The blush is pretty but not a must have thankfully.
6/27/11 12:31 Tammie:
Oh, the lipstick is cute too (looked at this on my phone before, now on the PC) but still I don't want anything enough to rush out and get it…especially Chanel since it's so $$.
I JUST got a really pretty Chanel lipstick yesterday anyway, Chanel Rouge Allure 65 Insolente, which to my eyes isn't a whole lot different than the one pictured.

The Hanging Alarm Clock is yet another effort in the fight to get lazy bums out of bed in the morning.
We always think we can wake up and get stright out of bed in the morning but when push comes to shove we still try to hit the snooze button. Well if you don't stir after the first snooze the Hanging Alarm will climb 30cms further up and making the effort to press snooze again even greater. The idea being that you will eventually have to be out of bed just to switch the snooze on so you might aswell get up.
The Hanging Alarm Clock is easy to set and when activated plays the Close Encounters tune to give you a truly extraterrestrial awakening.
You might even go to bed earlier just so you can see the alarm work in the morning, or not.

The official opening of Stanhope House
On Friday 6th March, Stowe was greatly honoured to welcome back one of its most remarkable former pupils Sir Nicholas Winton MBE, when he officially opened Stanhope House, the Schools new boarding house for girls.
Click here to read the speech Ruth Humphreys made during the Chapel Service. Ruth was one of the childern Sir Nicholas saved in Prague as WWII broke out.
Sir Nicholas, who will celebrate his 100th birthday in May, was one of the Schools very first pupils when it opened in 1923. He is now most famed for Operation Kindertransport - the rescue that he single-handedly organised in 1939 of 669 mostly Jewish children from Nazi concentration camps in Czechoslovakia. Despite the scale of his achievement, however, his humanitarian work went unrecognised until 1988 when his late wife, Greta, found a scrapbook in the attic recording his heroic work. Since then, he has been honoured by Her Majesty the Queen and was nominated by the Czechoslovakian Government for the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize.
The Headmaster was particularly pleased too that Ruth Humphreys was also in attendance. Poignantly, Ruth was in the last train to leave Prague before war broke out. She arrived in London as a ten-year old refugee from Czechoslovakia and still remembers seeing Sir Nicholas at the station. Tragically both her parents were gassed in Auschwitz a stark reminder that, despite the current denials by some, the Holocaust was an indescribably brutal reality for millions of Jewish families. By chance, Ruth attends Stowe parish church, and heard that Sir Nicholas would be coming to Stowe until that point, she had no idea that he was a former pupil at the School.

POLL Big Cypress basin buys land for $2.1 million for new $9 million office
GOLDEN GATE ESTATES - 1977: The Florida Legislature creates the Big Cypress Basin as the local arm of the South Florida Water Management District.
1979-1993: A series of agreements transfers Collier County's primary drainage system to the Basin.
1988: The Basin takes over operation and maintenance of the system from county government.
1989: The Basin buys two lots on Janes Lane to house its first field station and offices.
2008: The Basin moves its administrative offices to leased space in the Poinciana Professional Park.
May 2010: A new administration building is dedicated on Horseshoe Drive and named for former state Rep. Mary Ellen Hawkins, who sponsored the legislation that created the Basin.
September 2010: The water management district approves a plan to buy a new field station site in the City Gate Commerce Center.
Source: Big Cypress Basin
The agency in charge of water management in Collier County is ankle deep in irony — sometimes deeper.
Heavy summer rains flood the Big Cypress Basin's base of operations in the J & C Industrial Park north of Pine Ridge Road.
That quirk is one of the reasons the Basin, the local arm of the South Florida Water Management District, is moving its field station after 20-plus years on Janes Lane.
The district's governing board recently approved the basin's plans to spend $2.1 million of basin taxpayer money to buy 5 acres in the City Gate Commerce Center, east of Collier Boulevard and north of Interstate 75.
The basin has budgeted $9 million to open a field station there by 2013.
"I wish I had it tomorrow," the basin's director of field operations Steve Ladd said.
Occasional flooding isn't the only challenge facing crews at the Janes Lane field station.
The field station serves as home base for 13 employees and a fleet of heavy equipment, from airboats to front-end loaders, that operates and maintains 162 miles of canals and 46 water control structures in Collier County.
The number of employees is expected to jump to more than 20 when the basin takes on responsibility for operating and maintaining the huge pump stations being built as part of the restoration of Picayune Strand State Forest.
The Janes Lane location, shoehorned among a warren of narrow roads, is a difficult place to move heavy equipment around, Ladd said.
Some of the equipment won't even fit inside the maintenance barn so mechanics have to work on it outdoors, he said.
The building, part of an old lumber yard, wasn't built to hurricane codes, potentially crippling the basin's response during a big blow.
The new location also will put crews closer to eastern Collier County, where most of the basin's canals and gates are located.
At 5 acres, the new location will about double the size of the field station.
"We'll be able to stretch out a little bit," Ladd said.
With more room, the field station will have more water management amenities on site.
A fuel station on the site will mean an end to having to pull equipment into the neighborhood gas station for a fill-up or to top off the tank before a hurricane.
The field station also will have a new communications tower; for now, some crews can't be reached on the radio if they are too far afield, Ladd said.
A new microwave tower will allow the water management district to monitor the basin's canals and water control structures from its West Palm Beach headquarters.
It's all a far cry from the basin's early days, when the field station had three employees: a manager, a mechanic and the guy who sprayed weed killer in the canals.
Ananta Nath, the basin's first engineer hired in 1986, said the new field station puts the basin on technological par with other parts of the 16-county district.
"Eventually, we're catching up," said Nath, now the basin's chief engineer.

