Patricia Schultz is a well-traveled woman. She single-handedly launched the mini-industry of travel list books with her 2003 #1 New York Times bestseller, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler's Life List (Workman), which has sold more than 2.8 million copies and translated into 28 languages. Since then, she's written a sequel, 1,000 Places to see in the USA and Canada Before You Die, produced a Travel Channel show based on the concept, and was named (as of this week) by Forbes as one of the 25 most influential women in travel.
She was recently a panel member for ABC's Good Morning America, a judge in selecting the 7 New Wonders of America, and a seasoned writer for Frommer's, BusinessWeek, "O"prah, Islands and Real Simple. Her next book of the series is in the works.
Read part 1 here and part 2 here.
Her publisher, Workman, has kindly offered to give away five book copies and two calendars of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die to Gadling readers (shipping included). See the end of the part 1 interview for details on how you can win.
What projects are on your plate right now? Can we expect more in this series?
I am doing lots of magazine writing and book-touring and I speak at a lot of events. I also just had my apartment painted – the paint has been dry for 4 months now and I still haven't found the time to move back in and unpack. I think it's time.
A third book? Maybe! Stay tuned!
What are three over-rated destinations?
Travel is a very personal thing and what might be a great destination for one, can be a trip from hell for the next person. My friend would rather stay home and watch Seinfield reruns than go toLas Vegas, where she's never been. What?! I think Vegas is a wild only-in-America oasis of incredible talent (Bette Midler! Cirque de Soleil! Barry Manilow!), neon palaces of gaming 24/7 and a roster of restaurants for all palates and budgets. Throw in a sidetrip to the Grand Canyon and you can go home a happy camper. Would I go regularly? No, but a first-time jolt is great fun.
I think the classic beach vacation is overrated – one gorgeous Caribbean beach is not terribly different from one in Mauritius. What sets them apart as memorable experiences is renting a motor scooter to zip around the island and visit the fish markets, eat at a roadside shack and hang with the islanders over a local beer. So it surprises me that a good number of folks never leave their hotel compounds (which can be very gorgeous but have become very homogenized over the years) to venture beyond the rarified world they pay so handsomely to visit. Not discover some of the local color just beyond those gates? You may as well sit and bake in your own backyard, and save yourself the air fare.
Another kind of vacation that has me scratching my head are the regular and routine returns to the same destinations year after year….after year. I understand the importance of family traditions and being lucky enough to find some place (St. Croix, Cape Cod, the family cabin) you know will always be welcoming and unchanged from one visit to the next. But, hey, what about the other 98% of the world? Do you really want to die an authority on St. Croix?
What's your stance on visiting despotic countries like Burma or Iran or North Korea? Go for it?
I try never to politicize travel and think it is paramount to understand that the people of a country are not their government (the US might be a good place for foreigners to put that to the test). I was in Burma (Myanmar) in April, just weeks before the cyclone did such devastating damage to a country whose people have so little to begin with. Our guide was a lovely young (and very up-beat) lady who was surprisingly worldly considering she had never left her country. She had taught herself to speak extremely good English, Spanish and Japanese so she could communicate with the people who come to visit Burma. In her lifetime she is afraid she will never have the chance to experience the world outside her borders: she hopes to know the world through those who visit her country. "Burma is its people, not its junta" she told me. "Please tell your friends to come and visit us." How could you not?
Do you believe there are any "undiscovered" sites out there, places that are off the radar of even the seasoned traveler? Spill the beans on a few for us?
I think there are millions of them, most of them underrated because they are under our nose – the lesser visited islands in the Caribbean, for example, like Culebra, Dominica, Los Roques or Saba. For those who think Europe is so "done," ask the hotel staff behind the desk to suggest a town worth an afternoon visit – it may not be an "undiscovered" place to them, but it will be to you. Or consider the peripheral countries of Europe that are new on our radar – Romania, Slovenia, or the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania among others.
I recently visited Zagreb and Split in Croatia (and all the tiny towns in between) – they are not on the average American's Short List, but the Europeans have been onto them for centuries.
On a more exotic, far-flung note, I visited the northern reaches of Namibia (a country "undiscovered" by Americans until Brad and Angelina put it on the map) near the border with Angola, where we visited the Nimba tribe. We may not have been the first white non-Africans they'd seen, but we were close. We brought soccer balls and a massive bag of rice as a gift to the community. I try to wear my respect on my forehead and hope to never wear out my welcome.
What was your last trip?
I just finished a brief Book Tour to promote 1000 Places To See in the USA & Canada Before You Die – a series of short but great stays in some of my favorite American cities such as Nashville (I caught George Jones at the Ryman Auditorium and spent an evening at the Grand Ole Opry), Memphis (glad to see Graceland has not changed, nor have the ribs at the Rendezvous), and Vegas where we rented a car and drove to Sedona Az and saw The Grand Canyon during a May m
ini-blizzard of 18 inches! I was also reminded that stargazing in the American desert is second to none.
I know people always like to hear that I have just returned from Ghana, or Buenos Aires, but in fact I travel a lot in the US as well, and find it can be every bit as rewarding, and surprising.
What's your next trip?
My next "big" trips are in the fall – Greece in September, the Baltic states in October and the Arabian Gulf nations in November. I was in Oman in 1978 – I'm curious to see what has changed!
What is the one place you haven't yet made it to (and why?) that's tops on your list?
My Short List is very long, but one might be the Torres del Paine national park in the southernmost reaches of Chile – wild, pristine, dramatic. And from there, I'd take an extension to Antarctica. It's a big and costly trip, and those are the ones where you need to allot a big chunk of time and money. I think most travel is about time and money – there's no doubt it takes lots of planning and saving.
But there is no guarantee we'll be around next year – or tomorrow! So Carpe Diem! Life is short – get off the couch.

