Kate Moss brings her white wedding for Agent Provocateur to New York
We all know that Kate Moss can pull a crowd in London, but what about in New York? Apparently so, with the Brit model attracting a hoard of A-listers to the launch of her new Agent Provocateur campaign last night, at Milk studios in New York. It might have been a white wedding that she was promoting, but it was an all-black ensemble that she chose to wear to greet her guests including Philip Lim, Zoe Kravitz and actress Lake Bell. Moss was also joined by AP founder Joe Corre, who scripted the lingerie label's new series of campaign films. Nice feathers Kate!

Once you have connected the USB cable between your DMM and your computer, press the HOLD key on your AM-1038 for two seconds and then release it, the meter will open the infrared interface for sending the measured data and status to the RS-232C interface of computer. Equipped with record and graphic software (options) the meter can display, record and describe the measured electric quantity on computer. As the data transmission between the meter and computer is depending on light coupling, so measurement of high voltage will not affect the safety of computer.

Mortgage Terms
8 Mortgage Mistakes to Avoid
Mortgage Approval Process
Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) can provide attractive interest rates, however payments are not fixed and may increase upon interest rate reset. The adjustable rate mortgage amortization calculator helps you determine what the adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) payments are, and serves as a loan amortization calculator to generate a loan amortization schedule.
This Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) calculator generates a fully amortizing ARM, which is the most common type of Adjustable Rate Mortgage . The monthly Adjustable Rate Mortgage payment is calculated to payoff the entire mortgage balance by the end of the term. The Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) term is typically 30 years. At the end of the fixed interest rate period, the interest rate and payment adjust at the frequency specified in the Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) agreement. A Fully Amortizing Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) will also have a maximum rate, often referred to as a cap, that it will not exceed.
The most common types of Fully Amortizing Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) are:
10/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage
7/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage
5/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage
3/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) amount - Original or expected balance for your Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM).
Starting interest rate - Initial annual interest rate for this Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM).
Term in years on Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) - The number of years over which you will repay this Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM). The most common mortgage terms are 15 years and 30 years.
Interest rate cap - This is the highest interest rate allowed by your Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM). Your actual interest rate will not be adjusted above this rate.
Months before first adjustment - This is the number of months that the interest rate is fixed on your Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM). After this period, the interest rate will be subject to rate adjustments. If you enter zero in this field, we assume that the rate will begin making adjustments after initial period of time between adjustments has passed. If any number other than zero is entered, the first adjustment will take place at that time, and adjustments will happen at the frequency entered in the "months between adjustments" field.
Expected adjustment - The amount you believe that your Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) interest rate will change. This amount will be added to or subtracted from your interest rate.
Months between adjustments - The number of payment periods between potential adjustments to your interest rate. The most common is 12 months, which means your Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) payments could change at most once per year.
Starting monthly payment - Monthly principal and interest payment (PI) on the Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) based on your beginning balance and starting interest rate.
Total payments - Total of all monthly payments over the full term of the Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM). This total payment amount assumes that there are no prepayments of principal.
Total interest - Total of all interest paid over the full term of the Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM). This total interest amount assumes that there are no prepayments of principal on the Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM). Use this mortgage rate calculator to calculate the annual percentage rate APR for adjustable rate mortgage (ARM).

