Having problems with your Casio Exilim EX-V7 Digital Camera ?
Dropped the EX-V7 in China and it went blank.
\015 From the top of the television this week-old camera fell. Right on the corner. Leaving a minor dent. Unlike others who dropped their camera, I do not get anything when I turn on my camera except a flashing light above the zoom and few beeps. If I plug it into my computer I get the same response. But, when I hold down the playback, menu, and left directional button the screen turns on saying "VER 1.00". So at least the screen is not broken. And as far as I can tell nothing else is broken, but obviously something is missing in between.Which brings me to the next problem. I'm in China. My buddy sent me the camera. The New Jersey office said I could ship it all the way back to the states but that would be quite the expensive ship to fix a camera. Does anyone know anything about a Chinese branch? or Hong Kong branch? A simple number would even help because honestly I am very far from being up to par on reading Chinese?Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.\015

Could easily be interpreted the wrong way. That's valid point.
You could be just snapping or it would be defensive if you are Scum. I'm just waiting to end out the result if he was scum or not then we can go back review who voted for him and who waited.
Not saying their Scum.
But it makes it Scum-Suspect.
Wait, not voting on someone for being gone for a day and then going to bed is suspicious? It's never a good idea to end day earlier than necessary (i.e. when I nearly had a nervous breakdown and voted Worge to death in the last game, causing an SK win).
FoS holz for trying to lynch people early.
Like I said before, dragging out days is good for the town in most situations. If I had waited out the day last game (yes, I'm using this example yet again) town probably would have won.
Death would be a welcome embrace.
http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...0#post20408930) that he'll get lynched and there's no need to vote him (I'll still give him a chance to CC/RC and wait out the irrelevant day at this point) than lynch a potential cop/doctor/etc... You're just being impatient, and that isn't going to justify changing my mind. Unless you have reason to suspect Themius is scum (more than "he hasn't posted yet") I see zero reason to rush a lynch. Statistically speaking, I'd say the most likely people to be scum right now are the 3rd through 5th vote on Themius.
Well I already stated that I'd wait until morning and if Themius hadn't shown up, I'd cast my vote. With nothing else to go on, I see no reason why lynch all lurkers shouldn't go through.
Vote Themius
He's been actively posting on Gen OT, he replied to his confirmation PM, so provided he then got his role PM he knows the game is on.

Having signed for Chelsea last summer, Christian Atsu http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/topic/christian-atsu/ is impressing for Vitesse Arnhem http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/topic/chelsea-fc/ , but will it be enough to break into Chelsea's side next season? http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/topic/vitesse-arnhem/
While the likes of Willian and Nemanja Matic thrive in their new surroundings, one recent Chelsea signing was almost instantly sent on loan to Vitesse Arnhem.
The Dutch club is proving to be an excellent second home for the Blues http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/topic/chelsea-fc/ ' youngsters, with the likes of Lucas Piazon, Patrick van Aanholt and Bertrand Traore all currently plying their trade there and – in the case of the former two – excelling.
But while plenty has been written about Piazon and van Aanholt, what of Christian Atsu, the attacking midfielder who arrived at Stamford Bridge from FC Porto for £3.5million and was immediately on his way again, continuing his footballing education in the Eredivisie?
Atsu's story has vague similarities to another recent Chelsea acquisition , Mohamed Salah.
In both cases Liverpool were reportedly interested (although with Atsu both Tottenham Hotspur and Everton were also said to be keen http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/421543/Tottenham-and-Everton-step-up-chase-for-Liverpool-target-Christian-Atsu ) and on both occasions the player ended up signing for Jose Mourinho's side.
However, while Salah is set to stake his claim for a first-team spot in London, Atsu will be in Holland until the summer, at which point a decision on his next steps will be made.
While Piazon has become Vitesse's most valuable player – scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists in just 20 appearances – Atsu has still had his moments.
The Ghanaian has scored two goals and provided three assists in 14 matches, and he has started all but one of those (his debut, when he still managed to set up a goal despite only featuring for 13 minutes).
Atsu's pass-completion percentage is currently 86.8% – higher than both Piazon and van Aanholt – while he averages 1.7 key passes and 1.4 dribbles per game.
In short, his loan spell is going very well indeed.
The only question is whether Mourinho can find a place for him in the Chelsea squad next season.
Do you think Atsu will be in Mourinho's plans next season?

