For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
It's time I come on here and give some pointers on some things. I been hearing a lot lately about chix getting caught up in their s***. It is very easy to be scandalous just as it is for a guy to be. All you have to do is KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
Myspace Facebook is a big factor in females getting caught up lately. Why are you on every dudes page commenting and posting comments saying hey baby and giving yourself away? If you need to be seen by the guy or need to say something to him, SEND IT IN A MESSAGE, NOT A COMMENT! You comment becaue you want other b****** to see, trust and believe, they aint worried about you and if they are he will lie about you. STOP b******* about NOT being in his top friends. You don't want public evidence that you are connected to this dude in some way. Just KNOW for yourself what it is between the two of you until you decide you wanna stop doing your dirt.
What a lot of yall don't know is that guys get on myspace and talk about what girl they are going to try to meet and bang. They all gather around the computer and click away from page to page and whose page do they come across? ... YOURS because you on everybodies page.
Text Messages - Some of you get carried away and reply all fast and have multiple messages going on at one time and accidentally send the wrong message to the wrong guy and now you look stupid. The key is to treat your pimping like a business and proof red before you send and make sure that it is the right dude. You can't afford to lose out over dumb mistakes like that.
Also, as much as you want to share information with people who you think are your friends, DON'T. They will put your business in the streets faster than Wendy Williams and will put you on blast behind your back and then you wonder how in the hell Joe and Mike found out you was f****** with Bob. Don't tell anybody your s***, the key is to DO YOU. Tell people very little about yourself unless you 100% trust them. People who don't know me personally don't know EVERYTHING about me, they think I'm just a rich girl who comes out to play here and there but they don't know what goes on after I leave the club.
Also, if you go out with a guy, don't show too much public affection to where someone could mistakes yall to be together. Try to act like friends in public and when you get home give him the business. So if anybody see you out, you can say, we are really cool, went to school together or he dates my friend she asked me to take him out or whatever good excuse you can come up with. Public affection is not good unless you are really trying to lock him and only him down.
Don't post pictures of every guy you meet on your page. It looks bad for business and the key is to keep them all in the dark about each other. Girls will be so quick to right click your picture and save and blast your ass on the internet connecting you with some wild story about you and the baller in your picture. Don't let other ballers know that you know a specific baller. They will take it and run with it.
*Now I will add, some ballers do know about me kmessing with other ballers but I'm quick to give them and ego boost and tell them what they wanna hear, "HE DON'T HAVE NOTHING ON YOU BABY." IF he hears this, he aint going to run back to this dude to compare notes. He know all he need to know and he'll keep it moving. Also you have to act more important than him and tell him " IF WHA T WE DO GETS OUT TO ANYBODY, I MEAN ANYBODY.. I'm cutting you off and I'm telling everything that you may not want to get out." This is a turn on for him because the fact that you want to hide it more than him will make him want to keep you around longer and he wont say a word in fear of losing you (THAT IS IF YOU PUT THE P**** POWER ON HIM)
So ladies, the key is to be secretive with people, don't tell them all our business, just some. I've told you guys a lot and I have named a few names, BUT THERE IS A LOT you still don't know about Cassandra! :)
That's all for now
~Sandra :)

Chunky Orange Marmalade Cookies RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
3.5 2 2
My mother had this recipe in her cookie collection and she and I began baking these when I was a young teen. There is no sugar among the ingredients, just the subtle taste of marmalade to add sweetness. It's a soft cookie with an interesting combination of orange and chocolate.
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- In a small bowl, cream the shortening, egg yolk and marmalade until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Yield: 2 dozen.
Editor's Note: This recipe uses marmalade for sweetener and does not need additional sugar.

"Good texture, overall tasted like a spice cookie. I'd cut the salt to 1/4 tsp bc it was overpowering. This cookie was lacking something. Without the chocolate chips it would have been inedible. Possibly some orange zest and a 1/4 cup sugar would have rounded out the flavor."
Reviewed Nov. 17, 2011
"These are so good. A quiet bite of flavors. My friends all wanted the recipe."

I always print in black and white, colored is expensive! I've never had a problem with cashiers accepting them and I've been couponing for several years now. 🙂

- 26 April 8, 2013 at 2:22 PM
Sorry Ro. When I click the blue link for the coupon it just sends me down here to the "related deals and comment section" of your site. Never had that happen before. It doesn't go to the DiGiorno site, but stays on the CouponPro page. (Hope this makes some sense).
- 29 April 22, 2013 at 6:39 PM
where would one look to find out the expiration date before printing? will they always be 1 month from the date of printing them?
- 31 July 24, 2013 at 11:05 AM
My printer went all crazy and wouldn't print any of the coupons… now it's telling me limit reached and I have nothing.
- 32 February 8, 2014 at 9:53 PM
that happens to me too and it makes me so mad.
- 33 August 6, 2013 at 12:06 PM
If copying were the worry….Your printer could also " copy" in color…so no logic there. I only use black ink to save on ink costs and have never had ANY problem from the color of the coupon. Some stores dont accept internet coupons. But most will if it is a MANUFACTOR coupon. Some coupons will let you print twice from circulars, they usually redirect your page to coupons.com or other such sites for printing. Good Luck luzmercado !!!!!!! Happy couponing !
- 34 September 7, 2013 at 12:34 PM
I have never had a problem with my black and white coupons, even when I have to do self checkout. It does not have the streaks and characteristics that a copy does, the barcode is clear, plus you can make a color copy so I do not see the "point". I save 70% during each Safeway trip, thank you for all of the coupons!