Mercury exposure while pregnant may increase baby's risk of ADHD
What do we know already?
Mercury is a neurotoxin, a substance which damages the nerve cells in the brain. Some studies have suggested that there may be a link between mercury exposure in pregnant women and ADHD. But there haven't been many reliable studies done.
ADHD is a common developmental disorder in children. A child with ADHD finds it very difficult to sit still or concentrate, or to think before acting. All children find this difficult to an extent, but in children with ADHD their symptoms cause severe problems at home and at school.
The most common way of being exposed to mercury comes from eating fish. In some countries, such as the UK and the United States, the government recommends pregnant women limit their fish intake to no more than two servings a week. However, we also know that nutrients found in fish, such as omega-3 fatty acids, boost brain development in babies in the womb.
The researchers behind this new study wanted to see whether the benefits of eating fish offset the risk of ADHD in children whose mothers were exposed to mercury while pregnant. The study followed 788 babies born between 1993 and 1998 in the US. Researchers examined hair samples from mothers in the last month of pregnancy and tested them for mercury, and asked the women how much fish they ate. The researchers then examined the children born during the study at the age of eight years old for symptoms of ADHD such as having difficulty paying attention, acting impulsively, and being hyperactive.
What does the new study say?
At lower levels of mercury exposure, the benefits of the nutrients in the fish eaten by the pregnant women outweighed the potential harm caused by the mercury in the fish. However, at higher levels of exposure, the benefits of eating the fish may be outweighed by the potential harm caused by the mercury.
ADHD symptoms were more common in the children of mothers who were exposed to higher levels of mercury than the US Environmental Protection Agency's recommended cut-off point of 1.2 milligrams of mercury per gram of fish. This is roughly the same as the amount of mercury you would be exposed to if you ate two 6-ounce servings of fish every week.
The children of women who ate more than two servings of fish a week were less likely to have symptoms of ADHD. But the study also suggests that the more mercury you are exposed to the less benefit you may get from eating fish. So the link between mercury exposure, eating fish and behavioural problems is not a simple one.
How reliable is the research?
This was a well-conducted study, although the results contradict findings in studies from other parts of the world. This may have been because the levels of nutrients varied in different types of fish, so the benefits of eating fish were not always the same.
We can't be sure that people gave accurate details about how much fish they ate, but testing their hair for mercury makes this measure more reliable. This type of study can't prove that there's a link between being exposed to mercury while pregnant and having a child with ADHD.

Thursday, February 17th, 2011, 4:00-5:30pm Cohen Hall, room 203, Peabody Campus
Chris Sims
Harold H. Helm '20 Professor of Economics and Banking, Princeton University
"Do Deficits and Monetary Expansion in the US Pose an Inflation Risk?"
Christopher Sims is the Harold H. Heim '20 Professor of Economics and Banking at Princeton University. He joined the Princeton faculty in 1999. Sims has also held faculty positions at Harvard University, the University of Minnesota, and Yale University. He received his Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard in 1968.
Among his many honors, Sims is President-Elect of the American Economic Association, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the Econometric Society. He has previously served as President of the Econometric Society. Sims has helped edited a number of journals, including serving a term as Co-Editor of Econometrica. He has also served in advisory roles to numerous agencies and professional societies, including the National Research Council and the National Science Foundation.
Sims' research has laid the foundation for further developments in many important areas of empirical and theoretical macroeconomics. He is one of the pioneers in the use of vector autoregression and generalized method of moments, both of which are now essential econometric tools for understanding the dynamic structure of the macro economy. In theoretical macroeconomics, Sims has contributed to the development of a new approach to price level determination based on the idea that price stability depends on governments running a balanced budget over the business cycle and to the development of a new framework for the analysis of monetary policy issues based on agents who update their information infrequently.

