Women's Dress & Style from 1900 to 1919 –
The previous century had produced crinolines, bustles, polonaises, dolmans, abundant frills and furbelow's of every description ; but the new century, at the height of the Belle Epoch ( beautiful era) was bowing to simplicity and to common sense, and, though details were still elaborate, fussy trimmings and unnatural lines were gradually being abandoned. This trend of simplicity was enormously intensified and sped up by the The Great War, which clearly established two great principles in women's dress — freedom and convenience.
The Belle Epoch – Age of Opulence.
In the 1900's, if you were a fashionable young English lady of the social elite, you would make a twice annual pilgrimage to Paris, joining other women from as far away as New York and St Petersburg.
During the months of March and later in September, droves of women were seen entering the studios found on the rue Halevy, la rue Auber, rue de la Paix , rue Taitbout, and Place Vendome.
In these often cramped shops, with seamstresses working feverishly in the backrooms, you would meet your own personal vendeuse, who would help you choose your wardrobe for the coming season.
This woman was your ally and would know your darkest secrets, both personal and financial! The survival of these early fashion houses depended entirely on holding on to their wealthy clientele and it helped for them to know some of your little secrets!
Armed with copies of Les Modes, you would browse through the latest works of the Grand Couturiers like Poiret, Worth, Callot Soeurs, Jeanne Paquin,Madeleine Chéruit and so on, for inspiration on how to outshine your friends, not to mention enemies!
As the decade progressed, these dreadful magazine depictions of static women, with engravings depicting every seam and stitch, were replaced with a more free flowing Art Nouveau style, using new photographic methods of illustration.
Together with your vendeuse, you would choose the following six months worth of wardrobe: lingeries, morning gowns, afternoon gowns, walking dresses, cycling combinations, costumes for traveling in a train or a motor car, evening gowns to lounge, a gown each for a special occasion, like Ascot, a wedding, theatre. A list as endless as your purse allowed!
Dressing an Edwardian lady.

Beginning with undergarments, your wardrobe would consist of several sets of lingeries – day and night chemises, drawers, knickerbockers and petticoats.

You would start your day by choosing your combination, and then be laced into a straight front or s-curve corset, over which you would wear a corset cover.

Next comes the first of your day outfits, usually a tailored morning outfit, which you could wear out for shopping or meeting a friend. This normally consisted of a smart blouse and a gored skirt combination, worn with a jacket during the colder months.
When you return for lunch, you would change quickly into your afternoon dress , which in summer time was always a colorful pastel affair.

By 5pm you would then remove – with relief – your corset, and slip into a tea gown, for lounging in and receiving friends.

