The Virginia women's basketball team won its ninth straight game on Sunday, beating Wake Forest 77-59 in its conference opener.
The Cavaliers trailed by as many as 16 points in the first half, but were able to cut the lead down to 8 before the break. But UVa outscored Wake Forest 46-20 in the second half, which included a 24-0 run over a span that lasted more than seven minutes.
Monica Wright led the way for Virginia with 20 points and 9 rebounds. Lyndra Littles and Aisha Mohammed were the only other Cavaliers in double-figures, finishing with 19 and 15 respectively. Wake Forest's Camille Collier led all scorers with 25 points on the day, 21 of which came in the first half.
With the win, the Cavaliers improve to 14-2 on the season, 1-0 in the ACC. They'll take on #2 North Carolina in Chapel Hill on Friday night. Tip-off is set for 8:30 pm.

Bumps in the Road: Mitt Romney's Top 6 Car-Related Euphemisms
Mitt Romney is attacking Obama for his "bumps in the road" comment, in which the president compared eruptions of violence in the Middle East to something Mitt's dog might complain about from the roof.
Romney's right: Unrest in the Middle East is more pressing than, say, a pothole. (Unless you're trying to use federal funds to fill that pothole, in which case, socialism). So, what are some better car-related euphemisms Mitt would use when disaster strikes?
1. Wrong turn. The go-to explanation for when you criticize half the nation as lazy, entitled, poorly groomed, most-likely illiterate slobs.
2. Denting the Cadillac. When you try relating to voters by describing in detail how rich you are and it backfires.
3. Driving on the wrong side of the road: Describes the cultural misunderstanding that occurs when you realize foreigners don't appreciate being insulted.
4. Oh my God, somebody broke the GPS: When you say something about foreign policy and hope it works.
5. Do you smell smoke? When your campaign comes under heavy fire from your own party.
6. Running out of gas: What's happening to his campaign right now.

Helmets seem to get better and better (this is the way it's supposed to work!# and this the best yet. Light weight, comfortable, great features #I wasn't too sure about the drop down sun shade, but it is great to have, once you find the lever). Great fit, air adjustable cheek pads. The works.

The team at this airport retailer has created a cohesive, supportive culture along with creative approaches to a challenging business. The airport retail business is, in many ways, an entirely different animal from retail in a mall or downtown area. Although the stores have a prime location with a large, almost hostage population that mostly falls in a very positive demographic for shopping, these people didn't come to the airport to shop, turning every purchase into an impulse buy. But Susan Stackhouse and her team at Stellar Partners, Inc. thrive in this environment.

Despite myriad challenges from the federal government and a down economy, this tobacco retail chain won't vanish in a puff of smoke any time soon. Most retailers will agree: 2009 was a terrible year for business. But few were also hit with the largest single tax on a consumer product in the history of the US and an overhaul of federal regulations for the industry. Smoker Friendly, a national tobacco products retailer, was one of those few, but good planning, some luck, and an optimistic outlook helped maintain this Colorado-based retailer's relatively strong position moving into 2010.

The success of this independent retail chain proves that a show of appreciation can go a long way with customers, employees, and vendors. The volatile economic climate has affected businesses across every industry throughout the last 12 to 18 months, both in the US and abroad. And although no business or market has really shown immunity, some have certainly been hit harder than others. With unemployment at a staggering high, many people have adapted to the situation by curtailing their spending, which, of course, has had a significant impact on the retail world, making it one of the hardest hit.

Giving customers the most for their money has helped this 35-store chain stay a step ahead in the dollar store industry. New York-based dollar store chain Just-A-Buck rose to prominence in a busy industry by offering its customers products that are inexpensive, but not cheap. "When we opened our first close-out store in 1988, we decided that we would sell at the dollar price point, and customers couldn't believe the value they were getting," said Steve Bakst, president and CEO.

