most common inline skate questions:
What are the major types of inline skates? ▼
There are a few major types of inline skates and inline skating disciplines that one can take part in. The most popular types of inline skating disciplines are fitness, recreation, aggressive, race or roller hockey.Recreation and fitness inline skating are done for fun or for exercise and will use the standard style recreational inline skates. Aggressive skating is done mostly at skate parks but can also be done on street obstacles. Aggressive skaters use special aggressive inline skates that offer more protection and support than standard inline skates. Race inline skaters or marathon inline skaters use stiff booted race inspired skates that often have larger wheels with high performance bearings so the skaters get the most out of each stride. Roller hockey inline skaters use special hockey inline skates that offer a supportive boot similar to an ice hockey skate but will offer a shorter frame that will allow for easy handling and control.
What size inline skates do I need? ▼
Sizing inline skates is very similar to sizing athletic shoes as you will want a nice and tight fit that will give the user a great mixture of comfort and performance. We offer a full range of size charts and guides to help you find your exact fit in an inline skate. You should note that inline skates take a few skates in them to fully break in and in some inline skate models you can expect a ½ size of break in once the skate fully loosens up and molds to your exact foot shape.
Is inline skating good exercise? ▼
Inline skating is a great exercise and has recently been named as one of the 7 best fat blasters. Inline skating burns a whopping 425 calories for every 30 minutes of skating and the most enjoyable thing is actually having fun while burning those calories. Many with knee and joint problems find inline skating to be a much easier and safer exercise than jogging or running as inline skating puts less pressure and pain on the knees and joints.
Should I wear pads and a helmet when inline skating? ▼
YES! There is no reason to not wear a complete set of pads and a helmet while inline skating. A full set of inline skate pads includes wrist, elbow and knee pads. These pads are important and are not overly expensive. Over the years skate pads have become much more comfortable and now offer sweat wicking properties to keep you dry while skating. Inline skate helmets are required at a lot of parks and places to skate and should be worn at all times when inline skating. Inline skate helmets have also become more comfortable, lighter weight and will offer sweat wicking properties as well so pick one up today!
Where can I learn more about inline skating? ▼
Here of course! Here at Inlineskates.com we not only stock a full selection of inline skates but we also supply skaters with the ability to get an education on inline skating. Offering a full selection of buying guides, sizing guides, blogs, articles and videos all about inline skating you can truly learn it all here. All of our guides, blogs, articles and videos are housed in the Skate-O-Pedia. If you have any additional inline skating questions please let us know and we will be happy to help you.

Putin's Lehman Moment
Robert Kahn argues that the West should be ready to impose more robust economic sanctions against Russia, in order to deter it from further infiltrating or destabilizing Ukraine. Russia's economic complexity means sanctions would meaningfully reduce Russian wealth and growth, since Russian oligarchs and business leaders have significant financial stakes in the West.

Well, it kind of sucks, actually. Way too open playing fields. Too few cool weapons. But for some weird reason, my roommate and I really go insane when we play it. It gets very nasty. A ton of cursing and f-you's. The sickness began waaaay back from GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. I just love putting a guided rocket right between his eyes....and visa versa.
Anyway, is it possible to connect our Playstations and play head to head on two different T.V.s.? Has anyone ever tried that with Nightfire or another game? I bet it rocks.

Wednesday, April 9, 2008, 7 p.m. · 101 McCormick Hall
Posted April 4, 2008; 10:28 a.m.
Award-winning novelist Junot Díaz will speak about his work at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 9, in 101 McCormick Hall.
The title of the discussion, "Dominican Tolkiens: Diasporic Nerdiness and the Quest for the Divine," refers to Díaz's latest novel, "The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao," the story of an aspiring science fiction writer who hopes to become the Dominican version of J.R.R. Tolkien. Diaz won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in fiction for the book.
The event will feature Díaz in discussion with Albert Raboteau, Princeton's Henry W. Putnam Professor of Religion, and Emily Raboteau, an assistant professor of English at the City College of New York.
Díaz, whose works also include his critically acclaimed debut novel "Drown," has won several awards and was named one of the top 20 writers for the 21st century by The New Yorker magazine. He is an associate professor of writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The event is sponsored by the Center for African American Studies; the Council of the Humanities; the departments of comparative literature, English, and Spanish and Portuguese languages and cultures; the Office of the President; and the programs in American studies, creative writing and Latin American studies.

Let me begin with a confession: I used to play Magic: The Gathering every day. Alongside rugby league, drums, and the Super NES, this collectable wizard-duel card game was my thing. I had a deck full of rare cards, and the guts to fight with anyone who'd dare to throw down the gauntlet.
I even belonged to a small clan, informally dubbed the "Power Triumvirate". It should have been called "Two Men and a Baby" though, because I sucked at Magic. I really, really sucked, and I had no reason to think I'd fare any better when I installed Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 on the family iPad and Xbox 360.
As it turns out, I'm not too bad at Magic nowadays. The AI is a very good teacher and understanding the game is a simple process. If you choose to leave the hints on, the game will prompt you through each phase of play as you - a Planeswalker, fighting other Planeswalkers - use your resources, creatures, artifacts and spells to destroy your enemy's cards and reduce their life to zero.
How you actually get the job done depends on the hand you're dealt, quite literally. There is a degree of luck involved, but the skill in understanding your cards and when to play them is something the campaign mode AI will teach you as you play against foes with decks of various capabilities, each designed to test you on different aspects of strategic play.
Magic 2013 ignores some of the key features of offline play, such as advanced deck building and the ability to trade your cards with others, but it may also be a good way for first-time players (or those whose cards have been sitting in a box in the closet) to develop some tactics before getting involved in the game for real.
Magic has always been very well regarded for its high standard of fantasy art, which richly illustrates the cards' surfaces, and comes to life in the animated cutscenes. The game board is neatly laid out, and it is easy to keep tabs on what's happening at all times.
Outside of the active game, the user interface is mostly friendly, but the menus could be a little easier to understand. The iOS version, I'm told, bears great similarity to the PC version but I found it's not very different to what I played on my Xbox. So not only do iPad players not lose out on the functionality of Magic 2013, but they may find it the perfect mobile game for the platform, for only a few bucks.
I started playing it on my daily commutes to and from work, with the average duel time of 20-25 minutes being perfect each way. Then I'd get home and play it on the couch. Then again just before bed. Then first thing in the morning - wouldn't you know, it's like 1995 and I'm addicted to Magic all over again.
Only this time, I know what winning feels like.

