This review is based on a latte a day for about a month now.
-Customer service was great: one part got jammed during shipment (despite how extraordinarily well the manufacturer had it packed inside the box!). I called and a person answered the phone right away who helped me figure out the problem.
-Thus far, the espresso comes out hot with a great crema, and my milk is also nice and hot (from 120-160 Fahrenheit depending on how you want it) and well-frothed (meaning microfoam(!) not seafoam). With the frother it's essential to keep the full rubber head (meaning the fat part) submerged in the milk to get it hot (including the intake air vents on the side).
Bottom line: I am very impressed that this quality comes at such a great price.
And my current thoughts in January, 2012: this machine is still going strong. At one point it began to leak due to a clog in the espresso filter but unscrewing it and cleaning it solved that problem easily. This machine is one of my best purchases!
When it was working for the first number of years, it made good shots, with good crema, and the (rigid) steam head worked OK to froth milk. The basket was pressurized, so it overcame the bad grinds we were getting from the chopper grinder we had. We mostly used bottled D.I. water, and only flushed it with a mild vinegar solution a couple times a year. The pump always seemed to provide enough pressure, though the shots were never super hot. The most we ran through it regularly was 2-4 shots, but occasionally we pulled 8-10, letting it heat up again between every couple. My wife ran it dry a few times, but it seemed to bounce back and keep going, despite our lack of maintenance or care.
It's a smallish unit and looks pretty good. We liked the all stainless exterior with easy to clean parts and exteriors. The plastic tamper worked OK, but not great, and the stainless cups aren't the highest grade material (i.e. they stained, which meant they were releasing chrome into our drinks.) The water reservoir is an OK size also, but we had to always remember to fill it just about every day. All of this was a good compromise for the very small footprint, low running noise, and ease of use.
All worked pretty well, with few complaints until about 4 or 5 months ago; when it didn't turn on morning for a few hours. Then we started having seal leaks (splattering grinds all over the place) about once a week.Read more ›
One of my daughters is visually impaired and she can work the machine and clean it with no problems.
Assembly was easy, cleanup is easy, and making three different beverages in seconds is a breeze, too. We have three completely different tastes so we've managed quite a few different drinks. I make sugar free soy lattes using Soy Slender and sugar free DaVinci flavors. We've frothed skim, 2%, whole and soy milks of every type. Even heavy whipping cream and half & half froth perfectly.
The only issue we had was that one time we tamped the espresso a little too firmly and nothing would come out. If you tamp lightly, you'll have no problem at all and the crema is absolutely superb!
As for the reviewer that said their espresso was watery, if you use a fine ground espresso, that definately won't be a problem. The two-serving filter makes a great double shot, but if you try to make more than that, I can see how you could end up with something watery. The drip tray does need emptying once in a while, but that's the same with every espresso maker I've ever used.
I DEFINATELY recommend this machine!!
In the end, the price seems good and the machine looks great but, and this is a huge BUT... you will end up drinking the most expensive cups of coffe (about $25/cup, not including all the wasted coffee, water and time) in your life after the machine stops producing coffee after 10 cups.Read more ›

Product Description
In addition to the previously released 11 features and 19 shorts from the peak of Keaton's career, this set boasts the exclusive Keaton Plus, a collection of rarities and tributes. The greatest find is the long-lost ending to Hard Luck (1921), now restored to complete the film's final inspired gag. Other highlights include newly discovered scenes from Daydreams (1922) and The Love Nest (1923), entertaining excerpts from Keaton's 1951 TV show Life with Buster Keaton (he's still got it!), and his rare dramatic turn in the 1954 television play The Awakening. --Sean Axmaker
Special Features
- Includes 10 features and 19 shorts
- Bonus disc Keaton Plus includes over three hours of rare Keaton material: the complete Hard Luck, two complete educational shorts ("Jail Bait" and "Allez Oop"), Keaton's '50s TV show, photo gallery, Keaton home movies, and more

This is a huge collection of films (11 features and 19 shorts), so reviewing individual items is not going to be beneficiary. These discs have also been released individually, and I've already written many words on each of them. But in general terms, I did find that I preferred his short films to his longer works. The feature films don't quite have the frantic pace to them that made the shorter films so memorable and enjoyable. Of course, comparisons to his short movies a little unfair, as those shorts are rightly praised as some of the funniest sequences ever filmed. But there are some incredible moments in his features as well as some strong movies.
But those shorts. Wow. Here are some of the most memorable movie scenes I have ever viewed. Once seen, who can forget the literally hundreds of angry police officers chasing Keaton in COPS, or the prisoner bungee jumping from the end of a noose in CONVICT 13, or the DIY house being demolished by a train in ONE WEEK? These films are fast-paced, surreal, bizarre and hilarious. I loved them to pieces.
Prop comedy is something that is now horrifyingly associated with such painfully annoying clowns as Carrot Top (Lord help us). But in the slapstick era, this was something that was not only funny, it could be downright diabolical.Read more ›
In your shelves, Keaton shouldn't share his place with the Marx Brothers, but with Orson Welles (who called The General the best movie ever made about the Civil War) and Martin Scorsese (who said he watched over and over the final fight in Battling Butter -which, by the way, is not supposed to make you laugh, but to surprise you with it's realism)
Now, this are the complete contents of this DVD set. Aside from it, you should check out The Buster Keaton Collection, which includes THE CAMERAMAN, SPITE MARRIAGE and FREE AND EASY - and then you are done. Well, you could also read the only book he wrote -My Wonderful World of Slapstick. (June '06 Update: "Industrial Strength Keaton"(DVD) just came out. The set includes rare industrial films, promotional films, commercials, TV appearances and outtakes.)
The Saphead: 1920
Includes the shorts ONE WEEK (1920) and THE HIGH SIGN (1920)
The Three Ages
Year: 1923
Including THE GOAT (1921) and MY WIFE'S RELATION (1922).
Our Hospitality / Sherlock, Jr.Read more ›
That being said, I must point out one or two things with which I was disappointed. The set is said to be "digitally mastered from archival prints". Then why are there so many sections of film that are in such poor condition? While digital technology cannot replace lost film, even on my home computer I can touch-up photographs; surely a film restoration company should have better and more extensive resources at its disposal. Another sore spot is the scoring. I have been spoiled by a brilliant musician who plays at the Silent Movie Theatre here in Los Angeles, Dean Mora. He is the perfect accompanist for silent films. Some of the scoring for the DVD set is, forgive me, atrocious. The worst offense is the use of the James Bond theme for one part of SHERLOCK, JR. Of only slightly less heinous nature is the use of thematic elements from other (read "future") time periods. I may sound like an old fogey (I'm 43), but I think that a piano is fine, a violin and maybe one or two other chamber pieces sufficient. I am not averse to full orchestration, but music choice and coordination with the film is paramount. Musical cues should reflect on-screen action. One last point; sound effects are not needed.
Even with the flaws, I say: buy this set. It's wonderful to have Mr. Keaton in your home.

