Asus Qube with Google TV
New Google TV device imminite
ASUS Qube appears at the FCC | Android Central
FFC application contains User Manual which descripe device as "Smart TV Set Top Box Dongle"
Key tem is "Set Top Box", which is name usally used for Digital TV Tuners that sit under TV usally delivered by TV network (Google finally attacking TV networks?) or IPTV devices, but i would not be supprice if it's really just Google TV, "STB" fits for such device too i rarely see this Google TV device ot be called that way... and it's "WITH Google TV" which is sound like Google TV is actually secundery function... but ok whatever it's defently Google Tv device thats for sure
But this video dungle as people think is because those facts:
-User Manual states this is 2.4GHz device, which means it's most likely WiFi or Bluetooth device or something pseudo, but those technologies are not so good for send loss-less or uncommpressed video data and considering this is for STB device i douth that someone would sucrifice qulity over one short cable
-User Manual states it's 2-way device... well this would not
-User Manual also mentions PAiring Process with "Keyboard" and "Touch Pad" which is common controls for Google TV... which favors Bluetooth here and disfavor any display connectivity
-Meantioned "Nordic" is Semiconductor company that produce 2.4GHz wireless ICs 2.4GHz RF - Products- Nordic Semiconductor which some include Flash and USB which are suitable for dongles
-Also i can see female connector on device on right top corner, which would mean or this is custom USB or dongle board is divided in to 2 parts (Wireless part and USB port part) or it's dongle for internal connection (i seen such hacks on laptops a lot)
Form those facts so my guess it's STB by default only have IR for Remote (Google TV is made to minimally being operated via d-pad which is common control on remotes now days) and this is Bluetooth dongle allows to connect optional Keyboard and Touch Pad, but it might be just yet another normal Google TV box

They very nearly had to pry Liza out of the expensive London hotel. Surrounded by mementoes of her loving but tragically deceased family, the pretty, young girl had gone from a promising future to ruin. There was no money to even pay the hotel bill, and she had to sweet-talk the harrumphing manager into giving her cash for a hansom cab to follow up her only hope for sustaining herself—a job as a lady's maid to Princess Victoria. But she could not know that very soon she and the princess would become Prisoners in the Palace.
History meets mystery in a novel about one pupil of Mozart's we have never heard of, the young Princess Victoria, whom the composer soon discovers has quite a talent for the keyboard and a knack for being a murder victim.

The tail of the tape for tonight's heavyweight bout, plus the undercard.
Santana vs. the Phillies: The left-hander has made only one career start against them. On June 23, 2002, Santana received a no-decision in the Twins 5-1 victory at Veterans Stadium. The southpaw allowed one run, two hits while walking six and striking out five over 4.2 innings. (The hits were by Todd Pratt and Scott Rolen, in case you were wondering). Of the current team, Geoff Jenkins has seen him the most and is 3-for-12 off him.
Hamels vs. the Mets: In four starts, he's 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA and 26/9 K/BB ratio. He faced them three times last season and none of the games represented his finest work. His last start against the Mets came June 29 at home, walking a season-high five and allowing three runs over five innings.
Bullpens: The Mets bullpen hasn't allowed a run in its last 13.2 innings. They're tied for the NL lead with Colorado with a 3.00 ERA. The Phillies are right behind with a 3.22 ERA.
Friday, April 18: Hamels (2-1, 0.82) vs. Santana (1-2, 3.05) 7:05 p.m.
Saturday, April 19: Perez (1-0, 3.38) vs. Moyer (1-0, 5.52), 3:55 p.m.
Sunday, April 20: Pelfrey (2-0, 1.50) vs. Eaton (0-0, 4.12), 8:05 p.m.

Defensive Highlights: Goal Line Stand, Sherels INT Return For TDPosted by on August 21, 2011 – 10:45 am
The Vikings carried a 13-point lead into the locker room at halftime on Saturday night in Seattle. And although they had outscored the Seahawks by 13 points through 2 quarters, there was no question the defense was primarily responsible for the advantage.
It was Seattle who made the game's first big play, about midway through the opening quarter. The Vikings defense had forced a second Seattle punt and CB Marcus Sherels was back to return the kick. He hauled in Jon Ryan's punt and started making his way upfield. Sherels was eventually tackled after a 16-yard return, but then the ball squirted loose and Seattle picked it up. The call on the field was that Sherels was down by contact and did not fumble, but a challenge by Seattle resulted in the ruling being overturned, which gave the Seahawks possession.
Just four plays later on a 3rd and 7 from Minnesota's 43, Seattle QB Tarvaris Jackson rifled a pass to WR Golden Tate. But Tate was unable to haul in the pass and it deflected off his fingers and up into the air. Sherels was there in coverage and grabbed the deflection. In an instant he had secured the ball and sprinting the other way, leaving no Seahawks offensive player with a chance to catch him. Sherels was too fast and he dashed 64 yards for the TD, more than making up for his fumbled punt return just moments earlier.
The second defensive highlight of the first half was just as dramatic, but it was a bit more drawn out. After Sherels INT return for a TD, Seattle began their next possession on the 27. Jackson led the Seahawks on a march downfield and had his offense with a 1st-and-goal situation from the 2.
On first down, Jackson handed off to RB Justin Forsett on a dive play up the middle, but DE David Akinniyi and DT Letroy Guion were there to stop him from going in. On second down, LB Larry Dean and DL Christian Ballard teamed up to stop Forsett for no gain and then on third down it was DE Adrian Awasom who halted Forsett short of paydirt. Seattle Head Coach Pete Carroll decided to go for it on 4th and inches from inside the 1, but great efforts by CB Chris Cook and LB Erin Henderson helped Guion make another stop and the Vikings defense had held Seattle from a TD on 4 straight plays from inside the 2.

