Samsung sold more smartphones than Apple in May in the U.S., Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley says in a report this morning.
Walkley's data is based on store surveys he does.
This is the first time Samsung outsold Apple in the U.S. since the iPhone 5 launched at the end of September.
Walkley says, "In the U.S. market, the Samsung Galaxy S4 was the top-selling smartphone at Verizon/Sprint/T-Mobile, and second best-selling smartphone at AT&T to the iPhone 5."
The S4, combined with strong sales of the S3 and Galaxy Note II gave Samsung the top sales spot in the U.S.
Samsung's marketing is the reason its selling more phones than anyone else, says Walkley: "We believe dominant sales of the S4 versus other Android smartphones was driven by Samsung's extremely strong Galaxy consumer brand and well-executed marketing campaign, as our surveys indicated store representatives often recommended the HTC One ahead of the Galaxy S4."
This happened last year, too. Samsung's strong brand is giving it a bump in sales when its new model comes out, just like Apple.
Yesterday, comScore released data saying Apple had 39.2% of the U.S. smartphone market for the three month average ending in April, its highest share yet. It also said Apple had more share of the market than Samsung.
The difference between comScore and Canaccord is that comScore measures what's in people's pockets. Canaccord measures what people were buying last month. As a result, comScore is more backward looking, whereas Canaccord is more forward looking.
Here's a table that looks at the best selling smartphones in the U.S. over the last four months.
This table gives us reason to be skeptical about Walkley's report. He doesn't include the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S in the February sales at AT&T. Based on comments from AT&T and Apple, it seems like those phones were top sellers. Their absence is suspicious.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that most people have that one toxic barnacle of a human being that they can't seem to scrape off their leg. Perhaps it's the old college roommate who once chirped while watching you devour cheese fries, "Wow, you have to be sooo confident to eat like that!" Or an ex-boyfriend whose Twitter you sometimes normal-read and sometimes hate-read. Or that one ass-kissing co-worker who sometimes throws out your leftovers in the office fridge WAY before they've gone bad, but also she hugged you when you were crying in the bathroom one time?
Anyway, you kind of have to give that person a present. Any suggestions?

By Greg Watry
ROME — Two street artists are bringing the spirit of the church to a new art exhibition in Rome. The -1 Art Gallery, located in the basement of the Casa dell'Architettura, opened a new exhibition titled "Sancta Sanctoroom" on Friday, Nov. 23.
Prominent Roman street artists Mr. Klevra and omino71 are the creative forces behind the exhibition, which illustrates scenes from the Book of Revelation.
Mr. Klevra gained notoriety for his unique street art, which often depicts religious figures such as the Madonna and Child.
The gallery is full of religious figures in Byzantine
art style. An image of the Virgin Mary welcomes patrons into the first room, which depicts the Apocalypse in an array of psychedelic colors. On the left wall, the false prophet, surrounded by a beast and dragon, represents evil. While on the right, the sacrificial lamb and two lions represent the unity of the Holy Trinity and good. The New Jerusalem, a city painted in gold, sits in the background of the three figures. The second room depicts the Last Judgment, when mankind's sins are weighed and it is decided whether one goes to paradise or the inferno.
The work warrants much contemplation with its inclusion of minute details from the Book of Revelation and the hidden symbols scattered within the art. Coupled with contemporary images and themes, the exhibition brings a modern twist to an ancient text.
Religious and art enthusiasts will both find something to enjoy in this gallery. As with most street art, the exhibition has a lifespan and will only be open until Dec. 21. After that, the walls will be repainted to make way for a new show. So if you're in the Rome area it is definitely worth checking out.

Environmental Impacts of Wind Energy Projects (May 2007)Report in Brief
There has been rapid growth in the construction of wind-powered electricity generating facilities over the past 25 years in the United States. Wind-energy facilities emit no atmospheric pollutants and are driven by a renewable source, addressing multiple environmental concerns such as air quality and climate change. But the expansion of such facilities can carry adverse environmental impacts. As wind energy development continues to expand, federal, state and local agencies should adopt a coordinated approach to evaluating the planning, regulation, and location of wind-energy projects. This National Research Council report provides a framework that can help in evaluating tradeoffs between the benefits of new wind-energy projects and risks of adverse environmental impacts before projects begin.

