European Commission - Survey of digital education and copyright practices for learners and educators
From surveys
"Most European learners and educators use a variety of works, including in digital format (digital texts, audio recordings, videos, software and others), for their learning or teaching / training / tutoring. Such works are used in the classroom, at home (self-education) and in distance learning.
Some of these works are protected by copyright and may in some cases be difficult to access or use. We are interested to hear what types of works you use in your daily learning or teaching / training / tutoring activities, how you obtain them, what you do with them and what restrictions, obstacles or uncertainties related to copyright you encounter."

"There are numerous EdTech related journals out there, but whenever I read the abstracts of most new IRRODL issues, I am intrigued. Is it my love for Canada which makes me more susceptible for possible news? Is it because I like the editors? Is it the determination to offer a platform to international authors that want to share research? Is it their website visuals using people from all ages, looks and combinations? Is it the mix between multiple EdTech options?... I do not know, but it sure happened again this morning while strolling through the abstracts and respectively some of the articles of this new IRRODL issue."

"Der Begriff "Bibliothek" kommt aus dem Griechischen und bezeichnet ursprünglich eine "Bücherkiste". Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte hat sich die Bibliothek weiterentwickelt, aus der Kiste sind Gebäude geworden und neben Büchern kann man inzwischen weitere Medien wie z. B. Zeitschriften, Filme, E-Books und vieles mehr ausleihen. Auch wenn sich der Raum der Bibliothek zunehmend virtualisiert, beschreibt das Bild der Bücherkiste immer noch gut, was den Kern einer Bibliothek ausmacht: Eine Bibliothek ist eine Sammlung von verschiedenen Medieneinheiten."

The vote was 3-2 with board president Scott Slocum and members Donna Green and Tim Sowecke voting to fire Fox.
Board members Kevin Asher and John Caporini voted against termination.

Click to read the school board's termination order.
Sowecke said the board majority found that a referee from the state department of education ignored important testimony from witnesses.
The referee recommended Fox be reinstated with back pay.
Asher defended the referee's report, saying the referee found "a rush to judgment" by the board majority against Fox, "replacing sound judgment."
The vote came about two hours after the meeting began.

Sowecke spoke for more than an hour, reading from the referee's report and a board report that outlined his findings. He suggested Fox had participated in efforts to intimidate him, Green and Slocum. He also said Fox violated his employment contract and engaged in unprofessional behavior.
Asher spoke for about 15 minutes and asked for the board's attorney to outline the next phase in Common Pleas Court, and how much that might cost the district. He also defended the referee's reputation and suggested he's never been successfully overturned in a ruling and recommendation.
The board had a fiduciary responsibility to protect the district, Asher said, suggesting the board wait until Fox's contract expires in July 2014.

by Elisabeth Lopez, translated by Joanna Waller
Please click HERE for a sample of the book.
Released for the first time in English.
Lopez's book, originally published in French in 1994, is a serious study of Colette and her reform movement of the Poor Clare Sisters. "Lopez's book is a necessary reading for anyone who wants to understand the many faceted aspects of the history of the Poor Clares," says Pacelli Millane, O.S.C. Clarisses de Valleyfield. Colette of Corbie is one of the few texts written depicting the historical context and spiritual depth of the reform which offered women of the Second Order the opportunity to return to the observance of the Rule of St. Clare. "It is really wonderful that Elisabeth Lopez's book has now been translated into English, especially because it fills a gap in the history of Franciscan women during the Late Medieval period and specifically of the Poor Clares, whose diversity, spiritual creativity and influence have been emphasized by recent European scholarship," states André Vauchez.

Recipe by LauraT
"These tangy shrimp are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They can be individually plated for the appetizer of a sit down dinner, or kept warm in a chafing dish at a buffet or cocktail party. Simply insert a frilled toothpick in each shrimp and smother with the sauce!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 pounds
jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons
1/4 cup
lemon juice
1 cup
steak sauce (e.g. A-1)
2 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
3 fluid ounces
dry sherry or Madeira
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
canola oil
I followed the recipe and followed a recommendation of one reviewer, that claimed the A1 was too strong. I cut back to 2 tablespoons instead of the excessive 1/2 cup that it calls for. These were ok, and everyone "claimed" they liked them, but I didn't think they were very tasty. There are much better shrimp recipes out there. I will not make this again.
Tossed just-cooked shrimp with warm sauce then served. Nice compliment to the rest of our Super Bowl spread. A little too A1-y for me to rate it a perfect 5 stars.
5 Ratings
mmmmmm really turned out good
The good news is the shrimp were all eaten - the bad news is that the sauce tasted too much like A-1. Nobody was raving about the sauce. Will I do this recipe again? Probably not. But I am glad we tried it. A-1 will remain a "beef" sauce.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I would like to know what changes were made on the Syncrowave 350 and 351 over the years from early 90's up till most present.... What was the difference in the two in general?? I am in the market to purchase a nice used syncro for a commercial machine shop setting.. I am confused as I have seen differences in panel controls..
I will post photos of what I have found so far as I hope to clarify what my concerns are..
$(KGrHqJ,!lgFC2frsj(8BQ7(oGo5lQ~~60_1.JPG $T2eC16d,!)cE9s4Pu,YjBRGmpyt8dQ~~60_1.JPG
The image on the left is a 1996 350... The right is 351 1995... Obvious less controls on the right.
I have seen variations of the two as well with different control panels..
If anyone has leads to a good working condition 350, I would appreciate it as well.

