I just wanted to post to thank Steve for his fine books. I find that his recipes are well suited to my family's tastes. When I want to make something that is a little off the beaten path (which is quite often), I open the Barbecue Bible. I've found myself travelling all over the greater Twin Cities area to find one ingredient for this book. It's always worth it.
When I want to know proper grilling technique for a particular kind of food, I start with How To Grill. When I want a good rub or sauce, I go to the Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades book. His books are always the first place I start.
If nothing else, his recipes are always a good starting point for me. Sometimes I make some modifications. My all time greatest moment in this little venture involves the old time favorite - hamburgers.
I used Steve's idea for putting a big slab of bacon-onion butter in the middle of the burger but then applied a rub to the outside and smoked them for about an hour and fifteen minutes instead of grilling. The butter kept them nice and moist and added a great flavor.
The greatest moment? I once got a vegetarian to not only try one, he ate two of them.

Random Numbers Seeding
From ErlangCentral Wiki
You notice that several processes are getting the same "random" number sequence. You would like each process to be receiving its own unique random numbers.
Use the random:seed function to seed the pseudo-random number generator with a new seed value.
1> random:seed(). % Default seed from process dictionary {5815,21695,596} 2> random:seed(5991,29821,991). {3172,9814,20125}
The pseudo-random number generator used in the Erlang implementation defaults to a constant value in the current process dictionary. Consequently, processes that happen to start at the same time could potentially seed with the same value. Using the random:seed function allows you to modify this default behavior.
Seeding a pseudo-random number generator sets its internal state deterministically. Seeding a generator with a particular number forces it to produce a sequence of pseudo-random numbers that is the same across runs and across platforms. This could be useful if you wish to provide the illusion of randomness.

PHIL Simkin is calling for a change of mindset ahead of today's trip to Maidenhead United (3pm).
The Dorchester Town boss has watched his side lose their last four on the road in Blue Square Bet South and is considering making changes for what promises to be another tough clash.
Maidenhead may have lost five of their last seven in all competitions but their home form so far this season has been good with six wins from nine.
Simkin told Echosport: "We have got to toughen up away from home there are no two ways about it.
"We want to get something from the game and it is possible there could be one or two changes within the squad."
When asked what has been holding his players back away from home, Simkin added: "I think it is a mindset thing and being away from their comfort zone.
"At home we are pretty decent but it has been a struggle on the road.
"We coped at Didcot Town in the Trophy but to be honest the whole run up to the game at Havant & Waterlooville on Tues-day was just chaos and what happened didn't really surprise me.
"Hopefully, things will be back to normal today and we can come away with a result."
After his side's extraordinary performance against Plymouth Argyle in the first round of the FA Cup, Simkin was hoping the same style of play would pay dividends on their travels but as yet it has failed to materialise.
He went on to say: "With the players we have available I found that is a good way to play but for whatever reason it has not quite worked out on the road.
"Defensively, we have not been quite so good on our travels and a couple of individuals, who you would not expect, do not seem to adapt away from home.
"I do know what the problem is and we have got to sort it out quickly ahead of some massive games coming up."
The Magpies were hoping to add a new forward to their ranks ahead of tomorrow's clash but the move now appears unlikely to come to fruition in time.
Simkin added: "A lot of work is going on in the background but it is probably not going to happen before tomorrow. If it doesn't hopefully we can get it sorted next week."
Danny Green will be the major absentee for Town this weekend after suffering a knee-ligament injury in the 4-0 defeat at Havant.
The county town outfit currently lie 13th in the table, one point above Maidenhead and just four adrift of the top three.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – There will be no postseason for the Saint Leo volleyball team, but that didn't matter very much on Saturday afternoon as the Lions clawed to a thrilling 3-2 (26-24, 23-25, 25-14, 25-21, 15-4) Sunshine State Conference win in the 2011 season finale at the deHornle Center in south Florida.
The beginning of the game could not have gone better for the hosts as they took an early 6-2 lead that would grow into a 13-6 advantage. Saint Leo (14-15, 7-9 SSC) battled back and tied the game at 17-17, which was followed by four consecutive points from the Knights. Lynn (14-14, 6-10 SSC) was able to fight off a late Lion run and earn two set points, but the Lions clawed their way back with four-straight points and claimed set one 26-24.
The second set took longer for any team to take a commanding lead until the Fighting Knights tallied a 5-2 run and went up 16-12. The points would go back and forth until Lynn finally claimed the set 25-23.
The third set started with a 6-0 run for the Fighting Knights and they never trailed the entire set. A 7-3 run by Saint Leo made it a three point game, but Lynn countered with an impressive 6-1 run to put the set out of reach.
The fourth set started as an even match with Saint Leo taking an early 11-8 lead before the Knights were able to tie it at 13-13. At 16-15 Saint Leo, the Lions started to pull ahead going on a 6-2 run to make it 22-17 and pushed the advantage to a fifth set.
The final set of the match began with an 8-0 Saint Leo run before Lynn managed its first kill of the match. Not taking their foot off the gas, Sam Cibrone's squad continued their final attack and won 15-4.
In match that saw every single Lion earn court time, freshman Tawni Warren concluded her remarkable rookie campaign with 15 kills and a .341 average. In her final game as a Lion, senior Danielle Bletso racked up 15 kills (1,052 career, 4th all time) and held a .467 average while also adding seven blocks and a service ace. Proving the Lions' future is very bright, another freshman, Lauren Campbell, added 12 kills and 20 digs.
For Lynn, the duo of Brittany Brown and Brianna Cox recorded a combined 40 kills, Brown with 21 and Cox with 19.
With the end of 2011, the Lions bid farewell to three seniors in Bletso, Emily Calderon-Reyes and Corey Ryan. With this year's freshman class posting impressive numbers, 2012 is looking promising for fans of the Green and Gold.

