ROCKFORD - The price to fill up your car is going down, leaving your wallets lined with a little extra holiday cash.
The average price for gasoline in the Forest City is $3.20/gal, down five cents from last week. While most people prefer snowy weather stays away, it's actually helping to lower prices.
"Under conditions like that, consumer demand usually declines and that often results in a nominal decrease in retail gas prices" says Gregg Laskoski, Senior Petroleum Analyst at GasBuddy.com.
Compared to this time last year, gas prices are currently 18 cents per gallon lower.

Choosing a Great Treadmill: Of course, this was all just the most basic information about treadmills. Now how are you supposed to make a decision between all of them that are available? Many people start their search with consideration of price. This is important because treadmills can get very expensive. But it's important to realize that price isn't everything. Consider the durability and functionality first, and then come to the price.A main consideration when you're ready to buy a treadmill is how large the machine is. Be sure to think about where you will be putting the unit and how much space is available there. Also keep in mind that many can be folded up to make storage easier and less obtrusive. Another thing to think about will be the kind of motor that is used with a particular model. A larger and more powerful motor will end up lasting longer and providing more consistency. To gauge your engine, first consider peak duty and continuous duty rating. Get a 1.5 continuous duty horsepower or higher if your weight is more than 185 pounds.You also of course want to see the other measurements and specifications for the treadmill that you will be purchasing. Get a thick size deck at least 3/4 inches thick, for comfort of the feet and legs. The length of the treadmill should be about 48 inches or longer, and the width should be at least 17 inches. Next check the shock absorption. The treadmill's suspension must be directly under the walking deck to provide effective cushioning for the legs, feet and back. Foam or rubber is used for the padding. Foam can be softer and more comfortable than rubber, but it requires more time to return to its original size after impact, where rubber can recover to full thickness instantly and is a better shock absorbent.Finally, don't forget to consider all of the extra features of your treadmill. Features can include preset exercise programs, levels of inclination and different degrees of monitoring and displays. Of course, the more of these features and other advanced specifications that you have on your machine, the more money you will probably have to spend.

text:
If you're looking for the true Google experience, obviously you can't look past a Nexus device. While Google allows any manufacturer eligibility to produce each Nexus, the ultimate goal is pure Google and pure power. While I've never had anything against any prior Nexus device, Samsung has done the Galaxy Nexus oh so right. Obviously, the ability to uninstall or disable almost every application is a huge plus. The Galaxy Nexus offers this whereas the Razr Maxx comes with quite a bit of bloatware that you cannot uninstall (without the aid of root).
Responsiveness and overall speed between the two devices is very similar. The touch screen and interaction with the OS and applications is very smooth and immediate. The Galaxy Nexus launched with Ice Cream Sandwich, the newest version of Android, so the interface looks more modern. The Razr Maxx will be getting this update though, so don't let that sway your decision. Even if a little bit of wait is involved, ICS is well worth it.
Battery Life and Feel
The Razr Maxx's top selling point is the battery life, and for good reason. With moderate use, I saw right around 16 hours of battery life. My Galaxy Nexus is lucky to see 6 hours with similar use. Heavier use on the Maxx taxed the battery a bit more; a lot of web browsing, music/video streaming, and GPS usage brought it down to around 10 hours. Still, nothing to laugh at, especially compared to my Nexus which lasts around 3 hours under such usage.
Not to throw another phone into the mix (but I will!), the battery upgrade given to the Razr Maxx gives it a much better feel than the original Droid Razr as well. Gone is the feeling of a cheap, thin remote; present is the feeling of a smartphone. As much as they advertise how durable the Razr and Razr Maxx are, though, I wouldn't dare carry them (or the Galaxy Nexus) around naked. Seidio is still my protective case of choice, and I was sure to have one for my Nexus.
The Little Things
In the category of "things that are cool, but don't really matter" the Nexus has the sweetest stock bootup animation I've seen on any device. The scrolling colors truly show off this screen's range and depth. The Razr Maxx does offer a removable microSD card, where the GNex does not. As long as you've got a data connection of some sort or just a USB cable, you should be fine without it. The GNex also uses a micro SIM whereas the Maxx uses its bigger brother. Again, not an issue, unless you plan on taking your SIM out often to play with its shiny backside.
The best suggestion that I can offer to everyone is to get thee to a Verizon store and check out both devices. Feel them in your hands, experience their abilities, and decide for yourself which device is best for you. I can't make this decision for you because they're both great devices… just know that I went with the Galaxy Nexus, even when swapping from another Motorola device.

