LaSalle County Historical Society Heritage Center
The LaSalle County Historical Society's museum lies on the north side of the historic Illinois and Michigan Canal, itself a historical landmark. The museum building, erected in 1848 during the presidency of Zachary Taylor, is a beautifully restored sandstone building that was originally a granary and warehouse. The two-story building has walls of sandstone blocks between 18 and 32 inches thick, quarried in Utica, and secured with hydraulic cement of the same kind used in the construction of the I&M Canal. James Clark, the man who commissioned the building, came to Utica in 1833, where he became a land squatter. In 1842 he became a contractor on the I&M Canal and in 1845 he bought the local cement mill. He made it a huge commercial success by selling the cement to the canal contractors and the general public. The cement was used in many parts of the canal.

Artist: Simon Haiduk
A portion of proceeds benefit MAPS psychedelic and medical marijuana research and education projects.
Artist Bio
Growing up in British Columbia, Canada, Simon developed strong foundations in visual arts, music and an affinity with nature. In 1999 he attended a Fine Arts program at UCC in Kamloops and soon discovered that he would rather travel and learn more on his own. This led Simon to various parts of Central and South America. In 2004 he gravitated towards painting as a full time endeavor. As a mostly self-taught artist, Simon has explored various mediums, and subjects, with a strong influence in spiritual themes. After some time touring in art shows and festivals with a group of similarly themed artists, Simon decided to further his skills in Digital Design, graduating from Vancouver Film School in 2007. He currently works out of his studio as a freelance artist, while continuing to explore an ever-expanding palette of creative endeavors. Simon's art continues to be shown in various public and private galleries throughout the world.

The lead single "I'm Just Me" is out today. Below, watch the video, directed by Jared Raab, which features a lot of eye shadow, vogue dancing, lasers, and angular jackets. Never change, John!
Channeling his inner Devo, Rings deep voice glides over hard beats. Part club music, part indie rock, "I'm Just Me" definitely improves on his sounds from his last album Special Affections which was already amazing. Boy dancers and Starck Club imagery punctuate the video with energy as we see Diamond Rings embrace his polished off new self.
The track is called "I'm Just Me," and the album is yet untitled; the video is directed by Jared Raab, and it is smokey and glam and full of TV screens, scantily clad background dancers, and lasers. Just like my life.
If you're looking for the future of glam pop, look no further than Diamond Rings. John O'Regan aka Diamond Rings is the heir to the pop throne, laying his claim firmly with his latest music video for "I'm Just Me," a pop title that evokes Madonna or Lady Gaga, but is expressly his own.
He has the potential to be huge, but I feel like he's too good, so he'll remain a little under the mainstream. What do you think? Am I wrong? Do you see full-tilt-bigger-than-Gaga-fame for Diamond Rings? We can only hope…
The celebratory synth anthem is paired with laser-heavy visuals and outfits that appear to be from the future. Add in jewel-encrusted sunglasses, neon nail polish, dancers and an over-active fog machine and we've got ourselves a party.
"Director Jared Raab creates a world of smoke, mirrors, and intense lasers for Diamond Rings' first single from his upcoming album." There's also some underwater shots and fabulicious dancing by a guy in spandex.
And if you happened to see Diamond Rings walk the red carpet at the MMVAs, you'll recognize his futuristic, Bowie-esque garb. Looks like with this new album, he's taking his style up another notch. Everybody in extreme shoulder pads!
Part of the process is research; listening to my favourite records for every sonic detail, every frequency, and then crafting something organic and unique.
Is John O'Regan the male Grace Jones? Or is Grace Jones the male Grace Jones? We report, you decide.
i'm just me" retains the '80s synths and the rich baritone vocals that made tracks like "you & me" and "something else" so irresistible.

