s) 120 were incorporated in an auxiliary paper tray.
[0053] In another embodiment illustrated by FIG. 11 (and also by FIG. 1 as discussed above) the PPN provided by a NAPA 126 is realized when a printer 128 in a printer case 129 is joined with a NAPA module case 130. In this embodiment the printer has, in addition to a standard data connection (in accordance with one or more standard protocols) 132, a data connection 134 that is made when the cases are joined, connecting the printer to the network data connection 136 of the NAPA 126. Likewise the power supply 138 of the printer is incorporated in the NAPA and connected by means of another connection 140 made when the cases are joined. One or more accommodated peripheral devices 142, 143, 144 are thus able to be powered and data connected. Moreover, by expansion of the case 130, or by attachment of one or more additional case module(s) 146 including additional power and data connections 148, 150 respectively (and 148′, 150′ for additional module(s)) further peripheral(s) 142′, 143′, 144′ can be accommodated.
[0054] With reference now to FIG. 12, in another embodiment, this just-described expansion functionality is implemented in a modular way by a NAPA 152, comprising a printer 154 in a printer case 155, which is connectable to a NAPA module 156. A power supply 158 and network connection 160 are thereby made available to one or more connectable modules 162, 162′, etc., each containing a peripheral device 164, 164′, etc. connectors for power and data 166, 168 respectively, are provided as discussed above. An example of the modular concept of this embodiment is also discussed above in connection with FIG. 6.
[0055] Other examples of the modular implementation enabled by the invention are shown in FIGS. 13 and 14. With particular reference to FIG. 13, a NAPA module 170 comprises a power supply 172, and network data connection logic hardware 174, incorporated in a case 176. The case is connectable to a number of peripheral device modules, for example a printer 178. In one embodiment the printer and the NAPA can be bundled together when sold to a customer, but if a component of either fails only one need be replaced. This is different from the embodiment just discussed above in connection with FIG. 12; for in that example the printer 154 in its case 155 would be joined with the NAPA module 156 to collectively form the NAPA, as the NAPA uses the power supply within the printer case. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 13, the NAPA 170 functions independently of the printer 178. The Printer in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 12 will function alone. However, in the embodiment of FIG. 13, the power supply 172 used by the printer is within the NAPA case 176, and the printer cannot function independent of the NAPA.
[0056] Power and data bus connections are made as the modules are connected together as discussed above. This can be by means of contacts, connectors, and other means known in the art. As an example, in one embodiment connectors 180, 182 for power and data can be provided at a uniform location on modules 184, 186, 188. The modules can each incorporate the same or different peripheral devices as those connected adjacent. The modules can be attached in different orders. One, a few, or many modules can be connected, as they are standardized. Likewise, the printer 178 is connected by connections 180′, 182′ for power and data communication, respectively. For example, the first module 184 can incorporate one of a number of peripheral devices. Examples include media data storage and retrieval drive devices, hard drives, powered data hubs of different protocols, scanners and other image capture devices, etc.
[0057] In the illustrated embodiment the second one of the modules, 186, embodies a hub 190, such as a USB or FireWire Hub which may embody further logic, or not, depending on whether it uses a different protocol than the data bus otherwise provided by the NAPA or the network connection 174. Hub connectors 192 enable a plurality of further devices to be data-connected. In one embodiment power connectors 194 can also be provided. If a power supply 196, providing power at different voltages, currents, waveforms, etc. is provided, different connectors having different supply voltages, etc. can be provided. A third module 188 to be connected can contain an entirely different peripheral device 189. Additional modules (not shown) can be added, as can be the case with each of the illustrated modular embodiments.
[0058] Turning now to FIG. 14, in another embodiment the NAPA 200 can be incorporated in the same case 202 as a printer 204, and share a common power supply 206. A network connection is enabled by a LAN card or other connection logic hardware 208 provided, which also enables data connection of one or a number of modules 210, 212, 214. Other modules 216 can also be connected as discussed above. This embodiment does have the advantage of providing a network-enabled printer 204, even if no modules are connected. In the illustrated embodiment a data bus 217 using a selected protocol can be provided. Further, a module 210 containing a peripheral 211 using a different protocol or a different supply voltage can incorporate data translation logic hardware 218 and a further power supply 220 to convert the data and power signals passing therethrough to provide compatibility with the standardized signals of the modular approach used. Again in this example, the incorporated peripheral devices 213, 215, 217 in other modules connected, or to be connected, can be any of a number of peripheral devices, depending on what user(s) need at the PPN provided by the NAPA 200. With the modular approach described herein, customization by the consumer is conveniently facilitated.
[0059] In the example shown in FIG. 14, one of the modules 214 can incorporate a bay 222 further incorporating connectors 224, 226 for power and data communication, respectively, with a peripheral 215 insertable therein. This module adds further flexibility, as peripherals can be semi-permanently or ephemerally swapped in and out of that module as discussed above. In one example, the bay module 214 can enable connection of a peripheral not otherwise available as prepackaged in a module 210, 212, 216, etc.
[0060] As will be appreciated with reference again to FIG. 6, and indeed all the figures and the foregoing discussion, the NAPA 65, which can be incorporated in the case of the printer 66 and/or one module 67, or 68 or more modules 70,72,74, as described above, or as described in connection with the other embodiments discussed, allows convenient connection of one or more peripherals (e.g. a floppy drive 23, and the other peripheral devices illustrated in FIG. 2) to a network 52 at a PPN established by the appliance. This is without the need for a PC at the connection node, and the NAPA can be a cost-effective alternative to providing such peripherals as zip drives 25, floppy drives 23, CDRW/DVD drives 24, large capacity hard drives 60 and raid arrays, additional data bus connection hubs 40, 42, etc. at a dedicated PC or more than one client-node workstation PC. With implementation of the invention, such exemplary devices can be shared at a PPN accessible by a number of users. Significant savings are possible through reducing the cost of each workstation PC by sharing such peripherals. Moreover, convenient access to the devices without disturbing the work of a user at a host PC is provided. The space savings made possible, with its associated overhead cost, can also be an important consideration.
[0061] Thus time and cost savings can be realized over solutions conventionally used for providing shared peripherals. In addition to the particular examples set forth herein, it will be apparent that additional variations and modifications can be implemented within the scope of the invention. Persons skilled in the art, once seeing the examples disclosed, and appreciating the salient principles of the invention, will be able to make numerous changes and modifications which time will not permit to be set forth herein. Therefore these above-set-forth examples will be understood to be provided to help explain and illustrate the invention, but are not to be construed as limiting of the scope of the invention.