Narcissistic, greedy: What Wikipedia says about its appeal
It's time for the annual Wikipedia fundraising drive. But for once it's providing hours of fun for bored office workers - thanks to an unfortunate juxtaposition. The appeal for cash features various Wikipedia contributors - and Maximum Leader Jimbo Wales. Unfortunately the alignment of the page heading underneath the appeal …
kick out the deletionists & I'll donate
I agree with this guy:
I donated to wikipedia a while back, but I'm not going to do it again until they put a stop to the deletionists.
Between the Wikitards that "claim" pages and guard them like treasure and ban anyone who dares to touch "their" property and the Deletionists i gave up on Wikipedia awhile back. The last straw for me was being banned for a month for daring to ask "What exactly IS noteworthy?" when I found a simple error in a page about a TV show. It said backstory for character A was A, I simply added a small foreword that it was changed to A by executive meddling and posted links to both the writer AND director saying this, as well as gave the minutes:seconds of where the writer and the actor playing the character complain about this in the DVD commentary, only to watch it magically turn back in under 10 minutes as "not noteworthy" when i asked what exactly IS noteworthy I was banned.
Frankly Wikipedia was a nice idea but jumbo has let it turn to poo. Since it is GPL someone really ought to fork the thing and make it a true crowdsourced source of knowledge like the original goal was supposed to be.
Think you should give credit where it's due:
My personal favourite is:
If this is NSFW for your office
I'd quit.
'Arse' is enough to make something NSFW? I was expecting at least coprophilia.
You misunderstand.
No suitable for *Wales*
Doesn't appeal to me
I got fed up with seeing Little Jimmy's face on Wiki so blocked the pic with Ad Block.
(also blocked any pic with Zuckerberg in Facebook)
What's yanking my chain is how the picture loads last. You start reading the article thinking the page has loaded and *boom* the text has been shunted down by Jimmy's fuck-witted countenance and you have lost your place.
Strikes me as a dirty trick.
Why does *anyone* think that putting pictures like those at the top of every page is going to do anything except make people try as best as they can not to see them?
Wikipedia does it best anyway
"Please donate to keep Wikipedia free."
Wrap your head around THAT logic!
While riding on Theodore G. Bear, I saw...
my own personal favourite
came when I looked up "Born Slippy" on Mr Wale's esteemed organ.

RACINE, Wis. (AP) -- Racine police say a suspect in a Green Bay homicide has been arrested after he allegedly choked and robbed a Racine woman and locked her in the basement.
Green Bay police had been looking for 22-year-old Terry Lee Shepard in connection with the April 15th shooting death of a 32-year-old man. Shepard has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide in that case.
Racine police announced Friday that he'd been arrested. They say a 38-year-old woman told investigators she met Shepard online and invited him to her home, but he tied her up and choked her until she passed out.
She says Shepard also threatened to hurt her children. Authorities tracked him to a Kenosha address, where he was arrested.
Online court records don't list a defense attorney for him.

PAWTUCKET — At this stage of his rehab assignment, David Ortiz is more concerned about feeling good when he steps out of the batter's box as opposed to actual results.
The Red Sox star came out of Wednesday's contest admitting that his injured heels are doing just fine. He finished hitless in four at-bats as Pawtucket bid adieu to a two-game losing streak with a 6-1 triumph against Lehigh Valley.
PAWTUCKET — If first impressions do indeed count, then Mitch Maier put his best foot forward upon formally introducing himself to PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina.
"He's very driven and focused," was the takeaway DiSarcina had of Pawtucket's new outfield addition. "I didn't have to ask him to come into the office and go over the signs. He walked right in that first day."

