Editor's Note: The following column by Chuck Woodbury first appeared on www.rvtravel.com. Go there to see two short videos about an RVer and his pasttime.
David Bott sure seems like one happy guy. He travels in a 43-foot Tour Master motorcoach with his wife Brenda (a RVtravel subscriber), four friendly cats, a wall-mounted stuffed toy moose named Earl, and a flying robot that so far remains nameless. I met David and Brenda at the Family Motor Coach Association's just-concluded rally in Indianapolis.
David is an amazing guy. He suffered a stroke five years ago at 40. At the time he owned and operated several popular online forums. If anything led to the stroke, says Brenda, it was the stress. Luckily for David, the couple lived five minutes from a hospital; David received immediate care and recovered quickly. After the stroke, they decided life was too short not to enjoy it fully. Before long, they hit the road in their motorhome. David still operates several online forums (he sold one), but he and Brenda say they pretty much run themselves.
LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, David acquired a 4.5-pound, custom made "quadcopter." It's the coolest device I can recall since my Marx electric train set when I was 5. It flies up and down, lands like a Mars Rover (well, sorta like one), and can zoom across the sky for up to 10 minutes at 45 miles per hour, up to 400 feet high (FAA legal limit). At the FMCA rally, David snapped aerial photos and recorded videos of the sea of motorhomes gathered at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The police showed up early on to investigate, wondering what David and his UFO were up to. They left smiling.
Wearing a pair of special goggles, David can see just what the X650 Quadcopter sees with its tiny GoPro camera. It can venture a half mile away. The device is controlled by a sophisticated computer. It's not crash-proof, but it is crash resistant. For example, if it loses a signal from David's hand controller, it will hover where it is, wait a few seconds and then raise up a bit to reestablish a connection. If unsuccessful, using GPS, it will return and land where it took off.
David and Brenda's goal is to travel North America in the motorhome and shoot aerial photos and videos as they go. Coming soon: Alaska.
Because of federal regulations, David can't fly his small aircraft for commercial purposes (such as selling aerial photographs and video). But what he can do is post them to his blog at www.OutsideOurBubble.com. I will let you know about some of his most interesting ones when he posts them. Those from Alaska should be stunning!

The recently-retired legend wasn't always Fat Ronaldo. Way back in 1999, he was simply struggling-with-his-weight Ronaldo, allegedly taking diet pills that forced him to wear adult diapers during games.
According to Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Brazil coach during the 1999 Copa America, Ronaldo was having issues staying in shape, and turned to powerful pills to keep hie weight under control. Much like the Hollywood starlets of today, he went with Xenical, with the side effect of steatorrhea. (For those wondering, that's loose, oily stool that can just slip out of you with no warning. Aren't you glad you wondered?)
Luxemburgo says the only logical answer was to wear adult undergarments, which embarrassed Ronaldo. I can see that.

I was perusing Scarleteen today and I came across this little bit from Hugo Schwyzer (who as many of you know, I do not always agree with, or even like, but hey) that I liked. It's discussing sexual ethics in the context of newfound Christian faith, which is not in any way relevant to me, but I feel it answers very well why people's objections to BDSM and even to D/s don't work for me:
Let me suggest, Christine, that God cares more about the content of our sexuality than he does about its form. Traditional Christian sexual ethics are often discussed in the context of what Christians can and can't do. Some Christians will often say things like "the only form of genital contact sanctioned by God is that which happens in a marriage between one husband and one wife." The implication is clear: if you get the "form" (heterosexual marriage) right, then the sex that follows is okay. If you haven't got the form right, then you've "fallen short of the mark."
For example, it ignores entirely the great likelihood that coercion, disrespect, and force can take place within marriage. The Churches did not start condemning marital rape — or even acknowledging that such a concept was possible — until the second half of the twentieth century. Is a situation in which a husband demands sex from his wife against her will somehow more in keeping with the spirit of Christ than a situation in which two unmarried people make love with mutual enthusiasm? If you're a stickler for "form-based ethics", you bet. For the most traditional of theologians, marital rape is less of a serious sin than homosexuality or pre-marital sex, because form matters more than content.
"Content" based sexual ethics are concerned with the way in which people, in the process of being sexual, value themselves and their partners. Content-based ethics are deeply concerned with mutuality, with pleasure, and with the willingness of each partner to take responsibility for the physical, spiritual, and emotional consequences of what is done. Form-based ethics teach the Christian to ask the question "Am I allowed to do this?" Content-based ethics teach the Christian to ask "Am I truly loving — in every sense of the word — the person or persons with whom I am doing this, including myself?"
This is what I can't parse about "BDSM is wrong," even when it's phrased as "Hierarchy is maladaptive for humans and limiting and restrictive."
[EDIT: The person who made the comment linked there has mentioned that she did not use the words I'm using to characterize her position. She says below that she meant that BDSM is wrong for her personally, and that I misrepresented her views on hierarchy as well. About them, she said the following, c&ped verbatim from the comment linked above: "I can't be of help as to whether something is "bad." That's not an idiom I work within or classify things by. I simply know for myself, and for the world I envision as better than what I see we've got now, I think, at a minimum, that less hierarchy would be really helpful." I mention in the comments that I still think there's a value judgment there, but I agree with her that it's best that people interpret her own words and not mine here.]That's form. That's "The sex (or "the relationship" in the case of outside-the-bedroom D/s) you want needs to not have these features that look like this in order to not be this, which I find maladaptive." It follows that up with an explanation of where that maladaptiveness comes from, yeah -- but so do explanations of why homosexuality is wrong in conservative Christian moralities, sometimes in great detail. There's reasons given for "bad form." They're bad, but they're there.
It's funny how people who usually seem to go with the content-based ("of course it's okay that I'm gay, silly!") slip into the form-based ("he wears a collar [usually not, it's too big for his neck] and called you Master once being cute? OH MY GOD!") when things are outside their comfort zone.
Saying content matters instead implies that all the answers to "form" questions like "is BDSM compatible with feminism/okay for Christians/good for Buddhists/acceptable for snails?" (okay, that last is me giggling over "love darts") will not be quite right, because they start with the wrong question: "what are you doing?" or "what are you mimicking?" rather than "how are you doing this?"

