10 Best Apple Products Ever
The Mac
Following the success of the Apple II, Apple failed with the Apple III, which nearly was a disaster the company did not recover from.
In 1984, that all changed when Jobs unveiled the Mac to the world in a Super Bowl commercial unlike anything the world had ever seen.
The Mac took the personal computing revolution to a level the Apple II never did. Known for its distinctive beige design, the computer came with a monitor, keyboard and a mouse, and is remembered for its exceptional graphical user interface (GUI). Originally named the Apple Macintosh, once sales of the device were so strong that it would be a hit, a second product came out named Mac 512K, and the original Mac was named Mac 128K. Unlike the Apple II, the Mac was not expandable and cost users $2,495.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Monkey, a Port Republic Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Port Republic, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Port Republic.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Port Republic already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Port Republic breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Port Republic paves the way for another one to be saved.

PEW CHARITABLE TRUSTS – Informing the Public
Deadline: Anytime
Website: http://www.pewtrusts.com
Abstract: A vibrant democracy depends on a citizenry that pays heed to the issues and policy makers who are in touch with constituent concerns. The Trusts' information projects have all been conceived in that spirit. They use public opinion surveys and other social science research tools to enlighten citizens, journalists and policy makers about contemporary issues and trends. These initiatives are rigorously nonpartisan and independent--meaning that they do not promote solutions, advance ideological agendas or engage in advocacy. Rather, they help policy makers better understand citizens' points of view and the public better understand its policy choices. At a time when our nation and world are divided by bitter partisanship and polarization, a thoughtful infusion of facts and trustworthy analysis make an invaluable contribution to political discourse, policy making and public discussion. FUNDING: In FY 2005, 8 grants were made, totaling $19,850,000.

Abstract: Alexander von Humboldt Foundation will grant the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, to young scientists and scholars from abroad with outstanding research records.

The Philly Connection: Broadway's Les Misérables Returns To The Academy Of Music January 2-13; The Major Motion Picture's Star Hugh Jackman To Grace The Same Stage On January 26
Cameron Mackintosh's new 25th anniversary production of Les Misérables is once again coming to the Academy of Music for a two-week engagement, January 2-13.
And here's a fun spin: the movie version of the hit musical stars Hugh Jackman, who will himself be gracing the Academy of Music stage just 13 days after the Les Misérables cast. He'll be joining Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra for a special evening celebrating the Academy's 156th Anniversary.
Based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, Les Misérables is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit.
With glorious new staging and spectacular scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo, this new production is breaking box office records wherever it goes.
Tickets for Les Mis are already on sale, and start at just $25 — holiday gift, anyone?
For a video sneak peek of the 25th Anniversary production of Les Misérables, see below.
Les Misérables at the Academy of Music

Promoting Positive Youth Development in Low-Income Elementary Schools
This brief is one in a series of final reports from the Study of Playworks Implementation in Eight Bay Area Schools. It examines the ways that Playworks promotes positive youth development and reports students', teachers', and principals' views of the program's effects on students and the school environment. This brief builds on earlier study publications, including a literature review, a theory of change model, an interim report, and a final report.
Findings include:
- Eighty-seven percent of teachers agreed that students in their schools felt connected to their coach.
- Students from schools with coach turnover were less likely to report that they had an adult on campus who cared about them than students who attended schools that had the same coach all year.
- Sixty percent of the teachers surveyed felt Playworks had also increased students' sense of belonging at school.
- About three-quarters of teachers surveyed in the spring believed that students felt more or much more emotionally and physically safe at school as a result of Playworks.
- Seventy-seven percent of teachers responding to the spring survey agreed or strongly agreed that junior coaches had gained leadership skills as a result of participation in the program.
Playworks may benefit from exploring ways to support coach consistency. Because some coach turnover is to be expected, creating structures to facilitate a positive transition, focused on strong communication and support, would strengthen the program.