Reflections on Caritas in Veritate – Part II: Philosophical Foundations
By Jude Huntz
In the field of philosophy there is a distinction between general ethics and special ethics. General ethics looks to the common experiences of all human beings and the general ethical principles that govern human behavior. Special ethics, on the other hand, covers ethical concerns of specialized areas such as business ethics, medical ethics, bioethics, and the like. Every field of human activity has ethical norms that govern human behavior.
Similarly, moral theology has the same principle that all human behavior has a moral component. Moral theologians employ the term "fundamental option" to indicate that all human choice has a moral consequence that affects the state of a person's soul and one's eternal salvation. In short, every human choice has a moral consequence that affects a person's relationship with Almighty God.
Pope Benedict XVI constantly makes this point throughout his latest encyclical Caritas in Veritate. In replying to the conventional wisdom that the market is an impersonal force driven by its own laws and dynamism, the Holy Father rejects this notion, stating that "the market does not exist in the pure state. It is shaped by the cultural configurations which define it and give it direction. Economy and finance, as instruments, can be used badly when those at the helm are motivated by purely selfish ends. Instruments that are good in themselves can thereby be transformed into harmful ones. But it is man's darkened reason that produces these consequences, not the instruments per se. Therefore, it is not the instrument that must be called to account, but individuals, their moral conscience, and their personal and social responsibility" (#36).
Every human activity is governed not by impersonal forces beyond our control, but rather they are put in motion by human choice and the end for which our choice is made. "Thus, every economic decision has a moral consequence" (#37). Citing the work of Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict reminds us that "investment always has moral, as well as economic, significance" (#40). The current economic crisis was not created by some impersonal business cycle, but rather it was caused by the selfish choices of those who made decisions based upon narrow self-interest instead of the common good of all. In fact, the Holy Father states, "Poverty is often produced by a rejection of God's love, by man's basic and tragic tendency to close in on himself, thinking himself to be self-sufficient or merely an insignificant and ephemeral fact, a 'stranger' in a random universe" (#53). As a result, "the economy needs ethics in order to function correctly – not any ethics whatsoever, but an ethics which is people-centered" (#45).
Here, we must return to the Pope's insistence upon a morality of gratuitousness that replaces the ethic of self-interest that has dominated Western society since the Enlightenment. The morality of gratuitousness sees everything as a gift from God – a gift that is received and then given to others (cf. #5). The sacrament of the Eucharist should continually remind the People of God about this ethic of gratuitousness, for the word Eucharist means 'thanksgiving'. Thus, in our celebration of the Eucharist our orientation is not directed toward our self-interest but on service to neighbor. In fact, Pope Benedict mentioned during the year of St. Paul that any celebration of the Eucharist that is not directed toward propelling the faithful to serve our fellow human beings is a travesty (cf. St. Paul: Reflections on the Year of St. Paul, Ignatius Press).
Towards the end of the encyclical, the Holy Father summarizes all that he has said about the philosophical foundations of charity and truth (emphasis original): "Often, the development of peoples is considered a matter of financial engineering, the freeing up of markets, the removal of tariffs, investment in production, and institutional reforms – in other words, a purely technical matter. All these factors are of great importance, but we have to ask why technical choices made thus far have yielded rather mixed results. We need to think hard about the cause. Development will never be fully guaranteed through automatic or impersonal forces, whether they derive from the market or from international politics. Development is impossible without upright men and women, without financiers and politicians whose consciences are finely attuned to the requirements of the common good. Both professional competence and moral consistency are necessary" (#71). In other words, our faith and morality are not something we can compartmentalize or make reference to only in specific moments of our lives. Rather, faith and morality are part and parcel of every moment of every day in every human life. There is no decision we make that does not have a moral consequence or that does not affect the common good. In short, there are no private choices that affect only an individual person. The current economic and environmental crises make that point abundantly clear.
As we continue our study and reflection on Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Caritas in Veritate, let us reflect upon our own choices, employing the Ignatian method of the daily examination of conscience to attune our conscience to the will of Almighty God and the common good of our fellow human beings.

Implementing BT's fibre product is preventing the UK from having an open and competitive broadband infrastructure, according to the House of Lords Communications Committee.
In a report entitled 'Broadband for all – an alternative vision', the Committee noted that the government had originally intended to deliver a digital hub in every community, but this seems to have been substituted by BT's fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) product, which allows anyone to purchase a fibre link to the premise for a price.
The committee did not believe this was a suitable strategy for building a competitive infrastructure: "The exclusive ability of one provider to build a final fibre link is actually a categorical departure from the idea of an open access fibre optic hub in which anyone is permitted to build a link between premises in the community and a fibre in the hub," it said.
"In fact, it well and truly puts the kibosh on the idea. While the government clearly considered the proposal in general terms early on in their deliberations, it is fair to say now, that it has disappeared from their plans in implementation."
The peers suggested that Ofcom should force current infrastructure owners to provide open access to dark fibre at the level of the cabinet, and active and passive access, together with rights to install and collocate active equipment on relevant links, at the level of the exchange.
"Our communications network must be regarded as a strategic, national asset. The government's strategy lacks just that – strategy," said committee chairman Lord Inglewood.
"The complex issues involved were not thought through from first principle and it is far from clear that the government's policy will deliver the broadband infrastructure that we need – for profound social and economic reasons – for the decades to come."
An open access 'hub' would act as a waystation between the community and the broadband infrastructure that spreads throughout the country. 'Dark' fibre optic cables, fibre that isn't currently live, would run into the hub and anybody would be permitted to build a link between a premises in the community and that hub, using their own passive or active electronic equipment.
They would then rent the existing fibre that they are connecting to, and would theoretically allow any type of compatible access network to be built by any local community, SME or infrastructure provider.
It is hoped that by providing open access to dark fibre at the cabinet level will encourage increased competition in the market, as it reduces the costs for smaller players.
There is increasing concernthat the government's Broadband Delivery framework (BDUK) is favouring incumbent supplier BT, as a number of alternative providers have pulled out of the bidding process, leaving BT to win the majority of public funds.
The report recognised that the creation of these open access 'hubs' may help to allay concerns from Brussels that BT is receiving too much public funding. Although much of the BDUK money has been allocated to local authorities, it cannot yet be spent until the European Commission gives state aid approval, which may take another six months.
The UK government has said that it hopes to have the best broadband network in Europe by 2015, and has committed a minimum of £730 million up until 2015 to support the rollout. The money is being distributed to local authorities that bid for funding via a framework created by governing body Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK).
Computerworld UKcontacted BT for comment on the report, but, unlike the media, was not provided access under embargo.
A spokesman said: "BT is unable to comment on the report as the committee have not had the courtesy to share it with us. That is despite us formally requesting a copy at the same time it was provided to the media."
The committee also recognised that a large ISP, such as BT, may be "reluctant to deal with, and rely on, a number of small and disparate infrastructure providers". It proposed the virtual aggregation of networks into larger units to resolve this issue, which would allow an ISP to interact with a management organisation acting as an intermediary, rather than the network owner itself.
It said: "We would, therefore, urge the industry to work to ensure there is such an organisation, and that it is fit for purpose.
"We are aware, for example, that INCA, the Independent Networks Cooperative Association, may be able to act in this capacity."