By 8pm you would be tied once more into your corset, possibly a fresh change of lingerie, and then don an evening dress, either for wearing indoors, or if the occasion demanded, your chosen dress for going to a specific occasion.
By 1910, these gowns were increasingly becoming influenced by the works of Paul Poiret, whose eastern influenced satin and silk gowns were a favorite choice for the elite. The big hit for 1910 fancy dress evening wear in London were the harem pants!
Throughout the day, you would also have changed your stockings at least twice – cotton for day, and pretty embroidered silk stockings for the evening.
All in all, a most time consuming occupation, being an Edwardian lady!
Edwardian Silhouettes – The Myth and the Reality.
1900 to 1910.
By 1900, any lady of good class – with the help of a lady's maid – would have forced herself, daily, as her mother and grandmother had done, into restrictive, suffocating boned corsets, which pulled waists, [ and a woman's digestive organs! ] into tiny circlets. of 20 inches or less.
If it sounds painful – it by all accounts was . The sale of smelling salts certainly did well during this era.
Image – Matt and Lori Knowles.
The aim of the corset [ if the illustrations are to be believed ] was to push the upper body forward in a ' pigeon front', whilst shoving the hips backwards. But Marion McNealy of Foundations Revealed suggests that by comparing illustrations to photographs of everyday women in the 1900s, the actual effect of the straight front or s-bend corset, was an ostensibly erect posture, designed to emphasize the curve of the hips and bust, by pulling back the shoulders, thus raising the chest and curling the hips forward.
My take on this is that, as in today's fashion illustrations, there is a tendency to exaggerate the lines, and the above comparison of a Lucille fashion plate from 1905 to a beautiful natural photo by Edward Sambourne of a young lady in London, proves that women didn't tie those corsets too tightly!
Rather it was an idealized vision of Edwardian women at the time, popularized by the illustrations of Charles Dana Gibson, and the postcard images of Gibson Girl Camille Clifford, that has left us with a rather extreme vision of an Edwardian woman's shape.
Modes in Dress – 1900 and 1909.
Women took to wearing more tailored jackets, worn with long skirts [ and a slight raise of the hem ] and high heel ankle boots.
The silhouette moved gradually along a decreasing s-curve from 1901 to the Empire line by 1910 . Common colors for Edwardian women's day-wear were combination two tone affairs of pale tops and dark skirts. The fabrics employed were linen [ if you were poor ] cotton [ if you were middle class ] and silks and high grade cottons [ if you were upper class].
With detail, as in all styles in the Belle Epoch, laced trims and attentive detail was a signal of a girls social status. Plenty of shoulder and waist trimmings, with applique on skirts and dress.
Despite the restrictions of corsets, women, especially in the new middle class, began to have more social freedoms. It became common for women friends to travel together abroad on cycling trips – to the Alps for instance, or to Italy, as was beautifully portrayed in the Merchant ivory film ' A Room with a View' , an E.M Forster story published in 1908.
The popular Day Outfit combination was the matching of a high necked white or pale cotton blouse with a dark tight fitting A-line gored skirt, reaching from the ankle to just below the bust. Some skirts were also stitched in corselet fashion from the waist to below the breasts. This simple sporty blouse and skirt style first appeared in the late 1890's.
Skirts often had one single seam, and the result was a pleasing shapeliness that added contour to the most unpromising figures!
Hemlines went to the floor, with a hitch facility for entering carriages. By 1910 – the hem began to lift to just above the ankle. The blouse silhouette began with puffed shoulders but by 1914, the shoulders were much slimmer – which in turn added more roundness to the hips.
By 1905, with the increasing popularity of the automobile, the fashion conscious woman began to seek pretty manteaux automobiles or car coats for the autumn and winter. These coats were highly fashionable, cut straight from the shoulder to about fifteen inches below her waist. When worn with the new short skirts that barely reached the ankle, a woman could cut quite a figure when out for a spin! If it was a wet or snowy day, you might also wear a duster over your whole costume, to keep the mud and grime off your clothing.
Afternoon Dress styles, though in highly colorful pastel shades and lots of applique detail, remained fairly conservative during the 1900s, as they were often worn to formal luncheons, meetings, and conservative female gatherings – the dress code of which was under the control of a girls more Victorian minded mother!
Image – Lori Knowles.
Tea Gowns – usually donned by 5pm, if a woman had returned home, were delightful affairs, often white cotton, extremely comfortable. This period in an Edwardian lady's day was the one time, she could remove her corset and breathe normally! She would often entertain her friends wearing a tea gown, as she could afford to be fairly informal.
In Edwardian Britain, the age old London Season, running from February to July, allowed women the opportunity to display their very best Paris acquisitions. From the opening of Covent Garden to the Royal Drawing Rooms, to private balls and concerts, and to Ascot Royal Enclosure, the very latest, the best and the worst in fashions were displayed by the social elite.
Evening dresses in the Edwardian era were flamboyant and provocative, with low cut bodices allowing an overt display of jewelry and bosom! Evening frou-frou in the 1900s meant luxurious sensual fabric . By 1910 women were growing tired of bulky evening dress, and in particular, French women began to remove the trains from their dresses and embrace the new Empire lines, especially Poiret's Ballet Russes inspired creations.
In 1909, as the Edwardian era came to a close – a strange mode appeared in the form of the hobble skirt – a tubular affair, credited by some to Paul Poiret, [ though no one seems to have wanted to claim credit at the time! ] .
The hobble skirt effectively clamped a woman's knees together and made movement of any kind a difficulty. Combined with the increasing vogue of wide brimmed hats [ in some cases up to three feet! ] popularized by Lucille – Poiret's main American competitor, it seemed as if fashion had lost all reason by 1910.
Edwardian Hair and millinery.
1900 to 1918.
Hairdressing now received a lot of attention in the fashion magazines of the time. The most popular coiffure were Marcel waves arranged in "pompadour" styles, for it was one of the quickest methods in dressing your hair. In 1911 the 10 minute pompadour was the most popular!
These hairstyles supported an astonishing array of large hats which went out of their way to out shine the hair upon which they were pinned.
By 1910 the pompadour gradually evolved into a low pompadour, which by the advent of the First World War,had simplified into a simple chignon hairstyle, with hair gathered in a loose bun at the back, or nape of the neck.
To compliment this new hairstyle, hat crowns were lower, nestling neatly on the bun, and gone were the wide brims and audacious plumes of a few years earlier. Wartime morals frowned on such things.
The Ballet Russes in 1909- The Winds of Change.
Paris was by 1900 the leading fashion centre of the world and the houses of Worth, Callot Soeurs, Doucet and Paquin were the leading names. High fashion or Haute Couture was the name of the game, using the costliest fabrics and marketed to the wealthy elite of Paris, London and New York. However the style was essentially the same – the Empire line and Directoire style , with high waist and linear lines being the favored look, with pastel colors such as eau de nil, rose pink and sky blue resembling a sort of in club look to tea gowns and evening dresses.
It was through the ascendancy of the Art Decoratifs styles from the Art Nouveau movement, and the arrival of the Ballet Russes – first in 1906 as an exhibition organized by founder Serge Diaghilev and then in 1909 the explosive performances of the Imperial Russian Ballet, with its exuberant eastern inspired costumes designed by Leon Bakst, that the winds of change really stirred.
Dancer Nijinskys harem trousers caused females to gasp, and recognizing the potential – Paul Poiret – the master of opportunism, produced his harem skirt – which became for a time quite popular among the bright young things of the British upper classes. Poiret, inspired perhaps by Bakst illustrations seen in 1906 – had recognized the need for more expressive illustrations for his designs and engaged an unknown Art-Nouveau illustrator Paul Iribe to illustrate his Les Robes de Paul Poiret in 1908. The impact this alone had on the merging of fashion and art cannot be underestimated. The two went hand in hand for two decades after that.
The Advent of Modern Fashion – 1912 to 1919.
By 1912, the silhouette had achieved a more natural line, with women wearing long line corsets as foundations for day dresses which were tight fitting and flattering .
Oddly enough, a mercifully brief popular drive in Paris in 1914 was to be nostalgic, and most of the big fashion houses – Poiret included, introduced period style fashions, replete with bustles, hoops and garters. But the drive for change was unstoppable and by 1915, with a bloody war in full swing in Europe, Callot Soeurs, showed a brand new silhouette , a straight un-girdled chemise hung over a straight foundation.
One other interesting development in the early war years, was the introduction of a matching colored blouse – the first step towards a day wear style which was destined to become the staple for a woman's day suit.
Coco Chanel adored this basic shift or chemise dress style and with her fondness for the popular American Jumper or Middy blouse [ a blouse that hangs from shoulder to below the waist and tied with a loose girdle belt ] – she adapted the local Jersey jumpers worn by sailors in the fashionable sea town of Deauville ( where she had opened a new store ) and created a woman's cardigan, with distinctly casual belts and pockets that was to herald the 1920s fashion look some five years before it became the norm.
Like Chanel, the designer Jeanne Lanvin, who in this period – specialized in young girls wear – loved the basic simplicity of the chemise, and began to create summer shift dresses for her customers which was to herald a breakaway from restrictive dresses.
The outbreak of The First World War in 1914 did not stop the usual Paris collections from going on display to large international attendance, but despite attempts by American Vogue's Editor Edna Woolman Chase, to organize charitable events to aid the French fashion industry,,, there was understandable worry in Paris, that America was going to benefit one way or the other as competitors. If you are lucky enough to own vintage French fashion periodicals of the time like Les Modes – and La Petit Echo de la Mode, the war is seldom mentioned.
But the war was everywhere and women's dress, as it it did in the 1940s, by necessity, became more military.
Clothing became sensible with tailored jackets – even trench-coats and breeches cutting a particularly feminine shape on women who served the war effort. In Britain women joined the Voluntary Aid Detachment [ VAD] and Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps. In the USA, the Marine Corps Women's Reserve, not to mention the special Women's battalions on the Russian Front.
While these 'military groups' were reserved for upper class women, the munitions factories on all sides – especially in Germany made plentiful use of working class girls.
With all this shake up of the social classes, rich and poor, men and women alike mixed like never before and from this melting pot grew an emancipation in women's dress.
1915 to 1919 – The New Silhouette.
This was the era of the Art Nouveau styled figure.
The emphasis in women's lingerie was to move away from molding her body to supporting it. The traditional bodice evolved into the brassiere, which became integral for the now more physically active woman. The first modern bra is credited to Mary Phelps Jacob, which she patented in 1914.
The popular high Empire waist replaced traditional bodices,with pretty cummerbund-style sashes. Fabrics included natural silks, linens, cottons and wool, as well as the new artificial silk – rayon, out of which the popular yarns like serge, gabardine (wool) , organza (silk) and chiffon (cotton, silk or rayon). Jersey and Denim began to creep into new leisure wear thanks to young designers like Coco Chanel.
1910's dress designs had a horizontal layered look. Alternatively, vertical wraps such as Poiret's popular Kimono coats, hung over tailored skirts and jacket sets. Hems hung just above the ankle in daytime, and while generally floor level in evening dress, began to creep up in some designs as the 1910s progressed.
By 1915 a new silhouette began to appear with a 'new line' of flared skirts, ( known to some as war crinolines) raised hemlines and subsequently more visible and fashionable footwear appeared. Lace up heeled boots were a pleasing addition to winter modes – beige and white joining the usual black or brown colors! As the war progressed – evening wear all but disappeared from collections and the tea gown vanished altogether.
Annette Kellerman – Swimsuit Revolutionary.
Edwardian Swimsuit designs slowly shook off social mores , with women's legs gradually appearing at the beach, albeit clad in stockings.
With the notable exception of the Australians, and in particular Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman, who was somewhat of a swimsuit revolutionary, bathing costumes between 1900 and 1920 changed only gradually.
Kellerman had caused a bit of a stir, when upon arriving in the USA, she appeared in a tight body hugging swimsuit,which got her arrested in Massachusetts for "indecent exposure." The trial was a turning point in swim suit history, as well as helping to sweep away the Victorian standards that had incarcerated her. She set the look for the Max Sennett bathing beauties and the standard for the sexy Jantzen swimsuit designs which came later.
The Birth of the Flapper look.
It is tricky to determine accurately, the origins of the gamine drop-waist style which was to become the norm by the 1920s. The excellent Fashion since 1900 – draws attention to a mother and daughter design by Jeanne Lanvin from 1914.
Look closely at the daughters little boxy dress with a drop waist and you see the flapper dress look that was to dominate some years later!
Black was a common color during First World War, and the diminutive Coco Chanel chose to make the most from this and other neutral colors and of wartime dress modes, and with Chanel's fondness for simplicity – as early as 1916 in Harpers Bazaar, a Chanel design showing a chemise dress with a belt detail that is definitely drop waist!
Her love for more sporty and casual dress spread in viral fashion from the seaside town of Deauville – where she had opened a shop – to Paris, London and beyond. In 1917 Harper's Bazaar said "Chanel's name is on the lips of every buyer."
Paul Poiret's star began to wane after the outbreak of war ( he was drafted) and when he returned in 1919 with many beautiful designs in the new silhouettes, his name no longer elicited excitement. On a chance encounter with Chanel in a Paris street in the 1920s, he asked,"For whom Madame, do you mourn?" Chanel was wearing her trademark black colors.
Chanel replied " For you .. my dear Poiret!"

