"Ethics" was published in the early 1980s, when the U.S. economy experienced a decided upturn after two decades of civil unrest and an uncertain position in the global market. Perhaps it is no accident that an economics of worth is what drives the poem's ethical question, "which would you save, a Rembrandt painting / or an old woman who hadn't many years left anyhow?" When Republican Ronald Reagan became President in 1980, the country was ripe for economic reform. The former actor's plan, later dubbed "Reaganomics," involved drastic cuts in taxes and social spending, and resulted for a while in steep declines in interest and inflation rates, and the appearance of millions of new jobs.
In retrospect, however, that economic prosperity benefited only a few. The wealthiest five percent of Americans celebrated twenty percent gains, while three-fifths of the population, at the lower end of the economic...

After trading for Nene last March, the Washington Wizards quickly learned the value of having an experienced player who can make significant contirbutions on the court. The younger players benefited from Nene's basketball acumen, listened to his advice, elevated their games by competing against him in practice — and got to sip some late-season success.
The Nene effect was one of the primary reasons that the Wizards acquired Emeka Okafor from New Orleans in a pre-draft trade. They understood that Okafor gives them an underrated big man capable of forming a physical, rebounding, defensive-minded tandem with Nene and also filling in for him if he's forced to sit because of injury.
Okafor, who led Connecticut to national championship in college before becoming the face of the Charlotte Bobcats for six seasons, also can handle leadership responsibilities. Asked on media day where the Wizards can look for guidance with both John Wall and Nene out during training camp because of injuries, Okafor smiled, pointed at his chest and said, "That would be me, I guess."