McNabb, Vikings Offense Take Step ForwardPosted by on August 21, 2011 – 6:05 am
While winning games is always nice, teams strive for improvement during the preseason. On Saturday night in Seattle, the Vikings accomplished both objectives. Coming off a 14-3 loss to Tennessee in their preseason opener last week, the Vikings took a step forward this weekend and notched a 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.
Another outstanding effort from the entire special teams group and a solid performance from the defense anchored the Vikings effort against Seattle. But the improvement made by the Vikings first-team offense should not go unnoticed, especially considering both WR Percy Harvin and TE Visanthe Shiancoe were missing from action.
The Vikings first-team offense didn't see much of the field in the 1st quarter – they had just two minutes of possession and ran just 3 plays. But a goal line stand by the second-team defense set the stage for Donovan McNabb and Co. to hit their stride for about half the quarter.
Following the goal line stand, the Vikings first-team offense took over 1st and 10 from their own 1-yardline. Despite the fact it's a preseason game, beginning a drive on your own 1-yardline on the road with the crowd screaming for a safety is not exactly the most comfortable position. But McNabb, a 13-year NFL veteran, handled the situation with poise and guided the offense downfield.
The first play from scrimmage was a 2-yard completion to Adrian Peterson, which gave the offense a little bit more breathing room. The second play from scrimmage was another pass, and McNabb stood tall in the pocket and delivered a 17-yard completion to rookie TE Kyle Rudolph. That got the Vikings out to the 20 and it set up TE Jim Kleinsasser for a 23-yard reception on the next snap. In a matter of moments, McNabb guided the Vikings from the shadow of their own goal post to midfield.
A few Peterson carries left the Vikings with a 2nd and 10 from the Seattle 45, which is when McNabb stood in the pocket again and found WR Michael Jenkins down the left side. Jenkins positioned himself beautifully on the play, as he cut in front of the CB and made a back shoulder grab while falling to the ground. A penalty two plays later eventually stalled the drive and the Vikings settled for a FG.
Yes, the Vikings offense needs to convert those drives with TDs and it was disappointing to see a false start penalty ultimately stall the drive. But given the current circumstances – new QB, new offense, no Harvin or Shiancoe – it was good just to see the Vikings march 81 yards in 13 plays and chew up more than 7 minutes of the game clock. Additionally, we saw a great illustration of a veteran QB guiding the offense through a tough situation – backed up against your own goal line on the road.
As we said after last week's game against Tennessee, the effort by the offense tonight was acceptable and encouraging. Now, the key is to see improvement this week during practice and a step forward in next weekend's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys at Mall of America Field.

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit police say they've made an arrest in the fatal stabbing of a 31-year-old woman whose body was found near her dehydrated 8-month-old daughter.
Sgt. Michael Woody tells the Detroit Free Press that police are holding a man as a suspect. Woody declines to give more information.
The Wayne County medical examiner's office identifies the woman as Charmanek Johnson. Police say that privacy rules prevent them from revealing the baby's condition.
Authorities say the girl was in her crib when authorities found her and her mother Monday.
Police say Johnson's mother last heard from her Thursday.

A comfortable, practical minivan mainstay.
The 2014 Toyota Sienna combines available all-wheel drive and second-row captain's chairs with recliner-style footrests in one of the most comfortable and practical minivans on the market. One of only two minivans named to our list of 12 Best Family Cars for 2014, Toyota's reputation for reliability and resale value hold extra appeal in the Sienna, typically a pragmatic purchase.
Driving It
From our 2014 Toyota Sienna full review: "With its 266-horsepower V6 engine at work, the 2014 Toyota Sienna minivan is surprisingly quick on its feet. Even with the optional AWD, the Sienna accelerates briskly and never feels labored or short on power. The 6-speed automatic does a good job of finding and holding the right gears and when it does shift, the transition is nearly imperceptible."
Bring the Popcorn
The second-row lounge seating is comfy, as if you're sitting in your living room recliner. The optional entertainment system makes it feel even more like family movie night, but here siblings don't have to agree: the screen is wide enough that it can show two different movies at the same time.
From the Video
"Even the most humble Sienna comes equipped with cruise control, 3-zone climate control, an auxiliary jack and plenty of cup holders." Sit back and learn more in the 2014 Toyota Sienna video above (or here).
Another Minivan Convert
KBB.com reader MoMofTwins is one of many buyers who wasn't a minivan person, but ended up loving the Sienna: "I said I would never drive a minivan but now that I am a mom to twins I don't know how I would ever live without it! The sliding doors on both sides made getting infant carriers in and out so much easier no matter how tight the parking spot - I have no idea how twin moms do without it - what if some jerk parks too close - how do you get two infant carriers into a car when you can't open a door wide enough? Also, we do a lot of road trips (about 350 miles) and I can stow the third row and then haul all of the stuff that goes along with twins easily! Double stroller whether tandem or side by side - no problem with back row seats up or down!" Read more Toyota Sienna consumer reviews.
Build and Price
The 2014 Toyota Sienna starts at just under $28,000 and maxes out at over $50,000, the high mark for minivans in 2014. Build and price your own 2014 Toyota Sienna to unlock its Fair Purchase Price, 5-Year Cost to Own and more.
More Minivans
When do you know you've found the right minivan? Only after you've explored them all. Check out your six minivan choices for 2014.