I've been following coupon pro on Facebook for a few months now and every time they post a coupon deal to print, it says I can't. In fact, I've never been able to print coupons here. Either it says it can't because it's expired or not available, it says it printed when it didn't, or it says I've reached my printing limit even though I've never been able to get them to print.
- 86 September 15, 2016 at 3:49 PM

General FAQs
Where Can I buy Cort Guitars and Basses?
Check out Dealer and Distributor List here.
Why can't I find my Cort guitar on the Cort website?
The current Cort website only features the model lineup of this year. Models that are designed for domestic sales in a certain country, specially designed spot models, or models that have been discontinued are not listed on the website. If you can't find your model on the website, please contact the authorized Cort dealer or Cort distributor in your country.
I have a CORT instrument and need a schematic ? are they available?
You can find schematics here.
Does CORT sell direct to the public?
We do not sell our product to the public directly, plrease contact to authorized CORT dealer near you.
How can I become an authorized CORT Dealer?
For information regarding possible dealerships, please send your inquiries here.
Can I identify a Cort model just by the serial number alone?
You cannot identify a particular Cort model just by the serial number alone. Serial numbers mainly identify the year that the instrument was produced in. For instance, if a serial number starts with 00, that guitar was produced in 2000. Guitars being produced in 2006 start with 06 and so on.
How do I validate my warranty?
Your original sales receipt is your verification of proof and date of purchase for validation of warranty claims. In order to validate your warranty and as a condition of this warranty, you must retain your original sales receipt or a copy. Your Cort guitar must be purchased from an authorized Cort dealer.
What is the length of the warranty period on my Cort guitar?
The methods for administering warranty service may vary somewhat from country to country. Please check with the Cort Distributor in your country, or the Cort Dealer from whom you purchased the product for specific details on the warranty coverage for your guitar.
I'd like to inquire about the A/S (after service) for Cort guitars and what is the best way to do this?
Normally, A/S could be provided at the authorized Cort dealer where you purchased the Cort guitar or bass. Please don't forget to retain your original sales receipt or a copy.
Is A/S for Cort guitars only available at the same store the instruments were purchased in?
Bringing your guitar to the store where you purchased is the easiest way to validate your warranty. Regardless of whether you purchased at the store or not, you can inquire of Cort dealers about A/S for your Cort guitar. Before bringing your guitar, please contact Cort dealers in your area by phone first.
I bought my guitar used, is it still under warranty?
All Cort instrument warranties apply to the original purchaser only. Even if your Cort product is no longer covered under warranty, our authorized Cort dealers can perform repairs on used, non-warranted products as well, and may be able to give you an accurate estimate of the cost prior to beginning the work. Please contact your local Cort Dealer.
What is the difference between Mighty Mite and Powersound PU?
Both pickups are manufactured by Cort and are used on Cort electric guitars & Basses. The main difference between the two pickups is in the magnet. The MightyMite pickups use the Alnico 5 magnet for a clearer and mellower tone. In contrast, the PowerSound pickups use the ferrite ceramic magnets for a thicker and raw-sounding tone.
What is coil split?
Some Cort models have coil split system which gives you both Humbucker and single coil sound with 4 countuctor Humbucker PU and both Push Pull or mini toggle. Basically, the coil-split cuts out one of the coils on a dual-coil humbucking pickup and converts it to a single-coil pickup.
What function does the Slap Contour Switch perform on the Curbow and the Funkmachine basses?
Main fuction of this switch is readjusting the EQ contour to transform the tone of the bass to ideally suit for the slapping and popping. Although it's possible to do this with standard EQ control knobs, this switch allows to change the mode very quickly without delaying.

