Back to the future
Riverfront project expected to serve as national model for reversing sprawl
Ask a social scientist about the roots of sprawl, and he's likely to point to the 1950s economic boom, the rise of interstate highways and our American love affair with the automobile.
Ask William Abeloff, and he'll point to 1606 and the London founding of the Virginia Company.
In a narration rich with historical detail and quotes from 17th century documents, the recent speaker at a meeting of the Western Henrico Rotary Club drew frequent parallels between modern suburban developers and London investors of centuries ago – from their identical urges to develop "far-off, underutilized real estate" to their intense focus on the bottom line.
"[The Virginia Company venture] wasn't a venture into the unknown, or based on some romanticized ideal to develop the New World," Abeloff told the group. "It was based on economics and the opportunity to create new sources of revenues."
Reaching the falls of the James River a mere four days after the Jamestown landing, Captain Christopher Newport encountered a site that appeared made to order for his backers at the Virginia Company, who had instructed him to "find out a safe port in the entrance of some navigable river...and such a place you may perchance find a hundred miles from the river's mouth, and the further up the better."
The settlements that were soon to line the James in Richmond and Henrico, said Abeloff, can be viewed as examples of "the ultimate sprawl from downtown London."
And just as Henrico played a key role in the growth of that four-centuries-old venture into a new nation, it appears that the county will soon join another trailblazing effort – one that could set a precedent for the rest of the nation in reversing the sprawl so devastating to modern cities.
Abeloff, who converted tobacco warehouses into loft apartments to form the largest historical rehabilitation project in the United States (Richmond's Tobacco Row), has his eye now on a mile-long piece of riverfront straddling the city/county line at Rocketts Landing.
The run-down industrial district near the convergence of the Osborne Turnpike and Williamsburg Road, named for a ferry operated by Robert Rockett in 1730, was once the busiest port in the Western Hemisphere. But decades of neglect have left the once-bustling neighborhood languishing, said Abeloff, "like a piece of tarnished jewelry, practically right under our eyes.
"That industrial development has had the effect of cutting us off from that part of the river – with its large buildings and chain link fences blocking access," he added. "That's why if you haven't cruised on the Annabel Lee riverboat or driven down Route 5, chances are you have never seen Rocketts and don't even know where it is."
What's more, said Abeloff, "It's about one mile of choice riverfront property within walking distance of Tobacco Row, Church Hill, Shockoe Bottom, Shockoe Slip and even downtown that today pays the grand total of $50,000 a year in property taxes to Richmond and Henrico."
Abeloff's plan calls for private investment of $250 million to develop almost 50 acres into commercial offices and residential units, a green waterfront park and promenade, retail space, restaurants, hotel and boat dock – "all with absolutely spectacular views of the James River and downtown Richmond's skyline."
Investors in the project include such prominent Richmonders as James E. Ukrop, E. Claiborne Robins, Jr., and Circuit City chairman Richard L. Sharp; among Henrico supporters of the plan, Abeloff numbers county manager Virgil Hazelett (a member of the Rotary group who voiced his enthusiasm for the project at the meeting) and members of the Board of Supervisors. In August, the Board voted unanimously to adopt a new mixed-use zoning classification that will pave the way for the Henrico portion of the project, which is slated for the first phase of development.
Another of Abeloff's prominent allies is Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources Tayloe Murphy, a long-time conservationist who has hailed the project as a "crucial component of the emerging economic vitality of the City of Richmond...[and] a unique opportunity to address environmental, historic preservation and land development issues all at once."
As Abeloff noted, environmentalists find it easy to embrace the Rocketts project because it promises to enhance the environment as it boosts the tax base – unlike typical developments, which reap #their economic rewards at the expense of negative environmental effects. Foremost among the economic benefits of Rocketts Landing, said Abeloff, will be an estimated annual tax yield of $6 million for city and county treasuries.
By the end of October, Virginia's Department of Environmental Quality is expected to approve a plan of remediation for the project that Abeloff expects will become a model for brownfield development across the country.
"By re-using land so close to our downtown," he emphasized, "[Rocketts Landing] represents an anti-sprawl project reflecting the best aspects of smart growth. It represents brownfield redevelopment at its best – the antidote to sprawl."
On May 24, 2007 – 10 days after the celebration of Jamestown's quadricentennial – Richmond will mark the 400th anniversary of Christopher Newport's sail into the harbor. Abeloff hopes by then to have a riverfront village that will not only draw the locals to "live, work, shop and play," but will pull Jamestown tourists up Route 5 and I-64 to see what Richmond has to offer.
A self-described "recovering lawyer," Abeloff told the Rotary gathering at the Westwood Club that he grew up nearby in a red brick house at Club Lane and Libbie Avenue.
Perhaps the old golf course he had for a playground, or the horseback rides he took to Short Pump and back, Abeloff said, contributed to his interest in the environment and preservation. At any rate, he reflected, he and his fellow investors believe they have more at stake in the project than a simple return on investment.
"As I hope you can tell," Abeloff concluded, "we at Rocketts Landing are out to create something for Richmond that goes beyond a simple real estate development. We're trying to reclaim and re-use some of the most important, vibrant, historic property around.
"Most of us," he said, "see this as an opportunity to do something great for the place we love – our hometown."