Nancy Harris, Ph.D.Associate Professor
I was raised in Marblehead, Massachusetts, attended a variety of public and private schools, and my first stab at higher education was Boston University. I left after my freshman year and worked at a variety of rather predictable jobs: ophthalmological assistant, peace activist, democratic state committee secretary, and aid to Charlie Byrd, the jazz and classical guitarist. After protesting against the Vietnam war for 9 months I met and married, soon followed by the birth of my two wonderful, intelligent and accomplished daughters. After 10 years of volunteering I returned to college: Manhattanville. It was here that I learned how to learn and how sociology explained the world to me in ways that I could finally understand. After completing my BA at the Ville, I went to NYU and received my MA and PhD in sociology. My areas of concentration were research methods, sports and family. For the last 23 or so years I have enjoyed teaching at Manhattanville and being part of a wonderful community which is committed to gender equality and social justice.

How would you describe your personal style.
I would say my style is new age vintage with an edgy twist. I usually incorporate one vintage item in my outfit everyday and like to edge it up with some boots or accessories. I'm ridiculously into 80s/90s/00s fashion right now so there's always a vibe from that era happening.
Where are you from?
Los Angeles born and raised!
Who or where do you find style inspiration from?
A lot of vintage imagery, vintage and present models and editorials.
What's your go to piece to make a fashion statement?
I would say a beanie, shoes or some unique sunglasses.
What other creative outlets do you use besides blogging?
I own an online vintage clothing store called Penelope's Vintage which ends up being another great, creative outlet for me, from shopping for the inventory to styling the photoshoots.
What are your favorite spots around Los Angeles? Any secret spots?
My favorite spots in Los Angeles are The Dime on Fairfax, The Prince, which is also great for Korean fried chicken and kimchi fried rice, and Hemmingways.
Favorite restaurants?
I can go on for hours but I think my faves right now are Animal, Nabeeya, Roscoes Chicken and Waffles, Cactus, The Little Door, Ink, Earth Bar, and Liquid for all my health freak needs.
What's a typical day like for you as a blogger?
I usually start my day off with a boot camp class in the morning. After showering and making food I'll answer emails, work on any freelance writing projects and work on my vintage store; listing items, packing orders, getting projects going etc. Later in the day I'll shoot some photos for my blog/work on my blog and make some dinner. A lot of times my day ends with an event or two and then I come home to my boyfriend and two Boston Terriers and call it a night! It sounds easy but a lot of times I'll put in 12 hour days.
Do you have any beauty secrets?
The less makeup the better, take care of your skin and always wear sunscreen.
Favorite quote?
"Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick and pull yourself together." – Elizabeth Taylor

Jag Lever means "I live" in Swedish. What sparked your interest in their culture?
My interest began with my deep love for the Swedish musician Lykke Li. I then began to follow Swedish brands/designers such as Acne and Minimarket. Since my interest started I've also fell in love with other Swedish musicians like First Aid Kit and Miike Snow. I subconsciously am drawn to Swedish things!
How would you describe your personal style.
It changes a lot but I'd say lately it's revolved around a western/60′s/70′s vibe.
Who or where do you find style inspiration from?
I love to follow First Aid Kit's style. It's very 70′s bohemian vintage. I love it! I also find inspiration from other fashion blogs. My favorite one is misspandora.fr.
What's your go to piece to make a fashion statement?
My hats are definitely my go to piece that really transform an outfit.
What other creative outlets do you use besides blogging?
I draw! I love to draw cartoon-ish stuff in my sketchbook. They're like doodles I take very seriously. I used to paint with oils a lot when I could afford to. It's expensive!
You moved from Chicago to New York, how has the location change been so far?
Great and challenging. I love living here but it is a lot more expensive in general. But worth it!
What are you favorite spots around NYC?
I love to go thrift shopping in East Village. I love the pier in Williamsburg too. It's a great place to be when the sun sets and you can watch it happen right over Manhattan and it's beautiful!
What's a typical day like for you as a blogger?
Get up, gotta have a big breakfast (eggs, coffee, toast) and if it's a weekday I'll make my outfit post for the day. Then I'll either style a few looks to shoot, edit photos or work on e-mails for the next few hours. Then around dinner I usually take a break. I may stay up until 2 AM some nights answering e-mails (like I am right now! ) Some days I have events or showrooms to visit.
Do any of your readers ever recognize you on the street?
Yes! I had my first recognition in New York a few days ago. It was at a grocery store that I shop at all the time. I was picking out incense when she approached me and she was very excited and it was really nice! I feel so honored when people come up to me. It's very strange but amazing and it definitely makes me feel proud of where I've gotten over the years.
Do you have any beauty secrets?
Lately I've been obsessed with taking better care of my hair. The ends are pretty dry usually since I dye them lighter and I curl my hair often with heat. I've been using L'oreal Mythic Oil hair masks and the oil serum. I spread it around all of my hair and spend extra time coating the tips, roll it into a bun and let it sit for 20-ish minutes and then wash it out. It comes out really soft and smooth, almost like brand new hair! It's also important to use a heat protector before using hot tools. Otherwise… refer to "Burning off the hair" on YouTube! (It's actually a really great video.)
Tell us, do you ever get mistaken for Zooey Deschanel? If so, we'd love to do a She & Him duet with you haha !
Oh my gosh. So often that it is kind of annoying! But I love Zooey. She's quirky and adorably pretty so I think it's a compliment… but it happens a LOT. I've had the same haircut since I had hair. But I won't lie… occasionally I can be found playing She & Him on my ukulele