But how less than $1 million of the money will be spent remains open to question, at least until Wednesday.
The Board of County Commissioners voted 2-0 last Friday to veto the FY'06 revenue-and-spending plan passed by the Assembly of Delegates two days earlier.
Commissioner Mary LeClair of Mashpee joined Bill Doherty of Harwich, chairman of the commissioners, in voting down the Assembly's budget.
Lance Lambros of Sandwich, the third commissioner, was not at the meeting and did not vote, but he participated in the discussion by speaker-phone and made it clear he would have voted to uphold the Assembly's budget had he been on hand.
Unless the Assembly votes by Wednesday to override the veto, the commissioners expect the budget proposal they submitted to the Assembly in March to take effect.
Doherty and LeClair had an opinion from county counsel Bob Troy in hand buttressing that expectation.
Chatham's Tom Bernardo, speaker of the Assembly, was on hand for the veto vote, and asked the commissioners to postpone acting until their regular Wednesday meeting, buying time for the commissioners and the Assembly to pursue a compromise.
Bernardo was carrying an opinion from the Boston municipal law firm of Kopelman and Paige that called into question key points in Troy's opinion. Bernardo said the ambiguities opened the possibility that avenues for compromise might be available. Still, Kopelman advised the Assembly to conduct an override vote before Wednesday to "best avoid a challenge to its response to" the commissioners' veto.
Doherty said the budget process laid out in the county charter left no room for negotiations once the Assembly had voted on the budget. That put the ball in the commissioners' court, and with no line-item veto power, they had to approve or disapprove the entire budget.
The Assembly's only available response is to override the veto.
Doherty said the Assembly budget's reductions in funding for the Cape Cod Economic Development Council and the Cape Cod Commission would compromise the agencies' abilities to fulfill county policies.
LeClair concurred, adding that she also wanted to support the seven Assembly delegates who had voted against the Assembly budget.
"They're willing to stand up and say no, and I think we have to support them," she said. It will take a two-thirds majority of the Assembly's weighted-by-population votes to override the veto, and the Assembly was closely split when it passed the budget recommended unanimously by its Standing Committee on Finance.
Eight delegates voted in favor of the budget. They represent 56.05 percent of the Cape's population. Tom Lynch, Barnstable's delegate and steward of 21.52 percent of the Assembly's total vote, was in that group.
The seven dissenters represent communities that account for the remaining 43.95 percent of Cape Cod's population, and most were vocal opponents not just of the budget itself but also of the process out of which it emerged, making it unlikely that they will change their votes.

