Why is my dog barking at my laptop?
Good job reading the summary:
"The Microsoft Research team is reporting a 90-100% accuracy rate for SoundWave, even in noisy environments."
Why is my dog barking at my laptop?
Because that is not really your laptop, you moron! It is a polymimetic-type Terminator! Your dog is trying to warn you! Run for your life!
Fun office game for the younger crowd: Let the old geezers think you can't find the source of the sound. Let them have their little fun now at the end of their lives, this is pretty much the high point for them.
Computer: Hi there, I see you are giving me the middle finger salute. Would you like help with:

Even in B2B markets, customer loyalty can accelerate growth and create a competitive advantage.

Net Promoter companies commit to a set of values and processes that help everyone focus on earning the passionate loyalty of customers and employees.
Customer loyalty has never been more important for utilities, since liberalization in European markets makes it easy for consumers to switch providers. Bain's study on customer loyalty reveals the most common reasons for staying or leaving.

To book your eyebrow consultation with Alisha Noon, call 604-218-6000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I am SO glad I'm not the only one! Honestly, it was Beyonce's brow change about a couple of years or so ago that made me think… hmmm… thicker might be better. (I think Dreamgirls changed her mind.) And then, a rude brow stylist, right after I complained about how thin my brow hair was growing with age, said, "you know a thicker brow is a sign of youth." Wow. Thanks a lot dear.
But that set the wheels in motion. It took me 6 months of growing out, and I just got them cleaned up two weeks ago. "Arch?" She asked… "No" I said… and I have been in love with them ever since. (My hubby loves too!) But seeing it on here just makes me feel SO much better… so glad I trusted my gut.
Thicker IS better!
Wow, six months is a long time. Good for you! I think it's super important to work with a brow stylist that gets you — makes the world of difference.
thicker brows make you look instantly younger! fill them in, and even better. i remember the thin brow trend – eep! great post.
oh gosh, this is like the story of my life, I'm trying to grow my eyebrows right now and I'm at your 'before grooming' stage! I now wished I lived in Vancouver! Do you know anyone who is just as good in London? I'm about to travel in a week and would love to have my eyebrows 'groomed' before amy trip! x
My mom made the mistake of overplucking when she was young, and her brows have never grown in very well since. (Most Asian girls have sparse brows to start with anyway.) "I used to have nice thick brows like yours," she said wistfully to me when I was a teen. Thanks to her, I've never overplucked and just got rid of the stray hairs under my arch.
Nice to know there are so many thick brows out there just waiting to come come out!
Sadly, I don't know where to go in London, but I prefer plucking over threading (I prefer threading for the upper lip and chin) for a more natural look.
Good luck! And congrats!
My mom did the same… But I didn't listen to her (as usual). Thankfully, my dad's hairy genes worked in my favour.
Love this! I wish I had enough hair to do thicker brows.
I've been trying my grow out my brow hairs for months now. I've been using a brow hair growth serum (Rimmel) sparingly but am not sure if it works or if it's just psychological. Any suggestions? Thanks for the post!
I forgot to mention – I did use Ardell's Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator. I'd already been using it for about two years before going for the "full brow"… and it's always worked brilliantly for me. Only downfall is that if you stop using it, the effects do wear off, but for the amazing price, I could care less… I feel really lucky to have found it and I hope they never ever ever discontinue it!
Fascinating! I was lucky that they just grew naturally, but those things are super helpful. I'm glad most of them work.
I just went to Alisha before my LA trip at the beginning of the month and I am LOVING my brows! Best $$ I've ever spent on…brows
You look beautiful in all of the pics. You have gorgeous eyes! I thought that is you pluck your eyebrows they don't grow back. Judging from your pics, it seems that is not true
Sometimes they grow back and sometimes they don't. I was lucky!
Alisha rocks!

Berlusconi's Mediaset Studying Merging Key Pay-TV Holdings
MADRID -- Silvio Berlusconi's Mediaset said Wednesday it is studying combining its key European pay-TV holdings, including 100 percent of the Mediaset Premium in Italy and 22 percent of Mediaset Spain, which owns pay platform Digital Plus, as well as the options and rights held by each of the two sides.
The study is designed to examine the potential development at the international level, possible synergies, over-the-top services expansion and the financial and industrial alliances of each company.
Mediaset and Mediaset Spain said they will present the study's results at their next board meetings.

