Crono - Thursday, October 24, 2013 - linkOnce you go Black... you realize that Nokia has done a good job with their software as well as their hardware, and has provided an overall polished experience on their phones and now tablets. Also, you don't go back. :D Reply
FwFred - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkWould have loved to see 8.1 x86 rather than RT. Microsoft is already making a good (for RT) tablet. I think a top tier HW maker like Nokia would clean up with a Z3770. Reply
Laxaa - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI'm guessing this was to far into development to switch over to x86. I'm also guessing development started a bit before the MS deal. But a Bay Trail version would have been nice. Reply
Visual - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkThere will be plenty of Bay Trail options from other brands, while RT is nowhere to be seen. So I'm glad they are adding competition where there was none.
You call MS's RT good, but it is not good at least in terms of pricing. Even less so in terms of accessory pricing. There needs to be a RT option that is priced below the Bay Trail alternatives. Unfortunately now that Nokia is MS's bitch, I doubt their pricing will differ... Reply
crispbp04 - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI have a surface 2 and surface 2 pro on my desk right now. RT has a bright future.
RT 8.1 provides the most synonymous experience to the existing Lumia line, and it is not subject to the same risks as full windows 8.1
8.1 bridges the gap and makes RT the perfect device for *most* consumers. Full Office with outlook, fully "managed" with no exposure risk to malware, Performance that is surprisingly great (given that snapdragon 800 will be on par with Tegra 4) and the likely future of a fully portable app ecosystem from tablet=>pc=>console=>phone Reply
BMNify - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkVery late article and that too a small one from Anandtech whereas the Apple event got slavish coverage with many articles and thorough analysis.
Had to follow the news about this launch on Engadget and WPcentral which provided good coverage including hands-on videos. Reply
Deelron - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkOf course the Apple event had more coverage, Anandtech was actually invited to it, they were not invited to the Nokia one (as And noted in the comments of the Apple event). Naturally actually going to an event is going to generate more content before any other outside considerations. Reply
BMNify - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkEven without attending the event they could have posted few articles on the products announced like other websites, besides Anandtech has not reviewed Nokia phones in the past eventhough they receive the review samples. The main problem is that the senior smartphone editor of Anandtech that is Brian is a PROUD windows hater.
Brian constantly mocks windows phone on twitter and podcasts. He did not review the Lumia 920 even after receiving the review sample, the same thing is happening with Lumia 1020 whereas the other devices like iphones and many Android devices get in-depth coverage.
Brian has himself admitted that he has not used Surface devices and even then he was sent to cover Surface 2 events, why can't Anandtech give objective reviews of the Windows ecosystem? There are other people in the team like Vivek and Ganesh, give them chance to write reviews of the windows phone devices as they seem quite objective in their writing and are not biased enough to constantly mock, trash the third ecosystem and put the review samples to some good use. Reply
Laxaa - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI think maybe hater is a strong word, but the Windows coverage has been severely lacking from AT lately.
I do think Windows Phone has many problems and is behind it's competitors in some areas, but Nokia does many things right when it comes to it's phones. Both directional stereo sound/rich recording and RAW(DNG) support are a big deal to me. Reply
Doh! - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI'm sure once Windows phone become a significant player in the market, they will receive the same treatment as the other major competitors. But Windows phone barely has a 3% market share in the industry. Why can't you just read the reviews at sites more dedicated for Windows phones? Reply
Laxaa - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkBecause Anandtech has good reviews and I would like to see them review a Windows Phone in the same fashion. Reply
whatsa - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI'm sorry but thats a bit silly...
AT review all types of HW even before anyone knows its market impact.
Thats the purpose of a review so people have another opinion before purchase.
I'm sure they will review the Jolla phone too
So really the new emerging tech is a far better review
than a stagnant iterative one. Reply
sorten - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkDoh!, I assume you're referring to the US market share. WP has almost 9% of the EU market and is doing quite well in China, South America and other parts of the world. If it doesn't already, it will soon have the same worldwide market share as Apple has for its desktop PCs.
I must admit I was shocked that AT didn't even mention the Nokia World news in the pipeline. How can you announce such trivial news as new graphics card drivers and not announce a new tablet and multiple new phones from Nokia? Oh well. Reply
Flunk - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkThen why do sites review Macs? Blackberries? Being a niche market doesn't make the product unworthy of review. Reply
cheshirster - Friday, November 01, 2013 - linkChrome OS sits well under 1%.
There are more people using WP, than Mac OS users in total.
Nexus 4 sales in a year are only half of Lumia 520 sales in 6 months.
WP had 4.1% globally in Q3 13. Reply
XP-E - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkIs it any wonder they weren't invited? Nokia's sent Brian at least three Windows Phone 8 devices (Lumia 920, 925 and 1020) and he hasn't reviewed any of them. Reply
Crono - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkThat is a bit disappointing, though I think some of the previews here on AnandTech are equivalent to full reviews elsewhere.
They really need to hire one or two people more to the mobile staff here, it's pretty clear that unless they can clone Brian, they are going to be backlogged or potentially have to cut a lot of review out which would be a shame. Reply
Braumin - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkYes it's been actually kind of terrible to see Brian receive the WP8 phones from Nokia, and then just outright dismiss them. I mean, that's not how a professional reviewer should do things. If the devices have faults - point them out in the review.
I read the HTC One review from Brian and it went ON AND ON about the supposedly amazing camera, which has turned out to be a piece of junk in the real world. However even Brian is using the Lumia 1020 as his benchmark smartphone camera in reviews for other phones, but he can't even take the time to write a piece even just about the camera.
Honestly I think Brian is a smart guy, but the impartiality of Anandtech has certainly been removed from Anandtech in the last couple of years. Unfortunately I find myself going to other tech sites for info now because Anandtech glosses over Windows so much, and it's important to me still.
The Windows 8.1 update is another great example. A pipeline story about it as if it's just a service pack. I can't wait to read the 20 page review of Mavericks. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI'd like to clarify some points here. Our editor team has gotten smaller in the recent months since two of our editors have left. Vivek had to quit since he now works as an engineer at Razer, which is pretty cool if you ask me. Jason Inofuentes now works for Ars Technica and is hence no longer a part of our team. Dustin is also working for Corsair now as a technical marketing specialist and while he continues to be a part of AnandTech, I'm pretty sure his time will be more limited.
I of course can't speak with Brian's mouth about Nokia reviews but in general we now have fewer people, which also means we're more limited in what we can do. Most of us concentrate on one product group (like I focus on SSDs), so reviewing something else like Windows 8.1 or OS X Mavericks would take a ton of time away from the editor's main focus. Reply
ananduser - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkGood to know...wow...Vivek works for Razer. Definitely cool. That certainly explains the slow pace of things around here. I'm pretty sure you guys are currently busy reviewing the rMBPs and the new ipads along with the latest OSX. Reply
VengenceIsMineX - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkThat argument would carry more weight if it wasn't obvious from other reviews that Brian spends significant time with the Nokia's to evaluate their cameras since that is a personal interest of his but he can't be bothered to follow through on a full review which is very disrespectful to Nokia, that they are providing hardware to someone who has no intention of reviewing it and that information gets used in reviews of other products but they aren't getting equivalent profile. If you have no intention of reviewing products because of personal preference, be upfront with your readers and manufacturers. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI love Brian in the podcasts, but yeah, lets see a review. I don't even really know from the podcasts what it is that he's missing from Windows Phone 8 that Android would give him.
In my case I use iOS for one reason only-better podcast support. Otherwise I'd go with the massively cheaper, but still awesome Nokida Windows Phones. I've gotten Nokia 520s for relatives, and LOVE them. Love the software. No question I'd love these 6" models :-O
Of the three platforms, Windows Phone has the best Office support, which is somewhat important to me, and seems competent in most everything else. I mean I prefer it no question to Android, and have no issues going back and forth between WP8 and iOS, it's just the worse podcast support everything else has next to iOS/iTunes that keeps me there... Reply
JoshHo - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkUnfortunately, as Deelron said, no one was on-site to cover Nokia World. Reply
JoshHo - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI make it a point to avoid making lots of small articles if one, larger article will suffice. Makes things easier. :) Reply
Sm0kes - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkAnand stated clearly (in the comments section) that they were not invited to Nokia World. As a result, there wasn't the same level of coverage.
Also, Windows Mobile is a tiny percentage of the overall market. Is anyone surprised this is reflected in their coverage? Calling Brian and Anand "haters" or "biased" is a bit silly.
For the record, I was life long Nokia user (candy bars through N-series sliders) and the decision to go with Windows made me an iPhone convert. If only they adopted Android...... Reply
Crono - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkWindows Mobile is a tiny percentage, but Windows Phone is an increasing percentage worldwide. Even if the percentage is around 5% globally, that's still an impressive raw number of phones. We're talking about tens of millions of handsets, and that number is only going to increase in the near future.
Nokia didn't need to be just another Android manufacturer, there are plenty of those already. Reply
Laxaa - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkNokia would probably have been burried as a Android manufacturer.
