Star Trek Into Darkness Teaser Trailer Plus Japanese Version With Extra FootageReported by Jay Cochran - 02:43 AM 2012.12.06
Next is the Japanese version which contains two extra scenes of additional footage over the US version. This extra footage I am sure might look a little familiar to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan fans, but does it have the same context????? In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

One Direction have been a massive hit in America, and now they have followed in the footsteps of The Wanted with one of their songs being covered on Glee.
What Makes You Beautiful will feature in an upcoming episode of the show, and band member Niall Horan could hardly contain his excitement at the news.
"To have a song in Glee is just fantastic," he told Digital Spy. "We're all big fans of the show and are so excited they chose What Makes You Beautiful for an episode."
The Wanted's hit Glad You Came was covered on the show earlier this year.
Glee actor Matthew Morrison, who plays teacher Will Schuester, has admitted that he has only just become aware of One Direction and told The Sun: "I've just heard of them, they're really taking over the States.
He jokingly added: "They've made it now though, they're on Glee! This will probably help their record sales too."
What Makes You Beautiful will feature in the episode Prom-A-Saurus, which airs in the UK on Thursday, May 10.

Delicious Bites: Brown Sugar Meringues Recipe
Brown Sugar Meringues are so yummy, would you like to learn how? Hi, it's Jillian here with April's Delicious Bites recipe. I was visiting my brother in the country a few weeks ago and I started thinking about the change of season. I know for most of you, spring is just around the corner, whilst here in Sydney we're about to head into autumn. For some reason the move into autumn is a little more obvious in the country than in the city. The tomatoes and figs are just coming to an end while the pumpkins are sprouting like mad.
When I'm in the country I love visiting the chickens. We have a bit of a chat and I give them a bowl of kitchen scraps before collecting the day's eggs. With all those lovely fresh eggs at my disposal I decided to make meringues. Meringues were one of the first things I learned to bake and I remember packing a few of them into my school lunch box. I changed up my old recipe a little by adding some brown sugar to the mix. The brown sugar adds a slightly different taste to the finished product and the meringues are a little chewier than regular meringues.
Meringues are pretty simple to make as long as you follow a few basic rules:
- When you separate the eggs make sure there is no yolk in the mixture or else the egg whites won't whip.
- I don't have a copper bowl so I use a glass or metal bowl which I wash and dry just before making the meringue mixture. Any lingering grease or water will stop the egg whites from whipping nicely.
- Meringues need to be cooked at a fairly low temperature. I've given 120°C/250°F as a suggestion 'cos my old gas oven can't go any lower than that.
- You can use the leftover yolks to make ice cream, custard or some homemade lemon curd to serve with the meringues.
Okay, here's how to make 'em. Ready?
Brown Sugar Meringues
You will need:
2 egg whites (from 60 gm eggs)
1/2 cup (100g) caster sugar minus 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 120°C/250°F
Lightly grease an oven tray and dust with cornflour (corn starch) or line with baking paper.
In a small bowl combine both of your sugars.
In a medium size bowl using an electric whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until the sugar dissolves and the meringue turns very glossy. Gently stir in the vanilla.
Using a large spoon, drop dollops of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet. You should get 8 – 10 medium size meringues from this mixture.
Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes for Pavlova like meringues or 1 1/4 hours for crisp meringues. You can leave the meringues to cool in the switched off oven.
Carefully remove the meringues from the baking tray and place on a wire rack. When completely cold, store the meringues in an airtight container until ready to serve. You can eat them as they are or serve them like mini Pavlovas topped with lemon curd, cream and berries, fresh from the garden.
If you'd like the recipe for the homemade lemon curd, let me know and I'll post it in the comments section.
I hope you enjoyed this month's Delicious Bites recipe. I'll be back again next month with another recipe for you. – Jillian

Michelle´s last blog post ..Desk Accessories Wish List -
As promised, here's my lemon curd recipe. The curd is tart and very lemony as lemon curd should be.
Lemon Curd
2 egg yolks
Finely grated rind of 1 lemon ~ 2 teaspoons
75 ml strained lemon juice
1/3 cup caster sugar
60 gram unsalted butter, roughly choppedMethod: Place the egg yolks, the lemon rind, juice and sugar into a small bowl and place over a pan of simmering water. Whisk the mixture until smooth. Keep whisking for about 10 minutes or until thickened. Remove the bowl from the heat and mix the butter in small batches until incorporated.
I like a smooth curd, so I strain the mixture through a sieve before setting the curd aside to cool. The mixture will continue to thicken once it cools. When cool, spoon the curd into a sterilized jar, seal and store in the fridge. The lemon curd will keep for a week or so in the fridge.
I hope you like the recipe,

2006 Hall of Fame
This year, five athletes joined legends such as Thurman "Fum" McGraw, Jack Christiansen and Amy Van Dyken in the Colorado State Hall of Fame.
2006 Hall of Fame

