While a lot of people are waiting on a Spotify app, including me. I just remembered that when I had my Nokia N9, there was an official app, but also a third party app (MeeSpot). It was actually better than the official one. That means it is possible to make an spotify app, would be cool if anyone made one. Call it Metrofy or something
Its just a question im asking myself since there is possible to make one, no one have made one. Ofcouse, i am not a developer so I don't know how hard it is, but I would be a nice way to make some money. I would gladly pay for a spotify app. -
While Spotify is a great app, there are many MANY alternatives. I can't really figure out why I should use Spotify over Last.fm etc. Nokia Music, I think, is even better.
while there are many great alternatives for the "radio" portion of Spotify, the on demand-ness of Spotify is pretty nice, and isn't offered in Nokia Music. the Amazing Music app offers a similar (and free) experience to what the Spotify app would bring, but I would like to be able to access my playlists that I already have on Spotify on my phone.
while doing a twitter search for "windows phone spotify" i saw that some people on Windows Phone 7 can access the spotify app? I was under the impression that it was taken down, I have WP8 and see no access -

On-chip switching of a silicon nitride micro-ring resonator based on digital microfluidics platform |
Optics Express, Vol. 18, Issue 24, pp. 24762-24769 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (991 KB)
We demonstrate the switching of a silicon nitride micro ring resonator (MRR) by using digital microfluidics (DMF). Our platform allows driving micro-droplets on-chip, providing control over the effective refractive index at the vicinity of the resonator and thus facilitating the manipulation of the transmission spectrum of the MRR. The device is fabricated using a process that is compatible with high-throughput silicon fabrication techniques with buried highly doped silicon electrodes. This platform can be extended towards controlling arrays of micro optical devices using minute amounts of liquid droplets. Such an integration of DMF and optical resonators on chip can be used in variety of applications, ranging from biosensing and kinetics to tunable filtering on chip.

Mumbai: 'Murder 3' fame actress Sara Loren is geared up for her next titled 'Barkhaa' being produced under Zahara Productions. In the film, she is paired with 'Luv Ka The End' and 'Gippi' fame actor Taaha Shah.
Talking about the film, the actress said it is a love story.
"In life, we all fall in love and tend to change thereafter. Some people become good, while some become weird. The best thing about love is that it is effective. Where there is love, there is lot of stir and this story ('Barkhaa') is also like that," Sara told reporters here Wednesday at the launch of the film.
'Murder 3' fame actress Sara Loren is geared up for her next titled 'Barkhaa' with Taaha Shah.
"This film narrates the story of a boy who falls in love with a girl and how his life changes after that and how the girl's life changes because of his love," she added.
'Barkhaa', being directed by Shadaab Mirza, will also see actors Priyanshu Chatterjee and Punit Issar in key roles.
Slated to release later this year, the movie will go on floors Jan 27.

Of all the traditions in the Catholic Church, the tradition of venerating and admiring saints is perhaps one of the best loved practices for the faithful. This ancient tradition dates back to the early first century when worshipers experienced and told of miracles that occurred at the graves of martyrs that they had witnessed with "their own two eyes". At that time in history these occurrences proved to be an expression of faith that gave courage and affirmation in times which were very dangerous and literally life threatening. The idea that "those who had gone before us" could manifest the residue of holiness after death was both encouraging and sustaining for people who were desperately trying to keep the faith.
John Paul II was criticized for canonizing and beatifying more saints during his pontificate than all the popes before him combined, 563 to be exact. But, could it be that he understood the practicality of saints in a way that previous pontiffs did not? When we read or hear about a saint, we focus on their holiness or great deeds or willingness to sacrifice. There is another dimension to sainthood, however, that we ought to consider. As John Paul II understood, saints are ordinary people who managed to do extraordinary things. The truth is that most saints started out as no different than you or I and managed to live their faith in a way that went beyond the norm. The majority of saints canonized by John Paul II were not from a distant past but people who lived in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They were from all walks and cultures, people just trying to make it in the modern world. These real life heroes and heroines had no super powers and are real people who can be admired and emulated, giving us great courage and hope for ourselves.
Though people of the fourth century, both St. Monica (August 27) and In North-Africa, around 343, Monica was given in marriage at the earliest age possible (probably 12 - 15). She had been born and raised in a Christian family. Her husband, Patricius however, was a pagan and by Augustine's own account, a man filled with anger and rage. They had three children together and early in the marriage, he died, leaving her a single mom. By all reports, shortly before his death, Patricius became a converted and changed man due to his wife's influence. In addition, his Mother, who intensely disliked Monica, came to be one of her biggest advocates.
After her husband's death, Monica focused all her efforts on her children, especially Augustine. It seems that despite his Mom's example, Augustine was undeniably enticed to "the good life" in the cosmopolitan cities of The prayers of a Mother are said to have a special efficacy. Augustine himself said this about his Mom's fervent intercession for him: "…it was not possible that the son of such tears should perish". Augustine was baptized at Easter 387 by Ambrose and then ordained in 391. He became Bishop of Hippo (modern Algeria) in 396 and continued working for the nascent church for thirty-four more years. But that's not all. Augustine is considered by the Church to be one of the most influential theologians of all time. His writings include stunning works like City of
What if Monica had quit at year thirty-two? The story of Monica and Augustine is a triumph for the Church. But more than that, it is a story for you and me. Are you a Mom who needs encouragement? Are you a son or daughter who is tired of listening to your Mom's worries about you? Look at Monica and Augustine, maybe you have more to accomplish than you ever imagined. Maybe your Mom is right? St. Monica (332-387 C.E.) is remembered on August 27.

