While others think that there are more dogs than kids in S.S.
June 30, 2009
"My son is 17 now when he was five," she said. "Kids used the park, but not now."
A lifelong South Side resident, Ms. White said in her experience, there are more people in the neighborhood with dogs than have children. She added that Armstrong Park is underutilized and that most of the children in the neighborhood go to Ormsby Park where there are more organized activities and Citiparks staff.
Valerie Molter was also outside the fence walking Simba because although she saw the signs saying dogs were forbidden from the park. She didn't know if the signs pertained to the small patch of grass outside the fence on Sarah Street.
Ms. Molter agreed the dogs needed a place to run. "I think it's going to be a wasted park."
Since the signs went up at Armstrong Park on 12th and Sarah streets on Friday, June 19, Ms. White says she's been warned twice by Animal Control officers about having Tank in the park and now avoids the field.
"If you're a dog lover and you have to walk past this spot now it will break their heart," she said.
There are dogs in all the other city parks, she added, not just the three off-leash parks in the city (Allegheny Commons Park, Frick Park and Riverview Park). "This is the only park where they put signs up."
Ms. White said Armstrong Field was where pet owner's got to know each other and came to socialize. She said that dog owners always cleaned up after their pets at the park.
Both women agreed that Armstrong Field has gotten to be known as a dog park in the area. According to Ms. White, some real estate companies are advertising their properties in the neighborhood as being close to a "dog park."
"That's what we call it," Ms. Molter said. "It's the dog park."
Although she's spoken with Councilman Bruce Kraus about the possibility of an off-leash area in South Side Riverfront Park, Ms. White would like the councilman to find another place for a dog park in the area. She didn't feel the riverfront park would be a good place for the dogs "with all that goose crap down there."
Instead she would like to see the area where the old ice skating rink is in South Side Park on 21st Street converted into a dog park.
"The old ice skating rink is an eyesore," she said. "Why can't they make a small area for a dog park?"

Rated 2 out of 5 by JennLI from Pretty but way too large I usually wear an XS but because of the previous review I ordered an XXS and it was huge. The dress was alright but even if it fit right I'm not sure i would keep it. The color was pretty but it almost looked a little cheap.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LULU1980 from GREAT COLOR AND FIT My husband said I looked hot in this dress. That is a sufficient reason for me!
Date published: 2013-05-29
Rated 4 out of 5 by engagementparty from pretty its true that the dress is cut bigger than most of BeBe fashions; usually I can't fit clothes of BeBe due to this size being cut small; however, this dress is true to size compared to other fashions other than Bebe; The color, and look is exact as the picture; I was impressed; going by the others I ordered a size down and now I need to get my large. I am 5' 145 lbs; but fit - if you has alittle in the mid section order your exact size - but overall the dress is pretty what i expected.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Brittany from First Upset I have bought four xxs dresses from bebe now, and this dress was the first dress I was unhappy with. I was very shocked, because I just thought so highly of this store's dresses. First, the color really does not seem as bright as the picture, I do not feel as if it was true to its picture. Also, the biggest upset about it was how HUGE the dress turned out to be. After ordering three other xxs dresses from bebe, all of which were not tight fitting, I guess I just expected this one to fit just as great as the others did, but did I turn out to be disappointed! Take my word for it, if you are normally a size small dress the xxs would most likely fit you. I am 5.1 and 96 lbs and I just drowned in the xxs. This is the first dress from bebe I would most likely not recommend unless you want to buy it about two sizes smaller than normal.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson has joined protesters marching in the streets of a St. Louis suburb following the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager by a police officer.
Jackson linked arms with other protesters Friday evening as they walked through the streets to the site where 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot last Saturday while walking in a street. The prominent civil rights activist bent over in front of a memorial cross and candles and let out a deep sigh.
He led the protesters in prayer and urged them to "turn pain into power" while fighting back non-violently without self-destructing.
Police and protesters clashed violently for four nights following the shooting but have remained peaceful since the state Highway Patrol took over security Thursday and pulled back armored vehicles.

Инструменты для этого Разбора
In the midst of the iPhone 4 craze, we became impatient and decided we needed to tear down a phone, you know, just to keep us in tip-top shape. And lo-and-behold, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini E10i.
A big thanks to Brian at EDN for providing the phone for this teardown. Be sure to check out his Xperia X10 Mini Preview!
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini E10i is the smaller version of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.
Tech Specs:
600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7227
256 MB RAM and 256 MB internal ROM (only 128 MB accessible)
2.6" color transflective TFT display with a resolution of 240 X 320 pixels.
5 Megapixel camera with autofocus
802.11 b/g Wireless + Bluetooth 2.1
The backside of the X10 Mini E10i is characterized by a smooth plastic rear case with openings for the camera, LED flash, and speaker.
The controls of the X10 Mini E10i are pretty standard.
The bottom of the X10 Mini E10i integrates a 3.5 mm headphone jack as well as a micro-USB port.
The top edge houses the power button.
The left side accommodates the volume and camera buttons, leaving the right side blank and featureless.
The 5.0 megapixel camera in the X10 Mini E10i features a 1X optical zoom with autofocus and a built-in LED flash.
The camera itself measures in at 8.8 x 9.1 x 6 mm.
A few quick pries with an iPod opening tool around the perimeter of the X10 Mini E10i and the rear case easily pops off to access the phone's innards.
A thumbnail is all that is needed to remove the microSD card from its housing in the inner case.
The simple design of the Mini E10 allows most components to plug directly into the logic board. The only exception is the external microSD card slot.
A single T5 Torx screw and a few plastic clips are all that secure the antenna assembly to the inner case.
Step 6, Can I buy somewhere the Antena or just that part.. My friend lost it xD
A couple more T5 Torx screws secure the rear inner case and logic board to the rest of the X10 Mini E10i.
Disconnect the battery connector from the logic board with the flat end of a spudger.
Pry up the SIM card socket connector and remove the rear inner case from the the logic board.
The 3.7V 950 mAh Li-Polymer battery allows for 4 hours of talk time.
Measuring 40 x 35 x 5.5 mm and weighing in at a scant 18 grams, the X10 Mini E10i's battery provides up to 360 hours of 3G standby time.
The 5 MP camera, battery connector, vibrator motor, and speaker are densely packed on the logic board near the top of the phone.
After disconnecting the touchscreen connector, the logic board can be carefully pried out of its enclosure.
Rotate the logic board upward out of its cradle and use an iPod opening tool to disconnect the display data ribbon cable.
Big players on the board include:
A Qualcomm MSM7227 with 600 MHz application processing, 400 MHz modem processing, hardware accelerated 3D graphics, integrated Bluetooth 2.1 & GPS capabilities, and image/video encoding & decoding.
STMicroelectronics NANDCBR4N9
Skyworks SKY77336 GSM power amplifier module
Qualcomm PM7540 power management IC
Qualcomm RTR6285 UMTS RF transceiver with receive diversity and GPS
TriQuint TQM679002A WLAN Power Amplifier
Sensors near the top of the board face outward from the front of the phone near the earphone opening.
A proximity sensor turns off the touch screen when the phone is against your face.
A light sensor automatically adjusts the LCD brightness for optimal viewing in any lighting condition.
Further prying around the perimeter of the front panel assembly allows the LCD assembly to be separated from the front panel.
The digitizer is manufactured by Synaptics, with the main touch screen controller labeled as T1021A 1 0942 AC0P876.
A Samsung LMS255GF02 takes care of the Mini E10i's display needs.
And just like that, the dark deed has been done.
Thanks, Sony, for keeping it simple.
For more information on this little guy, check out EDN's Xperia X10 Mini Preview.
Keep an eye on our Teardown page for the arrival of the highly anticipated iPhone 4.

