Zeratul56 - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkI mean its cool but I don't think its worth it. Your essentially paying for a tablet and a laptop. That can't be cheap. Why would you want two operating systems on a single device. I guess this thing is really two devices with one screen. Should make Intel happy since it has two of their possessors. Reply
amar.znzi - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkyeah. if both OSes were running on the same hardware, then this could be one truly innovative product. But i think that's not possible as Android does not support Desktop hardware, am i right? Reply
ssnova - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkYou're wrong, they now have android for intel. I'd say this is quite innovative too... you have the power savings and longer run time with Android+arm, while having the power and extensibility of intel x86 on Windows+intel. We'll see how the device pans out, but it's an all in one. Reply
ssnova - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkedit: correction... I just saw that this is using intel atom for android. Reply
Hacky Boy - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkI saw this somewhere else. I think they are referring to the same thing. Basically two processors, one on the tablet and another more powerful one residing in the keyboard.

xaphod - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkThe Frankenstein of laptops? But seriously -- if I save a document on the Windows side, how do I open it on the Android side or vice-versa? The level of OS-customization required to make this a good user experience is non-trivial, and I doubt it'll "just work well" out of the box. Reply
Lonyo - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkTHE CLOUD.
You save your document to the Cloud, uploading it with your data connection.
Then you download it from the cloud when you switch to the "other" device.
Eeasy. Reply
prophet001 - Monday, June 03, 2013 - link"The Cloud"
Is anyone so numb as to think the cloud is some magical sanctuary hidden far far beyond the reaches of greedy CEOs and opportunistic mail room hackers? Every time you read "the cloud" you should substitute "someone else's computer" for it. Reply
lloydwatkin - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkFrankenstein's monster </pedant> :)
Agree though, there needs to be a shared memory space.
A software feature of RDP from tablet to laptop would be amazing for meetings and discussions, fired up automatically when the screen is detached.
Although job #1 when buying this laptop would be to wipe windows off an install favoured linux distribution. Reply
krazyfrog - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkAndroid Jelly 'Beam', it seems (first image). Reply
ET - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkI noticed that too. Bean me up, Scotty. Reply
MartinT - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkNo kitchen sink or microwave? Bummer! Reply
jjj - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkDecent product refreshes from Asus but this one is just idiotic. They could make an argument that the base can be the desktop for the household (or user) but it has a freaking U series CPU so their bet is on Intel's marketing fooling consumers, not an ideal strategy. Reply
abhifreeman - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkToo much! When you run out of options/creativity, you follow addition/subtraction. Might be good for consumers, but it doesn't look that great for technology. Reply
takeship - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkWhile I applaud Asus's committment to "throw everything at a wall and see what sticks" I can't imagine that this will be even close to most consumers price range. The intel chips alone have to be what, $550 combined? Reply
mudu8 - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkI like how in the first slide they can't seem to spell Jelly Bean correctly. Reply
Bobs_Your_Uncle - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkActually, they got the "Beam" part of it right. You see, the Really Big selling point on this dual CPU unit is that it's now supporting Transporter Functionality! Using this little baby while in bed, you can now summon jelly, (jam, preserves, marmalade, etc; whatever your wife insisted upon that you forgot to bring) to go with morning "Toasts"!
I apologize! Reply
flyingpants1 - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkWhy so negative? I think it's brilliant. It actually makes a lot of sense. While you're at home, you can dock it and use it as a full desktop, AND have a tablet to mess around with while you're on the couch. Combine the two and you have a laptop you can take anywhere.
I still think it's the wrong approach. Here's what I'm thinking..
Let's say the goal for the mass market convertible laptop is some sort of 800gram 11.6" Core i5 laptop, but also functions as a tablet for the casual stuff (I'm totally ignoring Atom-based full Win8 convertibles because they are too slow).
In a *totally ideal* scenario, you'd have the power of a Core i5-based laptop, AND the 10+ hour tablet battery life that comes from running an Atom (even when running Win8 desktop apps).
The end goal:
Imagine a dual-core Haswell... with a third Atom "battery-saver core" or "companion core" like the Tegra 3 has. On the same die. Instead of further underclocking Haswell, you'd just switch to Atom. Just like Windows has power management options now, you could choose to go into Atom-Only mode when in Tablet mode, or whenever on battery, or whenever you want. Reply
BMNify - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkIn a *totally ideal* scenario you'd have a laptop and a tablet. You'd choose the right sized tablet and the right sized laptop and the proper power plants and OS for each device. Sound familiar?
I've run out of popcorn watching these product announcements. If you want *totally ideal*, you need a smartphone with a Core iwhatever processor and 500GB of storage that gets 10+ hours of battery life and ships with a truly ubiquitous OS. Then you chose the tablet dock, laptop dock and desktop dock that suits your needs. Or wait 'till Google comes out with surgical implants.
