You joke about a team starting the year winless, or 2-18 after a quarter of the way in, but you never think it will actually happen. A lot is at stake tonight against the Bobcats, namely the tag of worse team in the East. It's been a few years since we've had to worry about that tag, but it's quickly approaching.
The good news is the Bobcats are right there with us, and we have a chance to stop the bleeding, yea…
I had a chance to speak to Brett Hainline of Queen City Hoops about the Bobcats:
The trading of Chandler (along with the cutting of Dampiers non-guaranteed contract), then signing Kwame Brown to fill the void seems contrary to Michael Jordan's stated goal of making the playoffs. I was almost waiting for the other shoe to where Adam Morrison gets an invite to camp. What's going on?
With the re-signing of Tyrus Thomas, the Bobcats payroll for this coming season was beyond what MJ was willing to pay for a borderline playoff team. If Tyson was still in Charlotte (and stayed healthy most of the year), the Bobcats ceiling is still, what, 48 wins? That's based off the 44 last year, and Tyrus Thomas and Stephen Jackson being in Charlotte for the full season (and ignoring going from Raymond to D.J. at the point). Apparently, MJ and the front office think that the core of Jax, Crash, Boris, and Tyrus are still a borderline playoff team, and now a little cheaper (but just a little).
The Bobcats seem really thin at the point. Letting Felton walk was real suspect considering Livingston is the backup at point. The Bobcats have the luxury of Stephen Jackson at the point-forward, but this isn't an ideal situation. Brown and Augustin seemingly haven't been on the same page, but to his credit, he has played pretty well to start the season all things considered. How do you see this playing out?
D.J. had a really strong rookie season, providing some instant scoring off the bench. Based on his size, and skill set, that seemed like a great role for him. Cost considerations have forced him into a bigger role – and so far he has handled it well – at least offensively. In fact, despite some concerns that D.J. was too much of a shoot-first point for Larry's taste, LB has been chiding D.J. to shoot more early this season. However, defensively, concerns still exist – D.J. is only an inch or so shorter than Raymond, but Raymond had a bit more heft to him that helped him defend and get through screens a bit better than D.J. has been able to. That is going to be the greatest concern – can D.J. defend well enough to justify starter's minutes.
1-6 to start the season, but the Indiana and Detroit games were very winnable. Looking at the schedule, The rest of November isn't horrible in terms of quality of opponents, can we expect to see an improvement, or are you guys bound to the same fate as Raptor fans?
The Cats started slow last year as well – and turnovers were a big part of the problem then as well. Early in the season, this is a team that is going to struggle to score, as switching point guards from last year is a significant change from last season. The roster turnover was somewhat low for a Bobcats team – but just for a Bobcats team, as the team has 2 different starters, 2 new players in the rotation (Livingston and Kwame Brown expected to garner minutes when he gets healthy), and 5 new players overall. That unfamiliarity (and Larry Brown's general complex/detailed playbook) takes a while to gel.
Additionally, the Bobcats are still figuring out how to defend with this different group of players – last year, they relied on Tyson Chandler and Theo Ratliff to lock down the post, and Nazr played with a focus on scoring. WIth Nazr starting this year, the Cats defensive strength is missing so far. DeSagana Diop and Kwame Brown are going to be counted on to provide those minutes – Diop's been solid so far and we've yet to see what Kwame will provide.
Anything else you want to add about this squad?
It's been a slow start – but rather than the some of the older squads of the past, there is some reason to be excited about this one, even in losses. Watching them run out a long, athletic group with Livingston, Gerald Henderson, Derrick Brown, Tyrus Thomas, and Boris Diaw – it's fun basketball to watch. Boris may seem like an odd fit with these lanky athletes -but his skill set and versatility on defense are a good complement.
Injury Report
Ed Davis – Out
Kwame Brown – Out
Boris Diaw – Day-to-day
PG – Jack vs Augustin
Must be my curse, but as soon as I picked up Augustin for my fantasy league, he had two pretty games in a row, and I was forced to drop him. Overall he's had a pretty good start to the season considering he's essentially the load at point on his own. I suspect he breaks out from that funk tonight because he is a quick guard who has 3-point range: a recipe for playing well against the Raptors. Jack bounced back from a couple pretty brutal games with a solid outing against the Warriors, all things considered of course. I mean, when Curry puts up 34pts 5rebs 4ast 3stl on a bum ankle, his 24pts 8ast is put into perspective. Jack can give Augustin some problems with size and strength, and with Calderon on the second unit, they can really take it to the Augustin and Livingston and Collins all night. We have the horses here, just have to go at them and want to put a thin point guard situation to a test. One thing that has me concerned is Augustin's passing ability that comes off his quickness…whatever….
Edge: Augustin wins the individual dual, but the Raptors win at point overall
SG – DeRozan vs Jackson
The league is filled with quality shooting guards, so DeRozan wont be walking into many match-ups where he has an edge. Jackson is a world champion, wiley vet, and destructive force all wrapped into a nice bull-dog of a package. If he's on, this is going to get messy. He does so much, so well, that DeMar will be tested in all facets of the game. What DeMar has in his pocket is his athleticism and quickness, as does Weems. Running the floor and making Jackson run around screens is the only chance they have at slowing him down. Get him frustrated, and hopefully he implodes.
Edge: Jackson
SF – Kleiza vs Wallace
Kleiza hasn't had to deal with a kamikaze forward who crashes the boards and plays off the ball very well. This is a key match-up for the game, and I would be totally down on this one, except that Kleiza is coming off a strong performance against the Warriors that should carry over. I'd like to see Kleiza go to the post, and try to get Gerald into foul trouble. On the offensive glass, Wallace is one of the best, and if it comes down to a hustle match-up, will grab everything Evans doesn't. It's really going to be a long night for Linas, I don't see any two ways about it.
Edge: Wallace
PF – Evans vs Diaw
Diaw was a nose hair away from being the Raptor, so it would only be fitting if he killed us tonight. Evans should own on the boards, and it's a draw defensively, but Diaw is crafty and can contribute in all fronts on offense: passing, shooting, in the post. He has been playing big minutes, and with his conditioning (as far as I remember), it might take a toll on him. It should be noted that Tyrus Thomas could potentially move into the starting lineup as a result of his solid play in limited play off the bench. If this is the case, he will give Evans a hell of a time since he's longer, faster and more athletic. I'd expect to see a lot more of Amir Johnson tonight since he can negate what Thomas can bring to the table.
Edge: Even
C – Bargnani vs Mohammed
The Raptors have given Nazr a career over the years, affording him opportunities to put up big games (by his standards anyways). If Bargnani can't win this match-up, I'm putting 'Vegetable Lasagna' back on the table; I think that's fair.
Edge: Bargnani
Keys to the Game
Protect the Ball
Even without Chandler, the Bobcats are 8th in the league in points allowed, giving up 95.6 a contest. They put pressure on the ball, rotate well, and play solid man defense. With Jackson and Wallace playing big minutes anchoring the perimeter, crisp passes and ball movement will be crucial to peck at the brick wall.
Play Big
This is one of those games where Amir has to keep his head in it. The Bobcats are the second worse rebounding team in the league. Control the glass, get more possessions and run it down their throat. The Raptors offense can put a lot of pressure on the Bobcats if they get out and run, which all comes down to grabbing the rebound on starting the break. The Bobcats are also the worst offensive team in the league, so there should be plenty rebounds to grab, especially with the questionable shots Jackson takes. No excuses for Bargnani either; saying he scores and doesn't need to grab rebounds is simply ignoring the fact that scoring is only one dimension of playing ball. Bargnani will never become a wicked defender, but he at 7 feet, can grab rebounds. Stop pussyfooting, take off your panties and do something already.
Sense of Urgency
1-6 to start the season with a winnable game against an equally inept team. The Bobcats have starish type players who can take over a game, but the Raptors just can't let them. Enough's-enough boys, it's time to put the women and children to sleep and perform.
The Line
The gamblers have the Raptors as 2 point favourites, with an over/under of 194.5. This game is prime to be ground out. The Bobcats have the personell to win these sorts of games since they are so defensively efficient. Still doesn't mean the Raptors can't impose their style of play against a team that isn't playing very well right now.
You can support the team by following the #RTZ (Raptors Twitter Zone) hashtag. Regardless of how bad this team is playing, we're all fans and want to see them find their way. Respect to Nat from Heels on Hardwood for putting this initiative together.
We got Twitter, Facebook and Live Chat; what say you?
Sorry there aren't any shot charts, if you're so inclined, you can check out their last game against the Spurs here.

