All the news from the annual Google I/O event, including the latest on Android.
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
While it will begin to cede its position to the PS4 in 2015, the PlayStation 3 still delivers impressively strong value for gaming and video entertainment.
Poki is an excellent Windows Phone client for the Pocket bookmarking service, and a few missing features don't spoil the slick, simple experience.
Pricing not available
Wunderlist for Windows Phone is fast, free, task-management app that works anywhere you do, and couples cross-platform support with simple collaboration tools.
Pricing not available
Despite its sluggishness, the Bookviser Reader for Windows Phone is a great way to get free classic literature on your Windows Phone.

BioShock Infinite is another masterful achievement in interactive storytelling and provides gamers with an overall experience unlike anything else.
A sinister villain, some tough choices, and a new kind of multiplayer arena invigorate the reliably intense action in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

In some access logs, a lot of 408 status response codes are found, and AWStats handles them as 'corrupted log lines'. A typical logged 408 response looks like this:
host:80 22.214.171.124 - - [13/Oct/2013:06:29:03 +0200] "-" 408 0 "-" "-"
Note that where you would normally see "GET / HTTP/1.0" or similar, this requests is logged as "-" as no GET, POST or else was received from the client.
I think AWStats does recognise 408's where the client did get to send an actual request, but a timeout occured after that.
This has been reported several times before but those where closed because of old age (https://sourceforge.net/p/awstats/bugs/search/?q=408). A recent bugreport was submitted here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awstats/+bug/908901

I realize it has been a few years since this post went up, but if possible I would be interested in finding out more about your research on the Haessly and Spohn families. I am related through Philip and Anna Maria (Spohn) Haessly's son Jacob Haessly, who was my ggggrandfather on my maternal grandmother's side. I have information on the Spohns back through Conrad Spohn, his father John Johan Gregor Spohn, and his father Hans Georg Spohn (1701-1779), with the family coming out of Baden, Germany and ending up in Maryland (Hans Georg) and Berks County, Pennsylvania. Haven't got any farther back than Philip Haessly in that line, but admittedly haven't been working on that line much lately. Would be happy to share any info I have in return. Thanks much.

A little about me...
I am down to earth, fun to be around, have a great sense of humor. I have a very magnetic energy about me and very rarely know a stranger. I am passionate about music, love live music and enjoy dancing. Music makes my heart smile. I am a creative person and a great communicator. I have a wonderful career, great family and friends. Traveling to warm sunny beaches makes me happy especially when there is snow on the ground :). Honesty and integrity are the two most important qualities a person can possess. Now, that is only my opinion.
About the one I'm looking for...
would love to meet a guy who can communicate, is down to earth and also enjoys having fun. Honesty is a must!!! Hopefully you will enjoy music as much as I do. Traveling is fun to do as a couple and long weekends are nice. Really would like to meet someone who can have good conversation, is a nice person, and has a sense of humor.
I'd just like to add...
Send me a message.

Havoc - Tell Me To My Face
Artist: Havoc
Featuring: Royce Da 5'9"
Producer: Havoc, co-prod. FMG
Album: 13
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 7 votes )
Got something bad to say about Havoc? On his latest solo single, the Queensbridge mainstay makes a suggestion to perpetrating haters and self-proclaimed killers who would presume to cast judgment on his hustle: "Grow some balls and Tell Me to My Face." Backed by his and co-producer FMG's thundering street boardwork, the Mobb Deep member delivers bars designed to intimidate his enemies into silence, and Slaughterhouse spitter Royce Da 5'9" turns in a similarly formidable performance on the guest tip. Havoc's 13 LP is scheduled to drop in the near future via Nature Sounds. In the meantime, keep your browsers locked for more fresh song releases off the forthcoming set.

The Hill
Steven VanRoekel, the federal CIO, was set to testify before a Senate committee probing overlap and duplication in federal IT spending and programs on June 5, but the hearing was postponed so senators could attend the funeral of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) who died June 3 at the age of 91.
Simon Szykman, CIO of the Commerce department, Frank Baitman, CIO of the Department of Health and Human Services, and David Powner, a technology specialist at the Government Accountability Office were set to join VanRoekel at the hearing. The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee rescheduled the hearing to June 11 at 10:30 a.m.

