Top Guest StoriesADD A STORY
We booked well in advance and got a mid-ship upper level balcony before they sold out. It was definitely worth it. We were in stateroom #12221. The room was as depicted on the website and was nice. It was clean and had plenty of storage. You had enough room to walk around the bed and from the interior door to the balcony? that?s it and it?s all you really need. Cruise ship rooms aren?t large so don?t expect a ton of space. Your TV options are fairly limited but it?s to be expected. The bathroom layout was not well thought out. The designers definitely took the ?open concept? to the limit. I could maybe understand this layout for the new solo traveler rooms but otherwise, it totally eliminates any bathroom privacy (noise, smell, and otherwise) for the multi-passenger rooms. There is a curtain that separates the front door, shower stall, and toilet stall from the sink and rest of the room. The shower stall was a good size. I had no problems with the shower. Good water pressure and had my desired level of hot water. Now, I realize that not every married couple does things the same way but I personally don?t want my husband hearing my business in the bathroom. He?s the same way. (We resolved this problem by turning on the shower and TV. Do what you want but I don?t really like the idea of wasting water either.) For those of you without this problem, here?s something else to consider. If you order room service, neither of you can get a shower nor use the toilet during your food delivery unless you want the room service guy to see/hear you through the opaque plastic stalls. Doesn?t seem like it?d be a problem but a few times, one of us was in the actual bathroom (with a real door) in Alaska when room service was delivered. It?s something that you might overlook until it happens to you. The view from the balcony was wonderful. It was spacious enough for two people and had a table with two chairs. Looking down from our balcony, we could see into the balconies (no roof/ceiling) a few floors down so they basically had no privacy. Based on the cruise route, we chose a Starboard side room because we thought it?d have the best views during cruising and port days. That was incorrect but that?s all on me, not Norwegian. The ship almost always had better views at port on the Port side due to how they docked during our cruise (I don?t know if it?s the same every time). Both sides had similar views during cruising because they don?t hug the coast as close as I?d thought they might. We still enjoyed the STBD side. We did get a nice late evening view of Majorca when we were leaving. Not too far away, you could see the lights from the homes and lighthouses on the coast. FYI for all you first time balcony people? open interior front door + open balcony door = wind tunnel.

In RED 2, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses (played by Bruce Willis) reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing, next-generation lethal device that can change the balance of world power. Enrique Chediak, ASC chose Kodak film to capture all the action and hijinks of this motley crew.
Red 2 storms into theaters July 19. Check out some stills and the high-octane action-comedy trailer!
T.C. Christensen, ASC has made close to 40 feature films and countless shorts and documentaries over the last four decades. The cinematographer-director has been following his passion for filmmaking since high school, when he started shooting with a 16mm Bolex camera, and fostered that ambition with an "opportunity meets preparation" attitude.
Most recently, Christensen finished a labor of love called Ephraim's Rescue, which tells the true story of Ephraim Hanks, who like most teenage boys, only cares about himself, but finds his way in life, and eventually provides relief and rescue to the suffering Martin Handcart Company pioneers who were caught in Wyoming's early winter storms in the fall of 1856.
This picture means way more than a thousand words to us. Thanks to Director Marc Webb for the shout-out on Twitter today!
In case you didn't know, he's currently working on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with Director of Photography . He tweets one picture a day from the set. It's a great look at all that goes into creating movie magic. Be sure to follow @MarcW and @Kodak_ShootFilm on Twitter!
This weekend, just in time for Father's Day, the much-anticipated return of Superman comes to the big screen. It is the story of a man with two fathers, and two sets of histories. For this installment, Zack Snyder took the helm with cinematography duties performed by Amir Mokri.
In Man of Steel, a young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. He journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind. Henry Cavil plays the legendary hero.
Summer officially kicks into gear in Hollywood this month with some of the most-anticipated blockbuster movies beginning to hit screens. Here, at Kodak, we're not only excited to see what's in store for the crew on the Enterprise, and the adventures of Tonto and the Lone Ranger--but we're also proud to have worked with many of the filmmakers behind the movies, and supported them with Kodak products and services.
We'll be rolling out in-depth stories and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks around this summer's hottest films here on our website. We hope you'll enjoy learning more about the creative process, and experience for yourself the difference that film makes in the art and craft of moviemaking at a theater near you.

Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy has taken a public position against same-sex marriage. Mr. Cathy said this week that his privately owned company is "guilty as charged" in support of what he called the Biblical definition of the family unit.
The Atlanta-based chain opened its first location in a Georgia mall in 1967 and grown to more than 1,615 restaurants in 39 states and Washington, D.C., with annual sales over $4.1 billion, according to its website.
"We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that," Cathy told the Baptist Press, the news agency of the Southern Baptist Convention.
His comments to the Baptist Press, the news agency of the Southern Baptist Convention, unleashed a mix of criticism and support.
"He's taking a bold stand," said Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, which is based in Washington, D.C. "Chick-fil-A is a Bible-Based, Christian-based business who treats their employees well. They have been attacked in the past about their stand. But they refuse to budge on this matter, and I commend them for what they are doing."
Chick-fil-A released its own statement, saying it has a history of applying Biblically-based principles to its business, such as keeping its stores closed on Sundays.
"The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender," according to the statement.
"Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena," it said.
It is wonderful to see Christians standing up for God's Word. We have let the anti-God culture run over us far too long.

