3D Design Software 101
While MakerBot operators are more than happy to print the tens of thousands of incredible objects posted to Thingiverse, eventually many want to get started designing models of their own.
Your mission: to create a solid, manifold (watertight) STL-formatted file for importing into MakerWare or ReplicatorG. STL is the most widely used format for stereolithographic CAD files, so the design application options are vast.
ReplicatorG also offers experimental file import capability for OBJ and Collada, two other widely used formats, although the files are then converted to STL, and MakerWare supports OBJ as well as STL. You can also download 3D swiss army knife tools like MeshLab and netfabb Studio Basic, which can open dozens of different file formats and export them as binary or ASCII STL files, opening up even more models to ReplicatorG.
The 3D design field expands quickly, and a tremendous range of new tools and techniques are constantly being created for every platform, so we rely on MakerBot Operators to report back and let us know about their favorite new apps, scripts and plugins, and how they're using them to make the work they're doing with their Makerbots more successful and rewarding. Below are a few of the options we're familiar with.
Choosing your Hammer
To get started building a model, you'll need some good tools. There are lots of powerful, free, and open source design tools to choose from. Our favorites include 3dtin.com, Tinkercad.com, Sketchup, OpenSCAD, Wings3D, Scupltris, Autodesk 123D, and the outstanding, open source Blender project.
POV-ray (excellent tutorials here), FreeCAD, HeeksCAD, and Art of Illusion also have serious fans in the 3D printing world, too, but we haven't done much experimenting with them yet.
And not everyone uses traditional 3D modeling software -- some of the most sophisticated organic and procedural models on Thingiverse were created using scripts and plugins created for programming environments and other applications. Marius Watz's ModelBuilder library and Guru's CookieCutter-Editor are popular examples of the incredible diversity of tools developed for 3D printing using the programming language Processing. Kyle McDonald has been developing software and pipelines for rapid 3D scanning with an off-the-shelf Microsoft Kinect via KinectToSTL created in openFrameworks. Marty McGuire's Inkscape-Openscad-Poly tool lets you use a 2D illustration tool -- in this case, the mature open source app Inkscape -- to lean on the parametric design tool OpenSCAD to create 3D models.
There are lots of commercial solid CAD, modeling, and sculpting apps: Rhino, LightWave, Cinema4D, Autocad, Inventor, Maya, 3DS Max, Mudbox, Creo, Modo, ZBrush, Mathematica, and SolidWorks are probably the biggest players in the field. The cost for licensing the pricier applications from this list tends to require that you build a business around a set suite of tools, but the trade-offs for optimized workflow, professional grade rendering and effects, and seamless pipeline from app-to-app are worth it to many users.
But there's no need to spend upwards of $1k on design software. Every month new and more affordable 3D CAD, modeling, scanning and sculpting applications emerge for every platform, including iOS and Android. Try the inexpensive Alibre Personal Edition, Cheetah3D (mac only), and bonzai3d, for starters. Mac users can apply for the popular Rhino beta for free (for a limited time), after which pricing is rumored to be very competitive.
On your mark, get set...
Below is a handy five step exercise for brand new designers to get their feet wet with 3D modeling.
Grab an object in the real world you can drag over to your computer (a coffee mug works great). Launch a browser and go to 3dtin.com and build a model of your object, construct it out of simple building blocks("voxels" -- the 3D version of pixels). We have a few tips and tricks for using 3DTin here and here on the MakerBot blog. When you're done with your model, export it as an STL file. And while you're at it, why not take advantage of the option to save it directly to Thingiverse?
You aren't done yet! Take your exported STL and open it in MakerWare or ReplicatorG. Slice and print it out, taking advantage of the simple STL manipulation tools in either program to scale the object and orient it on the platform so as to minimize overhangs. Make sure to use the Move > Put on Platform tool to make sure that your model is firmly seated on the surface of the platform.
Even if you think your model is terrible, go ahead and print it. It's hard to judge results by computer visualizations of models, and the printed results may well teach you different lessons than you expect. Anyway, you're not done with this model yet.
Level two!
Download and install Wings3D, a powerful subdivision modeler, or the highly-capable Blender. Now you can import the STL you created in 3DTin and view it from all angles. Familiarize yourself with the process of selecting points, lines, faces or entire objects and experiment with the range of tools available, deforming elements of your original model. Both tools offer keyboard shortcut resources to help you speed up your process and settle into a more natural modeling workflow.
You may find yourself frustrated at first -- it can seem like every change you make is either too pronounced or almost nonexistent -- but as you get used to restricting motion to a single axis or type of selection adjustment and locate tools for adding additional vertices and edges to your model, you will gain more nuanced control.
After playing around with your original model for a while, export an STL of the new version with a different name. You can even log in to Thingiverse and add this second model as an STL to the 3DTin design you put up earlier.
And you know what to do with it now: print it!
Level Up: Level Three!
Now start a new empty file in Wings3D or Blender, and attempt to recreate the same model from scratch using whatever methods of manipulation work best for you. Don't be afraid to "brute-force it" with only a few transform tools at your disposal -- Grab/Move, Extrude, Cut, and Add Edge Loop, for example, will get you pretty far. Remember, it's better to wade into the design process right away than to wait until you've learned everything there is to know about the program.
Once you get comfortable manipulating your model, do a search for resources on "topology" and "edge flow" for your tool of choice. There are plenty of places where you can find excellent free resources; one we like is BlenderCookie. Typically, designers get more out of these higher-order resources after they've had a chance to experiment a little with the basics. It's intimidating to see professionals efficiently navigate dozens of complicated tools, and you might be tempted to buy phone book-sized textbooks and comprehensive tutorials for the programs you want to learn, but you'll build your list of at-hand tools more efficiently through experimentation than memorization.
Level Four: Parametric Bonus Round
Join the OpenSCAD parametric design revolution! MakerBot's own Marius Kintel now maintains OpenSCAD, and he's been hard at work extending and improving it. Have a look at MakerBlock's excellent OpenSCAD tutorials -- even if you don't plan to design with parametrics in mind, exposure to this tool via the tutorial series will teach you quite a bit about 3D modeling and the power of constructive solid geometry, which is applicable to any number of other programs.
You'll be able to export STLs during the tutorials. What do you do with them? Print them.
Level Five: Reflection Round
Now that you have a handful of models, let's take stock. What's working? What isn't? One of the real advantages to 3D printing with a MakerBot is that you can print each model over and over, cheaply and without much fuss. Take the information you have learned from your print back into your design work and continue to explore.
You've also had a chance to experiment with some different tools and to learn some basic techniques. Now you're ready to hunt for tutorials and blog posts to help you learn more complicated techniques, like managing "edge-flow," setting up "mirroring," and using smoothing and subdividing tools to generate the surfaces you have in mind.
Tell Us About Your Hammers (and Your Houses)
Have you been using other tools you'd like us to know about? Send screenshots, notes about your experiences, and links to Thingiverse things to email@example.com
And don't forget to tag your Thingiverse objects with the software you used to create it - that will help people to learn more about your design process.

