When it comes to shopping, seeking out accessories can be especially fun. Size and fit issues that arise with clothing often aren't an issue, and you can also wear the same pieces day after day without looking like a hobo. Here are some of the accessories highlights from our forum shopaholics this week, with a couple swimwear items thrown in for good measure.

Arsenal moved into the semi-finals of the Carling Cup with a 2-0 victory over Wigan at a freezing Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners missed several good chances before they took the lead on the stroke of half-time through an own-goal from Latics skipper Antolin Alcaraz.
Wigan lost Victor Moses to a suspected broken wrist and Nicklas Bendtner's close-range effort on 67 minutes settled matters.

What are the real life consequences of legalizing marijuana?
Public opinion now favors legalization of marijuana. Last March the Pew Research Center conducted a poll and found that for the first time in more than four decades, a majority of Americans favor legalizing the use of marijuana; 52 percent say that the use of marijuana should be made legal while 45 percent say it should not.
Connecticut recently joined the growing list of states that have legalized marijuana for medical use. By the spring of 2014, patients in Connecticut will be able to buy marijuana in licensed dispensaries. Connecticut has also decriminalized marijuana; possession of a half-ounce or less is a civil violation.
Washington and Colorado have legalized marijuana for adult use. Can Connecticut be far behind?
For every argument in favor of legalization, there are arguments against it.
Some argue that legalizing marijuana would lower the criminal impact. Others argue that putting marijuana in the hands of corporations -- who market to teens -- would add to growing substance abuse among our youth. As the hot topic of marijuana grows, the amount of available information keeps on growing, however there is not a lot of consistency.
Because this is such an important issue with far reaching ramifications for our communities, the Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism (MCCA) is sponsoring a free and open debate: Pot or Not. This debate will provide an opportunity for students, educators, parents, civic leaders, healthcare professionals, law enforcement, social workers, mental health care professionals, and business owners, to hear both sides of this important issue.
The debate will take place on Oct. 30 at the Ives Concert Hall, Western Connecticut State University at 7 p.m. State Rep. Terrie Wood will moderate the debate between Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds and Erik Williams.
Rep. Wood is serving her third term representing Darien and Norwalk. She currently serves as ranking member on the Human Services committee, and also serves on the Regulations Review and Appropriations committees. She served on the Regulations Review Committee for Medical Marijuana in the state of Connecticut.
Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds is the Executive Director of the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD). He has authored more than 200 news and op-ed articles and is consistently used as an expert source for substance abuse, addiction, HIV/AIDS and human/civil rights information by local and national radio, television, Internet and print outlets.
Erik Williams is the Executive Director of Connecticut NORML. He has 20-plus years in political consulting, public and community relations, and legislative experience nationally, and is the founder and principal at Campaigns Won. He played a leading role in drafting CT PA 12-55, and securing its passage. He has worked on marijuana reform issues throughout the country.
I urge all members of the community to attend this public forum to broaden their knowledge on this important issue and be a part of the conversation. For more information on Pot or Not go to: mccaonline.com.
Lee Bodkin is director of communications for the Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism and is a resident of Redding.

One aspect of life that inevitably crops up in reading or writing historical fiction is religion, the beliefs, practices and rituals of faith in the world and time surrounding the characters. Many writers manage to avoid the religious aspects of life in their work, and who can blame them? Religion adds a whole other layer to a story that could threaten to overtake things. But why would one want to ignore such a deep and personal connection to a place and time, a connection that could draw the reader closer to the people populating a particular age? It may be easier to ignore religion but the story will definitely be lacking in a sense.
Part of the problem is that many of the people inhabiting this modern, quick-paced world of ours have lost touch and can not relate to the feelings of faith that were felt by our ancestors and which were, for the most part, part of the every day.
This might not apply so much to religions that are still in strong existence to this day such as Hinduism, Judaism, and Buddhism or the younger religions of Christianity and Islam - when writing about these, the problem for the writer is more about being accurate and careful not to offend anyone simply because they still have large followings. There should always be a deep respect for people's beliefs.
When writing about the ancient polytheistic religions of Greece, Rome and Egypt there is a two-part conundrum. Firstly, depending on the sources available, it might not be very easy to attain a level of accuracy regarding a particular religion. Secondly, how can a writer overcome the barrier that is the modern mind in order to draw a reader in and make it believable?
On the first point, research is essential as well as visiting the sites about which you are writing. If written sources are scant, then going to a place to "feel the vibe" can sometimes help to give texture to your scenes. The ancient religions had been around for much longer than, say, Christianity and Islam have to date. The faith of many thousands (millions?) of believers over the centuries leaves an indelible, if not intangible, mark on a place. In my own experience, the sanctuaries of Olympia, Delphi and Elefsis in Greece, or even the temples of the Forum Romanum in Rome still resonate with the faith of ages and in some of these spots flowers are still laid for the powers that were. However, when the sources regarding religious practices are scant and when it is impossible to visit a site, it is the writer's job to fill in the gaps as best he or she can. This can be an extremely fun exercise and usually, your characters will help you along.
The second part of the conundrum, of drawing in modern readers to make your characters' religion believable, is slightly more tricky. For many, the past is the past and as such has no legitimacy, especially ancient religions - although, those who think like this will probably not be reading historical fiction. Sadly there is a degree of arrogance in the modern mindset that tends to dismiss ancient, near extinct, religious beliefs as false and completely misguided. This is an unfortunate and close-minded point of view because it closes people off to understanding the past and well, exprencing some very exciting stories that in fact influenced and shaped the world we live in.
One thing about ancient religions is that they were very human religions with gods and goddesses that represented all that was beautiful and terrible in humanity be it Love, or War, Wisdom or Vengeance. There was a god or goddess for every aspect of life, every emotion, and as a result the gods and goddesses were an influence on and a part of everyday life. You can see it in ancient art and architecture, in a roughly carved figurine gathering dust in the corner of a museum, the wind-worn columns of temple ruins or a few lines from a sacred hymn whose utterance carried great weight long ago.
A writer should not shy from religion, the way we so often do in conversation these days, but rather show it for all that it is, drawing in the reader to open their mind and eyes and make the characters and story come to life in an infinitely more human way.

