I have started the weathering on my custom mando. I am not really pleased with it but i guess it will work. i may have to strip the helmet and start over. What do you think.
I have started the weathering on my custom mando. I am not really pleased with it but i guess it will work. i may have to strip the helmet and start over. What do you think.
It looks like you've added the weathering topically with a spoonge. (correct me if i'm wrong)
What i would do is actually add some scrapes and add a "chipping" effect to some of the areas.
But i really like the overall colours scheme and desing of the helmet..
and considering the weathering you have done you need to dull down the helmet and add some good ol' fashioned dirt. The scrapes is kinda contradicting the shiny silver, if you know what i mean.
and for a used "look" you could use a 3M abrassive sponge VERY gentle
in the places that the scrapes are, and it will look like a smooth used surface....
Wow that is BEAUTIFUL can you wash the weathering off? The paint scheme is SOO sweet. a little elmers glue applies here and there ahen throw some sand on it helps after scraping. further more you can wope it off later if it doesn't look right. gotta get the see though elmers though.
I'm sorry, but I HATE how the mandibles are so wide and even taper. This can be fixed when you install the visor, right?
And I agree with what Boba Swede said, add some ships and scrapes. You could also dip a needle into some silver paint and do some very thin scratches.
Thanks for all the help ( good and bad ). Getting the helmet painted was the easy part. I however do not have the knowledge of how to really put the chip marks and such on the helmet so i will have to some one that has really done this well or find a good step by step instructions to do it right. I have however taken thinner and pulled off the weathering and wet sanded the bucket down. As of friday i will be repainting the Maroon color ( pics look purple ) and some of the black. The silver looks a lot better after the sanding and it has dulled down as it should be. I hope that some one can tell me where some good instructions are to weather a helmet. Thanks again and i hope the next pics will be better........
Oh by the way the mandibles are ok but have been warped out a bit durring painting and will be fine when the visor goes in.....
I would have left that bad boy unweathered.
well guys i have the helmet repainted and have found an interesting way to put some ( texture ) on the helmet without really weathering. By mistake i found that if you put the blue painters tape on the paint ( after drying ) and leave it outside in the sun for about 30 minutes and then pull it off it leaves a cool texture like many panels put together. I will try and get a good picture of this and see what you think.............

Hi all,
After my recent move, when I unpacked my hobby stuff, I discovered that the industrial strength velcro strips on my ammo belt had "slid" from where I had placed them. I need to replace them (obviously) but I need something to remove the gooey glue residue from the vinyl belt.
Anyone know of any cleaning products that will take this stuff off without dissolving/eating through the vinyl?
Thanks for any info.

Lockheed Martin's short take-off and vertical landing F-35B has
made its first flight with a key weapon system for the US Marine Corps
Flown from the US Navy's Patuxent River test site in Maryland on 22
February, test aircraft BF-2 carried a 25mm gun pod on a centreline
weapons station, in addition to two Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder
air-to-air missiles beneath its outboard wing stations.

"Significant weapons testing for the F-35B and F-35C variants is
scheduled for 2012, including fit checks, captive carriage, pit drop and
aerial drop tests," said Lockheed.
Meanwhile, Royal Air Force experimental test pilot Sqn Ldr Jim
Schofield has become the first UK pilot to fly the carrier variant
F-35C, having performed a sortie in test aircraft CF-2 from Patuxent
As of 23 February, some 1,704 flights totalling more than 2,500h had
been performed by the F-35 development and test fleet, said Lockheed.
This total includes 114 flights conducted so far during 2012, it added.
BF-2's first flight with external stores came less than a week after a
conventional take-off and landing F-35A AF-1 had also flown with two
AIM-9X missiles as part of a payload including weapons carried in the
aircraft's two internal bays.

After all, a/c have always skulked around avoiding radar, fo as long as radar has been a factor, so the stealth is just more of the same (and with advances in radar it's arguable that some of the time there really won't be a huge improvement in capability). No, the key thing is that a single pilot will have access to so much more information, so much better presented. These, with UAVs and good AEW, will be radically game changing systems, but there's the rub.
AEW and UAVs are pretty much essential if this system is going to deliver the goods, otherwise Hornets or even Rifraf would have been a better bargain. Fingers crossed we get the whole package, and not just the very sexy cherry on the top.

Decision expected by Easter on which US joint strike fighter Britain will buy: ministers now want to revert to original choice
Britain's troubled and increasingly expensive plan to equip the
navy with new aircraft carriers has been plunged into fresh turmoil as
ministers consider reversing their earlier decision to change the type
of plane that should fly from them, it has emerged.
The government
announced in last autumn's strategic defence review that it had decided
to buy the "cats and flaps" (catapults and arrester gear) version of
the US joint strike fighter. This would have a "longer range and greater
payload ... the critical requirement for precision-strike operations in
the future", the government stated.
Moreover, the government
added, it will be cheaper. It would also enable French planes to land on
British carriers, and vice versa, inkeeping with the new UK-French
defence spirit of co-operation.
Now, in an extraordinary volte-face, the Ministry of Defence
says the "cats and flaps" planes may well be cheaper but it would be
too expensive to redesign a carrier – more than £1bn – to accommodate
them. The ministry is thus faced with the prospect of renegotiating a
deal with the US, reverting to its original plan – namely buying the
short take-off and vertical landing version of the aircraft, even though
it is acknowledged to be less effective and more expensive .
latest chapter in the troubled saga of Britain's future aircraft
carriers – whose own estimated costs have soared – was raised on
Thursday in a letter to the defence secretary, Philip Hammond, from Jim
Murphy, his Labour opposite number.
Murphy referred to "worrying
suggestions" that the government was about to change its mind about the
kind of aircraft to buy from the US. "It is vital that there is now
clarity on the government's plans for this vital area of the defence
equipment programme," he wrote.
Murphy said the decision in the
defence review to scrap the Harrier fleet meant the UK would have no
carrier aircraft capability until 2020 – and then only one carrier would
be operational.
Defence officials said that the government was
"re-assessing" its earlier decision because, they indicated, of
pressures on the defence budget.
HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first
carrier, will be mothballed immediately it is launched in 2016,
according to existing plans. The second, HMS Prince of Wales, will be
able to put to sea by 2020, but it is not known how many planes will be
able to fly from it – nor what kind.
The two carriers, originally
priced at £3.5bn, are now estimated to cost £6.2bn. According to the
Commons public accounts committee, the cost is likely to icrease to as
much as £12bn.
The government, which originally said it wanted
more than 100 joint strike fighters, says that it will have just six
operational ones by 2020. The unit cost of the joint strike fighter,
made by Lockheed Martin, has soared because of production problems and
delays caused by US defence budget cuts. Britain's BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce have big stakes in a future deal adapting the joint strike fighter for British forces.
spokesperson for the MoD said: "We are currently finalising the 2012-13
budget and balancing the equipment plan. As part of this process, we
are reviewing all programmes, including elements of the carrier strike
programme, to validate costs and ensure risks are properly managed. The
defence secretary expects to announce the outcome of this process to
parliament before Easter."

