Apple iPhone 4S – Siri feature
Generally, when a new successive device is revealed to world, our innate inclination is to drool over its new hardware or design, but with the recent availability of the iPhone 4S, our attention is placed somewhere else that's totally unexpected. Siri, Apple's digital voice assistant service, really managed to pique our interest in our review of the iPhone 4S – mainly because of its awareness in intelligently offering assistance. Grazing lightly on the features of Siri in our review of the iPhone 4S, let's take a closer in-depth look and see what all the fuss is about surrounding our newfound friend.
Siri, where have you been all my life?
It's not like that voice recognition services are a new thing in the smartphone world, but we haven't been exposed to something of this magnitude before. Of course, Android has employed one of the better voice recognition services in recent memory, and it's deeply ingrained throughout the platform, however, Siri goes beyond the normal scope of things as it attempts to be more human with its interaction. For starters, we love how Siri doesn't require us to remember key phrases or words to do what we want it to do. And in all honesty, it's fairly accurate enough in comprehending what we're saying – though, it's still not yet 100% perfect with its interpretation.
Reminding us about those futuristic computer systems in movies that are able to interact with people in full fidelity, Siri is already developing into something that's self-aware – while other services are more static and unilateral with their approach. From being able to know what we're trying to say and following through on our commands, Siri is on a whole level on its own as it's able to provide us with relevant results and actions that are pertinent to the topic at hand. Naturally, we're already dreaming about the possibilities of how Siri will develop over time, but in the meantime, it's undeniably one of the most inventive things to come at us in a long time.
So what can it do?
Literally, Siri can do just about anything your little mind can think of, but in terms of its most common features, you can do things like placing a phone call, playing a specific song/album, composing text messages, set up an appointment, set up a reminder, get directions, composing an email, get the current weather conditions, look up specific stock quotes, set an alarm, retrieve contact information, find your friends, compose notes, search the web, and ask general questions.
Showing off its "smart" awareness of what we're trying to ask it, Siri is intelligent enough to retrieve information when we say things like, "what's the weather like tomorrow in New York City?" Breaking it down, Siri is conscious enough to know what we're talking about, and provides us the exact information we need to know. Additionally, we adore the focus of having a hands-free experience on the iPhone 4S seeing that Siri is able read and compose text messages. Sure there are some accuracy issues with it understanding our voice, but for the majority of things, we're content by its tangible operations.
Siri is intelligent enough to retrieve information when we say things like, "what's the weather like tomorrow in New York City?"
Yet, another cool thing we like about Siri is how it incorporates its location-based features with the Reminders application with iOS 5. For example, we can say something like, "Siri, remind me to call my wife when I leave home after 5:00 PM tomorrow." Siri is fully aware where we live, and upon the specific time of 5:00 PM the next day, we're greeted with the reminder that we created. However, it's not always spot-on in precisely knowing when we leave home – though, the iPhone 4S recommends connecting to a Wi-Fi network for better accuracy. Nevertheless, we're impressed by Siri's ability to notify us correctly about our reminders for most occasions.
Lastly, Siri licenses an answer-engine that's developed by Wolfram Alpha, to provide us with some tangible and relevant answers to our generic, and sometimes wacky questions. To tell you the truth, we're enamored by the detailed and lengthy statistical information that we're presented with when we ask Siri things like, "how many calories are there in a pizza?" Furthermore, when we ask for some demographical information, like "what's the crime rate in San Francisco," we're given some of the most copious details about it – even breaking things down to the types of crimes most committed. Finally, Siri is smart enough to relinquish our leash on using use those pesky tip calculators or conversion tools because Siri's infinite wisdom, is able to perform calculations like tip percentages and conversions.
What's the bad in it all – not much
Well, besides that it's not always one-hundred percent guaranteed to comprehend what we're saying, the only limitation that we see for right now is that it requires a constant data connection – as opposed to having some of its functions accessible locally. Sometimes, we find ourselves waiting a little bit of time for Siri to come up with an answer or execute a command. Still, it's not bad at all, well, that's unless the network is completely down for some odd reason.
When Palm first announced webOS and the possibilities of Synergy, we believed at the time that it would become that personal assistant that would be smart enough to know we're running late for a meeting at work, and actually send messages to those attending the meeting that we'd be late. Obviously, things haven't panned out as according to plan with Palm, but in all honesty, Siri is exactly what we envisioned Synergy to be back then. Siri is smart, aware, fun, and even humorous at times with its responses, but taking into account what it's able to do right now, it's by far the best things to alter the way we interact with our smartphones. To put it lightly, Siri is passionately one inventive new feature that we see doing some magical things as it develops more down the road. In asking Siri "why are you so awesome," we're simply given the response of, "I am what I am." Seriously, it goes to show how nonchalant Siri really is.