We aren't sure if the phrase "Let them eat cake" ever left the great Marie Antoinette's mouth. But, we're positive that if Annette Vartanian was around she would have no qualms with the queen. After all, it's her duty as a bride-to-be to indulge in sweet delicacies. Find out what other things the blogger fancies below, hint: it's related to her blog name.
Your blog name is "I Heart Vintage Couture" do you have a favorite vintage item or places to find great pieces?
I have too many favorites! I love all of the pieces handed down from my Mom (one of my style icons). I'm also obsessed with a Givenchy black lace gown I purchased from Shareen Vintage. It's so beautiful that I actually wear it around the house just to feel extra fabulous. I also love a pair of Hollywood regency crystal lamps I purchased from a vintage store several years ago. They add the right touch of glam to our mid century living room. My favorite vintage stores are Shareen Vintage for fun and beautiful dresses and Sunbeam Vintage for the home.
You're getting married! Are there any similarities to picking out a wedding dress/bridesmaid dress and styling a post?
Yes, most definitely! When styling outfits for the blog, I stay true to my style and personality since the blog is an extension of me. I focus on what I like and what works on my body type rather than what is most trendy. Shopping for a bridal dress is very similar. I wanted a bridal dress that had a vintage silhouette with modern touches and fortunately I found the perfect dress. It's very unique and screams Annette!
What's your number one piece of advice for future brides?
Go to as many cake tastings as possible!
Any beauty secrets?
Get lots of sleep and drink lots of water. To keep my hair healthy and shiny, I don't color it and I only wash it once a week.
What are your favorite reads? (This can be a magazine, novel, poetry, etc?)
I was an English Lit major in college so I'm definitely a book nerd! I definitely prefer flipping through interior design magazines as I sip on a cocktail (naturally), or curl up with a good book after a long day at work.
Do you have a favorite quote?
Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance. by Epicurus. You can have all the material goods, but if you don't enjoy life, the people around you, and everyday epiphanies, then you'll never be happy. This is definitely my motto for enjoying a productive and meaningful life.
Where would one typically find you on the weekend?
I definitely love to sleep in as late as possible and then have a decadent brunch with my fiance, Alan. We love to hobnob around town to check out new art galleries, visit our favorite vintage stores, and finish the night with a cocktail.

A petite girl with a great sense of smell and even better sense of style, Nany's Klozet is a blogger you should know about! Read below to get a feel for a few of her favorite things and idiosyncrasies.
Entering the Blogosphere: I was in my senior year in college and I got an interview with Telemundo, one of the biggest Hispanic TV networks. I started researching online and I couldn't find any blog in Spanish dedicated to sharing fashion and beauty tips. So that day I ended up opening my blog, which was fully written in Spanish at the beginning.
Style Crushin': My style crush is Miroslava Duma. She is definitely a style inspiration, she is petite like me…and her style is breahtaking. If I had to choose a favorite look I'd say this one.
Music Therapy: You would find a lot of 90′s pop music in my iPod… N'Sync, BSB, Britney, Spice Girls: they will always have a special place in my heart.
Wise Words: "Don't love what you do…DO what you LOVE" . I love this quote because it has inspired me to pursue my dream and not settling for nothing.
Favorite Reads: My favorite book is "100 Years of Solitude" and favorite magazines are People Style Watch and STYLE.
From Miami to NY and Back Again: (I'm already back in Miami) I learned that you have to work HARD and late hours to make it in the business. I learned that NYC and Miami are very different and that you have to grow thick skin in order to stay in your feet.
Weekend Destination: You will probably find me at a local park by the beach with my dog and my boyfriend.
Epicurean: One of my favorite places right now is called "Ceviche105″- it has the best Peruvian food and ceviche I have ever eaten.
Secret Scent: I actually collect perfumes; and I have a super sensitive nose. Reason why I LOVE perfumes and each one reminds me of a phase in my life. Just by smelling it, I feel like I can travel back in time. Right now I'm loving and using DKNY "Be Delicious" (the pink one).
Beauty Secret: - One. never, ever ever ever, go to sleep with your makeup on. It doesn't matter how tired you are, it only takes 2 minutes. Two, moisturizer is your skin's best friend. Three, I try to wash my hair just once a week, it sounds crazy but it's what works for me. I feel like if you wash it every day, you just wash it every other day. If you hair is very oily, by washing it you are "telling" your body to produce more and more oil.
Writing on the Wall: I'm very superstitious. For example: for me, giving shoes to someone means that you want them out of your life (shoes=walk away). So when someone I love/care gives me shoes, I have to "pay" them- even if it's just a penny.

