Additional Notes
Complaint: we were told to buy a new water heater, charged $99 , a second opinion yielded a repair to the pilot light Nov 21, 2012 Dear Better Business Bureau, On May 26, 0212 (a holiday weekend) we called Benjamin Franklin to service our hot water heater located at our home in Breckenridge. Following a complete inspection by a Benjamin Franklin technician, we were told we needed a new water heater and the cost was upwards of $1500. The service person reviewed options to install a new water heater the following week. We explained how surprised we were as the unit was less than six years old. On Tuesday May 29, we had our regular mechanic give us a second opinion. He adjusted the pilot light and the water heater was operational. We have called the Benjamin Franklin Breckenridge office many times. The last call was September 14 at 10:00am. We spoke with a delightful individual ****. We explained our dissatisfaction with a service call resulting in a recommendation to buy a new unit. I suggested she speak with our regular mechanic or we could meet her technician at our home and he could see our water heater was working. I stated I was uncomfortable being charged $99 for a service call and told to buy a new water heater, it felt dishonest. She stated numerous times this is not how BF does business and the owner ****** would call me. She also stated that ****** has received our message but "just not called us back". Thank you for your helping us out. ****** ****** ******************************************************* XXXXX XXX-XXX-XXXX **************************** XXXXX
Desired Settlement: $99 credit back for the service call

John Mayer + Katy Perry Get Goofy at President Obama's Inauguration Ceremony
Cute couple alert! John Mayer joined his lovely lady friend, Katy Perry, to see President Obama be sworn in for his second term.
Cute couple alert! John Mayer joined his lovely lady friend, Katy Perry, to see President Obama be sworn in for his second term.
Katy Perry, Usher and the cast of 'Glee' were on hand to celebrate the inauguration of President Barack Obama for his second term. The festivities began the Kids Inaugural Concert, emceed by Nick Cannon and graced by the First Family and Vice President Joe Biden and Co. as well.
Katy Perry and John Mayer are comfortable enough together to dress like slobs now, and you know what that means: They want to breed.
Very nice way to start the new year, indeed, Katy! Perry took home the People's Choice Award for Favorite Pop Artist, Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Music Video, with her KatyCats winning for Favorite Music Fan Following. Phew! Did you catch all that?
Katy Perry sure has a lot to be proud of in 2012!
Not only has the singer had her hottest year in music since her debut, she was crowned 'Hottest Woman' by Men's Health Magazine and was recently named the victor of the most played artist on the radio last year!
After spending the holidays together, Katy Perry and John Mayer are setting tongues wagging about just how hot and heavy their relaysh is getting.
Katy Perry isn't looking so good these days, as she and allegedly reformed manwhore John Mayer have moved from the "honeymoon" stage straight into the frumpy, "who cares what we look like now that we have someone to bang on the regular" stage.
Shut up, that is too a relationship stage.
Ho ho ho! John Mayer is so much more than a cad with a big mouth when it comes to relationships. The singer-songwriter and guitarist is also a great role player.
His GF Katy Perry tweeted a picture of him in a Santa Claus costume -- giving off a sly grin in place of the furry white beard -- on Christmas.
While serial dater John Mayer and serial candy dress wearer Katy Perry haven't even officially confirmed their romance after several months of dating, public outings and photo opps, details of Mayer's customized Christmas present for the pop diva have been unveiled.

This paper introduces universal matrices for the computation of edge-element matrices on triangles and tetrahedra. Universal matrices are useful because they allow a simple and efficient implementation of edge-element codes for computational electromagnetics. These matrices are partially derived from nodal universal matrices, permitting some reuse of nodal finite-element codes. Although universal matrices are limited to noncurvilinear elements, some intermediate matrices instrumental to their construction can be used for the efficient computation of edge-element matrices on curvilinear elements.

After years of controversy, sex education will now be mandatory in Hawaii schools just as data suggests recent efforts to improve sex ed have worked to reduce teen pregnancy and abortion rates.
Although strong policies provide important backing for schools' decisions about curricula, they do not automatically translate into implementation at the classroom level.
It was an outrageous—and ultimately false—story of 20 teens in a small high school in Texas having chlamydia that finally got media outlets to discuss whether kids need medically accurate information.
What will it take to get people to recognize not just the racial disparity in death rates but the disparity in concern over U.S. Black women's health and lives?
Pointing out gender stereotypes in abstinence-only curricula got law professor Nina Pillard, who was nominated to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, in trouble with the Senate Judiciary Committee, but it's something we should talk about more often.
A presentation in Tennessee made headlines after a student recorded the inaccurate, misleading, and extremely biased information presented in his high school class. Here's what was said, and what's wrong with the presentation.
Federally funded crisis pregnancy centers bring mazes, game shows, and questionable health information to teens.
The language in a new abstinence-only bill that passed the Tennessee senate demonstrates the profound misunderstanding of sexual realities that guides the anti-choice movement.
A high school teacher speaks out about the pressing need for sexuality education among her students, who are literally begging for accurate information so they can make responsible decisions.
A 911 came out today from SIECUS to call and demand ab-only funding be removed from the 2012 Appropriations Bill. I have cut and pasted the call to action at the end of this email. Meanwhile, read up on why ab-only is so bad; I do the research so you don't have to!

