Norman Friedman gives us an incredibly comprehensive view of the weapons used by the Great War navies of… ready for this…? Britain, Germany, France, the United States, Italy, Russia, Japan, Austria, Spain, Sweden, and other navies. Here, naval weapons include guns, torpedoes, mines and anti-submarine weapons. There must have been a risk that main guns would overshadow mines and torpedoes.
This is quite some book, and I can only marvel at the amount of research that must have gone into it. Perhaps I found some of the technological stuff a bit perplexing – there were so many different calibres of gun, for example, it is hard to keep track of them all! But Friedman doesn't just offer a technological narrative, he also gives a very good background in the historical developments that led to the early twentieth century naval arms race, and how the manufacture and development of weapons progressed. Names such as Armstrong figure prominently. And that is refreshing, as so often we get a – dare I say it – geeky analysis of why a 4.99inch gun is different to a 5inch gun, without any regard for the ships that they were fitted to, the men who operated them, and the admirals who fought them. I have found quite commonly when analysing modern naval warfare, than some correspondents tend to get too bogged down with the technology – ie, the make up or resistors in a sea wolf launcher – with no regard at all for the human aspect of things.
One thing that surprised me is just how many different types of guns were in use. In these days of commonality and procurement-led equipment policies, it is hard to fathom that the Royal Navy used to operate all manner of different calibre and type of guns. It must have been a supply chain nightmare. Imagine all of the spare parts, maintenance know how, operating experience and ammunition complexities. I guess it was as a result of the rapid change in technology in the nineteenth century. After all, the Royal Navy fought at Trafalgar with smootbore muzzle loaders, and went into action at Jutland with huge, rifled breech loaders. And then when you take into account the massive innovations in explosives, then its little wonder that the navies changed so dramatically. After all, guns and rounds are the raison d'etre of any Dreadnought. And then we have the vastly complex issues of naval tactics in the Dreadnought age, the Battlecruiser conundrum et al. And then when you compare these issues among the various navies, you have a very interesting picture.
But here Friedman does place the technology well within the wider context. There is a lot of compare and contrast, which is of course vital when considering why and how certain navies fared differently to others. It is excellently illustrated with some first class photographs, which are well interpreted. I found it very illuminating indeed. As somebody who does tend to concentrate on the social history side of things, it would be all too easy to ignore technology as 'cold' history. But to understand the story of men who served at sea in the Great War, then we should be prepared to be engrossed in the weapons that they worked with.
Not only that, but it looks pretty snazzy on my bookshelf!

Steadily high prices for gold are having a dramatic impact on parts of Latin America, bringing a flood of foreign investment and stirring a gold bug among wildcat miners in the jungles.
Some of Latin America's poorest nations – Bolivia, Honduras and Nicaragua – have seen their balance sheets strengthened by gold production, while major producers Peru and Mexico reap billions in foreign exports.
But even as miners unearth deposits of gold, they also open up veins of social discontent. Protests over gold mining have become the coin of the day in areas where villagers complain of water pollution, a lack of jobs and environmental devastation.
U.S. and Canadian mining companies can be lightning rods for the discontent. But watchdog groups say global mining companies have grown more responsible in their dealings abroad. As often as not, it is small companies, and even independent miners, who generate the frictions and pollution.
The average price of gold has risen more than sixfold since 2001, when it stood around $270 an ounce. Now, spot gold prices hover above $1,700 an ounce. Some analysts see prices heading higher amid global economic uncertainty.
The result has been a flood of mining companies heading south of the border.
"In Sonora, you can't move without bumping into a Canadian miner," said Christopher Ecclestone, a strategist at Hallgarten & Co., a London consultancy focused on mining in Latin America.
Mexico, known for centuries for its silver mines, recently saw gold surpass silver to become its No. 1 mineral export, partly because gold production has more than tripled since 2004 to more than 84 metric tons a year. And new mines are in the offing.
"We've found an area that is extremely concentrated in gold. . . . It's quite staggering," said Richard Whittall, chief executive of a Vancouver exploration company, Newstrike Capital Inc., which is hunting in the Guerrero Gold Belt, an area southwest of Mexico's capital.
Whittall's enthusiasm for his company's Ana Paula deposit is understandable given prices these days. The deposit lies close to Los Filos, the largest gold mine in Mexico, which is the property of another Vancouver company, Goldcorp. Los Filos expects to yield 335,000 ounces this year at a production cost of $600 an ounce.
"You do the math," Whittall says, referring to the more than $1,100 profit per ounce at current prices.
Hundreds of thousands of individual miners across Latin America are totting their own sums. From Nicaragua's mining district to the goldfields in Colombia's northwest, and on to Peru's Madre de Dios jungles, wildcat miners are tearing up forests and dumping mercury in rivers in their quest for gold.
In Guyana, a nation the size of Idaho on South America's northeastern shoulder, authorities in July suspended all further mine permits to halt devastation by some 14,500 independent miners, many of whom blast river banks with hoses to expose gold-laden sediment, then use mercury as an amalgam to pull gold from silt.
In Colombia, some 200,000 small-scale miners produce 50 percent of that nation's gold, while 20,000 miners now operate in the pristine Madre de Dios region of Peru, where they commonly filter mercury into the food chain.
Mercury contamination by small-scale miners has prompted leaders of some countries, like Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega, to seek out experienced mining companies using less harmful methods involving cyanide that avoid the use of mercury.
One of the beneficiaries is Hemco Nicaragua, a private company employing 900 people at its gold mines in the nation's so-called Golden Triangle, formed by the villages of Siuna, Bonanza and Rosita.
"We're using traditional leaching methods," said Randall Martin, a U.S. mining engineer who is chairman of the company. "Cyanide has a very short lifespan. Mercury is a heavy metal and stays around forever."
Like many foreign-owned mining companies, Hemco has put emphasis on investing in the communities where it operates, eager to foster good relations.
"We built a kindergarten. We built a computer lab for the community," Martin said. "It's about the only place in Nicaragua where everybody that comes out of high school has taken a computer course."
Relations between foreign mining companies and local communities have been far from smooth in El Salvador and Guatemala, where battles pitting villagers against companies are portrayed as David vs. Goliath struggles.
The most notorious case involved Pacific Rim, a Canadian firm that later incorporated in Nevada. The company began exploring for gold in 2002, eventually filing a $77 million lawsuit in 2008 charging that El Salvador's failure to issue it an environmental permit violated its rights as a foreign investor.
An activist against the Pacific Rim project was found slain with two gunshot wounds to the head in June 2011. He was the fourth mining activist murdered in the previous two years in El Salvador.
Mam-speaking Mayans living near Guatemala's giant Marlin gold mine, one of the most productive in the hemisphere, say the Goldcorp mine has brought health, environmental and human rights woes. Acting on behalf of 18 villages around the mine, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights asked in 2010 for Guatemala to suspend mine operations. Neither the state nor Goldcorp complied.
The profits splashing out of such mines have spurred some nonprofit activist groups to demand tougher terms for gold companies on long-term liability for environmental cleanup, community improvements and royalty payments.
"It is more complicated to open a restaurant than it is to get a gold mining concession," said Agustin Bravo Gaxiola, a mining specialist at the Mexican Center for Environmental Law, an advocacy group.
"Mexican mining legislation is such that it would have been the envy of Queen Victoria under the British Empire," he added.
Under President Felipe Calderon, Mexico has more than doubled the area of mineral concessions, often granting rights prior to consulting with indigenous people dwelling on the lands. In February, federal courts suspended one concession granted in San Luis Potosi after lawyers for Huichol Indians said it would desecrate a sacred site.
Whether social problems erupt near gold mines often depends on where they are. In Mexico's arid north, few problems have been reported.
"Miners only move a few cacti," said Ecclestone, the mining consultant. "They are not ravaging jungles and killing monkeys."
In contrast, mining companies going into countries that were once torn by civil war face different and more severe challenges.
"In Guatemala, you're working in post-conflict areas with indigenous communities. There's a strong suspicion of outsiders coming in," said Keith Slack, an adviser on oil and mining for Oxfam America, a humanitarian relief and development agency.
Whittall, the Newstrike chief, said his exploration company fosters good relations in communities where it works, viewing it as economic common sense.
"If you're trying to sell a company . . . one of the highest and most important assets to have is a tranquil community that is onside with potential development," he said.
Mining companies, he said, should hold to the precept that "you're a guest in the country. It is not rocket science. It's just being respectful."

