Intel Reveals Clover Trail CPU Details, Highlights Seven Upcoming Windows 8 Tablets
Intel is ready to take the lid off of Clover Trail, the newest member of the company's Atom low-power processors. Along with Clover Trail info comes official announcements from seven Intel partners showing off hybrid Windows 8 devices that will soon be available. Intel is promising three weeks of 'connected standby' and up to 10 hours of HD video playback possible from Clover Trail devices.
PC Advisor Asks "What is an Ultrabook anyway?" Because They Apparently Aren't Sure
With talk about the potential dilution of the Ultrabook brand one would almost think that Intel hasn't set clear guidelines about what defines an Ultrabook. On the contrary, whether or not a laptop manufacturer calls a new product an Ultrabook tells me a whole lot about the product right away. PC Advisor has run a story claiming that "The truth is that there are few definitive specifications for an Ultrabook," apparently not realizing that this is part of the strategy.
Ultimate Coder Ultrabook Challenge Week 6 – Last Chance for Changes
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Software Development, Ultimate Coder on September 27, 2012
The six teams competing in the Ultimate Coder Ultrabook Challenge have one more day to go. On the 28th September they must submit their final code to Intel. In the following week I will be testing and scoring with the other judges and on October 8th we're going to see who's won $10K.
Yes this is a promotional activity by Intel, but it's one of the most interesting and educational I've ever been involved in. We've all learnt a lot and a useful trail of posts has been left by the contestants for anyone thinking about creating an Ultrabook-focused version of their Windows 8 application for either desktop or Windows 8 Store. You can find all of the posts, plus my commentary, here.
So on to the final week. Was it all about bug-fixing? Did anyone have to drop features? Read-on

Win an Ultrabook – 6 Chances
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Deals and Offers on September 25, 2012
It seems there are a lot of Ultrabook giveaways going on at the moment. Three passed my twitter timeline a few minutes ago so I thought I'd search for some more and link them up for you. Most of these will be US-only offers. If you've spotted anything in your country, or are running a promotion, drop the information in the comments.
All the current competitions we know about are listed below. Don't shoot the messenger if they're not in your location or have finished already!
Electrified – With David Blaine and an Ultrabook?
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on September 25, 2012
I'm disappointed. Intel teases an Ultrabook experience called 'always on' and I'm getting excited that it's a challenge to see how much battery life one can get out of an Ultrabook. It turns out it's a stunt by David Blaine.
Worse still, it's in New York so I can't even go and see it.
I suspect the '3 Days, 3 Nights' and 'One Million Volts' theme means he'll be inside a cage. If we're lucky he'll make an Ultrabook last that long!
Black Mesa is a Free Remake of Half-Life, Here's How to Optimize It for Your Ultrabook [video]
If you know about Black Mesa, congratulations — you're a gamer. This obscure fan-lead remake of Valve's famous 1998 title Half-Life has long been shrouded in mystery. Going on 8 years of development, with the only mention of a release date being "when it's done", most thought Black Mesa would never see the light of day. However, earlier this month the official website for the remake began buzzing with hints of activity. To the delight of fans worldwide, Black Mesa has finally launched and is ready to let players relive the opening chapter of the Half-Life saga. The remake, which has completely rebuilt from the ground up, runs on Valve's 'Source' game engine. What's more, because it is a modification of Source, it has been released for free. Fortunately for Ultrabook users the powerful HD3000 or HD4000 graphics inside are quite capable of handling modern Source games with the right settings. In this video I'll show you how to optimize your settings to play Black Mesa and other Source games on your Ultrabook.
Make Your Own Modular Docking Station
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Review on September 24, 2012
Thunderbolt docks: expensive. WiGig docks: Not until 2013. Proprietary docks: Seldom seen on consumer laptops. USB3.0 solutions – cheap and available.
If you want to use your Ultrabook, or any recent laptop on the desk, there's a lot of options talked about, but not much available. You're left with plugging in that HDMI, the keyboard and mouse, DVD drive, network cable and speakers every morning. Every time you want to use the laptop away form the desk you have to go through the same procedure. It costs time, is annoying and kills those connectors. Following up from my review of the Toshiba Dynadock U3, a USB3.0 docking system, I thought I'd try to build the same myself for USB3.0 components. Here's the modular USB3.0 docking station…
Intel and Sharp could bring IGZO Screens to Ultrabooks
The power used by a screen in a laptop is becoming a major issue. As other components in laptops reduce their power, the percentage of total system power used by the screen and backlight is growing. 20-30% average is common but if you're just reading a static page, the backlight could account for up to 50%. Come Haswell, that could jump to 70% or more in quiet-state operations. Advances in battery technology aren't forthcoming so anything to get rid of those LED backlights is going to be worth taking a close look at. IGZO (Indium, Gallium, Zinc Oxide) technology could be one of the few answers.
2012 Ultrabooks Reach $599 and €599. Vizio Leads.
Forget Intel's prediction of $699 Ultrabooks. Forget our own prediction of $599 by the end of the year! The $599 Ivy Bridge Ultrabook is here already with the a great offer on the Vizio CT14. In Europe, prices have dipped to below €599.
It's Vizio that have come through with the most impressive offer. The Vizio CT14-A0 1.8Ghz Ivy Bridge (Core i3) with a 128GB SSD and 1600×900 IPS screen. We can hardly believe that! It even comes with a Windows Signature (no bloatware) build of Windows 7 Home Premium. It's at $599 at Amazon today.