Fortuyn, Pim (1948-2002)
His supporters saw in him a savior, a messiah, a saint, and they compared him to Martin Luther King, Jr., President Kennedy, and Princess Diana. His adversaries compared him to Hitler and Mussolini, threw urine at him, and sent him death threats. The immaculately dressed, openly gay, hard-hitting Wilhelmus Petrus Simon Fortuyn--or Professor Pim, as he called himself--liked to stir up controversy. Fortuyn was in the Dutch political spotlight for only a few months, yet he managed to change the modern Netherlands. In the wake of his assassination in 2002, the electorate ousted a liberal government, and all major parties shifted their positions rightward, especially in the area of immigration, shifts that some people have seen as making the nation less tolerant than it had been and that others contend are necessary to preserve Dutch liberalism. The Netherlands remains committed to equal rights for gay men and lesbians, and has led in the area of same-sex marriage. Other liberal social policies are also secure. For example, the possession and sale of small amounts of marijuana remain decriminalized, as do certain forms of euthanasia. Similarly, prostitution is still legal and regulated. But immigrants and refugees, especially from Muslim countries, are less welcome than they had been, at least in part as a result of Fortuyn's forceful protest against the threat to Dutch values that he saw posed by Muslim religious radicals. For glbtq culture specifically, Fortuyn matters in two respects. First, Fortuyn was not closeted. Since he lived in the Netherlands, his sexual orientation was, it is said, a non-issue, though it is worth noting that no other leading Dutch politician has declared his or her homosexuality. Second, although Fortuyn was frowned on by some gay activists as extremist because of his perceived right-wing positions, he was admired by many glbtq people who saw him as articulating their concerns over the intolerance of a growing Islamic minority. It may also be the case that, although Fortuyn thought of himself as defending glbtq rights against the threat of religious radicals, since his death his party has supported political changes that have negatively affected some gay people, especially refugees from Iran and other countries that persecute sexual minorities. Biography Fortuyn was born on February 19, 1948 to a large Catholic middle-class family. He grew up in suburban surroundings, which he found suffocating and from which he longed to break away. He found refuge in Catholicism. Indeed, as an altar boy, he had visions of becoming Pope one day. As a teenager, Fortuyn discovered his homosexuality. As he freely admitted, he quickly began a life of great promiscuity. In 1967, he matriculated at the University of Amsterdam, majoring in sociology. After a few months, he transferred to the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. He received the academic degree Doctorandus in 1971. Fortuyn pursued an academic career as a lecturer as the Nyenrode Business Universiteit and, then, as an associate professor at the University of Groningen. In 1981, he received a Ph. D. in sociology from the University of Groningen. From 1991 to 1995, he taught at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. When his contract was discontinued, Fortuyn embarked on a career as a public intellectual, writing books and newspaper columns, and becoming increasingly involved in politics. A dynamic speaker, he earned hefty fees for his lectures. When he emerged on the political scene, Fortuyn was widely regarded as a breath of fresh air in a decidedly sober and low-key country, where, as a Dutch saying goes, "if you behave normally, you are already behaving madly enough." He declared himself successor to a charismatic but controversial Dutch politician, Joan van der Capellen tot den Pol, an eighteenth-century revolutionary. Appearances mattered to Professor Pim. He wore designer suits, sported brightly colored ties, shaved his head, lived in an Italian-style villa adorned with precious artifacts, cherished his two lap dogs, enjoyed the services of a butler and a chauffeur who drove a black Daimler displaying a family crest (in a country where most people ride bicycles), smoked Cuban cigars, and clad himself in politically incorrect fur. Although Fortuyn was entirely comfortable with his sexuality, his pronounced effeminacy and campy flamboyance alienated some of his acquaintances. He described himself as a "self-proclaimed homosexual, more feminine than every woman in the Cabinet, an aesthete and grass roots democrat, a desperado, a Dadaist with a skull of a gladiator."

