9. The God Alavaka Defeated by the Buddha
IN the city of Atavi there ruled a king who was very fond of hunting. One day, he saw an enormous deer and started in pursuit. The deer was fleet of foot, and in the heat of the chase, the king lost sight of the other hunters. Finally, the prey escaped, and weary and discouraged, the king sat down under a tree. He fell asleep.
It happened that a wicked God named Alavaka lived in the tree. He liked to feed on human flesh, and he killed and devoured all who came near him. He saw the king; he rejoiced, and the poor hunter was about to be dealt a severe blow when a noise fortunately awoke him. He realized that his life was threatened; he made an attempt to rise, but the God took him by the throat and held him down. Then the king tried to plead with him.
"Spare me, my lord!" said he. "By your terrifying appearance, I know you to be one of the Gods that eat human flesh. Oh, deign to be kind to me. You will have no cause to regret your mercy. I shall reward you with magnificent gifts."
"What care I for gifts!" replied Alavaka. "It is your flesh I want; it will appease my hunger."
"My lord," replied the king, "if you let me return to Atavi, I shall send you a man every day to satisfy your hunger."
"When you get back to your home, you will forget this promise."
"No," said the king, "I never forget a promise. Besides, if I should once fail to make this daily offering, you have only to come to my palace and tell me of your grievance, and, immediately, without resisting, I shall follow you, and you may devour me."
The God allowed himself to be persuaded, and the king returned to the city of Atavi. But he kept thinking of his cruel promise; there was no way he could evade it, and henceforth he would have to he a hard and ruthless master.
He sent for his minister and told him what had happened. The minister considered for a moment, then said to the king:
"My lord, in the prison of Atavi there are criminals who have been condemned to death. We can send them to the God. When he sees that you are keeping faith with him, perhaps he will relieve you of your promise."
The king approved of the suggestion. Guards were sent to the prison, and to those whose days were numbered they said:
"Not far from the city there is a tree inhabited by a God who is very fond of rice. Whoever leaves a plate of rice for him at the foot of the tree will be granted a full pardon."
Whereupon, each day, one of these men, carrying a plate of rice, joyously set out for the tree, never to return.
Presently, there were no men condemned to death left in prison. The minister ordered the judges to be extremely severe and to acquit no one accused of murder except on irrefutable proof of his innocence, but it was in vain; some new way had to be found for appeasing the hunger of the God. Then they began to sacrifice the thieves.
In spite of all their efforts to apprehend the guilty, the prison was again empty, and the king and his minister were compelled to look for victims among the worthy inhabitants of the city. Old people were carried off and forcibly led to the tree, and if the guards were not fleet-footed, the God would sometimes devour them and the victims as well.
A vague uneasiness possessed the city of Atavi. The old people were seen to disappear; no one knew what became of them. And, each day, the king's remorse grew more poignant. But he lacked the courage to sacrifice his life to the welfare of his people. He thought:
"Will no one come to my assistance? There lives in Cravasti, and sometimes in Rajagriha, I have been told, a man of great power, a Buddha, whose prodigies are loudly praised. They say he is fond of travelling. Why, then, does he not come into my kingdom?"
By his power of divination, the Buddha knew of the king's desire. He flew through the air and came to Alavaka's tree. There, he sat down.
The God saw him. He started walking toward him, but, suddenly, he became powerless. His knees trembled. Fury seized him.
"Who are you?" he asked, fiercely.
"A being far more powerful than yourself," replied the Buddha.
Alavaka was in a terrible rage. He would have liked to torture this man who was sitting on the ground in front of him, this man whom he could not reach; he would have liked to torture him to death. The Buddha never lost his composure.
Alavaka finally managed to control himself. He thought that cunning would perhaps succeed where strength had failed, and in a pleasant voice he said:
"I see you are a wise man, my Lord; it is always a pleasure for me to interrogate men of wisdom. I ask them four questions. If they can answer, they are free to go wherever they please; if they can not answer, they remain my prisoners, and I devour them when I feel so disposed."
"Ask me the four questions," said the Buddha.
"I must warn you," said Alavaka, "that no one has ever answered them. You will find scattered around the bones of those I interrogated in the past."
"Ask me the four questions," repeated the Buddha.
"Well then," said Alavaka, "how can man avoid the river of passions? How can he cross the sea of existences and find safe harbor? How can he escape the tempests of evil? How can he be left untouched by the storm of desires?"
In a quiet voice, the Buddha replied:
"Man avoids the river of passions if he believes in the Buddha, in the law and in the community; he crosses the sea of existences and finds safe harbor if he understands works of holiness; he will escape the tempests of evil if he performs works of holiness; he will be left untouched by the storm of desires if he knows the sacred path that leads to deliverance."
When Alavaka heard the Master's answers, he fell at his feet and worshipped him, and he promised to change his savage ways. Then, together, they went to Atavi, to the palace of the king.
"King," said the God, "I release you from your pledge."
The king was happier than he had ever been before. When he knew who had saved him, he cried:
"I believe in you, my Lord, who have saved me and saved my people; I believe in you, and I shall dedicate my life to proclaiming your glory, the glory of the law and the glory of the community."

HTC TyTN II ReviewHTC TyTN II
What we have here is the HTC TyTN II, or the Kaiser as it was known before the official announcement. This is the successor of the TyTN (which replaces the Wizard) bringing resemblance in the design, but moving the form-factor to the next level. After the upper part slides and the keyboard is revealed, the Display tweaks at an angle and gives a laptop-like view, which makes it more comfortable to use.
As functionality, the TyTN II is very similar to the first TyTN with all the bells and whistles of the WM6 Professional OS, but it adds GPS chip for Navigation – the only thing that the predecessor lacked. The TYTN II is the first phone to offer TouchFlo, after the original HTC Touch. This shows that the software will be offered in more than one model in the HTC family of devices.