Makes 4 servings
Mighty Miso
Miso-fermented soybean paste-is one of the most important staples in Japanese cooking, used in everything from soups to sauces and glazes. It's rich in protein and makes a great "secret" flavor enhancer for all kinds of cooking. Miso is made by mixing crushed boiled soybeans with rice, barley, or wheat; inoculating this mash with a yeast culture; and allowing the whole thing to ferment for several months. White miso (miso shiru), made with rice, has a sweet, delicate flavor, while red miso (aka miso), made with barley, is saltier and more robust. Both are sold in plastic tubs in many supermarkets and most natural food stares. In our house, there's always some miso in the fridge, so we can make a quick, nutritious soup by combining it with dashi, tofu, and whatever vegetables are on hand.
You don't have to be serving a Japanese meal to enjoy these tasty grilled vegetables: slices of eggplant, zucchini, onion, and shiitake mushrooms, cooked on a griddle and finished with a miso glaze.
1/4 cup Japanese soup stock (dashi)
3 tablespoons sweet cooking rice wine (mirin)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons fermented soybean paste (red miso)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 Asian eggplants, each about 5 inches long
2 zucchini, each about 5 inches long
1 medium onion
8 fresh shiitake mushrooms
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
Getting Ready
In a small pan, heat dashi, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce over medium heat just until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and whisk in miso until sauce is smoothly blended.
Combine cooking oil and sesame oil a small bowl.
Cut eggplants and zucchini diagonally to make ovals about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches long. Cut onion in half length-wise, then cut crosswise into 1/4 inch-thick slices. With a wooden pick, skewer each slice to keep rings together. Discard mushroom stems.
Place sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium beat; cook, shaking pan frequently, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately remove from pan to cool.
Heat a Japanese iron griddle (teppan) or wide frying pan over medium heat. Brush hot griddle with some of the oil. Place vegetables on griddle and brush with oil. Cook, turning once and brushing again with oil, until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes on each side.
Reduce heat to low. Brush half of miso glaze on vegetables and cook for 30 seconds. Turn vegetables. Brush with remaining glaze, and cook 30 seconds longer. Place on a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Ask Dr. Mike – August
Dr. Mike,
My husband and I were at the movies the other day with our 8-year-old son. There were two teenage boys in front of us who were holding hands, which was uncomfortable for my husband to see. He was uncomfortable with having our son witness other boys display romantic affection in public in that way. My husband became so upset that we had to change seats, which upset both my son and me since we ended last minute with horrible seats. This wasn't the first time we had to leave some place because of my husband's disdain for homosexuality. My husband is vehemently against homosexuality, and so is his entire family. As Christians neither of us endorse homosexuality as a lifestyle, but his strong views concern me since I DO NOT want to raise a homophobic child. Your thoughts on this delicate topic are appreciated. – I. in Loudoun County
I., I think you need to have a very serious conversation on this topic with your husband as soon as possible. Based on what you have written, it appears your husband's beliefs on homosexuality are likely rooted in the way he was raised and have been with him for a long time. Convincing him to believe in things differently at this point would probably be met with strong resistance. Rather than focusing on homosexuality as the main issue, I think you should instead discuss the importance of your role in raising your son so that he will be happy and successful in life and not angry, judgmental or close-minded.
Perhaps discussing how homosexuality is viewed in today's society may be a good start to the conversation. While your husband does not accept homosexuality as a lifestyle, our society as a whole has. In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder and the American Psychological Association followed suit in 1975. The World Health Organization finally recognized homosexuality as a normal variation of human sexuality in 1990. As you know, many states now recognize gay marriage, which has had changing implications for employee benefits and insurance. And same-sex couples are also now adopting in larger numbers than ever. The point for your husband to get is that his son is growing up in a world that has become increasingly accepting of homosexuality and other alternative lifestyles.
Your son is going to be exposed to all sorts of people across his development and life, and he is not always going to be able to simply change seats or remove himself from individuals or groups he does not approve of. In your conversation, I think you should get behind your husband with what you both agree on. Perhaps, as Christians, neither of you endorse homosexuality, and you both certainly have every right to raise your son with the values, morals and faith-based lessons you feel are most appropriate. At the same time, I would point out to your husband that his overt, negative disapproval and disdain for homosexuality will likely only cause your 8-year-old son emotional conflict over the coming years. At 8, your son is beginning to identify more with his father, but again, the world in general is not as negative or disdainful of homosexuality as your husband seems to be. Your son should enter preadolescence and adolescence with limited conflict as his own sexuality and beliefs are forming.
The take home lesson for your husband is that he has a right to raise his son with the values and morals he espouses and holds true for himself, but he also has a right and responsibility to teach his son to be tolerant, non-judgmental and accepting of others.
Dr. Mike,
We are launching our third and final child into the world at the end of summer. She is 18 and will be heading off to college. I have been very unhappy in my marriage for many years but have stayed because I wanted all of my children to be raised in an intact home. Well, I accomplished my goal, but it is now my time to move on and to give to myself. I am not angry or sad at this point, rather I am very happy and am excited about the next chapter of my life. I haven't communicated my unhappiness to my husband at all, so I'm sure the news will come as a shock to him. Any advice on how I might have "the talk" with him would be appreciated. – A. in Loudoun County
A., I recommend seeking the assistance of a well-seasoned couple's therapist and to introduce your thoughts and feelings in the context of the marital work. Your next steps as a wife and mother will be very important ones with the main goal of preserving your wellbeing and the wellbeing of your children and husband.
I understand that you are done with your marriage and have been for some time, but, as you noted, this will likely come as "a shock to him" since you have not openly communicated your problems over many years of unhappiness. A good couple's therapist should be able to help you both dismantle your marriage respectfully or mend what needs to be mended. I have had many couples show up at my office intent on getting divorced and then with hard work, changes and time, the marriage is saved.
On the other hand, I have had many couples show up at my office with stated smaller issues, and with work, we discover that the marriage is over. Regardless of your outcome, you have your children to think about in addition to yourselves in the decisions you and your husband make. Remember, being parents to your children does not stop at 18, and you will be co-parenting your children for the rest of your lives. You will be at the same graduations and the same weddings, and you should work to resolve your issues as a couple now (together or divorced) so as not to place any undo conflicts or problems on your children later.
Dr. Mike,
I just learned from my husband that he cheated on me when he spent a year abroad as a college student one year into our relationship. He told me that the affair he had has caused him great stress and guilt and that he couldn't keep the secret any longer. I understand that we were 20 at the time and that was 14 years ago and before our marriage, our children, our house, etc. I'm still very hurt and angry about what happened and we haven't spoken for days. I'm sure our kids are picking up on the terrible energy and tension in our home. I also feel stupid for making such a big deal out of this because we have such a beautiful marriage and life together and a lot of time and effort went into to creating all the good that we have. He has always respected and trusted me, and I have always respected and trusted him…or at least I thought there was always mutually shared respect and trust. Not sure what to do. – C. in Loudoun County
C., The hurt that comes from being betrayed by a loved one does not have a statute of limitations. While the affair happened 14 years ago, it was after you made a commitment to one another, and he broke that commitment by cheating on you. You have every right to feel what you are feeling, and your husband should give you time to digest the hard news. Some things to keep in mind while you are processing things. First, you were both 20 at the time and 20 year olds do stupid and impulsive things sometimes. Second, you were not married. Third, since you have been married you note that you have both worked hard to co-create a wonderful life, which now includes children. Fourth, your husband did not need to say a word about his dishonest behavior from 14 years ago, but it seems he did out of his respect and love for you. In time, this wound should heal. If it does not, I recommend you seek the assistance of a couple's therapist to help the two of you work through this news.
Dr. Mike,
It seems as though my 12-year-old son has developed a fear or phobia due to the Aurora, Colo., shootings. We were going to see the film as a family the other day, but he pulled me aside to tell me that he was scared something might happen. My husband and I then did everything we could to reassure him that nothing would happen but to no avail. We didn't end up going to see the movie. My son is very sensitive, so we aren't really surprised by his response. Any thoughts on how to help my little guy get through this? – F. in Loudoun County
F., The Colorado shootings were naturally very upsetting to many parents and children, and as the director of a private mental health practice and a psychologist, I have been inundated with numerous questions from many of my patients' parents this past week on the matter. Children develop fears and phobias when they are unable to manage the feelings they are experiencing in response to a stressor or trauma. You write that your son is a sensitive boy, and it may be the case that his temperament or personality style has left him emotionally vulnerable to adequately deal with the horrific news. I recommend a few things to consider to get your son back on track.
First, your son is watching how you act or react to the news as parents, so you need to remain calm and reassuring. Be the strong pillars he can lean on to get through this, by focusing on clarification and support when discussing the shootings or the Batman movie. Second, you may want to gradually expose your son to the stressor in order to overcome his fears. Perhaps you could suggest a going to a different movie; just being in a movie theater would be a good first step for him. You could perhaps also recommend watching Batman movies on DVD and in the comfort of your home.
By mastering his anxiety by gaining closer proximity to the stressor, your son's fears should lessen over time. Watch your son's emotional and behavioral functioning closely over the next few weeks. If he becomes more clingy and dependent or acts younger, if he becomes increasingly avoidant, if he continues to discuss the movie or what happened, if he demonstrates increased anxiety with separation, or if he just seems to be worried or preoccupied in general, I recommend taking him to a child psychologist for a consultation.