Pinnacle Park Homes Offers New Lending Program
February 25, 2011 by Justin Leighty - () Comments Off on Pinnacle Park Homes Offers New Lending Program
Park model builder Pinnacle Park Homes has secured a new commercial lending program.
"Financing has been a huge obstacle for many of our campground owners and now we have been fortunate to secure a source that can offer rates as low as 6.99%," Andy Davis, sales manager for the Ochlocknee, Ga.-based builder, stated in a news release. "We are very excited to be able to offer this program, as we know rental cabins are the future for campgrounds. We can now obtain same day approvals and application only approvals up to $75,000."
He continued, "This is going to be a great tool to allow campgrounds to get their cabins now and pay for them over time at a great rate, which simply means more profit from day one. Previously, if financing was obtained the rate was much higher, the process much slower and required extensive documentation."
This program is specifically designed for those campgrounds that have been in business for four or more years as a reward for having tightened their belts and hung on during these trying economic times, he added.
"This certainly has the potential to increase our sales while at the same time producing more income for campground owners and with Spring right around the corner this could not have come at a better time," Davis concluded.
For more information contact Pinnacle Park Homes at (866) 574-5159 or visit them on the web at www.pinnacleparkhomes.com.

Halloween Party 1953 Style
I love this video and how into Halloween the father is. If it had been of my family when I was a child, the scenes would have been "Here comes Dad, and boy is he furious everyone is making a mess in the living room and blocking the tv. 'Shoo!' he says."
The dog part is pretty accurate though.
Theme for your next halloween
Theme for your next halloween party?
This was AWESOMELY retro
I love these retro films but I've never seen a Halloween one. WOW. Very awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Love these old retro films!!!
Love these old retro films!!! Where do find such awesome stuff? Thank you for sharing!

Ever wonder if life was really that innocent looking? I kept expecting Jason Voorhees to pop out and start making sushi of everyone. LOL!

Another bad mood. I got home 45 minutes later than I should have but I still wanted to get this post up. Yesterday I decided I needed another sparkly manicure to cheer me up. I decided on China Glaze Shower Together, which is completely gorgeous all on its own. I was almost a little sad to cover it up. It's a bright blue creme with a little green thrown in...so I guess it's kind of aqua. Check it out. Again, it was overcast when I took these pictures.
It's nice, isn't it? I really like it. More of a summer color. It was part of the 2008 spring collection, I believe. You know, I've decided that China Glaze is my favorite nail polish brand. I don't really have too much, but their range of colors is incredible and the formula is always good if not great. I used to consider OPI my favey-fave, but I've been less than impressed lately, as I've said.
Anyway, over Shower Together I added my trusty "Halloween" bar glitter from Wet n Wild, Black Magic.
I like this, but I think I may have preferred it sans glitter. Oh well. I'm still wearing this combination, but I'm definitely redoing my nails tomorrow. I'm still craving some sort of sparkles. Betsy and I have been doing a lot of blue lately. Maybe it's something in the air. I'm not usually a blue lover.
Until tomorrow!

Ross Gaudet's goal with 2:12 left in overtime led the No. 15 Boston University men's hockey team past No. 17 Cornell, 2-1, last night in the third installment of Red Hot Hockey at Madison Square Garden.
The junior forward's first goal of the season came from a nifty redirection of a Max Nicastro shot from the point. Sophomore defenseman Adam Clendening also notched his first goal of the season to open the scoring at the 11:07 mark of the first period.
Senior goaltender Kieran Millan made 23 saves, including a crucial save in overtime, for his fifth win.
The contest was played in front of a sellout crowd of 18,200. BU moved to 2-0-1 all-time at Red Hot Hockey.

