She takes off her top and is left in her shorts and bra, swaying and grinding her hips as she pulls down the shorts to expose a pair of sexy pink cotton panties that cover up a beautiful bubble shaped ass that has been toned to perfection with hours of workouts and aerobics.

Why We Should Keep Trying To Time Travel
H.G. Wells coined the term "time machine" all the way back in 1895, just a decade before Einstein published his groundbreaking paper on special relativity that would begin show how time travel is possible. The fascination with using technology to look into the past or the future hasn't faded in the last century.

Nothing will make you grumpier than actually having to go to the Post Office to send a piece of snail mail. In honor of the antiquated practice of delivering physical pieces of paper with hand-written messages on them (just typing all of that made us grumpy), Zazzle has created a usable U.S. postage stamp featuring feline Internet star Grumpy Cat. According to the site, "Zazzle's medium custom stamps fit especially well on greeting card or RSVP envelopes." The card may say "Happy Birthday," but the stamp lets the recipient know, "this is how I feel about sending this greeting out of social obligation" …

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, a...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series dat...

Taking Looks at Books
Wednesday, November 26, 2014
ROOMS by Lauren Oliver
I'm not big on ghost stories, because they seem a little silly to me. In this case, the ghosts are two women who inhabited the same house at different times. The latest inhabitant, Richard Walker, has died, and his estranged family have come for the funeral and to clean out the house. Ex-wife Caroline is the alcoholic mother of Trenton, a melancholy teenager, and his much older acerbic sister Minna, who has a toddler of her own. Minna is basically a sex addict, but all three of these characters are so maladjusted that the ghosts, Alice and Sandra, seem relatively sane by comparison. Sandra died in the house of a gunshot wound, and Alice's memories are equally depressing, without such a violent finale. As you can see, this is not exactly an upbeat story. It has a few twists but nothing really jaw-dropping, and I kept having to back up to see which of the ghosts was narrating. Their stories don't directly relate to the lives of the living, and the author made such an effort to delay telling us Alice's and Sandra's histories that the shock value had lost most of its punch, and the histories were too segmented for me to become immersed in. Only Richard really seemed to have had a zest for living, and now he's gone. Also, our view of him is skewed by the warped opinions of his family, so that we never have a real grasp of who he was. Trenton is the one we root for, but with this bunch surrounding him, he doesn't really stand a chance. A third ghost joins the party late in the book. Trenton is aware of her presence and finds her intriguing enough to give him a reason to keep on living, but, ironically, she beckons to Trenton to come join her on the other side.

FLORENCE GORDON by Brian Morton
Florence Gordon has a lot in common with Olive Kitteridge. In both books the title character is a feisty, sharp-tongued, snobbish, older woman who tells it like she sees it. Florence is a feminist writer, known only to a few faithful followers until her latest book receives a glowing review in the NY Times. She enlists her granddaughter Emily as her assistant, but Emily is the big winner in this uneasy relationship. Florence never softens, but Emily begins to see Florence as a role model for standing up for herself and finds that she can dish it out just as well as Florence when the situation calls for the blunt truth. Florence does, however, harbor a secret that would invite all sorts of fawning and sympathy if she were to disclose it, and sympathy is the last thing she wants. There's one scene where Florence unmercifully dresses down the volunteer who serves as her driver for a book-signing event. When Dolly, the volunteer, tries to persuade Florence to read her manuscript, we know that she is in store for a tongue-lashing. Dolly accepts her punishment, however, with grace and good humor, and Florence finds herself admiring this woman's aplomb. No one is exempt from Florence's disapproval, including her son, Daniel, who is a well-educated cop, and his wife Janine, who is an overly enthusiastic fan of Florence's work. Florence's ex-husband Saul tries to enlist Florence's help in resurrecting his career, but you can imagine how that discussion goes. There are several sparkling conversations in this book in which Florence always has the upper hand, until her final verbal battle with Emily, in which Emily proves that she has learned from the master how to hold her own. Certainly the dialog is the star of this novel, eliciting cringes from the reader as we wonder how Florence has any bridges left to burn.

