Tim Cook says that Microsoft is copying Apple's strategy
You know that saying of eating your own words? It looks like Tim Cook is going to get very full, very soon. Apple CEO, Tim Cook, sat down with Bloomberg Businessweek, enjoying a joint interview with head of design, Jony Ive and software chief Craig Federighi.
One of the topics discussed was Microsoft's recent acquisition of Nokia's Devices and Services division, where Tim Cook said "everybody is trying to adopt Apple's strategy. We're not looking for external validation of our strategy, but I think it does suggest that there's a lot of copying, kind of, on the strategy and that people have recognized that importance."
Ironically, Cook says that everyone should have their eyes on Nokia, as he thinks that the company is the perfect example "to everyone in business that you have to keep innovating and that to not innovate is to die."

Nokia's Stephen Elop will receive a $25.4 million payout
Nokia's Stephen Elop will receive a very nice paycheck as soon as the acquisition of Nokia is completed by Microsoft. Elop will reportedly cash in to the tune of $25.4 million as payout for stepping down as the CEO when Microsoft announced that it would be buying Nokia.
The pay will include cash and early vesting of stock awards with Nokia only being responsible for 30 percent of the value. Microsoft will be taking care the remaining 70 percent and will see Elop transfer over to Microsoft and head up its Devices and Services business when the deal closes. That is, however, if Elop is not chosen to fill Steve Ballmer's seat when he retires later this year.
The end is near as BlackBerry prepares to lay off 40% of workforce
A new report out today from the Wall Street Journal suggest that BlackBerry is in the midst of planning a massive layoffs the could see up to 40% of its workforce lose their jobs. This new report comes just hours after the company launched its new five-inch smartphone, the Z30.
The layoffs would reportedly come before the year's end , and would most likely finalized during the middle of the holiday season. The Wall Street Journal says that thousands of employees will likely lose their jobs in the cut, and that the layoffs will span across the entire company. BlackBerry seemingly confirmed the rumor when it told the Wall Street Journal, "Organizational moves will continue to occur to ensure we have the right people in the right roles to drive new opportunities in mobile computing."

EA's new CEO is an Aussie, no shrimps on EA's barbie, though
Former executive VP of EA Sports, Andrew Wilson, has just stepped into the shoes of the company's CEO position. Wilson took to EA's official website, breaking the news himself, and took some time to discuss EA's future.
He said: "From my start at EA in Australia back in 2000, through stops in Asia, Europe and now North America, I've worked with people in this company who have consistently amazed and inspired me. It's my passion for our people and the great products we all impact that gives me such excitement for our future. I hope you all feel the same level of energy and optimism that I do as we embark on this journey together."
Wilson believes that the path EA is currently walking, is the right one, which includes exploring online gaming, digital revenue streams and continuing to make high-quality AAA games, such as Battlefield 4. One of his additional goals is to instill "a culture of execution that will drive profitable growth."

Microsoft starts off the day with a $40 billion share buyback program
Early this morning just before Wall Street opened for trading, Microsoft announced that it would be buying back $40 billion of its own stock as well as increasing its quarterly dividend by 22 percent. This announcement comes on the heels of the company's previous $40 billion buyback program that will expire at the end of this month.
Microsoft said that its quarterly dividend will rise to $0.28 per share, which is up from the $0.23 per share it paid last quarter. Unlike the last buyback initiative, there is no expiration date for the new program, which means the buyback could take a while to complete. Shortly after the announcement, Microsoft stock opened about $0.60 per share higher than at closing on Monday at about $32.75 per share. At the time of this writing, it is down to about $33 per share, which is an increase of 0.7 percent over its closing numbers Monday, and is actually lower than what the stock closed at on Friday.
Google acquires mobile startup Bump for $30 million
Today, the tech startup Bump announced that it has been acquired by Google in what industry analysts say is a deal worth between $30 million and $60 million. Bump was the first app that allowed users to "bump" their iPhones together to automagically transfer files from one phone to the other.
The original app has been downloaded over 100 million times. In the years, the company has expanded to feature a group photo sharing app called Flock. While the price tag of $30 million seems to be a home run for the company, it had already raised about $20 million from backers including Sequoia Capital, making the deal not so sweet.
"Bump and Flock will continue to work as they always have for now," Bump CEO David Lieb wrote in a blog post today. With the company now being owned by Google, it leaves many industry insiders to believe that we will see deep integration of Bump's IP into Android 5.0
"The Bump team has demonstrated a strong ability to quickly build and develop products that users love, and we think they'll be a great fit at Google," said a Google representative. Google declined to comment further on where it will integrate the Bump team at Google.