Luanda — The secretary of State for of Culture, Cornélio Caley, said Friday in Luanda that the youths might push Angola up to higher positions within the context of the nations.
The official was speaking at the opening of the two-day 7th meeting of cadres of the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the World (Tocoista) being attended by about 500 delegates.
However, Cornélio Caley said that in order for these levels to be attained, there is need for a belief in a better future, a wish the church has been building among the faithful.
The event is discussing such topics as the socio-political profile of leader of the church, prophet Simão Gonçalves Toco, reflection on the process of creation of the higher education under the Church, structuring axis and guidelines of the Government's national
plan of training of cadres for the 2013-2017 period and other matters.
The meeting is being lectured by local and foreign experts.

Smooth shifting, linear power band, but would like some more umph. it currently has a yz426 pipe on it. what mods will really bring it alive? I was thinking over the winter to do a yz450 exhaust cam, was contemplating getting a yz426 aftermarket pipe (i.e. fmf or a t-4) not sure how much more power that would be than the current yz pipe on the bike. Anything else to help bring this bike to life? And honestly will it ever have the power the 450 had? Thanks for your input guys.
I have got a Hybrid yz/wr motor and I have tried everything with some good sucess and some bad! From personal experience the 450 cam is Not Quite right. If you can afford it, the hotcams (no affiliation) cams specifically for the 426 in the yz is really good
more power, easy starting and no stalling when brake sliding due to the auto decomp
The bk mod
Make sure you have this matching carb with the red hot start button
The last option is the Vortex ignition I am friends with the owner of vortex and he has given me one of these that is tuned for the wr lighting coil/stator and it has a max power tune and a max tourque setting awesome
These three mods will give you all you need to give the bike all you can without loosing reliability
I have had Standard yz pipe, Titanium DSP pipe, FMF and also currently running a CRD pipe the power is un-noticable between all of the aftermarket pipes, just keep the yz its neat, works ok and not overly loud.
I also have mixed the yz and wr grearboxes to make a custom box 1st wr 2nd yz 3rd yz 4th yz & 5th wr (this was popular with the european enduro guys when the bike came out)
I have run the wr box and yz box, I have found the yz to last the longest and be the most useable in the woods where as the wr box is a bit better for the open stuff. Be aware these bikes are suseptable to fifth gear not holding due to loading up the gear and not reving it out dont labour the bike in fifth keep it on the boil and the gearbox will last
I have done heaps of work on these motors and have come accross all of the major problems that can be encountered with them, great bikes if you know there limitations and more help pm me
Build it and you will ride

Intel (INTC) Lowers Fourth Quarter Guidance
The hits just keep on coming. Intel lowered their fourth quarter guidance today after the close. It now expects revenue of $9B vs. $10.36B est. The company's previous expectations were $10.1-10.9B.
Revenue is being affected by significantly weaker than expected demand in all geographies and market segments. In addition, the PC supply chain is aggressively reducing component inventories.
Gross margin guidance also goes to 55% from 59% previously. They will also cut R&D and MG&A spending from $2.9B to $2.8B. They will not do the previously scheduled December 4th update call and will observe a quiet period till January 15, 2009.
With Best Buy and Intel today, it's obvious people are not spending on discretionary consumer electronics and PCs. The new guidance is a 16% decline y/y in revenue. This is stunning as the company is launching their new CPU this month, code-named Nehalem, with amazing performance increases.

Stats on TripAdvisor's integration with Facebook Login and OpenGraph
Facebook has featured TripAdvisor in their latest case study, which demonstrates how a well-integrated OpenGraph application can deliver solid social results: in this case, a 27% increase in engagement for Facebook users on TripAdvisor itself.
TripAdvisor has integrated all its products with Facebook Login, the first step to being able to connect with each user's full social graph. By allowing Facebook users to fuse their accounts, TripAdvisor gains access to said user's friends, interest and related data available via OpenGraph.
TripAdvisor connects this OpenGraph data into its canvas app, which encourages travelers to identify cities they've visited and want to go to.
TripAdvisor can then provide a much richer dataset to the user, as the user can see what cities friends have visited, what places they have stayed in, and what reviews they have left.
Friends' ratings, check-ins, and likes are also easily available for comparison. Friends can compare their results with each other, delivering a more useful experience all around.
Within the app, users can create travel maps, rate attractions, earn badges and compare/compete with friends. Each of these actions produces a related piece of content on Facebook, which can boost the app's viral exposure.
Of course, each of these actions also creates a seamless and highly compelling way to boost viral exposure via paid advertising – a rich set of actions to spend against in order to deliver the desired result.
Here's a breakdown of the stats seen by the TripAdvisor integration of OpenGraph via Facebook login:
- 1 in 3 new reviews come from a user logged in via Facebook login.
- 27% increase in engagement for those users linked via Facebook login – likely due to interaction with friends.
- Facebook users contribute 2x more content than non-Facebook connected users.
- TripAdvisor users have published over 1 billion OpenGraph stories.
By layering the social aspect on top of the already-existing user information, the product becomes more useful across the board:
- Users get more detailed information from what TripAdvisor calls "the wisdom of friends" that helps users plan, enjoy and share better trips.
- TripAdvisor can mine relationships for data that increases the stickiness of their product, and receive more reviews and interactions as friends connect via the app.
- Facebook gets access to that much more information to seed elsewhere in the OpenGraph ecosystem.