2006 Hall of Honor
More Ram Highlights:
Bryan Berryhill, Ivan Dyekman, Hilbert, Floyd Kerr, Angela Knopf and Mark Mullaney were inducted Friday, November 3, at the annual Hall of Fame Banquet (sold out). Volleyball coach Tom Hilbert was also honored as the 2006 Hall of Honor Award winner.
Bryan Berryhill
Track and Field
Berryhill twice won the Nye Trophy, awarded to the school's top male athlete.
Berryhill established himself as one of the finest track performers in school history during his career from 1997-2001. He was a 10-time All-American performer and is also the only student-athlete in school history to win two NCAA national championships - the mile (indoor) and 1,500 meters (outdoor). As a senior , he was named the Mountain West Conference cross country athlete of the year and the conference's most outstanding performer in both indoor and outdoor track.
Since exhausting his collegiate eligibility, Berryhill has continued to compete internationally. He joined the CSU staff as the Rams' cross country coach last spring.
Ivan Dyekman
Track and Field, Football, 1929-32
More than 70 years ago, Ivan Dyekman established himself as one of the finest athletes in the nation while competing in track and field as well as football at Colorado State, then known as Colorado A&M.
Dyekman lettered four years in track and field (1929-32) and also played football.
In 1931, he won the NCAA individual crown in the hammer throw, and was second in that event in the U.S. Nationals. A year later, he competed in the 1932 Olympic Trials.
Tom Hilbert
Head Volleyball Coach, 1997-present
Tom Hilbert, who is in his 10th year at Colorado State, has earned a reputation as one of the nation's top volleyball coaches.
Since coming to Colorado State, he has won 256 matches while guiding the Rams to nine consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. His teams have won five of the past seven Mountain West Conference title and he has been honored as the MWC volleyball coach of the year five times.
He is currently in his 18th year overall as a college head coach and currently ranks 12th among active coaches in winning percentage with a combined 429-132 record (.764), including eight seasons at Idaho.
Floyd Kerr
Basketball, 1966-69
Playing under legendary coach Jim Williams, Floyd Kerr was part of one of the most successful basketball eras in school history.
A three-year letterwinner from 1967-69, Kerr helped Colorado State advance to the Elite Eight of the 1969 NCAA Tournament. The Rams defeated in-state rival Colorado in the semifinals before losing a close decision to Drake in the Midwest Regionals, just missing the chance to advance to the Final Four. Kerr earned regional all-tournament team honors for his performance.
Kerr was drafted by the Phoenix Suns of the NBA and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL following his collegiate career. Kerr later was an assistant coach at his alma mater, and formerly served as a head coach and assistant coach for many years before entering athletic administration. He is currently the director of athletics at Morgan State University, and last year was named one of the 100 most influential African-Americans in sports by SPORTS ILLUSTRATED.
Angela Knopf
Volleyball, 1998-2001
One of the most decorated players in CSU volleyball history is two-time All-American Angela Knopf, who competed for the Rams from 1998-2001. She led the Rams to three MWC titles and four NCAA Tournament berths during her career. Knopf was a three-time all-conference performer and was named the conference player of the year as a junior and as a senior.
Knopf also enjoyed success in the classroom, twice earning academic all-district honors, and being named to third team Academic All-American as a senior. In her senior year, she was named NCAA Woman of the Year for Colorado and one of 10 NCAA Woman of the Year finalists.
Following her senior season, Knopf spent time training with the USA National Volleyball Team in Colorado Springs and is currently playing professional beach volleyball.
Mark Mullaney
Football, 1972-75
Former football all-star Mark Mullaney enjoyed a playing career that spanned four seasons at Colorado State and more than a decade in the NFL.
Mullaney played at Colorado State from 1972-75, earning three varsity letter awards. As a sophomore in 1972, he was a starting defensive tackle, then switched to offense his final two seasons at Colorado State. As a senior, he had the distinction of playing both on offense and defense for the Rams, who led the nation in passing in 1974. He was named to the all-conference team as a senior, then was drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings.
He spent more than a decade playing for Minnesota, and helped the Vikings become annual playoff and Super Bowl contenders.

She works to bring out each child's personality, at play or at rest, then captures the essence in her photographs. Jessica was born and raised in Kennesaw, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta (that's her in the top left picture). She fell in love with photography in high school art class. Her dad bought her first camera, a Pentax K1000, from a pawn shop in town. Her uncle Harold Alan Schroeder, a well-known portrait and event photographer, offered advice and encouragement (and photo equipment too). Jessica attended North Georgia Technical College, where she earned a perfect 4.0 GPA, and enrolled at the Art Institute of Atlanta, where she received a BFA in photography and graduated with the highest honors in her class. She won numerous awards including Best in Show for graduating portfolio. After graduation, Jessica worked in Atlanta as a full-time assistant to Parish Kohanim, a fine art and commercial photographer whose images have appeared in Vogue, Time, Newsweek and Harper's Bazaar magazines, and in ad campaigns for Fortune 500 companies. After two wonderful years with Parish, Jessica felt a bigger city calling her name. So she hugged all her friends and family goodbye, packed up and left for the Big Apple. Jessica moved to New York City to learn from all kinds of photographers (fashion, portrait, still life, interiors) and launch her own photography career. She assisted and digital-teched on photo shoots, retouched images for magazines, test-photographed with modeling agencies and built her fashion portfolio. She also photographed castings for production companies. These can involve as many as 400 children in a day! She loved making the kids feel comfortable and getting natural expressions -- even on the 400th child. As Jessica's friends and relatives started to have children, she began photographing them for fun. They begged her for more pictures and then their friends begged her for pictures. She began changing her focus from fashion to children. Today she still enjoys the excitement of fashion photography, but loves photographing and documenting the genuine spontaneity of children. Jessica lives in Brooklyn, and photographs children and families around the New York and Atlanta areas. |

Summer is coming, and there's no better time of year to visit Himalayan destinations such as Tibet, Ladakh, Kashmir, and the Spiti Valley. Not only is it a beautiful season in the mountains, but it's also a time of many cultural festivals that bring the region's traditions to vibrant life.
Travelers interested in Buddhist traditions often think first of Tibet when choosing a destination. The region is currently open to travelers, although the many summer festivals are somewhat dependent on the ever-changing political situation. But whether or not they occur as scheduled, the region is still a wonderful place for visiting monasteries, exploring the local culture, and trekking through the incomparable alpine landscapes.
Beyond the region most travelers think of as Tibet – Lhasa west to Mount Kailash and south to Nepal – is a much broader area of Tibetan culture. "We refer to the area as Tibetan Lands because there are whole areas to the east of the Tibet Autonomous Region that are now in Yunan and other parts of China but used to be part of Tibet," says Myths and Mountains President Toni Neubauer. "These areas are a very different world and a very different ecosystem."
- Details
Our Myths and Mountains family is made up of intrepid travelers who inspire with the way they embrace new cultures and experiences with open arms. We take great pleasure in crafting unforgettable, personalized adventures and sharing the joy of discovery, every step of the way. Here are 25 of the most amazing experiences our travelers have enjoyed during Myths and Mountains' first 25 years.
1. Circumambulating the sacred peak of Mount Kailash in Tibet
2. Trekking to Everest Base Camp
3. Getting married in special destinations like Bhutan, the Galapagos Islands, and Cambodia

4. Attending the coronation of the King of Bhutan
5. Diving with whale sharks in the Galapagos

The trip wasn't advertised specifically as textile-focused, but with a bit of special Myths and Mountains tweaking, Joan Clark and Susan O'Dell from Chicago discovered ample opportunities to indulge their love of weaving and other textile traditions during their journey to Peru last July.
With Myths and Mountains' Artisans of Peru itinerary as a foundation, Vice President Allie Almario worked closely with Joan and Susan to customize the program, adding and adapting elements to make the trip a one-of-a-kind experience that was everything the travelers had dreamed of, and more.
Both Susan and Joan have a long-standing interest in textiles. Susan is a weaver and a spinner, while Joan has been sewing since childhood and considers herself a tailor. She still cherishes the Singer sewing machine she bought with Green Stamps she collected in high school.
Together, Joan and Susan have traveled to many parts of the world, collecting a variety of indigenous weavings and other textiles along the way. When they saw the "Artisans of Peru" trip listed, things clicked. "We both had been looking for a textile trip, and there weren't very many out there," Susan recalls. "When we talked about our interests with Allie one of the things that really sold us was that we were able to plan with her what our travel experience would be, for example by seeing different collections that weren't necessarily on the original itinerary. I've traveled with other travel organizations in different ways, but Myths and Mountains is the only one that has been interested in letting us shape the trip."

