Hi Readers,
I'm very interested in getting a Tablet. Galaxy Tab 8.9 specifically. Although I've searched, I've yet to find definitive answers to the following::
a) Can one watch BBC iPlayer and ITV Player on tablets? b) All of these tablets, iPads included, have very little storage - I have a Seagate portable HDD - could I use this to transfer files from the Tablet?? I dare not purchase online, only to find none of the above are possible as the sellers would not refund.
Thanks in advance,
AngeTheHippy x

"I doubt that you can attach a portable HDD to the USB adapter because of power limitations."
That's true of all tablets - any peripheral devices need to be self-powered.

Hi F.E., yes - I'm beginning to understand the ins & outs of Tablets. SD cards are a way of obtaining portable storage, so I'll need to read the pecs of various models. Almost certain now it's gonna be a Samsung - 8.9 OR 10.1 - however, the 10.1 doesn't appear to have a USB - not good.
Sell me an iPad, F.E. Is it possible to view BBC iPlayer/ITV player on them? do they have SD card lots? I know very very little re. iPad (apart from being expensive!!) I'll need wifi but not necessarily 3G.

AngeTheHippy yes I am very happy with my Glaxy 10.1 and for me the size was one of the things that attracted me to it. I am of that age when eyesight and trembling fingers demand that icons should be of a reasonable size and spaced well apart so 10 inches was my choice for screen size. It's not so portable as a smaller model of course - you can't slip it into a jacket pocket for example - which is perhaps why the latest iPad is coming out with a smaller version. Reviews of the Samsung screen will show you that it is one of the best around (although some will say that the newest iPad is even better). Personally I use my tablet mainly for email, web browsing etc and not for videos so super high definition displays don't realy affect me.
My tablet can have both SD card and USB attachments and I also have a bluetooth keyboard that I use if I am typing long scripts. I did consider the iPad (well over 9 months ago now) but decided that the extra cost was not worth it. I don't have an iPhone an iMac or use iTunes so perhaps I am somewhat of a Luddite, but then my needs are small and Android has quite enough apps to keep me satisfied. I can use Firefox and Chrome and sync to my desktop, I can use Skype on the tablet and Google Earth and as for games I am happy with Solitaire, Mah-jong and Angry Birds. The fact that I can access my desktop via All Share is important to me and I would imagine that the iPad can do the same sort of thing (presumably it will interface with Windows 7, someone else can answer that one).
Good luck with your choice, I am sure that when you make your decision you will be delighted at the flexibility that a tablet provides.

BBC iPlayer and ITV Player are both available on the iPad and play well. So is another app TVCatchup which has all of the main channels in one app. I haven't missed 3G. I've got an ebook with a smaller screen but for e-mails and internet use (or TV) then I wouldn't want a smaller screen than that on the iPad.
The drawback with the iPad is that you have to buy accessories to connect to TV, attach a digital camera, etc. A good feature of the iPad is the ability to mirror its display on a TV. This is a really good way to view photos.
Connection with a PC is through iTunes although iCloud and wireless connection can be used. Dropbox is a very useful way of transferring documents, photos, etc (and that would be the same for Android).
iPad's browsers normally don't run Flash (you can obtain apps that do) so some videos are not available. I haven't found it to be a major drawback.

For more on potato chip innovation, look at these five animated GIFs.
We took a tour of Herr's potato chip factory in Pennsylvania to find out how making chips has changed (and gotten more efficient) since 1946.
A note: Ed Herr says workers whose jobs were replaced by machines (e.g., getting rid of green chips, hauling sacks of potatoes) were reassigned to other jobs, like driving trucks full of chips to stores.

I am hearing that DIRECTV will discontinue the Big Ten network come October 15th. A friend of mine called and asked and he was told by a rep that this is true.
Anyone else hear anything like this?
WHY would they do that in the middle of the college football season, the only reason anyone wants the channel to begin with?? If this is true, I'll be very unhappy.
This would be a PR disaster and a huge hit for their rep...
I wouldn't understand them dropping it, moving it to a premium tier would make sense but not dropping it completely.
Anyway I haven't seen anything mentioning this on the usual DirecTV forums and they always have info like that early.
On one hand, seeing the Big 11 fail at things warms my heart.
On the other hand, as a DirecTV customer, I'm certain that if they cancel the Big 11 Network, it'll be replaced by another useless shopping channel.
Bottom line is -- I don't know how to feel about this.
Something weird is going on here...someone from DIRECTV told my friend what I posted above, but I am seeing nothing about DIRECTV dropping the BTN at dbstalk.com.
I am starting to think I got faulty information. The funny thing is though, someone on another site posted the exact thing that I heard tonight. He even mentioned the same October 15 date. If you really think about it though it doesn't make much sense. DTV has realigned a ton of channels, including BTN. I mean, DTV (via its parent, FOX) owns a large part of the BTN. Why in the world would they drop it now?
I wouldn't trust DTV phone reps to tell me anything.
I am not a Big Ten fan, but it is pretty sweet to have extra football available on Saturdays thanks to the BTN.
I've actually grown a soft spot for Wisconsin last year because of it.
I can't see them cutting back like this, it just wouldn't make any business sense. I remember when they pretty much held fans hostage to get DirecTV in the 1st place because they were one of the only places you could see certain games. Going back now would be a suicide move for a business that solely depends on customer retention.
Directv, effectively, has partial ownership of the big10 network. I'd be surprised if they dropped it.
DirecTV's partial owner, News Corp., is the parent company of Fox Cable Networks, which owns a 49 percent stake in the Big Ten Network.
Actually News Corp no longer owns any part of DirecTV, Liberty Media bought them out earlier this year.
With the eve of college football upon us, are we sure that this isn't just Direct TV posturing for a bigger piece of the subscription revenue?
If I had to guess, this may be DTV trying to hardball BTN into re-negotiating a contract to either lower the price per subscriber or move it into a different tier of programing. TWC still hasn't signed up to the BTN because the BTN won't budge on wanting to be part of the basic package instead of an add on tier. Their asking price is way to high and DTV is probably having problems making it profitable. This could mean movement on the TWC front because DTV is a pretty huge market for BTN to lose. This may force them to move from their stance and get something done with TWC if indeed true.
I think you are getting false info here. Direct TV is putting on the full court press to sign up Time Warner customers because of the Big Ten Network fights. The ads are all over the radio here in Ohio.
Is it true that Dish Network moved BTN from Basic to Midlevel packages, for those outside of the Big Ten footprint? I heard that rumor from my brother in law last week.

