Hank the Brewers dog improving, back in racing mode
Hank the Brewers dog is doing much better, thank you. And his eye is improving, too.
"His personality has really started to shine over the last week," said Tyler Barnes, Brewers vice president for communication. "He was a reserved little guy for the first week or so, but he's now much more active. This morning, he was doing sprint laps around the back offices, running from one room to another and playing keep away with one of his toys." »Read Full Article(14)
'Flashdance' musical doesn't have much feeling, or fun
The movie "Flashdance" begins as Jennifer Beals' Alex pedals through a lovingly presented Pittsburgh at sunrise. That bicycle is quirky, as is the time Alex takes to scratch a kitten before setting off — filled with hope that a new day is coming for a dancer moving forward in her own offbeat way.
In the disappointing musical "Flashdance" that landed with a thud at the Marcus Center Tuesday night, we begin in Alex's dreary steel mill, where a search for gravitas means a lengthy backstory about recession and cutbacks — one of many places where this musical unsuccessfully attempts to channel "Billy Elliot." »Read Full Article(4)

Present Music, Danceworks remix Stravinsky with 'Temptation's Snare'

Like changing Stravinsky's male soldier to a female violinist (played in this production by dancer Christal Wagner). And asking Jason Powell to write a new narration. And blending Stravinsky's original composition with new music from the Sleeping Giant composers collective. »Read Full Article
Reading the John Updike stories: 'A Sense of Shelter'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
Published in The New Yorker in January, 1960, when the author was 27, "A Sense of Shelter" recycles familiar raw materials from John Updike's early stories: an awkward high school boy whose community believes he will become something special one day, a small-town milieu, and a girl he can't make a match with because his future special destiny gets in the way. »Read Full Blog Post

Countdown to Spring: 16 Days
In journalism school we were discouraged from writing leads about the weather. It's a classic rookie move and almost always a cliche. Yet, we've been breaking our own rules day after day for weeks now. That's how exceptional this winter and the anticipation of spring has been.
With a little more than two weeks to go, those of us who enjoy these slippery and freezing conditions should take a last opportunity to gloat. Case in point: Today's forecast calls for snow and a high of 20 degrees. Soon enough, the spring lovers will be crooning about crocus blooms. »Read Full Blog Post

"Living the Secular Life", Phil Zuckerman on Atheists Talk #293, December 14, 2014
When we talk about how nonreligious people negotiate ethics and morality, we often speak theoretically--in terms of the sources of morality--or anecdotally--about people we know who provide examples to counter stereotypes of both believers and nonbelievers. Why do we do this? Much of the reason is that we haven't had good data to work with. Until recently, very few people studied nonbelievers.
Phil Zuckerman helped to change this when he founded the country's first Department of Secular Studies at Pitzer College. He has continued to change the discussion around nonbelievers with his recent book, Living the Secular Live: New Answers to Old Questions. From the publisher's description:
Drawing on innovative sociological research, Living the Secular Life illuminates this demographic shift with the moral convictions that govern secular individuals, offering crucial information for religious and nonreligious alike. Living the Secular Life reveals that, despite opinions to the contrary, nonreligious Americans possess a unique moral code that allows them to effectively navigate the complexities of modern life. Spiritual self-reliance, clear-eyed pragmatism, and an abiding faith in the Golden Rule to adjudicate moral decisions, such common principles—among others—are shared across secular society. Living the Secular Life demonstrates these principles in action and points to their usage throughout daily life.
Phil joins us this Sunday to talk about the book and the ethical lives of nonbelievers.

Data security missing key information risks, says expert
When organisations try to manage their expanding stores data, they too often neglect key information risks by focusing too narrowly on data security threats such as viruses and hackers, according to one industry expect. "Some security specialists have quite a narrow and technologically focused view of risk," says Simon Oxley, managing director at Citicus, an information risk software vendor. "They tend to share the attitude that everything is solvable by an appliance of some sort that will...