Mark Zuckerberg now worth $19 billion, now the 20th richest American
Mark Zuckerberg has once again reclaimed the number 20 spot on Forbes 400 Richest Americans list. He previously held the spot back in 2011 but fell to number 36 in 2012 after Facebook's IPO flopped. Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, the world's largest social network.
Last year, Zuckerberg's net worth was reported at $9.4 billion, but in the last year this figure has more than doubled with a newly reported net worth of $19 billion, which landed the number 20 spot on the Forbes list. This new wealth comes after Facebook stock has risen from an all time low of $17.55 in 2012 to an all time high of more than $45 per share last week.
Zuckerberg is among good company with Bill Gates taking the top spot at $72 billion, Jeff Bezos who is ranked number 12 with $27.1 million, and he pushes out Steve Ballmer who is now rated number 21 with a net worth of $18 billion. Other notables on the list include: Google's Larry page at $24.9 billion and his colleague Sergey Brin who is worth a mere $24.4 billion.
Samsung investing $500 million into new testing facility in China
It looks like Samsung is putting down $500 million to build a new testing facility in Xi'an, an industrial city in Northwest China. The new facility will see packaging and testing done under its roof, and is the South Korean giants latest investment in a string of investments for its future in the last couple of months.
The new facility will be built in the same city that Samsung built a $7 billion chip plant in last year, on top of the $1.7 billion it spent in 2012 on improving its operations in the manufacturing hub Kunshan. All of these steps that Samsung has made are all part of a $41.4 billion capital expansion that Samsung started last year. The electronics giant has seen gigantic success in the mobile devices segment, and is now packed with cash.
The company is using its flow of cash to invest in its future, which we're constantly seeing. In its Chinese supply chain network, Samsung has over 250 manufacturers, which is definitely saying something. The new factory will begin construction in January next year, and should be finished by the end of 2014.
The Windows Phone Store now sees over 9 million daily transactions
Microsoft isn't seeing game-changing success with its Windows Phone platform, but this might change in the years coming with its acquisition of Nokia's Device and Services division. In the meantime, the Redmond-based giant is enjoying a new milestone on its Windows Phone Store.
The Windows Phone Store now sees 9 million transactions per day, which is made up from a combination of app and in-app purchases. The news comes from WP Store General Manager, Todd Brix. If we extend it into per-month statistics, we're looking at around 270 million per month, which is an increase of 70 million more downloads per month when compared to the numbers in June. Things are about to change for the Windows Phone Store though.
You'll now start seeing more ads than you will see new ads, with Microsoft issuing unique device IDs to new advertising partners. These new UDIDs won't be linked to specific devices, and the company has said that it won't give out identifiable information. You can opt out of these targeted ads if you choose, by clicking here and having a poke around.
Netflix uses pirate sites to decide on which TV shows to purchase
According to Netflix's Vice President of Content Acquisition, Kelly Merryman, the company partly determines which shows it should buy based on the popularity of such shows on file-sharing platforms, which should come as quite the shock.
The video streaming company sees itself as one of the biggest competitors to pirate sites, where Netflix offers a subscription-based model, and pirate sites offering it for free. But, while the pirate sites may offer it for free and make money from ads and other sources, Netflix uses these sites to gain information on which shows are popular, which helps them decide on which content they should acquire for their ever-growing base of customers.
This week, the video streaming giant rolled out its Netflix service to the Netherlands, with Merryman stating: "With the purchase of series, we look at what does well on piracy sites." Mellyman used Prison Break as a prime example, saying that Netflix acquired the rights to the Wentworth Miller starring prison drama because it is heavily pirated locally. Netflix CEO, Reed Hastings, even commented, saying that the company is aware that people download content without permission through pirate sites.
He does add though, that this isn't all bad, because it also creates business for Netflix: "Certainly there's some torrenting that goes on, and that's true around the world, but some of that just creates the demand. Netflix is so much easier than torrenting. You don't have to deal with files, you don't have to download them and move them around. You just click and watch ."