Where are the best places in Manhattan to eat offal? I am here from out of town and would love to eat something unusual.
there isnt an offal-y lot to eat here aside from the gateway to offal...sweetbreads. im not a huge fan of the restaurant, but degustation makes my favorite sweetbreads...they're fried nearly like tempura...very good stuff.
ive had chicken hearts in a few south american places but theyre totally not my scene...very chewy...as they sound.
id be interested myself where i can chew on some pig's head.
re: sam1
There's tons of places that serve offal in the city! Momofuku is loaded with variety (meats), Grand Sichuan serves terrific tripe, Babbo and Del Posto go hog wild for every part porcine, Despaña has great blood sausage, Bayan Cafe serves blood stew and chopped pig face. Dim sum in Chinatown promises chicken feet. Pakistani restaurants often serve lamb brains. It's not very difficult at all to eat head-to-tail in the city.
re: JungMann
Hi JungMann,
Can you name the Pakistani restaurants that serve lamb brain?
re: kobetobiko
I'm afraid I can't. I used to stop in random spots on Lex in the 20s when I worked over there and found a turmeric-rich lamb brain curry at a steam table one block south from Curry-in-a-Hurry. The place is one flight above street level. Perhaps someone else knows where I'm talking about.
Maghaz masala, though, is easy enough to make at home. When I was younger, it was a frequent visitor on our table, though now that I've just had my cholesterol checked, I'll be eating a lot less of it.
For offal, go to Momofuku Ssam Bar for Asian fusion (and in case you have doubt about fusion, this is exceptional in many ways and you will not be disappointed)
You can go to Yakitori Tottos for Japanese style offals like chicken hearts, gizzards, butts, etc. They have gyu-tan (beef tongue) as well.
At Babbo you can find lamb tongue salad (excellent), some tripes and testa, and lamb brain pasta or goose liver ravioli. Also have sweetbread as entree. The offals are usually disguided (except for the appetizers and sweetbread). They are all incredibly delicious.
Chinese restaurants in Chinatown usually have plenty of dishes with organ meats, like pork liver, goose intestine, pig intestine, tripes and tongue (pork or duck), even fish maw, etc.
I think there should be a lot of ethnic places that serve offal dishes, but I am not too familiar, so may be other chowhounders can help!
re: kobetobiko
This may be the perfect time to venture outside of manhattan to, say, queens. If you are really interested in offal....you may want to consider taking this to the outer borough board..
re: kobetobiko
Momofuku (Noodle Bar, Ssam Bar) - sweetbreads, pig's head, tripe, veal head, etc.
Blue Ribbon (Brasserie, Bakery) - bone marrow
Resto - they grind fatback into the burgers, pig's head into the mayo
Spotted Pig
Gyu Kaku has couple of great offal dishes on menu-you barbeque them-very tasty esp with miso sauce. they call it Hormone-have no idea of the origin of the name since it's obviously not the hormone word we all know. My favorite!!!
The tripe dish at Lupa is one of my favorite, second only to that served at Al Di La in Brooklyn. Three versions of chicken livers that I love in three different ways:
Sauteed chicken liver with tiny poori at Banjara on First St--I really love this a lot, although I am less impressed with other things on the menu there.
Arnavut Cigeri at Turks & Frogs in Tribeca, cubes of calves liver with onions and parsley, delicious.
And the Fegatini Con Aceto Balsamico at Bianca on Bleecker St. is a very favorite dish.
I also recently had sautéed sweetbreads at Minetta Tavern, nicely done.
re: Deb Van D
21 has fantastic liver and onions!
Not sure if it is considered offal but Landmarc in Tribeca has fantastic marrow bones on their menu. I did not like their calves liver too much, though.
Hmm, I'm surprised that Deb Van B was the only person who mentioned Lupa. That was the first restaurant that came to my mind, since it specializes in odds and end body parts that early Roman butchers figured out how to prepare deliciously because no one would buy them.
Blue Ribbon Bakery has some nice preparations, including pickled tongue (or is offal only innards?), *great* sweetbreads, and various liver pates.
And of course, I have to agree with Kobetobiko about Yakitori Toto: I am really partial to chicken offal and no one does that better than Yakitori Toto!

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Supreme Court on Tuesday approved a Feb. 15, 2011, execution date for a Hamilton County man convicted in the 1983 murder of Edith Russell, a 62-year-old St. Elmo woman.
The court rejected efforts by Edward Jerome Harbison to change his first-degree murder sentence from death to life imprisonment, saying it has no authority to do so "at this stage of the proceeding."
Moreover, the court stated, "after also carefully considering Mr. Harbison's request for a certificate of commutation in accordance with [state law], we have determined that none of the reasons advanced by Mr. Harbison demonstrate the sort of extenuating circumstances that would prompt us to issue a certificate of commutation."
The woman he killed was a personal friend of mine. He did work for her & then killed her when she caught him in the middle of robbing her. He should have been gone a while back. He doesn't like letal injection? Would he rather go the way he killed Edith?