Murder-suicide suspected in 4 California death
Tuesday - 12/31/2013, 11:18pm EST
Associated Press
FONTANA, Calif. (AP) -- A man apparently killed his wife and their two children before turning the gun on himself in a Southern California home, police said Tuesday.
Officers called to the home at about 8:30 p.m. Monday found the bodies of Ramon Miranda, 38, and Silvia Miranda, 34, and their children, 12-year-old Ramon Jr. and 10-year-old Rayna, according to the San Bernardino County coroner's office.
The woman and the children had been shot several times and the man was shot once in the head, police spokeswoman Martha Guzman-Hurtado said.
Investigators found a handgun.
"Everything that has been confirmed so far indicates it could be a murder-suicide, but that has not been confirmed," Guzman-Hurtado said. "They are questioning other people before making that conclusion."
However, investigators weren't looking for any suspects, she said.
Police said they were called by the 16-year-old son of Silvia Miranda who did not live at the home but went there after being unable to reach his mother all day. When he saw what happened, he called police.
Jonathan Garcia, 22, who lives across the street, said he was watching television at about 8:30 p.m. when he heard yelling.
"I hear, 'Get down, get down!' I recognize that as a cop's voice," he said.
Garcia looked through the window and saw police in SWAT gear with submachine guns.
"So I come outside. They're all rushing at the house. There's a younger kid, probably 16 years old. He's screaming and yelling ... he's saying, 'That's my mom! That's my mom!"
Garcia said a woman outside was crying and kept screaming in Spanish, 'They're all dead, they're all dead. He killed them all!"
Garcia said the family had lived in the home about three years.
The bodies were spread throughout the house, Guzman-Hurtado said.
Guzman-Hurtado said records show the last time police visited the home was in June 2010 for an unspecified code-enforcement matter.
"It's a sad day in Fontana," Guzman-Hurtado said. "This is one of those days where we're all supposed to be celebrating with family, making new memories with family as we say goodbye to 2013 and welcome the New Year. It's not a day to be mourning lives lost."
Fontana is a city of about 200,000 people in San Bernardino County about 50 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

The Supreme Court's direction on Tuesday to the Centre and the States to enact legislation to make the registration of marriages compulsory irrespective of religion is a breakthrough. It will aid the dismantling of the unhealthy social edifices of child marriage and the exploitation of married women. The Court has ordered the governments to amend the relevant rules and procedures within three months to effect this. Compulsory registration will have far-reaching benefits. Child marriage, which continues to be practised in many communities (although prohibited by a 1929 Act), will be drastically curtailed, ensuring the girl child the right to a free and wholesome childhood. Parents will no longer be able to sell their girl children into marriage for economic reasons or because of social compulsions. This is evidenced by the fact that in Sri Lanka, after registration was made compulsory, there was a dramatic decrease in child marriages. Cases of desertion and polygamy are likely to be fewer as there will be documentary proof of marriage. A marriage certificate can be used in court by women in vulnerable situations to assert their rights as spouses.
Since the Special Marriage Act came into force in 1954 for civil marriages, there have been moves to push for legislation to document all marriages. But these have fallen by the wayside as the majority of marriages are solemnised by religious rites and fall within the domain of different personal laws. Meanwhile, the absence of such a law has caused tremendous hardship to women of all communities as the core principles of gender equality and non-discrimination are often nullified by retrograde social practices. Only a few States have taken the initiative to make registration compulsory. The reform, which has been spearheaded by the National Commission for Women, will have a nationwide impact as proof of marriage will now be available. If the purposes of the proposed law are to be served fully, it must have the following attributes. The process of registration must be made simple. Cost, access, and effective communication will be the keys to success in urban as well as rural India. The costs of registration should be nominal. Easy, hassle-free access will be facilitated if, in towns and clusters of villages, post offices in addition to sub-registrar's offices and, in villages, village administrative officers or gram pramukhs are entrusted with the job of registration. As in the case of compulsory registration of births and deaths, there must be a vigorous campaign to communicate the new rules of the game to all households, above all to women. It needs to be emphasised that, under extenuating circumstances, unregistered marriages should not stand invalidated. The government has to be responsive to the difficulties of women that may arise from non-registration. Although many specifics are yet to be settled, it is clear the Supreme Court has struck a progressive blow for gender equality in India.