WOODSTOCK–What I assumed would be an easy return to the bench turned into quite the adventure as the North Country girls hockey team managed to escape with a 9-6 win over the Wasps on Wednesday night.
"It was not the prettiest win I have ever seen, but the girls need to put this one behind them and get ready for Stowe on Friday," I said to myself after the game.
With assistant coaches Tom Bernier and Tracy Muzerall unavailable for the game, head coach Claude Paul asked me if I would like a chance to resume my old duties as an assistant coach for the evening.
JAY-The North Country icemen rallied for a pair of third period scoring plays and knocked off the visiting Middlebury Tigers 2-1 at the Ice Haus atop Jay Peak. It took goals by Ryan Paul and Adam Viens to secure the victory. Falcon junior netminder Chris Bronson kicked out 16 shots to help lock down the Tigers.
The Falcons scored twice in a span of two minutes in the third period to get the equalizer and the lead goal. Logan Fortier led Ryan Paul who went through a pair of Tiger defenders. Paul fired the disk past Middlebury goaltender Nick Brunch knotting things up at 1 all.
ORLEANS—The Lady Rangers of Lake Region played host to the Stowe Raiders Tuesday night, and after a shaky first quarter, the blue and white came alive and lit the opponent up to the tune of a 56-13 drubbing.
STOWE– On Tuesday, the North Country boys and girls snowboarding teams traveled to Stowe to take part in a slope side competition against four other schools. The day was cold, the rails were solid and the jumps were huge. When the snow had settled, the girls team tied for first place with Burr and Burton Academy, and were led by captains Gina Basiliere, who finished second and Anna Ghelli in third.
The boys team had a third place finish as a team, and they were paced by Justin Christopher's ninth place finish and Josh Brien, who rode in at the number twelve spot.
Essex Tops Falcons 44-34
ESSEX–The North Country girls had well played, hard fought game against the Essex Hornets, but in the end they came up on the short end of the stick, falling by ten 44-34.
"It was a great game," said coach Christiane Brown, "It was a back and forth, well controlled contest."
After being down by one 12-11 after one, the Falcons went on the attack to go up 21-16 at the half.
"We were super disciplined. By shortening the game we limited them from getting their running game going," said Brown.
NEWPORT–The North Country boys basketball team is in a state of flux right now. The team has been trying to establish an identity as a defensive minded physically and mentally tough group, but with a stream of players going in and out of the line-up as of late, it has been tough.
"We started off 4-3 and we are now 4-9. We are on a six game losing streak and we are frustrated," said coach Brian Bonvechio, "We feel like we are playing hard enough, but we are not getting things done that we need to."
ORLEANS-With a four game wining streak under their belts, the Lake Region Rangers looked to continue the trend. Visiting Danville had other ideas as they pulled away late for a 63-57 victory. The Indian backcourt had their way with the Rangers guards as Kyle Johnson and Scott Remick combined for 41 points for Danville. The tandem forced numerous turnovers, laying the groundwork for the Indians' eleventh win of the year.
WESTMORE–With perfect weather conditions and lightly falling snow to accent the mood, the North Country Nordic teams had a great day at the races on Saturday.
The Falcon girls won the race with a score of 22, besting hosts St. Johnsbury and two other teams to earn the win. The NCU boys came in third with a score of 49 behind St. Johnsbury in first and Burlington in second.
ORLEANS-They say most times you learn more from a loss than a win. That will probably be the case as Coach Mark Tinker's valiant Ranger girls gave 12-1 Oxbow everything they wanted and more before falling 45-41 at the Don Harter Gymnasium over the weekend.
JERICHO–The North Country wrestling team was the top finishing Vermont school in weekend tournament action. The crew took home sixth place out of seventeen teams, and coach Chris Mandigo was very pleased with his teams efforts.
"They wrestled extremely well, and I am very proud of them."
Here are the results from the tournament:
1) Makenzie Steel (Lake Region), 120lbs, had two good matches. Did not place.
2) Josh Tompkins, 145lbs, went 1/2, did not place, pinned Spaulding opponent Anthony Duchamel-Garcia in 38 seconds.

