Spring 2017 Wedding Dress Trends
Key designers ushered in a new wave of au courant styles for Spring 2017, from brilliant bursts of color to fashion-conscious silhouettes to gowns that let their tops down—sort of.
Trend: Color
More painterly than ever, many designers splashed their dresses this season with bold strokes of color, including smoldering reds, heavenly blues, and—of course—requisite bridal blushes. "You don't have to wear a white dress anymore," says Brides Fashion Director Rachel Leonard, "but it still has to look like a wedding dress. The trick is to find a color that's flattering to your skin tone, and not everyone looks great in white."
Trend: Portrait Backs
Last season's sexy backs returned for Spring 2017 with a more demure, romantic attention to delicate embroideries, lace frames, and peekaboo keyholes. "You're not wearing a two-dimensional dress—people are looking at you from every angle," says Leonard. "Sheer backs with embroideries and appliques are sexy, but still modest. I love that look."
Trend: Peplums
Borrowing a popular silhouette from the couture runways, waist-defining peplums injected wedding gowns with a dose of haute style using both structured and softly draped shapes. "Peplums were huge," Leonard says. "It's fascinating how that really picked up this season. It's a high-fashion look that's sexy and graphic."
Trend: Lace Nouveau
Duchess Kate's royal wedding gown proved its influence after almost every collection this season showed some variation on lace—albeit unlike anything your grandmother would have worn. This graphic, floral fabric felt fresher than ever, re-worked into sexy silhouettes with a dash of tradition. "There's something about lace that pushes back on the technology-driven society we live it," Leonard notes. "It's soft. It's romantic. It takes us away."
Trend: Transformers
With more brides than ever calling for second party dresses, designers answered that demand with convertible styles that use removable skirts, trains, and capes to create a distinct reception look. "Think about how heavy your dress is going to be walking down the aisle, because some women really want to be able to move and run around later," says Leonard. "What we're seeing now is something for the ceremony and something for the reception that you can buy all at once. It works as an outfit that you peel away."

Most of our merchandise now ships for a flat rate. You can view the flat rate above in the Description section. Lots with Flat Rate shipping now include Full Insurance and Tracking. Flat Rate Lots ship via Priority Mail and will arrive in 2 to 4 business days depending on your location. During the holiday season shipping duration can increase. Have more questions? read our USA Shipping FAQS page.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COST: Generally, a parcel the size of a loaf of bread will cost $40 - $90 to ship international and will arrive in approximately 5 days (sometimes more, sometimes as quick as 3 days). If it is very heavy it will cost more whereas shipping to Canada is always less. A parcel the size of a microwave can cost $90 - $170, again this depends on weight. The largest parcel that can be exported is 24"x 18"x 18" which can weigh up to 50 pounds. This box will cost around $200 to $300 but is only suitable to clothing or accessories. Breakable merchandise, such as lotions, must be limited to around 30-35 pieces maximum per box otherwise they will not ship safely (100 lotions should NEVER be shipped in a single box; the box is too heavy to lift, will be thrown around by mail carriers and ultimately rip due to weight! Even if it did make it across the world, the weight of the lotions would crush each other.)
**WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to look into Freight Forwarders if you are buying over 25 pounds of merchandise. Forwarders are USUALLY much cheaper than shipping direct and usually faster too!
Most of our merchandise CAN SHIP INTERNATIONAL, however, make sure YOU CAN IMPORT the items you are purchasing. Watch the video above and visit our International Shipping Information section.

So here you are, on that coveted committee in your beloved institution of higher learning. Congratulations! Or is it a good thing? Maybe not so much!
You have to time decisions with a calendar, not a clock in higher education. We have committees for just about everything. There is probably a committee to study whether there are too many committees on campus. In any organization, culture shift is a slow process but higher ed brings it to a whole new level. I graduated from college 30 years ago and there are still several committees on campus studying the same issues we studied in the 1970's. Seriously, I am not making that up. When I was in school, core curriculum was a hot topic and as it turns out, they have been studying it with great fervor for nearly this entire new millennium.
Committee work is a curious process on a college campus. We are "highly educated" and tend to look at 72 sides of each issue. We make sub-committees of our committees and then spend weeks coming up with convenient times to meet. The sub-committees need to report to the committees and tend to exhaust the angles. Nowhere in the world is form over substance more revered than on a college campus.
So, the next time you want to be on a committee, keep your hand down…even if it is only to order pizza!
Life is good!