Fair share: I take it from Mike Marshall's editorial that he doesn't like the
outcome of the election in District 35. I imagine there are many people
in District 35 that don't like Mike Marshall, too. I happen to be one of
Hang up: Using cell phones while driving is just as bad as drinking whiskey or
beer. Just look what took place in Daphne. When the truth comes out, it
will be shown that she was driving while using a cell phone. One dead
and three badly injured; outlaw the cell phones
and put them in a felony classification.
Mistrial: The jury system they have in Mobile is ridiculous. I live 40 miles from
the courthouse one way. I drove a total of 80 miles this morning in the
middle of Mardi Gras, and they didn't even need me. I asked for
something to show my boss for work and they said
not to worry about it. Not to mention the $14.50 I had to pay for
parking by the civic center, when it should have been two dollars. So
I'm out 80 miles worth of gas, a day's work, and $12.50 for parking. Not
only that, but someone broke my window out. I think
we need to rethink the jury system.
Cheap shots: As a native Mobilian, I do my best to ignore J.D. Crowe's columns and
opinion pieces. But his opinion piece on January 30, with his
tongue-in-cheek remarks about men going to war "to protect our right to
have fake womenfolk and sister/cousins" was sickening.
I had just seen on the news a picture of a young man who had lost all
four limbs and certainly thought his reasons for serving his country
deserved more than these disgusting anti-military remarks.
Blast off: Iran's president said that he'd like to be their first astronaut and go
into space since they now have the capability. In my opinion, he's
already in space, but I hope they honor his request.

No. 11 Cincinnati 72, Marshall 56
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP)
Cincinnati found a way to stay unbeaten without a big offensive game from top scorer Sean Kilpatrick.
Cashmere Wright scored 14 points, including three 3-pointers during a key second-half run, and No. 11 Cincinnati beat Marshall 72-56 on Saturday.
Cincinnati improved to 10-0 for the second time in three seasons and the 10th time in school history.
The Bearcats shot 61.5 percent after halftime after struggling early.
They put the game away without leaning on Kilpatrick, who tied a season low with 13 points, seven below his average. The junior finished 5 of 15 from the floor, including a 1-for-7 effort before halftime.
''Ugliest first half of my life,'' Kilpatrick said. ''But I was able to get in the second half and make shots for my team, rebound the ball and (play) defense. That's something we preach about every day. Defense wins games on the road.''
Justin Jackson added 10 for the Bearcats. D.D. Scarver and Elijah Pittman scored 20 points apiece for Marshall (6-5).
Cincinnati broke open a tight game with a 13-4 run midway through the second half.
Marshall's Tamron Manning was called for an intentional foul to keep Shaquille Thomas from scoring on a fast break. Thomas made both free throws, Cincinnati got the ball back and Wright made three 3-pointers over the next 1:37 to give the Bearcats a 52-39 lead with 11:44 remaining.
Wright, who set a career high with six 3s in Cincinnati's 92-60 win over Maryland-Eastern Shore on Dec. 8, had four against Marshall.
''He's a rhythm guy,'' Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said. ''Once he got his first shot to go down that can change a lot of things for him. I'd like to see him start the game the way he started the second half. He's a great shooter for a point guard.''
Scarver made a foul shot and hit a 3-pointer after missing the second free throw to give Marshall a brief spark, but Kilpatrick put the Bearcats ahead by double digits for good with a 3-pointer with 7:55 left.
Kilpatrick scored nine points over the final eight minutes to avoid his first game in single digits.
''I might be the main scorer,'' he said. ''But we have tons of talent on this team and that's something that will help us down the stretch.''
Cronin had plenty to say about Saturday's announcement that the seven Big East schools that don't play FBS football leaving the conference.
''I don't blame them,'' he said. ''My take is it's a shame that football, one sport, has dictated all this. The money that one sport is swinging around is swaying universities to make decisions. Don't tell me that people care about student-athletes.
''It's all ridiculous. Let's call it what it is. I've thought about this long and hard and I've waited to say this. If it's all about money and money grabbing, the players need to get paid.''
Last year, Marshall overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half and beat the Bearcats 73-69 in overtime in Cincinnati. DeAndre Kane made some key 3-pointers down the stretch in that game, but Marshall's leading scorer wasn't available on Saturday. He's out indefinitely with a right hand injury.
Marshall committed 20 turnovers, made just 14 of 27 free throws and was outmuscled in the paint where it was outscored 40-16. The Thundering Herd shot 39.5 percent (17 of 43) from the floor.
''Their pressure didn't allow us to get into any flow,'' Marshall coach Tom Herrion said.
An early screaming from Cronin was all Cincinnati needed to turn around a slow start.
During a timeout, Cronin cussed and finger pointed in the huddle at his starting lineup, especially Kilpatrick, after Marshall hit three open 3-pointers, including two by Scarver.
''We were so much in a scramble for the most part that Scarver was just getting opens 3s,'' Kilpatrick said. ''That's something he's great at. We didn't find him in certain situations, but when we did, we tried to rush him off the 3-point line.''
Cincinnati responded with three baskets in a minute and never lost the lead again.
The Bearcats return home for their next three games, including a matchup Wednesday with cross-town rival Xavier. Last year's loss at Xavier is remembered for a brawl that resulted in four players from each team getting suspensions.
''The past is the past,'' Kilpatrick said. ''It will be a great game.''
Added Wright: ''This game is what we make it. We not looking at this game like it's a rivalry. We're looking at it like it's a game in the way of our national championship where we're trying to go.''