Discussion in 'January 2013' started by roscoe36, Oct 29, 2012.
Daye barely played because he had 3 fouls in 4 minutes. And not one of the fouls was smart.
Nope. One was a bad call. The other two, Daye was helping out our hopeless interior D, which features CV. Note, CV also did not play in the 2nd half. Basically, a couple of decisions meant neither CV nor Daye played in the 2nd half. One, Singler back in with the subs, and 2 keeping the pair of Drummond and Monroe out their for extended minutes. The first decision, combined with the insistence of playing both Bynum and Stuckey, leaves no room for Daye. You know my opinion. Quit playing Bynum, let Stuckey throw those alley oops to Drummond. Daye is a whole lot more defensive player than Bynum is. However, in all, the fact that we did not put Bynum and CV in together in the 2nd half, I will agree with. Having two such poor defenders out there is just not manageable. Hiding one poor defender is usually doable. Which is why I can accept having CV out there with a unit of Stuckey, Singler, Daye, CV, Drummond. Just to remind you, our bench has not helped win a game since Bynum and Stuckey have been in together. Before that, it became a pretty potent bench due to the combination of Daye and CV providing outside shooting to spread the floor. Also, we have twice tried Bynum, Singler, Daye, CV, and Drummond. It has not worked, as Bynum is anything but a point guard. Sure, he can run a play now and again. But if speed were all there was to basketball, why not just hire track stars? You got to know how to play the game, and Bynum does not.
Off of the top of my head, I cant EVER remember Stuckey thowing an alley-oop pass to ANYone. ...in his entire freaking career. I'm sure he's done it but I can't picture it happening. That's a hard play to make for a guy who dribbles with his head down.
For a bad practice player (Twitter / vgoodwill: Prince on Drummond's progress: ...) Andre sure knows how to show up for the games.
I'm not sure where your hatred of Bynum comes from. He leads the team in assist percentage and has better court vision than Stuckey. He has the best rapport with Drummond of any of the guards on the team. He's shooting better from long range (.400 vs. .312) and overall (.446 vs. .385). His defensive rating (108) is approximately the same as Stuckey's (109), and he forces more steals. At the very least, he's not all that much different from Stuckey, assuming one gives Stuck the benefit of the doubt and allows that his poor shooting may have been just because of a bad start to the year. The biggest problem is that the Pistons have to put guards in positions that are not their strengths. Knight is a 2-guard in a 1's body, and Stuckey and Bynum both operate best with the ball in their hand. Bynum is the best guard on the team at finding the open player, but naturally defers to Stuckey when Rodney is on the court. Bynum is not a 2-guard, but paired with Stuckey he has to become one, and that's not his strength. The two are TERRIBLE together - we all know it, but for some reason coach keeps trying to put Bynum at the two with Stuckey running the point and it just doesn't work. When that's the case it looks like Bynum is playing poorly (to be fair, he is), but the reality is that he's miscast for that role - he's too short to be an effective spot-up shooter and can't guard the two. But when Stuckey isn't out there and Bynum is running the point, then just like you said, it was a potent bench combination because the Pistons spread the floor and Bynum had more room to operate. Note that, statistically, Stuckey runs that same unit nearly as well, but it's just not as fun to watch because Stuckey isn't lobbing dunks to Dre. As for your second comment, you're wrong on an embarrassing level; Bynum, Singler, Daye, CV, and Drummond is actually the Pistons' best 5-man unit, at +24 in 30 minutes spread out over 6 games. If you're gauging them by the -2 they had in the whopping 35 seconds they played together last night, then you need to take a look at the bigger picture.
I don't think Drummond was being used correctly in college.
My name is Cooper and I endorse this statement..
Daye played some very poor defense, that is for sure. He totally lost sight of his guy on one possession, which ended up being an uncontested layup. It's a simple concept kids learn in elementary school. Always see your man and the ball. A couple of mistakes and his body language fell as it did in 2012. Hopefully, he puts this game behind him and bounces back to his decent play as of late.
During the game they showed a clip with a non-alopecia guy who had a huge tattoo of Chaz on his arm. That is some deranged stuff. After every Bynum assist in the 1st quarter the cameras went straight to a sulking BK7. Is there any other team in the L that start three (!) guys who while playing decent minutes minutes can post a 1p/1 ass/1 reb game?
To be fair, BK could have reached double digits in TOs if Coach Frank would have played him more. I noticed the subtle camera shots of a scowling BK after a Batman/Robin alley oop. The BK dunk was pretty cool.
Good post. I agree with some of it, but disagree with other parts. Hate Bynum? Hardly. I am just looking at it objectively, no more. Stats don't always tell the story. Indeed, Bynum ran that unit, several games back, and that unit did well. But coaches adjust, and lately, that unit does not work. As you said, the same unit, with Stuckey running it, is also good. The difference? Nobody has solved it. Only our own coach has stopped it from being effective - by not playing that unit anymore. Got to go for now. Will address more of your post later.
Letting Stuckey run the point seems like it would be win, win for the Pistons. Drummond either slams home an alley oop from Rod or a lucky fan gets to take a ball home (presuming they weren't killed).
I have watched a lot of Stuckey over the years. I have seen no evidence of him playing the point guard position at a mediocre level. In fact, perhaps Stuckey should not play at all: Pistons record when Stuckey does not play: 4-1 When Stuckey plays 20 minutes or less: 2-1 When Stuckey plays more than 20 minutes: 9-23 Maybe it's just a coincidence.....
Time for more response. Is it hatred of Bynum to point out that our bench, let alone no longer extending leads or erasing deficits, can no longer hold a lead for us of any size? No, its just pointing out that we no longer have a bench of any note since Bynum and Stuckey began trying to coexist in our backcourt. Lets examine how Bynum got into the rotation. Was Stuckey doing really bad? No, our bench scored over 80 points, and Bynum got into the game for garbage time. Hmm, bench humming along. Here comes Bynum. Within a few games, our bench is doing nothing. Stuckey did get injured, and Bynum did his job as the 3rd string point. Fantastic. If it had stopped there, indeed, we could all say Bynum contributed - as the 3rd string point. But, instead, we have Frank forcing Bynum into the rotation, and our bench going from vaunted to a zero. Now, Bynum was actually plus as part of our modified starting unit in this last game. Only, wait a moment, our starters were kicking tail mightily before Bynum played as part of the "starting" unit. Stuckey, (instead of Knight), Bynum (instead of Singler), Singler (now replacing Tay), Monroe (now replacing JMAX), and Drummond (now replacing Monroe.) Good unit, did well. With Bynum the only guy to hide on defense, not too bad on that end of the floor. This unit removes two players who should not be starting for us, JMAX, and Tay, from the starting unit. Which improves it quite a bit. Stuckey has never represented any kind of dropoff from Knight as a point guard. Singler is way more effective than Tay at spreading the floor and is just generally way more active than Tay these days. One last thing I will cover. No, Knight is not a shooting guard. You shoot the ball to him as he comes off a pick, and he is most likely going to miss. If he tries to shake off his guy, he is going to miss. Yes, he can hit a 3 if forgotten about, but that does not make him a shooting guard. Stuckey also, if forgotten about so he can step into his shot, can make a 3 upon occasion. Still not a shooting guard by any stretch. What Knight excells at is controlling things out there, who shoots when, and pretty decent too at deciding to take it in himself without overdoing that. And he can guard the position pretty well. When he looks bad, it is usually from having too litlle outside firepower to get the floor spread. Switching to either Stuckey, or Bynum, would not help our starters any. Still, our starters, as they are, have exactly a 50 /50 win to loss ratio. Certainly not ideal, but not horrid either. But yes, in need of improvement. In my opinion, a very good starting unit would be Knight, English (or Daye or Middleton), Singler, Monroe, Drummond. Until we try it, coach has not begun to get this team to work together as best as it can.
They were all bad fouls, and dumb. I saw it, the refs saw it, and then coach saw it, and yanked him.
Agree with this. It just goes to show you that if you have a ball-hungry PG (Bynum) and a monster defensive enforcer at the C (Drummond), you can surround them with ANY players that resemble shooters and you've got a positive result. Why can't the coach see this? BTW, I kept watching that clip Roscoe posted at the beginning of the thread. I have forgotten just how good defensively Rodman was. It's a thing of beauty when he was defending Bird posting up.
I liked the game. The team is improving in fits and starts. The point guard debate won't go away because it is a weakness of the team no matter who is running the show. Singler looked lively again. Good. He looked like he had hit the "rookie wall" a ways back. Yes, Lee, the league has adjusted to that second unit and now regularly comes out on the shooters. But they can't seem to adjust to Drummond...which is why we fans are finally excited again. The key is Drummond. Without Drummond, this would have been a disappointing year. The organization should now realize that personnel decisions need to be based on the notion of Drummond at center. To that effect, Monroe simply has to get a jumper. Notice how often he gets the ball about 15 feet out late in the clock and because he doesn't have a shot, drops it off to someone who is stuck with the clock running out. I want to see Monroe as a success next to Drummond. He needs a jumper to make it work smoothly.
I agree that stuck and Bynum cant coexist in the back court since they are both horrible without the ball. Bynum is defenitely better than Stuckey as far as getting into the lane and setting anyone else up for a shot (especially Dre with the oop) and since Dre is the future and he obviously has a rapore with Bynum? Stuck is theodd man out and I dont think its close. Stuckey has shown a slight improvement in his outside shot this year but way too little too late.. and he still has blinders on when he drives into the paint, not only does he not see his teammates open for a drop off or oop...but he rarely sees the defender in front of him and is still called for too many offensive fouls. At this point I think he should be the backup to the backup and would even like to see English or Middleton get some of his burn since I dont se him as any part movng forward. Everything oving forward to end this season should be about finding which pieces currently on our roster will fit with the style of game we are going to be using to best fascilitate Dre's growth. We have done as much showcasing as can be expected and if there are no suitors? well " nice goin Dumars we're stuck with em...but we dont have to play them". The scouting reports are out and our second unit can shoot from deep when they have space...but they dont put it on the floor well. It is also known that Dre and Bynum like to oop...unfortunately for the opponents they can close out on our shooters but they cant do anything about the manchild rolling to the rim.
Stuckey seems to be a decent 3 point shooter when bynum sets him up on the baseline. Ignoring everything else, bynum and drummond are just exciting to watch. I get really pumped up when they do their pick your poison routine.
Got to mention how Singler fits into all this so far. Recall that it was the addition of Singler to our starting unit that made the starting unit good enough to start winning at least a game here and there. Also, Singler was the 3rd outside shooter, combined with CV and Daye, that made our 2nd unit so good. Singler was removed from our 2nd unit when Bynum was kept as part of the 2nd unit even though a healthy Stuckey returned. As bad as the combo of Stuckey and Bynum is, the fact Singler is not part of the group also hurts. Singler has returned though these last couple of games to that 2nd unit. And about that "wall" some think Singler hit. Hey, he had an eye injury. It seemed he could not see to shoot the ball for several games. As far as I can tell, there is nothing more to that. Lately, he is hitting his shots at all ranges, just as he was before the eye injury. And also, with all this talk about a 2nd unit - it would hardly matter what 2nd unit we used if we just fixed our starters, who could then just play 40 minutes a game. Knight, Middleton, Singler, Monroe, Drummond.

