Find Out Everything That Google Knows About You
How many of Google's products and services do you use? Gmail? Google Docs? Google Checkout? Blogger.com? Chrome? Picasa? Chances are, you use a fair few Google services. Which means that Google knows a worryingly large amount about you.
To find out just how much, head to www.google.com/dashboard and log in with your normal gmail/Google account. You'll then be able to see all of the data that Google holds, all in one place. From the number of messages in your mailbox, to the most recent item you bought via Checkout, or the most recent picture you shared on Picasa.
Now, tell me honestly that you're still not worried about the IT industry's continuing relentless move to cloud computing!

The hotels Finn chose for us were very good and the itinerary including the guides and people who did the 'meeting and greeting' were excellent. Their local knowledge really helped as everything worked out very well. The only minor point was that we wished we had known in advance that we could only take a small bag on the Vistadome train as we would have brought an overnight bag with us for our stay in the Sacred Valley. Posada Amazonas was a fantastic experience, our guide was truly amazing.

In a press release today, the French American Foundation and Florence Gould Foundation announced the finalists for their 27th annual translation prize for one work of fiction and one work of non-fiction.
According to the release, the foundations received 84 submissions to the Translation Prize, from over 40 publishers. This year, the list of finalists saw a massive increase in number. The 2012 list consisted of only three titles and translators—one in the fiction category, and two in the non-fiction category. In fact, with 10 titles in total, 2013 saw the highest number of winners in the history of the award. (The full list of past winners is here.) Hopefully, the foundations' ability to award multiple translators will keep thriving, thus creating opportunities for a continued and healthy mix (and rotation) of well-known translators, and translators who are slowly working up their repertoire or are only just emerging.
From the release:
One Fiction and one Non-Fiction prize will be presented at the annual Awards Ceremony on May 22 in New York. Each winning translator will receive a $10,000 prize funded by the Florence Gould Foundation.
The jury, which includes Linda Asher, David Bellos, Linda Coverdale, Emmanuelle Ertel and Lorin Stein, has selected the best English translations of French works published in 2013. The 10 finalists form a prestigious and diverse group that includes books by award-winning authors and important French works available in English and in the United States for the first time.
Though every press would, obviously, love to see their title on the docket, this year's list of translators and titles really is a good one, and even includes one of our newest author-friends, Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès, who was at the University of Rochester last fall to kick off our Reading the World Conversation Series, and is a fantastic person and amazing writer.
More info on the Translation Prize can be found at the French-American Foundation's website.
The full list of fiction finalists is:
The list of non-fiction finalists can be seen here.
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .

Re: Danish Delight - Caroline Wozniacki thread - vol 5
We hear a lot of praise for certain tourneys that treat players well during their stays,but I'm sure that,at least on occasion,there have been a few tourneys where the players offered scant kind words afterwards.Most of the gals would endeavor to be polite and discreet,though it's not always difficult to read between the lines.To anyone's recollection,have there been any events where Caroline was clearly non-plussed after the fact?

It falls to me every year to make the stuffing for the Crimbo feast.
I usually make three platters of stuffing with different flavours. Never having knowingly fed my children with with commercial 'sausage', I traditionally make the stuffings with a breadcrumb/onion/(cheap) bacon base.
This year marks a break with tradition: four trays of stuffing, thus:
1/ Jamie Oliver's recipe using pork shoulder base,
followed by three stuffings with an Asda sausagemeat base:
2/ apricot/and or cranberry,
3/ Chestnut and sage,
4/ traditional breadcrumb, apple and onion.
Last night I raided the Co-op for sell-by loaves at 19pence each.
Later this morning I shall monopolise the whole kitchen for three hours, prancing around pronouncing in a mockney accent how everything I do will taste 'fantastic' and how every ingredient has been 'whizzed' or 'bunged' in, and driving my Spousal Unit to the brink of divorce /murder. I shall let you know how I get on.

