Infections in Education...
Okay, that is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek title... I just started doing tech support work in a public school. I know about hand washing and using sanitizer but anyone have any thoughts about additional vaccinations beyond TDP and the annual flu shot? [more inside]
Display issues on my laptop
My new laptop works perfectly except for the screen. At boot, the contrast is almost grey. On certain colors/wavelengths(?), there seem to be tiny pixels gyrating, almost like snow on old-fashioned TVs, but much smaller. It's nonetheless distracting. What settings do I change? [more inside]
Tech-savvy people: Please help me purchase a new laptop!
My Macbook died on me a little while back, and I need a new laptop ASAP. I was thinking about a new Macbook Air, but I want to wait until the Intel Broadwell chips come out since the last Macbook Air update was pretty minimal. So, I've been looking at Windows machines, but am bad at scouting out deals. Please help me find a quality deal for a PC laptop that isn't under-powered but also won't break the bank. Specifics of desired laptop inside. [more inside]

I would like to buy a laptop from Costco. I need help.
So long story short, my macbook's screen cracked out of warranty and I don't want to fork up the money to fix it. I am planning on nabbing a laptop from Costco, but their selection is... sparse, to say the least. Help me nab the best one! [more inside]

Surely backpack technology has progressed alongside the laptop?
I'm looking for a men's backpack or messenger bag that exists at some magic intersection of lightweight and strong/durable. This is for daily commuting, often by foot, in New York City. My flashy new devices are impossibly light, and I'm looking for a bag that won't add unnecessary bulk when I carry some or all of them with me. [more inside]
What is going on with my laptop screen?

Does Windows 8 suck?
I need a new laptop for school/writing/scientific programming/mefiting. I will be spending a lot of time on buses so I need it to be light. I've always had a PC but may switch to a Mac since I heard that Windows 8 sucks. Does it? [more inside]
Can I use these things as external monitors?
I now have two PC laptops that are in the state of "it sounds like it's working but the screen is dead." I tried the take out the battery, hold down the power button trick, and the reboot and hit the F4/5/8 key on both to no avail. The next step in troubleshooting always seems to be connecting it to an external monitor. [more inside]
Looking for a New 17" Laptop Suggestion

External DVD drive/player that works with both laptop and TV?
I am looking for an external, portable DVD drive that plugs into a TV (via USB would be most convenient) and functions like a standard DVD player, while also connecting to a laptop to play CDs/install software. I can only envisage using the drive to watch DVDs on my TV, rip CDs and install software, so the ability to write to disk is not important. [more inside]
Laptop Blues.
Yet another laptop question. I only need a laptop for surfing the web, downloading, watching DVDs and streaming Netflix for around $500. Unfortunately, I don't know much about laptops. I do know that I want a terabyte hard drive and I don't care about touch screen. I found this and this both from Toshiba, both very similar. Will I be happy with either of them? Will Windows 8.1 piss me off? I am also open to other suggestions.
Can laptops run hotter or cooler depending on outlet?
Hi. I notice my laptop runs hotter at home than at another location. Might it be that outlets or electricity cause variation? [more inside]

Laptop battery replacement: worrywart edition
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Z470, and the battery is pretty shot. I've been unable to find a replacement battery for this model through Lenovo's own site. I also can't seem to find an exact match for the one I have through third party selling. Current battery: labeled Li-ion 20, model # L09S6Y02. Closest match I found online, which claims that it's compatible with my laptop (but I could find no actual evidence): Li-ion 00, model #L08S6Y02. Put my mind at ease, Mefites: is this new battery compatible with my laptop? (And if I should return it, where should I get a battery, because searching Amazon for this kind of thing has been annoying.)
E-ink tablet wirelessly mirrors laptop?
My computer is inside my apartment; my e-ink tablet is in the backyard; both are on the same wireless network. The tablet both (1) mirrors everything on the computer and (2) serves as a wireless keyboard and mouse, sending my touch commands to the computer. How close to this setup am I able to come right now?

Another backpack question...
I'm looking for a backpack that would carry a 13" MacBook Air. Difficulties: Needs to be rain-proof, stylish (I prefer leather or canvas finishes, with simple patterns), durable, comfortable, small, and light (I'm 5'2" on a good day). [more inside]
USB stopped working on asus laptop
The usb just stopped working on my Asus zenbook UX32VD laptop, running windows 8.1. Device manager shows no problems with usb (or any devices), and I have tried plugging in several different usb devices (my mouse, flash drives) to check. The built-in touchpad still works. Can anyone suggest how I might fix it, or what has happened? Thanks. [more inside]
VMWare: When using VPN my keyboard pretends I'm crazy

Ex-XP? What should I do with my old XP running laptop?
I have an old laptop running XP. The laptop actually dates from the Vista era, but I chose to have XP installed given the lousy rep that Vista had. I have seen this question. I have a newer laptop that I use for most of my word processing and internetting needs. I can retire the old laptop, but it still works so I'd rather not ditch it. Assuming I am not going to attempt to run XP on anything connected to the outside world, what can I do with this old laptop? [more inside]
choosing between 2 laptops - more RAM or better processor?
I'm choosing between 2 laptops, identical except for processor & RAM. I'm unlikely to buy more RAM, and thinking the one with more RAM will be generally better than the one with the better processor, all else being equal. I tend to keep lots of stuff running, and max out RAM on my current

Calling all cable experts
Tomorrow I'm hosting a presentation where the speaker would like to hook up a laptop to two decent-sized external speakers. All that's lacking is a cable. I'm hoping to run out to the electronics store tomorrow morning to buy a cable (or two?) to do this, but am completely baffled as to what to get. I plan to call the store in the morning, but simply because I am nervous about the presentation and would like to sleep peacefully tonight, can anyone here recommend exactly what kind of cables I should get?

