Best of Miami 2014 has finally arrived. You can pick up our epic guide to all things Miami on Thursday, or check out the full list of winners online now if you just can't contain yourself. This year's edition is filled with over 300 of our favorite bars, bites, and places to snack.
Miami's culinary landscape is a fickle one to map. For every talented new chef joining the ranks, there's a beloved figure about to depart; for every exciting restaurant opening, another dining staple shutters. Despite the constant ups and downs -- or because of them, depending on your perspective -- Miami's food scene is a thrilling one to eat through, from Little Havana, to the Upper Eastside, to Midtown. Here's a sampling of some of our favorite restaurants that have become the toast of their neighborhoods:

Best Restaurant in Coral Gables - Eating House
Miamians are welcoming whenever a popular stateside or international restaurant opens an outpost here. But when a talented and innovative local chef unveils his first eatery in the 305, it's an event worth celebrating. That restaurant is Eating House, an intimate Coral Gables pop-up turned permanent fixture. It's where the under-30 chef Giorgio Rapicavoli concocts raved-about fare such as nostalgia-tinged Cap'n Crunch pancakes for brunch ($13) and creamy pasta carbonara ($23) for dinner. The menu is undoubtedly eclectic and reflects Rapicavoli's Argentine and Italian heritage, as well as his upbringing in Doral. Everything is also very well priced considering the nuanced nature of the dishes. For instance, melt-in-your-mouth beef sweetbreads ($15) are coupled with pickled Florida watermelon, cucumbers, and napa cabbage and then punctuated with miso and ginger. Inside this hip space adorned with graffiti canvases, random objects, and plenty of Miami Heat memorabilia, you'll discover that rare restaurant where fun meets high-end cuisine.
Best Restaurant in Downtown - The River Seafood & Oyster Bar
For more than ten years, the River Seafood & Oyster Bar has been luring Miamians to Brickell with its impressive hand-shucked oyster selection and its superior-quality fish. Something you rarely spot on a local menu despite an abundance of seafood restaurants is wild Faroe salmon, but here you can have it grilled or pan-seared with a choice of condiments and sauces ($32). The sustainable fish is renowned for its delicate flavor, and chef-owner David Bracha coaxes it out with a sweet-and-spicy glaze. During happy hour, you'll find no shortage of sharp professionals sipping $3 draft beers or $5 wines and cocktails to go along with half-priced oysters. Patrons here seem to know one another, and there's a decidedly neighborhood vibe in the warm, unpretentious dining room. Sunday brunch is a relatively new addition and one of the best spots in town for fish-centric egg dishes such as the yummy lobster omelet stuffed with chanterelles, goat cheese, and chives ($24).
Best Restaurant in South Beach - 1826 Restaurant and Lounge
It could be the lure of Miami Beach's beautiful people and electric atmosphere. It could be that the young chef was up for a challenge. It could even be because he was sick of Chicago winters. In any event, the Windy City's loss is the Magic City's gain, because Danny Grant, who earned two Michelin stars at his former Chicago restaurant, Ria, has opened 1826 in Miami Beach. This multilevel establishment is gorgeous and masculine. Golden guns serve as lamps, and airplane wings are repurposed into chairs in the lounge. Cocktail and wine menus are presented on iPads. Everything in the room is as close to perfect as possible. And the food? It's a lovely affair. Every morsel, from the freshly baked rolls served with key lime butter to a melt-in-your-mouth short rib ($29), is so beautiful you almost don't want to eat it. Go ahead. Take a quick picture. Then dig in. Because as pretty as your dish is, it tastes even better.

Best Restaurant in Wynwood - R House
Wynwood may be the heartbeat of Miami's art scene, but you want to know what's really beautiful? The sight of R House's gorgeous Brazilian seafood mocqueta arriving at your table. Tender cobia, sweet scallops, and shrimp swim in a piquant coconut milk broth, seasoned with garlic and fragrant ginger. Served with basmati rice, it's a masterpiece of a meal ($16 half portion, $25 full portion). As you dine, your eyes are entertained by the art on the walls, which display works curated by White Porch Gallery, and your ears are thrilled to music spun by some of the best local DJs. Why simply dine when you can feed all of your senses?

I am beginning to think they may well be, though my observations are in no way scientific. Indeed they are largely anecdotal, but I have observed particularly in recent years how some people have surged forward with their businesses.
They have a 'strong central idea', coupled with the ability and 'passion' to both innovate and share their idea with others.
It may well be that their 'strong central idea' is rooted in a story that quite possibly started in childhood.
It seems to me that these individuals with their deep and long lasting passion for their craft, product or service seem also to have a wealth of ideas for developing and extending that self-same craft, product or service. It may also be that the 'passion' and enthusiasm they 'give out' is 'infectious' and brings forth ideas and opportunities from others.
Whatever the exact mechanics, these individuals seem almost able to tap into a 'bottomless well' of ideas for moving their product or service forward. The innovation takes on a 'life of its own'.
As an 'outsider' it appears to me that the innovation is effortless, I'm sure this isn't strictly the case, but I wonder if people with the enthusiasm, zeal and belief in 'their thing' are naturally always on the lookout for new ways to apply, source and share their 'love' with the world.
In other words I am beginning to wonder if innovation comes from this deep seated passion.
A core from which a stream of ideas seem to flow.
So my question for you as a business owner is, is there love and passion at the core of your business? If not, might this explain why you are struggling to innovate and move forward? I guess you could also ask this of yourself about work in general.
Incidentally the three business owners that inspired me to write this blog are:
Tabitha Jayne – The nature process, www.tabithajayne.com
Galia – Choc Chick, loves chocolate, www.chocchick.com
Jenny Garrett – Coach and author of 'Rocking your Role', www.rockingyourrole.com
It just so happens I have met these three women and seen how they present their businesses with truth, authenticity and style and I look forward to seeing how they continue to move forward.