A bouffant cap may resemble a plastic bag surrounded by elastic lining, but it is actually a hat used to cover the head so that stray hair doesn't fall out and water and other things don't get in. Because the elastic sits snugly at the hairline, they were originally used to shield and maintain elaborate hair-dos during showers and sleep. Today, they are also used in hospitals and during food preparation for hygienic purposes.
With the name inspired by the bouffant and pouf hairstyles of Marie Antoinette and Bridget Bardot, bouffant caps have existed for just as long. At the beginning, they were tailor-made out of soft materials to fit the wearer. Today, they are churned out in netting, plastic, and polypropylene versions, making them a cheap and disposable accessory used in many settings.
Hair care is one of them, where these caps are used to protect one's mane. Thin and fragile hair can avoid tangles by wrapping them in a silk-lined cap before sleep. Unique hairstyles crafted by bottles of hairspray and numerous pins can see their life extended by wrapping this protective shield around it during dressing and make-up.
Because bouffant caps prevent the fumes and chemicals from coloring and perm treatments from escaping, they can protect clothes and furniture from the aftereffects of a hair treatment. This little piece of fabric can thwart accidental drips that would otherwise blemish other materials and keep toxins from permeating the air.
Plastic versions can also be employed with heat-activated hair masks. The hair mask is put on first, with the cap subsequently going over it. There are then three methods to select from. The first is to wrap one's head with a warm towel, while the second is to stand under warm water in a shower. The third technique involves using a hair dryer to heat up the hair, with the cap allowing the warm air to seep in. That way, the hair mask remains intact and is not washed away or dried up.
Other professions also employ variations of this useful bouffant cap. The surgical version is a staple for doctors, preventing stray hairs from infecting an otherwise sterile environment. Food preparers don the hair net version for the same hygienic purposes.

FC Dallas captain Daniel Hernandez says he is not worried by his teams apparent lack of size ahead of this weekend's Western Conference final against the LA Galaxy.
In comparison to their opponents, Dallas are quite undersized and actually fall to the bottom of both average height and weight lists for the entire MLS but that doesn't stop them packing a mean punch according to Hernandez.
"We're one of the best teams whether it's featherweights or heavyweights," he said. "It doesn't matter. I think we're one of the better teams in the league and we can match up to anybody."
And as for this weekend's meeting with the much taller Galaxy, Hernandez had a plan in place.
"Obviously LA has great size on their side. But we have short guys who can jump really high," he quipped.

Retiring Indiana chief justice celebrated at ceremony
Tributes pour in from across nation
INDIANAPOLIS - Evansville native Randall Shepard said a final round of public goodbyes Monday at an event marking the end of his 25-year tenure as the state's chief justice and his last week on the Indiana Supreme Court.
"To have so many people who have been such good friends and comrades all in one room at the same time fills me with appreciation for a life so fortunately lived," Shepard said.
The hourlong ceremony was attended by a long list of Indiana's leading legal figures, including the deans of the state's four law schools, federal judges and U.S. attorneys. Also there were all of the current and many former statewide officeholders and Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.
Though they were not there, members of the U.S. Supreme Court sent notes that were read during the ceremony. Well-wishes came from Justice Clarence Thomas.
"Your tenure has been simply remarkable," wrote Justice Elena Kagan.
Even they don't necessarily stack up to Shepard, though, Gov. Mitch Daniels said.
"There are people on the highest court of this land who are not his equal," he said.
The governor said Hoosiers have taken for granted Shepard's era on the Supreme Court, which started in 1985, and his time as chief justice, which started in 1987.
Davis choked back tears as he said he was "lucky" to count Shepard as a personal friend.
Daniels recalled Shepard's political career, which included a bid for mayor of Evansville and a run for the Indiana House of Representatives, both as a Republican, before he became a judge in Vanderburgh County.
"It seems an eternity that Randy Shepard has been serving all of us," Daniels said. "I can't help think how lucky we all are that you went and lost an election."
Julie McDonald, an education attorney at the Indiana Judicial Center, represented Shepard's 50 former law clerks. She told a story of a homeless man who visited every day, and who Shepard treated with respect.
"The judge's integrity, kindness and character set the bar for us in our careers and in our personal lives. He did not merely show us what to do; he showed us who to be," she said.
Robyn Moberly, a Marion County judge and president of the Indiana Judges Association, said Shepard will be remembered for leading the modernization of courts.
Todd Glass, president of the Evansville Bar Association, said whatever Shepard does next, "we're hoping and trusting that it will herald you to visit your childhood home."
He cited the Randall T. Shepard Academy for Law and Social Justice, a program run by the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. The program has dozens of students spending half their days learning about the law and pairing off with mentors.
Shepard still speaks with that group of students regularly, and two made the trip to Indianapolis for the ceremony Monday.
"Our chief justice never really left his hometown. He's remained engaged and committed to the Evansville community," Glass said. "We're anxious to see you back."
Bill Robinson, president of the American Bar Association, said Shepard "has made excellence his habit."
"His work ethic is legendary, and there are few judges who can emulate his contributions to the law. He has earned the respect of his colleagues all across this country," Robinson said.
A judicial nominating commission has selected three candidates to replace Shepard on the state's high court. Daniels said Monday that he intends to appoint Shepard's replacement "soon" — perhaps as early as this week.
The finalists are Mark Massa, a former Evansville Press reporter who worked as Daniels' general counsel, as well as Indiana Court of Appeals Judge Cale Bradford and Jane Seigel, head of the Indiana Judicial Center.
Once Shepard is replaced, the same panel will go to work selecting one of the five members for a five-year term as chief justice.
As for Shepard, he made several announcements about his future, saying he will work in academia as a visiting scholar at the University of Cincinnati College of Law and as a guest editor of the Indiana Magazine of History at Indiana University.