January 13, 2009, 12:15 AM
By A.J. Jacobs
Timothy Devine
Early on in the 2008 presidential race, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee received the endorsement of conservative pundit Stephen Baldwin. And now, ten months later, Baldwin is reaping his reward.
Baldwin is the next guest on Huckabee's new talk show on Fox News. He arrives in the greenroom wearing a brown suit. His hair is buzzed short like a staff sergeant's, his bag stuffed with copies of his new book a Christian-themed detective thriller.
Baldwin spots Huckabee in front of the mirror, knotting a red striped tie.
"I put on my tie in the lobby!" chides Baldwin.
"Blessed is the tie that binds," responds Huckabee.
There are laughs all around.
Huckabee slips his jacket on over his white shirt and cross-adorned cuff links. Meanwhile, the members of the 1980s band Yes one of whom is wearing hard-to-miss green boots are hanging out near the bagels and wraps, warming up for their rendition of "Owner of a Lonely Heart."
And naturally, here comes Dan Rather. You know, just to ensure that the bizarreness level is ratchetted high enough. He's here to talk about the anniversary of JFK's assassination.
Baldwin needs to make a record of this remarkable celebrity syzygy with his iPhone camera. He drapes his arms around Huckabee's and Rather's shoulders.
"I'm the good Baldwin brother," he explains to Rather.
"I didn't know there was one," Rather responds.
Laughs all around.
A pal of Baldwin's clicks the iPhone.
"You know there's a God in heaven when two men like this surround a criminal like me," says Baldwin. He looks at a reporter taking notes. "Former criminal."
A Fox News hairstylist stops Huckabee as he's leaving the greenroom. She removes a strand of his flyaway hair. "One of these days, you're going to give me some hair instead of taking it away," says Huckabee. And there are laughs all around.
This is Mike Huckabee, postelection. You think he was gonna go home to Arkansas and toss lawn darts? The man is busier than he was during the Iowa caucuses. He's sleeping four hours a night, jogging five miles a day, flogging his new book on a fifty-six-city tour. He's interviewing the occasional Baldwin, doing daily commentary for ABC Radio, signing T-shirts that read HUCK YEAH! Just four years till 2012.
The first time I meet him is the day before the Baldwin sighting. Two Huckabee volunteers are driving him from his Times Square hotel to an event in New Jersey. He's wearing a gray suit and black kangaroo boots and scrolling through his BlackBerry. He looks young for fifty-three, if a bit more slope-shouldered than I expected. Today he's got a speaking gig at a fundraiser for the New Jersey Family Policy Council to promote his book Do the Right Thing.
The book tells his unlikely tale: A barely known former Arkansas governor and onetime Baptist pastor most famous for writing a diet book suddenly becomes front-runner if only briefly for the Republican nomination for president. It's an inspirational tale. You want to win the Iowa caucuses? You don't need big money. All you need is a combination of hardcore conservative values, economic populism, a self-deprecating sense of humor, a TV ad with Chuck Norris, some Wall Street bashing, pheasant hunting, and a Tonight Show appearance with you jamming on bass guitar.
Huckabee also spells out his plan to fix the Republican party. The short answer: Return to conservative moral values, including an emphasis on pro-life issues and a ban on gay marriage, and stop spending money like Democrats. Oh, and gag Mitt Romney. Huckabee caused a mini firestorm by taking a couple of uncharacteristically harsh swipes at Romney, whom he considered phony and high-handed. ("He was usually accompanied by a phalanx of eager young aides who bullied their way through events as if they were all carrying badges, guns, and the authority to move the 'little people' out of Mitt's way. It did not go unnoticed by other candidates or by the 'little people' who spoke with open contempt of the treatment.")