Justices Challenges Government Over Health Law
On Mean Street, the Government faces a stiff challenge from Justice Anthony Kennedy. Also, how should you avoid this year's scheduled dividend tax hike? Plus, should Morgan Stanley buy out Citi's holdings in Smith Barney?

... I ... the ... afternoon it is their March twenty seven in your on means tree I'm Evan Newmark ... all eyes are on the Supreme Court ... down a washing DC where it appears ... that the future of the health care law will ride on the shoulders ... of Justice Anthony Kennedy Brent Kendall ... Dow Jones Newswires was there at the Electric session ... as I think out of no electric sahur was electric ... in the Supreme Court Brent ... give us what happened today ... well it was the last lecture to is a tense two hours ... the U S listed IPOs ... and really ... the first ... and was defending ... the ... insurance mean a health care was off the virus ... Americans carry ... a pair ... of it ... I'm almost in the moment he stood up ... he ... faced a barrage of questions from conservative justices ... and became clear early on that the ruling here is going to be very class and then it may in fact ... Justice Anthony Kennedy who is ... often the swing Bennett and ideologically divided ... nine cases in court ... Anthony Kennedy mailing them came into being man of the moment ... we have to hear from him I think right now we have a little potty and to live audio or video feeds audio ... Jeff ... understand that we must presume Loeser execution ... even so know when you worse ... changing the relation of the individual to the government in Greece ... what ... we can stipulate is ... a unique way ... do not have a heavy burden of justification to show ... authorization under the carpet ... our out of work in the Supreme Court Brent ... twenty says do not have a heavy burden of justification ... what if he'd put something in those terms that because he's already made up his mind ... is that because he's not getting satisfactory answers from the solicitor general what is to use that time the language ... well I think it has taken her case he was communicating directly where he was coming from on this and something that clearly troubled and ... he has in the case the solicitor General is that when the government had a high hurdle it was going to have crossed ... to be able to ... to justify ... this mandate that saddening the core and in a whole string of cases has has given the federal government ... broad power to regulate ... interstate commerce and Kennedy and other members of the court were grappling with the outer reaches of that ... after the first hour ... if things look fairly grim for the government in Kennedy's comments ... certainly caught everybody's attention but then when the Challenger said of candy made comments ... that intensely critical of of them as well and it leaves you not completely sure ... as to as to where he's going to come out on us now is it really doesn't all fall on Kennedy shoulders at this stage of the sale of a ... grilling and I mean the four liberal justices seem like they would ... be like BTU ... to the top of all the mandate ... Justice Clarence Thomas based on his past readings ... seem to pretty sure that they're against it but the other for conservatives ... were sort of a question mark I think after today's arguments you can cross out Justice Scalia and Justice Alito is possible that the government that they ... were both very hostile and are questioning to the government I'm ... a canny don't ... chief Justice Roberts Leno was critical of the government the first hour but he often made comments ... in the second hour of which the lead you to believe that ... candidates at least possible he could get either way on that same year one of the big questions for him will be ... as Justice Kennedy ... Unum ... decides that he wants to uphold the law and incentives Kennedy unaffordable justices ... there may be a motivation for that seem ... to be part of that my jar majority that isn't as chief justice ... he could choose to rent the Opinion himself he wanted to and he can control ... I'm ... certain this give them a nature that essential rule ... you may miss came as a surprise to the Obama White House ... held this difference the court seemed to at least ... on the face of it come out against the individual mandate to that ... I don't think said in note after the law was passed early on people didn't think much about the lawsuits challenging the law but then you know some of the sausage gained traction in court ... piano and especially after the administration lost a couple more of what will listen and I think is clearly had their tents ... and you know this quarter they you know the Polleit Corbett south in a very aggressive Courtenay Bain ... aam are often ... interested in questioning into an understanding that ... the nature of the questions today and in the ... manner in which the government was pressed that was something that the White House was prepared ... to what extent or political considerations on the minds of the Supreme Court justices ... there's an upcoming election in November ... the Obama or of the health care law is held up as the kind of the linchpin or that ... the landmark legislation on the Obama administration ... is the burden on the um ... on Justice Kennedy's seat ... will he has been to overturn such a landmark piece of legislation purely on political considerations ... how well ... you know it's it's hard to say to what extent political considerations factor in these deliberations members of the court will tell you that they ... don't ... buy ... generally speaking at the justices will say that any time they're considering strike down an act of Congress that it ... intended as a as a step that they don't take lightly I'm in and they defer legislative branches ... of that seventy I think the big question in the minds of several people today ... last year what are the implications for the nation