Close behind his four-year rotation scheme, he lists timing, fertility, disease control, irrigation and minimum-tillage as key ingredients for consistent yields.
It's an efficient system, he says, efficient enough to earn Neitsch the 2003 Peanut Profitability Award for the Southwest region.
Neitsch raises peanuts, cotton, small grains and forage crops in Gaines County, Texas, and says that crop mix provides a good base for a four-year rotation.
"I plant wheat, rye and hay grazer and rotate peanuts and cotton into the mix. I used to plant cotton three straight years and then peanuts, but cotton yields improve with rotation, too. Peanuts and cotton share some diseases, especially pythium and rhyzoctonia. Rotation helps limit infection."
Doing things on time also plays a significant role in high yields, Neitsch says. "When peanuts need water, they need it now. When they need nutrients, they need it now. When they need an insecticide, a fungicide or herbicide applied, they need it now, not next week. We have to treat for weeds, insects and disease infestations before we get significant damage.
"Whether it's a pesticide spray, fertilizer application, irrigation, planting, or harvesting, delays in peanut production can be costly."
He says a peanut plant is like an animal. "It's sensitive to needs for water, food and medicine to cure or prevent diseases."
Wet weather delayed harvest last fall and Neitsch was a bit concerned that late digging might cut yields. "Peanuts are sensitive to an optimal harvest time," he says. "Waiting too long may result in significant losses."
He got by, but he's cautious about scheduling harvest. It begins with timely planting. Neitsch prefers to plant by the last week in April and by mid-September he starts pulling peanuts to gauge maturity. "I pull some vines along all season to check for diseases and pod fill, but in late September, I need to know how close we are to digging."
He uses the hull-scrape method to check maturity and likes to dig when 80 percent to 85 percent of the peanuts reach the black hull category. "I never get as many as I want to fall into that range and if I have immature fields, I'll wait to dig. But we don't wait too long and risk freeze damage."
By October he's keeping a close eye on weather patterns. "If we have a forecast for a lot of warm, dry days, I'll let an immature field fill out a little more. Planting to harvest usually runs 160 to 170 days. When peanuts are mature, I dig as soon as possible."
Neitsch says harvest losses can be significant, 10 percent to 20 percent under abnormal conditions, substantially more with severe weather or disease problems.
Irrigation timing also makes a big difference in yield potential. All but one of Neitsch's systems are LEPA, spray units. He says drag hoses do not provide the consistency he wants. "Some years dragging hoses works well and some years it doesn't. High temperatures and drought index play roles in irrigation efficiency, he says.
He also believes nutrients are more available to plants with a sprinkler system.
He likes to have adequate moisture available early, just after emergence. "If we have good moisture in the soil profile, we may cut back a little, but if it's hot and dry, young plants will not do well without irrigation."
He says water is a limiting factor throughout most of the West Texas peanut region so he's careful not to waste it. "We give our wells as much rest as possible. We need to provide plenty of water during heavy fruiting, especially if conditions are hot and dry. I like to make at least one, 1-inch application a week beginning at pre-bloom. Bloom, pegging, and vine growth are peak water demand periods, so we may increase frequency. During fruiting and pod set, I may run the system every four or five days. If I wait more than five or six days between applications, I'll see crop damage, especially with 100-degree to 105-degree days."
He says peanuts can recover from some drought stress, "but it's not beneficial to yield. We lose something."
Disease pressure also requires prompt attention. "We spray for leafspot only as needed and that's seldom," Neitsch says. "Rhyzoctonia and pythium are more common."
He uses Folicur and Abound. "Folicur does a good job as a foliar treatment. Abound is a good bet for pythium, which is a problem in some fields."
He says if a farmer waters peanuts enough to make good yields, conditions will be conducive for pythium.
"Normally, I'll get by with one full rate of Abound to keep fields clear of pod rot. Fields with low spots or more pythium pressure may need a shot of Ridomil."
Neitsch says even in arid West Texas conditions any farmer who pumps water every four or five days will eventually get some pod rot pressure. "It pays to know field history. If we see just a little, we'll treat it."
Neitsch says peanut fertility poses some interesting questions. "I've seen a number of different fertility levels in peanut fields and no difference in yield, even in the check plot."
He usually adds 120 units of nitrogen, 60 units of phosphorus, no potassium and 15 to 20 units of sulfur. "I'll leave out a spot as a check and can see no yield difference. I'm convinced that peanut fertility is not as important as we think. And if the plant is not using it, we're wasting it."
But that's where the head scratching starts. Neitsch is not comfortable leaving nutrients out of his peanuts and figures that maintaining a uniform fertility program across all his fields keeps levels up for subsequent crops.
"If the peanuts don't need it, it's still available for the cotton," he says. "I'd be afraid to grow a crop without any fertilizer. One of my goals is to maintain a balanced fertilizer program and I hate to deplete nutrients out of the soil. When it's depleted, we will not make as good a crop after a year, even with added fertilizer, and it takes a while to replace nutrients."
He sees advantages with nitrogen and uses anhydrous when possible.
"I can always tell where I have application problems with anhydrous," he says. "I'll see yellow plants in poorer soils, but may see no difference on better land."
He likes minimum-till peanuts. "With reduced tillage I can produce a better yield than in conventional systems and with less water and wind erosion."
He likes to plant peanuts into wheat stubble. "I harvest wheat, leave the land out during the summer and plant peanuts into standing stubble the next spring. That's ideal. I also plant rye or wheat as a cover crop, terminate it and plant into the residue."
He says after he plants peanuts the next time a plow comes through will be to dig them.
Excellent herbicides, he says, makes reduced-tillage peanuts feasible. "We get good weed control so there's no need to plow," he says.
He uses Prowl pre-plant. He'll also use Cadre for purple nutsedge and morningglory problems.
When he has conventional peanuts, as he does this year because he had ground that needed deep breaking, he incorporates a yellow herbicide. "I'll use Sonolan or Prowl. I don't want anything too hot that might injure young peanuts."
He applies Pursuit after cracking or at early emergence and then again two weeks later, before bloom. He takes care of escapes with 2-4,DB.
Neitsch says 2002 was the best of the 23 crops he's made since he started farming in Gaines County. "I've had fields that produced more than 6,000 pounds per acre before and I even had one that made 7,000 pounds of Virginias one year, but I've never averaged three tons over the entire acreage before (6,640, to be exact). It was a good year."
He says growers who irrigate peanuts have to make at least two tons to make a profit. "Anything less and it's hard to make any money. Yields as low as 3,600 pounds lose money."
He says the new peanut program will work well for his operation. He had quota peanuts before, some that he bought and some he leased every year. He figures cost of the quota ran about $200 per ton per year, about the difference in price supports compared to the old program.
"We had a bigger risk with quota peanuts," he says. "We had a lot invested and we couldn't give them anything but our top priority."
He's still convinced that cutting corners on peanut production is a false economy. "If we had not made good yields the past few years we would have been in trouble," he says.
He doesn't take all the credit, however. "We've been blessed with good yields and I don't take credit for it. The good Lord watches over me."
He also credits full-time employee Ben Teicheroeb. "Ben's been with me for 11 years and he knows peanuts. He's patient and understanding about production problems and timing. He also takes a lot of pride in building equipment we need. He made a super-hopper that replaces a lot of small carts at harvest time."
Neitsch also credits his wife Cynthia. "She takes care of all the business and leaves me free to do the scouting, schedule irrigation and other on-farm management chores. This is a pretty good example of a working family farm."

