I'm sitting here enjoying some nice missouri deer thats been turned into jerky. I was wondering what recipie everyone uses to make their jerky. I have an electric smoker and dehydrator but usually perfer to use the dehydrator because so far I've been able to produce better jerky with it over the smoker. I know the smoker can produce great jerky so how are you guys doing it?
Here's my jerky recipie for the dehydrator. I've been making it this way for about 18 years and have quite a few jerky vultures that start asking for some after they hear I've got a deer.
The meat cuts easier if you freeze it and wait till its just starting to thaw out so that it still has the big ice crystals in it. Remove all of the fat, gristle and silver skin you can. Cut the meat across the grain about 1/4" thick . Soak it in the marinade for 8-12 hours in a non metalic bowl in the fridge. The longer you leave it in the marinade the saltier it will be. I put the pieces on the dehydrator trays until the pieces are starting to look pretty dried out on the bottem, then flip them over. I continue to dehydrate them until they are hard to bend, but not so hard they crack.
I make dog treats out of all the scraps by grinding them up into deerburger.Try not to use the fat as it wont keep as long as the dried out meat and will quickly get rancid. I usually do a quarter at a time which takes at least two batches of marinade. I take the two batches of left over marinade from the cut jerky and add 2 more table spoons of salt and mix it up. Then mix it with a 1 gallon ziplock back full of deer burger. Then make it into small patties and put them on the dehydrator until they're dried out. I usually dry them out more than I do the jerky.
Heres the marinade ingredients which I combine in a mon metalic bowl and slightly warm to be sure the ingredients disolve before putting the meat in.
2 cups port or water (but the port makes it taste better)
3/4 cup teriyaki or soy sauce
1-1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
3 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons chilli powder
3 tablespoons black pepper
3 tablespoons salt/quick tender
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
It will keep for a very long time (years) in a paper sack in a cool dry place. It will dry out more and get hard losing some of it flavor in the process though. I usually vaccum pack it into several small bags and them freeze them until I'm ready to eat them. That way its still fresh when you take it out.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
On June 10, I went to a select board meeting in Rochester to voice concerns in the investment practice of the town's public funds. Rochester has around $1.8 million in a public trust. This money is invested in bonds, stocks and mutual funds by an elected board of trustees.
This public fund is making money for Rochester's future self. Do you know where this money is invested? This is precisely my concern. This money is foremost the taxpayers' asset and they should know and agree on how it is managed.
I argue they do not have much knowledge of its very existence. No blame goes to the trustees, as they have done their job to oversee the fund, yet at the moment the practice is to pay around $1,350 each month to People's United Bank Wealth Management to decide for us where and how to invest our public fund and cemetery trusts.
Despite its name, People's United has nothing to do with uniting the people of Rochester. We are throwing $15,200 not into, but out of, the community each year. This is "standard" practice. I argue it is a dependent way of doing things. We are depending on the judgment of a company that has no relation or interest in Rochester's local context or values to invest our money.
Subsequently, we are invested in some of the most controversial companies in the world, a great part being oil and gas companies. We need a public forum with the trustees to talk about our investments. I went to the select board meeting to bring awareness of this practice with the leaders of our community. I was greeted with a sense of incapacity from the board. The board felt they have no more power than a citizen like you or I to question it. This is concerning to me, as we elect the board to advocate and pay attention to the functions of the town and the security of our future.
Nonetheless, it is my responsibility as a citizen to inform the taxpayers of Rochester that under the management of People's United Bank we have around $80,000 in direct Chevron Corp, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp, Occidental Petroleum Corp and Philips 66 stocks. This does not include additional $26,000 investment in BP Capital Markets PLC corporate bonds and a portion of the over a million dollars in mutual funds also going to the fossil fuel industry.
You may have nothing against these companies personally, except that one may give you a cent difference in price at the pumps from another. Yet, as a town, Rochester has good reason to question investing in their business. I understand how important oil, coal and gas have been to light and heat our homes and to move us around. Let us be grateful to the progress we have made on the account of fossil fuels, but the trajectory is failing. The fossil fuel industry owns more money than the history of money (a phrase coined by 350.org,) yet prices for the consumers rise and extraction practices are getting risky and complicated (fracking is a good example.) These choices are leading to stress on the everyday household and more carbon in our atmosphere. Chevron Corp, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp, Occidental Petroleum Corp, and BP PLC make it on to the top 200 carbon-emitting companies in the fossil fuel industry. For perspective, we reached 400 parts per million of carbon in the atmosphere this spring. It has never been that high in recorded history (way before humans came along).
Rochester knows the hardship of this number. As survivors of Irene, we need to protect the future of Rochester and of towns across the nation and globe, by divesting our public funds from the fossil fuel industry and investing in a better energy future. The fossil fuel industry will not change its practices unless the economics and public opinion change.
At the moment we are ourselves part of the industry by owning stocks. Rochester is in a position to choose its future by doing our own business, not giving it to People's United Bank, and by divesting from industries that are harming the health and security of Rochester. At the select board meeting, the leach fields in the back of the school were in discussion and select board member Marvin Harvey noted that he was really glad the original plan from 40-some years ago to treat and dump into the White River is forever off the table. This statement is a testament to the value Vermont holds in our natural resources. Our public investments should not exclude these values. For this reason I asked the select board to organize a warned town meeting with the trustees of the public funds to facilitate our understanding and evaluate current investment management under People's United.
The select board did not think it could organize a meeting, but I was recommended and encouraged to take my concerns directly to the Board of Trustees of Public Funds. The trustees are elected volunteers, so let us help them by voicing our concerns. Rochester might want to develop and vote on guidelines for preferred practices in which the trustees would follow. I urge you as taxpayers and voters of Rochester and the surrounding area to call the trustees today: Barbara DeHart, 767-4465, Ann Pierce, 767-3350, and Michael Harvey, 767-4408. Please voice your concerns to them and your support for a warranted public meeting to discuss Rochester's Public Funds investment portfolio and management practice.
To a better future…thank you!
Wade, Rochester and Waitsfield

MSPs have given final approval to the Marriage and Civil Partnerships (Scotland) Bill with an overwhelming majority of MSPs saying 'I Do' to equality. The Bill, passed by a majority of 90, will extend the legal form of marriage to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and permit religious denominations to celebrate such marriages should they wish.
Colin Macfarlane, Director, Stonewall Scotland said: 'This a truly historic moment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Scotland. We're delighted that MSPs have overwhelmingly demonstrated that they're committed to building a Scotland fit for the 21st century.'
'We're also hugely grateful to the thousands of Stonewall supporters who have played a big part by contacting their MSPs to show their support. We'll now be lobbying the Scottish Government to ensure that the first marriages take place in Scotland within months of the Act receiving Royal Assent.
During the Bill's progress through Parliament, Stonewall Scotland and volunteers produced personalised briefings and speaking notes for MSPs. The charity gave evidence to the Equal Opportunities Committee and has attended and lobbied at every stage of the Bill's progress.