However, in the real world, for now at least, me thinks seeing this thingy is a sign of desperation and Apple was right. Reply
AbbyYen - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linknow, install and run win 7 on laptop mode then It's perfect!
run win8 rt or Android with jobs switching simultaneously. say typing on words in lappy mode then unplug to show client or other department or to printing room.
run both tablet and laptop system together when on power plug stage, so u can direct switching without losing ur work. Then in battery stage, only a special program memory chip is working. store all the .docx, .xlsx etc. Once unplug, ARM chip started, read the memory chip then run the mobile office version.
(win7 mode in lappy mode because I don't touch on lappy mode.with keyboard, touch pad and mouse nearer then the screen. and also the finger mark problem. further more, xp or win7 desktop mode! metro mode is dizzy, messy, tedious, sux, faint, head pain.) Reply
gxtoast - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkWhy not just use a hypervisor, like what has been done on Xbox One? Oh, yeah. They aren't THAT tight with Microsoft, and it's not like they're... Apple. Reply
LancerVI - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkThis is a perfect solution for my wife who prefers android, but still wants to use MS office all while not sitting at a desk.
It's a perfect solution for her. Reply
andrewaggb - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkmeh. I thought it would run windows 8 or android in tablet mode/laptop mode. Give you the best of both, (some apps are only available in one or the other), but nah. It's kinda cool, but if they were just going to use the atom for android why didn't they use an arm chip instead.... Reply
LancerVI - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkMy wife could care less about those distinctions. You and I, sure, but for her purposes and people like her, who cares. Angry Birds and MS Word with a Youtube video or two are about as complex as it's going to get for that crowd, which is fine. Reply
fteoath64 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkHere Intel must have give them a great break in price of the Atom SoC since Haswell is already a default cpu used in this lappy. I figure a Tegra4 would be real cool with Android 4.2.2. Why pay additional when Intel offers FREE (for Atom only in this config) ?!. Reply
rwei - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkFirst reaction: nice!
Second reaction: wait, what? i7 AND Atom?
I'd rather take Silvermont on its own, but dang if this isn't awesome for Intel.
While those nutcases at Asus are putting these crazy ideas through their funny little heads, I'd love to see an Atom-class tablet with both W8 and Android running on a thin hypervisor. I might even buy one just for the novelty factor. Reply
editorsorgtfo - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkAll goes well until MS releases an update that borks your perfect little combo device. Of course, it'll be a "necessary security update". Then in true Android fashion *crickets* Reply
cditty - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkI like the novel concept, but I don't see it really being useful. Seriously, with Haswell and Windows 8 (soon 8.1), battery life will be fine. Also, you can just run Android virtualized if you really need it.
I think it's a neat concept, but for me, not particularly useful in the world. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Monday, June 03, 2013 - linkThis is stupid. I mean, I'm all for Android tablets and I'm all for Windows 8 PC's and hell I'm for Android PC's and Windows 8 tablets. (Though not RT tablets.) But the thing is, I just don't see why you'd want to change interfaces when you made it a tablet from a PC.
Hell, this makes Windows 8 even worse. You use it as a tablet, it's Android. You use it as a PC (laptop/desktop), it's Windows 8 with all its frankenstein stitched together Windows and Metro. So now Asus has stitched Android vaguely beside Windows 8, which itself was just Windows and Metro stitched together.
I can hear some Asus tech screaming, "It's alive! ITS ALIIIIIVE!!!"
Just because you CAN do a thing does not mean that you MUST do that thing. Reply

SANFORD, Fla. - The father of Trayvon Martin, the teen shot and killed by a self-appointed neighborhood watch leader in Sanford, said on Friday that he feels "betrayed" by police, and the family wants the FBI to take over the investigation.
Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, the parents of Trayvon Martin, spoke to the media at attorney Natalie Jackson's office on East Washington Street in Orlando. They were joined by Mary Cutcher, and her roommate, who are witnesses in the shooting.
"I'd like to thank these women for coming forward and trying to get justice for our son, Trayvon," Tracy Martin said. "We're not getting any closure, any answers, and it's very disturbing. As a father, I'm hurt. I feel betrayed by the Sanford Police Department."
Sanford police Sgt. David Morgenstern said the department stands behind its investigation but welcomes another agency "to scrutinize and review" the case.
The family has told Local 6 they are going to Sanford Police Department to listen to the calls on Friday night. Police said they plan to release the controversial calls after the family listens to them, but it's not clear exactly when.
Also on Friday, U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown called for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the case.
Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot and killed last month by neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman, 28, while Martin was visiting family in Central Florida.