My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
1 bunch kale, crumpled to soften and torn into pieces
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cup shelled edamame
1/2 cup cashews
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup shredded carot
chopped red onion to taste
Optional: blueberries
Mix in large bowl, dress with pomegranate viniagrette dressing.
I would probably replace the dried cranberries with pomegranate pips and use cider or balsamic vinegar because I don't like my salads that sweet. Baby spinach would be good in this too, as would be dried acai berries. This salad could also be good with broccoli cut small and other kinds of nuts such as walnuts or pine nuts.View Thread
Some vegetables retain plenty of nutrition when cooked, things like carrots, tomatoes, beets, broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, etc. So no need to eat those raw. Do you have any issues with the fiber in fruit?
Additionally, lettuce and scallions are mostly water and insoluble fiber, so you aren't getting much nutrition from them anyway. If all else fails, there are some fairly good quality vitamins you can get, shop sales and it doesn't have to be horribly expensive.View Thread
General guidelines: More moving, less sugar, less processed foods. But take it slow so it's sustainable.
Ideas for increased movement:
Heft your grocery bags a few extra times when carrying them to your home.
Do a little weight training with food cans.
Park a little farther away from your destination. This helps protect your car from dents, too!
Take short walks or a few wall-pushups as you can, a few minutes each.
Ideas for decreased sugar:
Mix your fruit juices with water.
Try for one less can of soda per day.
Reduce the sugar in your coffee by half.
Don't give up dessert, but reduce the amount of it.
Drink more water or more low calorie flavored water or tea.
Ideas for increased whole foods:
Try adding some vegetables to pre existing foods that you already eat. Cut up carrots in soup, for example, or a little romaine in your sandwich, a little spinach on your sub. Just examples, adjust for your taste.
Have more herbs/spices in your foods.
Have a handful of almonds for a snack.
Eat a piece of fruit when you crave something sugary.
Try brown rice instead of white, or whole pasta instead of white.
Have butter instead of margarine. The body needs a small amount of real fat.
Have hard cheese instead of soft, processed cheese.
Obciously, I don't have any clue of your normal habits, but I think you get the idea. The idea here is to just pick a few of these suggestions, even just one or two. Use that to build your new habits. Always make it as convenient as possible for yourself to make your new changes, even if it means a little extra prep time.View Thread
Daifuku is a japanese dessert that is gluten free. It is made with mochi, which is basically pounded rice, and it has sweet azuki beans as the filling. It looks like a little bun and it's steamed. It's way better than it sounds.
I like making cheesecake and about all I have to do to make it gluten free is substitute the crust for something made with almond flour.
I'm not celiac but I do like going gluten free periodically.View Thread
Fruit instead of candy is an easy thing to do, comparatively cheap, and most fruit doesn't need to be prepared.
Cut up vegetables instead of chips is fairly easy to prepare and portable too with a one time investment of zip-lock baggies or small plastic containers. You can even use old cottage cheese tubs if you travel.
Stevia packets instead of sugar packets are a little more expensive but just as convenient.
Tea or watered down fruit juice instead of soda is a little cheaper and almost convenient.
If you have a particular healthy meal you like, make a bunch of it on a weekend day, this is good to do during TV shows if you watch them. Actually, TV time offers a lot of opportunity for healthy cooking, especially if you are baking or making soup or stew. A crock pot is good too.
Don't worry about replacing your whole diet. Just start with one or two better choices. Then build from there. Set micro goals, like eating a healthier snack, or having one less can of soda a day, or whatever it may be. Start with something that will save you money, and let that build your confidence. For example, I have an unhealthy obsession with salty snack foods. If I went from chips to popcorn, I'd save money as well as calories. Or if I went from a candy bar to an apple, I'd save money as well as calories. Try to pick substitutions that satisfy similar cravings, like don't replace ice cream with nuts, for example.
Being healthy does cost more effort, but it doesn't have to be hard if you are smart about it. Usually expending more effort reduces the cost too.View Thread
Yes, you can theoretically die from food borne illness gotten from chicken. Or any other raw meat. That's more likely to happen in people who are old, young, or who have compromized immune systems. Healthy people sometimes do get food poisoning, sure, but I haven't heard of them dying from it nearly as often.
Personally, I don't freak out too much about food prep. I wash my hands, scrape the cutting board (it's wood so it has antibacterial properties), and cook at a decent temperature. Rare chicken is nasty anyway. I don't get food poisoning very often and I'm obviously still alive. I don't sanitize everything with bleach water every time I cook or anything like that.View Thread