Repetition is good in someways but not so good in others as the St. John-Hudson Lady Tigers once again took control of their second straight game of the season early on 14-2 against Ellinwood as they did with Skyline last week 15-0, and easily won their first round match-up against the Eagles 40-23 in Larned's Keady Basketball Classic on Tuesday.
Trouble is they were still missing those darn layups, but this time by the truck load making just 13-33 of them. And that wasn't counting the missed crib shots underneath either.
On the brighter side, the Lady Tigers' defense looked good for most of the night, forcing the Eagles into 32-37 turnovers, depending on which statistician you were talking too. In other words, there wasn't just one Energizer Bunny (Jamie Waters) on the court with the Tigers last night, but a whole slew of them. They did have their problems rebounding though, the Lady Eagles muscling their way into position and out-rebounding the Tigers.
St. John's offense was unselfish and spread out in the first quarter, with six Lady Tigers making one basket apiece, two of them 3-pointers made by Tia Smith and Tara Christie. The Tigers defense gathered in nine Eagle turnovers.
Ellinwoods' turnover problems (6) kept going in the second quarter, but they still outscored the Tigers 9-12. Once again - missed Tiger layups.
Neither team exactly burned the nets in the third, with the Tigers' Jamie Waters doing most of the damage, making three two-pointers, the score going into the final quarter St. John 32 - Ellinwood 18.
The Tigers held Ellinwood to five points in the quarter, but St. John didn't do much better, making just eight.
St. John attempted just one free throw in the first three quarters.
Scoring: Waters 13, Teresa Christie 9, Morgan Osborne 7, Alexis Witt 4, Tara Christie 4, Tia Smith 3.
Free Throws: 3/8 for 37.5 per cent.
Teresa Christie 1, Osborne 1, Tara Christie 1.
Three point goals: St. John 3 (Smith, Tara Christie, Waters ).