Buzz on 1st to 5th Frets: Raise nut Heights
Buzz on 5th to 12th Frets: Neck Relief
Buzz on Higher than 12th Frets: String Action
But If you are not sure about the causes or you are not confident about what to do about the problems outlined above, it's best to consult a professional guitar technician at an authorized Cort dealer.
What is the Luthite body material used on the Curbow basses?
The Luthite material was developed by our New Materials Development Department wich is not wood. It is a composite material that mimics the sonic characteristics of wood. It has a certain tonal character since it's composite, but that composite character may be desirable for certain kinds of sounds. The dominant sonic character of Luthite can be described as powerful, focused, punchy, and very clear. This is ideal for slapping and popping on the bass, which is what the Curbow excels at. Plus, Luthite is very light in weight as well.
Can I string my Cort acoustics with medium gauge strings?
We have been using D?'Addario 80/20 bronze strings for many years. While strings are a matter of personal preference. It?'s as easy as changing strings to try for yourself and see where your taste lies. The dreadnoughts and jumbos are all fine with medium or light gauge strings. But small-bodied guitars are braced lightly. So, small-bodied guitars are not suited for medium gauge strings. Use of medium gauges can damage your guitar top.
How should I clean my acoustics?
We want to recommend you not to use the 'polish?' on a satin finish guitars. Use a cotton cloth slightly moistened with water to wipe and clean the body and neck. I don't advise using too much wax or guitar polish. And moisture should never be used in non-finish areas, like fingerboard and bridge. Avoid polishes containing abrasives, wax, or silicone. There are some questions about silicone and the effect it has on all finishes. We do not believe that silicone will cause any direct damage to our gloss finish.
Where should I install a strap button?
Simply, you can hang your strap on neck. It does no harms to the neck of your instrument to tie the strap on the paghead. The most popular location for a strap button is in the treble side heel of the neck down. Be sure to pre-drill the strap button hole, and the strap draws perpendicular to the button and it's very secure indeed. You can put the strap button directly in the heel cap. It's the easiest area to touch up if you remove the button later. Drill a pilot hole for my strap button screw. We strongly recommend the strap button be installed by an repair person.
What is the wrench size for truss rods? (Acoustic)
We have one type of wrench. L-shaped Allen wrenches are using, and the diameter is 4mm. (caution: not 3/16")
Temperature and Humidity
Changes in humidity are the greatest danger to your guitars. High humidity can even cause wood to swell and distort. Low humidity is also bad for guitars. You should have a room humidified to 45%~48%. Especially don't allow it to get cold and then warm too quickly. Our guitars built in factories with sufficient humidity control.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - With winter fast approaching, people around the basin are thinking about what to do with all the snow that's sure to fall on Tahoe this year.
Instead of shoveling and blowing all the snow yourself, take the winter off and let Tahoe Workz Snow Removal do all the heavy lifting for you.
The company, which was founded in the 1990s, has grown the past several years, thanks in part to the current owner, Carl Kurashewich. In his fifth season with Tahoe Workz, Kurashewich is hoping for a snow-filled winter, so he and his crew can keep driveways and parking lots throughout Incline Village clear.
"Obviously we get a lot of snow up here," Kurashewich said. "There's a need for (snow removal). Living up here, (the snow) falls into your lap every year."
Tahoe Workz operates three front-load blowers, as well as smaller snow blowers and hand shoveling, to reach even the tightest of spots. The company also is able to clear off decks and roofs, since they have both the manpower and equipment to do so, Kurashewich added.
Kurashewich explained that by using a front-end blower tractor, crews can remove snow from a property completely, compared to a plow which simply piles snow in one section of the property. While the crew goes out in as little as 3 inches of snow, the tractors are built to handle large snowfalls.
"These guys will pick it up one time," said Kurashewich of the tractor's ability to clean off a driveway in one sweep.
Tahoe Workz offers different options for winter contracts, including unlimited seasonal removal or on a will-call basis. The company offers free quotes, as rates are based on size and elevation of driveway, along with some other factors.
"We try to cater to everyone as much as possible," Kurashewich explained.
Kurashewich added that unlike other snow removal companies, Tahoe Workz goes to work when there's as little as 3 inches of snow on the ground, and will return to clear driveways multiple times during storms if need be.
"Even during small years, there's a need to go out (two or more times). We'll go out however many times it takes," Kurashewich said.
He continued, adding that the "ideal" time to go out for snow removal is between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m.; however his crew works on call, 24 hours a day. When possible, they have an 8 a.m. mark they try to hit, allowing customers to go to work or school on time.
"We want the driveway clear for going to work and coming home," Kurashewich said.
The Tahoe Workz crew all has experience with snow removal, as well as operating machinery. Kurashewich is careful to have extra tractor parts in stock in case one breaks down on the job, putting customers' minds at ease.
The snow blower Tahoe Workz uses, the Trackless NT-5, is lighter than other tractors, meaning it's less likely to damage any property or paving. Also with advanced steering, the tractor is able to get to hard-to-reach spots, and doesn't slip on steep driveways.
"(The tractors) get around. It's amazing with these tractors where they're able to go," Kurashewich said.
Tahoe Workz season runs from November 1 to April 20. For a free estimate, Kurashewich recommends checking out the website to fill out the quote form.

Press Release
Plano, TX - Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), one of the world's largest motion picture exhibitors, is pleased to announce a special in-theatre performance of the 1963 Twentieth Century Fox masterpiece CLEOPATRA in over 120 Cinemark theatres across the country as part of Cinemark's Classic Series. Performances will be on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at two separate show times, 2 pm and 7pm, with an additional Sunday matinee on May 26 at 2pm.
"A film like CLEOPATRA is why we created the Classic Series," states James Meredith, VP of Marketing for Cinemark. "From award winning costumes and lavish sets, to the epic vision of the director, to the iconic performances of Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Rex Harrison, this film is a visual feast in so many ways."
Twentieth Century Fox has meticulously restored the 243-minute original theatrical version of CLEOPATRA to commemorate its 50th anniversary. The new digitally restored transfer will receive a world premiere as an official selection of Cannes Classics at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival on May 21 in the Sixtieth Anniversary Theater.
Tickets for Cinemark's Classic Series are now available at www.cinemark.com or at the participating theatre box office. For a full list of participating Cinemark locations, advance ticket purchases and show time information go to the Cinemark web site.
In 51 BC, Cleopatra became queen of the Egyptian Empire: the wealthiest and most revered kingdom the world has ever known. More than 2,000 years later Twentieth Century Fox Studios set out to tell her epic story in what would become, at the time, the most ambitious and lavish moviemaking endeavor in Hollywood history. Elizabeth Taylor signed a one million dollar contract to play the title role of Cleopatra, becoming the first female star to command such a sum for one picture. Elaborate sets and costumes, production delays and the relocation of principal filming from London to Rome added to the skyrocketing budget.
Directed by Academy Award® winner Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the historical epic shot on 70mm film took home four Academy Awards and was the highest grossing films of 1963 earning more than $57 million in its initial release. CLEOPATRA infamously cost an unprecedented $42 million to make (equivalent to over $300 million today) and was racked with scandal as the onscreen love affair between Cleopatra (Taylor) and Mark Antony (Burton) spilled over into real life during the three-year production in Rome. Burton celebrated his great love for Ms. Taylor with exquisite gifts from Bulgari.
On May 28, CLEOPATRA will make its Blu-ray debut in a 2-Disc 50th Anniversary Edition artfully packaged with a full-color book featuring rare images that provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the making of this legendary film. The Blu-ray is packed with dazzling bonus materials featuring never-before-seen exclusive content including Cleopatra's lost footage, commentary from Chris Mankiewicz, Tom Mankiewicz, Martin Landau and Jack Brodsky, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and more. Additionally, fans can watch footage from the film's original theatrical premieres in both New York and Los Angeles.