improve performance as well. Generally speaking, you can perform consolidation in one of three ways: move applications from multiple independent servers to a server cluster or to a single storage server; attach heterogenous servers to a storage device or using a SAN; and consolidate data on a common file system.
In a white paper on storage consolidation, Sun Microsystems Inc. offers a checklist to help determine if consolidation might benefit your business.
Among the questions you need to answer are:
- Is your storage growth difficult to predict and/or manage?
- Does your data need to be updated more often that it is currently?
- Are IT dependencies not fully understood, leading to incorrect management disciplines being applied?
- Is your business experiencing problems handling incoming Web traffic efficiently?
- Is your business experiencing problems scaling quickly and non-disruptively to meet growing demands?
- Are planned or unplanned service or maintenance outages disrupting production?
The complete list is available in the Sun white paper titled "Storage Consolidation: How to Reduce IT Costs and Complexity" on the Sun Web site at www.sun.com.
Rick Cook has been writing about mass storage since the days when the term meant an 80K floppy disk. The computers he learned on used ferrite cores and magnetic drums. For the last twenty years he has been a freelance writer specializing in storage and other computer issues.

| NVIDIA Releases 296.10 GeForce Driver, Introduces Windows 8 Driver Support NVIDIA has just posted the WHQL-certified GeForce driver 296.10 for Windows 7 and Vista desktops and laptops and Windows XP desktops, and has also released a 296.17 driver specifically for the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. The new driver package replaces the weeks-old 295.73 driver package, and both it and the Windows 8 driver support all GeForce 8, 9, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 series cards and IGPs - the desktop versions include support for the DirectX9 6 and 7 series chips, and the laptop versions include support for mobile Quadro products. A few months usually pass between NVIDIA driver releases, so the list of new stuff is pretty light relative to what we normally get: boosted SLI performance in Blacklight: Retribution, Dirt 3, Dishonored, Dungeon Defenders, F1 2011, and rFactor 2, and 3D vision support for Dear Esther and Deep Black: Reloaded. The Windows 8 driver adds WDDM 1.2 support for that OS. That's it. You can download all of the drivers from NVIDIA's GeForce driver site, which is linked below. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5673/n...driver-support |

Fear of pain is the number one reason people give for not making regular visits to the dentist. At the same time, a majority of dentists report experiencing anesthesia-related problems during restorative dental procedures. If dentists are able to provide painless treatment, patient compliance and satisfaction are likely to improve. Pulpal anesthesia is a vital part of the delivery of dental care for restorative dentists and endodontists. Administration of local anesthesia is invariably the first procedure they perform and it affects everything they do thereafter. If the patient is not adequately anesthetized, difficulties inevitably arise. This book will help you successfully anesthetize your patients using the newest technology and drugs available. It presents the rationale, advantages, and limitations of the various anesthetic agents and routes of administration. A special emphasis is placed on supplemental anesthetic techniques that are essential to the practice of dentistry.

