3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulJune 22, 2007Reviewer: Vicki in ArizonaLove this product. We've not only used it as a drink mix alone, but have also added it to tea and even mixed it into plain yogurt for a tasty treat. A little goes a long way!This review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Orange
3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulMay 30, 2007Reviewer: Mike in New YorkStevita flavored drink mix is the best zero carb product I've ever tasted. This concentrated formula contains 480mg of stevia so you only need one teaspoon to make a quart of this delicious drink. I'm so impressed with this product that it will become the only beverage we'll use, plus it contains vitamin C. You've got to try it to believe a healthy drink could taste this good.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulMarch 16, 2012Reviewer: Amie in IllinoisI am delighted that a product such as this exists! I have lately been seeking out more and more natural food and beverage products, and this one has helped me to dramatically reduce my diet soda consumption. It is a good quality product; I like things on the sweeter side, and even when I make this double-strength, there is no bitter stevia aftertaste. I mix it with water, hot green tea, iced green tea and even unflavored gelatin. I highly recommend it.This review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Strawberry
May 10, 2014Reviewer: Julia in ColoradoLove, love, love. As a healthier alternative to Crystal Light (artificial sweeteners--yuck!) I mix this into my plain greek yogurt to skip all the sugar. Never tried it as a drink mix, but for my purposes it's perfect. My favorite flavor is the cherry. It runs out fast because I tend to put almost a tbsp in at a time (for a full cup of nonfat plain yogurt). Only the lime has been a miss so far.
February 03, 2014Reviewer: Carole in TexasMy grand kids love it! I love it too! We have tried all the flavors and they are ALL GREAT!This review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Cherry
July 21, 2011Reviewer: Georgia in New YorkThis product works for me. I hate drinking water. Now, I make a half gallon at a time and being summer, I'm drinking all of it. Two rounded tsps. does it and the $$ is excellent. Kinda Kool-Aidish without the sickening over sweet taste. I'm stickin' with it from now on!!
April 02, 2011Reviewer: A customer in MinnesotaLove this product! Convenient for bringing to work. Tastes so great I went back and ordered 10 boxes! Have only tried the Lime flavor, but now ordered others too.This review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Lime
November 18, 2010Reviewer: A customer in IllinoisI love these individual packets. Easy to take with me to have my own "lime margarita" when friends are drinking the real thing. Delicious!This review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Lime
October 09, 2010Reviewer: Kelly in ArizonaHealthy "Kool-Aid!" If you're trying to avoid artificial sweeteners, but want some 0 calorie variety to your water, this is an EXCELLENT option. So far, I have only tried the Strawberry and Grape flavors, but loved those so much, I'm ordering all the others offered. And there's no funky chemical aftertaste like with Crystal Lite (aspartame - yuck!), though - if you're familiar with Stevia, you can tell the difference between it and sugar.
February 15, 2010Reviewer: evlyn in OhioI got the grape to try the product. It is very sweet, but only had a hint of grape flavor. I mixed it with some unsweetened grape kool-aid, and that did the trick! This mix is very sweet without the bitter taste that you can get from using Stevia. I'll but it again for sure!This review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Grape
July 21, 2009Reviewer: Kathy in KansasI mix this in my bottle of water to make the water go down a lot easier. I know I need to drink it, but I find it difficult to drink enough plain water. I use less mix than the directions call for, actually 1/4 tsp per quart, and enjoy drinking my water. I'm going to order the tropical cherry mix next time, too, and hope it's as good as the fresh lime.This review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Lime
May 28, 2008Reviewer: Donna in New YorkLOVE THIS!! I'm not a water drinker so I got this to take along on long car trips. It really tastes great. Would definitely recommend. DonnaThis review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Lime
August 31, 2007Reviewer: KENNETH in Rhode IslandGreat product. Not filled with Splenda and other sweeteners that are bad for you health. I mix a little with ice tea, or make a spritzer using it in seltzer. Seems expensive at first glance - not so when you consider how little it takes to make a quart. Stevia is an all natural product that the sugar and chemical gang has paid Congress off not to allow as a sweetener in food products.This review is specific to Stevita Flavored Drink Mix, Orange

The church was under-insured, so it still needs to raise three hundred thousand dollars. Church leaders hope construction can start before the end of the year. Right now services are being held at Camp Caroline.

