Product safety and quality
For more than 80 years, our solid experience and open mind in product development have resulted in patented solutions that improve safety and driving comfort in the demanding conditions.
Our company invests in the latest technology and materials. This is demonstrated by the periodic renewal of our comprehensive product range that we tailor carefully for different markets: new products comprise at least a quarter of our annual turnover.
The basic principle of our product development has remained the same for more than 80 years: our tyres are designed for the challenging conditions and for consumers who demand safety, durability and comfort under all conditions.
Consumers' tyre choice is based on the tyre's suitability for their use scenario and way of driving. For example, a contractor that operates heavy machinery requires a different type of tyre than someone who drives a passenger car. Contractors look for efficiency improvements and a longer service life. In line with our global product policy, we offer tailored products and precision innovations for different circumstances and markets. Our development efforts are guided by the principle of sustainable safety: the safe characteristics of a tyre need to remain virtually unchanged throughout the lifecycle of the product.
In 2015, the Nordic winter tyres with high ice grip comprised 60.6% of our entire winter tyre range. The proportion of tyres that reduce fuel consumption through ultra-low rolling resistance was 85% (compared to 76% in 2014). A total of 90.4% of our summer tyre products were in the very high wet grip category. Our premium tyres with low rolling resistance and high wet grip correspond to categories A, B and C in the EU tyre label. The number of our active products also grew by 12% in 2015.
We build our products around green choices
Our principle of sustainable safety in product development incorporates our promise of developing eco-friendly products and production technologies. As a tyre industry forerunner, we have pioneered the development of products that use eco-friendly raw materials and minimise the environmental impacts during use.
In 2015, for example, we launched summer and winter tyres with the EU tyre label's class A ratings: The Nokian Hakka Green 2 and Nokian eLine 2 summer tyres as well as the Nokian WR SUV 3 winter tyre (size 265/50 R19 V) all have class A rolling resistance. Nokian WR SUV 3 is the world's first winter tyre with the EU tyre label's best class A wet grip and fuel efficiency ratings. The size ranges of Nokian Hakka Green 2 and Nokian eLine 2 include several models with the EU tyre label's class A wet grip and rolling resistance. The EU tyre label's ratings vary within the same range of tyres.
We completely stopped using harmful high-aromatic oils in our production already in late 2004. We are not using any carcinogenic raw materials in production. Our example accelerated the use of purified low-aromatic oils in tyre production in Europe.
In addition to low-aromatic mineral oils, we only use plant-based oils in our products. Rapeseed oil is a renewable raw material that we add to rubber compounds for improving the tear strength of winter tyres as well as grip on snow and ice. In summer tyres, we use pine tree oil for improving wear resistance. Rubber compounds may contain up to 20% of oils.
In addition to the rubber compounds, we use steel and textiles in tyre production as reinforcing materials. The rubber compounds contain filler substances for natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and oils, such as carbon black and silica as well as sulphur and various chemicals.
In our production, we never use raw materials that our laboratory has not approved. When we receive a raw material batch, we take a sample for a laboratory analysis, and we only use the batch in the production of rubber compounds after it has been approved by our laboratory.
In accordance with our purchasing policy, we purchase our raw materials from internationally reliable suppliers, and our product procurement process includes determining the suppliers' commitment to environmental issues.
We recycle the packaging of all raw materials that we receive and, for example, we return some of the pallets to the suppliers for reuse.
The tyre choice matters
Tyre tests by motoring magazines thoroughly compare the different studded and non-studded winter tyres on the market and their performance on ice, snow and wet roads. Whether you are choosing winter or summer tyres, you should keep in mind the following:
As well as the overall score, pay attention to the subtests for different properties, such as ice grip, driving comfort or fuel economy.
Consider the other users of the car and their driving experience in addition to your own preferences when choosing new tyres. For improved safety, the tyres for a shared family car should be chosen to suit the least experienced driver.
Moreover, the tyre tests show how much the tyres on the market differ in terms of road safety. The difference in braking distance, for example, may be more than 20 metres between the best and poorest tyre in the test.
The costs of driving are another reason why tyre tests should be examined more closely, as rolling resistance amounts to approximately 20% of the vehicle's fuel consumption. The lower the rolling resistance, the lower the fuel consumption. Despite the common misconception, usually winter tyres have lower rolling resistance than most summer tyres.
The tyre choice may also affect driving comfort. The softer rubber compound makes non-studded winter tyres quieter than studded winter tyres. However, modern stud technology has significantly reduced the noise of studded tyres.
Lower rolling resistance is good for the environment
The most significant environmental impacts during the use of a tyre are caused by the vehicle's fuel consumption. Lower fuel consumption reduces the amount of greenhouse gases released into the air. Tyres with low rolling resistance may save even more than 0.6 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres and reduce CO2 emissions by 14 g/km. In 2015, the proportion of our tyres with low rolling resistance that reduce fuel consumption was 85%.
One factor that affects the rolling resistance is the weight of the tyre. Lower tyre weight also reduces raw material and process energy consumption. Through determined, long-term product development, we have managed to further reduce the rolling resistance of our new products and create tyres that roll lighter than ever before.
Currently, passenger car winter tyres have lower average rolling resistance than summer tyres. We have achieved this by improving the tread patterns and surface rubber compounds. We continue our efforts on further reducing the rolling resistance of our tyres.
Nokian WR SUV 3: The EU tyre label's best A rating now in a winter tyre
In autumn 2015, Nokian Tyres introduced in the Central European market the world's first winter tyre that provides the best class A wet grip and fuel efficiency according to the EU tyre label. The Nokian WR SUV 3 (size 265/50 R19 V) is a winter tyre that can reduce the braking distance on a wet road up to 18 m and reduce fuel consumption by 0.6 I/100 km. The lightly rolling tyres also reduce CO2 emissions by 14 g/km.
The new tyre uses the Nokian Twin Trac SUV Silica rubber compound, which we have specifically adapted for SUV use, and the Nokian Aramid Sidewall technology. It offers the best snow and wet grip and fuel efficiency in the market, precise handling and excellent durability for the varying Central European winter conditions.
Quieter tyres improve road safety
While the reduction of road noise improves overall comfort, it also affects the driver's alertness and thus road safety.
We work continuously on reducing tyre noise, and one of our goals in product development is designing quieter tyres. The surface patterns of our products feature several inventions that reduce noise, including the placement of tread blocks, protrusions in longitudinal grooves, and noise cavities.
Natural materials and eco-friendly products that reduce fuel consumption, harmful emissions, and rolling noise will also pave the way for us in the future.

Careful testing
Our products' wear resistance is based on careful structural development and testing. Product testing in authentic environments and thoroughly understanding the winter and product characteristics are important for us. Our Ivalo Testing Center focuses on demanding winter testing from October to May. High-quality equipment, diverse tests, and competent product development teams and test drivers ensure that all of the extreme conditions of winter driving are explored in Ivalo.