My laptop's touch screen is glitchy; should I replace it?
I have a first-generation Lenovo Yoga 13" laptop that's about a year and a half old. The touch screen has an essentially permanent glitch in it. Is this likely something caused by damage to the screen itself, that would go away if the screen was replaced, and if so, what do I need to make the replacement? [more inside]

Should I buy a non-touch-screen laptop?
I've found a brand-new, well reviewed Dell laptop that I am confident will do the basic family things I need done (email, web browsing, streaming video, photo stuff, tracking finances, etc.). With my credit card points, I can get it for $268. My husband is worried that non-touch-screen laptops will be obsolete really soon, and thinks maybe we should pay more for a touch screen. I am seeing articles saying things like "in 2 years, 1/4 of all laptops will have touch screens," which makes me think mouse/touchpad and keyboard will still be viable even 5 years from now. What do you guys think?
First-time PC laptop... halp!
So: junior has saved up to buy his own computer. Since we're, by habit, a Mac family since forever, but he's opting for a PC, I'm finding the thicket of options a little overwhelming. The main issue is to reconcile requirements for gaming, durability (and potential futureablility) and price. (Also: we're in Europe, so some models/options don't seem as readily available as in the US.) The other main piece of information I'm missing is the reliability - in terms of build quality and service - of PC brands. Is there a good place to find some guidance - or is it really a lot easier than it seems? [more inside]
Help with finding an inexpensive laptop
I need a laptop for travel for about 3-4 weeks a year, and up to this point I have always had an old one I can tote around, I recently bought a series of older macbooks through craigslist that did the job for a little while, but both, for various reasons are no longer working and can't be fixed without a lot of cost. I am hesitant to try for another craiglist computer, because of my recent experiences, but I also don't want to lay out the money for a new macbook because of how infrequently it will be used, it just seems, well, wasteful both monetarily and also letting a new computer collect dust. It needs to be able to run Adobe CS 5 or 6, it can either be a mac or pc, though ideally a mac. If no other options present themselves, I would most likely look at Apple refurbished. But are there any other sources that I am overlooking?
Where can I buy a Lenovo X220-compatible charger in DC today?
Right now I'm at the airport, waiting to fly into DC, and just realized I forgot my charger. I'll see what I can pick up at my layover, but I would like to a) not fry my laptop and b) continue to use my laptop. I would like to buy the charger after checking into my hotel. I will not have a car. Relevant facts: 1) The X220 is the small Lenovo Thinkpad (not touchscreen.) 2) Staying in Dupont Circle 3) No car

Devil Computer, Stop Updating Yourself
This morning I was working on my computer, and stopped to take a break for lunch. I left my computer on--it generally goes to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity. When I returned from lunch, my computer had unexpectedly shut down and had to be rebooted. Once it restarted, I noticed that it had updated several programs that have been prompting me for updates, like iTunes and Firefox. (I had purposefully not been updating them.) My computer requires permission from me to update programs like this, and it has never updated programs without that permission. Any thoughts as to what might have happened this time? [more inside]
Help me find a great COTS graphics/multimedia PC
I'm a graphics and multimedia artist working for the federal government who's always used Macs. It's again time for me to get a new system (laptop, please) and for the first time in my career I feel the need to explore my PC options (Apple has apparently abandoned its professional users). Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start looking. My new system needs to be commercially available from a vendor that can do business with the federal government. Building my own system is not an option. I perform a full range of creative functions including graphic design, video editing, photography and webcast hosting, so I need plenty of graphics power and fast processing. I don't, however, need a huge local storage capacity since I work off of our LAN. Where do I start looking? Any recommendations on models and/or features?
Is the 13" MacBook Air the right laptop for me?
Needing to get a new portable, because the battery in my workhorse laptop is borked, I ordered a refurbished 13" MacBook Pro - which I am typing on at the moment. So far, it seems fine for what I need, but I was wondering whether the hive mind could think of a better solution. Generic snowflake detail inside. [more inside]
Need help diagnosing and fixing laptop

Skipping Bluetooth Audio
I just bought a Lenovo T440s laptop, and the audio is skipping when streaming it to my bluetooth speakers, no matter what distance I sit away.