Students honored during eventPublished 1:26am Saturday, May 5, 2012
Nearly 60 students and their families, area teachers and principals filled the Carl C. Morgan Convention Center Thursday to celebrate and honor student achievement during Selma Mayor George Evans' Inspirational Achievers Awards banquet.
Students hailing from third through 12th grades and representing 16 schools, both public and private, were recognized for their academics, community service and character with a certificate, medallion and bookbag of goodies. Overall winners were also awarded a Kindle Fire.
Evans, who spent more than 30 years in education, spoke on the importance of being a well-rounded citizen.
"You can be anything you want to be but preparation is key," Evans said. "I've heard it's better to be prepared with an opportunity rather than have an opportunity and not be prepared … thanks to teachers, principals, headmasters for putting this all together, who worked hard all year … if God be willing, we'll have more of these that will get bigger and better as time goes on."
Serving as the event's guest speaker, Birmingham attorney and Alabama State graduate Shera C. Grant, encouraged those in attendance to live out their dreams.
"If you want to have control of your destiny, you have to take initiative … surround yourself with people that are just as ambitious as you are … you are who you are around," Grant said addressing the crowd. "Dream big. Dream beyond the life you live … act upon the very thing you dare to do."
Grant also spoke on the importance of having a mentor and establishing standards.
"Excelling is difficult at times (but) you're never too young to think about a game plan," Grant said. "It is your duty to educate yourself … it's very important that when you're in school you take education seriously; don't be afraid to ask people for help, ask people to be a mentor. Look for your mentor …"
Administrators and principals throughout the city selected one boy and one girl from each grade level to represent their school. Nominees were placed in four categories — third through fifth grades, sixth through eighth grades, grades nine through 11 and 12th grade. One student from each category was then selected as the overall winner.
The 2012 Inspirational Achievers final four included: fifth grader Brittany Johnson, Payne Elementary School; seventh grader Joshua Criswell, Morgan Academy; tenth grade student Andrea Bowman, Selma High School; and Morgan Academy graduating senior Ashley Moore, who also received a $1,500 scholarship from the city.
More than 17 sponsors and five area businesses helped with and donated to the event.

Carlsbad Eye Care's board-certified ophthalmologist Michael Tracy cares for eyes with the latest technology and a wealth of advanced training. After attending medical school at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, Dr. Tracy went on to perform his residency in ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. He then completed a fellowship in corneal and refractive surgery at the prestigious Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami, which has been ranked as the top eye hospital in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.
Dr. Tracy has performed thousands of eye procedures, including LASIK, custom surface ablation (PRK), and cataract surgery. He employs state-of-the-art equipment during LASIK surgeries, eschewing a handheld blade or Keebler elf's samurai sword in favor of the advanced IntraLase femtosecond laser.
Dr. Barry R. Mozlin's team of optometrists and opticians tests sight with computer-assisted eye exams before outfitting adults and kids with a chic selection of optical frames. The practice also stocks prescription and nonprescription sunglass frames, contact lenses available for same-day delivery, and lenses with Transitions photochromic technology, which darken in sunlight or during staring contests with light bulbs. Along with eyewear needs, Dr. Mozlin performs preoperative and postoperative work for laser-surgery patients.
When Dr. Barry Katzman opened West Coast Eye Care & Med Spa, he envisioned the space as a small practice that would help locals better enjoy the city's famous sunsets and beaches. With his expertise—he's participated in hundreds of studies for advanced treatments—the business quickly took on enough customers to sustain seven offices, a staff of a dozen doctors, and its own language, which outsiders describe as Latin spoken in pig Latin. After outfitting eyes with prescriptions and preventive care, staffers can help them navigate an optical boutique stocked with more than 10,000 designer frames by Dior, Bvlgari, and Tom Ford. Regular performances of more advanced surgeries, such as LASIK, cataract laser procedures, and eyelid lifts, made the staff intrigued about similar aesthetic procedures. As a result, they opened a med spa, where they tighten and brighten skin with injections, rejuvenating laser treatments, and even plastic surgery.
Dr. Neville Cohen knows eyes. For more than three decades, the optometrist and his courteous staff have played matchmaker to countless clients, pairing them with their ideal set of vision-correcting frames and lenses. From Fendi to Ray-Ban, the shelves at his two-eye oasis are packed with fashionable designer glasses and sunglasses. Dr. Cohen also employs LASIK surgery and corneal refractive therapy, which uses custom-fitted contact lenses to gently reshape corneas, to help eyes achieve the 20/20 vision needed to stare down bald eagles.
La Jolla Optique's friendly and informed team of eye specialists will start by deducing the current condition of your ocular apparatus with a comprehensive eye exam. Using the latest technology and his years of experience, Dr. Damian Ploof will determine how to sharpen your vision without sharpening it to the point where you can glimpse the chittering eldritch entities that exist just beyond the veil of our reality.
It's no surprise that Today's Vision recently celebrated 30 years in business?with dozens of locations, the company is able to offer the competitive pricing and efficient service offered by national chains. Yet, because each shop is owned by a state-certified optometrist, the business is also able to give patients the personalized treatment they'd receive at a smaller, private practice. Services vary at each location, though most provide general optometry for adults and children, as well as specialized treatment for those suffering from ailments such as glaucoma and dry-eye syndrome. And while eye health is the primary concern of the professionals at Today's Vision,?the teams also help customers look their best by offering a selection of fashionable designer frames.