When people ask us about a great option for single travelers, we always recommend Easter Island. We can easily match you up with small groups where you can meet other international travelers as you head off on daily explorations of the island's moai (stone figures). For many people, traveling to one of the world's most remote islands is one-in-a-lifetime experience, and one they will never forget.
We always love to hear back from our travelers with trips about our destinations. Here, Myths and Mountains traveler Donovan Wong from Las Vegas shares his thoughts on Easter Island.
How easy is it to walk around the main town, Hanga Roa?
DW: Really simple with the hotel Myths and Mountains booked for us as a base. You could easily do laps around town in less than an hour.
What can you share about money matters?
DW: Check your bank cards for ATM access such as PLUS or Cirrus before you leave home. We had to try a few banks before we found one that would take our particular cards, but it wasn't an issue. Also don't be surprised by the cost overall – it's very isolated, and they need to bring all of their food from the continent. I think we paid upwards of $20 for a plate of spaghetti, as an example, and the rental car was easily over $125 per day.
Are there any foods that are a must-try on the island?
DW: While beef and pasta were okay, seafood was probably the best choice all the way through.

As Queen Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck relates in her book, A Portrait of Bhutan, legend has it that the people of Tshona in Tibet were struggling to cut down a huge mountain in front of the palace of the tyrant Yarsang, in order to bring more light into his palace. No matter how hard they worked, the people were not able to make any progress at all, were desperate to tend their own fields and feed their own children, and were at a loss as to what to do. "Rather than cut down the mountain," suggested a beautiful young woman, Aum Jomo, "Let us cut off the head of the tyrant Yarsang."
Faced with this brilliant suggestion, the people arranged a great feast to honor Yarsang, saw to it that he got drunk, and then decapitated him. Staring down at the headless body of their former tyrant, the people realized the seriousness of their deed, and knew they had to flee their homes. Aum Jomo and their much-loved Lama Jarepa offered to lead them over the mountains to a new home.
Taking their yaks and sheep with them, the people of Tshona traveled for many months through the inhospitable land of Tibet, finally arriving at a very high pass. The majority, too tired to attempt to cross the high pass, turned back, wandering until they came to a wide valley on the top of a hill, that was covered with bamboo and rhododendrons. They named it Sakteng or "land on the top."

OBSESSION: Mellie Bianco Bags + Cri De Coeur Shoes!
Ladies –
Once again it's time to share a current fashion obsession with you that is not only lovely, but also green, clean and mean! I first spotted Mellie Bianco Bags in Time Out NY, when two young ladies, Taylor Olson and Lauren Jennifer Solomon, where featured for their shopping style. I was so inspired by these two young foxes, both are 25 and working in the fashion industry (manager of events at Dior and a personal stylist), that I googled them and befriended them. They are certainly White Doves!! One of their favorite pieces right now is the Ethnic Applique Bag by Mellie Bianco. Not only are these bags so freakin' cute, THEY ARE VEGAN!! So I can feel fabulous and green. Goes perfect with any Vintage Frock. What I'm coveting right now, is their Marie Sequins Hobo Bag…
The small label began by garnering fans at local boutiques in LA. Word-of-mouth (and purse) grew to find devotees going crazy over stylish designs, top-notch construction and (the best part) prices that were a fraction of other handbags on the market. For handbag lovers shying away from animal-based products, Melie BiancoŌĆÖs high-quality faux-leather materials were the perfect answer.Today, Melie Bianco commands a large share of the market for vegan, budget-friendly fashion handbags. Melie BiancoŌĆÖs designs have been spotted in major fashion magazines like Vogue, ┬ĀMarie Claire, Glamour, Lucky, Instyle, Oprah, Cosmo Girl, Seventeen, Self, People, and Life & Style among others.
Next on the Vegan Hit list is CRI DE COEUR Shoes! They were featured on Daily Candy this morning because they are launching a vegan friendly handbag line. As you can see I'm on the hunt for the perfect bag. However, I stumbled upon their shoe collection as well, which I'm in love in. It looks like it's time for a trip to Moo Shoes in Soho. I don't know if you feel this way, but I have a hard time finding the right bag (that holds my entire life, oh a laptop) and shoes in Vintage. I find wonderful pieces all the time, but non seem to jive with my hectic, digging for treasures and running amock in NYC lifestyle. Hopefully I've found some solice with these shoes….
Cri de Coeur is a French expression that translates literally to ŌĆ£cry from the heart.ŌĆØ To us, it symbolizes our heartfelt desire to change the face of the fashion footwear market. Cri de Coeur provides stylish, contemporary womenŌĆÖs footwear that is ethically produced from start to finish.
Also these women are CUTE!! They are certainly White Doves, Enjoy the Green Fabulous Fashion!

Green Tip: Reusable Fancy Baggies!
This morning I arose to my usual cup of sugar plum tea (add vanilla stevia and it's like a morning dessert!) and began chugging through my heavy inbox. I always get excited when I finally click on my Daily Candy email. This morning I discovered a solution to looking more stylish while being green! I have been reusing my plastic baggies, just wash them out and let them air dry, for years now. They are perfect for travel, carrying my snacks around, organizing jewelry , the possibilities of the baggie is endless! So NOW instead of every one seeing what I'm having for a snack today they can now see my snack wrapped up in a Fab fuchsia – aqua Tilli Baggie!!
Check out this bad ass chicks creation here : http://tilibags.com/
They come in various prints and patterns and sizes all for $8 – $9 for a box of 12!! Now that's better than your traditonal ziplock boringness. Thanks Tilli for making my morning more fabulous and more green! Remember, just wash, air dry and resuse!