Walking under a banner advertising a new bistro in downtown Brooksville, I saw signs of a great old building's restoration:
Exposed brick walls, tin ceilings and a tile entrance from Chelf's drugstore, the first business to occupy this space on N Broad Street.
I saw ambitious plans coming to life:
The owners of the restaurant, G.M.'s Bistro, plan to open next month with a menu including crepes for breakfast, tapas during happy hour and dinners built around locally grown vegetables, fresh seafood and Black Angus beef.
Most of all, I saw hope.
I mean hope for advocates of downtown redevelopment who have long viewed a destination restaurant — especially one open in the evenings — as the Holy Grail.
It could show off the distinguished and long underused Jennings Building, a tall, 93-year-old brick structure across the street from the Hernando County Courthouse.
It could (and this, admittedly, is a big hope) do for Brooksville what Lunch on Limoges has done for Dade City: draw a stream of visitors who will disperse into nearby antique stores, boutiques and, eventually, other bars and restaurants that open to catch the spillover.
"It could be a destination location, where they come in and then go on to find other things to do downtown,'' said Brooksville community development director Bill Geiger.
"It's a great thing.''
More selfishly, I saw reason to hope that Brooksville might finally have a restaurant with food, atmosphere and a wine list good enough to build an evening around.
Though there is healthy competition for the following distinction, it's my opinion that the lack of such an establishment is the most gaping hole in the cultural life of Brooksville.
Please don't think I don't like or appreciate Brooksville. I just want a better option for a night out than Applebee's — a so-called Neighborhood Grill & Bar created in corporate headquarters in Overland Park, Kan.
G.M.'s Bistro executive chef and co-owner Udi Mekler, on the other hand, actually is a neighbor. A native of Israel and a longtime chef in Broward County, he moved into a house on Lemon Avenue eight months ago.
He was seeking a quieter life for his wife and 6-year-old daughter, and, to support this new lifestyle, a business opportunity — which is how he found James Tsacrios already hard at work on the bistro.
"G" and "M" are the initials of Tsacrios' grandfather, George Maillis, a Greek immigrant who parlayed a fruit stand on Main Street into ownership of both a grocery, which took over Chelf's space in the 1920s, and the Jennings Building itself.
The building is named after another local dynamo, J.A. Jennings, the first president of Hernando State Bank (now SunTrust Bank/Nature Coast), a three-term county commissioner and a former sheriff, said Bob Martinez, publisher of Old Brooksville in Photos and Stories.
Maillis passed the building on to his daughter, Katherine Tsacrios, who lives in Pinellas County, as does her son, James, 56, a contractor.
He built the bar out of cherrywood salvaged from a land-clearing operation. The tabletops are marble. The kitchen looks as clean and spacious as an operating theater, with high ceilings, tile walls and stainless steel fixtures.
In other words, Tsacrios has shown he has taste and resources, which is why I'm more optimistic about his project than some other restaurants that have promised great things for downtown.
I also like the way Mekler talks about the food he plans to serve: tapenade, a spread made from olives, parsley and roasted peppers; sandwiches with fresh mozzarella cheese; and potatoes cut and fried in the tradition of a French bistro.
"We're going to change the taste buds of Brooksville,'' Mekler said. "We're going to be a famous restaurant, known all over the region.''
Boy, I sure hope so.

Utah State's offense will be looking to stay the course and score points in 2012 under first-year coordinator Matt Wells, who is in his second season with the program after coaching the quarterbacks in his first year at his alma mater.
Wells was a three-year letterman for Utah State at quarterback from 1994-96 and earned his bachelor's degree in business marketing.
During the 2011 season, Utah State's high-octane spread offense was statistically one of the best in the country as it led the Western Athletic Conference and ranked sixth in the nation in rushing yards per game (282.69). USU also ranked first in the WAC and 18th in the nation in passing efficiency (151.8), first in the WAC and 23rd in the nation in points per game (33.62), second in the WAC and 20th in the nation in total yards per game (457.31) and second in the WAC and 33rd in the nation in fewest sacks allowed per game (1.38).
Utah State also established school records for total offense (5,945 yards), rushing yards (3,675), total points (437) and total touchdowns (60) during the 2011 campaign.
With just over two weeks until Utah State kicks off the 2012 season at home against Southern Utah on Aug. 30, Wells spent a few minutes talking about the upcoming season and what Aggie fans can expect from the USU offense this fall.
What is it like for you, a former Aggie player, to be not only a coach at Utah State, but the team's offensive coordinator?
"I think it's a blessing. It's an extreme honor to know that Coach (Gary) Andersen has trusted me with that. It's an honor anywhere, but it's extra special to be at your alma mater. There's an added incentive and added pressure, but no more pressure than I throw at myself. It's comforting to know, when you have great players and a great staff around you, that it's got a chance to be an exciting offense."
Talk about your transition to offensive coordinator this year and how that has been for you.
"It's been smooth. Aided by being in this offense for two years now under both Coach (Dave) Baldwin and Coach Andersen, we've tweaked it and changed it a little bit, but the nuts and bolts of it are the same. It's something I've been around and been familiar with, so we're just trying to mold it and make it fit with the young men we have and their talent."
Talk about your relationship with assistant coach Mike Sanford and how his background as both a head coach and offensive coordinator will help you.
"Coach Sanford has been great, better than I hoped for, and better than advertised when you talk to other coaches around the country. He's been extremely supportive, really insightful to techniques and schematic things that we're doing, just based on his background. He's been a tremendous support for me."
What is your offensive philosophy going to be at Utah State?
"Score points."
What can Aggie fans expect from a Matt Wells-coached offense?
"Hopefully that we're fun to watch; we're exciting, that we're explosive, that we take calculated risks. But more than anything that we give our players the chance to be successful and use their talents to the fullest. Hopefully, that will translate into a lot more wins."
Will fans see a different Utah State offense this year, as opposed to previous years under coach Andersen where USU ran the ball the majority of the time, especially without Robert Turbin and Michael Smith?
"You'd see a different offense no matter who the coordinator is just because the personnel is changing. As our team changes and the people change, hopefully we're smart enough as coaches to put them in positions where they can be successful. It will be a little bit of a change, but most of that is personnel change."
"The biggest key in the passing game is timing and familiarity. When you have two returning quarterbacks (Chuckie Keeton and Adam Kennedy) who have been in the system, been through the off-season and two summers together and you have a lot of returning receivers, hopefully that breeds confidence and familiarity. That should create a better timing and awareness of where is going to be. We have that; our kids have gone through that together. Those two quarterbacks are very stingy with the football and that's something that we preach. I'd rather see it five rows deep in the stands than up for grabs. As we continue to work on that, hopefully we become more explosive in the passing game."
Talk about the quarterback situation. You have two talented, proven starting quarterbacks at your disposal. How will that dynamic be handled this year?
"It's been great. It basically picked up where it did last fall and spring. They're both tremendous young men, and they handle the whole situation perfectly. They're very supportive of each other and tremendous to have not only as players, but as ambassadors for the university."
As we start camp, is there an area offensively that jumps out at you or has surprised you?
"It's still early. I think we're going to be able to run the ball between the tackles a little bit better than I expected. I think we'll continue to use the talent of our backs as they grow and mature in their skill development."
What are the challenges offensively when playing other WAC schools?
"I think the challenge is just to continue to stay ahead of the curve. As you go deeper into conference play, your resume or your offense and your tendencies start to build up over video, so hopefully you've been successful. You know what's successful and can continue to do the same things, but change it up, maybe with a different personnel group. I like to say different icing on the cake. You're still doing the things that are successful, but you're hiding it or masking your intentions a little bit."
Offensively, are there goals or percentages that you are looking toward on a game-by-game basis?
"First of all, we want to be in the top three in the WAC in every category. The biggest thing is throwing the ball and having a really high completion percentage, so that translates over into our quarterback rating and touchdown-interception ratio. The biggest thing we can improve on is taking care of the football and continuing to be balanced."
Doug Hoffman is the assistant athletic director for Utah State University Athletic Media Relations.