Filed under: Advancing Career
To stay engaged, your direct reports need to know the specific track to career advancement. If they don't know, they will go.
Go where? Away from you. They will head where they believe they can advance, and they've stopped believing you.
The person you've spent time, energy, and $$$$ training hunts greener pastures. Let them know you're taking them to greener pastures. I once had a guy tell me no one in my position should ever be paid more than $100,000 per year (I was at about $70k). I was disheartened and left a couple years later (God's grace). It took them months to find my replacement and the process cost the organization at least $180,000 in lost revenue. They never recovered. The discouraging fellow was forced out 18 months after I left. Not because I am all that special, but because that's just how things work.
Google the question what's it cost to replace a manger and 213 million articles will tell you "IT COSTS A LOT." Scholars report that managers carry a 150% replacement cost minimum. Another one shows data that the actual cost to replace a good manager is 250% of their salary. A third study claims a company will spend $58,000 to replace an $18,000 per year customer service rep. Wow!
Biggest source of turnover? Lack of engagement with the job. Biggest reason people disengage? Lack of social support. If their internal conversation sounds like, "I don't fit here," that means they have no friends and coming to work feels like sitting alone in the high school lunchroom. You, their upline direct report, can offer them a seat at the cool kids table.
The second reason people disengage is no clear path to advance. That one's easier for you. Show them a path to career success. If someone reports to you, do not assume that she or he knows how to advance. What they know (or believe) is that you hold the keys to that next promotion. In their mind, you are either boosting them up the ladder or stepping on their hand as they try to climb. Rotten managers kick people below them in the head. Great managers move up and take others with them.
Next time you meet with your direct, ask: "How do you advance in our company?" If they cannot answer the question in two minutes, they do not know. Apologize and explain the path until they can answer concisely. If they don't know, they will go.

Yellow flags meaning these are penalties. Reasons to stop play and make sure everyone understands the rules.
Whose rules? Yours.
You are the expert of you. If you don't mind broken relationships, fair enough. If you prefer exclusivity, don't assume your significant other agrees. Assumption is not your friend. But make your rules known early enough that the other person can agree or move on. Be honest.
Three quick flags.
1. Your family doesn't like him/her.
2. Your gut feeling isn't quite right.
3. Old flames still smolder.
1. Unless your family is a bunch of crackheads or otherwise pill-popping emotional wrecks, trust them. Good fam knows you better than anyone and they care for your future as much as you do. They've proven their investment by caring for you. Ask for their blunt opinions and pay attention to what they advise.
2. People tend to ignore what they don't like and attend to what they do like. All of us carry a brain dysfunction that puts observations into categories and sorts those categories. Past experiences and preferred outcomes speed up the sorting with a kind of shorthand. Simply stated, humans hear/see/feel more than they pay attention to a way of coping with all the information.
If something about the object of your affection doesn't feel quite right, pay attention to it. That "gut feeling" often turns out to be a real problem – especially for women as they tend to hear/see/feel more than men.
Follow the feeling of ick. If nothing, great. If something, better than great.
3. Every Boy Scout knows how to kill a fire dead dead. One does not leave things to smolder in the woods. Nor does one allow old flames to smolder around a new relationship.
That doesn't mean you have to demand exclusive rights up front. Allow room for the other person some room to sort if they like you or the other, and don't hand them your heart while they're sorting. Give them room.
Once you've chosen to pursue the new flame over the old, extinguish the old. I mean, no Facebook, no "just a drink after work." Do everyone a favor, including yourself. Old flames left untended tend to spark and damage things around them. Let 'em go.

If you really want to get to know someone, ask better questions.
I've made the mistake of asking someone, "tell me your strengths," and watched him glaze over or stammer to come up with something profound. "I can drink a barrel of whiskey," seems to be what some people want to say (according to their Facebook photos), but I never get anything that interesting. More like, "uh…math?"
Maybe I should ask them to imagine writing two books about their greatest victories and "Give me the titles of those best-sellers." I expect next to learn the strengths that led to those victories, something of how they process their experiences, and their level of creativity.
"How have you worked with managers in the past?" begs me to answer, "Fine." A weak question deserves a weak answer, don't you agree? What if we ask them for a couple sentences about their "manager, co-worker, teacher, boyfriend, girlfriend) from heaven" and a couple more sentences on "THE MANAGER [significant other] FROM HELL"? I expect we'll have a laugh. I also expect I will hear what that person values in important relationships.
Anyone can ask, "What's going on?" and most of us do without really want to hear the answer. We have so little time these days. Perhaps we could slow down a bit and ask, "What are you looking forward to this week?" Probably not a date with the boyfriend from hell.

If that person you're trying to sell is saying yes while backing away with fear in her eyes, she's communicating no. People communicate constantly with their words, posture, movement, and facial expressions. If I'm giving you mixed signals, it's because I'm internally conflicted – ill at ease with your message.
Typically, mixed signals mean a lack of trust. Pay attention to that. Observe all the cues. If the eyes, words, and posture don't say yes, ask for feedback. And be nice about it, "It seems you're unsure. How can I help?"