At our test centre in Nokia, we test tyres from spring until late autumn. It provides unique conditions for slush-planing tests, for example, which we were the first in the world to introduce in 1996.
In order to obtain sufficient test results, we also test our tyres on international tracks. Additionally, our tyres are tested indoors using testing equipment that measures structural strength and high-speed endurance. We use repetitive tests for monitoring the flawlessness of the tyres and for ensuring the high quality and technical reliability of our products. In order to ensure comprehensive knowledge, we engage in testing co-operation with many of our customers in all product groups and we welcome customer observations. Close co-operation with leading car manufacturers ensures that the products optimise the use of state-of-the-art technology. The development process of an entirely new passenger car tyre takes 2 to 4 years.
Climate change introduces new requirements for winter tyres, which must ensure safe grip on snow and ice as well as on slush and wet roads. We take the challenges imposed by climate change into consideration in our design and testing operations.
Our group has not had any major product recalls in more than 15 years, which demonstrates our careful product testing, thorough quality control, and high-quality raw materials. Furthermore, our company has not been involved in any legal proceedings regarding product liability.
It's all in the feel – you can only judge a tyre by driving on it
Even the best instruments cannot measure the driving feel of a tyre. Each year, Nokian Tyres' test drivers cover hundreds of thousands of kilometres, feeling, sensing and evaluating. Once the vehicle has become part of the body, the test driver knows what a tyre feels like.
In addition to Finland, we perform tyre testing worldwide, on different roads and in rapidly changing weather. The world's best test drivers, thorough testing and versatile testing equipment guarantee that our tyres will work in the best possible way under varying and even extreme conditions.
The Hakka Guarantee ensures that unexpected tyre damage does not end your trip
Our Nokian Hakka summer tyres provide optimal grip on the rough Northern roads in a range of temperatures from early spring until late autumn. Our unique Hakka concept includes the Hakka Guarantee and the related roadside assistance service, which provide more peace of mind for the Northern roads year-round.
The Hakka Guarantee is a unique service that we offer in connection with a new set of Nokian Hakka and Nokian Hakkapeliitta tyres: if a tyre that has been used appropriately becomes accidentally damaged beyond repair, we will replace it with a corresponding new product free of charge at a Nokian Tyres dealer, for example in Finland, Sweden, Norway, or Russia.
The Hakka Guarantee is valid for up to one year from the date of purchase or to a groove depth of 4 millimetres. The Hakka Guarantee includes a roadside assistance service which ensures that the customer will reach his or her destination even on the worst possible day. If the tyre is broken while on the road, a phone call is sufficient, and the roadside assistance service will be dispatched.
We also offer the Aramid Guarantee that covers accidental sidewall damage for the Nokian Line SUV, Nokian zLine SUV, Nokian WR SUV 3, Nokian Weatherproof SUV and Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV tyres, which use the Aramid Sidewall Technology. The consumer can have the damaged tyre replaced with a corresponding product at any dealer that participates in the Nokian Tyres Aramid Guarantee programme.

Tyre label for supporting the purchase decision
We actively follow the development of the environmental and safety regulations in Finland, the EU and Russia for anticipating the effects of pending legislation in our operations.
In Europe, tyres are ranked according to the EU tyre label on a scale from A to G. The green A is the best and the red G is the worst class. The label indicates how the tyre affects fuel efficiency and how it performs on wet roads. Furthermore, the external rolling noise of the tyre is displayed in decibels. In practice, moving from one class to a higher one means reducing the fuel consumption of the average passenger car by 2–3%. The EU tyre label's ratings vary within the same range of tyres.
However, the tyre label does not take into account the actual winter conditions that are typical in the Nordic countries. The label applies to non-studded winter tyres but not to studded tyres. The only safety parameter indicated by the label is the wet grip of the tyre. Emphasising wet grip is well suited to the road conditions in Central Europe, but the most important safety characteristics in the demanding and varying Nordic winter conditions are grip on ice and snow. In this respect, the current tyre label may be misleading to consumers and endanger road safety.
There are significant differences between Nordic and Central European non-studded winter tyres. Comparison tests by Nokian Tyres have demonstrated that the braking distance at 50 km/h is 60 metres with Nordic winter tyres but 78 metres with Central European winter tyres. You cannot tell by looking at a non-studded winter tyre whether it provides sufficient grip on ice. Already in 2013, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland proposed a snow and ice grip label that would help consumers choose the right tyre for their needs and road conditions. As pioneers in safety, we aim to achieve a requirement for presenting verifiable data on the winter grip properties of approved winter tyres. An ice grip label would help consumers choose suitable tyres and improve road safety especially in the Nordic countries.
Although the tyre label makes it easier to compare different tyre models, it is best to support the decision by consulting professional tyre dealers, independent tests by magazines and tyre manufacturers. The most important aspect in terms of consumer safety is to buy the correct tyres for the given driving conditions.
Read more about the tyre label and its applicability to the Northern winter conditions.
EU tyre label testing
As of November 2012, consumers who are purchasing new tyres at a dealer have been able to see the mandatory EU tyre label on the tyre tread or next to the tyre when making a purchase decision. Tyre manufacturers also publish the information of the label on their websites and in their technical marketing materials, for example.
The tyre label shows a product's fuel economy, wet grip and external rolling noise classes. The EU tyre label regulation requires each manufacturer to test its tyres with the specified, internationally standardised testing methods and determine the classes for each product based on the test results. The manufacturer is not required to test every single product. Instead, it can group the products according to their characteristics, as necessary. Moreover, the regulation requires EU member states to conduct national market surveillance and provides instructions on verification testing. The European Commission has been assigned with coordinating national market supervision by the member states for achieving higher benefits throughout the EU.
In order to keep the fuel economy ratings as comparable as possible, the underlying rolling resistance testing may only be conducted with equipment harmonised with a European reference machine. The European Commission coordinates this extensive, international harmonisation process. All Nokian Tyres' rolling resistance test machines have been harmonised with the EU system.
New eco-friendly tyres
A good tyre is much more than just a hunk of rubber. It is a product of high technology that is produced with precision as the result of careful development work and comprehensive testing. The production of a reliable tyre involves chemical and technical competence, high-quality raw materials and structural solutions, and thorough testing.
The optimised structure and advanced raw material design improve the eco-friendly properties of modern winter tyres.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 and Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV
The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 combines excellent winter safety with low road wear, which is important for the environment. This is made possible by our proprietary Nokian Eco Stud 8 concept which ensures that the tyre reduces road wear while providing even safer winter grip properties. When the studs are properly cushioned, the road wear impact of the tyre is considerably lower than the limit defined in the Nordic stud legislation, the studs are more durable and the tyre noise is quieter.
The modern stud technology optimises winter grip and eco-friendly properties, and it enabled us to increase the number of studs in the tyre. While the tyre is easier on the road surface, it has, on average, 50% more studs when compared to previous generation tyres. Furthermore, the symmetric tread pattern and unique innovations of the tyre reduce the tyre noise.