2010 in Touring: Tough Times on The Road
By Ray Waddell
Any way you look at it, 2010 was a challenging year for the touring business.
There are, of course, plenty of ways to look at it. And, to be sure, business wasn't down for everyone. Certain sectors -- including country, most major festivals and tours by superstars in pop, urban and dance/electronic-performed well. The enduring draw of superstars is reflected by the achievements of the year's top touring acts, including Bon Jovi, U2, AC/DC, Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas. Other veteran talents account for the balance of the year's top 10 tours: James Taylor/Carole King, the Eagles, Metallica, the Dave Matthews Band and Paul McCartney.

Niger-Congo languages, a family of languages of Africa, which in terms of the number of languages spoken, their geographic extent, and the number of speakers is by far the largest language family in Africa. The area in which these languages are spoken stretches from Dakar, Senegal, at the westernmost tip of the continent, east to Mombasa in Kenya and south to Cape Town, South Africa. Excluding northern Africa (Mauritania to Egypt and The Sudan) and the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia to Somalia), some 85 percent of the population of Africa—at least 600 million people—speak a Niger-Congo language. In two countries, Niger and Chad, Niger-Congo languages are spoken by a minority. In northern Nigeria, northern Uganda, and Kenya there are substantial populations speaking other languages, but even in these countries the majority of the population speaks a Niger-Congo language.
The latest estimation of the number of Niger-Congo languages is about 1,400. All of these are considered to be distinct languages and not simply dialects. The named dialects of these languages number many thousands more, not to mention the variant names for those languages and dialects. For example, Swahili alone has 17 separate dialects and 15 additional variant names for some of the dialects.
With such a huge language family spread so widely across a vast continent, the question naturally arises: If these languages are genetically related, where was their original homeland? What light do the relationships that are evident in the languages today and the current geographic location of these languages shed on the history of the peoples of Africa? One of the leading 20th-century scholars of Niger-Congo languages, Kay Williamson, argues on the basis of the principle of least moves that for the Benue-Congo languages (which account for half of the Niger-Congo family) there is evidence pointing to an original homeland in the area of the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers. Over many centuries, the peoples of the Benue-Congo group spread out mostly south and east. Beyond Williamson's rather convincing hypothesis and broadening the discussion to all the other branches of Niger-Congo, there is no consensus among scholars as to the origins and historical development of Niger-Congo languages.
Early records
Though Arabic documents of the 10th, 11th, and 12th centuries cite a few words that are probably taken from Niger-Congo languages, the earliest clearly identifiable words are found in Portuguese records in 1506. These words probably come from Karanga, a southeastern Bantu language. From then on eastern Bantu words and phrases occur in Portuguese records, and in 1523 a vocabulary that resembles modern Akan from Ghana was also recorded. In 1591 the Italian mathematician Filippo Pigafetta included a number of Kongo words and phrases in a description of the kingdom of Congo that he based on information provided by Oduardo Lopez, a Portuguese traveler to Luanda in 1578. The first extant book written in a Niger-Congo language was published in 1624. This 134-page book was the work of three Jesuit priests. It consists of a catechism in Portuguese with an interlinear translation into Kongo.
In 1659 the first known grammar of an African language, a 98-page study of Kongo, was published in Rome; it was the work of Giacinto Brusciotto, an Italian missionary, who notably described the characteristic noun class system. Though several other vocabularies and grammatical sketches followed, that century and the next saw a rather sparse number of works on African languages. Only in the 19th century did a significant number of vocabularies and grammars appear, and they came mostly from the pens of missionaries. They varied greatly in quality, and many were constrained by a Latin grammar straitjacket. Among the notable exceptions was the work of J.G. Christaller of the Basel Mission, whose grammar (1875) of the Asante (Ashanti) and Fante (Fanti) languages shows exceptional insight into language structures.