Toronto-based Teeple Architects is interested in architecture that not only occupies its environment, but is a full-fledged extension of it. The 60 Richmond Street East Housing Co-operative project is an application of the principle. "The idea was to explore the form of the city," says principal Stephen Teeple. "It seeks to reinvent what the high-rise can be." In this iteration, it's a sustainable urban entity that grows food, cools and cleans the air, and helps prevent stormwater runoff.
The affordable project consists of 85 one- to four-bedroom units for workers in the hospitality industry and a teaching kitchen/restaurant that will provide inexpensive meals to the public. The building's green roofs will grow food for the restaurant, and a compost garden will handle its waste. Second- and third-floor units will have two levels, and most will have private terraces. An ideal ratio of 40 percent high-performance glazing and 60 percent solid exterior wall will ensure energy efficiency, while a carved-away façade will maximize natural light. A collection system will channel water to the rooftop cistern for landscaping.
Engineers helped design complex mechanicals that will transfer energy from the warm side of the building to its cold side. A heat-recovery system and insulated rainscreen cladding also will help control climate extremes efficiently. "This project was a beautiful opportunity, and all the pieces fit together nicely," Teeple says. It's expected to be completed by July 2009 and will be seeking LEED Gold status.

no poptarts OR eggos OR toaster strudels???
hmmm...what about ice creams? everyone's gotta have ice cream! :) what's your FAVORITE ICE CREAM??
mine is...hmmm...i'm thinkin' a tie between classic strawberry on a waffle cone and frozen yogurrrrt in a little dish.
anyone else?
CuteMyspaceTags.com Miss Lucy said:I feel so left out.. I've never had ANY of the things your talking about.. apparently I'm deprived.
I've never tried cereal on ice cream.. I should do that sometime.. but I've also had ice cream and cake.
My favvorite cereals are:: Rice Crispies, Honey Bunches of oats with almonds and Honey Nut cheerios. O:
What are your guys' favorite movies? Mine (at the moment) is 13 going on 30, because the girl in it when she's an adult seems so innocent like when she was 13, and I hope I don't change that much between now and when I'm 30. <3
I AM deprived lol - I have never heared of anything at all - pop tarts wth? lol - must be an american thing. Also don't have a TV so no favourite tv series...although I love doctor who and torchwood - geeky not? :D
I think the customs people might get a bit of a shock!
I don't think I've EVER had ice cream cake. But your probably right about ice cream and cake being a duo until the end of time.
I don't think I've ever had reece's puffs before.. and I KNOW I have never had frosted, whole grain, fruity, or the mixed kind of cheerios, or special K. Corn flakes gross me out because of something one of my friends says when I'm PO'd, and granola is too dry for my taste. ;L
I've never heard of Elizabethtown or Black Snake Moan. But Across the Universe was a pretty decent movie along with GREASE. But every time I watch GREASE I'm thinking "This is sooooo 1960's" haha~
My favorite TV shows are: Gilmore Girls, Secret Life of an American Teenager, House, and What I Like About You.
So, Hannah. If your not from America, where are you from?
I think I've had that type of cheeios.. It was a little weird if I remember right.

NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital's PCU or Progressive Care Unit is designed to care for seriously ill patients who require constant monitoring but whose condition does not warrant care in the Intensive Care Unit. Often patients are moved from the ICU to the PCU as their condition improves.
In June of 2002, NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital became the first in the region to open a PCU. The goal was to give seriously ill patients a place where they could be carefully monitored, while freeing up space in the ICU for more critical patients.
Patients in the PCU require continuous monitoring, and treatments, such as, intravenous cardiac medications or insulin. The unit cares for stroke patients and patients with complications from chronic disease such as diabetics as well as a growing population of bariatric patients. PCU rooms are larger than general medical surgical rooms. With a dedicated nursing station, 24-hour cardiac monitoring, bedside dialysis, point-of-care computer technology, patients can receive close monitoring as their condition improves. In October of 2008, the PCU was expanded from 8 beds to 12 beds and a new Cardiac monitoring system, Telemetry command Center, Patient lift equipment, a special Bariatric Room, WiFi and bedside computers were added to allow nurses and doctors instant access to medical records at bedside.

Court Vision and Sailor's Cap, a pair of stakes winners from the East, arrived at Hollywood Park this week for the $500,000 Hollywood Derby on Sunday.
The Hollywood Derby and $500,000 Matriarch are co-features closing day of the three-day, six-stake Turf Festival, which begins Friday.
Court Vision arrived in Barn 60 North Tuesday from Florida, while Sailor's Cap was flown in Monday from New York and was stabled in Barn 50 North.
McCarthy said the colt arrived at 7 p.m. after being vanned from Payson Park to Fort Lauderdale and flown to Memphis and LAX.
"He seems to be bright and happy," said McCarthy. "I know he wants to walk faster than I do."
Court Vision is a graded stakes winner on dirt, synthetic and turf, winning the Grade II Jamaica Handicap on the Belmont Park grass in his last outing Oct. 4.
"I do think at this stage of his career he appreciates the grass a little more," said McCarthy.
McCarthy, a native of Ireland, has been with Mott since 1995. "When I started with Bill, Cigar was reaching the pinnacle of his career," said McCarthy. "I've seen plenty of good ones since then but none quite that good." McCarthy accompanied Go Between when he won the Pacific Classic at Del Mar in August.
McCarthy expects Court Vision to rally from mid-pack in the Grade I test at 1 ¼ miles on turf. "A little bit of speed in there is not going to hamper him," said McCarthy in apparent reference to expected pacesetters Muny and Cowboy Cal.
"Court Vision and Gio Ponti have been butting heads," said McCarthy of another stakes winner in the lineup. "He got us in the Virginia Derby, and we got him in New York (in the Jamaica). We've got a bit of a rivalry going."
Sailor's Cap has also run against both, defeating Court Vision in the Colonial Turf Cup and finishing third in the Virginia Derby.
"He jogged once around today," said Dana Antonczak, assistant to trainer Jim Toner,
after a long trip from New York two days earlier.
"He's an easy keeper and a mild-tempered horse," said Antonczak. "There were excessive delays and a refueling stop on the flight but he doesn't get rattled about too much stuff."
Antonczak, who came out last year with third-place finisher Bold Hawk for Toner, was happy to see rain dampen the track the previous night.
"I don't need to express my elation at the rain we just got, and I'm hoping for more," said Antonczak. "I'm probably the only one, but if rain softens it up, it will make it that much easier on him."
Sailor's Cap has recorded two of his three victories on "off" turf courses, including 6 ¾-length romp in the Colonial Turf Cup during a downpour in Virginia. "It came down torrentially, and the horse just loved it," said Antonczak.
The probable lineup: Court Vision (Ramon Dominguez), Sailor's Cap (Alan Garcia), Cowboy Cal (John Velazquez), Gio Ponti (Garrett Gomez), Madeo (Mike Smith), Muny (David Flores), Midships (Rafael Bejarano) and Albahri (Julien Leparoux). Dixie Chatter, also under consideration for the Native Diver Handicap Dec. 6, heads a list of possibles.
Pam York, assistant to trainer Shug McGaughey, hopes Criminologist has a smoother trip in the $500,000 Matriarch Sunday than she experienced in a flight from New York Monday.
"It was a long trip," said York, who accompanied the 5-year-old mare, after jogging her on the main track Wednesday. "We left Belmont at 7:30 a.m. Eastern time and got here at 11:30 p.m. Western time, about 17 hours. We flew from a cargo airport on Long Island to Louisville, where we were on the ground for three hours because of problems with the plane. Then we had an unscheduled stop to refuel in Palm Springs before we got to Ontario.
"Criminologist is a great shipper; it didn't bother her at all," added York, who hopes to send the mare to the breeding shed with her first Grade I victory in her career finale.
"We pulled it off earlier this year with Carriage Trail in the Spinster," said York, who also galloped her before her first Grade I stakes win at Keeneland before retirement next year.
"Carriage Trail and Criminologist are related," pointed out York. "Both have the same grand-dam, Deputation. Their dams are full sisters. Deputation was bred to Seeking The Gold to produce Search Party, the dam of Criminologist, and Manoa, the dam of Carriage Party."
York made her first visit to California since she worked here 11 years ago.
"I worked here from 1991-97 for Rodney Rash," said York, a native of Tallahassee, Fla. "I stayed a few more months with Ben Cecil, then moved to New York. I first worked there for Tom Skiffington and have been with Shug since 1999. I used to work for him in 1986-87."
York said she will miss Criminologist, a multiple Grade III winner.
"I've been galloping horses for 30 years and she's definitely in my top three," said York, also including Urgent Request, a Santa Anita Handicap winner, and Maxzene. "She's honest, and a pleasure to ride. She's one of those horses you wait all your life to ride." Edgar Prado has the call.
The Grade I Matriarch for fillies and mares at one mile on turf is also expected to include defending champion Precious Kitten (Rafael Bejarano), Visit (Garrett Gomez), Cocoa Beach (Ramon Dominguez), Black Mamba (Mike Smith), Roshani (John Velazquez), Rosinka (Jeremy Rose), Magical Fantasy (Alex Solis), Passified and I Can See.
Trainer John Shirreffs, hospitalized for two days with a pelvic injury after his pony was spooked on the main track Friday, has returned to work.
"I took today off because of the rain," said Shirreffs from his home in Arcadia Wednesday. "But I was back in the barn Sunday afternoon and Monday and Tuesday mornings.
"It was no big deal," said Shirreffs, 63, of the injury. "I've taken plenty of lacrosse balls to the gut." Shirreffs played lacrosse in high school on Long Island.
Shirreffs looks forward to Sunday when, in addition to Madeo running in the Hollywood Derby, Zenyatta will be honored by the track with free posters signed by jockey Mike Smith.
"She's going to parade," said Shirreffs of the 4-year-old filly, winner of the Breeders' Cup Ladies Distaff and unbeaten in nine starts.
"We're going to be a bunch of proud people that day," said Shirreffs of "team" members including himself, Smith, owners Jerry and Ann Moss, racing manager Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs (the trainer's wife), groom Mario Espinoza, exercise rider Steve Willard and foreman Frank Leal.
Trainer Julio Canani said Wednesday from Santa Anita that it was not difficult to resist the temptation of the Breeders' Cup Mile for Hyperbaric after the 5-year-old gelding won the Grade II Oak Tree Mile, a "win-and-you're-in" race Sept. 28.
"The Breeders' Cup Mile was too close (Oct. 25)," said Canani. "You can't keep dancing and doing well. You can't be greedy."
Canani instead targeted the $400,000 Citation Handicap Friday at 1 1/16 miles on turf in hopes of giving the horse ample time between races to earn his first Grade I stakes victory.
Hyperbaric, who finished third in the Shoemaker Mile and American Handicap here this summer, breaks from the rail under co-high weight of 120 pounds with jockey Tyler Baze in a field of ten.