A Minneapolis City Council committee voted Monday to revoke the rental licenses of 16 North Side properties, angering housing advocates who claimed tenants were being unfairly forced from their homes.
If approved by the full council Friday, the action stripping landlord Ron Folger of permission to rent the homes would be the third-biggest revocation of rental licenses for a single owner by the city.
Fifth Ward Council Member Don Samuels said afterward that the council vote will "send a message that you will have to keep properties in good condition with good conduct or you will be not be able to rent in Minneapolis."
Peter Brown, secretary of the Minnesota Tenants Union, said he felt "kicked in the stomach" by the vote and that the units' tenants will be victims. Tenants Union members attending the committee hearing chanted "heartless" at council members after the vote.
Elizabeth Glidden, committee chairwoman, acknowledged the Tenants Union's concerns, proposing the eviction of tenants of the 14 rented houses and two rented duplexes be stayed for 90 days or longer "to ensure that affected tenants are relocated to suitable housing arrangements" and city staff work to help relocate the tenants. That motion also passed unanimously.
Before the hearing, Brown had suggested the properties be placed in court-ordered receivership and the tenants allowed to stay in place. But city officials said that wasn't possible because Folger's licenses were being revoked for his having incurred two prior revocations, not for current housing code violations.
Glidden said city ordinance requires the revocation of all rental licenses of a property owner for five years if the owner has two or more revocations. The council revoked one Folger license in January when he failed to produce a management plan after a tenant was arrested for drug dealing on the premises.
A second rental license was revoked in April for Folger's failure to meet an inspector to check whether violations had been corrected on a house.
The violations included "deteriorated ceilings" in the bathroom, "broken and missing glass in storm windows and primary windows," "torn, split or missing screening," no carbon monoxide alarm and a "chirping" smoke detector on the first floor, lack of proper handrails on the basement stairs, and a rotten cabinet base beneath a kitchen sink.
The inspections department has cited him for 368 violations on 15 properties since 2009.
At the committee meeting, Folger blamed a housing manager for failure to evict the tenant selling drugs, and said a tenant had changed the locks on the other house, making it a problem to gain entry.
Folger, who lives in Oakdale, said in an earlier interview that he started buying homes in 2005 during the foreclosure meltdown. He was also working in the Star Tribune mailroom, and said he felt overwhelmed by his responsibilities. He recently retired.
Samuels defended the revocations of Folger's licenses, calling him a "slumlord" in comments after the meeting. He said that several years ago the council approved the ordinance to revoke all rental licenses after two revocations, because some landlords with five or six revocations were still being allowed to rent. Residents were fleeing the North Side because of crime and deteriorated housing conditions, he said.
Glidden said Monday's proceeding was a "quasi-judicial hearing" and not a public hearing, so the public could not speak. That upset some in the crowd. Bill McGaughey, a leader of the Minneapolis Property Rights Action Committee, a landlord group, led the "heartless" chants.
The regulatory services department had planned to revoke 17 of Folger's licenses, but the department said Monday one property had been sold.
Glidden said Folger could appeal the council action to the Minnesota Court of Appeals and Folger said afterward that he planned to do so.

Salivary gland cancer is a heterogenous group of tumors in terms of histopathology. Different types of adenocarcinomas are the main group, and malignant tumors originate most often from the parotid gland.
The salivary glands include the:
The salivary glands also include numerous small glands in the oral cavity and nasal mucosa.
Treatment for salivary gland cancer and the patient's sequelae of the treatment will have great consequences for the patient's appearance. The extent of the changes depends on the localization and stage of the tumor. In order to reduce the burdens the treatment can cause, thorough information and follow-up is critical (2).
Cancer of the salivary glands constituted 6% of the total number of newly diagnosed head and neck cancers in Norway. 48 new cases of salivary gland cancer were registered in 2013. (1).