Between the 1980 and 2010, the rate of diabetes diagnoses in women doubled. Though many factors, such as increased body mass index, may be a contributor to the phenomenon, some believe there are other factors involved. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) have found a possible association between high concentrations of phthalates, a common ingredient in personal beauty products, and increased diabetes risk in women.
To give a little background on this study, previous studies have shown that women tend to have higher concentrations of phthalate metabolites in urine samples than men. Phthalates are a class of chemicals used in many products. Examples include food packaging, cosmetics, perfumes, nail polishes, and industrial products. Because of the ever increasing use of these chemicals, more than 75% of the U.S. population have detectable levels of phthalates. The higher levels in women have been attributed to higher use of personal care products however, few studies have been done to see if there might be a correlation between phthalate metabolites and diabetes risk in women.
Tamarra James-Todd, PhD, a researcher in the Division of Women's Health at BWH, led this study and set out to see if indeed there were any correlation between high phthalate metabolites and diabetes risk in women. She analyzed data received from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2008. After certain women were excluded for sociodemographic and behavioral factors, the total number ended up being about 2,350 women included in the study. According to the study, which was published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, "women with higher urine levels of MnBP, MiBP, MBzP, MCPP, and ΣDEHP [phthalates] were more likely to have reported diabetes than women with the lowest levels, even after accounting for sociodemographic, behavioral, and dietary factors."
This is an interesting study as it is the first of its kind to make such a correlation between a common chemical used in cosmetics and diabetes risk in women. However, I personally wouldn't sound the alarm just yet. One thing this study didn't account for was the fact that "phthalates also exist in certain types of medical devices and medication that is used to treat diabetes and this could also explain the higher level of phthalates in diabetic women." In my opinion, that is big issue that needs to be addressed. For instance, it would be interesting to see what phthalate levels look like in women who are newly diagnosed with diabetes and haven't started any prescription regimen. The author of the study also did admit that this is just a first step and that more research should be done.

Fine crystal can easily last a lifetime—or two—if you take the proper care of it. To safeguard your crystal and to keep it looking its best, here are some basic rules from Artel, crafters of some of our favorite mouth-blown crystal.
When storing your crystal, make sure each glass is protected from knocking against another piece.
If caring for crystal sounds like an effort in these convenience-seeking (and staff-limited) days, consider:
An exquisite piece of hand-blown crystal is a work of art, created by a craftsperson for you to enjoy for a lifetime. Its sparkle and ping will give you (and your guests) great pleasure every time you hold it. Crystal is the goblet of kings, and you have the ability to own and enjoy pieces just as beautiful.

You can file this story under Stuff I Want For Christmas. According to the BBC, a group of divers off the coast of Finland recently discovered a shipwreck they believe dates back to the late 18th Century. In the remains of the ship they found several intact glass bottles of wine, their contents still well preserved.
So what did they do? What any self-respecting wine lover would do.They drank some.
Believed to be Veuve Clicquot Champagne dating from between 1782 and 1788, the wine "had a very sweet taste, you could taste oak and it had a very strong tobacco smell. And there were very small bubbles" according to diver Christian Ekstrom.
While that isn't much of a tasting note, it still sends shivers of delight down my spine. How cool would it be to taste such a piece of history? A champagne that is almost as old as America itself would certainly be one of the most amazing things you would ever have the opportunity to consume.
Before this find, the oldest vintage of Champagne that had been tasted in modern times was the 1825 vintage of Perrier-Jouet opened for wine experts and the press last year.
It's not clear exactly how the determination was made that these were Veuve Cliquot, or what will happen to the 29 remaining bottles which presumably fall under the jurisdiction of the Finnish government.
The same BBC article suggested that unnamed "wine experts" suggested that the bottles could sell for about $69,000 each at auction.
Given the chance, I'd much rather have a sip of one of these bottles than an old claret that might have belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Anyone want to bet whether Bill Koch will get his hands on some?

ICBA Community Bankers Meet with the President To Discuss Key Community Bank Issues
Washington, D.C. (December 22, 2009)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) announced that eight of its member community bankers attended a meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House today to discuss key community bank issues and additional ways community banks can help both their local economies and the nation recover from the economic crisis. The ICBA community bank members also voiced concerns that community banks continue to face overly aggressive examinations that can hinder small-business lending.
"Our nation's more than 8,000 Main Street community banks continue to serve the needs of their local customers and are critical to our nation's economic recovery," said Camden R. Fine, ICBA president and CEO. "ICBA is pleased the President chose to meet with community bankers to discuss ways the administration can help community banks enhance their lending. We thank the President for hosting this meeting and for listening to the needs of local community banks."
ICBA community bank members who attended the White House meeting are ICBA Chairman-Elect Jim MacPhee, CEO of Kalamazoo County State Bank in Schoolcraft, Mich.; Larry Bauer, president of Planters & Merchants Bank in Gillet, Ark.; Mathew Gambs, CEO of Diamond Bancorp in Schaumburg, Ill.; Paul Mello, president and CEO of Solvay Bank in Solvay, N.Y.; William Pierce, president and CEO of Monadnock Community Bank in Petersborough, N.H.; Rebeca Romero Rainey, chairman and CEO of Centinel Bank of Taos, N.M.; Mark Schroeder, president and CEO of German American Bancorp in Jasper, Ind.; and Deloris Sims, chairman and CEO of Legacy Bank in Milwaukee.
ICBA has worked closely with the administration and Congress over the past year to ensure that community banks, which never participated in the risky lending practices that led to the financial crisis, can continue to lend to their local customers, especially small businesses. In fact, while community banks with $1 billion in assets or less represent about 12 percent of all bank assets, they support 31 percent of all small business loans that are less than $1 million. ICBA hopes that today's White House meeting will help community banks continue to serve this vital segment of the marketplace, which drives job creation and our economy. ICBA looks forward to continuing its work with the administration and Congress to ensure that community banks can continue to serve the needs of their local communities for generations to come.

