Brand enlists singer Jason Derulo, other celebs to design themes that can be shared.
Coca-Cola enlisted singer Jason Derulo, the first of five celebrities, to design a Tumblr theme that can be shared and used by others on the social platform.
The campaign is intended to deepen Coke's relationship with teenagers by offering relevant content that can install on their Tumblr pages, said Stuart Kronauge, senior vice president, Coca-Cola Trademark Brands.
"It's one more reminder of Coke in their lives," she said. "It's almost like a dialogue."
Coke has not yet determined which other celebrities will participate. But the idea is to tap famous people that connect with teens and music, she said.
Derulo's theme launched May 24. It is available on Coca-Cola's Tumblr and in the Tumblr Theme Garden. As of mid-day Thursday, it had eight downloads, three "likes," and two "reblogs."
Derulo (on the right) worked with digital marketing agency 360i to build his theme. According to 360i, Derulo provided input on things like his favorite city, beloved piece of clothing, and the significance behind his tattoos. The resulting theme is based on a feather and music notes from one of his tattoos. It also includes lyrics from his latest song, "Undefeated," which was first performed during the American Idol finale as part of the Coca-Cola Perfect Harmony program.
Perfect Harmony asked American Idol fans to collaborate with Derulo to create a new song through four submission and voting phases. Thousands of lyrics were submitted. Following each submission phase, Coca-Cola and Derulo selected the top three lyrics and then fans voted for their favorite. The lyric with the most votes was then incorporated into the song.
Kronauge said "Undefeated" was downloaded 10,000 times in 16 minutes; 25,000 free song downloads were available. As of Thursday, the Perfect Harmony page on AmericanIdol.com was out of free downloads.
360i handles social strategy and community management for Coca-Cola. The initiative comes after Coca-Cola launched its Happiness is Tumblr feature in December 2011.

Kansas State's Nick Martini hits in all situations
Kansas State's sophomore center fielder leads the Big 12 with a .441 batting average.
MANHATTAN — Nick Martini has come to feel at ease in the batter's box. Regardless of the situation or the count, there's no place he'd rather be.
Before every plate appearance, the Kansas State center fielder taps the back edges of home plate with his bat, and waits.
Thanks to his patience, Martini usually ends up exactly where he wants to be — on base. And thanks to a two-hit game against Chicago State on Wednesday, he improved his Big 12-leading batting average to .441.
"That's what he does," said K-State baseball coach Brad Hill. "He's one of the most mature kids I've seen for his age in 23 years of coaching. His knowledge of the strike zone is tremendous. You never see him swinging at bad pitches, and the few times he does you know exactly when he's losing focus or trying to get big."
Considering the many situations that arise during a long baseball season, few would blame Martini for breaking routine every once in a while and swinging for the fences.
But that's not Martini's style. A year ago, Martini struck out 41 times because of lapses like that and vowed never to do so again. As a sophomore, he switched to focusing on singles and walks.
"Last year I really chased some bad balls," Martini said. "I didn't know my strengths. On certain pitches I'd swing and get jammed. I knew I could hit better. This year I only swing at pitches I can hit."
For that reason, Martini is putting together a breakthrough season. Through 39 games he also has 42 RBIs, two home runs and only 12 strikeouts.
If the season ended today, he would win the Big 12 batting title by a wide margin over Missouri's Aaron Senne, who is hitting .421. He would trail only former Kansas City Royal Ken Harvey's mark of .478 set in 1999 while with Nebraska on the Big 12 career list.
Martini smiles when talking about those possibilities.
"They make me feel pretty good," he said. "They make me go into games with confidence, knowing that whoever we're playing I can hit 'em pretty well."
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Martini's game, though, is the way he built those numbers. Not only has he wracked up hits, he has done so in the most consistent way possible. Earlier this season he had a 26-game hitting streak. It ended with a 0-for-3 outing against BYU, but he has since built a nine-game hitting streak with eight of them being multi-hit games.
"He hasn't cooled off," Hill said. "You always see a guy go through a weekend where he goes 1 for 14 or something, but that doesn't happen with him. He's always hitting."
It all goes back to Martini's patient mindset. Rarely does he even lunge at pitches that are balls.
Not many 19-year-olds show that type of restraint, but Martini's father, Scott, says he learned that ability quickly after picking up a glove.
"That's something he's had since he was about four," Scott said. "He's always known what a ball and a strike is. He makes you make a pitch to beat him. He's never going to get himself out. He's that patient."
While that's true now more than ever, he has always shown a knack for getting on base. Growing up in the Chicago area, he was one of the top high school hitters around and won the state hitting crown with a .545 average as a sophomore. As a senior, he helped his team win a state championship.
"He just always wants to hit," Scott Martini said. "It's what he loves to do."
He was recruited by Creighton, Arizona State, Arizona, Illinois and South Carolina, but ultimately chose K-State because he liked Hill and grew up admiring the Big 12 as the best league in college baseball, a league he now leads in hitting.