What We Deserve [Success Sunday]
What We Deserve
From Sonya Renee
ETA: If you're not aware, "Women deserve better" is one of the mottos of the anti-sex ed, anti-birth control "Feminists For Life". For more on the speaker Sonya responds to, see Lauren in the comments.
4 comments:
"Women deserve better than abortion" is actually the motto of Feminists for Life, a pro-life organization with anti-birth control and anti-sex ed positions (though they claim not to take a position on these issues). If the woman described by this speaker is who I think it is, she came to my university last year to speak at an even sponsored by our university's Coalition for Life. I went in respectful disagreement, but after hearing Karen Shablin give people who had real, on point questions the runaround, I was sickened. Sonya Renee is right on point.ReplyDelete
Lauren, thanks for sharing! I've made a couple notes based on your comment in the original post.ReplyDelete
She was telling it like IT T-I-S!!!ReplyDelete
I posted this video awhile ago but is certainly has not lost its punch. We should not sugar coat the struggles that we must go through to validate our existence. Women deserve so much more in this world and more of us need to stand up and demand it.ReplyDelete

Hey guys
I'm an outgoing 22 yr old guy from Ireland and I was wondering what possibility I would have of teaching English in lieu of my lack of qualifications (Though I do have good GCSE's). I would consider working anywhere though I would like to work in Asia preferably. I know this is a long shot but I've reached a dead end in my life at the moment and I need a change.
Help Please!