A Korean-American investment banker and his Indian-American roommate, a medical school candidate, get intoxicated and go looking for a White Castle fast-food restaurant in New Jersey. As the two friends spend the night roaming the Garden State in search of Slyders, White Castle's signature square-shaped hamburgers, their adventure becomes a life-changing journey.]]>

The second menu, the Special Features menu, has Harold and Kumar in the car after going over the embankment. The car won't start, and Kumar keeps trying it, and trying it, for probably up to 10 minutes or so. All throughout it, he's talking and trying to get Harold to respond. They eventually try to get some sleep, in the car.
All in all, very funny stuff... Enjoy the movie, but don't forget to sit through those two menus! They are one of the most interesting and innovative ideas I've seen on a DVD in some time.
Harold and Kumar are both upwardly mobile second-generation Americans of immigrant parents. They're fighting against type in a world of stereotypes--Harold struggles not to be the number-loving, quiet asian and Kumar avoids the med-school path of his father and older brother. And yet, that's where they find they have placed themselves. Harold is an investment banker and Kumar is a skilled doctor despite his reluctance to go to medical school. They spend their free time getting high and laughing at antidrug commercials. On weekends they allow themselves to rebel comfortably, but it's clear they are dependent upon the rewards of following society's script--they share a nice apartment, they have other good friends (stereotypes, all), a love interest of color, and they travel in a new car toward their ultimate goal of eating several tiny hamburgers.
But when they leave the safety of their multicultural civic center and venture into the hinterlands of the American countryside, they fully begin their odyssey through the strata of the American class pyramid. Above them are the wealthy gatekeepers, like Harold's bullying preppy co-workers and Kumar's med school admissions dean. Below them are the embittered whites who feel like they are losing opportunities one after another, and further below are the imigrants and blacks who must suffer daily at the hands of this anger.
The comedy comes from the clashing of stereotypes, in how they are all simultaneously true and false.Read more ›
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle is the hilarious tale about the two title characters Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn). In fact, the entire movie's plot is in the title. These two stoners get the munchies one night, and while debating what to eat, see a television commercial for the one place that seems to hit the spot and satisfy all of their cravings and desires: White Castle. After this, the film is nothing but our hilarious heroes coming across a wild amount of mishaps and numerous funny situations. The film even has a hilarious cameo by Neil Patrick Harris, whom many of us know as Doogie Houser M.D., playing himself all messed up on ecstasy. This movie is a d**n good time.
At first, I was very skeptical about this movie. I mean, it looked funny, but I still wasn't sure. I kind of got the same vibe for this as I did for Dude, Where's My Car?, and that turned out awful. It is strange too, because this movie happened to be directed by the same guy as Dude, Where's My Car?: Danny Leiner. However, this time, Leiner hit the genre on the head, creating a comical success. Maybe it was the R rating.Read more ›

The phrase "town and gown" is rooted in the notion that universities and the surrounding communities are naturally at odds. But forward-looking colleges and universities are finding deep value in blurring those lines, and instead are leveraging mixed-use developments to improve the community and campus alike.
The Consumer Financial ProtectionBureau's forthcoming "Payback Playbook" intends to simplify the student loan repayment process by presenting clear, customized repayment options.
In April, the agency offered a sneak peek. The initiative will provide borrowers with simple repayment plan options any time they log into their student loan account. The Playbook summary will also be included with their monthly loan bills or in regular emails from their student loan servicers.
Administrators, faculty members and campus staff have been ordering all sorts of supplies from Amazon.com for years, but it was only recently that the e-tailing colossus jumped formally into the higher ed and business-to-business procurement market. And some in the procurement world see benefits ahead.
Three federal grant programs support colleges that qualify as Hispanic-Serving Institutions, or HSIs. The funding covers student support services and other initiatives—such as professional development to train administrators, faculty and staff to work more effectively with students whose first language may not be English.
Financial aid offices that invest time on the major platforms say social media lightens the workload. On a higher level, social networks represent another way to provide students with financial literacy education that can advance institutional goals, including better retention and lower cohort default rates.
Regardless of the size of the staff or office, efficient campus card programs share several best practices: A focus on customer service, cutting-edge technology and collaboration with the campus community and beyond.
Community colleges have been in the news during the current election cycle, due to plans by some politicians—including President Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders—who suggest the federal government should provide free education for any citizen willing to put in the bookwork.
But so far this is just talk for colleges, which have yet to plan for the contingency of becoming a gratis educational option for the populace.
With college students increasingly calling on schools to divest endowments from fossil fuels, Becker College in Massachusetts became the first institution to mandate that all of its investments generate a positive impact on society—and a targeted financial return.
The new higher education alliances cropping up are not just of the regional variety.
A group of private colleges and universities created a consortium in fall 2015 to negotiate better deals on enterprise resource planning systems, which can account for up to 4 percent of an institution's entire annual budget. The Higher Education Systems and Services Consortium (HESS) now has 65 members located in 15 states.
In his book, Breakpoint: The Changing Marketplace for Higher Education, Jon McGee says higher education is in the midst of an extraordinary transitional period that has significant implications for how colleges understand their mission, their market and their management.
It's certainly not black or white for investors.
"The discussion around the table in investment committees is: How do you allocate risk across various investment options available to optimize returns for five to seven years? There isn't a neat, pat answer," says Bill Jarvis of the Commonfund Institute.
On average, academic institutions spend between 4.5 and 5 percent of their endowments annually. But when endowment returns are way down, it's not exactly prudent to spend the same percentage of the endowment with the assumption that target investment payoff percentages will return.
The shift to the use of families' Prior-Prior Year (PPY) financial data on the FAFSA has come to pass. This shift has far-reaching implications not only for timing of financial aid awards, but also in other aspects of enrollment, such as marketing, recruitment and institutional budgeting.
How colleges are getting creative about energy supply to save money on heating and cooling, and to boost building comfort for occupants
There is a lot of money to be had, but only a select group of elite athletic programs are reaping high financial rewards. Smaller institutions with less competitive athletics programs are left to scramble for what they can get—mere pennies in comparison.

