Tavern: Western Food
The restuarant is situated in the town centre. It is a building on its own, very colonial, and cozy. The food served there is average but the environment and atmosphere is great. It is affordable too although it is considered expensive in that area.

MIMI Taman Strawberi and Kafe: Strawberry Tea
If you asked me, there's only one decent joint in the whole of Fraser's Hill for cheap, inexpensive food. Mimi's strawberry cafe serves decent nasi ayam and delicious drinks. My favourite is their teh-o-strawberry ( Strawberry Black tea. RM1.50) . Somehow, it never occured to me that fresh strawberries can lend a sweet scent and taste to tea! I'll try doing the same thing when I'm back home.
Ye Olde Smokehouse, Fraser's Hill: Tea and Scones at a Quaint Inn
What:Devonshire Cream Tea
Were:Ye Olde Smokehouse, Pahang, Malaysia
There's something about having traditional English tea at Ye Olde Smokehouse. Everything looks damm good on white procelain and the silver tiffin, doesn't it? Well, it was as delicious as it looked. The devonshire cream, the butter and the strawberry jam went really well with the buttery scones and the ooh, so fragrant Earl Grey Tea. My friends thought the same too,they finished this delicious tea in seconds after this picture was taken! Guess birding can really make you work up an appetite.
P/S The tea and scones came in a set and cost about RM$20. I thought it was a tad expensive by local standards, delicious though it may be.
TIP:Have your tea al freco in the garden. You can look out for sunbirds while having tea.
Ye Olde Smokehouse Hotel and Restaurant
One out of three Smokehouse Restaurants is actually located at Bukit Fraser. It's a great place for both breakfast and dinner. I personally have not taken lunch here, but I believe it should be of great experiences just like my breakfasts and dinners here.
Breakfast at Ye Olde Smokehouse Hotel and Restaurant is always all-time high on my wish list and I prefer to have them in the small garden with morning sunlight shine a little on my face in somewhat still chill morning air.
At night, it's nice to enjoy your nicely done steak with a glass of wine by the fireplace. The English countryside setting at the waiting and dinning area is something I enjoy the most after driving in thick fogs searching for Smokehouse for my fine dines whenever I visited Fraser.
Evening fog may build up really fast after dark. It will be good if you've driven pass Smokehouse in the day so that you'll find the restaurant easier in thick fog. I normally like to use my fog lamp here because I hardly have chance to use them driving in KL.

roadside stall at the gap: delicious stop
this is a little stall by the road just a short distance away from the gap.. we stumbled upon it while waiting for the gate to open for us to drive up..
Favorite Dish: the roti canai smelled so good we couldn't resist trying.. and it's absolutely delicious!! perfect snack while waiting.. or even if you're not waiting!
We heard of this chinese restaurant on Fraser Hill selling the best Laksa. The restaurant is just at Fraser entrance point, where your car pass the Fraser gate.
However, after the trek, may be a bit too late.. the laksa was sold out.
Gap House: Lousy Food, Lousy Service
Service not good, no food, no choice, bread and drink is the only choice we have. Then we order Kopi which are not nice, and a over burn bread....!! Dont eat there!! WARNING!! and it cost RM2.00 per piece of over burn bread! shhhhhhhhh....
restaurant hillview: only chinese restaurant..
this is the only chinese restaurant in frasers.. but then again they do serve western food as well.. and surprisingly, the western is better!!
Favorite Dish: the lamb chops are good.. and fried rice is not.. :)
Arzed @ Frasers: One of not-so-many restaurants
There are not many restaurants available here.In fact there are only a few restaurants in this whole place.The food served is quite nice and the price are reasonable if not cheap.
Local Food
The menu looks good. The restuarant is just along the road, facing the green golf course. It's cozy there. However, it only opens in the evenings.

I took my lunch at the restaurant my my Wife. It's only 'Nasi Campur' with chicken and fish plus 2cup of tea. My goodness the bil is RM31.00. I got shock. I just paid and walk away. I hope Perbadanan Kemajuan Bukit Fraser will look this matter.

