Greta. Sounds nicer.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:04 PM
Soft, romantic, Shakespearean... and also not Greta, which is never really my style.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:07 PM
I like Miranda better as I find Greta to bit too hard iykwim.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:10 PM
I've never liked Greta, it sounds quite harsh to me. Gretel I like though.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:15 PM
Greta. Love it!

Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:17 PM
I love Miranda - sounds pretty. Greta sounds harsh and gutteral.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:19 PM
I think I prefer Miranda, but Greta could grow on me. I do like Gretel too.
Greta Elise
Greta Rose
Greta Madeleine
Greta Helena
Greta Amelia
Greta Paige
Greta Miranda (this works better than Miranda Greta IMO)
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:20 PM
Greta or Gretel
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:21 PM
I like them both. They have different personalities to me... They are the kind of names you could keep until you meet your baby and then pick whichever one seems to suit. Greta is a strong name, which is fabulous for a girl!
Middle names for Greta:
Greta Catherine
Greta Carmen
Greta Carys
Greta Florence
Greta Frances
Greta Hazel
Greta Jane
Greta Liesl
Greta Lilian
Greta Mae
Greta Margo
Greta Marlo
Greta Marion

Miranda. Very pretty name.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:25 PM
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:29 PM
I prefer Miranda.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:30 PM
Greta - I like it because it sounds less usual.
I like Miranda - I just think Sex in the City when I hear it - not sure why - I've never seen it and have no idea if someone called Miranda is on it.
I have a lovely friend called Miranda though and she is nicknamed Ran or Rans mostly.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:30 PM
I love Greta
Posted 10 November 2012 - 09:32 PM
Greta doesn't really appeal to me, but I really like Gretel. Probably more than Miranda, actually.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 11:57 PM
Miranda, Greta is nice too though
what about Miranda Gretel
Posted 11 November 2012 - 12:08 AM
Greta. It's absolutely lovely. It would be so adorable and wear well on an adult and older woman as well.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 12:14 AM
Greta It's a beautiful name that will wear well at any age.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 12:18 AM
Prefer Miranda.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 01:04 AM
What can I say? Greta because I've always loved it and never tire of it.
Miranda is OK but would not rank in my favourite tri-syllabics. Not flourishy enough. And maybe because of the twangy mid vowel in English?
Greta middles (so much seems to go):
Greta Mireia
Greta Millicent
Greta Caroline
Posted 11 November 2012 - 02:08 AM
Greta. Miranda is dated to me.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 07:03 AM
They're both lovely OP.
I marginally prefer Greta. DS1 has a Greta in his Kindy class and she's lovely.
(I unfortunately tend to associate Miranda with the Sydney suburb but it's a gorgeous name).

- Rare bit of culture and focus in Boston Food SceneRunLolitaRunDined on 11/18/2014Really enjoyed dinner and drinks at this tightly themed, tequila, Mexican, Dia de Los Muertos themed spot. In spite of being a basement location, they used it for their advantage to build a dark, smoky, intimate, spontaneous ambience. In spite of the clear attention paid to decor and overall energy of the restaurant, the food actually lived up to the expectations (I have often found this to be the tension in most Boston based restaurants: good ambience, weak food execution. Good food, weak ambience/service). A fun amous bouche of grapefruit and tequila granita was a particularly unique way to start the meal (everyone wants dessert first!). A hefty basket of chips and salsa came quickly. This was actually the only problem: too much. The basket is the size of a soccer ball filled to the brim and it's hard not to indulge. Three great salsa varieties did not help. By the time we got to our main dishes (carnitas and a baked chicken leg, both oversized proportions and fine tasting), we were already stuffed. That being said, everything looked and tasted good. Get yourself a reservation and a group to share it with for a good night out Downtown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- awesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/7/2014One of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time. This is coming from two people with thirty combined years in the restaurant industry. The only thing that could have made it better would be to offer a valet service. Keep up the great work and your unique style.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love everything!AllisonMDined on 11/4/2014Love the whole experience! I keep coming back! Especially enjoy the cotton candy and tattoos. Enjoyable experience for a couple or a group.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lolita's!!!YummyDined on 11/4/2014Lots of fun. The smoking grapefruit pallet cleanser is awesome (complimentary shot of tequila with it). Hostesses could be a little nicer but all in all great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing... Just one butOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014Inlove this place. Everything is perfect, except for the guy in the entrance. He thinks he owns the place and is rude! At the end of the night we were waiting for our taxi to arrive and he kick us out to the cold with very bad manners. He was even ironic saying that he knew it was cold because he was there all night long. Apart from him the place is amazingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Focus on decor...BustedinBostonDined on 10/28/2014The food is quite good although the focus seems to be more about the decor, loud music, and drinks. It's kind of a cool hang for young singles. Otherwise pass.Special Features:

- Taco Mondays are the BestNickyDined on 10/20/2014My friend and I have been going to Lolita's every Monday night for their infamous $7 tacos, and can I just say that their service and food never disappoints. Our waitress this time was Julia, and not only did she consistently make sure that we didn't run out of any food, but she was also fun to talk to and made us feel welcome. The drinks were strong and delicious as usual, and the atmosphere was fun yet relaxed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome placenewyokohamaVIPDined on 10/18/2014Lolita is a really solid place to visit. Besides the free grapefruit tequila ice, mountain of chips, and 3 kinds of sauces, and complimentary cotton candy at the end of the meal, it's amazing anyone has room for food here. Great drinks, awesome appetizers (get the corn), and even the sides are great (get the brussel sprouts). Most entrees are a really solid choice. Try the ribeye tacos with horseradish and onion strings, wow.Special Features:
- AWESOME 22ND BIRTHDAY HERE!!birthdaydinnerdinerDined on 10/11/2014This place was recommended to me by a friend and I must say that it was amazing, exactly what we needed!! I had a group of about 9 people and we all loved it here and are already trying to plan a night to go back! Great décor, great people (so different from the usual bar scene (less of the just turned 21 lets rage kind of people)), trendy atmosphere. Loved that they had complimentary chips with salsa at the start of our meal and complimentary cotton candy with our check! If you are looking to dine in here though make sure you make a reservation! The only downside is the service is slower but if you have a great group like I did you barely notice the lag!Special Features:
- Delicious food, spot-on serviceGoodNomsDined on 10/8/2014Delicious food (lobster enchilada is decadent, salsas trio delivers), spot-on service, sophisticated ambiance, and great overall experience (grapefruit treat over dry ice, and cotton candy with the ticket)Special Features:
- AwesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014They have some of the best service I've ever received in a restaurant. They were so accommodating for my friends birthday and we all had an amazing time. Especially the girl at the door (I want to say her name was Sierra) she was amazing and very helpful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this placepumbitaVIPDined on 9/27/2014I absolutely love lolita! Drinks are amazing and the whole scene is perfect For saturday night. We ordered the 4 leches dessert and it was to day for... And the size OF a full cake! AmazingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SpotJS14Dined on 9/25/2014Went with my roommate after work for a light dinner and drinks. It was the perfect spot. Great food great drinks moderate to high prices but well worth the money spent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dinnerGranitestaterDined on 9/24/2014I'd never been there before, but was very impressed. We made a reservation for 12. Our server knew his stuff, and could speak at length about every item on the menu, even speaking to the textures and tastes from eating each dish. We asked his advice and he had a bunch of great selections, several of which we tried. The menu was diverse, and definitely "chef-y", with lots of neat combinations of flavors. The drink menu was equally interesting, with many drinks I'd never seen before, and combinations that were great. We tried a bunch of different things, and they were all great. The little touches like the grapefruit sorbet palette cleanser and the cotton candy with pop rocks when we got the check were great additional touches too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Muy Bueno!FoodieSchmoodieDined on 9/17/2014This was our second visit...after our first visit we knew we wanted to come back and share it with friends... great food, drinks, & our server was fantastic! The granita w/tequila to cleanse the palette & the pop rock cotton candy are nice touches.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I want to go back every weekBkleinDined on 9/16/2014This place was amazing. Took our group for a work dinner and was not disappointed. The service was a tad slow, but not enough to annoy us. Corn bread- best I've ever had ( and I live in Georgia) Shrimp ajillo: jumbo shrimp packed with flavor Lime garlic chicken: cooked to perfection and full of labor- the aave Brussel sprouts were incredible Lastly, although the flavor was great for the cuatro leches, the cake was too dense. Definitely a cool touch with the cotton candy at the end! I would come back every week and have become a huge Lolita advocateSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I'm now spoiledPartyOfFourDined on 9/13/2014My husband and I are Mexican food aficionados. We have been to just about every Mexican restaurant in the area and this place far exceeded my expectations. Yes it was a special occasion for us, so that made the night special anyway but the vibe and the food and the service here was just awesome. The drinks were all made with fresh ingredients and I think I went to heaven. Unfortunately I waited too long to do this review so I don't remember exactly what I ate or drank but I remember how much I loved everything I had. As I recall we got a trio of guacamole which was made up of three different types of guacamole and that was amazing too. I don't live nearby but I cannot wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, active nightlifeLisaDined on 9/6/2014Love the food, everything is delicious! Drinks are spot on, which explains the noise factor. Loud at night, definitely a vibrant bar sceneSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DelishJFoodieVIPDined on 9/6/2014My husband and I were very impressed. We loved everything we ordered and we ordered alot! The service was lightning fast. We loved the extras...and I'm not going to say it and spoil the surprises that await newcomers. We had a great date night. My only complaint is that it was SO loud that I had a hard time talking to him. I wouldn't go back with another couple because I would struggle to communicate. It was fine for just the two of us.Special Features:
- Lolita reviewOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/4/2014the food and ambiance were great. Service wasn't. I had called and pre-ordered a dessert to be brought with a candle since we went there to celebrate my husband's birthday. They forgot completely to bring in the dessert, and we just ended up not getting since I was waiting for his surprise and all that came was the check.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service great foodDREWVIPDined on 9/4/2014Loved the service from our waiter. He was cool, fun and best of all, knowledgeable. He steered us towards some adventurous offerings based on our likes in drinks and food and I ended up with a great tuna I wouldn't have otherwise gotten. If you haven't been you have to go.Special Features:
- Great Drinks!CubanfoodieVIPDined on 8/28/2014Every time I visit Boston, always come here. Great specialty cocktails, tacos and guacamole. Love the dark ambiance and bar scene.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gimmicks that WorkNomBostonDined on 8/25/2014Lolita is a basement bar restaurant decked out like a dungeon. It's noisy and crowded for a Monday night, but the food was unexpectedly good. There's also salsa, chips, grapefruit amuse buche, and cotton candy complementary.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it! Fun, good food & drinks!dmvcwdVIPDined on 8/20/2014This is an unexpected little gem! I thought it was going to be kitchy & average food... very happy to report that the food was very good, the atmosphere is fun, dark, romantic & goth! Highly recommend checking this place out, definitely great change of pace to boring dining venues. Starters: meat balls (w/mole sauce) & chorizo, both were great tasting. Trio of salsas are fantastic & a nice change from the typical one note you're offered at Mexican spots. Main selections: lime & garlic chicken and Crispy Pork, both were great tasting & we'd order again. Dessert: don't pass up the Chocolate BreadPudding option! It's more like a brownie with espresso ice-cream & hot fudge, not heavy just yummy! Margarita: our fave, go classic w/AVION tequilaSpecial Features:
- something differentJudyVIPDined on 8/17/2014Ambiance and design is unusual--dark and funky but kind of fun. Good service and my husband liked his chicken dish very much. My shredded pork tacos were ok, but nothing special. Love the surprise at the end of the meal!
- Mystery awaits..YumODined on 8/16/2014Sat night, my boyfriend&I were de-virginized by Lolita& it was an experience we'll seek again. Passing by this spot during the daytime leaves one curious as the door with Lolita above it is all you see.Is it a speak easy, does someone really like their name&, they named a store after it, but then you see the menu (at night, a bouncer)& you realize I have to see what this place is about. Definitely, make a reservation, the bar is small& not every patron will allow you space to yell a drink order&the bartenders don't necessarily see you 2or 3 rows back, you'll be thankful you secured a spot. Its dark&deliciously vampy inside, fair amount of non-dining lush spots to lounge in, noisy with a young professionals crowd, food tasty, tequila smooth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cool SpotIsabellaVIPDined on 8/14/2014Brought some friends from out of town for dinner. The food is good, and decently priced. Has a cool Gothic Mexican Cantina vibe. We loved the grapefruit and dry ice pre dinner treat and post dinner green apple and pop rocks cotton candy.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/12/2014Lolita's is a lot of fun! It is dark and eerie inside; red chandeliers and some creepy artwork. This adds to the ambiance. The drinks are fabulous; especially the Spicy Cucumber Margarita! The food is tasty too. Yummy chips and salsa. It is a fun place to go, although it is quite dark and noisy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CupcakeWonkVIPDined on 8/9/2014Came here for my 26th Birthday - wonderful atmosphere and great service for a group of 6. Food was great with reasonable prices -- will definitely be back!Special Features:
- Romantic and DramaticOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/6/2014We made reservations for Lolita for my birthday. The interior and atmosphere were fantastic. It's absolutely a romantic and dramatic place. The food is very good and I enjoyed the appetizer with the chips and house made salsas. The Brisket Tacos were really good and the Ginger Peach Sangria was the highlight of the night. Service was fine and quick. The only thing I didn't love was how small and cramped our table was. Other than that it was great and we will be going back!Special Features:
- Not Tex-Mex, but great foodcandice0128VIPDined on 8/3/2014We're from Texas now living in the Boston area, so we are always looking for some great Tex-Mex. While Lolita, is not Tex-Mex, it had some great flavors and great food. We got the blackened shrimp queso for an app. It came out piping out & was absolutely delicious. We also order some margaritas, which were great too. The ambiance is also great. Kinda dark, but bright at the same time. We will definitely keep Lolita on our list of places to come back too!Special Features:
- The following 154 reviews are from the Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar reviews archive.
- The missing reservationOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 7/30/2014I had booked a table for twelve 6 weeks in advance yet, amazingly, when I arrived, they had no record of it. Finally, when I showed them my Open Table confirmation, they said they would try to help us out. To their credit, they accommodated us, but it wasn't "oh, I'm so sorry for our mistake" attitude I would have expected. All this considered, the food and drink are good here, in a boisterous, subterranean setting.
- Moody, not your typical RestaurantprettynotbadDined on 7/29/2014My girlfriend and I both enjoyed our time spent at Lolita. The ambiance of the restaurant and bar was interesting and added a bit of excitement. We were pleased to not see the typical sombrero and disheveled look of a Tex-Mex place, but more of a risque approach to design. The reason to come here was definitely the mojitos (soooooo good). The food was good, we both enjoyed the salmon dish I ordered, but the soupy vertical nachos left much to be desired (though if one enjoys queso dip this might not be so bad). We definitely enjoyed all the little touches that made our dining experience great.Special Features:
- fun, tasty, great drink selection!ksgshmoopsVIPDined on 7/28/2014Great late night spot! Went in for a 1045 reservation with a party of 4, and even though there was a little miscommunication and slow start, our server Justin noticed the issues without anything being said, and he was quick to make sure we were all happy and well accommodated. The drinks are really fantastic, and the food is really fun, always hits the spot. Try the corn! It's delicious! For drinks the White Lie and the strawberry rhubarb concoction are out of this world. We all left really happy and excited to come back. Thanks Justin for really taking care of us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mexican with a flaresmithan2VIPDined on 7/28/2014GREAT food and drinks.. wish we saved room for dessert, but the cotton candy with pop rocks at the end was a fun twist.. brought back childhood memories. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:

Claves Meaning and Definition in Wikipedia
Claves (Spanish word: second e is sounded) are percussion instruments. They are small wooden sticks made of tropical hardwood. They are used in pairs. They are traditionally heard in Cuban music, e.g. salsa.
In Cuban music they often repeat a special rhythm called clave (pronounce: "CLAH-ve").

Correctly inflated tyres improve mileage by up to 3.3%, and are safer and last longer. 0 Start A Health24 blog » Follow Health24 on Facebook » Test Are you envirohealth savvy? » Ask EnviroHealth Expert » Shark feeding frenzy caught on camera The recycling headache list Low tyre pressure increases vehicle drag and fuel consumption. Correctly inflated tyres improve mileage by up to 3.3%, and are safer and last longer. Ask your vehicle manufacturer for the recommended pressure or look it up in the owner's manual; in some cars it's shown inside the driver's door or in the cubby-hole. Don't go according to the maximum pressure printed on the tyre. Tyres lose pressure over time and at lower temperatures. Check your tyres at least monthly or whenever they look a bit flat; in the morning, before driving friction has heated the tyres and increased pressure, is a good time. Another advantage of checking the pressure frequently is that slow leaks can be found and repaired before they cause permanent damage to the tyre. Don't over-inflate your tyres either -- that's also not good for their longevity, and increases the risk of blow-outs. - Olivia Rose-Innes, EnviroHealth Editor, Health24, November 2011 More fuel saving tips More EnviroHealth Tips More in Lifestyle New natural wonder: Giant living SA flag More: EnviroHealthGreen tips SPONSORED: So many prizes!