Back in 2004 I posted about the bizarre-looking hatmaking device called a conformateur; most of the links are now dead, and they weren't that informative anyway, so I am now linking to Oh Joy! My Conformateur, by hatter Tricia Roush, explaining how she got hold of "something that's been on my 'fantasy hat making' list for a long time- a conformateur set. … They're quite rare to find, and almost never seen with more than one piece of a set together." She provides all the pictures, diagrams, and explanations you could possibly want, including the all-important formillon, which uses a paper pattern to recreate the customer's head shape. If only I had a a pattern with my name on it at a hat store!
And if that doesn't sate your hunger for hat-related links, here's a Guide to Buying a Top Hat by Charles Henry Wolfenbloode, explaining and illustrating all the main types. (Don't allow yourself to be suckered into getting a non-collapsible shiny fabric shell hat, "a pale imitation of a collapsible topper" that "should be avoided at all costs.") There's an extensive glossary at the end (coodle: a shellac based paste used in the process of making goss; goss: linen, cotton calico or chessecloth that has been soaked in coodle and left to cure for a few months on a frame; used to make the shell of top hats). Thanks, LobsterMitten!
Glad you enjoy that link; I certainly did.
Also, for proper attibution, I got it from this Metafilter thread posted by unliteral. -
I love it. At one time I worked as a historical costume designer and maker, but hats, like shoes, are very specialized, because it is harder to fit heads and feet than bodies. The pictures of the individual head patterns are quite unbelievable, with some heads looking almost deformed. No wonder people wanted hats to wear in public.
I liked very much Woolfenbloode's first picture of a mourning hat. Talking of hat fitters, I've always wondered how boys at Harrow School keep their oddly-shaped straw boaters on. I think there's a strap around the back, like the US military yogi-bear style broad-brimmed hat, but it doesn't look adequate.
Buying a top hat? One inherits one from one's pater.
But one doesn't necessarily have the same head shape genes.
Some adroit head-binding in childhood would doubtless remedy that.
Wonderful! Now I know how to get my tin foil hat fitted!
@marie-lucie: Re: "The pictures of the individual head patterns are quite unbelievable, with some heads looking almost deformed": That's because of how the device works; it hugely exaggerates any irregularity in transferring from head to pattern (and then reduces it again in transferring from pattern to hat). If your head were an absolute perfect sphere, the pattern would be a circle, but if not, then it would be nowhere near one.
Ran, I see. Of course a pattern, being flat, looks different from a finished garment, let alone a part of the human body. Thank you!

These muffins bake up light and fluffy, and have an intense chocolate flavor. I use a mixture of cake flour and all-purpose flour for these, but you could use just all-purpose flour if desired (if so, use a total of 3 cups + 2 Tbsp of all-purpose flour). The chocolate chunks inside give a little added texture and a punch of additional chocolate flavor. While I like to use semi-sweet chocolate for the chunks, you could also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate if you prefer. Just go with what you like.
Just like my Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins, this recipe will make 12 jumbo size muffins, or 24 standard size muffins. Either way you go, just remember to line the muffin tins with paper or grease them well. There is nothing worse than putting the time and effort into making these, only to have the pan refuse to let them go.
Finally, the best thing about these muffins is... they are called muffins. If you called them cupcakes, you would be inferring that they are dessert. By calling them muffins, that makes them breakfast, right?
Double Chocolate Muffins
2 cups cake flour
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups milk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups chocolate chunks or chips + 1/2 cup chips or mini chips for topping
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare muffin tins by greasing or lining with paper liners. In large mixing bowl, stir together cake flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and powdered sugar. In separate bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, oil, and vanilla and whisk to combine.
Pour liquid mixture over dry ingredients and stir until just combined (if there are a few lumps, don't worry about it). Add 1-1/2 cups chocolate chunks and stir gently to combine.
Divide batter evenly between prepared muffin cups (each cup should be about 2/3 way full, or 1/3 empty if you are slightly pessimistic). Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over top of batter.
Bake at 375 degrees until toothpick inserted into center of muffin come out clean (16-19 minutes for standard muffins, 22-25 minutes for jumbo size). Remove from oven and let cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack until completely cooled. Store in plastic bag for up to 2 days or freeze any leftovers.

Uh. Well. I don't have all that many writings to contribute to this section, and really all my writings are either assignments or spur of the moment stuff, but I figured it'd be a good idea have a place to at least post my random works than spam other places with it.
Here's a poem I did last year~
The poem was for an english assignment. We had to write something dark, gothic and Edgar Allan Poe inspired. The poem itself is about a woman who's depressed and wishes to have a child to (hopefully) fill the void, but no man would ever give her one. After much time passes, she finally gets a man who will give her a child. This man gives her a red rose everyday to show his love. Once her baby is born and she finds out it's stillborn, she blames herself. She thinks it's her fault her baby died, and kills herself with one of the roses.

The import tariff value is the base price at which the customs duty is determined to prevent under-invoicing. The tariff value on imported gold earlier stood at USD 405 per 10 grams, while on silver at USD 642 per kg. (Agencies) Latest News from Business News Desk
The notification in this regard has been issued by the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), an official statement said.
Besides precious metals, the tariff value on imported brass scrap has increased to USD 3930 per tonne from USD 3906 per tonne.
The tariff value on imported poppy seeds has also been raised to USD 3154 per tonne from USD 2781 per tonne.
Extending losses for the second straight day, gold prices today fell by Rs 340 to Rs 30,700 per ten gram in the national capital today on heavy sell-off by stockists in tandem with a weak global trend.
Silver also plunged by Rs 1,430 per kg on poor offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
India, the world's largest consumer of gold, imported 393.68 tonnes of the yellow metal during the April-September period of this year, as per official data.
The government has taken several steps to reduce gold imports, including hike in custom duties.

Eagles to make Hollywood Bowl debut in April
Clearly, hell remains frozen over with no sign of thawing anytime soon. Every couple of years, it seems, the once-fractious Eagles will regroup to reap more cash by playing more shows in Southern California.
Four years ago it was a 12-night stand combined at Staples Center and Honda Center. Two years ago it was four shows (with Dixie Chicks opening) to give Nokia Theatre L.A. Live a proper kickoff and spotlight selections from Long Road Out of Eden, their first album of new material in 28 years.
Now the Hall of Famers have announced their first-ever performances at the Hollywood Bowl, April 16-17 and 20. (Why does that gap in time tell me more dates will be added?)
Advanced tickets will be available to American Express card-members from Monday, Dec. 7, at 10 a.m. until Sunday, Dec. 13, at 10 p.m. Remaining tickets go on sale Monday, Dec. 14, at 10 a.m.
The band also has teamed with iloveallaccess.com to offer ultimate fan experiences for this long-overdue Bowl debut, featuring a variety of VIP packages. Click here for more details.