the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1
Reading 2: The Ranching Years
The first ranching activity in Las Vegas began in the fall of 1865 when Octavius Gass, a miner, settled on the site of the abandoned Mormon mission and began development of the Las Vegas Ranch. The property was situated in Arizona Territory until 1867 when Congress transferred the area to Lincoln County, Nevada. Gass called his ranch Los Vegas Rancho--deliberately changing the spelling so as not to be confused with Las Vegas, New Mexico, another settlement about 500 miles east. He soon became the principal landowner in the valley. He took an active role in politics and served as head of the Arizona Territorial Senate. His career was cut short because Congress in 1867 carved up all land north of the Colorado River and gave it to the new state of Nevada. Gass, now a resident of Nevada, became Justice of the Peace of Lincoln County.
Gass constructed his ranch house at the southwest corner of the old fort's quadrangle and may have incorporated walls of the old fort. He might even have torn down some of the Mormon buildings to use the adobe and stone. Completed in 1873, the ranch house was a flat-roofed single story building inside the corner of the Las Vegas Mormon Fort's walls. Gass added a fireplace at the southern end of the western wall. There was a large living room. He also expanded the irrigation system. By 1876 he had consolidated many of the small farming plots left by the Mormon missionaries and constructed new buildings. A painting of the Las Vegas Mormon Fort from that year shows a building divided into three portions. The north end was formed by a single story gabled structure; the center consisted of a flat roofed portion, also one story high, while the south end incorporated the surviving southeast blockhouse. At that time the south and west fort walls were still standing along with at least a portion of the northwest block house. Gass lived at the ranch until June 1881. After bad weather and bad business decisions in tin mining investments, Gass obtained a loan from Archibald Stewart. When Gass was unable to repay the loan, Stewart took possession of the Los Vegas Rancho. Gass and his family moved to California where he died in 1924.
Although Archibald Stewart now owned the ranch, he only hoped to use it as a business venture to raise horses, cattle, and crops. He met his wife, Helen Wiser, in California in 1872. According to Stewart family lore, the Wisers hoped to find successful older men for their daughters and Stewart satisfied these requirements. He was 20 years older than the 18-year-old Helen and was operating a successful freighting business near Pioche, Nevada. He later decided to move, and Stewart and his family arrived in Las Vegas in April 1882. His family consisted of his wife Helen, and his children William, Hiram, and Eliza (Tiza) with a fourth child, Evaline, born shortly after the family arrived. Mr. Stewart told his family that they would only live there for two years. Mrs. Stewart moved reluctantly and longed to return to an established community which provided stimulation and schooling for herself and her family.
The Los Vegas Rancho now included the original ranch--640 acres obtained by Gass from the United States under the Desert Land Act of 1877--and the Spring Ranch of some 320 acres, for a total of approximately 960 acres. However, shortly before the two years was up, a neighbor shot and killed Mr. Stewart. Helen Stewart buried her husband on a knoll west of the ranch house in a coffin made from the doors of the house. A few weeks later, she gave birth to Archibald, named after his father.
Helen Stewart continued to operate the ranch with the help of foremen and her father, Hiram Wiser. By 1888 rumors had spread throughout Lincoln County that a railroad would be built through the Las Vegas Valley. This brought a surge of land acquisition. Continuing through the 1890s Helen and her father bought large tracts of land in anticipation of this event. Helen dealt in real estate with her father until she was the largest property owner in Lincoln County.
Although there was talk of a railroad for years, the appearance of surveyors in the area of the Las Vegas Ranch sparked further interest. Senator William Clark (for whom Clark County, Nevada is named) of Montana requested a survey of the Las Vegas Valley for a proposed railroad route. The railroad's principal interest in the ranch lay in its water supply, so necessary to steam-powered locomotives. The ranch could also provide beef for the railroad workers. The railroad picked an area southwest of the ranch as the site for a town that would serve as a division point on the line. Helen, a woman of vision, sold 1,834 acres of the ranch--including the springs and water rights--to the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City Railroad (later Union Pacific) in 1902 for $55,000.00. The bill of sale described the structure as "one adobe dwelling "L" shaped with 5 rooms with frame lean to." Helen kept the Stewart burial plot called Four Acres. Then she bought an additional 280 acres next to the Four Acres and built a second home, remaining in Las Vegas on the outskirts of the booming railroad stop. In 1903, Helen married a ranch hand, Frank Stewart--no relation to her first husband.
With the coming of the railroad, Las Vegas became a town. The railroad officials laid out a grid for the new city and auctioned off building sites south of the old fort and Stewart ranch in 1905. A tent house resort opened at the ranch in 1905, followed soon after by a meat market, supply store hotel, dance floor, and primitive swimming pool near the creek. Also, in 1905 railroad service opened to the East and Las Vegas was a point on the line. By now 1,500 people lived in the tent town and the old ranch was a recreational area. Thus the Las Vegas Mormon Fort gave birth to the new town of Las Vegas, Nevada on May 15, 1905 as lots for the town site were sold off in a public auction. There were 176 lots bought for $79, 566 on the first day. Many of the buyers were wealthy Los Angeles speculators who bought the lots as investments and never returned to the area. By 1909 the ranch was the home of Vegas Park Plunge, featuring a primitive swimming pool created by diverting the creek to a pool behind the fort. As more people came, more farms and ranches were settled.
After retiring from ranching, Helen Stewart continued as an influential member of that new town she helped start. Her nickname became "the first lady of Las Vegas." The new town brought many people to the area including more women, whose company she enjoyed as she became the grand dame of the Las Vegas society. She was considered an authority on the history of the southern part of the state and served as a member of the Nevada Historical Society and Society of Nevada Pioneers. She was active in furthering the education not only of Las Vegas children but the children of the Paiute Indians, who had been her friends, companions, and helpers throughout her adult life. Helen contributed a parcel of her land for a Paiute colony. She had a collection of their baskets and helped establish a school for them. She was also the first woman elected to Clark County School Board, and was the first woman to sit on a jury in Nevada. She also served as the first postmaster of Las Vegas from 1893-1903. She was buried in the Four Acres area when she died in 1926, survived by three of her five children and six grandchildren. Her funeral was attended by many well-known people.
Questions for Reading 2
1. What physical changes were made to the fort after the Mormons left? How did its use change over time?
2. How would you describe Gass's experience at the fort? What problems did he encounter?
3. How would you describe the Stewarts' experience? Would you describe Helen Stewart as a woman of vision? Why or why not? What was her legacy? Do you think she was an important woman in Nevada history?
4. How did the railroad change the character of the Las Vegas Valley?