Haze (PlayStation 3)
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. 3.1
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Not an American user?
Haze is a first-person shooter centered around Shane Carpenter, a young soldier in Mantel's army. Mantel controls the world's largest and most powerful PMC, supplying all of his soldiers with a drug known as Nectar, boosting their combat abilities. After sending out Carpenter and his squad to the Boa Region of South America, in order to neutralize The Promise Hand, a group of rebels inhabiting the region, he soon finds out his mission is not what it appears to be. After an unexpected twist of events, Carpenter finds himself on the rebel's side, fighting against his former comrades.The two factions fight differently: as a Mantel soldier the player has the option of using Nectar, thus making targeting and aiming more precise and powering the player's melee attacks. After realizing that the Mantel army's goal of achieving peace is only a lie fed to the brainwashed soldiers, the player has different fighting abilities among the rebels, like playing dead, laying grenade traps and being able to cause Nectar overdoses on Mantel troops. These overdoses make the soldiers berserk, disorientate them and make them unable to distinguish friend from foe.
The single-player campaign also features a cooperative option to play along with three friends. The multi-player features deathmatch, team deathmatch and an objective based assault mode.

Knighthawks Rookie Powless Impresses at Hawaii Invitational
from press release
He is "as advertised and better." Those were the words Rochester Knighthawk Jarrett Davis used to describe the play of 18-year-old rookie Johnny Powless at the Hawaii Invitational Lacrosse Tournament.
"I can't wait to play with him," said Davis about teaming up with his fellow forward during the 2012 National Lacrosse League season.
Powless was drafted with the fifth pick overall in this September's NLL Entry Draft, who was acquired from Calgary in a draft day trade that sent Shawn Evans and a first rounder in the 2012 draft to the Roughnecks. Some saw the trade as a hefty price to pay for the youngster, but the latest reports have the kid creating fans every time he steps on the field.
Powless has made headlines with his incredible two-year run in junior lacrosse, amassing 111 goals and 69 assists for 180 points in just 43 games. This summer, he won the Gaylord Powless Award as the Junior "A" Most Sportsmanlike Player. Powless led junior lacrosse in scoring with 65 goals and was fourth with 102 points. Last year, the forward from Six Nations won the Joe Nieuwendyk Award as the 2010 Junior "A" Rookie of the Year.
"It feels pretty good," said Powless on draft day. "I am excited to play with the Knighthawks."
That day will come soon enough with Training Camp starting on November 19th and the preseason schedule beginning on Sunday, December 11th against Philadelphia. He will make his home debut on Saturday, December 17th in a home preseason contest against the Minnesota Swarm. Cody Jamieson gave fans a preview of what to expect.
"He is an exciting young player that is not afraid to score goals," said Jamieson, a 2011 All-Rookie team selection. "He can really put the ball in the net. He will be good for a very long time."
Those in Hawaii last week got their first glimpses of the young goal scorer from Six Nations. In his Hawaii Tournament debut, he scored five goals and added two assists for The Dirty Lacrosse Club in a "friendly" against the Samurai from Group A. He left his teammates talking after his tournament debut.
"They said this kid is for real," said Dirty Lax President and Knighthawks Scout Jason Donville. "He is so effortless and he is six or seven years younger than everyone else."
In the Finals, Powless scored one of the four goals for Dirty Lax as they dropped a hard-fought 5-4 decision to the defending champion Wimmer Solutions. The game was a measuring stick for the rookie, as he went up against lacrosse stars like Gary Gait, John Galloway, Brett Queener, Max Seibald, Mike Evans, Kyle Hartzell, Anthony Kelly and Garrett Billings.
"It was a good experience for me to play against pro players," said Powless.
Powless also had the opportunity to play on a team that included young guns from the NLL and Major League Lacrosse. The Dirty Lacrosse Club featured No. 1 pick Kevin Crowley, Curtis Dickson, Kyle Rubisch, Jeremy Thompson, and Knighthawks Stephen Keogh and Davis.
"It was awesome to be surrounded by such talent. It was easy to play with these guys," said Powless. "It was good to play with (Davis and Keogh) and get to know each other."
The Knighthawks teammates bonded over trips to places like the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head Mountain. Boogie boarding and surfing excursions also filled his schedule during his week in Honolulu.
His next lacrosse heavy schedule with his new teammates will take him into January and the start of his first professional season. The Knighthawks will open the season at Philadelphia against the Wings on Saturday, January 14th before returning home for an encounter with the Buffalo Bandits on Saturday, January 21st. Powless cannot wait to get the season underway.
"I am very excited," said Powless. "I am counting down the days on the calendar."

