Palmer,MA R-100 weekend pics.
Last weekend we spent the weekend camping at the R-100 in Palmer Ma. It was Jen and I. Jared (Murphy617) and his Gf Melissa. His friend Tom. Craig and his gf Jen, and Steve. All members of Algonquin Archers. A whole weekend of hanging out with friends, drinking cold beer, eating food, relaxing by the fire, and shooting. It can't get much better!!!!
Friday night we all roled into camp and got set up. Cracked some beers and relaxed by the fire.
L-R Craig, Jen, Steve, and Me....
Me and Steve about to fall asleep by the fire...
Me feeding the fire...
Craig and Jen...
Saturday morning we got an early start, but there was a huge backlog on the Safari side. It took us almost 7 hours to shoot 50 targets. It was definitely fun though. We had a group of Ct people behind us, so we had local people to chat with all day.

Saturday night we were all smoked!!! we cooked up some burgers and dogs, and Kielbasa, and I had Venison Chili, and steaks. With all the food, and a few cold ones, none of us lasted very long. I must be getting old...lol

Jen and I...
Saturday night around midnight it started to rain, and boy did it ever rain!!! It didn't stop till about 9:30 Sunday morning. We ended up going out to breakfast. If you are ever in the Palmer Ma. area, check out Girly's Grille!! Their breakfast was killer. The portions were huge, and the staff...well.... look at the name of the resturant...lol. The service was top notch.
We got to the club at 11, so we really had to rush through the N.A. side. Cards had to be in at 2:15. We didn't get any pics because we rushed through. The North american side was set up on Necamanseks public 3d course. This has to be the absolute best terrain I have ever shot. I will definitely take the 2 hour drive to shoot one of this clubs regular shoots. We got done at 3, and they barely accepted out cards. I heard at least 50 shooters got booted from the course before they finished. Thats BS!!! I can see having a cut off for starting the course, but once you are on the course you have no control over the speed of the crowd. Plus the morning rain didn't help.
All in all I had an awesome time. I shot like poo, as did most of us. The course was a lot harder then last years Vt R-100. Good friend, Good food, cold beer, and a relaxing weekend more then made up for the our shooting woes.
Everybody went home Sunday night except for Jen and I. We wanted a night to relax. Virg(Hilltophunter) was camping within view of us. Jen and I got a rare opportunity to spend some time around the fire with him and his wife Sunday. Sunday night was the highlight of the weekend. Absolutely nothing to do!!! I truly hope Rinehart has the shoot at this club next year. Was a nice short drive.,a gorgeous campground, and a very organized club hosting the event.
Have to include a few shameless Vortex Optics plugs!!!...

I wrote this promo from 30,000 feet yesterday on my way to my first triathlon of the year. I could not stop thinking about a conversation I had earlier this week with my father-in-law and brother-in-law. Every once in a while they need to sit me down and remind me that we are SELLERS of fine wine...not COLLECTORS. My "SKU Count" for the store's Italian wines is almost DOUBLE what it was 3 years ago...OOOOOPS!
The argument of, "But guys, there has been so many great vintages lately and so many great wines to secure." did not fly as well as I had hoped. Thus this weekend's SKU BUSTING promo where I have have grabbed some of my best in-stock Italian wines that are low in inventory and have slashed them down for one weekend only. You are going to want to take a look at this list (No "dogs" here) as I am very confident that the wines combined with this 2 day only pricing is going to cause a SIGNIFICANT drop in my Italian selections.
Click here to view the entire list or simply start shopping on-line.
As with all my sales like this it is a first-come first-served basis. Do whatever it takes to lock in: Call 800.723.0241, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, go on-line or simply "Take A Drive" if you live in the area as all of these wines are IN-STOCK and ready to GO, GO, GO!
I am hoping by the time I cross the finish line at the triathlon that I have a great sense of accomplishment. Not for completing the race...but rather that I will be able to return to the office on Monday with many fewer Italian SKU's!
Happy shopping and a great weekend to all.
All my best,Andrew

Lenovo Introduces Four New Windows 8 Convertibles

IdeaTab Lynx
Lenovo unveiled its IdeaPad Yoga 11, IdeaPad Yoga 13, IdeaTab Lynx and ThinkPad Twist
Windows 8 will be here in a little over two weeks, and Lenovo is prepared to show off its new spread of devices that will run Microsoft's newest operating system.
Today, Lenovo unveiled its IdeaPad Yoga 11, IdeaPad Yoga 13, ThinkPad Twist and IdeaTab Lynx -- all
Windows 8-powered convertibles
. Lenovo is betting big that customers will want convertibles over traditional laptops or tablets, since convertibles combine the best of both worlds.
IdeaPad Yoga 11
The IdeaPad Yoga 11 is an 11.6-inch Windows RT device with a display that flips 360 degrees backwards, transforming the laptop into a tablet with a stand, if needed. Under the hood, the Yoga 11 is packing a NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, 2GB of RAM, up to 64GB of storage, a 1366x768 display resolution, a 720p webcam, two USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, a card reader, 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0.
You can pick up a Yoga 11 starting at $799. It's available in Silver Gray and Clementine Orange.
IdeaPad Yoga 13
The IdeaPad Yoga 13, like the Yoga 11, flips 360 backwards to turn the laptop into a tablet-like device. It also comes in Silver Gray and Clementine Orange, but most other specs are completely different. For starters, the Yoga 13 has a 13.3-inch display and runs Windows 8. It also has Intel Core i5 and i7 processors with Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of solid-state storage, a 1600x900 resolution, a 720p webcam, USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, a card reader, 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0.
The Yoga 13's price will start at $1,099.
ThinkPad Twist
Twist does exactly what the name indicates -- the display flips down and twists to cover the keyboard, turning the laptop into a tablet. It has a 12.5-inch display, 1366x768 resolution, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors with Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, a 720p webcam, two USB 3.0 ports, 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, Gigabit Ethernet, Mini DisplayPort, Mini HDMI port and three storage options: 320GB HDD, 500GB HDD or 128GB SDD.
The Twist starts at $849.
IdeaTab Lynx
The IdeaTab Lynx is basically a tablet with optional keyboard dock, turning the device into a laptop. The display is 11.6 inches and it features a Clover Trail-based Intel Atom Z2760 processor, 2GB of DDR2, 32GB/64GB storage options, 2 MP front-facing camera, a 1366x768 resolution, Micro USB 2.0 port, Micro HDMI port, microSD card slot, 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0.
The starting price for the Lynx is $599 for the tablet alone, but adding the keyboard dock will cost an additional $149.