Latest Reviews for The Lion King
Did you see this?
Tell us what you think!
My 47th Birthday Weekend 10/21/17
I enjoyed the entire musical. From the beginning to the end I was on the end of my seat the entire time. It was not one boring moment I was never lost. Awesome Awesome. I will definitely see it again. This definitely went on one of my favorite birthdays list. I love the movie the soundtrack and now the musical.
Written on October, 22nd 2017
Creative and spectacular performance. Everything from the detailed costumes to the passionate and energetic actors, this show was great. It was comedic too, something I wasnt expecting. It is a very well put together play with awesome effects. I would definitely reccomend if you're children like Lion King. Great show.
Written on December, 30th 2016
I took my 8 year old daughter to see the show. It was amazing. The cast was excellent. The way the theatre transformed after different scenes was breathtaking. The entire story was captivating. We never felt bored or lost. From the opening to closing scene we were at the edge of our seats. My gosh I never experienced anything like this before. I would encourge every and anyone to see this show. It was such an amazing experience that my daughter & I decided to see atleast 2 broadway shows a year. The Lion King will always be special to us. Everyone involved in this spectacular production should be proud.

Amazing performance
This was a 5 star musical the amazing costumes and it's music was great!!!

Visually Outstanding
What makes this show special is the stage set designs and the costumes and all the visual elements. Unlike most other shows where costumes and stage sets are two separate categories, there is a blend in the stage set and the costumes in the show. The puppet like figures that are in the shape of the animals controlled by the actors on stage definitely contribute to the visual elements of the show. I had the chance to see the production at rear mezzanie seats last summer and it was definitely worth it. The characters and costumes along with the beautiful stage sets really does bring together the safari world and from far away, everything looks like real animals! It is a perfect combination of art, entertainment and music :) Because Lion King is able to bring all these three elements together, it becomes a great show. It's also a great show to watch with Family and Children especially when the cartoon that children love is brought live at a whole new dimension. It is also a great show for children because it really teaches the value of family and the importance of having parents in our lives which is of course no other than Walt Disney's trait. Because the show stays loyal to this trait, the show becomes suitable for everyone. I best recommend front mezzanie seats for those of you on a low budget. It is affordable and yet you can see the entire show as if you are in the safari itself

Excellent! Highly recommended! Wonderful for all ages!
Excellent! Wonderful!
Great music. Amazingly creative puppetry. Beautiful stage set. Amazing how they were able to pull this African Savannah setting off on a stage! Beautiful use of all African culture, wardrobe, art and music.
The acting is over the top. The show takes place not only on the stage but all around you at times and even over your head. A completely amazing experience. Highly recommended. Went to see it twice! It was THAT good!
Worth every cent!

awesome show!
This show was absolutely awesome!!!!!! I had seen it 7 or 8 years ago and I've been wanting to see it again for a while. I finally went and it was well worth it. All the costumes and sets were out of this world! (My favorite costumes were the cheetah, elephant, and Scar.) this show is awesome for all ages - not just little kids. it's better if you know the movie before but you dont need to. in a nut shell, out of the 10 broadway shows i saw, the lion king is definitely up there even though i loved all of them:) its a must see for everyone!!! theres a good reason all the shows are sold out!