This paper presents a heuristic model of student leaning as a means to understanding the scope of factors to be considered in making predictions about student learning. It is underpinned by a review of a wide body of literature. The model is drawn from Price and Richardson's 4P model (2004) that considered factors in improving student learning and argues that the same issues apply to predicting student learning outcomes. It builds upon existing research into learning and teaching. It is an articulation and an extension of Dunkin and Biddle's (1974) model, the Biggs (1985) original Presage-Process-Product model and research by Prosser and Trigwell (1999). The model has four main groups of factors: presage, perceptions, process and product. The presage group contains personological and situational factors such as context. Perceptions include how students conceive learning, how teachers conceive teaching, and the context. The process group of factors incorporates approaches to learning in students and teachers approaches to teaching. The model is presented as a basis for engaging in future research in a holistic manner that may bear further fruit in predicting student learning.

0Totally Awesome Bus Stop Service! (VIDEO)
March 1st, 2013 by Zachary Shahan
Don't pass this one up. This video below captures life at the coolest bus stop in the world (or one of the coolest). Enjoy, share with friends, and hey, consider pulling such stunts at a bus stop in your city!
TreeHugger's Michael Graham Richard and a reader over there, Elijah J. had some useful thoughts upon watching this video.
Elijah wrote: "It's pretty incredible advertising but it got me thinking: why in the world don't we have this kind of fun promotion for public transit?"
And Michael added on: "Indeed, if advertising didn't work, car makers wouldn't be spending billions on it. They might not know exactly what works (there's the old cliché that in ads, you are wasting half your money, but you don't know which half), but it certainly gets people interested. So how is public transportation supposed to compete and grow if very few resources are invested in reaching potential 'customers'?"
I don't know where things stand today, but last I heard, the industry spending the most money on advertising was the automobile industry. Certainly, there are much cheaper, healthier, and many would argue more fun and interesting ways to get around. (See: Save $10,000/Year Riding Transit and 10 Benefits of Bicycling and The Most Underrated Reason You Should Bike (+14 Biking Videos), for example.) But the fact of the matter is: advertising sells. And while there are actually more logical options for transportation, we've been sold the need for cars more than might be good for us (well, according to health science, far more than is good for us).
We could see huge financial and economic savings, time savings, and quality of life improvements if we balanced out our transportation choices a bit more.

Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL ) latest earnings release has now hit the wire, and investors aren't happy. Shares fell more than $40 in after hours trading as iPhone unit sales came in shy of expectations. Apple sold 51 million iPhones during the holiday quarter, while investors were hoping for at least 55 million. On the bright side, iPad units came in fairly strong at 26 million.
On top of that, guidance for the current quarter calls for revenue in the range of $42 billion to $44 billion, also shy of market expectations. Total revenue came in at $57.6 billion, with earnings per share of $14.50. Both the top and bottom figures were able to beat estimates, but that wasn't enough to overcome the shortfall in iPhone unit sales. iPhone average selling prices put up a nice gain sequentially, which lends to the hypothesis that the iPhone 5c is pushing demand toward the iPhone 5s. Even if the product mix is shifting favorably, overall unit sales are still short of what investors were expecting.
In the following video, Evan Niu discusses Apple's latest earnings with Fool contributor Ashraf Eassa.

