The Republican Party picked State Rep. Shirley Randleman to serve out the term of the late N.C. Sen. Don East of the 30th Senate District seat on the Republican ticket.
Votes are in, and unofficial results indicate that Randleman will serve the next term as Senator of the 30th district in N.C.
According to unofficial election results Tuesday evening, Randleman received 64.55 percent of votes, and Ric Marshall received 35.45 percent of votes. This corresponds with 46,942 votes for Randleman and 25,781 for Marshall.
After East's sudden death last month, due to complications following back surgery, the party had to decide on a replacement for him under state law, because it was too late to replace his name on the ballot.
The party picked Randleman, Wilkes County's representative to the North Carolina House of Representatives, who had served in the House since 2008. Each vote that was cast for East, went to Randleman.
Randleman said she and the late senator had similar views on polices.
"I'm pro-God, pro-life and pro-gun," she said. "I feel the citizens of the 30th District are overtaxed and over-burdened with regulations. In order to attract business, North Carolina must remain a right-to-work state and the General Assembly must continue in its efforts to rein in regulations."
Randleman's previous election record:
Mrs. Randleman first won the House seat in 2008, defeating Roger Smithey and John Reavill in the Republican primary and then beating Democrat Larry Pendry in the general election.
Mrs. Randleman won her party's nomination in 2010 by again defeating Reavill in the primary. She won a second term with her November victory over Democrat David Moulton.

Manage your finances with MoneyWiz for iPad [Giveaway]
4 checking accounts and 5 credit cards
Cool would love this app. I will be monitoring around 7 accounts between my personal finances and my business.
Would love this app. I would be monitoring around 7 accounts between my personal finances and my business.
One Savings and Two Credit Cards
I would manage up to 7 accounts with it. The GUI is awesome!
I have 4 accounts. Checking, two savings and investment. Would be a great tool.
I'd manage 2 - 4 accounts with this.
Wow, right now I am managing 2 checking accounts (personal and joint), 3 savings accounts (personal, joint, and investments), and 5 credit cards (I know that's too many but hey it's free money!). That doesn't include any other accounts like my 401K or Flex.
I have about 14 I'd manage.
Nice looking app. I would like to try to monitor a checking, money market, credit union, 3 credit cards, 401(k), and a few mutual fund (a regular investment and a few IRAs) accounts. Can it do all that?
Haha! 1 account! I think I deserve points for frugality!
I've been looking for a good money management app in the last week or so. I have 6 accounts to try and manage. I hope to get that knocked down to just two by paying off 4 credit cards in the next 6 months or so!
I have 2 checking, 4 savings and 2 credit cards. i would love to have this app. :D
I have about 4-5 accounts checking savings and some ira's would be well worth it.
I need this LOL we have at least 10 accounts that I need to track. We are helping my wifes mother get a handle on her finances too so maybe I should another 5 to the total
I've only got a couple of accounts to use with this, but budgeting is the only thing that's ever allowed me to be able to afford luxuries like an iPad! I'd love to go full circle and manage the budget there!
I have two checking and two savings accounts. Looks like a nice app. My offshore bank accounts resulting from my "importing and exporting" business shall remain nameless and secret, for now.
I have 8 accounts - if it does college tuition, I have 10 total.
Nice looking interface! I would use it across the board to handle the finances for our family. Between my hubby and I we have 3 joint and 2 individual accounts, 2 credit cards (so happy the other 3 have been paid off), 2 student loans and a truckload of recurring household bills. So a minimum of 9, max of 15 or so? It would be so awesome to have everything in one place!
We have about 5 accounts. It would be awesome to move our budget to a more complete solution instead of using Excel.
I have 8 accounts between banks and credit cards
We have 14 accounts....banks, utility, shares etc...
Currently using BOA portfolio management site....moneywiz looks cool...and happy to try out and provide comparison with traditional banking apps...
Dunno, that's why I need the app.
I have 7 that I need to do a better job of managing.
I have 39 accounts I manager on my iPhone and iPad. Right now I currently use Mint.com and their iPhone app and frankly I'm completely fed up with it. It's slow at loading and updating and it never syncs properly. I'm reading to pull the skin off of my head in frustration (can't pull my hair out because I'm already bald). Would love to win to win one of the giveaway's for the MoneyWiz iPad app. Looks like a great GUI!
Probably 15
6 accounts. God knows I need this app!
3 accounts and 2 credit cards, I want it!
Have 8 accounts to manage. Guest it would be a great apps for it.
I have about 10 or 15 accounts I would love to use this great app for. Thanks!
This looks really useful.
I have 15 this would be awesome
looks cool, i would need to track 4 accounts
Wow this looks like a wonderful app. I manage the househodl finances so that means my wife and mine. That equals 5 credit cards, 3 bank accounts and numerous bills. The free trial will allow me to pay some of those bills :)
I have a business that would be able to utilize this app. I could use this to manage the finances while on the go. This app is great.
That looks like a really useful app. My wife runs a non-profit bakery and needs something like that to track everything.
Looks Great
I'm from the Philippines and am especially loving the multi-currency support as I have about 10 accounts including Peso and USD currency each.
Lovin' the forecast feature as well! I've tried a bunch of other finance apps and found none that has this feature! Can't wait for the QIF import/export update next so then I can integrate with Quicken in a breeze!
Keep it up...
Undeniably imagine that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be mindful of. I say to you, I definitely get irked at the same time as other people consider issues that they plainly do not understand about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as smartly as outlined out the entire thing with no need side-effects , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The New Mexico State baseball team opened up a four-game series with La Salle winning 18-8 in eight innings at Presley Askew Field, Friday, March 8. The Aggies improve to 5-8 on the year with La Salle falling to 2-8.
The Aggie bats came to life posting 17 hits, which included a walk-off RBI double from junior transfer Jory Goldstrom that brought in junior Michael Medina. That double was Golstrom's first hit of his Aggie career. Medina scored four times as he was walked, hit by a pitch and got on base on a throwing error by the Explorer catcher after striking out.
Junior Tanner Rust played consistently both defensively and offensively as he finished the day collecting three hits to go along with three runs and two RBI. He also added a stolen base, which was his third of the year.
After falling behind 3-0 heading into the bottom of the third, senior designated hitter sparked the Aggie bats to life as he hit a grand-slam over the centerfield wall. La Salle tied the game 5-5 in the top of the fourth inning, but junior leftfielder Quinnton Mack jumped on a pitch and got his first homer as an Aggie to give NM State a 6-5 lead. The Aggies scored three more runs in the inning to take a 9-5 lead.
After senior starting pitcher Adam Mott, who is now 2-1 after striking out seven batters, held the Explorers scoreless in the top of the fifth, the Aggie offense exploded for five more runs in the bottom of the inning. Senior Kyle Phillips started the inning with a stand-up triple and was brought in by freshman third baseman Derek Umphres on a single down the right field line. Senior shortstop Parker Hipp got in on the offensive-fun hammering a two-run blast over the centerfield wall.
La Salle scored three more runs in the top of the sixth but a run by the Aggies in the seventh and four more in the eighth allowed NM State to come out victorious.
The Aggies take on La Salle in a doubleheader starting at 3:05 p.m. (MT) at Presley Askew Field. There is no radio coverage, but live stats are available online at www.NMStateSports.com under the live events link.