COLORLESS TSUKURU TAZAKI AND HIS YEARS OF PILGRIMAGE by Haruki Murakami
This is my first Murakami novel, and I have to say this: He needs a better translator. The dialog was unnatural, and the smattering of unnecessary split infinitives was annoying. I have to blame the author, though, for the zillion loose ends not tidied up by the end of the novel. In high school Tsukuru finds himself joining 2 other men and 2 women in a very tight-knit group of friends. Tsukuru is the only one of the five who goes away to college, and soon one of the men in the group tells him that the group is severing ties with Tsukuru completely, with no further explanation. Tsukuru is dumbfounded but makes no effort to find out why the group has so unceremoniously dumped him. He goes into a tailspin and contemplates death until another young man befriends him and drags him out his funk. In his 30s, Tsukuru meets Sara and becomes romantically attached to her. She, however, feels that Tsukuru's past is interfering with his ability to sustain a close relationship, and she insists that he visit the other 4 members of his old clique to find out why they ousted him. What ensues is not so much a pilgrimage as an awakening as to how the truth will set you free. Tsukuru's self-esteem ironically has suffered for all these years over a schism partly brought about by his perceived emotional strength, relative to the other members of the group. Auras and erotic dreams fuel Tsukuru's self-loathing and, coupled with a particularly odd tale about death, lend this book a sort of otherworldly atmosphere that does feel culturally peculiar and foreign, despite the universal themes. I recommend that you take this journey with Tsukuru, as long as you're not expecting closure. Colorless it is not.

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK by Piper Kerman
Piper Kerman may not be one of the best writers in the world, but her work here is good enough. And the subject matter is an eye opener. I don't even mind that she's capitalizing on a serious mistake of her youth to produce this revealing portrait of a minimum security women's prison. I have not seen a single episode of the TV series based on this memoir, but I now have a pretty clear idea of why it's popular. If you think a women's prison is all cat fights among lesbians, you would be dead wrong. Quite the contrary. Most of the women Piper meets on the inside would be living productive lives on the outside if they were given half a chance. Unfortunately, they have neither Kerman's resources nor her extensive, caring, and extremely loyal support from friends and family. Kerman makes sure that her reader understands that prison is not a happy place, especially for those women serving a decade or more with little hope for a better life after their release. Kerman's sentence of 15 months is not what brings her to the realization of the impact of her crime of transporting drug money. Rather, she sees how illegal drugs have kept so many women in prison, often distanced from their children, and that these women are often repeat offenders. Kerman's keen observations make a strong case for the cessation of the war on drugs, because the U.S. government is spending billions of dollars on room and board for women who pose no threat to society. What's even more striking is how these women form makeshift families in prison and do all they can to help their fellow inmates adjust and cope. Theirs is a mostly congenial sisterhood where everyone has to bury their rage at the system so as not to jeopardize their ultimate goal--freedom.

LAST TRAIN TO PARADISE by Les Standiford
Henry Flagler, along with John D. Rockefeller, founded Standard Oil, and became a multi-millionaire. According to him, he would have died a rich man if it hadn't been for Florida. As a recent transplant to the Sunshine State, I have to say that I'm glad he spent so much of his fortune here. He dredged Miami Harbor to put that city on the map and connected it to the rest of the country with railroad tracks. Long before Disney came to Orlando, Flagler built several resort hotels, making Florida a destination, even before air conditioning made the state inhabitable in the hot, sticky summers. His claim to fame, though, and the subject of this book, is the building of a rail line connecting Key West to the mainland. I know nothing about structural engineering, but I can still appreciate what a feat he and his men accomplished, proving the naysayers wrong and battling mosquitoes and hurricane after hurricane. Weather forecasting was virtually non-existent in the early 1900s, and Flagler soon found that floating dormitories for his workers could become watery coffins. He pushed on, though, adapting to the elements and rebuilding when wind and water destroyed months of work. His plans to make Key West a shipping hub did not pan out, but the tourists came in droves, so that when a 1935 hurricane blew out sections of the Seven-Mile Bridge, the federal government stepped in to replace and repair. I'm not a big history buff, but I can't deny the monumental contributions that Flagler made to the state of Florida, and I have to wonder if native Floridians are familiar with his accomplishments. Plus, he began the "railroad across the ocean" after he was well into his seventies, thus becoming one of the early geriatrics to make his home in Florida. However, a retiree he was not, and I applaud his energy, his vision, his determination, and his audacity.