Rene Bourque LW ANA 6 Months
Rene Bourque isn't likely to argue with you if you called Tuesday's 7-4 victory over the New York Rangers the biggest game of his career.
Bourque led the charge for Montreal with a hat trick. "There are some games when the puck is coming to you," Borque said. "I've had a few (hat tricks) but obviously none as big as this one. I had a tough first period, the puck was bouncing but it was a little better in the second. You also have to give credit to my linemates. (Dale) Weise set me up with two great passes." He's now on a three-game point streak and has eight goals and three assists in 16 playoff contests.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 6 Months
Rene Bourque emerged from a slump to tally three goals in the Canadiens' 7-4 win over the New York Rangers Tuesday night.
He entered the game having scored just once in his past 10 contests so this breakout was certainly unexpected. The Habs also received offense from a number of other sources as David Desharnais, Alex Galchenyuk, Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty all found the back of the net in the big victory while Andrei Markov dished out three helpers.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 6 Months
Rene Bourque scored his fifth goal of the playoffs in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the New York Rangers.
He also took back-to-back hooking penalties in the first period and an elbowing infraction during the third. Bourque was credited with four hits in the contest as well. He has six points in 12 games in the postseason.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 7 Months
Rene Bourque missed Monday's practice because of the flu bug.
Coach Michel Therrien is hoping that Bourque will play Tuesday night in Game 3 against Boston.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 7 Months
Rene Bourque netted his fourth marker of the postseason Thursday night.
He also earned an assist in Montreal's 4-3 double overtime victory over Boston in Game 1. Bourque picked up right where he left off in Round 1, where he had three goals in four matches, versus Tampa Bay.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 7 Months
Rene Bourque racked up eight shots and scored his third goal of the postseason on Sunday night.
He's been a completely different player in the playoffs than he was during the regular season and a motivated Bourque can be a tough player for the opposition to handle. He got Montreal on the board just 11 seconds into Game 3 to give him three goals in his last two games.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 7 Months
Rene Bourque drove the Canadiens past the Lightning in Game 2 on Friday night, scoring two goals in the Habs' 4-1 victory in Tampa Bay.
Bourque's first goal is making the rounds on the highlight reels, as the veteran split the Bolts' defense and poked the puck past a sprawling Anders Lindback. That goal stood as the game-winner, while Bourque's second marker increased the Habs' lead to 3-0 and essentially putting the game out of reach in the third period for the hometown Lightning.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 8 Months
Rene Bourque recorded a goal and an assist for the Canadiens in Saturday's 4-3 win over Toronto.
Bourque had recently been banished to the press box by coach Michel Therrien, but he took full advantage of his opportunity to get back into the lineup with this showing. Brian Gionta, Max Pacioretty and Tomas Plekanec also contributed to the cause with goals in the game for Montreal.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 8 Months
Rene Bourque will dress against the Maple Leafs Saturday night.
He has been a healthy scratch more times than not as of late but he did skate in practice Friday with Alex Galchenyuk and Brian Gionta and has been declared in the lineup Saturday night against the Buds. That said, we think you have to take a wait and see approach with Bourque before activating him.
Rene Bourque LW ANA 9 Months
Rene Bourque has been ice cold for the Canadiens.
He has generated just two goals and three assists in his past 30 games. Bourque has been in an offensive fog for most of the 2013-14 campaign, with 12 points in 53 contests.