he great take apart, do you need to dissemble the whole phone to replace the power button cap?
More or less. It's been a while since I took this apart, but I think you'll have to take the logic board out (work up to step 9). Luckily, this phone is really straightforward to disassemble.
so you can't use BST-38 Size: (5.5 x 48 x 40 mm) battery instead that one you have on the picture (or BST-41 some sellers on Ebay say it is compatible) ???
Hi There
This is a fantastic guide, and has enabled me to get the battery out, does anyone know where on earth I can buy one of these, I have searched all the usual channels, google ebay etc, but can only find batteries for other models that look nothing like this.
Any help would be much appreciated
All the best - Trev

Topic Overview
If you want to save this information but don't think it is safe to take it home, see if a trusted friend can keep it for you. Plan ahead. Know who you can call for help, and memorize the phone number.
Be careful online too. Your online activity may be seen by others. Do not use your personal computer or device to read about this topic. Use a safe computer such as one at work, a friend's house, or a library.
Certain types of injuries are common to physical abuse.
- Bruises. Bruising is the most common sign of physical abuse and can result from being slapped, punched, bitten, or hit with a belt, cord, or switch. Suspect physical abuse if a child has bruising in unusual places. Bruises on the buttocks, genitals, back, sides of the body, both sides of the face or head, or on the upper surface of the hands or feet are unlikely to have been caused accidentally. The pattern of a bruise mark may suggest the object used to injure the child.
- Burns. Intentional burns often have recognizable patterns. For example, scalding burns (which occur when a child is immersed in hot water) produce a distinct line where the burn meets undamaged skin. If a child's hands or feet were placed in hot water, the resulting burn may look as if he or she is wearing a glove or sock. Cigarette burns often occur in groups, are circular and the same size as the end of a cigarette, and are in places that do not seem likely to be accidental.
- Fractures. Abuse fractures are caused by twisting or pulling an arm or leg, or shaking a child so hard that the arms or legs flail about, causing traction on the end of the long bones. Punching or kicking a child may cause fractures of the ribs, scapula, or sternum.
- Head injuries. Most abuse deaths are caused by injuries to the brain. Shaking or hitting a child's head or face is always dangerous. Young children cannot control the movement of their head as well as adults can. Shaken baby syndrome (shaken baby-impact syndrome) is brain damage caused when a baby is shaken, slammed, or thrown against an object.
- Abdominal injuries. A severe blow to the abdomen with a fist or foot can cause damage to internal organs. A ruptured spleen or liver, a hole or cut (perforation) in the intestines, a large blood clot (hematoma), or a bowel obstruction can occur with physical abuse to the abdomen.

City man has lightning scare at campground
By DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
TAMWORTH — The lightning strike that injured two at a New Hampshire campground "came out of nowhere," owner Laurie Bonica said.
"It wasn't raining. We heard very faint thunder in the distance but were barely aware of it, then there was one loud crack," Bonica said Monday at the Lakes Region campground. "It was really loud and you could feel vibration from it."
Phil Deberardinis of Manchester described himself as lucky to have suffered so little from the effects of the lightning bolt that split a tree at Tamworth Camping Area around 8 p.m. Sunday.
Bonica said the electricity from the strike was felt a good distance away, affecting a group of campers that included Deberardinis and a 14-year-old boy.
She said the teen had his hand on a camper door when the lightning hit. He was taken to Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro overnight as a precaution.
She said the teen returned to the campground Monday morning and the family packed up and went home.

Changes ahead for the Highway Helper program?
Changes ahead for the Highway Helper program?
AMES, Iowa —
The Iowa Department of Transportation wants to make changes to the popular Highway Helper program with hopes to expand it.
Highway Helpers work with stranded motorists on Interstate 35, 80 and 235 to get them moving again and maintain safety along the Des Moines freeway system.
District engineer Scott Dockstader said the DOT is considering contracting out the Highway Helper program a private vendor.
DOT employees would then be returned to road work and plowing.
The move is part of a larger effort to expand the Highway Helper program to other cities in Iowa.

Dalglish: Duo fit for kick-off
Both key players were left behind when the squad flew out on Sunday
to China for a mini-tour of the Far East. Gerrard is continuing his
rehabilitation from groin surgery which ended his campaign in
mid-March while Reina had a double hernia operation last month.
"Steven is injured at the moment and that's why he's not here with
us," said Dalglish at a press conference after landing in
Guangzhou, where the team will play their first friendly in China
on Wednesday. "He has made a fantastic recovery from his operation
towards the end of last season. "He just needs to get the final
couple of niggles out of the way and then he will be fit for the
start of the season against Sunderland. "I know people are
disappointed he isn't here with us but the disappointment would be
far greater if he couldn't play the first (Premier League) game.
"That is why he has stayed at home, to rest and to have the best
chance of being fit for the start of the season. "The same
situation applies to Pepe (Reina) – he had a double hernia
operation in June. "He isn't fit and so had to stay at home. He
should be ready for the start of the season." Liverpool's new
signing Charlie Adam made the trip to the Far East, having sealed
his move from Blackpool on Thursday, but Jordan Henderson, who
moved from Sunderland last month, has been on extended leave after
playing for England Under-21s at the European Championships in
Denmark. The Reds have been linked with a renewed bid for Aston
Villa winger Stewart Downing while a number of fringe players are
likely to be offloaded before the start of the new season. "We are
happy with the business we have done so far," added Dalglish.
"Hopefully we will do some more business before the window closes
but I'm not going to give names because that's disrespectful. "We
are looking to bring other players in and that could mean we expect
some to leave. "That's football but we have a while to go yet and
we'll see what we can do."