Indeed, Apple is the leader in innovation.
10. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
They can but they are certainly not the leader. Wait for flexible amoleds, quad cores, waterproof tablets. lol

Siri is a very AWESOME feature by Apple. It can literally replace a lot of things, except sex and women of course ;)
4. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 636; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
It's not innovation, it's just having a lot of money for buying decades of progress in research for something that was innovative also decades ago in science fiction.
Everything Apple "innovates" is allways predictable - it only takes guts to do it. And lots of money.
However, I'm terrified of the future controlled by Apple. We will all think it made our lives easier - but we will finally literally communicate with machines (that only emulate conciousness), not with humans. Machines will not adapt to humans, the humans will adapt to machines. But they will be designed to give us illusion that they are adapted to us. Perfect symbiosis.
If anyone in history was inhuman, it was Steve Jobs and Apple.

People said the same thing about IBM, then Microsoft, now Google. It just depends on who has market share. Doe you really think Apple will control the future through the iPhone or iPad?? Really? You need to get out more.
15. burtonsnow8 (Posts: 41; Member since: 05 Apr 2010)
Yes I do think they are trying very hard:

17. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 636; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
They are already controlling the future. Future as the perspective, as a cultorological vision - is now unimaginable without Apple. Apple is expected to be the sheperd of the herd, it has a sort of subscription to technological "innovations" - everyone will stand and wait till Apple innovate something again, despite the fact that technology itself is already available. That's the real future in culturological sense, and Apple is now leading it. The "real" future can be something completely new, but the "real" future doesn't even exists - only future as "seeing things from now" exists.
Apple controls technological, aesthetical and now even political paradigm - as late capitalism succesfully substituted religion and politics with technology and aesthetics. Everything else instead of Apple paradigm is not imaginable - even those who oppose Apple are in fact inside its paradigm.
And yes, even with iPhone and iPad - they are symbols of our culture, the very essence of our lifestyle, the future we would like to have, the future in which we are now. Their function is far more dangerous than just being a phone and tablet - they physically represent unifying technological ecosystem on which masses are becoming more and more dependent.
When Apple introduce, and, of course, "reinvent" television, it will be only a final proof that Apple is controlling our lives with alibi of "making our lives easier, prettier and more functional" - everything in our lives will be set to virtual world of tweeting in empty air of social newtorks, finding locations of our friends without actually have to see them, and finally talking to our devices - the center of all will be Apple iTV, which will be used for renting/buying movies, music, games, books, newspapers, magazines, browsing the Internet, talking to our friends with picture and sound (just like in SF movies) - who also have their Apple TV at home... all unified in one Apple account with beautiful UI experience (which became the most important thing, form before actual content) which offers everything you "need", and you are not cool without it. And you will have no reason not to join the party - because everything and everyone will be there.
So, don't think it's just another innocent technology. All technological icons in history just wanted to become rich, but only Steve Jobs didn't care about the money. He only wanted to have unlimited power over the world, and boy he gained it.

Something tells me that voice interaction may be the next area for ompetition between Android and iOS. I wonder who will be filing suit for patent infringement first?

We must be using a different version of Siri, mine doesn't do 1/2 those things. Most of the time it just says " I'm sorry I cannot ....."
It can make appointments and set an alarm, thats about it.

16. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
in the uk you dont get any location based features or any map navigation etc...once siri is integrated with 3rd party apps then it will be awesome right now it makes somethings faster such as setting reminders and alarms.
18. Ivan6479 (Posts: 244; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Who cares where the guy/girl lives? The problem here is that here is an iPhone user first hand telling you his phone doesn't have all of the functionality that they claim it does and you seem to be in denial. I also noticed in the video that at about 3:20 the phone thinks John V. said "You can be raining in San Fransisco tomorrow" when he actually asked "Is it going to be raining in San Fransisco tomorrow?" . That sounds like some real promising software especially when it ends up making these kind of mistakes with a text message. Lol iTards

Siri is great and the iphone 4s is the best phone out hands down!
8. nimo (Posts: 72; Member since: 11 Jun 2010)
spank my ass harder apple, spank it !
11. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Even Apple won't advertise it as the best phone. It's the best iPhone.
There is no "best" phone.
12. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
If you ask Siri which phone is best it will say the one you're holding
14. burtonsnow8 (Posts: 41; Member since: 05 Apr 2010)
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and Stanford Research Institution bring you SIRI, tracking your every move!!