I'm currently working on a double reverse cable. Its 36 stitches across in a thick alpaca. It has 3 cables on one side, and 2 on thet other. Got pattern off Lionbrands.com I think. Anyway, I like my man scarves thinner, maybe like 4-5 inches. Anyone have any patterns or tips on places with a good man scarf that involves cables that might only be 4-5 inches thick? Thanks for any help. Love th egroup so far.
I haven't knitted this one.. but here's a link. http://www.yarnagogo.com/good_ole_cabled_scarf/ I am pretty sure that Chris knitted it though..
When I tried that alpaca on smaller needles, I didn't think it looked as well. Kinda lost some of the texture of the alpaca. I"m using I believe 10 1/2 needles. I think I want a atotally different cable design, just narrower. Thanks, Robert
Could you possibly take out one or two of the cables?
Swap needles/yarn?
Ratchett up your gauge? (I know this is what I do inadvertently)

A developmental football program has taken root in Summerville.
The Carolina Chargers held tryouts last month and the team is now holding practice twice a week at the Jerry Blackwell Sports Complex at Gahagan Park. Team officials are planning to join the Gridiron Developmental Football League and anticipate opening their first season with the league in May.
Team owner Lisa Drake says the Chargers are seeking additional players and searching for a place in Summerville where they can hold games on Saturday evenings in the Spring.
"We are looking for both seasoned players and guys just getting out of high school who either just love the game or possibly want a second chance of being noticed," Drake said. "We will video tape all our games so if any coach becomes interested in one of our players we will be able to send them video."
One of the team's goals is to help high-caliber players, who did not receive a college scholarship, get noticed by college scouts and to help players who are no longer eligible for college athletics catch the eye of professional scouts.
But athletes don't have to have college or pro aspirations to join the team.
"We welcome anyone who has the talent to play at this level as long as they will take it serious," Drake said. "The coach expects everyone to show up for practice and work hard. We are planning some community service activities and we will expect our players to embrace that as well."
Practices are conducted in shorts and a team T-shirt for now, but the players will put on pads in October. Drake says the practices are open to both athletes and fans who might have an interest in the team.
Larry Young, a former NFL athlete, has been brought on as the Chargers' head coach. The team currently has around 25 athletes from across the South Carolina Lowcountry. Some of the players have prior experience with GDFL teams such as the Spartans and Bone Crushers.
Drake, as well as some of the players, was part of the Berkeley Rams organization that recently disbanded.
"When things fell through for that team it left guys who wanted to play disappointed so I offered to start a new team," Drake said. "We have a lot of talent and it has been a lot of fun. Everyone is jazzed up about playing and the guys are really coming together as a family."
The Chargers are a non-profit organization and its players do not get paid. Practices will be held every Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. and on Tuesday evenings at Gahagan Park until the Sertoma Youth Football League opens its season.
For more information on the Chargers, contact Drake at 412-3144 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dr. Oetker Creme Caramel, Set of 4 1 1
easy to make, delicious I thought this was very good and easy to make, especially for something requiring no more skill or cook time that a box of pudding. The custard has a vanillay flavor & is sweet without being too sweet - the caramel topping has most of the sweetness and the flavors blend well. It's not a caramel topping such as what you'd put on ice cream; it's more thin and concentrated that that. While this dessert isn't quite as good as a homemade flan or custard dessert, it has a nice texture and flavor. May 3, 2014

text: I ump up my tires religiously before I ride, like 3 or so times (at least) a week. they're always losing air. the thing is, they're brand new tubes. and it will alternate, front and back. I'm kind of new to presta valves, but I've never had this problem before. I'm using a Presta to Schrader adaptor to inflate, if that means anything. I'm so confused; I've never had such a slow, peristent leak. Any ideas?