Well, according to the census, women constitute about 52 percent of the Charlottesville-Albemarle population. Charlottesville's more diverse with about 30 percent minorities, while Albemarle has less than 20 percent. Albemarle skews older— about 15 percent of its residents are over 65, according to the Census, perhaps a result of its reputation as a great retirement destination, while less than 10 percent of Charlottevillians are above 65.

Virginia requires convicted rapists, pedophiles, and other violent sex offenders to register their whereabouts with the state police. You can search the database to see if there's one living near you. http://sex-offender.vsp.virginia.gov/sor/.
Noisy neighbors?
CHARLOTTESVILLE– In residential areas of the city, the 10pm-6am limit is 55 decibels (or about the level of loud talking), 65 decibels for 6am-10pm. In 2008, the city also created a 75-decibel limit after 10pm (now after 11pm) outside restaurants and anytime in its downtown business district. Charlottesville police are the enforcers and may be willing to come out and measure the racket with their special meters. 970-9041.
ALBEMARLE– Noise enforcement in the county depends. Mostly, if noise is audible 100 feet from the property line, police can tell you to pipe down. After neighbors started complaining about noise from a winery in 2011, the Board of Supervisors set a 60-decibel limit from 7am to 10pm and 55 decibels after 10pm in rural and residential areas that is enforced by the zoning administrator. And if you have the misfortune to live beside a barking dog in a non-rural area, you have to listen to it bark its head off for 30 minutes before going to the magistrate and getting a summons issued for the yapper's owner. Confused? Plan B: earplugs. 296-5807.
Remove the snow!
CHARLOTTESVILLE– Many people don't realize that a city ordinance requires all citizens to remove snow from the sidewalks along their property within 48 hours of the snowfall's cessation or face a $75 administrative fee.
CHARLOTTESVILLE– You're subject to a fine if you let them grow over 18 inches tall, and although the city has "no mow" zones near creeks and streams in five city parks, it took one man's fight against City Hall to adjust the law somewhat. And city residents are still required to mow right up to the street— even if the grass doesn't actually belong to them. Enforcer: zoning department. 970-3182
The Newcomers Club of Greater Charlottesville says it's open to all who have been residents of the area for less than three years. 980-2725
Before you dig...
Since undergrounding utilities is all the rage, Virginia has one sweet phone number you should call first to avoid death and injury when you put that shovel in the ground. After you call "Miss Utility," someone comes out, free of charge, and spray paints lines where underground utilities lie. 811 or 800-552-7001