**Disclaimer...This post is for my family. You may want to skip it...
Every year my mom asks me to make a list of what I want for Christmas and she shares this list with everyone in my family. I normally like to make a fun list with all the pictures and email it..or I've even been known to make a powerpoint. But this year, I am going to blog. I figure the people my list would normally go to read this, so it will suffice. Plus, its only natural to expect the unexpected when your dealing with Katie. :)
So, {drum roll please} Introducing:
Christmas List 2010
Click on the picture and it will take you to the website. Please note, these are in no particular order.
Gourmet Collection- Saute Pan Set- 2 Pack
MAC Eyeliner- Engraved
Gold Fossil Watch

It was way harder than I thought to find these items. I found a million and one things I want to get for my family, but I really had to scrounge to find stuff for me. I'm a hard girl to shop for because usually if I want something, I just go get it. I'm a little impatient that way.
Mom, I will try real hard not to change my mind OR go buy anything on my list myself. But, to be on the safe side....check back for updates. :)

Apologies for the delay in submission: I've been experimenting with new digital styles from my photography and it has taken me a couple of days to achieve results which are presentable. However, each of the forthcoming images was at least started on the right date even if it took a while to finish them.
There's no print option as my re-sampling isn't producing perfect squares. Until I can rectify this I won't offer prints as the angles and points don't quite align all along the matrix. Transforming would probably help fix that issue but I'm more interested in continuing the creative process than fine-tuning at this point.
The title comes from the average tonal value of the piece, and will continue throughout this series of works that investigate angles and stratification.
Heh, thank-you for that; I'm glad you do. I'm enjoying the freedom of making them, it's nice to have something other than photography to play around with. I still need to work out how to perfect it so that I can make print-quality examples but that's something to do later. Probably much later.
Heh, well done. Do you have your inbox sorted by artist or date? If it's the former they might not have been showing at first as it's rather buggy.

About Storytime Share
The purpose of this site is to offer and to exchange ideas regarding storytimes that ARTICULATE early literacy information to adults. You can search, or browse by category or date.
Click Submit an Idea tab to submit your ideas and/or documents of handouts and/or whole storytime plans.
The purpose of this website is not to give instruction on the overall planning of storytimes. There are many resources for that. This website offers example of ways you can insert early literacy information for parents and caregivers into your storytimes. You can help them see how what you do and what they do or can do at home helps them to support their children's early literacy development in enjoyable ways.
In any one storytime it is recommended that you concentrate on highlighting only one early literacy skill or component so as not to overwhelm the participants. We highlight the skill by giving three early literacy "asides" or tips directed to the adults, each about 30 – 45 seconds long. One model to follow is to have the three asides have different purposes, but all support the early literacy skill you have decided to highlight for that storytime. The first aside is the Explain Aside, the second is the Example Aside, and the last is the Empower Aside. See the following for explanations.
1. Explain Aside: At the beginning of your storytime, a bit of information concerning the early literacy skill that is being highlighted. For some examples, click on Explain Aside.
2. Example Aside: During the course of the storytime, point out something you are doing that relates to the skill you have chosen.
3. Empower Aside: At or near the end of the storytime, give an idea of something to do or repeat at home or at the child care center to relate it to the highlighted skill.
Each aside should be an "effective early literacy aside." An effective aside gives a research-based reason for why or how an activity (repeating a phrase, asking open-ended questions) or practice (sing, talk, read, write, play) supports an early literacy component (phonological awareness, print conventions/awareness, letter knowledge, vocabulary, background knowledge—with or without use of the terms) or reading skill (decoding—recognizing words and relating letters and sounds to formulate words or comprehension).
Based on the second edition of Every Child Ready to Read® from the American Library Association, the early literacy components are
Phonological Awareness: the ability to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words
Print Conventions/Awareness: knowing that print has meaning, how to handle a book, direction of print, environmental print
Letter Knowledge: knowing that the same letter can look different, that letters have names and represent sounds
Vocabulary: knowing the meanings of words
Background Knowledge–Content: what a child knows before entering school about various topics/subjects
Background Knowledge–Conceptual Thinking: what a child knows before entering school about concepts (size, shape, opposites, spatial relationships, etc.) and about thinking skills (making observations, hypothesizing, problem solving)
Background Knowledge–Book/Story Knowledge–Print Motivation: a child's interest in and enjoyment of books and reading
Background Knowledge–Book/Story Knowledge–Narrative Skills: expressive part of language, ability to describe things, to recount events, to tell and retell stories
Early Literacy is what children know about communication, language (verbal and nonverbal), reading, and writing before they can actually read and write. Early literacy encompasses all of a child's experiences with conversation, stories (oral and written), books, and print.