Learn more about our next-generation anchor stud with improved eco-friendly properties, which we are also using in the studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV!
Developed for SUVs, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV 8 is the result of careful product development over the course of nearly four years. As a result of determined testing in our testing centres in Ivalo and Nokia, the Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV can bear and manage its high wheel loads in a stable and confident fashion on icy, snowy, slushy and dry roads. Additional challenges for drivers are posed by freezing ground, which damages roads and makes them uneven, and the sharp edges of the kerb.
According to studies, SUV tyres are most often damaged by impacts to the tyre sidewall. The studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV as well as several others of our SUV products maximise the impact and cut protection with the Nokian Tyres Aramid Sidewall technology. The sidewall compound contains the extremely strong aramid staple fibre and provides exceptional protection against wear and cuts. The same material is utilised by the aerospace and defence industries. The aramid fibre stiffens and reinforces the sidewall to even better withstand external impacts and pressing against the wheel flange.

Nokian Hakka – cool performance
In the north, the summer is a time of surprising changes in the weather. For this reason, we developed the Nokian Hakka summer tyres. Uneven and rough road surfaces as well as rapidly changing weather conditions are typical of the North, and they require special features from a tyre. We have developed the rubber compounds and tyre structures for our Hakka summer tyres for the demanding and varying summer conditions. Our Hakka summer tyres perform predictably across a wide temperature range and they have a high tolerance for wear and the occasionally poor road conditions.
The newest member of the Hakka summer tyre range, the Nokian Hakka Green 2, has the EU tyre label's best class A rolling resistance rating in various sizes.
The Nokian Hakka summer tyres are also covered by the Nokian Tyres Satisfaction Promise. If you are not satisfied with your Nokian Hakka summer tyres, you can exchange them for another set. Read more!
Respecting the fields and forests
Nokian Heavy Tyres, which is part of the Nokian Tyres group, is one of the most well-known and successful manufacturers of special tyres in the world. Our unit designs, develops, and manufactures high-quality and eco-friendly tyres and retreading materials for the industry, heavy truck and trailer combinations, lorries, and buses. Our product range also includes special tyres that are designed for agriculture, earthmoving, road maintenance, military vehicles, ports, and the mining industry. Nokian Heavy Tyres is a market leader in forestry tyres.
The rubber compounds, tread patterns, and structures of the Nokian special tyres are designed to withstand heavy-duty use, which ensures more operating hours and reliable functionality under all conditions. Our thorough field testing and research guarantee the desired properties of the tyres. The eco-friendliness and high quality of raw materials are also essential in the manufacture of all heavy tyres.
An incredible tractor world speed record – 130.165 km/h!
The two professionals in the Northern conditions, Nokian Tyres and Valtra, joined forces to set the new tractor world speed record. The record attempt took place on a snowy and icy road in Finnish Lapland on 19 February 2015. At the wheel of the tractor was the multiple Rally World Champion Juha Kankkunen. The new world record is 130.165 km/h (80.88 mph). The record speed was set with the world's first winter tyre for tractors, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI (440/80R28 151D & 540/80R38 167D), and the Valtra T234 tractor.
Nokian Tyres extended its comprehensive winter tyre range to tractors with the launch of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI. Its unique tread model, winter rubber compound and sipes are designed to maximise grip and effective performance. The diagonal sipes in the tread blocks ensure a high number of gripping edges and improve traction in the rolling and lateral directions.
Testing under extreme conditions is at the core of our operations, and it requires unique expertise. Such high speeds on winter roads demand tyres that provide uncompromising stability, grip and handling. These are exactly the characteristics that we focused on in the development of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI.
Safe driving with articulated vehicles
The Nokian truck tyres and the Nokian Noktop retreading materials are designed for demanding professional use under varying conditions. All Hakkapeliitta and Hakka truck tyres have an official winter tyre marking, which makes it easier to choose a tyre for the Northern conditions. For example, there are very few trailer tyres on the market that would meet the requirements of winter conditions.
We are actively involved in the improvement of heavy vehicle safety and the reduction of their environmental impact. We work closely and in strict confidentiality with bus and transport companies in order to enable effective product development. In Ivalo, for example, we have arranged an event for testing the behaviour of new winter tyres and new All Season tyres, which are typically used in Central Europe, and comparing their performance under winter conditions.
Based on the test results, the difference between the winter tyres and All Season tyres was more than 20 per cent in favour of the winter tyres in terms of both braking distance and acceleration. Due to the heavy loads, trailers account for most of the rolling resistance in full trailer trucks. Research has showed that the right choice of tyres can keep the rolling resistance low and significantly reduce the swinging of the trailer. We immediately applied these results to our tyre recommendations.
However, under Northern conditions, simply minimising rolling resistance is not the solution in terms of safety. Rather, choosing the right tyres for the entire truck and trailer combination has a significant impact on winter road safety. The right choice of tyres and retreading materials can achieve the best solution in terms of both economy and safety.
Nokian Hakka Truck Drive receives German innovation award
At the end of 2015, Nokian Hakka Truck Drive won the German innovation award "Innovation des Jahres 2016" in a vote by the readers of the Busplaner magazine. The award was given at Busworld, Europe's largest bus and coach exhibition held in Kortrijk, Belgium.
Nokian Hakka Truck Drive received 43% of the votes. One of the reasons was the V-shaped tread pattern that improves the self-cleaning properties of the tyre, thereby preventing the accumulation of slush and snow in the grooves.
The Nokian Hakka Truck Drive is an all-season drive-axle tyre for cargo and bus traffic, tailored for long and medium haul use in the varying Central European and Nordic conditions. The tyre offers excellent wear resistance, grip and stability without any compromises.
Nokian Noktop rolls lightly
The Nokian Noktop retreading materials are exported to approximately 20 countries around the world. All in all, our portfolio includes 25 different Nokian Noktop treads and, considering the different width, there are more than one hundred different products. We have an industry-leading portfolio especially in terms of winter products.
Our production technology considers nature and environmental values, minimising the direct and indirect environmental impact in the manufacture of Nokian Noktop materials. Retreading tyres is in itself an eco-friendly measure. The CO2 emissions of retreading a tyre are significantly lower compared to producing a new tyre. In addition, the Nokian Noktop production process meets the requirements of the ISO 14001 environmental standard.
Retreading reduces both costs and the environmental impacts. Even though the times are changing, it is still relevant to companies looking for cost savings.
Nokian Noktop: 40 years of the best retreading materials
2015 marks the 40th anniversary of the Nokian Noktop retreading materials. The story of Nokian Noktop started in the 1970s when a new retreading method, cold process retreading, became more common around the world, including in Finland. The new technology also attracted the interest of Nokia Ab Kumitehdas, the company known today as Nokian Tyres.
The Nokian Noktop brand was created as the result of a name contest for company employees. The name combines references to "Nokia Kumitehdas" and its expertise as well as the tyre's tread and high quality. Nokian Tyres started its cold process retreading business under its own brand in 1975. This is also where the history of the Nokian Noktop product line begins.