Police and bank officials are warning residents in the Hardin County area of a phone scam going on in the county, as well as in Meade and Breckinridge counties.
Radcliff Police on Tuesday received several calls about it. Residents have reported receiving phone calls from scammers saying they are from The Cecilian Bank or Fort Knox Federal Credit Union and the intended victims' debit card has been deactivated. The scammers say account information and PINs are needed to re-activate the account.
Elizabethtown Police spokesman Virgil Willoughby received a cellphone call from an automated operator "499" that informed him his Cecilian Bank card was suspended. Willoughby said he doesn't have an account there, so he called the bank and was notified of the scam.
Police said caller ID will show the number 499. Police and bank officials encourage residents not to give out any account information and to notify their nearest bank branch or police.

By Paul Abelson
Whether it happens in the yard at 3 mph or going down a mountain pass at 60 mph, the feeling of panic when your brakes fail is immediate and often overwhelming.
Fortunately, complete brake failure is rare. Most drivers go through their entire careers without experiencing it, although I'd be willing to bet that just as many have firsthand knowledge of brake fade.
Brake fade occurs when the drum heats up from excessive friction and expands. Organic materials in the brake friction linings vaporize, filling the void between drum and lining with gases. The gases reduce friction between drum and lining. When this happens as you're going downhill, your only option may be to use an escape ramp or hope there are no deep ditches along the roadside.
Disc brakes, now standard on most light- and medium-duty trucks, overcome this by providing a ready path for the volatiles to escape as the calipers clamp harder. Unlike brake drums that expand away from the linings, discs actually expand into the calipers, forcing out the gases.
To avoid brake fade, let your engine or retarder do the braking for you. A good Jake Brake, or other compression brake, that's well set up and maintained on your diesel engine can generate about as much retarding horsepower as the engine develops regular horsepower. Having one can be a lifesaver. Many medium-duty trucks use exhaust brakes that increase back pressure.
I remember going down a long, 3% grade with just a few pounds shy of 80,000 behind me. With no application of the brake pedal, the Jake held truck speed constant for a mile and a half. Gearing is still important; stay in the right gear as you go over the crest. Unless you have an automated or automatic transmission, don't shift gears if you're picking up speed downhill. Stab the brakes hard to snub your speed, and then back off to let the brakes cool. Don't ride the pedal, or you'll soon run out of brakes completely.
Even braking force on all wheels is also necessary for safe operations. If one brake is too tight, it will grab first. More often, though, one or two brakes are too loose and won't do their fair share of work. That puts extra strain on the others, causing them to fade prematurely. Keep brakes in balance by adjusting them within ¼ inch or less of each other.
When something breaks, if you'll pardon the pun, it usually happens to only one brake at a time. That leaves you five others if you're bobtailing and four more if you're pulling a trailer. It's rare that something will happen to the entire system as long as you do your pre-trip inspections and regular maintenance using quality parts.
Look for cracks. When individual brakes fail, it's probably due to cracked drums, worn or cracked linings, or broken shoes. Cracks in excess of 1/16 inch across the face of a brake shoe will put a vehicle out of service. So will missing portions that leave rivets exposed, or cracks of any size that extend all the way across the face.
Beware of counterfeits. Counterfeit parts have been a problem for as long as I've been in the industry. They appear most often in high-volume, frequently used parts like seals, lines, and brake linings. Jobbers think they're helping customers by offering low-price replacement parts from outside their traditional supply sources. More often than not, these are imported counterfeits that wear out quickly and may not perform safely.
Keep air brakes dry. When the days are warm and overnight temperatures drop, condensation becomes a problem. Compressed air has lots of moisture, which can condense in the air storage tanks. They must be drained regularly.
Water is incompressible and takes up the volume needed for air storage. Water in your air tanks means you may not have enough air available for more than a few applications. That's why it's important to yank those lanyards after every trip.
Don't wait for your morning pre-trip. In cold weather, the water could freeze in the tanks and crack valves, making brakes inoperative. Get the water out after each shift. Use desiccant cartridges and make sure they function.
Within the decade, we'll probably have electronics to apply air evenly to all brakes, and we may even have electric braking. But that will rely on rewriting some current regulations. Until then, we'll have to rely on our air brakes and periodic maintenance to prevent brake failure.
Most importantly, use your brakes wisely. Get into that lower gear before you descend the hill. If in doubt, stay in gear. If all else fails, turn the key and shut off the engine, and cross your fingers.

