Overall Rating:
Customer Reviews
Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 5 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Editaur Good idea, disappointing quality I've owned this lunch box a year or two but didn't use it much because it doesn't hold much, especially when you include both thick-walled inserts. I read reviews elsewhere that said the top broke easily, and that just happened to me. I was trying to close the lid - not forcing it or doing it off-center - when one of the handles snapped at both points of connection. Close inspection shows both connection points are very, very small, so no wonder it broke. I guess I can still use it if I have a big rubber band to hold the lid closed and don't need a tight seal. February 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TLIN Wonderful! I love the different compartments for sauce or dips, wet and dry food. February 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by key188 convenient this lunch box makes my salad tastier. it's convenient to go around with and i like that it includes forks February 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by toomanyshoes Works well Lid fits tight. It doesn't hold a lot but for me that's good, it helps with portion control. I like having everything seperate but in one container. August 8, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Verified Reviewer Lunch box This is an extremely useful item. As one who takes leftovers with different reheating needs, I appreciate that this box allows easy separation. Also, it helps with portion control. July 14, 2011

We were able to create our save the dates, wedding invitations, thank you cards, and rehearsal dinner invites without any hassle. Roberta took total control in making sure we were pleased with each invitation. She helped with our fonts, centering, and we were able to see a preview before it went to print.

I wouldn't have an event without her and neither should you. Roberta is the best!!!!!!"
"Working with Roberta was fabulous. After picking two samples for my son's Bar Mitzvah invitation I choose one. When the company didn't originally offer what I wanted Roberta went out of her way for me to get it. It was easy and a great experience. Will definitely work with her for my next son's Bar mitzvah in 2015."

I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the lollipops- much bigger than I thought. Stickers easy to adhere to lollipop and great look.
Super Cute!!!!
By Jolly Bee Soap
from Ashland City, TN
I ordered these because I have a small soap business. I put my company name on these suckers and handed them out to the kids at a festival I do each year. The parents were thrilled, the kids were happy and so was I because they took with them a way to re-order by looking at the label on their sucker. They are super cute and were a big hit!!!!!! They arrived individually bubble wrapped...none broken. You do have to apply the labels yourself but this didn\'t bother me...just unexpected. btw...I received them very quickly, the quality was very nice and the price was even better. I am a new fan of Birthday In a Box!

Today, I am going to do webcast online on how to improve performance for SQL CE. Here are three articles which I am going to base my session.
Database Design and Performance (SQL Server Compact Edition)
Query Performance Tuning (SQL Server Compact Edition)
Optimizing Connectivity (SQL Server Compact Edition)
I found above articles very interesting and useful, and looking forward to your opinion on the same.
Reference: Pinal Dave (http://blog.SQLAuthority.com)
Excellent !! I enjoyed.
I just didn't understand "Under Parametrized query "
" If you must run several parameterized queries in interleaved manner, you can create several command objects, each caching the execution plan for a parameterized query. This way, you effectively avoid re-compilations for all of them."
from this link
Can anybody explain with complete and suitable example ?what is meant by "several command object" ?

New Business Delivers Tacos Via Unmanned Tacocopter!
This....this. What more can I say about a business that combines my love of tacos, unmanned drones, online ordering and GPS navigation? The Tacocopter is f****** brilliant. Feeling peckish? Order on your phone, look to the sky, and go loco as a flying robot swoops down and delivers tacos right into your tech savvy hands. Right now it's only a start up business in San Francisco and the surrounding bay area, but word is if you're living on the east coast you can also get delivery from the Lobstercopter (the taco of the east). Taco's on demand. I think I can die happy now.
Right now the government is trying to put a stop to this epicness so visit their site here and show some love, and email your state rep and demand FREE TACOCOPTERS!

Koko is one of the world's most famous gorillas. She can follow simple conversation, and was even taught sign language in an attempt to understand just how human-like these big apes really are. Because she was never able to have a baby of her own, Koko fell in love with kittens, and one cat in particular that she called "All Ball." (because she looked like a little ball when she was curled up!) One day, All Ball was killed by a car, and Koko's teacher had to tell her the news.
The way Koko reacts in this video is almost exactly the way a human would react – it's both amazing and heartbreaking to watch! This just goes to show that even though animals can't communicate the way we do, they feel emotions and love in exactly the same way!