The HMS Vanguard of Britain's Royal Navy and Le Triomphant of France's Navy, both nuclear subs, collided earlier this month and sustained heavy damage. While both countries assure there's no danger of a nuclear threat, both subs are key parts of their respective country's nuclear arsenal and are presumed to have been carrying a full complement of nuclear warheads.
The crash occurred in the middle of the Atlantic at an undisclosed date earlier in the month. First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Jonathon Band said the collision was at low speed and while the damage was heavy, no injuries were reported. The British vessel had to be towed back to port and featured "very visible dents and scrapes" according to British officials.
The irony of the collision was that it perhaps proved that the countries' respective anti-sonar technologies were working as planned. Neither nuclear sub could see the other, despite the fact that both were equipped with sonar. And the seemingly rare chance crossing of the sub's paths occurred, and thus led to a collision. States BBC's Caroline Wyatt, "This is clearly a one-in-a-million chance when you think about how big the Atlantic is. It is actually unbelievable that something happened."
French officials describe their sub's damage from the incident stating, "The sonar dome, at the front, was damaged. This incident did not cause any injuries among the crew and did not threaten the nuclear security at any time. The submarine came back by its own means to L'Ile Longue, escorted by a frigate, as it is the usual practice when leaving or coming back."
While the collision seems like a highly improbable occurrence, it may actually be more likely than some suspect. According to British nuclear engineer John Large, both countries prefer deep waters a certain distance off their coasts to patrol in. Given the geography of Britain and France, these deep waters feature significant overlap.
States Mr. Large, "Both navies want quiet areas, deep areas, roughly the same distance from their home ports. So you find these station grounds have got quite a few submarines, not only French and Royal Navy but also from Russia and the United States."
In Britain, the Liberal Democrat spokesman Nick Harvey praised the Royal Navy and its response stating, "While the British nuclear fleet has a good safety record, if there were ever to be a bang it would be a mighty big one. Now that this incident is public knowledge, the people of Britain, France and the rest of the world need to be reassured this can never happen again and that lessons are being learned."
However, Scottish National Party officials blasted the error, stating, "The Ministry of Defence needs to explain how it is possible for a submarine carrying weapons of mass destruction to collide with another submarine carrying weapons of mass destruction in the middle of the world's second-largest ocean."
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament also jumped aboard the criticism boat, stating, "The collision of two submarines, both with nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons onboard, could have released vast amounts of radiation and scattered scores of nuclear warheads across the seabed."
quote: This collision really isn't all that unlikely.
quote: Furthermore, the chance of a collision -- even one at 10 times the speed these 25 mph boats can manage -- causing a detonation isn't just "very low", its infinitesimal. Even if it did occur, it would be a 'fizzle', 1/50 power or so, rather than the full detonation a boosted-fission device would normally experience.
quote: Finally, even if a warhead did explode -- so what? Deep underwater, there wouldn't be any fallout. You'd kill some fish, but within a few days or weeks at the most, currents would bring down water radioactivity levels back to background levels. The risk to us on the surface would be zero. The most that would happen is fishing in the region might have to be suspended temporarily.

Beyond Profit: Rethinking Corporate Social Responsibility and Greenwashing After the BP Oil Disaster

Saint Louis University - School of Law

Savannah Law School
September 1, 2010
Tulane Law Review, Vol. 85, No. 4, p. 983, 2011
The explosion of the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon and subsequent oil spill stands as an indictment not just of our national energy priorities and environmental law enforcement; it equally represents a failure of Anglo-American corporate law and what passes for corporate social responsibility in business today. Using BP and the disaster as a compelling case study, this Article examines green marketing and corporate governance and identifies elements of each that encourage firms to engage only superficially in corporate social responsibility yet trumpet those efforts to eager consumers and investors. The Article then proposes reforms and protections designed to increase corporate social responsibility, root out greenwashing, and recognize liability for corporate social responsibility frauds on consumers and investors. One of these protections derives from the newly enacted Dodd-Frank Act, whose Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection could play a leading role in policing fraudulent claims of corporate social responsibility.

Nokia 808 PureView
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
The Nokia 808 PureView smartphone features a 41-megapixel sensor, high-performance Carl Zeiss optics, plus new PureView Imaging and pixel oversampling technologies. "At standard resolutions (2/3, 5 and 8 megapixels) this means the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture seven pixels of information, condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images imaginable," the company says. At high-resolution (38 megapixel maximum) it means the ability to capture an image, then zoom, reframe, crop and resize afterwards. In addition to superior still imaging technology, the Nokia 808 PureView, also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and the world's first use of Nokia Rich Recording, which enables audio recording at "CD-like" levels of quality. Other highlights of the Nokia 808 PureView include a 1/1.2" sensor - which is only slightly smaller than the ones found in the Nikon 1 System cameras -, a 8.02mm (~28mm equivalent) f/2.4 lens and a 4" screen. Click through / scroll down for a hands-on video of the Nokia 808 PureView (released by the manufacturer), and a dozen hands-on photos.
Update: Nokia has released a few 34- and 38-megapixel samples captured with the Nokia 808 PureView, as well as a white paper detailing the benefits of Nokia's PureView technology.
Nokia Press Release
Nokia 808 PureView ushers in a revolution in smartphone imaging
Nokia sets a new industry standard with the first in a range of high end experiences based on exclusive Nokia PureView imaging technologies.
Barcelona, Spain - Nokia today ushered in a new era in high-end smartphone imaging with the Nokia 808 PureView. This is the first smartphone to feature Nokia PureView imaging technologies, bringing together high resolution sensors, exclusive Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia developed algorithms, which will support new high-end imaging experiences for future Nokia products.
The Nokia 808 PureView features a large, high-resolution 41 megapixel sensor with high-performance Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology. At standard resolutions (2/3, 5 and 8 megapixels) this means the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture seven pixels of information, condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images imaginable. At high-resolution (38 megapixel maximum) it means the ability to capture an image, then zoom, reframe, crop and resize afterwards to expose previously unseen levels of details. With superior low-light performance and the ability to save in compact file sizes for sharing in email, MMS, and on social networks, the Nokia 808 PureView makes it possible for anyone to capture professional looking images in any conditions.
In addition to superior still imaging technology, the Nokia 808 PureView, also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and the world's first use of Nokia Rich Recording. Rich Recording enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, previously only possible with external microphones.
The Nokia 808 PureView also features exclusive Dolby Headphone technology, transforming stereo content into a personal surround sound experience over any headphones and Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback.
"Nokia PureView imaging technology sets a new industry standard by whatever measure you use," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia Smart Devices. "People will inevitably focus on the 41 megapixel sensor, but the real quantum leap is how the pixels are used to deliver breath-taking image quality at any resolution and the freedom it provides to choose the story you want to tell."

