Despite its many health benefits, I wasn't a fan of kale.
Impossible to cook or chew into submission and cheerfully green no matter what you do to it — I had pretty much decided kale was permanently off my menu. But then I heard about kale chips. People kept telling me how much their kids loved them so, not to be outdone by a pack of preschoolers, I decided it was time to belly up to the kitchen counter and try my hand at kale chips.
My husband has always been a healthy eater so, in our kitchen, buried in a cupboard somewhere, was a food dehydrator. This is a bonus. If you have a dehydrator, by all means use it. (if not, your kale chips will still be delicious if they're done in a very low oven.)
A dehydrator will dry the kale without your having to pay any attention to it and even better than that, dehydrated kale chips are considered raw food — a whole other subset of healthy eating. You can get really smug about your kale chips if they're dehydrated. When I started out, I figured that would be about all I got out of the exercise. Boy, was I in for a shock.
If you like the seaweed on the outside of sushi, you'll like kale chips, in fact, sushi's harder to develop the taste for than kale chips. They melt in your mouth and they taste, mostly, of whatever it is you put on them before you dry them out.
The preschoolers are right, kale chips are yummy. They're healthy, low-cal, low fat and high in every nutrient you can think of. They taste great, they're full of fiber, they have a satisfying crunch and if you like cheese puffs, there's a kale chip you'll love. Just think, the next time you want to sit down with nothing but a bowl of chips for dinner, you could actually be doing your body a favor. What could be better?
Here are two ways to make kale chips. When you've done it once, you'll quickly think up your own.
"Cheesy" Vegan Kale Chips
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste) — available in the natural foods section of your grocery store or at your local food co-op.
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast — available at health food stores or the food co-op.
3 tablespoons soy sauce — I use kikoman or organic shoyu. It's important to use a light soy that is authentically made, the stuff made by American companies is too thick and syrupy, it won't work.
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Put all of these ingredients in the bottom of a big bowl. Then wash a bunch of kale and strip the leafy part off the stalks. Tear these into chip-sized pieces. Dump them into the bowl with your mixture in the bottom. Wearing rubber gloves, massage the dressing into the kale. Kale is sturdy. Really work the stuff in. Pretend you're kneading bread and massage the leaves until you've reduced the size of your kale pile by about half.
Arrange the dressed leaves on a parchment covered cookie sheet and bake in a very low oven (200 degrees maximum) for 3 hours or until your chips are crispy.
If you're using a dehydrator, arrange these on the dehydrator trays and set the dial to "vegetable" leave it overnight or all day while you're at work.
Plain Kale Chips
2/3 cup olive oil
1/8 - 1/4 cup salt (to taste)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Large bunch of kale
Follow the instructions above but substitute this mixture for the "cheesy" dressing.
See? Easy. Eat your vegetables. Make your Mom happy.

Men's Soccer Hosts Fourth Annual Kicking with the Jays
OMAHA, Neb. – The Creighton men's soccer team hosted its fourth annual "Kicking with the Jays" free soccer clinic for underprivileged youth at Morrison Stadium on Saturday morning.
The event was held in conjunction with "Audrey's Shoes for Kids," an organization founded in memory of former CU coach Bob Warming's late daughter, Audrey Warming. The body provides soccer gear, including shoes, shirts, shin guards and socks to attendees from the greater Omaha area. The shoes, gear and soccer balls distributed are funded by private donations, including contributions from major shoe companies.
Creighton and UnitedHealthcare co-sponsor the event. The CU coaching staff, student-athletes and UHC Community Outreach team handed out several dozen pairs of shoes to kids aged from seven to 15.
Warming boasts the most victories in Jays' soccer history. A member of the Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame, he led Creighton from 1990-94 and again from 2001-09, posting a combined record of 190-61-34 (.726) during his 14 years with the Jays.
"We are continuing the legacy that Bob and Audrey Warming began in Omaha," said current Creighton head men's soccer coach Elmar Bolowich. "We are very grateful that so many have donated to this program. I believe this to be an unprecedented event for college soccer and a local community."
"Kicking with the Jays" aims to utilize soccer to reach the lives of children with the message that you can have fun, play and live an active and healthy lifestyle no matter your age or economic status.