maybe hasbro really does want to buy them? If Softbank was willing to pay $32, then maybe DWA really is worth at least that, or is Softbank a bunch of idiots? People short the stock are really the idiots.This reminds me of Kinder Morgan. People kept shorting his stock, then he found a way for a 50% move higher soon afterwards.
Record revenues and earnings. This is going back to $18 before it starts basing.
Sentiment: Buy
This is a great way to use some of their cash to grow their revenues and earnings. That is what Dakt needs to jumpstart their stock. We will have to wait for the conference call to see how much more revenue and earnings this brings in.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
maybe because it is trading at a huge discount to its $23 net asset value. This should be trading at $23 not $20.
Yes, I've been waiting for the shakeout. I bought too early - 1000 shares at $13.83 coupled with selling 10 sept 15 calls at $.49 The calls are already profitable last trade was $.25 If the stock gets called away from me then I get $15.49 which I'll gladly take.
p.s. there may be more shakeout coming. I could even visualize a manipulation down to $12.50
there I would go long another 1000 shares without selling calls. let's see what happens in the next few days, this thing really does look manipulated. crazy right?
Sentiment: Buy
Polydouche, you cannot visualize how to make money on this stock. 5000 shares a day bought at 9.10 then sold at 9.19 is a great way to make your daily bread. But all you can think of is taunting people on the message board. Silly girl.
Hey polydouche, who cares why it occured? the point is that it occurred. I am trading to make money. I'll take technical analysis over your psychological babbling any day.
buy now. great dividend and huge discount to nav. Top quality names in this fund.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
See you at $16 + when this thing gets discovered.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Opened lower, then closed higher on double the ave daily volume on a bad market day. The company is reinventing itself right now. Do opposite of analysts. They will put a buy rating on this when it gets to 13 + Just wait and see.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Thus, I buy at 13.6 or keep the money. I'm fine with either.
Sentiment: Hold

where to buy phentex slipper and craft yarn
Hello...I'm trying to complete a costume for my daughter and need to find Phentex Slipper and Craft Yarn in white. It's that really rough & tough, multi-stringy nylon/olefin stuff that has been around for at least 40 years! Does anyone know where I can buy it in Canada (Vancouver)? I've tried Michaels and Zellers...no luck. I need at least 200 feet of it.
Any help greatly appreciated....Dance competition is quickly sneaking up on me!!
My mother was cleaning out her closet and going through her stash of yarn and came across quite a few balls of unopened and partial balls of the phentex yarn. There were several balls of white and a few other colours. If you still need some let me know.
I've always been able to find Phentex at my local Zellers store. (I'm in Nova Scotia.) Mind you, it is tucked down near the bottom of a shelf, almost unnoticeable.
The plastic covering around the balls of "yarn" disguises the fact that it is the dreaded Phentex. (As a child, I was taught to make the sign of a cross to ward off the evil that was Phentex.)

Originally written on Sports Injury Alert | Last updated 11/14/14
Michigan will play Iowa State today at 5:00 pm ET, but it will be without 6′-10″ sophomore center Mitch McGary. When questioned Friday about McGary's return from a lower back injury, Michigan head coach John Beilein was obviously tired of being asked. He told reporters; "If he dresses, he'll play, but we'll decide if he dresses when he's ready. So if you ever see him in warmups, he's going to play." There has been no sign of McGary in warm-ups in Ames, so he's obviously not playing today. McGary averaged 7.5 points and 6.6 rebounds as a freshman. I would not expect to see McGary play against Long Beach State on Thursday or Coppin State on Friday. McGary made it pretty obvious when he intends to return. Brendan F. Quinn of MLive.com reports he was present when McGary was asked if he might be back in time for the December 3rd game at Duke. Quinn reports that the All American said, "in no uncertain terms", that he will be in uniform and play against Duke. That sounds like pretty rel

Cooking times will vary based on your oven temperature, turkey size, and whether or not your turkey is full of stuffing. For example, a medium size, 12-pound stuffed turkey can take anywhere from 3½ to 4½ hours to cook in a 325 degrees F oven. A meat thermometer is the most accurate way to determine doneness—experts advise that a turkey is done when the temperature reaches 180 degrees F in the thigh, and 165 degrees F in the breast and stuffing.
Some roaster sets include lifters, tools to help you transfer heavy turkeys from the pan to the cutting board or serving plate. These tools are specially designed to help you lift safely and securely. After you've moved the turkey, let it stand for 15 minutes before carving, preferably beneath a sheet of aluminum foil to retain heat. This rest time will allow it to reabsorb some of its juices, resulting in a moister, more delicious turkey.

It'll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sound can't stop until they've completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the stupid cocaine...and the entire MIAMI CONNECTION!!!