Police Python 357
A tough but honest cop must clear his name after a corrupt colleague implicates him in a murder in this French thriller. Ferrot (Yves Montand) is a hard-as-nails police detective who is attracted to a beautiful woman named Sylvia (Stefania Sandrelli). Sylvia, however, is having an affair with Ganay (Francois Perier), who happens to be Ferrot's superior on the force; Ganay happens to be married to Therese (Simone Signoret), who is handicapped. Sylvia is found murdered, and Ferrot is assigned to investigate; Ferrot is convinced that Ganay killed Sylvia because she wanted to end their relationship, but to his dismay, Ferrot discovers that the killer has placed a number of false clues that point the blame toward Ferrot. Police Python 357's brisk cutting earned editor Marie-Josephe Yoyotte a Cesar Award (the French Oscar).~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Free Software PDF Readers
What would you think about a sign on the highway saying "You need a Volkswagen to drive on this road. Contact your Volkswagen dealer for a gratis test drive – Your Government"? When it comes to software that opens PDF files, many public sector organisations do this every day. With the pdfreaders.org campaign we have turned the spotlight on government organisations who behave in this way, exposing how frequent such advertisements for non-free software are. With the help of activists across Europe, we are contacting these organisations and explain to them how to improve their websites so that they respect our freedom.
What was already achieved
Every day, public institutions advertise non-free software on their websites. Some examples are below. With the help of our Fellows and of hundreds other Free Software activists, we have collected over one month 2286 bug reports coming from every countries in Europe, and also nine countries outside of Europe.
Our Petition For The Removal Of Proprietary Software Advertising On Public Institution Websites was signed by 90 organisations, 63 businesses and 2731 individuals. If you haven't signed it yet, do it now!
What is currently being done: Contacting the public sector
Finding public bodies that advertise proprietary PDF readers was only the first step of the campaign. FSFE has sent a letter to all the public administrations on our list asking them to either remove their advertising for proprietary software or at least run equal advertising for Free Software, so that users of their websites realise that they have a choice. You can see the progress that is being done.
Help us contact the remaining institutions!
What you can do to help
FSFE is for the moment dealing with the answers of the institutions and recontacting those who didn't reply, so we don't have time to file for new bugs and contact other institutions. However, if you discover a page of a public institution of administration that advertises for non-free and is not yet or doesn't appear as resolved on the list, don't hesitate to contact them on your own. You can for this purpose use our model letter. You just need to change the address and the URL. You can send it per mail or post.
If you have any doubts in the process, contact us
Inform us about the institutions you're contacting, and the progress you're making. We will publish the positive results alongside with the other reported institutions.
Our argumentation
A question of neutrality: Public institutions should not engage in advertising
By recommending a single non-free program, public institutions are promoting the proprietary software model. There are loads of alternatives to the reader they promote, so there is no reason for public institutions to further strengthen the dominance of a single company over a part of the software market. Advertisements on public sector websites may be fine if they're marked as such and paid for, and if they don't endanger competition and choice in the software market. When public bodies act as a marketing channel for a single company's product, something has gone wrong.
A question of freedom: Public institutions should not ask citizens to use non-free software.
Free Software is software that anyone can use, study, share and improve. These four freedoms give users the full control over the software they use. Free Software makes sure you don't have to buy a company's product if you just want to read documents that other people send you, including public bodies. Any program can be checked for security holes, so that problems often get fixed quickly. Free Software helps protect your privacy, because you can be sure that the program you're using only does the things you want, and nothing more. A government that exists to protect and preserve our freedom should not be asking us to use non-free software.
A question of Open Standards:
The versions of the PDF format which are Open Standards can be implemented by all PDF readers. If public bodies don't stick to Open Standards when generating their documents, they make it harder for Free Software offerings and different vendors to compete in the market.

The gas is supposed to keep going... It's called postflow... I'm not familliar with your welder, but I suspect that there will be a setting for it buried someplace in the menues...
If you don't postflow your argon, you will contaminate your tungsten with oxygen from the air when it's hot from welding.