Natural gas
Efficient stuff for heating. Available only through the underground pipes of Charlottesville's Public Utilities, which serves the city limits and nearby suburbs. Public Utilities is so hungry for customers it provides several helpful services: one free pilot-lighting of your furnace each year as well as $100 rebates for converting to programmable thermostats, gas water heaters, and even low-flow toilets.
Billing: 970-3211
Pilot lighting & gas emergency: 970-3800
Propane and fuel oil
An alternative for folks who don't live on the natural gas pipeline. While fuel oil is generally just for heating, many Central Virginia households use propane for both cooking and hot water in addition to heat. Many local companies will fill your tank.
Coal and firewood
UVA, in addition to burning natural gas and fuel oil, also makes heat the old-fashioned way: with coal. But as far as we can tell, no one is selling coal retail in Charlottesville, and there are probably only a few dozen houses with those cute little coal-burning fireplaces anyway. As for firewood, every modern-day Paul Bunyan and his brother seems to be selling the stuff come fall.
Hook tip
Make sure you get what you pay for in firewood, as a cord is 128 cubic feet, e.g. 4 x 4 x 8 or 3 x 6.5 x 6.5. Prices typically range from $90-$160 per cord.
Internet access
In addition to the myriad national providers, residential customers have several firms with a Central Virginia presence to choose from, including:
Broadband Network Services, Inc. - 817-7300
Comcast- 800-934-6489
CenturyLink- 800-366-8201
Firstnet- 817-3131
Helix- 963-4900
Localnet- 888-488-7265
Pure Internet - 392-4804
VA.net- 296-6055
Cable television
Many years ago, when cable was thought to be a natural monopoly, the city struck a deal making Adelphia the sole provider. In 2006, Adelphia was divvied up between Time Warner and Comcast, the latter of which got dibs on the local cable market. Technically, it's not the exclusive provider; it just works out that way. The company provides everything from local broadcast channels to public access (which gives City Council and other civic meetings) to all the premium goods including HBO and Cinemax. 800-266-2278
Satellite television
Dish Network (800-823-4929) and DirecTV (800-644-8103) are the providers. Dish is the one that carries local channels.
CHARLOTTESVILLE- Before they open the taps, the city demands a letter of credit or a deposit. But that's not what scares some customers. Ever since the drought of 2002, rates have skyrocketed, essentially tripling since 1999 levels. And with the summer water (May-September) priced higher than "winter" water, there are incentives to save. Including your 10 percent utility tax plus the $4 fees for both water and sewer, you should be looking at a monthly bill of $78 for using 5,000 gallons. Charlottesville Utility Billing Office. 970-3211
ALBEMARLE- Like Charlottesville, leaders want to encourage conservation, so in 2009, Albemarle implemented a system that drastically rewards thrift and punishes gluttony. Your total monthly bill for using 5,000 gallons (including that pesky 10 percent tax and assuming you use public sewer) should be around $70. Albemarle County Service Authority. 977-4511
If you're not on the sewer grid
Then you should save about half from your bill! Make sure to regularly get your in-ground septic system pumped— about every five years or so— because rebuilding a septic field can cost over $10,000. These things are regulated by the local Health Department at 1138 Rose Hill Drive, which can show you a little sketch of where your septic field is located. 972-6259
Be aware of water rates If you live in Albemarle and dwell in a single-family house, you can dramatically curtail your water bill by using less than 3,000 gallons a month because rates jump from $3.33 per 1,000 gallons for the first 3,000 gallons you use to $6.66 for gallons 3,001-6,000 gallons and then to 9.99 per thousand up to 9,000 gallons. After the 9,000-gallon-a-month level—which is where lawn-watering will get you— you'll be shelling out $13.32 per thousand gallons. Ouch!
Where's my water from?
If you're on either the city or county water system, your water is stored at one of these five reservoirs: Beaver Creek if you live in Crozet, Ragged Mountain, at which a larger new dam is being built, South Fork Rivanna, Sugar Hollow, or Totier Creek if you live in Scottsville. The quasi-public body that chlorinates and sells the water to Charlottesville and Albemarle is the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority.
CHARLOTTESVILLE- Curbside recycling is free: newspapers, magazines, catalogs, cardboard, aluminum cans, other metals, even #1 and #2 plastic bottles and glass bottles are picked up at curbside on the day your trash is collected. The city also contracts with Van der Linde Recycling for household trash, which means that everything thrown in your trash can goes to the company's state-of-the-art recycling facility on Route 250 East. Private companies, such as Dixon Disposal, also offer trash and recycling services for individuals and businesses. Guidelines available from the City Public Service, 970-3830.
ALBEMARLE- If you live in the county you'll have to contract with a private hauler, as the county doesn't offer trash and recycling services. However, thanks to Van der Linde Recycling, nearly all major county haulers now offer single stream recycling. And now, the County is considered dealing with Van der Linde directly by letting him take over the Materials Utilization Center, currently run by the RSWA. There's also the McIntire Road Recycling Center (906-0763) which is open to city and county residents, and accepts almost all major categories including cardboard, books, spray cans, #1 and #2 plastic, and colored glass. W-F 8:30am-5:20pm, Sat 9:30am-5:20pm, Sun 12:30-5:20pm. And if you have a lot of metal, you might get some real money down at Cycle Systems in the Woolen Mills neighborhood. 296-6465
Trash hauling
ALBEMARLE- While some people haul their own trash to the Ivy Transfer station, bury it on their property, or take it to Van der Linde Recycling, most suburbanites hire one of the many private haulers who advertise their services in the Yellow Pages. Typically, they charge $20-25 a month.
CHARLOTTESVILLE- The city gets this done via a private firm that swings by your house once a week, but you have to pay (to cover landfill fees and encourage recycling) via the dreaded sticker system. You have to buy stickers, which you affix to your trash can or bag– weekly– by buying 32-gallon stickers for $2.10 each or 13-gallon stickers for $1.05. Or spring for the annual trash decal (32-gallon:$94.50/50-gallon: $147.50/64-gallon: $189.00/96-gallon: $283.50) and paste it on the side of your trash can. These can be purchased at City Hall or at any number of local grocery and convenience stores. For more information, call 970-3146.
$35 large-item disposal- Until 2004, Charlottesville residents got a big bonus: up to two annual visits from a huge truck with a giant claw that would take away jumbo trash like refrigerators, tree limbs, and sofas. They still pick up, but now you have to pay— and prices went up July 1.The first pick-up is $35; second is $50; all subsequent pick-ups are $100. To schedule, call 970-3830.
Free leaf pickup- Another bonus of living in the city. Free collection begins each November with pickup of bagged leaves (the city even provides free bags) and vacuuming of raked-to-the-curb leaves. They'll also take your Christmas tree and debris after a storm. 970-3830
Burning stuff
ALBEMARLE– You're allowed to burn stuff in the county! But there are some rules. Moreover, between February 15 and April 30, open burning may take place only between the hours of 4pm and midnight, unless you're burning a distance of 300 feet or more from woodlands or other material capable of spreading fire to woodlands. Other regulations also apply. Fire Marshal: Howard Lagomarsino. Albemarle Department of Fire & Rescue: 296-5833
CHARLOTTESVILLE– No outdoor burning in the city without the Fire Marshal's approval. Certain grills and artificial pits for cookouts are fine, but check first to be sure yours has the okay. Fire Marshal: Gary Whiting. Charlottesville Fire Department: 970-3240
The landfill
Though it operates under the name Materials Utilization Center, everyone in Charlottesville knows it as "The Ivy Landfill." Located on Dick Woods Road (Route 637) in Ivy, it no longer actually puts trash in the ground but does accept your junk for around $66/ton (and then ships it far away). Hours: 7:30am-4pm Monday-Saturday. Effective July 2010, the facility stopped collecting batteries, paint, and fluorescent light tubes on a regular basis. You can, however, dispose of many of these items at Van der Linde Recycling, which some locals call our "landfill of the future." The Ivy facility is also the site of the Encore Shop, which lets people claim "trash" as treasures. 977-2976
Reporting dead animals
CHARLOTTESVILLE- Call City Public Service (970-3830) or police dispatch (977-9041) for pickup.
ALBEMARLE- Call VDOT (293-0011) or police dispatch (977-9041) for pickup.
Reporting Pollution
Virginia's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) urges citizens to report suspected pollution incidents during business hours by calling Jennifer Welcher at 540-574-7854 at DEQ's regional office (main number 540-574-7800)— or the Department of Emergency Management at 800-468-8892 on nights, holidays, and weekends.
Jury Duty
In Virginia, potential jurors are selected randomly by jury commissioners using lists designated by the court, such as the voter registration list and the driver's license list. Jurors are reimbursed $30 for each day.
This town contains not only an old-fashioned rural co-op (Southern States), but also a major national catalog retailer in Plow & Hearth, and more garden centers than you can shake a watering can at. Plus, the City of Charlottesville offers 30'x30' plots of land that can be rented for just $40 a year ($60 to non-residents) in Azalea Park and at the old Fairgrounds near the Emmet Street Bodo's. Renewal registration starts the first Monday in February. New renters can sign up the third Tuesday in February. 970-3260
Every April, some of the most sumptuous gardens and grounds are open to the gawkers during Historic Garden Week. See "Annual Events" in our Outings section for more. 804-644-7776
Summer can hit Charlottesville pretty hard. In 2002, we suffered through a drought that has been classified as our worst and led to intense water restrictions which lasted for months. During the summer of 2010, we dealt with microbursts, intense storms that lasted for short amounts of time but left many C'villians without power. Even more vivid in our memories is the summer of 2012, complete with over 100-degree temperatures and the dreaded derecho, which left some without power for more than a week.
But this summer threw a curveball— or maybe a water balloon. Although May was dry with less than half normal precipitation, June got wet and wild with monthly rainfall soaring to more than double the average. June's immense rainfall— more than nine inches!— pushed the total rainfall for the year to 130 percent of the norm, causing warnings of flash flooding. Out of 118 years on record, June 2013 is ranked number six in terms of rainfall over the month. Although this may seem to dampen your summer, remember that overcast days can save us from the heat, and showers in the summer allow plant life to flourish in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Hurricane Sandy
The effect Hurricane Sandy had on Virginia pales in comparison to the devastation on New York and the Caribbean. However, Governor McDonnell declared a state of emergency, based on the destruction of the storm as it neared us. Romney, Biden, and Obama all canceled campaigning in Virginia as the storm raged.
Let it snow!
The winter of 2009-'10 will likely go down as one of the most brutal in Central Virginia history with the December 18, 2009 "Snowpocalypse" dumping two feet on Charlottesville and Albemarle, followed less than two months later by the so-called "Snowmageddon," which dropped another 18 inches. Since then, winters have been been milder, and this past one was particularly lame as far as snowfall. Maybe winter 2013-'14 will be better for kids who want to sled.
Destructive Nature in the Ville
Though we have had scares in the past, tornados are not a major fear in Virginia. Although some speculated the series of microbursts that hit Charlottesville in early June 2010 might have had the makings of a tornado, the last time our part of the state saw serious tornado damage was in 1959. Of course, that's nothing compared to the devastating tornado activity in Oklahoma in May, 2013, which caused estimates of up to $5 billion dollars in damages. August 23rd, 2011, we experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 in Louisa county, accompanied by many aftershocks.

