Just got back from a Cruise to Alaska. Took the XL and a 220 roll film holders. Also 2 35mm's and a Digital. Great place for photos. Flew to Seattle, no problems with the 30 pounds of Photo gear, but I was searched 2 times. I had some stripes on 4 of my 400 asa, but I don/t know what X-ray damage looks like. Took about 300 shots total, and found you need something that sets up fast. Sorry guys but I was impressed with the Digital, have not got the 220 6x7 processed yet. Russ

Well, gee...Russ...hope you're gonna keep on helping to preserve and promote the use of these old musty analog cameras. After all, once you have that good old D-76 and Dektol Developer...and Acid Fixer with its attendant sodium thiosulfate and acetic acid pulsing through your veins...you're sure to have withdrawal symptoms if you go Digital. I've never seen a megapixel yet that's as much fun as an 8X10 sheet of Kodabrome II!!

Well after 50 years of fooling with this stuff I think I have a goodly amount of chemicals in me. I still like to play in the darkroom, and the Grandchildren think it is neat. I have also converted my Nikon son to 6x7, and he now sees the difference between 35mm and Medium/Large format when you start cropping and enlarging. The Digital is someting I just wanted to try, and I enjoy working the Thumbnails on the computer. Russ

Digital is all very well-another toy for the public to play with,and another invention for the manufacturers to keep the presses rolling and the bank managers and stock market happy..
With a GRAPHIC you are holding a piece of history,you are holding quality workmanship,you ARE somebody holding this famous camera...it is still respected around the World even today as the most important camera ever to be invented.
This is photography and the GRAPHIC stands proud as part of that craft.
I had several college students requesting me put up on screen a picture of the old workhorse(a Pacemaker),they could only admire this camera from afar in wonderment and thanked me for showing the beauty.
This sounds very much like one of those GRAPHIC Ads...but it's true.May film stock last for many years to come,and this famous camera along with it.
It's still a cracker!

I agree with everything you say about film, and I hope the day never comes when the Kodaks and Ilfords of this world expire. BUT...I have developed and printed a fair amount of 35mm the traditional way over the years, and then found that those darkroom skills did not transfer easily to 120 roll film---at least, not for me.
So I use a hybrid approach: chromogenic b/w or 'chrome film in the Century Graphic, development by the local camera store's lab, then I scan into Photoshop on the Mac and print out on the Epson. Works great for me. High-end digital is getting better and better. You *can* have the best of both worlds!

I took my 4 x 5 Crown Graphic Special into my local camera store one Saturday last year, to show to one of the salesman who had expressed an interest, and was mobbed by a group of High School students who were starting a photo course at their school.
The questions they asked about my camera were both sincere and comical, as they had never seen a camera like this, much less in person, and were at a loss as to what it was or what it did.
I explained to them the background of the Graflex cameras and their niche in the history of the world that these great cameras played a part in, and in a huge leap of faith I let each one hold the camera as if they were going to take a picture with it.
And I hoped that this gesture and my time spent with them perhaps made some converts amongst them to our cause of using these older cameras, not because they are the latest model or the most fashionable, but because of the time and effort needed to use these cameras which makes one more understanding of what it takes to produce a quality image, both in the field and in the darkroom.
My great-nephew (4 years old) likes to look at my camera equipment, but doesn't like the darkroom because he says it smells like a hospital, and my great-niece (11 going on 30) who can't be bothered as she's too busy being a brat, but there's still hope for the younger generation I suppose.

I recently took my Speed Graphic to church with me, as we are building a new building and I have been trying to take some photos to document this as it goes. Since I had it along, I thought that I would also take a group shot of the junior high class I work with. There are about a dozen kids in the class, and I was expecting a certain amount of stir as it doesn't look much like anything familiar to them. I wasn't expecting anyone to demand immediate lessons on it, though, and I got one young lady who was so thrilled by it that she wasn't satisfied until she had actually taken a picture. So perhaps there is a future for classic machinery yet. (-:
(And nobody asked where the computer plugged in...)

Hi,Henry,Actually,I do the same thing,if I need b/w prints,I process them myself and can run them off via the EPSON (instead of going via the wet process,e.g.the darkroom),or get the lab to process colour neg (120)then do the same thing-prints via computer.Or return to the lab,we have CHOICES!.
The little knock was the actual Digital camera itself and it's pixels-in the UK it's range war,and you don't have to go to the gulf to join in the affray from all the flak that's going on through photo forums.
One side you have the film stock buffs-the other the pixel fanatics-it's the roaring 20's here all over again.
I've found you don't join these forums on these subjects otherwise it's lynch time.To mention the very fact you might own a S.G.would insight wrath...of course,we are talking about the diehards you haunt those discussions-you have met the type,know-alls but know nothing.They breed on jealousy for one another.
But,one they want to own a GRAPHIC,of course they would deep down inside,they just don't know how to go about it-anyway,if it's does'nt cost six million dollars how can it expect to take a picture,like our pixel friends.
It's like you MUST buy the latest car each year-never mind it stays in the garage,just open the door and show it to your friends.
GRAPHICS are for taking pictures with...in the U.K.it's how many pixels I can impress my friends with-a status symbol for the 21st century.
...but they cannot make up their minds what to photograph let alone get the digital out of the case.(sorry,out of the wrapping paper).
We could go on forever,could'nt we.I wondered if this was true when the GRAPHIC changed over from using 'glass plates' to sheet film.Did war break out then.
I rest my case,judge!.

Yeah, Sid, I hear you. It's just as bad over here, human nature being what it is---gotta have the latest, most expensive, fastest, biggest, blah blah blah. But even if there were a digital camera available/affordable that could do what the Graphic can with film, I wouldn't be at all interested. Same reason I, as a musician, am not at all impressed with synthesized music. I gotta see those instruments being played by real people in real time with real artistry, and don't edit out the mistakes---they're part of the authentic music-making experience.
Any chance I could have my tea with some Beefeaters or maybe better yet some Glenlivet?