Ellen Degeneres: Pirate Enabler? Her Watermarked Copy Of 'Walter Mitty' Leaks Online
from the who-knew? dept
Each year, Andy Baio tracks the online leaking of various screeners for Oscar-nominated films. He apparently just noticed something interesting. On Thursday, a screener for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the new Ben Stiller flick, leaked online. That happens. But, there appears to be a massive watermark indicating that the screener copy belonged to talk show star Ellen Degeneres.
Baio notes the likely possibilities:
There's a chance, albeit small, that this watermark was added by someone besides 20th Century Fox — by someone trying to hide the identity of the actual source, maybe.Indeed, one of those possibilities is the most likely answer, as it's extremely doubtful that Degeneres herself suddenly decided to make a bit of a name for herself in the warez scene. Either way, I'm sure that 20th Century Fox and/or the MPAA enforcement division of the local FBI can now more easily track down the history of how this all got online. I'm sure that large sums of money will be spent tracking it down... without anyone stopping to think that the fact that this is online is unlikely to make even the slightest difference in the eventual revenue for the film, which currently has a 48% approval rating on RottenTomatoes. The film was going to leak online sooner or later no matter what. Does it really matter where it came from?
More likely, the watermark is accurate and Ellen's screener simply ended up in the wrong hands. A postal worker, one of her employees, friend, family member, or countless others in the production and distribution chain could be responsible for ripping the DVD and putting it online.

Morgan Heritage, "Here Come the Kings" (VP Records)
With a batch of songs that feature their signature vocals mixed with a nice blend of traditional roots music and love songs, reggae band Morgan Heritage's "Here Come the Kings" feels like a celebration.
The new album is their first in five years.
The title track is striking, "Call to Me" is uplifting and groovy, and "Perfect Love Song" is filled with good vibes and pitch perfect harmonies.
The album's themes are familiar for the band — the message of love, positive thoughts and simplicity is at the core. But "Here Come the Kings" still shows the reggae outfit's progress musically.
That's especially true on "Girl Is Mine," an impressive and bold cover of Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's 1982 hit song. Morgan Heritage not only does the song justice, they also give it a nice reggae twist.

Newspaper coverage of the Mill River flood of 1874, in which 139 residents of the Mill valley in western Massachusetts died after a reservoir dam burst, was in keeping with public taste for stories of survival and the death of innocents, emphasized the horrors of the disaster. But as the headline of this article "Terrible Horror" makes clear, the event was so awful that no exaggeration was necessary to hold an audience's interest. One third of the dead were under age ten, most killed at home with their mothers unable to hear any warnings. Several heroes raced ahead of the floodwave to alarm the factories, so comparatively few factory workers died. Twelve women became widows and nine men, widowers. Twelve more men lost their wives and all their children. Five entire nuclear families, both parents and all the children perished.

WASHINGTON (AP) - David Petraeus has resigned as director of the CIA after admitting he had an extramarital affair.
According to his letter of resignation, Petraeus asked President Barack Obama on Thursday to allow him to resign, and on Friday the president accepted.
Petraeus said in a statement that he had shown "extremely poor judgment" in having an affair.