Techline - February 2014Posted in How To: Tech Qa on December 27, 2013
Struts Her Stuff
I daily drive a '06 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab, 4.7L V-8, with a pro-shop-installed 5.5-inch Fabtech Suspension lift. I've always run 35x12.50 Cooper mud-terrain tires because they are awesome! Since the lift was installed in 2009, I have blown out and replaced the front struts several times. Once again, the struts need replacing. My boyfriend suggested something along the lines of the Bilstein 5160s. The pro shop wants to, yet again, install Fabtech products. I'm over Fabtech and the pro shop. Now, as a "starving student," I don't want to continue this expensive cycle.
Mechanically capable, we plan to tackle the strut install ourselves. I am budget-minded, but I don't want to find myself replacing the struts again in a few months. What options do you recommend? I am not an extreme wheeler, but I like to take my truck out in the backroads to see what I can make it through, or how stuck and unstuck I can get. Additionally, the truck has a wicked high-speed vibration (over 45mph) in the steering wheel that started after the lift was installed. Would a better strut system remedy this? Thanks for being a great magazine. I look forward to your educated input and getting long-term use out of my new struts!
Laura M.
Via email
There can be a number of factors that are causing your struts to fail, but if you are not satisfied with the Fabtech products, I completely understand wanting to try something else. As far as replacement struts or coilovers, you have a few options. If you two are leaning towards the Bilstein product line, that is perfectly fine—they make great stuff. I suggest contacting Bilstein (www.bilsteinus.com) directly, as there may be a few valving options for your application. King Shocks (www.kingshocks.com) and Fox Racing Shocks (www.ridefox.com) are also two reputable shock manufacturers that specialize in performance and factory-replacement shocks.
As for your wobble, if it began immediately after the lift install, I would have taken the truck back to the pro shop. A loose bolt, worn factory steering or suspension components, poor alignment, a bad bearing, or even unbalanced wheels can all contribute to your steering wobble. Since you will be replacing your struts, this would be a great time for a detailed suspension inspection and re-torque. Put a wrench on every nut and bolt that holds your suspension and steering components in place. Look closely for any worn rod ends or play in the wheel bearings. After you get finished torquing each bolt, use a paint marker to draw a line across the hardware. This will help make sure you hit every nut and bolt, and if something does come loose, it will be easy to spot.
Once you have installed the new struts, I would take the truck in for a fresh alignment, preferably at a shop that is familiar with lifted trucks. It wouldn't hurt to have the wheels balanced and rotated at the same time.
Solid Sonoma
Do you know if anyone makes a solid axle conversion for an '03 GMC Sonoma?
Austin Jorgensen
Via Facebook
There are a few companies that offer S-10 solid axle conversions that should work fine for your Sonoma. Diversified Creations (www.diversifiedcreations.com) offers a kit that requires the use of a Jeep TJ, XJ, or ZJ front axle (the company suggests the Dana 44 front from a '03-'06 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon TJ). The Diversified Creations kit is a multilink system that uses coils and shocks up front. Another option would be Off-Road Direct (www.offroaddirect.com). The Off-Road Direct kit is a leaf-spring conversion and will require sourcing additional components (springs, shock mounts, and so on) elsewhere. Another good avenue, if only for reviews and inspiration, would be to check out the enthusiasts' forum S-10 Extremist (www.s10extremist.org).
Rubi Thoughts
I would like your thoughts on my '10 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. It's a two-door model with a hardtop, automatic transmission, and a mostly stock powertrain with the exception of a K&N air filter and cat-back exhaust. The Jeep currently has a two-inch lift, stock tires and wheels, and 31,500 miles on the odometer. Most of the miles are on-road, but some are from hard off-roading trails. I am thinking about a supercharger, more specifically, the one offered from Magnuson. What do you think of this? Also, I am thinking of changing tires to a Toyo, but I can't decide between an all-terrain or mud-terrain? I'm looking at either a 285/70R17 or 295/70R17. I am still unsure if I will leave the stock wheels on or swap them out for something else.

(Editor Cappa replies)
A supercharger is a great option if you need more power, but don't want the expense of swapping in a V-8. We recently installed a Magnuson supercharger (www.magnacharger.com) on our four-door '07 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon project vehicle. We're collecting some long-term data and have found that fuel economy suffers greatly, plus it requires 91 octane. We're getting 9-12 mpg most of the time, but the power output has been fantastic. See our January 2014 issue for more detailed information.
As for choosing between an all-terrain or mud-terrain tire, it all depends on the kind of terrain you frequent. Mud-terrain tires tend to have more rolling resistance over an all-terrain tire and can create a bit more road noise. If you wheel in mud and loose dirt, then the mud-terrain is most definitely the way to go. If you prefer dry and rocky trails and spend most of your time on-road, then an all-terrain tire should fit your needs well. As far as size is concerned, your stock tires are around 32.1 inches.
The sizes you have listed are not much larger than stock or much different than each other even. The 285/70R17 is 32.8 inches tall and the 295/70R17 is 33.54 inches tall. Either will fit fine on the stock wheels. As far as swapping out wheels, that is totally up to you. At a certain point, you'll need less backspacing if you go with a substantially wider tire than stock. This is mostly due to the fact that the tires will come into contact with the suspension control arms (this is especially an issue with the rear upper arms).

In an afternoon filled with political moves and tit-for-tat over "stunts", perhaps the most unusual part of the Senate Budget Committee on Monday was what happened after its more than four-hour meeting was over.
During much of the meeting, hundreds of immigrants and their children -- largely from Central Florida -- lined the walls of corridor after corridor outside of the budget chambers.
After the meeting was over, Sen. J.D. Alexander, a Lake Wales Republican and the budget chairman, invited the people in. And he and Sen. Thad Altman, R-Melbourne, stayed for more than half an hour listening to and speaking to the visitors.
The gathering was almost hushed, compared to past, rowdy committee meetings on immigration during this legislative session. More than 200 people packed the committee room. A handful of them spoke, and asked Alexander questions. He responded. The impromptu meeting ended with prayer and Alexander shaking hands and getting a round of applause.
The immigrants pleaded for compassion and asked the lawmakers not to pass bills that could separate their families -- or turn away tourism or business. "It's going to hurt the economy," Hilario Barajas said. "It is hurting the economy already."
Alexander, who earlier told reporters SB 2040 could be heard in his committee on Thursday, told the advocates that he couldn't promise them to stall or kill the bill. "We're looking at it very diligently," he said. "I can't give you that commitment today."
"These are very challenging issues," Alexander added. "If I grew up in a land ruled by great danger and gangs and drugs, I would have done everything in my power, as you have done, to improve the lives of our children...A country can't have laws that aren't enforced...I don't know why reasonable people can't find some sort of middle ground."