Tracking object in low frame rate video or with abrupt motion poses two main difficulties which most conventional tracking methods can hardly handle: 1) poor motion continuity and increased search space; 2) fast appearance variation of target and more background clutter due to increased search space. In this paper, we address the problem from a view which integrates conventional tracking and detection, and present a temporal probabilistic combination of discriminative observers of different lifespans. Each observer is learned from different ranges of samples, with different subsets of features, to achieve varying level of discriminative power at varying cost. An efficient fusion and temporal inference is then done by a cascade particle filter which consists of multiple stages of importance sampling. Experiments show significantly improved accuracy of the proposed approach in comparison with existing tracking methods, under the condition of low frame rate data and abrupt motion of both target and camera.

|Heuristic Park
|DreamCatcher Interactive, FX Interactive, Crimson Cow, 1C, Typhoon Games[1]
|D.W. Bradley
|Release date(s)
|Role-playing video game
|Single-player, multiplayer
- Not to be confused with the unrelated board game of the same name. That game was based on another video game named Dungeon Keeper.
Dungeon Lords is a real time fantasy role-playing video game developed by David W. Bradley of Heuristic Park, published by DreamCatcher Games and Typhoon Games, and released in 2005. An Xbox version was planned, but was later cancelled. It includes quests, personal missions, skills and special abilities for customizing the character hero from a small set of races and class specializations. Dungeon Lords can be played either single-player stand alone, or in multi-player group sessions.
Many have criticized the game's initial release as a rushed project, released before it was truly finished. Some have gone so far as to say the game is still in the beta Development stage. One reviewer claimed that "Dungeon Lords marks a new low for how incomplete a game can be and still get released".[2] These criticisms stem from the numerous bugs contained in the 1.0 release, most notably buttons on screen and in the tutorials which do not work. According to the creators, the bug issues are being addressed and are planned to be resolved in a series of patches. Even with the release of the final patch for Dungeon Lords, version 1.4, many features remain missing and gameplay still suffers from numerous bugs. With the virtual demise of developer Heuristic Park and the publisher DreamCatcher Games being acquired and refocused by JoWood Productions any and all further support and development for Dungeon Lords has been terminated.
Dungeon Lords: The Orb and the Oracle, the sequel to Dungeon Lords, was in development with expected release in Q4, 2009. It has since been put on hold indefinitely due to market research results and game engine instability. Later the game was cancelled and replaced with Dungeon Lords MMXII.
Many gamers experienced extensive problems while playing the original release of the game, including quest items disappearing from inventories, NPCs getting stuck, key quests failing, doors that don't work, etc.[3]
Dungeon Lords gameplay features a combat system where weapon combos are controllable by mouse movements, comparable to the combat systems found in Die by the Sword and Mount & Blade.
Remastered version[edit]
In April 2012, Nordic Games announced that it joined forces with writer D.W. Bradley and Heuristic Park to release a completely remastered version of Dungeon Lords in 2012 titled Dungeon Lords MMXII.[4] Dungeon Lords MMXII has been given an official release date of September 25, 2012.[5] This remastered edition features:
- Co-op story mode for up to 8 players and full single-player game experience
- 50–70 hours
- Completely reworked intuitive Graphic User Interface
- New Multiplayer Features
- Dual Switchable Interface Modes (supports Hot-Key action play and Point&Click play)
- Updated full hardware Screen Resolution support (16:10, 16:9, 1920x1080 etc.)
- New quick-start Hero character creation system
- All new Magic system including new Magic Spells
- New Hero Classes, new and improved Class Skills, and new unique Class action abilities
- New Character Advancement and Level Up with auto-learn Magic system
- All new Quest and Log System
- New Mini Map and Full Map Screens
- Full World and Character Re-mastering for enhanced gameplay experience
- New dynamic Treasure & Equipment generation, featuring Uncommon, Rare & Epic items
- New Inventory and Loot Bag System
- Improved Graphic & Visual Enhancements
- Newly Re-Mastered Audio sounds and speech [5]
Version History[edit]
- 1.0 - May 4, 2005. Initial Release.
- 1.1 - May 13, 2005. Includes bugfixes, gameplay tweaks, and a few added features.
- 1.2 - May 22, 2005. Later German Release.