LONDON (AP) — News of a rebound in China's economy shored up markets on Friday at the end of a volatile week that saw the U.S. veer dangerously close to defaulting on some of its debts.
Now that the U.S. Congress agreed to raise the country's borrowing limit, eliminating for now the risk of default, investors were able to focus on something other than the squabbling in Washington a day after the S&P 500 index closed at a record high.
"The sentiment in the market today is one of mild relief and back to business as usual," said David White, a trader at Spreadex.
China's economic rebound in the third quarter was the main driver of sentiment on Friday. Government figures showed that the world's number 2 economy grew by an annual rate of 7.8 percent in the third quarter, up from a two-decade low of 7.5 percent during the previous three-month period.
The improvement eased fears of a deeper Chinese slowdown that could crimp the world economy and should ensure that full-year growth doesn't fall below Beijing's 7.5 percent target.
Corporate earnings were also on the radar of most traders — the start of the quarterly results season had taken a backseat to the developments in Washington. On Friday, solid earnings from General Electric and Morgan Stanley helped shore up the market mood.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.5 percent at 6,611 while Germany's DAX rose 0.3 percent to 8,839. The CAC-40 in France was 0.9 percent higher at 4,276.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was steady at 15,374 while the broader S&P 500 index rose 0.4 percent to 1,740. On Thursday, the S&P day closed at a record high of 1,733.15 after investors breathed a sigh of relief that the U.S. government cobbled together a deal to avoid a potential default.
Lawmakers reached an eleventh-hour agreement late Wednesday evening to raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit. Still, investors are assessing the long-term cost of the drawn-out political battle and the likelihood of another high-stakes standoff early next year, when the short-term increase to the U.S. debt ceiling runs out.
Earlier in Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed up 1.1 percent at 23,340.10 and China's Shanghai Composite Index added 0.4 percent to 2,193.78. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.7 percent to 5,321.50. Japan's Nikkei 225 bucked the trend, dropping 0.2 percent to 14,561.54. Markets in India and Southeast Asia rose.
The U.S.'s economic reputation and the status of the dollar as the world's reserve currency have taken a hit from the standoff. As a result, the dollar suffered a broad-based drop Friday.
The euro was up 0.1 percent at $1.3680, just shy of its earlier 8-1/2 month high of $1.3704. The dollar was 0.2 percent lower at 97.79 yen.

My daughter is 18 days old today and I have been exclusively breastfeeding since day 1. After a day or so, she was able to latch on and my milk came in. She would burp randomly on her own. By day 5 or so, I noticed that she would cough/gag on my milk - I figured out that I had an overactive letdown. I started block feeding (I am now just feeding from one side every feed, unless she's cluster feeding), hand expressing when needed, and trying to recline back and keeping her somewhat upright when feeding her. This has helped with the gagging/coughing/wheezing.
However, now there are other problems. Regardless of when or how many times we burp her, she will spit up. Sometimes it's a normal baby spitup amount, but other times it's the whole feed and she'll cry and/or look like she has a bad taste in her mouth, grimacing. She'll also randomly cry out in her sleep and grimace, and this morning she was fussing in her sleep for 2 hours, arching her back, stiffening, curling to the side. She spits up in her sleep almost every time she sleeps. I wasn't so concerned before, but now she is crying out more, fussing longer, and grimacing after burping/spitting up. It is rare for her to burp without having anything come up. I'll nurse her, she'll fall asleep, I burp her, she cries and wakes up, I put her back on my breast because that's the only way she'll calm down, and either she'll fall asleep on me and I leave her on me, or I try to burp her again so she'd be more comfortable, or I'll just place her in her crib. She rarely burps when we try to burp her like this, and if she does, it takes a long time. If we don't get a burp out of her and just place her in her crib, she'll spit up pretty soon after, fuss, and wake up again. The only way she seems comfortable is if I let her sleep on my chest or stomach, but then she'll spit up the moment I lay her down in her crib or to change her. Oh, and the spit up is sometimes mixed with mucous, and other times it's mixed with curdled milk. She also hiccups rather frequently. Some days are better than others.
We saw the pediatrician today, and he didn't seem too concerned since she gained about 20 oz in a week and a half. We are to follow up in a week though, especially since I mentioned that she recently began to refuse to latch on at times, having my breast in her mouth but not closing her mouth onto it.
- Should I wake her to burp her when she falls asleep while nursing?
- Should I burp her every 3-5 minutes while nursing? When I try that, she'll spit up the first burp, and the subsequent burps sometimes never come. She then gets sleep and will not try to feed again.
- Do you think she has reflux? I mean, I know all babies have some degree of reflux, but should I try zantac?
- What about simethicone?
- Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Asian Pacific American Student
Success Program (APASS)
"The mission of APASS is to support Asian and Pacific Islander students in pursuit of academic success through early intervention and effective support services; promote individual growth and personal success through a culturally sensitive environment; recognize cultural diversity within the Asian and Pacific Islander communities; and foster unity within the college community and beyond."
Each year APASS awards two $500 scholarships to socio-economic disadvantage individuals who have overcome academic challenges in their lives and are on the way to transfer to a four-year university. We also designate one award each year for outstanding student volunteer in our center. Your investment and gifts are welcome and are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law 501(c)3, Tax ID 94 1721925.
Checks can be sent to CCSF Foundation with notation to APASS Center.
APASS Center is the culmination of volunteer work by a committee of students, counselors, instructors, administrators, and staff led by faculty member, Laura Wu McClain in 2003-2004. The startling statistic shows that approximately 40 percent of the students on academic probation at City College of San Francisco are Asian and Pacific Islander students, prompted the formation of McClain's committee.
The committee met with focus groups of Burmese, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Indonesian, Pacific Islander, and Vietnamese students for the purpose of gathering information about their experience at the College and to determine how the district could help them achieve academic success. The committee then drafted a proposal to provide a special location on the Ocean campus where students could attend workshops, meet with counselors, and participate in study groups, all with the intention of improving academic achievement. With the strong support of the College's Board, Chancellor Philip R. Day, Jr., Vice Chancellor Don Griffin, former Vice-Chancellor Frances Lee, and the College's Budget and Planning Committee, plans were made to launch the APASS Center by the fall semester 2004. Space was located at Batmale Hall on the Ocean campus, architectural drawings were completed in early 2004, and construction began soon after. The beautiful, spacious APASS Center, with computers, comfortable desks and chairs, a conference room, and several offices, was formally opened on October 15, 2004.