The PC Micromagnetic Simulator (SimulMag) is a personal computer based magnetic design tool developed by John Oti while he was in the Electromagnetic Technology Division of EEEL/NIST. This software is no longer being developed or supported at NIST, and is provided "as is."
These pages are based on earlier pages written by John Oti.
The simulator allows one to construct a magnetic device or circuit and simulate the system response under the influence of external magnetic fields, currents, or local field sources. The program is expected to be most useful as an effective tool in the development of initial device design concepts and their rapid iterative analyses before rigorous modeling is attempted. The software may also have potential pedagogical uses for classroom instruction of micromagnetics.
The software requires Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.51 or higher to run.
Available on this web site are beta versions of the micromagnetics simulator (Simulmag v2.0j) and the design viewer program (MMS Viewer v2.0i), design file examples illustrating software features and the user's manual with addendum. Features include:
Using the following links you will be able to obtain copies of the simulator program, a simulation viewer program (MMS Viewer), the user's manual, design examples and answers to commonly asked questions concerning the software. The viewer program automatically plays back recorded simulations and permits viewing and saving to file of all simulation data. When installed the viewer is much smaller than the simulator program and can be used as a plug-in in your web browser for convenient online viewing of design examples. This will enable you to readily evaluate the capabilities of the software before embarking on your own designs with the simulator. The system requirements for the viewer program are the same as for the simulator.

Niklas Kronwall, Henrik Zetterberg, Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar each a goal and an assist in the Detroit Red Wings' 6-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night.
Justin Abdelkader and Drew Miller and also scored for Detroit. Johan Franzen had three assists, Joakim Andersson two assists and Jonas Gustavsson made 16 saves.
Jarome Iginla scored for Boston and Tuukka Rask stopped 22 shots.
Abdelkader opened the scoring at 11:49 of the first period when he put in a loose puck from the bottom of the left circle off the rush, 11 seconds after Detroit killed off a high-sticking penalty to Franzen. It was Abdelkader's third goal of the season.
The Red Wings scored three goals in less than four minutes in the second period.

Medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes
It is a fantastic place and no wonder that it has been declared a World Heritage Site.
There are so many details and all photographers will like the authenticity of the city. Of course there are many tourist but there are still a lot of unexplored back alleys with nice restaurants and little shops.
Palladium Hotel
The Palladium hotel is situated right on the blue flag awarded beach of Kallithea. It was a pleasure to stay there and I would recommend it to everyone who looks for more comfort and service during holidays.
The hotel has a very large pool area and in addition a private beach.
This time we wanted to stay closer to Rhodes City, that was one point why we chose this hotel. By car it's only 20 minutes away from "down town" Rhodes. The famous thermes of Kallithea are also nearby.

A unique and slightly different Christmas tune to the others! Picture a quiet and calm Christmas night, where the streets are lit but all the children are asleep. A wave of glittery magic is moving through the air filling the world with that unique Christmas spirit. This piece is nearly romantic and sentimental. It's perfect for reflecting the more personal aspects of christmas, being with those you love and being extra generous!
Also, this piece is in 6/8, making it like a dance. Imagine two christmas faeries skating on the ice and dancing under the mistletoe!

The Lakers haven't yet secured a meeting with LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony.
They might sit down with one of them. Or both. Or neither when free agency begins next week.
Without mentioning either player by name, Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak said the team would go "all out," if given the green light to woo them.
"If any of those players do want to make a move, we're prepared," Kupchak said Thursday. "Every situation's unique. We're still going to pitch that this is a championship franchise and that's going to be our goal. As long as Kobe [Bryant] is on this team, we have to believe that we can contend for a championship."
Kupchak acknowledged that elite free agents might have to take pay cuts to fit into the Lakers' cramped salary structure. They have already committed more than $37 million of next season's projected $63-million salary cap to Bryant, Steve Nash, Robert Sacre and rookie Julius Randle, whom they took with the seventh overall pick in Thursday's draft.
Anthony would have made $23.3 million and James would have made $20 million next season. James was also under contract for about $23 million in 2015-16.
In addition to steep pay cuts the duo would need to take, the Lakers would be longshots to sign them both because of their aging roster and 27-55 record last season. But Bryant could become part of the recruiting process, Kupchak said.
"I would not be surprised if Kobe reaches out or if free agents reach out to Kobe," Kupchak said.
Randle's their man
Old rivalries don't die. They just bleed into the draft when two teams are sagging.
Lakers executives were on edge in their draft room while the Boston Celtics pondered the sixth overall pick Thursday.
When it was revealed to be Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart, the Lakers' brass burst out in excitement, smiles all around.
It allowed them to take power forward Randle with their highest selection on draft night in 32 years.
The Lakers were worried Boston would nab Randle, a double-double machine in one year at Kentucky.
Thanks, Celtics?
Randle is a Zach Randolph clone, slightly undersized for the position but seemingly always producing. He's also fearless, saying after a recent high-energy workout for the Lakers that he doesn't care if Bryant is tough on rookies.
Bryant weighed in on Twitter after the pick, welcoming Randle in the transition from "one legendary institution to one epic franchise."
Randle was measured at only 6 feet 9 in sneakers and at 250 pounds. Another possible reason he slipped to seventh was his right foot.
He had surgery 18 months ago, Kupchak said, to heal a high school injury and could need a follow-up procedure this summer to have a screw removed.
"They might want to do a surgery, but I'm not sure," Randle said. "I know if I do a surgery, I'll be ready way before the start of the season, by training camp."
Kupchak didn't seem worried, saying a procedure wouldn't affect Randle's career.
Randle might already be learning the pecking order, acting deferentially to Bryant in a conference call with reporters after being drafted.
"It's going to be amazing," he said. "He was always my idol, my favorite player growing up and now I have a chance to pick his brain and learn a lot from him. I couldn't ask for a better situation."
The Lakers did not have their own second-round selection (36th overall) because of the Nash trade, so they spent $1.8 million to buy the 46th overall pick from the Washington Wizards. They took Jordan Clarkson, a 6-foot-5 point guard from Missouri who showed scoring touch as a junior until an end-of-season shooting slump.
"We thought he might be gone mid-first round, so to get a guy like that at 46, we're pleased," Kupchak said.
Clarkson and returning point guard Kendall Marshall both have nonguaranteed contracts next season.
Coaching search
The Lakers still haven't hired a coach since Mike D'Antoni resigned April 30 but they may be getting closer.
Kupchak declined to say whether Byron Scott was a front-runner over Lionel Hollins and Mike Dunleavy.
"We may continue to interview [other] people," Kupchak said.
Alvin Gentry also interviewed for the Lakers' job but took the associate head-coaching job with Golden State. Kurt Rambis interviewed with the Lakers as well but was expected to join New York's staff.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a set of features related to poor blood flow to the heart muscle that leads to a heart attack. This results in chest pain or
pectoris. ACS is a serious, life-threatening condition. If you think you have ACS, seek emergency medical treatment.
ACS is caused by a sudden blockage of the coronary arteries. These blood vessels carry blood to the heart muscle. The blood flow to the heart muscle is either greatly reduced or completely blocked. This leads to heart muscle damage or death from a heart attack.
The narrowing most often happens from years of plaque build-up in an artery. This is called
atherosclerosis. Blood clots may often cause of the narrowing arteries.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
ACS is more common in men over 45 and women over 55 years old.
Factors that increase your risk of developing ACS include:
ACS is serious. It requires emergency medical treatment. Contact your doctor if you have any of these symptoms:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If you suspect ACS, call for emergency medical services.
Your bodily fluids may need to be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Your heart function may need to be tested. This can be done with:
Detailed images of your heart may need to be taken. These can be done with:
If you are having a heart attack, doctors will:
To restore blood flow, the main treatments are:

XIX, is the new band composed of Ben Neill, Bill Jones, Mimi Goese, John Conte and Jim Mussen, recently hit the Summerscape at Bard-- reviewed @ Tony Fletcher's JAMMING and reBlogged here:
Spiegel on the Hudson
It was a 100-mile round trip by the time I collected and brought home the childsitter, but it was well worth it. Last night (Thursday July 20) Posie and I traveled across the Hudson to the Bard College Campus in Annandale, and its unique summerstage – a Spiegeltent.
To quote the Bard programme, Speigeltents are
Hand-hewn pavilions used as traveling entertainment halls and wine-tasting marquees since the early 20th century. There are only a few of these unique and legendary "tents of mirrors" left in the world today. Built of wood, mirrors, canvas and leaded glass and detailed in velvet and brocade, each has its own personality and style.
The Spiegeltent at Bard features no less than 1700 mirrors (no, that's not a typo); the family business in Brussels that built it also traveled to New York to erect it. Without doubt, it's the most beautiful and fascinating outdoor venue I've been to in many a year.
Bard has clearly tried to make the most of it. As part of its wider summer performance series, the SpiegelPalais has been featuring outdoor dining in the early evenings, cabaret and concerts in the mid-evenings (DJ Spooky and Carl Hancock Rux have already performed there this summer), and a local DJ late at night.
We attended for the mid-evening concert. Two people I know well from separate circles – Ben Neill, and singer Mimi Goese – were performing together as part of Neill's XIX concept, a series of mostly instrumental pieces influenced by 19th Century classical romanticism.
Ben Neill is one of the few musicians able to cross effortlessly between avant-garde, electronica and jazz, and that's partly down to his secret weapon: he's the inventor and sole performer of the mutantrumpet, an adapted brass instrument that allows him to send MIDI signals via breath and touch, thereby engaging sequences, backing tracks and effects, without putting hand on a keyboard or computer. (An Apple does hum quietly alongside him, but the music is entirely human, driven by instinct and feel; sequences are extended or shortened on a whim and a nod just as in any jazz band.) He's recorded for labels as diverse as Verve, Astralwerks and Six Degrees, and worked with all manner of left-field musicians, old school and new.
At the Spiegelpalais he started off his set by leading Rickenbacker-toting bassist John Conte and drummer Jim Mussen through a series of chill pieces that more easily qualified as trip-hop than 19th Century romanticism. (Apparently, he sampled simple notes and phrases from music of that era, but by the time it's refiltered through his trumpet and myriad effects, you wouldn't know it.) It was perfect music for a mid-summer evening, but as I've found before with Neill, it needed that special something to take it to the next level.
Last night that came in the form of Mimi Goese, former singer and co-songwriter with Hugo Largo, and whose collaboration with Moby under her own band name Mimi recently showed up in a key Sopranos scene. Mimi has a voice of considerable repute – it's not overstating the case to say she fits right in there between Kate Bush and Liz Frazer – and a carefree, angelic and playful stage persona that may have caused Natalie Merchant, who was in the small audience, to do a double-take. Mimi joined Neill's trio onstage twice, for two songs a time that moved the group into a slightly more conventional format. What lyrics could be discerned were understandably elemental, with lots of dream and nature imagery. Inbetween her appearances, Neill, Conte and Mussen upped the tempo, heading into Miles Davis land with one particular piece that Neill told me afterwards directly uses a classical composer's piano melody. (I didn't recognize the composer's name, let alone the tune.)
Throughout, Neill's long-time partner, Bill Jones, created digital video imagery in real time, further elongating a that ran the gamut from classical to jazz, avant-garde to electronica, and trip-hop to pop. It was an absolute joy.

Masterpiece color palettes
Whether it's your home, a brochure, a quilt, or a website, color is an important part of the design. It will have a tremendous influence on the final appearance.
One way to find a set of colors is to use a palette generator. Give it the URL of any Internet image, and it will produce a palette of colors. It doesn't get much simpler than that.
Color Inspiration from the Masters of Painting, a post on the Colourlovers blog suggests taking a color palette from a famous painting that you like.
The article includes some nice color combinations extracted from famous paintings by Van Gogh, Picasso, etc. (If you register, you can download the palettes, and vote for the ones you like by clicking the little hearts.)
Somehow, it sounds a little more sophisticated to say your palette is taken from a Rembrandt painting rather than produced by an Internet palette generator. And remember -- you can run the Rembrandt through the palette generator and see what colors come out.
The idea of finding a palette of colors in a painting appeals to me because
- I like to collect color palettes.
- I made the blue-green "plaid" background of this page by taking a little section of a Claude Monet watercolor and manipulating it with a graphics program.
I don't think the palette generator does the Monet justice. The colors it found are so gloomy! That painting doesn't seem gloomy to me. Here's my human selection of colors from the same painting:

WASHINGTON – Federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in last year's Boston Marathon bombing, saying in court papers that the deadly plot was committed in an "especially heinous, cruel and depraved manner."
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.'s decision, announced Thursday, marks the first time the Obama administration will attempt to execute an accused terrorist in a federal court case. But whether the 20-year-old immigrant will be sentenced to death will be subject to an intense legal fight.
Tsarnaev's defense attorneys will argue for leniency, portraying him as a confused young man under the spell of his more militant older brother, who was killed in a police shootout. plea agreement could be reached in exchange for dropping the death penalty, as has occurred in past cases.
But citing Tsarnaev's "lack of remorse," the Justice Department said it planned to proceed on behalf of the three people killed and 264 others injured on April 15 by a pair of pipe bombs hidden in backpacks near the marathon finish line.
"The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision," Holder said in a short statement.
Boston U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz expressed support for the decision in a court filing. She cited the "substantial planning and premeditation" in the attacks and multiple deaths, including 8-year-old Martin Richard, a particularly "vulnerable victim."
Further, prosecutors said Tsarnaev, a Kyrgyzstan native who was largely raised in the Boston area, carried out a "betrayal of the United States."
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received asylum from the United States," the government said, "obtained citizenship and enjoyed the freedoms of a United States citizen, and then betrayed his allegiance to the United States by killing and maiming people."
The decision could be risky: Boston is a largely liberal community and Massachusetts' last execution came in 1947, when two gangsters went to the electric chair for killing a former U.S. Marine. Just this month, the Boston Bar Association issued a statement opposing the death penalty in all future federal cases.
One of Tsarnaev's defense attorneys, Judy Clarke of San Diego, has maneuvered several high-profile death penalty cases into guilty pleas that spared her clients' lives. Her clients have included the "Unabomber," Ted Kaczynski, and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bomber, Eric Rudolph.
She also helped represent Zacarias Moussaoui, a self-styled would-be 20th hijacker who tried to join the Sept. 11 plot. A federal jury in Alexandria, Va., gave him life with no parole in 2006 after a defense expert testified that a death sentence would make him a martyr and encourage others to embrace terrorism.
The last terrorist to be executed in the U.S. was Timothy J. McVeigh, the 1995 Oklahoma City bomber, who was put to death exactly three months before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Stephen Jones, the Oklahoma attorney who defended McVeigh, said in an interview that in Tsarnaev's attempt to avoid the death penalty, "the advantage stands with the defense." In addition to the Boston sentiments against capital punishment, lethal executions are decreasing around the country. He noted that in the 2002 case of the Washington, D.C., snipers, the older man was executed while his much younger accomplice drew life in prison.
"The circumstances of that family are not much different than the Tsarnaevs," Jones said, noting that the elder brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, appeared to be the driving force behind the Boston plot. "You can work some significant advantage with that. The defense has some cards to play."
Mark Pearlstein, a former assistant U.S. attorney in Boston, conceded that a death conviction "will be a challenge for prosecutors." Jury selection will be key, he said, because a single holdout among the 12-member panel could nix a death sentence, which must be unanimous.
But, Pearlstein said in an interview, "there will be a very significant focus on the victims and the fact that they are truly innocents."
Holder's announcement drew mixed reaction from victims.
Both of Liz Norden's adult sons lost a leg, and they do not speak much about the Tsarnaev brothers. But she is glad Holder is seeking a death penalty. "I'm all for it," said Norden of Stoneham, Mass. "If other people see that the death penalty is on it, maybe this won't happen again."
Jarrod Clowery of Stoneham, who was hospitalized with shrapnel in his legs after the attack, said he was relieved he would not have to decide Tsarnaev's fate. "Those guys were tried and convicted by a power higher than all of us," he said.
Gov. Deval Patrick, a former high-ranking Justice Department official, expressed confidence that Tsarnaev would face justice: "One way or another, based on the evidence, Tsarnaev will die in prison."

THQ To Rebuild With Love, Respect and Class
After the success of Darksiders, UFC and Metro 2011, THQ are having to rebuild their stable of developers and titles. According to VP Danny Bilson, their success is due to lightly managing their talent with a hands-off approach to game development; letting the studios do what they do best whilst making sure they're unfettered by marketing and finance.
Bilson has stated that they've got a responsibility to provide quality rather than quantity- and their new policy will focus on delivering a small number of "classy" titles rather than a steady flood of mediocre content.
"Our responsibility is to give [you] guys and ladies - great. There's nothing short of that, the whole world of selling average games in gone. The world of selling anything but spectacular games is gone. So what I think that means is less games, more focus, more care ... it's all just about more love really. It's just treating them with more respect."
Love, respect and quality titles? Yeah, I can dig it. However, we're still in the dark about what they have in store. [Gamesindustry]
Apparently THQ will be announcing a new game tomorrow. We'll be keeping a beady eye on the latest developments.
FIFA 11 To Get Personality, No Online Manager Mode
FIFA 11, this year's iteration of EA's all-conquering footie sim, will be receiving a major dose of "player authenticity" and personality according to the latest press release. Each player's on-pitch personality will be reflected by the way the handle and react within the game, with 36 attributes and 57 traits making each player feel distinctive and authentic. With any luck, controlling Wayne Rooney will feel like playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2...
In other news, FIFA 11 will not have an online Manager Mode this time around. Whilst series producer David Rutter was keen to stress that the singleplayer mode is the most popular feature from the FIFA franchise, apparently its online functionality is not up to scratch this year.
"Until I'm utterly convinced there's a way of providing the massive user-base of Manager Mode players with a compelling mechanic that will work, I would be very reluctant to go to market with something I'm not 100 per cent convinced with."- Rutter
Future FIFA titles may bring back this game mode, but we'll probably have to wait for 2012. [VG247]
Power Gig Signs Clapton... and Crap Drums
We started getting excited about Power Gig's playable six-string guitar peripheral back in March, but the last 12 hours has revealed some sublime and ridiculous news about the fate of the franchise. First, the good news. Power Gig has signed guitar legend Eric Clapton and the Dave Matthews Band to populate their setlist. This is a real coup- and we can only hope that Layla, Bad Love and the DMB All Along the Watchtower cover will make the cut.
And now for the bad news. Seven45 has finally revealed their second peripheral: the AirStrike Drum Base. Cool name aside, it's a wireless sensor that sits on the floor and makes you strike arbitrary patches of air above it. Whilst we're all prone to a bit of air drumming from time to time, this new drumless drum kit seems to be a massive step in the wrong direction. But don't take my word for it. [Eurogamer]
For your consideration: The worst trailer ever made.
Time for a little reality check. Forgetting for a second that the lack of physical feedback will lead to aching wrists and hunched spines, the AirStrike actually flies in the face of Power Gig's raison d'etre. Its entire unique selling point appeared to be that the peripherals are real, playable instruments that could teach us elementary musical technique...and I can't quite get my head around how this drumless kit fits into that philosophy. We'd be interested to hear what y'all make of it!

