The food on the boat was only so so. They did not really understand Italian food at all. The Pizza was like cardboard warmed up and the other Italian food from the dining room was overly salted and not very good. They had some healthy options which were ok but all in all nothing really special.
Otherwise, we made some great friends and had a very memorable time. We were always able to find space away from the hoards of children and young families. The kids were managed very well, you barely noticed them on the boat if you didn't want to.
All in all I would recommend this ship but with lessened expectations. They show it as a very large and glamorous place but it really felt more like a small boat from the 90s.

North Carolina Ends Dolphin Winning Streak At Five
October 16, 1999
Jacksonville, Fla. - The 26th ranked University of North Carolina (17-3) ended Jacksonville University's five-match winning streak with a 3-0 (15-10, 15-6, 16-14) victory over the Dolphins at Swisher Gymnasium on Saturday night. With the victory, the Tar Heels improved their own winning streak to 14, while JU dropped to 10-8 on the season.
Carolina used a strong team defense at the net to hold Jacksonville to a .084 team hitting average for the match. The Heels' dominating defense, combined with the offensive play of senior Shannon Smith, was more than enough for the Tar Heels to post their eighth three game sweep of the season. Smith led the Tar Heels with 17 kills and a .583 hitting average, while posting five solo blocks and three block assists. Classmate Tori Seibert joined Smith in double-digit kills with 10 for UNC. Freshman Eve Rackham directed the Carolina offense with 36 assists, and sophomore Melissa Higgins chipped in with a team-high 10 digs.
The Tar Heels held Jacksonville's high-powered duo of senior Kelly Hickam and sophomore Carrie Arago to a combined 16 kills and a -.057 hitting average. Freshman Brooke Ahrens stepped up her play for the Dolphins, posting eight kills and a .333 hitting average, but it was not enough to overcome a taller and more physical UNC team. Sophomore Carrie Bosworth once again led the Dolphins with 23 assists, while adding seven kills, nine digs and three total blocks for Jacksonville.
The Dolphins will return to action on Tuesday, October 19th at 7:00 P.M. when they host their second straight ACC opponent, Florida State, in Swisher Gymnasium. The Tar Heels will return home for a ACC match with Clemson on October 22nd.

Young Gun: Freeride Mountain Bike Star Cam Zink Hits Oakley's One Icon Magazine-Issue 2
Some people would call Cam Zink crazy. Most people wouldn't speed down the side of a mountain and fly off a 40-foot cliff – busting out a 360 degree spin during the fall. And survive. But for Oakley's long-time MTB star, it's just another day on the job. Read about his rise to Red Bull Rampage (the most insane Freeride Mountain Bike event on the Planet) glory last year…all in Oakley's One Icon Magazine – Issue 2. And drop into the culture and spirit of Oakley.
Ironman: Oakley's Prominence at World Championships in Kona Highlighted in One Icon Magazine – Issue 2

But like all of our phenomenal athletes worldwide, it wasn't an easy climb to the top.

Beach Domination: Kerri Walsh Featured in One Icon Magazine, With New Bikini Line
We love using the phrase "Perform Beautifully." But few are as dominant at the "perform" part than Oakley's Beach Volleyball Star Kerri Walsh. With a new found fire after reuniting with long-time beach partner Misty May-Treanor, she's set to smash on rivals…every so beautifully that is…in her new bikini collection. The two are Globetrotting and amping up for another run at their third Gold Medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Watch out Kerri, scope out the new Oakley Swimsuit Line and check out her feature in the magazine!