Apple's Dividend Strategy Divides Investors
Investor Daniel Hung, who writes the Curious Investor blog, also voiced his concern about the "psychological" effect of a large Apple dividend.
"Apple hasn't been imprudent with its cash and hasn't shown a tendency to make irrational acquisitions," he wrote, in an email to TheStreet. "To some degree, I'm willing to let them hold onto the cash knowing that its sentimental value attracts investors and supports the current share price."
It seems unlikely that Apple's strategy will change anytime soon. The tech giant did not respond to questions from TheStreet asking whether a dividend or share buyback is in the company's future. An Apple spokeswoman, however, referred to TheStreet to Jobs' comments at this year's annual investor meeting.
One thing is for sure, though. Apple's stock has skyrocketed, rising more than 1000% in the past 10 years, and it seems that many investors value share price over dividend payments.
Who Owns Apple?

If you download the office 2010 gpo admin templates you can set this and many other office options.
Good morning,
I have inherited a network of vanilla systems where somehow Office 2010 Pro has been deployed, I am guessing via group policy to all of the Windows 7 client systems as I can see evidence of this in the policy.
There are quite a few systems and whilst Office is working well on all of the systems, a quick check of File>Options>Save.... reveals that the install of office by default has a default save location of c:\users\%username%\Documents.
This is no good, as each user has their My Documents stored in N:\
Each time they save, they are having to select save as and browse to N:\
Is there a script I could make which would run at logon on each system to change this default save path or is there no option but to re-install via gpol?
If you download the office 2010 gpo admin templates you can set this and many other office options.
jonnykewell1 (11th March 2013), talksr (16th May 2011)
Thanks @AlexB for your post.
But would I need to re-install Office on each system to use these templates? I can see a share on the server called Office2010 which appears to have some of these templates and files.
Hi, the gpo templates allow post install configuration, so they will allow you to reconfigure without re install, and if you decide later, change at any time to yet newer configuration.
It is possible to reconfigure the installer too, but this is done using the OCT, not admin templates, although they come in the same download (Download details: Office 2010 Administrative Template files (ADM, ADMX/ADML) and Office Customization Tool)
Here is the technet blog on the download with more detailed info. Office 2010 Group Policy Administrative Template files (ADM, ADMX, ADML) and Office Customization Tool download available - Office IT Pro Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs
If he is thinking about what I am then the GPO templates are in the GPMC and you change the setting there - this then makes the necessary registry change on affected machines/users.
I believe the option you may want is Microsoft Office 2010/File Open/Save dialog box/Restricted Browsing.
Yep the settings you are looking for are all in GPO Admin Kit for Office. Import these, and configure the Default Save Location Option. Sadly, there is not a "global" one, you have to go into each office application section and add the value you want. This can be unc or drive letter.
talksr (16th May 2011)
Thanks all. I have sorted it now via the admin kit.
Thanks again!
TheScarfedOne (16th May 2011)

This worked for me cheers fella !!!!!
oooo this is something I have been looking at for ages so thanks for this

