Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Cupcake toppers have become very popular, and I am going to show you a few shortcuts to achieving some of the trendiest looks using your Fiskars tools.
Pinwheels are definitely my favorite trend at the moment. They are just happiness on a stick! Here's how to create a mini scalloped version with a punch.
1. Punch an XL Square-A-Licious from double-sided patterned paper. A lighter weight paper works best.
2. Cut a slit from each corner toward the center, being sure to stop short of center as shown.
3. Add a mini glue dot to the center of front.
4. Fold up one corner of each flap toward center and adhere onto glue dot.
5. Repeat for all flaps and top with mini button adhered with another glue dot. Press down at the center firmly with the end of a pen to achieve a strong seal.
6. With one final mini glue dot folded, adhere pinwheel to lollipop stick, bamboo skewer, or toothpick.
Flags are everywhere and definitely one of the hottest trends going right now. Here is a super stylish option using pinking shears or edgers.
1. Trim a half inch strip of patterned paper to double the length of desired flag.
2. Apply adhesive to back side of strip and fold in half onto bamboo skewer or toothpick and press to secure.
3. Trim off end of flag with pinking shears or edgers for easy decorative edge.
My next favorite cupcake trend is edible design toppers. Fiskars stamps help make this technique fail-proof.
1. Stamp flower design repeatedly onto white paper.
2. Melt melting chocolates per package directions.
3. Place a sheet of wax paper over stamped design and pipe melted chocolate along design.
4. Add an M&M or similar candy at center and allow to dry fully.
5. Once fully dry, carefully peel from wax paper and insert into cupcake frosting.
My favorite trend is still the quirky mustache, even when it is completely random to the party's theme. These would be absolutely adorable for a boy baby shower. Luckily they are super simple to make yourself!
1. Fold a sheet of stiffened felt (available at craft store) and place leaf shape from Flowers template along folded edge as shown.
2. Trace design with pen or disappearing ink marker.
3. Cut out shape while still folded.
4. Unfold to reveal mustache and adhere (or hot glue) to toothpick.

- Rosso Piceno Stefano Antonucci
- Vintage: 2011
- Mineral, fruity red rich with bramble, dark plum and cherry flavours. Its firm, tarry darkness, a twist of poised acidity and ripe, liquorice tannins give it layers of character and length. This is a fabulous tangy red, that's lavishly mouthwatering, dense and delicious, but never over-powering.
- About this bottle: Rosso Piceno is the flagship red wine of the Italian Marche region. It is made from the Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes (70% and 30% for this wine) which have a long history in this area. Winemaker Stefano Antonucci selects grapes from old vines to give this wine its intensity of flavour, but uses no oak for maturation – allowing these fragrant grapes to speak for themselves.
- The grapes for this feisty red are grown in Barbara and Serra de Conti, at 250m above sea level and 20km from the sea.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by John62 50/50 on watch The watch itself is great does every thing it is supposed to do. However trying to link it up to the web site has been a nightmare. May 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bill Simple and accurate. I wanted something that is simple. This is it! All I was looking for was distance, overall time and pace. Sometimes watches that do everything are too complicated. This watch is very accurate computing distance and pace, but I have my doubts about the calorie counter. It seems to calculate a bit high. It links to satellite very quickly and so far hasn't lost signal. I am very pleased. I would give it 5 stars if the display was arranged a little better. I would recommend this watch if you are looking for a not a lot of frills, easy to navigate and accurate GPS watch. March 8, 2014

I am writing in response to Mark Hannah's article (Town Crier) that was in the Sunday, Sept. 8, Daily Citizen. I just want to thank him for all of it but especially the part about 134 Dalton High students graduating in the Wink Theatre as I was one of the 134. It sure brought back a lot of memories.
They had not completed the auditorium next to the new high school on Crawford Street. It was 1957, so they decided we would go to the Wink Theatre. It must have been a wonderful sight to watch all of us marching through town in our white gowns and our white caps. I am sure the Statler Brothers had us all in mind when they wrote their hit song "Class of '57" along with all the other classes of '57 in the world.
So thank you, Mark Hannah, for all your wonderful articles that you write every week.

Diner Reviews
Resort is currently under
renovation: Menu on Open Table is incorrect use Resort Website for menu. Mostly hotel guests dining. Service was well attentive to needs and detail. Food is stylish and portions are fair. Sea bass special had a nice portion, skimpy on the veggies. Salmon small portion and small portion on the veggies. Wine list has a nice global selection. There is potential here, perhaps another visit when the construction dust settles. Management not attentive to open Table website status, took several days to credit points."