Sample selection is to select a number of representative samples from a large database such that a learning algorithm can have a reduced computational cost and an improved learning accuracy. This paper gives a new sample selection mechanism, i.e., the maximum ambiguity-based sample selection in fuzzy decision tree induction. Compared with the existing sample selection methods, this mechanism selects the samples based on the principle of maximal classification ambiguity. The major advantage of this mechanism is that the adjustment of the fuzzy decision tree is minimized when adding selected samples to the training set. This advantage is confirmed via the theoretical analysis of the leaf-nodes' frequency in the decision trees. The decision tree generated from the selected samples usually has a better performance than that from the original database. Furthermore, experimental results show that generalization ability of the tree based on our selection mechanism is far more superior to that based on random selection mechanism.

Florida's First Openly Gay Rep Won Reelection Because His Opponent's Check Bounced
photo by Stian Roenning
Florida's first openly gay legislator will return to Tallahassee next year... because his GOP opponent's filing fee check bounced. So much for Republican fiscal responsibility.
David Richardson, who represents a district that includes parts of Miami Beach and the City of Miami, was elected to the house in 2012 as Florida's fist openly gay legislator after defeating his primary opponents and running unopposed in the general election. This year a Republican, Laure Levey, also a former Miami Beach mayoral candidate, decided to throw her hat into the general election ring but apparently did not have her finances in order.
"CELEBRATION TIME! I just got a call from the Florida Dept. of Elections and was notified that my Republican opponent's check covering the election filing fee has 'bounced,'" wrote Richardson on his Facebook page. "She has been disqualified and as of today I AM THE OFFICIAL UNCHALLENGED WINNER in my re-election to the Florida House of Representatives District 113. You just can't make this stuff up. There will be a South Florida party coming soon."
Granted, it's not like Levey had much of a chance. The district leans heavily Democratic.

"My wife has never bounced a check in her life and she's a millionaire," Levey's husband Lewis told the Miami Herald in response.
Well, apparently this one did.
Of course, it's not particularly uncommon for incumbent state legislators to run unopposed in their districts, especially district that lean solidly one way or another (i.e. most of them thanks to Florida's thirst for gerrymandering).
Richardson was in Washington, D.C., attending the White House's Pride Reception when he got the news.

Berlin based Agrande delivers a stunning slice of progressive goodness on Progrez with "Kelang" and is backed up with a range of quality remixes from top producers. Agrande's style is quite unique as he likes to delve into eerie atmospheres and glitchy loops creating surreal ambience within each of his tracks. With a respectable list of releases on many labels Agrande is sure to impress for years to come.
The original mix fits his style very well indeed, glitched loops abound add a gritty edge while eerie whispered vocals add to the sublime vibe on this tracks. Super tight kicks and percs with a deep rolling bass are layered against a sweeping modulated synth, top stuff.
First up to remix is Orlando, Florida based DJ and producer Chris Domingo. Chris is responsible for creating his own labels of which there are five at the moment, he is described as one of the old school DJ's from Orlando and gains the respect of his peers with top notch productions and sets. On this remix he gets deep down into the depths of progressive house, an amazing bass and synth combi are the perfect match for the hypnotic pads that dominate the sound. We also see the use of the vocal from the original and it's still gives an eerie vibe!
Sterling provides the next two remixes, Whisper Remix and Dub Remix. Slightly different approach on this with a very subtle cinematic feel created from the near wall of sound which stands out brilliantly. Hypnotic grooves and again the vocals are used to great effect with a super tight drum and perc arrangement, great stuff.
The In Session Remix gets right into the house theme with an underlying tribal element yet still stays true to the progressive roots of the main track. Very sinister sound here due that whispered vocal and an expertly crafted arrangement suitable for any late night dark room!

DJing and production duo Jon ManimaL & Magros are back to Progrez with an absolute stunning progressive house release, "Spiders" features three quality slices of dark vibes.
The title track starts us off with the dark theme coming to the fore straight away. Subtle kicks soon find their thump on the intro and what a thump it is, the track then builds its way through the layers with bass suddenly exploding onto the scene. An eerie synth and vocal add intensity while on the break some well crafted melodies take hold. A true all round solid progressive groove.
"I Can Phil U" ramps up the pressure chugging along in another fine progressive groove. Heavy on the bass frequencies here that adds real depth to the sound, awesome high quality FX make up a big part of the sound. Perfect fodder for the more dedicated floors.
"Strange Dancers" changes direction slightly with a more melodic approach yet retaining that deep progressive element. Brighter sounds conflict with the deep basses and some beautiful synth work provides the melody while the pads enhance this feature, very well crafted indeed.