Debts Paid, Expenses Cut, Chili's Parent Is Cooking
The recession forced Brinker International, EAT 0.72 % parent of Chili's Grill & Bar, to go on a diet. The company has sold off divisions and paid down debt.
Step two: Stabilize revenue and boost operating margins by four percentage points by cutting costs and becoming more efficient.
If management can hit its targets, earnings at the Dallas-based restaurant company could rise by more than 10% a year, kicking off happy hour for shareholders.
Howard Penney, managing director and analyst at Hedgeye Risk Management, thinks Brinker (EAT) could climb to $24 a share, from under $20, over the next 12 months.
Analysts expect Brinker to earn about $122 million, or $1.34 a share, in the fiscal year ending June 2011, up 14% from the prior fiscal year, and toward the lower end of management's targeted range of 10% to 20% profit growth. For fiscal 2012, analysts expect earnings of $1.65 a share.
Over the past two years, Brinker has sold an 80% stake in Romano's Macaroni Grill and sold the On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina franchise. Proceeds helped reduce the company's net debt to $197 million, from $743 million in 2007.
Chairman and Chief Executive Doug Brooks is now focused on boosting profit margins that have lagged the industry. He's simplifying the Chili's menu, updating the kitchens and revamping work practices.
Among the most dramatic of the company's innovations is replacing Chili's grills with high-end ovens. "It will allow them to upgrade the menu, offer new products and cut labor," says Mr. Penney. With the new ovens, a restaurant that once had six chefs will now need three.
Not everything is rosy, however. Brinker recently lost its longtime finance chief, Charles Sonsteby, to privately held retailer Michaels Stores. And sales at restaurants open at least a year remain depressed, falling 3.4% in the latest quarter from the year-earlier period.
But Brinker doesn't need much growth to improve its bottom line. The company's targets assume same-store sales will be flat or down 2% in fiscal 2011, but earnings will grow due to margin improvement and stock repurchases. Adding to the stock's appeal: a dividend yield of about 3%.
In all, Brinker shares may prove to be a tasty morsel.

Philadelphia (5-8) at Washington (3-9)
Philadelphia 76ers coach Eddie Jordan will be provided with a stark reminder of the one-year anniversary of his firing by Washington.
That day is Tuesday, when the Wizards host the Sixers in a matchup of slumping - and in Washington's case, bickering - teams.
Washington (3-9) parted ways with Jordan last Nov. 24 with the team off to a 1-10 start. He was in his sixth season with the Wizards, guiding them to four straight postseason appearances from 2005-08.
Jordan landed with Philadelphia (5-8) on June 1, signing a three-year contract. The 76ers have been inconsistent under his guidance, losing six of eight after a strong start.
Washington, though, certainly doesn't appear better off for having gotten rid of Jordan.
The Wizards finished an Eastern Conference-worst 19-63 after turning the team over to Ed Tapscott on an interim basis. They replaced Tapscott in April, signing Flip Saunders to a four-year, $18 million contract, but have lost eight of nine.
Washington fell 106-84 to San Antonio on Saturday night, a day after losing 127-108 to Oklahoma City, and the frustration is starting to show.
"Everyone's got their own individual goals, I guess. Hidden agendas," said Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas(notes), who made three All-Star appearances under Jordan. "You can't win like that. I guess when you start losing, everyone wants to start pointing fingers everywhere else. I converted my game to try and get people involved."
Arenas had 18 points and Antawn Jamison(notes) added 15 versus the Spurs, but Washington shot a season-low 33.3 percent. The Wizards have lost six games by double digits.
"We're very much in a bad situation," Saunders said. "A lot of guys are frustrated, including me."
To make matters worse, the Wizards could be without guard Mike Miller(notes) for a month after he strained his right calf in the first quarter. Miller, in his first season with Washington after being acquired from Minnesota in June, is averaging 9.8 points and 6.1 rebounds while shooting 56.5 percent (13 for 23) from 3-point range.
The Sixers also suffered a key injury when top reserve Marreese Speights(notes) partially tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee Nov. 14. Philadelphia has been missing the big man's 13.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
The Sixers were held to less than 100 points for the sixth straight game Saturday night, losing 97-91 to Cleveland. Still, they were much happier with that performance than their 102-97 loss to Memphis the previous day.
"Something that we do sometimes is kind of play to our level of competition," guard Andre Iguodala(notes) said.
Louis Williams(notes) continues to be a bright spot for the Sixers. Jordan made Williams a starter for the first time in his career this season, and the fifth-year guard has blossomed.
Williams averaged 23.0 points and 5.2 assists while shooting 54.1 percent over his last four games. He averaged 17.8 points in four games against Washington last season, helping Philadelphia sweep the series.
The Sixers have won six of the last seven meetings.