Zaccheroni demands improvement from Japan
Zaccheroni's men were able to record a fifth victory in succession when they faced Zambia on Friday in their final warm-up friendly.
However, Japan had to come from two goals down before eventually running out 4-3 winners courtesy of an injury-time winner from Yoshito Okubo.
"Obviously we can't carry on like this," said Zaccheroni, whose side also gave up the first goal in a 3-1 triumph over Costa Rica earlier in the week.
"I'm thinking about the things we need to put right. The result wasn't important but the performance was.
"I told the players before the game that we have to sort out these problems in the next week. This team has its own logic. The players have followed that logic and played so well in the past but tonight we didn't have it.
"If the team knows what it should be doing then the chances of us winning are high, but if they veer away from that there is a bigger possibility of us losing. In today's game it was the latter."
"We didn't have that team logic but still won, so in that sense I am not satisfied."
Japan face the Ivory Coast on June 14 in Recife, before facing Greece and Colombia in their other Group C fixtures.

Music Criticism: How To Handle a Critical Audience
Years ago, I heard my first band would be featured in the local paper and I was so excited to read the article. I hurried home to read it and found that the short blurb was far from complimentary. A public critique like that can make you want to give up. I certainly wanted to hide under my bed for a week! However, I have learned how to handle criticism and continued to make music that makes me happy. In the time since then, I have been lucky enough to receive both criticism and positive revie … Read More


text: Thanks for the info, it is very helpful. Since I'm new to this forum, I'll write a little info about myself and CS. Currently I'm referring to a Linux text that was used in a community college course I finished; however, it's sometimes more trouble than I think it should be and have bought some new books but haven't had time to open any. The command line instructions I've learned never seem to work well on the system I try to use (Fedora 3 and 4, and live CDs like Kill Bill, Slax, and others ). Trying to sort through modern texts has been overwhelming, so many languages and then so many books on each one. While my hobbies and CS studies are generally neglected to make time for my college work (I'm studying for a BS in Biology), when school is over I have in mind to finish a few incomplete projects: i) learn basic electronics with a Radio Shack solderless bread board (basic circuits, IC chips, etc.), ii) move from installing Fedora to Slackware, iii) continue reading about the Art of Assembly and some new CS languages, and iv) maybe try to fiddle with writing a language and/or drivers. My experience with computers is somewhat limited. As a child I taught myself how to use the Atari and Apple IIe with BASIC, adv BASIC, and I became interested in peek/poke instructions before abandoning computers for music. The format I followed was to allocate memory for variables, block the algorithms, and build data columns. Are pointers in C similar to peek/poke instructions? I sorted through many books on BASIC before settling on a text to use for self instruction. Thirteen years ago I finished a community college course on C, wrote a short program that bounced back four variables related to the requested element (periodic table), and then the guitar, again, took over... I use BLAST for my class work in microbiology and genetics. Post graduation, my aim is to mix my biology degree with CS and then learn how to write code with a good design building on the Linux model. Art students take design courses, a developed language/system to encompass the elements of the set that includes all art mediums (painting, ceramics, sculpture, etc.). There must be texts that also discuss good design for CS, and I would take into consideration any suggested titles. I am very interested in Beowulf, and feel drawn towards the numerous problems to be solved by hooking together "toy things". Maybe Beowulf is better suited for other endeavors, but if it helps with using multiple platforms to efficiently accomplish work then I'm in the right place. I like to recycle and hope to empower the poor or those with limited resources. Out of curiosity, does the set of "toy things" include the X Box by Microsoft, because I've found some info that suggests Linux can be installed on these machines? Concerning the generation of a RND, is it within reason (or practical) that a system could be built that could pass a current through the random movements of vapor atoms to produce a random number? Vermont has some nice microbreweries, and I'm currently fond of the beer Brown Dog. From a keg it is the most interesting flavour I have yet to find, but what one drink's depends on personal preference... seemingly like programming in some cases.

I really like this phone. Very impressed
I bought this phone in June this year and it has been working great since day one. I love the capacitive touch screen, three customizable home screens, and the widgets, which makes using the phone a lot easier. The audio quality is pretty good for making and receiving calls. Text messaging with this phone is a little annoying since the phone lags sometimes. Because of this, you have to type slower when composing a text message. The display is crisp and bright and I love the calendar feature, something I use a lot. I like how the screen vibrates when you touch it. The battery life on this phone is great. I can have a several hour-long conversation and the battery only goes down one bar out of a total of five. The camera is ok, as is the video recorder. The phone is light weight and compact, making it easier to carry in your pocket or purse. The vibration mechanism is strong and the ringing volume is loud and consistant, better than some other phones I have used in the past. One thing that it lacks, which I really wish it had, is wi-fi capabilities. Other than that, this phone is great. I give it five out of five stars, even though it has some things that could be changed, because of how happy I am with this product and because of the audio quality. I highly recommend this phone to others.
Pros and cons
Fun Touch screen phone, intuitive, good picture quality, has 3 customizable screens that you can swipe to navigate and you can add icons/ features of your choice.
Love the text conversation storage! It provides your text and the replies in a color coordinated fashion making it easy to revisit a conversation.
compact, comfortable size, is attractive.
I love the phone except for the fact that I had difficulty with 2 phones freezing during texting, going to white screen and rebooting randomly. Provider ATT