Sanford police said on Feb. 26 just after 7 p.m., Zimmerman was on neighborhood watch and reported seeing a suspicious man walking down the street. Martin, who was unarmed, was on his way home after buying a bag of Skittles and a drink at a nearby convenience store. Police said the two got into a scuffle and Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest.
Zimmerman was questioned by Sanford police but has not been arrested. Police said Zimmerman told them he acted in self-defense. Police said they had no probable cause to arrest him, and the case has been sent to the state attorney's office.
"I don't understand why this man has not been arrested," Sybrina Fulton said.
Mary Cutcher said she heard the shooting, went outside and saw Zimmerman with his hands on Trayvon Martin, who was lying face down.
"We know it was not self-defense," said Cutcher, who added that she repeatedly tried to get in touch with a police detective, who later failed to show up for a meeting and interviewed her over the phone.
Cutcher said she started calling police after she learned that Zimmerman had not been arrested.
Cutcher spoke to an Orlando TV station earlier in the week, and Sanford police issued a statement saying that her account differed from what she told officers.
"I'm not looking for any kind of recognition," she said. "I did the interview because I was not getting a response from police."
Jackson says Cutcher was criticized by the Sanford Police Department for contradicting the department's version of the events of Martin's death.
According to Jackson, witnesses said they heard Trayvon Martin pleading for his life, but Zimmerman still shot him.
"We have a murderer on the streets, walking around," Jackson said.
Jackson said race played a role when Zimmerman profiled Trayvon Martin, but the shooting occurred because he acted as if he had authority.
Jackson also claimed that the Sanford Police Department is protecting Zimmerman, saying he's "one of their own."
Local 6 legal expert Mark O'Mara said the shooting could be legally justified because of the "Stand Your Ground Law," which was approved in 2005 in response to hurricane looters. The controversial law allows citizens to act in self-defense if they feel someone is about to greatly injure them.
"People call it the license-to-murder statute because it doesn't require actions to avoid the confrontation," said O'Mara.
O'Mara said that when there are no witnesses, it's basically Zimmerman's word without any contradiction.
"If you can present evidence or at least your own testimony that (you) felt in fear that he was going to commit great bodily injury or death, that is what kicks in the statutory protection that you're allowed to respond with deadly force," O'Mara said.
Zimmerman's father, Robert Zimmerman, delivered a letter to the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, saying the way his son is being depicted in the media is cruel and misleading. He also says his son has received death threats and moved out of his home.
Robert Zimmerman says his son didn't instigate the encounter and is not racist.
The letter says George Zimmerman is Hispanic and grew up in a multiracial family, so "he would be the last to discriminate."

Biologics block harmful responses from the body's immune system that lead to the symptoms of
juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Biologics are used to treat moderate
to severe JIA symptoms and to prevent joint damage,
particularly in people who have had side effects or poor results from
methotrexate treatment.
Biologics are usually used after
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs),
corticosteroids, and methotrexate have been tried. A biologic is often used at the
same time as these other medicines, especially to treat
polyarticular JIA and extended oligoarticular JIA.1
Biologics may also be tried when eye inflammation has not improved after trying other drugs such as corticosteroids and mydriatics.
Etanercept is most widely studied for juvenile idiopathic arthritis. In general, biologics improve symptoms, help prevent bone and cartilage damage, and may even help with healing.2
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine your child takes. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has:
Call your doctor right away if your child has:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Warnings about serious side effects of biologics have
been issued. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the drug's
manufacturers have warned about:
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.

Unfortunately, though, Orson Welles ghost (as channeled through Jessie & Amelie) only wanted to talk about the neoconservative force that is Judd Apatow; Comedy Central's lukewarm roasts; people who are angry about people who are famous for being famous; and seasonal use of Activia yogurt.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/3/2013 (1630 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Winnipeg-based criminal organization was rolling back much more than just the rim as part of an complex plot to defraud Manitoba ratepayers.
Now two major players have admitted to their roles in the largest vehicle-insurance fraud case in provincial history.
Quincy Adurogboye, 33, pleaded guilty to nine fraud-related charges on Thursday, while Norman Beardy, 44, copped to three offences. Both men will be sentenced later this year.
Lawyers told court Adurogboye will be ordered to pay Manitoba Public Insurance more than $100,000 restitution, while Beardy is on the hook for $35,000. The Crown will also be seeking jail for both accused.
Brian Smiley, a spokesman for MPI, told the Free Press this represents a substantial victory for all Manitoba drivers.
Police began Project Rollback in 2005 after learning dozens of used cars with high mileage were being purchased in Ontario on the cheap, brought to Manitoba and altered to reflect greatly reduced odometer readings, which increased their value. The accused would then make phoney "sales" to each other, insure the vehicle at the increased price and then stage a series of accidents and thefts in order to cash in.
