This vine has all the characteristics of a raspberry bush except it is a vine. It has thorns and the berries are in a little round flat clump. The berries are about 1/8" and turn black. The birds must have pooped a seed behind some bushes in my garden. Also (I told you I was new to gardening) I have a huge raspberry type vine growing in the other side of my garden. It is alot bigger than the one pictured and no berries. Do raspberries vine out? This vine has runners 5'.I have a bunch of wild raspberry bushes in my back yard and they do not vine out like these bushes. Any help is appreciated.

Is that a bittersweet? Sarah |
- Posted by bluebirdbabe z5 MI (My Page) on Tue, Jul 19, 05 at 14:15
Sarah, I have no idea what it is. I don't think it is bittersweet because it has thorns all along the stem. The berries will turn black as there is another cluster back further on the vine that have turned black. I have searched and searched and I can't find anything like it. Like I said it looks just like a raspberry bush except the berries are really different. I hope someone knows what it is. If the birds like it, I will move it from behind my other bushes. It is a very pretty vine. |
I have seen Rubus allegheniensis (common black raspberry) canes that were 15' long. I think that's what you have. |
I think so too. I have seen it in the wild pretty often around Montreal, in abandoned farmlands, etc. And some blackberries species or varieties can be trained to grow more or less like a vine. |

Apr 28th 2011 9:09PM If you hit "command-L" iTunes will take you instantly to the currently playing track, in whatever playlist or non-playlist you started playing from, then just hit pause, answer the phone, and unpause to resume where you left off.
Alternatively there are a few menu bar apps that let you play/pause/skip using the menu bar or customizable keyboard commands. Personally I use iTracks, and it works well, and is cheap on the Mac App Store.
Dear Aunt TUAW: Why does iTunes hate me? {TUAW.com}
Apr 28th 2011 9:05PM I would recommend against this method as it will cause all of your tracks to remember the location where you stopped playing them previously. Meaning that if you pause, stop, or skip in the middle of the track iTunes will pick up in the middle again the next time it's played. Be that minutes, weeks, or months later. Of course it resets if the track is played all the way through.
This option is mostly used for very long audio tracks, like podcasts, movies, or audiobooks, and isn't really meant to be used for music,

Reading several messages on -dev following the recent council election, I have the impression that in future some of the things that used to be discussed at the council level (like working out EAPI details) will be delegated to the PMS project. Therefore, I think that we should organise the Gentoo side of the project better. Having a project lead would be a good start. I suggest Christian Faulhammer as PMS project lead. Ulrich

Honda Motor Compo Scooter Screams "I'm Geekier Than You, Segway Guy!"
I am always surprised when the Tokyo Motor Show rolls around each year, as I tend to see as many things that aren't cars than new cars themselves. Case in point – Honda is showing off a new electric scooter at the show called the Motor Compo. This folding scooter is designed to slip into the back of a small car that Honda was showing at the show as well.
It seems the idea is that the larger car can drive you from home to as close to your destination as possible. If you are the sort that doesn't like exercise, you could then pop the Motor Compo scooter out of the car, unfold it, and cruise to your final destination. This sort of scooter is a nice last-mile option.
Once you get where you are going you can fold the scooter back up and take it with you. The downside is you will look like a Shriner in a TRON movie riding this thing. I would certainly laugh and point – especially if you wear a electroluminescent fez on your head to complete the look.
The two-wheel scooter is front-wheel drive, and has a built-in smartphone dock, which would also provide information on the bike's speed and battery levels. At this point, Honda gives no indication of the driving range or charge time for the Motor Compo, or if it will ever come to market.

I have had this plant for around 4 years, and have divided it a few times. This year, one has flowered quite peculiarly! I think it is a double(or more)flower? Does this happen often?
Is this something I can hope to expect on any offsets this one may produce? Or do you think it might be a one-of? I am quite liking the effect.

Hi BA, That looks pretty spectacular, does it have a perfume like Cyanea and if so, is the perfume on the double flower any stronger than a single flower? I know, questions, questions, questions, but then I am only a boy (old) and still learning. All the best, Nev. |
Wait until all the flowers open. It may be just an anomaly. |

Its had 3 blooms the same so far, and it always smells of cloves in the general area, but then I have another pot with two flower spikes (normal) It is so warm in there, and bright and the smell is sensational. I shall have another sniff tomorrow and see if I can detect any difference, although I suspect that once I sniff one, my nose won't work as well when I sniff the next. Thanks PB for the Email. I had seen Neo flower abnormalities in this forum once before I think, and I'm pretty sure you showed me some the last visit? Anyone got Tills or other doing strange things? What about Bills? Do they throw double flowers? Wouldn't that be something? BA |

January 16, 1978, ca. 1,600 items [not including almost 1,700 slides and photos]; Papers (1914-1973) of Baptist missionary to China and Taiwan, including correspondence, reports, photographs, pamphlets and miscellaneous. Gift of Mr. Fred Hyatt, Greensboro, N.C.