Dutch media company VNU, owner of Nielsen Media Research, agreed Monday to acquire U.S.-based healthcare data provider IMS Health Inc. in a cash and stock deal valued at $6.57 billion, marking one of the biggest consolidations in the growing industry of data collection.
The purchase, expected to close in the first quarter of next year, will be VNU's largest since buying the Nielsen television ratings provider in 2001. The joint company would have had an estimated revenue of $5.6 billion in 2004, VNU said.
"Together, we will be able to measure our clients' performance in three key sectors of the global economy -- consumer packaged goods, healthcare and media," said VNU Chief Executive Rob van den Bergh, who will be CEO of the combined company.
Connecticut-based IMS, which operates in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector, sells clients information on how their products are used, and therefore matches the profile of other VNU units. The company earned $30.3 million on $411 million in sales in the first quarter, up 11% from a year earlier.

It all started with these shoes that I wore to work this morning....for about an hour.
|[Image Source]
Then I quickly changed to these.
I hadn't jogged since Tuesday and I felt sort of off, but I pushed through anyways. It was kind of humid out, my sinuses were acting a bit funny in that humidity, but I kept going. It was only until my left leg started feeling heavier than I could bear that I knew I had to stop. I can't really describe it, but it felt like something was pinching or off somehow and even when I started walking, I couldn't walk it off. So I headed back to my car.
Yes, I stretched before and afterwards. I felt like some sad loser, but I figured it was better to stop and lose this battle than to do some damage and not be able to complete this program on schedule, thereby not being ready to participate in the 5K I signed up for. If it's any consolation, I did get 1.46 miles in before quitting and I still had a 10 minute jog and a 5 minute cool down to complete. If I had finished, I know I would have surpassed that 2 mile mark and then some.
So, we'll see what tomorrow morning holds. In the meantime, I'm going to do something I haven't done in so long I can't remember....I'm going to turn on the t.v. What???!!! And I think I'll do a little crafting tonight. :-)

Heckler & Koch Mk23 SOCOM, a .45 caliber pistol, with LAM and silencer. Used in Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Soild: Twin Snakes.
About this creation
This is a Heckler & Koch Mk23 "SOCOM" (or USSOCOM), a .45-caliber handgun.
Many may recognize this gun from its use in the game Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes (Playstation and Gamecube respectively). I mention this because it was a MGS-fanboy friend of mine that challenged me to make one. In the games, an attached LAM (laser aiming module) and silencer lent the SOCOM its familiar shape in the item window, and I have included an attachable LAM and silencer on this model.
Click here for a few reference pictures.
The diagonal orientation of normal Legos to make the grip is what gives the rest of the gun its shape, and also allows for an actual fillable magazine to enter. However, this creates a design flaw that makes a gaping hole in the side of the gun, so I covered it with a single panel.
I tried to get the slide to slide back normally in many ways, including springs, bands, and magnets. There is simply not enough room left for these methods to allow the slide to move back fully!
-Moving slide: Must be moved both ways manually. Assists the bullet in ejection.
-Bullet: The ejection slot is large enough to conceal a "spent cartridge" until the slide is pulled back, after which the casing is ejected.
-Magazine: Almost full size. Fillable with (albeit miniaturized) ammo. Ammo chamber can be replaced with a Lego weight for a more balanced feel.
-Silencer: Connects to outer barrel, actually has a barrel hole.
-LAM: Attachable "laser" with on/off flip switch and "indicator light" on right side, and adjustment knobs on the left side.
-Light Module: Another known Mk23 accessory. A black box with a reflective lens. On/off button and indicators on right side.
-Trigger and hammer: They move. Originally, I had it set up so that when you pulled the trigger, the hammer would come up. I scrapped that in favor of the ejecting bullet.
If anyone would like instructions, I will be happy to make them (however, be forewarned that a few special pieces are needed to make the entire gun!), but they may take a while to make, as many steps are taken to make it.

"There's a chance I play (Saturday)," Nash told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "But I think Christmas, for sure." He later said there is only a "low chance" he will play Saturday and will decide during Saturday's shootaround whether he'll play Saturday night against the Warriors. His decision will depend on how his body responds to Friday's practice and the opinion of the Lakers' trainers. Nash, 38, is recovering from a fractured fibula, and has said for several days that he expects to return on Tuesday (Christmas Day) when the Lakers host the New York Knicks. Nash was injured on Oct. 31 and has played in just two games this season. He has not played since Mike D'Antoni was named the team's head coach.