Edison picks next president, promises "new day"
FORT MYERS - Edison State College has its new president and for many it's a familiar face.
A little over four months after Dr. Ken Walker was fired for presiding over a string of scandals at Edison the board of trustees turned the reigns over to Dr. Jeffrey Allbritten, who used to be the Collier campus president.
"I'm very pleased to be the one selected," Allbritten said after learning he was unanimously selected. "I'm very happy."
For Allbritten, this is a homecoming. From 2003-2011, he served as the Collier campus president under Walker, who was fired back in January.
"I am different," said Allbritten. "I have a different way of thinking. I have different philosophies and I'll bring those day one."
Allbritten left Edison last year to take a job as president of Macon State College in Georgia. But he kept his Naples house and his roots in southwest Florida.
"I won't let them down," said Allbritten.
Unanimous decision
The day began around 8 a.m. After a final round of interviews with each of the three finalists, it took the board of trustees just 30 minutes to pick Allbritten in a unanimous vote.
"I think he is new, he is fresh," said board chair Ann Berlam. "He has some experience with the local level that the other candidates didn't have."
"I think the board made a good choice," said outspoken faculty member Marty Ambrose. "And I think all their reasons were really valid. I think we're just excited to have a new president."
But not everyone's excited. Two weeks ago, faculty member Russell Swanson expressed concern. Others have called his association with the college a "double-edged sword."
"I just think it would look bad," said Swanson, "if we went back to leadership that we had before when we had the opportunity to go forward with a clean slate."
But Allbritten says he can move forward with a clean slate. He wants to hire an internal auditor to track spending while emphasizing accountability.
"How would you respond to faculty that have concerns that your time at the college isn't a plus?," asked Fox 4 reporter Matt Grant.
"I'd say watch me move forward," said Allbritten. "I understand the concerns. We'll prove to them that this is a new day."

Gracias, Mexico!
June 30th, 2010
This I wasn't aware of. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised:
The State Department confirmed that nearly every offer of equipment or expertise from a foreign government since the April 20 oil rig explosion would require the U.S. to reimburse that country.Que Viva Mexico! For all those cranks who think Mexico is nothing but a problem for the United States, think again. We have a good friend in Mexico. We should be grateful.
The offers reveal a hard truth about the United States' international friendships: With the U.S. widely regarded as the world's wealthiest nation, there is a double standard regarding foreign aid after a crisis, especially with offers from relatively poor countries.
U.S. disaster aid is almost always free of charge; other nations expect the U.S. to pay for help.
"These offers are not typically offers of aid," said Lt. Erik Halvorson, a Coast Guard spokesman. "Normally, they are offers to sell resources to BP or the U.S. government."
Only Mexico, with wide swaths of poverty among its population, offered the U.S. anything for free. It said it would give the U.S. government some containment boom. BP separately purchased 13,780 feet of boom and two skimmers from Mexico in early May, according to the State Department.