The decision to go WP only was controversial, sure, but it at least gives Nokia the chance to create something unique. My next phone will probably be either the successor to the Lumia 1020 or the HTC One(HTC Two, perhaps) Bothe the 1020 and the One have hardware that I really want, like great industrial design and the ability to record distortion free audio. The One's camera is not up to par with my tastes yet, and I do HTC goes the iPhone 5s route on the next one, 8Mpix with slightly larger pixels and OiS
But going back to your original argument, the Windows Phone marketshare is increasing worldwide. Nokia did sell 8 million Lumias last quarter, and while that might not be iPhone numbers, it's over twice the amount compared to the same quarter in 2012. And if the trend continues in 2014, I think it warrants more attention from sites like AT. Reply
Braumin - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI think your logic is flawed here. People call them haters because:
1. Nokia has sent them the last three flagship phones for review
- None of the phones were ever reviewed and they've been mocked by the main smartphone guy at Anandtech on both the podcasts and twitter
2. Windows Phone 8 has NEVER even been reviewed on this site
3. Even Windows 8.1 got a pipeline story about it being a service pack
Why would Nokia even bother inviting them? First of all, they wouldn't have went, and if they did we'd have gotten nothing out of them.
Unfortunately everyone has biases but pros need to remove those biases for their jobs. Reply
superunknown98 - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI agree. Being a Windows phone user, I would love to read in depth reviews of the hardware and software that is applicable to me from a site I trust more than any other. I also understand that any reviewer will have a personal preference for any product, maybe one they personally use, that they will have more knowledge of and updates will be more relevant to them. But that should never preclude proper coverage of other devices. Reply
maximumGPU - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkAdd me to the list of windows phone users fed up with the lack of coverage at anandtech. Reply
Myrandex - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkCount me in as well. The HTC 8X seemed to be the only real review here and while it wasn't bad, it does seem to be rather sparse compared to other smart phones that were reviewed here.
Jason Cook Reply
B3an - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkI also agree we need more Windows/WP related coverage.
Theres not many sites that do great detailed coverage like Anandtech does, and i think theres also a big user base opening because a lot of people like us want this coverage, but theres few options for us. A shame AT can't do it. Here in the UK, WP now has around 12% market. Hope AT hire someone new for this stuff. Reply
heron_kusanagi - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkAgreed. I love AT, but I am a Windows Phone user frustrated by the amazing lack of reviews from Anandtech on Windows Phone ever since the L920 launch. If AT can come up with the indepth review of the A7 and give it so much lavish praise, then I am sure that even with the OS, you can write much about the software experience. Reply
Booty - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkAdd me to the list of those sick of all the iPhone and Android love. There's obviously a bias. If you want to write in-depth reviews of phones in excruciating detail, at least make that the template for all phones you cover. I personally skip most of the crazy detail anyway, but I'd like it to be available if I ever want that level of detail. Reply
MrSpadge - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkAbout the same here. I quickly glance at over new hardware features, and check the summary for key improvements in software. But apart from that it's more like "oh good, not another iWhatever" or another "me too 'droid". Reply
SeannyB - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI seem to recall Bryan In a podcast saying that he won't bother reviewing a Windows phone until Microsoft gets serious about their OS. I would like to see an AnandTech review a Windows phone though, even if the whole review just eviscerates the thing. I don't have a good sense of the WP ecosystem etc. as compared to its competitors as of now. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI don't understand what he's talking about. He seemed to be refering to updates, but Microsoft's updating at least as fast, probably faster than iOS or Android. And that's not even relevant IMO, given Windows sometimes goes years without updates and still remains IMO the best designed OS on Earth (and certainly is at worst competitive). In other words, frequency of updates doesn't necessarily mean anything, though they ARE getting them frequently. Reply
MrSpadge - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkAgreed - what matters is the result, not the frequency of updates. Reply
VengenceIsMineX - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkI regretfully have to concur with the general sentiment being voiced here. I've been an AnandTech reader since the late 90's so I am disappointed that AnandTech has become too biased to be taken as seriously as it thinks it should. Of course Nokia didn't bother to invite you if you can't be bothered to review their products that they send you, some of which are very innovative and worth of your attention, ie the Lumia 1020. Brian's passed the rubicon of preferring a platform for technical reasons into outright bias and Brian's protests to the contrary are simply drowned out by his large volume of sarcastic barbs thrown at Windows Phone and Microsoft in general leaving an unavoidable perception of bias. Anand isn't much better, since his job consists of email, IM word processing, light photography work and posting to websites, all admirably supported by Apple products, he consistently over rates the importance of these features and underrates other platform features and capabilities.
While I highly respect Brian's energy and technical ability, he's clearly immature and unprofessional. His utter disinterest in the Surface event was quite apparent. Why on earth was he sent when he clearly isn't interested in the product or the platform? Anandtech's competition all managed hands on time and video reviews of that experience the day of the event, Verge, Engadget, Gizmodo, Tom's etc. Does anyone think Brian was actually trying to get hands on time or was he sitting in his seat messing with whatever phone project he was currently working on? I'd love to see a poll on that. Don't get me wrong, Brian is the best Android & ARM platform reviewer bar none, but he clearly should be focusing on that since his passion for that platform outweighs his professionalism. Intelligence doesn't lead to professionalism, if it did SemiAccurate would be much more worthwhile than it is.
If this keeps up into 2014, I'll regretfully be dropping Anandtech from my podcasts and weekly must read list because if it's just going to be a more technical spin factory like the Verge, then it no longer merits the lofty place it has had in my sources of information. Reply
Myrandex - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkYea long time reader here too, since old Socket 7 chipset motherboard reviews and everything :) Reply
Laxaa - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkI agree.
It's been a year now since Windows Phone 8 launched, and the preview of the HTC 8X is a close as we've gotten to a lenghty article about the devices and the system. I really hope AT and Brian takes it's time to at least look at the Lumia 1520. It packs some exciting hardware, and even if they don't agree on the software front(Windows Phone has it's problems for sure), I think it's woth a look. Reply
ananduser - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkJoshua you could have added that the Qualcomm choice amounts to LTE capability. 500$ for an LTE capable tablet is pretty good. The LTE option is at a premium for ipads and Sammy's flagships.
Another cool info you could have provided was the "assertive" display for the 1520. Definitely a cool tech that basically amounts to individual pixel manipulation to provide maximum readability in bright conditions(not to be mistaken for the basic brightness increase upon sensor detection that all other devices do). Reply
JoshHo - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkSorry, I thought it was implied when I wrote that the 2520 had a MSM part rather than an APQ part.
I'm skeptical of assertive display. Dynamic display adjustment tends to reduce display quality, not improve it. Reply
Belegost - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkWell, I wouldn't expect all readers to know that MSM parts include modems. Also, there are MSM parts existing that do not include LTE support.
Other point, the 8974 is CAT4 supporting 150Mbps and carrier aggregation (which should become useful in the US in 2014) this is the same features which SS has touted as LTE Advanced in the S4 (though I personally would not.) Reply
JoshHo - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkYeah. Thanks for the feedback. I'll add that in now.
All MSM8974 parts will have cat4 LTE support. Reply
MrSpadge - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkThe Lumia 1020 has just shipped and is still very expensive well, they deserve to get some money back for their investment). It's my current favorite if my trusty old Win Mobile 6.1 HTC fails. Yet.. with GDR3 I'd obviously want a Lumia 1020 upgraded with a more modern SOC. It wouldn't have to be a quad core, although the huge images could probably actually make good use of them. Reply
Bobs_Your_Uncle - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkI won't reiterate specific observations about WP8/WP8.1, (Win8, Win8.1, Nokia...etc.) that have been well enumerated earlier & have a demonstrably, very legitimate basis. Slighting of WP (to say nothing of outright dismissal) could possibly be understood were it not such a solid &, in a number of ways, clearly superior platform with respect to both OS & hardware.
WP was undeniably late to the post 2007 smartphone market, despite WM being early in the game. It's far from a perfect ecosystem, but it is evolving relatively quickly & significantly. Any suggestion that MS doesn't take their mobile OS seriously is either misinformed or deliberately petty.
I read every word of Brian's review of the HTC One & I consider it to be a truly masterful exercise in tech journalism (& expressed such in e-mails sent to Brian & Anand). It's really quite unfortunate that such considerable abilities & insights are focused/applied in such a non-technical/unscientific/uneven fashion. Furthermore, It's even ironic, as market research indicates the perception of Apple is waning among younger consumers; it's becoming viewed as being kinda "Hipster-ish"!
Count me among those who are quite disappointed in lack of coverage on MS platforms. Reply
JoshHo - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkHopefully I'll be able to change that. :) Reply
Bobs_Your_Uncle - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - linkQ: How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Hipster A: Oh, it's like a really obscure number that can only be arrived at though complex mathematical processes. You probably wouldn't recognize it if I told you. Reply
Hobot - Sunday, January 05, 2014 - linkFirst off, thanks to Josh for a glimpse of a review of a Nokia Wp.
Second I would also like to say that I've been a long time lurker AT enthusiast. For All the PC's I've built in recent years, I first made a research here. Really love your thorough tech reviews. But the lack of such reviews for the Lumia series by Nokia is a major disappointment. No other site makes such proffessional reviews as you guys. Hope to see a review of 1020 & 1520 soon :) Reply