Rennaissance Recipes for the Contemporary Cook
By Francine Segan
Shakespeare is a fundamental part of our American culture and we Americans have long had a fascination with his life and works. We quote him daily often without knowing it. "By the book," "the be all and end all," "seen better days," "for goodness sake," "budge an inch," and "eaten me out of house and home" are all Shakespeare's words. His plays are produced more than those of any other writer in history. Hollywood has created hundreds of movies inspired by him and countless theaters across America bring Shakespeare's plays to the stage each year.
America shares a culinary history with many nations, but foremost is England. The Pilgrims who arrived at Plymouth Rock were Shakespeare's contemporaries and they brought with them their cookbooks from England. In those early years there was no time for culinary innovation so settlers adapted the recipes as best they could to the indigenous foods found in their new world.
It is from the English that we inherit much of what we now think of as "American" food. Apple pie, stuffed turkey, and even gingerbread houses all originate from England. The roots of American cooking are to be found in Shakespeare's England. It is impossible to turn back the clock and prepare dishes precisely as they were in the 16th and 17th century. Spices, meat, fish, and vegetables have altered over the years with improved cultivation and scientific intervention. Cooking techniques have also changed considerably since Shakespeare's time. We no longer boil in cauldrons suspended from cranes over a hearth or bake in iron boxes and brick ovens. However, it is possible to achieve a fairly close approximation of the foods eaten 400 years ago by taking Shakespeare's advice to "piece out our imperfections with your thoughts" (King Henry V).
The cookbooks published during the late 1500s and early 1600s provide a fascinating window into Shakespeare's world. They show not only how people cooked and ate, but also how they wrote and organized their thoughts. For example, Elizabethan recipes were written as running text and did not include the details we are used to seeing in modern cookbooks, such as recipe titles and ingredient lists. Similarly, Shakespeare's plays were also originally written and published without the numbered acts and scenes we are so accustomed to today.
In those days, cookbook authors assumed that the chef knew the proper proportions of ingredients, so quantities were rarely specified. "As your eye shall advise you" or "as your cook's mouth shall serve him" was as specific as they got. When quantities were mentioned it was with colorful and sometimes vague references such as, "four penny worth of Saffron," "little cakes as broad as a shilling," and "cut as thick as a half crown piece."
There were no cooking thermometers for measurements more precise than "beware you burn it not" and "sufficiently bak't." Clocks and timepieces, expensive in Shakespeare's day, were rarely found in kitchens so that cooking times were either not expressed or given in other terms such as "you will know it is cooked when it sticks to the spoon" or as an Italian cookbook of the period notes, "cook for no more than two Our Fathers."
Shakespeare's Kitchen
, the original text is included for many recipes with spelling, grammar, syntax, and punctuation left intact. Spelling was not yet standardized in Shakespeare's day so you may find the same word spelled different ways even within the same recipe. Pie may be "pye," flour "flower," and raisins anything from, " "raysons" to "raisyns."
Some instructions sound amusing to our modern ears, for example, "Thrust your Knife into the flesh of your Legge down as deep, as your finger is long."
Charming phrases in these old recipes include:
"Brush off the golde with the foot of an hare or conie." Gold was commonly used in cooking and a rabbit's foot often served as a basting brush.
"Eggs in Moon Shine." Moonshine was a fanciful term for the white sauce in this dish and had nothing to do with liquor, home-brewed or otherwise.
"Put in a little piece of butter as much as a walnut," "as much white salt as will into an Egshell," "make the balls as big as nutmeg or musket bullet," or as "big as a tennis ball" are all terms used by the Elizabethans to describe quantities by reference to familiar objects.
Although I have taken recipes from many different 16th and 17th Century cookbooks, I do have a few favorite authors. I borrowed heavily from Robert May's, The Accomplish't Cook, in part because his is by far the largest cookbook of the era with 1,300 recipes, but also because he is clearly a cook's cook, a professional chef, unlike other authors, who were writers first and cookbook writers only second. Robert May was a professional full-time chef to the nobility who began his cooking apprenticeship at age 12 with his father, also a career chef.
Robert May wrote his first and only cookbook in 1660 at age 70. His recipes span several decades of culinary history, back to Shakespeare's day and even to the Middle Ages style of dining and food preparation. Robert May speaks lovingly of the by-gone era of elaborate preparations for noblemen's special feasts "before good House-keeping had left England."
Most chapters in
Shakespeare's Kitchen
showcase a particular Elizabethan cookbook writer. In the Basics Chapter, you will meet cookbook author, poet, and inventor, Sir Hugh Platt who was knighted by King James I for his innovations in agriculture.

Fantastic product
I LOVE this product. It is so easy to use and I couldn't enjoy my latte more without the expense of having to go to a coffee shop. I get my perfect latte at home. I highly recommend this product especially over the battery operated ones which I also tried.I recommend this product.
The Ultimate Milk Frother
This is rechargeable so you never have to worry about batteries or destroying the environment due to disposing of batteries. The charge lasts for months. It's so easy to use and the milk gets perfectly frothy within seconds. I've been searching for something like this for months and I've finally found it and am totally pleased.
5 stars! :)I recommend this product.
great product and great customer service
This frother really delivers the foam. It's so strong when properly charged I bet it can even whip cream. Thanks cooking.com!I recommend this product.