Thin, light, and 1080p laptop
I'd like a thin and light 1080p laptop. It does not need to be powerful, but it does need to be cheap. I'd like to spend about $300, but it must be under $500. The perfect machine would be something like a chromebook, but with a higher res screen than the ones I'm aware of. The resolution requirement trumps the thin and light requirements. [more inside]
Would a Chromebook be right for us?
Between my wife and I, I'm the "computer guy," while she basically uses her computer to write, engage in social media, and update a couple of blogs with all that this entails (light photo editing, etc.). We have to replace her aging Dell laptop. Would a Chromebook be a good option? [more inside]
iPad vs 2-in-1 laptop/tablet
My wife wants to buy a laptop that also converts to a tablet. She needs a good typing laptop for work (15 inch screen, nice keyboard) but she also dreams of using the tablet portion for sketching (like they do on Project Runway). She is not an artist; she just wants to draw a bit. I am concerned that the laptop/tablet combo will be less than ideal. I have heard that these tablets are not as sensitive as an ipad, and I am wondering what software she would use that would be better or as cheap as a $10 app. I think she should get a cheap laptop along with a used iPad. Does anyone have any firsthand experience one way or another? [more inside]
Mac-less in Seattle (but hopefully not for long)
I know everyone asks the "which mac?!" question constantly, but it's a bit of a moving target, isn't it? I am looking to replace my 2008 MacBook (aluminum). I know that the recommendation is to buy either the Retina MBP, or the MBAir. But would I be shooting myself in the foot if I bought a non-Retina MBP? Caveat: Can't really wait months and months for the next and newest--this is my work computer and I can't afford to have it crap out without a replacement. [more inside]
Toshiba Satellite: good deal?
I have a nephew who is thinking of buying a Toshiba Satellite L50.A01Q: 2.40GHz Intel® Core™ i7-4700U Quad Core Processor 15.6" HD Widescreen with TN LED Backlit Display 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD 2GB nVIDIA GeForce GT 740M Graphics. He is 18 and heading off to university, and wants it mainly for typical laptop stuff with some light gaming (skyrim, minecraft). It's $NZ 1280 with a 20% discount, so normally $1600 or so. The deal only lasts one day. My feelings are he could get something as good for cheaper, given that the slick processor isn't gonna be all that useful to him. Is that sensible? Or is it actually an ok deal?
What are these odd kinda-USB ports on my HP laptop?
I have an old HP Pavillion (I think) laptop. It has two standard USB ports, and then two others that are almost the same size as USB ports, but not quite, and any USB items I plug in do not get recognized by the computer. Anyone have any clue what they might be?
Laptop? Desktop? Tablet?!!!

Retroactively deducting a business expense?
I've recently started working on a couple of software projects that I hope will generate income in 2014. I'd like to form an LLC, but I'll probably end up doing that closer to completion since it's so expensive. Because my old laptop just wasn't up to snuff for development work anymore, I decided to purchase a new laptop a few weeks ago. Now I'm worried that I may have missed out on a sizable tax deduction. Assuming I can't take the laptop off my taxes in 2013 (no LLC, no revenue), is there any way I'll be able to deduct a purchase made in 2013 as a business expense in 2014?

Can I be an Instantaneous Stage and yet Persist Through Time?

An alternative to the standard endurance/perdurance accounts of persistence has recently been developed: the stage theory (Sider, T. Four-Dimensionalism: an Ontology of Persistence and Time. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2001; Hawley, K. How Things Persist. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2001). According to this theory, a persisting object is identical with an instantaneous stage (temporal part). On the basis of Leibniz's Law, I argue that stage theorists either have to deny the alleged identity (i.e., give up their central thesis) or hold that stages are both instantaneous and continuants. I subsequently show that, although stage theory is flexible enough to accommodate the latter claim, the cost for accommodating it is an excessive proliferation of persistence concepts.

Poor little critter.
This hawk wasn't looking so chipper, so I told somebody at Strybing Arboretum about it and he called the "raptor rescue" people.
And then they put this animal in a box to get it to "raptor rehab," someplace in San Mateo County.
I'm srsly, that's what they called it.

Well here's the news from last week:
"U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan today announced the recipients of the 2011 Sustainable Communities Grants, totaling nearly $96 million. Twenty-seven communities and organizations will receive Community Challenge grants and 29 regional areas will receive Regional Planning grants. The goal of HUD's Sustainable Communities grants is to help communities and regions improve their economic competitiveness by connecting housing with good jobs, quality schools and transportation."
Our San Francisco Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission scored $5,000,000 worth of these grants, so some feds dropped by to celebrate this afternoon.

"Take a trip down memory lane as a bygone era of seaside amusement comes to miniature life in this season's Conservatory of Flowers garden railway exhibition
November 18, 2011 – April 15, 2012
Step right up for a ride back in time as the Conservatory of Flowers presents an all new garden railway display celebrating the legendary Playland at the Beach and a bygone era of seaside amusement that was located on San Francisco's West End. In a dazzling display landscaped with hundreds of dwarf plants, model trains and trolleys wend their way past the famed Sutro Baths, zip around a replica of the Victorian-era Cliff House and whiz through a fantastic mini version of San Francisco's beloved Playland at the Beach.
Playland at the Conservatory, the conservatory's 4th Annual Garden Railway, is an entirely new layout that resurrects the heyday of San Francisco's west end, an area that flourished as a destination for fun and thrills after a new railroad built in 1884 made travel out to the ocean affordable. A dozen San Francisco landmarks, now mostly lost to time, are recreated in miniature and set in a landscape of hundreds of dwarf plants that bring the rocky cliffs and sandy shores of the area to life. Sutro Baths, the fantastical 7-pool swimming complex built in 1896 by eccentric mayor Adolph Sutro, nestles under Sutro's other attraction, the Cliff House, which he transformed in that same year into a 7-story Victorian chateau.
No doubt the recreated Playland at the Beach will be the star of the garden railway. Young and old alike will marvel at the sight of Playland's most famous attractions in miniature, all in swirling motion and bright with twinkling carnival lights, while the sounds of the arcade and even Laffing Sal's boisterous voice transport visitors right back to the midway. Wee rollercoaster cars climb the steep tracks of the Big Dipper, Playland's biggest thrill ride from the 1920s to the 1950s, while a mini Airplane Ride spins and spins in circles. Other attractions include the treacherous Diving Bell, the Fun House and Playland¹s famed food arcade where hungry revelers could grab an enchilada at the Hot House or a sweet at the Candy Factory.
As in past years, these replicas are all creatively crafted in miniature from recycled and repurposed materials. Playland's historic 1906 carousel was created from a discarded light fixture, a slide carousel and a record player. The individual cages of the Rock-O-Plane are made from old pencil sharpeners.
The exhibit also includes real memorabilia and photographs from Playland and beyond in a fascinating display that tells the story of San Francisco's lost ocean-front treasures. Original wool bathing suits from Sutro Baths, the toothpick amusement park made by San Quentin inmate Jack Harrington that was displayed in the museum at the Baths, a Dodger bumper car, an original Playland sign and more provide visitors with an engaging way to experience and learn about San Francisco's past. Period arcade games offer a hands-on history lesson with a chance to get your future from Zoltar, step into a vintage 1960s photo booth or goof around in the fun house mirrors, while a special scavenger hunt spinning wheel is a great, interactive way for young children to explore the exhibit. Portions of the popular documentary "Remembering Playland" will also be showing in the gallery."
All right, see you there!
Now, I guess that they still have free admission hours still, but the amount of time is about 90% less than what they had before.
That's part of the reason why the Tea Garden is FOR TOURISTS ONLY these days.
And oh, admission is $7 a head nowadays. (What? They have a website now? Well, imagine that. They didn't a few years back…)