HTC One Mini 2: Same award-winning design, gutted hardware
HTC is hoping its range of One smartphones will appeal to a wider market with the unveiling of its Mini 2 smartphone last night.
HTC is hoping its range of One smartphones will appeal to a wider market with the unveiling of its Mini 2 smartphone last night.
HTC is hoping the design and the ability to take high-resolution selfies with a 5-megapixel front camera will make its One Mini 2 a hit.
HTC's 130MB software update to the One (M8) smartphone delivers additional improvements to the One's connectivity, call audio performance and camera, but the most valuable inclusion is the long promised 'extreme power saving mode'.
Whispers of a new smartphone flagship free from a high price-tag has reached Australian shores. A new company called OnePlus would work with fan-favourites CynogenMod on the new no-compromise device, with a selective rollout commencing from April 201...
Smartphone flagships for 2014 have been announced by Samsung, HTC, Nokia, Sony and more. Many of them have found themselves on shop shelves already, but which is the smartphone you want to spend the next 24 months with? This slideshow brings the next...
Wireless carriers in the U.S., handset makers and the industry's lobbying group have made a significant concession on technology that could remotely disable stolen smartphones and tablets.
In a matter of days, Samsung's new Galaxy S5 will be sold in stores. It'll sit alongside HTC's One (M8), which was released but ten days earlier. Sony's Xperia Z2 will follow shortly, along with Nokia's recently unveiled Lumia 930. The tech-savvy wil...
Two of the hottest smartphones this year have been priced by etailer Kogan, the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One (M8). The Galaxy is drastically cheaper than Samsung's recommended retail price. What's the catch, Kogan?
Overnight Nokia announced the Lumia 930 at the Microsoft Build conference in San Francisco, a Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone bristling with both features and the adored design language technophiles identify as uniquely Nokia.
This week on World Tech Update, our weekly news video review, we take a closer look at Microsoft's long-awaited Office for iPad.
HTC's latest flagship will go on sale before Samsung's Galaxy S5, and the One (M8) will cost you less if you buy it from Optus or Vodafone. Does this make the One (M8) the bargain of the year?
HTC is hoping to expand its presence in China by partnering with one of the nation's largest retailers to sell its phones, and even help with product development, the Taiwanese handset maker said on Wednesday.
HTC will release a Google Play edition of its recently unveiled One (M8) smartphone. The new device will couple the One M8's premium hardware with Android KitKat software free from HTC's Sense user interface.
Two rear cameras, speakers that are 25 per cent louder and an all metal body are among the innovations made to HTC's new One M8 smartphone, the Taiwanese company confirmed.
HTC says its latest One flagship smartphone is akin to jewelry, placing it in the market as a premium product set apart from the competition.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

JOHANNESBURG — Defending champion Italy was eliminated Thursday from the World Cup with a humbling 3-2 loss to Slovakia, which advanced.
Slovakia finished second in Group F to Paraguay. The Italians were last, the first time they've ever finished at the bottom of an opening-round group.
For the third consecutive game, the Azzurri allowed an early goal and this time they never recovered.
Robert Vittek put Slovakia ahead in the 25th minute, taking advantage of an errant pass from midfielder Daniele De Rossi. Vittek doubled the lead from close range in the 73rd following a corner kick.
Antonio Di Natale scored for Italy in the 81st, but Kamil Kopunek ended Italy's chances eight minutes later, even though Fabio Quagliarella scored in injury time for the four-time champions.
It marked the end of an era for Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro and Gennaro Gattuso, who already announced their retirement from the national team after the tournament. Coach Marcello Lippi is also moving on, with Cesare Prandelli already chosen as his successor.
Italy's squad featured nine players 30 or over and Prandelli will be charged with a major overhaul. Italy hasn't won since beating Sweden 1-0 in a friendly in November, drawing five times and losing twice.
Never have the previous World Cup finalists both failed to advance in the next tournament when both qualified. France, which lost to Italy on penalty kicks for the 2006 title, went out earlier this week in Group A.
Slovakia plays Monday in Durban against the winner of Group E. Many of the Slovak players were in tears at the end of the match, and the reserves gathered in a circle, jumping up and down in celebration. It is the first World Cup for Slovakia as an independent nation.
Slovakia finished with a win, a draw and a loss for four points. Italy had two draws and Thursday's bitter defeat.
Italy also allowed early goals in its 1-1 draws with Paraguay and New Zealand and the Azzurri attack struggled in all three games – save for the final 10 minutes against Slovakia, when the Italians got desperate.
Vittek's opening goal came on a low shot just beyond the reach of goalkeeper Federico Marchetti, who again replaced the injured Gianluigi Buffon. He then went around Giorgio Chiellini from close range following a corner kick for his second goal.
Di Natale slid in a rebound from Quagliarella's shot and, with four forwards on, Quagliarella nearly equalized in the 85th, but was ruled offside by the smallest of margins.
Slovakia restored its two-goal lead in the 89th when substitute Kopunek lifted a bouncing ball over Marchetti.
Quagliarella finally found the target in the second minute of added time with a delicate lob.
Still, for 80 minutes Italy's forwards were unable to find the target, and no forward scored in open play during the Azzurri's opening two matches.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Ok, I know this pops up at least once a week, but I feel like I've exhausted the options. I ride a Cannondale R300.
Steps I've taken:
1. tightened seat rails, seatpost binder bolt, crankarms, stem, handlebar clamp.
2. lubed pedals
3. replaced old (crappy) BB with Shimano UN73 (a good one)
4. pulled the new BB 3x, repacking with grease, then teflon tape, then grease again (lots - basically filling the BB)
The only time that I've had any reduction in the amount / frequency of creaking was right after reinstalling with teflon tape. However, this wore off after a while and the creaking returned.
My questions:
1. How much teflon tape do I need to use? I did 3 -4 turns around the threads, thinking that was enough.
2. Has anyone had trouble with the plastic NDS cups on Shimano sealed cartridges? Should I buy another BB with an alloy NDS cup?

A Willmar woman is in custody in the Renville County Jail after allegedly selling more than 200 prescription pills to a drug task force informant. 46-year-old Susan Marie Erickson was pulled over by authorities following the alleged drug sale in the parking lot of Max's Grill in Olivia. During a search of her vehicle, the sheriff's deputy found the $2,800 in cash used by the undercover informant as well as over 200 different types of pills matching those that had been sold, including 61 oxycodone pills, 71 clonazepam pills and 85 morphine pills. Erickson pleaded not guilty to felony 1st and 2nd-degree drug sales charges in Renville County Court on Friday and her bail was set at $20,000 with conditions. She also has a prior conviction for controlled substance possession.