Most of us dread the thought of losing our memory, but there are always a few recollections we'd be happy to erase. (Personally, I'd love to forget I ever saw Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie.) In the, ahem, memorable 2004 film The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, screenwriter Charlie Kaufman posited a scientific means of obliterating unhappy memories. In Rosa Labordé's gripping new play True, a New Age-y musician and recovering addict named Franco keeps attempting the same thing in a more low-tech way—with therapeutic rituals meant to clear the air and bury the past. He's also a fan of the "re-do." When a situation gets tense or ugly, he tries to rewind the action and start again on a better tack.
By the end of this short but emotionally and intellectually packed drama, Labordé uses the re-do herself, to heartbreaking effect.
True, first produced this summer for the Toronto Fringe, is, as I write, back for an encore run at its original site-specific venue, the Citizenry Café on Queen Street West. In the play, the venue stands in for a family-run café-cum-clothing store. Marie, also an ex-addict, and husband Franco manage the (non-alcoholic) bar up front; Marie's younger sister Anita sells apparel in the back; and older sis Cece adorns the premises with her ikebana floral arrangements. (I guess you've got to diversify to afford those Queen West rents.)
Where Franco is into forgetting the past, Marie is the opposite: she's the sort of person who boycotts all things Italian just because she was once flashed by a pervert at Rome's Fontana di Trevi and the authorities did nothing about it. But the three sisters share far more dreadful memories, which are dredged up when their estranged father Roy comes wandering into the place after-hours.
Roy, benign and bewildered—and played by Layne Coleman with startling authenticity—is now a victim of Alzheimer's. He enters wearing pyjamas under his coat and clutching a handwritten note of unknown authorship, which scolds his daughters for abandoning their father. Due to his decaying memory, his conversation runs in loops, the same observations and questions recurring again and again. Most painful is his repeated query about Cece's odd brain-injury-related speech impairment and how she acquired it.
What do you do with a dad who was an alcoholic, a philanderer and physically abusive? Should his children continue to shut him out of their lives now that he's ailing and helpless? Marie abhors him, Cece still seems traumatized by him, but Anita—who, as the youngest, probably remembers him the least—is inclined to pity him and invite him to dinner. Franco, who has never met Roy, finds him likable, in part because the old man shares his love of music.
As the sisters argue, Labordé inserts flashbacks to their most horrifying memory of their father, replayed three times from each of their three slightly different perspectives. But the playwright is interested in more than just the vagaries and fragilities of memory; her characters also make allusions to parallel universes and alternate realities, those concepts beloved of theoretical physicists and science-fiction writers. It may put you in mind of John Mighton's haunting 1990 play Possible Worlds, which will be getting a much-deserved revival at the Stratford Festival next year.
And speaking of Stratford, it's impossible to watch True without also thinking of the festival's current headline show, King Lear. Labordé's play could, in fact, be an alternate-reality Lear, in which the addled father is more sinning than sinned against, while his daughters have good cause to defy him—although Anita, the Cordelia figure, still shows compassion.
Not to compare apples and oranges, but I found Coleman's Lear-like Roy more moving than Colm Feore's bravura portrayal of the mad king in Stratford's production. His Roy is funny (insofar as dementia can be considered amusing), pathetic and, in the flashbacks, frightening. But as much as he may be despised, it is clear he is already paying for his past behaviour in the moments when he tries desperately to grasp at the memories flitting through the ruins of his crumbling mind.
Coleman is a fixture of the Toronto theatre community (he's a past artistic director of Theatre Passe Muraille), who was most recently seen last year as a snarky aging hipster in Linda Griffiths' Heaven Above Heaven Below. His program note says he's received four Dora nominations for acting; while it's pretty early in the season to be thinking about awards, his performance here ought to net him a fifth.
Ingrid Rae Doucet, Sabrina Grdevich and Shannon Taylor provide both striking contrasts and a convincing sibling dynamic as the three sisters. Grdevich's forceful Marie is the extremist, whose treatment of Roy comes close to cruelty when she decides to play along with his delusion that she is her late mother. Taylor's sweet Anita is the moderate one. Between them, Doucet's damaged Cece looks as delicate as her flower arrangements and, despite her stammer, says much with her injured-animal eyes. Scott McCord is appealing as the weak-willed and slightly flaky Franco, who seems at his happiest banging out rock ballads on the piano.
Labordé has directed her own play, making the most of the café's long, narrow space by having the majority of the action occur near the bar up front, virtually in our faces, while characters retreat and cool down in the "upstage" clothing store and on a back patio that effectively becomes a backdrop. Trevor Schwellnus's abrupt shifts in lighting and Thomas Ryder-Payne's ominous sound design catapult us into the family's traumatic past.
The Toronto-based Labordé first grabbed attention in 2006 with her Tarragon Theatre hit Léo, a play set in Allende-era Chile, which made the GG shortlist and went on to be produced nationally. I haven't seen her subsequent work, apart from Marine Life (SummerWorks 2012), which was disappointing. True has some weak spots and a loose thread or two, but with this ambitious and thought-provoking take on the "memory play" Labordé proves that she's still a writer to be reckoned with.