I've long advocated making the Monday after the Super Bowl a holiday. If the game is great, we can celebrate. If the game is terrible, a day off provides a soft place to land.
Either way, we don't have to work. Roman Numerals ought to take precedence over the Gross National Product.
Seattle's 43-8 victory against Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII was depressing. At kickoff there was a Saturday morning feel to it. By halftime, it felt like Monday afternoon.
I didn't miss a play, but I did miss most of the commericals and all of halftime. I saw the dober-huahua commercial, which was hilarious. Also I'm a sucker for horses and puppies, and liked the horse-puppy ad.
The only effective horses were in the commercials. The Broncos were harmless. I felt bad for Peyton Manning, who was a human being before he was a quarterback. He's one of the greatest regular-season quarterbacks of all time, but his ineptitude Sunday contributes to a legacy of postseason mediocrity.
All season Manning would fling 6-yard passes that a receiver would turn into 16- and 26-yard gains. Seattle allowed 6-yard passes to go for 6 yards.
Manning was upset when asked if Denver's performance embarrassed him.
"It's not embarrassing at all," he said. "I would never use that word. There are a lot of professional football players in that room, that locker room, who put a lot of hard work and effort into being here and into playing that game. That word embarrassing is an insulting word, to tell you the truth."
If a player chooses to be embarrassed by his work, that's his call.
But I don't get it when fans say their team embarrassed them (unless it's a college team that cheats).
If I choose to be embarrassed, then it won't be the result of something Jordan Gross, Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly or Ted Ginn Jr. did. It will be because of what I did.
I don't need help.
Although the Super Bowl was a forced march, the season was an interesting ride. Think about this: Carolina held its first practice of training camp July 26. That was more than six months ago.
Training camp was so long ago that, in an exclusive interview, NFL Coach of the Year Ron Rivera told me receiver Armanti Edwards was his Spartanburg Most Valuable Player. I wish the interview had not been exclusive.
Until he was hurt, Edwards played well for Cleveland, which picked him up after the Panthers cut him. He was on his way. I tell you. All you fantasy football guys keep an eye out for him – especially if you're in my league.
Five months from now, the Panthers will convene in Spartanburg and start again.
Bovada.lv isn't waiting. It released its odds for the 2015 Super Bowl. Seattle is the favorite at 9-2. San Francisco is 15-2 and Denver is 8-1. This assumes, obviously, that Manning returns.
Green Bay is 16-1, New Orleans is 18-1 and five teams are 25-1. They are Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Carolina.
The odds that Super Bowl XLIX will be better than XLVIII: like, really good.
Although I wish the end of the season had been dramatic, the absence of the NFL is freeing. I can dive into the NBA, have Sundays open and, on Feb. 19, hit Interstate 95 and drive to Daytona Beach, Fla., for the Daytona 500.
The Syracuse-Duke men's basketball game was as mesmerizing as basketball at any level gets. With Duke playing well and North Carolina threatening to, the ACC will be interesting. Davidson has benefited from a rough early-season schedule and is playing like Davidson. In April, there's the golf tournament in Augusta, Ga., one of the great events in sports.
So, yes, there is life after football.
But it shouldn't start until Tuesday.

Kendall Students Help Food Pantry
Five fantastic sculptures are combining artistic talent with the art of giving at Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University, Wood TV 8 reports. Students and local companies built these structures together as part of a national project called "Can-struction." The project's chair person is Kendall student Emily Davison.

It was really cool on Saturday just to see the whole thing come together," she said. In Grand Rapids, The Salvation Army is the recipient of the cans that were used to make these sculptures. More than 11,000 cans were used to create all five.

Coconutbread- response to your thread...

I couldn't respond to your thread, so starting a new one with my reply. Not the most efficient method of delivery, but I have no choice.
I didn't experience that from the GBS swab. It wouldn't hurt to call and ask if you're still having the pain with urination. I think that's probably the best thing to do. I'm sorry you're in so much discomfort! :(
|Fri, 11-02-2012 - 10:23am
Well, after yesterday mornings pain, I didn't have another one all day. Everytime I went to the bathroom, I'd wait for it to happen...and it didn't. So, I guess it was a scratch of some sort that healed. It didn't do it again, so I don't know. I know I was drinking a whole lot of water to keep things flowing in case it was a UTI starting or something. But, I'm all good now. Weird.

The Basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus, is the second largest fish after the whale shark. The basking shark is a cosmopolitan species - it is found in all the world's temperate oceans. It is a slow moving and generally harmless filter feeder. Like other large sharks, basking sharks are at risk of extinction due to a combination of low resilience and overfishing through increasing demands for...