Back to Back: Bryan Brothers Triumph at Monte-Carlo Masters, Tally 70 Team Titles
The Bryan Brothers may not be unbeatable. But they're pretty damn close. Oakley's long-time star Tennis twins emerged with another victory at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters Tournament in Monaco, topping Juan Ignacio Chela and Bruno Soares, 6-3, 6-2. Hot on the heels of another clay victory in Houston last week (River Oaks Country Club), this win marked their 70th Team Title – with 18 coming at the ATP World Masters 1000 level. The dynamic duo is now tied for second on the all-time list with Todd Woolbridge.
Scoring Machine: O's Anaheim Ducks Star Corey Perry Nabs Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy for Top NHL Goal Scorer
The Anaheim Ducks smashed their way into the playoffs. But it was Corey Perry's own individual rippage that really swung the momentum. The O slasher's heroic efforts and scoring during the last couple weeks of the regular season catapulted the team from a bottom of the barrel playoff position to the middle the pack. But make no mistake. He'd been doing that all season. (In his Oakley Hockey Visor, of course.) So much so that the right wing grabbed the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy as the NHL's top goal scorer for the 2010-11 season: the latest Duck since fellow Oakley athlete and legend Teemu Selanne took the inaugural award for his killer 1998-99 campaign.
Playoff Hope: Anaheim Ducks' Corey Perry Powers to 50 Season Goals and Third Career Hat Trick, Dominates in 6-2 Victory Over San Jose Sharks
If any Anaheim Ducks fans had any jitters about playoff hopes going into Wednesday's contest against the San Jose Sharks…there was one thing that detonated it all. And that thing's name is Corey Perry. Oakley's Hockey Star smashed in three goals (and his third career hat trick) in a 6-2 clobbering of the Sharks at the Honda Center, capping off an awesome 19 goals in the last 14 games – and a league leading 50 on the season. Coincidentally, it was the first time a Ducks slasher hit 50 big ones since fellow Oakley star Teemu Selanne sent 'em in during the 1998-98 campaign.
Hot Streak: Karrie Webb Tallies Second Straight LPGA Win at Founders Cup in Phoenix
Karrie Webb's drought ended…in the desert of all places. Oakley's Aussie Golfer nabbed her second straight LPGA Tour victory on March 20 at the LPGA Founders Cup in Phoenix after a long two years without a win. All on the heels of a resounding victory at the HSBC Women's Champions in the tour's second event of the year. With a final round of 6-under 66, Karrie powered to the top of the leaderboard and fought off fierce challenges from Americans Brittany Lincicome and Paula Creamer to emerge triumphant by a mere shot. Both Webb and Creamer shot their way to a 66, but Karrie had just enough of an edge through 36 holes to snatch the contest.
Rome: Cadel Evans Races to Tirreno-Adriatico Stage Race, Cancellara Grabs Time Trial
When in Rome…Oakley Cycling dominates. O's Aussie Star Cadel Evans emerged with the victory in the ancient city's Tirreno-Adriatico Stage race on March 15 – after grabbing the overall race lead the previous Sunday. All while fellow Oakley's World and Olympic Time Trial Champion Cyclist Fabian Cancellara sped his way into a San Benedetto del Tronto Time Trial triumph. "First stage race of the year is done and a good start to 2011 if I say so myself," Cadel said, rockin' his Radar (and new Fast Jacket™ performance eyewear off the course).
Speedy Opener: Kris Freeman Grabs US XC Ski 50 KM Classic Championship
Kris Freeman is a veteran…and it shows. The long-time US Ski Team speedster grabbed his third national 50 KM gold medal on March 26 at the US XC Ski National Championship event in Sun Valley, Idaho – skiing the smartest race on the 7-lap course with 4,491 vertical feet of climbing on freshly fallen snow. "I knew it was going to be a race of attrition," Kris said, rockin' his Oakley eyewear. "When we went up the big hill at the end of each lap (South Bench climb) we'd lose a few more skiers, and over time the group got smaller and smaller. I didn't feel like I put a hard move in, but eventually people got tired and I was able to ski away."
Fast Jacket: Janko Tipsarevic Lays Down Solid Showing at Sony Ericsson Open, Reaches Last 16 in New Eyewear
It's safe to say that Janko Tipsarevic is pumped on his new eyewear. Oakley's Global Tennis Star took to the court at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami these past couple weeks, clawing his way into the "Last 16" with solid wins over Robin Haase (6-4, 7-6), Marin Cilic (6-3, 7-6) and Philipp Petzschner (6-3, 6-3) before falling in the fourth round to formidable Frenchman Gilles Simon. His impressive showing was highlighted even more with the fact that he's one of Oakley's lucky few elite athletes that are putting O's brand new performance eyewear, the Fast Jacket™, into full action during major competition.

More refreshers courses needed, Penn State researchers say
By Summit Voice
SUMMIT COUNTY — High school biology teachers are only lukewarm when it comes to teaching evolutionary biology, despite 40 years of court rulings that teaching creationism or intelligent design violates the Constitution, according to Penn State political scientists. A mandatory undergraduate course in evolutionary biology for prospective teachers, and frequent refresher courses for current teachers, may be part of the solution, they say.
"Considerable research suggests that supporters of evolution, scientific methods, and reason itself are losing battles in America's classrooms," said Michael Berkman and Eric Plutzer, professors of political science at Penn State, in today's (Jan. 28) issue of Science. Continue reading

FINDLAY, OH (Toledo News Now) - It has been a tumultuous year for workers at Cooper Tire in Findlay, and now another rumor has been thrown into the mix. According to The Economic Times, Apollo Tyres out of India has shown interest in buying the northwest Ohio tire company.
Earlier this year, workers at the Cooper Tire and Rubber Company approved a new labor contract, ending a long lockout. On Thursday, an article by The Economic Times says Cooper Tire could be bought by a foreign tire manufacturer.
Apollo Tyres has begun the process of acquiring a majority stake in the Findlay-based company. Based out of Gurgoan, India, Apollo's website says the company has targeted a goal to become a top 10 world supplier of tires, and having a manufacturing facility in the United States is crucial.
If the deal goes through, this would be the third tire company Apollo has acquired over a six-year period. They acquired a South African company in 2006 and a Dutch manufacturer in 2009.
Cooper Tire is currently valued at $1.3 billion on the New York Stock Exchange. The overall cost of buying the company would be between $600 and $800 million.
Anne Roman, vice president of Communications & Public Affairs for Cooper Tire says "Cooper Tire has a strict policy of not commenting on rumors and speculation in the market."
The Cooper Tire Workers Union, USW Local 207, declined to comment as well.
Residents in Findlay know it is early in the process, but hope that the purchase of the factory will not mean people losing their jobs.
"My initial response is 'I don't like it at all.' I know people that do work at Cooper, and it's local. I like the fact that it is local , and I'd like to keep jobs here if we can," said Matt Hayden, a Findlay resident.
More than a thousand people work at the plant.