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote about 70 novels (the number varies based on publisher's combinations), mostly science fiction, but he is best known for his adventure stories about Tarzan. "Tarzan is legend, fable, adventure, bedtime story – a character known the world around", begins the introduction to The Teenage Tarzan (Galloway 2010, 7). The character of Tarzan so grabbed the popular imagination that, worldwide, films based on this character, named or unnamed, authorized or not, have exceeded triple digits. Burroughs also tried his hand at writing other types of fiction, westerns and contemporary fiction, for example, with less success. He was well known in his lifetime, but his reputation has been mostly popular …

Jacob Schlottke---Gone too soon, and the world is a little less bright because of it. RIP, brother.
One, two, Evans is coming for you...
Interesting! I know that PSU in the past have had some Hwt wrestlers go on to play Pro Football. Probably the best footballer was Mike Reid who wrestle a couple of years for PSU. Dave Joyner would be another. Now, I think it's almost impossible to try to do both sports. CS Bakersfield's Neal would be a super example in the past decade or so. Is he still playing for the Patriots?
There's a ton of them. Ray Lewis, 2 time state champion at 189 is one example. If you google this there is a website with an entire long list of NFL players who wrestled. DC
Riley Reiff won I think 4 or 5 titles in High school. He was drafted this year, 23rd overall (guess) out of Iowa. He definitely could have wrestled in college.
Carlton Haselrig for the win.
Tom Brady was a 4 time state champ in california and was a double fargo champ from 8th grade on.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
Usually the really good lineman were wrestlers, usually because they were too fat to play basketball. All of our best lineman at my high school wrestled at some point, we are pretty legendary in Kentucky (first ever 2A Team to go undefeated for example). Sometimes you will have a linebacker who wrestled. But one name that always stood out to me was the fact that Roddy White (Wide Reciever for the Atlanta Falcons) was a 2 time state champ in South Carolina.

text: Ask Palate Press Palate Press December 8, 2011 o 2 Comments This week we received the following question from Gregg in New York: Hello – I love the website and tasting articles. I have a question regarding wine storage units. I live in a small rental apartment. Do you have any suggestions for wine coolors (16 bottle to 50 bottles) in size, preferably thermoelectric? (I'd rather not deal with a compressor). Thank you! What followed was a series of emails among the members of the Editorial Board, "did we do a review of one of those last year?," "what kind do you have?", and "what is 'thermoelectric'?" The chatter was finally interrupted by one member asking: Folks, aren't we focusing a bit too much on the micro, rather than the macro? WHY does he need a wine cooler? WHAT wine is he storing? HOW LONG will he store it? Isn't this really an opportunity to talk about how the whole idea of a small wine cooler, other than as a glass-doored kitchen accessory, is really unnecessary? Are you buying wine to drink in the next two months? Put it on a shelf, then in the fridge anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours before, depending on what you're drinking. Are you buying wine to put up for a year or two, perhaps even four? A box in the back of a closet will work unless the apartment has no A/C or heat, right? Did you buy a case of '05 Margaux you're planning to pass on to your grandchildren? You don't want that in the kitchen wine fridge anyway. No insurance, too much light, opening and closing, etc. You might be better off, having dropped $50K on a case of wine, paying a monthly fee for a cubby in a storage facility. A wine cellar is a wonderful thing. It is a terrific place to put up great bottles of wine and cases of wine for decades. Little wine refrigerators started as an appliance to put in the space that your trash compactor has been taking up for years, even though nobody can remember the last time it worked. They are a nice way to say "welcome to my kitchen – I like wine." They are fun wine accessories. They are wine racks that keep the wine cool. But if they are being used for the wine you drink every week, opened when you buy wine and when you drink wine, your best long-term storage solution might be to put the everyday drinkers in the pretty little fridge, and the fine wines in a box in the back of a closet. So, what is "thermoelectric?" http://www.localvinacular.com Kristina Anderson Couldn't agree more with you, Palate Press. And like that at first, like most wine lovers, you overthought the question. We do that a lot, when it comes to wine :-). Because most wines are produced to be consumed within 1-2 years, most of us don't need a wine "cellar" but just storage. The box in the closet works, or, if you don't have the space, there are great options for wall-mounted shelving that are quite attractive.

The second September Session took place last Wednesday, featuring a performance by Shropshire-based experimental folk musician E.L. Heath. Heath's music blends traditional folk with contemporary sounds and is inspired by the rugged landscape of his home county and the Welsh wilderness.
Heath was accompanied by singer songwriter Rob Dunsford and Ben Holton (of epic45). Together they performed music from Heath's album Shropshire Hill Country and a song specially written for the session, 'Cwch Araf' ('Slow Boat), performed in Welsh. The trio also sampled the resonant sounds of the Edgbaston tunnel for an improvised sound piece.
Stream the session below, or on our Soundcloud page.

Additionally, Rob kindly played a couple of his songs:

VINTON, Iowa - Even 16 months since the appearance of Vinton changed forever, one tradition dating back decades is returning to normal.
The lights.
"It's the never-ending process this week to get the bugs out of everything," said Heidi Koopman just before flipping the switch to illuminate the 34,000-plus lights at the Kersten-Koopman Christmas light display just north of Vinton.
The lights welcome drivers from miles away and miles are the makeup of the work that goes into what Koopman calls "probably 300 to 400 pieces altogether".
Her husband, Dean Koopman, said they unravel about seven miles of electrical cords to power the lights, the levers and the seemingly endless machinery. Navitity scenes, animals, vintage cartoon characters and, yes, all 101 Dalmatians line the display.
Yet the Koopmans dealt with the same adversity as so many in this city of 5,200 people. Early morning. July 11, 2011. Winds that blew through the area hit more than 120 miles per hour before most people had the chance to wake up.
Everyone in Vinton who lived through it has a story. Heidi said bark from a fallen tree dropped through their damaged roof and onto Dean's pillow.
The damage is still seen today as mangled trees dot the city's streets. Most of the roof damage, especially in the city's older neighborhoods, has been fixed up. One positive is that not many people in town seem to be hurting for firewood as winter sets in.
"You look at all the trees and you can't see a tree that hasn't been touched by it," said Heidi.
The Koopmans have a ritual for starting the organization of the annual display. Labor Day is when it all starts. Only in 2011, they had to keep the wooden reindeer in the shed because of all the wood still on their acreage.
"There was no way I couldn't do it, it was the only thing normal to put the lights back up, the only thing I could think of," said Heidi. The 2011 version was a slimmed-down display because they simply didn't have the eleven weeks from Labor Day to Thanksgiving Day to put all of the items in the proper place.
Now the display is back, at "full power", the latest edition since the first display by Larry and Carolyn Kersten, Heidi's parents, in 1965. Another sign that Vinton is also returning from a storm that took 15 minutes to blow through and more than 15 months to rebuild.
"It's beautiful and it's Christmas and it shows everyone that, even though something bad can happen you're still making something good," said Heidi Koopman. "Still making something that can go on and on."