Hey everyone,
I came across a listing for a near new Super Vinci max-4 and on the edge of pulling the trigger. Has anyone purchased a non-local gun from a seller?
I believe I am asking him all the right questions including obtaining the serial number for date made and also to check for background information. I will have a bill of sale and Driver's license in the transaction but wanted some feedback either positive or negative for this type of deal.
Any other items suggested involving a long distance deal? Thanks everyone

Kutil v. Blake
Our Sponsors
Case Summary
In November 2008, the Circuit Court of Fayette County ordered that a one-year-old child be removed from the only home she had known so that she could be placed in a "traditional home" with a mother and father. The West Virginia Supreme Court prevented that order from taking effect (also in November 2008) and set the case for hearing on March 11, 2009. We filed our amicus brief on February 19. The Court unanimously ruled on June 5 that the child should remain with the foster parents.
This case is an example of a thriving child potentially being taken from her loving LGBT home. Lambda Legal strives to ensure that the bedrock principle of family law — that the best interests of the child is paramount — has no LGBT or HIV exception. This case also illustrates a familiar scenario of LGBT parents taking in children with special needs and providing them with loving homes in which those children thrive.
Lambda Legal's Impact
Fair treatment of LGBT parents not only serves the goal of equality but also promotes the welfare of children by ensuring that decisions about their care are not based on the sexual orientation of their parents. Here, the West Virginia Supreme Court made clear that a trial judge should apply the best interest of the child standard to all foster parents and not invent any rule that would break parent-child bonds unnecessarily.
- November 2008 Circuit Court of Fayette County orders that a one-year-old child be removed from the only family she has ever known, in order to be placed in a "traditional home" with a mother and father.
- November 2008 West Virginia Supreme Court prevents order from taking effect and sets the case for a March hearing.
- February 2009 Lambda Legal files amicus brief.
- June 2009 Victory! Court unanimously rules that the child should remain with her foster parents.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers

Hungary caterpillar stamps. Had 2 small holes in them. Beautiful.
Having once been a stamp collector in my recent past, I learned about the practice of using older stamps as regular postage on today's mail. Since then, nearly 80% of the mail that I send out I do so with stamps that are even older than I. I'll try to explain:
For the most part, US Stamps and stamp collecting has not been an "investment" vehicle since they fell out of favor in the 70s and early 80s. The collector value of most stamps just has remained pretty stagnant, and maybe even has decreased a bit because of lack of demand for various reasons. As a result, stocks and stocks of complete sheets of unused stamps (30 - 50 stamps per sheet, often) have been traded around at a small percentage _below_ face value. And you can often buy these from established stamp dealers at their face value and use them just as you would use a stamp made yesterday. Most of these will be from the period of the 1960s - 1980s timeframe, however, I have purchased some from the 30s and 40s as well!
Since learning about this, I always keep a stash of these things around and use them on most all of my mail needs. I've got a slew of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 cents stamps. Harder to keep on hand are the "larger denominations" like 18, 20, 25, 27 cent stamps. It is fun to pick out commemoratives that match some interest of whomever I'm sending the letter or postcard to--there are so many to choose from. And sometimes I just like to fill a letter with nothing but 3 and 4 cent stamps to essentially make a piece of mail art. ;-) Of course, this is all legal stuff so long as you have sufficient postage for each piece of mail being sent. See examples in image below.
So check your town and see if there is still a stamp or coin dealer and give them a call. Ask them if they sell older stamps "for postage." The two places that I've been getting them, Independence Coin & Stamp in Charlotte, NC and Richard's Stamp Shop in Asheville, NC both have a rubbermaid-like plastic tub full that you can sort through and pick out a whole pile of them. And if you are picking out lots of smaller denominations, you can quickly build a massive pile for $10.
If you can't find a true coin or stamp shop in your area, check our for coin/stamp shows or conventions that may be happening hear you. Often the stamp dealers will also bring their "postage stamps" with them for people to dig through--lots of collectors fill out their stamp albums with these things since they are so cheap.
If you are interested and are still having a hard time locating anything, send me a message and maybe we can work out a trade. I'll be happy to pick up some for fellow zinsters.
I just wanted to post and show off the wicked vintage stamps Blake sent me as a trade for a couple of zines. I specifically requested "as old as possible", or something along those lines, and got this fantastic stack of beautiful stamps. I can't use them, because I'm in Canada, but I was planning to send them out with my zines to people in the states. There are also a couple of closeup pictures in my album if you're interested. These are definitely the best stamps I've ever seen. :)
nice stamps and easy to get...just google Linn's and go to classified...it's called 'mint postage' and is usually sold for 'face value' (the amt. on each stamp) or 90-95% of face value...i buy mint postage in $50 & & $100 lots receiving a 3 cent to 39 cent variety. My stamp dealer is in Weed, CA (see Linn's classified)...also easy to get at your local stamp shows (just google 'stamp shows'.
my friend, jacinta bunnell, has stamps of her face! and they're real stamps, real postage!
How did she get those?

Happy Trails
Hey, what's the Hamburger Helper guy doing in ... oh. Sorry. My mistake.
From the very first day back in May, the world of Michelle, Tim, Olivia, Ella and Jake was- well, something clearly different. And for the past few months, we've tried to deliver you something worthwhile. We hope you agreed with us, and we hope you've had fun getting to this point today.
But all families grow and change, and ours here is no different. Today they go off in a different path, to live their lives their own way. Today we say goodbye to Michelle and Tim's family in our daily writeups, and we hope you'll miss them as much as we will.
That isn't to say they're gone forever. Fans can expect them to pop up again from time to time, like seeing an old friend's car suddenly turning into the driveway. But we wanted to make it clear: we'll be returning to our old-style themeless writeups later this week, and this exciting experiment is, for now, over.
Thanks to everyone who kept up, enjoyed, commented or referenced us and what we were doing. Ultimately, you're the people we want to entertain, and you're the people who matter to us the most.
And like Michelle said … "Anything's possible. Who knows?"