Blockx Soft Pastels are handmade in Belgium using pure pigments in the same tradition started by company founder and chemist Jacques Blockx in 1844. Pastels are soft and velvety in texture. Best-suited for use on pastel paper.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
chromium oxide
Chromium Oxide Green is a dull, dense, willow or pale green color that is completely opaque. It has an average drying time and a low tinting strength. It is fairly flexible in oil form and is suitable for all purposes and mediums. This pigment is less versatile in mixtures than Viridian and Phthalocyanine Green, but mixes well with other colors without overpowering them.
Chromium Oxide Green has excellent permanence, even at high temperatures.
Chromium Oxide Green is slightly toxic. Evidence of Chromium(III) carcinogenicity is inconclusive. Chromium(III) salts appear in greenish pigments such as PG17. Chromium(VI) salts, which appear in yellowish pigments, have been proven to cause cancer.
Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin discovered the element chromium in lead chromate in 1797. It began to be used as an enamel and ceramic color in 1809, but it had limited use as a pigment until 1862, because of its cost. It is the most commonly used green for military camouflage because it appears the same shade as living foliage under infrared light.
Chrome Oxide Green, Olive Green, Permanent Green. Varieties of Chromium Oxide Green include Arnaudon's Green, Dingler's Green, Plessy's Green, and Schnitzer's Green.
iron(III)-oxide, hydrated
Fe2O3 • H2O
Yellow Ochre provides artists with earthtones from cream to brown. It has good hiding power, produces a quick drying paint, and can be safely mixed with other pigments. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. If gypsum is present, Yellow Ochre is not suitable for frescoing. (See Brown Ochre, PY43.) PY42 is made from synthetic iron oxides. PY43 is made from natural iron oxide.
Yellow Ochre has excellent permanence because ochres are some of the most permanent pigments available.
Yellow Ochre is non-toxic unless it contains manganese.
Ochre comes from the Greek word ochros, meaning pale yellow. It was one of the first pigments to be used by human beings, and evidence of its use has been found at 300,000 year old sites in France and the former Czechoslovakia.
Chamois, Iron Yellow, Mars Orange, Mars Yellow, Minette, Ochre, Sil, Yellow Earth, Yellow Oxide. Varieties of Yellow Ochre include Brown Ochre, Flesh Ochre, Roman Ochre, Spruce Ochre, and Transparent Gold Ochre.