Comic Book Business Idea
If you'd like to start a comic book business, the first thing that you need to decide is whether you'd like to publish or distribute. This article will focus on the retail side of things, giving you the basics about starting a comic book enterprise.
Your store can have an actual physical location, such as in a strip mall or downtown area, or it can operate solely online.
Before building up an inventory and finding customers, you'll need to decide which genres to focus on. The world of comic books and graphic novels is immense – choosing a niche within this space is essential when just getting started.
Start A Comic Book Business With The Right Stuff
The types of equipment and supplies that you'll need to start a comic book business will depend on whether it's an online venture, a brick-and-mortar business – or both. If you're going to own an actual store, you're going to need things like cash registers, shopping bags and POS (point-of-sale) equipment. If you're strictly going to sell online, you're going to need shipping supplies – including boxes, mailing labels, scales and tape.
For processing online orders, you'll also need credit card processing software. You'll also need a decent computer and a reliable connection to the Internet.
Beyond all of the basics, you're going to need to keep plenty of comic books on hand. There is one primary comic books distributor: Diamond Comic Distributors. Publishers sell their comic books to Diamond, and Diamond sells them at wholesale prices to retailers. No matter what genres you've decided to focus on, you should be able to keep a steady stream of titles on the shelves by working with Diamond.
Training For Your Comic Book Store
Anyone who'd like to start a comic book business is sure to be a huge fan of comic books in general. Therefore, you should already have a decent amount of knowledge about popular comic books. You should also have a firm grasp on how to appeal to comic book customers, since you are one yourself.
The challenge is going to come in with running an actual business. You're going to need to learn about paying taxes on your earnings, how to charge sales tax (when applicable) and the process of paying employees if you are going to have any.
Before venturing into the comic book selling business, then, you should take some basic business courses. If possible, talk to other local comic book business owners to see what they recommend in terms of training.
Finding Customers
In the case of a physical store, a location near a college or university campus is a great idea. Otherwise, a downtown location is a smart choice. Either way, try to get a feel for what local comic book buyers are into – that way, you'll get an idea about what genres to keep in stock.
Whether your venture is online or not, marketing online is key. Frequently visit comic book-related websites and exchange links to the website that you've created for your store. Finally, try to participate in as many comic book conventions as possible – they are among the easiest ways to spread the word about your comic book business.
Expanding Your Comic Book Business
Once you start a comic book business and have been at it for a while, you might want to think about expanding your store. There's a lot of comic book character-related merchandise out there that you could sell: miniatures, posters, movies and apparel are all viable options.
Work hard to get comic book artists to come in for signings, too, since it will boost the image of your business and will help draw a crowd. You could even think about offering comic book writing lessons. No matter what you do, your enthusiasm for comic books in general should help you succeed when you choose to start a comic book business.

Welcome to 2015!
How did you see in the new year?
I had a quiet night in with close friends, favourite foods and good fun. At midnight, with both sparklers and 'sparkly', we toasted goodbye to 2014 and welcome to 2015. I wish you all the best of happiness and good fortune in the coming year.
Thank you for your support in 2014, especially for visiting, reading, emailing, sharing, supporting, encouraging, teaching, commenting, introducing yourself and allowing me to get to know you and make new friends in the crafty side of the blogosphere. May this trend continue in 2015.
What do you want from 2015?
I want 2015 to be the year for new projects; when I say 'new', I mean altogether new–projects that are new to the world because they are projects that I have either redesigned in part with modifications or projects that have been designed from scratch all by myself.
Looking back through the last few years of crochet work, I realised that there are projects I had intended to share on Lupey Loops but didn't get around to posting, including projects that I had fun designing myself. In 2015 I will make a special effort to catch up on sharing all the news.
Shall I be a tease and give a sneak preview? That way you can help me to be accountable for my intentions.
Have a look at my review of 2013: http://lupeyloops.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/2013-success-or-failure.html
There are projects there that have stories to go with them that need to be told!

I recently accidentally revealed I have enough studio art credits for a degree but I never took Art History.
My college didn't offer double majors when I was there so there didn't seem like any point.
But now I've discovered this hilarious interpretation of art history….
"Art history has never been so easy! Reddit user DontTacoBoutIt (now a dead account) posted a series of famous paintings and gave short but hilariously accurate explanations on how to recognize their authors. According to him, Da Vinci's works can be recognized by the bluish mist and locations reminiscent of Lord of The Rings movies, while Rubens'paintings can be identified by the figures' large behinds."