Tips On Buying Maternity Clothes Online
During pregnancy, going out for shopping may be the last thing on a woman's mind pregnancy is a time when a woman can become irritated by the slightest provocation. To avoid a lot of irritation that occurs during pregnancy Clothes have to be comfortable and clean. For pregnant woman,, instead of going out to shop, they could so online. There are many stylish maternity jeans that could be gotten online for very cheap prices. The following are some of the reasons why shopping online is better.
Cheaper prices
There are many online shops looking for attention from different customers. This includes shops that carry specific items for pregnant women. The availability of so many shops has also meant that shops have to compete for the attention of customers. This also means that the shops have to come up with different prices if they intend to retain most of their clientele.
Wider variety
By shopping online women can get access to a wider variety of clothes at relatively affordable price. There will be no issue of spending hours working from one end of the high street to another. The only thing a woman needs when shopping online is time to be able to browse through the different websites. When time is not a determining factor, a woman can spend a much time as she can selecting these jeans and other maternity wears.
Instant price comparison
When buying online, it becomes easier to compare prices across stores in just a few minutes. Every time a woman gets a price for some clothes they are trying to buy, they could use price comparison to check the correctness of the price. This may seem like wasting a lot of time but this time wasted may reflect in huge savings in money.
Shopping online for maternity wears such as stylish maternity dress does not require a fixed time. Most shops accept orders on a twenty four hours basis which means that people can shop anytime they want during the day. However, although these shops may accept orders on a twenty four hours basis, orders will mostly be processed during working hours.
Access to reviews
A good reason to buy online is the ability to get store reviews from past customers. Customers that have used a particular online shop before may leave feedback on the shops website or at relevant forums. This can help in choosing the online shop to use when buying online.
While working around the cons of buying online there are some disadvantages as well that includes:
Not being able to physically appreciate the maternity wear. This could lead to the purchase of poor quality goods
The risk of being cheated by fraudsters who may make use of bad quality of fabric.
Total cost of the purchase may not be immediately obvious as charges for shipping are not always added upfront.
When buying maternity wears like stylish maternity jeans online, there is always a possibility that the privacy of the individual can be compromised.