Payback: The Conspiracy to Destroy Michael Milken and His Financial RevolutionAccording to James Stewart's Den of Thieves, what happened on Wall Street in the '80s was really simple. Due to the crimes of Michael Milken and others, Stewart states: "the ownership of entire corporations changed hands, often forcibly, at a clip never before witnessed", "(h)ousehold names ... vanished in takeovers that spawned criminal activity and violations of the securities laws", "thousands of workers lost their jobs", "profits were sacrificed", and "bondholders and shareholders lost many millions more". "These", he writes, "are the costs of greed coupled with market power". But according to Daniel Fischel, this popular view is completely wrong. In his revolutionary book Payback, Daniel Fischel blows away the conventional wisdom on Michael Milken and the myth of the "decade of greed". Countering the press reports, prosecutors' statements, and denouncements by corporate boards, Fischel shows how Milken's innovative ideas overthrew a generation of inefficient corporate managers and injected a much needed dose of adrenaline into a lethargic Wall Street. Indeed, Fischel argues, Milken himself was wrongly accused and in reality committed no crimes. |

More Inks over Kirby Pencils
Again, another looooong delay between blog postings. I've been working so much on new stuff lately, but most of it is comics work which I really don't want to show until its all complete, so I've been scrambling for stuff to post here on my poor neglected blog. Hopefully, you won't mind looking at these samples of my inks over Jack Kirby's pencils while waiting for newer stuff.
As many of you know, I really dig practicing my inking over Kirby's artwork. He drew such complete pencil art that its usually a breeze to ink. I inked these over a few afternoons, a bit here and there at the start of my workday as a warm-up for the day's drawing. They were scanned from copies of the Jack Kirby Collector (a great Kirby zine) and printed out in blue before inking. I also have Ramon Perez to thank for scanning the final art for me (Ramon has a large-format scanner -- I gotta get one of those!).
Anyway, hopefully I'll be back soon to show some new comic art and stories I've written!

your inks complement "The King's" pencils very nicely.great job!
also...i'm working on an iron man piece i'd like to send you possibly to post on your iron man blog but having trouble accessing the email address. if you could please let me know the address i'd appreciate it. thanks! - 7/23/2007 12:44 AM
- RLS said...
These look awesome, Mike. I've been wanting to try these for a while too since I first hear of that Flickr group. I love both of them but especially that Conan. Fantastic spotting of blacks. Your inks are as sharp as ever on both.
- Mike Thompson said...
Fantastic inks, Mike. You make Kirby look crisp and new. I'd love to see more of these, and more of the Thor pages you had done in monochrome. Both are dynamite.
- Michael Cho said...
Jason: thanks, Jason. I always think inking Kirby is pretty easy -- all you have to do is follow the lines. There's very little that needs to be added or changed, you can just trace and weight the lines and that'll be enough in most cases. As for your Iron Man submission -- cool! I'll contact you via email about it.
RLS: thanks, Ron! I saw that Flickr group too (the one about Thor). I think it's a pretty cool idea but the early samples on it seeemed more like the contributors were clowning around more than they were being serious about re-inking Kirby. Some of them changed the artwork and did such a jokey job of it that it seemed worse than Colletta in many ways! Still, it seems like a fun idea.
Mike: thanks, Mike! Glad you liked it -- I'll post more when I have a chance. I still have another one or two Thor pages I did in two-tone I'm saving to post later. - 7/23/2007 4:02 PM
- Mike Thompson said...
Looking forward to seeing those, Mike! Thanks!
- SpaceJack said...
Those are cool! Makes me want to see some of my favourite old Kirby/Sinnott pages from the Fantastic Four re-inked by you :)
BTW I've been checking your blog regularly since I saw your stuff on DrawingBoard. I really enjoy it. Say, did you do the signs at Pages bookstore on Queen W? I could swear it looks like your style. - 7/24/2007 4:13 PM
- Kyu Shim said...
Awesome! Just loving the vitality of your inks. By the way, can't wait for your magnum opus. Tentative release date?
- DonaldHelloStudio said...
wow, michael, like it here!
really inspiring here with the 2color-schemes and those poppin´kirby-esque art around. keep on! greetings, donald. - 8/02/2007 8:23 AM
- Michael Cho said...
Mike Thompson: thanks, Mike! I'll post those when I can.
Spacejack: thanks, dude! I remember your work from the drawingboard too. As for re-inking the Kirby/Sinnott FFs -- those pages don't need ANY re-inking. They were perfect as they were! And regarding the Pages Bookstore signs, yep, I did the signs and signboard for Pages a while ago. If you check earlier entries on my blog, you'll find posts on the making of the signboard and some window displays for Pages.
Kyu: thanks for the support, buddy! As for the big book I'm working on...it'll come out when I'm ready and have a publisher lined up for it. I'm hoping for a release of summer next year.
Donaldhellostudio: thanks, dude! Glad you dropped by and found some art you liked. - 8/05/2007 7:26 PM
- Dan McDaid said...
You've done a terrific job on these Michael. For all my love of Kirby, I've never inked any of his work... must make up for that soon!
How can any comic book freak who can put pen or brush to paper resist trying to ink Kirby? Have taken a whack at it numerous times myself and while not doing too badly, I am humbled in my inadequacy and always have to bow before the masters; Sinnott, Giacoia and Royer. I do it again, though, not only hoping to do better, but because it's just too much freakin' fun!! Please consider this an expression of admiration and respect for your ink work as well.
Oh, that's just great! Someone else to aspire to!
Regards - 2/09/2009 8:54 PM
To me, after seeing Royer, Sinnott, Ayers, Stone, etc. ink Jack Kirby's pencils, the clear choice over all of those very good inkers was Vinnie Colletta. That's right, you heard correctly.
I have seen examples of Colletta's that were thick lined like the above named inkers but I have never-I repeat-NEVER-seen anyone who could duplicate Mr. Colletta's best fine line work.