The Milosevic Generation
Published: August 29, 1999
(Page 5 of 9)
Eerily, all around the destruction, traffic flowed, shops were open and apartments were being lived in. Except for long lines for rationed gasoline, the surface of everyday life in Belgrade seemed remarkably placid. The summer's rain and heat had produced bumper crops, and fresh vegetables and meat were plentiful. But the surface was deceptive. The war in Kosovo had plunged the Serbian economy into free fall, incomes were collapsing and the United Nations World Food Program was warning of massive wintertime shortages of food, electricity and fuel.
We were invited to a late lunch in the private restaurant of a friend of Helena's father, a former gangster turned prominent businessman. We met in his office at a gleaming car dealership in the city center and were served espresso by a team of leggy, young female attendants whose skirts were short and T-shirts tight. Besides automobiles, the businessman imports blue jeans, designer sportswear, gasoline and engine lubricants. He told me, rather vaguely and under the condition that I not use his name, that he enjoys profitable connections with the Milosevic Government. But as a precaution against Milosevic's possible ouster, he said, his wife and children live in Athens.
In the weeks before we met, the opposition movement in Belgrade had been holding demonstrations around Serbia, demanding that Milosevic resign. The businessman said he did not approve, not because of any affection for Milosevic, but because it would probably be bad for profits. According to him and according to American Government officials, opposition parties in Serbia often demand kickbacks and bribes from businessmen, just like the ruling Socialist Party that Milosevic controls.
''I think it is more expensive to deal with opposition politicians than with the Socialists,'' the businessman told me. ''The new parties are very hungry for bribes. I am afraid that any political change may be worse.''
The businessman got his start in Belgrade's gangster economy in the early 1990's, using money acquired from several years of working in Germany as a thief, according to a longtime friend. Asked how someone gets ahead in Milosevic's world, the businessman, with a straight face, said, ''Everybody who is smart, who is willing to spend 16-hour days in the office like I do, can work and do well.''
Being smart and hard-working have nothing to do with getting rich in Serbia, says Robert S. Gelbard, who until this summer was the United States special envoy to the Balkans. Gelbard, who spent the past two and a half years watching the Milosevic regime, estimates that only a few thousand people have profited from the crony capitalism of what he calls ''Serbia Inc.''
''This is a kleptocracy,'' he says. ''People who are senior members of the party structure or of the Government have been sucking the country dry, although the terrain has become pretty arid.''
A few of the kleptocrats are notoriously well connected to the regime. Milosevic's only son, Marko, made a fortune smuggling gasoline and cigarettes. The paramilitary warlord, Zeljko Raznatovic, better known as Arkan and indicted in 1997 for war crimes in Croatia and Bosnia, amassed a fortune of his own in gasoline smuggling and money laundering in the early 1990's before turning to politics, marrying Serbia's hottest pop star in a ceremony broadcast on state-run television and buying a Belgrade soccer team. (Apparently nervous about the future in Belgrade, Arkan sounded out officials in Belgium about moving there; he was told that he would be arrested.)
Private businessmen have also made fortunes by paying off the regime to secure import licenses that give them monopolies inside Serbia on consumer goods. The real players in Serbia Inc., though, are Government ministers who typically regulate and award contracts to firms that they also control. Dejan Kovacevic, for example, is the Serbian minister of construction, as well as chairman of Mastrogradnje, a major construction company that wins large government contracts from his own ministry.
The Serb businessman who attributed his wealth to intelligence and hard work took Helena and me to lunch at his private restaurant, which he bought this summer and where the only diners are his friends and business associates. With a Puccini opera playing softly in the background, we were served caviar pasta and an elegant pinot noir in the restored dining room of a 19th-century town house. The conversation turned, as did nearly every conversation I had this summer with Serbs in Belgrade, to Kosovo.
Describing the Kosovar Albanians as ''the most criminal people in the world,'' the businessman said Americans should have known what the Serbian reaction would be to the NATO bombing.
''When you put your bombs on Belgrade, we had to make ethnic cleansing in Kosovo,'' he said. ''This is normal. Everybody in Serbia knows it, even little children.''
The downwardly mobile in Belgrade do not mind being quoted by name. Helena took me one evening to meet her friend Darko Susnjar, who grew up in Belgrade's upper middle class, but who has since been skidding into the ranks of the working poor. He worked this summer as a ticket taker on a private bus, making about $5.50 for a 12-hour day.
With a ring in his left ear, day-old stubble and long brown hair tied in a ponytail, Susnjar, 26, bears a passing resemblance to a young version of the comedian George Carlin.