The search is on for 2 suspects who broke into a home to rob it and and ended up firing several shots according to investigators.
It happened around 2:00 Tuesday morning on Bruce Strickland road. The Pitt County Sheriff's Office says the person living there reported he woke up because his dog was barking. He then heard a loud noise at his front door, which he says was kicked in and three gun shots were fired. The victim said 2 men wearing all dark clothing demanded cash. When the victim said that he didn't have any cash, only a gun, the two suspects reportedly ran out the front door, and fired another shot. The victim was not injured.

yacht club - expensive and I wanted to like it but we just didn't. Our room was just up the stairs as you walk in and so every day we just walked out and didnt really feel there was much actual hotel. Dark, our room overlooked, well, nothing much. Perhaps if we'd had a better view? wouldnt do again
beach club - closer to epcot and we're trying it for the first time this year

Man faces decades in jail for BB gun assaultBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | March 19,2014A Rutland man faces up to 35 years in jail for an alleged assault and robbery with a BB gun.
Roosevelt M. Norris, 44, pleaded innocent Tuesday to felony charges of assault and robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a weapon.
When Norris public defender Nelson Floyd argued that setting bail at $75,000 was too high for an offense involving a BB gun, Judge Theresa DiMauro said she disagreed.
Its still capable of causing serious bodily injury if shot in the eye, the judge said.
According to an affidavit filed by Rutland City Police Detective Samson Delpha, Norris wouldnt have had to be much of a marksman to hit such a vulnerable target.
During the alleged assault on Monday afternoon, Norris allegedly pressed the muzzle into 32-year-old Robert Gradys eye while threatening to shoot him in the eye and the ear.
Grady told police that he was at his 21 Church St. apartment sometime after 5 p.m. Monday when Norris, who Grady said he knows by the names B and Maserati, knocked on his door.
He said he answered his door to find Norris pointing a gun at him that looked like a Glock handgun. Grady said Norris shot him with pellets while charging him. Grady told police he fell to the ground, and Norris got on top of him, striking him in the head and ribs with the butt of the gun.
While on top of Grady, Norris allegedly demanded to know Where is the (expletive) phone?
Grady said he was in fear for his life when he handed over his cell phone, a credit card and a jewelry box in the apartment.
Police say Grady was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center where it took five staples to close a wound to his head.
Norris left the apartment but was arrested soon after in Castleton at the Trak Inn. Police say he was found with a carbon dioxide-powered BB gun along with Gradys phone, the credit card and a jewelry box.

Exceptional play that I'd seen before, but this was a particularly powerful performance. I was in tears at times. I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes heavy, moving drama.

First time I ever left a play at intermission. Acting was poor, script was confusing, constant rearranging of chairs on stage annoying. Seats were great.

I just upgrade a few of our devices to IOS 5 and wifi stopped up functioning. We are use by means of WPA2 Enterprise with EAP-TLS and all the devices through IOS 4 still work fine. Is anyone experiencing this type of difficulty?
I just upgrade a few of our devices to IOS 5 and wifi stopped up functioning. We are use by means of WPA2 Enterprise with EAP-TLS and all the devices through IOS 4 still work fine. Is anyone experiencing this type of difficulty?
I'm almost certainly having the similar difficulty. Have a working wi-fi on my ipad 2, the internet was working well. Then I updated to IOS5 and it says that I cant connect to the wifi. But the wifi-icon it in the top left and tells me I am connected and I can locate the network in general-settings-network-menu and tap in the password without any difficulty. My other device that it is working ok on the same wifi, and I have restores the ipad to factory defaults, and it doesnt make any difference.
So, whats md5 and what be supposed to I do to obtain it working again? Im having the similar difficulty too on my iPod Touch. How do you fix it?
The difficulty is I was speaking about happens only if your wifi network is using WPA2 Enterprise with EAP-TLS; in that case ask you network administrator to test that the certificates of the radius server are SH1 sign and not MD5 signed, since the latter signature process has been deprecate in IOS 5.If you are not using WPA2 Enterprise and can't connect to the wifi network you have a different difficulty and I don't know how can I get a help.
I am use a TeliaSonera Homerun at work and in town. TeliaSonera is the most important Incumbent telecom and internet operator in the Nordics, mainly in Sweden and Finland. I suppose the WiFi to work with their repair regardless of how the certificates are sign. At residence the wifi device (an ADSL access device from TeliaSonera) uses WPA2 and I'm not concerned in how it's signed.
I give the impression to be having the difficulty as well. My Certificate has SHA-1 with RSA Encryption as the signature algorithm. Is that the similar as the SH1 you reference? If so, I'm still having the issue for a different reason.
Yes, while I changed the radius server certificate from MD5 signed to SHA-1 signed the network started to work. Maybe you contain a different problem...
The means of WPA2 Enterprise network using with PEAP (MSCHAPv2), similar difficulty, do not work any longer (whereas iOS 4 did it fine). Look like Apple requirements to fix this immediately, how can we transfer this information to Apple Development?
I am having the same subject matter. For me I have to reconfigure wpa enterprise on my school's mschap-v2 every time I wish for to make use of it. This is enormously frustrating since it used to reconnect just fine on iOS 4.
I am having the same issue, we use freeradius to authenticate wireless users. IOS 4.X users work without issue. If I delete the profile on an IOS 5.X device and add it back it works fine for that instance, once they disconnect they are not able to reconnect. I have changed the self signed cert to use SHA-1. Has anyone found a fix/workaround?
- set a static IP number on the iPod/iphone
- set the static IP also on the router (a Netgear RP614)
=> avoid DHCP for the iPod/iphone.