Detailed Description:
Sexual transmission is responsible for the vast majority of HIV-1 infections among adults worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, the region hardest hit by the HIV-1 epidemic, HSV-2 prevalences of 30-50% have been seen in the general population with prevalence up to 90% in infected with HIV-1. HSV-2 is common in those with, or at risk for, HIV-1 infection, and HSV-2 reactivation increases HIV-1 acquisition and infectiousness. Recent studies have shown that suppression of HSV-2 has a sustained effect on lowering HIV-1 levels in blood plasma. New data have raised the question whether higher doses of HSV-2 suppressive therapy might be more effective at suppressing HIV-1 levels. Acyclovir and valacyclovir, chosen for use in this study, are safe and effective treatments for decreasing the frequency of HSV-2 reactivation and shedding. The standard dose of acyclovir is 400 mg twice a day. Valacyclovir, a drug that converts to acyclovir after absorption, delivers higher concentrations of acyclovir. 1.5 grams of valacyclovir, will be used to provide a higher dose of acyclovir, and will be compared with the standard dose of 400 mg twice a day of acyclovir.

I understand the intent of SmartWare to assist the average user in backing up critical files on their computer. However, for the experienced/professional user they should be able to delete the Smartware from the drive and recover the lost diskspace and disable the VCD in the firmware. We resell thes drives and expected to have the advertised storage space on the drives. The expectation was to connect the drive to any computer which would recognise it as a standard storage device. We have already had several clients return the drives and this is creating an issue.
I would like to be able to access files from my Android mobile device. My Android browser does not use Java's .class files; rather, it recognizes .dex files. Any development in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
It's been over a year since this was posted and WD is going to implement it! Thanks everyone for all your comments and suggestions! I hope we get what we want in the next release!
Original Post:
Others may have started a post about this but I haven't seen anything get pushed up so thought I'd start my own and see if my title got people's attention better.
I am a developer and have many .bat, .exe, .log, and tons of other files that are not backed up because SmartWare will not do it as explained in ANSWER ID3644. Any person that uses their computer for more than personal media and office documents will have this problem. I'd greatly appreciate it if no extensions where excluded at all. Only backing up the types of files that WD thinks I should back up makes me have to use another product to do my backups. As a user I want to know that SmartWare is backing up everything in a directory that I tell it to. System data and hidden files I understand but what about all those other files types that WD didn't account for that it excludes!? I don't want to have to look through my backup to make sure it backed up the files I wanted
There are many ways to fix this:
1. Whenever anyone selects Other in Detailed View for backups have Other actually include everything else regardless of file type.
2. Provide a checkbox that says something like "Exclude Unsafe File Types". If this is unchecked then all those binary files we programmers made for ourselves or work can get backed up
3. Provide a new screen that allows a user to customize their own constraints.
Please, please give some kudos to this! It's the only thing keeping me from relying on SmartWare for my backups. You just can't trust backup software that backs up the file types it thinks you need. Come on developers click KUDOS!
I did a full backup of my C; drive and "SmartWare" missed ALL of my itunes music files. These files are nowhere to be located - not under music/other/movies/etc. These files were in the itunes default folder - Documents and Settings/All Users/Shared Documents/My Music/iTunes. How stupid can WD be for this programming error??????
Also the "Smartware" software does not backup ANY .exe files, even if it is not a system file and is in the My Documents folder as far as I can see. Thus the WD drives are not a viable backup option using "Smartware". Many of us have .exe files from software we downloaded and need to save. This needs to be corrected by WD.
I have a few suggestions for improvement for the WD 2go app for the BlackBerry OS.
1) the ability to view photos in landscape.
2) the ability to see a list of photos with thumbnail (much like the iPhone app)
3) the ability to see album covers when viewing and playing music.
4) auto upload of photos taken with the phone to the WD 2go app
