Delighted to continue to report on the development of this wonderful project, and also so proud to be a part of it, along with my daughter, Lexie Roth, who sang on this wonderful new album. The other night, in NYC at the Iridium Club, where Les Paul had "held court" for so many years, we all got to celebrate the release of Lou Pallo's wonderful project with the Les Paul Trio called "Thank you Les", a true tribute to the man himself, said as only so many great artists can say it; with their music!
We tried to evoke Les' spirit with this album, and I chose to record Mr. Sandman, which of course, is the kind of song that was right up Les' alley, and my daughter Lexie got to sing the incredible "Vaya Con Dios", which was such a huge hit for Les and Mary back in the early '50s! It was a joy to record, and most everything was cut live to tape, with almost no overdubs at all! (a funny twist, considering we were paying tribute to the man who invented overdubbing and multi-track recording!) What's also great about this is the positive spirit of all those involved. We seem to have become like a big family….Les' family! We are all becoming friends, and I've certainly made a lot of new ones such as Eddie Brigati of The Rascals, the great singer Blondie Chaplin, producer Ben Elliot, and bassists Paul Nowinski, Nicki Parrott, Gary Mazziroppi and Jay Leonhart. Not to mention that I get to play on the same album as such heavyweights such as Keith Richards, Billy F. Gibbons, Jose Feliciano, Steve Miller, Bucky Pizzarelli, Johnny A., Slash, Lou Pallo and so many more!
We are all united by our love, respect and thanks for what the great Les Paul meant to us and the world of music, and he is a man who's contributions will grow and grow over the years, and whose importance is on the level of Thomas Alva Edison, or even an Albert Einstein!
The concert/release party we had the other night was truly magical, and something not to be missed. It was as if the entire world of music had come together in one harmonious chord to sing the praises of Les and all he had done. We shared stories, made new friends, and also, through this album have helped leave our own indelible mark on the world of music by leaving behind this "album for the ages!"
Gibson.com's Arlen Roth, affectionately known The King of All Guitar Teachers, is music lesson pioneer and the quintessential guitarist. An accomplished and brilliant musician — and one of the very few who can honestly say he's done it all — Roth has, over the course of his celebrated 35-year career, played on the world's grandest stages, accompanied many of the greatest figures in modern music and revolutionized the concept of teaching guitar.

Report: Lead #BlackLivesMatter Organizers Singled Out As 'Threat Actors' By Cybersecurity Firm
A "crisis management" report shows that a Baltimore cybersecurity startup, ZeroFox, singled out members of the Black Lives Matter movement as "threat actors" during the protests and rioting around Freddie Gray's death in April, Mother Jones reports. The report highlights two Black Lives Matter organizers, DeRay McKesson and Johnetta Elzie, terming their threat level "high" and "physical," urging "continuous monitoring." It also identifies Baltimore officials and law enforcement agencies for "asset protection."
This follows on reports in late July that the Department of Homeland Security has been comprehensively monitoring Black Lives Matter activities in Ferguson, Mo., Baltimore, Md., Washington, D.C., and New York, N.Y since August 2014.

Rising Tides, Rising Temperatures: Global Warming Effects on Oceans
Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming – 2008-04-29 – On Tuesday, April 29, 2008, Chairman Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming held a hearing examining the impact global warming is having on the earth's oceans and ecosystems. Featuring renowned explorer Sylvia Earle and other ocean experts, the hearing discussed how carbon dioxide emissions and the effects from global warming are harming the earth's coral reefs, increasing the acidity and sea-levels of oceans across the globe, and putting fish stocks at risk during an already burgeoning food crisis.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Yankees captured their 12th American
League East title in 15 years, and did so in customary fashion.
Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson each homered twice to back seven strong
innings from Hiroki Kuroda as the Yankees bombarded the Boston Red Sox, 14-2,
to claim the division crown in what may be the final game of the tenures of
Boston manager Bobby Valentine and pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka.
The win also gave New York (95-67) the best record in the AL and home-field
advantage throughout the league playoffs. The Yankees will take on the winner
of Friday's wild card matchup between Texas and Baltimore in the Division
Series, which will start on Sunday.
Cano led a 15-hit barrage by going 4-for-4 with three runs scored and tying a
career-high with six RBI. Granderson knocked in four runs for New York, which
has belted an MLB-best 245 home runs to eclipse the franchise's previous
season record of 244, set during its last world championship run in 2009.
Kuroda (16-11) did his part by limiting the sagging Red Sox to two runs and
scattering seven hits to improve to 4-1 over his last six starts.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, conclude a dismal 2012 season with a 69-93 record --
their worst since a 100-loss campaign in 1965 -- and defeats in eight straight
and 12 of their final 13 outings, leading to heavy speculation that Valentine
will be fired after just one year on the job.
Matsuzaka (1-7) also isn't expected to be around in 2013, and the Japanese
superstar ended the last start of a lucrative six-year contract by being
rocked for five runs and six hits in just 2 1/3 innings to raise his season
earned run average to an ugly 8.13.
Cody Ross went 2-for-3 with an RBI single for Boston, with Pedro Ciriaco also
recording a pair of hits in a losing cause.