Taylor Swift has been blazing across the country on her Speak Now tour, and in her warm, earnest way, she's been welcoming city-specific guests to share the stage with her while she pays unique tributes to all the towns she visits. And now, on the final leg of her tour, Taylor is in that town, New York City, and the opportunities for tributes and guests are almost endless. For her first New York show last night at Madison Square Garden, Taylor played "one of the greatest songs ever written," The Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris," with the band's frontman Johnny Rzeznik. With one last show set to light up the Garden tonight, we're speculating who of the New York set will join Taylor on stage. Will it be a Strokes affair? Mother Monster? Or a spectral visitor from the afterlife?
Who did we miss? We want to hear your thoughts!

Wednesday, January 23, 2013
The upcoming year should be a good one if – and it's a big "if" – Congress and the president address the looming debt problem, said Stephen Slifer, economist with NumberNomics, at the Chamber's annual economic forecast luncheon Thursday.
"If these guys and ladies in Washington can reach some sort of agreement in the next two months, lots of good things are going to happen," he said.
He predicted unemployment dropping to 7.3 percent by the end of 2013, down from 2012's 7.8 percent.
It will be until at least 2015 before we reach full employment, he predicted.
However, if elected officials figure out the nation's fiscal situation, then investment spending will increase, the gross domestic product will grow more quickly and the stock market will continue to rise, he said.
Slifer gave the group three dates to watch.
On Feb. 28, sequestration is scheduled to begin. Sequestration is automatic budget cuts, determined during the August 2011 debt ceiling showdown, that were designed to be painful enough to force both sides to come up with a compromise before the cuts go into effect.
On March 27, the continuing budget resolution under which the government is operating expires.
And sometime in early February, the federal government will once again bump up against the debt ceiling.
Slifer said the nation can't afford another showdown, which last time led to huge drops in the stock market and in consumer confidence.
Further, the government simply can't refuse to pay the bills for spending it already authorized, he said.
"If the Republicans want to hold Obama's feet to the fire, don't do it through this mechanism," he said.
The nation's long-term fiscal problems stem from its debt, he said. For the past four years, the nation has been running a $1 trillion deficit each year, and that can't continue, he said.
Currently, the nation is projected to reach the "danger zone" of 90 percent debt to GDP in 10 years, and the problem is acute because the Baby Boomers are retiring between 2011 and 2029 and will begin collecting Social Security and Medicare.
Entitlements – primarily Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – consume 62 percent of the federal budget, meaning there's not enough wiggle room in discretionary spending to make a big impact on the nation's spending, he said.
Instead, entitlements must be adjusted, he said. He talked about reducing benefits for high-income retirees, increasing the retirement age and Medicare eligibility age, increasing the payroll tax cap for Social Security and changing the benefits structure for Medicare.
Slifer said he couldn't predict the impact of the Affordable Care Act because health care isn't his forte.
However, he expects "pretty impressive" GDP growth of 2.7 percent this year, compared to 2 percent last year.
The stock market has recovered its value, the housing market is still recovering and has lots of pent-up demand, and some time this year Americans' net worth should surpass their net worth from 2007, he said.
Consumers have been paying off debt so the debt ratio is now the lowest it's been since 1983, he said, so people can spend more if they wish.
CEO confidence is up, and corporations are showing record-high profits, while corporate borrowing rates are the lowest they've been since the 1960s and corporations have "plenty of cash" to invest.
"These guys are looking to pull the trigger. They've got the money. …. But we've got to get rid of this uncertainty," Slifer said.
Slifer said homeownership rates could be permanently changed, as more people choose to rent.
Nonethless, 1.3 million new households are formed each year, and those people need places to live, he said, so home and apartment construction is poised for recovery.

My wife was admitted to hospital 10 days post birth of twin girls suffering from a severe headache. Started vomiting on way to hospital. 3 hours after arriving at hospital had 1st seizure with second one 5 hours later.
Was given magnesium sulphate and remained in intensive care for 9 days. She also developed a blood clot on left lung which was thankfully picked up early and is taking wolfarin.
Since moved to another hospital where for the last 4 days (plus 4 days in intensive care) she is experience very bad headaches (albeit not to the same scale when admitted). The headaches is linked in with raised BP (circa 145-160 / 80-100) as well as vomiting.
She takes the following medication:
Thyroxine, calcium tablets, alphacalcidol for a Thyroid Condition; Wolfarin for the Blood Clot; and various headache relief tablets which do not necessarily work; and occasionaly some BP tablets.
Can anyone help or advise how long this can go on for, whom she should be under (obstetrician or neurologist or other) and what is the best medication she should be taking.
Many thanks
Paul (Husband)

