Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
Customizable (the box includes two point sizes, as well as these little colored rings so you can "personalize" your stylus).
Extendable (it shortens so it can actually fit in your pocket)
Metal body
Actually feels like holding a pen
Pocket clip
Skips a bit. (I have an Otterbox case, so the plastic overlay might be the issue here.)
The metal cap that covers the pointing tip doesn't fit securely on the other end of the stylus (like a pen cap)-- so you either use the headphone jack attachment, or just risk losing the cap altogether.
The headphone jack attachment (which is supposed attach the stylus to the device via its cap)
There's also no pen -- it's just a stylus. Initially, I thought that what I wanted was just a stylus, but after using several pen/stylus combo models, I found that I actually miss having the pen.
In all, the stylus is pretty great for drawing on a tablet, and that's primarily how I use it. Any other activity, however, is often more convenient to complete without this extra little gadget. The cap not fitting on the the opposite end of the stylus is probably my biggest complaint design-wise... so, while the pocket clip is great, I'd actually sacrifice that if I didn't have to worry about losing the cap all the time. I don't use the headphone jack attachment: not only does my Otterbox case not permit that conveniently, but what if I am actually using the headphones? Plus, who wants a haphazardly dangling stylus? ;-)
I have owned one type of Wacom digitizer tablet or another since my Toshiba XP Tablet Edition, tablet in 2000. That said I have used many types of stylus. (Is the plural Styli? jk) there have been many attempts at making what l consider to be the best stylus.
These newer types that work on both digitizer and capacitive screens, are obviously in the forefront of the technology. However not all of these are the BAMBOO Expandable pocket stylus.
This is fluidity in motion. It can write a fine line or a broad stroke.It can even feather nicely(yes the reviewer with the Otterbox was right in[well mostly right, he should have assigned full blame] assigning partial blame to the plastic screen protector for interference. It even states this in the mini manual that comes with it.
If you have gorilla glass or gorilla glass ll forget about a screen protector(unless you are the type to toss diamonds in your pocket with your smartphone, or tablet.) I have not been able to purposefully scratch my devices starting with my Dell Streak 5(the first Phablet) and ending with the Samsung Note ll, from which l write this review.
Most stylus are not balanced making them inferior right off. Let's face it, balance is key to making an effective stylus. Next is weight. Third is fluidity.
This particular BAMBOO model has all three in spades.
Even with the extendible upper part closed down, the balance of this is incredible. I'm in IT so l know technology. Could they have built a pen into this, yes, amd I'm sure there would be a market for that model, just not from me. I used to create 3D models back in the late 90's. I enjoyed the process, and even started skinning(creating the outside image.Read more ›
-the weight is nice
-the availablity of colors
-the pen "clip" style top, that clipped nicely to my case.
What I didn't like:
It was no better than the kuel stylus I'd bought and, until a few days ago, had lost. And that was a fraction of the price. It was actually less precise for fine-line writing; only marginally better than using my finger.
I exchanged it for the impressive and comparably priced "pogo sketch pro", which is longer and easier to hold, comes with two kinds of tips (plus, tips are replaceable!), and writes impeccably/slides over the screen perfectly. I found out about the pogo through the app "Penultimate", which gives you a discount code if you purchase through them. (Click around to the "things we like".)
I actually like the Wacom "Bamboo Paper" app much better for handwritten notes though- it allows you to select a thinner stroke (line) than the others, and that makes a huge difference, even if it doesn't offer the protection against marks made by your wrist bumping the page, like Penultimate does.
Maybe Penultimate will read this and add some thinner stroke weights.
Anyway, I'd bypass this one for the Pogo Sketch Pro.

Chronic diseases linked to obesity and overconsumption of food are now a bigger global healthcare burden than illness and disease caused by malnutrition, according to the most comprehensive disease report ever produced on global health issues.
Scooped by
Ray and Terry's
onto Longevity science
For the first time ever, diseases associated with obesity are now more of a global health burden the lack of nutrition. This investigation has been going for 5 years with over 50 scientists exploring the deep issues of obesity. I believe it's a personal decision too eat badly, don't do enough physical activity, drink to much, smoke to many cigars and just don't look after your body the way were meant to. Rising numbers of obesity has been increased with young adults over the years. The biggest global risks effecting people is high blood rate, which is also the biggest neglected global health in most countries.
These scientists thankfully have put out antidotes that have helped save many millions of kids and adults from obesity. We really need more help like this in society, we need to team up and help out each other, were all human no one is special so don't be afraid to ask for help.