Remember Your Alms Boxes
It is time to collect the alms boxes that were distributed at the beginning of Lent. For the next several Sundays there will be a basket in the narthex to receive your alms boxes. If you wish to make an additional contribution to the Food for Hungry People campaign, you may place a check in the offering basket made payable to "St. George Orthodox Church" and designated "Food for Hungry People" on the memo line. May God bless you for your generosity toward those who are in need!
Sitting, Standing, Kneeling
As our parish grows and diversifies, there is sometimes a difference in our parishioners' Orthodox cultural backgrounds and expectations. For this reason, the following is offered as a helpful bit of instruction. In many places in the Orthodox world churches do not contain pews and in fact often have few seats of any sort. In other places churches are filled with monastic choir stalls. Still elsewhere, as in the parishes of the Patriarchate of Antioch (both here in North America and in the Antiochian homelands), parish churches generally are furnished with pews. In those places with no seats it is, of course, customary for the faithful to stand nearly all of the time in services. In places where pews are present, people generally sit at certain points during the service. Neither practice is better or "more Orthodox" than the other; these are simply local variations in practice. As a courtesy to your fellow parishioners, if you prefer to stand at those times in the Divine Liturgy when most of the faithful are sitting, please consider taking a spot in the back two rows of the nave. If you prefer to stand throughout the entire service, please note that there is also ample room for standing at the east end of the north aisle (in front of the baptistery gates). Please note also that in many Orthodox parishes it is customary to kneel always during the Anaphora prayers of the Divine Liturgy. At St George, however, our prevailing local custom is to observe the instruction of the Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council to abstain from kneeling on Sundays and throughout the forty days of Pascha, kneeling during the Anaphora at all other times. You may occasionally see visitors or newcomers kneeling at times when we are accustomed to stand; please make gracious allowance for their expression of piety. Thank you for your kind consideration of one another!
Fast-Free Forty Days
While most of the Orthodox world has resumed the keeping of the Wednesday and Friday fasts (though allowing for wine and oil), a 1997 proclamation of the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Antioch designates the entire forty days from Pascha to Ascension as a fast-free period. During this time period there is no required fasting on Wednesdays or Fridays. Please note that the pre-Communion fast (i.e. no food or drink from midnight until our morning reception of Holy Communion or from our noon meal until the evening reception of Holy Communion) is observed at all times and in all seasons.
Ushers Needed
Like the minor clerical order of the "Doorkeepers" in ancient times, the ushers of our church perform a vital ministry of maintaining order in the Divine Liturgy and providing hospitality to our guests. We are in need of committed and faithful individuals willing to serve as ushers. Requirements are an availability to serve at least once a month, a commitment to be present no later than 9am on the Sundays one is scheduled, the ability to communicate about schedules and updates via email, and a cheerful willingness to serve. If you are interested in serving in this important ministry, please contact Fr Alban at firstname.lastname@example.com
Saturday Vespers 5pm, Confessions Follow
Sunday Matins 8:30am, Divine Liturgy 9:30am
The schedule above is the normal schedule throughout the year, no matter what season. During fasting seasons, such as Lent, and Advent, there will be added services. If these services do not appear on this page they will be on the Bulletin page.Google Map

