Do you have those days when you could just use a cookie and a glass of milk? When being six sounds just about as good as winning the lottery? Nothing has to be terribly wrong or terribly right. No. Just good enough to feel like having a cookie.
A warm embrace. A love note. A familiar face. A couple of cookies and a glass of milk. Same difference.
With work and life moving at a million happy miles an hour, all I wanted to do the other day was just to put my pen down and make cookies. And I did just that. The simple act of taking a tray out of the even and getting that first whiff of freshly baked cookies was just the ticket.
I think I got a bit carried away though because I ended up making 3 dozens! I have a difficult time with happy mediums apparently. I am all or nothing. Even while baking. I was on a baking high and well, procrastinating on everything else for an hour made me feel like a kid skipping homework. Everything would be ok, there were cookies.
I grabbed a few and a glass of milk and I started going through all your comments about your food styling struggles or photography in general. You'll be happy to know that your questions on camera modes, settings, lighting, composition are covered in depth. As far as styling goes, I was thrilled to see that so many of your issues were topics I had chosen to use as examples. But I did see a couple of interesting ones which I must keep under wrap until the whole project is complete.
There has been a lot brown foods made and eaten here the last few days, as well as soups, steaks, pasta, purees, pizza, etc... Lots more than we can eat in one day just the two of us! So with a box of cookies in one hand and a container of chili in the other, I knocked on the neighbors' doors ever so gently and left them at the door. They just had a baby you see. I bet everyone was happily getting some shut eye for a while.
It won't make everything get better but I figured that if a couple of cookies and a glass of milk made me alright with the world well, maybe the same could happen for them. On a side note, I still have to make the old pup stop howling everytime he hears the baby cries. It's not helping, ehehe!
One more thing before I end this post. Like everyone else, we are glued to the news regarding the events in Egypt and as someone with friends deeply tied in with the country, I just want to tell all you who are affected by these events that we are keeping you close to our hearts.
Chocolate Chip Cookies, adapted from David Leite of Leite Culinaria.
Notes: I used half coconut oil and half butter for the fat in these cookies. If you do the same, make sure the coconut oil is soft still but not liquid. Coconut butter would work too. You can of course use the same amount in butter which would bring the butter amount to a total of 10 tablespoons.
I used ground flax seeds soaked in a little water to act as a binding agent to mimic the gluten or xanthan gum (I was out of it).
B. finds that flaxseed has a taste so I add just a pinch of cocoa powder to the batter to tone down the flax seed taste.
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1/2 cup corn starch (you can sub tapioca starch)
1/2 cup potato starch
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 tablespoons coconut oil (centrifuged, extra virgin)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground flaxseed soaked in 1/2 tablespoon water for 10 minutes
a pinch cocoa powder
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cups chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
In a large bowl, whisk together each of the flours and "starches" along with the baking soda and baking powder.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and the sugars on medium speed for a couple of minutes, then mix for 1 minute more. Reduce the speed to slow and ddd the flaxseed and cocoa powder, the egg, beating well and scraping the sides of your mixer bowl if necessary. Add the vanilla extract and beat 30 seconds longer.
Add the flour mixture into the batter, mixing just until the dry ingredients are coming together. Add the chocolate chips and mix briefly to incorporate.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1-2.
Bake the cookies about 12-15 minutes, depending on the size or until golden brown. Let them cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to cooling racks.

I was totally craving chocolate chip cookies and this post just brought the craving back. Beautiful photos, as always.
Few things beat out milk and cookies!
Chocolate chip cookies and milk reminds me of winter weekends in front of the fire with my mom! She would bake all the time and she always did it so well.
Wow your photos are drop dead gorgeous. Oh how I'd love to be 6 years old again. Those cookies look amazing.
Thats so funny as i had some friends over today so i cooked for the young ones some choc chip cookies! (not gluten free though). These look great.
Sometimes I have to share my 'samplers';) mostly 'douceurs' :)
I love this milk bottle on first picture!
Et j'attends le livre toujours aussi impatiemment ;)
Me encanta tu blog y las fotos. Estas galletas deben estar deliciosas. Un vaso de leche con galletas siempre apetece, no? y más recien horneadas.
Un abrazo!
Beautiful pictures, as always. If I want to use wheat flour and oats, I would add the same amount of flours combined (means 2 cups?). You just add 1 egg,or more as written in the recipe!! Thank you.
Wow, nice mix of flavours. Love it that coconut oil is used. One question. Soaking flaxseed in water is an eggwhite replacement. However the recipe uses an egg as well. What is the purpose of flaxseed?
Helene, lovely pics as always!. I love the cookies recipe. And you just told a truth!... cookies can heal everyone soul. kisses from argentina
These cookies look delicious and I love your creative use of flaxseeds!
If I used Xanthan gum instead of flax, how much would I use? Thanks, these look fabulous.
Deedub: 1/2 tablespoon
Three-Cookies: see the notes before the recipe. There are indeed many usages to flax seeds in baked goods, from thickener, egg replacer and gluten replacer.
Fragolina: you can refer to the original recipe and see what substitution you would do for certain but you can try 1 part wheat to 1 part oat or 1.5 part wheat to 0.5 part oat.
I wish I were your neighbour :) Lovely pictures I can eat out of..the recipe and everything is just perfect!
Cheers,

Sometimes cookies make life better. These look tasty. I am looking forward to your finished book!
Milk and cookies sounds heavenly.
Milk and cookies sounds heavenly.
Love the cookies. Love the straws. The whole post reminds me of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Love that book too. :)
This looks absolutely divine!x
You're right - sometimes a break for milk and cookies is all it takes to put the day on track. I echo your thoughts on Egypt. The images and stories are absolutely heart-wrenching.
I couldn't agree more, a perfect reflection of cookies and milk and such a lovely post. You have such a way with words and I love reading through your site! And such a lovely gesture for your neighbours. You never see that anymore. So sweet of you!
I can't wait for 'Foodography' to come out, you are a continuing inspiration for me! I am yet to find anyone else whose food photography/styling compares with how beautiful and simple yours is.
I'm pretty sure EVERY day for me is "one of those days"! I have this theory that cookies can solve all the world's problems, so I'm glad to hear you're spreading them! :)
I've never used coconut oil (or butter) before...I may have to look into that!
Gorgeous pics.. this is a classic!
Chocolate Chip Cookies must be the greatest food ever to be invented!
Wonderful GF chocolate chip recipe. I love flaxseed in cookies. I'd love a couple with a glass of milk right this minute!!
Happy neighbours! The styling is lovely and those funky little straws are extra cute.
Now I want to bake cookies, too, Helen! :D
I'll have to wait until Saturday to do it, but I'll have your beautiful cookies in mind when I'm baking.
Your neighbors are lucky to have you!
xx
you are so right, sometimes the simplicities of childhood are the best escape. a handful of cookies is definitely one of my faves...and naps w/ my dogs :)
cookies look so good
Cookies are quite possibly my favourite thing to eat and to make... When I don't know what I feel like making, I always end up turning to cookies. Now I'm craving them, great!
Yummy!
Your photographs always make me happy. I can't think of another food blog that I can say the same for. Chocolate chip cookies also make me happy, so needless to say I'm smiling right now:-D
those look so yummy!
would you happen to have any vegan recipes you'd recommend??
thanks!
These look great! If I wanted to sub chia seeds for the flax, is it a one for one exchange?
Delicious and fantastic photos!
Homemade chocolate chip cookies & polka dot straws??!! I'm in and now very happy :) xo
This looks so good!
I love cookies, but not the milk. :) Great pictures!
gorgeous! i am going to make these this weekend and see how critics (my kids) respond! p.s. I need those straws...where are they from!
I'm definitely making this for my husband this weekend, MMM MMM good!
Your photos are so beautiful- I could just stare at them all day! And I completely know what you mean about those days when you just need a cookie and some milk. I was having one of those days yesterday, actually. Yours look absolutely amazing. The classic American treat!
I like how you think, not "A cookie and a glass of milk", no a handful of cookies and a glass of milk..
These look like I might eat two or three handfuls...
These look amazing on a cold day like today.
these are so tempting and wonderful.
oh yes, i more often feel like a cookie and milk than I feel motivated to make them. These look great - i would love to make cookies with coconut oil. Will do so asap, thanks for the recipe!
thankyou for the recipe!
I've been 'star'-ing your posts in google reader for ages, planning to come back and make your recipes, but I had to make these right away on Thursday when you posted!
My partner thinks they are the perfect cookie with their flakey, crunchy texture. Thanks so much for sharing!
Helene,
I would love to know where you find those cute paper straws I see in many of your photos.
Thanks!
You sure have a way with taking the ordinary and turning it to the extraordinary.
that cookie might just put me on a cloud way above number 9!
Love the Straws! Cookies look great!
Helene - I just baked a batch of these off and all I can say is "WOW"! Better than the original!!!
I am having one of those days. the cookies look sensational! | http://www.tarteletteblog.com/2011/02/recipe-gluten-free-chocolate-chip.html?showComment=1296770005446 | 2013-05-18T10:22:05 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

On a low-salt diet, I’m allowed just 1,000 mg of sodium per day. So I use Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Seasoning Blend and cider vinegar instead of salt at the end of cooking dishes such as stews, soups and sauces. Sometimes I add a little sugar if needed to boost the flavor. When baking, I use no-sodium baking powder instead of regular baking powder. It can be found in health-food stores.

Mauritius Positions Itself as Gateway to Africa
2012-06-18
Mauritius
On 7 May 2012, Mauritius signed a Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) and Investment Promotion & Protection Agreement (IPPA) with Kenya. Taxand Mauritius examines this new relationship further, looking at the benefits the DTAA will bring for investors in Mauritius and Kenya.
To date, Mauritius has a total of 16 DTAAs (13 of which have been ratified) and 18 IPPAs signed with African countries, with a growing number of bilateral agreements.
The main articles of the Mauritius/Kenya DTAA are:
(1)5% applies where beneficial owner owns at least 10% of the company paying out the dividends/10% applies in all other cases
(2) Applicable on payment to non-residents/no WHT where payment is being made from a Global Business Company
(3) 15% applies to bank interest/25% in other cases
(4) 10% on payments to resident/15% on payments to non-residents/no WHT where payment is being made from a Global Business Company
Further, the Mauritius/Kenya DTAA provides for tax-sparing credit, and this will not dilute any incentive that has been given in Kenya. Other articles which follow the OECD model are in respect of Mutual Agreement Procedures, Assistance for Collection of Taxes, and Exchange of Information articles.
Taxand Mauritius examines the impact of the Mauritius/Kenya Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA)
Taxand's Take
Mauritius is positioning itself as a safe, trusted and well-established international financial centre, while consolidating its aspirations to be the natural choice of business and investment gateway into Africa.

Here at Taylors Garden Buildings we have a vast knowledge of all types of garden buildings and the associated planning regulations. This is a short guide to help you understand the vast amount of rules and regulations involved with erecting an outdoor building.The following should be read only as a guide line to planning permission for log cabins, sheds, garages, summerhouses, fences, gates and decking:As a general rule of thumb to avoid planning permission and building regulations the following applies in most areas of the country:
If your garden building does not comply with any of these rules it is likely you will require planning permission/building regulations.
The following is a guideline for planning permission for decking, fences, gates and garden walls. To avoid planning permission you need to follow the following guidelines.
If you are in any doubt please do contact your local planning office especially if you are living in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the broads, national parks or a world heritage site, you may also need planning permission if your house is registered as listed.
All of the above is accurate as of 1st October 2008 however things do change as we well know, you may have local restrictions, you’re property deed may restrict certain things, if you are at all uncertain, or require further clarification then please contact your local planning office – it only takes a quick call for peace of mind.I hope you find this small article useful, we have a condensed version on the site which may also be useful in our FAQ section on planning permission for Garden Buildings at Taylors.

D.C. Council
D.C. college students may lose access to residential parking
Comment
College students sometimes pay three times as much to park on campus as to receive tags to park in residential neighborhoods. One problem, however — residents aren't always happy. The D.C. Council is considering ending these recipricity tags and kicking students out of neighborhood parking spots.
Councilmember Tommy Wells recognizes D.C.'s walkability heroes

Comment
Today councilmembers heard from many of D.C.'s bicyclists about the failures of our roads — including the bicyclist struck in the well-publicized video of the Rhode Island Avenue accident. How should the Assault of Bicyclist Prevention Act of 2011 move forward?

Comment

D.C. Councilman Michael Brown buys office furniture right after tax hike
Comment
It was a long and contentious battle, but the D.C. Council finally passed a statistically small but symbolically significant tax hike on the richest residents. The smart thing to do after such a measure would be to not give the opposition — the design-inept D.C. GOP — any ammunition. Needless to say, a council member has done exactly the opposite.

Hayley Campbell files a personal report from the international comics festival of Barcelona, featuring appearances from her father (Eddie Campbell) and Kurt Busiek. Apparently zombies are kind of big in Spain.
Tom De Haven reviews Joe Ollmann’s Mid-Life (“attention ought now to be paid”).
Lots of Chester Brown coverage out there (the Journal‘s will begin next week).
Brad Mackay wrote a thoughtful review of Paying For It at the Globe and Mail. (Don’t miss the panel-by-panel visual examination of Brown’s style.) Mackay adds a little more background here.
Our own Sean Rogers reviews the book over at The Walrus. Sometimes I think the best writers about comics are all Canadian.
It is interesting to me that Mackay (like many of the reviewers so far) draws a clear separation between the comics section of Brown’s book and the commentary that follows it. (“I expect most people will judge this book on the comics, not the commentary, and these are some of the best comics of Brown’s career.”) In my reading of the book, I wasn’t able to separate the two so cleanly. I am not talking about the obvious political dimensions of the book (which advocates for decriminalizing prostitution, if you just logged on to the comics internet for the first time)—most adult readers are able to appreciate material morally alien to them to one degree or another. I just mean that the notes so inform the rest of the book (and the character of “Chester Brown,” among others) that it seems to me a distortion of the book to divide the parts too cleanly.
Somewhat related: Ed Park contributes an excellent essay touching on Brown’s frequent use of notes throughout his career, and particularly in Paying For It, for a new website called the Toronto Standard. If you are the type of reader who doesn’t like to know how a book ends beforehand, you might want to bookmark it for now. But don’t forget to come back later. This is one of the best things about the book I’ve seen so far.

Dinner at the beloved Carmela's pizzeria always doesn't have to be about pizza, but it should include at least a slice.
On my latest visit, I wanted a light starter. The scallop special with fennel and pieces of orange was interesting if viewed as a salad, but considering there were only two scallops on the plate, the price was steep ($12).
We also ordered arancini ($7), fried and presented in a cone, their crispy outside layer yielding to soft rice and a molten, gooey mozzarella center. They were served with a vibrant green basil sauce that we adored.
A simple, no-frills lasagna ($14) in a puddle of cheese and tomato sauce kept me happy for the main course.
With the plate sitting in front of me, I must have taken a dozen "this-is-really-the-last" bites, leading me to wonder if I would ever dare to eat again after this meal. But how could I resist cheese that had baked to the point of blistering, cheese that twirled lovingly around my fork and stretched away from the plate in one long string?
Carmela's is known for its thin-crusted Grandma pizza, which our server quickly pointed out should carry no more than four toppings. My date, a fan of pizza with everything on it, sampled Carmela's Works ($18). The restaurant prepares this pizza using traditional New York style crust which, unfortunately, is not that much thicker.
Even the freshly plated first slice was too soggy to eat without a knife and fork. This pie was decent near the edges, but the bulk of it did not live up to Carmela's standards.
The table next to us ordered a Grandma pizza with just pepperoni on it, and it was paraded past us, smelling divine, and looking as if, perhaps, it had been toasted a bit longer for a well-done crust. I will order a slice of that next time. When it comes to pizza toppings, I believe less is more.
One thing consistently good at Carmela's is the atmosphere. The chic wine bar section of the restaurant easily trumps the other two dining rooms. On many Wednesdays, one of our great local bands, The Nouveaux Honkies, can be found crammed into this area, playing an intimate yet loud show to the lucky patrons who squeeze into the remaining space.
During the rest of the week, it's a subdued, comfortable hideout that is — no surprise — a favorite among locals.