Skryne U16's Division 1 League Champions
In the Division 1 decider Skryne overcame the challenge of Donaghmore / Ashbourne by four goals in Ratoath.The winners raised two green flags inside the opening five minutes with strikes from Darragh Campion and Jason Reddy. Donaghmore Ashbourne were dealt a major blow when midfielder Ciaran Crowther was red carded by referee Paul Mooney. To their credit the 'Moores' dominated the remainder of the half and a fine Stephen Fenton goal sent the teams in […]
A Week to Remember
What a week, well actually six days only. Most clubs would give their proverbial right arm for a fraction of such a week. Starting last Tuesday evening (13 May), our under 16s were winners over Donaghmore/Ashbourne in their final. Then on Friday our seniors looked all set to suffer a second defeat.

Skryne Advance with win over Blackhall Gaels.
Skryne 3 – 13, Blackhall Gaels 1 – 16 Skryne took both points in this Senior Football Championship clash with Blackhall Gaels which was played in Dunshaughlin on Friday evening. This was a real roller coaster of a game with more twists and turns that an average Irish weather forecast. Games have often been described as "a game of two halves". This would best be described, from a Skryne point of view, as "a […]

Bengaluru has shades of old and new that it has to be visited to be understood. On one side lies the old streets of Chikkapette and Doddapete, established in the sixteenth century by Kempe Gowda I, the founder of Bengaluru. On the other side lies the dozens of IT companies that form India's Silicon Valley. The heart of Bengaluru dates back to the Vijayanagar Empire. Large parts of the city still invoke the days of the Raj with names like Cubbon Park and Wilson Garden. Bengaluru displays a strongly cosmopolitan ambience and is known for its pubs serving draught beer and its popularity as a venue for western rock concerts. With its numerous Gardens and Parks and pleasant climate, Bengaluru is also known for its tranquility.
Bengaluru is famous for its gardens as well, so a visit to Cubbon Park and Lal Bagh are a must to get an idea of how lush greenery can provide a welcome respite. The Vidhan Soudha, the Bengaluru Palace, and Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace and the Fort are some of the important buildings of note. The ISKCON Temple complex and the Bull temple draw visitors from all over the country. Other attractions close by are the Sri Sathya Saibaba ashram at Whitefield, the Bannerghatta National Park and the scenic Nandi Hills.
Travelling around one of fastest growing cities in India can be a challenge – unless you call Mega Cabs. Call +91-80-47474747 at any time of day or night and within minutes, a metered, well-appointed, air-conditioned taxi will arrive at your doorstep, ready to take you, quickly and safely to any destination in the city.

Goldie B. Floberg Board members retire
The Goldie B. Floberg Center Board met Thursday evening, Jan. 23, to honor and say goodbye to two amazing board members, Bonnie Moore and Georganne Eggers. The Goldie B. Floberg Center is extremely thankful for everything these two members have done for the individuals served and the agency as a whole.
Moore joined the Floberg Center's board in 1996 following the tradition of her father, George A. Palmer, who served many years as a member. Moore has held many positions on the board, including assistant secretary, vice chairman and chairman. With her reality experience, she helped aid the center in accomplishing their mission to move the people served from the center into group homes in the community.
Eggers was introduced to the Floberg Center as a child when she would accompany her mother, who served as a board member to the center on Kent Street. In 1967, Eggers joined the board and became the president in 1976. Eggers also served as the board secretary, vice president and chairman of several committees. She lives and breathes the Floberg mission.
The Goldie B. Floberg Center is grateful to both these board members for their amazing support and service through the years.

Injection molder and mold maker PlastiCert Inc. has received a 2013 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Excellence in Workplace Effectiveness and Flexibility.
Given by Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management, the Sloan award recognizes employers across the country. The Lewiston, Minn.-based company was picked because of its efforts to use flexibility in the workplace as part of a strategy "to achieve business goals and benefit employees by helping them meet their responsibilities on and off the job."
"The criteria is quite stringent and selection field is very exclusive", said PlastiCert owner and President Craig Porter, in a news release. "Management answers questions to get their organization through the first level of screening and become a finalist. The most telling aspect is that our co-workers are provided surveys that they answer anonymously for the selection committee to review. Combine that with being a small manufacturer and a lean workforce and we are truly proud of what we have put together at PlastiCert."
PlastiCert was founded in 1981, initially as a custom molder targeted at the electronics industry. Today the company serves customers in the telecommunications, industrial, computer, avionics and medical markets.