My car was making another tapping noise and further inspection showed that the timing belt idler pulley also was bad. It was moving around on the bearing.
so YEA timing belt change. Only time I have done the timing belt on this car was when the motor was all the way out. I must say thats the easy way to do it.
Ordered the GATES blue comp belt. When compared to the OEM belt it looks like there is more reinforcement in the belt.
Using a new valve cover gasket. its from Magnum. They recently got bought by the same people who own Victor Reinz.
The edges do not seem as clean as the Feelpro, but the gasket has more of an edge. We will see how this valve cover gasket works out.
Also replacing the timing belt tension pulley Ford dealers here dont appear to stock these so ordered it on Thursday and getting it Monday. I guess they must not do to many timing belt changes on these cars or they are not replacing the pulleys while they do the work. My pulley was Concave...
I was able to get a 0.006" feeler gauge into the pulley. apparently its suppose to be convex and that helps the belt stay centered on the pulley? not sure if I have my concave vs convex correct. Either way new pulley.
The accessory idle pulley is still in good shape so will just be reusing that, we will so how long that one lasts.
During my prep work for the last NASA event I discovered that my AC was not working and completely dry. Working on taking off the connections and replacing a few of the gaskets. also going to put a new expansion valve, the one I took out looks a bit dirty.
Companies may a variable one for cooler climates (under 105*F) and for warmer (over 105*F) that is suppose to work better when at idle and lower engine speeds. Not sure I want to try them they cost about $14 more and some reviews have indicated that they are more likely to brake or not work.
|Well likely going to be out there the 22-24th of April.
|Wish I would have saw you were heading out to the track, I wanna go check out the car. I broke my hub on the svt at an autocross, snapped the same exact way.
Went racing this weekend and was able to complete some things before racing.
I started to have a ticking noise which I almost thought was valve train noise or my Alternator. Took the belt off and found out that it was the accessory idler pulley.
Was able to replace with a plastic GATES one while C-F-M shipped me out a new one with a new design having a press fit bearing.
Also did a full oil change and updated the Thermostat to a 180F.
Was able to get to a dyno and dial in my cams. Remember I am at 4,300 feet and also built for a Turbo but with no Turbo.
Got a final tune from Tom and fill up with 100 Octane at the pump. At $9.029 a gallon its amazing how fast the $ gauge goes.
I was able to lay down a 1.58.7 second lap on Utah Motorsports Campus (formally Miller Motorsports Park). Improved from averaging around 2.02 to 2.05 the first session to having 1.58.7 - 2.00 at the end of the last session.
All was not all smooth though.
Half way through my last session on the first day I started to hear some feathering when taking turns thought it was just my tires warming up. During a lap down on the Attitudes I had some massive brake fade. I came off that lap, (was also low on fuel) and filled up and looked at my front brakes. Saw that it looked my front caliper broke off and the caliper bracket was riding the rotor.
Well the Hub broke...
Had to get a new bearing and hub pressed in. New CV half shaft. New tie-rod end. Used my grinder to grind down the bracket and use a hand file to clean up the bracket. Also flushed the brake fluid. Got it fixed and ran 3 sessions. O'Reilly Auto Parts was able to pull through and with the help of a few connections was able to get me parts delivered and able to get back out on the track. Car was down for less than 18 hours.
Was able to hang out with another HPDE driver working towards Spec Z
Looking forward to another weekend of racing.
Edit: Ha funny thing just happened. The link that I wanted to use for a picture apparently did not pass the expletive filter on the site and was messing up the link from photobucket...
Ha, thanks. Some are not so shiny any more. It's been over two years since my car was back on the road and has seen daily driving. And with power steering leaks and oil leaks things are also coated I grime now again.
I am also consuming more oil than I use to, don't want to think about that. I don't want to replace rings again...
Thanks for the support.
|Ooh, there are so many fresh and shiny parts on your car Magus! Lookin good!
Cross over tube has been installed:
Ran the car for 10 min to warm up and hit pressure. No leaks were seen. Only spilled about 1.5 cups of coolant and was easy.
Not sure what to do with the little clamp that came with the pipe. Zip ties work well for most things, and I lost the hardware long ago that was used to attack the tube to the radiator support bracket.
There are pipe threads on one end that if I wanted a water temp I could put a sensor in. For the time being I have enough gauges.
Signed up for NASA HPDE 2 for March 11th and 12th. I am seeing some ware on the edge of the timing belt and hear a squeak I think coming from one of the pulleys so may have to do a timing belt change here soon.
Got a RAM Mount so I can put my phone in my car inside the windshield and use a track app to accurately get my lap-times.
Appears to be a good mount and holds my phone in nice and solid.
Update for some junk yard work that has been done...
My front seats both had the lever that allows for them to fold forward brake off and take the mounting post with it.
Went to the junk yard and got replacements for both sides so I now have my seats function. When installing I realized that there was aditional features from the 2003 ZX3 that I pulled the passanger side from. This allows the seat to also slide forward along with tilting forward.
went back to the junk yard and swaped out the lower track.
One on the right is the newer track that has an additional weld on bracket for a cable that connects to the lever. so now my seats can pull forward again on both sides and passenger slides forward!
Other update is getting an aluminum crossover tube.
I was not impressed by the lack of deburing and clean up. also the posts that come off the main tube were not ground flush.
but some work with a grinder bit and a dremmel fixed that. After cleaning up and bushing the outside I put a few coats of clear coat on the crossover from tarnishing and allow for easy clean up.
Next projects are to fix the passenger door handle, only closes when the door is locked and only opens from the inside. I have a door handle to swap out I got from the junk yard.
And then install the cross over tube. Tax returns will pay for an tune from Tom and either an OBD2 Bluetooth plug in or a Dual 160A GPS unit for the Harry's Laptimer.
Got things wired up today. I tied into the Green/Blue wire that is the 25 Amp fuse for the front windows. Its a switched power and accessible from inside the car.
Routed wires and installed the gauge in my open location in my custom pod.
It's alive!!!!
Got it wired up and working. So far the 1 min drive I took it seems to read good and at WOT it does not look like I am running lean which is good news . But does look like I am running way richer than I need to. Going to watch how it behaves as I drive into work tomorrow once I go closed loop and am warmed up...
I did put a bottle of fuel treatment in the tank so not sure how that will impact the A/F but cant think it would have to much of an impact on A/F.
Now to get a laptop so I can plug in the Xcal and the Analog input to data log with Tom.
|hmmm.. i used to know. but its been so long that i don't remember. sorry bud