Now residential, the Bell had a reputation as a smugglers' pub.
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Bell's license was issued in 1853. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kevin Durant fined $25,000 for 'menacing gesture'
Thunder forward Kevin Durant has been fined $25,000 for making what the NBA deemed "a menacing gesture" during Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors, the league announced Friday.
The incident occurred with 1:36 remaining in the second quarter. Durant celebrated an authoritative fast break dunk by motioning to his throat horizontally, giving a pretend slicing effect before clasping his hands together.
"Just kill 'em and pray for 'em after the game," Durant explained after the game.
Durant initially appeared reluctant to discuss the uncharacteristic celebration when asked, and prompted to provide further explanation of its origin Durant attempted to elaborate by making it clear that he meant no disrespect.
"Somebody gave it to me. I do it when I dunk," he said. "It's nothing against the team I'm playing against. But it's just come out with a mindset and, you know, be friends after the game."
Though the Thunder led by as many as 22 points before cruising to a 19-point win, Durant refused, even figuratively, to agree that his team "killed" the Warriors.
"I wouldn't say we killed them," Durant said. "When I say killed them, I mean our attitude was, like, straight focused, laser focused. Ready to play every possession. Locked in on every possession on both ends.
"We knew what we were playing for and we knew that every game is, like I said, important. So we was locked in from the beginning. That's what we need to do."
Durant scored a game-high 31 points with 10 rebounds and eight assists in the win.
The victory moved the Thunder a half-game ahead of San Antonio for first place in the Western Conference while dropping the Warriors just a half-game ahead of Houston for sixth place. Golden State potentially could fall to the eighth seed and meet the Thunder in a first-round matchup.
"They played playoff basketball and we didn't," said Warriors coach Mark Jackson. "That was a team that's chasing the No. 1 seed and was trying to send a message, 'Just in case I see you at some point down the road.'"

As reported by CBS Los Angeles, his wife was found dead with gunshot wounds on her body in their Hyde Park neighborhood home on Monday, May 19 at 8:30 P.M. Jace was questioned in connection to the incident, but he was not arrested.
Officer Sara Faden additionally told L.A. Times that detectives were investigating whether the incident was a homicide or an accidental shooting. "It looks to have started as a domestic-related incident," Faden said.
A TMZ report suggests that Jace himself called 911 after the shooting. He reportedly told the police, "I shot my wife."
Jace and his wife have been married for 10 years. He previously was married to Jennifer Bitterman. They separated in 2002.
Jace probably is mostly remembered for his roles on FX's "The Shield" and TNT's "Southland". He also made guest appearances on other shows such as "Burn Notice" and "The Mentalist". He played alongside Russell Crowe in "State of Play".

1998 Acura RL. Sit for 1 year had to have new key made, changed gas in tank and clean lines. Checked main fuels relay under dash board, it was good. Installed new gas pump in tank. Car gets gas through gas filter to the return line to tank, but when I remove the gas line going to throttle body no gas comes out. Gas pump pumps for 3 to 5 seconds like it is pressured up, and turns off. I'm lost what else would I check to see what is wrong with gas flow, gas filter under hood is good. Still no fire to plugs, and don't know what the deal is with the gas problem.