as ... we uphold this lot up much of the questioning focused on ... you know if the government can require people to buy insurance can they require them to purchase other things ... and what are the long-term ramifications if we say ... the Congress of the federal government can do this in the core I repeatedly was searching for ... here's some sort of a limiting principle that would just turn paved the way for the nearly unlimited federal power ... that and quite frankly this was a gentle dogs really appeared to struggle with me answering the question I just a sperm lawyers to argue these cases in the lower of course ... often struggle with acquiring or they just don't have a six the same answer ... on that point ... Brent Kendall ... from DowJones Newswires thank you very much for that insight into what's going on ... down to the Supreme Court ... turning to the markets ... they're flat ... really very un eventful than the market in a big day yesterday ... flat ... we had a number come out on consumer confidence earlier today Spencer Jacob ... of the hurt on the Street team is going to tells all about this consumer confidence number became and plus or minus as expected down a little bit what do you care about consumer confidence ... it is this idea that economists have that ... doesn't matter that they can be much tell how much money you have the Casto's sample people ... how much money you spend how much you save whatever ... but that's not ... gonna tell them what you're going to do right and that's the one they wanna economists stock market everybody ... else there ... was to understand the behavior ... of people less then you know what the you know whether night you reach or not is irrelevant what you did it with the incremental dollar in your pocket is what that that's right and that's what Keynes called animal spirits sounds like a shoulder Discovery Channel but it's actually ... you know it's it's refers to ... how that ... the hardest thing to figure out which is what you're going to do a capella twenty oh by the of your fridge or lose your job or not ... the rear its teachings in turn gets translated into these indices on consumer confidence in the rice ... and their debt for once here the US directed the euro to Michigan and ... the one that came out today with the Conference Board right right right ... now what what what what did these confidence measures we don't need to get to take ... what they've managed ... ok ... all all drug use of the two big ones which are the Conference Board's and this division but there others to an every lots of countries happened to me that the sewing people are really curious about ... don't get to what they going to be the euro is about the money will not use the term diffusion of us were dying to see is that so much time to visit so so ... what to do both of them ... ask five questions to double the different questions coffers for the first and that's that's a bigger surveyed eight bailout of surveys to five thousand households in about three thousand back each month ... despots questions ... so via question five questions grand total of five question ... was given a dividend of three of them are about ... more about the future to have a more about how you how you think things are right now ... and they get ... will but more weight to the future than they do to how things are right now ... and between them and people basically you are three answers better ... where's the same ... and they ignore the same in the cake the better that the worst answers and they ... as a formula used to write ... it ... down to the government's cooking out today was around seventeen ... he can go in speed ... at the time two thousandeight two thousandnine in his way down right the forties or fifties DiCandilo things are hunky dory and five ... the you can go higher ... Miller ... played January two thousand of the peak of the bull market dot com Kristen as it hit one forty four points really ... in every two thousand and on with the world was ending ... that's what that's all time low of twenty five and the ... andthe the advantages to give you a sense of it is not a point it's it's basically said ... terms of where we are is relative to the median and they sent the media just arbitrarily by eighty five the city or wish to set this number ... a hundred pound or right now consumer confidence ... or seventy offices less than ... the ... average bottle or what all the others nineteenth ravages night before so so ... it's not a bad reflection where least I would perceive the mindset of America being which is ... not great but not be in the world not ... to try to ... get that that's the thing is like you know you ... people will get a new book the last for five months of the that that you went from ... you you were that of all balls ... of four-year low almost three year low ... back in September you know the number was really really well ... this jaunt along ... the way the relationship between these things and stock market because you know they're great the backward looking to see straight so the stock market tends to ... rise and fall as the consumer and it does but doesn't necessarily tell you ... what's going happen feature correct ... so they're probably adding that the that you can set up a server to five thousand households have a bunch of insurance Co it ... and what it basically tells use a stopwatch to just one of the swap is one of the syllables Navistar towards the because the stock market's pretty good proxy for how people feel about the world and ... to embrace this is not going to go up when people are feeling good and it tends to be this kind of ... circular of effect virtuous circle that stock market goes up people feel better generally speaking ... but then at some point the stock market goes down people stop doing that ... when after which comes first ... yet what the the play chicken coasters because you know people ... that that look and say oh you know ... this thing peaked