VLADIVOSTOK, Russia (AP) — Vladimir Putin flew on a motorized hang glider to lead a flock of young Siberian white cranes in flight, a characteristic stunt for Russia's action-man, animal-loving president that was tarnished by reports that endangered chicks had died while scientists were setting up the trip.
Dressed in a white costume meant to imitate an adult crane, Putin was taking part in a project to teach the endangered birds who were raised in captivity to follow the aircraft on their southern migration to Central Asia.
Putin has charmed many Russians while disgusting others with his feats, starting from 2000 when he flew into Chechnya in the back seat of a fighter jet. Over the years, he has ridden a horse bare-chested through the mountains, driven a Formula One race car and taken the controls of a firefighting plane to dump water on wildfires.
The flight in the hang glider proved to be a test of Putin's leadership skills. Only one crane followed Putin on his first flight, which he attributed to high winds that caused the hang glider to travel faster than usual, the RIA Novosti news agency reported. On the second flight, five birds followed Putin, but after a few circles only two had stuck with him for the full 15-minute flight.
Putin stopped off at the Kushavet ornithological research station on the Yamal Peninsula in the Russian Arctic on Wednesday en route to an international summit in Vladivostok, on Russia's Pacific coast. Once at the station, he paired up with a pilot, who sat behind him on the hang glider as they took the birds for a spin.
It was a scene reminiscent of the 1996 movie "Fly Away Home," in which an estranged father and daughter use an ultralight plane to help a flock of geese migrate. The movie was based on a real-life Canadian, who spent a decade teaching orphaned geese how to fly south.
Putin's moment dimmed, however, when a biology student at the station claimed online that two chick cranes died and several others were hurt in the hurry to be ready for Putin's arrival.
"One of the chicks got into a hang glider's propeller while training and waiting for" Putin, Mariya Goncharova wrote on her page on the Russian social netwroking website, vk.ru. "One more broke a beak and stripped its claws off on bad netting, and many simply flayed themselves" while being transported in boxes to the flight venue.
Goncharova deleted the post several hours after posting it, but it remained available on Russian search engines.
A researcher confirmed the death of a three-month-old chick before it was transported to the research station.
"An autopsy will give us the exact cause of death," Tatyana Kashentseva told The Associated Press. She said other birds arrived safely, although it was not clear how many there were.
Russian biologists say there are less than 20 Western Siberian white cranes left in the wild worldwide.
Putin's flight, given many minutes of airtime on Russian television, provoked an array of contemptuous jokes on the Internet, one of the most popular being "So Putin is off to wintering with cranes. Does this mean he's not going to be back before spring?"
Some of Putin's adventures have purported scientific connections, such as when he fired a crossbow at a gray whale while being tossed around in choppy seas to collect tissue samples.
He also once shot a Siberian tigress with a tranquilizer gun so he could place a tracking collar around her neck. He patted the sleeping tiger's cheek affectionately as if she were a pet. A Russian environmentalist claimed later that the tigress died because Putin's security insisted on increasing the dose of the tranquilizer.
After leading the cranes, Putin said he didn't know what he would do next with animals. "That's for the specialists to decide," he said. "It shouldn't be just for fun, but should have some use."
Last year, Putin was caught short when one of his scientific events was revealed to be a set-up. He was shown scuba diving and bringing up fragments of ancient Greek amphorae, but his spokesman Dmitry Peskov later admitted the artifacts had been planted on the sea floor for Putin to grab.
The stunts irritate Putin's opponents, who regard them not as benign political entertainment but as part of an establishment of a cult of personality lionizing an authoritarian leader.
Marat Guelman, one of Russia's most well-known art gallery operators, wrote in a blog on the Ekho Moskvy radio station website that the flight shows Putin "has lost faith in us. He sees our treachery, greed, cowardice and cruelty. There's nothing to love in us anymore. Dolphins, cranes, horses — that's a different thing."
Masha Gessen, author of a book critical of Putin, left her post as editor of the travel and science magazine Vokrug Sveta (Around the World) this week, saying she was fired for refusing to send a reporter to the Yamal Peninsula, 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) northeast of Moscow, to cover Putin's flight with the cranes.
A statement from the magazine Tuesday said Gessen left by agreement with management because of "differences" on the separation of editorial and publishing powers.
Vokrug Sveta works closely with the Russian Geographical Society, whose board of trustees is chaired by Putin.
Mansur Mirovalev contributed to this report from Moscow.

Paul Edmond Ewers, 55, of Hood River, Ore., died Jan. 16, 2010, as the result of an injury sustained while working on I-84 near Mosier, Ore.
A service to mourn his passing and honor his life is planned for 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 30, at Anderson's Tribute Center, 1401 Belmont Ave., Hood River. Friends are invited to greet family Friday evening (Jan. 29) from 5-7 p.m. during a time of viewing at Anderson's.
Paul was born June 21, 1954, in Marysville, Calif., to Phillip Forsythe Ewers and Marilyn Louise Searcy. He lived in California until his 16th birthday, when he took a Greyhound bus to Oregon.
He lived in Dallesport, Wash., for a short time before moving to Hood River. He attended Hood River Valley High School for about a year before packing up a few belongings and hitchhiking across the U.S. and Canada.
Paul returned to Oregon in his early 20s and married Ruth Proffitt on Oct. 8, 1977, in Parkdale, Ore. He began working for ODOT in 1979. He worked in Parkdale before transferring to Bend and later to The Dalles.
Paul and Ruth were blessed with two children: Lora and Eric. The family enjoyed the great outdoors together; hiking, camping, riding bikes and taking trips.
Paul loved to travel and took many pictures along the way. He enjoyed driving and also taking Amtrak. Lora recalls taking the train through West Glacier National Park. He also took Eric on a trip to San Luis Obispo, Calif., (where Paul had spent some time in his youth) by train a few years ago.
Paul and Ruth just recently separated but have maintained a friendship and active roles in their children's lives.
Paul was a great friend; he was the guy you would call if you needed help; the one you could always count on. He would drop everything to help family and friends move and was always there to give advice and listen to the people he loved.
Paul is survived and will be dearly missed by all who knew him. His untimely death leaves much sadness amongst his family and friends. Survivors include his mother, Marilyn Myers, of Newport, Ore.; daughter Lora Ewers, of Hood River; son Eric Ewers, of Portland, Ore.; and Ruth Ewers, of Hood River.
He is also survived by his 10 siblings and their spouses: Ron Ewers, of Portland, Ore., Roger Ewers, of Bend, Ore., Jean Kipp, of Montague, Calif., Phil Ewers, of Portland, Brian Godsill, of Idaho, Rob Godsill, of Idaho, Pat Godsill, of Portland, Sean Godsill, of San Diego, Calif., Catherine Camacho, of Oklahoma City, Okla., and Roberta Rosario, of Carson City, Nev.
Please visit www.andersonstributecenter.com to leave a note of condolence for his family.