G2115, Reviewed October 1993
Johne's disease (pronounced "Yone-es") or paratuberculosis is an incurable wasting disease of adult cattle that is being increasingly recognized in the United States. Since prevalence rates in U.S.-slaughtered cows range from 2 to 18 percent, Johne's disease is now considered a major problem. It is of more concern in dairy herds than beef operations since there is a larger percentage of cases in the dairy cattle population than in beef. This difference is probably unrelated to specific breed susceptibility but reflects differences in management practices and close confinement, both of which favor easier transmission of the organism. Therefore, the major problem is the infected dairy herd.
First described more than 90 years ago in Germany, Johne's disease is of particular concern to farmers breeding and exporting pedigree cattle. Countries free of Johne's disease almost invariably require cattle to come from Johne's-free herds and to have all cattle pass one or more blood tests. Currently, few U.S. herds have the favored Johne's-free status.
A specific bacterium related to the tuberculosis organism (hence the synonym paratuberculosis) causes an infectious enteritis with severe weight loss and diarrhea. It is economically important because some animals may be so emaciated that they are condemned at slaughter. Others suffer from reduced productivity (milk yield), now recognized to occur for a long period before clinical signs appear.
The organism lives in the intestinal cells and lymph nodes, where it causes progressive thickening of the bowel wall of the lower small intestine and upper large intestine. Infection sometimes extends to the lower large bowel and rectum. The organism is passed out in feces and easily survives in manure and stagnant pond water for a year or more.
New infections usually occur when young calves are exposed to the contaminated environment and ingest the organism by licking or sucking the dam's udder or vulval area. Infections also occur when young calves come in contact with dirty infected bedding in calving areas.
Venereal transmission by artificial insemination or natural service has never been demonstrated. Although the organism has been cultured from the milk of clinical cases, it is not yet known whether such milk can act as a source of Johne's infection for calves. This potential source of infection, however, should be considered in any control program.
Although infection starts in early life and new infections are unlikely after six months of age, clinical signs of Johne's disease rarely appear until cattle are 2 years old. The peak incidence occurs at 4 to 7 years, but some cases are found in cattle as old as 15 years.
Four groups of animals may be identified in an infected herd.
Group 1 comprises confirmed clinical cases which pass the organism in continuous watery diarrhea. The onset often coincides with the stress of calving. Although signs may have only been seen for six months, the organism may have been shed onto the ground for more than a year. A typically affected dairy cow may have had an unaccountable loss of production in the previous lactation. About 5 percent of the mature cows may be in this first category.
Group 2 comprises subclinical shedders of the organism and may include up to half of the adult cows. Some of these cows later show clinical signs of the disease, but the majority will remain apparently normal for the rest of their lives. However, chronic poor growth and production may be noted in some cows over a period of years, during which they continue to excrete the infection at intervals and perpetuate a herd problem. These are potentially just as dangerous for calf infection as Group 1.
Group 3 are the subclinical carriers. These cattle have acquired the infection, but do not develop Johne's disease and do not excrete the bacteria. In these cattle, the organisms have passed through the gut wall to reside in the bowel lymph nodes. Again, up to half the adult cattle in a herd may be in this category. Identification of these subclinical carriers, some of which may later become shedders (Group 2), is difficult.
Group 4 comprises the non-infected animals. This is the desired herd status, especially in purebred herds that may rely on cattle exports and in which a proven demonstration of freedom from infection is necessary.
Identification of infected cattle and the above groups require laboratory testing, which can be time-consuming and inaccurate. A major problem is the diagnosis of animals in groups 2 and 3.
Group 1 cattle are suspected on clinical signs. Despite chronic diarrhea, these cattle continue to eat well and look bright. The manure is not mixed with blood or mucus. Repeated examination of feces or of bowel wall scrapings obtained by rectal palpation will eventually demonstrate typical bacteria.
Unfortunately, confirmation of the organism by culture takes up to three months because growth is slow. Although taking a culture is very time-consuming, it may be the most useful way of detecting the preclinical case.
Various blood tests are available but none is 100 percent accurate. The most reliable method in the live animal requires flank surgery and removal of part of a lymph node for bacteriological culture of the organism. This method is laborious and expensive.
The total losses from the clinical and subclinical forms of Johne's disease in U.S. dairy herds are estimated to be $1.5 billion annually. One-third of dairy herds in some states are infected. Recently, the annual economic loss in Wisconsin was estimated to exceed $52 million.
Diagnosis of a single case may be an indication of a serious herd problem and represent the tip of the iceberg on that farm. An adult cow with persistent diarrhea for months that is non-responsive to treatment is most likely to have Johne's disease.
Other possibilities include:
A rare kidney disease, amyloidosis, causes chronic diarrhea and weight loss, but both water intake and urine output are increased. In amyloidosis, rectal examination by a veterinarian is likely to reveal a massively enlarged left kidney and urine tests generally indicate a massive concentration of urine protein.
A herd management program for eradication of infection, which may take four years, requires major changes. The average infected herd contains 38 to 42 percent infected animals (Groups 1, 2 and 3). Culling of infected animals in Groups 1 and 2, and ideally also Group 3, is necessary. Replacement calves may be vaccinated.
Because problems can arise with subsequent interpretation of the tuberculosis skin test, vaccination is not allowed in some states. Vaccine usage is only permitted by state regulatory veterinarians in herds which are found positive for Johne's disease and negative for tuberculosis. The vaccine can also produce local reaction at the injection site resulting in a firm nodular mass. Vaccination will unfortunately not protect against a massive infection. Vaccinated animals do not represent Johne's-free status. In fact, they represent potential carriers. Vaccination is part of a policy designed to force farmers to institute appropriate management practices for control and eradication of the disease.
Changes are necessary in calf-rearing procedures:
These additional steps must be taken to reduce the chance of infection of young cattle:
Two additional conditions can complicate control measures. First, some calves are capable of being infected as fetuses. Such calves will, despite careful avoidance of post-natal infection, have a greater risk of developing disease. Such fetuses acquire infection across the placenta or membranes from the Group 2 or 3 dam.
Second, other ruminants on the same farm may also have the disease. Johne's disease occurs in goats, occasionally in sheep and also in wildlife such as white-tailed deer. To what extent these species serve as reservoirs of infection for cattle by contaminating common grazing is not yet known. Infected sheep tend simply to lose condition, diarrhea is uncommon and cases are often incorrectly diagnosed as having gastrointestinal or other internal parasitism. The sheep intestine may not show the typical corrugated appearance as in cattle.
It must be emphasized that no single test will detect all infected (Groups 1, 2 and 3) cattle. Culture of feces from every adult bovine every six months with removal of positive cattle is not usually practicable, although it has been shown to eliminate clinical disease. Rearing of calves separate from cows until they reach breeding age may be possible in some dairy herds, but is not feasible in beef herds or in sheep and goat flocks.
A herd program for eradicating Johne's disease requires deliberation and thorough discussion with veterinary advisers. A national eradication campaign cannot be contemplated until more accurate tests, capable of detecting preclinical infection (Groups 2 and 3), are available. In some countries, an increased awareness of Johne's disease by producers, who have tended to cull early clinical cases, has led to a reduction of the problem. Consult with your local veterinarian for additional information.