Mikel Arteta has challenged himself to make his mark in the Champions League this season.
The Spanish midfielder made a brief appearance in the competition for Everton in 2005 and cited the chance to play among Europe's elite as a major factor in his decision to swap Goodison Park for Emirates Stadium last month.
Arteta got another taste of the Champions League in Dortmund a fortnight ago and cannot wait for his first European night in north London.
"Playing Champions League football is one of my biggest challenges," said the midfielder.
"It is hard to explain what it is about the Champions League, the atmosphere is different and you are playing against the best teams in Europe every time. All players want to win the Champions League, and I am no different.
"Everybody says the atmosphere at the Emirates is really nice for the games in the Champions League. Hopefully it is going to be like that on Wednesday, and we can give something good for the fans to support us.
"We have a great opportunity to go through the group stages, and a great chance to win tomorrow after a good result in Dortmund. Everyone is really focused, determined and ambitious because it is a great chance for us to do well in Europe."
Arteta admits that the pressure is greater at Arsenal than it was for him at Everton. But he likes it that way.
"You expect pressure," he said. "A club like Arsenal has to be in that situation [at the top in the Premier League and Champions League]. If they are not, it means people are not expecting big enough things.
"That [pressure] is what we all want, hopefully it will stay like that and we can respond to it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Annual Report 2011-2012
California's State Board of Equalization (BOE) collects taxes and fees that provide approximately 33 percent of the annual revenue for state government and essential funding for counties, cities, and special districts. In fiscal year 2011-12, the BOE-administered taxes and fees produced $52.5 billion for education, public safety, transportation, housing, health services, social services, and natural resource management.
The BOE administers the state's sales and use, fuel, alcohol, tobacco, and other taxes and collects fees that fund specific state programs. More than one million businesses are registered with the agency.
In addition to administering key revenue programs, the BOE plays a significant role in California property tax assessment and administration. It also acts as the appellate body for corporate franchise and personal income tax appeals.
In 1879, a constitutional amendment created the BOE and charged it with the responsibility for ensuring statewide equality and uniformity in county property tax assessment practices. As the state's need for revenues to support programs, infrastructure, and services grew, the agency assumed a broader role.
In 1911, a voter-approved constitutional amendment directed the BOE to levy four new taxes, including insurance and corporate franchise taxes. In 1933, the Great Depression caused a tremendous drop in property tax revenues, which in turn led to the most significant change in the BOE's duties—the creation of the sales tax. Shortly afterward, in 1935, the use tax was established to protect California businesses from tax-free, out-of-state competition. Since that time, the BOE has been given the responsibility for administering a number of additional business and property taxes and fees. More details of the BOE history are found in the Appendix.

Meetings are held throughout the year, usually two to three weeks apart. The Board meets monthly in Sacramento and as necessary, in other California cities. In 2011-12, the Board met in Sacramento and Culver City.
The Board also holds Taxpayers' Bill of Rights hearings each year that allow taxpayers to make comments and suggestions regarding BOE-administered laws and programs. For information regarding the 2011-12 hearings and related agency actions, please see the Meeting Taxpayer Needs chapter.
Board Members
Betty T. Yee represents the First Equalization District and its 21 counties in northern and central California, including the entire San Francisco Bay Area. Ms. Yee has over 28 years of experience in public service, specializing in state and local finance. Ms. Yee previously served as Chief Deputy Director for Budget with the California Department of Finance where she led the development of the Governor's Budget, negotiations with the Legislature and key budget stakeholders, and fiscal analyses of legislation on behalf of the Administration.
Prior to this, she served in senior staff positions for several fiscal and policy committees in both houses of the California State Legislature. A native of San Francisco, Ms. Yee received her bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley, and her master's degree in Public Administration from Golden Gate University, San Francisco.
George Runner, elected in November 2010, represents the State Board of Equalization's Second District. He is a leading advocate for California taxpayers. During his time on the Board, Runner has worked to improve California's tax policies and practices. He led a successful effort to reform a controversial use tax collection program known as the Qualified Purchasers Program. He is an outspoken critic of the confusing and controversial Fire Prevention Fee. Prior to his election to the Board, Runner served twelve years in the State Legislature, authoring the well-known California Amber Alert and California's Blue Alert.
Runner and his wife, Senator Sharon Runner, are the first husband and wife in California history to have served concurrently in the Legislature. They are the authors of Jessica's Law, a ballot initiative approved by more than 70 percent of California voters in November 2006. Runner served on the Lancaster City Council, including two years as mayor. In 1976, the Runners founded Desert Christian Schools, which is now one of the largest private schools in California.
Michelle Steel, California's senior-ranking Republican constitutional officer, represents California's Third Equalization District. In just her first year on the job, Steel quickly distinguished herself as the state's leading tax fighter. In 2007, Steel discovered the BOE had delayed the return of millions of dollars in security deposits owed to California businesses. Procedures were changed due to Steel's decisive leadership.
Following her investigation, the tax agency refunded tax security deposits to over 5,500 small businesses. To date, over $100 million in security deposits have been returned to taxpayers. In 2008, Steel successfully led the fight against a new iTax, a $500 million tax on digital downloads. In 2010, Steel successfully championed legislation to protect taxpayers from excessive interest payments when they accidentally file taxes just one day late.
Steel's experience includes service on the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, the White House Conference on Aging, California's World Trade Commission, Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, and Los Angeles Airport and Fire Commissions.
Steel, a Pepperdine University business graduate, has an Executive MBA from the University of Southern California and lives in Surfside, California with her husband, Shawn.
Jerome E. Horton was overwhelmingly elected to the California State Board of Equalization on November 2, 2010, after being appointed to the Board by Governor Schwarzenegger and confirmed by the California State Legislature in 2009.
Since then, he has focused on several government efficiency initiatives designed to minimize the tax burden for California taxpayers and enhance the agency's ability to accelerate the resolution of disputes. Mr. Horton draws on 35 years of public service experience, which includes 21 years with the Board of Equalization, serving as the Legislative Director to Board Member Claude Parrish, and Business Tax Supervisor, District Reviewer, and Senior Auditor in the District Office. In addition, Mr. Horton served three terms in the State Assembly, and several terms on the Workforce Investment Board, Cultural Endowment Board, as a Medical Board Commissioner, and as a member of the Inglewood City Council. In private practice, Mr. Horton was a government relations consultant and served as a financial advisor and realtor. Chairman Horton is known as a visionary and pragmatic problem solver with a heart for California taxpayers. He received his B. S. Degree in Finance and Accounting from California State University, Dominguez Hills.
He is married to the Honorable Yvonne Horton, City Clerk of the City of Inglewood. Together, they have two children, Myeshia and Matthew, and one granddaughter, Sahara.
John Chiang, a Member of the Board since 1997, was elected to the position of State Controller in November 2006 and re-elected in 2010. As Controller, he continues to serve the Board as its fifth voting Member. John Chiang has long championed financial literacy, and uses his position to empower working families. Through seminars and free tax preparation assistance, Chiang educates low- and middle-income Californians about taking advantage of tax credits and refunds they have earned. Before serving as Controller, Chiang represented most of Los Angeles County on the Board.
First elected in 1998, then re-elected in 2002, he was recognized by many groups for outstanding public service at the BOE. He sponsored more successful legislative proposals during his tenure than any other Member in the BOE's 134-year history.
Now the state's Chief Fiscal Officer, Chiang chairs the Franchise Tax Board and serves on numerous other boards and commissions including the boards of the nation's two largest public pension funds. Chiang graduated with honors from the University of South Florida with a degree in Finance, and received his law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center.