Not to start this conversation, but socialists/communists have been the most imperialistic nations throughout history. The Soviet Union was actually comprised of a Russian nation whose insatiable imperialistic goals led to a take over and total control of as many as 15 countries between the 1920's and 1990's.
The United States, has fought and won many wars and often stuck its hand in were it didnt belong, but in each and every case, peacefully relinquished control of conquered territory.
The US has used money and offers of protection (usually from true imperialistic socialist governments) in order to influence nations but i find it absurd when the US is called imperialist. America is possibly the only nation that has every existed to be the most powerful on Earth and not forcefully add foreign lands in an attempt to create an empire.
This is still true today. While we marched out of a conquered Iraq with nothing but what we took in with us, Russia took over Crimea, a part of the nation of Ukraine, with ideas of eventually taking over the whole country.
This game looks interesting, but its no more historically accurate than Bioshock or Call of Duty.
I apologize for my off topic rant. I just caught Grace say "The US....i mean Imperialist...Freudian slip..." and wasnt sure if she was kidding. Lord knows they arent teaching actual history in public schools these days....
I am definitely into checking CounterSpy out though. It seems cool.
When it cames out?
David was an absolutely boring speaker.
@Alecmrhand Eh. They're In San Fran. Whaterya gonna do?
There is a pervasive mindset these days that I won't go into because it's exhausting, but yeah... I hear you.
The game will look good on my Vita, though, and I'm pretty excited about it.

Double-Blinded Study to Compare Efficacy and Safety of Masitinib to Placebo in the Treatment of Grade II and III Non-Resectable Mast Cell Tumors in Dogs
Mast cell tumors (MCT) in dogs are very common, accounting for approximately 20% of all skin tumors in dogs. They can arise from any skin site on the body, and while they often appear small and somewhat insignificant, they can be a very serious form of cancer in the dog. Some MCT's are easily removed without development of further problems; however, others may lead to a life-threatening disease if not properly identified and treated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of masitinib in comparison to placebo in dogs with grade 2-3 non-resectable mast cell tumors, not previously treated by chemotherapy (other than corticosteroids) or radiotherapy. Masitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has been shown to improve long-term survival of dogs with non-resectable tumors.
- Dogs with a histological or cytological confirmation of cutaneous/subcutaneous MCT, Grade II or III (+/- lymph node involvement), where surgical excision is not feasible or has been declined will be treated.
- Adequate renal, hepatic and hematologic parameters.
- Patient must be > 1 year of age and must weigh > 6.9 kg
- MCT must be > 10mm, longest diameter (15 mm for lymph nodes) and accessible for biopsy
Financial Incentive:
- Free clinical staging; CBC, chemistry, urinalysis, fine needle aspirate of regional lymph node, +/- bone marrow aspirate (only if + node), abdominal ultrasound, thoracic
radiographs, and tumor biopsy.
- Free study medications (masitinib or placebo)
- Free recheck exams
- A total value of up to ~$9000, without the support of this clinical trial!

Globalization is a real thing. The NHL lockout has been such a mess that a news outlet in Taiwan put together an animated video summarizing the twists and turns in negotiations. The video was produced by Next Media Animation and features Sidney Crosby and two other players who look to be Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos and Maple Leafs winger Phil Kessel. Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr also make appearances in the video with Bettman being portrayed as the personification of evil. The piece, titled "NHL Lockout: Rollercoaster ride continues," begins with the players on a rollercoaster that is suddenly derailed by a giant iPhone — a reference to the NHL leaving Steve and Donald Fehr a voicemail to reject the NHLPA's latest offer. Bettman is also seen driving a Zamboni and wielding a vacuum as a weapon. Check it out in this bizarre, yet accurate, video detailing the lockout.