M. W Thring argues (Letters, 3 June) for replacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy sources including solar energy. But it is simple to demonstrate that solar energy cannot provide significant replacement. The following example should suffice.
Ratcliffe is a typical British coal-fired power station. It has a generating capacity of 1940 megawatts. Mean solar energy supply to the Earth's surface is 347 watts per square metre (the solar energy is slightly less than this at Britain's latitude). So, each 5.59 square kilometres of Britain receives energy from the Sun equivalent to the output of Ratcliffe.
Power equivalent to Ratcliffe would be obtained if 5.59 km2 of land were covered by solar collectors which were 100 per cent efficient. The ground beneath these collectors would be dark and would have a temperature like that of the North Pole in winter. So, it would need lighting and heating powered by more ...

Need MBR killer and fake MS Windows signature malware
I need a malware sample which kills the MBR (not a disk killer) and which runs on Windows NT 6.0 x64 and above platforms (not a DOS virus).
Also, I need a sample with a fake but not invalid Microsoft Windows digital signature.
Thanks in advance.
How exactly would someone
How exactly would someone get a fake, non-invalid digital signature? That would sort of entirely defeat the digital signature system.
Dunno exactly but..
some time ago I had such malware. The signature was neither valid nor invalid. I don't know anymore how the exhibitor was defined. The Comodo HIPS classified the malware as a safe program due to the fake signature (What has been fixed after my report.)

Time to look again at ATP Tour structure, says Barry Cowan
Barry Cowan blogs on the vagaries of the ATP Tour schedule and the battle for the Dubai 500 title.
Last Updated: 22/02/13 8:55pm
While five of the top 10 players in the world are competing at a 250 event in Marseille, the top seed at the Memphis 500 is Marin Cilic - the current World No 12.
It can't be right that an event which pays less prize money but more in guarantees than another attracts a greater number of top players.
To me that's evidence that the calendar is flawed, as well as proof of how the sport is suffering from a shortage of top American players.
The ATP is going through an extremely hard time right now so this isn't the ideal time to embark on major restructuring, but that is what's needed.
It's not yet clear who will pick up the baton from ATP executive chairman and president Brad Drewett as he continues to battle illness so don't expect any swift decisions.
But it will clearly be no easy task to get each and every tournament onside, as typified by the recent row about prize money levels at Indian Wells, which is owned by Larry Ellison.
As one of the wealthiest men in the world, Ellison wanted to increase the prize money for the tournament only for it to be stopped by the ATP board because of interests elsewhere and the pressure it could put on other tournaments to follow suit.
The two parties have reached a compromise for the 2013 season, with the total Indian Wells prize pot up a reported $860k on last year, but it is only a one-off solution to the lingering problem facing the Tour: namely, that some tournaments want to grow, but others don't.
I've no doubt that the organisers of the upcoming World Tour 500 event in Dubai - not to mention the Doha 250 and Abu Dhabi (if they could have a Tour event) - would like to offer a lot more prize money.
But effectively they are capped because of the way the Tour is structured with the distinction made between Masters 1000, 500 and 250 events.
Dubai will welcome Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic once again this year, but if it was able to offer more money we might be looking forward to seeing the top four in action.
I'm not saying it's time to start afresh because events like Monte Carlo - which is not a mandatory event but is still a Masters 1000 - have earned their place in history and don't deserve to be downgraded.
But perhaps it is time for the board to assess whether each of our current Masters 1000 tournaments merit that status. There are plenty of tournaments out there which aspire to knock Miami off its perch as the 'fifth grand slam'.
Federer returns to Dubai as defending champion after just about the worst set-and-a-half of tennis I've seen him play, in defeat to Julien Benneteau at the World Indoor Tournament in Rotterdam.
He played so poorly that you can't read anything into it. He looked off the pace and was struggling for timing. It made me wonder just how much work he has put in on the court since Australia.
He's tweaked his schedule this year, presumably with the aim of peaking at the season's third and fourth Grand Slams.
But if Dubai plays similarly to last year, when the pace of the court was very quick and played into Federer's hands, then he should return strongly.
Novak Djokovic will want to prise back the title he won three times in a row from 2009 and it's so important that he, as world's No 1, has that hunger because it can't all be about the Grand Slams. The only way he is going to stay at No 1 is to do well in the 500s and the 1000s.
He and Federer will have to watch out for Juan Martin del Potro, who played really well last week - I was really impressed with the way he overcame Grigor Dimitrov in the semi-final and then Benneteau in the final.
He'll not only want to continue his fine run but I'm sure he'll be desperate for a crack at Djokovic or Federer.
Like Del Potro, Tomas Berdych is another knocking on the door and conditions in Dubai should suit him. On any given day he is a challenge for Djokovic and Federer, whom he beat at last year's US Open, but I'm starting to wonder if he will ever beat the top four consistently.
As great as the top four guys are (and I include Rafa Nadal in that), it would be fantastic to see some of the other players break through.
That was what was so refreshing about Dimitrov's run of wins in Rotterdam. There's no doubt that he's getting closer; he's really starting to knock on the door and he's only going to rise higher in the rankings this year. A place in the top 20 is definitely within his grasp at some stage in 2013.
The top guys have been around for so long that they are going to be selective with their schedule, so tennis needs other players to stand up and be counted - someone who can carry the sport for five or 10 years after each of the current top four decide to call it a day.
As of yet no-one has been able to break through and it's up to the next generation of stars to learn how to handle the expectation from the tennis world and go out and fulfil their full potential.