Republican opposition to raising the debt ceiling increased the government's borrowing costs by $1.3 billion in fiscal year 2011, and costs will continue to rise in the future, a report from the Government Accountability Office found. The U.S. Treasury was forced to take varying actions to avoid hitting the debt limit before Congress raised it in August, forcing borrowing costs higher on multiple Treasury securities, the report found. And because many of those securities "will remain outstanding for years to come," the borrowing costs will continue to rise in the near future. The debt limit fight also caused the first-ever downgrade of America's credit rating, which Standard & Poor's blamed on Republican unwillingness to raise taxes as part of a debt reduction deal.

The Phils won a wild one last night, topping the Padres 7-5 in 13 innings.
Cole Hamels had an ugly start, allowing five runs over six innings. The Phils went into the seventh down 5-2, but scored an unearned run in that frame and got a two-run homer from Delmon Young in the eighth to tie the game at 5-5. In the top of the 13th they scored a pair of unearned runs with the help of Logan Forsythe errors, putting them on top to stay.
The bullpen, which has been atrocious this year, was outstanding in the game. Hamels left after six innings and was followed by five Phillie relievers who combined to toss seven shutout innings.
The Phillies are 38-41 on the year after beating the San Diego Padres 7-5 in 13 innings last night. The Phillies take the series two games to one. Since the end of the day on April 25, the Phillies have gone 29-27, which ties them with the Braves for the best record in the NL East. They started the year by going 9-14, though, which has them in third place in the division, seven games behind the first-place Braves.
Hamels got the start for the Phillies and went six innings, allowing five runs, four earned, on seven hits and two walks. Five of the hits went for extra-bases, four doubles and a home run. He struck out five.
Hamels has the worst numbers of his career after 17 starts. Worst ERA (4.58) and worst ratio (1.30). He has a 4.97 ERA and a 1.34 ratio over his last nine starts.
Up 1-0, he walked Carlos Quentin with two outs in the bottom of the first. He struck Chase Headley out swinging to leave Quentin at first.
The Phils led 2-0 when Hamels set the Padres down in order in the second.
Pedro Ciriaco bunted for a single to start the third and scored on a one-out double by Logan Forsythe to cut the lead to 2-1. Chris Denorfia was next and lined a single to right. Delmon Young didn't handle the ball and it rolled over to Mayberry in center. Forsythe scored (2-2) and Young was charged with an error. Hamels got Quentin and Headly on a pair of fly balls to keep Denorfia at first.
Young wasn't going to catch Denorfia's ball, but the Phillies got pretty lucky it wound up so close to Mayberry after he kicked it.
Hamels struck out Kyle Blanks and Yasmani Grandal in a 1-2-3 fourth.
He got the first two to start the fifth before Forsythe doubled to right-center. It brought Denorfia to the plate and Denorfia hit a 2-0 pitch out to left, putting the Padres up 4-2. Quentin grounded to third for the third out.
Righties Forsythe and Denorfia go double/HR back-to-back off of Hamels with two outs and nobody on. Righties are slugging .467 against him this year and .397 for his career.
Headley and Blanks doubled back-to-back to start the sixth, with Blanks's double scoring Headley to make it 5-2. Hamels got the next two batters before walking Ciriaco intentionally to pitch to the pitcher Robbie Erlin. Erlin went down swingin to leave Blanks at second.
The lead was cut to 5-3 when JC Ramirez set the Padres down in order in the seventh.
Ramirez was back for the eighth with the game tied at 5-5 and threw another 1-2-3 frame on three ground balls.
Second appearance of the year for Ramirez. He hasn't allowed a hit or a walk to the nine batters he has faced while striking out four over three innings.
Aumont started the ninth and walked the leadoff man Grandal on five pitches. Will Venable ran for Grandal at first and Ciriaco bunted. Aumont fielded and threw to second in time to force Venable for the first out. Lefty Mark Kotsay hit for the pitcher Dale Thayer and grounded to second for the second out with Ciriaco moving up to second. Aumont got behind Forsythe 3-0 and then put him on intentionally, leaving runners on first and second with two down for Denorfia. Denorfia flew to center to end the inning.
You really, really don't want to walk the leadoff batter in the bottom of the ninth in a tie game, but Aumont gets away with it here with the help of the failed sacrifice by Ciriaco.
Aumont came back to throw a 1-2-3 tenth.
Two scoreless innings for Aumont in which he walks two. He's walked 12 in 15 innings for the year. First appearance for him with the Phillies since May 20.
Diekman pitched the eleventh. He allowed a one-out single to Nick Hundley. Ciriaco followed and grounded to short with Diekman forced at second for the second out. Lefty Alexi Amarista hit for the pitcher Tim Stauffer and Diekman got him on a fly ball to Mayberry to set the Padres down.
Diekman gets a break as San Diego calls on the lefty Amarista to hit for the pitcher. He allows a hit in his scoreless inning. Still hasn't walked a batter in five innings over six appearances, but opponents have hit .348 against him.
Savery struck out Quentin in a 1-2-3 twelfth.
2.25 ERA and a 1.00 ratio for Savery after eight innings over six appearances. Righties are hitting 136/208/273 against him.
Papelbon started the thirteenth with the Phillies on top 7-5. Jesus Guzman singled to left with two outs and took second on defensive indifference. Hundley hit as the tying run, but Papelbon struck him out swinging 2-2 to end the game.
Only outing of Papelbon's last four in which he wasn't charged with a run.
Overall the pen went seven scoreless innings in the game, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out four. Aumont threw 31 pitches and Ramirez 21. Everyone else was 15 or lower.
The Phillie lineup against lefty Robbie Erlin went (1) Rollins (2) Utley (3) Michael Young (4) Howard (5) Brown (6) Delmon Young (7) Mayberry (8) Ruiz. Mayberry in center against the lefty with Revere on the bench. Delmon Young plays right.
Utley singled to left with one out in the top of the first and scored when Michael Young followed with a double to center, putting the Phils up 1-0. Howard moved Young up to third with a ground out to first, but Brown grounded to first to end the inning.