Jaipur, Oct 18 (IANS) A CBI team here Friday recorded the statement of a 35-year-old woman who accused a former Rajasthan minister of raping her, sources said.
A case of rape was registered Sep 17 against former minister of state for dairy and rural industries Babulal Nagar, who had to resign.
"A CBI team, including a woman police officer, reached the woman's residence around 11 a.m today (friday) and recorded her statement for about four hours," said a source close to the investigation.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will now serve notice to Nagar requiring him to appear before the agency for interrogation, the source said.
"He (Nagar) will be quizzed in the next couple of days. It is possible that he may be arrested soon after his interrogation," said the source.
The Ashok Gehlot-led Congress state government Sep 21 recommended a CBI probe against the former minister.
The woman's statement has been recorded before a magistrate in which she alleged that Nagar's relatives were threatening her and offering her money to withdraw the case.
Nagar represents the Dudu assembly constituency in Ajmer district.

HOUSTON - A 22-year-old man was shot and killed outside a northwest Houston apartment complex.
Investigators said the victim was talking to another man inside the gates of the Fall Lake apartments, 1415 Greens Parkway, around 9:30 p.m. Monday. Police said the men were heard arguing before the shooting, but what they were fighting about is unclear.
"All I heard were gunshots -- 10 or 20 at the most," Mona Gross said.
Police said between nine and 20 shots were fired. The victim was hit at least five times.
"We have recovered a few pieces of evidence and possible video," said Roy Swainson with HPD Homicide.
When emergency crews arrived, the gunman escaped the scene in a gray sedan.
Witnesses told police the suspect and victim seemed to know one another.
Local 2 has learned the victim leaves behind two children. His name was not released.
Police ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

When I was in Appleton (WI) last weekend I stopped in at Haen Meats to see what they had. The building is pretty modern and nicely organized.
I picked up some brats, brat patties, andouille sausage, ribeyes, and twice-baked potatoes. The sausages went into the freezer but a couple of nights ago I grilled the steaks.
At first I was going to use just salt and pepper but decided to add some soy sauce and garlic powder because I hadn't seasoned any steaks that way for awhile.
The potatoes were made with bacon and cheese and I added a little more cheese and some butter. I used one of those individual American singles and in hindsight it was a bad choice because when the potato cooked it became very gooey, and while Mrs. Chicken likes it for her grilled cheese sandwiches she didn't like it in the potato.
I cooked them by color instead of checking for doneness, since I'll eat beef anywhere from raw to medium.
The beef was of very good quality and I'm looking forward to cooking the sausages. I like to check out local products when I'm away from home and Haen's was well worth the stop.

PROUD mum Sheila Bourner is treating her son and daughter-in-law on Mother's Day – rather than the other way round.
Sheila, who is 93, is throwing a small reception for Peter and Brenda Bourner, who are celebrating their golden wedding on Sunday.
"It's quite a record for a mum to share a golden wedding day with her son and daughter-in-law on Mother's Day," said Sheila.
Peter and Brenda, who wed at St George's Church, Wilton, in Taunton, on March 30, 1964, are well-known in Scouting circles.
Peter, who taught at the former Ladymead School for 35 years, held various posts with the Central Taunton Scout group, was district commissioner for Taunton, assistant county commissioner for Somerset and sat on the National Scout Board. He is still district president and archivist for the Somerset group.
Brenda, a retired bank clerk, was assistant cub leader with Central Taunton, ran the Taun-ton district Scout shop for over 20 years and was assistant treasurer for Taunton district.
Not unsurprisingly, the couple, who live in Taunton and have two daughters, first met at a Cub Scout camp.
Peter said: "It's a coincidence that our golden wedding falls on Mother's Day – it's the first time it has happened in 50 years."