Bird Key phase of MURT plan nears end of trail
Date: July 14, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Plans for the Bird Key portion of the West Bayfront Multi-Use Recreation Trail (MURT) have been in the works for four-and-a-half years. But for Bird Key, the city of Sarasota is approaching the end of the trail.
According to Neil Gaines, city manager of capital projects, phase I of the Bird Key portion of the West MURT, which includes everything east of the traffic light at Bird Key Drive, is nearly complete, and landscaping will begin this week. City officials hope to have phase I completed by July 23 and move on to phase II by the end of August. The project will connect the existing Bayfront MURT to St. Armands and Lido keys.
Initial plans for the project called for the elimination of some parking spaces, along with many plantings along the shoreline. After public protest last fall from park users who worried that the plan would block the view of the shoreline and hinder water-sports access, the Sarasota City Commission approved a motion in November ordering city staff to go forward with plans for the park in two phases.
"We restored the amount of parking, green space and eliminated a lot of landscaping that people originally didn't want," Gaines said. "We just made the park more user-friendly for water-sports activity."
Laurel Keiser, a Sarasota resident who circulated a petition last fall opposing the project, said that she is pleased with the overall outcome but disappointed with smaller details, such as the removal of an exit at the west end of the park.
"The most important thing is, they haven't diminished its usability," she said. "There are little things that are going to need to be addressed as we go."
The city hoped to have phase I, which began in April, completed by the Fourth of July but hit a snag when workers discovered buried debris in the eastern portion of the park that needed to be excavated, Gaines said. Phase II will have a shorter construction period, because city officials don't anticipate debris in the western portion of the park.
According to Gaines, the park will be closed to the public for two consecutive days, which have not yet been determined, in order for pavement work to be completed.
Next on the MURT agenda is Lido Key. If the project, which encompasses the west side of Benjamin Franklin Drive, receives funding, construction could begin by December.

Anna Ong
Stay tangled in the closet
Soulful sorrows abound
white tulips fade away
still shadows creep anon
leadeth the naive astray
Whisk the dark thoughts under the carpet
pray the skeletons stay tangled in the closet
slam the door on dusty dreams
hurl the keys into the wilful tide
Catch a glimpse of the dying star
still shining bright as a fiery lantern
deceiving the world of its demise
warming us in its cloaked deception