I've been running in so many directions with herbs lately that I can hardly focus long enough to write about just one, or even one group. Last night I was writing about Pulsatilla and then I took a drop of the tincture, got so warm, fuzzy and comfortable I couldn't manage to finish my writing. I'll get back to that soon, but for now I'll talk about a less controversial and volatile plant. In fact, I think I'll explore a few of the many features of the lovely and gentle Lavender.
A great indication that Lavender is indicated as a nervine is when a person is anxious, confused and has a wrinkled forehead that can't relax. The forehead will give it away every time. Lavender, being the botanical incarnate of a mother's hug, will smooth away the furrowed brow and calm the troubled, busy mind. Like Pulsatilla, Lavender is a plant that can help us see through the eyes of a child, everything close up, comforting and lucidly tactile. I especially like Lavender where anxiousness is accompanied by despondency, a resigned sense of befuddlement and a bit of the moody blues. In these cases, the fragrant tea or tincture, has a wonderful way of lifting the spirits while calming and cheering.
Lavender has been considered either warming or cooling, depending on who you read or talk to. I find it to be one of those lovely mint family plants with both warming and cooling properties that is amazingly appropriate for people of almost any constitution. It's also both relaxing and stimulating, and has an invigorating effect upon the circulation and brain, while soothing the spirit, liver, heart and nerves.
Lavender's nervine effects are well known and is very effective for anxiety, headaches and insomnia; but the extent of its influence is much wider that popular use would indicate. It's a wonderful ally for use in liver tension and heat, where it is well combined with Rose to relax and soothe Hepatitis and other hot liver conditions. It's also well indicated in many kinds of stress related heart arrhythmias, where it resolves tension and allows the energy to flow more smoothly through the heart. Even tension triggered asthma can be treated with this gentle and effective ally. Another stress related condition, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, with spasms and pain, is also often effectively treated with Lavender.
The key here is anxiety with some level of depression, either psychologically or physiologically, though they usually go together to some degree. Some have said it is most indicated where there is anxiousness from fatigue — and while it is certainly very applicable there, I have also found it of great use in more robust individuals who simply have their energy a bit out of balance, where it's stuck and hyperactive in one area but empty or underactive in another area. I find that it is an excellent agent for clearing stubborn, stuck Qi or vital energy nearly anywhere in the body.
Children with lots of nervous energy and a tendency to colic or easily upset bellies do very well with Lavender, and usually love the taste, especially if made as a honey or an elixir. Catnip can be added for extra effect.
For burns and wounds, there's few herbs that heal and soothe more effectively than this one. I am very fond of a recipe of 1 Part Lavender, 1 Part White Sage and 1 Part Rose petals as a wash, salve, diluted tincture or other preparation for all sorts of abrasions and painful ouchy things. But even by itself, it stops pain and disinfects in a rather miraculous manner.
Lavender harmonizes well with many other herbs, and is especially lovely with Sage as a deep, nourishing nerve tonic and with Rosemary for depression with digestive sluggishness and upset. And, it's a classic combined with Rose for depression, sadness, broken-heartedness and the general blues. It's lovely alone or in formula for even small children or the elderly, or those weakened by chronic disease. For anyone who has a hard time sleeping because of pain or anxiety, a pillow stuffed with lavender flowers can help promoted relaxation and deep sleep.
Another great benefit of this plant is the fact that quality dried flowers can be used with excellent effect, and a very good tincture, oil or other preparation can be made from it without sacrificing much quality. When you buy Lavender, be sure to select VERY fragrant, vibrantly colored flowers. Don't settle for musty, gray fuzz from a silver bag! Much of this herb's medicine originates from its volatile oils, so the quality and strength of the scent is of utmost importance.
And anytime you miss your mother, Lavender makes a comforting and soothing herbal analogue.
5 Responses to "The Soothing Magic of Lavender"
I like how you talk about herbs- speaking about indications of lavender being a furrowed brow, for example. (I need me some lavender, heh!)
I know you don't need one more thing added to your list, but I'd love it if you did a post on nervines, because as I was reading, I was wondering what the indications for lavender were vs the ones for, say, chamomile, or catnip, or another one I haven't thought of yet.
And I'm lookning forward to your pulsatilla post. I use it frequently homeopathically, but I honestly know nothing about the herb itself.
Pulsatilla came up on a herbalist mailing list last week, and I've contemplated adding my reply to my blog …
I think you'll do a much more nuanced one, but mine will be up later this week.

It can be a daunting task, however, for a businessperson to sift through all of the highly technical documentation and unearth the business potential amidst the jargon. For the newly launched Entrepreneur-Ready Technologies website, University officials scour this library of patents, pick out the most promising technologies, and present them in clear language so that entrepreneurs can easily choose one that suits their needs.
The website (www.rochester.edu/entrepreneurship/ereadytech), which went live today, will be officially launched on April 15 at the third annual Celebration of Entrepreneurship Luncheon hosted by High Tech Rochester at the Hyatt Regency Rochester hotel.
The site presents a diverse portfolio of technologies in a variety of industries. For instance, there is a chemical compound that could prove to be a potent weapon against arthritis and wrinkles, and a catalyst that could make fuel cell vehicles cheaper. Each technology description is accompanied by its industry applications, advantages of the technology versus its existing competitors, a brief biography of the inventor, and the technology's current stage in development.
Creating and maintaining the easy-to-use repository of technology is a collaborative effort between the University's Offices of Technology Transfer, which handles the intellectual property, the Simon Graduate School of Business, and the Center for Entrepreneurship.