Caroline Flack says the glitter and sequins of Strictly aren't her usual style, but she's excited to be glamming up for the show's return on Sunday.
The 34-year-old TV presenter , best known for presenting ITV's The Xtra Factor, says she'd look weird if she didn't glam up with sequins for the dancing contest, and intends to embrace the look.
Speaking to Radio 1's Scott Mills who's also a contestant on this year's Strictly , Caroline said: "The idea of doing it is exciting, I mean yesterday we had our first day where I saw Scott and you saw everyone and you met everyone who's taking part and suddenly the reality kicked in and you're like, 'Hold on a minute!'
"It was like the first day of school."
Who is Caroline Flack? Strictly Come Dancing 2014 contestant profile
How are you feeling?
I am going through mixed emotions! I am getting myself geared up by watching old performances and that is making me really excited. But then when I have to go along and actually do things for the show I get really nervous, so I think that is a good mix. I feel balanced!
What made you sign up to Strictly?
I have always wanted to do the show and this year the time was right. Ever since I was a presenter on CBBC and used to see the Strictly judges walking around Television Centre I have wanted to be on the show.
Have you done any special preparation?
Me and my boyfriend have done a bit of practice in the kitchen but that really is about it. The only problem is that my boyfriend is the worst dancer I have ever seen in my entire life! Although to be fair he really does try hard though even if he does move like a mosquito, haha!
Are you competitive?
I don't know. I'm not sure. I did Dancing on Wheels but that was more of a documentary style programme but that was a completely different experience from Strictly Come Dancing. I'd probably say that I am not very competitive to be honest, maybe it's because I have a twin sister.
What are your thoughts on embracing the sequins/fake tan?
Being 'Strictlyfied' is the opposite to who I am normally, but on this show you definitely have to go with the flow. If you weren't wearing sequins you would look weird, so I am looking forward to embracing them!
Has anyone given you any tips or hints which you think might come in useful this series?
I don't know anyone well enough to ask them so I definitely need to make friends with the ex-contestants and get some pointers from them!
Do you have any favourite moments from previous series?
I loved Sophie Ellis Bextor's Charleston from last year so that was a highlight for me. Sophie was brilliant because she remained true to herself. And Vanessa Feltz's Waltz made me cry.
Who will be supporting you this series? Family? Other celebs?
I'm not inviting my family and friends to the first show, I'll be far too nervous! They can come to the second show!
* Strictly Come Dancing returns on Sunday 7 September at 8pm on BBC One

Who needs to be at fashion week in New York when a bit of style has landed in Greenville. A new store opened its doors to customers Tuesday and there's good news for shoppers, prices are cheap.
Shabby Chic is kind of like a thrift store, people can drop off donations plus pick things up like clothes, jewelry, artwork, and furniture.
The store was opened by Guiding Lives Foundation, an organization that promotes awareness for people with mental health and substance abuse disorders. The foundation opened Shabby Chic to help raise funds to assist those types of people.
Jeremy Schwartz the Vice President of Guiding Lives Foundation tells WITN "100% of the proceeds, everything we make here, it's all going to the foundation and towards reaching out goals, it's an important cause in the community and we hope we can get some recognition and get some help."
Some residents that look to the foundation for help are so excited about the business venture they've already contributed to the store by donating artwork.
The store's located at 504 Dexter Street in Greenville and all donations are tax deductible.

God's Stewardship Program (5 of 5) by Jim Henry
This content is part of a series.God's Stewardship Program (5 of 5)
Series: How to Make the Most of Your Money
Jim Henry
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.
I want to let it be clearly understood that I don't preach on stewardship every Sunday. But I do believe that stewardship is as much a part of God's Word as prayer, salvation, discipleship, faith, love and all these things that we preach. Therefore, without apology, I simply want to state that I'm bringing a very important part of God's Word to God's people.
If you are not a Christian, this may not mean much to you, and I understand that. It may seem beyond anything in your experience. But I would also challenge you that if you're not yet saved but the Holy Spirit is dealing with you, to please understand what it means to follow Jesus Christ. To follow Jesus, means that He is Lord of all. He always made it clear that any man who followed Him must count the cost. Counting the cost means that you are letting Jesus Christ be Lord of all.
I like for everyone to understand that when you accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, we explain, the best we know how, some of the terms of discipleship.
I will of course also be speaking to Christians in this message. Some of you have not let Jesus be Lord of all, and I want to challenge your mind and heart with what God has to say about some principles that will bless your heart. In fact, I'm going to say that if you will take to heart what God has to say in His Word to you spiritually, next to your salvation, this may be one of the most important messages of your life. I say that without apology, and with all my heart, because I believe that a person's stewardship is basic to anything else God does through his life.
I have yet to find the person whom the Lord has His hand on--layman, woman, minister, professional or anyone else, that is right with God if every area of life if stewardship is not right. God cannot bless Lis and use us if our stewardship is not right. I'd like to challenge you right now to look at God's Stewardship Program, and then let the Holy Spirit guide and lead you to do what's right.
Some of these principles were taken from my good friend and teacher, Jack Taylor. Jack was in our church some time ago and God used him to bless us and speak to us. From that, many people took a new hold on their spiritual walk and stewardship. A layman challenged me some time ago to let the Lord put these principles to work in my own life and I thank God for that kind of layman, and I'd like to pass on some of those things to you. Let me say this: early in my Christian life I either did not hear this taught, I was not challenged, or I failed to listen properly. But I thank God because it has helped Jeanette and me to enter into some of the greatest experiences of our lives by faith, in th ...