Huckabee salts the pages with his trademark borscht-belt one-liners. At one point, he slams his fellow Republicans for flip-flopping. They "change positions as easily as Cher can change costumes in one of her many farewell tours." The Baptist in him apparently had a pang of guilt over the unkind words. The next sentence reads: "I think Cher is on her third or fourth 'Farewell Tour' saying good-bye is a hard thing to do, and frankly, it would be a shame if she did quit given that I have to admit that her show is an amazing blend of rock concert, circus and fashion show."
As we head toward the Lincoln Tunnel, I ask him if he really enjoyed the Cher concert.
"It was an incredible show. One of the best I've ever seen."
"You could have been the only straight male there."
Huckabee laughs. "See? See how tolerant I am?"
In the week before the interview, I'd been told the same thing by a dozen people: He'll charm you. And half an hour in, I've already been sucked in. He's the most likable politician I've ever met. Here he is, one of the most conservative voices in a couple of decades. He's a four-star general in the battle against gay marriage. He's fervently pro-life and is dubious about Darwinism. He disciplined his kids with corporal punishment and he loves his guns. And yet, when you're with him, he's so damn folksy and kind and self-deprecating that the liberal media (i.e., me) just want to hug him.
On The View, lefty Joy Behar recently called him her "favorite Republican." A couple of weeks before our interview, he gave a speech at Brown University and got a standing ovation. Brown! That Maoist collective in Rhode Island. "I thought I was going to get pied," he says, shaking his head. If Sarah Palin is a pit bull, Huckabee is a Labrador retriever. As our car crawls out of the tunnel and onto the packed New Jersey Turnpike, one of the volunteers Paul, who manages a private jet asks him about his fitness. Huckabee has run four marathons. How'd he do it? "I made a list of twenty-six people who had made a special difference in my life in some way," Huckabee says. "I dedicated a mile to each one and I told them in advance mile thirteen is yours, mile twenty-one, and so on. Then I put their names on a little card, and I laminated it so it wouldn't get destroyed in the sweat. You just can't quit, 'cause you would be choking on somebody's mile and you'd have to go back and tell them."
Our car is barely moving. Which is terrible for Huckabee but great for me, since it gives me time to grill him about the future of the Republican party. Or maybe the Republican parties. Because that's the big problem. It seems that there are two factions: the social conservatives, who, as someone once said, cling to guns and religion, and the economic conservatives, who worship at the altar of free market.
The two don't really go together logically. In fact, you could argue as libertarians do that laissez-faire economics actually go more logically with laissez-faire morals: Keep the government out of both.
Huckabee disagrees. To him, the two big poles of Republicanism actually align perfectly.
"The cost of government is directly related to the character of people," he says. In an immoral society, one filled with crime, addiction, and divorce, the government has to shell out for jail beds, drug counselors, and social workers. If people stop sinning, he argues, the government will shrink to practically nothing. He's calling for nothing less than a great moral awakening.
Finally, we pull up to the Marriott Hotel in Whippany and are escorted to a private room filled with gift bags, hors d'oeuvres, and men wearing American-flag ties. Huckabee sits at a table signing books for the big donors and chatting amiably.
"Hello, Mike Huckabee, how are you?" he begins. "Really 'preciate you being here...God bless you...Hello, Mike Huckabee...An honor to be here...I apologize for being late. Two and a half hours of traffic. I was thinking, Does the Lord want me to be here?...Oh, thank you. They're kangaroo boots."
After forty-five minutes and several dozen God-bless-yous, it's time for dinner. One of the volunteers plays a four-note xylo-phone that announces, "Please get your asses into the dining room now." Huckabee asks, "May I?" and plays it himself. Ding-ding-ding-ding! The girl turns red and giggles.