Chapter 10 of the Progrez series continues to showcase amazing talents in the progressive world. Five new tracks grace this edition from artists across the globe with top quality productions all round.
First up we have Sonsez with "Balance". Based in Germany, Serder Sonsez Dumlu has an impressive list of releases behind him on some top notch labels including Baroque Back Catalogue, Deepsessions Recordings, Fraud Recordings and more. Here he delivers superb tripped out progressive vibes with a haunting ambience. Thumping kicks start us off with eerie FX creating that haunting atmosphere, the rhythm flows when the deep bass kicks in and we settle into an absolute stomping ride, well crafted melancholic melodies make a show adding to the intensity, brilliant.
Next is Lemonchill with "Dark And Darker" which is exactly what this track is, deep dark progressive house. Israeli producer Idan Or aka Lemonchill is no stranger to Bonzai, he had a collaborative compilation out on Bonzai Progressive in 2011 entitled "Room 305". Tracks also appeared on Music Worx, Green Martian and a host of others along the way. This track is real deep heavy bass monster, from the off we get a taste of that bass which vibrates right through your soul. Strong, solid groove here with a tight drum arrangement, huge energy generated here that will have those bass bins shaking!
Canadian born Abe Van Dam delivers us "Pi Scorpii", a well constructed slice of prog house. Abe has seen a number of releases on Quanza Recordings, J V Records and Pro B Tech Records. His styles range from tribal to techno and he also likes to mess around with time signatures. This track has got many elements which fit so well, a real deep bass with multiple FX work well together and that gives a techy side to things. Tight groove with kicks and sharp percs building to the break where a sinister vibe takes hold, nice funky vocal also, superb stuff.
Based in Romania, Dopex is up next with "Elegy". With a release on SeeSaw Records, pure electronica is a good way to describe this sound, beautiful arrangement skills with a myriad of sounds and FX raiding our senses. Real deep vibe with subtle kicks and a world of percs with a raspy spoken vocal narrating throughout, very impressive.
Steven Quesada aka Tepes from San Jose, Costa Rica rounds up this latest edition with "S.H.O.C.K.". Mainly producing trance with releases on eMusica and Only Trance Records we see Steven darken his vibe for a quality ride into progressive trance. Super tough bass and thumping kicks are contrasted with a sweet melodic sound throughout. On the break a top quality vocal brings the whole sound together very well indeed, quality!

Russian artist Andre Volodin debuts on Progrez with his two track EP entitled "Tardo", a wonderful foray into the progressive tech house arena.
Kicking us off is the original mix which has all the hallmarks of a prog tech masterclass, tight arrangement and a cool grooving bassline backed up with really nice FX work, simple yet highly effective.
Next up is the Techy Mix and as the name suggests the track delves deeper into the tech world, deeper basses and a more solid techno feel with the slightest hint of progressive filtering through on the main hook.
"The Night on Santorini" is another fine example in this genre, awesome house filled keys and a twist on the break with some beautiful vox samples then back into the grooving tech rhythm.
A fine debut for this artist on a well established quality label with hopefully more to come.

Kevin Vega, real name Kevin Verelst, born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium, got familiar with electronic music at a very young age. Experiencing the end of the new beat period late 80's, he sat on the first row when house music was born.
Although too young to go out to clubs, Kevin discovered music such as 'House party' and bands as Channel X, Praga Khan and Neon. Later on, he followed the music as a teenager through programs such as Party Zone on MTV, showing music of FSOL, the Prodigy, Messiah,…
So back in 1994, he knew that this would become his life. At the age of 14, he bought his first vinyl record with 'lunch money', given by his parents. So instead of food, he just bought records, in that time more Rave orientated sounds. After a search for his musical identity, the switch came when he first heard Sasha and Digweeds 'Northern Exposure' album. From that time on, he became more progressive orientated.
In the year 1999, Kevin started learning by himself how to make music, using Reason 1.0. Bit by bit, his studio came to life, and so did his know-how. Nowadays, he creates different kinds of tunes, going from ambient, over electro and progressive, to more groove and house orientated sounds.
The future looks bright, let's follow it!

The Idem had her first contact with electronic music production at the age of 18 with the well-known Reason and quickly noticed that this was a wide and wonderful world, beginning to create her own rhythms and grooves in the styles Hardtechno and Techno-house which was what she liked at the time. Of course all beginning is difficult and good results need time and a long learning process, a road which she embarked all by herself.
Then she bought some turntables to play music and gain knowledge, taste, and start getting into the world of music.
Age 20 she created several Hard-Techno tracks and sent them to various record companies. The spanish label Jaxx Records was the first to respond positively to the music and showed interest in publishing her creations. Unfortunately the deal never happened due to the bad situation in which the music market was in at the time.
Age 23 she begins to build a small studio and buys the famous Ableton Live and some powerful synthesizer and starts again to create many tracks an loops that remained unfinished as she was not satisfied of their sound.
Now, age 25 after long and hard work to get the sound to be what she wants it to be her first EP gets released referring to her stage name: Non Bis In Idem
The Idems style when creating music ranges from Progressive House, Deep Tech-House, Minimal Tech-House, Electro House always with a personal touch from Deep Electronic Music.
Influences: Jean Michelle Jarre, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Sasha, Fedde le Grand, Paul Oakenfold, Deadmau5, Marco Bailey, Radio Slave, Trentemoller, Booka Shade, Mauro Picotto, Cristian Varela, Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, Danny Tenaglia, Ben Sims, Henry Saiz, Marc Marzenith, Paco Osuna, Oscar Mulero, Loco Dice, Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Guy Gerber, Robert Babicz, Dave Clarke, Chris Liebing, Aril Brikha, Axwell, Alex Under, Timo Maas, Clode and many more.

