Greetings. I'm posting the skeleton for now while I compile the sets for this behemoth. There is only one set that I know of that works beautifully, so I will add it in for the moment while I test the other sets on-site. They don't look very promising, but we'll see. I'm Regigigas and I'm E-rank! [Overview]
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages: if it isn't the legendary, the all-powerful, the tragically designed behemoth known as Regigigas! With its Uber-worthy stat spread including a gargantuan base Attack stat catching the naked eye, one must not overlook the serious flaws this giant boasts. Equipped with one of the most shallow movepools in the game and a repulsive ability in Slow Start, which halves both Regigigas's Attack and Speed for five whole turns, Regigigas finds itself seeking refuge within the NU territory.

Despite these two crippling attributes, Regigigas should not be quickly dismissed, as it's supplied with the necessary tools to make it competitively bearable and a threat that any team must prepare for. Alongside its excellent overall bulk and sturdy Substitutes, Regigigas is one of the best users of the notorious parafusion strategy, immensely helping it stall out the Slow Start effect whilst taking minimal damage in the process. However, Regigigas still requires heavy team support to ensure success in executing its tactic, and even then, its sheer reliance on parafusion makes it somewhat unreliable as a sweeper.
 [SET] name: One-Hit Wonder move 1: Thunder Wave move 2: Confuse Ray move 3: Substitute move 4: Return item: Leftovers nature: Adamant evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def [SET COMMENTS]
This is by far Regigigas's best and most threatening set available. The combination of Thunder Wave, Confuse Ray, and Substitute allows Regigigas to quite easily rid itself of its Slow Start ability and often be guarded behind a Substitute in the end. This is because the nefarious parafusion combo results in only a measly 37.5% chance for the enemy to successfully attack, meaning in the majority of cases, Regigigas will often be setting up bulky Substitutes unscathed. Furthermore, Regigigas's superb overall bulk provides a plethora of opportunities for Regigigas to switch in and begin wreaking havoc. The final moveslot is reserved for Regigigas's most powerful and reliable STAB attack in Return, which when backed up by an overwhelmingly high base Attack stat, ends OHKOing or 2HKOing every NU Pokemon, barring heavily defensive threats, such as Alomomola, Tangela, and Bastiodon, and Ghost-types.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
If being walled by defensive Steel- and Rock-types severely concerns you, Drain Punch is available to remedy that issue; however, it's strongly discouraged as forgoing Confuse Ray or Thunder Wave will severely hinder Regigigas's ability to compensate for Slow Start. The EV spread focuses solely on maximizing Regigigas's overall bulk and gargantuan power. Leftovers paired with the parafusion strategy is also a deadly combination, often allowing Regigigas to restore the health lost from its Substitutes and may even replenish the damage it takes from being hit outside of its bulwark.

It's clearly evident that any Ghost-type will pose an immediate threat to Regigigas, especially Golurk, as it also blocks Thunder Wave, and Substitute or Taunt variants of Misdreavus and Drifblim, as both can quickly halt the entire parafusion combo. For this reason, it is necessary to carry partners to reliably dispose of any Ghost-type in the tier. Skuntank and Zangoose are both formidable Pursuit trappers, the former also packing STAB Sucker Punch and Crunch and the latter boasting an immunity to Will-O-Wisp thanks to the use of Toxic Orb, a Shadow Ball immunity, and Night Slash for a stronger Dark-type. As mentioned previously, defensive Steel- and Rock-types, particularly Bastiodon and Probopass, will be a nuisance to deal with. Even though most are susceptible to Thunder Wave and Confuse Ray, their sheer bulk prevents them from taking any serious damage from Return, giving them an opportunity to hit back, PP stall, or phaze Regigigas out with the likes of Roar. For this reason, using Regirock is a great option as it handily deals with these Pokemon via Drain Punch or Earthquake and can even spread paralysis of its own with Thunder Wave, something Regigigas greatly appreciates. Gurdurr is a more offensive answer to these threats, obliterating them with its STAB attacks. It also enjoys the paralysis support provided by Regigigas due to its poor Speed.