Through determined communication and advertising campaigns by the tyre industry, end users soon understood that the best way to cut tyre costs was taking care of the tyre body. Now, a tyre with worn tread was no longer considered waste but rather an asset with utility value.
Professional drivers require a specialised service
Availability is key when providing service for heavy equipment and professional drivers. The majority of Finnish Vianor outlets offer heavy equipment service. The turnaround time is also essential for professionals. In Finland, Vianor provides a national on-call service 24/7.
Retreading heavy tyres reduces raw material consumption, and it is an economically responsible practice. Vianor has six retreading plants in the Nordic countries: three in Finland, one in Sweden and two smaller plants in Norway.
Service outlets take the tyre bodies to retreading, and the retreaded tyres are reinstalled by the same outlet: Vianor's process ensures that the same tyre bodies are returned to the customer, retreaded as requested.

High-MOI Design
Precision Fitting
The complete performance of Titleist 816 hybrids can be maximised through the precision fitting of Titleist's patented, industry-leading SureFit Tour adjustable hosel and SureFit weight technology.
816H hybrids feature a new SureFit Tour hosel configuration that adjusts loft and lie independently in 1º increments (as compared to .75º increments on 915). The 1º increments mirror the adjustments typically made to irons, while allowing more fitting flexibility for players to try the same lofts at different shaft lengths. The adjustable SureFit Flatweight (available 6, 9, 11, 13 and 16 gram weights) provides further flexibility when fitting different loft and length options.
Titleist 816H2 Hybrid has a smaller, pear profile for launch and trajectory control with a slight offset for more aggressive players that engage the turf. H2 produces 150-300rpm less spin for a flatter flight. This is combined with the Diamana S+ Blue graphite shaft that helps produces a mid launch for a more penetrating ball flight.
This 816H2 hybrid also comes with its own branded head cover.
Shaft options
This is a versatile shaft that helps golfers produce a mid-launch. Thanks to the Blue Board bend profile combined with the high balance point, this shaft helps maximise shot making workability.

Merrigan ponders the future of bookstores, amazon, and the impact of POD to the eBook industry. Comments from publishers offer even more ideas and perspectives.  One comment, from Michael Pastore, states "This machine could also be deployed in libraries, and help make some money for libraries, which are much in need right now. And independent bookstores might be looking at this machine reverently, as a mechanical messiah."
Thoughts on the UM Press Digital Move
You've probably read the news about the University of Michigan Press going digital only with most of their titles. They've decided to jump to the future business model ahead of many publishers, by going digital now, rather than later. I like their reasoning for the move. Phil Pochoda, Director of the UM Press was quoted in the Inside Higher Ed article to say "Why try to fight your way through this? Why try to remain in territory you know is doomed? Scholarly presses will be primarily digital in a decade. Why not seize the opportunity to do it now?"
Another reason for the decision was to increase the number of titles that UM Press could publish. With the cost of printing and distribution, only titles that would sell, sell, sell were printed. Publishing digital only means more titles from more scholars on more topics, not just those that fit the mainstream. I think that's good for everyone.
UM Press can also utilize the new Espresso Book Machine acquired by the UM in 2008 (see NSR post). The print on demand (pod) machine has the ability to offer print versions of the digital titles for those who aren't quite ready for the ebook world.
University of Pennsylvania to Digitize and Print-on-Demand
I read this article in LJ about another library digitization/print-on demand product. This time it's with the University of Pennsylvania (UP) and Kirtas. UP is now part of the elite group of libraries providing print-on-demand services including University of Michigan, Emory, and Cornell.
The UP project will scan books in the public domain (200,000), but only when a title is requested by an end user.  So, it's kind of like the Patron Driven Acquisition ebook model, but now it's being done in reverse. Take the print, digitize it, then print a copy on demand to ship to a user. Price information was not listed on the UP Press Release.
Springer's MyCopy….$24.95 and it's yours!
Springer announced it's new pilot print on demand service – MyCopy –  for "registered" patrons. The service allows a library's registered patrons to order a softcover print copy of an ebook the library has ALREADY purchased. The copy is to be used by the patron for personal use. 11,000 titles are currently available, assuming your library owns all of those! Books are printed in black and white with a color softcover.
Publishing will never be the same folks. I hope Springer shares the title data with libraries. That could be a useful collection development tool.
I couldn't help but think about this on the way home today….but wouldn't this be the best way for students to buy cheap textbooks? Libraries subscribe to the ebooks of major textbook publishers and they all do print-on-demand for patrons at $24.95. Oh wait, we are talking about textbook publishers here, better make that $99.95!�
First McGill, now Michigan. Libraries in the Print-on-Demand Biz
I was envious with McGill's news, and now Michigan! Talk about rubbing salt on my wounds….
Seriously, this is fantastic news for UM Libraries. Their new "Espresso Book Machine," – and it ain't coffee folks – will print-on-demand titles from the UM digital collection. Public domain titles from the 2 million item collection will be the first shot for Espresso. Books will cost around $10.00, but must be picked up in person, as UM doesn't plan on getting in the shipping business.
LJ News has a nice story. For more information on the Espresso, check out On Demand Books.
McGill University to digitize materials and print on demand
What a fabulous innovation from McGill University. They purchased a Kirtas APT BookScan 2400RA and will be digitizing rare materials from their collection to sell via print-on-demand. It's fabulous to see a library embarking on a project like this, one that will bring income! Wow, the envy I have…..

After suffering a 10-9, 10-inning loss to Inman on Sunday, the Kershae County Post 17 American Legion baseball team fell into the elimination bracket in the double-elimination event.
The South Carolina Senior State American Legion Tournament continues today through Wednesday at Riley Park in Sumter.
SUMTER --- When you are in new territory, you sometimes like to feel your way around before you get comfortable.
As he was heading home in the wee hours of Friday morning from Thursday's evening's baseball game at Georgetown, Kershaw County American Legion baseball team pitching coach Will Dorton stopped by a gas station to fill his car's tank. While there, Dorton, who still had his Post 17 uniform on, had a local police officer come up to him asking how the team did and who was pitching in that night's third game.
The South Carolina Senior State American Legion Tournament begins Saturday at Riley Park in Sumter. Here is all the information you will need as to the event:
Kershaw County will make its long-awaited American Legion State Tournament debut on Saturday when Post 17 takes on Rock Hill in the third (scheduled for 4:30 p.m.) game at Riley Park in Sumter.
Loading up the team bus for a trip to Georgetown for the third time in as many days for one game, the Kershaw County American Legion baseball team took another step closer to earning a state tournament berth on Thursday.
Perched in front of their dugout, members of the Kershaw County American Legion baseball team started leaning as they prepared to rush the field after Bradwin Salmond's diving grab of Mark Allen Nash's liner to right field put the locals on the door step of a long-awaited trip to the state American Legion tournament.