|Summary / Abstract
|Smoky Valley Mining Company, Round Mountain, Nevada, was the pioneer operation designed for large scale heap leaching of crushed gold ores. It is located in the Big Smoky Valley which stretches 160 km (100 miles) through central Nevada west of the Toiyabe Mountain Range. Gold was first-discovered at Round Mountain, 88 km (55 miles) north of Tonopah, in 1905; and mining in the area included placer operations, which ran from 1946 to about 1960. Smoky Valley Mining Company is a partnership of Felmont Oil Co., Case-Pomeroy & Co., and Copper Range Co., with the latter being wholly owned by Louisiana Land and Exploration Co. In 1969, an option on the Round Mountain property was acquired by Copper Range, and during 1974 a decision was reached to proceed with mine development and plant construction. Ore reserves were reported at 10,537,000 mt (1 1,617,000 st) of 2.09 g per mt (0. 061 oz per ton) gold using a cut- off grade of 0.69 g (0.02 oz). Silver content was approximately 2.4 g per mt (0.07 oz per ton) and the waste to ore ratio was about 1: 1. By the end of 1976 heap leaching was in operation. The ore is a rhyolite tuff, sometimes described as a gold porphyry with highly abrasive qualities but which does not break down into slimes upon contact .with cyanide solutions. Gold is unevenly distributed through the ore but as a whole it is in a very finely divided state. Climatic conditions are extreme in central Nevada. Summers are hot and dry while winters are windy and cold with subfreezing temperatures. Elevation of the property is about 1,920 m (6,300 ft). Precipitation averages 203 mm (8 in.) per year. Until February of 1980, leaching was continued until the temperature reached minus 2ºC (28º F), and about 10 months leaching was the average. Water for the operation is drawn from the Toiyabe Mountains through a 13. 7 km (8. 5 mile) pipeline, originally installed in 1915, or from wells in the valley bottom. The plant requires make-up water at the rate of about 1,500 liters per min (400 gpm). On a schedule of three shifts, seven days per week, the daily output at Round Mountain amounts ,to 12, 700 mt (14, 000 st) consisting of 6,350 mt (7,000 st) each of ore and waste. Ore is hauled with a fleet of 45 mt (50 st) trucks and dumped into the 1,0.70 by 1,650 mm (42 by 65 in. ) gyratory primary crusher located near the pit. The primary

How to Water Your Lawn Efficiently
For many, a lush green thick lawn is a symbol of proud home ownership as well as a pleasant place on which to relax or play. Having a green lawn requires a lot of water, so it's important to learn ways to conserve as much as possible. Consider experimenting with using native grasses that use less water and can be quite attractive.
1Water only when your grass needs it. Water conservation isn't the only reason to limit the amount of water you give your lawn. Overwatering is also bad for your lawn's health and can contribute to the development of fungus and disease. Some types of grass require more water than others, and environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind can dramatically affect how frequently you need to water your lawn. Fortunately, the most accurate way to determine whether your lawn needs water is also the easiest: just look at the grass:
- When grass needs water, it will begin to take on a blue-gray tint, and the older leaf blades on the plant will begin to curl up or wilt.
- Footprints will remain on the grass for longer than usual, as the grass won't "bounce back." When 30 to 50% of your lawn shows these symptoms, it's time to water.
2Water deeply to encourage deep root growth. Frequent shallow waterings encourage weed germination, and they also cause the grass plants' roots to grow shallow, leaving the plant more susceptible to drought and to certain diseases. Watering only when your grass really needs it encourages the roots to grow deeper, but only if you apply enough water each time to penetrate the root zone.
- The most accurate way to determine the depth of the root zone is to dig a small hole and measure how far the roots go down.
- Alternatively, you can follow these general approximations: if you have a bluegrass lawn, each watering should moisten the soil to 6 to 8 inches (15.2 to 20.3 cm), while for most other grasses, the water should penetrate 8 to 12 inches (20.3 to 30.5 cm). You can determine how long to leave the sprinkler system on by using one of the following methods:
- Turn on your sprinkler for 15 minutes. After 18 to 24 hours, find out how deep the water soaked in by digging a small hole in the watered area or using a probe (a probe will push easily through damp ground). You can also push a shovel into the ground and use it as a lever to spread the soil apart enough so that you can see several inches below the surface. Once you see how deep the water went in 15 minutes, you can calculate how long you need to leave your sprinkler on.
- For example, if the soil is damp to 4 inches (10.2 cm) below the surface and your goal is to moisten the soil to a depth of 8 inches (20.3 cm), you'll need to leave the sprinkler on for 30 minutes (2 x 15 minutes) each time you water.
- Estimate how much water you'll need based on your soil type. In general, 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water will penetrate sandy soils to 12 inches (30.5 cm), loamy soils to 6 to eight inches, and clay soils 4 to 4 inches (10.2 to 10.2 cm). Using these estimates isn't quite as accurate as digging, but it's pretty close, especially if you have a good knowledge of your soil composition. To figure out how long you need to keep your sprinkler or sprinkler system on, calibrate your sprinklers.
3Water early in the morning. When you use sprinklers, some water evaporates before it hits the ground. On a hot, windy day, the amount of water that never reaches your grass can be substantial. To reduce loss to evaporation, water sometime between 4 A.M. and 9 A.M., when the air is still cool and the wind is usually at its calmest.
- Avoid watering your lawn with hot water. On hot days, the water inside your hose can become very hot from solar energy—hot enough to scald! It's better to just skip watering that day, and water early the next morning. Run your hose after the sun has gone down, to empty out any hot water.
4Aim your sprinklers to water the lawn. That's the part that needs the moisture—not the sidewalk or street! Slight adjustments to your sprinklers can save a lot of water. Ideally, you shouldn't water your sidewalk, patio, street, or driveway at all.
5Avoid creating runoff. Even with sprinklers correctly targeted at the lawn, many people water until—or even after—water begins to run off the grass and into the street or driveway. This can waste a lot of water, and it isn't doing your lawn any good.
- If water starts to run off your lawn before you've been able to give it a deep watering, turn off the water for 15 to 20 minutes to let the ground absorb the water, and then continue watering as needed (rotating a sprinkler between one area and another will also do the trick).
- Some soil types absorb water more slowly than others, but runoff can also be caused by excessive thatch buildup, which can promote disease—which is sometimes caused by routine overwatering.
6Let the rain do your work for you. Nothing looks more wasteful than running your sprinklers while it's raining. If your sprinkler system is on a timer, get and install a rain sensor that automatically turns the water off when it rains. If possible, also avoid watering if rain is expected later in the day or during the next day. Your grass should be fine, even if it looks stressed.
- Use a rain gauge to determine how much rain you received, and then water a bit more only if needed.
- If you're expecting rain, and your soil is dry, run the sprinkler to moisten it so that the soil absorbs the rain more easily.
7Get a Rain Barrel. Use a rain barrel to water gardens and landscapes. A properly installed rain barrel harvests rainwater from the gutters of your home and provides ample water for gardens and landscape areas. Capturing this rainwater reduces the amount of run off that may otherwise be picking up garbage, oils, fertilizers, pesticides and other pollutants that are on your lawn, sidewalk and street. This also reduces the amount of pollution getting into our rivers, lakes, streams and ocean.
8Water problem areas by hand. Many lawns have one or two spots that require more water than the rest of the lawn. A south-facing slope (or, in the Southern Hemisphere, a north-facing slope), or an unshaded area in an otherwise shady lawn are two common examples of these "problem areas." If you water your entire lawn every time you need to water these hot spots, you'll likely overwater everyplace but these spots. Instead, water them by hand or use a separate sprinkler that's not attached to the rest of your irrigation system.Ad