It must be acknowledged that Toxic Spikes is the number one method to passively shut Regigigas down without question. The escalating poison damage will end up being too much for Regigigas to handle before Slow Start even has a chance to wear off. It is absolutely critical to utilize Poison-types to absorb them or surefire Rapid Spin users to get rid of them. Again, Skuntank is a great choice with its part Poison typing, and Foresight Wartortle can be used to nearly guarantee a successful Rapid Spin. It is also recommended to use additional paralysis spreaders to aid and quicken Regigigas's ability to set up while taking the least possible damage in the process. Musharna is a fantastic candidate here, as it resists the Fighting-type attacks that Regigigas might come across, has access to the important Heal Bell should Regigigas be crippled with status prematurely, and has the longevity to continually spread paralysis with Thunder Wave. It's also a good idea to use Stun Spore support from the likes of Tangela and Exeggutor, the former deserving a special mention for its ability to handily counter any variant of Golurk. This allows for Ground-types and Pokemon that absorb Electric-type moves, such as Lightningrod Zebstrika, to be crippled with paralysis, further aiding Regigigas's sweep.
 [Other Options]
Looking at Regigigas's lackluster movepool, there really isn't much going for it outside of the one-hit wonder set. A Rock Polish set is interesting, but it just isn't effective at fulfilling a late-game sweeping role due to Slow Start and poor coverage options; there are simply better Pokemon to choose from. A defensive set is a viable approach, using moves such as Toxic, Thunder Wave, Icy Wind, and Knock Off, but the lack of reliable recovery and crippling ability make it outclassed as a specially defensive Normal-type by Miltank, Audino, and Lickilicky. Regigigas also has access to neat special attacks, such as Thunderbolt and Earth Power, but passing up that enormous base Attack for a Special Attack stat that's half as much is nowhere near worth it. Finally, Superpower, Focus Punch, and the elemental punches are available for use, but Regigigas is already strapped for moveslots and can't put them to good effect. Of the elemental punches, Fire Punch is nice for Metang and Ice Punch for Golurk, but again, it's not worth passing up Thunder Wave or Confuse Ray and thus having teammates to handle them is the far better choice.
 [Checks and Counters]
Ghost-types are one of the best counters to Regigigas. Golurk in particular is immune to Thunder Wave and Return and can cause major damage with DynamicPunch and its STAB Earthquake. In terms of other Ghost-types, like Misdreavus and Drifblim, be cautious if you are not running Substitute; Regigigas has the bulk to sponge a lot of their attacks, and it is possible for them to actually lose to confusion damage. Bastiodon, Golem, and Probopass are all effective switch-ins to Regigigas lacking Drain Punch: Bastiodon stops Regigigas cold with Magic Coat and Roar, Golem is immune to Thunder Wave and hits hard enough to break Regigigas's Substitutes but must be cautious of confusion damage and constant Returns, and Probopass also needs to be aware that it too can succumb to the effects of confusion damage and repeated Return hits.

Crippling Regigigas with Will-O-Wisp or Toxic easily shatters its dreams of crushing its enemies, but keep in mind that most teams that are using Regigigas will also have a cleric that needs to be taken care of first. Toxic Spikes also instantly shuts Regigigas down, but again, Poison-types or Rapid Spin users will be seen to accommodate for this; be sure to pack Pokemon to dispose of them. Furthermore, any phazer with Whirlwind or Roar can stop Regigigas from clearing its Slow Start ability, but understand that this method is not the most optimal. This is because parafusion might prevent the use of these moves and Regigigas is also often the last Pokemon on the team, making this method unusable. Dragon Tail is also not recommended, as most users of it typically lack the power to break Regigigas's Substitutes. Perish Song, however, is a deadly weapon to use against Regigigas. Even though parafusion might prevent it from being used, its a good answer to Regigigas even if it's the last Pokemon on the team. Prankster Murkrow and Misdreavus are perfect users of this.

It's also possible to defeat Regigigas by simply brute forcing it. Exploiting its Fighting-type weakness with the likes of Sawk and Gurdurr works well. Luck might be needed when using Sawk due to parafusion, but Gurdurr finds itself enjoying the paralysis, thanks to Guts, and it packs Bulk Up to bolster its Attack and Defense, Drain Punch to restore the health it loses from confusion and Return damage, and Mach Punch to snatch a quick KO against an exposed Regigigas.
 That's it for now. If anyone wants to bring something up, go for it. If you've tested another set that looked good, spill your beans. If you hate Regigigas because it sweeped you, get out of here.