Ship: It has been remodeled, but the primary changes we noticed was that they cut the 17th floor Skywalker Lounge completely off the ship and permanently closed the retractable cover over the pool to save costs.
Service: Adequate, but without many experienced staff. Dinning staff was pleasant, helpful, and overworked, but generally lacked any special touches. It was much like a you would expect in a family restaurant. Cabin attendent was efficient and helpful, but on the first Formal Night I was headed toward the cabin in full dress and he was distributing ice and asked me if I could take my bucket to my room and put it in the frig. for him. That was fine with me, but gives you a nice picture of what I meant by "lacked any special touches".
Stateroom: Standard Mini-suite, clean, no mechanical or other issues, Dolfin level minisuite has no cover from sun or view from balconies below.
Food: By historic cruiseline standard the food was quite poor, both in terms of preparation and products to work with. It would a put a chain restaurant out of business. This was true in main dining and cafe lines. Specialty chop house was $25/person, and was definitely better, but not as special as these venues are on most ships. Steaks were still just mid-range quality, but OK. Do not order steaks in the main dining. Lunch cafe on upper deck for lunch is amazingly poor.
Entertainment: Music venues were good. We did not visit enough others events, but our other guests had all good comments.
Enrichment lectures: Despite >50% sea days there were not enrichment lectures. Very disappointing to many of us.
Value: With this large stockholder company now controling most of the large ship line (mass market), it is hard to compare, but the other company with 2 large lines provides significantly better food and service for the dollar.
General comment: Our expectations for Princess had been set so low from our last several experiences that it seemed quite nice, but nothing like the orginial Princess line. Stockholder demands for increasing profits will continue to downgrade the experience. We only took this cruise because of a family gathering that we were invited to.

"Look at her long fingers!" my husband said with pride when the doctor handed him our newborn baby.
"Look at her face!" I said in horror.
Don't get me wrong, Ava was beautiful from day one, it's just that those delicate fingers made her face look like it was on the loosing end of a fight with a weed whacker.
I examined her fingers closely and immediately saw the problem. Her fingernails were misshapen and torn. I shuddered. Immediately after giving birth most women bond with their baby by feeding them. I clipped my daughter's nails.
"Scraggly" nails as I describe them, are my pet peeve. The feeling is equivalent to watching flies feed on the crusted oatmeal in the corner of a baby's mouth. And it's not only un-filed nails that send me, but also bitten, flakey or dirty ones. Tonight a crazy man approached my daughter and me at Barnes & Noble. He smelled as if he hadn't bathed since Woodstock and had tried to disguise the stench with grain alcohol. He had two teeth to his name and his shorts were so tight I could see his pulse. I could forgive all of this. But when he brushed his hair from his face, I zeroed in on his nails, which looked as if he'd tried to hand dredge a septic system. I couldn't decide if I should run away or sit him down and heat up some paraffin.
I relish the chance to perform a mani/pedi on the needy. Twice a year, I give my mother-in-law a pedicure, which is no small task considering I have to remove the polish I painted 6 months prior. I even took on the feet of my 78-year-old father—with the help of a belt sander (I didn't know calluses could calcify).
I began painting Ava's nails as soon as she busted out of the swaddle. I'd sneak into her bedroom at night to apply a fresh coat and turn on the overhead fan to speed the drying process. She'd wake in the morning and stare at her fingers and toes in appreciation, as any girl would.
The polish caused people to notice her hands. "She going to be a pianist," they'd say. "Or maybe a surgeon." Secretly, I hoped for nail technician.
She had all the makings early on. At two, she could sit statue still even when I stretched her toes to capacity with oversized separators. She never complained, unless she chipped a nail.
"Mommy!" she'd cry. "My big daddy toe is all scraggly!"
That's when I knew she was ready.
Last summer I took her to her first spa pedicure. The massage chair shook her little body around like a maraca and I'm not sure she really needed her entire leg pumiced, but she seemed happy. As our toes dried, I looked down at her feet, red from the boiling soak and overzealous slough and asked what she thought.
"Can we do this every day, Mommy?"
I've had a lot of proud mommy moments, but none like this.
Like me, I think mani/pedis run in Ava's blood. Each night during her bath, she washes my feet. She soaps them up and gives me a massage, her long fingers tunneling through my tired toes. It's mommy heaven. She asks to paint them, but I won't let her—not until she completes her 2,000 hours as my apprentice.
In typical mommy/daughter fashion, Ava and I don't see eye-to-eye on many things. She loves pink; I like brown. She loves horses; I'm convinced they are domesticated dinosaurs. But when she "gasps" at another child's chipped polish and offers my services, I know my little apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree.
Read More From Blogs.
@Chris Paschke: Funny you should mention it, I've been trying to master the French braid for 3 years now. Had success at Ava's recent gymnastics showcase. Even got a compliment from another mom. I used hairspray, which seemed a little wrong--and yet so right .
By Andrea Goto on June 05, 2011
I love this for so many reasons. My husband and I just had our daughter in December so she is 5 mos old. I first polished her toes at 3 mos and some people thought I was out of my mind, but it looked so good!! I have done hair/nails for approx 12 years now so, needles to say, I can't wait until her hair grows long enough for me to braid and do tons of things with. I always look at nails and hair and I'm pretty positive my behaviors will rub off onto my daughter. It's so nice to see I'm not the only one...great blog!
By Chris Paschke on June 02, 2011
I completely agree w/ Sue Strmler~ The stinky comment leaver has prob. never had a mani/pedi. & is just jealous;) Love it!!