Bakeries that bake birthday cake from scratch
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am wondering if there are any bakeries that make birthday cake from scratch.
It's too bad all the major supermarkets all source their baked goods now, I know at T&T, loblaws, metro, costco, everyone has their baked goods made off site and they are just baked from frozen in the store and decorated.
I know chinese bakeries make their birthday cake from scratch. However, are there any other major supermarkets that bake from scratch?
It's so sad, I remember Loblaws and even Dominion used to bake angel food cake instore. It's too bad everyone is cost cutting :(
One of the ladies at T&T tells me that nothing is made in house, everything is pre-made. Even the buns are pre-made I think and then baked on site.
I'm looking for an old school type of cake that you would serve for a birthday so nothing fancy like Nadege or the like.
As for as I know none in Toronto do, but I don't blame that on the grocery stores and their cost-cutting. I blame that on consumers who want lower prices and would flock elsewhere if the birthday cake was cheaper, rather than pay more for something that was baked in house. The demand just isn't there for birthday cakes baked in house at a higher price.
Flaky Tart is an independent old school bakeshop and everything they make onsite is delicious. I'm sure Madelaine could bake something you would be happy with.
Cakes by Robert makes wonderful old school birthday cake.
The last one I had a few months ago was not up to its usual brilliance, but my family LOVED it and it was still far better than the chains.
Aside from that last cake, I've had incredible old fashioned birthday cakes from them for many years.
(Nut-free, too)
Celena's Bakery at Danforth and Woodbine. Here is a quote from their website:
Our cake batter, our Buttercream and Icings, Fillings, Toppings and Decorations.
All our CAKES are crafted by hand, in-shop, per order specifications.
To us, this means controlling quality and artistic integrity through every stage.
To you, it means a better cake.
Dense, moist, rich cake, layered and topped with home-made buttercream,
fondant, or whatever you like.
Thanks to everyone for your replies, will check them out.
This may sound stupid but, when going to any of the recommended bakeries, should hte cake be light and fluffy?
Maybe because I have been eating too many 'fresh cakes' which are dry and dense = frozen, but I can't tell...
I try to bake but the results are just dense cakes, no matter how many egg whites I whip in, a kitchen aid stand mixer didn't change things albeit boxed mixes taste good. Wish I could bake from scratch. sigh.
re: flonie
Most commercial bakeries have a practice of mass producing cakes and than freezing them for later use. But cakes baked from scratch are naturally denser than store bought packages.
I rmb watching a ep of America's Test Kitchen where they did a comparison of store bought cake and ones they made from scratch. The store bought variety was lighter and more airy than their home made version, which is attributed to the leveners, tenderizers, etc that was included in the mix of store bought packages.
re: asagiri
Really? I'm surprised, I would have guessed that one from scratch would have been lighter.
On that note, how do bakeries (Mcdonald's, Tim Hortons) and the like, have these pointed muffins (like a smurf's house) but the muffins and cupcakes I make at home are like scoops of ice cream, very flat.
re: flonie
A point on a cake (or muffin) is actually a sign of over mixing. Also they put in way more sugar and salt to cover up the taste of extra leavening agents.
re: flonie
This will likely get moved to the Home Cooking board, but if you'd like a rounded top (not pointed but not flat either) increase your baking temp by 25 degrees F. The top sets a little before the inside is done rising and that pushes it into a dome.
Wagamama Pastries on King W. makes a beautifully light and tasty cake. They make from scratch, but I would not be that surprised if they have a few cakes frozen for later decorating, etc. I think as long as good ingredients are used, the recipe works with some short term freezing (e.g. not more than 1 day) and defrosting is done properly then it shouldn't taste that different to something freshly made and frosted that day.
May I ask where you ended up getting your cake? I'm celebrating a big birthday at the end of August and I want to find something really delicious to serve 30-40 people. I visited Empire Bakery at Yonge and Steeles and thought the cakes (Napoleon and Sour Cream) were okay, but didn't blow me away. Tried a lovely Black Forest at Sweet Note at Hwy 7 and Leslie, but don't think the price would be in our range.
DH thinks no one will care or know the difference between an okay cake and an amazing cake. I love to bake, so it matters to me that it knock my socks off.
re: chuang
If you enjoyed the Black Forest cake from Sweet Note, why not just go for them? Sure it's a little expensive, but it's like the old saying "you get what you paid for".
But if costs really is an issue, I would either serve smaller portions of a really good cake or go to Costco and purchase some of their premade cakes (i.e. Tiramisu).
re: chuang
I think we ended up getting a cake at Nadedge on Queen St.
To be honest, if you like a light sponge cake any Chinese Bakery makes the cakes from scratch. Hong Kong Island on Spadina by Dundas in chinatown is such a place. If you plan on driving though, there's construction in the area.
This place makes cakes by weight, well...not really but it's 1 lb, 2 lbs and up. Worth checking out if you just want a light, airy cake with a whipped cream and fruit...