Yeah, it's based on the upcoming movie sequel, but the design is close enough to the original that I'm going to view this as an all-purpose figure. And what a figure it is.
Due from Hot Toys in Q2 2013, the 1/6 scale figure has heaps of weapons, five pairs of interchangable hands and a fancy base.
No word on price, but if it's anything like Hot Toys' other pieces, you can expect to pay between $US180-$US250 from your comic store/importer of choice.

The parish has remained rather small in population as in 1873 it listed only 367 inhabitants. Whitmore Hall, is still standing today and was held by the Whitmore family until the 16th century when Alice Boghay, a Whitmore heiress married Edward Mainwaring of Biddulph. From then on, it passed to the Cavenagh-Mainwaring family who still hold the hall as a private residence today. It is important to now note the younger Shropshire branch of the family.
"This is a younger branch of an ancient family formerly seated at Whittimere or Whitmore, in the parish of Claverley, where it is traced to the reign of Henry III. " [3]CITATION[CLOSE]

Subscribe To SteamOS Now Supports AMD GPUs Updates
I've already subscribed
The free operating system from Valve is constantly picking up Steam, building toward something grand and majestic. The latest bit of news should prove to be very interesting to a great deal of people, especially for those eager gamers out there looking to get away from the tyranny that is Windows.
The news comes courtesy of Ars Technica, where they report that they received an e-mail from AMD, with the article stating that...
"An e-mail from an AMD representative indicated that SteamOS was running Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.9 drivers and that a standalone driver package would soon be available from AMD's support site."
Now this is huge news because it now means that the SteamOS will provide support for the other half of the major player in the GPU sector. The free operating system from Valve already supports Nvidia and in addition to adding AMD to group they also included the integrated support from Intel GPU chips. This means those people rocking laptops and PCs equivalent to console peasants will still be able to use the SteamOS to play the latest and greatest games, even though they'll probably be on settings equivalent to the Xbox 720p at sub-30fps.
No matter how you cut the custard, this is great news for Valve and those interested in adopting the SteamOS. The operating system is still in its beta testing phase but it's being iterated at a rather quick rate. I imagine Valve is moving along at a rather quick pace because market share of Windows 8 is being adopted a lot faster than some people may have originally thought, and it will make it harder for Valve to usurp share and market valuation away from Microsoft if they wait too long.
Adding AMD so early after the beta of the OS has gone live also means that perhaps Valve's system will be eligible for Mantle support. For those that don't know, Mantle is designed as a low-level API, pretty much the PC equivalent of "metal access" that developers are capable of manipulating and optimizing on consoles.
Combining the free operating system that's specifically designed to make the most use of your hardware for gaming purposes with OEMs providing cases and setups also designed just for gaming, will easily help Valve sell the Steam Machines to gamers either looking to buy a new gaming rig but don't know where to start, or casual enthusiasts looking to dip their toe in the clouds of the Glorious PC Master Race without having to look through endless forum threads to find out what works and what doesn't.
Speaking of the Steam Machines... more than a dozen OEMs have come forward to reveal specs and screenshots of their Steam Machine(s). This means that sometime in early 2014 you'll be able to get your very own machine that will come with the SteamOS and you'll be able to see for yourself just what all the fuss is about when it comes to the PC elitists talking about their gaming rigs like some people talk about their smart and cute and brainy kids (even when they aren't).
You can grab the SteamOS right now from the official website. Be warned: it's still in beta. If you need help installing the OS feel free to check out our walkthrough for the SteamOS right here.

The Headgardener Salon
The Headgardener Salon is an established Salon in a small summer resort town in Canada. The salon is run by a british woman who clearly wants to show her patriotism.
A wide demographic - generally women, 18-65 who are looking for quality and value in top quality hair care. Average customer is caucasian, makes a decent living or is in retirement (the town has a high population of retirees). While in a summer / lake resort town, the salon does not really cater to a tourist market.
The logo should be a somewhat literal interpretation of "The Headgardener". My client is looking for a tree in the shape of a head (see attached reference image), with scissors giving the hair a trim. The scissors should be overlayed with the British union jack flag. I picture the scissors out to the left top of the photo.
Text in a curve around the top of the logo should be "The Headgardener Salon" in an appropriate font.
Need to end up with a vector (EPS or Corel 14) file to output on various items such as signage, business cards, etc.

SALT specializes in well-crafted, simple surfboards. Made for the New York City surfer.
SALT is the product of a collaboration between two surfers, launched in 2011. Co-founders Tyler Wolff and Nabil Samadani, come from very different surfing backgrounds outside of New York. Hailing from Hawaii and California, respectively, both were stoked to discover a thriving surf scene in New York City.
The two partnered up with Mauricio Avila, an established shaper based in California, and began working on a line of surfboards to compliment the New York City surfer, in hopes of delivering quality, progressively-shaped boards, at affordable prices. Currently, Tyler and Nabil are enjoying being poor New Yorkers, always trying to surf more and work less.