The Arizona Diamondbacks have sold the rights of right handed pitcher Brad Bergesen to the Chunichi Dragons. The Dragons play in Japan's Central League and will welcome the 27-year-old who has appeared in 102 games for the Diamondbacks and Baltimore Orioles. Bergesen has a 4.61 ERA in the major leagues to go along with a 1.39 ERA and a 19-25 record. Claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks, Bergesen appeared in relief for 19 games last season. He had a 3.64 ERA during his stay with the Diamondbacks. His age makes a return to the major leagues possible.

CONGO (BRAZZAVILLE): Addressing Low Access to Reproductive Health for Indigenous Women
IRIN reported on 1 March on indigenous women's difficult access to reproductive health services. A joint Health Ministry/UNFPA study on indigenous people's reproductive health reports that only 4% of indigenous women give birth in health centres, against 94% for other women. 37% indigenous women attend antenatal care, while 94% of other women do. UNFPA Representative David Lawson explains that poverty, lack of education, lack of access to health services are major problems, and that comprehensive culturally-sensitive reproductive health care services, including family planning adapted to the needs of indigenous peoples, can make a difference. An emergency action plan (2013-2014) is being developed by government, the UN and indigenous peoples to address these and other such critical issues. Read in English: IRIN

Home Launches, Keeps Us Up At Night
Given that I'm from the majestic, apparently spacious-sky-ed nation of Amercia, I should probably be sleeping right now. Alas, however, I face a dilemma: I really want to play Home. As in, right now. It's freshly available for a pithy $2.00/£1.39, and ' between a frantic, senses-strangling trailer and a fantastic fictional Twitter account ' it absolutely nailsthe nauseating air of mystery that makes it impossible to look away from great horror flicks ' even though you really, really want to.
So then, what's with all this MRI business? What happened to the main character's significant other? My brain is sitting in the front row of my skull, eagerly awaiting answers. It's incredibly painful. But I'm also kind of a giant wuss, and scary things make me turn lights on. So then, to sleep or not to sleep ' Home is the question. While I deliberate, here's this part-live-action (they're all the rage) launch trailer.

All the latest news and other good stuff is on the blog: helsbyrunningclub.wordpress.com. Get involved! Join us for a club run every Wednesday, 6:30pm at the Helsby Community Sports Club, or Mondays for a quality session at the High School track (summer) or Castle Park (winter).
23 March: Everyone will receive an email shortly from our race partners at Fabian, explaining the refund process or how to donate your entry surplus to charity. We surveyed everyone who took part shortly after the race and the clear majority voted to keep the race in its traditional January slot (with the attendant risk of poor weather). Naturally we'll be doing what we can to avoid a repeat of 2015.
Race cancelled, sorry. We were defeated by the weather. Helsby will be in touch soon about what happens next. I know you'll have questions but please be patient, we're on it. A full refund won't be happening. Any refund is likely to be less than last time we were forced to cancel. Almost all of our costs have been incurred, many upfront. Last time we had 24h notice and many suppliers were superbly generous waiving or reducing invoices. We can't expect the same.
The weather that doomed us only came in around 10pm the night before and worse than forecast. We gritted the course during the night and on race morning. It didn't work. To a degree this is the deal you buy into when entering a rural half marathon in January. We're looking at options and looking for views on whether to move the date or keep it as the traditional start to the road season and a reason to stay fit over Xmas.
[Feb 6] Race entrants were invited to vote on keeping the date or moving to later in the year — results were strongly in favour of keeping the January date. Thanks for your input!
Many thanks for your understanding and kind comments. We spoke to numerous people who'd been on the course, all were supportive and most said 'fine for a run, but absolutely not for a race'. Right call from the police. Sorry!