Three men were shot in separate incidents in Baltimore on Tuesday, in North Baltimore, near Johns Hopkins Hospital, and in West Baltimore, police said.
At about 10:10 p.m., a man was shot multiple times in the 700 block of Mello Court, in a cluster of townhomes northwest of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Police said he was expected to survive his injuries.
In a separate incident at about 5:10 p.m., a man was shot in the upper torso and injured in the 2200 block of Fulton Avenue, police said.
A man was shot in the arm shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning in North Baltimore, between the city's Guilford and Waverly neighborhoods, according to police.
Officers were dispatched to the 3700 block of Greenmount Avenue about 12:05 a.m. and, while en route, found the man wounded in the left arm and back in the 3400 block, police said. He was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Detectives believe the man was closing his store for the night when he was approached by two men armed with a handgun who told him he was being robbed. The suspects went into the victim's pockets and stole his belongings before the victim ran southbound on Greenmount Avenue. Police said the suspects fired several shots as he ran, striking him twice.
Greenmount Avenue straddles Guilford and Waverly, east of Johns Hopkins University and Union Memorial Hospital and west of the old Memorial Stadium. The 3700 block is just north of the Oakenshawe community.
Police had promised a beefed up presence in the area earlier this month following a string of street robberies — some of joggers — in the neighborhoods surrounding Hopkins. Police had said they had first taken notice of the trend after a group of men stole a vehicle in Waverly on Aug. 2 and drove around North Baltimore, confronting at least four people and stealing cell phones from runners.
Police have made several arrests of juveniles and at least two adults suspected in many of those robberies including one man police suspect is responsible for a Roland Park shooting and attempted robbery that seriously wounded another man earlier this month.
Across the city, police have been dealing with a spike in shootings in the last two weeks.
Baltimore Sun staff writer Justin George contributed to this report.

With more legislatures taking public frustration over immigration-related problems into state-level hands, President Barack Obama renewed his commitment to putting his political weight and the resources of his administration behind a federal approach to reform. But as he told participants in a White House meeting April 19, the responsibility for legislation to fix the multilayered immigration mess lies with Congress. Bishop John C. Wester of Salt Lake City, one of dozens of religious, political, business and civic leaders who attended the White House meeting, said on April 21 that he came away from the session more optimistic about the possibility of getting a comprehensive immigration reform bill passed than he was when he arrived. But he acknowledged that after years of working with similar diverse coalitions on the subject, "I've been there too many times to get my hopes up." Comprehensive immigration reform proposals generally include some enforcement provisions; expanded ways for low-skilled workers to come legally into the United States; changes in family-based immigration procedures; and a path to legalization for the estimated 11 million people who are in the United States illegally. As the group gathered in Washington, Georgia's legislative staff was putting the finishing touches on a bill passed April 14 that would broaden the powers of local police to enforce immigration laws and require businesses to use an online verification system when hiring. The bills also would create criminal penalties for assisting people who are in the country illegally. Gov. Nathan Deal said he would sign the bill when it reached his desk, in spite of the ongoing protests against the legislation, including by the state's Catholic bishops.

THE EVENT: The 3rd Annual Wella Student Competition at America's Beauty Show 2013 at McCormick Place West in downtown Chicago.
THE DETAILS: Industry icons featuring Wella Creative Ambassadors Christopher and Sonya Dove, Wella Global Education Academy Dean Stephen Moody, International Artistic Director of Keratin Complex Martino Cartier and Founder and CEO of Bloom.com's Julie Mahloch opened the show with an all-stars educational panel. Panel members shared valuable advice to audience members on how to find success in a beauty career through hard work and motivation. The Q & A session transitioned into hair platform demonstrations by Team I.C.A.N., followed by a discussion panel, and closing the event, the Wella Student Competition. MODERN's Alison Shipley and Maggie Mulhern emceed during the event.
In the Q&A, The Doves touched on their professional journeys in beauty, while Moody touched on Hairdressers at Heart Scholarships. Mahloch spoke about the importance of social media while Cartier spoke about salon hiring.
Members of the audience asked thought provoking questions like, "How can you keep your energy level up and stay enthused as an educator?" Mooney responded, "As an educator you are like a battery, you have life, you have charge, and you keep giving all day long. And that battery is eventually going to lose power, and eventually needs to be recharged. Today there's no better way to do that than online and at trade shows." Cartier responded, "You have to re-invent yourself and your classroom all the time. As a platform artist and motivational speaker I can't tell the same story every single class. You have to tweak it and twist it. Think up different educational techniques, change your protocol, keep it fresh."
When asked about competition work, panel members replied: "Always remember to have a great model from head to toe. Competition work is really another way of getting yourself out there—it can be as simple as just entering or writing about it," says Sonya Dove. "If you are promoting yourself as a competitor in a competition, you have to talk about it from beginning to end. You have to raise your game, prepare for it, train for it, and get ready for that game day," says Mahloch.
After the panel, Team I.C.A.N. made an unforgettable entrance, each doing platform work. When asked about sources of inspiration, the members mentioned texture, shapes, architecture, and art. "I always want to do something with a lot of movement, texture and shape—whether it's a triangle, rectangle, square and you just put it all together," says Brenton Lee of West Covina, California. "A hair cut and color have to have fluidity. My inspiration comes from music, geometrics and always sketching when an idea pops into my head—remember to always write it down!" says Kathryn Hornick of Minneapolis.
Twenty-four cosmetology student finalists competed for the places of gold, silver and bronze. "We are so proud of these incredible students who share Wella's passion for our profession," says Fabio Sementilli, Wella creative and technical director. "Wella is committed to supporting stylists throughout every stage of their career. This competition shines the spotlight on student stylists who create beauty and defy convention. This community of young, driven and talented stylists is our next generation of professionals."