Awards watch: Linsley listed by Rimington
July, 9, 2013
By Austin Ward | ESPN.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The wait is almost over. The season is finally creeping up again, and the annual release of preseason watch lists for the biggest awards in college football confirms it -- and helps provide a useful distraction during the final month leading up to the start of training camp. BuckeyeNation will be tracking all the Ohio State players being tracked by the various committees and will be handicapping their odds of bringing a few trophies back to campus along the way.
Jim Owens/Icon SMIOhio State center Corey Linsley made a rapid progression to become a key member of the Buckeyes' line.
- What: The nation's best center
- On the list: Ohio State senior Corey Linsley
- Credentials: Just barely more than a year ago Linsley was only starting his transition to a new position and leaving a little room for uncertainty for the Buckeyes at one of the most important, but often overlooked, spots on the field. A steady season later, the senior is one of the most critical cogs in the offense, a respected voice in the locker room, a relentless worker and a reliable snapper who helps keep the program moving forward in virtually every way possible. Linsley wasn't perfect a year ago, though the bad snaps could be counted on one hand and perhaps a slight decline in his play at the end of the perfect season could be chalked up to a painful foot issue that ultimately required surgery and kept him out of action during spring ball. Even without those workouts, the Buckeyes have complete faith in Linsley to continue triggering the attack -- and build on a productive first season at center before wrapping up his career with the Buckeyes.
- Head to head: There will be one showcase opportunity against another center currently being watched by the committee, Brandon Vitabile of Northwestern.
- Odds: Given the volume of credit Urban Meyer and the Ohio State coaching staff doles out to the offensive line in general and often to Linsley in particular, Linsley is likely to be a recognizable name on the ballot all season long. And if the Buckeyes shift the attack into an even higher gear and remain in contention for a shot in the national championship game, Linsley's chances of becoming a finalist or even a possible winner will only go up.

'Poopetrator' tossing feces in Yale dryers
Updated On: Oct 07 2013 09:29:26 AM CDT
Police at Yale University are searching for a "stinker" who's been tossing human feces in student clothes dryers.
Dubbed the "poopetrator," they're being blamed for at least four incidents in the past month at Saybrook College, according to the Yale Daily News.
Police are investigating. And officials at the Ivy League school are considering changes in access to laundry rooms.
Early last month, Lucy Fleming opened a dryer in the Saybrook College laundry room and found her clothes soiled with human feces. They had also been urinated on.
She tried re-washing them, but they were ruined.
"I simultaneously wanted to throw up, cry and punch someone," she told the Daily News.
The culprit apparently struck again on Friday, hanging clothes soiled with feces on a clothesline in a courtyard of Berkeley College, according to the New Haven Register.

iPhone 6: The final straw for Android makers eaten alive by the data parasite?
".. I can't be the only one who's seen the prices of the new iPhones..........."
No, amongst those of us who bother to examine and compare properly, either because we are professional techies or (like myself) are self-educated amateur techies, the prices concerned (unless one is wholly committed to the Apple ecosystem, which is fair enough - each to their own and all that) are in fact eye-watering and you are definitely not alone in that opinion.
Bonking with Apple has POUNDED mobe operators' wallets
I am as keen on tech as most here and (almost) always willing to try something new.
However, until the banks, retailers etc show that they have actually learned something about security with the systems that are already in place it will be a very cold day in hell before I touch NFC/phone-based payments with the thin end of a very long barge-pole. Oh and no, I do not care if that makes me seem like a Luddite.
In a spin: Samsung accuses LG exec of washing machine SABOTAGE
I do think that both Samsung and LG should grow up...........
..........or at the very least they should try to persuade their employees to grow up. Oh and no, I am not remotely "anti-Android" just in case the usual suspects are tempted to start howling. On the contrary, of the four mobiles we have (two primaries, two back-ups) three of them are Android phones. However, the behaviour of these persons is unbelievably embarrassing - both companies should deal with them.
Quit drooling, fanbois - haven't you SEEN what the iPhone 6 costs?
I agree with the author.
Yes, Apple make quality hardware. There is no question about that.* However, the subsidy model in the US where Apple has been able to offload virtually all its production/marketing risk onto the telcos who then offload it onto the punters in semi-hidden form, has been crucial to their dominance in the US market. This of course has a huge impact (because of the large amount of publicity/news stories this generates) in terms of enabling Cupertino to dominate the world marketing/news-stroking agenda in a way they otherwise would not have been able to. One would get the impression that the iPhones are ubiquitous all over planet earth, not so. There is (for example) no, repeat no country in Europe including the UK that comes any where near reflecting US conditions.** Any change to the sales/pricing model within the telco market in the US will present some very interesting challenges for Apple Corp.
*Declaration: I have not owned anything manufactured by Apple in twenty years.
** Which explains why when faced with Samsung's success in the States Cupertino's reaction was hysterical judicial carpet-bombing - they are terrified of any serious market challenge on their home-turf, it is that important to them.
Amazon axes hated Fire Phone price: 99 pennies but a niche? Ain't none
"Hated"? I do not honestly think that the public invested any strong emotions.............
......in Amazon's mobe at all. The impression I get from threads in non-tech magasines attached to consumer articles about the product is that hoi poloi greeted Bezos' efffort with complete disinterest - a response that IMHO is far more deadly for their image/strategy.
TV techies proudly display their MIGHTY BENDERS in Berlin
What I want is a high quality OLED panel in the 55 - 60 inch range...........
.......... connected via a single "OneConnect TV interface break-out box" (to coin a phrase). It should be slim, light-weight (I should in practice be able to hang it on the wall one-handed - yes they can build such a device) and fit flush to the wall. What they can stuff is:
1. Their sodding speakers - I did not buy a reasonably costly home-theatre/hifi system to put up with that garbage/weight/bezel-penalty and have the dubious privilege of paying more to the TV-producer concerned than would otherwise be the case.
2. I am not interested in their ideas of what "smart" might mean - I am smart enough to connect a pc to it (and build it my self for that matter - the pc that is, not the telly :P)
3. They can shove their bendy tellies where the sun doesn't shine - a key element of the modern display for me is to be able to mount it flush to the wall with as little physical projection out into the room as possible and as wide a sweet spot as can be achieved to ensure that those watching it do not have to practically sit in each other's laps.