That being said, right now the only source of UltraHD material is streaming, which means it comes from the TV's own internal streaming apps, so then it has no such limitations.
If you do care about UltraHD Blu-ray next year or whenever, it is expected that the nicer players will have dual HDMI outputs, one exclusively for audio, and then one for video. This would let you connect the video directly to the Vizio's port that's HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 compliant, and then with a second HDMI cable send the audio to the X4000.

This is a little annoying problem I've got: when I'm logged in here, and click on a post to read it, it's in complete dissorder. The first message is not always the one from the person who created the thread, so I don't know what the original question was. This only happens when I'm logged in, so I've got to log out if I want to read the question. So, am I just stupid and missed some option or does any one else got this problem?

Aug 7, '12Quote from Esme12Welll, it was more of a joke than anything, but since you brought it up - I didn't have kids, and I'm not responsible for anyone else's unless they're wearing an arm band with a bar code on it!I think we need to value all life and whether you "know them" or not...... human life should be valued. When I had children, I made the decision to be responsible for another human life....at all costs, for the rest of my life.
Aug 7, '12Quote from redhead_NURSE98!No one is asking you to be responsible for their children......I was asking for you to walk a moment in someone else's shoes. Have empathy.Well, it was more of a joke than anything, but since you brought it up - I didn't have kids, and I'm not responsible for anyone Else's unless they're wearing an arm band with a bar code on it!
To tell a parent you don't value their child's life, whether or not it's a joke....is like yelling fire in a crowded theater......somehow it's just wrong.
But, we are both entitled to our opinions as long as we voice them politely.
Again......the original post is about the legality of mandatory work orders in a disaster situation which I believe we have answered that it is legal for one's employer to mandate their employees to work in a disaster situation and whether her refusal will result in termination.
I believe those questions were answered. Let's stay on topic...or the thread will be closed for staff reviewLast edit by Esme12 on Aug 7, '12
Aug 8, '12Isn't also somehow wrong to state your kids are more important than anything else. If we have to be empathic, we should be empathetic all. I mean the basic point the OP had was she felt it unfair that she had to risk harm and discomfort when others did not though the selection criteria was different.
The more replies I read to this topic the more I lean to the OP's side. I just assume that most people were like myself and had a sense of duty that if disaster struck and I had a useful skill to offer that I would instead of just hunkering down with my husband.
Incidently I have a 3 month food supply, can spin, weave and sew, drive a horse and carriage so in case of an appolacyse I'm set ;0
Aug 8, '12Quote from redhead_NURSE98!What in the world does that have to do with anything? Some people say they'd stay in an emergency. Some people say they'd go home to their kids. I'm pretty sure nobody said they'd send you home to take care of their kids.
Welll, it was more of a joke than anything, but since you brought it up - I didn't have kids, and I'm not responsible for anyone else's unless they're wearing an arm band with a bar code on it!
Aug 8, '12It's an indirect responsibility. Person A leaves to go look after their kids so that means Person B has to stay.
Aug 8, '12Quote from Piglet08The superbowl gets put on the "holiday" rotation? OMG, I've seen it all now.We now have a comprehensive holiday schedule on a three-year rotation. It includes Super Bowl Sunday, Halloween, thanksgiving eve, easter eve, etc. Any "holiday" that is hard to staff. We know three years running which shifts we're going to be on. We're free to trade if we can find someone to do so with.
Not too many holidays I care about. I do love fireworks, tho. ( I was ever so lucky that I was on call 4th of July and got to see them with fam, and then my phone buzzed that they needed me and I skittered on in. Perfect timing.) The feasting events can be rescheduled. And as you said, little kids don't know and bigger kids can learn there are ways the whole world isn't about them.
Aug 8, '12Superbowl is the BEST day to go to Disneyland or Magic Mountain FYI so thats a good holiday to have.