Delmon Young doubled to left to start the second. He took third on a fly out by Mayberry and tagged and scored when Ruiz flew to center for the second out. 2-0. Hamels struck out looking to set the Phillies down.
Utley and Michael Young both struck out as the Phils went in order in the third.
The Phillies went in order again in the fourth with the game tied at 2-2. Howard and Delmon Young both struck out in the frame.
Howard has struck out 13 times in his last 29 plate appearances (about 44.8%).
Ruiz walked with one out in the fifth and Hamels bunted him up to second with the second out. Rollins lined to short to end the frame.
The Phils were down 4-2 when they went in order in the sixth. Howard struck out swinging for the third out.
It was 5-2 when Brown singled to center to start the seventh. Erlin struck Delmon Young out swinging for the first out and righty Nick Vicent came in to pitch to Mayberry. Mayberry struck out looking for the second out before Ruiz moved Brown up to second with a single to left. Frandsen hit for Hamels and hit a foul ball that should have set the Phillies down, but Blanks just dropped it for an error. It gave Frandsen another chance and he singled to right, scoring Brown (5-3) and moving Ruiz up to second. Lefty Joe Thatcher took over for Vincent and got Utley on a ground ball to leave the runners stranded.
The error by Blanks gives the Phils an extra out and Frandsen gets them a run with the two-out single.
Brown continues to hit well against lefties, singling off of Erlin to start the frame. He's hitting 301/333/575 against left-handed pitching for the year.
Brown doubled softly to right off of Thatcher with two outs in the eighth. Righty Luke Gregerson came in to pitch to Delmon Young and Young homered to left on a 1-2 pitch, tying the game at 5-5. Mayberry grounded to third to set the Phillies down.
Righty Dale Thayer set the Phils down in order in the ninth. Nix hit for Ramirez and struck out looking for the second out.
Nix is 0-for-his-last-4 with four strikeouts.
Righty Tim Stauffer set the Phillies down in order in the tenth and again in the eleventh.
Ruiz singled off of righty Huston Street to start the twelfth. Galvis hit for Diekman and bunted, but the first baseman Guzman fielded and threw to second in time to get Ruiz for the first out. Rollins hit into a double-play to set the Phillies down.
Galvis can't sacrifice Ruiz up to second. He's 11-for-his-last-78 (.141) going back to May 25.
Lefty Tommy Layne started the thirteenth for the Padres and hit the leadoff man Utley. Michael Young flew to right for the first out and Howard flew to left for the second. Brown was next and drew a walk, putting men on first and second with two outs for Revere. Revere hit a 2-2 pitch pretty hard on the ground towards right. Forsythe tried to field it moving to his first, but booted the ball, then fell down. Utley tried to score from second, so Forsythe picked the ball up and threw home. The ball and Utley arrived at the plate at the same time. It hit Utley and bounded away. Utley was safe (6-5) and Brown was able to score from first. 7-5. Forsythe was charged with two errors on the play, one for the boot and one throwing home to try to get Utley. The throw home was fine, it just hit the runner. It left Revere on second with two outs for Mayberry. Mayberry hit a ball up the middle. Ciriaco made a nice diving play to stop the ball from getting into the outfield. Revere tried to score from second, but was thrown out by a wide margin to end the frame.
Utley starts the rally with a hit-by-pitch, reminding that he led the NL in that category three years in a row from '07 to '09 and was third in '10 and again in '11.
Phillies just got lucky to score two runs on what should have been a ground out to second. Revere had a nice eight-pitch at-bat and battled, but made a bad base-running play to get thrown out at home on the ball hit by Mayberry.
Rollins was 0-for-5 with a walk in the game. 2-for-13 with two singles and two walks in the three-game set. 257/322/361 for the year. Watch out for his isolated power, which is in danger of going under .100. .159 for his career.
Utley 1-for-5 and hit by a pitch. 4-for-13 with two walks, a hit by pitch and a home run in the series. 231/310/385 in 29 plate appearances since his return. 266/335/462 for the year.
Michael Young 1-for-6 with an RBI-double in the first. 3-for-16 with a double in the series. 281/342/396 on the year. Notable Phillies slugging under .400 for the season include Michael Young, Rollins and Ruiz.
Howard 0-for-6 and struck out three times. 0-for-10 with five strikeouts in the set. In the starting lineup against a left-handed pitcher and hitting cleanup, but ends the day with a 175/225/297 line against left-handed pitching for the year. He's struck out in about 46.2% of his chances against lefties this season and his .225 on-base percentage against them benefits from two hit-by-pitches. He's hammering righties to the tune of 309/363/545 and striking out in only about 23.7% of his chances against righties. 272/325/475 for the year overall.
Brown goes 2-for-5 with a double and a walk and scores three runs. 4-for-14 with two walks, a double and a home run in the set. 276/324/545 for the year.
Delmon Young 2-for-4 with an error, a double and a two-run homer. Ties the game in the eight with his two-run shot. 3-for-7 in the series. 230/284/419 for the year. Hitting just 200/293/343 against lefties. That's problem if you're going to be a terrible defensive player who can't hit righties.
Mayberry 1-for-6. 5-for-13 with a double in the series. Four walks in his last 109 plate appearances and a .310 on-base percentage for the year. 260/310/434 on the season.
Ruiz 2-for-3 with a walk. 6-for-11 with a walk in the series. 273/310/299 on the year. Two extra-base hits in 84 plate appearances, both doubles.
Pettibone (3-3, 4.14) faces righty Zack Greinke (4-2, 3.79) tonight in LA. Opponents are hitting .295 against Pettibone for the year. Lefties 316/394/463. He's threw to a 3.00 ERA over his first six starts, but a 5.46 ERA over his last six. Seven strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings over his last four outings. Greinke has been very good in three of his last four starts and allowed five runs in five innings against the Pirates in the other. He hasn't allowed a home run to a right-handed batter in his 57 innings this season.