- Mix the cake ingredients according to the directions on the cake-mix package. Spray the three round pans with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pans. Cook the cakes as directed on the box or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove the pans from the oven and cool on cooling racks. Wrap and refrigerate the layers for one hour.
- Cut each layer in two. (You'll need only five layers-save one of the layers in the freezer for another time.)
- Place the pineapple in a bowl and tint it yellow with two drops of yellow food coloring. Mix this with 1/2 cup whipped cream and spread it on the first layer. Place the raspberry jam in a bowl and mix it with two drops of red food coloring and 1/2 cup whipped cream. Spread this on the second layer. Place the apricot jam, one drop of red, and one drop of yellow food coloring in a bowl with 1/2 cup whipped cream and blend. Spread this on the third layer.
- Place the pistachio pudding mix in a bowl and mix it with two drops of green food coloring and 1/2 cup whipped cream. Spread this on the fourth layer. Add the final cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with icing tinted green. (See following recipe.) Draw a shamrock on the middle of the cake with a knife and fill it in with green sugar or sprinkles.
- To make the icing:
- Gradually mix the flour into the milk a bit at a time and cook over low heat until thick (approximately 5 to 10 minutes), stirring constantly. Remove the mixture from the heat and cool.
- Beat the Crisco in a mixer and add the sugar and salt. Beat until fluffy. Add the cooked mixture to the bowl 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the vanilla and 1 to 2 drops of green food coloring and mix until well blended.

Wedding Trivia:RINGRings were used as currency in the Middle East prior to the advent of coinage and were a sign of a persons wealth. In ancient times the wedding ring was thought to protected the bride from "evil spirits". Ancient Roman wedding rings were made of iron. In early Rome a gold band came to symbolize everlasting love and commitment in marriage. Roman wedding rings were carved with two clasped hands. Very early rings had a carved key through which a woman was thought to be able to open her husband's heart.

text: Details Image Shown: , Measurements Good For These Face Shapes Find your face shape (open popup) Find your face shape heart oval round square Defined by its triangular construction, a heart shape face is best matched with a slightly boxier lens frame. An oval-shaped face works with any style of Classic frame. Soft frame angles work just as well as boxier ones - just stick with the high temples. A circular face structure - defined by full cheekbones and a narrow forehead - is best complemented with boxier lens. And the broader the width of the frames, the better. A broad forehead and square jawline usually create a square face shape, perfect for circular lens frames that soften the angles.

I read that Hilbert used the nullstellensatz in algebraic number theory rather than in algebraic geometry. What did he use it for? Today, is the nullstellensatz used in algebraic number theory or other areas apart from algebraic geometry?
closed as not a real question by Andrés E. Caicedo, Andy Putman, Martin Brandenburg, Pete L. Clark, J.C. Ottem Mar 15 '11 at 9:40
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I answer: 'is the Nullstellensatz used in other areas?'
Yes, for example, a variant is used in Combinatorics.
There is a Combinatorial Nullstellensatz (due to N. Alon). The rough idea is to translate certain combinatorial problems into statements on the (non-)vanishing of systems of polynomial equations, and then to analyse this system of polynomial equations.
A question related to it was somewhat recently asked on this site by gowers where you can find details on it.

Responsibilities of the Governing Body
The School Governors' Discipline Committee
Every School Governing Body must:
- review the use of exclusions in the school;
- consider the representaion of the excluded pupil and his / her parents;
- decide whether or not to confirm exclusions;
- have regard to DfE guidance:
Exclusion from maintained schools, Academies and pupil referral units in England
(A guide for those with legal responsibiluities in relation to exclusion.)
The Governing Body can delegate some or all of its functions in respect of exclusions to a committee consisting of at least three governors and such a committee may be called the Discipline Committee.
If a headteacher decides to exclude a pupil both the parent(s) / carer(s) and the Discipline Committee should be promptly informed.
Parents have the right to make representations to the Committee, and can be accompanied to the meeting that will be held to consider the exclusion. The timescales for the Discipline Committee to meet for fixed period or lunchtime exclusions are detailed in the Fixed Exclusions flowchart.
Permanent exclusions
The Discipline Committee must meet within 15 school days after the date that the Committee was informed of the exclusion. After considering the evidence, the Committee can uphold the exclusion decision or reinstate the pupil. See the Perma nent Exclusions flowchart for details.
Independent Reviews Panel
If a parent disagrees with the decision of the Discipline Committee there is a legal right to apply for an Independent Review. If an application for a review is made the Local Authority / Academy Trust must arrange a hearing within 15 school days. The review hearing will include the parent, the pupil, the Headteacher, a member of the Discipline Committee and legal representatives of any party. A panel of three people who are independent from the excluding school / academy will hear the review.
City of Birmingham School (formerly the Behaviour Support Service)If the Discipline Committee upholds the exclusion decision a referral is made to the Local Authority City of Birmingham School.
Arrangements are made for an alternative placement for the pupil. However, if the pupil concerned has a statement of Special Educational Needs, the Local Authority makes a referral to the SEN Assessment and Review (SENAR) service..