Durham man rented vehicle from Hairston arrest
The Durham man who rented the car that North Carolina basketball player P.J. Hairston was driving on the night of his June drug arrest says he didn't provide improper benefits to Hairston.
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Haydn Patrick "Fats" Thomas said he rented the 2013 GMC Yukon from the June 5 arrest at a license checkpoint in Durham. He also confirmed details reported by WTVD of Durham, including that he loaned the car to friend Miykael Faulcon — one of the two passengers in the vehicle who were arrested along with Hairston.
Hairston, Faulcon and Carlos Sanford were each charged with possession of less than one-half ounce of marijuana and released on $1,000 unsecured bonds. Faulcon and Sanford are both from Durham.
"Let me just tell you one thing: there's no story," Thomas said of Hairston. "There's no story here. The basketball player, he's not accepting gifts. There's no story."
"If this was a real problem, you think the NCAA would've been at my door faster than (reporters)?" Thomas said.
UNC officials have said they're gathering information before making any statements or decisions on Hairston's status. They haven't commented further on the case.
Athletic director Bubba Cunningham said last month the school is also investigating whether NBA agent Rodney Blackstock has improper ties to Hairston or any other UNC athlete. That began shortly after USA Today reported in May that AAU coach Darius Cobb said he received $10,000 from Blackstock to steer former Kansas guard Ben McLemore to him as a client.
Blackstock and Hairston are both from Greensboro.
Thomas faces drug charges as well as a charge of possession of a firearm by a felon from a December arrest. WTVD also reported this week that Thomas said he had partied with former UNC athletes but denied providing any improper benefits.
USA Today reported that Thomas was charged $1,261.64 for renting the vehicle, according to a rental receipt. Thomas denied knowing Hairston in an interview with the newspaper.
Officers also seized a 9mm handgun and ammunition during the stop, with Durham police spokeswoman Kammie Michael saying the pistol was found on the ground outside the rental vehicle during the search. Police haven't linked the gun to Hairston or his passengers.
All three are scheduled for an August court hearing.
Hairston, a 6-foot-5 1/2 swingman, announced in April he would return to Chapel Hill for his junior season instead of entering the NBA draft. He led the team in scoring at 14.6 points per game.
Faulcon is a forward at Elizabeth City State, averaging 6.1 points as a freshman reserve. The school has also declined to comment on the case.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Izzy101 Not sure If I like it or not... I got this dress in the navy color and the lace work is absolutely lovely. When i first saw this dress online I had to have it, however once I got it I ran into a few issues. It runs big, I got it in the M (which I usually I'm) and it was HUGE! i had to go to the store and return it for an S. For reference I'm 5'0 125lbs. The S itself was also a bit roomy though not as much. The thing is the slip inside the dress is not loose, rather the outside lace dress that falls on top. It is rather loose and because of this I have the feeling it makes me look a bit pregnant. Its such a shame because ITS SUCH A CUTE dress, but I just don't know how to wear it in a way that I feel doesnt make me look odd. I really like the dress, but I have not worn it once and its just sitting in my closet. I'm thinking i'll go get it tailored so they can take in the sides of the outside lace slip or something, because right now I'm not getting any use out of it. 3.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPsenior Great dress I love this dress. I did read the reviews before purchasing, I knew it was going to be a see thru. I paired it with a spanxs like long sleeve top under it with a half slip with drippy lace. Very sweet.The detail in the lace is beautiful. I'm 5 ft and 105 lbs and the small fit perfect for me but I didn't want a close fit so I could layer it. I can see the possibilities of wearing this dress in different ways. It was a good purchase for me. 3.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Naomihorse like it This is the first time that I order free people online. I like the design of this dress. Adorable and fancy. 3.1.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by midanmac Sooooo Pretttty The detail is soo pretty. The only thing I don't like is it is tooo roomy for me :"> Still keeping it since a little sewing on the side will help . The slip is totally sheer =.= 2.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPMakayla Beautiful dress! This dress is stunning in person. The details are perfect. I sized up a size because the length of the slip that is underneath was a little too short for my liking. I'm wearing this as my rehearsal dinner dress for my wedding, and I can't wait. Trust me, it's more beautiful than the photos. Don't miss out on this one. The sale price is totally worth it :) 2.11.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by gauri Runs large This dress is lovely and feminine. I bought the blue which is a gorgeous colour to wear with tights and high boots. The lace and the neck are lovely. The slip is to the size of the dress. But the dress runs large---I am normally a S, but will have to go down to an XS for this. 1.30.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by moonhorse Pretty But Not Up to Par The outside lace part of this dress is so pretty and feminine. It is 100% see-through so I was expected the slip underneath to be more substantial. However, the slip is very thin, short, and fits oddly. I won't be returning because it is so pretty but I am going to be looking for another slip that I can actually wear under this dress. 1.25.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by hihocherio Awful I tried this on in the store and it's easily the cheapest feeling dress I've ever seen FP put out. A few things: 1. The dress is crazy flimsy and ultra synthetic. 2. The dress is sheer... even with the lining. (At least the white version is). Seriously, what's the point of a slip if the slip is sheer? 3. HUUUUUUGE. I'm a 6 and the xs was too big for me. 4. Length: The "lining" doesn't even cover your rear. If this had been made with nicer fabrics and included an opaque slip, it would have been fabulous. Instead this is one more example of why I have stopped giving FP my money. 1.18.2013