- To learn about other options to make your lawn more environmentally friendly, or to discover sustainable alternatives to lawns, please explore the related wikiHow articles.
- Aerating your lawn once a year can increase the soil's infiltration rate (the rate at which it absorbs water), and reduce runoff problems.
- Grass that is overwatered will often exhibit some of the same symptoms as grass that needs water. If you notice the symptoms but the soil is damp, hold off on watering.
- Local extension services or water conservation authorities can provide additional information on how to water your lawn and on other techniques to save water while keeping your lawn looking its best.
- While deep watering will help your grass become more drought resistant, watering enough to moisten the soil below the root zone is unnecessary and wasteful, as the grass won't be able to access moisture deeper than its roots.
- If you live in a climate with moist, mild winters and dry summers (i.e. a Mediterranean climate), consider letting your lawn go dormant in the summer. You'll have a beautiful green lawn for most of the year without having to water your lawn at all. The grass will go brown in the heat of the summer, of course, but it will green up again when the weather changes (though some types of grasses may require reseeding in spots). This technique has become somewhat fashionable among environmentally conscious residents in parts of the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
- If you choose to use a pesticide or herbicide to get a lush lawn, be very care and judicious in your use, as overuse can negatively impact your environment.
- To check if soil in the root zone is adequately watered, squeeze a handful of it into a ball. If the ball is damp and holds its moisture, the soil is properly watered. If the soil crumbles or appears dry or dusty, it's under watered, and if you can squeeze water out of the ball, the soil is overwatered.
- Watering in the evening is not recommended. It reduces evaporation (like watering early in the morning), but because the above-ground portion of the grass plant stays damp all night, it can encourage the development of turf-grass diseases.
- Be sure to check local ordinances before creating a rain barrel. In some places, (like Colorado) it is illegal. This is due to water rights laws which allocate all fresh water in rivers and streams, including the runoff into a river from rainfall, to a hierarchy of water rights owners. These owners may be ranchers, farmers, or municipal water administrators in each river's watershed.
- Newly sodded or seeded lawns require more frequent watering than mature lawns. Established lawns with patch diseases may also benefit from more frequent watering.
- Find out if your community has watering restrictions. Many communities have responded to water shortages by implementing laws that restrict how many times per week residents can water their lawns, or for how long, and/or at what times. If you live in such an area, this article can still help you, but be sure to abide by the restrictions.