Miika Kuisma is a finnish musician, artist, philosopher, futurist and inventor who's passion is to understand fundamental nature of the reality by exploring spirituality, science, history and technology.
In early 90's he got big revelation in a small house club and walked out as a new person. From that moment he knew dance music was 'for him'. His first electronic records which influenced him the most include works by Jarre, Cosmic Baby, Moby, Prodigy, Faithless and early Eye-Q releases. After falling in love with so many electronic styles by now, also his own productions have become somewhat unpredictable.
His tracks are usually somewhere between progressive and melodic, while not being not 'too deep' or 'too cheesy'. On the DJ'ing side Miika was known for his perfectionistic approach to build his sets in certain way. Especially his "Intelligent Design" radio mixes were trips across different moods and genres.
Miika has spent most of his life playing around with technical gear but also loved to draw and play instruments from very early age. After getting his degree in electricity he turned around and took career paths in graphic design, programming, animation and user-interface design.
Besides music production and performances he played key role in the concept and interface-design with EKS in the development of the MIDI controller EKS Otus. He played his last DJ gig in April of 2009, sold his record label "Subtraxx Recordings" for Bonzai Music and relocated into South-East Asia.

Local fund makes first investmentFebruary 15th, 2011, 1:00 pm by Jan Norman, small-business columnist
The Angel Capital Entrepreneurial (ACE) Fund, announced last August, has completed its first closing and made its first investment, reports Irvine-based Tech Coast Angels.
Tech Coast Angels aren't disclosing how much has been raised to date but when first announced, the fund's goal was to raise $3 million to $5 million, which would be invested in early-stage, "game changing" companies.
The fund's first investment is $80,000 in Vokle, a Santa Monica online event platform that allows anyone to produce a town hall-style video event with multiple video participants.
One of the purposes of the fund is to give "us more fire power and the ability to move quickly on what we evaluate as excellent business opportunities," said TCA Chairman Emeritus Dave Berkus, adding that the investment in Vokle was completed in seven days.
The ACE Fund is looking for game-changing ideas, strong management and growth potential.Read the rest of this entry »

Arizona Cardinals
Tom Moore, 74, ready to give '120 percent total commitment' to Cardinals job
New Arizona Cardinals assistant head coach/offense Tom Moore didn't need to continue his career for the accolades.
Already regarded as one of football's greatest offensive minds, he has worked with some of the NFL's best quarterbacks and won a trio of Super Bowls, most recently with the Indianapolis Colts.
So, one might ask, why would the 74-year-old joined Bruce Arians' coaching staff in the desert?
"I'm a people person," Moore said at his introductory press conference Friday. "I have great, great respect for Bruce Arians."
Moore and Arians worked together with the Colts from 1998-2008, and more said the chance to reunite with his friend was not something he was prepared to pass up.
"Bruce is a winner, and I want to be with a winner," he said. "As soon as he called me, why, I told my wife, I said 'honey, we just hit the lottery.'"
The feeling appears to be mutual.
Arians said Moore has "forgot more football than most people in this league know," and is thankful he was able to bring a man with Moore's credentials to Arizona.
Moore said he's excited to be part of a staff that includes many men he's coached against, but more than that, is glad to still have a chance to keep doing what he loves.
"It's a great organization and I want to be a part of it," he said. "To me it's a privilege to get an opportunity to coach in the NFL.
"There are no entitlements; it's a privilege and I appreciate the privilege and I thank Bruce."
It's not as if the Arians lured Moore out of retirement, though. Moore made it clear he's never actually "retired", but admitted he was "in denial" over how he was feeling the last few years. He said things had been tough since about 2008, with knee pain sapping him of energy.
But he had both knees replaced last year, which led to him feeling good enough to spend some time working with the Tennessee Titans last season.
"It's like new world," he said. "All of a sudden you're pain-free. You've got all your energy back; you've got your life back and it's a new world."
Moore said he feels like he's 50, making his chronological age a non-issue. So, when presented an opportunity to continue his coaching career, the decision was easy.
"I jumped on it because I still have got a lot of coaching to do," he said. "I love coaching. You know, I've lived a dream, and to be able to continue to coach is, as I said, it's a privilege.
"And I appreciate the privilege, but I wanted to make sure I could do it justice because I believe in professionalism. I wouldn't go and take the job unless I could give it 120 percent total commitment to do my job, because people deserve it, the players deserve it, the organization deserves it and certainly Bruce deserves it."

Committee on Professional Ethics
The Committee on Professional Ethics (CPE) issues advisory opinions to address recurring or emerging ethics issues facing WSBA members. The advisory opinions cover a broader context and provide members with in-depth guidance on the Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC) as applied to a wide variety of practice areas. The CPE also plays a key role in the review and suggestion of potential amendments to the RPCs.
On June 2, 2016, the Washington Supreme Court adopted new amendments to the Rules of Professional Conduct, effective Sept. 1, 2016. In November 2015, the Supreme Court published for comment proposed amendments to Rules 1.0A, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.10, 1.14, 1.17, 1.18, 4.4, 5.3, 5.5, 6.5, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 8.5. The comment ended on April 30, 2016.
The amendments are in response to the ABA Commission on Ethics 20/20 revisions to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. In 2013, the WSBA Board of Governors asked the CPE to review the Ethics 20/20 revisions and make recommendations, if any, to Washington's rules. The Board approved the CPE recommendations in September 2015 and the proposal was forwarded to the state Supreme Court for consideration.
The Washington Supreme Court adopted the Limited License Legal Technician amendments to the lawyer Rules of Professional Conduct, effective April 14, 2015. The Court directed the Bar to gather feedback from members for nine months following the effective date and to provide the comments back to the Court. The comment period closed on Nov. 30, 2015.
Washington's Marijuana Law and the Cannabis Patient Protection Act
The CPE issued Advisory Opinion 201501 on June 5, 2015, addressing lawyer conduct with respect to legalized marijuana under Washington state law.
In November 2014, the Washington Supreme Court adopted Comment [18] to RPC 1.2, which became effective on Dec. 9, 2014. Under the heading "Special Circumstances Presented by Washington Initiative 502", the comment addresses the ethical conduct of lawyers who wish to counsel and assist clients involved in marijuana-related business enterprises under a new state law legalizing marijuana. Prior to adoption of the comment, the Court published the suggested comment for a 60-day public comment period.
In January 2014, the CPE issued a report and recommendation to the Board of Governors regarding lawyer conduct in light of Initiative 502.