Asus has launched its latest addition to the Eee PC series of netbooks, the Sirocco, at a glamorous event in a boutique hotel in Taipei, Taiwan with Pocket-lint in attendance. The event is intended to drum up some excitement for what many people believe is a doomed market.
This is Asus' second fashion netbook following the Karim Rashid Collection, and this time around we're not just looking at another pretty netbook, the specifications have also been given a nice little bump.
The slogan for the Sirocco is "making waves" and it goes with a new chassis that has a soft to the touch rubber coating with a wave shaped pattern. This not only makes the Sirocco look unusual, but it also makes it very fingerprint resistant with the added benefit of having a nonslip surface. Asus will offer the Sirocco in three different colours, gold, purple and "angel skin" - a light pink.
On the inside, the specifications have been spruced up and now include a dual-core Atom N550 processor, which Asus claims will boost the performance by about 20 per cent compared to a netbook with a single-core processor.
Asus has also added what we think is a first for a netbook, namely Bluetooth 3.0 support. It's questionable how useful this is at the moment though, as there are only a couple of smartphones and some notebooks that currently support the faster Bluetooth file transfer standard.
At 1.25kg and 36mm at its thickest point, the Sirocco isn't quite as svelte as the Karim Rashid Collection models, but it's on a par with most other netbooks.
If all the above wasn't enough to get you excited, Asus has also included a new version of its Express Gate instant on OS, this time with a "cloud" moniker stuck on at the end. This means that many of the applications that are part of Express Gate are now located online and, as such, require Internet access to work. You do, of course, also get a full version of Windows 7 Home Starter Edition as well.
The Eee PC Sirocco should be on sale now in Euroland for about 349 Euro, although we haven't managed to confirm the UK pricing as yet.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
You can discuss this suggestion on the talk page.
Flags and banners are decorative pieces containing symbols that is used to represent a government, group or individual. Typically these pieces are used to represent patriotism or ownership.
During the early history of Earth, each nation-state was identified by unique colors and symbols that was used for representation. (TNG: "The Last Outpost")
Examples of national flags:
- France: Blue, white, and red
- Germany: Black, red and gold
- Italy: Green, white and red
- United States of America: Red, white and blue
The Nazi flag was a red field with their symbol, the swastika. In an alternate timeline, Adolf Hitler's forces marched onto the North American continent; newsreel footage from that situation depicts the 1944-spec U.S. stars and stripes flag being flown under one of Hitler's Nazi flags. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
The design of the United States flag remained mostly unchanged over the nation's four hundred years, with the exception of the number of stars which appeared on it. Each star represented the number of states that were united under the flag. Between AD 2033 and 2079, the US flag had 52 stars. (TNG: "The Royale")
A work of art – specifically a painting of a matador – inspired the flag for the first Martian colonies in 2103. (DS9: "In the Cards")
When preparing for the exploration for an uninhabited planet in September 2152, Commander Tucker commented, "New planets, new aliens. Banner day." (ENT: "The Catwalk")
In the alternate reality, it was still traditional to fly state flags. At James T. Kirk's hearing, the California flag was displayed. (Star Trek)
Flags might be flown half staff following tragic events, as was the case at Starfleet Headquarters the day after the attack on the Kelvin Memorial Archive and the Daystrom Conference Room. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
During the Occupation of Bajor, a Cardassian gul, named Pirak, executed fifteen farmers from the Hathon region for refusing to display the Cardassian banner on the outside of their homes. (DS9: "The Darkness and the Light")
The flag of the Federation had a blue background with the seal of the Federation in the middle, with "UNITED FEDERATION of PLANETS" under it. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets") It was often customary to lower a flag to half-mast after a death, as was the case at Starfleet Academy in 2368, when Cadet Joshua Albert was killed performing the prohibited Kolvoord Starburst maneuver with Nova Squadron. (TNG: "The First Duty")
The Yangs of Omega IV had, in quite an astonishing example of Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development, developed a society based on the same principle as the United States of America, having even produced virtually similar texts such as the Pledge of Allegiance and the United States Constitution as well as national symbols, including a flag that was practically identical to the Flag of America. Centuries after a devastating war had caused the Yangs to assume the form of a society of hunters and gatherers, the Flag of America became a holy symbol in their culture. (TOS: "The Omega Glory")
The Promenade on Deep Space 9 was often adorned with flags. Some were simply for decoration while some were stylized versions of various government flags and insignia. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited") Terok Nor, Deep Space 9's mirror counterpart, also had its Promenade draped in flags for the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. (DS9: "Crossover")
In 2373, Neelix decorated the mess hall of USS Voyager with the colors of the Enaran flag, in anticipation of their forthcoming trip to Enara Prime. (VOY: "Remember")

I love D.I.D and wish it were longer so that we could enjoy more of the chosen music. That said, I should like a spot where the interviewee was able to choose one piece of music or a recording he/she would like to see go down with the ship! Listening to Goldie Hawn this week I heard my all time choice for Davey Jones Locker... Imagine! The central sentiment is okay - a protest song against war, but oh dear, as if religion and faith have been the cause of all wars! It wasn't the at the root of the great wars of the 20th century, nor or the deaths of millions in communist China and the USSR. As an hustorian I find the lyrics facile. Oh, and we must forget the imagine "no possessions". Thanks John, but weren't you a multi-millionaire. No! Over the side with that disc!ReplyDelete

Want to Get More Done at Work? Do Less
Some good news for anyone sick of 12-hour days at the office: the key to maximizing professional productivity may not be to work more, but rather to work less. According to a recent study conducted by the Draugiem Group, a social networking company, the average person remains productive for 52 minutes at a time. Using its productivity tracking app, DeskTime, the Draugiem Group analyzed users' time and tasks and found that the most productive 10 percent were those who worked for 52-minute intervals followed by 17-minute breaks, over the course of a workday that often lasted fewer than eight hours.