Ummm, I hate 2 say it, but this came out just awful.....will not B making againl
Excellent recipe! I only used 2 tablespoons brown sugar in total for 5 servings. Loved the pecan topping. Very nice touch!
5 star recipe! I made this for Thanksgiving and my husband said, "This is money!" I didn't have pecans and it was still delicious, but next time I make it I will be sure to have all the ingredients:) Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!
I've made this both ways, with and without the topping. Both ways are good. No need to double for my family.. it was the perfect amount. I prepared and cooked it, then left it in the fridge over night. Christmas day we just popped it into the microwave.
I can sure understand why all the great reviews. So easy to prepare and the flavors all blend together so well. I made just as directed and will be serving it with our holiday meal. So good with just the right spices. This will remain a favorite at our house.
I've made this twice now and both times got compliments and requests for the recipe. I don't add the sugar to the potatoes and it's plenty sweet. I also threw in a little apple pie spice to both the potatoes and topping this last time and everyone loved it. It's pretty easy and is somewhat forgiving if you want to play around with the recipe.
I love this topping on sweet potatoes / yams MUCH more than the standard marshmallows! I've had the original recipe before and it WAS good but really really sweet, especially for a side dish (rather than a dessert).
I did a few things differently and it came out great! I baked 6 large yams in the oven first and then mashed them with everything from the recipe BUT the sugar. I doubled the amounts since I had double the yams. However, I did not double the topping. It was a big hit!
Phenomenal!! Left out just a little of the sugar in the sweet potatoes themselves, and didn't add the full amount of pecans. It was sooo good, we all loved it on Thanksgiving and with all the leftovers over the next few days. Will keep this recipe forever. Thanks for sharing!
Doubled the salt and sugar as someone suggested, topped it with candied pecans and marshmallow and it was awesome!
This recipe looked almost exactly like the one I had lost and was crossing my fingers. I used cream instead of milk since I think cream makes everything taste better :) I also ended up with a too much mashed sweet potato so I added about 4 tablespoons of Captain Morgan Black as my additional wet. OMG! We loved it!

South Africa, Orange Free State, Estate Files (FamilySearch Historical Records)
South Africa Orange Free State
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: South Africa, Orange Free State, Estate Files, 1951-2006 .
What is in the Collection?
This collection of estate files from Orange Free State, South Africa includes the period from 1951 to 2006.
Each estate file contains several documents; some files are extensive as others are smaller in size. These files may include death notices, death certificates, other vital records, wills, liquidation and distribution accounts, duty accounts, inventory of goods, acceptances of trust as executor, letters of administration, notary public documents, pension documents, bank and stocks documents, valuation of properties, other assets, etc.
Documents are written in English and in Dutch. The estate files are arranged in chronological order and by the first letter of the surname. Groups of documents often span many years beyond the year of death of the deceased. The death notice is the most important piece of genealogical information in these files; it typically contains the full name of the deceased, date and place of death, birth place, age at death, nationality, parents, occupation, residence, marital status, spouse(s), children, if the deceased left any goods and a will. Cause of death is found only on the brief death certificate.
Estate files, created at the Master of the Supreme Court in Orange Free State, South Africa commenced in the year 1951. Not all deceased persons have estate files. Estate files are not opened for those who owned little or no assets, therefore these records cover only a certain percentage of the population. Estate file prior to 1951 may be found in the relevant Archives Repositories.
The purpose of the estate files at the Master's Office is to administer the liquidation and distribution of the estates of deceased persons, administer trust property given under the control of any person by a deceased person, administer the property of minors and persons under curatorship, administer derelict estates, regulate the rights of beneficiaries under mutual wills made by any two or more persons. The Master's Office keeps records for every estate within the jurisdiction of the Office, and documents are available for inspection and certified copies may be made for documents.
The fullness and accuracy of the information appearing on death notices is dependent on the knowledge of the informant, often the next-of-kin. If the informant is not a family member, details may be sketchy. However, additional information may be added after the completion of the death notice, which is a reason for seeing all the papers in the file.