By Julian Hattem - 03/25/14 07:49 PM EDT
The Obama administration and top lawmakers on Tuesday took steps to rein in the National Security Agency's telephone surveillance program.
Leaders of the House Intelligence Committee unveiled legislation that would end the NSA's bulk collection and storage of telephone metadata but would allow the government to get the same information from telephone companies with a warrant.
The moves will not end the debate over the contested program, and the new bill is just one of many aiming to reform the spy agency, but the twin efforts are a sign that Washington is coalescing to create a path forward.
"We think that we have found a way to end the government's bulk collection of telephone metadata and still provide a mechanism to protect the Untied States and track those terrorists who are calling into the United States to commit acts of terror," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said on Tuesday.
Both the House Intel bill and the administration's reported reforms would require phone companies to continue to retain records, but not beyond the 18 months allowed under law. The NSA currently holds onto the phone data for five years, and civil liberties advocates and telecoms firms alike had opposed any new mandate on companies.
The bill from Rogers and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), the panel's ranking member, would not require a court order before agents can search for records about a specific phone number. Instead, it would have the court approve procedures to collect the records and have a "prompt review" after federal agents grab the records. Those found to have been improperly collected would be expunged.
Civil libertarians said the lack of a requirement that officials obtain a court order before searching records could be a deal-breaker for them.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.), the original author of the Patriot Act and a vocal critic of the existing program, called the Intelligence bill "convoluted" and warned it would not end bulk collection of people's phone records.
The White House has yet to offer its proposal, but a New York Times report on Monday night said it would require government officials to get a court order to obtain records connected to a specific phone number.
Obama, speaking at a press conference in the Netherlands, said he was confident it would offer protections from terrorism "in a way that addresses some of the concerns that people had raised."
The Obama administration's plan was met favorably by supporters of reform in Washington, who said it amounted to a victory for their position.
"For years and years the executive branch denied that this was a problem. And the three of us, and millions of Americans, said not so fast," said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who spoke with reporters alongside Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.), all of whom have been critics of the NSA.
"And what the White House has said in the last 24 hours is they now agree with us and the American people."
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who has backed more modest NSA reforms, also offered support for the House bill.
"I have said before that I am open to reforming the call records program as long as any changes meet our national security needs and address privacy concerns, and that any changes continue to provide the government with the means to protect against future terrorist attacks," she said in a statement.
Others worried that the administration was only agreeing to limitations on phone records, not other information the NSA collects.
"The significance of the plan really depends on the details, which have not yet fully been made public, but I applaud this effort to rationalize and restrict the excessively broad collection of personal data," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told The Hill.
The NSA program collects details about the numbers people dial as well as the frequency and duration of their calls, but not the content of people's conversations.
Obama called for reforms to the NSA's controversial phone records program in January, and ordered Attorney General Eric Holder and top intelligence agency heads to develop a path forward by this Friday, when the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court will need to reauthorize the program.
The administration's effort would need congressional approval to become law.
Until Congress acts, the White House will ask the intelligence court to renew the program as it currently exists, a senior administration official said.
The multiple parallel efforts could help move the process along, some proponents of reforming the NSA said.
"It's the opening part of an ongoing process that will continue, I think, in both the House and the Senate over the next couple of months," said one tech industry lobbyist, who added that it opens up a discussion on what can and can't be done.
Kate Tummarello and Jeremy Herb contributed.

Re: My new MSI Gaming gtx 770
actually found out it was my motherboard with the gtx 770 and not the power supply. I also couldn't get my brother's gtx 560 to work on my motherboard (see sig) either with the same symptoms. So, by chance, I set the motherboard to factory defaults.reset the pc, and then back to my settings and the gtx 560 worked fine. So, for some reason, gtx 700 series cards need this bios change on my motherboard for them to work until now. Fortunately, ASUS made a bios update for pci-e board compatibility about a week ago (late july 2013)and my gtx 760 (read my thread on gtx 760 coming soon) went in without a hitch meaning no fussing with the bios. Actually more happy with a gtx 760 since I can sli them for cheaper and better performance than a gtx 780.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Recent Changes in the Regulatory Landscape 2011 marked a major shift in the regulatory environment, as the SEC adopted rules for implementing the Dodd-Frank Act. Many changes to Investment Advisers Act were authorized by Title IV of the Dodd-Frank Act.
- Differences Between State and SEC Regulation of Investment Advisors States may impose licensing or registration requirements on IARs doing business in their jurisdiction, even if the IAR works for an SEC-registered firm. States may investigate and prosecute fraud by any IAR in their jurisdiction, even if the individual works for an SEC-registered firm.
Final passage by the Senate of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 is expected by Wednesday evening. By a vote of 83-15, the Senate agreed in a procedural vote on Monday to advance the tax package to a final vote, which was initially expected on Dec. 14.
In comments after the Senate vote, President Barack Obama said that he was pleased to announce that the "Senate is moving forward on a package of tax cuts that has strong bipartisan support. This proves that both parties can in fact work together to grow our economy and look out for the American people."
Obama went on to say that he's been talking with members of the House and that he recognized "that folks on both sides of the political spectrum are unhappy with certain parts of the package, and I understand those concerns. I share some of them. But that's the nature of compromise -- sacrificing something that each of us cares about to move forward on what matters to all of us. Right now, that's growing the economy and creating jobs. And nearly every economist agrees that that is what this package will do."
The House is expected to finish work on the bill--including possible amendments, particularly to the estate tax provision--by the end of the week. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D.-Md., said in comments on Monday that both the House Ways and Means and Rules committees would consider the bill before it comes to the House floor.