i have, but i'm not going to share that c;
that's not going to stretch you out, but it sounds like you enjoy playing with your clit. don't worry, most girls do ;3
in my country, the legal age is sixteen. i'm not sure about others though.
thank you so much, it means a lot c:
why thank you :'3
well, that's really up to opinion. both are pretty darn great. with masturbation, you know exactly what you love and how to get it. but with sex, it's just raw pleasure with your significant other.
i've never said it's revolting. i just think it's better to wait until you're of age because you may think it's a good idea at the time but later on you realize you were wrong. as long as you're both really sure you're ready, then there's nothing really wrong with it.
thank you! and it basically means a girl isn't a stick. guys really love curves, and love handles mean curves. and back dimples are just attractive. don't know why, but they're appealing!
thank you! and yes, you can. so always try to get checked out with each sexual partner and urge them to do the same.
it's not bad to not use lube/lotion, but not too long otherwise it might cause a bit of irritation.

The Jets and Washington Capitals engaged in a good old Southeast Division end-to-end wide-open affair, something Jets fans won't see much of anymore with the Jets now in the tighter-checking Western Conference.
After Monday's comments by Coach Claude Noel that it's work first and skill second, and that more "A" games are needed, the Jets responded with a 47-shot effort. If not for terrific goaltending by Braden Holtby the Jets would have had two points in regulation. The players said the right things in the morning and went out and performed. Here are some of the comments after the morning skate.
"Each guy has to be a difference maker." - Olli Jokinen
"Make yourself accountable first" – Zach Bogosian
"React the right way. A lot of us can say we haven't been good enough." – Andrew Ladd
Captain Ladd had three assists in the game on a line with Bryan Little (two goals, five on the season) and Devin Setoguchi. Little's first goal was shorthanded, the Jets first of the season and tied the game at one. The second period featured six goals (three apiece) after a scoreless first period. The Jets had three second period goals in the previous nine games. Mikhail Grabovski had opened the scoring, the eighth time in 10 games the Jets have surrendered the game's first goal.
Grant Clitsome with his first gave the Jets the lead before two by Alex Ovechkin regained the lead for Washington. Blake Wheeler on a line with Evander Kane and Mark Scheifele tied it with 39 seconds left in the period. Overall, the Jets fired 19 shots at Holtby in the second period.
Washington again took the lead early in the third on a power play goal by Troy Brouwer. The Caps have the NHL's best power play and went 1-for-5 in the game. The Jets were 0-for-3 and have now gone five straight games without a power play goal after scoring one in each of the first five games. Little tied the game at 7:04, overtime did not produce a winner and it was off to the shootout.
The Jets won a seven-round shootout Friday against St. Louis, but unlike Friday - when Ondrej Pavelec stopped the last five Blues shooters - tonight it was the last four Washington shooters scoring to give the Caps the win in a six-round shootout. Martin Erat scored the deciding goal. For the Jets, in order, it was Wheeler (miss), Little (miss), Ladd (goal), Jokinen (goal), Setoguchi (goal), Kane (miss).
It was Ladd's fourth career three-assist game, while Ovechkin continues to feast on this franchise with 40 goals and 80 points in 54 games. From a Jets standpoint maybe it's a good thing they only see him twice a year now.
Kane led the Jets in ice time with a career-high 28:41. He had six shots on goal, two blocked and six that missed the net. Little also had six shots on goal and won 16 of 23 face-offs. Scheifele was 57 per cent in the face-off circle and probably had his best game as a pro. Michal Frolik also had six shots on goal.
Much of the post-game talk had to do with missed opportunities. Over and above the 47 shots, the Jets had at least another 10 Grade-A chances that missed the net. Ladd talked about not finishing, Kane about creating a lot of scoring opportunities, Wheeler about the positives outweighing the negatives.
Coach Noel followed his players up.
"We had a lot of opportunities to go ahead in the game. It would have been good to take advantage of some of those good chances," Noel said.
He liked a lot about the game, from the leadership of Ladd to the physical game his team played.
"I liked our line combos, we had good resiliency to keep coming back, we got offense from some people who were frustrated. We got a point and got a lot of better play from a lot of players."
General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff was a guest on TSN Jets after the first period and talked about needing more consistency from the team. As for the upcoming four-game road trip, he said: "Too often you look at the big picture. You can't win the big picture – you win what's in front of you."
That would be Thursday in Nashville (TSN Jets, TSN 1290). The Jets finished the six-game home stand 2-3-1 and are now 4-5-1 on the season.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We are having an October wedding in Salem, Ma. Our colors are black, gold, and ivory so we were looking for something to match of course. I wanted the main color to be black with gold writing and a lot of other sites didn't have this. The foil stamps really gave these invitations something extra which we loved. The artist was wonderful to work with, we went back and forth via email a couple times and they really make sure you get exactly what you want. I would definitely order from wedding paper divas again!"
"I am so excited to send these out to my family and friends. The perfect invitation for my special day. My husband to be loves them."
"If you order the light pink, it is actually Peach. Just beware, color is not as depicted in the images. Beautiful, but very different."
"I was torn trying to decide between all the different designs. I finally settled on this one in the darker tones for a fall wedding. They are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend getting the pearlized feature. It gives it that extra bit of "fancy" for being a more informal invitation. The designer even helped me add my parent's names to this invitation when I thought there wouldn't be any room."
"Exquisite, beautiful invitation printed on quality paper. Photo quality is impressive! Very satisfied with design and quality of product!!"

Stocks decline on eurozone concerns
The ECB downplays a report about planned bond buying to stem the region's debt crisis. Aetna will buy Coventry Health in a $5.7 billion deal. Lowe's slumps on weak earnings. Apple hits a new high as Facebook is up from new low.
Updated at 12:12 p.m. ET
Stocks pared earlier losses Monday that stemmed from concerns over the eurozone debt crisis. Aetna (AET) confirmed plans to buy rival Coventry Health Care (CVH) in a $5.7 billion deal. Meanwhile, Apple (AAPL) hit a new high, and Facebook (FB) recovered after hitting a new low earlier.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was down 7 points at 13,268. The S&P 500 ($INX) was down 2 points at 1,417. The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) was down 2 points at 3,075.
Stock markets, despite trading at seasonally low volumes and without much movement, continued their slow summer rally last week. The S&P 500 closed at 1,418 Friday in its sixth week of gains, approaching four-year highs.
The upcoming week
The Federal Reserve is set to release the minutes from its July meeting on Tuesday. Although the Fed didn't announce another round of easing at the meeting, investors will look for clues about whether it will initiate certain stimulus measures at the end of the month, when Chairman Ben Bernanke speaks at a Jackson Hole, Wyo.
More housing data are also on tap this week, with reports out about new and existing home sales, as well as housing prices. Durable goods orders, which show bookings for long-lasting goods, is set to be released Friday.
Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are scheduled to announce financial results this week.