Most tech pundits have given a negative outlook to Windows 8, primarily due to its touch-optimized interface on keyboard and mouse PCs. Great, we know how techies feel about Windows 8. How about real people? Yeah, yeah, we have already seen some reactions from "normal people" when prompted to use Windows 8. But a potentially edited video of someone wandering the streets and asking a handful of random strangers to try Windows 8 on-the-spot without any real time with the operating system isn't, in my opinion, really a fair way to judge Microsoft's latest creation. So what is a better way? User reviews of computers that run Windows 8.
Before we go further, let me clarify that, yes, reviews that users submit online may or may not be very accurate. The accuracy or a user-submitted review of a product on an online website often depends on what website you are looking at and what type of product is being discussed. So, yes, looking at reviews of computers running Windows 8 submitted by star-clicking users may not be the perfect way to learn how people feel about the operating system. However, it is still interesting to look at. And look at it we shall.
Ed Bott of ZDNet took analyzed 42 reviews submitted by people who purchased Windows 8 computers from the Home Shopping Network. (You know, the type of reviews people submit after purchasing a product online, the reviews where you rate a product on an arbitrary scale that typically ranges from 1 to 5 stars and leave an optional comment.) Bott specifically selected Home Shopping Network (HSN) because of two factors — the high volume of tech purchases that happen on HSN and the fact that most people buying from HSN aren't necessarily techy but rather "real people" (as Bott elegantly puts it). The reviews were spread over three different Windows 8 laptops, one from Acer and two from Gateway (which, as coincidence may have it, is owned by Acer). All three of these machines are low-end machines that target price-sensitive consumers. (Acer likes to operate in the low-end market.) Bott did not mention if the machines he looked at are touch or non-touch laptops, but I assume they are non-touch since they are low-end.
The following is what Bott found:
- 21% said they love what they purchased, which presumably means they love their computer and Windows 8.
- 24% reviewers specifically mentioned that they like Windows 8, leaving comments such as
- "The setup of windows 8 is great I can see everything with [ease]. The computer itself has so many features that I have had it a week and still discovering new ones."
- "Windows 8 has a bit of a learning curve but overall, I like it."
- "Great machine! Win 8 easier to learn than expected."
- "I love it! It's fast, Windows 8 is rather easy to use…"
- 19% have not yet decided how they feel about Windows 8, reflected in comments such as
- "Windows 8 … this take some getting used to. The idea of getting to information faster is good however, there aren't enough programs preloaded."
- "Trying to get use to this new windows 8."
- "I haven't made my mind up about Windows 8. I've sort of figured out how to use it but I find myself switching back to the desktop. It's easier for me to navigate."
- 21% hate the hardware that they bought, which has nothing to do with Windows 8 but rather the fact that low-end machines typically come with below-par hardware.
- 14% hate Windows 8, with one person calling it a "a real pain", another person declaring "not crazy about Windows 8", while a different person is not happy that they ran into an error within three days: "Looks beautiful but after 3 days it now has a pc error. I had to reset. So no i'm not a happy consumer. … Also i hate windows8. Thank you".
Of course a review of 42 reviews submitted by users online isn't exactly a study that is going to be published in Science Mag; what Bott found shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence of anything simply because there are inherent flaws with user-submitted reviews and that fact that Bott picked reviews of similar machines on the same website. However, the results are actually fairly encouraging, if you are Microsoft or you are someone looking to take the dive into Windows 8. They are definitely not inline with what tech blogs have been spouting for the past few months, with more people appearing to be happy with Windows 8 than disliking it.