One night after heavy rains in the Georgetown area forced the postponement of Tuesday's game two of the state American Legion second round playoff series between Kershaw County and host Georgetown, weather problems stopped the following evening's game dead in its tracks.
The third and fourth installments of the Lugoff-Elgin wrestling camp are scheduled over the next two weeks.
South Florence Blue scored four runs in the first inning and held on for a 5-2 victory over Kershaw County Post 17 in the opening game of the second round state American Legion playoff series between the two teams on Monday night in Florence.
Coaches love to talk about those players who show up early to games and practices and put in additional time on the field to prepare for an upcoming game.
Kershaw County Post 17's quest to earn a trip to the state American Legion Baseball tournament continues tonight when the locals take on Georgetown in game one of the best-of-five second round Lower State playoff series.
It was a normal day which was about to take an abrupt U-turn.
Kershaw County Post 17 was one of two teams in the Lower Ttate American Legion baseball playoffs to have earned a berth in the second round of the post-season with a three-game sweep.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
An Indiana County man was killed Sunday night when his mobile home caught fire.
Steven Brewer, 35, was pronounced dead at his home in the 200 block of Lincoln Avenue in the Chevy Chase section of White Township, according to a news release from Indiana County Coroner Michael Baker.
The Indiana County 911 Center received a call about 10:07 p.m., but the residence was engulfed in flames when crews arrived minutes later.
Mr. Brewer was found in the kitchen. His dog also died in the blaze, but his 16-year-old son was safe elsewhere with friends, according to the coroner's office.
The State Police fire marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire. An autopsy is scheduled for this morning.breaking - neigh_east

Three Privacy Options To Consider For Your Home
When searching for ways to create privacy in your home, there are many options available to you. It is essential to take the windows in your home into consideration when trying to create privacy for your family. You want to be sure that no one can see into your home without your knowledge, and placing window coverings over the windows can be a great way to do that. The guide that follows walks you through a few of the privacy options that are available to you. Roller Shades Roller shades are shades that can be attached to the inner portion of each of the window frames in your house. The shades can easily be pulled down when needed and retracted all the way up to the top of the window frame when you want to allow light into the room. The shades are available in many different colors and thicknesses. You want to be sure that you choose a shade that is thick enough that it cannot easily be seen through when it is hung on your windows. Blackout Curtains Blackout curtains are also a great option when you want to create privacy in your home. They are available in a variety of lengths and designs. Many people choose to use blackout curtains in their homes because they allow them to have a designer look and the privacy they want at the same time. When choosing the blackout curtains that you want to use in your home, be sure to take the time to measure the windows. You need to decide how long you want the curtains to be before you go to purchase them so that you do not purchase any that are too long to suit your needs. Window Blinds Blinds are also a great option to use when you want to create privacy in your home. You can choose from plastic, aluminum, fabric, or even wood for your blinds. Many advancements have been made to blinds over the years. You can now choose blinds that can be programmed to open and close at specific times of the day to ensure maximum privacy when you need it most. When purchasing blinds, you need to make sure to measure the widths of your windows to ensure that the blinds will be wide enough to hang properly. All three of these options are quite easy to install on your own. The blinds and the shades come with directions to make sure that the installation can be done properly the first...read more
Temporarily Patching A Glass Pane While Waiting For A Replacement
If you have a broken glass window in your home that you plan to replace soon, keeping insects and inclement weather from getting inside your house is most likely a priority. There are several ways you can patch a broken window when waiting for a glass repair service to come to do a new pane installation. Here are some tips to use to patch your window in an attempt to keep people safe and keep your home free of nuisances like bugs and moisture. Temporarily Patch A Crack In Your Window Pane If your window is cracked but there are no apparent holes going straight through the pane, try patching it with heavy-duty clear packing tape. First, gently press on the pane of glass to make sure there are no loose slivers of glass you may not have seen embedded in the crack. These can be removed with a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers so the tape will adhere without obstructions in the way. Cleanse the area on each side of the window with a window cleaning agent and gently wipe it dry with a piece of microfiber cloth. Cut a piece of tape a bit longer than the length of the crack and apply it so the width of the tape is centered over the damaged portion of the glass. Gently press it into place. Continue the same process on the other side of the window. Add A Quick Cover-Up When A Hole Is Visible If your window has a small hole in the glass, remove any loose shards or slivers from around the void before covering the area. This will help minimize the risk of injury to those who come within range of the window. Afterward, cut a piece of thick cardboard to fit over the hole. This should be a few inches bigger than the diameter of the hole so the damaged portion will be completely contained. Use clear packing tape to tape the cardboard over the broken part of the window pane, making sure to seal all four edges of the cardboard securely so no one will come into contact with the broken glass. Repeat the process on the other side of the window. After the cardboard is in place, use a piece of heavy-duty plastic wrap to cover it on the exterior part of the window so it does not become wet should inclement weather become present outdoors. For professional help, contact a window and sliding glass door repair...read more
How to Optimize the Performance of Your New Energy-Efficient Windows
It's easy to save some money on your energy expenses and minimize unwanted drafts throughout the year just by investing in new energy-efficient windows for your home. Once your new windows are installed, you can optimize your windows' performance and increase your household's energy efficiency with the help of these tips and tricks: Invest in Solar Insulation Film An excellent way to optimize the performance of your new windows and increase your home's energy efficiency is to apply solar insulation film on them. This type of film is easy to install and helps reduce heat loss or gain depending on what time of year it is. Solar insulation film will also keep your home's walls, floors, and furniture protected from ultraviolet damage and fading. You'll find that solar insulation film is available in various tints and shades, which should make it easy to create a unique look for each room of your home. You can even make some of your windows look like they've been made of stained glass! Plant a Few New Trees By landscaping with a few new trees, you can increase your overall property value by up to 20 percent while reducing your HVAC use and improving your energy efficiency year round. Deciduous trees are a great choice because they tend to be full of large lush leaves in the summer, which will help to naturally shade your windows and home from the sun. In the winter, deciduous trees lose their leaves and let the sun's heat support your heating system by naturally warming things up throughout the day. To optimize your results, plant your new trees near any windows that get direct sunlight during the day and in front of your exterior HVAC system. Introduce Some Support Consider installing some energy-efficient treatments on your new windows to minimize drafts, deter mold and mildew, and reduce moisture buildup on the glass and walls. There are quite a few options to choose from such as: Insulated Panels—help reduce heat loss and heat gain year round, are inexpensive, and are easy to install. Awnings—reduce summer heat gain by up to 65 percent when they are around windows that face south and by up to 77 percent around windows that face west. Window Shades—are one of the most effective options for improving energy efficiency and come in various styles, colors, and designs. Incorporating just one of these options should result in significant energy savings, but you can use any of them in combination to improve your home's design while optimizing your energy-efficiency results. These methods and techniques shouldn't be hard to incorporate, and they are sure to provide you with impressive results throughout the year. If you are interested in having energy-efficient windows installed, contact a company that does home window...read more
Replacement Windows: Adding Security To Your Home