Jen I hope everything stays together I am impatiently wait for the glaze.
C and C always welcomed
Nice pic of Billbo's hut.
Thanks Gerri it will probably be a while!
Karen thank you so much for hosting this month. You did a wonderful job!
I got ahead of myself and thought today was the 30th so sorry to jump the gun on you but the May challenge is up! Phew!
Jen C & C's always welcome
Hello Karen, thank you,
Nealey...egg sactly!!!
Jen...it is too cold definitely but ...I don't think even a tornado would waken it up!!!
Geri thanks...do you mean the Alice dormouse saying about being 'well in'???
A big thank you to Karen for providing the inspiration this month at such short notice.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
In the song WHITE RABBIT by Jefferson Airplane there is a line that said. "Just rember what the dormouse said, feed your head." It is from a song that probably would not have listened to. (acid rock)
Thanks Geri for the explanation re. the dormouse.......I feed my face not my head!!!
Have heard of acid rock but never listened to it knowingly!
Forgot to say thank you to Jen for putting together the April Challenge...so Thanks Jen.
Karen, THANKS for all the work put in for this month!
Karen, your hubby's expression is captured well and the paper chosen works great for the effect. Love your ptg. of the wooded trail - nice to see the WIP and it clearly turned out well worth all the effort. Super colors/lighting. The Tamaqua ptg. is looking good.
Jen, your clay creations look fun but I don't envy you trying to construct them with so many possible pitfalls like cracking, etc.. They should be happy in your garden when done, esp. if the one has a spot to fish. So nice to see you working in your studio! Looks organized. Cute bunny artist. The robin looks happy and I like the color you achieved. Little Karen - a doll. Hope I remembered all - you stayed busy this month; good for you!
Claudia, hope you save your colorful eggs and add to your collection for next yr.. The lamp lady has nice contrast. Great job on the chicks in the farmhouse ptg. - not easy.
Thunk - welcome!! Hope you do manage time after your big proj. to paint next month. Looking fwd to seeing more. Your works this month were varied and looked fun for you. I esp. like the butterfly.
Nealey - Love your sepia ink drwg.! Your portrait of Bob is cool - creative and well done.
Sarah, I really enjoyed viewing your first work for this month! The colors and texture in the stream are super. Egg sketches are simple/effectively done. Ditto for your flowers - so fortunate to have a green thumb and flowering results to also have access for ptg.. Esp. like your mixed media tech. for the dormouse. Lovely butterfly - the colors for the entire ptg. are well thought out and beautiful. Your lamb has just the look you were after - soft/impressionistic, warm.
Geri - I think you've made noticeable improvement since I've been on AD...and you were good before. Nice job on all. The lighting for Karen's hubby is good and the mouth looks quite natural. The ink figures - good job. The colors for the rabbit and the mixed media all work so well together - great job.
Paul - Beautiful eggs and effect of ink. Good to see ya.
E.D. - Nice Spring ptg. and I esp. love the sky and distant soft colors. Glad to see your work again and that you're feeling better. A move can put one in a spin.
Alex - Hope we hear more from you...miss you! Your art too.
Kim T (Kim513)
C&C welcome!
Thanks Jen, Karen, and Nealey for your kind thoughts and the comments on my ptg..
Nealey, the wood was lightened quite a bit from my orig. ref. photo, which was ptd. black and not as interesting (aka too hard to do so this opt. was much easier). Thanks again.
Thank you Karen for your month's challenge. I didn't have much time to participate but I did follow along with the posts to see everyone's wonderful work.
I loved the photo of Jen with the backdrop of so many pieces of art done through the many months of challenges. This is a lovely tribute to these challenges.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Kim ~ Thank you for your kind comments!
Karen ~ You did a great job on the April challenge. I got a few completed & have 3 WCs on my desk that I work on occasionally. Maybe they will be finished someday!
Geri ~ I'm feeding my head every time I participate in the AD group.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Thank you everyone for participating in this Months challenge. I had a great time. I am in the process of putting a gallery together but my computer is not cooperating. I hope to have it done today.
C&Cs always welcome
I thought I had it figured out and could put the gallery together by posting one pic at a time. Computer still fighting me. Once I post I can't get it to let me post again. I may have to try and do it from my phone.
I have to go to my class and then a twelve hour shift tommorow but will continue the battle. I will let everyone know when the battles won and the gallery is up. Thankss for your patience.
Karen you can add them all then post. If it goes off on it's own just hit edit and keep going! It did it to me a couple of times this time!
Thanks Jen. That isn't the issue once I attach a pic then go to attach another I get a spinning circle and it says loading. Gets stuck there.
Bummer. I guess wait to see if the sight speeds up later! Don't you just love balky computers!

Nice review. But I am wondering if like on the Kindle you can export your notes and highlights to text? I use clipping all the time in my studies.
BN eReader for iPad - app review
Barnes & Noble has released BN eReader for iPad as an alternative to Apple's iBooks and Amazon's Kindle app. It is an excellent ebook reader and offers many customizations as well as the ability to share books with friends and family.
Reading on BN eReader is a pleasant experience. You can read either in landscape in portrait. In portrait, eReader displays the book as one page. However, in landscape, reading in a two column or one column format depends on what your font settings are (both style and size). If this is not a bug, it is very annoying. I'd much rather see a toggle to turn two columns on or off. You can enhance your reading experience by choosing between one of Barnes & Nobel's five professionally designed themes, or create your own theme by editing the page, text, highlights, and links colors.
One of the big features BN eReader offers that iBooks does not, is the ability to add notes. Just highlight a block of text by dragging with your finger and select "add note". After you've created the note, you can quickly get back to it at any time. In addition, you can highlight text and look up words in the dictionary.
The other huge feature of BN eReader is the ability to share books with friends and family. Barnes & Noble refers to the technology as LendMe. With supported books, you can access your iPad's address book and select which contact you wish to share the book with. Upon accepting the offer, your friend will be able to enjoy the eBook for 14 days. If someone lends you a book, BN eReader will add the book to your library and display the message from your friend.
If you have BN eReader on your Mac, PC, iPhone, and Nook, the last page read will sync across all devices. All notes and highlights will also sync to your PC and iPhone (coming soon).
To purchase a book, BN eReader will launch the Barnes & Nobel eBookstore in Safari. After purchasing a book, you much exit safari and reopen BN eReader; you will see your book automatically add to your library and begin to download. The process is simple, but not completely painless. I'd much rather see BN eReader open an in-app browser because switching between apps isn't very elegant.
Barnes and Noble did an excellent job with their eReader and offers many things that iBooks does not. Having the world's largest bookstore in your hands is definitely a welcomed addition to the iPad.
Video and screenshots after the break!
- Excellent alternative to Apple iBooks
- Share books with friends and family with LendMe
- Add notes, highlights, and bookmarks
- Customized the look of your book
- Sync across multiple devices
- Barnes & Nobel bookstore launches Safari instead of an in-app browser
- Depending on font size and/or style, landscape may display as single to double column

BN eReader for iPad - app review
Nice review. But I am wondering if like on the Kindle you can export your notes and highlights to text? I use clipping all the time in my studies.
Excellent and informative review, Leanna, thank you!
Anyone know how the B&N ebook prices compare to iTunes or Amazon? Nice to have a third and respectable option for buying books for the iPad.
Since Steve Jobs pretty much colluded with the publishers to switch to the Agency model, the prices are not set by the publishers. (Side Rant: I predict DOJ looks into this too. One man changed the way ebooks have been sold for an entire industry just to screw over Amazon).
Therefore B&N and Amazon are almost always the same price, and as soon as the Agency model gets fully implemented they will be the same price. In the current state of transition you find small variances in prices from one to the other.
The big difference is B&N carries about twice the titles that Amazon does. Amazon only carries about 20,000 FREE books (Gutenberg, Google, etc), whereas B&N carries ALL of these, well in excess of 95,000 titles.
Was that a puppy or kitty that walked bybtye screen?
Uhm...the bad thing is that I like something different with all of the ereaders that we have so far: I love the landscape in iBooks, love the highlighting and notes in Amazon and I'm sure I'll like something different about B&N.
Dear Steve Jobs, please implement these into iBooks so that I am satisfied and only have need for one Ereader. Thanks.
@Brad There does not seem to be a way to export notes and highlights.
@Wrath You can browse prices on Barnes & Nobel's website.
@Jindo because when I do shop for an app, the experience will be better to do so within the app.
@Greg Yes, that was my little Yorkie who walked by :)
@Alli I don't think it's universal binary, but everything will soon sync between iPhone and iPad.
@Jindo Fox:
Free books that have withstood the test of time are far more likely to be a good read than the latest flash-in-the-pan author or yet another vampire story.
Nothing gets Gutenberg attention unless it attracts a significant interest from literate people. Not so the pulp pounded out in these days.
Leanna - have you found a way to import pdb files to the BNreader? Since BN bought Fictionwise, all the books that I purchased on ereader.com can be opened in the same BNreader on my mac, but I haven't found a way to get them on my iPad. iTunes doesn't recognize them, and so far I haven't found an Import function within the app, that will allow me to download from another server.
Great review, and I agree - it is a very nice app on the iPad. Thanks!
There is no way to import Fictionwise/eReader ebooks in to the iPad bNeReader software. I ended up deleting the app off my iPad after discovering that. I have well over 200+ ebooks between Fictionwise and eReader.com, and without being able to import the ebooks the app is fairly useless. You would think that since Barnes and Noble owns Fictionwise and eReader they would have set up access to allow importing, but they did not.
The only way B&N will get/keep my business is to allow me to import from Fictionwise. My purchase there cost more than this new iPad.