TOOJAY'S
Cuisine: Jewish deli
Hours: 11 a.m.-9 p.m. daily
Address: 555 21st St., Vero Beach
Phone: 772-569-6070
Alcohol: Wine and beer
Handicapped access: Yes
Reservations: No
Let's nosh.
When hunger strikes, get thee to an old-world Jewish deli.
Toojay's, in the Publix shopping center on Miracle Mile in Vero, will tempt you with a host of Jewish specialties, including authentic chopped chicken liver ($4.79) and an iconic pastrami sandwich ($8.49) the color of borscht. The hand-sliced meat is smoky and juicy, with just enough fat to be worthy of the name pastrami.
The meat is piled higher at Katz's, the world famous delicatessen on Manhattan's Lower East Side, but Toojay's pastrami tastes just as good. Katz's served as the setting for the memorable scene in "When Harry Met Sally" when Meg Ryan emits sounds of rapture from a side table in the delicatessen. Another patron tells her waiter, "I'll have what she's having."
I almost had a Meg Ryan experience when I met the Rachel at Toojay's. She's the sister of Reuben, who made his name from sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and corned beef on rye. Rachel uses pastrami — all the better to stand up to the kraut.
Take it from me: I think she wanted the pastrami.
Not everything we tried at Toojay's was so inspiring. Chicken potpie featured a limp puff pastry over a starchy filling. Meatloaf ($11.59) was standard, covered in gelatinous mushroom brown gravy.
Stick to the authentic Jewish deli offerings, like a mixed pastrami and corned beef sandwich ($8.79), with a dill pickle straight from the brining barrel.
Stuffed cabbage ($5.29 appetizer; $10.99 dinner) was the real deal, too, slathered in rich, sweet and sour tomato sauce.
But brisket of beef ($12.99) captured the gold: a Katz's sized tower of hand-sliced meat covering two potato pancakes, still crisp under the weight of it all.
We shared a dessert — a dense carrot cake, smothered in a cream cheese frosting, just like Bubbe used to make.

lousy overpriced pseudo jewish diner with poor atmosphere. this place would not last 3 days in a real jewish neighborhood. it is what it is, a place for a semi quick lunch with a mostly older clientele. the food is o.k. but nothing to write home about.

As a native of NYC, and a much decorated veteran of the pastrami wars, I have much to disagree with you about.
First, although a Rachel is OK, no self respecting connoisseur of pastrami eats it with cheese. Rye bread and mustard. Period.
You reference Katz's - have you been to The Carnagie, The Second Ave, or the Stage? I was at Katz's a few weeks ago and the midtown/uptown places are now better.
I guess that since most of the Miami places such as Rascal House and Wolfies are either closed or too far away, Too Jays can make do.
Please, there is no comparison with the above mentioned places. TooJays' pastrami should not be mentioned in the same "garlicky" breath as Katz's.

Considering this is such a small area and the readers actually take heed to what is written in here, people's reputations and income are in the balance.

SCHOOLHOUSE HISTORY
Known as the “Salerno Colored School,” the 25-by-30 foot wood-frame building served generations of black primary students from the 1930s to the 1960s.
Later it was moved across the street for use as Murray’s art room, then moved back near its original location and used as a band room.
Years after it was heavily damaged by Hurricane Wilma, Martin County has restored its original luster, including period-style schoolhouse furniture built by carpentry students at South Fork High School.

Students in the class are building 21 wooden desks for the restored New Monrovia one-room school house in Port Salerno. The dedication of the newly restored schoolhouse will be 11 a.m. March 9 at New Monrovia Park. “Building furniture is an art,” said Featherstone. “This is my 13th year teaching it and this is one of the best projects we’ve ever done.”
PORT SALERNO — The last one-room schoolhouse standing in Martin County will be rededicated Saturday after a complete restoration that saved the badly storm-damaged structure from the wrecking ball.
Soon after the ceremony expected to draw scores of former students, the “Salerno Colored School” in New Monrovia Park stands to become the county’s 12th officially designated historic landmark.
However, no one seems to know exactly when the little wood-frame building was erected, or by whom.
School board minutes going back nearly a century make no mention of construction of the blacks-only school, believed to have occurred about 1930. Along with other clues, some officials speculate a fund founded by Julius Rosenwald, a prominent white Chicago philanthropist, may have financed it.
“From the look of it, it could be a Rosenwald school,” said Joette Lorion Rice, chairwoman of the Martin County Historic Preservation Board. “It could also be that Martin County built it.”
A planned search through dusty school board archives eventually may clear up the mystery, she added.
Others are more certain of the building’s origins.
“It was built by a foundation for colored people, not the county,” said David Anderson, who attended the school in the 1940s and later became the first African-American elected to the county school board. In 1988, Stuart News columnist Joe Crankshaw reported that Rosenwald funds built the Port Salerno school as well as three others for blacks in Martin County: Booker Park, Hobe Sound and Jensen Beach.
Rosenwald, the president of Sears, Roebuck & Co., was inspired by Booker T. Washington to help improve educational facilities for blacks, which often were substandard or nonexistent in the segregated South. Between 1912 and Rosenwald’s death in 1932, the fund contributed to the construction of nearly 5,000 schools in 15 southern states.
An online database of Rosenwald projects at Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn., lists no buildings in Martin County. But Prof. Mary Hoffschwelle of Middle Tennessee State University, author of “The Rosenwald Schools of the American South,” said the database is not exhaustive.
“There are some omissions,” she said in a telephone interview. “It’s entirely possible yours is a Rosenwald school.” But, she added, the building’s characteristic Rosenwald design, including tall banks of windows and a raised platform for the teacher, doesn’t prove much. “Some schools just copied Rosenwald plans,” she said. “The fund would send blueprints to anyone, anywhere free of charge. They weren’t copyrighted.”
The restoration project has brought together many former students eager to recall their days with legendary teacher Costella Williams, who presided at the school from the 1930s to the 1960s.
“She was a mother to us,” Anderson said. “I wouldn’t be what I am today if it wasn’t for Costella.”
He and his brother Anthony, another former student at the schoolhouse, praised the restoration project. “It’s important to preserve our history and our heritage,” said Anthony Anderson. “We have to respect the past.”

***NOTE**** At the request of a teacher I have two story problem packets available. They are the SAME set, with the exception of how the 10-frame is represented. In this packet the 10-frame is represented VERTICALLY, as this is how we teach it at our school. The other packet has the 10-frame presented horizontally.
This is a 45 page packet of math story problems, practicing addition to 20. There are 4 different designs and one blank of each design so you can individualize them to meet your students needs. Students record their answer by drawing, filling in an empty 10 frame, and writing out the equation. We tried these out all last week in a few different classes(Kindergarten, 1st and 1st grade Intervention) and the kids all liked them.
The following Kindergarten Common Core Standards are practiced by completing these activity pages :
K.CC.3 Counting & Cardinality
Know number names and the count sequence.
3. Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
K.CC.4 Counting & Cardinality
Count to tell the number of objects.
4. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
K.OA.1 Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.
K.OA.2 Operations & Algebraic Thinking
Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from. | http://www.teachersnotebook.com/product/Joy%20of%20Life%202011/common-core-math-story-problems-kindergarten-1st-grade-45-pages | 2013-05-18T10:21:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Snow Buds (Xue Ya), Organic White Tea
Rishi Tea
I've sampled assorted and sundry white teas before. I remember liking most of them, but nothing really stood up head and shoulders above the pack. But just recently I found myself really impressed with Snow Buds, from Rishi Tea.
This is an excellent white tea, or at least so say I, but I think part of the fact that I liked it so much had to do with my tea drinking habits lately. Which has pretty much consisted of a whole lot of strong, heavy black teas - Yunnans and Assams mostly.
To suddenly make a changeover to a delicate white tea was a nice switch and served to remind me that black is not the be all and end all of tea.
Rishi describes Snow Buds as "a rare white tea that is hand harvested in very limited quantities for Rishi on the high mountain peaks of northern Fujian, China."
As for the flavor, there's no point in me reinventing the wheel, when Rishi has already offered up a good description, "its clear infusion offers a fresh green note with a complex savory flavor and aroma that can be likened to toasted grains and baked sweet potato."
I don't know that I'd have been clever enough to isolate the two latter components of the flavor, but I also won't argue with that description.
If you're looking for a nice, light white tea, whether as an antidote to too much black or just because, you could do a lot worse than Snow Buds.
Highly recommended.

Total workouts completed today
People in the gym at today's peak
People working out now
Have you ever heard the saying "abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym"? It's true, but when you're training with Body Beast™, nutrition is an art. To build the muscles you desire, it's imperative that you not only eat the right foods, but also that you eat enough of them each day. As Sagi says, food is "100 percent of the equation . . . if you don't eat enough of the right foods, you simply can't get big!"
To build mass, depending on your current weight and how much mass you want to gain, you'll need to consume between 1,800 and 5,000 calories in 5 to 6 evenly-spaced meals. The amount of food you need to eat and the percentage of macronutrients (protein, fat, carbs) your body requires will depend on what phase you're on in the plan..
For most of you, we know that consuming 3,000, 4,000, or even 5,000 calories in a day is a lot more than you're accustomed to eating. You'll get used to it, and with the Body Beast workouts your body will crave calories. You'll get these in four ways:
Meals. We recommend eating 3 meals and 3 snacks throughout the day. Eating this way will keep your hunger at bay and keep your blood sugar levels more even.
Liquids. Because your body feels less full when you drink your calories, healthy liquids (juice, dairy, rice milk, almond milk, and the Beast-O-Matic Mass Gainer Shakes below) are a great way to get the calories you need without feeling stuffed.
Beast-O-Matic Mass Gainer Shakes. These delicious shakes are designed to pack as many calories into a glass as possible. They're great for when you're on the go or when you need calories fast.
Supplements. We have designed four supplements specifically for the Body Beast program: the high-protein Beachbody® Hardcore Base Shake, the high-carb Beachbody® Fuel Shot, Beachbody® M.A.X. Muscle Acceleration Xtreme Creatine, and Beachbody® Super Suma. Read more about these four integral products on the Supplements page.

During the current economic decline, most professionals and students looking for jobs do not have the luxury to be picky about where they apply or what positions they accept. However, it is still important to find a job that suits your skill set and personality. For PR professionals, that usually means choosing between agency life and in-house communications departments.
I recently attended a panel discussion at the Entertainment Publicists Professional Society about how to choose between working in PR at an agency or in-house at an organization. The panel consisted of Adam Fenton (SVP, Bender, Helper Impact), Lisa Gephardt (Sr. Director, Corporate Communications, Sony), Elissa Johansmeier, (VP, Publicity & Corporate Communications, Fox Broadcasting), and Brian Strong (Founder and President, The Strong Group Public Relations). Here are some of the highlights and tips that came out of that discussion.
Agency:
- At an agency, since you work with more than one client at a time, there tends to be more diversity in the projects you work on and even the types of clients you will work with on a daily basis.
- Agencies tend to work at a faster pace, with employees constantly jumping around from one project to another and one client to another. If you are looking to work at an agency, it is important for you to be able to juggle multiple projects at one time and not lose sight of the overall goals. Successful time management is vital at agencies.
- Working at an agency, especially for those just starting out in PR, could provide more exposure to different public relations techniques, campaign elements, etc. that will provide additional learning opportunities.
- Since agencies are constantly looking for new clients, there is always an opportunity to work on an exciting account or change your specialization. If your account load seems a bit one sided, new clients can provide you with the opportunity to be exposed to new verticals and widen your knowledge base.
In-House:
- PR professionals who work in-house in a communications department often times have the opportunity to be more focused on overall strategy. Although agencies do provide recommendations on strategy, professionals working in-house are usually tasked with making the final decision on strategic direction or even creating complete campaigns.
- If you decide to work in-house at an organization, make sure you have a personal interest in the area the company is in or at least enjoy working in that industry. You will only have one client if you work in-house so you should have a passion for what they do and what they offer.
- The in-house experience will frequently allow you to take a deeper dive into each project. You may be tasked with running a campaign from start to finish, instead of just touching on certain aspects of the campaign, which often times happens at an agency.
- In-house work can be very repetitive. If you are the type of person who likes to do similar tasks for a long length of time, this is the job for you.
Depending on the size of the agency and the organization you are working for in-house, your experience could be very different than what was described during this panel. Working at a large agency could have the look and feel of working in-house, depending on the agency. PRSSA recently profiled a day in the life of a PR professional working at a small business, which closely resembles agency life. It is vital for anyone going through the interview process to research the company before you apply for a position with them and know the size of the company, as well as its corporate culture.

Very interesting arguments, thanks for sharing! I’m at my first PR job, at a small agency. It’s definitely more varied than I think in-house would be! The difference between big and small agencies is also different.
Thanks for commenting, Marco! I agree, the difference between a big and small agency is also very different, but almost parallel to the difference between agency and in-house. Good luck at your first PR job!
Any comments on pay differentials?
I know its almost 12 months late but its still relevent as I search for my first full time job. I am currently awaiting the final decision from two employers- one of the top PR agencies in the UK, or in-house at a National Museum.- So which do I choose? the agency where I will work on different projects across different sectors, working the some of the top people in the industry but having to commute around 1hr each way and paying up to £1900 in travel. The agency’s salary is £17000-18000. Or in-house at the museum, similar job roles to the agency, no commuting as it’s in the town where I live, and the salary is £25,000.
I know I’m late too, but this is a really helpful blog post. I’m a PR major and was wondering if I could use one of your points as a direct quote for an article I am writing for a student publication, Platform Magazine ().

Have you tried out Windows 8 yet? Scheduled to be released to the general public on October 26, 2012, Windows 8 is the next major release of Microsoft’s desktop operating system. The most notable change from Windows 7 is the new touch-optimized user interface (Metro/Modern UI). This interface completely replaces the famous Start Menu that has been a key component of the operating system since Windows 95.
Many users, particularly those not using touch screens, will not be happy with this change. Unfortunately, Microsoft appears to be forcing all users, regardless of whether or not they’re using a touch screen, to use the new Modern UI.
Fortunately, a free app called Start8 from Stardock brings the Start button and menu back to Windows 8. It basically loads a non-fullscreen version of the Modern UI.
Start menu using the Modern UI
Right clicking the Start button allows you to easily shutdown and change some options, including the size of the Start menu. These options also determine whether or not the Modern UI is loaded in fullscreen at all (via the Windows Key and Charms bar).
Right clicking the Start button
A bonus feature of Start8 is the ability to login directly to the desktop, rather than the start screen (Modern UI), something that Microsoft says was done intentionally.
Login directly to the desktop instead of the Start screen
Have a different method to bring the start menu back? What are your overall thoughts about Windows 8? Share with us in the comments.

Faster Internet speeds are what coming in the near future as the German tech giant AT&T last week disclosed about its plan for rolling out the 4G LTE service in Muncie area soon. AT&T is committed to bring about faster Internet service for mobile phones.
However, the announcement follows the late January announcement by Verizon Wireless that the company was planning to expand its Indiana 4G LTE network.
On the other hand, AT&T claimed the LTE service would lower latency that means the time required for moving data through an Internet network. Moreover, the company claimed a comparatively lower latency rate is capable of improving video calling & mobile gaming.
AT&T also said it is interested to implement its 4G LTE in Muncie, Lafayette and Bloomington.
Turning to Verizon, the company unveiled that it would introduce new cell sites & upgrade equipment for boosting coverage & capacity for voice & data. | http://www.techgadgetsweb.com/8201/faster-internet-service-cellphone-coming | 2013-05-18T10:22:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Is this PC good?
Friend built it for me, get the mobo in a couple weeks, all I need to do is put it in and it is go. Just don't know a thing about PCs. Want to know if it is good bad, need it explained it terms of running which games on which settings lol.
Processor: AMD 6-core Thuban 3.2GHz
RAM: 16GB high performance G.Skill DDR3 1600 MHz
motherboard: High Performance/Ultra Durable ASUS Sabertooth 990FX w/SATA 3, (compatible with newest AMD Bulldozer processors)
graphics: EVGA NVidia GeForce 570 GTX Overclocked Edition 3GB VRAM
cooler: high-performance dual torus copper finned cooler SSD drive: Corsair FX 60GB SSD (for Win system files) HD Drive: WD Raptor 10K RPM 300GB (for Documents and Win logs) SAMSUNG Blue-ray/DVD Drive (Reads/Writes both) ANTEC EasySATA HotSwap HDD Tray (takes regular SATA drives) connected to
SATA3 on mobo
On-board Gigabit Networking
PCI-Express: Intel Dual Server Gigabit Adapter 1000PT Thermaltake ToughPower 875W PSU
Win7 Ultimate
HAF 512 (High Air Flow) case with sound deadening foam inside on sides/bottom/top for quietness and 5 low-noise fans
looks fine, but depends on what you plan on running on it.
And as to how it will run games, until you list what games you plan on running no one can say for sure how they will run and at what detail levels.
cooler: high-performance dual torus copper finned cooler
HAF 512, its 912. Also Corsair doesn't have an FX series SSD, this is all they have: Corsair SSD Hard Drives — Solid-State Drives for laptops and desktop PCs with the highest performance Read/Write speeds of up to 555MB/s read and 525MB/s write.
Was it the GT model you have? If so, that drive is fine, one of the best out there.
As to the Motheboard "compatible with newest AMD Bulldozer processors" don't even bother with the FX series if you ever planned on Upgrading the FX were a flop. The Thuban X6 you have now actually outperforms the FX series 6 core, or at least matches it, the FX series aside from the 8 core, don't outperform the prior gen Phenom II Series at all.
So your fine on the CPU.
Looking at the GPU, notice its the doubled up memory model with 3GB (Stock 570 has 1.5GB), so you should be good to go on almost any game out there, Battlefield 3 Should be able to play on High settings pretty well, just as an example, and games like Skyrim will be able to be maxed out with Frame rates of over 60fps easily.
Skyrim, runs fully maxed out at 1080p on my system with frame rates between 40 and 60+, and I'm just running a single GTX 560 Ti with 1GB memory on it right now, also running a Core i7 940 2.93GHz Quad core, which is actually a faster CPU in overall performance to the 6 core you have, and 6GB DDR3 in Triple channel memory
I will post more when I get it running in a week or so.
As it sounds it seems to be all right in what I was looking for. I plan on playing Dark Souls PC release as it will have content the PS3 version will not have. Also playing FFXIV 2.0 which is main reason I bought it. Right now I have to play games like League Of Legends on lowest settings, and Minecraft was a little laggy after so much map was spawned.
Was $900 a good price to pay for it?
Doing rough estimates on parts pricing and $900 is a pretty good deal, would of cost at least an easy grand or more for all of that brand new, and assembled.
as to the games, everything you list should run on max settings with the hardware, unfamiliar with the one Dark Souls game, but everything else will run at max settings and really high frame rates, infact most of the system is overkill for those games.
this kind of rig is more for Crysis 2, BF3, Elder Scroll games, Metro 2033, and other high end high demand graphics games.
But yes, it is a good price and will perform great for the games you mentioned
Well I plan on playing games like Skyrim and BF3 eventually. Just not high on my priority list, so good to hear it is available. Thank you for the info, I will post the spec sheet when I have my PC turned on.
Welcome to TechIMO!
As already said by Shyguy that PC is a rather good deal that should have zero problem running the games you listed. In fact it's practically identical to my system in my signature and I assure you, besides 64 player matches on BF3 (which I run on a mix of ultra and high settings) I can max every single game out at 1080p. Don't know about Metro 2033 though on max, that game seems to kill gpu's, but the point is the sameMain