Amazing sensor size (1/1.2') and IQ for a cellphone
Can't wait to put my hands on it
That is just completely insane, I can't figure out if I actually believe it or not.
My sentiments exactly! It's just off the charts. The sample photos look great. Make sure you're sitting down when the price is announced.
@DaveAB Nokia claims that it'll be 450€
This completely took me by surprise. Can't wait to see the photos it takes. What a leap in Megapixels. I've actually just written an article about the future of mobile phones on my blog. It's a bit speculative but it's just a bit of fun! You can find it at http://gadgetnode.com/10-advancements-in-mobile-technology-we-might-see-in-the-future/ if anyone wants a read.

Talk about spoiling my Christmas! I absolutely love Akiko. In fact, after Liza and Carolina, Akiko is my next favourite ladies skater (although, Mao is not too far behind!)
I have to be honest and say that Akiko didnt really come up on my radar until the last couple of seasons. But, she very quickly became one of my favourite skaters.
Like, how could anybody not like Akiko?! She is a brilliant skater, she is really beautiful, and she has a really playful personality that really endears her to you. As I said in a message I wrote soon after joining this forum (but have yet to actually post!), Still can't believe that she's older than me - she looks so young!
I was a bit annoyed when the Kerrs had to retire. Like, they were just starting to really challenge the top ice dancers on a regular basis. But, I suppose there is not much you can do about injuries.
But, I am really upset about Akiko deciding to retire. OK, so she may be one of the older girls competing at the moment, but she is far from past it! She is one of the top competitors in ladies skating at the moment.
Look at it this way: if Yu-Na, Mao or Carolina have one bad performance at the Worlds this year (which is more than likely!), Akiko would have to be the favourite to pinch a podium position.
Now, with all the good teenage skaters coming through at the moment, it would probably be too soon to definitely say the same for next seasons Worlds, or for the Olympics. But, Akiko should still be well in the mix.
So, although we still have another season and a half to enjoy her competing, I really think Akiko is calling time on her career too soon.
Arigato Akiko-san for the joy you have given us these past few years.
...and lets hope you decide to delay the Sayonara for a few more years yet!
Next season will be the last one for many skaters. Not a surprise.
...Or Jenna (we need another few years for Dempsey Andrews to get near Jenna's level); Kiira; [next on the list was going to be Laura Lepistö, but I only found out there now when I went to check the spelling of her name that she had already retired!]
Or Yevgeny (again); Brian; Tomá; Daisuke; Nobunari
Or Zhang Dan (well, weve already lost Zhang Hao); Pang and Tong; Kavaguti and Smirnov
Or Nathalie and Fabien; Alyona and Robin; Tatiana and Maxim...
Oh, its depressing me thinking about who might retire in the not too distant future!
Sad News - but somehow understandable, when looking at her age. I hope she will be able to go to Sochi, not guaranteed, especially if Miki finds a coach and returns.
I think Akiko should be very proud of her career. I have a great admiration for her, especially since she has overcome anorexia and had stayed in the sport well into her 20's (she will be 29 in March 2014). She is a wonderful role model for skaters of every nation. Hats off to you Akiko and hoping to see you in Sochi!
She's such a wonderful skater and a lovely girl, and I would selfishly like her to compete for a lot of years, but we must remember that she's 27 and her body won't be able to land triples forever so I think that, after all the great programs she gave us, retiring after a successful Olympic season would be the best thing... I wish her all the best for the rest of this season, too!
Before this announcement, I believe that the official word was that Akiko wasn't sure if she would stick around for the Olympic season. So this announcement is actually good news.
Also, there's only a few sentences from Akiko in that Kyodo news blurb, and it's probably translated from Japanese, but she sounds kind of down (this is compared to her usual writing tone on her blog and her twitter). Cheer up, Akiko!
It's too bad she has to retire but I kinda expected it to be right after Sochi given her age. I'm crossing my fingers she makes the team for Sochi.