This Texas beauty looks angelic from the outside and actually has an immune system to prove it. Read on to get to know this muse in depth, and see why she's the exception to the popular saying!
Entering the Blogosphere: An obsession of sharing pictures of my new shopping purchases and outfits sparked my interest in blogging! I would take pictures of what I was wearing (shot with my cellphone) and inspirational fashion pics I found online and post it to my Facebook page, just for fun! More and more friends started to comment and suggest that I start my own online fashion blog to store all of it. I was always a fan of the fashion blogging world but I never thought I would become a part of it. Online fashion blogs are today's go-to place for inspirational outfit ideas from everyday girls. And just like that- I become a fashion blogger.
Style Crushin': I have always had the biggest style crush on Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen. I feel like Ashley's feminine style mixed with Mary-Kate's edginess is the perfect combination that makes up my personal style. If I could raid pieces from their closet, I would grab all of their over-sized designer handbags and sunglasses…. totally chic to the max.
Music Therapy: Just like my personal style, my mood depicts the type of music genre I feel like listening to for that day. Right now on my Ipod, you'll see me listening to a variety of artists from Rihanna and Justin Timberlake to Empire of the Sun, and even The Great Gatsby soundtrack. Love it all!
Epicurean: I moved to Los Angeles from Texas in January and I'll tell ya, LA is no Texas when it comes to food BUT I've become more of a clean eater by living in this town! The Italian and sushi out here is also great! Some of my fav spots to chow down are Lemonade, Blu Jam Café, tex mex eating at Marix, and Cafe Med for Italian! Can't lie- I love Chipotle too. The list goes on…
Secret Scent: Not a crazy perfume girl. Strong perfume scents make me dizzy! I can do soft scents but for the most part you'll see lots of Victoria's Secret body sprays in my bag that are perfect for on the go!
Beauty Ritual: The beauty questions I'm asked about the most on my blog pertain to my hair! It's no secret that I love big hair (hello I'm from Texas ya'll). If you're someone who wants that natural voluminous look, get a good voluminous shampoo/conditioner, and style gel. Try not to use a flat iron at the top of your head (the crown area). Instead blow dry it straight and then tease the roots with a tease comb and flexible voluminous hair spray. After you tease, flip your hair upside down and brush lightly with a round brush. When you flip your hair back to normal, it will instantly look 80% fuller and thicker. To keep it full all day- you have to make sure you are teasing correcting (plenty of youtube videos on how to do this). Also using a separate hairspray to add extra hold if desired.
Weekend Destination: My jobs as a busy part time fashion blogger and entertainment host take up a lot of time during the week, so when I get a chance to relax, you'll probably find me in doors on the weekends kicking back with my closest pals or attending fun blogger events in LA! I've spent a lot of time learning how to balance this industry's work and also finding time to play. I think both are equally important for living a balanced and happy lifestyle!
Wise Words: My favorite quote is, " Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius.
Currently Reading: Right now on my reading desk I've got handful of my fav magazines including (just to name a few) People StyleWatch, Elle, and Redbook! Book wise- I recently started reading "God's Not Dead" by Rice Brooks and I'm hooked!
Life changing Story: In 2008, my little brother was diagnosed with Leukemia and I was his lucky bone marrow donor that helped save his life! Never in a million years do you think that you will be a vital role in helping save someone's life. The process wasn't painful, I was put to sleep for it. Him and I now have the same immune system and blood type. Sometimes we get colds at the same time…so funny. Best gift I've ever given.

Music Therapy: I love anything from the 1970′s! Summer for me always means ELO, T. Rex, and Television.
Quote to Live By: "Anything worth doing is worth doing right".
Favorite Reads: Oyster, Mirage, and Purple.
Favorite Destination Around Town: Larchmont for brunch, Melrose for shopping, or downtown in the artist district for coffee.
Epicurean: Sage in Echo Park is by far my fav — all vegan with great raw and gluten free options, and it's a small business owned by a cool chick, so you can't go wrong!
Favorite weekend activity: Definitely the Melrose Trading Post flea market! It's my favorite place to get jewelry and knick knacks for the house.

Not Big Lyrics - Lily Allen
Review The Song (2)
Now listen, I think you and me have come to the end of our time,
What'd you want? Some kind of reaction?
Well, ok, that's fine,
Alright, how would it make you feel if I said you never made me
In the year and a half that we spent together,
Yeah, I never really had much fun.
All the times that I said I was sober,
Well, I'm afraid I lied,
I'd be lying next to you, and you next to me,
All the while I was high as a kite.
I could see it in your face as you break it to me gentle,
Yeah, you really must think you're great,
Well, let's see how you feel in a couple of weeks,
When I work my way through your mates.
I never wanted it to end up this way,
You've only got yourself to blame,
I'm gonna tell the world you're rubbish in bed now
And that you're small in the game.
So you thought this was gonna be easy,
Well, you're out of luck.
Yeah, let's rewind, let's turn back time
To when you couldn't get it up.
You know what? It shoulda ended there,
That's when I shoulda shown you the door.
As if that weren't enough to deal with,
You became premature.
I'm sorry if you feel that I'm being kinda mental,
But you left me in such a state.
Now I'm gonna do to you what you did to me,
Gonna reciprocate.
You're not big, you're not clever,
No, you ain't a big breeder,
Not big whatsoever.
Ahhhhh (x2)
I'm sorry if you feel that I'm being kinda mental,
But you left me in such a state.
Now I'm gonna do to you what you did to me,
Gonna reciprocate.
You're not big, you're not clever,
No, you ain't a big breeder,
Not big whatsoever.
You're not big, you're not clever,
Not big whatsoever,
No, you ain't a big breeder. (x3)