Weird Georgia: Great Balls of Fire! Part 1: Impact!
By Jim Miles
On the night of August 30, 1973, the most intense of wave of UFOs sighting in history started in southwest Georgia. UFOs reached Griffin on Sunday night, September 9, when Mrs. Hugh D. Beall called the Spalding County Sheriff's Office to report an "upside down cup and saucer-shaped object" hovering at treetop level above her house. It had gold, red, and green lights on the bottom that changed colors, and made a "funny" noise, pitched too low for a conventional aircraft A deputy dispatched to the scene radioed that he had seen "two red lights descending slowly to earth" which then disappeared.
At four p.m. on September 10, Ress Clanton, a retired textile worker known by his friends as Shorty, was sitting in a yard chair beneath the shade of a large magnolia tree beside his house in Orchard Hill, five miles south of Griffin. Clanton was contemplating supper while scanning a beautiful, sunny afternoon sky. He was focused on a small thunderhead crossing the face of the sun "when the thing dropped."
The "thing," variously described as having the size and shape of an egg or baseball, was bright gold in color, but its most curious aspect was that it did not plummet rapidly to earth, but appeared to be descending at a controlled rate of speed, floating, apparently under intelligent control. The object did not spin, it "just come down plumb straight…didn't come down too fast, just take its time," Clanton recalled
When tree branches blocked his view, Clanton jumped out of his chair and ran to a yard swing, which he climbed onto for a better look.
"I stood on the swing till it come down," Clanton said. "It didn't make no racket, now, when it hit the ground. When it hit the ground it stay there for a second, and directly white smoke raise up. It never did spread, it just stay together about as big as a nail keg, it just keep going up till it was a little wisp of a thing, and then one line of smoke come..."
The projectile vanished when it encountered the ground, apparently destroyed on impact. Once the white smoke dissipated, all that remained was a smoldering, scorched patch of lawn the size of a basketball, about a foot long and five inches deep. Strangely, there was no crater.
Clanton started for the point of impact, then wisely changed his mind and detoured to a neighbor's house. He enlisted another neighbor, a former deputy sheriff, before the three ventured to the scorched site, located 25 yards from his house, on the property of an adjacent warehouse, between grain elevators and the municipal water tower.
When the men kneeled down beside the lazily smoking spot, Clanton passed his hand three feet above the charred spot. The heat was so intense that it nearly burned his palm. Clanton unfolded his pocketknife and ran the blade through the soil for several seconds. When he extracted it, the metal was too hot to touch.
Clanton reported the incident to the Spalding County Sheriff's Office. Before a deputy arrived, a crowd gathered, patrons of a convenience store across the road, who had been attracted by the commotion. No one in the area had heard or seen any aircraft operating in the vicinity.
While deputies made an official report, a crew from local radio station WKEU arrived. They took it upon themselves to excavate the center of the seared ground to a depth of four inches. Most of the earth was deposited into a zinc washtub, but a fine gray ash from the hottest part of the spot was dumped onto an unfolded county map. None of the assembled multitude had an idea what the mysterious object could have been, but one of the radiomen thought to call Dr. O.E. Anderson, head of the Agronomy Department at the Georgia Experiment Station in Griffin.
Anderson waded through a crowd that was four to five people deep. Although he arrived at the scene two and a half hours after the incident, when Anderson placed his hands near ground zero, which was still smoldering, he estimated the temperature at that time to be 200 degrees. Presumably it would have been far hotter immediately after impact-Anderson later ventured an estimate of 300 degrees. He said a normal afternoon soil temperature for the area in summer would be 115-120 degrees.
The soil scientist took three samples-from the impact site, a spot two feet away, and a third site thirty feet distant. Anderson also collected the soil excavated by WKEU and departed to run a soil analysis, a reluctant scientific participant in a bizarre event. He estimated it would require three days to determine if anything unusual had been found.
Shorty Clanton had no need to await test results. "I tell you, I believe it to be a piece of brimstone from Heaven come down here to show people how He can burn the earth with it," he proclaimed.
By nightfall WKEU had received at least three reports of area UFOs.
"Something definitely elevated the temperature of the soil," Anderson soon informed the press. "The soil was unusually hot for just grass to be burning. It was hot down to a depth of at least a half an inch and for as much as an inch the soil was very, very hot." He also said a "glob about the size of your little finger of molten metal or slag, had remained on the ground. They are seeing some form of energy, but what?"
Anderson was also convinced of Clanton's sincerity, saying he "had the feeling he was telling us what he thought he had seen." After a second interview with Clanton, Anderson said, "he stuck to the same story. It is a credible story. I don't think he dreamed something up and went out and set a fire."

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services. Report an instance of misconduct »
Lockheed Martin
Groundwater Cleanup Violation (at the Burbank area of the San Fernando Valley Superfund Site)
Date: 05/02/2002 (Date of Fine)
Misconduct Type: Environment
Enforcement Agency: EPA
Contracting Party: EPA
Court Type: Administrative
Amount: $1,300,000
Disposition: Fine
Synopsis: Lockheed was fined by the EPA for failing to operate a pump and treating groundwater cleanup system at less than full capacity. "Beginning in June 2000 Lockheed failed to operate the treatment system at the 9,000 gallons per minute rate set forth in a 1992 cleanup agreement between Lockheed and the EPA. The large capacity treatment system was built to remove TCE and PCE, hazardous chemicals, from the groundwater at the Burbank Superfund site."

Repeated nightmares are bad dreams that recur frequently and involve the same theme.
Nightmares usually begin before the age of 10. They are considered a normal part of childhood, unless they significantly interfere with sleep or development.
Nightmares are more common in girls than in boys. They may continue into adulthood.
Repeated nightmares may also occur with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Nigthmares are different from night terrors.

Swanson handles the catchers and assists with hitting, base-running and bunting while also taking charge of the camps program.
He mentored and helped develop catcher Austin Rei, who earned All-Pac-12 honors in 2014, into one of the nation's top receivers behing the plate. Rei was also named to the All-Pac-12 Defensive team. Andrew Ely led the nation with 26 sacrifice hits and Braden Bishop led the Pac-12 with 21 stolen bases.
In his first full-season at Washington, he helped the Huskies' offense improve dramatically. Washington ended up ranked among the top half of Pac-12 schools in hitting (.279, 3rd), slugging percentage (.378, 4th), on base percentage (.366, 3rd), runs (324, 4th), hits (538, 3rd), runs batted in (298, 3rd), doubles (93, 4th), home runs (26, T3rd) and total bases (729, 4th).
The team's offensive improvement went a long way in helping the Huskies (41-17, 21-9) reach their first NCAA post-season appearance in 10 years and finish second in the Pac-12 Conference race. It was the UW's best finish since 2004 and the 21 Conference wins were the second most since the north and south merged in 1999. The Huskies also acheived their highest national rankings in team history, reaching fifth in Baseball America, Perfect Game and Collegiate Baseball.
He also played in integral role in coaching the defense which led the Pac-12 and ranked fifth nationally with .982 fielding percentage. Four Huskies were named to the All-Pac-12 Defensive team, including Defensive Player of the Year Erik Forgione.