European Council President Herman Van Rompuy has said that further destabilization in Ukraine will lead to the use of additional sanctions against Russia.
"Further steps in destabilizing Ukraine will call for additional sanctions. The EU is ready to take decisions, if needed," he wrote on his Twitter page. In this regard, Van Rompuy called for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. "The EU and Japan will continue to coordinate their position within G7, also on sanctions," he said, while commenting the agreements that were reached as part of the EU-Japan summit, which took place in Brussels on Wednesday.

This is horrible to me. its harder to get around and the page bugs me. I dont even like the new button to get to your content. everything sucks about it, and I want the old one back it doesnt even let me reply sometimes
Sorry, but there is no point in saying "The upgrade sucks" and "I want the old one back", as its a one way upgrade; once it's been upgraded, we can't go back. Obviously, it's going to take some time to get used to, for some people more than others, but it's one of those things that we just have to take with a grain of salt and try to find the positives in, even if you really think its a negative change overall.
Lots of people said the same when TamaTalk first upgraded into the software that we've had for the past year, but as we get used to it, we learn to accept it and find the best in it. In a matter of time, I'm sure we will all get to know how the new TamaTalk operates, and it will be second nature to us all. Just be patient, you will get it eventually.
I for one am very optimistic with the upgrade. I guess it helps that I haven't been the most active member of TamaTalk at all, so I don't find the site too dissimilar than before. I look forward to experiencing all of the new features and upgrades added within this upgrade, and with all other future upgrades to come. I believe keeping the site modern and up to date is a brilliant thing - the world moves on, and nothing moves faster than technology, and sometimes we have to move along with it, even when we don't necessarily like it at first.

Webber's pole vault
Quali at the German GP today was definitely the most exciting one of the year so far. Loads of changes at the front, and some scary moments provided by the rain.
Formula 1 Blog – BBC Top Gear
Quali at the German GP today was definitely the most exciting one of the year so far. Loads of changes at the front, and some scary moments provided by the rain.
Jenson Button topped first practice this morning for the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, with Williams' Nico Rosberg going fastest in the afternoon.
The Ferraris are both back at the top of the time sheets after today's second practice in Sepang for the Malaysian GP, with Kimi Raikkonen going quickest. But his morning wasn't without drama. Or smoke. Lots of smoke.
Is it just me, or is it strange that Flavio Briatore has signed Nelson Piquet Jnr at Renault for another year? Or is it not so strange? Maybe it's not so strange at all.
Today's second practice session didn't go well for either McLaren, and if this is a sign of things to come in Sunday's race, then Lewis' title dreams are in trouble.
The weekend kicked off with the press conference in a small room – unfortunate as this was the best attended of all 18 Thursday press conferences. The seats were quickly filled with journalists, leaving standing room only, much to the annoyance of photographers herded in at the back.
Lewis Hamilton could actually become world champion on Sunday at the Chinese GP, which is pretty amazing for British fans, when you think we've not had a world champion since Damon Hill back in 1996. The chances are pretty slim that he'll do it mind, but it's definitely possible.
A laser message projected onto the pit buildings says: 'First F1 Night Race. Thank you for being a part of history.' History indeed, but F1 people should be thanking the Singapore organisers for a simply superb job. And, just to round off an exceptional weekend, we had an exceptional race.