Winter at North Bondi Fish
Things are changing at North Bondi Fish, Matt Moran's sprawling seafood restaurant with its famous ocean views. The venue has had a spruce up and new head chef Zac Sykes (Coogee Pavilion, the Fish Shop) has revamped the menu with fresh, seasonal and sustainable produce. "My favourite dish at the moment is butter poached cuttlefish, fennel and lemon balm risotto with nori powder," says Sykes. "I love using cuttlefish as it has great flavour and just like Aussie calamari, it's sustainable, so you know it's not overfished in any part of Australia." Head into North Bondi Fish on a Thursday or Friday night and you can try one of Sykes' #notjustfish creations, where he favours the likes of pork belly with braised cabbage and polenta or slow-cooked beef shin over seafood. Enjoy the special with a carafe of wine for two people at $30 per head. Winter warmer cocktails are also available throughout the cooler months and include tasty adult treats such as an Irish Coffee or a Kentucky Toddy served in a teacup. Or pop on down for Aperitivo hours, Wednesday to Friday from 4-6pm. NBF are also hosting an after party for City2Surf. Tickets include a three-hour beverage package, food by Sykes and DJ Alice Q playing on the balcony from 9am. Now that's what we'd call a fun run. Winter trading hours are Wednesday to Sunday, noon till late.
Rock Lily Trivia Tuesdays
Rock Lily, the music-comedy-entertainment venue on Level 1 at The Star, Pyrmont, has a trivia night every Tuesday, from 7.30pm. There's no cover charge, pizzas are just $10, there are $15 beer jugs and parking is free if you spend $15 in one go. Now here's the kicker. Many pub trivias will give you $100 in bar credit as first prize. Hell, some will give you less. But at Rock Lily the prize is a cool $500 cash – every single Tuesday. Plus, there are prizes worth $100 and $50 for second and third place respectively, and spot prizes throughout the night. That's right. Win the comp and half a K is yours for the taking, no strings attached. Mind you, with such a generous jackpot at stake, The Star are serious about the cardinal rule of trivia: namely, no phones, tablets, notes, newspapers or other forms of external assistance – on pain of disqualification. They monitor this closely, so hands off the phones, people. Teams can be as small as two and as large as ten. The smaller the team that triumphs the bigger the individual cut, but then the bigger the team the wider your knowledge base. There are two rounds of 20 questions. Good luck.
Heineken City Shapers Festival Sydney
We all dream of a whirlwind holiday, but the realities of jetlag and airport lounges are not always as romantic as you imagine them to be, which is why on Wednesday night Heineken treated special guests to a round-the-world experience that didn't require passports. Hosted by Freda's, Chippendale's beloved party bar, guests were greeted by samba dancers and live percussionists before heading inside to experience a little taste of the world's greatest cities, from Amsterdam (home of Heineken) to New York, Singapore, Rio De Janeiro and Berlin. First stop was Singapore where guests were treated to a cold, crisp Heineken and a box of freshly cooked Singapore noodles packed with juicy prawns and chicken. The next station was channeling Amsterdam with local Draught Ambassador Callum teaching guests about the art of a perfectly poured Heineken. Over at the New York corner, guests got to sample beef sliders and hot dogs, treat their ears to the soulful sounds of some live trumpet while enjoying a Manhattan made by the Freda's crew. Adding some tropical vibes into a wintry evening in Sydney, the Rio stand's samba dancers helped amp up the party vibes for a visit to Berlin, where a DJ was pumping the party tracks. Because you always come home from a holiday with presents there was also a competition on the night to win two Heineken gift packs. All guests needed to do was answer the five questions displayed on the walls and hand their form to our friendly Time Out crew. Sure, we'd

After struggling with her health for years—surviving cancer and developing Type 2 diabetes—Patti Goldenson decided to turn her life around. Since joining CrossFit South Bay in Torrance, California, she's lost 135 lb. and no longer needs to take diabetes medication.
Goldenson's journey began after she broke her back at work. While she was in recovery, her physical therapist, Ron Satow, invited her to a contest at his gym. He was surprised when "she actually did show up" on a Saturday morning.
"She was prepared for a change," Satow says.
Goldenson also remembers that first morning: "I went over there and sat in my car. I couldn't get out. I was so scared. I wanted to go so bad, but I didn't think I could."
After overcoming the initial intimidation, she found a supportive community.
"There was also this energy there. It felt like people really cared," she says.
Eventually she was able to quiet the inner voice that was telling her she couldn't do it, and she kept coming back. Now she's reclaiming her health and proving that great things are possible when you find the courage to make changes in your life.
"You have to accept where you are and start from there," she says. "Everyone starts from where they're at."