Wedding Trivia:SATURDAY WEDDINGSIn early times, for Christians, Sunday was the original day of choice for weddings because it was not a work day.

Phoronix does not benchmark <insert game here> because it does not have a benchmark mode for Linux or has a benchmark that is hard to automate. (For source, it is hard to automate I beleive).
These tests use the following opengl levels.
Unigine requires openGL 3.2 (and higher if available)
Xonotic openGL 2.0
Open Arena openGL ES
As you can see, they cover a decent selection of the openGL feature set. Performance improvements (or regressions) detected by these benchmarks are likely to indicate improvements (or regressions) in other games using the same opengl level.
If you want things to change. Please kindly ask game/benchmark developers to create a benchmark of their game engine that can be launched from the command line. Preferably one that is self contained so it can easily be transferred to the test machines.

Isaac was very fast to repair, very professional, honest, and friendly. I am a physician who esteems great customer service. Isaac did it right. He deserves a raise.
Jerry did a great job in educating me about what to do to keep the dishwasher clean and running optimally with the right cleaner and the right detergent.
Our dryer quit heating the other day, Called Carter Sevices. Kent was here shortly. Had the dryer fixed and told me to also get my vent cleaned because it showed restricted flow. Kent replaced a burned out part and cleaned the machine out. Ive used Carter in the past and have never had a bad experience. Rates have always been completely within reason. Clean and courtious.
We have had Carter Services at our house on numerous occasions. They have fixed our pilot light (a piece had been broken and it would not re-light), a broken refrigerator, two leaky faucets, our garbage disposal and, most recently, a gas leak that the meter man found outside our house. Each time the were professional and timely. Nik was the plumber that showed up on four different occasions. We cannot be happier with him. He is trustworthy and congenial. If it weren't for the fact that he had to fix problems at our house it is like we almost look forward to seeing him. The price has been fair and we have never felt overcharged. We will continue to do business with Carter Services as long as we live in the South Bay.
Winson was great! He called me before the estimated arrival time to tell me that he would be early which was awesome. We was very professional and once he found the problem he showed me what he was doing to fix it and why the problem occurred. The problem was with a Frigidare freezer. And it was fixed before he left!

Right? A promo feud between the two would be fucking brilliant! Though Punk is far better in the ring than Ambrose is. Still, would be fun to watch!
I honestly think I enjoyed Payback more than Wrestlemania.
Yeah we've all given up. GG.
Although the Wyatt Family was awesome last night.
The "Husky Harris" chants were just fucking obnoxious though. Smarky crowds thinking that they are so smart is becoming incredibly painful. Like what, do you want a cookie for being able to remember things?
These pricks are no better than the assholes who still chant "WHAT" and have killed many great promos and the momentum of performers.
I still love the "what" chants. And Mark Henry fucking deserves them too. Why? Because that motherfucker talks slower than anyone on the fucking planet. When he pauses at just the right time in between words, he's just fucking ASKING to be "whatted"!
There's currently 4 reason's I continue to watch the product: Ambrose's promo's (I don't think too much of him in the ring. He's passable tho), DBryan's matches, Punk/Heyman (anything they do) and Jericho's matches. I pretty much fast forward through almost everything else!
Just finished the last 3 matches or so of the Money in the Bank PPV. Streamed it free of course, cuz I woulda been pissed as fuck if I had actually paid $55 for that shit!
The Ziggler/Del Rio World Title match was going to be match of the night until the stupid DQ finish with AJ.
The SuperCena vs. Henry match was OK. Cena gets beat down the whole time, only of course to make a miraculous comeback and submit Henry in the STF.
The WWE Title Money in the Bank match was decent as well. I liked the Heyman heel turn on Punk.... Crowd chanted "We want Lesnar!" as well. Blandy Boreton wins the briefcase, but I'd rather see him reignite his feud with SuperCena then a Cena/Henry or Cena/Ryberg feud again!
Oh and I read Sandow won the World Title MITB match. What the fuck is THAT all about? I mean he's amusing enough on the mic and shit, but really? In line for a World Title push? I think not. Would've been happier with an Ambrose or a Barrett win, in all honesty.
The WHC money in the bank match was really the only full on entertaining match. I'm not opposed to Sandow winning because it'll give him a push along with a face run for Cody Rhodes, considering he practically had it and Sandow "stole" it from him. Plus Cody was made to look great and is hopefully getting the push he deserves. Sure, Ambrose would have been awesome winning, but he doesn't need it. That guy oozes "it factor" and shouldn't be held back if all goes well.
I didn't hear the "We Want Lesnar" chants because my stream sounded like shit, because I as well would definitely not pay that much for that ppv. But the Heyman/Punk stuff should be interesting on Raw. Cool moment between them.
Here's hoping Bray Wyatt kills someone again tomorrow... Just because.
Yeah, the look that Punk shot towards Heyman after he hit him the first time with the ladder.... And Heyman's reaction & subsequent two more hits afterward? Brilliance.
I've always liked Husky Harris/Bray Wyatt. Have you seen any of Bray Wyatt's fcw promos and all that or are you just not a fan? I think he's fascinating. The singing, the dancing with his opponents in the ring, it's all very entertaining. I'm not familiar with the other two guys so I have no clue if they're worth anything.
But yeah, that look of heartbreak on Punk's face was gold (Heyman actually split Punk's head open and he needed 13 staples, ouch). I'm so looking forward to their banter in coming weeks, and Brock being thrown in there to kill Punk.