One Ohio-based inventor who's long proposed a technology that substantially boosts the driving range of a typical V8 engine says his idea still has plenty of legs.

Remember Doug Pelmear, the inventor and mechanic from Toledo, Ohio who claims that his late-80's Fox Body Mustang makes 400-horsepower and still manages to return 80 miles per gallon? Doug's back in Toledo's news and he's making the same claims as before. In fact, Pelmear's Mustang can run on ethanol and in so doing, he says, can get up to 110 miles per gallon equivalent. Apparently, Doug's claims have been met with some skepticism, which isn't really surprising considering that the claims seem

Funky house is a subgenre of house music that uses funk samples, a funk-inspired bass line or a strong soul influence, combined with drum breaks that draw inspiration from 1970s and 1980s funk records.[1]
Like most variants of house, the genre makes heavy use of synthesizers, samples and soulful vocals, although unlike in more electronically bent Chicago and deep house, presence of acoustic instrumentation is much more common. Notable producers and artists that have worked in this genre include Basement Jaxx, the Freemasons, Soul Central, Armand Van Helden, StoneBridge, Seamus Haji, Moto Blanco, Bag Raiders, Olav Basoski, Les Rythmes Digitales, Cassius and Mikey High Jinks.[citation needed]
The genre is commercially popular, with record labels such as Defected Records, Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, and Fierce Angel all releasing compilation albums dedicated to the genre.[2][3] It was particularly successful in the early and mid 2000s (decade).[4]

Money. First of all, by all means get it used. It is an audio course that I recommend going through only once. So if you're lucky enough to find a CD version used, it will be exactly the same (of course - assuming that the seller is decent enough to sell unscratched CD-s). As for used audio cassettes, well, as much as we want to hear the correct pronounciation, we have to remember - this is not Mozart, it is only recorded speech. However even if you don't find it used, you can buy it, and after completing the course, sell it as used. As this is suitable for first time learning, and is too much for review purposes (perhaps the other audio-only courses will be better for review).
One last thing. Usability. I'll talk technology, but it's essential here. When I bought the heavy package, the first thing I've done was to move it to MP3. So then I had the entire audio collection on a single CD.Read more ›
My favorite feature? Is the lack of beeps, tones, sound effects (esPECially ringing telephones), music lead-ins, time-wasting and annoying self-congratulatory promo's, smarmy "study tips", "culture capsules", etc., etc. (ditto for Audio Forum, btw).

sorry for this delayed report,we stayed at Hotel Christina in July. This was a first class hotel, with rooms looking over the bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. The hotel was a couple of miles outside of Sorrento, in the place of Sant Agnello. There was free bus service 3/4 times daily into
Sorrento from the hotel, which was excellent, because the Hotel was on a steep hill. The rooms were very clean and spacious.The food was excellent and we ate every day on the balcony ,and
with me being a coeliac the gluten free choices were first class and the staff were very helpful.
For visiting places like Pompeii and Herculaneum ,use the free bus from the hotel to Sorrento
railway station, take the local train to Naples, stops at Pompeii and Herculaneum.Very cheap, but can be busy. Sorrento was a lovey place, with plenty of eating places and narrow streets with
lovely shops.