Oh, and before you get excited over the introduction of an all-new character...don't. Blaze the Cat is a nice addition to Sonic's cast, but she doesn't bring anything new to the experience. Despite tearing through unique worlds, both Blaze and Sonic play pretty much the same, with very similar move sets and the same screaming speed. This is a far cry from the wildly different mechanics found in the multi-character Sonic games on the PS2, GameCube, and Xbox. Though depending on your opinion of those console games, you may be happy to know that Rush is pure Sonic through and through, and not some lame attempt at spicing things up.
Moving Pictures
All that aside, though, if you can deal with the fact that you won't be doing too much through the first two levels of each world, you'll be treated to one of the most gorgeous DS games released yet. Sonic's world is vibrant and colorful, and so detailed you can still manage to appreciate the beautiful art even at breakneck speeds. The mixture of 3D graphics and 2D game play has never looked so good on this system, even outdoing the similarly impressive Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble.
The dual screen thing doesn't really add much to the overall experience, either. If anything it becomes a distraction during the more intense levels, since it's really difficult to know when Sonic or Blaze are going to make the transition from the top screen to the bottom, or vice versa. It's nice to have a whole second screen full of pretty graphics and all, but when you're so focused on one that you can't even glance at the other, there doesn't seem to be much of a point. Thank goodness they didn't force players to use both screens during the boss battles.
And that brings us to the most impressive bit of Sonic Rush -- the fantastic boss encounters. In the third stage of every world, the game pretty much changes gears completely. The action is forced to the top screen (the bottom screen is reserved for the boss' health bar and your personal cheerleader -- Tails or Cream), and generally restricted to a very small playing field. Each massive boss character has a different style of attack, which needs to be countered by everything from smashing their hands when they hit the platform you're on, to running right up the creature's arm and getting in a head shot. No matter the strategy required, every boss battle is fun and challenging.
Toot Toot Sonic Warrior
Musically, Sonic fans will likely be pretty split on Sonic Rush. The music sounds nothing like a traditional Sonic game should. Yet, it's all very fitting and very catchy, filled with voice samples and a really quirky style. In fact, the only real complaint in the sound department is the annoying cheerleading by Tails and Cream during each boss battle. It gets old really quickly.
We're adding a bit on the multiplayer mode as an afterthought to this review because that's exactly what multiplayer feels like in Sonic Rush...an afterthought. Two players can link up their DS systems and play through the regular running levels in a race to see who can finish first. That's about it. There are powerups scattered here and there that do funky things like pull the lead character back to the second-place character, or slow your opponent down, but none of it is engaging enough to be worth playing more than once or twice.
Sonic Rush doesn't bring much new to the table, but in the wake of poor attempts at evolution like of Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog, going back to Sonic's roots is exactly what the series needs. Old-school Sonic fans will no doubt love Rush to bits, while nothing here will remotely convert old-school Sonic haters.

'The Bourne Legacy' Review
- By
- 63 Comments
Most moviegoers will find enjoyment in The Bourne Legacy – as it offers the same government conspiracy storylines and realistic action beats as its predecessors.
Fans of the Jason Bourne series have been skeptical about the prospect of The Bourne Legacy ever since the project was first announced back in 2010. While franchise leading man Matt Damon, who played the titular hero in the first three movies, was originally attached for a fourth film (to be directed by Paul Greengrass), the pair later dropped out of the project, and instead, Jeremy Renner (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and The Avengers) as well as Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum writer, Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton), were tasked with bringing an entirely new Bourne universe character to the big screen.
As indicated, the notion of a Bourne series film without an appearance by Jason Bourne did not sit well with fans of the franchise – leading many to dismiss The Bourne Legacy as little more than a thinly-veiled cash grab. However, does the final film defy the naysayers and live up to the lofty bar set by the original trilogy – delivering the same visceral action and sharp storytelling?
Unfortunately, The Bourne Legacy is neither as exciting or as intriguing as the Matt Damon-led films – but that doesn't mean it's a total misfire. In general, the movie's biggest shortcoming is an overlong runtime that is the result of a number of drawn-out scenes and action set pieces. Nearly every moment of the film is interesting, whether a meditative character beat or a fast-paced chase sequence, but not everything is essential. As the minutes tick on, these less-engaging elements begin to distract from the core narrative – resulting in a diminished return for the on-screen drama.
An overstuffed, and overcomplicated, plot is largely to blame for a bloated Bourne Legacy experience. Not only does Gilroy, who also wrote the film (along with brother Dan Gilroy), introduce an entirely new sympathetic operative: number 5, Aaron Cross – the filmmakers also attempt to weave further plotlines into The Bourne Ultimatum story.
Essentially, the rogue actions of Jason Bourne, namely his attack on Operation Blackbriar, cause the CIA, headed by Retired Col. Eric Byer (Edward Norton), to shutter black ops programs including Treadstone – leading to the execution of countless field agents and support staffers. After narrowly avoiding an attempt on his own life, new franchise face Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) is forced into a kill or be killed chase as he flees the covert purge. Unfortunately, Cross is low on his "green and blues" – drugs supplied by the CIA through "Operation Outcome" (a Treadstone offshoot) that give agents an intellectual and physical edge in the field. Cross seeks out another CIA purge target, Outcome physician Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), in an effort to find more of the necessary medication. Without the drugs, Cross and Shearing don't stand a chance against Byer's ruthless (and blood-drenched) attempt at containing Blackbriar fallout.
It's an intriguing setup, even if much of the film is centered around chasing down a MacGuffin, and despite this stock man-on-the-run format, there are some truly engaging plot developments and character moments. However viewers who haven't recently watched the prior Bourne films (especially Ultimatum) will be wishing they'd prepped for Legacy with a refresher screening. Even though Jason Bourne appears in name (and static image) only – the plot spends a lot of time casually referring to the character (and the events surrounding him) as if they were common knowledge. Even for those who can easily recall the core Bourne storyline (loaded with covert names, government cover-ups, etc), the film will still get bogged down in disconnected exposition. That said, anyone who can't easily recall prior plot elements and characters (especially Operation Blackbriar, "Pam" Landy, and Dr. Albert Hirsch) will likely feel as though the characters cut away from the Aaron Cross situation too often – in favor of reacting to a person who isn't actually in this film.
The whole setup creates a weird introduction for the Cross character, and Renner, to his credit, still manages to make it work. While The Bourne Legacy doesn't always make it easy to accept the new leading man (since it spends loads of time winking at the last one), Renner helps ground Cross with the same balance of compassion and ruthless neck snapping that fans of the series have come to expect from rogue Treadstone operatives. At this point, the Cross storyline isn't as rich as Bourne (who spent a lot of time attempting to uncover his past) but scene-to-scene the character provides enough intrigue to keep his freshman outing interesting.
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Norton's Eric Byer – who, in spite of a fascinatingly grey morality, does little more than sit in a CIA operations room and react to various pieces of information that other agents present to him. He's an exposition machine and very little connects Byer to the outside action – significantly limiting the character's utility and intrigue.
Rachel Weisz as Dr. Marta Shearing is in the same camp – the film attempts to position her as a unique foil to Cross, but unfortunately the character is mostly led around out of fear and (for the most part) is relegated to typical action movie damsel tropes. The filmmakers were clearly trying for something deeper – as Shearling enjoys a competent backstory and some compelling character moments. However, despite a solid performance from Weisz, who plays Shearling with an entirely straight face, the character's beat-by-beat endeavors are more reminiscent of a typical popcorn action heroine – not the gritty and realistic approach that comes standard with a Bourne experience.
Fortunately, that "realism" is definitely present in the film's action beats – which offer a nice break from the overabundance of CGI-heavy movies Hollywood typically churns out. Renner's hand-to-hand combat is hard hitting and exciting to watch – especially when the character is first on the lamb (and out-gunned). Creative use of various filming locations has always been a strong suit for the series, and while Legacy has difficulty living up to set pieces in the Paul Greengrass (and Doug Liman) installments, there are a number of memorable scenes this round as well. Some of the chase sequences are symptomatic of the film's bloated runtime, grinding on a bit too long, but that hardly detracts from the moment-to-moment fun.
Most moviegoers will find enjoyment in The Bourne Legacy – as it offers the same government conspiracy storylines and "realistic" action beats as its predecessors. However, the film is a step down from the Matt Damon trilogy in nearly every way imaginable – presenting a less compelling protagonist (though there's room to flesh him out in future installments), an increasingly convoluted overarching plot, and drawn-out action with a softer payoff. Legacy is by no means a bad film, it just, ironically, has trouble living up to the real world Jason Bourne "legacy." As a result, the movie will at the same time confirm the misgivings of cynics while providing enough of an entertaining ride to keep moviegoers interested in the possibility of a Bourne 5 (especially if there's hope for some Jason Bourne/Aaron Cross face-time).