Nanoindentation has been used to study the hardness changes produced by scratching of aluminium alloy AA2024, with and without a clad layer of pure aluminium. The hardness was mapped around scratches made with diamond tools of different profiles. One tool produced significant plastic damage with associated hardening at the scratch root, whilst the other produced a 'cleaner' cut with no hardening. The different behaviours and are attributed to whether the tool makes the scratch by a 'cutting' or a 'ploughing' mechanism. The degree of plastic damage around the scratches has been correlated with peak broadening data obtained using synchrotron X-ray diffraction.
There was no change observed in the local hardness around the scratch with fatigue loading.

Chris Christie Blasts GOP House Leader For Delaying Sandy Relief Vote
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has Republican House Speaker John Boehner in his crosshairs and he's firing with both barrels.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has Republican House Speaker John Boehner in his crosshairs and he's firing with both barrels.
Congress adjourned the current term without holding a vote on critical aid to Superstorm Sandy victims, and lawmakers in both parties are pissed off about it.
Under current New Jersey law, all burglary offenses are third-degree crimes, unless a burglar was armed with an explosive or deadly weapon or had inflicted or threatened to inflict bodily injury on any victims.
A community information meeting about the Paulsboro train derailment and hazardous chemical release did not turn out as planned.
Members of the New Jersey Assembly are getting a firsthand look at storm-damaged coastal towns from Seaside Heights to Mantoloking.
Governor Chris Christie says he'll seek a second term, particularly because he feels he needs to continue to help the state recover from Sandy.
After nearly two weeks without electricity, most residents in New Jersey have power, minus those along the barrier islands.
With a post-Hurricane Sandy recovery phase nearly complete, Governor Christie says it's now time to focus on rebuilding New Jersey.
While most Jersey Central Power and Light customers in Ocean and Monmouth Counties have been restored to full power, there is a section of Brick Township that remains in the dark today. It was an area that has hard-hit by Hurricane Sandy.
We see the devastating impact that Super Storm Sandy had on many Garden State residents, but how did it affect the Barnegat Bay?
Not content to let over a year of positive momentum be derailed by Hurricane Sandy, Atlantic City is documenting its recovery and welcoming visitors back by launching a new blog called "Can-Do AC."
Hurricane Sandy has caused billions of dollars in damage all over New Jersey, so what does this mean for your property taxes in the future?

Amethyst iPig iPod Buddy
The Amethyst iPig iPod Buddy is an affordable iPod dock with an interesting design.
- Good sound quality, low price, interesting design, good iPod menu control with remote control
- Pig-like design may not appeal to everyone, upper treble notes sound slightly tinny, slight distortion at high volumes
Bottom Line
The Amethyst iPig iPod Buddy has a pig-like design that not everyone will like, but its sound quality is excellent considering its price.
Price$ 139.00 (AUD)
It's rare that we can call something a pig and mean it in a good way, but that's the case with the Amethyst iPig iPod Buddy: an interesting iPod dock with a bacon-based design that delivers high quality audio.
It is not difficult to work out why it is called the iPig iPod Buddy. Two touch-sensitive ears that control the volume sit above a pair of resonator chambers, with two tweeters doubling as eyes. Four stubby legs are tipped with rubber to prevent slipping and the mouth lights up every time you use the included remote. And just to make sure you have no lingering doubts, Amethyst has thrown in a purely cosmetic snout.
Just like a real pig, the Amethyst iPig iPod Buddy feels very solid. The build quality is good and the pig doesn't scratch easily, although the lack of hand grips means you need to be careful when moving your new porcine friend.
The iPod dock sits at the top of the device and is suitable for all types of iPods with a dock port connector. An auxiliary input is also available for connecting other devices.
iPod menu control is easy thanks to the included remote control, which has easy to use buttons.
The Amethyst iPig iPod Buddy is a solid performer when it comes to audio. The 15W subwoofer produces rich bass with strong resonance. In our testing, it handled the deep bass line of AC/DC's "Hell's Bell's" very well. This is helped by the resonator chambers that enhance the lower frequencies.
The 4W tweeters provide plenty of volume but upper treble is a little tinny. The speakers are capable of pumping out quite loud audio, but there is some noticeable distortion at high levels. Mid-range comes through with good clarity; piano notes were warm and well defined.
The Amethyst iPig iPod Buddy has a novel design but is also an excellent device in its own right, offering good iPod menu control, great audio and a low price point.