Loved your story! I find that the comment about the gentleman in the bookstore from a reader who is offended a wee bit off base! No where did I caught that he was "homeless"- life is too short to be constantly on the defensive! If there were more mothers like Andrea who share "Special Time" with their daughters maybe we wouldn't have so many troubled teenagers these days! See you at the Salon!

Hi Sweetie, My sides hurt from laughing. I am amazed by your incrediable talent and wonderful sense of humor! I just told your Mom you deserve a lot more pay than whatever it is your're getting! Love you bunches! Michelle

As someone who works with our homeless population, I found your remarks regarding the "crazy man" at Barnes and Noble insulting and insensitive including the comments about your in-laws. IF this was meant to be funny, I missed the humor completely.

By Rachel Dasti on May 15, 2011
Thanks for the Finger Painting blog.My mom is very particular about her nails-always kept short with clear polish.When I was home yet she would get on me if mine were not up to snuff or if I let them grow a bit and used colored polish. Funny now that I myself am a Lady of a Certain Age, my nails are always short with clear polish too.
By Jersey Lady on May 15, 2011
this is what I call a kodak moment, cause daughter tells mommy stuff that she wouldn't tell before and it stays at the spa.special moments.
By cindy on May 15, 2011
I appreciate your dedication and love to your daughter....but shuddering at the sight of your newborn baby... A gift from God...What if it had been something else...you couldn't fix ?

I never had a mother daughter moment like this...but have had a pedicure and it's always fun to have a good friend go with you and have lots of fun and laughter time.
By Debra Watts on May 15, 2011
heehee - I think we're a little guilty of this too in our house - I've been painting Naomi's toes since Valentine's Day (she was 9 months old), and I do not plan to stop until she leaves for college!
By Martha Lee on May 12, 2011
Hehe. This made me giggle at the thought of how much I loved nail polish as a girl and now, how I adore a pedicure. What a fun thing to share with your little girl!

@Andrea Lepinske: And let me guess, you paint your daughters' nails rainbow colored? I think it's all the PreK rage right now. As if it weren't hard enough to paint their nails ONE color. Thanks for your comment!
By Andrea Goto on May 11, 2011
I just love your stories and your blog

Watch Scholastic Stock SoarNews
January 15, 2003, 09:02 AM
I must admit, I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't found ANY information on Scholastics site under Corporate info or Kids area about the release date. However, it should be fun to watch Scholastic stock soar when US markets open this morning. Already Bloomsbury stock is quickly rising. We've placed the ticker symbols for both at the bottom of the left-hand navigation bar. Feel free to join in the amusement and watch yourselves.

In less than three months, Berthoud Police will be no more, as the town's board of trustees voted last week to suspend the struggling department and contract law enforcement services from the Larimer County Sheriff's Office. But when the transition becomes official on May 1, it'll happen with a whole new batch of officers.
Berthoud currently employs six officers, and that same number will continue to serve the town once the county takes over. Because of county rules, however, the current officers won't be eligible to work in Berthoud as police officers, as the sheriff's office will classify the town as a "special assignment" location. County officers on special assignment are required to undergo about six months of training, as well as a year of mandatory probation.
So until January 2016, when current Berthoud officers would theoretically be able to resume working there, the county will deploy a supervising sergeant, four deputies and a school resource officer. They'll also have a chief, and dispatch services will be provided by the county.
The officers serving the town now aren't necessarily out of a job come May 1. The county has opened a "modified hiring process" for them, meaning they may pursue employment with the county, without having to take a written test or pass a physical.
"They are all welcome to apply within the sheriff's office if they want. We're not going to just absorb them, but there is a hiring process that only they are eligible for now," said Feyen, who has served as Berthoud's interim police chief since former chief Glenn Johnson was placed on leave after possibly ignoring a September incident involving alleged child abuse from a town police officer. Feyen was offered the full-time job in Berthoud but has declined. In the new few weeks, town officials are expected to draw up a contract between Berthoud and the county. The current plan is to contract services for only 19 hours per day, meaning slower response times between 2 and 7 a.m.
"Their call volume from those hours, on average, is less than 1 call per night," Feyen said. "That's not an effective use of your money."