More than 30 accused were eventually arrested in 2009. Only a handful remain before the courts, as the rest have now pleaded guilty and been sentenced. More than $60,000 in restitution has previously been ordered by the courts.
In one example of the scam, the organization purchased a 1999 Lincoln Navigator that had 179,000 kilometres on it, only to be magically reduced to 95,000 km. The group then staged a car crash, and one participant made a claim to MPI. She was given a $2,400 payment for repairs.
Weeks later, the woman reported the same vehicle had been stolen and was eventually given a $16,600 settlement from MPI.
In reality, the vehicle was worth far less with its legitimate odometer reading. And it hadn't really been stolen, just hidden away.
Further incidents of the fraud will be presented at the sentencing hearings for Adurogboye and Beardy.

DxOMark Score for lens with cameraSensor Insight
Here we detail the motivations behind the DxOMark Score and the rationale for its conception.
Motivation behind DxOMark Score for lens with camera
A camera consists of many different components. Because so many factors related to all these components have to be taken into account, it can be difficult to choose between models. To make it easier for photographers to choose, we wanted to design an objective numerical quantity to globally represent the average image quality a given camera can achieve.
To fully embrace the complexity of the camera, however, it is necessary to go back and forth between several levels of detail for different parts of the system, analogous to looking at something under a microscope. When looking inside a camera, for example, the data in lens with camera and in camera sensor reveal many details about their respective target components. Taken together, they provide a more global view of the camera's image quality performance.
Information Capacity
The idea of DxOMark Score is to quantify the amount of information captured by the camera, taking into account all the optical aberrations and sensor characteristics measured by DxO Labs. This quantity is called the information capacity of a camera.
Information capacity can also be defined as the product of the number of effective bits sampled at each position and the effective resolution of the camera. It is expressed in Megabits (Mbits). The higher this number, the better the camera.
These two numbers (effective bits and resolution) depend on the characteristics of the camera, including such parameters as focal length and f-number, along with the amount of light coming into the camera.
To compare different kinds of cameras, we choose a low-light use case in terms of illumination and exposure time. More precisely, we choose the scene illumination to be 150 lux and the exposure time 1/60s. Such conditions were chosen as we believe low-light performance is particularly important for today's photography and it is also important for photographers to know how well lenses perform at widest aperture.
Information capacity is an open scale. However, for a given sensor, it is usually about twice the sensor pixel count.
How do camera characteristics influence information capacity?
Optical aberrations depend on image field position, which means that information capacity is first locally computed then summed over the whole image. Optical aberrations such as blur, lateral chromatic aberration, distortion (barrel and pincushion), and lens shading all influence the quality of the signal at each point, and result in reduced information capacity.
In addition to optical limitations, a camera's T-stop setting determines the amount of light that crosses the optical system and eventually reaches the sensor. In general terms, less light means a noisier (or less useful) signal. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) determines the number of useful digital values needed to describe the luminance at each point.
A final characteristic to consider is the way each sensor "sees" color, or its spectral response. These responses are different from one sensor to another, and are also different from the response of the human eye. In order to output an image with similar rendering, independently from the sensor, the color space of the sensor is mapped to a standardized color space (as sRGB for instance). This mapping usually enhances noise, and therefore decreases the information capacity.

In-home Telemonitoring
Henry Ford Allegiance Health's Telemonitoring program uses telecommunications and information technology to provide health care for patients who have a chronic illness—such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension and diabetes—in their own homes.
This technology allows patients to monitor their own pulse, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and blood oxygen level (as specified by their physicians) on a daily basis and send the results electronically to Henry Ford Allegiance Health. With a combination of daily communication and scheduled home visits, Henry Ford Allegiance Health helps patients with chronic illnesses avoid medical complications that can lead to re-hospitalizations or emergency room visits. The patient's physicians are kept informed of their health status with timely updates.
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Henry Ford Allegiance Home Care offers a complete range of home care services to help patients heal in the comfort of their own homes. This includes in-home physical therapy and rehabilitation services that may be included as part of the physician's plan of care.
Henry Ford Allegiance Home Care provides:
- Physical therapy – assessment and treatment of motor function limitations, education regarding assistive devices and exercise
- Occupational therapy – assessment of impaired functions, instruction on performing activities of daily living and use of adaptive equipment
- Speech therapy – assessment and treatment of disorders affecting communication and swallowing
Services may be added or changed as the patient's condition changes and the physician alters the plan of care. Henry Ford Allegiance staff will keep patients informed of any changes in care and the frequency of home visits.
Medical Social Work
During illness and recovery, patients and their families may be overwhelmed with emotional and financial issues. Henry Ford Allegiance Home Care provides support dealing with these issues and acts as an advocate and resource.
Our licensed social workers help patients and families identify available community resources, help them understand Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, and assist them with long-range planning.