Whenever I play GTA San Andreas, my game randomly crashes. I got it off of Megaupload. I think the problem is it isn't legal.
Yeah, I think you solved your own problem. Why dont you go and get a legal copy, eh? Extremofire 11:53, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
I know it's no compromise, but you can get perfectly legal (and free) copies of GTA1 and 2 from Rockstar's 'Classic collection', if you don't mind the retro feel.WikiTONY 18:06, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

HOUSTON - Another round of rain and storms moved into the Houston area Thursday, for the sixth day in a row.
A flash flood warning and flood warnings were issued for southeast Texas counties, including Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Waller, Wharton and San Jacinto counties. A flash flood watch has been issued for all of southeast Texas through Thursday afternoon.
Some parts of southeast Texas got 3 inches of rain by 7 a.m. Wednesday, and it kept falling throughout the day. Some viewers reported as much as 3 to 5 inches of rain in northwest Harris County by 11 a.m. in the Cypress, Tomball and Hockley areas.
According to the National Weather Service, some street flooding was reported in Waller and Brenham. The Austin County Sheriff's Office said there were several reports of flooded roads across the northern part of the county. The water in Spring Creek in Waller County spilled out of its banks and was creeping toward F.M. 1488 Wednesday morning, but it had a long way to go before it could create traffic problems.
More rain is expected on Thursday.
"We could certainly wake up to rain once again," KPRC Local 2 chief meteorologist Frank Billingsley said. "It's just not going to take a lot to cause problems."
Billingsley said more storms are expected to develop during the day.
"At least through Thursday, another inch of rain is a good bet," he said. "As we go into Friday, we could see another half-inch to an inch of rain across the area as well."
There is a 60 percent chance of rain on Thursday and a 50 percent chance of rain on Friday and Saturday.
"Sunday, not much relief," Billingsley said. "Forty percent chances all the way down into Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday."
Every day since Saturday, isolated locations have received more than 2 inches of rain. This is thanks to an unstable weather pattern that will continue for a little while longer. The rain is certainly welcome to many who are enjoying greener lawns and gardens, and cooler temperatures.

- " [Harry] had never been to a wedding before, so he could not judge how Wizarding celebrations differed from Muggle ones, though he was pretty sure that the latter would not involve a wedding cake topped with two model phoenixes that took flight when the cake was cut, or bottles of champagne that floated unsupported through the crowd."

Champagne is a sparkling white wine. There were bottles of champagne floating unsupported at Fleur and Bill Weasley's wedding.[1] Elphias Doge seemed to like champagne,[2] and poured Harry Potter a goblet when the latter joined him at the wedding.[1]

Pork producer margins improved more than $12 per head last week, with margins now a negative $4.57 per hog marketed, according to the Sterling Pork Profit Tracker. Negotiated cash hog prices improved $5.62 per hundredweight for the week $88.44. Pork packer margins declined $9.67 per head for the week, resulting in losses of $10.06 per head, according to estimates developed by Sterling Marketing, inc., Vale, Ore.
Cattle feeding margins declined last week as a result of higher feeder cattle prices at the time of placement and higher feed costs during the feeding period.
Cattle feeding margins declined nearly $42 per head for the week, leaving per head losses at $91 per head, according to the Sterling Beef Profit Tracker. Beef packers saw their margins improve $35 per head, leaving losses at $17 per head. The Sterling Beef Profit Quotient declined 117 points for the week and the industry profitability index is now negative 279.2.
A year ago cattle feeders sold cash cattle at $119.68 per hundredweight, resulting in losses of $101.95 per head. Last year cash hogs fetched $79.32 per hundredweight, resulting in losses of $0.60 per head.
The Sterling Beef and Pork Profit Trackers are calculated using actual weekly prices for both cattle and hogs, feed costs, beef and pork cutout prices, drop credits and other factors that influence profit margins.
The Sterling Pork Profit Tracker for the week ending May 3:
- Average farrow-to-finish margins: -$4.57 per head.
- Average pork packer margins: -$10.06 per head.

Superannuation funds and other long-term investors are handling their climate change risks with "reckless mismanagement", according to the compilers of an international climate investment index.
A survey of the world's 300 largest retirement funds, insurance companies and other big investors found "many didn't even have a climate policy and many that did hadn't changed investment decisions as a result", said John Hewson, former Liberal leader and chair of the Asset Owners Disclosure Project (AODP).
The findings paint "a disturbing overall picture of greenwash and reckless mismanagement," he said.
The AODP claims its climate index is the first of its kind to rate funds according to key measures including transparency, risk management and low-carbon investment. Only two funds were deemed to warrant a triple-A rating, one of which was Australia's Local Government Super.
"It's fair to say that the industry is in pretty dire straits when it comes to managing climate risks as a whole," Julian Poulter, AODP's executive director, said.
The AODP contrasted the involvement in the survey of Local Government Super with $6.5 billion funds under management with the $80 billion Future Fund, which it said didn't participate because of "inadequate resources".
Future Fund spokesman Will Hetherton, though, rejected the claim, saying the government fund took environmental, social and governance issues including climate change "very seriously".
"We get a lot of requests and we have to be selective, and we took the view that participating in this particular survey wasn't going to be valuable,'' Mr Hetherton said.
'Double standard'
Just 17 of more than 1000 of the world's biggest investors responded to the survey directly while the AODP compiled data on the other funds from publicly available information. The poor response came despite many of the funds regularly calling for listed companies to reveal their climate exposure to such surveys as the Carbon Disclosure Project.
"It's a double standard that can't survive for long," John Connor, chief executive of the Climate Institute and a member of the AODP board, said.
Mr Poulter said super funds and their fund managers were leaving themselves vulnerable to a "carbon re-pricing event" over the next five to 20 years – such as a further shift by China to de-carbonise its economy – that would trigger a sharp revaluation of fossil-fuel holdings and other exposed investments.
Nobody will be able to stock-pick their way out of climate change
"We don't know how a low-carbon economy will occur but we do know that when it does, it's likely to produce a tipping point that will resemble the sub-prime crisis," Mr Poulter said, referring to the US debt crisis that sparked the Global Financial Crisis.
"Nobody will be able to stock-pick their way out of climate change."
Australian firms accounted for seven of the 17 respondents to the survey, including Care Super, Australian Super and NAB staff super.
"If you think there's even a 20 per cent chance of a climate change repricing event in the 2020s occurring, you need to plan for it now," Mr Poulter said.
"We don't know what shape the repricing event will take around climate change, and we don't know what's going to trigger it, but we do know it's coming and so do the funds."

So I was in my team's staff meeting a few weeks ago, and all of a sudden, I was wondering about my teammates birthday. To me, birthday is important and I would feel bad if someone had a birthday I didn't know about. The least I could do is to congratulate them. Well, after asking around, we all found out that there are 3 May's babies within less than a week from each other, it was my boss' and two of my teammates'. So I decided to make them a cake.
|9" and 6" version
Chocolate is always a safe bet, and when I thought of what chocolate cake I wanted to make, I remember this cake. As you would have probably guessed, for those of you who are a fan of Mr. Sugino, you would probably immediately recognize this cake. This is his most famous cake that won him a pastry championship back then and it is also the cover of his book. I made this cake once before, here, for my coworker, and I thought it tasted amazing despite the number of components this cake has, also this is got to be one of the longest cake (time-wise) I've ever made. Besides, I've been wanting to remake this cake since I didn't get to taste it so much last time.
Sevarome pistachio paste. I have heard so much about this paste and the only thing blocking me from getting it in the past, is the price. With the shipping, it costs me well over $85 for 1kg of the paste (yikes!). It took a lot of deliberation for me to finally hit the "Submit Order" button. It hurts a little, but also excited at the same time.
The paste is different than the other pistachio pastes I used in the past. This one has no oil on the top and dryer, and it is really green and very aromatic too. When I made the pistachio mousse, it was definitely a lot stronger (and greener) compared to the one I made before, but I was not complaining. This cake took me about 5 nights to finish. Don't be intimidated by it, it is a lot of components, and the ingredients can be quite pricey too, but it is so worth it at the end. I started out with making the almond joconde, pistachio joconde, and the rest. I was out of regular pectin and had to use pectin NH for the raspberry garniture, and it was very thick that I had to mix it with some water so that it is spreadable. I strained my raspberry garniture because I've never liked having raspberry seeds stuck in between my teeth.
This is also my first time trying to assemble the cake upside down (the top side first, then flip the whole thing) and it went smoothly. I was happy with the result.
I doubled and tripled some of the measurement so that it was enough to make a 9" round cake and four individual 3" cake (3 for the birthday people and one for the bf, who is yet still in Korea). I had enough leftover to make another 6" one for people at home. The cake was very well-received and you can definitely taste the pistachio flavor this time stronger than before.