Recipes: Loaded Bacon, Cheddar and Basil Waffles with Tomato Jam
Ever since I completed my breakfast challenge, I've been craving savory breakfasts. My rotation now includes scrambled eggs, green smoothies and breakfast sandwiches, but lately I've got my sights set on all of the savory waffles I've been seeing around the web. They're hearty, flavorful and could easily transition from breakfast to brunch to dinner with the addition of bacon, fried eggs and cheese.
This waffle tastes like summertime. It's packed with basil, bacon and cheddar cheese and topped with a fresh and easy tomato jam. With all the basil and tomatoes I've got growing in my garden, I think these waffles may become a part of my regular recipe rotation this summer.
Loaded Bacon, Cheddar and Basil Waffles with Tomato Jam
Save time by prepping the tomato jam first and preparing the waffles while the tomato jam cooks!
2 cups Original Bisquick mix
1 1/3 cups milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 strips of bacon, crisp cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1 recipe Tomato Jam (see below)
Additional fresh basil, if desired
Fried eggs, if desired
Heat waffle iron; spray lightly with cooking spray.
Stir together Bisquick, milk, egg and olive oil until combined; fold in the bacon, cheese and basil.
Pour some of the batter in the center of the hot waffle iron; I used 1/2 cup batter per waffle, but the amount of batter will vary by maker. Close lid of waffle iron.
Bake about 3 to 4 minutes or until steaming stops and waffle is deep golden brown. Carefully remove waffle.Repeat with remaining batter. Top each serving with some of the Tomato Jam. If desired, top with additional fresh basil and a fried egg.
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes | Servings: 6
Tomato Jam
6 medium plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
1 to 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine all ingredients together in large skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce to simmer. Simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally.
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes | Makes: 1 cup

LG Display lays claim to world's first Quad HD smartphone LCD
Panel maker says its new 5.5-inch panel sports a 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution featuring 538 pixels per inch.
LG Display might have just made that full HD screen on your smartphone look not so sharp.
The South Korean LCD panel maker on Tuesday unveiled what it calls the world's first Quad HD (2,560x1,440-pixel resolution) smartphone display. Measuring 5.5 inches long and 1.21 millimeters thick, the panel sports 538 pixels per inch, LG Display said.
LG Display claims the new panel has four times more pixels than 1,280X720 HD displays, producing Blu-ray-like video with clearer images and sharper contrast than today's panels.
"LG Display, which pioneered the high resolution mobile market with introduction of the world's first Full HD smartphone panel in 2012, again opens new possibilities with the successful application of QHD technology," Byeong-koo Kim, the head of LG Display's IT and Mobile Development Group, said in a statement. "With this breakthrough, LG Display will continue to raise new standards for mobile resolution and lead the mobile display market."
LG Display did not indicate when consumers might expect to see the new screens on smartphones or which handset makers were lined up to buy the screens.

Have you ever thought about making vegetable dyed Easter eggs? I'm trying to make a move away from synthetic food dyes and wanted to use natural, homemade dyes this year.

Macs make automated backup childishly easy: simply plug in an external hard drive and OS X will ask whether you want to use it as a Time Machine disk. Say yes, and you'll then get fully-automatic, hourly, versioned backups without doing anything further.
Unplug it to take your MacBook out & about, and it will catch up as soon as you return and plug it back in. Even easier, get a Time Capsule, and those backups take place over wifi, so you don't even have to connect a drive.
But I'm a belt-and-braces chap. I like multiple backups, and I like one of those backups to be off-site. That way, if the house burns down, or a burglar takes both my Macs and my backup drives, I still have access to my data. Which is where online backup services come into play. Think of them as your backup of last resort.
iCloud, covered in my cloud storage roundup last week, already backs up quite a lot of your data – but nothing like all of it. The services covered here are ones that backup either your entire Mac, or a large proportion of it …
So, how do online backup services work? You download an app to your Mac that creates a backup of your machine (caveat in a moment) on a remote server. That initial backup will take quite some time: days or weeks. The reason is that while you may have a lightning-fast broadband connection, the speed quoted is for downloads. Upload speeds are typically 10-20 times slower.
But once the backup finally completes, the backup app sits quietly in the background keeping it updated. Every time you create, change or delete a file, the change is mirrored on the backup server. Since it's online, it does this anytime you have an Internet connection, which means it works as well when you're in a hotel on the far side of the world as it does when you're at home.
I mentioned a caveat: most services do not backup your entire drive, only the data files. So you'll get back your photos, music and documents, but usually not your apps, preferences, settings and so on. There are a few services that give you the option to backup everything, and I'll mention those as we get to them. Note too that many services don't support multiple drives: if you have more than one drive in your Mac, only the main one gets backed-up. You can see below the exceptions.
As with cloud storage, there are a huge number of competing services, and my view is that you are safest with the major players. Small startups come and go all the time; not such a problem if you bought a $10 accessory from them a year ago, rather a bigger problem if your backup disappears along with the company. I'm thus again focusing on the best-known companies: Backblaze, Bitcasa, Carbonite, CrashPlan and Mozy.
Backblaze is one of the best-known services out there. It focuses purely on backing-up a single machine: there are no file-sync features, and no public sharing of files. It backups your entire Mac, the software is easy to use and upload speed is decent. If the worst does happen, and you need to restore a trashed, lost or stolen Mac, there is the (paid) option of having your backup sent to you on an external drive rather than having to wait for everything to download.
Cost: $50/year
Capacity: Unlimited
Supports multiple drives: Yes
Update (24th Oct 2014): Bitcasa has now ended its unlimited backup service.
Some readers wondered why I didn't include Bitcasa in my cloud storage roundup. The reason is because although it primarily presents itself as a cloud storage service, it offers a mirroring option that makes it ideal for backup, hence including it here instead. Just right-click on the top-level folder you want to backup and select the mirror to Bitcasa option.
Bitcasa is one of the most secure service available, offering AES-256 bit encryption. It is also probably the most trustworthy when it says you can store unlimited data. 'Unlimited' is generally shorthand for 'see small-print for details', but what Bitcasa does is rather clever. The company estimates that most people have no more than 25GB of unique content on their computers, the rest – music, movies, etc – being content held in common with other people. For that data, Bitcasa stores only one copy of the file, with the rest of our backups containing a pointer to it. That means faster initial uploads. Neat.
Cost: $99/year
Capacity: Unlimited
Supports multiple drives: Yes
I'm including Carbonite because it's one of the best-known services, but it's unfortunately not one I would recommend. It's predominantly a Windows service, with limited options for Mac users (no option for multiple drives even at extra cost, for example). Last time I used it – admittedly a couple of years ago – the Mac app also started eating CPU cycles for breakfast.
Although the service claims to offer unlimited capacity, it throttles upload bandwidth after the first 35GB, so if you have a lot of data, that initial upload takes a very long time. On the plus side, there is a $229 option for 250GB across unlimited computers that may be a good deal for some families and small businesses.
Cost: $60/year
Capacity: Unlimited (but see above)
Supports multiple drives: No
I've been using CrashPlan myself for a couple of years. One of the key reasons for choosing it is that it genuinely allows you to backup your entire machine, system files and applications included. Ok, you'll probably never want to recover apps that way, but I can be confident all my settings and preferences are available in my cloud backup as well as my local ones.
I also serve as a good test of that 'unlimited' claim: with two 1TB drives in my Mac, totalling around 1.4TB of data, the initial backup took a few weeks, but it all got there and with no visible throttling. Like most services, it doesn't upload everything as standard, but unlike most you can tick boxes to make it do so. A menubar mini-app lets you track backup status, while you open up the main app to take a more detailed look or change settings. CrashPlan uses CPU cycles intelligently, using more of them when your Mac is idle and fewer when it's in use. You can also pause upload if you want to maximise your upload bandwidth for something else.
Cost: $60/year
Capacity: Unlimited
Supports multiple drives: Yes
Mozy was one of the earliest online backup services, but has now fallen somewhat behind the curve, no longer offering unlimited capacity and with no support for multiple drives. Instead, you have to choose between 50GB on one computer for $66/year ($5.99/month with one month free for annual payment) or 125GB on up to three computers for $110/year. The website looks a bit 2005 too!
However, it can be a good deal if you want to protect more than one Mac and don't have more than 125GB of data in total. There are also options for adding additional capacity and extra computers. Mozy also supports file-syncing between computers through its public beta of Mozy Stash (a free upgrade for any paid account), so it's worth looking at for multiple Mac owners.
Cost: $66/year
Capacity: 50GB (or 125GB for $110)
Supports multiple drives: No
There are of course many more services out there. Of the big ones covered here, Backblaze offers the best deal, at $50/year for unlimited capacity and with support for multiple drives. At $60/year, CrashPlan costs a little more, but has served me well. Bitcasa will probably give you the quickest initial upload and highest security, if you're willing to pay a little more for it ($99).