HAWLEY - Hawley Ambulance & Rescue Company is still dealing with costs and damages related to the fire that erupted in their garage on River Street on May 31, 2012. Chief Bryan Utegg said that the contractor hired by their insurance carrier had bid too low and quit, leaving them with unfinished repairs.
The contractor left a bill for $103,000. This covered the ceiling repairs, painting and repairs to the two rest rooms. There are still no adequate heating or electric utilities in the ambulance garage. Lack of adequate heating in the attached hall has kept them from resuming bingo, which is one of their key fund-raisers. Finding rentals for wedding receptions and the like have also been difficult, without proper heat.
Utegg said the ambulance company is seeking legal advice and have withheld payment of the bill in the meantime. The insurance company provided a $148,000 payment for the total damages. That leaves $45,000 to finish the repairs, but Utegg said that this will still be approximately $55,000 to $60,000 short of what is expected to be needed to complete the work.
They are planning to send a fund-raising letter to their membership asking for assistance. Utegg said they had not sent a letter in a few years realizing that residents have it hard with the weak national economy. They also are hoping to resume bingo this winter twice a month on Sunday afternoons rather than hold it in the evening liked they had been doing. They are currently getting quotes to repair the utilities.
Bingo would be scheduled on alternating Sundays so to not conflict with White Mills Fire Department's bingo schedule. They hope to resume bingo in early February.
Hawley Ambulance also plans to hold chicken barbeques. Funding from the letter drive, bingo and dinners would go towards restoring the heating and electrical utilities. Other building repairs, he said, may have to come out of their diminishing savings.
They have been used an smaller heating system to warm the building enough for daytime use, which he said was adequate when they had the blood mobile there.
Hawley Ambulance no longer utilizes paid staff; they are back to all-volunteer, and Utegg said they are fortunate to have a good group of dedicated people. They have 14 who take shifts for the ambulance crew, and another 13 support volunteers.
Due to the damages, they are continuing to rent space at the White Mills Community Ambulance building in White Mills, where a crew is on duty and supplies are kept.
Their older (1995) ambulance is in the Hawley Ambulance garage with the smaller-grade heating system. The ambulance they bought in 2012 is parked outside the hall where it is kept running, with a crew waiting to respond. Unfortunately, and entirely separate from the fire, the newer ambulance has given them trouble and should be replaced.
Utility expenses presently cost approximately $1,000 a month to heat both the building in Hawley and the rental in White Mills. The electrical bill comes to about $500 a month between both locations.
Last year, Hawley Ambulance & Rescue Company answered 447 emergency calls. Of these, 390 were paid transport, for which they receive around $200 a call, Utegg said. Their call log used to be higher, before Lackawaxen Township took responsibility for the whole township including the Tinkwig and Woodloch Springs areas, close to Hawley. Their service area also used to include Paupack Township, where presently Wayne Ambulance has a unit stationed at Lakeville.
At one time, they had about 900 emergency calls a year, Utegg said. He said he has been an emergency medical responder for 24 years, since he was 16 years old.
The fire last year was traced to a lowly paper clip, which somehow fell and became lodged between the prongs of a calculator's wall plug and the electrical outlet. The fire started in the garage area where they kept their office.
Financial donations for Hawley Ambulance & Rescue Company are tax-deductible. Contributions may be sent to Hawley Ambulance & Rescue Company, 219 River St., Hawley, PA 18428 and marked for "general expenses" or "building fund." The company may be contacted at 226-2734.

Wotcha guys and gals, sadly we are going to have to change the weekender scheduled for Friday 26th -28st June to just a single day event on the sunday.
Unfortunately I have unforeseen family commitments which will mean we can only do the Sunday....also we have a tonne of stuff to do before the weekender, and time seems to have dissapearing quickly meaning it would be very difficult to get everything in place in time. (ie we need to regrade the entrance to the woods to make them caravan friendly, repairs to the toilet/storage caravan,.build the catering trailer and new bbq...etc etc..)
So my decision is to just do a single day event on the 28th, and focus on getting everything in place for the August BH weekender, and at the same time keep my family happy....
Sorry for those who were planning to come for the weekend, but we will make up for it in August with the best meet to date.
If you are up for it, add your name below so we can get an idea of numbers, or post on the woods FB group if you are a member.

Today, the Canadian news reported that America has opened up its border to Canadian "beef". After the scare of mad cow disease, the US had banned canadian "beef" and today a court lifted the injunction. This is being celebrated by Canadians and American meat lovers alike, and indeed most people who were concerned about the "Canadian economy." The news proudly and happily reported that the first "shipment" of 35 "heads of cattle" were transported today from Calgary to Pennsylvania destined for a slaugherhouse in pennsylvania.
And apparently, all of this is "good news" and "occasion to celebrate."
Have any of these celebrating fools stopped to consider how HOT and HUMID the weather was today and the fact that the drive from Calgary to Pennsylvanis is in excess of 5 hours? Did any of them stop and consider how THEY would feel if they were packed with 34 other humans in a transport truck with some holes in it in this treacherous heat and humidity, commuting 5 hours on a bumpy and noisy highway, with no food or water or any other measure to make the unbearable heat somewhat more bearable? or, have they put their minds to the fact that 35 "heads of cattle" are each gentle, unique, feeling, sentient beings that are innocent and committed no crimes other than being unfortunate enough to be born a bovine instead of a homo sapien?
I am amazed at how the media reports on these issues. It is NEVER from the animals' perspective, and the animals are referred to practically as widgets. What really gets me is that the media is not even afraid to show the images of actual cows loading off the truck and into a slaugherhouse. They are so sure that even images of actual living, breathing, moving beings with faces of their very own will not cause humans to see them as anything other than next week's steak. What will it take for people to see these animals for the special and unique beings that they are, insteadof "food"? Why is this country celebrating the "transport" of 35 innocent animals to their horrific deaths in a Pennsylvania slaughterhouse, and gearing up for the next "load"?
It was utterly ridiculously hot and humid today. IT was a record high ever, and "humans" were warned to stay in doors. The meat industry doesnt even give a damn about maybe holding off on the transport until the heat broke a little, so that the animals dont suffocate in the sweltering heat during a five hour hellish ride. ANd yet, people actually continue deluding themselves into thinking that the meat industry isnt "as bad as vegans say". Wake up and smell the coffee people - each and every meat eater has personally bore witness to the callousness and cruelty of the meat industry, because we have all seen truckloads of animals on highways in the FREEZING winter or SWELTERING summers.You dont have to actually see inside of a slaughterhouse to know that the meat industry is evil and greedy, greedy, greedy. It doesnt care about your health, and it cares even less about some basic kindness towards innocent animals. IT aint rocket sceince, it is common sense.
How f%$^cked up are we, and how many more BILLIONS of innocent lives must be brutally stolen until people snap the F$#CK out of it????
A cow isn't food anymore than is your family pet, me, or your human children !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANother thing that pisses me of since I am already pissed right now is this bull shit about how "no one was killed by hurricane Emily that hit mexico last night" I have been to Cancun and it is full of stray dogs and cats, many of whom I am sure drowned and persihed, terrified and alone. What about that 'count'? What about that "loss of life." HUmans arent the only species of beings that are precious, that matter in this world, and that are worthy of "news time." Nobody ever speaks of the lost non-human lives in the face of natural disasters, and I am sick of our species arrogance in thinking that we are so damn special.
Hardly something to celebrate