Processed by C. Cook; J Smith, December 1983
Encoded by Apex Data Services
Ola V. Lea (b. 1892), a Baptist missionary to Southern China and Taiwan for thirty-seven years, was born in Ringgold, Va., and educated at Radford Normal School and Virginia Intermont College, Bristol, Va. Beginning in 1912 she spent seven years teaching in public schools before entering the Women's Missionary Training School. Following graduation in 1925 she accepted her first assignment teaching in Soochow, China, until 1939, when she became principal of the Women's Missionary Union Training School in Shanghai. Later she served as Dean of Women at China Baptist Theological Seminary in Kaifeng, remaining in China through the Japanese invasion (1939-40) and the Chinese civil war (1947-1949). The World War II years (1941-1945), however, were spent stateside.
The Communist takeover in 1949 forced her removal to Taipei, Taiwan, where she continued her missionary work as an assistant professor at the National Taiwan University Hospital until her retirement in 1962. During regular furloughs and after retirement, Miss Lea continued her studies and lectured about her work at various churches and church camps throughout the U.S. Following retirement she made her home with her sister in Greensboro, N.C.
The bulk of the correspondence in the collection consists of newsletters sent to Miss Lea by missionaries stationed throughout the world. These newsletters contain information about local political, social, and economic conditions, as well as discussions of progress made in the missionary field- including accounts of particularly touching conversions.
Early correspondence (1925-1932) reflects activities at Soochow Station, including the operation of Yates School, legal efforts to close the school, and church services at the mission. Several letters refer to the Japanese occupation of China (1939-1945) and the subsequent civil war (1947-49). They describe conditions in Japanese-occupied Canton (June 3, 1939) and the evacuation of approximately one-fourth of the Foreign Mission Board missionaries in the Orient; the daily raids on Shiuchow (April 13, 1941); difficulties between missionaries and government authorities, such as the "Freezing," or the seizure of the Christian's property by Japanese (Feb. 22, 1944); the evacuation of missionaries due to the Japanese occupation (September 26, 1944); wartime inflation, Baptist activities in China, and the evacuation of Kwelin (Oct. 24, 1944); liaison positions between Chinese and American forces which were held by a number of missionaries in Chungking (Jan. 17, 1945); impressions of the effects of war on Shanghai (April 29, 1946); the evacuation process (Oct., 1950); the difficulty of obtaining exit permits and the imprisonment of missionaries (Jan. 22, 1951); incidents of torture and execution in northwestern China (Jun 4, 1951); the trial of three pastors and the imprisonment of others (Sept. 5, 1951); a radio appeal for aid to mainland China made by President and Madame Chiang (April 4, 1952); and daily bombings of Quemoy (Fall, 1963).
Other letters describe a Chinese pastor's opinion on the positive effects of communism on the Christian movement (Dec., 1966); Indonesian attitudes toward religion and religious tolerance (Dec., 1966); the Hindu Diwali or Festival of Lights (Dec., 1965); the effects of a drought in Jordan (Mar., 1959); the political and economic situation in Indonesia (Mar. 31, 1967); and National Taiwan University's religious policy of "benevolent neutrality" (Nov. 3, 1950).
Additional correspondence from Miss Lea's friends, family, and church groups reflects their interest in and support of her missionary work. Family letters deal primarily with the illness of one of Miss Lea's sisters, while friends write of their travels and missionary experiences and of the esteem in which they hold missionaries who travel to foreign countries to spread Christianity. Of interest is a series of letters (1940s) which discuss various people's horror at the prospects of the institution of a drinking water fluoridation program in North Carolina.
Among Miss Lea's notebooks (1930-1962) are volumes containing notes pertaining to Bible and Sunday school classes, chapel talks, Southern Baptist Convention sessions, Chinese vocabulary, and a variety of other topics.
The collection includes a large number of photographs and slides. The photographs are mostly of churches, schools, and groups of teachers and students. Many of the slides in the collection were produced by the Foreign Mission Board and depict the life and scenery in several southeastern Asian countries. Notable among the slides of Japan are view of ground zero at the Hiroshima City Hall, the National Diet Building in Tokyo, and Kin Kakuii in Kyoto, possibly just after it was rebuilt. Slides of Hong Kong include depictions of refugee shacks, the Dragon Festival, warships and a Buddhist temple. Many photographs of Buddhas are present, including good examples from Taiwan and Thailand. The Taiwan/Formosa slide series is particularly interesting in that it includes Taiwanese street scenes, a farmer plowing rice fields with a water buffalo, agricultural terracing, and several views of a Confucian temple which shows the amalgamation of the Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist religions.
The one filmstrip in the collection is a promotional aid for the China Baptist Seminary in Kaifeng. A cassette tape (1975), distributed by the World Literature Crusade, mentions that organization's methods of raising money for missionary programs.
An oversized folder contains photographs of wedding parties, and a student group.
The map file contains a street map of Taipei, a colorful map of Taiwan annotated in Chinese, and a map (1932) of mission locations in China.
The following terms have been used to index the description of this collection in the Reading Room's card catalog. This system is no longer maintained, but it is left in place to help on-site researchers locate particular topics in the collection.