My first touchscreen
I have only had this phone for 2 days now, but I love it. It is the easyist phone to set up.You get all pros from me on this phone. This is my first touchscreen phone ever, and I don't want to go back to a flip or a bar phone. Ever.I don't have to press a bunch of buttons to get to a menu.I am 75 years old and hard to teach new tricks, but like they say, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. lol No Cons for this phone for me. I love it!!!!!!!1
Love this phone!
I bought this phone in December last year and I really like it. It has a lot of features that I like. The touch-sensitive screen is great, as is the battery life. I'm not a heavy talker or texter, so this phone's battery meter almost never goes down past all five bars. I also like the audio quality on the ear piece and speakerphone, though the settings for the ear piece and speakerphone could be separate settings, like on newer BlackBerry devices. The ringtone selection is okay. I found a few of the default ones that I like. The keyboard on the phone is not as quick to respond as a full physical QWERTY keyboard. The camera quality is good if you have good lighting. Otherwise, it's average and the pictures turn out a little grainy. The vibrating alert is a little weak. If the phone is in my pocket, I can't really feel it or hear it vibrating. The compact design of the phone is nice, too. I like how it's not all big and bulky like the BlackBerry I had. Lastly, there is only one way to lock this device, which is kind of a pain. There are two ways to unlock the device. Why is there only one way to lock it?
All in all, this phone is great. I love having it and it's easy to use. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a feature phone that has bells and whistles on it, but not so many that they would never use them.
I purchased this phone today and I absolutely love it. I was looking for a phone that suited my needs: making and receiving calls and texting. This phone is great. For not being a smart phone, it has great features and I love everything about it. I know I have only had it for a day, but here are the pros and cons that I have found on this phone.
- capacitive touch screen
- clear audio quality (both the ear speaker and the speaker phone)
- physical buttons for sending and ending a call
- world phone
- has a full QWERTY keyboard
- has three home screens
- can put the widgets anywhere on the three home screens, making it easier to access the features I use the most
- ringtones are good (way better than the Pantech Impact)
- bright display
- has a digital camera
- can record audio and video
- came with a USB cable
I could go on and on forever about the positive qualities that this device has.
ok phone
pros love the touch screen. Easy to use.
cons. screen freezes when texting. reboots by itself, drop calls, been through 3 phones
Think Twice, Read all consumer reviews!!
My ATT contract was up for renewal. Was enticed with the Samsung Solstice II primarily due to touch screen technology and no data plan requirement.
Hugh mistake. Calls were repeatedly dropped, extremely poor reception and unusual screen sensitivity. Finally reached the point where I had to replace with a go phone (Pantech 7040P) and swap the sim card to keep existing phone number.
ATT corporate and local reps have concurred with my assesment. Don't buy!!
Appearances are deceiving
Appealing appearance and size but had very poor reception in my area. Calls were not received consistantly and it would drop calls before completely connected. Speaker phone kept being turned on by touching the side of my face while on a call. I love Samung phones and have good luck in the past but this one went back.

Tony Adamo Miles Of Blu CD Four StarsPosted
Tony Adamo Miles Of Blu CD Four Stars by @CriticalJazz As the business and cultural landscape of improvisational music has evolved over the last year or two I am starting to notice a slight trend toward the inclusion of poetry and spoken word passages on some recordings and with incredibly mixed results. Tony Adamo is releasing a spoken word recording or "beatnik jazz" that is way outside my personal wheelhouse but when you toss in drummer Mike Clark, pianist Michael Wolf and horn ace Stephen "Doc" Kupka you end up with the next generation of hip. Sort of a deconstructed Miles Davis Birth Of The Cool amped up to the new millennium. Adamo is much in the same way as Miles, a visionary. Tony's unique vision has opened up yet another sub genre on the jazz family tree being commonly referred to as "HipSpokenWord." Personally I like "Beatnik Jazz" better but to each his own. Jazz / funk drummer Mike Clark is the producer and lends his prolific talents to help elevate Adamo's game to the next level. When you have the former musical director for Arsenio Hall in Michael Wolf and Tower of Power veteran "Doc" Kupka then you know people are indeed buying what you are selling. Adamo's words are powerful, topical and guaranteed to make you think while expanding your musical horizons into a well defined poetry for the culture today. "JB" kicks off and pays tribute to the hardest working man in show business while "America R We Free?" is a more personal statement involving the p.o.v of America being built on the blood sweat and tears of the middle class. While not necessarily agreeing with Adamo's politics, I would be the first to applaud his fearlessness in putting himself "out there." A former editor would often caution me on gratuitous self references but whether you are a writer or a vocal artist, a shared perspective is just that and what the audience chooses to do or make of it is strictly up to them. "Sun-Ra Rockets To Mars" has a more ambient vibe and spatial integrity reinforced by the relentless groove of producer Clark. With the exception of only a handful of traditional rap artists, most creative vocalists are lacking the substance and stamina to put an entire recording on their backs in an effort to either spread their message, music or both. Tony Adamo makes it look effortless and with a virtual all star line up he gains the freedom to let his imagination soar. Sometimes stepping outside your musical comfort zone is a good thing and Tony Adamo makes it an enlightening experience! 4 Stars for creativity and ingenuity alone! Tracks: JB; Miles Of Blu; Funkin' At The Chickn Shack; America R We Free?; BBQ; The Power Of Funky Madness; Soul Vacation; Don't Change Horses; Ain't That A Groove?"; Jack Kerouac, Jack!; Sun-Ra Rockets To Mars; What Is Hip?" The Other Side Of Time; Ticking Clock. Personnel: Tony Adamo: vocals, hipspokenword; Mike Clark: drums; Tim Ouimette: trumpet / trombone; Bill Harris: bari / alto / tenor sax; Richie Goods: bass; Delbert Bump: organ; Steve Homan: guitar; Gary Mielke: bass / keyboards; Rob Dixon: tenor / alto sax; Derrick Gardner: trumpet; Stephen "Doc" Kupka: bari sax; Brett Palm: bass; Bill Summers: percussion; Kati Mac: background vocals; Tom Guarna: guitar; Michael Wolf: piano.