Nick, this is worthy of a comment. Thanks for the data points. I'm surprised that no other mature travel brand is taking advantage of:

Rated 4 out of 5 by Simpola I swim in these trunks Happy with the overall quality of the trunks. Unfortunately the trunks are too big and aren't adjustable enough in the waist. March 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rickbro Bright Color and Great Fit I got these in orange. They are comfortable and sharp looking and now I'm tempted to get them in all the colors you have! February 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Martin79 Perfect for my age Today is my 79th birthday! One of the minor problems of ageing is buying swimwear that doen't make you look ridiculous. The Baja Poolsode trunks are cut just right. Comfortable, dignified (strange thing to say about swim trunks but you haven't seen my skinny legs!) and cheerful but but not gaudy colors and patterns. Thank you Tommy Bahama December 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MargaritaVillain Classic board shorts with TB panache I bought these in both colors due to their quality and how well the look on me. They are quality made as only Tommy can.

Reporting from New Delhi—It's a stultifying afternoon outside the Delhi District Court as Arun Yadav slides a sheet of paper into his decades-old Remington and revs up his daily 30-word-a-minute tap dance.
Nearby, hundreds of other workers clatter away on manual typewriters amid a sea of broken chairs and wobbly tables as the occasional wildlife thumps on the leaky tin roof above.
The factories that make the machines may be going silent, but India's typewriter culture remains defiantly alive, fighting on bravely against that omnipresent upstart, the computer. (In fact, if India had its own version of "Mad Men," with its perfumed typing pools and swaggering execs, it might not be set in the 1960s but the early 1990s, India's peak typewriter years, when 150,000 machines were sold annually.)
Credit for its lingering presence goes to India's infamous bureaucracy, as enamored as ever of outdated forms (often in triplicate) and useless procedures, documents piled 3 feet high and binders secured by pink string.
Other loyalists include the over-50 generation and, conversely, young people in rural areas who dream of a call-center job but can't yet afford a laptop. There are also certain advantages to a machine without a power cord in a country where 400 million people still lack electricity.
"Power failures help us," said Rajesh Palta of Delhi's Universal Typewriter shop, whose family fled Pakistan for India during the 1947 partition with their most precious possessions: four typewriters.
Perhaps it's telling that India decided only last year to remove typewriter production as a component of its wholesale price index measuring inflation.
Although bureaucrats in growing numbers embrace computers, the governments of several states, including those containing New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, still require manual typing tests. And that's music to the ears of typing institutes, second-hand typewriter dealers and repairmen.
"I don't know why the test hasn't changed," said Debolina Mitra, a manual instructor at Kolkata's George Telegraph Typing Institute. "It's bureaucrat logic."
India's lingering love affair with correction fluid and carbon paper befits a country that often seems caught in two centuries, where high-tech companies and an ambitious space program coexist with human-powered rickshaws and feudal village life.
Indian firm Godrej and Boyce, one of the world's last typewriter makers, released its first commercial model in 1955, reportedly inspired by then-Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who saw it as a "symbol of independent and industrialized India." Nehru reportedly received one of the first machines.
Over the next few decades, owning a manual typewriter was a major status symbol. "Small companies with a typewriter were really going somewhere," Palta said.
Demand during the 1960s and '70s was so high that customers waited up to six months for new machines, which cost nearly as much as a recent engineering graduate's yearly salary of about $175.
"The better customers got first dibs," said C.K. Chawla, head of New Delhi's Chawla Typewriters, which suffered a break-in during the early 1970s and then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's gold-plated machine — in for repairs — was stolen.
"Usually insurance companies take forever," said Chawla, whose typewriter repair business is still a going concern, even if he has been forced to diversify. "But with Gandhi's, they settled almost immediately."
Typing was all but compulsory for any woman who wanted a job, said Geeta Meshran, 53, who banged away for 22 years in the Mumbai government's typing pool. Efficiency wasn't always paramount there. "I often worked as slowly as possible, so I wouldn't have to retype the page," she said.
A reflection of the machine's glamour is captured in the 1970 film "Bombay Talkie," with one classic scene showing women in canary yellow bell bottoms dancing atop oversized typewriter keys and singing "typewriter, tip, tip, tip" in high-pitched tones. "Typewriter keys represent the keys of life," one character says. "And we human beings dance on them."
"Typewriters were a real symbol of Indian life. Just consider how many laws and birth certificates came from its keys," said Abhishek Jain, who at age 13 set a world record in 1991 typing 117 words a minute on a Godrej manual.