by Charles Jenkins, Writer, Commentator and former Director of Western Europe Country Analysis, Economist Intelligence Unit, London. The EU's crisis has as much to do with leadership and solidarity as resolving fiscal and debt problems. It is time to dispense with caricatures and write the next chapter in the EU's ongoing history. And for that, clear and transparent data will be needed.
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría offers his congratulations and well wishes to representatives of the European Union on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for 2012.
Secretary-General Angel Gurría outlines the crucial actions that we must take to resolve the euro crisis, strengthen the global financial system and anchor growth in the long-term through structural reform at the 30th anniversary of the International Institute of Finance in Tokyo.
OECD Secretary-General stresses the need to keep on working on structural reforms and to address inequality and rebuild trust at the OECD Debate at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
English, PDF, 471kb
The relative earnings premium for those with a tertiary education increased in most EU21 countries over the past ten years, indicating that the demand for more educated individuals still exceeds supply.
OECD Secretary-General assesses the employment challenges facing Europe and the policy responses urgently needed to put the continent back on a path of jobs-rich growth, at the Employment Policy Conference in Brussels.
Europe is putting in place a new system of fiscal rules following the euro area sovereign debt crisis and decades of rising government to debt-to-GDP ratios. These include the so-called "six pack" to upgrade the Stability and Growth Pact to a new Treaty incorporating the "fiscal compact".
The European Union is a major player in global development, co-ordinating coherent actions amongst its 27 member states and providing direct support to developing countries. Total net ODA by all 27 EU member states was USD 73.6 billion in 2011. Grants by EU institutions totalled USD 12.6 billion.
Across OECD countries some 83 million people suffer from diabetes. On current trends, that will rise to almost 100 million by 2030.
Euro area finance ministers meeting this week need to boost the firepower of the European stability funds to at least one trillion euros in order to restore market confidence, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría said today.

Whenever a disruptive technology arrives on the scene those who are threatened usually respond with anger and derision.
From the Luddite machine breakers of the early 1800s to Steve Ballmer's cheery dismissal of the iPhone, such reactions are commonplace. The outcome, though, is usually the same, as the disruptive ground-breaking technology continues to thrive and the older system struggles.
So, with this short revisionist history lesson, let us turn our gaze to the streets of London where on Wednesday afternoon black cab drivers staged a protest against taxi app Uber, claiming it is unfairly muscling in on their patch.
The cabbies say that because Uber allows unlicensed, untrustworthy individuals to run their cars as private hire vehicles, they are not only putting the public at risk but breaking the law by using a meter to calculate journey costs.
Transport for London referred the situation to the High Court as it said it wasn't sure whether an app generating a fee for a journey did represent an infringement of this law, but the cabbies are protesting anyway.
This means that streets across the capital have been gridlocked, causing mayhem for millions.
You wait all day for a taxi, then 80 come along at once #uber pic.twitter.com/ipd6CXuuHd
— Jess Shankleman (@JessicaBG) June 11, 2014
The timing of the protest was seized on by Uber for a fairly nifty piece of marketing, as it announced that its service can now incorporate black cabs, so that those seeking the nearest vehicle could end up in a traditional Hackney Carriage.
Whether black cabs want to be included on the service remains to be seen, as judging by today's protests they may well choose to have nothing to do with it in the future. Those who willingly reject the offer could well end up regretting it, though, if history does indeed repeat itself.
With some reports that downloads of the app have increased 850 percent as a result of the protest, the taxi brigade could have inadvertently started their own demise. Time will tell.