Chocolate Joconde (Biscuit Joconde au Chocolat)
70g almond powder
70g powdered sugar
70g egg yolks
30g egg whites
55g cake flour
20g cocoa powder
25g unsalted butter, melted
French Meringue:
130g egg whites
45g sugar
- Sift together the cake flour and the cocoa powder. Set aside.
- Combine the almond powder, powdered sugar, egg yolks, and 30g egg whites together and whisk until thick and pale
- On a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy and add the sugar a little at a time until it form firm peak
- Fold some of the meringue into the yolk mixture to lighten it.
- Add in the sifted flour mixture, and fold well.
- Fold in the melted butter
- Fold in the rest of the meringue
- Spread the batter into half-sheet pan (you might end up with less volume if you overmix the batter and might want to use 9x13" pan)
- Bake in the oven at 230C for 5-6 minutes
90g almond paste 50%
38g pistachio paste
45g whole egg
40g egg yolks
25g egg whites
45g cornstarch
20g unsalted butter, melted
French Meringue:
80g egg whites
50g sugar
- Mix the almond paste and the pistachio paste together in a mixer bowl
- Add the whole egg, egg yolks, and egg whites and beat until thick and pale
- Make french meringue in a separate bowl (see the chocolate joconde instruction)
- Mix some meringue into the batter, fold well
- Add the sifted cornstarch, fold well
- Add the melted batter
- Lastly, fold in the rest of the meringue
- Spread the batter into half-sheet pan (you might end up with less volume if you overmix the batter and might want to use 9x13" pan)
- Bake in the oven at 230C for 5-6 minutes
35g sugar
20g glucose
8g water
100g fresh or frozen raspberries
4g pectin mixed with 23g sugar
6g lemon juice
- Bring the sugar, glucose, and water to a boil in a saucepan
- Mix the raspberries in and continue to boil
- Mix in the pectin-sugar and boil until raspberry has broken down and soft
- Cool in an icebath and add the lemon juice
- Refrigerate until needed
- The recipe called for 50g of this jam
20g sugar
15g water
Boil together and let cool
Sirop d'imbibage
20g 30°B Sugar Syrup
15g water
15g eau-de-vie de framboise
Mix all the ingredients together
Dark Chocolate Mousse (Mousse au Chocolat Noir)Make this before you are ready to assemble the cake
440g heavy cream, whipped to soft peak. Refrigerate until ready
Pate a bombe:
60g whipping cream
50g sugar
100g egg yolks
200g 66% dark chocolate, melted and let cool
- Make pate a bombe by boiling the 60g of heavy cream and sugar in a saucepan
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks
- Pour the hot xream mixture into the egg yolk with the mixer still running and keep whisking until it is thick and fluffy
- Pour this mixture into the cooled melted chocolate, fold well
- Fold in some of the whipped cream to lighten it, then pour half of it into the whipped cream, fold in well.
- Pour the last half of the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream and fold.
- When I made the pate a bombe the first time, I brought the mixture to 245F (softball stage) before pouring it into the egg yolks (the classic pate a bombe mixture) and the resulting pate a bombe is thick and fluffy quickly.
This time, I just boil the cream and pour it in. The resulting pate a bombe is thinner and takes a lot longer to get thick (although not as thick as the classic preparation).
I am not sure which one Mr. Sugino uses as I can't understand Japanese, but both works fine.
130g heavy whipping cream, whip until soft peak and refrigerate until ready
20g pistachio paste
70g milk
1/10 vanilla bean seeds
40g egg yolks
15g sugar
2g gelatin leaf, softened in a cold water
- Make creme anglaise by boiling the milk, pistachio paste, and vanilla bean in a pot
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl
- Temper the yolks with the boiled cream and return it back to the pot under a low heat
- Keep stirring until the temperature register 84C
- Take it off the heat and strain (to avoid some scrambled eggs)
- Add the softened gelatin and stir until it melts
- Let cool in an icebath
- Fold in the whipped cream
- Pour the mixture into 18cm baking frame or baking pan that has been lined with plastic wrap, overhanging on the side (for easy removal)
150g water
250g sugar
100g cocoa powder
150g heavy cream
15g gelatin leaves, soften in cold water
- Combine the water, sugar and cocoa powder in a saucepan and bring it to boil
- Add the heavy cream and bring back to boil
- Take it off the heat and strain
- Mix the gelatin in and stir until completely melted
- Let cool while occasionally stirring to keep the surface to harden and make it smooth
- Cut out the pistachio joconde to 18cm square, brush one side with the sirop imbibage and place it on top of the pistachio mousse, brushed side down. Then brush the other side with the syrup.
- Once frozen, take it out of the freezer and spread 50g of framboise pepins on top
- Using a cookie cutter or fondant cutter, cut circles with diameter slightly smaller than the cake ring you will use. (I use 2.5" cookie cutter and 3" cake ring)
- Cut the chocolate joconde using the same size of cookie cutter.
- Assemble top-side down. Line a baking pan with acetate sheet and place the 3" cake rings (or any size of rings you want) on top.
- Pipe some chocolate mousse at the bottom, then place the pistachio mousse-raspberry cut out on top (raspberry side on the top)
- Spread some more thin layer of mousse, then lastly place the chocolate joconde circle on top
- Freeze until frozen and flip the cake onto a wire rack with baking sheet underneath (to catch the drips when glazing)
- Once the chocolate glaze is almost at room temperature (slightly warm but still pourable), pour the glaze on top of the cake and smooth it with spatula
- Refrigerate overnight and decorate

They need at least about 112.70 for the silver, which is definitely doable for them. But they do need to beat around 125.50 for the gold. Possible but it won't be easy.
So hard to estimate a score when they do something like Mark's slight issue with the jump combo or Amanda's hand down on the throw jump, but also have that amazing throw triple lutz. And that lift!