Featured Grants
Aspiring Authors!
Woodland's 1st and 2nd graders became published authors.
From the imaginations of young minds come tales of pirates, princesses, train adventures, and silly siblings. Kindergartners and first graders at Woodland School became published authors thanks to the Aspiring Authors grant from the Morris Educational Foundation.
In May, students celebrated the arrival of the books with presentations to parents and peers. Each book was displayed next to a review sheet where readers could make a comment. "I like having other kids read my book," said one young author proudly.
Mr. Greg Sumski's kindergarten class and Mrs. Uray Vazquez's first grade class participated in the project. "We brainstormed topic ideas as a group," explained Mr. Sumski. "The students learned about characters and plot. They worked on the story line, the beginning, the middle, the end." For four weeks, students perfected their stories, with the help of parent volunteers, and then illustrated them on special paper. The final projects were sent off to the publisher, and then the anticipation began.
"There was a lot of excitement when the books arrived," said Mr. Sumski. Olivia McCaffrey, author of "The Escape From the Evil Castle," said her favorite part of the project was drawing the pictures. "My favorite part was seeing the book finished," said James Grizzetty.
Butterflies Are Free!
MEF grants are helping Alfred Vail students build gardens.
Things are growing at Alfred Vail School! Over the past year the school has received two grants from the Morris Educational Foundation to build and maintain organic vegetable and butterfly gardens.
The first phase of the project was kicked off with a school wide celebration in June 2011, after months of planning. There were caterpillars to feed, cocoons to watch, seeds to sew, a garden to build, and plants to water. Finally, it was time to open the containers in the new herb garden at the back of the school and let the newly hatched butterflies free.
All the students at Alfred Vail School took part in the Organic Garden and Butterfly grant provided by the Morris Educational Foundation. Kindergartners took care of the butterfly cages in their classrooms and watched eagerly as the insects transformed from caterpillars to cocoons to butterflies. First graders sewed seeds in plastic cups in their classrooms, sat them in the warmth of the window, and watered and cared for them as vegetables sprouted. Second graders planted and cared for the herb garden, filled with basil and marigolds.
"We wrote the name of each plant on the cup," said first grader Thomas Evansky. When the plants out grew the cups, the classes transplanted them to the larger raised bed garden in the school's courtyard.
"My favorite part was when we got the hose out to water the plants," said Abigail Passarella. "We all took turns watering." The green beans were the first vegetables ready to be harvested. "We all got to eat a green bean!" exclaimed Kaitlyn Chu, wearing her pink butterfly t-shirt in honor of the special day. Karamjit Singh smiled proudly as he admired the vegetables now growing taller than him. "And the butterflies found this vegetable garden," he noted.
Throughout the summer, the gardens were tended to by students and their parents. In September there were cucumbers, squash, zucchini, peppers, and three kinds of tomatoes harvested. "We had a big salad day in September, when we ate all our vegetables," said first grade teacher, Mrs. Janice Whitcomb, author of the grant and leader of the entire project. In addition to the butterflies and the gardens, her class play was How Does Your Garden Grow? "This has been the hardest thing I've ever done as a teacher," she said and added, "but the most rewarding!"
As a follow up to the original grant, the MEF funded a second grant to Alfred Vail School to expand the organic raised bed garden. A second raised bed will be added to fit different vegetables. The students will learn how seeds from last year's garden will become this year's plants and how various plants and herbs provide a habitat for butterflies. The children, teachers, parents, girl scouts and school workers will tend the garden and eat the vegetables that are grown.