Aviation Maintenance Technician Senior Chief
Peter G. MacDougall
Aviation Maintenance Technician Senior Chief Peter G. MacDougall entered active duty service in September 1974. Upon completing basic training at Coast Guard Training Center Cape May, N.J., he reported to USCG Aircraft Repair & Supply Center in Elizabeth City N.C. for "A" School. After graduation from Aviation Machinist Mate (AD) "A" school in May 1975, ANAD MacDougall reported to CG Air Station Kodiak, AK. Under the Command of former Ancient Albatross (#11) Captain Ed Nelson Jr., AD3 MacDougall earned his aircrew wings in December 1975 as a Flight Mechanic on the Sikorsky HH-3F "Pelican" helicopters.
MacDougall transferred to CG Air Station Cape Cod in January 1976, where he advanced to AD2 in August of 1977 and continued to fly search and rescue missions as an H-3 Flight Mechanic. Tragedy struck Air Station Cape Cod when the HH-3F "1432" went down while conducting a medevac rescue hundreds of miles offshore of Cape Cod. Lost were dear friend and mentor Lcdr. Jim Stiles, Canadian Forces exchange pilot Captain Rick Burge, Avionicsman and duty-crew brother AT2 Brad Tait, and Corpsman HS2 Bruce Kahler. Flight Mechanic and friend AD3 Mark Torr, was the lone survivor. After the loss of his friends in the crash, and after losing two out of two engines during his last H-3 flight, AD2 MacDougall took a hint and took a break from flying and transferred to the USCG Reserves in 1979.
Joining the Coast Guard Reserve after his release from active service, MacDougall became a Machinery Technician (MK) at CG Station Gloucester MA., where he earned qualifications as Engineer on the 41' Utility Boat (UTB) and the 44' Motor Life Boat. After returning to Alaska in April 1984, he worked as an civilian Airframe & Powerplant mechanic on a variety of float planes and helicopters and served in the CG Reserves as a 41' UTB Engineer at CG Station Juneau.

Gluten-Free Beef Steak Braised with Mustard Gravy
Braised Beef Steak with gravy –this recipe is an old favorite in my family, so I was happy it converted easily to gluten-free.
I often make it with bottom round steak, but sometimes a chuck steak is a better bargain at the store. They both work well when cooked this way. Also it can be described as whole foods and can suit a paleo diet.

Emails generated by Bobax-H come with a variety of message texts including: "Saddam Hussein - Attempted Escape, Shot dead. Attached some pics that i found". Other variations in subject lines used by the worm claim to have pictures of a captured Osama Bin Laden.
If a user actually runs one of the infected attachments, then they effectively load a backdoor email relay module onto their PCs. This is then used for - you guessed it - spam! The virus is currently spreading slowly throughout cyberspace.

Yesterday i wrote a blog post for CrunchyBlogger 10 stupidly simple SEO questions for Every Webmaster. As i promised you today i am posting answers of all questions. Remember that these aren't the only way to answer this questions correctly because some questions are more open-minded.
So here are the Answer of All Questions :-

Ans :- Canonical Url Tag is a <link rel> item in header of a web page or document that tells the search engines and indicates the "original" and "canonical" version of web page and website content. Canonical Url is intended to tell the search engines which Url to index when multiple pages of your website have same content or similar content..
301 redirect is a permanent redirect which tell the browser and search engines that a page has been permanently moved or redirected to a new Url.. 302 redirect is a temporary redirect that will change again and revert back in the future.. Search engines like Bing And Google interpret 301 redirect by passing a link equity and ranking values from 301 redirect page to targeted page.. 302 redirect doesn't receive the same value as 301 redirect and may your webpage show in search result with the original Url after having 302 redirect applied..
Meta refresh tag is also a directive of header of a document and it indicates after a certain time page get redirected to new location or reload the webpage. All search engine treats short meta refresh tag as a redirect and passes all the link equity and ranking value to targeted webpage.. longer meta refresh tag is treated and indexed as normal..