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5 stars, based on 13 ratings
100% of reviewers recommend this product
100% say this is a "good value"
Lots of foaming milk for my Cappuccino.
I really missed a good foam that would last the entire drink with my Cappuccino after my battery operated whisker tip broke off. So, I bought his rechargeable model and it works great. I was a bit upset to learn that after I charge the unit, I must unplug the charger after a full charge or it will destroy the units battery. the only safe way to store the unit is in its base and unplugging it after each charge is a real hassle. the manual says not to lay on ts side to prevent damage to the the whisker. Storing it in its base is more practical but you have to unplug it.I recommend this product.

Excellent product and value
Have had this frother for about a month and we are really happy with it. Our old frother fell and broke the first week we had it. This frother is much more sturdy and whips the milk in our coffee tremendously well. I would highly recommend this product.I recommend this product.

Left Alone with my Thoughts
by cognitivelycomplex
Tonight was lonely.
The lady took an overnight shift for work, leaving me around 9:00 PM for the sterile hallways of the retirement community she inhabits for 40 hours a week. She takes the shifts from time to time to get a little extra cash in her pocket to pay for school. I'm proud of her.
But I miss her because my bed is a cold, lonely place without her.
As I typed that, a part of me rejected the notion that I'm dependent on a woman. It's like a man's man beat the stereotype right into my mind. All men are islands, we don't need anyone to be self-sufficient.
Sure, we can live ours lives with food, shelter, and the NFL. We can go through life grunting with other men, calling each other pussies at every instance a woman's voice enters our lives, and act like assholes until every person in our life hates us. We can do all of that while still staying alive.
But why would we? If saying that I'm lonely and miss the one person I love is a sign of weakness, slap a label on me and call me weak then.

Why was Jesus born as baby and not made as a 30 year old man?
The reason that Jesus was born as a baby and not made as a mature 30-year-old man is that in order for him to be the Messiah and fulfill prophecy, he needed to be born under the law as Galatians 4:4 states he was. Part of the requirement of the law was to be circumcised on the eighth day after being born. He could not do that if he was made at 30 years of age. Also, if he were not born, then Jesus would not be both divine and human because there would not be a true incarnation of the Word, which was God (John 1:1) and was made flesh (John 1:14) in the one person of Jesus. Also, if he were "made 30 years old," then he would not really be 30 years old. He would only appear to be 30 years of age. This is important because in order for a priest to be eligible for his priestly work, he had to be 30 years of age (Num. 4:3). So Jesus needed to be born under the law, be circumcised, be in subjection to his parents, and grow to the age of 30 before he was eligible to become the high priest after the order of Melchizedek and perform the atoning work.

Two Major Stylists' West Hollywood Homes
Emily Current and Meritt Elliott aren't just business partners, best friends, and style soul matesthey're also neighbors. The designing duo invites us over for a peek inside their West Hollywood homes.
By Justine Harman
Chez Emily
Current also insists that they're both "allergic to that 'fierce' fashion thing," which may be why their compatibility is so convincing. Or maybe they've just been through a lot together. In 2009, Elliott's late husband, singer Kevin Carlberg, with whom she had daughter Lyric, now eight, died of brain cancer. "That happened right in the middle of building our business," says Elliott, who has since married hospitality entrepreneur John Rankin. "So we've had perspective checking us every single day."

Cod wallop: So long, New England fishermen?
Last week, the New England Fishery Management Council cut the cod quota in the Gulf of Maine by 77 percent and off Georges Bank by 61 percent. Some fishermen will be able to fish cod for only a day, or less, this year. The South Coast Today newspaper quoted John Bullard of the National Marine Fisheries Service as saying, simply, "The fish aren't there."
But fishermen say the cod have moved north, and these catch limits will devastate the industry for no good reason. There is scientific evidence to support their claim.
Cod do migrate to colder waters when their native waters warm.
In 2005, Institute of Marine Research scientist Kenneth Drinkwater wrote in the ICES Journal of Marine Science that a temperature increase of 4 degrees celsius would lead to collapse of the cod fishery off Georges Bank and sharp decline in the Gulf of Maine as the cod migrated north. "It is quite clear that, with future warming, there will be a northward migration of cod," he wrote.
In the past year, the temperature in the Gulf of Maine reached record highs. "At some point, (the gulf) is going to be inhospitable to cod. We're getting close to that now," said Jeffrey Runge, biological oceanographer at the University of Maine. In the past four years, the surface temperature in the gulf has risen between 2 and 3.5 degrees fahrenheit a year, more than enough to cause the near-collapse due to migration that Drinkwater predicted in 2005.
The government acts as though the only issue is overfishing. So it does what it always has done: it cuts the quotas. This approach is so inflexible and burdensome that even politicians like Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen, reflexive supporters of empowering government to control industries through the regulatory process, have expressed opposition to it.
Maybe last week's action, which could decimate the New England fishing industry, will finally open the eyes of those who assume that bureaucrats always know, and do, what is best.