Springfield College Sports Information
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Despite a pair of 17-point performances from Clara Yuan and Kelsey Cappelle, MIT fell to Springfield College, 68-42, in a NEWMAC women's basketball game on Wednesday night. Cheryl Kwinn grabbed a team-high six rebounds for the Engineers, whose ledger lowered to 9-10 overall and 2-6 in conference play.
Yuan opened the contest with a three-pointer off the glass that gave MIT its only lead after 23 seconds expired. The Pride's Christine Cotter knotted the score 16 seconds later and lay-ups by Lauren O'Connor and Cotter extended the margin to 7-3. The Engineers stayed close as a trey by Yuan narrowed the gap to four (17-13) at the 10:08 mark. At that point, she had scored all 13 of MIT's points including four three-pointers. Springfield countered with nine consecutive points during the next three minutes and then entered the break with a 38-18 advantage courtesy of a trey by Lauren McCarthy with 54 seconds on the clock.
As was the case in the first half, the Engineers recorded the first basket of the second stanza on a lay-up by Cappelle. The Pride then tallied 17 unanswered points, lengthening its lead to 35 (55-20) and putting the game out of reach with 12:17 left. MIT was able to come within 23 points (63-40) on a pair of free throws from Kwinn with 1:58 remaining.


text: Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary On November 21st, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the Temple. Though not recorded in canonical scripture, tradition holds that at a young age, Ann and Joachim, Mary's parents, brought her to the Temple in Jerusalem to have her consecrated to God. In some accounts, it is said that she was taken to the Temple at the age of 3 and lived there, being educated, until she was betrothed to Joseph. Like much to do with the early life of the Virgin and of her mother and father, the story has been handed down in tradition and upheld by Doctors of the Church, though the only written accounts are found in documents determined to be apocryphal. The Catholic Encyclopedia recounts the history of the recognition of the Feast which was celebrated in the East first: "The corresponding feast originated in the Orient, probably in Syria, the home of the apocrypha. Cardinal Pitra has published a great…liturgical poem in Greek for this feast, composed by some "Georgios" about the seventh or eighth century. The feast is missing in the earlier Menology of Constantinople (eighth century); it is found, however, in the liturgical documents of the eleventh century, like the 'Calend. Ostromiranum' and the Menology of Basil II. It appears in the constitution of Manuel Comnenos (1166) as a fully recognized festival during which the law courts did not sit. In the West it was introduced by a French nobleman, Philippe de Mazières, Chancellor of the King of Cyprus, who spent some time at Avignon during the pontificate of Gregory XI. It was celebrated in the presence of the cardinals (1372) with an office accommodated from the office chanted by the Greeks. In 1373 it was adopted in the royal chapel at Paris, 1418 at Metz, 1420 at Cologne. Pius II granted (1460) the feast with a vigil to the Duke of Saxony. It was taken up by many dioceses, but at the end of the Middle Ages, it was still missing in many calendars. At Toledo it was assigned (1500) by Cardinal Ximenes to 30 September. Sixtus IV received it into the Roman Breviary, Pius V struck it from the calendar, but Sixtus V took it up a second time (1585)." In the book, "The Wondrous Childhood of the Most Holy Mother of God," the author, St. John Eudes compares Mary's leaving home to be presented in the temple to three other significant departures from the home in scripture. The first is of Adam, who along with Eve, who were forced to depart the Garden of Eden because of their sin. Adam's departure of his original home in Paradise was deplorable, while Mary's departure to be educated in the Temple was happy and advantageous, as she was preparing for the eventual carrying of the Redeemer in her womb. The second departure is that of Abraham, the patriarch. He left his home and his parents when he was already an aging man. He was already married, and took with him his wife, his nephew and all their belongings. Abraham's going forth disposed him to be the father of innumerable children, father of all believers. The departure of Mary, a daughter of Abraham, was to dispose her to become the Mother of God, and therefore, the Mother of all children of God. The third departure of which St. John Eudes speaks is of Christ Himself. This departure is His coming from Heaven, departing from the bosom of the Father, to be on earth, to fulfill an act of infinite Love. St. Eudes describes the similarities that Mary was asked, and willingly agreed, to bear. She was asked to leave her home, her comfort, all that she had known, in preparation for her role as the Mother of God. Jesus Christ would come down from heaven, leave behind comfort in favor of pain, even to the point of death on a cross, in order to bring salvation. Once again, in her submission to the will of God, Mary is a role model for all mankind. From The Wondrous Childhood: "His example He would preach later by saying 'If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.' He also inspired her whom He had chosen to be His mother and ours to do the same thing; to leave father, mother, house, country and relatives; to renounce the world before she had known it; to forsake all things and what is more, herself and all her inclinations."