Lori Dauphiny (Openweight Women), Marty Crotty (Lightweight Men), Matt Smith (Heavyweight Men), and Paul Rassam (Lightweight Women), lead a distinguished lineup of coaches that will provide specific technical and physiological instruction utilizing Princeton's state-of-the-art facilities. Armed with the same knowledge, systematic approach, and maybe even a few of the tricks that have won our coaching staff dozens of Eastern Sprints, IRA, NCAA, and World Championship gold medals, you will become a better rower that is tougher to beat.
During the 18 years of the Princeton HP Rowing Camps we have fine-tuned the elements and structure of the camps into something that we think is the best summer rowing camp format in the business. A rower's daily routine will include twice-a-day workouts on Lake Carnegie, introductions to effective ergometer workouts and testing methods, core strength training, technical sessions in the rowing tanks, and speakers from either the Princeton University Athletic Department umbrella or the 2012 United States Olympic Team. Speakers will cover a wide range of topics, including nutrition best practices, building better strategies for ergometer testing, the experience of rowing in the Olympics, and how to navigate the ever changing recruiting process. Coaches are available for daily one-on-one sessions to discuss how personal training and technical improvements will enable each rower to achieve his or her goals. In addition, each rower will receive at least 60 minutes of direct video analysis and feedback during the week.
All of our camps offer coxswain-specific instruction. Coxswains are separated into their own group for daily instructional sessions. In addition, they are assigned to a boat for on-the-water training and races. We can proudly say, without a doubt, that the Princeton rowing camps are not only the best camps for rowers, but also coxswains.
All camps will be held on the Princeton University campus, one of the most beautiful and historic campuses in the world. Campers will utilize the Shea Rowing Center - home of the Princeton Tigers and a training facility for the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams. The center includes moving water rowing tanks, a strength training room and ergometer room. It is located on Carnegie Lake, a protected body of water, 3 miles long with a 4 lane buoyed race course. Residential campers will reside in Princeton University dormitories and dine in one of the school's dining halls. All dormitories will have adult supervision with a minimum of a 10:1 camper to counselor ratio plus a Health Director.
**Camp dorms do not have air conditioning. We recommend you bring a fan with you camp.**
Princeton University reserves the right to cancel, postpone or reschedule any camp or clinic because of low enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances. In the unfortunate case a camp or clinic is canceled, Princeton University will issue a full refund of the fees paid. Princeton University cannot be held responsible for any related costs, charges or expenses, including but not limited to; cancellation/change fees assessed by airlines, hotels, car services or travel agencies.

BREAKING Colorado Approves High Cap Mag Ban Bill
Posted on February 16, 2013 by Robert Farago
After an epic debate, Colorado Democrats advanced stricter gun-control measures Friday, ensuring that the state will be held up as an example in a national fight over tougher firearm laws, denverpost.com reports. Late last night, the Colorado House passed HB 1224 (limiting magazine capacity to 15 rounds) and three other bills (after the jump) by voice vote. After a roll call on Monday, the package will sail through the Democratically-controlled Senate and land on Governor Hickloopers desk for signature. The bills passed with Tailgunner Joes help. Vice President Joe Biden [on vacation in the Rock Mountain State] called four House Democrats to get their take on the debate and to note Colorados importance in a national discussion on gun control. Magazine manufacturer Magpul is now certain to up-stakes and take 700 jobs with them. Also passed . . .

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team opened the 2013 spring season with an impressive 6-1 win over Kennesaw State at the Hixson Racquet Club tonight. The Lady Mocs took the first five points in the match to cruise to a non-conference victory over the visiting Owls.
Chattanooga opened by winning the doubles point. Junior Alexa Flynn (Memphis, Tenn.) and freshman Katie Polk (Woodstock, Ga.) defeated Therese Lagerkvist and Isabela Castro (8-3) at No. 3. Senior Jenna Nurik (Roswell, Ga.) and sophomore Kaylene Chadwell (Franklin, Tenn.) had an 8-4 win over Jana Heckinghaus and Tamara Ploucher at No. 2. Freshman Kelsey Coots (Huntsville, Ala.) and Kayla Jones (Memphis, Tenn.) lost at No. 1 (8-6) to Alexandra Apostu and Virginia Stein.
UTC took control of the match quickly in singles play, only dropping 11 games in its first four wins. Coots won (6-1, 6-1) in straight sets over Lagerkvist at No. 5, followed by Jones' (6-2, 6-0) win over Plocher at No. 4. Sophomore Claire Mulyadi (Semarang, Indonesia) clinched the win with her (6-0, 6-4) win over Casto at No. 6.
Nurik had a big win at No. 1 in straight sets over Stein (6-2, 6-1). Chadwell had the lone setback in single, dropping a tight two-set match to Apostu (7-5, 6-4). Flynn battled back from a 6-1 first-set loss to win in three sets (1-6, 6-3, 6-4) over Heckinghaus.
"Jenna had a nice win to start the year and we played well all around," stated head coach Jeff Clark. "It is always nice to start the season with a win, and we got a chance to see what we need to work on. There is a lot of tennis to play this season, so we hope to keep getting better each time out."
The Lady Mocs are back in action tomorrow, hosting Belmont at the Hixson Racquet Club at 2:00 p.m. (E.S.T.). Live scoring will again be available on the women's tennis schedule page on GoMocs.com.