When I first permanently moved here nearly six years ago, I taught an adult education course entitled "Understanding Health Care in the 21st Century." It was well attended and I taught it for several semesters. It was not about the politics of health care, but about government, insurance, doctors and providers and certainly hospitals.
The most often asked questions by attendees were "what about the hospitals down here. Some say they're good and others say they're terrible. Some say the people here go to Savannah or even to the University Hospital in Charleston."
Well now I am more aware of our Beaufort County hospitals. I've talked with lots of people who have been patients in each of them. I've heard their concerns and it is time to discuss the issues. Although most of my consulting was with medical practices, over the years I worked with many hospitals, large and small, regarding their ambulatory care areas such as ERs, out-patient clinics and surgical centers.
To try to understand the present and future of the hospitals in the Bluffton area, I went to the highest sources I could - Mark O'Neil, president of Hilton Head Regional Healthcare Hospitals, including Hilton Head and Coastal Carolina and Rick Toomey, president and CEO of Beaufort Memorial Hospital. The former is a 90-plus bed institution; the latter about double that size. I asked them both very similar questions, both answered them all very candidly and both gave me all the time I needed so as to allow me as much transparency as possible considering both knew my lengthy background in the field. I hope to meet soon with the CEO of Savannah's St. Joseph's/Candler Hospital.
I had planned to tell you these administrators' answers to my very difficult and often controversial questions, one by one. Boring and unnecessary. So I've combined all they told me into this one column.
Both come from extensive backgrounds in hospital administration and from all facets of hospital governing. As you can see by their shortened CV's "they've been there and done that."
Here were my concerns:
No. 1: Is there a difference between a for-profit hospital (HHH and Coastal) owned by Tenet (a large health care corporation traded on a public stock exchange) and a not-for-profit hospital (Beaufort) whose board of directors are county appointed.
O'Neil said there is little if any difference in hospital operations. All hospitals, he said, want to be profitable no matter how they are financially set up. Tenet, he points out, pays no dividends and is all about quality of care, safety, colleague satisfaction, compliance to the huge number of regulations, etc.
Toomey's hospital is chartered by the state and as I previously stated answers to a board of directors locally, who apparently have the ultimate say. One can only draw their own conclusions if one is better that the other, but Toomey's viewpoint of what is really important is significantly similar to O'Neil's as stated above. Both men's statements would be expected.
My viewpoint is mixed. Coming from the northern part of America, I saw very few for-profit hospitals. They are mainly in the South and West. There are questions regarding big public corporations owning hospitals, especially as to allegiance - patient, employee or stockholder. Can Hilton Head spend money and make decisions in the same way as a locally run hospital? Who knows? But I do agree the average patient would not know the difference on a day-to-day basis. Patients don't care. They want good service, get well fast and get the heck out of there. Either of these hospitals could give patients something to remember, good or bad.
No. 2: What about reputation and transparency? Let's see what my friend Webster has to say about these words: Reputation - "overall quality or character as seen or judged by people in general." That is a perfect definition.
Knowing now the genuine concern both CEO's expressed about the reputation of each of their hospitals, I will tell you about an experience I had. I was sitting in my favorite coffee shop when one gentleman, who I knew, told me he was afraid of Hilton Head Hospital because he heard they had a bad reputation. Across the way, a man I did not know, overheard our conversation. He told us he literally had a recent "brush with death" and that the Hilton Head Hospital ER and the cardiac physicians saved his life.
The same situation occurred with Beaufort. One person told me he wouldn't go to any Beaufort County Hospital, only to Savannah for care. Another said Savannah in no better and that he would only go to the University Hospital in Charleston. I received a call from a patient who was still awaiting results from his GI workup in Charleston after two weeks. rior to that he was told his GI test results by his doctor at a local hospital, as soon as he was fully awake.
Well should you make the trip to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville or the Cleveland Clinic or go to New York or Boston for the big medical centers? My point is they are great places, but all of them have had some discontented patients. It's part of all health care; for that matter it's part of life. Unfortunately it is only when you are a patient that you will be able to truly judge a hospital, not only regarding care and service, but costs as well.
Both men acknowledged financial issues that are not transparent and may never be. There are several definitions of transparent, but the pertinent one is "characterized by visibility or accessibility of information especially concerning business practices, free from pretence or deceit." Let's say you are in any one of these local hospitals' ER for some acute issue that is resolved. You are released within a relatively short time and then, perhaps weeks later, you get a bill for several hundred dollars. You go crazy. You are incredibly upset. You don't have the money. And although you received good care from the hospital, I'll predict you are not going to be a "happy camper" and you will surely let others know what happened. O'Neil and Toomey understand all this. That is why both men agree it is so important for everyone to have health care insurance so you don't have to pay for someone else's emergency room care. And that's what happening today everywhere in our country.
My view is the entire financial operations of hospitals have been screwed up for years. There are no standards for pricing. The treatment for the same medical problem can cost entirely different North, South, East or West; small hospital or education based medical center. There is nothing transparent about those financial numbers and probably there will never be.
What is important, and I know both O'Neil and Toomey agree, is you must tell them, you must let them know, you must complain if you are unhappy about anything negative happening to you or a loved one in their hospitals. I don't know if they can fix the problem, but I do know they can't do a thing if they don't know what it is.
I think they will try to help. Why? Because the competition in Beaufort County and especially Bluffton is big time. Both acknowledge it, both agree with me it is as tough as it gets. Most important, both realize Bluffton is the future - no question. Predictions of growth here are astronomical. Both men are competing for good providers, expanding medical space, costly construction of facilities, etc. Both hospitals are planning new buildings, new campuses from Buckwalter to just west of S.C. 170 on U.S. 278. My question has always been do we really need more medical offices and expensive diagnostic machines? Both said they need to consolidate present medical space leases and services. It is a war, but both have to face it, like it or not. It will be going on for a long time, probably past both men's retirements.
My view and the facts show that hospitals are taking over all aspects of medicine and I'll never believe that's healthy. Private medicine as we have known it, is disappearing. I asked each about their views on hospitalists, concierge doctors, growth of NP's and PA's in South Carolina. What could they say except "that's the way it is Mike and most likely that's the way it's going to be."
So what did I gain from interviewing these administrators. First, I liked them; I believed they want the best for their institutions and for the patients, even the stockholders. They can't do a thing about the difficulties of our health care times. They'd like to, but they can't.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of difficult issues with these hospitals as there are in most institutions. You have to be on guard with constant safety issues, the critical importance of infection control, the importance of recruiting and hiring not only providers, but anyone who takes care of patients, day in and day out, from the nurses, to the dietary folks, to the sweethearts who clean the rooms. Skilled positions are difficult to fill here because there are so few people to choose from in an area like ours. And I hope both hospitals get up to par as soon as possible with their electronic medical records. In this day and age, this is an absolute necessity and I think both hospitals have a way to go. It is an incredibly costly and stress producing endeavor, but it has to be implemented with no excuses.
I've worked in health care in every state in the United States, in all the provinces of Canada, in all the countries of Great Britain and in Mexico. If you get sick here or there or anywhere, you can only pray you get the best care possible and recover.
So there are lots of questions that pertain to all hospitals. For instance, is a one-payer system better? Is government too pervasive and dominant? Are insurance and pharmaceutical companies causing many of the problems? Should politicians stay out of our health care world? The answers vary from one person to another. But for most of us all we care about is if we get sick "get me well, wherever I am."
Consequently I think we are in pretty good shape here with our local hospitals. The local doctor and provider situation, however, is another story. I'm tackling this major issue in future columns.