As the world commemorates the bravery and sacrifices made by the Allied soldiers and airborne troops who took part in Operation Overlord 70 years ago today, the technology that made much of the invasion possible has also been celebrated.
BT, then the Post Office and a public organisation, was instrumental in laying a telecoms network right along the south coast of the UK and then over the Channel and on into Europe as the Allied forces marched towards victory.
BT head of heritage and archives David Hay explained more: "Preparations for the Normandy invasion required the laying of a new network of hundreds of miles of cable as well as the installation of switchboards, telephones and teleprinters at numerous points along the south coast of England.
"Once the invasion was under way, new cross-Channel cables were laid and, by VE-Day, Post Office engineers had made direct communication possible by telephone or teleprinter to all allied forces in north-west Europe."
These efforts even earned the praise of General Eisenhower, supreme commander of allied forces in Europe, who wrote:
The build up of the necessary forces for the current operations has involved the construction of a vast network of communications radiating from key centers of vital importance in the United Kingdom. The greater part of this work has been undertaken by the engineers and staff of the General Post Office.
As well as this vital work, the Post Office also played an instrumental role in helping the Allied forces gather knowledge of the Nazi's plans, thanks to the Colossus computer.
It was developed by telecoms research engineer Tommy Flowers, working at the Dollis Hill research station, now BT's Adastral Park research laboratories. The computer first sprang to life on 5 February 1944 when it was let loose on messages that had been sent by German units and encrypted using the Lorenz machine.
The Colossus could read 5,000 characters a second, far in advance of anything else available at that time, and this meant it could take just four hours for it to find the first key in a code, the most important part in any code-breaking.
By the end of the war, it is estimated that Colossus had deciphered 63 million characters of German messages, helping shorten the war and save countless lives. Despite this, its existence was kept secret for 30 years after the war.

Given that skies full of dark, forbidding rain clouds make up the majority of British summers, finding the weather to go out and visit some of the country's cultural and historical sites can be pretty rare.
But with the announcement that popular tourist destinations will be added to Street View in Google Maps, sightseers will not need to wait for the sun to make an appearance before they can glimpse the majestic ruins of Byland Abbey (pictured above), for example.
Google has added famous destinations ranging from grand historical structures such as Alnwick Castle and Gardens, through to renowned racecourses including Epson Downs and Newmarket (below).
In order to fill Google Maps with 3D views of these tourist hotspots, the search giant needed to look beyond using its traditional Street Views cars as it had to get up close to some of the UK's most popular attractions without damaging treasured parts of British heritage or alarming bemused onlookers.
So, working with partners, Google used a combination of trekker backpacks and trollies to capture many of the various sights and vistas of Britain, making them viewable on the screens of PCs, tablets and smartphones through its same Street View interface.
Now Google maps users can effectively tour the sights of Britain without even leaving the comfort of their own homes.
Plus, with virtual reality technology becoming more of a reality, thanks to the Oculus Rift and Sony Project Morpheus headset hardware, perhaps this could this be the end of real-world tourism?

The Bletchley Park Trust is to fund an educational 'Turing Education Officer' role at its site in Milton Keynes and will support teaching experiences for young and disadvantaged children.
This is the third such position created at the Trust in the past two years, and the organisation said that it could afford to fund the role for three years. This latest hire, once installed, will work on educational efforts for primary school children and disadvantaged and special needs students.
According to the park people, Bletchley's code breaking pedigree is just one facet of the experience.
"Bletchley Park is about so much more than a museum. Of course, what was done at Bletchley Park by Alan Turing and others is of huge importance," said Sir John Dermot Turing, Bletchley Park Trustee.
"One part of Bletchley Park's mission is to use the achievements of the codebreakers to stimulate school students and complement the formal STEM curriculum in an interesting and relevant way.
"The education team at Bletchley has been hugely successful in this. In fact, so successful that the schools programme has been sold out many months in advance for the last few years.
"All this is why the Turing family has been very pleased to support the creation of a new post in the Education Department at Bletchley Park, called the Turing Education Officer.
"We think this is a very fitting tribute to Alan Turing's contribution here at Bletchley and something which we hope he would himself have been keen to support."
Bletchley says that it pulls in some 8,000 schoolchildren a year, and welcomes its place in science and technology learning. It added that it is looking to double the amount of young visitors.