I'm excited about this phone. I travel quite a bit and the GPS functionality will be a big plus. I might have preferred a keypad without having to slide like the samsung i760, but the better camera and the GPS are great features. VZW still seems to have a better network although AT&T is hopefully catching up to them. I'm slightly concerned about the average reception as I live in a valley with below average reception already. Hopefully it won't be an issue. I wish they would post a firm release date already... the anticipation is killing me...
2. dre (unregistered)
what carrier is gonna have this awesome looking phone, cause as soon as vzw gets the vx6800 i'm going to get it. If this phone comes out in the next few months, for vzw i'm gonna get it, and take it to H.N.L
3. (unregistered)
this is a GSM/UMTS and won't work for Verizon, so you'd have to get the XV6800
4. Gadget Man (unregistered)
I have been waiting for the right phone to come along to re-up for another 2 years with a carrier. This is the phone I have been waiting for... HSDPA, WiFI, GPS, Windows Mobile Professional - all on the AT&T network. Sign me up!

6. OneArmJack (unregistered)
Thanks for a good review. One question - is the external speaker sufficiently loud for voice navigation at motorway speeds in a car?
7. Nanko Rusev (unregistered)
Of course it depends on the car (how much noise in it) but we didn't have any problems with closed windows even at not-maximum volume.
8. cybiryan (unregistered)
Even the lower model Artemis has sufficient speaker volume to direct you on its GPS functionality. HTC won't be the worldwide leader in PDA-phone manufacturing if they've missed this one.
9. (unregistered)
This sounds pretty good. Lots of memory (RAM). I wonder if it is flash memory or needs power?
10. Akin (unregistered)
There seems to be a problem with the Kaiser. After finishing a phone call on the Kaiser the backlight goes off and stays off and I cannot access the Start menu. I can access all other functions but backlight stays off and one still cant get into the Start menu from anywhere on the screen. I have to press the power off button quickly once and then wait a second, press it again to be able to access the start button or the light to come on. This is definitely a bug in the tytn II and I hope HTC is doing something about this.
11. Jason (unregistered)
Forgive me if this is a stupid question. I've seen mention of AT&T in reference to this smart phone, however upon going to my local AT&T retail location they had no information about it nor any reason to believe it was coming, can you clarify if AT&T or any other US provider is adding this smart phone and if so an est eta. Thanks and GREAT website, just found it and will come back often.
12. (unregistered)
Jason, the question is not stupid. The phone WILL come to AT&T as the 8925 Tilt, but is still not OFFICIALLY announced by the carrier. Expect it ! :)
13. Paul (unregistered)
Did ATT decide not to include it?

The TyTN II is a very powerful machine, but besides those muscle specs, I am impressed about the easiness to maneuver this device. The combination of the multiple buttons and the HTC home page make it a pleasure to have it in your hands. The right and left soft keys are fantastic as every screen give you the right option for your selection, delete a mail, close a program, switch a call, it just guesses your next move, it's great! Then the HTC home screen lets you do so many things with your fingers, the stylus is hardly needed, but still available. I-phone is not the 7th marvel, this is it!, you touch for e-mails, SMS, weather, open any program , play a game, change settings, open your own downloads, music or GPS, ringer status, connectivity options, and so on… you just put your thumb and you get there. And if this is not enough, the other keys will take you to windows menu, internet explorer, camera or phone. You lean it and it gets really easy. But if this is not enough to do your work, you still have the track-wheel if you were ever used to a blackberry (It works better for left-handed); and then the Qwerty board than springs so easily at any moment when you need to type longer stuff. The way this device adapts to you makes a great difference and this is why TyTN II is so great and probable the best in the market today. Secondly, I am impressed about what this is; people ask me if this is my new phone. It's hard to respond as this is my PHONE which has voice recognition to just talk a name and get it dialed, it is also my PDA that is fully sync with outlook, it is my mini-laptop where I can review any type of document as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe, it is a WEB BROWSER that connects either you EDGE/3G cellular signal or it gets the Wi-Fi wherever available; it is your E-MAIL device to be connected at all times with pushed technology and ability to have multiple e-mails at the same time; it is a very powerful GPS with Tom-tom to get anywhere with very easy key-in directions; it is an MP3 PLAYER with as good or better sound quality to my I-pod and a CAMERA-VIDEO with 3 MP, enough to take decent pictures as you go. Regarding it technical capabilities, I'm sure everyone has read them everywhere and it no point saying this is the top-notch as of today, however, I believe that the combination of RAM and processor speed make is a very fast device and their connectivity features are very easy to get the best wherever you are. The Micro-SD is a great thing, I have a 6 GB and works great, I have Tom-tom maps for the whole US, hundreds of songs and few videos and still allows me to save space for files and other programs. Any lowlights? Not really, you could always want a better screen (VGA), or audio jack to connect my Bose headphones, or the track-wheel on the other side for right-handed, yes, nobody is perfect.

hello everybody. awesome device indeed, with great options. can anyone help me with the following: when receiving a text message, we can only see the sender's number not the person's name (even if this person is on the contact list). is there a way to fix this problem? thx to all

I just got my new TYTN II this afternoon. Still trying to get it set up. I am upgrading from a WM2003 I-Mate PDA2K. I found the PDA2K to be a great phone. Only replacing it because after 3 years of dropping it (tradesman) it is playing up. I read a lot of reviews where people complained about the size and weight. It is smaller and lighter than the PDA2K, and I had no issue with it's size or weight. In fact I am going to miss the 3.5" screen. If you need to compare, put the stylus across the diagonal of the screen, the PDA2K was equal to the length of the TYTN II stylus. A few things dissapoint me about the TYTN II. There does not seem to be a volume adjustment. Also the contacts can not be sorted by categories. The scroll bar is too thin and close the the edge of the screen, very hard to use with the end of your finger. But it does have touchflow scrolling. Not sure why, but i have a wifi connection, but it won't access the internet from the tytn II. Can't get GPRS to work. GPS not working because I can't access the internet to set it up. Also the software (copilot 7 Aussie) Does not work in New Zealand. Good points Charges via usb port (sync's at the same time) I spend a lot of time in the car and bought a car charger, so battery may not be an issue for me. Screen is clear and bright, better then PDA2K (but quite a bit smaller)