THE BLOOD OF FLOWERS by Anita Amirrezvani
In seventeenth century Iran, our unnamed narrator has reached the marriageable age of fourteen. When her father dies, she and her mother basically become servants in the home of her father's half-brother and his tyrannical wife. The young narrator makes so many unforgiveable blunders that she is forced into a temporary marriage, which will bring in a little money, but the loss of her virginity will make finding a permanent husband that much more unlikely. The upside is that the narrator is becoming an accomplished Persian rug maker, with some excellent advice regarding design and color from her uncle, who makes carpets for the Shah. Finally, our narrator's transgressions, which include lying and forgery, invoke the ire of the uncle's wife to the point that she and her mother have to vacate the premises. To say that our girl is impetuous and naïve is an understatement. Considering the limited options available to women and the precariousness of the narrator's situation, her behavior is bewilderingly outrageous and more than a little exasperating. In fact, I found her to be not quite believable in this regard. She foolishly puts her and her mother's situation at risk time and time again, apparently thinking each time that no one will discover her deceits. Even a fourteen-year-old should be able to learn from her mistakes. When she destroys a rug that she was making, knowing that her uncle had paid for the wool yarn, what does she think will happen? The other characteristic of this book that I did not like is that the author frequently interrupts the story with an Iranian fable, not all of which are authentic. These are way too lengthy and not at all vital to the plot. I realize that the author is trying to evoke a mood appropriate to the setting, but I read each of these tales with the sense that I was wasting my time.

THE INTERESTINGS by Meg Wolitzer
A cool group of teenagers at an artsy summer camp dub Julie Jacobson "Jules," and the new name fits her new attitude and aspirations. The other members of the group have various talents, but Ethan, an unattractive genius at animation is the standout, and he has a thing for Jules. She, on the other hand, has eyes only for Goodman, ironically named, since he turns out not to be a "good man" at all. Goodman's beautiful sister Ash becomes fast friends with Jules, and they remain close into adulthood, even as they become mothers at almost the same time. Their lives, however, could not be more different, as Ash is now the wife of the enormously successful Ethan, while Jules has married Dennis, a lovable guy but an outsider to Jules's more polished friends. Two prevailing themes struck me as intriguing in this book. One is the question of how do social and economic inequity affect friendship. Ash and Jules had very different social circles growing up, and their increasingly divergent lifestyles cause Jules to lose confidence in her value as a friend to Ash. Would a large monetary gift lift Jules and Dennis out of their constant financial struggle, or would it make them feel even more resentful and inadequate? The other theme that I noticed was that of loyalty. Ash finds herself in a sticky spot where she has to choose whether to align herself with her husband or with her parents and brother. This is not the kind of choice most of us ever have to make, and, honestly, the choice is as much one of right and wrong as it is a choice of loyalty. I get it that so many parents have blinders over their eyes when it comes to the wrongdoings of their children, but Ash's staunch support of her brother reflects badly on her character. Jules, unfortunately, gets caught in the middle, and although the issue at hand is in some ways tangential to the plot, it's a prime indicator of each character's moral compass. Jules finds herself in Ash's court, refusing to acknowledge that she's on the wrong team. Will Jules ever develop a backbone?