way too much work...
Todays society text's well over the allotted character cap, so going through the trouble of reading and receiving text would be a PITA.
And we jailbreak to make encrypting our messages much easier.
whats that weather app he has in the time bar?
You should be more worried about the cellular companies snooping and their cooperation with the Patriot Act rather than someone looking at messages from your physical phone. WORRY ABOUT RETENTION PERIODS OF YOUR CELLULAR PROVIDER! If you're that worried get an app similar to AppLocker - or just AppLocker itself - and password protect you applications, simple as hell. Furthermore this app Black SMS is in the Apple AppStore NOT Cydia, so YES Apple DID ALLOW this.

She said: "I'm really excited that I've been named a Queen's Nurse and am looking forward in the future to improving skills and learning for nurses in the community to improve quality of care for patients."
Dianne Hogg, a community non-medical prescribing lead works from the Accrington Pals Health Centre, said: "I love working in the community and after 15 years I love the fact that I am still learning new things every day."
Lisa Cotterell, from Oswaldtwistle, is an advanced nurse practitioner for care homes in the Ribblesdale area. She said: "Nursing for me is a passion and I am very lucky to have a job which I enjoy and enables me to help others on a day to day basis."
Queen's Nursing Institute director, Crystal Oldman, said: "Community nurses operate in an ever more challenging world and our role is to support them as effectively as we can. The Queen's Nurse title is a key part of this and we would encourage other community nurses to apply. "

Katie's Healthy Bites: What is Matcha?by Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Uncategorized, October 9, 2011
What is matcha?
Matcha is finely ground whole green tea leaves, traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies.
What are its health benefits?
When you drink matcha you consume the entire tea leaf, unlike traditional teas in which the leaves are steeped. Whole leaves means more nutrient density, plus the benefits of fiber. Matcha contains polyphenols (antioxidant compounds), and research has shown that polyphenols aid in the prevention of heart disease and cancer. Drinking matcha is also believed to help relieve tension and stress, as well as improve concentration and mental focus.
Where to buy matcha?
Matcha is now sold commercially in the United States, and is available in its traditional powdered form. Many specialty food stores have begun to sell it along side their other green teas. Look for matcha with a rich green color and vibrant aroma to ensure freshness. It is slightly more expensive than traditional green teas.
Use and storage:
For optimum freshness, matcha should be stored in the freezer in an air tight container.
Matcha is brewed differently then tradition green tea leaves that are steeped. If previously frozen, it should be set out to thaw to room temperature. In all cases put the tea through a fine sieve to remove any clumps. Warm, not boiling, water is then added to the powder and whisked to a uniform consistency. In a traditional preparation, no milk or sugar should be added.
Looking to get creative? Matcha has several less traditional uses in the kitchen. You can add matcha to yogurt, smoothies even marinades or glazes. It makes a tasty and antioxidant-rich ice cream or frozen yogurt. The powdered green tea is a great flavoring tool for grains and rice and can be added directly to the cooking liquid. Matcha has been used recently as a tasty addition to baked goods like brownies and cakes as well.
Dinner Tonight:
Poach salmon in water flavored with fresh ginger, lemongrass or lemon zest and matcha powder
Do you use matcha?

Zero + Maria Cornejo Fall 2012
"I just got my American citizenship," exclaimed Chilean designer Maria Cornejo backstage before her fall runway show. "And it got me thinking, what is my identity?" It's an unexpected starting point for a designer as established as Cornejo and with a loyal core following that enables and encourages her to continue along a similar trajectory from one season to the next, fine-tuning as she goes. But this recent introspection, while in no way throwing her off course, brought new and voluminous silhouettes into play. That signature draping, although not entirely done away with, was pulled back to allow room for a new, exaggerated cocoon-like silhouette on everything from languid silk dresses to llama-coated outerwear. Cornejo also toyed with a more structured take on tailoring—slim-fitting pants cut to loosely twist around the legs, and waist-high, calf-length skirts with a daring central split.
It's fair to say that all that soul-searching took Cornejo to a significantly more colorful place. While shadowy black, gray, and white tones were still very much the mainstay of her palette, accents of cobalt (which has seeped into her past couple of collections) and rich, royal purple made for optimistic additions. One funnel-neck sweater and a lean, ankle-length skirt, drenched in a luminous shade of lemon, might end up being too hot for some of Cornejo's devotees to handle. But that, along with her silk iridescent printed sheath-like dresses, seemed to hark back to her early post-punk days in London. "My identity is what I've become over the years," continued the designer, who has lived in Britain, Paris, and New York. "It's not English, or French, it's my own thing." All things considered, it appears Cornejo knew exactly who she was all along.