The 2015 results are now up. The lost property is listed in the results too. I've written a short report about the event with a few photos in it. There are more photos on the web, and we'll add the rest soon. There are some blogs and photos up on the Delamere Spartans website too. Steve Roberts' blog - he had a hard time of it and didn't finish, but we hope he'll be back for another go next year. Nick Wishart's blog - Nick finished 5th this year. John Kleiser took some photos and a short video as well. More here.
Thanks all for coming! Thanks to all our racers, runners, joggers, supporters and organisers (sorry if you had to wait for your bag at the end!). Thanks for generally sharing a great day with us!

For the first time in our 32 year history we had to cancel our January Half Marathon because of treacherous snow and ice conditions. Many of our suppliers were incredibly generous in waiving their fees with just 24 hours notice of the cancellation, for which we thank them. Just as significant though were the individual small acts of kindness of our runners who chose to donate their refunds to charity.
Particular mention to our headline sponsor Essar, for their continued support for the race that never was — great to rely on them in these changing times.

2012 was another fabulous event. Thank you all for turning out and walking or running the entire Sandstone Challenge.

Last year we had stunning new male and female records from Duncan Harris and Caroline Hall, but of course it's not all about speed, as our happy walkers will attest. We're keen to keep this inclusive for anyone who can complete this challenging distance over the day and we split the entries evenly between runners and walkers.

A new study finds that anxiety, depression and smoking during teenage years can lead to osteoporosis or bone fractures in later life.The new study is the first to look at the long-term effects of smoking and depressive symptoms among adolescent girls and the potential postmenopausal impact of osteoporosis and bone fractures.Osteoporosis is a costly health problem. Although it is primarily evident in postmenopausal women, its roots can be traced to periods of growth, including adolescence. Experts estimate that 10 million Americans already have osteoporosis and an additional 34 million are at risk.

Digital Evidence Overview
Digital evidence. It builds trust between law enforcement and the community by demonstrating transparency. It aids prosecutors, imparts confidence in jurors, and highlights the professionalism of police officers and their agencies. And technological advancements like on-officer digital video evidence make police officers safer significantly reduce complaints against enforcement.
But digital evidence also comes with complexity and cost.
As digital evidence grows at exponential rates, it is critical for agencies to be prepared for increases in staffing, expertise, and technology costs. Agencies must also have up-to-date procedures for chain of custody, storage, security, archival, and access.
How can agencies focus on their core competency –to serve and protect their community- if they are dealing with the challenges and expense of digital evidence management and maintenance?
The future of digital evidence needs collaboration between key stakeholders. The Major County Sheriffs Association brings together technologists, agencies, and community leaders under one roof to share what works and what doesn't.

Rhizanthes lowii (Beccari) Harms (Rafflesia- ceae) is a parasitic plant that grows in the understory of the rainforest in South-East Asia. This plant does not have leaves, stems, or photosynthetic tissue and is characterised by the emission of a strong odour that attracts the natural pollinators, carrion flies. Flowers that volatilise odorous compounds and attract carrion flies, beetles and other insects are often thermogenic. Here we present evidence of both thermogenesis and thermoregulation in R. lowii from microclimate and tissue temperatures measured during different stages of flower development in R. lowii, in natural conditions in Brunei, Borneo. Endothermy was detected in young and mature buds as well as in blooming flowers and even in decaying tissues 3 or more days after blooming. Tissue temperatures were maintained at 7–9 K above air temperature, in both female and male flowers, at all stages of floral development.