I'm loving this new talent show BGTP – Britain's Got Talented Politicians.
In terms of mindless entertainment it's not quite in the league of camper-than-Christmas "Kevin Cruise", a star turn on that other talent show hosted by Simon Cowell.
Though Gordon Brown did remind me of Max the parrot who refused to eat forkfuls of his eccentric owner Irene's mashed potato for the delectation of the public.
''No, hate this, not playing. '' He really didn't want to be there did he? Not that you can blame him.
It wasn't so much a clash of the Titans but a tussle with the Toffs.
How many times can privately-educated Nick Clegg and David Cameron continue to try so painfully hard to connect with the "ordinary bloke"?
Really, really support the NHS. Tick. Armed Forces – love those brave boys. Tick. Proud to send their kids to state schools? Tick. But the irrefutable fact remains that in 2010 we have the leaders of two political parties both educated at £30,000 a year public schools.
If BGTP taught us anything it's that state schools must be cowering, timid institutions if they continue to allow these wealthy establishments to believe it their exclusive right to produce a ruling class.
So we learn Louis Theroux "fagged" for Lib Dem's great hope at Westminster School. His duties included having to wake Master Clegg in the mornings.
This would be around the time fresh-faced Cameron explored the playing fields of Eton.
What's utterly baffling is that despite his privileged and undeniably posh background, Clegg walked away from the leaders' first historical televised debate with more accolades than The Hurt Locker on Oscar night.
It can't be down to Lib Dem policies: Send immigrants to remote and uninhabited parts of Britain – didn't they once call that apartheid?
Dump Trident – great, in the midst of fresh conflict and terrorism. Join the Euro – marvellous, just as Germany tries to find a way out of this basket case.
Perhaps it's because of that classless, not quite identifiable accent? (Just a hint of Sheffield, where his constituency is, as he always reminds us.) Or is it all in the name? Clegg… it sounds solid, no-nonsense, dependable, reliable.
A "clegg" could be some fitting for the house or garden you find at an old-fashioned ironmongers.
("Went everywhere trying to buy a new clegg. John Lewis didn't have a clue what I was on about.
"Finally found one at Arkwright and Son's down the market.")
And let's not forget Norman Clegg going on…and on for ever in Last of The Summer Wine.
It's obvious, I suppose, that Clegg triumphed because he can spin in a way Brown or Cameron with their collective baggage never can.
Though he did wear a nice suit banishing, temporarily, my permanent image of Lib Dems as lentil-eating ditherers with a philosophy of seeing the best in everyone washed down with a nice cup of herbal tea.
The "Clegg phenomenon" sweeping the country reminds me of the rampant adulation of a Britain's Got Talent winner.
His wife even suggests giving up her job should her husband become PM – get her, measuring the curtains at No.10 already.
I hate to be the bad fairy at an extremely premature party but let me remind the Lib Dem leader of boy wonder George Sampson who danced off with the Britain's Got Talent prize a couple of years ago. He's working in Butlins these days. Makes you think.