Great article!
Any particular reason why you did not cover Arq Backup (http://www.haystacksoftware.com/arq/)?
It works pretty well, is very fast and does not cost a bomb (a single computer license is $39.99) but needs an Amazon Web Services account. It has the big advantage of using a proven cloud storage technology (Amazon S3/Amazon Glacier) and stores the files in an open format so that even if Arq shuts down, you still have access to your data. I do not know if any of the services you have mentioned has this kind of transparent de-coupling between the cloud storage provider and the service itself.
Actually Arq backups ARE encoded. It uses a two way hash system. But I can't visually see e files on my Glacier account or on S3 of what I uploaded with Arq
they have to do it that way, else you'd be high in the amazon transactions fees for each little file. So they package them up, and keep track of individual files, in each 'pack'. Also Arq will encrypt your files before sending to S3/Glacier. Works very well.
I tried to say this in your last post, but Bitcasa can be used for so much more than just a 'back-up'. It can literally replace your HD on your computer. The Bitcasa drive gets mounted to your desktop, just like an external. I've moved all my music, movies, and photos to my infinite drive with no loss of speed in iTunes and iPhoto. It's a wonderful service.
I signed up for a free account to try Bitcasa and the only folder that it will allow me to backup or mirror is my user folder. Nothing else. I'm not sure how one replaces their HD with so much info missing in a backup. Do you get access to the entire HD for backup if you have a paid plan or still just your user folder?
Also wanted to mention, in regards to backblaze, not EVERYTHING is copied over to the "cloud". I had a particular issue arise and needed to replace a folder from an old backup. Problem was the folder was inside the System folder, and backblaze does not backup the System or Library folders. Soooooo, assed out. :(
CrashPlan Pro is now the default best option. Plus I have it on good word from a "source" that there is a certain company that you tend to write about on this site often that uses CrashPlan exclusively. If its good for them then I'm all in.
Nice write-up — I have recently switched from Mozy to CrashPlan, so I was glad to hear someone else to vouch for my new service of choice. I think the iOS app they make for accessing your files on-the-go is slightly nicer than Mozy's as well.
There's a small typo you may want to correct; in the second paragraph of the CrashPlan section, it says 1.4GB when it should say 1.4TB.
What you didn't mention that makes CrashPlan stand even further ahead of the pack, in my opinion, is that they have a Family plan at $150/year with unlimited storage for up to 10 computers. If you have more than one computer, this makes CrashPlan way better than the other services.
TimeMachine, IMHO, sucks — even if you have a TimeCapsule, it doesn't work over the internet, even if you set up a VPN server. They need to find a way to make TimeMachine work with TimeCapsules over the internet. Also — powernap is supposed to enable my Mac to automatically backup to the time capsule when I bring it in range of my Wifi LAN — even if the mac is asleep and never wakes up…well, this doesn't actually work either, for me anyway. Anyone else have any thoughts or similar experiences?
I think time machine works, and works very well, but you are right, it wasn't designed to work over the internet. But like it is mentioned in the article, once you get back to your local network (home), it will backup where it left off. Also I've found the time capsule to be very very fast at restores and backups on my local network. I use it for primary backups, and just like the author of the article, use something else for much much slower off-site backups. (I use Arq via Amazon S3 and Glacier).
Here's my issue though — when I bring my mac laptop home, powernap is supposed to kick off time machine without me even having to "open the lid" of my rMBP to my time capsule — this does *not* work, and nothing I've tried to get this to work has been successful. I wouldn't hate on TM as much as I do if powernap actually worked how it was supposed to. It's possible I'm totally misunderstanding the functionality and powernap actually isn't capable of doing what I think it can do though — any thoughts? I've heard some people say that powernap TM backups only work with local drives and not time capsules / os x server running TM server…is this really the case?
EDIT: I see why it doesn't work now (side note: wish I could edit my other comment, 9t5Mac get a better comment system :D) TM backups with powernap only work when the notebook is plugged in to an AC power adapter – it won't work on battery alone. Even though if it's NOT sleeping, TM works just fine on battery alone. This makes no sense. I don't see why they just can't allow it unless you're at like 30% battery…
Well, if everything else fails and you think that all your data has gone for good, you should try to give the worlds biggest backup service provider a short call. There's a good chance that they still have your files safely stored somewhere. And the best thing: It's completely free of charge. Thank you NSA ;-)
We're on Crash Plan's Family plan. Each of our three computers plus iDevices are back-up to CrashPlan on one account for $150/year — or as low as $429 for 4 years (under $9/month!) – and that's for all your computers – unlimited storage. Check out pricing here: http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/compare.html
Very happy with Crashplan!
Joe, How do you backup an iDevice to CP?
Bitcasa has gives "highest security" – surely, you're joking! With no client-side encryption, your data is basically stored in the open. With Backblaze and Arq (I haven't tried other services, so I can't comment on them) you have the option to encrypt data as it's leaving your computer.
umm Bitcasa does client-side encryption. so you are wrong.
Crashplan is a great product. They have had a 10% off promo on their faq site forever to entice mozy customers to switch over. You don't actually have to prove you had mozy to use it: http://www.crashplan.com/mozyonover
I ve been using http://www.elidentity.com which backs up my data all in the swiss mountains in bunkers with full encryption. It's a bit pricy but I value my that my data remains mine.
One more very cool thing about CrashPlan is that if you have two sites, or a friend elsewhere, for no extra cost (and in fact it works with their 100% free plan) you can have backups go offsite that way rather than to their cloud servers. I have a repository drive attached to my computer at my office and another one at my house, and backups go in both directions (as well as from laptops). Way way easier to seed a backup that way, too – copy to hard drive, bring to other location, plug into computer, keep backing up.
Have you actually tried Bitcasa? Half the time the upload doesn't work. This is a program with a lot of potential, but not very good at the moment.
FYI Bitcasa have changed their pricing structure. Infinite is now $999 a year.
Thank you for the article and all the comments, extremely helpful. I have used carbonite since 2011 and simply can't deal with the CPU usage and the Mac file problems. Mac is a sidebar with them sadly since a good service but I presume much better on a PC. Now Maverick problems with new pages files etc. Finally decided enough and will go to Crashplan for a year and see how that works out. Like you I have multiple back ups at all times. Anyone who doesn't is either foolish or simply has nothing significant on their machine. Myself I have valuable records and photos dating back almost 2 decades now. Not having good and multiple backups is not an option.
George in NY
Bitcasa turns out not to work so well. It only works from an administrative account and even if you have the admin account running, the "Drive" does not show up for your other accounts. I won't be renewing.
Well, this SUCKS! I've never used any sort of backup for my mac and now I'm screwed. I can't use one now because my hard drive is full; so I can't download any more software. I never used Time Machine because I'm pretty computer illiterate. I've only ever performed very basic functions on my computer (surfing the net, Facebook etc.) so I didn't want to get into something I didn't understand. I just purchased a 1TB external hard drive and I've transferred my entire IPhoto library to it. However, I'm terrified to delete anything from my computer lest the external hard drive fail. Is there anything that I can do to rectify this problem without losing all of my stuff? I'm afraid that my only option is a gigantic leap of faith in deleting stuff I've transferred and hoping my E.H. doesn't fail me. HELP!