Catalonia readies for large pro-independence march
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — The Catalonia region was gearing up Tuesday for what organizers hoped could be its largest ever demonstration in favor of breaking away from the rest of Spain.
Supporters of Catalan independence were optimistic that Wednesday's demonstration will draw more than the 1 million people who filled Barcelona streets last year on the region's Sept. 11 public holiday.
Independence campaigners plan to create a human chain stretching for over 400 kilometers (250 miles) across the economically powerful northeastern region.
The Catalan National Assembly, the group organizing the human chain, says more than 300,000 people have signed up on a website to be part of it.
The expected display of separatist sentiment comes at a critical juncture for the pro-independence movement, which since last year has been pushing for a referendum to be held in Catalonia before the end of 2014.
The Spanish government has said that such a ballot would be unconstitutional. But Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy recently met privately with Catalonia's regional leader, Artur Mas, in an apparent effort to defuse the political tension and heal grievances.
Many regional leaders, like Mas, have in recent times expressed anger about austerity policies imposed by the central government in Madrid. Those measures, designed to cut the national debt, have cut deeply into regional budgets and forced a scaling-back of some public services.
Mas says he is trying to reach a deal with Rajoy on a referendum "agreed to or tolerated by" the Spanish government. But if that is not possible then a second option would be waiting until regional elections in 2016, which would be used as a proxy vote on independence, according to Mas.
Polls indicate that the majority of Catalans agree on holding a referendum, but there is not a clear majority for independence in the region which has its own cultural traditions and language, existing side-by-side with Spanish.
Opinion surveys in the region of 7.5 million people have shown support for independence stands around 50 percent, with that support falling if independence means exiting the European Union.

It is possible that the main title of the report Chromosome 9, Tetrasomy 9p is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Chromosome 9, Tetrasomy 9p is a very rare chromosomal disorder in which the short arm of the ninth chromosome (9p) appears four times (tetrasomy) rather than twice in all or some cells of the body. Individuals with a normal chromosomal make-up (karyotype) have two 9th chromosomes, both of which have a short arm ("9p") and a long arm ("9q"). However, in individuals with Chromosome 9, Tetrasomy 9p, four short arms (9ps) are present in cells rather than the normal two.
The symptoms of Chromosome 9, Tetrasomy 9p may vary greatly in range and severity from case to case. Associated abnormalities may include mild growth retardation, moderate to severe delay in the attainment of skills requiring the coordination of muscular and mental activities (psychomotor retardation), and/or moderate to severe mental retardation. In addition, the disorder may be characterized by various physical abnormalities, such as malformations of the skull and facial (craniofacial) region, abnormalities of the hands and fingers, skeletal malformations, and/or heart (cardiac) defects. Chromosome 9, Tetrasomy 9p appears to result from spontaneous (de novo) errors very early in embryonic development that occur for unknown reasons (sporadically).

Untold Millions Suffer Embarrassment of Conspicuous Red-Faced Disorder
BARRINGTON, Illinois (April 2, 2009) -- As if today's economy were not stressful enough, growing millions of Americans now face the embarrassment of a mysterious red-faced disorder that can wreak havoc on their emotional, social and professional lives. April has been designated as Rosacea Awareness Month by the National Rosacea Society (NRS) to alert the public to the warning signs of this chronic but treatable facial disorder now estimated to affect well over 14 million Americans.
"Whether it's a job interview or simply a social occasion, few things can be more disconcerting for many than developing a red face or blemishes," said Dr. John Wolf, chairman of dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine. "While the initial signs of rosacea may come and go, without proper diagnosis and appropriate medical therapy the disorder can grow progressively more persistent and severe."
Rosacea usually first strikes individuals between the ages of 30 and 60, and may initially resemble a simple sunburn or an inexplicable blush. Suddenly, without warning, a flush comes to their cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. Then just when they start to feel concerned, the redness disappears.
Unfortunately, it happens again and again, becoming ruddier and lasting longer each time -- and eventually, visible blood vessels may appear. Without treatment, bumps and pimples often develop, growing more extensive over time, and burning, itching and stinging are common.
In severe cases, especially in men, the nose may become enlarged from the development of excess tissue. This is the condition that gave comedian W.C. Fields his trademark red, bulbous nose. In some people the eyes are also affected, feeling irritated and appearing watery or bloodshot. Severe cases of this condition, known as ocular rosacea, can result in reduced visual acuity.
Adding to medical concerns, new study results and other factors suggest that rosacea may be substantially more prevalent than is widely believed. Results of an NRS-funded study, recently presented by Dr. Maeve McAleer and colleagues from Mater Misericordiae University Hospital in Dublin, for example, found that 14.4 percent of 1,000 subjects examined in Ireland had rosacea.
"As a chronic condition characterized by flare-ups and remissions, the prevalence of rosacea may appear to be lower because the signs and symptoms are not present at all times in every individual affected by the disorder," Dr. Wolf said. "As a result, the number of people who suffer from rosacea may be substantially higher than has been traditionally reported."
Beyond its physical effects, rosacea often inflicts significant emotional, social and professional concerns because of its intrusive impact on personal appearance.
Compounding the embarrassment is the common myth that rosacea sufferers, who often have a red face and nose, are heavy drinkers. In fact, while alcohol may aggravate rosacea, these symptoms can be just as severe in a teetotaler. Another common misconception is that rosacea is caused by poor hygiene; while in reality it is unrelated to personal cleanliness.
"The good news is that, while rosacea cannot be cured, it can be effectively controlled with medical therapy and lifestyle changes," Dr. Wolf said. Individuals with any of the following warning signs of rosacea are urged to see a dermatologist for diagnosis and appropriate treatment:
Redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead
Small visible blood vessels on the face
Bumps or pimples on the face
Watery or irritated eyes
During April and throughout the year, people who suspect they may have rosacea can call the society's toll-free number at 1-888-NO-BLUSH to receive free information on rosacea. Information and materials are also available on the society's Web site at rosacea.org. Further information and educational materials may be obtained by writing the National Rosacea Society, 800 S. Northwest Highway, Suite 200, Barrington, Illinois 60010, or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli on Friday projected the economic damage from Hurricane Sandy could exceed $18 billion for New York state.
"These are difficult days for New Yorkers as we work to clean up and recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy," he said. "Lives have been lost, homes and property destroyed, and businesses large and small remain paralyzed across New York City, Long Island, the Hudson Valley and the greater metropolitan region.
"My office's preliminary estimate of economic losses due to the storm ranges from $15 billion to $18 billion. Our daily infrastructure of highways, power, sewer and water - the elements of modern life that we take for granted - have all been altered by this storm. Though the rebuilding effort may offset some of these losses, we must continue to monitor what the long-term economic impact to New York will be."
The comptroller is projecting that tax revenue collections for the state, which are already $436 million below initial projections, will be affected in the short term. DiNapoli will issue his early outlook for the upcoming state fiscal year next week.
DiNapoli's estimate of $15 billion to $18 billion is based on initial assessments in relation to previous natural disasters. Economic losses include disruption to daily business and the loss of property and wealth, some of which may not be included in other estimates. Preliminary estimates of the fiscal impact of Hurricane Sandy are speculative, DiNapoli said, as there are many unresolved economic variables, from the duration of power outages to the effects of flooding on infrastructure and the environment.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority was facing fiscal strain before the storm. And some local governments hit hard by Sandy, such as the city of Long Beach, were already experiencing severe stress. DiNapoli notes that while federal assistance will cover the full cost of emergency public transportation and power restoration, he supports the push by Governor Cuomo, senators Schumer and Gillibrand, and the New York delegation for full federal reimbursement for all repair and recovery costs.
To expedite recovery, DiNapoli has notified state agencies that his office is accelerating approval of contracts and payments related to hurricane recovery, as it did last year after Hurricane Irene. DiNapoli will also monitor spending closely to ensure funds are spent appropriately and to assist storm victims.
"The sooner we get contractors on the ground to assist residents and business owners, the faster New York will be back on its feet," he said.
DiNapoli's preliminary review of economic sectors found
•Ongoing disruption of New York's financial sector is expected to be minimal. But because it accounts for about 14 percent of the state's tax collections and about 7 percent of the city's, any negative storm aftershocks could have significant implications.
•Infrastructure, including highways, airports, seaports, sewer and water systems, was severely impacted and is still undergoing damage assessments. While much of the cost may be covered by insurance or federal assistance, damage would be in the tens of billions. Rapid remediation would reduce damage from the corrosive effects of water, pollutants and other factors.
•The storm may prevent New York City from breaking last year's records for tourist spending and attendance if the recovery continues into the holiday season. New York City tourism is the city's fifth largest industry.
•Flooding of sewer and water systems and their overflows will exacerbate cleanup efforts and raise health concerns. Toxicity assessments may be required near contaminated sites such as Newtown Creek and Gowanus Canal. The full extent of environmental hazards is yet to be determined.
•Mitigating the risks associated with future storms is essential. A 2010 report by the New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force projected sea level rise in the state's coastal regions of two to five inches by the 2020s. A coordinated effort is vital to address risks as more powerful storms are being predicted.
The comptroller has directed his staff to prepare a more comprehensive analysis of the economic impact on the city, state and local governments as more concrete information becomes available.