First visit to Waterline and I am
hooked. Service was impeccable. Food was very fresh and exciting to the palate. I have not had a better meal in a very long time. Views are amazing. A must dine!"
Dined on 4/23/2014
The ambiance is superb.
Casual-chic Mediterranean feel. Newport Harbor view with yachts quietly nosed into their slips at the base of the outdoor patio (our favorite spot). The BBC has undergone some wonderful changes over the past 5-10 years with classic spaces open to the public. Another major refresh is in progress with Duke's, Waterline (they renamed the First Cabin restaurant) and the reception area. So, we will cut them some slack on food and service this trip. That said, we ALWAYS take visitors here for that lovely view and hope they can smooth out the new menu and kitchen. The Crab Bisque is still excellent and totally worth the invested calories!"

I've heard a lot about the
restaurant. Decided to go for a special occasion with family in town. The new remodel is great and view is terrific. Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. Waiter was slow. Bread was stale. Lamp shank was like bbq beef. All of us felt our food was not "great" for the costs and atmosphere. Food was bland. Could be amazing place if their food improves. "

Love the decor and menu
improvements-I must state the halibut BLT was fantastico! Also, the glass windscreen makes a HUGE difference in the breeze sitting outside, which is everyone's preference!"
Dined on 4/19/2014
Overall, our dining experience was
just okay. We felt rushed to order. Once our food came, our server didn't check on us but once. We had to try and grab her attention when we needed a refill for water. Not what you expect from an upscale restaurant. The food was okay, just okay. "

First time my wife and I have been
there since the changeover. Food preparations was excellent- with a lot of surprising tastes. Service was top notch- Mike, our waiter, was very knowledgeable and engaging. Good wine selection. Highly recommend it."

Located inside the Balboa Resort
this restaurant formerly called "Front Cabin" used to be a great restaurant. Especially enjoyed the weekend brunches. No more. Closed for renovations a couple months and reopened as "Waterline". New brunch was a small buffet combined with a Fixed Prix menu of entrees. My entree was burned and neither the chef, server, or manager cared. They've only been open a couple weeks so perhaps they will improve. Took photo. Wish I could post here!"

Corn chowder was outstanding as
was the trout. Premises are under construction so it was a little difficult getting to but once there it as delightful. The lamb was not my favorite. Looking forward to returning ."
Dined on 3/20/2014
We had gone to the original First
Cabin and enjoyed the wonderful menu and excellent food. The new menu at Waterline is very limited and lacks originality. My soup was barely warm, but my wife's kale salad was excellent. The pork shoulder was overcooked, and my NY steak was cooked properly but it had an excess of gristle and fat. Our server was not attentive, and we had to leave our table to find her and get our bill. The restaurant wasn't crowded so we have no idea where she had gone. We might go back for a drink due to the location, but we are done going there for dinner."

My mother and brother thought the
crab cakes were the best they'd ever had."

I liked this Restaurant but I
didn't know on Sundays at lunch they have a brunch....only!!! I really don't like,I prefer a normal lunch!!! The food was very good.I think this restaurant is much better for dinner.I'll try!!!!"
Dined on 3/16/2014
We waited 10 minutes for a server
who then had attitude. Food was ok with my wife's fish raw in the middle. Not a great experience. Hopefully the kinks being worked out after the remodel."

I went here for my anniversary and
was not disappointed. The food and service were excellent."
Dined on 3/14/2014
This was a birthday luncheon and
the lobby does post the birthday person's name; restaurant also offers a free desert to birthday person. Several of our party had the Chilian Sea Bass which was cooked to perfection & presentation was fashionable. Others in the party had entree salads which are large in size but everyone enjoyed them. Nothing unique about their salads. All in all we would dine again at First Cabin."
Dined on 2/1/2014
Like most every other wonderful
place for grown ups, our lovely First Cabin will undergo "PLASTIC SURGERY," starting February 10th, to become "more casual." Great! Just what we need: yet another place for the tank top and flip-flops crowd. First Cabin is--at least for a few more days--a quiet, elegant, refined place to DINE like royalty. A large, luxurious room with big booths and tables spaced far enough apart that you can discuss your latest zillion dollar deal in private. Magnificent martinis, and wonderful prime rib on Fridays & Saturdays. A grand piano playing beautiful music that you can actually talk over. If change must come, PLEASE BBC, don't change it too much, as we love you, just the way you are."

