Steve Jobs Was Right! Adobe Abandons Flash for Mobiles
11th November, 2011
Adobe Systems Inc has stopped developing Flash Player for mobile browsers.
Instead, Adobe would be investing into HTML5 technology for creating mobile-browser content.
This means that iPhone and iPad users would have improved browsing experiences-as they have trouble accessing sites built with Flash-and would no longer be 'disadvantaged' for not having devices that support Flash.
Apple's late founder Steve Jobs famously derided that Flash was "an inefficient power-hog", not to mention "unreliable and ill-suited for mobile devices", and refused to let Flash run on his iOS devices.
With Adobe's surrender, web developers will most likely have to move over to HTML5 to produce web content.
Adobe will be integrating HTML5 technology into its current and future software programs, such as Illustrator and Dreamweaver.
David Wadhwani, head of Adobe's digital media business unit, said that Adobe will continue to invest in Flash technology for mobile applications, but these mobile applications would run through Adobe AIR app as a platform on mobile devices.

13" MacBook Pro and gaming
Any feedback or insight as to how the 13" MacBook Pro Retina handles gaming?

went from my loaded PC gaming rig (i5 2500k, Radeon 6970 2GB etc etc) to a 13" cMBP.
For the most part I can play the same games I used to play. Admittedly I was a little worried about going from a dedicated GPU to an integrated 4000, but it handles itself quite nicely. Games I have tried out on the Mac: League of Legends Diablo 3 Starcraft 2 Bastion Lord of the Rings Online The 13" games adequately, don't expect mind blowing fps, but it wasn't a big disappointing going from a fairly high-powered desktop to a much more compact solution. I have yet to try gaming in bootcamp. |

I got World of Warcraft to over 30FPS on my 13 inch retina MBP. I am a very casual gamer, so that works fine for me. But I imagine that hard-core gamers will want a laptop that has a dedicated GPU to max out all the effects. I scaled mine back to the lowest, then went up from there until I arrived at a good balance between performance and prettiness.

Raspberry Custard Tart Recipe
Our Test Kitchen created this pretty dessert to help you impress guests at your next gathering. With a yummy raspberry layer and nutty homemade crust, it's hard to believe that a slice isn't an invitation to stray from healthy eating goals.
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2-1/4 cups fat-free milk
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 jar (12 ounces) seedless raspberry spreadable fruit
- 1-1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- In a small bowl, beat butter and sugar for 2 minutes or until crumbly. Beat in flour and nuts. Coat a 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom with cooking spray. Press crumb mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of pan. Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and flour. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolk; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat; gently stir in extract. Pour over crust. Refrigerate until set.
- In a small bowl, whisk fruit spread until smooth; spread over filling. Garnish with raspberries. Yield: 12 servings.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Land O'Lakes light stick butter.

Light and delicious spring dessert! I didn't have a tart pan so I made mine in a shallow pie dish. Everyone loved the nutty crust and raspberry finish. I may decrease the almond extract next time but overall a very nice dessert especially when garnished with fresh raspberries.

Perfect dessert for after a family barbecue.

My crust did not cover the pan like I would have liked it to. My pudding was slightly rubbery, but everyone loved it otherwise. The taste was great.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, many of us are making plans to celebrate with family and friends, including parents, grandparents and other loved ones who are getting older. According to InnovAge – a nonprofit organization that serves as the comprehensive resource for Colorado's aging population – this quality time is also an ideal opportunity to take note of potential warning signs that aging family members may be in need of additional help and support.
"During the year, our busy schedules may not permit us to see each other as much as we'd like," said Lesley Reeder, vice president of nursing services and excellence for InnovAge. "As a result, a lot of these warning signs can go unnoticed. The holidays allow us to spend an extended period of time with those close to us, and give us a chance to witness any behaviors that could indicate a deeper problem."
Because it is not uncommon for us to have a hard time admitting our loved ones are getting older, InnovAge encourages you to listen to your intuition and follow your instincts. "We know our family members better than anyone, and we can sense when something is out of character or unusual," explained Reeder. To help you recognize when it is time to take action, InnovAge offers the following list of nine common warning signs.
If you see one or more of these signs, please call InnovAge for information about how we can help your loved one become healthier and happier while living at home. InnovAge is here to help seniors and caregivers, alike.
InnovAge provides a full spectrum of services to enable older adults to live independently in their homes and communities. InnovAge offers home care services, healthcare and day programs, care management and memory loss programs. For more information about InnovAge, please visit www.MyInnovAge.org or call 303-869-4664.