Farmer, Colbert chosen to address seniors
Posted December 11, 2007; 04:10 p.m.
Medical anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer will deliver the address at this year's Baccalaureate, and Emmy Award-winning actor and writer Stephen Colbert will speak at the annual Class Day ceremony, leaders of the senior class have announced.
Farmer is a founding director of Partners In Health, an international charity organization that provides direct health care services and undertakes research and advocacy activities on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty. He will speak at the interfaith worship service, which is one of Princeton's oldest traditions, on Sunday, June 1.
Colbert, the host and executive producer of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," will deliver the keynote address at the Class Day ceremony on Monday, June 2.
President Shirley M. Tilghman selects the Baccalaureate speaker after consultation with senior class leaders. In an e-mail to the class of 2008, class officers said they recommended Farmer because he is a "man of great moral force and inspiration."
"Dr. Farmer's fight for the poorest and most vulnerable people of the world is a perfect theme as we graduate and hopefully move on to similarly self-giving careers," said Tom Haine, president of the class of 2008.
Farmer was awarded an honorary degree from Princeton in 2006 for devoting "his significant talents to saving lives" from rural Haiti to war-torn Rwanda to inner-city Boston. He is the Maude and Lillian Presley Professor of Medical Anthropology in the Department of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School. His work draws primarily on active clinical practice and focuses on diseases that disproportionately afflict the poor. He is an attending physician in infectious diseases and associate chief of the Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston, and he served for 10 years as medical director of a charity hospital, L'Hôpital Bon Sauveur, in rural Haiti.
Along with his colleagues at BWH, in the Program in Infectious Disease and Social Change at Harvard Medical School, and in Haiti, Peru, Russia, Rwanda, Lesotho and Malawi, Farmer has pioneered novel, community-based treatment strategies for AIDS and tuberculosis (including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis). Farmer and his colleagues have successfully challenged the policymakers and critics who claim that quality health care is impossible to deliver in resource-poor settings. He also has written extensively about health and human rights, and about the role of social inequalities in determining the distribution and outcomes of infectious diseases.
Leaders of the senior class selected Colbert from among numerous nominees suggested by classmates for the Class Day speaker.
"For his success as an actor, author and public speaker, we are honored that Mr. Colbert will be joining the senior class to help us celebrate the end of our college careers," Haine wrote in an e-mail to the class earlier this year.
Colbert joined the cast of Comedy Central's parody-news series "The Daily Show" in 1997 as a writer and correspondent, and went on to help the show earn a number of Emmy and Peabody awards. Since 2005, he has hosted "The Colbert Report," in which he parodies the conventions of television news broadcasting playing a blustery right-wing pundit.
Colbert is the recipient of various other honors for his work, including being named the 2007 "Person of the Year" by the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival and among Time's 100 most influential people in 2006. His book, "I Am America (and So Can You!)," was published this past fall.
Class Day, which takes place the day before Princeton's Commencement, also will include student remarks, the induction of honorary class members and other special recognitions. The ceremony is scheduled to be held on Cannon Green, weather permitting, at 10:30 a.m. It is a ticketed event for seniors and their invited guests only.
Baccalaureate is an end-of-the-year ceremony also focused on members of the senior class. Beginning at 2 p.m. in the University Chapel, it includes prayers and readings from various religious and philosophical traditions. The earliest recorded Baccalaureate address -- titled "Religion and the Public Spirit" -- was delivered by President Samuel Davies in 1760 to the 11 members of the graduating class. Since 1972, the address has been given by a speaker chosen by the president after discussion with class leaders.
Seating in the chapel is limited to members of the senior class and faculty procession. Seniors receive two tickets for family and guests who may view the ceremony via simulcast, including on a large screen to be set up outside the chapel.

- About Plattsburgh
The ground has been broken on SUNY Plattsburgh's new state-of-the-art science lab and State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher was there to help break it.
The chancellor was joined by other dignitaries including New York State Senator Betty Little, State Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward and Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak in celebrating the launch of the new Hudson Hall laboratory addition.
Built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver standards, the addition will be the first building constructed on the campus since Feinberg Library was built in the 1970s.
Zimpher said that the addition will "open the door to curiosity" and "anchor SUNY Plattsburgh in the work it does best, which is the education of young people."
In an interview about the new addition, Dr. Tim Mihuc, director of the Lake Champlain Research Institute, also referenced how the building will help students. also referenced how the building will help students. "Students will be educated in a facility that will be comparable to what they will find in a career in the sciences," he said.
He noted that some of the funds will also help replace outdated bench equipment and other tools that students use in the classroom and labs.
Following LEED design and building guidelines will have other ramifications for teaching as the building itself will be used as a teaching tool, with displays which educate occupants about green practices.
"I am truly excited about the new possibilities that will be opened to the faculty and students. I am grateful to the state, and ultimately the people of the state, for their generous support of this effort and our students," said Dr. Ed Miller, chair of the chemistry department.