I have never heard of them b4 untill it was being recommended to my friend. What's your opinion on them?
The higher end Zed series hardtails as well as the Razorback full suspension frames are well regarded, great value. I just scored a Razorback SL on ebay and let me tell you, this thing is the bomb. The frame is a work of art between the welds, gussets and the incorporation of the carbon seat/shock stays. Mine is pimped out with XTR and discs and weighs about 26lbs full suspension. K2 is a real sleeper bike company IMO. I have a road bike(Mod 4) and it is equipped well and also a great value.
K2's bike division has been around a long time (for MTB companies that is) and were pioneers in the full-suspension arena. They started out as ProFlex in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They marketted the first successful mass-produced full-suspension bike. ProFlex then purchased Noleen only later to be purchased as a whole by K2 in the late 1990s. While they've generally focused on the XC market, they have produced some pretty good FR and a couple of DH designs. Their bikes tend to behave on the more nimble side of handling... some might even call them twitchy but they are a blast to ride and they inspire speed. I agree that they're a sleeper company and very much underrated but I also think they're pretty innovative. They just need a better marketting department.

I have a K2 Beast & Flyin' Monkey.... Both DH racers. Both Killer bikes. Both have Magura Hydro's. I was actually planning on a 3rd new K2, but I chose a HARO Xtreme X2 from my LBS instead...
I'd buy another K2 in a second, if the $$$ was right.
Their new Lithium line is pretty impressive. The Tirade's are very good bikes for the money.
K2, definitely a sleeper company as someone else mentioned.
Kinda like Haro. Good bikes, great prices, not a lot of recognition.

Some of you may already know about it but I thought I'd mention The K2/ProFlex Rider's Group that has an invaluable amount of information specific to K2s and ProFlex bikes.

K2 does offer a disc brake "adapter" to retro-fit a post 2000 disc brake to their pre 2000 EVO frames. It costs about $45. I'm thinking about ordering one for my '99 Flyin' Monkey...
Many people make their own or use the Hammerhead adapter. Also, some people go for the ultimate solution and pop for the Brake Therapy floating disk conversion. I don't run discs because I find that my Vs work well enough for what I want to do but if I ever decide to make the switch, I'd go for the floating calipers.Originally Posted by Xtreme Biker

"Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send." -- Jon Postel, RFC1122
I often tell co-workers that I have a degree in Afro-Engineering because of some of the inventions I come up with, but when it comes to my bikes, I just hate the idea. I decided to buy a new bike rather than adapt one to the disc's system.
It's like keeping your 1994 PC, and upgrading it over & over & over. At some point I think it's better just to buy a new one....
Ok, so my friend finally bought the K-2 Attack 1.0, but the frame is way too big for mw, so I can't test ride it.
I went from a Zed to a Razorback. Love 'em. My g/f recently got a Zed 4.0- lighter than many bikes in it's class and a great price. Nice details, too, like kevlar cable housing. One big complaint I've heard is that many K2 bikes come with pedal cages instead of clipless. I wouldn't rule out a bike on that issue, though.
I find that to be a bonus and not an issue. I would rather K2 not cut corners in other areas and just supply the cheapest pedals. Most people would replace pedals anyways as they are generally a personal thing. Most bike shops offer around a 20% discount on accessories with purchase of a new bike and I would rather buy my pedals of preference rather than rely on some product manager to second-guess me. FWIW, my K2 OzM did come with K2 house-brand clipless pedals... they were PD-M737 knockoffs with a magnesium body and titanium spindles... essentially rebadged Wellgos but they were more than decent pedals. I only rode them a few months before switching to Time ATACs.Originally Posted by hanshananigan