Largest dairy in Wisconsin begins project to make energy from its manure
Largest dairy in Wisconsin begins project to make energy from its manure
There's a bright, green future ahead for Rosendale Dairy and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh—renewable energy production, firsthand learning opportunities, and sustainable farming practices have united.
Rosendale Dairy, Wisconsin's largest dairy farm, broke ground on the construction of a 1.4 megawatt renewable energy biodigester on July 9. The project includes not only utilizing manure from the dairy's 8,500 cows to make biogas, but also the creation of a public education center and a research laboratory for UW-Oshkosh students and staff.
The $7 million digester is expected to process 240 tons of manure a day, producing 1.4 megawatts of electricity—that's enough energy to power 1,200 homes.
The facilities are a continuation of a unique partnership begun in 2011 between BIOFerm™ Energy Systems, the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh (UWO), and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Foundation. The collaboration allows for the state's largest dairy to forge the way in sustainable and financially beneficial farming practices while granting Wisconsin's students the opportunity to gain hands-on learning experience with renewable energy systems.
"Beyond producing heat and electricity that meaningfully negate our campus' carbon footprint, we view our fleet of biodigesters as living, learning laboratories for students, faculty and the communities we serve," UW Oshkosh Foundation President, Arthur Rathjen said. "And we are confident our digesters, as their production scales up and their impact becomes even more widely known, will draw agricultural, industrial and other types of enterprise to our campus and region."
Several other benefits are offered through the digester in addition to taking the farm's waste and generating renewable heat and electricity: it will reduce farm odors, decrease phosphorus and nitrogen run-off, and the resulting nutrient-rich digestate can be used or sold as a soil additive.
"When you add in the ability to use the manure to gather green energy even before it is returned to the soil, it is another major benefit to a farm's pre-existing sustainability," said Rosendale Dairy co-owner, Jim Ostrom.
The project at Rosendale Dairy will be the third digester produced from the relationship between BIOFerm™ and UWO as the university employs digestion technology to achieve their sustainability goals. According to Rathjen, "Beyond producing sustainable energy for farm operations, our digesters will serve as model solutions to keep farming vibrant in Wisconsin's future. Digesters serve as a catalyst for a quality of life, one that will preserve and strengthens our rural, farming heritage and legacy."
Carbon credits generated from the digester's sale of electricity to the grid are expected to dramatically aid in the university's goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2025.
The system is expected to be producing electricity and connected to the grid by December 2013. "We are quite happy to see the results of a long road and look forward to seeing our product help in the creation of green energy by the end of 2013," notes Ostrom.

Share, remember, and celebrate all the terrific things about being a big brother or big sister!
A first-person text invites older siblings to make a book all about themselves being a new big brother or sister. Encourages the child's interest in the baby but emphasizes what it means to the older child and how they now see themselves. Fully-illustrated pages help a kid create an album of his or her experiences, feelings, and perspectives–with good helpings of fun and silliness. Includes two pages of stickers to decorate pages and add to drawings. Though its tone is lighthearted, this subtly wise book inspires a child to discover a wide variety of ideas about self, family, growing up, and the new baby.
For big kids ages 2-6 (with a little help from Mom or Dad).
Size is 8" x 10". 48 pages.

Next week is Easter and I am sure a lot of children are anticipating the various Easter egg hunts. Some will be organized by parents at home; others are organized by schools and churches. I remember our very first Easter egg hunt. I really don't want to discourage new parents, but ours was a disaster.
Of course I have to mention that Easter bunnies and Easter egg hunts were foreign concepts to me when I moved to the U.S. There were no bunnies or egg hunts where I grew up. My mother would boil eggs and my siblings and I would color them, and after that we had a competition. We would take turns hitting each other's eggs and the egg that cracked first was the loser – or better said, the owner of the egg was the loser.
As you can see, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I read the announcement in the newspaper about the Easter egg hunt in Palmetto Island County Park. I thought it would be a great idea for my son – he was 20 months old at that time – to participate and meet other children. Boy was I wrong.
When we arrived I saw a huge field covered with colorful eggs. But there were only a few children in my son's age range, and a lot of older children. Later, I realized these were older siblings or cousins, preferably the ones who were already familiar with football moves like a tackle and protecting the ball (in this case the egg). I'm sure you get the picture.
After the sign that the children were allowed to go and "hunt" the eggs, the older children went first and pushed everybody aside, protecting the egg until the younger sibling could come and pick it up.
After this peculiar way of gathering eggs, the maneuvers would be repeated, under loud encouragement by the parents.
Needless to say, my son, who didn't have older front-runners, ended up with one egg. He was very disappointed and sad and I decided that I never would participate in an Easter egg hunt again.
Of course we did. In pre-school and kindergarten the Easter egg hunts were better organized and every child got his or her fair share of eggs.
At home my husband and I would hide eggs in the yard, or inside the home depending on the weather, and later my next door neighbors would invite my kids to search their yard for hidden treasures.
I hope you and your children will be spared the experience we had with our first Easter egg hunt.
To prepare your child for this fun tradition I would suggest reading some Easter books to your child or watching an Easter DVD together, e.g., "The Easter Egg," by Jan Brett, "The Egg Tree," by Katherine Milhous, "Roly-Poly Egg," by Kali Stileman, "Ollie's Easter Eggs" by Olivier Dunrea, the DVD "The Easter Bunny Is Coming to Town" (1977) or "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" by Charles M. Schulz, which comes in print form as well as on DVD.
Although the Mount Pleasant Regional Library (1133 Mathis Ferry Road) doesn't organize an Easter egg hunt, we will have a special story time with crafts and snacks hosted by Amy Steinmeuller on March 27 at 4 p.m.
In a related note, our Village Branch at 430 Whilden Street in Mount Pleasant will hold an egg hunt on Saturday, March 23, at 9:30 a.m. or at 11 a.m. Call 884-9741 for more details on their egg hunt.