It is hard to mistake the classic image of the English Bulldog. This square and stout looking dog is very wide and broad, giving the appearance of power and strength even though it is not very tall. The overall impression when looking at an English Bulldog is one of power and dignity, along with maturity and sensibility. The face of the English Bulldog is just as distinctive as its body. The face is brachiocephalic, which means that the muzzle is very short and compressed. The lower jaw is noticeably undershot, and longer than the upper jaw and nose. The lips of the upper jaw hang down below the lower jaw, and are loose to the mouth. The cheeks are very noticeable, and are obvious when viewed from the front as well as the side. The eyes are round and set well off the center of the face. They are always dark in color, and lighter colored eyes are not characteristic of the breed. The ears are very small and thin, held close to the head. A rose type fold in the ears is most desirable. The skull is broad and wide, and should never appear narrow. The forehead and skull area should be covered with deep folds of skin, forming large "wrinkles" across the forehead area. The neck of the English Bulldog will be thick and massive, matching the base of the broad skull. The short neck flows into heavyset front shoulders that are slightly sloped outwards. The front legs should be thick and well boned, while appearing proportional and muscular. The elbows should be loose from the body of the dog, and the feet may be slightly turned out when viewed from the front. The chest is deep and significant, moving in to a well-developed rib cage. The topline of the body is considered a "wheel-back" - often mistakenly called a "roach-back". This means that the center of the back is slightly higher than either the shoulders or the tail. The hindquarters are very substantial and balanced-looking. The hind feet will turn out slightly and the hocks will turn in slightly. The hind legs are longer than the front legs, but are in proportion. The tail is either short and straight, or short and somewhat kinked or bent in appearance. The tail will be wide, and the base and will taper to a fine point that is always held lower than the broad base of the tail. The coat is very fine and short, and is the same length across the entire body. There may be folds of skin on the neck and around the tail. The breed is also known for its distinctive dewlaps under the jaw.
We have English Bulldog Puppies For Sale, please support our English Bulldog breeders!
The English Bulldog has a very short, fine and smooth coat that is of uniform length on the body. This breed has no furnishings on the legs, belly or chest area but folds in the skin on the head, around the tail and on the chest are desired.
The English Bulldog has a rather disturbing history, as it was originally bred from the Asiatic Mastiff for its aggressiveness in baiting bulls and bears in ancient times. It was in the year 1209 that bull baiting, or having a dog grab onto the bull by the nose and hold on until the bull was killed, was first introduced in England. The Bulldog was bred to be a ferocious dog, that would hold on to the bull's nose despite the pain that the bull would inflict on the dog. In 1835 the terrible "sport" was outlawed and owners of the Bulldogs tried to use the breed to fight in dogfights, but thankfully they did not fare well in this venue. Through the concentrated effort of dog lovers in the United Kingdom, the English Bulldog was bred to maintain their body shape and size, but remove the aggressiveness and replace it with the qualities of an excellent companion dog.
The English Bulldog is a very serious, devoted and loyal breed of dog. They are a very attention-seeking dog and are not considered appropriate for homes where they would be left alone for extended periods of time. The English Bulldog has been bred as a companion dog, and really does desire and require constant attention from its owners. The breed is typically a very calm and well-behaved dog, although they are considered a dominant breed and must learn that the humans are in charge in the household. The English Bulldog will bond very strongly with its family, and often has difficulty in re-homing after that bond has been established. The English Bulldog loves to please, and will quickly learn what the owners are requiring of it. Highly intelligent, they do best with some repetitive training but also lots of variation. They are an excellent companion dog for both other dogs as well as non-canine pets. Proper socialization is important with this breed, as they can be somewhat dog-aggressive, especially the intact males. Neutering and training, as well as constant interaction with other dogs, can prevent this from becoming problematic. Most English Bulldogs make wonderful pets for families with younger or older children, and the breed has a natural patience with children and the elderly. A slow moving breed, they are not ideal for kids that want a pet that is running with them all day, but they are very loyal, loving and protective of children. The English Bulldog has a unique temperament. People can mistake their often slow response to commands as laziness, but those that know the Bulldog breed know that the dogs like to consider the command before simply jumping up and doing it. A problem solver, the Bulldog likes a mental challenge, and will approach new activities and events in a thoughtful and consistent manner. They are very good travelers, and typically love to go for a ride in the car. The English Bulldog is a natural protector of the home and property. While not a problem barker, they will let you know when strangers approach. Their appearance is often enough to warn off intruders, but the Bulldog will use its strength to defend its property if required. Potential owners of English Bulldogs should know that the breed is prone to digestive problems, resulting in some flatulence issues. Controlling the diet can eliminate this issue to a large extent. They are also a snoring breed, and are prone to drooling.
The English Bulldog does have several Health concerns that owners should be aware of. As with most breeds, buying from a reputable breeder will eliminate most of the worries associated with any possible health conditions of the breed. The major health issues include hip and elbow dysplasia, stenotic nares, internalized tail and eye problems such as Cherry Eye, Entropion and ectropion and KCS or dry eye. In addition, the breed may have respiratory problems and an elongated soft palate, which will result in obstruction of the airways and leading to breathing difficulties. The skin is prone to infections, but this can easily be managed with proper Grooming and regular cleaning of the skin folds.The English Bulldog will usually require assistance with whelping, and frequently puppies are delivered by cesarean section because of their broad heads. It is very important to closely monitor a Bulldog whenever anesthesia is being used, as they can easily have significant and serious respiratory complications.
The short and very smooth coat of the English Bulldog is very easy to care for on a regular basis. A stiff bristle brush is all that is needed to gently groom the dog two or three times per week. It is important to keep the skin folds on the face, neck and tail carefully cleaned with a damp cloth to remove any debris and dead hair that may become trapped. This debris can cause irritations, leading to lesions and other infections in the folds of the skin. When cleaning the folds, be sure to wipe first with a slightly damp cloth then follow with a soft towel or dry cloth. Never leave the folds wet or use any type of soap or cleanser, as this can cause irritations and potential allergic reactions. The English Bulldog should only be bathed when required, and never frequently. Bathing too often will dry out the skin and can lead to itchy, flaky and irritated skin. A soft, damp cloth can be used to gently and easily wipe down the dog should he or she become muddy or dirty. Check the nails regularly, and clip to keep them short and free from splinters or sharp points. The teeth can routinely be brushed using a finger sleeve or dog toothbrush and toothpaste. The English Bulldog is considered an average shedder, and does not shed seasonally.
The Bulldog, while square and rather squat, is still a very active dog when provided with regular exercise. Since they are prone to rapid weight gain and some obesity, regular walks and opportunities to get out and about are very important with this breed. Naturally very sedate, an English Bulldog is not good at self-exercising, and may need some prompting to move about and exercise. They are fast for their size and shape over short distances, and many English Bulldogs will play and romp for short periods with other dogs given the opportunity. They are equally accepting of longer, more sedate walks. An English Bulldog should never be exercised in very hot or cold conditions. In cold conditions, the Bulldog's short coat will provide little if any protection to the temperatures, and in hot conditions their brachiocephalic or short muzzle head formation will lead to overheating and heatstroke very quickly. Only exercise in the coolest times of the summer months, and provide lots of shade and water for these dogs if they are being left outdoors. While not a playful breed when full grown, they are very playful as puppies. Some of the adult Bulldogs retain a more playful attitude even as they mature, but this is not considered typical of the breed.
The English Bulldog requires an owner that understands how to work with a dominant breed of dog. This is critical, as owners that don't understand how to positively and appropriately teach the dog that they are not the boss will soon have a dog that simply does what he or she wants, rather than listening and obeying commands. The owner must establish that he or she is the "alpha dog" or leader in positive and gentle ways, without punishing or harshly treating the dog. A Bulldog is very sensitive to punishment, and will rarely be intentionally disobedient once they have outgrown their puppy stage. Occasionally some Bulldogs will be stubborn and difficult to train, and a puppy obedience class is highly recommended for the breed. An English Bulldog is a very intelligent breed and is a thoughtful dog, not typically jumping into new situations or activities without giving them some consideration. Since the older the Bulldog gets the slower it tends to move, it is important to keep in mind that this dog will take a few seconds or more to respond to a command. In addition, the Bulldog likes to contemplate his or her options before jumping up to respond to a command. They are not a dog that does something on the spur of the moment; rather they seem to study the situation before deciding what action to take. A Bulldog does best with repetitive training in very short time frames, rather than one long training session. Typically, they love to please their owners, and will work very well for praise as well as treats and rewards. Limit food rewards, as the breed has a tendency for rapid weight gain. A well-trained and well-socialized English Bulldog is an excellent companion dog. The natural protective instincts of the breed mean that they require little training to become expert watchdogs. Typically the English Bulldog has few destructive behaviors, although chewing can occasionally become a problem if they are not provided enough attention. They can be somewhat dog-aggressive with strange dogs, so ensure proper socialization at an early age. Most English Bulldogs get along well with cats and other pets, and socialization will increase these positive attributes as well.