KSAT Ball Hog Blog: The better late than never NBA Playoffs predictions
I realize this article is a few days late, but I started writing it on Friday and due to unforeseen circumstances (like me being off on the weekend), I didn't finish. But rest assured I made these first round predictions before the weekend to anyone who listened (thanks Chloe my dog).
This was a crazy season to say the least. The NBA jammed 66 games over 4 months and it made for some great action every night unless you got stuck watching a Bobcats game, then God help you.
We had everything from Lob City to Linsanity, Dantoni and Dwight drama, Mr. Odom-Kardashian booted in Big D, Lebron choking again at every opportunity, yet still probably winning MVP, Blake Griffin dunking and destroying lives at the same time, Metta World Peace literally trying to kill a guy, Tankfest 2012 to get the Unibrow and the boring, old, under the radar, (insert demeaning adjective here), Spurs won 50 games again.
It's been fun so now it's time for the second annual KSAT Ball Hog Blog's NBA Playoff predictions going from most interesting series to least, a few days late of course.
I'll throw this out there, no way SA loses this series. The Spurs are ten times healthier compared to last year (looking at you Manu), Parker played at an MVP level this season and Duncan found the fountain of youth. SA's depth and ball movement is also something to be feared. Coach Pop did a masterful job managing the roster and the move to bring back Captain Jack gives the Spurs a guy with playoff experience, who is not afraid to take big shots and some much needed swagger. Yes, the Spurs and swagger, I bet you never thought you would see that in the same sentence.
Utah presents a good challenge because their front line (Favors, Millsap, Jefferson) is solid. They will be physical and mix it up inside. The Salt Lake crowd is notorious for pulling out a playoff game or two, but they are a year away from becoming legit contenders in the West. Spurs in 5.
Yes I saw Game 1. It's safe to say the Knicks didn't show up, but it was just one game and imagine if NY somehow pulled out Game 2. The Garden would be insane for Games 3 and 4. You have to believe Melo and Amare will find a way to make this series interesting or that Tyson Chandler (one of my personal favorites) will make it tough on the Heat inside like he did last year for Dallas.
Or maybe the Heat were just so bored during the season, they are now ready to go on a tear. Scenario 2 seems more likely. I want this series to go 6 or 7 because this matchup brings back good memories, but truth is Lebron, despite his critics, is the best in the game right now on both ends of the floor. Maybe less Spike Lee is a good thing anyways. Heat in 6.
Game 1 tells you everything you need to know about this series. It's going to be down to wire, gut wrenching stuff. It has all the making of those classic up-and-comer teams trying to beat out the veteran championship squad. Dallas lost any chance of repeating when they let Chandler go in the off-season, but they aren't going down easy. It's not in the DNA of guys like Dirk, Kidd, Marion, Terry and Carlisle, but I'm taking OKC.
They have the closer in Durant and just a little too much fire power for the Mavs, assuming Harden's head/beard is straight and Westbrook lets KD do his thing. Get ready for dozens of over-exaggerated Westbrook-Durant hate each other stories. The playoffs are here. Thunder in 7.
George Karl gets my Marv Levy 2012 Award for best coach who will probably never win a title. The Nuggets with Lawson, Danilo and Afflalo are one of the most exciting teams in the league thanks to Karl, but they are running into a brick wall.
The Lakers are ready to make amends for last year's debacle. And speaking of coaches, how about the job Mike Brown has done? He stepped into a no win situation after Phil Jackson left, lost Mr. Odom-Kardashian, dealt with the Gasol trade rumors, traded for Sessions while ousting fan-favorite Derek Fisher, managed Kobe and his ailing knees, got Bynum to flourish and will now have to deal with Metta basically becoming Ron Artest again. I'm not a Lakers fan, but I expect this group to do damage. Lakers in 6.
The Grizz get the kiss of death as they were labeled the "Most dangerous team in the playoffs" and promptly blow a 27-point lead in Game 1. I'm still taking Memphis because I think they will physically wear down the Clippers, but Chris Paul may be the most underrated star in the game if that's even possible.
He turns any team into a playoff contender and lost in the all the Blake high-wire act is CP3 played at an MVP level and is not afraid to take over games in the fourth. I'm almost talking myself out of the Grizz, easy to do after a Game 1 loss, but I'll stick with them to muscle this series out. Grizz in 7.
I really like this Pacers squad and that's tough to say because I'm a Pistons fan. Larry Bird is the anti-Jordan or anti-Isaiah of NBA greats who went on to become execs. He's put together a solid squad that plays hard every night. But can Indy make a run with Danny Granger or David West leading the way? Probably not and what scares me about this series is the Magic moved into "chip on shoulder" territory when diva Dwight called it a season. They want to prove a point. Tough call, but still taking Pacers in 7 (Begrudgingly).
The NBA's version of Groundhog Day is back in the playoffs, welcome back Hawks. I give ATL credit for taking Game 1, but I'm still taking Bean Town even though Rondo and Ray Allen's status is up in the air for Game 2. Maybe I'm really just hoping the Celts make it through because no one else can stand up to Miami now that Rose is done for the playoffs. Celts in 6.
Speaking of Los Toros, they'll beat Philly without D-Rose, but it will be interesting to see how far defense and rebounding takes them. You just can't win a title without a superstar. Philly gets the 2012 participation award and they may steal a game as Chicago comes to grips with losing the former MVP. Bulls in 5.