Product Description
Product Description
The highly anticipated complete series of one of the most acclaimed events in television history finally comes to DVD. This definitive Twin Peaks Gold Box Edition has been carefully supervised by David Lynch and will include for the first time ever on DVD the original and the European version of the pilot. This 10-disc groundbreaking series will feature all 30 newly re-mastered episodes, all-new 5.1 Surround Sound and is loaded with exclusive featurettes, new interviews, introductions and much much more! No DVD collection is complete without Twin Peaks: The Definitive Gold Box Edition!
Season 1
Twin Peaks devotees, who have kept the mystery alive on myriad Web sites, will jump at the chance to return to the spooky town that might just be the anti-Mayberry. Rarely syndicated, the Twin Peaks television series has lost none of its quirky and queasy power to get under your skin and haunt your dreams. So brew up a pot of some "damn fine coffee," dig into some cherry pie, and lose yourself in David Lynch and Mark Frost's murder mystery and soap opera, which unfolds, in one character's words, "like a beautiful dream and terrible nightmare all at once." Twin Peaks was a pop culture phenomenon for one season at least, until the increasingly bizarre twists and maddening teases so confounded audiences that they lost interest in just who killed Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). This series was a career peak for most of its eclectic ensemble cast, including Kyle MacLachlan as straight-arrow FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, Michael Ontkean as local Sheriff Harry S. Truman, Sherilyn Fenn as bad girl Audrey Horne, Peggy Lipton as waitress Norma Jennings, and Catherine Coulson as the Log Lady. Alumni enjoying current success include Lara Flynn Boyle ("The Practice"), as good girl Donna Hayward, and Miguel Ferrer ("Crossing Jordan"), hilarious as forensics expert Albert Rosenfield (who has absolutely no "social niceties").--Donald Liebenson
Season 2
"Don't search for all the answers at once," says a giant appearing to FBI Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in a vision. "A path is formed by laying one stone at a time." In Twin Peaks, that's easier said than done. Over the course of two seasons, that path went nowhere and everywhere. "Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, and luck" don't cut it here. It also takes a little magic, which is what makes David Lynch and Mark Frost's bracingly original serial drama one of TV's ultimate trips, and still the stuff that fever dreams are made of. With the DVD release of season 2, die-hard Peakers can rekindle their obsession with this macabre, maddening, sinister, and surreal series set in the rural Pacific Northwest community whose bucolic surroundings hide "things dark and heinous." (If you're new to Twin Peaks, best to get the lay of the land by watching the brilliant feature-length pilot and the instant-cult-classic first season, which capture Twin at its peak.) Three main mysteries drive season 2. First, there's the still (!) unresolved murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Then, there's the question of who shot Cooper in the season 1 cliffhanger. And finally, ultimately: What about Bob? With its dream logic, bizarre behavior, and nightmare imagery, much of what transpires goes right by you. Some subplots (Sherilyn Fenn's sexpot Audrey held captive at the bordello, One-Eyed Jacks) are easier to latch on to than others (amnesiac Nadine believes she's an 18-year-old high schooler) And, yes, that's a pre-X-Files David Duchovny as Dennis/Denice, a transsexual DEA agent.
In Twin Peaks' second season, the truth is out there, but we are entering A Few Good Men territory. When Laura's killer is at last revealed in episode 16, no doubt many will not be able to handle the truth. The teases, red herrings, and out-and-out gonzo looniness will try the patience of viewers with a more conventional bent. But, as Cooper observes at one point, "All in all, [it's] a very interesting experience," with enough doppelgangers, allusions, pop-culture references, and in-jokes to keep bloggers buzzing. If, for example, you get any pleasure from recognizing Hank Worden, who played Mose in The Searchers, as "the world's most decrepit room service waiter," then Twin Peaks may just make you feel right at home. --Donald Liebenson
On the DVDs
Twin Peaks lived in its own bizarre, dark, amazing, fantasy world, fresh from the mind of creator David Lynch. The extra features on this Gold Box edition (which includes both seasons and the long-awaited pilot) intend to draw you into the milieu surrounding the world of the story, and offer you a glimpse into the gestation and making of the show, while gently poking fun at itself. To quote Lynch at the beginning of A Slice of David Lynch, "This is the strangest damn thing." He's referring to the act of sitting on a set in Los Angeles, drinking coffee and eating cherry pie with cast members Madchen Amick, Kyle MacLachlan, and personal assistant John Wentworth years after the show ended. But he may as well have also been referring to the show itself, and to the enormous popular phenomenon it accidentally became. As can be inferred from the title, A Slice of Lynch is a glimpse inside the creative mind of Lynch through his interactions with his old stars and assistant, and watching this, you can't help but understand that Lynch operates on a different plain from normal humanity, and his artistic process, while often befuddling, yields incredibly original results to a degree that almost boggles the mind; happy accidents seem to stem from almost every artistic decision he makes. The strength of this feature is that it makes it clear that the world of Twin Peaks really existed, it just happened to live in the minds of David Lynch and co-writer Mark Frost. Twin Peaks Festival is almost an afterthought, it doesn't fit with the rest of the features in depth or insight, but curious fans will get a kick out of seeing what happens when the most rabid, hardcore Twin Peaks gather in the Northwest--on the sights of many of the show's scenes--for a fan festival that beats the heck out of any Star Trek convention. Secrets from Another Place: Creating Twin Peaks offers a meaty, four-part look into how the show came about, the filming of both seasons, and the creation of the music by composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise. Black Lodge Archive features six different items ranging from the "Falling" music video to bumpers and galleries that don't do much to offer insight into the show, but they offer an unexpected, added bonus: watching Agent Cooper hawk Georgia Coffee in ads that aired only in Japan. They are quite possibly more hilarious and bizarre than anything in the show itself. The features do a great job of reminding an old audience, and explaining to a new one, why the show had such a devoted following. To quote one actress from the show: "It was unique, it came at a time when television was boring... there was nothing else like it on television." --Daniel Vancini