I've not seen Wyatt's FCW stuff, no. Everytime I see him now, I just see "Husky Harris acting like an idiot"!
Last night's RAW was infinitely better than the shitty.PPV the night before. I don't get why McMahon expects people to pay $50 for shit, and the give 'em gold for free the next night?!
The crowd was great in Brooklyn! The Ziggler/Del Rio match, Jericho/RVD match, the Heyman/Lesnar/Punk segment & DBryan main eventing Summerslam selection made it all worthwhile!
And here I thought, based on what happened at MITB, that D-Bryan was going to get paired up with the current black hole of charisma McGillicutty, er, I mean, Curtis Axel. I can definitely see Orton turning heel at Summerslam and cashing in, taking the title away from Bryan if he does win. They have a solid history built up over the past couple of weeks. I've never liked Orton, but he's doing little things that add to his character; when Kane and Bryan were arguing on Smackdown a w hile, watch Orton play the part of antagonist and watch him hang out against the ropes. He has a little smirk on his face. Deliberately stirring up shit.
Barrett is a bland character and his move list sucks. Oh, and he changes his theme song every other week.

I just checked out the Ziggler/Cesaro match from Main Event tonight. It was taped before Money in the Bank, but it was a fucking helluva match until the shitty finish!
I'm going to have to agree with rocknblues81 and disagree with Trail_Blazer. Sandow is better than Barrett in every facet of WWE... Charisma, look, mic skills, in ring work, everything. Dude should have a bright future in the E.
Guess we'll agree to disagree on that then. I see Sandow the same way I see Curtis Axel: Nothing higher than mid-card at best. But that's just me I guess.
Anyone gonna be checking out "Total Divas" when it comes on the E! channel later at the end of this month?
Last edited by Truthunwinding; 07-21-2013 at 10:21 PM..
I agree, Curtis Axel blows.
I wasn't planning on watch "Total Divas" but everything I read about it makes it more and more intriguing. I'll probably check it out with the wife... and when she figures out that it's connected to wrestling she'll stop watching it and I won't have a "good" excuse to watch it further
Hah! That's why I'm not married.
I'll check it out and see if it's any good.... I love me some Nattie Neidhart, so I think that'll be at the very least amusingly interesting!
Since this thread is dead, I'll just talk randomly.
Last night AJ Lee pretty much buried The Total Divas, and I quite enjoyed it. Surprised they let her say that stuff since they're trying to make money off those women. Too bad about Natalya being on the end of it, though. She's above them.
It's been over a week, but I have to say I loved Lesnar/Punk at Summerslam. Such good storytelling going on in there, and my god, Lesnar got a win. I love Punk, but I didn't particularly think he needed to win. Brock Lesnar is supposed to be a monster, yet repeatedly gets beaten, so they needed to rebuild his image a bit. I'm not one for repeat match ups till the "good guy" wins, but I would not mind at all seeing these two go at it again.