Looking For A Wedding Planner Checklist
Before beginning an important business or action, one must have a plan or some sort of sketches that can help follow his or hers activity. This is the reason why wedding planners for example, are always prepared with all kinds of materials, books, checklists, worksheets etc. These make our life easier by organizing every detail and giving us enough time to spend on something else.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
If you are looking for a sample of wedding planner checklist, this article is going to try and facilitate your work by introducing some sites where you will find them and an example of a wedding planner checklist. The first one is www.weddingdetails.com, a site which displays complete and updated information about wedding coordination. The brides who enter this site will find not only examples of budget worksheets, planning calendar checklists or wedding day timetables, but also samples of invitations, shower ideas, decorations, how to choose the perfect wedding gown, planning management questions, rings or how to be beautiful on your wedding day.
You will also have the opportunity to speak directly with some brilliant coordinators that are ready to answer all your questions about traditions and culture (Lois Pearce), wedding attire (Sally Lorensen Conant), relationship advice (Paul Friedman) or financial issues (Taffy Wagner).
Another interesting site is www.realsimple.com, a place where you won't find advice only on weddings or marriage, but also tips about health, beauty, food and recipes, family, travels etc. When looking for a wedding planner checklist, the key elements which need to get your attention are represented by the organization of the engagement period. Usually, a U.S engagement lasts between 10 and 12 months. A wedding planner checklist will teach you exactly how to divide your time so that you can take care of everything. For example, in the period of 12 to 9 months, you start your documentation about weddings, decide over your budget, hire a coordinator, create a guest list and book an officiant.
Next, 7 months before the wedding, you should take care of the invitations, go shopping for wedding attire for everyone (brides, bridesmaids etc.), meet with vendors, elaborate a "wedding day timetable" (just to see how your day will flow) and choose your music, transportation etc.
The next 5 to 3 months are dedicated to finalizing the menus, the readings, buying the rings or deciding who will give toasts, while the last 2 months are for getting your marriage license, having a shower party, writing your vows and generally doing other arrangements.
And finally, one week before the wedding, you are left with small tasks like: picking up your dress, making last payments and packing for your honeymoon.
These are, mainly, the important things which need to be assessed when looking for a wedding planner checklist. As you can notice, these are very helpful, because they prevent the chaos from installing in your pre-wedding life. And believe me, this is the last thing you need when planning such a major event. So, don't waste your time with other things and start looking for a checklist that could organize your time properly.

It was designed by combining high-performance computing and synthetic polymer chemistry.
"Two related classes of materials have been discovered which possess a very distinctive range of properties that include high stiffness, solvent resistance, the ability to heal themselves once a crack is introduced, and can be used as a resin for filled composite materials to further bolster its strength," said the firm.
According to IBM's paper in Science – 'Recyclable, strong thermosets and organogels via paraformaldehyde condensation with diamines'
One class has been dubbed 'hemiaminal dynamic covalent networks' (HDCNs), formed by a reaction between paraformaldehyde and 4,4ʹ-oxydianiline (ODA).
After heating to drive off trapped solvent and re-arrange covalent bonds, these form stronger, but more brittle poly(hexahydrotriazine)s (PHTs) – the other new class of polymer.
Both are thermosetting polymers. HDCNs are flexible, and PHTs have high Young's moduli (up to ~14Gpascal (similar to bone), or 20GPa after reinforcement with carbon nanotubes).
This compares with 2-4GPa for nylon and 17GPa for glass-reinforced polyester.
Unlike most thermosetting plastics, both HDCNs and PHTs can be digested for recycling – using strong acid (PH<2) to recover bisaniline monomers.
However, both are resistant to weak acid, and any alkaline.
If poly(ethylene glycol) diamine monomers are used to form HDCNs, the result is elastic gels which incorporate the production solvent.
If these gels are cut, and touched back together, chemical bonds reformed to make a single object again within seconds – due to hydrogen-bonding in the hemiaminal polymer network.
These could be seen as adhesives or for mixing with other polymers to induce self-healing properties.
"We're now able to predict how molecules will respond to chemical reactions and build new polymer structures with significant guidance from computation that facilitates accelerated materials discovery," said IBM scientist James Hedrick. "This is unique to IBM and allows us to address the complex needs of advanced materials for applications in transportation, microelectronic or advanced manufacturing."
Common plastics are: polyesters (cloths and drink bottles), polyacrylics (paints), polyethylene (milk containers), polyolefins (food packaging), polystyrene (phased out from food packaging), structural polymers (epoxies, polyamides and polyimides) (cars and planes).