Islamic Jihad Group commander reported killed in Predator strike
A screen shot from an Islamic Jihad Group video that shows the training of children for jihad. Image courtesy of The Jawa Report. |
A senior commander in the al Qaeda-linked Islamic Jihad Group is thought to have been killed in one of four Predator airstrikes carried out yesterday by the US in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan.
The "Uzbek commander" who is known as Qureshi is believed to have been killed in the second of two airstrikes that took place in the Datta Khel area in North Waziristan, according to a report in Adnkronos International. The US also launched two other attacks yesterday on targets on the outskirts of Miramshah, the main town in the tribal agency.
Qureshi "used to receive foreigners especially the Germans in North Waziristan and then train them and resend them to their country of origins," according to AKI.
US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal said they were aware of reports of Qureshi's death and were seeking to verify. The officials would not comment on the target of the strikes. AKI reported that members of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Pakistani terror group that is closely allied with al Qaeda and receives support from elements of Pakistan's military and intelligence service, were targeted along with the Islamic Jihad Group.
The Islamic Jihad Group (also known as the Islamic Jihad Union) is a splinter faction of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. The Islamic Jihad Group is based out of the Mir Ali region and maintains close ties with al Qaeda leader Abu Kasha al Iraqi, and with North Waziristan Taliban commander Hafiz Gul Bahadar, who controls the Datta Khel region. It is a Specially Designated Global Terrorist organization.
German and Turkish Muslims make up a significant portion of the Islamic Jihad Group. Its fighters are often referred to as German Taliban, and they carry out attacks in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Last year, the Islamic Jihad Group released video of 'German Taliban villages' in Waziristan. Its fighters were seen training at camps and conducting military operations.
German members of the Islamic Jihad Union have also been killed in combat inside Pakistan. Eric Breininger, a German man who converted to Islam, was killed while assaulting a Pakistani military outpost in North Waziristan on April 28. Three Uzbek fighters were also killed in the attack. Breininger was wanted for plotting attacks against US military bases and personnel in Germany.
Turkish members of the Islamic Jihad Group were also reported killed along with an al Qaeda commander in a US Predator strike in North Waziristan on June 19.
Americans have also joined the Islamic Jihad Group. Over the past year, two American jihadists, Abu Ibrahim al Amriki and Sayfullah al Amriki, have been featured in propaganda released by the Islamic Jihad Group.
The Islamic Jihad Group has been the target of several US airstrikes in Pakistan's tribal areas. The US killed Najmuddin Jalolov, the leader of the Islamic Jihad Group, in a Predator airstrike in North Waziristan on Sept. 14, 2009.
READER COMMENTS: "Islamic Jihad Group commander reported killed in Predator strike"
Posted by JT at September 9, 2010 2:51 PM ET:
Hopefully the response to these strikes will uncover more intel on the locations of even higher value targets. Here's hoping some HVTs get captured rather than taken out with a drone strike.
Posted by kp at September 9, 2010 9:02 PM ET:
The only HVTs I think we would be willing to go "boots on the ground" in Pakistan for would be AQSL (including Mullah Omar).
There may be a couple of others there too (Mehsud?) though I suspect we'd prefer just to kill those guys.
These strikes were a good in themselves: taking out leadership in IJG and probably some of their German and Turkish fighters and their safe houses. It looks like the US is trying to limit their potential for external operations in the West.
Interesting that none of this is Haqqani network people.
I wonder if ops in Afghanistan (like those that took out the IMUJ leader) are related to this (they're a splinter group).

Warriors & Warbirds Museum Saves Vietnam Cargo Plane – Soon To Fly!
WARBIRD RADIO – Congratulations to our friends at the Warriors & Warbirds museum in Monroe, North Carolina. Warriors & Warbirds recently acquired a rare Fairchild C-123K Provider. According to a recent statement "Warriors & Warbirds is pleased to officially introduce our newest member of the fleet. The Ponderous Polly C-123K Provider." The Provider was first designed as an assault glider for the United States Air Force and later developed into a powered multi-role transport platform. Many C-123's were scrapped after service in the Vietnam War due to one of their primary missions, spraying Agent Orange defoliant. Warriors & Warbirds hopes to have their C-123K back in Monroe, North Carolina for their annual air show this November.

Think You're Cold? Take A Look At These Airmen – It's 27 Below Zero!
WARBIRD RADIO – Think you're cold? Take a look at this! It's 6:30 a.m., 27 degrees below zero and the sky remains dark. According to a recent news release, Senior Airman Taylor Lancaster heads to his locker to sort his gear and make sure he has everything ready to begin work in the frigid weather.On top of multiple layers, he wears thick coveralls and heavy duty boots that allow him to trudge through ice and snow. His face is guarded by a face shield and shatter proof snow goggles. After being at Minot Air Force Base for more than three years, Lancaster, a 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron aircraft crew chief, has worked on his jet enough to know exactly what to do once it lands. "Every jet is different, especially in the cold," Lancaster said. "I love working on my jet because when it lands I already know what needs to be serviced." At roll call, the maintenance team gathers together where they are told what jets need repairs. They then head to the tool crib to load the equipment they'll need for the day. Each crew chief is assigned a specific jet they are responsible for maintaining, although they all work together to meet the needs of the mission.Around 8:30 a.m. the sun begins to rise, allowing the flight line to defrost ever so slightly as the cold weather and ice lingers. "During the winter, what would normally be a 10 minute job takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour," Lancaster said. Some of Minot's harshest winter days can cause things on the jets to break more easily, meaning more work for maintenance Airmen. Because temperatures are known to potentially reach dangerous lows, maintenance members implement the buddy system to ensure safety while getting the mission done. "Training new Airmen can be a bit of a task when winter time rolls around," he said. "Since it's so cold, we can only spend so long out there before we have to go back inside and warm up." Although the job can be tough at times, Lancaster tries to remind newer Airmen the mission is important. "Sometimes it's hard to see the big picture when we're out there working in these kinds of temperatures, but we have to remember what we're doing is meaningful," he added. Once the weather reaches 45 degrees below zero, maintenance on certain sections of the flight line will temporarily shut down. However, because temperatures read differently across the flight line, the team's duty is to now provide maintenance for a different aircraft. Currently, Lancaster is working to get flight certified, which will provide him the opportunity to fly with the aircrew and work on the jet as soon as it lands. "I wanted to do this because it gets me more involved," Lancaster said. "It's a great feeling to be able to get up in the jet that I worked on and take off with the aircrew." With three years under his belt, Lancaster hasn't made any final decisions on whether he's going to re-enlist, but the future seems to be getting brighter. "It was hard for me to really look ahead when I first got here," Lancaster said. "Now that I'm comfortable, confident and getting more responsibilities handed down to me, it's making me realize that I know what I'm doing and no matter what I know I can do it." A hearty thank you to all who serve and those who have. QUICK LINK: United States Air Force Story courtesy- USAF/ Airman 1st Class Sahara L.