Tim Abromaitis' 10-game double-digit points streak was snapped Saturday.
Monday's men's basketball schedule features a big showdown in the Big East when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish travel to the Petersen Events Center to tangle with the Pittsburgh Panthers. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
Notre Dame appears to be back on track after losing three of five games earlier in the month with a 66-58 victory over Cincinnati this past Wednesday as a 4 ½-point home favorite and an 80-75 win over Marquette as a 3 ½-point home favorite on Saturday.
The Fighting Irish are now 16-4 straight-up and 8-7 against the spread, and 5-3 SU in Big East play.
Senior's Ben Hansbrough and Tim Abromaitis have provided the bulk of the offense for Notre Dame this season. Hansbrough is averaging 15.8 points per game, leads the team with 3.8 assists, and is shooting 42.6 percent from three-point range, while Abromaitis is averaging 15.2 points and a team-high 6.8 rebounds per game. A third senior, forward Carleton Scott rounds out a very experienced lineup with 11.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
The Irish are averaging 75 points a game and shooting 44.9 percent from the floor. They have been efficient from the foul-line, converting 72.8 percent of their attempts and are hitting 36.7 percent from beyond the three-point line. Notre Dame is averaging just below 38 rebounds per game.
Pittsburgh put itself in position to move up in the rankings with a huge 74-66 win over the current No. 3 team Syracuse this past Monday. The Panthers closed as a 6 ½-point home favorite and the total went 'over' the 138 point line. They followed this up with an 80-50 rout of DePaul as a 16-point road favorite to run their record to 19-1 SU overall and 8-7 ATS. Pitt is currently the only undefeated team in conference play at 7-0 SU.
The Panthers are an extremely deep team with nine players averaging over 10 minutes of playing time a game. Junior guard Ashton Gibbs is the team's leading scorer with 16 points per game. Senior guard Brad Wanamaker leads the team in assists with 5.4 per game and is averaging 12.9 points and senior center Gary McGhee is the big man underneath the boards with 7.7 rebounds per game.
Pitt is ranked 19th in the nation is scoring with an average of 80 points per game and is ranked first in team assists with an average of 19.9 per game. What makes the Panthers extremely effective is their 43 rebounds per game which is also ranked first in the country. Add in the fact they are shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from three-point range and you can easily see why they are one of the current favorites to win it all this year.
Notre Dame is 3-4 ATS in its last seven road games and 3-2 ATS in its last five games overall. The total has stayed 'under' in three of last its last four games.
Pittsburgh is 3-1 ATS in its last four games at home and 4-1 ATS in its last five games overall. The total has stayed 'under' in three of its last four games as well.
Head-to-head, the Irish have actually won three out of the last four games both SU and ATS. Last season they knocked Pitt out of the Big East Conference Tournament with a 50-45 victory as a two-point underdog and beat the Panthers 68-53 in the regular season as a one-point home underdog.
This time around, these teams are not that closely matched. The Irish should open as a double-digit road underdog and will need every point possible to keep things close enough to cover. Unless the line breaches the low-teens mark, the Panthers remain the pick in this one.

1. In which file do I find/change the watermark text in the QuickLaunch area? E.g., from "Sharepoint Portal Server" to "MyCompanyName?"
2. Which Onet.xml file is used by my portal site (the one and only, vanilla portal I created right after installing)? Is it the onet.xml stored in ….\template\1033\sps\xml? …\template\1033\sts\xml?
3. I created a new site in my portal (called Partners)–which files do I edit to:
a) Remove the link to "Pictures" from the quick launch nav area
b) Edit/reformat the links in the banner area up top ("Home" "Documents and Lists", etc.)

Thanks Dave, sorry to be such a spaz, but:
1. I don't want to change the color or rotation of the watermark text in the QuickLaunch bar, I want to change what the text reads. By defult, on our top-level portal site it reads "Sharepoint Portal Server," and on a sub-site of the portal it reads "QuickLaunch." What if I want the text to read "MyCompany, Inc."
2. thanks
3. There are no Picture libraries yet. The QuickLaunch menu has links to (from top to bottom): Documents, Pictures, Lists, Discussions, Surveys. I want to remove the "Pictures" link, which takes me to the list of Picture lists page.