Re: BOLT head in the Bilge...
It is something you need to fix, sooner rather than later. Each time you start the motor it is going to flex that mount, and with only one bolt holding it if it breaks the whole motor will be useless, plus if it shifts because it broke you could bend or break other parts. If you are lucky you might be able to use a screw extractor to get it out. Put a lot of penetrating oil on it first and let it work. then drill a small hole for the extractor too bite into. It should just back out. If that doesn't work then you will need to drill out the bolt and re tap the hole.

Fragrance Ingredients Evaluated by RIFM Group Approach Shown to be Safe
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., June 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — RIFM's latest group summary, A Safety Assessment of Saturated Branched Chain Alcohols when used as Fragrance Ingredients, published in Food and Chemical Toxicology, Vol. 48, Supplement 4, July 2010 is now available from the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials, Inc. (RIFM) web site at http://www.rifm.org/publications-details.php?id=25. Paper copies are available by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101215/DC17717LOGO)
The group summary on Saturated Branched Chain Alcohols and its related Fragrance Material Reviews (FMRs) consists of 20 materials: 12 primary, 5 secondary and 3 tertiary alcohols. These alcohols share common structural elements and are used in decorative cosmetics, fine fragrances, shampoos, and toilet soaps as well in non-cosmetic products such as household cleaners and detergents. The Expert Panel is of the opinion that there are no safety concerns regarding these fragrance ingredients under the current declared levels of use.
The group assessment approach based on structural relationship, enabling consistency in predicting metabolism and toxicity, conserves resources by reducing duplicate testing. The group summary publications and related FMRs provide the scientific and regulatory communities with all the toxicological data available to RIFM on these fragrance ingredients. This includes RIFM sponsored studies, company sponsored studies and data that appear in the peer-reviewed literature. They provide the Expert Panel's safety assessment of these groups and support the structure of RIFM's safety assurance program. They are also used by industry to meet REACH requirements. Dr. Anne Marie Api, RIFM Vice President, Human Health Science, said, "The Group Summary approach is part of our proactive program. We now have 10 group summaries and more than 200 FMRs published." There are plans to publish group summaries on Macrocyclic Ketones, Macrocyclic Lactones and Lactides, Aryl Alkyl Alcohols and Aryl Alkyl Alcohol Simple Acid Esters.
RIFM is the international scientific authority for the safe use of fragrance materials. RIFM generates, evaluates and distributes scientific data on the safety assessment of fragrance raw materials found in personal and household care products.

Alzheimer's researchers to cycle through Abilene
Beginning on July 17, Alzheimer's disease researchers participating in the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Ride started to cycle cross-country in segments, starting in San Francisco and ending in Washington, D.C. On Aug. 13, riders will cycle through Abilene as they pedal toward their goal to collect 50,000 signatures for a petition urging lawmakers to make Alzheimer's disease a national priority. Riders will present the signatures to Congress on World Alzheimer's Day (Sept. 21).
As Americans continue to live longer, Alzheimer's is quickly becoming the public health crisis of the 21st century. Today, an estimated 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's and as many 16 million will have it by 2050. This year, the total annual costs of care for people with Alzheimer's will be $172 billion, and this will rise to more than $1 trillion by midcentury, with Medicare costs soaring more than 600 percent and Medicaid costs increasing 400 percent. In Texas there are approximately 340,000 people living with Alzheimer's disease. As the numbers suggest, Texas and the nation simply cannot afford an Alzheimer's epidemic. The researchers cycling in the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Ride have made stopping Alzheimer's disease their life's work, but they can't do it alone.
"Following the recommendations of former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, it is time to establish a national strategy to deal with the devastation of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders," said Dr. Samuel Brinkman, local neuropsychologist.
The Alzheimer's Breakthrough Ride was originally conceived by Alzheimer's disease researcher Bruce Lamb. During a casual bike ride last summer, Dr. Lamb pondered the difficulties in getting adequate federal funding for Alzheimer's research and became convinced that researchers needed to do even more to fight the disease. He shared the idea of a cross-country bike ride to build support for Alzheimer's with the Alzheimer's Association, and now researchers across the country are heading out on the open road. More than 55 riders will travel approximately 4,500 miles through 14 states and 65 congressional districts.
As the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Riders cycle from the West Coast to Capitol Hill, Americans are invited to get involved by signing the online petition to make Alzheimer's disease a national priority or coming out to one of 18 signing events along the route. To find an event in your area, follow the riders and sign the online petition, visit www.alz.org/breakthroughride.
Libby Connally is regional director of the Alzheimer's Association-North Central Texas Chapter.