Locked On Sports: Satisfying those basketball Joneses
If you have an ounce of NBA blood in your heart, you have loved the past two weeks. If you have a basketball Jones, it must have been well fed.
From the individual performances to the brilliant teamwork, the NBA playoffs have been a nightly drama.
The best players and teams have wowed us with their brilliance and in the next moment choked. While individuals rose above the moment, the best teams moved together in unison like a Cirque du Soleil acrobat with no room for error.
The Association has been desperate for someone to step onto Michael's stage since he ended his career with the Bulls. Litanies of failures have washed by our eyes. Most of them cursed with the disease of "me."
Now the progression to that stage is filled with successors and instead of one man like Jordan, it will be a constant battle among numerous for the title of king of the moment.
Youngsters LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade present a trinity that may be unprecedented. While James and Wade are slowly starting on the arduous climb into the championship circle, Anthony with an equal amount of skill has yet to devise a way to complement his teammates.
Love him or hate him, Kobe Bryant is must-see TV. His on-floor exploits are hard to imagine, yet he is still shadowed with criticism. No matter what his approach, he is either shooting too much or not shooting enough and someone will always be his critic.
Critics or not, Bryant is a TiVo player and the NBA has become filled with them.
A TiVo player is one you can't afford to miss. A player who might just pull off a game or a play that you will want to make sure you can see again.
James going head-to-head with the lesser-known Gilbert Arenas of Washington was the essence of a TiVo matchup. Both of them dropped 40 in the same game and were consistently matching buckets and game-winners until Arenas finally blinked, missing two free throws late in Game 6.
Arenas exemplifies how the NBA is exploding with talent. He may not be a top-10 player in the NBA and yet he was as dominating as any of the game's stars.
It may not seem like 15 years ago, but this June it will be 15 years since Jordan held onto his first championship trophy.
The NBA wanted the next Jordan to arrive the day Jordan left. Instead, the Jordan generation has now come to the NBA. Jordan's popularity in the late '80s and the '90s has formed a generation of basketball players.
Every kid wanted to be Jordan. Therefore, the best athletes played hoops. The dividends of Jordan's popularity are now in the league with the Jordan generation.
Poetically, the first of the failed candidates to be the next MJ, Vince Carter, is in the midst of a revival. While the headlines were elsewhere, Carter averaged 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the first round.
New Jersey point guard Jason Kidd is the architect of Carter's resurgence. Carter was never able to carry a team to wins until he was coupled with one of the game's great distributors.
It is representative of the second trend that should headline these playoffs. While the next generation of stars is battling for a spot at Jordan's throne, the teams defined by teamwork and complementary play are superior.
The world champion San Antonio Spurs looked vulnerable against Sacramento until it was crunch time in Game 5. With the game separated by just one possession, they linked eight perfectly executed offensive sets and the Kings were done.
After failing to find their regular-season vibe for the first four games of the series, the Phoenix Suns re-established the best pick-and-roll-game in the NBA in Game 5 against the Lakers and came back to stun Kobe and the Lakers.
Two-time MVP Steve Nash was a puppeteer. Conducting off the left side of the floor, Nash, using his unreal balance, exploited every defense Phil Jackson concocted to stop the Suns.
Finally on Sunday, Detroit dismantled James and the Cavs. The defensive connectivity of the Pistons stymied all of James' goals. If the Cavs isolated James, the tandem of Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace would have cut off his path. If the Cavs ran him off picks, the Pistons negated the move.
James' eventual collapse against the Pistons will mirror Jordan's of nearly 20 years ago. Once again in an individual-highlighted game, until James becomes the leader of a team, his ascent will be derailed.
Yet another story line to satisfy your basketball Jones.

There was a time when BBC English was some kind of standard, and indeed in its laziness, imprecision, inelegance, and lack of respect for grammar and syntax I suppose it does now reflect majority speech, but it has lost all credibility as a standard towards which learners might strive.
I listen to BBC World Service news every morning that the feeble downgraded transmitters allow reception. The usual presenter has adopted the irritating mannerism of putting an 'Uh' or 'Er' between every three words, and today, among other infelicities of speech, he talked of 'A wall of razor-wire' on a Hungarian border. A wall? A fence, perhaps? What am I to say to my young Greek pupils, trying hard to learn English?
The person who reads the actual news summary at the beginning is usually rather better, but today he came out with the following gem:
'They are accused of crimes in three Australian states, including theft and arson.'
The Australians usually tend to be reticent about the origins of non-native settlers, witness the person — I think it was Noel Coward — who, when asked if he had a criminal record, displeased the immigration officer by replying 'Oh, is it still a requirement?' I had not realized that Australian states are in fact named after crimes.

Easy Mini Apple Pies
2 comments :
I add my endorsement of thrift shopping, Dori. Our family budget was quite lean for most of the years my kids were growing up. I saved up 15-20 each month so the kids could go to garage sales with me during the summer to get their school clothes. They loved it because they could get things without restrictions on how many, just like you said. The thrift store helped with clothing, camping trips, snow trips and my daughter got a beautiful dress for her first dressy school dance! Hurray for you passing on all these great traditions!ReplyDelete
I LOVE thrift stores, Dori! Huge fan! When my oldest son, Lucas, was in jr high/high school he didn't like to shop and we went around and around. Jack and I decided to just give him money and let him buy what he wanted. So for school shopping that year we gave him a $100 bill and said this is for your school clothes, see how much you can buy with it. He said, "Will you take me to Goodwill?" We did and he came home literally with bags of clothes and he was hooked and still is to this day. He found a vintage camel hair blazer at a thrift store the other day for $10 and was thrilled. We have done that ever since with all 4 kids and it works really well! I will be trying these pies really soon, too. They look amazing! Thanks, Dori!ReplyDelete

Transco Plc v United Utilities Water Plc [2005] EWHC 2784
Tort – Negligence – Duty of Care – Economic Loss – Proximity – Trespass to Goods – Wrongful Interference with goods
United Utilities Water (UUW) operated water networks in the UK. UUW were required to shut off the water while undertaking street work. An UUW employee mistakenly shut off a gas valve rather than a water valve. As a result, Transco (the gas company) incurred substantial costs in restoring and investigating the issues surrounding the gas supplies. Transco alleged UUW was liable for negligence and trespass, seeking to claim pure economic loss.
Was there necessary proximity in the relationship between the parties for UUW to owe Transco a duty of care?
Reasonable proximity was found to exist between the parties, as both parties operated in the same street and both were public utilities. It was reasonable to expect that accidentally shutting off the wrong valve may affect the installation of other providers or installers, which were located in the same substrata. Transco sought to recover economic loss resulting from UUW's actions. The "spirit" of physical damage to property included any damage caused to reputation and wrongful interference with goods or land. UUW had negligently interfered with the property owned by Transco, which had consequentially resulted in loss. Transco were seeking to recover the costs of rectifying the damage, not the consequential loss flowing from the interruption of the supply. It was considered irrelevant that no physical damage occurred to the pipe, thus liability under the Torts Interference with Goods Act 1977 was established. As street works were being carried out at the time of the incident, UUW was also liable to compensate Transco under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, s 82(1)(b).

Fourteen companies will compete for task orders under a $494.9 million Air Force contract for hosted payload solutions.
A hosted payload is when the Air Force or other government agencies adds a payload to a commercial satellite launch. The practice has tremendous savings potential because the government doesn't have to build and launch a rocket of its own.
This contract creates a pool of contractors that the government can quickly turn to various payload missions.
The 14 the Air Force picked are:
The scope of work includes procurement of hosted payload missions and procurement of hosted payload studies, according to the Defense Department announcement.
Space and ground systems support and on-orbit support for data transfer to the government customer are expected services.
All of the companies who bid on the contract won awards.
The contract runs through Jan. 31, 2029, and only $975,696 are obligated at this time.