QOTDE: "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called 'research'." (A. Einstein, esq.)
Research programming, and the Doom of Command-Line Executables
Scientific analysis programs are often badly written, and usually available only as command-line executables.
The first question is, why? There are a few different reasons:
- Scientific programmers are usually grad students and postdocs.
These people are entirely untrained (and uninterested) in programming or
software engineering.
- Those who are trained in software engineering are usually
computer scientists of some stripe, so 90% of them are completely
useless in front of a computer anyway. (See #1 for the resulting
- Most scientific projects are ad hoc piles of crap from the first
line of code laid down to the last semicolon written.
- There is lots of turnover in science: students and postdocs
move on quickly.
- The standard research programming languages (Fortran and C)
do not lend themselves to re-usable code, to say the least.
I don't blame the scientists for the resulting poorly built software. After all, the goal in science is to keep moving forward with your research, and if you take the short-term view on software you'll only think about the next step required for your project. Even if you do try to plan ahead, odds are you're going to be screwed by the Real World, which doesn't care what you think your results should be, and often has its own ideas. Then there's the desire to move on, which doesn't lend itself to good software practcices. And, in any case, it's not like anyone teaches software development properly, so scientists have to learn how to do it on their own. Plus, if your advisor/mentor/supervisor tells you that Fortran is the way to go... then Fortran you will use.
Short-term thinking is probably the worst culprit in all of this. Advisors have no obvious incentive to promote long software projects. But I do think this focus can be bad. I've ignored my advisor's direction to focus on the short term twice: once it resulted in Avida (still a going concern 11 years later) and once it resulted in Cartwheel. If Charles and I hadn't simply written Avida (against Chris Adami's instructions) we would have been stuck with a modification to the huge pile of crap that was Tierra at the time. My current advisor, Eric Davidson, simply didn't understand the point of Cartwheel until years later (I'm still not sure what he thinks it is, actually). I think Cartwheel is a success because it's taken over much of the sequence annotation functions in the lab -- and now we don't have to run a bunch of Perl scripts, by hand, on our Beowulf cluster, every time we want to annotate a piece o' sequence. Victory over Perl, at least!
Overall, this kind of short-term thinking results in a lot of short-ish, one-off coding projects that solve a particular research need and contain no obviously re-usable code. Typically this can be encapsulated in a simple command-line program that has relatively obvious parameters and spits out a result that is directly interpretable by one person: the person who wrote the code. At this point the project is considered fini and the coder moves on. Result: one undocumented command-line program that other people may or may not find useful and in any case will be difficult to use.
OK, so that settles why badly-written command-line programs exist in such profusion in research. The second question is, why do I hate them? That's probably fairly obvious, but just to hammer in the point, I'll submit a tirade about that some time in the future.
The final question is, what can we do about it?
I'm convinced that a large part of the answer is this: use a scripting language like Python.
Why "like Python"? How "like Python"?
- Python is simple, easy to learn, and fairly concise.
- Python is easy to read. (It also looks a lot like cleanly written C
should, which helps C programmers out.)
- Python makes code re-use relatively easy. In particular, Python is
inherently module- and object-oriented.
- Python is cross-platform.
- Python provides easy access to string processing: functionality that C
and Fortran don't really have.
- C and C++ code can easily be wrapped in Python.
- Python is interpreted & provides interactive command-line access.
- Python has automatic memory management: no malloc/free nonsense, or resulting memory corruption.
Hopefully it's obvious why these are all good features for a research programming language! Access to C and C++ code is surprisingly important, because an awful lot of useful code -- research and otherwise -- exists in C and C++ libraries. Plus, when you feel the need for speed, C and C++ are still the way to go.
However, none of the other languages that I'm most familiar with (C, C++, Java, Perl, and Tcl) satisfy all of these. C, C++, and Java are not interpreted, and Java can't easily wrap C/C++ code. Plus, C/C++ are not particularly cross-platform unless you know what you're doing. Perl and Tcl are both good scripting languages that satisfy most of the above criteria -- in particular, wrapping C code in Tcl (although not Perl) is fantastically easy, and Perl is very easy to learn for old C/UNIX hands - but neither one is object-oriented from the ground up, and neither one supports code-reuse very nicely.
Perl is a fucking nightmare when it comes to wrapping C code, too; anyone who doesn't think this is invited to try it. Sheesh. What was Larry Wall thinking?!
Ruby might be a good bet, but then I understand that it's basically Python anyway... (<dons asbestos suit hurriedly>).
So use Python. Trust me -- I know what I'm doing. ;)
Well, that's it for today; gotta go read /. I'll leave you with one final thought: the two dominant points of technological friction for bioinformatics are (a) the widespread use of Perl and Java, and (b) the omnipresence of incredibly useful but hideously unscriptable command-line programs like BLAST and 90% of the pimply little programs in EMBOSS.
(I'd hold Lincoln Stein personally responsible for (a), but the truth is that he's (i) a nice guy and (ii) BioPython isn't helping. That's a whole 'nother story. I must admit to complete bafflement re EMBOSS.)
O hey, here's a shoutout to Nathan Gray, the only other person I know who compulsively writes about stuff on the Web.

Arm doesn't have PROGMEM. In theory, the DUE ide should have defined all the PROGMEM 'keywords' as nothing and all of the <xxx>_P functions as <xxx>, but maybe they missed a few places.If you are only programming on the Due, and no longer target the AVR based microprocessors, just take out the PROGMEM stuff. If you need to run on both platforms, then you probably should do something like:Code: [Select]#if defined(__arm__) && !defined(PROGMEM)#define PROGMEM#define PSTR(STR) STR#endifYou probably need more than that, depending on your program.
Personally I'm happy that PROGMEM causes compilation errors, as this reminds me that I don't yet know how to achieve the same functionality on the Due!