There is a WiFi sync option, however, I am unable to verify what is being synced.
5) upgrade of the app to 2.0
6) WD Photos app for the BlackBerry OS.
7) Both apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook
Hope the list is clear and not too long.
I think there needs to be a thorough review of the encryption software. There are numerous posts where people have not set a password but are suddenly prompted for one. It doesn't seem to be a rare problem either. Since there is no way to reset many people have lost valuable data and are very upset. Some of these have occurred after firmware updates. That area also need to be tested much better before releasing to public. You should be really embarassed that a firmware update for Mac was released that needs to be run on a Windows PC to work.
I bought a 3TB My Book to use solely for backing up my NAS. I was disappointed to learn that the SmartWare application does not support a network drive as a backup source. Nowhere in the description of the item does it mention lack of network drive support as a source.
Please highly consider adding this feature to future versions of SmartWare. I should not be forced to write a script to perform a simple job that your application can easily be updated to perform.
Lets say there's a case:
- i copied a wrong file from a USB drive into my Laptop.. then i delete it
- i downloaded a wrong file into my download folder.. then i also delete it
amazingly WD SmartWare Backup has finished copying a backup file for those file in my WD My Book Studio (running in background)
but, what if i dont want those wrong file(s) to be backed up? or maybe in other users cases it will create unwanted duplicate files inside My Book Studio.. then it will save more space on our backup drive
So, i think it would be great if SmartWare Backup creates / show a delete confirmation when we delete a certain file(s).
"There is a backup file created with this entry. Would you like to delete it also?"
"Would you like to delete On your computer or include backup file?" "Choose: On My Computer or Both"
This feature requires advance user settings, just to prevent user to accidentally delete both.. well, as long as we do not Empty Trash or Empty Recycle Bin
Hope this would be usefull for WD user experience
Smartware is designed to be a continuous backup program, but you have the option to explore the backup folder (Smartware.swstor) and delete any file.
Smartware Improvements:
1. If my hard drive crash, I will have to replace it, reinstall, and restore the backup, since smartware will think it is a new computer it will not recognize the backup and so I cant restore it using the Smartware interface, can you please add an option to load a previous backup? To recognize an existing backup even if it is from another computer?
2. An option to clean all the file versions, if the above scenario happends, I can just map the smartware partition and get all the mess that is there, all the files plus the thousands files version and them spend some hours to make a cleanup of the file versions, I would like to have an option to delete all the previous file versions.
3. Ability to delay the CDP, it seems that Smartware continous data protection detects a new file and immediatly sends it to the backup, I would like to have an option to set to only backup after a few minutes/hours so I can have time to organize my files
Thank you
I am not sure if you have this but I can't find it as of yet.; but create a login so that we can enter what devices we have logitech does it. and then we can get updateds and info from your site when we want. I am trying to get wdlink form my mac not sure if you have that either. actually your downloads page is pretty tough to navigate might as well fix all this. WD is not the only one all maufacturers have this problem that is why so many people love mac computers and periferals. they are seamless. that is their forcus. SEEMLESS. and anyone who hates them is absolutly without a doubt, flat out TOO BROKE TOO BUY APPLE PRODUCTS! SO PLEASE SHUT IT UP! I know ill hear from them go buy an apple tv and you'll feel better about yourself you can get those mowing lawns.
anyways my 2
Smartware under Windows 7 in Catagory Mode currently only backs up the files of the USER that started
smartware . On computers where their are multiple accounts it would be very useful to have the option
of including some or all users of the computer - I want something simple and can't be bothered using
File mode and working out which files to back up.
(Maybe someone is going to tell me that Smartware should already be backing up all users and that its apermissions problem on my computers,, i've looked but not spotted an issue , and in file mode I can selectothers users files and back them up !)
Let us know how to make our products meet your needs.