Citigroup: Financial Fiscal Cliff Bounce Winner (Update 1)
Atlantic Equities analyst Richard State made the case last Wednesday that Bank of America is solidly capitalized and will be approved to return significant capital to investors after the next round of Federal Reserve stress tests in March, saying the company had "already met its Basel III capital requirements in Q3," years in advance of regulatory requirements.
JPMorgan Chase analyst Vivek Juneja on Friday reiterated his "Overweight" rating for Bank of America, while raising his price target for the shares to $13 from $11.50, citing the "significant benefit from potential housing market recovery, potential for significant increase in normalized earnings, ongoing improvement of capital levels, relatively attractive valuation, and position as a leading retail and commercial banking franchise in the US."
Discounted to Book and Ready to Pay
Bank of America's shares trade for 0.8 times their reported Sept. 30 tangible book value of $13.48, while Citigroup's shares trade even lower, at 0.7 times their reported Sept. 30 tangible book value of $52.70. These discounts underline the potential for both stocks to outperform during 2013, despite their strong recoveries this year.
For Citigroup, investors will be looking for the company to follow through with former CEO Vikram Pandit's "good bank/bad bank" strategy of parking noncore assets within Citi Holdings, selling them off or winding them down, while freeing up excess capital.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Erika Penala on Nov. 26 estimated that following the stress tests, Citigroup will raise its quarterly dividend from the current nominal penny, to 15 cents.
Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo trades at higher valuations than Citi and BAC, reflecting the company's growing share of the mortgage lending market, as well as its strong earnings performance, with quarterly operating returns on average assets increasing to 1.46% from 1.27% over the past five quarters, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. The shares trade for 1.7 times tangible book value, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, and for 9.5 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $3.63, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $3.94. Based on a quarterly dividend of 22 cents, Wells Fargo's common shares had a dividend yield of 2.56%.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! To top this festive celebration, or at least some Mexican-inspired salads, I have an amazing coconut lime dressing recipe from Erin Bosdet of Simply Dish.
Both healthy and tasty, this coconut lime dressing gets its creamy consistency from a blend of ripe avocado, coconut oil, and unsweetened coconut milk beverage. Just be sure that all of your ingredients are brought to room temperature before blending. Coconut oil solidifies when cooled even a little, so it will firm up and leave little pieces in your creamy concoction if any ingredients are even a little chilled.
This coconut lime dressing recipe is naturally vegan, dairy-free / non-dairy, gluten-free, and soy-free. Enjoy it atop fresh salads all spring and summer long!

Plans for a 12-story hotel with 148 rooms and a 14-story office tower in downtown Flushing are one step closer to reality with approval of a variance Monday night by Community Board 7.
Attorney Richard Lobel asked that a reduction in parking be permitted because of the high water table at the site, 36-18 Main St. It is the former location of Peck's office supply company. The board approved the request in a 28 to 2 vote, allowing 305 spots instead of the required 344.
The board asked the developer to seek a Department of Transportation traffic study and the placement of a light on 36th Avenue and Prince Street because of traffic concerns. The Board of Standards and Appeals will make the final decision on the zoning change.
Plans call for the office building to front on Main Street and an Intercontinental hotel and underground parking on Prince. There will also be a two-level spa between the buildings as well as shops and a restaurant.

Robert Pattinson: I Want to Be Mean
Robert Pattinson may be a sweetheart, but the Twilight hunk claims that he has a nasty side and wants to let it loose on X Factor.
The 24-year-old dreamboat said that he envies X Factor and American Idol meanie Simon Cowell for getting paid to be nasty to people all day:
It would be one of the best things ever to get paid for handing out Simon Cowell-style insults for the day. I wouldn't want to be one of the nice guys, I'd want to be like Simon – otherwise it's no fun.
RPattz later said that he didn't thinks that Simon is simply "painfully honest" which is what makes him "so good." Who knew Rob was a fan of tough criticism?
At the very least, maybe the folks at American Idol have found a good replacement for Simon.
Do you think Rob could be mean? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Israel/Palestine: CODEPINK delegation attacked by police
The journalist was taken to a local police station and released an hour later without charges. Mr. Barry was treated overnight at the hospital.
The CODEPINK delegation has requested that the Israeli police and military investigate the brutality used by their forces on the peaceful, non-violent protesters.
When President Obama spoke in Cairo on June 4, a separate CODEPINK delegation that had just returned from six days in Gaza in early June, held a demonstration right outside Cairo University holding signs that read "Stop funding Israeli War Crimes." Egyptian police allowed the demonstration to take place.
"Is this the great democracy that the U.S. taxpayers pay for with $3 billion dollars a year?", cried Medea Benjamin as she was being dragged away by the police.