|Previous College:
|George Fox, 1985
|Assistant Coach
|3 Seasons
A highly respected basketball coach at the collegiate level, Bob Lowe joined the Cal State Northridge Men's Basketball program in 2009 as an assistant coach.
His role with the Matadors will involve working with the team's post players and other administrative responsibilities.
Lowe came to CSUN with a tremendous amount of experience, having served as an assistant coach for 25 years prior to arriving at Northridge.
Prior to his hire at Northridge, Lowe spent eight seasons with the Cal Poly Mustangs from 2002-09. During his tenure with the Mustangs, Lowe's coaching responsibilities included roles as defensive coordinator, the conditioning and off-season workout schedule coordinator, and handling all team travel arrangements.
Previous to his coaching tenure at Cal Poly, Lowe's career included stints at Portland (2000-01), Southern Utah (1992-00) and at New Mexico State (1989-92). During his tenure at New Mexico State, the Aggies appeared in three straight NCAA Tournaments, and advanced to the NCAA "Sweet 16" in 1992.
During his last three years at New Mexico State, the team chalked up a 74-18 record. That included a victory over a UNLV (1/8/90) team that had won the NCAA championship the year before. Lowe aided in the development of former New Mexico State stars Randy Brown and Reggie Jordan, who both played in the NBA.
During the 2006-07 season, Cal Poly chalked up a school record 19 wins, and advanced to the Big West Conference Tournament championship game twice (2003, 2007).
At Southern Utah, the Thunderbirds were ranked #1 among Divsion I independent teams (1994). Southern Utah captured two American West Conference Tournaments (1995, 1996). Southern Utah led the nation in three-point field goal percentage.
A 1985 graduate of George Fox University, Lowe worked as an undergraduate assistant (1983-85) at the school before joining the coaching staff at College of the Desert as an assistant coach from 1985-89.
Lowe earned his master's degree in Education Administration from Cal State San Bernardino in 1994.
Lowe and his wife Kelli have one son, Casey.

Gegard Mousasi:
Two fighters of essentially the same age enter a room. The first holds a record of 15-1 with six straight wins, twelve stoppages, and a past win over Mauricio Rua. The second is 33-3-2 with 29 finishes, a single loss in his last 22 fights, and notches on his belt including the names of Ronaldo Souza and Mark Hunt. However, given their similar excellence, one is considered a distinct favorite.
While working out odds-makers logic on the matter, the competitors in question are clearly Alexander Gustafsson and Gegard Mousasi in relation to their April 6 headliner at UFC on Fuel 9. And, though Gustafsson seems to be the popular pick when it comes to the likely winner, Mousasi plans on showing people why the smart money is on him when the two scrap in Stockholm.
Im the underdog, but I dont care. Its a fight, said Mousasi to MMAJunkie in his standard calm, collected manner.
Of course, hes fought a lot more in the UFC, so hes the favorite. I understand that. I hope (people are overlooking me). They dont expect anything for me, so I cannot disappoint anybody, he continued. I like this position much better. I dont have any pressure.

15% of survey respondents pick weekend with iPhone over sex
Used electronics reseller Gazelle recently published the result of a survey of some 1,000 smartphone-toting customers. 65% picked iPhone as something they couldn't live without, compared to the 1% that said Facebook. 15% went so far as to say that they would sooner give up sex than go a full weekend without their iPhone. Even for those that pick sex, 4% claimed to have used their iPhone while doing the deed.
That dedication spreads to more casual social situations, too. 25% said they almost always use their iPhone in social situations, and 58% ranged from "usually" to "occasionally". Only 17% "rarely" or "never" touched their phones when socializing. 40% said that they would like to see a larger screen on the next iPhone - they're probably going to get their wish. The iPhone also replaced a lot of other gadgets; 70% said they ditched a dedicated music player device since getting their iPhone, while 55% tossed their camera and 40% got rid of their GPS device.
Though 15% actually isn't that much, it's enough to make you think that of the ten people you know that own iPhones, at least one of them likes their device more than a little bit of lovin'. If you can't figure out who that is, you might want to ask yourself if it's you.

15% of survey respondents pick weekend with iPhone over sex
Yea that is the 15% I don't associate with. Thats just more for me.
Doesnt surprise me a bit.........nerd boys don't know what to do anyway!
And why are the comments turned off in Ashley Esqueda's post?
What I would do to those yams.....
I think you answered your own question there.
I'm going to put this iPad down after this post in hopes of having sex.
If this survey is true, I'd be disappointed in those people.
Yeah to be fair, I have to agree with the concensus here. Most of the 15% probably don't have a chance of sex, are female and have a massively unsatisfying partner, or are too old to give a crap. Hell after a few years with no sex, the instant gratification of an iPhone seems a lot nicer, wouldn't you think?