text: Pigford Lawyer Al Pires Announces Senate Run Print article Send a Tip by Lee Stranahan 30 May 2012 post a comment If you've been following the story of the Pigford settlement that Andrew Breibart exposed, rejoice: Pigford mastermind Al Pires is now in the race to be elected as a Senator in the great state of Delaware. As Delmarvanow.com reports: Alexander J. Pires Jr., the wealthy long-haired lawyer who owns many of Dewey Beach's most popular nightspots, will try his hand at politics, announcing plans on Wednesday to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Carper as an independent in November's general election. Pires declared his candidacy in an exclusive interview with Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren on Wednesday night. Susteren is a former law partner of Pires' wife and starred as herself in "Mayor Cupcake," a 2010 film written and directed by Pires about a baker turned city leader that's based partially on Pires' New England upbringing. Last year, Andrew Breitbart appeared on John Stossel's special report "Freeloaders" on Fox News with Al Pires. Breitbart wrote: Al Pires is an elusive figure, for reasons I think will be obvious as soon as you watch the video. My Pigford investigative team has known for months that getting Al Pires to talk on the record would be a dream interview and crucial to understanding the scam that's been perpetrated on the taxpayers and the real farmers for years now. John Stossel first exposed Pires in his great Freeloaders special a few weeks ago and when he called me earlier this week and offered me the opportunity to question Al Pires myself, I realized that it represented a very rare opportunity. Watch below for yourself how Al Pires dissembles in his discussion with Breitbart, and then start to imagine how the suddenly not-so-elusive Pires will do in a debate as he runs for Senator. The candidacy announcement has already yielded new facets to the complex persona of Alexander Pires. For example, who knew that he co-wrote and directed the aforementioned flick "Mayor Cupcake," starring Lea Thompson, Judd Nelson, and Greta Van Susteren? Or that Pires owned a bow tie and was the Chairman of the Board of a bank? I bet all the farmers who feel that Pires betrayed them would love to sit down for a showing of "Mayor Cupcake" at Pires's bank some day. Imagine how a Senate run will expose other fun facts about Mr. Pires, including (hopefully) the financial details about how much he's profited at the expense of black farmers. Picture the videos of black farmers talking on the record about why they feel that Al Pires stabbed them in the back and rewrote the rules of the settlement agree to benefit himself at their expense. It's almost enough to make me want to move to Delaware. ON BREITBART TV Stossel: Why Is Government Paying Farmers $2 Billion?

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst says Fitzgerald is frustrated, but 'sold out' for Cardinals
Former NFL receiver and current ESPN NFL analyst Cris Carter is glad he's not Larry Fitzgerald.
Carter caught 1,101 passes over his 16-year career, which was spent with the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins.
He was one of the best receivers in the game, though he has not caught a pass since retiring after the 2002 season.
And yet, Fitzgerald caught just one more pass than Carter did this past Sunday.
"He is not our typical wide receiver but he's very frustrated, though," Carter told ESPN's Mike & Mike Tuesday morning.
Fitzgerald is having one of the worst seasons of his career, and is on pace to catch just 75 passes for 867 yards and five touchdowns. He's been held to five catches over the last three games -- on 26 targets -- and his team is riding an eight-game losing streak.
"There's no greater competitor in the National Football League than Larry Fitzgerald," Carter said. "There is no wide receiver who likes to look good better than Larry Fitzgerald.
"There is no guy who wants to get the ball and loves seeing himself get the ball to affect the overall outcome of the game."
He has been unable to do that this season, largely through no fault of his own. Fitzgerald has caught passes from three different quarterbacks in 2012 as the Cardinals have searched for someone to replace Kurt Warner.
There is no end in sight to the quest, and Carter said Fitzgerald knew this was possible. That said, the analyst noted his friend is not looking to leave the desert.
"He is very, very frustrated, but he is sold out for the Cardinals," Carter said. "That's his team, that's where he's going to make his home, that's where he's going to live his life."