Two hours before the Grizzlies played the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, Feb. 26, at FedExForum, Memphis coach Dave Joerger talked about the last loss – at Charlotte – the game ahead, and that aggravating play that recently invaded Memphis living rooms, including Joerger's own.
As the Grizzlies took their leave from FedExForum, having won their last home game before the NBA All-Star break, forward James Johnson looked toward the next night's game at Orlando. He made clear that the Grizzlies were not thinking of Disney World or any other fantasyland, but were committed to the work immediately in front of them.
The calendar says the Dallas Mavericks will be at FedExForum to play the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Just one game of 82 in the coast-to-coast marathon that is the NBA season.
But it's a game that has the potential to weigh heavily on the Grizzlies' ultimate playoff fate. The Mavericks come in sitting in the eighth and final playoff position in the Western Conference with a record of 28-21.
Point guard Mike Conley stood at his locker after the Grizzlies had lost their third straight game, seen their home record drop to 5-9 (they were 32-9 at home last season), and their overall record fall to 10-13.
Even open shots, depending on who is taking them, are not necessarily a good option. So says coach Dave Joerger and, yes, that's how bad the Grizzlies' offense has become.
The Grizzlies mustered just 82 points in a 26-point loss to Golden State on Saturday, Dec. 7 at FedExForum, and it was most notable for the fact that, well, such losses are no longer notable.
The Grizzlies just started a six-game homestand with a loss – their fourth in a row at FedExForum.
Seems The Grindhouse has turned into a fun house for visiting teams this season as they have gone 5-3 against the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are going out on a four-game road trip that starts with a Friday, Nov. 15, game in Los Angeles against the Lakers. Maybe a change of scenery will do them good. After a 3-5 start to the season that feels even worse than the record, a change of scenery is as good an idea as any.
To the question, how patient are Grizzlies fans willing to be, we now have a definitive answer.
Their patience broke as the third quarter ended Wednesday, Nov. 6, at FedExForum. Their Grizzlies – that gritty, lovable bunch that won 56 games last season and went to the Western Conference Finals – trailed the New Orleans Pelicans by 22 points.
The results from the 12th annual GM survey from NBA.com are in and the Grizzlies show up in several categories. But Tony Allen was the only player to finish first in a category as the league's general managers voted him the league's best perimeter defender.
The Grizzlies have to win four of five to beat the San Antonio Spurs and advance to the NBA Finals. In other words, if reality itself could hold up a towel it would read: "I don't bluff."
The Grizzlies dropped the first two games in San Antonio and, historically speaking, a fool would soon part with his money if betting on the Grizzlies to come back and win the series. Because when a team wins the first two games of a seven-game series, it goes on to win that series 93.7 percent of the time. The Grizzlies already have upset these odds once, falling behind the Los Angeles Clippers 0-2 in this year's opening-round playoff series before rallying to win four straight.
Disappointments past can set up unmitigated joy in the present. At its best, that's how this whole sports fandom thing works.
You invest yourself emotionally (yes, perhaps financially, too) and if you hold the stock (your loyalty) long enough, there's a nice payoff.
Before the Grizzlies began their first-round playoff series with the Clippers in Los Angeles, Dennis Flanagan looked ahead to Game 3, which was to be played on Thursday night, April 25, in Memphis.
In Game 1 in Los Angeles, the Grizzlies were missing in action. In Game 2, they were just good enough to lose by two points.
So Game 3 Thursday night at FedExForum provided a choice: win or try to become the first team in NBA history to rally from a 0-3 deficit to win a best-of-seven playoff series.
The Grizzlies returned from Los Angeles down 2-0 to the Clippers, the idea of "Believe Memphis" being put to the test.
Thursday night, April 25, the Clippers and Grizzlies were to play Game 3 at FedExForum, and then Saturday, April 27, Game 4.
The Los Angeles Clippers may or may not prove to be serious Western Conference title contenders. Count TNT analyst Charles Barkley as their No. 1 doubter, having called them "fool's gold" and compared them to a pretty girl that steals your heart only for you to discover she is "dumb as a box of rocks."
NASHVILLE (AP) – Tennessee health officials are training nursing home care providers how to treat dementia patients with fewer drugs – especially those with Alzheimer's disease.
The Tennessean reported statistics collected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services show about 30 percent of long-term nursing home residents in Tennessee are treated with antipsychotics drugs. The national average is 23.8 percent and federal officials want that cut by 15 percent by year's end.
On the court, the Grizzlies have given away next to nothing. They reeled off an eight-game winning streak. Night after night, 48 minutes at a time, they have been stingy – selfish, even.
But off the court, the Grizzlies have embraced this holiday season of giving as though it, too, were a competition. This month, they haven't just been making baskets but giving them away hundreds at a time: Zach Randolph distributing food baskets to families from Carver and Booker T. Washington high schools; Rudy Gay passing out foodstuffs at The Pursuit of God Power Center; and Quincy Pondexter's food basket give-away at New Direction Christian Church/Power Center Academy as part of his ongoing "Random Acts of Q-Ness."
Last season, the Grizzlies made the playoffs and even earned home-court advantage for their first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Last season, the Tigers made the NCAA Tournament after winning the regular season and tournament Conference USA championships.
Don't make too much of the preseason. That's a mantra that has been well-tested. But also, don't make too little of the preseason.
The Memphis Grizzlies finally addressed their need for more outside shooting – enter Wayne Ellington – and a viable backup point guard – welcome Jerryd Bayless. Through the team's first seven preseason games, the newcomers have been adjusting to their new team and the team has been adjusting to them. The final preseason game, on Friday, Oct. 26, will bear no resemblance to what is to come in the regular season because Coach Lionel Hollins has said he's giving the team's key players the night off, or at least most of the night off.
It seems like with so many people, Lee Harris' eventual career interest was sparked by television.