King of Prussia, PA — 09/25/2013
CSL Biotherapies Inc. announced today it has finalized shipment of 11 million doses of AFLURIA®, its seasonal influenza vaccine for the 2013-2014 season. Completion of the 2013-14 shipping campaign will ensure that healthcare providers using AFLURIA® are able to conduct their immunization programs as planned.
"CSL Biotherapies is committed to supporting the needs of healthcare professionals in the United States," said Dr. Marie Mazur, Head of Worldwide Commercial Operations, Influenza. "Our early and rapid delivery of AFLURIA® for the 2013-14 season attests to this commitment, and, most importantly, helps to ensure that influenza vaccine providers have a high quality influenza vaccine to use in combatting the flu in their communities, a very serious public health concern."
CSL Biotherapies AFLURIA ® shipments comprise multi-dose and pre-filled syringe presentations of seasonal influenza vaccine. Both presentations were delivered either at or ahead of the projected delivery dates provided to customers.
About AFLURIA AFLURIA is an inactivated influenza vaccine indicated for active immunization against influenza disease caused by influenza virus subtypes A and type B present in the vaccine. AFLURIA is approved for use in persons 5 years of age and older.
Select Safety Information AFLURIA is contraindicated in individuals with known severe allergic reactions (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of the vaccine including egg protein, or to a previous dose of any influenza vaccine.
Administration of CSL's 2010 Southern Hemisphere influenza vaccine was associated with postmarketing reports of increased rates of fever and febrile seizures in children predominantly below the age of 5 years as compared to previous years; these increased rates were confirmed by postmarketing studies. Febrile events were also observed in children 5 to less than 9 years of age.
If Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) has occurred within 6 weeks of previous influenza vaccination, the decision to give AFLURIA should be based on careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks.
If AFLURIA is administered to immunocompromised persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, the immune response may be diminished. AFLURIA should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. AFLURIA has not been evaluated in nursing mothers. It is not known whether AFLURIA is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when AFLURIA is administered to a nursing woman.
Antibody responses in persons 65 years of age and older were lower after administration of AFLURIA as compared to younger adult subjects. In children 5 through 17 years of age, the most common injection-site reactions observed in clinical studies with AFLURIA were pain, redness, and swelling. The most common systemic adverse events were headache, myalgia, malaise, and fever. In adults 18 through 64 years of age, the most common injection-site adverse reactions observed in clinical studies with AFLURIA were tenderness and pain. The most common systemic adverse reactions observed were headache, malaise, and muscle aches.
In adults 65 years of age and older, the most common injection-site adverse reactions observed in clinical studies with AFLURIA were tenderness and pain. Vaccination with AFLURIA may not protect all individuals. Before administering AFLURIA® (Influenza Vaccine), please read the Prescribing Information.
About CSL Biotherapies, Inc. CSL Biotherapies Inc., located in King of Prussia, PA, is the U.S. headquarters of bioCSL. Parent company CSL Limited has manufactured influenza vaccine in its Melbourne, Australia facility since 1968. CSL Limited has made a $60 million (U.S.D.) investment in plant and equipment to double capacity at its Melbourne facility, making it one of the largest vaccine manufacturing facilities in the world.