…But Why "Pooh," Of All Things???
The first chapter of "Winnie-the-Pooh" explains why Winnie-the-Pooh is often called simply "Pooh": "whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think – but I am not sure – that is why he is always called Pooh." In real life, Christopher Robin Milne had named his toy bear after "Winnie," a Canadian black bear which he often saw at the London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met while on vacation.

|Thyroid Hormone-Induced Lipolysis: An In Vivo Microdialysis Study
|Brief Summary
This study will use a technique called microperfusion to examine how thyroid hormones are involved in fat metabolism. The thyroid gland produces two kinds of hormones: T3 and T4. Some of the T4 is changed to T3 in various organs after leaving the thyroid. The T3 stimulates the body to burn fat. People have different rates at which they can change T4 to T3, and this may lead to differences in body fat among different people.
Microperfusion is based on the exchange of substances across tiny holes of a small plastic tube called a "probe," which is inserted after numbing the skin over a fat pad. Through these openings, the fat pad is continuously rinsed with small amounts of fluid, and an exchange of substances occurs. The fluid drips from the other opening of the probe and is collected in a vial. Small amounts of study drugs are infused and the amount of substances released by the fat pad in response to them are measured.
Healthy normal volunteers 18 years of age and older may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination and blood tests.
Participants undergo microperfusion. A needle is placed in an arm vein for collecting blood samples before and at the end of the experiment for measuring thyroid hormones and other substances in the blood. The skin over the fat pad next to the umbilicus (navel) is numbed and two microperfusion probes are inserted. A salt water solution is infused into the fat pad for one hour and the substances in the fluid are measured as the fluid leaves the fat pad. After 1 hour isoproterenol, a drug that aids in energy production by fat, is added to help determine the level of fat metabolism. After an additional hour small amounts of thyroid hormone are added to the fluid and samples are collected as they leave the body. Two catheters are inserted during each experiment. Small volumes of sterile fluid are circulated continuously in the tubing and samples are collected at regular intervals.
|Detailed Description
This study will examine how two thyroid preparations, levothyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3), affect subcutaneous adipose tissue in normal subjects. Thyroid hormone plays an important role in the maintenance of energy metabolism. Specifically, hyperthyroidism is associated with weight loss via an increase in metabolic rate and lipolysis. While this phenomenon has been studied in vitro quite extensively, very little information is available on the local action of thyroid hormone on adipose tissue in vivo and, in particular, at the present no information is available on the role of peripheral conversion of thyroid hormone in subcutaneous adipose tissue. We thus propose to study the local action of thyroid hormones on adipose tissue using microdialysis, a minimally invasive technique that allows the serial determination of components of the extracellular fluid. The measurement of glycerol after correction for changes in blood flow will be used to evaluate the effects of the thyroid hormones on local lipolysis.
Healthy volunteers 18 years of age and older may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood tests. Subjects with hyperlipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes and thyroid disease are not eligible for the participation in this study. Qualifying study participants undergo subcutaneous fat tissue microdialysis to assess the effects of T3 and T4 on the activity of fat tissue. The medications isoproterenol and T3 or T4 are injected in fat tissue under the skin of the abdomen, and fluid samples are collected from the area over a 6-12 hour period using the same small needle. Glycerol is then measured to study how the thyroid hormones affect fat metabolism. During this procedure a 10% glucose solution is infused through the catheter in the arm to limit lipolysis due to fasting. Four different sets of experiments are performed with different thyroid hormone doses and/or durations.
These experiments will provide new information on the role of thyroid hormone in the regulation of adipose tissue metabolism and will help in identifying new treatments for the management of obesity.

Facebook Changes Its Newsfeed Algorithm To Reduce Clickbait Headlines
Facebook announced they are adding "Qualitative" elements to the News Feed experience, which should decrease the amount of clickbait and unwanted posts you see everyday.
Facebook announced a new approach to the News Feed, which will soon rely on things other than likes, comments, clicks, and shares. While these actions are a major component of Facebook's success, there is more to the equation than direct engagements.
Facebook said in their announcement, "people reported having a better News Feed experience when the stories they see at the top are stories they are both likely to rate highly if asked and likely to engage with."
This update means clickbait and headlines that call for likes will not perform as well on Facebook, which makes the News Feed experience more positive and authentic. The key for advertisers will be to strike a balance between the rate at which posts are clicked, and how much people want to see your stories.
That's for marketers to determine based on their audience, and also using the Page post best practices provided by Facebook.
As these changes begin to take effect, Facebook encourages users to look at their News Feed Best Practices page and visit the News, Media and Publishing Facebook group.

Calgary teacher to stay in Indonesia prison over sexual assault claims
CALGARY- A former Calgary teacher who has been imprisoned in Indonesia has been ordered to remain behind bars for at least another 40 days.
Neil Bantleman taught at Webber Academy before moving to Asia to teach at the Jakarta International School. In mid-July, he was taken into custody after the family of a kindergarten student alleged the child was drugged and molested. A $125 million lawsuit was launched, and two additional alleged victims have come forward.
Cleaning staff were initially accused, but now Bantleman and a teacher's aide are behind bars despite no charges being laid.
On Friday, Bantleman's former employer Neil Webber confirmed reports that Jakarta police have extended the pair's detention to give them more time to investigate.
READ MORE: Wife of teacher jailed in Indonesia says his human rights are being violated
Bantleman's family, friends and former colleagues maintain his innocence, and a letter-writing campaign directed at Canada's foreign affairs minister is underway.
"John Baird, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is on this case and will be making strong representation," says Calgary MP Joan Crockatt. "I've called for him to be released immediately in the absence of any charges or evidence, and we are certainly hopeful that will occur with pressure."
A number of candlelight vigils were also held on Thursday night in several Canadian cities, in support of Bantleman.

Tycoon's son sues for dad's black book
In the latest twist to the fight over the wealth of Henry Fok Ying-tung, the late tycoon's third son is suing his elder brother Timothy Fok Tsun-ting for keeping a 'black book' containing their father's financial records.
In the third such writ that Benjamin Fok Chun-yue, an executor of Henry Fok's estate, has filed in the High Court, he says Timothy Fok, a Legco member for the functional constituency of sports, performing arts, culture and publications, is holding the book in which their late father kept records of his assets and other information.
Benjamin Fok says in the court filing that their father used to keep the record book in a briefcase. After the tycoon's death, he alleges, Timothy Fok removed the book and had refused to hand it over despite repeated requests.
Henry Fok, who made massive investments in the mainland and rose to be a vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, died of cancer aged 83 in 2006. He was married three times, had 13 children, and had wealth estimated at US$3.7 billion in 2006.
Benjamin is asking his brother to return the book or swear an affidavit to confirm that he no longer has or has control of it and to explain what has become of it.
The latest claim comes after a bid by Benjamin Fok in December to dislodge another elder brother, the businessman and Silver Bauhinia Star winner Ian Fok Chun-wan, and his father's 85-year-old sister from their role as executors of the estate.
Timothy, Ian and Benjamin are respectively the second, third and fifth children of Henry Fok's first family. Ian, Benjamin and their aunt Fok Mo-kan were the executors and trustees of the tycoon's estate.
In the latest court document, Benjamin Fok also renews his allegation that Ian Fok distributed and took assets from the estate without the knowledge or consent of the other executors, and failed to provide the information and authorisations needed for the proper administration of the estate.
Benjamin Fok is trying to recover from Ian the shareholding of several offshore companies, the assets in offshore bank accounts and shares in Henry Fok Estates, a company which is part of the late tycoon's business empire and asset base.
According to the court documents, Ian Fok claimed he paid for 350 ordinary shares in Henry Fok Estates. But Benjamin says the shares are held by a company of which the three brothers are shareholders and directors.
Benjamin also says in 2008 Ian transferred HK$53 million from three overseas bank accounts in the joint name of Ian and their father to Ian's personal accounts.
Another allegation is that Ian Fok has given Henry Fok's second and third families HK$509 million and failed to provide the executor of the estate with access to jewellery, valuable artefacts and antique furniture worth HK$90 million.
The writ seeking to remove Ian and the aunt from being the executor of the estate will be heard on April 23 for a summary judgment. No timetable has been set for hearing the other two writs.