right before stocks beat a moderate on this topic ... you know what ... the LSE haven't I'm cheating go to the future right that doesn't really help you don't know that it is just the right so I mean that ... instead of useless and in terms of data to the euro to calm about it ... there you go I did I'd I don't I get that that I get that close to my nail the head of the ... budget we still paid into yes I did it and data point ... what people care ... I'm saying is one of ... the ... Spencer Jacob will impart your column next month ... on ... all this ... debt ... next ... the ... Iran wants our weight ... apparently they can still buy it but ... that coming up next ... stocks it turned out just after Spencer Jacob to my riveting discussion ... of the consumer confidence index ... there is confidence out there somewhere ... Spencer Jacob to find it now ... turning to better is ... in Iran ... the sanctions go now with Iran but apparently we can still sell the wheat ... the Iranians apparently or buy lots of it according to Li implantable Wall Street Journal fascinating what ... we we did or sanctions to get the ball and lots of are we ... doing at that rate we sanction all kinds of stuff but not friendly for a new medicine right when sanctions stuff that that that we don't sell them ... it's not more ... so that the mining the acidic of the phrase you get thrown around is dual use you don't want cellphone be something that they can fire chief for next spring ... or you know it's a real an actor still the military hardware chemicals in dirt and I think really that those kinds of things and distinctions are made to stop right um but you know we ... menacingly the idea is to make sure to warn on ... you know causing humanitarian ... YouView not causing human suffering ... in any country that under sanctions on of the Iranians are vinyl on a weekly ... loss of weak lately my and I was ... and then there's the view that the baby stockpiling get in case something happens that that's a sentiment sure I mean ... really gross a lot of we get home ... they have in the past sometimes bought quite alot of wheat abroad ... but they've done it ... they tended to do it moves when they had like ... local crime problem so two thousandeight ... two thousandnine ... they had a drought that hit the really hard he bought a lot of weak ... around the world lots of people grow we did that one in endless foreign countries ... including the US now when the bomb into thousandeight two thousandnine ... that was the first time they had purchased US week the twenty seven years ... the ironic to me by U S wheat for political reasons or did they buy us we just as the US is a large next quarter we enter the market ... you know our exports are in the market is like any other wheat export ... market ... where did they make a kind of a political point ... of buying us a region ... with your guess is as good as mine nobody really knows ... why when does what the queue for what they bought the bought the device ... um ... did the things that go worth pointing out ... in trying to get that are ... new to the US is one of them the main beach goers around the world big agricultural powerhouse ... but there are other agricultural powerhouses in Iran is on from some of them right now ... it could be buying from from the US just because ... the price happens to be good or because ... they feel they know the quality is high the U S meat and poultry products or are you well known for their quality ... um they're also could be you know I sense that if they were from the US did in the half wore compensates for that now we are there problems with the wheat crop in Iran because of the other sanctions going on ... meeting is it is because you know ... there's a drought may be going on in parts of Iran or is it because it can keep their farming equipment is the sanctions up to snuff ... or is it basically the bond because they ... actually come in we don't really know whether point because they need before because they think they may need their help to harvest a crop starting in May ... they may know something that the rest of the world doesn't know about with the recent dry weather has caused a problem with the the production didn't expect ... or they may just wanna have a lot of it on hand to ... get the crop but also by what you can still weak for a long time so if you think that you know was that stable it's a staple in flatbread there is a staple of the I need a ... new diet and this is ... not a bid to get ... a non brand on it but this is true in many countries in the Middle East and there were people who ... you talk about how this may have been a factor ... contributing factor but effective unless in some of the Arab Spring uprisings ... in that field sorely needed with a rising grain present that cause well written very expensive wheat prices were worth it just like before the Arab Spring uprisings ... and down ... the uprisings and that that governments have to absorb a lot that costs because the subsidized bread ... on in in parts of the region ... and the rain Aeon's like a lot of them in a lot of countries in the Middle East ... they eat more than twice as much money ... per capita than Americans do one so it's a really big part of local blowout ... so ... what are the only thing I fed into relationship with ... your relationship with Iran in ... a saucepan tested every new film called separation ... not that we ... it's not that the deal would lead putting it shows that the family it's going to divorce in Tehran ... fantastic movie I highly recommend to people with AMP levels Wall Street Journal thank you very much ... right up next Jack L ... awesome views on how to avoid next year's rise in taxes on dividends well maybe they'll be arising taxes Jack L coming up next ... stock market keeps going up ... what's going happen next year ... what will happen if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire in taxes on dividends go way out ...