Over the past few years, the sound bar market has exploded, making them nearly as ubiquitous as TVs. Its a good thing, too, because as TVs get thinner and thinner, less and less room is left for built-in speakers. Consumers don't want to see big, bulky speakers ruining their TV's otherwise waif-like figure, so manufacturers have taken to placing the speakers on the back or bottom of the TV. As you can guess, small speakers pointed at the floor or wall typically don't sound too impressive.
This is where a sound bar steps in. A sound bar allows you to upgrade your audio experience without having to sprinkle speakers around the room, confront the challenge of running wires to those speakers, or drain your wallet purchasing a stack of equipment. In the sound bar's early days, choices were as thin as the TVs of the time, but now there are many different styles, features, brands, and price points to consider.
That's where we come in. In this guide, we aim to help you navigate the sound bar market and zero in on the one that best suits your needs. But before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let's discuss what a sound bar is and what it will and won't do.
Can I get surround sound from a sound bar?
There are plenty of self-proclaimed audiophiles who turn their noses up at sound bars and dismiss them as poor quality, mass produced boom boxes. Let us assure you that those assertions are wrong. You can now get incredibly big, rich, and immersive sound out of a sound bar. The key is finding the sound bar that best fits your needs. Are you looking for bass so powerful it rattles the china set in another room? You can get that. Or maybe you are just looking for something simple to give you slightly better sound than what your TV offers on its own – that's available too. There are solutions for people on both ends of the spectrum and almost everywhere in between. Some units even work in conjunction with an AV receiver and utilize true surround speakers as part of a hybrid system.
What you will not get from a sound bar – unless you opt for one of those hybrid systems – is convincing surround sound effects. If hearing a sound object dart behind you or pan across the entire room is your chief priority, you will need to invest in a proper surround sound system.
With that said, we have heard some sound bars that trump similarly priced surround sound systems in terms of overall sound quality, exhibiting excellent bass and clarity. There are also some options on the market- particularly from Yamaha – that can simulate surround effects fairly convincingly, even if the effect is no substitute for the real thing. Here's the short of it: You can get a great sounding sound bar if you are willing to pay for it, but it will never replace a true surround system when it comes to enveloping sound.
What can I hook up?
Connectivity should be one of your primary considerations when considering a sound bar. What do you want to hook up and how do you want to hook it up? The majority of sound bars offer at least one digital optical input and one analog input. The easiest way to hook up a sound bar is to plug all of your equipment directly into your TV, then run a single optical or analog audio cable out of your TV and into your sound bar. If, however, you don't wish to use your TV to switch between your inputs, you'll need a sound bar equipped with enough inputs to handle all of your equipment, and you'll probably want some kind of display on the sound bar to indicate which input you are tuning into. You'd be amazed how many sound bars omit this feature.
For even better sound potential (and some might say convenience), some sound bars support HDMI inputs. A sound bar might benefit from an HDMI connection to a Blu-ray player. This is because Blu-ray discs have high-resolution soundtracks that can only be sent through an HDMI cable. Of course, that only matters if the sound bar is able to take advantage of those high-resolution soundtracks. Otherwise, we don't see HDMI connections on sound bars as being all that helpful, particularly since there are rarely enough of them to accommodate all of your equipment.
Additionally, consider a choosing a sound bar that has USB and/or Bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth makes it easy to listen to music wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled smartphones and tablets (almost all current smartphones and tablets have Bluetooth). A USB input can also provide an easy means for connecting an iPod or USB flash drive loaded with music.
Finally, take into consideration where the connections on the sound bar are located. Not all manufacturers place the inputs and outputs on the sound bar itself. Some will use a separate box to house all of the inputs and outputs, much like a small A/V receiver. Others put all of the ins and outs on a subwoofer. Keep in mind that each configuration changes the need for different lengths of cables and may limit where the sound bar and/or subwoofer can be placed. For example, Samsung makes a sound bar that has a "wireless" subwoofer, but since all of the inputs are on the subwoofer, so it has to be located near your TV.
To subwoofer or not to subwoofer?
For those not familiar: A subwoofer is a speaker dedicated to producing low frequencies (bass). Subwoofers are often recognized for providing the the rumble of an explosion, the powerful pounding of a bass drum, or the low pluck of a bass guitar. But in the case of sound bars, the subwoofer's responsibility is often much more critical. When sound bars are often designed to be as slim as possible, most of the low frequency spectrum is sacrificed. In these case, the subwoofer does more than go boom, it adds the much needed midbass that makes sound rich and "room filling." In short, some sound bars aren't worth using without their included subwoofers.
If you can manage to integrate a subwoofer into your room without ruffling anyone's feathers, we would unequivocally recommend getting a system that includes one. Luckily, wireless subwoofers are now commonly available as part of a sound bar purhcase, which means tucking it out of sight is just that much easier.
If you absolutely cannot fit a subwoofer in your room, there are options. A few manufacturers specifically design their sound bars to produce powerful bass without the help of a sub, but these sound bars tend to be a little larger and more expensive than their competition. Three such examples are the Motion Vision by MartinLogan, Panorama2 by Bowers & Wilkins, and the PowerBar 235 by Atlantic Technology. If you choose to purchase a sound bar without a subwoofer, at least ensure the unit has the ability to add a subwoofer later, as the three aforementioned options do.
Sound control is key
If you're picky about sound quality, you'll want to choose a sound bar that offers some kind of tone controls. Even basic treble and bass controls will allow you to tailor the sound bar's output enough that you can achieve a reasonably balanced end product. Some sound bars even come with special "modes" that enhance voice clarity which can be especially handy with programming in which voices are difficult to hear clearly.
Getting TRUE surround sound from a sound bar
Many manufacturers are now marketing their sound bars as "surround bars" in an effort to convince consumers that a sound bar can replace a proper surround sound system. Don't be fooled. These surround bars do involve technology to make sound seem "bigger", but it's all smoke and mirrors. You'll rarely, if ever, experience the effect of sound moving all around you.Still, there are some solutions for consumers who want the best of both worlds: the sleek look of a sound bar and the sound of a true surround system.
Some sound bars, like Definitive Technology's XTR-SSA3, combine the three front speakers normally found in a 5.1 system into a single, passive sound bar. In order to power a passive sound bar, you simply connect three sets of speaker wire from the receiver to the bar. Using this method, you can power a set of surround speakers using your receiver's surround outputs. If you aren't able to run wire to surround speakersconsider a universal wireless speaker kit, or something like Polk Audio's F/X wireless speaker.
How many remotes will I need to control everything?
We would love to be able to assure you that your cable/satellite remote will control your sound bar (in most cases, it will), or that as long as you buy the same brand sound bar and TV you can use one remote. Unfortunately, if we told you that we would be lying. The only way to guarantee you can control your sound bar with one of your current remotes is to purchase a sound bar with "remote learning" capabilities. This allows the sound bar to learn commands from a remote you already own. If you purchase a unit without this capability, chances are you will either have to use the remote that comes with the sound bar or purchase a learning universal remote. Also, beware that many sound bars don't even come with a remote.
How much should I expect to pay?
The age-old adage that get what you pay for certainly applies to sound bars. You might be able to dig up a sound bar for $100 or less, but expect dismal performance. In our opinion, most sound bars under $150 are not worth your money. Will they give you better sound quality than the TV speakers? Possibly, but probably not by much. Rather, we think you are better off spending a little more. In the $150-$250 range you can get a decent sound bar, but it likely won't have a subwoofer. Expect these units to go louder and sound better than your TV speakers, but to lack bass and connectivity options. Between $250-$400 is the real heart of the market. You can get all of the connectivity options available, a wireless subwoofer, and pretty good sound. For most folks, this price range will be a nice fit. Individuals looking for a competitive option to a conventional surround sound system should plan on spend $400+ or more. These sound bars tend to be designed by companies which specialize in speakers, which means you can expect better engineering and higher quality parts. At this level you can also step into some sound bars with the capability to produce great bass without a subwoofer, such as the MartinLogan and Atlantic Technology options mentioned earlier. You can also start to look at passive options that utilize a separate AV receiver for power, provided you don't mind adding more equipment to your system.
We hope to have taken some of the guesswork out of selecting a sound bar for your home entertainment system. Now that you have a feel for the various levels of sound bar options that are available, take a look at some of our favorites from each of the four common price/performance tiers. Once you've narrowed down your choices, be sure to go out and take a listen to the candidates on your short list before making a final decision. At the end of the day, what sounds best to you is what matters most.
$150-$250 (entry level)
- Boston Acoustics TVee 10 ($199)
- ZVOX Z-Base 320 ($249)
- Yamaha YAS-101 ($249)
$250-$400 (mid-range, most common)
- Samsung HW-E450ZA ($299)
- Energy Power Bar ($399)
$400-$800 (above average)
- Harman Kardon SB 16 ($599)
- Definitive Technology XTR-SSA3 ($799, Passive)
- Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 ($799)
$800+ (high-end, comparable to component audio systems)
- Atlantic Technology PB 235 ($899)
- MartinLogan Vision ($1499)
- Yamaha YSP-5100 ($2,199)