James Anderson removed Virat Kohli for the fourth time in this series as India are tottering at 61 are five on Day Three of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Manchester on Saturday. Kohli edged to slip once again as India inch towards an innings defeat.
Earlier, India's batting lynchpin in this series so far Rahane was under considerable pressure and chipped the ball straight to the bowler and Moeen Ali had taken two wickets in two overs. India are in dire straits at the moment. He had dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara.
A couple of overs ago, Gautam Gambhir and Pujara grew into the game with a few good strokes which yielded boundaries square of the wicket. Moeen Ali's ineffective over saw Gambhir sweep behind square for a boundary before James Anderson induced an edge of a wide delivery down the leg-side and was pouched by Jos Buttler. Pujara was just beginning to look good before Moeen Ali trapped him in front. Hawk-eye though suggested that the ball would go on to miss the stumps and Pujara had a bemused look on his face

The 26th Congressional District wasn't one of the tighter races, and YNN's Natalia Martinez reports that Democrat Brian Higgins secured his seat yet again, beating out a Republican running for the first time.
The results for the 26th Congressional District came in early on Tuesday night.Four-term Democrat Brian Higgins won by a landslide with 76 percent of the vote in Erie County.
Higgins says he's staying focused on the Inner and Outer Harbor and economic development.
"Downtown developement with the growth of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, the demand for the residential developement, so you're just going to see in the next two years tremendous growth for Buffalo and Western New York making Buffalo one of the great cities of America again," said Higgins, (D).
The 26th District includes all of Buffalo and Niagara Falls, Grand Island, the Tonawandas, Amherst, and Cheektowaga and is overwhelmingly Democratic. All night people were glued to the screen watching those numbers come in and hoping their local candidates would win for a better tomorrow.
Republican Michael Madigan, 48, was running for the first time. He gained 24 percent of the vote in Erie County. The businessman from Grand Island had focused his campaign on education.
"It's not working and we need to change that and change the way in which we're doing it. This isn't something that's going to be fixed in six months, it's going to take years and we've started to build that foundation and that's where I'm headed," he said.
Meanwhile, Higgins says he's ready to fight for Western New York for another four years.

I felt like I won the lottery today. My friend Jen gave me a big bag of her sons outgrown for my son Spencer. He had so needed a raincoat, WooHoo! I walked to & from McDonalds to have lunch w/my friends & their kids. I was pleasantly surprised that even w/eating the burger, salad & some fries for lunch as well as having rice, beans, chili, sweet potato fries & corn chips for dinner I still met all my nutritional goals & thankfully I met my strength training & cardio goals too. Today was awesome. I hope to do as well again tomorrow
Yesterday was crazy busy while my oldest was in school I took the other 2 to gymnastics in the am. While they were in gymnastics, I dropped off the drycleaning & recycling. While Olivia went to preschool in the afternoon I went through & packed away my sandals & pulled out the fall/winter shoes, bills, laundry & prepped dinner. After school Victoria had ballet, tap & jazz, meanwhile I went grocery shopping w/Spencer & Olivia. We all were home to enjoy a yummy dinner together before getting ready for bed.
After dinner when tracking my cardio & nutrition, I realized I needed much more calories, carbs & protein. I was so excited b/c now I could snack on ice cream & fruit & I still can eat more. WooHoo, I love when that happens. Now I just need to go eat a little more protein & I'll be right on track. It's a new week & I hope to do better than last w/my cardio. So far so good. Tomorrow is my busiest day, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Here's hoping I can keep up the good work :)
I'm so excited for today. I'm bringing the kids to WW1 park to meet Victoria's new friend from the bus & her mom. Then I'm getting some me time. It looks like it's going to be a cold one today. I'm going to miss the weather we've been having the past few days.
It was a great day today. I'm so excited my husband is back from his trip to CO. I'm happy our dryer was fixed today and that it's covered by warranty. I enjoyed my walk outside w/my 2 little ones & a impromptu playdate w/Jeanine.