Please note: This title is in Spanish.
©2008 por Junor Diaz; (P)2008 Recorded Books,LLC
"An instant dominican classic!"
The modern dominican idiosyncrasy beautifully entangled between historical facts and human intimacies. It is hard not to think you are reading a real story due to the authenticity of the characters. The narrators definitely added to the richness of the experience.
"Great characters, great pace, great story!"
The book is character-driven in a credible way. The light touch of magical realism works well. I liked getting a flavor of Dominical life and political strife.
The performances are excellent, they embody the story without overpowering it.
It's got pathos and bite- made me smile and wince.
I'll definitely read more Diaz.

HI all,
I have been offered an opportunity to study for the above post-graduate qualification, while continuing my career development in Power Engineering.
In the long term, I am aiming for CEng status and so post-grad study to Masters level is a must, although I cannot afford to do it F/T. This seems, on paper at least, like a very good path to take and is flexible to my work demands.
Does anyone have any input on whether it would be a good career move? Do any of you have any (or know of anyone who has) experience of taking a similar route?
All opinions are welcomed.
Thank you!

I have no direct experience of this course and I am not making a formal comment on behalf of the IET, but your request stimulated my interest, so I looked it up on the web. At one time I (representing an employer) had a close working relationship with the JMU School of the Built Environment and with a third partner Liverpool Community College, instigated what has become a suite of degree programmes.
I note that the university has many accredited programmes in which similar content has been independently validated by the IET. I also noted that this programme is delivered in partnership with EA Technology, an organisation with a long track record as an industry centre of research and consultancy excellence. So "on paper" this looks like a very good programme addressing an important need, which I would want to support.
To be fair there are also other universities with strong offerings this sector (such as Aston for example). Hopefully someone will be able to give you feedback from actual experience of participation, so you can make a well-informed investment choice.
The extent to which the programme will equip you for CEng registration will depend on a number of factors. The most important being how your professional achievements illustrate the competences in UK-SPEC. If you are an experienced professional, perhaps demonstrating IEng competence at present, then this looks an good way to extend your knowledge to underpin the different CEng A&B competences. I wouldn't want to speculate further (especially in public) on your situation, but if your employer is willing to support you, then your long-term goal is certainly achievable.

Thank you very much for the reply, it was very helpful.
Are you saying, then, that you can vouch for EA Technology and their track record? I ask, of course, because there are many companies out there who "cold call" employers with offers which appear too good to be true (and more often than not, are).
I am seriously considering this course, but to answer your latter query, I am on the first rung of the post-graduation career ladder (1st year of solid Engineering experience) and am also upgrading my BSc to an MEng on a P/T basis through the Open Uni, but have found their offering of Engineering courses very limiting (by their very own admission and in direct correspondence, they admit they are very poor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering) and so am seriously considering transferring.
With this in mind, any advice is valued and I thank you for that. I am aware that reaching the higher echelons of our profession is a long, hard road and never a straightforward one. I will endeavour to stay on course, however. Of course, if you wish to add anything, please do so.

EA Technology emerged from the Electricity Council Research Centre which was a the national centre of excellence in its field from the 60s-1990. I couldn't comment on its current capability from personal contact, although I attended an interesting local network presentation by a member of EA Technology staff about "partial discharge" a couple of years ago. I am also aware of the quality of their employees who have sought professional registration in recent times.
I'm slightly disappointed that there are some potential issues with the OU programme. I wouldn't of expect them to be able to replicate the type of industry focussed JMU programme that you are considering. The OUs model is different, but many engineers have progressed with the help of OU qualifications, most of which are recognised by the IET, with a particular pathway being formally accredited.
As no one else has posted I suggest you make enquiries by other means. I would be worried if someone did post critical comment in the forum which might be unjustified.

I did a MSc in Process Manufacturing Management (technical & job related) + MBA the interview panel looked at both as CPD not futher learning so no advantage at all.

Tim's experience illustrates the point that I alluded to in my first answer. I can't comment on his personal situation but he has every right to take pride in his excellent qualifications (including the DEM, well-respected at the time). If he was invited to a Professional Review Interview (PRI) then his qualifications (together with any other evidence) were accepted as sufficient evidence of underpinning knowledge and understanding. Some other institutions use the phrase "met the academic requirement" to describe this type of situation. It is not the role of PRI Interviewers to categorise qualifications and some element of misunderstanding has developed in this respect.
The initial stages of the IET assessment process for IEng & CEng are designed to ensure that PRI is only conducted when there is good evidence of achievement and knowledge. However the whole process, with several stages of expert review including the PRI, may identify shortfalls in one or more of the UK-SPEC competence requirements.
Historically the emphasis has been placed on academic qualifications, to the extent that it became a widely held belief that these were the only factor. The simplistic formula: right level of qualification + experience = registration, is misleading. Whatever your qualifications and experience, registration can only be achieved by demonstrating full personal responsibility over a reasonable period, aligned with the UK-SPEC competences for each type of registration.
Particularly over the last few years there are increasing numbers of Technician and IEng registrants with degrees (including higher degrees). Anyone seeking professional registration in whichever section of the register, needs to understand the concept of competence (i.e. proven practice). The IET provides support and guidance to members, both prior to making an application and during the process. However it should be understood that we are trying to allocate an huge variety of practice and qualifications into 3 categories. This is not an easy task, especially around the boundaries between these categories.
If you are setting out in the profession and looking at a full-time university course then choose an IET accredited one if you can. If you are still looking for full-time study after a first degree then choose something focussed on what you really want to pursue as a career direction, but speak to potential employers first. If you are employed and looking for part-time study options there are a great variety of good academic programmes targeted at different markets. Many employers also offer career development that can stretch knowledge as well as professional practice.