Part three of a three-part series Church fundraising requires prayer. That is at the heart of the advice offered by Willis White who served as campaign co-chair for his church's $3.5 million campaign. We asked him how he prepared for the campaign.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said Thursday that U.S. economic growth has slowed in the last two months as fears about Europe's debt woes mounted.
Buffett's comments during an interview Thursday on the cable TV network CNBC contrast with what he has been saying for a couple years. Buffett has said the economy was gradually improving since the fall of 2009 in every area except businesses related to housing.
In the world of sports talk radio, improving the Grizzlies would be easy. As easy as, say, "Eddie from East Memphis" calling in and suggesting the Grizzlies ship Dante Cunningham, Jeremy Pargo and Quincy Pondexter to the Oklahoma City Thunder for James Harden.
Two box scores. In one, right there in black and white, is the proof that the Memphis Grizzlies hit 11-of-16 three-point shots (68.8 percent). In the other is the evidence of an 0-for-6 night from three-point range, which even a math-challenged sports writer can figure out is 00.0 percent.
As the shortened but grueling NBA season was winding itself down into so many ugly wins over mere Hornets, Bobcats and Cavaliers, the Grizzlies' Rudy Gay looked back and summed up the journey.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Driven by high gas prices and an uncertain economy, Americans are turning to trains and buses to get around in greater numbers than ever before. But the aging transit systems they're riding face an $80 billion maintenance backlog that jeopardizes service just when it's most in demand.
Just how deep are the Memphis Grizzlies? So deep that Zach Randolph's second car is a Rolls-Royce.
No kidding. Another driver hit Randolph's Dodge Challenger on Bill Morris Parkway the other day, so Z-Bo had to go to the automotive bench and drive the Rolls to his office (alias, FedExForum).
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Sacramento Kings coach Keith Smart took off his blue jacket and tossed it to DeMarcus Cousins. The fouled-out forward played coach for the final minute, and everybody on the bench enjoyed a laugh.
MEMPHIS (AP) – Tony Allen was determined to stop Rockets leading scorer Kevin Martin.
MEMPHIS (AP) – That was the Rudy Gay the Memphis Grizzlies have been waiting to see.
Gay scored a season-high 26 points and the Memphis Grizzlies beat New York 94-83 on Thursday night to end the Knicks' winning streak at four games.
Raymond James Financial's official statement about the Morgan Keegan acquisition:
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James Financial, Inc. announced today that it has entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement to acquire Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. and related affiliates from Regions Financial for $930 million, expanding both its private client wealth management and capital markets businesses.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama gets mediocre marks for his handling of the U.S. economy, and Mitt Romney easily outpolls his Republican rivals in an Associated Press survey of economists.
Coaches always see a bigger picture. So it is that Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins bristles at any suggestion that his team took its big step forward in last season's playoffs – the implication being that this snapshot of two series and 13 games does not do the Grizzlies' success in 2010-2011 full justice.
Great seasons end.
Great cities endure.
That's not just one of the Memphis Grizzlies' new marketing slogans. Capitalizing on last season's success and building an enduring franchise are aspirations for the organization as it copes with the reality of the NBA lockout and the ongoing dry spell of professional hometown hoops.