October 15, 1913 - January 27, 2013
Tamarac, FL - Formerly of Monticello, NY
Bernard Smith, 99, passed away on January 27, 2013 in Tamarac, FL. The son of the late Marion and Fred Smith, he was born on October 15, 1913 in Liberty, NY, one of seven brothers and one sister.
He married Gloria Pesetti Smith in 1948 and they happily celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1998, shortly before Gloria's death in 1999.
Bernie served two and a half years as a tail gunner in the US Army Air Corp, from 1943 to 1945, while serving in the European Theatre during World War II. From the mid 1930's through the late 1950's, he was the manager of the Monticello Inn in Monticello, NY. He then went on to manage the Middletown Motel in Middletown, NY for approximately 20 years, through to his retirement.

CHICAGO (AP) — More than four years after crushing debt and plunging advertising sales forced it to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Tribune Co. has emerged with a new television-focused board and over $1 billion in new financing.
Led by such creative and technology heavyweights as Ross Levinsohn, the former interim CEO of Yahoo Inc., and Peter Murphy, former strategic officer of The Walt Disney Co., the board's roster suggests a focus on the company's TV assets rather than newspapers, which haven't managed to turn around declines in readership and advertising. Peter Liguori, a former TV executive at Discovery Communications Inc. and News Corp.'s Fox, is expected to be named CEO in the next several weeks.
The exit closes a dark period for Tribune, which was founded in 1847 with a hand-cranked print run of 400 copies of the Chicago Tribune. It founded the WGN broadcasting brand with a radio station in 1924 and a TV station in 1948. The call letters stood for "World's Greatest Newspaper." Tribune first went public in 1983 valued at $206 million — one of the biggest IPOs of its day — and expanded over the years into a media giant through acquisitions of TV stations such as KTLA in Los Angeles and newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, The Baltimore Sun and Newsday. It also owns a stake in the Food Network and online job site CareerBuilder.com.
In 2006, pressured by its long-sagging stock price and dissident shareholders, Tribune put itself on the block. Sam Zell, a Chicago real estate mogul who made his fortune in commercial real estate but had little experience with the media industry, took the company private in a leveraged buyout that valued Tribune at about $8.2 billion.
But the deal ballooned Tribune's debt load from $5 billion to more than $13 billion just as the Great Recession hit. Advertising revenue plummeted across the industry, which was also struggling with steep declines in circulation as readers found free access to news, sports and entertainment online. Less than a year after Zell closed the deal, Tribune filed for Chapter 11 protection.
The company's restructuring dragged on for years due to fraud allegations and dueling lawsuits between creditors. In the end, the parties agreed to a plan that included payouts of nearly $3 billion in cash to creditors and turned ownership over to senior lenders including Oaktree Capital Management, Angelo Gordon and Co., and JPMorgan Chase and Co.
The emerging Tribune is estimated to be worth about $4.5 billion, with television assets generating most of its value. Newspapers — seen as accounting for less than 15 percent of its value today — are expected to be sold off in a process that will likely see several bidders.
"Tribune is the poster child for the demise of the metropolitan newspaper," said Ken Doctor, a newspaper industry analyst with Outsell Inc. "Tribune remains a media company but likely drops the part of media that gave it its name and its birth, which is its newspapers."
Doctor says he expects that the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune could be sold for around $600 million to $700 million. Interested bidders include News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch, Freedom Communications owner Aaron Kusher, who bought the Orange County Register this summer, and Carlos Slim, the Mexican billionaire who invested in The New York Times Co., Doctor said.
As part of the restructuring, Tribune closed on a new $1.1 billion senior secured term loan and a $300 million revolving credit line. The loan will fund payments required under the reorganization plan, and the credit line will pay for its ongoing operations.
CEO Eddy Hartenstein said Monday that Tribune "emerges from the bankruptcy process as a multimedia company with a great mix of profitable assets, strong brands in major markets and a much-improved capital structure." He noted that the company's restructuring ensures that Tribune's subsidiary creditors and vendors receive payment "in full-100 percent recovery of what they are owed."
Hartenstein will remain at the helm for the next several weeks until the new board meets to designate executive officers.