Minnesota's two inspectors have been told by the feds to curtail annual reviews of programs that serve veterans.
A school for helicopter pilots in Superior, Wis., was ordered to stop describing itself as VA approved when it wasn't. For several years, a Christian college in Brooklyn Park took GI Bill money from students for programs it wasn't qualified to charge for. When irregularities were discovered in what courses veterans at Hennepin Technical College were taking and which ones they finished, the school was forced to review its enrollment of GI Bill students.
After a decade of war, thousands of veterans are transitioning into civilian life with one of the military's most generous benefits: tuition reimbursement. They're heavily recruited by a growing number of schools eager to tap into the full ride at public universities (or $18,000 a year for private schools) veterans get after three years of continuous service.
But as GI money flows into Minnesota schools — totaling $300 million since 2009 — fewer GI Bill programs are being monitored. In Minnesota, the state agency charged with overseeing programs that get GI Bill funding has been ordered by the federal Department of Veterans Affairs to cut back inspections by as much as 80 percent, raising concerns that many GI Bill programs can become subject to waste, fraud or abuse.
Meanwhile the number of programs approved for GI Bill funding continues to grow, jumping 30 percent in the past decade. Since 2009, more than 180 Minnesota schools have received funding.
"We were going out to the schools every year reviewing records, making sure they were certifying correctly," said Paula Plum, supervisor of the Minnesota State Approving Agency, which operates under the state Department of Veterans Affairs. "If they weren't, we had the authority to say, 'I'm going to pull your approval and you can't have VA students.' They took that away from us."
More than 200 institutions and almost 8,000 programs have been certified by the State Approving Agency in Minnesota.
Now, the agency's two inspectors — a third inspector retired and has not been replaced — have been given directives from the VA's regional office in St. Louis to limit their inspections to 40 a year, down from as many as 200. They are prohibited from visiting certain campuses.
Already-accredited schools are no longer subject to annual inspections. Previously each school was inspected annually to ensure they were in compliance.
"These schools are getting approved and they don't get nearly as much oversight as they used to," Plum said.
False advertising
Congress established State Approving Agencies in 1945 to watch over the new GI Bill for World War II vets. While they monitored a federal program, they were state employees. The belief at the time was that states, not the federal government, should be responsible for education.
But in 2010, the federal VA quietly shifted the agencies' authority to do inspections and required them to do financial audits previously performed by federal auditors. The number of inspections fell by about 50 percent nationwide.
"The end result is less oversight and fewer problems being discovered," said Skip Gephart, legislative committee chairman of the National Association of State Approving Agencies, which is trying to convince Congress to restore oversight. "Our time is being used inappropriately and probably ineffectively."
The new rules quickly changed how thoroughly schools are monitored, even ones that have had problems in the past. A review of seven years of disciplinary files from the Minnesota approving agency, obtained through the state's data practices act, provides evidence of infractions previously uncovered.
In September of 2010, Lake Superior Helicopters of Superior, Wis., was ordered to stop describing its helicopter pilot certification program as "VA approved" and "the only helicopter training approved in Minnesota." Neither was true.
Despite the admonition, the school continues to market itself as VA approved and to accept student veterans, even though it is not approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs and, in fact, has never even applied for approval.
Its homepage promotes up to 100 percent financing for flight training through GI Bill and VA benefits. Elsewhere on its website, the school does inform perspective students that it is not actually approved on its own for GI Bill funding and that it has a long-standing partnership with nearby Lake Superior College, which is VA approved.
Eric Monson, a manager at Lake Superior Helicopters, said the school has worked hard to coordinate its program with the college and to ensure that the GI Bill payments it receives comply with federal regulations. Monson said that when the infraction occurred, the company was new to seeking VA students and thought it was in compliance.

Makes 4 servings
active time
10 minutes
total time
10 minutes
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Two 2- to 2 1/2-pound bunches broccoli rabe, leaves and woody stems removed
- 1/3 cup dry sherry or white wine
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
In extra-large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add pine nuts and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just barely golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add broccoli rabe, sherry, and golden raisins and cover pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli rabe is tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with kosher or coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.
: Pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts can be substituted for the pine nuts.
Trimming the broccoli rabe can be time-consuming if you carefully peel each stalk. If you're pressed for time, be merciless and slice off the entire bottoms of the stems and most of the tough leaves. You'll waste a bit of greenery but save an enormous amount of labor.

Next Ubuntu LTS in 2010, unless Linuxes synchronize
"Sure there's a distro," Doc Torvalds replied. "Distro-22. the only good open and dynamic o/s is a constrained and restricted one"
There was only one distro and that was Distro-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Shuttleworth was crazy and so he can't make a new release. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to make another LTS. Shuttleworth would be crazy to release another LTS and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to release them. If he released them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Userrian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Distro-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some distro that Distro-22," he observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Torvalds agreed.

whats your take on GE at these levels in terms of a future holding, Im thinking of parking 5k there as it beats a bank cd for now and in the future theyre a big green play i see it being the stock of the future id like your input. Also what do you think of PG at these levels im worried people may move to generic brand goods to save moneyReplyDelete
- Dividend Growth InvestorJune 29, 2008 at 11:02 AM
I think that GE and PG are both great companies to own for the long term. But if I were to start investing in dividend stocks ( or just individual stocks), i would try to find at least 30 stocks which fit some criteria and buy them.
Thanks for stopping by!