Remembering Zackie
September 21, 2007 - March 10, 2011
Live Well, Laugh Much, Love Often
Early in the morning on March 10, 2011, we lost a hero and our special little guy Zackie Hamilton, who died in the arms of his mommy and daddy, Heather and Paul Hamilton at Sick Kids Hospital.
Zack was born in September 2007 with a congenital heart defect known as Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage (TAPVD). At two and a half weeks old, Zack underwent a procedure at Sick Kids to repair his heart. Zack's survival at that time, was the first of many miracles in his life. Zack also had several other anomalies, including hearing loss, global developmental delay, feeding issues, GTube, seizures, and fluid in the brain. Though he had no official overall diagnosis, the genetics team discovered Zack had a deletion of the 12th chromosome. This deletion is the first recorded case in the world, making Zack a very special and unique little guy.
Two weeks ago, Zack was hospitalized with pneumonia and an Influenza B virus. His lungs were so severely infected, that Zack required assistance breathing. With his Mommy never leaving his side, he fought to stay strong but eventually needed to be put on a ventilator. During the intubation process, Zack's weak heart suffered a cardiac arrest. The amazing Critical Care team at Sick Kids performed CPR on Zack for 45 minutes and miraculously kept him alive. He was immediately placed on life support and just like he did his entire life, he fought the odds against him and shocked the entire medical team by surviving days after the trauma he experienced. The impact caused by the lack of oxygen to his brain during the resuscitation process, caused severe damage including an irreversible end to all of his brain activity.
When Zack was born, his future was uncertain but that never stopped him! With the help of his parents, brothers, caring therapists, friends and family, Zack lived life to the fullest! His infectious smile will be remembered by everyone who ever met him. He amazed everyone around him with all that he accomplished in his short life, including walking this past November! He inspired those around him and continued to teach lessons of perseverance, determination and resilience. He worked hard to accomplish his heart's desire and never gave up. His happiest times were watching Elmo, playing drums, jumping on his trampoline, eating Froot Loops and walking around the house after his brothers.
Zack is already terribly missed by his very proud mommy and daddy, adoring big brother Ty, and loving twin brother Jayden. He will forever be in the hearts of Nana and Poppa (Peter and Lynda Oliver), Auntie Erin, Uncle Gary and cousin Tristan Cerrato. Forever remembered by Uncle Lorenzo and Auntie Karen Walker, Godmother Libbie Oag and several therapists, nurses, doctors and loving friends.
At 3 years old, our Zackie has touched many more people that he ever could have realized. Life is best measured by impact and not duration. In that way, Zack lived a life of incredible importance.
Visitation is on Sunday, March 13th at 2-4pm and 6-8pm. Funeral, burial and reception will be Monday, March 14th at 11am. Both being held at Elgin Mills Cemetery, 1591 Elgin Mills Rd. East, Richmond Hill.
Children are encouraged to come to participate in all aspects of the celebration of Zack's life and to say goodbye to their little friend. We have crafts and cards for them to write messages to Zack or to Ty and Jayden. Please bring them to the visitation and service.
Please consider a donation in Zackie's honour to SickKids. They gave us three years of pure love, joy and pride with our miracle son.

My heart is breaking for you, may you find peace and courage in your tragic loss.
Please know that sharing your story has helped me to appreciate the blessings I have in life, and I've been reminded of how precious and fragile life is. It makes my petty everyday difficulties seem so insignificant as to be absurd. I will give my children extra hugs, love, and patience today because of you.

Heather - this is so beautiful. Zackie has touched our hearts so deeply and we will miss him each and every day. We are so honored to have been part of his life.

I first read about your family on BLOOM. The original story about keeping focused on marriage was inspirational. When I read about your loss of Zack, my heart broke. I want you to know that your son and your family and YOU have touched our hearts deeply.
This is such a beautiful tribute. May everyone celebrate the full life your son lived!

God bless you and your family, during this difficult time. Your heart is breaking and the pain may seem to much to bear. But I bet you can feel your little angels arms around you now.

I remember being intrigued when I came across your blog and saw that photo of you and Zack looking into each others' eyes -- magic!
I was so delighted when I saw you unexpectedly -- out of the corner of my eye -- in the Holland Bloorview resource centre.
We didn't get to meet for long, but you wrote me a very special e-mail after reading BLOOM. You made me feel valued.
Then you wrote a candid, practical, invaluable blog for BLOOM about the impact of having a child with special needs on a marriage. We posted it on Valentine's day and it resonated deeply with readers.
I was looking forward to getting to know you better -- and getting to meet Zack again. You had already committed to writing for the print magazine -- right?
I was shocked when I read about Zack at SickKids on Sherry's blog. I didn't realize how tenuous his medical challenges were.
Thank you for sharing this remarkable story about Zack and the joy and meaning he's brought to your lives.
I remember when we were waiting for a diagnosis for my newborn son, asking my husband: "Couldn't we still be a happy family?"
And that, my friend, is what you were and are. A happy, loving family. What more could a boy ask for?
I send you lots of love. xoxoxoxooxx

As I said to your mother tonight, "the best job in the world is being a mother and you know you did yours when you have a daughter like Heather".... You are an inspiration, you are a fabulous mother, wife and friend. Zackie was a gift to all of us for 3.5 years and his love and light will will continue to shine within us.... I hope one day I can be half the mother that you are. You inspire me. My heart is with you. We now have a special little angel. Always.