Don't get this phone (and avoid HTC at all costs)!!! I've had mine for about 9 months. The first couple of weeks I set it up and modified the settings until the battery lasted about two days. As you'll find in any sort of search, the default WM settings will drain the battery in far less than a full day. A couple months ago, when I made no configuration changes whatsoever, the battery started to drain within a day (as in, about 8 hours or less). I bought a new battery and charged it, and a couple of hours later saw that the new battery was draining faster than I expected (it was down below 80%). I set the phone into airplane mode and put it back in my pocket. The battery was dead in another six hours. This behavior is new - I have previously set the phone into airplane mode and played games and watched movies for the full length of a fifteen hour flight, with enough battery to make a couple of calls at the destination. Now if it's in flight mode and the screen is also on, the battery will drain within two or three hours. Since this is a new battery, it's got to be a phone problem but HTC doesn't really care. I contacted support repeatedly, and they totally ignored me. This was purchased as an unlocked phone, so my only support comes from HTC, not my carrier, and I don't get a new (free) phone just because this one's total crap. I'm not getting anything from HTC again, but of course your mileage may vary.

However, more and more Americans are turning away from bottled water due to the expense and the damage that so many plastic bottles cause to the environment. Fortunately, reverse osmosis systems allow homeowners to enjoy healthy water all throughout their homes.

Hamilton County OH's Leader in RO Systems & Installation Service
Reverse osmosis water filtration systems are some of the best water filtration systems available. Reverse osmosis systems produce clear, great tasting, odorless water for your entire home. Reverse osmosis takes its cues from nature. As plants take moisture and nutrients in through roots and leaves, the same applies for reverse osmosis systems. These systems force water against a membrane which filters out small particles - leaving your home's water fresh and clean.
Reverse osmosis systems are low maintenance because they are self-cleaning and wash particles and other impurities directly down the drain. Ohio Valley Pure Water installs these reverse osmosis systems in basements and directly on faucets all while keeping your water's filtration tucked away out of sight.

What is Reverse Osmosis?
We can best answer this question by first explaining briefly natural "Osmosis". This is nature's process by which moisture and nutrients are taken up through the root systems of plant life to its very outermost leaves. Moisture drawn from the soil passes through cell walls cell by cell in this process. It is scientifically described as the passing of a less dense liquid through a semi permeable membrane into a denser fluid until there is an equal density of fluid on either side of the membrane. The process is repeated cell by cell until nourishing fluid reaches the very outermost twigs and leaves of a plant. This process also takes place in our own bodies and other animal life.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is so named because man has reversed nature's process. RO forces raw tap water, which is the denser liquid, against a membrane by utilizing the city water pressure. When forced against the highly polished surface of the membrane the water molecules dissolve in the thin membrane layer and diffuse through it molecule by molecule, forming pure water on the product side of the membrane and in the process leaving 95% - 99% of the contaminants behind.
Is it necessary to change the filters every 12 months?
Yes, it is essential. The filters that we use in our R.O. unit are good for 12 months when using city/county water. By changing the four pre-filters on a regular basis, you will eliminate dirt and chemicals in the water that clog the membrane. After 12 months of use, the carbon filters can have bacteria growing within the filter media. Regardless of how much or how little water you use, it is highly recommended that you have your filters changed every 12 months. It is time and not usage that breaks down the filters. Well water and cistern water may necessitate more frequent filter changes.
Other than drinking & cooking, what other benefits are there to owning the R.O. unit?
- Peace of mind
- No more carrying bottled water
- Tastes great
- Healthier
- Medications can do a better job
- Ice and drinks taste better
- Ice is clear and not cloudy
- Useless mix to make coffee and tea
- Saves on concentrated juices
Hear directly from our satisfied customers!
"I submitted a request for an estimate and someone called me back within half an hour. He was able to come out and tell us what we needed within the next day or two. He was polite and knowledgeable. The visit came without the annoying sales pitch, high pressure sales tactics and useless power point presentations, which we greatly appreciated. They were able to come install the unit a couple days later and we've had it for a few months at this point. The price we paid was significantly less than if we'd gone through another company, as we received several estimates prior to going with Ohio Valley Pure Water. We couldn't be happier with how the softener and whole house filtering system has performed and how easy the entire process was." Jennifer Blankenship
"I love my water with the reverse osmosis system. The owners are knowledgeable, very friendly, and easy to deal with. When I did have an issue (turned out to be a defective filter from the manufacturer) Mike came right out the same day and personally fixed the problem. Couldn't be happier with my whole experience so far!" David Pelle

Belief, rock'n'roll and the danger of fans
I went to see New Model Army last night - the result of sitting next to lead singer Justin at a restaurant at Luton airport in the summer.
Wasn't on the guest list or anything, it was just that the chance encounter inspired my wife and I to go.
NMA have been touring in varying line ups for 25+ years. Their latest album was released this year.
And I think the reason they have been able to continue is they give their fans something to believe in. They stand for something. Something anti-establishment; for the common man - against the city. They were even once denied visas to tour the States. A feather in the cap indeed.
NMA also believe. It's what motivates them to play on a Wednesday night in Cambridge - rolling out Poison Street one more time. It's what kept them going despite the death of a prominent founding member.
It's what keeps the same fans coming back - dressing the same ways - and spreading the good word to their friends.
Belief has - I hazard a guess - made them happy, made them fulfilled, made their lives meaningful.
But it hasn't made them millionnaires.
And I wondered about that.
Not everyone wants money. But certainly NMA would like more believers (more in The Family).
So here's The Message. Don't be defined by your fans.
David Bowie was a big UK glam rock icon. Then he made a disco album. And went global.
Bowie fans are defined by Bowie.
Apple fanboys are defined by Apple.
Not vice versa.
You can be very successful by all kinds of measures by following your beliefs. But to take success beyond the silo of your current followers you must be prepared to redefine yourself on your own terms.
If NMA could have brought the Stop The City message to a wider audience by getting a haircut and playing the samba music they secretly hanker after (I'm making that up) would/could they?
True belief gives you the tools to go beyond your current hardcore, often at the risk of disappointing your current hardcore (imagine the delight of long-haired Bowie rock fans when They got Young Americans home).
Bowie's hardcore was not in his glam rock musical genre or in the style of his hair or clothes. It was in the permission to be different, to experiment and innovate that he gave fans.
And that attracted more people than sticking with what he knew was succeeding, ever could.
The DNA is in the belief - not in its latest expression
NMA's DNA is not in the music or the dress code of the fans. Nor is the DNA of any belief-based business wrapped up in its latest trappings.
Cling on to the DNA at all costs, but lose the trappings whenever you feel right - no matter how many of your current fans look at you as if you are drowning kittens.
Oh, and for the record NMA were great last night. And so were their fans.