HIGH POINT, N.C. — Kilims dressed nearly every square inch of Ligia Jamieson's exposition space at the recent furniture market here, their rich colors, patterns and textures lending the air of an exotic bazaar to the trade event.
The flat-woven rugs, a traditional folk art form in the Middle East, blanketed the floor and were draped into tie-back curtains. Pieces of kilims had been recycled into pillow covers. Kilims were used as upholstery for benches, mirrors, headboards, chests, bar stools, screens, pedestals and ottomans.

Casey Anthony's Parents Grilled By Dr. Phil — See The First Explosive Excerpt From Their Tell-All Interview!
George and Cindy Anthony shuffle uncomfortably while TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw demands the truth about the death of their granddaughter Caylee, in a tantalizing new trailer.
The show, which airs on September 12, will be the couple's first interview and comes just two months after their daughter Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murdering two-year-old Caylee. Do you think they'll tell the truth?
During the trial, Casey accused her dad George of covering up Caylee's accidental drowning. She also alleged he molested her during her childhood.
The Anthonys denied both claims and even testified AGAINST their daughter in court.
Dr. Phil promises his interview with the couple will get to the bottom of their bizarre relationship with their daughter — and find out exactly what happened to Caylee.
In one clip, the daytime heavyweight challenges the Anthonys saying, "I want you to answer my questions, the truth once and for all."
In another he turns on mom Cindy, telling her, "There are millions of people who want to shake you awake."
Watch the trailer and tell us what you think? Will we get the truth?

One of the top priorities of the U. S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Iowa is to protect the civil rights of the citizens of the Northern District of Iowa.
All complaints of civil rights violations are reviewed by the civil rights attorney in the Civil Division. The complaint is then forwarded to the Civil Rights Division in Washington, D.C., for review and a final determination for prosecution.
Instances of alleged police misconduct or official misconduct, are forwarded to the local FBI for investigation prior to forwarding to the Civil Rights Division in Washington.
The primary area of civil, civil prosecution in the Northern District of Iowa is Americans with Disabilities Act cases. Other complaints the Northern District has reviewed for referral and prosecution include complaints of violations in the areas of fair housing, civil rights of institutionalized person, and official misconduct.
One of the most comprehensive reviews and resolutions of architectural barriers in a shopping mall in the United States was negotiated through the efforts of the Northern District of Iowa. The Department of Justice signed an agreement resolving a complaint filed against College Square Mall in Cedar Falls, Iowa, by an individual who had difficulty accessing portions of the mall in a wheelchair. More than two-hundred ADA violations were remedied and the former owner agreed to pay a civil penalty of $40,000 to the United States. Articles may be viewed at http://www.ada.gov/newsltr0807.htm or http://www.ada.gov/collegesqr.htm.
In 2007 and 2010, the Civil Division, was recognized by the Department of Justice with a Certificate of Commendation for "outstanding performance and invaluable assistance in support of the activities of the Civil Rights Division ."
I. Americans with Disabilities Act Web Site
The ADA web site may be accessed at: www.ada.gov
The ADA web site is an invaluable and comprehensive source of information that covers compliance with the ADA and includes: a toll-free information line; ADA Publications which includes videos; guidance for businesses and non-profit service providers; guidance for state and local governments; information for law enforcement; instructions on filing a complaint; federal resources; other resources; and the recent amendments to the ADA, including changes made by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-325).
II. Community Outreach
A. Project Civic Access (PCA)
In November 2007, the U. S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Iowa conducted a seminar entitled "Project Civic Access: First Steps Toward Solving Common ADA Problems." The focus of the conference was to introduce attendees to the newly developed PCA Toolkit which is designed to help state and local government voluntarily conduct their own assessment of compliance with the ADA without the need for federal intervention, and ensure equal access to important government programs, services and activities for persons with disabilities.
Numerous attendees have contacted the U. S. Attorney's office after the conference for assistance with their ADA questions.
B. ADA Voting Compliance
In 2008 and 2012, the U. S. Attorney's office mailed an informational publication and CD entitled "ADA Checklist for Polling Places" to all counties in the Northern District of Iowa. The publication and CD provided information designed to help ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act to all counties. The checklist was provided to assist counties in discovering and correcting problems at polling places.
C. Access to Emergency Call Centers Using Text Messaging
On August 5, 2009, under a pilot project, the Black HAwk County, Iowa, Consolidated Public Safety Communications Center became the first emergency call center in the nation to accept text messages from cell phones. The ground-breaking service was initiated with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District Iowa. Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Wright sent a Short Message Service (SMS) message to the call center during a press conference. This service for text users will particularly benefit people with hearing or speech disabilities enabling them to report an accident or other emergency quickly using their cell phones without having to locate a TTY to report the incident. Learn more about this project at: http://www.ada.gov/newsltr0909.htm.