Body found in C&O Canal in Georgetown
D.C. police are investigating after finding a body in the C&O Canal in Georgetown.
Police say they received a call reporting a body on the edge of the canal near several popular restaurants.
Police are not sharing many details about this case, but they say it's an unidentified female and it's still too early to determine the cause of death or how the body ended up in the canal.
It's also unclear if this death investigation is related to a call D.C. Fire received last night, reporting a person in the canal possibly swimming.
First responders searched the canal around 7 p.m. Friday night after getting a call reporting a person in the water near 30th Street NW.
But their search turned up nothing.
Saturday morning, a body was spotted around 10:30 a.m., half-submerged in the canal, behind the House of Sweden.
The investigation attracted dozens of tourists, curious and shocked to see a police investigation in the heart of Georgetown.
Nearby, the canal feeds into the Potomac River, which is often busy with local rowing crews. But they say the canal is usually empty.
After collecting evidence, police removed the body.
And bystanders were left wondering what happened here.
By mid-day, the area was re-opened to the public.
Police will work to determine the woman's identity.
And the medical examiner will perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Chief executive Grant McKavanagh says NZF is looking to make a decision "sooner rather than later" and the two options - Auckland's Eden Park and Wellington's Westpac Stadium - both have strengths.
New Zealand's yet-to-be-decided opponent will be the fourth-placed team from CONCACAF, where Costa Rica, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama and USA are vying for three automatic qualifying places.
While stadium size is obviously important, McKavanagh says other factors must also be considered.
"We've got to give the team the best opportunity to win, so we're certainly taking into account their opinions on where they'd like to play," he told NZ Newswire.
"Really, the major difference between the stadiums is one has size and one has history."
Eden Park has a capacity of 50,000 and while Westpac Stadium holds a more modest 34,000, it also hosted the All Whites' historic 1-0 win over Bahrain to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
"We've seen before in Wellington that it can be exceptionally successful," McKavanagh said.
"The challenge in Auckland of course is that sometimes the crowds don't come out, so there's a large risk profile around holding it in a large stadium."
The first match of the tie will be played in the CONCACAF country on 13 or 14 November, with the return leg scheduled for 20 November in a midweek fixture McKavanagh says will bring a different dynamic.
He said the game had to be looked at from a competitive point of view as well as an operational perspective.
"The size of the prize if we do get through to the World Cup is very large," he said.
"There is the financial reward on the day, but the other one is a financial reward which is a lot larger and will essentially enable New Zealand Football to go ahead for the next five years with a relative amount of security."

The move comes one week after Microsoft announced it had acquired R2 Studios, a company focused on developing home automation technology, from Krikorian. Charlie Ergen's EchoStar acquired Sling Media in 2007, and corporate sibling Dish Network (Nasdaq: DISH) markets the company's place-shifting technology to its satellite TV subscribers.
Krikorian is an executive with experience that could help Microsoft build new versions of its Xbox consoles that incorporate features found in advanced digital cable and satellite set-tops. He may also be able to help Microsoft sell set-top software to multichannel providers.
Krikorian is a "proven innovator and well-respected leader in both the media and technology industries," Marc Whitten, chief product officer for IEB, said in Thursday's announcement. "We look forward to his contribution to our team as Xbox continues to evolve and transform the games and entertainment landscape," he added.

" Genre: Blues / Artist: Junior Wells / CD released 2008-10-31 at Delmark Records "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Whilst blues definitely has its fair share of gravelly type singers, it also has its fair share of smoother types. Junior Wells definitely has a somewhat more soul-like voice. Junior Wells was taught by the great Sonny Boy Williamson and began featuring in Chicago based bands in the early 50s, originally replacing Little Walter in Muddy Waters band due to his awesome harmonica playing. An accomplished singer to boot, it would not be until 1965 and the second wave of interest in blues music that he released his first LP with his Chicago Blues band featuring Buddy Guy.
A lot of listeners often say that it's Buddy Guy's best work, that's a tough thing to call considering the great work he's come out with but it's definitely my favourite album by Junior Wells, some of the tracks are rather slow and run at a pace parallel to relaxed jazz or even modern day trip hop, a great example of this is "The Wee Hours" where every pluck of the guitar strings and breath on the harmonica is emphasised by the song's slow pace.
Much later in the album "Yonder Wall" is somewhat more aggressive in both guitar playing and singing but retains a similar pace, on a modern day release you'd be finding filler tracks by the 12th track on the album but this happens to be one of my favourite tracks on the album and definitely talks volumes for the quality of the album.
In some ways the album comes out like a giant jam due to the easy flow of harmonica and guitar combination, the artist seems to fly through classics like "Hey Lawdy Mama", the title-track "Hoodoo Man Blues" and the wonderfully upbeat "You Don't Love Me Baby".
The album is a bit dearer than a lot of compilations of either artist but the sound quality is top notch and it's definitely a top notch blues album that's worth splashing out that little extra on, let's face it at £6.99, you don't need Abramovich's money to buy it.

The Golden Ink Knife Award...Don't Get Yours Caught in the Rollers!
Once upon a time, I actually tried to print a job on an offset press. It resulted in me being presented with The Golden Ink Knife Award. This was a plaque made with an ink knife mounted to it, rolled in ink and gold thermography powder, and then run through a thermographer. The short story is that I got that ink knife caught in the rollers of the press and was never able to finish the job. I had to call one of our two press operators who were both home sick with the "Monday flu" to come and bail me out. Later, our production staff presented me with that plaque and made me promise to never again touch one of our presses. It was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
So why share this somewhat embarrassing story? Well, it taught me a valuable lesson. It was only two months after opening our print center in Colorado Springs. I had been out selling most of the time. Having pretty good success those first two months, we ramped up fast. I thought I could do it all and fill in for the sick press operator. The result taught me a valuable lesson. Do the things you do well, and don't try to step in an area where you lack the skills to fill.
Too often during my career, I have known and consulted with owners who spend too much of their time doing work that they would have been better off hiring talent to do. In some cases, they did it because they liked to do it. In other cases, they were not willing to spend the money to hire good talent.
The moral of the story is, "Don't get your ink knife caught in the rollers." Don't get in the habit of spending time on things that you do not have the skills to do or that are not productive in growing your business. In today's competitive environment, owners need to spend the lion's share of their time building customer relationships and "chasing business." You can hire the talent to do the other work, and landing new business is what will dictate success. Owners must be involved in that part of the business if they are to succeed in the high calling of their business lives.
Carl and his wife, Judy, owned and operated their own successful Allegra franchise for nearly 20 years before selling the $2.3 million operation in 2003. He is a PrintImage International/NAQP Honorary Lifetime Member and was inducted into NAPL's prestigious Soderstrom Society in 2010 in recognition of his contribution to the industry.
Andre Palko
Great lesson. Another tool that's helped me over the years is to assign a dollar value to my time. If I find myself working on something that can be delegated or outsourced for less, I make it a point to make that happen. It keeps me focused on my "high calling" and I have an accountability coach to keep me honest!