From the Water to the Table | Fresh Seafood Catering | Tampa Bay
Posted on June 23rd, 2015 - Comments Off
At Good Food Catering Company we feel that it is important to support the community in which we work and live. We strive to buy local meat, seafood and produce of the highest quality and freshness. Our culinary team recently visited one of our local seafood purveyors to discuss fresh Gulf seafood and shop for a special lunch we hosted.
During our visit to Gulf Coast Seafood we were able to hand pick the snapper that would be used for one of the dishes at the luncheon. Knowing where our food comes from and how it is handled is important to our culinary team and to the clients that we serve.
The menu for the lunch featured:
Roasted Beet Salad
roasted beets paired with a bed of greens tossed with green goddess dressing | fig reduction | crumbled goat cheese
Pan Roasted Gulf Snapper
summer grilled succotash of corn, asparagus and heirloom tomatoes | romesco sauce | grilled scallions
Margarita Sorbet
liquid nitrogen chilled | candied lime zest
Journey from the Sea…
To the Table…
It would be great if we could buy only local products, but fresh is almost always best. Some of our other dishes using fresh caught seafood include: Tuna Tartar, Pan Seared Salmon over Roasted Vegetable Quinoa, Mini Pan Sautéed Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Key West "Ceviche," Asian Inspired Tuna Stack, and Southern Style Shrimp & Grits.
When you are looking to host a party, event or dinner where fresh seafood is important, give us a call!
Top 7 Catering Food Trends for 2015 – Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Lakeland
Posted on January 12th, 2015 - No Comments
In the Tampa Bay Catering food scene, we aim to be trend setters, not followers. As a small locally owned catering company, we cater over 100 full service events annually and speak with hosts and guests about what they love and what they want. Based on our future booked events and weddings and the conversations we have daily, we've compiled our top 7 food trends that we foresee this year for the Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Lakeland catering markets. Enjoy!
Popularity of lesser known cuts of meat – Teres Major (our bistro steak) is our pick for the best cut of beef in 2015. It's tender with a deep beef flavor that is perfect for marinating and grilling. We marinate our bistro steak for 24 hours, season, mark on a hot grill and then finish by roasting in the oven until medium rare. When sliced, it's a heavenly cut that pairs perfectly with our cilantro chimichurri or stands great on it's own.
Late night wedding snacks with personality – we've found that a guests' culinary experience at your wedding can be a direct reflection on you and your personality. Late night snacks have gained in popularity over the past couple of years in Tampa Bay weddings, but this is the year that they will explode with character. Food items customized and specifically tailored to the couple will be the year's hottest ticket.
New and Upscale Southern Food – In the past, Southern food might have earned a reputation for being hearty, simple and cheap. We've taken our love for grits to the next level and infused them with mascarpone cheese and just the right amount of cream and butter to make a heavenly accompaniment to slow smoked pork shoulder or lamb chops drizzled with a cabernet wine reduction.
Asian Street Food – One of our most popular new food stations is our Asian street food station, complete with action station chefs preparing favorites like lobster fried rice, pork belly fried rice, green curry ramen noodles or our fun Floribbean fusion fried rice. We've had the popular Pad Thai action station since 2008, but have recently seen a growth in interest in other styles of Asian street food, which helped us expand the possibilities and ideas.
Healthier and Lighter Dining – whether it is a corporate cocktail party or a wedding reception, we have found recently that hosts are becoming more and more health concious and aware that lighter eating is a trend on the rise. Based on our booked events for this year, we see healthy and light options appearing on menus at many of our events. Dishes like Roasted Vegetable Quinoa, Grilled Sweet Chili Seafood Skewers, Fava (or Lima) Beans, and Grilled Lean Beef with Romesco, fresh green salads and brussels sprouts are all making appearances this coming year.
Chef Composed Dishes and Action Stations (no more guest DIY)- our culinary focused action stations have the overall guest experience in mind. Gone are the days of "create your own" pasta or salad bars; your guests deserve a night off from the kitchen! Instead, we feel that designing several upscale composed dishes gives the guest the culinary experience of a top notch restaurant menu and less worry about getting it right.
More substance, less style – food is meant to be enjoyed and savored. If it tastes good, then it is good. We've found that many of our clients and guests are coming around to enjoying great food without the pretentiousness or show. Technique and flavor in food will shine, as diners have realized that flavor is more important than a pretty plate with unneeded garnish or flowers.
Innovative Corporate Event Catering (click for photos)
Posted on August 28th, 2009 - No Comments
Despite the doldrums of summer and being engulfed in the heat of a Florida August, Good Food Catering Company has been rather busy catering various events and parties in the Tampa Bay region. Although the event catering has kept us from regular blogging, I wanted to share a particular highlight in the corporate event catering branch of our company.
In early July we were contacted by a prominent Ybor City design and advertising firm with the possibility of catering an evening cocktail party mixer at their office, to be held in honor of one of their VIP clients. Because the firm wanted something different and unique, they felt Good Food would be the perfect fit to bring tasty and approachable food along with our unique and modern look. After a couple of proposal revisions and a committee decision, the firm chose us as the top Tampa caterer to be a part of their event.
Since the event was for nearly 100 guests and held in a confined office setting, we used three unique tablescapes, strategically placed throughout the office along with a full bar setup by uDream Events in the main foyer. As an added touch and creative twist, we used the firm's logo and colors as a template for a portion of the food signage and designs. The summer environment also gave us another opportunity to utilize wheatgrass for a light and refreshing "pop."
The menu was designed to be refreshing and approachable party food that was easy to eat but also heavy enough to mix with an afternoon and evening of cocktails. Check out the menu (followed by photos):