Curling Brooms
The curling broom, or often called a curling brush, is as essential to the sport of curling as a bat is to baseball. Curling brushes are used to smooth the way for the stone to make its way down the ice towards the goal, usually referred to as the house. Getting the correct curling brush is important since it can be hard work sweeping your way down the ice with the wrong curling brush.
The curling brush is one of the main tools in the game, so you want to make sure that you get one that is both comfortable and durable. Goldline has something for players at all levels and at all price points. You'll find that our choice far exceeds that of almost every other online retailer and we take pride in the products we offer.
We have the high performance Carbon Fiber curling brush, the best selling Fiberlite, as well as the Element broom. For the 2012-13 season, we are pleased to introduce Official NHL curling brushes and convenient collapsible handle brooms.

Ryan Gosling Gossip
Ryan Gosling gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Emma Stone's pretty shoes
Emma Stone at the Irrational Man premiere in Hollywood last night. It opens in limited release next week. Reviews aren't great. I mean they're not terrible, but for the second summer in a row she's in a Woody Allen movie and no one's going to see it. What was that last one called? Midnight In The Moonlight? I don't even care enough to google it. Full Story
Ryan Gosling & Feminist Mad Max
Ryan Gosling was photographed yesterday in Hollywood, apparently on break from shooting The Big Short in New Orleans. He looks really good here. Last time I posted pictures of him he had dark hair (click here for a refresher) and I still haven't washed the bad flavour away yet. Full Story
Ryan Gosling goes dark
Have you seen Ryan Gosling in The United States Of Leland? It was years ago. His character had dark hair. He was adorable. Ryan Gosling is currently working on The Big Short. His character has dark hair. He is not adorable. Maybe it's age. OMG, in this case, a rare case, is age actually gender democratic? Ryan Gosling, the celebrity human pillow, now in his 30s, doesn't look good with dark hair. Full Story
Ryan Gosling's Lost River review
Bauer-Griffin, Splash News
Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, Lost River, opened to widespread scorn and general derision at last year's Cannes Film Festival. Now, it is available on streaming platforms and in three theaters nationwide in what distributor Warner Brothers says is absolutely the release they always intended for Gosling's debut feature film and is in no way a quick and relatively quiet shuffling off of an embarrassingly bad film from a high-profile rookie filmmaker. Full Story
Gosling's night out in London
Wenn, FameFlynet
After a couple of days in Paris, Ryan Gosling then moved on to London to promote Lost River, hanging out with one of the stars of his film, Matt Smith. Last night, Gosling, Smith, and Lily James, Smith's girlfriend, were at the Arts Club. That's the same club Gwyneth Paltrow is bringing to Hollywood – click here Full Story
Gosling's Lost River in Paris
KCS Presse/ Splash News
Ryan Gosling has been in Paris the last couple of days promoting Lost River. Eleven months ago, in France, he presented his film at the Cannes Film Festival to pretty sh-tty reviews. The critics seemed to take it so personally that Gosling's directorial debut wasn't as impressive as his acting efforts. Full Story
Ryan's April Fool's lunch
Chiva/ INFphoto.com/ Splash News
Ryan Gosling stepped out in LA to meet some friends for lunch yesterday. In that outfit, with the facial hair, he looks like he's been in a dark room for days. Is that a euphemism for dealing with an infant? Ryan's directorial debut, Lost River, opens in a few days on April 10. It's the only thing he tweets Full Story
Ryan Gosling in sweatpants
Eva Mendes's sweatpants comment made headlines all over the place yesterday. Click here for a refresher. I wrote that it gave us some insight into Ryan Gosling and who he's in love with. Ryan Gosling is now giving us some more insight into Ryan Gosling. Full Story
No sweatpants for Eva Mendes
Angela Weiss/ Getty Images
Eva Mendes was interviewed by Extra because she's promoting a makeup line, or something. I actually cracked up when she had to say the following: "This is an amazing opportunity for me to bring quality products to people at drugstore prices." The most originally worded endorsement of all time, non? Anyway, that comes at the end. Full Story
Ryan Gosling's Lost River at SXSW
Michael Loccisano/ Gary Miller/ Hutton Supancic/ Getty Images
Ryan Gosling presented his film, Lost River, at SXSW this weekend. First, a conversation moderated by his friend, the director Guillermo del Toro. The two are apparently quite close. Throughout the discussion, even though the film was not well received in Cannes, del Toro repeated several times how much he admired Gosling's work, going out of his way to make sure people knew that he thinks the film is good. Full Story
Eva & Ryan for her birthday
There was a party for Eva Mendes's 41st birthday last week. It happened at a roller rink. The pictures were too expensive for our budget. Click here Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Have you seen those throwback Ryan Gosling dance videos yet? The Internet seems to be losing its mind over them.
Because it's Ryan Gosling, the human hug pillow.
To his credit, he had a great response:
Obviously I peaked early. Thank you @JaneChupick and twitter for the check up from the neck up. Read Full Intro
Ryan Gosling's new tattoo
Could just be pen. Temporary writing. But given the direction the letters are facing, I'll guess permanent until we hear otherwise. Because it would be easier for a tattoo artist to write the letters facing themselves than have to come behind you, or get you to twist your hand around, to write the letters facing you. Full Story
Ryan Gosling's new best friend
Sharpshooter Images/ Splash
Ryan Gosling was at Disneyland yesterday. I guess I came a day too late. But he's here so much - as we've seen - it's not like it's totally impossible that he wouldn't be back again 24 hours later. Anyway, usually when we hear about Gosling at Disney, he's on a date with a girlfriend. Full Story