Photo Flash: First Look at Holland Taylor in ANN on Broadway
Directed by Benjamin Endsley Klein, Ann has scenic design by Michael Fagin, costume design by Julie Weiss, lighting design by Matthew Richards, sound design by Ken Huncovsky, projection design by Zachary Borovay, wig design by Paul Huntley, and is produced by Bob Boyett and Harriet Newman Leve with co-producers Jane Dubin, Jack Thomas, Mark Johannes, Amy Danis in association with Sarahbeth Grossman, Jon Cryer, Lisa Joyner, Minerva Productions, Lary Brandt, Brian Dorsey, Kate Hathaway, Allison Thomas, Jennifer Isaacson and Lincoln Center Theater. Ann is executive produced by Kevin Bailey.
This season, a true original comes to Broadway at Lincoln Center. Ann is an intimate, no-holds-barred portrait of Ann Richards, the legendary Governor of Texas. This inspiring and hilarious new play brings us face to face with a complex, colorful and captivating character bigger than the state from which she hailed. Written and performed by Emmy Award winner Holland Taylor ("Two and a Half Men"), Ann takes a revealing look at the impassioned woman who enriched the lives of her followers, friends and family.
ANN began as a project and quest for Taylor to understand what it was about this housewife, mother, grandmother, leader and iconic patriot that affected so many people so deeply. Writing the play became a four year journey for Taylor, crisscrossing the country, interviewing people who knew the Governor, watching countless hours of video coverage, and pouring over reams of Richards' personal and public papers at the University of Texas. In the end, her greatest resources were the family, friends, staff and colleagues of the Governor who allowed Holland to know Ann Richards as they knew her.
ANN played to sold-out audiences at Galveston's Grand 1894 Opera House in the summer of 2010, San Antonio's Empire Theatre in the fall of 2010, and Austin's Paramount Theatre in the spring of 2011. In the fall of 2011 the new play opened to critical acclaim at Chicago's Bank of America Theatre, and went on to have a smash hit run at Washington DC's Kennedy Center in winter of 2011/2012.

Rheumatic fever is a complicated, involved disease that affects the joints, skin, heart, blood vessels, and brain. It is a systemic immune disease that may develop after an infection with streptococcus bacteria, such as strep throat and scarlet fever.
Rheumatic fever is a delayed, autoimmune reaction to the streptococcus bacteria. It can be prevented with prompt diagnosis of strep throat, and treatment of strep throat with antibiotics. It is uncommon in the US, except in children who have had strep infections that were untreated or inadequately treated.
The symptoms of rheumatic fever usually start about one to five weeks after your child has been infected with streptococcus bacteria. The following are the most common symptoms of rheumatic fever. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Children ages 5 to 15, particularly if they experience frequent strep throat infections, are most at risk for developing rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever is also more common in children who have a family history of the disease. There is an increased prevalence of rheumatic fever in the winter and spring, as strep throats occur more frequently during these seasons. Strep infections are contagious, but rheumatic fever is not.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, rheumatic fever is diagnosed by your child's physician based on the presence of criteria found in the revised modified Jones criteria diagnostic tool (standard guidelines for diagnosis of rheumatic fever):
The diagnosis of rheumatic fever can be made when two of the major criteria, or one major criterion plus two minor criteria, are present along with evidence of a streptococcal infection. Some children may have poststreptococcal arthritis and do not fulfill criteria for acute rheumatic fever.
There is no definitive test to diagnose rheumatic fever. Blood work is also usually done to assist in making a diagnosis. Your child's physician may also order an electrocardiogram, or EKG (a test that records the electrical activity of the heart, shows abnormal rhythms - arrhythmias or dysrhythmias - and detects heart muscle damage of the heart) as part of the diagnostic process for rheumatic fever. A throat culture may also be done to determine if the child tests positive for streptococcus bacteria, although during the initial phase of rheumatic fever, the throat culture is often negative.
Specific treatment for rheumatic fever will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Children with rheumatic fever are often treated in the hospital, depending upon the severity of the disease.
Treatment for rheumatic fever, in most cases, combines the following three approaches:
Depending on the severity of the initial attack of the disease on the heart, some children may develop heart disease. Physical activity and sports may be restricted in your child, based on your child's physician's findings.
Also, if your child had heart involvement during the initial course of rheumatic fever, he/she will need to receive antibiotics before having dental work done. This helps decrease the chance of infection migrating to the heart during the dental procedure. Consult your child's physician for more information.
Yes, although the chances are reduced because of the use of antibiotics after the initial disease process. The greatest chance of recurrence is during the first three years. The chance of developing the disease again decreases with age and time since the first attack.
After having rheumatic fever, your child will need medications on a monthly basis to help decrease the chance of developing rheumatic fever again. Usually by the time your child is 18 and your child's physician feels he/she is not at risk for developing heart disease, the antibiotic therapy may be stopped. Close follow-up with your child's physician is needed.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/11/2012 (1734 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba posted one of the biggest increases in retail sales in the country in September, according to new Statistics Canada figures released today.
The agency said the province's retailers sold $1.4 billion worth of goods during the month. That was an increase of 1.2 per cent from the $1.39 billion worth sold in the previous month.
Manitoba was one of only five provinces to see an increase in sales from August to September. Its gain was the second biggest among the five, after Alberta's 1.7 per cent.
The September total was also a 1.7 per cent improvement from a year earlier, when $1.38 billion worth of sales were sold. It was the fifth biggest increase among the eight provinces that posted year-over-year gains.
Nationally, Statistics Canada said retail sales edged up 0.1 per cent to $39.1 billion in September, helped by sales of new cars. It was the third straight monthly increase .
The biggest increase, in dollar terms, among all subsectors was a 0.6 per cent rise at motor vehicle and parts dealers, with new car sales up 0.9 per cent.
However, BMO Capital Markets economist Robert Kavcic noted that excluding auto sales, the results were flat and below consensus. Economists had expected growth of 0.5 per cent for the month.
"Indeed, sales growth has now cooled to a humble 1.8 per cent year over year as Canadian retailers face some stiff challenges," Kavcic wrote in a note to clients.
"In addition to cooling domestic consumer credit growth, this weekend's likely stampede of shoppers south of the border will highlight the other challenges — a loonie near parity, more generous duty-free limits and more aggressive U.S. sale prices."