Europe remains in focus
The situation in Europe will continue to take center stage as several meetings about the eurozone's debt problems take place this week.
Attention is returning to Greece, which will ask to postpone the implementation of new austerity measures. French President François Hollande is set to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Thursday. Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras will meet Merkel on Friday and Hollande on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the disagreement between the European Central Bank and Germany's central bank widened. The German magazine Der Spiegel reported over the weekend about an intervention method the ECB was considering to help contain the eurozone debt crisis, namely unlimited buying of bonds of eurozone countries if their borrowing costs rose over certain predetermined levels. Not only did the Bundesbank criticize the measure, but the ECB later downplayed the report, adding to investor concerns.
European stock markets fell Monday after the ECB downplayed the bond buying report. Asian stocks finished mostly lower Monday, with Chinese data pointing to rising housing prices, which could prevent policy makers from cutting interest rates.
Stocks to watch
Aetna (AET), the third-biggest U.S. health insurance provider, confirmed plans to buy Coventry Health Care (CVH) for $5.7 billion in cash and stock. Aetna is paying $42.08 a share, a 20% premium to Coventry's shares as of Friday's close. The deal is valued at $7.3 billion. Coventry's shares surged 18% in premarket trading, while Aetna's shares rose 4.5%.
Struggling retailer Best Buy (BBY) on Monday named the head of Carlson, French national Hubert Joly, as its new chief executive to succeed current interim CEO Mike Mikan in early September. Meanwhile, Reuters reported that talks between Best Buy and its founder, Richard Schulze, over taking the company private have broken down after the company said Schulze had rejected its offer to conduct due diligence.
Lowe's (LOW) reported a 10% drop in fiscal-second-quarter earnings as the second-largest home improvement retailer saw its margins squeezed, while same-store sales declined slightly. The company also cut its projections for the year.
Sirius XM (SIRI) shares were active in early trading as Bloomberg reported that Liberty Media said in a filing to the Federal Communications Commission after trading ended last week that it can take control of the radio provider within 60 days of receiving approval for the transfer from the regulator.
Apple (AAPL) hit a new high ahead of its expected product launches, as Facebook (FB) hit a new low after a judge has rejected its settlement of a class-action suit regarding sponsored stories. Meanwhile, another 1.44 billion shares to be freed up through November will put even more pressure on the shares.
Wal-Mart (WMT) said it is bringing back layaway a month early, giving U.S. shoppers under economic pressure more time to pay for holiday gifts.
Early backers of Groupon (GRPN), including Silicon Valley veteran Marc Andreessen, are now selling their shares, The Wall Street Journal reported, losing faith in the comapny.

Not too long ago I was poor. I have been working since I was 9 years old (I had a paper route, mowed lawns, shoveled snow, carried grocieries...). In my teenage and early twenties, I had to scrape by week in and week out. I drove a crappy car with no a/c, radio, and bald tires. I worked two jobs and a lot of entry level work. However, along the way, I went to school, got an education, moved into better and better jobs, and am now working on my Doctorate. The formula is hard, but simple. Hard work, sacrifice and always looking for ways to better oneslelf is not the secret of success -- it is the recipe for success.
If you don't believe in the idea of democracy, why do you vote?
If you'd prefer that corporations make the laws, why do you vote?
If you believe in free speech, why do you condemn the voices of others?
If you believe that "all men are created equal", why do you condone the silencing of dissenting opinions?
The problems in the Euro zone (and in America for that matter) are systemic. Any system that promotes only debt and consumption is doomed.
The producers are portrayed as evil. While you see so very many ads asking "What's in your wallet?". We promote debt and consumption and denigrate hard productive work.
Will this change soon? I doubt it, like an addict we will need to hit "rock bottom" first.
The Dow should hit 200,000 by the end of the year.
With Japan's central bank printing money like crazy to cover Japan's national debt and Bernanke printing money like crazy to keep the stock market up and cover our $16 trillion government debt
And now with European Central Banks gearing up their printing machines.
Get ready for a quick ride to the top before the reality that we are not going to be able to buy anything made overseas as those countries have already kicked the dollar to the curb.
Yep unless we nuke china pretty much we are doomed economically folks.
The Dems had FULL control the first two years (08-09) and what did they do?
PASS OBAMA CARE and PASS OBAMA CIVILITY PLEA and PASS GAS...
They lost in 2010 as they will lose this year and only then civility will come back.
ANYONE, how will you RE-PAY OUR NATIONAL DEBT??? No pickle juice here!!!
I repeat:
"The US is the best place to live until you live somewhere else for a few years...
like Canada for example.
Obama is going to make rich people flee this country if ever he gets re-elected."
NOW, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF...? Losing your job if Obama gets re-elected?
THE RICH WILL NOT HELP YOU, because you are not helping yourself.
Floating: "If government is such a sham and so evil, why do you vote?
If you don't believe in the idea of democracy, why do you vote?
If you'd prefer that corporations make the laws, why do you vote?
If you believe in free speech, why do you condemn the voices of others?
If you believe that "all men are created equal", why do you condone the silencing of dissenting opinions?"
Government is a tool and like all tools it can either work for you or against you. Acceptance into a society is to take on it's responsibilities and share it's rewards. No man is a island. The fact that the USA is STILL the greatest nation on Earth speaks volumes of how badly it is to live everywhere else. So where do you want to live?

text: Posted Online: Nov. 15, 2012, 6:36 pm Mercer County football built on brotherly love Comment on this story By Daniel Makarewicz, email@example.com More photos from this shoot Photo: Paul Colletti The three Snyder brothers, Logan, Jesse and Zeke, all play offense for the Mercer County Golden Eagles. Twins Logan and Jesse are running backs and younger brother Zeke, a junior, starts as an offensive linemen.The siblings are separated by 13 months in age. ALEDO — Informed that his three sons comprise more than a quarter of the Mercer County football team's offensive starters, Jason Snyder found a serious tone. "That," Snyder said, "is an honor." Nat Zunkel, the Mercer County head coach, offered a different perspective. "If you think about it," Zunkel said, "that's pretty funny." Any way you look at it, the superlatives would not tell the whole story. Most of the time that Mercer County has the ball, Jesse, Logan and Zeke Snyder are inside the huddle. The first two — identical twins — are key components to the Golden Eagles' ground game as senior running backs; the younger brother is a starting junior offensive tackle. Thus, it is possible that one of the twins could follow lead blocks from his two brothers on a touchdown run. "It's really special," Zeke said. "We've really got something going." Part of that involves being a significant portion of the Mercer County offense. "It's not sinking in yet," Jesse said. "When it's over, we'll talk about it — the good things we did and the fun we had." From the outside, the fun appears to be confined to this season. In reality, this trio always has been close. Born 13 months apart, there hardly were days when these three were apart. Sports brought them together, with mom and dad — who both participated in sports back in the day — providing the athletic genes. Football and baseball occupied the backyard, with wrestling taking over on the inside. "There were always two of them doing something," Jason said. "It was 2-against-1, and it was never the same one. We always said we should've had another kid because it would have made things even." Dad jokes that their sectional couch needs repairs from the constant horseplay, but that will happen when all three are out of the house. Until then, the three sons are working toward bringing Aledo its fourth state football championship and its first in a decade. Each of them have a hand in the Golden Eagles' success, with the twins combining for 1,228 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns this season. Jesse has 651 yards; Logan has 577. Logan averages 7.9 yards per carry; Jesse gets 7.7. Obviously, the identical twins are identical in their performance. Then there's Zeke, who dad calls "the bigger little brother." Despite missing last year with a knee injury, Zeke seamlessly moved from tight end to tackle three weeks into the season to provide Mercer County with a key blocker. "I do all the grunt work, you know," Zeke said. During a 15-minute conversation with the three, that was the closest thing to trash talk. The closeness in age and identical looks — even their voices sound similar — keep these three tight. There is a genuine bond and admiration between these brothers, something Zunkel sees as a reason why this team is so close. Brothers will be brothers, but this group has far more good times together than bad. "They have your backs," Logan said. "If you have trouble, you can ask them. They're always there for you." Negative words rarely are spoken. "At the end of the day, we're brothers," Logan said. "We know we have to get along." At the same time, they are teammates. That's something to be treasured. "With all three of them on the field, we've got a lot at stake," Jason said. "We wouldn't trade it for the world. It's been one of the most awesome things." Three brothers. Two running backs. One lineman. One-fourth of the Mercer County offense. "Special," Jason said. "That's why I'm at a loss at trying to describe it. Three? Totally awesome."