On appeal he won a new trial as the Commonwealth of Virginia Supreme Court in a vote of 3-2 decided it was second degree murder not first degree murder. First degree murder requires premeditation, and the Court of Appeals decided that "the killer may form intent to kill at the moment of killing." (Washington and Lee Law Review, vol 40, issue 1, article 20, p. 345). Joseph Creed Carter's murderer received a new trial (since apparently he didn't bring the stick to the property, nor spend enough time contemplating his assault--- showing premeditation required for first degree murder) and was subsequently sentenced to eighteen years in prison on the lesser charge of murder in the second degree.
Frederick McDaniel avoided death. Joseph Creed Carter was bludgeoned over the head on his own property after letting the murderer borrow his team of horses and wagon. Nice guys finish last? Or sins of the father being revisited upon his son? (Frederick McDaniel was the son of an ex-slave. Joseph (known as Creed) Carter's father was a slave owner.) This was the Reconstructionist South and tensions were at a fevered pitch. The altercation was fueled by alcohol (both parties having imbibed) and racial tension. McDaniel called Carter "a liar", not something a fellow who fought in the War of Northern Aggression was going to take lightly coming from a negro.
McDaniel (the negro) had returned the horses and wagon, but failed to feed them according to Sallie Carter, Joseph's wife. When he (Carter) heard this and saw the man (McDaniel) walking by, Carter approached the perimeter of his property while his pregnant wife stood on the porch. The modern day equivalent is of course, borrowing someone's car and failing to refill the tank, even though in this case the gas (feed) was in the barn (of the lender).Verna (my lovely great grandmother)'s grandmother watched in horror as her husband (the lender of the horses) was "brained" by a large stick that McDaniel used to strike Carter over the head repeatedly.
Poor Sallie! She was left with a child on the way, and seven other children ranging in ages from five to fourteen. Hard times had already fallen on the family, and the farm had been getting smaller to pay off debts to neighbors. Verna's mother was eleven years old at the time of her father (Joseph Creed Carter)'s death. She would marry at a young age (16) and lessen the burden of another mouth for Sallie to feed by starting her own family.
Sallie did not remarry and she was the head of the household maintaining the small family farm when the census was taken in 1900. Sallie lived until 1915, and the story of her husband's death was family lore. I have a letter in which my great grandmother, Verna did document her recollections of the family lore to one of her daughters.
I read the case law pertaining to my relation's murder with great interest-- as his murder affected my great grandmother, who I knew and loved. In the near future I will be obtaining copies of the court documents that lead to the legal decision that differentiates first and second degree murder in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is an interesting, albeit sad tale of murder in the second degree following a sad part of American history.

Sorry locals, the secret is out...You just can't beat the Howard Creek arm of Bull Shoals Lake, Ark., for picturesque scenery during the upcoming days of early fall. This arm also allows for a quick jaunt inland to Bull Shoals City, making it one of the most enjoyable houseboating venues in the state.
It is this arm that extends to the east toward a 256-foot-high dam. The structure is a blockade of the White River--6,036 square drainage miles of it, to be exact. Its primary purpose is touted by its builders as "multi-purpose," but the real genesis of the lake is the need for flood control and power generation. This baby turns out a running capacity of 361,000 kilowatts--some serious water power by any standard.
Once you've checked out the dam, another possibility is to back-track a ways and check out the Spring Creek Arm, which is known to allow boaters of all persuasions to anchor for a day of in-season hunting. At the very least, the wildlife will be active in this portion of the Missouri-based offshoot. Generally the land around the lake houses a variety of game. Deer, squirrel, rabbit and other small game are abundant, and fowl such as duck, quail and turkey can also be found. Just be sure you have the right license for the right part of the lake.
No matter which portion of the lake you travel to, at least there are no doubts as to what's underwater. Fishing, for the waterway's plentiful rainbow trout, bass, crappie and walleye, as well as diving are very popular. The diving, especially for the able-bodied swimmer, could be more scenic than the view above the surface with scuba diving and snorkeling each safe possibilities. Heck, if you're going to be on a houseboat, you've prbably got plenty of time to take the dinghy out and find the best spots.
Now that I've surely convinced you to take a look down under, let me tell you about a few of the diving hot spots as described by the lake's Armadillo Dive & Sail Service:
* Wreck of the S.S. Minnow: Appropriately enough, this is off the south side of Gilligan's Island. Just swim south from the two willows to a depth of 20 feet, turn east to the line and follow it to the wreck.
* Bermuda Triangle: This suspicious-sounding spot is near the west side of Sister Creek. Swim west at 20 feet till you reach the line, and follow it straight to...well, you'll see.
* Key Hole: This is a "wall dive" that has a large hole you can swim through. If you're brave enough, there's another hole 30 feet farther down.
"If you find anything interesting, let us know," Armadillo proclaims. "You name it, and we'll add it to the map."
Be sure to use all the prudent safety precautions, use the buddy system and of course, don't get lost.
Keeping with the tradition of southern United States lakes, houseboaters can enjoy this and a slew of other activities at length, in relative comfort, during the summer and fall months. The air temperatures can go as high as the 90s in peak season with water temps reportedly in the high 70s. Crowds seem to peak along with the temps, but even then it's a far cry from an aquatic circus. That only helps enhance the view in all directions.