Search for Leonardo da Vinci's "The Battle of Anghiari"
Photograph by David Yoder
The search for Leonardo da Vinci's "The Battle of Anghiari" project—conducted in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio—is led by the National Geographic Society and University of California San Diego's Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology (CISA3), in cooperation with the city of Florence.
Hidden Treasure?

This is a close-up of Giorgio Vasari's painting in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio. "Cerca Trova"—seek and you shall find—is too small to be seen from the floor of the Hall of 500. Researchers believe this may be a clue to finding Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, "The Battle of Anghiari."

Tracking the Clues
Photograph by Dave Yoder
Cosimo Rucellai, a Milan lawyer, holds a copy of a contemporary sketch of "The Battle of Anghiari" that has been handed down within his family from generation to generation. National Geographic photographer Dave Yoder believes this copy is interesting since the rider on the right is sketched in much lighter than the rest of the drawing. It could indicate the sketch was copied from the painting.
Gap Between Scaffolding and Painting

Last year, approximately 40-45% of my injuries were hand injuries. This year, we've cut that in half, all the way down to 21% and I think the use of the Magid ROC GP150 glove is a big factor. I can pick a paper clip up off my desk while wearing one of these gloves. That is saying a lot. Plus, when you add the fact that the ROC GP150 enables your employees' hands to breathe, you've got a solution that's win-win across the board.

PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's soccer team kept their hot streak going to start the season as the Lions shut out Delta State en route to a 3-0 neutral site victory on Sunday afternoon. The win keeps the Lions undefeated to start the season as they are now 2-0. Delta State is left searching for their first victory of 2013 as they are now 0-3.
The Lions' Javiem Blanchette broke the scoreless tie in the 27th minute in a game played on the campus of the University of West Florida. Blanchette controlled a deflected entry pass into the box and blasted it into the net to put the Lions' ahead.
Maximilian Schulze-Geisthovel added his first contributions of the 2013 season when one of his four shots hit true, giving the Lions a two-goal advantage. Henry Adu would cap the scoring for Saint Leo in the 76th minute off a corner kick that he redirected in from the near post.
The story of the 90 minutes sat with the Saint Leo defense and goalkeeper Manuel Schoenhuber. In registering back-to-back shutouts following his 1-0 clean sheet over West Florida on Friday, the sophomore stonewalled the Lions' opponents racking up six saves. Delta State fired 12 shots toward the Saint Leo goal, but only six were between the posts and all were stuffed by Schoenhuber.
Coming back to Saint Leo after picking up two impressive wins, the journey does not get any easier for the Lions as they now turn their attention to a non-conference meeting with Florida Southern in Lakeland on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
For the latest news, updates, and information on the Saint Leo men's soccer team, be sure to visit SaintLeoLions.com. Fans can also stay up-to-date on the latest Lions news by following Saint Leo Athletics on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube.

TPWD To Hold Hearings for Local Grants Program
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Recreation Grants Program has scheduled a round of public hearings to present information about and solicit input on the local park grant program.
The program includes Outdoor Grants, Indoor Grants, Small Community Grants, Regional Grants, Community Grants, Regional Grants, Community Outdoor Outreach Program Grants, Recreational Trails Grants and Boating Access Grants.
"We're going to talk about existing programs, deadlines and what the programs do," said Tim Hogsett, TPWD's recreation grants director. "We also want to know whether people like the current deadlines and amounts they can apply for, and in particular the scoring systems — the criteria we use to evaluate projects and make recommendations to the TPW Commission."
Grants are generally awarded twice a year, typically on a matching basis, and different grant programs are funded by state and federal sporting goods and gasoline taxes. In August 2006, TPW awarded more than $4 million in grant funding for local parks across the state.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department administers the Recreation and Parks Account program and uses a priority scoring system to determine which projects are eligible to receive matching grant funds for recreational projects. For more information on local park grants, call the Recreation Grants division of Texas Parks and Wildlife at (512) 912-7124 or e-mail email@example.com.
Local governments such as cities, counties, municipal utility districts and water districts depend on these grants to develop public outdoor recreation facilities for playgrounds, sports, trails, hunting, fishing, aquatic activities, camping and beautification.