February 12, 2013
The Thunder (27-14-6) couldn't hold onto a third period lead and lost in overtime on a goal scored by Damian Surma to give Rapid City (23-20-5) a 2-1 victory on Tuesday night at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. RG Flath scored his 19th goal of the season in the losing effort, but the night belonged to the goaltenders. Torrie Jung and Tim Boron combined to stop 74 shots on net. Wichita wins the season-series 4-3-1 over Rapid City in the final meeting of the regular season. The Thunder drop to third place behind Fort Worth, who won earlier in overtime over Arizona.
The two teams battled through a scoreless first. Wichita had the better of the scoring chances, but was unable to solve Boron. Chad Painchaud finished with six of the Thunder's 14 shots in the period and had a couple of great opportunities only to be denied. Dustin Donaghy also had a terrific chance when he caught a long outlet pass, stepped away from the defender and fired a wrister from the left face-off dot that Boron was able to get a piece of.
Flath broke the scoreless tie just past the halfway point of the second period. Wichita was awarded a power play as Surma was whistled for hooking. With 20 seconds remaining on the man advantage, Summers took a pass along the goal line and fed Flath at the right circle to make it 1-0. The play was eerily similar to Flath's power play goal on Saturday night against Allen.
Rapid City came out wit a lot of energy and scored early in the third period with a power play goal. Surma gained the line down the left wing and found a cutting Jesse Schultz at the right circle to tie the game at one 37 seconds into the final frame. Wichita unloaded 20 third-period shots on Boron, but was unable to solve the former Thunder goaltender. Wichita continued to buzz around Boron's crease and had several scrums where he was able to lay on the puck. Wichita out-shot Rapid City 20-5 in the final period. After 60 minutes, the two teams would need extra time for the second time this season.
With under two minutes to go in overtime, Wichita couldn't clear the puck from its own zone and Surma capitalized on a fluke bounce that popped over Jung's head, hit a Thunder defender and found its way into the net to give the Rush the 2-1 win.
Despite the loss, Wichita has earned at least a point in its last nine games, going 6-0-3 over that span. Matt Robinson had his scoring streak stopped at seven games. Painchaud collected an assist and moved within eight for 200 for his career. Jung stopped 26 of 28 shots he faced in the losing effort. Boron was just a tad better, stopping 48 of 49 shots to earn his fourth win against Wichita this season. In three of the last five starts against Wichita, Boron has made at least 40 saves. Tonight was the first blemish of the season for the Thunder when playing on a Tuesday, now 4-0-1 on the season.
Wichita went 1-for-5 on the power play while Rapid City was 1-for-3.