Hatsan 125 Sniper Vortex Air Rifle
4.5(41 reviews)
From: Hatsan
1-year limited warranty
Average Customer Review4.5 (19 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:very accurate... very well made - manufacturing tolerances in areas you can see / handle is really nice...
Things I would have changed:Quite heavy... this gun is not for toting long distances into the woods! I somewhat regret not finding a similar gun but about 3-4 pounds lighter - IF something like that even exists in this price range / quality / style...
What others should know:I purchased this model after having considered several other brands / styles - but after using Pyramyd's on-line customer service chat, settled on this model. First off - the customer service guys that i chatted with were AWESOME... very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. A GREAT on-line shopping experience... Everything they ended up telling me was 100% accurate. After receiving it, I got the gun dialed in at 25 yards within about 20 shots (using a different scope from the one which came with the package - FYI I put the supplied scope on my son's "much lighter" BB gun and got IT dialed in within about 5 shots!). The online guys recommended JSB match diablo 18 gr round nose pellets, and predator polymag 16gr pointed - BOTH are very accurate. Ultimately - if you are shopping for this style / price point / etc - and understand the weight of this gun (which is VERY comparable to other similar guns) - I am convinced you can't go wrong here...!
Things I liked:Hard hitting in .25, and extremely accurate - I replaced the included scope with a Leapers 9x40, and the combo works well for me. I also used it with open sights for a few days, and it was really nice - I was tempted to leave the scope off! My only other big springer is an RWS mod 34 in .22, and the Hatsan NPSS feels like a great leap forward in technology. It's a lot quieter, and has less recoil snap than the (very nice) Diana. It was somewhat hard to cock at first, but after a few hundred shots it seems to be broken in and happy. It's relaxing, and easy to shoot all afternoon. I've been running The Excite 24.54g Coppa pellets with good results. I don't have many other guns in its class to compare this to, so my opinion is only worth so much. That said, I feel like I got an incredible value for my money, I love using this gun, and I'm always impressed by how much power it puts down.
Things I would have changed:It seems heavy. The gun alone weighs 9+ lbs, 2lbs less than my RWS. Not much of a difference on paper, but you notice it when you pick it up. I wish they offered it in a 'no scope included' version for a few bucks less, it's a shame to take a scope off a brand new rifle and just put it aside or bin it.
What others should know:I don't own a lot of air rifles, so my opinion may only be worth so much. Before I bought this, my goto for 20 years was a Sheridan CB9 in .20, I only picked up the RWS 34 in the last few years. When I bought the Hatsan, it blew my mind compared to these older models. My first camping trip with it was in snow, and it seems completely insensitive to outside temperature. At $349, I don't think you can lose. If you don't like the included scope, take it off and use it with open sights for a few days! Overall a wonderful product, well built and also well supported by Pyramyd.
Things I liked:hits hard and its quiet! gas piston is the bomb...
Things I would have changed:the instructions need a little upgrade and of course the scope and the bi-pod are a joke. striped the screw hole on butt plate while adding layers. be careful the plastic will not tolerate over-tightening.
What others should know:be careful of backstop. scope wasn't sighted and i blew a nice 25 cal hole in my crappy old garage door! lol

Left wing Bill Sweatt recorded his first multi-goal game of the season and goaltender Eddie Lack posted his fourth shutout of the season for Chicago.
Chicago (40-26-3-3) increased its lead in the Midwest Division to six points over the Peoria Rivermen with four games remaining in the regular season, and it holds two games in hand on the Rivermen. The Wolves can clinch a berth in the 2012 Calder Cup playoffs on Sunday with any kind of loss by Rochester to Adirondack.
Right wing Darren Haydar tallied his 20th goal of the season and forward Michael Davis assisted on both Sweatt goals in the Wolves 20th road win of the season. Defensemen Brad Hunt and Kevin Connauton and center Jordan Schroeder each added one assist in the team's second win of the season against Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City (43-21-4-5).
Lack (20-19-3) made 29 saves, including 14 in the second period to earn his 20th win of the season. Yann Danis (25-13-2) posted 27 saves in the loss.
Chicago opened the scoring with a little help from a Barons defender at 8:52 of the first period. Sweatt won a foot race to a puck for a breakaway following a hoist pass by Davies and was denied by Danis, but the pursing Barons defender slid and knocked the Oklahoma City goalie and the puck into the net giving him his first score of the night.
Haydar gave the Wolves a two-goal lead on a 5-on-3 man advantage just under three minutes later when he walked in from the left corner and ripping a sharp angle shot off the right post and into the net.
Sweatt's speed once proved to be the difference in the Wolves third strike of the game 1:35 into the second period. Davis provided another good pass through the neutral zone, banking the puck off the boards to spring Sweatt and he went wide to the left side and beat a Barons defender to the net, slipping a backhander through the legs of Danis for his 16th goal of the season.
The Wolves return to the ice against the Texas Stars at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 10 at Cedar Park Center.
Chicago 2 1 0 -- 3
Oklahoma City 0 0 0 -- 0
First Period--- 1, Chicago, Sweatt 15 (Davies), 8:52. 2, Chicago, Haydar 20 (Hunt, Connauton), 10:40 (PP). Penalties--- Yeo, Oklahoma City (hooking), 9:35; Tyrvainen, Oklahoma City (unsportsmanlike conduct), 10:23; Haydar, Chicago (tripping), 15:28.
Second Period--- 3, Chicago, Sweatt 16 (Davies, Schroeder), 1:35. Penalties--- No Penalties.