The End of an Era in New Hampshire
Posted: May 3, 2007 10:32am ET
Due to a computer malfunction, this blog did not go live until May 3.
Live Free or Die. That's the motto on New Hampshire's license plates. I was there last weekend for another round of soccer in another place far from home and spent another night in another non-descript motel within spitting distance of an Interstate highway. After years of transporting our soccer-playing daughter around the Northeast and Middle Atlantic, that part of our lives is drawing to a close as she heads off to college this fall.
But my wife and I had one last weekend to enjoy with her and her team. We have learned one thing over the years—skip the "continental" breakfast at the motel, and find a diner where the locals gather for a hearty, no-nonsense breakfast.
That's easier said than done. Finding such a place has gotten harder and harder. Drive down any business strip in any town in America and the breakfast choices range between the drive-thru at McBurgerWendyKingDonalds to Dunkin' Donuts, or these days if you're really lucky, a Starbucks that has good coffee but usually no hot food. You can't count on the Chili's-Applebees-Whatever-Chain restaurant universe; they usually don't open until 11 a.m. We drove by most of those chain outlets Saturday morning as we searched for our elusive diner. All in all, the fast food revolution has stripped the country of real roadside diners.
So, it wasn't until our second pass on an early-morning-empty strip of highway that the Honey Bee Donuts sign jumped out at us. We had driven by on the first pass because the only word we'd seen was Donuts. But right below the donut sign, the word breakfast was clearly printed. We pulled off the highway to park in front of building that looked as if it hadn't been
touched in 50 years. Well, since 1947 actually, when Honey Bee started serving breakfast. There was a row of three or four small booths, and opposite them, a serving rack for donuts. There were two loops of a counter space with stools at the back, about half them filled with grizzled men, some old and a few a little younger, and all of them apparently more comfortable leaning with their elbows up on the countertop. The walls were plastered with license plates from around the country and world, everything from Aruba to North Dakota. Of course, most were from New Hampshire.
As we sat down, I realized, people were... SMOKING! I turned to my wife and said, "Hey, I guess New Hampshire still allows smoking in restaurants." She smiled, and pointed to the New Hampshire license plates on the walls, and said, "Live free or die." Maybe it was my jaded Cigar Aficionado cigar-testing nose, but I hadn't even noticed the smell of smoke when I walked in. And, I doubt very seriously that Honey Bee had anything other than the most rudimentary form of ventilation system, although there was a grease-stained air duct in the center of the ceiling. At least three or four people were having a cigarette with their morning coffee.
We had eggs and hash browns and toast, and a passable cup of coffee, although the waitress was a little skeptical when we asked for milk instead of cream. One gentleman came in, and sat down across from us. The waitress greeted him by name, and asked what he wanted. He didn't say anything but got a cup of coffee. A few minutes later she came back and asked if he'd decided. "Yeah, I'll have the 2-2-2." That would be two eggs, two pieces of toast and two pieces of bacon for $2.22. Yeah, it's that kind of place.
So we walked out the front door filled the glow of nostalgia from diners past, and thankful that there were still places like Honey Bee where the locals could come, have a hearty breakfast served by women who knew their names where no one was complying with some big corporation's rulebook about how often they had to remake the coffee. And, I added mentally, where they could smoke.
As we walked toward the car, now rushing to get back to the soccer team's motel to get our passengers to their game on time, I looked up at the marquee sign at the entrance to the parking lot. In big black letters, it read: Honey Bee Donuts. Smoke Free May 1. The 1 was in red, a true red-letter day, I guessed.
I moaned. My wife said, "Do you want to go back in to talk to them?" I knew I didn't have time, but at the same time, I also didn't want to hear the litany of disgust about what was clearly another step toward a bland, over-regulated world. Even in the Live Free or Die state. Too bad. I was sure the Honey Bee would still there next week, but after 60 years, I thought, it won't be the same.
Well, it turns out I was wrong about it being there next week. After getting back to desk in New York, I did a little research and found the owner's name. I called Phil Englehardt up Tuesday morning, May 1st, and told him my story; in the background I could hear the sounds of the restaurant's clinking plates and loud laughter. He laughed as I asked him the question about going smoke-free. "I knew that was coming," Phil Englehardt said. "But on May 2nd, the Honey Bee is going the way of the dinosaurs."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Englehardt is closing the donut/breakfast shop today. "Honey Bee is my love. I've been here 15 years, but it's just a financial decision. I can't keep funding it," Englehardt said.
Why smoke free on the last day? "My waitresses, some of whom have been here longer than I have, and make more money than I do from Honey Bee, have wanted to go smoke free for a long time," Englehardt said. "So, I'm giving them a day before we close. It's already a day of hell. My customers are going to kill me…but it's also a very sad day for me personally."