I've been working on this project on an off for a few months. Its a 7.62x25mm chambered AK front end. Its a 16" barrel with a very short piston (about 1.5") on a regular carrier. I haven't put a gas port in yet. The gas port will be just about 7" from the breech end, if you subtract the 1" approx case length, then 6" from the case mouth. I'm starting to worry that if the bullet has not left the barrel by the time the bolt rotates and begins to extract then I will get a case head rupture . I really don't want to blow this up.
I've seen a few other builds, notably PBB's build here, but that build used an AMD length piston and 5/32" gas port (.156") and a carrier which has been significantly lightened, recoil spring reduced. the other reference point I have is Gnarlytoe's build:
The AK Forum :: Log in
which uses a krink piston and an 20" barrel and a .205" gas port, recoil spring reduced. I can't seem to find a reference for the length of a krinkov piston, but it's longer than 1.5" by appearance anyway.
Is there a calculation for timing an ak barrel? Chamber pressure, port size, port distance from breech, carrier weight, and barrel overall length? there are a ton of variables! Also, bullet acceleration: if a tok round is going 1400fps from a 4" pistol barrel, then at the 6" gas port mark (1400 fps x 12" = 16800" per second. 16800 / 11 inches of remaining barrel = 1/1518th of a second to leave the barrel. The acceleration of the carrier backwards is going to be many times slower, + the spring's resistance, but I have no idea what the carrier weight is or what the pressure is at 6" mark, or how to factor in the gas port size.
then again I might just be making myself crazy.

Also, they've already said they're doing GW2 differently from GW1 when it comes to selling boxes, they're not going to aim for 6 month windows, and they'll be doing normal expansions, rather than stand alone games.

1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.

Well as many of us have already come to the conclusion about, WoW is a different beast than these other MMOs.

Eh, the main reason is that WoW is a polished game.
SWTOR could have taken away a couple or more million subs from WoW easy, maybe even half the subs. Why did TOR fail (in this regard)? It wasn't polished. Warhammer? Wasn't polished. AOC? Wasn't polished. Etc, etc, etc. All these companies rush out games that have blatant problems with them and then they do badly. Wow, big surprise there.
It has nothing to do with becoming an invincible killing machine in most of the content. Heck, if anything that's detrimental. Think of how much content WoW would have if all the content stayed relevant? But frankly, most of its content is pointless and lame, because you can now solo 40-man raids from Vanilla, etc, etc. Heck, they aren't even great at keeping new content out there, despite the fact they could easily afford to (but that costs monies they rather pocket). So why do they do so well? It's bloody polished. And despite what some may say, it was largely quite polished when it first came out too. Sure, it had its problems, but the interface was sound, mobs moved around rather than just sat still, NPCs would interact with you and say things, etc, etc, etc (and it was less of a timesink than other MMOs when it came out). That's all part of polish and most MMOs just don't have that.
WoW Execs can afford to spend as little money on WoW development as possible, not because WoW is super-mega-awesome. Rather, it's good enough, polished, and...it has no viable competition. The latter is a key element to WoW's success. It's never faced valid competition, because all of its competitors have been horribly flawed. That gives it a huge market advantage.
GW2 seems pretty polished to me. The DE and Heart systems make the world feel alive. The interface feels responsive. So it is going to do well unless they are hiding some sort of major problem with higher level zones.
It isn't like GW2 doesn't have a lot of stuff to do at max level. So people that enjoy the game will stay. They don't have to resort to treadmills and psychological tricks to keep people playing, because they aren't demanding a sub fee. That changes the dynamic of the playerbase a lot. They don't have to convince people to log in every week. It's ok if they take a week or a month off or wait for new content or whatever.
It also helps that they aren't trying to compete for the exact same people that really like WoW. That's another problem that has plagued MMOs and emphasized their faults. If a game is doing what WoW does, then it better be really good, otherwise people will go to WoW. GW2 is an themepark MMORPG in a fantasy-tech setting. Beyond that it is quite different from WoW and isn't trying to be WoW. That's an advantage not a disadvantage.

I figure it will take me a couple of hundred hours of gameplay just to exlore each races zone and then if add in some WvWvW I will get my 60 bucks out of it. Spent 2 hours wandering around Divinities Reach last night and saw maybe 1/4 of it. I see me playing for 4 - 6 months minimum and probably longer

Decent article. I can see where he's coming from with a lot of the social concerns during events and such. That's not really an aspect that would bother me one way or the other, though, so I don't see it as a big deal.
The trinity issue was a bit of a shock. A full group of devs and they couldn't beat their own content without him resorting to a healing/support role? I hope that was just a fluke run, or maybe that they hadn't nailed down the difficulty to a proper level. I guess we'll see how it plays out once the playerbase gets the hang of it.

"Will Guild Wars 2 work since it isn't like World of Warcraft?"
Fixed the title for the columnist. It was about his personal concerns when comparing it to WoW so it seemed a little obvious of a read. Most of the points he made I like in GW2 so I can't really relate.
Two things though:
1. How is a game where you only run dungeons with guild members less engaging with them than being able to run any part of the game that you've both leveled up to. His reasoning there makes no sense.
2. I would say that in a dungeon situation everyone should be healing others when they can. I'm not sure where he would have to "sit back" and heal people unless he assumed he couldn't do both. Having this dual or even tri role for each person may take some time for people to adjust. Hopefully they don't dumb the content down where people don't have to watch out for those around them.
The only point I share is with the bugs. There are usually some in every launch so we'll just have to hope for the best.

7 years of PvP in DAoC, I consider myself a PvP'r, not hardcore, but it's the heart of the game for me.
GW2 is the first game that i've actually enjoyed PvE in, i've stomached part of woW, most of SW:TOR, parts of Rift and all of Warhammer, but that's all it was, getting by it so I can PvP in big mans land.
Don't get me wrong, ima WvW like a mofo, but this is the first game I myself enjoyed PvE in.