A Conversation with Designer Asmina Stone
We are so excited to post our first interview with the super talented fashion designer Asmina "Mina" Stone, who invited us over to her cute Brooklyn pad on a sunny afternoon a few weeks ago. I discovered Mina through a Daily Candy post when I instantly fell in love with her hand – dyed Cassi tunic dress that was purged so much femininity it almost made me cry. Just looking her pieces makes me feel like a delicate woman, which I am. I got a sense that there was more to this young designer that just gorgeous pieces, it turns out she's gorgeous and green!
White Dove: What made you first realize you wanted to design clothes?
Mina Stone: I just started getting interested in it, even in high school I would just sketch, and then I started sewing my own clothes and making hippie dresses and I would try to sell them. When I was a junior, I took a summer program at Mass Art, and I had this teacher, she was so cool- she was a mini-version of Erykah Badu (laughs). She was just 22, and she was the most inspiring person. She dressed in this amazing way and was reallyexpressive. I think in that time period, it was just my means of expressing myself and so I was like, Why donŌĆÖt I just give it a shot?
So, I went to Pratt and got my degree in fashion and always utilized it as my way of expressing myself. I did all kinds of art and just gravitated towards that in the end.┬Ā And┬Ā IŌĆÖm still that wayŌĆ"just now itŌĆÖs cooking.
WD: What inspires you and how do you keep feeling inspired?
MS: I am always emotionally inspired. I feel in fashion, there are certainly a lot of designers that are just like me, but I think that how I work is that I feel like my seasons ŌĆō all of my collections ŌĆō are sort of, this-is-what-was-going-on-with-meŌĆōthe-past-six-
months and translating it that way, instead ofŌĆ"you know, sometimes I look at stuff and will be interested in something and kind of get really into it, but it usually ends up being about something that IŌĆÖm feeling, and thatŌĆÖs what IŌĆÖm interested in. So I would say that is what IŌĆÖm inspired by ŌĆō itŌĆÖs not super-specific inspirations, itŌĆÖs aŌĆ"
WD: ItŌĆÖs an intuitive thing.
MS: Yeah, itŌĆÖs an expression of time or experience.
WD: Do you ever buy vintage for inspiration?
MS: Totally, thatŌĆÖs how I got started! Remember the vintage store in Boston called the Garment District? I still have dresses from there that were $14 and I still wear everyday.
WD: There is a bit of Greek influence behind the minimal designs of your current collection. Was this intentional, and how much influence has your culture had on you as a designer?
MS: The Greek thing always finds itself in there, and I think that itŌĆÖs just something deep inside of me. IŌĆÖm not referencing Ancient Greek draping, which is amazing, I donŌĆÖt ever study it, but I do see it every summer, soŌĆ" itŌĆÖs just there, I think itŌĆÖs just a part of me. (laughs)
But from another standpoint, I kept thinking that in a way, it was about being in a place where you belong but that you donŌĆÖt also belong, because IŌĆÖm Greek but I was raised here, so in a sense thereŌĆÖs always going to be a part of me thatŌĆÖs trying to ŌĆ£Be more
Greek,ŌĆØ so it was sort of about being a slight misfit. (laughs)
WD: On that note, how would you describe the ideal Mina Stone girl?
MS: I think artistic and sensitiveŌĆ"ŌĆØ (laughs) Somebody that doesnŌĆÖt take herself too seriouslyŌĆ" thatŌĆÖs how I view her.
WD: Where did the influence for the dyeing techniques come from? How did that come into the picture?
MS: I wanted to use my hands on the fabric. I wanted to make each garment more personal and started experimenting with dyes and inks on fabric.
WD: Did you create this line when you came backŌĆö ŌĆścause you spent like, a year in Greece, right?
MS: Not that long, six months. And then I came back.
WD: And then, were you deciding on this collection while you were in Greece, or when you came back?
MS: Both. I feel like when IŌĆÖm there, my mind is pretty clear so just images come into
my head. And then I came back and did the collection.
WD: And your experience in Greece, was that an emotional thing that was coming out?
MS: Yeah. Probably. It always is, I think. (laughs)
WD: Okay. So, [ŌĆ"] you had stopped designing for two years, what caused that?
MS: Well, I was getting all this press, the line was doing well, and I started feeling like there are all these things I want to do, and I havenŌĆÖt done them yetŌĆ" I wanted to go to GreeceŌĆ" I was cooking a lot and I felt like cooking even moreŌĆ" and I wanted to do it before I tied myself down.
WD: Are you still cooking?
MS: Yeah, IŌĆÖm still cooking. IŌĆÖm cooking a lot less than I used to, but I still cook for an artist once a week, and I cook for the gallery once a month.
WD: Daily Candy really made it sound like youŌĆÖve made it sound like youŌĆÖve left behind cooking and youŌĆÖre working full-time in fashion and designing.
MS: ItŌĆÖs not [so cut and dry] but yeah, itŌĆÖs pretty much the truth. I think that even if you go to the best restaurant five times, youŌĆÖre going to feel like you still ate at a restaurant. So I donŌĆÖt have any aspirations of opening a restaurant. I want to cook for people I care about. IŌĆÖm trying to make cooking my hobby and designing into my business.
WD: Right, so the clothing is becoming the business, and the cooking is becoming the hobby.
MS: Yes.
WD: What kind of food do you cook?
MS: I cook Mediterranean/Organic/Local, I would sayŌĆ"
WD: Well, good, this is awesome, that you said this because now this takes us to a whole other direction, which is more of the direction that we want to talk about. So, I guess we can just jump into it. Our next question was about being green.
MS: I can talk about it foreverŌĆ" and I feel really strongly about being green. I specifically feel it for food.
WD: Well, letŌĆÖs talk about how you are green through your food. Talk about how those principles come into your cooking, ŌĆścause I think itŌĆÖs great that youŌĆÖre still doing that cooking, ŌĆścause then youŌĆÖre staying connected to that.
MS: I guess my philosophy is good food. I believe in it being seasonal simply because I think you can tell the difference. Greek food is so simple: just seasonal produce, and olive oil, a little lemon and some fish. All these Mediterranean diets are based on peasant foods: greens, grains, legumes, lots of olive oil and meat once in a while.
I think itŌĆÖs crazy how much better it is for the environment when youŌĆÖre more aware of your food choices. If people just ate meat only once or twice a week, it would make a huge impact on the Earth.
WD: What resources have you used to educate yourself about it?
MS: Mostly the New York Times and anything I read about Greek cooking or cookbooksŌĆ"I was just reading this book called The End of Food itŌĆÖs basically about the economic globalization of food businesses.
WD: How do you keep yourself motivated?
MS: Well, IŌĆÖm endlessly motivated to make clothes and dye fabrics and the fun stuff. ItŌĆÖs the business part thatŌĆÖs hellish. Luckily, this is another thing that fell into place.┬Ā My cousin, whoŌĆÖs in graduate school for business and has been like my sister when we
were growing up has been keeping me on my toes and invested her time and getting me organized. SheŌĆÖs someone IŌĆÖm responsible to, and it helps me I am very aware that with running a business, I have to know the financial end of it too.
I could have freelanced at a design firm, but I cooked and that funded the line, and my mom gave me some money as well. I think if you really wanted to do it, you could do it. ItŌĆÖs easier if you have money, of course, but I think there are ways. Maybe IŌĆÖve
been lucky, but the buyers IŌĆÖve worked with, theyŌĆÖve been supportive of an upcoming designer.
WD: Lastly, what kind of advice would you give to young women who want to start their own business?
MS: I think when youŌĆÖre ready for it, things fall into place. ThereŌĆÖs this girl I talked to who gave me the best advice ever. Her name is Rachel Lee, and sheŌĆÖs hilarious ŌĆō she said, ŌĆ£Trust your intuition. If youŌĆÖre not ready for something, donŌĆÖt do it.ŌĆØ My
best advice is to be yourself and trust yourself and people will pick up on that.ŌĆØ
We, of course, would like to thank Miss Mina Stone for having us over and gabbing with us — hope you Doves enjoyed this interview as much as we had conducting it!
Peace, Love & Kissing Doves,