Speaking the Truth
Gary is an author, trial lawyer, Mequon-area resident and town of Cedarburg supervisor. He is a columnist for the News Graphic and writes for several Wisconsin area magazines and is a national columnist with The American Thinker and PJ Media. He lives with his wife, Lisa, and has three sons ages 18 to 28. Gary won Ozaukee County in his bid for the Wisconsin Assembly's 60th District in 2011, but came up just 58 votes short.
The public employee temper tantrum masquerading as a recall election is history. Thanks to the greed and over-reaching of the public employee unions, Wisconsin is now not only the birthplace of the Republican Party, but the place of the rebirth of the Republican Party. States like Ohio, California, Michigan, and New Jersey - drowning in debt, deficit, and unfunded public pensions - have gathered the courage to do something about the stranglehold of public employee unions, thanks to the courage shown in Wisconsin. The obnoxious blue fist of the belligerant labor unions can be tossed in the attic as tens of thousands of faithful union members defect from their neutered unions. We have much to be thankful for.
Let's forget for a moment the more than 33,000 jobs created under Governor Scott Walker, as was just reported on May 16, 2012 by the Department of Workforce Development.
Let's ignore the fact that Walker's policies have allowed the unemployment rate in this state to plummet to its lowest mark since 2008.
Let's temporarily look beyond the fact that with the one-sided black hole of collective bargaining for public school teachers in mothballs, school boards and communities have taken back control of their school districts and the out-of-control spending legacies left behind by self-centered public employee unions and are now able to make decisions which are best for students and taxpayers, rather than unions.
Let's not talk about the fact that thousands of teaching positions have been saved throughout Wisconsin, while public employees are getting axed by the union busload in Michigan and Illinois.
Let's pretend for a moment that the most liberal of all Wisconsin newspapers - the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - didn't just this week fully endorse Scott Walker, saying, "We see no reason to remove Walker from office. We recommend him in the June 5 recall election."
Let's ignore that free market competition has finally been restored to Wisconsin government-sector health insurance markets and has forced WEA Trust to deal fairly with school districts because it finally has to compete with private health insurers for union business.
Let's forget that the legacy of a $3.6 billion Wisconsin deficit left behind by years of union-controlled Democrat Party rule has been magically transformed into a $275 million surplus.
Let's not even mention that Act 10 has led to smaller class sizes and allowed the best and brightest teachers to maintain their jobs over lazier, less-qualified, more senior teachers.
Let's not mention that Wisconsin school districts have realized huge savings through either the implementation of collective bargaining changes or the simple threat of it, according to the Education Action Group Foundation.
Let's look beyond the fact that all of the aforementioned benefits were made possible by simply limiting collective bargaining to wages and requiring teachers and other public employees to contribute a paltry 5.8% to their state pensions and at least 12.6% of their health care premiums - a sweetheart deal 99% of private sector employees would give their right arm for.
Instead, let's focus on the simple, glorious fact that Wisconsin's Act 10 has paid significant dividends to Wisconsin taxpayers, according to a new analysis by the Beacon Hill Institute for Public Policy Research, at Suffolk University in Boston.
Act 10, which implemented sane limits to collective bargaining for most unionized public employees, has saved Wisconsin taxpayers more than $1 billion, according to The Economic Impacts of the Wisconsin Budget Repair Act. The study is set to be released this week (May 23, 2012) by Beacon Hill Institute, a prominent free market think tank.
Let's celebrate the public repudiation of the ill-advised recall efforts and Wisconsin's independence from the union stranglehold which had almost caused our state to tap out over the last three decades. We have taken back our state and given courage to states around the country to follow our lead, requiring the AFL-CIO to warm up its buses and organize protests in all 50 states.
Wisconsin spoke on June 5 and supported the man who has made all of the above possible. Governor Scott Walker. What a difference one brave man can make!

Check your local Bart Smit stores, i found 3 different figs for 10.99 Euro each at the one in de Kalverstraat in Amsterdam. They had Jango Fett Kamino Escape, Obi-Wan Coruscant Chase and Anakin Skywalker Outland Peasant Disguise. I picked up Jango and Obi-Wan. They also had the Jedi Starfighter, but it was 44.99!!! Ridiculous prices!!!
Still, i am a happy man!
Till i opened them and realized they are crap! No kidding. The figs are made of very rubbery plastic and are hard to stand up. They also have poopoo articulation and Obi's accessories are very poor for the money it cost me. His lightsaber seems rather small and, although it is nicely detailed, the blade warps very quickly. The Assassin droid doesn't even come with a stand! Cheap Hasbro!
Don't think i'll get more of them. Maybe a few, but i'm definately not buying more of these Playdoh-like figs.