It seems as though we can hardly have a holiday without guacamole showing up on the buffet. I think the only time I haven't seen guacamole at a festive gathering was during Hanukkah. Of course that would be pretty weird to have guacamole with latkes.Guacamole is a delicious party starter. The luxurious texture of the avocados and the tart lime really get the juices flowing and the palate opened. Guacamole originated with the Aztecs and means "avocado-sauce". Typically made in a molcajete (lava rock mortar and pestle) guacamole has been referred to as the poor man's butter. I love guacamole because it's a good way to get salty corn chips in my mouth. I suppose I could go with the more healthy cucumber and jicama slices, but those crunchy chips really just do it for me.Guacamole is also the perfect burger topper. The creamy spread marries perfectly with your favorite beef or turkey burger. Everyone has their idea of the perfect guacamole with some preferring chunky versus creamy textures as well as add-ins like roasted garlic, tomatillos (my own favorite), grilled cactus paddles and more. I also love avocado cream on my raw tuna tacos. When the heat is on and I cannot endure the thought of turning on my oven or grill, I like to take sushi quality tuna marinated in a little lime juice and wrap it in a corn tortilla generously lubricated with creamy, tart avocado cream.Guacamole is a delicious party starter and perfect for any occasion; except Hanukkah.Guacamole1 small red onion, minced finely1-2 garlic cloves grated on a micro-plane2 ripe tomatoes, diced3 ripe avocados seeded and taken out of the skin and mashed2 Serrano peppers (or your favorite hot pepper), minced2-3 tablespoons lime juice2 tablespoons chopped cilantroKosher salt and pepperSuggested garnishes: sliced radishes, toasted pumpkin seeds1.

Delmarva Power gets 1.1% rate increase
Send this to a friend
- Jeff Clabaugh
- Staff Reporter
Delmarva Power has won approval for a 1.1 percent rate increase in Maryland, about half the increase it had requested.
The Maryland Public Service Commission approved the distribution rate increase for Delmarva's Maryland customers, most of whom are on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The average monthly residential bill will increase by $1.66, Delmarva said.
Commercial and industrial customers in Maryland will also see rates go up 1.1 percent.
"This modest increase is justified primarily by construction costs incurred for the purpose of improving the reliability of the company's electric distribution system," the PSC said in a statement. Distribution rates cover infrastructure costs and are separate from supply rates.
The increase will generate an additional $7.5 million for the utility, half of what it had hoped to win approval for.
"We are disappointed, but we understand the Commission's concern for customers in these challenging economic times," Delmarva Power president Gary Stockbridge said in a statement.
Delmarva Power, a subsidiary of Pepco Holdings Inc. (NYSE: POM) says it is the third time in 15 years it has raised distribution rates.