Laptops continue their steady progress towards dominating the PC market, but in many ways haven't changed too much from their counterparts a year ago. The most influential and exciting launch in 2010 was probably that of the Intel Mobile Core i3 and i5. These brought the newer architecture to a budget price point, where before the high-end Core i7 - initially only found in expensive gaming-oriented laptops such as the Toshiba Qosmio X500-10T - reigned alone.
Unfortunately, AMD is still not a strong player in performance mobile CPUs, though its Athlon II Neo CPU (beating at the heart of the Dell Inspiron M101z, for one) is doing a good job in the netbook and ultra-portable notebook segment.
Speaking of gaming, graphics is probably where the biggest breakthrough this year has occurred, with powerful DirectX 11 solutions finally making their way into the mobile sector. The AMD Mobility Radeon HD5870, which we first came across in the Asus G73Jh, finally allows you to play a decent game of Crysis at an acceptable resolution - a first for a single-card solution. On Nvidia's side, meanwhile, there's now the DirectX 11 GeForce GTX 480M, which also enables you to run the latest games at something approaching their best.
On the general graphics front Optimus is also becoming more popular, as we recently saw in the MacBook Pro. It provides power when you need it and longer battery life when you don't, and it (or an equivalent) is the way we hope all laptops will go eventually.
Unfortunately, we're not seeing the same progress with storage: while many (high-end) desktop PCs now come with SSDs, in laptops these are still very much the exception rather than the rule. Admittedly this is largely because space limitations mean you can't usually install an SSD for a main drive with a secondary 2.5in hard drive for storage, but we wonder how many people would be willing to sacrifice space for speed.
Connectivity will likely be the next biggest evolution, with USB 3.0 already starting to make its way into some of the newer laptops and netbooks. We can only hope it will replace USB 2.0 across the board.
Probably the most original development in laptops this year was the long-awaited introduction of non-X86 compatible hardware, but unfortunately one of the more promising examples, the Toshiba AC100, failed to really impress. It will be interesting to see how, if at all, the increasing popularity of tablets and netbooks affects the laptop market.