Ye, It is correct. Even when camera is off you will see some info on LCD.
I can't get the "beep" AF confirmation to work, I have chosen volume level but it doesn't work any ideas?
Camera will beep only if you are in AF-S mode. You are probably on AF-A or AF-C...

RIVERSIDE – The final defendant in the case of an international online child pornography bulletin board was convicted today in federal court in Riverside.
Billy Wade Carroll, 51, of Dayton, Ohio, faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 35 years and could receive a life sentence for his conviction of one count of conspiracy to advertise, solicit, transport, distribute, receive and possess child pornography and a second count of committing a child pornography offense while being required to register as a sex offender in Ohio.
Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 9.
Carroll is the last of 16 members of the Lost Boy bulletin board in the United States who were initially charged in the case, said Thom Mrozek of the U.S. Attorney's Office. Fourteen have been convicted and another died while in custody.
The case began when the Los Angeles-based Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Team arrested a North Hollywood man, Mrozek said.
Carroll was tried by U.S. District Judge Virginia A. Phillips who is based in Riverside.
The case involved the FBI and international law enforcement agencies from Western and Eastern Europe, Latin America and New Zealand. Of the 35 members, 16 were American.
The board was closed down more than two years ago.
Carroll was an active member who made more than 100 posts between September 2007 and January 2009. He supplied images of child pornography for other members to download and requested other members provide him with particular images he wanted for his child pornography collection.
According to court documents and proceedings, the Lost Boy bulletin board was dedicated to men who had a sexual interest in young boys and was established so its members could trade child pornography.
Lost Boy members also advised each other on techniques to evade detection by law enforcement, including using screen names to mask identities and ways of encrypting computer data.

According to industry monitors Gfk it is estimated that almost one-third of all flat-screen sets sold in the UK in September were 'HD Ready.' Sky now anticipates that around 700,000 HD sets will have been sold in the UK by the end of this year. The total is expected to rise to around two million by the end of 2006.
This does seem to chime with some 'off the record' chats with some industry bods who are stating that they can't make flat screens fast enough and at the beginning of the year underestimated demand.