The Real R2-D2 Takes Flight!
WARBIRD RADIO – Tucked away in the high desert of southern New Mexico, the 96th Test Group provides some of the most sophisticated military testing in the world. Often, their innovations and technological pursuits seem like works of science fiction, such as the group's latest project dubbed affectionately as 'R2-D2.' According to a recent news release, Second Lt. Troy Biersack, a 746th Test Squadron program manager, explained the project began from a need to design a platform that could serve to perform high-dynamic testing of new GPS technology inside the 56 year-old T-38 Talon. The culmination of efforts across the 96th TG led to the creation of a rear cockpit mounted electronics package reminiscent of the beloved Star Wars' robot. "The similarities between our RCP and R2-D2 would be that it's in the rear seat and it's got this funny little cap on the top which functions as an antenna," Biersack described. "We started jokingly referring to it as R2-D2 as the project developed, and it just stuck." Building the RCP required careful coordination. The 746th TS performed program management, test management, integration of equipment and ground test data analysis, while the 846th TS managed the mechanical design and fabrication. Finally, the 586th FTS led the flight certification process and coordinated the installation and removal of the RCP. "It is a point of collective pride that the squadrons each possess such unique capabilities, yet they work so well together," Biersack said. "Our leadership is promoting innovation and cohesion. This dynamic exists across the squadrons, enabling us to quickly identify and leverage the correct talent." Biersack served as the program manager for the RCP project, overseeing each phase of development between squadrons to ensure the process was seamless. "My charge was to maintain program vector and momentum while standing clear of the experts. I was responsible for budget, for keeping it on track and holding people accountable to getting things done on time," he said. As Biersack explained, one of the unique challenges of the project was designing a rack that could fit inside the aging T-38 without negatively affecting the pre-existing conditions of the aircraft. The 746th TS developed the requirements to construct the RCP. The 846th Test Squadron then began to work on the mechanical design and fabrication of the rack. "When the fabricated rack arrived from the 846th, for us it was one of the biggest moments of the entire project," Biersack said. "It was such a great feeling to see how far we'd come, and to bear the fruits of our labor in such a tangible way." Once fabricated, the RCP then had to undergo a series of ground testing and safety reviews before it could become airborne. Erin Morgenstern, a 746th TS unit test safety manager, explained that their biggest priority was to ensure that installing the rack would not interfere with the aircraft's ejection system. "The pilots had to change their ejection settings in order for the gas lines to cooperate with the RCP," Morgenstern said. "We had to make sure there were no hazards to the aircrew upon ejection and that the equipment stayed with plane also so there could be no mid-air collisions." Finally, once the equipment had been checked out, the RCP was sent to the 586th FTS so it could be flown in the T-38 for initial flight testing. "The moment it all came to together, the big 'Kumbaya,' was the eight sorties that were flown by the 586th went off without a hitch," Biersack said. Seeing the data from our analysts showing that this rack is just as good as the rack we're replacing it with." As it all came together, the members of the RCP project could see their own little piece of science-fiction forming before their eyes. "In order to accomplish something like this, you've got to chip away at it bit by bit, piece by piece," Biersack said. "And sometimes it's amazing to just look back, pick your head up from the grind and see everything that's been accomplished."

New Zealand Catalina Set for Triumphant Return at Wanaka Air Show!
WARBIRD RADIO – New Zealand's only airworthy Catalina Flying Boat is set to make a triumphant return from major refurbishment work at next year's Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow. According to a recent news release, ZK-PBY has been a favourite at Wanaka for a number of years, especially when she lands on the lake, but was missing in 2014 because of extensive work to repair the wings and fuselage of the 70-year-old aircraft. The work has been carried out in Brett Emeny's hangar in New Plymouth by members of the New Zealand Catalina Preservation Society at a cost of around $250,000. Brett says it's great to see an end to what has been a major undertaking and the plan is to have the Catalina airborne later in the year. "We've done all the structural work on the wings and fuselage and all that remains are some fabric repairs on these two sections. We're also taking advantage of some fine weather to work on the tail which is poking out the hangar doors." "Then there's a fair bit of re-assembling work to do and we'll need to get it weighed and re-certified before we can take her out for a test flight." Brett says the plan is to have the Catalina make her first Airshow appearance since the refurbishment began, at Wanaka 2016. It will be the first time the aircraft has displayed at Wanaka since the 2010 event. Warbirds Over Wanaka Event Manager, Mandy Deans says they're excited about having ZK-PBY display next Easter and being available for the public to book rides. "We get regular calls from people asking if the Catalina is going to be at WOW and it's great to be able to tell people now that yes, subject to final availability, she will be here," said Mandy. It's expected the Catalina will be taking the public on flights during the airshow but also on the Rides Day which will be Monday, March 28th. "Rides Day gives people the opportunity to enjoy the airshow and then stay on for another day to take a flight in the Catalina and other aircraft," said Mandy. Meanwhile, if you would like to help The New Zealand Catalina Preservation Society they are always very grateful for any donations.