- Cena/Bryan and Punk/Lesnar were great at Summerslam and definitely stole the show. Christian/Del Rio was pretty good as well.
- Loving the Bryan/HHH angle right now. HHH is just so great as the condescending/patronizing heel and I like how strong they are making the new regime look. It will just make it that much bigger when Bryan defeats them.
The Bellas are truly horrible. Yelling "Say it to my face!" when AJ was in fact saying it to their face was nice and stupid, albeit AJ was saying it from a distance. These girls really need to learn how to talk some trash.
I like Triple H in this corporate heel role, and Bryan is a great underdog. This story came at a perfect time too, between Sheamus and Cena being out injured, and Punk being preoccupied with his rage for Heyman. Really lets Daniel Bryan be on his own. Though you know they'll throw in Big Show as an ally, which is very meh...
I still find it funny that this story line has The McMahons willing to push Randy Orton to the moon as champion even though he physically assaulted all of them and practically molested Stephanie, but this Daniel Bryan and his shortness need to be stopped at once. Kind of funny, but hey, what can ya do.
Definitely agree that the Bellas are lame and so is Total Divas. Natalya shouldn't waste her time with these losers and instead, she should be feuding with AJ for the championship.
I think that the Big Show and Mark Henry tag team won't last, even feuding with the likes of the Shield and HHH.
The creative team is wasting the time and talent of Dolph Ziggler. And for no good reason.
Cena being gone isn't a bad thing, but what will the WWE do to work him in after being out for six months? And will the fans want him back then?
I'm guessing the feud between Orton and Bryan is a stall tactic until WrestleMania, when CM Punk reclaims the title.
What are the odds that the Wyatts will be in a heated feud with the Shield by Mania?
I don't think that tag team will last either. Those two guys don't compliment one another, and I don't think they will have good matches. Mark Henry should not be a face anyway....
I don't know what they should do with Dolph. I admire his ability to sell, but he really is not getting over that well and I don't like his mic work. He has a teenage boys personality, and the fans just can't buy into him I don't think. I also hate when he says things like "whatevs". Be a little more manly please!
John Cena. Hmmm... Well, I suspect that he will have to get his win back from DB at some point. I think Punk should win the RR and get the title back at WrestleMania. They owe Punk that much after he put The Rock over twice, Undertaker at WM, and Brock at SS. Now he is being stuck in a feud with Curtis Axel... A mid card guy. It has been a good year for Punk in terms of match quality, but he has lost to three part time guys.
None of that will matter if they let him win the Rumble and get the title at WrestleMania. The problem is that Bryan deserves a title run before then. It doesn't have to be extremely lengthy, but he should have the belt by the Survivor Series. But the problem is that a Punk vs. Bryan PPV is not likely to main event WM. Punk will probably only get his WM main event if he faces John Cena.
I think Taker will fight Brock, and Punk might face Bryan for the title at WM. The only two options for Punk is Bryan and Orton.
Cena has to get thrown in the corporate feud, and I think he will either face Orton or Triple H at WM. Neither of those sound appealing, but I'm not seeing any other options if Lesner faces Taker. Triple H has been active in the last 3 WM's and I see no reason why he will not have a match at WM next year.
Either way, I see DB leaving this angle by the RR and Cena being inserted into it. Vince will probably decide to back John Cena again by then.
Nice to see some Natalya love, since she's not the typical "diva", other than looking good in a bikini.
But since we're parading sex pictures, I gotta balance it out here.
Yep. I would. I totally would.
Loved the Punk/Lesnar match from Summerslam, awesome stuff! The DBryan/SuperCena match was damned good as well, though not quite as good as the Punk & Cena outings.
Great to see DBryan's moment in the sun, even if it WAS short-lived! You know he'll end up getting his WWE Title back from Orton at some point, and it'll be that much sweeter when he does!
Punk, Heyman, Christian & DBryan are the things that keep me watching the product. Without them? I could care less. Also I really DO like Dean Ambrose, though he's very bland in the ring, the guy's a master on the fucking mic! I can't wait until they allow him to go Heath Ledger "Joker crazy" though, once he inevitably breaks away from the Shield!
I wouldn't be shocked if we got a DB/Triple H match before this angle is over with... Call me crazy, but I think they could have a really good match. If HHH would put him over I wouldn't mind it.
How this thread dies just mere posts after those Nattie GIFS is crazy to me.
Royal Rumble tonight! Anyone stoked?
I did a little show about my predictions, CHECK IT OUT!
Terrible show that was only saved by the crowd shitting all over the last 2 matches.
"This is awful" , "We Want Divas" during the Cena/Orton match was gold.
Then booing the ever loving hell out of the Rumble match once Rey came out at #30 for the rest of the match once they realized Daniel Bryan was actually not in the Rumble.
Post match Batista apparently lost his cool and flipped off some fans after they kept booing him and started to mock the "Yes" chant.
If the WWE doesn't call an audible here and stubbornly continues with Orton/Batista for the main event of one of their biggest Wrestlemania's ever, that might be the most epic negative crowd reaction they have ever seen.
Awesome HOF video for Jake Roberts last night, couldn't be happier with the long overdue induction.
"You're a sick man, Jake Roberts!"
"Thank you very much."
Haha, heel Jake was one of the best scumbags EVER...
The Batista shitstorm continues. Apparently CM Punk has walked out on the company. It's not supposed to be a work, but there's about a dozen rumors of why he left. If this is true, I'm happy he's standing up for his beliefs, but I'll miss him.