I went to JCPenney Optical for an eye exam. When I asked for my PD measurements (pupillary distance), they claimed it was information that they don't give to their clients. The reason? They would rather you spend over inflated money on their glasses and frames rather then go online to get glasses at a much much more reasonable price. From the moment that JCPenney realized that I was going to get my glasses on line rather then purchase a pair of their over priced glasses, they treated me like a smelly bum who just walked in off the street.
If you want your PD, I suggest going to WalMart Optical where they will have no problem giving you your PD, with a dis-claimer that they are not responsible if you decide to order glasses on line. In fact I found their prices and service much more reasonable and friendly. You may decide to order an extra pair or two from WalMart who's prices are slightly more then online.

Blue Room Ideas
True bluewhether of the sky or navy varietyis one of the most versatile decorating hues.
Blue Flooring
In the living area of a Martha's Vineyard home, furnishings are awash in a sea of blues, but slight variations in tone and subtle patchwork motifs take the place of sharply contrasting patterns and hues. A patchwork rug from Nomadic Trading Company anchors the living area, furnished with linen sofas and a wingback chair by Cisco. The glass top on Groundwork's reclaimed-oak coffee table displays a collage of vintage art.

Laguna is a gorgeous rose. I have had mine now for 6 years and every year it just gets better and better. It is not cane hardy here but once it is pruned in the spring the new growth is wonderful, the repeat lasts all summer, well into fall. Valerie |
Thanks I did not see the thread on this rose below. I am going to be in Tx this summer and I noticed that Chamblees carries Laguna, so I thought I might pick one up. |

Manti Te'o saw his first extensive action on Sunday, a career-high 43 snaps during the Chargers' 27-17 loss to the rival Oakland Raiders.
He was aggressive, flying to the ball when defending the run and somewhat controlled when covering the pass. He didn't do a whole lot of the latter, being taken off the field when the Chargers deferred to their sub-packages against 11 personnel, but that'll change soon. He'll be getting more snaps, according to head coach Mike McCoy.

Don't really like it but at the same time I don't have much to complaint about. It doesn't really work as an eyeliner, the color is not saturated enough so I can never get a clear line. I use it as an eyeshadow instead.
I bought this pencil in white because I needed a white eyeliner for my lower waterline. But I was very disappointed at the quality of this liner. The texture is very soft so it is very hard to get any color on to my waterline. I bought a white eyeliner from Majolica a few days later and it worked great so I know it's not just my eyes but the quality of the liner. I got this product for a fairly cheap price so I think I'm just going to toss it out since I have no use for it. Definitely won't be buying it again.
I bought this since it had no glitter (unlike my majorlica majorca one which I do like a lot) and it wasn't very expensive.
At first I thought it was probably due to the fact that my eyes were watering a lot so I couldn't get very might colour on my waterline. But now that I recovered from my cold and my eyes are somewhat back to normal the colour still doesn't go on very well.
Also I compared it to my other white liner and it goes on fine, so its probably the eyeliner not my eyes. I'm sorta disappointed since I liked canmake products, but this just didn't work out very well.
I have this product in white. I had high hopes for it since it is a Canmake (made in Japan) product, but this has left me sorely disappointed. It is WAY TOO SOFT and squishy to even be used. The tip breaks off with just a light touch. Needless to say, it can't even hold up to draw a proper straight line. It seemed like eyeshadow squeezed into a pencil! Thankfully I bought it at a discounted price, around SGD$8 (US$5.70).
Will be throwing it into the freezer to see if it makes any difference...
I got this in white because i've always wanted to get a white liner for my waterline to brighten up my eyes. So, i thought i'd get this to test if i like the look of having a white waterline. AND i actually really like this product. It applys quite smoothly and does give the illusion of awake and bigger eyes. But any white eyeliner can do that...
what i really like about this is that its not a matte white. When applied... it's a pearly white color that really looks amazing especially when the light hits your face, because it just makes your eyes sparkle...haha.. Also, Its doesn't seem like a very pigmented color when u apply it on your waterline just because its not really a white.
The packaging is really cheap. haha.. just looks like a typical eyeliner.. nothing that'll really attract you to it.. and.. if i run out.. i'll definitely buy this again.. or maybe try other white liners :P
I have it in white. I didnt like this pencil a lot, because the texture is too soft, wich makes it really not very nice to apply, especially on lower eyelid.

And this was BEFORE he went to army--and we all know the very basic math rule you can apply to Korean Men. Post Army=sexy x 8. Now that he's doing very well in Big, we are happy to report, Army did not disappoint us.
Gong Yoo has this cuteness quotient which is just heart-melty. It's his 'I'm about to cause trouble but you're going to forgive me anyway' smile. He's really good looking but not in a way which seems artificial. Doesn't he give off a vibe that he'd just be fun to hang out with?
Cool Guy+melty heart? I believe we have a winner!