Read it again.
I am dealing with two entirely separate points and each is criticised on different grounds.
That should be perfectly obvious to anyone reading what I wrote - as is the fact that trying to tie to two together to make a spurious point is ridiculous.
In this case - your lack of comprehension does not equate to my lack of clarity, or indeed a hypocritical arguement.
So - I will explain once again in case you just have the wrong end of the stick....
Firstly - one cannot judge in-game community interraction from any number of betas - to claim otherwise is patently ridiculous. No-one can say if it is going to be good, bad or indifferent because it cannot be judged from a limited access test where everyone is rushing around to try things out and not pacing themselves in any way. 'Haters', 'fanbois' and everyone in-between - we all need to wait and see.
On the entirely seperate point you highlight, I can judge the difficulty of a dungeon run in a beta because I played it and we eventually completed it after an enjoyable struggle. I am not a Dev - neither were the other players presumably (not that it matters of course....) - and we did far, far better than the reviewer reported the Dev's did. Ergo - he cannot judge whether the 'no trinity' model is not working based on their singular failure. The dungeon is clearly 'do-able' and with the no-trinity mode in full effect. I know plenty of others who's direct in-game experience matches my own in this regard.
The article is shot through with examples of single instance anecdotes and observations which any secondary school pupil would recognise as unrepresentative in terms of 'sample size'. Marrying such a critically limited exposure to the perceived problems and then making game-wide sweeping predictions with the strongest language possible is terrible journalism and maximises the chances of it being unrepesentative of the truth and therefore entirely misleading.
I don't mind criticism when it deals with real issues in a reasonable way - in fact I welcome it.
This article however was not in any way an example of that - which is a shame, because two of the points raised were legitimate and warranted being raised by someone with more analytical skill and credibility.

I like the color and texture and really like that it's lined...although the lining is plastic and was dented a little bit when I received it in the mail so I recommend buying in-store if you can. Very happy with this purchase overall. August 19, 2013
The color is darker than expected I ordered this online during a sale event so I got it for a good price. The quality of this shade seems decent. The color turned out to be darker than I expected, considering it is described as off-white. October 24, 2013

text: Intuition and love of the grape prompted Clarke Swanson to plant this much-maligned grape on his Oakville estate some 20 years ago. The result, year after year, is a stunner: vibrant aromas, flavors of ripe peach and pear, and a clean goodbye kiss will leave you feeling strangely tingly, giggly even—and possessed by the perfectly outrageous notion of pairing it with caviar and potato chips (as we do in the Salon), the centerpiece of a picnic in bed or a sunny afternoon doing nothing at all. Wanna know what a Pinot Grigio grape tastes like on the vine? Buy a case and find out; this grape loses nothing in translation.

Flow for iPhone and iPad review
Flow is a puzzle game for the iPhone and iPad where you have to connect matching colors with a pipe to create a flow. The catch is that these pipes will break if they cross or overlap, so you must find the perfect paths that allow all pipes to be created even though some of them will not be taking the shortest route.
So that's the objective of Flow: connect all the dots to create matching pairs and fill up the entire board. For most levels, filling up the board isn't an issue, but every once in awhile you'll encounter a level where it's possible to create all the pipes without using the entire board.
There are two different game modes: free play and time trial. In free play, you have as much time as you want for each level, but the goal is to complete each level in as few moves as possible. In time trial, your goal is to pass as many level as possible in 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 4 minutes.
Flow comes with 5 different board sizes for iPhone: 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, 8x8, and 9x9. It also comes with 5 board sizes for the iPad: 10x10, 11x11, 12x12, 13x13, and 14x14. All off these board sizes include 30 levels, which means that Flow comes with a total of 300 levels for free.
The free version of Flow is ad supported, but if you purchase any level packs, each of which contain an addition 150 levels for $0.99, the ads will be removed. There is a total of three level packs available. Unfortunately, there isn't a discounted "all levels" pack available.
The good
- Bright colors (others may view this as a con?)
- Fun
- Challenging
- Addicting
- Includes a lot of levels for free
- Universal for iPhone and iPad
The bad
- I've been told that the navigation icons are stolen from Windows Phone?
- No in-app purchase that includes all purchases at a discount rate
The bottom line
Flow for iPhone and iPad is a really fun puzzle game for the iPhone and iPad. The goal is extremely easy to understand and the beginning levels do a great job of not being too difficult, but as you progress through the game, the levels become quite challenging, especially on the huge iPad levels.

I just started playing this today and it is a great game: fun and a good thinking challenge. Have only played this on my iPhone 4s because I don't have an iPad yet.
I love the game on my Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Good to see it for iOS.
Thanks for the review and comments. Flow Free is now availble for Android. You can get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigduckgames.flow
This game is wonderful and I have just finished all 300 puzzles! I took screenshots of the solutions of all 14x14 puzzles, so if you are interested, just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll send them to you. :)

Approximately 1,400 employees of Savannah River Remediation, the liquid waste contractor for the Savannah River Site, are furloughed until further notice.
Savannah River Remediation President and Project Manager Ken Rueter today sent an email notifying employees of the furloughs. The email states the furloughs are a direct result of the federal government shutdown.
"Although the Department (of Energy) has been able to fund some continued activity for this contract following that date, the continued lapse in appropriations is having a significant impact on continued operations requiring us to make certain employment decisions. Therefore, some Savannah River Remediation employees will be furloughed until further notice. … Like you, we do not know how long this shut down will continue," Rueter's email reads.
Affected employees are encouraged to visit www.srs.gov or call the Site information line, 803-725-SITE (803-725-7483), for information on when to return to work.