not going to buy this one bit, Spore sucked, Sim city sucked. EA is failing in the iPhone games department. The only reason why i even BOUGHT spore was out of curiosity when the first games were coming out...
The key to a good iPhone game right now is to STAY away from 3d as much as possible... so if EA does in fact make SIM 3... it will most likely be omega BALLS.
Not to mention that when i'm gaming it's b/c i'm mobile and on the go.... or riding the train.. sitting in the waiting room... how on earth am i going to have the time to play a Sims game? i do my iPhone gaming in like 4-5 minute bursts.
EA to Unleash Sims 3 for the iPhone this Summer!
Hey iPhone users, not enough excuses yet to abandon real life and run down your battery? Never fear, EA is here! Seems the uber-developer is readying a release of Sims 3 for the iPhone (and iPod Touch). Says TUAW:
it's set for an almost simultaneous release on PC, Mac, the iPhone and the iPod touch. The popularity of iPhone apps may have done what Mac gamers couldn't do for years: convince developers that releasing their games simultaneously on Mac and PC was worth it.
PC version set to ship June 2. No release date for the iPhone version yet, but EA claims Summer 2009.
Anyone here eager to get their Sims on?

EA to Unleash Sims 3 for the iPhone this Summer!
not going to buy this one bit, Spore sucked, Sim city sucked. EA is failing in the iPhone games department. The only reason why i even BOUGHT spore was out of curiosity when the first games were coming out...
Will it be the full version, or a scaled down version like Spore?
While I don't currently play Sims, I'll be onto this app like a Hobo on a hotdog.
First iPhonemilk: SimCity was amazing on the iPhone! Not really onto the spore series but looked ok. Sims 3 will be amazing on the iPhone. Simply amazing.
We don't care about how much you don't have time to play a game that DOESNT at all concern the game or it's attributes. Go play with your BF super noob.
I love the Sims I would buy it not matter what the cost was. I have all the expansion packs for my mac and windows base computers I cant wait to get it for the iphone. I do agree with the previous writer about sim city. Maybe I just dont get it or something. It is not fun at all. Hope they dont make the same mistake on the sims 3 for the iphone
I'm all for Sims 3 on the iPhone! I'm sick of the little games that are fun to play for ten minutes or so. I wanna see more games that will rival their PSP and DS counterparts. A desktop class Sims 3 game will definatly be on my iPhone right along with NFS Undercover (whenever it comes out).

Video: Pronger shoots a towel at Eager after Game 2Continue reading.
Former Hawk Adam Burish backs off on Pronger comments
The Blackhawks just won the Stanley Cup. The team is celebrating on the ice of the Wachovia Center. Adam Burish didn't play in Game 6 of the finals, but came out to celebrate in his full gear … and then he was asked about Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger.
Remember that?
You know…those "I think Chris Pronger is the biggest idiot in the league" comments. Well, Burish has apologized.
Burish talked to David Amber, the host of the NHL Network's NHL on the Fly, about it. Here is Burish's answer:
I said some things I probably shouldn't have after that game. It was just a spur of the moment thing and I'm not going to sit and make an excuse about it because what's said was said. I've got a lot of respect for the guy. I think he's a Hall of Fame defenseman, one of the best that's ever played the game. Probably one of the hardest d-men to play against. He does everything well.
I really, truthfully didn't mean anything personal by it. It came out personal but it shouldn't have been said. I was embarrassed about it. I got a lot of respect for the guy and that team is so dangerous.
The video of his chat with Amber is above. But just in case you need a reminder of what was said, here's a video of Burish's original comments:
Oh yeah. Pronger had a funny response to Burish's comments. Here's that video as well. Enjoy.

BeerS of the Week: Saison Fantome, Rochefort 10
By William Brand

What's on Tap
A tale of two beers:
Rochefort 10 and Fantome Saison
By William Brand
Oakland Tribune
Article Launched: 09/09/2008 12:02:59 PM PDT
THIS IS A TALE OF TWO BEERS, both from breweries in the Ardennes in the west of Belgium. One is small and world famous; the other is absolutely tiny and famous only among beer geeks like me.
The first is Rochefort 10 ****1/2 It's made at the Trappist Abbaye Notre Dame de St. Remy, a religious institution founded in 1230. This is a dark, strong, 11.3 percent beer, one of a handful that are made at the six Trappist abbey breweries in Belgium.
The second is Fantome Saison ***½, made by a lone brewer, Dany Prignon, who has a deserved reputation for being both daring and chaotic. No one really knows what's in Fantome Saison, the big, 8 percent, luscious beer Prignon brews year-round…READ THE REST OF THE POST…