Readers' Choice: Land Your Favorite Discarded to Divine Designer in 7x7
Last week we launched a reader's choice contest that will land one designer from this year's Discarded to Divine fashion showcase in a feature in an upcoming issue of 7x7.
This week, as the contest continues, we bring you background on six designers and design teams vying for the prize. Be sure to vote and check out their creations for this annual fundraiser, which challenges established and emerging designers to transform discarded clothing and textiles into one-of-a-kind apparel, accessories and items for the home in support of St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco and its programs fighting poverty, homelessness and domestic violence.
1. Hansine Goran
Hansine Goran, a textile artist and president of Current Carpets, turned to the ideas of alchemy and transformation as she created a carpet triptych with sections that can be arranged individually or together for this year's Discarded to Divine.
"The carpets were inspired by Discarded to Divine's devotion to transformation, renewal and sustainability and are meant to serve as an icon for both the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco and Discarded to Divine's commitment to the processes of change," explains Goran, who has won twelve international Awards for Design Excellence.
With each piece representing a different stage in the alchemy process, Goran's carpets were made by repurposing excess wool that would have otherwise been thrown away after the completion of a custom carpet order.
2. Wesley Ito
A walk through the de Young Museum inspired the short, flirty cocktail dress Wesley Ito created for this year's St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco fundraising event.
"I was inspired by art that was highly ornate from paintings to sculpture to furniture design. When looking through the discarded fabric, I came across an old table cloth. I instantly thought of the art I saw at the museum and knew that this was the fabric to use," says Ito, a Hawaii native who moved to the City 11 years ago to pursue graphic design.
The resulting frock's allover blue pattern takes on surprisingly modern sensibilities, thanks to Ito's youthful silhouette and brightly-hued velvet waistband detail.
3. Melissa Panages (aka Famous Melissa)
Computer chips may form a focal point for the garment Melissa Panages created for the show, but the San Francisco artist was greatly influenced by the past.
"The piece I made for the Discarded to Divine fashion show was inspired by both ancient cultures and ancient Hollywood glamour of the 30's and 40's," says Panages, who saw a connection between the circuitry of the chips and ancient Mayan imagery.
A camisole featuring the high-tech cast-offs occupies the center of the garment, while golden fabric and curving seams add visual interest to this old-meets-new piece of wearable art.
4. Janice Paredes
Inspiration for the belted coat Janice Paredes designed for Discarded to Divine 2011 came from her mother, Dorothy, a skilled sewer and avid recycler of textiles long before it was cool to do so.
"Dorothy was my first sewing and textiles teacher and an innovative recycler. She gave me an appreciation for fabrics and taught me to think of using secondhand garments as an opportunity to create something original," explains Paredes, who is the Fashion Design Department Coordinator at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in San Francisco. Prior to teaching, she worked in the Fashion industry for over 20 years and held design positions at Levi Strauss and Co. and Jessica McClintock.
A subdued grey top and menswear-driven details give way to a lower half livened by fringe and oversized houndstooth check appliqués. The shape and color combination take their cues from Paredes' favorite decade: the 1960's.
5. Xiang Zang and Yoorium Kim
Xiang Zang and Yoorium Kim teamed up to create their Aphrodite dress, whose fine gauge knit, nude tones and use of fabrics such as chiffon and cashmere come together in a modern, yet ethereal piece inspired by Botticelli's Birth of Venus painting.
"The fur collar with silk ribbon tied in the front is an accessorial piece of the dress and can be worn separately," Xiang says.
The pair hope the design conveys a look that's contemporary, but also invokes goddess qualities.
" 'Tough with the divine' is the theme, why we create this piece of art…there is a divine that lives in everyone's heart. This is also the reason that prompted us to participate in this event," says Xiang.
6. Jill Giordano and Brian Scheyer
The design duo behind San Francisco label gr.dano turned to several unlikely materials for the hand-dyed coat they designed for Discarded to Divine, including a secondhand baby blanket and patterned cotton drapes. But transforming cast-off textiles into a stylish result was hardly the only challenge the designers faced. Pulling off the ombre technique used to create the gradient color effect was no small feat.
"We had to construct the whole garment in its entirety first, then dye it, which meant we had one shot to get it right," says Scheyer, who also notes that the coat was inspired by the pair's fog-filled daily morning drives across the Golden Gate Bridge from Sausalito into the City.
Another special aspect of the design is its versatility. The collar can be worn in multiple ways, and the voluminous silhouette and accompanying belt can accommodate sizes 4 to 8.
Which is your favorite design? Cast your vote below.

Some say the spirits of the deceased imprint themselves on the house in which they lived and died. The energy left by the dead manifests itself in strange noises, objects moving by themselves, shadowy figures, and other phenomena associated with haunting.
Could the terrible events that took place in these houses have left a "spiritual residue" behind?