Questions turn to U.S. competence in Snowden saga
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration has spent the past few weeks arguing it can wield power responsibly after Edward Snowden unveiled its sweeping spying programs. Now the administration must prove it can wield power effectively.
As the 30-year-old leads the world's lone superpower on a global game of hide and seek, U.S. government officials faced questions about whether they had botched the effort to extradite Snowden from Hong Kong to face charges related to his leak of classified information.
The latest wrinkle in the Snowden saga poses a different set of questions for an administration that has spent weeks fending off questions about whether it has abused its power to collect taxes, investigate criminal activity and fight terrorism.
On Monday, administration officials said they had done all they could to bring Snowden to justice. Chinese defiance, rather than bureaucratic bungling, had allowed the 30-year-old former contractor to slip out of Hong Kong as officials there weighed Washington's request for extradition, they said.
"This was a deliberate choice by the government to release a fugitive, despite a valid arrest warrant," White House spokesman Jay Carney said at a briefing.
Carney said early Monday afternoon that it was the U.S. assumption that Snowden was still in Russia after fleeing Hong Kong for Moscow over the weekend.
Other administration officials tried to dispel any notion of foot-dragging since Snowden first went public on June 9, and dismissed suggestions that they could have taken other steps to detain Snowden, who had gained access to highly sensitive information as a contract systems administrator at a National Security Agency facility in Hawaii.
Snowden's exact whereabouts were a mystery on Monday as Russia resisted White House pressure to stop him during his journey to escape U.S. prosecution.
Reporters staking out an Aeroflot flight to Havana from Moscow on Monday, saw no sign of Snowden. The captain told reporters on emerging from customs: "No Snowden, no."
Ecuador said it was considering Snowden's request for asylum, and advocates in the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks were also asking Iceland to take him in.
Snowden's decision to go on the lam creates another headache for the Obama administration, which has seen priorities like immigration reform threatened by a string of scandals.
Republicans in Congress say the Obama administration has abused its power by targeting conservative groups for heavy-handed tax scrutiny and seizing reporters' phone records in the process of investigating security leaks.
When it comes to the NSA revelations, most lawmakers were already aware of the surveillance program and few have raised objections. Republicans by and large have focused their criticism on Snowden and China rather than the administration.
That may change if the ordeal drags on. Republican Representative Peter King of New York on Monday said Obama should have taken a harder line with the Chinese authorities who ultimately control the semi-autonomous region of Hong Kong.
"I hate to be in the middle of a crisis second guessing the president, but where is he? Where is the president? Why is he not speaking to the American people? Why is he not more forceful in dealing with foreign leaders?" King said on CNN television.
There are also likely to be increasingly embarrassing questions about how Snowden managed to download and take many highly sensitive documents when he was working in Hawaii for NSA contractor Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH.N). The head of the NSA, General Keith Alexander, said on Sunday that he did not know why the NSA did not catch Snowden before he left Hawaii for Hong Kong in May.
Obama first learned that Snowden had turned up in Hong Kong on Sunday, June 9, as he flew back from a weekend of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
But Obama does not appear to have played a direct role in trying to get him back. Obama declined to say on Monday whether he has spoken directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin or other foreign leaders about the extradition efforts. Obama had an icy meeting with Putin a week ago at the G8 summit in Northern Ireland.
"We're following all the appropriate legal channels and working with various other countries to make sure the rule of law is observed," Obama told reporters at an unrelated event on Monday on immigration reform.
Obama's public schedule leaves little room for the extradition effort. He makes a major speech on climate change on Tuesday, and then leaves on a week-long trip to Africa.
Michael Chertoff, a former Homeland Security Secretary under Republican President George W. Bush, said extradition laws are riddled with loopholes and the United States has a limited ability to get other countries to do what it wants.
"You can do all the paperwork, but it becomes a question of leverage," he said. "Either they didn't have enough, or they didn't exercise enough."
Though the White House has distanced itself from the Snowden affair, other agencies have taken pains to show that they have done all they could to bring Snowden back to face charges.
The Justice Department said it had filed espionage and theft charges against Snowden on June 14, one week before it made the charges public, and asked Hong Kong to arrest Snowden the next day.
Officials from the FBI, the Justice Department and the State Department worked with their counterparts in Hong Kong to extradite Snowden over the next several days, culminating in a telephone call between U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Hong Kong's Secretary for Justice, Rimsky Yuen, on June 19.
"There was a sense that the process was moving forward," a Justice Department official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Hong Kong officials asked for more information and evidence two days later, but did not give the United States enough time to respond before Snowden left the Chinese territory on June 23.
Administration officials dismissed suggestions that they had mishandled the extradition effort. Using a so-called "red notice" to ask Interpol, the international police organization, for help was unnecessary because Snowden should not have been able to leave Hong Kong if his passport had been revoked, a Justice Department official said.
U.S. officials said privacy laws prevent them from describing the status of any individual's passport, but Carney hinted that it had indeed been revoked.
"Hong Kong authorities were advised of the status of Mr. Snowden's travel documents in plenty of time to have prohibited his travel," he said.
George Terwilliger, who served as the Justice Department's No. 2 official under President George H.W. Bush, said it was too early to know whether the agency should be blamed for failing to get Snowden.
"These are not legal issues, per se. They're political and diplomatic issues, and most of the skills that are exercised are exercised away from the public eye." (Additional reporting by Steve Holland and Roberta Rampton; Editing by Karey Van Hall, Martin Howell and Tim Dobbyn)