I've been following you on Twitter for a while now (PTPA) and remember when you posted that Zackie started walking and it was a Christmas miracle. I was so happy to hear that.

Zackie will be missed dearly by all of us but we are honored that we were able to share in his life for the last 3 1/2 years. We will forever remember and cherish our fond memories of him.

What a beautiful story. I imagine it is hard to see the light in these dark days, but I hope you find peace in reading these comments and knowing just how many lives you and Zackie have touched. So many wonderful things have come from his life - he has had a bigger impact on the earth than many of us hope to accomplish in 80 years. He is a true hero, and so are you. Thank you for sharing so much of him with all of us. Big hugs.

Heather & Hamilton family,
I've been reading your blog posts and countless Twitter messages and can't find the words to express how truly sorry I am for you and your family. Zack must have been a very cool little man. :) He was an inspiration and a miracle.
I hope everyone makes a donation to Sick Kids in Zack's name.
Thinking of you,

For some moments in life there are no words. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness you must feel.

I can tell from your blog how special Zack was and even though I never met him in real life I will miss him as well.

I never knew Zack, I had only chatted with you online a few times, in short bursts. But when I heard Zack was in the hospital, I cried. I cried because I knew that your family was going through something that no family should have to. I cried because I have been so blessed that at this point in time, my children are happy and healthy. I cried becuase I know that can change in an instant.
Please know that even though we've never met, both you and Zack have changed me. I look at my kids and feel so blessed.
I proudly wear elmo on my twitter, and I will as long as I can.
Zack (and your family) will be in my thoughts forever. For every time I see my kids play with an Elmo toy, he'll cross my mind. When we pass a store display or Sesame street comes on TV, I'll think of Zack. As I'm sure you will too.
I am so very sorry for your loss, and I wish I was closer so I could do more to help. But know that I will forever celebrate in Zack's life.

My first time meeting Zack was about a month after I started working on Paul's team. The two of you graciously hosted a group of us at your house to celebrate the holidays, my most memorable moment from that visit was meeting Zack. I remember leaving your house thinking how much love you and Paul had for each of your boys, but the image that has stuck in my head is Zack sitting in your lap on the floor of the play/ family room surrounded by all of the other kids. The way that Zack looked up at you was inspiring, and while all the other adults were in the other room chatting about "adult stuff", you stayed right there with the kids making sure Zackie was always part of all the action. If I am ever fortunate to have kids I hope that they have half as much love for me as Zack and the boys have for the two of you. I hope that my son/ daughter's face lights up the same way Zack's does when he hears Paul's booming voice. Your family is an inspiration and I feel fortunate to have met you all.

Thank you for sharing your amazing Tribute video to Zackie. While I never knew your son, your video has given me a glimpse into the joy that this special child has brought to your family. While there's nothing that I can say that will ease your grief, know that Zackie's absence won't be forever. He's simply playing with the angels until you meet again.
I lost my daughter to T18 in 2007 but, unlike you, we weren't blessed with the opportunity to share even a kiss with our special angel. So, please don't mourn the time that you lost, rather, cherish and rejoice in all the little moments that you shared. I know that when I next visit my angel at Elgin Mills, she will tell me about her new friend Zackie.
Hugs to you.

A St. Mary's sheriff's deputy was released Monday night from a hospital, the agency reports, after he was treated for injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident that took place earlier that day as he was assisting a police academy course in Prince George's County.
Cpl. Joseph L. Somerville Jr., a 17-year veteran of the sheriff's office, suffered incapacitating injuries when the accident occurred, according to the sheriff's office, on Baltimore Avenue near Paint Branch Parkway in College Park. Somerville was providing instructor support for a basic motor officer course, hosted by the University of Maryland's Department of Public Safety Training Academy.
Somerville and an officer from another jurisdiction both were riding motorcycles when "that officer went down, and then [Somerville] went down," according to Cindy Allen, a spokesperson for the St. Mary's sheriff's office. "Neither collided with anything."
Allen referred further questions about the accident to the Prince George's County Police Department, which is investigating the matter, including the weather and pavement conditions at that time and location on Monday, a time of widespread rainfall in the region. No additional information was available from that agency as of midday Tuesday.
After the accident, a helicopter crew flew Somerville to MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
"He was released last night," Allen said Tuesday morning at the sheriff's office. "He's at home recuperating," she said, and he now is on medical leave.
Somerville recently completed a 120-hour University of Maryland's Department of Public Safety Police Motor Officer Instructor's Training Program, which made him certified to provide basic and recurrent police motor training to law enforcement officers, according to the sheriff's office. The agency's Motor Unit began in Leonardtown in 1994, and since that year, the sheriff's office has trained seven deputies as motor officers, as the unit has expanded to include community policing, traffic safety and special assignments.