Easy Ways For An Apple A Day
Oh my gosh. I just received the most wonderful email from Brit & Co., a do-it-yourself website that I subscribe to. I really enjoy this website for the crafts, art, and decoration projects, but recently, it has been posting some incredible recipes, and in most cases these recipes have been super easy to replicate and make gluten free when necessary. So, the wonderful email was a Brit & Co. recipe email leading to articles about apples. I love apples. They are definitely my favorite fruit, and, next to the egg, quite possibly my favorite food (click here and here for blogs on eggs). For quite some time of my life, I lived off of apples, eggs, Cheerios, and yogurt. Still, to this day, I love these four foods although I can no longer enjoy Cheerios.
The apple is just so delicious. I tend to prefer more tart apples like Granny Smith, but every once in a while, I want a nice, sweet, juicy Fuji or Red Delicious. Delicious indeed! And I like my apples alone, with other foods like peanut butter, cheese, or hummus, and in recipes from the common desserts to more adventurous salads and baked dishes. Oh yes. The apple is versatile.
Brit & Co. has some awesome apple recipes right now. For instance, the website has three savory recipes for apple pie in an apple with the added ingredient of complimentary cheese. So, the Granny Smith was paired with gorgonzola, Fuji and brie, and Red Delicious with sharp white cheddar. Holy yumminess, I can't wait to try these out, only without the crust on top…or at least with a gluten-free crust.
Another suggestion from Brit & Co. was the apple bagelwich. I adore this idea. Obviously, for those of us who are gluten-free, regular bagels are a no-no, but to replace a bagel with a cored apple is simply ingenious. In between, one could fill it with peanut butter and honey or cheese and spinach or hummus…or…or…or…so many possibilities. And it will look like a sandwich only filled with the tastiness and health of apples.
A third great idea was making baked apples only in a tiny chip. Here are the directions from Brit & Co.:
- Core your apple(s) and slice thinly. The thickness is up to you, just know that the thicker the slices, the longer the cooking time.
- Use aspic cutters to cut out different shapes of apples to bake. It's seriously like cookie cutting. I used 1" cutters and got about 4 apple cookies from each slice, but you can even get the .5" inch cutters if you want more or smaller shapes.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and lay them flat on the sheet. Be sure to use non-stick spray if you don't already have a non-stick pan. You can also add sugar if you want. I wasn't sure if adding sugar (or in my case, Stevia) would make them too sweet, so I A/B tested the batch by sprinkling it over a portion of the apples. The end result? I prefer cinnamon-only since the apple is already so sweet, but my tastebuds could be different than yours.
- Bake at 225-degrees for 1.5 hours (potentially longer if you sliced your apples thick). Yes, I know – 1.5 hours. It's a long time and kind of sucks, but you don't have to wait around and check on them often. Put them in before a movie or a couple of TV shows and the time will fly! The apples will get soft, and then will start to crispen up. That's when they're ready.
Note that I also baked the remainder of the apple slices that had been cut, even in their odd shape. They were stringy but yummy.
If you don't want to bake your apples, you can always use the shaped apples to freshen up other types of dishes like salads (see above). Great idea for a dinner party, just remember to add a little lemon juice to the apples if they won't be eaten immediately so that they don't brown. Enjoy!
And the website had so many more ways including farro salad, baked oatmeal apples, caramel apple pie pudding shots, and even some cocktails like apple cider sangria and spiked cider sorbet as well as 12 more mouth-watering apple recipes. These are definitely worth taking time out to read and then try!

WHOI Postdoctoral Scholar Kevin Kroeger and Guest Student Kayla Halloran install a well in Eastham, Mass., to sample groundwater seeping into a salt pond. Between 5 and 10 percent of the fresh water in the ocean comes from groundwater seeping through submarine sediments. (Tom Kleindinst, WHOI Graphic Services.)
WHOI Associate Scientist Matt Charette (left) and Research Assistant Matt Allen use pumps and instruments deployed on a canoe to collect water samples from Pamet Harbor in Truro, Mass. By measuring the amount of dissolved radon and other chemical tracers—leached naturally from rocks or introduced by septic systems—they can measure the flow of submarine groundwater into the coastal ocean. (Tom Kleindinst, WHOI Graphic Services.)
HYDROLOGIC CYCLE IN COASTAL ZONES—Precipitation either evaporates into the atmosphere, gets taken up by plants, flows into streams, or infiltrates the ground and recharges aquifers. Groundwater flows from inland locations to lakes, streams, or coastal waters. On the seaward side, denser salt water enters sediments and establishes equilibrium with fresh groundwater. Tides and mixing along the freshwater-saltwater interface results in seawater circulation through the sediments.
COOL VIEW OF GROUNDWATER—Infrared images shot by airplane in September 2002 reveal the extent of groundwater seeping into Waquoit Bay, Mass. Bright yellows indicate locations where cool groundwater is emerging from the sandy bottom into the salty, warm waters of the bay. (SenSyTech, Inc. and Ann Mulligan, WHOI.)
GO WITH THE FLOW—WHOI Assistant Scientist Ann Mulligan (foreground), Research Assistant Meagan Gonneea (blue shirt), and visiting student Claudette Spiteri collect data about groundwater discharge into Waquoit Bay, Mass. By measuring water pressure, temperature, and conductivity, they can monitor how fast groundwater is flowing and how the interface between fresh water and salt water changes over time.