This week we're celebrating Mother's Day with our friends over at MyFitnessPal. Whether you're a mom or you just happen to have one, you'll find great tips and advice for staying healthy and happy all year long.
Today's post is from Lauren Slayton, the author of The Little Book of Thin and created the Foodtrainers blog. She has a Master's Degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University and appeared on Allure, In Style, Cooking Light and more. She previously wrote about mastering your fridge and 10 Ways Busy Moms Can Stay Healthy.
Almost daily during nutrition sessions in my office, clients say, "I want my mother to come in for a visit," or, "My wife needs to see you." Statements like these make me squirm.
I know all too well from doing this for a very long time (I started Foodtrainers on the verge of motherhood myself, and my "baby" is now 12) that buying someone nutrition sessions or a gym membership doesn't always work. And yet I totally get that watching a family member ignore their health can be difficult and frustrating.
…buying someone nutrition sessions or a gym membership doesn't always work.
So how do you avoid the common mistake of buying fitness and health? Here are five easy ways to get the point across and make it stick.
I agree with your tips especially mention it and let it go. People notice when you're living healthy and/or losing weight and they start to ask questions about what you're doing. I also agree with don't do it on Mother's day or other special days. Little indulgences on special occasions are what keep you on a healthy lifestyle overall.

Step 1: Materials
Materials needed:
1. Shoes or boots to be shined/polished
2. Two clean rags or cloths. (The second for the creme.)
3. Boot brush
4. Polish brush
5. Shoe polish in a color that corresponds with the shoes that you are polishing; either the kind that comes in a little block in a tin or the kind that is creme. The kind in a tube is pretty self-explanatory.
Step 2: Creme Shoe Polish
1. Take one of the rags and relieve the shoe of all excess dirt and dust.
2. Take the other rag apply the shoe polish to the shoe rubbing in small circles.
3. Let the boot sit while you do the other boot. Try to let the second boot sit a little longer after you have buffed the first boot as buffing doesn't take quite as long as shining.
4. Set the second boot aside. Use the boot brush to buff the first boot. Remember to use long strokes that go beyond the edge of the boot.
Step 3: Block Shoe Polish
1. Again, relieve the shoe of dust and dirt.
2. This time, use the polish brush. Rub the bristles gently into the polish and apply to the boot in small circles.
3. Set the first boot aside and let it sit as you polish the second boot.
4. Use the boot brush to buff the first boot. Remember to use long strokes that go beyond the edge of the boot.

(Corrects number of Democrats who voted for the measure.)
There's always one.
In this case, the one is Rep. Timothy Johnson, the only Republican to vote against a bill in the House extending Bush-era tax cuts for everyone by one year. He's also retiring after six terms.
The Illinois representative has already broken ranks with many in his party when, in March, he said he was no longer bound to follow a pledge to the Americans for Tax Reform group not to raise taxes, according to the publication Roll Call.
"I would never in a million years have considered this as some kind of a locked-in-granite pledge. Frankly, I didn't even remember it. That shows you how obscure it was to me," Johnson said to Roll Call.
On the other side of the aisle, 19 Democrats voted to extend the cuts for all taxpayers.

EV - performance stats, how long between an email arriving in journal mailbox to being discoverable in EV?
I'm trying to get some stats around how long it takes between an email arriving in journal mailbox to being discoverable in EV.
I can pull archiving rates via SQL, and indexing rates via Log Parser.
But I can't think of a good way to automate an large end to end test, besides manually emailing the journal mailbox, then searching in EV to see if the message has been indexed and therefore is discoverable. I am not sure if this is even possible given that EV does not know if there is a big backlog of messages it needs to process in the journal mailbox.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

EV does have counters for items in the journal mailbox
If you do a Perfmon you will see counters for total items in the mailbox, total pending, total failed etc
Items that are awaiting to be indexed will be placed in the JournalArchive table in the VaultStore database with IndexCommited = 0
So you can do a COUNT(*) FROM JournalArchive WHERE IndexCommited = 0
This will show you the amount of items that are awaiting to be indexed
Juding how long it takes to index an item you can judge via a DTrace of Indexes.
So in your case you would DTrace IndexServer and then you get some deltas.
Typically it takes about half a second to archive an item.
When you email something that gets journaled by Exchange 2007 or 2010, the item will come in to the mailbox, EV will then change it to a part pending item and keep it for 5 minutes to make sure no new journal reports come in, then after 5 minutes its sent to storage.....then after its archived the item gets removed from the journal mailbox
So big items can take up to 3s to process (Depending on size and complexity of the message)
Most take about half a second.
So you could send a message with a unique ID to yourself, it then hits the journal mailbox
You should then be able to search for that message in maybe 5 minutes 5 seconds
But again, it all depends on current backlog in journaling, indexing, speed of network, load of EV Server etc etc