Read an Excerpt
"Good morning, Maggie—if you like this hot, sticky weather." Darcy Wilkins, my secretary-receptionist and jill-of-all-trades, dropped the mail on my desk.
"Like it or not," I said, "it'll be this way for the next six months. Thank God for air-conditioning."
Darcy handed me a jumbo French-vanilla latte from the bookstore coffee shop downstairs and settled on the sofa in my office. Cupping a mug of green tea in her capable dark hands, she propped her feet on the coffee table and waited for further instructions.
In the far corner of the sofa, Roger, the pug I'd inherited from a former client, slept undisturbed, his legs straight in the air in the dying cockroach position, head hanging backward over the cushion's edge. His snuffling snore mixed with the rumble of traffic on Main Street one storey below where the morning rush could be heard, even through closed windows and above the hum of central cooling.
I sorted through the stack of envelopes and set aside the utility bills for Darcy to handle. My morning started going downhill at the sight of an oversize white linen envelope addressed to Miss Margaret Skerritt, Pelican Bay Investigations, Pelican Bay, Florida. In the same elegant script, the return address indicated the plump package was from Mrs. Philip Skerritt, my mother.
Knowing what I'd find, I slit the envelope and dumped its contents on my desktop with a sigh.
"June is busting out all over," I said to Darcy, "and I'm running out of places to hide."
She arched an eyebrow in question. Roger snored louder.
"Hide?" Darcy said with a hint of disbelief. "I wouldn't think you, a tough ex-cop and Pelican Bay's finest female private eye, would hide from anything."
"I'm the city's only woman P.I.," I said, "and if you had my mother, you'd be looking for a bolt hole, too."
I indicated the pile of brochures and magazine and newspaper clippings heaped on my desk. "Everywhere I look are articles on planning weddings and ads for brides' dresses, florists, caterers, and honeymoon travel packages. The newspapers are filled with wedding announcements. And, to make certain that I don't miss something, Mother gathers them all up and sends them to me."
"But you're not getting married until Valentine's Day. That's more than eight months away."
"And I thought you and Bill had agreed on a small wedding?"
"We have."
She pointed to the small mountain of materials on my desktop. "Then why the bridal blitz?"
Why, indeed? "Mother dear, who has ignored me my entire life, had a change of heart in April after she suffered what might have been a fatal stroke. Now she's determined to compensate for her former neglect by throwing me the biggest wedding Pelican Bay has ever seen." I shuddered. "And when she and Caroline put their heads together, you can bet they're planning an extravaganza to rival the distant nuptials of Charles and Diana. The only thing missing will be global television coverage."
Darcy shrugged. "Can't you just say no?"
"Mother's selectively deaf when she doesn't want to hear something."
"And your sister?"
"Caroline thinks I'm being coy. My sister can't believe there's a woman on earth who doesn't want a huge, elaborate wedding. It involves shopping, after all, Caroline's raison d'être."
"And what does Bill say?"
I shook my head. "He's no help. He says he'll go along with whatever I decide."
"And you've decided?"
I nodded. "No big wedding."
"Then there's no problem."
"Except breaking that news to my mother and sister, who refuse to accept the fact. They're pushing me now to sign up for bridal registries."
"That's not a bad idea."
"But we don't need anything. I have my furnished condo, and Bill's family home in Plant City is full of his parents' antique furniture and his mother's china, silver, and crystal."
"There must be something you want."
I thought for a second. "I could use a new sidearm."
"There you go," she said with a grin that exposed perfect white teeth. "Register at Cole's Gun Shop."
"And give my mother another stroke? I don't think so. I couldn't live with the guilt."
"Where's your groom-to-be today?"
"Helping the Pelican Bay Historical Society by running free background checks on their volunteers."
Darcy looked surprised. "They research their volunteers? Aren't most of them little old ladies?"
"The museum docents present several programs a year for children. The director figures he can't be too careful."
Darcy nodded, her expression solemn, and I guessed she was thinking what I was. Our last major case had involved a pedophile who had murdered three young girls in Tampa. Checking out anyone who worked with kids was no longer optional. It was a necessity.
Darcy drained the last of her tea and pushed to her feet. I handed her the bills to pay, and she went into the reception area and closed the door behind her.
I picked up the wastebasket and swept my arm across the top of my desk to file Mother's latest correspondence. I wished I could dispose of my reservations about my rapidly approaching marriage as easily.
Bill Malcolm, my fiancé and co-owner of Pelican Bay Investigations, had been my first partner when I'd joined the Tampa Police Department twenty-three years ago. He'd also been my best friend almost that long, even when I transferred to the Pelican Bay Department after seven years with Tampa. Last Christmas, he'd proposed. I loved him, without doubt, but whether I was marriage material remained to be seen. I'd led a schizophrenic life. Raised in privilege and wealth, I'd changed course at twenty-six to become a police officer when the love of my youth, an ER doctor, had been murdered by a crack addict. I'd dived headfirst from the height of society into the underworld of crime.
Earlier this year, after more than two decades as a police officer, I'd retired from the force. But as a private investigator, I still straddled both worlds, belonging in neither. Police work had been all-consuming, and I'd had no time for diversions, no hobbies and very few friendships, besides Bill. I'd grown solitary, withdrawn, and set in my ways. Somewhere along the way, I'd forgotten how to enjoy living. My first career had been as a librarian, yet over the years, I'd rarely taken the opportunity to read, which at one time had been one of my greatest pleasures.
Although I'd committed to marry Bill—we'd even closed last month on a house we had bought together—I feared I didn't have what it took to live the rest of my life with another human being, even one as wonderful as Bill.
Especially one as wonderful as Bill.
My biggest concern was that I would either drive him nuts or out of my life entirely.
I looked at Roger, still sleeping peacefully, if not quietly. I had committed to owning a dog and surprised myself by enjoying it. Maybe there was hope for me yet.
A knock sounded, and Darcy slipped into my office and closed the door behind her.
"You've got visitors."
She hesitated. "I think so."
"You're not sure?"
"It's Wanda Weiland."
My heart stopped. "The wedding planner?"
She nodded and flashed an apologetic smile. "As in Weddings by Wanda."
My fight-or-flight response kicked in, raising my pulse and respiration rate, as I considered the possibility that Wanda had been sent by my mother. An ambush on my own turf.
"She's not alone," Darcy added.
"Please tell me my mother's not with her." I gazed at the second-story window and contemplated a jump as my only means of escape.
Roger, now wide awake and on alert, watched me with an eager look, as if reading my thoughts. He flashed his full-focus grin and wagged his tail. If I jumped, Roger would follow. The crazy pooch was game for anything.
I considered my options. The fall probably wouldn't kill me, but I might break a leg, so I couldn't run. Unable to flee, I'd be completely at Mother's mercy. I abandoned the idea of a header onto Main Street and sucked up to face the music.
"The other woman isn't your mother," Darcy said.
"She's younger than your mother, but older than you."
"Not Caroline?" I could probably get rid of the wedding planner, but I didn't want to be double-teamed by my persistent older sister.
Darcy shook her head. "I've met Caroline. It's not her, but whoever she is, she's too distraught to give her name."