Hi-Grade is a UK-based manufacturer known for providing the latest technology at reasonable prices. The Notino D7000SRA (£799 inc. VAT) combines an impressive specification, strong features and reliable warranty cover, to make it a good choice for value-conscious buyers.
Although our review unit was a pre-production model, the chassis was sturdy and well made. Its 2.8kg weight won't suit regular mobile use and neither will the low 144-minute battery life, but you can still keep working on short journeys or around the house though when necessary.
The keyboard is well secured and comfortable to use. All keys are large with a smooth degree of travel, although the typing action is a little too firm. The touchpad and mouse buttons are equally usable and a panel of media keys allows easy control of music and video files.
The 15.4-inch screen is large enough for comfortable multi-tasking and viewing photos and movies. Brightness, colour and contrast are all strong and bring images to life. A dedicated ATi graphics card is used to provide strong 3D performance for multimedia editing and basic gaming. While we were unable to benchmark this pre-production unit, we have tested this ATi card many times and can confirm its power for most home use.
High performance
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2048MB of memory provides a good performance. It is easy to work in speed and comfort and run multiple applications without a noticeable drop in performance.
The 250GB hard drive provides ample storage for your files. Data can be backed up to dual-layer DVDs using the built-in DVD rewriter. A fingerprint scanner is also fitted, and lets you easily protect your entire system and data from prying eyes.
A basic yet effective software package gets new users up and running at no extra cost. OpenOffice software provides a full suite of office tools compatible with Microsoft file formats and includes free updates for life. Nero lets you create your own CDs and DVDs with ease.
The Hi-Grade also stands out thanks to its impressive warranty. It provides two years of protection as standard. Parts and labour costs are covered, as well as all delivery fees.
The combination of high performance, powerful components, bright screen and strong usability all make the Hi-Grade Notino D7000SRA a pleasure to use. It's free office suite and impressive warranty will also suit first-time buyers, making this a great laptop for the money. | http://www.techradar.com/au/reviews/pc-mac/laptops-portable-pcs/laptops-and-netbooks/hi-grade-notino-d7000sra-206080/review | 2013-05-18T11:04:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Regardless of what you do for a living, it’s easy to focus on the negatives of the job and let those things bring you down. However, most jobs have certain perks, and IT is no exception. This article discusses some of the benefits I’ve experienced over the years as a result of working in IT.
1: You get to meet lots of people
One of my absolute favorite things about working in IT is that you get to meet so many interesting people. Back in the mid-90s, for example, I worked for a large insurance company with about 1,000 users. I can honestly say that I knew most of those users on a first-name basis. Better still, even though I left the company about 15 years ago, some of the people I met there are still my best friends to this day.
Without a doubt, the greatest benefit that came from getting to know so many people was that I met my wife of 17 years as a direct result of working in IT. She was working in the marketing department at the time, and I met her because she called me to fix her printer.
2: The money can be good
Even though IT will probably never be the way that it was during the dot-com boom, IT does tend to pay better-than-average salaries. Of course, the pay level varies considerably from one company to the next and from one position to the next.
3: It’s easy to move around
One thing I have always noticed about IT is that it is relatively easy to move around. I have known plenty of IT pros who got bored with their position and switched to a different IT specialty with minimal effort. For instance, I have known network administrators who became database administrators and software developers who became network administrators.
4: You have personal freedom
IT pros tend to have a lot of personal freedom. I will be the first to admit that corporate culture can vary considerably from one organization to the next and that some organizations are more permissive than others. Even so, I can’t remember anyone ever making me punch a time clock or stick to a rigid break schedule. Most of the IT jobs I have had have allowed me to set my own hours and even work from home when I wanted to (within reason). Likewise, I have always had total freedom to decorate my office anyway I wanted.
5: You get to help people
Another great thing about working in IT is that you get to help a lot of people. Some people hate IT because they’re usually calling with a problem they want you to solve. Even so, I have always found it gratifying to be able to end the day knowing that I was able to spend it helping people.
6: You get paid to spend time away from the office
This may not apply to everybody, but one thing I have always enjoyed immensely about IT is the travel. The very nature of the job means that you constantly have to learn new things and oftentimes, this means traveling to training classes and technical conferences.
Although I do confess to being a travel junkie, there is also something very cool about being away from the office for a few days without having to burn up any of your vacation time. What’s even better is that technology conferences tend to be held in places where there are plenty of things to see and do after hours.
7: You sometimes face unusual challenges
Few things in life bring me down faster than monotony. While every job has some amount of repetition, IT has the unique advantage of requiring creative solutions to unusual problems. There is definitely something to be said for being challenged once in a while.
8: You have access to cool toys
A definite perk of working in IT is having access to cool toys. Just yesterday, for example, I had to spend several hours in a hospital waiting room, so I got some work done using my Windows 8 tablet. While doing so, several people stopped to ask me where I got the tablet, since Windows 8 won’t be out until sometime next year.
The same basic concept has always held true regardless of the hot technology of the moment. Back in the 90s, I remember using a flatbed scanner to copy pictures for my friends at a time when none of them had ever even heard of a scanner.
9: IT knowledge can be helpful in everyday life
Although perhaps not a job perk, IT knowledge can definitely be helpful in everyday life. For example, there was a time long, long ago when the network cabling standard of choice was coaxial Ethernet. I spent one entire summer pulling coaxial cable and attaching cable ends. At the time, I hated the job. But even though nobody uses coaxial Ethernet anymore, the knowledge I gained installing all that cable came in handy just last week.
My next-door neighbors had some carpet installed. The installer accidentally cut their satellite cable. The cable used by satellite dishes is similar to what was used for Ethernet so long ago. Since I still have my tools, I was able to repair the cable for them, so they didn’t have to wait a week and pay for a service call from the satellite company.
10: The job sometimes comes with special rewards
Earlier, I mentioned that one of the great things about working in IT is that you get to help people. Sometimes, people who you help are so grateful that they provide a special reward. Over the years, I have had clients send me various gifts as a way of saying thank-you for helping them out in a pinch. When I worked for the military, some of the people I helped even thanked me by taking me for joy rides in tanks and helicopters.
Don’t get me wrong — I don’t help people because I expect to get something in return. However, it is always a nice feeling when someone surprises you with a thank-you gift.
Other perks?

One question I get more than any other is “how do I select from XYZ technologies what to learn?” Not everyone knows what they want to do within the development industry, and given the costs (time and money) associated with learning new skills, it is important to make the right choice.
I have written numerous forum responses and emails with the same basic set of instructions, so it is clear to me that people are interested in this topic. I also wrote a TechRepublic post on the topic in 2009 in which I outlined five questions you should ask yourself before choosing which programming language to learn. Here are four more tips I give anyone who asks me this question.
1: Pick a place to work
You have to pick your skill set by the geographic location where you want to work. When I was in New York City, all Java was very popular because the big companies had deep investments in Unix and mainframes that could run Java, so it was a way for them to get away from COBOL and other legacy systems without abandoning their commitment to those platforms. But when I moved to South Carolina, .NET was much more prevalent even for the same kinds of industries, even though it was fairly new, thanks to a ton of local shops migrating from VB6.
2: Develop a profile of the companies where you want to work
Most people want more than just “a job” — they want to work for a company they enjoy working for, and might even have a specific industry in mind. This is especially true for people making software development a second career and who may already have some experience in a specific industry.
If your wants are not too specific, the profile of the company you write down does not have to be specific, just try to be as accurate as possible. Some things to include:
- Size of company
- Publicly traded or private firm
- Maturity of company
- Rate of growth
- Risk/reward tolerance (can you work for a poorly funded startup in exchange for stock options and growth opportunities?)
- Industry
- Office environment
- Team size
- Management techniques
A word of caution:The more specific you make your profile, the harder it will be for you to get any meaningful data.
3: General job preference
You will want to put together a general idea of what kind of job you want. This should not be very specific, because unless you live in a huge metro region, it is unlikely that you will see any jobs even close to it.
4: Research
Using your geographic preference, company profile, and ideal job, start digging through job ads. Use the largest variety of resources possible, and do your best to identify duplicate postings (even if the duplicates are different recruiters, they will probably copy/paste the job description). Make a chart of the skills that you see listed in the ads, and make sure to note if they are “required” or “preferred” skills. The chart should also show the things that you care about, like where the jobs are located, the type of company they are, etc. Once the chart is made, rank the jobs in the order of attractiveness to you. Finally, look for the commonalities among the top ranked jobs.
This approach should not take you more than a few hours, but once you have done it, you should have a crystal clear idea of the kinds of programming skills you should be mastering to get the job you want.

BankSim: The Bank Management Simulation
Source: Marquette University
BankSim is an innovative educational program which combines the benefits of a bank management course with a sophisticated computer model. It fuses abstract theory and realistic experience to give the banker participant a unique learning opportunity. The computer simulation emphasizes effective management decision-making with each simulated bank deciding what kind of a bank it wants to be, what goals make up its operational plan and what strategies are necessary to attain these goals. This paper develops a brief description of the BankSim seminar and the administration necessary to effectively operate the program. In addition, the paper includes a section examining participant responses to the program. | http://www.techrepublic.com/whitepapers/banksim-the-bank-management-simulation/2331835?cname=financial-services | 2013-05-18T10:43:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Seven Tips for Profiting from Lean Times with CRM
Source: Oracle
With their rapid speed of deployment, integrated analytics and built-in best practices, on-demand CRM solutions can quickly vault a sales organization ahead of its rivals. And because of their flexible licensing structure, on-demand solutions can be deployed selectively, enabling businesses to deploy only as much CRM as they need. The best time to streamline and turbo-charge the sales process is when competitors are looking the other way. That's why now is a good time to make the shift to a CRM solution that can catapult your organization into the next round of growth. | http://www.techrepublic.com/whitepapers/seven-tips-for-profiting-from-lean-times-with-crm/919139?scname=sales-force-automation | 2013-05-18T10:53:44 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
UML 2 in a Nutshell: Use Case Diagrams
Source: O'Reilly Media
Use cases are a way to capture system functionality and requirements in UML. Use case diagrams consist of named pieces of functionality (use cases), the persons or things invoking the functionality (actors), and possibly the elements responsible for implementing the use cases (subjects). Use cases represent distinct pieces of functionality for a system, a component, or even a class. Each use case must have a name that is typically a few words describing the required functionality, such as View Error Log. UML provides two ways to draw a use case. | http://www.techrepublic.com/whitepapers/uml-2-in-a-nutshell-use-case-diagrams/324595?scname=programming-languages | 2013-05-18T10:55:53 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
This post originally appeared on TechSoup.org's blog and was written by Jim Lynch, Co-Director of TechSoup Global's GreenTech program.
It's happening in nearly every office – employees are using their own mobile phones and tablet computers for work email and countless other work things. The trend is called "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) or the consumerization of IT. Having all kinds of diverse devices and software floating around in the workplace wreaks havoc with IT systems. What's an organization to do to get a handle on this?
The Problem
Many nonprofit and library workers and volunteers get work email or access databases or use the organization’s intranet using their personal devices. IT systems are expected to open their systems up for this, but in doing so, they tend to lose control of important organizational data, need to support additional applications that serve personal devices, and face legal liabilities in case a personal device is lost or stolen.
Organizations with government grants or who are involved in healthcare are especially liable for organizational data going all over the place. And so the question of ownership of devices like mobile phones and tablet computers and control over their use becomes very important. On the one hand, people are more productive when they use their personal devices for work. On the other hand, it’s an IT headache.
Getting a Handle on BYOD
In looking at the literature on the subject, it looks to me like the logical approach is to limit BYOD users in two ways: the types of personal devices they can use for work; and to limit the number of people IT needs to heavily support.
In terms of limiting devices, it’s much easier for an IT department to support a few types of devices than all devices. If lots of workers have iPhones and iPads, and another significant group has Android or Windows mobile devices, then companies seem to be opting to limit support to two or three types of personal devices, and they may opt to define what apps on each platform they support for accessing organizational email, for instance.
In terms of limiting users, IT departments seem to be thinking of their employees in terms of segments or tiers. TechSoup itself has adopted a tiered user policy. This simply means that mission-critical and frequent mobile users like remote workers are fully supported both in terms of IT and perhaps also in getting subsidies for paying for mobile service. Occasional BYOD users or people who spend most of their time in the office get less support.
InfoWorld's Guide to a Successful BYOD and Mobile IT Strategy recommends this approach (free PDF download, but requires a registration):
For example, you might segment your staff as follows:
- Those who use the most sensitive data get company-paid, company-managed devices.
- Those who work extensively away from their desks receive subsidies for most or all of their personal device charges.
- Those who work away from their desks occasionally receive a partial subsidy for their personal device use.
- Those who rarely work away from their desks receive no subsidy, and you may consider locking their devices out of your systems altogether.
How BYOD Affects Workers
Perhaps the most controversial thing about such policies are the amount of ownership that an organization takes over personal devices. The most dramatic example of this that I’ve found is a news story by National Public Radio entitled Wipeout: When Your Company Kills Your iPhone. It’s a sad tale of a woman who was getting work email on her phone, and then suddenly the phone went dead. It turns out her company mistakenly did a "remote wipe" of her phone that erased everything on it. She was understandably irate about her IT department doing that to her phone that she pays for every month. The moral of the story, as Galen Gruman put it in the InfoWorld guide linked above: “Employment policies boil down to ‘if you access business communications like email from a personal device, you give us the right to manage, lock, and even wipe that device, even if you end up losing personal data and apps as a result.’ This is often codified with a written agreement that spells out management expectations for both parties.”
I’m sure this isn’t the end of the story, but it sure is a scary beginning.

we have a few Dell Precision T3500 with Win 7 64-bit OS. We use them in computer labs setting. I change the local policy to have the Username and password prompted on the screen for the user to log in. These system are not on domain and are part of a workgroup. When the user want to logout, switch user, or resume, the login windows gets displayed with two boxes for user name and password. I like for the last user name to be displayed in the box. Is there any way to make the last user name displayed? I tried changing the local policy for Interactive logon: Do not display last user name, but it changes the welcome screen and displays all the users names with their icons. I just want to have the last user name displayed in the username box. I do not want to deal with the CTRl+Al+DEL setting.

After 13 weeks on the market, the Nintendo 3DS has passed the 1 million sales mark in Japan. This isn't a very good start: the DS hit that mark in four weeks, while the DS Lite and DSi took eight weeks, according to Adriasang.. Satoru Iwata, president and CEO of Nintendo, said the following, according to an official translation: "Nintendo 3DS started very well but, on the other hand, did not perform as expected after the second week."
"The initial sales were healthy; however, the sales speed slowed down from the third week after its launch which is not what we had expected for the start-up transition," said Iwata. .
a fix in one word
-GAMES-
the launch titles were terrible!
completely agree, awful launch titles.
Only now, after E3, are we getting news of the big-hitters in Nintendo land, much too late IMHO. If the games weren't ready, why not delay the system just a couple months, it's not like Nintendo has much (if any) competition right now in the dedicated-gaming Handheld business.
Besides I'm not paying extra to do stuff my cellphone could do just for the novelty of. I would be more than please to have the DS lite till this day.