Do you ever have one of those days when you just feel lucky? Like maybe you should buy a lottery ticket lucky? Lucky you! It's great to feel lucky, even if you don't end up winning the lottery. We feel lucky when our skin is behaving nicely and our Satin Matte Foundation goes on like silk; when the eyeshadow colors we selected blend like a work of art. We feel lucky when we are filling orders from our wonderful customers, and reading all the delightful emails you send us.
Of course, there are those days that don't feel so lucky. Gravity seems to be working extra well, and you drop everything you touch. There are days that the calendar tells us should be unlucky. We try to not be superstitious, but some days can just feel jinxed.
We aren't making any specific promises, but we think there might be something to help you alleviate the fear of those predicted "unlucky" days. Carry your lucky coin, wear your lucky blouse, but also take a few moments to read our blog on days that seem as they might otherwise be troublesome. Perhaps you'll find some information that will make you feel more lucky! Lucky you!
i am one of those unique individuals who thinks 2/13/09 will be lucky, especially because it is a Friday, as it is the day i turn 40. we make our own luck and sometimes get help from other places. i have just started following Alima since i am looking to start using makeup and find i am enjoying what i am learning from the site and feeds. already i think i have been brought luck.
That message is just FULL of hints ;). Can't wait for March's collection…!
Maybe on a day which might otherwise seem unlucky? I think you are on the right track Kamen!
We're glad you found Alima too, Susan!
All the best,
I just recently started using Alima makeup and have to say that I'm hooked!
Haha, maybe the unlucky day is 2-13-09, it's going to Friday the 13th next month.
I have been using Alima Satin Matte Foundation for almost a year now and LOVE IT! It feels so light and provides plenty of coverage and it makes me feel good to know that I am using something healthy for my skin!! I also love the foundation brush. I used to have another brush (not Alima) and it is amazing how super-soft the Almia Brush is compared to the other brush.
I am so glad I found Alima!
Hmmm, am I the only one who sees some type of little "hint" to be watching this blog in this message?

The energy revolution: California must not be left behind
This new sophistication has led to productive natural-gas and oil drilling – and economic booms – in North Dakota, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and a growing list of states. The results are startling: The International Energy Association now forecasts the United States is on track to become the world's leading oil producer in coming years. A glut of natural gas in the U.S. has produced the cheapest prices in years. With many utilities switching from coal to much-cleaner natural gas, 2012 saw greenhouse-gas emissions in the U.S. fall to a 20-year low.
This has occurred even though many of the areas in the U.S. with the greatest potential for hugely productive, wide-scale fracking have yet to be touched.
That list starts with California, which is believed to have more recoverable oil than the rest of the nation combined.
According to a 2011 Federal Energy Information Association report, the state's primary oil shale resource, known as the Monterey Formation, has at least 15.4 billion barrels of recoverable crude oil – and that is an estimate that's very much at the low end of the spectrum among energy analysts. Even that small figure is four times greater than the Bakken shale formation in North Dakota and the Upper Midwest, where unemployment has plunged and tax revenue exploded. It suggests that California – at the least – has oil reserves comparable to Saudi Arabia.
The Monterey Shale can be found under large areas of Central and Southern California, including thousands of square miles on and off the coast from Orange County to Santa Barbara. But the primary focus of energy-exploration firms has been in the Central Valley, where the shale resource ranges from the east edge of Silicon Valley south to Kings and Kern counties.
Illustrating how the federal estimate may be on the low side, Occidental Petroleum estimates there are more than 20 billion barrels of potential oil just on shale reserves in California land that it already controls. While the Golden State's underground geology is more complex – thanks to seismic activity – than in states like North Dakota and Texas, the resulting complications are not expected to prevent successful extraction of oil reserves. Under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, Occidental can only tout "economically producible" reserves in its SEC filings and the representations it makes to shareholders and potential investors. The third-largest U.S. oil and gas producer stands by its claim.
But even if the lower federal estimates of accessible reserves are accurate, their potential to transform California's economy is immense. The California Independent Petroleum Association says one oil rig alone creates 100 relatively well-paying jobs, which generally only require a high-school education and some training to perform.
Though California remains the fourth-largest oil-producing state, its production has declined since 1985. There are estimated to be only about 50 operational oil rigs in the state – down vastly from the 1920s, when California produced about one-quarter of the world's oil.
That could change immensely if the Monterey Shale were to be developed. Job creation, however, wouldn't be the only upside. Because California is the only major oil-producing state without a severance tax – sometimes called an extraction tax – on every barrel that drillers produce, there is a perception that increased oil production wouldn't be the bonanza here that it is in a state like Alaska, where the state imposes a 25 percent extraction tax, or that it is in Saudi Arabia, where oil wealth has so transformed the lives of residents that some compare life there to living inside a charitable foundation.