Alcohols are polar molecules (because of O-H and C- O). 2. Have higher boiling point than Alkanes, Alkenes & Alkynes due to Hydrogen bonding involves oxygen of one molecule and hydrogen of another in alcohol molecules. 3. As the molecular weight increase, boiling point decrease. 4. As the molecular weight increase, solubility in water decrease . 5. The solubility of alcohols in water is due to hydrogen bonding between alcohol and water molecules. 6. They are weak acids (weaker than Phenol). PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ALCOHOLS, cont. • The –OH group can hydrogen bond between alcohol molecules leading to relatively high boiling points. • Hydrogen bonding in pure ethanol: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ALCOHOLS • The –OH group is polar and capable of hydrogen bonding. • This makes low molecular weight alcohols highly soluble in water. • Hydrogen bonding in a water-methanol solution: Acidity of Alcohols pKa range: 15.5-18.0 (water: 15.7) Acidity decreases as alkyl group increases. Halogens increase the acidity.

Local McDonald's owner receives franchise's highest honor
Local business owner Sue Durlak recently was named the 2011 recipient of the Ronald Award from the McDonald's Corporation. The honor is presented annually to a McDonald's franchisee for outstanding service to the McDonald's brand and local community. Given to only one percent of McDonald's owner/operators nationwide, the award is the highest honor a region can bestow upon a franchisee, as well as the rarest to receive during a franchisee's career.
Durlak owns and operates 10 McDonald's restaurants, nine of which are located in Henrico County. Durlak plays a leadership role on several boards and fundraising committees, including the executive boards of the McDonald's Family of Restaurants of Greater Richmond and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond. Durlak is also the event chair for the charities' annual golf tournament and silent auction events and has raised over $1.4 million to-date. Her company, S.M. Durlak, Inc., also has provided sponsorships to local schools and programs.