About Web Cryptography
Cryptography is the technology of protecting data so that only an authorized person can view it.
On the Web, the HTTPS protocol (URLs that begin with https:// and show a lock icon in your browser) is the most common form of cryptography and we all rely on it to protect our credit cards, bank accounts, and other private information.
The only problem is that HTTPS works from the user's browser to your server. After their private data reaches your server it is no longer protected.
This is where FormMailEncoder fills the gap!
FormMailEncoder provides the encryption from your server to your email inbox.
By utilizing HTTPS protocol to your server and FormMailEncoder from your server to you, you can provide end-to-end encryption for your customers and web site visitors.

A reply on Talk: Sarah-Jayne Blakemore: The mysterious workings of the adolescent brain
Another point I want to make is about knowledge. Knowledge is the same thing as brain physiology. Learning and memory happens through the synapses between the neurons in various regions of the brain. When a person is exposed to a behavior (or more generally, a stimulus), the connections and synapses become stronger each time that stimulus is presented. This is how the brain stores the information it receives and will use in later in responses it makes toward its environment, or behaviour if you will.

So I'm going to speak about a problem that I have and that's that I'm a philosopher.
When I go to a party and people ask me what do I do and I say, "I'm a professor," their eyes glaze over. When I go to an academic cocktail party and there are all the professors around, they ask me what field I'm in and I say, "philosophy" -- their eyes glaze over.
When I go to a philosopher's party
and they ask me what I work on and I say, "consciousness," their eyes don't glaze over -- their lips curl into a snarl.
And I get hoots of derision and cackles and growls because they think, "That's impossible! You can't explain consciousness." The very chutzpah of somebody thinking that you could explain consciousness is just out of the question.
My late, lamented friend Bob Nozick, a fine philosopher, in one of his books, "Philosophical Explanations," is commenting on the ethos of philosophy -- the way philosophers go about their business. And he says, you know, "Philosophers love rational argument." And he says, "It seems as if the ideal argument for most philosophers is you give your audience the premises and then you give them the inferences and the conclusion, and if they don't accept the conclusion, they die. Their heads explode." The idea is to have an argument that is so powerful that it knocks out your opponents. But in fact that doesn't change people's minds at all.
It's very hard to change people's minds about something like consciousness, and I finally figured out the reason for that. The reason for that is that everybody's an expert on consciousness. We heard the other day that everybody's got a strong opinion about video games. They all have an idea for a video game, even if they're not experts. But they don't consider themselves experts on video games; they've just got strong opinions. I'm sure that people here who work on, say, climate change and global warming, or on the future of the Internet, encounter people who have very strong opinions about what's going to happen next. But they probably don't think of these opinions as expertise. They're just strongly held opinions. But with regard to consciousness, people seem to think, each of us seems to think, "I am an expert. Simply by being conscious, I know all about this." And so, you tell them your theory and they say, "No, no, that's not the way consciousness is! No, you've got it all wrong." And they say this with an amazing confidence.
And so what I'm going to try to do today is to shake your confidence. Because I know the feeling -- I can feel it myself. I want to shake your confidence that you know your own innermost minds -- that you are, yourselves, authoritative about your own consciousness. That's the order of the day here.
Now, this nice picture shows a thought-balloon, a thought-bubble. I think everybody understands what that means. That's supposed to exhibit the stream of consciousness. This is my favorite picture of consciousness that's ever been done. It's a Saul Steinberg of course -- it was a New Yorker cover. And this fellow here is looking at the painting by Braque. That reminds him of the word baroque, barrack, bark, poodle, Suzanne R. -- he's off to the races. There's a wonderful stream of consciousness here and if you follow it along, you learn a lot about this man. What I particularly like about this picture, too, is that Steinberg has rendered the guy in this sort of pointillist style.
Which reminds us, as Rod Brooks was saying yesterday: what we are, what each of us is -- what you are, what I am -- is approximately 100 trillion little cellular robots. That's what we're made of. No other ingredients at all. We're just made of cells, about 100 trillion of them. Not a single one of those cells is conscious; not a single one of those cells knows who you are, or cares. Somehow, we have to explain how when you put together teams, armies, battalions of hundreds of millions of little robotic unconscious cells -- not so different really from a bacterium, each one of them -- the result is this. I mean, just look at it. The content -- there's color, there's ideas, there's memories, there's history. And somehow all that content of consciousness is accomplished by the busy activity of those hoards of neurons. How is that possible? Many people just think it isn't possible at all. They think, "No, there can't be any sort of naturalistic explanation of consciousness."
This is a lovely book by a friend of mine named Lee Siegel, who's a professor of religion, actually, at the University of Hawaii, and he's an expert magician, and an expert on the street magic of India, which is what this book is about, "Net of Magic." And there's a passage in it which I would love to share with you. It speaks so eloquently to the problem. "."
Now, that's the way a lot of people feel about consciousness.
Real consciousness is not a bag of tricks. If you're going to explain this as a bag of tricks, then it's not real consciousness, whatever it is. And, as Marvin said, and as other people have said, "Consciousness is a bag of tricks." This means that a lot of people are just left completely dissatisfied and incredulous when I attempt to explain consciousness. So this is the problem. So I have to do a little bit of the sort of work that a lot of you won't like, for the same reason that you don't like to see a magic trick explained to you. How many of you here, if somebody -- some smart aleck -- starts telling you how a particular magic trick is done, you sort of want to block your ears and say, "No, no, I don't want to know! Don't take the thrill of it away. I'd rather be mystified. Don't tell me the answer." A lot of people feel that way about consciousness, I've discovered. And I'm sorry if I impose some clarity, some understanding on you. You'd better leave now if you don't want to know some of these tricks.
But I'm not going to explain it all to you. I'm going to do what philosophers do. Here's how a philosopher explains the sawing-the-lady-in-half trick. You know the sawing-the-lady-in-half trick? The philosopher says, "I'm going to explain to you how that's done. You see, the magician doesn't really saw the lady in half."
"He merely makes you think that he does." And you say, "Yes, and how does he do that?" He says, "Oh, that's not my department, I'm sorry."
So now I'm going to illustrate how philosophers explain consciousness. But I'm going to try to also show you that consciousness isn't quite as marvelous -- your own consciousness isn't quite as wonderful -- as you may have thought it is. This is something, by the way, that Lee Siegel talks about in his book. He marvels at how he'll do a magic show, and afterwards people will swear they saw him do X, Y, and Z. He never did those things. He didn't even try to do those things. People's memories inflate what they think they saw. And the same is true of consciousness.
Now, let's see if this will work. All right. Let's just watch this. Watch it carefully. I'm working with a young computer-animator documentarian named Nick Deamer, and this is a little demo that he's done for me, part of a larger project some of you may be interested in. We're looking for a backer. It's a feature-length documentary on consciousness. OK, now, you all saw what changed, right? How many of you noticed that every one of those squares changed color? Every one. I'll just show you by running it again. Even when you know that they're all going to change color, it's very hard to notice. You have to really concentrate to pick up any of the changes at all.
Now, this is an example -- one of many -- of a phenomenon that's now being studied quite a bit. It's one that I predicted in the last page or two of my 1991 book, "Consciousness Explained," where I said if you did experiments of this sort, you'd find that people were unable to pick up really large changes. If there's time at the end, I'll show you the much more dramatic case. Now, how can it be that there are all those changes going on, and that we're not aware of them? Well, earlier today, Jeff Hawkins mentioned the way your eye saccades, the way your eye moves around three or four times a second. He didn't mention the speed. Your eye is constantly in motion, moving around, looking at eyes, noses, elbows, looking at interesting things in the world. And where your eye isn't looking, you're remarkably impoverished in your vision. That's because the foveal part of your eye, which is the high-resolution part, is only about the size of your thumbnail held at arms length. That's the detail part. It doesn't seem that way, does it? It doesn't seem that way, but that's the way it is. You're getting in a lot less information than you think.
Here's a completely different effect. This is a painting by Bellotto. It's in the museum in North Carolina. Bellotto was a student of Canaletto's. And I love paintings like that -- the painting is actually about as big as it is right here. And I love Canalettos, because Canaletto has this fantastic detail, and you can get right up and see all the details on the painting. And I started across the hall in North Carolina, because I thought it was probably a Canaletto, and would have all that in detail. And I noticed that on the bridge there, there's a lot of people -- you can just barely see them walking across the bridge. And I thought as I got closer I would be able to see all the detail of most people, see their clothes, and so forth. And as I got closer and closer, I actually screamed. I yelled out because when I got closer, I found the detail wasn't there at all. There were just little artfully placed blobs of paint. And as I walked towards the picture, I was expecting detail that wasn't there. The artist had very cleverly suggested people and clothes and wagons and all sorts of things, and my brain had taken the suggestion.
You're familiar with a more recent technology, which is -- There, you can get a better view of the blobs. See, when you get close they're really just blobs of paint. You will have seen something like this -- this is the reverse effect. I'll just give that to you one more time.
Now, what does your brain do when it takes the suggestion? When an artful blob of paint or two, by an artist, suggests a person -- say, one of Marvin Minsky's little society of mind -- do they send little painters out to fill in all the details in your brain somewhere? I don't think so. Not a chance. But then, how on Earth is it done? Well, remember the philosopher's explanation of the lady? It's the same thing. The brain just makes you think that it's got the detail there. You think the detail's there, but it isn't there. The brain isn't actually putting the detail in your head at all. It's just making you expect the detail.
Let's just do this experiment very quickly. Is the shape on the left the same as the shape on the right, rotated? Yes. How many of you did it by rotating the one on the left in your mind's eye, to see if it matched up with the one on the right? How many of you rotated the one on the right? OK. How do you know that's what you did?
There's in fact been a very interesting debate raging for over 20 years in cognitive science -- various experiments started by Roger Shepherd, who measured the angular velocity of rotation of mental images. Yes, it's possible to do that. But the details of the process are still in significant controversy. And if you read that literature, one of the things that you really have to come to terms with is even when you're the subject in the experiment, you don't know. You don't know how you do it. You just know that you have certain beliefs. And they come in a certain order, at a certain time. And what explains the fact that that's what you think? Well, that's where you have to go backstage and ask the magician.
This is a figure that I love: Bradley, Petrie, and Dumais. You may think that I've cheated, that I've put a little whiter-than-white boundary there. How many of you see that sort of boundary, with the Necker cube floating in front of the circles? Can you see it? Well, you know, in effect, the boundary's really there, in a certain sense. Your brain is actually computing that boundary, the boundary that goes right there. But now, notice there are two ways of seeing the cube, right? It's a Necker cube. Everybody can see the two ways of seeing the cube? OK. Can you see the four ways of seeing the cube? Because there's another way of seeing it. If you're seeing it as a cube floating in front of some circles, some black circles, there's another way of seeing it. As a cube, on a black background, as seen through a piece of Swiss cheese.
Can you get it? How many of you can't get it? That'll help.
Now you can get it. These are two very different phenomena. When you see the cube one way, behind the screen, those boundaries go away. But there's still a sort of filling in, as we can tell if we look at this. We don't have any trouble seeing the cube, but where does the color change? Does your brain have to send little painters in there? The purple-painters and the green-painters fight over who's going to paint that bit behind the curtain? No. Your brain just lets it go. The brain doesn't need to fill that in. When I first started talking about the Bradley, Petrie, Dumais example that you just saw -- I'll go back to it, this one -- I said that there was no filling-in behind there. And I supposed that that was just a flat truth, always true. But Rob Van Lier has recently shown that it isn't.
Now, if you think you see some pale yellow -- I'll run this a few more times. Look in the gray areas, and see if you seem to see something sort of shadowy moving in there -- yeah, it's amazing. There's nothing there. It's no trick. ["Failure to Detect Changes in Scenes" slide] This is Ron Rensink's work, which was in some degree inspired by that suggestion right at the end of the book. Let me just pause this for a second if I can.
This is change-blindness. What you're going to see is two pictures, one of which is slightly different from the other. You see here the red roof and the gray roof, and in between them there will be a mask, which is just a blank screen, for about a quarter of a second. So you'll see the first picture, then a mask, then the second picture, then a mask. And this will just continue, and your job as the subject is to press the button when you see the change. So, show the original picture for 240 milliseconds. Blank. Show the next picture for 240 milliseconds. Blank. And keep going, until the subject presses the button, saying, "I see the change."
So now we're going to be subjects in the experiment. We're going to start easy. Some examples. No trouble there. Can everybody see? All right. Indeed, Rensink's subjects took only a little bit more than a second to press the button. Can you see that one? 2.9 seconds. How many don't see it still? What's on the roof of that barn?
It's easy. Is it a bridge or a dock? There are a few more really dramatic ones, and then I'll close. I want you to see a few that are particularly striking. This one because it's so large and yet it's pretty hard to see. Can you see it?
Dan Dennett: See the shadows going back and forth? Pretty big. So 15.5 seconds is the median time for subjects in his experiment there.
I love this one. I'll end with this one, just because it's such an obvious and important thing. How many still don't see it? How many still don't see it? How many engines on the wing of that Boeing?
Right in the middle of the picture! Thanks very much for your attention. What I wanted to show you is that scientists, using their from-the-outside, third-person methods, can tell you things about your own consciousness that you would never dream of, and that, in fact, you're not the authority on your own consciousness that you think you are. And we're really making a lot of progress on coming up with a theory of mind.
Jeff Hawkins, this morning, was describing his attempt to get theory, and a good, big theory, into the neuroscience. And he's right. This is a problem. Harvard Medical School once -- I was at a talk -- director of the lab said, "In our lab, we have a saying. If you work on one neuron, that's neuroscience. If you work on two neurons, that's psychology."
We have to have more theory, and it can come as much from the top.. His 2003 book Freedom Evolves explores the way our brains have evolved to give us -- and only us -- the kind of freedom that matters, while 2006's Breaking the Spell examines religious belief through the lens of biology. Full bio »

Where are you located? - Brisbane, Australia.
Tell us about yourself in 140 characters or less like Twitter: - I`m a scribbler, vector lover and skaterboarerer. Equal parts of these per week help keep everything functioning as it should.
Scott or Scotti? - Either one, Scott`s official & Scotti makes everyone sound like they`re my friend, and I like that.
What is your most favorite design of yours to be printed? Favourite design to be printed would have to be "Walker this way".. I still love that design, and I get nothing for interseting reactions on it when I`m wearing it..
What's your art process like, from initial sketch to finished product? - Indefinate amount of time with no decent ideas, get idea, stress over worthiness, decide to start.
Sketch a whole bunch of thumbnails to get all the elements together and see if it`s working. Once I`m relatively content, draw up sketch from the thumbs. Refine until it`s all looking ok. Scan and digitally re-draw.
Repeating step 3 throughout the whole process.
What other interests do have besides t-shirt art? - Collecting 1980's to 1990's Powell Peralta skateboards. I`m obsessed, seriously. Half the fun is the search, I feel like I`m saving some massive part of my art heritage every one I find.
What's the coolest thing to happen to you, you know, besides be featured on Teefury? - Being on Teefury is pretty cool I must say.. but...
Coolest thing recently was being invited to skate in skate-art exhibition here in Brisbane, in a replica of a wooden bowl I skated as a youngster. I`m 34 now, so I`m not as bouncy as I used to be, but being in the middle of a goverment gallery, skating with my freinds, surrounded by people and amazing boards.. was surreal and very cool to say the least.
What's you favorite internet meme/youtube viral sensation? - I`m not sure why, but I LOVE the forever alone, and Fuuuuuuu memes.. they're dumb, they`re funny, I can`t get enough of them. Sad but true.
Do you think mankind will ever emulate some of the ideas in Star Trek, and other future space oriented fiction? - I`d definately hope so, and I kind of think it`s inevitable.. StarTrek/Sci fi, all these things bring a little something into reality, even though they`re ficton. Ideas are born, and once it`s out there, it`s only a matter of time before it becomes a reality. I just wish they'd hurry up with it.
What technology do you hope to see in your lifetime? - Matter transferal devices, despite the scary implications of "The Fly". It`d solve so many world problems, and day-to-day life problems. Distance would be a thing of the past! Sure, it`d open up a world of problems too, but what a fun time that`d be!
But I don`t see that happening in my lifetime. For this lifetime, Fully immersive, vitual reality computer games.. oh yeah.