SAVANNA's record of being the coldest spot in Illinois at 37º below zero in early January of 1999 got the cold shoulder from the National Weather Service in Chicago because the temperature hadn't been registered on certified equipment nor was it registered by an official observer.
Click on the Flag for More Information
It's like when a tornado isn't official unless seen by an actual registered official!!!!
As it turned out, Congerville, a small town about twenty miles east of Peoria and a hundred miles south of Savanna got the nod that day for coldest spot with a reading of minus 36º.
Northwest Illinois had easily held the record for coldest spot for nearly seventy years, it having been -35º (below zero) on January 22, 1930 at Mt. Carroll. And the next year the same temperature, 35º below, at nearby Elizabeth, that on February 3, 1931.
They may have been dubious honors but an honor's an honor, right?!
It may be appropriate that northern Illinois held the coldest record because after all, Illinois was created by sheets of ice; glaciers covering the terrain twice in 300,000 years, the first about 15,000 before. As glaciers melted (early global warming, you know!) small rivers and streams formed in the surface of the ice, their currents picking up sand, gravel and soil and carrying them to places where they seeped under the ice to deposit and in various places to make today's hills and bluffs, valleys and mounds, etc. It was a slow process but Nature got it done. The places where today there are gravel pits was where the glaciers left behind sand and gravel through the holes in he ice covering, sometimes as much as a mile thick and where the soil made hills, called Kames, with linear deposits falling before you like so many soft green pillows are called eskers. Other common hills are called moraines. Some Illinois communities are sited on kames such as Lebanon or Vandalia while Bloomington and Champaign and the suburbs of Chicago are sited on moraines. Think of how many eons it took to build up the palisades, even the lesser bluffs along the Mississippi which itself became one major stream through the melt of the long ago ice. The workings of the ice left behind lake plains, prairies (some of the richest soils in the entire world are in Illinois due to the methods of the Ice Age so we reap the benefits of the activities of ice and its action.
All these centuries later, some uncounted, we here in northern Illinois have a little reminder of the Ice Age but few of us ever knew abut it until "modern times." And as long as we're thinking ICE as it forms on roads and windows it's a surprise to learn that Carroll and JoDaviess counties in Northwest Illinois and Northeast Iowa have "spots" that have the frozen stuff ALL YEAR LONG.
Never melting, or but for short times, the pockets of it are the ICE AGE in miniature. The "Driftless Region" of Illinois have the rocky bluffs and hills that when in its centuries of building had large rocks, even boulders all fallen to the base of a bluff or palisade in a clustered jumble called a talus. Because they are not regular in their surfaces, cracks or fissures, empty spaces can fill with water in little pools that through the centuries has frozen and the rocks around them becomes colder. If you were to stand beside this jumble of rocks on a July day and put your hand on the rock it would be like laying your hand in a refrigerator. The tiny environment of arctic conditions perpetuates itself at the site. Those sites are called ALGIFIC SLOPES with their tumbled rocks against the foot of the bluff facing north or northwest to catch the cold winds of the north to keep the cycle of freezing in sync.
Twenty years ago John Schwegman writing in "Our National Heritage" stated that up until that time nine places of the ALGIFIC SLOPES had been discovered and of the nine only two of them seemed to have the ice that never melted. One of them formed a habitat of about one hundred feet by forty feet in size.
In 1985 Schwegman took the temperature at an ice pocket where it was found to be 42º on July 30 at 2:00 p.m. Out in the open it was 65º. Ten inches below the surface the temperature was 33º insinuating there would be ice below.
The jumble of rocks including those in the center of the pile some three feet in diameter, had been chilled during the winter and because of their not being exposed to sun or heat, kept cold throughout the year as the north winds added to the conditions. Snow melt, drainings from the bluff and ground moisture added to the "reservoir" of water.
The cold air surrounding the rocks affects the plants growing there, slowing their progress. Schwegman, who first discovered the ice pockets in 1981, saw Columbine which usually buds out and blossoms in spring, in bloom at the end of July; Canada violets in late September. For a botanist to find these three wild flowers so out of their schedule of bloom was an exciting experience. Nearby were Clematis, Boreal Rose and a Beaked Hazelnut caught his eye. They had never before been seen in Illinois!
Several of those species were plants of the North as is the Arctic Primrose that can be seen in early spring on the bluffs at Apple River Canyon State Park ... An arctic blossom in Illinois!
Some botanist claim that these pockets of flower and ice are not remnants of the Ice Age but are miniature environments that existed during that ancient time ... Small examples of what things were like, that is.
✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰ ✰
At a much later time, January 1, 1861, John Porter wrote the following for the "History of Harmon Township," Lee County, that in the 1890's Porter had been in Amboy on his way home to Harmon, Northwest several miles to be exposed to the frightful cold and was to experience immediate frost bite, he claimed. It was an instant ice age for certain. In part, this is what Mr. Porter recalled:
"I attempted to water my horses but as soon as I came in range of the wind, the water was blown out of the pail all over me, together with the driving snow in a spray of hail. The horses got no water that day but did have liberal rations.
"In Amboy the day previous, it was fine and nice. The wind began to rise just at night and when we struck the prairie on our return it was blowing a gale. Bitter cold air full of driving snow blew directly into our teeth. Only for the persistence and intelligence of the team it would have been a toss-up if we were to have made that four miles on the prairie. The next morning was worse.
The wind almost took people off their feet when trying to stand or walk. The air was full of blinding snow. The temperature stood at 35º below zero, some said 40º below. Persons caught out were badly frozen. Cattle froze to death in their stalls. Chickens fell from their roosts, dead. Everything else was on the congealed order which made it a day well worth the name ever after of the "Cold New Year's Eve."
We believe we've been experiencing a Year of Odd Weather, when in reality curious phenomenon has gone before. Next week we'll relate a couple of other "weather days" in Illinois and throughout the nation. Tune in.

The iPod Nano has a gorgeous, superslim design with a bright, photo-friendly screen. It is easy to operate and works seamlessly with iTunes and the iTunes Music Store, which has the world's largest selection of music. It boasts a nimble processor and system performance with no skipping, thanks to flash memory.
The iPod Nano suffers from unspectacular battery life, and though the device is durable, it scratches easily; blemishes show up more drastically on the black version. The Nano is pricey in terms of gigabytes per dollar, and its 4GB maximum capacity is not a good fit for many power users. The player skips many sought-after extra features such as FM radio and A/V-out, and it doesn't work with Camera Connector. The USB power adapter ($29) is not included.
Thanks to its limited capacity, the gorgeous iPod Nano isn't for everybody, but it sets the standard for MP3 players to come.
Average review score based on 1 user reviews
This Ipod is one of the first ones that featured a color screen . Its entirely based flash memory. Comes in Black or white with chrome back-plate .
This Ipod comes with 4GB as the biggest and 1Gb as the smallest . Battery Life has been good since I already own one when it came out and still use it.
This model also is easier to repair and replace defective parts as they age and swapping batteries is also not difficult with a soldering iron.
The click wheel is a nice Physical interface as opposed to the modern touch screens that get dirty and unresponsive and need recalibration.
Great for around 1000 songs ,
Can also display Images .
I would recommend keeping the back light off or to a minimum as it does waste the battery .