When connected to a pptp VPN resources on the local domain are
inconsistantly available. Previously with XP they were always available even
if connected to a VPN.
What has changed?
From win 7, I can print to a Lan printer shared on the server (2008)
Once connected to a remote VPN (windows 2003 pptp), the print que says
"Accessed Denied" when trying to print to the same printer.
With XP printing was still possible to the Lan even though connected to a VPN.
Mapped Drives:
Sometime they work, sometimes they don't. If I have a mapped drive to a
local file server once connected to the VPN I can't list the contents of
drive, or access any of the files.
Other times even with a VPN connected I can acess the files. If you access
the drive before opening the VPN this seems to help.
I thought it may be a DNS issue but I have added the server to my hosts
file. The host name resolves correctly even after an "ipconfig /flushdns".
Does windows 7 need to resolve service records on the local AD dns server
before passing on credentials? The order of accessing DNS servers is the
remote VPN DNS server first and then the local DNS server second. Is this why
I can always print to a local printer that I installed using its IP address,
whilst connected to a VPN, which then prompted me for credentials. I assume
the credentials were stored locally, making them always available no matter
what the order of DNS servers were.
Once connected to a VPN why can't Vista/Win7 always print/access local
Connected to the same VPNs XP could always access local recources.
Whats changed?

Cigarettes will carry grisly new warning labels - Yahoo! News
sounds like a good idea to help prevent younger people from smoking but no idea if it would affect older americans that have smoked for years
Honestly, I don't think pictures like that will prevent younger kids from smoking.
Kids do it because they're not allowed to, it makes them feel older, and most kids at that age have a "it can't happen to me" kind of attitude.

Agreed. The fact that cigarette taxes are a cash cow for the federal government also sends a mixed message. Yeah, these things kill you.......but man is it great for cash flow!

Being neither a Iphone, Android or Ipad user which tablet is better....Xoom (looking at wifi only) or Ipad 2.
I'm leaning towards the Xoom, since I don't care for the restrictions that S. Jobs has in this market.
Lisa from Massachusetts

Xooming right along...,
This review is from: MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tablet (10.1-Inch, 32GB, Wi-Fi) (Personal Computers)
Picked up the WiFi only version on Sunday. Went with WiFi only because I already have a DroidX and can use it as a WiFi hot spot cheaper than going with the 3G plan for the Xoom. I played with this and the iPad 2 side by side prior to deciding. iPad does somethings better and faster (switching screen orientation) and the Xoom does somethings better and faster. The advantage with the Xoom is having 2x the amount of RAM built in. So things like Google Maps keeps up better on the Xoom. I really like the browser on the Xoom better too, but that, like most of the rest of this, is personal preference.
The good:
- quality build
- great flexibility
- great camera's front and rear
- fully loaded WiFi only version (still has the GPS, gyro and even a barometer)
- Great graphics, nice display
- Not required to use iTunes to set it up and use it
The not so good:
- Screen is a fingerprint magnet, worse I have ever had.
- Not as easy to use out of the box as the iPad
- Not many aps for it yet
At the end of the day, if you use an iPhone and like it, you will like the iPad 2 better. If you use a good Android phone today and like it, you will like the Xoom much better. I spent Friday night and Saturday helping a friend set up their iPhone and the frustration over the lack of flexibility ultimately made my mind up for me. Once you get used to the flexibility you have with Android, you will get frustrated quickly with iOS.
Anyway, that is my opinion after using the Xoom for 1 full day...lol.

There is no which one is better. It's like a Mac or PC, you're just going to have to see which interface you like better, and which one offers more for you personally. (Keep in mind the android market is just now really starting to grow, Ipod's line has had more time to mature in this field. However, most popular programs on the Ipad, are on the Android.)
Make sure that if you do decide on Android, that you don't buy a cheap chinese tablet or an archos... Otherwise you'll just think android is a pos.