Is Nokia Web Runtime = Qt Web Runtime?
I understand wgt follows W3C standards while wgz is a bit Nokia standards, but the question is,
Will Nokia discontinue supporting wgz, and force all wgz convered to wgt? Or wgz will still alive as long as Symbian OS survives?
BTW, anyone tried Nokia Web SDK 1.0.1? The builtin emulator renders widgets a lot of differences comparing with the real handsets and the emulators from Symbian SDKs.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
By Christine Nelson - bio l email
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - This is Margaret Wallace Road. The windy two-lane road runs east of Independence Boulevard. Based on the See, Click, Fix post I printed before coming out here, a viewer writes to us: "Street sign misspelled"
The "Margaret" in Margaret Wallace is spelled M-A-R-G-A-R-E-T. But go to the street sign at the 3200 block and this is what you'll see.
Can you tell what's missing?? Ask for a vowel here...and you'll miss the chance to solve this puzzle!
It's the letter "R" that's missing on both sides of the sign, between the first letter "A" and the letter "G."
WBTV Reporter Christine Nelson took pictures with her trusty camera phone not necessarily to post on Facebook, but to send to Charlotte DOT to find out when it will be removed and changed.
CDOT emailed back after bringing it to their attention . Right now officials have CDOT operations looking into it.
We drove a few more miles on Margaret Wallace Road to check if other street signs had typos too. Only the one sign was misspelled.

Shortly after 3 a.m. on Saturday, a garage was destroyed in a fire on Pasco Road.
Dennis Leger, aide to Fire Commissioner Joseph Conant, told CBS 3 the cause of the fire is electrical.
He said the total damage is approximately $20,000.
That is $15,000 for the destroyed one-car garage and $5,000 for the contents inside.

Have a safe journey home, third umpire!
Opening for England now, Ashwin is due a failure surely and it should be very close on first innings.
That's an incredible bit of fielding too. Run-in, pick up, throw all perfect to the inch.
his 99 is as good as the 103 by kohli.
on this pitch a 100 is like 150

- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change
Shouldn't have been given out. But batsman gets piss all benefit these days. May or may not have been out between frames, but looked to me like some part of the bat MAY have been behind the line at the first frames the bails are off. Bugger me to be hung on that evidence.
feeling bad for dhoni for once.
he really deserved it
Chawla must be dissapointed here.
Compared to Jadeja's 3 triple tons, and Ashwin's batting ability he hasn't gotten any plugin at all.

STAGE PORTRAIT: Mary Broome's Kristin Griffith, Graeme Malcolm, Janie Brookshire, Roderick Hill
Acclaimed illustrator Ken Fallin's drawings of the greatest stars and scenes of the theatrical world are a recurring part of Playbill.com.
This week Fallin captures The Mint Theater Company's production of Allan Monkhouse's 1911 comedy Mary Broome, which has been extended an additional week of performances through Oct. 21.
Pictured below are (clockwise from top left): Kristin Griffith, Graeme Malcolm, Janie Brookshire and Roderick Hill.
Ken Fallin began his career as an illustrator by lovingly mimicking the style of the late, legendary Al Hirschfeld for the poster art for Forbidden Broadway. Since that time he has been a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal as well as The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Hollywood Reporter, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune and The New Yorker.
His work has illustrated major ad campaigns for American Express, Showtime and Belvedere Vodka. Most recently, he was nominated for a 2010 Emmy for his animated commercial for CNBC.