San Diego
San Diego, CA, 92109, United States
Housed inside the Tower23 Hotel, JRDN Lounge and Raw Bar is a colorful restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor space that serves cocktails, wines, small plates, and seafood. The bar has views of the ocean, and the handful of white stools there are always occupied. The ever-changing, color lighting from the adjacent JRDN restaurant adds to the atmosphere and gives the space an almost club-like feel. Behind the bar, the bartenders mix classic cocktails, and a flatscreen TV shows the latest sporting events.
Insider Tip:
Don't come to JRDN just for cocktails. The California cuisine served in the restaurant definitely warrants a stop there for dinner.

Terence Stamp wants oysters, but not just any oysters. ''If they have Westcott Bay petites, they are the finest oysters I have ever eaten,'' the actor says, scanning a menu at the Oyster Bar in New York's Grand Central station. He's wearing a Hawaiian shirt, but not just any Hawaiian shirt. Made from silk of muted sage, it was sent by a friend from the Islands. ''I said to her that I wanted one really great Hawaiian shirt,'' he says, ''as good as any in Tom Selleck's collection.''
Lean and taut at 60, with a stare like a blue flame, Stamp is not a gentleman who settles for second best. ''The ideal thing would be to follow Terence's social schedule,'' says director Steven Soderbergh, who sought out the London native for the lead in his mesmerizing new film, The Limey. ''Go to the restaurants he goes to. Hang out with the people he hangs out with. Go to the clothing stores he shops at. Your life would be elevated.'' Ever since Stamp blazed through Swingin' London in the 1960s squiring starlets like Julie Christie, bonding with Michael Caine and Fellini he's been as famous for his fine living as for his fine acting. He's had one of the most mercurial careers in cinema. There have been killer roles: the angelic sailor in Billy Budd (which earned him a 1962 Oscar nod), the demonic General Zod in Superman and Superman II, the tough-as-Streisand's-nails trannie in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the smarmy guru in Bowfinger. There have been long reveries, too, years when Stamp was organically farming in Ibiza or spiritually seeking in India.
The Limey puts the seeker back in the spotlight. Stamp plays Wilson, a Cockney ex-con who flies to California to kick the arse of the bloke responsible for his daughter's death. The trail of blood leads to a scaly record exec played by another Age of Aquarius refugee: Easy Rider's Peter Fonda. It's like a face-off between the Kinks and the Byrds. Which is pretty cosmic, if you want to get all Haight-Ashbury about it. ''There's a real kismet about Fonda and I, because we spent a rather riotous night together in Sicily,'' says Stamp, still a bachelor, recalling one '60s romp. ''I thought he would be a very fun guy to work with.'' ''We were wonderfully bad boys,'' Fonda slyly remembers.
Maybe it's apt that the karmic connection took more than 30 years to come full circle: In The Limey, Stamp and Fonda play men grappling with lost time. ''What's so elegant about this movie is that by casting us, Steven's plugged in to a whole collective memory,'' Stamp says. ''Fonda and I bring so much baggage.'' Indeed, whenever Wilson has a memory of his younger self, The Limey flashes back to footage from Poor Cow, a 1967 Ken Loach drama starring...Terence Stamp. ''You see him in the '60s and he's so beautiful you can't believe it,'' Soderbergh says. ''For my money, I had the best visual effect in the world: a close-up of Terence Stamp.''
As for more sweeping optical wizardry, well, Stamp did have a cameo in The Phantom Menace as Chancellor Valorum, universal dignitary. ''Ohhh, it was pretty standard, you know,'' he laughs, dabbing horseradish on a gleaming mollusk. ''I have a scene with Natalie Portman, but George Lucas had given her the day off, so I was just performing to a bit of paper nailed to a post.'' In fact, Stamp hasn't actually seen his contribution to the Star Wars saga. ''I went to see the first movie because of Harrison Ford,'' he explains. ''Harrison had a wonderful sense of irony that, according to the critics, is totally missing from the new one.'' And after all, why settle for second best?