Report: Sprint to bring Sony Xperia into tough US smartphone market

Reg man looks through a Glass, darkly: Google's toy ploy or killer tech specs?
Well, no I'm not in favour of thumping people as a general rule but.......
"As for the potential for getting punched on the nose if you walk into a bar wearing Glass... well, idiots get thumped all the time for lesser reasons and anyone who shows such a staggering lack of social grace will get no sympathy for me."
.......if you did walk into a bar with a camera and start photographing perfect strangers without their say-so that is very like what would happen. When equipped as a glasshole however a certain type is going to assume that:
A. He cannot see whether you are using the camera or not.
B. He will then insist that you take them off so that you couldn't take any.
C. He will then thump you if/when you refuse.
The old tradition (from a very long time ago) that it is unfair to hit someone wearing glasses will take on a whole new meaning in as much as those wearing glasses will be considered to be fair game in certain circles.
Apple tried to get a ban on Galaxy, judge said: NO, NO, NO
This attempt by Apple to continue to pursue the issue over phones that are......
........no longer on sale is a fairly typical example of how "BigCorp" (ie any large company) and their legal departments try to game the legal system. Apple are basically trying to create ammunition from old phones as precedent for renewed attacks on phones from Samsung that are current. I.e Their present legal shenanigans in this context are nothing more than a shell game. Until the judicial system in the US (it would probably require some form of judgment from the "Supremes") sends a very firm message to the American "Managerati" that they will personally be treated as vexatious litigants if they continue with such tactics I am afraid we will continue to see plenty more of this in the future.
So, Apple won't sell cheap kit? Prepare the iOS garden wall WRECKING BALL
My personal opinion is that these companies are likely to...........
" Soon it will be more important to see whether Apple can gain at the expense of Lenovo, Xiaomi and Huawei than its traditional arch-rival."
..........stuff Cupertino, Mountain View and Redmond combined. Do I welcome this? I am not sure that I understand what that question means. We are in the middle of a paradigm-shift in the world-economy. Where it is all going to end is something that I do not claim to have a clue about other than this kind of "navel-gazing" by the "First World" is an utter self-obsessed waste of time.

Agreed.

When it comes to that kind of thing the old saw "rubbish in, rubbish out" applies. Bluntly put, a significant number of people are absolute rubbish at creating and delivering presentations.