Nokia E6 smartphone
Nokia E6 review: Another Nokia phone that possesses excellent hardware, but let down by software that just isn't as slick, fast or user friendly as competitors
- Excellent build quality and feel
- Great keyboard
- Excellent quality camera
- Screen is too small
- Symbian not slick or fast
- Web browsing remains inferior to rivals
Bottom Line
The Nokia E6 is an impressively built smartphone with a great keyboard and a very good camera. Unfortunately, it's much of the same story for Nokia -- it has produced another piece of excellent hardware that is ultimately held back by the unintuitive Symbian software.
Price$ 549.00 (AUD)
Nokia may be ditching its Symbian mobile phone operating system and switching to Windows Phone 7 for future, high-end smartphones, but the struggling Finnish company remains intent on pushing Symbian smartphones. The business-orientated E6 smartphone is its latest creation, and although it has excellent hardware, highlighted by a fantastic keyboard, the E6 is let down by clunky software.
Nokia E6: Design and display
The Nokia E6 is very well designed and feels every bit the premium product. Nokia says the E6 has been designed using "premium materials" including glass and stainless steel, and the result is a phone that is both comfortable to hold and attractive to look at. The E6 measures just 10.5mm thick and weighs a relatively light 133g. We are particularly fond of the stainless steel band along the edges, and the aluminium battery cover, which is both easy to remove and sturdy. Unfortunately, the thin D-pad feels a little awkward, and the home, calendar, mail and contact buttons are positioned very close together. This makes them hard to press, especially if you have large thumbs.
The best feature of the Nokia E6's design is its full QWERTY keyboard. The keys provide great tactility, are comfortable to press and are well laid out. We particularly like the fact that the question mark, comma and full stop symbols have their own dedicated key, meaning you don't have to use the shift or sym keys to type them. Our only complaint is the fact that the keys on the left and right sides are quite close to the edge of the phone, which can slow down typing.
The Nokia E6 combines the full QWERTY keyboard with a capacitive touch screen display. However, at just 2.4in in size, it's a little cramped. Thankfully, the screen is responsive to touch and the presence of haptic feedback (a vibration whenever the screen is pressed) is a welcome inclusion. It also possesses reasonably good viewing angles, and is not too tough to see in direct sunlight, which will suit anyone using the phone outdoors. The impressive resolution of 640x480 provides a crisp image, though text can sometimes be hard to read due to the small size of the screen.
Nokia E6: Software and performance
The Nokia E6 is one of the first smartphones to ship with the latest version of Symbian, called Anna. Nokia has touted new icons and usability enhancements to the platform including improved text input, a faster Web browser and the latest version of Ovi Maps, which provides full turn-by-turn navigation for no extra cost.
The main improvement around Symbian Anna centres on performance and the home screen. The widget-based home screen has been improved, and although not as completely flexible as an Android phone, the changes are mostly positive. There are four home screens available by default, with the option of a fifth, and each screen is now broken into two parts. On the left are fixed time/date, profile and notification widgets (which can't be edited), and on the right are three fixed boxes for widgets. You can't edit the size of the widgets, and setting them up initially is a pain due to the fact that you have to be on the screen in question to add a widget. However, there is no doubt this is an improvement over earlier versions of Symbian.
Also improved is the Nokia E6's performance. The Symbian Anna platform feels much more responsive all round, from opening and closing applications, to simply swiping between home screens. There is still slight lag, and we saw the loading symbol way too many times for our liking, but the Nokia E6 is definitely better in this regard than earlier models.
The Nokia E6's Web browser is also an improvement over previous Symbian phones, but still lags well behind the competition. Apple's iOS, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 platforms represent huge steps forward over Symbian when it comes to mobile Web browsing, and the E6 is sadly no different. That being said, it is much snappier and generally easier to use than past Nokia phones, including the flagship N8 and the E7.
Perhaps the best inclusion on the Nokia E6 (and all Symbian phones) is Ovi Maps, which provides full turn-by-turn navigation for no extra cost. Often costing up to $100 on rival platforms, this function works well and is a great free inclusion, but the E6's small screen size is simply not ideal for navigation and text can be hard to read.
The E Series has traditionally been Nokia's business range, and the E6 is no different. Nokia touts enterprise grade security with hardware accelerated encryption, and new e-mail features such as full meeting request support. The Nokia E6 also provides access to Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Communicator Mobile and Microsoft SharePoint services for corporate users.
Nokia E6: Battery life and other features
Nokia may lag behind its competition when it comes to software, but there is no doubting the hardware on its phone is usually of a very good quality. The same can be said about its cameras: the Nokia E6 has an 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash that takes very good quality photos. Excellent colour reproduction and minimal image noise are highlights, though the lack of autofocus is disappointing, as is the fact there is no physical camera shutter key. The camera also records 720p HD video. Both photos and videos can be stored on the E6's 8GB of internal memory, or the top mounted microSD card slot.
Although not an advertised feature (as it was on both the Nokia N8 and the E7), the Nokia E6 is also capable of USB On-The-Go connectivity, which allows the connection of USB flash drives. You'll need to purchase a compatible USB OTG cable (not included) at an extra cost, however. The Nokia E6 is also cable of video out via the 3.5mm jack at the top of the phone (again via an optional video cable) but the lack of HDMI-out is a disappointment.
Perhaps the best aspect of the Nokia E6 is its exceptional battery life. The E6 often lasted up to three days during testing, which is a huge improvement on most rival smartphones that need to be charged daily. At the very least, most users will be able to get two full days of use out of the E6 before it requires recharging.
The Nokia E6 is available in black through Allphones, Vodafone and Optus, and in black and silver models through TeleChoice and Crazy John's. The E6 will also eventually be available through Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile and "other smaller carriers".

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