Porn Sword Tobacco is actually a pseudonym for one Henrik Jonsson, a Swedish artist who has been gracing the world with his take on ambience for a little over three years now. New Exclusive Olympic Heights is his third release, and it continues the Porn Sword Tobacco tradition of finding the beauty in found sounds amongst traditional electronic ambient compositions. Varied in its approach though conservative in its execution, New Exclusive Olympic Heights is at turns beautiful and off-putting, engaging and boring. Jonsson's musical thoughts rarely surpass the three-minute mark. This brevity, as a feature of an ambient album, works both for it and against it. For one, the few-and-far-between boring tracks (such as the random melodic experimentation of "Den Rosa Sporten") are passed over quickly, hardly worthy of a scoff despite their laziness. Conversely, of course, it's easy to want some of the stronger songs to last longer. "En Hyllning Till Cyckeln" is a pretty little bit of "Moonlight Sonata"-esque piano playing, the type of thing you could get lost in for ten minutes, making its sub-two-minute run time feel maliciously brief. A glimpse of what could be is offered in the relaxed beats and clear synth tones of "Giftwrap Yourself, Slowly", a fantastic track that offers a five-minute silk cocoon that never becomes tiresome. There's no denying Jonsson's skill throughout New Exclusive Olympic Heights. What the album needs, however, are fewer ideas and more compositions.

A MOTHER and her three children were taken to hospital after an evening blaze in North Lanarkshire.
The incident at Derby Wynd in Carfin happened on Wednesday at around 8.40pm.
Two emergency crews rushed to the scene to find the blaze had taken hold of the living room in the family home.
Firefighters rescued the family and called for back-up from paramedics, before putting out the flames using a high pressure jet.
Station manager Thomas Sinton said crews "assisted a family who were suffering slight smoke inhalation and requested the attendance of our Scottish Ambulance Service colleagues, who determined the woman and three children should receive precautionary check-ups in hospital".
Firefighters checked for any signs of hidden fire spread, and ventilated the house using a pressure fan before leaving the site two hours later, at 10.30pm.

text: OK, I just want to get this out of my system. But we've played 1 game and that's probably not enough of a sample size to really know anything about what we've got with our team or what other teams have with theirs, but here are fears of mine... 1. The Colts actually suck this year. We're excited about beating the Colts because they've been the top dog of this division for a long time (except for a blip or two when the Titans have had good years.) But what if they really are suffering from the Super Bowl Loss Meltdown. What if they really suck this year and we just beat a sucky team and not the powerhouse we thought we beat? That would suck and devalue our thrashing of them and wouldn't be the springboard we think it is. I mean, personally, I think that's what's happening to Washington right now. They beat a sucky Dallas team that beat themselves and now Washington fans think the Redskins have turned the corner and beaten this great team and that it's a sign of greater things to come. But most of us are pretty sure that the Redskin fans are delusional because they really just barely beat a crappy team that just proves that they're able to be a crappy team at home. It would suck if we're the delusional ones. 2. Dennison broke our passing game. What if Kyle Shanahan's playcalling was the driving force behind Schaub's 4770 yard year and AJ's back to back 1500 yard years? What if Dennison is a hidebound run-first guy who fixes the run game but then can't dial up the right passing plays or doesn't have us coached up properly for our passing plays? That would suck. 3. The wheels fall off. I think we've all been torched too many times by this team playing a good watershed game only to come out flat and lose to someone and have that loss totally devalue our supposed watershed. (The Titan/Jax games last year and then the Titan/Raider games the year before.) 4. Our defensive line. What if our defensive line only looked good because of the injuries to Saturday and Johnson? In the preseason, our lines looked good but only against the Cards and the Cowboys (with injuries all across their O-Line.) What if we can't get that same sort of pressure against other, healthier teams? That would suck. 5. Our offensive line. Now, I don't expect our offensive line to look as dominant as they did against the Colts every week. But what if the success our offensive line had is just an illusion because of how bad the Colts front 7 is? What if we can't continue to do this against more talented or bigger fronts? That would suck. It will be very interesting to see how we do against the Redskins because that will give us some indication of how we're going to play against 3-4's this season.

Protectionists have sounded the familiar alarms over GE's joint venture with China's Avic, formalized during January's state visit to Washington by Chinese president Hu Jintao. The venture, an equal partnership between GE Aviation and Avic, will involve the development and marketing of integrated, open-architecture aviation electronic systems to the global commercial aerospace industry for new aircraft programs, according to GE. On the other hand, critics such as the Washington Post's Steven Pearlstein accuse GE of selling some of the "crown jewels" of U.S. technology for access to China's "rigged" market, jeopardizing America's competitive advantage in aerospace technology. Others, such as the right-wing blog Family Security Matters, insist the U.S. cannot trust the Chinese to honor agreements meant to prevent transfer of the technology for military purposes, and they've found a perfect symbol in the ominous images of the new Chinese J-20 stealth fighter to support their case. GE and Avic plan to collaborate on the central information system and backbone of the Comac C919's networks and electronics, meant to host the airplane's avionics, maintenance and utility functions. Under the plan, GE and Avic would continue to support their legacy programs and honor existing contracts with customers. Of course, the agreement remains subject to government approvals the likes of Pearlstein have called on President Barack Obama to block. Rather, they say, the U.S. should emulate the Chinese by offering subsidies and directed credit for local companies, adopting "buy-American" provisions for government agencies and government contractors, manipulating currency and adopting rules on "conditional market access" and "indigenous innovation." Ironically, the same conservative critics remain steadfastly opposed to what they regard as illegal subsidies at European airframer Airbus. For her part, GE Aviation Systems president Lorraine Bolsinger insisted that the partnership resulted from more than two years of consultation with "leading" trade and commerce experts to ensure intellectual property protection. More important, she said, the partnership's goal centers on the joint creation of intellectual property and its sale to customers around the world, not just China. GE estimates that its business with China already sustains 1,800 full-time jobs in the U.S., including 300 committed to the GE/Avic venture. In fact, U.S. aerospace suppliers see little choice but to engage with the world's second-largest economy. Chinese airlines now operate more than 2,500 jet engines produced by GE and its joint venture with Snecma, CFM International, and hold orders for another 1,000 engines on back order. In business with the Chinese aerospace industry since the mid-1980s, GE and, indeed, the likes of Boeing, already derive a large part of their revenues from the business the People's Republic generates.

Need All Cake Geniuses To Help W/ "pie Filling" Id
Decorating By Lemonydoodles Updated 29 Jun 2008 , 1:55am by luelue1971
I am going to be making some cupcakes for our family reunion coming up & after doing some searching and brainstorming myself I decided to make the cupcakes that look like mini cherry pies. I know most people who have recreated these put actual cherry pie filling (or any fruit filling) on the cake. The thing is I don't necessarily want to do that because some people in my family actually hate the taste of cherries (crazy, I know!) I was hoping I could get some ideas from y'all on how to do a "faux filling", lol. My initial thought was to ice it and the pipe some round balls of frosting and lightly glaze it w/ piping gel to give it that shiny look....but I have heard that piping gel tastes nasty & really hate to put that on if it will make my cupcake taste gross.....any suggestions? Thanks in advance if you even opened this up & read it............Have a great day!
There is a recipe in the recipe section for homemade piping gel. It's made with lemon juice and it's DELICIOUS. It sort of tastes like lemon italian ice
It takes color really well, so if you dyed it red it would be perfect... Have you considered using dondant for the cherries?
thanks for the suggestions ladies.... you would be surprised w/ what my family likes....they haven't been exposed to good cake until I started picking this up as a hobby....they request store bought cake all the time.
I have a cherry pie cake in my pics. I made the "filling" with the piping gel recipe mentioned above and rolled up rolled buttercream and put itin the piping gel for the filling.