It was 68 years ago that retired Captain Charles Evans was deployed to World War II. Now, at the age of 95, he's being honored as the state's 2012 Veteran of the Year. Our Brooke Selby was in Saratoga Springs to find out what makes this man so special.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- For Captain Charles Evans, 95, of Saratoga Springs, it began with a love affair in 1944 and it has lasted a lifetime.
"I was in the service when we got married, we had been dating for some time," said Evans.
Charles and his wife Elyse were married 68 years ago, days before he was deployed to World War II as a United States Army Air Force pilot. Soon after another affair began.
Evans remembered, "I just wanted to fly airplanes, thats what I was interested in."
That was exactly what he did. Evans completed more than 30 combat missions in Europe during the war.
General Hartman of the State Military Museum said, "It's quite extraordinary, most people don't even make 25."
After being discharged, he returned home to be a pilot with American Airlines and raise his family of four with Elyse.
While Captain Evans served more than 30 combat missions in World War II, his family said it was rare that he discussed it at home.
Evans wife, Elyse said, "To this day it's been very little, even with our children."
"He didn't talk about it a lot but like today, he remembers every mission to the last altitude they were flying at," added Stephen, his son.
That is exactly why his family isn't surprised that the State Military Museum is honoring him as the 2012 New York State Veteran of the year, 68 years later.
Stephen said, "We always thought he was kind of a hero to us, so it's kind of special to see everyone come out and give him that recognition, a little tear in the eye."

Sequence Information
- Entrez Home PageLinks to all the NCBI databases
- Nucleotide (Entrez)The Nucleotide database is a collection of sequences from several sources, including GenBank, RefSeq, TPA and PDB. Genome, gene and transcript sequence data provide the foundation for biomedical research and discovery.
- Protein (Entrez)The Protein database is a collection of sequences from several sources, including translations from annotated coding regions in GenBank, RefSeq and TPA, as well as records from SwissProt, PIR, PRF, and PDB. Protein sequences are the fundamental determinants of biological structure and function.
- Gene (Entrez)Gene supplies gene-specific connections in the nexus of map, sequence, expression, structure, function, citation, and homology data. Unique identifiers are assigned to genes with defining sequences, genes with known map positions, and genes inferred from phenotypic information. These gene identifiers are used throughout NCBI's databases and tracked through updates of annotation.
- Structure (Entrez) Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB). The Molecular Modeling DataBase (MMDB), also known as "Entrez Structure," is a database of experimentally determined structures obtained from the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB). MMDB is developed by the Structure Group of the NCBI Computational Biology Branch.
- BLAST - Basic Local Alignment Search ToolThe Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.
- Taxonomy (Entrez)The Taxonomy Database is a curated classification and nomenclature for all of the organisms in the public sequence databases. This currently represents about 10% of the described species of life on the planet.
Article Databases
- MEDLINE (EBSCO)This is the EBSCOHost version of Medline. EBSCOHost's search system allows the searcher to do very precise keyword searches, but requires a familiarity with Boolean, Proximity, and Truncation Operations; as well as a logical approach to developing search strategies.

The Best (Non-Side) Braids for Summer
Summer 2010 will forever be branded the summer of the side braid. But if you're looking for something slightly more creative (or lack Miu Miu's luscious manes) there are other ways to get your hair out of your face.
Like the fishtail braid, which also enjoyed a strong runway outing last season at shows like Oscar De La Renta, Missoni and Doo.Ri. Getting the perfect one, like Diane Kruger, may take practice and you'll need a lot of hair but it manages too look significantly less sporty than your basic single braid.
There's also the braided bun, which can be as complicated or simple as you want. Zac Posen sent a pretty complex version down his runway, but New York girls have been sporting perfectly imperfect versions full of messy wisps of hair all summer.
Sienna Miller's almost signature set of Heidi braids is the ultimate way to guarantee that every single piece of hair is pulled atop your head (a 100° essential). Don't even try this without super long hair or serious extensions.
French braids can look uptight, but if they're loosely pulled back (without a ribbon in site) and sort of pulled to the side, they work. Guido's now legendary version for Alexander Wang's SS10 runway is the best kind of French braid.
It's hard to weave small braids into your long hair without looking like you just got bored in class, but Blake Lively actually makes it work. Try starting with a lower layer of hair so that they peek out, instead of on top.