TWO great challenges of the 21st century - green energy and wildlife conservation - could have a symbiotic solution.
Michael McGuigan of the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, has suggested that combining solar power plants with nature reserves could tackle both problems. A sanctuary for 300 tigers, for example, would cover a patch of land about 50 kilometres across. Surrounding this with a 5-kilometre-wide ring of solar panels would create a power plant producing 60 gigawatts of electricity (www.arxiv.org/abs/0902.4692).
Some of that power could be used to electrify nearby villages. That would reduce the need for rural populations to forage for firewood, removing a major source of conflict between wild animals and villagers.
Asir Johnsingh, an expert on tiger conservation and adviser for WWF based in Bangalore, India, agrees that where sanctuaries border villages and cultivated land, solar power plants would benefit the ...

We're huge fans of Pad & Quill so we're excited to let you know that today the St. Paul, MN-based company announced some new wallets/cases for iPhone 5/s. Most notable is the $70 Traveller case [WANT] which will hold your iPhone and multiple cards in a pouch around back with a slider that helps eject your wares. We've noted before how much we like Pad and Quill's rugged construction and genuine materials.
My dad had an old coin pouch that he carried everywhere with him and I have very good memories of that. We made this case inspired by his old coin pouch. It's a tribute to my Dad and to the Craftsman. This is a VERY intricately hand assembled iPhone cover that includes a generous hidden back pocket for multiple Credit cards and ID. This is soft full grain luxury and rugged protection.
The Traveller comes in both Whiskey Brown and Onyx Black.
To accompany this new case, P&Q also just launched 3 new Pad & Quill Wallets made of the same luxury materials…The Midtown $40 – The minimalist wallet made of Full Grain leather and parachute grade stitching. The Journeyman $55 – A great classic bifold for the everyday adventure The Odyssey $90 – Ok, this one is for travel and it is amazing. Holds Passport, tickets, cc, ID and money. Even has a hidden pocket. All fits in the back of jean pocket or coat pocket. Even includes a Micro Pen for immigration documents!

No protection for the bottom/front. It's not even a consideration. What's the point of a case that doesn't protect the phone?
Actually… I've been using a plastic case that is made very much the same. I've dropped my phone a number of times without it being damaged (knock knock on wood)… So I'm sure this would give an added level of security if only because the leather would provide for a soft landing. But HEY… I could be wrong.
They have cases that protect. This case isn't for THAT. The POINT of THIS case is style for people that do not abuse their phones like children
Actually, the only thing that matters for most drop scenarios is that there is a robust "lip" that protrudes past the face of the display that prevents it from bearing the force of the impact with the ground. This case would certainly protect the phone during drops, and if you want a screen protector you can use one (although most screen protectors scratch easier than the actual screen), and the bottom of the device isn't really at risk unless you're keeping keys in your pocket.
Coin "pouch?" I believe it's called a "coin purse." Don't worry about the name, hipsters aren't afraid to carry a purse.
Awful. And how can it be "inspired" by a coin pouch that it shares absolutely *none* of the same characteristics with? Other than being made out of leather that is.
I'm so tired of Pad & Quill and their horrible "cases for geriatrics" as my nephew calls them. Putting your mobile gear in bulky cases made out of wood and leather that "simulate" (without looking much like them) old-school books and bags is just stupid.
A case as bulky as the thinnest case these guys make, but made out of rubber or plastic would be roundly panned by critics, which leads me to believe that the only thing being sold here is "old-timey-ness." I other words, these are basically for seniors or rich, trendy hipsters.
It's also pretty elitist to take your expensive luxury phone and put it in an even more expensive luxury case, just to tote it around and show off with. Put on a case on your iPhone if it's a practical need. Putting on a case just to show off, or as a fashion statement (as with these ones) is ludicrous IMO.
It's a style thing, silly person, you would NOT understand.
Ugly, just like everything else they make. The apple case is the same kind of design and just so much better.
I have the Apple case in Red and it is thin and functional. This case looks somewhat more stout. My Red case gets dirty VERY quickly, but the price was right at $39.
I'm not digging the new phone case. Although… I do own a iPad Mini case from them that is very nice, I will pass on this one. I believe that people should get what they want. If you can actually afford what you want, then you should really get it. I don't have a problem with the pricing either. There are people who spend obscene amounts of money on cars, types of clothing, trendy foods and the such. This is no different. It's about your preferences and if it fits in your budget (or savings).
I have no problem with luxury pricing at all. I have a problem with badly designed and cheap looking products charging luxury prices. The card holder on the back of this case just leaves me speechless with how awful it is.
I agree with Nick and Mr. Grey. If I pay premium prices I want premium stuff. For me the best in the business ,regarding leather macbook sleeves, leather iphone cases, is decoded. http://www.decodedbags.com
I've never been disappointed with their products.
I feel the same way. I want to get one of their cases for my MacBook Air.
its hideous :O