DETROIT - General Motors product development chief Mary Barra has been named the company's new CEO, the first female head of a U.S. car company.
Barra, 51, will replace Dan Akerson on Jan. 15. Akerson, chairman and CEO, moved up his retirement plans by several months because his wife, Karin, is battling advanced cancer, the company said in a statement Tuesday.
With the decision, the GM board separated the board chairman and CEO positions. Barra will get a seat on the board, but director Theodore "Tim" Solso will succeed Akerson as chairman. Solso formerly was chairman and CEO of engine maker Cummins Inc., and has been on GM's board since June of 2012.
"I will leave with great satisfaction in what we have accomplished, great optimism over what is ahead and great pride that we are restoring General Motors as America's standard bearer in the global auto industry," Akerson said Tuesday morning in a message to employees.
Barra currently holds what many say is the most important job in the company - senior vice president for global product development. She's in charge of design, engineering and quality of all of GM's vehicles across the globe and has shepherded most of the company's recent new vehicle introductions.
Under her command, GM rolled out brawny new full-size pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and the Chevrolet Impala full-size car, which earned the highest score for a sedan in testing by Consumer Reports magazine. Its quality scores also rose in surveys conducted by J.D. Power and Associates.
Barra also heads purchasing and had previously ran the company's human resources operations.
She started with GM as an electrical engineering co-op student in 1980 when she attended what is now Kettering University in nearby Flint. She also served as a plant manager and executive director of engineering. She holds a master's degree in business administration from Stanford University.
Barra had been among four internal candidates for the position, including Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann, North American President Mark Reuss and Vice Chairman Steve Girsky.
Ammann, 41, was named GM president and will manage its regional operations worldwide. He'll also head up the global Cadillac and Chevrolet brands, as well as GM Financial, the company's auto loan arm.

I just wanted to take a few minutes to say hi to everyone. I have just joined forces with Denise to help coordinate WI and I must say I am excited and honored. I have met some of you but would like to share my story for those of you who I haven't met yet.
I have had severe pe twice. My first experience with pe was when I was just 16 years old and found myself pregnant (not something I planned) From the beginning of the pregnancy I felt great, no sickness, no fatigue, I felt wonderful. By the time I hit 20 weeks my bp's had been creeping up, there was protein in my urine and I had a tremendous amount of swelling. I had never heard of pe so I was very unaware of the danger I was heading into. By 24/25 weeks I had horrible headaches and was put on hospital bedrest in Madison. At the time Madison was about 40-45 minutes from home and I was scared. At 28 weeks during a non stress test we lost fetal heart tones and I was told my son was already dead. I was rushed to the e.r. for an emergency c-section. My little boy was born weighing 1 pound 14 oz. He lived for 32 hours. I was the only person to hold him while he was alive and that was only because he was already dying and there was nothing more that could be done for him. Those were the darkest days of my life.
5 years later I found myself pregnant again-something I swore I was never going to go through. I was sick all the time in the beginning of this pregnancy and felt like I could sleep for days. PE found me again and by 27 weeks I was back in the hospital in Madison on bedrest. At 30 weeks my daughter was born weighing 2 pounds 7 oz. She was pulled out of my belly crying and the was the sweetest thing I had ever heard. Nothing could have made me happier. Victoria spent 5 1/2 weeks in the NICU doing very well. She was only on a ventilator for a couple days and besides a little jaundice was a champ. Now she is 4 and such a handful! I love her to death even though she makes me pull my hair out and scream from time to time.
I am currently pregnant with my 3rd and final child. I am scared, excited and everything in between. I also feel more in control and better equipped to deal with pe should it show up again (this is very likely I am told) We are shooting for 32 weeks and anything after that is a bonus.
I look forward to helping coordinate the state and being an active member, getting to know you all and making friendships that have a unique bond to share. Thanks for reading this far. (sorry it was so long, I get carried away)
I have agreed to take over coordinating duties from Denise. I am looking forward to this new 'job' and know that I will probably bug Denise about things quite often. Since my last post I have had my last baby. Savanna James was born on August 19 at 35weeks weighing 5 lbs 1oz. She is doing very well and growing way too fast!! Once again I developed PE but because of how far in the pregnancy I was I wasn't allowed to get as sick as before which was such a huge relief. It made a big difference in how the c-section went, how I felt after and the recovery. I said to everyone that at least I got to end my baby making days on a better experience than before.
I am ready to tackle this new responsiblity of coordinator and look forward to everyones ideas, suggestions and inputs. I am hoping that together we can meet, get some fundraising stuff going and get to WI better educated about pe.

Millions of people already know the many benefits of Direct Deposit.
Berkeley County Clerk of Court Mary P. Brown thinks you should, too.
According to Brown, Direct Deposit of child support payments is as safe as traditional deposit methods. If youre hesitant to sign up for direct deposit, you should consider the following facts:
According to Brown, Direct Deposit is
Free There is no charge for this service.
Money-Saving A study has shown the total direct and indirect costs of depositing a check yourself, instead of using Direct Deposit, are $5.88. If you receive a check every other week, it would end up costing you more than $150 a year to deposit your own money.
Quick With Direct Deposit, your money is electronically transferred into your account.
Secure Theres no need to worry about lost, stolen, or misplaced checks. Direct Deposit is more confidential than paper payments because fewer people are involved in the process.
Convenient Direct Deposit eliminates having to make deposits in person. If you are ill or away from home, your support payments will be deposited into your account in your absence.
Reliable You can be assured your money will be deposited to your account correctly and confidentially.
Simple Its easy to get started.
According to Brown, the program is not new to the Clerks office. An estimated 34 percent of all payments issued by the Berkeley County Courts are currently being issued by direct deposit.
Browns goal is to go paperless with 100 percent participation in the Direct Deposit program on the issuance of child support payments. This would entail submitting child support payments electronically into the custodial parents bank account. Going paperless is a win-win situation for everyone according to Brown. It helps the Clerk of Court office operates more efficiently, is convenient for child support recipients; and helps save on our natural resources.
For more information or to request a Direct Deposit enrollment form, call the Berkeley County Clerk of Court, Financial Support Office, at one of the following numbers: Charleston, (843) 723-3800 ext. 4900;
Moncks Corner, (843) 719-4900; or St. Stephen, (843) 567-3311 ext. 4900.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but here it goes anyway. A concept I've recently come across has raised some questions for me and just wanted some extra imput. In Martin Zender's book on Hell, he starts off with showing that Jesus' earthly ministry was directed towards Israel, and not the entire world. Although I've heard this before and had read the Scriptures he quoted before, this concept didn't really hit until then. Now, I'm wondering how deep the difference between Jews and Gentiles is. I mean, we sometimes tend to forget (or at least I do) that Jesus' words that are recorded in the Gospel were in fact directed towards a Jewish audience, in a Jewish nation, under a Jewish context. So, how much applies only to the Jews and how much applies to us (Gentile believers?) Also, I've read a few articles that made the case that Peter and the Apostles preached a specific Jewish gospel, where as Paul preached a different Gentile gospel. So does this mean that their is Jewish approach to the Christian faith and a Gentile approach? Just some ponderings I'm having. Any thoughts?