Having Seven Kids in the Orthodox World
Yesterday Kveller contributing editor Jordana Horn wrote about the challenges of raising five children in a two-child world. Jordana's friend Ruchi, an Orthodox mother of seven, wrote this follow-up piece about raising her own brood in a seven-kid world.
I feel Jordana's pain. My freakishness, when I venture beyond my little Orthodox Jewish community, or others like it, feels a lot like yours! But it is infinitely easier to have seven kids in a seven-to-ten-kid world than five kids in a two-kid world. See, my whole seven-kid world works perfectly around my seven-kid family. Two or three kids is considered a "small family," while twelve is considered large. Fortunately for me, expectations in my world fit right in with my family's lifestyle.
1. Grocery shopping.
In bigger kosher communities (i.e. Israel, New York, Lakewood, NJ) you can call or fax your local kosher store or produce market and have them deliver everything to your door. Here in cute little Cleveland the best option for large-scale shopping is still Costco. True story: I can't understand why anyone with two kids belongs to Costco. How's that for reverse-freakishness?

Most drugs have a large list of nonsevere or mild adverse effects which do not rule out continued usage. These effects depend on individual sensitivity, and can include nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, malaise, vomiting, headache, dermatitis, dry mouth, etc. Check commonly reported side effects . These can be considered a form of pseudo-allergic reaction, as not all users experience these effects; many users experience none at all.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

H & P Industries Povidone Iodine Swabsticks, Prep Solutions, Scrub Solutions, and Prep Gel: Recall - Inadequate Microbial Testing
Multiple brands affected - listed below
[UPDATED 09/25/2012] Custom Medical Specialties, Inc., Custom HSG Tray, Hysteroscopic Sterilization Pack, Custom Vein Tray, Custom Amnio Tray, Fox Chase Specials Pack, Abington Radiology Drainage Pack, Custom CT Biopsy Tray, HSG Tray, Custom Myelogram Tray, and Hysteroscopy Sterile Procedure Kit. Class 1 Recall. The custom surgical kits contain Povidone Iodine Prep solution that had previously been recalled by H & P Industries, Inc. The manufacturer did not conduct any microbial testing and the products did not meet proper finished specifications. These products may cause serious adverse health consequences, including death. See the Recall Notice for a listing of affected brand names and lot numbers.
[Posted 08/27/2011]
ISSUE: H & P Industries and FDA notified health professionals and the public of a recall of all lots (lots beginning with 8J-8M, 9A-9M, 0A-0M, 1A-1C) of Povidone Iodine Swabsticks, Prep Solutions, Scrub Solutions, and Prep Gel. H & P Industries, Inc. manufactured these Povidone Iodine products without having in place a system for microbial testing at the time of release, without having a system for testing of incoming components, and without having procedures designed and established to prevent objectionable microorganisms in these drug products. Patients undergoing medical and surgical procedures, including those who are immunocompromised, have a high risk of infection from antiseptic surgical preparations that have been prepared, packaged, or held under insanitary conditions. This recall has been initiated at the request of FDA.
BACKGROUND: Povidone Iodine Swabsticks, Povidone Iodine Prep Solutions, Povidone Iodine Scrub Solutions, and Povidone Iodine Prep Gel are labeled as an antiseptic for preparation of the skin prior to surgery, and are used to prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes and burns. The Povidone Iodine Scrub solutions are labeled also for use as a surgical hand scrub for health care professionals. The Povidone Iodine products were distributed nationwide to healthcare customers. The swabsticks are packaged in individual packets of 1 or 3 swabs and the Prep Solution, Scrub Solution and Prep Gel are sold in bottles.
RECOMMENDATION: Specific customers distributing the product and selling it at the wholesale and hospital level are being notified by e-mail with instructions on how to return the product. Consumers that have any of these types of products in their possession should not use the product and should return it to the place it was purchased.

All day those quiet men
watched, their eyes held
open with splinters of flame:
it's Easter and boats sail out
on the river running cold and free
past Cathedral Street, spires
and a new
park, stone wall skirting
cliff's edge, eggshell white
against pastel sky
where screaming jays
and break and plummet
above green
willow haze.
How empty the twilight now
where river snarls a wrecked
raft of logs
and late runners follow their dogs
into the hollow jaws of night.