Bull crap. But ya, the news is always like this, humans are the top priority. Please let there be some alien invasion! This world sucks. Perhaps one day animals will become more intelligent than us and make us their "cattle"? That would put a smile on my face.
Funny thing is how you mentioned being packed with 34 other humans. Sadly enough, people that come from China (on their own free will in those cargo holds) get more sympathy than these animals that are forced.

I've started to realize that people only see animals as animals when it is convenient for them. Like when they are cute or funny. But as soon as it comes to them being abused and eaten there is this line that people wont cross in their heads. It's a feigned ignorance. I hope that makes sense.

Is Stop & Shop barricading the homeless?
We've all seen a homeless person pushing a shopping cart full of bottles and cans down the street, presumably destined for a bottle redemption center somewhere.
In a sense, this is one sign of success of the bottle deposit laws: The system was designed in part to encourage people to pick up litter because it would be worth something.
I saw an academic study recently indicating that bottle redemption actually accounts for significant income to many unemployed homeless people.
So I was sorry to hear that the Stop & Shop supermarket in Waterford has instituted a policy that would discourage someone from filling up a cart and wheeling on down to their redemption center.
I heard about the policy from a reader who is a regular customer of that Stop & Shop. He told me he likes to fill a cart with bottles and cans from his car when he is returning recyclables. He then wheels them over to the store's redemption center.
Just recently, though, he was stopped by a store employee and told that carriages are not allowed in the redemption area anymore.
Presumably, you now have to bring in the cans and bottles by bag or box, or individually.
This reader suggested his theory that the store was trying to discourage the many homeless who live in the immediate vicinity of the Waterford Stop & Shop from using the redemption center.
Sure enough, when I paid a visit, the store's redemption center is hardly a welcoming place. There are all kinds of hand-written signs posted on the doors, walls and windows, warning about the fine print of redemption laws and insisting on cleanliness and only brands of bottles and cans sold by the store.
The sign banning carts says they are not allowed in the center for "safety and sanitary" reasons.
The carts are all over the store and parking lot. Aren't they unsafe and unsanitary everywhere else?
I checked some other Stop & Shops in the area and discovered no similar rules against carts in the redemption centers, adding a little more credence to the theory that the Waterford rule is aimed at the many homeless who spend time near that store.
At the Stonington Stop & Shop, in fact, a polite handwritten sign asks customers to remove the carts from the bottle center when they are done.
A spokeswoman from the grocery chain's New England headquarters in Quincy, Mass., did not directly respond to my question, when I reached her by phone, about whether the homeless were being targeted by the redemption rules in Waterford.
She did suggest, though, that one difference between allowing the carts in the store itself and not in the redemption center is that the center is a small space with less room to maneuver.
Later, by email, the spokeswoman said each store is free to set its own rules about carriages in the bottle areas.
"In the case of the Waterford store, the store team had received many complaints about carts in the bottle room," the spokeswoman wrote. "It is highly used as there are not many recycling centers in the area."
She finished up the email citing sanitation and safety as reasons to keep the carts out.
For whatever reason, the Waterford Stop & Shop seems to run one of the region's most unwelcoming bottle redemption centers. And I doubt it is now the safest or cleanest either.
I visited a bunch on my quick tour of centers in the area, and I didn't see nearly so many harsh warning signs at any of the others.
Stop & Shop says the new policy was put in place in response to complaints from customers.
And yet it was a customer inconvenienced by the strict new rule in Waterford who complained to me.
I don't care so much if Stop & Shop is chasing away customers with restrictive redemption policies.
But I am sorry to think they might undermine the effectiveness of the bottle law.
Maybe the homeless will still visit and just double park carts on the sidewalk.