Bacary Sagna believes AZ Alkmaar's late leveller on Tuesday night is a lesson in concentration for his Arsenal side.
The visitors seemed to be cruising to victory at the DSB Stadium before David Mendes Da Silva lashed home a volley in the dying seconds.
Arsenal are still top of Champions League Group H and highly likely to progress to the Knockout Stages but, for their right back making his 100th appearance for the Club, the draw felt like a defeat.
"Yes it does but we have to stay focused until the end of the game and we have to learn," he told Arsenal.com.
"Tonight we switched off because we thought maybe that the game was over and they scored a nice goal.
"With injury time, we have to concentrate 95 minutes these days. Tonight we only concentrated for maybe 90 minutes so we just have to learn from it and take all the positives we can."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I bought this camera for £245 from jessops online. Ended up returning it for a refund. Although it has some amazing features, the battery life is rubbish, have to charge the battery in the camera. Samsung Tech support is poor, picture output is very inconsistent. Outdoor pictures are brill, but any any other conditions its a mixed bag. Menus over complicated. Video is excellent, but the left mic is positioned where you would place your finger to hold it. Ended up buying a Lumix TZ10, and prefer the image quality and although the video is 720p, It's still very good.
Hi Zubs,
I'm planning to buy a camera but I'm torn between the TZ10 and the WB2000. Hi-Def video is important to me (so the WB2000 seems to score higher than the TZ10 based on image resolution and the fact the TZ10 limits your recordings to 15 minutes) - which camera do you feel is better for family videos overall.
Also - which camera do you feel gives better quality images in low light (Indoors at pubs etc)? The reviews on the TZ10 suggest it's not so good in low light as some other cameras so really not sure which camera is better for me overall.
When you had the bad images on the WB2000 - what issues did you experience. (Poor focus, pictures undersaturated?)
Sorry for all the questions - Just would really appreciate a users view from anyone who has used both cameras.
I've had this camera about ten days and been very impressed. A couple of things, like 'smart range' (which, for the steady-handed, takes two shots at different exposures and combines them in camera (Ricoh style) for massively increased dynamic range)are burried too deeply in the menu. Also it seems to generally slightly overexpose shots. However I've tested it under all sorts of conditions and I'm pleased to say I agree with Cliff that this is a very good little camera. If's OK as a point and shoot, but if you take a little trouble and use its many options then it is capable of producing superb results. And most of the controls are easily accessed via the mode dial and function button.
Hi Maxik, The Samsung 1080p is very good, but I was looking for overall image quality. But even at 720p, the Lumix is very good and has excellent stereo sound recording. The samsung has too many settings for different setting, and in reality most people will never user some of the functions.TZ10 recording in europe is up to 29mins 59 secs. The camera is easier for my wife to take pics of the kids and has the extras for me, I love the results in all conditions. Regarding images, focus, blurring was present on some shots(which I never even had with my 7yr old Canon Ixus).colours can look undersaturated and cold(Other reviews have also said the same) and battery life is pathetic. But it's down to personal taste. Being a Canon user, I feel at ease with the TZ10, with good support from Panasonic. Sadly Samsung have a bad rep for product support, I experienced this when I called their tech support twice to ask about the max SD/SDHC card support(they didn't have much of a clue) Although a 16SDHC worked fine.
Hi Zubs - Thanks for that - it's very much appreciated.
I think the Lumix will be the one for me, especially now I know it can record for up to 30 mins.
I live in the US and have the American equivalent to the WB2000, the TL350.
I am extremely impressed by the quality of the video: the 1080 video blows away videos made with my Panasonic ZS3/TZ7 which records in 720p. There's simply no comparison. I also like the fact that one can pause video recording (without creating an additional file) and resume recording with a simple push of the OK button.
The numerous user settings make this a very capable camera, and I have found that the colo(u)rs are quite accurate unless one uses the "vivid" setting which, if truth be told, is quite useful for fall foliage!
The rapid and simple access to common user settings is especially welcome: there is a specific button push for ISO, for example. It's true that in an ideal camera, I'd like to have the possibility to set the EV just as easily, but finding the EV setting is nonetheless sufficiently quick for me.
There is no perfect digital camera; the Panasonic TZ7, which has an excellent long zoom, is too noisy (grainy) even at relatively low ISOs, and the video is only 720p; the Canon S95 doesn't do 1080 video, nor do any of the other pocketable cameras available. My best advice is for you to choose the camera that best suits your wants and needs, and then to accept that it is the best one for you, regardless of its quirks and perceived shortcoming. Learn the interface thoroughly, so that it becomes second nature to select the appropriate settings. The resulting images will be quite comparable, whichever 10MP camera you get.
I'm learning my Samsung's interface and am quite pleased with the images and videos that I'm getting out of it. BTW I'm running it with a 16GB Class 6 card, and everything works perfectly.
I'm so confused right now as to which camera to get! Right, have shortlisted:
Samsung WB2000
Samsung WB600 (not sure I need GPS of the WB650, the WB600 is also SO delightfully cheap at the moment)
Sony WX5 (probably most like-for-like the WB2000 except lack of manual controls)
Sony HX5 (very keen on this one except noise reduction is super aggressive according to some reviews)
Panasonic TZ8 (Don't need the GPS of the TZ10, pic quality seems excellent up to 400).
As w previous reviews, it's hard to decide between this compact, and the other listed models some of which are bulkier travel superzooms. I'm giving myself £250 or so max, which rules out the like of the S95, EX1, LX5. I'm starting to think of a CMOS sensor as a 'must have', which then probably rules out the TZ8 (arguably best IQ of the list) and the WB600 (just incredible value and still very good IQ).
I like the sound of the wizardry Sony's got inside the WX5, but am not sure how much real-world value it has (there seems to be only a few reviews of the WX5 at the moment, and of those none of them quite match up to Sony's own blurb of "DSLR quality" IQ wise, surprisingly enough).
I'm off to Budapest in a couple of weeks and see myself doing great sweeping sweep- panoramas of the Danube (hence the preference for a CMOS type sensor), including night-time shots. Anybody got any input or comments on the above?
I bought this camera the week it came out and am totally delighted with it.
The movie mode is the best I've seen in a small compact, but the cherry on the icing on the cake is to get RAW mode, which I now use most of the time.
The Silkypix software is a quirky program, but it does do the business.
I agree the battery life is a let down - as is the need to re-charge in camera - but I would expect to buy a spare in any case.
The big let-down is not the camera: so far there's no HD lead to connect to the TV, and this camera's movie mode demands nothing else.
In regards to the battery life, I bought a charger and two batteries on E-bay for $20. I also bought a 6 foot HDMI cable for less than $10. I love this camera for all its features
I think the thing that sets this camera apart from the rest for me is the Small size and video features
So far, outstanding camera, as good as my SLR for some purposes. Flash and fill flash is especially good, which is often forgotten by reviewers as a feature.
First-class lens, excellent exposure and very good focusing, plus excellent image quality. And it does RAW and HD1080.
Must have some fancy internals to be this good.
I have just bought this camera and have issue with this review - and so far, the camera as well.
1. It is NOT 1080p - it is 1080i...which is NOT full HD. It's 'HD READY'....going by TV spec. jargon.
2. No mention of dodgy battery life in review?
3. When in shooting mode the camera makes a constant quiet buzzing noise, if your ear is within a foot you'll hear it...!? Why? No surprise it has poor battery life.
4. So far pics seem noisy.... also even when I pointed it right into a lightbulb that was tunred on the shutter speed still was on 1/60!? My DSLR would be about 1/500
Also I agree with the others....no HDMI cable, no charging dock - originally £300. Get real.
I may well take this back unless I can find a good reason to keep it. I don't mind an ugly looking camera if the pics are good...but this is pushing it with it's lazy styling in some areas.
Bons résultats avec des conditions de lumières fortes. Par contre pour préserver le piqué Samsung a opté pour la dégradation de la chrominance dans les isos forts et même dans les zones sombres de l'image; cette dégradation est vraiment trop forte! Le shoot en raw ne sert pas à grand chose, le moteur jpg étant très bon La balance des blancs est totalement paramétrable, même avec des valeurs perso. L'autonomie de la batterie est comme tous les compacts modernes très limite, rien à voir avec un canon g6 ou un fuji f30!.... mais il était plus volumineux Il n'est pas possible de faire des panoramas en taille réel, la mémorisation de l'ae n'étant pas prévue, il faut se contenter de ce que donne l'appareil. La molette rotative est trop souple, le le déclencheur trop sensible, alors que le zoom est fluide, il a 10 pas. Le prix étant bien chuté, l'appareil vaut le coup, globalement car le canon ixus220hs similaire est bien moins bon en télé...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the clarification Beenaway. I had an idea that might be what you were talking about. For the sake of clarity let's try to to make a distinction in future posts differentiating between WC and SSDI...I just hate to see one program getting tarred for the abuses of another program altogether.
W/C Disablilty is 6 weeks. I thought you were talking about disability in general. Sorry. You CAN collect W/C for pregancy from the time the Doc pulls you, up until he releases you back to work. At least in NY.
The reason W/C is mentioned, is that is the first avenue. Then settlement/determination, then it transfers to SSDI, until retirement age,which transfers to SSI(Old Age)