The Pinstripe Gift Box by seriouslysillysocks contains four pairs of Braintree women's super-soft bamboo crew socks. The four pinstriped pairs are in colours pink, lilac, rhubarb and violet, and displayed in a beautiful "sock drawer" gift box. The four pairs are in colours blue, pink, peach and sand and ideal for everday wear.
The seriouslysillysocks gift box is made of fully recyclable materials and is fully reusable making it ideal for storage of costume jewellery, trinkets, bit and bobs, screws and nails, golf balls your life savings or a list of your hopes and dreams!
Braintree bamboo socks are super soft and have strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Bamboo wicks moisture really effectively to help keep your feet dry, fresh, healthy and hygienic. Bamboo is known to feel warmer than standard cotton's in Winter and cooler in Summer due to it's fibre construction. While each experience may be different bamboo socks are considered beneficial by many people who suffer skin reactions to wearing man-made fibres; and is considered by others who suffer with conditions such as athletes foot to alleviate discomfort due to their breathable nature.
Bamboo socks are produced from bamboo which is a renewable resource, to which is added organic cotton which is grown without chemicals, fertilisers, pesticides or genetic modification. These seriously silly socks are 75% bamboo from viscose, 17% organic cotton and 8% elastane.
Machine wash as you would cotton at 30 degrees.
One size option (UK 4-7, EU 37-41, US 6.5-9.5, AUS 5-8), these socks have lots of stretch and flexibility for a comfortable fit.
We love these beautiful socks for their simple design, sustainable materials, softness and moisture control.

Caring for socks won't be top of most people's minds when doing the laundry but great socks (and tights) deserve proper care to help them look fabulous, feel great, and last a long time! We recommend always to follow the care information on the packaging the socks are delivered with. You might also find this guide helpful:
Bamboo and Cotton fibres
Machine wash at 30°c is best but we know socks get thrown in with everything else at 40 and that will usually be okay. The most important thing is to avoid tumble drying if possible which is likely to cause some shrinkage. Ideally dry socks naturally and stretch back into shape when removing from the washer.
Sheep Wool, Merino, Alpaca, Cashmere Blend and Fluffy Socks
Ideally hand wash or if the socks are especially valuable then you might even consider dry cleaning. If convenience and time leads you to machine wash then a short and gentle low temperature wool setting is essential to minimise shrinkage.
Never use a tumble dryer but instead stretch socks back into shape and dry naturally. For hand washed socks it's best to dry flat, the amount of water still present may stretch a sock left hanging on a line or airer.
Cashmere socks
Machine washing is out of the question for luxury Cashmere socks. Gentle hand wash and never use a tumble dryer but instead stretch socks back into shape and dry naturally and flat.

To begin with, if the official story is true, World Trade Center buildings 1, 2, and 7 all made history on 9/11 by being the first and only steel-framed buildings ever to collapse from fire or a plane crash. Steel-framed buildings have burned for up to 28 hours, gutting the entire interiors, but still not collapsed. The
The official story states that fires from burning jet fuel weakened the buildings' steel beams until they gave way and collapsed. In the past, all over the world steel buildings have burned uncontrollably for over 20 hours, completely decimating every floor and not collapsed. Not once in history had one fallen from fire, until 9/11 when WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 supposedly all did. The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) reports that the temperatures of jet fuel fires do not exceed 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and steel does not begin to melt until 2800 degrees. This means they would have us believe jet fuel fires burning 1000 degrees below steel's melting point, for only 56 and 103 minutes, on only 8 and 5 floors respectively, was enough to bring down the twin towers. Even giving them the benefit of the doubt, assuming that jet fuel fires did somehow weaken the steel frames enough to bring down the buildings how is it possible that they collapsed at the speed of gravity? The official story is that fire
"In order for a floor to fall, hundreds of joints had to break almost simultaneously on 236 exterior columns and 47 core columns … For a 1,300-foot building, ten seconds is almost free-fall speed. But if each floor produced just a little resistance, so that breaking through each one took a half second, the collapse of all those floors - 80 or 95 of them - would have taken 40 to 47 seconds. Can we really believe that the upper part of the buildings encountered virtually no resistance from the lower parts? The problem would be even worse in relation to the North Tower, at least if Hufschmid is right to say that it fell in eight seconds, which would be exactly free-fall speed 'How,' he asks, 'could the debris crush 100 steel and concrete floors while falling as fast as objects fall through air?'" -David Icke, "Alice in Wonderland and the
News footage, firefighters, ground-zero workers and other witnesses reported molten metal flowing out of windows preceding the collapse, and huge pools collected in the basement area remaining in molten form for over 5 weeks. For fire to produce molten steel, it absolutely must be over 2800 degrees Fahrenheit, and jet fuel burns at 1000 degrees cooler than that. What can account for this? Professor Steven Jones, a physics professor at BYU points out that thermite combustion is a process used in controlled demolitions which produces high
The idea that explosive charges were placed inside the building is supported by literally hundreds of eyewitnesses, seismic recordings, video footage, and Isaac Newton. Firefighters and scores of witnesses on CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS all talked about bombs going off that day, but once Osama bin Laden had been blamed, it was never again addressed by the mainstream media or the Kean Commission. Teresa Veliz, for one, was working on the 47th floor of the
Also seismographic data from a nearby observatory showed two spikes of 2.1 and 2.3 Richter at the instant the collapses began. This too indicates explosive charges, because if the towers simply "pancaked" down, the seismographic spikes would happen when the massive debris hit the ground, not at the start of the collapse. In all, the number of people claiming to see, hear, detect, or suspect bombs in the buildings is staggering. Add to this the visual evidence from footage of the collapse, in which Demolitions experts have pointed out "squibs" characteristic of controlled implosions. Squibs are charges that go off early below the line of detonation as the buildings are coming down. If you play the twin towers' collapses in slow-motion you will notice dozens of squibs blowing out the sides ahead of time.