Fashion Week Spring 2011: BCBG, Rag & Bone, Jill Stuart, Nicole Miller, Lacoste
NEW YORK (AP) — Here's a round-up of the first couple of days of Fashion Week in New York.
Enough with the tough-girl or buttoned-up stuff: The Rag & Bone woman is ready for an adventure.
You have to hope, though, that when she's skydiving or Bungee-jumping, she'll pull the right ripcord and not have her parachute pants fall down. Don't worry, these aren't the too-baggy '80s parachutes — they were inspired by the real deal, with rugged zippers, straps and lace-up details.
But for the yin yang that is emerging as a must-have, designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville offered crafty macrame looks, in colorful prints and luxe camel, that perhaps would be the souvenirs for their globe-trotting muse.
The palette was rooted in white, though, another popular trend during the second day of previews.
There were touches of glamour here, too — good for a girl's night life. A gauze, mint-colored shirt was paired with silver trousers, and a sand-colored suede top was worn with a silver lame skirt that had an opposites-attract white eyelet hemline.
Max Azria did some spring cleaning on his runway.
With no bells and whistles, the lingering look of the spring collection came from the little bit of flounce that trailed behind the models in loose white- and sand-colored minidresses and jumpsuits.
The silhouettes were airy and ethereal. Who couldn't use a little linen dress with a bit of embroidery that could be the key piece of a weekend-getaway wardrobe?
The one potential stumbling block for many of the pieces was the super-short length. Presumably, when they hit stores, that will be adjusted, but for the likes of model Coco Rocha and actress Ashlee Simpson — both in the front row — the fingertip-length dresses would be cute.
Easier for mere mortals might be the maxi dresses, including the white silk seersucker dress with a plunging V on both the front and back that opened the show.
What white gown?
Designer Jason Wu will forever be linked — and surely thankful — to Michelle Obama for the white, one-shoulder gown he designed for the inaugural balls. But fast-forward almost two years, and Wu is a fashion force in his own right, with a stylish spring collection, new lines of handbags and shoes, a beauty collaboration (CND nail polish) and his own logo: an owl.
In a walk-up space in SoHo with a fancy curved blue runway that mimicked a stream that had "bridges" over it, the models were dressed mostly in elegant sheaths, feminine blouses and pleated trousers. Wu showed his lighter side, too: He mixed '80s-style bold stripes on knit pullovers with a floral chiffon draped skirt, and a floral oxford shirt unexpectedly complemented a petal-covered, gray-and-black skirt.
One lime-colored dress with a petal bustier might have gone too far on the whimsical side. Put it this way, one can't imagine Mrs. Obama in it.
In his notes, Wu explained his choice of the owl, which he dubbed Miss Wu. It's one of his favorite animals, both familiar and playful, he said. "Wu … Wuuu."
Get it?
Jill Stuart plans on starting next spring with a clean slate. The new look she debuted was a drastic shift from the goth-slash-Stevie Nicks-inspired styles of seasons past.
Stuart turned out a collection of ladylike-yet-youthful pieces. Her feminine, dreamy muse was still there, but she's done some growing up.
The white, ivory and sandy shades forwarded the optimism that has emerged in this round of seasonal previews for retailers, editors and stylists — and so did the peek-a-boo sheers (of particular note was a white-tipped, sheer-black '50s-style party dress), shifts and shorts suits. And Stuart offered some chic spring outerwear, including a navy evening cape, and the trend-right tuxedo and satiny high-neck blouses.
Apparently, Stuart is a woman with many fans from the world of reality TV. Kim and Kourtney Kardashian had seats in the front row, setting off a frenzy, and Tinsley Mortimer and "The City" stars took their places nearby.
Nicole Miller went for an elegant, layered look.
Thin fabrics were used in a subdued palette ranging from ivory to gray to black.
An ivory jacket was worn over a long khaki silk georgette blouse and a satin chiffon dress. A pair of black shorts were cut just above the knee, giving them a very city chic look.
But there were also long flowy gowns. A chiffon dress had a prism print on it, while a jacket had cutout shoulders revealing the skin.
Vivienne Tam looked east for inspiration for her spring 2011 collection, a line she dubbed "the new silk road."
The collection was heavy on lace and patchwork in a slouchy, loose style that gave off a modern bohemian vibe.
Tam's clothes were fit for a global traveler — the cotton lace patchwork minidresses and jackets that opened the show would have been as at home in a Parisian market as on the Silk Road.
In notes left for editors, stylists and retailers gathered for New York Fashion Week, Tam dedicated the show to the people who survived devastating floods this summer in China and Pakistan.
Lacoste turned to its tennis-design past, outfitting models in a modern take on decades-old tennis pants. The high-waisted pants were baggy in the thigh and tapered at the ankle.
"I was thinking of always this 1930s, 20s tennis look of Rene Lacoste, with pleated flannel white pants, tennis pants … and making it contemporary," designer Christophe Lemaire said.
Lemaire's show, his final one for the brand, featured boxy, geometric, clean shapes with a lot of white, cream, orange, tan, red and black. He also used different textures like net, cotton and nylon.