Carrot-Ginger Paté
Arbol chiles can pack a lot of heat, so if you prefer, omit them from the cooking process and add a dash of cayenne instead.
2 tablespoons raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
Sea salt
1 teaspoon caraway seed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 medium (about 8 ounces total) carrots
1 dried arbol chile, split in half lengthwise, seeds discarded
1-inch piece fresh ginger
2 teaspoons white or brown rice miso
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Soak the sunflower seeds in a small bowl with water to cover for 30 minutes; drain. Mash to a paste with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle.
While the sunflower seeds are soaking, toast the caraway seed in a small skillet over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant. Grind with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle and allow to cool.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and golden and reduced in volume by about two-thirds. Add the caraway seed, remove the skillet from the heat, cover and cool.
Peel the carrots and cut them into pieces approximately 1/2 inch by 1 inch. Transfer to a large saucepan or small Dutch oven and add 1 teaspoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the chile and 1/4 cup water. Bring almost to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the carrots are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool.
Peel the ginger and cut it into 2 pieces. Use the flat side of a knife to mash it flat, then mince; alternately, grate the ginger.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the carrots to the bowl of a food processor (discard the chile). Add the onion, ginger, sunflower seed paste, the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of oil, and the miso, and process until smooth and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the lemon juice and pulse to combine. Taste, and add salt if needed. Makes about 11/2 cups, 6 servings.

Affluenza: Are You Obsessed with Having More?
The discount giant, Target, had a snappy advertising campaign that was featured on television and in its stores. To the strains of the Roy Orbison classic, "You Got It," Target encouraged consumers to come in for "anything you want" and "anything you need." While most of us can easily distinguish between needing toilet paper and wanting jewelry, when it comes to making purchases for our kids, the lines quickly blur.
Does your child pass a store window exclaiming that she "needs" the latest American Girl doll or the newest limited-edition Disney DVD? Do you find yourself believing that your children need things that clearly will not affect their health, education, or welfare on any level? And despite all your purchases, do you find that your child is often bored and bases his self-worth on what he wears and how much he has?
"You can count true needs on one hand, and you've got an endless supply of wants," says Gary Buffone, a leading advisor to the affluent and author of Choking On The Silver Spoon .
What is Affluenza?
Buffone counsels families who have found that although their children have every material comfort, the children are still unhappy, unmotivated, and unproductive. Experts have coined the term "affluenza" to describe this overwhelming preoccupation with material goods and the emptiness that too much "stuff" engenders.
In their 2002 book, Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic, John DeGraaf, David Wann, and Thomas Naylor define affluenza as "a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste, resulting from the dogged pursuit of more."
Buffone says, "I see affluenza is getting worse. I get more and more calls expressing this concern."
"What you are going to see is that there is going to be an increase in the number of wealthy families in the country over the next few years. You are going to see more and more of these problems."
The problem of affluenza isn't limited, however, to the upper classes in this country. Middle and working classes find themselves caught up in a spiral of never-ending shopping trips and out-of-control credit card bills, all because they are trying to keep up with the neighbors and other parents in their children's schools.
Kathy Vance, a 40-year-old mother of two in New York City, says that while it seems understandable that rich people will spend lots of money, "I'm more interested in why the parents who seem to be more strapped for cash will let kids have everything they want. It beats me." She adds that she finds it amusing that her middle class friends complain about storage when they've bought their children everything that is now cluttering their houses.
"By teaching (children) that they can have what they want when they want it, you are setting them up for a lifetime of misery.

TOMAHAWK, WI (WSAU) - An elderly Tomahawk man is in critical condition following a brush fire Sunday afternoon.
A DNR warden spotted the fire along County T south of Highway 8 and called for help extinguishing the blaze. When the warden moved in to investigate, he spotted the 76 year old man lying in the woods. Tomahawk firefighters arrived to put out the fire and help rescue the man, who was airlifted to Aspirus Wausau Hospital.
According to investigators, it appears the man was burning garbage when the fire got away from him and started the brush fire. The man has not been identified, but it is thought his condition may be medical and not related to the blaze.

School Uniforms
The price war to corner the lucrative school uniform market saw discount supermarkets Lidl and Aldi launch their generic uniform ranges this morning.
At a cost of as low as €6.50 to clothe a pupil, it is a marked change from the days of the local uniform monopoly.
Keelin spoke to Aine Lynch, CEO of the National Parents Council and our reporter Paddy O'Gorman, who has been out speaking to parents on this issue.

Representations of Rural Women in Susan Glaspell's Trifles
Rural American women usually appear as marginal characters in mainstream early twentieth century literature. Susan Glaspell, however, sought to represent the lives and hardships of the simple rural women residing in various regions in America and forgotten by society. In Trifles (1916) the characters were molded after real people residing in the American countryside and the protagonist resembles a real woman involved in a sensational murder case that Glaspell covered during her early days as a journalist. Consequently, most critics link the domestic murder to the playwright's ideals of advocating political rights for women. Moreover, the play written in 1916 preceding the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 is indicative of cultural transformations in American society. Critical opinion, however, varies and Trifles is often regarded as a one-act drama focusing on the individual hardships of women and therefore does not reach an apogee of a political play. However, the play's vivid description of the daily lives of rural women in America and their individual struggle with patriarchy emphasize the play's insistence on the importance of gaining political rights for women as a major theme. The present paper suggests that a reading of the political themes as relevant because the historical setting and the precise account of rural American women living in 1916 were accurately portrayed in the exposition.