Brian Urlacher might not be leaving the NFC North, after all. A source tells Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times that the former Bears linebacker has been in contact with the Broncos and Vikings, and is leaning toward signing with the latter. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs getting close to happening, but Brian is leaning toward heading to Minnesota and is talking a one to two year contract,ŌĆØ a source close to Urlacher told Sneed. It's worth noting that Sneed has no history of breaking NFL news, so take this speculation with a grain of salt. However, the match makes a ton of sense on paper. The Vikes have a huge need in their linebacking corps -- much more so than the Broncos -- and have been poking around the 35-year-old since March. Minnesota also didn't draft any linebackers, a sign their interest in Urlacher could indeed be serious.

Tinie Tempah is said to have given his rumoured girlfriend Jessie J advice on how to improve her performance on The Voice.
The 'Price Tag' singer has impressed viewers of the new BBC One talent show, with her coaching skills since the new series premiered last week. Sources say that Jessie was so nervous when she first started on the auditions for the show, that she called on rumoured new beau Tinie for advice.
"I thinks she had a shaky first couple of days when she recorded the auditions last month," a source told Look magazine.
"So he talked her through a few pointers to get her on-screen performance up to scratch. Then he invited her over to his place to hang out and that's clearly when the sparks between them started to fly!"

The President who lied about going into and getting out of Iraq, got destroyed in all 3 presidential debates (where he answered about 1/10 of the questions he was asked and skirted around the rest), who wants to take away your constitutional rights by arresting you for unconfirmed suspicions, and who is going to re-institute the draft (which means that the majority of this site will probably go to Iraq).
And most of you still voted for him.

Proof that voting in America can be rigged. Instigated the 9/11 attacks with his illogical foreign policies, and made the world hate America even more by starting an illegal oil war in Iraq. He has also succeeded in turning America from a once prosperous nation into a debt-ridden chaos.
Way to go, Dubya.

He's our current president. I am a very Christian person and I hate the man. Yes, he's Christian but he doesn't seem to get separation of church and state. And I don't get how you could say abortions are a sensless waste of life yet send innocent people off to war and blow up people in an underdeveloped country for shady reasons. And I'm sick of the conservatives calling themselves 'normal people' and 'patriots'. I have a normal, boring life and I love my country, but I could never love GWB.
ignorance plain and simple.

If you're thinking of the laminate flooring, like Pergo.. don't do it. The stuff tends to warp when exposed to water or moisture for long periods of time, since it isn't really fully encased in resin. If you're talking about the plastic deck material, that stuff would work as a cabin sole but is pretty ugly. I would recommend that you go with epoxy sealed wood instead.

Customer Reviews
Overall User Rating: 6 Wheel Stainless Steel Pastry Cutter / Dough Divider ( 4.2 stars from 19 reviews )
Good pastry wheel cutter. We use it in our bakery to cut croissant everyday. Over time I have noticed that it doesn't hold as tightly as it used to and the spacing can slip a little bit. Not a huge deal, but you need to make sure the wing nut is extra tight. For the price you can't go wrong.
Joanne C. Posted on 05/20/2015
I have to say, first of all, that this is by far the lowest price I found for a large pastry cutter.... But, it's definitely wobbly and takes a little work to keep all the wheels straight.
George I. Posted on 05/05/2015
I bought this in order to evenly cut/score bars of brownies and other sheet-baked bars and squares. However, the product did not work well for me (Perhaps I have a faulty unit?). Only the inside 3 or 4 lock in place when the wingnut is fastened. The outside ones slide in and out as I am cutting, so do not provide an accurate cut.
Michael H. Posted on 02/13/2015
Thank you for your review! We are sorry to hear that this item did not work as you had anticipated. This cutter is made for softer things, such as pastry dough. If you'd like to try a more heavy duty pastry cutter, try this Ateco Stainless Steel Pastry Cutter instead.

Purchased the 6 wheel stainless steel pastry cutter because of the price and fast shipping. Very nice quality and have had no problems with daily use.
Thomas B. Posted on 01/13/2015
A bit flimsy but not bad for the price paid - works well for light pastry doughs, not for anything heavy or with hard materials.
Chris S. from Mountain Oven, LLC Posted on 01/01/2015
I was excited when I got this but disappointed when I used it. I give it a middle of the road review bc it is very sturdy but when I try to cut it always unlocks. I was trying to use it for cutting ribbons for cakes and they never came out right.
Cathy H. Posted on 08/17/2014
Thank you for your review! Please contact a Customer Solutions Representative if you are unhappy with your purchase. If you would like to upgrade, try the Ateco 13956 6 small wheel pastry cutter (August Thomsen) instead!