Social network Twitter is offering its users a mute button that they can employ to filter out annoying people for a limited time, without having to unfollow them.
First to get the feature will be iPhone, Android and Twitter for Web users, who will now be able to silence tiresome users who perhaps post updates just a little too often.
"Today we're beginning to introduce a new account feature called mute to people who use our iPhone and Android apps and twitter.com. Mute gives you even more control over the content you see on Twitter by letting you remove a user's content from key parts of your Twitter experience," it said in a blogpost.
"In the same way you can turn on device notifications so you never miss a Tweet from your favorite users, you can now mute users you'd like to hear from less. Muting a user on Twitter means their Tweets and Retweets will no longer be visible in your home timeline, and you will no longer receive push or SMS notifications from that user."
The system sounds a lot like a block on another user, but one that will not apparently insult or offend the blocked person.
"The muted user will still be able to fave, reply to, and retweet your Tweets; you just won't see any of that activity in your timeline," added the firm. "The muted user will not know that you've muted them, and of course you can unmute at any time."
The feature will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks, according to Twitter.
With the World Cup just around the corner those who follows avid football fans could find it a major blessing to help avoid endless tweets about how games are unfolding, or those tweeting manically about the final of Britain's Got Talent, without offending friends or colleagues.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) posted an intriguing message on its Twitter account over the weekend, in a novel way to appeal to those who have an aptitude for cracking codes and ciphers.
Usually the NSA's careers Twitter account posts up short, bland opportunities for applications, but this one is very different.

It is very obviously a cipher, and looks a lot like one that uses substituted letters. The question mark is something of a clue and suggests that the NSA is happy to leave such hints.
There are various ways and means of cracking substitution ciphers and one of them is to start with the letter E - the most commonly used of English letter characters, and work back from that.
We can confirm that the advert is not actually a job ad, but is more of a knowing wink in the direction of people that like codes and ciphers, want a job with the NSA, and are not Edward Snowden. You can see the solution to the NSA code puzzle in this YouTube video.
Last year the UK agency GCHQ carried out a similar experiment to help it in its search for the next Alan Turing. At the time GCHQ's head of resourcing, Jane Jones, said that modern threats require new ways of finding talented people to help crack complex codes.
"We want employees who have evolved with the ever-changing digital world and therefore have the right skills to combat these challenges," she said at the time. "It's a puzzle but it's also a serious test - the jobs on offer here are vital to protecting national security."
A much-maligned console flop of 1982 ET the Extra-Terrestrial video game, has been exhumed from its sandy grave and presented back to the world.
While ET the movie was a solid hit, the same could not be said of the Atari 2600 game that followed it. Slow, weak, confusing and frustrating, it was bought by punters but then quickly returned to stores. It was a massive unplayable flop and someone decided that the only way to deal with it would be to, literally, bury it and forget all about it.
Some people did not forget it, though, and since those dark days of digging and dumping game fans have been searching for the missing movie tie-in.
Fuel Entertainment, an entertainment company, was first to act, and this weekend it finally broke ground in New Mexico at the appointed site in Alamogordo having announced its plans to do so last year.
Mike Burns, CEO of Fuel Entertainment, said at the time: "ET was one of the first video games based on a licensed property, and one of the earliest and most poignant examples of mass over-hyping in digital entertainment."
Now the dig is dug and the earth has thrown up copy after copy of the 22-year-old title. We do not know if the games are playable – if they ever truly were – but there are apparently reams of them.
The dig has been filmed for a documentary that is directed by Zak Penn, who co-wrote the script for X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand and he produced photos from the excavation on Twitter.
Check it out. pic.twitter.com/e7R8rdw3GX

The documentary will be released later this year.
This is not the first earthy reveal of the year, and back in February a Steve Jobs time capsule, which included an old mouse of his, was uncovered.