Batista coming back... big whoop; nobody cares; what a weird decision.
CM Punk walking away becasue of it... boo hoo. This guy had 1 really great "pipebomb" interview and had the E by the balls for over a year... he was the champ for fucking ever during that time and when somebody comes back and takes the spotlight he wants he quits. What a loser. Too small to be intimidating anyways.
I don't think Batista's return was the sole reason he left. Apparently it's not even a factor. He's banged up, tired, and the company is being ridiculous with their decisions.
And I'm sorry, but one great pipebomb? You don't have to like the guy to recognize he gave solid promos before and after that "pipebomb".
Men's obsession with size is quite telling of their psyche. Bigger does not mean better, nor tougher, nor stronger, no scarier. Size is irrelevant to actual ability. Brock Lesnar is an intimidating big guy because he can move. And guys like Batista are sacks of shit.
I have no where else to post this prediction so this place will work as good as any to get it in writing
CM Punk will be returning to the WWE at Wrestlemania and interfering and having a major impact. It's so obvious to me, I don't know why the internet fans can't see it. They made a big deal of him "quitting", they said the door was "open", they let Paul Hayman talk about it to open the show, they still sell his merchandise, yesterday he was the "Spotlight Superstar" on the WWE app. Him quitting was a work and I fully expect him to return during mania.
Other than that, this is the worst Wrestlemania card I can ever remember. I will be watching with friends because it's tradition to get together for Mania and drink heavily but this one is guranteed to be a stinker.
Well, I was absolutely wrong about the CM Punk prediction.
Taker losing at Mania to Lesnar is f'n awful. If you want him to lose the streak, let it be to a future generation star.
XXX was pretty awesome.
The Streak ending was a shock. Figured I would be mad, but I'm not. It was probably Taker's decision and that might be his last match ever.

Pakistan Supreme Court strikes down amnesty deal
President Asif Ali Zardari could once again face charges of corruption after Pakistan's Supreme Court found that an amnesty deal that allowed many officials to serve in the government was unconstitutional.
Faisal Mahmood/REUTERS
Islamabad, Pakistan
PakistanŌĆÖs Supreme Court struck down a controversial amnesty deal on Wednesday that had erased charges ranging from corruption to murder against 8,000 people, including President Asif Ali Zardari. The verdict could invite political instability at a time when Pakistan is grappling with a deadly fight against militants and US pressure to do more.
The ruling that the 2007 National Reconciliation Ordination (NRO) is unconstitutional opens the door for existing cases to resume and for new legal challenges to be lodged against Mr. ZardariŌĆÖs right to hold office.
Many Pakistanis welcomed the decision as a rare victory against corruption. Courtroom observers ran outside and chanted against Zardari and in favor of the justicesŌĆÖ decision to declare any acquittals under the NRO ŌĆ£of no legal effect.ŌĆØ
But it is uncertain how the Supreme Court's action will play out in the legal battle to oust Zardari as well as in the political arena.
The NRO was ŌĆ£the most discriminatory piece of legislation. It just stood the rule of law on its head,ŌĆØ says Maleeha Lodhi, a former ambassador to the United States.
ŌĆ£But of course it comes at a challenging and pivotal moment for Pakistan,ŌĆØ she continues. ŌĆ£A great deal with depend on what the aftermath will be.ŌĆØ
At the center of the storm: Zardari
The NRO was originally cast as a way to free elected officials and bureaucrats from ŌĆ£politically motivatedŌĆØ cases so they could serve in government. But many Pakistanis saw it as a get-out-of-jail free card for the political elite tied to ZardariŌĆÖs Pakistan PeopleŌĆÖs Party (PPP). Party members currently serving as defense minister, interior minister, and ambassador to the US, among others, all got a clean slate.
For Zardari, the charges lifted include questions about a $4 million country estate in England and $40 million in foreign bank accounts. His total assets amount to $1.5 billion, according to a government anticorruption body, a figure his spokesman denies. Zardari had served 11 years in jail on corruption charges but was never convicted, and in 2004 left Pakistan.
The biggest legal battle ahead, over whether Zardari can stay in office, could take months to resolve. As president, he enjoys immunity. But his opponents plan to argue that, with his corruption charges now restored, he was ineligible to run for office in the first place and must step down.
Ball in presidentŌĆÖs court
Outside the courts, meanwhile, a political fight could break out, depending largely on how Zardari responds.
In a conciliatory move last month, he promised to effectively become a figurehead, by fulfilling a promise to transfer hefty presidential powers ŌĆō the right to dismiss the prime minister, dissolve Parliament, and pick the Army chief ŌĆō back to the prime minister. But Zardari could raise the stakes by mobilizing supporters to take to the streets.
Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar says the government ŌĆ£will accept and honor the verdict,ŌĆØ but has yet to determine how to respond politically.
The uncertainty has raised concerns that the military will intervene in government, as itŌĆÖs done throughout PakistanŌĆÖs 62-year history. But since taking over in 2007, Army Chief Gen. Ashfaq Kayani has largely pulled the Army out of politics. With 30,000 soldiers battling the Taliban, Army officials may feel too busy to step in anyway. And like many Pakistanis, the military brass may not mind watching Zardari fall.
At the least, the NRO could distract the government from pressing issues like fighting militants. Even before the Supreme Court announced its decision, Zardari was holding a flurry of meetings with party leaders to discuss the case,┬Āreported Dawn, a leading Pakistani daily. Senior party member Abida Hussain denies that politics will sidetrack the government. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not the ministers and the senators who go out and hunt for the militants,ŌĆØ she says.
'A little bit of hope in PakistanŌĆÖ
The NRO generated controversy from the moment it was brokered in October 2007 by the US and Britain, which were trying to shore up then-President Pervez Musharraf, who was unpopular but an important US ally. Under the agreement, ZardariŌĆÖs late wife, Benazir Bhutto, a former prime minister and widely admired figure, would return from exile cleared of corruption charges and join the government to boost its legitimacy.
Lawyers challenged the NROŌĆÖs constitutionality immediately, but within weeks, Mr. Musharraf replaced the Supreme Court with justices who declined to hear the case.
The original judges remained deposed until March 2009, when lawyers from across the country marched toward Islamabad in a dramatic show of civic force, demanding their reinstatement. By then, Zardari had taken over as president and reneged on his promise to restore the judges. But under the immense pressure of the ŌĆ£lawyersŌĆÖ movement,ŌĆØ he relented, and Pakistanis cheered the milestone for justice.
In July, the restored Supreme Court declared that the NRO could stand only if it were passed into law by Parliament within 120 days. ZardariŌĆÖs ruling party was unable to secure enough votes, so on Nov. 30, the amnesty expired. A week later, the Supreme Court agreed to hold hearings on whether the NRO was constitutional.
Despite the uncertainty going forward, events so far look promising, says Rasul Bakhsh Rais, a political scientist at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. ŌĆ£I see a little bit of hope in Pakistan because things have happened step by step, independence of the judiciary, now the constitutional issues being settled, and now the big one is, how to resolve all these corruption cases.ŌĆØ
Many Pakistanis see the case less as a crusade against corruption than as a politically motivated drive to oust Zardari, who otherwise would remain in office for five years. ŌĆ£The genesis of the case comes from the hostility between the judges and the government.... They are after his blood,ŌĆØ says Mr. Hyder, a civil servant who walked over from his office next door to hear the decision. ŌĆ£Every Pakistani thinks every politician is corrupt," he says, ticking off other powerful political families that "should also be tried."
But most Pakistanis also see the deeply unpopular president ŌĆō nicknamed ŌĆ£Mr. Ten PercentŌĆØ for the kickbacks he supposedly charged ŌĆō as a fair target, Professor Rais says.
ŌĆ£The NRO is really a noose around Zardari and his colleagues,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£How will they react? That is the issue.ŌĆØ