My Huge Jewelry Organizer
I love chunky, junky jewelry, and I'm always looking for a way to put them out on display as they are too beautiful to be hidden away in a drawer. I have made a smaller version of this padded jewelry display before, but since my collection has grown, I was looking for something bigger with more impact. Luckily, I already had all the materials on hand, and it only took me 30 minutes to complete this project. Mosey on over to my blog Pretty Neat Organizer for instructions.

The Vampire Diaries
Taylor Kinney and Cameron Diaz Share Steamy Kiss on Set of New Movie (PHOTO)
Former Vampire Diaries hunk Taylor Kinney (Mason Lockwood) was recently snapped locking lips with a very famous blonde — but it wasn't his uber-famous girlfriend, Lady Gaga.
On June 5, Taylor and Cameron were spotted kissing in a passionate embrace. But don't get up in arms just yet, Little Monsters! Taylor Kinney and Cameron Diaz have been filming scenes together for their latest movie, The Other Woman, which is currently filming on location in New York. Directed by Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook), the flick also stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Leslie Mann, Nicki Minaj, and Kate Upton.
Last we heard, Taylor and Lady Gaga have been going strong, with her friends even giving the dashing actor the seal of approval. He's also been caring for his superstar love after she had to cancel the rest of her Born This Way Ball tour due to surgery for a torn hip muscle.
The pair are also rumored to be getting married this summer. If Lady Gaga's recovery goes as planned and Taylor's movie wraps soon, we hope to hear some wedding bells in the near future!

Comments about Under Armour ArmourBite Mouth Piece:
This mouth piece could save you hundreds of dollars. My wife had jaw issues and had a mouth piece to wear overnight. The cost was $1,750 made by a mouth surgeon. Luckily our insurance covered it. The Under Armour piece feels and works better than the one made by my doctor. Try this before spending thousands on custom made retainers for jaw issues.

Big Scene party last week with the rilly fun New Dark Overlords. Free booze and food at Bound'ry, all put together at the last minute. The new face of Dark Overlords--not just organized and efficient and plugged-in, but boozy, chatty and hungry too!
The downstairs bar at Bound'ry features an ingenious refrigerated panel set into the bar itself. It creates a frost, and if you set your drink there, it keeps the last sip as as bracingly cold as the first.
True I don't get out much, but seriously, this invention is brilliant. No more hot half-beers. No more sweaty wine glasses and tepid wine. And if you lay your face on it, it leaves a face-shaped print. Dark Overlords, you guys are nuts!