Heart-Rate Monitors 101
by Dana Angelo White in Fitness, May 15, 2012Looking for a way to make the most of your workouts? Try a heart-rate monitor on for size.
What is a Heart-Rate Monitor?
As advertised, these gadgets measure your heart rate (a.k.a take your pulse) by sensing and displaying how many times your heart beats each minute. While heart rates will vary from person to person, a healthy adult typically averages anywhere from 60 to 100 beats per minute while at rest. As physical activity increases, so will the beats.
While there are some decent mobile apps out there for pedometers, it's a very different scene for heart-rate monitors – apps just won't cut it (at least not yet).
The most common heart-rate monitor styles are worn on the wrist, but some come with chest straps for continuous monitoring of heart activity. Chest strap models are slightly more cumbersome but are also more accurate (and more expensive). For the wrist-only models, you usually have to stop activity to get an accurate reading. There's also a huge variety of options – units range in price from $30.00 to more than $500.00! I'm a big fan of anything made by Timex and Polar has a nice variety of budget-friendly models.
Extra features you may find include timers, GPS devices, footware accessories that measure distance traveled and the ability to store data and download it to your computer to track progress.
Getting Started
The higher your heart rate, the more calories you are burning but since it's unrealistic (and unsafe) to maintain a high heart rate for too long, a monitor can help you keep a handle on things.
Using a heart rate monitor is a safe and smart way to monitor your intensity and helps make the most of your exercise sessions. Exercising in the proper heart rate range, or "zone" can maximize the efficiency of your workout.
Working out at varying percentages of your maximum heart rate helps to give you a better and more well-rounded workout. Lower intensity exercise burns a high percentage of fat while higher intensities use more carbs for fuel while helping to develop cardiovascular fitness and increase speed.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
• Get started with a simple and affordable heart-rate monitor and then trade up if you're looking for more features.
• Calculate your maximum heart rate with this simple calculation (220 – your age).
• Vary exercise intensity between 50 and 85% of you maximum heart rate to diversify your exercise intensity.
• Use interval training – a mix of low and high intensity — within a workout to burn the most calories.
• Use a heart rate monitor for more than just running – it works for walking, biking and skiing too.
Tell Us: Do you use a heart rate monitor?

I tried to send this letter to Moyers, But he apparently does not believe in the first or second ammendments, Because they deleited this comment:Your not making yourself look intellegent with the Archie Bunker clip. You will find EVERY NRA member DISCUSTED & sad with all killing of innocent victems of these COWARDS!
These COWARDS only pick unarmed victims That are disillusioned by GUN FREE SCHOOL ZONES & No Guns Allowed signs. These COWARDS do not Abide by the law. More Laws ONLY stop Law abiding Gun Owners from Protecting the Innocent and themselves.
Signs , Laws , Zones, 911 Calls Will NOT Stop these tragedies. ONE (1) Well placed bullit to the head WILL! There are MILLIONS of Gunowners that will Defend YOU & Anyone around, from these loosers. NRA members are Firemen Policemen Teachers Lawyers And yes, Janitors.
Please do not cast judgement on our motives or Integrity.
We care as you do, But we can and Will do what it takes to stop them, NOW!
I carry my gun everywhere, including to Church. I pray i never need it, but i will use it as a defensive TOOL, as ALL NRA & C/C Holders are Trained to do. Its our unwritten Creed to DEFEND the Innocent!
Please THINK before you insult your audience. Thank You for your Time, John Kutzler, Westfield Wi

Originally started by Opera, and popularized by Chrome, the "multiple homepage" concept is commonly used by people (whether by add-on or built in browser functionality) who can't decide on one single website to be their homepage. However, what if you want something simple, clean, yet elegant and want it without any hassle, or third party add-on (assuming the browser you use doesn't have it built in)? Well then, let me introduce you to Fav4.org:
Fav4.org is a website that allows you to set links to 4 of your most favorite websites. After configuring Fav4.org (no registration required, btw), you just need to set Fav4.org as your homepage and every time you visit you will have quick access to the four websites you selected.
Using Fav4.org is very simple:
- Visit Fav4.org.
- Click on "site settings".
- Go to "config" and select the four websites you desire:
- Click "save settings" after you have finished (you must select all four otherwise you won't be able to save).
- Make Fav4.org your homepage.
- Enjoy.
Currently, these are all the websites supported by Fav4.org:
Unfortunately, you can only add the websites supported by Fav4.org. However, you can suggest more websites to be added and hope the developer's Fav4.org listen.
One thing to keep in mind when using Fav4.org is that your preferences are saved in a cookie. So if you are one of those people that constantly clear your browser surfing data (which includes cookies) Fav4.org probably is not for you.
Now, I realize Fav4.org won't be for everyone. Some people will not like the four site limitation, while other be turned off by the inability to add your own website (for these people I recommend looking into an add-on for your browser that can make you happy). However, Fav4.org is a fairly attractive service for those that want or need it. You can access Fav4.org from the following link:

I love Netvibes for my home page. Highly customizable. Many useful features.
I use keyF11.com I think it is better than fav4.org
Keyf11 is nontraditional online bookmark manager, on-line browser with sticky notes (you can save and share – bookmarks as thumbnails with notes, browse and arrange websites (size, position and save the layout of windows – ideal for HDTV) , active previews (title and favicons) of all panels, sticky notes…)After registration you have own address for your favourite web pages (keyf11.com/nickname) and you can send your own link to anybody and simply share your favourite pages with notes notes.
You can share everything except your private panels, which are password protected and hide. keyfF11 is free web application I recommend.
e.g.keyf11.com/bingle -
Fav4.org is nice, but there is a slightly more sophisticated site with the same basic idea, with a Google search box and the 150 most popular links – http://zenstart.com
Speed Dial for firefox is another popular choice :)
Frank Ylagan
What is the advantage of using Fav4.org over closing Firefox with your 4 favorite sites open in tabs so that they open automatically when you run Firefox the next time?
I use Firefox and I only discovered last night that I could open more than one webpage when I click on the "Home" icon.
It took me a little while to work what happened. By going to Tools -> Options… -> General I noticed in the "Home Page" box that I accidentally added two URLs.
I had not changed any options recently so I assume it was always possible to do this multi-page homepage function in FF.
I fail to see an advantage over the stock multiple tabs, or even a simple start page like my.yahoo.com.
Hey man, IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera all have multiple homepage! Why do we need this ?:)

Bill Borrett, Norfolk County Council acting leader. Picture: Denise Bradley
Richard Wheeler
Friday, February 22, 2013
The man in line to become the next Norfolk County Council leader says he wants to make the authority "more open" during his 10-week tenure.
Bill Borrett triumphed over Graham Plant in a secret ballot to decide the new Conservative group county council chairman, and he is set to be formally approved as leader on Monday.
But the Elmham and Mattishall Tory could hold the role for the shortest amount of time in the authority's history as all 84 county council seats will be up for grabs at elections on May 2.
A leader would then have to be decided once the new council has been selected.
Mr Borrett has held the role of acting county council leader following Derrick Murphy's decision to temporarily step down last month, and later resign, following a standards hearing into his conduct.
There were calls from the opposition Labour group for a caretaker leader to take charge until May.
But the 84 county councillors will be asked to agree a new leader at an extraordinary meeting on Monday. Mr Borrett will be recommended to become county council leader until the elections.
As the Tories have 59 members and a majority of 35, it is unlikely the farmer at Hoe will be prevented from taking the role.
Mr Borrett said he was "chuffed" to be chosen and his aims included managing the authority's finances and keeping the same cabinet team together for the final weeks of the Tory administration.
But he said also he wants to work on the council's "softer skills". He said this includes being "more open, listening more and involving more people".
Mr Borrett said: "It's a more natural style for me and easier to do and I think it's what's required. Hopefully it's a win-win."
Despite county council elections just weeks away, Mr Borrett insisted it was right to hold yesterday's leadership contest.
He said: "I think given we had another candidate that wanted to put their name forward, it was the only fair thing we could do and it does give us clear stability to the end of this administration.
"There's a lot of important jobs to do in the council and for everybody to know what's happening with the leadership, it's stable for the next 10 weeks.
"I may go on record as being the shortest leader of the county council. We are talking about 10 weeks and the new council may want to choose a new leader once elected. Who knows what that will bring."
Defeated candidate Mr Plant said he put himself forward to ensure the leader was selected by the whole of the Tory group.
He said: "Bill is a good bloke. We have no angst. We are where we are. We had no angst during the course of the pre-election or during the vote, nothing at all.
"We draw a line in the sand, we move forward and we present ourselves as a Conservative Party for Norfolk running up to the elections."
It had been thought Brian Long, also deputy leader of West Norfolk Council, would also stand, but he did not formally submit his nomination.
He told the EDP: "It was obvious to me as I was making contact with other members I wasn't going to achieve enough support to make a dent one way or the other. I withdrew but live to fight another day."
George Nobbs, Labour group leader at County Hall, said he would have preferred a "respected" caretaker leader until May.
He said: "I think that given we are less than two months away from a county council election, which many of the people who voted for Mr Borrett will not be councillors after and the two main candidates today may not retain their seats, it would have been altogether more seemly for the Conservatives to have left the decision to those who the electorate return in May."
Today's election took place after former leader Derrick Murphy resigned. He did so last month, to focus on a standards hearing he was facing.
At that hearing he was cleared, by a committee of fellow councillors, of six of seven claims he had breached the council's code of conduct, but on one count he was found to have committed a breach.
That one count related to him bringing his office into disrepute because he had asked Kevin Vaughan, a political assistant to Mr Murphy's Conservative group to claim it was so-called twin hatter councillors –county councillors who also serve on West Norfolk Council – not Mr Murphy, who asked him to send an email to the BBC.
The committee imposed three sanctions: A letter of censure will be sent by the committee to Mr Murphy; a report of the breach will be made to a meeting of the full council and Mr Murphy will be required to undergo training in ethics and standards.
Mr Murphy then announced he would not be seeking a return as chairman and then revealed he and his wife Janet, also a county councillor, would not be standing in May's county council elections.

We don't want you Bill, Norfolk does not want you. We will remember all the councillors that have sat back and allowed DEMOCRACY to die in Norfolk. Roll on the elections. Borrett only cares about number one, himself. You will not be in the chair for long you have caused a war with West Norfolk and you will have to suffer the consequences of your bullying tactics to shove a dirty stinking waste incinerator on families in King's Lynn. How would you like a waste incinerator near you. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. You are not fit to be leader, you can't even understand what the best options are for dealing with waste. Incineration is as bad as landfill, mountains of toxic ash will have to be buried in a hole in the ground. £600 million of our money would be wasted. A waste incinerator spewing poisons onto the delicate environment in The Wash for 25 years would be a ecological disaster. Why do you want a crown for that? You will never be West Norfolk's Leader.

Anything was better than Brian Long.

Let us set a little test for Cllr Bill "more open" Borrett. Around thirty public questions have already been submitted in advance to the Cabinet meeting on 4th March. I challenge him to ensure that each question receives a full, detailed, accurate and non-evasive answer. If he does, then it will be a compete surprise to all members of the public who have in the past exercised their constitutional right to submit questions, and have them properly answered.
Saturday, February 23, 2013
Andy T we will get our chance at the elections no conservative seat is safe now. Thanks to Borrett and his puppets.
Friday, February 22, 2013
Oh come on folks cut Borrett some slack about his awful grammar, he didn't have the benefit of NCC's PR team writing that sentence for him. So this is another 'done deal' by the Cabinet, we say you do? Now we have the pleasure of seeing how many eunuchs there are on Monday, especially those who don't turn up - so quite a few from West Norfolk then, hey L.angwade?
Friday, February 22, 2013
Is Cllr Borrett really referring to his stature in this victory enigmatic statement? I have never met him, so I cannot judge.
Friday, February 22, 2013
"I may go on record as being the shortest leader of the county council" How tall is he?