Passport's Burbank Hedges Slow Home Recovery: Mortgages
John Burbank, the hedge-fund manager who's betting on a global recession, plans to follow rivals in buying U.S. mortgage securities without government backing amid increasing signs the housing market is recovering.
Burbank's Passport Capital LLC will purchase non-agency mortgages to hedge investments that may underperform if property prices jump, said Jeff Kong, who's leading the effort. Raphael Gonzalez, most recently JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)'s co-head of trading for subprime mortgages, this month will join the San Francisco-based firm, which oversees $3.4 billion.
Other funds that are raising money for non-agency bonds or are already buying include Brevan Howard Asset Management LLP, D.E. Shaw & Co., Cerberus Capital Management LP and Canyon Partners LLC. They're being lured to the $1.1 trillion market by property prices that are stabilizing after the biggest real- estate crash since the 1930s, projected yields that exceed corporate debt even with record defaults priced in, and expectations that Europe's banks will sell to preserve capital.
"By adding a bigger credit component I have a portion that's long the recovery," Kong, who oversees $200 million in agency mortgage derivatives for Passport, said in a telephone interview. "The high returns available in RMBS have made mortgage strategies much more in vogue."
Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities lack guarantees from government-supported Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or U.S.-owned Ginnie Mae. The underlying loans range from so- called subprime mortgages granted to borrowers with poor credit to jumbo debt too large for taxpayers-backed programs.
Housing Rebound
Passport currently has home-loan investments that will outperform if refinancing among taxpayer-backed debt remains subdued, a trend that may continue if a worsening economy prevents a robust housing recovery. Buying non-agency bonds provides a hedge against a quick housing rebound that would increase prices of properties seized in foreclosures and reduce defaults.
New funds began jumping into the market as prices declined in 2011 as Europe's debt crisis roiled credit markets and the New York Federal Reserve tried selling securities it assumed during the 2008 bailout of insurer American International Group Inc.
The move paid off this year when values soared as European regulators sought to stem the region's sovereign-debt crisis, reducing the likelihood of banks selling assets and U.S. economic growth stalling. The Fed has sold more than $20 billion of the securities this year, underscoring demand.
Subprime Returns
Non-agency securities backed by subprime or second mortgages issued during the market's peak have returned more than 15 percent this year, according to Barclays Plc index data, as evidence grows of the housing recovery. The debt lost 5.5 percent last year, after gaining 26 percent in 2010.
The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities dropped 1.9 percent in April from a year earlier, the smallest decline since November 2010, after decreasing 2.6 percent in the year ended March and 34 percent from the peak in 2006. Purchases of new U.S. houses rose in May to a two-year high, the Commerce Department said, as the Fed pushes borrowing costs to record lows.
Subprime bonds, whose collapse in 2007 triggered the last financial crisis, are yielding 8.5 percent including expected losses for debt with projected average lives of seven years or more, according to JPMorgan data. That compares with 7.8 percent for high-yield company bonds before accounting for defaults, Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show.
European Sales
While the U.S. housing market is close to bottoming, it will take years for a full recovery, Kong said. European banks trying to reduce leverage and adhere to new capital rules will add to buying opportunities by selling U.S. non-agency debt, Passport's Kong said.
"These assets reside in many places, including sovereigns or offshore banks, particularly German and French banks," Kong said. "One of the events that I'm preparing for is if they do need to sell."