It's the world's most immersive gaming experience ever, and it's only possible on the PlayStation 3 system.
The 320 GB PlayStation 3 System
What's Under the Hood
As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 320 GB system features an IBM "Cell" processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 320 GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 320 GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed, 320 GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from the Internet. Unlike some other models of PlayStation 3, the 320 GB system does not offer backwards compatibility to PlayStation 2 games.
Blu-ray, PlayStation Network Downloads and Beyond
PlayStation 3 utilizes the Blu-ray disc media format, which gives you the best high-definition viewing experience on your television, by way of the format's ability to hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This tremendous capacity, combined with the awesome power of the system's processor and graphics card, promises an endless stream of mind-blowing games, and other multimedia content. This doesn't mean though that the PS3 is limited to Blu-ray discs. It also supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software includes BD Live support that allows you to play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE), meaning you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format to obtain additional features. And of course PS3 owners also receive free access to the PlayStation Network (PSN), where through the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home, they can download games, game demos, movies, and other content, as well as chat with friends, play mini-games, compete in tournaments and explore dedicated game spaces.
A Sensational Controller
The DualShock 3 wireless controller included in the PlayStation Move 320 GB console bundle provides the most intuitive game play experience, with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive Sixaxis motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user's body. DualShock 3 utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller's detachable USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller when connected to the PlayStation 3. By integrating all of these features into the popular PlayStation controller design, the DualShock 3 further enhances the advanced gameplay experience only available on the PlayStation 3 system.
Synch with Your Other Sony HDMI Devices
The PlayStation 3 320 GB system features HDMI + Bravia Synch functionality. Bravia Synch allows connectivity between Sony HDMI products, without having to utilize multiple remote controls. This means that with the push of one button users can control compliant Sony devices connected to your PS3 via HDMI cable.
The PlayStation Move System
The PlayStation 3 Move console bundle includes the building blocks of the PlayStation Move motion-controlled gaming system, the Move motion controller and PlayStation Eye Camera. Equipped with a three axis gyroscope, a three axis accelerometer and terrestrial magnetic field sensor, during gameplay the PlayStation Move motion controller tracks the precise movements and the angle of the controller, while the PlayStation Eye camera, aimed at the player, allows the PS3 system to detect the absolute position of the controller in 3D space. Together this facilitates the highly sensitive movement tracking and intuitive gameplay that projects the user on-screen and provides realistic and responsive movement and actions in-game. The PlayStation Move motion controller also features the familiar PlayStation controller button orientation, for seamless play from the very first use.
Sports Champions
Sports Champions is an action-sports game for PlayStation 3 that combines the strengths of the PlayStation Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye peripheral to provide gamers with true 1:1 motion controlled sports related gaming action. Designed with both casual and hard-core players in mind, Sports Champions features six events ranging from table tennis, to gladiatorial combat, and contains three varied gameplay modes and 10 playable characters to assume as the player and up to three friends battle for the glory of capturing the in-game Champions Cup. Additional features include the ability to utilize two Move controllers simultaneously in events, 720p video output, PlayStation Network support and more.

Thomas Jones* NEW YORK CITY ANALYSIS OF BOOKKEEPING AS A BRANCH OF GENERAL EDUCATION (1842) Abstract: These thoughts of an early American accounting author reflect the frus-trations encountered in attempting to establish the process of teaching account keeping within the general scheme of education. This item by Jones first appeared in 1842 as an article in a New York business periodical. It represents one of the first and most complete examples of ante-bellum American accounting thought as depicted in the financial press of that era. There is perhaps no department of commercial education that claims so urgently the serious attention of the mercantile community as that of bookkeeping. We enter upon the subject with a full knowledge of the obstinate prejudice that has hitherto withstood all efforts towards promoting a general system of school instruction in the arrangement of accounts. Wherever the subject has been advanced, we have, until within a short period, uniformly heard the one reply, "Bookkeeping can only be acquired by practice; you may teach a little theory, but the practice is so different, that we have more trouble with a beginner, who has been taught in school, than with one who has never studied it." Are we then to adopt the con-clusions to which these premises must inevitably drive us? Of the number of clerks employed in business, perhaps about one in ten has opportunity of practice; are we to conclude that the other nine tenths have no remedy for ignorance with regard to a subject which so deeply concerns their interests? Are that portion who are to be-come merchants to despair of attaining the necessary knowledge of •Thomas Jones (1804-1889) was a pioneer American accounting teacher and text writer. He has been noted for being an early advocate of the need to view the accounting process as directed toward the production of financial reports — an emphasis which has caused him to be identified as the first "modern" American accounting writer. This article appeared in Hunt's Merchant's Magazine, (December, 1842, pp. 513-526) a monthly business periodical published in New York City. It is one of the earliest known accounting articles found in American business literature. For a study of Jones' works see "The Contributions of Thomas Jones and Benjamin Franklin Foster" by H. P. Hughes, in the Bicentennial Edition of Collected Papers, American Accounting Association Southeast-Regional Group, 1976, pp. 93-98.

So, very mysterious...
(a) why do you want undyed Wollmeise and
(b) what are you intending to make with the Noro?
- 03 October, 2010
- bells said...
oh wow. So much good stuff. I've been admiring the use of undyed wollmeise recently on my rav travels. I'm intrigued!
New project! Yay!
And 8ply patonyle!! I must have my head under a rock - I didn't know there was such a thing!
- 03 October, 2010
- Michelle said...
I never think of Wollmeise as being a stash acquisition, but rather an Investment in my Future Growth as a Crocheter.
Hope you enjoy using the Noro Silk Garden Sock. I used the plain old regular Noro sock and had a bugger of a time with it ... but the results were so pretty it was totally worth it in the end!
- 03 October, 2010
- 2paw said...
Please knit the 8ply Patonyle and tell us what it is like???
- 03 October, 2010
- MadMad said...
Pretty! But now I'm left so curious! What are you making?! I have a love/hate relationship with Noro. Currently I'm in the middle of Knitty's Lizard Ridge Afghan, and it's so magical you can't help but love it, even with all the knots and the color changes and the hidden ugly, seemingly non-matching colors hidden in the depths of each ball...
- 03 October, 2010
- Alwen said...
I admire the Noro, but I've somehow managed to avoid adding it to my stash - so far!
- 04 October, 2010
- Momo4ever.Com said...
I've never had any Wollmeise yarn before and I know on Ravelry, lots of people go crazy over them!!!! How are they like?
Noro yarns are beautiful colour wise, but texture wise, I don't quite like the feel :(
- 04 October, 2010
- Ann said...
Can't wait to see you dye up the Wollmeise. I don't count my stash & I think Sept was a bad month of many acquisitions.
- 04 October, 2010
- Caffeine Girl said...
I still haven't seen Wollmeise in person. I must work on that!
I always admire you for being honest with us and yourself about the yarn supply!
- 04 October, 2010
some very nice additions there! so intrigued to see what you do with that wollmeise!
- 05 October, 2010
- Roxie said...
Christmas is coming. You NEED to bulk up your stash!
- 06 October, 2010
- michele said...
can't wait to see what you make with the Noro!