That is one of the reasons I went with the Xoom. You have more flexibility to control how it looks, performance is as good or better and, all things considered, it is cheaper. (Same price as the Wifi only iPad 2, but you get the GPS receiver, 2x the RAM, and a SD card slot for expansion). If you are not a fan of iOS, the Xoom offers a very good alternative.

xoom (ipad 2 owner too)
Ipad 2 is good but you need to jailbreak to get those fanboys love application but out of the box, you need to buy almost every good applications and it doesn't have notification like honeycomb, so you neeepd to get out from what you are doing before you will see other applications you have I called it half ass multi tasking.
If you can wait a bit, samsung galaxy tab 8.9 or 10.1 are sexy honeycomb tablet.

I just bought the WiFi only version and when I opened the box it had a little piece of paper in it that said that this version does not work with the phone WiFi hot spot. Have you tried it and does it actually work? I don't have a phone that can be a hot spot so I can't try it out for myself. I'd like to know if you had the same piece of paper in your box? Thanks!

I connected to the Internet, and naturally I used my two fingers to enlarge the content in browser just like what I did in ipad. Surprisingly, nothing happened.

Im stationed over in Iraq at the moment so I cant go to a store and try out Tablets to figure out which is better. I want to get one for the Wife's birthday,, Shes an Android cell phone owner, so Im assuming the Xoom would be better... How ever my question remains with the apps, Im hearing you must pay for most of the Ipad apps that are not already down loaded,, are the aps for Xoom just like normal android apps, some charge you to down load, and others are free?

Francisco's, Uh, Triumphant Return
TORONTO—Frank Francisco wants you to believe he didn't hear the boos from the fans who once cheered for him—"I'm deaf on the mound," he says.
But make no mistake: He heard them. He heard the frenzied Rogers Centre crowd cascade to a roar after he let two runners reach base in the ninth inning of a one-run game, too.
So at that moment, he reached back for something extra.
Francisco, the oft-maligned Mets closer, struck out three consecutive Blue Jays, emphatically slamming the door on a much-needed 6-5 Mets win Sunday to salvage the final game of the three-game series. While he wouldn't admit to hearing the boos, he couldn't deny that this one felt special.
Afterward, a reporter asked him how badly he wanted to stick it to his former team. Francisco just smiled. "Hey, we're on camera," he said.
It didn't come easy—for the Mets' bullpen, it practically never does. The unit deserves all the criticism it has received so far this season. Before Francisco's sudden turnaround, Sunday was starting to look pretty familiar.
Bobby Parnell, one of the few relievers actually pitching well of late, surrendered two eighth-inning runs, setting the stage for Francisco's tightrope act.
He walked Yunel Escobar to lead off the ninth and allowed a ground-ball single to Jose Bautista, putting the winning run on first. As the nearly 42,000 fans in attendance here cheered with anticipation, you could almost hear the grumbles back in New York.
But Francisco, who entered the day with an ugly 8.04 ERA, managed to settle down. He fanned Edwin Encarnacion, J.P. Arencibia and Eric Thames to earn his 10th save, pumping in 98 mile-per-hour fastballs that made catcher Rob Johnson go "Woah, man, where'd that come from?"
More important, Francisco impressed manager Terry Collins, who conceded that when Toronto put two runners on, he said, "Oh boy, let's see what happens here."
"I said, 'If you're ever going to show your true colors, now's the time'" Collins said.
The bullpen adventures at the end nearly spoiled a crucial return to form for starting pitcher Dillon Gee. In his first start since shaving his massive chin beard, Gee gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings to record the win.
Reserve outfielder Mike Baxter provided the offense, recording a single, double and triple by the fifth inning. He came up twice with a chance to hit for the cycle but grounded out and walked. "Obviously it crossed my mind," Baxter said of the cycle. "But I wasn't too focused on it."
Meanwhile, David Wright collected a key two-run double and heads to Pittsburgh with a batting average of .412.
Francisco made sure every Mets run ended up mattering, no matter how tumultuous his outing seemed at first. Despite the unfriendly welcome he faced in his return to Toronto, he spoke glowingly of his one season with Blue Jays.
Which raises this question: Why would Blue Jays fans boo Francisco, anyway?
"Because they loved me," he said. "And then I left."