Fourteen of the largest European banks held U.S. residential-bond assets valued at as much as $55 billion at the start of this year, representing a 21 percent drop from mid-2011, according to an April report by Credit Suisse Group AG analysts.
Burbank, 48, made $370 million for himself in 2007 betting on a tumble in subprime mortgages. Now he's extremely bearish on global stocks because he expects the U.S. and much of the world to fall into recession. The hedge-fund manager is bearish on miners, financial and industrial companies and emerging-market stocks, the latter because he believes European banks don't have the capital to lend to companies there.
European Banks
D.E. Shaw, the $26 billion New York-based investment firm that uses computer models to pick trades, is planning a fund called Alkali whose investments will include European bank loans and residential mortgage-backed securities.
"We believe that a substantial portion of Alkali Fund's opportunity set will result from pressure on European banks to reduce their leverage," the firm said in a document dated April 2012 that was obtained by Bloomberg News. "We expect that a deleveraging in Europe will occur both actively through asset sales and passively through a reduction in origination of credit and willingness to roll over debt as it matures."
Motivated sellers of asset-backed securities will also include U.S. banks shutting down proprietary-trading desks, Brevan Howard said in a marketing document obtained by Bloomberg News.
Proprietary Traders
Passport's Gonzalez and John Angelica, a securitized- products salesman, resigned from JPMorgan as the New York-based bank and Bank of America Corp. (BAC) were cutting senior mortgage traders and salesmen, people familiar with the matter said in March. The two biggest U.S. banks were under pressure to cut expenses as the asset-backed securities market declined and faced stricter capital requirements on the investments.
Passport hired Kong in December 2010 to start the firm's mortgage strategy four years after Burbank's bet on a tumble in subprime home loans, a wager that lost about 20 percent that year and then earned his fund 220 percent in 2007, he said in a June interview. It was a contrarian call, he said. He bought credit-default swaps that protected against losses in subprime- mortgage bonds, and they paid off when foreclosures soared in 2007, Bloomberg Markets reported last June.
Kong spent 10 years at Don Brownstein's Structured Portfolio Management as manager of its $1 billion Structured Servicing Holdings LP. At the Stamford, Connecticut-based firm, Kong primarily traded so-called interest-only slices of non- agency mortgage bonds, whose returns are linked only to how fast borrowers refinance or default because holders aren't repaid any principal.
Best Returns
The flagship fund returned 50 percent in the first 10 months of 2010, putting it at the top of the Bloomberg Markets list of the 100 best-performing hedge funds managing $1 billion or more. Kong's fund at Passport rose 5 percent this year through May, according to a person briefed on the returns.
Returns that are topping other hedge-fund strategies is one reason why mangers are piling into the market, according to Rael Gorelick, co-founder and principal of $250 million Charlotte, North Carolina-based Gorelick Brothers Capital LLC, a dedicated fund of mortgage hedge funds invested in 20 managers, including those in non-agency and agency mortgage strategies, whole loans, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities.
"It's the only thing making money," Gorelick said in a telephone interview on June 26. "The primary reason people are buying is because of the returns. Capital will find the best risk-adjusted reward. Talent will flow to best risk-adjusted reward."
Mortgage funds, including those focused on government- backed debt, rose 10 percent on average this year through June, compared with a 0.9 percent gain for hedge funds across all strategies, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