Will Farmer Bill be able to change the brand of Norfolk's Tories before May's elections?Can he detoxify the toxic Tories?EDP reports on inadequacies in childrens' services suggest not.

Or the most grammatically incorrect? WN could have taken that record easily but didn't go for it, shame! Is this a case of the organ grinder is dead, long live his monkey?
Friday, February 22, 2013
I bring you good tidings Borratt. You are not the shortest Leader of the County Council. I have checked with a former leader who says she is 5foot 4inches. So you can stop being so upset although I cant understand why you have focused on your height to be so worried about when your cabinet colleagues are about to implode into a big mucky blancmange. I was much heartened to hear that Brian Long could not attract one single vote from the rotten nest of vipers that constitutes the Tory group on the County Council.the County. His personal reputation has just gone stratospheric which is great when you consider the rest of the Tories are hiding under stones.
Saturday, February 23, 2013
Jack "A waste incinerator spewing poisons onto the delicate environment in The Wash for 25 years would be a ecological disaster." No pun but rubbish! Have you heard of Palm Paper? Either way your local council signed up to an incinerator with or without the County Council...

"Open"? Open evening at the Lodge. Church of the Latter Day Tories.

Why, EDP, have you blocked the ridiculous, juvenile and wholly inappropriate image I uploaded yesterday?
Saturday, February 23, 2013
Brian Long ??? Ha ha ha ha. That joker had to move aside when he discovered not a single person would support him. Talk about unpopular. He even signed his own nomination paper and was only going to get one vote - his own. Step down Brian and save yourself the further embarrassment of losing an election.
Friday, February 22, 2013
Oh Mr.Borrett, there are thousands of us who sincerely hope you are right. As for being "more open, listening more and involving more people", the only way to convince the population of West Norfolk will be to pull the plug on the incinerator project that you are forcing down our throats. Your idea of localism ends at your farm gate. We deserve better than you!

Oh dear, open mouth before engaging brain. But if he is saying what I think he means in his own sad garbled way, we can but hope Borratt, we can but hope.
Friday, February 22, 2013
Tomorrow Bill Borett will more than likely be the CC more' open' leader - I hope that he has spent this wend deciding how he is going to do this.Perhaps I can help with a few questions that should be answered immediately. How much was Kevin Vaughan paid off ? What were the voting figures of the Standards Committee ? What were the voting figures at the leadership election? Why was Murphy not sacked when it was shown that he lied? Why is Alison Thomas still on the Cabinet? Why is it impossible to get information about his involvement in th Kevingate affair? That's for a start.
Sunday, February 24, 2013
LISTENING MORE??? What, like that "hear no evil" monkey?
Friday, February 22, 2013
This is an extremely accurate headline! Why a secret ballot? Secrecy is the bane of Norfolk County Council and obviously as the Conservatives control all its hardly surprising. The people who fund Councillors should be privy to know how many votes Borrett and Plant got. Did Borrett only get through by a whisker or was it a resounding defeat for Plant? Are be going to see unity or backstabbing? One thing is for certain we will not see openess, transparency or a jot of consideration for the taxpayer from Borrett.
Friday, February 22, 2013
Fancy showing a video of Borrett sitting all alone in an empty room, or was that supposed to represent all the Billy No Mates supporters? So by having a secret ballott, for all we know everyone else could have abstained and Borrett got in by one vote, namely his own.

Here is a little suggestion to all of those MORONS trying to build their very own phone/tablet/whatever stack.... DON'T KEEP REINVENTING THE WHEEL!!!! Put your hard work into making something that already exists WORK BETTER.

Here is a little suggestion to all of those MORONS trying to build their very own phone/tablet/whatever stack.... DON'T KEEP REINVENTING THE WHEEL!!!! Put your hard work into making something that already exists WORK BETTER.
The problem is that we haven't yet decided which "wheel" design is the best.
Ubuntu's actually looks compelling (especially the first class html5 support and qml should be nice as well). Certainly fast task switching is something that neither android nor iOS does well. W8 is better but the implementation is a bit delicate. Ubuntu's looks best of all.a
I especially like that it supports both slide and edge gestures. I also think it is very forward looking to only have soft buttons (like the nexus devices).
Everyone wants a piece of the mobile system pie!
This is real. Hands on.
They could just distribute it as an app and then anyone with appropriate hardware can run it.
Don't need no steenkin' dedicated phone.
Why not? Ubuntu on your phone uses the same kernel as android and runs concurrently with android.
Why not? A linux desktop is really just an app anyways. Even on a standard x86 system the desktop is just another package that you install.
It's an app that runs other apps, but it's an app.
Yes if you are going to do something like this, you should BORROW SOMEONE ELSE's HARDWARE so you don't have to make your own.
You should KEEP THE ORIGINAL KERNEL, unmodified, so you don't reinvent it.
You should only use software that has already been run on other computers.
You should GIVE IT AWAY so nobody will complain about the high price.
WHAT WERE YOU SAYING AGAiN, MORON?
The nearsighted among us wonder why another smartphone OS.
Keep your eye on the puck!
Make a graph of phone processor power over time. Project this graph a couple of years into the future. That monotonically increasing function means that tomorrows phone has the processing power of today's laptop.
Given the state of affairs why cart around a whole laptop? You are carrying the best bits, the processors and the storage, in your pocket. You only need a big screen and a big keyboard when you sit at a desk. Pop your phone into a docking station and ta-da it's a desktop system.
HERE is where Ubuntu on your phone makes sense. You don't want to run android apps when you are sitting at your desk, you want ones that know you have a real keyboard and a real mouse and a big screen. So you want a DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT ON YOUR PHONE!!!
And even better your android apps are still right there and you can run them on your desktop, interspersed with your Ubuntu apps. Sure they won't be fun without a touch screen, but what IS going to solve THAT problem?
Better still: you are carrying around your desktop in your pocket so when you go to a hotel room or work or your friend's house, you still get the very same desktop you have at home.
Yes back in the 70's the chairman of DEC said that the world's market for computers was maybe 100 systems or so.
I look at comments that say "don't fix what isn't broken" and I see about the same amount of foresight. Ken Olsen could not imagine progress and these people cannot either.