Just last year Queen Elizabeth raised some eyebrows while visiting Dublin by turning down a pint of Guinness at the St James' Gate but it seems she'll accept poitín. A rare photo shows Princess Elizabeth in 1946 examining a poitín still created by trainee policemen.
This photo, published by the BBC, shows a young Princess Elizabeth standing by a poitín still.
The Royal Highness was being treated to a strange spectacle by a group of young Irish police recruits. The Princess was there to inspect the passing out parade and observe the men in the gym. The police decided to make her visit a little different by recreating an illegal poitin still and dressing the part.
The most shocking part of the day came when one of the recruits offered the 19-year-old Princess a bottle of the illegal liquor.
Charles Friel, the son of the sergeant instructor present on the day, remembers hearing stories about the incident.
He told the BBC "My father and the recruits had all dressed up in very old clothes and looked like vagabonds and rough guys distilling this poitín…For years afterwards he kept the jumper that was full of holes and wore it while he was gardening. My mother used to give off to him about this and he'd say: 'Well, if it was good enough for the Princess, it is good enough for me to garden in."
The matter of the Princess receiving poitin didn't end there. It just so happed that a young man in the crowd was Ian Paisley, who went on to raise the matter in Stormont.
Friel said "All sorts of folk got rockets: Why did this happen, how did it happen, why did they distill illicit poitín and why was the Princess embarrassed into being offered some…The row went on for quite a while."
During her 1946 visit she went on to met with World War I veterans and boarded the HMS Superb in Belfast.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Investors are still fighting the tape, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Tuesday, but that's not stopping just about every sector from housing and health care to retail and the rails from rallying and rallying big. Perhaps more interesting than the market rally is what's going on behind the scenes, he said -- the urge to merge has kicked into high gear. Cramer said while stocks are up big from their 2008 lows, they are still far cheaper than they were in 2007, which is making them more and more attractive to companies looking to grow on the cheap. He said news that OfficeMax ( OMX) and Office Depot ( ODP - Get Report) are looking to merge shouldn't come as a surprise, as that's exactly what's needed to compete with Staples ( SPLS) and Costco ( COST - Get Report). Then there's Heinz ( HNZ), a company that's been increasing earnings and expanding internationally for years. Yet, the analysts remained negative on the stock, said Cramer, which makes it no surprise that Warren Buffett became interested in buying the company. Dell ( DELL) is no different, said Cramer, nor is Virgin Media ( VMED), or Copano Energy ( CPNO) or Acme Packet ( APKT). In all of these cases, companies and their CEOs are betting big that weakness in the present will grow into big profits in the future. Confidence has returned to the markets, Cramer concluded, so rather than fighting the tide, why not jump in and join them?

Define a Teacher's Classroom Projection Needs
Define your classroom projection needs before purchasing projection equipment by asking the question, "What do you want to project and why?" Projector types and abilities vary, so focusing on your needs will help you identify the projector system that will work best in your classroom.
Reasons for considering classroom projection equipment
As you consider what you might want to project in a classroom, consider some of these typical responses:
I'm teaching content that I want my students to remember so I want them to copy it from the board.
I want to have a way of facing and talking with the class while material is presented on the board.
I want to review some text with the class so we need to look at it together.
I want students to discuss and critique text while I annotate it.
I want to show images and/or video during class.
We need to browse and display the Internet together as a class.
I want to display important information during class and record it for review later.
I want to prepare and/or record materials ahead of class and then present it during class.
Determining your objectives will help decide what projection, hardware, and software you need. Often, way too many schools rush out and invest heavily in expensive interactive whiteboard systems before really asking these basic questions and determining whether the whiteboards met their objectives. So take the time to truly define your needs.
Available classroom projection options for teacher's
So, as a teacher, you've decided that you definitely need some form of projection in your classroom. Your options include the following:
A portable projector that's rolled into a room on a cart: It's inexpensive because one projector can service multiple rooms; however, it's cumbersome, not always available when you need it, and time-consuming to locate and start up. Sharing a cart isn't ideal, but if that's what your budget allows, you can make it work.
Ceiling-mounted projectors: They can be controlled by remote and usually sit somewhere toward the front and center of the ceiling. The main problem with ceiling-mounted projectors is that you must make sure you are out of the projected area when you're at the front of the class.
Short throw projectors: These are mounted right on top of the board that they project upon. They are a little more expensive than regular projectors, but you don't have the concern of blocking the projection and casting a shadow.
HDTV sets: Becoming popular options, HDTV sets are easily cabled to a computer, and you can connect to them wirelessly with an iPad. The cost has come down and will continue to fall, and they tend to be more durable than projectors. They also don't have any bulbs to replace.
You do need to be careful to purchase an HDTV that is large enough for the room in which it will be used. Also, check it out from the sides and corners of the room, especially if students need to read from it, because those areas tend to have the worst vantage points.
Examine all your options and consult with an expert. Whether you just want to show the occasional video or really want a full-blown, expensive interactive whiteboard, you need to find projection that works well in your physical space and fits cozily into your budget.
Presenting on the board doesn't mean you have to be anchored to the front of the room. With the help of a relatively inexpensive Apple TV (around $100 and the size of a hockey puck), an HDMI cable, and possibly a cheap converter if the projector doesn't have an HDMI interface, teachers can roam around the class and wirelessly mirror their iPad displays at the front of the room.
The coolest part about iPad mirroring is that you can have students project their own iPads to the AppleTV as well. That's a real bonus for collaborative activities and when you want students to share their work with the rest of the class. Consult the Apple website for more information about Apple TV.