United States Air Force Senior Leadership – Discusses Future Plans & Key Issues
WARBIRD RADIO – Senior leadership addressed the key issues, priorities, initiatives and challenges facing the Air Force during the State of the Air Force press briefing, Jan. 15 at the Pentagon. According to a recent news release, Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, focused on the Air Force's highest priorities and said they have been working hard to balance resources and preserve combat capability in a tough fiscal environment. "Everyone wants more Air Force," James said. "We're meeting those demands with the smallest force in our history. Couple a smaller force against the backdrop of austere budgets, and you have a total force that is under significant strain: active duty, Guard, Reserve, civilian, and their families." Welsh had the same concern. "It's about some very tough decisions we have to make to recapitalize on the Air Force for the threat 10 years from now," Welsh said. "We don't have enough money last year or this coming year to fund all the things that we currently have in our force structure." While fiscal year 2015 still presents some enormous budget challenges for the Air Force, James and Welsh strongly agree enough is enough when it comes to force shaping and stated Airmen will see no involuntary boards in 2015. "We cannot go any lower," Welsh said. "We are getting too small to succeed as opposed to too big to fail." James said challenges with the budget in no way minimalize the responsibilities of the Air Force. "As Air Force demands around the world continue to increase," she said. "We cannot afford to get smaller and sacrifice capability." One of greatest demands James and Welsh addressed was intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements. "Not only do combatant commanders want more ISR, they want the globally-integrated, persistent ISR that Air Force capabilities provide," the secretary said. James and Welsh acknowledged the significant stress the high operations tempo has placed on its experienced operators. To combat that, they have developed a plan to meet combatant commander warfighting requirements while relieving some of the unrelenting strain felt by operators. The intentions of the ISR goals outlined by James and Welsh will provide near-term relief to stressed crews by implementing a number of options to immediately increase manning. The future of the Air Force continues its focus on balancing today's readiness with tomorrow's modernization. "The American people expect our Air Force to fly, fight and win against any advisory," James said. "It is important that we continue to afford our nation the Air Force capability it needs well into the future by appropriately investing in our people and in our platforms."

Review: This clip exceeded my expectations by a mile! I love to clip it in my hair (underneath a bun, at the base of a ponytail, holding my hair off my face schoolgirl-style) or to the strap of a tank top. I ha no idea I'd love it this much, and now I want more! I bought the charcoal grey, so it's subtle in my dark hair. But next time I think it'll be pink or red!

Quoted from kitari We have a Ninja Pro 1100. It makes great smoothies and frozen desserts and that's all I need it to do. Tonight I made a cherry chocolate chip frozen smoothie, 1 kinda green banana(you get the creamy without much banana taste) 10 large frozen sweet cherries, 1 cup of ice, about 10 chocolate chips and a little water. mmm mmm good.
Quoted from BCgal I have the Ninja. Very reasonable price. I got it on sale and also bought one for my daughter. We both really like it.
Quoted from Drea That sparks an idea Ruthie...Blenda!
Quoted from Chloe One guy on youtube compared all three machines.. Vitamix came out first, Blendtec second and Ninja third. But comparatively, Vitamix is the most expensive.

Music to My Ears
Woman's Day recently moved offices to a much more open space, and one of the first things I did was invest in a new pair of headphones. When the office gets too hectic and I really need to concentrate, I often find myself listening to white noise (at simplynoise.com), but much of the time I just listen to music via Pandora. And I've noticed that doing so makes me feel a lot better.
The idea that music can improve your mood seems like a no-brainer, but it turns out there's actually research to back it up, and some of it specifically focuses on music in the workplace. One study, from the Australian Journal of Music Therapy, focused on customer service specialists at a call center. Another, published in Psychology of Music, looked at computer information systems developers. These studies found that listening to music lowers anxiety levels, increases feelings of relaxation, and even leads to improved work performance.
The type of music you listen to doesn't make much of a difference, says Lisa Gallagher, music therapy program manager at the Arts & Medicine Institute in Lyndhurst, OH. "Preference is the most important factor. If someone doesn't like the music, then it's not going to be effective for him/her," she explains. "That being said, music at 60 beats per minute is the ideal tempo for relaxation."
How long do you have to listen to reap the benefits? "It can take time for us to relax or feel better when listening to music, or one song can do it—if it's the right song," says Gallagher. "For instance, if a song comes on the radio that we really like or brings about a positive memory from our past, we could cheer up immediately. I have also used one particular song as my 'relaxation song,' playing it whenever I want to relax or be in a better mood. I have done this so frequently that my body recognizes that song and relaxes as soon as I hear it."
Do you have a favorite "cheer up" or "relaxation" song of your own?

What Did Harry Styles Think of Taylor Swift's Brit Awards Performance?
Harry Styles is taking the high road again! After his ex Taylor Swift's sexy performance of 'I Knew You Were Trouble,' where she first donned a white wedding-esque gown then ripped it off to reveal this daring black outfit underneath at the Brit Awards last night, Harry had nothing but nice things to say.
When UsWeekly caught up with Harry at an after-party last night, he said Taylor was "Great! She always puts on a good show."
Harry also had nice things to say about her recent Grammy Awards performance, where many people thought she dissed him.
Just in case you thought Harry couldn't get any cuter, he reportedly brought along his mom as his date for last night's awards, where he performed with One Direction.