Finally, the series is complete on DVD, the original movie pilot and all the episodes, along with the option of a log lady intro (another favourite character) and a bonus disc of deleted scenes, the documentary "A Slice of Lynch," the feature length "Secrets from Another Place," on the show, as well as the famous Saturday Night Live sketch with MacLachlan, music videos and more. There's even a selection of a dozen postcards from Twin Peaks included, though of course this is a clever way to get you to mail ads for this set all over the continent. I even like the way the discs are packaged, easily accessed because it's like flipping through a book.
Peaks fans may want to check out Carnivale, the HBO series that also finds themes of good versus evil, and borrows the surreal tone of Twin Peaks.
Atmospheric, mysterious, intriguing, smart,...Words are just not capable to describe this prematurely terminated series! Every time I watch it I discover another moment, another gem I treasure. Too bad the network executives decided to, first, meddle with the plot and, when this backfired, they treated this masterpiece as filler material. No wonder ratings floundered resulting in the series eventual cancellation.
True, the 25 years are not up yet. However, I think that Agent Cooper has remained trapped in the Waiting Area long enough. Let's all petition David Lynch for a long-awaited movie or TV mini-series to tidy things up.
This particular BoxSet is everything Season 2 was not: excellent picture and sound quality AND all the missing Extras! Commercials, trailers and product spin-offs...
My advice: if you already own Season 1, sell it, avoid Season 2, and buy this one.
Own it and make weekends out of it. Once in a blue moon a certain magic manifests amongst us. One that never fades.
And there is always music in the air.
How do I know? A gentle giant told me.
Though it lasted only two seasons, David Lynch and Mark Frost's classic series is a brilliant piece of television, with dozens of intertwined subplots and a mystery death that goes a lot deeper than just murder. For the very first time, both seasons AND the pilot are united in this box set -- a must have for cult TV enthusiasts.
The body of a beautiful young woman, Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), washes up on shore, "wrapped in plastic." It seems everyone in the town of Twin Peaks adored her, so her death is a blow. FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) is assigned to the case -- which seems connected to his past work -- so he settles down at the comfy Twin Peaks hotel and continues investigating.
And Twin Peaks' secrets start surfacing -- love affairs, madness, wackos, corporate devilry, and drugrunning. And clues about Laura are cropping up: a bloody shirt, a drug deal, a secret affair and a heart necklace. People catch glimpses of a one-armed man and a grey-haired killer -- and Cooper has a prophetic dream with both men, as well as a red room, a double of Laura Palmer, and a tiny man who dances to jazz music.
The second season introduces more unrest for the inhabitants of Twin Peaks -- and an injured Cooper (Kyle McLachlan) has a vision that may have something to do with Laura Palmer's death. Midway through the season he finds who it was (or rather, who it SEEMS to be). But that's not the only plotline in the second season -- we also get a psychopathic ex-Fed, parasitic demons, a disastrous beauty pageant, strange caves, and a twin pair of "Lodges" that seem to exist outside space and time...Read more ›
Who killed Laura Palmer?
Though the main characters are Agent Dale and Sheriff Truman, Twin Peaks is an ensemble show since each episode narrates a complete day, which includes the lives of Twin Peaks residents, and the Laura Palmer investigation. For each episode, we witness characters' pains and joys of their lives, but we slowly find out that Laura herself was not who she was and that dangerous forces haunt the woods of Twin Peaks. Not only that, we also witness an awesome romance between Audrey Horne and Special Agent Dale Cooper, which gave to its actress Sherilyn Fenn the success she deserved.
As such, the show itself can switch emotions very quickly, going from drama to comedy, then towards pure terror. As such, the show is not your usual drama-investigation-soap opera. Even the music that Angelo Badalamenti did completely differs to what was done in the eighties and today. It haunts your heart as tunes like Falling, Audrey's Dance, Laura's Theme, and the Woods' Theme play in the background.Read more ›

Bronze Age Burial Uncovered in Scottish Playground
Thursday, February 13, 2014
EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND—A 4,000-year-old skeleton with worn teeth was uncovered in a school playground. Archaeologists had been looking for traces of a medieval harbor in the village of Newhaven when they found the Bronze Age man, who had been about 50 years old when he died. He was buried in a crouching position with a pottery vessel. His teeth were probably worn from a diet of bread made from stone-ground grain. "We have removed the bones—the skull and bones from the upper body and arms, the pelvis and leg bones. Some of the middle is missing after being disturbed, possibly in the medieval period," Edinburgh City Council's archaeology officer, John Lawson, told The Edinburgh Evening News.

Things I liked: This is a great fit for Nitro Piston, Ruger Blackhawk and Airhawk, Winchester Springers, and the economy Hatsan in .25. Much better than bad plastic rear sights that this class of springers come with in box. I have read so many comments about mag springers being "scope destroyers" this is a logical alternative for close and mid range.
Things I would have changed: One word: CRUDE. I have Beeman peep sights from '90s. They actually are click adjustments with knobs to turn. This is the closest I could find on PA site. But the Williams site works great on my $100 Fury NP. Still, an upgrade to click movements - even with price hike - would be worth extra $. Beeman produced one with small screws that a mini screwdriver could operate. Williams could do that. The windage is a piece you slide side to side and then screw down. It can work, but look to small notch in front of sight hole, in good light, to line up with lines. The elevation is functional; just make sure to tighten lateral screw on left side to lock down elevation arm, when ready, after adjustments.
What others should know: For gas spring users, in addition to heavy ammo like JSB Monsters or Beasts, make sure to Loctite lateral screws on peep site and scope stop. Even with 25 grain Monsters that REALLY slowed down my NP, and made my Fury useful, easier to shoot, and accurate, the jolt still backed out screws. Loctite Blue.