10-Year-Old Girl Becomes Internet Sensation For Her Serious Flirting Skills

If you haven't had the best luck in the romance department, this little girl can show you what flirting skills you have been missing.
What happens when you combine El Paso's own Internet sensation Vincent Marcus and The All American Rejects? Awesomeness. That's what.
It's Streetfest weekend, and every outlet in the KLAQ offices is currently charging heaps of cameras and phones as we plan to capture every moment and keep you in the loop here on KLAQ.com, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Vine - where we're handing the keys over to El Paso's own Vine celebrity, Vincent Marcus!
Vincent Marcus -- a celebrity on the social media site Vine, as well as an El Pasoan -- stopped by the studios today and got schooled by Scott Ronson.
Hello, fellow Internet user! Maybe you're not as tech-savvy as I am and you haven't heard of the latest "information-superhighway" craze. It's called Vine and it's what all the super-hip social mediaratti are into now.
Here is a montage of the best Vine videos of 2013. I've noticed an interesting corollary: the more elaborately planned your video is in exact negative correlation to how funny your video is. Yes, even here on the cutting edge of computer based comedy, the funniest 6 seconds are still America's Funniest Home Video-style clips of people busting ass while running next to a swimming pool. Slapstick is the purest form of humor and Bob Saget is it's prophet.
Happy Birthday Arnold! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Everyone has attempted to imitate Arnold but WIll Sasso really does it the best!
Vine is all the rage these days, and KLAQ is now part of it! Follow us by searching KLAQ on Vine. Not on Vine? Check back here because we'll be posting our videos throughout Street Fest 2013!

**Contains Legend of Korra Season 1 Spoilers**
And honestly, I'm not feeling it. Doug Walker (aka The Nostalgia Critic) has been doing a series where he's been vlogging his experience watching the original Avatar series for the first time (Take a look they're actually really good go watch them! thatguywiththeglasses.com/vide… ). He's a new fan to the series and his enthusiasm and critique of the original series has only helped to intensify my loathing and hatred of The Legend of Korra's disastrous season finally.
The more I remember how amazing and awesome the original Avatar series is, the less I am interested in picking up the pieces and following these unlikable characters through another series of exploits, especially after haphazardly killing off the main villain in such a clumsy and awkward way. Not only that, but there's no growth to the main character at all. There's no journey of her learning how to be an Air Bender the way there was for Aang, as her powers are unlocked through lazy writing (more on that in a minute). There's nothing left to really continue with except continuing to force the relationship dilemmas that they've made very clear by the end of the 1st season who gets with who anyway so... there's no real point going on with it.
Avatar: The Last Airbender was lightning in a bottle and their attempts to replicate it but make it "more grown up" with Korra have failed spectacularly in my eyes. It started off with such good promise with interesting set ups and situations, but all of them failed (or worse crashed and burned) during the season finally. Here are my top 4 reasons for hating the ending to Korra.
1. Korra doesn't learn anything. She still runs in and fights head on and doesn't have patience and doesn't learn airbending at all. It gets "unlocked" through some bullshit excuse when her powers are taken away.
2. Aang solves all the problems. After Amon is dead and Korra is left as just an airbender, she walks away and meets the spirit of Aang who then proceeds to give her back her powers (which had JUST been taken away not more than 5 minutes ago) where she then proceeds to go through all the cast who lost their powers and fixes them. EVERYTHING that was being built up as this terrible awful dehumanizing thing that Amon was doing to the world throughout the entire first season... erased. And not just erased, but erased in the last MINUTE of the episode.
3. Amon is dead. Seriously why kill him off like that? You KNEW you had 2 more seasons left to go through, or at least you did before the series AIRED. I can't believe for a second that the producers couldn't have simply removed that scene or called in a last minute edit (which is a very common thing to do with animated TV shows) to keep Amon as a villain. Without him as the great threat to overcome, there's nothing to look forward to in the next season. Nothing to keep the seasons connected in any way except through the main characters.
4. Mako is a jackass. Fuck Mako. Not the voice actor who did General Iroh in the original series. No the stern cold hearted jackass who is Korra's "love interest." Except that Korra already HAD a love interest in the form of Bolin. Also, Mako cheats on his girlfriend to be with Korra. CONSTANTLY. He keeps telling Korra he likes her, while holding on the arms of his girlfriend who he saved from her crazy father and who genuinely loves him back. What a selfish asshole. I don't want anything to do with this guy. By the end of the season it's clear who's who in the roster. Bolin is Sokka. Mako is Katara. Plus it's just disheartening to see such a selfish, arrogant, womanzing, sexist asshole be given the name of Mako, the voice actor for Iroh.
Watching the trailer for the new season it seems pretty clear they don't have any idea what to do next with the characters and are just rehashing already known spirit characters through some contrived war of spirit world versus human world. That wouldn't be a problem for me IF those seeds had been planted in the first season. But they weren't. The entirety of the first season was about Amon taking people's bending powers away and nothing to do with the spirit world. Amon is dead, and the producers have 2 more seasons to make so... well... i guess they gotta come up with something.
I'm making a prediction right now. Season 2 of Korra will be the spirits angry at the world and all the characters fighting back, with some moralizing lesson in the season finally.
I can't do it, Nickelodeon. I can't muster any interest in seeing what happens to Korra or any of the other characters. Probably would've been best to just end it at the first season and skip ahead another 100 years so we'd have a different avatar to start the slate fresh. I'm gonna have to rely on you guys to watch this for me and tell me if I'm wrong or that they might "justify" themselves later, cuz I can't muster the dedication to watch it.