"The Free Farm is an urban farm founded in January 2010, by a constellation of non-profit organizations in San Francisco. We are located on a 1/3 acre lot on the corner of Gough and Eddy Streets on a parcel loaned to us by St. Paulus Lutheran Church. In our first year we have built a farm, grown and given away over 2,500 pounds of fresh organic produce, convened gardening and urban homesteading workshops, and hosted community, school, and religious groups. Come by on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10am-2pm or the first Sunday of the month from 10am – noon, to visit the farm or lend a hand."

Hi all,
Ever since I changed to WordPress from Blogger in June last year, a lot of the WordPress functions have never worked. This includes:
* Pingbacks and trackbacks - I can receive from others but my blog doesn't send them out,
* Scheduled posts always miss their schedules - I've had to install a plugin so that they work,
* Google XML sitemaps plugin doesn't update automatically when I publish new posts and I have to do it manually,
* WordPress backup plugin doesn't save or email my scheduled backup unless I do it manually.
* There's more but those are the ones I can think of right now.
I have tried downloading and fresh installing the files with no luck. Automatic plugin updates and notifications do work so I'm always able to update WordPress and plugins from within the WordPress dashboard successfully.
I'm not sure whether all the problems listed above may be linked or not but I'm beginning to think that this might now be a web hosting issue? *shrug*
Also, I use MarEdit to markup/create my posts which uses xmlrpc to connect and no trouble with publishing through that.
I don't understand cron or anything like that. Is there anything I can do to resolve these issues if it isn't my web hosting or anything to test that theory? I don't want to shell out on other web hosting then realise that the problems still persist on a new host.
Thanks in advance.

I am very new to Java (and programming in general, my previous experience is with ActionScript 2.0 and some simple JavaScript), and I am working my way slowly and methodically through Java: A Beginner's Guide by Herbert Schildt. It is an incredible book.
For one thing, I finally understand more-or-less what bitwise operators (which I first encountered in ActionScript 2.0) do, and that they are more efficient than other methods for certain sums.
My question is, is it more efficient to use a method that uses, say, a shift right, to perform all your divisions/2 (or divisions/even) for you in a large program with many calculations (in this case, a sprawling RPG), or is it more efficient to simply use standard mathematical operations because the compiler will optimise it all for you?
Or, am I asking the wrong question entirely?

Hi, guys,
I love the look of your SM buttons on Publicize and I really don't want to change to another widget for them. But, after sending you a question yesterday about the fact that the Facebook buttons don't pick up all of my posts, now I see that when they do, they don't even have the featured image as an option.
I'm sad but I think I have to look elsewhere for this function.

Maracana stadium "was opened in 1950 to host the FIFA World Cup", at which time it was the largest stadium in the world. I have heard the stadium referred to as "the spiritual home of Brazilian football" a few times, and this year it will once again host the World Cup Final. Why is Brazil's top stadium in Rio, rather than in São Paulo, when the latter is a far larger city (not that Rio is small)?
In 1950 - when the stadium was built - Rio de Janeiro was the Brazilian capital city. That explain why the stadium was not built in Sao Paulo