Things I liked: Good construction, very solid, very rugged, and very accurate on my Hatsan 100X.
Things I would have changed: Add a stop pin that is built in, and increase the amount of lateral adjustment you can provide. Mine is currently almost maxed out to the left to get my rifle to shoot properly.
What others should know: This isn't a top-of-the-line sight, but it is top-notch. If you purchase it, be prepared to make concessions and have some slugs nearby. I was pretty salty about it for about an hour until I got it sighted in, but once I did I couldn't be happier.

Things I liked: Crisp and clear, can use as a ghost ring sight by removing aperture disc.
Things I would have changed: Nothing. Simple and works.
What others should know: Stock blocks downward elevation changes. Requires inletting upper stock on left side.Something I will not do on my 50S. Restricts ammo choices to heavier pellets which print higher on target. Mine has target knobs which I like.

Joshua Atwater
Learn about sponsoring this memorial...
Hampden County
Massachusetts, USA
Feb. 6, 1870
Madison County
Illinois, USA
Born in Massachusetts, Joshua Atwater and his wife, Rebecca, were among the early settlers of the Edwardsville area. Teacher and later merchant, Mr. Atwater became a prosperous member of the community. After the death of his first wife, he married Mrs. Celia Jett on 30 Apr 1845.
Brink's HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY, ILLINOIS, 1882, pp 334-335, reports:
Joshua Atwater was one of the earliest school-teachers in Edwardsville. He emigrated from Westfield, Massachusetts, to St. Clair county, in 1801, and taught school in Illinois as early as the year 1807. He became a citizen of Madison county in 1817. He was a man of New England education and habits. He was the founder of, perhaps, the first charitable institution organized in the Territory of Illinois. This society, which was formed March 1st, 1809, was called the "Charitable Society," and its members bound themselves to make quarterly contributions to a fund which was to be employed for the relief of the oppressed and afflicted of all ranks and colors, without discrimination or prejudice." The constitution is drawn up in the handwriting of Mr. Atwater, and his name, although he was then a poor man, appears at the head of the list for the highest amount subscribed. He began the mercantile business in Edwardsville in 1820, which he carried on till 1837.
An article in the "Edwardsville Intelligencer" of 27 March 1889 discussing the history of the school system, reported that Joshua Atwater opened the first school in Edwardsville, probably in 1807. Apparently he was not the only Atwater to teach in the community. Among the other teachers a bit later of Edwardsville was Thomas Atwater, a brother of Joshua. Thomas was well educated but suffered from rheumatism and his "equanimity" was often tested. In the 1830s, a sister of Josiah and Thomas arrived in Edwardsville, Mrs. Stearns, and opened a school. An industrious educator, she arranged spelling bees in which other schools might participate. Her zeal and enthusiasm were contagious and for a time her school was the only one in Edwardsville.
The obituary of Mr. Atwater appeared in the EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER, 10 February 1870:
JOSHUA ATWATER. -- The subject of this sketch died in Edwardsville on the 6 inst., in the 94 year of his age. At the time of his death, Mr. Atwater was probably the oldest citizen of Madison County, if not the oldest of the State, having emigrated from Westfield, Mass., his native town, to Illinois, in the year 1801. In 1807 he taught the first public school in St. Clair County. In 1809 he organized the first charitable institution in Illinois, to the constitution of which his name appears as the largest quarterly contributor: although at that time not worth fifty dollars. In 1824 Mr. Atwater entered actively into the effort against the establishment of slavery in this State, and with Lipincot, Churchill, and other leading men of this county, did good service in the cause of freedom. In politics he was a Whig, and since 1860 acted with the Republican party, but never was a partisan, nor entered into party strife. In the year 1809 he made a profession of religion, and united with the Methodist Church, and lived a long life of Christian conduct securing the confidence of all who knew him. A man of great kindness of heart, he dispensed an extraordinary and generous hospitality for very many years. He was a man of much more than ordinary strength of mind, and had to a remarkable degree the power of correctly understanding human character. A man of good business habits, extraordinary punctually and a truly honest man [sic].
An incident in business matters will show this trait of character. In 1810, a merchant in St. Louis, by the name of Phillipron, brought on a lot of tin-plate amounting to $500. Mr. Atwater had a desire to get the plate to manufacture into ware, but had neither money or credit to get it. He went to one Robert McMahon, and agreed with him that if he would recommend him to the merchant, so that he could get the plate on six months credit, he would give McMahon one-half the amount of profit derived from the sale of the ware. Before the six months had expired, Mr. Atwater paid for the plate and paid McMahon $496.75 as his part of the profit, having kept a strict account of every article made and sold.
In the death of this aged and venerable pioneer and Christian gentleman, Edwardsville has lost its oldest citizen, the church its most faithful and liberal member, his children a father greatly beloved, and the community an example of integrity and virtue.
According to records, Joshua Atwater was buried in Lusk Cemetery; therefore, some Atwater markers in Woodlawn must be family memorials. The following information is from Cemeteries and Tombstone Inscriptions of Madison County, Illinois Volume 10 (Madison County (ILL) Cemeteries, Madison County (ILL) Genealogy, Cemeteries Illinois Madison County, Edwardsville Township: Woodlawn Cemetery (St. Louis St., Edwardsville, IL); Creator: Madison County Genealogical Society; Compiled & Indexed by Marie Thompson Eberle (1995-1998); Publisher: Madison County Genealogical Society, 1999):
"Joshua Atwater also known to have been buried in Lusk Cem. ...
All other inscriptions on Woodlawn stones that show a death date 1873 or earlier were not buried in Woodlawn. Some were buried in small family farm cemeteries, but those who were residents of Edwardsville were buried at Lusk. However, no records have been found for Lusk Cemetery other than a List of Lot owners from the original handdrawn cemetery plat, and no records of removal from Lusk to Woodlawn were kept by the City. However, considering that caskets were made of wood, it is highly unlikely that bodies were dug up and MOVED. Time and moisture would have taken care of both box and body!"