Julian Casablancas – 11th DimensionPosted: September 20th, 2009 | Author: dvdmcn | Filed under: MP3 | Tags: Albert Hammond Jr., The Strokes | Comments Closed
It's easy to forget that The Strokes album was written pretty much completely by Julian Casablancas. With Albert Hammond Jr. now on his 3rd solo record, and Fab Moretti also doing extra curricular activities, to think that JC was the creative force behind one of the greatest debut albums of all time, makes one pretty excited about his forthcoming debut album, PHRAZES FOR THE YOUNG.
This is the first offering from said album, and I have to say it's very promising. Reminding me of some of the Strokes often overlooked b-sides (check out Hawaii, one of my favourite Strokes… More

VoiceCentral's Black Swan Brings Google Voice to the iPhone
Riverturn has entered into the Google Voice for iPhone arena with it's latest offering VoiceCentral Black Swan. Google Voice and iPhone have a long history together and it has not been pretty, until now that is.
Black Swan is an application you can get outside of the App Store and you do not need to have a jailbroken device. It is not a web app like the official Google solution but rather a feature rich "weblication" that enables you to view and manage your Google Voice data just like you would with a native iPhone application. As you can see by the following features, no stone as been left unturned with this app:
- Native iPhone look and feel.
- Sync your Google Voice data.
- Automatic and immediate updates.
- Offline access to Google Voice data.
- Listen to Google Voice messages and read transcriptions.
- Swipe to delete calls, voicemails, or SMS conversations.
- Google Contacts import.
- Call using Google Voice or iPhone.
Simply visit the Black Swan web site directly from your iPhone to download. You will have a choice to select between two versions - free (ad-supported) or premium. The premium version will run you $6.00 a year and for that you will also get zero ads, the ability to import contact photos, favorites, ability to search your inbox, and a do not disturb option.
This is hands down the best current solution for those of you who use Google Voice on your iPhones. Be sure to check out the demo of Black Swan in action and let us know how it works for you in the comments below!

VoiceCentral's Black Swan Brings Google Voice to the iPhone
Anyone know if there is an issue with using your Google credentials within their app?
Yes, it is essentially a webapp, albeit a very sophisticated one. It is a good effort, but there are some things a native app can do that a webapp cannot. Still, it is the best anybody can do as long as Apple bans -- excuse me, Mr FCC -- continues to evaluate native GV applications.
Lame Webapps
Well, the best anyone can do without jailbreaking and getting GV mobile :)
I've been using it for the last three days. To be honest, I find it far better than the alternatives. I had too many refreshing issues with googles webapp and with GV mobile. granted, I am almost positive this is because I live/work/function in Edge only coverage. Black Swan has been a considerable bit easier on the headaches. I paid the 6 bucks for a year, well worth it when im saving about 40 bucks a month with no texting plan.
just "installed" and it takes longer to load than just using Google's webapp, which works really well already. dont see the point of this. plus I hate the callback when i place a call, google's webapp doesnt call you back. this is kinda dumb
I think I prefer the native Google Voice webapp make a call feature versus having the Blackswan app call me back, thats why I will always prefer the Google Voice Mobile webapp over GV Mobile+ or Blackswan. If Google could release the API to 3rd parties so Blackswan wouldn't have to resort to "calling back" to place a call, it would be pretty sweet!
Yes, it's a webapp, but unlike any other webapp I've seen. It takes a while to load the first time, but it's clear that data is locally stored because it loads much faster the second time. Try putting your phone in airplane mode and then launching it. It still loads, just tells you that you are offline. Clearly this is storing information locally and not loading it all from the web each time it is launched. I see this kind of webapp as an alternative to the app store. If you can get most of the look and feel of a native app and bypass the App Store...hmmm. Might be an alternative to jail break for apps that Apple won't approve.
Ok Renè. No japan bashing today.
Got an e-mail from Black Swan informing me my account had been activated. Great! Tried to log in. No luck. Had signed up for google voice back in January. Everytime I go to the Voice page I get the page reading "Coming soon". WTF?? Since I can't use google voice I can't use Black Swan. WTF. I have the google voice app on my jb 3g. I can log in, but can't do anything else!! WTF? I have to in the USA??
It is a nice app but I see googles own webapp as eventually having all the features it provides. Right now for non jailbroken phones it is probably the nicest app. For jailbroken I think gv mobile is nicer. Ps (plug) for push notification of SMS and voicemail I think gvmax together with an IM client or prowl is the best solution.