Jessica starts to remember her baby's birth, Brody and Jessica are unaware of a threat, and Todd, Tea, Blair and Marty continue to be tormented by Powell...
Kyle is shocked when he goes to Todd's and finds Rebecca answering the door! Rebecca explains that she and Todd are old friends, and that she's watching his boys for a bit, then convinces Kyle to admit why he's there – and Kyle confesses that Todd's granddaughter is still alive! Not wanting her brother to get in trouble for knowing the secret, Rebecca vows to get him out of it, tells Kyle to watch the kids then leaves!
Brody follows Jessica home to Llanfair, and the two go upstairs to check on Chloe, who Jessica stares at – wishing she could protect her girls forever. Over talk of their relationship, Jessica admits, "I never thought that I'd feel this way again." As Brody and Jessica share a kiss, Bree appears and asks, "Why were you kissing that man?" After introductions, though Bree wants Brody to go to Aunt Natalie's wedding, Jessica makes up an excuse then takes Bree off to bed. Shortly after, Jessica returns and hears Brody telling a sleeping Chloe that they hit the lottery – by Chloe getting Jessica as her mother, and by Brody getting Jessica as his girlfriend. When Jessica goes to his side, Brody promises her that they'll be together soon then says that some secrets are okay to keep. His statement causes Jessica to have a flashback to the night her baby was born – then Jessica gasps and stares at Chloe! Brody wonders what's wrong, and Jessica blames all that's going on with Hope's exhumation for her anxiety then says that she doesn't know what she would do if she ever lost her baby.
As Jessica walks Brody out, Rebecca sneaks into Chloe's room and smiles down at the baby!
At the KAD Frat House, after Tea announces that she'll kill Todd, Blair and Marty protest, but Tea claims that she's going to put them all out of their misery – once and for all! Tea puts on a good show, and Powell explains how things are going to go down – Tea's going to stab Todd, to give Marty, and even Blair, justice, he's going to leave and Todd is going to die! Powell unties Tea but announces that she won't be stabbing Todd – she's going to shoot him! After Tea takes the gun from Powell, she aims it at Todd then turns the gun on Powell, who knew she could never kill Todd and says, "I put an empty clip in the gun!" As Powell points a loaded gun at Tea, Todd pleads with him to let the women go. "If you had to pick," Powell asks Todd, "which one matters to you the most? Whoever you pick, lives, and the other two don't." When Todd can't pick, Powell leaves Marty with Todd – and takes Blair and Tea away!
Alone with Todd, Marty looks around the room and starts remembering everything about the night that she was raped! Seeing Marty's reaction, Todd asks, "Marty, what's wrong?"
Powell takes Blair and Tea down to the basement, but when they refuse to enter a back room, Tea tries to run – and Powell shoots! Tea screams then falls down the stairs!
Still in Dorian's bedroom, Lola laughs about Langston and Markko then says, "They wanted a night to remember… Langston and Markko and baby makes three!" After Ray demands the truth from Lola, and asks what drugs she's taken, Lola reminds her father that he knows nothing about the truth then eludes Dorian's pressure to tell them what she did to Langston and Markko. "Do condoms work when you poke holes into them?" Lola smirks.
Over at The Palace, after Langston hands Markko a condom, one she explains that Dorian gave her, they move to the bed and Langston opens the condom! Just then, Dorian calls Langston and Markko's cell phones, but the kids don't answer – until the room phone rings. Langston is shocked to hear Dorian say, "Those condoms I gave you, if you use them you could end up pregnant!" Though Dorian doesn't give her an explanation, Langston promises not to use them, hangs up, then is relieved that Markko never wanted to use 'Dorian's condoms' anyway – and that he brought his own! Langston and Markko make love!
Back at the mansion, Dorian assures Ray that she got to Langston in time. Ray warns Lola that they are going to talk later, when she's not high, about why she does the things she does to people, but Lola wants to play confessional now and admits that she's done something awful to hurt him. Suddenly, Lola thinks Dorian is her mother and screams, "Mama, you're supposed to be dead! I killed you!" Lola explains how she found her mother in bed with another man then cries about how she didn't know what to do – and how she could have saved her father – then cries, "I killed Mama and made you pay." Ray is devastated but holds Lola and promises, "Everything is going to be all right."

And we're to believe somehow TiPB is taking the high road by re-reporting the story on its site and titling the post with such a "Tabloid-esque" and dramatic (and false) title that it is hard to ignore? Please, I can't see applying a moral reporting standard to anyone if you can't observe it yourself. I like this site, don't get me wrong, but this article seems a bit hypocritical...how about thanking him for finding it and making it public as opposed to developing malicious code?
ZOMG! Ziphone Dude Crashing iPhones With Malicious Audio Code?
Forbes.com (via TUAW) is claiming Ziphone jailbreak author Piergiorgio Zambrini has found a way to crash the iPhone (and other computer systems, according to Zambrini's own website) using specially crafted video files:
The bug Zambrini found is in the audio portion of Apple's video format. Knowing the bug exists, someone could write a program that incorporates the bug into a video file and trigger a crash whenever an iPhone attempts to run that file. The bug, which is located in a shared code library that is used across most Apple operating systems and some Linux ones as well, doesn't appear to cause any permanent damage, but immediately sends the device into a panic that leads to a lengthy reboot.
Since it crashed the device and not just the app, one security expert quoted feels it's a kernal vulnerability that's been discovered. Zambrini, who paradoxically claims to have both applied for a job with Apple's security team, and that working for Apple is not his goal, is apparently exploring the vulnerability as a way to inject malicious code.
Howsabout next time we be a little more responsible and keep the information confidential, alerting only the OS makers involved, giving them a reasonable amount of time to patch the problem before we put real world end-users at risk by alerting bad guys to potential exploits, b'okay?