I realise that to be surprised by over-reactions in social media is akin to expressing shock at the rising of the sun each morning but I must admit I have been a little taken aback by some of the sentiments on my timeline in relation to the tube strikes. A lot of it centres on Bob Crow. His media image, which I think in part he plays up to, certainly allows for him to be a conveniently pugnacious caricature of a union boss. For the media there is a vaudevillian fairground wrestling aspect to a match up of Crow v Johnson. The Black Crow v The Blonde Bombhsell. (An image I wish I hadn't conjured as I fear my dreams will now be haunted by these two men in leotards grappling like greased pigs.)
It is remarkable that the situation has been allowed to deteriorate to where we are at present and to some extent this represents a failing on both sides. However, the Union is using the power that it holds to cause public inconvenience in an attempt to bring Johnson and Tfl to the table to negotiate. Given the asymmetries in power this tactic is understandable.
Boris has painted the process by which the strike was called undemocratic. The irony in him saying this having been elected on a similar turnout should not be lost on people. In some of his utterances on the strike I think we have seen that once there is a scratch to the carefully cultivated veneer of amiable, Woosterish buffoonery we see his true Thatcherite colours.
In London Johnson has presided over cuts to the police and fire service despite election promises that this would not happen. This strike was precipitated by his desire to close all ticket offices despite previous pledges to keep them all open. The resulting loss in jobs represents a hefty chunk of the membership of the two unions on strike. In my view they are duty bound to protect those workers interests and I do not believe this was a decision they will have entered into lightly.
I believe that this form of representation is vitally important in our democracy. Increasingly, as party memberships decline we need people to come together to ensure their voices are heard. Unions are a part of this. What we normally see is those with the wherewithal being able to shout the loudest and ensure their voices are heard by their representatives. The unions were established to give a voice to those who had been marginalised. This role remains but they are not the only outlet for this.
The other night I went to the pre-election meeting held by St Mary's Park councillors. The topics were varied, touching on everything from dog mess (not literally) to affordable housing. I was pleased that the council seem to be moving away from the misguided notion of removing the traffic barrier at the end of Battersea High Street thereby creating a rat run.
What was noticeable about this decision was that the councillors distanced themselves from the decision after vocal opposition from local residents who had attended the meeting to let their displeasure at the plan be known. The power of a small part of the local community working together was impressive.
For me though there was a stand out moment to the meeting. A teenager,Virgilio, from the local Surrey Lane estate, spoke to the meeting and asked for support from the councillors and the community to make sure the estate's playpen was fit for purpose. Virgilio had come as part of the Surrey Lane People's organization, a local community group. It was refreshing to see this group bring in local residents to this forum who may not have attended in the past. For too long it has been too easy for local representatives to ignore these citizens' concerns if they are not involved in the processes of local democracy such as this meeting and voting in local elections. Unions provided (and still do) a vital way for workers to make their voice heard and progress their interests. These sorts of citizens organizations can do the same for local residents in often historically marginalised communities.
Local politics needs more groups like this if representative democracy is going to function as it should. The more that people from all across our society feel sufficiently involved and enfranchised then the better our society will be. At the next local meeting it would be great to hear from residents of Badric Court or Totteridge House similarly speaking up for their area and making sure their issues resonate as they should with those who are supposed to represent them.

On the website for each school in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, there is a School Accountability Report Card that has valuable information, including salaries, test scores, expenditure per pupil and more.
The report card also includes the "Academic Performance Index Ranks."
I like these because they show where a particular school rates compared with similar schools in the state on a 1-to-10 scale. A 1 means the school's API score is in the lowest 10% of all schools in the state, according to the district's website. A 10 means the school's API score is in the highest 10% in the state.
One year ago, I wrote, "At Pomona, Whittier and Wilson elementary schools, the latest reported Academic Performance Index rankings (2008) all have a statewide ranking of 2 on a scale from 1 to 10. Whittier has gone backward, having ranked as high as 4 in 2006. In 2006, Pomona and Wilson ranked 1 and 2, respectively" ("City Life: Education as an investment").

Apple boasts that it has reached new heights in terms of performance and miniaturization of the new Retina MacBook Pro systems.
At the same time the miniaturization of components indicate that their repair cannot be made by humans but robots, making the situation a very costly process. The 15″ model has a similar configuration to that of 2012 but with minor significant differences. Headphone connector is now integrated on the motherboard, and as it is used enough, its repair could be possible only by changing the PCB. Like last year's model, the battery cannot change, being attached to the chassis of the laptop with a lot of glue. SSD is connected to the motherboard via PCI Express and not mSATA, offering reading and writing speeds.
The processor and graphics chip are the same and their replacement in case of failure is impossible. Even the 802.11 NIC is included in the PCB motherboard. And for the 13-inch model the situation is similar, even the display is very securely attached to its outer casing that its posting might be possible just in pieces. RAM is built near the processor, on the motherboard and an upgrade is hardly possible. So you must be very careful when you decide to acquire this MacBook Pro because you could stay with the same configuration until upgrading to a better one.

Bound together by lifelong friendship and shared experience for more than 25 years, the Fisherman's Friends have met on the Platt (harbour) in their native Port Isaac to raise money for charity, singing the traditional songs of the sea handed down to them by their forefathers.
In 2010 they signed a major record deal and their album 'Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends' went Gold as they became the first traditional folk act to land a UK top ten album. Since then they've been the subject of an ITV documentary, released the hit albums 'One and All' (2013) and 'Proper Job' (2015) and played to hundreds of thousands of fans at home and abroad.
Fisherman's Friends sang for HM The Queen at her Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012 and were selected to sing for Prince Charles & Camilla during their 2016 tour of Cornwall. They were honoured with the Good Tradition Award at the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2011.
Other standout performances include the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Beautiful Days, Sidmouth Folk Week, Looe Music Festival, Costa del Folk in Portugal and the BBC Proms in the Park.
The Fisherman's Friends have been widely credited with starting the revival of interest in shanty-style choral singing but a cornerstone of their success has been their constantly evolving and expanding repertoire.
TheFishermansFriends.com | Facebook | Twitter
The Fisherman's Friends are: brothers John & Jeremy Brown, writer and moustachioed MC Jon Cleave, potter Billy Hawkins, smallholder John 'Lefty' Lethbridge, builder John McDonnell, fisherman Jason Nicholas and film maker Toby Lobb.

The TEK3 utilizes all of the proven technology contained within the Apeks range of first stage regulators
The ports on the Tek 3 first stages are oriented so that all hoses will route downward to provide a streamlined configuration desired by technical divers.
Allows maximum unrestricted accessibility to the cylinder valves when using a twin cylinder set up
Features an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). This system gives the diver the ability to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. This gives the user a choice, wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater photography) and narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator. The regulator will be supplied with both sets of exhaust tees
Can be converted from a right-handed hose configuration to a left-handed one. The process of changing the regulator to a left-handed configuration is both quick and simple. However this procedure MUST only be performed by an APEKS Authorized Service Technician
Available with din connection only
Outstanding coldwater performance.
First Stage:
Compact, solid one-piece body
Unique over-balanced, diaphragm design - as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
1 HP port and 3 MP ports are all angles downward
An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out
Maximum working pressure is 300 BAR (4350 psi)
Second Stage:
The XTX50 is for the discriminating diver who wants the benefits of a feature-rich regulator at a moderate price. This popular regulator has four medium-pressure ports all mounted on a rotating turret. This results in optimal hose routing while eliminating sharp bends in the hose.
Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing
The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used. Press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the center for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
The large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.
Easy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control
The second stage is manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mould, yeast and algae.
A silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator
The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue
A heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient wáter