Microsoft May Delay Longhorn to 2007
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, Software
In news that just boggles my mind, it appears that Microsoft may delay the next version of the Windows operating system, Longhorn, to 2007. Friends, that is two years away. Now, Windows XP was released in 2001, so you do the math. Now, Microsoft Windows users aren't the only ones suffering in this situation. If Longhorn is pushed back by a few quarters, Microsoft partners are going to be left out in the cold yet again. Sales projections, which they have been counting on, will once again be thrown off. My goodness Bill, can't you fix this? I guess we can expect even more features to be stripped from Longhorn. Yet another reason to make the switch I guess.

Voom Gets Voted Out By Cablevision
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment
We knew this day was coming, but we somehow hoped there would be some way - somehow - that Voom would be able to hang on and become that Comeback Kid. Alas, the CableVision Board of Directors has voted to bring the floundering high definition service to an end. Hey, it was a good run. I was interested in Voom when I first got my HDTV, as it would be nice to take full advantage of such a setup. However, lack of standard Pay-Per-View options (gotta have WWE!), and too much "filler" content turned me off to the service. I imagine I wasn't the only one.

Sign Up For .Mac and Get 30-Day T-Mobile Hotspot Access
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Hot Deals, Wireless / WiFi
If you have been on the fence about giving up $100 large to Apple for a .Mac account, you may want to reconsider if you are constantly on the go and in need of wireless net access. Through June 29, 2005, if you sign up for a .Mac account, you will also receive a free 30 day trial of the T-Mobile Hotspot service. Not too bad when you consider that a month of Hotspot access would cost you $39.95 in the first place. Of course, more and more free hotspots seem to sprout up each day, but who am I to judge?

More Details On Macally SyncBoxII
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories
We recently told you about the Macally SyncBoxII, the portable USB device that allows you to transfer data from one USB device to another. While it sounded intriguing, I needed to know if it would give us functionality that we don't already have in some of our products. I made a few calls and got a few more details:
- If the USB device requires its own driver to operate, it will not work with the SyncBoxII. If it uses a built-in Microsoft driver, it will be compatible.
- The SyncBoxII will not recognize Mac formatted drives, nor will it recognize NTFS format. This one is all about FAT32.
- The SyncBoxII will fully support iPod-to-iPod transfers.
There you have it - many of you emailed asking if the product would actually allow two iPods to transfer/copy media back and forth to one another. It certainly will, now you can rest easy knowing you won't have to use the iCopulate!
Best Buy Has Customer Arrested For Using $2 Bills
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News
Just when we think they are doing some good in the tech world, they go and mess it up, as always. Best Buy customer Mike Bolesta simply wanted to purchase a car stereo. After being assured that a particular model would fit, he realized the Best Buy sales rep was incorrect (this sounds familiar). After being told the installation fee would be waived due to the error, he was able to get the correct stereo. When he got home, he received a call from Best Buy saying he needed to pay the fee. Upset about the horrible service he received, Mike decided to pay the $144 charge using only $2 bills. Now, there is no law against this. $2 bills are still legal tender here in the United States. He handed over 57 bills, and should have been able to be on his way. Instead, he was asked accusingly if they were real. Then they called the cops. I feel for ya Mike, it's just unfortunate that I have heard stories like this in the past - and yours probably won't be the last. Anyone else have a story of horrible customer service at an electronics retailer?
(Thanks antman!)

AOL Launches VoIP Service
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Internet
The Voice over IP market just got a little bit bigger. AOL has launched its VoIP service at a promotional rate of $29.99 a month for non-AOL users and $13.99 a month for AOL users. The service includes standard features found in most calling plans such as voicemail, 3-way calling, caller ID, call waiting and call forwarding. AOL's new VoIP service also includes "advanced AOL features" such as AOL voicemail, AOL call alert and AOLbyPhone. The company is trying to offer competitive prices by bundling some its services with their VoIP package. What stands out in AOL's package is that they provide enhanced 911 service, which delivers the caller's address to dispatchers when in case of emergency. This is something other companies have not been able to implement or offer as an included service. AOL is promising to make VoIP easy to install and use just like the rest of its services so that mass-market consumers may take advantage of this technology.

Xbox 2/360 To Be Unveiled May 16
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
We knew it would happen at E3, but according to the game guru at CNN's Game Over, Chris Morris, Microsoft will unveil the next Xbox on Monday, May 16. That's two days before the E3 Expo officially begins. According to Morris, the name Xbox 360 is pretty much a shoe-in. Rumor has it that they are still debating the hard drive issue and are working hard on backwards compatibility. A foreshadowing fact is that Microsoft recently acquired silicon graphics patents. The CPU is rumored to be capable of decoding and executing in Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) while at the same time being able to run x86 code for backwards compatibility with the current Xbox library. We will soon have all the info - it is now only a matter of time.