ZOMG! Ziphone Dude Crashing iPhones With Malicious Audio Code?
Sorry, spook, but that don't fly. Once it's out, it's out, and people have to be informed so they can prepare if any exploits do hit the wild. DNS cache poisoning was handled the right way (even if some experts guessed the specifics after partial disclosure, that partial disclosure only occurred after Microsoft and other major players were fully briefed and had solutions baking). This is closer to the socket-stress leak.
And the title isn't tabloid-esque, it's sarcastic -- though maybe the humor failed as badly as the handling of the exploit? ;)
That Doesn't fly? Wow...feels like an episode of the Sopranos...
I'm still at a loss as to how you are faulting someone for making a security risk public, as you re-report the same story? Are you lost on the connection at all? I'm not faulting you for reporting it, but you are faulting someone else for the doing the same thing (someone who informed Apple in details, btw).
And yes, the title is misleading and a stab for attention...as much as if I was to say "TiPB supports people crashing iphones with malicious audio code"...simply because you report a problem doesn't mean you ARE the problem.
Hey Spook- Rene is right.
I also think you're forgetting about the original problem here in the first place. THAT GUY did not report it to Apple right away, he just posted it out to the public first. THAT'S the problem.
The iPhone blog is not Posting this information out to the public what TiPb is doing is LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW that this guy already did this. It's basically a warning.
and for people like ME? who don't read on some losers website i never even knew about this piece of information, so it's basically NEWS to me and helpful to me. Now i can keep myself on sort of an Orange alert status until i see a fix for it.
All well and good points, and I hate to beat a dead horse here, but if you read carefully, and get the whole story from elsewhere besides just here, you'll find he submitted it to Apple's security team long before the Forbe's article hit the net, or his own blog, read, straight from the article, where it mentions JULY:
"Zambrini told Forbes.com that he spotted the bug in July, and sent an e-mail to Jobs explaining what he found."
in fact, he has a history of doing so with previous issues as well over the past year or two. How exactly does 4 months after reporting it to Apple going public with it pan out to him going public first? Or is it just the fanboy stardust messing with people's perceptions of time and date?

|Low-Sugar Pumpkin and Apple Crumble (made with Stevia or Splenda)
Last week I was writing a piece for BlogHer about the difference between winter squash and pumpkin, and I came across a recipe for Pumpkin and Apple Crumble at Nami Nami. Well, as you know if you read that post, winter squashes of all types are called pumpkin in many parts of the world, so today I made a low-sugar version of the recipe with butternut squash to add to the collection of Thanksgiving Recipes. Oh yes, it was indeed delicious, and now I'm just hoping it won't get me into trouble with too many of you.
Then the partially cooked mixture is spread into the bottom of a 9 X 13 inch baking dish. I used a crockery dish, but glass would work well too.
Low-Sugar Pumpkin and Apple Crumble with Cranberries
(Makes about 8 servings, recipe adapted from Pumpkin and Apple Crumble at Nami Nami.)
1 lb. butternut squash (or pumpkin) cubes (just over 4 cups cut squash cubes)
4 apples, chopped (I used 2 gala apples and 2 granny smith)
2 tsp. butter (or margarine)
1/3 cup Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener (or use sugar if you prefer and don't care about the low-sugar part)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or use a bit more cinnamon)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional, these are relatively high in sugar so leave them out if you want to reduce the sugar)
Crumble Topping Ingredients:
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour (or use regular white flour)
1/4 cup almond meal
1 cup rolled oats (use regular or quick-cooking oatmeal, but not instant or extra-thick)
1/2 cup Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener
3-4 T butter (put butter in the freezer when you start the recipe)
While mixture cooks, combine flour, almond meal, oatmeal, and Splenda or Stevia in a plastic bowl. Remove butter from freezer and using the large side of a metal grater, grate pieces of butter until you have 3-4 T, as measured by the markings on the side of the butter wrapper. (I used somewhere between 3 and 4 T of butter.) Then use a pastry blender or fork to combine the mixture until the butter is well distributed and the mixture looks crumbly.
Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Pour cooked squash/apple mixture into the bottom of a 9 X 13 inch casserole dish. (I recommend using a crockery or glass casserole dish, if you only have a metal pan, I would spray it with non-stick spray.) Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of apple/squash mixture in an even layer. Bake 30 minutes, or until the mixture is slightly bubbling and lightly browned on top. Serve hot. (Of course if you're not dieting this would be great with whipped cream or ice cream on top.)

I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

Weather forced a change in the schedule, moving the first serve up to 1:30 p.m. (E.S.T.) and starting with singles action. UAB was off to a hot start of its own, coming off a 4-3 win over Southern Conference opponent and cross-town rival Samford on Wednesday. The Blazers' only other loss was a 4-3 setback to Middle Tennessee.
UTC won all six first sets in the match today, grabbing the momentum from the beginning. Freshman Kayla Jones (Memphis, Tenn.) was first off the court with a (6-3, 6-0) win over Menanteau Moolman at No. 3. Senior Jenna Nurik (Roswell, Ga.) gave UTC a 2-0 lead with her (6-3, 6-1) win over Isabel Fernandez at No. 1.
UTC had its string of five straight shutouts broken when freshman Kelsey Coots (Huntsville, Ala.) dropped her first match of the year. She lost in three sets (1-6, 6-0, 6-1) to Caroline Faught at No. 4.
Sophomore Claire Mulyadi (Semarang, Indonesia) made it 3-1 with a (6-4, 6-4) win over Amy Lowther at No. 5. Freshman Katie Polk (Woodstock, Ga.) clinched the team victory with her (7-5, 6-2) win over Elaine Simon at No. 6.
Sophomore Kaylene Chadwell (Franklin, Tenn.) had a tough battle in the last match at No. 2 against Rachel Daniell. Down 6-5 in the first, she fought off numerous set points before fighting back to force a tiebreaker. She won that 7-4 to take the set 7-6. She went on to win the second set 6-3 and improve to 6-1 on the year.
"Jenna and Kaylene had big wins today at No. 1 and No. 2," stated UTC head coach Jeff Clark. "They both beat girls who were undefeated, so it was a good test for both of them."
Nurik, Jones and Mulyadi all move to 7-0 in singles play. Chattanooga has lost just two points in its seven matches this season and is 40-2 in combined singles.
UTC returns home on Saturday, Feb. 23, to host Jacksonville State. Match time is set for 1:00 p.m. on the UTC Tennis Courts. A link for live scoring is available on the women's tennis schedule page on GoMocs.com.