Dental floss
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2008)
Dental floss is a cord of thin filaments used to remove food and dental plaque from between teeth. The floss is gently inserted between the teeth and wiped along the teeth sides, especially close to the gums or underneath them. Toothbrushes do not clean between teeth or below the gumline. Used as an addition to toothbrushing as part of regular oral hygiene flossing can reduce gingivitis and halitosis compared to toothbrushing alone. In dentistry, floss is classed as an interdental (between teeth) cleaning aid.
Levi Spear Parmly, a dentist from New Orleans, is credited with inventing the first form of dental floss. In 1815, he recommended that people should clean their teeth with silk floss,[1] but floss was not commercially available until 1882 when the Codman and Shurtleft company started producing unwaxed silk floss. In 1898, the Johnson & Johnson Corporation received the first patent for dental floss. Other early brands included Red Cross, Salter Sill Co. and Brunswick.
One of the earliest depictions of the use of dental floss in literary fiction is found in James Joyce's famous novel Ulysses (serialised 1918–1920), but the adoption of floss was low before World War II. It was around this time, however, that Dr. Charles C. Bass developed nylon floss. Nylon floss was found to be better than silk because of its greater abrasion resistance and elasticity. In response to environmental concerns, dental floss made from biodegradable materials is now available.
In the United States 10–40% of people now floss on a daily basis, (whereas almost everyone brushes)[2] but dental professionals encourage daily use of floss in addition to twice daily toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste.
The common advice is that flossing should be carried out once per day prior to brushing to allow the fluoride from the toothpaste to reach between the teeth.[3] The floss is commonly supplied in plastic dispensers that contain 10 to 100 meters of floss. After pulling out the desired amount, the floss is pulled against a small protected blade in the dispenser to sever it then held between the fingers or strung on a fork-like instrument. The floss is guided between each tooth and under the gumline to remove particles of food stuck between teeth and dental plaque that adhere to such dental surfaces. The floss should be gently curved against the side of the tooth in a 'C' shape, and then wiped under the gumline (very gently) to the tip two or three times, repeated on adjacent and subsequent teeth.
There are many different kinds of dental floss commonly available. The most important variable is thickness, but some people with little space between their teeth prefer waxed dental floss as it glides more easily. Some waxed types of dental floss also contain antibacterial agents and/or sodium fluoride. The ability of different types of dental floss to remove dental plaque from between the teeth does not vary significantly,[4]:37 i.e. the very cheapest type of floss has a similar impact on oral hygiene as the most expensive.
Specialized plastic wands, or floss picks, have been produced to hold the floss. These may be attached to or separate from a floss dispenser. While wands do not pinch fingers like regular floss can, using a wand may be awkward and can also make it difficult to floss at all the angles possible with regular floss. These types of flossers also run the risk of missing the area under the gum line that needs to be flossed. On the other hand, the enhanced reach of a wand can make flossing the back teeth easier.
Individuals who have not flossed before may be put off from flossing when they notice bleeding gums after flossing. This bleeding is often a sign that there is gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), meaning that flossing needs to be carried out regularly, not avoided - but poor flossing technique, using a forceful sawing motion, can damage the tissues and also cause bleeding.
Flossing immediately after the placement of amalgam fillings can result in an amalgam tattoo.[5]
Flossing in combination with toothbrushing can help prevent gum disease[6] and halitosis.[7] A 2012 review of trials concluded that flossing in addition to toothbrushing reduces gingivitis compared to toothbrushing alone. In this review, researchers found "some evidence from twelve studies that flossing in addition to toothbrushing reduces gingivitis compared to toothbrushing alone" but only discovered "weak, very unreliable evidence from 10 studies that flossing plus toothbrushing may be associated with a small reduction in plaque at 1 and 3 months."[8][9]
Floss threader[edit]
A floss threader is loop of fiber (similar to fishing line) used to thread floss into small places around teeth. Threaders are sometimes required to floss with dental braces, fix retainers, and bridge.
Floss pick[edit]
A floss pick is a disposable oral hygiene device generally made of plastic and dental floss. The instrument is composed of two prongs extending from a thin plastic body of high-impact polystyrene material. A single piece of floss runs between the two prongs. The body of the floss pick generally tapers at its end in the shape of a toothpick.
There are two types of angled floss picks in the oral care industry, the 'Y'-shaped angle and the 'F'-shaped angle floss pick. At the base of the arch where the 'y' begins to branch there is a handle for gripping and maneuvering before it tapers off into a pick.
Floss picks are manufactured in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes for adults and children. The floss can be coated in fluoride, flavor or wax.[10]
History of floss pick[edit]
In 1888, B.T. Mason wrapped a fibrous material around a toothpick and dubbed it the 'combination tooth pick.'[11] In 1916, J.P. De L'eau invented a dental floss holder between two vertical poles.[12] In 1935, F.H. Doner invented what today's consumer knows as the 'y'-shaped angled dental appliance.[13] In 1963, James B. Kirby invented a tooth-cleaning device that resembles an archaic version of today's F-shaped floss pick.[14]
In 1972, an inventor named Richard L. Wells found a way to attach floss to a single pick end.[15] In the same year, another inventor named Harry Selig Katz came up with a method of making a disposable dental floss tooth pick.[16] In the end of 1980s floss picks became mass marketed in various versions.

25% of Groupon share value WIPED OUT after rates slashed
Just been on there to look at todays best deals...
...same old stuff really: 50% off a fish foot-spa treatment, 70% off a 'celebrity experience' evening at a top London night club with Alan Tichmarsh, 65% off gastric bypasses... but what really caught my eye was this: 25% off Groupon shares!
Seems like a good deal to me!
Daily Wail Memejackers pwned
Sod that - imagine spending months of your life in and out of court with a load of DM people and their lawyers.
Maybe just a caption that says "The Daily Mail thinks Romanians are great and we highly recommend that all our readers enter into gay marriages with as many Eastern Europeans as possible in order to strengthen the EU economy!"
Hehe classic! Shame I missed this it sounds funny!
If it had of been my site they'd nicked a pic off, I'd have made an image with text in the same font and size saying something really libellous (but only in the context of it appearing on their page) or admitting that DM hacks like to do naughty things or something!