Next week Saturday on the 20 October, MTV Base will annouce the winner of their 2012 MTV Base VJ Search. Whilst I would love to be completely unbiased I am two hunderd percent behind the gorgeous, lovely, disarming and incredibly interesting @Leddi_G - Naledi Radebe, because she’s my cousin, she’s really friggin beautiful and her style is so phuck off dope that I wouldn’t mind watching her on screen. Then we can talk about the fact that she has, for as long as I have known her, been a source of entertainment and when you watch her on television, it feels right, like it was meant to be.
Okay, that’s enough of my cheesy, older cousin gushing with pride BS. Vote for this girl...
Q: What would you like to be good at?
A: I’d love to be good at singing; I really think it’s the closest thing to being a super-hero. It’s a talent that can’t be taught, that a lucky few are blessed with. That or a professional ice-skater!
Q: What makes you happy?
A: Lemon meringue from Lazari’s bakery. Watching a really good film at nouveau alone. Anything involving bacon. Cat/baby/9gag memes on the internet. Blasting gully ignorant music in my car- windows down. Itis after Sunday lunch. Finding a gem in a thrift store. A deep glass of good wine. The ciggy that comes with it. Payday. Cracking a joke that everyone laughs at and gives daps. The smell of new shoes, popcorn mixed with smarties. Rainy days spent in front of a fireplace. Holidays. Finding long-forgotten money in pockets and hiding-places. Belly-shaking chuckles with my sisters. Waking up on time for Neighbourgoods. Sleeping in the passenger seat. Assignment due date extensions. Hot wings after a heavy night out. Admitting you like someone and receiving passionate reciprocation.
Q: What makes you cross?
A: Traffic fines. Rude girls in club bathrooms. People stepping on my shoes. My sisters running late. Going halvies on the last eintjie. Continuous rants from my folks despite admitting fault. Incorrect weather predictions. Discussions about religion/politics/gender with the wrong group of people. The flashing sign of an empty fuel tank. Finding out about a sale too late. When guestlist fucks out. Black hair salons that hold back on the grease. Losing one eye contact. Worse- misplacing my specs. Stubbing my pinky toe- actually any toe. Passively racist folk. Long queues. The accessibility of SL cameras. Pretentious hipsters. The fact that I may be one. and the fact that we’ve been categorised. Any government department ie. Police station, home affairs etc. Being forced to pick sides between friends. A trifling lover.
Q: Do you own anything in your wardrobe that you absolutely can't get rid of?
A: Do I own anything?! How about everything! It is an accepted fact in my family that I am a clinical hoarder( Hi - my names Naledi and I…tl tl). I can’t get rid of anything- closet’s over-flowing, I even take up the entire closet in the spare room. I just have a hunch about comeback styles and I’ve been proven right enough times to validate my habit. Buuuut if I had to get rid of everything and save a few I’d go with my new Zara shoulder spiked blazer and Steve madden heel-less high-heels, my black bowler hat, staple white all-stars, tan trench-coat, multi-coloured winter scarf, stone-wash 80’s jeans, camel-skin neck pouch, black suede ankle boots and my Duke university college tracksuit- live in it!
Q: How do clothes and style connect to your lifestyle?
A: I obviously dress according to my mood. My general temperament is chilled, so my style is fairly laid-back, quite throw-back and dramatic in some senses. I like statement pieces as well and I’m conscious of making statements with my appearance. Dressing well or interestingly in Cape Town is easy- there are so many stores with different options and people generally look good so there is great energy and inspiration to feed from. Being fashion conscious doesn’t strike a second thought - its conversational, it speaks to and expresses my personality and the things I like. With such a rich city culture it fits naturally with the places I go to, music I listen to, food I eat. I like that it’s filtered to other parts of SA so when I travel about I see glimpses of home and tend to slip right into the flow of things. Also, its important to have a sense of occasion, so I dress according to the theme of the day, the vibe or situation I know I will be in. Regardless of the occasion - even if I clean up my act in formal attire, I maintain an element of my wild-child nature. There will always be a gold bangle peeping out or glimpse of my tattoo or my nose ring.
Q: Where is your favourite place to be?
A: I love no place more the comfort and safety of my bedroom. I spend my time thinking, watching movies, drawing, working, talking to myself, dancing around.Everything precious to me lies there. Outside I’ll go with Neighbourhood. Ashamed to admit I am a hoodlum of note - and part of a gang no less, friendly with staff, know the menu off-hand, when I don’t know where to go it’s the first place that comes to mind - basically home away from home. Further out - New York. I can think of any other place that ignites a fire in me like that city does. I’m awe-struck by it and every memory of it is rich and detailed in ways my faulty memory never usually consents to.

Hello!
I hope you are all well! I was trying to decide over the past few days how to approach this week’s blog. Sara did such a fine job all year, contributing funny, smart, witty blogs and I didn’t want to disappoint. Last night, as I was reading through some of our fan mail it hit me – Q+A! You all had some really great questions! So I decided to pick the most popular questions and answer them here for you today! Enjoy! I did.
-Tegan
1. When you and Sara are not on tour, do you hang out together?
Good question! Yes! We do hang out! But not often. Sara and I live on opposite sides of the country and so we spend a lot of time apart when we are not touring. This is not because there is a secret feud going on, or because we don’t like each other. We just live in the cities we love and those happen to be different cities. Sara loves New York and Montreal. I love Vancouver and Los Angeles. Sara likes snow and extremely hot, humid weather. I like perfect sunny days and clear air and never having to shovel snow. Sara likes crowds and museums and I love the ocean and the sound of silence around me. Sara’s favourite thing in the world is taxi cab confessional and Jersey Shore, while I prefer the ocean and the sound of silence. But when we are together – watch out!
2. When is your new record coming out?
Another fine question! We don’t really have an answer for that yet though. At the present time we are trying to finish up a DVD to be released later this year! We’re also writing and trying to take some time off to recuperate from a busy few years. I think some people imagine we get off tour and just ride our ponies and fly around in helicopters to fancy restaurants all day long. While they are correct in thinking that, we are also working a few minutes a day on new songs. So, I’d expect a record sometime next year!
3. What does Sara do all day?
See above. But also, she loves to read and draw and write poems.
4. Do you live together?
No, see question #1. Sara and I are 30 years old. We know we look younger (not a day over 13 I’m told) but we’re actually old people and we need our space. Sara and I have lived apart for 11 years. When we DID live together it was a magical time. We shared a bathroom and a hallway and when we were 18, a kitchen and living room. Our apartment was quaint and in our mother’s basement. It was small but cozy. Sara’s room was bright red and mine was a soft lavender. Sara liked to sleep in but held down a job while I was more of a “get up early and pace while worrying about the future” kind of gal. Often we would host events together for our friends and play games. One of our favourite pastimes was changing the furniture around – something we’d learned in child hood from my mother. Oh, I miss those days.
5. Do you miss touring, the fans and your road family when you are at home?
I do! I miss the fans a lot. Playing live is an experience that trumps pretty much every other element of our job. But I love to write new songs. Being creative is such a huge part of what we do. I crave time alone and time to create and that is pretty hard to come by out on the road. For the time being I am enjoying my life and my friends and family. The time we have at home is precious and it’s a privilege and we soak it up as much as we can! Soon enough our nomadic spirits will take over though and we’ll be back out there playing for you all and seeing the world!

Last night, at around 8pm, Tehkseven was savagely hacked. This wasn't an average hack, the hacker deleted all of our files and databases. Not being satisfied with the devastation he had caused, he then went on to target our development servers and finally he wiped our backup servers.
Myself, my team and all of the members we've spoken to since the incident, are utterly devastated. As most of you know, Tehkseven isn't a company, just a small group of enthusiasts who were devoted to bringing you the best platform to share your mobile creations and we truly believe we succeeded in that.
We've recieved an incredible amount of support, from our users, friends and family. Even the company that hosts Tehkseven has also been incredibly supportive, and have kindly offered to host our website for free, during our recovery.
That's right, we're already working hard to bring Tehkseven back. Please checkout and reply to our post on the Tehkseven Facebook page:. We'd love to hear from you, your support is what's driving us to rebuild the website.
We'll keep you up to date via our Facebook page for now.

I have always loved Neil Diamond: his incongruous mix of dark broodiness and schmaltz is completely magnetic. On my way to interview him, we bump into each other on a cold Manhattan street outside his hotel on the Upper East Side. He is huddled in his winter coat, his cheeks red from the cold and he looks a little wary.
He is with his third wife, Katie McNeil, whom he married earlier this year. She is also his manager, looking after him in every sense. At 42 she is almost 30 years his junior; he turns 72 next month. We all shuffle into the hotel lift to get to his suite. He is wearing dark jeans and a dark wool jumper; his wife is in a similar uniform.
“Are you going to perform open heart surgery?” he jokes in a voice of gravelly velvet.
Diamond is a man of extremes. He builds a wall of formality around himself, but there’s a cosy warmth that seeps out of him. His songs are often about loss, about solitude, and for a lot of his life he has been a loner, spending almost 50 years on the road. In many ways he has been consumed by his songs, by writing and by touring. This drive has been cited as the reason for the break-up of his first and second marriages.
Songs like Sweet Caroline, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Solitary Man and I Am, I Said, embrace both guilty pleasure and retro cool. He likes to look anonymous during the day, nothing about him hinting at a flamboyant stage show where he still out-gyrates Jagger and strikes his famous triumphant Statue of Liberty pose.
In his five-decade career, Diamond has sold over 160 million records, and he has just performed Sweet Caroline (Princess Diana’s favourite) to the Queen at the Royal Albert Hall, for a Royal Variety Performance in which he had the audience jumping out of their seats in excitement. He says he’s enjoyed looking back over his career when compiling his most recent release, The Very Best of Neil Diamond.
It’s almost as if Diamond has had two careers. He was rediscovered in 2005 by producer Rick Rubin, who made his name in hip hop and is famous for his pared-down production. The record they made together, 12 Songs, changed the course of Diamond’s life: he became cool for the first time. Its successor, Home Before Dark, was even more acclaimed. Just when people had consigned him to Vegas, he was playing to a wildly enthusiastic crowd at Glastonbury.
He orders decaffeinated coffee and tells me about his latest compilation. “This album was a wonderful stimulus for me. Each recording takes me back to the actual recording session and the time of my life when and where it was recorded. It’s special for me, like a photograph album that’s made up of sound. It takes me back to when I was younger, more naive, and even more handsome than I am now.”
His 1966 song Solitary Man is one of the most important for him. “It put me in a whole different place. It was the start of me making a living as a singer songwriter.” But more than that it was a statement of who he was. “I portrayed myself as a Solitary Man in the early part of my career because the writing process is a very solitary process, and that was my frame of mind. But as I grew up and learnt about myself, I’ve realised I like having people around. I like being with people. I like having fun. I like making people laugh..”
One senses that he feels all emotions intensely, I say. “I am, I guess, a little over the top generally. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing but it’s true. I’m a super-sensitive kind of person; I can be very emotional about things.”
Actively involved in politics, Diamond is a staunch Democrat and was involved in manning phone lines for Obama to support him in his re-election. He lives in Los Angeles, where he and Katie have two rescue dogs, Shamrock and Pokey, and a cat called Brigitte, and where Katie likes to ride horses. He once said that nowhere felt like home and that he didn’t have many friends. It’s been a lifelong struggle to fit in. That’s perhaps why when an audience first accepted him the feeling became addictive.
He says that he’s changed now and admits, “I need people”, although his best friend, Herb Cohen, has been his best friend since he was 17, and there’s no other friend who comes close. (In fact, after our interview is finished he is looking forward to meeting Cohen for lunch.)
Diamond grew up in Forties working-class Brooklyn, the son of Polish-Russian Jews. Cohen was the high school fencing champion and encouraged Diamond to be on the team. When college scouts came to check out Cohen for a scholarship for NYU, they saw Diamond and took him as well.
Diamond rode the subway every day to college where he was studying to become a doctor. Having received a guitar for his 15th birthday, he wrote songs on the train ride. “The subway was the only time I had privacy and quiet.” He took his songs to Tin Pan Alley, where all the record and music publishing companies were based. Eventually he sold a song and signed with a record company.
He married his high-school sweetheart Jayne Posner in 1963. They had two daughters but divorced in 1969. That same year he married Marcia Murphey, a production assistant, with whom he had two sons. They stayed together for 26 years. His next girlfriend, Rae Farley, he met when she worked on the Australian leg of his world tour. They were a couple for several years although, he says, “there was never any thoughts of marriage”. He was alone when he met Katie McNeil. She was part of his management company, and he says he had absolutely no interest in her at the start.
“She campaigned with her boss Mr Irving Azoff to handle my account. I guess because she loved my music so much,” he says with a slightly raised eyebrow for irony, “or she thought it was a feather in her cap to be in charge of Neil Diamond. I would like to think it was the first one.”
He looks over to his wife with a slow proprietorial smile. She looks down at her iPad self-consciously. “Anyway, we worked together for a year or so and we kind of fell in love, slowly, as I was not particularly interested in Katie, I was interested in my work. But she wove her way into my heart and I think she’s a great person. I realised that I was in love with her after a year or so. I still think she’s a great person, I’m still in love with her.”
He has said before that it’s important to have a woman who understands his work ethic and doesn’t feel threatened by it. Working together is possibly a happy solution to the guilt that has haunted him throughout his life because he couldn’t make his marriage to Marcia work. It’s been often written that she had the biggest settlement in the history of divorce – $150 million (around £100million). He has never bothered to deny it. His face registers pain when I bring it up.
.”
He gives the impression that if he had $150 million he would have given it to her. “Yes, there was guilt involved. We’d been married for 25 years and it was difficult.”
You see pain and loss in his eyes with their dark sparkle. He does feel things intensely – but he’s capable of shifting into lightness seemingly without effort. “By the way, I don’t want a fourth wife. I have the best woman in the world and I’m taking good care of our relationship. I’m making sure it’s going to last forever.”
The Very Best of Neil Diamond is out now. The Royal Variety Performance is on ITV1 on Monday 3 December

However, a milk chocolate version could soon appear on shelves to cater for Britain’s increasingly sweet tooth.
McVitie’s, which makes 1.19bn Jaffa Cakes at its Stockport factory every year, said it has been working on a possible milk chocolate alternative.
Philippa Tilley, the brand manager, said: “We’ve never done a milk chocolate Jaffa Cake. The UK thinks of itself as a milk-chocolate loving nation. And most people are a bit surprised and confused we don’t do a milk chocolate one.”
The company has previously experimented with different fillings, but a blackcurrant-filled and a strawberry-filled version only lasted a couple of years.
"The thing is, Jaffa is so entrenched as an orange product,” she explained.
But a milk chocolate one is likely to be a bigger hit, with British consumers who traditionally favour the sweeter confectionery.
According to Mintel, the market research firm, milk chocolate remains the most popular type of the chocolate in the UK, reaching a new peak of 83pc of all consumers eating it in 2011. Dark chocolate trails some way behind, eaten by just 21pc of adults.
The company has enjoyed some success with experimenting with Jaffa Cake’s packaging. Last Christmas it introduced “A yard of Jaffa Cakes” – a long tube with 60 of the biscuits inside. It sold over 1.5m of these packets, the equivalent of 852 miles.
However, Brian Small, the manufacturing manager at the Stockport factory, cautioned that any milk chocolate version might be some time off.
“It would require significant investment. You need extra kit. You can’t just put milk chocolate in a dark chocolate tank.”
Various industry statistics suggest that Britain's fabled sweet tooth is becoming ever sweeter, with sales of confectionery last year increasing by 5pc.
A sweeter, milk chocolate Jaffa Cake would help McVitie's meet the challenge of a whole range of new super-sweet biscuits which have hit the market in the last couple of years, including Cadbury's biscuit versions of Crunchie, Turkish Delight and Caramel, which were launched two years ago. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/9249305/Jaffa-Cakes-mulling-milk-chocolate-version.html | 2013-05-18T10:43:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