Thank you very much once again for your detailed replies, they have been very helpful.
To clarify a little, I did a 3yr BSc in Applied Physics in Glasgow (Strathclyde Uni) a few years back, but in recent years have been studying P/T with the OU for the MEng. The experience in my 1st degree allowed me a credit transfer equivalent to the first 18mths of the 4-year (8 years P/T) MEng programme and thus I am currently undertaking the BEng (Hons) part, due to finish in August.
Alongside this, I have a good job in Project Engineering and am being primed for a senior management role. So, on the surface, things are going well for me.
However, the problem arises where (and I'm sure many have been in similar situations) I face hitting a "glass ceiling" career-wise if I don't do what is necessary to compile a sufficient portfolio to put me in a position for my long-term goal of achieving CEng. Sadly, the OU is, by the admission of senior academics I have liaised with, "not strong in Electrical Engineering and we have never been competitive in Power Engineering".
With that in mind, I have had to consider pulling out with a BEng (Hons) in the Autumn and doing a Masters (MEng or the MSc) elsewhere.
Tough choice, but you have been helpful thus far. Thanks for that.
08 January 2013 11:28 AM
Just to clarify, Mr. Bowdler, what is the IET's stance on institutions like the OU? When I first signed up with them, I was under the impression that employers valued their qualifications, at least insofar as their students were highly thought of due to the commitment, organisation, dedication and time-management that goes in to completing an OU degree alongside F/T work.
Sadly, I found the reality to be somewhat different and your IEng/Technician comments touch upon an issue here... i.e. that degrees are being diluted and are becoming little more than what the HNC was a few decades ago.
I have to therefore question the value of doing the MEng or MSc...
09 January 2013 02:15 PM
Sorry if the answer is little long but I think it provides an opportunity to address some common issues which others may find of interest. I am not commenting directly on your personal circumstances.
Many IET members have progressed their careers and gained professional registration via OU qualifications. Historically the degrees weren't formally accredited because they didn't fit the prescriptive model of accreditation (a QA process). This was corrected a couple of years ago, but the accredited pathway within the OU is prescribed.
There are hundreds if not thousands of degree programmes offered by universities in the UK and overseas which could contribute to professional development or provide underpinning knowledge evidence acceptable for professional registration. A proportion benefit from formal professional institution accreditation and may therefore be deemed "exemplifying" under UK-SPEC. This status illustrates a "safe choice" and offers an advantage in any professional registration application.
The IET does not "require" members to follow a prescribed pathway to professional registration and various combinations of formal qualifications and experience are accepted on an individual basis. If someone is seeking Chartered Engineer then there is an expectation of "Masters level" knowledge. An appropriate MSc with strong technical content or a good BEng (preferably accredited) plus evidence of further learning at masters level (not necessarily a MSc) both offer good evidence of this knowledge.
Choosing a university programme to invest in is like many other decisions, a matter of opinion. If I use the analogy of a Car, nearly all models offer similar utilitarian advantages (i.e. A to B in a similar time), many offer quite similar features which can be evaluated. Some offer more specific benefits, such as four-wheel drive (good if you live up a muddy lane) a prestige image (handy if you frequent wine bars in Alderley Edge), or even both (good for school runs in Chelsea)
I hope that any advice I have given is not mistaken as negative comment about the OU (I hold an OU degree myself) although you are entitled to comment based on your own experience. The general argument about academic "grade inflation" is a rather different one, It isn't an argument that I would want to pursue because we should be focussed on the present and future, not the past. Purely to provide perspective (particularly in the context of IEng) I might observe that the system of apprenticeships and part-time study (typically to HNC - but it could be a degree) has produced good engineers for a very long time. I await any evidence to support the proposition that studying full-time (nominally to a higher level) followed by actual experience produces superior results for most "mainstream" engineers. I think there might be a case at the more analytical, innovative and conceptual end of CEng work (e.g. R&D or strategic management). For this reason I would like to see far more high level technical apprenticeships, aimed at what I see as the "mainstream" IEng standard.
To return to the main point, I would nearly always encourage a practising professional to pursue a masters programme, if the opportunity presents itself. The following caveats apply, be enthused by the content and don't sacrifice opportunities to build your career achievements, as these are usually more important.
In my personal opinion the "best time" to invest in a masters is when you have gained enough experience to develop your own "expert" perspective and would like to challenge your thinking against other perspectives or by original research. The programme you mentioned initially looked promising with these objectives in mind. If the objective is primarily to gain CEng registration then also look at Engineering Council "Gateways" programmes.
The "Glass Ceiling" analogy is a good one, as the phrase developed to describe unfair discrimination and unjustified prejudice. Some organisations make CEng a requirement (or more usually "an advantage") for particular posts. Where this is being properly used in a well-calibrated way, as an independent benchmark of competence, this is an excellent idea. Although in a recruitment advertising situation the requirement might be intended to limit the numbers of applications to manageable proportions.
The possibility exists of "chicken and egg situations" where the opportunity to demonstrate CEng competence is only available by being in the CEng designated post, but it seems unlikely that an employer would block "the best person for the job". Problems can also arise from poor calibration such as a post being designated "CEng only" when IEng would be equally (or sometimes more) suitable. A further example of poor practice would be to impose a requirement (such as a certain degree) which isn't directly relevant to current competence. This sort of thing was normal in the past and I still see a few examples, but the IET assessment process is now competence based and recent anti-discrimination legislation applies. For example there is hardly anyone over a certain age with an MEng, or anyone under a certain age with 10 years' work experience, so unless you can demonstrate why such factors are directly relevant to current capability in the job, then potentially unfair age discrimination may occur.