MOUNT CARROLL – The West Carroll Primary School gymnasium was full of patriotism on Thursday, November 8th when they hosted a Veteran's Day program. Students performed patriotic songs under the direction of Anne Pudwill, dressed in red, white, and blue.
KWQC-TV 6 reporter Gary Metevier made a special appearance, with a special reading of his children's book "Saluting Grandpa." Metevier is deeply involved with promoting the Honor Flight, which allows Veterans to visit Washington D.C.

Metevier emphasized the importance of thanking our Veterans for the service they have given, and for our freedom. Metevier's book explains to children about the sacrifices service men and women make for our Country, and how important it is for us to never take our freedom for granted.
The journalist recalled the story of a veteran that spoke of how the thank you from a teenage student meant so much to him. "It's that simple," Metevier said.
Students learned the proper way to salute, and were allowed the chance to purchase an autographed book. Gary travels to many different schools, helping to instill the value of those who provide service to our country.
The West Carroll 4th grade students participated in a Bike a Thon last year, with all proceeds going to help with the Honor Flight, where they earned over $2,000.00. Many Veterans were present for the program, and treated to cookies and coffee, a great day that they are sure to remember.

La Crepe en Haut has crafted fine French and Nouvelle cuisine for more than three decades. Customer's senses pique upon entry into La Crepe's elegant dining room, enveloped in warm lighting, lunar-dust-lined walls, and rich green accents, before being greeted by a menu of entrees made from fresh meats and seafood in a variety of traditional French preparations. Vichyssoise, a cold potato and leak soup ($8.50), sets the stage for the main event of blackened fillet with blue cheese and cabernet glaze ($36.95), or canard à l'orange or au poivre rouge, a roasted duckling bathed in orange sauce or peppercorn brandy ($29.95). La Crepe en Haut slakes fermented thirst with an extensive wine list, which doubles as a yearbook for varietals graduating this year.
Café Rouge sprinkles worldly charm all over its selection of salads, sandwiches, and house-made entrees. Culinary concoctions, such as a warm poached egg and crispy bacon salad ($9) and olive-oil-baked garlic and chili shrimp ($10), prepare flavor savorers for main dishes, including crispy salmon on sautéed asparagus with lemon and tarragon mayonnaise ($17), and shrimp and scallops over honey Sriracha fettuccine ($17). Just like the young substitute French teacher, Café Rouge is upscale and European, but at the same time, laid-back and soothing.
At Green Lemon Cafe, ceramic salt- and peppershakers masquerade as pairs of flamingos, crabs, and dairy cows. The figurines mirror the café's harmonious atmosphere: on any given day, patrons munch Fresh-inspired café fare, chat with owner Amanda Volence, or sprout goatees while browsing original artwork.
In the kitchen, chefs pack Boar's Head meats into savory crepes and paninis such as the black forest ham and swiss panini or the raspberry-chicken crepe with jack cheese and spinach. Alternately, cooks fill the apple-crisp crepe—1 of more than 30 crepe options—with cinnamon, apples, caramel, and graham-cracker crumbs.
The earthiness of freshly ground espresso mingles with the buttery scent of crepes cooking on the griddle all day at 407 Cafe. Chefs fold the lacelike golden circlets of batter around fillings such as roast beef and sharp cheddar cheese or Nutella and strawberries. With a sizzling drumroll, a panini press shuts on sandwiches until mozzarella cheese melts perfectly around grilled chicken, fresh spinach, and sweet yellow raisins. In the kitchen, cooks craft gelato, a delicate process of folding together eggs, milk, sugar, and loads of fruit. Glass vases on the white dining-room tables brim with coffee beans and bright-green stalks of bamboo like the diorama a biologist makes to get a PhD.
Cafe Heavenly welcomes guests into a world of gourmet seafood bisques and crab cakes, tangy gorgonzola salads, and savory flatbreads, surrounded by the appetizing scent of toasted subs and paninis. The bill of fare comes alive with classic northeastern seafood fare, such as the award-winning New England–style clam chowder or the buttery, whole-crustacean lobster rolls—born from the restaurateur's multiple trips to Maine and annual productions of Our Town. The brick-and-mortar location's seaside position and umbrella-shaded outdoor seating beckon to passersby with its laid-back bistro charm, whereas a food truck takes the mantra of tropical fruit smoothies and housemade lobster rolls to the streets.
Twenty-nine stories separate Top of Daytona Restaurant & Lounge from the sands and rolling surf of Daytona Beach. From this vantage point, diners savor expansive, 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, the mainland, and the Halifax River—views that the Orlando Sentinel lauded as "spectacular"—all while indulging in a menu inspired by classical pan-European cooking.
Executive Chef Vadim Vladimirsky incorporates Portuguese, Russian, French, and Italian flavors into his dishes, embracing the cuisines' rustic roots while adding his own refined, yet accessible touches. Accents such as homemade mozzarella cheese, a reduction of aged balsamic vinegar, and a rosemary-tinged port sauce demonstrate his dedication to upscale eating. And given the restaurant's oceanside location, an emphasis on fish and Caribbean lobster comes perfectly natural—Chef Vladimirsky even personally buys the seafood fresh from local suppliers each morning.
Should guests somehow tear their eyes away from the food and the view beyond the curving wall of windows, they find the dining room echoes Top of Daytona's classic feel. A stone-circled fishpond bubbles in the center of the room, surrounded by stately chairs and tables draped with crisp white linens. The ambience grows most spirited on select Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings as live musicians entertain the crowd and help teach passing seagulls to sing in tune.