However, South Africa's criminal prosecution agency hit back at speculation that he bail decision had damaged its case against Mr Pistorius.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Medupe Simasiku said: "We are confident of the case which we have been handling."
Mr Simasiku went on: "Being a bail application, it [the court's decision] doesn't mean an acquittal. We still have a case to deal with, and we respect the ruling of the court so far.
"We still believe we have the evidence to convict Oscar Pistorius, but I cannot give details regarding what it is."
The prosecution has been stung by strong criticism for the way the police handled the initial investigation.
But Mr Simasiku said: "That criticism doesn't mean we should lose hope." | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/oscar-pistorius/9889602/Oscar-Pistorius-begins-his-new-life-on-bail.html | 2013-05-18T10:53:11 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The 17-year-old Canadian singer, who earlier this week confirmed he would perform on The X-Factor this weekend, has yet to address the milestone.
His last tweet promoted his new music video with Mariah Carey, whose account @MariahCarey, has a paltry 5,250,150 followers.
@justinbieber: #1DAY until
the WORLD PREMIERE of my video with @MariahCarey of "All I Want For
Christmas Is You" on the Rockefeller Tree Lighting on NBC!
As of 2.45pm GMT, his account, had 15,001,967 followers but his numbers were increasing minute-by-minute.
He still has some way to go to catch Lady Gaga, whose account @ladygaga has close to 16,500,000 followers.
Out of Twitter's top 10 followers, there are nine US celebrities. Bieber's girlfriend, Selena Gomez, @selenagomez, is at no. 10, with 8,661,064 followers.
President Barack Obama, @BarackObama, is the only non-celebrity to feature. His 11,371,528 followers put him at no. 6 in the list.
Bieber's Twitter honour comes a day after he was named the most searched person this year on internet search engine Bing, beating out reality star Kim Kardashian.
His popularity has not been dented by a potentially embarrassing kiss-and-tell.
Earlier this month, Mariah Yeater, a 20-year-old from California, claimed Bieber was the father of her baby boy. She launched a paternity suit against him but subsequently dropped it. He has taken the test to prove he is not the father. | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/8925996/Justin-Bieber-passes-15-million-Twitter-followers.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:57 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
New Delhi, Jan. 21: Budget carrier SpiceJet today reported a net profit of Rs 102 crore for the third quarter ended December 31, 2012 against a net loss of Rs 39.26 crore in the same period.
The Kalanithi Maran-promoted airline attributed the financial turnaround to more international flights, which gave better yields per seat at a relatively lower cost of fuel bought abroad. Higher ticket prices also led to a rise in passenger yields.
“It is a significant achievement. The higher components of international flights and a 29 per cent increase in passenger yields have tremendously helped the airline,” said Neil Mills, chief executive officer of SpiceJet.
The airline’s domestic market share in December 2012 grew to 19.20 per cent from 16.80 per cent a year ago.
Revenues increased 37 per cent to Rs 1, 603 crore from Rs 1, 173 crore in the corresponding quarter of 2011-12.
According to aviation analysts, SpiceJet’s quarterly result has raised its chances of attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). The airline is reportedly in talks with a few investors.
Company officials said fuel cost as a proportion of the total revenue fell to 45 per cent in the current quarter against 50 per cent in the year-ago quarter.
SpiceJet is aggressively expanding its domestic and international network. At present, it has a fleet of about 51 aircraft, including 15 Q400 NextGen turboprop made by Bombardier.
Last November, SpiceJet won flying rights to international destinations such as Al Najaf from Lucknow and Varanasi, and Macau and Ho Chi Minh City from New Delhi.
Shares of the airline today surged nearly 8 per cent in intra-day trade before ending at Rs 46.15, up 5.01 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
HDFC show
Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) today reported a 16 per cent jump in standalone net profit for the third quarter in line with analyst estimates. Net profit rose to Rs 1,140.10 crore from Rs 981.25 crore in the same period last year.
Growth in profit came on the back of a robust jump in its advances. As on December 31, 2012, the loan book stood at Rs 1,60,941 crore against Rs 1,32,208 crore on December 31, 2011.
According to HDFC, the spread on loans over the cost of borrowings for the nine-month period stood at 2.28 per cent. Net interest margin during the nine-month period was 4.1 per cent.
Gross non-performing loans as on December 31 amounted to Rs 1,224 crore. | http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130122/jsp/business/story_16470704.jsp | 2013-05-18T11:03:48 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Over in his motor court room, Paul is rolling what appears to be a spliff of some of that real sticky-icky when a shadow passes by his window, freaking him out a little bit. Paranoid, Paul walks over to the door to his room, and after waiting, listening, for a few seconds, the music swells creepily and he yanks the door open and it's...Rita. Just Rita. They both breathe heavily from startling one another, and laugh a little bit. "We need to talk," Rita initiates. He tells her to come into his room, but she stays outside. "No, I'm good right here." He keeps trying to get her to come in, but even after the enticing "six pack chillin' in the fridge," she stands her ground. "No, no more. No more surprise visits to the house, no more intimidating my friends, and especially no more Disney dad. You lost your right to be a father when you beat your children's mother. You want to get to know Astor and Cody, you're going to have to work for that privilege." Paul wants to say something, but Rita cuts him off. "Divorce papers. Sign them now, and I'll agree to supervised visits, twice a week." Damn, Rita. You're turning into a bona fide ballfest! Paul: "Is this some kind of joke, Rita? You really think you can make me back down?" "No, I don't, but what else am I going to do, Paul?" She goes on to explain that she has the power to make sure he never sees his kids again unless he complies with her every request. He changes his tone instantly, saying "I love the new you! My ass is yours to kick." Saying he's a "new man," he signs the papers to prove it to her. She looks ecstatic.
Everyone at the station is gathered around the interrogation room video feed, where LaGuerta is about to question Perry. Dexter comes in and looks at the screen and then at Angel and Masuka: "You got him." Then, noticing the other feed with Doakes and Jeremy Downs, he VOs, "Both of them." When Dexter asks where Perry's lawyer is, Angel tells him he waived his right to an attorney. Dexter VOs some more: "My two...colleagues, technically speaking. Thankfully one of them's a fraud." After hearing Perry say "The doer is merely a fiction that's added to the deed. The deed is everything," Dexter finishes, "At least I hope he's a fraud."
Tony Tucci is holding a champagne glass in his new fake hand, which he toasts to as someone pops a new bottle. Rudy, the prosthesis guy, speechifies, "Some say bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid. But, I've worked with a lot of amputees, and I gotta say, I don't think Tony knew he was afraid. Here's to one crazy bastard!" Everyone lifts their glasses and drinks, and Tucci says, "Kiss my atrophied ass! And, now for the main event!" "Medical marijuana?" Deb jokes, unfunnily. "You wish," says Tucci. With Rudy's help, they both pull back the blanket to reveal Tucci's new leg, and everyone marvels and cheers. He stands up, a bit wobbly at first, but beaming, especially at his new hooker girlfriend, Shanda, who he asks for a dance. Deb and Rudy step aside, and she asks him, "So, you made that hand and foot?" He nods. "You did a good thing," she tells him. "Tony lost a piece of himself, and I helped him find it," Rudy says. "I mean, how often in life do you get to make someone whole?" "I wouldn't know," says Deb. They continue to small talk about how Rudy used to study the human form at university. He asks, "Have you had dinner yet?" "I'd love to." Well, as long as you don't make yourself tooavailable, there, sweetheart. Doakes comes in with a six-pack of Pacifico beer, to "show his support." "Bad timing?" Rudy tells him no, and offers him some champagne. | http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/dexter/circle-of-friends.php?page=14 | 2013-05-18T10:16:23 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

1 Bedtime
The little girl climbed into bed, her father reassured her that he'd checked everywhere. She nodded, it wasn't his fault.
Everyone knows what a spider sounds like when it moves, the muted scuttle of many hairy legs across a wooden floorboard or behind an ancient bookcase, and yet, it never occurs to them to wonder how they know this.
House spiders are of course too small to make any noise audible to the human ear. These weren't house spiders, they weren't even really spiders.
She pulled the covers over her head as he turned out the light, the scurrying began.
2 POLITICS
"Whose side are you on?" They always say "We're with the People" but I've never seen them in our streets or in our factories.
They say "Stop with the nonsense, let's talk of what really matters" but they never do.
They say "We must all do sacrifices" right before going to Seichelles.
They say "Let's think of our sons and daughters, and one of their sons becomes minister, another gets a bat-house, still we get nothing.
The only thing I believe is that they're them , but we're just us , working are way on, knowing they'll never be part of US. | http://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=202989 | 2013-05-18T11:03:44 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Hamish Anderson - Daily Telegraph Magazine 16/06/2012Hamish Anderson - Daily Telegraph Magazine 16/06/2012
Of the 2011 vintage, Hamish Anderson said: “This is a lovely example of Loire Sauvignon: grassy, delicate and moreish, it also has the necessary lift and zest.”
Jane MacQuitty - The Times 21/07/2012Jane MacQuitty - The Times 21/07/2012
Of the 2011 vintage, Jane MacQuitty said: "You may not like the name, but Tesco's upper-echelon, own label selection is improving each year and summer 2012 brought with it a clutch of terrific Finest* European arrivals, including this zingy sauvignon. With all the grass, gooseberry and greengage fruit that any sauvignon fan could ask for, Ackerman's offering is less aggressive than many a tart Loire sauvignon and as such, it is en-route to a gentler Bordeaux sauvignon style."
Jamie Goode - S Magazine (Sunday Express) 29/07/2012Jamie Goode - S Magazine (Sunday Express) 29/07/2012
Of the 2011 vintage, Jamie Goode said: "The Loire is the original home of Sauvignon Blanc, but recently it's been eclipsed by zippy bottles from New Zealand. Here France fights back with a grassy, fresh white, brimming with lush passionfruit and pear.".
Jean-Paul Malinge
At the heart of the Loire valley, around the city of Tours and close to the Châteaux de la Loire. Soils are predominately Sand, Clay and Limestone. Annual production in the area is approx 26 million bottles.

I found this wine to be nothing outstanding, but easy and reliable drinking at a good price. It would be great on a warm summer's day to sit sipping in the gardenon nits own or with food. A good aperitif wine.

This is a good example of a French Sauvignon Blanc at a very reasonable price. It is not too acidic as Muscadet can be and of course not as expensive as Pouilly Fume or Sancerre. Execellent value !

For all of you who think Cloudy Bay is the only good Sauvignon Blanc, you should give this Touraine a try. It's a fraction of the price and is very comparable. No visitor to your humble abode is going to turn this down, unless they're a Liebfraumilch type....

Tesla CEO: Model S will support third-party apps
Good news, bad news...
Hope the apps will be well fenced, limited in scope, and undergo heavy testing, Tesla's approval and controlled distribution. Having dealt with buggy third-party code... brrrr... scary... frozen systems, looping apps... "blue screen of death" gets a really scary meaning.
Don't have to install them. :)
Yeah, but others will :-P
Anyway it will be great to have a variety of good apps and customize Model S. I wouldn't mind if it reads me the news, or a book on long trips.
Rumor has it that Tesla's "built-in tablet" is based on RIM's PlayBook. In this case, all I can say is: Enjoy!
Given the investment that Google has in Tesla, I had always assumed that Tesla would choose some Android/ChromeOS-based solution (by the time the Model S becomes available, Android and ChromeOS will most probably have merged, anyway). Does anyone have any insights on which platform they will actually use and why? Where is the source that says that they will use the PlayBook OS? Is it just the Tegra 2 hardware?
As a mobile developer and a petrolhead (for now) I've always been looking for ways to combine both worlds (ranging from things like OpenLR to Windows Embedded Automotive 7 Solutions (formerly Microsoft Auto) and many things in between.
A couple of months ago (around CES) I've done a little bit of research into what platform was available to Tesla for them to use in this space and armed with the knowledge that they'd be using a Tegra 2 chip I've started looking for a platform that would already have such support and I've come to the conclusion that this platform is most probably QNX CAR.
Here's my reasoning to this conclusion:
- An impressive ecosystem ranging from car manufacturers to software and middleware providers that covers a very wide range of features (Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz among others).
- Support for nVIDIA's Tegra2 platform with evidence dating back to 2010Q1 in Foundry27 (the community portal for QNX software developers)
- QNX has been acquired by RIM around the same time and sure enough months later a tablet is announced.
- LTE Connected Car is almost an "out-of-the box" feature (video) and if you look at some screenshots there's a lot of visual queues that very closely resemble what we've seen on the 17" legendary by now dash mounted touch screen down to the presumably default color scheme of the platform.
So while I'm not expecting to see just a bigger Blackberry Playbook on the dash there's a lot of similarities bewteen the two platforms it would yield to some interesting synergies. In short if there's a company that has resources in both domains RIM is one very viable option today as far as I'm concerned.
Having discussed the matter in the past with Microsoft in the past (back at TechEd 2009) the idea behind platforms such as QNX CAR and Microsoft Auto is not to directly enable 3rd party developers to run their apps directly on the device (the car that is), but rather allow integration between the two (the 3rd pary app and the car) via a well defined API (such as Ford's AppLink). The reason behind this restriction if fairly obvious, but it comes down to who's the owner of the platform and the answer is the car manufacturer. As such I don't see Fiat, Ford, etc providing software support to end users. Legal obligations also come into play with car manufacturers having to comply to regulations that require a minimum or distrations for the driver. Finally with release cycles being very different between the car's platform and apps there's no reason you'd want apps running directly on your car's hardware (can you imagine having to worry about app downloads while on the road?).
Ultimately what it comes down to is that you'd want to consume services locally or in the cloud while driving and editing google docs or playing Angry Birds on the go, while possible is not exactly ideal or permitted for that matter. So it's up to the platform provider (Tesla in our case) to validate what's feasible and/or possible on their platform.
So all this to say that it's only good news as far as I'm concerned, but it could be just me being an optimist...
Vas.
Be careful what you wish for:
Opening up to "apps" is asking for it.

I post this with the expectation that Tesla staff read this.
I live in North Carolina. I understand there is a plan to open a service center in Raleigh in March 2013. The 2013 Raleigh Car Show at the state fairgrounds takes place in February. I do not see Tesla listed as a car brand represented there. Why?
It seems to be an ideal time to have an X, S, and roadster seen and sat in by the public.
Tesla S sighting...
A grey Model S in Philadelphia, near Red Lion and The Blvd.
Tesla doesn't need to advertise yet. Their focus is where it needs to be: building cars and delivering them.
V.;
Yeah, honestly I get the impression they're skeered of the wave that would wash over them if they did dare to advertise! At least they need to be "ready" to handle it (production ramp, high volume QC, delivery capacity and tracking, etc., etc.).

We have tweeted and you have spoken. Since Texas Monthly released the new 2013 Top 50 BBQ list two days ago via Twitter, we have gotten a mountain of feedback. A dedicated group of passionate barbecue eaters was assembled to create this list, so we’re happy to see that passion matched by the readers.
There’s been a stream of reactions on social media and more than two hundred comments on the story, and following all of this feedback is turning into a full time job (good thing Texas Monthly just hired that barbecue editor).
Here are some of the common questions/comments/barbecusations we’ve received, with our brief explanations that won’t possibly quiet all of the fervent smoked meat fans out there.
Q: “Is no Smittys an error!?! I understand not top 5 any longer, but no longer top 50????” – Jacob Reach
Smitty’s did not make the 2013 Top 50 list because their brisket ranged from barely passable to awful on three visits, which were all done at different times of the day and different days of the week. The most weight for every score was given to brisket, and when a knife is required to cut it then it’s hard to recommend a visit to our readers.
Q: “No Micklethwait's in Austin? Injustice!!!” – Mike McKinnon
This was our hardest decision. During our visit to the trailer it was just getting started. The barbecue was great, but only lasted a few hours with the pit holding only two briskets per day. It felt like more of a pop-up which seemed to be confirmed when they shut down for the entire week after our visit. This was right at the point where the list was being finalized, and making sure we had a viable business on the list that would be open when it was finally printed was the main concern. I’d happily be a regular at Micklethwait based on their quality of meat, and I’m happy they now have consistent hours and supply.
Q: “As always, the VERY best don't even make this list. Most real Texans know of some small place that hardly anyone ever heard of that is better than any of these more well publicized places. I won't get into names, etc. But all real Texans know what I am talking about.” – Michael Hardie
These”VERY best” places are so under the radar that this commenter couldn’t provide a single example. We’ll try to find them next time.
Q: “Hmm. NO Salt Lick?! #listfail” – Patrick Trotter
Hmm. They weren’t on the previous list in 2008. The barbecue certainly isn’t bad at the Salt Lick, but it hasn’t gotten any better since 2008 either.
Q: “Really???...Hays Co. Bar-B-Que in San Marcos?? I live in San Marcos and don't even eat there...” – Debbie R.
Maybe you should try it.
Q: “What! No Dickey's BBQ?”
We assume this is satire.
Q: “Sorry, Lockhart Barbeque in Dallas is not in the top 100!!! When you enter the place a sign says "No sauce, no forks, no kiddin". Ya gotta have a great sauce to be in the top 200!” – Walker Bateman
It’s called Lockhart Smokehouse, they do serve sauce, and your statement is false.
Q: “Yes, that's only 4. I'm told @TMBBQ had planned to announce five, but ran out early…” - @EatsBeat
There wasn’t a predetermined number of top tier barbecue joints. If two or seven had elevated themselves above the rest, then there would have been a Top 2 or Top 7.
Q: “Why isn’t La Barbecue or John Mueller Meat Co. in the Top 4?” – various commenters
To be considered for the top tier a joint needed to be continuously operating for at least a year. This list lasts a long time, and we wanted to be sure that all of the top tier would still be around for the next list.
Others asked about various old favorites like New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, Dozier’s, Stubb’s, Cooper’s in Mason, and Baby J’s. The simple answer is that we visited them all, and they just weren’t that good this time around.
The full issue will be arriving in mailboxes today and will be on newsstands May 23. We can’t wait to field the continuing barrage of questions and comments. | http://www.texasmonthly.com/eat-my-words?m=201211 | 2013-05-18T10:24:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
You can’t go home and tell your friends that you came to Central Texas and never ate any barbecue. It would be like going to SXSW and not listening to any music. But there are so many briskets and so little time! How do you sort it all out? No worries, here is our opinionated guide to the best of the best.