Marthoma Cheriapally Kothamangalam ::
The Catholica
Jacobite Syrian Church (Syrian Orthodox Church) of India, Iraq, and Syria, recognizing the Syrian Orthodox patriarch of Antioch as its spiritual head. The foundation of the Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church of Antioch goes back to early Apostolic days. This event in the history of Christianity is recorded in the Book of Acts 11:26 . Apostle Peter Himself established his See 37 AD. He is, therefore, rightly considered the founder and first Patriarch of the Syrian Orthodox Church.
The Syrian orthodox church in India functions as an integral part of the universal Syrian orthodox church. So, it is necessary to deal briefly about this universal church at first. When we study the preeminence of Antioch, which has been rightly acknowledged as the capital of Syrian Church, we will know the crucial position accorded to the Universal Syrian Orthodox Church in the history of Christianity. Though the Christian Church was first established in Jerusalem, due to severe persecutions, those who gave leadership to the church ere forced to leave the they adopted as a place of refuge, but it turned out to be a fertile ground for the propagation of Gospel. Soon Antioch become the capital of the whole Christendom.
The name Christian for believers was first pronounced at Antioch and that is an ample reason to establish the importance of Antioch (Act.11:26).St. Paul the greatest proponent of Gospel had adopted Antioch as the centre of his missionary activities. St. Paul along with Barnabas used Antioch as a center to spread the Gospel and established Churches at various places. St. Peter who gave leadership to the primitive church was not able to continue his work in Jerusalem because of persecution, Therefore he also chose Antioch as the centre of his activities, Antioch was in Short a place of refuge, chosen even by God to safeguard the infant church from perils of oppression. So it could be established that the Church, that was natured from Antioch as it' centre, has all the attributes of a full fledged Church and could be rightly called One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Just as St.Peter was its supreme head so also, even now, for the Syrian Orthodox Church, Antioch is the capital and Patriarch, as the successor of St.Peter, the supreme head of the Church. The Syrian Orthodox Church is in this way a remnant of the most ancient church that was born in Jerusalem and brought up in Antioch. The current head of the Syriac Orthodox Church is the Patriarch H.H. Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, who resides in Damascus, the capital of Syria. The Church has about 26 archdioceses and 11 Patriarchal Vicariates. The church in Malankara, Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church is an integral part of the Syriac Orthodox Church with the Patriarch of Antioch as its supreme head. The local head of the church in Malankara is the Catholicose of India, currently His Beatitude Baselios Thomas I, ordained by and accountable to the Patriarch of Antioch.

Image Notes
Autumn is a beautiful time of year in the city, and I love visiting the park during this season. The oranges and reds created by nature are so vibrant and beautiful. These colors, imposed over the canvas like a backdrop of the city, create a breathtaking setting… one that is further enhanced with the sweet aroma of warm honey-roasted nuts wafting through the evening chill. Central Park is truly a magical place where nature and the character of New York combine in serene harmony. It's a place where a quick cab ride lets you escape the big city and immerse yourself in nature's brilliant color palette. True to New York form, there is no place quite like Central Park in the fall.

Gear 101- How to Mic Your Guitar Amp (The Mic & The Placement)
"A common mic for the guitar amp is a cardioid dynamic type with a "presence peak" in its frequency response (a boost around 5kHz). A typical example is the Shure SM57. The cardioid pattern reduces leakage (off-mic sounds from other instruments). The dynamic type handles loud sounds without distorting, and the presence peak adds "bite." Of course, you can use any mic that sounds good to you. Ribbon mics often work well, too." -Brubart
Dynamic Mics
Ribbon Mics
Before Miking Up
The best way to start with an R-121 is to spend some time listening to the amp you're recording. While playing your guitar (or better yet, have someone play it for you), listen to the speaker cabinet and the individual speakers, both close-up (watch your ears!) and from different places in the room. At a close distance, you'll find that the speakers are brightest at the center of the dome, then they become darker as you move off center towards the edge of the speaker. You'll also find that the sound changes as you back away from the cabinet, often developing increased tonal complexity and low end, with the cabinet developing more thump and the acoustic characteristics of the room coming more into play.
Miking Electric Guitars
The following positions are good starting places for miking guitar cabs with R-121's. Try these positions to familiarize yourself with the microphone and how it picks up your amp. These positions are good for the R-121, R-122 and R-122V, but we'll refer only to the R-121 for this writing. Like everything, once you have the basics, experiment to see what else you find!
For the brightest sound, position the R-121 6″ to 8″ from the grill cloth, with the ribbon element centered on the dome of the speaker. This is usually too bright sounding a position, but it's good to know this sound before moving on. Like a tone control, you'll find that wherever you place the mic, moving it closer to the center of the speaker will give you more highs.
The tone becomes warmer as you move the microphone from the center of the speaker towards the edge of the speaker. Keeping the mic 6″ to 8″ from the grill cloth, move the mic halfway between the dome and the outside edge of the speaker. Point the mic straight ahead at the speaker cone. After listening to that, leave the mic in the same place but rotate it in its stand so it is pointed directly at the dome (center) of the speaker. The difference may be subtle, but you'll definitely hear it.
Now move the mic back to a distance of two feet, then three feet. This working distance is far more useful than many people know. You get speaker and cabinet development, and the spaciousness can sound remarkably good. The sound of the room you're recording in will affect your results – a good sounding room can add a nice character to your guitar tracks. If the room doesn't sound great but you like the ambiance of distance miking, you can hang sound deadening material behind the mic (no closer than 6 inches to the mic) to minimize room sound.
Now try the same positions you tried in #1 and #2 above, but closer to the cabinet (3″ to 5″ from the grill cloth). Being closer to the speaker, you'll notice more of a direct sound with very little room ambiance. You'll also notice the bass building up as you move the mic closer to the cabinet. This is due to proximity effect, which is a bass buildup that occurs as the microphone is moved closer to the sound source – the closer the mic is to the sound source, the greater the degree of bass buildup will be. Some microphones exhibit greater proximity effect than others – ribbons tend to have a lot of it. Proximity effect can be very useful, as when a vocalist moves closer to a studio condenser microphone to give a bigger, more authoritative sound to their voice. The same thing happens when using a ribbon on a guitar cabinet – the sound gets heavier in the bass as you move the mic closer to the cab, even by only an inch or two. You can balance the bass and bring more highs in by moving the mic closer to the center of the speaker.
For a dramatic bass buildup, place the mic 1 to 2 inches from the grill cloth. The microphone's proximity effect will give you larger-than-life low end. If the sound becomes overly bass heavy and overpowers the highs, simply back the mic off a little and/or move it closer to the dome of the speaker.
Note: When recording electric guitar at extremely close working distances, we recommend tilting the R-121 forward by 15 degrees or more. This angling of the mic helps to protect the ribbon element in extremely high SPL usage.
For tracking aggressive electric guitars, many engineers like to blend a close-up R-121 with other mics that have a more pronounced high end response (57's and 421's work well). Record the two (or more) mics to separate tracks and blend them to taste during the mix. The close-up R-121 will give big bass and strong mids, but the proximity effect may dampen the highs (depending on how close to the center of the speaker the mic is placed). Blending in the more aggressive high end response of the other mics gives a well-balanced rock tone.
Another option is to place an SM-57 close up and an R-121 three feet back pointed toward the middle of the cabinet.