#1 The perilous times still shape Bush's legacy01-19-2009, 09:09 PMMonday, January 19, 2009
By Ruth Ann Dailey, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
For many months, hardy loyalists of President George W. Bush have sought to frame his legacy by proposing that the controversial choices he made through dramatic, pivotal years will be deemed correct and courageous when we look back on them some years hence.
The verdict of history, they say, will be kinder than today's partisan-fueled hatefulness indicates. Political wise men as diverse as former New York Mayor Ed Koch and strategist Karl Rove have compared Mr. Bush to Harry S. Truman -- loathed when he left office, now lauded as a greater leader than his contemporaries could admit.
But Bush supporters may not have to wait so long for vindication. The potential shift in public opinion of Mr. Bush's record is already getting a big assist from an unlikely source -- the rapidly sobering staffers and fans of President-elect Barack Obama.
Some of Mr. Bush's most controversial decisions -- like holding suspected enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay -- are now being seen in a new light. Democrats in government and media have just discovered that many of the detainees are extremely dangerous men!
Amazing that this is from the Pittsburgh PG.Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone.

The leadership in the house is hell bent on spending every dime we have and madam spearker Pelosi is on a major power trip and thinks she in total control of America.This should point out the incompetance of the tax and spend wing of their party unless they can still find a way to blame it on the dumb conservatives.

I've had a Garmin Edge 1000 since it first came out. First off, having a touchscreen on anything as configurable as a high-end bike computer should be a requirement. It makes it *so* much easier to work with... if you want to change a field on a screen from, say, cadence to speed, you just touch it for a couple seconds and voila, up come all the options you can populate that field with! And now Garmin has opened it's interface up to 3rd parties so you can download all sorts of apps for new functionality. Battery life is better than the smaller units too. But- if you're trying to get the longest-possible battery life, and you're following a pre-programmed course, make sure auto-recalculate is turned off. That's a real battery hog.
I've had the Garmin Edge 1000 for 2 months now. At the beginning it worked alright. The screen was nice, Route Planner was cool. Live Tracking only worked half of the time, but that wasnt a dealbreaker for me. Overall, I was satisfied until my last few rides- The device hasn't been able to acquire any satellites and therefore, no GPS or map data, making my Edge 1000 nearly useless. I have just started going through the warranty process. According to Garmin, if you purchase the Edge 1000 and it becomes defective before 60 days, You will receive a brand new device. It's been 65 days since my purchase so I just barely missed the mark. In about a month or so I will receive a refurbished device that I pray will last longer than my last Edge 1000 did, but I wont hold my breath.
Best Uses
Used the Garmin Edge 500 for years and enjoyed it, even the social / sharing bits, but I couldn't decide whether to upgrade to the Edge 510 or the Edge 810, so I finessed the whole question and got the Edge 1000. I wanted a bigger screen and the dual GPS. The dual GPs is nice, but the large screen is wonderful for my aging eyeballs. Much easier to set up than the Edge 500 in general, and the touch screen works great. Held back one star because the manual looks complete but isn't, and the Bluetooth interface with the iPhone for texts and incoming calls isn't ready for prime time. This is almost certainly a software issue, so I'm guessing it will be worked out eventually. For riding metrics, though, there are so many nice little touches. I'm really glad I got it.

I understand what you're saying. That's what I was taught to believe many years ago.fifthson wrote:There are two types of Arahants - one who attained Arahantship through vipassana (then he or she had no need to gain jahna for the enlightenment), and the one who attained the enlightenment started with samadhi, then vipassana.
So if that Arahant (or the lower level of attainment) is the latter then he or she had the jahna. Jhana is not the requirement for arahantship. The word sammasamadhi=right concentration, vipassana that leads to arahantship is also sammasamadhi by itself (vipassana has no need to have right concentration to the level that gain one of the four jahna).
As I now understand, the concept of Arahant without jhana is acceptable if we are referring to the kind of jhana Visuddhimagga talks about, which is not the same as the 4 jhanas in the Suttas. If you can find any reference in the Suttas on Arahants without jhanas (the Sutta type of course), please let me know.

Looking down the hallways of Archbishop O'Hara High School, no difference can be seen among the students. All of them are clad in green and gold, the school's colors, and during a Leadership Day Assembly when the keynote speaker was leading a classic O'Hara cheer, everyone screamed "Celtics."
It would be hard to even guess that 41 members of the O'Hara student population are transfer students from the now closed St. Mary's High School.
"I love O'Hara already," said junior Nina Gavoli. "Every day, I have seen a new face. I have met someone that I don't know. It has been a very smooth transition."
In May, the Kansas City-St. Joseph Catholic Diocese closed St. Mary's High School, which would have celebrated its 160th anniversary this fall. The original plan was to keep the high school open until St. Michael's the Archangel opened, scheduled for fall 2015. At that time, O'Hara and St. Mary's would merge into the new high school. However, enrollment at St. Mary's had been rapidly declining for several years and the diocese felt it could no longer afford to keep the school open.
So for the remaining students, a decision had to be made - go to O'Hara or St. Pius X, the only other Catholic high schools operated by the diocese, or go to public school. For a majority of the students, 41, O'Hara won out. Six went to St. Pius, with the remaining handful are attending public schools.
"We were excited," said senior Corbett McKinney, who has been at O'Hara for his entire high school career. "We knew a lot of the St. Mary's people already from sports and grade school. We were excited for them to be a part of our community."
Kim Felz, advancement and recruitment director for O'Hara, said O'Hara has worked hard to make sure the transition for the St. Mary's students would be smooth. A shuttle service is offered from the Independence area for families for a small fee. Some St. Mary's traditions have also been incorporated in various areas, such as the Sunday breakfasts for the cross country team.
Tom Bates, longtime St. Mary's cross country coach, was one several teachers to move over to O'Hara after the school closed.
"It has gone really well," Felz said. "All of our activities are available to them, so there is plenty of opportunities for students to get involved. All of the students are very compassionate toward one another, and O'Hara has always had a connection with St. Mary's, so it has made the transition easier."
The entire O'Hara student body was together Wednesday during the school's first Leadership Day. Throughout the day, students listened to speakers and sat in sessions designed to make them stronger leaders. During the closing keynote address, given by O'Hara alum Kelly Tyler, she addressed what students can do to make others feel welcome, whether that be freshmen or transfers such as those from St. Mary's. Senior Alex Wagner said the student mentors have made it a priority to get St. Mary's students involved from the start, making them feel welcome in a new building.
"We wanted them to join with us," he said. "I really felt like the schools merging now was a good step because it was somewhat gradual. Yes, we knew that they would be sad about their school closing, but this wasn't extreme (like the merger would have been when St. Michael's opened)."
Sophomore Lauren Smith said she really likes O'Hara. She said St. Mary's was so small and that O'Hara feels "more like a real high school." There are slightly more than 350 students at O'Hara this year. All of the grades except the 11th are about the same size as the entire St. Mary's student body last year.
"Last year I was a cheerleader, and no one ever cheered with us," she said. "Everyone here as so much school spirit. Everyone is cheering with us. It is so much better here."
Sophomore Olivia Crabtree agreed. She said having John O'Connor at O'Hara this year has also made things easier as he has tended to look out for the St. Mary's students. O'Connor served as principal of both high schools last year.
"I love it here. There are a lot more people to meet," she said. "I think we are all really comfortable here already."
McKinney said it makes him feel proud to hear that the St. Mary's students feel like they are part of O'Hara.
"That is awesome. It makes me feel proud," he said. "I think we all have been excited to meet new people, and this is a place where there is great spirit and community. It means a lot to hear they feel part of O'Hara."