With nearly two weeks to go until Labor Day weekend, Michigan state law enforcement are ramping up patrols in an effort to nab those drunkards on an end of the summer bender.
I am well aware that people 'get off' sexually on a variety of things. To each his or her own UNLESS someone is being hurt or someone is an unwilling participant, as in this case. A Mt. Pleasant Chemical Bank manager was busted for putting a video camera in an employees only bathroom. Ugh.
A Michigan judge must now decide the fate of a man that plead guilty earlier last week to the 2013 killing of a prostitute, in which he reportedly spit on her corpse before leaving her in tall weeds in Grand Rapids.
A UFO spotted 20 years ago in southwest Michigan remains a mystery to this day. On March 8, 1994, several Ottawa County residents reported seeing a bizarre object with red, white, blue and green lights dangling over Lake Michigan that would occasionally display erratic and unusual movements.
Authorities need your help identifying a person of interest.
The town of Delton, Michigan is disgusted with the local police department over recently allegations claiming officers beat the hell out of Tujax Tavern owner Jack Nadwornik earlier this summer after they caught him urinating behind his bar.

With big technology launches and announcements now on par with blockbuster movie premiers and red carpet galas, tech fans were treated to their fair share of pageantry and promenading from the likes of Apple, Microsoft, Google, and many others this year. The experts at PCWorld and TechHive took a look back at 2012 to rank the 100 Best Products that made the biggest impact, and have released their list just in time for the holidays.
Windows 8 is No. 1
At the top of the list of 100 Best Tech Products sits Microsoft's biggest operating system update and rollout since Windows 95: Windows 8. In some ways, the jury is still out on whether Windows 8 was/is a big success, but the experts at PCWorld and TechHive credit its substantial performance improvements and bold step into the mobile/touch-screen universe with winning the top rank for 2012.
The top 10 includes many of the most popular and successful products from the year: Apple's iPad (3rd generation, for its groundbreaking, high-res Retina display), Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite, Samsung's Galaxy S III smartphone, and even TV maker Vizio's first foray into the laptop market with a sleek ultrabook. Check out the full list here: http://go.pcworld.com/100best
Tech in the Home
The era of the smart home is dawning, as indicated by the large number of home automation and home entertainment products turning tech experts' heads in 2012. Vivint ranked in the top 100 for bringing sophisticated home security and automation systems (alarm, electronic door lock, door/window sensors, lighting controls, an IP camera, and a programmable thermostat) to the mainstream market. Automation solutions from ADT and Lowes also made the list. Other top products for the home include a handful of wireless and network-capable sound systems and speakers, two HDTVs, several acclaimed video games, and a number of headphone offerings. Take a closer look at what PCWorld and TechHive had to say about the products from the list in the categories of home technology and entertainment.
5 Flops & 5 for the Future
For the PCWorld magazine version of the 100 Best list, editors also took the opportunity to review some of the products of the past year that didn't quite make the impact they could have, and some others to look forward to in the coming year.
The five on the list of flops and failures: Google Nexus Q—Google's overpriced media streaming device; Ping—Apple's ignored music-oriented social network; Sony PS Vita—the underachieving handheld gaming system; 3D TV sets—in only 3% of U.S. households; and Windows Home Server 2011.
For 2013, the PCWorld team recommends keeping your eye on five highly anticipated products: Open-source gaming console Ouya; Google Glass—the wearable display product demoed this year; A hand gesture device for controlling your computer called Leap Motion; Microsoft's Pro version of the Surface tablet; and the epic third sequel to one of the best video games of all time—Half Life 3.
Overall, the editors at PCWorld and TechHive have come up with a thorough list of the year's most exciting and impactful tech, just in time for everyone to hit the electronics stores and websites for the holidays.