What's the first meaningful response when someone says, "I have cancer"? Not the first thing. The first thing is always something we regret like "Oh" or "No" or my stupid go to line, "You're kidding" like that's something someone would kid about.
I'm thinking of the standard meaningful response. "Fight it."
We're Americans. We fight. If you're like me, TEXAS Americans (lucky!). We start the fight. We got slaughtered using flintlocks against cannons, but kept fighting. Once you win one like that, you believe you'll win them all. You're shocked when you lose.
Fight it! That's in our veins. Unless there's killer cells in our veins. I agree with conventional wisdom, cancer sucks.
What if sometimes it's ok not to fight?
What if it's ok to let go. Not when you stand a fighting chance. Not when defeat means enslavement. But maybe it's ok when the other side has cannons and you got … nothing.
I'm tainted by experience. When my grandmother was very old, she got sick and told me she was afraid to let go. She said, "I'm afraid God will be angry with me." Those are really hard words to write. Editing this, I've choked on them eight times. What I said at the time was also hard, "It's ok to let go. God won't be mad."
Somewhere inside, you want me to have been right, don't you? But, hell, who am I to speak for God? I'm nobody? I'm chosen? I'm a son? Of the King. I know what to say in Sunday School, but it still feels awfully presumptuous.
There's a really nice lady I worked with who is now fighting cannons. I like her; everybody likes her. I'm praying for her to feel good right up to the last breath. To have time to say goodbye to people who will miss her most. And when it's time, I pray that it's easy for her to let go.

You are the expert of you. Hire yourself for an hour as that expert. Do it at lunch–you can think and eat. Knock off a half hour early and come home a half hour later. DVR Mad Men and watch it as a reward for your work with yourself.
Use the time to write your preferred outcome to a specific issue about which you care. Do you want to weigh 10 pounds less? Do you want to be eligible for the next promotion at work? Are you glad to get home a half hour later because of the tension you find when you get there? Write a sentence and start having the life you want. You are, after all, the expert.

I took my team out for a prayer retreat yesterday. Way out in the country. There were cows and trees and a river and dust. It was glorious. (Thanks to the kind Oliver family for letting us use the place.)
I decided not to eat all day – sometimes Christians do that, but never during a potluck as that would disappoint the grandmas. Anyway, we started about 9:30 and around 3:00 all of us were hungry for spiritual nourishment and one of us was hungry for the food kind as well. We had all learned a lot about God and had some ideas what he wanted us to do next so we began asking for confirmation.
At 3:05 (I checked a clock), I looked up and saw this sitting on the fence! (See photo.) Sign from God? Maybe. Or it could be that the owner of the place feeds birds and they come around at 3 every day. I decided to write a note, "Dear Texas Aggies. Your chickens are really small. I'm hungry. How do you catch them? Your friend, a Texas Longhorn."
One of my favorite Aggies, Lyle Lovett had the answer.