When you are considering replacement windows, you have a number of concerns to address. Of course, you want them to be attractive and energy-efficient. In addition to these concerns, you should consider their security factor. Certain window replacement types can help deter intruders. When it comes time to replace your windows, invest in those that are hard to break or breach. Window Style A casement window is an excellent choice to improve your security. These windows are opened by a hand crank that is located inside the house. The only way to open one is from the inside. You also do not need to invest in additional locking hardware. As long as you close the window, intruders cannot enter unless they shatter the glass. The windows are excellent for people who have trouble remembering to lock up at night. Other suggested styles include sliding windows. They have a lock that blocks their horizontal movement and keeps anyone on the outside from opening the window. Experts also suggest double-hung windows as well. Glass Type Burglars would rather force their way in through a window, but they will also break one on occasion to gain entrance. When you choose your replacement windows, you should consider insulated glass or double glazed glass. These are tough windows that require more force to break. You can also choose extra-thick glass for the most vulnerable areas, including those by your doors. Additional Measures If you are still worried about window security, you can add window bars when you have your new windows installed. These are particularly effective in high crime areas. With these bars in place, you are safe even if thieves break the glass. You shouldn't envision these bars as the type in prisons. You can find attractive window bars that actually accent the design of your home. They provide security without detracting from your home's curb appeal. You can also have window alarms installed that will sound if someone tries to open or breaks a window. Investing a little additional money can greatly improve your home's protection. When the time comes to install replacement windows, take the opportunity to strengthen the security of your home. The type of window you choose can make it more difficult for your home to be robbed. Pay attention to the type of glass you choose and consider adding extra security measures. Of course design and energy efficiency are important, but you can help discourage intruders at the same time. Visit http://www.beisselwindows.com for more information....read more
3 Things To Consider When Choosing Your Tiny Home's Exterior Siding
If you are looking to own your own living space without being tied to a single location or the expensive mortgage associated with a traditional home, then investing in the construction of a tiny house might be beneficial. Tiny houses provide you with the opportunity to downsize your living expenses while still enjoying the luxurious comforts you might be looking for in a home. Choosing the right siding to cover your tiny home's exterior can be a challenge. Here are three unique considerations that you need to keep in mind as you weigh your siding options during the construction of your small living space. 1. Look for a siding that can withstand all types of weather. One of the things that homeowners love about their tiny houses is the fact that many of these small abodes are mobile. If you are planning to relocate your tiny home on a regular basis, you will need to ensure that the siding you select can withstand all types of weather. Fiber-cement siding can make a great choice to cover the exterior of your tiny home. This type of siding can withstand fire, wind, and rain. Fiber-cement siding will not rot when it gets wet, and it is resistant to termite damage. These characteristics ensure that your fiber-cement clad tiny house will be prepared to thrive no matter what the climate conditions might be where it is parked. 2. Look for a lightweight siding. If you plan to keep your tiny home mobile, you must recognize that increasing the weight of your home with heavy siding could make it more difficult to tow. To ensure that you will be able to haul your tiny house with a regular truck or SUV, you should opt for a lightweight siding product. Keeping the weight of your construction materials to a minimum will ensure that even after you add your belongings, your tiny house won't be too heavy to move without the help of a commercial tow vehicle. 3. Invest in a high-quality siding product. Traditional home owners may settle for a siding product that is mediocre in quality in order to keep installation costs to a minimum. Since the average size of a tiny house is a mere 100 to 400 square feet, there is far less exterior surface space to cover with siding during the construction phase. This means that you can splurge on a high-quality siding product that will look great and last for a long time without breaking the bank. Selecting the right siding for your tiny home takes thought. Be sure that you are taking durability, weight, and quality into consideration before making your final selection. For more information, contact Blue Springs Siding and Windows or a similar...read more
Conducting Proper Maintenance Of Wood Siding So It Lasts
If you just had wood siding placed on your home, you are most likely enjoying the appearance of the new exterior. Since you just made this investment, you will want to keep the wood siding in the best possible condition so it looks great for years to come. Here are some steps you can follow in keeping your wood siding from becoming damaged so it retains its original appearance as a result. Take Time To Finish If you leave wood siding unfinished, it will be prone to all types of damage from moisture to wood rot. It is extremely important to add a coating of paint or stain on the unfinished wood to keep it protected from elements. Paint will provide adequate protection but will be more prone to cracking and peeling as the years pass. For this reason, it is important to keep on top of repainting sessions. Stain also gives the home protection but the coloring cannot be easily altered once it has been stained. Be positive you enjoy the color you are selecting to stain your wood siding before you apply it to the entire home. You can however, switch to paint after staining if you wish to change the appearance dramatically in the future. Clean The Home Appropriately Make sure to clean the wood siding on your home at least once every year. Use a soft-bristled brush and a wood cleaner to scrub away any debris present upon the surface. Afterward, rinse well with a pressure washer. It is best to do the cleaning in sections so the detergent does not dry onto the wood during the process. Should you notice areas with mold present, use a mixture of one part bleach to four parts water to cleanse the area. This will kill the mold spores in the area. Protect To Avoid Damage Make sure the caulk around your windows, doors, and at the edges of the home is doing its job at protecting your home by doing spot checks for deterioration. When you notice spots where caulk is crumbling, scrape it from the area using a paint scraper. Then, apply new caulk to this area to keep cracks filled. It is a good idea to trim back foliage around your home so there is no risk of moisture being transferred to the wood panels from an overhanging branch. At the first signs of a damaged wood panel, give a call to a contractor like Kemp's Windows Inc to come and replace it with a new piece. This will ensure additional pieces of wood do not become damaged due to moisture or a pest invasion getting underneath the broken part of the...read more
4 Ways To Wow With Your Replacement Windows
Having replacement windows installed is like giving your house an eye lift. The look may be subtle, but passersby will notice the overall façade is fresher. What's more, you can choose energy-efficient windows to cut down on your utility bills. In fact, according to Better Homes and Gardens, you can reduce heating and cooling costs by 15 percent with energy-efficient windows. While you're selecting the glass features that offer this budgetary bonus, choose window styles that add wow to your home's façade. Opt for Wood-Look Frames Wood and wood-look frames are the classic in window design. Wooden frames are de rigeur for certain home styles, especially traditional houses such as Cape Cods or Victorians. However, wood-look frames convey a sense of style to any home because wood is considered a premium material. True wooden frames are good insulators, but they require maintenance. Composite and fiberglass frames mimic the look of wood without the maintenance. They also tend to be eco-friendly choices with excellent energy efficiency ratings. Add Dormer Windows Dormer windows are a relatively easy way to add space to top-floor rooms. What's more, the dormers break up the look of a long roof line, giving it more visual interest. When choosing dormer styles, consider the overall design of your home. For example, if your house already features gables in the roofing, include this feature in the dormers. Additionally, dormer windows should run parallel to lower windows and be slightly smaller for a balanced effect. Attend to the Entryway Your entryway is the literal transition space into your home, so it makes the first solid impression on visitors. As such, design an attractive entryway that complements the house's façade with its windows. The exact design depends on your house. For example, if you have a tall home, consider tall transom windows above the door. If your house is wide, try attractive asymmetry with a single wide window next to the door. For a multi-level ranch, a porthole window halfway up the front stairs is a charming addition. Choose a Decorative Window Along those same lines, if you have a singleton window somewhere on your house's façade, consider changing to decorative glass. Stained glass is the most common decorative style, though you can opt for leaded glass. It's also possible to vary the shape of the window. For example, if you have a round clerestory window above your entryway, consider replacing it with a quatrefoil window. A decorative window draws the eye and adds interest to the exterior of your home. Let your replacement window choices make a statement while improving energy efficiency.