Nanny charged after baby dies of massive head trauma
Aisling McCarthy Brady, of Quincy, held on $500K bail
A Quincy nanny has been held on high bail Tuesday after answering to charges of assault and battery on a baby girl who later died.
Aisling McCarthy Brady, 34, of Quincy, was ordered held on $500,000 bail at her arraignment in Cambridge District Court. Since the baby died, charges are expected to be upgraded to homicide.
Cambridge police were called to a home on Ash Street on Jan. 14 for an unresponsive child, the Middlesex County District Attorney's office said.
The baby girl, identified as Rehma Sabir in court, was taken to Children's Hospital in Boston.
Read: Prior allegations of violence against Brady
The baby was found to be suffering from subdural and retinal hemorrhaging, broken bones including a broken arm and leg, compression fractures of the vertebrae and cerebral swelling, according to prosecutors.
"There was bruising under the scalp, bruising on the buttocks. Compression fractures on the vertebrae, that would be consistent with the slamming of a child," prosecutor Katherine Folger said.
The baby also showed signs of previous injuries that had started healing, prosecutors said.
The girl, who was taken to the hospital on her first birthday, was declared brain dead on Jan. 16 and taken off life support.
Defense attorney Melinda Thompson said McCarthy Brady is innocent and the injuries may have happened during family trips to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or London while the child was not in the nanny's care. Thompson also said the baby was diagnosed as malnourished by a doctor.
"She was diagnosed by doctor as being malnourished, who suggested she not go on another trip. She went on another trip, again, without the nanny, without Ms. McCarthy, to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan," Thompson said.
McCarthy Brady, who is married without children of her own, has no criminal record and came to the United States from Ireland 13 years ago. She had worked for the family for six months.
Federal immigration officials told NewsCenter 5 that Brady was not in the country legally.

Legislation that would amend various firearms laws passed in the House Tuesday. If House Bill 937 becomes a law, the carrying of concealed weapons would be relaxed � including permitting them on college campuses.
The North Carolina House has spoken on gun legislation.
House lawmakers passed a bill Tuesday that would relax current laws on concealed weapons, including permitting them on college campuses. They voted 78-42, and House Bill 937 will now be sent to the Senate for reading.
The bill additionally will allow concealed weapons on state property, sporting events and locations where alcohol is served and consumed. Those with carry permits will be allowed to keep their guns in a locked vehicle on campus under the legislature.
Amend Various Firearms Laws was filed in February and has had a series of amendments rejected before it passed a second reading in the House late Monday night.
While Lenoir Community College recently heightened security measures by adding armed officers, school administrators feel those personnel should probably be the individuals allowed to carry weapons on campus.
�I�m very concerned,� said LCC President Brantley Briley. �I just don�t see how having any type of weapon on this campus is going to move us into a safer environment. I am very unhappy that it�s even being considered.�
Under the current statute, it is a felony to carry weapons on campus. But private colleges and universities can opt out of the bill, while public schools � like LCC � cannot.
HB937 addressed college and university campuses, but LCC houses the Lenoir County Early College High School.
�Anybody can see a handgun in the car,� said 16-year-old student Christian Johnson, who disagreed with the bill. �Somebody could steal it and run around campus waving it around.�
Early College and LCC students share the same parking lot, leaving the high school students affected, as well.
Briley said he supports the right to bear arms, but he feels HB937 will compromise the safety of students, employees and visitors by allowing guns on campus, even if they are in locked cars.
�You have a situation on campus and everyone goes to their car and brings out their gun, you know?� Briley said. �I just think it�s a step in the wrong direction. It just threatens safety and our ability to maintain control in adverse situations.�
The local campus shares a building with Kinston�s Basic Law Enforcement Training. While officers have to go through the program to carry a firearm, the weapons are not stored in the building. Rubber gun replicas are used instead.
Chief Brent Maupin, who heads the security guards at LCC, said he had mixed feelings about the bill.
�I�m kind of in the middle right now,� he said. �I�m not opposed to it, but I�m not sure how much I support it. I have to do some more research. � If it does pass, we as security officers have to be more vigilant than we are now.�
He has been tracking statements made across North Carolina about HB937. According to an article on WRAL.com, those backing the legislation say it protects the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, amplifies gun-related punishment in the state and is supported by the North Carolina Sheriff�s Association.
Lenoir County Sheriff Chris Hill said it appears the bill changes and expands the concealed weapon laws in North Carolina.
�I am somewhat concerned about the increased storage of firearms in vehicles,� he said. �We are now experiencing more and more vehicle break-ins and, in some cases, handguns have been stolen. These firearms will undoubtedly make it into the hands of someone who may not legally possess them.�
Hill opposes people consuming alcohol while carrying a weapon. It is currently illegal to carry a firearm where alcohol is being sold or consumed but will be allowed if business owners permit it under the changed law.
�I don�t see a need for it,� said LCC student Marty Shoobridge. �You�re coming here to go to class. I think it could (compromise safety) because I think people get disgruntled about things. If they don�t like something, you never know what they can do.�

To say that the Nintendo Entertainment System was a part of my childhood is quite an understatement. The original NES was in fact a big part of my childhood. I recall countless hours playing Super Mario Bros., Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Rad Racer, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, just to name a few of my favorite titles. I remember leaving the NES on overnight just so that I could save my place in in a particular game and continue playing the next day. I remember vigorously blowing into cartridges to kick start them back to life. I remember the countless hours of fun that I had with my NES.
This list is built on that childhood love that I had for Nintendo. To this day, you can still catch me playing with the Nintendo Wii or my DS. The only difference now is that I can look good (and so can you) in Nintendo gear while I am gaming out. Enjoy the list!
I'd love to hear which one of these are your favorites and whether or not you own any of these tees! And if you know of a NINTENDO related shirt not on this list then please tell me about it. Leave a comment below in the comments section and let me know!