Thanks once again for the helpful replies. I have considered all that you have said very carefully and have a few constructive comments that I would like to add:
Firstly, I believe that it is wrong to downplay the impact that the changes to higher education have had. It is undeniable that while the COST of a University education has risen exponentially, the VALUE of one has decreased by the same order of magnitude. When I hear the various Engineering institutions across the UK decrying the lack of next-gen engineers to reach replacement levels, while there are many Engineering Graduates either under-employed, or worse, on the dole, alarm bells start ringing.
What seems to be the problem (and I can only speak for myself and those in industry whom I associate with) is that there are too many people with "degrees" from (often dubious) "Universities" and too few with skilled apprenticeships. While you rightly call for an increase in the latter, consider the lost generation we have... the Graduates who are a product of said system who have left higher education and are (a) considered either "over-qualified" or "under-experienced, (b) are turned down for re-training/apprenticeships because they are too old, (c) face increasing hostility in an ever-changing global market which has seen the UK rely less and less on heavy industry and more on the finance sector, or (d) a combination of the above.
Whether we like it or not, the UK's skills shortage is not going to get better anytime soon and may indeed even worsen. I think programmes like the one I mentioned at the start from LJMU are a step in the right direction, but will employers take the initiative and invest in young people?
I'm not very optimistic at the moment...

We get it. Smartphones are kind of like cars when it comes to color. Most people aren't going to rush out and get a hot pink or chartreuse model when they can stick with a basic hue like black or silver. And accordingly, smartphone makers tend to play it safe with new devices, usually releasing them in a pretty sober spectrum.
But, just like cars, sometimes we want our cellphones to be a little more distinct and it seems Samsung gets that. The company launched a new line of nature-inspired colors for their Galaxy S III phone back in August, and SamMobile reported today that they'll be doing the same with their latest "phablet," the Galaxy Note II. At the moment the device is only available in Titanium Grey and Marble White.
So far, the Galaxy Note II's new color variants are just a rumor. SamMobile cites an "insider" who says the new device will start rolling out in new hues like Amber Brown, Topaz Blue and Ruby Wine as early as this December or the beginning of 2013.
And while we've already seen the color Samsung calls Amber Brown in their newest Galaxy S III models, the other rumored color names don't match up to anything we've seen from Samsung yet.
In any case, if you've been thinking about getting a Galaxy Note II but haven't done so yet, it might be worthwhile to wait until after the holidays, unless of course you're into basic black and minimalist white.

ORLEANS-Less than ideal conditions greeted the North Country and Lake Region tennis teams on Friday afternoon.
While the temperature was a very comfortable 70 degrees, the wind made play almost comical as shots, serves, volleys and rallies alike went from routine to unpredictable as the gusts wreaked havoc with the little green ball.
In the end, the Falcons would win the match 3-2 to improve to 1-1 while Lake Region falls to 0-1.
"It is very difficult for kids to play in conditions like this," said Lake Region coach Laura Laramee
"The ball never bounces where you are planning it to."
When asked if maybe the match should be rescheduled, North Country coach Jody Driscoll said no, it is not raining raining so you should play, plus both sides were facing the same conditions, so neither team had a distinct advantage.