So, not only was May 1 a red-letter day, but on May 2, the Honey Bee will be no more. Hang out the black flags. And, for everyone who enjoyed a cup of coffee and a cigarette, or as Phil said, even a cigar from time to time, it is just one more place gone, one more place lost where you could enjoy a
smoke and the camaraderie of a small town.

Egypt's Consumer Confidence Index showed a 16 per cent drop in December 2012, reflecting greater uncertainty about the future of the economy. [2]
The index, published monthly by the cabinet's Information and Decision Support Centre (IDSC), dropped to 83.2 points in December from 98.8 a month earlier. The neutrality level is at 100 points.
The three sub-indices that make up the Consumer Confidence Index all dropped in December. The economic-policy confidence index saw the sharpest fall out of the three, losing 29 per cent.
Only 8.5 percent of Egyptians believe the economic state of Egypt has improved in December 2012 over the same month last year. Expectations of improved economic and living conditions for both individual households and the society as a whole fell by 10.1 per cent, but remained the highest among other indices.
The family income index also dropped by nearly 11.4 per cent in December, with only 20.1 per cent of those polled believing that the time was suitable to purchase durable goods, compared to 24.4 per cent in November 2012.
Egypt's economy is currently going through turbulent times. The Egyptian pound lost some six per cent of its value since the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) introduced a new currency regime on 30 December. Net foreign reserves, which the CBE used throughout the past two years to protect the pound from sharp devaluation, have fallen to critical levels.
Meanwhile, Egypt was asked to delay a much needed US$4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) [3] on 11 December after President Morsi issued a tax increase on 9 December, then withdrew on the same day for fear of popular backlash. The tax hikes were part of the government's reform programme attached to the IMF deal. [4]

You probably saw that Andre "Bel Biv" Deveaux signed with Florida last night, which is ironic since his last game as a Ranger was against Florida when he elbowed Tomas Fleischman(n?) and got himself suspended.

In a relief for a majority of Mumbai commuters, Bombay High Court directs BEST bus workers' union to call off its flash strike and report to work immediately
Hours after BEST drivers and conductors today went on a flash strike here against the new computerised scheduling system and left thousands of commuters stranded, the Bombay High Court has directed the protesters to call off the stir and report to work immediately.
Justice N M Jamdar, who was hearing an application filed by the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), directed the transport union to ask all its members to report to work immediately and call off their strike.
BEST had approached the High Court stating that despite an order from the industrial court directing for implementation of the new computerised scheduling system, the employees went on a flash strike bringing the city to a halt and affecting several commuters and students.
"You (BEST employees) submitted yourself to the procedure of the industrial court and hence have to now comply with the order passed by that court," Justice Jamdar observed.
The industrial court had earlier stayed the new duty schedule for the conductors following which BEST appealed to the High Court.
On March 28, the High Court cancelled the stay order and directed the industrial court to hear the matter expeditiously.
On March 29, the industrial court approved the proposed duty schedule and directed for it to be brought into effect from April 1.
While the BEST employees want the earlier manual system of scheduling to continue, BEST said the new computerised scheduling system will optimise the use of workforce, ensure better frequency of buses and save Rs 32 crore for the undertaking annually.
Bus services were paralysed since early morning in the metropolis, affecting office-goers and school children appearing for examinations the most.
Commuters who depend on buses were stranded and many had to opt for autorickshaws for travel to place of work.
Around 40 per cent of the staffers had accepted the new scheduling system and even filled up forms, sources said. However, unions decided to go on flash strike as they are opposed to the 12-13-hour work schedule for 20 per cent of the staffers and want the earlier manual system of scheduling to continue.
The BEST runs a fleet of 4,200 buses and ferries 40 lakh passengers in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Mira Road daily.
It has around 22,000 drivers/conductors who ply buses on more than 500 routes daily.
Meanwhile, BEST officials said the worker's union was pressurising the employees to refrain from reporting for duty unless their demand of manual scheduling of their work was met.
"BEST had initially started the use of computerised software in two bus depots and then increased its use to ten depots. Only after we were satisfied did we initiate the software's use in all depots," BEST spokesman Hanumant Gofne said, alleging that the union was misleading the employees.
The duty hours of the employees would not exceed eight hours a day, he stated.
The employees had even taken the matter to court and the new schedule came into effect after being approved by the industrial court on March 29.
In an untoward incident today, two bike-borne men pelted stone on the front glass of BEST bus no 276 from Kandiwali (W), going towards Charkop sector 8. The driver got injured in the incident and was taken to hospital. ACP Malvani had reached the spot.
Some of the buses have started working as per the new plan, out of which one such bus was targeted by the miscreants. Police have registered an offence. "We are also providing protection to those buses which are plying on the road," said a police official.