Parodia Electronic Self-Steering Cars
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech, Software
We may be close to the day where cars won't require steering wheels, at least according to Milan-based Parodia Electronica. They have developed a satellite navigation system on test vehicles which responds to data generated from dGPS (differential GPS). Simply put, the software can determine the position of the test vehicles to within +/- 50 centimeters. It uses servo commands from the navigation system to actuate an electro-hydraulic steering mechanism. They have successfully navigated on public roads in Southern Italy between a set of fixed points without any steering input from the driver, as they only control the brake and accelerator. Parodia's technical director said, "The steering wheels are for show only." Sounds like in years to come, we may be able to snooze all the way to work.

Car Rental Company Loses GPS Policing Case
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech
Chalk one up for the people. The Connecticut Supreme Court has proclaimed that a $150 "excessive wear and tear" penalty charged by Acme 'American Rental' is illegal. Acme outfitted their vehicles with GPS systems and set them up to rat you out if you drive at least 80mph for over two minutes at a time. Of course, details were buried deep within the fine print, and the GPS devices was never mentioned. The contract simply stated "Vehicles driven in excess of the posted speed limit will be charged $150 per occurrence." Some customers were fined more than once on the same rental.
Justice David M. Borden wrote, "Using the [consumer department] hearing officer's calculation, a customer would have to travel more than 1,070 miles at high speeds, without decelerating below 80 miles per hour, to cause $150 of excess wear on the vehicle." Unfortunately the ruling is in regards to the excessive fine, stating that there really was no extreme wear on the vehicle. The companies' use of GPS to track a customer's actions was not touched. So, we won this battle but we have no precedent for our coming war.

It would have been a 5 star instead of 4,if it weren't for Watson. Sorry but I just didn't like the way Grant sounded.
Randy Mc
CBS RMT is like visiting an old friend from childhood that you haven't seen in yrs. They invite you into their home on a cold and snowy afternoon, and from the moment you step into the door, you are impressed with the homey atmosphere of the place. There is a nice fire going in the fireplace, and good smells are coming out of the kitchen. Your friend invites you to take off your shoes, and put on some slippers so you can be comfortable. At dinnertime, you notice that your friend remembered your favorite dishes and encourages you to not be shy and eat as much as you want. Over dinner you reminisce over the good old days. After dinner, your friend brings out scrap books, yearbooks, and other momentos. You are invited to sit in one of the big comfortable recliners in front of the fireplace while your friend brings in a big full pot of piping hot choclate on a tray with two coffee cups and saucers. Instead of reclining in your chairs, you and your friend thumb through photos, letters, comic books, magazines, scrapbooks, yearbooks, and other momentos that have all been placed on a small but roomy oak table that is situated between the recliners. You spend hrs. Laughing and trying to wipe away a few tears as well while recalling your childhood and how so much time has gone by. When it comes time to leave, you really don't want to because seeing your friend took you back to your days in elementary through high school. You and your friend not only talked about friends, family and neighbors during your visit, but you even talked about the music during your childhood that was popular, the singers that performed them, and where were they now. You also talked about tv, tv shows, and fashion trends back in the seventies. You even laughed and helped each other remember the lyrics to hit songs and commercial jingles from the seventies. You even recalled some of the top newsmakers during the era such as the Watergate break in, and the Patty Hearst kidnapping. Upon leaving, ypur friend gives you several momentos to keep. You trade in your comfortable slippers for your regular shoes, and you put on your winter coat, gloves, and scarf to venture back out into freezing temperatures to face the real world, but before you go, your friend tells you that they thoroughly enjoyed your visit and they don't hesitate to invite you back. Please don't become a stranger, you're always welcome to come back. You know that your friend means it when they invite you back, and you know that you will come back because your friend has always been more like family, and seeing them again took you back in time to some of the best days of your life.
Kim, nice thoughts. Back to the episode. I tried twice to listen to this episode--I just got lost. Some of these episodes keep you spellbound--others do not. This is the latter. Not one of the better episodes. 2 stars.
Kim.. You have summed it up beautifully. CBSRMT is all that and a good night around the campfire telling stories over piping hot cups of cocoa, wrapped up in a wool blankey...