I am impressed with everything this leader stands and like this hire more and more with every article I read. I think Barry sees a lot of himself in his new hire. Goodness gracious--a UW defense that confuses the other side and is aggressive? I've been waiting 20 years for this!! Can't wait until next year. This makes paying out of state tuition to Wisconsin for my Cleveland son for his graduate year at Wisconsin actually bearable. Ultimate dream for me--Barry leads the Badgers to a win over a #6 ranked team in Pasadena and then Andersen goes into the Horseshoe and beats his old mentor. Go BADGERS!Hide replies
I only wish we were going to Columbus a little later on in the season. They've had an undefeated season under Meyer, and our guys will still be pretty new with Andersen's.
Liking this hire better every day. Of course all new coaches sound good and we'll see but saying all the right things. Defensive pressure all the time? Make that work with our Nebraska game offense and we really have something.
I really enjoyed Coach A stating that coaching is over-rated and it all starts with the kids you recruit, how you treat them.
We will see about the first part (I am sensing that rating will actually be pretty good here) but it is his focus on the players that foreshadows a man who will impress recruits, enjoys recruiting, and will attract top shelf recruits.
This guy seems energetic, outgoing, focused, and is coming to WI for a destination job.
People might take this for granted but what impressed me is how rarely Anderson used the word "I." At the college level, the coach is practically a god at most of the bigger programs and they rarely have humility. I realize there's "coachspeak" and "press speak" to keep people happy but this struck me as a genuine guy who is really going to care about the people on his staff and the kids he's recruiting as 17-year-olds to become successful men.
I know all football recruits get special treatment but the substantiated rumors at Madison among the general student body were getting pretty egregious about some of the abuse of academic standards among football players. I think behind the scenes a coach like Bielma would tolerate that as long as it's not an NCAA violation while I get the feeling Anderson will be truly disappointed if kids are cheating for their grades irregardless of his salary.
I really hope Anderson is sincere about developing these youngsters into successful people off the field. I believe he will.Hide replies
I hope you're not a UW grad. "Irregardless" is not a word
From Merriam-Webster: Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose.
Andersen comes across as an impressive individual. Whether that translates into on-field performance only time will tell. I suspect it will.
I think Gary Andersen became the head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers on September 15, 2012. True, no contract was signed that day. No press conference was announced. The job wasn't even available at that time.
But 79,322 people convinced him this was the place for him.
I don't think the allure of a Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium can be overstated. It truly is an event. I would dare to say that it should be on every person's 'bucket list'.
I know this because the same thing happened to me, albeit on a much smaller scale, on October 30th, 1982. I was in my freshmen year of college but had chosen to go to one of the WSUC schools, instead of Madison. Not sure why at the time. But my roomate and I decided to road trip to Madison to visit a friend and hang out for the weekend. Not only was it Halloween weekend, but the Badgers were playing Northwestern that Saturday.
It was one of the best weekends of my life. The build up to the game, the game itself, and the aftermath left a lasting impression on me. I said many times that weekend, "Why am I not going to school here?" And it wasn't just the 'fun' if you will, it was the buzz. You could feel a pulse at Madison.
I transferred a couple of semesters later. Probably the best decision of my life.
I've been to USC games, UCLA games, SDSU games, and they don't even come close to a Badger game. Not even close. It's hard to explain. It's almost magical. And that afternoon in September of this year had to have an impression on Gary Andersen.
Hail to thee our alma mater!Hide replies
I grewup in Madison, on Randall Avenueacross from the athletic fields. My mother was on the faculty and my dad worked part-time for the athletic department. I saw my first UW home game in 1939. I've told countless people that you could freeze me, and if I awoke in Madison on a football Saturday, I would sense that immediately, and I believe that.

Sprained knee won't keep Ward out

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward is getting tired of the questions regarding his playing status for the Super Bowl.For the second time in four days, Ward reiterated that he will be ready to play in Super Bowl XLIII Feb. 1 against the Arizona Cardinals despite a sprained right knee.

612 Tasting Notes
Maple!! I love maple and this is a great mix of maple and pecan. I once oversteeped and got waaaay more pecan than I wanted. However when brewed correctly it is perfectly balanced. This is my favourite oolong.
I love getting the three packs of these at Costco for the price of one latte at Starbucks :D My favourite way to have this is cold with ice. Makes a nice creamy cup and it's less calories than Starbucks too! but that's because Starbucks uses a syrup at their stores instead of the concentrate.
I had this cold brewed yesterday and I loved it! I've never tried their pink lemonade and I don't think I ever will because this is perfect for that. So in the summer this will be perfect as it has 0 cal and it fills my lemonade craving perfectly!
Flavors: Berries, Lemon Zest
The Tulsi is an interesting taste with this oolong. I like it! It's nice spicey and warming for the -30C day out. I have to say out of the box so far this and the rooibos are my favourite. Then again I still have a few to try :D

I get asked all the time about Shaklee. What is it, why did I choose it, etc…
That's a hard question to sum up in just a short post, but basically, Shaklee is the Number 1 Natural Nutrition Company in the US. They've been around for almost 60 years now, and were essentially green before green was more than a color! They have 4 different major product lines: healthy home, healthy weight, healthy beauty, and healthy nutrition. I love them all. I've been using them in my home for over 3 years, and gradually over the past 3 years I have made our home completely non-toxic with Shaklee – from the cleaners, to our shampoos & soaps, to our daily supplements, and to our meal replacement smoothees!
Maybe you've heard of them from Oprah, or from the fact that the cleaners are the only thing used in the White House for the past 8 years, either way, if you'd like more information, you can find it here:
But today, I wanted to share our amazing March Specials before the month is up!!!
For anyone who is new to Shaklee, if you place a qualifying order (which is easy, and we can discuss) you'll receive a FREE lifetime membership (which saves you 15-25% off for life) AND one of my favorite cans of protein smoothee mix!
Here are a couple of options:
As we gear up for Spring Cleaning (full post coming tomorrow), the first step is to gather your arsenal! Shaklee provides the safest, greenest, most effective cleaning products out there! You can see how I clean my whole house (including laundry and dishes) with JUST the products shows above here. For anyone who purchases a kit before the 31st, you'll receive the incentives above PLUS a free Shaklee Scour Off (which is the only Get Clean product not included in the kit). BUY HERE | Cost Comparison Sheet Here | Usage Guide Here
My second favorite package would be the Lean & Healthy Kit – it contains ALL of your monthly nutrients needed for a healthier, more energetic month! Currently, I am doing the full turnaround to lose my weight (30 pounds down, woot woot), but I also use the Vitalizer that's in the L&H Package, so to save some money once all of the weight is gone, I will be switching to the Lean & Healthy Kit! BUY HERE | More Info
I also highly recommend the Enfuselle Skincare Line! Enfuselle is like nutrition therapy for your skin!! It has made a WORLD of difference for me! Combined with clean eating, I can go without foundation totally now! I love this system! It is of course all natural, and simply amazing! Every night is like my own little luxury spa escape when I apply it! BUY HERE | Learn More
And last, but definitely one of the most beneficial is the 5 Day Mini Detox! You can find out all of my results and details here. I LOVE this, and am actually doing the detox again this week!
Shaklee has tons (over 300) other products to fill your needs as well. From Children's Health to Athletes, and way way more. Browse all the products here:
Also, I have to mention that if you already love the products, or are looking for a way to get healthier AND / OR be able to add to your income, I would LOVE to help you! I am currently looking for a few more motivated women who are serious about creating a healthier, wealthier home for their family! I am interviewing for the next week, so if you'd like to talk, email me!
This month only, you can start your own business and join Project Dream Intl: the fastest growing team in Shaklee for only $299. EMAIL ME for more info!
Woo!!! So many exciting things!! Be sure to check back tomorrow for Spring Cleaning!! Woohoo!