Bradenton Marauders 2012 Season Recap: Top Prospects

The Bradenton Marauders Offense – Is it the park or the players?
As we head into the final week of minor league baseball, the Bradenton Marauders hitters are comfortably leading the Florida State League in both batting average and OPS. They are also leading the league in runs scored and 3rd in homers. What I'm wondering though is if McKechnie Field is assisting in this offensive outburst or if the Marauders just have a great group of talented hitters.
Stolen Bases Hurt Power; Alvarez Continues Rehab
Sunday's action in the Pirates' minor league organization began with an afternoon game in Charleston. The GCL Pirates have the day off.
Greensboro Grasshoppers 10, West Virginia Power 2
[ box ]
Three late-inning rallies gave the Grasshoppers the advantage over the Power this afternoon. Power starter Colton Cain pitched 4 innings and allowed 3 runs on 4 hits and a walk. The first 'Hoppers' run came in the 1st inning, on a double and an RBI single. Cain allowed only one base runner over the next two innings (hit batter), then gave up a 2-run homer in the 4th, to give Greensboro a 3-0 lead. Cain and C Kawika Emsley-Pai had two bases stolen against them in the 1st inning (one runner, two bases), and a double steal in the 4th. Kevin Decker replaced Cain to begin the 5th, and retired the side in order. In the 6th, Decker gave up 2 runs on a single, a walk, a sacrifice fly, and an RBI single. There were three stolen bases in that inning. Decker was still pitching in the 7th, when 3 more runs scored. Three more stolen bases contributed to the scoring, which also included two walks, a sacrifice fly, an RBI double and an RBI single. The Grasshoppers had an 8-0 lead.
The Power batters went down in order in the first two innings, and had only 3 base runners over the first 6 innings. Emsley-Pai led off the 3rd with a single lined into left field, but he was thrown out trying to steal second base. 1B Chase Lyles singled in the 5th and was left on base. SS Kevin Mort singled to open the 6th, and was erased in a double play. 2B Andy Vasquez singled to lead off the 7th, and he was also out in a double play, when CF Mel Rojas lined out to first and Vasquez was easily doubled off. Finally, after that double play, three consecutive hits pushed the first Power run across the plate. DH Cole White and Lyles hit back-to-back singles, and LF Rogelios Noris drove in White with a line drive double into left.
Justin Ennis pitched the 8th inning, and gave the 'Hoppers another 2-run homer, following a single. The Power got one of the runs back in the 8th. With two outs, Vasquez was hit by a pitch, and Rojas walked. White lined a single into center field, and Vasquez came around from second to score. Jason Townsend pitched a scoreless top of the 9th, and the Power also went down in order in the bottom of the 9th.
Curve All-Stars Named; Alvarez Homers
Five Curve players have been named to the Eastern League /Western Division All-Star team. RHP Aaron Pribanic, LHP Jeff Locke, 2B Brock Holt, 3B Jeremy Farrell, and OF Starling Marte. Also, because the Curve won the Western Division last year, the Curve coaching staff will be coaching the division's team : manager PJ Forbes, pitching coach Wally Whitehurst, hitting coach Brandon Moore, and trainer Mike Zaino. The game will be played on Wednesday July 13th at Manchester, NH (home of the Fisher Cats).
Friday's action for the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates …. the GCL Pirates' game was postponed.
Bradenton Marauders 3, Palm Beach Cardinals 2
[ box ]
Rehabbing 3B Pedro Alvarez provided the firepower, while Brandon Cumpton earned his first win with the Marauders tonight. The plan was for Joe Beimel, also on a rehab assignment, to pitch for one inning to begin the game. Beimel retired the Cardinals in order in the top of the 1st, with two strikeouts and a fly out. He then gave way to Cumpton, who pitched 6 scoreless innings, scattering 4 hits and 2 walks. Cumpton had two runners on base in only one inning, the 3rd, when two singles and a wild pitch put both runners into scoring position. Cumpton struck out the next batter to escape the jam.
The Marauders put two runners on base in the 1st when both RF Robbie Grossman and Alvarez walked, then again put two on in the 2nd, on a single by DH Adalberto Santos and a walk to C Jairo Marquez. 2B Jarek Cunningham also singled in the 3rd, but none of those runners could make it around to score. All of the Marauders' runs came in the bottom of the 5th. Marquez led off with a double lined into center field. SS Benji Gonzalez dropped down a sacrifice bunt to move Marquez to third base. Cunningham doubled into left field, and Marquez scored easily from third. Then Alvarez blasted a 2-run homer over the left field wall to give the Marauders a 3-0 lead.
Cumpton came back out to begin the top of the 8th. He faced only two batters, though, giving up a single and a 2-run homer to bring the Cardinals within one run, 3-2. Cumpton was relieved by Duke Welker, who ended the 8th with three ground outs.
The Marauders would have liked an insurance run or two, but had only a walk by Grossman in the 7th, then a single by Cunningham and Santos reaching on catcher interference in the 8th. It turned out to not matter, as Welker pitched a scoreless 9th to seal the win and earn his second save of the season.

text: According to VegasSeven.com, Tupac's last words before he eventually died after being shot in Vegas were 'F*ck you'. Whoa. Chris Carroll, a sergeant on the Las Vegas Metro Police Department's bike patrol unit was the first cop on the scene after the shooting and the man who Tupac's 'F*ck you' was apparently directed at. Carroll says that he opened the car door after Pac was shot and got him on the ground, his gold chains covered in blood, and kept asking him 'Who shot you? What happened? Who did it?' trying to get a dying declaration from him. After basically ignoring Carroll's attempts to get an answer, Tupac's demeanor changed went from struggling to almost peaceful according to Carroll's accounts in the VegasSeven.com story…..that's when he told Chris, 'F*ck you'. Carroll says that Tupac was gurgling and going in and out of consciousness until the ambulance arrived. After that…he was eventually in a coma and taken off life support. The entire story is at VegasSeven.com,