NEW Wests Tigers coach Mick Potter doesn't want to harness the attacking prowess of his ball-players but has asked them to be conscious of the match situation throughout this year.
Potter will get his first real look at his troops when they take on Parramatta in a pre-season trial in Campbelltown on Saturday night.
But for Potter, it's not a matter of looking out for how individuals perform - he has all but settled on his side for round one.
The former Bradford coach is interested to see how his side handles different scenarios in the match, admitting he wanted the Tigers to play with more respect for the context of each game.
The Tigers have long been considered the entertainers of the competition and, while Potter doesn't want to turn his side into robots, has encouraged his side to find a balance.
''I want them to understand the situation in a set of six and do things at the right time in the game,'' he said. ''I don't want them being confused about winning the game in the second minute of the match. I want them to accumulate points and earn the right to score more points.''
The Tigers, who started last year as pre-season premiership favourites, finished the season in 10th position.
But it wasn't their placing that concerns Potter - it was the fact they conceded 551 points (23 points per game), the 12th worst defensive record in the competition.
He knows his side won't have any trouble scoring points, especially with Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah in the side, but sometimes their eagerness to post points has brought about their downfall.
And while Potter's determined to add some steel to their defence and add some restraint in attack, he doesn't want his star players to lose their natural flair with the ball.
''I looked at the for-and-against from last year and it was slightly tilted the wrong way,'' he said. ''Scoring points is no problem with the people we have in attack, we just have to know the best times to do things. I don't want to harness that talent, but we need to reduce the points scored against us. I want them to find that balance for the team.''
Meanwhile, North Queensland have secured the services of co-captain Matt Scott until the end of the 2017 season.
Scott rejected interest from Parramatta to remain with the Cowboys, who now turn their attention to halfback Johnathan Thurston. He is likely to become the highest-paid player in the game once he finalises his contract, regardless of where he chooses to finish out his career.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - It's been a highly debated topic in Florida since before it was even set to be on the ballot for November's election: medical marijuana.
Saturday, before the drug has even been legalized, a group will be offering a seminar here in town on how to run a business with medical marijuana should it become legal in Florida.
The Cannabis Career Institute has been doing these classes all over the country for a few years now. They do them before marijuana is legalized in states, so that when it is, those that choose to be one of the licensed growers are following all the laws while they do it.
"You have to get ahead of the curve and find locations, create a business plan and make yourself more attractive to the state, which is going to give you a state approved dispensary, grow op, edibles operation," said Robert Calkin, president/CEO of the Cannabis Career Institute.
"You want to get ahead of the game so you make yourself more attractive to the people who choose who is going to have the businesses here."
Calkin says that the one of the main things he wants people interested in a medical marijuana business need to do is select a proper location. He says that you want your business to be somewhere that isn't a nuisance to the community living near it.
"People will find you. You don't have to put big green crosses out on your business or say marijuana dispensary. You can just market your business in a way that's discreet and not going to bother people who don't want the marijuana businesses."
He teaches the laws that sellers and buyers will need to know should medical marijuana become legal, like how much they can charge, what types of taxes they are subject to, and how to make sure they don't lose their state license.
Calkin also says his classes have had strong support from law enforcement in many places they've held them.
"They come to the classes to make sure we're not all doing something illegal and they leave realizing that, 'hey, they are trying to follow the law. Hey, they are trying to work with us. They are doing things to make sure we don't have conflict.'
The class is Saturday morning at the Hyatt Place hotel off of Duval Road near the airport and starts at 9 a.m. For anyone who can't make this class, Calkin says they will be back in the area every two months offering classes.

Ray is the son of Roy and Jesse Dorman. He was born in extreme poverty and talked about hunting craw dads, possum and such for meals as a young child.
He began assisting the family financially at the age of 5 yeas old. He worked carrying 50lb sacks of cotton and was paid very little for the difficult work. He told me many tines that he would work in the fields 9 months out of the year to make the money needed for shoes to wear to school for the remaining school year.
Daddy was a self educated man. He was very intelligent in spite of lacking formal education.
He married his wife, Christine in 1939 at the age of 19. They lived in Texas until migrating with his folks and family in late 1940 to California where the family worked as migrant farmers finally settling at Foothill Farms in Corona, CA. The Farm no longer stands and the orchard that once were there are no more they have been replaced with modern homes and businesses. They lived in small homes there on the farm, my grandparents, aunts and uncles.
He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force and was enducted at Ft Ord AAB in Montery, CA. Upon completing his basic training he was transferred to Daugherty Air Field/AAF Base in Long Beach CA where he awaited his transfer to England for over-sea service.
He was stationed in England at Wendling, Norfolk, England the Wendling AAF Station 118 with the 576th/577th Unit of the 392nd Heavy Bombardment Group of the Eight Army Air Force.
Amongst all the bitter and sad memories of the war were many wonderful memories of several men who served with him. Some of whom he remained friends with after returning to the states, Joe and Joan Bellelo of Corona became my folks card partners for a time. I remember as a young child going to visit the two of them. Joe met Joan in England, married her and brought her stateside with him where they lived happily until their passings.
He left the Corona area about 1950 where he purchased a small Full Service Gas Station called Ray's Signal Service. He took great pride in the stories he shared about his life during that time period. He ran a succesful business as a Mechanic and Business owner until he was forced out by a Large oil company, a devastating blow.
At one time both he and my mother worked for Northrop Aircraft Corp in Long Beach, CA building parts for planes.
He lived in Harbor City, CA for a time but removed with his family to Baldwin Park, CA where they lived until 1974 moving to La Puente/West Covina, CA. During those years he worked as an Auto Mechanic for only a few employers as he was a loyal and devoted employee who NEVER missed a day of work unless dire circumstances warranted it.
Upon retiring he and Mom relocated to the High Desert of CA, Apple Valley where he enjoyed fishing, gardening, doing odd jobs for Mom and mostly spending time with his children, grandchildren and other family and friends.