First Impressions: iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S6April 23rd, 2015 by Christen
Let's get ready to rumble! I recently got my hand on the Samsung Galaxy S6 (Thanks to the good folks at Verizon Wireless) and I have been excited to check out the uncanny similarities (and differences) between the iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S6. As an early android adopter (I was the captain of team Android and even scored a cool trip as an ambassador to the 2012 London Olympics) I'm always curious to see just how competitive Apple and Android devices can be. (Honestly, this is a healthy competition, that at the end the consumers win!)
We're all about our smartphones and how they enhance our day-to-day activities, so you know I can't wait to share my favorite user experiences with both devices, but until then, check out this head-to-head comparison and my first impressions of the iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 below.
Displays: Great Meets Greater

- iPhone 6 – 4.7-inch, 1334 x 750 pixels, 326 ppi, LED-backlit IPS LCD
Both screens can get incredibly bright; however, the fact is the Galaxy S6 takes what the iPhone 6 display is good at: brightness, contrast and colours and cranks it up to a whole new level.

The 4k video feature on the Samsung Galaxy S6 is really appealing (especially since I'm trying to step up my YouTube game) But I'll admit, using my iPhone to film is incredibly easy and has great picture quality as well. (I think a quality comparison test is in the works soon…)
All About That Bass: Speaker Comparison
Sounds come through loud and clear with both bottom facing speakers (however, they don't compare to the HTC front facing speakers). Don't expect too much in the bass department though. If you're all about that bass, there's a wide assortment of Bluetooth speakers for that.
Everyone knows that the iPhone 6 will cost you a pretty penny, but did you know that (without contract) the Galaxy S6 is priced even higher:
- Galaxy S6: $699 (32GB), $799 (64GB) and $899 (128GB)
- iPhone 6: $649 (16GB), $749 (64GB) and $849 (128GB)
These are just a few of my initial impresions and I can't wait to follow up and give you more of my thoughts and experiences with both the iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 soon!

Now Playing: Hands On With Samsung Note 4 and Gear VR [VIDEO]September 30th, 2014 by Christen
Have you heard about the new Galaxy Note 4? It's the productivity-powered phablet with processing power, screen resolution and a stylus to make any other phone or tablet jealous. Recently I caught up with the great folks at Samsung to check out the new Note 4 and Gear VR during a media preview event.
The Note 4 is not your ordinary smartphone and when paired with the Gear VR – wireless virtual reality fun is within your reach! Check out the full demo of the Note 4 and Gear VR below.
Interested in getting your hands on the Note 4 and Gear VR? US carriers will start selling the Note 4 on October 17, (But you can preorder the new device as early as today!) AT&T's Note 4 will sell for $300 on-contract (Off-contract, it'll cost $825.99.) Verizon pricing comes down to $300 on contract, $35 per month over 20 months, or $700 full retail.
T-Mobile will sell it for $749.76, or $31.24 per month for 24 months. Sprint's pricing is $350 with a new, two-year service agreement, or $30 a month for 24 months, or $720 all told.