Five players are currently away from Arsenal on loan with three
of them - Jay
Kieran Gibbs and
Mark Randall - still on British soil. Striker
Simpson has extended his spell at League One
outfit Millwall, while Gibbs and Randall will be at
Championship sides Norwich City and Burnley respectively. On
the continent, promising Mexican striker
Carlos Vela will play his football in Spain with La Liga side
Osasuna, with talented 17-year-old
Fran Merida at Real Sociedad in Spain's second tier.
Keep up-to-date with the fortunes of all our loan stars in our regular Loan Watch.
Carlos Vela
Osasuna 1-0 Real Zaragoza, February 10
After his midweek excursion to the Americas, Carlos Vela was withdrawn on 62 minutes as Osasuna bounced back from last weekend's heart-breaking defeat against Barcelona with a win over fellow strugglers Real Zaragoza. Czech Republic international Jaroslav Plasil notched the only goal of the game in first-half stoppage-time. Vela was a nuisance to the visitors defence but with fatigue setting in the young Gunner made way. The win pulls Osasuna to 15th in the La Liga, just three points behind their opponents who sit 10th.
Mark Randall
Burnley 1-1 Colchester United, February 9
A substitute appearance on 73 minutes by Mark Randall couldn't lift Burnley as they failed to overcome bottom-of-the-table Colchester. Veteran Andy Cole marked his Clarets' debut with a goal midway through the opening period but Johnnie Jackson's deflected free-kick seven minutes before the interval ensured a share of the spoils for the U's.
Fran Merida
Real Sociedad 1-1 El Ejido, February 9
Fran Merida was given a late run-out for Real Sociedad as they overcame El Ejido thanks to a goal from Diaz de Cerio shortly before the hour. Arsenal's young midfielder came off the bench in stoppage time as his new club moved up to fourth in Spain's second-tier.
Jay Simpson
Nottingham Forest 2-0 Millwall, February 9
Millwall slumped to a second successive defeat as high-flying Nottingham Forest capitalised on a poor Lions display. Jay Simpson played throughout but, with the visitors failing to assert any influence on the game, the Arsenal youngster struggled. Forest full-backs Julian Bennet and Luke Chambers were the men to register within 15 minutes of the restart to leave Millwall languishing in the drop zone.
Kieran Gibbs
Cardiff 1-2 Norwich, February 9
Kieran Gibbs is yet to be used by Norwich since joining the Canaries on the final day of the transfer window. Currently enjoying a massive up-turn in results, Glenn Roeder's team added Cardiff to their list of scalps thanks to Ched Evans' 88th-minute winner. The on-loan Manchester City player had given the visitors the lead 15 minutes in but Gavin Rae hauled Dave Jones' men level just before the interval. The winner was just desserts for Norwich as they climb to 13th in the Championship, four points adrift of the play-offs.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
My dog were taught to ignore other dogs and that's what they do. They can go anywhere with me and they know how to behave around other dogs. I take "zero" risk with other people and what they my or my not know about there dog. My dogs have never been attacked and I don't need to deal with behavioural issues caused by bad dog park encounters!
Dog park stuff can be found here:
|Well all of my dogs have been raised in dog parks and they all get along with other dogs very well, so as anecdotal evidence, I would have to say no.
|Benny Boo's Mommy
|We take our GSD to the dog park every day because we live in an urban environment (and no back yard). He's a rescue from the local animal control (the pound). We feel like the dog park has been a wonderful resource for him; however, he was already 9 months old when we got him so perhaps it was not as scary for him as he wasn't really young. He's had a few negative interactions (and one vet visit bc another dog bit him). But I feel like for the most part, it's been a great experience. He is super good with all sizes of dogs because of his socialization at the dog park.
|Our dogs also tend to be pit mixes, so you may definitely have a point. Another thing I consider is that living at the shelter itself could contribute. Of course the dogs are housed separately, and at ours, we have solid walls between them, but still they are hearing, smelling and seeing the other dogs, with the barrier between, which could be frustrating. From our own personal experience with our own dogs, though, I still really believe that dog parks strongly contributed to their issues. However, I am sure a lot of it was our reaction to events at the dog park, as well as our lack of experience and knowledge when we started taking them there.

I don't know what the shelter population is like in your area, but in Philly, most of the shelter dogs are pit bulls or pittie mixes, and not infrequently they come from breeders who are intentionally trying to select for dog aggression (because they're trying to breed fighting dogs and/or just conflate all types of aggression and think it makes for a better guard dog, more macho displays on the street, or whatever).
That has an influence on the shelter population, especially over time as responsible owners spay/neuter their dogs and the shelter population tilts ever more toward what the least responsible segment of the city's dog owners are doing.
It has absolutely nothing to do with dog parks. I wouldn't be surprised if there's been an increase in Philly's dog park usage over the same time period, but it's a completely separate trend driven mostly by gentrifying yuppies and hipsters, and it has no connection to the increased rates of dog-dog aggression. The dog-park dogs aren't breeding and mostly aren't getting dumped at the shelters. The trend is completely coincidental.
I don't think there's any way of proving your theory. Many times I've seen the dog park used as an excuse for poor genetics. People always look for a "reason" that the dog is the way it is and always try to put the blame on someone else. Many times, they think they did all they could in finding a good breeder, so it can't be genetics…it has to be an experience in the dog's life at some point. Most people still really believe that it's all about how you raise a dog that makes it the way it is…and they don't believe that genetics plays a role in that. I've personally seen how much greater the genetics are as a piece of that puzzle than the raising, and how a dog will revert back to its genetics when its finally allowed to, so I don't ever believe that a terrible incident at a dog park will cause unreversable fear/dog aggression.
My dog was attacked as a puppy by a neighbor's dog. He got bit on the face pretty bad, no issues with other dogs to this day. He wanted to play with that other dog the very next day. He would get rolled/dominated at dog parks when he was younger. Has no issues going to a dog park today, except that now he is the dominant one that would do all the rolling…so we don't go because I've learned how big of an affect that can have on a weaker nerved dog.
I think what you see is that in shelters, many times you have mixed breeds. Mixed breeds who's genetics don't line up. I know the most popular mix around her is a lab/pit. So you're talking the calmer/weaker nerve of the lab, mixed with the aggression of a terrier. Just not a good mix.
|I believe it and I believe that I caused my dog's issues (or let them surface) by letting dogs rough him up at the park
possible effects of dog parks on shelter dogs
My husband and I volunteer frequently at our local shelter. We are currently seeing A LOT of dogs come in that cannot be around other dogs. This is bad because those dogs sit in the shelter long-term, as most people these days either are looking for a second dog or hope to have a second dog some day. Also, I find that almost everyone wants a dog they can take to the dog park.
Two of the dogs who belong to us, Heidi, and my husband's lab, are dog aggressive and we have a theory that their problems were caused by taking them to the dog park when they were young. We learned our lesson before getting our other lab, Cori, and she doesn't have a problem with dogs. Now I am wondering if the shelter dogs' dog aggression issues also may have originated with dog parks. Most of them were dropped off at the shelter as adults and we don't have a detailed history. Not to start another thread about the benefits/evils of dog parks, but does anyone else suspect that much of the dog-on-dog aggression today could be traced back to this? It is very sad for the rescue dogs.