A store in Winnipeg that sells music, posters, shirts and bongs. The guys that work there just rip inside the store and add 'flavour' to all the shirts. Near O'Calcutta, which is similar.
Man, let's go rip a b at Wild Planet.

POLL: Which organization would you donate your time or money to?
Which organization would you donate your time or money to?
Which organization would you donate your time or money to?
Giving Tuesday offers a reprieve from the shopping frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday (so named for the huge discounts and bizarre store hours offered to consumers in preparation for holiday giving). From the wiki, #GivingTuesday™ is:
...a movement to create a national day of giving to kick off the giving season added to the calendar on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. The second annual GivingTuesday is on December 3, 2013. In the same way that retail stores take part in Black Friday, we want the giving community to come together for #GivingTuesday. We ask that partners create and commit to a project for/on #GivingTuesday and then help spread the word to their networks.
Today we ask our readers: Which organization or group would you donate your time or money to? We've listed a few of our favorite friends in the community. Feel free to add your own open source project in the comments below!
If you would like to contribute your time to Opensource.com, we are always looking for great open source stories and love it when you share our content on your favorite social media platform. Find out how to participate with us. And, use the tools at the top of this article to share the open source love with friends and colleagues!

This was a tough choice, as open source enthusiast. I voted for Open Source Initiative, with the Open Knowledge Foundation as second on my list.
Interesting poll for Giving Tuesday. I'm predicting quite a few votes for the Linux Foundation.
... all of the above. Since I had to pick only one, Open Knowledge seemed to cover a lot of bases.
I know that many open source enthusiasts would know how each of the organizations fit into the "big picture" but a brief summary may help those who sure what some of them do.
Shame that the Apache Software Foundation wasn't included.
Totally our bad. So many great organizations to donate time or money to.
You don't make it easy, do you? :-) So many worthy organizations, so little time ...
Great list! Thanks for sharing it.
How about the Mozilla Foundation and the FreeBSD Foudation? The FreeBSD Foundation is doing their end of year fundraising campaign right now.
Agreed, both are great organizations. Literally, this poll could have a list of 50+ choices.

What do you do with the points you earn?im new here so i have no idea what to do with them.
Now you are not that new to the site.... i am probably newer than you but there was a similiar question posed by some other personand all the answers were given by various persons on the siteso give some of the other forums a read and you will in turn find the answer you seek!!!! The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
Thank you. I like people with common sense. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
with common sense is that no one seems to posess it anymore. Thing that seem like common sense or custesy to some is not common to others. There seems to be no common set of knowlege now a days. "Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
Thats exactly why i was disinclined to acquiesce his request!!! The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
that was very nearly a quote from Piratres, curse of the black pearl. "Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
On my quest for madness i qoute a lot of movies anime and presidential speeches its just that i like to rephrase everything and put it in the order i like best... but alas most of my speeches these days are made upbecause the literary peoples of today are too inarticulate and are down in the doldrums where exciting grammar is to be told... the characters of any movie are great once they understand the basics of acting... but only a great actor/actress/voice-over... can pull off a great speech with exciting literary devices and brilliant metaphors and captivate the audience into an endaring silence for the pure pleasure of viewing a movie..... The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
Well that was very articlate. i really can't spell, but i hope i can be of some semi-inteligent coversation or at least some amusement at the very least. "Those who live in darkness wander aimlessly."
Education has nothing to do with a demon... we don't discriminate on who we provoke or invoke its just that questions need to be answered and no matter what language bad spelling or what....once it can be understood someone will understand..... UNDERSTAND!!! The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!

Wind, heat, hail, early freeze, late frost, deer, gophers – you name it, this growing season had it. In Durango, that's pretty much a normal year.
"You always have to expect something is going to go wrong," said Heidi Rowher of Rowher's Farms, "because something always does."
The Durango Farmers Market closed Saturday until May. You could tell it was the last hurrah as fewer vendors showed up – the delicious smelling pizza cart was gone; so, too, the knife sharpeners – and fewer customers braved the unseasonal early cold to shop. But the last of the year's greens and tomatoes sold briskly while the colorful varieties of pumpkins and squash were carted away for holiday meals and decorating.
This year, greens, carrots and beets were the best sellers for many farmers but staples like tomatoes, potatoes and onions pulled their weight as well.
Every farmer had a different story to tell about how this season stacked up against last. A freak September hailstorm ruined much of Leslie Kerby's red and golden delicious apple crop. Rowher suffered through a terrible year for her prized greens, while Chuck Barry of Stone Creek Farm said he had a record year for his.
"Steady warm nights, that's conducive to vegetable happiness," he said of the unusually warm spring. "Overall, it was a pretty mellow season."
Not so for Nancy Nard of Nancy's Garden, who lived through a drought-stricken June and July filled with fires near her Cortez-based farm. Because of the lack of traditional summer rain, she frequently had to water her vegetables twice as often as normal.
"It's taken a lot to raise crops this year," she said.
Nonetheless, she plans to be back next year, as sales went well her first year at the market.
Some like Barry and Jennifer Wheeling of the Gardens at James Ranch said this year was better than last year, both for the crops and for sales. Others said it was about the same. Rowher deemed it a learning year at the farm and at the market – what to plant when, what sells best and what not to do again. For first-time farmers at the market like Nard and Dustin Stein of Stubborn Farm, most said they sold everything they harvested and wished they had had more to offer eager customers.
"I need to grow more," Stein said. "If I can grow it, I can sell it."
That's a business model anyone would envy.