Recipe by Ibby
"A mellow stuffing that pairs up perfectly with the Maple Roast Turkey and Gravy. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com."

1 pound
sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1/4 cup
6 cups
coarsely chopped leeks
tart apples - peeled, cored and chopped
2 cups
chopped celery
4 teaspoons
poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons
dried rosemary, crushed
1 cup
dried cranberries
12 cups
white bread cubes, baked until slightly dry
1 1/3 cups
chicken stock
salt and black pepper to taste
This stuffing is incredible! Instead of leeks, I used 4 cups of chopped onion. I also used Bob Evans Pork Sausage instead of sweet italian sausage. This was so moist and full of flavor. It made enough to stuff the turkey and fill a baking dish. It's worth the preparation and I'll definitely be making this again next year.
This was really good stuffing.... but it would have been better with fresh cranberries. The dried cranberries just didn't give it enough flavor.

This stuffing was incredible!!!!!!!!I think that it was one of my most "complimented" cooking efforts--and I cook all the time:)It made two pans (11x9) and i made one without onions and one with. I used onion instead of leeks and used about 2 cups. I absolutely think that the Italian sausage makes this recipe, so if you can make it that way I highly recommend it. I added the broth last pouring a little over one cup over the ingredients in each pan then used a spatula to press the broth into the stuffing. I covered the pans and let the stuffing sit for about 30 mins and then baked as directed. One comment was it has a gourmet flavor, another had leftovers for breakfast because they absolutely loved it and everyone basically just raved about it. Thank you so much for this recipe that made this Thanksgiving so special!!!!!!!!!!Peggy in Texas
I don't normally eat stuffing but this one is terrific and my family loves it. Even my four year old niece likes it. I use pedridge farm corn bread crumbs instead of white bread crumbs which gives it much more flavor and sauteed onions in garlic instead of leeks.
I tried this recipe about 3 years ago from allrecipes.com and my whole family loves it! It's the only stuffing recipe I use now. I don't go to the extent of drying my own bread cubes. I buy the pre-packaged one from the store and the recipe turns out great. You won't be dissapointed!
This is an excellent recipe. I did use the pork sausage but should have stayed with the turkey sausage. I did not stuff the turkey and so baked the stuffing in the oven separately. Worked great. The cranberries presented beautifully around the turkey.
This stuffing is excellent when paired with the maple roast turkey, but beware if you're cooking for picky eaters. It doesn't look like your typical stuffing and if you can't get anybody to eat it then they won't know how good it is. I had so many leftovers I didn't know what to do with them.
This was a total hit! I did however substitute cornbread for the white bread which I think enhanced the flavor.

Convened every fall, the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice has come to hold particular significance as the largest meeting place of individuals from U.S. Jesuit-affiliated institutions, gathering in a remarkable display of solidarity to bear witness to the legacy of faith in action. The event is a powerful experience, especially for students at high schools and colleges, who connect with their faith through education, liturgy and advocacy. Participants are required to register for the event and commit to attending a series of educational activities in preparation for the Teach-In.
An annual commemoration of the El Salvadoran martyrs that were killed during the 1980s. The martyrs include the six Jesuit faculty members at the University of Central America and the Jesuit community's housekeeper and her daughter who were murdered on November 16, 1989 and the three religious sisters and one laywoman who were raped, mutilated and murdered on December 2, 1980. We also commemorate the victims of the El Mozote massacre who were killed on December 11, 1981.
The Stations of the Cross are devotional exercises Christians use to recall the Passion of Christ. Today every Catholic church incorporates pictorial Stations of the Cross around the perimeter of the church, and they are practiced during Lent in preparation for Easter. The Social Justice Stations of the Cross help us meditate on the Passion of Jesus and relate the pain he endured to real injustices experienced in today's world.
Hunger and Homelessness Awareness activities are designed to inform and educate the Loyola community about people who are materially poor, hungry and/or homeless, as well as to offer opportunities for involvement with people experiencing these situations.

Child Tax Credit
Opinion: Romney Denigrates 47% Not Paying Taxes As He Uses Loopholes Trying To Do The Same
Mitt Romney, if you want to talk about mooches and freeloaders that take advantage of the system then grow a spine and show America your tax returns. Let's see what you really pay as a percentage. Let's see what deductions you take. Let's see how addicted to federal benefits you are.
Opinion: Romney's 47% Don't Pay Taxes Remark Shows He's Exactly Who We Thought He Was
The recently released tape of Romney speaking to donors at a closed door fundraiser has exposed Mitt Romney to, in fact, be the person Democrats have portrayed him to be: a rich, out of touch, arrogant man that has no respect or connection to the American middle class and absolutely no interest in making the American middle class stronger.