It is therefore important for one to consider getting the best qualified individual or company who can be in a position to give you what you want as well as guide you on the best ones possible. Below are some of the benefits of having the designer of interior chair.
When one decides to have what they desire it is good to consider having the interior chair designer. When having the interior designer pf your chairs one will not have a bad feeling towards them because it will exactly be what they needed hence one will be free to invite their friends to visit them. It is good that one should get the designer when they need the chairs for them not to end up being disappointed by getting what they did not expect from the carpenter or designer of the chair.
One should rely on the designers for them to get the best chair or furniture because the designers are well informed concerning such. Getting the most experienced fellows in whatever we do will enable us to get the best thing that we desire from the experienced individuals. If one gets the right designer for their chairs or furniture, one will be in a position to get the very best for themselves.
When one decides to get a designer for their chair it is very possible for them to end up with the most appropriate furniture for them.

This is because one will be in a position to get the best one through the help the designer hence ends up getting the right furniture for their home. This too will help one in selecting the one they desire and the designer will have no objection than to make it because it is their responsibility to treat their customers well.

Therefore it is important to consider it important to save time for doing other thing by having the designer making their chairs or furniture. It is important to save on time by avoiding to do something for long.

Achieving growth targets is a matter of political importance in China, and there's evidence that someone somewhere is fiddling with the numbers. For one thing, China's No. 2 leader, Li Keqiang, admitted as much in 2007. A diplomatic cable released to the public by Wikileaks quoted Li as saying during a dinner that GDP figures were "man-made" and therefore unreliable. Li said he personally looked at electric consumption, rail cargo and loans disbursed for a clue to how the economy was operating, rather than official growth figures. "All other figures, especially GDP statistics, are 'for reference only,' he said smiling," the cable reads.
"The problem with the Shanghai Composite is that 94 percent of Chinese stocks trade at higher valuations than the index, a consequence of its heavy weighting toward low-priced banks. Use average or median multiples instead and a different picture emerges: Chinese shares are almost twice as expensive as they were when the Shanghai Composite peaked in October 2007 and more than three times pricier than any of the world's top 10 markets."
"In economics, things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could."
"Despite the economy crying out for it, the Chinese leadership is not ready for this," said Buiter, the man who coined the term "Grexit" during the Greek debt crisis.
"Driving the global selloff is the concern that the once-highflying Chinese economy may be slowing significantly, which has triggered steep losses in global stock markets, commodities and emerging-market currencies. China's surprise currency devaluation two weeks ago—which could make its exports more competitive—and a string of weak data signal the economy may be feebler than expected, despite a campaign to rev up growth that has included interest-rate cuts and measures to boost lending."
"Around $5 trillion has been wiped off global equity markets since the yuan devalued earlier this month. That shift, allied to a string of bad economic numbers and a botched official attempt to halt the slide in Chinese bourses, has fuelled fears that the world's second-largest economy is heading for a hard landing. Exports have been falling. The stockmarket has lost more than 40% since peaking in June, a bigger drop than the dotcom bust."

In the 1970s, women were dancing to disco, teetering around in platform sandals. Thankfully, all that's changed. But one thing hasn't: More women work in secretarial field than any other.
"That has been the case since we first started collecting this data in the 1970s," says Liana Christin Landivar, a statistician and sociologist with the Census Bureau.
Landivar says today, more than three million women work as secretaries or administrative assistants. So, has anything changed since the '50s? Daniel Hammermesh says yes. He's a labor economist at the University of Texas.
"Oh come on," he says. "It's not 'Ozzie and Harriet.' These things are much less pronounced than when I watched 'Ozzie and Harriet' in the '50s."
Hammermesh says, more women are getting college degrees. He started teaching in the '70s, and his classes were two-thirds male. Now, they're almost 50-50. Those degrees are landing women better jobs. In 1970, about 9 percent of all female workers were secretaries. That's been cut almost in half today, to about 5 percent. The Census Bureau report says there are now more female veterinarians, doctors and dentists.
Phillip Cohen is a sociologist at the University of Maryland. He says women did make great strides in the '70s and '80s, but things have stagnated since. "And I think one of the reasons why we haven't seen more progress is women have sort of hit a wall where there's not enough flexibility at home and work," he says.
Cohen says employers could help by being more open to flextime. And the government could step in with more public preschool programs.
Here are some more interesting job facts we culled from the census data:
- The largest occupation category for men was truck driver (3.2 million)
- For women, the largest occupation category was secretary/administrative assistant (3.8 million)
- The largest occupation category for Asians was computer software engineer (247,000)
- Among African Americans/blacks, the largest occupation category was nursing, psychiatric/home health aide (731,000)
- The largest occupation category for whites was secretary/administrative assistant (3.0 million)
- Among Hispanics, construction laborer was the largest occupation category (409,000)
- The fastest-growing occupation among all races was personal care aide.

Seesmic Desktop Updates: More Facebook Comments, Less Twitter Spam
When Seesmic Desktop first launched we thought it had great potential to be a threat to TweetDeck. Then after adding Facebook integration, we were convinced that it was indeed a fierce rival.
Now, just a few short weeks later, Seesmic Desktop has released yet another update, and we remain impressed. The update, available now, fixes a few minor bugs, but adds in some key features we've been craving: Facebook commenting, Twitter spam reporting, additional image options, spellcheck, and even Tweetshrink support to auto-condense 140 plus character updates.
Cosmetically, Seesmic Desktop doesn't look much different. But it's the new hidden gems that make this baby sing. Now, your Facebook updates column includes a little arrow that when clicked lets you view an entire conversation thread, like, and even comment on the item. We especially love this particular feature update because it gives us a more well-rounded Facebook experience, without any additional cluttering of the UI.
Also now on deck is spell check. Former Twhirl users, like myself, have probably missed that little red line that subtly warns you before you embarrass yourself on Twitter. No longer my friends. Plus, if you take a closer look at the status update box, you'll notice a shrink text option. If your pending tweet is more than 140 characters, just click that little sucker and watch it mince your words into a more appropriate form for Twitter.
You'll also notice additional nifty features when you mouse over a user's avatar and click on the gear icon. Most notable is the report spam option. Now anytime Twitter spam hits your stream, you can quickly report it right from Seesmic Desktop (i.e. - an auto-generated DM to Twitter's @spam account). Plus, you can also take advantage of that ever-powerful block feature.
We're pleased as peaches with today's new additions, and we're also impressed with the speed and agility that Seesmic has demonstrated in pushing out changes. We have to wonder, what will TweetDeck do next to answer?
And in case you're curious, here's the full list of improvements in v.0.2.1:
- Ability to view and enter comments into Facebook - Added spellcheck feature with the ability to enable and disable - Now supporting pikchur and yfrog to share images on Twitter - Added spam reporting feature to help send spam warnings to Twitter's @spam account - Ability to block users who are following you on Twitter - Ability to use Tweetshrink before sending messages (see http://tweetshrink.com/about) - Access to view favorites within your Twitter account timeline - Improved profile enhancements (added follow/unfollow within a profile along with the ability to reply and direct message) - Option to start Seesmic Desktop at login - Verification dialog box upon deletions of Userlists, Searches - For OSX: Added standard buttons for OSX and improved idle CPU usage - Displayed version information in update tab
Bug fixes
- Fix posting to Facebook with non-US characters - Issues with same usernames showing multiple times - solved - Issues with not removing messages when account is removed - solved