And for a visual:
If you're a corporate event planner in the Tampa Bay region and you're looking for unique and fun food for your next event or Holiday party, give us a call to discuss having us cater it. And don't forget about our innovative style! 813.731.0819.
Shrimp & Andouille Pasta… Almost Famous
Posted on March 19th, 2009 - No Comments
Yesterday I had the pleasure to visit with Staci Mandikas of Unique Event Design and learn about how she utilizes both classic and cutting edge designs to make every event and wedding "unique." I had originally met her at the Davis Island Garden Club bridal show a couple of weeks ago and wanted to spend some time getting to know more about her and the services she offers for for her clients in the Tampa Bay region. In the process of checking out her website, I stumbled upon the fact the she hails from New Orleans, which gave us a few fun things to talk about. It also gave me the opportunity to introduce her to my signature dish, Shrimp and Andouille Pasta.
When my wife and I began dating, I probably originally won her over through my cooking and my use of cream sauces, good seafood and of course, sausage. When I was developing some dishes, I combined the three and ended up with one of my signature dishes. It became so popular that it was being requested by many of my friends for every dinner party I threw. And believe it or not, the media came calling.
Many of you know that I moved here as a result of Hurricane Katrina. But you may not know that for many years, I wrote a blog about New Orleans food and culture. It wasn't long after moving to Tampa that I was featured in a story for the New York Times and later the St. Pete Times. A couple of months later I was contacted by a talent agency in New York City and was asked to submit some cooking videos for use on Yahoo Food. I had nothing to lose, so I sent them two videos – one about the New Orleans Style Bloody Mary and the other one? You guessed it, Shrimp and Andouille Pasta.
The video never made me famous, but I had a lot of fun making it. I can't bring myself to watch the video, but for posterity, it is still found online even today. Fortunately you're still able to see it and can pretty easily re-create my signature dish. And if you are hiring us to cater your next Tampa Bay event or wedding, we'll be happy to serve it for you and your guests. (The only difference is that in our catering operation we use penne pasta instead of the linguine that I would use at home.) You can check out the video above and feel free to email me for a copy of the recipe for our soon-to-be famous Shrimp and Andouille Pasta. Enjoy!
Good Food Catering Company was established to provide superior culinary experiences for events, weddings and celebrations in the Tampa Bay Region.