Sub sinking 50 years ago led to safety changesBy DAVID SHARP
The Associated Press | April 06,2013AP FILE PHOTO
In this July 9, 1960, photo provided by the U.S. Navy, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Thresher is launched at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. Fifty years ago 129 men lost their lives when the sub sank during deep-dive testing off Cape Cod.KITTERY, Maine The first sign of trouble for the USS Thresher was a garbled message about a minor difficulty after the nuclear-powered submarine descended to about 1,000 feet on what was supposed to be a routine test dive off Cape Cod.
Minutes later, the crew of a rescue ship made out the ominous words exceeding test depth and listened as the sub disintegrated under the crushing pressure of the sea. Just like that, the Thresher was gone, along with 129 men.
Fifty years ago, the deadliest submarine disaster in U.S. history delivered a blow to national pride during the Cold War and became the impetus for safety improvements. To this day, some designers and maintenance personnel listen to an audio recording of a submarine disintegrating to underscore the importance of safety.
We can never, ever let that happen again, said Vice Adm. Kevin McCoy, an engineer and former submariner who now serves as commander of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, D.C.
This weekend, hundreds who lost loved ones when the Thresher sank will gather at memorial events in Portsmouth, N.H., and Kittery, Maine.
Built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, and based in Groton, Conn., the first-in-class Thresher was the worlds most advanced fast attack submarine when it was commissioned in 1961.
Featuring a cigar-shaped hull and nuclear propulsion, the 278-foot-long submarine could travel underwater for unlimited distances. It could dive deeper than earlier submarines, enduring pressure at unforgiving depths. It was designed to be quieter, to avoid detection.
On April 10, 1963, the submarine already had undergone initial sea trials and was back in the ocean about 220 miles off Cape Cod, Mass., for deep-dive testing. Some submariners are baffled by the initial message about a minor difficulty because its believed a brazed joint on an interior pipe had burst a problem anything but minor.
The Navy believes sea water sprayed onto an electrical panel, shorting it out and causing an emergency shutdown of the nuclear reactor.
The submarine alerted the USS Skylark, a rescue ship trailing it, that it was attempting to surface by emptying its ballast tanks. But that system failed, and the sub descended below crush depth.
Understanding their dire situation, Navy crew members and civilian technicians would have scrambled to close valves to try to stem the flooding, struggled with a ballast system disabled by ice, and worked to restore propulsion by restarting the reactor, a 20-minute process.
Their deaths would have been instant because of the force of the violent implosion. The subs remnants came to a rest on the ocean floor at a depth of 8,500 feet.
There was nothing the divers on the Skylark could do.
Its one of those times when theres silence, recalled Danny Miller, one of the Skylark divers, now 70 and living in Farmington, Mo. You dont know what to say. You dont know how to feel. You just know something tragic has happened.
The Thresher wreckage covers a mile of ocean floor, according to University of Rhode Island oceanographer Robert Ballard, who used his 1985 discovery of RMS Titanic as a Cold War cover for the fact that he had surveyed the Thresher on the same mission.
It was like someone put the submarine in a shredding machine, Ballard said in a recent interview. It was breathtaking. There were only a couple of parts that looked like a submarine.
Word of the disaster spread quickly.
Paul OConnor, now a union president at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, remembers seeing the bulletin on TV. He was 6. Barbara Currier, whose husband, Paul, was a civilian worker on the Thresher, was shopping with her daughters when she heard the news on the radio in a store.
What followed was a blur of activity for families. Navy officers in dress whites showed up on doorsteps. Friends and neighbors brought food.
After the submarine was declared sunk, President John F. Kennedy ordered the nations flags lowered to half-staff. International leaders sent condolences.
The men, they were heroes. Most of them were doing what they wanted to do for their country to keep the country safe, said Currier, 86, who never remarried and still lives in the same house in Exeter, N.H. They were pushing things to the limit.
For the families, the silver lining is that subs are now safer. The Navy accelerated safety improvements and created a program called SUBSAFE, an extensive series of design modifications, training and other improvements.
People involved in the SUBSAFE program are required to watch a documentary about the Thresher that ends with an actual underwater recording featuring the eerie sounds of metal creaking and bending as a U.S. Navy submarine breaks apart with the loss of all hands.
Every job we do, we need to have in the back of our minds that we have the lives of the sailors in our hands. Its that critical and its that literal, said OConnor, president of the Metal Trades Council.
Hundreds of family and friends of the Threshers crew, along with sailors who previously served on the submarine, will gather today for a memorial service in Portsmouth, N.H. A day later, neighboring Kittery will dedicate a flagpole that stretches 129 feet high in remembrance of the number of lives lost.
Because of their tender ages, and the lack of a body or proper grave site, children like Vivian Lindstrom, who lost her father, Samuel Dabruzzi, a Navy electronics technician, were unable to grieve properly.
Thanks to the reunions, they at least know theyre not alone, said Lindstrom, of Glenwood City, Wis.
Weve experienced the same things, felt the same things, she said. We feel like family. We call ourselves the Thresher family.MORE IN Vermont NewsHYDE PARK A lawyer for a sheriffs deputy who saw a domestic abuse investigation against him...