Flunk - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - link$675 is cheap enough that you could buy one for home if you were sufficiently annoyed with Linksys, D-Link and the other SOHO junk makers. This might even be compelling if you can pick one up used in a few years.
For business, I'm not sure that price is the biggest concern for people buying these. Reply
wolrah - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkIf you're a home user tired of the off-the-shelf stuff, why would you immediately go to something 10x the price when there's Ubiquiti sitting nicely in the middle with 802.11b/g/n for under $100, a/b/g/n for under $300, and a/b/g/n/ac for a bit more?
I'm running a pair of UniFi b/g/n units and a pfSense firewall that even with a mere Celeron 1047 is way overpowered for my 75mbit/sec of combined WAN speed. Combine that with switch costs and I'm still short of $675 for an entire home network.
Sure it's not Cisco territory, but it's still stupid expensive for a WiFi AP. Reply
kenthaman - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkI agree, after reading last year's article about Ubiquiti I bought one of their uap-lr APs and even with only 2.4GHz b/g/n it still out performs my Linksys router running DD-WRT. I'm still routing via my Linksys, but I'm offloading the wireless responsibilities to my UAP. While I'm only experiencing marginally better throughput I no longer experience signal loss which was a common occurrence before with several different h/w models.. Reply
phoenix_rizzen - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkHP ProCurve (nee Colubris) MSM460 (450 Mbps 802.11a/b/g/n, dual-radio, 3 stream) is also under $500 CDN (so should be around $300-ish US) and can be used in either stand-alone mode (where you use the web GUI on the device to manage it) or controlled mode (which requires an external controller to manage).
Why would you spend over $600 US on a device that requires using a cloud-based management interface that requires a working Internet connection to use?
Ubiquiti is even less money for the hardware, the controller software is free but requires a separate server to install on, but they are constantly out-of-stock on everything. Reply
Patrian - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkCloud management is not required. Ubiquiti and Xirrus are not even in the same class. Reply
Patrian - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkXirrus is not aimed at the home user market. They are the leader for high density having the only access points on the market with up to 16 radios all capable of operating in the 5Ghz spectrum. Reply
Patrian - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkPrice is not the biggest concern.. However, this AP is more than price.. it is also performance. The Xirrus access points allow BOTH radios to operate in 802.11ac. Cisco's fastest AP is rated at 1.7Gb/s compared to 2.6Gb/s for Xirrus XR-630 and 5.2GB/s for Xirrus 2435. Reply
Daniel Egger - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkUhm, is that cheap? The seemingly much better Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC (1.3Gbps support) is available for ~$350 here. Reply
Patrian - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkThe Xirrus APs can operate BOTH radios in AC... Everyone else only gives you one AC radio... Reply
Daniel Egger - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkErr, are you confusing concurrent operation with 802.11ac? The latter doesn't operate in 2.4GHz due to the 80MHz channel width requirement. The UniFi AP AC does support concurrent dualband operation BTW. Reply
Daniel Egger - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkActually I now see what you mean, the 2.4GHz can be switched to 5GHz operation. However I'm not quite sure why someone would sacrifice 2.4GHz operation for small advantage 2x5GHz operation in the same would give; usually it's all about coverage not maximum number of power users in a small spot. And then again you could get almost twice the amount of devices from Ubiquity plus they're 3x3 instead of 2x2. Reply
Patrian - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkUsers per radio and connections ate marketing baloney. Connect 200 users per radio and factor true throughput and you will see what I mean.
Now, would you buy a 24 port switch with half 1Gb and half 100Mb? No... why do the same for wireless? In most cases a 2.4 radio will never do more than 150mb throughput because you do not bond in 2.4 On the other hand, trading that for an additional ac radio gives you an additional 400-550mb actual throughput... this is a huge gain. Reply
L0cus - Wednesday, March 12, 2014 - linkThat's blinders-on logic. Any network engineer has had to design networks for oversubscription since they first existed. Using your analysis would imply that it would be ridiculous to assume any 24 port gig switch should also have a 24gig uplink port, of which none of them do.
The true marketing spin is that getting rid of 2.4 to boost marketing throughput numbers implies that someone only owns all 5Ghz 3x3 devices, and doesn't want to use their Kindles, or Xbox, or PS, or any devices built prior to 6 months ago. Reply
Patrian - Wednesday, March 12, 2014 - linkYou miss the scale of things. Why run GigE at all if you are willing to give 20-50 people in a room what amounts to no more than 200-600Mb/s throughput? At least your 24port switch can have multiple 1Gig or even a 10Gig uplink and has a multi Gig back. At the end of the day, your 2.4Ghz radio is no better than 75Mb/s in most cases and no more than 150Mb/s in the best of cases when your 5Ghz can do 150-250Mb/s in 802.11n and 450-700Mb/s in 802.11ac.
Also, again Xirrus APs are not made for home but primarily for high dense areas. Even still, would you want to run on a 75Mb/s connection or a 500Mb/s connection? Reply
phoenix_rizzen - Monday, March 17, 2014 - linkThis is doable if and *only if* all your devices support 802.11ac. It will still be several years before we can turn off 802.11g let alone 802.11n. Meaning, 2.4 GHz will be around for many many many more years.
Also, 5 GHz doesn't have the range and penetration that 2.4 GHz does, making it less than useful in some areas. Reply
Patrian - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkNo... not confusing. Xirrus radios are software selectable and can support any number of configurations one being both radios operating in 5Ghz 802.11ac. Reply
ThugEsquire - Friday, May 22, 2015 - linkUnlike every other vendor out there, Xirrus radios are software-programmable, so you can switch both to 5 GHz (and 11ac) on-the-fly. Really makes the long-term prospects much better than other companies in the space. Reply
Communism - Tuesday, March 11, 2014 - linkFor home users laptop with 2 gigabit ethernet ports + multiple antennas makes the perfect router/firewall/server/nas combo. Just add a switch and you're set.
anything from a core 2 duo on up should be fast enough to do all those duties at once for a home connection. Reply
Conficio - Wednesday, March 12, 2014 - linkLOL - I have dozens of laptops lying around with two gigabit ethernet ports Reply
Zerointerrupt - Friday, March 21, 2014 - linkAnd now we have our first Meraki clone... Reply
ThugEsquire - Friday, May 22, 2015 - linkHaving used both, the Xirrus is far superior to anything Meraki's got. Especially when you look at the Cloud UI for each. Reply

Description of Incident:
Three hooded men opened fire, shooting wildly at a home filled with young children in a central Broward neighborhood. BSO detectives are asking for the public's help in identifying the gunmen responsible.
At 12:27 a.m., Aug. 27, a group of armed men fired a hail of bullets at the home of Quincy McGee, 36, while his wife Annie McGee, 43, slept with four others, most of them young children (ages: 2, 10, 12, 18). The men used two handguns and an assault rifle during the attack. No one was injured.
The incident was captured by a nearby surveillance camera. The three hooded men can be seen arriving in the area and firing their weapons while running back to their getaway car. McGee, who was not in the home at the time of the shooting, remembered a white SUV circling the area the day before the shooting. The white SUV can be seen on the video dropping off the three shooters moments before they opened fire and parking up the block to wait for their return.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact BSO Detective Alfredo Avalos at 954-321-4544 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or www.browardcrimestoppers.org. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $3,000 for information that leads to an arrest.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – The Saint Leo University Department of Athletics claimed its first-ever Sunshine State Conference Mayors' Cup when the final results were released by the SSC in an announcement on Thursday morning. Winners of the men's division of the gender-based award, the Lions share the top spot with Florida Southern, while Tampa claimed the title on the women's side.
Considered a Conference Championship for an entire Athletics Department, the SSC Mayors' Cup is awarded to the top-performing men's and women's programs in all SSC-sponsored sports in an academic year.
In the women's division, points are awarded based on final conference standing in cross country, volleyball, soccer, basketball, swimming, golf, tennis, rowing, and softball. In the men's division, points are awarded for final standing in cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, golf, tennis, and baseball. In each category, points awarded depend on the number of conference schools that sponsor the particular sport. In both divisions, points in soccer, basketball, and tennis are awarded based on regular-season finish.
In the men's standings, Saint Leo tied Florida Southern atop the ranks with 32.5 points each. Nova Southeastern placed third with 30 points. Lynn and Tampa tied for fourth with 28.5 points. Barry was sixth with 27.5 points, while Florida Tech was seventh with 26. Rollins (25.5) and Eckerd (19) rounded out the men's standings.
For Saint Leo, the 2012-13 men's division crown marks the program's first Mayors' Cup of any kind.
The award marks FSC's second straight men's division Mayors' Cup, as it shared the award with Florida Tech a year ago.
The two schools shared the SSC regular-season title in men's basketball. Florida Southern was also the SSC champion in men's swimming and took second place at the SSC Cross Country Championship. Saint Leo's tally was also bolstered by a runner-up finish in baseball.
Southern also registered a fourth-place showing in men's golf, fifth place in tennis, seventh in baseball, and ninth in soccer.
Saint Leo picked up points for a third-place finish in men's tennis, fourth in swimming, fifth in soccer and cross country, and ninth in golf.
First presented following the 1986-87 academic year, the award was traditionally been sponsored by the mayors of the nine communities in which SSC member institutions are located.