text: Raise your hands if you have had the "divers seen huge catfish at the dam" story cirulated in your area. It usually goes something like this: "There were some scuba divers working at the bottom of the dam and they saw some huge catfish. One of the divers was so scared that he said he would never go down there again." There are several versions; divers checking out a bridge footing, divers looking for a drowning victim, divers recovering a sunk boat, etc. I heard it when I was a kid, and I accepted it as fact and always wondered what it would take to catch one. Of course since then I have found out that story has popped up around every body of water in just about every state in the country. I was fishing the other day and guess what I heard from someone, "hey, did you hear about those divers at the dam....blah blah blah." I guess it shows that urban legends were around waaaaaaay before the internet.

The Toshiba Thrive may only be a couple of months old at this point, but today Toshiba — or The Tosh, as I affectionately refer to the company — officially unveiled its new AT200 Honeycomb tablet. One of the biggest features of the AT200 that Toshiba is touting is its thickness, which measures out to be just 7.7mm. Other features include a 10.1-inch 1280x800 display, dual-core 1.2GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor, 5-megapixel camera, 2-megapixel front-facing shooter, micro HDMI output, up to 64GB of storage with a microSD card slot, and Android 3.2. Toshiba says that the AT200 will be hitting Europe in Q4 for an unnamed price. No word yet on when we can expect it in the U.S.
Toshiba's Thrive got a lot of attention for its wide array of ports and removable battery, but it was also knocked for being a tad on the chunky side compared to its tablet brothers. That's why it's not a shock to see the company pull a 180 and make the AT200 one of the thinnest slates around. Let's just hope that, by the time Toshiba gets around to releasing the AT200 here in the States, it can still claim that title. Get on it, Tosh!
Toshiba unveils its world-class, ultra-thin, ultra-light tablet
Toshiba AT200 tablet built to exceed expectations at only 7.7mm thin and 558g with full 10.1" screen
Neuss, Germany, 1st
September 2011 – Toshiba Europe GmbH unveiled an exciting new product today – the ultra-thin 25.7cm (10.1'') AT200 tablet. Despite measuring only 7.7mm from front to back, the Toshiba AT200 delivers a broad range of essential ports and interfaces. It offers an amazing wide-view display for comfortable content consumption plus full web browsing capabilities to meet the preferred usage for tablets. Every bit as powerful as it is stylish and robust, this tablet is built to exceed expectations. The Toshiba AT200 will be available in the fourth quarter of 2011 in Europe.
Ultra-thin, ultra-powerful
"The new ultra-thin 25.7cm (10.1") tablet Toshiba AT200, featuring Android™ 3.2, Honeycomb, is the latest in a long line of Toshiba products that are masterfully engineered", said Marco Perino, General Manager DS Digital Products Division. "With a thickness of only 7.7mm and a weight of just 558g, the elegant Toshiba AT200 is highly mobile yet extremely smart and powerful."
All essentials on-board
To connect with other devices the ultra-slim tablet comes with all essential interfaces and ports onboard: amongst them micro-USB, micro-SD, Wi-Fi™ and Bluetooth®. The micro-HDMI ®-port allows streaming HD content to the large screen of a TV. Front and back HD cameras are ideal for video conferencing and augmented reality applications.
High-quality media consumption - no matter where you are
The Toshiba AT200 allows users to enjoy videos at home and while out and about. It features a brilliant 25.7cm (10.1") high-definition screen that displays pictures with crisp colours and in full detail.

The DELAYED one should be easy to implement as the BTS SOAP interface [1] already has the notion of a log_modified attribute which holds the DateTime of last update of the bug (and a date attribute which is the DateTime of creation of the bug). The tags attribute in the BTS SOAP interface obviously contains the bug tags, but I'm unsure if that would be enough. It could be a start for confirmed, security and the like though. Should it be implemented in the PTS? How would DELAYED be defined, a fixed amount of days old? How would the selection of the tags be done?

Dynamic Amps DynaLead
Dynamic Amplifiers has introduced the third iteration of the Dynamic 2040 (40W) series of amplifiers, the 2040HG (High Gain) model also called the DynaLead. Paying homage to both "blackface" and "plexi" amplifiers of the '60s, this foot switchable two-channel amplifier takes the art one step further by creating a quasi-third channel, one that links the two, creating a very high gain lead option with its own gain and volume control. This amplifier also sports a 6-spring reverb tank with vintage reverb circuit and Power Step, a circuit that reduces power to 50 percent or 90 percent, with no loss of tone quality. Additionally, this class AB amp allows the user to switch output tubes as it is factory biased for 6V6, 6L6 and the EL34 tubes it comes with. This is facilitated with two externally accessed switches. External bias adjustment and unique tone circuits round out the package.
Dynamic amplifiers are all-tube, turret board construction, hand wired, and fitted with custom transformers. Available in head or combo format.

To sort out who's who and what's what in the enchanting, vexing world of Barbies® and Ninja Turtles®, Tinkertoys® and teddy bears, is to begin to see what's become of childhood in America. It is this changing world, and what it unveils about our values, that Gary Cross explores in Kids' Stuff, a revealing look into the meaning of American toys through this century.
Early in the 1900s toys reflected parents' ideas about children and their futures. Erector sets introduced boys to a realm of business and technology, while baby dolls anticipated motherhood and building blocks honed the fine motor skills of the youngest children. Kids' Stuff chronicles the transformation that occurred as the interests and intentions of parents, children, and the toy industry gradually diverged--starting in the 1930s when toymakers, marketing playthings inspired by popular favorites like Shirley Temple and Buck Rogers, began to appeal directly to the young. TV advertising, blockbuster films like Star Wars®, and Saturday morning cartoons exploited their youthful audience in new and audacious ways. Meanwhile, powerful social and economic forces were transforming the nature of play in American society. Cross offers a richly textured account of a culture in which erector sets and baby dolls are no longer alone in preparing children for the future, and in which the toys that now crowd the racks are as perplexing for parents as they are beguiling for little boys and girls. Whether we want our children to be high achievers in a competitive world or playful and free from the worries of adult life, the toy store confronts us with many choices.
What does the endless array of action figures and fashion dolls mean? Are children--or parents--the dupes of the film, television, and toy industries, with their latest fads and fantasies? What does this say about our time, and what does it bode for our future? Tapping a vein of rich cultural history, Kids' Stuff exposes the serious business behind a century of playthings.
About Gary CrossSee more books from this Author
In a fine closing chapter, Cross quietly asserts our parental responsibility to ""raise independent children in, rather than against, a culture of consumption.""