Walk to the Park on the Bay. Nice playground, basketball, baseball and a pier going out to the bay.

A $2 million dollar study commissioned by Roman Catholic Bishops at the height of the Church's sexual abuse scandal in the U.S. has found no connection between sexual orientation and abuse of children by clergy.
The full report by researchers at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan won't be completed until the end of next year. But the authors said their evidence to date found no data indicating that homosexuality was a predictor of abuse.
"What we are suggesting is that the idea of sexual identity be separated from the problem of sexual abuse," said Margaret Smith of John Jay College, in a speech to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops this week. "At this point, we do not find a connection between homosexual identity and the increased likelihood of subsequent abuse from the data that we have right now."
The question has been raised repeatedly within the church because the overwhelming majority of known victims were boys. As part of the church's response to the crisis, the Vatican ordered a review of all U.S. seminaries that, among other issues, looked for any "evidence of homosexuality" in the schools.
According to a report in the Associated Press, almost 14,000 sexual molestation claims have been filed in the past 60 years against Catholic clergy in the U.S. The question about sexual orientation has been raised repeatedly within and outside the church because the overwhelming majority of known victims were boys.
As part of the church's response to the crisis, the Vatican ordered a review of all U.S. seminaries that, among other issues, looked for any "evidence of homosexuality" in the schools.
Yet many experts on sex offenders reject any link between sexual orientation and committing abuse. Karen Terry, a John Jay researcher, said it was important to distinguish between sexual identity and behavior, and to look at who the offender had access to when seeking victims.
At the meeting on Tuesday Bishop Edward Braxton of the Diocese of Belleville, Illinois asked the researchers whether their study indicated that homosexuality should be considered when evaluating a candidate for the priesthood. In 2005, the Vatican issued a policy statement that men with "deep-seated" attraction to other men should be barred from the priesthood.
Smith said: "If that exclusion were based on the fact that that person would be more probable than any other candidate to abuse, we do not find that at this time."

text: Law Enforcement Groups Claim Immigration Bill Guts Future Enforcement (Video) by Debra Heine 11 Jun 2013 Share This: Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), one of the staunchest opponents of the Gang of Eight Immigration Reform bill, took to the Senate floor today to voice his opposition. He presented a letter signed by seventy-five NC sheriffs to the US Senate announcing their opposition to the bill because it will "endanger public safety." "This flawed immigration bill.... puts the public safety of citizens across the United States at risk, and hampers the ability of law enforcement officers to do their jobs," they said. Sessions also read parts of a letter from the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, National Citizenship and Immigration (CIS) Council, Kenneth Palinkas, who wrote: "there has been much public concern that the legalization occurs prior to any border enforcement. Indeed, from what I understand, every amendment offered in committee that made legalization contingent on achieving border security first, was defeated. History tells us that future promises will not be kept, border agents will be left high and dry by the executive branch as they have so many times before, regardless of who writes the plan." The letter went on to ask, "why should the Senate pass a bill that makes it even more difficult for USCIS officers to identify, remove, and keep out public safety threats?" Sessions continued, "I have talked to these officers. They asked to be a participant with the Gang of Eight in writing this [legislation]. And they were refused. They asked repeatedly. They warned that this would not work. [The Gang of Eight] never wanted to hear from the people who enforce the law every day. They wanted to hear from the amnesty crowd and that's who they met with."