After finally getting the bread board properly (we think) set up for this experiment, we have discovered that the alligator clips do not work when we connect to the multimeter to get a reading for the initial value of 2.5V. However, we get a reading of 3.59 when we do not use these clips.
This does not make any sense to us. We do not know why this is happening.

If you're like a lot of people, you spend more time in the bathroom, in the car, or on the couch than you do in the kitchen. You simply don't have time to cook.
So what you're going to see here in the weekly menu option #1, and in weekly menu option #2, and especially in weekly menu option #3, takes all that into account—that you don't have the time to prepare lots of meals. If you can operate a blender and a frying pan, you can handle these dishes.
Most of these recipes are ones you can make quickly—some in less than 5 minutes. We also know that you're not going to make every meal, so we've included sample combinations of foods that make properly balanced meals, utilizing the Powerfoods. For the dinners, serving sizes are larger than one, so you can also use the leftovers for lunch. And if you've got a family to cook for, it's easy to double or even triple the recipes.

The Victor® Multi-Kill™ Mouse Trap eliminates your rodent problems quickly and easily. If the trap is baited, placed in the rodent's path and turned on, the trap will do the rest! Unlike traditional snap traps, the Victor® Multi-Kill™ uses a high-voltage, quick and humane shock that kills the mouse in seconds. The Victor® Multi-Kill™ is as efficient as it is effective, killing up to ten mice per setting and 150 mice per set of 4 "C" batteries. This trap offers a 100% kill rate – meaning there are no escapes and you can rid yourself of a rodent problem in one single night.
The Victor® Multi-Kill™ Mouse Trap is equipped with two points of entry located on the back of the trap. The staircase design leads the mouse into the Shock N' Drop Chamber where the bait is located. Once the rodent is inside, the patented tunnel design and beveled columns hold the mouse in place and prevent any escapes. To reach the bait, the mouse must step onto the metal plates, completing the circuit and initiating a quick, humane shock killing the mouse in less than 3 seconds. After the mouse is killed, the Shock N' Drop Chamber automatically rotates and deposits the mouse into the collection drawer. The Victor® Multi-Kill™ Mouse Trap automatically resets. The light located above the power switch will blink green for up to seven days to indicate a kill, a yellow light when the collection drawer is full and a red light when the trap is low on batteries. To dispose of the mice, slide open the collection drawer and dump the mouse directly into the trash for a hygienic and safe, no-touch, no-view disposal. The trap can kill up to 10 mice per setting and 150 mice per set of four "C" batteries.
The Victor® Multi-Kill™ Mouse Trap is easy to use. Open the kill chamber door located on top of the Multi-Kill™ Mouse Trap. Bait the trap along the back wall or in the bait trough provided using a small amount of peanut butter, chocolate, hazelnut spread or anything high in protein. Be sure to not over bait. Only a pea size amount of bait is needed. Open the battery compartment and unwrap the 4 "C" batteries that are included. Properly reinsert the batteries and close the battery compartment. Place the trap where you have seen signs of rodent activity or along the wall where rodents primary travel. The back of the trap with the stairs should be placed flush against the wall. Once the trap is placed, turn it on. A green light will flash once indicating the trap is working properly.
The Victor® Multi-Kill™ Mouse Trap features a built-in safety switch that automatically deactivates the trap whenever the kill chamber door is opened. The trap has no poisons or chemicals and is safe to use anywhere in the home. The Victor® Multi-Kill™ is extremely economical and can be used for years to ensure effective mouse control.
All orders received before 2pm EST will ship out the SAME DAY*!*Shipping Details »
To bait the Multi-Kill™ Mouse Trap, first make sure the trap is turned off. Open the kill chamber door located on top of the mouse trap. We've carefully researched and recommend baiting with anything high in protein like peanut butter or hazelnut spread. Place a small amount of bait (the size of a pea) against the back wall of the kill chamber. Be sure to use gloves or a tool to bait so your scent is not transferred onto the trap. Please don't place the bait or any other material directly on the metal plates as this will falsely trip the system.
The Multi-Kill™ is recommended for indoor use only. This trap was designed and manufactured to be used indoors and not exposed to the elements. If this trap is used outside, the unit could potentially short out due to weather conditions, such as rain.