Reinventing the PC
(Sorry, I am an Apple fanboy, fanboys please forgive me just this once)
I really like Windows 8. That's not because its 101% perfect. Like OS X it's not without it's faults.
It's what Windows 8 allows you to do. It doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care if your using a tablet or a laptop. Quite the opposite of iOS and OS X.
That's why it create's an almost new category. A tabtop, if that's the name (you know tab from tablet and top from laptop. Microsoft believes this is the way forward, and that's quite a radical thought. Apple on the other hand believe's the two categories shouldn't mix. They believe that a tablet should stay a tablet (not have a full OS) and that your fingers connection to the screen of a Mac is through the trackpad. I sort of agree with both philosophies.
However the part where I side with Windows 8 is with the possibilities.
For a minute take the time to watch this ad:
That's not a bad example of what Windows 8 can do with hardware.
I however have other ideas. Imagine this:
The tab part of the tabtop can have up to 128 GB of storage. That's one micro SD slot and a 64GB SSD. It also includes one USB 3.0 port and 2GB of RAM
The internals of the tab includes an AMD CPU and GPU chipset that lets you play COD 2 at 30 fps (AMD has produced a chip like this).
But none of this is truly special. The magic is all in the connection between the tab and the top. That connection is amazing. It lets you harness the power of a SATA connection. Thus, the magic is in the lap (excuse the pun).
Alright so here's the biggie, and please include all the specs from the tab part of the machine when reading the following. When you connect the tab to the lap you add-on or include the following components: dedicated graphics card (now this is on top of the AMD chipset mentioned above, imagine he gameplay you could get out of a dual graphics combo), a 256 SSD and 500 GB HDD, another AMD CPU (the miracle of dual CPU's), 4GB RAM (yeah, thats 6GB altogether...) and two more USB 3.0 ports for good measure. Just think of the possibilities. A power machine. And in such a small package.
This isn't possible now is it? No. Just look at the Surface. And the MacBook Air.
So where's reinventing the PC for a post PC era now?
And all because of Windows 8.

I'd love a 600/4 with a built-in 1.4x TC. Not sure we'll see one soon, though.
Ditto, that would be amazing. Not that I would buy one...I can't imagine selling the 600/4 II I just bought this year, and the existing TC's work excellent on it...but the convenience of just flipping a switch would indeed be nice.
I'm intrigued by the 300-600 f/5.6 TC. Quite intriguing. I never expected to see a zoom in such a focal length from Canon. Maybe we never will, but the fact that they are researching it is indeed intriguing.

We have all heard it a million times: "Eat your vegetables." But what if we ended that with "It will save your life?"
It's a sentence Dr. Cynthia Thomson is proving to be true.
"Among the women taking Tamoxifen the vegetables had a very significant effect in terms of enhancing and improving survival," said Thomson.
For years Thomson has been trying to figure out how a compound in vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale seems to enhance the effectiveness of the drug Tamoxifen.
She has isolated that compound, that she calls DIM, and is now doing a randomized study here in Tucson, thanks to a $3 million grant.
In the study women are asked to take the supplement or a placebo for 18 months. They'll get periodic MRIs to measure breast characteristics. These days everyone is looking for an answer to curing the big "C."
For patients like Theresa Spicer, who sought Thomson's council as a co-worker and friend, she believes that making an effort to eat healthy does have life saving benefits before, during and after treatment.
"You have to continue to really work and make your lifestyle different, healthier, make the right choices," said Spicer. In Thomson's experience, women who start a healthy regimen have long-lasting benefits.
"They see the benefits, they feel better, they've been through a tough treatment and for them it's inspiring to get back on track," said Thomson.
Loading your plate with greens and your schedule with exercise helps, Spicier says, but you still need a support crew.
"Cyndi has been my rock, she is a wonderful person doing wonderful work," Spicer said. Work that they hope one day will help fight, cure and prevent cancer.

Sweet and briny flavored, clams come in many varieties, both hard-shell and soft-shell.
Season: Year-round on the East Coast and in the Pacific Northwest.
How to Choose Clams
Purchase fresh clams live in their shells. When buying hard-shell clams (a.k.a. quahogs), such as littlenecks, cherrystones, or large chowder clams, look for tightly closed shells; if you can easily separate them, that means the clam is dead and should be discarded. Soft-shell clams, such as New England steamers and West Coast razor clams, have thin, brittle shells that don't close all the way. To determine whether a soft-shell clam is still alive, touch its neck lightly; it should move.
How to Store Clams
Keep live clams in their shells in a bowl in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Do not immerse in water or seal in plastic or they will die. Shucked clams can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
How to Prepare Clams
To shuck a hard-shell clam, wedge a thick, blunt knife between the shells opposite the clam's hinge. Run the knife through the shell and twist open gently, preserving as much of the fresh clam juice inside as possible. Rinse New England steamers thoroughly before cooking. Tough, sandy razor clams should be soaked in salted water for a couple hours in the refrigerator, then carefully rinse before cooking.
How to Use Clams
When small to medium-size hard-shell clams are fresh, it's best to eat them raw, on the half shell. Larger clams are less tender and are often chopped for use in chowders. Clams are delicious steamed or in basic dishes, like fettuccine with clam sauce, that let the clams' flavor shine through.