Unfortunately, making the tough but correct decisions is what leaders are supposed to do. We got sick and tired of being run down the socialism path by the Demos so we gave the Republicans the gauntlet. What have they done? Run up the two or three largest budget increases in history, opened our boarders to anyone who wants to come across, given Ted Kennedy responsibility for drafting the teacher's union pacification bill, cowed to any and every challenge the Domos throw up (I'm sure THEY are even disappointed how easy their challenges crush the Republicans. Anyone would want a little more spirited fight than that).
My solution for the Bush appointment loggerhead; let John Kerry nominate cabinet members and judges - everyone would vote for them and the problem would disappear. Look how easily that pure Marxist Ruth Bader Ginsburgh got approved for the Supremes. Then the Republicans would be better spoken of in the NY Times which is, after all, their goal in life.
If Hillary will say the right words about closing the boarders, I'll probably vote for her. Sure she would be lying but at lest she would say the right things! And why not have a real true to life Marxist as president instead of an imitation?
Finally at my age, I will get a WHOLE BUNCH of freebies that you young'uns will have to pay for so what could be better!! Unearned income like my 401K and like Ted Kennedy relies on will be protected 'cause that is mainly what congressmen get and they are too smart to screw themselves. Taxes on earned imcome will go up to 80% to 90% to pay for my benefits but I will be retired!!
You wish it was only 6 weeks, that may be true if you have a private policy. YOU HAVE TO BE DISABLED FOR 6 MONTHS before you can apply for US Social Security disability. If and when you are approved, you start drawing the 7th month. If you are not approved for 5 months you are paid a lump sum for the 5 months, NOTHING for the first 6 months.
Oh, and you can not collect disability for being pregnant.
Its only 6 weeks.
Example: Women out on maternity leave, can collect 6 weeks from the time the Doc "pulls them, to up to 8 weeks after, depending on her medical conditions. Apeziotomy (sp?), etc. They're out for a minimum of 6 weeks. It does take quite a while for the checks to flow though. I don't think that is right, though.
Well, on to the serious stuff...actually in response to your Washington Post link. I think the problem is that while SS may not be a very good option...people are VERY reluctant to make change of any sort. And they are particularly reluctant when it involves a program which has, in the past, provided the basic foundation supporting retirement for many seniors. We all know something must be done, but there is great reluctance to give up what has served many people well over the years. People are very uncomfortable with change, and I think that is what republicans are discovering when they go back home and listen to their constituents. I'm not saying that is a good thing...but it IS a powerful thing.
Repeat after me...repeat after me...repeat after me.....
Haven't been on here in a few months but saw this thread today and had to reply. I am totally disabled and draw SS disability. I have good days and bad, about one good per week. I worked 45 years, paying SS each year and for app. 40 of those I worked in pain. For the first year of my disability I had to pay ALL my medical bills including medicine. No one would insure me and I did not qualify for any assistance. Damn right, I think I deserve my little disability check but would trade it with the pain to any of you for your good health. You can keep your income but don't plan on having it for long.
ps. I would also like to add that you have to be out of work (disabled) for 6 months before you can even apply for disability.
I dont get it, am I just catching the "spin" on the deal here.
Between the three of them they call for cutting current benefits, raising the retirement age to the death age, taxing the snot out of rich people, basing the benefit to rich people on price increases(cost of living), and basing the benefit to Joe Average on his income with a little kick for price increases. Seems to me that they only promise security for the folks that have a lesser need for it.
This stuck out like a sweaty whore in church
They must be smokin' dope up there.
Maybe it's different in other parts of the country but here the wages for average folks don't go up in proportion to prices, they fall behind ever so slightly each year. That means that I'm still screwed, if I even live long enough to qualify for SSI retirement benefits.
Did I get it right?
|As I thought, you will get your wish - SSI will continue as-is into oblivion! See this article on the Republican 'majority'.
Yes my result has exceeded the market in general but again that wasn't my fault, believe me. I am a total loser whenever I try to play the market myself. All the credit goes to the mutual fund managers @ Putnam, Vanguard, & Fidelity. The aggressive growth funds managed by those pros should and do beat the general market by a point or two. Go to their websites and look at their various funds (which would be the type offered in the personal savings accounts in the new SSI). The more aggressive ones are well above 10%, long term. Granted they went negative during Clinton's recession but I couldn't care less. Over the 40 year period of my career, NOTHING beats the market, long term, let alone the govenment account which after 60 years and multiple $trillion invested, is @ $0.00.
And note that in the low case I posted above (the guy who starts out in a @ $20,000/yr job) was conservative. I gave him a 7.5% return on savings before retirement, 3% salary inflation (basically, inflation rate - he was barely above entry level his whole career) and he still retires w/ $1,000,000 in his retirement account. I think I used a pretty conservative and do-able case. Even if he only achieves half that performance and retires w/ $500,000, that gives him more than he gets from the government and it is his to pass on to his progeny if he so desires.
The second example where the guy hustles a little and gets a college education, gets a pretty good job, and is smarter than you and me and achieves the attainable higher 12% rate in the market retires a multi-millionaire.
Point is, ANYTHING an individual does with that money is better than what we have now with a government that has extorted 15% of his income, stolen $trillions from the resulted 'savings account' leaving it bankrupt and the average Joe with a below-poverty stipend of $1800/mo and even that will be defaulted on in the next few years unless they raise the tax rate on our children to 80%.
|Thanx Been, my advanced Alzheimer's made me forget the 800# gorilla of medical liability. Government involvement can ALWAYS be honestly cited as a huge reason for screwed up systems but Dr insurance is a disaster. I think the exodus from the medical field by 'overpaid' Dr.s is testimony to that out -of-control disaster. And you are incorrect, there is NOT a surplus in SSI. The balance in the SSI account is ZERO. Any excess in cash flow is instantly spent by our esteemed representatives who graciously leave IOUs in the account, to be honored at some unspecified later date by a 80%-90% tax rate on our children & grandchildren.
Here's my spin in things. I agree with Jeff / Willys with the exception of the governmental payments to the industry. The Government pays a set fee for each service, regardless what the Doc or hospital charges. The insurance industry (Policy holders) bears the brunt in additional charges to offset the medicare, medicaid, mandated pro-bono, etc.
The docs today are making less that they were 20 years ago. Exhorbitant Malpractice costs are the primary reason. Secondary, is Medicaid/Medicare payments are 120 to 150 days from application. When the office calls for money, which SHOULD be "Net 30", the M/C office will try to negotiate, in order to send the Doc's cash. The GOVERNMENT puts the screws to the Doc/hospitals in addition to regulating the billable costs. For US, the bill would be $200.00 , yet M/C will only pay $130.00. By the time they are done, they pay $110.00. The Docs office/ hospital will raise prices to the offset the deficit. The Insurance co will battle with the Docs office, and depending on the plan you have, you may end up paying 1/3 of it out of pocket!! My wife used to be aNurse manager in an OB/GYN office, and best friends with the office manager. For a group of 6 Docs, they paid in EXCESS OF 1 MILLION in Malpractice Insurance. They had ZERO claims against them in 15 years.
Malpractice is our nemisis
Medicaid is our nemesis
The drug companies are being sued every day. A guy wants a woody, takes a pill, has great sex, has a heart attack and SUES. Was he in good enough shape to handle the sex? Doesn't matter. Sue Viagra, and be a millionaire.
The Federal Drug Administration will not allow Canadien drugs, as they are not proven safe in US testing labs. Until they are tested, they aren't considered safe. I am not sure of the legal ramifications of intercountry lawsuits.
Remember, that EACH PERSON reacts to EACH drug differently. Its body chemistry. Now add the "diet" variables, such as a more acidic diet, that will affect each drug. Now add in the multitude of variables ,such as how many drugs there are available over the counter, prescribed drugs, sunlight, allergies,etc. Start mixing all this crap up, and you have the "meltdown" potential. Your dogs can not sue, so therfore, his medicine is cheaper, and the drug co is making TONS more money.
Research costs money. Thats added to the cost of drugs.
Docs get kickbacks on the drugs they prescribe. Believe it. I ALWAYS ask for generic. "This is the greatest...." Sorry,Doc. Give me penicillian. That works. The Medicaid recipients want the best stuff out there, because THEY don't pay for it. WE DO!! And we have to take the generic stuff.
Bankruptcy laws? Whole different topic. But why shouldn't you be responsible for your actions? If you can't pay it, don't buy it.
Would you fix a car , and not expect payment? Why expect anyone else to do their job, and not be paid? It lowers the cost to everyone in the long run. (bad debt)
One of the scarey things today, is everyone EXPECTS to have all the nice things in life, regardless of how hard they work. Take "Joe Blow" who decides he wants to work construction in the summer only, and doesn't want to work winters. Should he have all the luxuries of life? Or should he make sacrafices? Like drive a used pickup instead of an H-2? He has the income in the SUMMER to buy it, but unemployment just covers the necessities in the winter.
No one saves for emergencies. EVERY single person out there should have a MINIMUM of 1 years salary in the bank. LIQUID CASH. Can't save on your limited budget? Make some sacrafices. The kids don't NEED Playstation 300, nor do they need 4 pairs of $200.00 sneakers. Its about using YOUR judgement, and deciding whats best for your family LONG term. My wife and I wanted 4 kids. We knew we could only afford 2. Especially when it came to sending them to school. (Ay Currumba!!) That time is here, and $30K a year with no tuition aid is a killer. My daughter can't even get a job on campus, because thats reserved for low income kids. The kids going for FREE, incidently. Thats SUCKS!
Ok,enough ranting..... Anyone have any prozac?