A favorite from last year's Mountain Film in Telluride was honored with the first-ever Indomitable Spirit Award. Music by Prudence star Prudence Mabhena received a cash prize of $1,000, plus an additional $1,800 collected among festival attendees. Also an anonymous donor committed to make up the difference in the effort to raise $25,000 to build Mabhena a new home in Zimbabwe.
"I am absolutely speechless," she said. " It is so wonderful that all these people here would do this for me. This is the greatest day of my life."
Though severely disabled and confined to a wheelchair Mabhena has an incredible singing voice that captivated audiences in live performances at Mountain Film two years in a row. In 2010 funds were raised to provide her with extensive surgery to straighten her spine with the help of Dr. Rick Hodes from the film Making the Crooked Straight . Director David Holbrooke said giving the award to Mabhena was a no-brainer.
"One of the things I try to do here at the festival is to build stories where people have installments," he said. " The latest installment of Prudence is great, to have her back, to know we helped her last year. To help her build this house is a gift to us."
In a celebration of adventure culture the 2011 Mountain Film in Telluride challenged show-goers to aspire to a higher purpose. Themed "Awareness to Action" top prize winners were rewarded for inspiring film fans to discover new possibilities. Happy by Roko Belic took both the student award and audience choice. Young people in the Movies That Matter program selected the film that offered up scientific and anecdotal evidence to support the idea that happiness above all is worth striving for.
"Our movie isn't just for people who are in a mid life crisis or in a rut in their lives. It's also for young people who want to figure out the best way to live," Belic said. "Winning this award means they got some ideas and maybe had some experiences through our film that they feel they can take with them into the future."
The Moving Mountains top prize went to We Still Live Here a film by Anne Makepeace. Depicting the struggle to preserve the Native-American language of the Wampanoag, Makepeace received a cash prize of $3,000. Presenting the award The Cove director Louie Psihoyos said, "While trying to revive a dead language, she revived the entire culture."
A new prize in cinematography went to filmmaker Michael Madsen for Into Eternity. A documentary on the burial of nuclear waste in Finland the film took a chase prize of $1,000 made possible by Felt Soul Media.
The Festival Director's award went to the film Undercity , a story about an urban adventurer who climbs the high bridges of New York City by Andrew Wonder. To honor his late father and Mountain Film supporter Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, festival director David Holbrooke picked a film his dad would have liked.
"He loved New York and he loved adventure," Holbrooke said. " He really would have loved this movie."
The Charlie Fowler Award was presented to director Anson Fogel for his film Cold. A dramatic portrayal of Cory Richard's winter ascent of Gasherbrum II, the pic was the judges' leading choice for the best movie about mountaineering.

We know that exposure to toxic chemicals can lead to health problems. Unfortunately, some toxic chemicals are found where they're least expected- in common, cleaning products. Ammonia can burn, bleach can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Why use this stuff? Though most retailers do offer organic cleaning products, you can take it a step further and make your own and save a few dollars. Homemade, organic cleaning products are a safe, natural alternative to toxic cleaning products. The poison control number is on the label for a reason. In fact, The National Poisons Information Service in Britain recommends parents keep the cleaning products just as securely locked up as the alcohol.
The Need to Adopt Non-Toxic Cleaning Protocols
Reducing exposure to toxins is a process that happens in bits and pieces and you always need to be working at it. The consequences can be dire. Evidence already suggests exposure to certain chemicals may aggravate respiratory reactions. Removing toxic garbage, that shouldn't even be sold as "safe for household use" is of greater importance when pregnant women or young children are involved. Some studies have been launched into examining the effect of cleaning products in hospitals on staff, who are constantly exposed; a possible relation to asthma has been discussed.
Avoid Products with Toxic Ingredients
Adopting green living methods in your home is more important now than ever before. Chemicals such as Triclosan are common in at-home cleaning and hygiene products, yet has been fingered for many problems, including increased incidence of asthma. It's not unusual for products to be introduced as safe and later recalled as unsafe; no surprise, adding chemicals to your living space can have disastrous consequences.
The Alternative
Making your own natural do-it-yourself cleaning solutions provides your home with an eco-friendly cleaning that is gentle and powerful, without the chemicals or toxic fumes. Check the contents under your sink or pantry and you'll likely find the economical, nontoxic ingredients that work alone or in combination to effectively make your home shine!

FAA may ease gadget use on planes
WASHINGTON — The government is moving toward easing restrictions on airline passengers using electronic devices to listen to music, play games, read books, watch movies and work during takeoffs and landings, but it could take a few months.
An industry-labor advisory committee was supposed to make recommendations next month to the Federal Aviation Administration on easing the restrictions. But the agency said in a statement Friday the deadline has been extended to September because committee members asked for extra time to finish assessing whether it's safe to lift restrictions.

Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- The race for attorney general in Virginia remains undecided, with a recount looking increasingly likely.
The State Board of Elections says unofficial results Wednesday afternoon put Republican Mark Obenshain up by 1,157 votes over Democrat Mark Herring out of 2.2 million votes cast.
The vote total does not include provisional ballots. Those are votes cast by people who went to the wrong precinct or did not have the required ID. Absentee ballots have been counted.
Local election officials have until Nov. 12 to finish certifying their counts.
In Virginia, a candidate can call for a recount if the margin is less than 1 percent. The margin in the AG's race is well within that threshold.

I previously had a 2 pairs of salomon gortex shoes and needed a replacement pair, but wanted another style. I just received these shoes and then went to play basketball and then go for a hike with them. The orthofit is amazing. It really feels like I am walking on an air cushion. Although these are not gortex, they are an excellent running shoe and they repel water better than your average sneaker cuz salomon just rocks.