The Ecru Jeans by Nudie Jeans
Nudie is a brand that has a heavy focus on promoting the process of breaking in your jeans. Now they have taken the idea a step further by releasing white selvedge styles, Ecru to be exact. So if you have been looking to try a white pair of jeans without the starkness of them, these are the jeans to try out. The style has also been given the true Nudie treatment by having them in an array of cuts and a jacket. So there is a style that will suit anyone comfortably.
This is definitely a pair that I am super intrigued about. We have all seen the usual blue and black denim break in beautiful, but white will definitely be a new approach to the look. The stains will definitely read different and give a different effect that I am looking forward to seeing. How many of you have already tried out the Ecru styles by Nudie? You can click here to buy a pair from the Nudie website.
Zac Efron in Double Denim – Nudie Jeans & EN NOIR
Zac Efron was spotted at the press conference for his new film Neighbors 2 at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, California. The actor paired together the Billy Denim Jacket in Strumming Indigo by Nudie with a pair of EN NOIR EN-001 Jeans in Master Wash Denim.
It is great to see a cleaner pair, meaning ones that aren't heavily distressed, out by EN NOIR. Most of the sightings that we have had of the label has been of their distressed styles and this is a nice change from that. What are your thoughts on Zac's look here? Click here to purchase this jacket from the Nudie website and the jeans from BARNEYS.
3 Winter Looks with Black Jeans for Men
The past couple of years I have done winter looks for women with white jeans, but this time around I am doing looks for the men and on the other end of the spectrum. I chose classic pairs from J Brand, Paige and Nudie to do looks that will suit any guy whether he is into something smarter or more casual and one look that is in-between. See the outfits that I came up with below.
This look is with a pair of the J Brand Mick Skinny in Black. I wanted to keep in theme of what J Brand pushes for when it comes to their men's line and that is something that is clean and smart, so I started off by pairing the jeans with a cable knit turtleneck by H&M. I then chose a jacket by Lanvin to layer over for added warmth and a cap by Gents Co. to help bring in a slight streetwear vibe, but not one to take away from the clean feel. As I pictured this look to have the jeans worn cuffed, I chose a pair of boots by Grenson as they helped carry on a smart feel to finish it off.
For my look that was in the center of the three, I went for the Paige Croft Skinny in Black Shadow. They are a cut that works so well with a look just like this. As it is an outfit that is a mix of casual and smarts, I paired them with a t shirt by Margeila and a pair of Vans Old Skool sneakers. To elevate the combination, I choose a trench by Burberry and sunglasses by Raen as they bring in an English vibe when paired together.
The Nudie Tight Long John in Black Heat is the perfect piece for something that is super casual, especially when the hem is chopped off like I did with this pair. For this look, I wanted to go for a layered double denim outfit. We usually see double denim with at least one piece in a blue wash, but I wanted to keep in theme with the post and wanted to keep all the denim pieces in black, which is why I chose this Diesel jacket to layer over a hoodie by Reigning Champ. To finish it off, I went for a cap by Undefeated and a pair of the J. Crew x Vans Sk8-Hi sneakers.
-How many of you are donning looks like this for the season?
3 Ways to Wear: Nudie Tight Long John in Deep Abyss
For this month, I wanted to do looks for the men and I don't style blue jeans much as very rarely I find a pair of blues that have the dreamy quality. However, the Nudie Tight Long John in Deep Abyss is just that as the first time I saw them my eyes widened. Everything from the perfect fit and tonal stitching to the fades and richness of the blue/black wash, they are all around one of the best blues that I have seen to date. See the looks that I came up with below.
I love monochromatic blue, almost more that than an all black look at times and I wanted to go for that with this look here. I also wanted to do something with a David Beckham vibe as he has always been one of my favorite people to see in double denim. I paired the jeans with a RRL denim shirt to layer over a James Perse t shirt because, I think, we don't see two pieces of dark denim paired together often. I always find it to be very smart looking. Then to finish off the clean look, I chose one of my favorite boots from Loake 1880 and a hat by Brixton.
I always feel that a casual look is necessary and something with pieces that many guys probably already have in their closets. A look like this is classic and I am sure every guy is comfortable in when they wear it. I paired the jeans with a t shirt from Stussy and a Simon Miller flannel to layer over. To add some warmth to the look, I added a beanie by Beam Plus and of course a pair of the Vans Sk8-Hi sneakers to pull it all together.
This look here has a more street vibe. I chose to pair the jeans with the brown colorway of the YEEZY 950 boots because, I find, the brown to complement the blue in the jeans really well. I then chose a simple white t shirt by James Perse as the J. Crew sweater has a statement print. To finish it all off, I went for my favorite hat by Gents Co.