Acme Made shrinks cases for 11" & 13" MacBook Air
Summary: Acme Made just updated its lineup of cases for the new 11" and 13" MacBook Airs, available from Apple retail stores and online.
Now you've had a few days to play with your brand new MacBook Air, it's time to look for cases that will fit your 11" or 13" computer. The popular Acme Made cases by the San Francisco-based company just updated its line with the launch of the new MBAs, so they're worth considering as you shop for some protection for your new computer.
Acme Made has kept its cases for the new MacBook Airs largely the same as its MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air offerings, but has added the Skinny Sleeve to fit the new 11" and 13" dimensions. All cases are available at Apple retail stores, on Apple.com and AcmeMade.com.
- Skinny Sleeve: Made of Acme Made's StretchShell neoprene material that is water and stain resistant, the Skinny Sleeve is as its name suggest: slim and minimal in design (pictured above and below). Despite its thin profile, it is a fully padded sleeve that features sewn-in reinforcement guards on both sides for extra protection. Instead of a zipper to keep the computer in place, the sleeve uses a stretchy elastic band that loops around the case for security. The Skinny Sleeve comes in both Matte Black and Purple; $39.95.
- Lombard Sleeve: As Rachel pointed out in her review, the Lombard Sleeve is the most fashionable of the Acme Made cases with a black-on-white design (it also comes in white-on-black but it is unclear from the website whether that design will be adapted to the new MBAs) and a removable strap. It's not all looks as the case has a water-resistant shell, as well as tricot lining and closed-cell foam padding (in purple) to protect your new MBA from scratches and damage. $49.95 at Apple Store; $64.99 on AcmeMade.com.
- Clutch: Available only for the 13" MacBook Air, the Clutch bag borrows design cues from classic briefcases and applied them to a laptop bag. The stylish Clutch has a canvas coated exterior with PU leather trim, in a messenger bag-like form factor complete with a flap and removable strap. Inside, the Clutch is fully lined and quilted to cushion your computer from drops and other accidents, and provide numerous pockets for everything from pens to documents, and of course, your iPhone. $99.99.

We reckon that ToysRus had better have a quick word with its parter Lovefilm about the DVD rental outfit's recommended viewing algorithm: Devil's Whore recommended for children down at Lovefilm We're obliged to reader Jack Lear for bringing this outrage to our attention, and have of course made our dossier available to the …
....correct me if I'm wrong, 15 year olds are still legally children. Threfore I see no wrong..
If it were my kids
I'd be wanting them kept well away from Keira Knightley as well
I thought
that the little darling always watched this type of film.
Toys R Us suck anyway tbh
Dont think i will ever buy from them if i can help it.
I'm outraged
... Toys-r-us are still trading?!? wtf??
Paris... because if I were satan, then she'd have 2 films with her name in it that kids love! ;)
I've just had it recommend Screamers 2 : The Hunting (cert 18), Kill Switch (cert 18) and The Heartbreak Kid (cert 18). This could provide hours of pointless entertainment!
Tinkerbell looks triuly shocked!
*won't someone think of the children* etc.
@Stu Reeves
I thoughts children were defined as being people who haven't yet passed puberty? 15 probably too old for that.
Apologies from LOVEFiLM
All at LOVEFiLM are sorry if this caused any offence and would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention. This has happened due to a technical error with our product information feed and we have fixed the issue as of this morning and now only children's titles will be seen on this page.
Again, apologies for any offence and we can assure you that this was not a deliberate act.
Promo Code: TRUSPLASH
What's the Japanese word for 'splash' again ?
No wonder...
poor Tinkerbell loos so shocked!
Mutant Chronicles
Good film, but not even a child could be satisfied with the lack of explanatory ending..
@Jason Norris
Don't spoil our fun, we really wanted this to be a deliberate act of subversion!
But well done for the rapid apology, anyway.
David Haworth
>> I thoughts children were defined as being people who haven't yet passed puberty? 15 probably too old for that.
I thought children were defined as those who have (or at some point have had) parents. Okay, it is typically take to mean under 18 or even under 16, but I certainly I don't remember there being a pre-pubescent requirement.
I always thought...
Tinkerbell was a bit of a kinky freak. <insert 70's porn sound track here>
None of which are so devastating
in comparision to their sixth suggestion, a mind-scarring Frida "monobrow" Kahlo biopic.
Never mind about ToysRus...
What about El Reg's new TD2YDT* tech? I refer, of course to the Bravissimo ads that have started appearing on any remotely Bulgarian AB related story. There am I working up a rightious head of steam over illicit plod HD sizeure and up at the top of the page - NORBERTS!!! - <Homer> Mmmmmm, Norberts...</Homer> Keep it up, it's the geek dreamtime, IT and large breasted ladies with their shirts off. So one hand for pizza, one for the mouse, one for the...damm!
Cheers, Steve
*T*ts Direct To Your DeskTop
well, it depends what context you're talking about. 18 or under is the legal context, but biologically, I thought there were three stages that a human could be in, infancy, childhood and adulthood. adulthood starts at puberty, therefore that's when childhood ends.
I think :)
From what I hear in America...
on the current state of parliament, perhaps "The Devils Whore" might qualify as some kind of civics curricullum for the little tykes?
Where are the women?
Following Steve's comments, its occured to me that I don't recall seeing any posts by an obviously female character on any of the El reg stories I read, or am I a little blind?
Certainly haven't seen Paris...
RE: Where are the women?
They are around - I remember being shocked and upset when they crept out on a story about Della site.
They are mostly lurkers - so like most women, even the IT breed will wait for you to hang yourself with a comment before they put the boot in! :)
Wonder where the dominatrix is these days... Sarah??
Lurking women