This just in: Some of the guys in One Direction smoke marijuana.
That's right — the crazy weed, the Maui wowie, grass, pot, Thai stick, the reefer, the chronic, the Mary Jane, the bud, the ganja, the wacky tobackie, the …
Anyway, a couple members of the British boy band apparently had the genius idea of filming themselves smoking pot. Because the idea of celebrities filming themselves doing things they don't want the public to see hardly ever turns out bad.
British publication The Daily Mail posted footage of 21-year-old Zayn Malik and 22-year-old Louis Tomlinson smoking a joint and joking about it. The video was shot by Tomlinson, who also served as narrator while the boys drove through Lima, Peru, in the back of an SUV, on their way to an April 27 show at the Estadio Nacional.
"So here we are, leaving Peru. Joint lit. Happy days." Tomlinson said, while the vehicle pulls out of a parking garage. "What do you think Zayn, about that type of content?"
"Very controversial," Malik said.
Irony can be so ironic.
The two stars pass the joint around, seemingly amused by the idea that police are escorting them to the venue.
"One very very important factor of Zayn's warm up of course is Mary J herself. In fact, I will present it to him now for some fantastic singing," Tomlinson said.
Kids. It won't be funny when the reefer sends them right to the loony bin, will it?
Apparently, the video was stolen. A rep for One Direction told the Daily Mail, "This matter is in the hands of our lawyers."
MTV News reported that some fans of the group are so upset about the 5-minute video that they've ripped up or burned tickets for upcoming tour dates. Others, of course, have expressed their support on social media.

The charge you refer to is only when you use a cheque (from say an English bank) which is made out in another currency (such as American $). I would strongly advise not to do this because for small amounts (under £100) is rarely is worth it. They might say they charge is 2.75% but there is often a minimum charge of £10. Plus it's normally the bank that receives the cheque that sets the charge (so in my example it's the American bank, which will have it's own rules and charges).
Just pay by credit card, they offer acceptable exchange rates and no hidden charges (at least most MasterCard and Visa cards do this).
If you can't pay by credit card, then PayPal is the next best option. Cheques and International Money Orders are not cost effective for small amounts.

I wonder how big a company this is now, when I first started ordering from them looked like it was a one man operation. Everything was addressed to a person and the web-site was very primitive. The invoices were handwritten. It has come quite aways in a moreprofessional look and feel .

Amazon having a $10 Anime Sale
Hope this is the right place but Amazon is having a $10 sale on some of their Anime.
Some strange ones such as Brigadoon but they also have some good ones such as Trigun and Vandread and Vampire Princess Miyu.
Here's a link but just FYI it has a Spoofee referral on it. I'm too lazy to prune it out so you can just go to Amazon direct and look it up

Ghost in the Shell box-set
Hey, from what I've found, there is not a Ghost in the Shell box set. This dissapoints me, because now I will have to hunt down each volume if I wish to complete the set. This also means it will come at a higher price. I've ran search engine searches, but haven't found anything really conclusive. It seems to have a "special edition" for each volume, but it seems to mean it comes with a box and a CD or t-shirt. Does anyone know where I could get a completed set? I know sometimes a retailer will bundle a package like this, but I haven't found one. Any help is appreciated.

Voices of a Distant Star [SOUNDTRACK]
I have been looking for this CD. Do you know where I can buy it? Please give me info if you know where to get it not just general website for anime stuff. This item is very hard to find for some reason. I have looked all over the place and still can't find it. I don't want to spend money on Japanese version because it is much more expensive. CD Japan doesn't have it. I check out yahoo japan auction anyway and it has only a few and they don't ship overseas. No luck on ebay.
It was released by ADV, I believe.

I've had mixed results with cdjapan.co.jp .... as far as jpop CDs go... they've been pretty good. but the collectibles ---- they appear to run a "just in time" shop like amazon is known to. That is.. they don't always have the stock ON HAND just because its displayed in their site. I've had three order problems in the last two months.
Two were figures that they didn't actually have and had to refund my money (of course, after 3 weeks its unlikely anyone is going to have it now). They also have had to delay the PPD OST shipment due to "unforeseen shortages".
I tend to avoid US Domestic hobbyship websites now as I got hit with bootleg versions twice from two different "supposedly reputable" dealers. DVDpacific, OTOH, has been nice and prompt.
Alternative sites, I've had good luck with for books, figures, CDs, & DVDs include:
nippon-export.com (they'll actually hunt down stuff if you give them enough data and they don't list stuff unless someone has actually requested it).
HobbyLinkJapan (nice pre-order section for registered customers).
AnimeMaxis (also pretty good with the pre-order handling).
edit: cdjapan just wrote that they'd shipped my PPD OST .... so their guess of 5-10 day delay wasn't too off.

<edit by Mod (xris): both the sites you listed are selling 100% bootleg One Piece DVD>
Some help would be nice considering I know nothing when it comes to buying anime xD -yeah i know I am pathetic-

Hmm, I've always been intersted in how much money bootleg sellers actually make off those things, and furthermore where their suppliers are... found this site
<edit by Mod (xris), good example but the link has to go all the same >
(mods, feel free to remove the link, but the minimum order for this guy is 240 DVDs... so it's not REALLY a link to a bootleg seller in a practical sense).
Seems that this guy is selling them for about $4.50 per DVD, and I don't know whether he's refering to per DVD set or per DVD. If the former, the profit margin is HUGE. You can sell 26 eps of one piece for $35, and make a %750 profit...
dammit, I'm starting to convince myself to make money this way... better stop.

Please have a look at the The generic "Is this a bootleg" thread since it gives all the hints needed to spot such bootlegs (i.e. Region 0, Chinese and English subtitles).
If you want (legal) English One Piece DVDs, then the Viz release is all there is (mind they are not yet available). Here they are listed at DVDPacific.
Vol 1 to be released on 28th Feb
Vol 2 to be released on 25th April
There are under $13 each but they only contain 3 episodes each.

There are no legal releases with an English sound track or subtitles. This applies to the TV and the OVA series.