It seems we can never say thank you enough to those who make major differences in our lives. This is truly the case when we consider the volunteers at DCLS. All across Dauphin County, volunteers have made a commitment to us. They come out of their love for literature, or the need to simply give back. They bring an energy, vitality and cheerfulness that brightens our day and eases our workload. They make it possible for us to do so much more for Library patrons. "Many hands make light work" whether it is in attaching labels, making deliveries in the District, filling kindergarten and new patron bags, emptying the book drop, or dusting shelves. Tasks are never ending, and always changing. How wonderful for DCLS that a volunteer stands ready to help - wherever needed - on the task at hand.
There are so many reasons why we are thankful for volunteers. Over one hundred volunteers each year donate over five thousand hours of service. On average, DCLS benefits from one hundred and fifteen volunteer hours each week. Volunteers help us sustain a highly accessed gateway to resources for patrons of all ages, learning levels, and economic status. They enable DCLS to function as community centers across the County – showcasing the arts, encouraging civic engagement, providing information on local culture, and making social connections possible seven days a week, year round. Over time volunteers become our representatives, our advocates, our tie to the community by way of their awareness and outreach outside our highly-used, hard-working, vital Library spaces.
The value of our Volunteer Program is evident in the attention paid to it. An effective volunteer program enhances our ability to provide quality services to the public. Volunteers make it possible for us to meet our mission. DCLS seeks to actively engage volunteers, maximize the benefits, provide positive experiences, and to properly recognize our volunteers by expressing appreciation in different ways.
Words of praise and gratitude are coupled with informal correspondence and thank you notes expressing our appreciation or concern at appropriate times throughout the year. In April, during National Volunteer Month, we hold the annual DCLS Service Excellence Awards Dinner (SEAD) and recognize an exemplary volunteer. This poster child for the volunteer program is praised, endowed with an inscribed award, treated to dinner, and subsequently nominated to other volunteer recognizing agencies in the region. In May DCLS hosts a formal reception in honor of those providing over fifteen hours of service over the year. In addition to Certificates of Appreciation, these volunteers are recognized with an item added to the Collection in their honor. Special commemorative book-plates mark the selections, which can be found in the volunteer's home Library.
At this time of year, it seems appropriate to say again, in thanksgiving, praise for all you do. Thank you for giving of your time and efforts. We value your service year round, but at this time of year, when we think of all the things for which we are grateful, it seems appropriate to say it one more time. Everyone at DCLS says "Thank you, Volunteers". And Happy Thanksgiving!

it begins....again...
So, here we go again. Attentive and not-so-attentive readers alike may have noticed I haven't been posting here lately. I blame the reading of books, a deliberate choice to spend less time online, and the fact that my response to most things Republicans now say in public has been moderate to copious nausea. It's hard to form cogent counterarguments with that little bit of vomit in the back of your mouth.
Also, since I've been away, Blogger has changed it's interface and I have no idea if this post will actually appear anywhere. Or in what format. It's crazy. I hate it when the interfaces to free internet services change slightly. I'm mildly outraged. Mildly, I say!
To tide you over, until the true crazy begins, check out (as usual) electoral-vote.com for the skinny. There's politics and math--what fun! Remember, most pundits have no idea what they're talking about (e.g. 'Clinton/Giuliani 2008'). The electoral-vote.com guy is different. Because of the power of math!
My prediction: both candidates will come out in support of Good Things and in opposition to Bad Things. Definitions of 'Good' and 'Bad' may differ slightly. Rank hypocrisy will blend with heartbreaking compromises and furious debate into a knock down, drag out Democracy Superbowl, which I will follow with borderline obsessiveness, in order to distract myself from my growing suspicion that the results will be determined predominantly by economic factors, and that all the talk that makes up the Democracy Superbowl is about as relevant to the final outcome as the Halftime Show.
Too pessimistic? I'd throw in some jokes later. Promise!