First class service from attentive
waitstaff followed by superb cuisine. Only negative was thin by the glass wine list"

This is very expensive place, even

Celebrated moms 81 and come here
2-3x a month. Great service- Manuel and Octavio and Gustavo. Thank you for making it a great day."
Dined on 1/11/2014
We have lived in Newport Beach for
over 12 years now, but had never dined at First Cabin. I guess we always thought it was for members only. We LOVE this place, but now we hear that they are going to change it to a more "casual" restaurant. Too bad. We love it just the way it is. All we need is yet another noisy, casual joint for the shorts & flip flops crowd."
Dined on 1/4/2014
If you have enough time for a
relaxing experience this is the place for you.The waiters are attentive but don't rush you.Ambience is amazing specially if you get one of the tables next to the window so you can watch the yachts passing by better. Loved their Lobster Bisque.The Chilean Sea Bass was made to perfection. Will definitely come back for more."
Dined on 12/28/2013
We had lunch on our previous visit
and selected First Cabin for Christmas Eve dinner. Fantastic choice, our family group of 6 rated the food and service as best ever, which includes some very highly rated competition. This would be our first cabin choice for any special occasion. The fixed price menu was especially delicious."
Dined on 12/24/2013
But, you're paying for the
location. We went to watch the Christmas Boat Parade and got a great table, as close to the water as possible. $65/person prix fixe menu is pricey for what you get; average, or slightly better-than-average food. If this were a dining experience alone, we would not return."
Dined on 12/20/2013
Ambiance, food, service and timing
was outstanding!"
Dined on 12/14/2013
We love this restaurant! The food
is fabulous, the service is fantastic and we can carry on a conversation with out yelling at each other. We are upset that they will be changing into a steak restaurant in February."
Dined on 12/8/2013
Changes always bring adjustments.
BBC now the Balboa Bay Resort has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. (yes fifity) The previous visits I always rated the first cabin as five stars, but it has slipped. Still a great location and lovely public rooms but the dinning was a disapointment. Not bad, just not as good as I remember it to be. Service was good but rushed. Not a fine dining experience. Food was good, but just average, not fine dining and the price was very expensive. I hope they work out the kinks and get back up to a five star experience"
Dined on 11/29/2013
This is a classy restaurant with
an eclectic menu. Everything we had was excellent! Leasurely service so not good if you are in a hurry. Nice views of Newport Harbor!"
Dined on 11/29/2013
Even though we have lived in
Newport Beach for many years, we had never dined at the Balboa Bay Resort. For some reason, we thought that it might be stuffy and a bit too clubby for us. We were pleasantly surprised. First Cabin was quiet, with perfect lighting, comfortable booths, great food and VERY friendly and ULTRA professional service. On one or two nights a week, they do prime rib, which will be the "trial by fire" for us. Since Five Crowns went down the drain and Gulliver's has just suffered a fall in quality, we have not had wonderful prime rib in some time. We are hoping that First Cabin will serve "First Cabin" quality prime rib. We'll let you know."
Dined on 11/27/2013
This restaurant is located in a
beautiful resort on the water. Outdoor dining available. It is nice for brunch/lunch. Two of us had wonderful salads. The other two had mahi-mahi which was bland and tasted a bit fishy. The service was good. I would go back for the upscale ambience and you can't beat the view."
Dined on 11/23/2013
I used to go for lunch there so I
thought it would be a great dinner to celebrate my best friends' 60th birthday. Our party of 6 was very disappointed. The food was not good for the kind of price we paid. Two of us had the Rib Eye steaks and one had to be sent back because it had a gravy which was not mentioned on the menu, and besides it tasted like the jar gravy, and the steak was too thin. The fish was dried, and the salads were really small. My husband loves Crème Brule and this was not even closed to what we used to have there for lunch. I also ordered the chocolate soufflé and later on the waiter let me know that he was not aware the chef did not offer this kind of dessert since the chef was new. I will not be coming back!"
Dined on 11/16/2013
The waitress was great, made
suggestions, tailored it to accommodate my needs, and talked me into a fabulous dessert (the pecan ball) of which I have no regrets. I look forward to their upcoming renovation, though it is a beautiful and well-maintained location as is. First-class in every aspect; my only hope is that they have more organic food choices on their new menu."
Dined on 11/13/2013
I had the speck & chilean sea bass
and bread pudding for dessert. DELICIOUS!"
Dined on 11/13/2013
Waterfront dining on the harbor is
always a treat, but the First Cabin Restaurant made is even nicer. The chef had a grass-fed steak special (testing out for their new menu after their upcoming renovation), and it was delicious! It is expensive, and I am sure that will not improve with the renovation, but I loved the booth seating, the chef's willingness to accommodate by dietary needs, and I would return in a heartbeat."
Dined on 11/12/2013
This is not a happening scene.
There was were two other tables dinning when we arrived (7pm) both tables left before we finished. There was an enjoyable piano player who stopped before we finished dinner. Summer may be busier."
Dined on 11/8/2013
There was not one thing wrong with
the evening. Easy to make last minute reservations, was seated immediately by the window with a wonderful view of the harbor, and our server, Crystal was a delight. The food was done to perfection including the presentation. We had an appetizer which was an Ahi Avocado with a wonderful balsamic type sauce, the house salad and the Macadamia Encrusted Mahi Mahi. All I can say is "YUM"! Definitely a place I will go back to, no disappointment there."
Dined on 11/3/2013
Beautiful place to laugh and hang
out with friends. Wait staff was very accommodating and over the top friendly. But the food was the special occasion! All of us had amazing experiences with our selections and it was all done to perfection and also had great combinations of sides. The best part was that it was so healthy. Loved the experience."
Dined on 11/1/2013
This is a "go to" restaurant when
I am in the Newport Beach area. Over the years, I have spent a lot of holiday meals with family and friends at First Cabin. The service here is top notch, particularly Mustafa, a charming and elegant fellow. The food is consistently of a high quality and the room and view are charming. This is service in the best sense of the word with an unerring attention to detail. Looking for a conventional elegant meeting out, then check out the First Cabin. I have never been disappointed."