Just how good is "Avatar?" During the banshee-hunting scene, when Jake Sully leapt from the floating mountain to a trailing vine, my acrophobia kicked in momentarily and I had to clutch my seat's armrest. From a technical filmmaking perspective, "Avatar" is that good.
However...I have a problem with the story.
For all its high-tech veneer, "Avatar" is an environmental anti-imperialist nativist/primitivist fantasy, translating everything that's politically correct into a scifi morality play. The film doesn't try to hide that. It thrusts it in your face. But as is the case with projects like this, the film simplifies way too much, and I'm not sure I like the underlying messages underneath it.
On the surface, "Avatar" seems to side with indigenous peoples, represented in the movie by the Navi. As presented, the primitive natives are morally superior to the rapacious earthmen, seen here to stand for today's corporations. If you want to take that stance, then fine. But if we use our history as template, the different Navi tribes would actually be at each others' throats, with the rapacious earthmen goading one side against another while mining the planet for the resources.
Oh, all right, it's a movie set on an alien world: so let's admit the myth of the alien monoculture (again). Who knows, right? But really, my first beef against "Avatar" is:
It is always some effin' enlightened WHITE DUDE who has to come and save the natives.
Can't we have natives who are capable of rising up and defeating their conquerors by themselves? How many times do we have to be fed this condescending crap? We've seen it in "Dances with Wolves." We've seen it in "The Last Samurai." If this is the message, I'll take superior firepower over moral superiority any day.
Another problem with "Avatar" is the pantheistic / immanentistic spirituality it promotes. Obviously this is the source of the Navi's morally superior (but tactically inferior) position. I'll let GK Chesteron argue against the principle of the Inner Light. My second beef with "Avatar" is:
Mysticism is fine so long as you can measure it.
Not only are the Navi morally superior, but the earth scientists have the measurements to show it! And this comes in the form of biological activity and the number of interconnections between the trees (much more than in the human brain!). Of course!
On one hand, "Avatar" admits mysticism for the Navi; but on the other hand, the mysticism becomes nothing more than physical phenomena. The Cameron giveth, the Cameron taketh away.
What if: what if anthropologists come across a tribe that worships trees? Is that a really valid worship? Or do the anthropologists smirk unless they find measurable proof that the trees really respond with biological signals? What if the tribe worships ancestors? Is that allowed? What if the tribe worships only one particular ancestor?
So in a nutshell, my problem with "Avatar" is that it's just another example of Hollywood hypocrisy, which is really just an extension of Western hypocrisy. It purports to show your native culture should be honored and respected, but only on its own terms.
Oh, and just one more problem with "Avatar:"
Avatar is a ripoff of "Fern Gully."