SHOT Show buzzing about new gun control measures
LAS VEGAS — (www.utsandiego.com), On the day when President Barrack Obama announced 23 executive orders, many dealing with gun control to attack gun violence in America, membership sign-ups at the National Rifle Association booth here at the gun industry's annual convention were brisk.
One NRA employee refused to comment on whether the amount of sign-ups were more than normal, but hardly a minute passed without someone stopping by to either become a new NRA member or renew.
It was as if the attendees were taking very seriously a warning issued the previous night by a former U.S. Governor. On the eve of President Obama's announcement, former Mississippi Gov. Hayley Barbour warned the shooting industry that the worst is yet to come from our political leaders.
"Make no mistake about it, you are under siege . . . you are under attack," Hayley said, speaking Tuesday night at the SHOT Show's annual State of the Industry Dinner.
But it was clear that Obama's announcement shook many members of the gun industry who are here for the 35th annual SHOT Show, a gathering of more than 60,000 men and women connected to the gun industry. That includes 2,000 media.
Gun dealers and manufacturers who readily talked Tuesday about their guns refused to comment on Wednesday after Obama's announcement. It was especially true at booths here that are offering what some label "military-style weapons," at least by Obama's definition. It was the second day of the SHOT Show. SHOT stands for Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade Show.
At Remington Arms Co. booth, company representatives referred all questions about gun issue to Teddy Novin, the company spokesman. He passed through the booth, but said he was swamped with requests and would get back. He didn't.
Over at NRA News booth Wednesday, radio talk show host Cam Edwards spoke out against Obama's proposals. One of his guests, Oliver North, a combat-decorated Marine Lt. Colonel and conservative columnist and author, took a strong stance against Obama.
"I don't see how some of these measures are going to help him do what he says he wants to do," North said shortly after being a guest on Edwards' show. "I don't see how the appearance of a firearm is going to change a thing in terms of protecting kids. I don't see how you could constitutionally say that in order to purchase ammunition for a firearm that you have to now get a background check. I don't see how some of these things are going to be effective in accomplishing anything except an infringement on what is supposed to be an uninfringeable Second Amendment."
Outside the NRA booth, Molly Smith, a 16-year-old member of the Smith & Wesson shooting team from Cambria, Calif., and a junior team captain, said she shoots an eight-shot 627 Smith & Wesson revolver in competitions. New York's new tough gun laws passed late Monday night in Albany actually outlaw any gun clips that hold more than seven shots. President Obama is calling for a ban on any clips with more than 10 shots.
"My focus is to make sure there is gun safety," Smith said. "That's why I'm here. I do action shooting, so that means shooting on the move, shooting at moving targets. That's what I love. But I believe in safety first."
Randy Johnson of Ultimate Firearms out of Howell, Mich., was at the NRA booth to renew his membership in the gun advocacy group. He said he does it every year at the SHOT Show or some other gun-related show. He said Obama's new gun laws, if passed by Congress, won't affect his company's biggest seller, muzzleloaders, but it will impact some of the company's guns and many manufactured by others.
"I haven't heard it all today, but I did hear they're going to address the mental illness issue, and that's good," Johnson said. "Every state hospital I ever heard of has closed down and is not being used anymore. They're blaming the gun, but every time I get in a car accident I'd like to blame it on the car, but I can't. It's not the hammer's fault when I smash my thumb. It's not the fork's fault that I'm fat. It just drives me nuts. It's just ludicrous."
In the afternoon, the NRA issued a statement, saying in part, "Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation. Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy."

I Spit On Your Grave (UK - BD RB)
Our Marcus just wants to skip to the revenge part in this remake on BD...
Writer Jennifer Hills (Sarah Butler) rents a cabin in the middle of nowhere to write her next book. Intending on spending a few months alone while she works, Sarah is attacked and brutally gang raped by a group of locals, including the sheriff (Andrew Howard), and after narrowly escaping is presumed dead.
Not long after, strange things begin to happen to Jennifer's attackers as their not-so-dead victim wreaks her revenge.
Despite not having seen the original 1980s movie, I knew full well what I was in for with this remake. I Spit On Your Grave is sort of renowned for its brutal gang rape scene (a large reason why I never ventured out to watch it) and with a remake landing in a time where horror seems to be allowed to go anywhere, watching this story unfold was uncomfortable to say the least.
The first twenty minutes are about as typical as they come: a pretty girl going out of her way to put herself in the unsafest situation in the realms of moviedom; a whole host of unsavoury characters being unsavoury for no real reason; and then a pretty hammy scene in which the three attackers (along with their mentally retarded friend) discuss the reasons why they can do what they want to the "big city bitch". This ain't subtle by any means, but despite all that the moment Johnny (Jeff Branson) and his boys arrive on Jennifer's front door step the horror of what's about to happen to Jennifer sinks in and director Steven R. Monroe milks it for all it's worth.
Now again, none of this is played subtle. In fact, lead attacker Johnny is playing it so big he may as well throw us some jazz hands for effect and his cliché "boys" are about as typical as movie thugs come, but that doesn't really take away from the menacing situation because three intimidating men toying with a very defenceless woman in the middle of the woods is always going to be a nasty watch. Of course they break the tension for a bit with Jennifer escaping, but when she finds the small town sheriff and he takes her back to the cabin "to check things out" you know full well he's not the straight up guy he appears to be, and when his "back up" is the boys again and the movie heads into the rape scenes, this remake goes all out to earn it's stripes.
The scene is long, with the horrific situation unravelling as expected. If I'm honest, movies really only need to hint at rape themes and they leave a bad taste in my mouth, so I found this whole thing a bit of a tough watch even without it being as graphic as modern filmmaking could have pushed it. So when it comes to the second half and presumed dead Miss Hills starts picking off her attackers in weird and wonderful and of course fucked up ways, I was more than ready to watch these bastards get their comeuppance.
There's a slightly overlong build-up to seeing Jennifer again and I found myself saying "Come on already" for about ten minutes, but when she does turn up I Spit On Your Grave turns into a fun ride with torture devices, bear traps, baths of acid, and of course the much advertised garden shear penis cut. What lets that all down slightly though is that I couldn't get a read on Jennifer's character in the second half in that I know why she's doing all this stuff, but I didn't really see a character there. I never really felt her anger or disconnection, she was simply fucking up her attackers and repeating some of the things they had said to her during her attack. In many ways it was like a ghost out for revenge as opposed to a real life person, which of course is probably intentional to a certain degree, but when she also seemed to take time out to do her hair between kills, nothing really added up for me on the realistic front.
The transfer here is stark and most of the colour has been blasted out with bright saturated light. Colours are there but rarely look all that natural, with blues muted to iffy looking turquoises and everything else left looking a bit off. Really the only shots that looked natural are the autumnal wide shots going into the woods.
The image is clean, but unless it's pitch black night black levels look closer to murky dark blues, and beside the handful of super close up's (like on Jennifer's discarded gingham flip flop) detail is only really hinted at in certain elements as opposed to fully on show, leaving only Jennifer's glossy hair or Johnny's stubble popping in HD consistently, though there are a few texture moments that shine.
The style of the movie doesn't look unlike a movie version of TV's Supernatural (well at least the early seasons) in its visuals, and even though it looks pretty good overall in this HD transfer it's maybe a little too stylised to sell the reality of the horrific situation in places.
A good direction here was to leave the score to a minimum, relying on the visuals to sell the horror. Because of this we have strong dialogue, sound effects and atmospherics and when the score does come in (usually to make you jump or to make you feel uneasy) it's all the more effective.
Dynamic sound effects like "something" moving around in the woods or banging on the walls or creepy stuff like that sit well in the rear speakers building a wider space to make us feel all the more secluded. Chirping birds add to that and of course the attackers closing in make for a good use of surrounds.
Generally the track's show-off moments come down to screaming, grisly sound effects, begging for mercy and stuff happening off camera to freak us out. All of this works well and even though it's not the fullest track I've heard, it's an effective one for the most part.
There's not really that much to talk about here. There's 'The Revenge of Jennifer Hills' (13:22 HD), which is basic talking heads stuff with the cast intercut with on-set footage and then the teaser (00:59 HD) and theatrical (01:22 HD) trailers along with a radio spot (00:18).
If I Spit On Your Grave was the first horror I ever saw it would be quite effective I think. It gets the basics right and offers up enough visually disturbing moments to sit comfortable in the current horror crowd. However, this isn't the first horror I've ever seen, so the paint by numbers set up and the curveballs it throws feel about as trodden in as a pair of old shoes despite having a truly horrific main event to hold onto to.
With little in the way of features, but solid A/V, I Spit On Your Grave is certainly worth a disturbing horror fan's time, but guys out there, you might not want to suggest this one for a Valentine's Day viewing.