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- A California-based energy drink company promises to bring something "cool" to Southwest Florida. West Coast Chill claims to have the world's first self-chilling can.
The company recently opened its Florida headquarters in Cape Coral, hiring ten people for sales and promotions, according to Chief Operating Officer Mitchell Joseph. Joseph is a fifth generation in the beverage bottling business.
"My great grandfather actually bottled Dad's Rootbear and Squirt back in the fifties then my father got into the industry. We have been doing this for many many years," he said.
The company's micro-cool technology has been in research and development for 19 years. The self-chill can is on shelves now in California, and is set to hit local stores in the next few months.
West Coast Chill's standard can is already in 90 locations throughout Southwest Florida, including restaurants, fitness centers, and convenience stores.
Joseph plans to hire 40 additional employees in the next year.

State's Infant Mortality Rate Down
According to the California Department of Public Health, the state's infant mortality rate has reached a historic low of 4.7 infant deaths per 1,000 births.
The numbers are from 2010, the most recent year of data available.
Citing factors such as a decline in premature births, California ranks fourth-lowest among the states for infant mortality rate. Washington, Utah and Massachusetts all have lower rates.
According to the department, preventative measures need to be taken in order to prevent infant mortality.
"Optimal infant health outcomes are influenced by a woman's health even before she becomes pregnant, including avoiding tobacco, alcohol and drugs, maintaining a healthful weight, and taking folic acid supplements," said Dr. Ron Chapman, the state's health officer and director of the CDHP, in the release.
The country as a whole ranks 174 out of 222 in the world in terms of highest infant mortality rate with a 5.98, according CIA World Factbook 2012 estimates. Monaco and Japan have the lowest rates, at 1.80 and 2.21, respectively.
Afghanistan, Niger, Mali and Somalia have the highest rates, all over 100 deaths per 1,000 live births.
Racial and ethnic disparities in infant mortality rates continue to persist, however, according to the CDHP. African Americans continue to have 2.3 times more infant mortalities than whites, although the rate has dropped from 2009 to 2010.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

A friend is someone who can see right through you and still enjoy the show.
I love that saying, has stayed with me for years. And it is so true, because so many here are doing just that with me.
After that enlightening conversation with my sweet friend a few weeks ago....I have been doing a lot of thinking....a lot of praying....and a lot of soul searching.
I like where this is all taking me.
Today, I received this from another friend, and it so very well describes where I think I am right now. I am learning to accept myself....love myself......respect myself.
With Sparkpeople, I have learned how to eat healthy, how to exercise smart.....how to reward myself and how to forgive myself.
I have also learned the meaning of the word "EFFORT".
And I like it!
" I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend. I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so avante garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 40's, 50's, 60, 70's, 80's and 90's and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love ... I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.
They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face.
So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong.
So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become..... (and am becoming). I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be.
*** And I shall eat chocolate every single day...(if I feel like it). "
I do eat chocolate when I have the craving, SP has taught me how to compensate the calories.
I do not have a bulging body anymore.....just a slightly pudgy one.
Enjoy this day everyone, it's the only one you have.
I FINALLY got down to it.
I tried on everything I have today....(a real pain if you ask me )
and now my closet is lighter by 7 suit jackets, 15 blouses and 3 pair pants.
So guess what I'm going to be doing this next month......