text: I'm about to do some wiring in my HT room (basement) next month, running some dedicated 20 amp lines etc. While I have my ceiling removed, I'd like to try something I've been thinking of for some time and would appreciate anyone's input on how to accomplish this. When listening to music or a movie at volume, I tend to keep the room shut off from the rest of the house. If someone comes to the front door and rings the doorbell, well...the house is a rockin' and I can't hear them knockin'. I know enough about electricity to run the AC lines I need, but I'm not too familiar with a doorbell low voltage system. What I'd like to do is to have a small inconspicuous LED somewhere near my display so it would catch my eye when lit, and have it connected to the low voltage doorbell system (mine is a wired system). I've seen the flashers you can buy that plug into AC and remotely connect to a wireless doorbell system, but I'm not really interested in that. I'm really open to ideas, thoughts anyone?

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

No surprise there. The downside of living in the future is that we wind up with a number of gadgets to keep track of everywhere we go. A backpack or shoulder bag is almost a necessity for the connected person on the go. All those gadgets have also greatly improved the experience of air travel. Games, ebooks, videos, and music are all readily available on a plane, but the rise of portable electronic functionality has paralleled the increase of inconvenience in the air travel at the security line and the check-in counter. SCOTTEVEST takes solid aim at both of these problem areas and scores a big hit with their new jacket/vest combination, the Transformer. A light windbreaker with removable sleeves and more hidden pockets and zippers than one would ever imagine, this one article of clothing can do the work of an entire bag in many cases, and it does so while obscuring the bulk of all the technological wizardry concealed within. The Coal colored SCOTTEVEST Transformer and an X-Ray view of what it can hold. SCOTTEVEST Transformer: the Features SCOTTEVEST has been making clothing to help manage the proliferation of gadgets in our lives for years, but this really elevates the process to new heights. Available in Ash (light grey), Blaze (red), and Coal (black) for $160, it isn't cheap, but given the number of features built into the jacket, that is a pretty reasonable price. Here are some of the highlights. Mapping the pockets In earlier jackets you could find a map to the various pockets printed on the lining of the jacket or vest. Now, most of the pockets actually have a small nylon tag with an icon showing the intended use for it. Starting on the right side, you will see along the inside of the vest The inner right side pockets of the SCOTTEVEST Transformer, loaded A sleeve that will fit a pen, pencil, or stylus quite nicely right along the primary jacket zipper up around collarbone level A pocket for your MP3 player with a velcro pad at the top and a zipper along the side if you need extra room to get it in. This uses SCOTTEVEST's clear touch fabric (although it feels suspiciously like vinyl), which will allow you to see and interact with your screen or clickwheel with the phone still securely inside the pocket. There is an opening that looks like a buttonhole inside the pocket, which I believe is part of the Personal Area Network (PAN) routing. This pocket is marked with an icon tab that looks a bit like an iPod Classic. A zippered pocket whose tab indicates it is for glasses (sun or prescription or possibly the nerd chic lensless ones the kids are wearing these days). Inside this pocket is a microfiber cloth for cleaning the lenses which is tethered to the lining with a nylon cord. The cloth is also printed with the full map of the Transformer's features. There is a PAN routing buttonhole here, so you could use this for something other than a pair of glasses. Another zippered pocket for a camera and related accessories. Inside the pocket is a Velcro-closure compartment for a memory card. The entire pocket is separated into two sections by another Velcro strip. On the inside of the left side of the vest, there is a similar set of features. The inner left side pockets of the SCOTTEVEST Transformer, fully loaded Another pencil sleeve alongside the inside of the zipper mirroring the right side version Another pocket with the clear touch fabric, again mirroring the right side. This one has an icon tab with a cell phone on it, but you could certainly put one on either side, possibly accommodating a smartphone in each Clear Touch Pocket as some people carry for personal and business use. A gargantuan zippered pocket that can accommodate an iPad or similar tablet. Inside this is a Velcro closure sleeve that could hold something like USB thumb drive or AA battery. Again the PAN buttonhole makes an appearance. A pocket to hold travel documents like boarding passes, letter-folded itinerary printouts, and a passport. A Velcro closure pocket