Locate Postcards From Penguin: 100 Book Jackets in One Box any book is going to be available for you for online reading through. It is not Postcards From Penguin: 100 Book Jackets in One Box a commercial project and we may be glad with little help of the user to share the connection of our site together with your friends.
Description : A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a different and iconic Penguin book jacket. From classics to crime, here are over seventy years of quintessentially British design in one box.
In 1935 Allen Lane stood on a platform at Exeter railway station, looking for a good book for the journey to London. His disappointment at the poor range of paperbacks on offer led him to found Penguin Books. The quality paperback had arrived.
Declaring that 'good design is no more expensive than bad', Lane was adamant that his Penguin paperbacks should cost no more than a packet of cigarettes, but that they should always look distinctive.
Ever since then, from their original – now world-famous – look featuring three bold horizontal stripes, through many different stylish, inventive and iconic cover designs, Penguin's paperback jackets have been a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture. And whether they're for classics, crime, reference or prize-winning novels, they still follow Allen Lane's original design mantra.
Sometimes, you definitely should judge a book by its cover.

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare heart defect in which parts of the tricuspid valve are abnormal. The tricuspid valve separates the right lower heart chamber (right ventricle) from the right upper heart chamber (right atrium).
The condition is congenital, which means it is present from birth.
Alternative Names
Ebstein's malformation
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The tricuspid valve is normally made of three parts, called leaflets or flaps. The leaflets open to allow blood to move from the right atrium (top chamber) to the right ventricle (bottom chamber) while the heart relaxes. They close to prevent blood from moving from the right ventricle to the right atrium while the heart pumps.
In persons with Ebstein's anomaly, the leaflets are unusually deep in the right ventricle. The leaflets are often larger than normal. The defect usually causes the valve to work poorly, and blood may go the wrong way back into the right atrium. The backup of blood flow can lead to heart swelling and fluid buildup in the lungs or liver. Sometimes, not enough blood gets out of the heart into the lungs and the person may appear blue.
In most cases, patients also have a hole in the wall separating the heart's two upper chambers and blood flow across this hole may cause oxygen-poor blood to go to the body. There may be narrowing of the valve that leads to the lungs (pulmonary valve).
Ebstein's anomaly occurs as a baby develops in the womb. The exact cause is unknown, although the use of certain drugs (such as lithium or benzodiazepines) during pregnancy may play a role. The condition is rare. It is more common in white people.
Symptoms range from mild to very severe. Often, symptoms develop soon after birth and include bluish-colored lips and nails due to low blood oxygen levels. In severe cases, the baby appears very sick and has trouble breathing.
Symptoms in older children may include:
- Cough
- Failure to grow
- Fatigue
- Rapid breathing
- Shortness of breath
- Very fast heartbeat
Signs and tests
Newborns who have a severe leakage across the tricuspid valve will have very low levels of oxygen in their blood and significant heart swelling. The doctor may hear abnormal heart sounds, such as murmur, when listening to the chest with a stethoscope.
Tests that can help diagnose this condition include:
- Chest x-ray
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart
- Measurement of the electrical activity of the heart (EKG)
- Ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram)
Treatment depends on the severity of the defect and the specific symptoms. Medical care may include:
Medications to help with heart failure
Oxygen and other breathing support
Surgery to correct the valve may be needed for children who continue to worsen or who have more serious complications
Expectations (prognosis)
In general, the earlier symptoms develop, the more severe the disease.
Some patients may have either no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Others may worsen over time, developing blue coloring (cyanosis), heart failure, heart block, or dangerous heart rhythms.
A severe leakage can lead to swelling of the heart and liver, and congestive heart failure.
Other complications may include:
- Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), including abormally fast rhythms (tachyarrhythmias) and abnormally slow rhythms (bradyarrhythmias and heart block)
- Blood clots from the heart to other parts of the body
- Brain abscess
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if your child develops symptoms of this condition. Seek immediate medical attention if breathing problems occur.
There is no known prevention, other than talking with your doctor before a pregnancy if you are taking medicines that are thought to be related to developing this disease. You may be able to prevent some of the complications of the disease. For example, taking antibiotics before dental surgery may help prevent endocarditis.

The German power grid operator TransnetBW has commissioned the first impressively environmentally friendly transformer in Bruchsal, Germany. It is the first power transformer in the 420 kV capacity range insulated and cooled using vegetable oil. more
New reference website for HelWin 1
The grid access platform HelWin1, which will transmit offshore wind power for more than 500,000 German households to the mainland, was successfully anchored in its final position in the North Sea. A new project reference page providing video documentation of the completed project phases is online now. Why not have a look and discover more details about HelWin1? more
Siemens completes the world's longest and highest-capacity GIL connection in China
Siemens completed the construction of a gas-insulated transmission line (GIL) for China Three Gorges Project Corporation at the country's second largest hydropower plant "Xiluodu". The project consisted of the installation of a total of seven three-pole systems, each with a length of 620 meters at an operating voltage of 550 kilovolts and with a power rate of 3900 MVA. The single-pole tube length is 12.5 kilometers, making this the world's longest GIL. more
Siemens has installed first offshore platform in the North Sea
Siemens has installed the HelWin1 offshore platform in the North Sea, marking the successful completion of a significant stage in German grid connection projects. When the HelWin1 converter platform goes online, it will link the Nordsee Ost and Meerwind wind power plants to the mainland. The platform will convert the up to 576 megawatts (MW) of electricity produced in the wind power plants to direct current and transmit it via submarine cable to the German mainland 85 kilometers away. The low-loss direct current power is then converted back into alternating current at a converter station on land and fed in to the German power grid. more
HVDC Pole 3 commissioned in New Zealand – an "incredible feat of engineering"
New Zealand residents can sleep easier this winter following commissioning of the new High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) converter equipment – Pole 3 – in May. The new Pole will allow electricity transmission operator Transpower to better access New Zealand's vast hydroelectric resources in the South Island and more effectively balance energy across both islands. Building a new HVDC Pole in the middle of an operating power system – and in one of the world's most extreme seismic zones – proved to be a huge challenge for Siemens and Transpower. After a successful trial operation, Pole 3 was revealed to about 100 industry leaders, customers, staff and key contractors at the Haywards substation, north of Wellington, at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on 22nd of July. more
Completion ahead of schedule: Transmission completes important Hudson project supporting reliable power for New York City
The Hudson project was completed by Siemens Energy Transmission and commissioned six weeks ahead of schedule, on June 3, 2013. The Hudson project is a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) project that connects power from New Jersey to Manhattan through a HVDC station and a 7.5 mile (12 km) underground and underwater cable. It is capable of providing 660 MW of power reliable power to New York City, approximately five percent of the City's peak demand. The contract was awarded to Siemens Energy, Inc. by Hudson Transmission Partners, LLC, managed by PowerBridge, LLC of Fairfield, Connecticut. more