Just great in style and comfort
Par Daisy
de London Ontario
I originally ordered the show stopper, but saw these at a reduced price and liked the style better.I never had issues with my feet but after wearing high heels and flip flops and other such shoes we squeeze our feet into and stand for hours in, my feet especially the left foot are saying enough.I bought one pair and just received my second. They are so comfortable. When the feet swell you can adjust the velcro straps which are very sturdy.The first few times I wore I found the left leg hurt.So I wore them for a couple of hours only, as suggested, now no problems. I have had compliments from all age groups. Comfort is number 1 but I still want stylish footwear. These deliver

great sandal - so comfortable
Par kathtee
de sudbury,on
I bought these sandals a couple of weeks ago. I love them. They are not only comfortable but they look good and go with everythingI can honestly recommend Ortho brand shoes to anyone with or without a foot problem. I have one foot that swells up periodically and since this sandal is easily adjusted they solve my problem. The price was great too.
Par bobby
de sask
I don't know if these are so stylish but .... they are so comfortable i dont' care who thinks they are cute or not... I can walk forever and they are light so I'll take another pair I have the cream /gold ones and just ordered the black ones so i can change off the cream ones I am wearing to death.
Par Very Happy Shopper
de Ontario
I first purchased a pair of these in black and wore them on a trip to Europe last year. The comfort is just sheer PERFECTION!!!! I had to come back for a second pair in the gold and cream, I got them on sale with a promo code too, which made them even better. I have very bad heel pain, and these shoes, sandals, slippers are my saving grace. However, I do find the slippers are priced too high for how long the fabric lasts on the inside of the slippers.
soooo comfortable
Par Rossi
de Vancouver, BC
I had previously had these sandals in Pewter but ordered the gold as well . They are very pretty and not a harsh gold colour. I have many orthaheel and these by far are the most comfortable of all my sandals, I wish they made these in every colour!!!
Great buys
Par Cruiser
de Toronto, Ontario
I ordered both the pewter and coral sandals in a Size 9. I generally wear an 8 to 8 1/2, but wear a 9 especially when I have to insert my custom orthotics. Even with the built in orthotics in these Vionic sandals, I still chose to get a 9 just so my entire feet rest comfortably within the sandal and there is a bit of room in the toe and heel part of the sandals - something like Birkenstock. They are truly very comfortable, and while they just a tiny bit loose for me, I was able to adjust the straps to make my feet more snug in them. Fabulous deal on these 2 pairs when I used the promo code to purchase them.
Sooooo Comfortable!
Par Brunette
de Saskatchewan
Bought these in the coral color and they look so stylish on! Great color combination as they are coral with a red strap across the instep so will go with many items in my wardrobe. Feel so comfortable as I do have plantar faciitis in one foot and these sandals alleviate the problem. I usually wear a size 9 1/2 and ordered a size 9 as I know that a 10 would be too big and since I have narrow feet appreciate the velcro straps that I can adjust to fit me. It would be great if there were half sizes though....as the bit of extra length in the arch would be great! Will certainly buy again!
Love these sandals
Par Suzeque
de Vancouver
These are so comfortable and attractive to wear. I have purchased over 15 pairs of Vionic shoes & sandals and I Love Love Love these shoes. However I do find the shoes difficult to fit me properly, too narrow most. The sandals are terrific.Prior to buy these Vionics I suffered from plantar fasciitis and terrible knee pain. Within a week of wearing them my pain was minimized and now I have zero problems with my feet. Plus they look so good & stylish. When I don't wear them and wear a regular shoe, my pain comes back especially my heel. So don't hesitate to buy them. You'll be glad you did.
Love them
Par TSC Shopper
de Montreal
First time buying the Orthaheel sandals and wow, the actual words I said when I put them on was "ahh, that feels good." Love how they support my arch and are comfy to wear (after adjusting the straps). Will definitely buy more in future.