to hold a photo ID, but sized properly for business cards or credit cards as well. Another zippered pocket just inside the main zipper that will easily stow the sleeves until they are needed. The outside of the jacket has the pockets one would expect in any jacket for handwarming or glove storage, but even those have hidden coolness inside. On the right side Handwarmer Pocket, we have An elastic loop to hold a water bottle securely in place with minimal sloshing A small Velcro pocket at the bottom for coin storage A tether with a clip on the end for storing your keys, designed with enough spring to allow use of the keys without ever having to unclip them. Yet another PAN access port On the left side Handwarmer Pocket, we have A huge pocket with an inner zipper that can segregate about half of the pocket from easy access, leaving the outer section of the pocket feeling normal sized and empty of anything but your hand One more PAN buttonhole Another Velcro coin pocket deep beyond the inner zipper The Personal Area Network This is a patented feature from Technology Enabled Clothing. Starting at either of the smartphone pockets, a series of elastic loops and split plastic cylindrical clips provide routing for the headphone wires of the gadgets nestled within. Continuing up around the inside of the collar is a fleece flap that folds over and secures the wire with three Velcro pads to hold the flap down and a snap elastic loop at the center of the collar, presumably to anchor the wire more securely in place. Right by the exit of each collar is a slit in the jacket similar to the pen holder sleeve that SCOTTEVEST calls the Earbud Basket. The exposed earpieces can be slid into these for protection and concealment. That is the Quick Release PAN system. The more permanent routing utilizes the buttonhole network described above. The Transforming This is a truly pleasant surprise. The removable sleeves are held in place by twelve magnets at the interface with the vest. As demonstrated on their website, they can be removed or installed without ever removing the jacket. When coupled with the mesh and venting for airflow through the vest, this increases the range of suitable weather and temperatures for wearing this jacket. Transformer: How does it perform? Some of the features were tested in the quiet confines of my condo or office, but many got their first look in a real world situation: a fourteen and a half hour flight to Korea followed immediately by a four hour car ride out to a factory town. With little advance research or prep, I wanted to use the jacket's design cues and icon tags to guide me in its use. Smartphone Pockets The Clear Touch Fabric Smartphone Pocket with The Rolling Stones playing inside. Those Clear Touch Fabric pockets do allow the user to read the screen though the film, but it does need to be fairly flat and close to the screen to read with any clarity. Also, swiping and gestures need to have a reasonably taut window to make this work well. Since the primary needs would be to access the controls for music playback or to dial a number, this interface should be good enough to handle that. Using the PAN My experience trying to route the wires was a little challenging. If all you want to do is listen, then it is a simple matter to center the earbud fork in the cable at the center of the collar, allowing the earpieces to hang out just enough for easy placement and wearing. If, however, you are using a smartphone and need the inline microphone, you will probably be experimenting for a bit before you find a routing length that gives you the length you need where you need it. Once the routing is complete, this is a pretty slick way to keep your earbuds handy and protected all the time without having to worry about coiling them back up for storage or the dreaded tangle so commonly experienced when removing hastily stowed headphones from a bag or pocket. The Documents Pocket This was the biggest surprise for me of the entire jacket… even more than the magnetic removable sleeves. When I travel, I always have a backpack and a small dufflebag as carryons. Neither of these has any easily accessible place where I can put my boarding pass and passport without getting them wrinkled or bent. Imagine my delight when I found a zippered pocket that was exactly long enough to accept my boarding pass in the sleeve provided by the airline lengthwise in pristine condition with no difficulty. Unlike my cargo pants pocket, it wasn't always trying to cuff the top of the boarding pass, and unlike my backpack, I never had to remove it and dig to find the documents. Easily accessed with my right hand, the zipper opens with a simple pull as you hold the jacket open and taut. Everything comes in and out without catching or grabbing on the edge of the pocket. For those who don't travel much, this may seem like a trivial feature, but finding this feature was actually one of the coolest "aha" moments of the whole trip. The Camera Pocket I'm not quite sure what the two Velcro-separated