So I'm having a bit of a frustrating day. I was fired from a contract I had been working the past few weeks because I did not "mesh with the team." Two examples were cited:
1) Yesterday I was asked to delete all the data from a SQL Server database except for some baseline system data. The requestor (not my boss) had about eight scripts she had used for this task a few months ago. Apparently no one has ever thought to script out the data model or the system data.
This person had established a pattern of over-complicating things, so I was trying to understand the reasons for the task and the end goal. I also struggled to understand why she always got all sorts of vague errors that required all these extra scripts to "remove and re-add constraints".
I was quite willing to do anything necessary and we talked for several minutes about it. For obvious reasons I thought that seeking to understand why was a good thing. Suddenly she decided that it would just be faster to do it herself rather than spend the time explaining it all to me and I went back to my other work without thinking more about it.
Somehow this was interpreted negatively.
2) Several weeks ago during my first week I was asked to work on merging some data from another system. I was given a 600+ line script of SQL snippets that all appeared to be important along with an oral tirade of complaints about poor data and the original programmers. Naturally it took a bit of time to wade through closely but after a few days my final result emerged as a simple MERGE in roughly 25 lines.
I've been writing SQL for more than ten years and I consider myself to have some expertise in the area. My coworkers were getting a little impatient as I peeled away the layers of unnecessary complexity and I stayed late to finish the task as promised.
I wasn't sure how readily they would accept that the solution of the problem appeared to be exactly one very short command and I wondered if I was missing something that would prove to be embarrassing. Unfortunately all of my probing questions had been repeatedly met with the kind of dismissive non-answers that poor teachers give to an overly-curious elementary student. So I sent the query along in an email and went home.
The next morning I was told (same person as #1) that it was all wrong but it was stuff I couldn't be expected to know as the new guy. She explained that she had to restrain herself from rewriting it all. One of her points was something minor about the data that I had already intended to ask her about myself. The other was purely SQL.
(The question starts here.)
Take a typical left outer join scenario. We all know that the order of the tables is quite significant, e.g., Q1 and Q2 are not equivalent:
SELECT A.x, B.y FROM A LEFT OUTER JOIN B ON A.id = B.id -- (Q1)
SELECT A.x, B.y FROM B LEFT OUTER JOIN A ON B.id = A.id -- (Q2)
When I think conceptually about multiple joins it usually seems natural to me to imagine picking up the new table as the object of interest and then describing how its rows are related to what's come before. Keeping the terms in parallel doesn't have any advantage to me and by my own habit I generally write the join condition this way:
SELECT A.x, B.y FROM A LEFT OUTER JOIN B ON B.id = A.id -- (Q3)
So I find myself being tutored about how the order of tables matters in an outer join. I had thought this test of my intelligence has already been done during the job interview. My confusion turned into stupor as I realized she was focusing only on the equality comparison. To her Q3 was wrong and Q1 was the version I needed instead.
I diplomatically insisted that it did not make any difference at all and that I could easily prove my case if she wanted. I tried to clarify her reasoning but this is the kind of person who doesn't listen closely to your questions no matter how carefully they are phrased or how many technical words you use to suggest a tiny level of competence, so I decided that I just couldn't convince her I'm not an idiot. And I agreed to change the script because it wasn't worth arguing about.
I suppose that not immediately swallowing my pride demonstrated that I was not "coachable."
As for style alone, I conform to any standard the employer prefers though their SQL is often sloppy in other ways. I do recognize that with the old-style outer join syntax this would matter. Beyond that I've never heard anyone make this case. Please answer this question and redeem my reputation.
Does the order of expressions or predicates make any difference in the join condition for outer joins in standard SQL?

Recent advances in wireless sensor networks show an expansion both in the size of the network and in the variety of the applications that are to be executed. In this context, wireless network simulators play a key role in the design, development and testing of new wireless sensor networks applications and protocols. Most of the currently available wireless sensor network simulators work well for small to medium sized networks yet fail to scale to really large networks, mainly due to their single desktop machine architecture and its limited resources. In this paper, we present XS-WSNet, a wireless sensor network simulator that is designed with extreme scalability as a prime objective. First, we distribute the simulated wireless sensor network nodes on a variety of actual machines that communicate through a wired network. A large-scale simulation is then emulated by several smaller scale simulations that run concurrently and collaboratively. As smaller instances of simulations running on different machines usually induce asynchrony and non-determinism in the whole system, we also propose a distributed synchronization protocol, responsible for simulation accuracy in some simulation models. Our implementation (both asynchronized and synchronized versions) of XS-WSNet is fully evaluated in various contexts using a scalable benchmark application. Against its single machine version, the distributed simulator provides sensible matching results, exhibits both scale-up and speed-up of the simulation, and performs with linear slowdown with up to ten million simulated nodes.