The new dough divider / pastry cutter wheel will work in less time making the standard cookie cutter I have now. With this cutter, it will cut my time way down and be more productive.
Renee T. from My Sweet Escape Posted on 03/04/2014
I don't use this pastry cutter in the conventional way. I mostly use it to cut fondant. It makes it so easy! I am able to cut three stripes at once with nice clean edges!!
Heather A. Posted on 11/06/2013
A very Nice piece of equipment, easy to adjust and use. I purchased this to use for myself, it's nice having a quality instrument. I compared this to others like it and decided to get this one for two reasons, 1 the Quality and durability, 2 The price was a far better deal than other places.
Ray C. Posted on 10/03/2013
I have used this cutter several times to cut pasta. I was hesitant in purchasing after reading it can wobble. True, it can, but I have found if you move quickly and do not put massive amounts of pressure on it, it does just fine. I have not tried it with thick pieces of dough, but my primary reason for purchasing was for pasta.
Cheryl F. Posted on 09/25/2013
Hubby loves using this to cut fudge,brownies and especially toffee. When the toffee starts to harden, it's often a race against the clock. This makes cutting numerous pieces quickly a breeze. We won't be without this, especially since you can vary the sizes to fit your needs. Wish I had gotten sooner.
Jacqueline C. from WINDY CORNER GARDEN Posted on 07/30/2013
This is great for cutting the perfect size brownies, croissants, and bars. I love this tool because it saves so much time and makes all of my product a consistent size.
Laura B. Posted on 02/02/2013
This product cuts my various products to the size I need without tearing or missing spots. This product guarantees its equal sizes every single time.
Michael J. from The Pie Kitchen Posted on 10/10/2012
I use this to cut strips of fondant for perfect even sizes...Love this item so much I bought 2. Hand wash and towel dry for best results
Felicia H. from FH Cakes Posted on 10/01/2012
Our bakery specializes in a three layer bar topped with chocolate. Very difficult to cut. This cutter works very well for scoring the product but not for cutting all the way through.
Donna A. from CanadianSweetsAndTreats Posted on 08/11/2012
A great tool for marking even lines on a dough! Exact measurements allow you to adjust to the size you desire! Great for croissants and danishes!
Eric K. Posted on 05/11/2012
this stainless steel pastry cutter is very handy and useful when cutting different types of dough like for croissants or when your just making decorations
Angel C. Posted on 12/10/2011
I've owned my retail bakery for almost 3 years. When I first opened it was so hard to get people to cut things the right size. This is a must have for portion control and product consistency.
Kevin H. from Great Harvest Bread Company Posted on 02/19/2011
The quality is okay on this tool. Some of the wheels are loose (wobbles) and one is really tight (difficult to turn). I expected it to be this way since it was cheap. This cutter doesn't have measurement markers. This is useful for students and those who want speed and can sacrifice precision.

Why Tom Foley matters
A golden boy congressman from Spokane, Speaker of the House, and U.S. ambassador to Japan, now an implausible 84.
Foley was schooled by the Jesuits at Gonzaga, an Irish Catholic whose family worshiped at the cathedral of Franklin Roosevelt. His grandfather moved West from Minnesota, a boiler-shop foreman with the Great Northern Railroad. The Foleys lived comfortably during the Great Depression, with Tom's father, Ralph, the elected Spokane County prosecuting attorney and later a long-serving superior court judge.
The Depression still made despair visible. Foley watched men queued up at Sacred Heart Hospital, served apples and snacks by the nuns. Decades later, Foley fought for food stamps and other anti-poverty pillars of LBJ's Great Society. He became the consummate liberal representing a rock-ribbed conservative district. How?
Foley and his staff worked their arses off. They had a Talmudic command of the agriculture bill, every section committed to memory. A former editor at the Spokane Spokesman-Review said that was the simple secret: work. Foley earned the respect of farmers from Kettle Falls to Walla Walla. Men and women pulled from Grant Wood's American Gothic, pitchfork in hand.
Serendipity launched Foley's political career, when on the last day of candidate filing in 1964, a local Democrat called his bluff. Foley, then a counsel to the Senate Interior Committee, bit, even though his bank account was empty. "Everyone seems to have a rich uncle," Foley said. "Well, I had a rich cousin." His cousin, Hank, fronted the money for the filing fee, and Foley went all the way with LBJ.
Foley now is the last surviving member of Washington's "class of '64" that included leaders such as Rep. Lloyd Meeds. It was a boys club then, although the formidable Julia Butler Hansen powered the 3rd District. Foley ultimately enlisted Heather Strachen, his trusted spouse and confidant, to run his office, a subtle strike against the boy's club.
Time collapses. Today's political class sees the world through the glass, cynically. Young Democrats and young Republicans attend campaign boot camps to learn the workings of direct mail, of hit pieces and sound bites. All tactics, no soul.
Tom Foley has soul, all the while joking about his "type B personality."
History's great-man theory is hooey, yet here stands Foley, a no-BS statesman, a light that makes 21st century politicians look small. It's OK to call him a great man.

You know we're champions of the underrated hotties here. Well, all the hotties really, though we always do hope that the underrated hotties will someday show us their gratitude in the form of bundt cakes or thank you cards or maybe just steamy naughty and potentially dangerous sexual favors. Though the bundt cake does seem more likely.
But among the names and faces and ridiculously hot bodies we believe deserve more attention include Victoria's Secret model Doutzen Kroes, who these days is not only flashing some serious MILFtastic credentials of her own, but despite being often omitted from the ranks of the hottest V.S. angels, just continues to put up hot photoshoot after hot photoshoot, including her new spread in the December issue of Vogue magazine. Yes, it's for the ladies. Yes, it's fashiony and high-brow. But it's also super hot. Thank to Doutzen. Love her. Enjoy.