compartments are meant for, but the pocket does hold the camera well in there. A small point-and-shoot like my Nikon Coolpix S4000 slides into the smaller compartment and rides there without slinging around. I didn't need the SD card pocket as I never come close to maxing out the memory in the 8GB card I use, so I had no need to exchange a backup memory card. A little experimentation reveals that the larger compartment could hold the camera sync cable and maybe a sufficiently small tripod. The Sunglass Pocket I really like certain aspects of this. The tethered microfiber map means I no longer need to carry around my Oakley pouch to clean my lenses. The location is high enough on the torso that I don't have to worry about accidentally crushing my glasses if I lean up against a counter at the wrong angle. On the other hand, the location is also right by my rib cage, and the thin rigid parts of the glasses can jab a little uncomfortably. It could be that the glasses ride horizontally in the pocket. If they were oriented vertically, they might not be as likely to poke, but the smartphone pocket is in the way of that positioning. The Pad Pocket I was pretty skeptical about this. My Kindle Fire is a little heavy to simply hide in a pocket and forget it. There was plenty of room for it in either portrait or landscape orientation. When the jacket is zipped up, you can definitely feel this adding some bulk to the jacket, and when carrying the jacket in your hand, it feels pretty heavy. When you are wearing it, though, something about the placement relative to the suspension points on your body makes it reasonably unnoticeable. There is still a mass there that can get swinging if you try to run, and when sitting in a chair with armrests, the tablet will need to be arranged in such a way that it doesn't get crushed or jab you in the side. Still, the option to carry something this large so easily without a separate bag is a pretty big accomplishment for a light jacket. Transforming Left view- showing sleeves partially unattached. Right view- showing the interface points and concealed magnets When it comes to the actual metamorphosis from jacket to vest and back, things work pretty well. Just as shown in the video, it is exceptionally easy to remove the sleeves from the jacket without taking it off. Fold them up and tuck them away in the storage pocket, and you are ready to go. This is a little bulky in that pocket, especially if you are also packing a tablet device, but given what you were just able to do, that is a minor inconvenience. Putting the sleeves back on is a little tough. You can easily get the arms in place where they should be, but getting all the magnets to line up exactly where they should be is a challenge. There is a kind of weird Iron Man-autodressing-armor-type feeling as the magnets that do seat almost magically grab onto their partners with a satisfying click. All twelve may not hit, and some might grab the wrong one, but I suspect that with practice, installation can become nearly as easy as removal. When they are on, it does feel just like a normal jacket. When I first received the review unit, I didn't know about this feature… I didn't even know it was called the Transformer… so I had already worn it a while before I realized the sleeves came off. That is some clean integration. Transformer: How Does It Look? I loaded up the Transformer to show what it could hold and how much it would show. In these photos, the jacket is holding everything shown in the earlier images except for my point-and-shoot. It was busy taking the pictures. Transformer front view, fully loaded and completely empty Transformer left side view, fully loaded and completely empty Transformer right side view, fully loaded and completely empty Overall, you aren't going to fool anyone into thinking you aren't carrying all that gear, but it does the best job I have seen at unobtrusively distributing all the contents without compromising access or for the most part, comfort. Any more concealment might require harnessing a dimensional rift inside the pockets. SCOTTEVEST Transformer: The Travel Experience As previously mentioned, the first trial of this jacket was on my trip to South Korea. I wanted to see if I could put all the gadgets I could reasonably expect to use on the flight in the Transformer and keep it on in my seat. Unfortunately, June in Texas and in Seoul do not feature weather conducive to jacket wearing. The sleeves were off (and in my bag as I saw zero probability that I would be needing them for warmth), and I was relying on the mesh vented lining to help keep me cool. The air conditioning in the airport and at the beginning of the flight were sufficient to maintain comfort with the vest on. The first big improvement in the travel experience (after my giddy reaction the the document pocket) happened at the security checkpoint. Rather than having to empty all my gadgets out of my pockets, I was able to simply place the jacket on the conveyor and proceed through to the other side. A