I got it for free from university…windows 8 pro that is. Is so fast. It boots till you end saying fish. Also the way you swap between windows is preety cool. I can browse web and in the corner keep the soap opera playing. And no..no errors till now. And it looks quite fancy. I heard a web developer that IE 10 (that comes with Windows 8) is quite a good browser – I'm so much staying on the lap of papa microsoft right now – such a strange feeling to over-enjoy a microsoft product.
I have an extra 500GB drive laying around and I'm seriously thinking about putting 8 on it just to see what it's like and to play around with it. I still will probably use 7 to do any productive work.
I'm amused at the Microsoft ads for 8 I see on TV. All they show is photos and people playing with it. I've yet to see anybody doing any real work with it!
Not as bad as expected? Odd, I seem to recall many reviewers being excited at how good it is.
Windows 8 is probably the only thing that could drive me into the arms of Apple.
Up until now, I've stuck with MS through all its Windows incarnations, from 3.1 upwards (including, briefly, Vista). No more. If Windows 9 is as cumbersome as Windows 8, I'm buying a Mac when Win 7 gives up the ghost. SEVERAL Macs, in fact.
And, no, Linux is not a solution
win8 upgrade will make sense if MS can figure out solutions to at least some of the common complaints. handling apps in a new OS is always problematic unless the OS becomes stable.
A while ago I saw some article that claimed that a person who got Win8 was able to request and obtain a downgrade to Win7.,
If I see such an article again, and am assured that is truly the case, I will buy a copy and upgrade.
If not, I definitely will not.

text: bobsim141 5pts After reading the comments posted here, I can see that change is going to be difficult for most gear heads. A few years ago, they said "when electric cars can go head to head with ICE cars in performance and give 150 mile range I will consider it." Now the Tesla has proven that it can beat the best super cars in the world and have a 200mile range, it is still not enough. The nitpicking and lack of vision of the commentators here is why it is so difficult to get an electric car industry off the ground in the USA. Lets take the major points one by one:- The price comparisons of Tesla and are ridiculous. The Teslas are hand built one at a time (15 per month) where Porsche is a regular production car. Tesla Corp has only been in existence for 6 years and has produced a car that beats the fabled Porsche Spyder in acceleration up to 80mph and also on the quarter mile! It also beats the Porsche 911 dual turbo in 0-60 mph and that car sell for $143,000. Every performance spec of the Tesla beats 99.9% of ICE cars out there including most super cars. Still not enough !!!- So the steering is a bit heavy, the brakes are only 90% as good as the Porsche and you can't really feel the limits of the car as well as a Porsche. Do you really think that these issues are difficult to fix compared to designed the electric portion of it ? - Re the constantly reiterated comments that the CO2 produced at the electric power plants negates the savings of the car itself, balderdash. Even the most inefficient coal fired power plant produces much less CO2 per KW than the most efficient ICE car. Not to mention that 27.5% of electric energy in the USA is generated from nuclear or renewable sources. This last part will go up dramatically as more nuclear plants, wind farms and solar energy come on line. - It took 100 years to develop the gasoline energy network we now have. Developing an equivalent electric network will be much faster. Bring on the electric cars and the network will follow. Tesla with its tiny capacity has already managed to install a few dozen charge stations in California. Swappable batteries will also become the norm. - Tesla has proven the concept of a very useable electric car with a +200mile range. That it beats 99.9% of ICE cars in performance is a bonus. That, as a hand built car it does not compete on price compared to production cars is perfectly understandable. Now that Tesla has partnered with Toyota and is moving production into Toyota's super efficient California plant, watch the prices tumble. The model S 4 door still beats the performance of the Porsche at only $49,000. And it does not put out 1 lb. of CO2 per mile as the Porsche. So all you gear heads, if the sound of an ICE engine is all you need I am sure Tesla could put a recording in as you ( don't ) change gears. LOLIn parting, it costs Toyota $1,000,000,000 dollars to create a new car mode (their numbers). The GMC Volt still isn't ready and has drained many billions alreadyl. So just imagine the scale of the accomplishment Tesla has managed on just a few million dollars. Get on the band wagon and be proud Americans. Cheers to all, Bob Simpson

YIELD: 46 servings
- Two 1 lb salmon fillets, skin on, center-cut and trimmed to be the same size
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped coarsely
- 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped coarsely
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 4 hot red chilies, seeded and chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Kitchen twine
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare the salmon fillets by trimming the extra thin belly part. Use tweezers to pull out any bones. Blot dry and sprinkle half of the cinnamon on the meat side of each fillet and set aside to make the filling.
In a food processor, place the walnuts, garlic, cilantro, parsley, lemon juice and zest, chilies, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, olive oil, salt and pepper. Pulse a couple of times until all the ingredients are chopped. Don't overprocesstry to keep a slightly coarse texture.
Place one fillet skin side down on a working surface and place enough of the spicy walnut filling to fully coat the fish. Cover with the other fillet skin side up. Using the kitchen twine, gently tie up the fish to ensure the filling stays in place. Drizzle olive oil in the baking dish and put in the prepared fillet, drizzling a little more oil on top. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until done. Serve with tabbouleh and spicy tahini sauce on the side to drizzle over the cooked fish.