D. BEVERIDGE (Living Nominee)
Beveridge played polo for 35 years and was the embodiment of the gentleman polo
player. By the time he reached his 7-goal rating in 1967, he was considered one
of the best amateur players in the game, maintaining that handicap for four years.
Thereafter, he maintained a 6-goal rating for more than a decade. He has won numerous
major tournaments, including the U.S. Open four times over a span of three decades,
1957, 1963, 1971 and 1973. He was always well-mounted, and one of his horses,
Chips Royal, won the Hartman Trophy for the U.S. Open in 1973. His teams recorded
titles in the 20-goal Silver Cup in 1954, 1960 and 1961; the Butler National Handicap
in 1956, 1957 and 1977; the America Cup in 1966; the Chairmans Cup in 1967
and 1968; and the Inter-Circuit in 1953, 1966 and 1968. Internationally, he played
on the victorious Camacho Cup teams for the Camacho Cup in both 1974 and 1975;
played on the U.S.A. World 30-Goal team that played in Argentina in 1966; and
won the Benson & Hedges tournament in South Africa in 1974. In addition, he
was governor of the United States Polo Associations Southwest Circuit and
served for many years on numerous USPA committees, including as chairman of the
Handicap Committee.

John v.H. Halsey, the president of the Peconic Land Trust, talks about the successes and the challenges of land preservation on the East End on the eve of the trust's 30th anniversary.
The Peconic Land Trust turns 30 in 2013 — from where you sit, how have land preservation efforts evolved in the last three decades?
There are a lot of dimensions to that question. Of course, it's complicated. The fundamental problem of real estate values is a constant. In fact, the real estate values from the '70s — when the efforts to protect open space and farmland began — was a driving issue. Since then the values have continued to appreciate.
To give a sense of the degree of difficulty today, the restricted value of protected farmland in Southampton Town is $100,000 per acre. Of course, that's beyond what a farmer can afford. Because of the price we pay for food, the economics don't work when you get to $100,000 an acre.
Corollary to that, if you own 100 acres of protected farmland, it's an asset of $10 million. Imagine what the land's worth the with rights intact. That problem still is a driving force in decisions people have to make. Estate planning is often part of the process and hopefully they do that before it becomes a problem.
Land owners have been empowered with more conservation tools — both private and public — than were available in the 1970s when many were blindsided by this and thought they had two options — to sell the farm to pay the taxes or let their kids deal with it. Neither one is good and we wanted for the community as a whole to preserve this agricultural legacy.
Purchase of development rights, easements, installment purchases and estate piece have all combined to accomplish a tremendous amount not only in terms of short term acquisition but in terms of estate planning.
How do preservation efforts need to change going forward?
We are facing problems we didn't anticipate in the '70s and '80s. We have to yet again refine the tools we have. While we're protecting the resource of farmland, we're not protecting working farms or conserving them. How does a food producing farmer compete where protected farmland is $100,000 an acre? We have to do more if we want to sustain the business of farming as well as farming itself. It was an unanticipated problem — that there would be a market of non-farmers buying protected land. There's nothing to compel buyers to farm. We need to make that land available to farmers.
We tried to address that by reselling protected farmland to the Pikes [in Sagaponack] with additional restrictions to ensure it would be available to future farmers at a price they can afford. It also enabled us to sell to the Pikes the land below $100,000 an acre.
One of Land Trust's goals is to protect 15,000 acres of working farms, natural lands and watershed areas by 2015. Are we on track for that goal?
It's hard to say. We've gone through a rough spell here with the economy. But I think it's possible. Working with our partners, both the public sector and the private through conservation easements and the blending of resources, we're able to supplement public money. We need to ensure the town boards, county and state legislators and the governor all the way up are on board and we have to educate them on the importance of these tools.