I have a problem... I over exfoliate and my skin is now hypersensitive so I breakout at the first sign of anything that my skin doesn't. Like... makes no sense and it's my fault but anyway my story is this... when I first had my breakout it was from using clarisonic a little too much and too long. So I went to rhe bobbi brown counter for some help and they gave me a sample of the extra repair serum and cream to try and my skin loved it. It cleared me up and so I bought a full size. I got a breakout again much after I was done using them up so I reordered them again. Well this time it did not help at all since my skin was in a pretty bad shape. I had to go to the doctor's and get a shot and some steroid pills and cream which cleared it up. I also got a dml forte cream from the doctors and I think it helps to keep my skin safe from breakouts and moisturized. The serum is like a lotion aand is really moiturizing and smells really nice. If you have normal to dry skin I think you will love it.

I really like this serum. The best thing about it, my face isn't dehydrated now.
Oily creams will not help with dehydration. They only give me pimples. Oily, heavy creams are for dry skin, skin lacking oil, not water.
My skin could easily be considered sensitive, but it's biggest issue is dehydration. When my skin becomes dehydrated my skin retaliates with dryness, redness, sensitivity, and sometimes pimples. Makeup associates repeatedly tell me, "You have dry skin." I actually have oily skin, maybe now that I am older it's becoming more combination, but it's not dry. It's dehydrated. Dry skin lacks oils. Dehydrated skin lacks water. My environment is stripping away my skin's water. Drinking more water helps, but as someone else said, that's like trying to cure your thirst by soaking in the bath.
I agree with the other good reviews. This serum helps you keep your skin hydrated. (Before I started my current routine, my makeup would dry out and look patchy instead of smooth on my face. This was my skin soaking up the moisture that was in my foundation.)
Now, after washing my face or showering, I barely pat it dry. Before drying the rest of me, as quick as possible, definitely within 2 minutes, I apply Bobbi Brown Extra Repair, then I use Luzern Force De Vie Micro Gel (it's lightweight, hydrating, and calming). My final step is to apply InfiniteAloe. All these steps lock in the moisture.
No dryness, no redness, no pimples. This is what works for me. My face isn't greasy. It feels smooth, and soft. Everyone is different. Hope this helps.

This serum is amazing . Was so glad to see everyone else agrees . I'm quiet oily but I don't find this to rich or heavy it doesn't sit on top of my skin it's hydrates my dehydration and gives my skin a glow without looking oily. I only use this at night but it's a fabulous serum I also love the smell Coubre x

I absolutely love this serum. I am currently obsessed with finding the perfect skincare routine, and this product will definitely make the final cut. I have combination skin with normal tzone and dry cheeks/undereye area. If that's not frustrating enough, my skin gets insanely dehydrated as well. (Thanks to a friend's dermatologist, I recently learned the important difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin and it has made a huge difference in my skincare routine). Instead of piling on heavy moisturizers, she suggested using a serum with hydrating properties to address my dehydration issues (along with lots of fluids and healthy diet). I ran across this serum on Nordstrom's website, and being a big fan of BB's Extra repair foundation and eye cream, I read the product description and decided to order it. It was a hefty $108 bucks, but nowadays that seems not so bad for an effective serum (scary I know). The first time I used it I was hooked. It's more the consistency of a thin lotion rather than a serum, and it feels like silk. My skin feels wonderful, smooth, and hydrated after every use. After 1 week of use I noticed a marked improvement in the softness of my skin. By week 2, my dehydration had improved so much that I only have to use one layer of moisturizer for daytime. (Currently using PTR's Camu Camu Power C cream). Before, I'd literally have to start my moisturizing regimen a good hour before applying makeup because I had to apply it in layers no matter what type or brand I used. Now I can do a normal skincare routine in minutes because this serum has so greatly improved the moisture content in my skin. I stay hydrated thru the day as well...another huge plus! After 4 weeks of use I noticed my fine lines appeared less noticeable which was awesome considering I wasn't expecting any sort of anti-aging effects from this serum.
The packaging is nice also...a bit heavy maybe, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The bottle is thick frosted glass and I like that I can see how much product I have left. It also has a pump which is clean and doesn't dispense too much product at once. I have only one tiny complaint, and maybe it's just me, but I find that one pump is not enough for my face. I have to use 2-3 pumps and gently massage it in (it absorbs rather quickly but beautifully)...using that much twice daily morning and night tends to make the product not last a super long time...but it still lasts a reasonable length. I just tend to be super conservative with pricey serums to try and stretch them as far as possible! Thumbs WAY up!! However, those with oily skin my not enjoy this, as I could see it being too much. Happy skin-caring everyone!

I bought this product based on the fabulous reviews here. It really does not do anything for me. I have bought so many less expensive serums over the years. I guess I was expecting something extraordinary given the price. Spend your money elsewhere.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! Extremely hydrating and diminishes appearance of fine lines! You can instantly feel a difference, you don't have to wait 4-6 weeks to see/feel a difference in your skin. I will definitely be repurchasing this item!

I wish I didn't love this product because it is very expensive. But after normalizing my dry winter skin with red peeling spots, I tried to go without, just using Bobbi Brown Hydrating moisturizer under my Bobbi Brown moisturizing foundation. I lost the glow and red scales started showing up again. So I guess I've found the one thing I would take to a desert island. I'll just have to bite the bullet.