"Liberating, and extremely helpful"
I bought this book after a huge row with my wife. I wish I'd bought it earlier. It would have saved me a lot of trouble. This book is practical, challenging, and extremely helpful. It may be short, but it contains essential nuggets of truth that will turn your life the right way up.
I have listened to "Making Marriage Work" several times during my drives to and from work. It's short and relatable. It has helped me to feel hopeful about my relationship when I had been letting myself get bogged down with disappointment and dispair. Working on positive sentiment overload and avoiding the "Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse" have been invaluable tools for me.
"Jam-packed with a lifetime of gems"
I'll keep it short. This guy is the real deal. You can tell he has worked in this industry for decades. The whole thing is packed full of little pearls of wisdom... all based off of REAL research on REAL people. I felt like I was listening to a "cheat sheet" of answers to marriage's major issues. It's short and that's good because he moves quickly and it never drags. It's one powerful point after another. Each point he makes is dead-on correct too!
"For every married couple"
This is a short talk filled with information critical to married people, (actually all relationships). If you care about a relationship, avoid the 4 Horsemen Gottman speaks about. Listen to this talk, it's short, informative and critical.
"This is only a lecture not book, but worthwhile"
This audio lecture is a good overview summary of the authors main book on the 7 principles
Good summary overview
Creates more interest
This is only a lecture so dont expect a full book. But its still useful for a lecture presentation.
"Best 46 minutes you will ever spend"
Highly recommended. Clear, concise and a perfect summary of his longer works. It covers what makes relationships work and what ensures they do not succeed. Good introduction to the rest of Gottman's work. Packed with his key ideas in a nutshell. It helps to hear the author himself give this talk. Seems like a nice bloke. I have all his works and have studied his research.

The Mother's Day card I made for my mom, she is my hero in everything she does!
Thor & Loki Time Travel - credit: http://disney.go.com/create/art/2gs11k6Teyn600001004xgI0-h-8fc3ec
If your looking for the artist's tumblr here you go! http://doodlinjaz.tumblr.com/ Oh and her loki ask blog! :) http://message-the-mischief-maker.tumblr.com/
Have you ever wondered why Loki's eyes are so blue in The Avengers? In fact, Tom Hiddleston's eyes are blue and he had to use green contacts plus effects in Thor. Loki's eyes are blue in The Avengers because of his scepter. The same happened with Hawkeye and Selvig. Loki was very vulnerable when Thor smashed him on the floor. He had a few moments of lucity, just like when Natasha slapped Hawkeye. Thor asked Loki to look around and see the damage he caused, asking to help him. It was a conflic, you can see. Then his eyes became green. You can see in the last gif. The change is VERY notable. It was a conflict, but the power of the Tesseract was stronger. Loki did many bad things, but he was being possessed most of time. NOT like a robot, as with the others, but as said Loki "It touches everyone differently". Everything makes sense to you now? One of the reasons why I can't hate Loki at all. I'm not saying he's not guilty, he is, but the Tesseract's power fueled his hatred. He was being, in fact, controlled. Now we have sure of it.
I shall reblog this on a daily basis
I love that his "gang sign" is "I Love You" in sign language!
I made this for a friend on her birthday, it was a while back, thought i should post it
… and not only did he throw him out a window, he turned him into Captain America as well
I went on my wii today and realized that my mii's are not caught up with my current fandoms, well … thats going to change

Photorearrangement of Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene-2-carbonitrile Observation of 1,2 and 1,3-Sigmatropic Shifts
Date of Award

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
J.J. McCullough
The α,β-unsaturated nitrile, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene-2-carbonitrile, I, was synthesized from norcamphor. Irradiation in hexane with unfiltered light from a medium pressure mercury arc lamp resulted in its conversion to two products, bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-2-ene-1-carbonitrile, II, and tricyclo-[22.214.171.124.³,⁷]heptane-7-carbonitrile, III, in a 20:1 ratio.
[equation removed]
The structure of the major rearrangement product, II, was proven by X-ray crystallography of its crystalline derivative, 1-methylamino-bicyclo-[4.1.0]hept-2-ene-p-bromobenzenesulfonate. The m!nor product, III, was identified by catalytic hydrogenation to 7-cyanobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and vpc comparison with authentic 7-cyanobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane synthesized from bicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-7-carboxylic acid.
The photorearrangement of I to II and III are orbital symmetry-allowed photochemical 1,3 and 1,2-sigmatropic shifts, respectively. The 1,3-sigmatropic shift has not been previously observed in the photochemistry of α,β-unsaturated nitriles while the 1,2 shift was observed in the photorearrangement of 1-cyanocyclohexenes. Further experiments are needed to determine whether or not the rearrangements are concerted or diradical in nature.
Preliminary experiments on the related compound, bicyclo[3.2.0]oct-2ene-3-carbonitrile, IV, synthesized from norbornene, indicate that it probably undergoes the same type of rearrangements as I. The ratio for 1,3,to 1,2 a bond shifts seems to be 3:2 in this case.

The following is an early glimpse into Fisher Investments' 1st Quarter 2012 Stock Market Outlook. Each quarter, Ken Fisher and his firm's Investment Policy Committee (IPC) publish a quarterly report with the firm's latest research and market perspective. To download the full report, visit www.fi.com.
A highly volatile, lackluster year finished on a high note, with the MSCI World Index gaining 7.6% in Q4.* Ken Fisher and the IPC expect positive market momentum to carry into 2012, creating an overall up-a-lot year for stocks in our view.
As last year began, Ken Fisher and the IPC said 2011 would likely be a "pause that refreshes" the bull market. Typical of the third year of a bull market, overall market returns in 2011 were negligible and marked by frustrating volatility, paring positive sentiment from 2010's newly minted optimists. US stocks ended up a hair, but foreign stocks were down even more—total world stocks split the difference. A steep mid-year correction tied largely to fears of recession and a European implosion (fears that failed to materialize yet again) hit economically sensitive categories like Emerging Markets, Materials, Energy and Industrials particularly hard. However, since the relative market low on October 4, 2011, these categories overall fared far better than the broad market.
In some ways, 2011's correction was similar to 2010's—both predicated on similar fears, though 2011's magnitude was a bit bigger and longer than 2010's. A key difference was 2010's started earlier—bottoming in early July, giving the market nearly six full months to recover in calendar year 2010. 2011's correction was only beginning in earnest in early July, so the recovery likely carries on into the front part of 2012. Also dissimilar, 2010's big bounce through year end helped sentiment improve—one contributing reason to our expectation that 2011 returns would be muted.
As 2012 begins, Ken Fisher and the IPC detect no sentiment bounce. Optimists are scarce, and ample skepticism is rampant—a bullish feature—providing a wall of worry for this bull market to climb. Headlines fret tapped-out consumers, sovereign debt, a Chinese hard landing, political wrangling, too much stimulus, too little stimulus, etc. Yet underappreciated positives abound. Corporate revenues and profits are growing at healthy clips, stock valuations are extremely attractive, the global economy continues to reach new highs—and that vibrancy likely continues into 2012. In the full Stock Market Outlook, Ken Fisher and the IPC cover these positive features in greater detail and explain why many of today's more prominent fears are either wrong or now too old to have much market-moving power going forward.