Merida: a Stubborn, Exceptional Princess
Okay, say what you want, but I love Disney movies. This love stems largely from my 90s childhood, when enchanted castles existed, genies lived in magic lamps, and lions were kings. I fully believe that despite the controversy and criticism, there is a legitimate reason why these animated films are so dearly loved. As consumers of more media than ever, we aren't stupid drones. We're human beings, drawn to beauty, creativity, and good storytelling (which is why I never understood the popularity of Teletubbies.).
"Legends are lessons. They ring with truth."
This quote from Brave, the latest Pixar-Disney film, captures exactly why Disney movies impact culture so significantly. Legends—ancient stories and fairy tales—hold truth which resonates more powerfully in us than anything we're taught in school. The good stories, the ones we remember and retell from generation to generation, echo a larger, ultimate Story—the Ultimate True Story. They make us believe that good triumphs over evil, that sacrificial love exists, and that there's hope in "happy endings." Legends remind us of the truth of the Gospel.
So when I set out to see Pixar's Brave, I felt both excitement and apprehension. As Pixar's first film to feature a female protagonist, Brave is also decidedly a princess story. Its heroine, Merida, joins a long line of Disney Princesses, who have attracted a lot of criticism for contributing to what might be considered "anti-feminist" ideals. Where could the Gospel possibly be found in that?
A little too feminist?
But Merida, the daughter of Scottish royalty, is not your typical princess. Even some of the "newer" Disney princesses who spout rebellion and independence eventually cave to tradition, falling in love with the handsome prince (or homeless thief, if you're Jasmine, or huge hairy Beast, if you're Belle). But love and marriage simply aren't a concern for Merida, and she can't understand why it's so important for her to find a husband.
The film centers on women who buck the traditions of marriage and patriarchy. Though Queen Elinor retains firm views on her daughter's obligations to a political marriage, she demonstrates strength, poise, and wisdom, effectively running the kingdom without much help from her husband. Indeed, King Fergus and the men of the other clans seem only useful for comic relief. Merida's own stubborn, wild spirit matches her uncontrollable red hair (an impressive visual achievement, for you animation buffs).
Brave certainly brings a refreshing "Pixar-ness" to the princess genre by presenting a flawed, messy heroine, whose journey runs entirely without a hint of romance and whose mother is neither dead nor evil. But the film is not merely a 100-minute long two-dimensional feminist mantra either.
An Exceptional Princess
In Disney's classic fairy tales, princesses fall in love, marry the prince and live in the big shiny castle. Through aggressive marketing we assume that in order to be a princess, you must love pink and have long blonde hair. We're told that princesses find their identity in what they wear, how they look, and the royal hottie at their side.
Merida, in contrast, demonstrates that a princess isn't always perfect, but learns from her mistakes. She loves her family and honors her responsibilities. She willingly sacrifices her life for someone she loves. She finds her voice as a young leader, and uses her influence and gifts to bring together a broken kingdom. Merida isn't so much an "atypical" princess as she is a woman redefining what it means to be a true princess.
A true princess is one who lives in the way of the King. As a daughter of God and a princess in Christ's kingdom, my identity lies in being wholly loved and powerfully sent out to live and act as Christ did. I can shed the misconception that my value is found in my non-blonde beauty or my non-existent husband. Instead, I can offer myself and utilize my gifts as I come alongside what Jesus is doing to build his kingdom.
I'll let you decide if Brave should go down as legend among Pixar's impressive collection of films. But there's no question: it rings with truth.
Laura Li serves as a graphic designer with InterVarsity's twentyonehundred productions. As a self-proclaimed "Disnerd," she's spent the last year watching and reviewing all the Disney animated films, aiming to find echoes of the Gospel in each story. As of June 25th, she's completed 38 reviews and has 13 to go. Read about her adventures at her blog, Disnerd Adventures.

I put some code that happens on a Form OnResize event. But it Seems to only call the event when the resize is bigger. Is there any way to change this?
Say i have
procedure TForm1.Resize(Sender: TObject);
I would like to run repaint every time the form is re-sized (big or small). I guess you could add a check that checks width / height but if your going to do that why even use the event resize? Maybe there is another event besides resize that does both? thanks Glen