David Kovacs needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 422 designs submitted by 120 freelance designers.
AlphaGraphics, Inc.- Possible renaming AGdirect, AlphaDirect, AG360
Hello - This contest will run & a panel will provide feedback. Don't be discouraged by the lack of feedback to date. Eliminated designs were eliminated for 2 main reasons.
1 - designer did not understand we want to show evolution from printer to marketing i.e. designs with CMYK, tick marks, print images eliminated
2 - design unacceptable, no inspiration (font only), to far off mark (does not leverage heritage), designer didn't read brief (color choice)
Designs marked with one star are only to show that they were reviewed once. These were kept because the . . .
1 - were interesting candidates
2 - showed depth and or motion
AlphaGraphics is evolving from being solely production/execution‐oriented within the quick print category, to become a communications partner with their customers. The customer benefits of this partnership will include:
•High levels of service, quality, and responsiveness
•Efficiencies in marketing execution; centralized resource for creative development through print production
•The improved ability to attract more and better customers
•Consistency of materials and messages
•A trusted expert who extends the resources of your organization
•Greater ability to measure marketing effectiveness
This evolution will require that AG build credibility and trust with individuals responsible for marketing activities and budgets across a wide variety of organizations. AG must be more proactive and consultative with customers; from helping them identify ways to improve the printed materials they now produce, to providing overall communication strategies and implementing campaigns.
Target Audience(s)
Current AlphaGraphics customers: typically small and medium businesses who count on and trust AG with their tactical printing needs – small run brochures, sell sheets, forms, etc. There are some AG centers that have larger companies as clients, but again, the needs there are more execution‐oriented ("I need 2000 copies of this by tomorrow")
Potential AlphaGraphics customers: any business that has a printing or communications or marketing need is a potential customer of AG in its new incarnation. They likely currently think of AG as a print or copy shop.
AlphaGraphics franchisees (business center owners): while this group is not an "end user" that the new AG identity is aimed at, they are a key constituency. They are the ones who will be responsible for delivering on the new mission, vision and value proposition, and we need to keep in mind their sensitivity to major changes in their business model. We want to position the selling of communications offerings as an additional service line and a doable evolutionary change in their business.

wifi streak 7 Thu Apr 14 04:21:18 GMT 2011 - Apr 14, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh Already Offered: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Streak-Wi-Fi-Tablet-Gray/dp/B004QZASJ8
Where has the innovation gone in Dell laptops? Thu Apr 14 04:11:01 GMT 2011 - Apr 14, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh I definitely think the Studio and Studio XPS looks a lot better aesthetically than the XPS. Dell should have maintained the great design and looks, and just improved internals from there. Not build a new machine with high specs and then hastily through a fat, ugly body on it. XPS is simply too fat and unattractive, especially at that high price. Ordinary low-end consumers usually hold appearance as a important factor in purchasing.
SIMPLIFY. SIMPLIFY. SIMPLIFY. DELL WEBSITE. Wed Apr 13 22:44:33 GMT 2011 - Apr 13, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh Is Dell still bucket testing the new designs? It appears that the previous screenshot I had is not being used currently.
SIMPLIFY. SIMPLIFY. SIMPLIFY. DELL WEBSITE. Sat Mar 19 18:32:29 GMT 2011 - Mar 19, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh Now it would be great if some other pages follow suit and get simplified.
SIMPLIFY. SIMPLIFY. SIMPLIFY. DELL WEBSITE. Sat Mar 19 18:28:53 GMT 2011 - Mar 19, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh Thank you Dell for the recent Dell Home changes, Much nicer looking and easier to use:
THIN IS IN. GET THAT STRAIGHT DELL. Mon Feb 21 07:06:04 GMT 2011 - Feb 21, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh Everyone thank you for upranking, Dell has responded: "With the transition to Sandy Bridge technology, we chose to re-focus our efforts on incorporating this feedback into future thin and light products launching later this year. Stay tuned!" http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/20/dell-xps-14-discontinued-will-be-replaced-with-something-thinne/ Dell will be replacing the XPS 14 with a newer thinner laptop running Sandy Bridge and hopefully the same goes with the other XPS laptops. Thank You Dell.
THIN IS IN. GET THAT STRAIGHT DELL. Fri Feb 18 01:47:22 GMT 2011 - Feb 18, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh @retail_guy2009 exactly, Dell has attempted thin and pricey laptops (Adamo line) that was just as thin as Macbooks but lacked the performance and that's why they didnt sell so well. Dell should take the standard line of laptops and attempt to make them thinner, but not as thin as the Adamo line that they have to sacrifice performance for form.
THIN IS IN. GET THAT STRAIGHT DELL. Tue Feb 15 05:08:27 GMT 2011 - Feb 15, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh Then Dell should consider ATI graphics card options then. If they use ATI graphics options for desktops, they should use it for laptops too.
THIN IS IN. GET THAT STRAIGHT DELL. Tue Feb 08 05:50:59 GMT 2011 - Feb 8, 2011 Posted By: iamnotjamesh See what they are doing on design style: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/08/hps-pavilion-dv6-and-dv7-get-envy-like-design-and-features-g-s/ Just don't follow HP's low-quality hardware internals and you will have top-selling laptops.
Give us the option of buying recovery CD/DVD for Windows 7 Sun Apr 11 21:29:59 GMT 2010 - Apr 11, 2010 Posted By: iamnotjamesh Why not free? Dell used to offer it for free. Besides, you paid for the OS, you should deserve a recovery CD.

I write about entrepreneurs, small business owners & what drives them
What's the best way to handle a layoff, particularly in the first hours and days after you get the bad news? Many people react with depression and panic, racing around telling a story about their departure that makes them look bad, and then they start frantically answering online job ads. Kate Wendleton, founder and president of the Five O'Clock Club, a 32-year-old national career coaching organization based in New York, points out that fewer than 10% of job-seekers find work through ads. Here are Wendleton's tips on much better ways to handle a layoff.