V8/7c ABC Fans of the 1983 miniseries about extraterrestrials who visit Earth under false pretenses can fondly recall hero Marc Singer, hottie-baddie Jane Badler and a pre-Freddy Krueger Robert Englund paying his dues. So what does the reboot have going for it? Genre vet Morena Baccarin (Firefly; Stargate SG-1) takes the pretty-villain role whilst Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost) and Joel Gretsch (The 4400) develop a case of scrutiny for the alien visitors. Read on for previews of Biggest Loser, By the People: The Election of Barack Obama, NCIS and Kathy Griffin: Balls of Steel.

Reviewer: Fred Marks
The product is well made and was easy to install using the instructions provided. I have two suggestions that will make the product even better.
1 The unit replaced was a firebox top damper that had failed. The frame of it formed the top of the firebox and had to stay in place. That means the cable has to make slight corner to reach the bracket. A short length of stainless steel tube would permit that turn and protect the cable from abarasion over time. I will be pleased to beta test one for you and report back.
2 Please break the edges of the bracket. I was attempting to clean the tiles in the firebox and inadvertently cut my hand on the sharp edges of the bracket. This can be done efficiently with a tumbler box.

Reviewer: Bruce Winsor
The chimney cap w/damper works well. I purchased a piece of stainless steel 6 wide x 24 cut in 1/2 to use as an extender support to secure the cap to the top of the flue liner. The cap did not have enough width on the bottom to secure it with the wind and weather.
Otherwise - great idea.

The final part of the installation, "Lost Arms in a Crystal World," emerges from the artist's visit to Dallas some months ago. Roth has stitched together interior architecture, photography, taxidermy and drawing in order to make another Romanticist commentary on the defilement of nature. At the center of the room is a large, square brick-enclosed passage at the top of which are two plastic horns. Scattered around the base are crystal shards and a crystal-impaled stuffed red fox. A large black-and-white photo of a frost-covered communication tower hangs on the back wall next to a large, faint drawing of architectural fragments, including a portion of a glass wall, an extruded fireplace and a tower top taken from the Dallas skyline. As a German artist, Roth's perception of Dallas is indeed that of an outsider looking in. But it is perhaps through the eyes of an outsider that we see ourselves best, for here, through crystal and brick, architectural debris and quasi-dead flesh, Roth gives form to that which is quintessentially Texan, what that other well-known Roth (Philip) has called the "indigenous American berserk."
Shooting surrealism through the prism of conceptual art, Roth's work is an exercise in abstraction newly conceived. As an installation that is largely conceptualist in nature, Zones of Dissolution veers from other moving-image showings that have been part of the Concentrations series at the DMA. While Roth's show marks a success in this ongoing series of contemporary art exhibitions, certain questions are raised. And these questions concern the nature of conceptual art tout court. Expressive though not narrative, Roth's bits and pieces make a statement that may be difficult for some to grasp. The exhibition calls for careful deliberation, if not invention on the part of the viewer. One might feel the need to fill in the gaps of meaning by referring to writings about or by the artist, as Roth's formal vocabulary is economic, to say the least. For some, this extra labor may mark a deficiency in the work. For others, it may be the very earmark of successful conceptualist practice. Ultimately, this is an ambiguous duality that perhaps all conceptual artists confront before finding the clear lines of expression that are at times more easily attained in other media, both traditional and experimental. Distinct, though, to Roth's conceptual work is his strong reliance on the imaginations of those who experience his work. "Medium" for Roth thus includes the raw stuff of making--photos, drawings, sculpture, etc. --as well as the participant's imagination. And it is because of this that Roth's conceptualist interventions succeed: because he transforms the immaterial imagination of the participant-viewer into the raw stuff of making.