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.

As William Egginton shows, Don Quixote – the first modern novel – broke all the rules, ushering in a literary form full of subjectivity and ambivalence
Shakespeare and Don Quixote author Cervantes died 400 years ago: both their deaths are recorded on 23 April 1616. Can you distinguish between their quotes – or is thou a cream-faced loon?

Almost half of readers surveyed had trouble getting the eponymous hero's name right. And he is not the only literary character to cause confusion …

Complete an approved program for pharmacy technicians (see Sources). No, not the canned meat variety - spam is much like the unsolicited mail that you receive in the mail box, just in a electronic form. An impartial pharmacy close by accepts prescription and through-the-counter orders and delivers them discretely to our office.
Blows mental performance really, but this really is to some extent. Leading pharmacies are licensed and certified and you also get less expensive costs, privacy, medical information and convenience if you shop. This is truly a national certification exam, where there are two main options.
Residencies can be a continuance of one's pharmacy education set in one facility having a main preceptor and many assistant preceptors in the facility. Or, if required, they are able to refer you to definitely your doctor or suggest a medical clinic nearby where one can receive medical therapy and prescription medication. Nonetheless, this is really a cheaper option than a number of other online pharmacy technician schools and may even be ideal for those on a strong budget.
While there is often a small chance you can get laid off (for instance, if your chain supermarket closes some stores) you shouldn't have much problem finding another job. The local temperature of the medicine producing country is one as well as the other country could possibly be another, and the avian temperature is the other. It is essential that the web doctor exactly understands what are the problem is and accordingly provides the medicine.
I offer an even deeper a reaction to this newest pharmacy tragedy. I was paying $10 for any thirty day supply through my dog's vet's office. There is surely an exception towards the pharmacist tech training program.

A word here as to the misconception labored under by our English neighbor; he evidently does not understand the American manner of doing things. We never level down in this country; we are always at work on the up grade. "Level up! Level up!" is the motto of the American people. [James E. Garretson, "Professional Education," in "The Dental Cosmos," Philadelphia, 1865]Modern use is mostly from computer gaming (2001). To level off "cease rising or falling" is from 1920, originally in aviation. Related: Levelled; levelling.

The Sony DSC-RX100 has been hailed by reviewers and general photographers as one of the highest-quality compact digital cameras ever produced. With its larger-than-normal image sensor, superior image quality, and impressive array of features for creative photography, this camera has attracted a large and dedicated following in the photography community. However, the camera does not come with a printed manual, or even a PDF manual that can readily be printed for reference. So, until now, it has been difficult for users of the camera to find answers to their questions about the use of the camera's many controls, menus, and features.
With the release of this new book, White Knight Press has provided users of the RX100 with a comprehensive guide to all operations, features, menus, and controls of this amazing camera. Using a patient, tutorial-like approach, the book provides guidance to beginning and intermediate photographers not only about how to accomplish things with the RX100, but when and why to use the camera's many features. The book does not assume any specialized knowledge by the reader as it explains topics such as autofocus, manual focus, depth of field, aperture priority, shutter priority, exposure compensation, white balance, and ISO sensitivity. The book also provides full details of the camera's numerous menu options for playback, setup, and customizing the operation of the various buttons and other controls.
The book's more than 300 photographs, most of them in full color, illustrate the RX100's controls, shooting screens, and menus. The photographs also provide examples of the various types of photographs that can be taken using the many creative settings of the camera, including the Photo Creativity settings, which let the photographer alter the color processing of images; the Scene shooting mode, with settings that are optimized for various subjects, including landscapes, portraits, and action shots; the Creative Style and Picture Effect menu options, which offer dramatic options for altering the appearance of images; and the camera's strong array of features for continuous shooting and shooting in dim lighting.
In addition, the book goes beyond the bounds of everyday photography, and provides introductions to more advanced topics such as infrared photography, street photography, astrophotography, and macro photography.
The book also includes a full discussion of the video recording abilities of the RX100, which can shoot high-definition (HD) video with stereo sound, and which offers manual control of exposure and focus during movie recording.
In three appendices, the book provides information about accessories available for the RX100, including cases, external flash units, and filter adapters, and includes a list of web sites and other resources for further information. Also, the book includes a detailed appendix with helpful "quick tips" that give particular insights into how to take advantage of the camera's features in the most efficient ways possible.