Top 5 WTF Moments From Castle Season 5, Episode 4: "Murder, He Wrote"
Who isn't obsessed with Castle this season? Seriously, the show is killing it, no pun intended, and this episode is no exception. But a handful of times, we had to scratch our heads because something is a little off.
Here are the top WTF moments from Castle Season 5, Episode 4: "Murder He Wrote."
5. Alexis Returns So Soon!
We weren't all that concerned about never seeing Alexis turn up in future Castle episodes, but we didn't think she would return home so quickly. Like, the very next episode.
If she came home to do laundry, that's one thing. But how many times did you wander back home on purpose? It's a Friday afternoon. There must be better ways to spend it than critiquing your dad on his lack of weekend preparation with his new girlfriend.
4. There Aren't Any Police Resources in the Hamptons!
When Beckett finds out that only one police officer is canvassing the area for clues, Chief Brady says that there just aren't any resources.
Though this falls under the minute detail category, we have to wonder exactly what happens up there. Expect an influx for robbers if they get wind of this.
3. Vinnie "The Scar" Files a Complaint Against Franklin!
Last time we checked, crime families don't file complaints. They simply umm … handle the matter.
2. Chief Brady Uses Google!
Forget those fancy police databases that can run a full background check on someone in milliseconds and probably tell the police what you had for breakfast that morning. That's too much of a hassle. Chief Brady uses what we all use to find out information on someone: Google.
He probably checked LinkedIn first, but Beckett's profile was tagged as private.
1. Someone Other Than Martha, Alexis, and Ryan Might Know!
Ryan was hellbent on finding out who Beckett was dating at the beginning of the episode. When he finds out it's Castle, he gives up, leaving Esposito confused. Ryan says that Beckett deserves her privacy.
But, if we aren't mistaken, Lanie tried to get all in Beckett's business a few episodes ago, and all of the sudden, questioned why Ryan and Esposito wanted to know so badly. She, too, told them that Beckett should have some privacy in that matter. She also makes it very clear on the phone with Castle that she has nothing to do with the conversation about Beckett's boyfriend, possibly knowing that Beckett is listening.
Coincidence in the similarity of Ryan and Lanie's dismissal of Beckett's private life? Maybe. But maybe not.

The Death of Discovery: Lala.com Goes Bye ByeMatt Geraghty May 10, 2010
Digital music as far as the eye can hear. (Image via Kables)
Over a year ago I posed some important questions in my post Lala.com: Miles Ahead of the Rest? regarding the future of Lala.com, the innovative digital music service.
"Is it too good to be true? 6 million songs for free without the guilt of illegal downloading? Your entire music collection stored in the cloud, accessible from any browser? And a streamlined user experience to boot?"
Well it took about a year to answer but, yes, it IS too good to be true. In a blow to music discovery, Lala just announced it will be shut down later this month by Apple who recently purchased them for a cool $80 million.
Lala subscribers who had thousands of web songs in their collection will now have to buy all of them again at iTunes — for likely ten times the price, unless iTunes launches a similar cloud feature and pricing model.
Many think there is a big iTunes cloud announcement looming, yet if they really had their new digital refugees in mind, why not offer to migrate all of Lala user content into the new iTunes cloud rather than simply issue credit?
And what happened to the great Lala feature called Music Mover that transferred all of your iTunes collection into Lala.com? Users should be able to use that to transfer your LaLa.com web collection right back into iTunes, right? Not so much.
The greatest opportunities with digital music lie in allowing people to tell other people about music they love. Word of mouth is beneficial both for artists and fans. This is where Lala had a big leg up with music feeds, the ability to follow friends, and Facebook embeddable songs and playlists.
The major European player in the music discovery space has been Spotify— the web cloud music service that provides you with access to 8 million songs and a robust set of social features and functionality. Just ask anyone in the UK and they'll be raving about it. It's not about ownership — but access. It's about enabling social collaboration, sharing, wireless syncing, and the iPhone/iTouch premium app. And it's free too.
Spotify is due to hit the U.S. market sometime this year. Hopefully it will be launched with some of the more user-centric features we grew to love with Lala.com. Or perhaps iTunes will roll out a new version with all the pricing, features and functionality that we had with Lala. After all with an overwhelming majority of music being consumed via illegal downloads (95 percent in 2008), the service that can best encourage illegal-file sharers to migrate to a legal model will likely be the most transformative for the music industry at large. That too will be good news for artists and fans alike.
Lala — Rest in peace.