LOVE! This stuff has been so great for my dehydrated skin. I saw immediate results the just kept getting better with use. My major concern was clogged pores on my nose from dehydrated skin along with problems with the way foundation was sitting around my cheek area. My skin was so dehydrated it would absorb the moisture out of any foundation making my skin resemble a desert. This serum has fixed those problems along with reducing redness and evening skin tone after using for about a month. It also gives my skin a nice glow.I am still deciding if it has helped with pore size.
I chose this serum over others I was considering (Estee Lauder, Dior, and Ren) because I preferred the feel and consistency. It is not sticky like others it is more milky and it absorbs immediately into my skin. I just love it every time i put it on which is started as two pumps every morning and night but after about two weeks I started only needing one pump each morning and night.
If you are looking for a good serum definitely pick up a sample of this.

The Menendez Brothers
The Aftermath
On August 2, 1996, Dr. William Vicary was removed from the panel of mental health professionals appointed by Los Angeles Superior County judges to analyze and testify about defendants in court cases. A ten-member committee made up of Superior Court judges reviewed the transcripts of the Menendez brothers' retrial and decided that Vicary's "continued participation on the panel was inappropriate." Later, the California State Medical Board sued Vicary in an attempt to revoke his license. Vicary was able to reach an agreement with the Medical Board to retain his license after admitting that he acted unethically during the Menendez case.
On September 10, 1996, the California Department of Corrections separated the Menendez brothers. Lyle was bussed from the North Kern State Prison to the California Correctional Institution near Tehachapi and Erik was bussed to the California State Prison, near Sacramento. Lyle and Erik were segregated from other prisoners and classified as maximum-security inmates.
Leslie Abramson was critical of the Department of Corrections decision to separate the brothers and said that the move was "unduly cruel and punitive." On the other hand, Les Zoeller said that he was "pleased the brothers finally are apart." Zoeller added, "I think that by putting them together, everybody's at risk."
On January 26, 1997, David Conn was notified that he would be transferred to the Norwalk office of the district attorney's office. After the Menendez verdicts, Conn gave an interview to the Los Angeles Times were he stated that he "wouldn't mind one day being the Los Angeles district attorney." Conn was later passed over for promotion and removed as acting head deputy of the major crimes unit. Conn said he was humiliated that he was not promoted and he backed an opponent of Gil Garcetti's in the November 1996 Los Angeles district attorney's race.
On October 13, 1997, after an 11-month investigation, Leslie Abramson learned that she would not be prosecuted by the Los Angeles district attorney's office for requesting that Dr. Vicary delete sections of his notes during the retrial of the brothers.
In 1997, Dr. Oziel surrendered his psychotherapist's license and moved from California to another state.
On February 27, 1998, the California Court of Appeals upheld the murder convictions of Lyle and Erik Menendez. The court's opinion established no new precedents and found that Judge Weissberg made no errors in a series of controversial rulings that limited the defense testimony about the brothers' upbringing and mental states during the retrial. The opinion was not published in official law reports and indicated that the justices on the Court of Appeals did not intend to create any legal precedents that could apply to future cases.
On May 28, 1998, the California Supreme Court voted to uphold the murder convictions and life-without-parole sentences of Lyle and Erik Menendez. None of the Supreme Court justices voted to review the case. Lyle's appellate lawyer, Cliff Gardner, said that he planned to file an appeal in federal court.
In 1998, David Conn left the district attorney's office for private practice.
On February 9, 1999, the State Bar of California closed its three year investigation of Leslie Abramson after deciding that there was insufficient evidence to conclude she violated ethical rules in the Menendez brothers retrial.
As of July 1999, Lyle is 31 and works as a janitor at the California Corrections Institution near Tehachapi. His 1996 marriage to Anna Eriksson fell apart after less than a year. Erik is now 29 and works as a groundskeeper at the California State Prison outside of Sacramento. According to their aunt, Marta Menendez-Cano, "in prison they're perceived as a couple of rich guys and people hate them."
Leslie Abramson continues to practice criminal law in Los Angeles. She recently defended Jeremy Strohmeyer, the teenager who killed a young girl in a Nevada casino. She also appears as a court commentator on ABC's Nightline and on Court TV.

Final Thoughts
When we looked at the new reference clocked GTX 660 Ti the other week, we find ourselves extremely impressed with it. Today we continue to find ourselves impressed with it if not slightly more as we see partners attack the model straight away and go to work on the new GPU.
When we saw the MSI GTX 660 Ti arrive and it fall under the Power Edition labeling, we instantly knew that we'd more than likely have something that was special on our hands based on past experiences. Normally we'd skip the out of the box overclock, though, and move straight into the overclocking side of things. Because this is the first retail GTX 660 Ti we're looking at, though, and the out of the box overclock is quite strong, we wanted to see just what someone could expect from the GTX 660 Ti Power Edition in the event they didn't want to overclock.
That means the next thing we've got to do is overclock this bad boy and see what features like Triple Overvoltage can do for our clock speeds. With potentially a strong overclock on offer, we should see even better performance out of the model and it will be interesting to see if we can get the new model sitting against the more expensive GTX 600 series offerings and the new HD 7970 GHz Edition video card.
Moving onto the specifics of this model, though, it's just a solid MSI video card - this is just something we have come to expect and the trend continues. The Twin Frozr cooler as always does an excellent job when it comes to cooling the GPU and doing it at a good noise level that isn't going to annoy you. Overall quality is also fantastic as you'd expect from a card that falls under the Power Edition label and the only area where we see it not shine, is the same area we see most cards not shine in these days, and that is the bundle.
We should really see a lot of GTX 660 Ti models hit the market today and come in at a price point around $299 - $349; higher than what was initially speculated. Deciding which one to buy is no doubt going to come down to price and personal preference, but the chances are if you've used MSI video cards in the past, the Power Edition one we looked at today is one that should grab your attention.
If you're looking at a video card that is going to fall in at around the $300 mark, you're going to be hard press to look at something other than the new GTX 660 Ti. Let's see what AMD does to respond to the latest model from NVIDIA. There's no denying that good times are ahead for the consumer, though, as both companies battle each other.