Deaf academy's troubles stretch Mount Dora police thin

So the Mt. Dora police chief is telling the world his personnel can't handle a problem at NDA and another call in town at the same time? Good luck Mount Dora residents when this word is spread. And, if they can't handle the problems that arise at NDA, why did the city give them a business license? Come on. They (NDA) are fixing the problem. Work with them. And in the process don't shoot yourself in the foot!

there isn't a walmart in mt dora.
there is one in tavares... whoever wrote this article needs to check into their facts.

You are a dumbass, do you need a map, gps, or a new set of glasses???? Is Eudora Road in Tavares? I think you need moe brains, not moe green!
#6 Jun 23, 2009
during these times when budgets are stretched and cut backs are on the table the police need to work with the academy and the academy needs to do more to secure their facility, this article really makes the mount dora police look like a bunch of whiners. I now do wonder statistically where they spend the other parts of their time because the deaf academy averages just under 1 call per day and walmart's calls aren't exactly sucking up their time. Some things are left unsaid or you open yourselves up for critcism.
#7 Jun 23, 2009
Sure, and there is no Target neither!
#11 Jun 23, 2009
If u people had a clue what police actually do then u could comment ....undedicated patrol time is when they find the bad guys and yes Mt Dora has them it does but up to Orange County...Do a ride a long sometime ......Mt Dora PD keep up the good work...stop as many cars and people as u need to, to find out where the bad guys are i dont mind a 10 min traffic stop.
#13 Jun 23, 2009
Do as fire depts do and charge a business for repeat calls that can or should be handled by the staff. There is no excuse to use police officers as security guards or nursing assistants. Scoggins needs to stop sending officers for calls of this nature. By doing so, he is reinforcing the management to depend on local law enforcement and become lax in hiring enough staff.
#14 Jun 23, 2009
First off, only a few of the residents at NDA are "retards." Just wanted to clarify that for some of you who are throwing that offensive word around.
Secondly, NDA may not accepted "adjudicated" sex offenders, but they take sex offenders pre-adjudication or help them avoid adjudication. They have sexually aggressive patients there who have committed sex crimes. Those are some of the patients that get out or escape into the community.
NDA is a for-profit company. They should be providing their own security and properly trained staff, not calling the cops EVERYDAY and costing tax payers. The state licensing agencies should allow those staff to restrain patients,and put hands-on outside of the facility so the cops don't have to.
Let the cops be cops, not psych workers.
#15 Jun 23, 2009
They are escaping to go to Wal-Mart because all of the tards that use this facility know that K-MART s.u.c.k.s.
#16 Jun 23, 2009
Excuse me! These individuals are not "retards"...They are just exceptional individuals in need of help.
Sometimes we believe that Lake County is a paradise, but we have several social issues in the area. I really don't know if keep us isolated and out of progress will solve all the problems here.
Wao! I didn't know you guys had 12,000 residents at NDA. Maybe if you reduce the amount of participants, it would be easier for you. Good luck!
#17 Jun 23, 2009
I'm trying to remember when I ever heard ANYONE say that they thought Lake County was a paradise. I guess it is if you like doublewides and pickups.
#18 Jun 23, 2009
well.... looking at all these comments...
for someone of you who dont know what National Deaf Academy is...(NDA).. we have very aggressive residents or residents that go psycho.. we call the cops. I feel bad for the cops though.. there are other residents in mount dora who need police assistances and NDA just eats up the police's time. I work there and I hate it. Money talks. I need the money to pay my damn bills and the economy isnt much of help.
I wouldnt call them retards.. just they dont have the common senses. They just have "MY way or nothing" attitude. They want attention. They crave for attentions. Funny they are so bad in NDA but out the real world, most of them are just tad fine. I blame it on therapists for being lazy or spoiling them too much. Programs set up for them, HAHAHA! real world, do we have reward system? Do we have programs to help us stay calm? Basically, they are not preparing these residents for real life but a fanasty lives.
NDA sucks. and guess what? majority of the employees who work there have 2 or more jobs.. oh gee, i wonder why?? NDA will be down down bye bye.
(by the way, we do have target and walmart. TRUST me on this. I lived here for a few years and yes we do have them!)
#19 Jun 23, 2009
there are no consistence in that place. Rules change everyday. Staffs arent monitoring. Staffs are abusing their positions, taking advantages. Some administration staffs are covering up their mistakes and we pay the price.:-/
We need stronger administration, better supervision of staffs, SAME rules everyday. We need better communication. We need better ways of handling these residents.
Make it short: give NDA a major overhaul (makeover) and get rid of those staffs who dont do their jobs right, those who pull NDA down or covering up mistakes.
#20 Jun 23, 2009
So exactly how much tax money does Mt Dora and Lake county get from this 14 acre establishment ? Anyone know ? My guess is over 300K a year. So what are they asking in return ? Just do your job city cops, you charge enough in taxes. The NDA will work with you, what's the matter the children too tough for you ? I've been in there with the kids plenty. None of em tried to give me any crap, nor anyone else while I was visiting for 2 hours at a time. They are just kids in a lot of trouble. If you had to deal with life from their limited abilities, you'd certainly cut them every break you could. Buck up and work it out City Cops, Quit Whining !
#21 Jun 24, 2009
The way I look at it, it takes two to tangle. NDA has been there since 2002. If you pull up the graph on when the calls started increasing, it would prolly be its worst around 2008/2009. Considering that the place has went thru now 3 CEOs since its opening says something as well. An employee is only as good as its employer. From 2002 to prolly around 2006, the cops were BARELY getting called out there. There was a hands on policy. Then they tried to avoid paperwork by not having any more holds since they sold the company to a franchise. Been downhill since. Id like to know what the agreeement was between the City of Mount Dora (which includes the police dept) and the psychiatric hospital whenever they decided to make Mount Dora there home???
#22 Jun 25, 2009
NDA is a violent place to work. Period. Through the restrictions placed on the current staff by the parent company they are not, in any form, equiped to handle the behaviour that exists.
During my time there I witnessed the police (sometimes upwards to 5 officers) being occupied by on-site issues up to 5 hours. This, for whatever reason you wish to argue, does deplete the resources of the community.
The staff there is exposed to violent and sexually oriented behaviours regularlly and are ill equiped to handle them.
If you want to see this problem, and it is a problem, solved then encourage NDA and the local area to take these threats seriously. As residents of Mount Dora and Lake County you do not want physical and sexual agressors capable of walking out of the complex and into your homes. Encourge NDA, through your voiced protests, to gain the appropriate liscensure to handle the clients they service.
This is a for profit business that is using the tax payer provided law enforcement. That is inappropriate and irresponsible of the business. Thus they, without providing a service directly to the community within which they exist, are providing on site security with paying for it themselves.
I feel you owe Mount Dora police department your warmest thanks for doing a job that isn't theirs.
Now, if only they could wave that speeding ticket they gave me...
#23 Jun 26, 2009
Has any staff member thought of using a cell to take some videos? Are there any surveillance cameras that could document the behaviors?
#24 Jun 26, 2009
Nice bribe you try! You sound like angry staff that does not work there anymore. Did you get fired?!
Staffs there have good hearts but cannot talk to one administrator since they don't know any sign language.Even personal director does not know sign. They don't care about the deaf staffs and just want the money from specialty. It is against law to film activity there.Staffs are afraid to say anything since economy problems and no jobs.
It gets worse and worse since psi came.staffs have nowhere to talk to. sex problems are not issue but violent yes. many staffs get hurt.acha come yesterday but staffs are afraid to talk since psi bosses watch our talk with interpreter.maybe this will help psi to open eyes and ears ha ha.