African Penguin Receives U.S. Endangered Species Act Protection

A species of penguin from Africa is now protected by the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), following the publication of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service final listing determination in today's Federal Register. The African Penguin Spheniscus demersus, a species native to Namibia and South Africa, has been listed as endangered. The determination comes after a thorough review of best available scientific information, comments from the general public and peer reviewers, and any new information received during the public comment period following publication of the proposed rule to list this species. This rule implements the Federal protections provided by the Act for this species. The African Penguin population has declined 60.5% in the past 28 years due to food base declines and competition for food with the fishing industry and Cape fur seals. The population decline has been severely exacerbated by rapid ecosystem changes at the northern end of the penguin's distribution and by major shifts of prey resources to outside of the accessible foraging range of breeding penguins at the southern end of its distribution; habitat modification and destruction; predation; and oil spills. Climate change contributes to these threats through rising sea levels, increasing sea surface temperatures, declines in upwelling intensities, predicted increases in frequency and intensity of El Niño events in the Benguela marine ecosystem, and predicted increases in sulphide eruptions. Granting foreign species protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act means that the import or export of any of the species, or their parts or products, as well as their sale in interstate or foreign commerce, is prohibited. Take of listed species, which includes harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, collect, or to attempt any of these, within the U.S. is also prohibited. Permits for these prohibited actions may be issued for specific purposes consistent with the Endangered Species Act. African Penguin's IUCN Red List Status recently changed from Vulnerable in the 2009 category to Endangered in 2010. African Penguins are currently the focus of extensive conservation action which is being conducted by a number of organizations in South Africa, and a concerted effort will be needed to lift this embattled penguin from its precipitous population decline. "Along the coast of Namibia and South Africa (the only current breeding sites for the species), only seven islands now support 80% of the global population which decreased from 141,000 pairs in 1956-1957 to an estimated 25,262 pairs today, representing a decline of 60.5% over three generations", explained Dr Ross Wanless, the Manager of BirdLife South Africa's Seabird Division. The final rule appeared in the September 28, 2010 Federal Register and will become effective on October 28, 2010. For more information visit the Service's website at www.fws.gov/endangered. African Penguin is one of the species benefitting from the BirdLife Preventing Extinctions Programme. In June 2009, the Charl van der Merwe Trust became a Species Champion for African Penguin. The programme is spearheading greater conservation action, awareness and funding support for all of the world's most threatened birds.

As the number of spectral bands of high-spectral resolution data increases, the ability to detect more detailed classes should also increase, and the classification accuracy should increase as well. Often the number of labelled samples used for supervised classification techniques is limited, thus limiting the precision with which class characteristics can be estimated. As the number of spectral bands becomes large, the limitation on performance imposed by the limited number of training samples can become severe. A number of techniques for case-specific feature extraction have been developed to reduce dimensionality without loss of class separability. Most of these techniques require the estimation of statistics at full dimensionality in order to extract relevant features for classification. If the number of training samples is not adequately large, the estimation of parameters in high-dimensional data will not be accurate enough. As a result, the estimated features may not be as effective as they could be. This suggests the need for reducing the dimensionality via a preprocessing method that takes into consideration high-dimensional feature-space properties. Such reduction should enable the estimation of feature-extraction parameters to be more accurate. Using a technique referred to as projection pursuit (PP), such an algorithm has been developed. This technique is able to bypass many of the problems of the limitation of small numbers of training samples by making the computations in a lower-dimensional space, and optimizing a function called the projection index. A current limitation of this method is that, as the number of dimensions increases, it is likely that a local maximum of the projection index will be found that does not enable one to fully exploit hyperspectral-data capabilities

Debut Author Spotlight for July
- Details
- Published: 05 July 2016 05 July 2016
I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
In the flash of an eye. Just an inattentive moment. An energetic young boy. That's all it takes in this story of a death caused by a hit and run on a rainy afternoon. The protagonist, Jenna Gray, moves to a remote cottage on the Welsh coast while trying to forget the memory of a car accident as it replays in her memory. What is so surprising is the twist in this tale as the reader moves through the life of this struggling woman as she tries to find some peace. This is a debut novel I would definitely recommend.

Oprah names Kos one of her sexiest men in the world
posted at 2:16 pm on September 29, 2006 by Allahpundit
Of course, Oprah thinks Stedman is hot. So, you know.
This would make sense, sort of, if it was one of those beautiful-on-the-inside lists that feminists like to do for fat women. But except for the two Google geeks, the rest of the guys on there are actually pretty good looking.
And I mean that in the least gay way possible.
Here it is, ladies. Take deep breaths.
Update: Just so we're all clear, Aimee Lee Ball came up with the list. It's published in Oprah's magazine, though.