Oil Slick Color: The Rainbow Hair Trend for Brunettes
2015 was the year of the pastel hair, and the trend doesn't seem to be going anywhere in 2016. But season after season, brunettes have watched as their light-haired friends went from bright teal ombré, to full-on pink without having to completely bleach (and damage!) their hair. The truth is, if you are a brunette, you've probably been feeling a little left out on the rainbow hair trend because turning your dark strands an opalescent color is way more of a process than it is for your blonde friends.
But there's a new color technique for darker strands that makes your hair look iridescent. It's called oil slick hair color. At first mention, the term may make you wonder why anyone would want oily hair. But this chic winter beauty trend has nothing to do with actual grease.
Oil slick color is a style that applies a mix of dark blue, green, and purple tones over darker hair, giving it an iridescent appearance. This is similar to the pastel hair color trend, but its shimmery effect comes from blending darker shades rather than ultra-pale ones. The effect is a darker spectrum of colors all incorporated together with a bit of edge that looks good with really dark roots.
What makes oil slick hair stand out is that it's mostly about using cooler colors (i.e. blue, green, purple, etc.,) with a hint of one warm color (i.e. pink) worn against dark hair, like an oil slick. It's designed to look dark in certain lighting and shine colorful in the light, like black oil. Whereas rainbow contains all the colors in the spectrum, cool and warm.
If you have naturally dark hair, this is the perfect way to add a fun and unique color to your mane without the maintenance. You don't have to lighten it so much to get it there, so your hair will be in better condition. And while pastel shades tend to fade quickly, these deeper colors will last for months. It's also more subtle than the pastel hair trend so there is less urgency to head to the salon for a root touchup the second you get re-growth.
If you decide to get on board with the oil slick trend make sure you are using products from the essence ULTIME Diamond Color and Radiance line, which is especially developed for color treated hair. The line not only nourishes your thirsty hair after the color process, but protects your beautiful blues, greens, purples and pinks from fading. If your tresses still look dry, be sure to use choose your styling products from the styliste ULTIME Crystal Shine and Hold line to give you locks the glossy sheen you desire.
If you're a brunette looking for an edgier hair look this winter, try out the oil slick color trend. The bleach-free technique gives dark hair a colorful, iridescent sheen with some amazingly gorgeous results, without destroying your strands. The richer jeweled tones of the rainbow make this the perfect look for the season and a score for dark-haired girls everywhere.

Every once in a while we need an extra USB port for our xbox's. Some of us just NEED a USB port period! There is ALWAYS A solution...
I originally did this mod because I need to get a gamesave to a thumb drive via the Pro Action Replay software on my PC and didn't have a memory unit. Since then, I have done this mod for a few people and they use it for a variety of things. Let's start!
First I started with an official Micro$oft controller.
I wanted to put the USB port in the upper, or top, memory card slot.
Locate and remove 7 phillips screws. #7 is usually under a sticker. In this example, the sticker was already removed.
Remove both pieces of the shell, the buttons, the rumble motors etc.. and set aside. you should be left with the naked controller PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
Find your USB port and solder wires to each pin, about 1 - 1.5" long. In this example, I used standard colors harvested from a scrap piece of USB cable. You can also use scrap IDE cable for a cleaner look.
Orient your USB port in the memory card slot and thread the wires through the opening in the top.
Sorry for he blurry picture. Solder your wires to the memory card leads as follows:
For added protection (you really don't need it, but what the hell?) add a dab or line of hot glue to the top and bottom of the USB port leads to seal the connections.
While your adding hot glue to the under-side of the leads, add a good sized gob of hot glue to the port itself and stick it in place. REMEMBER, if you don't have something plugged in when you stick it, the hot glue will seep through the USB port holes and make it nearly impossible to insert anything in. You'll be digging out hot glue with tweasers or an x-acto knife, possibly damage the inner leads.
Add a little bit of hot glue to the inside of the casing and stick your wires to the gob. This will keep them in place and free from getting the way when you put your controller back together.
Put everything back together and you should have something that loos like this:
Now you are free to use any compatible USB device on your xbox. Remember that thumb drives are hit or miss as to which ones will actually be compatible. The xbox can not recognize anything over 4gb (unless you format it into 4gb partitions. EG: an 8gb thumb drive can be partitioned into 2 separate 4gb "drives" that the xbox will recognize as 2 separate drives). You can use this n your PC with the XBCD driver to transfer game saves... etc...
Since this project, I have had to resolder and reseat the USB port. Amanda likes to charge her phone while she plays games. The constant movement of the controller while a heavier cable is plugged in, knocked the hot glue free and broke one of the wires inside the controller. That's not to say that this mod lasted over a year before I had to repair it.
Have fun!
NOTE: This was a junk controller when I first started this project. Don't worry about the controller cable being frayed. I will make a tutorial on how to fix that and link it HERE at a later date. You may also notice that controller button "A" has an LED in it. That was just me testing out the concept and has been removed completely.