FutureMark 3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming performance benchmark from Futuremark, newly designed for Windows Vista and DirectX10. It includes two new graphics tests, two new CPU tests, several new feature tests, and support for the latest hardware.
3DMark Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft.

The GameRigs Ego is first and foremost a gaming system and it does a very good job pushing the pixels given the target price point.
From the makers of Far Cry, Crysis offers FPS fans the best-looking, most highly-evolving gameplay, requiring the player to use adaptive tactics and total customization of weapons and armor to survive in dynamic, hostile environments including Zero-G.
Real time editing, bump mapping, dynamic lights, network system, integrated physics system, shaders, shadows and a dynamic music system are just some of the state of-the-art features the CryENGINE 2 offers. The CryENGINE 2 comes complete with all of its internal tools and also includes the CryENGINE 2 Sandbox world editing system.
We tested the Ego in High mode across various resolutions. Crysis is a difficult game to run at high resolutions for anything other than flagship systems. The Ego is able to play the game at lower resolutions, but once eye candy is enabled or you start running the pixel count up, the system starts to struggle.
PT Boats
PT Boats: Knights of the Sea is a naval action simulator that places gamers in charge of a mosquito fleet of the Allied Forces, Russia or Germany during the height of World War II.
Using the latest Direct X 10 technology PT Boards - Knights of the Sea manages to apply a lot of stress to the components of today which in turn gives us quite an intensive benchmark.
PT Boats is another DirectX10 benchmark that can wreck havoc on a gaming system. Here we see strong performance at up to 1920x1200.

President Obama gave the FCC his blessing this week to use its regulatory authority to pre-empt state laws prohibiting cities and towns from building broadband networks, but the agency will face opposition.
In a surprise move, Sprint counters its industry brethren by saying the FCC's plan won't prevent it from further investing in its broadband network.
With a vote looming on new rules for Internet access, Tom Wheeler talks candidly with CNET News in an exclusive interview about legal challenges, President Obama's role and being the butt of late-night TV jokes.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announces the date to a CES crowd, indicating that the proposal on the table will include reclassifying broadband as a utility.
Commentary: After years of delay, the FCC seems poised to switch vendors for the local telephone number portability database. That could be a big mistake.
The head of the Federal Communications Commission will submit a proposal for new Internet regulations in the coming weeks.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler believes online video services should have the same access to content as cable companies, and he has proposed tweaking regulation to ensure that happens.
Federal Communications Commission's decision to clarify what it means by "reasonable" rates for wireless data roaming could result in stronger wireless competition.
Chairman Tom Wheeler makes his case for higher-speed Internet access in schools, proposing a plan to increase the monthly fee in phone bills by 16 cents to cover new investment.
The agency is expected to announce on Monday a plan to boost spending on broadband funding for schools and libraries by 62 percent.

Has anyone ever grown this? I bought the seeds last year from Veseys. It's not what came up. The one that came up has cherry red with tububular flowers with a white throat. I emailed them and they said it was the same penstemon barbatus but it looks more like the penstemon hartwegii that I saw in the William Dam catalogue. The reason I didn't think it was the barbatus, was that the description said it had glaucous foiage. Mine didn't. I was just wondering if anyone else had grown it and gotten something completely different? Veseys did end up giving me a credit. Marg |

Hi Marg, I grow it and yes you can't really tell by in the photo but the leaves do have a blue tinge to it. No white throats. I got the seeds from Veseys and winter sowed Feb 18/07. Sharon |
Hi Sharon. Thanks for the reply. Now I know for sure that mine is not the penstemon barbatus, there is no blue in the foliage at all. The main reason I wanted that one was because I thought it would be a good hummingbird plant. Now I'll just have to wait and see if mine will survive the winter since Dams has theirs listed as an annual. I wanted to collect seeds last year (it flowered nonstop) but it was just to wet. Thanks again. Marg |

Noticed Veseys says zone 4, hmmm, well I really wish these catalogues would include us zone 2 gardeners. P. barbatus are very hardy here too. Wonderful perennials for the hummers. Sharon |