Are you interested in reading and creative writing? Have you ever wondered, "Why does Dr. Frankenstein create that crazy monster?" Or, "Why didn't Juliet leave Romeo a note before she drank that sleeping potion?" Well, if you have, then you've come to the right place. While majoring in English, you will be engaged in reading, analyzing, writing about and discussing a wide range of texts written in English or available in English translation.
All Berry students will take at least one or two courses in our department to fulfill requirements in Berry's General Education Program. We believe that those courses are a foundation for all majors at Berry as you explore improving your analytical writing and critical thinking skills. Strong communication skills are at the heart of every major, thus every profession, and we work with our colleagues across the campus to ensure that those skills are incorporated into your learning experiences throughout the curriculum.
At the same time, we offer a dynamic major and minor. We encourage you to consider a double major at Berry – or perhaps a major and one or more minors. For those whose goal is to teach, we work closely with our colleagues in education to be sure that you graduate fully certified and fully knowledgeable both about classroom strategies and with a rich expertise in your discipline. Our major with an emphasis upon literature offers you the opportunity to explore works from not only English and American Literature, but also around the world. As English has emerged as the primary international language, writers from many countries – long influenced by British and American authors – are adding to the rich tradition of works published both in English and translated from their native language into English. English Studies now encompasses an international community of authors exploring age-old questions and contemporary issues. Thus, you will have the opportunity to study texts, theory, and modes of delivery which now include digital formats. Finally, our new major in Creative Writing recognizes the growing interest in creative work among students as well as the essential foundation of reading works of published poetry, fiction, and non-fiction prose. In addition, you will have regular opportunities to interact with published writers who visit campus and to present your own work to and beyond our campus.

22 October 2010 5:59 am (latex | python)
About four years ago I posted an article about easy acronyms generation in LaTeX. Yesterday, I did some updates to the script (tex-acronyms.py) that I wanted to share with you (if anyone is reading...). Basically, the updates are:
A user defined acronyms file can be specified via the -u argument. User defined acronyms take precedence over global acronyms definition.
Global excluded acronyms file has been removed. Now, the user must define acronyms to be excluded in the user defined acronyms file as an empty acronym. For example:
Then, the definition of GHH will not be included in the list of acronyms.
To facilitate the read of acronyms conflicts, it is now specified if the conflict is because of a "Duplicated", "Undefined" or "Excluded" acronym.
So, the script is called as before but a new optional argument -u can be specified for the user defined acronyms file:
tex-acronyms.py [-r] -d /path/to/acronyms \ -i article.tex \ [-u user_acronyms.tex] \ -o acronyms.tex \ -e acronyms.errors

Have you noticed that white seems to be the new "it" theme in home decor? Many of the blogs I look to for inspiration, folks like Chez Larsson, Today I Love, and decor8, they all seem to be on a kick of painting walls and furniture and floors white, white, white. The bare look has a spartan beauty to it, an elegant simplicity that suggests infinite patience and total domination over clutter. Let's just say my own space will never, ever, ever be featured in any of those blogs. Except perhaps under the header "NOT."
So instead I'd like to send a shout out to all those people who surround themselves with color and softness and textural chaos. On their furniture, their tables, their walls, their windows, wherever they damn well please. The more the merrier. I'm not talking an episode of Hoarders, just...not a size 2. Decorgenically speaking.
How about it? Is anyone with me?

35395, Children's Songbook, Nature and Seasons, The Prophet Said to Plant a Garden, 237
1. The prophet said to plant a garden, so that's what we'll do.
For God has given rich brown soil, the rain and sunshine too.
And if we plant the seeds just right and tend them carefully,
Before we know, good things will grow to feed our family.
2. We'll plant the seeds to fill our needs, then plant a few to spare,
And show we love our neighbors with the harvest that we share.
Oh, won't you plant a garden, too, and share the many joys
A garden brings in health and love to happy girls and boys!

"A Giant Pencil" By Connor Wilson
Description: Written by a kid for kids, A Giant Pencil will is a charming, clever, heartwarming story with an important message that will resonate with parents, teachers, and kids of all ages. A Giant Pencil is the story of Billy, a grumpy kid who believes that everyone—his brothers and sisters, his parents, his teachers, the kids at school, and even the dog next door—is picking on him. Fed up with being fussed at, singled out, and bullied, Billy just wants people to leave him alone. Everything changes when Billy finds a magic, giant pencil. Now, Billy can erase anyone he doesn't like and make them disappear. Finally, Billy's dream of being left alone is within his reach. A few swipes from the eraser and his siblings, classmates, teachers, parents, and even the dog next door, simply disappear. But his dream becomes a nightmare when Billy finds that being alone isn't all it's cracked up to be—and realizes just how much his family, teachers, classmates (and even the dog next door) mean to him. Left with only a nub of an eraser, Billy hatches a plan. Could there be some more magic left in this magic giant pencil?