small inconvenience avoided, but with so many hassles assaulting you when trying to fly, any relief is appreciated. A bit of serendipity hit then as I was unexpectedly moved to an exit row. On a 777, this means I got all the legroom I wanted, but I had no underseat stowage area for my carryons. All had to go up in the overhead. With the Transformer, I had my iPhone, standard and high end earbuds, pen and pencil, bottle of water, and Kindle Fire right there with me in the seat. I had to maneuver the tablet a bit to miss the seatbelt and not get pinched on the armrest, but everything fit and accompanied me on my way. Unfortunately, inflight temperatures vary greatly on a flight that long, and it did get too hot to keep the vest on, but its case was made… with no ready access to my backpack or even a seatback pocket in front of me, I still had all the gear I needed to keep me busy and entertained there in my immediate location. Upon returning home, I found an unexpected issue with the Transformer. A possible scare with bedbugs in the hotel had me washing every single article of clothing I brought back with me as soon as I returned home. A word of warning to all potential users of the SCOTTEVEST Transformer: all those pockets make if VERY easy to miss something in them before it goes in the wash. In my case it was just my used boarding passes and baggage claim tags, but had it been something electronic, it could have been a very expensive washing. SCOTTEVEST Transformer: Final Thoughts The Transformer addresses some real needs of the traveling geek. The ability to carry so much on your person without needing an additional bag or looking like the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man is quite liberating. The careful thought put into specific device placement and accessibility elevate this above the standard fishing vest or other heavily pocketed article of clothing. Not everyone will need this… some get by with fewer gadgets on their person and never have a concern about it. For those who want access to their toys more of the time, this could be a real boon. In addition the ease of removal of those sleeves increases the number of scenarios in which this would work. TSA guidelines in the Post-9/11 era complicate getting through security, and the growing cost of baggage fees drive more people to carry more things with them on the plane. Space and in-flight accessibility take big hits as more bags are crammed into the cabin, and for the truly unlucky, their carryon may have to be checked because there is simply no room left for it. Some airports actually weigh your carryons as well as your checked bags. In those cases, the Transformer could actually save you time going through security and money if it eliminates or lightens a bag from your complement of luggage. That is no small feat. 81 Shares Google+ 56 Twitter 0 Facebook 25 LinkedIn 0 Reddit 0 Pin It Share 0 Buffer 0 81 Shares × 6 Responses Genda July 22, 2012 @kdub – That's interesting, because this guy is a lawyer, and he went into that with eyes wide open. During the show not only was he insufferable, but he revealed himself to be a patent troll. That's the reason I made the judgement that I did. Him acting like he didn't know what the deal was going to be in his statement on his website is indicative that he may also be disingenuous (shocking from a lawyer I know) or dumb, because how could you go into a negotiation with real people of that caliber with stuff at stake and not know or anticipate what the possible outcomes might be. I appreciate that he has his point of view in his prepared statement, that doesn't change my opinion of him one bit. He acted like an insufferable jerk and a patent troll, and I believe that is who and what he is. I don't have any new information that would make me think anything different. I'm not a tech buyer at this stage of my life so what I think isn't of any real consequence, I'm just a guy. But I felt strongly enough about it that I wanted to say it in a public forum. And now I have. Genda July 22, 2012 I should also mention that I found the article to be well written and fair about the product. That's not what my opinion is about at all. Sorry that I derailed. kdub July 21, 2012 To Genda, for what it's worth, I only read this article because I went to high school with the author. I'm not the target consumer for this product — not in the least — and I had no idea what Shark Tank is, so I looked it up. This might be of interest to you: http://www.scottevest.com/company/shark_tank.shtml Genda July 21, 2012 I saw this guy on Shark Tank, and honestly he came across as such an incredible Delta Bravo that I couldn't bring myself to give him a nickel. The product may be good but I try to do business with people I can respect and who treat others with respect. This guy doesn't fall into that category. SCOTTEVEST, Inc. July 21, 2012 Thank you for such an honest review of the Transformer! You really went into great detail over every aspect of the jacket. Thanks for sharing!