The Department of Homeland Security is working to ensure small businesses are included in the increasingly complex multi-award, governmentwide acquisition environment.
"For a long time the rules were written as though there would be a single award" per contract, Kevin Boshears, Director of DHS Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization at an acquisition conference on July 11.
"Now there are multiple awards. We try to identify small businesses up front" in creating contracts, he said. In today's Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) and Multiple Award Contract (MAC) world, Boshears said, federal agencies have to make a commitment to use small businesses that might otherwise be overshadowed by bigger companies in the contracting process.
The magic of acquisition
Small businesses have always had challenges in federal contracting. The government has a variety of set-aside programs and other preferences established for small firms in certain categories. It also has an overall target for small-business contracting – 23 percent of contracting dollars – which it has never actually hit. According to the Small Business Administration, the government usually comes close to the goal. Small businesses earned 22.25 percent of federal contracting dollars in fiscal 2012, and 21.65 percent in fiscal 2011.
Speaking at a panel discussion on small business issues at the Multiple-Award Government and Industry Conference (MAGIC), in Alexandria, Va., Boshears said DHS has identified portions of larger contracts that small businesses can participate in and sometimes outperform bigger contractors. He cited DHS' Program Management, Administrative, Clerical and Technical Services, a department-wide service contract for acquiring non-IT service solutions. This procurement effort is a 100 percent set-aside for service-disabled veteran owned small businesses. PACTS, he said, provides program management, administrative, clerical and technical services at the department.
"The key is to have the authority to do set-asides through task orders," he said.
The new contracting environment, through efforts like the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative, emphasizes saving money. Yet prices for goods and services in the multiple-source contract environment, said Emily Murphy, Senior Counsel at the House Committee on Small Business, can be deceiving.
"Price isn't the only thing. You have to look at the overall value." Small businesses, she said, can offer expertise in specialized areas that a larger company may not have. So, she said, a higher price may not reflect a company's expertise and its effect on an agency's operations or bottom line.
Murphy said her committee continues to look at ways to keep small businesses from having to compete with huge government contractors as they grow. Small businesses who find success can often add an employee or three or a hundred, pushing them into out of the small business category defined by the Small Business Administration and lose the contracting benefits small businesses qualify for. It's a hard balance to strike. "We don't want to lose the expertise, but we also don't want to block other small businesses."

Add a light brown eye shadow to the outside corner of lids (Image 2). Follow with a darker brown eye shadow in the crease and blend well (Image 3). The goal is to have your shadow fade from white to light brown to dark brown. Add some green eye shadow to the darkest part of the brown shadow in your crease (Image 4). Line your waterline, which is the inside of your eyelid, with a shimmering green pencil liner. Extend the color even below the waterline onto your lash line, and make sure the green is vibrant (Image 5).
Create Dramatic Eyes
Use black liquid eyeliner to create a thick cat eye. Start at the center and wing out, then go back to the inner corners and connect the line all the way across your lid (Image 1). Curl lashes, and add mascara to top and bottom lashes (Images 2 and 3). Apply false lashes, making sure the lashes are longest at the edges (Image 4). Cut them to fit if necessary.
Apply Lip Color
Line lips with brownish-red pencil liner (Image 1). Fill in lips with bright red pencil liner, then cover all with a bright red shade of lipstick (Images 2 and 3).
Apply Green Makeup
Begin to apply green eye shadow around the edges of your face and in your cheek contour (Images 1 and 2). Blend 2-3 shades of green in a gradient starting at your hairline and working outward. Choose a deep forest-green shade, a Kelly green and a lime shade; at least one of your shadows should have shimmer in it. Blend the shadows together well, making sure to shade the edges of the jawline and chin and extend the shading down the neck as well.
Green Eyeshadow for Garden Goddess Makeup Tutorial
Begin to blend green eyeshadow around the edges of your face and in your cheek contour. Blend 2 to 3 shades of green in a gradient starting at your hairline, and working outward. Choose a deep forest green shade, a Kelly green and a lime shade; at least one of your shadows should have shimmer in it.

Choose a deep forest green shade, a Kelly green and a lime shade; at least one of your shadows should have shimmer in it.
Add Vines
With shimmering green eyeliner pencil, add swirly vines stemming from the hairline, reaching toward the center of the face without going too far into your cheeks (Images 1 and 2). Use a white liquid eyeliner to define each vine, being careful to use a light hand and not load the brush up with too much product so the lines aren't too pronounced (Image 3). Add some subtle dots with the white liquid liner for texture, then use green glitter liner to trace around the vines (Image 4). Dot some loose yellow or light green glitter over the design for added sparkle (Image 5).
Finish the Look
Apply a dab of glue to the back of each glittered leaf and position them on the vines (Image 1). Add red lip-gloss to lips for the finishing touch (Image 2). Curl hair and spray it in place, or wear a costume wig to change your hair color.