Product Description
Product Description
Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads have an ultra-thin but super-absorbent contour for a natural fit that won't show under clothing. The soft, stay-dry lining draws milk away from the skin and into the core of the pad where it is absorbed by a special polymer to prevent leakage. Featuring two non-slip adhesive tapes so that the pad stays in place, this is the only polymer style pad that keeps its shape when wet. The pads are hygienically wrapped for cleanliness and convenience - perfect to slip into your bag when out and about.
Box Contains
240 x individually wrapped disposable nursing pads

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
Quite frankly, these are worth the extra cost especially if you have an oversupply or tendency to leak even when someone else's baby is crying. The gel and wadding keeps you and your clothes dry, the soft texture is comfortable against sore nipples in the early stages and the adhesive is far superior to other brands where you often find them misplaced and I've never had to play 'hunt the breast pad' with Lanisoh.
My hubby bought me another budget brand to try with this baby which again has only convinced me the only way forward is Lanisoh, everything else is false economy. Just buy these you won't regret it.
Tip: With my first daughter at the height of summer I ended up putting some in the freezer in preparation which was really soothing on superhot days and during growth spurts when baby is permanently attached.
Ultra thin, reliable, and non slip - Excellent
These pads are slightly larger than some of the other brands on the market and as they are slightly larger sometimes you can find they irritate around the edges however the Lansinoh brand are softer and are much more absorbent.
There are two peel off strips to secure them to your bra so that they stay in place.
I like that they are individually wrapped so they are more hygienic and easier to carry spares in the changing bag.
They are slim and as they are slightly larger they look much more discreet when wearing fitted tops.
Out of all the brands that I have tried, these are my go to brand and were a great buy as an add on item.

B&N Jewelry the parent company to Alisa Unger Designs, has created the "Retail Jeweler Overstock" program to help jewelers sell excess stock.
Jewelers can consign their inventory to B&N to allow other retailers from around the country to purchase your items at trade shows. David Geller said, "It's a great way to move excess stock and create instant cash flow."
Jeff Unger, creator of the program added, "You get back a higher return than scraping or stock balancing."
The idea of the program came from Unger'Äôs online retail lostgolfstore.com¬Ý He helps golf shops move excess and lost and found through eBay. The program was set up on the eBay framework. 'ÄúInstead of seller to consumers, it'Äôs retailer to retailer. What'Äôs not hot in middle America might be a hot seller in South Florida,'Äù said Unger.
To send in your excess stock, contact B&N at 800-358-6223 or visit them at the upcoming Smart Show in booth 1511.

Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 2 hrs
Stuffed with feta cheese, cream cheese and herbs, this chicken is so flavorful. Makes a lovely presentation too. This can be served with rice and the pan juices can be drizzled over the rice for additional flavor. This recipe was given to me by a friend at work who said she had also served this in a spaghetti sauce over noodles or spaghetti.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil (to taste)
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano (to taste)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- garlic powder (to taste)
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 green onion tops
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
- Wash and pound to flatten each chicken breast.
- Lay the breasts on waxed paper and spread 1/4 of the cream cheese on each breast.
- Top the cream cheese with the feta divided equally.
- Combine the basil, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle 1/4 of the spices/herbs on each breast.
- Roll up each chicken breast and wrap with a piece of bacon and one green onion top (secure with toothpicks if necessary).
- Place the breasts in a greased casserole dish and drizzle with the melted butter.
- Cover and bake 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the cover and increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is browned.