Judge Asked to Lift Florida Keys Gay Marriage Stay
Posted: Mon 3:27 PM, Jul 21, 2014 | By: Associated Press Email
News Release: Associated Press
July 21, 2014
MIAMI (AP) — The attorney for a gay couple is asking a Florida Keys judge to lift a stay in his ruling that Florida's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.
The motion was filed Monday morning with Monroe County Circuit Judge Luis Garcia. The judge ruled last week that the ban on same-sex marriage added to the state constitution by Florida voters in 2008 is discriminatory and violates gay people's right to equal treatment under the law.
Garcia ruled marriage licenses could be issued in Monroe County beginning Tuesday. That was blocked by an automatic stay triggered when Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi filed notice of the state's appeal.
It wasn't immediately clear when Garcia might rule.
Lawsuits challenging Florida's gay marriage ban are also pending in Miami-Dade County and Tallahassee federal court.

I saw this idea on Pinterest, where you take a picture of your little preschooler the morning he goes into preschool and write on a chalkboard "First Day of Preschool" and the date. When I pulled out the chalkboard the night before and was about to write on it, my husband (oh so genius husband) thought it would be cute to have our son write it. Then year after year he can do the same thing and we can see how his handwriting improves. So cute! It's going to be so fun in 3rd grade when he starts cursive. Here's my little monkey on his first day of preschool! What a perfect little model!

Yard Renovation #1
For the past two months I've put all of my spare time into redesigning part of our front yard. Here's what it looked like two months ago.
That front patio just had to go. My new thing is, that if it's not being used, then just get rid of it. It was ugly, I didn't use it and I was sick of pulling weeds from it to make it look nice for no reason. So one morning after my husband left for work. I just went for it.
We had a lot of things we were working on in the house, so when he got home and saw that I had started a new project his jaw was touching his toes, but I assured him that this was MY project and I would do it all while he was at work.
I never drew out any plans, (very professional, I know!) I just had my ideas in my head.
While I was laying my bricks out where I thought they should go, I decided that the planter in the middle of my yard needed to go, so that it wouldn't block my new creation. So out went that thing!
And we laid grass seed...
Here was my first attempt. As you can see I didn't stager the bricks. I just didn't know that you had to, but now I do. It makes it stronger. If you have straight lines of just mortar it'll be very weak and could break very easily. I just had to learn this the hard way. This happened to me the day before mother's day and I spent the rest of that night taking apart my wall and scraping off all of the mortar from the bricks. Ugh!!!
Under the patio was a few feet of just sand, so I transferred a lot of it to another part of our yard, where we actually would like a patio.
I just have to say that I never thought that I would have to haul a million loads of sand and dirt before. But it's a skill that I do possess now. Not sure if I should be proud of that or not. Oh well!
I then laid grass seed all right here so it would come right up to the first planter, where I would have my flowers.
Over on this end I had to dig out a stone, so my husband could get a sprinkler hooked up in there. I don't do sprinklers. That's my husbands job, but now that I've done all of this, I'm pretty sure I could handle that too. ;o)
Then I had to take care of the drain, so it wouldn't just collect right here at the corner of my planter. I got a bindable draining pipe that has little slits in it and drilled that onto the end of the water spout. High enough so no dirt will get in it.
And then I ran it along the side of the house with a subtle down grade, so the water will carry all through the planter.
And capped the end.
Filled it with dirt from my back yard, where we're going to put in a fire pit and patio.
Then added flowers, plants and a cute little window box and I couldn't be more happy with the results.

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grapefruit zest
4 tablespoons grapefruit juice
3 egg yolks

Make It...
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl mix together all wet ingredients, milk, oil, zest, grapefruit juice and egg yolks. Add to dry ingredients and beat until smooth. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar separately until barely stiff. Gradually fold egg whites into flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just blended. Do not stir.
Pour into cupcake cups. Fill to the top since this mixture doesn't expand that much.
Bake for about 18 minutes. Let cool on cake rack.

Porous Boundaries
With SFMOMA's expansion and renovation scheduled to start in 2013, I have been thinking about Swiss architect Mario Botta. Botta designed the current San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which the Norwegian collective Snøhetta's sleek new design will eventually gut and grow south and east to create a striated mesa-like mass. Botta's red brick Third Street façade and black-and-white atrium tower will remain intact, but the current building's stately formality, symmetric geometry, and byzantine flavor will be softened, ...