One plant that easily qualifies as kid-friendly is the carrot.
Ownership doesn't get any more tangible to a child than having their plants reside in containers of their own. As long as they are properly watered, carrots are actually easier to grow in containers than they are the ground. And pulling something sweet and crunchy from beneath the dirt after weeks of watching the tops grow leaps and bounds, that's 2-for-1 in the reward department.
When growing carrots in containers, starting with containers filled with new, good-quality potting soil provides several benefits. The soil will be loose allowing the carrots to grow easier. While the soil should be free of weed seeds, if a stray seed happens to ride the wind to the container, the loose soil makes weeding much easier for children. You will be starting with clean soil free of diseases or the larvae of pests. Your soil will be free of rocks and other debris that obstruct the path of a growing carrot causing it to grow crooked.
You can use any large (at least 12 inches deep) container of your choice in which to grow carrots. If it is not a container designed specifically for growing plants, a bucket or a washtub for instance, you will need to drill drainage holes in the bottom.
When we made our carrot planting plans this year, I took my son to purchase a new pot. Again, it reinforces ownership. He chose this bright, fun yellow pot that only cost us around $8.
After filling the pot with soil, before sowing the seeds, give the soil a good watering. Since carrot seeds are very small and light and sown only about 1/4 inch deep, it is very easy to float them away when you water them if they have been sown in dry soil. Assuring the soil is thoroughly wet will also help with germination.
Carrot seeds are so small it can be difficult and frustrating for children to try and sow them the recommended 1 inch apart. You can mix the seeds with sand or sugar and have them sprinkle the mixture over the soil with a spoon. For children who have a need to be very precise, the seeds can be planted individually by wetting the tip of a pencil, collecting a seed on the tip, and placing it in the desired location in the soil.
Have the child complete the planting by sprinkling a thin layer of additional potting soil over the seeds and gently watering them using a watering can with a fine-mist rose such as the
Fiskars Easy-Pour Watering Can. Teaching them to get the water spraying through the rose before moving it over the container will help prevent dumping water and displacing the seeds and, later, the small seedlings. While on the topic of watering, throughout the growing cycle of carrots, the soil should be kept evenly moist down to the depth of the tip of the carrots, but not too wet. Too much water will cause the carrots to split. If the containers are filled with good soil, this should not be a problem.
When the carrots reach a height of about 1 inch, they need to be thinned. This is best done by snipping them off with scissors at the soil level leaving the remaining carrots about 1/2 inch apart.
About 10 days after the seedlings emerge, you can lightly fertilize the carrots if desired. Be sure to use a low-nitrogen fertilizer to prevent the carrots from growing excess foliage or "hairy" roots. I like to use Garden Tone organic fertilizer. It is made from ingredients like dehydrated manure, feather meal, and bone meal, so I feel comfortable having my kids handle it. Be sure to water the fertilizer in.
When the carrots tops are about 6 inches tall, the carrots should be thinned again to about 2 inches apart. Kids love to see evidence that something is really going on below the level of the soil. And they can eat the thinnings!
Carrots are typically mature and ready for harvest at around 70 days. Gauge the readiness for harvest by examining the width of the tops of the carrots. If they are not poking through the surface, brush away a little soil until the top is visible. Cut the tops off of harvested carrots as soon as possible to prevent the foliage from continuing to draw moisture from the root.
Helping a child get their carrots going early in the growing season will give them time to continue new plantings until about 3 months prior to the end of the season for your area. That can add up to a lot of reward for their diligence.

Sprayberry is playing the teenaged Clark Kent in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman adaptation Man of Steel, and he has revealed how the film might end up bearing similarities to The Dark Knight.
We were expecting a slightly more Dark Knight-esque take on Superman when we found out that Christopher Nolan had been taken on as a producer, and according to Sprayberry, Superman's hardships will begin at a very early age, much like a certain billionaire bat that we know.
Thanks to ClevverTV (via CBM) for the interview!
Question: Can you tell us a little about Man of Steel and your upcoming projects?
Sprayberry: I just finished shooting Man of Steel. That was in Canada and Chicago. I filmed that all last year. After that I did "Common Law." That's going to be on USA coming up pretty soon. I played the son of Sonya Walger. That was really cool.
Question: What will people really love about Man of Steel?
Sprayberry: When Zack [Snyder] and I were talking about it the first time, he was saying how Superman, they want to give it a more edgy feel like The Dark Knight but also make it more realistic and emotional so it's not just the all-american superhero that saves everyone. He has dilemmas and love and struggles throughout the whole movie, especially when he's a kid.
Very interesting stuff! We didn't realize how much of the film would take place during Clark Kent's teenage years!

People v. Nelson: A Tale of Two StatisticsDavid H. KayeThe Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law July 4, 2008 Law, Probability, and Risk, Vol. 7, No. 3, September 2008 Abstract: In recent years, defendants who were identified as a result of a search through a database of DNA profiles have argued that the probability that a randomly selected person would match a crime-scene stain overstates the probative value of the match. The statistical literature is divided, with most statisticians who have written on the subject rejecting this claim. In People v. Nelson, the Supreme Court of California held that when the random-match probability is so small as to make it exceedingly unlikely that any unrelated individual has the incriminating DNA profile, this statistic is admissible in a database-search case. In dicta, the court suggested that the defendant might be permitted to introduce an inflated match probability to counter the prosecution's statistic. This Comment describes the statistical issue, questions some of the reasoning in Nelson, and suggests other approaches that a defendant might take in response to a cold hit in the database.

text: Lasagne is one of those dishes that whilst delicious in its own right, is often adjusted to suit individual tastes. For example, I like to add sautéed mushrooms and / or spinach for some additional flavour. Seafood or simple salmon lasagne is also very tasty. When I have a little more time on my hands, I like to make lasagne with fresh pasta. For details, see Triangoli recipe.