When I first encountered this, I just memorized the genitive form of the word as if it were a completely different word:
animus, -î: spirit, soul, mind
animî, -ôrum: high spirits, pride, courage
Why is the genitive form presented with a different meaning from the nominative (this happens several times throughout the book...)? | http://www.textkit.com/greek-latin-forum/viewtopic.php?p=66363 | 2013-05-18T10:20:41 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Testifying on an Issue in Austin
All committee business must be conducted in open meetings. Although House rules do not require a committee to hear public testimony on a bill referred to it, committees almost always solicit testimony on bills of outstanding importance. Senate rules require a public hearing before a committee may report out a bill.
Before the Hearing You Should
- Find out when and where your bill will be heard.
- Plan your testimony. It is customary to have written copies of your comments available to distribute to members of the committee.
At the Hearing You Should
- Be present at the start of the hearing. All persons present usually get a chance to speak, but sometimes this is not possible. If you do not get a chance to testify, your position on the bill will be entered into the record, and you can always submit a written copy of your testimony.
- Sign the testimony card (usually on a table at the rear of the hearing room). Give the bill number, whether you favor or oppose the bill, and your name. You may turn the card into a staffer at the front of the hearing room at any time (even during testimony).
- Wait your turn. The chair announces the beginning of the hearing on a particular bill. The clerk will read the bill. The first speaker is usually the bill’s sponsor. The chair then asks for testimony, which is ordered according to her/his discretion.
- Plan on following the custom (although it is not absolutely necessary) of beginning your remarks by addressing the chair and committee members, giving your name and address and why you are there. For example: "Mr. or Madam Chair, and members of the committee, my name is Jane Q. Public from Austin."
- Be brief and to the point: try to keep you comments under 5 minutes. Most hearings are somewhat informal, so a conversational tone is best.
- Expect some questions and comments from committee members.
Logistics
In most hearing rooms, the committee members sit behind a desk on an elevated platform that faces a desk with a microphone reserved for public testimony. The public may view the hearing and come and go as they please. You can track the committee process online at the Texas House and Senate Web pages.
Testifying at the State Board of Education (SBOE)
The most powerful way to advocate for accurate textbooks is to testify at one of the public hearings generally held in July and September of adoption years. The hearings are the primary venue for the news media to witness the levels of grassroots and expert support or opposition to a particular measure.
Before the Hearing You Should
- Register to testify. Go to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) Web site to view the sign-up form. E-mail or fax the form to TEA.
- Read the relevant sections of the proposed books. SBOE members regularly ask witnesses if they have read a textbook. You can check out a textbook at any of the TEA Regional Service Centers. To find the Regional Service Center nearest you, please visit the TEA website.
At the Hearing You Should
- Wait your turn. There will be an ordered list of those signed up for public testimony available at the door. A TEA staff member will announce the next speaker.
- Prepare a written copy of your statement and bring 25 copies. When you are called to the podium to testify, a TEA staffer will take your copies and distribute them to the Board and to the press table.
- Be succinct. The Board observes a strict three minute time limit for each testimony. A warning bell will ring two minutes into your testimony. Keep talking until the three minute bell rings, complete your thought and thank the Board.
- Be prepared for follow-up questions from individual board members.
Logistics
The SBOE holds public textbook hearings in Room 1-104 of the William B. Travis Building, which is located just north of the Capitol at 1701 North Congress Avenue in Austin. There is ample public parking across the street at the Bob Bullock Texas History Museum.
In the hearing room, the 15 SBOE members sit facing each other with a podium off to the side for public testimony. The public may view the hearing and come and go as they please. | http://www.tfn.org/site/PageServer?pagename=involved_activist_tools_testify | 2013-05-18T10:41:26 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
1) What topics do your clients cover in their presentations?
Our speakers critique their presentations to fit the individual client's needs. A conference report is sent out to each client at the time of booking. This report allows the client to give pertinent information about their upcoming event - such as type of event, theme being used and what they would like this presentation to accomplish for this particular event.
2) Will I be able to talk to the guest speaker prior to my event?
Yes! Once we have the conference report returned to us, we will set up a conference call between you and your guest speaker to review all details - objectives and logistical information also.
3) Since my guest speaker is a celebrity in the sports world, can I obtain athletic merchandise to have at the event for autographs and gifts to attendees?
Yes, we serve as an authorized dealer for manufacturers such as Wilson Sporting Goods and Riddell. These items will be sold at a discount rate to you the customer and can be autographed on-site by your guest speaker. Items can be given to the attendees as a memento of the event, used as table centerpieces or non-profit groups can auction these items to raise money for a worthy cause.
4) Are your athletes listed on your site available for appearances only?
Yes they are. We are happy to help you draw attention to your event or product by sending in one of our athletes to do meet-n-greet session, sign autographs or just meet your clients.
5) Are your athletes available for endorsement deals?
Yes. Feel free to call our office and pitch your idea to our staff. We would be happy to entertain endorsement opportunities for the individuals that we represent. We have worked with many companies over the years to provide quality spoke people for great companies around the US.
6) What does the client's fee cover?
This fee includes the presentation you have requested. Air travel, ground transportation and hotel needs are additional and will be noted at the time you request a quoted fee for this client. All expenses will be outlined to you upfront and will be noted on your contract.
7) When should I book my speaker or talent?
In order to prepare for your event and make sure all details are covered, it is best to contact us as soon as you know about the upcoming event. We can, however, help you secure a guest speaker with very little notice - sometimes with less than a week before your event date.
8) I have never used a speaker before and have no idea who to book, can you help me?
Our staff is available to guide you through this process by first determining the best fit for your needs, then your budget and the availability of our clients. Typically, we can offer you several names of clients that would be available to you - showing you their bio, fees and areas of expertise.
9) When will my guest speaker arrive?
Typically our clients will arrive the evening before your selected event date. This may change if flights are not available, etc., but we typically like to make sure they are on-site and that they have checked in with you so you feel confident that things are going smoothly.
10) If I want to hire a client for multiple appearances, will a discount be given?
Yes, most definitely. We would be happy to work with you and arrange for our client to work with you on several events. Discounts will be given for multiple events. | http://www.tgasports.com/main.php?id=faq | 2013-05-18T10:41:49 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

warrior princess
4.27.2010
Zac Posen x Target dress. Frye boots.
Playing with the snaps was initially my favorite thing about this dress until I realized that it moreover contributes to my goal of looking like a warrior princess. And usually Target quality is a hit-or-miss for me but this looked promising in the lookbook and fitted surprisingly well once on. The slightly flared hemline is itching to be layered with heavy jackets but will still be worn lovingly through the summer heat. I also found a lonely chambray dress hanging on the rack that I didn't even realize was a part of the collection and took it home with me as well. Can't wait to force my new purchases to befriend all the dusty pinks and nudes in my closet.

cute! who took your pictures! very nice! us girlies are heading over to la/oc this weekend =)
Great dress and really nice pictures! You look beautiful
Where did you find wheat fields in southern california?!!?
stop by my blogs!
"Holy Moly!", "Shezzam!", "Holy Heaven!" "So, So, Smokin' Hott!" (hey, the left corner of the field in middle teaser/pic seems "almost ablaze!" :)
"WOW!' Raych; mere words seem somewhat lacking, Dear!" :)
Ya know, while appreciating the "grand beauty" of the teaser pic --- and "SERIOUSLY!!!"(lol), it was mos' def' quite the teaser, as i could hardly await in anticipation "w/bated breath" the remainder of your "visual feast!" --- pondering, wondering what/how you might title the post; "honest-to-god," i truly first came up with "warrior-princess" & immediately, thereafter, "goddess-lover." Hey, as the sayin' goes: "great minds..." :)
"Warrior-Princess," of course, noting the "bold-fierce dynamic" simultaneously with your "regal/royal nature & bearing." :)
And speaking of nature, your ingeniously choosing of such wondrous & lovely nature settings & backdrops, Raych --- to seemingly "enfold & embrace you," in your own "gorgeous lovliness," Sweetheart; well, it jus' creates this most "romantically, dreamy air!" Thus, the suggestion of, invoking of, "divine goddess/lover", babe! :)
I mean, even down to details of your "dreamy nails" "dramatically captivating," Raych; your presentation is one of sheer impeccable "artistic & beatific vision!" :)
And all-together, the combined effect/impact of this so exquisitely beautiful pictorial is, indeed, suggestive of "gloriously, heaven-on-earth!" "Ahhh!', 'Oh Wow!', Raych, to so fortunately be in that fabulous field frolicking so ...! Hey, a guy can most wonderfully dream, right?!" :)
Namaste,
XoXo
It's totally great
i love this dress!!!
love
xoxo
follow me on
wow I love your dress (!) - And the feeling in your pictures is always so beautiful!
every pic looks fabulous!! btw how do u style ur hair??
I WANT THAT DRESS SO BAD!!! But I can't spend $70 on it :(
I might get the tank top with Zac written on it though
Cant believe the collection came out early. Ugh..there is absolutely no point in me trying now, only to be disappointed by the empty racks. The rivets are beautiful on the dress. Thought Libertine's quality was not so good but Zac Posen really worked it!
Hey there,
I posted a link to this on my blog .... along with my quest for that dress ...
I absolutely love the second-to-last photo! The dress fits you perfectly :)
Live Love LA
you look fly as hell!
xx
MAMA P.
loove your dress. I got a Zac Posen for Target dress as well! I'm excited to wear it <3
Gorgeous!
Wow, you look absolutely GORGEOUS in these!
target should really used these photos to advertise this dress. You absolutely killed this dress!! i am in awe =)
myblissisthisway
that dress looks great on you!!!
xo
gorgeous. i can't wait to get my hands on that dress.
This dress is really pretty :] I actually saw it online when it first came out and lusted over this. [saddly, not in the target store in Hawaii :( *sighs*].
It looks absolutely stunning on you.
<3 Krissy
the 4th picture from the top is absolutely stunning. that dress looks fantastic on you. and i'm slightly envious of the fact that you have a field like that one...
These pictures are stunning! I love them. And the dress is lovely :)
What an awesome dress! The metal work on it is very cool. I knew that Zac Posen was doing a line for Target, I will definitely have to check it out!
Ahhhh, I love that first and third shot. Makes me want to cry with... goodness!
BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!!! They look so great--the color scheme and everything.
Did the Zac Posen x Target collection just come out? I can't keep up--better head over to Target soon.

the dress is really nice and original!!! the photos are superb
Very very nice!! This looks like an editorial. :] Love the dress and you look sooo pretty!
Those photos and that dress are beautiful.
what the.... i didn't even know..... totally missed the release. this dress is amazing, truly. looks great on you.
This dress was made for your body, you're totally owning it!
Gorgeous! I especially love the 6th picture!
That dress is all sorts of gorgeous <3 Love your blog!
With the title and images I kinda of pictured you as this...
hehe! Anime movie - Princess Mononoke! You're always such a cutie.
KeepItFvncy,
M.E.
sexy. love your hair.
...following up on above, "SERIOUSLY!!!", Raych you ought to most definitely send this photoshoot to Zac Posen & Co., as he'd have to be legally blind not to be absolutely amazed & impressed the way you're stylin' his creation, babe! It's not really so much a matter of your "ownin it;" you, my Dear, "alchemically transform it" into something seemingly "other-worldly beautiful!" :)
And it's really hard to imagine any other woman on this here planet, babe, able to "breathe so much life & spirit" into a garment as you do with this here dress! Your very spirit seems to jus' "magically interwine" with its spirit, and thusly, you're not merely wearing it --- the two of you are like, so "esoterically connected," in a sense "spiritually dancing & makin' love," Sweetheart! :)
Honestly, there's this "so exquisite, ethereal beauty" throughout, bordering on the sublime, Sweetheart! And Zac would have to be an "aesthetically blind" fool, not to be somehow "moved & wowed by it!" :)
So who knows, if he doesn't offer you an outright modeling contract, i wouldn't be surprised at all if he did; then, at the very least, Raych, he'd likely truly want/desire you to "breathe such life & beauty" into even more of his creations in some kinda collaborative venture! Hey, i know i absolutely, certainly would! You jus' never know ... :)
Namaste,
XoXo
Wow, Really really nice photos! Love them, your dress is awsome, as always, thans for sharing.
xx
this is incredible, where did you find this in orange county without having to hop a chain-link fence you would likely catch this killer dress on?
unlessssss..... is it huntington? the marsh has a non-marshy spot?!? no. way.
how are you mija? I miss my righteous blogger amigas :P
I checked out the Zac Pozen for target collection and loved that dress, i got the tye dye one instead though but the red jacket was to die for, great look!
xoxo

About espartz
CEO
@emersonspartz | Wiki
Emerson is a spirited optimist who once unsuccessfully tried to eliminate the word "boring" from his vocabulary. At age 14, he wore a fanny pack for three weeks on a school trip because "it fit all his travel accessories." His fiancee would eventually work out his kinks.
At the age of 12, he began homeschooling. To cope with the soul-crushing boredom, he created MuggleNet, which is the world's #1 Harry Potter site. Emerson is a New York Times Bestselling author and generally lucky guy. In 2006, JK Rowling extended an invitation to him to interview her in her house in Scotland. Yes, she is awesome. So awesome that she gave him this as a gift. His proudest moment was when Jimmy Kimmel mocked him on national TV. He took solace in the fact that Geraldo still likes him. He graduated in 2009 from Notre Dame with a degree in management consulting.

ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/07/12 -- of Fluorspar ore grading 33.7% and inferred resource of 3.02 million tons of Fluorspar ore grading 33% -- A total indicated and inferred resource of 9.64 million tons of ore or 3.22 million tons of contained fluorspar (CAF2) -- Based on the current estimated price for fluorspar, the gross in situ value of the Delgerkhan deposit is USD 1.06 billion -- a 10% grade cutoff is applied -- Resource partially open at depth -- Substantial exploration potential along strike of the deposit -- All resources reported are entirely contained within the company's 100% held mining lease
Between September and November 2011, Berkh Uul JSC engaged the professional management services of CBM LLC, which exclusively provides consulting services to Berkh Uul JSC's controlling shareholder Firebird and its group of companies, to assist in the design and implementation of an1800 meter drilling program over the Delgerkhaan mining license under the guidance of international resource consultancy firm Micromine.
The drilling program focused on confirming historic joint Mongolian and Russian drilling to to bring the resource into a NI 43-101 compliant resource format. In addition, the drilling targeted deeper unexplored veining to extend the down dip depth of the deposit. 3D wireframe modelling was undertaken, taking the historic mining into account.
Berkh Uul JSC produced fluorspar until 2008 when operations were shut down. The company is moving onto the prefeasibility stage of the project, which it hopes to complete in the first quarter of 2013. Berkh Uul JSC is committed to reopening Delgerkhan, historically one of the largest producing fluorspar mines in Mongolia.

Sam Bradford- Am I Taking Crazy Pills?
Posted by Frazier
It seems destined that Sam Bradford is going to be the top pick in next weeks NFL draft. This is how David Carr happens, or Tim Couch, or Alex Smith. These are quarterbacks taken #1 because the team with the pick felt like their hands were tied.
People realize that Bradford only played college football for 2 years, right?
People understand that he never won a Bowl game? That he only beat Texas his FRESHMAN year? That his worst game in the last two years was the only one that truly mattered (title game against Florida). That he played in a conference where nobody played defense? Here are the pertinent numbers for 2008 (the one year where he did anything).
Sam Bradford: 68% passing, 4720 yards, 50 TD, 8 INT
Chase Daniel: 73% passing, 4335 yards, 39 TD, 18 INT
Graham Harrell: 71% passing, 5111 yards, 45 TD, 9 INT
Todd Reesing: 66% passing, 3888 yards, 32 TD, 13 INT
Joe Ganz: 68% passing, 3568 yards, 25 TD, 11 INT
Zac Robinson: 65% passing, 3064 yards, 25 TD, 10 INT (562 yards rushing, 8 TD)
Colt McCoy: 77% passing, 3859 yards, 34 TD, 8 INT (561 yards rushing, 11 TD)
All these quarterbacks were in the SAME CONFERENCE!
Then Bradford played a very good Florida D, had his worst game of the year, and lost. The only other team to play any defense that year was Texas, and Bradford lost to them as well. Don't say I didn't warn you, St. Louis. | http://www.the323.blogspot.com/ | 2013-05-18T10:41:26 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Vauxhall Signum Elite 3.0 CDTI 24v
October 2005
Classy Signum behaves in a more grown up manner than its Vectra cousin