Review by Marcus Doidge
Best film of 2010 imo and some of the most brutal scenes i've seen at the cinema for quite a while. It's not only an improvement on the original but also a respectful homage to it with much of the cinematography playing nicely to the look and colour tones of it. For any fans of the original, this is an essential purchase.
Get the region one DVD or BD it's uncut.

wasn't this cut?

seventeen cuts. Man that is a disgrace!
BBFC shame on you for even cutting the home release as well. I guess you don't want the movie to make money on home video as well!
BBFC shame on you for even cutting the home release as well. I guess you don't want the movie to make money on home video as well!
17 cuts equalling 43secs!!! Usually i'd hate cut films but the footage was replaced with alternative footage, so the R1 is not the uncut version as such, but rather just a different version of the film. Also, you really don't notice those 43secs of cuts... it's still remains one of the most brutal films i saw last year!
No the Region one is the full uncut version unrated in the USA.
Yes, but the UK version has footage which is not included in the US cut of the film.

i was surprised i liked this movie. i don't care for the original but this was a pretty decent remake. i admit that the Sarah Butler's acting at times was very spotty though. but this is DEFINITELY a worthy remake.

Not true. The filmmakers simply zoomed in the footage (to hide nudity) in some of the rape scenes, thus creating "new" footage. They also just outright cut some footage out. The zooming is pretty bad, in that the black bars sometimes disappear at the edges of the frame. The US editions are, as kinglasgow says, uncut.

AZiO L3VETRON GM2000 Gaming Mouse and AZiO L3VETRON Mech5 Mechanical Keyboard Review
L3VETRON Introduction:
AZiO is a new name here at OCC; well at least from the review stand point. Some of you may have heard of AZiO before – but may not have realized the market of gaming peripherals offered. But don't get me wrong, AZiO has a broad range of peripherals not only for gaming, but for home theaters and even the office environment. Today we're going to focus in on some of the gaming items AZiO has on the market right now as part of the L3VETRON series. Although, somewhat of a tacky name, adding a 3 like l33t – the follow up with the crosshairs for an O makes the name look quite right written out. Besides the point, we'll be looking at the AZiO L3VETRON Mech5 Gaming Keyboard and the AZiO L3VETRON GM-2000 Gaming Mouse; all a part of a little AZiO roundup (though I'll tell you a secret – there's more AZiO to come).
L3VETRON Closer Look:
First up in its box is the L3VETRON Mech5. The front of the box sports the features of mechanical keys, the modular design, the Windows on/off key, and quite a list of detailed "wants". The picture shows the keyboard with all the included accessories attached and glowing in its fierce red around the macro keys and volume knob. It doesn't look too bad – I just hope that's what's actually inside. The back of the box goes on with more detail on the features; it has Cherry MX Black switches under those keys and supports quite the arrange-able setup with a movable number pad and sliding macro D-Pad. This should be a lot of fun to play with.
The box itself is pretty neat and I like the play on number/lettering. L3VETRON with a three and crosshairs is shown around every side of the box – all the edges and front and back. It's an interesting name for a series and quite frankly I like the way AZiO went with it. Inside the box is a neat black box hiding all the goods. A ghosted L3VETRON logo faintly shows on the box with a bright "by AZiO" signature to follow. It looks well bundled and sports the cost – but the moment of truth shall tell us if the $110 price tag is worth it.
Opening up the black box, the keyboard is tightly packed in form fitted cardboard with a plastic bag for extra safety (not sure it's safety but it keeps it clean and dry from whatever crazy weather the delivery guy leaves your box in). Unpacking the goods – there is quite a bit here: the keyboard itself, a detached number pad, a six button macro pad, and some starting guides/driver CD. There's plenty to play with here and lots to discuss ahead - read along!
The mouse box follows a similar theme. L3VETRON is shown on all sides of the box as well as some nice pictures of the mouse to go along. The mouse is featured with an ergonomic design with six buttons and three on-the-fly DPI settings. The back of the box goes on to share these features in eight different languages with a table summarizing the features (on the specs and features page) all in English. With a peak in window the box is ready for the shelf.