Ulysses killed the giant Cyclops when he rescued the children and his son Telemachus. But the ancient Gods of Olympus are angry and threaten a terrible revenge... "''-->--Opening narration'''''Ulysses 31''''' (French: '''''Ulysse 31'''''; Japanese: 宇宙伝説ユリシーズ31, '''''"Space Legend Ulysses 31"''''') is an anime series co-produced by [[Creator/TMSEntertainment Tokyo Movie Shinsha]] studios and Creator/DiCEntertainment[[note]]with further animation work outsourced to Creator/NakamuraProductions and Creator/WangFilmProductions and backgrounds by Creator/StudioJack, all uncredited[[/note]]. As the name implies, it is based on Creator/{{Homer}}'s ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' and heavily borrows plot elements from it, as well as various plot elements and characters from other famous [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek myths]].In the 31st century, spaceship commander Ulysses flies home from the Trojan War. On the way back to Earth, he rescues his son Telemachus and two young Zotrians (Yumi and Numinor in Japanese; Themis and Numios in French) from a HumanSacrifice and destroys the {{Cyclops}}, angering Poseidon and the other gods who rule the universe of Olympus, from which it came. Zeus curses Ulysses by dragging Ulysses' ship, the Odyssey, through into Olympus, putting his crew and Numinor/Numios in suspended animation, and erasing the ship's memory files that contain Earth's location. Ulysses will now have to wander throughout unknown galaxies in the Olympus and face various threats and dangerous traps set by the gods until he finds the realm of Hades, at which point his crew will be revived and he will be allowed to travel back to Earth.He is accompanied in his quest by his teenage son Telemachus; Yumi/Themis in French, a blue-skinned alien little girl with [[PsychicPowers telepathic powers]]; and a small toy robot named Nono.The series is an unusual product of international collaboration, that is still right now rather unique in its quality (there was a two-week delay for episode production, instead of the standard one-week; the French team was almost entirely made of professional illustrators, which forced the Japanese animation team to actually simplify the graphics, but also gave them enough inspiration to go much farther than what they were used to). A second season was planned but ultimately cancelled.The ''Odyssey'' was originally planned to be animated by computer, but the single wireframe model generated was still too complex to render for the machines of the times. So, the only computer animation left is the opening credits.-----!!''Ulysses 31'' provides examples of the following tropes:* AcePilot: Ulysses* AIIsACrapshoot: The malevolent A.I. Cortex.* AllMythsAreTrue: And they're happening again, ''[[{{Recycled IN SPACE}} in space]]''.* {{Ambadassador}}: Ulysses is implied to have been ambassador or peace treaty-maker during the Trojan War, yet he never hesitates to face down the assorted monsters the gods throw in his path.* AnimalEyes: Zodrians have cat-like slanted eyes with a vertical slit for a pupil.* AttackReflector: In the first episode, Ulysses finds out that the parabolic antenna carried by Nono can reflect back the Cyclops' EyeBeam, and orders Nono to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard reflect the beam back into the Cyclops' eye, destroying it in the process]].* BadassBeard: Ulysses* BadassNormal: Ulysses. Especially considering he's basically going up against the gods themselves completely alone except for two children and a small robot.* BalefulPolymorph: Circe turns Ulysses' crew, Yumi/Themis and Telemachus into zombified humanoid pig slaves.* {{Bishonen}}: Telemachus* CatGirl: The Sphinx's daughter has cat ears, CuteLittleFangs and the personality of a spoiled feline.* ClockPunk: Chronos' realm. * CoolShip: The ''Odyssey'', and Ulysses' various small ships. * CoolSword: Ulysses' lightsaber (blatantly inspired by ''StarWars''). The hilt can be used as a blaster gun.* CosmicEntity: The gods of Olympus, of course. And some of Ulysses' enemies of the week are more or less this.* CosmicPlaything: A very literal example.* [[CrapsackWorld Crapsack Universe]] / DeathWorld: The Olympus is full of shipwrecks, empty giant cities and desolate worlds where the gods or other entities enjoy tempting and tormenting unlucky humans endlessly.* CrystalSpiresAndTogas* TheCutie: Yumi/Themis* CyberCyclops: For the obligatory blinding of the cyclops scene, he got revamped this way, in order to fit into the sci-fi setting. Also served by cultists who have put out their eyes and jammed a large crystal into the space between the sockets.* DerelictGraveyard: One that has both its own name ("The Graveyard of Wrecks and Hulks") ''and'' an infamous reputation.* {{Determinator}}: Ulysses. He's going up against the gods themselves with no help except for a computer, two preteens and a small robot. He'd kind of have to be.* EarthShatteringKaboom: The Cyclops' planet [[LoadBearingBoss explodes after its death]].* ElementalEmbodiment: Charybd (fire) and Scylla (ice). * {{Enthralling Siren}}s* EverybodyHatesHades: Mostly averted. Hades takes part to Ulysses' final trial in the last episode and his role is more or less faithful to his mythical one.* [[spoiler:EverybodyLives]]* EvilLaugh: Zeus does a mild one sometimes.* ExpositoryThemeTune: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ4c1X5ene8&feature=related Ulysses, no-one else can do the things you dooooo!!]]'' To French ears, the dub heard at the beginning is hilariously LargeHam. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxlNw-vz7l8 Compare with the original version]].* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Many episodes offer a map of Olympus or a shortcut back to Earth to Ulysses, only to have it snatched away by the end.* TheFettered: Ulysses* FollowTheLeader: In the 90's Marvel Comics had a team called the Pantheon, and rather noticeably it had a member named Ulysses whose powers were having an energy sword and shield.* GenreBlindness: Ulysses and everyone else haven't wised up to the fact that they are reliving Homer's epic in a SF context, despite meeting the original Ulysses at one point (near the very end of the series). 31st century Ulysses does remark the gods treating the both of them rather similarly, however since the future cast gets a reboot to the beginning of the episode, he can't remember it.** Most episodes are based on Ancient Greece myths, however only half of them do allude to ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' -- and those that do, due to AdaptationDistillation, only bear a vague resemblance to the original. This actually appears very well when the cast is sent to the past, as although similar-looking and a good warrior, 31st century Ulysses is far from being as eager for revenge as his ancestor. Let's not forget that Odysseus was more well-known for his trickery than his courage in battle (though the guy was hailed as one of the best warriors of his time, he was also known to avoid direct confrontation whenever he could help it and/or didn't feel like bathing in the blood of his enemies).* GhostCity: Hades' kingdom is a literal example.* AGodAmI: Circe wants to achieve godhood through omniscience.* GodIsEvil: The gods persecute Ulysses in particularly petty and underhanded ways. This is normal for Myth/ClassicalMythology, which is practically defined by its {{Jerkass God}}s, but the gods of ''Ulysses 31'' manage to be even crueller.** Punishing Ulysses for slaying the Cyclops here is arguably worse than in the original Odyssey, because here it's not Poseidon's son but a robot he created, and which is being used by a bunch of lunatics to [[PoweredByAForsakenChild drain the lives of children so they can see]], as it implies that either Poseidon didn't care what they were using it for... ''or actually created it for that purpose!''** The episode "Flowers of Fear" features killer robo-plants that can hide themselves away perfectly when dormant, but react to the presence of life by growing into huge monstrous plants that seek to blast the living creature with lasers. The gods sowed these things across the entirety of a planet devoted solely to medicine... because they were too good at curing sick people for the gods' liking (Mind you, they were so good at curing sick people they could cure ''death'').* GoodIsNotDumb: Ulysses* Myth/GreekMythology: A SpaceOpera take on it.* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Telemachus is made of this trope.* {{Hellevator}} / SpaceElevator: In the kingdom of Hades.* HeroProtagonist: Ulysses* TheHomewardJourney* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame / DeadlyGame** The episode "Guardian of the Cosmic Winds". Aeolus, King of the Cosmic Winds, kidnaps Ulysses to provide entertainment for his daughter's birthday party.** The episode "The Magician in Black," too. A powerful wizard breaks the gods' curse over Ulysses's crew...but as payment demands to hunt the three best among them.* IdealHero: Ulysses, definitely.* IdenticalGrandson: Played with. 31st century Ulysses and original Ulysses (and both Telemachus) are confused for each other, but their loved ones can tell the difference fairly easily.* ImpossibleTask* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Ulysses* JetPack: Ulysses' UtilityBelt.* KillerRobot: In the episode "Trapped Between Fire and Ice".* KillSat: Cerberus. A satellite that guards the entrance of Hades' kingdom and destroys the ships of the living who dare to approach with a trident-shaped beam.* LaserBlade: Ulysses's weapon is a laser gun that doubles as a lightsaber.* {{Leitmotif}}: The haunting [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQaknWwIunc theme of the gods]], among others.* ALoadOfBull: The Minotaur in "Lost in the Labyrinth".* LooksLikeJesus: Ulysses. Justified in that in this version, Ulysses is a Messianic figure. * LongNeck: Nono is able to stretch his neck to great lengths.* LotusEaterMachine: In, get this, "The Lotus Eaters". Although, with this being an adaptation of the original legend, it doesn't quite fit the usual definition.* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Ulysses' [[DeflectorShield energy shield]]. * MagicMirror / TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: The Sphinx is in possession of a mirror showing the true personality of people reflected in it.