In the three weeks since he won a Republican primary, the Senate Republican Campaign Committee has spent $5,200 to help Assemblyman Greg Ball get elected, the most recent filing shows.
Ball is running a tight race against Westchester County Legislator Mike Kaplowitz. The SRCC had until now been supporting his primary challenger, Somers Supervisor Mary Beth Murphy. The committee spent $91,667 supporting her campaign.
Sen. Tom Libous, the Binghamton Republican who leads the GOP's campaign efforts in the chamber, said in June that Ball is "too erratic" to support. Scott Reif, an SRCC spokesman, told me in July "the residents of Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester counties are tired of the distractions, tired of the conspiracy theories and tired of all of the excuses. You can't take anything Greg Ball says seriously."
On Monday, Reif said: "He's the nominee of the Republican Party."
Overall, the Republicans slipped a bit in fundraising. They have $2.1 million on hand, and raised $163,000. Democrats have $3.1 million on hand and raised $455,955.

The Lesser Terror: Soviet State Security, 1939-1953
This is the first major study based on Soviet documents and revelations of the Soviet state security during the period 1939-1953 a period about which relatively little is known. The book documents the role of Stalin and the major players in massive crimes carried out during this period against the Soviet people. It also provides the first detailed biography of V. S. Abakumov, Minister of State Security, 1946-1951.
Based on Glasnost revelations and recently released archival material, this study covers the operations of Soviet state security from Beriia's appointment in 1938 until Stalin's death. The book pays particular attention to the career of V. S. Abakumov, head of SMERSH counterintelligence during the war and minister in charge of the MGB (the predecessor of the KGB) from 1946 until his removal and arrest in July 1951.
The author argues that terror remained the central feature of Stalin's rule even after the Great Terror and he provides examples of how he micromanaged the repressions. The book catalogs the major crimes committed by the security organs and the leading perpetrators and provides evidence that the crimes were similar to those for which the Nazi leaders were punished after the war. Subjects covered include Katyn and its aftermath, the arrest and execution of senior military officers, the killing of political prisoners near Orel in September 1941, and the deportations of various nationalities during the war. The post-war period saw the Aviator and Leningrad affairs as well as the anti-cosmopolitan campaign whose target was mainly Jewish intellectuals. Later chapters cover Abakumov's downfall, the hatching of the Mingrelian and Doctors plots and the events that followed Stalin's death. Finally, there are chapters on the fate of those who ran Stalin's machinery of terror in the last 13 years of his rule. These and other topics will be of concern to all students and scholars of Soviet history and those interested in secret police and intelligence operations.

Anti-bark collars are popular in many countries, pet owners consider these as a great tool to train dogs and minimize excessive barking. For those who do not have an idea of what an Anti-barking collar is, here is a short description and list of different types of the well-known product.
Anti- bark collars are used to stop or at least lessen the unwanted noise caused by excessive barking of canines. Dogs may exhibit this kind of behavior due to many reasons that is why it is recommended to consult a veterinarian first before trial.
Four kinds of Anti-barking Collars
Electronic Bark Collars
Sometimes called the Static Bark Collar. Dogs feel the static every time they bark. Some brands made adjustable intensity to minimize or increase the shock that you want your pet to receive when barking is uncontrollable.
Citronella Spray Bark Collars
This is the mildest and commonly used type. Although, spray collars are not so practical since you have to replace it when already empty. There is a sensor in the collar which detects the barking sound and makes the citronella scent sprayed automatically. This one is proven to be safe for both pets and humans.
Vibrating Bark Collars
If you do not want to use the electronic type this could be a great alternative. This is totally harmless but still effective to stop the compulsive barking. The vibration may make the dog feel uncomfortable and the urge to bark continuously may be stopped.
Ultrasonic Collars
This kind of collar emits a high-pitch sound when the sensor detects the barking. The sound produced by the collar is cannot be heard by human ears. The sound works because the dogs are interrupted when they start to create noise. It also vibrates when dogs bark in order to make the collar more sensitive and responsive.