Plant-Based Diets Show More Weight Loss Without Emphasizing Caloric Restriction
Most weight-loss interventions focus on reducing calories, but a new study shows that vegan and vegetarian dietary patterns can result in more weight loss than those that include meat without emphasizing caloric restriction. The study, "How Plant-Based Do We Need to Be to Achieve Weight Loss? Results of the New Dietary Interventions to Enhance the Treatments for Weight Loss (New DIETs) Study," also emphasizes the importance of incorporating low-fat and low-glycemic index foods. Results of the award-winning study are being presented today at a special session of The Obesity Society (TOS) Annual Meeting at ObesityWeek 2013 for the five finalists of the TOS Ethan Sims Young Investigator Award.
"Many researchers agree that vegan eating styles are tied to lower BMI, lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes, and less weight gain with age," said lead researcher Brie Turner-McGrievy, PhD, of the University of South Carolina. "This is the first randomized study that directly compares how vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous dietary patterns that do not emphasize caloric restriction can impact body weight. We found that participants consuming vegan and vegetarian diets lost an average of 8.2 to 9.9 pounds over eight weeks while those consuming some meat lost 5.1 pounds."
The eight-week pilot study compared adoption of five different dietary approaches: vegan, vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, or omnivorous, on weight loss in 63 adults affected by obesity or overweight. All dietary patterns emphasized eating low-fat and low-glycemic index foods. Mean (SD) percent weight loss was significantly different among the five groups (vegan: ‑4.8±2.1%, vegetarian: ‑4.8±3.2%, pesco-vegetarian: ‑4.3±1.8%, semi-vegetarian: ‑3.7±2.3%, omnivorous: ‑2.2±2.0%, intention-to-treat analysis; p<0.05).
The reason for greater weight loss in the vegan and vegetarian groups remains to be studied, but may be due to changes in macronutrient content as macronutrients (percent kcal) were found to be significantly different across groups. In addition, participants in this study most likely ate fewer calories as a result of the dietary changes they made to consume more vegan or vegetarian meals.
Dr. Turner-McGrievy continued, "Diets that focus primarily on calorie restriction are a cornerstone of weight loss programs; however, they usually involve dietary self-monitoring, which many individuals find burdensome and can limit adherence."
Because weight loss achieved by patients following plant-based diets in this study occurred without emphasizing caloric restriction, some individuals may find these types of dietary patterns easier to follow over the long term, according to the researchers.
"This pilot study could have implications for those struggling to cut back on calories to lose weight," said Adam Tsai, MD, TOS Public Affairs Committee chair and assistant professor at the University of Colorado. "These results show that weight loss can be achieved by following vegan and vegetarian dietary patterns that do not focus primarily on calorie restriction."
Limitations of this study include the small sample size and timeframe of evaluation. Results of the six-month follow-up assessments of participants to determine long-term adherence will also be presented today.

Exchange admins can count on something new when they get back to work after the holidays. There's a new email client in town, and it comes with all those new laptops and tablets that executives, geeks, and the very good girls and boys all got for Christmas. Windows 8 and Windows RT both come with a latest generation of Microsoft's slimmed down email client (we miss you Outlook Express!!!) called, simply enough, Mail. Whether your users have new Windows RT tablets like Microsoft's own Surface, or new Win8 laptops, they are going to want to hook Mail up to the corporate email system, and that means the support desk is going to escalate the first few calls straight to you. Better yet, you might get a drop off from one of those fine folks on mahogany row, and we both know telling them "no" isn't the best response you can make.
So, knowing about Mail, how it works and what it takes to set it up, and having an article you can throw back at the support desk so they can tend to it themselves will all be helpful. And since mahogany row folks won't take kindly to being punted down to the support desk, this might save you a little frustration too.
What Mail is
Mail is the latest iteration of a basic email client to come with a version of a Microsoft desktop operating system. As mentioned above, it comes with both Windows 8 and Windows RT, and is one of the new Windows 8 UI styled apps (or the interface formerly known as Metro!) As such, it focus seems to be on minimal menu bars and buttons, a touch-first interface, and basic functionality.
What Mail isn't
While we can look at things like Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, etc. as being within the lineage of Mail, Mail has no obvious binaries in common with its predecessors, and no common interface or configuration steps. This is a brand new email application. It's also not Outlook, so frankly, I expect that anyone running Windows 8 will use Outlook for the corporate email, and might consider using Mail for their personal email. Windows RT users don't have any other options at this time other than webmail, so it's the RT based tablets that will be the largest user population.
EAS, IMAP, and POP3-well two out of three ain't bad
Mail is first and foremost an Exchange ActiveSync client, which is very good news for most of you. You will probably not have to do anything on the backend in order for users to start using Mail on all their new BYOD hardware. And if users already connect their personally owned mobile phones to your Exchange system, what comes next shouldn't be a surprise to them, but since tablets may contain a lot more data, it won't hurt to remind users that EAS policies will enforce screensaver timeouts and password requirements, too many bad password attempts might wipe the device, and that the company may choose to wipe the device should their employment relationship come to an abrupt end.
Mail also supports IMAP, so you can use it to connect to any corporate or personal email service that offers IMAP, such as Google's Gmail, Microsoft's Outlook, or other IMAP services from your ISP.
However, there is no POP3 support in Mail, so users whose legacy systems that only offer POP3 support will have to rely upon webmail. RT users will have to wait for a third party POP3 client to come out, while Windows 8 users can of course use Eudora, Thunderbird, or other POP3 client.
How to set up Mail on Windows 8 and Windows RT
There's a great article already online at Microsoft's website on how to set up the Mail app. The instructions are the same whether you are using Windows 8 or Windows RT, and I won't try to rewrite the steps in this article. Here's the link you want to review yourself, and also to send to first level support. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/web-apps-help/set-up-email-in-windows-8-mail-HA102834576.aspx
Troubleshooting Mail
There's also a very handy article that goes over both setting up Mail (though not in as much detail as the previous link above) and troubleshooting when things don't work. You can view that article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2784275
It's not all sunshine and puppy dogs though
Mail is a pretty nifty app for basic email functionality, but it is missing some key features that may surprise you. Check out the article at our sister publication AllSpammedUp.com for more on the things you want to be aware of when using Mail. It's at http://www.allspammedup.com/2012/12/scammers-are-going-to-love-windows-8-mail/
Hopefully you are keeping up on your reading, and will see this before you see your first new device from a user. Send those first two links over to your Support Desk as soon as you do, so that they can start reading up too.