Video: Trooper's dash cam captures deadly wrong-way crash
Troopers received the call of a wrong-way driver a mere two minutes before they arrived at the fatal crash scene
By PoliceOne Staff
ALLEGAN COUNTY, Mich. — A newly released video captured a deadly wrong-way crash on a state trooper's dash cam.
According to WMMT, the April 15 head-on collision occurred when 29-year-old Jeremy Smeltzer sped in the wrong direction on US-131. His truck crashed into 21-year-old Jaryd Ford's vehicle, killing him.
Michigan State Police told WMMT that troopers received the call a mere two minutes before they arrived at the fatal crash scene.
"You can see he puts on the brakes, and then turning, trying to stop the vehicle so it doesn't run into someone," said F.Lt. Draves, according to the report.
Ford was killed on impact. His passenger was trapped inside the vehicle with two broken legs as the car caught fire.
Troopers extracted the passenger from the vehicle and transported her to a hospital, where she was treated for non-life threatening injuries, WZZM 13 reported. The passenger was the only survivor — Smeltzer died while in transit to the hospital.
Police are waiting on toxicology reports and have yet to determine an exact speed for the drivers, according to WMMT.

This cheesecake recipe is tops. It came out really really good. Everyone raved about it.
I don't know what i did wrong with this cheesecake...but mines kind of sunk....and did not taste so creamy...the topping.. the cornstarch got like little balls and would not dissolve i had a very hard time with it, i had to use a collander to drain it.
This is your basic cheesecake. I used raspberries instead of strawberries. I also made the cafe au lait cheesecake and the flavors were exceptional.

I majored in psych, so the first thing that popped into my head was that it's some sort of dissociation? There are a couple of disorders that can cause that type of feeling, but if it's not actually causing you distress or interfering with your life, then they wouldn't apply to you.
Do you not identify with having a body in general, or is that you have a mental image of yourself that doesn't match what you actually look like?

There's a phrase from systems engineering that applies here, the principal of least astonishment. When an abstraction fails, a well-designed one will (hopefully) fail in predictable ways. It's when an abstraction fails and it fails in an unexpected way that we have evidence of a leaky abstraction. Unfortunately, I don't think this kind of behavior is avoidable, although it is the case that tracing down the roots of such failures and then refactoring the stuff at those roots will generally lead to a better separation of concerns. The problem is, in software, we generally never take the time to do that refactoring, and so we occasionally continue to be astonished at the most inopportune times.