Verizon to limit unlimited 4G plans
@pierce Re: "it should have been metered from the get-go..."
I entirely agree. The marketing of these so-called "unlimited" plans has been dishonest from the outset. How it is that the ASA has not descended on them (the telcos in general not just Verizon) from a very great height over the term "unlimited" is a mystery to me. It is clear that no infrastructure as currently envisaged could cope with people having high-res streaming on virtually continuously. Some throttling of the most intensive users is unavoidable. However, they should be genuinely open and honest about that in their advertising, not just in the small print.

*The only world a vampire understands is one where he is last of his kind left standing.

US judge 'troubled' by Apple's $450m bid to end ebook price-fixing row
@MrDamage Re: " Unlike you, I have the balls to put my name to my comments."
This has been a bugbear of mine for a long time. The same suspects use/abuse the facility to post anonymously to avoid having to take responsibility for what they post. This does not mean that I am calling for the facility to be withdrawn - far from it in fact. However, the cowardice/dishonesty in that kind of behaviour really fucks me off.
ITC: Seagate and LSI can infringe Realtek patents because Realtek isn't in the US
@Dan 55 RE: "That sounds like a bit of a tilted playing field."
Indeed. Your italicsing "the International Trade Commission" hits the nail right on the head. If companies not "resident" in the US have no rights when persuing/defending a case against this august body then the International Trade Commission is in fact the National Trade Commission" and as such should having nothing at all to do with these decisions where one of the parties is not a "US resident". If the International Trade Commission is not interested in international law then my original point stands.
I really think that the USA should think about what they are saying here.
"Seagate and LSI are off the hook for infringing Taiwanese firm Realtek's semiconductor patents after the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that Realtek can't enforce its rights without a local presence."
Your patents are invalid unless you trade within the United States? Pardon my naivete but I thought that there were several international agreements relating to patent recognition? We have here in the UK the expression "Little Englander" describing a closed-minded "patriot" who cannot see further than his own nose. This kind of thing from the "Leader of The Free World" is bloody embarrassing.
Too many IT conferences to cover? MICROSOFT to the RESCUE!
@Hollerith 1 Re: "I have gone AC on occasion..........."
Of course and I understand why circumstances sometimes require "donning the mask". However, I have over the last few years become convinced that some AC-postings are driven by a desire to avoid being exposed for having argued "both ends against the middle" from one posting to the next simply to be able to get away with posting something completely illogical (in the context of previous postings) against whoever their favourite hate-figure is. That type of dishonest debating tactic really pisses me off. On the other hand, as I made clear in the post to which you were kind enough reply, that does not mean that I wish the capacity to post as an AC to be withdrawn.
Re: "You mean MSFT being subjected to bad messages is kind of unfair ? "
Sorry Herr Sauerkraut, I did not understand a word of that other than that you appear to believe that my post to which you "replied" had something to do with The Demon Lords of Redmond. Given that I did not say word about Redmond I am somewhat puzzled. I only meant that I could clearly see why the poster concerned needed to post as an AC, something which I remain convinced was clear from what I wrote. Furthermore if someone is in a position where they genuinely feel that posting something negative about MS (they might be employed in the channel with a firm that is an MS "partner" for example and are concerned that their employer might turn nasty) would cause them problems then they should certainly post as an AC if that is really the only way they can safely participate in the debate.
Re: US only: What I wish to say is somewhat off topic but here goes:
Hi AC. I realise that I have often mouthed off about the "ring on your door-bell and run away ACs" but on this occasion I wish to make it clear that I fully understand the need for the capacity to post here as an AC for the reasons you allude to in your post. I hope that you will forgive my frustration with those who abuse the system. It is entirely clear that you could only comment in this context under conditions of anonymity. This facility I regard as crucial to free debate here at El Reg - I just get fairly hacked off with those who take the piss out of it.

Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion; saut until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeño, ancho chile powder, and lime peel; stir 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Reserve 1/3 cup crabmeat for garnish. Combine 2 cups corn kernels and 1 cup corn broth in blender; puree until almost smooth. Add to saucepan with onion mixture. Add remaining 3 cups corn broth and 1 1/2 cups corn kernels; bring to simmer. Add remaining crabmeat, 1 teaspoon lime juice, and 1/3 cup chopped cilantro leaves. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired.
Ladle soup into bowls. Top each serving with some of reserved crabmeat. Sprinkle each with remaining chopped cilantro leaves and Crispy Tortilla Strips and serve.