Happy to note the following about the latest Apple MacBook, dubbed the "Air":
10:32 a.m. Jobs talks about progress on environmental issue. Says Air has an all-aluminum case (recyclable), first mercury-free display, arsenic-free glass.
That new display consumes less power, too, contributing to using viagra a battery life of over 5 hours (full use with all wireless options on). With special RemoteDisc software installed, it can read optical discs from other computers (it doesn't come with one of its own) - I've always thought it was bunk to have more than one DVD drive in a home, especially with Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n networks in place - it's only an issue if you want to rip a CD the same time someone else wants to install a new program from disc, and who uses physical media anymore? In both cases, it would probably be faster to download anyways!
Of particular interest to anyone who cares about the environment is... the bromide and PVC-free circuitboards and the fact that the viagra generic packaging is 56-percent smaller [than current MacBook].
Apple pushed Intel to produce really, really tiny chips for this particular computer, and everyone benefits when Intel makes smaller chips that consume less power - you can bet this technology will find its way into Sony, Dell, and HP laptops soon enough. Also of note is the option for a 64GB SSD, though at $999 it's no bargain.
It meets Energy Star 4.0 standards and attained a Silver EPEAT rating. Someone check my math, but 5 hours out of a 37 watt-hour lithium polymer battery would mean it consumes about 7.4 watts... that's in the same consumption category as some of http://www.jubileecampaign.nl/cheapest-prices-for-viagra the Super-Green Linux Machines we've been covering, and it blows everything else at its productivity level out of the water.

Using less materials overall is http://nassmc.org/get-cialis-in-canada obviously great, which helps lead to the reduced packaging, reduced fuel usage for transport, etc.
The SSD is a great, but incredibly expensive option. SSDs (Solid State Drives) have no moving parts. This means that they have less chance of breaking down than a traditional hard drive. This means the computer can last longer, which means less laptops thrown into the landfill.
As far as Apple and their environmental impact. Apple is not perfect. Apple could do cialis kanada better. But it has already done a lot. It's consisently designed and redesigned products and packaging to be smaller and use less materials. It's been promoting LCD displays (much more energy efficient) over CRTs. Also, if you look at EPEAT (http://www.epeat.net), a lot of Apple's products are EPEAT rated. There's much more information available at Apple's environment page (http://www.apple.com/environment/). I would like to see them do more, but we should also take notice of no prescription 10mg levitra what they have done already.
As far as price, I don't think the www.revistadeteatro.com MacBook Air is expensive because it's green. It's expensive because it's new and it's thin. It took a lot of R&D for Apple to make something that thin, so they're looking to recoup that cost. That's true of all thin laptops.
written by Evan B, January 16, 2008
My big question is why the Vaio TZ90 didn't get as much attention. Much better laptop in my opinion.

Is the MacBook Air going to solve the www.omroepgroesbeek.nl worlds problems? Of course not, but it is a giant step in the right direction. We neeed to seriously rethink our priorities and the best place best price viagra this includes computing too. Most people now have machines that are more powerful then they even use, wasting energy and their money. Apple creating a smaller more efficient machine that is more than capable of running many demanding tasks that the average consumer will do is an innovative approach that they should be applauded for. There is still a long way to go but this is progress.

Ferguson: Dalglish's support for Suarez cost him his job
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said former Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish's unwavering support for striker Luis Suarez during the Patrice Evra race row was one of the main reasons behind his eventual sacking.
"I wasn't surprised at Kenny leaving. I think John Henry [the Liverpool owner] has obviously looked at the Suarez incident and felt it wasn't handled in the right way," The Daily Mirror quoted Ferguson, as saying.
"I think that must have been part of it. It certainly wasn't a nice thing to happen, you know," he added.
The FA banned Suarez for eight matches after an independent commission found him guilty of racially abusing United's Patrice Evra during a game last October.
Dalglish continued to back his striker, even after Suarez was found guilty, and claimed the player was the victim of a conspiracy.
Among Dalglish's ill-advised actions during the saga was his idea for the Liverpool squad to wear t-shirts in support of Suarez before a Premier League game. (ANI)

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Edwin Encarnacion has been released from a Miami hospital on Saturday after an accident involving fireworks.
According to ESPN, the soon-to-be 27 year old received minor facial injuries during a New Year's festivities in the Dominican Republic.
He suffered first and second degree burns in the forehead and right side of his face when a firecracker hit him in the Jaw.
"Thank God everything is okay with my face. I don't have any fractures or serious injuries and I won't need any kind of surgery," Encarnacion told ESPNdeportes.com during a phone interview while leaving the hospital.
Encarnacion, who was treated in the Dominican after the injury went to Miami on Friday night for precautionary reasons.
"I was treated very well in Dominican Republic, but when the doctors started talking about facial surgery, I called my agent Paul Kinzer to get a private air charter and take me to a hospital that specialized in burns," Encarnacion said.
Encarnacion hit .225 with 13 home runs in 85 games with the Cincinnati Reds and Blue Jays last season. The injury won't keep him from being ready for spring training.
"The doctors say that I'll have to spend one week out of the sun, but that I'll be able to work out without any problems in two weeks," Encarnacion stated.
He's in the final year of his contract, which will see him make $4.75 million this season.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - The fifth annual "Soap for Hope," toiletry drive is here again.
The 'AAA' donation drive provides local shelters, food banks and other organizations with toiletry items.
The list includes new, full or travel sizes of soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste and tooth brushes. 'AAA' tells us these items are in high demand especially for victims of domestic violence.
"When they go to the Domestic Violence Center what they do is they'll give them a little packet and it has all the toiletries that they might need; because really when they come in there, they come in with nothing," said Penny Jager, Service Center Manager for 'AAA'.
In the past four years 'AAA' has distributed more than 200,000 items to Washington and parts of Northern Idaho.
You can drop off your donation at the Tri-Cities office in Kennewick at 6501 W. Grandridge Boulevard.

Bullet for My Valentine fans can expect the band to head for familiar territory on their next studio album. Drummer Michael "Moose" Thomas says the band has already begun working on the follow-up to Temper Temper , and it will sound more like their earlier work.
"[It] is completely different from Temper Temper …it's definitely more of a step towards our first two records," he tells Billboard . "We always like to keep changing our records and our sounds and stuff. I think you have to change, otherwise it gets boring for us and the fans get bored. We just want to keep changing and get to another level each time out."
While a title and release date for the album has yet to be announced, the band is expected to head into the studio to begin recording sometime next month.