Pelicans, Wizards to play in Jacksonville
Updated On: Jul 21 2014 12:59:59 PM EDT
For the second consecutive year, Jacksonville will play host to the NBA, Mayor Alvin Brown announced Monday.
The New Orleans Pelicans and the Washington Wizards will take the court inside Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena for a preseason game on Oct. 8.
"We're honored to welcome the NBA back to Jacksonville," Brown said. "This game continues our great partnership with the NBA, and it's another opportunity to showcase Jacksonville as a go-to place for sports."
Last year, the Orlando Magic hosted the New Orleans Pelicans in front of a crowd of over 8,000.
The Pelicans and Wizards represent two young NBA franchises on the rise, with the Wizards winning its first playoff series in over a decade this past season. Each team features a young star coming off of his first All-Star Game appearance -- Anthony Davis of the Pelicans and John Wall of the Wizards. Both men played college basketball at the University of Kentucky.
Former Florida Gator and Jacksonville native Patric Young also signed a two-year contract with the Pelicans over the weekend.
The game will serve as the pinnacle of a two-day celebration of basketball and sports, including NBA Legends participating in events throughout the community.
Brown also announced a partnership with the United Service Organizations to provide tickets to service members. Military members will be able to get discounted tickets through the USO offices at Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport leading up to the game.
Game day will feature a pregame NBA Fan Fest on the plaza outside of the arena with interactive displays, games and music.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. Prices start at $15 and are available at the arena box office, ticketmaster.com or by calling 904-630-3900.

We know what youre thinking: assistant, assholes and blow. Shes the stuff of urban legend, with plenty of mythical stories on coke, tranquilizers and something about chronic fatigue syndrome, but it all goes hand in hand with the equally mythical success of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks comprehensive solo career that spans over four decades. Alright, fine, so Nicks isnt coming to the OC Pavilion in downtown Santa Ana. But with the news of an anticipated forthcoming tour (with a stop in Anaheim!), you can get your Nicks fix in the meantime with Bella Donnas acclaimed (and supposedly stunning) recreation. Hey, its a lot cheaper, and she probably hasnt been as coked up as Nicks once was (who claims to have spent millions on the drug), but whether or not thats a good thing is up to you.

Pellet stoves heating up as oil prices rise
With oil prices on the rise, wood pellets are selling well in New Hampshire. (NANCY BEAN FOSTER/Union Leader Correspondent)
Chris Smith, manager of Abundant Life Stoves in Chichester, said that wood pellet stoves are extremely popular because they're easy to operate, produce a steady heat, and unlike traditional wood stoves, only need to be filled once a day.
"They're still extremely popular, especially with the cost of oil going up," said Smith.
John Fortunato, of Stove Keepers in Brookline, said that when the prices of fossil fuels drop, sales in pellet stoves drop, but in years where home heating oil costs skyrocket, pellets once again find their way into people's homes.
Charles Niebling, manager of New England Wood Pellet in Jaffrey, said that people are also motivated to buy pellet stoves this winter because the economy is improving.
"Coming out of the recession, consumers are feeling more comfortable about making investments in their homes that can save them money," said Niebling. "When the economy was bad, people couldn't afford to make capital changes that would save them money."
Niebling also said weather is a factor.
"We're actually having a real winter this year, unlike 2012, which was the warmest year in recorded history," said Niebling.
Advanced designs
There have been a lot of improvements to the technology behind pellet stoves, Fortunato said, though it's the simple process of an auger feeding fuel to the flame that makes pellet stoves efficient.
"The changes we've seen over the years tend to be geared toward safety," he said. "The guts of the pellet stoves have remained the same, but there are enhanced safety features and less maintenance in the newer stoves."
And while it's common to have a pellet stove in a living room or a kitchen, people are now buying pellet-fed water heaters and furnaces that can warm the entire home. The only drawback of pellets versus oil or gas is that homeowners have to manually feed pellets into the stoves and furnaces.
"The industry is working on developing technology to deliver the pellets into the stove without as much involvement from the homeowner, but right now, you have to be an active part of the process to heat your home with pellets," said Fortunato. "Unlike oil or gas, you have to touch this fuel."
Tax credits
At Fireplace Village in Bedford, President Ken Naylor said that interest in pellets and wood stoves has increased since the start of the year, when a biomass tax credit went into effect that gives homeowners tax breaks for buying the stoves.
"We are still seeing a lot of interest in pellet products, but we have also seen a big increase in wood sales as well," said Naylor. "With the biomass tax credit being reinstated, we hope there will be even more interest in 2013."
According to Smith, the folks who purchase wood and pellet stoves will receive up to a $300 federal tax credit.
"The tax credit is a bonus, but it's still cheaper to heat with pellets than it is with oil, even without the credit," Smith said.
Cost savings
Pellets currently cost about half of what oil costs to produce the same heat, and 40 percent of what it costs to heat with propane, Fortunato said.
According to the New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning, the average price for heating oil is $3.873 per gallon; propane is $3.261 per gallon. Pellets are currently running around $245.80 for a delivered ton, or $4.91 per bag. And one bag of pellets equals 3.75 gallons of propane or 2.5 gallons of oil.
"No matter how you look at it, pellets are cheaper," Fortunato said.