How to Handle Being Hated
Perhaps the worst part about parenting is hearing those dreaded three words from the mouth of your babe: "I hate you." You realize it's a childish outburst, but the words still sting. Here are some ways to deal when your daughter turns defiant.
"My mom just won't quit nagging me," grumbles 14-year-old Amanda. "She's always on me about something -- grades, cleaning up my room, what I'm wearing, who I'm hanging with. It's endless. And it makes me crazy. Right now I hate my mom."
But it wasn't always this way. Not long ago, Amanda and her mom, Brenda, were inseparable. "We'd shop, go to movies, we even liked the same TV shows," explains Brenda. "It all changed around the time Amanda turned 12. She started hanging out with girls in middle school that I felt were a bad influence. Her grades began to suffer. Suddenly my role was rule-maker and enforcer."
"Adolescence is a time of separation from what the child considers controlling, out of touch and nagging parental relationships," explains David Kipper M.D., a Beverly Hills-based internist and author of The Addiction Solution. As part of his practice, Dr. Kipper handles youth addiction issues and deals with many parents in distress. He says the tween period is especially volatile for mothers and daughters. "It's a transition from cute to combat and the stress it creates is enormous…and predictable."
Dr Kipper offers these five ways to make it manageable:
1. Pick Your Battles
Most moms want to establish rules around curfew, money, schoolwork, dating, drinking, drugs and shopping, according to Susan Shapiro Barash, author of You're Grounded, Now Let's Go Shopping. "Assess your daughter's personality and understand what she might be most at risk for," says Dr. Kipper. "What are the things worth fighting for? Is she making bad choices about friends? Is she at risk for taking drugs, drinking, or smoking? Are her grades suffering? Don't try to tackle everything, just what matters most."
2. Be Flexible
Just because you had certain rules growing up, it doesn't mean the same holds true for your daughter. For instance, Dr. Kipper says to consider setting a curfew that is consistent with your daughter's group. If her appearance is an issue, take a look at how her peers dress and then agree on something that's acceptable to you both.
3. Enlist a Friend's Help
When author Bruce Feiler (Council of Dads) thought he was dying of cancer, he enlisted six male friends to help raise his daughters in his absence. Feiler discovered that his anointed group offered wisdom, comfort and hope to his daughters even while he battled -- and eventually came through -- the cancer scare. The friends, it turned out, were just as valuable helping to raise Feiler's daughters while he was still living. "Recruit a trusted friend, aunt, doctor, teacher, anyone that your daughter respects, to help keep her boundaries clear," advises Dr. Kipper. "Remember, she needs to separate from you in order to be independent, but she has no tools. Your message will have a greater of chance of sticking if you have someone else to help encourage your daughter in the right direction."
4. Make Time for Mother/Daughter Fun
Whether it's shopping, watching a sports game or a favorite TV show, listening to music, or cooking together, make sure to take the time to do these things regularly with your daughter. And let it be on her terms, meaning let her make decisions about the activity, and even lead it.
5. Focus on Yourself
Do things that make you happy and don't include your daughter. It can be something fun (dinner with girlfriends or bowling with your husband), impulsive (an afternoon movie), or self-indulgent (a spa treatment). It might mean attending a regular yoga or exercise class, a book club, or some spiritual activities. "You will accomplish two things," says Dr. Kipper. "You reduce your own stress, and you set a good example for your daughter."

Detailed Description:
Gaucher disease is characterized by lysosomal accumulation of glucosylceramide due to impaired glucosylceramide hydrolysis. Gaucher disease type 1, which is the most common form, accounts for >90% of cases and does not involve the CNS. Typical manifestations of Gaucher disease type 1 include splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, thrombocytopenia, anemia, bone disease, and decreased quality of life. The disease manifestations are caused by the accumulation of glucosylceramide (storage material) in macrophages (called Gaucher cells) which have infiltrated the spleen and liver as well as other tissues.
Eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) is a small molecule drug developed as an oral therapy which acts to specifically inhibit production of this storage material in Gaucher cells.
This study is designed to determine the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) in adult patients with Gaucher disease type 1 who have been stabilized on enzyme replacement therapy.

Paws for Love Celebrates 15th Anniversary: On Saturday night, Feb. 8, from 6 to 10 p.m. the Finley Community Center (2060 West College Ave., Santa Rosa), will be filled with animal lovers buying animal-created art and celebrating the success of one woman's tender vision.
One day more than 15 years ago, Ellyn Boone was inspired by her pup's footprints. That inspiration spawned a series of paintings that Boone completed with shelter animals.
She rented an empty store front in Healdsburg, hoping to make a few hundred dollars that she could donate to a local animal group. Sale of the paintings yielded a whopping $11,000 and the Paws for Love Gala Auction and Foundation were born.
All these years later, the foundation has helped thousands of animals throughout the country.
It supports spay and neuter clinics and senior-to-senior pet adoptions, funds emergency surgeries and more, all with funds raised at the annual auction and gala, along with a few other events.
"Only in Sonoma County," Boone often says of her labor of love.
The gala features nearly 100 framed paintings created by animals using their paws, tails and whiskers, along with passed appetizers, wine, a live auction, a raffle for a cruise and more, including a tarot card reader and a chance to meet adoptable animals.
This year, wines will be donated by Kenwood, Mutt Lynch and Pedroncelli.
Advance tickets are $40 and $50 at the door. You can find them at www.pawsforlove.info and at a variety of locations throughout Sonoma County, including Western Farm Center (21 West Seventh St., Santa Rosa), and Fideaux (43 North St., Healdsburg).
Shed Supper: On Thursday, Feb. 6, chef Colleen McGlynn of DaVero teams up with two friends, San Francisco chef Loretta Keller of Coco500 and Angelo Garro of Renaissance Forge for a four-course winter dinner, which gets started at 6 p.m.
This is a great opportunity for fans of McGlynn — she is a longtime favorite chef — who may not have many chances to enjoy her cooking and also a perfect opportunity to savor Keller's kitchen genius without driving into the city.