I live behind the deaf academy with my 2 children many times over the years their run awAy patients ended up in my yard. I'm really upset to know they have sex offenders living in that facility

This has got to be the worse place I have ever worked in my life. They really have no business caring for any residents especially children! Their corporate office was notified several times of their unethical behavior and they chose to ignore it.... more than a year later they get a new CEO hired? Look right under the CEO, that's where the problem is. Some staff there, and they know who it is, are just there to skim money (look at whose running the nursing dept). NDA needs a total renovation when it comes to administration, not just the CEO. They should also move the Autistic residents out, they don't need to be a part of the violence there as their environment needs to be less stimulating, and more structured.

Cream cracker
|This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (November 2015)
Cream crackers with garlic-herb cheese spread
|Cracker or biscuit
|Place of origin
|Created by
|Joseph Haughton
|Main ingredients
|Wheat flour, yeast
|Cookbook: Cream cracker Media: Cream cracker
A cream cracker is a flat, usually square savoury biscuit. The cream cracker was invented by Joseph Haughton at his home in Dublin, Ireland, and then manufactured by William Jacob in a small bakery around 1885. The name "cream crackers" refers to the method in which the mixture is creamed during manufacture.
They are made from wheat flour, palm oil and yeast, and are commonly served with cheese, corned beef or other savoury topping such as Marmite or Vegemite. They are also eaten with butter or margarine or without accompaniment. An average cream cracker contains about 35 kcal.
They are popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Chile, Brazil, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South Africa. The most widely known cream cracker brand is Jacob's. The Jacob's brand in Ireland is owned by Jacob Fruitfield Food Group, part of the Valeo Foods Group, and in the UK, Europe, North America, it is owned by United Biscuits. Manufacturers in Southeast Asia include Khong Guan, Hup Seng, Hwa Tai, and Jacob's (manufactured by Kraft Malaysia). Manufacturers in South Asia include Ceylon Biscuits Limited, Maliban Biscuit Manufactories Limited (Sri Lanka) and Britannia Industries (India), and in South Africa, Bakers is one of the most prominent manufacturers. Purity Factories manufactures cream crackers with lard in Newfoundland, Canada.

Circle Nine (Hardcover)
Candlewick Press (MA), 9780763653330, 260pp.
Publication Date: September 13, 2011
Who was Abby then? Who is Abby now? An unsettling psychological thriller, seen through a lost girl's eyes.
She knows only Sam, a mysterious teenage boy. He is her sole companion; her whole life. She was born, already a teenager, lying outside a burning building in soot-stained clothes, remembering nothing, not even her name. He showed her the necklace she had on, the one that named her: Abby. Sam brought her to live in his cavepalace, where he gives her everything she needs. He loves her. He protects her from the world outside, from everyone who wants to hurt them, like the denizens of Circle Nine, Dante's deepest circle of hell. But even in a charmed, brand-new life like Abby's, change will come. Sam falls ill. A new girl comes to stay, and Abby begins to question Sam's devotion. With doubt comes emotional turmoil, changes in perception, and glimpses of her past identity. In this courageous psychological thriller, Abby tells the story of living her new life and discovering her old one, while grappling with an ever-changing reality.

Around 200 'Mortal Kombat' ecstasy tablets have been seized from a house during a police operation in Lanarkshire.
Officers acting under warrant searched a house in Tantallon Drive, Coatbridge at around 2.40pm on Monday.
Loading article content
The tablets have an estimated street value of £2,000.
A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the recovery.
Police Scotland say there is nothing to suggest that the seizure has any links to the investigation into the death of Regane Lenaghan MacColl.
The 17-year-old, from Clydebank, died in the early hours of Sunday after becoming ill while inside the Arches nightclub in Glasgow.

Like the character Dustin Hoffman portrayed in Rain Man, Daniel Tammet can perform extraordinary maths in his head, sees numbers as shapes, colours, textures, and motions, and can learn to speak a language fluently from scratch in three days. He also has a compulsive need for order and routine. He eats exactly 45 grams of porridge for breakfast and cannot leave the house without counting the number of items of clothing he's wearing. If he gets stressed or unhappy, he closes his eyes and counts. But in some ways, Daniel is not all like the Rain Man. He is virtually unique among people who have severe autistic disorders in being capable of living a fully-functioning, independent life. It is this incredible self-awareness and ability to communicate what it feels like to live in a totally extraordinary way that makes Born on a Blue Day so powerful.
©2006 Daniel Tammet; (P)2007 Hodder and Stoughton Audiobooks
"Read by Daniel, this memoir gives the listener a remarkable insight into the mysterious world of autism and pays homage to Daniel's parents." (Observer)
"Very interesting story of someone with Asperger's"
Daniel Tammet narrates his own true story. His story gives an interesting inside story of himself who has been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. His voice is a bit monotonous, but this is characteristic of Asperger's. It was interesting from beginning till end.
A memorable moment in the book is how Daniel describes the way he calculates. It is so completely different from the way everybody learn to calculate. It looks more like combining patterns with digits having colour, shapes and textures.. It may one day have implications for the way computers make their calculations.
Inside story of Asperger
An audible addict:)
"ADD is not thhe end"
10 out of 10
The knowledge I gained from it
Not neccesarily, have to be in the mood to listen to him
No, though the information I gained got me hooked
This book helped me alot to understand ADD better
"I am diagnosed with Aspergers too"
Thank you so much for your book Daniel and for taking the time to narrate it. I bought the hard cover book when you wrote it and it kicked around the house for years without getting read. I find it quite hard to concentrate on books so I was really pleased to see the audiobook turn up here. Your story is really interesting and hearing someone else talk about autism and their experience of it always helps me with my own puzzling mind.
I really enjoyed the book and it is one I will listen to again.
"Truly Fascinating"
What a truly fascinating insight into a fascinating mind.
Even with his savant ability, there are aspects of his everyday life that are a constant challenge. It is inspiring how he has learnt to manage these problems.
I appreciate the time he has taken to describe his thoughts and feelings.
"fascinating and inspiring stuff"
fascinating and inspiring to hear how Daniel has overcome his difficulties and achieved so much
well told,

London, August 16 (ANI): Cheryl Cole reportedly flashed her latest tattoo, which she unveiled onstage with 'Girls Aloud' earlier this year, in Los Angeles last night.
The 30-year-old starlet exposed the elaborate tattoo of a red rose when she landed in LA and quickly boarded a waiting vehicle, the Daily Express reported.
The 'Parachute' singer was seen wearing black trousers with a matching leather jacket with shint boots, large sunglasses and a simple necklace, but her tattoo peeped out of her sheer back top.
Sources revealed that Cole, ex-wife of English footballer Ashley Cole liked the design of the rose, which took 15 hours in total to be completed, but is now done with tattoos
The latest tattoo, which earned her flak from fans, covers up a previous design of a butterfly. (ANI)

A small bomb went off in Istanbul on Monday, injuring two people hours after police defused another device near a luxury hotel.
The bomb that exploded was left inside a trash can near a government office in a low-income neighborhood, TRT television said. Earlier, police used a controlled explosion to destroy a homemade device found near the Swissotel's perimeter walls.
There were no claims of responsibility and it was not known if the two incidents were connected.
Kurdish rebels, who are fighting for autonomy in southeast Turkey, have in the past launched attacks prior to their imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan's birthday on April 4. Militant leftist and Islamic groups are also active in the country.
On Sunday, officials from more than 70 countries met in Istanbul to discuss ways of ending the uprising in Syria, but the hotel would not say if any of the officials had stayed at Swissotel.
One of those officials, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, left Turkey after Sunday's meeting.