If you're ready to buy an eBook reader but need help making sense of all your choices, read on. Electronic books ("eBooks") and devices are everywhere. There are currently hundreds of thousands of eBook titles available, not to mention periodicals, blogs and other online media. Likewise, there are a variety of eBook readers and other devices for reading all of this content. So how do you pick the best reader for you?
Why Choose An eBook Reader over a Tablet?
When it comes to eBooks, you have many choices. eBook readers, tablet PCs (iPad et al.), smartphones, iPods and laptops are eBook capable. However, If an enjoyable and comfortable reading experience is most important to you, you'll definitely want to look first at a dedicated eBook reader. What's the difference? You can read eBooks on all sorts of portable devices, but they lack some key features common to most eBook readers. The biggest differentiator is the display. Virtually all eBook readers use a special electronic paper display technology (EPD) that delivers the same high-contrast appearance of traditional printed books. EPDs trump LCD displays for reading text in a variety of lighting conditions and viewing angles, eye strain over long periods of reading and battery drain. This means eBook readers generally offer a better reading experience and superior battery life.
What to Consider?
● Selection of Titles
Probably the most important consideration when choosing an eBook reader has less to do with the device itself, but the amount of content available for it. Most eBook device manufacturers and vendors mate their products to their own e-bookstores. With hundreds of thousands of titles available, both Amazon and Barnes and Noble currently offer the largest selection of books. Since several of the leading eBook readers use proprietary eBook formats (see important consideration #2 below), you'll want to know how many titles are available/compatible for a particular reader. Some manufacturers also have their own eBook stores available for their readers.
● Proprietary vs. Open Formats
Industry leader Amazon sells its eBooks in a proprietary format that's only readable on its Kindle devices or on a smartphone or tablet PC using Amazon's free app. Titles cannot be transferred to other formats for use on other readers. Further, the Kindle currently does not support the open-source ePUB format that virtually all other readers do. This is an important consideration since a growing number of publishers and content providers use the open ePUB format. Most important to consider is that, just like in the digital music world, if you build a library of content in a proprietary format you could be "locked" into a particular retailer's content.
● The Display
As noted above, eBook readers all use a special electronic ink technology that not only makes content easy to read, but dramatically increase battery life. While similar, there are a few differences among eBook reader displays that are worth considering. First is color. There are both monochrome (black text on gray background) and color displays available. Consider what types of content you'll be viewing the most. Will you be reading mostly text or will you read publications with lots of graphics like textbooks or magazines? For the latter, a color display is probably the best choice since monochrome displays just can't render images the way a high-resolution color screen can. You'll also want to consider whether a single-page view will suffice, or if you prefer to view a page spread. Several eBook readers, when turned lengthwise, will switch to a landscape mode to present a two-page spread. Finally, there are subtle differences in the way each reader renders text, so a side-by-side image quality comparison is probably also a good idea.
● Connectivity
There are two ways to manage the content on your eBook reader: via a PC or wirelessly over the Internet. Most eBook readers offer built-in WiFi and/or 3G wireless modems that use cell phone networks to connect to the Internet and ultimately to the device's online bookstore. The wireless options let you browse books, purchase and immediately download books right to the reader—all without a PC. This is an incredibly useful feature, especially if you require instant gratification or don't want to be tied to a PC. When it comes to 3G connectivity, some readers use Sprint's EV-DO network (limited primarily to the continental U.S.) while others use GSM technology for worldwide compatibility. Consider where you'll use your eBook reader and what networks are available in those locations. Also, determine whether the eBook reader requires a data plan with a wireless carrier to be able to purchase books or whether it's included.
● Navigation
The final major consideration when choosing an eBook reader is how you interact with it. As your library of eBooks, magazines, newspapers and blogs grows, how easy is it to navigate your collection? There are two types of interfaces: touch screen and joystick/scroll wheel. Both have their advantages and it will really come down to what feels more intuitive to you. When shopping for a reader, try navigating through the library, selecting a title, moving around within a book or magazine, etc. What works best for you?
In addition to these five points, there are other considerations worth noting:
● Speed of turning pages
● Size and weight of the device
● Ability to view Web pages
● Text-to-speech capability
● Storage capacity
● Battery life and type
eBook readers offer an exciting new way to read books, magazines, newspapers and blogs. Consider the tips above to find the reader that's right for you.
Happy reading!