'Nebraska' (11/22)
Courtesy Paramount Pictures
Bruce Dern, 77, delivers a career-capping performance as Woody, a boozy, brain- addled geezer hoping to cash in on a bogus sweepstakes prize. Shooting in black-and-white, director Alexander Payne gives a muscular poetry to this road movie as Woody and his younger son (an outstanding Will Forte) ignore the hilarious insults of Woody's wife (supreme scene-stealer June Squibb) and drive to Omaha to claim the cash. In this movie without an ounce of bullshit in it, nothing and everything happens.

There may be no compromise short of a roster overhaul that can save a divided Lakers Nation from its biggest worry heading into 2013.
There may be no compromise short of a roster overhaul that can save a divided Lakers Nation from its biggest worry heading into 2013.
You know, the physical cliff.
The Lakers are Paleolithic by NBA standards, with an average age of 28.4. Three of their starters are already in need of retirement-benefits advisors: Pau Gasol is 32, Kobe Bryant is 34 and Steve Nash turns 39 next month.
With advancing age come not only wear-and-tear injuries (see Gasol's knees, assorted Bryant body parts) but wear-you-out nights like the one the Lakers experienced Tuesday in losing to Philadelphia. The younger and feistier 76ers made everyone wearing purple and gold resemble old-timey characters out of a faded black-and-white photo.
"When we have games like that, everything's an uphill battle for us," Bryant said after scoring 36 points in the Lakers' 103-99 loss. "When we play fresh, when we play energized, we're a completely, completely different team."
Perhaps the most disturbing component of the Lakers' sluggish play was that they were coming off a three-day layoff. They essentially extended it to four.
"Everyone should have had their legs," Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni said.
They didn't always use them.
Dwight Howard mostly stood around on offense. He took seven shots, the only one that fell through the net doing so midway through the third quarter.
Gasol's jumper was flat, the 7-footer making only two of 12 shots and routinely being beaten to the basket by his 76ers counterparts.
"We just didn't keep our activity level as high as we needed to in key moments and they got too many wide-open looks at our basket," Gasol said, "so we just need to stay consistent at that end of the floor just in case we miss shots."
Gasol suggested that the Lakers should adopt an older-but-wiser approach to compensate for their energy deficiencies.
"We're not the most athletic team in the league, we know that," he said. "But we are experienced and we should create some energy for ourselves out there, and I think it starts by us talking to each other, by communicating and by letting our teammate know that we're there. That will create some energy that we need on that end of the floor."
The Lakers with the most pep Tuesday also happened to be two of the youngest. Forward Jordan Hill, 25, scored eight quick points in the first quarter while exhibiting plenty of activity around the basket, and guard Jodie Meeks, also 25, delivered a pair of second-quarter highlights with a reverse dunk and an over-the-shoulder flip-in.
"Jordan and Jodie both played hard," D'Antoni said. "But that shouldn't be an exception. Everybody should play like that."
Forward Metta World Peace, 33, doesn't accept the age-old age explanation for his team's listlessness.
"That's no excuse, because the [New York] Knicks are playing great," World Peace said, referring to the NBA's oldest team. "You can't use that as an excuse for us. Thanks for trying."
The Lakers' latest loss left World Peace to do some explaining on a different front.
He had predicted before the season that the Lakers would eclipse the Chicago Bulls' regular-season record of 72 victories. That quickly became impossible after the Lakers' slow start, but it didn't prevent World Peace from saying Monday that his team would match the 1995-96 Bulls' winning percentage of 87.8% the rest of the season now that all of its key players are back from injuries.
To do that after losing to Philadelphia on Tuesday, the Lakers would have to go 45-6 the rest of the season. Good luck with that.
"We're not worried about it," World Peace. "We've done impossible things before."
Getting younger would top them all.