I used a cheddar cheese in lieu of feta because it was what I had on hand. My cooking time was considerably less than the recipe stated but, as the other reviewer commented, the pan sauce is TO DIE FOR. I will be making this again!!
The ooze from the inside of this chicken recipe, coupled with the pan juices absolutely begs you to devour this upon removal from the oven. You just want to get a spoon, and start picking and slurping. This is a big "FAV" around here. Requested twice already~and served on the now famous "Saturday Lunch on The Farm". The only change I made was slight~I used bone in. skin on chicken breasts, but slit them down the middle and filled with this delicious filling. And once I forgot the bacon. Wonderful meal, Dreamgoddess. Good for the winter or summer. Made for our team Capitan, Dreamgoddess with deepest graditude *Naughty But Nice Gang* ZWT3 07*

The Rosenbach Museum and Library has decided to dispose of 13 paintings by the British painter Walter Greaves, a friend of James McNeill Whistler's, according to Derick Dreher, the museum's director.
The Rosenbach will sell 12 through Christie's auction house in New York starting next month, and is in talks to place the remaining painting, a portrait of Whistler, with a local museum.
Money from the sales will go into the Rosenbach's acquisitions fund, Dreher said.
The announcement of the sales - termed "deaccessioning" by collecting institutions - is the second from a Philadelphia museum this year. Two weeks ago, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts announced it had sold five paintings, raising $5 million, and planned to sell five more.

[Page S3048] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] SENATE RESOLUTION 120--SUPPORTING THE MISSION AND GOALS OF 2013 NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS WEEK TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE RIGHTS, NEEDS, AND CONCERNS OF, AND SERVICES AVAILABLE TO ASSIST, VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF CRIME IN THE UNITED STATES. Mr. LEAHY (for Mr. Wicker (for himself, Mr. Leahy, Mr. Schumer, and Mr. Grassley)) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to: S. Res. 120 Whereas, in 2011, there were nearly 6,000,000 victims of violent crime and more than 17,000,000 victims of property crime in the United States; Whereas, according to National Crime Victimization Survey, non-fatal violent crime increased by 17 percent and property crime increased by 11 percent in the United States between 2010 and 2011; Whereas, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting, ``law enforcement agencies throughout the nation reported an increase of 1.9 percent in the number of violent crimes brought to their attention for the first 6 months of 2012 when compared with figures reported for the same time in 2011''; Whereas a just society acknowledges the impact of crime on individuals, families, schools, and communities by protecting the rights of crime victims and ensuring that resources, and services are available to help rebuild lives; Whereas, despite impressive accomplishments during the last 40 years in increasing the rights of, and services available to, crime victims and survivors, many challenges remain to ensure that all victims are-- (1) treated with dignity, fairness, and respect; (2) offered support and services regardless of whether victims report crimes committed against them; and (3) recognized as key participants within the criminal, juvenile, Federal, tribal, and civil justice systems in the United States when victims do report crimes; Whereas victims and survivors of crime in the United States need and deserve support and assistance to help them cope with the often devastating consequences of crime; Whereas, during each of the last 31 years, communities across the United States have joined Congress and the Department of Justice in commemorating National Crime Victims' Rights Week to celebrate a shared vision of a comprehensive and collaborative response that identifies and addresses the many needs of crime victims and survivors; Whereas Congress and the President agree on the need for a renewed commitment to serving all victims of crime in the 21st century; Whereas the theme of 2013 National Crime Victims' Rights Week, celebrated from April 21 through April 27, 2013, is ``New Challenges, New Solutions'', which highlights the many challenges that confront the fields of crime victim assistance, justice, and public safety; and Whereas the people of the United States recognize and appreciate the continued importance of promoting the rights of, and services for, crime victims, and of honoring crime victims, survivors, and those who provide services for them: Now, therefore be it Resolved, That the Senate-- (1) supports the mission and goals of 2013 National Crime Victims' Rights Week to increase individual and public awareness of-- (A) the impact of crime on victims and survivors; and (B) the challenges to achieving justice for victims, and the many solutions that can meet these challenges; and (2) recognizes that dignity, fairness, and respect constitute the very foundation of how crime victims and survivors should be treated. ____________________