Many — ok, mostly musicians it seems: Paul Simon, Bono — have tried; can fashion succeed? In changing Africa's image, that is. The secretary general of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, seems to think the answer may be yes, as demonstrated by his appearance as the cover boy on this month's L'Uomo Vogue, aka Italian men's Vogue, on an issue with the cover line "Rebranding Africa," and contents devoted to the same.

This is indeed a very special post for StyleScrapbook and it gives me great pleasure to finally announce what I have been working on for almost a year!
I have been a blogger for over 3 years now and my SLR camera has become my number one accessory as I have to bring it with me to most events. I searched for a stylish camera bag for ages, but not only any bag, but something that would match my style perfectly, but I couldn't find it, that is why I decided to design one myself, so I partnered with very well known European brand Kipling and we made it happen!
We have been working on this for so long and you have no idea how happy and proud it makes me to finally be able to show you my very own limited edition camera bag for Kipling, which is my very first collaboration as a designer and I am hoping for many more to come!
This is all very surreal and exciting, so I am really looking forward to hearing your feedback and hoping that you love it as much as I do.
For those who are interested, click HERE for news about when you can purchase my limited edition camera bag for Kipling.

Make Your Own Trail Mixby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, Meal Makeovers, September 20, 2010
The sweet and crunchy combo of nuts and dried fruit makes a satisfying snack you can enjoy just about anywhere. But when you buy pre-made kinds, there's usually something in there you don't really like. The solution: Make your own signature blend in three simple steps.
Nutrition Facts
On average, a 1/4-cup serving of trail mix has about 175 calories. While these are good quality calories, they can get out of control fast if you don't mind the portions. Here's the trick: Use a quarter-cup measure as a scoop when serving yourself a handful and portion out into individual bags ahead of time for snacking on the go.
Making Your Own
All you need to do is combine equal parts of nuts, dried fruit, and a little something for extra crunch. To finish, a sprinkle of a few "bonus" ingredients. Make a big batch and store in an air-tight container for up to 1 month.
Step 1: Nuts
Nuts are a good source of hunger fighting fiber and heart-healthy fats. Choose raw or dry-roasted and unsalted nuts to avoid too much extra fat and sodium. Walnuts will give you some omega-3 fats, while almonds are packed with vitamin E and iron. Other good choices are pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts.
Step 2: Dried Fruit
Dried fruit contributes natural sweetness as well as more fiber and vitamins to the mix. Dried apricots are high in iron and dried cranberries are packed with vitamin C. Other fun choices are dried blueberries, cherries, dates, mango, pear or pineapple.
Step 3: Extra Crunch
Whole grain cereal, mini pretzels, toasted soybeans ("soy nuts") or air-popped popcorn will give you a dose of crunch to balance out the flavors and give your mix some extra texture. Crunchy foods also help relieve stress making trail mix a wise choice to fend off an afternoon slump.
Bonus Ingredients
Once you have your main ingredients, add in a few teaspoons of any of these flavor-packed extras.
- Toasted coconut
- Dark chocolate chips
- Sesame seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Granola
- Chili powder or Cajun seasoning (just a sprinkle)
Winning Combos
Try these combinations on for size:
- Raw almonds, dried apricots and mini-sized shredded wheat cereal
- Cashews, dried cranberries, puffed rice and toasted coconut
- Walnuts, golden raisins, mini pretzels and dark chocolate chips
- Almonds, dried blueberries, oat cereal (such as Cheerios)
TELL US: What's your favorite trail mix combo?

I have a group of friends, and we are going to start a softball team. Our problem is finding the right league to join. Is there anything in Astoria or Queens in general for a co-ed young professionals league?
Views: 1852
yep. Elmjack has a women's softball league
Is Elmjack competitive or fun? Is it open for anyone to join?
Hey, do you have a link for Elmjack? I'm looking for a competitive women's league
Can recommend a league called MASL. It's not very competitive, more social-oriented. They typically mix up the teams every week but you can request to play in the same game as your friends. Games are Saturday at noon or 2 in Central Park. You can read more about it here:
MASL looks interesting! I don't know how I feel about teams being split up though...
Takes a little getting used to but you'll know almost everyone in the league after a few games.
Great way to meet new people! I'll keep this league in mind...
Here's a recommendation from one of our fans on Facebook:
Jenna Marie The YMCA has a co Ed league... We play at jHs school yard on crescent and 37th ave.. They are looking for more teams. The league starts in April
how can we get more information about this?
Yes, I tried calling the LIC YMCA, and left a message. Is that the one that was meant?
ZogSports has a league that plays on Randall's Island, which is easy to get to from Astoria if you have a car or bike.

Howdy. I put border on my image and with free transform angled it 15 degrees. A Polaroid effect. The problem is when I put it at an angle the border becomes jagged. Seen here in poloriod on right. http://tinypic.com/r/fcu3qo/6. How to fix that? Thanks!
What is the file size of the image you are rotating? I find I only get that jagged look if the file size of the original is too small.
Just croped an image 180 x 180. Should I make it bigger - rotate it - then shrink it?
I would keep all file sizes / dimensions really big while you are getting the whole thing ready, and then save for web when it's all ready. That works for me, anyhow.
Ok I'll try that. Thanks Ralph!
what method did you use to put the border on? any live effect should NOT be affected much by resolution (size ) or angle ( except maybe if you dont have anti-alias on)
Pretty sure antialias is on. I just increased canvas size to create a 3px border.
If I can't get it to my liking ill just use this guys or other http://www.sluniverse.com/feedme/index.php/2012/06/world/second-life/free-polaroid-image-and-clipping-mask-tutorial/ maybe if I rotate his it won't kill it.Or here is another quality one http://stasyaus.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/blank-polaroid-frame.jpg
Makes sense now. You have a PRE MADE IMAGE, any effect you apply to such will take its toll ( this includes reducing,enlarging and rotating) Here is a link to one of my sample files, maybe it will help.
This method is resolution independent ( except for your actual, photo of course). Place your photo in the photo layer and apply the rotation to the layer group.
ya know what I think I was doing? I think I wasnt viewing it in actual pixels. Because now it looks fine which ever size I use.