I could give a rats fat rump about McCain he lost. The guy that won said he was going to close gitmo, fix the economy and bring our troops back. Then all that hope and change BS. Dont also tell me that BO is just one guy. He has his nose in everything yet only increased spending.
As for unemployment 1/2 of the folks that are out of work dont want to or unable to perform well enough to hold a job. The St Louis paper runs ads every day for help wanted. I will worry when that page is blank. We now have a decent pool of workers to pick from that have the experiance, skill and talent to do what we ask. We pay union wage or better. I will be hiring 2 or more journeymen when I get back from the beautiful Rocky mountain national forest. Sitting in a lawn chair looking at the last of the snow still left in the mountains regards.

What is Interlibrary Loan (ILL) and how does it work?
Interlibrary Loan is a network of various libraries and institutions in North America that agree to loan items to one another. If the San Francisco Public Library System does not have a book or periodical that you are seeking, we will ask others on the network to send a copy to us so that we may in turn loan it to you.
How is an ILL different from a request/hold?
A request is placed on an item owned by the San Francisco Public Library. An ILL is a request placed to other libraries for items not owned by SFPL.
What do I need to apply for an ILL request?
You must have a valid San Francisco Public Library card, and you must fill out the online ILL application form for the material type you are requesting. Note: The Library will not initiate ILL requests if there are any irregularities on your library account. If you have questions regarding your account, please contact any branch of the San Francisco Public Library.
Why do I need a Library card and a PIN before you can process my ILL request?
You need a Library card because ILL is available only to our cardholders, and a PIN is necessary for your online security. You may apply for a library card if you do not have one. If you do not have a PIN, you can assign one to yourself through the Log In to Your Record link on the Library's home page. Please contact any SFPL library for more information on library cards and PINs.
How many ILL requests can I make?
You may have as many as 10 (ten) ILL items to your library account.
Do you charge for an ILL request?
San Francisco Public Library does not charge for ILL requests. However, some lenders may charge a fee which we would pass on to you. You will always be notified of any fees before we request an item that requires fees to be paid by you.
What can I NOT get through ILL?
Items that are owned by the San Francisco Public Library, such as books, music scores, government documents, microfilm, periodicals (such as magazines, journals, newspapers, and newsletters) and electronic resources (such as eBooks, databases, and related items that cannot be physically delivered). This includes Library Use Only (Reference) items, books published in the current calendar year, and audio/visual items (i.e. audio books, compact discs, DVDs, and videotapes). Software and other documents published on computer discs.
What is the ILL renewal policy?
Materials may be renewed once for an additional two weeks with the consent of the lending library and must be requested on or before the due date. Only Interlibrary Loan staff can assist with renewal requests. Contact the Interlibrary Loan office at (415) 557-4406 to request a renewal. Items that are non renewable will be noted on the information band. Overdue items are not eligible for renewal and must be returned promptly. If you lose an interlibrary loan item, depending on the lending library's policy, you may be fined as much as $250.
How do I contact an ILL staff member?
The Interlibrary Loan department is located on the First Floor of the Main Library. You may call the department during open hours at (415) 557-4406. There is no ILL staff on Sunday.
Written correspondence to the ILL Department may be sent to:
Interlibrary Loan

text: I have been going through force with my pup using TRT. He has done rather well I assume since he is only the second dog that I have force fetched. I have him on a table right now and will be moving to the ground in a few days. My question is that yesterday he went to pick up the roller off the table and as I should released the ear pinch when his mouth was on the roller. Instead of picking it up off the table he just kept his mouth on the roller. I pulled him up to the sit position and tried it again with a lil more pressure in which he promptly picked it up? I am wary that he will try again when we go to the ground. Is there another approach or do as I did last time and increase the pressure?

March 4, 2013 | President Barack Obama has appointed Edith Ramirez to serve as the newest Chair of the nearly 100-year old Federal Trade Commission. The FTC protects consumers against harmful business practices and the market from anti-competitive business practices; the Commission shares responsibility for enforcement of antitrust laws with the Justice Department.
Ramirez, 44, was nominated by the President on Thursday, February 28. She succeeds Jon Leibowitz, who stepped down as Chairman on February 15th after serving nine years on the Commission.
Since April 2010, Ramirez served as one of five FTC Commissioners. As a seated Commissioner, she received Senate approval for a term extending through 2015; this meant no further action was needed by Congress before she steps into her role as Chair.
The Senate will, however, need to approve another appointee to fill an open vacancy on the five-seat commission. The Commissioners are now evenly split between both parties.
Ramirez is a former appellate and antitrust lawyer from California whose client portfolio included Mattel, Walt Disney Co. and Northrop Grumman. She worked alongside the President at the Harvard Law Review and later as a member of his election campaign team in California.
In the past, the new Chairwoman has spoken strongly in favor of self-regulation and voluntary codes of conduct among companies involved in international trade.
In a recent New York Times article, Ramirez described self-regulation as "an important tool for consumer protection that potentially can respond more quickly and efficiently than government regulation." … To be effective, however, self-regulatory bodies must "impose meaningful standards subject to strict enforcement," she said. "Our support for self-regulation is not at any price."
TIA will reach out to set up an early meeting with the newly appointed Chairwoman. We will continue to emphasize the industry's support for advertising self-regulation, stressing the effectiveness of the current system, and the need for detailed implementation guidance regarding the new Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Rule.