It's early morning in the upscale café in the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan. Not my usual hangout, but having spent two days immersed in Brian Keenan's book An Evil Cradling, the story of his almost five years as a hostage in Beirut, it seems fitting, since it's my treat, that we breakfast in nice surroundings.
Seated opposite me, barely touching his pancakes, Keenan, 58, speaks in a soft Belfast accent. He is in good spirits, but a little abashed at the reaction to a talk he gave at a conference the day before.
Many of the audience members had been moved to tears by his stories, and his vision of a united Ireland, which he said "must be a place of imagination, intellectual not political." He received a standing ovation.
Asked why he got such a reaction from the 700 plus audience, gathered for a Unite Ireland Conference hosted by Sinn Féin, Keenan explains: "When I was asked to do it I said yes instinctively. When I sat down to prepare for it I realized, holy God, how can you take five centuries of trouble, despair and a bloodbath and bring it to a place in fifteen minutes? And so I had to go back to my stories. I knew it had to be a very personal thing because we're all engaged with this personally whatever our politics might be."
The stories that Keenan told – about the taunting of the only Catholic boy who lived on his street; about an old Protestant woman crying on learning of Bloody Sunday; about a Catholic barman breaking in a pair of shoes for Keenan's father so he could walk more easily in a July 12th Orange Parade – were very effective in putting a human face on the Troubles. Pete Hamill, the American writer who moderated the conference, and talked about people like his own Belfast-born parents "being hurt out of Ireland," was among those visibly moved by Keenan's stories, which are now included with other stories in a newly released memoir of Keenan's childhood, I'll Tell Me Ma.
Much has been made of the fact that Keenan was born into an Ulster Protestant family and brought up in a strict sectarianism culture. He explains why he escaped contamination.
"My dad was an Orangeman but he was a socialist in his own way, he had very strong views on it. He was the most unusual Irishman, I can tell you. Well, he was a Mason. My mother had a kind of Mother Earth thing going. She was always doing things for the neighbors. You know the way working class women do." She also sent the minister "the hell away" from the door when he called to complain that the young Keenan was asking too many "awkward questions" at Sunday school. "I didn't have all that church contamination. My father and mother whenever [questionable] things came up weren't too taken aback, and neither was I, consequently."
Asked about his story of stopping his buddies from taunting a Catholic boy, he said: "It was this kind of intuitive thing that kids have about what's just and what's fair. And [the boy's] sense of alienation mirrored something that was articulating back to me in an unspoken way. There were lines of psychological and emotional connection. One was about justice and one was about being different. And he mirrored me and I mirrored him and it couldn't have been a reason thing at that age." Brian explained further: "I suppose I always was a reflective child. I wasn't like the other kids. I had what's called buck teeth, very prominent teeth. So I got called names like Bugs Bunny, which didn't seem to bother me. Your mates are still your mates ('Listen, Bugsy'). It really only bothered me once girls came onto the scene 'because who's gonna kiss you, man?' And I didn't play football and if I was picked I was the last person picked to play. So I read books."
The first book he read was Jack London's Call of the Wild. And half a century later he says he can remember it. "I was about nine when I read it. While my mates were out kicking a football or robbing orchards I was reading Jack London and running with a pack of wolves. So I suppose I was quiet, reflective in that sense. I got a lot of compensation out of taking myself other places or going other places imaginatively. Imagination was always a buoyant lifebelt I wore."
Keenan left school at fourteen to become a heating engineer. Later he decided to become a teacher and enrolled at university. In 1986, at age 30, he found himself at loose ends; his friends were all getting married, and he decided that he needed a change of scene. "I was tired of the intransigeance, the backward mess, the terrible sense of stoppage, politically and socially. I'm saying that about myself on a personal level too. I wasn't married. I didn't have a job."
He applied for a position to teach English at the American University in Beruit and was accepted. Four months into his contract, in April 1986, he was kidnapped by fundamentalist Shi'ite militiamen and held hostage, apparently because they believed he was British. Despite pleas from the Irish Embassy in Beirut (he was traveling on an Irish passport) and an active campaign put together by his two sisters back in Belfast, he remained hostage for almost five years until he was finally released into Syrian custody in August, 1990.