>> 26,000 BEST bus drivers and conductors on strike
>> 3500 buses ply on road on daily basis in Mumbai
>> Only 20 drivers and 17 conductors on duty today
>> Drivers and conductors are opposing the Trapeze software which schedules and plans the bus routes and their duty hours
>> Duty time will increase from 8 hours to 12 hours as per the new schedule
12 hours of work day is not sustainable for drivers and will result in more traffic accidents.
12 hours a day is not sustainable for anyone. Those officers in boardrooms dont know what it is to be on the field for 8 hours itself. In fact the police also need to do something about their 12 hour shift. Even police work for 12 hours and spend another 3-4 hours traveling. Unsustainable. In fact in a city like mumbai, working hours should be less than 8 hours
The strike isjustified , as they have a right to live life also! Unions and the BEST management should take it into consideration that the public is held at ransome here , by the halting of its most wanted communications. Traveling as it is has become a hazard in mumbai city , and with flash strikes crippling it every now and then it becomes more discerning to travel. N.j kudalkar mira road

Stowa Antea 390
Besides Switzerland, Japan and Germany are watch powerhouses as well. The later makes some amazing timepieces in both the tool and dress categories. These Stowa automatic watches have bled hands, a classic no frills dial and a date at the 6'oclock region rather than the classic 3. A simple silver case with sharp lines and a classic black leather band rounds out what I'd call a perfect segway piece for the newcomer.

Most beef producers have heard the phrase "you can't improve what you don't measure" over and over again, but many producers still haven't taken advantage of how record keeping can improve their profitability. If a producer doesn't know they're spending thousands of dollars on feed and not realizing increases in gain, or that they're repeating vaccinations which have already been given, they might not realize the profits that might be slipping away. Another added benefit of record keeping is consumer piece of mind. Today's beef consumer wants to know more about where their food comes from and how that animal was treated. Record keeping is very important in helping us tell our beef story to the consumer. Producers may even realize additional profits from age and source verification programs as a result, or producers willing to pay premiums for local beef.
The best place to begin a record keeping system is with the background of calves as arrive on the ranch. If a group of calves is purchased the first piece of information recorded should be as much of their past history as can be provided. This may have a big impact on how you handle the cattle. In addition to the place of origin of the cattle, any known genetic information, such as sire breed or the predominant breed of the cowherd, should be recorded. Any known EPD information from sires should also be recorded as well. Previous management and nutrition should be documented as well. It is important to know the health program: vaccinations received and when, treatment and illness information, as well as previous implant strategies. In addition, any age and source-verified program documentation should also be added to each group of calves' files.
The next step in the development of a record keeping system involves identification of each animal. Individual animal identification is important for maintaining health and treatment records. Often cattle may have been previously identified, and individual ID may be as simple as adding previous tag numbers to your files. There are many options for individual animal ID, and it is important to choose the form that best fits the needs of an operation. If facilities or time are not available for identifying each animal, at minimum, animals receiving antibiotics or other medications with withdrawl times should be identified. This is important to be certain that those times are adhered to. This may be as simple as adding a paint mark or ear notch to treated calves.
Health is another area important to record. These management records can be obtained for both groups and individual animals. For each group of cattle, receiving and processing dates should be recorded. Along with each processing date, products administered, dosage, location, and route of administration should also be recorded. It is also a good practice to record lot numbers for each product administered. Individual records should also be maintained for calves receiving individual treatments. In addition to the product and date, the symptoms that lead to treatment should also be recorded. This may prove important if similar symptoms are noted in the future. It is always important to maintain a relationship with your local veterinarian to ensure proper treatments are given in the correct dosage.
Nutrition and performance records are often overlooked in the record keeping plan. These records may be most vital to improving the profitability of an operation. It is important to have an accurate way to measure performance and to record in and out weights for each group of calves. Ration ingredients, nutritional value, and amount fed are also important to record. From these gains and feed conversions can be calculated, as well as break even prices. The Mississippi State University Extension Service recently released an app that can be used to calculate break even prices and cost of gain. The app is quick and easy to use, and requires a minimal number of inputs, and is available for free download on iTunes.
Choosing a system to maintain records is almost as difficult as deciding which records to maintain. There are numerous options available ranging from very high tech to very low tech. Numerous companies, breed associations, and Extension programs offer computerized record keeping systems with a wide range of difficulty levels and options. Many producers opt for pocket record books or other forms of written records. Whichever record system you may choose, it is important that those records are backed up. While pocket record books are convenient to take records in the field, they are also very easy to forget in a pocket before it goes in the wash or drop into a mud puddle.