Nosferatu, the Vampyre (2 Disc)
Reviewer: Rhett
Review Date: July 2, 2002
Released by: Anchor Bay
Release date: 7/9/2002
Region 0, NTSC
Widescreen 1.85:1 | 16x9: Yes
The original
Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror
, as well as Hitchcock's
, are known as two of classical pioneers of the horror genre. In 1998, when Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho was released, there was controversial uproar. People balked at the idea of a colorized, shot-for-shot remake of such an important film, arguing that Hitchcock's material was timeless and needless of any type of re-imaging. Although not as pronounced, that was much the same climate in 1979 for German visionary Werner Herzog's
Nosferatu, The Vampyre
Herzog argued that Shakespearean plays like
have been redone countless times, but all of them have differences that set them apart, much like his update of his
tale compared to the ones before it. Some critics were indifferent, while others like Roger Ebert included it on their Top 10 lists. Now after 23 years, the controversy has settled, so let's take a trip to Transylvania and see how the film and Anchor Bay's new re-release holds up.
The Story
Horribly disfigured mummies. A flying bat. The Vampyre. Beginning with shots of the mummies and the bat, the film sets up its central character, Count Dracula (
Klaus Kinski
). Hunched over with a pale complexion and a bat-like appearance, Kinski's Dracula is a battered and empty creature. An ageless being, he has lived without love for centuries, confined to his medieval mansion and restricted to roam only in the dark hours. In order to stay alive he must feast on the lives of others, and hence decides to move to an urban locale.
Jonathan Harker (
Bruno Ganz
), a real estate agent, and his wife Lucy (
Isabelle Adjani
) live happily together. But upon request from the Count, Jonathan is asked to help him find a new dwelling, so he leaves his wife to aid the count in Transylvania. Both his wife and the locals he meets during his journey inform him of the numerous deaths and ghost sightings experienced at Dracula's mansion, and that if he goes, he too will face great danger. Jonathan, ignoring the warnings, finally reaches the Count's home, and is greeted by the stark individual. He is offered a late supper, and while eating, he cuts his finger with a knife, causing a rejuvenated Dracula to leap from his seat and suck the blood from his finger. It is now apparent, that like the people before him, Jonathan will fall victim to Dracula's bite.
Admiring the neck of Lucy in one of Jonathan's pictures, Dracula abandons Jonathan and heads to his hometown, hidden in a boat with rats, in order to seek out his lust for Lucy. Upon arriving, the townspeople begin dying, in what many feel is a plague from the legion of rats which were aboard the ship. This destroys the city, causing all laws and civility to fall wayward of the night's darkness. Lucy knows however, that it is Dracula that is causing the deaths, and vows to end his destructive reign once and for all.
's story is insignificant. Dracula's story has been told time and time again through various artistic mediums, and is about as well known as the national anthem. Everyone knows the words, it is how it is said that makes all the difference. Werner Herzog has taken what has become a cliché story, and injected it with consummate visual expression. The vast locals and eerie set pieces speak more than the words uttered onscreen, and symbolize the central narrative. This film is a character study of an outcast, a man as empty inside as the scenic locations that surround him. From gothic mansions to overcast mountains, the visuals establish the desolate tone of the film. A picture is worth a thousand words, and Herzog's visuals alone are able to express Dracula's strained emotions with an unparalleled depth.
Murnau's original
was without dialogue, with only an eerie organ score to carry the narrative. Although filmed in both German and English, Herzog's
Nosferatu, The Vampyre
is extremely similar in presentation to Murnau's classic. The language is secondary to the visuals and the score, and the film could easily be just as effective without the dialogue. Both the images and the orchestral soundtrack exhibit an emotional arc which is at times beautiful and at others haunting. The actors in this film are merely props contributing to Herzog's lyrical vision.
While most of the characters appear flat and emotionless, Klaus Kinski's portrayal of Dracula remains the sole exception. Like the films visuals, Kinski's expressions are most profound when they are not spoken. Crouching over the bed of his victims, the suppressed emotion behind Kinski's blackened, hollowed eyes is articulated with a haunting conviction. Kinski's Dracula is a battered and lonely soul, more so even than Schreck's interpretation, and although he is a murderous being, Kinski is able to evoke a tragic pity from the audience. At a time when the character of Count Dracula had sunken to cheap caricatures of Lugosi's and Lee's past portrayals, Kinski was able to create a Dracula of his own, and his performance remains today perhaps the best and most intriguing interpretation of the forlorn creature ever captured on film.
Nosferatu, The Vampyre
consists of long takes of exposition, and takes its time telling the narrative. Werner Herzog, creating a comparable homage to Murnau's original silent film, relies on foreboding visuals like Dracula's lurking presence on an abandoned boat, or a sequence of fanatical townspeople celebrating their final hours of life amidst rats and sheep. Like a poem, his images radiate a lyrical symbolism, a collection of metaphors put in place to sustain its theme. This is a film about loneliness, about a man turned beast-like and gaunt out of unexpressed love. Dracula is a sad and tortured romantic, and his condition is only fully revealed with the film's final subtle shot.
Image Quality
Anchor Bay originally released this film on DVD back in early 1999, and the transfer for both the German and English versions was mediocre at best. They were full of grain, contained weak color definition and lacked anamorphic enhancement. Now, presented in 1.85:1 widescreen enhanced for 16x9 television sets, these new transfers are unfortunately similar in most respects to AB's previous release. The overall look of both the German and English transfers appears washed out and grainy, with the German release even more pronounced. There are times when hair is openly visible on the print (during the beach scene on the lower right corner in particular) as well as other slight blemishes. Shadow definition is weak, and the blacks are poorly defined, looking often at times as gray. The English transfer has better color definition than the German transfer, but otherwise they are basically equal. One must keep in mind that this was a low budget 1970's film, so some flaws most likely lie within the print itself.