When I boot up or log into gnome-classic (no effects), windows don't have the frame around them that has the minimize and close buttons and all that. After that, there all sorts of issues - for example, when I open a new window, it's in the very top left corner, obscuring the menu on the gnome panel... just a whole bunch of minor annoyances.
I can get things working by by loading the compiz fusion icon and then selecting to reload the window manager.
Of course this is less than ideal. How do I get the window manager to load automatically?
Update: It seems that I get no window manager whenever I load Compiz, even after logging in. So it looks like the problem is more generally with Compiz's window manager.

Growing up in Afghanistan, CU-Boulder student Lima Esslam came to understand the pressure that many young women face to accept offers for arranged marriage. Now, a senior pursuing a degree in women and gender studies, she has career aspirations of working with organizations that promote women's safety and education.
When Esslam recently returned to Afghanistan for family weddings, she became even more aware of the reality that young Afghan women often face.
"I found out more about how girls are getting married at a young age, and I read about it and did more research," said Esslam, who also volunteers at CU-Boulder's Women's Resource Center. "About 57 percent of girls who are under the age of 16 are forced into marrying an older man."
Esslam explained that arranged marriages have not historically represented such an age gap. But because there are less young men present during years of war, more families are offering their young daughters to marry older men. Additionally, marriage symbolizes both honor and security for the bride and her family.
"It's a cultural thing. Even if a girl receives an education and goes out on her own, she might not be safe. She might get kidnapped," Esslam said. "Then there would be a spot on the family's honor."
Esslam recently participated in an international event called One Billion Rising, a movement dedicated to ending violence against women, where she created and performed "Child Bride," a performance that was inspired by a CU class she took called "Performing Voices of Women." During the semester, each student created four theatrical performances to share with fellow classmates on a given topic. After Esslam's final performance, originally titled "Child Marriage," theater professor Beth Osnes encouraged her to connect with One Billion Rising.
Along with her parents and five brothers, Esslam came to the United States in 2004, spending the latter part of her childhood in Thornton before coming to study at CU-Boulder. Returning to Afghanistan, she said, is part of her long-term goal.
"It could be dangerous for me, but I'm not really scared," said Esslam. "I could build up a dozen lives there."
She also has come to understand the value of education for women around the world.
"Education is freedom," Esslam said. "It helps women get out of the box and break all the barriers. It gives them the freedom to share their voice."

FORT HOOD (December 14, 2012)--An Army pilot declared an emergency Friday morning as he was taxiing along an apron at Robert Gray Army Airfield.
III Corps and Fort Hood spokesman Tyler Broadway said the airplane never became airborne and was immediately directed to a nearby hangar.
The pilot and two passengers were on board the C-12 and none was injured, Broadway said.
There was no explanation of the incident that called for the emergency declaration, he said.
The incident did not create any other hazard at the airfield and aviation operations continued as normal, Broadway said.