One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

With the launch of its book in 2004, Art and Cook reintroduced cooking as an artistic pursuit of the senses rather than a task or necessity. A line of kitchenware supporting this philosophy soon followed. The Soak and Strain Bowl leaves more time for culinary creativity by melding two kitchen tasks into one, and doing away with extra dishes. Load it up with fruits or veggies, and tip the water out through the built-in strainer front when the contents are clean. The clever design will drain dirty water without letting out the good stuff.
Capacity 5.3qt. Withstands temperatures up to 220°F. Easy-grip handle on non-slip base. Handle enables one-handed operation.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - Without a doubt, Christianity challenges us every day. Our entrance into Heaven is not a guaranteed reality.
Self-reflection is necessary in order to find out if there are any particular sins or attachments that might prove to be obstacles to our achieving eternal salvation.
Many people in our present day have experienced profound conversions. The personal testimonies of life changing experiences bear continual witness to the ever-present action of the Holy Spirit in the lives of all those who are searching for happiness and peace.
However, conversion is a daily enterprise. Every day we are faced with choices and challenges that affect our relationship with the Lord. It is not easy to be faithful. But God's grace makes discipleship not only possible; it also makes it an amazing adventure.
We must not be surprised that Christianity essentially implies a daily, personal struggle. Commitment and battle go hand in hand. We have to take very seriously the fact that our human nature is wounded by Original Sin.
Every day presents a new opportunity to begin again. God's loving mercy is always available to us through the sacrament of Confession. It is precisely God's loving willingness to forgive our sins that fills us with the hope of eternal life.
Constancy in the spiritual life, especially under difficult circumstances, characterizes the existence of the true disciple of Christ.
This Sunday's Gospel passage is very demanding.
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where 'the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched'" (Mark 9: 47-49)
Most people in our country are well educated. It is common that people not only have a high school diploma, they also have a college degree. Many people continue their education and get a masters degree and some even get a doctorate.
Most people in our country have good jobs. They are successful and enterprising in their endeavors. It is safe to say that our country is a nation comprised of a people, for the most part, who are professional in what they do.
Wouldn't be nice if we were professional in our relationship with Jesus?
Wouldn't be nice if we were to put the same effort that we put into our education and our jobs into our spiritual life?
What is it that keeps people from being professional in their relationship with the Lord? The answer can be found in one of the seven deadly sins and that sin is sloth.
Sloth is a disease of the will.
What happens to the individual ruled by sloth?
People controlled by sloth don't get anything accomplished. People controlled by sloth are targets for every temptation that the devil has to offer. They just lie there on the ground like cow manure covered with flies. Flies can't stick to something that is moving fast. And people ruled by sloth have a real hard time getting into Heaven. They are too lazy to live out the demands of the Gospel.
If sloth is a problem for you, what can you do to get rid of it?
First of all, you have to have purpose in life. Once you figured out your purpose in life, you can fulfill the duties that are part of your state in life. Are you single? Are you married? Are you consecrated to God? Your state in life carries with it certain duties and obligation. Fulfill those duties with maturity, coherence, authenticity and perfection.
Secondly, you need to have a strong will. Remember that sloth has been defined as a disease of the will. So, it is going to be important to clean up the will by making it strong. Make your bed with perfection every morning; polish your shoes; dress correctly; be punctual for church and your daily appointments; and keep your room neat and tidy.
A sturdy and consistent spiritual life is essential. We have to stay connected to the Lord. He will give us strength and fill us with peace. The regular use of the sacrament of confession is essential. We need to stay spiritually alive. And when it comes to sin, we all get bent out of shape about the bad things that we do, but how many of us are concerned about the good things that we don't do because of laziness, tepidity and apathy?
Here is a challenge for this week. Do you want your life to change? Do you want to achieve progress in your spiritual life? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get to Heaven?
Take a few moments in order to analyze your good points and your weaknesses. Figure out what is your dominant defect. Develop a plan of action to eradicate that dominant defect from your life and stick to it.
Always make good use of the Sacrament of Confession. This is your best weapon in your fight against personal sin. Develop and be consistent with your daily spiritual life. Do not engage in this battle alone. Ask your spouse for help. Be accountable to each other. One of the purposes of marriage is the good of the spouses. Be accountable to your parish priest. He is trained to help you. Let your parish family be a source of inspiration, motivation and accountability.
Life is a struggle and it always will be.
We need to be excited about Jesus and his Church. We need to be excited about getting to Heaven and bringing others with us. We need to be excited about making this world a better place for everyone. We need to be professional Catholics. This is called personal holiness.
Don't let sloth ruin your chance of living a life filled with joy.
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where 'the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched'" (Mark 9: 47-49).

What every developer wants is access and the ability to shape any data across the Internet through one simple language, with out need to learn different APIs. Yahoo! Query Language (YQL) provides just that and its effectiveness will be demonstrated live at SYS-CON's 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, being held November 2-4 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
The demo will take place at a breakout session being given by Technical Yahoo! Jonathan Trevor.
YQL provides an extensible plugin model for connecting to any data source called Open Data Tables. Yahoo! deploys YQL as a functional cloud service, enabling developers to move their data focused business logic to the cloud where the processing takes place, and leverage Yahoo scale, content & infrastructure.
"The Yahoo! Query Language is an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter and join data across Web services in real-time," notes Trevor. "With YQL, applications run faster with fewer lines of code and smaller network footprint."
About the Speaker: Dr Jonathan Trevor works in the Y! Platform group. He innovates and creates various applications and services - e.g Yahoo! Query Language (YQL), Pipes, application platform. Previously he was a senior research scientist at FX Palo Alto Laboratory, working on mobile and ubiquitous systems, computer-supported cooperative work & human-computer interaction. He has a PhD in computer science, University of Lancaster, UK, 1995.

nodules on the base of tree leaves?
daninthedirt(Cent TX; HZ10, Sunset z30, USDA z8a)June 13, 2014
We had a storm last night, and some small branches from a next-door tree were knocked down in my yard. These branches have leaves with odd nodules at the base of many of them. See picture. What is this tree, and what are these nodules?
Ah, the nodules, when you break them open, are filled with tiny white wiggly things clinging to the inside of the cavity inside. So the nodules are caused by some invasive insect.
daninthedirt(Cent TX; HZ10, Sunset z30, USDA z8a)
Thank you. Looking up petigole gall aphids, they look exactly like what I see (in their immature phase.) I gather that somewhat later the tiny white aphids turn in to larger green bugs.
I've never seen these before on that tree. Sounds like these particular insects are stressors, but to not usually kill the tree.