I have a website that is straight up HTML.
It does about 1000 pageviews a day and has been active for 3 years.
My question is if yall think it would do better using blog software, like in an SEO sense. If you check it out you will see it has lots of multimedia content. Would the big job, of moving it into WordPress help generate traffic?
I know blog software because I run a 3000 Pageview a day blog for 5 years using Serendipity S9Y. So I know a bit about how things work.

Leading sires More Than Ready and Congrats head a group of five stallions that have been relocated to WinStar Farm in Versailles. The stallions, which also include Kodiak Kowboy, Pure Prize and Street Hero, represent the remainder of stallions that formerly stood at Vinery Ltd. Last month, former Vinery stallions Pioneerof the Nile and Maimonides were moved to WinStar.
"These are exciting times at WinStar, and we're thrilled to be able to welcome these terrific stallions to the WinStar family as we get set to open the doors on our new state-of-the-art stallion complex," said Elliott Walden, President & CEO at WinStar. "We've already enjoyed overwhelming response from breeders since adding Maimonides and Pioneerof the Nile, and we're thankful that the shareholders of these five stallions have shown confidence in WinStar too."
Vinery CEO Tom Ludt confirmed the transition and gave an endorsement to WinStar. "With the announcement of the selling of the farm earlier this year, we knew this day would come. I am proud of what we accomplished with these stallions, and am excited to see them continue their careers at a place like WinStar," Ludt said.
More Than Ready comes to WinStar with global success that has seen the striking dark bay stallion develop into a popular leading sire in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. He's sired 63 stakes winners and 21 Graded stakes winners to date in the Northern Hemisphere, and 49 stakes winners and 25 Graded stakes winners to date in the Southern Hemisphere, primarily in Australia and New Zealand where he's sired three champions and been a two-time leading juvenile sire. In North America, More Than Ready has sired three Breeders' Cup winners in the last three years, and was champion juvenile sire in 2010. His fee in 2013 will remain $60,000 stands and nurses.
Congrats has quickly ascended as one of the leading young heirs to A.P. Indy. The grand-looking bay was the 2010 champion freshman sire in North America, and he's already sired three Grade 1 winners to date from his first three crops to race. Congrats, who will stand in 2013 for $35,000 stands and nurses, has several big crops coming. He bred 129 mares in 2010, 205 mares in 2011 and 131 mares in 2012.
"Vinery has done a terrific job with these stallions, and we will strive to be good stewards of all of their careers," Walden added. "What a great way to baptize our new stallion facility with proven horses like More Than Ready, Congrats and Pure Prize, as well as promising young stallions like Kodiak Kowboy and Street Hero. They compliment our roster extremely well, and we look forward to our greatest days ahead of us."
The five stallions will soon take up residence at WinStar's new stallion complex that is set to open next month prior to the start of the 2013 breeding season. For more information, please contact Gerry Duffy or Chance Timm at 859-873-1717, or visit WinStarFarm.com.

Thank you so much for starting from small.....so many guys are shy to show their penis when it's completely soft :-)
Good vid! Would love to see you put that in and have another man slide his cock on the tube...and share a couple of loads. Maybe next time?

Security experts are warning of never-before-seen malware, dubbed Stuxnet, that spreads via USB drives, infecting PCs via an unknown -- aka zero-day -- Windows vulnerability. Unfortunately, the attack works even with AutoRun and AutoPlay disabled, and affects at least Windows 7 Enterprise Edition x86 operating systems.
The malware was first reported by VirusBlokAda, an antivirus company based in Belarus. According to an analysis released by the firm, "You just have to open [an] infected USB storage device using Microsoft Explorer or any other file manager that can display icons, to infect your operating system and allow execution of [the] malware program." Once a PC is infected, the rootkit takes additional steps to then camouflage the .lnk files and its system process threads.
Reportedly, the malware's purpose is to gather any information relating to Siemens SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system software.
But exactly how Stuxnet works remains somewhat unclear. "Although analysis is not complete, it would appear that the flaw is in how Windows Explorer loads the image to display when showing a shortcut," according to Chester Wisniewski, a security expert at antivirus vendor Sophos. "This feature is being used to exploit a vulnerability and execute a DLL to load the malware on the system."
Here's what else is known: The malware uses .lnk files to "to launch files from USB storage devices, a method which hasn't been used before," said Wisniewski. To infect further USB drives, the malware also dynamically generates a new .lnk file for each new USB device. "At this time it is unclear whether this is necessary for the exploit to work, or whether it is a control mechanism for the perpetrators of this attack," he said.
Interestingly, the DLL is disguised as a device driver, which is what allows it to auto-load, thanks to the malware having a valid digital signature from Realtek Semiconductor, a legitimate company. Security researchers are anxious to learn how attackers got their hands on the digital signature, since such signatures are critical for differentiating good software from bad.
As that suggests, "digitally signed malware is a nightmare for antivirus developers," said Aleks Gostev, a security expert at antivirus vendor Kaspersky Lab, in a blog post.
Patching the vulnerability or vulnerabilities exploited by Stuxnet will likely require an operating system fix from Microsoft, rather than simply recalling Realtek's digital signature. "Recalling a certificate from a company like this simply isn't feasible -- it would cause an enormous amount of the software which they've released to become unusable," said Gostev.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