Barcelona, Spain
My Rating
The half-day trip started a bit later than scheduled because some participants were late showing up at the office. Our tour guide was pleasant and provided us with the background of the Basilica and Monastery. With the time allowed, we were not able to line up to see the black virgin or make our visit to the museum worthwhile with the additional admission. I enjoyed the cog-wheel train ride to the top. Perhaps consideration should be given to lengthen the visit to four hours instead of the three hours so that participants could complete all the activities.
Glasgow, United Kingdom
My Rating
Our Glasgow hop-on-hop-off bus brought us to a lot of points of interest. The 48-hour access allowed us to see the Clydeport, Merchant City, Kelvingrove Museum, University of Glasgow, Glasgow on the Green, Glasgow (St. Mungo's) Cathedral and the Necropolis. Buses were frequent and they travel either eastward or westward, giving passengers a choice of stops. We have enjoyed the narration provided by Neil Oliver and other staff. Having our pre-purchased coupon validated was quick and convenient too! Great value!
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
My Rating
We had a wonderful time during our 5-day Scottish Highlands tour. The service was provided by Experience Highland in Edinburgh. Our group of 16 came from diverse backgrounds, was congenial and full of fun. The accommodation was comfortable and breakfasts provided were great. Brian was our tour leader, driver and guide. In addition to his sense of humour, knowledge on Scotland's natural history and its people(s), Brian also provides an insight into Scottish perspectives on the sites and events of Scotland. He is extremely attentive to the needs of our group and his pride and love of Scotland are evident. We have also learned much about the cultural aspects of Scotland.

On 6 December, LT-Innovate released a Vision Statement entitled "Language Technologies:
The Discussion Document underlines that "mastering human language is the next big opportunity in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Language Technology (LT) is a key technology of the future. Europe (a multilingual continent with more than 63 languages) should step up its investment in LT as strategic key enabling technologies that will determine the continent's economic competitiveness as well as its cultural integrity.
In one of its main proposals, the Discussion Document calls for a "European Language Cloud" (ELC) which would considerably bring down the costs of cross-border products and services and allow all Europeans to seamlessly interact with the 1 billion+ market of speakers of European languages. The ELC would constitute a major opportunity and boost for the European economy and society, creating many new jobs. Such a platform should also support the languages of Europe's major trading partners, making European companies and citizens fittest for the global markets.
Jochen Hummel, LT-Innovate Chairman, comments: "There is no lack of innovation in Europe. The main stumbling block is that Europe's SMEs do not grow beyond their national or regional linguistic islands to address European and global markets. European SMEs must get access to a market of continent-wide dimensions, through European-scale projects backed by European-scale funding. The European Commission's Horizon 2020 Programme offers a major opportunity to boost innovation and regain competitiveness;
The Discussion Document is available on the LT-Innovate website (www.lt-innovate.eu/
Background information
Language Technologies:
LT is the branch of information technology dealing with natural language information. It can roughly be split into three segments: intelligent content, speech and translation technologies.
LT Innovate – The Forum of Europe's Language Technology Industry
LT-Innovate represents companies, mostly SMEs, involved in developing products using intelligent content, speech and translation technologies. LT-Innovate was founded in January 2012. As of December, it gathers 120 LT suppliers in 22 countries, as well as several dozens of other LT stakeholders. The European Language Technology industry generated an aggregate turnover of 19.3 bn € in 2011. LT is a very dynamic industry, with a yearly growth rate in excess of 10%.

The new parents, who welcomed their baby girl Wyatt Isabelle in September, will star in a film within 'Annie', called 'Moonquake Lake', reported Contactmusic.
In the movie, the character of Will Stacks, played by Jamie Foxx and the titular star, played by the 11-year-old actress Quvenzhane Wallis will go to the cinema to see the film, where Kunis and Kutcher play lovers.
Kunis, 31, and Kutcher, 36, will then be confronted by a blue villain, played by the pop star Rihanna.
The remake of the classic 1982 film – which originally starred Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan and Aileen Quinn as 'Annie', has been produced by Jay Z and Will Smith.
Cameron Diaz and Rose Byrne are also set to star in the film, which is due out in cinemas this December 25.

Mila Kunis has never shied away from speaking exactly what's on her mind (just one reason why we love her). And when the Jupiter Ascending star committed to saying yes to anything and everything that came her way for a year, her world opened up immensely. Now she's engaged, expecting, and, having the time of her life.
Kunis is marveling at her breasts. "They're amazing!" she purrs with delight as she takes a seat at a table for lunch one afternoon in late March, opening her cardigan and tugging down her T-shirt to reveal newly developed cleavage. "They've tripled in size. I was a 34A; now I'm a 36C," she says. "I'm so excited! I'm telling everyone I know, 'Go ahead, touch them!'" Kunis leans forward and breaks into a wide, shameless grin: "Without being an asshole, I have to say, I love being pregnant."
Kunis, 30, couldn't be an asshole if she tried. She is not that girl. She is brassy, sassy, a throwback to the early days of Goldie Hawn and Barbra Streisand, when a comedienne could be both sexy and funny. She is, as her friend Channing Tatum describes her, a free spirit. "She has such an easygoing personality that she's probably the only girl on the planet where, if the world were coming to an end, she'd crack a joke and make me laugh," he says.
Even when playing selfish teen Jackie Burkhart for eight seasons on That '70s Show, Kunis remained appealing and magnetic, her character's insolence unable to eclipse Kunis' seductive earthiness. This accessibility comes through in every Kunis performance, from her witchy feline ballerina in Black Swan in 2010 to her latest lead as a toilet cleaner turned intergalactic warrior queen, opposite Tatum, in Andy and Lana Wachowski's sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending, out July 18. Her bankability as both a dramatic and comedic actress (she also voices the Meg Griffin character on Family Guy) has led to an endorsement deal with ethical gemstone company Gemfields. No matter the role, Kunis reads as genuine, like someone you'd want to know. "I originally reached out to Mila to play the young mistress character," says writer/director Paul Haggis of his latest ensemble drama, Third Person, out this month. "She said she wanted to play the maid instead, and she said, 'Let me meet you,' so we met for lunch. She said, 'I can imagine what it would be like to lose everything. I can play this part.' It reminded me of when I cast Sandra Bullock against type in Crash," Haggis says of the demanding, complicated role. "Mila is going to surprise a lot of people."
On giving birth: "Two people are allowed in my delivery room. My doctor and my significant other. And he is staying above the action. He'll be head to head. Not head to vag. Unless he wants to risk his life and see. But I wouldn't if I were him. I highly doubt he wants to see that being ripped apart and shredded. Because it will be shredded. It's just a matter of how badly."
On her friendship-turned-fiancée Ashton Kutcher: "One day, it just changed. All of a sudden, it wasn't the same. And I was really proud of myself for acknowledging that. The best day of my life so far was the proposal. I cried. I was a mess. Not to discredit any relationships in my past, but this relationship is different."
On her Year of Yes: "I was really good at saying no. I decided I was just going to say yes to any opportunity that came, no matter how crazy. And it changed my life."
On what she never wants to do: "I'll never have a clothing line. I promise you, that will never happen."
On her future children: "I just don't want my kids to be assholes. I feel like so many kids nowadays are. Both of us just want to have well-behaved, honest, nice children who people meet and say, 'That's a good kid.'"