Likes
- Generous levels of cabin space make the Signum a smart family car alternative
- Improvements make it much better to drive than the old car
- Refined and powerful diesel engines should prove attractive
- Could be a cut-price alternative to traditional corporate transport
Gripes
- Build quality not on a par with the likes of BMW and Audi
- Five-door executive hatchback concept has not proved universally popular
- There's little to differentiate cabin from the mass-market Vectra's cockpit
- Question marks remain over image and long-term residual value performance
Neither an estate car nor a conventional family car, Vauxhall's Signum is something that is difficult to position in the market. What you do get is a five-door hatch that's big on passenger space and refinement at the expense of the versatility of a true load lugger.
You can be forgiven for not seeing too many of Vauxhall's Signums on the road. Unlike the firm's Vectra, the Signum's role in life is less clearly defined. It's not the obvious choice for the rep with a fondness for Vauxhall's, which probably explains the car's rare status.
The key to understanding the Signum is to look past its exterior. The car's cod-estate silhouette is misleading - it's no load lugger in the conventional sense. Access to the rear is better than the Vectra's though, which puts it one rung higher in the lifestyle category.
Consider the Signum as a five-door alternative to family-orientated compact people carriers and the car starts to make sense - if your family is of the grown up variety. Realistically a four-seater, the Signum easily accommodates a pair of stereotypical lanky teenagers in the back, mum and dad up front and either the weekly shop or holiday gear in the boot.
Factor in the car's 2005 model year updates - new nose, cabin and ride improvements - and the Signum starts to look attractive, albeit in a niche market way. That is, until you see the asking prices. With the high spec cars not far off that of a basic Audi or BWM, it's easy to understand why people continue to remain badge loyal.
Our verdict on the Vauxhall Signum Elite 3.0 CDTI 24v
The sales numbers and residual value calculations prove that the world isn't yet ready for a premium Vauxhall-badged hatchback. The car itself is a good one, and especially so in post-revision guise. However, for all the extra cabin room and kit the car offers, it's no A4 Avant or 3 Series Touring in the eyes of the brand obsessed, which is a shame as the Signum is possibly the more satisfying to live with long term.
Costs
The up-spec Signum is not a cheap car by Vauxhall standards, but look at the generous list of equipment and the asking price is easier to swallow. Pick a middle order diesel and fuel bills will be pleasingly low, while servicing costs shouldn't cause you to lose your shirt. The car's unusual status in the Vauxhall range means the trade find it difficult to classify and used prices tend to reflect that - great if you're buying but not if you're selling.
Space and practicality
The Signum falls between a Vectra hatch and Vectra estate - the car's boot is a reasonable size, but it's no match for that of a true load lugger despite the Signum's appearance. The car's interior is a different matter. Space missing in the boot is present in the rear of the cabin, making the Signum a spacious tourer for four adults. The usual family car cubbyholes are present, and the storage space available in the centre console and rear armrest is better than average.
From the rear the Signum likes more sports tourer than conventional hatchback
Controls and display
Owners and fans of the Vectra will be right at home in the Signum - the cabin architecture and control layout is the same. The car's main dials are easy to read, the central display mounted high in the fascia is informative but never cluttered, and the ventilation dials are reassuringly intuitive. The car's 'one touch' indicator and wiper stalks initially require a little thought but soon prove straightforward. In manual guise the gearlever's throw is not too long and the extra steering wheel buttons work well and control more than just the car's audio unit.
Comfort
The Vectra and Signum range have always been biased towards comfort, and the latter still delivers a predominately comfort-orientated experience despite the driver-focused improvements. Ride comfort is good; urban imperfections are easily dealt with and cruising at motorway speeds is effortless. Engine and road noise has been kept to a pleasing minimum, and occupants are unlikely to complain about the amount of room in the cabin. The Signum boasts more rear legroom than a Vectra, which makes it ideal for a grown up family or corporate duties. Both front and rear seats are supportive.
Car security
All the basics are covered in the Signum, but that's about it. Remote central locking is standard, and this is supplemented by an immobiliser and alarm - the latter's not included on the entry level Exclusiv. Given the car's relative lack of status, it's unlikely that it will attract that much attention.
Car safety
Vauxhall, like Renault, has focused increasingly on safety in recent years. Apart from the obvious air bag provision, which runs to twin front, side and curtain, there are numerous electronic aids to help keep you out of trouble. That said, if you want full-blown stability control, you'll need to select the Design or Elite variants.
Driver appeal
Vauxhall engineers put a lot of effort in to improving the Signum's ride and handling - and it shows. A sharper, more responsive car is the result, with this behaviour supported by a good range of engines. Predictably the diesel units provide the most real world performance, and the flagship 3.0-litre V6 engine delivering an impressive yet refined punch.
There's not a lot here to differentiate the Signum from the less costly Vectra
Family car appeal
As an upmarket alternative to a conventional, compact people carrier, the Signum scores highly if you're seeking a little more luxury and driving enjoyment. Rear legroom is considerably improved over the Vectra and the Signum's boot is as accessible as that of an estate car, although the available space is somewhere between that of a load lugger and regular hatch. Realistically the car is a four seater, as the rear compartment boasts a sizeable multi-function armrest and there's the option of a removable centre storage box, making it more appropriate for a grown up family.
First car appeal
It's unlikely that any novice would actively choose a Signum. If you're young at heart, the mature Signum probably won't appeal even if you could afford one. However, if you find yourself driving one there's no need to feel alarmed as it's easy to steer and park.
Quality and image
At launch the Signum suffered a little because many critics found it difficult to pigeonhole the car. Was it a hatch or a compact estate? In truth it is a roomy hatch with a decent boot, which puts it at odds with the Vectra yet the Signum costs considerably more. With fewer Signums on the road than Vectras, this could prove appealing to some buyers, though. Build quality is good and a noticeable improvement over the original launch cars.
Accessibility
Based on the Vectra estate, it's no surprise to learn that the Signum boasts a generously proportioned cabin. This translates into good levels of access all round, although the car's front doors do open wider than those at the rear. However, once inside, rear seat occupants are presented with a generous amount of legroom. At the back the car's tailgate requires a little effort to raise and lower, but the load lip is both wide and low.
Stereo and ICE (In car entertainment)
The Signum follows the humble Vectra in this department, with the lead-in Exclusiv boasting a CD player and radio that outputs its information to the car's main fascia-mounted display. Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) is also featured in the line-up, while the full colour sat-nav option is both intuitive and quick to recalculate a route. Best of all, the steering wheel mounted controls mean you rarely have to take your hands off the wheel.
Rear legroom is impressive, although the Signum is realistically only a four-seater car
Colours and trim
Selecting a dark exterior colour - preferably black - lends the Signum a higher level of kerb appeal over its Vectra cousin. If nothing else, the car looks more like the executive car Vauxhall would like you to believe it is. Inside, the cabin doesn't quite follow the plot. The interior is almost identical to that of the Vectra's, although build quality and the type of materials used is up to a high standard. Leather is recommended if you want to feel the full luxury effect.
Parking
The view forward is more than adequate for when parking the Signum, and the steering offers a high level of assistance to make the job easy. The car's mirrors also make parking easy, although the dark privacy glass fitted to the rear windows doesn't always help when manoeuvring in dimly lit car parks. That aside, the Signum's near-vertical rear hatch makes judging distances straightforward. Parking sensors are worth it to make the task even easier, though.: Exclusiv, Elegance, Design and Elite.
Alternative cars
Peugeot 407 SW Although more conventional, 407 puts more emphasis on style than its rivals
Audi A4 Avant Premium alternative isn't cheap but boasts a healthy following
Subaru Forester Another unconventional five-door hatch, but more rough and ready than the Signum
Renault Scenic Stylish MPV is versatile alternative but can't match the Signum for | http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/cartestreports/2005099.html | 2013-05-18T10:23:19 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

GREENSBORO, N.C. – North Carolina junior forward Billy Schuler has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Soccer Player of the Week after leading the Tar Heels to two victories, including a 2-1 win over top-ranked Louisville in which he scored the game-wining goal.
Schuler found the back of the net in the 74th minute for the tie-breaking goal against the Cardinals on Sunday, a victory that vaulted UNC to the top spot in this week’s Top Drawer Soccer, College Soccer News and Soccer America rankings. Two days earlier on Friday, Schuler had scored a pair of goals to key a 5-1 win over Oregon State.
Schuler has scored in all three games this season, all three of which have been game winners for UNC. Schuler, who was also named to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week, is tied for the ACC lead with four goals on the year and is averaging 1.33 per contest. The Allentown, N.J., native played just two games in 2010 and has made an immediate impact for the Tar Heels since returning from injury. | http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/090611aaa.html | 2013-05-18T10:21:22 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Cautious Wesfarmers stokes coal profit

THE coal division of West Australian conglomerate Wesfarmers has weathered expansion costs and price issues to report a full-year increase in earnings before tax of $439 million, slightly below forecasts but $100 million above last year.
However, Wesfarmers has flagged a ''less favourable'' guidance for next year, as mining giant BHP Billiton warns of potential job losses for its own coal assets following deteriorating market conditions due to a slowing of Chinese demand for metallurgical coal.
Costs for Wesfarmers' resources division rose 10 per cent to $1.17 billion in the year to June 31, from $1.06 billion the previous year, due to flood recovery and one-off expansion costs, the company reported.
But revenue was up 19.9 per cent to $2.13 billion, more than covering the cost rise.
Wesfarmers' coal assets include its Curragh operations in Queensland's Bowen Basin and a 40 per cent interest in the Bengalla open-cut coalmining joint venture in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.
Last month, when Wesfarmers reported better-than-expected coal production from Curragh, managing director Richard Goyder told investors his main concern had shifted from production to prices, and he was not alone.
BHP Billiton stood by its indication earlier this month that its Australian coalmines could face job losses in a deteriorating global market and slowing industrial activity in China.
BHP's coal partnership with Japan's Mitsubishi involves seven coalmines that largely produce metallurgical coal, which, like iron ore, is a steel-making commodity and demand for which is tied to the pace of China's growth.
''Against a backdrop of increasing costs and falling commodity prices, we continue to focus on reducing our overheads and operating costs,'' a BHP spokesperson said. ''We don't intend to provide any detail about specific adjustments, but clearly there may be some impact on jobs in some areas.''
Wesfarmers resources managing director Stewart Butel told investors cash costs had fallen 20 per cent after the $286 million Curragh expansion, which raised its output to 8.5 million tonnes a year.
But he also warned that a 20 per cent fall in the metallurgical coal spot price in recent weeks, coupled with a high Australian dollar and uncertainty in Europe, had affected the company's short-term outlook.
However, Mr Butel remained confident on the strength of Wesfarmers' coal division in the longer term. | http://www.theage.com.au/business/cautious-wesfarmers-stokes-coal-profit-20120816-24bfu.html | 2013-05-18T10:14:32 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Rinehart world's richest woman: BRW
Gina Rinehart: world's richest woman
Gina Rinehart should be commended for the way she's handled her business to become the richest woman in the world says BRW Rich 200 editor, Andrew Heathcote.
- Autoplay OnOff
- Video feedback
- Video settings - and Australia's wealthiest person - with the BRW Rich 200 list estimating her wealth has nearly tripled in the past year to $29.17 billion.
She roared past Christy Walton, a widow with a large stake in the US retail giant Wal-Mart, who is reputedly worth $25 billion.
Mind boggling ... Gina Rinehart's golden year in numbers. [These figures have been rounded up].
It was only 20 years ago that Ms Rinehart debuted on the list with a relatively paltry $75 million, after the death of her father, Lang Hancock. Apart from the West Australian billionairess, whose estimated fortune rose from $10.3 billion to its current peak, most list veterans had a difficult year, with 104 losing money.
With an estimated fortune of $675 million, Canberra airport owner Terry Snow has again been confirmed as the richest person in the ACT.
BRW Rich 200 list editor Andrew Heathcote said the uncertainty of the times was perhaps reflected in the fact that the cut-off for eligibility in the list dropped $5 million to $210 million this year.

South African-born commodities trader Ivan Glasenberg retained second spot, behind Ms Rinehart, although his wealth dropped to $7.4 billion from $8.8 billion.
Property mogul Frank Lowy climbed to third place with $6.47 billion.
WA miner Andrew Forrest fell from third to fourth, as his wealth shrank slightly to $5.89 billion.
The Victorian manufacturer and property developer Anthony Pratt and family fell from fourth to fifth.
Therese Rein, the wife of the former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd, is now worth an estimated $210 million. | http://www.theage.com.au/executive-style/management/rinehart-worlds-richest-woman-brw-20120523-1z4lb.html | 2013-05-18T10:56:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Young Dons show the right stuff
ST KILDA strolled to the quarter-time huddle yesterday evening in familiar fettle, 28 points to the good and content that Essendon was trapped in the path of a steamroller that has been flattening all-comers. That the course of events changed so unexpectedly in the ensuing two hours was embraced by a large, appreciative crowd.
The Saints still got the points, but for the next three quarters were challenged like they have rarely been in this breakout season. Their attack on the ball and the man with it did not waver, but the young Dons kept pinging at them like a cork bursting from a bottle.
Hearts were still in mouths deep into the last quarter as the kamikaze Bombers kept coming, like kids careering down a hill who knew the slightest trip would bring them calamitously undone, yet seemingly intoxicated by the notion that if they could just keep their feet, they would have the ride of their lives.
The approach was no different to that which derailed Hawthorn nine days earlier, yet it still astonished. A third-quarter goal was emblematic, beginning with Tayte Pears surrounded in front of the goal he was defending, daring opponents to come to him, somehow squeezing the ball to Adam McPhee, and eventually finding Courtenay Dempsey, who took three bounces down the wing, seemed to have taken one too many, and goaled regardless.
That cut the margin to 18 points, a deficit the Bombers strained for the remainder of the match to eat into, but were effectively held at arm's length by the long, strong arms of Nick Riewoldt and Justin Koschitzke. The pair continued the crash course in defending being undertaken by Cale Hooker and Pears, and while the Essendon duo were again manful beyond their years, "Roo" and "Kosi" dragged in nine contested marks between them, contributed seven goals and were ultimately the difference.
The battle at the coalface was more even than St Kilda's clearance ascendancy would suggest, with Lenny Hayes the best of a familiar all-star cast, and Leigh Montagna, Brendon Goddard and Nick Dal Santo all doing their bit. Yet in Jobe Watson the Bombers had the contest's star midfielder.
A remarkable 18 of his 39 possessions were won in close, squirting the ball to his team's advantage as bodies bore down on him like collapsing buildings. As Essendon awaits the return of Mark McVeigh and Andrew Welsh, its makeshift clearance men at least have someone from whom they can take a lead.
The Saints burst clear early in ominous fashion, Riewoldt and Koschitzke converting their aerial victories and Andrew McQualter, Luke Ball and Jason Gram all finding a way clear of the maul and kicking easy goals.
Essendon nailed its colours to the mast from the outset, drawing the man no matter how heavy the traffic around them, pin-balling their way out of trouble and often right back into it again. Jay Neagle was a lone target in an open forward line, kicked his team's first three goals, and showed his value would multiply as his feel for flight and knack of when and where to run matures.
Otherwise there had been little early cheer for the red and black, save for Stephen Milne twice getting caught with the ball, but they refused to temper their helter-skelter ways and were rewarded by bursts from Dempsey, Andrew Lovett and Alwyn Davey, who at one stage found David Myers charging through the middle without a soul to greet him.
The Saints could not build on their early dominance, but continued to do enough, a Lenny Hayes goal from a forward-line stoppage giving them a five-goal cushion in the third, and two from Koschitzke after imposing chest marks kept the margin beyond four at the last change.
Matthew Lloyd kept his team in it and Angus Monfries might have made it a nail-biter, but his two last-quarter misses capped a miserable evening in which he didn't get a kick until after half-time, and then could only kick it on the full.
The band finally snapped when Riewoldt marked Dal Santo's perfectly-weighted kick 17 minutes in, and Nathan Lovett-Murray knocked him to the ground and sent him to the goal line.
ST KILDA 6.5 8.8 11.11 13.12 (90)
ESSENDON 2.1 5.1 8.6 10.11 (71)
GOALS St Kilda: Koschitzke 4, Riewoldt 3, McQualter, Geary, Gram, Ball, Hayes, Milne. Essendon: Neagle 3, Lloyd 3, Dempsey, Myers, Slattery, Winderlich.
BEST St Kilda: Riewoldt, Koschitzke, Hayes, Dal Santo, Montagna, Goddard. Essendon: Watson, Dempsey, McPhee, Lloyd, Lovett, Dyson.
REPORTS Essendon: Davey (Essendon) by field umpire McBurney for rough conduct against Dal Santo (St Kilda) in the second quarter.
UMPIRES Pannell, McBurney, Chamberlain.
CROWD: 45,594 at Etihad Stadium.
MAIN MEN Justin Koschitzke and Nick Riewoldt had considerable size and experience over their respective minders, Tayte Pears and Cale Hooker. While the Bomber duo were not disgraced by any means, their St Kilda opponents provided the regular passage to goal in a match in which small scorers took a back seat to the tall, strong marking men.
TURNING POINT St Kilda's six unanswered goals in the first term were always going to make a scoreboard reversal unlikely. But after the Dons' revival in the second and third quarters and the Saints' comparative stagnation, it wasn't until the 17th minute of the final term that St Kilda put the result to bed. Nick Riewoldt won a 50-metre penalty courtesy of a late and unnecessary bump from Nathan Lovett-Murray. He drilled the goal and gave the Saints 25 points' worth of breathing space.
THE UPSHOT For Essendon, this performance against a near-full-strength St Kilda side was possibly as encouraging as the team's round-seven win over injury-ravaged Hawthorn. Even if it wasn't St Kilda's narrowest winning margin of the year, it was one of its biggest tests and the team should be sharpened by the experience.