Department of Conservation staff have been told further job
losses are possible as it enters another round of
In March, staff are to receive a restructuring document
outlining the detail of the changes, Doc spokesman Rory
Newsam said yesterday.
Just before Christmas, staff were told the department did not
yet know the extent of any job losses.
''We will be looking at all areas of our delivery operations
to see what efficiencies we can find before we consider staff
or location changes - but we can't rule out job losses.
''The development of the new business model for conservation
delivery may also result in changes to roles and the
structure of operations teams.''
Doc plans to partner more with business, private landowners,
the community, iwi and local government.
''If we are to work through partnerships, we need to
reorganise our business around that new ambition and new way
of working. The state of our natural environment makes that
A recruitment freeze on operations staff introduced last
month would continue until the restructuring concluded in
July. Since 2011, about 120 Doc jobs have been lost.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Perhaps Mr Newsam could explain the state of our natural
environment and why it takes far fewer actual DOC workers to
help maintain it.

Most Helpful
This was a total comfort food experience. The blend of flavors--onion, peppers, and squash--was awesome. Add the soft texture and taste of the cornbread and you have a truly great side dish or main dish. Yum Yum!! Thanks Nurse Di. Delightful!
What a great side dish. The only change I made was to double the salt and pepper amounts for my family's preference. The vegetables and cornbread went together well to make a soft, tender flavorful dressing. Thanks for sharing this.
I made this for our family Thanksgiving dinner. It was a very big hit. I made the cornbread the night before which made things less hectic. I think the cream soup made the dressing very moist. A very tasty side dish that went well with out turkey and cranberry sauce. Thanks Nurse Di.

Brazilian metallers Hibria have checked in with the following update about recruiting a new bass player:
"Benhur Lima is the newest member of Hibria! Since the invitation to the audition, Benhur told us how excited he was with the possibility of joining Hibria, a band he already knew and respected since the first time he watched a concert many years ago. He learned the songs very fast and, in the audition, despite all of the expectable anxiety, he played even the most difficult parts very well. Besides being a talented and versatile bass player, he also will reinforce the backing vocals on live performances, and showed something that is fundamental for us: attitude. Immediately, we have great plans for the new CD and we trust Benhur will overcome all the new challenges. Welcome aboard!"
Benhur also commented: "It has been a great surprise when I got a call from the band inviting me to an audition. Of course I accepted immediately! I got a little worried, but damn excited! It is not a secret to anyone who has ever talked to me about Hibria it was the first band that really impressed me when I saw them live, not just musically but also because of their metal attitude on stage. When I met the guys, I realized that besides being excellent musicians, they are really cool! The vibe was the best and playing with them was wild! A true privilege, for real! It is a great honor to become part of one of the best Heavy Metal bands Brazil has ever produced, and I will do my best to be sooner than soon headbanging live with you guys!"
Hibria Parts Ways With Bassist
Brazil's Hibria has checked in with the following announcement about parting ways with their bassist:
"This is something we've never thought we would communicate our audience someday, but we regret to tell you our great friend Marco Panichi has left Hibria. Marco told the band he left the group to dedicate himself to his personal projects. Due to the great pride we have for our career path and for all we have accomplished together since the beginning of the band, we respect his decision. As friends, we know we can count on Marco as well as he knows he can count on us in the present and in the future. To those Who follow our music, be sure that the four of us have been working harder and harder to release a killer, intense and heavier third album by the end of 2010. See you soon!"
Marco Panichi also commented: " I'm writing to share I'm leaving the band on the following days after 17 years dedicated to playing bass-guitar and 14 as part of Hibria, in which I'm one of the founding fathers. After all this time it will be hard not being part of a band and feel your heat after launching a CD or playing in a concert. However, lately, I feel more attracted to produce bands than playing in one. I'm aiming to work with different bands and for that reason I started a partnership with Final Pro Music in Los Angeles to launch Brazilian bands in the USA. More...