With West Coast punk having attained the rarefied cultural stature of bobbleheads and above-the-ass-crack tattoos, its pioneers aren't exactly first in line for an interview with Terry Gross. But decades since inventing goth-punk and five years after regaining the rights to the name T.S.O.L., this Orange County quartet still offers the kind of shadowy palette that bands from artsier scenes love to contrive. Last year's Divided We Stand finds singer Jack Grisham (a former gubernatorial candidate in the California recall election) having grown into his politics and anguish with acrid anthems about war profiteers and poisonous relationships. If he's guilty of anachronism, it's in the way his frosty cadence occasionally veers toward the Count Chocula school of spooky vocals, but backers Ron Emory, Mike Roche and Billy Blaze apologize with a brand of unearthly surf-rock that only the Dead Kennedys have matched for sonic magnitude. Forgive them also for the Offspring they've wrought.

Original Message
The signs that America is turning into a third-world nation are showing up everywhere ( [
link to www2.macleans.ca
] Witness the crumbling of our infrastructure, most notably demonstrated by the I-35W bridge collapse ( [
link to en.wikipedia.org
] in Minneapolis, killing 13 people and injuring 145, to the more recent natural gas pipeline explosion ( [
link to en.wikipedia.org
] that burned 47 homes and killed 4 people with some still missing in San Bruno, California. What do we now have in common with Nigeria? Just like Nigeria, we are now a nation in which an oil giant from another country can come into our waters and our fisheries and spill millions of barrels of oil, cover up the severity of the gusher, and take into its control the entire government from the local parish presidents to the President of the United States.
You may be aware of the continuing downward spiral of places like Detroit ( [
link to www.nytimes.com
] And in Ohio, the Ashtabula County Sheriff has let the people of his county know that they can no longer necessarily depend on the sheriff's department to come to their rescue and that his department will no longer respond to property crimes (). "We have no patrol units. There is no one on the streets. We respond to only crimes in progress. We don't respond to property crimes," deputy sheriff Ron Fenton told Maclean's. The county once had a "very proactive" detective division in narcotics. Now, there is no detective division. "We are down to one evidence officer and he just runs the evidence room in case someone wants to claim property," said Fenton. "People are getting property stolen, their houses broken into, and there is no one investigating. We are basically just writing up a report for the insurance company."

The American Middle Class is disappearing before our very eyes ( [

] "From foreclosures to unemployment to household debt to bankruptcies, the American middle class is under assault -- and America is in danger of becoming a Third World nation," writes Arianna Huffington in Huffington Post ( [

] Thousands of jobs are being lost in the United States every day. How much longer will the jobs continue to hemorrhage? How much more can the Middle Class take? And what does this say about those who were already in poverty?
A new trend is emerging from the budget cuts being forced on the nation's infrastructure that looks more like "regression", rather than "progression". We have always existed in a growth paradigm; one where we enjoy progress. But today we're seeing municipalities cutting back on basic services like garbage collection. They are also turning off street lights at night to save money, leaving some neighborhoods vulnerable to increased incidents of crime. Some areas have begun to save money by downgrading their roads, opting to tear up asphalt in favor of gravel in order to save money ( [

Our financial system and the US Dollar are on the verge of collapse. How much longer can our economy be propped up by what is fast becoming a third-world financial system, with the richest 2% owning almost all the wealth while the remaining 98% try to scratch out a proud existance?
Is our country fading from it's former glory as the major superpower in the world? Will we be rescued from a fate that would have us homeless and hungry in our own former Land-o-Plenty? Are we becoming "Third World America"?

Selvedge to cross the pond; it contains a story on casual dressing that invited me not only to talk about current dress codes (to dress down or up?) but to contemplate the politics of casual dressing when a woman is of a certain age.
I've framed the article with some thoughts on the audience reaction to Jenny Beavan's choice of attire when she accepted her Academy Award for costume design for Mad Max; readers may remember that the red carpet leading to the stage was lined with side-eye as Beavan confidently walked it in her bomber jacket, clompy boots, and baggy trousers.
I was delighted to interview my talented cousin Hannah Thomson, who takes photographs of social events in New York, and has lots of experience seeing how women dress--both on the red carpet and at parties.

"Brooklyn" or Brackley Beach?
|Ireland or PEI?
|PEI or Ireland?
When the camera caressed the dunes in Ireland, I was positive that the movie was being filmed on Brackley Beach, so alike were the locations (Brooklyn's beach scenes were filmed on Curracloe Strand, Ireland.
And then I kept seeing Megan Follows' face in Saoirse Ronan's. Megan is, of course, better known as Anne of Green Gables. Both heroines have intelligence in their eyes, and a can-do spirit.
But what of the choices each heroine makes at the end of her story? Anne stays home on the Island -- where Gilbert also is -- and Eilis returns to Brooklyn --where Jim is not, but where Tony is.
In Brooklyn here's also a bit of Mr. Selfridge, with a touch of Mrs. Rachel Lynde. No raspberry cordial, but spaghetti lessons with a spoon, which is akin to drinking too much cordial/currant wine; it just isn't done, but serves the plot well.