Just hours after being crowned America's Favorite Dancer, Season 7 champ Lauren Froderman opened up on a press call about her experience on So You Think You Can Dance. The 18-year-old was still in shock, very appreciative, and she's looking forward to the tour.
Lauren received great compliments throughout the season, but the one that stuck with her the most was judge Mia Michaels' comment on Wednesday night's show. "The most memorable comment that will stick with me forever is when Mia Michaels said if she was still dancing she'd want to dance like me. I look up to her – the whole dance community looks up to her – and it means so much to me."
In the first-ever all-star season, Lauren said that dancing with all-stars "really pushed us to work even harder because they really brought something new to the table, and we were still trying to figure out how dancing on TV works. They made our lives easier and harder at the same time. I'm grateful." What was the best advice she got from an all-star? "The ones who told me to be confident in myself and not think about it being a competition. I was always so nervous for ballroom because it's not my style, and Pasha would always tell me to be confident and that I knew the steps and i just needed to be in character and let go. Sometimes you hold back because you're scared but you need to just let go."
During the first few weeks of Season 7, Lauren got some criticism about smiling too much and dancing like a competition dancer. How was she able to overcome that so well? "I was raised as a competition dancer and acknowledging the audience is what we were trained to do. Being on the show made me realize it's not all about the audience. It's about getting into the character…and having the audience want to come in instead of trying to pull them in. The all-stars are definitely a big help on how my performance improved. They were always the best support for us contestants."
The last girl standing didn't expect she was going to win. Lauren shared, "I was completely shocked. I really, really thought it would be Kent. The whole room is filled with teenage girls screaming for Kent. He gets a ridiculous amount of fan mail. I am so honored and humbled that it was me. I never dreamed it was going to be me." Lauren explained her mindset throughout the competition, saying "I wanted to stay as long as I possibly could and I wanted to learn and I wanted to grow. I wanted to be with these new friends and this new family that I made. I don't think there was a moment where I thought I would win, but there were moments where I wanted to stay."
After Cat Deeley announced that Lauren is America's Favorite Dancer, it was so loud in the studio she didn't get a chance to say anything. "I was just so blown away; I did not expect to win. The fact that so many people believed in me and supported me was just so crazy. The feeling that knowing people are very happy for you and they don't even know you and are voting for you is so crazy. I feel so blessed and so humbled and nothing will replace the feeling of happiness I felt last night."
What's next for the recent high school grad? Of course she will be heading out on the 40-city tour this fall. After that, Lauren "would like to go into acting and get an acting coach. I've been singing for the past two years and want to keep training in that. I want to be as versatile as possible because I'd like to book jobs and work in movies and TV. Especially right now while I'm still young and have a ton of energy."
America's Favorite Dancer would like to say, "Thank you and I'm just so grateful. I'm just so honored to be America's Favorite Dancer and just to inspire people. It touches me to be able to experience this and have a positive impact on somebody's life. I'm just really grateful."