Hullo, folks.
Recorded this ride today to assess a potential lameness issue in my horse and realised I would like some feedback on my own self. Please mute your computers as my men bicker and add commentary that's for my own amusement, the Wonderful Turds.
It's been well over a year since my last lesson, which was geared more toward the training of my horse. I don't feel that coach really worked on me at all. I did have some feedback from a dressage friend recently that included bringing my shoulders back and engaging my core, not collapsing my chest.
Cue osteopathic session and my shoulders are back in place! I think my horse had more pep because of my entire-body adjustment, actually.
Looking at this video, I'd say I'm still tipping forward quite a bit at times, need to really connect my seat & core, trust my wonky lower back! Am I also seeing some breaking at my wrists? I have the horrible habit of pointing my thumbs at each other, rather than the sky - which would help me roll my shoulders back better, I think.
I also notice that I ride him incorrectly at a couple of points, pulling him where I want rather than pushing. Grrr!
Oh, and it's been well over a year since I've donned the English gear at all. Eeek! Note the western bridle... as it was to be a lameness test, I was too lazy to tackle the kimberwick... and these reins are SO much softer, lol.
Okay. Explanations and excuses outlined, please have at it :

We've written before about the perils of shopping when a designer is present, but last night's experience with Elie Tahari proved us delightfully wrong.
In honor of the brand's new e-commerce site, we were invited to Tahari's West Broadway store to pick out an item from the new Fall collection and get styled by the man himself as well as ELLE creative director, Joe Zee. And while we normally fear the awkwardness that comes from perusing wares while the maker of said wares is nearby, watching and silently judging, Tahari's graciously friendly attitude was incredibly refreshing.
We were standing in front of a rack of beautifully made (and, if we spent our working hours in a more professionally attired setting, perfectly appropriate) shift dresses, when Mr. Tahari sidled up next to us and pointed out a gorgeous leopard print, wool coat. "You would look beautiful in that," he advised, smiling. Welp, we were sold.
Glowing, we put on the coat and then realized we'd need to add a little more Tahari to the ensemble in order for it to work. (Our jeans-and-converse-and-grey-tee combo wasn't quite a match.) And this is the part of the post where we thank our lucky stars someone like Joe Zee exists in this industry. "I love that coat," he complimented. He is, quite possibly, the friendliest man in fashion. We thanked him profusely, then confessed our conundrum. We don't really do shift dresses or silk blouses all that well, we admitted. What else should we wear with this coat? Zee directed us to fellow ELLE-er, Sarah Schussheim, who looked us up and down and told us to put on a pair of Tahari's red skinny jeans, stat.
And so we did. There's never been a better case for designer, erm, group shopping.
You can check out the new collection and some of Tahari's personal favorites at ElieTahari.com.

I've heard a ton about Two Boots pizza over the past few years (and we've even shared some Deal Alerts), but for some unknown reason I had never been there before. That changed a few weeks ago when my boyfriend discovered there was one a few blocks from me and insisted that we go.
We went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and the UES spot is nice enough with some standard pizzeria tables. There's a lot of color to help add to the festive atmosphere, but in the end it is physically just another pizza place. But what is far more important is the quality of the pizza, and I was immediately impressed with the unique pizza combos offered. Pizzas labeled with quirky names and famous faces enticed me, particularly Night Tripper (sundried tomatoes, roasted garlic and jalapeno pesto on a white pizza), The Newman (yes, that Newman, with sopressata and sweet Italian sausage on a white pizza), and The Bird (spicy buffalo wings, blue cheese dressing, scallions and jalapenos on a white pizza).
Unfortunately we came after the lunch rush, so there weren't any fresh pizzas right out of the oven and our selections were limited since the pizza was picked over. Nonetheless we decided to try the The Newman and Mr. Pink (marinated chicken, plum tomatoes, garlic and mozzarella), and because The Night Tripper's jalapeno pesto sounded so good, we decided to get a side of that as well. Simple things like soda in glass bottles excite me, so we also ordered a Boylan's Diet Root Beer to wash it down.
My boyfriend mentioned prior to going that he absolutely loved the crust of Two Boots pizza, and I have to say, I agree. We asked the man at the counter what they do to it, and it appears that's it's simply a cornmeal dusting on the dough. I don't know if there's more to it or not, but it was delicious. The pizza itself was really good too, but The Newman was far superior. I love Italian cured meats and spicy sausage, so I was expecting The Newman to be good. However, I felt they were a little stingy on the sausage and next time I hope there is more than just a few crumbles of sausage on my pizza. The Mr. Pink was standard pizza with chicken on it, nothing to get too excited about. But we added the jalapeno pesto to both pizzas, mostly Mr. Pink, to give it some life.
I'm fairly traditional with pesto so I wasn't sure how much I'd like the jalapeno pesto, but it was a really nice surprise. It was spicy, but not overwhelming, bursting with flavor and really bringing the pizza to a new level. And again, when the pizza wasn't freshly made for us, it was an easy way to make the pizza even tastier.
The whole meal cost us under $10, making it a good lunch spot. There are several locations in the city (and even Connecticut and LA), making it a mini-chain, but definitely one of the good kinds. I poked around a bit on the website and it looks like the LES location is now a bar too and aptly renamed Two Boots Tavern, serving up the popular pizza, po' boys and salads, along with bar snacks (think Cajun pigs in a blanket), and a full bar to complement the newly added flat screen TVs for your sports-viewing pleasure.The Basics Name: Two Boots pizza Location: Several in the city Who to bring: No one, a friend, roommate, a cheap date Price: Standard pizza prices, $ Overall: Very good, but next time I hope it blows my two boots off. 3.5 Stars.