Ford Returns to Milwaukee
Feb 19, 2013
MILWAUKEE – The Nashville Predators announced today that they have acquired defenseman Scott Ford from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for forward Jani Lajunen. The Predators have assigned Ford to the Admirals.
Ford served as the Admirals Captain last season, posting 11 points on four goals and seven assists in 75 games. He led the team with a +24 rating, becoming the first Milwaukee skater since 2003-04 to finish the season +20 or better.
In four seasons with the Ads Ford played in 279 games, which is fourth best in the team's history in the American Hockey League and needs to play in 16 games the rest of this year to supplant Kelsey Wilson as the team's all-time AHL games played leader. During his time with the Ads he recorded 11 goals and 25 assists for 36 points. His 465 penalty minutes during that span are third best in Admirals AHL history.
In 43 games games with Peoria this season Ford has six points (2g-4a) and 54 penalty minutes.
Lajunen has a goal and four assists in 40 games with the Admirals this season after posting 16 points (5g-11a) in 75 games with Milwaukee in 2011-12.
In addition, forward Patrick Cehlin and defenseman Taylor Aronson have been reassigned to the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL and goaltender Zoltan Hetenyi has been loaned to the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL.
Cehlin has 20 points (6g-14a) in 45 games for the Admrials, while Aronson has a pair of assists in 12 games with Milwaukee and a goal and five assists in 21 games with the Cylcones.
Ford will join the Admirals as they hit the road for the next four games and don't return to the BMO Harris Bradley Center until Friday, March 1 when they host the Grand Rapids Griffins at 7:00 pm.
For tickets fans should call Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000 or by logging onto www.ticketmaster.com. Groups of 10 or more receive significant discounts off the original ticket price. For more information, or to purchase group tickets, fans can call the Admirals office at (414) 227-0550.

Generally we are blessed in Massachusetts with our universal health care mandate, and are shielded from many/most of the difficulties and inequities that others face. I well remember the days when many of our residents were uninsured and faced terrible financial problems and decisions at the exact moments that they were also facing a new and terrifying cancer diagnosis. One of the best parts of our state law (and soon to be national policy, too) is the elimination of insurance companies' rights to refuse coverage to someone with a pre-existing condition. This impacts us in a very direct and important way. Since insurance in this country is generally tied to employment, job changes or job loss can mean the end of a particular policy. If the plans offered at a new employer can say "nope, won't cover you as you had breast cancer", women were often forced to stay in jobs (AKA job lock) or did without. People without jobs had even more difficult problems.
Anyway, this editorial from the Boston Globe is about a different issue that does affect us. Medicare (and most insurance companies sooner or later follow the same policies that Medicare uses) covers the cost of IV chemotherapies with a small co-pay. Oral (pill) chemotherapies, however, are covered under the drug benefit, and this means that many people have huge co-pays. Since 2010, eight of the new eleven cancer drugs approved by the FDA, are oral medications, and the trend is increasingly in that direction. This means that many people have bills that may be hundreds or even thousands of dollars per treatment cycle. A bill to address this growing problem has been filed at the State House, and it behooves us all to pay attention and maybe even write or call our representative.
Here is the beginning and then a link:
Every day in Massachusetts, 105 people get diagnosed with cancer, beginning a long, scary and sometimes unpleasant process of treatment. For increasing numbers of cancer patients, it also creates a crushing financial burden for them and their families at a time in their lives when they have enough to worry about.
How is this possible in a state with nearly universal health insurance coverage? The answer lies in the combination of innovation and outdated insurance practices.Cancer treatment is changing. Increasingly, pills are replacing intravenous chemotherapy administered in a clinical setting. Since 2010, eight of the 11 oncology drugs approved by the Federal Drug Administration are oral treatments.
But insurance companies have been slow to adapt to this change. Insurers treat intravenous chemotherapy as a medical visit, with a modest co-payment and a capped annual out-of-pocket cost, but they treat oral chemotherapy as a drug benefit, for which patients pay a percentage of a prescription's cost, up to 50 percent, and have no annual limit. Chemotherapy agents, whether in oral or intravenous form, are expensive, so those taking a pill face out-of-pocket costs in the thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars every year.

weird but cool looking plowI was looking through Ebay and came across what they are calling a Salt Plow. Basically a moldboard plow with what almost looks like flames cut in the moldboard. I have never seen nor heard of this type of plow, does it serve any special purpose or is it even better then a regular moldboard?
Re: weird but cool looking plowI think they may have meant to say "slat" plow or slat wing plow. They were designed to be used with sticky soils. Less surface area allowed the sticky soil to roll off easier.

we need to think differently." -Albert Einstein
Re: weird but cool looking plowBob has it covered there. That is the 194 fast hitch version I have the 193 version of that plow.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: weird but cool looking plowWe had one, 2 bottoms, in central Iowa. Used it in early spring when soil was wet. Suppose to help keep soil from sticking to moldboard. Used the slat bottom plow along with standard moldboard when thing dried up a bit. As Jim said, didn't seem to be an advantage over standard moldboard plows. Actually think the reason Dad and Grandpa purchased the plow was that it had 12" bottoms and the tractors were having problems pulling the 16" bottom plows. I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: weird but cool looking plowWe have Red Clay soil here in our county, and most of the old plows I accumulate are Slat wing, including the 194 above.The solid mold boards plows I have around came from either another county, or another state. Disc plows usually come from far off also. Cubs were not a big seller locally, run across more larger letter series (H-M) equipment or green stuff, still slat wing even when changing brands.
Re: weird but cool looking plowSaw what looked like an eight bottom slat plow on a Brittish TV show a few days ago. Soil it was plowing sure did look wet, but those furrows looked just fine.