JEFFERSON CITY — A state tax break meant to ease the property tax burden for senior citizens and the disabled on fixed incomes is predominantly benefiting people who don't own — much less owe taxes on — their homes.
Yet the tax break has been touted at the Capitol as part of the solution to homeowner complaints about escalating tax bills.
Missouri law describes the income tax credit, first enacted in 1973, as "a property tax credit." Yet the law allows the tax break not only for those who pay taxes on their homes, but also for renters.
And rent covers not only payments for houses and apartments, but also for nursing home rooms and even some extended-stay hotel rooms.
According to the Department of Revenue, 55 percent of the 184,366 people who received the so-called circuit breaker "property tax credit" rented their residences in 2006, the latest year for which statistics are available. Sixty-one percent of the $85 million paid out went to renters.
Various legislative proposals this year would increase the size of the maximum tax credit and expand the number of people eligible for it.
But Rep. Chuck Portwood contends that lawmakers would be fooling themselves — and the public — if they raise the property tax break under the belief it would answer the cries for help from elderly homeowners.
That's because less than 40 cents of every $1 distributed through the tax break goes to homeowners.
"I've not had one renter, one person that lives in a nursing home, or one person that lives in an apartment call me and say, 'Representative Portwood, this property tax is just killing me.' I've not had one," said Portwood, R-Ballwin. "I've had thousands and thousands of people that are at the other end of the spectrum that live in their homes that are actually paying the property tax."
The problem with increasing that tax break is "it does not address the needs of the people who are actually asking for the relief. It doesn't help the homeowner," said Portwood, who led a failed initiative petition effort in 2002 to limit the growth of property taxes.
Senators voted to expand the tax break as part of a multi-pronged property tax measure given initial approval Thursday. But they did so in a way that could help homeowners a little more than renters.
The legislation increases the maximum tax credit from $750 to $1,100 for both homeowners and renters. But it expands the number of homeowners who could be eligible.
Current law sets the income cutoff for people to qualify for the tax credit at $27,500 annually for individuals and $29,500 for married couples. The Senate bill raises that to $30,000 annually for individual homeowners and $40,000 for married homeowners.
Senate President Pro Tem Michael Gibbons counts the increased tax credit as an important, but not the most essential, part of his legislation.
The biggest change, Gibbons said, is to mandate that local taxing districts lower their tax rates to compensate for increased property values following assessments. As it is, some governments are avoiding a tax-rate rollback and reaping a windfall by raising the assessed value of real estate, he said.
Gibbons said the various taxing districts in St. Louis County collected a windfall of $46 million after last year's property re-assessments.
"So the rollback is really a critical feature of that bill — that's what protects seniors and everybody," said Gibbons, R-Kirkwood.
Many of this year's property tax proposals have come from lawmakers in the St. Louis area. From 2006 to 2007, St. Louis County had a 15 percent increase in assessed valuations, excluding new construction and improvements. That was the second highest in the state behind only a 33 percent increase in Phelps County, according to a report by State Auditor Susan Montee.
Missouri has more than 2,700 entities that levy property taxes. Those include school districts, cities and counties, fire and ambulance districts, libraries, community colleges, public hospitals and nursing homes, road districts, and soil and water conservation districts.
To ensure they all abide by a requirement to roll back tax rates when their assessed property values rise, Portwood believes it's necessary to amend the Missouri Constitution. A House committee on Thursday endorsed his proposal to do that.
Portwood couldn't succeed in getting enough citizen petition signatures for a more restrictive property tax proposal six years ago. Since then, he believes homeowners have only grown more frustrated about their taxes, despite several legislative attempts to help.
"It was a problem (six) years ago, now it's a problem times 100," Portwood said.