Since leaving Philadelphia Media Network, I have been speaking with newspaper publishers and with many of the vendors who supply the services those publishers use and have realized that there is a disconnect between the two. Simply put, publishers require more then most vendors are able to provide — if a vendor is good at sales, they may struggle with publisher relations, if they are good at publisher relations they might struggle with post-sale training and user development. To help both groups be more successful I'm excited to be able to share that I have created Media Vanguards.
With offices in Bryn Mawr, Pa., Media Vanguards provides the vendor side of the business a variety of services including outsourced publisher relations, post sale support and managed introductions. We're already working with a number of companies and thanks to a great team, have the bandwidth to add more. And at the same time, we're continuing to talk with publishers and learning what issues they are struggling with and offering them solutions that meet their needs. At the core of what we do is our simple goal of helping vendors be more successful, ensuring that their products are being used effectively and helping publishers fill holes in their product and revenue strategies.
If you sense that this is something I'm excited about and deeply believe in, that is because I am and I do. I think this an interesting time for the industry and I'm excited to be able to play my own role. I am pleased to already be working with some great companies and am excited by those opportunities still to come.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 22, 2009) - A two-goal second period was all the ETSU men's soccer team needed as they downed Mars Hill 3-0 Saturday in an exhibition match at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
"This was a very good game for us," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "We performed up to our expectations and passed very well. For us it was important to have a shutout and to convert our chances, and we did both of those things tonight."
The two teams played three 30 minute periods as the Buccaneers outshot the Lions in the game 26-3 and had a 6-1 advantage in corners. Sophomore James Holt (
"I am very pleased with the way out team came out and approached the game mentally," Calabrese said. "The work rate was there, and we are making very good progress in the preseason. If we continue to improve at the rate we have been improving, we will have a very strong season."
The Bucs dominated the first period of the exhibition out shooting the Lions 9-0 with a 2-1 corner kick advantage. ETSU did a good job of holding possession in the Mars Hill half of the field, but could not convert as the game remained scoreless at the first intermission.
Sophomore Jaron Westbrook (Round Rock,

Things have been a little, um, rough around the edges at the Winter Olympics in Sochi thus far. After one of the five Olympic rings failed to light at the opening ceremony, one clever prankster found a great way to tie it in with Audi's logo.
This picture quickly shot to the top of Reddit this morning, and you have to admit that it's kind of brilliant. "When four rings is all you need." Ha!
Given Audi's history of good-humored advertisement trolling, you might expect that this came straight from the folks at Ingolstadt themselves. Not so, according to Mashable:
Instead, it's a clever bit of real-time marketing by a fan on Audi's behalf, which an Audi representative says is the most likely scenario. "This is not an official ad [...] it is most likely from an Audi fan," the rep said.
It's also pretty clearly just text over this photo. Well, even if Audi says they didn't come up with it, I bet they wish they had.

Defending the Rights of Cuban Worker
In April of 2005, the Cuba Study Group joined over 30 organizations from 7 different countries at the first Annual Conference of the International Group for Social Corporate Responsibility in Madrid, Spain. At that conference the 35 organizations that were represented, including independent labor unions and non-profit organizations from around the world, unanimously approved a resolution condemning the Cuban regime's systematic violation of internationally recognized labor standards and agreed to form the International Group for Social Corporate Responsibility in Cuba (GIRSCC, for its Spanish acronym). The Cuba Study Group is a founding member of the GIRSCC.
The GIRSCC is a non-profit organization registered in the State of Florida that advocates for the protection of labor rights in Cuba and a socially responsible behavior by corporations with economic interests in that country. It's mission is to educate Cuban workers, foreign investors, the media, multinational institutions and other labor and non-profit organizations about the Cuban regime's systematic violations of labor rights and to call on foreign investors and the Cuban regime to respect international treaties, conventions and agreements on labor rights that they are subject to.
GIRSCC Activities
1. Media education and outreach campaign
This activity is aimed towards educating reporters and
columnists about the Cuban regime's systematic violation of labor rights
and the need for Corporate Social Responsibility by foreign investors
in Cuba. Through this education, we aim towards increasing media
reporting on the labor rights situation in Cuba and the need for
socially responsible business practices by foreign investors in Cuba.
2. Educate multi-national institutions
Representatives of member organizations meet with
representatives of, testify before and file claims with, multinational
organizations including: the Organization of American States, the United
Nations, International Labor Organization and the Inter- American
Commission on Human Rights with the goal of calling the attention of
these organizations to the systematic violations of labor rights in Cuba
by the regime and the role of foreign investors in order to seek their
condemnation of these activities and support for Cuban worker's rights.
3. Educate Cuban Workers
A significant percentage of the group's efforts is directed at
educating and informing independent labor leaders within Cuba about
freedom of association, collective bargaining and international labor
standards. This activity will be supported by the distribution of
materials including ILO training manuals and handbooks as well as
workshops provided by professional labor experts within Cuba organized
by the GIRSCC.
4. Educate foreign investors
Representatives of the GIRSCC's member
organizations and staff participate in a campaign to educate companies
with economic interests in Cuba about their complicity in the violation
of Cuban worker's rights and seek their cooperation. This campaign,
which seeks cooperation and to avoid confrontation, is carried out
through the distribution of correspondence, studies, facts and materials
as well as meetings between GIRSCC representatives and executives of
the various foreign investors.
5. Educate other non-profit organizations and independent labor unions
In an effort to continuously broaden the international nature of the GIRSCC and increase the diverse membership of the organization, the group leads an effort to inform other non-profit organizations and independent labor unions about the systematic violations of Cuban worker's labor rights by the regime and the role of foreign investors.