The currency wars are under way again and Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega, who coined the term, is miffed.
Mr Mantega is worried that QE3 will do what QE2 did and lead to an "avalanche" of dollars hitting emerging markets, driving up prices and currencies, helping US exports and creating troubling inflation. If it prompts the Brazilian Real to strengthen, he warned of action – although he did not say what the Brazilians might do this time:
This is going to force the Brazilian government to adopt additional measures to prevent the Real being overvalued.
Brazil imposed a series of taxes and restrictions on foreign inflows over the past three years in an effort to stop speculative cash pushing up the currency, but relaxed many of them after the renewed eurozone crisis led the Real to plunge.
Still, it isn't obvious that Brazil is losing the currency war, as these charts show: Read more

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"My fiance and I fell in love with these invitations because of the beautiful trees. The invitation was simple, yet perfect to describe to our guests the feel of our wedding. The invitations turned out beautifully. I gave the Design 4 stars only because there isn't room to add much else - so the wording you see is really all that will fit (which in reality, is probably a good thing so that the invitation doesn't get too cluttered.)"
"We just received our invitations and they are beautiful. The actual invites look even better in person. We loved the purple color, but chose the oranges to fit into our fall winery theme, which it did perfectly. The cards are beautiful and we are so happy with our choice!"
"Such a beautiful design and timeless for weddings. My only feedback it that the design should have offered more automatic colors other than green and brown. While they are not our colors, they still turned out to be beautiful!"
"This is a beautiful card. The branch theme wraps around to the back. The font used is pretty and formal, but not hard to read."

Barnard H Seegmiller, 321st Bomb Group, 445th Bomb Squad,MTO
1944 — Corsica
Barnard was a quietly Heroic man, no one would have imagined that this brave man could run directly into a fire and pull a man out. This amazing feat earned him the "Soldier's Medal"... an Award so highly esteemed (and the event so freightening) that few are willing to ask what the Hero did ? A B-25 Mitchell Medium Bomber of his Squadron has come in the landing pattern wrong, with wounded aboard and gas leaking everywhere. The B-25 exploded on landing. The Pilot alone was able to get out but still in the flames was entirely helpless. Barnard caught-up to the nearest man in front of him (who had slowed down) as they neared, the flames reached out, Barnard snagged his jacket, knocking the man down and ran directly into the fire for the pilot, pulling him out and was extinguishing the flames with the jacket when the rescue crew came. Barnard had been in the maintanence section, on the other side of a hedge row when they all heard the explosion and saw the ball of fire. The C.O. Capt. Paul Cooper sat with the pilot Lt Goerge Walsh all afternoon and night and he passed in the early hours of the morning.

Men's Basketball Coaching StaffFlames Home > Men's Basketball Home > Coaching Staff > Coach Detail
Dale LayerHead Coach
College: Eckerd College ('80)
Start Date: 4/08/2009
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Liberty head men's basketball coach Dale Layer became the program's eighth head coach on April 8, 2009, returning to Liberty Mountain after previously serving as an assistant coach for the Flames during the 2007-08 season.
Layer is coming off an unforgettable year with the Flames, leading the program to a third Big South Championship and automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Despite beginning the year 0-8 for the first time in program history, the Flames persevered under Layer's guidance, going on an incredible run in the 2013 Big South Championship to punch their ticket to the Big Dance.
Liberty's journey to the NCAA Tournament received national media attention, as the Flames became the second 20-loss team in Division I history to make the field of 68. Layer's squad nearly became the first Liberty team to pick up an NCAA Tournament victory, but were edged by the North Carolina A&T Aggies in the First Four, 73-72 (March 19, 2013).
During the 2010-11 season, Layer became the first Liberty coach to earn Big South Coach of the Year honors, guiding the Flames to a second place finish in the conference standings with a 13-5 Big South play. Liberty's win total among conference opponents set a new standard for most Big South wins in a single season, surpassing the previous mark of 12.
Layer is currently in his third head coaching stint and first since leaving Colorado State in 2007. Layer came to Liberty following a successful run as an assistant coach at BIG EAST member and nationally ranked Marquette in the 2008-09 season, where he worked with the guards. Layer helped the Eagles to a 25-10 record and a second round appearance in the NCAA Tournament despite lacking the full-time services of All-American Dominic James, who was injured near the end of the season.
Layer first served as an assistant at Liberty during the 2007-08 season, helping the Flames to their best regular-season finish since winning the 2004 Big South Championship.
Layer has also demonstrated the ability to develop a player's talent, including former Colorado State center Jason Smith. The seven-footer scored over 1,500 points for Layer's Rams during his three seasons with the program, before entering the NBA Draft following his junior campaign. Due to his development under Layer's tutelage, Smith was chosen with the 20th selection of the NBA Draft's first round by the Miami Heat in 2007. His rights were later traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. When Smith graduated from high school, he was ranked as the 276th best player in his class and in three seasons under Layer, he developed into the 20th selection in the NBA Draft. In addition, several of Layer's recruiting classes at Colorado State were ranked among the top 40 nationally by various recruiting publications.
Layer has a career 333-261 record (20 years) as a head coach, including nine seasons at the helm of Queens in Charlotte, N.C. He also served as the athletics director while at the school and started the basketball program in 1989 from scratch at the formerly all women's institution. Layer's student-athletes have excelled in the classroom, too. In Layer's 20 seasons as a head coach, he has accompanied 51 seniors to be honored on senior night, and all 51 earned a college degree, a 100 percent graduation rate of all players who finish their eligibility.
After graduating from Eckerd in St. Petersburg, Fla., in 1980, Layer started his coaching career as an assistant under Jim Harley, his former coach. Before moving on to Queens, Layer spent seven of the next eight years at Eckerd except for the 1982-83 season, when he was an assistant at Eastern Kentucky.
Layer made the jump to Division I in 1998 when Ritchie McKay took the head coaching job at Colorado State and named him to his staff. During McKay's two seasons with the Rams, Layer helped lead Colorado State to the NIT Tournament in 1999, where they beat Mississippi State and Colorado, before falling to eventual champion, California.
While with the Rams, Layer had a 103-106 record, including a 17-13 mark in 2007. In 2003, Layer led Colorado State to the Mountain West Conference Championship and its first NCAA Tournament bid in 13 years, falling to Duke in the first round.
Among Layer's accomplishments, he also holds a place in two collegiate Hall of Fames. On May 12, 2011, he was inducted into the Eckerd Hall of Fame, where he still holds the basketball program's single-season assist record. Layer is also a member of the Queens University Hall of Fame, receiving the nod at the conclusion of the 2009-10 season.
Layer and his wife, the former Brenda Peterson, have three children: Valerie (29), Tim (26) and Ethan (20).

I know a great doc you should see....don't be like Jeff and wait too long.
50,000 Miles Later
TT Man
I've promised to go to a doc after the Monkey. I don't want any bad news before then...Let me know the doctor's name when I see you at the par-tay.
Thunder smash!
Was it all a dream?
Thanks. I'm trying to (foolishly?) avoid thinking of it as an achilles problem since my achilles doesn't really hurt. It's more the lump on the back of my heel that probably aggravtes the achilles insertion area now and then. Makes me walk funny (not ha ha) in the morning, but then is okay the rest of the day. It's been like that for more than a year. It bores holes in the back of all my running shoes.
Hobble Jogger
Will do, and he's not one of those "Stop Running" doctors.
Buy my wife's sea catchers
Sounds like it might be "Haglund's Deformity". .

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's lacrosse team got back to its winning ways on Tuesday afternoon at University Turf Stadium, defeating Adams State by a score of 13-4.