Third joke about this story from me - I'm on a roll baby! or just bored / a sad git
New twitter rip off for dead people - Harper its called (harp as in what angels play) - their version of tweets are called 'harps' and its customary to describe someone who harps a lot as "harping on a lot" or to say "what's he harping on about now?". Of course its all 'cloud' based to boot!
They are also planning on doing an IM network for the departed too, based on ICQ, called ICdeadppl
I imagine it will only be popular with people who died before 2002 though!
I thought myspace was already a dead social network do we really need another?

and last but not least a really poor quality industrially made tipple called Windows 3.1 for Piss Artists!

Dead Steve Jobs 'made Tim Cook sue Samsung' from beyond the grave
Re: Is there anybody there?
This is almost exactly what happened - it actually spelt out "Susan Sung Well On Britains Got Talent" but they were so preoccupied with the idea of suing them they chose to read into it what they wanted to hear!
Playmobil punts bank-heist set to wide-eyed kiddies
This was actually meant to be a licensed product - it's based on the little known ITV drama series "Daylight Robbery" from fifteen years ago staring Michelle Collins! Its really big in Germany that show and the blonde bird with the shooter is meant to be Ms Collins herself in her role as a young mother turning to bank jobs to pay her gas bill! It's a good likeness I'm sure you will agree, they really know how to injection mould soap stars those Playmobil guys!
They were also planning on doing a similar Thelma and Louise playset complete with convertible car and convenience store but alas they lost the licences for both so instead we ended up with this generic "City Action" set. Such a shame!

Personally I was hoping for it to die spectacularly, maybe some sort of armed siege or a big ass fine from information commissioner or a funny hacking fiasco - to hear that its gone titsup just because that Mench woman is full of cyber shit is very disappointing but then again, hardly surprising!
I do worry about the users though - I'm sure this thing was keeping them off the streets and out of trouble!

South Koreans pawn shiny tech for stress-free loans
I wonder if there is a Korean tech news site out there reporting on the UK's rising market for pawn shops too?
Apparently there is a demand here in Surrey for a sort of "Waitrose cum Cash Converters" type pawnbrokers that dish out dosh in return for fine wine collections and sports cars! It was on Newsnight a few months ago so it must be true, its not like that programme makes shit up or anything!
What happened to the link to the Hardware site?
Indeed, they need to add a line of text saying "Comments disabled, bitch" or something. Saying that though, why would comments be disabled on a story about the R pi?
Apple serves up 25 BEEELLIONTH iTunes download

Dubstep is often mistaken for heavy flatulence with all that "wobble bass"
And don't forget the long awaited (to iTunes at least after all the reluctance to digital downloads by the rights owners) "Sgt Pepperoni's Lonely Farts Band"!!!
Was it really "Monkey Drums"???
Not that I am accusing the marketing people of this song of doing a sly deal with Apple or anything but can you imagine if the 25 BEEEELIONTH download was something like "A Lovers Audio Guide to Anal Beads and How to Use Them" - do you really think Apple would be all gun ho about announcing that as their milestone download?
No neither do I !!!!!
PS - it's a good informative guide that! I can highly recommend it!*
*Not really I made it up for the purposes of "humour"

Windows 8 tiles are everwhere these days!
I even saw them in someone's kitchen!! They'd gone for that oh so funky late 90s multicoloured silly pattern type vibe that Windows 8 does too - only the tiles were slightly rounded in the corners unlike Win8 with its "trying to make lazy design cool by making everything flatter than a roadkill hedgehog" motif!
I must admit though, I just wanted to touch the heck out of that kitchen wall, MS are really on to something here, I just had a desperate urge to stroke those tiles senseless! So Win8 gets the finger up from me you could say! I think it will revolutionise the way we think about inputting stuff into computers and domestic kitchen design for weeks to come!