Straps are a bit rigid
Par Andrea
I have flat, narrow feet and in the summer often have trouble finding shoes that look stylish and are still comfortable. I was very happy to see these sandals on sale because they were just what I wanted.I got them in the gold in size 10 and once my feet got used to them, I wore them as often as I could. The sole did feel a bit hard at first but the arch support was fantastic. There was also a little bit of extra room around the foot itself, so I never worried that my toes would spill over the front or my heel slide out the back.The only reason I didn't give this the full 5 stars is because the straps are a bit rigid (especially in front) and sometimes chafed my skin. The issue was easily solved with a few small bandaids, but I feel like if the material were changed or the straps cushioned, these sandals would be spectacular.

Microsoft "Office Web" to Run on iPhone?!
Sure, Microsoft's online Live/Mesh/Azure strategy is just a tad less complicated than n-dimensional string theory, but it looks like when the next version of Office (14) ships with it's GoogleDocs/Zoho competing Office Web, it will include support for not only Mac OS X... but for the iPhone's MobileSafari browser as well!
According to Macworld, neither release date nor price point are known, but it should be a companion to Office 14 which is slated for 2009(-ish?)

Microsoft "Office Web" to Run on iPhone?!
It's an online (ie, WebApp, or web based application) version of Microsoft Office, which would run in your web browser rather than your local computer.
Basically the same things as Google Docs, ZoHo, Adobe's flash word processor (whatever that's called!)
I love the iPhone picture on this article! Made my day.
would you then be able to EDIT documents from your iPhone, or simply view them (a la Google Docs)?
Love this - it seems everyone is writing apps for the iPhone.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 3/18/13
You may not be surprised to know that Tracy McGrady thinks the Miami Heat's 22-game winning streak is less impressive than the Houston Rockets' 22-game winning streak of 2007-08. McGrady, of course, was on that Rockets team, and on Monday he told ESPN his Rockets accomplished the superior feat. "I'm enjoying watching because of the unknown," McGrady said. "But the way we did it was a lot harder. Having Yao (Ming) go out (because of injury) around the 12th game and Dikembe (Mutombo) filling his role was huge for our team. And we didn't have three guys making 100 million." "Impressive" is vague and subjective, which is a good way to start a debate. Certainly the Rockets' 22-game winning streak was more surprising. The Rockets were not the defending NBA champions, and they didn't have the best player in the world on their team. Further, the Rockets were just 24-20 when the streak began. They were a team that without a long winning streak would have won 44 or 45 games, and ended up ...

DescriptionThe first Contra game for the 32-bit consoles and released exactly 10 years after the first Contra.
Unlike the original Contra and follow-ups, this is an overhead-view 2D shooter (with 3D graphics) that plays more like a side-scrolling Commando or Mercs.
The graphics are truly 3D; an option allows you to view them as red/blue images, and some packages of Contra: LoW come with 3D glasses to garner full enjoyment of the feature.
Hidden within the game – accessible on a certain level and through a secret code – are a mini-version of Gyruss and a Pac-Man-like game called Pactank.

So, last night as I was desperately trying to convince Silas that night time means sleep, I realized I found myself bargaining with him. I laughed to myself and thought that the stages of sleep depravation are similar to that of the stages of grief. So, here is a highlight of a typical night in my house.
I hear him start stirring-
Denial- "Maybe he'll go back to sleep. If I stay quiet enough he'll forget he is hungry and go back to sleep."
After 15 or so minutes, he starts crying hard
Anger- "Why me? Is it so much to ask to get a few hours of sleep? How can daddy sleep through this? I can't believe I'm being tortured like this."
I pick him up
Bargaining- "Silas, if you let mommy sleep I"ll skip introducing cereal and go straight to ice cream!"
I feed him and rock him and attempt to put him back to bed (usually repeating this process 3-4 times)
Depression- "I think I'm going to die. I can't live on 4 hours of broken sleep every night."
He keeps crying