He sat hunched over in the locker room, exhausted after one half of basketball and one week of the flu, and told his assistant coach he was not sure he could make it back onto the court.
As with everything about the game they both love, the coach resisted the urge to push the player to a decision. In the end, however, Dalton Nixon made another choice that made his father proud.
As father and son, Kevin and Dalton Nixon have formed a bond over basketball. And as coach and player both wearing the blue and gold of Orem High, that bond has become even stronger.
"There aren't a lot of dads out there that can say they've been to every single one of their son's basketball practices and games," the elder Nixon said. "To be able to be behind the scenes, in the locker room, and share what I know with him every day is just special."
Kevin Nixon was raised in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he grew tall, with a basketball in his hands. He played college ball at Northwestern and Utah Valley before settling in at BYU in the early 1990s. He met his wife, Stephanie, a former Division I player herself, and they had three children.
It would have been easy for the parents to force the boy into the gym, but Kevin wanted his son to decide for himself whether he would play.
"He was more into other things than sports when he was really little," the father said. "He's my only son, but I told myself I wasn't going to push him into basketball."
But even as a child, Dalton heard stories of his father's playing days. Family and friends talking about Cougar blue and three-quarter-court heaves to win conference championships.
"I just grew up and heard everyone talking. 'Your dad was such a great player. Are you going to BYU someday?' " said Dalton, who is a junior. "I never really understood all of what was going on until, like, sixth grade and I started playing competitive basketball. That's when I made a goal to play Division I basketball."
Kevin remembers the moment. They were in the Marriott Center in Provo after watching a BYU practice. They were walking down a hall to an elevator, and Dalton said he was going to play there someday.
"It was almost like a switch flipped for him," Kevin said.
The Nixons spent countless hours after that helping their son develop: Dalton and his father in a church gym working on ball-handling, Dalton in his driveway firing up thousands of shots while his mother rebounded.
And while his game grew, so did his body. He shot up 4 inches between eighth and ninth grade and then more after that. He's 6-foot-7 now and, at just 16 years old, still might outgrow his 6-9 father.
Colleges came calling early in Dalton's high school career, and once again, Kevin tried not to influence his son's decision.
"I knew they'd support me wherever I went," Dalton said. "It just happens to be that BYU was the right place for me."
Kevin admires the player his son has become. "He's the kind of kid who wants to get better, and he does everything he can to get better."
They've talked about what it will be like at Dalton's first game in Provo, and what it would mean to share another midcourt embrace after a state championship victory. These are the conversations they have on dark drives home after practices and games. These are the reasons why Dalton said he's chosen to play.
On Friday night in a crowded gym in Springville, Dalton made his way back to the bench, his eyes bloodshot, his body weak and his team moments away from another win. Kevin was waiting on the bench to give his player a pat on the back, and the satisfied look of a father who had just watched his son give his all.

Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- In its final tune-up before opening the regular-season on the road at Xavier next Tuesday night, the Tennessee basketball team posted a 78-47 victory over Division II power Southern Indiana on Thursday night before 14,034 at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Vols were led by senior guard Jordan McRae, who tallied a game-high 15 points and seven rebounds. He was joined in double-figures by juniors Josh Richardson (12 points) and Jarnell Stokes (11 points).
Freshman Robert Hubbs III added nine points. Four Vols grabbed seven rebounds: McRae, Stokes, Jeronne Maymon and Rawane Ndiaye.
Tennessee's 'Tougher Breed' mantra of head coach Cuonzo Martin was on display as the Vols limited the Screaming Eagles to 35.1 shooting from the floor for the game including 35.7 percent in the first half. The Vols out rebounded USI, 56-37.
No Southern Indiana player scored in double-figures as Aaron Nelson was the team's top scorer with nine points.
USI was held without a 3-point field goal, going 0-of-11 from beyond the arc.
The Vols raced out to a 20-5 lead in the game's first eight minutes and never looked back. Tennessee led by as many as 17 points in the first half, building a 37-20 lead on a 3-pointer by Hubbs with 2:31 left in the first half.
As Tennessee took a 40-27 lead at halftime, the Vols kept USI without a first-half 3-point field goal and dominated the glass 31-19.
In the second half, the lead expanded to as much as 33 points.
McRae's posterizing slam dunk put the Vols ahead by 20 for the first time at 49-29, just three minutes in the second half. The lead ballooned to 30 at 73-43 on a pair of free throws by the JUCO transfer Ndiaye with six minutes left.
Southern Indiana lost to #24 Indiana, 83-68, last week.
Tennessee was again without senior-transfer point guard Antonio Barton, who missed his second preseason contest with a leg injury.
Tennessee opens its third regular-season under Cuonzo Martin on Tuesday, Nov. 12 against Xavier at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati. The game tips off at 9 p.m. ET and airs on Fox Sports 1 and can be heard on the Vol Network.

The Tar Heels celebrated National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Sunday with an event that exposed hundreds of kids to a wide variety of sports and activities in an effort to promote healthy lifestyles. Two UNC student-athletes, senior softball player Megan Morrison and sophomore volleyball player Chaniel Nelson, led the committee that organized what is set to become an annual event.
"The event was amazing!" said Cricket Lane, UNC's Assistant Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Development. "Everyone enjoyed themselves, from the participants to the student-athletes. Megan, Chaniel and Jenn Townsend, Associate Director of our Academic Support Program, worked so hard to make sure the event was flawless. I cannot wait for next year - our goal is to make it bigger and better."
The 90-minute event drew more than 200 kids and included representatives from nine of UNC's women's teams, each of which set up a station with activities related to that sport. In addition to giveaways and the opportunity to meet and interact with student-athletes, each child who pre-registered for the event received a voucher to attend the UNC-Duke women's basketball game, which tipped off at Carmichael Arena shortly after the action at Eddie Smith Field House wrapped up.
"National Girls and Women and Sport Day was a success!" Morrison said. "I saw lots of smiles on the kids' faces and they seemed to really enjoy being able interact with each other, as well as the student-athletes. Our main goal was to try to jump-start interest in participating in physical activity, and we hope that we accomplished that. We want to thank the vendors who contributed to the day's success as well all of the athletic teams who gave their time to a great cause!"