Fictionwise shutting down--books can be transferred to NOOK LibraryNallia Nov 16, 2012 6:31 AM
Some of you may already know this, but Fictionwise will stop selling books on December 4, 2012.
From the FAQ:
Q1: Why is Fictionwise shutting down?
Fictionwise, comprised of several eBooks retail websites including Fictionwise.com, eReader.com and eBookwise.com ("Fictionwise Websites") is in the process of winding down its operations. Over the past three years there has been a significant decrease in demand for many of the eBook formats that the Fictionwise Websites sell. In contrast, the eBook format supported by Barnes & Noble--ePub--is growing in popularity.
Q2: What does the transfer option to a NOOK® Library at Barnes & Noble mean for me? How do I set up a BN.com account?
During the month of November, you will receive an email from Fictionwise Websites with instructions on how to opt-in to have your Bookshelf transferred to a BN.com NOOK Library. Once transferred, most of your eBooks in your Bookshelf should appear in your NOOK Library. See Question 10 below.
With your NOOK Library, you will have access to an expansive and ever-growing eBookstore. You can read NOOK Books on NOOK's free mobile app for your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet, NOOK® for Windows 8 PC or Tablet, as well as reading your eBooks with your PC/Mac web browser, or on the award-winning NOOK® devices.

The Fictionwise Websites will continue selling eBooks until December 4, 2012. After December 4, 2012, you will no longer be able to purchase eBooks at the Fictionwise Websites. From December 4, 2012 to December 21, 2012, U.S. customers will still have the ability to download content from your existing Bookshelf. From December 4, 2012 to January 31, 2012, customers outside the U.S. will still have the ability to download content from your existing Bookshelf.

Reno & Lake Tahoe Concerts
An epicenter of exciting concerts, music shows, singers and more, Reno Tahoe USA is an amazing destination for world-class entertainment. Reno Tahoe USA is packed with exhilarating things to do and see and experience at all hours of the day and night. There is always an diverse mix of live performances and shows to choose from!
At it's heart, in the company of live music, great food and a silent auction, are the prized beers of more than 40 local home-brewers, each competing for bragging rights and the chance to brew at The Silver Peak in Reno and have their beer featured on tap. It's the fund-raiser you'll never forget. Or remember.
At it's heart, Backwash is a celebration of craft brewing and a showcase of the very best the West has to offer. This year 69 beers will compete for the people's choice and brewers' choice award, and the entries come from all over the west coast: California, Nevada and Oregon. What makes these beers special is that unless one of the brewers happens to be a close friend of yours, you've never tasted them before. And with the exception of the winner, which will be on tap at the Silver Peak after the dust settles, you'll never get to taste them again. October 20th is your ONLY chance to drink them. Don't miss it!
If its heart is beer, then its soul is music. This year, the Bachwash main stage will feature Tim Snider and Jelly Bread. If you've been to the Strawberry Music Festival or the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cookoff, then you are more than familiar with these talented musicians. If you're not, then click the links, watch some videos and play some music! When the program manager at sponsor KHTX heard the entertainment line-up, he described Backwash as the party of the year. One listen, and you'll know why.
When the heart and soul have been properly cared for, food may seem like an afterthought. But at Backwash it most certainly isn't. The chefs at the Siena (one of this years Backwash Sponsors) are planning a menu that pairs perfectly with the beer you'll be enjoying. Your mom would frown on making a complete dinner out of the hearty hors d'ouvres that they'll be serving: Pot Stickers, Chicken Wings with Tangy Sauce, Jalapeno Poppers, Beef Sliders with Secret Spices, Apple Smoked Bacon topped with Cheese and House-Made Potato Salad. And anyway, your mom probably won't be there. And if she is, she'll be eating the same stuff with a big-ole smile on her face.
The Cause.
Beer, music and food is usually enough of an excuse for a night out. But Backwash is something much more than that. When you buy a ticket, you'll be supporting Project Great Outdoors, a local, volunteer based non-profit that helps troubled kids become a little less troubled. Project GO has almost no overhead, so the proceeds go straight to the kids. Learn more about Project GO and the great work done by its dedicated and skilled volunteers at http://www.projectGO.org.

Richard from Connecticut writes:
How do I use an HD TV as my computer monitor?
Many modern HDTV's include two popular options for connecting your computer. Older computers (and some recent ones) will use a connection called Dsub (or VGA), and is usually a blue tipped 15 Pin connection on the back of your computer. It uses a male to male cable VGA cable to plug into the PC on one end and the TV on the other. It only transmits video, so you'll also need to connect an audio cable from your computers speaker port to the audio input. Dsub can be be labeled VGA, PC IN, Monitor or Dsub, depending on your TV.
Newer computers will include a HDMI output, which is a flat male to male ended cable which transmits both video and sound, and is capable of displaying at the highest resolutions. If your computer includes a HDMI connection, it is the best way to connect it to a HDTV.
Once you connect your computer you must make sure to reference your TV's manual for the proper resolution settings for your computer, as a 720p TV or 1080p TV will have a different resolution then most typical computer monitors. You can change the resolution by going to Display in Control Panel in Windows or System Preferences > Display on a mac. It is always recommended to use the native resolution of the TV as described in the manual.
Hope this helps!

There are hundreds of thousand os maids working in more developed nations where people which seek their assistance to avoid taking on the burdens of caring for home and children. They are the anonymous and unseen people who clean streets or the mess someone leaves around a house. Miss Taniyen was one such young woman of 25 who made the long journey from her home in central Java to a nice house in Singapore where her employers promised a good job awaited. She arose every morning, cared for the child of the family, cooked meals and cleaned floors and then picked up the poop left by seven dogs in her care. She never complained because a job was important to a young immigrant girl born in the rural area of Indonesia.
One day, her employer, Brenda Tan Bee Khim, got upset because a pile of damp clothes lyin on a sofa had not been picked up. She boiled two cups of hot water, grabbed Miss Taniyen by the hair and proceeded to pour the hot liquid into her mouth. The girl cried in pain, but Ms. Khim then ordered her to mop up the water that had fallen on the floor. As she knelt down to do the task, Ms. Khim poured scalding hot water on her back. A few days later, Miss Taniyen was sent home to central Java without having received any money for her 18 months of labor and with an injured body.
This case is being heard in a court in Singapore. The defense counsel argues Miss Taniyen made no complaint when the incident allegedly occurred so how could anyone believe her story. This is simply another one of those stories about what happens to maids working in the homes of the rising middle class of Asia and the Middle East.