Reception to the Gear VR should give us some sense of whether we're on the verge of the virtual reality revolution that many anticipate the Oculus Rift and the Gear VR will usher in. The two devices are also closely related as OculusVR collaborated with Samsung to create the Gear VR.

The Next Selfie Camera Is Here… Meet The Samsung NX3000 CameraMay 8th, 2014 by Tech Staff
What if you could take a selfie that automatically beautified itself? I'm talking air bushing, removing red-eye and full editing with the press of the shutter button. Say hello to the Samsung NX3000. Samsung introduced a camera for the selfie-obsessed, including an LCD that flips a full 180 degrees and special settings for self portraits. Now that feature is getting a second home in the NX3000.
The marquee feature is the flip-up LCD, which gives selfie lovers the perfect way to set up a high-quality shot of themselves. Not only will you benefit from the NX3000's lens and sensor, but the camera's Self Shot mode will also automatically airbrush your selfies by default (you can turn the feature off for the "natural" look). You can also set it up to snap your selfie either after a 3-second countdown, when you smile or when you wink at the camera.
Just like the NX Mini, it saves to microSD cards instead of full-size ones, both to cut down on space and make them quickly swappable into a smartphone.
There's a micro USB port for data and charging (it has the same battery as in many Galaxy smartphones) as well as a micro HDMI port for displaying photos and videos on a TV. The body comes in brown, black and white, and it ships with a 16-50mm power-zoom lens that includes optical image stabilization. A detachable flash is included.
The NX300 will be available June 1 for $529 (with 16-50mm OIS Power Zoom and a SEF-8 Flash), a version with a 20-50mm lens and SEF-8 flash will also be available for the price of $479.
Getting In Gear With The Samsung Gear Fit From WalMartMay 1st, 2014 by Christen
Did you know that you can find top electronics from your neighborhood WalMart store? It's True! In addition to groceries, beauty products and your favorite mobile electronics and accessories, you can find the latest innovation from Samsung directly at WalMart and Walmart.com. Just yesterday, I wandered inside my local (Long Island) WalMart store to find the new Samsung Gear Fit in-stock and available for purchase. Just in time for my Spring fitness overhaul, I'm back on #TeamSamsung with the latest in fitness-wearable technology.
The Samsung Gear Fit from WalMart doesn't miss a step when it comes to integrating into my super-busy lifestyle. From early morning workouts, walking the dog to interviews and navigating the New York City streets – the Samsung Gear Fit, simply fits my lifestyle to a tee!
This wearable gadget isn't just fun and for good looks either. It helps me keep track of my fitness goals, and even listens to my heart. That's right, the Gear Fit includes a built-in heart rate monitor on its rear panel, allowing the fitness tracker to measure your beats per minute via its onboard app.
It provides much more than an everyday fitness band, keeping me up to date with instant notifications from my Galaxy S4, such as incoming calls, emails, text messages, alarm, S-planner, and even 3rd party apps that I may need are on the move so I can stay connected. Changeable straps in Black, Orange and Mocha Grey is also available so that I can express my individual style, changing the look of the Gear Fit to match my outfit or mood for anytime or any day. The Samsung Gear Fit, the industry's first curved, Super AMOLED wearable device for the active and style conscious consumer. The Gear Fit offers the unmatched convenience of Samsung Gear technology with the most comprehensive fitness tools available, empowering consumers stay physically active without sacrificing personal style or mobile connectivity.
This Samsung Gear Fit from WalMart even controls music, and…well, does all the basic things most people think of when they think of "smart watch" (it has all the components of a smart watch but on a fitness band budget!) I'm loving my new Samsung Gear Fit and have been getting tons of compliments and inquiries about it all day long. For $199 from WalMart, its definitely a great tech additive to suit my busy lifestyle. What do you think? Would you buy a Gear Fit to replace your current fitness tracking wristband?