At some point in time or another, just about every homeowner will make the decision to upgrade the windows in their home. Whether it be because they simply want something new and stylish or their other windows are falling apart at the seams, new windows can provide you with a host of different benefits. As you look through all of the different options available, here are two things you want to consider as you choose what windows to install around your home. Energy-efficiency rating. One of the main things you want to look at when getting new windows is their overall energy efficiency. You want windows that are going to keep the hot or cold inside and keep your home at just the right temperature. By installing new energy-efficient windows, you can help cut down on the amount of time your furnace or air conditioner is going to run. Since your home will be able to maintain a more consistent temperature, your unit won't need to be running as often. Check a window's solar heat gain coefficient when choosing which windows to purchase. A window with a lower rating will be more effective at being able to reduce the load required to cool the home. You can also look at adding in a glaze to help reduce the amount of gain. Different climates need different ratings to accommodate the amount of glare from the sun. Method of Opening. Another thing to look into is how the windows open. While some people prefer windows that they can simply push open to let the air in, others want windows that you crank open. You have to look at your individual style and preference to help you make an informed decision about what you are going to get the most benefit from. You also have to think about what is going to be the most functional. With smaller children in the home, you want windows that are a little more difficult to open. Roughly, eight children who are aged five or under end up passing away every year because they fell out of a window. Beyond that, another 3,300+ end up injured and in the hospital recovering from injuries. Opt for a double-hung window to prevent children from being able to push the windows open. By spending some time to look at the things above, you can save yourself a lot of hassle and make sure you get the windows that you desire. Click here for more information about window...read more
4 Tips For Washing Your Windows
Window washing isn't anyone's favorite home chore, but it is something you can't keep putting off. Keeping the inside and outside of your windows clean doesn't have to be too difficult if you use the right materials and methods. Here are some helpful tips for washing your windows. Wash Them on a Cloudy or Overcast Day If you find that when you wash your windows, you always get spots or streaks, it might be due to the heat. When you wash windows on a hot day, the sun's UV rays cause the window washing solution to dry before you get a chance to clean the windows properly, which is what causes those spots and streaks. To avoid this, plan for a day when it is either cloudy or overcast outside. If you're in the middle of summer and want to wash your windows, at least wait for a time of day when you aren't getting intense heat directly on the windows. This is often early morning or late evening. Use a Squeegee Many people swear by certain types of materials for washing windows, such as microfiber cloths or towels from an auto supply store. However, take a cue from the pros: use a squeegee. There is a reason professional window cleaners use squeegees on windows. It helps to get them clean and shiny, without leaving streaks and lint behind. You will be amazed by how much easier it is to wash your windows using this handy tool. Look for a squeegee that is meant for home windows, being sure it has a soft rubber edge. Start using the squeegee on dry windows first as this helps to remove dust and get a smooth glass surface before going back in with your cleaning solution. Remove Dust and Debris First Before you start washing your windows, it helps to clean the window frames and sills before yous tart washing your windows. You might have beautiful windows you can see through, but the dust around them can make them look less than appealing. Plus, this dust can easily transfer to the windows, ruining all your hard work. Before you begin, begin dusting around the window, including in the sills, tracks, and hinges. Remove cobwebs, get loose dirt and remove debris. You might want to use a vacuum attachment for debris caught in the tracks. Make Your Own Cleaning Solution One of the best things you can do for your windows is to use an all-natural window washing solution. Instead of picking up a generic commercial product, first try combining hot water and white distilled vinegar in a spray bottle. Use that on your windows with your squeegee to see if you like the finished results. The only time you should need something stronger is if you have mold around your windows. In this case, wash them with a mixture of bleach and laundry detergent first, rinse them, then go in with your homemade cleaning solution. If you need more assistance, consider contacting a professional like those at Clear View,...read more
Pros And Cons Of Double-Paned Windows
Energy-efficiency is a concern to anyone that pays an electric bill. Those drafty doors and windows soon add up to you throwing your hard earned dollars to the wind. While you can't eliminate your electricity bill completely, you can reduce some of the heating and cooling costs by reducing these drafts to make your home more energy efficient. One major way to do this is by installing double-paned windows. Advantages Double-paned windows save money by reducing energy consumption. It makes sense that two layers of glass would offer more insulation than just the one layer that single-paned windows offer. Since there are two panes of glass, the amount of outdoor noise pollution that enters your home is lessened, resulting in a quieter home. You can have your double-paned windows coated with UltraViolet (UV) coatings and other various glazes, depending on your budget and what the manufacturer offers. Very cold areas should limit coatings that reduce the sun from coming in the home because the sun will help warm their home in the winter. However, in hotter areas, UV coatings should be maximized to limit the sun from heating the home, which will reduce the usage of air conditioning units. Pro Tips: Get the Most Out of Your New Windows Replacing only one window may not change your energy consumption much. So, if you are on a limited budget and can only replace one or two windows at a time, don't be discouraged when you don't see an immediate change on next month's bill. If you can replace all the windows at once, that is the best decision to make. Remember that some window providers do offer specials and discounts if you buy a certain number of windows at once, so keep that in mind when you are budgeting. Don't try to buy a cheap product. Quality is essential if your investment is to be successful. A cheaper window can cause condensation to develop between the panes, creating a moisture issue in your home. You should have a professional install the window to be sure it fits correctly. If not, much of the money spend on the project may be lost because of poor installation. Remember that these windows are an investment and they will pay for themselves over time. In addition to the savings you will reap each month on your energy bill, you are also giving your family a more comfortable and quieter home. Contact a business like Gallagher Bros. Inc. to learn...read more

David Willetts, the Universities Minister, wants to expand the number of students in this country. Sir Roderick Floud, the former president of Universities UK, says that half of our universities should shut down to fix our "messy, muddled" education system. Willetts, perhaps you'd like to give your job to Floud? Higher education has been crying out for reform for ages.