Military watch straps: its the details that count
Sometimes, its the small details that make an outfit look particularly polished and well thought out. And whilst 80s digital watches are nice, they have become a bit ubiquitous. Striped, military style watch straps – particularly when paired with a vintage watch face – can make a statement.

Before last month's first yield survey for 2007 was released, we wondered if production would be as high as some observers were recently predicting. Early this year we heard from a number of growers who, for one reason or another, were looking at lower yields to start the season.
When survey results were released they showed a 6 percent increase for California vs. 2006. The seasonal forecast of 7.2 tons per acre is the highest level in 10 years. One of the more interesting developments in the 2007 hay market is the low price spread that has prompted growers to shoot for tonnage instead of aiming for maximum quality this summer.
Writing in the August issue of CAFA News, Seth Hoyt, senior economist for the National Agricultural Statistics Service pointed out that "the price spread between the top and bottom of the alfalfa hay market is at a record low in California. For the week ending August 10, supreme quality alfalfa hay delivered to Tulare dairies ranged from $213 to $215 per ton." That was only $20 to $30 per ton higher than fair quality alfalfa. Growers in central and northern California were going for tonnage and, said Hoyt, "there were many reports of two tons per acre, with some growers reporting up to three tons per acre."
As pointed out in the July issue of CAFA News, dairymen were feeding wheat straw in total mixed rations (TMRs). In addition, there was a big jump in sudangrass acreage planted by dairymen who are feeding the forage to dry cows. According to one of Hoyt's sources, "Fair quality alfalfa hay prices would be even higher if dairies were not feeding wheat straw in TMRs and other types of hay such as sudan for dry cows."
Unfortunately for dairies, there's nothing on the horizon to change the supply-side. States that ship hay into California, such as Idaho, Nevada and Utah, have seen yields drop due to dry weather and a cold spell in April. Hoyt reported that hay buyers from several western states and the Midwest were "competing for alfalfa hay in Montana."
RR Dilemma
By the time this column appears, the regulations that have riled Roundup Ready (RR) alfalfa growers will be settled and hopefully common sense will prevail. In July, the USDA-Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) issued an administrative order to comply with the May 3 permanent injunction issued by the U.S. District Court for Northern California.
On Aug. 9, CAFA took part in a conference call with USDA/APHIS and expressed a number of concerns and practical options for handling RR alfalfa. The USDA/APHIS representatives were open to suggested changes that they planned to submit to the judge who issued the injunction. Of the different regulations APHIS implemented in July, the one that raised the biggest obstacle was the requirement to tag all bales of RR alfalfa.
While the bale tagging issue was being discussed, Monsanto filed an appeal on Aug. 13 that will hopefully lift the May 3 injunction. Other crops such as soybeans and corn are benefiting from RR technology. Some 90 percent of U.S. soybean acreage and 73 percent of corn are planted to RR varieties. Singling out alfalfa, as was done in May of this year, is a travesty that needs to be corrected.