Hearing on Calif case to be July 13th:http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=102569

Canvasback Chesapeakes
Just to add to the 'discussion'...some more drivel to continue the questionable handling of the situation. Why does it remain a question? Either there is something to it, OR the messiah likes the publicity and grey areas he can't squelch.
Not verified but even if totally true he will remain to be embraced by the uninformed, unemployed, and whatever uns were involved in his election. Therefore, he will remain in office regardless of the Constitutional requirement that he be a U.S. citizen.
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has Released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College.
Released today, the transcript indicates that under the name Barry Soetoro, Obama received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizen ship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking.
Along with the evidence that he was born in Kenya and no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Britain's Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, "Obama Eligibility Questioned," leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio's case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Interesting. You do realize that that "AP story" was an April Fool's joke, right? Guess not. Too bad. Check this out at: http://amfoi.wordpress.com/. One little google search an look what you find.It looks like most folks here would answer option B. Glad to see you are adjusting so well to the election of President Obama.Americans for Freedom of Information: We Do Not Exist

Can You Find ? Chump of the Day: Glock Talk
Filed under: chumps, documents, shenanigans tracking2008 @ 12:55 pm
Tags: afoi, associated press, barack obama, barry soetoro, hoax, lie, occidental, occidental college
Can you find any website (other than this fictitious one) for Americans for Freedom of Information?
Can you find any actual Occidental College application for Barack Obama or Barry Soetoro?
When you go to Google News or Newsbank or Lexis-Nexis or any other newspaper database, can you find any direct record of an actual Associated Press article regarding Barack Obama applying as Barry Soetoro to Occidential College as a foreign student?
Using the same method, can you find any record of any article in Britains Daily Mail with the headline Obama Eligibility Questioned?
The answer is no: no, you cannot.
Given that you cannot find these things because they do not exist what do you conclude?
Option A) That the story regarding Barack Obama registering as Indonesian Barry Soetoro at Occidental College is a hoax and a lie.
Option B) That the effort to suppress the truth about Barack Obamas foreign origins is even more sweeping and nefarious than previously imagined, including the power to erase transcripts, records, organizations and multiple news stories entirely.
If you visit the message boards for Glock Talk, the answer appears to be Option B. And that makes Glock Talk our Chump of the Day!"
Bob, nice article. I particularly like that laundry list of "cases" on this issue. How come McCain or the Republican party are not in on any of these lawsuits? Afraid of the media I suppose.
Did you note what happened to almost all of the cases? From their list (bold added)Damn liberal activist judges- Pennsylvania Democrat Philip Berg has three cases pending, including Berg vs. Obama in the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a separate Berg vs. Obama case alleging he wasn't qualified even to be U.S. senator and Hollister vs. Soetoro a/k/a Obama, (now dismissed) brought on behalf of a retired military member who could be facing recall to active duty by Obama.
- Leo Donofrio of New Jersey filed a lawsuit claiming Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court but denied a full hearing.
- Cort Wrotnowski filed suit against Connecticut's secretary of state, making a similar argument to Donofrio. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court, but was denied a full hearing.
- Chicago lawyer Andy Martin sought legal action requiring Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle to release Obama's vital statistics record. The case was dismissed by Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Bert Ayabe.
- Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan sought a temporary restraining order to stop the Electoral College vote in North Carolina until Barack Obama's eligibility could be confirmed, alleging doubt about Obama's citizenship. His case was denied.
- In Ohio, David M. Neal sued to force the secretary of state to request documents from the Federal Elections Commission, the Democratic National Committee, the Ohio Democratic Party and Obama to show the presidential candidate was born in Hawaii. The case was denied.
- Also in Ohio, there was the Greenberg v. Brunner case which ended when the judge threatened to assess all case costs against the plaintiff.
- In Washington state, Steven Marquis sued the secretary of state seeking a determination on Obama's citizenship. The case was denied.
- In Georgia, Rev. Tom Terry asked the state Supreme Court to authenticate Obama's birth certificate. His request for an injunction against Georgia's secretary of state was denied by Georgia Superior Court Judge Jerry W. Baxter.
- In Texas, Darrel Hunter vs. Obama later was dismissed.
- In Ohio, Gordon Stamper vs. U.S. later was dismissed.
- In Hawaii, Keyes vs. Lingle, dismissed.
In a print copy of the 1961 Honolulu Advertiser, there's a notice that Barack Obama was born. In and of itself, this is a game, set, match conversation-ender on this subject unless people want to argue that this isn't genuine or that there was a conspiracy going all the way back to the day of Obama's birth to make him President.
And from an interesting source no less.

Note: If you don't have consent to share student photos, the photos could be representative of their passion instead, or…you could make the board secret.
2. Celebrate science fair projects
Share photos of science fair projects with a description of the project. Even if parents can't be there they can still see what was on display.
3. Share books
Share photos of suggested books to read with a description of what the book is about and who might enjoy it. Families and their children can comment on the books they've read and share if they liked them.
4. Sports teams
Share a photo from each event and include information such as final score, MVP, etc. It's a great way to document a season and provides a way for the school community to show their support. Another possibility is to create a board with players photos and share.
5. Neighborhood guide
Make a guide of your school neighborhood by taking pictures of various places and describing them. Others can share their comments and insights.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. Have more? Have examples? Please share in the comments.

This weekend I made some Bo Ssam, riffing on the recipe in David Chang's Momofuku cookbook. While I've made many of the recipes in the Momofuku book over the past year or so, Eat It Atlanta turned me on to the Bo Ssam dish when we made it as part of our Rock Out with Your Stock Out party back in November. Ssam is a Korean dish; the word ssam translates literally to "wrapped."
Bo Ssam is traditionally a dish of slow-roasted pork wrapped in green, leafy lettuce and topped with various condiments. Chang's recipe includes topping it with his ginger-scallion dressing, spicy bean paste and kimchi. You can kewpie mayonnaise as well, though, I did not this time around.
I rubbed my butt(!) per Chang with brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and smoked paprika (the smoked paprika is my twist) and put it in the fridge overnight. I then cooked the butt on my Big Green Egg for 8 hours at around 235 degrees.
Pork Butt at 8AM
This is stuff is really addictive. You get the smoky-fatty pork with its crisp exterior and the bright ginger-scallion dressing and the kimchi adds a nice refreshing crunch. It's great for sharing around a table with folks who don't mind getting their hands dirty tearing into some tasty pork.