Apple is normally a leader in, well, just about every area of technology. However, MSI has introduced a new all-in-one computer that I think is a foreshadowing of features we'll see on upcoming iMacs. Well, at least I hope it's a hint of iMac things to come.
The Wind Top AE2420 3D (http://us.msi.com/WindTop/3DAE2420) is the world's first 3D touch screen all-in-one computer. Unlike 3D TVs, the Wind Top AE2420 3D is designed to address the current disconnect between people's interest in 3D entertainment, and the limited availability of content, as it can bring almost any 2D content -- from home movies to DVD rentals and 3D Blu-Ray -- to life in 3D, according to the folks at MSI.
The Wind Top AE2420 3D is powered by Intel Core i7 processors, just like the high-end iMacs. They sport 24-inch, multi-touch screens and exclusive wireless 3D shutter glasses (with rechargeable batteries...| Read more »

Good old days: The A&W
Restaurant in
Petaling Jaya
was built in the early 1970s. - filepic
THE iconic A&W drive-in restaurant will serve its last mug of rootbeer at the end of the year.
It is supposed to return in 2018, with a fresh and new look, but it will not be quite the same (StarMetro, Aug 1).
The last free-standing cinema in Penang, the Odeon, meanwhile made its final curtain call on July 31, and realistically speaking, few will miss its demise (StarMetro, Aug 2).
These two landmarks have one thing in common, they were
standalone outlets, with a long history behind them.
The A&W eatery in Petaling Jaya New Town was where I courted my wife.
Each time we went out for dinner, we would head to the place for desserts.
A mug of rootbeer and maybe a scoop of ice cream were all we needed to while those hours away.
There was no WiFi then, and no mobile devices.
Every young man on a date only had eyes on his girlfriend.
I wonder if any marriage proposal was ever made at this A&W outlet.
Through the years, even after we got married, this place was a regular family haunt.
We never did any of the boys' birthday parties there, but we certainly got invited to quite a number of parties of friends, and the highlight would be when the big brown A&W Bear came trooping in.
The Odeon was special to me because in my early years as a reporter in the now defunct National Echo, the cinema was a walking distance away.
Going to the cinema in those days was a real experience because if there was a hit movie, you would have to move from one cinema to another to try to get a ticket.
Fortunately, in the George Town zone, there were a number of cinemas quite near to one another at that time.
I remember the day when I did not have much to do at work.
Our editors did not encourage us to be in the office, and even if there were no assignments, we were expected to wonder around the streets and get a story on our own.
That day, when I passed the Odeon, the movie that was on was The Champ.
I was in time for the 1pm show and I reckoned my bosses would not miss me terribly much if I were to go back after the show at 3pm.
It was just a slightly longer lunch break than usual.
In those days, the bosses could not really track where you were.
I suppose everything was based on the honour system.
So I sheepishly bought myself a ticket and watched Jon Voight play the role of an aging boxer with his son played by Ricky Schroeder.
I cried buckets.
It was such a tearjerker, this movie.
In the annals of moviemaking, this version of The Champ that was released in 1979 is considered a classic.
Who can forget the scene when Shroeder, who plays the role of TJ, saw his father die after a gruelling match in the ring.
"Champ, wake up! Wake up!" the little boy screams.
The performance was so moving it earned the young actor a Golden Globe award.
It was only a few years ago that I managed to order the movie on DVD from Amazon.
And it remains one of my favourite movies which I would watch over and over again each time I need a good cry.
I was a bachelor boy at that time and I remember that the cinema was practically empty because it was the 1pm show on a working day.
These two articles published in StarMetro, one day after the other, certainly put me into a contemplative mood.
It is a reminder that in our ever-busy world, we can perhaps still learn to slow down, so that we can truly soak in the experiences that will stay with us for a much longer time.

|Dr. Antoinette J. Piaggio,
Research Molecular Biologist
Dr Antoinette J. Piaggio is employed by the USDA APHIS Wildlife Services, National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) in Fort Collins, CO. Her research studies focus on developing genetic approaches to inform wildlife damage management efforts. Population-level investigations can determine geographical boundaries of populations, gene flow between populations (population connectivity), and genetic diversity within populations. Phylogenetic studies can test hypotheses of taxonomic definitions and evolutionary relationships. Research data gathered in any of these areas can enhance effectiveness of management efforts. Because wildlife genetics data can elucidate population dynamics in host populations, they also may be useful in the management of wildlife diseases.
Through her work, continuing education, and professional contacts, Dr. Piaggio stays current with the latest developments in her field, ensuring that the NWRC wildlife genetics lab will always be a leader in the use of exciting, cutting-edge tools and techniques and the application of robust scientific methods for the investigation of wildlife-human conflicts. Lab results will allow wildlife managers not only to use the best genetic tools available but also to maintain genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of the wildlife species under investigation.