A rustic re-creation of an old-fashioned Buenos Aires general store, favorite Pan-Latino dishes are the flavorful entraña, or skirt steak ($18), short- rib tacos drizzled with chimichurri ($9), lightly breaded calamari in a lulo-citrus vinaigrette ($9), and the textural miracle that is avocado fries, wedges of the buttery fruit coated in panko crumbs and deep-fried ($5). Yum!
2. The Brooklyn Star
At the Brooklyn Star, Joaquin Baca's first solo effort, Baca ventures deep into regional-American cuisine with a concise menu of small and large plates, all exactly what you'd be amazed to find at the end of a dirt road in Mississippi or an off-the-beaten-path stretch of Williamsburg. Warm flaky biscuits, collard greens, ham hocks, and skillet baked cornbread round out the faire. Liquor license—and PBR on tap—pending.
3. Hunan House
Perched across Northern Boulevard from the historic Flushing Town Hall, this often spicy, sometimes sour style shows a predilection for pickled peppers, chopped and strewn liberally, and a deliciously heavy hand with the cumin. Favorites are the pork crusted with crunchy rice powder, meticulously wrapped up tamale-like in lotus leaves, and steamed until tender ($14.95), and smoky niblets of duck hacked on the bone and intermingled with chewy dried turnips and small, shrunken white peppers that looked like semi-dried grapes ($17.95).
4. Stand
Trendsetting restaurateur Jonathan Morr has recreated the burger joint into a hip new NY place to be seen. The signature burger here is seasoned with tasty herbs and served with sweet fried pickles. Considered the best in town.
5. Tabla's 10
At the original Tabla, the six-course tasting costs $89, but at Tabla's 10, every dish on this small-plate menu, available Wednesday nights in an upstairs alcove, costs less than $10. By "dish," the kitchen sometimes means "tasting," as in the $4 chickpea-battered and chipotle-spiked squash blossom. However, there is no stinting on flavor, especially in the "beef rolad," a braciole-like cylinder of tender meat stuffed with bacon and braised in a subtly spiced curry ($9).
How to Find Your Own Cheap Eats in New York City!
Step 1
Purchase a budget NY City guidebook or two in advance of your trip or surf the web before you arrive; many guides include restaurant listings in a variety of price ranges.
Step 2
Find out about the best places to try out local specialties. The manager or concierge at your hotel should be able to provide you with a list of suggestions.
Step 3
Try some New York-style pizza for a quick, cheap and tasty meal. You will find many street vendors selling some of NY's finest!
Step 4
Buy a local newspaper or magazine as soon as you arrive, check out "New York Restaurants," or other local publications for restaurant listings and reviews.

John (Mark Wahlberg) is like any guy caught between his girlfriend and his best friend.
Only John"s love is the far-too-good-for-him Lori (Mila Kunis, delightful as usual), and his buddy is Ted (Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane), a magical bear John wished into being when he was a kid, who now has a penchant for hookers and pot.
The bear is profane and hilarious, getting John to blow off work to smoke doobies and watch Flash Gordon many more times than can possibly be healthy. But the movie misses with a kidnapping plot that first-time film director MacFarlane clumsily telegraphs far too early.
Also, If MacFarlane wants to prove he can do more than dominate Fox"s Sunday-night animation lineup he needs to stop relying on his Family Guy shtick of taking nasty potshots at fading celebs.
After all, Superman Returns may not have been worth its weight in Underoos, but Brandon Routh does not deserve the shellacking Ted hands him. There are occasions when it"s okay to keep it classy.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.25GB Graphics Card Review
Another GF110 Part
For the latter half of 2009, the review schedule at PC Perspective was dominated by graphics cards from AMD as we saw the entire HD 5000 series come to fruition. Since then, NVIDIA has slowly but surely caught up with numerous releases like the GTX 480, 470, 460 and so on, and more recently, the GeForce GTX 580 based on the newer GF110 GPU.
Today we are looking at another new card from NVIDIA in the GTX 500-series, the GeForce GTX 570. As you might expect from the name, the GTX 570 is a slight step below the GTX 580 in terms of performance but turns out to be a noticeable step lower in price: $349 versus $529.
The GeForce GTX 570 is based on the same GF110 GPU that the GTX 580 is, a slightly revised version of the original Fermi-architecture.
contrary) and has not dropped features like ECC to reach these
performance levels. The secret to NVIDIA's improved performance and
yield comes from a monitoring and rearranging of the transistor paths
that caused the most leakage on GF100 in real-world environments.
NVIDIA's engineers then rearranged many segments of the die to better
improve efficiency and power consumption finally allowing them to enable
the full power of the architecture as GF110.
There have been some other architectural enhancements made on
the GF110 GPU as well including a full speed FP16 texture filtering
addition and improved Z-cull efficiency. These clock-for-clock
improvements in the GPU design offer performance improvements of
anywhere from 5% in Metro 2033 to 13% in Dirt 2 based on NVIDIA's own testing.
Remember this diagram that we have shown you so many times before?
The ROP count on the GTX 570 is 40 resulting in a 320-bit memory bus and slightly lower total memory throughput than the GTX 580.
It might be just as interesting to compare the new GTX 570 to the original GeForce GTX 480 card that shares similar specs.
- GeForce GTX 570 versus GTX 480
- 480 vs 480 CUDA cores
- 60 vs 60 texture units
- 40 vs 48 ROPs
- 732 MHz vs 700 MHz core frequency
- 1.25GB vs 1.5GB memory size
- 950 MHz vs 924 MHz memory frequency
So while the shader performance should be higher on the GTX 570 the memory performance and AA performance might be slightly faster on the original GTX 480. I should note though that the GTX 480 will be selling out very soon, what is in the market is all that will be released, so the GTX 570 is effectively replacing it with a lower price.