As a blogger, I get interesting email. Every month, I receive a couple of invitations from semi-illegitimate groups seeking to enroll me (Who's who in the internet world, for example.) Advertisers also offer small amounts of money to place ads. I've resisted these in the past, mostly because I don't blog for the money – it is a hobby. And I feel more independent if the fruit of my labor comes from non-monetary enjoyment, writing and then the interaction with you all. I am not adverse to advertisements, I just don't see a point of it currently. (I reserve the right to immediately reverse course and make four to six figures a year on blogging loot!)
I also get random emails from folks who have misidentified me. Often, they think I am the person in the story I am writing about. I will not reveal this person's name, but I've gotten several of these kind of comments or emails, this one sent in response to the lesbian Sailors here or the gay Marines here:
I found your blog titled "The Mellow Jihadi" and hoped to connect with you if possible. I'm sure you have received MORE than your share of attention and press after you and your partner shared the much touted and Celebrated (Celebrated in our circles!) Kiss last year. My wife to be is also in the Navy and we were overjoyed at the repeal of DADT and that this was just one small step towards inclusion and openness. Anyhoo….. I would like to invite you and your partner to our group AMPA (American Military Partner Association) where you will both find support as well as an opportunity to meet many others in the same boat.
If you are curious as to what we are about, please check out our public Facebook page (we have a Private FB group as well that most of us use to talk to each other) In addition our website If you would like to join, please message ♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ ♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ personally and he will gladly add you. They have literally been a lifeline during my partners year long stint overseas in S. Korea last year (She's also a linguist) and especially before DADT was repealed and we were supposed to be non-existent. If you want your privacy, I absolutely respect that. Just thought I would throw it out there if you were interested.
Most sincerely, ♣♣♣♣♣♣♣
So, I am not gay*. In neither of those posts do I claim to be the person pictured. Someone needs to work on reading comprehension. . .
* I almost mentioned that I could be gay in the 16th century sense, as in pleasantly happy. But I would hate to confuse anyone. So I will keep this joyous thought to myself. (Whoops, almost to myself!)
Update: I received this email in response to my post:
so, instead of answering me politely and directly, you quote me in your blog as an example to be held up for mocking? Maybe that makes you feel better, but you just included information about myself and my partner that I wrote to you in confidence, believing you to be someone else. I don't appreciate it being used as "fodder" for your fan base or topic for your next epiphany.
Look Shipmate, you sent me a knuckle-headed email. And I ♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ out your name. I am a gentlemen and if you had approached me more humbly (saying perhaps: whoops, my bad!) I would have gladly scuttled this post.
But I do like epiphanies. And fodder. You should see the amount of hits they generate. Back when the Occupy Wall Street movement was going full-speed, I used to get thousands of visits a month from spun-up 99%ers. So please do share this. . .