New DVD
Old DVD
The print used for both the new and old releases appears to be the same, but there are a few differences in the visual qualities of both. The older transfer is noticeably sharper than the one on this disc, with images from all depth planes appearing clearer. The newer print however, boasts stronger colors and better flesh tone saturation. Grass appears much more vibrant on the newer release, and faces seem much more lifelike. The newer print also benefits from increased resolution thanks to the anamorphic enhancement. Since the original release was crammed onto a single disc, there is significant compression issues that make themselves apparent in the darker scenes, as pixelated boxes dance like phantoms in the night. So while the old release may seem sharper, its duller colors and artifacting make the new release a winner.
Both the original release and this DVD present
in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Surround 2.0 for the German language film, and Dolby Digital Mono for the English version. Truth be told, all three tracks on both versions sound fairly flat and there was little difference to be heard. For the German film, part of the soundtrack and sound effects have been pushed into the surrounds, but the sound is so subdued that it is almost unnoticeable. There is no directional movement or discrete sound effects, and the overall sound lacks range. The English version obviously sounds weaker and much less engulfing. There are also cases in all the tracks where the score momentarily drowns out the dialogue.
Despite these reservations though, they are decent tracks, with mostly clear sounding dialogue and effects, without any hissing or popping to be heard. For a film of such age it sounds good, and either disc will provide the best audio transfer the film has ever received.
Supplemental Material
Although this is a new two-disc set, the supplements on this release are almost identical to those included on the initial DVD release. All of the supplements on both releases are on the German version, with the exception of a duplicate trailer on the English version. The original release was a dual-sided disc with the English version on one side, and the German on the other. This new release has the German put on one single sided disc, while the English has been put onto another disc.
The most notable supplement for both discs is the inclusion of the English language version of the film. Shot simultaneously with the German release, 20th Century Fox asked Werner Herzog to shoot an English version in order to generate a greater appeal to western audiences. Since dialogue is a minimal part of this movie, the differences in the two versions of the film are not all that important. What is important however, is that the actors speaking in English did not know the language, and thus their expressions appear more muted and somewhat awkward in the English version. To add to that, their English was later dubbed, so the overall effectiveness of the speech is lost in the translation. So although an interesting inclusion, the German version with English subtitles is undoubtedly the clear way to go.
Also included is a feature length screen-specific audio commentary with director Werner Herzog and moderator Norman Hill. Although a born and raised German, Herzog is a fairly good English speaker, and this is a nicely entertaining track. Herzog sheds light on his inspirations for some shots, his opinions of other Dracula films, his disagreements with 20th Century Fox, narrative themes he wished to make apparent, and other interesting tidbits of information. Hill does a good job of baiting Herzog to talk about more focused questions, and the two work well together.
Three trailers are included, two of which being for the US release, while the other is the Spanish Trailer. These are great trailers, with a pulsing heartbeat and grave narration composing all three.
Next up is a 13-minute making-of featurette shot in a widescreen ratio during the film's production. The featurette entails Herzog talking about his relationship with Klaus Kinski, what the film means to him, how he shoots his films, and his attempt at connecting the film to early German cinema, among other things. It shows some interesting behind-the-scenes footage and contains a very creepy score, and is actually at times unsettling. It serves as an interesting exposé of the time the film was made in, as well as reveal some interesting production footage and opinions.
Added to the new DVD is an anamorphic enhancement to the featurette, and it looks considerably better than the previous release. The flesh tones look much more realistic and the overall print looks cleaner. Below is a comparison of the image quality of the featurette on the two DVD releases.
New DVD
Old DVD
Also new to this release are some interesting and comprehensive Talent Bios for both Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog. They reveal a great deal about their lives, and it is recommended that they be viewed prior to the film in order to get a greater historical knowledge of the people involved. Lastly, Anchor Bay has created some nice new animated menus for this release, and they are visually appealing and set the tone of the film perfectly. Although there are not many differences between the two releases in terms of content, the presentation on the newer disc is definitely an improvement. Both discs though, include some great supplements and either disc is recommended highly.
Final Thoughts
Nosferatu, The Vampyre
is an exceptional film, full with lyrical visual imagery and a sprawling orchestral score. Klaus Kinski's performance as the miserable Count Dracula is full of raw emotion and arguably Dracula's best onscreen characterization.
Nosferatu, The Vampyre
is more than just a remake of a classic film, it is a beautiful re-imaging.
Anchor Bay's new two-disc DVD improves on the previous release with an anamorphic film and featurette transfer, as well as new menus and talent bios. Both releases contain decent audio tracks and great supplemental material. If you have yet to purchase this film, then I highly recommend you buy Anchor Bay's new DVD. But for those who own the older release, there isn't much use in upgrading unless you have a 16x9 television set.