The SAVE Foundation The SAVE Foundation
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
The SAVE (Student Advocates for Valuing the Environment) Foundation began as a student club at Carroll College in Helena, MT. The founders saw a need for recycling in the community so they restored a 1950's farm track, christened it the Savemobile, and set off to 'SAVE' the earth. They started out providing recycling for businesses, and expanded to providing plastics recycling for Helena. After their graduation, SAVE gained non-profit status. Since that time, SAVE has successfully advocated for sustainable living habits and common-sense legislation in the Montana Legislature. SAVE promotes biodiesel, graywater, electric vehicles and low carbon fuels.
Volunteers may help out at bimonthly recycling drives, distribution of flyers, policy work and more.

American viewers can look forward to meeting Arvingerne (The Legacy), the latest DR drama success story following in the fine tradition of 'Forbrydelsen' ('The Killing') and 'Borgen'.
Universal Cable Productions in the US plans to adapt Maya Ilsoe's family drama for an English-speaking audience and has purchased the rights to the show, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Doug Liman, who directed all the Bourne movies, is on board to produce the US adaptation.
Our craziest relatives
"The Legacy features the kind of extraordinary characters who are truly unique and remind us of some of our favourite (and craziest) relatives," he told Hollywood Reporter.
'Arvingerne' became an instant hit when the first episode of the ten-part family drama aired in January. The story follows four brothers and sisters who meet to settle the estate of their late mother, an internationally acclaimed artist. But what should have been a quick and painless process ends up revealing their deepest secrets and lies.
When an English version of the Danish drama is finally realised, it will join Scandinavian series like 'Forbrydelsen' and 'Broen' ('The Bridge') as shows that have been remade for subtitle-shy US audiences.

One thing that helps is to always "cvs update -dP" instead of just
"cvs update". '-d' makes sure that any new directories are added to your
local work-tree. '-P' makes sure that any delete/removed directories and

I want to apologize to President Obama. But first, some background.
I found out three weeks ago I have cancer. I'm 49 years old, have been married for almost 20 years and have two kids. My husband has his own small computer business, and I run a small nonprofit in the San Fernando Valley. I am also an artist. Money is tight, and we don't spend it frivolously. We're just ordinary, middle-class people, making an honest living, raising great kids and participating in our community, the kids' schools and church.
We're good people, and we work hard. But we haven't been able to afford health insurance for more than two years. And now I have third-stage breast cancer and am facing months of expensive treatment.
To understand how such a thing could happen to a family like ours, I need to take you back nine years to when my husband got laid off from the entertainment company where he'd worked for 10 years. Until then, we had been insured through his work, with a first-rate plan. After he got laid off, we got to keep that health insurance for 18 months through COBRA, by paying $1,300 a month, which was a huge burden on an unemployed father and his family.

My New iPad: A User's Guide
by Wallace Wang
Published by No Starch Press (an imprint of O'Reilly Media)
List $24.95, $15.44 from Amazon, $9.99 Kindle edition
For many people, the iPad is the most complex electronic device they'll ever own. Neither buying nor using it requires a computer (although rearranging your icons is a lot easier using iTunes than doing it on the iPad directly). From personal experience, my mother couldn't tell you the difference between a floppy disk, a CD, and a videotape, but she thinks the iPad is really cool.
So a lot of people could probably use a little help getting started with all of the features that the iPad has to offer; while there's always the Apple store, who wants to go to the mall anytime you have a question? Wallace Wang's new book, My First iPad, is a fairly comprehensive look at what the little machine can do, complete with step by step directions on how to do it. The instructions are laid out pretty well – I only noticed one instance where there was a skipped step, and it was fairly minor – and should be easy for even non-technical people to follow.
The book has 40 chapters divided into seven sections, starting with the basics (how to turn the iPad on and off, ways to conserve battery power) and moving into customizing the iPad, surfing the internet, transferring data, buying stuff in the Apple store, and basic troubleshooting.
Reading this book, I didn't see much I didn't already know after owning an iPad for a couple of months, but I'm a fairly technical person and also own an iPod touch; I see this aimed more at the non-techie person who doesn't normally spend a lot of time or money on gadgets. For that audience, this should be a very useful book, and I plan on giving my parents a copy once they get their first iPad.

Artist: Zakas
Genre: Rock
CD Review:
Grind it is then. Don't play it for your cat though, or you'll never see pussy again. 'Flying Two Kites' is rather progressive metal that often takes a break from itself to zip in some other-styles. For instance, this first song has some African-type beats that I wouldn't readily associate with the devilish guitars at hand. That's just while the guitarist is hosing down. Near the 6 minute mark there's an interesting Yes break, with a verbal yawn/stretch thrown in. Then there's 'Bunechu Shenobi', an Indian set-up, before the deep booming voice comes in to narrate like that guy doing 'The Torchum Never Stops' in Thing-Fish. Enough different styles and voices to make several bands. I admire their diversity, and would love to see them do a rock opera. They would define the genre.

Teen sensation Justin Bieber will both host and perform on the show Saturday Night Live (SNL) for the first time on February 9.
A source close to the 18-year-old confirmed he will present the comedy series and said that he is scheduled to do it next month to promote his Believe Acoustic album, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The confirmation comes after Bieber tweeted Monday: "Maybe I am hosting and performing on SNL. Maybe."
Bieber previously appeared on the Late-Night Show as a musical guest in April 2010. He is not the only big star who has agreed to host the show this year.
Adam Levine will make his hosting debut on January 26.
Levine's appearance will take place a week after Silver Linings Playbook actress Jennifer Lawrence makes an appearance on January 19 with a performance from The Lumineers.