How Apple's iPhone Is Already Helping China Mobile
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Fear not Apple (AAPL) fans. It looks like the iPhone launch for China Mobile (CHL) is already playing out better than anyone expected at the world's largest carrier.
In a research note, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brian White, he of the $777 Apple price target, noted that China Mobile added 14.24 million 3G subscribers in January, taking its total to 205.87 million, the fastest addition to its 3G subscriber base since August 2013. "As 2014 unfolds, we believe Apple's momentum with China Mobile will accelerate as the carrier rolls out its 4G TD-LTE network," he wrote. "Additionally, we expect Apple to unveil larger iPhones in 2014 (i.e., 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch versions), and we believe these devices will resonate well in China."
Apple launched the iPhone 5s and 5c on China Mobile's network starting Jan. 17, following months and months of long, drawn out negotiations between the two parties.
For the month, 3G subscribers in all of China increased by 18.14 million to 435.5 million. China Unicom (CHU) added 3.87 million subs to end the month with 126.47 subscribers, while China Telecom (CHA) ended the month with 103.14 million subscribers, adding none during the month.As it stands now, China Mobile ended January with 771.87 million wireless subscribers, accounting for 62% of China's wireless subscribers, but the segment Apple is going after is 3G, which pays for data costs and high-speed Internet access. China is increasingly becoming a bigger market for Apple, and given the size of the population, may eventually surpass the U.S. That's why Apple CEO Timothy D. Cook and his team have harped on how important China is to Apple. On the company's fiscal first-quarter earnings call, Apple noted 15% of its sales came from Greater China, and that 57% of ALL web browsing in China was done on iOS devices, despite Google's (GOOG) Android presence in the country. On Apple's first-quarter earnings call, Cook also noted that the China Mobile deal helped drive the best week of activations ever for Apple in China. "I would add, as a further update, we've been selling with China Mobile now for about a week, and last week was the best week for activations we've ever had in China," he said. "So it's been an incredible start, and at this moment, we're just selling in 16 cities with China Mobile, and as Peter alluded to, this number is projected to be over 300 cities by the end of this year. And so we've got quite the ramp in front of us, and we're incredibly excited." Judging by 3G subscriber adds at China Mobile, it looks like both Apple and China Mobile have a lot to be excited about. --Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

Javier Hernandez inspired a Manchester United comeback as the visitors came from two goals down to win 3-2 at Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
Andreas Weimann scored either side of the interval to give the hosts an unlikely lead but half-time substitute Hernandez scored twice and had a shot turned into his own net by Ron Vlaar to keep United clear at the top of the Premier League.
United dominated much of the opening period with Villa content to sit back and soak up the pressure and hope to hit the visitors on the counter-attack.
It looked to be paying off as Antonio Valencia and Paul Scholes both failed to test Guzan with long-range chances and the Villa defence managed to shackle the threat of Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie for long spells.
Villa hit the front in first-half stoppage time when Christian Benteke shrugged off Chris Smalling and squared for Weimann to beat David de Gea with a perfectly hit first-time shot.
The Austrian was on target again five minutes after the restart as Stephen Ireland found Gabriel Agbonlahor in space on the left and he drilled in a low shot to give Weimann a five-yard tap-in.
But United responded well and Hernandez timed his run onto a Scholes pass to perfection and managed to dig the ball out from under his feet before beating Guzan on 58.
The visitors were back on level terms five minutes later when Rafael stood up a cross to the back post which was met by Hernandez and his volley struck Vlaar to leave Guzan wrong-footed.
Guzan kept his side in it with a full-stretch save from Rooney while Weimann was denied his hat-trick by a reaction save from De Gea as the Villa man met a Barry Bannan cross with a thumping header.
But it was all United thereafter and Van Persie was twice denied by the woodwork in as many minutes, the crossbar still shaking after his thumping header from a Rooney corner when he hit it again with a delightful 25-yard curler.
The Red Devils were laying siege to the Villa goal and the hosts' resistance was finally broken three minutes from time when Hernandez stooped to head home Van Persie's brilliant free-kick. United never know when they are beaten and after seldom posing a threat in the opening 45 minutes, the introduction of Hernandez sparked them into life.
They dominated the second period and their persistence finally paid off as they took their goal tally to 29 in 11 league games.
Hernandez also took the match-ball and confirmed he has every intention of claiming the second goal which deflected in off Vlaar. Either way the Mexican was the star of the show.
The win stretches United's advantage over nearest rivals Chelsea to four points after another of their now famous fightbacks.