University, steelmaker strike new R&D partnership
by MBJ Staff
Published: January 17,2013
Tags: automaker, automobile, higher education, manufacture, manufacturer, manufacturing, partnership, public university, research and development, steel, steelmaker, vehicle
STARKVILLE —Mississippi State University and steelmaker Severstal North America (SNA) has established a research partnership aimed at helping grow the region's high-tech manufacturing economy and foster national and international participation in ferrous alloy education and development.
MSU's Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems and SNA recently launched the Steel Research Center to establish and operate a steelmaking technology hub.
"We plan to deploy enhanced capabilities in multi-scale modeling and characterization developed at Mississippi State, and utilize steelmaking expertise from industrial partners, like SNA, to guide current and future R&D activities at the new center," said Roger King, CAVS director and Giles Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The 4,000-square-foot SRC is located in the Edwards Reactor Building on Herbert Street on the university's main campus.
According to King, the SRC with the support of SNA technical advisors will help drive advanced predictive capabilities focusing on steel manufacturing processes and the design of new alloys for key flat rolled products to support the steel consuming industries.
"We envision the SRC as a completely functional laboratory that will simulate critical processing steps used in the steel manufacturing industry, using both lab-scale processing equipment and robust numerical tools," he said.
SNA has contributed funding to support the SRC in purchasing a state-of-the-art melting furnace with vacuum capability. The commissioning of the lab-scale furnace is set for later this year.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with such a prestigious university to further educate young people on the advanced technologies in the steelmaking process. Through this association, Severstal hopes to participate in the development of metallurgical and material engineers at MSU and receive the benefit of laboratory scale product and process improvement trials," said Chris Kristock, vice president for quality and product development for SNA.
The university's partnership with SNA includes plans to acquire additional equipment, including a rolling mill and a heat-treat furnace.

Cannot understand why this is supposedly oil free when it is oily on my eyes, makes them blurry, I hate it!!
If you are looking for a great eye makeup remover, try the body shop camomille eye remover, the old version, works great, and isn't greasy one bit!!

First of all, I love Neutrogena. I love most of their cosmetics, but this... this is just a one big disaster. I don't know how they can state that this product oil-free where all I can feel on my face and fingers is pure oil. This is extremely oily formula and you have to wash your face very well after this.
And if you make makeup mistakes and try to use it to fix it, you can't reapply makeup in the same place because it's extremely oily in that spot.
No, No, No.

- does an amazing job of easily removing all facial makeup
- although it is oil free, your skin will feel very oily afterwards. You'll have to either wipe it off or wash your face.

This is the one that I return to all the time. I've tried many different types of eye makeup removers, including gels, liquids, wipes, but none have been as effective and gentle as this one.
Pros: VERY effective, but also doesn't sting my eyes like some other brands. Pretty lavender colored packaging.
Cons: Could be cheaper, and the bottle opening could also be smaller to minimize spillage. Mild chemical smell.

Finally found my go-to eye makeup remover. Used to use creams/lotions for removing eye makeup but was never really satisfied with the results and all the rubbing that was required to get the makeup off was so annoying. With this product, the makeup comes off so easily, it is super effective, but it does not irritate the eyes at all. Some people may find that it feels a bit oily (although it claims to be oil-free), but since I am only using it on my eyes and the sensation fades quickly, I don´t mind too much.

This product works really well and even though it does say oil free it feels oily when I'm using it and always have to wash my face afterwards. I've been paying $1 forever for my previous makeup remover so this price jump wasn't something I was happy to do but it seems like it's going to last because the tiniest bit takes off a whole eyes worth of makeup. I think the packaging could have been better maybe in a squirt bottle because your hands do get slimy and it's hard to hold and tip it over for more. So yes I'd buy it again because it works great but if you don't like the feeling of oil then it won't be for you.