2 Jamaicans for women's 400m finals
BARCELONA, Spain - Jamaica will field two contestants in tomorrow's women's 400m finals at the 14th IAAF World Junior Championships at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium here, after Olivia James and Chrissann Gordon both qualified from today's semi-finals.
James, the World Youth Championships bronze medallist, produced a season's best 52.71 seconds for second in her semi-final heat behind the USA's Ashley Spencer- 52.24 seconds for an automatic spot.
Gordon, however, had to wait after finishing fourth in her semi-final in 52.70 seconds in what turned out to be the fastest of the three semi-finals.
Gordon's ability to take her place in Friday's final is still uncertain, however, after she was taken off the track on a stretcher after she lay down on the track holding her leg.
Meanwhile, Javon Francis ran out of heroics as he finished ninth in the men's 400m finals in 47.57 seconds after twice lowering his personal best from 47.16 seconds to 46.31 seconds in the first round, then to 46.06 seconds in the semi-finals yesterday.

I find myself back at Cordova Elementary School several times a year in this job. Most recently, I was there interviewing Sabra Brown about being Teacher of the Year.
Although I'm biased because she was my teacher about 20 years ago, I'm sure no one deserved the title more. I also discovered that no one could have wanted it less.
Ms. Brown told me repeatedly during our time together that her devotion to her students is not unique.
Hopefully she won't take an apple off of my tree for bad behavior, but I have to disagree.
It takes a special individual to want to be a teacher. I certainly didn't even though the only career advice I was given in high school was to become an English teacher.
I knew myself too well to seriously entertain that notion. Not everyone has the same good sense.
There are plenty of bad teachers out there. Some are incurably inept. Others get so fed up with bureaucrats trying to "fix" education that they forget why they went into teaching.
A friend told me about a great teacher she knows who was once docked points during an inspection for explaining the word "arid." Her crime was introducing a little science during story hour.
Never mind that a child had asked for the definition. Apparently it was not the correct time to be curious.
Even kindergarten teachers get told what to do by the folks in Montgomery and Washington.
Ms. Brown wasn't trained to teach 5-year-olds to read. In my day, she could spend the whole year on letters and sounds, which she loves, and let our first grade teacher build on those fundamentals.
Now she has to rush through the alphabet so they can start reading before they even learn which block on the rug has been assigned to them.
Rather than complaining about what is expected of her and the children, Ms. Brown has found a way to combine what she wants to do with what she has to do.
When I walked into her classroom that afternoon, I noticed Ms. Brown writing something on the board.
The rest of the class was sounding it out while Ms. Brown offered them hints on some of the trickier syllables. One student stood nearby with a blender.
Once they "blended" the sounds into the correct word, the blender whirled in their honor and the game continued.
All too soon it was time for them to go home.
Before they left, they told me that they can now count to 100. They also let me in on an inside joke that they are 87 days smarter and Ms. Brown is 87 days older than when school started.
I couldn't help but smile as they all shook their heads and said, "Poor Ms. Brown."
She had another teacher walk them to the pick-up area so she could answer some questions for me.
As they filed out of the classroom, she kissed each of them on the head and told them that she loved them, to be safe over the weekend, to not forget some part of their homework and little things like that.
I love my kid with all my heart. I would care for any others entrusted to me to the best of my ability, but I'm not sure I could actually love them like Ms. Brown does.
Although we couldn't and didn't discuss the specifics of any student, she told me that she once had a child who had to be watched very carefully at school. I gathered that there was someone in the little girl's life who had threatened to take her.
Ms. Brown thought about what to do if the worst were to occur and decided that she would go with her. I have no doubt that she would have too.
I also learned that she has taught many special needs children. One mother later commented that it meant so much to her when Ms. Brown insisted that her son be in her room.
We talked for more than an hour that afternoon.
I was just about to walk out the door when she told me to have a good weekend.
I stopped and smiled. I was 5 years old again and back in the classroom that was once my window to the world without letting me see how cruel and scary it can be.
The day was an adventure, my hard work was going to earn me a smiley face sticker and I still had the bestest teacher in the whole wide world.