For the first 27 minutes, Game 2 of the Indiana game against Orlando looked like Game 1 — the Pacers raced out to an early lead but then their offense went cold while the Magic got some inspired play and had the lead.
Then the Magic went on a 25-5 run in to close out the third quarter, pulled away and never looked back, getting a comfortable 93-78 win. A win that looked a lot more what Pacers fans expected this series to look like. Now the 1-1 series shifts to Orlando for Game 3 and we'll see how a young Pacers team adjusts to playoff life of the road.
On paper the Pacers were their balanced selves again on offense — David West, Danny Granger and George Hill all had 18 points while Paul George had 17.
But during the run in the third it was George and West that seemed to be the spark. West was the Pacers' best player on the night, not just the 18 points but he was physical all game long and hard for the Magic to handle.
What Indiana did well was play to their strengths in this series — they controlled the paint (they grabbed 34 percent of their missed shots with offensive rebounds and second chance points were key during the run) and the Pacers got out and got points in transition. The Magic need to grind it out to win this series and the Pacers pulled away when they got some easy buckets in transition.
The Magic were supposed to be dead in this series because they are without Dwight Howard the Pacers would own them inside. But in the first half Glen Davis and Ryan Anderson outplaying Roy Hibbert and West. Davis finished with 18 points. At one point in the second quarter Vogel pulled Hibbert to go smaller rather than punish the smaller Magic because it wasn't working.
Orlando also did a good job in the first half running pick and roll, they broke down Indy's defense then kicked out for three. It worked. They were getting the looks.
But in the second half the Pacers played better defense. Add to that Davis looked winded and wasn't getting the same look and the Pacers got stops. Which they converted into those fast break points they needed.
Still, this is proving not to be an easy series for the Pacers. Orlando is playing with real grit and energy, showing that they are just Howard's sidekicks. Jameer Nelson is setting guys up, players such as J.J. Redick (13 points) are stepping up.
Indiana showed for a stretch why we thought they would run away with this series. But they are going to have to show growth to be able to do it for longer and on the road if they want to start to fulfill that promise.

The most interesting part of this story is that Orlando sans Howard has even won one game and made this one interesting.
- 11jlacy - May 1, 2012 at 1:09 AM
The pacers a deep team could really cause problems in the east!!!

Then the Magic went on a 25-5 run in to close out the third quarter, pulled away and never looked back, getting a comfortable 93-78 win
I didn't watch this game but by after reading this article I though the Magic won. Went to NBA.COM and got the truth.
- gatorgar - May 1, 2012 at 9:46 AM
He was talking about the previous game… you needed to continue reading the article.
- xli2006 - May 1, 2012 at 9:10 AM
Congrats PBT for mentioning the Pacers for what seems like only the 3rd or 4th time all year.
- 28loose - May 1, 2012 at 10:42 AM
Then the Magic went on a 25-5 run in to close out the third quarter, pulled away and never looked back, getting a comfortable 93-78 win.
So what you are telling me is you can't even get the winner of the game right. It was the PACERS that went on a third quarter run, and the PACERS who won the game. Seriously, how did you get this job?
- frooshiantee - May 1, 2012 at 12:23 PM
I'm pretty sure they made a mistake. If they were talking about game 1 they would have said "getting a comfortable 81-77 win". Also the link wouldn't take you to a page that talks about Game 2. It's either very poorly written or a blatant typo.
- metalhead65 - May 1, 2012 at 12:25 PM
nice win by the pacers,just to bad they had to be on national tv when they chose to have their worse game of the year sat. pretty hard for them and their fans to play the no respect card when they put on that bad of a performance.

I just downloaded the My Memories Suite and am trying to edit the Birthday Banner Questionnaire from Leelou Blog and can't seem to insert it. Any suggestions?
Hey Wagner family, were you able to figure out how to insert the questionnaire? Let me know!

Just insert it like any jpeg picture Kelly. That should work!
Can you use any and all digital scrapbook files that you buy/download on the Internet? Or do u have to use My Memories files only?
Yes Colleen, you can use any digital scrapbook files. You don't have to just use My Memories designs.
Quick question: Can I use this software in conjunction with cute digital scrapbook papers like those offered by persnikety prints and use them all in a single project?? Thanks SO much for the recommendation!

No problem Tabitha. You can definitely use any digital scrapbook kits you come across!
Can I use my own jpg file or PDF file for the background? For example, I scan my favorite paper and want to use it as the background on a page. OR, I take a photo and want to use it as a background on a page. THANKS!!!!
Yes, you absolutely can Gina. You can also use any other papers or elements that you find anywhere else. You don't have to just use My Memories products

I am looking for a digital scrapbook program that will let me make my designs on the computer and then burn them to a dvd that I can watch on my tv. Do you know if that is possible with this program?

God Bless

I agree wholeheartedly with Fran Wood's April 20 column on the treatment of Hillary Clinton by the media. One of the worst offenders, as she points out, is Chris Matthews. Each program is a barrage of negative comments about Clinton, and he manages to choose anti-Clinton commentators at a 3-to-1 ratio for most panel discussions. It gives the appearance that he is almost in a blood feud with Clinton.
Wood has brought the sexism issue to the forefront for me, identifying areas where I had not recognized it as such. This continuous attack on voters' subconscious is obviously working, as Clinton's negatives appear to be rising. I find that even some of the women news anchors and reporters exhibit this sexism in their comments. When will Americans grow up?