Perhaps the most important thing to remember when determining which records to keep and the system to keep them is to choose records that are relatively easy to accurately maintain. If a system or records are too cumbersome or difficult, it's unlikely that they'll be maintained for a long period. While starting a record keeping program from scratch, or organizing the traditional rancher's filing system (aka the dash of the ranch truck) might seem daunting it surely will pay dividends in the end.

In the 1950s, a South African chemist, Graham Wulff, began working on his own skin cream, looking for a solution for his wife Dinah. The ordinary skin care products available to women at that time were incredibly heavy and left the skin feeling greasy after application. Working with Dinah, Graham perfected a lightweight, silky moisturizer with a pleasing, feminine fragrance. By 1959, Graham was marketing his formula not only in South Africa, but also in the United States and Europe, marking the start of the Olay skin care brand.
Today, Olay skin care products remain a favorite among women around the globe. The collection has expanded from the original moisturizer to a full collection of skin care formulas, including cleansers, exfoliators and treatment products. With four highly effective lines, the collection offers something for every skin care need. The brand has a strict quality policy and conducts more than 400,000 quality tests on its products per year, ensuring their purity and safety. If you're looking for affordable solutions to your biggest skin care woes, the Olay collection is the answer.
One of the most familiar and well-loved skin lotions, Olay was originally formulated by a chemist named Graham Wulff in the late 1950s as a gift for his wife, Dinah. She had long been dissatisfied - as were many women at the time - with the available skin products; the thick, waxy formulas were uninspiring and not always effective. The Oil of Olay beauty fluid created by Wulff was a creamy liquid that spread smoothly on the skin and was quickly absorbed. The attractive pink shade and pleasant, mild scent also contributed to making Olay one of the great favorites of skincare lotions.
Since the year 2000, the name has been changed to just Olay and, as part of the Procter and Gamble family of products, has been expanded into an entire line of skin care formulas. While moisturizing and rehydrating are still a part of Olay's mission, other lines of products have also been developed, including firming serums, cleansers and peels, to provide a full range of options for skin care. The Olay products are also known for their purity and safety - yet the brand is famously part of an ongoing commitment to avoid animal testing. Using alternatives to the use of animals in research and testing, the makers of Olay products have reduced the use of animals by 99% - except in the very rare cases when it is necessary to meet government-mandated obligations. After more than 50 years, Olay continues to provide skin care needs for women around the world.
Beauty begins with healthy skin that you love. Create that healthy skin with Olay Products. Even if you have visible signs of aging on your face, such as fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, or sun damage, you can reverse it. Olay features a line of products that fight signs of aging, creating radiant, healthy skin. Three lines, Pro-X, Regenerist, and Total Effects, include dozens of products that cleanse, moisturize, and pamper your skin. These products can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and eliminate puffiness, redness, and skin discoloration. Olay Products also include cleansers and exfoliators as well as eye and lip products.
Olay Products, backed by a team of beauty researchers and scientists, offer long-lasting results that can give you a youthful glow year after year. Trust this team of skin care experts with your most important body part, your skin. Choose Olay Products, and discover your healthiest skin yet.
Choosing a reliable, trusted leader in skin care can result in radiant, healthy skin. Turn to Olay Products for all of your skin care needs, whether you want to repair previous damage or reverse inevitable signs of aging on your face. No matter your need, you will be satisfied with Olay Products.
Skin discoloration can be challenging to fight. With Olay Pro-X Discoloration Fighting Concentrate, you can fade the appearance of age spots and brown spots caused by overactive pigmentation. The formula's Vitamin B3 simultaneously decreases the appearance of wrinkles and discolored spots, reduces redness and sallowness, and boosts your skin's elasticity. This formula also hydrates your skin and helps to prevent melanin production, which can decrease the likelihood of hyperpigmentation. Use this treatment twice daily to enjoy more balanced, younger-looking skin.
The delicate skin around your eyes can give away your age thanks to fine lines and wrinkles. Olay Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex helps fight signs of aging around your eyes, restoring the area to its optimum appearance. This complex reduces fluids around the eye area, which are responsible for dark circles and puffiness. Peptides stimulate cell growth, reduce wrinkles, thicken skin, and repair discoloration and sun damage. Vitamin B3 improves your skin's elasticity, making you look noticeably younger. Apply this complex in the mornings and evenings for maximum results.
You aren't stuck with deep wrinkles forever. Olay Pro-X Deep Wrinkle Treatment fights the deepest wrinkles, penetrating your skin's surface and fighting wrinkles to uncover your healthiest, youngest-looking skin. Retinyl Propionate protects your skin from sun damage and irritation while repairing previous damage. Vitamin B3 reduces wrinkles, skin discoloration, and redness while boosting your skin's elasticity. Peptides reduce the depth, length, and volume of your wrinkles, making them less noticeable. As a result, you'll enjoy younger-looking skin.