Blog: Fortune favours the brave
Chris Brook-Carter | 13 October 2010
Pershing Square Capital Management LP has acquired an 11% stake in Fortune Brands, US reports have said.
The hedge-fund firm is led by activist investor William Ackman, who has a reputation for buying stock in companies he deems undervalued and lobbying for changes he thinks will boost shareholder value.
It is certainly a move to keep an eye on, and may spell trouble for the US-owner of the Beam Global Spirits & Wine business.
Ackman led an unsuccessful effort last year to place as many as five board members, including himself, on the US retailer Target's board and also has a history of stirring things up at the restaurant chain Wendy's.
Beam's investor relations team will have their work cut out.

Letter to the Editor
Date: March 28, 2012
by: Observer Staff
+ Rajewski represented homeowners' values
Dear Editor:
Ray Rajewski and the home-owning voters of Longboat Key sent a message to the commissioners. If Ray Rajewski had two more weeks or was running against any other commissioner, Ray would have won. Ray is just a really nice guy, someone we want to represent the homeowners' values of Longboat Key. We found out that the Longboat Key Club wasn't falling down or was going to fail.
The club just received a AAA Four-Diamond Resort Award, such a high rating, and does not need the rezoning to "save" the club and reverse the collapse of Longboat Key. I guess we all were all lied to, and you know who they are, remember that in the next election. This was a fun election. I just wish that the homeowners, instead of the developers, had won.
Just 90 votes, that is why your vote is so important. The next election is coming soon. See you all at the polls.

Metal Madman Answers Dalton Castle [VIDEO]
It looks like my No.1 fan is back with another message. The Metal Madman is slowly becoming obsessed with me... he's even trying to mimic my every move. It's adorable, really.
It looks like my No.1 fan is back with another message. The Metal Madman is slowly becoming obsessed with me... he's even trying to mimic my every move. It's adorable, really.
Stories like this never get old for us.
And you'd think that with the frequency of these stories, it would start to deter people from such crimes, but no!
Isn't it great when people get what they deserve?
This alleged stripper came into a Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin-Robbins location and, after ordering, she was not satisfied with the size of the scoops of ice cream she received.
An altercation started between the stripper and the store manager, according to the guy who shot this video.
This might be the cutest little baby bear cub fight you watch all day.
Hey, look ma, it's a mosh pit! Guess what? There isn't one guitar, singer, or sound of metal greatness to be found. Apparently, moshing to dubstep is a thing?
Every so often, I'll see a video online and think, "How I would hate to be that person." However, when a video of a dude basically fighting a Great White surfaces, I get super jealous.
I don't fully understand the back story to this video but what I gather is the small dude is the Internet troll and he somehow foolishly agreed to fight Deontay Wilder, who is the very boxer he had been trolling on.
Do not mess with this little dog dude's food. I completely understand where this little puppy is coming from when he tries to take on another dog 800 xs his size.
I almost found myself smack dab in the middle of this same situation in Richmond, Virginia. I don't know what the cause of this massive stripper fight was but I can tell you I am super happy I was not involved.
St. Patrick's Day is approaching and I don't think it's any big secret that Albany NY is pretty awful at it. History has shown that Albany often has trouble celebrating, drinking, watching a parade and NOT throwing haymakers.
The Mayor's Cup with Union vs. RPI was pretty sweet.
Hometown rivalries hit the ice and then hit each other… a lot.
I love hockey and I love fighting. Well, I guess I could have just said I love hockey and that would have taken care of both