L'Oréal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara Reviews
Spider lash alert!!!I went to chuch with this on and the girl next to me was commenting on how my lashes look clumpy and I ended up having fallouts from it on my cheeks. Such a disappointment!!! — 4 years, 7 months agobeautypoet101 | 581 reviews
Horrible MascaraI, like many others, tried this product and found it to be horrible. No matter how carefully I applied the primer it still clumped. The mascara is thin and smears no matter how light handed you are in application.It made my lashes stick together and the result was a globbed up mess.The comb applicator is completely worthless and does nothing for separating lashes even when wiped clean. My lashes a...read morere good but with this mascara they looked awful. Even with a metal lash comb I could not get them separated and looking decent. It also smeared and flaked about an hour after application. I'd say this product DID NOT live up to its claim and I would definitely NOT purchase it again. With so many good mascaras on the market this one is one to pass by. — 6 years, 11 months agoToscanaFirenze | 284 reviews
The comb is too hard to handleIf you are very patient and want to take the time to learn how to use the comb for the mascara, then this is a good product to try, otherwise, move on to another mascara. The comb would always leave my lashes looking like Tammy Faye. I couldn't get the right amount on the comb for anything. I tried blotting the comb and using less, but I never did figure it out. I just used the primer and another mascara, but the primer isn't that great either. — 9 years, 2 months agobeautyguru_24_7 | 284 reviews
life is incomplete without thisThis is my absolute favorite mascara ever. Sine they discontinued it alomst two years ago, I have yet to find one that works as well. I have been stocking up on ebay and it seems like they are starting to finally run out. I think people are crazy to not like this. I had alll my friends try it, they all got hooked, and have all been just as saddened as me with it being discontinued. The brush is aw...read moreesome, lashes are long and full. Very dissappointed they stopped making it. If anyone knows of a mascara that can compare, please let me know, because they just seem to be doing it for me. — 5 years, 7 months agoMkaydot | 1 reviews

Pointless!The Eyelash Primer Dried up too quickly and the color would not fade even when coating a second layer of mascara it would constantly clump my lashes and had a horrible smell using them separably is also a waste — 5 years, 9 months agorinerz | 18 reviews
makes my lashes look darker and thicker!love the volume of this mascara. it does take a while to apply though but the primer is great — 6 years, 8 months agoAngelamay14 | 81 reviews
Worst Mascara!I have fairly long lashes already so I was hoping this would make them look super lush. I bought the regular formula, not waterproof, and it was terrible! Huge waste of money. The mascara "comb" is ridiculous. My eyelashes have never clumped up as much as they did with this mascara. It might actually be easier to just combine the primer and mascara and use the primer brush since it has plenty of bristles. — 7 years, 3 months agoMissOlive | 15 reviews
Not too shabby!I LOVED the way this product made my lashes look. I already have long lashes and this product made them stand out! But, there is one down side to this product. I bought the waterproof. If you want waterproof this is EXTREMELY waterproof. It took me a few days to get all of it off of my lashes even when I use eye makeup remover. Other than that I love this product. — 7 years, 7 months agomakeupjunk1e | 6 reviews
USE IT CAREFULLYIF YOU USE THE MASCARA BASE FIRST, AND THAN GENTLY SWIPE THE COMB THROUGH YOUR LASHES, JUST ONCE, YOU WILL GET A GOOD RESULT FROM THIS PRODUCT. MAKE SURE THE COMB DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF PRODUCT ON IT. BE CAREFUL TO SWIPE EACH SECTION OF LASHES ONLY ONCE. OTHERWISE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OFF. IF USED CORRECTLY, YOUR LASHES WILL BE LONG AND THICK! — 8 years, 1 month agoSeaglassgirl | 95 reviews
Great tip: Combine with Regular L'Oreal MascareOkay, ladies, here's a great tip that works for my eyelashes. Background info: my eyelashes are very long and curly as well as thick Tip: I find it helpful to apply one coat of L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara and another of non-waterproof L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara (the one featured on this page). The "Shocking" mascara helps me shape my lashes with the comb brush to remov...read moree clumps. You may have to lightly wiggle the comb applicator a little while applying to really get the clumps out, but it works great by adding volume AND length. Keep in mind, however, this method helps me make sure that my eyelashes don't look too long (this, "spidery," as my friends like to call it.) If you have short, straight eyelashes I'm not sure how this method would work, but it's worth it to give it a shot! Hope this helped! — 8 years, 3 months agobeautyqueen00 | 1 reviews

This topic is a continuation of this thread: https://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/command-prompt-stupid-geek-tricks/page/2?replies=25 which was titled "command prompt: stupid geek tricks" and started by Dcw329 . . . AND HIJACKED BY US OLD TIMERS (and you're included, Rick!).
So that we old folks can have a thread to reminisce about the times that computers barely beat out stubby pencils, and so that poor Dcw329's thread can get on with anybody that wants to stay on topic there, I've started this thread.
Hey ScottW,
That was a cool pic, but as I said in the hijacked thread, it didn't include the LS-120 diskette . . . though as I said, that was apparently a flash in the pan since they no longer make them (I have, however, seen the LS-120 drive offered as an external USB device . . . but that was a while back too, so maybe even that has been discontinued . . . I guess you could get one on eBAY maybe).
Hey Rick,
So if we go back to ENIAC and BRAINIAC does that mean you'll not have any memories??
Hey jd2066,
Yes, now I remember it was Xerox.

i have lines under my eyes that im considering using retin a for. dr nicholas perricone says that anything that inflames the skin is bad for it which retin a does that. 1. is this true that retin a damages the skin by causing inflamation? 2. is it likely that lines will turn into bags?
Retin-A for Under Eye Lines
Doctor Answers 2
Retin-A for under eyes
Retin-A is perfect for the thin skin under the eyes! Some patients are a little sensitive to Retin-A - it does cause some irritation. However, the improvement in the fine lines of the lower eyelids is wonderful. I recommend that patients with fair or sensitive skin start with the lowest strength (0.025%) and use it once a week, gradually increasing as tolerated to nightly if possible.
It takes about three nights to see what the effect is, so be patient - you must start very carefully. Remember, you will be sun-sensitive while using Retin-A so be sure to include sunscreen. If you have a little irritation, back off a bit and use some cortisone cream, as needed. Once you are at a regular schedule, you can move to a stronger strength if you want to. The improvement will take many months, but will continue as long as you use Retin-A. I also recommend regular use of topical Vitamin C and an alphahydroxy acid (glycolic acid) to maintain healthy skin.
Retin A
Retin A can cause inflamatory reponse, which is what we want from Retin A. The inflamation stimulates the new formation of collagen and elastin.
It rejuvenates the skin.
retin A is ideal to prepare the skin for laser resurfacing and for chemical peels to get rid of fine wrinkles