Posted on 02/27/2011 3:05:46 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Rightwing candidates are better looking than their leftwing counterparts, something they benefit from during elections, according to a study conducted by Swedish and Finnish economists.
"One possible explanation is that people who are seen or consider themselves beautiful tend to be more anti-egalitarian and rightwing," Niclas Berggren, one of the three co-authors of the study, told AFP Wednesday.
The study compared election results from parliamentary and municipal elections held in Finland in 2003 and 2004 respectively with an online poll of non-Finns to determine how the 1,357 participating Finnish candidates ranked in terms of beauty.
More than 2,500 non-Finns were shown photographs of each candidate, with no indication of which side of the political spectrum they stood on, and were asked to rank them on a scale from one (very ugly) to five (very beautiful).
"We establish two main results. First, we find that the candidates on the right look better than the candidates on the left. Second, we find a greater effect of good looks, in terms of more votes for candidates on the right," the report states.
Berggren pointed out that "several studies have shown that good looks bring more votes, but we believe we're the first to analyse this in terms of political sides."
Explaining the findings, he said that globally, "the left perhaps traditionally has used a more rational approach.
The right meanwhile, "has been more conscious of the importance of looks," he said, pointing to the examples of Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin in the United States.
The study also shows that the "beauty premium" for garnering votes is more apparent in municipal elections than in a national vote.

Inner beauty finds its way to the surface; the same is true of inner ugly.
They needed a study to figure this out? Right wing posters have been pointing out the obvious differences for years.

Please no Helen Thomas graphics. I just finished dinner.
people who are seen or consider themselves beautiful tend to be more anti-egalitarian
In other words, they are elitists. Utter BS. Right wingers are not elitists. Left wingers are.
The right is better looking because honesty and virtue shows. The left is uglier because craven disregard for the rights of others is a visible form of dishonesty
How about Andrea Dworkin?
No I won't post it, just the thought should cause a dry heave.
The left is more rational? I think they'd better do another study before making an assertion like that.
And I know she isn't a candidate but some smart alack will stick her there with Hillary and I'll be Ralphin in my Buick directly.
I would vote "ugly" if they'd only balance the budget.
I wonder if this is also the case in the United States?
Yeah, that explains everything, you ugly maggot. Excuse me while I hurl.
You need to remove laura bush.She not rightwing as we have found out.
A superiority in looks and brains profits us nothing when we pick candidates like Juan McCain.
Just look at the angry, childish protesters in Madison, Bezerkley, immigration rallies, etc and there you have your answer. Ugly is as ugly does.
As a man with a hideous face and manner, there is no hiding it. It's an affliction that few find pity for. Waxman has power at least.
What a load of clap trap
*Don't hate me because I'm purty*
[people who are seen or consider themselves beautiful tend to be more anti-egalitarian and rightwing]
Any competant scientist would also conjecture that right-wingers have better lifestyles and therefore look better. But no taco here, they can't state the obvious.
The only way to make a turd look better is to kick some dirt over it.
However, does the author explain why actors, who usually are very attractive, are almost universally left wing? I think this is a case of displacement.
Besides, the author is obviously a Eurotrash left wing shill.
"Right-wing" posters, I knew it even when I was a young, stupid liberal. All I had to do was look at a photo of a young Don Rumsfeld and compare it to bow tie wearing Orville Redenbacher lookalike Paul Simon. back in the 60s.