I'm surprised by the heat consumption. I wonder how that would be effected through virtualization. You can run it through this Power Consumption Calculator

Fast track driving courses for everyone
Some of our pupils are recent university graduates who need a driving licence on their CV fast.
Others have been learning to drive for a while but need an intensive driving course to pass before going away to university.
One lady wanted to learn to drive so that she could take the kids on day trips to the seaside.
We have even raced a few babies - helping mums and dads through the test before the baby arrived!
Whatever your reasons for learning to drive you don't need to be a 'good driver' to benefit from an intensive driving course. A one to one intensive course with one of our based fully qualified independent local driving instructors will set you on the path to becoming a 'really great driver'
One to one intensive driving tuition
Nervous or confident a one to one intensive driving course is the way to go in .
Our intensive driving courses are strictly one to one.
You will not be asked to share the driving with other pupils.
Your driving instructor will exactly match your course to your ability and progress.
With a one to one intensive driving course from a quality driving instructor you will pass your driving test in no time
Fast track driving courses in Manual or Automatic cars
Intensive Driving Courses in are available in automatic or manual cars.
Unless you find driving a manual car physically difficult we recommend that you learn to drive in a manual car in . When you pass your test in a manual car you are licensed to drive either manual or automatic. But if you pass the test in an automatic you will need to take the test again to drive a manual car unsupervised. For this reason many more driving instructors teach in manual cars than automatic.
Automatic driving lessons cost more and automatic driving instructors are harder to find
Many people think that learning to drive an automatic must be easier (fewer pedals) and therefore quicker. Not true!
The reasons people fail driving tests are much the same whether they drive an automatic or manual car, and have little to do with choosing gears
Top 10 reasons for failing the driving test 2015/2016*
- Junctions (observation)
- Mirrors (change direction)
- Control(steering)
- Junctions (turning right)
- Positioning(normal driving)
- Move off (safely)
- Move off(control)
- Response to signals (traffic lights)
- Reverse park (control)
- Response to signals (road markings)
* From DVSA official statistics
Your Driving Test
It is not possible to book a practical driving test for you until you have passed your driving theory test.
Ideally you will have passed your Driving Theory Test before booking your course. We will then be able to book a Practical Driving Test for you at a local test centre. We aim to book your test for the end of your course but we are dependent on availability at driving test centres near .
Time for your driving test is included as part of your intensive driving course time

Linux Top 3: Linux 3.4 Goes Stable, Fedora Delayed and LinuxCon Opens the Cloud
It has been another busy week on the LinuxPlanet, with big kernel news last week as the momentum and excitement now builds in the lead up to this week's big LinuxCon event.
1) Linux Stable Kernel release
The stable Linux kernel is a precious thing. The rapid rate of Linux kernel development means that we all see new bleeding edge kernels every few months, which is great for innovation. The practical reality is that not everyone or every system can or needs to stay on the kernel release treadmill – that's where the stable kernel comes into play.
The stable kernel has a longer maintenance cycle that can be two years in length (or in some cases, even longer). This past week, Linux Foundation Fellow, Greg Kroah-Hartman clarified which kernels will now be considered for long term support.
"As I'm getting a few questions about this, and I realized that I never sent out an email about this, yes, the 3.4 kernel tree will be the next -longterm kernel that I will be maintaining for at least 2 years," Kroah-Hartman wrote in a mailing list posting.
The 3.4 kernel was first released in May of this year. Among the noteworthy improvements that debuted in 3.4 are improvements to Btrfs as well as increased scalability for the number of virtual CPUs that KVM can support.
The 3.4 kernel is not the only long term kernel that Kroah-Hartman is currently committed to maintaining. He currently also has pledged to keep the 3.0 kernel tree maintained for another year. Linux 3.0 was released in July of 2011, including Xen Hypervisor integration.
While Kroah-Hartman is still maintaining the 3.0 and 3.4 kernels, the Linux 3.5 kernel is not as fortunate. He noted that the 3.5 will only be maintained until the 3.6.1 kernel is released. Linux 3.5was only released at the end of July. Linux 3.6 is still at the release candidate stage and isn't expected to be generally available until early September.
2)Fedora 18 Delayed
In the Fedora Linux community, small delays in a release cycle are not all that uncommon. In an effort to ensure quality, the release date can slip by a week or more. That's the case with the upcoming Fedora 18 release which is now one week off its initial schedule.
"Today at Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip Fedora 18 Alpha release by one week due to numerous unresolved bugs and incomplete test matrices for Alpha," Fedora developer Jaroslav Reznik wrote in a mailing list posting last week.
Fedora 18 was originally set for release on November 11th and is now expected to be generally available a week later, on November 13th.
3) LinuxCon USA 2012
The annual Linux love-fest known as LinuxCon kicks off this week in sunny San Diego. As was the case with the 2011, the key headliner is none other than Linux creator Linus Torvalds himself.
Never a man too shy to state his honest opinion, Torvalds will be joined onstage by fellow kernel developers Greg Kroah-Hartman, Ted Ts'o, Sarah Sharp and James Bottomley.
In addition to the kernel panel, this years' event is also co-located with an event called CloudOpen, which is all about Linux and the open cloud. Among the CloudOpen speakers are OpenStack leader Jonathan Bryce as well as Eucalyptus CEO Marten Mickos.