Survivor of deadly armoured car heist squeezes wife's hand
Matthew Schuman sustained head injuries in Friday's attack at Hub Mall
The lone survivor of an armoured car heist in Edmonton — that left three others dead — opened his eyes and squeezed his wife's hand on Sunday night, according to sources.
CBC News has learned that Matthew Schuman, a corporal in the air force who held a second job at G4S Security, sustained head injuries during the attack at the University of Alberta's Hub Mall last week. The nature of his injuries — described as critical — have never been disclosed.
"This is best news we have had in the last sixty hours or so," one source stated.
One of Schuman's coworkers at G4S, Travis Baumgartner, faces three counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in the shooting. Michelle Shegelski, 26, Eddie Rejano, 39, and Brian Ilesic, 35 were shot and killed.
Baumgartner was arrested Saturday afternoon while attempting to enter the United States near Abbotsford, B.C.
He is now being held in Langley, B.C., where he is being questioned by Edmonton police investigators. Police say he is co-operating and is expected to be taken to Edmonton on Wednesday.
G4S opening its own investigation
Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht said at a news conference on Monday that he intends to visit each of the victims' families this week.
"None of us can truly understand the loss these families have experienced, especially in so shocking a brutal fashion," he said.
The crime scene has been a challenge for some of his officers who will require counselling in the weeks to come, Knecht said.
"Our investigators have described the scene as one of unimaginable carnage," he said.
The armoured-car company said it will be doing its own investigation into the robbery.
It has flown in its own security experts to carry out the investigation, which is standard practice in such cases, said G4S Canada CEO Jean Tallion.
"I cannot begin to describe the shock and grief that the G4S family is still feeling," he said. "We lost three valued members and another remains in critical condition in hospital and our thoughts and prayers remain with their family and friends."
Federal Occupational Health and Safety officers also confirmed Monday they have launched an investigation into the deaths as well.
'Best outcome we could have hoped for'
A team of eight investigators from the Edmonton Police Service flew in to Langley on Saturday night after Baumgartner, who worked as a security guard, was stopped by U.S. border security at a crossing outside of Abbotsford.
"This is the best outcome we could have hoped for," Edmonton police Supt. Bob Hassel said, adding that Baumgartner was held by U.S. security until RCMP were able to arrive to arrest him. He was not carrying a passport, but had more than $330,000 in cash with him in his vehicle, police said Sunday.
Baumgartner, who had only been on the job for a few months, faces three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and four counts of robbery using a firearm.
Portraits of Shegelski, Rejano and Ilesic have started to emerge.
Ilesic's brother, Keith, said in an email that the devoted father grew up in Edmonton and also lived in Vancouver for a short time before rediscovering religion within the past two years and becoming a regular churchgoer. He was described as an outdoorsman who loved Japanese cuisine and going to the movies.
"Brian was always the type of person to put his family and friends before himself. He was a loyal friend," Keith Ilesic wrote in an email to CBC News.
"But his greatest love was for his daughter ... who he'd do anything and everything he could to make her happy and give her a promising future."
Schuman was stationed as a firefighter at Canadian Forces Base Edmonton.
Body armour, gun still missing
Baumgartner arrived at the border crossing in the same blue Ford F-150, with his mother's licence plate on the back, that police had been searching for since he was identified as a suspect.
The licence plate was scanned by an automated system at the crossing and set off an alarm warning security that the driver was considered armed and dangerous.
"Sometimes you have to scratch your head and wonder why people [wanted by police] would knowingly come up and make contact with law enforcement," said Tom Schreiber, chief border officer at the crossing.
"Maybe he thought he would be able to get through — I don't know."
Police said they still have not found Baumgartner's company-owned gun and body armour after examining his truck

UPDATE: I am no longer pissed about all of this.Posted November 9th, 2009
So…I have been purposefully staying off Twitter and the rest of the social networks because I felt like they would be a distraction from the stuff I want to get done. Plus I am kind of a competitive person. If I was on Twitter, I said to myself, I said I said, I would start to think I had better start writing more one liners for Twitter. I would be thinking, all day long, "Oh God, I haven't written anything new on Twitter in four hours." And "Look! Laura's got a new Twit. I'd better think of something." and "Oh shit. They've ALL got new twits. And I'm still sitting here not writing!" And I'd start fretting about it . And that is nerve wracking and time consuming. And I am trying to finish a book. And in order to finish a book, I need hundreds of hours of time wasted on nothing. Because writing a book is very hard.At least to me it is. I waste a lot of time pulling out my hair and conducting pointless google searches before I get down to business. Read more