Road to Post-Chávez Venezuela Still Nebulous
(NEW YORK) -- The road to a post-Chávez Venezuela became a little bit less hazy Saturday, after legislators re-elected Diosdado Cabello to the post of National Assembly president.
Cabello is a long time Chávez ally with close links to the military. According to some observers, he clashes with Chávez's handpicked successor, Nicolás Maduro, over several issues, including the role of Cuban intelligence officers in Venezuela.
Cabello's re-election to the National Assembly post means that if Chávez dies before January 10 -- when he is scheduled to start his fourth consecutive term in office -- Cabello would have to take over as interim president of the country, until elections are held once again.
But if Chávez lives beyond that date, the transition process in Venezuela will continue to be a confusing affair.
Maduro, the vice president, said in an interview on Friday night that if Chávez is alive but not healthy enough to be sworn into office, Venezuela's Supreme Court could swear him in at a "later date."
"The constitution is flexible in that regard," Maduro told the Venezuelan state-run news channel Venezolana de Televisión. "Chávez has already formed his government," he added.
Maduro, who has taken over several presidential duties while Chávez is in the hospital, argued that Chávez's fourth period in office would begin whether there is an inauguration ceremony or not.
But this interpretation of the Venezuelan Constitution clashes with that of some opposition lawyers, who say that the January 10 swearing-in date is not flexible, and claim that if Chávez is not able to preside over the country on that date, Diosdado Cabello would have to take over as interim president.
Under this interpretation, Chávez's fourth term in office would never begin if he is too sick to be sworn in. Vice President Maduro would be out of a job and new elections would be held in order to form a new government.
For the moment, Maduro's plan to keep the current government running until Chávez can be sworn in at a later date is the most likely to prevail in Venezuela, as the country's Supreme Court is packed with allies of the socialist president.
The general consensus in Venezuela is that if Chávez dies at any time, before or after January 10, elections should be held within 30 days of his passing. However, there is also some room for debate here, with some lawyers arguing that according to the Venezuelan Constitution, elections only have to be "called for," not actually "held" in a 30-day period.
Of course, none of this legal debate may be necessary if Chávez miraculously recovers from his cancer surgery, and triumphantly returns to Venezuela, energized and ready to serve out his upcoming six-year term.
But the prospects of that happening are slim. The Venezuelan president had his fourth cancer surgery in 18 months in early December, and has not spoken in public since he headed to Cuba on December 9, nor written any messages on his massively popular Twitter account, as he did in previous post-surgery periods.
Rumors on the web, from journalists and doctors who claim to have obtained leaked information, say that Chávez is on artificial life support, able to breathe only with the help of a machine. On December 30, the Venezuelan government announced that Chávez had contracted a respiratory infection that arose from post-surgery complications, and on January 3, it updated his status, saying he now had a "severe lung infection."
Making things more uncertain, the Venezuelan government has not provided any further details on the president's health, prompting criticism from the opposition, who say officials want to keep citizens in the dark about Chávez's real status.

For an inimitable eye look, use in combination with the Lasting Eyebrow Gel and Neutral Eye Base, the neutralising and fixing eye primer.

Shaped and compact, the new packaging with a body of transparent glass and hermetically sealed black capsule, with the KK monogram branded on the top, stands out with its functionality and elegance, which it shares with the Lasting Eyebrow Gel
Unlike the usual self-assessment tests on the duration of a product, which rely on the subjective interpretations and perceptions of the volunteers, with numbers that aren't always statistically significant, the KIKO long-lasting test is an instrumental test, conducted in vivo, on a sample of 20 women aged between 18 and 60 years.
The product for which the duration is being tested is applied in a clinical laboratory, in the presence of a trained technician, who shows the volunteer how to apply the product, as indicated by the KIKO developers and makeup artists.
Application then takes place under normal conditions of use, on the product's actual area of use (for example, an eyeliner will be applied to the eyelid, a lipstick will be applied directly to the lips).
At time zero, that is to say immediately after the first application, colour surveys are taken, using a standardised and calibrated high-resolution tool, which captures images of the face.
At this point, the volunteer returns to her own home and continues her normal daily activities, simulating the natural use of the product. After four, eight and ten hours, the volunteer returns to the laboratory where measurements of the colour intensity are taken, using the same tool that was used for the first test at time zero.
At the end of the test, the data obtained from each reading are developed to quantify, as a percentage, the hold of the colour for the different survey times, in comparison to time zero.
The percentage values achieved are translated according to the following table:
A result of "GOOD LONG-LASTING COLOUR" (or a maximum discolouration of 20%) eight hours AFTER application of the product allows usage of the claim "long-lasting".
The objectivity of the result obtained thanks to this type of test is guaranteed by the use of technologies that take the measurements in standardised conditions, without the risk of subjective influences and personal perceptions. Thanks to the method and the scientific approach, the result is highly reliable, accurate and repeatable.