Samsung Confirms Surprise JAY Z And Kanye West SXSW ShowMarch 10th, 2014 by Christen
Samsung confirms that it will host a special concert at SXSW this Wednesday, 3/12, with JAY Z and Kanye West. Samsung will be rewarding Galaxy owners with complimentary tickets to the show. At 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Samsung will be giving away wristbands to Galaxy owners and a guest at the Galaxy Experience on 2nd & Trinity in downtown Austin across from the convention center.
See below image for details on how consumers can win JAY Z And Kanye West SXSW tickets.
Samsung has continued to build their relationship with Roc Nation since last year when they helped launched JAY Z'S new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. JAY Z And Kanye West SXSW performance on Wednesday is the first time the two will perform together since Kanye joined Roc Nation. It's been since 2012 that their Watch the Throne tour ended.
Additionally, Samsung will be hosting several concerts for Galaxy owners throughout the week (Thursday-Saturday nights). These shows will showcase a variety of music genres and will again be offered on a complimentary basis to Samsung Galaxy owners with Milk Music. Samsung plans to distribute concert wristbands only to owners of Galaxy devices with the newly launched ad-free radio service called Milk Music downloaded on their devices. They can pick up their wristbands at the Galaxy Experience pop-up location at 2nd Street and Trinity Street starting Tuesday at 10 a.m. CT.
Other musicians performing this week for Samsung will be Janelle Monae and Gary Clark Jr. on Thursday, Broken Bells on Friday, and Cut Copy and Holy Ghost! on Saturday.
JAY Z and his entertainment company Roc Nation previously partnered with Samsung in 2013 to release his 12th studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. They gave away 1 million copies of the album, purchased for $5 each by Samsung, to Galaxy owners, who had to download an app to snag a copy. The stunt influenced the Recording Industry Association of America to modernize its 55-year-old certification process to immediately include digital sales.
Wednesday's concert will be the first time JAY Zand Kanye have performed together since Kanye joined Roc Nation earlier this month. They previously shared the stage during the Watch the Throne tour, which ended in 2012. Could this weekend be as epic as anticipated? I hope so!

Victorian pumpkin pie(Read article summary)
No Thanksgiving table is complete without a classic pumpkin pie. For a retro variation, try this recipe from the late 1800s.
Kitchen Report
On most American Thanksgiving tables, pumpkin pie is as much a presence as the turkey centerpiece. In modern forms it may appear as a flan, a cheesecake, or a frozen whipped delight.
In a Victorian-era cookbook, "The Art of Cookery: A Manual for Home and Schools" by Emma P Ewing, I found a recipe for a pumpkin pie that surprised me for two reasons: the heavy use of molasses and no cinnamon.
The cookbook belonged to Minnie P. Weygandt, the cook for Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of The Christian Science Monitor. Minnie had inscribed her name, the date (Aug. 24, 1899), and the place, "Pleasant View," Concord, N.H., in the flyleaf. Pleasant View was the home of Eddy at the turn of the 19th century and one can assume that Minnie used this cooking guide quite a bit as she prepared meals for at least a dozen people.
Being a cook for a large household in the late 1800s was no easy task.
"When I was cooking for Mrs. Eddy then we did not have the convenience of a gas stove," writes Minnie in her reminiscences that can be found in the archives of The Mary Baker Eddy Library in Boston. "All the cooking was done on a very small coal range, which was later supplemented by a two burner gas plate kept on the end of the stove. Many times we worked over that inadequate stove until eleven and twelve at night during the canning and preserving season." (p. 40)
That sounds like a nightmare.
As it was close to Thanksgiving when I asked the Mary Baker Eddy Library staff to bring me Minnie's copy of "The Art of Cookery" from the archives, I naturally looked up the recipe for pumpkin pie.
I have pointed out before, molasses was a common ingredient in early New England cooking. And the use of molasses in pumpkin pie gives it a much richer, browner color.
Cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, or even pumpin pie spice is not present at all in this simple version of pumpkin pie. I was a little skeptical that I had copied the recipe down wrong when I saw "1 tablespoon ginger" in my notes, but I followed through. As most early recipes do not provide oven temperatures, considering the wide range of stoves in use, the recipe simply instructed, "Bake until pie is brown in the center."
I consulted a couple of other cookbooks to come up with a satisfactory oven temperature, and used a knife test just to be sure the pie was finished after it had cooked for nearly an hour.
If you are not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, you may prefer this version. The molasses cloaks the pumpkin flavor and the absence of cinnamon may trick your taste memories away from declaring,"Oh, I'm eating pumpkin pie. It must be Thanksgiving." The ginger is not overpowering at all, and a smooth finish of whipped cream pairs very nicely with the molasses flavor.
With the arrival of Libby's canned pumpkin in 1929, came the annual tradition of baking a Thanksgiving pumpkin pie with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Molasses got the boot.
This earlier version calls for stewed pumpkin. I ended up roasting my pumpkin before puréeing it. You'll also want to let it sit in a sieve for a few minutes to let the extra juices run out.
Victorian pumpkin pie may not be as fashionable as mini pumpkin flans swimming in caramel sauce, but if you show up at Thanksgiving dinner offering one of these, you'll be so retro you'll be hip.
Victorian pumpkin pie
2 cups stewed pumpkin purée
 1 cup rich sweet milk (I used sweet condensed milk)
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten lightly
Sift flour over bottom of pie shell. Bake until pie is brown in center. (I started the oven at 425 degrees F. for 10 minutes, then reduced the heat to 325 degrees F. and baked for 45 minutes. When a knife inserted near the center came out clean, it was done. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately with whipped cream or refrigerate.)
This post is part of the First Saturday program at The Mary Baker Eddy Library, which is sponsoring a month-long look at 19th-century foodways.

It really was a spectacular day and it was Paul and his staff who made it so special. I truly beleive that we would never have had such a magical day if it was not for Paul and his staff. Thank You sooo much everyone.