There are many reasons why you may choose to propose with a temporary engagement ring. You may want to wait until you can go to the jewelry store and pick out her engagement ring together. That way, you don't mess it up! You may also be traveling and just don't trust that TSA won't blow your cover when you go through security. Maybe you are proposing at the top of a bridge that goes over the beautiful ocean, and you have reoccurring nightmares that you drop the ring into the deep blue sea as you pull it out. That actually has happened!
I can certainly see the case as to why you may want to go with a temporary engagement ring. But my fear for my clients is, what if for a split second she believes the temporary ring is the actual ring you got her and she feels sad? When you think back to your proposal day, you don't want her to have any negative feelings about it and I just wonder if she sees the cubic zirconia ring is she going to think, "Oh I hate this ring?" And even if you do end up telling her later, will she still feel momentary negativity?
So when Lara from Hellyeahaccessories emailed me a picture of her temporary engagement ring, I thought that might be a cool option. It actually says right on the ring, "TEMPORARY ENGAGEMENT RING" so she will know right away that you have bigger and better plans in store. What do you think?
If you are planning your marriage proposal and need some help with the perfect proposal ideas or planning, contact The Heart Bandits today. Need to conceal your engagement ring in a box that won't blow your surprise? Check out www.ringstash.com for a thin engagement ring box!

Congress and campuses feud over social sciences
Jeff Elman, dean of social sciences at UCSD, said, "Many researchers worry that what is being seen as politically motivated restrictions could spread to other areas of science and technology that have been controversial, like climate change, evolution, and biology."
Social sciences are broadly defined as the study of how people behave and influence others. Researchers examine everything from voting and buying patterns to why people fall in love to the roots of racism to whether being told the ending of movie in advance spoils the experience for viewers. Some studies involve the collection and analysis of data. Others involve sophisticated experimentation.
"The public isn't always aware that we use the same methods as other scientists, and they're just as rigorous," said Sandra Sgoutas-Emch, a psychology professor at the University of San Diego.
One reason for the differing perceptions, said Gordon Clanton, a sociologist at SDSU, is that the natural sciences have a longer history.
"The natural sciences started earlier and are more precise," Clanton said. "Social science, by its nature, is less precise, less determinate, but still very useful. Astronomers can predict the orbit of a planet with greater precision than social scientists can predict human group behavior. But social science can tell us a lot more about human behavior than 'common sense' or anecdotal accounts."
The current political controversy about the social sciences goes to the need to make sure academia prepares students for the workplace, says Adam Shapiro, dean of the College of Humanities, Arts, Behavioral & Social Sciences at Cal State San Marcos.
"I can tell you that there has been more discussion by academic leaders in the liberal arts that we need to ensure that we remain relevant and that we are more mindful of making students more competitive in the job market when they graduate," Shapiro said. "For many years, some faculty in the liberal arts have been reluctant to engage in discussions about career preparation as it seems antithetical to the liberal education model — it's about liberating one's mind not fattening one's wallet.
"However, I sense a genuine desire among many of my faculty colleagues to balance the core values of the liberal education model with the needs of the region's economy."

J. Holiday - It's Yours
Artist: J. Holiday
Producer: Big Reese & Jasper
Album: Round 2
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 57 votes )
Since releasing his debut album, Back of My Lac (which included megahit Bed as well as its nearly-as-successful follow-up, Suffocate) and lending his hook to Fat Joe's I Won't Tell, J. Holiday has been pretty quiet. In the interim, he has been working on his sophomore album, Round 2, hoping to replicate his past victories and achieve continued success. On his first single, It's Yours, he may have done just that; with the same falsetto-tinged voice, target audience-appeal, and a Big Reese & Jasper beat reminiscent of vintage Los Da Mystro, the cut has the makings of a bona fide crossover hit. The only question left to ask is, have listeners' tastes passed Holiday by?