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
On Saturday, August 24, the Vermont Music Fest saw sunny skies and mid-70s temperatures for the fourth year in a row, and organizer Jeff Mack is thankful for the event's ongoing good weather. "Next year it can rain all it wants," he said. "I'll put up slip n' slides."
Mack estimates that 2,500 people came out to Lareau Farm in Waitsfield last weekend to listen to music by bands both local and international, including The Gulch and Afri-VT and Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars. During the afternoon, families relaxed on the lawn with huge sticks of maple cotton candy, and at night, folks gathered around the bonfire sipping Vermont ales.
Vermont Music Fest began in 2010 as the after-party for Jeff and Kelly Mack's wedding and the event has evolved with each year due to strong local support. "Probably my favorite comment that's come in from a lot of people [about Vermont Music Fest] was, 'it's what the community needed,'" Mack said.
Now, in the weeks following this year's festival, "people are stepping up," Mack said, explaining that so many people have already volunteered their time and expertise for next year's event. "That's what Vermont Music Fest is," Mack said. "[I] delegate to people who get it, and it happens."
Due to the collaborative nature of the festival, "I never know what the end product is going to be," Mack said, especially since he asks artists—some of whom have performed in the festival every year since its inception—to bring something new to the event each time. Whether it be adding musicians or playing with a different band entirely, "they have to change it up," Mack said.
And it works. Big Bang Bhangra Brass Band, which features some of the state's best jazz and funk players, got tired all-day festival-goers back up on their feet and dancing in the last slot of the evening, "and their first rehearsal was the Sunday before [the show]," Mack said.
While the line-up changes each year, despite some heckling from fans and the media, the festival's seemingly generic name is not changing. Vermont Music Fest is a celebration of music in Vermont, and "I chose Vermont Music Fest because it can go anywhere in Vermont," Mack said.

Dear Principal Keppler,
I was surprised to see in next year's teacher assignments that Doug Stahl has been moved to 3rd grade and that you are hiring a new 5th grade teacher. It seems to me that you should be hiring a new 3rd grade teacher instead. This move is not for the betterment of our school, nor does it benefit our students.

From Dios Habla Hoy Student Center (GU-434) in Guatemala City.
She looked out her door waiting for us to walk by. She had a smile on her face. I wasn't sure what she wanted, but I had this feeling this woman had a plan. As we walked on the sidewalk approaching this woman's house, she stood there outside her door waiting for us. As soon as we were next to her home, she gleefully handed me a cup. It was filled with a warm drink made of corn and cinnamon. Our country staff person looked at me and said, "she wants to offer you and the group this drink. Please take it, so you are not rude, but don't drink it for it might make you sick."

Customer Favorite
Set of colorful self-adhesive face jewels. They can be re-applied after one use with skin sage glue. Comes in a cute little Free People case. So fun to decorate your face with these for our favorite festive holidays!
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by leonalea Bindis These are bindis, not "face jewels". It's fun putting them all over your face (I did in India while playing with kids) but if you go about like that Indians will probably think you're weird! Just a heads up :) These are very pretty though, but a little pricey. 11.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by scandal Too much fun I brought these along to festivals when getting ready with friends and we loved helping each other put our faces on, especially when it came time to place these jewels on our faces. So lovely and as everyone else described, beautiful. 7.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Yadi Beautiful! The picture of this product was taken under natural lighting, or so it seems, and that is really helpful! But these mini jewel are much more beautiful in person. I am very happy with my purchase! I have not been able to wear them yet, so I can write about how long they stay on. They don't come with the glue, but are self adhesive. The box does suggest to buy glue (skin friendly glue) after one time use. 2.5.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ThePlantess So Pretty! So pretty! I wore them to my hostess job on New Years and they really dressed up my outfit! They stuck the whole night even though I was running around and I was even able to save the ones I wore! Still sticky! 1.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bb9 fabulous!!! i got these as a "stocking stuffer" and love them. good for parties, color festivals, etc... 1.3.2013

Today the Internet was abuzz with the latest Steve Jobs' Keynote address at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference, so much so that Twitter was brought to its knees and other blogging sites were overwhelmed with repeated traffic requests. I watch the action on a variety of sources (pictures and text from Engadget and Audio being streamed through uStream). It was a bit painful having to manual refresh or have audio drop during the keynote speech, but the announcements were eventually heard world-wide.
This post is not about the iPhone though but rather about a new GoGrid customer who was recently written up on TechCrunch, ScribbleLive. ScribbleLive is an Ajax-based, Live Blogging platform that enables authors to cover live events in a real-time manner. Billed as a "media rich conference call" ScribbleLive provides audiences an immersive experience on browsers and mobile devices alike, pushing text, links, pictures and videos instantly without the need to constantly reload the browser page.
What makes this story noteworthy is that ScribbleLive is a true, bootstrapped startup. The company, founded by Jonathan Keebler and Michael De Monte, was put together for about $1500. They are only 2 employees but have set up an infrastructure of a well-established company, with GoGrid powering their Application and Database servers and Akamai providing the CDN (content delivery network).
During the WWDC event, they ran their own "System Status" LiveBlog to keep users up to date on the systems powering other users live-blogging. Some highlights:
- The day before the event they were getting 181,000+ page views
- Throughput before, during and after the event ranged between 1.3 to 4.6 Mbits/sec
- Front-end servers maintained 2% CPU utilization
- Database server peaked at 7% CPU utilization
- 1.5 hours before the event, 1+ unique visitors/sec were accessing the site

Betty Crocker Baking Mix Contest Winner...
The Betty Crocker Baking Mix Contest was our first contest and in the spirit of living a simpler life, my daughter and I wrote the names on small scraps of paper and she picked a winner out of a hat. Cherie won the contest. Cherie has two blogs: Tightwads with Triplets and More Than An Egg. Here is her comment:
"I'm a new reader to your blog and would love to try the mixes out. My son is completely GFCF and hasn't found a sweet treat that he likes yet. FYI: I googled my son's nutritionist (Kelly Dorfman) and found your blog. :)"
Congratulations to Cherie and thanks to everyone who made comments--and to Betty Crocker for making these NEW gluten-free baking mixes.