See the elephant and all its meanings before Abundance closes
From wide-eyed dreams to unthinkable terrors
Jeff Smith 7 a.m., March 30
Councilmember Carl DeMaio raised $540,000 for his mayoral campaign during the month of June, making him the highest fundraiser so far. Earlier this month, assemblyman Nathan Fletcher revealed that his campaign had raised $300,000.
In a July 12 email, DeMaio announced the fundraising effort. According to his website, the $540,000 includes the $270,000 in matching funds that he donated to his own campaign.
"I'm up against the labor unions and special interest insiders who will be filling the campaign coffers of my opponents," stated DeMaio on his website. "That's why I asked San Diegans to partner with me to fix the mess at City Hall. I am overwhelmed and humbled by their response."
DeMaio says that 90 percent of the donations were from residents of San Diego County.
De Maio says these things. Has anyone verified what he says about the money he has raised? I would like independent corroboration. Trust but verify, that's my motto.
so we have another $540k of political baloney ads to look forward to?
Not as much as the bullshit that will be coming from the Dumanis camp shortly
"Not as much as the bullshit that will be coming from the Dumanis camp shortly"
too bad it does not make good organic variety, it could be put to some good use. ( although the stink is just as bad)
90% from San Diego COUNTY? How much has come from the CITY?
He states that special interest is stacking up against him. Well there Carl what is the Lincoln Club, T.J. Zane and the boys + the San Diego Taxpayers (Lani's Repub Club) mean? They aren't a special interest?
This election is going to be a bust for all. All cantidates stink on ice and will do nothing to improve life here.

If I put a 16 followed by 2 12s and plug in 2 heated buckets and 2 250w heat lamps the lamps will dim but if I reverse it and put the 16 last the lamps will not dim when everything is plugged in because the first 2 cords get more power to the last one than the smaller cord could get to the other 2 if reversed.
No, it really doesn't work that way. If you saw that in actual practice it was not because of the order of cords, but because of a bad connection someplace that was corrected when you swapped the cords around.
You can model the three cords as three resistances in series going to the load, and three resistances in series completing the circuit back to the power supply. It doesn't matter what order you put the resistances in, the sum of the resistances is always the same and the sum of the resulting voltage drops is always the same. You cannot reduce the total voltage drop by rearranging the cords.

Hamilton Beach Q2 Net Falls on One-Time Charge
August 19, 2013,
CLEVELAND-A $2.3 million charge sent Hamilton Beach's second-quarter net income downward by 10.3 percent, to $2 million.
The charge was related to an estimate for an environmental liability at the housewares brand's facility in Picton, Ontario, Canada. Absent that charge, according to a statement from parent company NACCO Industries, Hamilton Beach's net increased in the quarter, although the company didn't specify by how much.
Net sales in the quarter, which ended on June 30, benefited from a gain in sales of products at higher price points, chiefly in the U.S. market. Sales were up 3.6 percent to $114.7 million. Increased expenses from both the operating and advertising side partially offset this increase.
Looking ahead, NACCO said Hamilton Beach's sales are expected to grow moderately in 2013's second half, given the continued economic struggles among the brand's middle-market consumers, which are its target customers. The company expects the brand's The Scoop, the Two-Way Brewer and the Durathon, all introduced in late 2011, to gain market share, along with the FlexBrew, which was debuted late last year.
In addition, the brand has hopes for the Breakfast Sandwich Market, introduced earlier this year. "These products, as well as other new product introductions in the pipeline for 2013, are expected to increase both revenues and operating profit," NACCO said.

How To Record the Purchase or Redemption of a US Savings Bond
If you use the cash method of accounting, as most individual taxpayers do, you generally report the interest on U.S. savings bonds when you receive it. Use the Income dialog to record the remainder of the proceeds as interest income.
If you use the accrual method of accounting, you must report interest on U.S. savings bonds each year as it accrues. For details, see zero-coupon bonds.
If you are using What Should I Sell to evaluate whether a U.S. savings bond should be cashed in early, make sure you have entered the savings bond interest in the penalties field of the Transaction Fees dialog for the account from which you purchased the bond. For example if a U.S. Series I Savings Bond pays 5% interest, then cashing it in early would cost you the most recent six month's interest (5% in this case).
Recording a transaction in Quicken does not execute a real-world trade, transfer, or other transaction. Contact your broker to execute trades or transfers, and then manually record the transactions in Quicken-better yet, download them directly from your participating financial institution.

Christy Carlson Romano, a former Disney star, married her boyfriend Brendan Rooney, at a mountain castle in Canada.
Formerly an actress on "Kim Possible" and "Even Stevens," Romano's wedding happened on New Year's Eve at the Fairmont Banff Springs in Banff, Alberta, Canada (as reported by Us Weekly). The site is technically a hotel but mimics a European castle, surrounded by mountains. Romano had first visited the site as a child when performing in a stage version of "The Sound of Music."
Romano and Rooney first met when both were students at Columbia University in New York back in 2011. A double major in Film and Women's Studies, Romano will return to that school to finish her degree.
For the NYE wedding, the bride and groom wore Lazaro and Hugo Boss, respectively.