You will also help manage the V3 brand on numerous social media sites, so we're looking for someone with an affinity for Twitter, Google+ and the next big thing in social.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to take on their first full-time role in journalism or making their next step on the career ladder onto an online, well-established tech brand, with plenty of scope for growth, development, training and fun too. Ideally you will already have some practical experience of working as a technology journalist, either through your current role, work experience or freelance.
Salary: DOE.
Deadline: 23 May 2014
To apply, please email a covering letter and CV to news editor Dan Worth.

C.J. McCollum wears a smile as he practices free-throws wearing a boot on his left foot and sitting on a chair during the Trail Blazers practice in Tualatin.
But, it's no secret that it isn't the way he envisioned practicing with his teammates.
"It's actually funny, I actually walked," said McCollum when explaining what happened after the play he later found out he broke his foot on. "I walked to the shower, took a shower, walked to get the x-ray, got the x-ray. Then I just waited for the news."
The news, which was announced by the Blazers on the afternoon of October 5th, was that McCollum had broken the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.
McCollum broke the same bone in January during his senior year at Lehigh. The break did not affect the integrity of the screw placed in his foot, he says.
However, he says is unsure whether he's more vulnerable for another break.
C.J. came in to contribute right away as a back-up guard who could play both guard positions. He said he was ready to earn his stripes.
If he were to develop well, the hope would be that he and Damian Lillard could form a young, dynamic starting backcourt for the future. With McCollum still on his rookie deal and Lillard on his rookie deal for one more after this year, it would be cost-effective as well, which is important under the salary cap and harsh luxury tax penalties in the new collective bargaining agreement.
"It's very disappointing," he told the media on October 6th, the day the Trail Blazers played in Fan Fest.
He vowed to come back on that day and said he would draw on his past experience to be more mentally prepared.
Ten days after he spoke to the media about what he would do next, he underwent a non-operative ultrasound procedure to repair the broken bone in his foot.
The procedure, the Blazers said, is designed to promote bone growth. So, McCollum did not have to go under the knife.
Now McCollum says that he has no noticeable swelling and that he is doing some upper body workouts while getting his cardio activity done in the pool. While the team comes out to play the Sacramento Kings, McCollum is getting his weight room work in.
"Game days I usually lift when they are about to go out and take the court," he said. "Then I come out at the end of the first half or start of the second."
He says that he talks to his parents, his brother and is reading the bible.
"What can you do?," he adds.
But C.J. isn't letting it get to him too much.
"I don't expect people to feel sorry for me. My life is still fine, I still live a good life every day."
The doctor that did the procedure has a very high-profile client list including Derek Jeter, Hakeem Nicks and Golden State's Stephen Curry.
"He's the man, yeah," he said of his doctor.
For now, McCollum can only wait and try to stay in the best shape that he can until he is reevaluated.
Although he's hurt, McCollum still has to carry his Minnie Mouse backpack like all of the other rookies have to do.
McCollum, who carries two different right shoes in his Minne backpack, is at least embracing his situation from a style perspective.
"The only problem with the boot is that it wrinkles up my pants and jeans a little bit," he said. "So, now I just don't iron them or anything."
McCollum, while in the boot, is taking his less-than desirable situation in stride.
While he travels with his teammates and can't workout on the court with them, McCollum is "continuing to learn."
He's still able to laugh and he's still able to be around the team.
But the biggest and most important lessons he can learn when it comes to earning his stripes in the league as a lottery pick can't be learned on the practice court.
They are the ones that are learned under the lights against James Harden or Kyrie Irving, or Dwyane Wade.
The peak at a possible backcourt of the future for the Blazers is on hold for now.
McCollum speaks a truism that the Blazers and their fans have learned all too well in their recent history.
"You can never know what will happen in this game," he said.