Mr. Smith Goes to San Francisco, Then Forgets Where He Is
Here's a clip of the devastating hit put on Jets WR Brad Smith by 49ers LB Patrick Willis.
Here's a clip of the devastating hit put on Jets WR Brad Smith by 49ers LB Patrick Willis.
It's been an interesting first two weeks to the NFL season. Ed Hochuli has gone from the ref known for his huge arms to the one known for one of the worst calls in recent memory.
Meanwhile, what's lost in this is that rookie WR Eddie Royal continues to put up numbers, even with Brandon Marshall back from suspension. And as an additional plus, it came against a team better than the Raiders!
Mike Martz may have an effect in San Francisco after all, as Frank Gore is doing his best vintage Marshall Faulk impression. Perhaps not to that degree, but he'll be a good option all year long. See if his owner in your league might not be a believer yet and try to trade for him–I was able to snag him fairly late in a couple of my drafts.
The best fantasy omen may be the Detroit Lions defense, who the aforementioned Gore plays this week. This also makes JT O'Sullivan a viable fantasy option to grab if your starter has a tough matchup. There's also an off chance he may keep it up past Detroit. Seattle and Detroit (the Niners previous and next opponents) rank 25th and 27th, respectively, in pass defense.
It might be time to cut bait on Packers RB Ryan Grant, though I hate to say it. I was a big fan of his entering the season, but hamstring injuries don't heal quickly and Brandon Jackson is no slouch himself. If you can handcuff, I'd do so. If you can unload Grant for anything close to his preseason value, I'd do that too.
Though it pains me, someone who deserves more patience is the Cannabis Kid himself, Miami RB Ricky Williams. Though he's taken a couple years off, he was once a dominant back, and could be so again once he shakes the rust off. However, there's a good chance the problem is him (or the crappy offensive line). If he still sucks going into Week 5, I'd cut him then.
I read an article the other day that compared Chiefs RB Larry Johnson to Eddie George, and I can't help but find the similarities alarming (disclosure: Especially as a Chiefs fan). He's another guy, like Grant, that I would trade if you can get anything close to preseason value. It may be time to stash Jamaal Charles too, if you're in a deep league.
Since the Seahawks are signing WR Koren Robinson and considering it an upgrade to their receiving corps, I think it's safe to say you should temper your expectations for Matt Hasselbeck for the next few weeks. Coach Mike Holmgren said that he doesn't expect WRs Deion Branch and Bobby Engram to return before the bye week. This implies that they'll return shortly thereafter, so if you can trade for Hasselbeck (or pick him up in Free Agency), it'd be a worthwhile move. Remember, playing well in the fantasy playoffs is what counts, and it looks like they'll be airing it out a lot by then with their struggling backfield.
Lastly, a word about the site. We're working on fixing some of the minor problems (gliches, out of date quantitative analysis), but the qualitative stuff / blog info should continue to be top notch. It'll take a little while to update everything, but we're getting it done and taking it very seriously. If you have any questions, about the site, or want personal advice about fantasy football, love, or life in general, direct them to grafton at myfantasyball dot com. I'll do my best to answer them in a timely manner.

How many of you are familiar with manatees? If you said they are large, full aquatic, mostly herbivorous mammals, you would be right. If you said something else like, weren't they a punk band that had a hit song in the 80s called "Bite Me," you, obviously, don't know jack about manatees.
Now, the manatee, sometimes called Sea Cows by insensitive people who are unaware these gentle mammals have battled a weight problem since, well, since they were born, like to keep a low profile. They lie in the shallows eating sea stuff (I think that's the correct scientific term) and occasionally rise to the surface for a breath of fresh air. However, recently, the manatees' peaceful existence has been tread on by no other than the same group that has brought us government gridlock – the Tea Party.
It all started when Ana Gutierrez decided she wanted to mount one of the strange creatures and take it for a ride. The report that got Gutierrez in trouble described her as a strange woman touching and riding a manatee at Fort Desodo Park, Fla. She was in violation of the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act. The riding of a manatee is subject to a $500 fine and six months in jail. The touching, well that's a different story. That's a felony and could put Gutierrez in the big house with a roommate who likes to call herself "Butch."
Now, you might be saying, "Lock her away," or "That's no way to treat the gentle manatee," or, possibly, "I want me some manatee, now!" Okay, if you're in that third group, just settle down. The beloved manatee, also thought to be the origin of mermaid legends, needs to be left alone. However, the Tea Party has decided to meddle in this issue.
"Riding the manatee … stands for liberty and freedom and doing what we want to do without harming anyone else," Tea Party spokesman Michael Coffman said recently. I would like to point out that Coffman was being completely serious. In addition, I think Coffman is a little too much into manatees. In fact, I think he may be a toucher."
Coffman went on to say, "Today we can't ride a manatee, tomorrow we won't be able to open a business … The purpose of the endangered species act isn't to protect endangered species, it's to deny people private property."
Now, I've tried to think how preventing someone from riding an endangered species will lead to preventing someone from opening a business, but I cannot follow that logic. Well, logic is probably the wrong word. The right word might be demented, crazed, or, simply, stupid.
However, in the bazarro universe of the Tea Party, it might go something like this. A guy goes in and fills out an application for a loan to start a business … say, a hate mongering corporation. Everything is going just fine until … he gets to the question that asks, "Have you ever ridden a manatee or any other endangered species?" Thinking this is a silly question that some bored employee threw into the mix for fun, he answers, "Yes, I have a stable of manatees that I and my friends ride on the weekends. Sometimes we even play manatee polo."
The next thing he knows, not only has he been denied the business loan, but he has been put on the manatee molestation list and is told he must visit everyone in his neighborhood to tell them he is a manatee molester. He is then fired from his job and ends up living in a van down by the river.
Now, I like strangeness, whether it's in movies, books or life, for that matter. The Mistress of the Manor can tell you that even I can be a bit strange at times … okay, often. But how anyone can make a connection between being arrested for harassing an endangered species and being denied the right to own property takes strangeness to a whole new level. It's this kind of reasoning that makes getting anything done in Washington a monumental task.

text: Well the only thing I can tell you is to make sure you have all the right settings. Make sure all the paths are right. If all else fails, then it's out of my range. I don't know about disc loading, so I never used WiiGator or anything to install custom MIOS's. Do you have a link for the official MIOS V10? And can that be installed with wad manager?