He was 75 and received the Jnanpith Award for 2008 in September last year. Best known for having written songs like Dil cheez kya hai aap meri jaan lijiye, In aakhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaron hain from Umrao Jaan, his last rites will be performed in his home town. Shahryar was born June 16, 1936, in a village named Anwalla in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. He received his early education at Bulandshahar and then studied at Aligarh Muslim University. He was appointed as a lecturer in Urdu at Aligarh Muslim University in 1986 and served until in 1996 he retired as chairman of the Urdu Department of the University. We hope and pray that his noble soul rests in peace.

Cytochromes are iron containing hemeproteins central to which are heme groups that are primarily responsible for the generation of ATP via electron transport.[citation needed]
They are found either as monomeric proteins (e.g., cytochrome c) or as subunits of larger enzymatic complexes that catalyze redox reactions.[citation needed]
Cytochromes were initially described in 1884 by MacMunn as respiratory pigments (myohematin or histohematin).[1] In the 1920s, Keilin rediscovered these respiratory pigments and named them the cytochromes, or "cellular pigments", and classified these heme proteins, on the basis of the position of their lowest energy absorption band in the reduced state, as cytochromes a (605 nm), b (~565 nm), and c (550 nm). The ultra-violet (UV) to visible spectroscopic signatures of hemes are still used to identify heme type from the reduced bis-pyridine-ligated state, i.e., the pyridine hemochrome method. Within each class, cytochrome a, b, or c, early cytochromes are numbered consecutively, e.g. cyt c, cyt c1, and cyt c2, with more recent examples designated by their reduced state R-band maximum, e.g. cyt c559.[2]
Structure and function[edit]
The heme group is a highly conjugated ring system (which allows its electrons to be very mobile) surrounding a metal ion, which readily interconverts between the oxidation states. For many cytochromes, the metal ion present is that of iron, which interconverts between Fe2+ (reduced) and Fe3+ (oxidized) states (electron-transfer processes)[citation needed]. Cytochromes are, thus, capable of performing oxidation and reduction. Because the cytochromes (as well as other complexes) are held within membranes in an organized way, the redox reactions are carried out in the proper sequence for maximum efficiency.[citation needed]
In the process of oxidative phosphorylation, which is the principal energy-generating process undertaken by organisms, other membrane-bound and -soluble complexes and cofactors are involved in the chain of redox reactions, with the additional net effect that protons (H+) are transported across the mitochondrial inner membrane[citation needed]. The resulting transmembrane proton gradient (protonmotive force) is used to generate ATP, which is the universal chemical energy currency of life. ATP is consumed to drive cellular processes that require energy (such as synthesis of macromolecules, active transport of molecules across the membrane, and assembly of flagella).[citation needed]
Several kinds of cytochrome exist and can be distinguished by spectroscopy, exact structure of the heme group, inhibitor sensitivity, and reduction potential.[citation needed]
Three types of cytochrome are distinguished by their prosthetic groups:
Type | prosthetic group |
Cytochrome a | heme a |
Cytochrome b | heme b |
Cytochrome d | tetrapyrrolic chelate of iron[3] |
The definition of cytochrome c is not defined in terms of the heme group.[4] There is no "cytochrome e," but there is a cytochrome f, which is often considered[by whom?] a type of cytochrome c.[5]
In mitochondria and chloroplasts, these cytochromes are often combined in electron transport and related metabolic pathways:[citation needed]
Cytochromes | Combination |
a and a3 | Cytochrome c oxidase ("Complex IV") with electrons delivered to complex by soluble cytochrome c (hence the name) |
b and c1 | Coenzyme Q - cytochrome c reductase ("Complex III") |
b6 and f | Plastoquinol—plastocyanin reductase |
A completely distinct family of CCox is known as the cytochrome P450 oxidases, so named for the characteristic Soret peak formed by absorbance of light at wavelengths near 450 nm when the heme iron is reduced (with sodium dithionite) and complexed to carbon monoxide. These enzymes are primarily involved in steroidogenesis and detoxification.[citation needed]