YULEE, Fla. � Derrick Henry has broken one of the most coveted and long-standing records in the history of high school football.
Henry broke Ken Hall's career rushing record Friday night. Hall ran for 11,232 yards in four years (1950-53) at Sugar Land (Texas). The record had long been considered an unbreakable mark.
But Henry, a star at Yulee (Fla.) High who has verbally committed to play for Alabama next fall, had been steadily closing in on it all season.He topped Hall's record on a 52-yard touchdown run against Taylor County in a Class 4A state playoff game.
The 6-foot-3, 240-pound back has rushed for at least 100 run in every game of his high school career. He already owns the national record with 45 consecutive games of at least 100 yards.

|I have shot two cow elk with the 150gr SGK out of my 270WSM. Last year's was a bang-flop chest shot at barely over 100yds. Went in between ribs on left side and broke two on right side going out. Hydraulic shock did a number on the boiler room; wound channel took out the lungs. She never tried to get up, just kicked a couple of times and expired. This year's was lasered at 465yds, farther than I guessed, so I hit lower than I would want. Bullet shattered right front leg at joint, penetrated/broke breastbone and shot through left front leg bone. Shock severely bruised heart and bloodshot both lungs. Jacket recovered just under off-side skin, right past shattered leg bone. Jacket-core separation is over-rated "problem." Two shattered legs and brisket coupled with fatal internal injuries is success story in my book! I have shot well over 100 Texas whitetail with Sierra bullets in my lifetime using several different calibers. They have always come through, and usually yield the best accuracy. The load I use for elk in my 270WSM has given 3-shot groups as small as 0.4" at 100yds.

|When working up a long range load for my Savage 11 270 WSM I was a little frustrated with either my groups or speeds with those long poly tip bullets. Since SGKs gave such good accuracy in my other rifles I decided to give them a try and first time out they shot a one hole group at 100yds averaging 3010fps with a healthy dose of RL22, I tried that same load several more times yielding cloverleaf or better groups every time, while they don't have the .500+BC that some of the "high tech" bullets have there is no doubt that I will be using the Sierra come opening day. I load Sierra bullets in EVERY rifle cartridge I handload for, and after years of experience here is my honest opinion. 1 Across the board this is the most accurate bullet out there, a few rifles will shoot slightly tighter with another bullet but EVERYTHING shoots very well with the SGK even my super picky Browning. 2 After many heads of game I have never been disappointed with the terminal performance, the only gripe I have is sometimes they are a little TOO dramatic for smallish deer at full speed/close range forcing me to reduce speeds a bit or reach for my 7mm-08 or 6.5x55 instead of my 30-06 or various magnums to reduce meat damage. The furthest I have ever had a SGK hit deer run was 20 yards, and that was an accidental gut shot. 3 I have never had an instance of core/jacket separation, I think that "problem" is way too overblown by the bonded bullet market, especially when talking about deer/hog class game.

|Excellent groupings in both my 270 Win and 270 WSM for target ( less than .625" at 100 yards in both) and superior penetration, expansion and knock down on 240 lb deer.

With a burst of third-quarter leasing activity, New Jersey's office market is showing signs of a long-awaited rebound.
Those are the findings of a new report from Cushman & Wakefield's East Rutherford office. The brokerage found that from July through September, quarterly leasing activity in northern and central New Jersey topped 2 million square feet for the first time in since the early 2012.
Researchers at the firm also said year-to-date leasing activity has exceeded 5.7 million square feet, up 13 percent from the same point last year. The activity has been split about evenly between the state's five northern and six southern counties.
"Recent job growth has been promising, and that is being reflected in the office market activity that we are seeing," Kimberly Brennan, senior managing director of Cushman & Wakefield, said in a prepared statement. She noted the state is on pace to record its second-highest annual total leasing volume over the past five years.
Overall vacancy fell 0.7 percentage points from the second to third quarters, to 19.1 percent, the firm said in its report. Cushman attributed the drop to increased demand and the removal of the former Bell Labs office complex in Holmdel from the state's office inventory; the building is being repurposed in a project that began last month.
The report found momentum in several North Jersey submarkets such as Route 10/24 and Parsippany, but also pockets of concern. In Hudson County, new blocks of space outpaced demand in the third quarter, leaving the vacancy rate at 14.6 percent.

Sorry for the delay in writing a story about this, but here we finally are: Nokia's MeeGo (or Maemo or whatever it's called this hour) is getting its successor. Yes, MeeGo, the short-lived but beloved platform running on the unicorn phone, the Nokia N9, will continue onwards in a slightly different form. Its new home? Jolla - a company formed by former Nokia chief operating officer Marc Dillon, who was the principal engineer for MeeGo/Maemo at Nokia since 2006.

"They're backed by investors"
I think there are lot of investors out there who see the potential the N9 had and who think a MeeGo phone would bring enough money in to make profit with the investment.
Back then Nokia, while loosing marketshare, was still one itch below the top rating meaning a positive investment rating. They did only fall down to junk-state ("do not invest cause you will lose money") once switching strategy to WP7-only and killing of everything else including there cash-cow.