Re: weird but cool looking plowI have that same plow for a cub, but it has a broken slat or two. I have a Allis three bottom slat plow. That three bottom work good in this heavy clay soil.

Polystyrene Insulation:
Does It Belong in a Green Building?
Polystyrene, in both extruded and expanded forms, is very widely used as rigid insulation in North America and worldwide. In below-grade applications, owing to its good insulation value, superb moisture resistance, strength, performance, and affordability, polystyrene dominates the market.
But a chemical that's added to polystyrene to provide fire resistance has recently raised significant concerns. Indeed, the European Union may be on the verge of significantly restricting the use of this chemical—HBCD. Given other environmental concerns about polystyrene, this latest development raises the question of whether this insulation material belongs in green buildings at all.

Wall border sticker
Running five yards in width, this wall sticker creates a perfect border in any bedroom, bath, locker, or pretty much anywhere! Changed your mind? No worries, you can easily remove and reposition it without fear of damaging your wall or most other surfaces. Playful bugs painted in bright, festive colors decorate the strip, adding a lively air to wherever it is applied. This strip is offered with a separately sold collection of matching bugs and butterflies so you can get even more creative with your improvised design.
These stickers will work on just about any surface, but take care with wallpaper or some delicate surfaces. If in doubt, test in an inconspicuous place prior to applying all the stickers. Also, wait 10 to 15 days after painting before using stickers. Though the paint feels dry, it needs adequate time to "cure." As with any adhesive product, these will work much better on clean surfaces free of dust and the like. Specifically, they will work well on surfaces including but not limited to walls, mirrors, your fridge, laptop covers, tile, glass, lockers, furniture, and automotive surfaces.

one word!! APPLE!
Thank you for all the replies!! Life can be boring as hell without a computer. It's made me realize just how much time I spend reading forums... lol. Plus there's nothing good on TV in the summer. Ridiculous.
Anyway, I got a response from my cousin and I think from the sound of it, he doesn't want to be bothered to fix it. I don't know one thing about fixing the motherboard problem. The link was great though Creeping Death, but it's way way too complicated for me.
I did what Die Radio Die said, and I decided to order a Dell. But I won't be expecting it until around August 6-8... which is ridiculously slow! >_< So I gotta find a way to survive the next 2 weeks, as pathetic as that sounds.
Just a question. Is it possible to grab the old hard drives (I had 3 hard drives in the custom built computer) and somehow plug it into the new one? I have some music there, and lots of family photos that I would like to recover.
What has me most annoyed is my AIM Screen Name. The one I've been using for 5+ years. I totally forgot the password, and the e-mail I had registered with it long ago doesn't seem to exist anymore. So I can't figure out my password (whatever I put) or can't even get an email that gives me a new temporary password.

While it seems like most of you are allergic to the "like" button, I just want to personally say thanks for looking anyway.

This is pretty easy. If you open your old case, looking at the hard drives, you will see that there is a power cable and a data cable plugged into each one. The first thing you need to figure out what type of connection they are. If they are IDE drives the cable will be a wide, flat cable. If they are SATA, it will usually be a smaller, red cable with a black plug. The next thing you have to find out is how many free channels your new computer has. IDE will allow two devices per channel, were SATA will only allow one device per channel. Most likely, if it is a new computer, it will already have at least one SATA channel occupied by the new HD, and perhaps two or more if the CD /DVD drive is also SATA. It depends on the mobo that comes with your new machine, but most are at least 4 channel SATA, so if all three HDs from your old machine are SATA, more than likely, you will just be able to plug two of the three in, grab the data, then swap the drives out for the other. If you want all three permanently mounted in your new machine and you don't have enough SATA ports, you can always get SATA card that will fit in your IDE / eIDE slots to give you a few more SATA channels.
If all the HDs from your old machine are IDE, it is a little more involved. First thing you need to understand with these is that because two devices are allowed on one channel, one of the devices needs to be a master, and one needs to be the slave, or they both need to be set on cable select. If in your new machine, the CD or DVD drives are IDE, what ever else you put on that channel will have to be set to slave (because if something is sitting by itself on an IDE, it has to be master) - you can set master / slave setting usually by moving a jumper on the back of the drive, there is usually a little diagram printed on the HD showing you which jumper position is which. If you have a completely free IDE channel, be sure the two HDs your are hooking up to it are a combination of master and slave, and they are not both set to the same thing. If you have run out of IDE channels, you can also buy a card that will give you another, similar to a SATA card.
From 1991-2002 I made a point of buying all my PCs from a local Mom-n-Pop computer shop precisely because they knew me and I could bring the machine in for trouble-shooting on a same-day walk-in basis.
Mail-order (usually) = long-distance trouble-shooting (usually) = delays and communication hassles I don't need ..... but since 2002, PC clock speeds have gotten so high that I have had to buy from special quiet computer sources that are not local, but I've lucked out that the place I latched onto produces grade-A quality computers that haven't really needed any servicing: http://www.endpcnoise.com