Metroid Inspired Kickstarter 'ReVeN' is Officially Funded and Coming to Wii U
Good news for those looking forward to the Metroid inspired indie game, ReVeN. In a new press release, the team has stated that the game is funny funded. In just 12 days, Varia Games hit their goal of $18,000. This guarantees a Wii U version. See the press release below.
Via: GoNintendo, Source: Varia Games PR
First off, I would like to thank everyone who has supported us on KickStarter, shared our links with friends, and those of you who have written articles of our game, ReVeN. Words cannot express how thankful we are for all of the support.
This is an update for you all, letting you know that because of all the great support, ReVeN is now FUNDED on KickStarter! In just 12 days! Wow! We are ecstatic to be in this position and cannot wait to bring our fans further updates as the game continues in development!
The biggest fear that most of our fans have is that the game is just too similar to Metroid. To resolve this issue, we will be releasing a new gameplay video very soon that will introduce you to the EDM system and other very unique systems/story-line that massively differentiates our game from the Metroid series.
We would absolutely love for you to share our progress with your communities. Now that the game is funded, we have huge updates that will be revealed very soon!
It's not over yet! Let's continue pushing to get extra features in the game. $55,000 gets 4-player online survival mode. $85,000 gets expanded online level sharing. $100,000 gets additional Wii U Gamepad integration. $120,000 gets full 1080p support. $180,000 gets a unique two player co-op campaign. And $200,000 gets a PS Vita and PS4 release. Check out some gameplay of ReVeN below.

Okay, all we need to do now is reach $180K. And then stop donating.
Looks good to me. I do see why they say it looks like Metroid, but so what? There is no Metroid out for the Wii U, so this seems like a great game for us to play in the meantime.
Can't wait to play Reven when it comes out!
The indies are really loving Nintendo and their eshop. -
If there are any indy dev's who read this I would like to share a thought I've had which is this alot of people complain that the Wii U has small storage 32gb or 8gb but I find that because Nintendo kept it relatively small I purchase indy games and virtual console games only and the bigger dev games I get on disc so by Nintendo keeping its storage small its helping drive indy games which I personally prefer.
Awesome I can't wait I am loving all these sweet indy games keep em coming and good work indie's Im gonna be skint.
Keep them coming… and coming in 1080p
This is awesome news! Reven coming to the Nintendo eShop for Wii U. The more we see indie titles coming to the U, the better.

Steven Hinz and others pleaded guilty to tax and fraud charges
Steven R. Hinz pleaded guilty today to tax fraud and mortgage fraud charges in Cleveland federal court.
The pleas were announced by Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department's Tax Division Kathryn Keneally, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio Steven M. Dettelbach, and Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation, Cincinnati Field Office, Darryl K. Williams.
Hinz's pleas followed recent guilty pleas of the other three defendants charged in case – Heather L. English, Patricia A. Polk, and William E. Phillips, III.
United States District Judge Patricia A. Gaughan scheduled sentencings for January 2013.
Hinz, formerly of Youngstown, Ohio, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, one count of making a false 2008 income tax return, 15 counts of aiding and assisting the preparation of false income tax returns, and one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud involving a mortgage fraud scheme.
The day before, Polk also pleaded guilty to the tax fraud conspiracy and the bank fraud conspiracy.
On October 4th, English pleaded guilty to the tax fraud conspiracy and one count of aiding and assisting the preparation and presentation of Hinz's false 2008 tax return, and Phillips pleaded guilty to the tax fraud conspiracy.
All four defendants were indicted in December 2011 on the tax conspiracy and various false return charges. Hinz was arrested in Miami, Florida, in January 2012 and Polk was arrested in Sarasota, Florida in February 2012. Phillips was arrested in Los Angeles in June 2012, after being deported from the Philippines upon request of the U.S. government. Hinz and Polk were charged with the bank fraud conspiracy in a supplemental information filed yesterday.
According to the indictment and documents submitted to the court, Hinz promoted a scheme to defraud the United States by filing false federal income tax returns claiming large tax refunds using the so-called "OID process."
The OID process involved the preparation of fictitious IRS Forms 1099-OID, Original Issue Discount, falsely reporting that financial institutions, creditors, and other entities had withheld large amounts of federal income tax on behalf of the defendants and other taxpayers, with respect to non-existent income. Hinz and English recruited potential clients by promoting the OID scheme to investors in and employees of Hinz's real estate business in Youngstown, Ohio, as well as to individuals they knew from organizations known at different times as NeoThink, NeoTech, and the Society of Secrets.
English prepared or directed the preparation of the 1099-OID forms and prepared and electronically filed the tax returns. Based on these fictitious withholdings, at least 17 false tax returns for the year 2008 were filed with the IRS, claiming false refunds totaling more than $3 million, according to court documents.
Under the scheme, taxpayers recruited by Hinz were to pay 20 percent of their refunds to Hinz and English, split equally between them, sometimes referred to as commissions and sometimes labeled as "donations," according to court documents.
According to the supplemental information and other court documents, from approximately December 2006 through May 2009, Hinz conducted his real estate business in part through a scheme to defraud two federally insured banks, Wells Fargo Bank and Huntington National Bank, that provided mortgage loans to the investors.
The scheme was carried out through the filing of false mechanic's liens for work not actually done and the providing of undisclosed down payment assistance to the investors. The scheme was designed to induce the banks to make mortgage loans based on false representations concerning the true price and value of the properties, the sources of down payments, and the disposition of loan proceeds. Polk began conspiring with Hinz to conduct the scheme April 2008, according to court documents.
Each defendant's sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant's prior criminal record, if any, the defendant's role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
The case is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys John M. Siegel and Henry F. DeBaggis and Tax Division Trial Attorney Robert C. Kennedy, following investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, the Office of Investigations of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Spring has definitely come to Banyoles, Catalonia!
The fields have already got a very light green color. After the rain we had last week, the water is flowing in all the creeks. Birds are singing intensely and you can smell the soil since the sun is warming it up. We've had 20ºC during the last couple of days. You can tell that people have been waiting for nice weather: everybody is out walking, doing gardening, sitting at a café etc. I love spring, it's my favorite season. It inspires so much vitality!
When I went for a walk the other day I found out that there are 4 man made stork nests here in Banyoles. I't fascinating to be able to see this big birds so close. The nests are right by the lake.
Where ever you are, I hope spring will come to you soon!

Tucows only lists Windows 2K and XP compatibility for this program. I tried it on Vista anyway, and it doesn't seem to work for me. Can anyone else verify that, or test it on Win7? Thanks
Cool! Nice to see a tuning program! Bonus is its small filesize!
It works for me on Win7. Did it run for you, Onesimus Prime, but just look sort of grayed out in the display area? It did for me, too, but, as the readme says, you have to set Windows' default sound recording option in Control Panel -> Sounds -> Recording.
ashghost, that did work. I've changed the entry to include Vista and Win7. Anyone want to try on earlier OS's?
Cool app. "Always on Top" option would be nice.