Since 11:47 on Wednesday morning, the beginning of a Senate filibuster to delay a vote on John Brennan's nomination to head the CIA, "Rand Paul," "drones," and "John Brennan" have intermittently been trending on Twitter. This attention-grabbing focus on targeted killings -- which will last only until Paul runs out of steam -- is representative of the sporadic attention that the controversial tactic has received from policymakers and the public.
With each supposed revelation -- the "kill list," "signature strikes," "disposition matrix," and the leaking of a Department of Justice white paper providing the legal justification for killing American citizens -- there is a frenzy of interest in drone strikes. Analysts (myself included) are repeatedly asked, "Where is this all heading in five or ten years?" In other words: What additional lethal missions will U.S. armed drones execute, and where will they occur? What other states will seek to develop this military capability?
But, in general, there is relative indifference to the history of America's Third War -- the 10-year campaign of over 400 targeted killings in non-battlefield settings that have killed an estimated 3,500 to 4,700 people. And that is puzzling, particularly since they have become a defining feature of post-9/11 U.S. foreign policy.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Eric & Juro, Thanks
No need to ponder - it is the most important organization to represent the precious resource of wild steelhead ever formed. Thanks for holding the torch and leading the way.
Wild steelhead forever!
Very nice piece, Rich.
Yes, I hope we can continue to help you in every way we can. WSC's influence on wild steelhead management policy, watershed management policy, forest management policy is vital. An organization with credibility can really accomplish a lot.
Thanks for all you and the Coalition have done.
-- Eric
Presidents Run
When I reviewed our WSC membership list recently, I was not only truly amazed by the geographic diversity of our membership, but also our memberships diversity of experience and passion for steelhead. I feel honored and privileged to lead an organization with such depth and skill. As President, I often run into many who have heard about our organization and want to know more about us or want to share a piece of information or an opinion about a specific steelhead issue. Sometimes it is a positive experience and sometimes it turns into a challenging discussion, but I always chock it up to a positive experience and an opportunity to learn another perspective.
On a recent steelhead adventure, I had just completed fishing for the day and was tugging at my wading boots and enjoying the last moments of a good day as a vehicle pulled up behind me. A fellow fisher jumped out of his rig and we exchanged the typical inquires about our luck or lack thereof for the day, and river conditions. He spied the WSC sticker on my camper and asked me about the organization and what we were about. After providing him a snapshot, he began providing some pointed opinions--by the way, I dont believe I have ever met a fisher without an opinion, especially about what an organization should be doing-- You know , oh, oh here it comes, I thought. You guys seem to do a lot of work, but what are your accomplishments? I quickly rattled of some examples and offered to send him some info, but he replied, No, Ill look ya up on your website. We wished each other good luck and he sped off. I finished packing my gear away, and as the last rays of sun filtered through the moss laden trees I got into my vehicle to begin my drive home.
On the way home I found myself reflecting over the fishers comments from our exchange. I formulated a couple of important items to keep in mind: we live, unfortunately, in a have it now society where expectations are often formed in which accomplishments are often synonymous with the total end result, poof! All the problems will be solved if you can just do this. In the grand scheme of steelhead conservation I have learned that accomplishments are incremental and you build on those accomplishments, no matter how small, to create positive change always with the big picture in mind. But as I reflected further, it occurred to me that many people often miss our organization's biggest accomplishment. As a humble organization we have brought a tremendous amount of visibility, awareness and exposure to the plight of wild steelhead! And that simple BIG accomplishment in it self has created an opportunity for us to achieve success in increasing the return of wild steelhead.
It has taken a tremendous amount of work but when I am on the river with its awesome surroundings, stepping into a fishy steelhead run with its relentless force, to make the confident cast and suddenly have the fish take, feel the power of that first run and admire it as another experience is captured in my memory, it is truly worth it. And when I come home to have my young son Derek ask me if I caught a fish and I can tell him a story of the river and its fish, see his eyes full of wonder, I hope the work I continue today will afford him the opportunity in the future to catch a wild steelhead and gently release it back into its home. I hope you will find the time to join me and continue our work together.

Lee Panas of Detroit Tiger Tales recently interviewed Curtis Granderson. Lee asked several thoughtful questions and Granderson responded with some pretty thoughtful answers. My favorite was an exchange about Granderson's defense last season:
TT: In the past, you have indicated that you take pride in your defense and that you have worked hard on that part of your game. Are you happy with the progress you have made in that area?
CG: This past year's defense, I actually took a step back, so I wasn't happy with my play in the 2008 season. I felt that being out with the broken finger and not be able to run while injured put me a step behind once I returned to the lineup and I never fully got back to where I wanted to be. So this 2009 season, I must get myself two steps ahead of where I want to be, and get back to playing the defense that I want to play.
It's nice to hear a player admit when there was a shortcoming in his game. After each season Granderson has had one major area where he needed to improve. After 2006 it was cutting down on strikeouts. After 2007 it was hitting lefties. This year's task is defense. His success on the other fronts and the recognition about his own performance is what makes me think 2008 will just be a blip.

The National Gallery of Ireland is a national cultural institution devoted to the collection and care of fine art dating from c1300-c1950. Comprising some 13,000 paintings, drawings, watercolours, miniatures, prints, sculpture and objets d'art, the institution's extensive holdings include masterpieces by many of the most celebrated figures in the history of western European art from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century, including the most representative collection of historic Irish art. Funded by the State, the Gallery provides free access to its public 361 days a year.
The National Gallery is cognisant of the pace of modern society that is challenging Irish museums with new audiences emerging, the outcome of an improved economy, education and an increasingly mobile public searching for new experiences. The new awareness of the importance of tourism to Ireland is causing heritage institution like the Gallery to develop services in line with twenty-first century practices and in so doing to participate fully in the social, cultural and economic life of the country. Impacting on this is extra leisure time, the growth often active younger population, the expanding 'families' sector of the market and the desire, not alone of working people, but of older people, including grandparents, to make more worthwhile use of their free time.
The Gallery is responding to this by focusing on a visitor-centred approach that views the provision and display of a world class collection together with excellence of service and operation as the goal of the institution. It has absorbed interactive IT technology as an integral part of its operation. The institution provides access to a wide range of learning opportunities that enables those with abilities and disabilities to maximize the potential of the collections and services. As Ireland is becoming an increasingly multicultural society in which the make-up of the population is more culturally diverse than ever before, the Gallery is responding by providing an extended range of visitor services that takes into account the need for multilingual floor plans, information leaflets, audio guide support and a diversity of programming that caters to the wider needs of Irish society.
As the treasure house of an irreplaceable national and international cultural resource, the National Gallery of Ireland is in a prime position to "display, conserve, manage, interpret and develop the national collection, enhance enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts and enrich the cultural, artistic and intellectual life of present and future generations".