Kaytee Products bird treats recalled due to salmonella fears
February 21, 2013 - 10:08 am
Decrease Increase Text size
Several varieties of Kaytee-brand bird treats are being recalled by Giant food stores due to fears over salmonella, the company says.
The recall includes 7-ounce packages of Kaytee Parakeet Honey Treat Value Packs and 3.5-ounce packages of Kaytee Parakeet Honey Sticks.
Parsley flake ingredients in these products were possibly contaminated by salmonella. No human illnesses have yet been reported, but company officials say that the product could possibly be harmful to birds if eaten or people if handled.
Customers who purchased the following products can return them to any Giant or Martin's food store for a full refund:
|UPC Code
|Best Before
|Kaytee Parakeet Honey Treat Value Pack
|12/4/2013 - 8/2/2014

Sew Sweet: Printable Paper Button Embellishments
Hi friends! Today I'm excited to share a new free download with you all: Printable Paper Button Embellishments! I created this freebie with Mother's Day in mind, but the design is definitely not holiday-specific, so I hope you will enjoy them year-round!
To give this printable a playful vibe I hand-painted each button design and then scanned it into my computer to create the finished printable file. I think the effect is really charming, and I hope you'll like it too.
There are two versions of this printable—one with "button hole" guides and one without. Both can be used to embellish gift packaging, to create garlands, make cupcake toppers, and more. I'm sure you will dream up a ton of great uses for them that I didn't even think of!
Basic button bow to:
- Download the Paper Button Embellishments PDF file (includes both versions). The download will begin immediately.
- Print onto heavy-weight card stock.
- Cut out by hand or with a 1.75" circle craft punch.
- Punch out button holes with a small circular hole punch.
- Attach to gifts, create garlands, adorn place settings, create cupcake toppers, etc.
Basic gift tag how to:
- Cut out blank tags by hand or with a 1.75" circle craft punch.
- Make a single hole at the top of your tags using a standard or small hole punch.
- String with twine, yarn, or ribbon and attach to your gifts.
- Alternately you can leave your tags hole-free and attach to cards, gifts, etc. using double-sided tape.
Button cupcake topper how to:
- Punch out or hand-cut your paper buttons. You will need two buttons per cupcake topper.
- Adhere a toothpick or wooden skewer to the back of a paper button using tape or glue. Be careful not to cover up button holes with the tape or stick.
- Once the stick is secured to your button, thread a small length of twine through the button hole so the ends come out the front.
- Tie twine into a bow and trim ends.
- For a more finished look, cover up the stick on the backside by attaching another paper button over it with double-sided tape or glue.
All photos are by Ez Pudewa (me). Special thanks to my friend Marichelle for running a test print for me since my printer is deceased.
Props: Berry baskets in aqua and white are from Anthropologie (purchased in store) | Porcelain Dip Bowls are from Target (purchased in store) | Seam Binding Ribbon and Baker's Twine (personal stash) – similar items available at Inspire Lovely.
*The necessary technical stuff: Please remember that this and all my freebies are for non-commercial use only. That means that you can print and use them for yourself or give them as a gift to a friend or loved one, but they shouldn't be sold, altered for resale, or redistributed in any other way. If you'd like to share this project with your blog readers, please link directly to this post and do not host the actual PDF file on your own site. Thanks so much for your support! Enjoy! xox Ez

Q: Why do most clouds have defined edges (or at least appear to have)?
A: The clouds with the most clearly defined edges are the billowing white cumulus clouds rising into a clear sky. These are formed by the condensation of water vapour as air expands and cools. This does not occur in a homogeneous layer but in a discrete parcel or column of warmer and less dense air rising from below through colder air above.
Although the cloud is cooled by expansion as it ascends, it continues to rise as long as its temperature is higher than that of the air surrounding it. Only when the air forming the cloud reaches a level at which the surrounding temperature is the same does it mix with that air and become fuzzy. Until then there is a sharp boundary between the different air masses.
A: Clouds may appear to be static ...

A man died in a small fire that broke out early yesterday in the kitchen of his rowhouse in Northeast Baltimore's Bel-Air Edison neighborhood, according to a city fire official.
The first fire victim of 2008 was found lying behind a refrigerator and was pronounced dead at the scene, said Chief Kevin Cartwright, a spokesman for the Baltimore Fire Department. Another man who also lived in the house said he had left before the fire started.