A Flock of (Gucci) Frocks
My favourite is this Gucci bird-embellished dress that looks like it has been customized because it shows on the runway with a considerably lower neckline and a less poetic colour:
It's not easy to incorporate a bird into one's look, as Reed Krakoff once found out.
Remember when a first lady hopeful wore Krakoff's $1K silk bird tee on morning television and feathers subsequently flew?
Sure, the price of the tee was an issue, but to my eye what truly ran Krakoff afowl was that the bird looked much more like a slithery water creature than an avian.
Gucci, however, is so confident in its iteration that a capsule collection has taken flight: the bird appears also on solid in long:
and on solid in short (well, "midi"):
And all I can say, per Fanny Brice, via Adele, is "Hello, goawrjuss!"

Dries, Please . . .
And with this first day of spring, it's time to store my shearling bag and find something less wintery but still whimsical.
I pulled out a favourite bag by Dries Van Noten, a slender black envelope on a strap with a craftsperson-inspired brass "buckle."
And as if the designer is in agreement, today the New York Times published the illustrated Dries Van Noten interview, which I include, with charming animation, here.
So I decided it's a good day to enjoy a Dries retrospective, with some favourite looks over the years (including Harry the pup).

Miss Cavendish Meets Ace & Jig for Selvedge Magazine
It was so much fun to meet and chat via email with Jenna and Cary of Ace & Jig for my latest story in Selvedge Magazine.
These Brooklyn-based designers are smart, warm, and wonderfully obsessed with textiles--both researching them and creating their own woven fabrics.
In January they mounted a larger-than-life installation of their weaving at Liberty of London, where the looms and woven cloth functioned as "walls" for their boutique. In this article they talk about their design heritage, and remember their grandmothers' influence fondly.

"By analyzing data from this study," syas Paul Ridker, M.D., of Brigham & Women's Hospital, "physicians may be able to identify which of their patients are genetically predisposed to diseases, such as heart disease and breast cancer, and potentially tailor their treatment approach to those patients accordingly."
Researchers hope to identify inherited genetic differences among women that may lead to the development of such diseases by comparing the potential genetic variations in women with one of these diseases to those who have remained healthy. The Women's Genome Health Study will genotype 28,000 women, all of whom have been clinically monitored for more than 10 years and tracked for the development of these common diseases, using the HumanHap300-Duo BeadChip.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Apple initiating 'union awareness' training for retail managersApple on Tuesday will launch a new mandatory training program to educate its retail managers on how to deal with unions.
According to an internal document first obtained by CNET, all new store managers will be required to take the training course, which starts Tuesday. All managers will also be required to take it biannually.
"This course is intended to provide managers with a practical understanding of how unions affect the workplace, how and why employees organize, and the legal do's and don'ts of dealing with unions," the course's description reads. "This is a mandatory class for all new managers, and is required biannually for all managers."
The training is also billed as a "great opportunity" for managers to meet the company's legal team and ask any questions.
It's possible the training is meant as a defensive counter to recent calls for an Apple retail union. In May, a group called the "Apple Retail Workers Union" contacted members of the press to gain publicity and support in hopes of unionizing in response to "unfair treatment" at Apple's retail stores.
The company's retail initiative turned 10 years old this year, with a total of 357 stores around the world as of the end of September. The unit, however, is in flux, as Ron Johnson, the executive who built Apple's retail stores into a booming business, left the company at the beginning of this month to become the CEO at J.C. Penney. Apple has not announced his replacement, though the company has said it is actively looking for his replacement.

It seems that once the new F-Series launches it will have a third colour option, gold to add to red and black. According to the link, the gold model will only ship in 8GB capacity. One more photo after the break.
Thanks Jad.
Judging by Sony's releases in the past
$299 for Black
$399 for Red
$799 for Gold
The regular price for the F-Series is too much, Sony should have capped the price at 199 for the 16GB model or at least cheaper than the current price.
I went to my local sony store, none of the Walkmans were there yet unfortunately so I couldn't check out the new F.