BOSTON – During his eight seasons with the Bruins, defenseman Hal Gill was beloved by some and hated by many.
When he takes the ice tonight for Game 1 of Montreal's Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Bruins, the Concord, Mass., native will definitely feel some animosity raining down from the TD Garden rafters.
It's not exactly how a kid that starred at Nashoba Regional and dreamed of playing with Ray Bourque (he eventually did) drew up it up back in the day.
"Not very often," said Gill today after his team's morning skate when asked about imagining he'd be a villain in Boston. "But it's nice. It's nice being part of this rivalry and being part of this series. I think it will be a great series. I feel like I had a great time in Boston, but it would be nice to beat these guys."
As for who Gill's family is rooting for, he joked: "I haven't talked to them."
The 36-year-old Gill also had a kidding response when asked if his teammates give him some ribbing for being a Bay State native that probably had one or two Bruins posters on his wall as a kid.
"They don't remember what it was like when I was a kid. I don't remind them," he said. "They weren't even a thought when I was a kid."
For all his detractors when he was with the Bruins, Gill has gotten the last laugh. He left for Toronto and then was traded to Pittsburgh. With the Penguins, he became a mainstay on a shutdown pair with Rob Scuderi on a team that won the 2009 Stanley Cup. With Montreal, Gill has continued to be a rock in his own end as well as a mentor to a youthful group of players highlighted by Calder Trophy candidate and defense partner P.K. Subban.
Last season, Gill nearly got a chance to play for the Cup again, as the eighth-seeded Canadiens made an improbable run to the Eastern Conference finals. In their first series, they trailed Washington three games to one before rallying for the victory. Then they beat Pittsburgh before falling to Philadelphia.
Those experiences could come in handy for the Habs against the Bruins.
"I think you learn from your experiences. We don't want to be down 3-1, but we want to make sure that we know we can compete on that level," said Gill. "We kind of forced ourselves into that position last year, but we know we can compete at that level, at that high level and do what it takes to win."
Gill has definitely learned what it takes to win it all along the way. Even if he's not plying his trade in the sweater he thought he would, he's still living the dream.

Every few months it seems there's another news story touting a specific fruit as having high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that have been associated with the prevention of cancer and other illnesses. It's difficult to know from these stories how much antioxidant activity these fruits really have, especially in comparison to each other.
Researchers at Cornell University in New York set out to compare the cellular antioxidant activity levels in 25 commonly consumed fruits in America. They found that pomegranates, wild blueberries, and blackberries had the highest levels. These levels were 30 to 40 times higher than fruits such as melons and watermelons.
Other fruits rated high in antioxidant activity listed from highest to lowest are cultivated blueberries, plums, raspberries, strawberries, red grapes, apples, cherries, and pears. Lemons, bananas, and avocados, along with melons, were at the bottom of the barrel.
So, if antioxidants are your goal, eat exotics, such as pomegranites and wild blueberries. For more information on this research, go to: Journal of Agricultural Chemistry.

More detailed status information for each process on a per host basis is then provided under the "Landscape" tab. We will explain the contents of these tabs in more detail later on in this lesson.
One of the most important things to be validated once your Dynamic Tiering node is installed is to see whether everything is up and running. The
esserver is the Dynamic Tiering server process. If the
esserver is running, it means the Dynamic Tiering environment is active and running.
One way to check the status of the
esserver is through SAP HANA Cockpit. Navigate to your system on SAP HANA Cockpit and the click under "Overall Database Status".
You will be taken to the following page where you can see the status of the
Note: This page allows you to view all the hosts along with various details such as the host's status, service, role, etc.
Ignore this line. It is used for format purposes.
Another way to check the status of the
esserver is through SAP HANA Studio. In the SAP HANA Administration Console perspective, right click on "
Under the "Overview" tab you can see that the Dynamic Tiering system is running under "Distributed System"
Now to view the
esserver, click on the "Landscape" tab. You should see whether the
esserver is active or not by looking under the "Active" column as seen below.
Note: Under this tab you can also check how much memory each host is using.
For format purposes. Ignore this Line.
The third way to view the status of the
esserver is through a SSH session. Open up a SSH session for your Dynamic Tiering host and switch from the original user to
<sid>adm using the
su - <sid>adm command. Make sure to replace
<sid> with your system id.
Once you are logged in as
<sid>adm you may run the command "
HDB info" to view whether the
esserver is running or not. If you see the highlighted part from the picture below in your SSH session, this means the
esserver is running.
M_SERVICES view enables a user to identify the coordinator type for the
esserver. There are three different coordinator types that you might see beside your
esserver is on your standby node and Dynamic Tiering is not active.
To view the coordinator types in SAP HANA Studio, execute the following in a SQL console:

Macaca cyclopis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Macaca cyclopis (Swinhoe, 1863)
Common Name(s):
Macaca affinis (Blyth, 1863)
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Hai Yin, W. & Richardson, M.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Least Concern as the species' population is stable or even increasing, its extent of occurrence is greater than 20,000 km2, and conservation measures appear to be working.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to Taiwan. The main distribution rests on the central mountain range, with some local subpopulations scattered in peripheral lowland forest remnants. The extent of occurrence, estimated by the total forested area in Taiwan, was 19,501 km2. Although once thought to have once been associated with coastal areas, it is now largely confined to inland hills owing to human activity.
Introduced feral subpopulations have become established at four localities in Japan: Oshima (south of Tokyo), Nojima (south of Nagoya), Wakayama prefecture (south of Osaka, where it has hybridized with Macaca fuscata), and the Shimokita Peninsula (northern Honshu) (Fooden and Wu 2001).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Taiwan, Province of China
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|In a survey done along 37 routes (1,211.8 km in total), the estimated density was higher in broadleaved forest, and the estimated island-wide population was approximately 10,000 ± 5,000 troops (Lee et al. 2002). The local density is highly variable, depending on forest disturbance and hunting. In recent years, the species has been reported as increasing, but the reason for this is unknown and could be an artefact due to increased survey work in natural areas (Hai Yin Wu pers. comm. 2006). There has not been extensive monitoring, but the global population does not appear to be significantly declining (Hai Yin Wu pers. comm. 2006).
At one time it was found in large groups of up to 100, in recent years average group size has become much smaller (typically 2-10) owing to human pressures (M. Richardson pers. comm.).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The primary habitat of the species is broadleaved evergreen forest. It also inhabits mixed broadleaf-coniferous forest, coniferous forest and bamboo forest (Fooden and Wu 2001). The species is adaptable and, though always associated with forested areas, can be found in secondary forest and remnant forest patches, and can enter agricultural areas for food (Hai Yin Wu pers. comm. 2006). The species ranges in elevation from sea level to 3,600 m although in a survey the species was found most often in broadleaved forest at 1,000-1,500 m elevation (Lee et al. 2002).
It is terrestrial and arboreal, diurnal, and feeds on fruits, leaves, berries, seeds, insects, and small vertebrates.
Reproduction is strongly seasonal in this species. Birth occurs between February and August, with birth frequency peaking during April and June (Fooden and Wu 2001; Hsu et al. 2006). Females first give birth at 4 or 5 years of age. Annual birth rate is around 0.70 (Fooden and Wu 2001), in lowland broadleaved forest, it is reported to be 0.69 in a wild troop (Wu and Lin 1992) and 0.78 in a provisioned subpopulation (Hsu et al. 2006). Annual birth rate may be lower in troops inhabiting higher elevation (Fooden and Wu 2001).
|Use and Trade:
|Appears primarily to be taken as bycatch or in relation to human-monkey conflict in agricultural areas.
|Major Threat(s):
|There are no major threats. However, the local populations species may be impacted by habitat loss for agriculture and development, especially in lower elevations. Also, there is some illegal hunting and non-target trapping, but not at a level to constitute an overall threat to the species. Monkey-human conflict in agricultural fields and around villages can be intense against the species and its protected status.
|Conservation Actions:
This species is listed as CITES Appendix II. In Taiwan it is listed as a category II (rare and valuable) protected species and is protected by Wildlife Conservation Law. The species occurs in 5 national parks and 12 nature reserves/protective areas, and 11 major wildlife habitats/refuges provide less disturbed habitats for the species.
Recent conservation measures appear to be working, with numbers believed to be on the rise; however, this increase is also contributing to the level of conflict with humans (for example crop raiding, and even a few instances of monkey attacks on people). Elsewhere, the species is becoming dependent upon food handouts (M. Richardson pers. comm.).

1. Re: Pen pressure randomly drops out in PhotoshopChris Cox Apr 19, 2012 10:02 PM (in response to rbengtsson1)
This always gets traced back to 3 things: bad pens, bad tablets (usually a broken cable), and bad drivers.
If you didn't follow Wacom's instructions on removing the old driver, then you may not have updated the driver correctly.
2. Re: Pen pressure randomly drops out in Photoshoprbengtsson1 Apr 22, 2012 11:59 AM (in response to Chris Cox)
It works as it should on a different computer so its not a problem with either the tablet or pen (or cable).
So it definetly is the driver. Is there anyway, on a pc, that I can remove all drivers that have anything to do with a wacom tablet (both the intuos4 and bamboo) if there is anything left?
Cause I've done a regular uninstall several times from the control panel and the problem remains. So I'm assuming there has been some issue with the drivers in windows either with the intuos4 or with the old bamboo that causes the mess.
3. Re: Pen pressure randomly drops out in PhotoshopChris Cox Apr 22, 2012 2:34 PM (in response to rbengtsson1)
Yes, but you'll need to talk to Wacom and have them walk you through it (I don't know where all their settings are stored).

2:00 amWashington Week [#5233H] * President Obama began a 3-city, post-State of the Union tour Wednesday, to rally support for a number of his second-term policy goals. Among the key issues: raising the minimum wage, universal early childhood education, immigration reform and tougher gun-control legislation. The president said his proposals will strengthen the middle class without adding "a dime" to the deficit. Republicans are skeptical. In the official GOP response to the president's address, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said the nation's problems cannot be solved by more government spending.
Considering the deep partisan divisions that exist in Washington, and the fact that many of President Obama's initiatives will require congressional action, what can really get done? We will get answers and analysis from John Dickerson of Slate Magazine and CBS News, Karen Tumulty of The Washington Post, Jeff Zeleny of The New York Times, Todd Purdum of Vanity Fair, Eamon Javers of CNBC.

4:00 amAmerican Masters [#2208H] Sam Cooke: Crossing Over Sam Cooke put the spirit of the black church into popular music -- creating a new sound and setting into motion a chain of events that forever altered the course of popular music and race relations in America. With "You Send Me" in 1957, Cooke became the first African American artist to reach #1 on both the R&B and the pop charts. He proved with his pop/gospel hybrid, that it was, indeed, possible to win over white teenage listeners and keep his faithful church followers intact. In combining two worlds, his constant challenge was to sing meaningful lyrics with the fervor of gospel and the romance of pop. He came closest with "Chain Gang," observed and written during the Civil Rights era and with the poignant, biting lyrics and melody of "A Change Is Gonna Come" in 1962, fashioned out of the depth of personal pain and loss. He had the courage to take an open stand against racism, refusing to perform at a segregated venue in the south and garnering the support of Dick Clark. But, at the height of his success in 1964, he was gunned down and killed in the company of a prostitute -- leaving a profound legacy filled with extraordinary talent -- and all the questions about what might have been. This documentary includes original interviews with Lou Rawls, James Brown, Sam Moore, Bobby Womack, Smokey Robinson, Mel Carter, Herb Alpert, Lou Adler and James Carter, among many others from both sides of the crossover music world, then and now. duration 55:46 STEREO TVPG

Silver Springs to become state park

Silver Springs to become state park
Cabinet approves modification of lease agreement
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —
One of Florida's oldest tourist attractions is about to get a new lease on life.
The Florida Cabinet approved a modification of a lease agreement between the owners of Silver Springs, Palace Entertainment, and the state.
The move will allow Silver Springs to become part of Florida's state park system on Oct. 1.
Palace Entertainment's lease to manage Silver Springs had originally run until Dec. 31, 2029, but negotiations with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ended with the state providing $4 million in work by Palace Entertainment to restore the property to its natural condition.
Palace Entertainment will continue to manage the property until Sept. 30, and the Silver Springs attraction will remain open until then.