So you are happy! Nice spin doctoring.Originally Posted by Citizen
you remind me of some monty python guy chained to a dungeon talking about how cushy is his plight.
How do you win a presidential election?
(1) Energize your base. Get their turnout rates to be greater than the other side's. Get them todo ate more money and time.
(2) Get Independents on board.
This does nothing for #2' but whichever side lost this was going to get its base energized. That's not me saying hat this wasn't a big win for your side. The Congress is ever going to repeal Obamacare unless it replaces it with an equally miserable piece of crap. In fact, given the desire for one upsmanship ("I can give away way more of other people's money than you can"), it's pretty likely that Congress would only make it worse. Modern America runs on a kind of Brezhnev Doctrine: once government advances, it never retreats. So the best shot was for he Supreme Court to void th entire thing. I'm sure there will be other challenges, but probably none as fundamental. So Obamacare is here to stay. Smile. The Progressives made the only kind of "progress" they value. They made the government bigger, costlier, and more involved and in control of everybody's life.

The old Metropole
from F. Scott Fitzgerald – The Great Gatsby (Chapter IV) on Genius
The Hotel Metropole was the first hotel in New York City that had running water in every room. The old Metropole was located at 147 West 43rd Street just off of Times Square. It does seem a little odd calling it the 'old' Metropole in this story, considering it was built in 1912, and this story is set around the year 1920.
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit F. Scott Fitzgerald – The Great Gatsby (Chapter IV) and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page

Your are right, sunrisegirl. The Dow was indeed built in 1972, so I've taken that reference out of the entry. The writer must have been referring to a different venue or been off on his date. Thanks for commenting.
Great suggestions!

After the 2009 GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Distimo now will also be joining the Mobile Asia Congress, which is being held on November 16-18 in Hong Kong.
Distimo will be speaking during the App Planet Forum on Tuesday, 16th of November 2010 at this year's Mobile Asia Congress.
Vincent Hoogsteder will give a presentation and join the following panel discussion. The session is entitled App Planet Forum – The Economics of the App Marketplace:
The mathematics underpinning the current mobile apps market need a reset. There is too little revenue being delivered to too few players across the value chain to justify the hype, valuations and resources that are being thrown at the space. This session will examine the economics, the harsh realities that face mobile appdevelopers and the potential business models that will exist that can ensure a company getting a return on its investment.
The session will take place from 11:00 am to 12:30 am on Tuesday, 16th of November 2010. The full three day conference agenda is available here.
If you are interested to meet, please send us a note.Remco van den Elzen

Chaim Gross, the son of an Austrian woodcutter, was an early proponent of direct carving and single-handedly revived the art of wood carving at a time when his peers were working in stone. The subjects of many of his works are acrobats and dancers. Ballerina reflects Gross's interest in the carving traditions of tribal art, as well as his love and understanding of the often exotic hard woods that were his materials of choice. For many years, Gross taught sculpture at the Brooklyn Museum Art School, which was a part of the Museum from 1941 to 1985.

It is difficult to impress on incoming students the importance of information literacy skills and concepts because:
The purpose of the BiblioBouts Project was to design, develop, and deploy a web-based game that undergraduate students play at the same time they use online tools for resource discovery and management and evaluate the game's effectiveness for teaching students information literacy skills and concepts and improving their classroom performance.
Game Over!
Funding for BiblioBouts ended on September 30, 2012. Thus we are no longer able to support requests for new games. If you are currently a game owner, you will be able to access all data, statistics, and evaluation reports for ongoing and completed games but unable to create new games. We cannot grant game-owner status to new requesters. The demo BiblioBouts game is not available for the foreseeable future due to incompatibilities with Zotero. If you have questions, please contact us at email@example.com. Thanks to all who have participated in the BiblioBouts Project!

Here's a pic of a judo girl named Yawara from an obscure game in Japan called Seifuku Densetsu: Pretty Fighter. While not fully barefoot, she is draw nicely cute tomboy, and has nice toes to go with.ReplyDelete
Wow that martial artist is really cute. Thanks very much for her Shadowmandude. ^_^Delete
If we're not meant to love loli girls then why do the animators draw them so sexy? Cause seriously I find Gwen in a swimsuit so easy to fap to.ReplyDeleteReplies
Here's a fun fact: Gwen was originally supposed to be Ben's girlfriend, but got changed into his cousin later on. Which kind of explains the show's incest overtones.Delete
Makes sense to me, I guess.Delete
Ben and Gwen often act more like a couple than as cousins.Delete