Endangered muriqui monkeys in Brazil full of surprisesBy Elizabeth Devitt, special to mongabay.com
November 26, 2012
Apparent recovery of endangered muriqui monkeys in Brazil may not tell the whole story
But numbers don't tell the whole story, according to anthropologist Karen Strier and theoretical ecologist Anthony Ives of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The pair analyzed 28 years of data on the demographics of the muriquis, one of the longest studies of its kind. They found surprising patterns about birth and death rates, sex ratios, and even how often the monkeys venture out of their trees. These findings raise questions about the muriquis' long-term survival and how best to protect them, the scientists wrote in the Sept 17 issue of PLoS ONE.

Possamai/Universidade Federal de Espirito Santo
Usually, when populations increase and resources become limited, females don't produce as many offspring, said Ives in an interview with mongabay.com. But muriqui females have had more babies, caused by shorter time spans between births.
In another surprising result, more muriqui males in their prime died as the population grew. Most growing populations have higher mortality rates for younger and older males who can't compete as well. "But the opposite happened with the muriquis," Ives said.
Their sex ratio switched, too. At the beginning of the study, two-thirds of the muriquis were female; at the end, two-thirds were male. Other population studies have shown similar reversals, Strier said. Although the reason isn't clear, the consequences to an endangered population are obvious: fewer females produce a smaller population.
Beyond the statistical surprises, the muriquis also changed their behavior. Typically arboreal, the monkeys started spending more time on the ground. Strier thinks this vertical move might have driven the unexpected increases in fertility and mortality rates. Foraging at ground level may provide more nutritious food, enabling healthier females to reproduce more quickly. Coming down from the trees also may expose more male monkeys to dangerous predators, she said.
The study shows that even though the population is growing, it isn't safe, Strier told mongabay.com. "It's not just numbers, it's dynamics," she said.
"The work is remarkable," said Anthony Rylands, deputy chair of the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group in Arlington, Va. "Ideally, you'd like to compare to similar studies, and there really aren't any."
A new study reports increasing use of the ground among a population of the otherwise arboreal northern muriqui monkeys in Brazil. Researchers led by University of Wisconsin–Madison anthropologist Karen Strier believe the behavioral innovation may underlie demographic changes in the population over the past 30 years, including unexpected increases in both fertility and mortality. Photo credit: Karen Strier, University of Wisconsin–Madison
Strier plans to continue monitoring the muriquis, with a focus on why the females are now more fertile. The key to their future is expanding their forest range to support the population growth, she said. Corridors to link their Atlantic Forest fragments have been under development for several years.
What's more, the muriqui is a candidate to become the mascot for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Their celebrity status, perhaps, could help their conservation.

Police are on scene of the New Mexico Educator's Credit Union in Albuquerque.
They say they Tasered a suspected bank robber in the parking lot of the credit union near Coors and Sequioa.
James Charles Mollohan, 35, of Albuquerque, was arrested in connection with the robbery.
According to a witness, the suspect leaned over the counter demanding money from the teller, the teller gave him an undisclosed amount of money and then he ran out the door.
We're told the teller called police when she thought she recognized the attempted robber from another robbery incident.
The FBI is handling the investigation. The credit union is shut down pending the investigation.
He's expected to appear in federal court in Albuquerque on Monday.
Police won't say if Mollohan is the same man who robbed several banks in the area this week.

Doi Khun Tan National Park
Travel Guide
Doi Khun Tan National Park was designated at the 10th national park in Thailand on February 14, 1975. It stretches over 255 square km in both Lamphun and Lampang provinces. Its main point of entry is via the Khun Tan Train station in Lamphun Province.
There are two main walks, one to the Doi Khun Tan peak which is well worth doing and the other a looping trail to a small waterfall which isn't really worth the effort to reach.
The park topography has mixed deciduous forest (formerly teak) and plentiful bamboo at the lowest levels, in the mid levels there is more moist evergreen and considerable quantities of pine forest, while the highest points are hardwood.
Wildlife is pretty rare within the park - you're more likely to see insects and creepie-crawlies than any mammals, nor many birds either. It is a pleasant place to walk however, and only a moderate degree of fitness is required.
You may also run into armed poachers within the park, in which case you're best to make your presence known and they'll most likely disappear into the forest before you even get to where they are.
Approaching poachers asking them what they have hunted today is not at all a wise thing to do. If you do see poachers, be sure to report them to the park staff.

More information
The best thing about this park is its easy access -- you get off the train and you're there. The tracks we wandered weren't all that hard -- even for people as out of shape as us. While there are a couple of good viewpoints, they are a bit lacking in the wow factor. That said, if you're not overly fussed about the wow factor, rest assured you won't come across any other foreign tourist here!