New science lesson is game changer
In a lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography last week, a crew of multi-eyed monster scientists flew around "Seismic City," helping install sensors to record aftershocks of a big quake.
The cartoon monsters were avatars for real-life Scripps seismologist Debi Kilb and her team of computer programmers and graduate students, who aim to introduce kids to the field of seismology through fun and video games.
"How do we put curiosity back into science?" Kilb, a nationally recognized earthquake expert, asked in a community lecture in December. "I think one way is through video games. Ninety-four percent of 7- to 17-year-olds play video games. If they're that invested in that technology, we need to leverage that."
Kilb is not alone. The National Science Foundation funds educational gaming applications, the White House Office of Science and Technology has tasked a policy analyst with exploring academic gaming, and commercial game manufacturers are tackling markets for academic and corporate training.
"There's a significant amount going on globally, as it relates to using gaming systems or methodologies to improve student achievement," said Shawn Gross, director of technology and innovation for the University of San Diego's Mobile Technology Learning Center.
The catch is creating games exciting enough to capture students' attention, and informative enough to convey academic content.
"If you can get a student to that level, where they're so sucked in and engaged, and their entertainment senses are so tapped, that they don't even realize that their education senses are involved, that's the Holy Grail," Gross said.
Kilb's team took up that quest at Scripps as part of a summer internship program.
With funding including a $234,000, two-year grant from the National Science Foundation, her team of interns, a cartoonist and programmer designed the Quake Catcher Network game, which dispatches seismological assistants to monitor a virtual quake.
Using the hands-free Xbox Kinect device, players complete a series of mini-games in order to install seismic sensors and earn points, while learning about earth science and quake safety.
They're guided by a squad of neon-colored cartoon scientists, sporting three to six eyes, and hands growing from their heads, which Kilb called "zany" although she admitted that "some people think the characters are creepy."
An earlier Scripps game, Deep-sea Extreme Environment Pilot, or DEEP, simulates marine exploration on the Xbox device, with players earning points for the number of research samples they collect, and the exotic undersea creatures they photograph.
The game designers are expanding and fine-tuning the graphics, text and game features in response to testing by local kids. They hope to add footage from director James Cameron's expedition to the Mariana Trench to the DEEP game and enlist teen actors from a local high school for voice-overs.
Guiding a new player through the DEEP game, computer programmer Daniel Rohrlick offered a tour of the virtual environment.
"See that shimmer?" he asked "That's what happens when the cold water hits hot water, and it was really, really hard to program in. So enjoy!"
As the player neared a scorching thermal vent to take rock samples, Rohrlick warned of the hazards.
"It's so hot, it will melt you, so you have to get in and out before you burn and die," he cautioned, though admitting that he still needs to program the "burn and die" part into the game.
Those details can help students visualize topics that are tough to study in conventional science labs — such as earthquakes and underwater ecosystems, said Hayden Katherine, director of the School of Education at Cal State San Marcos, and a specialist in educational technology.
"A video game would make something come alive, so you could see what the outcome of an earthquake is, or how the waves travel," she said.

Shooting B/W with the SX50
I haven't tried this but per the manual you can shoot B/W with some setting changes. This breeds the question......Will this image be better than a B/W image derived by editing a color image? I know I could simply try it and see but am just curious, plus an answer by you will save me some time.smile

BobandBill you are amazing!!!
I have ruled Riley out of the story completely, unless I choose for him to make a cameo appearence or whatever. Anyway I have read alot of things about how the trainer got their starter Pokemon, and instead of the whole normal proffesor gives you the pokemon, I have another idea.
So the main character has had a Shinx for some time now (a few years maybe), and they have become close friends already, and completely trust one another. But the main character (I am thinking of calling Vox. What do you think??) has never really wanted to battle for gym badges or the elite four. He has battled the odd trainer and his Shinx is now a Luxio.
So the journey starts when Proffesor Rowan and Lucas are out in the field doing some research or something. Then they are attacked by distraught wild Starly (the reason for them being distraught will be explained later), and Lucas (who has only made a cameo appearence in the anime) fights with his very young Magby (nicknamed Mag), which puts up a good fight until the multiple Starly begin to use Quick Attack simultaneously, when Vox jumps into battle with his Luxio, and they fight off the Starly, who fly away scared.
That is what I have so far, and the battle is the first appearence of thus far named Vox. Then Rowan wants him to do stuff, gives him a Turtwig to help aid him, and sends him off on his journey!
What do you think??

Spilling the Secrets of War; United: Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin at Yalta in 1945
Byline: JOHN CROSSLAND
MASTERS AND COMMANDERS by Andrew Roberts (Allen Lane, ?25)
HE WAS an amanuensis to the titans of 20th-century history at the key moments they were making it.
He should have burnt his verbatim notes at the end of each day's top-secret deliberations, and the fact that he kept his own copies could have led to his prosecution under the Official Secrets Act.
We are fortunate then that Laurence 'Thrushy' Burgis a Cabinet Office secretary who had been the platonic lover of Viscount Esher, a key member of the Committee of Imperial Defence disregarded the Civil Service code, in the knowledge, as he said, 'that to sit at the Cabinet table at No. 10 with Churchill in the chair was something worth living for'.
And doubly fortunate that Andrew Roberts discovered the notes in the Churchill Archive at Cambridge, forming, together with the Cabinet Secretary Norman Brook's verbatim reports of Cabinet meetings (released only last year at the National Archives), a rich lode from which the author has crafted an elegant and masterly fresh interpretation of the grand strategy of World War II.
Roberts' pen portraits, with their wealth of amusing and often acerbic anecdotes, reveal the evolution of that strategy by the master statesmen, Churchill and Roosevelt meeting after risky voyages or flights through enemy-dominated seas and airspace and its implementation by their commanders, General George Marshall and Field Marshal Alan Brooke.
The famous special relationship that developed between Churchill and Roosevelt survived the stresses and strains inevitable in such a wide-ranging conflict with so much at stake.
But, as the author shrewdly puts it: 'When their countries' interests required Roosevelt and Churchill to be friends, they genuinely became so; when they needed to clash, they no less genuinely did that too.
' Yet unity of action was too great a prize to be jeopardised by lack of charm, especially from two of the most naturally engaging politicians of their era.' M ARSHALL and Brooke could not afford such a luxury when on their decisions rested the fate of thousands of men and the success or failure of an assault on some bastion of Hitler's Festung Europa [Fortress Europe].
Marshall was essentially an organisation man, responsible for the deployment of the powerful American juggernaut, and like his subordinate Eisenhower a soft-spoken diplomat.
But he was also stubborn to a degree, and yoked in tandem with the ferociously egocentric Ulsterman Brooke there could be some spectacular rows. …