Whicker: Ducks new defenseman's been around
ANAHEIM – He has been on magazine covers that have nothing to do with sports, and he has been on waivers, unclaimed.
He has been in close proximity with the WWE's John Cena and The Big Show, and he has been on the same team with Scott Niedermayer.
That's a lot of "has been."
It was the one category Sheldon Souray resisted. He spent the entire 2010-11 season in Hershey, Pa., which is a big deal if you're in the American Hockey League, but not a box of chocolates if you've been a 26-goal scorer for Montreal.
He was 34 at the time.
"There's a difference in the lifestyles," Souray recalled Monday at Honda Center. "You're still playing hockey, still getting paid. It was fun to see the young guys, so enthusiastic to make the next jump. One guy was driving around in a $1,500 car with the muffler about to fall off. There was something raw about it.
"But when you get back up here, the excuses are taken out of it. You don't have 'bus legs.' You got to the city you're playing in, the night before, not that day. It eliminates excuses."
The Ducks signed Souray on Sunday, for three years, to disperse their own excuses.
Souray earned that commitment with a solid comeback season in Dallas. In doing so he reminded the NHL that there are comparatively few 6-foot-4, 237-pound defensemen with an armor-busting shot from the power-play point.
The Ducks signed Souray and Bryan Allen, the 6-foot-4 defenseman from Carolina, to snatch some bodies from the front of Jonas Hiller's net and to win the puck scrums they have lost for the past two years.
"Their mantra is to be hard to play against," Souray said, 'and I think they want to get back to that."
But the Ducks also want some authoritative voices, some folks who will call out the motivationally challenged. A 22-year-old, unless he is Sidney Crosby, can't do that.
A survivor can.
Souray has been on the cover of Maxim and, when he was in Sweden during an NHL lockout, wrote a column for Cosmpolitan. His marriage to "Baywatch" star Angelica Bridges ended publicly, and not prettily, and he spent lonely years in Montreal and Edmonton away from his two daughters.
He moved to L.A. in 2001 and now lives in Malibu. "Being there for them, it's going to be one big thing not to worry about during the season," he said. "Coordinating everything while playing in Canada, dealing with the borders....It's been a hassle."
Souray showed up Monday with Kelly Kelly, who has also appeared in the pages of Maxim and, as if you didn't know, was the WWE Divas champion for a while last year.
Kelly and Souray exchanged a smooch after her victory over Beth Phoenix last year, which, until June 11, was probably the top highlight involving a hockey player in Staples Center history.
"When I got to Montreal I just did everything that was asked of me," Souray said. "Having fun, not knowing any better. You learn you're getting those opportunities because you're a hockey player. You'd better take care of business.
"But I'm thankful I grew up in the New Jersey organization. You had Scott Niedermayer, Scott Stevens, Slava Fetisov...It was like going to Harvard for a defenseman, before you go to high school. You learn what's required to be a good teammate. It wasn't a country club."
Pretty heady stuff for a guy who grew up in Fishing Lake, Alberta, population 453, settled by the Metis, an aboriginal group.
Souray expected to solidify his career when Edmonton called in 2007. Instead he had only one healthy season in three, and cited Oilers management for rushing him back into play before his shoulder healed.
The Oilers responded by loaning him to Washington's Hershey club, after he cleared waivers twice. Thus he served out the end of a five-year, $27 million deal in the minor leagues.
"If that was punishment, so be it. It didn't kill me," he said. "I was able to prove myself right, not prove anyone wrong."
He came to Dallas and, despite frequent wrist injuries, showed the massive slap shot that busted up the Kings' Colin Fraser when he tried to block it in January.
Ducks GM Bob Murray got the thumbs-up on Souray from Saku Koivu, who was Montreal's captain. And when Souray's roads take uncomfortable curves, he remembers the days of rehabbing his wrist in Montreal, with Koivu right beside him. Koivu was coming back from non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
"He was an inspiration," Souray said. "His fight was so much more real-life than mine. I said, if this guy's coming back, I know I'm going to be playing."
He has been.

Second arrest made in woman's slaying
A second man is suspected of being behind the killing of a Santa Ana woman, whose body was found under a Newport Beach bridge earlier this month, according to court records.
Investigators also suspect that man shot a second woman in the face in Santa Ana, just hours before the body of Nancy Hammour was found face down under the Bay Bridge on Sept. 2, according to court documents.
Irvin Tellez, a man with a record of vehicle thefts and drug convictions, has been charged in both shootings, according to court records.
Few details have been released regarding the attacks on the women, but law enforcement officials believe the shootings were connected and said Santa Ana police worked alongside Newport Beach police in the investigation.
Four days after Hammour's body was found, Newport Beach police announced they had taken 40-year-old Jaime Prieto Rocha into custody in connection with the shooting, but they gave no details on what may have prompted the killing.
About three hours before Hammour's body was found, Santa Ana officers had also been called to the 2100 block of South Cedar Street, where witnesses said a 31-year-old woman was talking on the phone when a man walked up to her and shot her in the face.
The woman was critically injured and taken to Western Medical Center Santa Ana, where she underwent surgery.
Jennifer Manzella, spokeswoman for the Newport Beach Police Department, said the department would release no more information about the case.
Tellez has been charged with killing Hammour and attempting to kill the 31-year-old woman in Santa Ana, according to records. He is also facing sentencing enhancements of discharging a firearm.
"We do believe they're connected in some way," Santa Ana Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
What prompted the two shootings, however, remained muddled after Hammour's name was included in one of 26 indictments unsealed earlier this week targeting the Mexican Mafia and several associates in Orange County.
According to one of several federal cases that were unsealed in connection with the investigation and raid Tuesday dubbed Operation Smokin' Aces, Hammour was facing charges of distribution of drugs. The documents said she sold methamphetamine to a confidential informant on Feb. 17, 2012.
Hammour was also charged with ordering drugs from another defendant.
The multiple indictments were part of a lengthy investigation launched by the Santa Ana Gang Task Force aimed at weakening the grip of Orange County's Mexican Mafia on local gangs.
Bertagna said Hammour's death, however, was not linked to the charges she was facing in federal court.
In previous interviews, family members said Hammour had struggled for years with addiction. She planned to meet relatives to look for an apartment and work to regain custody of her two children.
Tellez, in custody in county jail in lieu of $1 million bail, is expected to appear in court for an arraignment Oct. 11.