At WhoWhatWear.com, we spend countless hours dissecting celebrity outfits, trying to determine why certain looks are so special, interesting, or just cuter than the rest. While weÂ've yet to hit upon a universal truth thus far, we have realized that sometimes all it takes is the addition of a single unexpected or fashion-forward item. TodayÂ's trendsetting muses are great examples of this theory, as they all wonderfully demonstrate of-the-moment looks.
Byrdie Bell
Though leather (or leather-like) leggings are not a new look per se, socialite Byrdie Bell makes them look fresh again. We appreciate the fact that she picked a cropped pair of leather pants; the shorter length lends a little polish to this distinctive piece. But more importantly, weÂ're quite fond of her uber-distressed top, as it adds a modern touch to the rockÂ'nÂ'roll pants. If you donÂ't already own a similarly skintight pair, we suggest checking out either BlankÂ's Skinny Pleather Pants
($78) or Paige DenimÂ's Rockingham Super Skinny Leather Pants
($595). If youÂ're hankering for an equally distressed top, definitely check out Alexander WangÂ's spring collection, including his Baggy Sweater
($395) and Baggy Long Sleeve Sweater
($595). We know not everyone wants to spend so much on a single piece, so we found additional options. T-shirt aficionados might like Raquel AllegraÂ's Shredded Tank ($198), while thrifty readers should visit Behind The Seams for DIY instructions on how to create a Wang-inspired thrashed top!
Lou Doillon
As youÂ've surely noticed, we have a great love for the classic tux jacket, particularly when itÂ's worn in a current way. Lou Doillon wore this traditional pieceÂ--mixed with silver and white sequinsÂ--to an Etam party in Paris and looked exceptionally great. Whether you decide to use a sparkly piece you already own, a vintage piece, or pick up something new (like the drool-inducing Midnight Sequin Dress ($352) by Ksubi or the Bolt Sequin Dress ($93) by WPQ), just balance the glitz with a sober jacket. As far as tuxes go, donÂ't miss SomethingÂ's Knit Jersey Tux Jacket ($156): itÂ's a killer piece at an excellent price!
Alexa Chung
Though there are many reasons we like Alexa ChungÂ's style, the tastemakerÂ's eye for detail definitely tops that list. Seen here at the ELLE Style Awards Party in London, Chung selected a simple white Charles Anastase Silk Sundress ($920) and beautifully understated pair of Luella by Georgina Goodman Anne T-Bar Shoes ($1011), both excellent choices. Of course, what really made this outfit is the jewelry, which transforms what would otherwise be a simple look into something interesting and cool. While ChungÂ's jumble of long and short necklaces includes an Augustina Jewellery Race Horse Charm ($220), obviously you can use any necklaces and pendants to get your own version of her style. If youÂ're simply stumped for options, try Arden B.Â's Long Rope Necklace ($18) layered with Jami RodriguezÂ's Ahoy Charm Necklace
($147), and perhaps throw in TopshopÂ's Ditzy Teddy Bear Pendant ($40) for a little fun!
Gwyneth Paltrow
One thing we noticed at New York Fashion Week was the preponderance of leather shorts on the runwaysÂ--they were everywhere! Unsurprisingly, Gwyneth PaltrowÂ's already ahead of the trend, as she wore a pair by Proenza Schouler to a screening at the Sunshine Cinema. (Curious minds: the rest of her outfit is also Proenza Schouler, save for her bag, which is TodÂ's Rounded Bracelet Clutch from their Fall 09 collection.) If youÂ're ready to swap out your beloved cutoffs for a more luxe pair of leather shorts, there are already a few products on the market. Try either Cheap MondayÂ's Samantha Leather Short
($90) or Silence & NoiseÂ's All Black Short ($55) for a relatively inexpensive version of the look.
Nicole Richie
We could point out so many amazing things about the ensemble Nicole Richie wore to the Andy Lecompte Salon Party: the amazing custom-made House of Harlow 1960 headpiece, stunning color of her gorgeous Issa Pleat Poncho ($500), or elegant simplicity of her nude Christian Louboutin heels. Though we adore all of these elements, today we must focus on her perfect vintage purse. The neutral snakeskin clutch is exactly what weÂ're craving right now. ItÂ's an ideal accessory, as it can go with so many different outfits, not to mention the fact that python-print pieces were all over the spring runways. If you donÂ't have this key item in your wardrobe, you might like Hobo InternationalÂ's Tango
($142) or Sondra Roberts New YorkÂ's Python Leather Flap Clutch
in Natural ($210). If want a dress reminiscent of RichieÂ's poncho, try the Issa Silk Jersey Print Dress ($410). Finally, if youÂ're jonesing for a similar head adornment, her exact accessory is available as a made-to-order piece at the Andy Lecompte Salon (310.273.4100). If you canÂ't wait for custom, just pick up the very similar House of Harlow 1960 3-Strand Diamond Plate Head Piece ($205), also available at the Andy Lecompte Salon!
Taylor Momsen
Our final styling tip today comes from the fearless Taylor Momsen. The actress continues to play with daring trendsÂ--which is appropriate, given her age, and fun to watchÂ--most recently stepping out in a silky Jen Kao Jumpsuit ($1045, available at Curve NY 212.966.3626). The viscose playsuit has a lovely sheen and we like the way the material drapes too; itÂ's dressy in a completely unexpected way. Most jumpsuits are quite expensive, but TopshopÂ's got a slew of affordable options. We like the Silk All In One Playsuit ($80), which is available in a few colors, as well as the Helena Silk Playsuit ($90). The latter is a short suit, but itÂ's equally cute!

Workers with A and T Recovery prepare a WWII era FM-2 'Wildcat' Fighter plane for transport after it was recovered from Lake Michigan in Waukegan, Illinois. The aircraft, which was recovered from 200 feet of water, crashed into the lake on December 28, 1944 when the engine died while it was on a training mission being piloted by Ensign William Forbes. Forbes survived the crash. The aircraft, which is still owned by the U. Navy, will be shipped to the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida for restoration. (AFP)