Administrators with the Clarence and Depew school districts are the two finalists for Grand Island schools superintendent.
Paul Krull, acting president of the Grand Island School Board, identified Teresa Lawrence, Clarence's director of curriculum and staff development, and Susan Frey, Depew's assistant superintendent, as the finalists. A third finalist recently withdrew from consideration for personal reasons.
Both candidates for the post vacated by Robert Christmann, who retired after six years, are to be interviewed Wednesday by stakeholders' groups, Krull said.
The board expects to make a final decision in March. The new superintendent is expected to take over on July 1 from interim superintendent Paul Hashem.
Also announced Monday is the resignation of Sandra Anzalone, Grand Island High School principal. She is leaving March 17 to be superintendent of the Eden Central School District.
Anzalone replaces Richard Schaefer, acting superintendent, who will return to his post as principal of Eden Elementary School.
In other business, Joseph Giarrizzo, assistant superintendent for finance, updated the board on budget preparations for the 2013-14 school year. The district projects a $54.7 million budget. It will begin work next month on closing a $1.5 million gap between revenues and expenses in creating the new fiscal plan.
Giarrizzo noted there are only three places to achieve that end: cuts to staff and/or programs and utilization of fund balances and other savings.
"We are falling behind, but we're no different than every other school district in the state," he said.
It was also announced that the board has interviewed two applicants for the vacancy on the board created by the January resignation of David Goris. "In two to three weeks we'll make a choice," said Krull.
Whomever is appointed probably would run in the May 21 school board election to fill the remaining two years of Goris' term.
The board also agreed to add propositions to the May 21 referendum to spend $641,000 for four 64-passenger school buses and two 29-passenger buses with wheelchair lifts and $68,000 to buy two small trucks with plows for the Buildings and Grounds Department.
Correction: A previous headline on this story indicated the wrong school district.

Harper International's planned move to Depew received a boost from the Erie County Industrial Development Agency.
The ECIDA on Monday approved $148,000 in sales tax savings to support Harper's relocation from Lancaster to the former Quad/Graphics building on George Urban Boulevard. A property tax abatement, in accordance with the ECIDA's standard 10-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement schedule, is yet to be determined.
Harper, a maker of industrial furnaces, will lease 175,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse, office and research and development space from an investment group that recently bought the 850,000-square-foot building for $4.4 million. Harper has an option to buy its portion. The owners of the building plan to subdivide the vast property.
Once Harper makes improvements to the building, the company is expected to ask Cheektowaga's assessor to break out the value of Harper's footprint, the ECIDA said. "If necessary, the ECIDA will enter into a PILOT agreement for 10 years with the company." The value of Harper's footprint, and the impact on taxes, is not yet known; a PILOT would apply only to the increased assessed value.
Harper is moving because it was unable to expand at its longtime in the Village of Lancaster, where it occupied five buildings. The company has shifted some of its operations to leased space at Calspan's building in Cheektowaga.
Harper is finalizing its agreement with the new owners of the former Quad/Graphics building and intends to move there in middle of this year, said Diana Robbins, marketing director. The company has not made a firm commitment about buying its space there, but it is including the option in its agreement to allow for that possibility.
Since Harper's project involves moving from one town to another within the county, supervisors of both towns were notified. In a follow-up letter, Lancaster Supervisor Dino J. Fudoli said he had "no concerns or questions regarding the proposed project" and wished Harper well in its move.
Cheektowaga Supervisor Mary Holtz, who is also an ECIDA board member, recalled when Quad/Graphics closed the Depew plant in late 2011, dealing a blow to local manufacturing employment. "The thought of that [building] sitting empty was disastrous," she said. But now the property has a new owner committed to filling it up, Holtz said.
Christopher Johnston, who filled in as chairman for Monday's ECIDA meeting, called Harper "a tremendous success story for our region." The employee-owned company sells its products internationally and has positioned itself for growth, he said.
Harper in its application said it expects its employment to rise to 122, from the current 108, two years after the project is completed. The company estimates the project's value at $5.5 million.

Impressions of Interiors: Gilded Age Paintings by Walter GayAmerican artist Walter Gay (1856–1937) specialized in painting views of opulent residential interiors in late-19th and early-20th-century America and Europe. John Singer Sargent, Gay's contemporary, is well known for painting the sumptuous clothing and jewels of American society in his fashionable portraits. Gay, in contrast, painted society's rooms—with their silk wall coverings, ornate paneling, 18th-century French furniture, tapestries, and sculptures—in often legendary residences.10/05/2012 - 01/06/2013Frick Art & Historical Center, 7227 Reynolds St., Pittsburgh, PAwebsite | map

Verdi's RigolettoThe court jester Rigoletto (Mark Delavan) loves his daughter Gilda (Lyubov Petrova) nearly as much as he hates the Duke of Mantua (Michael W. Lee). The Duke steals Gilda's honor, and the jester must continue to joke, even as he plans revenge. Rigoletto sometimes takes a joke too far for the comfort of his audience. But, this being opera, Rigoletto is met not by boos, but by a curse, when one of his jokes gets a little too personal.

For lovers of Typically Swiss Hotels
Spina is situated on the Rhaetian Railway's famous Albula route, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. It even has its own mini station. This quiet guest house with comfortable "Stüva", 100 year-old bowling alley, simple rooms and delicious food made from local produce is the stuff real experiences are made of. Those looking for nature and peace, and who would rather gaze at the stars at night than at the TV screen will feel quite at home here.

Also this is unique; your little vacation house is located quietly and peacefully in the heart of the Val Bever having its own railway station. It is car free though. Great, isn¿t it! An open horse trap, is driving up the 4km slowly from Bever to Spinas. On the same gravel road you reach us within 20 minutes by bike. The idyllic fairy tale path takes you to the guest house within 1hour. The gorgeous trail through the larch forests leads right past our house.