How to suffer foolsJanuary 05,2013Recently I was reading a magazine profile of a brilliant statistician. The article mentioned, in passing, that this guy doesnt suffer fools gladly.
I come across that phrase a lot. Ive read that Al Gore and former Rep. Barney Frank dont suffer fools gladly. Neither, apparently, did Steve Jobs, George Harrison, Pauline Kael or even Henry David Thoreau.
The phrase originally came from William Tyndales 1534 translation of the Bible. In it, Paul was ripping into the decadent citizens of Corinth for turning away from his own authoritative teaching and falling for a bunch of second-rate false apostles. For ye suffers fool gladly, Paul says with withering sarcasm, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
Today, the phrase is often used as an ambiguous compliment. It suggests that a person is so smart he has trouble tolerating people who are far below his own high standards. It is used to describe a person who is so passionately committed to a vital cause that he doesnt have time for social niceties toward those idiots who stand in its way. It is used to suggest a level of social courage; a person who has the guts to tell idiots what he really thinks.
Sure, it would be better if such people were nicer to those around them, the phrase implies, but this is a forgivable sin in one so talented. The actor Ed Harris penetrating gaze signals that this is a serious, somber man on a singular quest, a writer observed in The Toronto Sun. He doesnt suffer fools gladly, if at all.
This sounds fine in the abstract, but when you actually witness somebody in the act of not suffering fools gladly, it looks rotten. Once I watched a senior member of the House of Representatives rip into a young reporter after she nervously asked him an ill-informed question.
She was foolish about that particular piece of legislation, but, in the moment, he looked the bigger fool. He was making a snap judgment about a person with no real information about her actual qualities. He was exposing a yawning gap between his own high opinion of himself and his actual conduct in the world. He was making the mistake, which metaphysical fools tend to make, that there is no connection between your inner moral quality and the level of courtesy you present to others.
Smart people whove thought about this usually understand that the habits we put in practice end up shaping the people we are within. Manners are of more importance than laws, Edmund Burke wrote. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in.
In his extremely French book, A Small Treatise on the Great Virtues, the contemporary philosopher Andre Comte-Sponville argues that politeness is the first virtue, and the origin perhaps of all the others. Politeness is a discipline that compels respectful behavior. Morality, he writes is like a politeness of the soul, an etiquette of the inner life, a code of duties, a ceremonial of the essential. (I told you it was very French.)
Jane Austen is the novelist most famous for advocating this point of view. In her novel Emma, the lead character is rude to a foolish and verbose old woman named Miss Bates. Emmas friend George Knightley rebukes her.
If Miss Bates were rich or smart or your equal, maybe this rudeness would have been tolerable, Mr. Knightley tells her, but she is poor; she has sunk from the comforts she was born to; and, if she live to old age, must probably sink more. Her situation should secure your compassion. It was badly done, indeed!
I dont give myself high marks on suffering fools. Im not rude to those I consider foolish, but I strenuously and lamentably evade them. But I do see people who handle fools well. Many members of the clergy do, as do many great teachers. In my experience, Midwesterners are more likely to treat fools well. Natural politicians do so, too. Joe Biden is effective because he loves humanity in all its shapes and sizes.
G.K. Chesterton had the best advice on suffering fools gladly. He put emphasis on the gladly. When youre with fools, laugh with them and at them simultaneously: An obvious instance is that of ordinary and happy marriage. A man and a woman cannot live together without having against each other a kind of everlasting joke. Each has discovered that the other is a fool, but a great fool. This largeness, this grossness and gorgeousness of folly is the thing which we all find about those with whom we are in intimate contact; and it is the one enduring basis of affection, and even of respect.