Recently I reviewed the debut novel by Genevieve Valentine, Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti. I thought it a brilliant and intriguing book, and as a writer, I wondered about the thought process behind some of the concepts. Genevieve was kind enough to answer some questions for me.
The bones (in the story, circus aerialists have their human bones replaces with light, hollow copper one) represent different things to each character who receives them. What inspired them, and what did they represent for you, the author?
Appropriately enough, bird skeletons were a large part of the influence on the bones. I was looking them up for something unrelated, but the physiology was really interesting and stuck with me as I started writing about what exactly made the performers in the Circus Tresaulti so different. For me, the bones were always a tangible symbol of the sacrifices you make for something you love, though the self-destructive aspect of it often goes hand-in-hand, depending on the character.
The narrative jumps among several voices and points of view. Why did you choose that form?
When I sat down to begin I just started writing, and the scenes I wanted to get down first came first, in the perspective I thought made the most sense. By the time I had the breathing space to sit back and worry if it was going to work, I loved how it was coming together too much to think about stopping.
The story doesn't have a specific setting, either geographically or in time. Why did you decide on that?
I approached it with the idea that the deep aftermath of a war takes on this air of inevitability and surreality, as if it both defined and took place outside of the world now. With a war as big as the one that's implied here, that devastates natural resources and completely shifts the practice of government, old nations and eras slowly cease to matter. It doesn't help that the Circus operates in this landscape as they themselves are a bit unstuck in time by the magic that holds the Circus together.
How well did the artwork by Kiri Moth capture your sense of the story?
SO WELL. Sorry for the caps, but it's awesome. The cover alone is so detailed and evocative that no one could ask for more, but for me, some of the interior art pieces truly hit home. My two favorites are probably the griffin, which is so perfect it's become an emblem for the Circus in earnest, and Elena on the trapeze. The grace and introspection and loneliness of that moment is exactly how I had pictured it when I was writing, and seeing the recreation in my inbox the first time, I clutched my pearls like a dowager.
Thanks to Genevieve for answering my questions. You can find Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti at all the usual outlets.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Hilla Rebay, Solomon R. Guggenheim's artistic adviser, helped Guggenheim assemble his collection of modern art and convinced him to begin planning for a museum to house his collection. In 1943, she chose Frank Lloyd Wright and provided him with $21,000 to begin planning, even though a site had not yet been chosen. In August 1945, a design was unveiled to Mr. and Mrs. Guggenheim. Rebay's objective, seconded by Wright, involved construction of a museum to house Guggenheim's collection that rejected conventional museum architecture.
The building, notwithstanding the alterations and additions that have taken place, is a prime example of the later work of Frank Lloyd Wright, manifesting his theory of "organic architecture" in the unity of building method, appearance and use. It is Wright's only complete building in New York City and is completely different from any other modern building in New York City, breaking the norm of a facade parallel to the street and planar surfaces. Of reinforced concrete construction, its most striking feature is the one-quarter-mile long ramp which spirals up in ever-widening loops around an interior courtyard.
Reinforced concrete with early elastronic wall coating
On New York's upper Fifth Avenue, which largely consists of apartment houses constrcted of brick, sometimes with limestone over lower floors, together with a number of surviving town houses, largely though not entirely now serving institutional uses. Nearly all these buildings have flat facades facing the park and built to the building line. This is a stable neighborhood.
Wright was known to push the limits of technology and this building is no exception. George N. Cohen, the contractor, is credited with having made construction of a unique building possible at a reasonable cost. Wright created an irregular shape in the spiral that expands as it rises. This created uneven expansion and contraction as temperatures change. In order to preserve a monolithic appearance, there are no expansion joints. Wright used a thick elastic wall coating that had just been developed to prevent external cracking. Despite what would appear to be problems inherent to the building, a recent two-year assessment in connection with the restoration currently taking place found the structure in "remarkably good condition." "Guggenheim Restoration Has Wright Stuff," Architectural Record, vol. 195, no. 11, November 2007, p. 42.
Client and architect wanted and built a museum like no other. Despite its iconic status, the building appears to have had little influence on New York City architecture.
Wright intended to build an museum that broke with conventional museum architecture, a symbol of a new era in the display of art. There were to be, he said, "clean beautiful spaces throughout the building, all beautifully proportioned to human scale." Put another way, Wright constructed a museum suitable for the founder's collection of non-objective art. Despite much controversy whether that aim was accomplished (many eminent artists derided the building initialy), Wright designed a building as innovative as the art it contains. The fact that is still startles us after nearly fifty years testifies to his success.
Considered by many the most significant building of Wright's late period.
There is little doubt that this is building of great significance, an icon to a great architect's unique vision of modern architecture. That it also houses an important cultural institution contributes to its value.
The building has been extensively published. There follows a very brief list of some of the more useful publications:
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum - Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, New York: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1960.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum - Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, New York: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1975.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Collection, 1994.

AppleBitch was first to spot that Apple's annual WWDC will likely be held on June 5-9th this year and is marked by the typical 'Corporate Meeting' placeholder. They note that no other time in the schedule would fit Apple's usual parameters.
WWDC is traditionally when Apple announces new iPhones as well as releases final major versions of the iOS software. Setteb.it notes that June 6th would be a likely day for a Keynote. Though Steve Jobs presence is in question, the timeframe of these announcements shouldn't be. (via Setteb.it)