This remover almost makes taking off your makeup as enjoyable as putting it on! A few drops on a cotton pad whisks off long-wear eye makeup, and 24-hour wear lip color. It is the only thing I have found that really WORKS. I just place a cotton pad on the opened bottle, turn it over to soak a few drops through the pad, and that is more than enough for both eyes and lips. It does not smear, does not make my eyes tear, rinses off easily, and allows me to concentrate on the rest of my cleansing routine, without having to go back and do it over. The bottle lasts about 6 months, with daily use. I live in a rural area, where everything costs more; this is well worth the price.

Barack Obama loves his Chicago Bears. It's a fact he's never been afraid to share with the American people (or rival teams).
On Friday, Obama welcomed the 1985 Super Bowl champion Bears to the White House — 25 years after they won their title. (Watch the video here.)
"This is as much fun as I will have as president of the United States," Obama said during a press conference on the South Lawn.
Days after Da Bears stomped the Patriots 46-10 with the help of Super Bowl MVP Richard Dent's 1 1/2 sacks and two forced fumbles, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff, stunning the nation and postponing Chicago's visit.

So happy we chose this B&B!Posted Jan 28, 2015
We were here on a college/pleasure weekend. We stayed in the family room which had our own private bath. The room was very clean and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was just enough to start your day. Mini quiches, toast, cereals, yogurt, eggs, and very delicious coffee. All of the restaurants and stores are within walking distance of the B & B. The hospitality staff was wonderful. We will definitely come back here when we visit Cambridge.

Goodness close to campusPosted Jan 19, 2015
We stayed here because it was close to downtown Boston without paying downtown prices. Cambridge is a nice community and the Irving House was ideal as it was within walking distance of the entire Harvard campus as well as surrounding shopping, dining, etc. The staff was very nice and the room was large and comfortable. We had a family room that worked well for us. The beds were comfortable and with it being winter, there were extra blankets in the room, though the quilts were heavy enough we didn't need anything else. They have snacks until about 10 at night in the breakfast room and it was a nice quiet place to talk in the evening or play a game of cards. The breakfast was good, not great with a decent selection of pastries, oatmeal, and egg sandwiches, etc. Call it a heavy continental breakfast. Overall we were pleased with our stay and if we were in Boston would stay there again.

PERFECT PLACE FOR A VISIT TO CAMBRIDGE & BOSTON!Posted Jan 11, 2015
Pros: The ambience. The comfort and privacy of double-decker beds in the room (with curtains). The coffee cakes and varieties of tea and coffee available.
Cons: Please serve scrambled eggs!
Location: Less than 10-min walk to Harvard Square. Less than 5-min walk to the Harvard University compound.
I highly recommend the Family Room for anyone traveling with children or in groups of four. The room has a queen-sized bed, with a double decker and curtains that gives much needed privacy during long stays. I traveled with my boyfriend and two brothers, and my brothers loved having their own beds where they could read, surf the Net etc. The internet provided is very reliable and fast. I loved the breakfast served every morning - although, I wish they served scrambled eggs instead of the quiches! I think scrambled eggs would make the whole stay absolutely perfect! That was my only dissatisfaction - no scrambled eggs! I loved the whole feel of this B&B. It used to house Harvard students. Every bedroom is decorated with books - and if you like any of them, you can take them home! How awesome is that?! The breakfast area stays open till 11pm every night - and it's just so lovely to go down for a cup of tea, and coffee cakes (delicious!) just to get some privacy and unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The location is perfect - it is walking distance to Harvard University, and Harvard Square. The area feels safe, and it's wonderful to walk and enjoy the whole feel of this college town. I also loved the bathrooms and showers! I recommend the Family room on the first floor (ground). "This place is perfect!", said my brother. =)

a charming B&BPosted Dec 28, 2014 on Hotels.com
My ratings might be a bit unfair given that this is a B&B and not a hotel. The lack of amenities is expected; however, I did think even as a B&B the actual bed rooms could use some updates.

very cute and cozyPosted Dec 28, 2014
I loved the place, very home-like, cute, and cozy! especially for the holiday season. Room was very clean, above my expectations. I gave 4 stars for the condition just because the room got quite chilly during the night and we had to turn on external heating.

Two hits and not much else
First, please know that the Editorial Review on this page is NOT for this album. Dont know how they messed that up, but they did. -- John Fogerty created a unique sound and the band remained great as long as John was allowed to control that sound. Unfortunately the rest of the band wanted to try their own hand at creating the sound for this album and as a result the only good songs here are to two hits that John controlled. The rest of the album simply isn't very good.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