I came across this fantastic tutorial over at zakka life a few weeks ago and just had to share it with you! Behold - the most amazing kirigami (cut origami) fall leaves:
Ooo! I do love ginkos - but if you're looking for some more traditional trees:
Fun! And a perfect way to celebrate fall! I think these would be so awesome on an autumn table setting or maybe tucked under candles? Heck - string them into a garland, cover a notebook, or decoupage your bathroom - the uses are limitless! I sort of feel like these leaves are doily related (maybe it is just me?) so maybe that is why I'm so drawn to them...they look like a rad little project though - what would you use them for?

Rufus Wainwright
Rufus Wainwright does everything wide-screen, and this major free outdoor show is no exception. A complete musician, unafraid to strike out for the grandest musical horizons and topple the boundaries between rock, pop and classical, he amazes his audience at every turn, whether its in an onstage encounter with the OSM or an intimate performance in the Jazz All-Year Round series in December 2011. If that wasn't enough, he's back this time to unveil the kaleidoscopic delights of a 7th album, Out of the Game, produced, like its predecessor, by Mark Ronson. Presented in collaboration with SiriusXM.

Jennifer Lopez is a major shareholder in NuvoTV network, which just purchased music channel Fuse TV for a reported $225 million from the Madison Square Garden Company.
"Music is my first love so the acquisition of Fuse is near and dear to my heart," said Lopez, who serves as chief creative officer for NuvoTV.
The "American Idol" judge continued, "It's exciting that between NuvoTV and Fuse we'll have the ability to deliver a broad array of terrific content both from a Latino perspective and across multiple genres, including music, to a broader audience."
Lopez outbid her ex-boyfriend Diddy, who reportedly offered $200 million for the struggling network so that he could merge it with his new Revolt TV. Diddy was even backed by billionaire investor Ron Burkle.
"This is a real blow to Diddy and Revolt," ex-Fuse chief Eric Sherman, who has also worked with J.Lo on TV's "American Idol," told PageSix.
"Fuse was such a perfect fit for them," added Sherman. "But having worked with Jennifer on 'Idol,' I'm not surprised she and her team prevailed."
Lopez's deal calls for MSG to receive cash plus 15% of the equity in the enlarged SiTV Media parent company of NuvoTV, reports Variety. MSG will have a seat on the board of the privately held SiTV Media.
Bloomberg initially reported that MSG had been seeking about $400 million for Fuse, which reaches about 73 million MVPD homes, compared to about 30 million for NuvoTV.
Fuse's most popular shows include "
Billy On The
," "
Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce
," and the
network often
broadcasts live concerts and
music specials.

hadn't heard about this before, but it doesn't surprise me@Belie, this is really strange. Have you heard about bar coding our Rarth?
Is someone scanning the Earth?
The mystery of the barcodes painted on the ground across the world
Car park-sized patterns used to calibrate lenses on planes and satellites
Most built in the Fifties and Sixties at an unknown number of U.S. locations
They have become obsolete thanks to new digital imaging systems
These mysterious QR code-like patterns are painted across dozens of locations in the U.S.
Although they look rather similar to something you might be shown by an optician, they are not God's equivalent to an eye test. They are meant for another kind of all-seeing eye.
The car park size patterns are used to calibrate the lenses of high-powered aerial and satellite cameras, of the kinds used by paranoid nations to keep an eye on their global rivals.

AB, I would like to think that those camps are for disaster victims, but my answer is this hotels, inns and apartment complexes would be sufficient. We could live in tents on the open plains or in the mountains. I've seen the television shows about these camps and thy so remind me of Nazi Germany and the forcing of the Cherokee off their land. It's dismal to think of our future as being one of were we as free citizens are locked into camps. Gives new meaning to gated community:(

Feb 18, 2013
We debated them early on in the thread and it didn't appear they were for good, like housing disaster victims, rescue workers, maybe some homeless Veterans. They will just have to kill me, I won't go willingly. lol I am DEAD serious. I try to think positive when I read these things and ward off conspiracy theories. But I do have to admit working for the gov't. I don't doubt ANYTHING they would do. |
Feb 18, 2013
nothing wrong with being called conspiracy minded if you have good reason to believe the conspiracy theories are true. It is obvious there is a lot of truth being hidden from us and unless we can see beyond what we are told by the mainstream news then we will always be kept in the dark. Being a conspiracy theorist is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, you have to look at all the little pieces and see if it fits and eventually you get to see the big picture. |

Facebook gets a $429M tax refund for 2012, despite record profits
Facebook made $1.1 billion in pre-tax profits in 2012, which means wealth for shareholders, revenue for the government, everyone wins and, yay, capitalism! Right? Wrong. The company will get a $429 million tax REFUND from the Internal Revenue Service, because of how stock options and awards are treated by the tax code. This has tax advocacy groups hopping mad. Citizens for Tax Justice called the fact that Facebook "did not pay even a dime in federal and state income taxes an amazing admission." And for those folks, there's more outrage coming: Facebook can reduce future tax bills by reserving an additional $2.1 billion in stock-option tax breaks to write off against its liabilities. So far, the company has declined to comment.[Source] http://now.msn.com/facebook-gets-huge-tax-ref... If this don't scream for tax reform I don't know what does. This is totally insane. |

And I should know that from some of the work I did. I watched people change facts to say whatever they needed to say to take responsibility off the gov't. Seen some of it up close. I'm not hating on you. You bring up good points. I just try to think positive and look for the good in most things. |

the FEMA camps will be used for detaining anti-government dissidents or anyone suspected of being a 'domestic terrorist'. The passage of the NDAA now allows the government to detain anyone without a trial if they think you are a threat to their security. They will house victims of disasters in these camps because it will be much easier to control large populations this way should they survive the 'natural' disaster. It is my conspiracy minded belief that disasters will strike areas where there is growing civil unrest. This is how control will be maintained. |

Hello/good-night, folks. Busy day today, and unable to post. Zzzzzzzzzzz......You guessed it, slept all day. That's terrible. I expect to do better tomorrow. Old Arthur visited me today, including my fingers, so I was unable to type much. AW's remedy does work, but I am unable to take Ibuprophen along with Coumadin. Arthur gets ravenously hungry, and eats the cartilage in my joints. He ate so much a couple of years ago, I had to go to the hospital to have a titanium joint put in my big toe area. Arthur's last name is Osteo. He has a half brother called Rheumatoid. When they both gang up on me, all hell breaks loose. Oh, well. BTW Abeliever and others interested. There will be fighting over water rights someday. Apparently Georgia has considered moving its border to get rights to the Tennessee River. Of course, Tennessee has no interest in this. In the not so distant future, we will see scrambling over natural resources. With much of the world going hungry, particularly third world countries, we will see battles over water and food. Rough times ahead, folks. Good night Love and Prayers to all.
Feb 18, 2013
problem is I'm not seeing a lot of good lately and it is because the government isn't being truthful to us and won't take responsibility for their wrongful acts, like the war in the Middle East for instance. Is there any positive that you see in that? |
Feb 18, 2013
Maybe they know something we don't. Highly likely. Most won't know it until it happens. That is why we all keep updated with earthquakes, chemspraying, etc.. I am glad I live by a military base then. If I see them running for cover I will know something is up. haha |