PHILADELPHIA, February 23, 2013 — StarChefs descends upon four cities each year to showcase Rising Stars in the respective city's kitchens, bars, and breweries. StarChefs has been working with and celebrating the best, the brightest, and the most exciting of the culinary and beverage worlds since 1995.
On Thursday, February 21, in Philadelphia, the Kimmel Center on the city's Avenue of the Arts (aka Broad Street) hosted the organization's first Revue of 2013. The performing arts multi-theater venue in the heart of the city provided a striking backdrop for the best of food and beverage in Philadelphia. It was the first return visit to Philadelphia for the organization since 2004, when notable chefs such as David Ansill, Terence Feury, Jose Garces, and Bryan Sikora were recognized for their excellence.
The VIP session began in the Hamilton Garden room, which is perched above the entire complex of theaters with breathtaking sky and street views. Champagne, wine, caviar, and Spanish Ibérico ham awaited guests who socialized before sitting for the awards show where the most acclaimed culinary and beverage experts from Philadelphia's past, present, and future gathered on stage.
The Rising Star awards were presented to up-and-coming industry professionals with the general rule that they have less than ten years of experience and are under the age of forty. Awards to these Rising Stars were presented in the following categories: Chef; Pastry Chef; Hotel Chef; Sustainability Chef; Community Chef; Concept Chef; Restaurateur; Mixologist; Sommelier; and Brewer.
Rising Star Mentor is a prestigious award in its own right in that it bestows recognition upon the chef who has done the most to support the young culinary professionals in their careers. The award is voted upon by all Rising Star award-winning chefs in the given city.
Chefs Nicholas Elmi (Rittenhouse Tavern), Yun Fuentes (JG Domestic), Chris Kearse (Will), Eli Kulp (Fork), Josh Lawler (The Farm and Fisherman), Greg Vernick (Vernick Food & Drink), and Will Zuchman (Alma de Cuba) were all named Philadelphia's Rising Stars 2013.
Other notable awards were presented to Jeremy Nolen (Concept Chef; Brauhaus Schmitz), Michael Solomonov (Restaurateur; Zahav, Citron and Rose, et al), Al Sotack (Mixologist; Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co.), and Scott Rudich and Rich DiLiberto (Round Guys Brewing Company; Brewer). For a full list, visit the official StarChefs website.
Jean-Marie Lacroix, a professional chef with a 30-year history in Philadelphia — at both the Fountain Restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel and the Lacroix Restaurant at the Rittenhouse Hotel — was recognized as Philadelphia's Rising Star Mentor.
The tasting portion of the night, known as the Rising Stars Revue, followed the awards presentation and provided guests the opportunity to taste the food prepared and served by the chefs themselves. These culinary delights were, in fact, the creations that gained them recognition with StarChefs during the vetting and nominating process and ultimately resulted in their lofty awards.
With presenting tables spread across the room, beer and wine tables alternating between them, guests could easily between tables and mingle with friends over delectable bites of scallop, lamb, sausage, maitake mushroom, salmon, lobster, crab, trout, eggplant, and pasta. Accompaniments to these dishes covered the spectrum of palate-pleasing textures and flavors like sea urchin, sweetbreads, pig's heart ragout, and harissa.
Not to be outdone by the savory, the salty, and the bitter, selections of french toast sticks, ice cream soda, and plates of chocolate and caramel were available to satisfy the sweet spot on the palate.
Wines selected by the winning sommelier, Brian Kane, and beers from a few of the nominated brewers as well as Ommegang (NY) and Flying Fish (NJ) were presented as pairings with each table of food. Winning mixologist, Al Sotack, tended bar, whipping up tequila-based drinks to the delight of the crowd while live music played from the corner.
After sampling around the event, it became clear that in a field of far above-average food selections, none stood out more so than the Sea Scallop with King Crab-Corn Quinoa and Merken Vinaigrette from Alma de Cuba's chef Will Zuchman. Not only was the scallop perfectly prepared (not the easiest feat, even for professionals) and the accompaniments perfectly balanced, the pairing with Vault Brewing Company's (a brewer nominee for the evening's award presentation) Belgian Blonde was more perfect than any other food and wine pairing of the evening. Of course, full disclosure says that I'm a beer guy first, but my open-minded palate would have gravitated to the best tastes regardless if from grape or grain. This dish gained my recognition as well as from the popular vote amongst the guests as the Best Dish of Philly Rising Stars.
Guests of the Revue gala were sent home with a current copy of the StarChefs magazine which both profiles each winner as well as lists a full recipe for those wishing to try their hand at recreating the tasting event's food selections at home. It was a night that celebrated the best of the local Philadelphia food and beverage scene. Going home hungry or thirsty was not an option.
For those that follow the restaurant and bar scene and want to catch up with the next Rising Stars, they need not wait long. New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, and the Carolinas will host similar awards/tasting events in 2013.
Cheers to great taste and to all of the winners in Philadelphia.