I am considering buying an ebook reader but not only to read books but to use websites, write notes if possible, keep a library of texts I use in teaching, reference, etc. The price for these ebook readers are better than for a netbook. Which one is better? Kindle Fire or Nook Color?. I read the Nook has Android which it seems better for extra features. Suggestions? Thanks
I don't have a Nook Color, so I can't give you a judgment of which is better. I do have a Kindle Fire, and I'm reasonably happy with it as a small tablet and productivity tool.
As an e-reader, I prefer the Kindle 3. The e-ink screen is much better for reading text.
But if you're going to have an active backlit screen, the Kindle Fire works just fine. The size is good, I'm able to hold it comfortably in one hand. The on-screen keyboard in landscape mode isn't quite big enough for me to be comfortable touch typing, but in portrait mode it works well for thumb typing. The screen is clear and easy to read. Some people complain about problems with the touch screen, my experience is that a light touch is better than a heavy one, and I don't have any trouble. I'm disappointed that the browser hasn't been particularly quick, after all the hype I read about it. And the placement of the power switch is just stupid, fortunately most apps recognize when the KFire has been rotated, so the switch is on the top instead of the bottom.
The KFire is limited to the Amazon app store - they've gone to some effort to keep you out of the Android marketplace. That said, if you have another way to get a .pki file on to the machine (load from PC via USB, download from somewhere other than app store) there's no problem with installing it. Be aware that the OS it runs is heavily customized, every Android app isn't guaranteed to work.
In terms of productivity apps, I am successfully running:
And that's about everything I need to be productive anywhere.
The Kindle Fire also sports the Android OS.
Ars Technicha has a breakdown of the differences.
I have a Nook Color. It now has a Netflix app and I have watched and enjoyed videos on it. It does not have a very loud audio though, so I would recommend headphones.
Overall I love my Nook Color, and may upgrade someday to a Nook Tablet. It is great for web browsing as long as you have wifi, and since you can connect it to a computer you can download all sorts of documents in pdf or epub formats. i love it for reading ebooks - have not noticed the eye strain that people who use e-ink e-readers mention, and have read some books with marvelous color illustrations that looked terrific on my NC.
I bought a kindle a little while ago for the same reasons as you mention - and all I can say is that it's wonderful for reading books, and very little else. There is nothing I do (apart from reading books) that is quicker, more effective, or easier on the kindle than either getting my laptop out (for the first six months of owning it) or doing on my phone (which is what I do now I got a fancy smartphone).
I have a Nook Color and I think it is GREAT!!!!!! It has a lcd screen that still shows color at the extreme angles. The Kindle Fire also has a lcd screen. They both have the same amount of pixels. The Nook has a bigger book selection while the Kindle has a better selection of apps. The Nook does not have a camera or a mic, the Kindle does not either but there is another version of the Kindle with both. I read happily with my Nook Color, it is much better if you prefer reading but the Kindle has a faster web browser and runs Android more freely. The Nook feels excellent in your hands, the kindle also but the Nook is much better then the Kindle when it comes to reading books and writing notes, so I would go with the Nook.
Hope this helped!
As a Nook Color owner, here is my take on its benefits:
If you plan on heavy usage of the internet, I'd look into an actual Android tablet. You can get a dual core tablet at higher GHz than the Nook for around the same price. (Nook Color has a 800 MHz single core processor)
You are probably looking for the new Nook HD. It is the latest Nook, and only runs around $200, with its own dual core processor at 1.3GHz. I would read the reviews on B&N.