I worry so badly about my young family members. What kind of world have we created? Their futures seem grim. I worry about their safety and freedom.
AB, that link with the 'bar code' things was really interesting! Amazing, actually. But it makes sense. On that same line, I did a Google Earth zoom on my own property again just a week ago. ODDLY, I have a circular/spiral pattern on the ground pretty far back in the woods that appears to be created with large boulders, if what I saw is correct. It's extremely odd and I'd never noticed it while walking in the woods before. But from the satellite image, it's a clear as can be! It seems that Google Earth has updated their aerial view of my locale. During the time of year that this newest image was taken, the trees where pretty bare, so it really stuck out!! I'm going to head out there to see if I can find it and investigate further as soon as the weather is nice enough. It's extremely odd in shape. I wish so badly I could show it to you all, but it would give my location away. How very sad it is that we can't trust the stalkers in cyber-land. I'd love to show it to everyone in this thread. Maybe it's something left behind my the native American Indians, I just can't be sure yet. I do know that my area used to be sacred hunting grounds for the Cherokee, so there's no telling what I'll find out there. Pretty exciting, huh? |
Feb 18, 2013
Back at you lala. Get some more rest and hope you are feeling bete tomorrow. I am glad Kentucky has plenty of water sources. Goodnight lala, love, hugs, and blessings to you, hubby, and the little one. |
Feb 18, 2013
Wow, do you think it is the sink hole and if not and something else, did you see any abnormalities from the last time you checked in the area of the sinkhole? That bar coding was new to me. I run into some strange articles while I scout through every news site out there. I hope you find something interesting and historical and not a big sinkhole. Keep us posted on what you find. Might be a treasure of Cherokee artifacts. You could have a goldmine there and not know it. I hope so. That would be great huh? I hope you are feeling better. |

Sorry to take so long getting back to you AB. I heard a ruckus outside and went to check on it. I had a possum in my chicken coop. Thank God I'd not gone to bed yet, I'd not have heard anything and would no doubt have lost a hen or two by morning.
But all of my featherheads are okay, thank you Jesus. I've got the possum trapped now and will deal with it appropriately tomorrow. Thankfully, I didn't have to kill it. It will be living down by the Cumberland River tomorrow, well away from here. I hate to think it, but I know that I'm not going to keep getting this lucky getting rid of little varmints the way I have been for much longer. It's a numbers game of nature against human, but I have to protect my chickens first and foremost. I see now where it got in and I'll reinforce that part of the floor tomorrow when I get back from transplanting this fat, sharp toothed trespasser... As for the rock 'design' I saw, no, it's not part of the sink. It's at least 500 feet further east of it. Such an odd thing it is to see from the satellite view. When I saw it, I zoomed in for a better look, sat back in my chair, looked again, then sat back for a few more minutes. It took a while for what I was seeing to sink in.. I couldn't believe it. Very bizarre thing and it HAS to be large boulders because there's no other explanation for the color and "broken" shape of the spiral/circle. I can hardly wait to see it up close. I'll take a tape measure with me to I can gauge how wide it is, etc. I'm going to run for now. I need to shower again and put on fresh P.Jammies. I feel like I have chicken dander all over me. I'm itchy from the coop and not ashamed to admit that I got a little sweaty coming face to face with that critter growling and snarling at me. It's VERY lucky that I didn't shoot it.. (What an adrenaline rush).... Everyone have a blessed evening. Goodnight! |
Feb 18, 2013
Hi Nope, I am glad you saved your feathered ones. Sounds like quite an adventure. Hope you didn't have the wind and rain we have up here.
You have a good night. I am heading to bed as soon as Hawaii 5-0 goes off. I am tired. Have a blessed night yourself. Goodnight everyone. |

text: Please contact us with questions regarding this item. ON HOLDDuring 1937-39 a limited number of Walther PP pistols were purchased by the SA and distributed to the SA Groups. Exactly why and for what purpose is not known, but it's speculated that they were to be used in SA Group shooting competitions, by detachments requiring arms such as the Streifendienst or other special duty groups. In any case, they are very difficult to find and generally exhibit medium to heavy wear to the finish. Not the case here! The pistol finish is original and is stupendous--one of the best for these rare Walthers. The front gripstrap is correctly marked "SA der NSDAP Gruppe Franken" . Rarer than the pistol is the special holster made by A.K.A.H. and featuring a large impressed SA rune. Finally there is an original Walther PP factory box. A choice outstanding example of one of the rarer limited issued Walther PP's. PLEASE NOTE: DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY!!! MUST PROVIDE TRANSFER FFL OR C&R |

title | THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ON-LINE SUBMISSION AND PEER REVIEW SYSTEM |
source | Electronic Publishing 2000. Electronic Publishing in the Third Millenium: Proceedings of an ICCC/IFIP conference held at Kaliningrad/Svetlogorsk, Russia August 17-19 2000/Edited by Peter Linde, John W.T.Smith, Elena Emilianova. Washington D.C.: ICCC Press, 2000. 239 p. ISBN: 1-891365-07-X |
summary | Online submission and peer review is emerging as the next step forward for many journal publishers in an ever increasing drive to take advantage of technological improvements in transferring data electronically over the internet. The Electronic Submission and PEer REview (ESPERE) project was initiated in 1996 as an electronic Libraries (eLib) initiative of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Subsequently the project continued as a self-funding group composed of a consortium of learned society and commercial journal publishers intent on utilising the changes in technology to improve the services they provide to their authors as well as cutting their costs and increasing efficiencies. Traditionally the submission and peer review process has been a paper-based system with authors submitting to a journal using the postal service. Referees are then assigned, by a variety of methods, and sent copies of the manuscript to review and report upon. Technological advances have allowed other methods of transferring the information between parties such as facsimile and email, but although these methods speed up the process they suffer drawbacks in quality (facsimile) and size/platform limitations (email). More importantly they do not address how the information can be managed effectively. |