After that, they looks are a reflection of their personality, attitudes and lifestyles.
I have found this to be true with acquaintances,also. My more conservative friends are simply better looking, and are healthier with less angst. They work hard and are generous in spirit and money. They are patriotic and care about the future of this country. Yes, they are good-looking physically and spiritually. The more liberal are usually always bitter about something, and it shows in their faces. They are always looking for a free ride and what's coming to THEM. The class envy that they feel is palpable....they hate anyone who has more than they do on any level. Classic liberal socialists. And, they vote down the line for the Democrats...Carter, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and Obama, etc.
I have no respect for them, and it borders on disgust for them when I think about how their votes have affected and will affect the well-being of my family in a negative way. Yes, they are ugly physically and spiritually.
I think it is simpler than that: they live and work in a world of make-beleive. Back in the days of Jimmy Steward, John Wayne, Walter Matthau, Audrie Hepburn and Ronald Reagan, Hollywood lived in the same world as the rest of us and, thus, their political views pretty much reflected the spectrum of public opinion from whence they ame.
I am the one that brought sexy back, so of course I'm good looking.
They needed a study for this? All they had to do was look around a DNC convention and then do the same at the RNC convention it's as plain as the noce on your face...if someone is ugly you can almost count on them being liberal.
This whole "study" is a politically motivated crock of sh*t. Do we have to guess what the author's political leanings are?
I think you're right, though. Leftists would be attracted to the world of make-believe. That's the only place where their ideas work.
I guess the researchers weren't aware of this study:
Considering she's been dead nearly 6 years that would be truly hideous.
My personal belief is that many liberals grew up as social misfits. They were the ugly, the homosexual, the dork, the unchosen. The physically attractive tend to find more acceptance in society and are therefore more desirous to promote the society that accepts them because they find little wrong with it. This, they become conservatives and Republicans.
The misfits hate the society and find solace only with like minds who tell them its possible to change nature so they will no longer be misfits. That's why unattractive people gravitate to the liberals and Democrats because they see in them hope for the revenge against society that they so crave. Of course, it's not a hard-and-fast rule. And there are good-looking sociopaths (Bill Clinton, John Edwards) that join up with the Left more to exploit them than to be one of them.
Boy, I missed a rousing chorus or "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" for that one. Did she ever hate men!
Molly Ivans, that witch tried to paint George W Bush as a closet homo in one hit-piece because he used the word "fabulous" too much for her taste.
maybe that is why they end up on Craigslist, with text message to the young pages in the House or tap the showes of a police office in a MN aiprot bathroom. Who gives hoot about their looks it matters how they vote and act...like adults - with morals.
Then how the hell did I become a conservative? I was a pimply dork in high school who got picked on. No hit with the girls, either. I didn't have that much fun in college, either. I did not like American society much, but to my credit, I did like the country.
Yes, I was a liberal, but as I read the Washington Times during a jobless period in my life, I became more conservative. I eventually joined Free Republic. And the various actions of government and liberals (and people in general) since only reaffirms my current, conservative/libertarian veiwpoint. I still have women problems, I'm overweight and still fighting acne, and sometimes, I despise all of humanity. Yet, I'm still conservative, respectful of individual rights, and willing to work on my problems.
Please explain people like me, Mr. Orange Hoof!
(Mabye I should throw away my Smiths CDs and start acting more positive.)
OK, I admit, I didn't read the "hard-and-fast" rule part, but still, without casting any doubt on your hypothesis, I must admit, I AM an exception to your rule at this point in time.
Furthermore, there must be a LOT of misfits and outcasts (an unrealistic idea to me) for Obamao to have won.
I read the article.
This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder why so many people worship God. You'd think He'd make unattractive people more gifted, better in bed, or whatever, to compensate for what was taken away from them by the genetic lottery.
This idea (beautiful = more intelligent) automatically puts GATTACA-like visions into my head.
People should not be worshipping God (or man, Heaven forbid). They should be worshipping the fact that the world can be a cold, cruel place, and learn to deal with that fact.
And that's my point. You fell in with the outcasts. But you matured and grew up. A lot of liberals do that because one day they realize how illogical and vapid they are raging against the machine and decide to embrace the right (and the Right).
So, there you are Mr. TSR. A reformed liberal. And probably a more content and wiser man than a lot of the liberal friends you left behind. Possibly better looking too.
LOL. Never seen her look better!
I've had a similar hypothesis although you articulate it better and put a slightly different twist on it. I've always felt that when the outcasts grow older, they view the successful conservatives as the people they resented when they were growing up and side politically with the group that will screw them over.
Most definitely.

From the Inside Flap
In 2010, more than 6 million contributors, many first-time donors and younger supporters, used their mobile phones to make $5 and $10 donations to Haiti relief charities. Surprisingly, the most compelling fundraising efforts were organized by individuals and newer, smaller groups, while larger institutions struggled under the weight of their own organizational structure. Developed especially for the nonprofit/social change/philanthropy/cause community, Shift & Reset shows you how to take advantage of rapidly changing technologies and the new communication ecosystem to create real, meaningful change in our connected society.
Addressing our most critical challenges, author Brian Reichrecognized for his expertise in cutting-edge media and technologyre-envisions how we support causes and addresses the serious issues facing our connected society. Reich stresses the need to reshape policies, build capacity, develop talent, improve marketing and promotionincluding storytelling, media relations, outreach and engagement, and advertisingand revisit our methods for fundraising, partnerships, and collaboration. Shift & Reset also lays out the bleak consequences of what happens when you don't rethink how you operate.
Featuring interviews with more than twenty-five experts, authors, and organizational leaders whose experiences and insights provide powerful evidence to support Reich's important calls to action, Shift & Reset also examines the many ways you can capitalize on social media to accomplish your nonprofit's mission as well as some recent success stories and failures, including:
Leading digital strategy and communications firm Blue State Digital developed a hugely popular online engagement hub for Obama's presidential bid where supporters donated, set up volunteer groups, posted blog entries, watched videos, and more
Debating whether to use Facebook and blogs to build enthusiasm for Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympic games, the organizers made the fatal decision not to use social media for fear of negative feedback from the community
Although Old Spice struck viral gold with their online video campaign, countless copycats failed because viral videos didn't influence their unique audiences
Greenpeace hired an aggressive NGO to develop hard-hitting ad campaigns and Twitter feeds targeting Unilever, Nestlé, and Burger King for buying palm oil from a company that destroys rainforests
Shaquille O'Neal leveraged the power of Twitter to attract sponsors and influence 3.5 million NBA fans to support the charities of his choice
Ready to achieve the impossible? Shift & Reset shows you how to overcome the huge barriers facing the cause/philanthropy community by strategically leveraging the unlimited potential of technology and social media in the digital age.
From the Back Cover
"Shift & Reset: Strategies for Addressing Serious Issues in a Connected Society offers an innovative, yet realistic approach to facing today's challenges in both the nonprofit and corporate world. Reich encourages us to get caught up in the whirlwind of new media and take advantage of all it is has to offer. He counsels us to embrace change and not be afraid of failure. The way we address serious issues in today's society is not working. Shift & Reset challenges us to go above and beyond, using communication through technology as our guiding force. As Reich bluntly, but admirably points out, 'Change is painful, and slow, sometimes messy, and always exhausting. But the benefits far outweigh the sacrifices in the end.'"
—MARK MCKINNON, Vice Chairman, Hill & Knowlton, Public Strategies; and President, Maverick Media
"Shift & Reset rises to the challenge of navigating the changing media landscape while also inspiring real and feasible change. A valuable resource for anyone trying to engage and connect with an audience in any way. I couldn't put it down."