The NFL's Brilliant Weekend
That was not your typical football celebration in Atlanta. That was something else—something frantic, panicky, exasperated, hopeless, sweaty, relieved. Have you ever realized that you left your wallet on a park bench—only to run back and discover it lying there untouched? That is what the Falcons must have felt like after Sunday's feverish, last-second victory over relentless Seattle. Yes: If you were an Atlanta fan, you were thrilled to get the 30-28 win. You were happy. But you also needed to go somewhere quiet and lie down.
It was another amazing game in an NFL weekend full of them. Saturday and Sunday were rich with the kind of action that showed why this billion-dollar game, despite its abundant controversies and flaws, still lights cigars with $100 bills. The previous weekend's playoff football pretty much stunk: four wild-card games, four worthless turkeys, capped by that stomach-churning bummer in Washington with the grim sight of a neglected, limping Robert Griffin III. Dull was dully redefined. And then that BCS championship between Alabama and Notre Dame on Monday came along and dragged dull into a drowsy art form.
More NFL Playoff Coverage
But this weekend? This weekend was football done radically better. Games like Saturday's divisional playoff between Baltimore and Denver made an easy case for the nation's comical NFL compulsion. Ravens-Broncos was the kind of football game we will show to the aliens to explain why people grill when it's 12 degrees outside and sleep in tacky polyester blankets with helmets on them. Ravens-Broncos was not a perfect game. It was sloppy. There was some goofy officiating and dubious coaching—Denver's John Fox elected not to give Peyton Manning a crack with a half-minute left in regulation—and not every great player reached the best of his ability. But this game delivered. It was close. It held tense. Momentum swung. It felt like it was eight hours long, and it wasn't a wasted eight hours. There were spectacular moments—a 90-yard punt return; a 104-yard kickoff return (both by the same player, Denver's Trindon Holliday); a 70-yard game-tying touchdown pass in the final minute by Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco. It blasted into overtime, which was a bit listless, until Manning threw an interception, and Baltimore rookie Justin Tucker kicked a 47-yard field goal to give the Ravens and ready-to-sunset linebacker Ray Lewis an improbable date in the AFC championship.
"That football game did the game of football proud," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said when it was over. This was true, and its timing was excellent. Even if you forget last weekend's playoff slog, NFL football has been feeling a little bad about itself, and justifiably so. A popular sport is tormented from within, beset by anxiety over long-term player safety, to the point where there are legitimate worries about its future. Relationships between the league and its players, agitated by a bungled Saints "bounty" scandal, are fractious at best. A replacement-referee fiasco undid the first chunk of the season. During low moments like those, the NFL doesn't look like the most powerful and beloved sport in the country. It looks suddenly fragile.
But then games like Ravens-Broncos occur and all of those uncomfortable feelings evaporate. Then San Francisco and Green Bay went out in Saturday's nightcap and almost matched Denver and Baltimore, at least for a while. It was 24-21 at the half. In the second half, it evolved from being a competitive game to a coronation. The coronation was for the second-year San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, whom the 49ers turned to in the middle of the season, putting aside Alex Smith, who nearly led the team to the Super Bowl last season. The dynamic Kaepernick offers something that Smith can't, and though this was apparent during his regular-season starts, it manifested into something beautiful versus the Packers. He passed for 263 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed—rushed!—for 181 yards and two more touchdowns. His quarterback rating was…oh, who cares. Numbers do no justice to the visual evidence. Kaepernick looks truly unstoppable at times, an absurd new take on the quarterback position. He is 6 feet 5, 230 pounds and throws the ball on a wire, and when he runs, he runs upright, long-legged, like a 200-meter sprinter, eyes fixed straightforward. It's riveting. He resembles a man chasing a car down a highway. Kaepernick is immediately the most exciting player in the NFL—if you watched Saturday, you will agree this is inarguable—and now a colossal headache for any opponent.
San Francisco travels to Atlanta next Sunday. The prospect of Kaepernick being Kaepernick in a climate-controlled dome will unnerve easily unnerved Falcons fans, but at least there's been modest playoff advancement. Atlanta, of course, has been home to the University of Postseason Underachievement: Until beating Seattle, coach Mike Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan had yet to win a playoff game. But once more, they will be asked to stop an emerging NFL dynamo—on Sunday it was Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who clawed his team back from a 20-point deficit and nearly caused a heartbreaker before Ryan led a final-minute drive for a 49-yard Matt Bryant field goal.
Baltimore, meanwhile, gets a return AFC title visit to New England, which beat Houston 41-28. The Patriots are desperate to get to New Orleans and win a fourth ring, but will have to make do without tight end Rob Gronkowski, reportedly lost for the year after reinjuring his arm. Again there's the subplot of a potential Super Bowl matchup between the Harbaugh brothers—John of Baltimore and Jim of San Francisco, the Wright Brothers of sideline intensity. There are surely other subplots waiting. This is what it's all about. This is why we watch. We are getting down to the final days of the NFL season and, as always, you are going to miss this crazy game when it's gone.