The TSA's True Focus Isn't 'Safety' - It's Self-Preservation
from the give-'em-a-inch-and-they'll-take-a-mile-(and-your-plastic-sword) deptDespite its own worst efforts, the TSA doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Year after year, horror story after horror story surfaces, detailing abuse of American citizens at the hands (very often literally) of TSA agents. If they're not poking, prodding, fondling or carelessly tossing supposed explosives into a trash can five feet away, they're confiscating harmless plastic swords while allowing loaded handguns on board. If they're not digging around in someone's laptop searching for who knows what, they're "diverting" iPads into their personal collections.
A report by the Government Accounting Office (GAO) suggests that the TSA's main focus isn't safety, it's self-preservation. As yearly budget reviews loom, the TSA suddenly needs to "look busy" and justify its continued existence. Anything that might cut back its funding is briefly humored and then discarded. (via Reason 24/7)
Congress in 2002 set up a program giving airports the option of having private employees conduct screening operations. Unfortunately, TSA was put in charge of deciding which locations could participate. A total of 16 out of 440 commercial airports nationwide got into the program before TSA Administrator John S. Pistole slammed the door shut last year.Keeping private companies out of government operations ensures a steady flow of tax dollars. While taxpayers might appreciate the relief, the TSA isn't interested in dividing the pie into more slices that it absolutely has to. While it maintains its (again, very often literal) stranglehold on airport security, the airports it "services" are losing business directly as a result of its frequent bad behavior. As the GAO states, "Passengers who have negative encounters with the screening process generally associate their experiences with the specific airport."
Private companies would be forced to follow the hated TSA procedures, but even with these limitations, the Department of Homeland Security isn't interested in taking on new "partners."
[T]op Democrats want the TSA to continue rejecting applications to the program "until the costs and possible benefits can be accurately assessed," as Rep. Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi, the ranking member on the House Homeland Security Committee, urged.Kind of tough to assess costs and benefits if you're unwilling to actually let the program run. This lockout extends further than private companies looking to get into the airport security business. The deck is stacked against private screeners, whose performance is assessed by the one entity that is relying on their failure to stay in the money.
Right now, the performance of private screeners is assessed under a process directed by TSA. It's not particularly surprising that this government agency is going to do everything it can to limit potential competition. Congressional auditors found, "TSA has not conducted regular reviews comparing private and federal screener performance and does not have plans to do so." The agency isn't about to document its own relative failure.In fact, the TSA does all it can to keep from being criticized. Here's how the traveler complaint process "works:"
At Ronald Reagan Airport, for example, angry flyers aren't given a form they can turn in on the spot to document their concerns. Instead, they're handed a tiny, easily lost sliver of paper containing TSA's website and mailing address.Ah, technology... wait... what? A slip of paper that contains the TSA's website URL? If the TSA actually was interested in feedback, it could easily set up a kiosk where travelers could file a complaint electronically with reports that could be viewed and acted on daily. Instead, it justs hands out something of use to nobody and hopes that time and distance either takes the traveler out of the complaining mood or makes the details unreliably fuzzy. The TSA benefits from its neo-Luddite approach which keeps complaints to an absolute minimum, a quasi-fact it frequently references when defending itself against any complaints that somehow make it through.
All of these actions have allowed the TSA to rake in nearly $8 billion a year without having done a single thing to improve its policies, protect travelers or prevent terrorism.

This is Ava everyone.
ok well i thought it was time i made a little build thread to keep track of the progress of my celica.
* * Story behind it is my uncle bought it brand new way back in 1991. He lives over in Victoria so he did a lot of back and forth driving from the island to where the rest of the family lives, in Vancouver. As a kid i always thought that he had the coolest car ever!! The sleek look and styling of the Celica just amazed me.
* * Fast forward to when i was 15, almost 16 and looking at getting a vehicle. I was actually tossing back and forth between my dads old ford pickup, rusted around the wheel wells, but wanted to slam and make into a lowrider but i thought the truck was way past its prime or a civic hatchback *:.
* * So having another uncle who works at a car dealership he "advised" my mom that civics were just tin cans and that i shouldnt get one. haha and my mom listened to him... crappy part was i found someone selling a 300hp turboed civic. (probably would have just bought some one elses headache) oh well im glad i didn't get it because suddenly my uncle decided he was going to get rid of his celica.
* * *Went to the dealership and they offered him $3500 for it. I told him I'd give him the $3500. Before you know it , its all mine... ALL MINE!!! haha here are pics of when i first got it.

Core Knowledge in France
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- -- --- --- --- --- --- ---
The following letter was submitted to Core Knowledge by a teacher in France, whose complaints about her country's education system closely parallel many of the comments we receive from American teachers. Although certain content in a French curriculum may differ markedly from the equivalent content-based curriculum in the United States, Françoise Appy and her husband find the basic concepts behind the Core Knowledge Sequence and the work of E. D. Hirsch, Jr., to be applicable in many ways to the French educational system.
My name is Françoise Appy and I am a teacher in a primary school in the south of France. Until the 1960s, France had a good educational system that was the envy of many countries. However, a pedagogical revolution then occurred, which transformed our system — previously based on transmitting knowledge — into a new system based on constructivism in which the child was supposed to "build his own knowledge." The French experts then introduced a new discipline called Education Sciences, which in turn brought on more bad ideas that have since proven to be bad. Today, the French educational system is in its worst state ever, yet it seems that only a few teachers are struggling for to make improvement. They gather in different groups and try to spread their ideas through various media. We had some little victories like, recently, the official return to syllabic reading as a learning method.
My husband Bernard, who is also a teacher, and I have created our website in order to reach people, present our ways of teaching, give advice to beginners, and inform others of what is going on in the educational world. We recommend a way of teaching similar to Direct Instruction with an ambitious curriculum.
We would really like French schools to become leaders in the twenty-first century world. American teachers seem to have realized the failure of their educational system about fifteen years ago and are now trying new ways. I've recently discovered E. D. Hirsch's book, The Schools We Need. The analysis and proposals are very rich and accurate, and this how I found the Core Knowledge Foundation. We would like to contact teachers who practice Core Knowledge methods, exchange ideas with them, and start spreading these ideas around France. We invite teachers to visit our website and publish their temoignages [case studies or anecdotes] in our special page about Direct Instruction (pédagogies explicites).