How do you convince controlling bosses to let go?
Page Tools
What is the most effective step companies can take to encourage managers to delegate more responsibility?
One of the primary ways we learn is by observing what people around us do. So if I want you to delegate more and micromanage less, then I need to reflect that in my own behaviour. The first place every manager looks to determine the most appropriate way to act is at their superiors.
How do you persuasively describe the value of delegating to a subordinate?
I dont think one "describes" the value of delegation, at least as a way of changing behaviour. The best thing to do is some form of experiential exercise in which people are shown the benefits of delegation and the costs of not doing so.
These can involve problem-solving exercises in which people learn that not accessing the expertise of others leads to worse solutions. Some of the exercises involve having people be supervised.
Believe me, telling people the benefits of delegation has no effect at all, as the failure to follow the advice of the numerous books and articles that do just that attest.
Is organisational structure a factor?
Absolutely. It affects behaviour in two ways. First, it sends signals to managers about the type of behaviour the organisation finds most acceptable.
For example, in a relatively flat organisational structure where there are few management layers and managers have broad spans of control, people understand that delegation is the norm. Second, in a very real sense, structure either facilitates or hinders delegation by the nature and strength of the boundaries it erects.
One way companies can compel increased delegation is to assign managers larger staffs and more responsibility. The larger a managers staff becomes, the less he or she will be able to micromanage them.
Is there too much focus being placed on leadership? Yes, and the problem extends beyond companies to include the business press, but thats another story. If your organisation venerates heroic leaders, then your managers are going to have a natural reluctance to delegate responsibility.
One of the ways companies encourage heroic leaders is by providing them with a host of highly visible trappings, from elegant offices and reserved parking to executive dining rooms and travel on private jets. Its frequently difficult for managers with such perks to entrust responsibility to subordinates whose trappings are significantly inferior to their own.
Organisations in which the spirit of delegating prevails tend to be those with an egalitarian culture that is manifested in such things as open office arrangements and the lack of status symbols. These help build the sense among workers that they are relatively equal.
Can recruiting be employed to encourage
This is another important step that companies can take. Hiring people who are by nature autocratic will certainly mitigate against building an organisation that values teamwork.
How do you determine a candidates management style?
Unquestionably, the most reliable predictor is past behaviour. Management style reflects a certain mindset and therefore is difficult to change. So companies should look carefully at the ways candidates have approached their responsibilities at their prior employers.
Related to past performance is the nature of the management environment in the organisations where the candidate has worked. If they fared well in an organisation thats known to be team-driven, then theyll likely be comfortable with delegating responsibilities in their new role. - Harvard Management Update

Blair & Jeff
April 28
Savannah, Georgia
From the photographer: "Jeff and Blair, reality TV stars of BRAVO's Newlyweds: The First Year, married in Savannah, Georgia at the doors of the historic and prestigious Harper Fowlkes House. They arrived in a majestic horse drawn carriage with the ceremony performed by Reverend Steve Schulte with their closest friends and family. They were transported post-ceremony to their "Southern Soiree." Guests were directed to their tables that were named after great Southern movies and treated to an elegant evening in a luxurious garden-like setting complete with chandeliers. The details including the cake were all black and white and natural greens. All enjoyed Southern style food and childhood favorites like Girl Scout Cookies and milk. Guests popped streamers and sent the happy couple on their way at the end of the night. It was a perfect send off on their adventure!" — Donna Von Bruening of Donna Von Bruening Photographers

Whether you're going for a complete bathroom redesign or simply expanding upon what you already have, bathroom furniture can make a huge difference. If you're on a budget to spruce up your current bathroom then looking at investing in a cabinet, bathroom mirror or entire unit is certainly a good idea. Not only is our range of furniture extremely cost efficient, but it's also stylish and suited to most bathroom designs. On the other hand, if you have the luxury of redesigning from scratch, you can actually style your bathroom around the furniture you want rather than trying to fit it in where space allows. This gives you far more control over the look and final outcome of the bathroom which in many cases can benefit greatly over restrictive bathroom layouts.
Bathroom furniture is a key component in any bathroom and for that reason alone quality should be a priority above everything else. All furniture on sale on the website has been vetted to ensure suitability for bathroom environments with a strong focus on moisture resistance and solid fittings. This ensures that not only will the furniture from Plumbworld feel and look well built, but it will stand the test of time and look as good as it did they day you bought it.
you want to ensure it fits and functions as you'd expect. Don't want doors to slam shut? Many of the drawers and doors in the Plumbworld range feature soft-close fittings to minimise noise, unwanted damage and simultaneously add a touch of style and elegance to your bathroom. Many other innovative features also appear in our stunning range of bathroom cabinets such as adjustable shelves, mirror tabs and much, much more to ensure your bathroom benefits from the latest and greatest options.
Not only is our range of furniture manufactured to an exceptional quality, but it's also extremely versatile; making it suitable for a whole range of bathrooms. If you're struggling for room on the floor, you can always opt for wall-hung options of cabinets and units to maximise space at a higher level. Obviously if your bathroom benefits from a lot of floor space, then you luckily have the option to take full advantage of both floor standing and wall hung ranges. You could even combine both in order to create more accessible bathroom storage for you and the family - giving you the best of both worlds. We simply provide the units, the rest is up to you!