Our current university system does students a great disservice. The fact that graduate unemployment is so high must show that something's gone terribly wrong. Let's be honest - there are too many substandard and irrelevant courses. What's more, not all universities are the same. It's disingenuous to put young people in debt on the premise that the qualification they're struggling to pay for is going to be regarded favourably by employers, because in many cases it won't be.
A lot of students would do far better going straight to work at 18 instead and having training on the job whilst earning. Who actually needs a degree in playwork? Way back in the day, even professionals like accountants and lawyers went straight into on-the-job training from school. We've created a culture where not going to university isn't seen as an option. Actually, a lot of young people would quite like to be out there in the world, getting trained whilst earning money, instead of forking out for university with no guarantee of a job at the end of it.
So here are my ideas for reform. Let's get rigorous on-the-job training and apprenticeships in action wherever we can and promote that as a real option for building a future. Then let's have a maximum of thirty universities offering carefully selected, tightly regulated, first-class qualifications that offer a real chance of a future afterwards.
By reducing the amount of universities and courses, better quality control can be conducted on those remaining so those students and employers will know they're getting something worthwhile. Plus, we'd be saving a boatload of public money, so we could scrap tuition fees as well as funding apprenticeships. Heck, we could even start giving students housing grants again, so that bright students could attend university whatever their financial circumstances.
Or we could continue to flood the broken system, put more young people in debt unnecessarily and waste more time and money overall. Up to you, Willetts.Reuse content

Jack The Ripper. S/He is probably the least understood of all serial killers, and one of the most talked about. Superb writing, as if you were his wife. You've captured the fear, and love so eloquently Sinead :) Keep up the good work :)
That is extremely funny. A good tactic: mine the dark humour. Good work.
Most heartfelt and touching. Family values and solidarity in marriage. It can happen. I guess. Behind every great man.....
Happy trails,
Ed Bradley.
Great. I wonder if he did have a wife, I wonder why he killed those 5 women, I wonder who he was...
or she. everyone makes the assumption that only a man could have had surgecial training to kill five prostitutes. it could have been a surgeon's wife, anyone... which is probably why i'm fascinated about the whole subject. i love the mystery, the ambiguity, but most of all...the question of how the hell did they get away with it?
thanks for the comment ^_^
5/5, again yo u r so creative, u should publish a book. Your brilliant i aint even joking. I LOVED THIS ONE. *CREEPY* AND I LOVE CREEPY.
You really do have depth in your poetry. And i like that. You seem to have a lot of experience in it. A great poem if i may say.
P.S. I thank you for the honesty. You would make a great citique.
a lot of experience? i doubt that. i'm only 16, and have only been truly focused on my poetry for about seven months.
thanks a lot for the kind comments.
lol i'm just blunt. i don't mix my words. if i don't like something, i'll say it. please don't take offense ^_^
Well, this is a nice, creepy poem. Funny and yet so, so dark. Nice job!
This is nice. I'm not so good at poetry, but I wrote my own Jack The Ripper poem. I'm also going to work on a story about his very very very great grandson, Jackson Harper who takes up the mantle of Jack The Ripper but it's obviously set in modern times. Look out for it, I'll call it Shadow On The Wall. :D

Welcome to Cosentino Watch, where we recap the moves of San Francisco chef Chris Cosentino as he competes in Top Chef Masters. Warning: Spoilers ahead.
Episode 8 is called "Foodie Flash Mob" which conjures images of our fair chefs shuffling through the Thriller dance for their dinner. But before we can learn the meat of this week's show, the Final Four must go through a Quickfire Challenge.
The chefs are shown a line dividing the kitchen space between the hot line and the pantry area. Host Curtis Stone explains that they'll divide into teams of two in order to prepare two dishes -- but the chefs will have to decide who stays on which side of the line on the ground. Chris Cosentino and mentor Patricia Yeo are thrilled to draw matching knives and work together, while Lorena Garcia groans at the possibility of having to work with Kerry Heffernan again; they have been a terrible, un-teamlike team in the past.
Cosentino chooses the hot line and Yeo the pantry, and the two get moving efficiently. Cosentino explains in an interview that he and Yeo are still very close and when they worked together in the past, they developed their own language in the kitchen. It's cool to watch them finish each other's sentences.
"I'm going to give you some soba noodles," Yeo says.
"Want me to blanch them?" Cosentino asks.
Cool, calm, and collected, their exchanges makes us yearn for a cooking partner with that kind of culinary telepathy.
Las Vegas oddsmaker Johnny Avello comes in to judge the Quickfire dishes, which is admittedly a big letdown from previous Quickfire judges like Sugar Ray Leonard, the B-52s, and Dita Von Teese, but perhaps the producers were running out of celebrity contacts.
Avello doesn't like the fattiness of Cosentino's berber-style duck with dates, mint, and pine nuts. "Maybe the presentation with the fat on top is not what we'd like to see," Avello says, "but the non-fatty meat is very good."
"They don't like fat on their duck," Cosentino says later. "So we learn." Do people generally like fat on their duck?
The fat gets in the way of a Quickfire victory, which ends up going to a frozen dinner-looking farfalle from Heffernan. So we learn that the oddsmaker likes Lean Cuisine.
Now, we learn what the Foodie Flash Mob is about for the Elimination Challenge: Diner en Blanc, a spontaneous and sometimes illegal white dinner party that was created 23 years ago in France (and actually makes the concept a proto-flash mob, really). The chefs are told they need to create three dishes for a picnic, with the rub being that they'll have to box the food up and refrigerate it for eight hours until the next day, when they'll serve it all to the guests -- cold.
Back at Whole Foods to shop for supplies, Cosentino heads straight for the meat counter and asks for the offal -- chicken livers, to be specific. He decides he's going to make a chicken liver and pork pâté as one of his dishes, but once he's back in the kitchen he's second-guessing himself. If there's any trouble with the ovens, the dish could be really risky.
Luckily, the dish has actually improved with the time to set and chill, which he discovers the next day. Others have not fared so well; they peer sadly into their boxes.
An army of upscale diners in white practically march in formation onto a patio at the Venetian. White tables, tablecloths, flowers, and assorted flair are constructed in what looks like seconds.
"God, I hope this food tastes as good as it looks," judge Ruth Reichl says as she looks at Cosentino's offerings. She takes a bite. "You know, this is a terrine that has all the parts of the pig in it, but the person who won't eat liver would eat this."
Robin Leach, the erstwhile host of '80s TV series Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous is randomly there, asking for more wine.
At the judges' table, Yeo and Garcia are being savaged for their meals, which didn't hold up to being served cold, but Cosentino and Heffernan are told by Stone that they both did "an unbelievable job." Cosentino wins the Elimination Challenge, earning another $10,000 for his charity of choice, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
The victory is bittersweet, though, because his close friend Yeo is ultimately sent packing. While sad, it at least will remove the anxiety that could arise if the student had to go head to head with the teacher. Garcia and Heffernan are no match for our hero, and while it's still too early to call victory, the chances are looking great.
Next week: The chefs are given young culinary students to curse out and manipulate. This is getting good.