HP Leaks Their First Chromebookby Jason Inofuentes on 1/29/2013 11:57 AM EST
16 Comments
Back to Article
JarredWalton - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkGiven they're sticking with the lower resolution and the keyboard appears to have plenty of unused space on the sides, I predict that the actual utility of the larger size will be nil. 13.3" vs. 14" is already such a silly differentiation; ever noticed how Apple has 13.3", 15.3", and 17.0" displays with no 14" option? It's because half an inch isn't really noticeable at this size.
Anyway, I hope they do more than just have a larger chassis, but it doesn't sound like it. A better touchpad, keyboard, screen, and build quality would at least have done something to warrant the $130 price premium over the Acer C7. 16GB NAND these days should actually cost less than a 320GB HDD in the Acer! Especially since we're not talking highest-performance NAND. Reply
themossie - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkI otherwise agree with you, but as long as they're not offering both sizes (13.3" and 14"), no big whoop.
Justify the premium with better build quality and, please, battery life!
Not that I expect anything so cool out of HP. Reply
JasonInofuentes - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkJarred, you're probably hitting on why it's happening. Say you've got some chassis's on the shelf. One is selling pretty well, the other lagging behind. You've already got the chassis sitting in the warehouse, you gotta do something with them. So hand them over to the Chrome team and let them go for whatever price you can justify. It doesn't matter what the size is, nor really the specs. The key is to make them as cheap as you can.
I think in this case, Acer probably was a little more willing to push the prices down to make it work. HP's just not placing as big a bet on Chrome yet. Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkWell, and Acer isn't using an SSD, as to the price bit.
Yeah, these are probably unsold units getting a 2nd life. Reply
A5 - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkIt's Linux-based, but tying it to a specific release of Ubuntu isn't a meaningful distinction. Given that we're still in the very early stages of ChromeOS, expecting more than 2-3 years of meaningful software support would be misguided. Reply
HibyPrime1 - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkIf Chrome OS is successful, which it's looking like it's carving out a decent niche in the market, then I would expect support to out-live the device. They aren't likely to ditch x86 entirely for ARM in the near future, so I see no reason why they wouldn't continue to offer updates.
To me, asking that question is a bit like asking how long will windows offer updates? Well even if Win 2000 is discontinued, you can update to windows 7 or 8 as long as the hardware is fast enough. Reply
powerarmour - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkIf I'm not mistaken Chrome OS is a rolling release (and based on Chromium OS, not Ubuntu), so it'll be supported until Google decide to pull the plug, so quite a long while yet I'd have thought! Reply
pixelstuff - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - link1366x768 on a 14"?
Didn't PC sales start to decline at the same time manufacturers started offering crappy low res and 16:9 screens? This is probably the sole reason for the decline of the PC in popularity.
I have no proof to back that up of course, it is pure speculation, and based only on my own decision to repeatedly gloss over any PC with those specs. :-)
Does anyone know if a manufacturer has released the same laptop with both a 1366x768 and a 1440x900 option to see which sells better? Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkThe difference being that FOSS support for Intel graphics as old as that in my 2005 laptop still exists, and will continue to exist for a long time. So why would a 2011-era platform be any source of worry?
"more true of Linux" seems like a mistaken statement. It's more true of Windows, really, since the kernel will be compatible with Mesa for a LONG time.
A parallel example: Linux supports every printer that ever had a CUPS driver. It's a standard. Support isn't thrown out to make you buy a new product because Linux isn't selling things.
Last I checked, my Nvidia Vanta was still supported by FOSS. -_- what more could you ask for.
It's not even the device drivers determining EOL on Android, either. That's carriers, dumb partitioning, the excess large-capacity surcharge, and software skinning.
Google's got the carriers, dumb partitioning, excess high-storage capacity charge, and software skinning handled. Find me evidence that Chrome OS is going to run into an issue. Reply
lmcd - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkI don't even mind that it isn't 1080p or 2160p or whatever everyone wants, but a 1600x1200 or even a 1600x900 (damn 16:9 ratio) screen would be a fantastic upgrade for this.
Too bad 1600x1000 never caught on. It'd make a great next budget resolution, in my opinion. Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - link1680x1050 is really that different for you to need 1600x1000? :D Reply
kmmatney - Thursday, January 31, 2013 - linkToo bad they don't make 1680 x 1050 anymore. It's was a great resolution for a gaming monitor at 22". Nice size screen, that doesn't require a super high-end video card. Reply
Henk Poley - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkWhy do they insist on glossy palm rests, those will look like dirt magnets after a day of use. Reply
gus6464 - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkOverpricing everything. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, February 01, 2013 - linkThat's an EXCELLENT question, given that really no one but Microsoft does a good job supporting anything very long. Apple's decent, but barely acceptable IMO, and most Android devices are...well, actually out of date when they ship. Amazon's devices are supported even worse.
And of course these things are well into real PC territory in terms of price... Reply
Amit kumar - Saturday, April 06, 2013 - linkWow amazing and pretty solid device. Thanks for one of the fairest review of this. I got its full specification on this website as well. http://www.gadtecho.com/ Reply

Sure, sounds good. We are in Pampanga and in Mindanao so maybe back once a quarter this year.
Cristy and I will be in Hong Kong next week and have meetings there..any chance you are near?
Thank you Mathias for your insight. I will keep you updated as I collect the data and move towards implementation.
Kind regards... Ruth
Hi Mathias,
Nice to meet you. Glad you are a techie. I need all the techie help I can get. I'm looking to implement FLSMS in Kenya soon in the area of mass drug administration. Doing lots of ground work right now. Have you implemented FLSMS yet? Can you route responses directed to forms?.
Hello Mathias,
I wondered if you had used this application anywhere in the mountains? Xinjiang perhaps? If so, what did you do?