In the beginning the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors (BACD as we were formally known) was formulated by Dr Rita Rakus and myself during several meetings in 2000. The initial impetus was to discuss the impact of the impending introduction of appraisals for doctors in cosmetic medicine. It soon became very clear to us that we needed to form a group and widen the remit to include organised training, treatment protocols, revalidation and provision of a forum to discuss topical issues.
The increasing publicity of non-surgical techniques in cosmetic work in the press and television focused largely on non-medical personnel. We thought it was time for a directional change that brought the Doctors themselves, through the BACD into the media limelight. We also felt it imperative that the BACD would provide a unified representative voice to benefit doctors and patients alike.
We circulated doctors with potential interest and were delighted by the response. This was our initial vision and mission statement.
The inaugural meeting was held at the Law Society in London on 2nd October 2001 and 27 doctors attended from all fields of medicine. This highlighted and confirmed the need for an organisation to be created. In order to spread the increasing workload, we formed a committee which included Dr John Curran, Dr Tracy Mountford and Dr Mike Comins. Our next meeting in 2002 had 65 attendees and growth has continued to the present day.
Dr Patrick Bowler
Founder and Fellow Member of the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors
When the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors (BACD) became the British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM)
At the Annual General Meeting on the 17th March 2012, the membership passed a series of resolutions reforming and restructuring the organisation to become the British College of Aesthetic Medicine. The changes would help bring to fruition the aspirations of the founders in the full recognition of Aesthetic Medicine, enabling it to take its rightful place as a medical speciality.

Halloween is coming up too!
The talent on display is impressive, with participants going all-out trying to capture both the striking looks and the sensual stage moves of Prince, but the setting is what makes this event truly surreal.[jump]
It takes place in a Champions Sports Bar full of screaming women in Washington, D.C., and is judged by other celebrity lookalikes like Hulk Hogan and Tina Turner. Let that sink in a bit before you watch the clip below (and yes, thankfully, "Hulk" and "Tina" make a brief appearance).
But the year-long contracts on offer for these contestants aren't anything to laugh at, with organizer Ron Smith offering part-time impersonation gigs worth upwards of $25,000 a year, which must have been quite impressive back in 1985 (and still is now, actually).
One of the contestants emphatically states: "The greatest thing that I can get out of this is when I come off the stage and somebody tells me 'You made me believe that I was really at a Prince concert.' And I just had that happen at Champions." Ride that wave for as long as you can, pal, and hope that it never crashes.
Now, I don't know what kind of drinks they were serving at this event at Champions to make someone believe that they were at a Prince concert (and I bet the person who said that has never seen the real Prince live), but it just reminds you how much Prince captivated the country during 1985, and how people from all over America truly took his music and style to heart. He was so hot that year that there was a definite need for people to dole out impressive contracts to Prince impersonators, who in turn might have been hired for a party you attended.
While my money would have been on the young kid getting down on "I Would Die 4 U," there are plenty of contestants who obviously took this contest seriously. And the winners probably spent the better part of the next year impersonating Prince at events throughout the United States, while making a decent living doing so.
Here's to hoping that Prince eventually gets around to setting up some local shows for his dedicated fan base in Minnesota before we have to rely on an impersonator to get our own Purple fix.

Friendly Dog Collars was designed as a visual communication tool to let others know if your dog is approachable or requires space. Initially inspired by the traffic light system Green/Friendly, Yellow/Nervous and Caution/Red we have since expanded to include an additional 12 ranges.
Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with a non-reactive dog so our mission is to promote situational awareness about others needs.
If you see a dog in a yellow, orange or red PLEASE give them the space they deserve.
Our dream is to be supported by Councils when it comes to Responsible Dog Ownership and to have educational programs in place to teach children about how the traffic light system relates to dogs.

The first Hawaiian Island settlers are thought to have been of Polynesian descent who arrived from the Marquesas Islands around 300 to 400 AD. The travelers arrived with pigs, chickens and dogs, as well as nutritious plants such as taro and breadfruit, which were to become staples of the Traditional Hawaiian Diet, or THD as it is also known.
As obesity increases among Americans, including those native to Hawaii, dietary programs are being tested and developed in an attempt to decrease and prevent it. Researchers at the University of Hawaii have investigated the traditional Hawaiian diet as a dietary model to reduce obesity and the risk of diseases associated with it.
The original island settlers are believed to have introduced breadfruit to the islands, which when ripe can be eaten as a fruit, or cooked as a vegetable if under-ripe. Ancient Hawaiians also would have eaten plenty of coconuts, bananas, apples, raspberries and strawberries; many of the foods would have been in a fresh and raw.
Eating large amounts of vegetables every day is a healthy practice, one that was followed in ancient times by Hawaiians. It is believed that a healthy adult would have consumed around 2 cups of sweet potatoes and 2 cups of cooked greens. Yams would also have been a staple part of the diet, along with at least a daily pound of poi, a traditional Hawaiian dish made from pounded taro root.
Meats and Fish
Hawaiian protein food sources in ancient times were mainly fish and other seafood, such as squid and crab. Chicken and other birds were also eaten. According to the Alternative Hawaii website, the traditional Hawaiian diet would have consisted of 12 percent protein.
A study undertaken at Hawaii University, revealed that participants who try to follow a traditional Hawaiian diet have problems sticking to the diet long-term. Although many do experience initial weight loss and improved health, they claim that reasons they fail to follow the diet long-term include an inability to obtain fresh produce at affordable prices and lack of support. The study concludes that certain measures need to be applied to make the diet a realistic lifestyle choice for current times, such as removing junk-food vending machines from schools, and the provision of land for community gardening.