(CNN) -- Colombia, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland became the latest teams to book their passage to the World Cup finals next year while England looks set to join them.
The Colombians confirmed their place in Brazil in thrilling fashion, rallying from a three-goal deficit to draw Chile 3-3 at home.
Colombia trailed 3-0 at the interval before Teofilo Gutierrez began the comeback in the 69th minute.
Radamel Falcao then netted two late penalties to give Colombia a spot at the World Cup for the first time since 1998.
"At halftime we told each other that we could come back," Falcao told reporters.
Colombia manager Jose Pekerman never lost faith, either.
"We knew beforehand this would be one of the best games of the qualifying round because of the two teams and how they've been playing," Pekerman told reporters. "We had two halves -- one was absolutely Chile's and the other was undoubtedly Colombia's."
Colombia became the second South American nation to progress through qualifying, following Argentina.
Federer's delight
Germany have long since been in command of Group C and a 3-0 scoreline against the Republic of Ireland on Friday made it a mathematical certainty, while Belgium downed Croatia 2-1 in Zagreb to head Group A.
The Swiss clinched Group E after a 2-1 away victory over Albania with Bayern Munich's Zherdan Shaqiri and Michael Lang scoring in either half before a late home consolation for Hamdi Salihi from the penalty spot.
Read: Belgium: Football's coming force?
Football fan Roger Federer tweeted "Switzerland made it to the World Cup, how happy am I on a scale 1-10? About a 25. Great effort and congratulations."
England likely must still win its final home match against Poland to win Group H but the three points against Montenegro following a 4-1 victory was vital after Andriy Yarmolenko had given Ukraine a 1-0 home win over the Poles to briefly top the section.
With Ukraine playing San Marino in the last match it meant three points were vital for England and debutant Andros Townsend proved the key, setting up Wayne Rooney's strike and effectively settling proceedings with a run and resounding shot that made it 3-1 in the second half.
Read: Balotelli secures Italy's passage
"Perhaps the most important goal was Andros's goal, because that restored our two-goal margin," England manager Roy Hodgson told ITV Sport.
The Germans will be among the favorites to lift their fourth World Cup crown next year and Real Madrid's Sami Khedira gave them an early lead against the Irish.
Chelsea's Andre Schuerrle and Arsenal's new signing Mesut Ozil grabbed further goals in the second half for a comfortable victory in Cologne.
Belgium have established a reputation as one of the leading sides in Europe and the Red Devils showed their quality again in Zagreb.
Read: Rio property owners already renting for 2014 finals
Striker Romelu Lukaku, on loan at Everton from Chelsea, scored two first half goals in the 16th and 38th minutes to put the Belgians in control.
Russia, the 2018 host, only needs a draw against Azerbaijan in Baku next Tuesday to clinch Group F.
A 4-0 victory in Luxembourg kept Fabio Capello's team ahead of nearest rival Portugal, which was held to a disappointing 1-1 home draw by Israel.
Dutch crush Hungary
The Netherlands had already qualified but showed no signs of easing off in Group D with an 8-1 rout of Hungary, which is bidding for a place in the European playoffs. Manchester United's Robin van Persie registered a hat-trick to become his country's all-time leading scorer.
The rout cost Hungary boss Sandor Egervari his job -- he resigned after the game.
Another coach, Holger Osieck, was fired after Australia lost 6-0 in a friendly against France. Australia already qualified for the World Cup but it was a second consecutive 6-0 drubbing after a defeat to Brazil in September.
Group G will be decided in the final round of matches as leaders Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Liechtenstein 4-1 and Greece stayed level on points with a 1-0 win over Slovakia.
Greece hosts Liechtenstein, while Bosnia faces a trickier test in Lithuania but has a vastly superior goal difference.
World and European champion Spain is also on the brink of qualification after a 2-1 win over Belarus in a Group I match that was under threat after a generator blew up in the car park of the stadium in Mallorca Thursday.
Barcelona's Xavi and Alvaro Negredo of Manchester City put Spain ahead with second half goals before Sergei Kornilenko's late strike for the visitor.
The nine group winners all qualify for the 2014 finals while the eight best runners-up enter the playoffs for the remaining four spots.
Meanwhile, world governing body FIFA has said over six million applications have been made for next year's finals in Brazil.
The requests came from 203 countries and FIFA will allocate the tickets from a random draw. Over 70% of the applications came from Brazil, with over 700,000 bids for tickets for its opening match.

What happens when capybaras stop being polite and start getting real? Adorable dozing. (Although I do like imagining that these capybaras are the Real World of capybaras, and we all know that all kinds of hijinks are gonna go on as soon as these little guys are out of the hot tub. Like maybe one of them is like "YOU HOOKED UP WITH SNOWFLAKE?!" and the other one is like "OMG, I SOOO didn't know you liked him," and then they throw their drinks at each other.)
But in the meantime, more dozing.

Press Release
Communiqué de Presse
Dirk Reinartz
New York 1974
The latest installment in the exhibition series In Honor of Dirk Reinartz opens on 15 September, which would have been the photographer's 60th birthday, and presents for the first time his photo series New York 1974. Coinciding with the exhibition, Steidl Verlag will publish the book Reinartz began of his New York pictures, which was completed after his death by Karin Reinartz. Ulf Erdmann Ziegler from Frankfurt has been invited to speak at the opening, which will run from 5 to 7 o'clock in the evening.
The vintage prints shown in the exhibition halls at Galerie m, made from photographs the artist took on two private trips to New York in 1974, can now be enjoyed as a full series. Back then, the 27-year-old was the youngest photo reporter working for Stern magazine. Dirk Reinartz' keen feel for the rhythm and architecture of Manhattan, his humorous and yet incisive focus on the people of the city, his understanding for both the comic and tragic aspects of city life, create a multifaceted, fascinating view of New York in the early 1970s.
Reinartz had the ability both to capture the city's overwhelming architecture with its skyscrapers rising up to create deep canyons and its many construction sights as well as to focus in on small details in the streets and neighborhoods and the people inhabiting them – placing him squarely in the best tradition of "street photography." In this series, Reinartz succeeds at capturing the mood of the American populace in the 1970s, an era shaped by the oil crisis, the Vietnam War and resulting recession, rising unemployment and political scandals.
Characteristic of his work are the numerous figures peopling these images. On his first trip to New York, Reinartz seems to be fascinated on the one hand by the anonymous masses of people thronging the city streets and on the other by the paradox of what was for a young German a high degree of individualism.
The photographer himself once put it this way: "The individual was my theme."
